Grazie,

I'll reveal to you the SECRET how (I think) Leo did it.

He's actually (right now) using two computers.... One is opened for the account of EL MUNDO and the other is opened for the account of GEC348.

With his trusty and reliable swivel chair, Leo slides from one computer to the other asking and answering questions and posts back and forth to give us all a wonderful enjoyable time


Di ba, Leo? You naughty, naughty boy! 

hahahahah Naa ray adlaw magkakita ra jud mo'ng duha - kana kon wala pa ha!

hahahahah mabuang ko ninyong duha or ninyong isa!

hahaha yeah, they're thinking of it... the truth is GEC IS NOT LEO AND LEO IS NOT GEC. i even told them that you're my lost twin hahahaha

they're reasons like: the time you log in and time you log out... kapoy diay magpuli puli og log in? hahahaha

then, the way we communicate here sa TB. one thing is different, you're poetic, am not. how i wish i can borrow your language! hahaha

many are asking if you're handsome, aren't you? but  am sure we are! LOL!

paila na intawon... kay mabutangan ko og kinumo ani hehehehe

Nan karon Leo kay nag abot naman jud mo ni GEC so ma klaro na na lahi si GEC ug lahi si El Mundo!

goodbye na lang pod nimo daan grazie.you are one of my fav columnists in this website. i dont want my replies modified. that is curtailing my freedom of speech.

Who, Admins in TB exercise liberty to modify posts if deemed unfit.  I am not saying you deliberately said something offensive or unfit but we are not perfect.  It takes humility to allow people to correct us.  You can also correct Admins if you think we say something bad.  We are all caretakers of TB bya.  Anyway, I didn't see your original post so I can't explain but my understanding is that, Admin Mike didn't want you to put him in the same category as Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ being the only one worthy to be called Savior of the Earth or something to that effect.  So, ayaw na pag drama Who.  Ayaw dali ug surrender diha oi!

Ako pud Belle nalipay ko nga kahilakon nag-reflect sa mga kaliwat ni Sir Felix Daray. Akong mga kaliwat wa gyud ikita ug ikaila. Nailo si Mama when she was still 6 months old. Nag-search pa ko kinsay akong mga kaliwat nga Ortega, Salinas, Anunciado, Dela Pena, ug Perez.

Mike, naa koy classmate sa UB Night High School sauna na Anunciado - I think Anita to iyang name.  Basta somehow related pod to sila ni Nong Ben Udtohan.

Sa MMK kay ang maternal Lola ni Charice was rude naman sa ilaha.  If they can say that in public na gi maltreat sila sa Papa ni Charice, there must be some truth to that kay gina verify naman yata na sa MMK karon.  I dunno lang.

Aya san, nakakita naka sa MMK ni Charice?  I have a link from Ginger kon gusto ka.

Hello Bisita!  Welcome to Tubag Bohol!  We are glad na ning join ka dire sa forum.  I hope dili lang ka bisita dire but mag pirme ka.   

As to the topic, ti gali bisan pa upod lang sa bata ang sister, error-free ang mall owner kon dili palyado ang equipment which is the escalator.  Why man diay kon taga squatter ang bata?  Is the report suggesting na dili sala sa mall owner just because the kid lives in the squatter's area or gipanapian ang mall?  I think that's beside the point especially if ma proven na palyado ang escalator.

Ah ok.  that make sense, Macks.  Wa man pod ko kakita sa original post pod unya di naman makita gud kon kinsa ga modify sa posts. 

Sus Macks, kon magbuhat ta ani sa ato, lami jud siguro ni kay lab-as man tanan rekados!  Manabo dayon ta sa Cortes ug tomatoes ug uban pang produce!  Kamatis is indeed rich in lycopene but ma intensify ang lycopene kon luto ang tomatoes.  Syempre, fresh tomatoes are good too kay daghan bya kaayo ni'g nutrients ang tomatoes like vitamin c, among other nutrients. 

OT:  Did you check your TB email?  I sent you email re Glen Hubahib kay di ko ka send nimo'g PM sa TB kay puno daw imong inbox.  Anyway, nagka storya nami ni Glen.  He was nice.  Kaila sya sa akong Uncle na si Tio Anjing.

Thanks Graze for the recipe. Akong sulayan. Maayo ni kay seafood.

Classical Italian gyud kaayo ug porma, kanang daghan ug kamatis ug olive oil, nag pula.

Detailed kaayo ang imong recipe. Na imagine nako nga mura ka ug si Rachel Ray nga ga luto, sigi ug istorya, nagsigi ug explain, pakapin interview sa iyang guest. Maayo kay dili ma apil ug hiwa ang kamot.

hahahahah  Maayo ka Macks kay maka tan aw ka ni Rachel Ray.  Si Murage, mag panic attack sa speed sa sinultian ni Rachel Ray.  I like her.  Gaka amaze ko sa miles per minute ijang ma yawyaw!   And besides, iyang cooking is simple kay di man jud na sya chef. 

By the way, since daghan kaayo mi'g tomatoes, I use our own tomatoes from the garden.  I tell you, mas lami jud ang lasa.  Dali ra bya na buhaton noh kay di man na lisud nang mga rekados ana.  Labi na siguro naa ta sa ato kay fresh kaayo ang mga shell foods sa Manga. 

Basta para lami, refrain from using water.  Use clam juice or red wine. I use the red wine from Trader Joe's.  Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz is perfect!  Ayaw na'ng cooking wine though naa bya pod ko.  Basta the rule of thumb in cooking using wine:  Thou shall not use wine you can not drink! 

Tita Birdie, where have you been?  It's been awhile since I last chanced upon you here.  Well, ako pod naglatagaw man pod karon so I guess pareho ra ta.

naanay sikwa?

Yes Bem, naa mi sikwa! 



Mao ni produce namo akong gidala sa LA for pasalubong sa akong elder sister na si Manang Marilyn.  I felt like taga bukid nakalugsong sa syudad! hahahaha  Naa sikwa diha o.

As requested by Hazel, here's the recipe for Cioppino.  You don't have to exactly follow.  Play with the recipe.  For example, I don't use crab legs but just crab meat - real ones.  When I make the tomato based sauce, I use sauteed fennel bulbs too.  That adds the sweetness.  There's a suggestion to serve with sourdough bread as what Italians do but I serve it with RICE!



The Cioppino I cooked one of the parties we had.

Ingredients:
4 large garlic cloves, minced
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 Turkish bay leaf or 1/2 California bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
1 (28- to 32-oz) can whole plum tomatoes, drained, reserving juice, and chopped
1 cup bottled clam juice
1 cup chicken broth
1 (1-lb) king crab leg, thawed if frozen
18 small (2-inch) hard-shelled clams (1 1/2 lb) such as littlenecks, scrubbed
1 lb skinless red snapper or halibut fillets, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 lb large shrimp (16 to 20), shelled (tails and bottom segment of shells left intact) and deveined
3/4 lb sea scallops, tough muscle removed from side of each if necessary
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

Garnish: shredded fresh basil leaves and small whole leaves
Accompaniment: focaccia or sourdough bread
Preparation
Cook garlic, onions, bay leaf, oregano, and red pepper flakes with salt and pepper in oil in an 8-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring, until onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and boil until reduced by about half, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juice, clam juice, and broth and simmer, covered, 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

While stew is simmering, hack crab leg through shell into 2- to 3-inch pieces with a large heavy knife. Add crab pieces and clams to stew and simmer, covered, until clams just open, 5 to 10 minutes, checking every minute after 5 minutes and transferring opened clams to a bowl with tongs or a slotted spoon. (Discard any unopened clams after 10 minutes.) Lightly season fish fillets, shrimp, and scallops with salt and add to stew, then simmer, covered, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Discard bay leaf, then return clams to pot and gently stir in parsley and basil.

Serve cioppino immediately in large soup bowls.

Cooks' note:
• The stew â€" without seafood â€" can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, uncovered, then chill, covered. Bring to a simmer before adding seafood.

Unsaon pagluto ang Cioppino, Graz?

Haze, dali ra.  I will post it sa recipe section.   

By the way, THANK YOU to dear Swakee for these Kamunggays!  I told Murage, he'll be famous with the Pinoys if they know that we have Kamunggays in our yard!  Iya na lang gi kompleto pod kay daghan na iyang tanglad ug siboyas!

My dear BOC, which thumb is more greener yours or Murage? Well, is this a kind of giant kamunggay?...the leaves are almost as big as Pechay man.   Kalami subakan ug buwad nga bolinao.

bwahahahaha nakalitan yata ning Kamunggay BOC!  You are right, dagko kaayo ang dahon!  Murage got the green thumb.  My thumb is just for harvesting. lol

OT:  I can't reply your PM kay gi reject kay full na daw imong inbox, BOC. huhuhuh

Na shock baya ko Maring kay two days lang ko wa ka visit sa garden sa far end sa property, ning sulpot man na'g tubo ang Kamunggay oi!  I have about 6 Kamunggay now.  I hope that's big enough already to sustain the winter time. 

I don't know if I really do not have green thumb but looking at our garden, tomatoes are the easiest to grow. But I need other vegetables like eggplant, squash, other green veges like chard and kale so I think it's hard for me to say what's my favorite plant - vege, trees or flowers to grow.  I love flowers to beautify our lil home and vegetables for our food and to share to family and friends.  However, I am so excited about our kamunggay plant kay I haven't seen a kamunggay plant here yet and I know I can make use of it when it's mature enough to harvest.


Ang Kamunggay sa among garden, bow!

Fighting began after the Supreme Court halted a historic deal to expand a Muslim autonomous zone in the region.
By Huma Yusuf

Renewed fighting between Muslim rebels and the Army in the southern Philippines has caused at least eight deaths and forced nearly 130,000 people to flee their homes. The clashes have been sparked by a controversial deal to expand a Muslim autonomous zone in the region, which was created in 1996 as part of a peace accord between the Filipino government and Muslim rebels. The fighting highlights the sectarian tensions that plague the country.

According to the BBC, troops began their attack on Sunday, after Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels failed to leave North Cotabato Province, which is not included in the five-province Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

    Troops began their attack on Sunday, after Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels in North Cotabato ignored a 24-hour deadline to leave the area.

    Soldiers continued to bomb Muslim rebel positions for a second day on Monday.

    They regained control of two villages, and are still aiming to regain 13 others, military vice chief of staff Lt Gen Cardozo Luna told the Associated Press.

    At least one soldier and seven rebel fighters have been killed since the attack began.

The fighting has caused many families to be displaced, reports the Philippine Daily Inquirer, a leading Filipino newspaper.

    Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno acknowledged the situation in North Cotabato has worsened as he lamented the government's failure so far to return thousands of families who have fled the fighting.... The fighting has displaced 18,633 families or 129,000 people in the affected areas, according to the Office of Civil Defense.

According to Asia News, trouble began last week when the Supreme Court issued an order to halt the signing of a deal between the government and MILF rebels following a wave of protests throughout the Philippines. Earlier this month, government and MILF negotiators were expected in Malaysia to sign an agreement laying down new borders for the ARMM. Acting on a petition filed by Christian politicians in North Cotabato who fear losing land and power to the Muslims, the Supreme Court stopped the deal, even though the government insisted it would end the 10-year-long conflict with the Muslim rebel group.

    Last month, both sides agreed to expand an existing six-province Muslim autonomous region to include 712 villages, subject to the agreement of residents in a plebiscite within a year. Some local leaders complained however about the danger of electoral fraud.

    Catholics expressed their concern that a deal between the MILF and the government would lead to renewed sectarian violence and vowed to obstruct the government's plan to conclude the peace accord.

The deal would have been a major step toward the peaceful resolution of a long-running Islamic insurgency, which has claimed some 100,000 lives, reported the BBC.

    A larger autonomous region is something the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has sought for decades....

    The MILF is the largest of several Muslim separatist groups battling the government in the predominantly Catholic country.

    Formal talks between the government and the MILF began in 2003, after the rebel group, which is thought to have around 11,000 members, signed a fragile truce with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's government.

The government had given approximately 1,000 MILF insurgents until Friday morning to vacate 15 villages in five North Cotabato townships that the rebels have occupied for more than a month. Although the MILF initially agreed to the withdrawal, rebels stayed put, prompting the government to launch an assault, reports the Associated Press.

MILF rebels claim, however, that the current fighting began when the government violated a cease-fire agreement with the rebels and went against the decided upon pullout process in the North Cotabato region, reports The Daily Tribune, a Filipino newspaper.

    A commander of the separatist group Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) accused the government of treachery on the agreed process for the pullout of MILF forces from occupied territories in North Cotabato and said yesterday rebel forces were staying put "no matter what."

    While all the negotiations and repositioning of the MILF forces were ongoing, the government forces were actually fortifying their strength and even maneuvering, according to the MILF....

    The military, in turn, said instead of an orderly withdrawal, MILF units asked to vacate several occupied barangays in five towns in North Cotabato, shot three soldiers through sniper fire, and torched houses igniting fresh fighting as thousands of villagers fled their homes in terror.

Spurring further confusion about why fighting began Sunday, MILF rebels point out that their "repositioning" within the region was not in response to the deadline mandated by the Army and was instead in compliance with a joint resolution signed with the government on Aug. 1, reports GMA News.

According to the Associated Press, scheduled elections in ARMM continued despite the violence.

    About 1.5 million Filipino Muslims in the autonomous region voted under heavy security Monday for a new governor, vice governor and other posts in the regional assembly. The five-province region has a history of insurgent and factional violence, but the fighting in nearby North Cotabato did not immediately affect the election.

An editorial in The Philippine Star, another leading newspaper, highlights the importance of the local ARMM elections in the context of renewed fighting between the government and MILF rebels.

    Every electoral exercise in the ARMM is held with the hope that the winners can make the promise of Muslim autonomy work to bring lasting peace and prosperity to one of the most volatile and impoverished regions in the country....

    [T]he people of the ARMM need better governance from their local officials. Those who are voted into office today should not betray the trust placed in them by their constituents. The people's participation in the elections, amid serious security threats posed by rampaging members of the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front, will signify the ARMM residents' continuing belief that autonomy holds the promise of making their life better.

Jang, nang halang akong mata ug binasa oi!  Unsa kaha ni bisaya sa abalone ba?  Mahal bya ni na shell kay mao man ni gamit sa gourmet cooking.  Kapinan I supposed is Tagalog so unsa kaha ni sa Bisaya?  Salamat Jang!   

Nilaga or Bulalo?  Kalami!

I don't believe that this is true maybe because I was brought up to believe he didn't have a wife.  And if this is true, why is this not being known to the public especially to the Catholic Church?  It is only wrong if this is true and yet the Catholic Church tried to hide this information from the people.  However, this will not diminish my trust in Him, the son of God and the Saviour of Humanity.  My saviour.

Grazie,
Nalipay kog dako nga nag tan-aw sa list sa mga mags ug libro nga imong gidonate sa Holy Infant Academy, Anda Library. Dako ni ug tabang, pohon kon mouli ka, pwede mo manuroy kauban si Gelyan or Paul kon wala ko sa eskwelahan.

Emotional kaayo maghunahuna sa imong kaayo kay daghan mga poor students nga malipay niini.  God's blessings will return to your family including Baby Matt pohon.

Jun, again, I am thankful that you gave us the opportunity to be of little help to your projects.  Sa akong pagpadala sa box wouldn't have been possible (at least not sooner) if Gemma Morris aka Glen did not help a part of the shipping cost. 

I am particularly excited that the students can dig in to the Guideposts.  It's like Reader's Digest but those are like "Dosage of Hope" articles shared by real life people with real life experiences.  Bisan sa corner where people got to share recipe, they share inspiring stories to go with the recipes.

By the way, I also had some goodies there like chocolates and candies para naay treat ang mag open sa boxes. hehehe  Naa pod toy mga pens and pencils, post its pads that librarians and students can use.  Gamay ra hinuon pod kay ako lang man gipang suksuk sa mga empty spaces sa kilid2x! para ma max up nko ang spaces. 

Someday pohon lang makapauli nami didto, I'd love to see the library and hopefully magkaka uban mi ni Gemma. Mag pasak=pasak jud ko sa mga beaches sa Anda kadtong mga pictures na gipang share nilang Aya san ug Blue Angel ug ni Mike and other Andahanons! 

Again, thanks Jun!  The pleasure is ours!

God bless you always sa imong pagka proactive in thinking about projects for the betterment of your community and our country as a whole.

who, what do you mean?  somebody modified your post?

basin ugma maka tan-aw nko'g Olympics games kay na busy ko wa pa jud ko ka tan aw ug Olympics events karon panahona!

The lady in the background wearing peach or orange ba kaha na, is Beth's high school classmate and friend.  Her name is Maria!  She is a wonderful woman.  Arte lang itsura pero such a real trouper! 

Wow!!! That sounded FUN, Dong!  I miss those days when we can just play in the rain!  Bitaw ba, why did we stop doing that when we are already in the big city!  hmmm, you gave me idea, Dong!  I will wait for the next rain to come...

hahahah! unsa may imong gipanihapon nga arang ka joker man nimo karon?

That's the thing kay wa pay panihapon kay after ko ga party, ga SSB (sakit sa baboy!)  ko after eating lechon so pirte nako'ng tulog jud!  Plus, I was so exhausted gahapon pretending to be smart while discussing the book Child of Two Worlds with the author - R. Mugo Gatheru! hahahahaha  take note, pretending lang!

Bitaw, magluto ko'g oatmeal sa kay gutom na!

attended a park party with the Visayan Association of Sacramento.  To my surprise, daghan Tagalog.  I asked one lady why.  Ingon, those are friends of the Visayans! hehehe I had fun.  Food was good!  We also played Bingo - my first ever play of BINGO.  Dali ra man diay but wa jud ko kadaog!

Ang elevator jud sa condo where I was living in Manila, maka claustrophobic jud oi kay daghan kaayo print with matching flowers pa! Nag reklamo jud mi sa Manager kay gaka panic attack ko kon naa ko sa elevator gani kay sa 4th floor ra ko adto!

One time, I had a business to take care sa Tektite in Ortigas.  I think they have 36 or more floors.  Sus kay ga hunong man every floor!  nah, gipanuhot ko pag abot sa top floor na akong destino!  Grabeh ka bugnaw akong singot!  I've seen other buildings na magpili bitaw ka kay naay certain floors na stop over dili na every floors mag hunong! 

Mao ni ang OT kay gikan sa escalator, nahimong elevator! hahahaha  wala pa ta ning abot ug alligator ani!

Speaking of escalators in the mall, while I was still in Cagayan de oro, my aunt from Davao Oriental came to visit us.  My auntie in CDO, my cousins and I took my aunt from Davao Oriental to the mall, the mall with escalator!  We were all at peace roaming around the mall when we decided to go to the second floor by escalator.  My CDO aunt took the lead while we followed - my Davao Oriental aunt was ahead of me while I was the last.  Ga liraw2x na akong mata kay makita na bitaw unsay naka display sa next floor.  Then to my big surprise, my Davao Oriental aunt, upon reaching the top of the floor, leaped up and landed so loudly on the floor with a loud thud!  All the people were looking at us and she looked triumphant!  My CDO aunt asked her, "ngano man ka ning lukso Florencia oi!"  Her answer should be a reminder to all of us  :  "Day, ingon man nila mamaak daw nang tumoy sa escalator so mao to ning lukso ko kay aron di ko ma paakan!"  Nah, kusog pa bya iyang tingog and the people were trying to stifle their laughter but we can obviously tell na nalingaw sila!  Take note, my Davao Oriental aunt is a veteran teacher! Sus, ning sutoy akong CDO aunt! ahahahahahah  So busa, be careful people kon mosakay mo'g escalator.  It's not a joke.   

You know, I seriously think that the Governor's Office should conduct its own investigation in this matter because it's not only the credibility of Benjie Oliva that is at stake here.  He is carrying the name of Bohol.  As you mentioned earlier Leo that you were excited when you and the rest of the others learned about the Best Performing Actor Award - umm I mean, Best Performing Commissioner Award because he is a Boholano.  It's the same feeling only in the opposite if he tarnish the name of Bohol in this manner. 

Uso na bya na dire na i leash ang mga kids kon manglakaw especially sa malls.  Magpalit bitaw ko para magamit ni Daddy kon iyang isuroy iyang mga apo!

Amen to that, Leo!

By the way, di ba na mention in your write up posted earlier that he forged signatures not just that of Sec. Puno but others too in Bohol.  I think that alone could pin him down.  Forgery case is not a joke. 

The father should have had watched the kid especially in riding escalators.  Kids are always kids (we don't really know how old the kid we are referring here) and always get fascinated to anything they see.  Even if eventually it would be proven that the mall operators are to blame for the accident, it will not make it right anymore if the boy lost his hand or something. 

If proven that there was malfunction of the switch control of the escalator, definitely the Mall owners are liable as well. They should have a routine check up of all their equipments. 

Accidents happen from time to time busa it helps to be cautious all the time - especially with kids around!

ah eh!  naa jud diay sakit na sya!  peligro bata pa, gasugod na iyang kabuang diay Leo!  Well then, the voters now know that to do next time! tsk tsk tsk 

Comm. Benjie Oliva should explain all these accusation in public and if he can't, which means tinuod diay, he shouldn't be allowed to hold any public office in the future kay hadlok kaayo iyang frame of mind when it comes to advancing himself politically.

donate pud ni baby matt pon ug children's books kay hilig kaau niya mga books.

Men, I have 16 volume of The Young Children's Encyclopedia.  This is supposed to be for all nieces and nephews kaso lang if I give this sa Manga, itago ra man tawon ni ni Maura aron di magisi daw.  I dunno unsaon pag apod na para di makamahay ang uban but I am sure Baby Matt and his teacher (Ma'am Inse) will appreciate these books.  In the meantime, ako sa lang magbasa ani. Informative jud kaayo!

pareha diay ta Grazie, paborito ang danggit og kitong ( the same specie ) labina na ug tinabalon...kanang dili parat kaayo... hehehe.

Note:
I'll be returning to Saudi this 15th Aug.; on your books/mags' donation to HIA; just please ask Gelyan or Paul (of Options & Concepts) to arrange delivery to Anda kon moabot na.  Daghang salamat kaaju.  May God give you more blessings in return.

Pareho jud diay ta kay Danggit and kitong man jud akong favorite.  Nakapalit bitaw mi sa Pinoy Store last week ni ytesskit/Hapon ug kitong, akong gi prito dayon kaming duha nangaon. Pagkatilaw sa akong bana, ganahan pod sya kaayo.  He asked me unsa daw name adto na isda, I told him "Rabbit Fish" kay mao man nakasulat didto sa tindahan.

OT:  on the books shipped, dapat ma abot na to diha no later than last week of this month kay it would take man about 30 to 45 days ang shipment period.  Sige, kabalo naman akong manghud mo adto sa imong office ug kaila naman sila ni Gelyan ug Paul.  Salamat kaayo Jun for giving me and Gemma the opportunity to contribute something  to your school.

Mas lam nang humbang nangka  ug gisubakan ug sapayan Jun kay di kontra sa hangin. Danggit bya jud ang akong pinaka favorite na isda = ma inun-on man or prito or sinugba! Nag laway uroy ko anang imong gipanghisgutan! I dunno if it was due to the lechon na akong gikaon, nakatulog jud ko while gapauli nami!  Lahi ra bya pod to na lechon di kasing lami sa atoa diha but ok na rin. 

I salute you too, Dong, for not long from now, you'll be a full-pledged doctor, a Fil-Am Doctor. 

breakfast:  soy milk with cookies

lunch:  lechon, bbq chicken, adobong squid, cucumber salad and macaroni salad. dessert:  binangkal  (there were tons of foods served at the Visayan park picnic but di na makaya sa power!)

Court’s decision is intended to placate protest. Public opinion is largely against an expanded Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Both Christians and Muslims are against the deal.

Zamboanga City (AsiaNews) â€" The Philippines Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order today to halt the signing of a deal between the government and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), following a wave of protest in the countr

Thousands of Christians and Muslims in Mindanao, southern Philippines, rallied today against the signing of the accord granting minority Muslims an expanded homeland.

Government and MILF negotiators had been headed for Malaysia to sign the memorandum of agreement tomorrow which lays down the new borders of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM)

The Supreme Court stopped the deal to placate popular anger even though for the government it would end the ten-year-old conflict with Muslim rebels.

Last month, both sides agreed to expand an existing six-province Muslim autonomous region to include 712 villages, subject to the agreement of residents in a plebiscite within a year. Some local leaders complained however about the danger of electoral fraud.

Catholics expressed their concern that a deal between the MILF and the government would lead to renewed sectarian violence and vowed to obstruct the government's plan to conclude the peace accord.

Zamboanga City Mayor led about 3,000 people in today’s protest outside City Hall (see photo).

Archbishop Romulo Valles also spoke during a protest action in Zamboanga City against the proposed Moro homeland.

Many shops in the city, which has been a frequent target of bomb attacks blamed on Muslim militants, closed for the day.

Locally there is a ground swell of support for keeping many Zamboanga City out of the ARMM.

The central government defended its choice saying that it was for the good of Mindanao and the country.

However, Sultan Esmail Kiram, heir to Sultanate of Sulu, a stronghold of Muslim extremism, expressed disgust over what he called government's insensitive action of offering the areas which have been part of the ancestral domain of Sultanate of Sulu since time immemorial, to the MILF without prior consultation.

Mindanao remains at the heart of the Philippines’ ongoing politico-religious crisis. For both the Filipino and US government a ceasefire is essential to transform the area which is an important economic and trade crossroad. Unfortunately confessional divisions are still an unresolved problem.

Aya san, asa man ni dapita?  It seems like you are having so much fun.  Daw beh kanang inyong attire, traditional ba na diha?  I mean, gasabot ba mo na ing-ana inyong sul-uton?  Cute bya ay!

Exactly, Maring.  The impeachment of Davis was successful because the CA's coffer was in red already.  Arnold was able to suppress the bleeding, I supposed, but I think something can still be done, budget-wise.  It's tough but we are in financial crises right now, not just California but the whole country.  Anyhow, I think there may be state jobs that are unnecessary na dapat i kaltas but reducing the salary is not gonna make things better for California.  Naa man ni domino effect dayon sa economy sa California kay makuhaan man pod ug purchasing power ang mga katawhan.  Down the line, mosamot ra hinuon kalisud California.  But what do I know.   

Fiel, may your Papa's soul rest in eternal peace in God's kingdom.  Take care.

Elsie dear, we wish you all the best and may God pour His blessings unto you.  Take care and see you back here after your exam.
