ILIGAN CITY (MindaNews/18 August) — Members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) today occupied for close to eight hours the towns of Kauswagan and Kolambugan in Lanao del Norte, triggering a massive evacuation of civilians to Maigo and Linamon towns and Iligan City.

The rebels were accused of committing arson, looting and killing some civilians during the attack.

Reports said the MILF occupied barangays Libertad, Lapayan and Napo of Kauswagan.

SPO2 Romeo Villacencio of Kauswagan alleged that in Lapayan, the rebels fired at, looted and burned some houses, and killed nine persons.

A number of civilians escaped the attack by taking the sea route on board pumpboats (motorized bancas).

By 11 a.m., five bodies were transported from a funeral parlor in Kauswagan to Iligan city.

Five civilians injured in the attack were brought to the city hospital. Former Lanao del Norte provincial councilor Chick Rizalda said that in Kolambugan the office of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Sarimanok and the Holy Cross School in Kolambugan were burned.

The rebels also fired at two vehicles, looted stores, fired at motorcycle drivers, and occupied the elementary school and the port, Rizalda added.

Reports reaching radio station dxDB in Malaybalay city said Fr. Reggie Quijano, parish priest of Kolambugan, could not go out of his convent due to the presence of the MILF. However, it was not clear whether the rebels were holding him hostage. But as of 1:53 p.m., Iligan City Bishop Elenito Galido sent an SMS saying "the MILF starts to withdraw. Fr. Reggie is safe. Thanks to God."

Galido also denied reports that among the hostages or casualties were priests, nuns and other church workers. But he admitted they "hid for safety.”

Meanwhile, President Arroyo condemned the attack not only as a violation of the ceasefire agreement between the government and the MILF but also as a challenge to the aspirations for peace and progress in Mindanao.

"Because of this sneaky and treacherous attack, as your commander-in-chief, I have ordered the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to defend every inch of Philippine territory against MILF forces, and immediately restore peace in the affected areas in Lanao de Norte.

"We will not tolerate — I will crush any attempt to disturb peace and development in Mindanao," she declared.

The President also said she was convening an emergency meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) this afternoon "to assess the situation in Lanao del Norte and other areas in Mindanao, and come up with concrete, firm and decisive action to defend the peace-loving people of Mindanao."

The attack came a day after suspected MILF rebels ambushed a military convoy in Barangay Ilian, Molundo, Lanao del Sur killing seven soldiers and wounding eight others. In an article posted on its website www.luwaran.com, the MILF said the ambush was carried out by "still unidentified men."

Brigadier General Hilario Atendido, chief of Joint Task Force Tabak, said the rebels withdrew at about noon.

He said the military could not enter the areas occupied by the rebels, as the latter reportedly used civilians as hostages.

Rep. Vicente Belmonte of the 1st District of Lanao del Norte condemned the attack.

He said the attack and the bombings of two hotels here on Sunday could be related to the abortive signing of the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain between the government and the MILF.

The MOA would have been signed on August 5 in Putrajaya, Malaysia had the Supreme Court not issued a temporary restraining order the day before the scheduled signing.

Belmonte said he was planning to file a resolution seeking an amendment to the MOA but that he would now work for the scrapping of the proposed agreement.

Lanao del Norte Governor Khalid Dimaporo also spoke on radio station DXLS to condemn the attack.

A trip before the school year starts

>>>> if you go by public transportation, there’s a van terminal
beside the KCC mall of gensan with the earliest trip at 6:00 in the morning.
Travel time is around an hour and the fare is 60.00 and you get off at the last
stop, which is the terminal of poblacion glan, sarangani province.

>>>> a tricycle can take you to the beaches of gumasa, but you have
to be careful as motorcycle drivers will crowd on you right at the terminal and
convince you that a tricycle can’t make it there. Well, if it’s ok with you
to go with the habal-habal, then there’s no problem, but make sure you don’t
pay more than 100.00 for one trip. On the other hand, if you’re like us with
so much bags in tow, tricycle would be good. Look for meloy jugarap right at the
terminal, and he will take you to the gumasa beaches in his super-power
tricycle. He can take as much as six persons in one trip. Regular fare is 30.00
per person, but if there are only 2 or 3 of you, give him a hundred, and
you’re sure to make his day! You can also ask him to pick you up the next day
or whenever you’d wish to go back to the poblacion. Travel time by tricycle is
around 15 minutes from the poblacion to white haven resort. The road is already
concrete, with only a few hundred meters still on the rough but already ongoing
construction as of the last week of march 2008.

>>>> when you’re in gumasa, you can choose from the many white
sand beach resorts stretched just a little way down from the highway. We went to
white haven beach resort, where you can rent a tent for around 400.00 a night,
complete with beddings. Rate for open cottages are at 350.00; for close cottages
with electric fans or airconditioners, rates range from 950.00 to around
2,200.00. food would be no problem, the white haven beach resort can cater for
you at reasonable prices, just be sure to arrange in advance. Or, you can wake
up early, wait for the fishermen to make their daily rounds at the shores for
their fresh catch. You can then either let the resort kitchen cook it for you or
grill it yourselves at their public cooking area.

>>>> from white haven beach resort, you can take a stroll at the
long stretch of white sand shoreline with lots of white little crabs scampering
like in a game of patintero, a cave at the far end with freshwater dripping from
the insides, and enjoy the clear waters lapping at your feet. There are
starfishes too, an indication how clean and unabused the beach still is.

>>> not many people have discovered the white beaches of gumasa yet,
and I like it that way. It was quiet and clean and on some days, you can even
enjoy it all for yourself. On a clear day, the sunset is amazing, and you can
camp out close to the shore and sleep to the comforting lull of the waves
washing ashore.

>>> to say it was beautiful would be an understatement. Imagine
boracay and panglao island and pearl farm 20 years ago. it’s a replica of
those luxurious, lucrative beach resorts minus the noise, the trash, the crowd,
the buildings, and the cost. It’s nature at its best, with the symphony of the
simplicity and quietness of the town playing to its overall harmony.

Bye bye…[dad]

This is for my people’s who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high, we will never say bye

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my people’s who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky ‘cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn’t get it but you kept me alive
I didn’t know why you didn’t show up sometimes
It’s something more than saying, "I miss you"
But when we talked too

All them grown full things separation brings
You never let me know it, you never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
There’s so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
I wish I could talk to you for awhile
I wish I could find a way try not to cry
As time goes by

And soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the whole world to see your face
And I’m bragging next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I’ve done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong that you can make it through whatever
It’s so hard to accept the fact you’re gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
I wish I could talk to you for awhile
I wish I could find a way try not to cry
As time goes by

And soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
And I’m bragging next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

This is for my people’s who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high, we will never say bye

Lift your head to the sky ‘cause we will never say bye, bye

I never knew I could hurt like this

Gumasa trip

We’ve been to Glan Saranggani last June 2008.

Together with my friends we took a plunge before the heat of the summer end. Eventhough some problem occured and there’s a misunderstanding happened, still it’s a great experience to visit such place like Gumasa beach. It’s a very beautiful place. One of a kind. It has a white powdery sand and a crystal clear water. The beach is so astonishing at

sunset. You can witness the exquisiteness o

f the view with the sun rising and its rays reflects to the water and creates an amazing reflection. And everyone gets chilled in the morning because of the icy wind that blows around the shore.

Another unforgetable trip and I’ll remember that place for the rest of my life. I wish to be back their and have a perfect moment with my loved ones.

He’s gone forever

It’s been 45 days since my dad past away. It’s really hard to accept the fact that he’s gone forever. There’s so many things I want to tell him but I can’t say it to him anymore. Sometimes I feel so sad to the point that I don’t wanna go on, but everytime I see my mom and siblings, it strengthens me to move on with them. I love them so I must be strong.

"We love you dad. Your memories will remain. Thank you for all the hardships and the uncomparable love you have given to us. You have given us a life that is simple yet contented to the things we have. You have molded us as a God-fearing person and a family that is God-centered. Thank you for all the sweet laughters you brought to us, for the joy, and for all of those wondeful moments. Thank you Dad. We really miss so much."

My JourneyAugust 2, 2008 12:03 pm

Moving on..

Death forces you to look back, and acceptance involves slowly turning your body around to look forward. “If you begin a new chapter of life, you carry the person you lost along with you.”

After the most devastating loss, support groups can be a lifesaver for survivors struggling to rekindle their lives.

Tips for grievers(like me):

# Give yourself time to grieve.
# Take care of yourself physically: Rest, eat and exercise.
# Consider joining a support group or meeting with a counselor.
# Jot down thoughts and feelings in a journal.
# Remember that it’s OK to cry; tears can be healing.
# Seek comfort in your faith, if that feels right.
# Work through your “unfinished business” with the deceased person to express your love, gratitude, regrets, anger. You might try an armchair conversation with him or her.
# Develop comforting rituals that continue your bond with the person, like looking through photos, preparing familiar meals or marking anniversaries.
# It’s OK to cherish belongings of the person who has died, like jewelry, books or furniture.
# You may find satisfaction in carrying on your loved one’s work.
# Seek comfort in your lifelong sources of joy, such as nature or music.
# Pay attention to your kids; they are grieving, too.
# Know that pangs of sadness and longing are normal, even years after the death.

Tips for friends and supporters of the bereaved:

# Don’t be silent or afraid to talk about the deceased person.
# On the anniversary of his/her death, ask how the survivor is doing, or whether there’s anything you can do to help.
# Write a note remembering the person who died, for example to his/her children.
# Understand that the bereaved person’s life has changed. He or she may be a single parent, or struggling financially, and may not be able to resume activities of the past.

Babuyan Island

The Babuyan group of islands is composed of five islands north of Aparri. All of the islands have small Ilokano communities. Phone lines and mobile phones are unheard and only few settlers have electricity p

owered by gasoline-supplied generators. The province of Cagayan is bounded by the mountain ranges of Sierra Madre on the east extending up to the beaches of the coastal towns, on the south is Isabela province, on the west is the Cordillera Mountain and on the north by the Balintang, Babuyan

es and the China Sea.

The Babuyan group of islands which include Calayan, Dalupiri, Fuga, Camiguin and Babuyan Claro is about fifty nautical miles north of Aparri. There are no luxury resorts in these islands and no regular ferries but the trip here with all its inconvenience is well worth the effort. Whether whale watching or discovering a great beach destination is your goal, Babuyan Group of Island offers a lot for the active traveler.

Babuyan Island adventure is all about dreaming a vacation after it was over. Its gives you a never-ending discovery, almost impossible to forget. The experience maybe unforgiving but truly it was a walk to remember.

Davao City

Davao City is one of the most alluring gateways to the Philippines. There are two reasons which make Davao unique: its people and its warm hospitality. Within bucolic highlands, migrants from all over the country live in harmony with indigenous tribal folk.
Close to Davao City is Mt. Apo, the country’s highest peak and home to the monkey-eating Philippine Eagle, an endagered species, and the waling-waling, a rare ochid of exceptional beauty.

Of late, Davao has become a booming tourist destination as evidenced by the rise of leisure establishments in the region.
Davao is also the biggest cutflower producer in the country and a major exporter of tropical fruits.
A tour of the city and its outskirts will bring the visitor to Dabaw Etnica, a tiny settlement of the Mandaya Tribe; Dabaw Museum whose diaplay includes tribal artifacts and costumes; and the Taoist and Lon Wa Buddhist Temples.
Davao is also known for its exquisite beaches, there is even an old Perl Farm that has been converted into a world-class resort. These beaches are all easily accessible by banca (out-rigger boat) or land travel.

Banaue Ifugao [Stairways to Heaven]

Stairways to Heaven

Photo Credits - Rhymer.net

This fascinating region in northern Luzon is known for being largely untouched by Western civilization and gives a glimpse of the true Philippines. In a string of villages around Banaue people live according to age-old tribal traditions. The main attraction in the area is the Banaue Rice terraces, dubbed the Eighth wonder of the world Constructed about 3,000 years ago the terraces start from the base of the Cordillera Mountains and extend upwards for thousands of feet, cleverly irrigated by channeled streams and springs. The terraces bear testimony to the ingenuity of the ancient Ifugao people. There are more terraces at Batad village, which also sports a waterfall and natural swimming pool, and at Sagada there are a series of ancient burial caves in the mountainside with the famous "hanging coffins" perched on limestone outcrops.

Nestled deep in the heartlands of the Cordilleras Mountains and rising to an altitude of 1525m (5000ft) are the Banaue Rice Terraces. The terraces were carved out of the mountain range over 3000 years ago by the Ifugaos, the oldest mountain tribe in the area, using only the most primitive tools. The irrigation system uses gravity to harness water from the forests 1800m (2185ft) above thus ensuring a continuous supply of crops. Measured from end to end, the terraces would stretch a total length of 22,400km (13,919 miles), enough to encircle half the globe. They are often dubbed the eighth wonder of the ancient world as their age and scale is comparable to that of the official seven wonders, of which only the Pyramids of Giza remain.

Baguio City [Philippines Summer Capital]

Baguio is located about 250 kilometers north of Manila in a region called the Northern Philippines or the Cordillera. It is no wonder about it being the highest city in the country since it is located right atop the Cordillera Mountains in the province of Benguet with an elevation of at least 1,500 meters above sea level! It is about 5 to 6-hour drive via the zigzag routes of Kennon Road, Marcos Highway or Naguilian Road, or a 45-minute flight from Manila to the City’s Loakan Airport.

Aurora Quezon [Sanctuary Of Nature’s Splendor]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Beyond the lush forest of the Sierra Madre mountains lies a splendid land so unbelievably rich and untouched - Aurora, otherwise known as the “Sanctuary of Nature’s Splendor.”

The Sierra Madre mountain range covers a large part of the province of Aurora. In fact, next to the Aurora coastline, it is the place where flora and

Casapsapan Beach

fauna are most concentrated. Waterfalls, rivers, crystal clear streams of varying sizes are located within, if not adjacent to, the area of the Sierra Madre mountain. Special interest trips such as mountain climbing, safari, bird watching, ecological studies, or even as simple as picnics could be rolled into one by taking the trails recommended by local nature trekkers in the area.

When the northeast monsoon winds blow and the usual tranquil white beaches are transformed into deathtraps by angry waves, it is time to come to Aurora to ride the waves on a surfboard.

What I have Learned?

I have learned that…

… the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

… when you’re in love, it shows.

… just one person saying to me, "You’ve made my day!" makes my day.

… having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.

… being kind is more important than being right.

… you should never say no to a gift from a child.

… I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the strength to help him in some other way.

… no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

… sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.

… simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.

… life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

… we should be glad God doesn’t give us everything we ask for.

… money doesn’t buy class.

… it’s those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

… under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

… the Lord didn’t do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?

… to ignore the facts does not change the facts.

… when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.

… love, not time, heals all wounds.

… the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.

… everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.

… there’s nothing sweeter than sleeping with your babies and feeling their breath on your cheeks.

… no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.

… life is tough, but I’m tougher.

… opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.

… when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

… I wish I could have told my Dad that I love him one more time before he passed away.

… one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.

… a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

… I can’t choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.

… when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you’re hooked for life.

… everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.

… it is best to give advice in only two circumstances; when it is requested and when it is a life threatening situation.

… the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

I believe —

………

We don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

It is taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

Regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

Money is a lousy way of keeping score.

Sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.

It isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

You shouldn’t be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

Your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don’t even know you.

Credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

You should tell people you love that you love them, as often as possible, because you never know when your last chance will be.

There is no better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don’t need money. Love like you’ve never been hurt, and, Dance like no one’s watching.

Don’t be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

Forever

"People asked me how i met you and i told them i met you in a world especially created for just the two of us. They asked me how and i told them that FATE brought me to you. The continued asking me how did we fall for each other. I told them that we fell in love because we have a story. A rare different story. A story about serendipity. They commented: everybody has story but i told there were beautiful love stories BUT for us, ours is great and we fell in love because we have a great love story long before it is told. And they asked me again how long shall we last and i asked them back: "Is there a word superlative than FOREVER?" They said none. And i finally told them… we will be together till time with out end. We’ll be together in a world called FOREVER. Because you are my FOREVER… "
It’s cliche to say but really its true, it’s been a long and winding journey but i’m we’re finally here in the world we created called LOVE. So today, i take another journey with you. A journey that leads to FOREVER. Every road i take, every endeavor i’ll pursue, every moment i shall encounter, every triumph i shall savor and even every defeat i shall battle, a part of it will always be you. Because i have journeyed so long to fianlly meet you.

I have past so do you but bear in mind that part of it had been made in order for me to be better before meeting you. I have outgrown from my childish desire and wishes. I have come out from my cocoon and become mature to finally face you. I have become better and strong so now that i have you, i would know how to make you mine forever.

I have travelled so much in finding you. I have battled so many pains. I wept a thousand times. I cried over my tormented heart. I lamented over my wasted time. I have asked myslef so many times when shall i see you, when shall i finally meet you and when shall i be in your arms. I got exhausted and tired of waiting. It even came to a point that I lost hope. But now, all hopes and dreams have come true.

Now I’m HOME. I’m home with you. You’re my home. My Love and My Soul.

I’LL TAKE CARE OF THIS LOVE. I’ll take care of you as you have taken care of me. I used not to believe in fate. BUT later it became my friend. As it brought me to you… It led me to my Destiny…

The Art of Letting go

now i’ve fin’lly realized that i should love myself even more this time. it’s good that we have to wallow in teaRS for all the hurts life brings but everything ends right on time…nothing is just coincidence. things are really meant to happen. a wake up call if i may say so that the next day we’d be better individuals.

it’s true that there are things in life just too hard to fathom…might be even beyond our logical ways of thinking. and we end up feeling sorry for ourselves.

sometimes it’s hard to imagine that in letting go…a part of us wants to hold on still. might just want to pick up the pride..yah!..our mind is set on the thought that there’s gonna be a lot of things to give importance to other than this feeling. but to make a reality check, there’s still this soft spot in our heart hoping for the impossible?

if it is baseless then it’s not meant to happen. i mean the hurt…but what if one couldn’t just find reason? ahh…there must be a reason…we just don’t wanna disclosed it on the other side.

sometimes we wish we know what the other person is thinking. yah, we really do wish we’ve got crystal ball. something magical so we can view the other side. maybe it’ll give justice to what we’re feeling. but why ca’nt we just accept the fact that it’s meant to happen. when we need not know why ‘coz it might hurt even more if we’d realize.

it’s not always logical when things happen. the world we live in is not perfect..what more are the inhabitants, right?
