Ug ikaw napalit ug P50.00 mosugot kaha ka nga kuhaan ug picture? That's part of our dirty politics. 

Unsay nahitabo nga naay may nag posts nga  dili ako. Basin giabat ko diri sa internet.

I entered my precinct 9:30 and get  a priority number. At 10:20, I entered again and cast  my vote. Finally, I get out from the precinct at 10:25. It takes  5 minutes in voting .In our precinct, I observed that the  BEI members were  systematic in the way they managed the First Automated Election. It takes time for some voters to shade especially older folks with poor eye sight. This is one of the cause of slow turn out.

Hoping we can improve better next time. 

Daghanang kwarta karon.., lupig pay Pasko ang election sa Pinas.

Dili vote buying ning pagpanghatag ug P20.00 basta dumadaog ka. This is Advance pasalamat.

Boto Mo, I-Patrol Mo: Ako ang Simula, ABS-CBN's election awareness campaign, in cooperation with Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation held a free for all registration to be citizen patrollers for the upcoming 2010 elections. The registration site was situated at the Manila Bulletin's main office in Intramuros, Manila Wednesday. The event featured Mr. Leo Lim, Comelec's information officer for the Education and Information Department, educating the students and guests about the automated elections in May 2010.

Automated election how-to's:

   1. Bring your voter's id or any identification together with your registration stub. Upon arriving at your   precinct, check your name on the voters list and secure a ballot from the Board of Election Inspector (BEI), they are there to assist you.
   2. When the ballot is received, make sure that it is unmarked. Unlike previous elections, the ballots for the automated elections only need to be shaded. Shade your votes properly.
   3. After completing your vote, feed the ballot to the Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS). The machine will validate your ballot and you will receive a confirmation message on the machines' screen. Your vote has been casted.


Tips and reminders:

    * Secure a list of your votes or a kodigo. This makes it easier for you to cast your votes and to avoid mistakes. Always remember that you are only entitled to one ballot.
    * "Touch move." Be careful in shading the ovals next to the candidates' names. The machine will reject any item that is not shaded properly or filled out with anything aside from a shade.
    * Over voting is strictly not allowed. Voting for two candidates in a position that only requires one vote is not allowed. The machine would reject that item and would move on to counting the next item.

Pinakataas gyud ni sa Bohol nga uwan uwan..., diha sa Loay. Ka grabe...., uy. Adto ta magparehistgro para sa sunod  nga election.

Kay way kaso nga gipasaka ug way verdict, sama ra sa way nahitabo.

Pero, sa akong observation..., it's a miracle kon modaog si Ceasar against the Trapos.

boholthruth....., tinuod ba ni...,? nganong karon pa man ni gibulgar?

Tinuod nga naa gyud ang pinalitay sa boto sa Bohol. First vote ko niadtong 1965, Marcos- Macapagal ang laban pagka president. Anang gabii, pagkaugma ang election, gihatagan me ug tag P1.00 (one peso ) kada votante sa among balay gikan sa Nacionalista party.

Kon nahibal-an ka nga nakadawat sa pikas ang party, dili na ka nila hatagan. Dili pwede nga
modawat ka pikas pikas. Honest to goodness ang mga voters bahin vote buying. Dili pareha karon nga pwede ug duhang nawong. 

Karon diay P300 to P500 ...., ang uwan uwan.

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

By Chito A. Fuentes
Philippine Daily Inquirer

CORELLA, BOHOL, Philippinesâ€"Three’s company for the Buagas triplets who turned 82 this year.

Known as the three Mariasâ€"Maria Magdalena, Maria Cleofe and Maria Salomeâ€"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 lonelyâ€"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.

Pwete nang sabaa ang karsada sa mga jingles... , kutob unya na lang sila sa alas  dose sa gabii.

HON.VITO BELTRAN RAPAL
Mayor of Corella, Bohol
    2001-2010


HURDLING CHALLENGES IS HIS WAY OF LIFE

Leadership takes multifarious forms and is approached in varied dimensions depending upon the orientation and perceptual field of the leader. There are those who are autocratic and dictatorial and don’t succumb to the idiosyncrasies of others. There are those who adhere to the democratic tenets and let the will of the majority prevail. The paternalistic acts like a father patting the shoulder of a child while catering to his whims. The believer of the laissez faire style let governance be unfettered and uncontrolled. All these have their own advantages and disadvantages; and they are effective depending upon some parameters. Some leaders cannot be confined to one particular style. But everything else considered, the most effective is the leader who makes things happen, not just sit in a corner and wait for things to shape up. One such leader is Mayor Vito Beltran Rapal of Corella. He loves challenges.

Right from his birth in Sinacaban, Misamis Occidental on February 12, 1960, Vito’s life has always been a big challenge. His parents, Andres Rapal and Esperanza Beltran, were poor. Even in childhood he was aware of their poverty, compared to the others around, most specifically those born with the proverbial silver spoon on their mouth and golden platters on their table. He was a mute witness to how his parents labored to make both ends meet. At an early age, he was already convinced that he has to work doubly harder than the rest, if her were to realize his dreams. This boyhood awakening was an indoctrinization to life’s realities that was to serve as a driving force for his personal quest and upliftment. It was also his link to the masses as he was one of them. This upbringing became a solid foundation when, later in life, he realized he is happiest fighting for a cause, taking challenges, while serving others.

Vito first studied at the Libertad Alto Elementary School in Sinacaban. For his secondary education, he started to fend for his upkeep. Knowing that his parents were incapable of giving him the necessary support for his educational pursuit, he decided to venture on his own. He became a working student, doing some chores at the St. Joseph Parish Church while taking high school subjects. This sacrifice paid off. He graduated a responsible man in 1977. Equipped with a sense of adventurism and determination he packed his bags and went to Cebu City. At nineteen years of age he was employed at the Birdsman Enterprises, an exporter of Bohol products.

Vito decided to pack his bags once more and went to Musuan, Bukidnon and enrolled at the Central Mindanao University, still working his way through college. He finished Bachelor of Science in Education in 1983.

The fresh graduate first worked as a classroom teacher in the Lorenzo Tan Barangay High School in Tangub City. He immensely enjoyed his new responsibility and would have stayed there considering the opportunities for promotion. But this time, something irresistible beckoned. In his brief working stint in Cebu, he met and fell in love with a lovely department manager of Birdsman Enterprises, Flora Yap Caliao, who is a Boholana from Corella. The years and the distance parting them did not severe the ties, instead their affection for each other blossomed. They decided to tie the knot in 1985.

This decision was the turning point of his life. They decided to settle down in Corella, and ventured into entrepreneurship, as suppliers of native products. While the business prospered he went back to teaching. He was first assigned in a far-flung Canhayupan Barangay High School in Dimiao. It was another challenge as he had to be away from home most of the week.

In 1986 he was appointed Barangay Captain of Canangcaan, this was right after the EDSA People Power revolt. It was a new challenge for him, which he handled the best way he can. This was his introduction to politics.

It was in 1987 when he was transferred to Corella High School; it was a welcome change as he always wanted to be with his family. Until he saw the immediate needs of the school, which lacked rooms and other facilities. From his fellow teachers came the requests and pleas which fell on deaf ears. This was the situation he himself was a witness for five long years. Complacency would have been a recourse, because there was nothing one can do about it. But not for Mr. Vito Rapal. He had to do something to assuage the situation. He did an unexpected move those with lesser resolve would not have done. He resigned from his teaching position and ran as Vice Mayor of Corella. Being a neophyte and lacking financial backing, he did not make it. In 1994 he was elected Punong Barangay of Canangcaan, and later ABS President, paving his membership to the Sangguniang Bayan.

Corella High School was founded by Atty. Epifanio Bolando when he was the Mayor of the town. This saved hundreds of students from travelling to Tagbilaran City and other neighboring municipalities with secondary schools. As a teacher Vito Rapal felt the need to develop the school for the sake of the students and their future. In an audience with the then administration he was taken aback when upon insisting on the school’s pleas he was bluntly told, “...nganong ikaw man ang magbuot?...” And he was challenged to run as Mayor. It was a challenge he took hook-line-and-sinker.

Beforehand he had to weigh and place everything in its proper perspective. His wife is a relative the then dispensation. He knew the hazards, including the expenses, and ruffled feelings. On the other hand were the many who inspired him to go on with his pursuits for the good of Corella. He was an outsider who was trying to knock his head on a thick concrete wall of administrative influence. But his cause was noble. The people of his hometown can always make their own decision. They decided on his favor, not by a landslide margin, but he won.

Mr. and Mrs. Vito Rapal have two children. The oldest is Homer, 20 years old and a BSMT student of PMI-Bohol. He passed the recent PNP examinations and may decide to be a policeman. Hubert is 13 and is enrolled at Holy Name University High School Department. Like any doting father he wishes his children to succeed in their studies first. He cannot forget that his pursuit for education was a big sacrifice, and he knows the importance of education in opening up the minds, especially the young, to noble service.

Corella High School is now computerized and has more classrooms and other facilities. He has built the Municipal Public Market. His Barangay Road Network is on-going. Negotiation have already been finalized with BWUI for Corella to collect P25 per cubic meter for the water it has sourced for Tagbilaran City. This is retroactive January 13, 2003, at P200, 000 a month. A good source of income for a town that is developing.

When he first sat down as Mayor he did not feel much comfort, for he was treading on an alien territory, with majority of the Sangguiniang Bayan members and even the Mayor’s Staff being adherents of the previous administration. But he took things in stride and still is beset with the same problems at the Sangguniang Bayan. What is important is he is trying to do his job the best way he could. A municipal employee told this writer: “Sa una magpanagana mi kay bag-o pa man siya. Karon among nakita unsa siya ka matinud-anon sa iyang trabaho. Busa miduyog na ‘mi niya.”

Mayor Rapal has big plans for Corella. He finished the renovation of the Municipal Building. On-going is the construction of the Public Market, that was burned months ago, whose funding he has to ask from higher officials of the Province. Another project is the concreting and widening of Municipal and Barangay roads. One big project he dreams of is the acquisition of heavy equipment for the maintenance of roads. As a teacher he won’t stop finding means to improve the schools of the town.

When he ran as Mayor the skeptics saw in him a David fighting his Goliath. This initial success has not gone to his head. Deep inside he considers himself as an ordinary laborer. He wakes up at four in the morning, just what he used to when he was a working student. Asked whether he will seek a second term as Mayor, especially now that he has his own bigger following and the chances of winning is sky-high, he just smiled and said that if it is the will of the people, he will continue serving them. After all, hurdling all the kinds of challenges is his way of life.

Philippines Election to Go Ahead as Planned, Commission Says
May 05, 2010, 1:39 AM EDT

By Francisco Alcuaz Jr. and Clarissa Batino

May 5 (Bloomberg) -- The Philippines will vote for a new president as planned on May 10, Commission on Elections Commissioner Gregorio Larrazabal said, rejecting suggestions problems with the electronic ballot machines would cause a delay.

“Postponement is not an option,” Larrazabal said in a televised briefing in Manila today. “That’s not on the table.”

Stocks had their biggest drop in 11 months and bonds and the peso also fell after it was found that software in the vote- tallying programs was flawed and that thousands of chips needed to be replaced. While the Commission on Elections yesterday said it would be able to repair the faults in time, the National Movement for Free Elections, a poll-watching organization, and political analysts said it may be impossible.

“Investors are trimming their holdings and will be on the sidelines in the next couple of weeks” because of the uncertainty, said Lito Mercado, head of trading at Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. in Manila. “Whoever wins, the loser will think he has enough reason to protest.”

The nation is holding its first computerized elections to reduce cheating that occurred in tallying ballots by hand that took weeks. Namfrel and other groups have been warning that delayed delivery and inadequate testing of the machines raised the risk they will fail or produce erroneous results.

Commission on Elections Commissioner Gregorio Larrazabal said in a televised briefing today the country “will have elections on May 10” as scheduled.

Senator Benigno Aquino, who leads in the polls, last week said his supporters would take to the streets if “the people’s will is frustrated.”

Bond Yield

The yield on the 6.5 percent dollar-denominated bonds due January 2020 jumped 13 basis points to 5.411, the biggest rise in yields since Feb. 5 at 12:59 p.m. according to prices from ING Groep NV.

The cost of protecting Philippine bonds from default rose 14 basis points today to 182.5 points, the highest since March 30, according to prices from HSBC Holdings Plc.

The Philippine Stock Index had its biggest drop in more than nine months. The benchmark was down 3.5 percent at 3,176.85 at the 1 p.m. close in Manila.

The peso fell as much as 0.9 percent to 45.035 against the U.S. dollar, its weakest since April 5. .

“The whole automated process is already compromised,” said Bobby Tuazon, director of the Center for People Empowerment in Governance in Manila. “Many flash cards may not reach their destinations. Many areas will have to go manual again. More things will happen in the days leading up to the election.”

‘Hopeful’

President Gloria Arroyo’s spokesman Gary Olivar said the government is hopeful “technical issues will be resolved.” Agence France Presse earlier reported him as saying the elections may have to be delayed.

“Postponing elections never crossed our mind,” presidential adviser for political affairs Prospero Pichay said in a televised briefing today in Manila. “The palace, the executive body, is not entertaining the thought.”

Romulo Macalintal, an election lawyer who has worked for President Arroyo, said he has suggested a 15-day delay to the Commission on Elections. He clarified he wasn’t speaking for Arroyo.

“To ensure a clean, honest political exercise, there’s a need for the commission to see that everything is fixed,” he said in an interview on ABS-CBN News Channel.

On May 6, 2010, In Arroyo admin, Automated Election, COMELEC, Failure of Elections, in the News

Palace backpedals on option to postpone poll
By RG Cruz
ABS-CBN News

MANILA, Philippines â€" A spokesman of President Arroyo on Wednesday backpedaled on his earlier statement expressing support for a delay in the automated elections on Monday over glitches in preparations.

Deputy presidential spokesman Gary Olivar earlier told Agence France-Presse that the May 10 elections may need to be delayed because of technical problems with vote counting machines.

“I would imagine that the success of the automation… is more important than the timing. Nobody benefits from a foul up… if technical issues require more time and require us to delay, that is not an unreasonable judgment to make,” Olivar told AFP.

Olivar’s statements, coupled with the proposal of President Arroyo’s election lawyer to postpone the election for 15 days, was promptly rejected by the Commission on Elections who assured the public that the automated poll will push through next Monday.

During the daily afternoon briefing with Palace media, Olivar softened his stance and said Malacañang will defer to the Comelec’s decision on the matter.

“This started as a position of the President’s election lawyer, but ang posisyon ng palasyo is to defer to the Comelec. Even lawyers and IT experts seem to have different points of view on whether we can postpone or as a technical matter,” he told reporters.

He also said Arroyo’s election lawyer Romulo Macalintal was speaking for himself and not his client when he proposed that elections be postponed for 15 days.

“I’m not aware (na) nagpakita ng negative reaction si Pangulo…Macalintal’s comment is his statement as a lawyer. He has other clients. I don’t think he intended to speak for the president,” he said.

Presidential adviser on political affairs Prospero Pichay Jr. said the administration never wanted a delay or cancellation of the elections set on Monday.

“We haven’t really thought of postponing elections. It never crossed our mind that’s the stand of Malacañang. May election code. We are not entertaining thoughts of postponing the election. We’re anticipating elections will happen Monday,” he said.

He added: “We have to give Comelec a chance.”

Pichay and Olivar welcomed news that the Comelec has finally decided that elections will push through as scheduled on Monday.

Olivar also urged some groups to stop spreading talk about an alleged plot by President Arroyo to stay in power through the sabotage of elections.

Progressive partylist Anakpawis on Wednesday said all sectors and groups must unite to stop RAFAEL (Retain Arroyo through Failure of Elections) and NOEL (No Elections) scenarios being pushed by Malacañang.

“Sana tanggalin political noise at bangayan. Rafael â€" this is political. Noise na tingin namin muli na naman sinasangkot Pangulo. Hindi naman siya tumatakbo for national office,” he said.

Hoping that this Hacienda will be given to the qualified and deserving  poor Filipinos farmers. There are a number of exclusions guaranteed by CARP. The original ones cover areas such as military reservations, penal colonies, educational and research fields, "timberlands", and some church areas. Undeveloped hills with 18 degrees slope are also excluded. In the mid-1990s, further exemptions were introduced, namely, agricultural sectors that are "less dependent on land", e.g. poultry, livestock, saltbeds and fishponds.

My main doctrine of Pastor Quiboloy is that, " He , Apollo Quiboloy is the appointed son of God. Jesus Christ is the begotten son of God. "

Bisan ug kisan na lang ang ge endorse ni Quiboloy. Una niyang ge endorse si Manny Villar.
Dili pareha sa Iglesia ni Christo nga kon unsay ipaboto sa ilang church master, is a vote for one.

Tips on Handling Medicinal Plants / Herbs:

• If possible, buy herbs that are grown organically - without pesticides.

• Medicinal parts of plants are best harvested on sunny mornings. Avoid picking leaves, fruits or nuts during and after heavy rainfall.

• Leaves, fruits, flowers or nuts must be mature before harvesting. Less medicinal substances are found on young parts.

• After harvesting, if drying is required, it is advisable to dry the plant parts either in the oven or air-dried on screens above ground and never on concrete floors.

• Store plant parts in sealed plastic bags or brown bottles in a cool dry place without sunlight preferably with a moisture absorbent material like charcoal. Leaves and other plant parts that are prepared properly, well-dried and stored can be used up to six months.

Tips on Preparation for Intake of Herbal Medicines:

• Use only half the dosage prescribed for fresh parts like leaves when using dried parts.

• Do not use stainless steel utensils when boiling decoctions. Only use earthen, enamelled, glass or alike utensils.

• As a rule of thumb, when boiling leaves and other plant parts, do not cover the pot, and boil in low flame.

• Decoctions loose potency after some time. Dispose of decoctions after one day. To keep fresh during the day, keep lukewarm in a flask or thermos.

• Always consult with a doctor if symptoms persist or if any sign of allergic reaction develops.

Tsaang Gubat is one of the 10 herbs that is endorsed the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) as an antispasmodic for abdominal (stomach) pains. And is registered as a herbal medicine at the Philippine Bureau of Food & Drug (BFAD).

Why do many Pilipinos vote for Noynoy?

Many Pilipinos now are anti- Arroyo. Sabi nga iba, mas matalino si Gibo.Pero sa huli ayaw nilang magboto kay Gibo dahil kong siya ay manalo, ay baka mailoklok sa Arroya sa gabinete. "Ayaw ko talaga ni Gibo"

Sabi nga iba, mas mabuti si Villar dahing maraming nagawa para sa bayan.Pero kong manalo si Villar, maaring mailoklok si Arroyo sa gabinete. Villar is the secret kandidate of Arroyo."Ayaw ko na kay Arroyo at Villar."

Mga empleyado ng pamahalaan, ayaw kay Villar dahil si Winston Garcia at ang kanyang kapatid sa Cebu ay nangangampanya kay Villar. Kong sakaling manalo si Villar, maaring manatili si Winston Garcia sa GSIS. Ayaw nang maniwala ang mga government employee kay Winston Garcia.

Ayaw ng taong bayan ni Villar, Gibo ,at ayaw kay Erap dahil  matanda na. Sino ang iboto pagka pangulo?

"Si Noynoy , the choise of the majority."

grazie...., atbang sa Mansion House, ug sa likod.

Happy pista...., duha sa Cogon duol sa Mansion house, akong ig-agaw si Naring Daray ug si Tasing Yamuta. Ngkapuliki gyud mo diha karon.

I have not visited any country, because I love my native land.

Growing Pechay in Pots
By fdaray

Gardening has always been a favorite pastime of many people including me. That’s simply because it’s a relief from stress and brings joy, especially when it’s harvest time.

I am growing pechay organically in my backyard. I have 15 pots planted to pechay, and I enjoy sharing my harvest with my friends and neighbors. Likewise, I want to share my little knowledge on backyard gardening for the benefit of those who are interested in it, too.

I suggest to those who are planning to establish a garden to select an area that is exposed to sunlight and is near the kitchen. With the garden being one stone’s throw away from the kitchen, it would be convenient to water the crops with rice wash or with fish or meat wash, which are all good for the plants as these contain nutrients and minerals. Preventing infestation would be easy, too, as it would be easy to see from the kitchen window the condition of the crops.

I also suggest that they construct a stand to elevate the pots to maximize use of space. Fill the pots with humus soil or compost. Plant one seed in small pots and two in bigger pots through direct seeding. When the pechay begins to sprout, start to water the same with either rice wash or fish- wash or meat wash.

As for pest management, I inspect my pechay plants every morning to see if there are tiny holes or scratches on the leaves. These are indications that the plants are infested with small pin worms or cutworms. I remove these greenish black worms using a stick and puller.

I start to harvest after 30 days. I do not uproot pechay plants until these start flowering. Pechay grow up to four months. Replace the soil in the pots with new garden soil and replant again.

Its too late to disqualify Lim. Election is so close. Let the people disqualify her.

"Lisod ning pobre ta uy!, Dili lalim!", don't say this. This is a worst expression.
Kon unsay imong isulti sa imong kaugalingon, this is a pray to God.

Proven na ba sa science nga naay Aliens? Asa sila nga planet nagpuyo? Is it within the solar system or another galazies.

You will find that the State is the kind of organization which, though it does big things badly, does small things badly, too.
