Mike,

What is "prima facie"? Is this a Roman term?

I am still confused of their rules. That means only the organizers of 7Wonders can market the Chocolate hills.

What I understand is that any private enterprise who wants to use the Chocolate Hills image would ask permission first from the organizers. Why should I ask if I am a private entrepreneur? Chocolate hills is owned by nobody. It is a national monument and all of humanity owns it.

The 7W organizers are themselves just a private enterprise. It is like hi-jacking Chocolate Hills for thier own interests and forbidding other entrepreneurs to leverage from it. They have no right to do this.

How about the world's famous "Peanut Kisses"? Does that mean they have to erase the Chocolate hills image from thier Box logo in order to keep chocolate hills from disqualification?

What they are doing is commercializing and putting rules into something that is supposed to be free. They are hoarding water from a great river and sell it at retail.

They may disqualify us from thier list forever, but they can never stop the rising popularity of our beautiful hills.

Actually she sent me PM at friendster that her vacation is just two weeks. With such limited time, she plans not to go vacation and prefer the money for some home project. Sayang kuno ang plete and its not worth kay duha ra ka simana.

Murag naa mi number nga nalimtan. Dili gyud mo tally bisan ug nag calculator na mi. Imposible kaayo kay bag-o pa ko graduate ug Engineering adto nga time ug nakahibaw na ka nga Math ang kina-on basta engineering.

Ang Mama ni Blue taga Anda pero iyang Papa, taga Olango, bale baryo ni sa Santa Rosa Lapulapu Island. Mura pod ni ug Panglao nga puno sa tourista. Kaila ko kay ang bana sa akong ig-agaw iyang tiyo ang Papa ni Blue. Bale ig agaw sila ug ig-tagsa.

This is just good for students or kanang samtang nag bantay ug sari-sari store.

Maayo pa kita na lang ang magtukod ug VA provider, kay sure kwarta man diay ni nga business. Pero at least $5 is to $20 per hour kay grabe ra pud nang $3.

Hala! Taga Olango raba to si BlueAngel.

Today, May 13 is Joey Tabacco's birthday.

Happy birthday Buddy! Wish you health, wealth and happliness. How is our beer belly?

We missed your smart comments. How's your sailing and biking?

How's your two grandchildren Ryan and Kira?

Kadtong apprentice pa ko sa Cokes among routa adto sa Mangga ug diretso sa Cortes ug Balilihan. Kaduha or katulo sa usa ka simana, mo routa mi ug Corella ug Sikatuna.

Bantog ra nga ang among Salesman nga si Calope murag mangadji ining labay diha sa boundary unya magpa bulhot.

Nahinumdum ko nga last namong biyahi sa Corella, pag balik namo among gi kwenta daan ang among halin kay para diretso ug remit. Nag plano pa mi nga mang higop ug sabaw sa Mercado sa Corella. Na unsa ba nga dili man ma tally ang among kwarta bisan kadaghan na namo gi balik balik, gi gamitan pa namo ug calculator. Na abutan na lang mi ug 10:00 sa gabii ug hapit na mag sumbagay ang among Salesman ug akong kauban nga edad edaran na.

Mao nga nagsabot na lang mi nga magpakaltas sa among sweldo.

Pag abot namo sa coke gabii na ug pag dawat sa accountant, sakto man kuno ang kwarta, walay kulang. Imposible kaayo kay tulo mi nag kwenta.

After investigating and try posing as an applicant, please find below the reply I got. As you can see, the package is way below my expectation.

That means if she is charging $25 to her clients and paying to her assistants $500 per month at 40hours per week, she is only spending $3 out of her $25 and $23 per hour will go to her pocket. I calculated if she have 10 VAs, she will earn $55,200 per month and that is around P2.28 million pesos per month. Magtukod na lang ta ug parehas ani nga business adto sa US.

Nevertheless, this is good enough to utilize an idle time while waiting for better opportunities.

This is her reply:

Hi Ray,

Thank you for the comment/reply/interest you posted on WFA.  VA requirements are always in flux.  Right now, I need a person who is familiar with social book/networking using Digg, Reddit and other sites.  Are you familiar?  I also have several online ads for VA right now, one of them in CL.  Please read on below and if interested (and meet requirements) please feel free to apply.

Take care,
K

1. Fluent in English - written and spoken 2. Must know all of the following: MS Word, MS Excel 3. Google Docs

Obviously working remotely means we will not be on your back the whole time and if you can not follow simple instructions while applying, our theory is you will not be able to follow complex instructions later on.

Thank you and good luck.

You are right Grace. I don't think a well respected organization like PICPA would allow somebody to ruin thier name.

this is a good idea. i think i will consider this

Mari,

You can even further retail this amount. Since you are having an Internet Cafe, you can hire working students to part time for you. That is called setting up a VA center.

I got this info from a "VRS" (Leo style, hehehe), from WFA, a group built on integrity.

Quote from: teng on May 13, 2008, 08:27:24 AM
thanks sir Macky. interested ko ani kay i am currently working in a BPO company and we serve clients in California too. I basically do some bookeeping job for our client. thanks for the info.

Teng,

Sulayi dayon ug contact kay last month pa raba ni gi post. Basin flooded na.

Further, I checked their contact details as the following:

Katherine Rivette   

Owner, Head VA
 
10606-8 Camino Ruiz #210 
San Diego, CA 92126 USA 

Phone:  858-866-9740 
FAx:   858-761-0301 

To send email, just follow this link: http://katriv.com/index.php?option=com_contact&Itemid=3

The following are the services offered to thier clients:
Virtual Assistance - Bookkeeping - Web Design - Graphic Design - In & Outbound Calls  - Email Marketing - Classified Ads Posting - Forums & BLOGS - Research - Data Entry & Mining - SEO - Tutorial - Template Creation (Word, Excel, Power Point) - Contact  Database Maintenance, Full Time VA - Half Time VA - Hourly VA - On Call VA

To give you a picture of the income, thier average charge to clients is $25 per hour. Let's say $10 goes to you and 15 goes to them. So, if you work full time 8 hours, you will earn $80 per day. In one month x 30, your income would be $2,400  . This is very much worth trying. So, kinsa to makatrabaho diha sa Pinas, kinahanglang mo donate sa Tubag Bohol Charity. Deal?

Hope this is real folks, pero ayaw ug isaba sa uban - Atty.

Thanks The Charlatan,

Can I know the basic package excluding excluding housing, food, transpo and recreation? Where is the job site?

One of my friends, a filipino and a CPA would probably qualify.

Excepts from WFA website:
Author: Katherine

I am based in San Diego, CA and always in need of good, reliable, honest, skilled virtual assistants - whether for myself or for my clients. If you know anyone interested to join my team of VAs -- or would like to set up your own VA center in the Philippines we can work together. Let's talk (-:

Requirements - Excellent English speaking/communication skills, Office applications, Internet savvy. Must own PC (minimum P4 with 2GB RAM, 20GB HDD for the business, cable Internet connection, MS Office). Those with programming skills - all the more welcome!

Folks, I checked the web site of this lady and she is offering a very attractive package      . The job is a sort of outsourcing office and design/graphic skills. Virtually, you work abroad, but physically, you are enjoying the beautiful Philippine sunshine.

Psst. Ayaw ug itug-an sa uban basin ma unhan ka - Atty.

Breakfast: 1 Pharmaton capsule (This is what I called "space-age diet")
Lunch : 1 fried beans sandwhich (Arabic term : Filafil) it looks like shawarma, wrapped in flat bread called 'kubus'.
Dinner : I still don't know, mo uli na ko karon, probably broccoli and lettuce with EVOO.

Mag Cadilac or "Lakad" sa binali ra ko karon para ma reduce ang tiyan.

One out of Ten filipinos are presently stationed or migrated abroad. They left with them thier families, relatives and friends which represents 60 - 70 percent of the population.

If we put one candidate to represent the OFW in the Senate or Congress, the chances of winning is a landslide.

The following is less serious but true:
"Kadtong dili mo suporta sa PPP, hala suwayi, hagit dili padalhan ug allotment ni Manong ug Manang nga nag trabaho sa abroad. Wala gyud mo madawat nga gasa ining bakasyon".

American Society is too pre-occupied with too many things and there is no focus. Media is too saturated with vanity, falsehood and things that does not contribute good to humanity. They thought time is too precious that sitting on top of the hill to ponder is a mortal sin.

New word discovered in Tubag Bohol:

Thanks Sir Rico,

Chocolate hills is in fact the climax of the tourism Adventure. There must be a focused theme on the package, where the Chocolate Hills is spotlighted as the final destination and the river cruise + beaches are just bonus attractions.

Tourists must have the same feeling of climbing at Mount Everest where the culmination is in its highest land mass.

How to do this? I suggest putting facilities at the site where tourists could stay/sleep overnight. Another is utilizing the night like Loboc boulevard by night. There must also be a “Chocolate hills by night”.

Private sector involvement will help materialize this concept. My idea of a hot-air balloon is one. Hope I could come up with something from my web solicitation (from hot air balloon clubs).

Regarding Chocolate hills voting, I made a campaign thread at an OFW site called Worldwide Filipino Alliance : http://worldwidefilipinoalliance.ning.com/

7 wonders campaign is already a great leverage and in itself an advertisement.

Naa bitaw among silingan sa una nga mangingisda, iyang ibaligya ang mga first class nga isda. Ang halin iyang ipalit ug ginamos ug bugas.

Looy gyud sa atoa kay survival of the fittest. Naa pod mamaligya ug bolinaw sa amo daghan ug side line nga bayabas. Ang kataw-anan kay mi hubot siya ug posporo unya gi dealan ko ug kaka (pang sabong nga spider), unya inig ka gabii kung dili pa mahalin ang iyang baligya, iyang pabayloan ug numero sa masyao

Actually this pictures were taken by my younger brother during his vacation last month.

He said it was utilized during the mother Theresa relic visit in Dauis Church.

I like the open-air concept.

Naa man ni trapal nga hipos-hipos kung mag ulan.

Romantic ni kaayo kung gabii unya mag siga na kanang mga hangging lights.

Kulang na lang naay mo duol nimo nga mag violin.

Chocolate hills was discovered by an American fighter plane pilot during world war II, which gives me obsession how it looks up there (bird's eyeview).

I am eyeing on hot-air baloon clubs on the net and try asking charity. Maybe they could spare for us/donate some un-used ones. If this happens, we will paint the hot-air baloon with "Tubag Bohol".

I asked Ginger the cost of the para-gliding equipment as I am planning to buy one and replicate it's components locally. She said it is outrageously too expensive. Anyhow, I will try to ask our Chinese suppliers in Guangzhou if they are producing.

If it is a halloween or a stage play, yes I agree. Looks like Pirates of the Carrebean costume.

GEC,

Murag naa may imong buot ipasabot aning radiant

In principle, this is child exploitation. Because it is using other people to promote self interest. Children are little people who can not decide for themselves, thats why grown ups must guide them by showing example. In the eyes of children, parents are thier mirror.

We are just talking here about principle, but above Ad is causing no harm.

I even find myself silly, making comment on this small issue.

Precy,

I am planning to put a para-gliding rental business in Chocolate hills someday. Or a stationary hot air baloon. This is more dangerous than the leaps.

Bambs,

Sa Dauis bitaw ni atbang sa Tagbilaran.

Last Friday, nag kilaw mi ug tangigi, nag sugba ug indangan ug nag sabaw ug halaan. Barato ra dire ang isda ug mao pa pag diskarga. Ang mga tao dire dili man kaayo mangaon ug isda, mao nga mga pinoy ra ang mo daug-daug sa isda.

Among kauban mga taga Loon nga mekaniko. Mga apilido ug Zuasola, Pizaras, Labonite, Libadisos, Garate ug Pastor. Basta gahi pa sa nilugaw ang mga sinultihan.

Hahaha makatawa jud ko anang imong Pooh.

A smart business idea to save trees. This is cool and ki-at.

Karon pa ko kamatikod anang imong avatar Kiams. Nganong wala may dunggan imong Winnie the Pooh?

We Filipinos are smart. When I was in Mindanao, one of our farmers explained to me the mechanics of high-tech farming and he is speaking deep English technical terms. I thought he was an agriculture graduate. When we were drunk, I was astonished that he admitted he was only a grade four graduate.

This is a good evidence that conspirators have succeeded in dumbing down of America. Soon they will controll thier minds like robots.

Rald Kumusta na. Murag naka ila akong misis nimo. Di ba anak ka ni Nang Lilly nagpuyo sa Tondo?

Balik ta sa atong topic: If the investor is a Private Chinese National I don't mind if they own hundreds of business in Bohol and I warmly welcome them. I have lots of Chinese friends/business partners and suppliers dealing in our company every day and they are confessing thier frustrations from thier own Government.

This ambassador was sent by the militatistic Peoples Republic of China (PRC) sponsored enterprise, which would be difficult for me to swallow. Chinese Government is doing unethical business practices to their own people and unless they change thier policies, it is only sane to be skeptical.

Once again I say "We have enough Chinese Government Infestation in our own Spratly's Islands". Filipino Fishermen were being arrested by Chinese Military in our own land/territory. They can not hide the truth by wearing a smiling face. Unless this issue is resolved in a diplomatic table, we should not smile at them.

Uso na pod karon ang pangaligo sa dagat. Ang bawn linung-ag nga saging ug mga hinilisan si himong chinese humba or gipa burot nga sitsaron, parisan ug ginamos.

Mag sea foods na pod ta kay puol na ang karne, maka high blood. Inig ka busog, mo humol dayon sa dagat aron murag sapnayon sa tubig ang nag bitay nga tiyan.

OK ra man ug na evolved na ug gamay ang ilang lihok ug medyo professional na. Dili na murag robot ug duna na silay confidence.

Maayo man pod ang setting sa ilang shoot out kay walay unrully crowd.

Akong gipatalinghogan ug maayo ang gi ingon sa narrator. Akong na dunggan nga na mention niya ang Ambasador sa China. Unsa man diay ang naitampo sa Gobierno sa China nga murag dako man kaayo ang ilang pasalamat?

Mo sugot ba diay ang intsik ug walay bayad. Sa akong pag tuo, naay nagpaluyo ani nga mga tumong ug tinguha ang gobierno sa China.

Ang delikado kung ang Gobierno sa China may hidden agenda, bayad niining ilang gipakitang kaayo. Once again let me say this phase "If China is doing unethical business practices to it's own people, why should I trust them?".

Sa ako nang gikasulti, I am not against the Chinese Individual and I do not mind if it is a Chinese "Private Investor" who vies for a business venture, but I can not tolerate Bohol to be expoited by a Chinese government (PRC) sponsored enterprise.

We have enough of a People's Republic of China (PRC) "infestation" of the Spratly's Islands.

Thanks GEC & Mike,

What I mean is I am just preaching to my kids what I believed and it is up to them to choose freely what is right for them.

Bitaw, such event builds self confidence/ self esteem to our youth, our future leaders/ future builders of our country.

Some say beauty pageants are not important and a waste of time, but for me, they are wrong. This is one way of teaching our young generation how to handle competition, assert themselves in a limited opportunity using their best potentials & God given talent. A training to work their way to the top and experience triumphs of a champion, as well as teach them how to graciously accept defeat.

This is their window to the real world, a world with no free meals.

All the candidates, winners or losers are sure winners in real life and walk down the stage with heads up high as they have already the advantage, the X factor.

Congratulations Kuya Jun.

Dili manko kamao maghimo ug letter for recomendation oi

Happy,

You may write one pharagraph. The length of your letter does not matter, the important is it comes from your heart.

Email your letter to the following:

- Labor Attache, Atty. David Des Dicang :           daviddesdicang@yahoo.com
- The Award Secretariat, Commission on Filipino Overseas:        info@cfo.com.bh

Below recommendation letters are just your guide:

Hi Lumine and others,

Jun Ayag is once again a nominee for Presidential Awards for Outstanding OFW.

Let us support him. This is the link: http://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=12456.0

Quote from: LanggamTamsi2 on May 08, 2008, 07:50:27 PM
Congratulation mr jun ayag, you made us very proud bol-anon.

Well done mr ayag.

Ma'am Tamz, the battle has just begun. The secretariat for this event has yet to choose one among the many candidates.

Let us support Jun Ayag by writing a short request or recommendation to daviddesdicang@yahoo.com and to the secretariat of this event: info@cfo.com.bh

Let us support Jun Ayag like we support the Chocolate Hills.

He is now our chocolate hills.

My fellow Boholanos,

I am proud to announce that Jun Ayag is for the second time a nominee of the Global search for "Most Outstanding Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) for Individual and Organizations”. Last week his nomination was endorsed by no other than the Labor Attache Atty. David Des Dicang to be one of the contenders in this prestigious search.

The criteria for his nomination were based upon his endeavor as major proponent and contributor of the Re-integration of OFWs. As OFW, we will eventually settle to our home country when our services are no longer required by our host country. Jun is one of the few individuals who are concerned of the plight an OFW faces when he/she is not prepared to face such event. So, Jun conducted lectures and seminars promoting livelihood programs to various organizations in Saudi Arabia. He is also the vice chairman of a Boholano group BOWACCC who is promoting the same cause, to save your earnings for a rainy day.

Now, Jun’s time is in demand by various Filipino organizations in Saudi Arabia and Jun’s “livelihood/re-integration lecture” is always an important part of every Filipino functions.

Personally, I have known Jun through his help when I was jobless in a foreign country. He employed me in Speedcash Saudi-American Bank as a part time employee while I am searching for a permanent job.

I am not a good writer and just an ordinary individual. However, I believe the simplicity of my words gives a profound understanding of Jun’s true character. As a high caliber person, Jun does not classify his friends based on their background, education and level in society. He does not mind spending his personal time to lend a helping hand within his capacity, if it is for the general welfare of his countrymen.

Let us support our Boholano brother, Mr. Dioscoro Orias Ayag Jr. to win in this prestigious search and give him the title he most deserves by writing and sending your testimonials/ recommendations to:

Labor Attache, Atty. David Des Dicang : daviddesdicang@yahoo.com

and to

The Award Secretariat, Commission on Filipino Overseas: info@cfo.com.bh

Be proud of the Boholano, support Mr. Dioscoro Orias Ayag Jr.

Moreover, dako kaayo ang akong ikasaway sa atong mga Diplomats nga nag trabaho sa atong Philippine Embassy.

Walay himoon kon di mag sigi lang ug attend ug mga party. Salig ra ug ilang i-promote ang Philippine products para matabangan nila ang mga local exporters sa Pilipinas unya mo unlad ang atong economiya.

Ang akong trabaho dire sa Saudi Arabia naa sa Purchasing. Halos kada adlaw makadawat ko ug fax & email gikan sa China Embassy, Korean Embassy ug Japanese Embassy nga nag update sa mga new products and brands sa ilang country. Ila gyud nga gi gastohan ug panahon para ma promote nila ang ilang brands.

Sa Pilipinas, nakipag deplomatic ties ta sa China para ma exploit ang atong resources or para baligyaan ta sa ilang product. Dili kita ang nang exploit or nangbaligya sa atong products. Mao nga pordoy ta nga mga pinoy kay puro palit, puro gawas ang atong kwarta, walay mo sulod sa atong bursa.

Simple lang kaayo ni nga logic, kung na tao pa ang Pilipinas, gastador ta nga tao. Himalit ta kaayo bisan walay abot. Puro lang ta palit, walay baligya. Puro lang ta import, walay export.

Kining China, mi visita sa Bohol for what purpose? They did not come just for a personal holiday, but they came for a mission. Dayag na lang nga naa silay buot kab-oton nga mga tinguha, ug kana para sa kauswagan sa ilang nasod.

I hope that these Chinese visitors are ethical in their intentions and would propose a win-win partnership with Bohol and not to exploit.

As I repeatedly stressed here in Tubag Bohol, I am skeptical with the Chinese and uncomfortable doing business partnership with them. My only reason is the present Chinese government is wearing a bad reputation of doing unethical business practices to thier own people. Kung nakahimo sila ug ingon sa ilang kaugalingon nga mga citizens, walay reason nga dili nila kini himoon sa ubang nasod. We can not trust a wolf in sheep's skin.

Hope you understand my point folks.

Ms. Belle,

This gives me an idea. Why won't we compose a theme song for Tubagbohol. It will be our anthem.

Let me come up with one.

Maybe somebody will write the lyrics and another will write the melody.

Let's try.

I say I Love you Mike.

I Love my Brothers and Sisters in Tubag Bohol.

However, this does not mean I am living my last hours. Simbako tawn.

Unsay imong trabaho diha sa China? Naa ko daghang kaila diha nga mga supplier namo dire sa Saudi Arabia.

OK ra man ug quality ang China unya mas barato pa. Sa akong gina ingon, practical ang ilang products kay dili man ka kinahanglan mo palit ug lig-on kaayo unya after six months obsolete na. So mo palit ka ug igo-igo ra ang quality unya inig ka obsolete imo nang i-recycle.

"The Itsy Bitsy Spider"

   
The itsy, bitsy spider, climbed up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,

So the itsy, bitsy spider went up the spout again



Spidy wants some Kentucky fried Chicken!

Cute imong spider Belle.

Intellegent raba ni nga klase nga spider. Naa siya attitude & personality. Dili ni siya mag gama ug balay. Ambush technique ang iyang style pag dakop sa iyang prey.

Naa ko binuhi ani sa una.

Hi Pressy,

It seems the owner of the video Nestor has edited or deleted his video to replace with a new one. Below is Nestor's re-posted video 8 hours ago. Tubag Bohol was the 1st viewer of his reposted video.

Disa diay ga dako si PGMA nga kamao man ug Bisaya?

We are on the 9th Rank as of 2 May 2008.

Naa ba kaha under the table nga mi balik man ang Chocolate hills?

Just a question.

dli ba National ang mo atiman sa maintenance ani? dli ka afford ang Bohol, Macky?

Maintenance of local Airports take their budgets from the Province.

Unless the system is changed to Federal (like in the USA), Bohol can not afford to maintain an International Airport at present scenario. Probably after 10 years of running the industry with 10 folds the influx, we may be able to have a profitable airport.

In a Federal system, we take the budget from Central Visayas State Treasury, which is contributed by Bohol, Cebu, Negros, Leyte and other CV islands.

Correct ka Bai GEC, its not confined to one race. The Chan Brothers are Philantropist have noble intension and deeds. In fact these friendship is his initiative by promoting Bohol as Chinese tourist destination.

In our Boholano blood run Datu Puti bloodline, whose mother is Chinese that why hes name is Datu Puti (white skinned). I happened to know this fact when I was one of the convenor IP( Indigenous People) in 2003 meeting under the office of the Speaker.

Datu Puti is married to a Eskaya Boholana Princess. That why we have a connection in Butuan. Most of us has relatives in Butuan.

I live in China for 5 years, there cultural achievement is much greater than what I expect. We don't study Chinese culture in school because of Communism. Its our democratic form of Government that prohibit us in studying Chinese Cultures.

Welcome diay Rald sa Tubag Bohol. Taga asa diay ka? Ig unsa mo ni Brenda, Lily ug Lisa taga Guindulman. Akong misis ilang ig-agaw.

Bitaw, it is not good to stereotype chinese as fraud businessmen. Like we are stereotyping Japanese as nerds with huge overbite, holding a camera. It is the individual and personal background that matters. Infact, our culture is more influenced by the Chinese than any other cultures. The Kingdom of Butuan has established deplomatic ties with the emperor of China during the 14th Century and an ambasador travels frequently to exchange communication.

What I am stressing here is the unethical treatment of the present Chinese regime to its own people. Hope you understand folks.

Hopefully our Chinese brothers will engage in fair and honest business.

Like my Lolo Mariano; he was an honest and fair Chinese businessman.

My great grandfather is Chinese who migrated from the island of Macau and settled in Tagbilaran. My mother called him Uyong instead of Lolo. According to my mother, he escaped from a communist regime. He was a good cook, but not a businessman.

His family name of "Sy" died out because he have all daughters. I hope someday to trace my roots back in Macau.

I am honored to belong and have experienced life among such cast.

Kung matuman kini nga system, dili na makabuot ang Department of Energy sa pag grant ug right sa Otto Enery for drilling our oil. Kita na ang mag drill ani ug ang kita para lang sa Central Visayas. We will have more sense of ownership sa atong resources. The National Govt. did not respect our appeal during testing. Now, the ball is in our court.

I am thingking that we should renew the lease contract of Pilippine Sinter by Japanese Contractor. The contract is outrageously 100 years. In contrast, I have not seen any economic progress to the town of Garcia Hernandez.

Any pictures of Piryahan sa Grand Stand or Stage play sa Agora?

I remembered when I was a kid, we collected plastic, alluminum and empty bottles to be sold at a recycling store "Lirios Enterprise". We called it in local terms "Manalbid". When we got the proceeds of our collected things, we happened to pass by the "Piryahan". It makes me laugh thingking that our efforts for a week of collecting garbage is gone in less than half an hour of gambling and games. We came home that day empty handed and with a sad face.

Nag baktas pa gyud mi unya among gi dayungan. Pag tabok namo atbang sa Bohol-hi (we pronounce it as Bol Hi), na alanganin ko mao nga akong gi buhian ug nagkabuagsa ang mga lata ug botelya ug gipanan-aw mi sa mga istudyante. Basta uwaw kaayo, imbis among gi tago-tagoan.

Scott, anytime you come to Tagbilaran, just visit our house beside cocacola.

Really, this proposed Federal system changed my views/perception regarding Panglao Airport. A united Central Visayas is complete in itself. Combining each provinces unique resources is like mixing the finest ingredients to make a successful economy.

However, without a Federal system, I am personally against constructing an international Airport in Panglao as it just not make any economic sense. Everytime I heard the story, I feel listening to the song "Killing me Softly" because it's maintenance will just a drain Bohol's financial funds.

OT: Scott, asa ka karon? Naa ka sa Tagbilaran. Adto sa among balay kay nag Fiesta mi. Bisan ugma way problema. Dia ko sa Saudi pero naa among balay kilid sa Cocacola. Ginagmay lang ang andam, naa akong parents didto. Namunga na kuno ang among Mangga ug Chiccos. Pangayo lang.

Back to the topic: Really, Central Visayas has the lowest rate of unemployment compared to Northern Luzon. Compared to Luzon and Mindanao, we have controllable crime rate, higher percentage of literacy, fewer problems on urban poor (squatters). On average basis, we have healthier, smarter, financially fit citizens compared to other areas of the Phils.

On the brighter side, our electricity will dramatically go down because our state holds vast resources like the geothermal plant in Leyte and in Bohol alone we have hydro-electrict. Presently, Leyte's Electricity rate is the same as in Metro Manila, despite of their geothermal power plant. In principle, Leyte is paying the losses of Metro Manila due to its over use of electricity and inavailability of resources.

Federal system would exclude our Treasury and Budget system solely for Central Visayas. We will be functioning as an independent Economy.

With these Federal system, the Airport in Panglao would make a good sense. Bohol will not be over-burdenend with it's maintainance as Cebu, Negros, Leyte, etc. would contribute as one State.

Central Visayas State would be a strong state with the following:
1. Bohol - Tourism and Agriculture
2. Cebu - Industrial / Commercial
3. Leyte - Geothermal Powerplant (Energy). Also wind energy from the Pacific could be harvested.
4. Negros - Education (Home of Siliman University), Agriculture
5. Other smaller Provinces could also be developed for Tourism.
6. Small Islands - Tourism, Fish Farming, Seaweed farming, prawn farming, etc.

All these are great contributing factor that could make Central Visayas State an Economic Tiger.

Thanks Ginger for posting this topic.

Ginger root is a natural anti-inflamatory.

I also remembered one article that during the wild west, Ketchup was once a medicine sold in pharmacies.

I too am determined to live more than 100 years, the natural way. My pharmacy is the vegetable market.

Let's talk natural remedies.

This is not invasion. However, there is potential danger whenever a single person does business without competition, which is called "monopoly". The one who controls a monopoly usually dictates the price.

We don't want to become like the tea planters of India where all inhabitants of one province became labors & tea harvesters with a single company controlling them. This is just one example of Monopoly.

The Chinese should come to Bohol with good intentions and do business fairly, allowing both parties to enjoy equal opportunities and working on a win-win proposition.

It's not wrong to be skeptical as Chinese holds a bad reputation on such issues. The worst fact is they are doing it to thier own people.

Nong Bene thank you so much for your long email. I get excited just by reading your businesses and big location changes about your family. Yes, I have heard that the Holy Name elementary has become one of the best now, I have a feeling that's because of the Principal Mr.Marcojos who was one of the finest teacher in Holy Spirit for a very long time. He and his wife are the best. And my batch was very lucky that we were their students before they transferred to Holy Name. So your children are in good hands as far as school is concern. How amazing would that be when they become multilingual speaking kids, you must be very proud.


I'll PM you more about your gluta business...

Mr. Marcojos is now the principal of HNU? First time I've heard.

Mr. Pedro Marcojos and his wife former Ms. Bugash are the best teachers I've known. Both of them are focused, straight forward desciplinarians and won't accept sub-standard.

Mr. Marcojos was our social studies/history and scouting teacher and his wife is our science teacher from grade 5 - 6. Their way of teaching is very interactive. They encourage students to explore thier creativity.

I mean example of me when I was once a victim of extortion.

Sometimes, the world is such a hostile place. Your good deeds could be reversed to ruin your image. The media is one who possess such power and mostly they are aiming the upper crust of society.

Sorry to hear about it Pressy.

Your wish is my command, Macky. I will now start a thread for the bidding of my 1972 Philippine coin. May my deceased lola forgive me.

I am sure your Lola would be proud of you for it is devoted to a noble cause. By doing so, you had given your late Lola a space to be part of this noble cause.

During my youth, my father had a collection of old coins. Out of short sightedness and irresponsibility, I sold that coins.

Now, you have given me a chance to give it back to my parents and undo my childhood mistakes.

Balong someday somehow a party of TUBAG BOHOL will rise kay sigurado ako nga daghan diri sa TB nga adunay mga talagsaong leadership nga gihuptan ug andam mosilbi sa atong mga kaigsoonan nga nagninahanglan ingon man sa atong yutang natawhan.

Lindy, Mike, Balong, lets join Worldwide Filipino Alliance with its political party PPP or Partido nang Pangdaigdigang Pilipino. I and Dong Bonite are one of it's members. Probably Delaguna and Jun Ayag would join shortly. The aim is to build a political party represented by OFW's and OF's and put up 2-3 a representatives in the Senate. International set-up is going on. US and Europe is already organized. Middle East and Asia is on the way.

Should we become members, we can run under this Party to represent as political leaders or candidates in our own Bohol, the slot is still wide open.

To join, just click: http://worldwidefilipinoalliance.ning.com all can join.

Let's make a difference.

Quote from: Lorenzo on April 30, 2008, 02:02:03 AM

It is so unfortunate that this so called industrialization is happening. In the United States there are rising 'underground physicians' namely these are Gynecologists who also specialize in the trade of abortion. In fact, that specialty alone is so profitable that many Gynecologists specialize in that aspect instead of traditional Gynecology. It is the business of killing babies, and where I go to college at, there is a known Gynecologist in town that engages in this 'trade'. It sickens my stomach to even know about it.

There are two kinds of physicians-surgeons. The one that enters the field for the sole interest in treating patients, in saving lives and monetary reasons are merely secondary.

The other is the one that enters the field for purely monetary reasons. It matters not if their interaction with patients is adequate or not. These kinds of physicians-surgeons end up hating the profession and become rather lousy in their endeavors. And it is their patient who pays for it; figuratively and literally.

I don't know the economic and health care-cost conditions over there in the Philippines, but here in the United States, health care costs are rising. With the insurance agencies taking advantage of the physician, he or she is forced to admit more patients in order to accumulate enough earnings. So there is always an economic reason for things. Even so, there always needs to be a reminder for physicians of their professional oaths. You know, the handling and caring of life isn't like selling food here and there. Life can end. You can always buy more food, grow more food. When one's health is jeopardized, there is no assurance that it can always be 'regrown'. I can only hope that our physicians wake up.

With hard work, the fruits of your labor will be rewarded.

My condolences to the individual's family. You have my prayers.

Hence, I urge you Lorenz to pursue your intention of joining Médecins Sans Frontières or Doctors without borders, a noble non-profit organization of international doctors.
