As of speaking err more of blogging, Davao City has kicked off to start the annual festival of all festival, Kadayawan sa Dabaw 2008. Last year i had the chance to experience Kadayawan sa Dabaw again after so many years. And my excitement was filled with the grandiose Flower Parade and of course the much awaited [...]

Curiously driving through the now congested old poblacion of a city that is bursting at the seams with people and structures, this wide-eyed visitor is gladdened to espy certain ancient residential structures that continue to clearly reveal the groaning city’s idyllic and left-behind past. Mostly erected of timber structures, of at least two storeys high under GI roofing, these once were prideful domiciles of old Cagayanons. Many of them have been grudgingly and consequently badly restyled to fit their current economic uses – from homey and quiet residences to a clutter mostly of commercial cubicles for small businesses in varying states of unintended ugliness.

Still, a good number of these remnants of a by-gone era continue to exhibit old quaint touches of their erstwhile uses in an almost rebellious bullheaded display of their once gloried past, against the patent monstrosities that the new owners have heaped upon them.

The ensuing picture gallery is a random sampling of some of these once proud structures that either refuse to go the way to oblivion, or because of lack of resources of the owners, unrepentantly continue on their inexorable path toward benign neglect and disrepair, uncared for and left mostly to the elements.
This first one sits at a busy corner a block away from the poblacion’s center of activity and attention, Divisoria Plaza, and looking like some brick house from some foreign temperate country. In actuality, its core structure was formed by coralline shipped from some place in mainland China and hauled and stowed inside the dank hulls of trading ships, to find use in these once remote islands. Built in 1882 by some enterprising Chinese trader who decided to settle in the islands.

Now, layers of mostly concrete topped by the faux brick look hide the old look. And what’s more the old structure was incorporated into a newer concrete building built around it in a very tight embrace making one unified structure.
Next comes this European looking structure (with a very unique roof structure) which during our youth served as the envied residence of the late Nemesito Chavez, father to one of our gang mates in HS. It sits at a corner of old Filipinas and Rizal Street, both streets now changed in name. Today while the exterior retains pretty much its old look, everything else has changed. A pawnshop occupies part of the ground floor, while an office takes the side fronting Rizal Street. And sadly the second floor which had the bedrooms then looks unoccupied. A short distance from it was another wooden structure owned by Mr. Chavez’s close relative. This once housed a respectable doctor’s office on the ground floor and rental residence above.
Along Victoria Street one lot away from its intersection with Del Mar Street is an old decrepit timber building built in the late 40’s and owned then by a close relative. Now it is occupied as boarding house upstairs and warehouse downstairs of the new owners who maintain a construction/hardware store along Divisoria, a block away.

And along Del Mar Street, again one lot away from its intersection with Victoria is another remnant of the early 50’s, built by an out-of-town aunt who used the place as a rental. It was bought by the same owners of the hardware store and now uses it as rented residence upstairs and warehouse on the ground floor.
Then along old Dolores Street which starts at the city’s main church, the San Agustin Cathedral and used to end less than a kilometer away to the city’s cemeteries. Running west to east, it has also been renamed and the cemeteries of old have all been relocated by the lot owner, the city government which wanted the space. But many of the old houses along this street are still standing today mute sentinels to the many church processions and funeral entourage emanating from the cathedral.
Lastly, this once was among the first commercial buildings fronting the venerable Ateneo, built of concrete and utilized by the owner as their residence above.

I was so happy upon reading last week that the much publicized NAIA3 finally opened. After so many years of being scrutinized and plagued with intrigues the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 opened its doors to local travelers and foreigners. But just after a few days the headaches begun. Almost 6 domestic Cebu Pacific flights [...]

While we were in Cebu for Sinulog 2008, we took a day tour to Bohol via Ocean Jet.

Another photo safari was set and held last Saturday. We went uuuuuuuuuup at the rooftop of LandCo Bldg. We placed our tripods and started to frame. It was supposed to be another sunset shoot, this time at the city, but Haring Sun didn't cooperate. So I opted to shoot streaks instead. Pano Style!

Warm City


I wish next time I can shoot again.. another short film or even a full length..

Carmen District in Cagayan de Oro is separated from the rest of the city by the Cagayan River, which natural boundary has made possible the division of the entire city into two districts. The original one invariably encompassing the old poblacion and all points due east, while Carmen District anchors the new and second district and all points due west.

And Carmen District is no more the sleepy, one-horse district it once was when we left the place. It is now hodge-podge and chaotic clusters of humanity and human habitation and a puzzling coterie of many small-time businesses ranging from junk dealers, to lumberyards, to art and sign shops, etc., overflowing and filling into sidewalks and even street lanes. It has now become an overly congested and unabated growth, unchecked and unplanned, and heavily impacting on the overall health of the entire city.

Available living and working spaces have been taxed way beyond anything resembling decent human habitation.

No wonder then that a small public concrete bridge designed to allow rain or flood waters to flow through a by-gone creek to empty into the river nearby has been re-designed by its uninvited inhabitants. Essentially as living and working quarters for a small community of residents doing business in bustling Carmen public market also located nearby.

For the many residents, this is where their mainly itinerant business endeavors see their starts or preparation. Many own carts, many built around bicycles, allowing them to have mobility in selling their wares, mostly foodstuff like the popularly convenient fishballs and what have you. These are then pedaled to the public market to be sold.

And for the rest of their families, this where they also raise their little children, or where they allow their energy-laden toddlers to frolic around. With the busy bridge above providing shelter from both sun and rain.

A couple of residents spoken to nonchalantly disclosed that the city has started initial moves to evict them to make way for another proposed bridge spanning the two districts. They said all of them have been “listed down” for their inevitable date with the city’s bulldozers.

This they revealed amidst the furor ushered in by blaring sirens coming from RTA vehicles rounding up for confiscation carts, store inventory, or whatever can be found occupying or littering pedestrian sidewalks/lanes and/or street lanes.

Another typical day here in Carmen, the residents mused.

Click. Fox News channel quickly materializes into view, with tele-genic hosts delivering in soft and modulated cadence. Up to the minute streaming news and human interest stories parade through one’s ken, presented in typically very soothing fashion allowing one the feeling to sit back comfortably, create a calming atmosphere around the electronic presence, and generally feel good about the world. (Okay, maybe not the last phrase.)

Another Click. And comes the screechy high-pitched voices of newscasters and program hosts, giving an almost caricatured and very loud rendition of news reporting or program hosting. Jolting one to sit nervously on edge, and maybe run reflexively for the remote to reduce volume.

A world of difference?

Wrenched from my adopted country of almost 30 years and living again in the old homeland for the last three months, I do need to be kept abreast of the news (and maybe, scandals) on both coasts, for very understandable personal reasons.

Cable TV affords one that convenience of surfing not only through local channels, but through many of the international channels as well. From CNN, to BBC, and to the local upstart, Fox News.

One cannot help but compare how news and messages are delivered from two sources separated by a wide ocean and thousands of miles apart. Differences abound not only in the language that they are delivered, but also in how news/messages are articulated over the air ostensibly for the listening delight of the listeners. Although, local news and programs are also done in English and at times in a combination of both, called locally under the euphemism of Taglish (Tagalog interspersed with English, or vice-versa).

Locally, to bring across passion, commitment, seriousness and deliberateness it almost seems like the “town crier” has to shout every word, with almost unnatural modulation, and definitely, loud voice. Live programs with audience participation are almost always a shrieking cacophony of shouting matches from hosts to audience, from light banter exchanges to ad-libbed live ads.

Why so loud with each talker holding on to the best sounding microphones very close to the mouth, one is left to ponder. And tossing one at sea in bewilderment.

Is it too much to expect from producers of shows or the hosts themselves to understand that delivery is very critical in bringing across from studio to listeners whatever messages they are trying to convey?

That shouting them, especially in unison and cadence with others only serves to audibly blur the messages, or worst muffle them badly as to be lost to or even misunderstood by the listeners?

Haven’t the ever vigilant and money-wise advertisers not wakened up to this, and politely requested for subtle changes in how their messages are articulated and delivered electronically?

But hey, maybe I am wrong. Very dead wrong. Maybe there is deliberate method to this seeming madness. Maybe surveys have determined this is the best way to deliver not only messages to the Filipino listener, but also to show commitment, passion, and deliberateness.

Whatever it is, please do not shout at me!

I am just wondering aloud.

I went to a friend/Film Director who was shooting his full length film here in Davao (he's also a Davaoeño by the way). I was told that they're quarters is at Felis Beach Resort and they'll just go around the nearby communities to look for a place fit for the scene he needs.

While waiting for the text reply to know where they are in the area, I strolled around Felis and I got these images.. care to comment?

I woke up 3am in the morning to prepare for our sunrise shoot in the Pawikan Sanctuary in Punta Dumalag. I miss called Cheng² to wake her up and also Adi who'll be giving us a ride to go there. I didn't even bother to eat because the call time was 4:30 in the morning, it's already 4:00 and I'm still fixing things up.

I fetched Cheng² first before going to the rendezvous at Ecoland. When we arrived,I saw Wacky, Epong, Chattee, Christian, Monique and her brother Mikee, Adi who's inside the mart waiting for his coffee, Lyan who's sitting at a corner and observing what's happening around him. Mark, Mommy Jojie and Doc Deb was discussing something while drinking coffee.

It was still dark when we arrived at the Pawikan Sanctuary. No one was there besides us and the insects behind the bushes. The sound of the calm waves greeted us.

We setup our gears and started clicking away.

Here's some of the pictures I took.

Anyway, later that day we watched Manny Pacuiao's battle against David Diaz of the US. Again, Manny defeated the American adopted Diaz through a 9th round KO. The first Asian to claim a 4 title belts in 4 different weight divisions! congrats Manny! It's ok that youre face will be beaten. You have insurance online anyway.

I was on my way to the office this morning when I saw the billboard of Manny's fight this coming sunday. This fight must be really a tough one! Who's your bet? Place your bets now sa comments! haha!



I expect Manny to give us a good fight as always.. San pwede maki-nood ng Pay Per View? hehe

The Four (4) wonders from the Philippines:

Chocolate Hills

The Chocolate Hills is an unusual geological formation in Bohol, Philippines. It is composed of around 1,268 perfectly cone-shaped hills, all about the same size, spread over an area of more than 50 sq km The hills are covered in green grass that turns brown during the dry season, giving them the name ''Chocolate Hills.''

Tubbataha Reef is an atoll coral reef in the Sulu Sea that belongs to the Philippines. It is a marine sanctuary protected as Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park. The reef is composed of two atolls, North and South Reefs. Each reef has a single small islet that protrudes from the water. The atolls are separated by a deep channel 8 kilometers wide. Over one thousand species, including many that are endangered, can be found at on the reef. These include manta rays, lionfish, tortoises, clownfish and sharks.

Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park

The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is located about 50 km north of the city of Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines. It features a limestone karst mountain landscape with an 8.2 km. navigable underground river. A distinguishing feature of the river is that it winds through a cave before flowing directly into the South China Sea. It includes major formations of stalactites and stalagmites, and several large chambers. The lower portion of the river is subject to tidal influences. The underground river is reputed to be the world's longest. At the mouth of the cave, a clear lagoon is framed by ancient trees growing right to the water's edge. Monkeys, large monitor lizards, and squirrels find their niche on the beach near the cave.

Mayon Volcano

Mayon Volcano is an active volcano on the Filipino island of Luzon, 15 km northwest of Legazpi City.It is classified by volcanologists as a stratovolcano (composite volcano). Its symmetric cone was formed through alternate pyroclastic and lava flows. Mayon is the most active volcano in the country, having erupted over 47 times in the past 400 years, and is a part of what is called the Pacific Ring of Fire.

So to all my Kababayans out there and for those people who believed that Philippines is one of Gods Nature's gift to humankind please support my homeland to its journey.

I've been eagerly awaiting the commercial launch of Japan's Kizuna satellite that will provide satellite internet for the Asia Pacific Region. At this time, DSL is the most popular internet connection we have in the Philippines. It's not perfect (a gross understatement) but it gets the job done. Although a lot of folks are already quite content with what's currently available. I do think that things can be a lot better. I've been to a few countries outside of the Philippines and some of these countries although smaller in size have internet connections that can only make me drool.

Some folks have been proclaiming the advent of fiber optics as the savior of the internet in these parts but I sincerely doubt that it would work in this country. Haven't we had enough of all those diggings and the overhanging wires that actually makes the Metro look like a wired jungle? I do think that the solution will come from heaven-- via satellite internet.

Advantages of Satellite Internet

Satellite internet does not require huge cabling or telephone connection to access the internet. The speed of the internet is also constant as satellite internet uses two way high speed internet.

Disadvantages of Satellite Internet

A lot of experts however shake their heads at this concept. There are three major reasons why these folks scoff at the idea. First is satellite internet’s performance during inclement weather. Whenever there’s heavy rains or winds, existing satellite internet services tend to be significantly affected. Then there’s latency or delay. And the nail that they believe will seal the satellite internet coffin is cost. Satellite internet is costly.

So far, the Kizuna Satellite has passed the first two objections. Those who proclaim that satellite internet will never be faster than DSL are now eating their words. The recent test showing upload/download speeds of 1.2Gbps is droolworthy. Latency was a non-issue.

The only thing that can keep the Kizuna at bay will be the cost of its service. That and the politics governing its domestic usage in Japan’s neighboring countries.

The Micronesian Chief Executives Summit is already discussing their participation in the Japan Kizuna or WINDS Satellite. The big question is, why is the Philippine government still mum about this? Are we gonna be playing catch-up again, or is there a bigger agenda involved?

Representatives from the Governments took advantage of the opportunity of
two meetings occurring at the same time in Palau during April 2008: the
Micronesian Chief Executives’ Summit (MCES) and the Pacific Islands
Telecommunications Association (PITA.)

It was recommended that the Chief Executives approve a new committee, called the Telecommunications Committee and the Chief Executives received the report and agreed.

The main purposes of the Telecommunications Committee will be to serve as a forum to (1) exchange information in the areas of telecommunications and ICT policy, planning, technology systems, and applications; (2) to identify and create opportunities for sharing e-government, e-learning, and e-health; and (3) to initiate joint projects such as roaming among the countries, share technical training in ICT
and telecommunications.

The Telecommunications Committee enjoyed a fruitful exchange and covered topics ranging from the (1) the cross-cutting importance telecommunications to all sectors, including economic development, e-government, e-learning and e-health; (2) issues of competition in telecommunication services; (3) submarine fiber optics cable projects; (4) the participation of Freely Associated States in the National Exchange Carriers Association; (5) selection of both Palau and FSM to participate in the Japan Kizuna or WINDS satellite; and (6) discussion regarding the quality, cost-effectiveness and accessibility of telecommunication services.
