Actually, if you saw the MTV of the Yellow Submarine, the submarine is actually flying, not floating.

It is only natural for you people from Northern hemisphere to crave for carbs. Your body needs heat for the long Winter.

Pero ang resulta, mang dagko ang inyong mga booty. Hehehe

Sorry for reviving this very insatiable thread once more.

I have a very yucky experience at the chocolate hills at my younger age. We were sliding by the hill, riding a coconut branch (palwa) when I felt something wet at my back.

"It is Human Igit painted all over my back til my hair, yuck". Naa pa gyod daghan un-digested nga liso sa bayabas, murag binangkal.

The sad part is there is no water to wash. I have to walk 2 kilometers for the nearest water.

So, this thread reminds me of two Beatle Songs "Fool on the Hill" & "Yellow Submarine".

Leo, my daughter looks pretty much like Mari. Pero mas saka pa siya kaayo ug kilay, natural kilay.

Hangyoon ko ang mga balili nga sapnayon

kansang tubod maoy yamog sa bulak
nga atong gipuy-an ug gihimong gingharian.

Akong na imagine nga nag "Bayanihan" ang mga balili (nagdayong). Unya mi singgit ang usa ka balili "uno, dos, banat ginamos!". Abutan ug pila ka lakang may mi singgit na sab nga usa ka balili "hunong sa pre kay kapoy na, mo tagay una ta ug tuba!"

You said it all Mari.

I just remembered something about common bisayan Hairstyles:

Leo,

Even if I am away in Bohol for a long time, I keep track of beauty pageants which peaked on Ms. Igpit in 2006 and with a sudden nose dive this year by cancelation of Miss Sandugo.

However, hope lies within us my fellow advocates. Maybe not soon but someday and I can hear the drum rolling in near future.

To prove my enthusiasm, I keep my 8 year old daughter prepared for the ripe time as leo said 10 years from now. I built her to represent Bohol, talent wise, beautywise, physique wise & brainwise. I spent my extra earnings for her piano, dance and voice lessons. This is the real essence of "Year's of Preparation" as I mentioned previously, maybe in this thread or parallel thread.

If the past committee is incapable of managing the next event, then better give others a change to handle it.

Cge Miss Bambi,

you can abuse me too,

You gurlz can spank me too.

I don't mean the Femdom thing ha. Just kidding, haha.

Aha! I have a good idea.

With the aid of a microscope, I could produce a version of Reality TV’s “Cheaters â€" Caspa Edition” or “Desperate Caspa wives”.

Ma'am C2H4, my apologies.  I did not intend anything offensive by it.  My understanding of biga is that it is not gender-specific.

Who knows, maybe both females or both males.

"I have a lesbian and gay caspa".

Bambi, Scratch-scratch-scratch, di-a na pud mi katol na pud akong caspa.“Hoy! Wala pa mo mahuman diha?”

I have one question: Mo tubo ba pod ang kaspa diha sa Pubic Area?

I find this topic very funny and can't control laughing alone like crazy.

So, after scratching your head from a very itchy dandruff, you may shout "Mga Uwagan!".

My apologies to the writer, but can't help to comment negatively on the above news report. It is vague/misleading and composition is very poor.

I don't say I am a writer, but such poorly written report in a public paper is unacceptable and could affect the Boholano image.

Mike’s grievance and claims that the quality of our English education is diminishing has been proven once more.

Ngilngig kaayo.

Sa binul-anon, "Ngig-ngig jamo' an".

This unsanitary toilet story ruins my sanity.

Maybe the 3-in-1 balong-balong of Balong, which includes a bedroom, toilet and dinning area in one.

Maybe the one and only sound proof toilet of Balong, to avoid detection from imigration agents.

I thought this topic is related to "The one and only story of Balong".

I agree with you Mr. Benelyne that the havoc is caused by 1 rotten apple that spoiled the whole basket. It is the desperation by the government to export quantity, not quality workforce. Some are even below the legal working age.

What outraged me the most are the ones who are indirectly stripping away the fibers of our dignity as Filipinos, such as professionals/teachers deployed as maids. In the case of Japan, the ones who earned good money by just exposing some skin. I am not referring to professional dancers and singers as they have talents to be proud of.

They are the majority who usually go into trouble with foreign law. However, we should not discriminate them as they are part of us. They are also heroes, in any way has contributed to our economy. They are just humans buying their way out of poverty in pursuit to happiness.

Welcome back my friend, my brother.

No amount of pleasing words from friends can heal the grief, but healing should come form inside of you. I suggest writing poetry is very soothing and would release all your tension.

Hope your mother is OK. Is your sister with her now? Incase she visits Tagbilaran, let her come to our house beside cocacola for some rest. I am sure she would enjoy talking with my mother who is a non-stop talker.

I can not allow such stupid fate to happen in our beloved Bohol waters.

We must stop oil drilling plan in our beautiful sea before it is too late.

Only corporations and corrupt officials who approved it will benefit, while our main livelihood (fishing & tourism industry) is exposed to such risk.

Believe me, I was jailed twice in Saudi Arabia, just for a minor traffic violation. The problem is that once you are inside, you are practically isolated from the outside world and you can not seek for a lawyer's help. Except if your employer is a prominent company or a royal family.

Actually, what Amb. Villamor & Lab. Att. Dicang are doing now is a sign of progress.

Since we are in this hostile country, we have this mind-set of acceptance for the inevitable consequence. Forced to migrate due to our frail economy.

We OFW's are the main export of our country. Our hard earned dollars/remittances is the main fuel to keep our economy afloat. Sadly, the recent strength of the peso vs. the dollar translates to 20% reduction to the exchange rate, thus 20% reduction to our salary.

As discussed in another poll "Sweden's comments over OFW", that sending citizens to work abroad due to ailing economy is not for long term. As what Sweden did, revenues from these remitances were being utilized to fund feasible investments/industry by their government. It is the seed that branched out into a big tree and their nation benefited from its fruit. However, first thing we must do is to sweep away corruption, to do a massive overhaul, a social revolution to replace all deffective components within our government.

We OFW's if united has the power to make things happen. We are superior in many aspects than our Philippine counterparts. We have a plan.

Mr Macky, kanang happiness nga kalibutanon, that's subject to the law of diminishing returns. I love chocolate cake, it makes me happy. But 2 slices max is about all I can take in one sitting, that's my "happiness ceiling". Now, will it make me happier if I eat the whole cake? or 2? or 3 cakes? Pareha ra pud na sa kuarta, there's a certain ceiling for everyone, after which, extra money won't really make that much of a difference. Motuo jud ko anang hierarchy of needs (Abraham Maslow), when we've fulfilled all our needs, that'll make for a happy existence, and anything extra is just a bonus.

One of my fantasy to be happy is to be imortal and to conquer all fear. It sounds crazy, but somehow, this subconcious needs managed to grasp and control a bit of my reality.

I also believed that everything in this world is utility, including money. You can not find happiness in a utility. Happiness is only found within you.

It is not shameful to proclaim that we Filipinos can not speak English perfectly. It is the truth. However, speech is only a skill like singing or dancing, and not necessarily a manifestation of intelligence. Yet, I am certain that we Filipinos are among the highly intelligent race in this planet.

Simply, we are Filipinos with our hard tongues. We speak our own language, we have our own identity. We may not be perfect in terms of communication skills, but in comprehension, we are.

Sadly, the Americans, the people we Filipinos regard to as icons of intellegence and perfect society is dumbing down. Ref: http://www.digitaldivide.net/news/view.php?HeadlineID=241

I am proud of being Filipino, a royal race and not a decendant of some violent wild west.

Hi Guys,

I was one day late. It seems I am hibernating from TB due to my heavy work load (it is forecast time again in our company).

I laughed at GEC's description of Sigbin as ‘Optimus Prime’ which is near to exact. Just last night I was playing the PS II version of Transformers with my son. Judging from the facial expression of Sigbin, I could predict his future as a tough lawyer or perhaps a judge 'pohon'. For me he looks more like 'Jagernaut' of the X-men. Delaguna had his composure maintained as being a public figure. But I know inside of him is playing rock n roll. He is good in containing himself.

You girls were terrific!    "Ala Charlie's Angels" local version. However, four of you looks like Lucy Liu, all Asian.

Mike, why have you not told me in advance. Just yesterday, I called my mother and told her that you would soon visit our house. She is always ready to prepare something. My mother is a good cook. My child GEC, why you did not send me an email about this EB. Remember what we have agreed?

So, maybe next time pohon, I could join you.

I was trying to find an article which I kept some years back. It was about two mathematicians who made a formula on how to determine the amount of happiness and convert it in money value. Like for example how much is the happiness you gain from staying in a 5 star hotel compared to a 4 star hotel. Then you will know if the money you spent is worth the happiness you gained.

I forgot where I saved that article.

Further, here are the questions: What Bill Gates is up to with all the money he got. Does he care about it? He is saving his money for what? Did he realize that even if he would party every hour in fabulous hotel, he would die of old age before he could consume all of it. Then what is his point of being a workaholic and avoid fun? Who are the heirs & heiress of this money?

Everyone is unique and if you put a value on every unique details that you have, you can be as rich as Bill Gates.

For me, my kids are my most valuable possession and they are worth all the money in the world, including those under production. Probably the length of that money would reach pluto or perhaps planet X and back.

1. Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that's about US$20
Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR! .
________________________________________________________
2. If he drops a thousand dollar, he won't even bother to pick
it up bcoz the 4 seconds he picks it, he would've already earned
it back.
_______________________________________________________
3. The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion, if
Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in
less then 10 years.
_________________________________________________
4. He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left
with US$5 Million for his pocket money.
___________________________________________________
5. Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US.
If he doesn't drink and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e.
US$30 Million, he'll have to wait for 277 years to become as
rich as Bill Gates is now.
_______________________________________________
6. If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest
country on earth.
______________________________________________
7. If you change all of Bill Gate's money to US$1 notes, you can
make a road from earth to moon, 14 times back and forth. But you
have to make that road non-stop for 1,400 years, and use a total
of 713 BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money.
______________________________________________________
8. Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he will live
for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to
finish all his money before he can go to heaven.
_____________________________________________________
Last but not the least:
If Microsoft Windows' users can claim US$1 for every time their
computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be
bankrupt in 3 years!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the moral lesson from the last one after no.8 : "It takes a lot of effort and pride to inflate a big baloon, but you just need a little pin to blow it to pieces".

I don't believe Bill Gates is a genius. It is our fear of having without, that made Bill Gates filthy rich.

Daghang salamat Bisyantek, nga pinaagi sa imong ka hanas sa pagsulat, naisabwag sa kadaghanan ang tumong ug tingoha sa among kahugpongan nga ginganlan ug BOWACCC.

Among gi isip nga dakong utang kabubot-on ug kini usa sa naghatag kanamo ug kalampusan.

Tingali nahisulat kini sa libro sa kaparan nga kitang tulo ni Mike magkahimamat dinhi sa Tubag Bohol. Nahinumdom ako nga ang BOWACCC mi hatag ug hinabang sa usa ka panghitabo nga diin may mga bata nga nahilo sa Balanghoy ug wala nako dahuma nga si Mike Ligalig diay ang nagsulat sa maong balita, niadtong kawani pa siya sa Bohol Chronicle.

Padayon sa imong mabolokon nga pag-ugmad sa pinolongang Binisaya.

Condolences for this temporary loss. We all shall see each other again on the day of judgement.

The only way to ease the pain is to accept the truth. God is good, He had given your father a time of repentance and I am certain your father is now with the force. God has given both of you, father and son, a time to bid farewell.

Through Christ our saviour. Amen.

I remembered when I was in second year high school, our religion teacher Mr. Roberto Apat told us about his father who suffered from throat cancer and died.

Mr. Apat told us that he is certain his father will go to heaven because any person who experience pain will surely call the Lord and ask forgiveness.

Don't worry Mike, your father is with the force.

Words of comfort from the D' Fernizes.

Yes, botox is a form of toxin to kill nerves and avoid wrinkles, but the part injected will become numb.

I am curious about the G-spot Amplification. Maybe if the G-spot is amplified, it would give a woman multiple orgasms.

Grabe, erotic na man kining atong ginahisgotan.

Probably the Katunggan and the payaos. Hunasan in Mangga is a perfect place for photography because it is in "U" shape and facing the sunset. The manggrove forest would be spectacular on a golden sunset.

Thanks Grazie,

There is something I would like to add and it is the difference between a cooperative and a corporation. They may have many things in common, but let me enumerate on the aspects where they greatly differ.

In a corporation, the one who has the biggest share has voice and owns the biggest vote by the board; i.e. in SMC, Soriano owns the biggest share; hence he is the President.

While in a cooperative, we have a one member, one vote system. During the general assembly/election, each member regardless of his share is entitled to a 1 vote. Hence, even if you have Php100,000 worth of shares and I have only Php3,000 (minimum share to be a member), we have equal voting power.

Hence, if you display a good character with genuine intentions, there is a possibility for you to become one of the Board Members during election (if you have many fans). In a cooperative, there is no discrimination on gender, age or religion.

Further, in a corporation, the revenues of the company will be shared only among incorporators.

While in a cooperative, the net profit of each year shall be shared by all members, in a form of dividend, which is in proportion to his/her capital share.

Moreover, if you avail a loan, you will be entitled to what is called a "patronage refund". A patronage refund is a portion of your loan revenues, returned back to you.

To explain further, if you avail a loan from any bank, the revenues from that loan will go to the bank. While in a cooperative a portion of that revenue mo balik ra nimo as patronage refund.

Moreover, all our transactions in a cooperative is "tax free". While if we build a corporation, the BIR is always on the lookout to take a big bite of your revenues.

There are more technical information I would like to share with you in due course.

Moreover, I want to add something about the Raffia waving cooperative in Tubigon and Inabangga.

Success won't happen overnight. They started from Php 5,000 capital and for 13 years they nurtured this cooperative until it grew this big. I mean that's a lot of perseverance and dedication.

This is just an example and a source of inspiration, that if these simple housewives did it on limited resources, how much more if we "overseas workers" with vast resources worldwide would pull together.

Thanks Grazie for your inquiry.

Pre-membership seminar is just a formality. They character of the person is what we value the most. If you happen to be in Bohol, you may take the pre-membership seminar at our H.O. in Calceta St., where the main topic of the seminar is the bylaws.

But, since we are scattered around the world, one may just open the website and read the articles of cooperativism and bylaws. Once you have digested the topics that is considered as taking the seminar.

Moreover, our policy is not simply accepting any member, but we have to look into the character and sincerity of each applicant.

Bisyantek,

Dugay-dugay na ko nga wala maka du-aw sa balak portion tungod sa kadaghan sa akong tulomanon isip amahan. Napasmo, nangluspad ug niwang sa kagutom.

Busa mi hukad sa bahaw nga pan-os. Gi bahog ug gi higop apan natuk-an ang mga mata sa kamunggay nga mi pilit. Wala pa matagbaw, mi sawm sa kaldero nga gabukal ug gipangita ang langaw nga nalumos ug gipangutana.

Nakalimot diay ko ug vote sa poll.

Ang mga balak ni Bisyantek down-to-earth ug nagapahayag sa yano nga panginabuhi. Ang iyang mga materials indigenous ug iyang gi gamit ang mga butang nga iyang nakita ug nadungog sa iyang palibot.

Midayeg ako sa tanang mga balak ni Bisayantek nga contemporary and style. Usahay lawm kaayo ug lubog sa sa sobra nga ka-abstract.

Mura sa akong amigo nga artist (painting) nga mi ingon: Kung magka mature ug magka taas ang kalidad sa usa ka artist, magka laksot kuno ang iyang mga drawing, apan magka-lawm usab ang mensahe sa iyang gi drawing ug magka mahal ang bili. Sama ra usab ang usa ka balak.

Usa kini ka painting nga abstract nga gi hubad sa pulong.

Murag ako na kini nga nakit-an nga painting, usa ka urban scene pero wala ko mahinumdom kung dis-a o kanus-a.

Sa unang pharagraph pa lamang mi botar na ko ug Oo.

Ug sa dihang mi basa ako sa ikaduhang pharagraph, mitulo akong laway.

Creative kaayo ang maong balak.

RV, Payao is one of the most fascinating and spectacular place I have seen. It is just in Duero, an uphill baranggay. To get there, you have to cross a small creek which passes in the middle of the road. That was long ago, when I was in college when I last visited there. Maybe by now, a bridge is built.

There you in their terrace, it is over looking the Mindanao sea, where you can see the blue sky and the blue sea joined without border or horizontal line. It is like "panagminyo sa langit ug dagat". Sometimes, you will feel disoriented by looking at it. Your mind will be confused as to where is up or down.

Hope you will visit this place someday and post photos. Hope you dont mind this personal request RV. Really, it's a photographer's challenge, but you have to go there on a clear day to capture the maximum view.

Glen,

Nice avatar you have. That is Northern lights, aurora borealis. If, I'm not mistaken it is now the start of longer cold nights.

Asa kadto ka naka base Glen? I have already informed my brother about you. Busy gihapon siya.

Please forward the PPP cause to all Pinoys you know. This is our party.

More developments will be posted by Mr. Dong Bonite.

Someday, Bohol could produce another Einstein or Stephen Hawking.

Do not under estimate the potentials of the young Boholanos.

In terms of physical strength, men are stronger, but in terms of will, I believe women are stronger. American progress started when women were allowed to vote.

Please see this link of a successful cooperative in Bohol which is run by housewives. http://theboholchronicle.com/cbill.php?issue=172&s1=2272&s2=2280&s3=2287&s4=&s5=2283&s6=649&s7=2284&s9=&s10=

It is the Raffia Waving cooperative in Tubigon & Inabangga. Infact just this July, they have generated a booked sales of P5,040,000, please see this link: http://piabohol.blogspot.com/2007/07/local-english-news-072607.html

Building my future today is one of the many lessons I've learned from Jun.

Salamat RV sa pag share sa maong mga nice shots. Gi hago-an gyud ni nimo. I envy your adventure.

Sa tinuod daghan ko ug na kita sa Bohol nga wala ma promote sa atong tourism department, like Payao terrace and lover's leap. Naa pod didto daghan nga waterfalls pero ang uban gi himo nang irrigation.

Ang Panglao, Loboc ug Carmen, balik-balik na lang ug gi pul-an na ko. Commercialized na kaayo ug mahal pa.

Like Supermodel Alek Wek. She used to be a refugee, topless and bald.

Ang maayo magpa-paak ka ug daghang amigas para ma imune.

Komusta na Lumine? Please see my kids by clicking the globe below my name.

Once again, I am inviting all TB members to join our cooperative BOWACCC.

As posted by our Admin. Mr. Mike Ligalig, cooperativism is one of the backbone to alleviate poverty: http://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=5867.msg46019;topicseen

We are aiming worldwide membership for Boholanos and Boholano affiliates only. Ato ni!

I knew Dong Bonite, being a co-member of BOWACCC and I am a witness of his genuine intentions and visions towards a better Philippines. His achievement lies behind his principle of "walking the talk" (executing and implementing the plan).

I too am a fan of Delaguna. I have several past interactions with him in Tubag Bohol and I only knew his caliber just recently. He maintains his humbleness despite his great achievement. A real person.

Padayon sa atong kausa!

OF & OFW's have genuine intentions.

Witness the change and view it first, only in Tubag Bohol.

Dear Grazie7y,

Bein a Board Member of BOWACCC and at the same time the Treasurer, I realized that there are endless opportunities and countless benefits cooperativism could contribute to the society and to the economy in general. It is one of the solution to alleviate poverty and what is more noble than that. In fact this is more effective than charity as most of charity is a one time help and ones this help is consumed, the situation goes back to previous. Cooperativism is "Impowerment" to the individual so he can stand on his own.

You may read a topic posted by our Admin, Mr. Mike Ligalig on cooperativism: http://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=5867.0

I am calling Asian Fairy to join this forum. I remembered once that she became interested on same topic. Asian Fairy is also a member of a generous group in Europe and a very successful one. Morepower to your Charity Group Asian Fairy.

Dear Dong,

Some of our audience needs to know further information about PPP.

Hence, kindly provide as to who are the men & women behind the scene, what are their priliminary agenda, programs, some highlights of the group, history...etc.

Kindly give us an update from time to time so this topic will not sink below the list.

Thanks,

This is a freak weather, a dangerous sign. This is a manifistation of global warming caused by irresponsible humans & greed.

Probably the beginning of the third wave of extinction.

Save the Earth and its inhabitants.

Nothing else I can say except "Congratulations". I am proud that you are my friend and mentor. You unselfishly shared your knowledge and encourage others to develop thier potentials.

Marcos Raymund, Johde and Kids

Dear Fairy,

I appreciate your enthusiasm for this cause and love to our motherland. The key word is believe in yourself. Each one of us has a unique talent that brought us to this part of the world.

You will agree with me that most of the OF / OFW's came to this part of the world because we were not born with a silver spoon. If we are, we should not have left our beloved motherland. We left because the economy of our motherland is not favoring us & our family.

Each one of us has its own stories to tell and the common denominator is "struggle for a better future", "the pursuit of happyness". It's now time to use this passion.

If only a few of us lights his/her candle, it will die-out by a gentle gust. But if all our candles are lit, not even the strongest storm could put off its flame. Kining suga, maoy mag lamdag kanato sa dalan nga ginaingon ug "road to progress".

Kita ang nag buhi sa atong economiya. Manong mo tugot man ta nga lain ang mo harvest sa atong gi pugas.

Mura man ko ani ug hing diskorso sa eleksyon. Hehehe

By the way, nakalimot ko ug comment sa Loon Church. The time of capture is just perfect, where the sun is around 30 degrees. This soft sunlight gives contrast and define the subject. Most photographers prefer to shoot at 7-8 morning or 4-5 afternoon. Also the position of RV is perfect which shows a good perspective.

Mike, in all Western Union transaction, there is a transaction code number. That number if shown would be enough to claim the money. ID is just for double checking. Infact, that code will only be devulged to the sender by the teller of the source bank.

Hence, those who wish to help Mike should also include the Transaction number when they notify Mike on his PM or Email.

As mentioned in your article, I have seen one documentary about a lungfish, which borrows itself in mud. During dry season, the mud actually solidifies to bone dry. Amazingly, the fish is still alive and once back in water, it will swim in minutes. It looks like catfish or pantat.

I wonder if there is a hermaphrodite human. I have seen a science fiction about humans reproducing by itself.

RV,

Proud of you, make it good.

Is there an online version of this program?

Dear Tubag Bohol Members,

A new political party represented by "Heroes" OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) has been formed. Please read as below. OFWs are the lifeblood of our economy, yet we have no political representation. Please help me disseminate this information to all Filipino Community Leaders in your area. Thanks.

Written by: "Bonite, Elias F" <elias.bonite@aramco.com>

Dear Filipino Community Leaders around the Globe,

Good morning to you all!

Please be informed that an OFWs-led group has been hatched to form a political party the Partido ng Pangdaigdigang Pilipino or PPP among OFs and OFWs around the globe. The reason for the PPP is that the Overseas Filipinos, inspite of its large number- around 10 million, has not yet maximized its potential to address its numerous concerns. It has failed to garner a seat in the Congress even after several attempts by OFWs Party Lists. Moreover, the OFs and OFWs sector has never been consulted on any state policies and regulations that would greatly affect them.

PPP chapters have already been organized in the Middle East particularly in the Central Region (Riyadh) and Western Region (Jeddah) of Saudi Arabia. Tayo dito sa Eastern Province ay magbubuo pa lang; medyo nahuli tayo. PPP chapters are now existing in Europe, USA and Canada. In the Philippines binubuo na rin, PPP-NCR (National Capital Region in the Phil.) has been tasked to register PPP with the SEC and eventually with the COMELEC.

It is in this light that you are all requested to support and be part of this global PPP. OFs and OFWs need to be united dahil kong magwatak watak tayo mahina ang ating puerza at di tayo magkaroon ng mga representante sa Congress. Imagine if we are all united say we are 10 millions around the world puera pa sa mga dependents natin sa Pilipinas baka kaya nating magkaroon ng representatives sa Congress pati na sa Senate.

This is a very huge and ambitious task pero kung bawat isa sa atin ay mag commit to support this cause â€" success is not far-fetched.

Please confirm your willingness to join the PPP and advise that you will fully support the formation of this global political party. With you and your group’s participation, it is expected that PPP will take off to a greater heights.

Maraming salamat..

I have seen the Tarsier Sex Scandal in YouTube. I don't know how to post YouTube, but here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvcpc9PlfvE

Piskay!

Dalaygon.
Lami-an ang maong balak.

Danglug ug hamis ang matag tulo sa pulong.
Makahagit sa lawasnong kahidlaw.

Speaking of stone age, there must be some presence of "un-natural" power source.

Sir Macky asa mana dapit ang Eastern Region? Walay gira sa inyu dapit? Imong brother si Jun naminyo napod siya nia pod dinhe karon sa Saudi kinsa man iya na asawa? Naa ko daghan ig agaw dinhe sa Saudi ila ko paanhi-0n pero mora man hadlok.

Glen,

Ang asawa sa akong manghod si Beatriz Lim among silingan. Naa sila usa ka anak. Murag mo uli for good na siya kay gi hagoan na ug abroad.

Manong kaila man mo ni Jun?

Hahahahahaha happy,

Karon pa ko ka abri ug utro sa TB.

Time sa, kay mangawt pa ko sa akong ulo.

So mao kini ang akong ikasulti:

Kini, mi claim si Vice-Gov nga success ang maong program. Apan kutob lang sa news. The public deserves the right to be informed with proof (at least pictures or signed testimonials from the benefited ones). Where are the statistics, before and after.

This is a government program, where public funds are involved. Where are the department P.R.O.s of this project. Preporting is important for transparency.

Sa laktod, usa ra akong ikasulti ani nga project, nga this is a noble project and everyone must be enthusiastic and get involved because such will generate a chain of long term benefits.

This is only a test. Hope it works GEC.

Thanks for the update Mikey.

Kauban mi si Rocky dire ug trabaho sa una.

This are some of photos in Logarita, but not so clear. I will find more later.

The best view found in Bilar is in Logarita or Karahan. Now named Rajah Sikatuna Park. There is a natural swiming pool over there. I will search some pictures and post it here.

Akong mga uncle ang nag tanom ug nag atiman ani. Sila si nong Pedie ug Concordio Pabe mga forest guards volunteers. I consider them a hero.

The Brother of my mother, the late Mr. Felipe Sarmiento, contributes a vital role in the Rattan plantation and the conservation of wild life in this forest.

My Grandfather, the late Rufino Sarmiento was a foreman in the cadastral survey who built this road from Loboc to Carmen. During his tenure, he was the one who plant that big Acacia trees on the road side where you can still see some of it by now and dili na ma gakos ug lima ka tao ang pono-an. Most of them were cut down and labeled as hazards to the electric posts. Sometimes, we do not value history.

Mi labay na lang ang pipila ka mga adlaw ug walay mi tubag niini nga topic.

Buot bang ipasabot nga minos gyud ta ug pag-pakabana? Pero kung ma apektohan, kusog dayon mo reklamo.

Tinood ba nga majority kanato ubos kaayo ug kalipay. Ma kontento dayon bisan sa gamay lang ug walay ambisyon para sa ugma? Bisan gi koso-koso ug gi laparo na sa ka-kabos, dili lang gihapon maningkamot?

Hinumdumi mga kaigsoonan nga ang kaugmaon sa atong nasod naga sunod sa damgo nga pagakab-uton sa usag-usa kanato. Hinumdumi nga ang usa ka kalampusan nagsugod lamang sa usa ka damgo ug pangandoy.

He was once my master.

naa lagi pod tintos ang mga Mexicans... nalimot ko sa ngalan...

Ms Dabinsi, ang ngalan ana sa Mexican Enchilada. Mexicans are fund of using corn such as Tortillas, Taco, Burito, Taquito and Tamale. Did you know that we have Filipino foods derived from Mexico such as Calabaza, Camote, Langgoniza, Sopas, Torta and more.

Hadlok raba nang magpa mysterious-mysterious kay naa koy nakit-an nga salida sa TV nga dihay mga missing girls sa America. Then a female detective was sent to investigate the crime. Upon investigating, the 4 missing girls were previiously chatting to a single girl at most of thier time. So she joined the club. Then that girl invited her for an EB at her house. While she opened the door, a needle pricked at the detective's finger that left her unconcious. Upon waking up, she was horrified to see a fat, oversized man staring at her with his saliva dripping at her face. This man is confined on a wheelchair and could barely stand. This man is a "CANIVAL" who disguised himself as a slim girl on the internet, victimizing young girls and eating them.

At the end of the story, the female detective was able to escape and kill the canival.

This is only a movie and did not happen in reality.

There is one option, Mr. Ferniz. The reclamation of the Philippine territory of Sabah, which is illegally controlled by Malaysia at the moment. Sabah has vast amounts of raw natural resources and land area that is the size of Mindanao...
Its unification with the Philippines would ease many of our problems.

Good idea Bran. If China was able to acquire back Hong-kong and Taiwan from the hands of the British, then why can't we.

I remembered when I was a little kid that one of my uncle, out of deperation, ventured for a back-door entry vide Sabah to Malaysia. He was caught by a Malaysian cost guard inside Sabah waters and was given a riffle but on the back that left him unconcious.

On learning about the history of Sabah during my high school days, I was so outraged. How dare these people prosecuted us in our own land!

I even got more outraged when just recently, I got one of Emirates Airlines Travel Book, where Sabah is featured as one of the Top Tourist attraction in Malaysia and Mount Kinabalu was dubed as the best mountaineering site. While in the same book, not even an Ad of a Philippine resort was mentioned.

With this, one can ask "where are our leaders".

I could assume libido is one of God's way to test humans to be responsible and ethical.

However, my above suggestion is a desperate solution to a serious problem our country / world is facing.

This is a sort of "march into hell for a heavenly cause".

Well if contraceptives can't prevent population growth, perhaps cybersex can. Internet pornography is not bad at all.

To all housewives, if your husband spends most of their time on the internet, praise them. You are helping our country. No kidding, I am serious. Over population destroys our economy and the environment; our resources and space are limited.

By the way, let me guess the answer.
1. Male would initiate mating if you place another female. It would be called "threesome".
2. Calm the tarsier by blowing gently on it's eye.

Thanks Benelyne and congratulations.

You have a great achievement, as part of a team who not only loves nature, but an advocate for its protection & preservation. Moreover, you are a one-of-a-kind Boholano who could translate Japanese; a linguist, like Dr. Jose Rizal. Bohol is proud of you Ben and you should be among the 'Who's who of Bohol'. Surely, such visual campaign would generate awareness/public education for the preservation/re-population of the tarsier and it's native habitat, Bohol.

By the way, is it possible if you could request your colleagues to post a low-resolution copy in YouTube or is it with copywrite.

Hope that in contrast to the fate of the phylocine or thylacine or marsupial wolf, the tarsier's popularity must not lead to it's extinction.

N.B. I am not an expressive writer as you are, but I am happy beyond my words. My personal thanks.

What kind of condom, Male or Female?

I can not eat tilapia. I tried it many times pero mag-suka ko after. Dili man unta ko arte ug bahin na sa kaon, pero can't help nga mo suka. Also the night after eating, I had a nightmare nga na mura kuno ko ug dagway ug tilapia nga nag pusnga.

Dr. GEC, can you determine what kind of psychological illness I have?

Also Mike, sala diay pod ang mo swear ka. Di ba kasagaran sa atong mga balak mo ingon "Isaad ko sa langit". However, a balak is not literal, it is only an expression / Abstract. That's how balak is, exaggerated; otherwise it will not be called a balak.

References:
Matt. 5:33-37
Again, you have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, "You shall not swear falsely, but carry out the vows you have made to the Lord." But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let your word be "Yes, Yes" or "No, No"; anything more than this comes from the evil one.

James 5:12
Above all, my brothers, do not swear - not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned.

Sir Macky,

Count me in... as long as we run the org with transparacy..walay manggibanha.
This is another thing that I admire here in Sweden.

The system can be trusted and people trust each other.

Kudos to your org there Sir Macky.

Mike..you are right.

Asian Fairy,

Thanks for your interest. However, in order not to deviate further the discussion of this topic, please send PM to me or to Jun Ayag. We also aim to be on international level and we are looking for a Chapter leader in every country. Probably you could be one.

Hope you learned something about the 58 leadership secrets of JC.

Mike,
Strategic leadership requires one other skill.

readiness to discuss half baked ideas,
since most fully baked ideas start out in that form;
a total honesty, a readiness to admit you to got it wrong

Naa man na sa Pay-per-view sa TFC.

Wala ko mo subscribe kay ga mahal-mahal lang. Total after 1 hour, available na ang pirated CD copy sa mga Indian nga ga baligya ug CD dire.

Anyway, you can follow the update at: http://www.mannypacquiao.ph

Bitaw, lisod baya ang role sa Treasurer. Naa mi organization diri sa mga bol-anon nga gitawag ug BOWACCC, ug ako ang treasurer. Lisod kaayo kay ang imong credibility ang nakataya. Pero kung limpyo imong pagka tao ug ang imong character, kasaligan gyud ka. Naa gyud koy reporting kada bulan para transparent unya tuig, sa among general assembly, naay among audit headed by Mr. Jun Ayag. Kining among cooperative registered ni sa CDA and governed by the CDA and the nature is more on credit. We are aiming to build a solely Boholano owned Bank in 2 years time. We are open and I am inviting all to join too. Just follow link: http://www.geocities.com/bowacccoop/home.html

I have read also a thread from Capitan Berong on organizing a multipurpose cooperative. Why not start now. We could build a hospital for our future needs, i.e. like 25% discount for members + yearly dividends on revenues (pro-rated / depending on your capital share). Or a school, to start with an elementary school. We could compete Bohol Wisdom School. Or a big enterprise.

With a very conservative amount of $10 per member x 50,000 members = $500,000 and that would be equal to P22,524,000. This is more than enough to initiate an enterprise and help provide employment in Bohol. We have a wide array of feasible enterprise to choose from.

We have great minds here in Tubag Bohol. I am confident of at least 80% success. Let us organize.

Once again, I hereby nominate Mike Ligalig to be our chairman. (Mike you could apply what you have learned from MBA, management here).

Mr. Benelynne,

Very interesting topic.

I noticed a documentary featured in the National Geographic back in 2004 produced by a Japanese featuring the Civet (Milo or tinggawong) in the Visayas including Bohol. Is this the same person studying our tarsius?

Quote from: Lorenzo on October 06, 2007, 10:47:19 PM
The Philippines economic plan is following the path of nations such as India and Malaysia, which is more service oriented. Look at the amount of foreign investment in the IT sphere in the country, as well as the rising banking systems in the country--and this will continue to rise as foreign demand for high skilled laborers in the Philippines is at hand. The Philippines, unlike China and Thailand, graduates thousands of highly skilled individuals in the engineering, medical, teaching, banking fields every year--and are employed abroad, unlike the manufacturing-oriented economies of the region.

Ate Belle did bring up a great point. Why would the Philippines need to import raw materials from Thailand and China considering the Philippines itself is endowed with rich natural resources? Forgive me for being limited in the fields of economics and marketing, perhaps Mr. Ferniz and others could care to explain this?
Thanks.

Good question there Bran and I am expecting somebody would ask.

Everybody knew that China is the cheapest manufacturer of raw materials. At the moment, they have all the facilities to manufacture almost everything.

Whereas, if we manufacture the raw materials (mainly the plain cloth), we have to start with investing on big machineries like the loom.

Hence, it would take a lot of gamble to start someting big. Moreover, this is only half of the story. The other half is what marketing is called the ATL (Above the line) expenseses such as advertisement, Print Materials, Publicities, Agents/representatives to promote your products and marketing. You have to invest on a Website, promoters, Newspaper Ads to be known.

Hence, you have to manage your limited/available budget wisely.

In other countries, such as China, Germany, France, UK, USA their governments are supporting private enterprise by organizing International Trade Fairs. They even built a facility for this such as in Fiera, Milano Italy, where it is like a huge city with hotels and convention centres are build just to showcase thier private industry. Also the Shanghai and Guangzou Exhibition Centre in China. Germany is also hosting the yearly Hymtex Textile exhibition in Munich.

So, private businesses don't need to spend huge budget for publicity because their government is supporting them. Besides, these will draw an influx of international visitors, thus benefiting resorts, hotels and tourism industry in general.

As I have explained previously, buyers are looking for new unique designs and quality is only a second criteria.

In the general sense, this business is service/skilled oriented and not manufacturing oriented. That's why we are not bothered about the raw material (the manufacturing oriented), but rather, focus on the design and assembly, the creative service oriented side.

I knew it was a mistake to use my picture as my avatar. 
There are maybe 1 or 2 textile factories back in my hometown. In the 70s/80s it was the main employer - with 10s of factories.
You're right about it being an opportunity for this country.  Some countries manage to sell at higher prices than China because they have more ethical employment practices and human rights.  The consumers prefer not to think of kids in sweatshops etc. so it give the brand more value.  Still, to be competitive with the rest of this region you would have to offer your workers only about 3000pesos per month for 12 hour days, 6 days a week. I guess 'ethical employment practices' is a very relative thing!

Actually, Mr. Ben, it is not too late for anybody to start with this kind of business, I mean in international level.

I am employed in a company importing home textiles, such as towels, bed sheets, comforters, pillows, rugs, bath mats..etc.

In my observation, buyers are not choosing based on brand but on the design. And quality of material is only a second criteria.

Since, we Boholanos has a unique and creative sense of design, I think we are competitive in this field.

We can import raw materials from China and Thailand and assemble it in Bohol and re-export it to the world.

This is just my idea and who knows it will become a big enterprise in Bohol if all of us will colaborate.

Ms. Dabinsi,

Nice lagi imong fairy attire.

Just tell me your friend's family name and I will try to inquire.

By the way, naa mi ig-agaw diha sa Michigan nga si Nong Roldan Sarmiento. Kaila ba ka nila? Akong mama ug iyang papa igsoon.

Just recently, one of our products "Bausch&Lomb Solution" have been recalled from Saudi Government even if there was no indication of harm from SASO (Saudi Arabian Standard Organization). The reason is that there was a magazine publicity in USA that people suffered from eye irritation after using the solution.

As a precaution, the Saudi government recalled the product. Actually, it was only a publicity by a rival brand.

Saudi is one of the toughest quality control in the world. In every country there is a SASO and no product can pass the Customs without SASO Certificate. Even Airconditioners and cars will undergo SASO inspection.

Even the Royal Family businesses is not excempted by this rule. Last month, a bottled water factory owned by a prince has been closed due to high bromate content exceeding SASO recommended level. Bromate at high level has been known to be carcenogenic.

Back in the Philippines, we even don't know if the processed food we are eating are safe. So better eat natural food, and avoid the processed ones. It is much safer.
