BUREAU OF CUSTOM

BATA PA AKO, SIKAT NA SIKAT NA ANG BUREAU OF CUSTOM. IBA ANG DATING KAPAG IKAW AY NAGTRATRABAHO SA SANGAY NA ITO NG ATING PAMAHALAAN. MARAMI AKONG MGA KAKILALA, KAIBIGAN, KALARO, KAKLASE NA KUNG SAAN ANG KANILANG MGA MAGULANG AT KAPATID AY PAWANG NAGTRATRABAHO SA “BUREAU OF CUSTOM”, SILA YUNG MAYROONG MAGAGARA AT IMPORTED NA MGA LARUAN, MAY IBAT-IBANG PX GOODS, TULAD NG ALAK, BLUE SEALS NA SIGARILYO AT SAMUT-SARING MGA DELATA AT MGA TSOKOLATE. IBA RIN ANG MGA KASANGKAPAN AT KAGAMITAN NILA SA BAHAY. IMPORTED AND KANILANG MGA KASUOTAN TULAD NG DAMIT AT SAPATOS.

KAILAN MAN AY DI SUMAGI SA AKING ISIPAN NA ANG MGA KAGAMITANG ITO AY PUSLIT O PALUSOT. ANG BUONG AKALA KO NOON AY LUBHANG MALAKI ANG SWELDO NG MGA TAONG NAGTATRABAHO SA “BUREAU OF CUSTOM” DAHIL DITO, KAYA NILANG SUPORTAHAN ANG MALUHONG PAMUMUHAY. NANG AKO AY TUMUNTONG NG “HIGH SCHOOL” NAG IBA ANG AKING PANANAW SA MGA KAWANI NG KAGAWARAN NG ADWANA O BUREAU OF CUSTOM. DI KO NAMAN NILALAHAT SUBALIT KAPAG SINABING “TAGA CUSTOM YAN” KORAP O TIWALI ANG KATUMBAS NA KAHULUGAN NITO.

SA MANIWALA KAYO SA HINDI TALAMAK ANG LAGAYAN AT PALUSUTAN SA BUREAU OF CUSTOM. NAKABILI NA BA KAYO NG MURANG CELLPHONE, TELEVISION SET, IMPORTED DENIMS, AT IBA PANG MGA IMPORTED NA PRODUKTO? LAHAT NG MGA ITO AY MGA “HOT ITEMS O COMMODITIES.” MARAMI DING MGA “MAGICIAN” SA LOOB NG BUREAU OF CUSTOM, SA ISANG KISAP-MATA KAYA NITONG PAGLAHUIN ANG MGA MAMAHALIN AT IMPORTED NA SASAKYAN AT MALALAKING CONTAINER VANS NA NAGLALAMAN NG IBAT-IBANG KARGAMENTO. NAKAKALUNGKOT MANG ISIPIN NA PARANG WALA NANG LUNAS ANG KORAPSYON SA SANGAY NA ITO NG ATING PAMAHALAAN.

TILA MAYROONG SA DEMONYO ANG SANGAY NG KAGAWARAN NG ADWANA, KAHIT SINO MANG MATINONG TAO ANG ILAGAY MO DITO AY NAHAHAWA SA BULOK NA SISTEMA UMIIRAL DITO. ANG PINAKAHULING ANOMALYA KINASANGKUTAN NG BUREAU OF CUSTOM AY ANG NAKAPUSLIT NA 600 KILOGRAM NG SHABU NA NAGKAKAHALAGA NG P6.4 BILLON NA NASAMSAM NG NATIONAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION SA ISANG WAREHOUSE SA VALENZUELA CITY.
SA GALIT NG MARAMI, LALO NA NG MGA KAMAG-ANAK NG MGA NATOKHANG NG ATING MGA KAPULISAN DAHIL LAMANG SA NAHULIHAN SILA MALIIT NA SACHET NG SHABU AT ILAN DAANG PISO. NAIS NILANG MALIPOL LAHAT ANG MGA SANGKOT SA PAGPUPUSLIT NG KONTRABANDONG ITO. “CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG TO SUSPECT THAT THE BIGGEST DRUG SYNDICATE IS OPERATING IN THE BUREAU OF CUSTOM.”

ANG INOSENTENG BATA NA SI KIAN DELOS SANTOS (SA MATA NG BATAS) AY WALANG AWANG PINATAY NG MGA PULIS DAHIL SA BINTANG NA SIYA AY “STREET PUSHER.” KUNG MASIGASIG SA PAGBABAHAY BAHAY NG ANG ATING MGA KAPULISAN DAPAT LALO NILANG PAIGTINGIN ANG PANGANGALAP NG “INTELLIGENCE” AT MASUSING BANTAYAN ANG PAGPASOK NG MGA ILIGAL NA DROGA SA ATING BANSA.

DAPAT ISA ALANG-ALANG NG MGA TAGAPAGBANTAY NG ATING SEGURIDAD NA ANG MGA SANGKAP NG ILIGAL NA DROGA AY MULA SA IBANG MGA BANSA AT ITO AY IPINUPUSLIT PATUNGO SA ATING BANSA KAYA’T MARAPAT NILANG PAG TUUNAN NG PANSIN ANG ATING MGA BAYBAYING DAGAT AT MGA PALIPARAN. “KILL THE SOURCE OF ILLEGAL DRUGS” KUNG PEDE LANG SAMPOLAN NINYO ANG TAGA BUREAU OF CUSTOM.

STATUE OF DIVINE MERCY

THIS GIGANTIC STATUE OF THE DIVINE MERCY MEASURED 50 FEET HIGH PERHAPS THE MOST REMARKABLE MONUMENT IN MINDANAO. IT IS SITUATED IN EL SALVADOR CITY,  AND IT WAS NAMED AFTER THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, JESUS CHRIST. THE STAIRWAY IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT OF MRT. THOSE WHO HAVE HEALTH CONDITION ARE ADVISED TO STAY ON THE GROUND. TOURISTS AND OTHER VISITORS ARE ADVISED TO OBSERVED PROPER DECORUM SINCE THE ENTIRE PLACE IS SACRED. THOUGH I AM A REFORMED CATHOLIC, VISITING THE PLACE IS A RARE EXPERIENCE  AND I WAS AMAZED TO SEE HOW PEOPLE STRIVE TO CREATE ENORMOUS STATUE LIKE THIS. PILGRIMS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF ARCHIPELAGO FLOCKED TOGETHER TO SEE THIS WONDERFUL PLACE.  I AM A STRONG BELIEVER THAT PEOPLE'S FAITH CREATED THIS PLACE. THEIR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST WORKS WONDER FOR THEM RECEIVING POSITIVE ANSWERS TO WHAT THEY WISH FOR.

Urban Reforestation

FOR QUIET SOMETIME, THE WANDERING BLOGGER SEEMS INACTIVE IN WRITING FOR ONE REASON, NOT BECAUSE HE RUNS OUT OF IDEAS BUT MAINLY BECAUSE OF THIS STRANGE FEELING THAT I DO NOT WANT TO WRITE AT ALL.  I NEED TO MOTIVATE MYSELF TO FIGHT THIS STRANGE FEELING WITHIN ME AND CONVINCE MYSELF THAT I NEED TO WRITE AGAIN. I BELIEVE MY READERS ARE VERY EAGER ANTICIPATING MY NEXT ARTICLE.. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A BY-WORD NOW AND ECO-WARRIORS WAS BORN TO RESTORE THE FAST DETERIORATING PLANET EARTH. DURING MY CHILDHOOD, MY FATHER AND I AS WELL AS THE OTHER SIBLINGS ARE ARMED WITH BOLOS CUTTING SMALL TREES, CLEARING THE WEEDS AND LATER ON BURNED THE SITE IN PREPARATION FOR PLANTING SEASON WERE CROPS LIKE PALAY AND CORN WERE PLANTED. THIS SYSTEM IS CALLED THE "KAINGIN SYSTEM" AND WERE CALLED  THE "KAINGENEROS".  WE WERE NEVER INFORMED DURING THAT TIME THIS SYSTEM OR PRACTICE IS ILLEGAL AND HARMFUL TO ECOLOGICAL BALANCE. NOT ONLY DESTROYING THE NATURAL HABITAT OF SMALL AN...

The Blooded Shoes Cries Again (updated)

Last December 5, 2011, I wrote an article on Gensan Bombing that killed 14 innocent people and injuring around 64 people. The blooded shoes of the innocent victims cried for justice. Just recently, America mourns for the victims of Mass Shooting incident in Las Vegas that killed 58 people and injuring around 489 people. The incident is the deadliest mass shooting committed by an individual in the United States. According to the Section of Washington Post : The Math of Mass Shooting, the death toll change, the places change and the faces in the memorial photos change every time, but the weapons are the common denominator. Mass Killings in the United States are most often carried out with guns, usually handguns, and most of them obtained legally. Although the Mass Shooting in Las Vegas was perpetrated by one man for unknown reason and was not linked with terrorists, but still the blooded shoes escalated in the crime scene cried for justice. Weapons of mass destruction like high caliber...
