The Price People Pay
The incessant and unforgiving rain that lasted days has created havoc. Zambales gives us our doorway. Today, the province is again making news for all the wrong reasons. Torrential rain has swollen rivers, flooded communities and disrupted lives. But to understand what is happening now, we have to look backward. Because the province of Zambales has a long memory. In 1991, Mt. Pinatubo erupted with extraordinary force. Ash darkened the skies. Lahar poured down the mountainside

Istoria nin Duwang Amigo
Kan Martes kan nakaaging semana iyo si pagsungko ni Ina sa City Hall, ini sinelebrar sa paagi nin Santa Misa asin pamibi sa patrona kan Ka-Bicolan. Kinahaponan kadto, nakanuparan ko ang sarong katrabaho asin amigo na padagos. Tamang kumustahan asin orolay sa paabuton na fiesta sa Naga. Habang nag-oolay kami, may inistoria siya manungod sa panahon nin fiesta kan taon 1994, sa memoria niya high school pa sana siya kadto. Bihira ako makadangog kan mga arog kadtong istoria kaya n

After more than 160 years, what has changed?
Every September, with the month-long Fiesta, Naga changes. The streets become crowded. Familiar faces return. Vendors set up their stalls. Pilgrims arrive from different parts of Bicol and the country. The city prepares once again to welcome INA—Our Lady of Peñafrancia, the traditional Mother of the Catholic Church, deeply venerated by generations of Bicolanos since the Spanish colonial period. On September 11, thousands will once again join the Traslacion, accompanying INA f

Ni: Ryan Mostar Sarong teorya an nag-uugnay kan pangaran na “dengue” sa tataramon na Swahili na dinga o denga, na nangangahulugan nin helang na may kasabay na pamumulikat o pagtaragas kan lawas. Bago pa man nagin helang nin tawo an dengue, an mga ninuno kan virus pinaniniwalaan na nag-iikot sa mga unggoy asin mga lamok sa kagubatan. Sa paglipas kan panahon, nakalipat an virus sa tawo, asin an Aedes aegypti na lamok an nagin tagapagdara kaini dahil haranihon ini sa tawo asin n

Tigsik
Tigsik ko an mga deboto na sagkod ngunyan buta, Sa katotohanan dai pa giraray sinda napapagmata. Na an pag-aaleluya sa mga rebulto kasalan talaga, Kaya orog ikinaaanggot kan Diyos na Kaglalang ta. Tigsik ko man an mga tawo na an mga isip kipot, Orog kun pag-abot sa problema sa pagkamuot. Kun dai nakakayanan kan may maluluyang buot, Imbes magdulok sa Diyos, naiisipan manghugot. Tigsik ko, sarong opisyal nin gobyerno na maisog, Nin huli ta poderoso, paggibo nin sala dai natak

EDITORIAL: Hidden Danger
THE devastating debris flow along the Nepal-Tibet border should not be viewed by the Philippines merely as another tragic disaster happening in a distant country. It should be treated as a warning. A wall of mud, rocks, gravel and water can move with the force and consistency of wet concrete, sweeping away everything in its path. In Nepal, the disaster has already claimed hundreds of lives and left many more missing. But what should concern Filipinos most is the revelation th

End-of-Term Block
Hey, this fits just right. Do you have kids? Younger brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren still in school? This academic year, the DepEd implemented a major shift: a three-term calendar replacing the traditional four quarters. Integrated into this system are dedicated end-of-term blocks intended for student remediation, extracurricular activities, and rest. The first end-of-term block runs from September 1 to 18, meaning students have no regular classes during

Pano an Proseso kan E-Notarization?
An pag e-notarize kan dokumento dae nangangahulugan na mapirma ka sana nin PDF asin ipadara sa notary public sa Messenger o email. An e-notarization iyo an pagnotaryo nin electronic document gamit an sarong application o software na inaapod na Electronic Notarization Facility o ENF. An ENF dapat accredited kan Supreme Court bago ini puwedeng gamiton para sa e-notarization. Kun client ka, an mga involved sa dokumento—an mga principal asin witnesses, kun igwa—dapat maggibo nin

Are We On Our Own?
When the flood comes, prepare yourself. Keep an emergency kit. Know where to evacuate. Protect your children. Have a family plan. All sensible advice. But when a government official tells flood victims to build a second floor because the government cannot shoulder the cost, preparedness begins to sound like something else: “You are on your own.” That is the uncomfortable message behind some of the statements coming from flood-hit areas of Luzon. In Rodriguez, Rizal, Mayor Ron

Robin Padilla: Parang Estudyanteng Nag-enrol sa Advanced Algebra Class
Excited ako tuwing may tinatanong si Senador Robin Padilla sa impeachment hearing dahil hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin o itatanong niya. Kung minsan natutuwa ako sa mga tanong o sinasabi niya. Kung minsan naman ako ay napapaisip at namamangha kung paano siyang mag-isip. Sa totoo lang, na-mimiss ko siya pag-absent sa impeachment hearing dahil iba siyang mag-isip kung ihahambing sa ibang senador-judges. Isip talangka, sabi ng iba. Minsan tinawag niyang “one-sided” ang pro

“Objection your honor, your honors please”
How many times have we heard the words “Objection, Your Honor” in the past few weeks? So many times that they have almost become part of our everyday vocabulary. For once, our political language sounds almost civilized. After years when words like “tang ina” (damn you / a vulgar curse) and “patayin ta ka” (I’ll kill you) were thrown around so casually that even children could recognize them, the impeachment proceedings of Vice President Sara Duterte have introduced a differen

Ni: Ryan Mostar An imahen kan Divino Rostro, o Holy Face of Jesus, pinapahiling si Santa Veronica, na may kapot na puting belo na may nakatatak na mukha ni Hesus. Ini an belo na ginamit ni Veronica sa pagpahid sa mukha ni Hesus mantang paduman Siya sa Kalbaryo. Si Veronica iyo an babae na narahay an helang sa pagduta sa gilid kan gubing ni Hesus. Saro man siya sa mga kadaklan na nag-ako ki Hesus kan Domingo de Ramos. Nakakabit an imahen sa sarong silver frame, na an ibabaw ma
