Bliss Part 9

Bliss Scandal Part 9

Last year lang na ipalabas sa “XXX” ang istorya na ito at akala  ko ay tapos na rin ang pagleak ng video nito. Pero nakakagulat at may lumabas nanamang Bliss Scandal Part 9 at kung papanuorin ito mapapansin na ito nga rin yun dati niyang nakasama sa mga naunang video.

Ang pangalan daw ni tatang ay Joel Lito Tionzon   .Sa naunang istorya na lumabas ang victima ay isang girl for hire at ang kanyang tulak ay ang sariling ina. Ang ate niya ay meron din video na kasama si tatang at si inay din daw ang nagbugaw dito.

Dayaan sa Willing Willie?

Dayaan sa Willing Willie?

 

Meron bang dayaan na nangyayari sa Willing Willie? Pansinin nyo lang na kapag nag out of town sila halos nakukuha yun jackpot? Nung time na kailangan niya ng mass appeal dahil pupunta siya /pumunta siya sa RTC nanalo yung contestant niya.

Kung iisipin kasi ang pinapakita lang naman na tinatakpan eh yung letter “W” yun iba hindi naman nakikita kung bokya ba talaga or puro “W” ang laman…

Kung gusto kong may  manalo sa araw na iyon puro “w” ang ilalagay ko. Kung paliliitin ko ang chance para manalo ang contestant puro bokya at isang “w” lang ang ilalagay ko dun.

Pero pangdaraya ba iyon or pagiging galante?

Pero sana before paikutin yun wheel dapat ipakita muna kung ano ang laman nung iba para walang agam agam sa  lahat.

Why a Million Hectares

Why a Million Hectares

Angelito M. Sarmiento

MARID Editorial Board

 

In a recent talk with agri-practioners from the University of the Philippines, Los Baños (UPLB), I was told of their disappointment over the seemingly wholesale invasion of agricultural products in the local market from China. This was coupled with the government plan to open a million hectares of the agri-land for Chinese businessmen, despite of the existence or availability of local agri-talents recognized and hired by foreign governments and organizations.

To a large extent, I share their concern. UPLB enjoyed high international recognition as an educational institution producing top caliber agri-people. But the inability of the Philippines to elevate its agricultural productivity equal if not better than nearby countries somehow puts a dent in its image. Somewhere, somehow, the agriculture scenario seems not equal to the recognition anymore.

In retrospect, there are many things that could have been done but that is water under the bridge. A litany of “what could have been” is an input to the equation, but knowing where we are and where we want to go is a basic fundamental in planning. Not knowing where we are will not bring us anywhere.

Questions why agri-products from China and far-away lands are able to penetrate local markets at competitive levels must be answered outside of  the off-the-cuff reasons of government subsidies and price dumping. Real answers must be given to guide local producers in their investment ventures and activities.

Determination of the competitive areas, now and in the future, must be known so that government interventions and programs can be consistently pursued (and funded), and not be dependent on who heads the agri-bureacracy and other interim officials.

Unlike in the other government initiatives, agricultural programs require long term nurturing commitment and sustained attention to bring in the projected economic results. There is no other way. Continue reading “Why a Million Hectares”

WE CAN GROW CABBAGE IN BICOL

WE CAN GROW CABBAGE IN BICOL

By Reynaldo R. Radan

 

After harvesting rice in September, many Filipino farmers let their fields remain ideal until the next rice cropping period. For two months – from October to November – they let weeds take over their fields. Vicente Lorete, an enterprising farmer-businessman who is the Planters Products dealer in Daraga, Albay, considers this a waste of time and resources. He thinks that farmers everywhere should utilize their fields during the turnaround period to increase their productivity and income.

 

In late 1979, Lorete decided to plant a short-season, cash crop between two rice cropping seasons. And he decided on cabbage. This raised many eyebrows because few Bicolano farmers had tried growing cabbage and those who did didn’t meet with so much success.

 

But Lorete was undaunted. He knew of a heat-tolerant cabbage variety. He had also heard that farmers in some lowland provinces had successfully produced cabbage on a commercial scale. If Bicolano farmers could grow cabbage, he reasoned they would earn a big profit between croppings of rice. “Besides,” says Lorete, “Daraga is a vegetable area, and I knew an energetic farmer who was willing to plant cabbage under my supervision.” Continue reading “WE CAN GROW CABBAGE IN BICOL”
