Ausflug nach Hagonoy, zwei Stunden nördlich von Manila, zur Fischfarm von Patrick und Masu. Wir haben 35 Tonnen Bangus Fisch in 8 Stunden gefangen und verkauft. Das sind ca. 50.000 Stück. Sehr beindruckend.

A fish and a hope

A ship can catch tons of fishes, but a fisherman can only bring home enough for his family. Enough to fill their empty stomach, but not enough for them to eat three times a day. That's the untold story of a fisherman, Carlos Crisostomo Bagtas, 44 years old. According to him, he started doing this job when he was 12 years old. At a very young age, Carlos has already memorised the waves of the sea and how he can support his family while fighting and surviving alone in his boat. 

According to mang Carlos, workers in factories are luckier than them. 

They have three major problems in Hagonoy, Bulacan as a fisherman. The typhoon, the big and new machinery, and the construction of Taliptip Airport. These problems make his life so hard that he needs to do a lot of side jobs just to bring money for his family. 

If you're a fisherman in Hagonoy, you are lucky if you get to eat three times a day. 

big ships catch a lot of fish even those that should not be caught yet, typhoons destroy their boats and cost them thousands to fix it, and they were forced to leave 200 meters near the construction of the airport that makes them question who really owns the sea.

Mang Carlos has two children, they both stopped studying to work and help their father. While their mother left them and has another family in the other country. For him, education is very important and is a big step to be successful in life and to get out from the poor life they have. Carlos' life is a gamble and he needs to survive every obstacle. 

With all these challenges in his life, Carlos still chooses to stay in Hagonoy because for him, everything is in here, the life they are used to, the job, and a lot cheaper when it comes to day-to-day living. 

Just like the other fishermen, Carlos called on the government to listen to them and to give them the proper rights because they are the real king and the keeper of the sea.

Ito ang unang undas na ikaw na ang tinutulusan ng kandila.

Dahil busy sa work ang mga magulang ko, isa ka sa mga nag alaga sa akin. Sayo ko natutunan na para mabilis lumamig ang kakaluto lang na noodles ay ipapatong sa palanggana na may tubig. Pati yung pancit canton na may konteng sabaw.

Pagsapit ng linggo, sinasamahan kita na kumuha ng sweldo. Derecho tayo sa bayan ng Hagonoy para kumain sa karinderya o kaya sa mcdo sa Malolos. 50 pesos lang happy meal kaya kung 4pcs lang isang set ay nakukumpleto ko agad maliban na lang dun sa snoopy na ibat ibang bansa at lalo na dun sa 101 dalmations. Binili mo rin ako nung bike nung grade 4 ako kaya nagsanay ako at natuto. Lagi mo rin akong binibili ng relo. Binili mo ko ng family computer, jersey, sapatos, casette tapes at madami pa.

May edad ka na rin nung nakapag asawa. Ang sabi mo ay inalagaan ka nun ni lolo Pedro na tumandang binata. Kinakabahan nga ako kasi baka sa akin mo naipasa yung pagtandang binata. Pero buti nagka asawa ka at nagkaroon ng dalawang anak. Mas malapit ka sa akin kesa sa tatay ko. Anak ang tawag at turing mo sa akin.

Nov. 30, 2021. Di ko malilimutan yun kasi sinabi na sinugod ko sa ospital. Buti holiday nun kaya nakapunta agad ako. Simula nun ay di na gumanda pakiramdam mo. Kung saan saang doktor ka dinala at ibat ibang test ang ginawa sayo pero walang eksaktong naibigay na sanhi ang sakit mo. Dinadalaw kita, kinakausap at pinapalakas ang loob. Pero lagi mong sinasabi sa akin noon na nahihirapan ka na.

Feb 2023 ng tuluyan ka ng namaalam. Ang mahirap lang sa akin ay napakatagal mong naghirap. Kaya kahit papano napalagay ako kasi alam ko na nasa mabuting lugar ka na, walang sakit at walang paghihirap. Nagtatampo nga lang ako sayo kasi dami mong bahay na napinturahan pero di mo man lang napintahan ang bahay ko. Pero wag kang pupunta dito kasi alam mong matatakutin ako.

Do, salamat sa lahat. Mahal kita at hanggang sa muli.

March 29, 2025

Today is Papa's 5th death anniversary.

I really thought I'd already stop crying if I think too hard about him. I was in the shower just an hour ago and I cried just thinking of him being here in this house during his last days.

I listened to his favorite songs–The Brothers Four's Seven Daffodils and Try to Remember, and Where Have All the Flowers Gone. He loved music and he was never shy sharing his favorite music with us even though we outright told him it was so old just like him. Now listening to his music brings me closer to him, in a good way.

I miss him. I always think how he would have enjoyed knowing he has five grandchildren now via me and Bea.

I dreamed of him the other night. It was in our old home in Bislig. Something about the rat, like there was a rat in the house. God if only I wrote that shit down the moment I woke up. He was very much alive in that dream. It's been awhile since I've dreamed of him so it was nice but also a bit creepy just because I'm a wuss. When he was alive I told him to haunt me, it's okay.

I asked my sisters just now to share a favorite memory of Papa. I know there are tons. Let me see, hmmm what do I remember off the top of my head?

It's hard to choose just one. We have spent a lot of one-on-one time together because I'm the only one left here in the Philippines since my siblings immigrated to the US in 2008.

I remember when he and Pam came to stay with me for Christmas in my teeny tiny apartment in Teachers Village. I wish I had a better place back then, but yeah. Papa loved to cook simple food that we grew up on in Bislig. We always grill some kind of seafood or make fish soup and gorge on durian. I don't really remember what we ate that time. I think he requested for us to make chicken macaroni salad. Later when Pam joined us for New Year's, I "toured" them around Manila, but it was mostly Pam eating her favorite Filipino food particularly halo-halo. We also watched a movie in IMAX that time I don't remember what it was.

The last time all four of us were together was in 2016 when Pam and Bea went home in the summer, I believe. Papa just didn't like traveling so he didn't want to come with us to Coron. We spent time with him in Bislig and he brought us to Hagonoy, our favorite childhood beach. We just joked around a lot with him and took lots of pictures. I remember we all broke down crying when we were about to leave because I reminded my sisters we can't be sure when we would last see him since he's old. Every visit with him was bittersweet because we all had to leave eventually. Papa never wanted to leave Bislig.

Today I always fantasize about him meeting my kids. It would have made him so happy to see my babies for sure. He wasn't particularly a child person but he liked a few, especially fat ones like our neighbor back in Tabon. I knew he'd love to meet Noa and Teo and LaiLai and Kayson and now Anaya. I would love to ask him how he was in early parenthood.

Oh now it occurred to me one of my favorite memory of him was fanning us to sleep when I was a child. He wasn't a fan of electric fan (no pun intended lol), always fear mongering that it can cause pneumonia. We only had one rickety electric fan growing up and over his dead body would he allow his children to have an electric fan directly facing us as we sleep. No sir. So what he did was use this little towel and fold it in such a way that it'd at least have some heft to it to produce wind, and slowly, in regular rhythmic fashion, fan us manually to sleep. I remember how much I loved the cool albeit minimal wind he produced as he did that. Somehow the inconsistent wind from that towel lulled me to sleep and it's forever embedded in my memory. He would do that until we fell asleep. For me that was love, the little things he did for us and many more growing up. He was always the good cop for better or worse, the one that we could somehow fool into bending our way (in Kamayo pa, "abay mo gayud ako ibulsa.

Missing you, Papa. Still wish you were here with us.

Farm-to-market-road kaagapay sa tagumpay ng magsasaka

SAN ILDEFONSO, BULACAN: Farm-to-market-road. Nang una kong marinig `yan, napaisip ako kung anong klaseng kalsada kaya ito e nariyan na ang mga barangay road papunta sa national highway saka sa town proper kung saan nandoon ang pamilihang bayan.

Way back one decade ago, ang mga pananim na gulay sa bukid ay halos lanta na kung mai-deliver sa public market sa tagal ng biyahe dahil lubak-lubak o sira ang ibang parte ng kalsadang dinadaanan.

Ngunit nitong mga nakalipas na taon lamang ay nagsimula nang gumanda ang ani at napabilis na ang pagbiyahe sa pamilihang bayan dahil sa mga diversion road project na naipagawa ng national government sa pangangasiwa ng local government.

“Hindi na mahihirapan ang ating mga kababayan na iahon mula sa gitnang bukid ang kanilang aning gulay upang ihatid sa pamilihang bayan dahil nariyan na ang mga farm-to-market-road na halos ating nailagay sa mga barangay na ang pangunahing kabuhayan ay pagtatanim ng gulay,” buong pagmamalaki na naikuwento iyan sa atin ni Mayor Gazo Galvez.

Sana ay mabigyan din ng solar-powered water pump project (katulad sa Brgy. Umpucan na nai-feature natin noong nakaraang column) ang iba pang barangay na pangunahing pagtatanim din ng gulay ang ikinabubuhay lalo na ang mga malalayo sa sapa o ilog ang lupain.

Congratulations sa 137 na mga alkalde matapos pumasa ang kanilang LGU sa 2023 Good Financial Housekeeping ng Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) dahil sa maayos, malinis, at responsableng pamamahala sa pondo ng taumbayan.

Real Estate Sector

Isang taon na ang nakalipas mula nang simulan ng Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) ang Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Program o 4PH ni Pangulong BBM.

Sa pamumuno ni Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar, ito ang proyekto na pinakamagandang naganap sa buhay ng mga tinatawag na informal settler families o iyong mga walang sariling bahay, mga nangungupahan lamang o nakikitira sa kamag-anak.

Ngayon ay marami nang informal settler families na may matatawag na sariling bahay sa tulong din ng Pag-IBIG Fund. Huhulugan lang nila ito buwan-buwan sa mababang halaga sa loob ng halos 24 taon.

Sa kasalukuyan, mayroon nang nasa 20 proyekto more or less ang nasa iba��t ibang stages ng development. Kamakailan nga ay nag-groundbreaking na rin sa San Rafael, Bulacan na dinaluhan mismo nina Pagulong BBM, Sec. Jose Acuzar, Gob. Daniel Fernando at ang host Mayor na si Honorable Cholo Violago.

Patuloy ang pagpupursige ng DHSUD kasama ang mga partner organization nito sa private at public sectors upang matupad ang layon ng 4PH.

MAGDAMAYAN TAYO! Kung may nais pong ibalita na makabuluhan at magbibigay inspirasyon sa ating mga kababayan, send lang po sa joeytaruc@gmail.com ang detalye at pag-usapan po natin.
