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.

History of Oroquieta City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines

article: Verbatim from the LGU of Oroquieta City

"Layawan was the oldest name of Oroquieta, which was the barrio in the province of Misamis since 1861 until 1879. The early settlers then of the barrio were Boholano peddlers. They found so many stray animals along the river, thus they named the place Layawan, which means a place of stray animals. A little later, Misamis was divided into two provinces, Misamis Occidental and Oriental. Then in 1880, Layawan changed its name into Oroquieta when it became a town. Some sources revealed that the town got its name from a famous barrio in Spain where Father Toas Tomas Casado, the first parish priest here and General Domingo Mariones y Murillo, a hero in the battle of Oroquieta, were born."

"Another version is that Oroquieta had derived its name from the word ‘ORO’ and ‘KITA’. The early inhabitants then had found gold along the river. Thus, the name ‘ORO’ which means Gold and ‘QUITA’ or ‘KITA’ which means to find"

Kaya Iloilo sweeps Group B in Copa '21

MANILA – Kaya Iloilo pipped Mendiola with a 6-0 beating on Wednesday night to complete a sweep of Group B action in the Copa Paulino Alcantara at the PFF National Training Centre in Carmona.

A Jovin Bedic brace in the first half set the tone for the inaugural tournament champ even as the club netted three goals in each of the two halves to seal the top seed in its group ahead of the semifinals next week.

Bedic capitalized on an erroneous Mendiola attempt to keep the ball out of his reach and quickly raced inside the penalty box to open the scoring for Kaya Iloilo in the 11th minute.

Household composting is mandatory in Oroquieta City
by Rutchie Cabahug-Aguhob
Oroquieta City (28 May 2009) -- "We have made household composting mandatory in all our 47 barangays and so far, we have a 90% household level efficiency in our waste segregation compliance."

Thus explained Mayor Jorge Almonte of Oroquieta City in Misamis Occidental, one of the 93 local government units (LGU's) of Northern Mindanao that has successfully implemented Republic Act 9003 or the Solid Waste Act.

The Mayor Oroquieta City who will brief President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Oroquieta's initiatives in solid waste management during her visit on Friday, May 29, said the Oroquieta City generates some 35 tons of waste per day and its household level of compliance for waste segregation at source is only 10% away from 100% SWM compliance.

Almonte said Oroquieta's Solid Waste Management Information Sheet (SWMIS) as of May, this year, also shows the profile of the volume of waste generation in the city, namely, 9.8% residuals, 86% compostables and 4.2% recyclables.

As to collection method, all 47 barangays are serviced by a compactor and dump trucks which are made available on a scheduled collection system as indicated in the SWMIS, Mayor Almonte said.

So far, we have established a Material Recovery System on a 10.2 hectare area in Barangay Villaflor where a controlled dump for residuals is put up and have submitted a 10-Year SWM Plan to the National SWM Commission, Almonte added.
