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 San Roque, Zamboanga City

In the early civilization of the Pre-Hispanic time, of Barrio San Roque was known as Barrio Tipong and the inhabitants were non-Christian. After the arrival of Spaniards in the Philippines in 1628, non-Christian inhabitants fought against the invading Spaniards. However, due to the modern military equipment at that of the Spanish soldiers, the local warriors were defeated.

At the height of local revolt against soldiers, epidemic disease called Tipus broke out. In the modern medical term the disease is called as Typhoid Fever. It wildly spread out and contaminated inhabitants both young and adult.

The sad and painful experienced of the epidemic disease, remained fresh in the minds and hearts of the inhabitants such as, the inhabitants named Barrio Tipus. But the sad and painful experience of the "typhoid fever" tipus made the inhabitants change their bario name from tipus to Barrio TIPONG.

During the american regime, when people of Tipong learned of the good news that Saint San Roque will be arriving on August 16, 1912. This joyful moment, the people of Tipong voluntarily assembled and proceeded to the Pier with band to welcome Patron San Roque.

Father Francis pleaded the local Tipong residents to offer prayers to San Roque, a saint San Roque, most of the local residents of Tipong converted their religion to Christianity and even changed the name Barrio Tipong to Barrio San Roque in response for thanks and honor to Saint San Roque and as well the date of Barrio fiesta on the 16th of August, the date when the Saint arrived in this barrio and never change.

Protect the environment

• Sewer Systems of the Philippines

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!

• Plant More Trees

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

• Save The Rivers in the Philippines. They are Dying.

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.
