"TAHANANG DE KARITON" - A HOUSE MADE OF IMPROVISED WAGON

I WAS DRAFTING AN ORDINANCE THAT WILL PENALIZE THE PARENTS OF CHILDREN FOR LEAVING THEM UNATTENDED INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN I PASS BY AND SAW A FATHER AND MOTHER WITH THEIR TWO (2) CHILDREN INSIDE AN IMPROVISED WAGON.PARKED AT THE BUSY STREET.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE IMPROVISED WAGON IS VERY SPECIAL TO THE FAMILY BECAUSE IT SERVES AS THEIR HOME ASIDE FROM USING IT AS CARRIAGE OF THEIR COMMODITIES; CARTOONS, EMPTY PLASTIC BOTTLES AND WHATEVER SCRAPS THEY CAN SELL TO THE JUNK SHOP.

I APPROACHED THEM AND ASKED THE MOTHER IF I CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF THEM. THE MOTHER WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING AND I WAS GIVEN PERMISSION TO TAKE PICTURES.

THE CHILDREN WERE BOTH SICK MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER (RAINY SEASON) OR BECAUSE OF THEIR LIVING CONDITION. THE BYSTANDERS PROMISED TO GIVE MEDICINES FOR HER CHILDREN.

I TOLD THE MOTHER THAT I WILL FEATURE THEM IN MY BLOG. WITHOUT PROMISING ANYTHING, I SAID, WHO KNOWS ONE DAY MY GENEROUS READERS WILL TRY TO HELP THEM.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING THEM, YOU CAN CONTACT ME OR EMAIL ME AT valsarte04@gmail.com.

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...
