Roads



Villa Aurora, December 8, 2005. A car being towed by a DPWH bulldozer across the river. The next day the river was ten times bigger.

The DPWH announced that the Baler-Bongabong road will be closed from December 15 to 22. Labi bridge will be repaired. So if you're planning to go home to Baler on those dates, the only option is the Canili-Pantabangan road.



The annual Provincial Athletic Meet (aka Division Meet) started yesterday here in Baler without the delegates from Casiguran, Dinalungan and Dilasag. They were stranded because the one week non-stop rains flooded most of the rivers in the Dicadi area and caused some landslides along the Baler-Casiguran road. The delegates arrived only yesterday afternoon.

This news is sad, and ironically...funny:


"For resident 68-year-old Norma Vilar, a pensioner for at least five years now, it has been a long wait for her pension fund to be released to her automated teller machine account. Last August, her pension money stopped. Upon verification at the regional branch here, she said she was told she has to file an affidavit or certification “that she is still alive."

Ay, sinabi mu pa! May ruun din aku na witness na ganyan sa isang bangko dito sa Maynila, uugud ugud na iyung matanda habang nag pa follow ng delayed niyang SSS Pension, tapos, ituturo la-ang ng empleyada yung matanda sa pamamag itan ng kamay kung saan pupunta. ay maano ngang mag prisinta siyang samahan yung matanda o kaya ay siya mismu ang magdala nun papel nung matanda sa nag aasikaso para de naman na mahirapan maglakad pa yung matanda. Nakakangggigil talaga, alam mu. Kung anong mga mentalidad mayruun ang mga damuho. Pagdating sa serbisyo publiko, talaga marami akung reklamu, sensya na po, at marami na akung nasabi, masyado ta po akung apektado, paano na pagtanda ku rin. kaya minsan, makatakot ng tumanda
