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 San Carlos City, Negros Occidental, Philippines

Article from San Carlos LGU verbatim:

San Carlos City was formerly named Nabingkalan, in honor of a beautiful daughter of a chieftain Negrito settlement in the area. The settlement was later bought by Carlos Apurado from Badian, Cebu who, with the help of fellow pioneers, developed the settlement into a thriving Christian Village.

In 1856, Señor Don Emilio Saravia, the first political military governor of Negros Island during the Spanish era, renamed the place and established it as a “pueblo”.

San Carlos prospered through the years, however, the village lost its “pueblo” category, and in 1890, when Negros Island was divided into Occidental Negros and Oriental Negros, San Carlos was recorded as an “arrabal” or barrio of Calatrava (Hilub-an).

San Carlos acquired its status as a town in late 1898 when Gen Juan Araneta of the Revolutionary Philippine republic officially proclaimed it as a municipality. This was confirmed by the American Military Administration in 1901.

In May 1942, the Japanese army occupied the town and encountered a defiant Municipal Mayor, Eugenio Antonio Sr., who refused to surrender and collaborate with them. He railed the renegade soldiers along with loyal civilians and organized them as a guerilla unit. Thus, San Carlos became the hotbed of resistance activities against the Japanese imperial forces by the first Combat team, 7th MD (Negros) Guerilla forces, under Major Uldarico Baclagon.

San Carlos became a city on July 1, 1960 with the passage of Republic act No. 2643.

Another historical milestone in the file of the city is the cabinet meeting of Pres. Fidel V. Ramos in the last August 27,1996 making the San Carlos the first component city to be made the venue of a Presidential cabinet meeting.

Festivals, Fiestas and Traditions of San Carlos City, Negros Occidental, Philippines

Pintaflores Festival – 3 day of celebration of arts & culture festival added by competitions and exhibitions.

Held annually on Nov. 3-5 in time with the celebration of Negros Day and the feast of St. Charles Borromeo, patron saint of the city.

The Legend of Pintaflores
by: Joe Recalex C. Alingasa, Jr.

In the early times of the Pre-Hispanic Era there was once an astute and beautiful princess who fled together with her tribe to a lush and green coastal valley at the northeastern part of Buglas (Negros). As she reaches her new abode after a few months she was afflicted with a strange illness which is incurable during her time. So worried of the princess's predicament, the tribesmen seek the aid of a babaylan (native priestess) who reckoned that the absence of flowers makes Princess Nabingka deeply saddened and eventually got sick.

To appease the babaylan all men, women and children of the tribe planted flowers but these didn't grow due to the humid atmosphere and the scorching heat of the sun. Anxious of the health of the princess, as the ultimate recourse, the babaylan finally summoned all tribespeople to tattoo their bodies with flower or floral accents in lieu of the usual tribal patterns. Amazingly, before the naked eyes of the babaylan and tribespeople, Princess Nabingka recuperated and gained back her youthful prowess and glee. As a gesture of thanksgiving the entire tribe threw a feast while they dance in magnanimity and this time with their bodies tattooed with flower designs.

Upon the arrival of some Spanish conquestadores to the place they discovered this tribe with the unique ritual which they refer to as "Pintados de Flores" or people with flower tattoos. In the advent of early civilization the place became a thriving Christian village and was popularly called Nabingkalan in honor of Princess Nabingka while the dance drama was later on dubbed as Pintaflores.

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.
