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.

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.

History of Labuan, Zamboanga City

Barangay Labuan is a coastal Barangay 36 kilometers west of the commercial center of Zamboanga City. The place was used to be occupied only by the Subanen tribe, the “lumad” in Western Mindanao. Labuan’s name was taken from the Subanen word which meant “you fall there”.

Aside from the Subanens, indigenous people like the Tausugs, Samals and Chavacano also settled in Labauan. Intermarriage among these indigenous people encouraged them to stay permanently in this Barangay.

The Legend of Labuan”:

Long before Labuan got its name, the place was occupied only by the natives who were from the Subanen tribe. This tribe was headed by Timuway- the chieftain of the Suibanens. This chief used to sell their agricultural products in Zamboanga City by means of a “balsa” or raft. The agricultural produce included gabi, calabasa and banana. As they kept their trading activities with the people in the city, they were asked where the vegetables/produce came from. The chieftain answered in his language “ditto sug Labu an in bato rampoon.”

Another legend says that during one of the trading as the Subanens were loading their produce in the raft; some people saw them on the shores and shouted “Labu-an-dyon”, which is Subanen mean “you will fall there”.

Labu means ‘let it fall’. From the on, the place where the produce came from became known to be “Labuan.”

After many years of trading, the Subanens developed friendship with the Chavacanos from the city. Many thins were sold to the Chavacanos by the Subanens by trading only. Until such time, one day, a prominent Chavacano family traded the place of Labuan with a ‘native corn mill made of stone’. The prominent Chavacano family transferred to Labuan. The Subanens moved to another place to settle down once again.

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.

Your Story about Labuan, Zamboanga City

Labuan is a place where i can spend a weekend break after after a tiresome days from work in the city. It's a place where i always feel at home even just to feel the cold winds and silence of the night while drinking a gallon of "Tuba",playing guitar, singing folks songs and castellano songs under the full moon light with my brother Tetay and our feeling young Roy and company. we used to sleep in our farm house which i personally built on top of the hills where we can view the country side and the islands spread along sulu sea. at night we can see the colorful lights of the more than 50 small boats fishing 'illegally' on our shores.sometimes passenger boats pass by and we can observe their speed when we gaze them from the top of that hill. Shooting stars also surprisingly appear in the mid air of summer nights sky.it's like viewing of a city from the top of the clouds. it's a place where we feel attached to the nature. A night in the forest where we can shout,sing aloud, dance and laugh at our jokes and nobody will get disturbed becoz we are far away from our neighbors and as if we are the only group of pipol who exists.it's a free world.

then early in the morning, we go to the shore to wait for those poor fishermen to dock and buy the fresh fishes they caught. there i can smell also the morning sea breeze. then take a bath for a 15 min while doing some exercises and body stretching.then go back to the farm house again and cook the fish that i bought for my breakfast and lunch.then work in the farm for an hour or two, plant some fruit trees and preserve those forest trees that have grown naturally. then in the afternoon, i rush my hour to go back to the city. when i started, my work on monday morning, i feel i am "full-charged for the whole two weeks".it's becoz i compensated myself with getting in touch with our mother nature.

it's a wholesome experience if we only know how to appreciate our attachement to our mother nature no matter what status we have in life. i have already invited some friends who grew up in the city. they had the same experience.

If you wish to visit our place, our family is very much welcome to serve you. just keep in touch. God Bless Zamboanga!

Watch for the grand opening " Arevalo's Farmhouse", it's an ideal place for a short weekend break away from the noise of the city.it's an orchard garden filled with forest trees and planted fruit trees of almost all kinds. it's a place where you can spend an overnight with your loveones, friends and relatives. it's a place i called home. A cottage is built on top of the hills where you can appreciate the overview of the country side and few islands spreading the Sulu sea.at night you can watch the lights of more than 50 fishing boats fishing illegally on our coastal waters.it's like watching a city or a view of a boulevard from the top of the mountain. it's the cold wind and the silence of the night that can renew your strength on the next morning. want to visit the place? e-mail me. ill be your host.
