Do you know what style you wanted for your last haircut - and for free? There
is a "Libre Tupi" project conducted every first and last Sunday of the
month in Poblacion III Barangay Hall grounds and is still ongoing. The project
which started in April is initiated by the Sangguniang Pambarangay of Poblacion
III officials headed by Punong Barangay Ody Chatto Glovasa.
My visit to the northern part of Bohol has this scoop! A youth leader who works
as a nurse was asked by leaders to run as mayor in the northern part of Bohol
after the incumbent mayor failed to get the support from his vice mayor and councilors
for the next year's elections. They urged this youth leader to run because they
believe that the youth leader is the only person who can crush down the mayor
who's getting richer, richer and fuller!
Young ones
and young once, the search for the Mr and Ms Teen Bohol is on May 28 at the Bohol
Cultural Center. Ticket is only P50 (available at the SK Office, 2nd floor of
the Capitol Building, Tagbilaran City). You can visit www.skbohol.com
or call 411-5914.
It's never
nice hearing that someone doesn't like you, and personally, it tears me up inside
when I'm told I am bad. However, it is so funny when a person claims that s/he
is the one in a blind item even if you're not! And it's so "degrading"
when you "hunt" and "threat" the writer for believing a friend's
lies. For Pete's sake, don't react when you are not the one involved and you're
not sure it's you…and if you're not a who's who.
Could it be
true that two good friends ("kasusyo" in business) are now parting ways
under unpleasant circumstances? According to a Very Reliable Source (VRS), everything
has been done to resolve the "issue" (where's the money?) but it seems
impossible to patch things up.
*** Our
paper, The Bohol Chronicle, turns 55 years old! The
Bohol Chronicle has been a witness in the unfolding of our province's history.
As a chronicler of events and purveyor of information The Bohol Chronicle remains
true to its mission of being a pillar of journalism for the benefit of the people. The
province takes pride in the distinction of The Bohol Chronicle as one of the respected
newspapers in the country. Monday
morning was a "dilemma" when I was in elementary. Our grade five teacher,
Mrs. Jesusa Servas, used The Bohol Chronicle in our class. In fact, we could not
get inside the class if we didn't have a news article copied from the newspaper.
There were many times when Mrs. Servas unexpectedly asked us to report the news
we'd copied. Our
school had not subscribed to The Bohol Chronicle though there were tons of tons
of books and other educational materials from the Books for the Barrios in the
USA because it is a Modern of Excellence School (MOE), however, we could not find
a copy of the paper. To pass, what we did was to borrow the paper from the late
Manny Oronan whose wife Mrs. Evelyn Oronan was a grade three teacher then. Little
did I know that our teacher used The Bohol Chronicle to instill lifelong love
of reading. Times
passed, I had press release and news articles were printed in The Bohol Chronicle
(I wish to compile them, if I have the luxury of time to dig the old archives,
you know, for posterity). I even had the chance to meet the Chronicle founder
the late lawyer Jun Dejaresco at his office. The
most unforgettable ( I hope you do remember!) article I'd contributed was the
final episodes of the Rosalinda telenovela on June 4, 2000. I didn't expect that
the article would create "chaos" when it became a hot item in the radio
gathering favorable and unfavorable comments from dyRD's Tagbilaran By Nite and
Inyong Alagad listeners the following day. Years
later… The
Bohol Chronicle welcomed Bared last year to balance our reader's daily dose of
news write-ups that are light, airy and bubbly. Happy
55 years…and still counting! ***

TBTKish
Gathering of our Paring Bol-anon, USA in NYC
There
is another web portal --- http://tigumbolanontibuokkalibutan.blogspot.com
---for the Tigum Bol-anon Sa Tibuok Kalibutan (TBTK) for update and for a
for the upcoming worldwide gathering of Boholanos in July. TBTK president Betty
Veloso-Garcia says.  | | "…Although
we have already an official site at TBTK.ORG,
it is our wish to explore some added venues to keep in touch with all the Boholanos
worldwide and to expand our exposure in the WWW as modern technology continues
to lend itself to an even more expansive means of communication with the availability
of all these options right in front of us: quite a few popular names favored by
many |
and
others preferred by particular networking groups: that we can't leave anything
anymore to luck, fate or chance of being found, read or googled... but to take
a more proactive role in being more visible to and reachable by all whom we wish
to have network with... and that is you, my dear friend, my dear Boholano and
all the significant people around you." It
is said that music is the food that feeds our soul. What a fitting delight to
know that
our TBTK Global Homecoming campaign promotion not just has its own
official Theme Song, but its composer is no less a Priest, gifted with such extra-ordinary
skill in music and among the Paring Bol-anon holding pastoral assignment abroad
who is right now connected to a Louisiana Parish in the United States, in the
person of Fr. Roel Lungay. Music was arranged and sang by Romy Ceniza Mascarinas,
another talent based in Tagbilaran City. Better
still, such TBTK Theme Song was first aired during Tagbilarans fiesta celebration
at Wyckoff, New Jersey where a big congregation of the Boholano community in the
East Coast were in attendance last May 9, a Saturday. To everybody's delight,
touching the heart, mind and soul of every Boholano hearing the melody and the
lyrics of the song that emits love of our home-province, our people and the invitation
to be home this July for the grand celebration.. Such
information is no less revealed by our TBTK Chairperson, Betty, who was invited
as the Inducting Officer of the Tagbilaranon's of Eastern USA headed by another
Paring Bol-anon, Fr. Fernando Po, as re-elected President.
