BIG FIRE STARTED SMALL

IN THE PHILIPPINES, THE MONTH OF MARCH IS A FIRE PREVENTION MONTH. MOSTLY A GREAT NUMBER OF FIRE RELATED INCIDENTS HAPPENED DURING THIS MONTH ONWARD TO APRIL, MAY AND JUNE. THESE MONTHS ARE BETTER KNOWN AS SUMMER SEASON.

JUST OF YESTERDAY, A GREAT FIRE THAT RENDERED 900 FAMILIES HOMELESS OCCURRED IN BARANGAY CULIAT, QUEZON CITY. DESPITE OF CONSTANT REMINDERS FROM THE CITY GOVERNMENT AND THE MASSIVE INFORMATIONAL CAMPAIGN OF THE CITY, PEOPLE TEND TO BE CARELESS AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DO THE SIMPLE BASICS OF FIRE PREVENTION.

WE FILIPINOS HAVE A SAYING THAT GOES LIKE THIS, "IT IS BETTER TO BE ROBBED BY HOUSE ROBBERS THAN YOUR HOUSE BE CONSUMED BY FIRE.

ALL BIG FIRE STARTED SMALL AND THEREFORE PREVENTABLE . YOU CAN FIGHT FIRE DURING ITS EARLY STAGE. IF YOU DON'T PANIC AND IF YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.

IF YOUR ARE FRYING AND SUDDENLY FIRE FROM GAS RANGE JUMP OVER YOUR FAN AND CREATES FIRE THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS JUST COVER THE FAN WITH STEEL COVER. DO NOT POUR WATER ON IT BECAUSE THE FIRE WILL NOT QUENCH BUT BECOME BIGGER.

BEFORE I DON'T SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER. I TOLD MYSELF AND EVEN OTHER PEOPLE THAT IT IS A GOOD SIDELINE OF FIREMEN.

BUT LATER ON I SAW ITS IMPORTANCE. IT CAN PREVENT AND STOP THE SPREAD OF FIRE INSTANTLY. NOW I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU NEED AT LEAST ONE FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN YOUE HOUSE AS A FIRE PREVENTIVE MEASURE.

BELOW ARE SOME OF FIRE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES:

1.    ALWAYS CHECK THE HOSE OF YOUR LPG AND ALWAYS MONITOR IF THERE IS A LEAKAGE.

2.   MAKE SURE TO UNPLUG ALL YOUR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES BEFORE LEAVING.

3. FOR SMOKERS, DON'T THROW YOUR LIGHTED CIGARET BUTT ANYWHERE IRRESPONSIBLY.

4.   KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN REACH MATCHES, LIGHTERS AND OTHER FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.

5. BE CAREFUL WHEN USING CANDLES AND SEE TO IT THAT IT IS NOT PLACE NEAR CURTAINS AND THE LIKES.

THERE ARE LOT MORE AND I ASSUMED YOU KNOW IT ALREADY BUT SOMETIMES YOU TEND TO FORGET THAT IS WHY A REMINDERS IS A BETTER METHOD TO CURE OUR FORGETFULNESS.

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.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...

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...
