By Jason B. Neola After setting up the swab cab that continue to serve Nagueños now numbering more than 1,000, the Naga City government and the Office of the Vice President (OVP) have partnered once again for the conduct of a mass vaccination activity dubbed NagaVax Express. The Naga City government and the OVP have identified five vaccination sites and more than a hundred volunteers for its NagaVax Express, which is going to be held on Friday and Saturday, July 23-24. Some

Francis T. Nacianceno Jr., 91, former editor-in-chief of Bicol Mail (circa 1950s) has finally joined his Creator. He passed away last Saturday, July 17, 2021. Because of the prevailing pandemic, his family was prompted to bury his body in Marikina City Memorial Park last Tuesday, July 20, with friends and relatives in attendance instead of bringing him back to Libmanan town where he was born and served as municipal secretary for a number of years. Regarded as pillar of the

By Connie Calipay The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is keeping an eye on the tugboat with crew members who have tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) to ensure compliance with quarantine protocols and prevent other vessels from getting near. This was after Dr. Ruben Fortuno, head of the Bureau of Quarantine (BoQ) in Albay, said on July 20 that the M/V Tug Clyde and Barge Claudia’s infected crew remain asymptomatic. Fortuno said they were coordinating and

By Ana-Liza Macatangay Thousands of residents from Camarines Sur and some parts of the Bicol region received free medical check-up from Senator Risa Hontiveros’ Mobile Health Clinic under the Healthy Pinas project, in partnership with Ako Bicol Partylist (AKB) and Bridges of Benevolent Initiatives Foundation, Inc. The free medical check up activities were also conducted in coordination with various local government units (LGUs) as recipients of the medical mission. The medica

By Francine Bustamante This was someone’s comment on Facebook in response to a post on President Duterte’s potential run for vice-president in 2022. It received a quick retort: ‘Just because you can do something doesn’t mean it’s right.’ Boom. The Constitution is the rule of law, but humanity does not live by a set of rules alone. It leads by example and a set of social, moral and ethical values. If we need to corral humanity to make us do the right thing, then we might as we

‘We call on all our alumni of Naga Parochial School and their families and friends to join us in the opening celebration of our 75th Foundation Anniversary,’ said Fr. Dario I. Echipare, the present school director of NPS. Fr. Echipare added, that despite the on-going health crises brought by the pandemic, the celebration would push through with strict implementation of health protocols given by health and public authorities. Come July 30, 2021 at 8 o’clock in the morning, th

Purely from the point of academic discussion there is yet no categorical Supreme Court ruling clarifying whether a Vice President (VP) is immune from suit. Any opinion therefore on the availability of vice presidential immunity is at this moment merely an opinion, in fact un-soliciting. And although it is yet too premature to discuss the fate of President Duterte’s plan slide down to the VP post, it is much wiser to delve about it now. Who knows, God forbid, Mr. Duterte might

“Look, Ma. Even if I wasn’t so good in my modules, I still got honors”. “Look, Ma. Even if we still moved around so much in the past weeks, MECQ was still lifted”. We are grateful that Naga is not anymore in MECQ, and now, we could finally… well, what’s the difference? We’ve been doing pretty much the same thing in whichever community quarantine classification. But seriously, we are grateful for the decrease in number of cases. Less number of cases of infections decrease

When generations recall the past, most of the time, one can imagine melody playing in the background, a sound accompanying an event that is being retold in our mind. For my generation and the periods before that, songs or tunes were ferried thru local singers who figured greatly in vocal concourses. Their winning and eventual popularity provided a source of pride, even a sense of identity. One became proud being a Bikolano because a singer who happened to be known personally

A barrage of disinformation – of the kind that only pernicious, insecure, and well-oiled politicians can do through their troll farms – is on the rise to tarnish the image of Vice President Leni Robredo amid speculation that she may run for president in 2022. The attack has reached a point where it has become hilarious as when Leni was accused of giving away “chicharon” (fried pork rinds) to typhoon victims. It seems that every time she does something good, she is attacked. I

Maski bako nang Bicol regional center kan gobyerno nasyonal ngonyan pero an Naga iyo man giraray an puso kan Kabikolan ta an kinamumugtakan kaini sa mapa kan rehiyon iyo an parteng daghan kan ronang Kabikolan.

Even as the presidential election in May 2022 is far- off yet recent political development seems to indicate that there would be a four-cornered fight this coming presidential race. Print and broadcast media reports have it that Senator Panfilo Lacson and Senator Vic Sotto have already agreed to run for president and vice-president. Very recently we have read media reports that Vice-President Leni Robredo has seriously considered running for the presidency although no announc
