Continue to help the people of Botolan, Zambales

I noticed the decreasing volume of donations to the victims of Typhoon Kiko lately. I hope it does not signal the loss of interest to those of us who are not affected.

In what appears to be a turn for the worse, the river changed direction is is poised to inundate a different part of the town, if an when, another typhoon heads their way.














According to governor Amor Deloso, the provincial government needs around P170 million to repair the dike that dike that swallowed so many barangays.

A footbridge was built to give residents access to the other side of Zambales.

Thank you for sending your donations via Paypal. Keep the donations coming to any person, relief organization or government agency you so choose. The important thing is to keep them coming.

Keep them GIs coming...

I noticed that them American servicemen are pretty behaved lately.
No complaints here.

There was an instance where an G.I. Joe got so drunk that he lost his wallet in one of the bars inside the Freeport.
Well, at least that was the claim.
So the Navy rounded them young lads and sent them back to the ship, pronto.

Lesson, you get yourself dead drunk, willingly or unwillingly, you suffer.
A gigantic headache for yourself or somebody else's.

Party on, Dude!
But do take care of yourselves.

Thank you for your Inconvenience

For a community that is blessed with such great environment, whether in land or sea, Subic Bay did not take the Earth Hour campaign too seriously.

I saw a 1 by 2 meter banner at the Olongapo City Mall and another one at the Rizal Gate of the Freeport. Other than those, no coordinated campaign in Subic Bay.

This snub of the Earth Hour by the community, and the government agencies, showed the commitment of the government officials and the residents for the environment.

What about the companies who earn by selling the Subic Bay environment? They may be too concerned with the effluent discharged by the laid up ships to take Earth Hour seriously.

To all those who sacrificed one hour of convenience as a symbolic support for Mother Earth, Thank You!
