Prioritize Progress, fighting China is Delusional and Madness – Pantaleon Alvarez

I’m now a big Fan of Davao Del Norte Congressman Pantaleon Alvarez after he after he CORRECTLY pointed out that the Bobong Bong Marcos (BBM) Administration should prioritize crucial Domestic Issues than quarreling with China over Territorial Disputes in the South China Sea (SCS). Here is the entirety of his Statements about that:

“While it is true that International Relations are undeniably important, our primary Duty lies in ensuring the prosperity and well-being of our People. Let us stop this madness and delusion that we fight China in an armed Conflict as part of the Frontline of U.S. Geopolitical Interests.

‘Wag natin kalimutan, iniwan din ng mga Amerikano ang Ukraine, Iraq, at Afghanistan’ (Let us not forget, the Americans also left Ukraine, Iraq and Afghanistan). I believe that by channeling our Efforts towards addressing Domestic Challenges such as Poverty Reduction, Food Security, Inflation, among others, we can build a more stable Foundation for our Nation’s future.

‘Lahat ng bagay, nasa tamang oras. Wag kalimutan’ (All Things have their proper time. Don’t forget), external power is an extension of domestic strength. So long as we are internally weak, let’s not get ahead ourselves and prod for Conflict the cost of which in lives of both Civilian and Military personnel, as well as National Treasure, we cannot yet afford.

I guess it is better to advocate for the independence of peaceful people of Mindanao and free the People of the South from a miserable devastation, as dictated by the North, so that we Mindanawons can be allowed to chart our own Destiny.

I suggest that they should think thoroughly their decisions. I am of the position that it is better for the Government to provide more Jobs, ensure Food Security, and ultimately, develop the Economy for the betterment of the Filipino People.

The Positioning of the present Administration unnecessarily places our Soldiers and Coast Guard in danger. We have to realize that if War erupts, what is the End Game Scenario? The American Century is ending, and the resurgence of China is clear. If we go for this, how many Widows, Widowers, and Orphans will be left?

‘Hindi nga kaya ng gobyerno bigyan sila ng sustento. Sabi pa nga hindi kaya bayaran yung Pension ng Military and Uniformed Personnel, tapos ngayon naman parang humihingi tayo ng susunod na Mamasapano’ (The Government can’t even pay for the Pension of the Military and Uniformed Personnel, and now it is as if we are asking for another “Mamasapano”). It’s misplaced madness. Let us seek Partnerships that unite instead of divide. Let us build, and not destroy.”

Tricycle Drivers and Security Guards engage in Public Wrestling Fight outside Gaisano Mall in Tagum City

TAGUM, DAVAO DEL NORTE -- A heated dispute between 2 tricycle drivers and a group of security guards turned into a wild public wrestling match outside Gaisano Mall in Brgy. Magugpo East on Thursday (August 24th, 2023 -- Tagum local time). The clash erupted due to impatience over commuting queues, and the escalating tensions led to a physical confrontation witnessed by numerous onlookers.

According to some witnesses individuals, the incident began when both tricycle drivers, who were waiting in a long queue for passengers near the mall's entrance, became increasingly frustrated with the slow-moving line. As tempers flared, the 2 drivers began exchanging heated words with each other and the security guards, who were responsible for managing the crowd.

(via ABS-CBN News / YT Video)

A video obtained from a concerned netizen on Facebook captured the moment the disagreement turned physical, with the tricycle drivers and security guards engaging in a chaotic wrestling match in full view of stunned bystanders. The altercation quickly escalated as punches were thrown and individuals forcefully grappled with each other, causing chaos and panic to grip the immediate area.

In an unexpected twist, some of those involved in the brawl used moves that were reminiscent of those seen in World Wrestling Entertainment. WWE, an American sports and entertainment company is known for staging wrestling matches featuring athletes with flamboyant personas on Raw and Smackdown, per the likes of John Felix Anthony Cena, Oscar Gutierrez Rubio (Rey Mysterio), Glenn Thomas Jacobs (Kane), etc. Experts suggest that the familiarity with WWE moves may have influenced the intensity and theatricality of the public wrestling fight in Tagum City.

Local authorities were immediately notified and promptly arrived at the scene to break up the brawl. They successfully managed to diffuse the situation and apprehended both tricycle drivers and several security guards involved in the physical altercation. Preliminary investigations suggest that the escalating impatience and long-standing tension between the tricycle drivers and security guards led to the brawl. Further legal action is expected as local authorities examine CCTV or Facebook footage and gather statements from witnesses.

Officials of Gaisano Mall in Tagum City expressed concerns over the incident and assured the public that stricter security measures would be implemented to prevent similar incidents. Management of the mall stressed their commitment to safety and well-being.

The local communities of Tagum remains vigilant while the investigation continues, and they hope that this incident serves as a reminder to practice patience and maintain a peaceful public space environment.

📣CROWDFUNDING FOR TWISTER​​ ‼ [CLOSED]

Twister is a domestic shorthair (puspin) residing in Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte. He has been in our care for five (5) years after picking him up from the streets and is our eldest male furbaby. He has been with us through many ups and downs and has witnessed our growth over the years. Ever since his first year with us, he has been riddled with all sorts of ailments, both minor and life-threatening ones. But we have managed to give him proper care through all of them. Now, we are faced with a new challenge and despite our best efforts, the time has come for us to recognize the limit of our financial capabilities. We fear that if we don’t seek out help from others, we might not be able to provide him the care he deserves this time.

So now we are raising funds for his dental extractions, CBC, and Bloodwork Chemistries. We appeal to your generosity for a donation to this cause.

We understand that we are facing hard times and that everyone has their own problems to face, thus, we welcome any amount or well-wishes you can share with us.

We have already chosen a reputable veterinary clinic in Davao City that offers these services with relatively affordable charges. We are hoping to bring him in for the procedure within the month or at the earliest time in February to prevent a greater danger to his health.

We are accepting donations via Gcash and bank transfer. The QR code for the former is provided below while the details for the latter will be provided via direct message as a measure of personal protection. Any donations and other transactions relevant to the cause will be recorded and shared to the public from time to time for transparency and as a way for us to share the generous souls that enabled Twister’s journey to recovery possible. We also welcome and encourage private messages for any questions, concerns, recommendations, and suggestions about this cause.

Thank you for taking the time to read and we apologize for the inconvenience. We wish everyone and their furbabies good health and a happy life.

Fearless Forecast Time

It’s pageant time again for my blog. The Miss Universe Philippines 2023 preliminaries just concluded today and I can now properly make a prediction on who I think deserves to win the coveted crown.

So... I'm just gonna make this real quick.

If I’m to place my bet on who would be the next Miss Universe Philippines, I’d place it on these five:

Cebu Province • Cavite • Bohol • Pampanga • Makati

However, anyone from this following group can sneak up there, depending on what happens on finals night:

Pasig • Baguio • Bulacan • Davao Oriental • Sorsogon

Also, I wouldn’t mind seeing in the finals the Taguig, Negros Oriental, Eastern Samar, Capiz, and Parañaque.

My last and ultimate wish is that—although I personally think they may have slimmer chances than anyone mentioned above—for Zambales, Agusan del Norte, and Benguet (especially BENGUET) to get a miracle and somehow make it through.

NEWS UPDATE

Jongsuk cut.

Including some parts of Lee Jong Suk and Seon In Guk's 2013 movie.

6 International Movies Set in the Philippines

Pinoys take international exposure very seriously. Remember when the Banaue Rice Terraces made headlines in 2018 for briefly appearing in Avengers: Infinity War? There’s nothing we love more than getting to raise our flags and proudly say, “That’s my country!” or some other similar variant. Luckily for us, the Philippines has served as the setting for several international movies over the years. That’s to say, there’s definitely plenty enough food for Filipino pride to go around, even if it's just for 15 minutes.

Find out more from our curated list below!

6. No Breathing

Lee Jong Suk and Seo In Guk starred in this coming-of-age sports drama that was partly shot in Davao. In Guk played Won-il, a once talented swimmer who quit the sport following the death of his parents. When the young man spirals into a life of delinquency, his late father’s longtime friend enrolls him into a physical education-focused school, where he meets his past rival Woo-sang, played by Jong Suk. A good 15 minutes of the film was shot in and around the Davao del Norte Sports Complex Aquatic Facility in Tagum City, where the characters went for their field training.

  “Dagmay

Community: Mandaya Origin: Eastern Mindanao

The Mandaya, which can be found in the provinces of Davao Oriental, Davao del Norte, Compostella Valley, Surigao del Sur, and Agusan del Sur, have a strong weaving tradition as seen in their coarsely textured dagmay, hand-woven using a special kind of back-strap loom, made from abaca fibres, and following intricate designs revolving around man and nature, especially the crocodile.

They use a mud dyeing technique. Used to obtain black, the technique is based on the reaction between the tannins applied to the yarn before treatment, and the iron found on the mud. The bark of the tree, which contains tannins, is pounded to a pulp and boiled together with the abaca yarn. The mud is then added to the mixture. The yarn is steeped for one to several hours for the best results.

Dagmay designs usually tell the story about the weaver and her community, as well as the spirits that live on Earth. The dagmay is usually used for women’s skirts, but it is also used as blankets or wraps for the dead.” ~Tatler Asia (https://www.tatlerasia.com/culture/arts/weaving-the-threads-of-filipino-heritage)

AS TOLD BY HER FOOTPRINT

On a cold night in a sparkly season, an autonomous girl was born named Kristelle Joyce P. Tambio also known as Elle. I was born on December 24, 2004 in Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte. My mother’s name is Mylene Tambio, she is from Caloocan City and my father’s name is Albert Tambio, he is from Davao Del Sur. I have 4 siblings and I am the youngest daughter. Hannah Louisse Victoria is the eldest sister, Dustyne Philip the eldest brother, Raine Jewelle is the middle child and Albert Leanard is my youngest brother. I do not remember much of my early childhood,but according to my mom and dad I was a mischievous and bubbly kid.  I would do anything just to get what I want, a spoiled but not a brat. I had a happy yet traumatic childhood.

 I started school when I was five years old. I took my elementary education at Cababaan Elementary School from grade 1 to 3. In 2014, I transferred to another school because my family decided to start a new life in the city. I continued studying in Camarin Elementary School and enjoyed my journey as a transferee student until I graduated. At the age of 14, I was passionate about dancing and writing. My grade 7 teacher helped me to enhance my skills and I also discovered that I am capable of being a leader in our class. But unfortunately, my enthusiasm was gone.

They said challenges and difficulties are a necessary part of our life. I’ve been through a lot. I got bullied for being the top 1 in our class, but at a very young age, I promised to myself to be fearless and resilient. That's why I overcame those struggles and life must go on. 

Years passed, I graduated from JHS and I had to face a new journey - life during and after the pandemic. I once was lost because of the things I never expected would happen to me one day and that is to experience depression. Melancholy, misery, hatred, regrets, nightmare and sorrow; the feelings that I don't want to feel again. After all the pain, suffering and heartbreak, I gave up. One event that influenced who I am today is, I gave up believing that my life is miserable. I take the plunge - best decision I have made. I encouraged myself to remember who I once was—a cheerful, soft-hearted person.I finally accepted myself. After all the hardships, it taught me to be independent. To be the best version of myself no matter what happens. To know what I am capable of. That you have to stand up because that’s how life is.  

After the pandemic, life had changed. It’s not easy to meet new people because of the life that I have experienced. Eventually, I found this circle that gave me comfort. A friendship that surely will last.  One of the most memorable days of my life was when I unexpectedly met this fascinating man. He became my boyfriend. He's the reason why I am not afraid to love, explore and enjoy the things that the world can offer. Despite the struggles in life, I always choose to survive. 

One phrase that I’ll never forget is “Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game”. I firmly believe that being fearless will make you stronger. So, this is how my story ends. I've done well and bad; I've erred and been egotistical. I'm not the ideal woman that I set out to be. I might not ever be that person. In my own life, I'm fearless and that's how I've always been. That then sums up who I am.
