BARCELONA — Children in this seaside town brave sun and rain to gather day-old crabs to eke out a living.
A BATTALION commander relieved in connection with the death of four soldiers in an attack staged recently by the New People’s Army in Camarines Norte has been given another post in a higher unit.


At low tide, they gather crablets that sell for 75 centavos to P3 a piece to local buyers in Sorsogon for delivery to Pampanga and other regions where they are processed and sold as a gourmet food.
Lt. Col. Epimaco Macalisang, former commander of the Army’s 49th Infantry Battalion, was designated to a staff position at the Army’s 903rd Brigade, pending a military inquiry into the April 29 debacle.


Imelda Romanillos, Labor provincial officer, said state policy prohibited child labor.
Macalisang’s new position is executive officer of the 903rd Brigade based in Castilla town in Sorsogon, according to Lt. Col. Angelo Guzman, spokesman of the 9th Infantry Division.


“No person below 15 of age is allowed to work,” she told Manila Standard. “If these minors collect crablets in the seaside only, there is no serious problem. The possible negative effect on children is loss of interest to go to school because they are earning.”
The inquiry into the debacle is being undertaken by the 902nd Brigade which has the operational control over the 49th IB.


In case the children failed to attend their classes, will the parents face criminal charges?
Macalisang, who assumed command of the 49th IB in May last year, was ordered relieved by 9th ID chief Maj. Gen. Josue Gaverza for supposed lapses.


“We will go to the place, not to reprimand, but assess the situation to base the safety nets on and offer help,” Romanilos said.
Soldiers from the 49th IB were conducting house-to-house visits in Labo town Sunday last week when they were attacked by NPA rebels. The soldiers had to run to the nearby barangay hall to get their weapons when the NPA rebels started firing at them.


Chief Insp. Roque Merdegia, also a lawyer, agreed with the labor office.
An officer speaking on condition of anonymity said Macalisang’s designation might be a lateral movement. He noted that the former and current posts are for an officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel.


“There is no violation of the labor law except when parents use coercion and expose the lives of children to danger,” he said.
“They (posts) are almost the same in rank but it’s different if you have a battalion because you have an area where you can command troops. It might be lateral but if you are going to ask me, I would rather be a battalion commander than a brigade staff,” the source said.


Darzy Gacosta, a resident, commended the self-supporting kids doing a decent job.
The new commander of the 49th IB is Lt. Col. Michael Buhat, outgoing civil military operations officer of the 9th ID based in Pili, Camarines Sur.


“They would rather (work) than steal for food,” she said, noting that a crablet gatherer averaged about 30 pieces in summer and as many as a hundred during the cold months.
The turnover was held Saturday, presided over by Col. Richard Lagrana, 902nd Brigade commander.
 
Aldrin, 11, said the fruits of his labor went to good use.
 
“I can provide my own allowance in school and save part of my earnings for a new pair of pants and T-shirt,” he said. “We are able to help our parents serve enough rice on the table.”
 
Elementary schools Principal Liza Salonga said work could distort priorities for the young.
 
“It can cause dropping out because if they get used to earning money they will become lazy to attend classes,” she said, adding that a suitable arrangement is needed. “It’s good if they do it only during weekend because they can help their parents.”

Dietary supplement is a product that contains vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, enzymes, and/or other ingredients intended to supplement the diet. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has special labeling requirements for dietary supplements and treats them as foods, not drugs.

Manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are prohibited from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded. That means that these firms are responsible for evaluating the safety and labeling of their products before marketing to ensure that they meet all the requirements of DSHEA and FDA regulations.

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.

Natural Resources of Sorsogon, Philippines

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.

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.
