The Philippines has been a "decentralized" form of government since 1991, contrary to what most Filipinos think. Ever since the creation of Republic Act 7160, each LGU is responsible for its own domain. Even the smallest LGU the barangay creates its own Budget. It is not dependent on handouts from the city, municipality or province. "IMPERIAL MANILA IS A MYTH!", it does not exist anymore. The Philippine budget formulation system is not centralized. "Budgetary planning has been DECENTRALIZED since 1991". It is the responsibility of each LGU to submit their budgetary needs for review. Failure to submit is the problem.

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion. But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened . Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions. Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE? Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace? WHY?? There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance: The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

Bucloc, 51 kilometers away from Bangued, is sandwiched between the municipalities of Daguioman on the east, Boliney on the south, Sallapadan on the north and Boliney-Sallapadan on the west.

History of Bucloc, Abra, Philippines

Among the early known settlers of Bucloc is Capitan Daodawen of Cabaruyan, Daguioman. He was the only son of Maday-acan, who migrated from “Vhotloc”, Dao-angan, Kalinga-Apayao. Later on, Maday-acan migrated to Bingtitan, Bacao, Sallapadan where he married Ao-wanen of Masadiit who was of Masadi-iy and Binongan parentage.

In January 1952, Capitan Daodawen celebrated his 115th birth year, based on record of a citation in his honor given during the Spanish regime. The would fix his birth year somewhere in 1837. He died in 1957.

At the turn of the 19th century, Maday-acan and his brothers Wanawan and Wadwadan from Vhotloc, Dao-angan together with Siddayao and his brothers Gaddawon and Cagayongan from Longwa-an, Balbalasang, Kalinga migrated to the lowlands called “day-as” in Kalinga. Madayacan proceeded to Bangtitan, Bacao but Siddayao and company stopped at Nagasasan. Presumably, they had previous contact with the people of Bacao or that they had relatives among them. During their stay in these places, they took time to explore the adjacent territories and they discovered a valley (now Bucloc-Daguioman), a very good place for settlement. Maday-acan and his group later moved to Codal, Ud-udiao, Sallapadan where his only son, Daodawen,was born.

One day, Siddayao visited his cousins Bayay and Puglay at Pacsal, Sallapadan and proposed to them that they all moved down to the valley. In honor of the occasion, Puglay butchered a big fat pig and drunk wine from a bamboo tube 7-8 meters long. Looking at the bile of the pig butchered, they foresaw the success of their planed move down the valley. For their own convenience and protection from other tribes, Siddayao and his group occupied the eastern part of the valley from Lingey upstream.

Peglay and group were awarded the lower part of the land from Lamao westward. The early settlers named their own abode “Vhotloc” which was the name of the former abode of Maday-acan and family at Kalinga. “Vhotloc” means the “land of flowing or living streams” describing the new settlement which has a river with numerous brooks or creeks. To the early settlers, Vhotloc was the land of promise, if not “Beulah land”. Siddayao and his group of families settled first at Baniwas, then at Cadacad and finally at Lingey during the third or fourth year since moving into the valley. Peglay with the group of the same number of families moved in two groups at Daldalao and Lamao.

In a decade or more, Siddayao became a widower. He married an Amazonian beauty from Guina-ang, Pasil, Kalinga by the name of Danny. When Siddayao went to Guina-ang to consummate his marriage to Danny, he went to Balatoc and invited the relatives of Danny to migrate to Danac. Danac was explored by Siddayao a few years before his second marriage. Passing through Banao, now Pantikian, Kalinga, he invited his relatives to come down to ”Vhotloc”. Siddayao with his new bride moved and settled finally in Lamao where they died of old age.

In the meantime, the group of men went headhunting at Bangkagan, Luba. Bayay, as a leader, is with the group looking for a victim. They saw instead a beautiful lady taking a bath in a spring above her village. Bayay fell in love with the woman that he negated his initial purpose. What followed was a marriage between Bayay and the lady namedTannao. Tannao was said to be a beautiful lady with aquiline nose, fair complexion and and golden hair. The marriage of Tannao and Bayay ended the feud and headhunting between the Bannao and Maleng clans of Luba and Tubo. Bayay finally settled in Luba, but two of his immediate progeny were married later in Lamao, Catimban and Banawa. Banawa is remembered in local history as the runner who warned the people of Tiempoof the headhunters from Banao. As a result, Daluping of Danao was killed and several men of Banao group were wounded.

When Spanish sovereignty was establish, the seat of government was in San Andres now Lingoy. Siddayao as the Gobernadorcillo invited many of his clansmen from Banao. The migrants later populated Cabaruyan, Pikek, Tui and Ableg. Among the migrants who became officials were; Andomang, Gaddawan, Salabao, Di-ig, Cagayongan and Daodawen. Daodawen served as Gobernadorcillo from the Spanish Era until the arrival of the Americans. With the coming of the Americans, the first official to be appointed was Daligdig, which was a reward for helping the Americans against the “insurrectors”. Daligdig was succeeded by Bitakong, Sagmayao, Quelang and Lumawig among others.

When the town was re-organized, Sallapadan became a town in 1917 including in its territory barangays Lamao down to Ducligan. Lingey up to Ableg remained as territory of San Andresdue to the anomalous conduct of elections in Sallapadan, Lubuagen and some of the leaders of Bucloc petitioned the national government for a new town. In 1920, Bucloc was founded covering the barrios of Ducligan, Labaan,Lamao and Lingey. The first “President” was Lubuagen.

Up to the time, Bucloc is still composed of 4 barangays, namely: Ducligan, Labaan,Lamao (poblacion), and Lingey. (source verbatim from: http://www.abra.gov.ph/)

Barangay's power and authority: A must read for all barangay officials

This is the "Barangay Code of the Philippines".

A Barangay Clearance is NEEDED in order to get a Business License. So why is the barangay name not in most business addresses? Ask your Barangay Captain/Chairman to create a Resolution to make it mandatory to put the barangay name in all Business addresses.

Every Government Unit in the Philippines is within a Barangay. The municipal hall, city hall, the provincial capitol building, and even the Malacañang Palace where the president resides is within a Barangay.

The barangay has power and authority over its domain. The improvement of the barangay rests on the barangay officials. The barangay chairman, the barangay council and the local businessmen forge the prosperity of the barangay. Not the president of the Philippines, senate, nor congress. Not the governor of the province, not the mayor nor council of the municipality or city. Poor barangays stay poor because of weak and/or ignorant(uninformed) barangay leaders.

When roads or any infrastructure need to be built, improved or repaired, all the barangay officials have to do is make a resolution and present it to the city or municipality council. The resolution will force the city/municipal council or responsible government office to hear the legitimate demands. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."

Each city or municipality is represented by the "barangay association or federation". The elected president of the Association of Barangay Council and the President of Kabataan (SK) association each have a seat in the City/Municipality council. Their powers are the same and equal to the elected city/municipality councilors. They are there to help lobby the demands of the barangays. They are not there just to collect a big salary and rub elbows with the regular elected city/municipality council, but to also represent the needs of the barangays.

The duties of the barangay officials are specifically written in Chapter III(Punong Barangay) and Chapter IV (The Sangguniang Barangay). Read it..

Practically anything that has to do with the barangay, the barangay officials have a say on it and most likely the authority over it. The majority of the barangay officials are not aware of their duties and power. They depend on the city council or mayor. The elected barangay officials are afraid of the mayor and city/municipality's "Sangguniang Panlungsod". They are in fear of being ousted or removed from office. The truth is, the "Sangguniang Panlungsod" does not have the power to remove or suspend any elected barangay officials from office. Only the COURT OF LAW can do this (judicial branch of the government). Elected public officials can't be suspended by the DILG or the office of the president unless an official complaint has been filed, there must be proof and there must be due process. Republic Act 7160 chapter 4, Section 60. Information is power. Be informed. Do not be intimidated by the president, senator, congressman, governor, mayor, vice-mayor, or councilors. Do your job.

The control of traffic is not up to the city council or chief of police. It is controlled by the barangay. If the barangay needs traffic enforcers, the barangay can make a resolution to demand it from the city or municipality council. When the electric coop or the water district do not maintain their lines, the barangay can directly demand for the maintenance from the utility companies. No need to wait for city council.

The citizens also has the power to make demands to the barangay officials. In case the officials get blinded. Simply file an official complaint with the barangay secretary naming the Punong barangay as the respondent representing the barangay.

If the power lines are sagging, don't go to the power company, go to the barangay office. Ask the barangay for a DEMAND resolution against the power company.

If the water lines are busted, don't wait for the water company, go to the barangay office. Ask the barangay for a DEMAND resolution against the water company.

If the potholes in the road are not fixed, don't wait for the The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), go to the barangay office. Ask the barangay for a DEMAND resolution against the DPWH.

Are you beginning to get the point?

Cleaning the shorelines, drainage systems, streets, rivers, and parks within your barangay is YOUR responsibility. You are accountable for this. It is not the responsibility of the City/Municipality officials. The citizens and officials of the barangay are responsible. Stop blaming others.

• BUDGET: As far as the preparation for the budget expenditures, it starts at the barangay level, then moves on to cities, municipalities, provinces and regions. The barangays need to exercise their authority. They need to put their yearly budget together for their administration and future projects. The majority of the barangays leave this job to the municipality and city. This is so wrong. Then when the budget doesn't come or is lacking, they complain.
• The budget for the barangays does go to the City or Municipality, but simply for holding and later distribution. The city or municipality DOES NOT approve the budget. It was already approved by congress. The city or municipality simply "distributes" the approved budget.
• The bureau of internal revenue is in cahoots to subdue the barangays, municipalities and provinces. They call the rightful shares to the taxes collected as "Internal Revenue Allotment Dependency". It is not a dependency. It is the lawful and rightful share of the LGU as specified in "TITLE III, SHARES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS IN THE PROCEEDS OF NATIONAL TAXES, CHAPTER I, Allotment of Internal Revenue Taxes, Section 284."
• "IMPERIAL MANILA IS A MYTH!", it does not exist anymore. The Philippine budget formulation system is not centralized. "Budgetary planning has been DECENTRALIZED since 1991". It is the responsibility of each LGU to submit their budgetary needs for review. Failure to submit is the problem.
• DURING ELECTIONS: Where do City and Municipality politicians go to campaign? They seek the support of the Barangay officials. They plead to the barangay folks for the votes. Even the candidate for president. But after the election they ignore you. Do not ever forget the power of the barangay.

Ignorance keeps the pinoys thinking that Manila rules. Be informed, be educated and make your barangay prosper.

• Absolutely NO need for FEDERALISM. It is a ploy to give the Bangsamoro an Islamic State where the religion of Islam is financed by the Philippine government. Bangsamoro will be a HOMELAND not for all Filipinos but for only the Muslim Filipinos. It violates the constitution's "separation of church and state". Religion is always good for the people but it should never be embraced or financed by government. Tax exemption is not tantamount to financing. Every non-profit organization is tax-exempt.

• Plant More Trees

Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.

The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.

To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.

Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More

• Save The Rivers in the Philippines. They are Dying.

We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.

This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.
