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:
  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 CARIBQUIB, BANNA, ILOCOS NORTE

by Flordelina B. Utleg - May 5, 2011


A popular local story also provides for the origin of the barangay’s name: • It is said that long time ago, the place was covered with thick forests and plenty of grasses. But when the early settlers practiced kaingin (slash and burn agriculture), the trees disappeared and the grasses dried up. Animals had to feed on scanty and dried grass. However, there was a certain place on the side of a hill where stunted grasses grew. It was there where the people gazed their animals. Since there were only few grasses, the animals had to kibkib (to consume bit by bit) the grasses. It is believed that this caused the people to name the place Caribquib. • The barangay has sprawling agricultural lands, forests and creeks (Manuel, Adonis B. Jan. 30, 2011)

HISTORY OF PARAISO TI CARIBQUIB

by Flordelina B. Utleg, April 25, 2011

The Paraiso ti Caribquib is situated in Sitio Daramuangan. It is three kilometers (3 km) away west from the National Highway. When HON. ADONIS B. MANUEL was still a Kagawad, he saw children always taking a bath in the dam. The dam was concreted in 1986 through the help of the Municipal Mayor, Hon. Carlito N. Abadilla. Water is coming from the falls.

When he was elected as Brgy. Chairman in the year 2007, it came to his mind to develop the place to make it a tourist spot. He called a meeting and he told his plans to the Brgy. Officials. So, they decided to go on with their plans. They were thinking what was the best name for the place. Everybody suggested names and they had chosen the name - Paraiso ti Caribquib because it is only the mountainous part of the barangay. The dam is in between the two mountains. At the southern part of the dam, the people can stay under the trees. Barangay folks are very cooperative in developing the place and after few months they had already put up four small cottages and one big cottage.

After some improvement, the barangay officials invited Bishop Sergio Lasam Utleg to hold a mass as well as to bless the place. From that time, some visitors, picnickers coming from different towns, students, tourists visited the place. It has Zipline and One hundred sixty meters (160) long which is the first zipline in Ilocos Norte and Hanging Bridge which has thirty (30) meters long connecting the two mountains and it was placed near the ending area of the zipline. The grotto of Virgin Mary is situated at the mountain side of the northern part of the zipline. The zipline and hanging bridge were funded by the municipality through the leadership of Mayor Carlito Abadilla II and Vice Mayor Carlito N. Abadilla.

The land area of the Paraiso is One thousand (100) hectares which was awarded by the DENR. Every day, there are three (3) officials who are assigned at the entrance to be responsible for collecting the entrance and cottage fees. The entrance fee is Five Pesos (P5.00) and the fee for small cottage is Two hundred Pesos (P200.00) while the big cottage is Four hundred Pesos (P400.00). The zipline fee is Fifty Pesos (P50.00) per ride.

The barangay folks are thanking the Almighty Father for giving them the Paraiso and also the National, Municipal and Barangay leaders who molded and inspired the constituents of the barangay to have teach the value of discipline, unity, cooperation, cleanliness and environmental awareness, thus making Barangay CARIBQUIB a progressive, peaceful and beautiful place to live in.

Brief Profile of Barangay Caribquib

• Barangay Caribquib, one of the twenty barangays of Banna, Ilocos Norte, is located on the north part of the municipality. It is found three kilometers north of the poblacion. It is bounded on the south by Barangay Valenciano of the same municipality, on the north by Barangay Fortuna, Marcos, Ilocos Norte, on the west by Barangay Barbarangay, another barangay of Banna and on the east by Barangay Tabtabagan, Banna, Ilocos Norte. It has a total land area of six hundred hectares ( 600 ha.). • Barangay Caribquib is composed of the following sitios: Caribquib Proper, Dispensa, San Juan, Nanamburan and Daramuangan. These sitios are far from each other. • This barangay was established in 1913 when Banna became a regular municipality after it was separated from the Municipality of Batac, Ilocos Norte. • The original families were those of Pedro Valentino, Tranquilino Dimaya and Apolonio Dizol. The earliest tenientes del barrio were: Tranquilino Dimaya, Francisco Ramones, Herminigildo Valentino, Blas Braceros, Valentin Limet, Saturnino Tabucbuc, Francisco Aspili, Aurelio Romualdo, Mardonio Quimoyog, Paulino Lumbo, Fermin Valentino and Januario Pascua.

A popular local story also provides for the origin of the barangay’s name: • It is said that long time ago, the place was covered with thick forests and plenty of grasses. But when the early settlers practiced kaingin (slash and burn agriculture), the trees disappeared and the grasses dried up. Animals had to feed on scanty and dried grass. However, there was a certain place on the side of a hill where stunted grasses grew. It was there where the people gazed their animals. Since there were only few grasses, the animals had to kibkib (to consume bit by bit) the grasses. It is believed that this caused the people to name the place Caribquib. • The barangay has sprawling agricultural lands, forests and creeks. Farming is the primary occupation of the people whose main crops are rice, garlic, tobacco and onions. Aside from the farmers, many of the people in the place work as teachers, employees, businessmen and balikbayans. • A public elementary school and a national secondary school are situated in the barangay and these institutions serve as the educational grounds for the barangay’s young children and learners. • Barangay Caribquib is one of the most agriculturally productive barangays of the municipality contributing to food security and to the economic prosperity in the locality. • Owing to the culture of the place and in keeping with tradition the residents of Barangay Caribquib are an industrious, frugal and disciplined people. This can be manifested by an above-average and more affluent lifestyle enjoyed by the barangay’s inhabitants. • Because of the existence of an elementary and secondary school within the barangay, there is a higher rate of literacy among the people. And as a barangay situated along a major road, the Ilocos Norte- Abra National Highway, there is a greater opportunity for the barangay’s learners to pursue post secondary and tertiary level education. Thus, there is a higher ratio of college graduates and professionals than is usually found in the more remote barangays of the municipality. • Barangay Caribquib has also attained other areas of distinction in the municipality. Owing to a diligent , dedicated and committed barangay government headed by equally diligent, dedicated and committed barangay officials, Barangay Caribquib has attained the distinction of winning ( three – time Champion , Category A) the municipality’s OPLAN SALUKAG PROGRAM ( Operation Plan: Saluadam Lugar Ken Aglawlaw), an environmental program and competition initiated and conducted annually by the Local Government of Banna. Likewise, Barangay Caribquib has been a consistent winner ( three-time 1ST Place Awardee) of the CARLY AWARDS ( Community Acclaimed Rural Legislators of the Year Awards) also held annually in the municipality.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND COST:

• The Banna Zipline Project is located in the Paraiso ti Caribquib, in particular, on the sprawling forest area and creek on the western part of Barangay Caribquib, at Sitio Daramuangan. • At first the banks along the creek of the Paraiso ti Caribquib was just an alternative site for a picnic for those who had had enough of the sun and water afforded by the town’s rivers , and the soaring hills and forests around the creek as another destination for a trek for the more adventurous type. • The Sitio of Daramuangan wherein can be found the Paraiso ti Caribquib became the venue of a Walk for a Cause conducted in the Year of 2007 by the Roman Catholic Church -Parish of San Roque . Likewise, a Mass and a Thanksgiving Service was held at the same venue, with the presence of the Diocesian Bishop Sergio Utleg. Then Municipal Mayor, Honorable CARLITO A. ABADILLA II attended both events and saw the area’s potential. • It is noteworthy to mention at this juncture that the Municipality of Banna, Ilocos Norte represented by then Municipal Mayor Honorable CARLITO A. ABADILLA II witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement for the development of a one hundred-hectare ( 100 ha.) area under a co-management scheme with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) of ILOCOS NORTE and the Barangay Council of Caribquib represented by Punong Barangay Adonis Manuel for eco-tourism cum forest protection purposes. • Wishing to start developing the site, the Barangay Government of Caribquib and its constituents, through self-help, built a handful of cottages on one side of the creek. • But it was through the stroke of genius of Honorable Carly Abadilla II, then at the helm of the Local Government of Banna, and greatly inspired to develop the area as an eco-tourism venture and as a premier destination for pleasure and recreation for people, vacationers and visitors that the Paraiso ti Caribquib became famous and a destination of choice. • With an allocation from the Banna Municipal Fund, the Banna Zipline Project, the first ever to be built and installed in the whole Province of Ilocos Norte ,became a reality. To complement the exhilarating experience derived from a heart-stopping ride at the Zipline, a Hanging Bridge was built by the Local Government Of Banna, Ilocos Norte near the Zipline. This hanging bridge induces the same adrenaline- producing experience given by the Zipline. • Due to the daily large number of people visiting the Paraiso and wishing to ride the Zipline and walk on the Hanging Bridge, the Barangay Government of Caribquib installed additional cottages along the banks at a cost of Twenty Five Thousand Pesos and landscaped the areas in the site for added attraction. Donations from other sources greatly helped to improve the area.

An area of the forest has been cleared to serve as parking space for vehicles carrying visitors to the area. • The Barangay Government of Caribquib manages the operation of the Paraiso Ti Caribquib Resort, including the Zipline , Hanging Bridge and other facilities in the site. • For those wishing to visit the Paraiso Ti Caribquib avail of its facilities at the following cost: : • Cottage Fee: Php 200.00 / cottage/day • Entrance Fee: Php 5.00 per head • Zipline: Php 50.00/ride

Some part of the way going to the mountain is only 3 feet wide and very slippery when wet. Some were lost on their way. There were only three (3) persons who reached the top of the mountain, Mr. Calaramo, and the 2 CTE students. The group was not able to plant because there was a heavy downpour. They came down from the mountain and some even slipped. Almost all of them were wet. To enjoy the rest of the time, some went to try the zipline. The zipline is 160 meters long. It is the first zipline in Ilocos Norte. Some tried to walk also in the hanging bridge.

Before the group left the place, Mr. Calaramo promised to the officials in cooperation with Ms. Utleg that Paraiso will be developed until December, 2010. The officials were very thankful and happy of what Mr. Calaramo promised.

The group left Paraiso ti Caribquib at 4:00 P.M. during the heavy downpour.


PHASE 4

TREE PLANTING IN PARAISO TI CARIBQUIB, BANNA, ILOCOS NORTE ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2010


Climbing the mountain to plant trees is the greatest adventure of an individual. It measures how strong and healthy a person is and how he loves the mother earth.

The thirteen CTE students and Mr. Michael Jay Calaramo with the three (3) Northwestern University security guards left Northwestern University campus at 7:45 in the morning. The CTE-SO adviser, Ms. Flordelina B. Utleg with her sister and her friend waited for them at the Laoag-Gabu Road junction. While they were at the junction, they took a picture while waiting for one (1) CTE student. The group rode in a dump truck with laughter. They stayed at the back. The adviser and her sister sat in front. The group reached Paraiso ti Caribquib at 8:45 A.M. They took a rest for few a minutes.

At 9:00 o’clock the group with some barangay officials carried the seedlings and proceeded to the way going to the mountain. Mr. Calaramo was left because he was busy planning and sketching the other side of the mountain. They walked beside the zipline center. When they were about thirty (30) meters away from the zipline, somebody shouted to tell them that they should go back. They went down and proceeded to the other way beside the videooke center.

While they were climbing the mountain, cheerfulness characterized by laughter pervaded. The students and some officials were very fast to walk and it was very slippery. The adviser sometimes held the weeds when she climbed. When the way was so steep and slippery, the guard held her hand and pulled her so she could go up. Some slippers were destroyed. The group sat down and took a little rest when they got tired and they teased each other. Though how tired they were, still they felt joy and happiness. The security guards informed the group that they enjoyed the activity. They suggested their participation in a similar activity.

They planted some Gmelina seedlings on the way going up the mountain. They reached the peak of the mountain after 30-45 minutes and while they sat down for few minutes to rest, one dragonfly alighted on her foot and after few minutes another came. This brought another hilarious experience. They knew they have come part of the environment.

After rest, the officials dug holes where they planted the seedlings. They worked and fast and though they were sweating profusely under the heat of the sun they were swept with feelings of satisfaction because their goal of helping restore the balance of nature through tree planting was achieved. They never complained of fatigue. Taking pictures while planting was another experience which brought joy. This is for posterity.

The last seedling was planted by the adviser.  The security guards made a tree guard for her plant and labeled it, “LINA NWU” (LINA the four ending letters of FLORDELINA).  

After planting, they devoured the “Dingdong cornik” they brought. They drank the cold water which the barangay officials brought.

When they started to go down at 11:20 A.M., they were grouped into three. The first group told that there is another way going down. The second group did not follow. They followed the way where they passed when they went up. The third group (adviser’s group) decided whom to follow. At first, they followed the first group but when the second group shouted that there was no way going down where they went. The two groups went back and followed the second group. They were all laughing when they were all together going down again.

When they reached the cottage where they left their baggage, they told the adviser that they were so hungry. The adviser told them to bring out the foods. Mariecris Duldulao, the CTE-SO Treasurer, and Gladys Bumanglag, the CTE-SO President, went to buy soft drinks for the group. Mr. Michael Jay Calaramo with the three security guards took their lunch at the town proper. Some of the group together with the adviser went to take a bath first at the dam. Because the water was deep so they preferred to bathe using the flowing water from a hose. After taking a bath, they went back to the cottage and took their lunch. One official came to give foods for the group and asked for Mr. Calaramo. The adviser called Mr. Calaramo by her mobile phone telling him that the officials prepared lunch for them. Mr. Calaramo came back after a few minutes. He and the adviser joined the officials to take their lunch.

At 1:00 in the afternoon, they left the place. The group who took a bath did not change their clothes. They were wet when they went home. They reached Laoag at 2:00 o’clock and they went directly to Payas Botanical Garden. The group went inside the “Butterfly cage” and had picture taking. The group left the place after 30 minutes. Mr. Calaramo told the group that they will go back to Paraiso ti Caribquib again after the intramurals.

Everybody went home with combined feelings of joy and contentment.
