#Barangay 27

[pannaginip]

Another fuel tanker, identified as the “MTKR Jason Bradley,” sank in shallow waters off Mariveles, Bataan, on Saturday afternoon as salvage operations on the sunken Terra Nova, which is still carrying its cargo of 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel, was postponed, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said on Sunday.

According to the PCG, Jason Bradley was reported to have no cargo on board, but PCG divers found fuel leaks on the vessel and an undetermined amount of diesel.

The oil tanker sank Saturday afternoon in waters nine meters deep off Barangay Cabcaben, just half a kilometer from the shore and just two days after the sinking of the Terranova on July 25.

As of July 27, the map indicates that the oil spill may cover an area of approximately 68.01 square kilometers, a significant increase from [Philippine Space Agency or] PhilSA’s July 26 estimate of 14.4 square kilometers.

“We haven’t fully recovered from the severe impact of Supertyphoon Carina and the current southwest monsoon,” said Richard Catenza, leader of a fishers group in Cavite.

“Fishing has been disrupted for over two months due to large waves and strong winds. We cannot endure another looming tragedy caused by this oil spill,” noting that the incident may also affect fish prices in the Manila Bay area.

Ronnel Arambulo, vice chairperson of the activist Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya), criticized the government for the pace of its actions in both the Princess Empress [in 2023] and Terranova oil spills.

The organization said it is monitoring several coastal towns in Cavite that could be affected, including Tanza and Rosario, where more than 10,000 fisherfolk may be impacted.

WELCOME TO PARACALE : A Golden Paradise of Camarines Norte

Tourist Destination Information

An island with a sea view that is well situated in the southern eastern region of Luzon, in the northeastern region of Camarines Norte. There is so much gold in Paracale that the town's name itself alludes to its mining past. "Canal Digger" is the meaning of Para Cale, from whence Paracale was formed.

A thriving fishing and small-scale mining community existed in Paracale before the Spanish colonial era. Because of its rich land and natural beauty, Paracale attracted Spanish colonists by the time Juan de Salcedo arrived, and in 1863 it was formally founded as a town.

It comprises 27 barangays with a total land area of 197.90 square kilometers. Agriculture and small-scale, frequently gold mining and ore processing are the main drivers of the economy. In addition to its reputation as a gold mining destination in Camarines Norte, Paracale is a proud Bicol paradise with stunning beaches and breathtaking natural landscape.

Traveler Tips

If you're thinking when is the best time to go to Paracale, I can suggest during the month of March to May. But if you don't have time between that month I can also suggest Mid June to Mid July.

If going to tourist attractions like, Pulang Daga Beach, Macolabo Island, Gumaus Beach I suggest to bring light and easy to wear clothes and don't forget to bring a sunscreen for the screen protection.

Paracale is minutes to hours away from the municipality of Daet, Labo and Panaganiban. I can suggest that you can also visit their tourist attractions if you ever want to visit as many places in Camarines Norte.

If you're on a commute, it's better to know where you really want to go, pay for the exact amount of transportation fees, and always ask for help if you feel like you are lost since terminals in different towns can be challenging to sight.

Five loaves of bread and two fish in today’s storm-swept landscape

During the pandemic and the rise of community pantries, the story of Jesus Christ multiplying five loaves of bread and two fish was often brought up, comparing how a few donations, taken together, could feed crowds of thousands.

In 2024, a youth group based in Lucena City, Quezon, Kaya Natin Youth Lucena (KNY Lucena), proved the story right once again as they raised over Php 278,530 in cash donations over the course of ten days, for Quezon citizens affected by Severe Tropical Storm (STS) Kristine (international name Trami).

They also gathered hundreds of food items, gallons of water, and hygiene items as in-kind donations.

Kristine made landfall in the country at 12:30am on October 24, 2024, causing severe flooding in nine towns in Quezon, as well as Lucena City.

By morning, KNY Lucena volunteers had mobilized to help families evacuate, as well as serve hot meals at the designated evacuation centers. They also publicized GCash, Paymaya and Landbank options to donate, under the donation drive #BangonQuezon.

The volunteers helped almost 500 people in three Lucena City barangays that first day alone. Joined by Quezon Province Vice Governor Anacleto “Third” Alcala, they served 200 people served in Brgy. Dalahican, 97 people in Brgy. Kanlurang Mayao, and 200 people in Brgy. Singko.  

In photo: A KNY Lucena volunteer serves lugaw to evacuees in Dalahican Elementary School. Photo from Kaya Natin Youth Lucena Facebook page.

Though KNY Lucena is primarily based in Quezon’s capital city, Lucena (per the group’s name), they also extended their help to the other townships in Quezon. By 6pm of October 25, KNY Lucena had received over Php99,228 in cash donations, to be donated to the severely flooded towns of Mulanay and Calauag.

The average age of a KNY Lucena volunteer is very early twenties, in their second or third year of college. Near the tail end of October, students are likely to be swamped with midterms and requirements. Yet the volunteers were spending the weekend before Undas in KNY Lucena chairperson Kim de Leon’s house, repacking donations.

Cellphones vibrate with the message in the KNY Lucena group chat; a weighing scale is needed in order to measure out the rice.

One of the org advisers (often teased as an org elder) replies, “Kahit hindi na timbangin [ang bigas]. Ang gawa namin nun ay bumili ng mumurahing tabo, at yun na lang pangtakal ng bigas,” with the air of one conveying hard-earned wisdom.

The air fills with oohs and aahs of understanding: a practical solution, one that was perhaps obvious but not one that the younger volunteers had thought of. They return to the task at hand: portioning out rice, counting cans of nonperishables, and periodically updating an electronic spreadsheet of in-kind donations.

That is the face of volunteering youth today: late teenagers and twenty-somethings, mobilized into participative democracy in 2022, utilizing their digital native understanding of technology and social media to campaign for more donations and to find transport to affected areas, while also getting down to the nitty-gritty physical work of repacking, hauling sacks, carrying gallons of water.

And, because youth will be youth and people will be people, they also spawn multiple in-jokes such as “hashtag Team Sinandomeng,” in reference to the rice they repacked.

By October 27, volunteers delivered 40 sacks of rice and 500 gallons of water to affected residents of Mulanay, Quezon. They also delivered 365 food packs, 250 gallons of water, boxes of canned goods and hygiene kits to Calauag, Quezon residents.

By the final update on the #BangonQuezon donation drive, per their Facebook page, KNY Lucena had raised over “Php 278,530.54 total cash donations and received 300 pcs of 5 gallons of water, 23 boxes of bottled water, 10 boxes of canned goods, 12 boxes of noodles, 4 boxes of cup noodles, 68 food packs, 6 boxes of juices, 5 sacks of 25kg rice, 12 sacks of 5kg rice, 1 box of coffee, 3 boxes of clothes, 251 pieces of soap and shampoo, 15 bars of soap, and 38 pieces of toothbrush and toothpaste of in-kind donations.”

Kaya Natin Youth is affiliated with the Kaya Natin! Movement for Good Governance and Ethical Leadership Inc., a non-government organization that was a staunch supporter of Leni Robredo during the 2022 elections. Many of the volunteers in KNY Lucena actually transitioned from being campaign volunteers and Kakampinks to volunteers for KNY.

The motto of Kaya Natin is “Basta’t sama-sama, kaya natin.” Not only was it well-proven by the generosity of the donors and the hard work of the volunteers during typhoon season, it also shows that the volunteerism sparked in 2022 is still ablaze in the youth, in the pag-asa ng bayan, today.#

I'm home!

Didn't really sleep well, but at least Bluza came out so that's great. I hurried to prepare in the morning, and turns out I ran out of tops again. Luckily I had a dress!

After class, I went back quickly to tidy my room before leaving. I tried to scrape off the ice in the freezer, so the little door would move freely.

Went to the bus station, except I accidentally got off the jeepney a bit before the station. So I walked there. And in the bus, I was finally able to fit my backpack in the overhead compartment.

Once we got home, dad and I went to this little eatery we used to frequent. The seller was surprised to find out I was now in college 😅

We then went to register for the elections next year but turns out we needed a barangay clearance. So we got that, and went home, since it was almost night.

After dinner, I spent most of my time drawing the Bluza OC art from earlier. It's only the second song-based art I've posted (I've done a Loppujen lopuks-inspired poster some time ago). Idk if people will like it.

Good night!

Gani Lawal, Baser Amer carry Meralco past Columbian

Meralco import Gani Lawal. PBA IMAGES MANILA, Philippines–Meralco scored in bunches early and used that cushion to hold off hard-fighting Columbian, 101-92, Friday night in the 2019 PBA Commissioner’s Cup at Smart Araneta Coliseum. The Bolts went for eight unanswered points to start the game and kept on building on that groove en route to tabbing their first win in the conference. “It’s always good to get that first win under your belt. We lost a really tough game last time out,” Meralco coach Norman Black said. “[Tonight] we did a lot better offensively and defensively.” Import Gani Lawal had 25 points and 27 rebounds—both team bests—to help Meralco recover from a conference-opening loss to a young Blackwater side last weekend. “I think our team worked on our offense. Everybody’s sharing the basketball and everybody’s being a part of the offense—that really helped us in this game. And that’s what we look to continue for our remaining games—which is to spread the wealth, so to say,” Black added. The rest of the Bolts’ starters tossed in 10 or more, with Baser Amer registering 21 to lead the locals. “My locals played very, very well today especially my guards. All three starting guards played well. Good team victory for us today. It’s something we could build on,” Black added. Columbian drew 26 points from import Kyle Barone and 22 from star rookie CJ Perez. Three more added in twin digits in a bid to pull the rug from under Meralco. But that attempt didn’t meet its fruition as Amer emptied eight of his total points in the final frame to help the Bolts move on. Meralco continued to miss newly-acquired Raymond Almazan, who is still recovering from a left ankle sprain. “Maybe another two games at least before he comes back,” Black said of his big man. Meralco moves on to face crowd-darling Barangay Ginebra this Sunday again at the Big Dome in a bid to get some streak going. “It’s going be interesting,” Black said when asked about Justin Brownlee, the Gin Kings’ returning import who denied them a chance at a title twice in the past. “It’s going to be a big test for us. We’ll try to prepare our best game plan and see what happens Sunday.” The scores: Meralco 101 – Lawal 25, Amer 21, Jackson 17, Newsome 12, Hodge 10, Hugnatan 5, Tolomia 4, Pinto 3, De Ocampo 2, Salva 2, Faundo 0, Caram 0, Jamito 0, Quinto 0. Columbian 92 – Barone 26, Perez 22, McCarthy 13, Cahilig 11, Corpuz 11, Khobuntin 3, Agovida 3, Reyes 2, Calvo 1, Faundo 0, Camson 0, Celda 0, Escoto 0, Tabi 0.

ABS-CBN: Labor group worries 'Bagong Pilipinas' rally linked to charter change

Partido Manggagawa acknowledged that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has the right to organize rallies but raised concerns that the event is linked to a People's Initiative signature campaign to revise the 1987 Constitution.

"The invitation, with its directive tone to barangay officials to attend the Luneta Rally on Sunday, to be graced by the President himself, cannot be dismissed as mere coincidence," PM chair Renato Magtubo said, referring to alleged circulars and memoranda directing local officials to attend the rally, which will be held at the Quirino Grandstand.

Bayan Muna party-list, in a separate statement, said it has monitored orders "issued by various officials of government agencies" directing their staff to attend the rally, with food and transportation to be shouldered by the government.

"These unconscionable and desperate measures are using millions of government funds for a program so similar to the despised 'Bagong Lipunan' of yore," former Bayan Muna Rep. Ferdinand Gaite said, in reference to pro-government rallies during the time of the President's father and namesake.
