the local grapevine here tells about the hubby and their kid catching the wife and somebody high at the Capitol with their pants down inside a city hotel.

Of course beating the s*** out of her is senseless of a husband.

But if other mayors would know that the relationship has literally outwitted them off the tracks in getting Capitol engineering equipment and priority in local roads, they not like it. I am praying they dont.

a, grabe pud. dili siguro na tinood sir. bright man na si mayor siguro. para sa usa ka bright ug ilado nga politico, di ka musod ug hotel sa tagbilaran oi. adto kas cebu magcheckin sa kings court, prince court or sa quennsland ba kaha.

the hungihong does not make a sense.

HALA KA DUH! kasabot na si precious ug binisaya? makalingaw man to iya posts diri gud.

Landowner wants CARP for family hacienda



Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 02:01:00 01/17/2009

Filed Under: Agrarian Reform


Our extended family â€" through a family corporation, Eusebio Inc. â€" owns a 70-hectare hacienda in Negros Island. As a firm believer of land reform, I recently emailed my cousins and other relatives (some are now based abroad) who co-own the land, asking them to voluntarily offer the property for land reform coverage. I hope my e-mail will touch their hearts and prod them into helping our workers who have silently accepted their bondage and existence as landless farmers. This in essence is what I told them.

In the final weeks of December 2008, a number of news stories in Philippine media centered on the issue of whether or not the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) of the Philippines should be extended as is or with some amendments, or scrapped altogether. The issue practically pitted the farmers against the government (more particularly the Department of Agrarian Reform) and Congress.

The members of our family who are now based abroad might feel that the issue does not concern them anymore. But the fact is our family still owns Hacienda Sta. Ana, a 70-hectare sugarcane plantation.

It’s almost 100 years since our great-grandparents acquired the plantation. Some of the workers in the hacienda are the great-grandchildren, grandchildren and children of the workers who had worked for our great-grandparents, grandparents and parents years back. The present workers remain in bondage to the land they till but do not own. I call this “generational poverty/bondage” where those who till the soil can never fully realize their dream of freedom from poverty for their own children and grandchildren.

Ironically this is the same dream that we, especially those of us who have migrated, have for our own children: that they live a much better life. We as parents are, therefore, no different from the workers of our hacienda, who are also parents.

In 2007, my mother commissioned a study by the Ateneo de Manila University-based Fr. John J. Carroll Institute on Church and Social Issues. The study covered three successful farmers’ cooperatives in Negros, which helped improve the lives of the farmer-owners. The study showed a very obvious reason for the cooperatives’ success â€" a P40,000 income going to a landowner was not enough for his family’s basic needs and wouldn’t last a week; but P40,000 in the hands of farmers allowed them to purchase not only their basic needs but also house appliances such as stoves, washing machines and even TV sets. This, plus the realization that they were the masters of their own destinies made their hard work fulfilling.

I appeal to my relatives: in the name of social justice, give the land to the tillers. Let’s help them. With all the blessings we now enjoy as a family, let’s express our gratitude to God by following what the Church has been teaching and help the workers in our hacienda.

Let us make 2009 a happy and socially relevant year for our family and for those who have worked for us for generations.

it's not about sosy life calle. it's about sustainability and gains in the next of couple of  years. in cebu, when andoks first was introduced people flocked to their stands to buy lechon manok. but later on people are now ignoring it as the price is expensive compared to other lechon manok vendors like ogis or sr. pedro. that's why andoks changed their outlook and the turned it into a dine in restaurant where you can't just buy lechon manok and fried chicken but also other foods like chopsuey, crispy pata among others. 2 prominent place of andoks in cebu are located in mabolo and in pusok, lapu-lapu city. but it's not always full.

the socis (and the wannabes) will sustain it bnc.

pirmi ko diha sa andoks sa mabolo sa diha pa ko sa sindulan nagpujo. sa cebu man gud, mahilig ang mga tawo didto ug lami nga affordable (not necessarily barato). cases in point: sa bag-o pa ang kenny rogers sa ayala center cebu, kinolometro ang pila sa ayala. maghuwat pa kag inoras usa makakaon. pero karun gilangaw na tawon kay daghan man jud nga lami kan-an sa cebu nga barato ra (golden cowrie group for example). pero wa ko mupila kay nakakaon naman kog kenny sa baguio sa cliente pa nako ang mga aboitiz. nipila ra pud ko uroy pero sajo pa, kanang wa pay pila before ko niuli sa bohol adtong mga panahona.

another case is the yellow cab in banilad town center. diri pila jud ko. pero karun wa nay pila. wa man langawa toud pero gamay ra jud tawo. in fairness pud sa yellow cab, naa na silay branches run sa cebu city.

kay pareho ra man sila ug tumong ug tuyo. kay na katoliko na man ang mga igorot, so karun ang ilang gipasalamatan sa maayong ani ang Ginoo na, dili na mga anito ug anita.

we have our ways of thanking God for the blessings that He continually showered us in our lives. kung magtuwad2 sila, let them be. kung musayaw pareha sa sulog, so be it. what matters is that in our hearts, we are giving thanks to God almighty.

the origin is of no significance other than history.

Leo, I would greatly appreciate if you would cover the Garcia Hernandez Philippine Sinter aftermath. If you would conduct a documentary and interviews of the affected residents and what happens after 30 years and what will happen after completion of it's contract 70 years from now, who have profited, is there any benefit, etc. This is a good example.

Interesting ni nga topic sir.  I have friends who are either connected to the company as employees, landowners or just plain residents (and their sons/daughters) of the town.

Everytime magbaha sa garcia, the garcianhons would easily put the plame on the mining company. ang mga employees nga mga garcianhon muingon pud nga before pa natukod ang mining company, sige nag baha diha sa garcia!

Pit Senyor!

Calle,  BUSINESS IS ALWAYS A BUSINESS.

Noted. Even the so-called Corporate Social Responsibility is geared to benefit the business of their empires.

But i reiterate my suggestion above to ask personalities concerned how the entrance fees came about.

Thanks! (wala koy source diri man gud)

bangaa oi:

CONstant CHAnge!

meaning, CONching for governor and CHAtto for vice governor?

GO GO GO

governor: it could be chatto or ceasar
vice-governor: conching

Thanks God Conching is in!

i visited the balay sa humay in batuan last december 2008.

the origin of the name goes like this:
sa panahon sa japanese occupation, the place we now called behind the clouds was where boholano guerillas had their camp. they named it behind the clouds as a trick to japanese armies so that when the latter asks the whereabouts of the camp, the guerilla's filipino comrades will say, "there, behind the clouds"

KUDOS!

LOL

ask the residents if they're happy about it...

with all due respect el mundo, the abovequoted posting sounds loaded. i mean, there's someting about it that could reasonably put someone in fire.

anyway, what i read in the national dailies was that the show was for free.  i suggest we ask the organizers/LGU who mandated the collection of entrance fees.

P.S. i doubt the Ayalas have anything to do about it. (more so me) lol 

unja kumot-kumoton ang nilusak grazie! grrhhh

sige, kung unsa man gani, maminaw na lang sa ta unsa buhaton sa contractor sa agora para maka-act ta. pero kung naa unta makapangutana sa contractor mas mau para maka-act dayon ta.

Kudos grazie!

The above provision provides that NO LAW shall be passed granting titles of royalty or nobility.

This means that titles of royalty or nobility may be had as long as the same was conferred by any other means except by law.

Ergo, since it is the people of Sulu/tradition that grants the title to its Sultan, the foregoing cannot be said to be in contravention of the aforequoted provision of the 1987 Constitution.

Mao na atong buhaton sugod karon.

Maghimo ta ug thread to praise our people who did some good jobs. Kay mao na kasagaran ang mahitabo sa atong mga katawhan. They only criticize a lot and i never heard much any appreciation sa mga kaajohan nga ilang nadawat.

Most are people only are very grateful when they receive a gift (material). A simple good action (preha sa testimony ni Bolingiton) is more than a great gift that needs to be appreciated and praise.

good idea mdb. actually, i tried to search for the letter of a negrense haciendero to the editors of Philippine Daily Inquirer. the sender is a scion of the old rich and mighty of negros occidental. the letter was about his appeal to other members of the family who are now residing in the US to distribute their hacienda to the tillers/tenants of their plantation. hope to find the letter soon para maipost ko. kinda pa busy pa though.

just keep posted folks.

its a  good addition to the city's coffee shops! sila ba ang tag-iya sa jojies bakeshop kanang dapit sa national highway (im not sure kung mansasa ba na or bool) padung baclayon?

regarding sa mga tanum, mau unta matinood. pwede man siguro tb mag-put up but its the developer's responsibility. anyway, kung dili sya magtanum didto, mag-adopt a tree program na lang ang city. and i suggest that tb members will set-up a fund para na tay maadopt. to put in action sad ang ato mga suggestions.

ang tinoud nga nagpakabana, dili mahuman ang ang iyang mga damgo ug pangandoy sa ijang baba.

Naunsa kaha ang fiesta sa amoa dihas sabado? Wa bay nakauli sa Valencia na pwede magpost ug pictures diri?

Filipinos are still the Philippine's best hope

korekik! mau unta renegade butangan nilag mga tanum para murag makaginhawa sad ta sa centro sa city kay puro buildings.

ala greenbelt ang effect ba.

that's what they taught in schools kiam. but records and research reveal otherwise.

The root cause of social conflict in Mindanao is not only the current social system and structure but historical in nature.  When the Spaniards conquered the Philippines centuries back, they claimed de juri  (legal) government in the entire of the Philippines including Mindanao where they were unsuccessful in their military and political campaign because of the resilience of the Muslims and the Lumads. 

Their de facto ( factual) government was only true in Luzon , Visayas and Northern Mindanao.  Evidence of this are the churches build by the friars.

I have taught in Ateneo de Davao University in Mindanao for two years, and I had very diverse students coming from different tribes in Davao, Chinese Filipinos and of course Muslims.  It was even peculiar to see a Muslim student wearing a catholic uniforn while wearing a headscarf. 

My students had harmonious relationship with each other.  Religion was never an issue and religious tolerance and respect was prevalent.  The school is a microcosm of the society where we live in, they say.  If this was achieved in the university, there is a good possibility that this can be realized in the outside society.

The problem in Mindanao, is not only separatism but social injustice.  Land grabbing is pervasive in several places.  Even the Manobo in Bukidnon were at danger to be displaced from their ancestral domain because of land grabbing.

The situation is complex.  There are no concrete measures as to resolve the worsening conflict there.  More so, that politics came in.

True. Ang "ilaga" bitaw ingnun man nila nga "ilongo land grabbers assoc"

suko nas kiamoy! basin kuan kiam, kanang kuan.
