Fire Hits QC Hall

(source: Inquirer.net)

An hour-long fire hit the annex building of the Quezon City Hall yesterday morning, destroying hundreds of government accounting records and forcing operations in all departments to grind to a halt.

Asked if he thought there was foul play in the incident, Belmonte said, “I don’t think so. It’s a good thing this happened in the morning when all people were awake, instead of at night.”

I suddenly remember noong nakausap ko yung isang tindero ng buko diyan sa may Arlegui sa Quiapo. Sabi niya habang tinitipak niya yung binibili kong buko,

"Yung isang hall diyan sa Palasyo? Ay! Madalas masunog iyon. Balita ko accounting department daw iyong nandoon. Basta! Kapag magpapalit na ng administrasyon, nasusunog yun! Ewan ko lang kung bakit."

Proud to be Filipino

Here's the Killer Punch:

Things like this make us proud to be Filipinos.

Pacquiao's TKO win over Hatton in Round 2 is indeed sensational. I'm sure a lot of articles will feature this match in various blogs, so I'm not making a similar story not add more.

I would just like to recommend this article from the Inquirer entitled: It's Great To Be A Filipino.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

Kaysarap maging Pilipino!

Ted Failon's Wife Shot

Whatever happened to Ted Failon?

Kahapon lang, sikat na sikat ang pangalan niya dahil balitang kasama siya sa list of 12 Senatoriables na binanggit ni Erap.

Just this afternoon, muling pumutok ang pangalan ni Ted Failon na dawit naman sa pagkabaril sa kanyang asawa sa kanilang bahay sa Tierra Pura Homes, QC.

Hmmm... let's wait for the final report findings later....

Bike Lane

Relative to my previous article in Inquirer about motorcycles, regulations and motorcycle accidents frequently happening in the busy streets of Metro Manila, I am very glad to know that the Quezon City council, thru the initiative of Councilor Bernadette Herrera-Dy, has urged the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to provide a bake lane along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City.

This initiative could help ensure the safety of our motorists.

Kudos to the QC Council and may the MMDA adhere to this very important matter.

Enjoy reading and gear up for the coming elections!


Reporter: Mayor, how do you answer the question raised by your constituents why you chose your son to be the head of the City Development Council?
(interpretation: Mayor, ano po ang masasabi ninyo sa tanong ng mga nasasakupan nyo kung bakit ang anak nyo na hindi naman government official ang pinili ninyong mamuno sa City Development Council?)

Mayor: You know, my son is very much capable to do the job. I believe in what he can do for the development of our beloved city.
(interpretation: Tinatanong pa ba yan? Last term ko na. Kailangan ngayon pa lang eh makilala na si Dyunyor at mabigyan nang mas maraming exposure. Tingin nyo ba aalis ako ng ganun-ganon na lang sa City Hall? Ano, bale?)
