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 Cabatangan, Zamboanga City

Long before the coming of the Spaniards to Zamboanga, the places here had no name. It was only upon the arrival of the Spaniards when the places here got their names. This is how Cabatangan was named.

The first thing that the Spaniards did on their arrival was to go sight-seeing and get better acquainted with the place and the people. One day, the Spaniards reached the place where they saw natives trekking down the hills carrying long bamboo tubes which apparently were to be filled with water from the river.

Though the Spaniards did not know the dialect, their curiosity was such that one of them asked the natives, what the name of their village was. Thinking that the former wanted to know what they were carrying, the natives answered “Batango”.

After the incident, the place was called “CABATANGAN” by the Spaniards.

Protect the environment

It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.

Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!

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

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.

We have so much water in the Philippines and yet very little to drink.

Instead of relying too much on Diesel fuel and Coal to generate the majority of Philippine's Electrical energy Supply, we can concentrate more on renewable and sustainable source of energy such as: Hydro Power, Solar Power, and Wind Power and thermal energy conversion. We have too many black outs.

I have lived in Zamboanga City for years & moved to America in 1994. My mom Mary Kuan,& my dad Antonio Aizon bought land from Mr. Machado in 1987 & started construction on our house a year later. I never wanted to leave Cabatangan, I had the greatest friends & a lot of family down the street in Pasonanca. The people of Cabatangan are the most humble,& generous.(real people!) I miss it there so much, my grandfather; Rafael Yap Aizon recently passed away,& I regreted not being able to attend his funeral.

As I recall Cabatangan was famous for it's massive statue of a human with a head of an Eagle. When I was a child we used to go there on Sundays where my aunt tried (as in tried but never did) to learn how to drive and we nearly fell into the rice fields. But I bet the rice fields are long gone now!

Cabatangan Siege - Conflict: ARMM borbarded by AFP November 27, 2001

Source:www.internal-displacement.org

DISPLACEMENT FACT SHEET
Fact Sheet Title : Cabatangan Armed Conflict
Case : Mass Evacuation
Date of Incident : November 27, 2001
Place of Incidence : Cabatangan Complex, Barangay Cabatangan, Zamboanga City
Victims : 1,134 families (still rapidly increasing to approximately 2,000 families) from the affected areas of Cabatangan, Sta. Maria, San Roque and Pasonanca.
Motive : Intensive air strike and ground assault on more than 300 MNLF-Misuari loyalist faction occupying some buildings at the Cabatangan Complex, site of ARMM satellite office in Zamboanga City

NARRATIVE ACCOUNT OF THE INCIDENT:

Displaced families have sought safer temporary shelters in different evacuation centers put up in Sta. Maria Elementary School, Pasonanca Elementary School, San Roque Elementary School, San Roque Parish, Baliwasan Central School, Joaquin Enriquez Memorial Complex, Western Immaculate Archdiocesan School, Southcom High School, Kanukutan Km. 7, Pasonanca Elementary School, Cabatangan Elementary School, Putik Central Elementary School and Tetuan Elementary School.

The mass exodus of more than 1,300 families is a result of massive air strikes and ground assault conducted by government troops as early as 4:00 a.m. of November 27, 2001 at the Cabatangan Complex, site of the ARMM Property in Zamboanga City. The complex also houses the different regional government offices such as the Commission on Audit, Population Commission, Civil Service Commission, Area Vocational Rehabilitation Center, DECS Training Center and the Zamboanga Arturo Eustaquio College Department of Criminology.

The displacement of the civilians actually started last November 19, 2001 as more than 300 MNLF-Misuari faction occupied the Lupong Taga-pagpaganap ng Purok in Cabatangan and reportedly harassed the residents.

Last November 19, 2001, hundreds of former MNLF fighters raided military detachments and attacked with mortars a major Army base in Jolo, Sulu. The encounter left 51 gunmen-renegades, 4 soldiers, and 7 civilians dead and more than 40 others were wounded. Sulu Governor, Yusop Jikir said more than 1,600 families or approximately 10,000 dependents have fled their homes for fear of a larger attack by the Misuari-led faction allegedly joined-in by Abu Sayyaf elements.


Sulu has now 4,000 soldiers comprising eight battalions. This is in the wake of MNLFMisuari faction taking up rebellious stance against the government. The faction’s leadership is maintaining that the upcoming ARMM elections (November 26, 2001) is a blatant violation of the peace accord and a sign of disrespect for the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) which during its Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers in Bamako, Mali in June 2001 adopted a resolution urging the Philippine government to postpone the ARMM elections to year 2003 pending full implementation of the GRPMNLF Peace Accord. The disgruntled faction also claims that the Arroyo administration turned its back on the MNLF. Misuari was ousted early this year as chieftain of the once powerful separatists rebel group by his own deputies led by Dr. Parouk Hussin, now President Arroyo’s adviser for Mindanao Affairs and most potent ARMM gubernatorial candidate. A senior MNLF official said that Misuari is still the MNLF Chairman and the OIC is recognizing him as the only leader of the MNLF. The same official said that he received reports that disgruntled MNLF gunmen also attacked the regional office of the Commission on Elections in Cotabato City last November 18, 2001 but there were no reports of casualties. Military and MNLF forces also clashed Monday morning in remote villages in Pikit town in North Cotabato.

Reports of the impending attack on this city by the guerillas resulted on the suspension of classes at all levels last November 19, 2001. Six new aircrafts comprising 3 SF26 fighters, 2 Huey helicopters, 1 OV10 Bomber and 12 pilots were sent off at the Edwin Andrews’ Airbase. The November 27 military operation that ensued aggravated the situation as MNLF elements who were flushed out from their post in Cabatangan scattered to civilian residential communities in Sta. Maria, Pasonanca, Malagutay and San Roque. Cornered, the renegades took civilians as hostage and used them as human shields from military offensives. A still undetermined number of civilian casualties both dead and wounded were also officially reported at the height of the conflict.

The City Social Welfare and Development Office, Social Action Center Archdiocese of Zamboanga and the larger civil society have conducted round-the –clock relief operations in the different evacuation centers. As of November 27, 2001, twenty-five (25) of the eighty-one (81) hostages were released unconditionally. However, an undetermined number of hostages are still being held hostage in Cabatangan.

The armed conflict paralyzed the regular business activities, banking operations, transportation, and education and virtually turned the city within its seven-kilometer radius a deserted town.
