Kon makapamista ko diha, sigurado gyud ko nga mahubog sa ila kay "drink as you can".Dili na lang huna-hunaon nato kon asa gikan ang pagkaon. Basta pista, kaon toda-tuda. KOn unsay anomaliya  diha sa iyang pagkamayor, no comments na ko. Lisod kaayo na manaway ta, dili na ko taga diha.

Bahin sa eskwelahan, tinuod na, hapit na mangaholog ang kisami ug bongbong kay daan na kaayo. Mao may one and only building sa among panahon niadtong 1960.

Dili kaayo concern ang mayor bahin ani. Dapat ang head teacher, iyang e condemn ni niya nga building aron gubaon na lang. Ikaduha, daghang rooms diha karon nga wala nagamit kay gamay ra lagi ang atong enrollment karon.

Sir Hugo, komusta na lang diha  sa akong mga classmates: Dodong Irig, Billy Daquipil, Lydia Banal, Segundino Calves, Mansueto Israel ug uban pa. Kaila ka tingali nila kay taga Sawang sila.

Bahin sa mga public properties pareha sa karaang eskwelahan, dili mangilabot ang mga elected opisyals ana. Ang school maoy concern ana. Nagpasagad lang tingali ang mga maestra diha, gipasagdan na lang nila.

KOn gubaon ni nga building, buhatan pa ug Waste Material Report ug  pa aprobahan pa ni sa COA. Kon approved na, ayha pa  gubaon,    unya e bidding ang mga ginoba.

Tinuod ni bay Kaboy. Nakita nako ni sa pag-uli niadtong 2008.

Ang una nga mo mo action ang ang PTA ug ang head teacher. Niadtong among panahon ,ang Canangcaan ang pinakanindot nga eskwelahan during the time of Mr. Ramon  Gasque.

Kana nga kaso, dili nato epasangil sa mayor. Ikaw kaboy, usa ka concern citizen sa Canangcaan, please refer to the barangay captain or the PTA officials.

para nako, maayo seguro ug dili na lang nato abi-abihon kini si mr. felix daray tungod ug alang kanatong mga nagpakabana nga mga corellahanon.
kini ang maong mga rason ug kapasikaran:

1) sa unahan, mi-angkon kini si mr daray nga dugong corellahanon gumikan sa iyang ginikanan ug kagikan nga hingpit gayud nga taga corella, baryo canagca-an.pero karon dili na kuno siya magpanghilabot kay dili na kuno siya taga corella. Nan, maayo pay magpakahilom na lamang siya.sayang lang, ang dugong corellahanon nga nagdagan sa imong kaugatan mr. daray. Kung ang tawo sama kanimo malu-ibon sa kausa sa pagpakabana.

2) Kini si Mr daray, loyalista gayud kini ni Mr. Rapal, bisag unsa,modapig gayud kini.Bisan pa kini siya ug "kuha-an sa iyang panit,asinan ug itunlob sa suka" mosinggit gihapon siya ug Rapal. Busa dili na lang kita mag-usik sa atong mga tubag dinhi.kay kining tawhana dili man gayud maminaw bisan unsang mga isyu nga hisgutan kabahin sa sukwahi nga pagpadagan sa administrasyon ni Mr. Rapal. ang importante kaniya, mo-uli siya sa Corella, aron magpaka-busog ug mahubog uban sa iyang amigo nga si Mr. Rapal. dili ba kini nato matawag ug usa ka "bu-aya ug iho"-mao kini ang tawag sa mga tawo nga ilang kaugalingon lamang ang gihuna-huna.

3) Kung atong basahon ang iyang uban mga tubag-tampo dinhi, walay gayud unod ug puro bugal-bugal lamang. Sa usa ka propesyonal nga sama kaniya dili unta angay atong i-ubos ang atong level aron ato siya tubagon.

4) kabahin sa iyang tubag, mahitungog sa eskwelan. sa local government code, adunay katungod ug responsibilidad ang local nga kagamhanan parte sa mga public schools, highways, ug uban pang edispisyong publiko kung kini nahisakop sa ilang jurisdiction.Ila kining responsibilidad ang pag mentenar aron ana-a kini sa maayong kondisyon ug nagahatag sa ilang  tumong.Ang eskwelahan sa Canang-ca-an usa ka dakung ehemplo sa pagpasagad sa pagdumala sa administrasyon Rapal. Ang munisipyo (pwera ang likod ug sulod sa munisipyo),mercado,health centre nabag-o?, pero ang eskwelahan nga gikinahanglan sa mga bata aron maka-kat-on ug mahulma ang ilang ugma napasagdan. Dili kaha kay ang eskwelahan sa canangca-an "low priority" kay:
1) nahitago man kini sa layong baryo,pipila lamang nga taga corella ug uban pang tawo ang maka-saksi nga kini dunot ug guba-on na
2) kay ubos man kini sa DECS, ang ayuda para ibag-o o i-ayo ni-ini dili man mo-agi sa mayor, natural nganong  mag-interes man si Mr Rapal nga dili man siya maka-sapi ni-ini
3) sa ubos nga kwenta, dili gusto si Mr. Rapal nga makakat-on ang mga bata sa  kay kung ang taga Canangca-an makina-admanon ug makabaton ug maayo ug patas nga pangisip, basin unya ug mahigmata ra sila nga gi-tonto ug gi-ilad lamang sila sa usa ka tawo nga hakug sa gahum. Kay para kang Mr. Rapal, dili man importante ang edukasyon, kay usama sa iyang anak nga nagbalhin-balhin na sa iyang kurso, gi-usik-usikan ang bahandi ug panahon wala pa gihapon makahuman. Unya karon gusto nga magpapili nga konsehal sa atong lungsod.
kung tunghay pa ang iyang program, unta ang maayong ehemplo mao ang iyang anak nga mao unta ang modelo sa maayong edukasyon.

Sir Hugo, paminawa ang akong tubag.
1. Tinuod, ako Corellahanon, taga Canangca-an. Ako dunay dakong gugma ug panglantaw sa akong mga paryente diha, ug diha ra ko kutob. Dili nako manghilabot sa inyong problema diha, kay sa giingon ko na ,"hilabtanon ra ko kaayo." Ikaw man gani nga taga diha, concern kaayo sa Corella, wala man kay gipakita nga action o plano ba kaha aron santaon ang dili maayong plano ni Mayor Rapal. Igo ra ka sa yaw-yaw sa TB nga imong na posts.

2.Dili ko loyalista ni Mayor Rapal kay wala ko nakig-uban niya sa dugay ng panahon. Dalikyat ra ang among panag-estrya kon makauli ko diha. Ako nang nahibaloan ang tinuod nga panghitabo diha nga may mga anomaliya ang iyang nahimo pero dili pa proven kay wala may court decision. Ikaw ra ang naglitok nga "buaya ." Kon buaya si mayor, gamay ra ni nga buaya. Anak ra ni sa mga buaya diha sa provincial capitols ug city halls. Ang mga dagko nga buaya tua sa House of REPRESENTATHIEVES. Ikaw  Sano, walay delicadeza nga tawo nga motawag ug "buaya" sa usa ka tawo.Ikaw tingali, ang gitawag ug "maginoo, pero medyo bastos." Sa panahon sa pista, pwede ra ug maghubog-hubog ug magpabusog diha sa ilang balay kay mao ne  kabahin sa atong kulturang Pilipino.

3. Bahin sa akong gi post sa TB bahin sa Corella, very informative kaayo, bisan ug daghang sayop.  Gikuha na gani sa ubang websites.  Ang imong  posts, puro lang pagsangyaw sa maayong balita bahin sa mga kahiwian ni Rapal. Huna-hunaa, kon kinsay mayor diha nga nakahimo ug  daghang proyecto, kondili siya lang: water system, bag-ong palengke, cemented road gikan sa Corella paingon sa Canangcaan, health center, renovation sa municipal hall, day care centers ug uban pa.

4.Bahin sa eskwelahan, nangabuha ang ubang rooms ug building kay tulo na lang ka classrooms ang gigamit kay gamay na ang enrollent. Ang mga maestra diha wala magtagad sa karaang building nga guba na kaayo. Dili  na lang iapil nato si mayor diha nga bahin. Gamay ra na nga problema.

5. Dili ko na lang tas-on. Hinaot nga maka posts ka diri sa TB ug mga maayong hunahuna para sa kalamboan, informations, updates diha sa Corella , kay walay bayad.  Maayo tingali , maglaban mo si Mayor Rapal karong 2013, pagka mayor.

Sano Hugo..., ayaw baja kasuko...,  kay mamista ko sa injo karong Abril 27, pohon. Dili nato ni himoong personalan. Ang katuyoan sa TB,  "panaghigalaay,"

mr. daray, uso pa gihapon ang mga balimbing karon. Usa ka minuto mopabor ta unya usa ka idlap sa mga mata, manghugas ta sa atong mga kamot nga wala tay alyansa kanila. sa panahon sa semana santa, atong mahinumduman si pedro ug ang tulo ka-tila-ok sa manok.

sugad pa sa una, ubay -ubay gyud ang imong artikulo dinhi nga nag depensar kang mr. rapal. dili ba nagpakita kini sa imong pag simpatiya dili lang sa iyang personal nga kinabuhi kung dili sa iyang administrasyon.dili ba ang imong gipakita usa ka -suporta para kaniya.
kung atong subayon ang imong tampo dinhi, pulos nagadayeg ug nagdepensa kang mr. rapal.sa suma total, imong gi-konsinte ang iyang mga buhat. pruweba sa imong pag-angkon nga siya, usa ka "gamay nga buaya".

tinood, dili kalikayan nga adunay personalay nga mahitabo dinhi. ang pagsuporta sa usa ka kandidato, tawo o personalidad usa ka desisyon o tawag nga personal nga kabubut-on. ang imong pagdayeg kang mr. rapal, kana imong opinyon o desisyon. para kanako amdam kita sa tanang batikos, amdam kitang motubag sa mga isyu nga nagpaluyo sa atong mga gidapigan.

salamat sa imong opinyon.
si mr daray, mihatag siya sa isang opinyon ug pag-suporta kang Mr. rapal. sa iyang pag -suporta kini nagdala ug responsibilidad sa kanunayng andam sa pagtubag sa mga tuki nga tali sa iyang mga opinyon.
nahitabo lamang, nga dili myembro si mr. rapal dinhi sa TB. pero labing maayo ug awhagon nato siya. para siya ang manubag ug dili si mr daray nga iyang ka alyado.
nakasabot ko nga atu-a sya da davao, layo namo dire sa corella.pero sa iyang mga kasinati-an dinhi sa among lungsod ang iyang pagka aktibo sa tubag-tubag dinhi kabahin sa corella kini naga-aghat kanamo sa pag sulti kaniya sa tinood nga nanghitabo dinhi sa among lungsod.
dili masukod sa gidugayon ang pagka-myembro dinhi sa TB, sama sa ubang media vehicle.ang TB usa sa mga paagi nga maka pahungaw kita sa atong mga gibati, to air our grievances against anomalies, corruptions and wrong doing.dili kini limitado sa mga public officials kung dili sa mga pribado.
dagahang salamat

Naglibog na ko, abi nakog kandidato si Rapal pagka-Mayor dili man diay. Vice-Mayor ra. Ang magsangka sa Mayor puro mga former mayors. Why pick on Rapal? Hadlok ka nga maka-impluwensya siya sa mapiling bag-ong mayor pohon? Sa akong nahibaw-an mga tang-an man ning mga tawhana dugay na gud nang nag-mayor pod diha sa Corella. I know a little about Corella since I have relatives in Cancatac (known to us as Canadatac where we use to go on summer vacation sa mga bagtos pa mi.

As to airing grievances here in TB this is not the proper forum. Go to the Ombudsman with your papers. Why pick on a former Corellahanon nga dili man kandidato? Supporter? Yes, but only that.

Kung nagpraktis ug paglantugi aw pwede diri pero way personalan. Stick to the issues without resorting to personal insults.

kung maayo man kaha pagkadala ni mr. rapal ang corella, sayud tang tanan dinhi nga ang corella mga ang source sa tubig nga gipalawig ngadto sa tagbilaran ug uban pang mga lungsod. ngano ang corella dunay dili mo-menos nga 1.4 milyon pesos utang ngadto sa BWUI.
dili ba unta kita man hinoon ang mo-kita ni-ining maong kalambo-an, dili ba kita ang mo-asenso ni-ini.

para sa imong inpormasyon, ang tubig gipalit sa corella sa tag-25 centavos unya ibaligya pagbalik sa corella ug 8 pesos.kinsa man ang mayor nga mi-pirma ni-ining kasabutan (MOA). tugutan ta nga dunay resolusyon nga nagsuporta ni-ini, diha nasukod kung unsa ang credibilidad, pangisip,ug paglantaw  ni Mr. rapal.

kung maayo pa pagdala ni ni mr. rapal, duna unta kitay igo nga pundo para sa atong lokal nga panodlanan. dili na unta kita mo- hulam na usab, ilabi na ang kntrobersiyal nga 27.0 milyones ka pesos nga ipalit ug grader,pison ug i-rehabilitate sa atong water system.

Bohol’s identical triplets ‘Tres Marias’ amazing at 82

By Chito A. Fuentes
Philippine Daily Inquirer

CORELLA, BOHOL, Philippines—Three’s company for the Buagas triplets who turned 82 this year.

Known as the three Marias—Maria Magdalena, Maria Cleofe and Maria Salome—the identical triplets were born to Lucio Buagas and Feliciana Lumain in Poblacion, Corella town, on Feb. 16, 1928.

Being triplets, they never failed to arouse curiosity. However, everyone thought it was pretty amazing when they reached the age of 82.

“Honestly, our parents had other names in mind but the priest who baptized us turned us into the three Marys,” said Magdalena in Cebuano.

Magdalena is considered the eldest because she came out first, followed by Cleofe and finally, Salome.

Triplets are rare and even more so during pre-war days.

“Our parents told us our house was like a church after we were born. People wanted to see the three babies born to one mother,” Cleofe said.

Cleofe and Magdalena, both single mothers, live in the house of the latter’s son in this town.

For this interview, they were joined by Salome, a widow, who came from the house of her daughter in Barangay La Paz, Cortes town.

Bracelets 1, 2 and 3

The years have been kind to the three ladies, who look sprightly and healthy. Yes, it was still difficult to tell them apart.

“After we were born, our father put bracelets with Nos. 1, 2 and 3 on each of our wrists so people can tell us apart,” Cleofe said. Her two sisters nodded, smiling.

At their baptism, they said they were separately brought in and out of the church using a different passageway. Old-timers had given strict orders not to bring them together because they believed it was bad luck.

Their identical features had given them unique experiences.

While studying at the Corella Elementary School, they had an unfair advantage over their classmates.

“When our teacher asked a question, the one who knew the answer stood up regardless of who had been called,” Salome said, smiling.

At that time, they not only looked alike, they wore the same clothes, sported the same haircut, and had almost identical handwriting.

Confusing, fun

Salome recalled a visiting priest who refused to give her Communion thinking she had returned for seconds. The altar boy had to explain she was a triplet before the priest agreed to give her Communion.

“It must have been confusing for many people. For instance, a neighbor was amazed at how fast I could change my clothes. The truth was he had seen one of my sisters walking home from church and a few minutes later he saw me,” Cleofe said.

It was fun when they became teenagers and started getting their share of admirers.

Magdalena recalled walking home with a boy who thought she was one of her two sisters.

“When we were close to home, I yelled to my sister that a boy was looking for her. He never came back after that,” she said, laughing.

Sad times

They also had their share of sad moments.

Their mother died when they were only 7 years old. Their father, a farmer, had to raise three young daughters all by himself. He turned to his parents for help.

“Our grandfather paid nursing mothers to breastfeed us,” the triplets chorused.

Sometimes, they walked barefoot to school. When it rained, they covered themselves with banana fronds as they had no umbrellas.

Cleofe and Salome reached only Grade 6 while Magdalena was sent to a dressmaking school in Tagbilaran.

While Magdalena pursued dressmaking as a livelihood, Cleofe and Salome decided to go into trading jewelry in Misamis Occidental, Mindanao and even Cebu.

Missing each other

They could not recall if they experienced anything supernatural while away from each other. They, however, made it clear they longed for each other’s company.

“We always felt for each other. As kids, when our father scolded any of my sisters, I cried with them,” Magdalena said.

Asked about the secret of their long and healthy life, the three said their diet consists mostly of vegetables and they hardly eat pork.

“A farmer cannot afford meat so we grew up eating vegetables and root crops,” Magdalena said.

As triplets, they were never lonely—they always had each other.

“Our growing up years were difficult but we stayed close to God with constant prayer,” Magdalena said.

Celebrated

When they celebrated their 82nd birthday, Salome said she was pleasantly surprised when Tagbilaran City Councilor Oscar Glovasa gave each of them a cake.

“We were brought to the Tagbilaran City Hall because Mayor Dan Lim wanted to meet us,” Salome said.

Growing old gracefully

After living an accumulated 246 years, raising seven children, 22 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, the three Marys showed no signs of crankiness usually equated with age.

On the contrary, the Buagas sisters said they would go through life with the same innocence and happy disposition they had as children.

“They are still very active in community affairs, particularly in religious activities,” said barangay chair Jose Nicanor Tocmo Jr.

Tocmo said many people in the barangay looked up to the three ladies.

“It is rare to see women their age adapting casually to the complexities of the changing times,” he said.

sa mga bag-ong napili nga mga lokal nga kandidato sa atong lungsod sa corella, seguro panahon na nga mag-mugna kita ug atong version sa "TRUTH COMMISSION" hinaut nga adunay resolution nga paga sponsoran sa usa sa mga napiling mga konsehal.Aron atong magukod ug matuki ang mga anomaliya, kakuli-an, pagpangilad,  ug pag pangawat sa kaban sa lungsod.
I-apil sab ug tuki nag mga ni-aging mga opisyal, nga atong gitu-uhan nga ga-abusar, nangawat,nangilad ug nangurakot sa atong kaban.
Ni-inig paagiha, atong maputol ang hugaw nga dugo nga naglatay-latay sa atong pang-gobyerno.
hinaut unta nga dunay usa ka "truth commission" sa lungsod sa Corella.

There's one Tocmo family in Hinunangan, Southern Leyte. One of the children is a good friend of mine and he told me his father is from Corella. I just can't recall the name. My friend is a senior staff of Metrobank.
