TODAY, I am taking over the reins of the City Planning and Development Office (CPDO) in Naga in an acting capacity. Architect Juan "Chito" O. Villegas, Jr. retired from the service yesterday after 26 years of committed and distinguished service as city planning and development coordinator.It is a journey that has come full circle. In 1991, I joined the Naga CPDO under Chito's leadership, where I had to opportunity of working closely with the late Elmer Gallardo, his deputy. I stayed on until 1996, during which time I met other alumni like Orlando Batifora, Elmer Albo, Rafaelito Zamora, Fernando [...]

MY MORNING last Saturday ended in a big letdown, and it made me reflect as to whether what has been happening is the rule rather than the exception. And it brought back to mind this controversial
article by James Fallows.We were awakened that morning by the usual dance music accompanying the Saturday Group aerobics session, but there was something else distinctive above the din: it was the loud voice of our newly elected homeowners association president hurling invectives against two individuals behind the weekly event. Later, I gathered he was drunk, which explains his aberrant behavior that morning; [...]

I love life...Yeah, I'm sad, but at the same time, I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like...It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness. (Trey Parker and Matt Stone, South Park, Raisins, 2003)This very moment I am comforting myself listening alone to my self-talk. Thanks to Parker and Stone, who tell me [...]

I AM taking a big risk with this post, as someone who is not officially connected with the Ateneo de Naga University. But I just can't contain my excitement over the latest developments in regard to the
Naga City Planning Studio course that will be held at the Ateneo this coming May, involving international students from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada.More or less 20 of them will be coming over, as two more Mexican ladies are on stand by should somebody in the original list decide to drop out, Prof. Leonora Angeles of the UBC [...]

FROM Ruben Canlas, Jr. by way of the
GMANews Bloggers Network:
Filipino programming students, take heed! Google is once again sponsoring students from all over the world to do some serious programming. The mission? To contribute code to an open source software (OSS) project.
Google calls this event “Summer of Code (SoC) 2007″ and is much-awaited in the global open source community. Some of the beneficiaries last year included open source projects like Apache (majority of the web servers on the internet are Apache servers), PHP (a popular web programming language), Moodle (online learning) and Drupal (content management).
Last year, more than [...]

EARLY this morning, I addressed the Sangguniang Panlungsod to explain the
2007 Budget of the Naga City School Board, which Councilor and Education Committee chair Mila Raquid-Arroyo asked to be included in the agenda for its weekly regular meeting.I have attended council meetings in the past, but this one was different: given the floor, I had to field questions coming from the councilors themselves. A question from Kgd. John Bongat created an opening for me to test the feasibility of applying
New Public Management (NPM) principles in education reform.Kagawad Bongat asked whether it is possible for the city [...]

I DID not realize the 1986 People Power uprising in EDSA turned 21 last week until I read Bill Shimizu's poignant post
here, which, quite expectedly, made it to Manolo's short
entry on the event. Bill's remembrance made me look back to those heady days when I was in college at the University of Nueva Caceres and then soon afterwards, when I still working at the provincial capitol.What stood out from that recollection was a passionate exchange with a lady from a ground floor office (it was either the Assessor or the Treasury) at the Capitol building in [...]

BICOL Mail editor Joe Perez said he was somehow
convinced why Joker Arroyo and Ralph Recto joined Team Unity under the present circumstances. When we were comparing notes before office closed the other day, he sounded impressed by Joker's "pag bad ka, lagot ka!" TV spot.I'm not, by that ad particularly. For those who are dismayed, aghast and angry about Joker's descent into Darth Vaderhood,
Arbet,
Dean and
Conrad have expressed themselves better than I ever can.Joker's TV spot struck me as a wicked attempt to visually sell the idea that he is still the same [...]

THE RECENT
State of the City Report featured, among others, a study I made on the progress of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Bicol region. To recapitulate,The MDGs is all about putting people first in development – by reducing extreme poverty by half in 2015, which is just eight years away. They were called as such because MDGs are time-bound and measurable goals and targets for combating the multiple dimensions of poverty and deprivation. They date back to September 2000, when 189 countries, including the Philippines adopted the UN Millennium Declaration and committed themselves to making the [...]

Habo kaini ni Adrian kan tulang ini. Panlibak niya sa sakuya. Sa rason na baka makanos man nanggad, pirit an imahe o baka gusto ko sanang magpakabanal kan sinurat ko ini. Baka. Baka.
AN MGA BAKA SA BULOD KAN PECUARIA
Pagpapuli ko minsan pa-Iriga
Ini an sarong ladawan nin kaontokan
Na nanumpungan ko sa dalan:
Mga bakang nagsabsab sa kabulodan
Kan Pecuaria.
Kan maghiling ako sa bintana
kan sakuyang linulunadan
Tinuruhukan ako kan mga baka
Garo nagpapaara sinda kan mga doot
Na saindang pigsasapa.
Garo pig-oorgolyo nindang marhay
An saindang mga pagsasadiri.
Linuluwas an dila na garo baga
Nagpapaara an mga baka.
Dangan nagbalik sinda sa pagsabsab
Winiwitik an ikog sa pagbugaw
Kan mga langaw.
Iniisip kong daing paghadit [...]
