Gwapa syudad ta: pang World City Prize 2015 (Part I)

Mga hinigugma ko nga mga tumuluo kag utod kay Kristo, kita magkalipay kay nabanhaw dun si Lord kag nagkayab sa kalangitan kag naglingkod sa tuo kang anang amay. Sunod kaday-a, amo ang Pentecoste, an pagkunsad kang Espiritu Santo para maghatag kasanag sa panghuna-huna kang mga tumuluo. Aleluya, Praise the Lord!

Bugal ko nga ginatunda kaninyo nga ang pinalangga ta nga Syudad kang Yrong-Yrong ginhingadlan nga kandidata sa 2015 Search for the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize, isa ka paindis-indis sa medya sosyal nga gapakakita sg katakus, kadalig, kagwafa kag fagkayudifuga kang sangka syudad.

Aton ifavugal nga pwerte kanami ang Syudad Kang Yrong-Yrong. Isulat ang inyong testimonya sa kanamitorn kang syudad ta plus pictures kag ipadala sa website kang search committee.

Bangud sina, ining kubus ninyong alagad magahatag “tips” kun paano magpagwapa kang syudad pinaagi sa social media. Kag amo dya, ay:

Una, isulat lang ang the true, the good and the beautiful sa aton syudad.

Ikaduha, likawan ang mga negative. Halimbawa, indi pag-isugid o isulat nga ang atong solid waste disposal system sa Calajunan world champion sa korapsyon, kahigku, kagaruk, polusyon, etc. Sangka halimbawa, likawan man naton ang pagtsismis nga subong, pwerte kakulang tubig ta kag bisan ang MIWD indi man gani katuman kang skedyul sa pangrasyon.

Dugangan ko pa gid day-a sa sunod nga hugna.

Gani sa ngalan ni Kristo, upod sa mga santos sa kalangitan, sa pagbantay kang mga anghel, arkanghel, quirubines, kag ano pa dyan mga mga angheles, gina-ampo ko sa aton mahal nga makagagahum nga sakdagun kag itib-ong sa bilog nga kalibutan ang pinalangga ta nga Syudad kang Yrong-Yrong.



Aleluya kag kabay pa nga ang mga agi ipanglansang sa krus panahon sa pagkunsad kang Espiritu Santo! Amen. (to be continued)

Image
By Pet Melliza/The Beekeeper Iloilo Gov.  Arthur D. Defensor (center in light shirt) and Estancia Mayor Rene Cordero (beside the governor) unveil the monument of Scout Roy.  By now, he could have been 53 and, if he married at 20, he would have grandchildren. However, Roy B. Babas, gave up his life at a tender age because of a freak accident 41 years ago, January 24, 1971. He was 12 years old and a grade five pupil. Babas, orphaned of both parents and cared for by his paternal  lolo   eked out a living on weekends and holidays as cargador , carrying luggage of passengers of vessels docking on the wharf of Estancia, Iloilo. Bionat: When I broached the idea to the governor of erecting a monument in honor of Scout Roy, he nodded at once. Scout Roy was his buddy in the Boy Scout. He promised silently beside the latter's bier that he will work it out to have a monument built for him. Defensor: Bravery and helpfullness are among the virtue...

Kalampay getting scarce and costly

Image
Today a kilo of kalampay fetches P80 to P140, at par with other fishes. This freshwater crab was almost free before. Photo above shows a freshly broiled crab. Kalampay" for sale was almost unheard of 40 years ago. The freshwater crab teemed in Iloilo rivers and people caught it for free. Today, it fetches the minimum P80 per kilo. Surprisingly, Iloilo River, dubbed the country's biggest septic tank after Pasig River, is still home to crabs and shrimps that Ilonggos consume. Mention the word today to the young generation and they would stare at you bewildered. "Kalampay? Ano ra man? (Kalampay? What's that.)" They more they would stare at you blankly if you asked them what "katang" and "baringay" are. The usage of term is getting scarcer like the fate of kalampay. "Katang" is a juvenile kalampay, the size a half thumb while "baringay" are botton size ones that migrate inland from the sea where they are spawned. ...

Broad daylight robbery by Treñas and caboodle

    Mayor Jerry Treñas and his caboodle in the mass disinformation industry are yelping accolades and jumping in glee at nothing but how good, bright and promising the fates of the Iloilo Terminal Market and Iloilo Central Market would be under his watch. Better still, miswatch.      "Public-Private Partnership" kuno; "renovation" kuno, "progress" pa gid, lapdogs in the  mainstream mass disinformation industry oogle.      What they're deliberately hiding is the obvious, that the deal is nothing but a "lease contract", a heavily lopsided one, that hands over for a song two prime real estate properties of Iloilo City taxpayers to SM Holdings, owner of the most number and biggest of malls in the Philippines.      It's neither PPP nor renovation but a broad daylight robbery where Treñas surrenders to SM the ownership of the "Central" and "Super" to SM for 50 years, renewable thereafter at SM's caprice.      By merely...
