“Lights On!” Says the Barangay Officials

After posting an article last week about the darkness in barangay Jalaud Norte, just yesterday lang guid kag natakod na ang mga kuryente para sa poste pasulod sa BLISS (the innermost sitio sng Jalaud Norte). Nahibaluan nga ang mga poste nadulaan sng wiring kon ngaa masobra man sa tatlo ka bulan nga madulom ang dalan pasulod didto. Let's thank the effort of our barangay council for making a solution out of the said problem. Kag siguro subong sini ang mga street lights nagasiga na sa kagab-ihon nga nangin maayo naman para sa mga communters, drivers etc...

Sang nagligad pa guid nga semana, nangin masanag man ang hiway sa Bga. Modesto bangud may mga bago kag nakayo na ang mga linya sng kuryente. 

It's nice to see nga masanag ang mga alagyan.This only shows that Bga. Bante is making steps towards progress and crime free community. Di bala nga mas masanag mas malayo sa peligro? Mas mangin mabungahon ang aton padulungan.

Pero subong ang pagpanghakat yara sa aton. Bilang mga residente sining barangay aton buligan ang tagsa tagsa, mangin vigilante sa pag-amlig sng mga propriedad sng barangay tungod aton ini tanan. Pareho lang sng mga poste sng kuryente kag mga wiring sini nga kon sa diin ginkawat sng mga tawo nga may malain sng tinutuyo. Let's face the fact that as individual we have our duty towards others and esp to our barangay.

Dengue FEVER 101

What you should know about dengue fever?

Dengue Fever is an acute infectious disease induced by the propagation of dengue viruses via mosquitoes ( Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus) and its primary symptoms are high fever, strange aches in the head, muscles, bones and joints, and the posterior orbital ache as well as eruption

In Jalaud Norte, we have several dengue cases this year.  Hopefully the number  will not increase. Parents should be aware of their children's condition even themselves too.  Ang lamok nga nagacause dengue wala na sng pili kung sio atakihon.  Pero most likely a child has less resistance that's why they easily caught with this type of fever.

Who’s to Blame? Street Lights were OFF

The street lights in our barangay Jalud Norte are off for almost several months.   Kon ngaa? There are some people nga ginapanguha ang wire sng street lights.  I remember one time while on my way going to BLISS last April 2010 the street lights were really bright.  Nga daw di ka guid makulbaan magkadto sa innermost sitio sng Jalaud Norte kay tama ka sanag.  But after then? Wala na all lights were off.  May gapangawat sng linya sng mga street lights.  This is the now main problem of our Barangay Officials.

If you look at the hi-way in Bga. Modesto medyo madulom man. Wala na gagana ang mga street lights nga gintinguhaan sng aton ledires maptindog agud mapasiga.  Even in the Bga. Bante proper there are areas nga may poste lang but wala sng bulb or florescent.  Take note we have a large population and crimes always happen at night especially sa mga madulom kag maligwin nga lugar.

We admire the CVO/tanods for their responsive duty every night.  This is the first step kag tani bilang mga residente sng lugar mangin vigilante kita sa aton palibot para matapna ang illegal nga buluhaton. We as a member of our community should participate and become active in bringing a peaceful community for our own development and safety.

I've also heard the news that their was a certain group of people nga ang ila modus operandi amo ang pagpangawat sng mga wires. C'mon... La na guid kawaton haw? Dakpan man japon kamo a... Tipok guid kamo kay KAP.

As of now (Aug 10, 2010 ) medyo ok na kag kasanag sng Hi-way sa Bga. Modesto... Thanks to our brgy. officials for addressing this problem.. Two thumps up!

Ave Maris Stella: Story of a Song

By Fr. Manuel Duetao

The sun had just gone down and the lengthening shadows were now turning into a black mantle of the coming night. The full moon was about to show its beautiful face from behind the mountain range. There was a light drizzle.

Gorio was prodding his horse homeward to what is now a first-class highway towards the north. His destination was what would one day be known popularly as Banga Bante or Jalaud Norte in the province of Iloilo, Philippines. His thoughts were already with his wife, Tina, and their three little children: Francisca, Canuto, and Taciana.

A plague had struck and had been raging for more than two weeks. A hundred or so had died – young and old, men and women, in two neighboring barangays along the Jalaud River. His own sitio would be the next as the plague was spreading upwards along the river bank on their side of Jalaud.

Jalaud Norte - Goes Global

Jalaud Norte aka Bga. Bante a progressive Barangay in Zarraga, Iloilo, Philippines will now capture the world! If you visit the barangay, hi-tech na ang aton makita. Kadamo na ng-open nga internet stations kag kadamo pa guid ang nagatuyo nga magpatindog sining klase sng negosyo. Ex. of internet station: Get-in. With the services that primary communication networks offer in the Philippines, we are fortunate nga taga-Bga. Bante nga may ara kita sng mga cell sites around the Brangay! (globe and smart towers are just sorround us).Internet ang pinakainfluencial medium now! That's why some houses in Jalaud Norte have it's own wireless connection towards it. This is a means of communication knowing nga damo nagaabroad nga halin diri sa aton barangay .. seamen, engineers, ofws.. etc... In terms of wired communication, telephones are just around, Globe Lines for example...

Hopefully tani maextend na asta saaton ang PLDT service nga subong ara palang sa Hacienda Fee. Cable services for television are also visible in some houses. Inyo makita ang nagakabit nga satellite disc sa mga balay nga nagkuha sng cable service.

Indeed we are towards global competitive! With the help of this site, I know that someday we will met again and by this electronic medium we will somehow share what we have and what we know. Mga kasimaryo let's all stand united and continue to grow as we want to reach fruit of our labor. Makisabay sa panahon and hambal gani ni P-noy "pwede ng mangarap!

Hopefully next time concrete na guid ang project.  Long term answer to the problem. :) As what our commnter said let's sacirifce kuno for a short span of time. Hopefully short lang. Tani di lang mag-ulan permi.. Sayluhon ta ang "climate"? Joke2...

This is really a timely project for those who instituted this one especially that October election is fast approaching... Is this timely for the a group of people with hidden interest but untimely for a large group of individuals?? God knows what they are doing. Calling DPWH what are you doing! Thanks for the untimely project you instituted. Be wise and be strategic in planning..
