"Refusing to treat a patient because of their political views is a disgusting  violation of medical ethics and would probably result in his license being suspended."

i wish, i wish, i wish!!!!

Florida urologist Jack Cassell posted a sign on his office door reading, "If you voted for Obama ... seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your health care begin right now, not in four years."

Cassell, a registered Republican, quickly backpedaled in an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, but said he's perfectly happy to lose business over the sign. "I'm not turning anybody away, that would be unethical," he told the Sentinel. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."

Patients who continue past the sign on Cassell's door find a waiting room stacked with Republican pamphlets opposing health care reform, underneath a sign reading, "This is what the morons in Washington have done to your health care. Take one, read it and vote out anyone who voted for it."

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) told the Sentinel he was "disgusted" by Cassell's behavior.

"Maybe he thinks the Hippocratic Oath says, 'Do no good'," Grayson said. "If this is the face of the right wing in America, it's the face of cruelty. ... Why don't they change the name of the Republican Party to the Sore Loser Party?"

... pero as i have learned and found out true, mao ra ni ako buhaton kon pwerteng kapoya na:

1. Find a park full of trees. Sa Bohol, dyutay na lang park with trees.
   So, adto lang sa bukid-bukid dapit. Or sa central elem school ba.
2. Look for a tree and hug it. Feel the positive ions coming in your body
   and replacing the negative ones.
3. Or better still, sa ilawom sa landong sa dakong kahoy pagbanig ug pahulay igsoon.

... after a few minutes, recharged ka na.


thank you for the TIP gwargz! wa jud ko problema of relieving stess kay daghan jamo mi kakahoyan diri. pero ug mag sigi ka basa ug mga negative comments like the politics thread di na madala ug exchanging ions sa akong mga siblings (trees i call them my siblings) diri. hehehehe! pero nag recharge sila tanan, sa Easter na to sila mag paboto pohon! murag mga WATUSI!!!hahaha!

It would be better to call Him,Bro, but we respect Him as our Father. the way i understood sa show sa ABS which the word Bro for God is popularized,ila gipafeel na maski Ginoo sya nato, it's just easy for us to reach Him kay He is just like a brother to us.

mdb..

nice input.. actually,  the way I understood the passage of the Bible that  Mary Magdalene was one of the women who first came to the tomb when Christ was risen.. Luke 24:5 In fright the women bowed to the ground, but the men (in dazzling garments) said, "why look for the living among the dead?" Luke 24:10 Among the women who brought the news were Mary Magdalene, Joanna  and Mary the mother of James.   

with regards to Jesus Christ ascension..

John 16:28-30 As I came from the Father and have come into the world, so I am leaving the world and going to the Father. The disciples said to Him, "now you are speaking plainly and not in veiled language! Now we see you that you know all things, even before  we question you. because we believe that you came from God." 

Luke 24:50-53 Jesus led them almost as far as Bethany; then lifted up his hands and blessed them. And as he blessed them, he withdrew (and was taken to heaven. They worship him). They return to Jerusalem full of joy and were continually in the temple praising God.

just my sharing.... in my simple interpretation/ comprehension of the Bible... thanks.

Two years ago the package cost about P450 per person in a group of at least 10. That's for those travelling from Tagbilaran to Buenavista and back. Included na ang rower, food, and village tour.

The Cambuhat River and Village Tour: Packaging What Comes Naturally

In some places, people go to great lengths in the name of tourism development. In Cambuhat, we discover a charming village that need not reinvent itself.

By Reigh P. Monreal, CRM/IEC Specialist, CRMP (2000)

We cautiously sidle down the side of a bridge and into small outrigger canoes. The harmony between the canoes' bright yellow hulls and the translucent turquoise-green water of the Daet River is, like most things about Bohol, out of the ordinary.

We are a group of six local adventurers egged on by a common friend to try Cambuhat for a different nature trip. After a two-hour drive from Tagbilaran City southwest of Bohol to Buenavista town on the north, where Cambuhat is, we now brace ourselves for this novel excursion into a neighborhood by the river. Buenavista, we learn, is a young and vibrant municipality whose current development efforts are hinged on participatory governance.

Why Cambuhat?

Having experienced Bohol’s other attractions - the beaches on Panglao Island near Tagbilaran, the Chocolate Hills in Carmen and adjacent towns, and the Loboc River cruise - we reckon exploring the northern border of Bohol passing through the western towns will be an eye-opener. Despite having many sites of great tourism potential, the western and northern municipalities, as well as the easternmost rim, have been left out in provincial tourism promotions.

This rustic community is the site of probably one of Bohol’s first eco-cultural tour packages. Called the Cambuhat River and Village Tour, the package was developed and launched last year through a partnership between the local government of Buenavista, the village folk of Cambuhat and the Coastal Resource Management Project. Bookings are coursed through the Tagbilaran-based FCB Foundation, Inc.

Downstream ride

With two of us sitting back-to-back on a small platform onto which the outriggers are tightly fixed, our paddler, Romulo Opalla, tells us that the boat ride 1.8 kilometers downstream along a nipa-fringed watercourse takes about 30 minutes. But with the ebbing tide, this ride over placid waters may take a shorter time.

Romulo attributes the occasional flotsam to yesterday’s heavy rains. The debris we saw near the jump-off point is nowhere in sight. I can imagine how sparklingly clean the river would be during the summer months! Even now, with the heat of the mid-morning sun causing little sweat beads to run down our brows, I feel the urge to dive into the water. But the cool refreshing breeze must be relished, too.

Farther down, the river and the waterways form an intricate labyrinth, punctuated by fish corrals set up at almost every junction. These net-and-bamboo contraptions catch shrimp and mud crabs that stray into the channels during high tide. Romulo points to young mangrove trees between nipa stands that thrive on the embankments. These trees, he reveals, were planted by community members, including himself.

Our good-natured oarsman offers to let me steer the boat, but I opt to enjoy the serene environs of the meandering tributary. After 10-15 minutes, I now see on my right about two or three houses huddled in what seems like an inlet where a boat is docked. Romulo tells us that this boat carries mainland water for sale to residents of nearby Cabul-an island.

Best-kept secret

A few meters down the river is a small hut without walls sitting atop stilts. According to our paddler, this nipa-thatched shack serves as a watchman’s house. The oysters have to be guarded from poachers, he adds.

The mere mention of the mouth-watering oysters excites me no end. These delicious bivalves used to be Cambuhat’s best-kept secret, and it seems they have become the most popular attraction of the village.

Gliding round a bend, the boat slices through the wider expanse of the river and passes by Ambakan, a riverbank whose name means “a place from which one jumps into the river.”

After only a few paddles onwards, our tireless boatman delivers us to Tugbungan, a promontory that marks the end of the river cruise. Atop this limestone cliff that juts from the riverbank is a bigger hut, also with nipa roofing and without walls, where some members of the local organization of women have been waiting to welcome our group. In one corner is a little store bedecked with bougainvilleas lining a fragile bamboo bridge that extends a few meters into a mangrove area.

The sweet smell of grilled seafood greets us amid expressions of welcome from the local folk. They immediately usher us to a long bamboo table filled with steamed shrimp, fried native chicken, vegetable soup, “puso” or rice wrapped in woven coconut fronds and, of course, the fresh oysters of Cambuhat. Served raw, grilled with butter or cheese, or pan-fried omelet-style, the once lowly mollusk has become a prized catch for those of us who cannot find them in the wet market.

While our hands are busy picking here and dipping there, the hosts sing with fervor Buenavista’s official hymn. Ellen, our organizer, tells us that a local resident can dish out poetic lines impromptu, but he is not available today to entertain us. More songs, then one of our hosts explains how oysters have changed the way of life of some households in Cambuhat.

Oyster culture

The culture of these delicious bivalves was previously introduced to the community in 1989, but because of various technical and financial problems, it was not sustained. With the help of one of CRMP's aquaculture specialists, Andres Amejan, the practice of oyster culture was successfully revived.

Oyster culture does not require any complicated procedure. Four or five empty oyster shells are tied to a nylon strand about one meter long. The strands are then suspended underwater, either beneath bamboo rafts or from a suspension line set up near the riverbank. The strands are installed six inches apart, with the topmost shell about one foot above the water level at the lowest ebb tide and the lowermost shell about one foot from the riverbed.

If the oyster hangings are place at the right time (during the spawning season of oysters, which happens only twice a year), reddish spots, which are actually oyster juveniles, will appear in a week and cling to the empty shells. After a month, the muck excreted by the growing oysters must be removed, or it will bury the developing oyster colony. More frequent cleaning-up is required as the oysters mature. In six months, the shellfish is ready for harvest. Each strand now supports four or five bunches of oysters and is sold at a farmgate price of Php15-25, depending on quantity.

Oyster production in Cambuhat is done by families. Each of the participating 38 households is assigned a portion of the river, at least 50m2, for shellfish culture. With a larger area, a household can suspend as many as 4,000 strands. If each strand sells at an average of Php15, 3,500 strands can generate about Php52,500 in gross earnings. The 500 strands deducted from the total serve as adjustment for household consumption and poaching.

An oyster grower tells us that more than 80,000 strands have been harvested from the river since May 1999. Because of the high demand, each household has to set aside about 1,000 strands as source of empty shells for the next production cycle. Thus, to retain the shells, the growers process the meat into ginamos, a popular meal appetizer, which they also sell at Php25 per lapad (rum bottle).

Looms and brooms

Uphill from the promontory, we discover more of Cambuhat’s charms. Walking past buri palms lining the road, we learn that a weaving industry utilizing strips from buri leaves have been preserved by some families. Indeed, we see the womenfolk strip young palm leaves and weave saguran cloth using age-old looms set up under their houses.

At our next stop, an old woman demonstrates how a broom is made from fiber processed from the stalk of the buri leaf. Her husband tells us that the community also produces starch from the pith of the plant’s trunk. The starch is made into palm pearls or landang, an ingredient in many coconut-flavored snack foods. In this community of unassuming residents, the lowly buri has actually replaced the coconut as the “tree of life”. The old folk swear they survived on buri during the World War II, and the intermittent periods of famine in the ensuing years.

In a carpentry shop several meters away, a young lad fashions back-scratchers, spoons and forks from coconut shell and wood from a local fish-tail palm called patikan.

Meanwhile, we notice that some backyards have separate garbage pits for biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials, something that amazes and humbles those who are environmentally aware yet do not practice proper garbage disposal.

Pastoral scenery

Nobody gets hungry in this resource-rich village by the river. Banana, pineapple, root crops and a variety of vegetables are planted in every nook and cranny. Growing abundantly in the wild are sagisi palm, tipolo trees and several bamboo species, all of which have great economic potential. For those looking for something more exotic, a local vine called unlan-unlan sa halas or snake’s pillow is a good conversation piece.

We stray into a lowland area where young and old villagers harvest irrigated rice and thresh the cereal bundles beside the paddies and under a coconut grove where goats, cats and dogs cavort in wild abandon.

Cambuhat lives up to its name. Buhat means make, create, work and toil. Here in Cambuhat, we see joy, self-sufficiency and dignity in the faces of villagers keeping their hands busy with productive endeavor.



now i learned something... thanks Kods! ;D

I think there is an error sa information. Dili ingon niana ang price per head. It could possibly be for a group with a minimum number of persons.

Problematic bitaw ning issue sa tuna catch kay migratory fish man gud ning tuna. The same school can be spawned in one country's waters and then cross international waters to another country. Ang ban sa Pinas morag bahin man to sa fishing method ug sa gidak-on sa pwedeng i-harvest.


O i see.  Di tingali Hubs, reklamo ang uban nasud kay hutdon man sa pinas ang tuna di na maka lahus sa laing nasud! hahahahha!

Cambuhat Oyster Farm in Buenavista


There is a nice eco-tourist spot in Buenavista the Cambuhat Oyster Farm. I wish to visit the place but I was schocked at the price in Euro 126 per head which is Phil Peso 7,700. Is this true?  This is outrageous because it is so pricy and local visitors/tourists have difficulty visiting their own place. Why? What´s wrong with our own natural tourism? Please I need an answer.


nag patuyang man sad na sila oi!

mao ang mga turista adto na laman sa Bahamas or puerto rico manginhas!!!

its outrageous!!!!
