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:
  1. 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.
  2. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

History of Ilocos Norte, Philippines

Long before the coming of the Spaniards, there already existed an extensive region (consisting of the present provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Abra and La Union) renowned for its gold mines. Merchants from Japan and China would often visit the area to trade gold with beads, ceramics and silk. The inhabitants of the region, believed to be of Malay origin, called their place "samtoy", from "sao mi toy", which literally meant "our language here"

In 1591, when the Spanish conquistadors had Manila more or less under their control, they began looking for new sites to conquer. Legaspi's grandson, Juan De Salcedo, volunteered to lead one of these expeditions. Together with 8 armed boats and 45 men, the 22 year old voyager headed north. On June 13, 1592, Salcedo and his men landed in Vigan and then proceeded towards Laoag, Currimao and Badoc. As they sailed along the coast, they were surprised to see numerous sheltered coves ("looc") where the locals lived in harmony. As a result, they named the region "Ylocos" and its people "Ylocanos".

As the Christianization of the region grew, so did the landscape of the area. Vast tracks of land were utilized for churches and bell towers in line with the Spanish mission of "bajo las campanas". In the town plaza, it was not uncommon to see garrisons under the church bells. The colonization process was slowly being carried out.

The Spanish colonization of the region, however, was never completely successful. Owing to the abusive practices of many Augustinian friars, a number of Ilocanos revolted against their colonizers. Noteworthy of these were the Dingras uprising (1589) and Pedro Almasan revolt (San Nicolas, 1660). In 1762, Diego Silang led a series of battles aimed at freeing the Ilocanos from the Spanish yoke. When he died from an assassin's bullet, his widow Gabriela continued the cause. Unfortunately, she too was captured and hanged. In 1807, the sugar cane ("basi") brewers of Piddig rose up in arms to protest the government's monopoly of the wine industry. In 1898, the church excommunicated Gregorio Aglipay for refusing to cut off ties with the revolutionary forces of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. Unperturbed, he established the "Iglesia Filipina Independiente". Aglipay’s movement and the nationalist sentiment it espoused helped restore the self-respect of many Filipinos.

In an effort to gain more political control and because of the increasing population of the region, a Royal Decree was signed on February 2, 1818 splitting Ilocos into two provinces: Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur. Soon thereafter, the provinces of La Union and Abra likewise became independent.

CJ prosecutor takes a break, learns how to ride bike safely with family

WITH the impeachment hearing of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona on a break until May, one of the lead prosecutors, Ilocos Norte (1st District) Representative Rodolfo C. Fariñas has done what could be almost impossible for a 60-year old man like him: learn how to ride a big bike with his family the Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group way.

On Monday, the long-time former Ilocos Norte governor and mayor, his daughter Ria Christina; sons Baba, Juni, Jr., Carlos, Baby Boy and Rudy and cousin, Laoag City Mayor Michael V. Fariñas began a grueling HPG Executive Motorcycle Riding Course that will make them better motorcycle riders, with safety as their main concern.

PNP-HPG director, Chief Superintendent Leonardo A. Espina opened the special HPG motorcycle riding course for the Fariñas family when he visited officers and men of the Regional Highway Patrol Unit 1 headed by Senior Supt. Magno S. Biag to personally inspect their summer vacation preparations to ensure a safe and secure travel in Ilocos-Pangasinan region.

Rep. Fariñas told the Journal Group that it has been his and his family’s long-time wish to become a certified HPG Rider, complete with a Rider’s Badge that will authorize each of them to wear the special badge.

“This means much to me. This is also part of our dedication to enforce the law in Ilocos Norte and abide with all traffic rules and regulations in the province and elsewhere in the country,” said Fariñas as he led his kids and cousin in performing the standard HPG Riders’ exercises, dropping to the ground and banking left and right and performing the motorcycle crash.

The routines are inculcated in the mind of the trainees in order to protect them from accidental falls or crashes that may maim or kill an ordinary motorcycle driver. All HPG Riders are trained to hold tightly on their motorcycle in case of a crash since the vehicle’s crash guards will protect them.

“Ipit tangke. Walang bibitiw. Walang paa o kamay na tutukod,” course instructor, Supt. Bonifacio L. Bosita barked at his famous students.

The lawmaker said he will use his new-found skills in launching a massive motorcycle safety program and road discipline project in the province and other parts of the country if possible. Not bad for a city where the Helmet Law is strictly implemented by the local police and Mayor Fariñas’ men.

Elected as mayor of Laoag City at the young age of 28, Fariñas recounted that he launched a massive peace and order drive in the city under a program called DOC or ‘discipline and order campaign.

“I saw to it that all traffic rules and regulations will be enforced in the city, particularly the helmet law and driving without license or under the influence of liquor,” he said.

Fariñas even showed copies of old Land Transportation Office traffic citation tickets issued to his office when they were deputized by the agency to strictly enforce all traffic rules and regulations in their area.
