Johnny: The Juan Ponce Enrile Story at Studio 23

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile is a living legend in Philippine politics and a key figure in Philippine history. As as a Cagayano, I believe that we should all know about Senator Enrile, his life and his legacy. 

For those who failed to watch the documentary (including me), Johnny: The Juan Ponce Enrile Story will be shown at Studio 23 on Sunday from 7:30-9:00 P.M. (Source https://twitter.com/ABSCBN Sept. 27)

His autobiography, Juan Ponce Enrile: A Memoir, is also out. I do hope I could get a copy soon. Mabuhay ka Manong Johnny!

Earthquake Preparedness Guide

A magnitude 7.6 earthquake happened 90 miles off of Samar leaving 1 dead and minor infrastructural damages. Considering the magnitude of the earthquake, we were lucky that the damages are minimal.  So far, I don't remember any strong quakes happening in Cagayan during the last decade, the last earthquake I remember occurred during the speech of then President Gloria Arroyo at Tuguegarao. Still, it is important that we are aware of what to do in case this happens in Cagayan. 

Mag-ingat sa Dengue

I recently read a news article from the Philippine Information Agency stating that dengue cases in Cagayan is on the rise. Click here to read article. There's no cause for panic just yet. We can all do our part in preventing and keeping our communities safe from dengue.

Magapit Bridge reopens

Nearly three months after the Magapit Bridge was closed, the bridge is once again open for the traveling public. Crossing the Cagayan River was troublesome these past few months due to the repairs of Magapit Bridge. The good news, it is now open. For more details read this article from Inquirer.net.

Last week sinubukan kong i-search sa internet ang schedule para sa Aggao Nac Cagayan 2012 pero hindi ko mahanap ang Official Website ng Province of Cagayan, down ata ang website. Buti na lang napanood ko ang announcement sa Channel 8 ng RBC kaya dali-dali kong kinopya tsaka ko ipinost para mainform din ang online community.
