"RESOURCEFULNESS"

IN MY FEW TRIPS TO QUEZON CITY PERSONNEL'S OFFICE, I ENCOUNTERED THIS VERY FAMILIAR YET VERY SIGNIFICANT WORD POSTED ON THE WALL NEAR THE DOOR WHERE PERSONNEL HEAD MS. MARLENE AGUILAR HOLD HER OFFICE.

I BELIEVE IT WAS HANGED THERE WITH A PURPOSE. THE WORD READS, "RESOURCEFULNESS." PRESUMING AND ASSUMING THAT ALL THE STAFF OF THAT DEPARTMENT READ IT AND APPLIED IT WHETHER INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY AS A COHESIVE UNIT ITS IMPACT WILL BE MAGNANIMOUS BOTH FOR INDIVIDUAL AND FOR THAT DEPARTMENT.

RESOURCEFULNESS IS FINDING PRACTICAL USES FOR THAT WHICH OTHERS WOULD OVERLOOK OR DISCARD. IF WE LOOK AROUND, WE WILL FIND A LOT OF THINGS THAT SEEMS TO CEASE ITS USEFULNESS NOT LOOKING FOR OTHER WAYS TO MAKE IT USEFUL WE THROW IT OR DISCARDED IT RIGHT AWAY.

BUT BEING A RESOURCEFUL PERSON TEACHES US TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO MAKE IT USEFUL AGAIN THEN IN RETURN IT SAVES MONEY THAT WE CAN USE FOR OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS WE NEED IN LIFE.

REWARDS OF RESOURCEFULNESS

CREATIVITY

REQUIRING ONESELF TO DESIGN NEW WAYS TO USE EXTRA FOOD, MONEY, POSSESSIONS OR TIME DEVELOP CREATIVITY.

RICH DIVIDENDS

MAKING USE OF EXTRA RESOURCES INCREASE THE VALUE OF THOSE RESOURCES. INVESTING SMALL SUM OF MONEY WILL MULTIPLIES INTO A LARGE SUM OVER TIME THE SAME RESULT IS TRUE OF ANY RESOURCES WISELY USED.

IF ONLY THE EXECUTIVE AND THE LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT OF QUEZON CITY ENTRUSTED BY THE PEOPLE WITH HUGE POWERS AND RESOURCES USED IT RESOURCEFULLY, THEN THE DREAMS AND VISIONS OF FORMER AND PRESENT OFFICIALS OF QUEZON CITY WILL FINALLY BE REALIZED.

THE SAME WILL BE TRUE IN THE NATIONAL LEVEL. THERE WILL BE NO MORE SCARCITY OF OUR RESOURCES INSTEAD OF BORROWING FROM OTHER PROGRESSIVE COUNTRIES OUR RESOURCES WILL BE DOUBLED, TRIPLED AND RAISED TO CERTAIN LEVEL THAT PHILIPPINES WILL BORROW NO MORE. LIKE ANY OTHER COUNTRIES, THE PHILIPPINES WILL BE A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.

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...
