Bohol cops: region’s best

TOPPING over all Central Visayas’ provincial and city cops, Bohol Police Provincial Office (BPPO) reaped an average of 71.6% for seven indicators to claim the accolade as the region’s best.

Police Provincial Director, PSSupt. Edgardo Ingking said their efforts have finally paid off pointing out that his men have relentlessly pursued efforts in the maintaining peace and order and internal security operations with an emphasis on comprehensive community-based anti-crime campaign plan familiarly known as OPLAN “Sumpo Krimen.”

Not wanting to grab the limelight alone, the Bohol chief also credited the coordination, support and collaboration of local government units and the other pillars of the criminal justice system, the AFP and the Boholano community in general, for the feat.

BPPO capped the highest rating after the Police Regional Office-7 and the Philippine National Police conducted the Unit Performance Evaluation in 2008 through an annual inspection.

During the PRO-7 inspection, Bohol’s police performance average topped others in personnel management and human resource development, intelligence, operations, logistics, police community relations, comptrollership and investigation and detective management, sources from Camp Sergio Osmena in Cebu City bared.

After BPPO, Negros Oriental garnered 71.60%, Cebu City; 69.21%, Cebu Province; 68.68%, Mandaue City; 67.81% and Siquijor; 65.70%.

Working some more for better services, PSSupt. Ingking said they would launch a monthly forum to maximize information on police programs, projects and activities.

The forum, billed as Talakayan sa Isyung Pulis (TSIP) Bohol would be launched this Wednesday at the Philippine Information Agency Conference Hall at the LMP Building, K of C Drive at 3:00 PM.

“We are inviting all media practitioners to partner with us in providing timely and regular information about the PNP as well as clarify issues and concerns in line with the PNP policies and hopefully engage stakeholders to actively participate in crime prevention and control” Ingking’s media invitation reads.

Talk of the Town / Re: Helmet as a Protection?
March 05, 2009, 10:03:56 AM
There's nothing wrong with getting flagged down because you do not wear a helmet, after all, it is a national law you are viiolating.

What is wrong is that you have bought a thousand peso helmet because you could save a lot from hospitalization bills, funeral bills, and then you realize you could not find those deputized agents you wished should sustain the drive to raise the bar of road safety here.

I mean, two days they are on the streets and then they disappear only to pop up, (like nasty ads on your page)  exactly two days or a day before the 15th or 30th paydays.

Isnt this a fantastic coincidence? What kind of protection are we talking about here?   ::)

I have never heard the theory that there is a connection between Timori and Eskayan! This is something that I should test since my dissertation is on the Eskayan language.
So, anybody reading this thread - please help! I would like to chart this on a map of Bohol.

To any Boholano reading this, please tell me:
1. What is your birthplace?
2. Did you ever use Timori growing up?

Just reply to this message! When I finish the Timori map I will send out the link!

(PS. I have much to say about Eskaya and the hoax claims which I think could answer most people's questions. But for now, I'm too interested in Timori to comment here)

I am from Cortes, in Bohol. I used to hear my uncles, at least two of them, communicate in TIMORI. My mother also knows it, i just dont know if she could still speak it right now.

I used to know about a sandbar in Talibon, i think it's Mahaba Island now, which was christened by an NGO group as Tirot. It should sound editable in the Cebuano. Hmm

nganong gitugutan man sa mga taga Talibon ang kuhaan sila og BALAS, angay unta og wala sila nisugot kay bahandi gud na nila unya ipanghatag nalang diay.

Hmm, again we would like to reiterate here, nobody would ever allow it to happen. But it would be too bad if, for convenience sake, wed again blame the government, who, we know has been riddled with inefficiency despite its apparent attempt to plug its holes.

In the case of Talibon, or Getafe, or Inabanga, Buenavista, or Clarin (all have complained about losing islets or sandbars in teh last decades, it should be known that the poachers really play catch and mouse here. The islets off Bohol's northern side again prove to be a convenient hideaway to poachers who illegally haul sand, in PUMPBOATS, to sell them to Mactan beach resorts.

Look at what happened to Macalingao Islet (sandbar) in Clarin, now under  three feet of water.

In early 1990's, i witnessed two barge-ful load of sand from Anda which were supposedly hauled for Cebu beaches again. It was caught and has to be impounded.

We are still struggling to abate all these blatant attempts. In the age of cellular connection, we deem it easy, convenient and practical if people who see any of these attempts to just text or call their authorities? Barangay Captains are now a text away, and they all have the most direct responsibility to stop all these, them being the guardians of the resources at their immediate disposal.

I would rather suggest that people keep their barangay captain's mobile number and one from the Camp dagohoy Police hotline. Its 09209106240.

Your help is all we need.

Bohol awes Aussie TV

AWESOME.

This sums up the impression of the directors and television crew of Video Australia who came in to shoot footages of Bohol and the Philippines for a travel segment to be shown in the continent down under.

The team composed of Rusty Cage Productions managed by Estee Wallace was sent by the Department of Tourism to help promote the country, including Bohol to Australians and Micronesians reached by the Australian broadcast.

Segment director Alexander Begetis and cameraman Andrew Grant had the time of their lives composing spectacular shots of Bohol as TV segment presentor and Hollywood star Morgan Burrett couldn’t stop commenting his amazement of the quaint province with astounding destinations.     

The television team and crew came to film Bohol and the Philippines for a month-long series on Philippine and Bohol scenic spots and wonders, explained Estee Wallace as the crew arrived at the city airport Saturday last week.

The film output would be a month-long presentation in a series the wonders of the Philippines and would be coming out in October this year over Australian Channel 10, adds Begetis, in a casual talk with the media.

In Bohol, the team however missed the dolphin and whale watching trip as the crew refused to risk the equipment on the scheduled date because of a squall brought about by low hanging clouds around Pamilacan.

The group went to shoot segments of the show at the Chocolate Hills, in the ricefields of Batuan, the man-made forest of Loboc and Bilar, the church in Loboc and Tagbilaran, the floating restaurants, the rustic roads in Cambanac and the tarsiers in Corella.

Moreover, Bohol has been hosting promotional film and television crews in government cooperative efforts to make the island a top eco-cultural tourism destination in the country.

Many people here believe that eco-cultural tourism is viable as it has moved the province out of poverty in past decade.

Hosting the crew for Bohol were the provincial government, Angels’ Wings Tour and Travel, Amarela Resort, J4 Tours and Transport and Bohol tour-guides Chito Vaño with another KABO guide.

About Portrait Photography 101



There are not many aspects of photography that have a specific focal length you should try to shoot with, but luckily portrait photography is one of them. Most pros shoot portraits with a short zoom lens, and one of their favorite focal lengths is the 85-100mm range. In fact, telephoto lenses in the 85-100mm range are often called portrait lenses because they let you shoot from a good working distance (10 to 12 feet from your subject, giving you and your subject some breathing room, while letting you still fill the frame with your subject), but more importantly, shooting with focal lengths between 85mm and 100mm eliminates the unflattering facial distortion wide-angle lenses are notorious for, while avoiding the compression long telephoto lenses give. Some portrait pros swear that the 85mm focal length is the portrait sweet spot, and others swear by 100mm, but that's the kind of thing pros debate in online forums all day long (and you can try both with your zoom lens and choose the one you like best, because they both give a pleasing perspective for portraits). Another reason these short zoom lenses are ideal is because you won't have to pick up your tripod and move it (or your model) each time you need to slightly recompose the shot. So, get yourself a zoom lens that covers the 85-100mm range, and you're good to go.


nice of you to share such a perfect advice Jer, thanks

The retablo mayor or main altar in Baclayon is one fine art that has not been fairly dated. For a church that was started in 1596 and completed in 1725, we can just assume that the altar was built sometime between 1725-1800.

In the beginning to the middle of the 17th century, baroque art flourished in Europe, a movement that would be a common channel for the Europeans to "protest" the new knowledge that science has put up; knowledge basically contrary to the common belief.

Baroque art, characterized by the flowery movements in designs and balanced composition is best exemplified by the Baclayon retablo, in fact the whole art piece in the 6o-ft or so altar is an untoward mixture of the baroque and the later European rococo.

The best thing, the Baclayon retablo is carved wood and later plated or more aptly gilt in pure gold.

How is that? Remember early Christians assembling in very dark rooms? It was also done in Baclayon. Their biggest problem then is how to show an artpiece in the altar when it cant be seen in the dark? The answer was quite simple. When gold glitters well in the dark, the answer was right there before them.

The whole altar was then gilt in gold, my sources from the National Museum roughly estimates the altar valued between P400 to P500M.
#260
What saddens me though is the fact that a church with a ceiling lavishly decorated like that is paired with the modern altar set.

Murag gakalibanga, as in di jud makaralate ang marble cross sa baroque ug rococo art sa ceilings. Naa kahay taga Tubigin nga artistic enough to do something about a restoration sa ilang altar nga wala koy kasayuran ug asa na? ayo na lang pug wa to isugnod.

Only the living veterans can avail the lumpsum benefits.

It is unjust.


Does it mean that the living veterans are more heroes because they are still alive today? They fought for the same cause. The dead veterans will be more remembered if their surviving spouse and children will also receive the same benefit.

Does it mean that because the surviviors could not get the veteran's benefit, he is remembered less?

Personally, i could help less a dead veteran, the living ones who need most help needs the benefit more than the siblings of dead veterans who have survived eversince sans the benefit.

In my opinion, the relative's pursuit of the benefits just shows how we have degraded the way veterans and patriots fought to defend, not for the heck of the lumpsum they could get, but for the sublime aim of making freedom reign.

What is unfair for me is when, knowing that the government is still riddled with the corruption we could not erase in our lifetime, dispersing the "money" to the "claimants other than those who deserve them most" would necessarilly depreciate the good a bonafide veteran can get. Lets just not count the bogus "relatives" and kamag-anak incorporated who would kill to get the lion's share.

Umm, question's too tricky.

Personally, its beyong comparison.

I usually go to the Chocolate Hills both in Sagbayan and at the Geologic Monument Viewdeck everyweek for several reasons.

I guide tourists as a local tour guide.

I always present the Chocolate Hills as the peak of all the wonders in Bohol, one that would literally overwhelm the senses when you see not just one or ten, but thousands of con-shaped hills.

When in this mood, Sagbayan peak is the last place id go.

For foreign tourists who would be awe at the awesome wonder of creation especially when they see that they are amidst the sea of hill, its euphopria.

For local tourists whose idea of a destination is lots and lotc of concrete structures, Holly wood and Disnetland, the Sagbayan Peak of the Hills fits them.

Too bad, domestic tourism is still dictated by a lot of people whose idea of torusim is essentially based on that.

You dont expect foreign tourists to appreciate buidlings and man-made structures at the Peak. And i tell them, they could easilly find things like those without leaving their countries. In fact, they can easilly, i mean no sweat, make things superior to the craftmanship of the guys who sculpted the dinasaurs and ms monroe or disney's cinderalla at the peak.

Bringing foreign tourists at the Choco Hills in Carmen is just the right cap for foreign tourists in  Bohol.

i read somewhere (it could have been an item from the bohol chronicle) not too long ago that at 450 meters long, the zip line that is being installed in the municipality of danao is reportedly the longest zipline in the country... well, i think boholanos had better check their facts and figures and be sure about making claims like that because it might cause them embarrasment... there's this existing facility in davao city which has a zipline that is 200 meters high and 1,000 meters (1 kilometer) long. it goes very fast that can be compared to the speed of a race car: 1 kilometer in about 20 seconds. that fast. fee is Php 300 per person flat rate. FYI

tHE dANAO consultant, a guy who also put up Camp Sabros, Sacdalan is sure that the Bohol Zipline is still the country's longest.

While Davao and you may mean Kapatagan Valley's Sabros Camp or Matina's Eden puts up the "you called 1,000 meter zipline" the measurement is for the two lines going on both directions. That is in fact less than a kilometer in lenght compared to the 550 meter one way line in Danao.

You are also assured of another 550 meters on your way back when you get to Bohol's line.

Camp Sabros or Eden in Matina could not beat Bohol's zipline in Danao.   That is not false pride.

Apo, do you think Yoyoy did not get the recognition he deserves as a Boholano or a Filipino artist?

Personally, i think an artists greatest recognition is the fact that "people" see his works as one which evokes and stirs one's inner emotions.

In other works, Yoyoy's novelty songs live lives of their own and has become almost like the Boholano pambansang kantagayan. This is a recognition no government body can ever argue.

Hinuon, mas maayo if hed be given a post humous award from creditable organizations.

Ang "Butchiki" (unsay saktong spelling?) maoy kanta ni Yoyoy nga wa juy message. Did you know naay recorded version ang world-reknown Madrigal Singers? Gi-perform ni nila during one of their European tours, ug pwerting lingawa sa audience! There is also one song of his nga wa poy message, although naay gamay nga Binisaya. Nakalimot na ko sa title ani, but I remember this was used during our Grade IV entrance march for a mass dance (field demonstration). Here are a few lines:

Motchokoy sprikiti kaguykoy sprikiti rikitoy rikiti rikitoy
Singharoy aguruy agukoy 2x
Motchokoy sprikiti kaguykoy sprikiti rikitoy rikiti rikitoy
Singharoy hoy hoy, singharoy hoy hoy, butangi kay gatutoy!
Mutchura kuringutay . . . (forget na ko unsay sunod)
Bunzu ngari bunzu ngari
Butangi kay gabitay!


       

Buchiki was a song he admittedly composed, as he was inspired while riding on a DMTC bus from Marikina to Chinatown.
While whiling time away glancing at the steam coming off the hood of the yellow bus and the steam from the asphalt roads leading to ChinaTown, reading the names of the business establishments got his fancy. It was the only creative thing he could indulge in.
So you would cease to wonder how the hell he got those lyrics, he got it that way. I tried going the same way, via the DMTC and some of the lyrics er, the stores and shops in the song are still there. Not in the proper order though.

Di ba Koy? hehehe

unsay latest nimu diha sa dagan sa pamolitika sa ato?
People here await in anticipation when Edgar Chatto declares his candidacy, or not , this Saturday, his birthday. I surely wont be there, dont wanna know if i am wrong with my forecast. Huhuhu.

There's talk about Padre Ondoy Cajes willing to partner with either Edgar or an opposition candidate for vice guv. Unconfirmed pa hinuon ang rumor nga giadto na niya si Edgar.

Sa City, its still Dan Lim over Toto Veloso or Pureza Chatto. Rene may join to make it a steamy hot fight, though i dont know if from Loay, Rene would again bundle his war chest and relocate. Unsa siya, wandering Jew?

Loon - Bohol / Loon's Anti-Rabies Advocates
February 17, 2009, 05:25:38 PM
Loon mulls medi-care
members for anti-rab


ANTI-rabies advocates in exchange for medical health insurance, you bet.

While spending a sizable budget for medical health care (Medicare) insurance assistance, Loon Mayor Lloyd Peter Lopez figured out he could also ask a payback from his constituents.

In a PowerPoint presentation to Asian group visiting Bohol to study the province-wide anti-rabies prevention and eradication program implementation, Mayor Lopez bared the plan to engage more of his people to respond to the threat.

Lopez, who is also a physician by profession said the town has practically been alarmed by the unusually high population of stray dogs in his town, some canines taking their posts at key municipal hall alleys.

Loon was once of the first few Bohol towns that wholeheartedly adopted the campaign ahead, the mayor cognizant that he ought to have a head start.

Loon has got the most number of barangays in Bohol at 67, and in an anti-rabies saturation drive, local officials would need all the time they can get.

From an initial budget of P10T, Loon upped the anti-rabies fund to P90T the following year, the mayor reported in an apparent move to show the conviction of local officials about the threat.

Despite starting ahead, while many Loon residents expect a down in reported bite cases, the town registered almost double bite cases last year.

To this, Dr. Lopez attributed to the awareness people now reporting dog bite cases to get the vaccination, rather than getting traditional remedies instead.

Putting up a gallant stand against the magnanimous challenge of getting Loon Rabies Free by 2010, and with the lack of manpower to campaign for responsible dog ownership, the town dad has proposed getting the help from indigent insurance beneficiaries.

The move also earned the nod of Asian study tour group members noting that creative ways of getting to the aim of ridding the risk of rabies should not be limited to fund scarcity.

Along with Mayor Lopez, also presenting local experience was San Isidro’s municipal agricultural officer and Dr. Stella Marie Lapiz for the provincial rabies prevention and eradication program.

Rabies lessons in school
earn Asian admiration

FROM Bohol’s smallest town comes the biggest snap in rabies prevention.
 
And visiting Asian learners who saw rabies disease prevention and control topics incorporated in the school curricula agree it is a pro-creative way of engaging the children in a war against a silent killer.

Asian visitors from neighboring countries watched school children in Corella Elementary School bark and yelp answers when teachers randomly picked on them. Instead of picking ordinary sentences as motivation, teachers leashed their discussions on rabies.

Asian learners watched in Bohol the pilot implementation of a province-wide disease-control program for rabies and hopes to possibly craft a template for emulation by other areas still plagued by the disease.

The Department of Education has piloted rabies education in Corella in response to the Bohol Rabies Prevention and Eradication Council (BRPEC) request to get an information campaign program started early.

With school children at risk, Corella principal Dolores Cuizon told visitors that rabies discussion in classes may be incorporated in English, Mathematics and Science.

In Corella, the classes were each handled by Mrs. Ma. Lourdes Lupase for Grade V, Mrs. Fernanda Ribay for Grade VI and Ms. Priscilla Kae Penales for Grade 2.

Visitor veterinarians and policy decision makers from China, Japan, Cambodia, Laos, South Korea as well as representatives from the United Nations also agree that early rabies lessons would predispose children to be responsible pet owners and keep away from the risk of rabies.

The previous day before the visit to the school, Provincial veterinarian Dr. Stella Marie Lapiz reiterated during the program Orientation that sustainability of the program would entail the collaborative efforts of all Boholanos.

The Bohol Rabies Prevention and Eradication Program aimed at making Bohol rabies free by 2010.

Governor Erico Aumentado has said that Bohol could not stand the risk of rabies especially with the dream of making Bohol a top tourism destination in the country.

As such, while he unleashed the BRPEC to oversee the provincial program, he also asked for counterpart funds from the Capitol to lend the program its bite.

The Council also mobilized Boholano sectors to initiate a massive dog registration and vaccination drive followed by neutering or elimination of stray and unwanted dogs.

Corollary programs for monitoring and surveillance, putting up animal bit treatment centers and convincing politicians to fund the programs sprung the program to action.

Recently, the campaign also earned allies with Alliance for Rabies Control, a Scottish NGO put up multi-million funds for a 4-year program implementation. This too was after the UN aided Bohol with initial funds to start the program running for the whole province.
