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 Sto. Niño, Zamboanga City

The history of Barangay Sto. Niño gained momentum way back in the 19th century when the barrio was occupied by only few residents. This growing commercial center of Zamboanga Poblacion was only a kilometer distance. The place was still an undeveloped residential area. Public utilities such as electricity and water were not yet available. That time the calesa was the common public vehicle running the San Jose main road. Eventually the barrio was developed with coconut and some bushes and herbs around.

A certain family by the name of Alejandro Asuncion was said to have possessed a black statue of Sto. Niño. This was placed by the image in Cebu City, which was given by Magellan as a gift to King Humabon's wife for her yearly devotion to this image with traditional novena and simple celebration.

In 1911, Don Alejandro wanted the statue to be repaired in Manila through his son Leocadio who was then a student in Manila. Don Alejandro instructed his son to bring the image to a well-known sculptor in Quiapo.

The son boarded M/S Brutus bound for Manila. He wrapped the statue among his clothes inside the wooden trunk. During the voyage, a sudden storm violently occurred, which sank the vessel many miles away from the island of Panay. Leocadio managed to survive for awhile with the trunk, which contained the image, which was placed in cabin. However, his recovery was impossible. Two weeks later, the said trunk was found floating near the seashore of the municipality of Antique and a native found the trunk and brought it on the seashore because of curiosity.

They opened it and found out it was the statue of Sto. Niño still intact with the clothes. Some prayers and cedula of Leocadio Asuncion were recovered containing his address. The trunk and the statue were safely returned to the owner in Zamboanga City. There was rejoicing among the residents.

In 1927, a certain Pedro Agta from Cebu brought an image of Sto. Niño to the barangay, which at that time was already being resided by some people. The place prior being named as Sto. Niño, was known as "Cuadra" where horses and calesas were found. Most of the residents in the area were Visayans, who are devoted to the image of Sto. Niño and traditionally, they conduct regular novena prayer. Eventually a celebration in honor of Sto. Niño was done yearly until such time the Barangay was named as Barrio Sto. Niño. Laws were amended and the place is now known as Barangay Sto. Niño.

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.
