Balahaw!

Is it just me or GMA's Joseph Morong sounded really disappointed when he reported that nothing much happened in Aurora during the last typhoon? He reported live last night somewhere in the Province and the worst he can tell was a bus stuck in a spillway in Ma. Aurora. Sorry bro, no flood today! Come back another day. It's so disappointing that the national media only come to Baler or Aurora when disaster occurs or when one is about to happen. You don't even need to invite them. Last Aurora Day, the event was covered by Channel 13 - the channel nobody watches.



It's the first time I heard the term NABALAHAW. I always thought that it's called NABALAHO. Or maybe because it happened in Ma. Aurora, an Ilocano country where "balaho" is pronounced as "balahaw". "Ney! Nabalahaw!" No offense meant to my Ilocano friends in Maria.



Mayor Ariel Bitong of Ma. Aurora. His wife in Canada- a Batangbaler regular visitor - will be happy to see this picture.



Mr. Dan Nieva, Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council Executive Director.



And finally, i can't wait to see the next batch of Startsruck survivors.

alam ku pag nabalahu ay may sira ang sasakyan. nabalahaw kapag external factors na ang may sala, tulad ng putik o baha.

"alam ku pag nabalahu ay may sira ang sasakyan. nabalahaw kapag external factors na ang may sala, tulad ng putik o baha."

A ganun ba? Pwede palang mabalahu ang sasakyan kahit sa patag na kalsada anu. Halimbawa nag-overheat at namatay ang makina, nabalahu din.

kinunsulta ku ang isang kaopisina kung taga-quezon (taga-lucena yata si joseph morong) tapus ikaniya, parehu laang daw ang nabalahu at nabalahaw. iba pang synonyms nitu ay nabalahura at nalubak.

basta pag may natawid na bayawak sa karsada ay magsopla at baka tayu ay mabalahaw.

Wag ka ng mag biyahe pag kasakay mu ay DE LEON ang apelidu at siguradu hanggang pitsu ng 4X4 mu sayad. Ha!ha!ha! Bayawak kamu ang senyales ng nababalahu ay.

Masama ding magdala ng langka sa byahe, masisiraan ang sasakyan. Ang panopla ay tutusukan ng kahuy yung langka bagu ibiyahe.
