A TABLET to improve the barangays in Davao City

The barangay is considered to be the local government unit closest to the people in terms of access and proximity, its role in local service delivery is very essential in the development of the community.  Leaders in the barangay are key players in national development for they have highly significant roles in shaping the future of the nation. Hence, empowerment of these leaders is one of the keystones in achieving progress.

With this important role in national development, barangay leaders should be properly equipped with the appropriate knowledge and skills in governing the community. Most of the barangay leaders lack the technical skills (i.e. technical writing, data management, project planning and evaluation, etc.) in serving their constituents. Given that barangay leaders are not experts (yet), supplementary materials and trainings are needed to improve their current abilities, for they are expected to efficiently and effectively serve their clienteles.

Celebrating Women Empowerment

Credits to: http://acelebrationofwomen.org

Today, 8th day March of 2015, is the International Women's Day, this day we will celebrate women empowerment and gender equality. Since time in memorial, women were perceived by men as future housewives, they were not entitled to pursue higher education (before) since they are expected to be a homemaker when they get married. But being the house wife is not an easy task, as what others believed in. As a matter of fact, it requires intelligence, patience and perseverance. Its not easy to rear children, cook meals, do the laundry, clean the house and fulfill duties to your husband. You could not feel or understand your mom today or appreciate the things that she do, but if you become a parent yourself, you soon realize that its the hardest job in the world. 

A dream house that came true

Since childhood, I really want to have my own house and I was granted a new home through PAG-IBIG housing loan. It has really a dream come true for my family. After the long canvassing and cost-benefit analysis of the different real estate developers in Davao City, we have chosen this subdivision because of its strategic area, low down payment scheme and amortization. Not to boost the features of subdivision, which is also a plus factor compared to other developers. The lucky one chosen is "RESIDENCIA DEL RIO" (RDR) Subdivision located at Barangay Catalunan Pequeno, Talomo District, Davao City. Come and visit our subdivision and be our next neighbor!

Our Sagada Trip

I seldom travel with my family and friends because I don't have enough budget or shall we say I don't allocate travel expenses from my income. I only travel, when its official business, and last November 28 to December 6, 2014, together with my colleagues, we traveled in Baguio City and Sagada, Mountain Province. It was an official trip because we will be presenting our research paper in the 1st ILS International Research Conference and we have extended our stay to check the view around and it was a great experience. 

In the picture was me during our caving adventure in Sagada and it was great, we had explored a lot of sites including the handing coffins and the yellow pie house. It was really an unforgettable experience. I hope we could go back there and take a long vacation. We also have met new friends, a Jewish, French and Danish traveler.
