CALICOAN Beach front For Sale !

To all of our kababayan, Samarinyo, especially those Guiuananon from abroad, I would like to share this mega financial opportunity from our own IROY NGA TUNA - CALICOAN SAMAR. On May 20th, 2005, Philippine President Arroyo visited Calicoan Island and during her 2005 Visayas Area Business conference speech proclaimed Calocoan Island as the country's surfing spot resort. Before the President's visit the going rate was Pph 1,000.00 per square meter (beach front) and went up to Pph 1,500.00 two weeks after her visit. This price is still peanut compare to the current going rate per sq mt. at the now famous tourist island of Boracay. Imagine where this price will be in five to ten years. Island like Calicoan (our own) do not get created overnight, matter of fact it took millions of years and there's only one of its kind and it is in our own IROY NGA TUNA. Since there were media coverage of the President's visit, there are probably hundred of investors planning to buy a piece of our IROY NGA TUNA.

So you ask me, are you selling your beach front property? and how much did you buy it for? my answer is No, and it was way back in 1990 which it cost my late mom Pph 1.00 per sqm. My plan is to develop a beach resort, with a vacation cottage, when the economic climate is right.  With this, I hope, I can create jobs for my poor fishermen relatives.

If you are planning to get a piece of our IROY NGA TUNA, before foreigner converge into this paradise island - now is the time. For those interested or have further questions please e-mail me.

To Mr. Ray Gaspay, my million thanks to you for allowing me in sharing this golden opportunity with our Kababayan abroad.

Dear Tomo, Ha Iyo Ngatanan:

Guti-ay gadla an guin padara dida, bale limos la.  Makalolooy man ini nga aton igkasi tawo dida ha Samar ngan Pilipinas.  Mayada pa tulo nga mabulig, seguro duha taga Samar. Usa ha Pilipinas, usa aadi ha America.

An usa, abogado, graduate ha UP College of Law, fraternity brother nira Sen. Angara, hi Sen Joke Arroyo, ambot kon hino pa, seguro an akon sangkay anay, hi Senate Secretary yana, OG Yabes.

We are hoping nga makabulig liwat kita han mga familya han mga sundalo nga namatay dida. Kay guin uuwat manla hira hiton ira mga heneral, sugad kan Carlos Garcia.

Iton kinahanglan Tomo, nga idayon ini nga ceasefire negotiation between the NDF and the Philipine Government. Masyado hin kamakabibido na hiton nahitatabo labi na ha Samar.  Diri na la lurong iton mga fuersado.  Baga ina-alpan na hin ka mga demonyo.  Mga torturers na.  Remember? Adton guin pugotan hin ulo nga guin labog ha Canticum, Calbiga, Samar?

Sanglit an imo pangamuyo han Makagarahom han Ngatanan, kinahalang gud. Kon mayada ito hiya mahihimo yana nga kinahanglan an iya grasya.  O bisan nala hi Bishop Palma o iton Santo Papa or iton CBCP ngan UCCP.

Ha San Andres, Villareal, Samar, may-ada brutality nga nahitabo. An usa nga taga San Andres, guin higtan kuno pareho hin baboy, guin pasgan hin mga armado nga guin higot hin kawayan o patong.

Pero mientras ilakat ha baryo, guin kastigo anay nga nakita an 7 nga mga anak nga bata pa, an asawa, an mga partidos, an bug-os nga barrio seguro ha San Andres. Ambot kon diin ito guin lubong, kon guin lubong man, o guin hapil an lawas. Waray na gud ini hira kalo-oy.  Diri na ini hira tawo.

Ini nga makabibido nga nahitabo ha Samar, naglilibot na an notisya ha Europe ngan kalibutan. Ngan maaram na an mga senadores ha Pilipinas ngan mga periodiko. Ambot kon mayada hira mahihimo.

Sigue pangamuyo Tomo hiton aton Diyos, kay waray na natambulig ha aton ha Pilipinas, labi na gud ha Samar.

Hain na iton nga mga lider lider ha Manila?  Hira Tito Varela ngan hi Mr. Claro Piczon? Kinahanglan iton ipakita an ira liderato. Bangin mga buwa-on la, para han ira hingyap ha politika ha Caloocan, ngan para magdaog ini hi Mr. Piczon bisan la ka Barangay Captain ha Catbalogan.

Bisan pa niyo ito pagtadtaron hi Gloria, kon iton nakapot hiton poder ngan armas ha Samar ngan Pilipinas mga anak ha gawas ni Satanas, mahinunugad la kita hiton Rwanda o han Indonesia in 1965 when Suharto and his minions killed 3 million Indonesians, labi na gud adton mga api kuno han PKI. Para hi Suharto mahilista nga No. 1 nga Kawatan ha Kalibutan!

Ambot ha iyo Tomo.  Sigue martsa kamo.  Martsa.  Guli-at kamo "Down with Gloria!" Waray na kataposan nga iyo martsa.  Tikang pa hadton paki-away ni Jose Maria Sison kanda Lava ngan former Dean of the UP College of Law and Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Merlin Magallona, ngan kan ex UP President Dr. Francisco Nemenzo, Jr.

In the meantime, asya ini iton nahitatabo ha Samar ngan Pilipinas.  Hi Gloria, waray na ito poder. Iton may poder ha Pilipinas iton militar.

Kita-a, may-ada ba nahihimo iton nga iyo mga nakapot han katungdunan dida ha Samar? Nagririco la ada iton hira.

Magkarit hin iba nga butang.  Guin gagago la iton mga taga Samar ngan mga Pilipino. Kay suportado man han mga nagpipinanguwat han mga kablas ha Samar ngan Pilipinas. Bisan adto hira ha Netherlands. Sigue iton sutsot:  "Pakig-away kamo para ha amon! Kay tama ini nga aton binubuhat! Bisan kamo pag-anitan o pugotan hin ulo!"  Nga deputa!!!

Padayon Tomo.  Pag-ikmat ngan ayaw pa-uwat.

Maupay ini nga sagdon ni Tomo, nga iton Samarnews mag-abri hin bank account kay basi mas masayon iton pagkarawat hin mga donacion para hiton "casualties of war" ha Samar, ma sundalo ba o iba pa.  Kundi labaw ha ngatanan, hi kita ngatanan nga mga Samareno, kinahanglan naton ipadayon an aton mga panalinguha nga magka-may-ada kamingaw ngan kamurayaw ha Samar, kay pastilan - ura-ura naman ini nga samok.  Husto na gad intawon ini nga paraptayay, kay hi kita manla gihapon iton mag-aantos.  Daan pobre na ngan makalolooy it aton minayuyo nga isla han Samar, dudugangan pa hin guerra, ano pa man iton mahibibilin hini.

Hinaut pa unta nga dumako ini nga fondo kay basi mas daro-damo an magpulos. Kundi, dumdumon liwat naton - nga kinahanglan ipasamwak nga an Samar nagkikinahanglan hin kamurayaw kay basi man an lomolopyo makagpadayon han ira panmiling hin katigayunan, kay kairo intawon nira – hira ngahaw, it ira mga pamilya.  Di la haromamay ka maharang hit kakablasan, kundi mas labaw pa ka maharang hit kakablasan kon pinapadisan hin guerra.  Ayaw na gad kita hini nga samok, pastilan.  Huna hunaon nala naton nga aton la ngahaw igkasi Filipino it waray katapusan hin lambigit. Husto na.

I am planning to visit Dolores Eastern Samar in November. What is the best way to get there from Manila? The 3 possibilities are flying to Tacloban, Calbayog or Catarman. I am looking for recommendations. How is the ground transportation (bus, jeepney) availability? How are the roads? Thank you.

I'm so happy that we have this kababayans who care and in a big way make a difference in the lives of our brothers in Samar. Ray why don't you post an account no. wherein people could send financial help to our brother in Samar.

Mabuhay kayo mano Cesar, Ray and all the brave Pilipino who stand for what is morally right. I also would like to appeal to all Pilipino here in Manila to join us in the struggle to right what is morally wrong, join us in asking PGMA to resign so that our country could have a fresh start. July 25 the state of the nation address ni PGMA let us tell her how wrong she was when she thought she could fool us all the time.

In behalf of the people who will receive this help, I thank you and may GOD Bless you.

I am reiterating my appeal for our people in Samar, especially for the victims of the ongoing fighting between the soldiers of the Philippine Government and the New Peoples Army.

Hopefully this week, when I get the tabang of Rose Escanan and Addi Batica and their group for the Family Planning Organization of the Philippines (FPOP) Chapter in Samar, which is based in Catbalogan I think, and the additional tabang for the victims of the fighting in Samar, I will be sending the funds to Christine Casurao, Helen Hernandez, and Ray Gaspay.

Ray, you know what to do.  Please reassure your friends, some of them might be psychopaths who behead Samarnons who do not agree with them that we are just favoring the poor and the oppressed in Samar and Pilipinas. They need our help, like the aged in Catbalogan, the homeless children, etc.

I am not really surprised about the lack of response to our appeal. It makes me sad. To have my belief validated that we Samarnons and Filipinos kadam-an we are generally uncaring for the less fortunate in our society.

Not a single Samarnon cyberspace emailer said anything about our appeal to help our people in Samar. Pero kon fiesta ito, party, or irignom ngan kaon kay mga gutom kita, bisan ira mga credit cards gagamiton. I have experienced that here in America among the Samarnons and the Filipinos.

Padayon guihapon hangtud ha lubnganan!

Frente Amplio, a Broad United Front, a Frente Amplio Filipino, a Bagong Katipunan!

Kumusta ulit sa mga taga Catbalogan. Guess what? I've started connecting with old friends and classmates. Wonderful? Ako si Rufino Saba yung makulit nung high school Sa Samar School of Arts and Trades, pero bumalik ako sa Polytechnic para tapusin yung Bachelor's degree ko sa loob ng sampung taon, kaya marami rin akong mga kaibigan at mga classmates sa college na naging close ko talaga. Sana sulatan nyo rin ako, siempre I miss all of you. Sana pwedeng mag post ng pictures dito, In a way at ease naman ako sa website na ito, kaya ok lang na i divulge mo yung identity mo. At least para sa akin, ewan ko pero pag nababasa ko na patuloy pa rin yung killings sa Samar, napaka barbaric pa rin natin pala. Sana mahinto na yan. Hindi ko alam kung papano.. PERO SANA TANDAAN NATING LAHAT NA ISA LANG ANG BUHAY NATIN, AT HINDI NAMAN NATIN MADADALA ANG KAYAMANAN NATIN SA KABILANG BUHAY, Bakit natin kailangan ang POWER, bakit natin Kailangan ang salapi? bakit kelagan isalaksak ang isang idolohiya sa mga taong ayaw naman nito? Hayaan na lang sana natin kung ano man ang pinipiling daang gustong tahakin ninuman. FREEDOM yan ang kailangan natin at batas na magpapatupad ng isang mapayapang pamayanan. SANA'Y mahalin natin ang ating kapwa at sana'y MATUTO TAYONG MAGING MAPAGKUMBABA, MATULUNGIN AT MAPAGKAWANG GAWA. Yan lang ang tanging dindasal ko.

What drives us to conflict?

This is a question that points us back in time. What is the human psychology of killing especially between Government soldiers and the New Peoples Army, Muslim terrorist and Christian fanatics, hold-upper and victim, abortionist and the mother, murderer and the innocents, fraternities/gangs and rivals.

Well to my simple understanding of killings has something to do with the complex existence of conflict and array of someone’s interest, its coercion. If we take a closer look in the training of soldiers and armed groups they are so designed to harm and destroy adversaries. The alertness of their mind are skilled to identify potential targets and possible opponents.

This capability to harm and destroy is both obscured by the rule of engagement. The split second decision to eliminate target on the field is rule by our brains but the higher and meditated decisions is determined by our minds.

To kill is always an act of superiority and survival, the thinking at all times being right (thought it is wrong and repulsive.) and energized during the action is fulfilling and satisfying are functions and motivations of our human behavior which sits in our mind and resides in our brain.

We know that data and information that gets inside our brain be it ideology, sex, business or murder are product that exists externally. A barangay tanod cannot absurd information of a genetic engineer unless a thorough and lengthy data transfer is made to his thoughts. The same is in government soldier and new peoples army cadre. A floods of relevant data and information is transmitted to the receptive person to influence their behavior for dual purpose. For the use by the minders and converts itself.

We live in a hierarchial network or pyramid scheme wherever we go. Children are under parents, and younger siblings and both under parents and older siblings. In Companies rank and file employees and under bosses and manager and the later also are under chief and captains and the same is under vice-presidents and CEO’s the higher you are the higher you become a minder and exploiter. Equality is a fallacy but rather competition abounds.

Data and information works the same from minders down the executors. Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders wont do suicide bombing it’s done by converts to do killings. Same thing is happening in the Phil. Army and NPA. Pawns are pawns they are not queens in the game of chess. Unless the pawn knows the secret of being a queen he/she can also be a good exploiter and minder. Like Gloria Mapacagal-Arroyo she is a good minder, exploiter and competitor she know the rule of the game in politics. The same is the oppositions if they want to win you have to slew her by all means. If they knew there’s hole on the ship then destabilize and rock the boat do not help to rescue it, this is the way it is. The ordinary people become pawns and victims. Sacrificial lambs are offered, loyal are ask to give and bleed more.

Loyalist and political mercenaries are promise hefty reward. The other party may be left disadvantaged but the other will claim higher moral ground and the same can be reverse in the near future…wala… parang Gulong ng Palad. This game of conflict existed ever since the dawn of man. So few are the minder and exploiter that are willing to change the rule of command and conquer because if they do another will rise to slew them and dominate. Grace and mercy is given only with interest, purpose and show. So? Who will change? NO BODY? SO THE KILLINGS IN SAMAR WILL GO ON????? Congratulation!!!

I am just wondering if the introduction or incorporation in the curriculum at school re: respect of human rights and life, will help reduce the incidence of salvaging, senseless killings and violence in the near future, (or has it been incorporated?) I believe that school kids in the present generation will pick up something sensible if they "choose" to become soldiers or rebels when they grow up.

Or these are just purely common sense and judgment of a decent person that one needs to respect someone's right to live or die? Aahh....  common sense is not always common.

This is an appeal for our people in Samar, especially the victims of the ongoing fighting between the soldiers of the Philippine Government and the New Peoples Army.

Some kind souls, our friends, have sent in $25, $50, $20, $10, and $40. We told them that this amount is earmarked to help the victims of the fighting in Samar -- the soldiers who were ambushed in Calbiga for instance, the 3 young men and woman and the 8-year old boy who was caught in the crossfire when the Government Soldiers attacked a Barangay in Jiabong, or the 2 soldiers and a civilian who died when the vehicle they were riding exploded when a land mine was detonated somewhere in Basey.

God knows that we want to help everyone who is in great need, especially the victims of the fighting going on now in Samar. But we don't have very much. Our soldiers are compensated by the Government. Whereas, the families of those who believe in the legitimacy of their cause are probably bereft of any assistance from the leadership they are supporting.

This is a terrible dilemma.

This is therefore an appeal to anyone who has the heart to help. Let us share whatever we can spare.

We don't want to be accused of favoring one group over the other. The protagonists in this sad war are all Filipinos.

I am requesting Mr. Ray Gaspay to handle the contributions initially. Perhaps, he can be assisted by the Bishop of Calbayog and Ms. Christine Casurao who is a member of the United Church of Christ of the Philippines.

Please...a little no matter how small, provided it comes from your heart, to show our pity and compassion for our people.
