Akong auntie nga si anhing Alicia Villanueva maayo kaayo mo luto ug pinakbet Ilocano style kay pure Ilocano to iya bana.

ang iyang secreto:

1. Ang paliya, tawong, batong ug okra, dagko pagka hiwa. Kung mahimo split in half lang unya ang okra dili pikason, tibook.
2. Ihanig to ang vegetables sa botom of the earthen pot or coon. This is the first layer.
3. Then i arrange kadtong checharon at the top of the vegetables.
4. Then pour one cup of liquid bagoong (kanang ginamos nga gi-galing) kung wala, puede imong i-blender ang 1 cup nga ginamos.
5. Mao ra to ingredients.
6. Walay sagol nga tubig ang juice ra sa vegetable mo sabaw.
7. Most important tip. Fire must be very slow. Cook for 45 minutes to one hour.

By the way, I found Tubag Bohol accidentaly during my Birthday last June 17, 2007 when there was a birthday reminder from HSS Alumni. Alone and lonely in my cramed office, my heart was longing for the the only place it belongs, so I run a search for anything about Bohol and I found this baby. I was officially registered in June 24, 2007.

Then days after, I recieved invitations from Fielangeli Araoarao Gabin, but that time, I was already a member.

I felt a little bit nostalgic with this old thread

Keeping history alive, yeah!!!


Where have I been, lately?

Ow, you didn't know?

The world of fantasy is just too strong a temptation to resist.... you can say I've been drifting in and out of the wide ether world, wishing I could have another sip from the bahalina of that girl whose name I have been prohibited from naming, and longing to read once more from the flower who should not be named.

Hey, I know what you mean. Is she the one that you bite? Haha

This is a perfect medium to keep history. Really nostalgic, like the emotions when you are digging old black & white photographs during your elementary years.

In one of the seminar conducted here in KSA, the lecturer explained that when the Chalice is raised up by the priest, the doors of heaven will open and we should not look at the chalice because for some moment, it will undergo a physical transformation into the body of Christ. The lecturer further explained that there are certain things not possible in Science, but scientist are theorizing it to be possible, like gold can be turned into a silver by altering its atomic structure. Though not proven, it is theoretically possible.

Also, it is possible in quantum theory, where a person can be at two places in one time dimension. According to scientists and theorists, time is an eternal "now".

You can not measure God's glory and power through mere imagination. He is the creator of these universe bounded by his laws of physics. But why does a great powerful being offered his own son for his love to us humans? These must be something that we must think about.

Pahabol:

There is a saying that if you want to grow a beard, grow it long or shave it close.

This means if you want to improve the pier, you have to remove the vendors, plus you have to widen it, make it look modern, put a nice gate, nice bathroom..etc. if you want to impress the tourists. Otherwise, just leave it alone and keep the shanties as it makes the place filled with humanity, just like the floating restaurant of Thailand which became a big tourist attraction.

That is a good idea Lindy. Why not the city provide for these people a selling facility where they can do business and promote their handicrafts. I believe it will be filled with tourists who are curious of local products. The mere sound of people doing auction and haggling is enough to attract the hungry cameras of tourists (it would be a prize photograph just like RV's carbon market).

Sa didto pa ko sa Bilar, naay Japon nga doctor. Ang iyang means of excercise is tennis and planting rice (he volunteers for free).

You're Lola is absolutely right B:). A sleeping dog if provoked respects no master. They will bite.

Also my Lola told do not disturb an eating dog.

Just like the dog, that little space for rest is everything the dog gots. That food is the only possesion the dog ever owns.

For the vendors, that little shantie is the only possesion, property and source of living they have. So, if you try to strip it away from them, just like the dog, they will bite.

Unlike rich people, money are just toys. If they lost thousands in gambling, they will simply smile and call it a bad day.

Yuck

Kilawon ra man nang sea cucumber or "Bat". Ka ila ko tanang clase sa bat kay mo abot ko sa mangga (ila Grazie) ug panginhas: Bat tuli, Bat tagukan, Bat monang, Bat Uwak, sa una dili man kan-on ni pero karon murag gi daro ang katunggan.

Nakatilaw na mo ug "Blue Cheese", yum. Sa una ga suka ko ani pero karun ok na.

Then who do you think would replace her?

I don't care anymore.

It is the duty of the comelec to conduct a snap presidential election ASAP in order to save our country from further plunging below the ground.

It is irresponsibility from the part of the comelec chairman to keep silent if this is the only solution to this crisis.

The only solution I believe is the coordination between the comelec and the military to conduct a national election. If the elected president will come from the military, then it would be better. He should be disciplined and besides, we have lots of things to do which is possible only by a solid military leadership like acquiring back Sabah Malaysia by force (WAR) and second, we have to drive back the Chinese out of Spratlys Islands. We have to secure our borders, our sovereignty. Military supremacy is what makes a country.

If that happens I will re-activate my rank and volunteer.

War is allowed by God.

Yuck,

Dawata ning pinaka yuck nga food: "Ginamos nga naay ood nag languy-languy".

Karon ako nang pinduton ang button nga post. Ump!

Hehehe way lingaw.

You got it Lorenzo. Now you can't help to discover. I have more about this topic including the names of the royal family members of this ancient kingdom and how they fell into the hands of the Arabs and then the Dutch. I will go to my archives and will post related topics. There was an ancient saying that goes "He who controlls the spice controls the universe". Spice was gold during the old times.

It is time we OFW's must take charge.

Yuks!

Bagtok nga gi pa-isan

Not for me, for my pet Kitten.

Mackey! ha ha ha he he he he what about if you see some one accepting the voting monies? kill him also!

You are right about a change of attitude, and the people here need not to teach our kids in a push button way. they should be teaching our kids how to think ahead how to do things with out being told all the time.

They need to encourage and not discourage the young peoples mind and make them so narrow minded it is better to have broader horizons then to see things in a funnel way!

It has to start with the young not just here in the Philippines biuyt all over the world as a whole. people need to get back down to earth and be humble and be perspectictive and give a care about what is going on around them not just whats happening to them personaly.

There’s a saying in Visaya that goes: “mabanggi kung tul-iron and guwang nga sanga”. That means “Old branch will snap if straightened”, which refers to an old corrupt system. So, why expect hope from this old branch.

Instead, focus in developing the youth, new generation, our future, our hope. It is every parent’s responsibility to teach their kids the right path. If your child becomes a crook, people will always blame the parents and say “asa man diay liwat, kon di sa nag ligwat”. Blame will haunt and turn your grave.

Jose Rizal once preached that our country’s hope is in the youth. For more than a century we never learned from his words.

Perhaps, our country’s hope is not from present political leaders, but this person maybe playing marbles or dolls at present time.

Youth may have less experience, but their intentions are pure & focused with raw determination. Remember, Ferdinand Marcos excel at a young age, Ninoy Aquino became a great senator at 19 or 24, I don't remember.

I loved your use of words “broader horizons”. Majority of Filipinos narrowed their focus on how to deal with daily poverty and never cared about the future or other options. They will go for whatever fills their stomach in one day or the next day. Man can not live by bread alone, but a parent who sees his hungry child could not resist the lure of the devil.

What I mean social revolution is we Filipinos lack honor and discipline. Philippines compared to Japan is richer in terms of natural resources, but what made Japan a rich country is their attitude, honor and discipline.

From the looks, it may be the end of the road for GMA. In the US, even a president will cede and sacrifice his personal pride/ego for the good of his country.

I heared that Jennifer Love Hewitt of Ghost Whisperer is coming to Bohol.

Yuck

Grazie,

By the way, I learned from one of our Italian visitor that Grazie means thanks in Italian.

My mother teached in Mangga Elem School when I was about 4 years old. I remembered that Mangga Elementary school was surrounded by big trees until top of the hill. One of the big trees near the gate has a huge leaf, my mother sometimes used it as umbrella. With this tree, a very fragrant vine is growing they called Ilang-ilang. One day there was a scouting night out and that flower emitted a very fragrant smell that filled the whole campus. Until now, I can not forget the lovely smell of the Ilang-ilang. Also I remembered the deafening sounds of 'gangis' or cicada.

It's sad to see that those big indigenous trees are now no more.

Technically this is not a vodka.

I have researched about Vodka last 1996. A vodka is originally produced in Russia, made of fermented potato. It is distilled using only the purest glacier water and will be filtered by mineral rock to remove the pungent odor of rotten potato. Then after bottling, it will be aged for 6months to 1year in dry snow at -40 degrees kelvin. Since kelvin temperature is also know as absolute temperature, this explains why one of the pioneer brands in vodka is 'Absolute'.

You will know if it is a real vodka if you start dancing the "Baboobshka" after the first shot.

Hala tagay!

What we Filipinos need is a Social Revolution. A change in attitude. Love your country and ask yourself what I can do for my country. Think that we Filipinos are not underdogs, we are brilliant people. Kick off the greed of corruption and show to the world that the masses are ruined by just a few rotten people.

All I can say is NAM "Not Another Mistake". This time, we have to choose our leaders wisely and if someone wants to buy your vote. Kill him!

I love this Idea.

However, I disagree with choosing the African Tulip. Why not use the sariling atin like Tugas or molave, Narra, Yakal...etc. Why populate our province with foreign trees where infact our native trees are diminishing to the point of extinction. We might know its medicinal benefit only when it is extinct. We never knew if the natural cure for an epedimic like aids is somewhere in our native forest.

Nevertheless, I loved the idea in general.

It seems that world events turned with what I did last week, where I made a research about exorcism.

The following are the things I learned:

1. There is a warning not to try exorcism at home or if you are not fully trained because you are dealing with powerful spirits and they could seriously hurt you.

2. During the old days, it is only the Bishop who is authorized to perform Exorcism.

3. In modern times, ordinary priests can or even a trained person can perform exorcism, but there is a warning from the Pope that  "Priests who have done unrightful things or priest who broke their vow of celibacy (priests who engaged in sexual imorality) should not perform exorcism or their act will only strengthen the devil instead of driving them".

4. The Devil Hates Latin: It is always effective if exorcism is performed in Latin. Warning: Do not read this aloud as the devil might get provoked and might hurt you.

Here is Exorcism (In Latin) taken from my archives.

EXORCISMVS

Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica, in nomine et virtute Domini Nostri Jesu + Christi, eradicare et effugare a Dei Ecclesia, ab animabus ad imaginem Dei conditis ac pretioso divini Agni sanguine redemptis + . Non ultra audeas, serpens callidissime, decipere humanum genus, Dei Ecclesiam persequi, ac Dei electos excutere et cribrare sicut triticum + . Imperat tibi Deus altissimus + , cui in magna tua superbia te similem haberi adhuc præsumis; qui omnes homines vult salvos fieri et ad agnitionem veritaris venire. Imperat tibi Deus Pater + ; imperat tibi Deus Filius + ; imperat tibi Deus Spiritus Sanctus + . Imperat tibi majestas Christi, æternum Dei Verbum, caro factum + , qui pro salute generis nostri tua invidia perditi, humiliavit semetipsum facfus hobediens usque ad mortem; qui Ecclesiam suam ædificavit supra firmam petram, et portas inferi adversus eam nunquam esse prævalituras edixit, cum ea ipse permansurus omnibus diebus usque ad consummationem sæculi. Imperat tibi sacramentum Crucis + , omniumque christianæ fidei Mysteriorum virtus +. Imperat tibi excelsa Dei Genitrix Virgo Maria + , quæ superbissimum caput tuum a primo instanti immaculatæ suæ conceptionis in sua humilitate contrivit. Imperat tibi fides sanctorum Apostolorum Petri et Pauli, et ceterorum Apostolorum + . Imperat tibi Martyrum sanguis, ac pia Sanctorum et Sanctarum omnium intercessio +.

Ergo, draco maledicte et omnis legio diabolica, adjuramus te per Deum + vivum, per Deum + verum, per Deum + sanctum, per Deum qui sic dilexit mundum, ut Filium suum unigenitum daret, ut omnes qui credit in eum non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam: cessa decipere humanas creaturas, eisque æternæ perditionìs venenum propinare: desine Ecclesiæ nocere, et ejus libertati laqueos injicere. Vade, satana, inventor et magister omnis fallaciæ, hostis humanæ salutis. Da locum Christo, in quo nihil invenisti de operibus tuis; da locum Ecclesiæ uni, sanctæ, catholicæ, et apostolicæ, quam Christus ipse acquisivit sanguine suo. Humiliare sub potenti manu Dei; contremisce et effuge, invocato a nobis sancto et terribili nomine Jesu, quem inferi tremunt, cui Virtutes cælorum et Potestates et Dominationes subjectæ sunt; quem Cherubim et Seraphim indefessis vocibus laudant, dicentes: Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth.

V. Domine, exaudi orationem meam.
R. Et clamor meus ad te veniat.
[si fuerit saltem diaconus subjungat V. Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.]

Oremus.

D Eus coeli, Deus terræ, Deus Angelorum, Deus Archangelorum, Deus Patriarcharum, Deus Prophetarum, Deus Apostolorum, Deus Martyrum, Deus Confessorum, Deus Virginum, Deus qui potestatem habes donare vitam post mortem, requiem post laborem; quia non est Deus præter te, nec esse potest nisi tu creator omnium visibilium et invisibilium, cujus regni non erit finis: humiliter majestati gloriæ tuæ supplicamus, ut ab omni infernalium spirituum potestate, laqueo, deceptione et nequitia nos potenter liberare, et incolumes custodire digneris. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine.
Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias libertate servire, te rogamus, audi nos.
Ut inimicos sanctæ Ecclesiæ humiliare digneris, te rogamus audi nos.

Et aspergatur locus aqua benedicta

Warning: Use the above only as last resort. The devil is a powerful being and they may seriously hurt you if provoked. Please do not under-estimate the power of the dark side as sometimes it is un-natural.

Didto pod sa Mindanao nauso ang gitawag ug "Skylab", kay ang porma naay pako-pako nga tabla left and right unya ang sakay mo abot ug "10" ka pasahero. Pero dili mo larga kung dili puno.

Kung ma crash ni simbako, naa siguro mangabungi.

It looks to me that they are still minors. Minors should not be jailed like this, dumped in unhealthy condition. Are they sentenced or just detained? You can not detain anybody more than 24 hours without raising a case. I believed this is another case of cleaning the "eye-sore" and it's purpose is not to reform this youths, this is not the way of turning them into productive citizens.

In the US, minors who break the law are placed in special camps for counceling; however, except if the crime is murder.

Lorenzo,

U R really a Boholano at heart.

Tourists who comes to Bohol are not looking for a Disneyland kind or experience.

They want to experience nature, an out of civilization experience, away from the noisy city, a simple life. They want to discover a different kind of economy/culture, curious about how we Filipinos are surviving amidst ailing economy and remain happy regardless.

Its up to us to show them the real us, a people full of hope, strong in spirit, we have to show to them that money is not the only source of happiness.

I invite rich people around the world who are troubled and desperate to come to Bohol and discover a natural theraphy.

Asin is unforgettable. A monument should be built for the members of this band.

I agree with you Mike, I grew up with this song.

I learnt the guitar being inspired by ASIN, infact this was the first song I mastered with a recycled old guitar we found with my barkadas. We tried to imitate their hippy look we called "Adis-adis".

All thier songs are very Filipino & very nationalistic.

Mao ni gi ingon ni Mr. Bennylene nga "Glaring disparity between the haves and the have-nots".

Welcome back Tubag Bohol

Many thanks Mike for your great efforts.

Sa wala pa sila mo graduate ge hire na sila sa Metro Bank Manila branch unya akung sister nakasulod si Neneng wala modayon hantod nag ijahay na sila og trabaho sa Banko ni transfer akung sister sa PCI Bank mura man to iya gikuha si Neneng kay ni balhin akung sister sa Cebu Plaza sa Japanese Travel Agent siya na hired. Pero sige pa gihapon sila og contact ni Belen og Neneng unya ako pod nila mga Casocot family tanan mga igsoon nasood napod namo.

Tanang mga istorya nako dire sa Tubag Bohol puro tinood. Ang ngalan adto nga basketball player si Pada, tigulang na siguro ron. Usa siya ka frustrated PBA ug kapanahonan siya nila ni Bernard Fabiosa or mas una pa.

Wala man to siya madawat sa Manila kay dili kamao mo tagalog. Mao nga nag tricycle driver na lang. Mo dula siya ug basketball nga pamugasay para makakaon iyang familya. Nag antos to siya sa yano nga panginabuhi.

Diha pod koy nabatian nga istorya nga na flatan ug ligid iyang tricycle unya iyang gi suksukan ug unas sa saging para maka dagan ug balik iyang tricycle. Wala inawon ikapalit ug bag-on ligid.

Wala na ko kahibalo kung asa ra to si Pada.

Sa diha pa ko sa Pinas, mo abot ko ug bisikleta (racer) diha sa Calape gikan sa Tagbilaran kada weekend isip Paugnat sa kusog. Inig abot sa merkado, mo order dayon ko ug Tuba or Kinotil.

Usahay kung kapoyan ko, diha ra ko kutob sa Loon.

OFW's in Saudi Arabia is organizing a Reintegration Seminar/Forum
by Macky Ferniz Feb 21, 2008

Filipinos in Saudi Arabia are organizing a re-integration seminar, in response to the expected mass repatriation of OFWs due to the so called “artificial inflation” imposed by the host country, where it posed 20%-30% of unfavorable income.

There are two phases; one is organized by a Cebuano group called CISTA which will be held today, 1:00 PM at the International Philippine School of Al-Khobar (IPSA) and the next phase is a joint gathering of Filipino civic organizations, which will be held tomorrow at Dossary Hospital Grounds (a full day event).

I have not seen the official publication / agenda and just knew this through mere hearsay.  However, I will try to cover this event and send updates.

I believe one of the hot topics to be discussed is concerning the current unrest in our country and the rumors of another people power.

Another TB member Mr. Jun Ayag might attend this event as he is always a proponent of proletariat's welfare. Perhaps Mr. Jun Ayag could give us some highlight.

I remembered, dihay Basketball Liga sa Bohol ug ang usa ka player na pi-ang. Pero dili magpa hubo sa iyang sapatos ug makig sumbagay kung huboon kuno iyang sapatos.

Mao nga gi pugos gyud pahubo ang sapatos para ma check asa ang pi-ang dapit.

Bantog ra dili pahubo ug sapatos kay ang iyang gi himong bandage support sa iyang tiil, Bra man diay sa iyang asawa, unya duna pay daghang momho, gi himo na siguro to ug trapo sa lamesa. Mi ingon tong nurse nga baho kunong inon-onan.

Glen,

Mga karaang tao man ni imong gi hisgotan.

Ig-agaw ni nila ni misis. Kauban ni sila saka didto sa Manila kadtong trabaho pa siya sa Huiller unya sa PCI Bank.

Mi asinso na ni si Belen ug naa na puesto sa merkado. Ang ga una ug Huiller dire sa Bohol kadto si Rey Anadon nga manager sa Huiller ug maoy gipuy-an nila sa Manila. Diha pod sila ga puyo dapit sa Sayong Furniture sa una. Siguro silingan ra pod ni ninyo.

Gamay ra gyod ang Bohol kay ga libot libot ra man ang mga tao. Murag walay sekreto nga ma tago.

Graze,
The best nga protection sa Flu, magpa imune ka by injecting flu vaccine.

I tried it last year and proven effective. Bisan pa ug mag hukas hukas ka sa Winter or makig tapad ka ug gi flu, dili gyud ka matakdan. Ang validity ana nga vaccine 1 year, so 1 year pod ka dili ma sakit ug flu. May pagka mahal kana nga injection, pero kung imong kwentahon ang hassle ug imong mga absent sa trabaho kung ma sakit ka, mas makabawi pa ka.

There was a radio Ad, I remembered when I was a kid.

It goes like this:

“Gamita ang haplas rab-rab, makahupay sa imong sip-on ug ubo.
Sayon ra ang pag gamit sa haplas rab-rab. Ipahid lang sa dughan ug ilong,
Human sa pila ka minuto (tan-tanan! may suspense music pa),
Ang resulta, wagtang ang ilong nagpabilin ang sip-on”

Naminaw mi sa radio nga nag siga among mga mata.

Get well soon Miss A.

Chard, daghan kaayong salamat sa imong padayon nga pag tabang sa mga deserving Boholano students. Maayo ni nga initiative kay empowering. Instead nga mo hatag ka ug bugas or pagkaon nga ma hurot dayon, imo silang gi hatagan ug kaalam, skill and knowledge nga mo lambo ug dili ma papas (life time).

Once again, we the people of Tubag Bohol would like to thank you for the smart help to the Boholano people.

THis is really good news. I hope this will materialize very soon.

Hi Julai,

Di ba kaila mo ni Cathy Calderon of Norway. Nakita nako imong avatar sa iyang Friendster. Silingan mi ni Cathy sa Esperanza, Agusan Del Sur, directly tapad gyod among balay. Daghan man didto taga Bohol, kasagaran mga taga Inabangga, mga Petalcorin, Anasco, Anana…etc. Sa una man gud logging village man ang Esperanza mao nga daghang nang langyaw didto nga taga Bohol.

Kanus-a diay ka mo uli sa Tagbilaran?

Maayo Julai kay aware ka sa importance of preparing for reintegration. Bitaw kinahanglan gyud nga mag andam na ta para sa re-integration, kay dili pirme ug uncertain atong fate sa abroad. Sama dire namo sa Saudi, nga murag naay wave of voluntary resignation kay nag impose ang Saudi Government karon ug “Artificial Inflation”. That means, prices of basic commodities increased by 40%-50%. Living conditions are now tough these days, especially if you have family here. I believed it is their tactic to drive away / discourage semi-skilled emigrant workers in favor of their own local work-force.

Sa una, mga citizens dire, puro mga un-skilled, pero as time goes by, they learned those skills from us, somewhat a form of technology transfer. Now, their new generation of skilled youth are demanding employment.

Slowly, they are replacing us and time will come that they don’t need us anymore.

Now is the time to prepare ourselves for the coming hardships of surviving in our economy which seems alien to us being years of working in foreign land.

Congratulations Jane Cajes.

We the Boholano people are proud of you.

Kining iyang papa si Sir Roberto amo ning mestro ug philosophy sa UB sa una.

Since Bohol is heading for a full blast Tourism Industry, we Boholanos should anticipate this event by exposing ourselves to its technicalities and gather ideas about how this industry works.

I have a very important marketing lesson to teach you folks.

The hotels Fortune has inquired in Panglao are trying to “create buzz”. They are imitating a formula from world renowned resorts/hotels, “jacking up prices”, in hope of getting attention from Forbes Magazine and other travel magazines. They are targeting the niche market such as Dignitaries, CEOs, Celebrities,…etc.
But neither Forbes is buying their trap. None of Philippine’s best resorts are listed among the top 50 worlds most luxurious. According to Forbes, the most expensive hotels range from $1,395 (benchmark) to $5,000 a night (food and alcohol charged separately).

So, what do you get from $15,000 besides vintage French wine, food and laundry? PGMA performing a striptease? Obviously this price is too extreme and unrealistic?
At this price, you should be surrounded by staff that never says no. But I doubt if our Panglao resorts could meet the standards, because according to our friend “Fortune”, they are not even answering emails.

One time, I booked an exclusive suite for our VP’s meeting in one of the hotels in Italy. The next day, I received a welcome note with catalogues, calendar & diary set, couriered to our door-step.

Below are some of the most expensive hotels/resorts:
1. Frégate Island Private in the Seychelles where Bill Gates was once a guest â€" Price withheld.
2. The Wakaya Club in Fiji, also Bill Gates was once a guest â€" Price withheld.
3. The Mansion at the MGM Grand in Florida Keys  - $5,000 room rate only.
4. Little Palm Island in the Florida Keys - $1,395 inclusive laundry.

If you want to rent an entire resort, try Musha Keys of the Bahamas or Richard Branson’s Necker Island.

Tho I am busy, theres no way I'll ever forget this special day.

Happy Heart's day to you folks.

With all my Love and friendship.

It is wise to open business in a fresh, but imerging market. Based on Philippine economic trend, we are going up. One of its advantage is cheap and enless opportunities being a fresh and unsaturated market. Second your money seeded will grow in exponential proportions being the economy base is growing. Why is it that the US is opening Mc Donalds and other businesses in Cuba? The answer is already explained here.

I met several Brittons with similar caliber as Alan Barnet and their basic principle are "Brand Building", "Management" and "Marketing".

O Mr.Macks, you are right about those peoples and we can add more and more popular worldwide people who engaged in business totally different from their careers like Sara Jessica Parker for Perfume and the Woman's tennis player champions the Williams sisters are also into fashions and many others.

Ikaw Mr.Macks, I think you should start now. I know you did a lot of business introductions here in TB, how was it by the way?

I am also a misfit Ms. B:), because I graduated in Engineering, but my profession now is Marketing and Logistics. I think I am over qualified right now.

Actually most of my introductions were not just ideas but existing and practised. However at the moment, my focus is still deviated and one day those will be consolidated in proper sequence. Time will come.

Quote from: B:) on February 05, 2008, 02:29:32 AM
You're not alone Lorenzo, a lot of Boholanos didn't know about it, I for one.

Thanks a lot Mr.Macks, might as well Thank sgt.joey for their website where you got it from.

Reading and singing the "Awit Sa Bohol" again made me more emotional how much I miss Bohol everyday.

B:), I already expressed gratitude to Sgt. Joey and the Tabaco family at the begining of my thread. Actually, I got this fonts from the same web site in 2005 when I was researching for Ancient Kingdom of Southeast Asia and the Sri Vijayan tribe (the Visaya) who ruled the Spice Trade. I learned from my research that Butuan City was once a major capital of a great kingdom with diplomatic representation from the Emperor of China and Bohol was its Annex.

Quote from: Lorenzo on February 05, 2008, 01:37:45 AM
My mind is filled with mixed feelings, Mr Ferniz.

One is the respect and awe of the Pax Hispanica that transformed our country by linking us to the Western World, yet there is a lingering contempt for the Spaniards, for denying our people of our native culture. This writing system, to me, is very beautiful--and I personally never knew about its very existence in my studies of Philippine History, nor was it ever included in the Spanish almanacs that were written on the Philippines that I studied in History classes. It is as if they deliberately wanted to bar its inclusion in historical records.

Truly, it is true when people say, 'you learn something new every day'. I concur with that statement, my deepest gratitude extends to you, Mr Ferniz, for sharing this incredible piece of history.

That I never knew before.

Again, my obeisance,
Bran Lorenzo

In change, you gain something and lose some. We never realized the value of our heritage until it is lost. When I went to another country, I experienced different cultures and I am touched to witness how other nationalities are proud showing it off, never cared what other nationalities would say. Even to the extent of wealth and modernization, they are steadfast in preserving their own way.

I asked my Indian colleagues and checked other forms of writing and the Horuf Java form of writing is closer to Tamil or Malayalam form of writing, an ethnic group of south India. Some of its letters are even closer to Thai. These group once travelled to Borneo in search for spice.

I read some article before that the oldest form of writing is the Sanskrit where all South Asian and South East Asian writings were derived. Even some English words & letters were derived from Sanskrit. Let me search back my old files.

In our case it was Christianity introduced by the Spaniards that made us forget/abandon our system of writing and at the same time it is also Christianity that preserved it through the works of the Italian Lorenzo Hervas Y Pandura who collected 300 translations of the Lords Prayer as stated in the beginning of this thread.

Lorenzo Hervás y Pandura, 1787 Author: Saggio prattico delle lingue con prolegomeni e una raccolta di Orazioni Domincale in più di trecento lingue e dialetti (Practical examples of languages with prologues and a collection of the Lord's prayer in over 300 languages and dialects).

in other words guys, in the world of business, IT'S ALWAYS TRICKY!

B:),

Welcome to the colorful / unpredictable world of business. Like you'll never knew the two great tennis legends Andre Agassi and stefi Graf would embark into furniture / home fabric business partnering Michael Kreiss of KREISS Furniture. Or bad boy rapper Sean P. Diddy would engage into the world of fashion business (Sean John).

Mr. Bennelyn,

This is a lesson for beginners like Bohol Inc.

My advise is to keep a low profile/conservative approach and register as a small business. Do not register as a big enterprise because it is easier to upgrade a business than to start big and then down-size. Use your resources conservatively. Take baby steps and do not rush. Plan before stepping forward and plan in closed doors. Do not advertise to be popular. Advertise only to support a promo campaign or expansion campaign. If possible, run underground. Word by mouth and reputation is the best advertising.

Note: As we have just seen, Bohol is a hostile business environment. Therefore the key word is “conservative”, or you will draw the ears of corruption and become a big target. Don’t stay in one place. Open small but many strategic branches.

Make survey, do business as per the demand and do not overspend. Do not hang around with politicians.

I read that the Philippine Eagle is known as the "Monkey Eating" Eagle. Apparently, one of its favorite dishes are indigenous moneys, tarsiers, deer, fish, and pythons.

Truly a powerful and majestic bird.

By the way, it is quite coincidental that one of the articles in the Feb 2008 issue of National Geographic Magazine is the Philippine Eagle. If I'm not mistaken it is page 40. It says they have successfully raised some young Eagles from breeding in captivity program. Then they have re-introduced some of them to the wild. Also mentioned is the wing span of these magnificent birds that would reach up to 7 feet across.

Here it is "Lord of the Forest"

This Friday, I was able to finally finish three elements vis-a-vis the AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, also known as the Electronic-spectrophotometer). The elements that were analyzed in my samples were Lead, Zinc and Cadmium, all in all I analyzed about 297 samples. I will finish analysis of the last 2 metals: Mercury and Arsenic in the coming weeks, after proper training with the biology technician in handling hazardous contaminants.

The laboratory phase is coming to an end, nothing can describe the amount of joy I had when I finished the last cadmium trace metals analysis through the AAS.

Here are some pictures:


The finished 69 samples (already ready for analysis, completed acid digestion)


The AAS machine (Atomic absorption spectrometer) also known as the electronic spectrophotometer. $600 of my grant money was depleted in order to use this machine.


The temperature gage of the AAS




AAS machine, side view


Front view of this beautiful beast.


My control desk. hahaha


This is the plastic tube that takes milligram samples of my acids-samples to determine the presence of a particular metal; which were either lead, zinc and cadmium. It took about 15 minutes to analyze one sample, out of a total of processed 69 samples.

It took me about 1070 minutes to complete analysis of 69 samples for zinc trace presence (about 17 hours)
It took me another 1070 minutes to analyze lead and another 1070 minutes for cadmium. Overall, around 50 hours for all of it to be finished. It took me about a 1.75 weeks to finish 3 metals. Now to finish 2 more metals.


As I was busy analyzing the samples, I had Cedric Gamble, my student assistant to properly calibrate the specificity of cadmium, zinc and lead. It is necessary for the accuracy-sake.
Here is a photo-capture of this processes.


Cedric doing work, he has been a great asset to me during my entire project, working with me from the whinning hours of the night. I will include him in citation during the writing of this research paper.


Two very invaluable people throughout the duration of my metals analysis in the AAC lab.
The one in the left is Mr. Same Reese, the Biology-Environmental Science Technician, he has been there for me when I had technical difficulties or when the AAC or the CNS machines were not cooperating. The gentleman on the right is my lab assistant, Cedric Gamble, who is a freshman Biology student and whom I've taken under my wing. He will eventually take my place when I graduate.

Bran,

Dili ba ni hadlok nga process pag test nga ang kanang machine mo bombard na ug certain levels of radioactivity to change the metals into isotopes. So, pag sul-ob ug protective gear kay delikado raba kaayo ang radioactive poisoning.

Ang akong Papa once na expose sa radioactivity kay sa ulitao pa siya, didto siya trabaho sa Wake Island unya one adjacent Island was made into a nuclear missile testing ground.

So, the result, dugay siya ka anak. It took them 5 years in the making before I came to this world.

Just a joke about your assistant Cedric: Unsa nga isda iyang gi hinloan ug gi unsa ninyo pag luto? Gi prito or inun-onan, hahaha.

Bitaw, it gives pride to every Boholano that you have this brilliant mind and talent. You are one of the few Filipinos who are fortunate to be blessed with such opportunity. We are looking forward to your success. Good luck.

Mao ni kinabuhi nga walay pressure.

Thank you Mike sa imong pag appreciate sa akong experiment.

Mao nga na inganyo ko pag translate ani kay sa didto pa ko sa Advertising Dept., akong gi tun-an ang Arabic fonts kay ang ilang advertising dire, English/Arabic man. Mao nga naka pangutana ko sa akong kaugalingon, “ngano wala man nato gamita ang atong kaugalingon nga system of writing?” Mao nga nag research ko sa web ug salamat sa Tabaco family web site, didto nako nakaplagi ang dugay na nakong gi pangita.

Mas lisod ang Arabic, kay ang ilang sinulatan from right to left, binali sa atong sinulatan.

Sir, the provincial hymn was originally written in English by Justino "Ning" Romea of Loon as the Bohol Hymn.  I was told that in the 1960's (although it could be earlier) a competition was held for the Cebuano-Visayan version of the song.  Ma'am Maxelende Ganade, then a high school student, won the competition.  Concordantly, the Visayan title was "Awit sa Bohol."

Anyway, Sir, can I also ask you for a rendering of my name: Paul Joseph Vistal?  Daghang salamat daan.

Paul, the fonts are installed in my office computer and probably by tomorrow, I am able to give you.

Since we can not select fonts in a forum, so I have to rasterize it into a picture file otherwise it will appear as English fonts if I post or write it directly.

It's really nice to learn again our lost system of writing.

Quote from: Sigbin II on February 01, 2008, 04:05:27 PM
It is not the unknown that we should fear.  What is most dangerous to man is what he presumes to be familiar.

You are right Sigbin II, fearless of the unknown runs in our blood, like our ancestors ventured into the open sea until they reached and settled in Bohol.

Taking Sabah Malaysia by force is one initiative I appreciate from the Marcos regime.

The other is the green revolution and the Tree Planting activities. After the Marcos regime, the successors are more focused on political reforms where little impact has been felt. They don't bother about preserving our resources. Illegal logging become ramphant and foreign exploitation to our natural resources goes un-controlled including exploitation to our labor sector.

Our problem fellow pinoys is we are exploiting, attacking and destroying our fellow filipinos. We are killing ourselves. This attitude is leading to our doom.

Why wont we try another way of thinking, like doing the same to non-filipinos instead of doing it to ourselves.

For example, we will hire Chinese labors or Indonesian labors and let them work in sweat shops with below minimum wage salary. Why wont our corrupt people go somewhere else and do business there, instead of spoiling the Philippines. Why wont we try selling illegal things to Japan instead of selling it in the Philippines.

Why are we doing this to our own people?

Our army is fighting a senseless, stupid war; brother against brother. Why wont our army invade Sabah Malaysia and claim what is ours.

Lorenzo,
You may learn more about this system of writing from the tabaco family web site. Below are the links for your convenience.
Web site: http://www.tabacofamily.com/
To down load font and tutorial: http://www.tabacofamily.com/images/new/bisherv.zip

There is a sample writing there and it reads: Dayan Kira, probably one of the younger generations of d' Tabaco.

It is very simple Lorenzo. It took me just minutes after reading the tutorial before I start translating the Bohol Hymn.


Lindy, the Ganade's are a family of musicians and Ms. Lindy Ganade was our music teacher in HSS Elem. School. Her brother's daughter Suzanne is my classmate and we are also neighbors in Cogon, Tagbilaran City.

Grazie,

Just sharing my thoughts; in the US, nobody cares for the elderly. For practical reasons, they are putting their parents and elderly people in welfare villages / institutions. This is a form of discrimination by hiding them away from society.

You have proven once more that our filipino heritage is still alive. No question, we will all go there, but you have given enough respect till the end.

I am not on any side here, but his his death will create a chain of further violence, which will definitely affect the peace and order situation of Bohol. Consequently the tourism industry will suffer. Ultimately, we the Boholano people are the loosers.

I condemn this purely evil/unethical act of a mindless coward.

Makauulaw kaayo atobangan sa international audience ug makaapekto kini sa atong image isip peaceful nga province.

Yes Lindy, this is the Bohol Hymn.

Your question is coincidental because the arranger of this song is Lindy Ganade.

Mr. Ferniz, how does Brando Lorenzo Lucino look like in this script?

The form of script looks like the indigenous writing styles of Java.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing this.

So was pre-hispanic Philippines fluent in this script? How was the literacy rate?

Bran, as per your request, the following is your name written in Bisaya Hervas.

Jun, I just found this today afternoon from my old archives. Just trying some experiment on Awit sa Bohol. I found these fonts in the Tabaco web site last 2005.

Lorenzo, the font was loaded in my office computer and tomorrow morning, I will send you on this same thread your name using these fonts. Actually it is very easy and rules are basic.

I believed literacy rate during pre-hispanic was 100% as they are able to write tatoos in thier bodies.

Awit Sa Bohol â€" Written on original Visayan Sript (Bisaya Hervas)
Gihubad sa karaang pamaagi sa pagsulat ni: Marcos Raymund S. Ferniz (Enero 30, 2008)

Proem: Bisaya Hervás is based on a type face that appeared in 1787 in an Italian work by Lorenzo Hervás y Pandura, Saggio prattico delle lingue con prolegomeni e una raccolta di Orazioni Domincale in più di trecento lingue e dialetti (Practical examples of languages with prologues and a collection of the Lord's prayer in over 300 languages and dialects). The samples used to create this font are from two Austrian books that reproduced this Cebuano version of the baybayin, Illustrirte Geschichte der Schrift (The Illustrated History of Writing) by Karl Faulman, 1880 and Sprachenhalle (Hall of Languages) by Alois Auer, 1847.

Una sa tanan, akong dakong pasalamat sa banay Tabaco, diin pinaagi sa ilang ‘web site’, akong nakaplagan ang dugay nang gilubong sa kalimot nga pamagaagi sa pag sulat ‘Bisaya’.

Ganihang udto 30 January, 2008, akong gi hubad ang “Awit Sa Bohol” ginamit ang Bisaya Hervas, uban sa panghinaut nga unta atong sapnayon pagbalik kining tipik sa atong kagahapon.

Pahinungod: Kini akong ipahinongod sa akong mga apuhan nga mi panaw na sa laing kalibutan ug sa ugat sa akong mga kagikan nga taga Sri Dapitan (kanhi-ay nga ngalan sa Bohol). Ilabina sa akong mga ginikanan, asawa ug mga anak, ni Mike Ligalig ug kaninyong tanang mga sakop sa Tubag Bohol.







Ang mo sunod, ‘Tubag Bohol’ ug ‘Mike Ligalig’ gamit kini nga font. Puede ni nimo himoon nga Tatoo para pa unique. According to history, kita mga Pintados or mga native nga puno sa tatoo as discribed by Legaspi.

I have seen it today and yesterday. It will show at the bottom part of the page as google advertisement. I just ignore it as normal ad. Is it the ones showing 3 faces of Filipinas. It looks like a dating site. I can't remember exactly the words, but it says want to find Filipina brides? If it comes again, I will get the link.

Yehey!

Ang Bilar mahimo na lang stop over, pero wala nila developa kaayo ang mga tourist attractions nila. Sayang kay puede nila developon ang logarita. Hangtod karon wala man nila gi expand. Dili pareha sa Badiang falls nga nindot na kaayo. Ang climate sa Bilar mura pod ug Baguio. Puede didto magpabugnaw ang mga tourista.

Ang uso adtong panahona nga expression sa 1970s kay "Wa ka koyapi" & "Ilara Tits". Puro ambil pa ang mga sul-ob ug long sleeve pod nga ambil. Ang buhok pina-pilit murag gi tilaan ug baka.

Murag nakadungog ko anang apelyidoha brown. Daghang mga Uy sa Bilar. Siguro manghod na sa akong classmate nga si Henry Uy. Ang manghod ni Henry Uy nga si Jojo naa diri sa Saudi nag laag laag, Elevator technician iyang trabaho kay Mechanical engineering man to.

Siguro ug nasa bugan ang sakit, mura ka tanawon ug si Adan ug Eba inig butang nimo sa dahon sa tuba-tuba. Hahaha.

Ana& Jorge, wala pa ko kasulay ug upload sa YouTube, pero pangutan-a si St. Agnes or si Admin Mike.

Orchids, patanom gyud ug ngipon kay lifetime na na. Samtang naa pa ka sa Japan. Mahal raba na kaayo sa pinas.

Unsa na ang imong sinultian karon?, ang "S" sounds like "Sh" like Hapas mahimong Hapash.

Mo sign off una ko kay hapit na 12 diri.

Akong i-post ug utro para convenient tan-awon sa wala pa makakita.

Hi Macks are you from Bilar! We have relatives there just a few meters away from BAC,

Taga Bilar akong papa ug mama pero nag dako ug nag iskwela na ko sa Tagbilaran. Pag graduate nako ug Engineering, nakatrabaho ko sa BAC as asssistant resident engineer. Si Engineer Army Maj. Dongdong Manug ang resident engineer. Wala na ko kabalo kung unsa na ang rango sa military ni Engr. Manug karon. Siguro taas na. Kami kadtong nag renovate anang mga building nga panahon pa sa world war II ug among gi modernize.

Unsa man ang apelyido sa imong ig agaw. Basin parente pa mi.

By the way, gi mingaw akong Papa nga akong gi istoryahan sa inyong laag laag ni Gracie sa fisherman's warf. Siguro mi tan-aw siya sa among internet didto sa Bohol. Nakabisita siya diha sa CA sa ulitaw pa siya.

Siguro kamo ra siguro diha ang psychic. Instrument lang ko ninyo.

Ms Dabinsi, I remembered one of your avatar is like a fairy or butterfly. The one made by Mari.
This brown butterfly resembles the color of your hair.

Macks, I was listening to the discussion earlier today at the CNN and Fox News regarding this uncontrollable satellite.  You are right in saying that by the time the satellite reaches the earth's surface, it will be disintegrated already.  However, they were worrying about the toxic chemicals.  Anyhow, I think there's not really much to worry about because the size of this satellite is only the size of a school bus. 

I remember is late 70s during my early elementary years the news about the skylab came to the radio airwaves.  It worried me no end that one day, this skylab was just going to drop to our dilapidated nipa roof.  I prayed so hard because my young mind didn't think our roof could sustain. hehehehe silly me.  But when I heard it landed somewhere in the Indian Sea and part of Australia, I sighed in relief and thanked God...

Aa ikaw siguro tong bata nag t-shirt minarkahan ug "Skylab, don't panic no harm". I remembered that event vividly. I was grade six at that time. Many tourists came to the Phils bringing cameras as it was speculated that some fragments of skylab might fall in central visayas.

Here, the resources are still abundant, unspoiled and unexploited. Blue crabs or lambay can be found at knee high waters. People here found the supermarket as more convenient than catching crabs or fish. Therefore, wildlife thrives a lot here. The sea are rich with different fishes like Alaska. You can only find Filipinos fishing and no other else. They fish only for recreation or relaxation and not for food.

Let me tell you a short story of my life.

One time when I was about 25 years old, my first company went bankrupt. I survived through fishing with mentorship of Rey Ompad, the causin of Blue Angel. He thaught me how to catch crabs with bare hands. Also how to catch Cuttle fish (Kubutan) which is hard to find because it is well comoflaged and we used to catch it at night. I met a fishing mate who is Rocky Gatal, the causin of Mikey Gatal.

After months of working in part-time jobs and fishing, Rocky Gatal introduced me to a Boholano who was a big time manager of Saudi American Bank. His name is Jun Ayag, a very strict, straight to the point, kind of manager, but he helps people who wants to develop skills. Outside the office, he is down to earth and prefers simple friends. I worked in Saudi American Bank for less than a year. Our team with Jun's leadership was awarded as the best to handle a crisis, when a virus hit and paralyzed the central computer. We were well organized that without aid of computers, business resumed as normal even it was very high season (December).

Since my sponsorship can not be transfered to Jun's company, I moved on to a marketing/trading and distribution company, where I became a Marketing Analyst and now handling Purchasing/export department.

With my 18 years hands on experience in the trading business, I bet any MBA graduate could be better.

Whew! That was real survival in a foreign land.

Since I am a kind of person who is not comfortable with uniformity, I wish to pursue with my engineering career. I am planning to take a board exams in Civil Engineering here in the Kingdom hopefully by next year.

Move on.

Kahibaw ko sa ngan ani nga lambay.
