Happy Women’s Day!

Today marks the celebration of Women’s Day. Butuan has it’s own share of the great event. Happy Women’s Day!

Even though they make up half the population, women and girls have endured discrimination in most societies for thousands of years. In the past, women were treated as property of their husbands or fathers – they couldn’t own land, they couldn’t vote or go to school, and were subject to beatings and abuse and could do nothing about it. Over the last hundred years, much progress has been made to gain equal rights for women around the world, but many still live without the rights to which all people are entitled. — Robert Alan

Beauty never comes late

For the past 30 min. I was browsing the web looking for materials about Butuan. Not much has been written about my beloved city. There were bloggers like me who write but only did it occasionally. Usually these write-ups were journals and diaries of their visit. I don’t believe there’s nothing worth writing about Butuan. Butuan is an interesting place- full of history and a lot of friendly people. However, there were a number of superb photo blogs in the web. Many of these collections are found in flicker.com. Just type butuan in the search space and click. Of the images I found what interest me were the photo collections of beautiful ladies. The above photo is one of those. Though it was taken during the 2008 Ms. Bikini Contest but I believe posting it here is not late. Beauty never comes late. It will never die.

2D- Discipline and Disease

Many Butuanons are too hard headed to follow traffic rules. No matter what and how many signs and warnings are posted- they won’t give a damn. Simple rules seems so hard to follow. This becomes a disease.

That’s why we won’t progress.

Ching, again?

Is it true that former Butuan City Rep. Charito Plaza will run again for congress? When will these people get tired in the name of public service? Why don’t they focus their energies on real public service? I’m sure many Butuanons will be happy about it.

I am not wondering why issues like this appeared:

Former Butuan City Rep. Charito Plaza said the lot purchase for instance in Barangay Tiniwisan, which was bought by Butuan City Government at P1,200 per square meter was overpriced Plaza claimed that during her tenure as legislator she only bought government funds the lots in Barangay Libertad which is very near to the city proper as compared to Barangay Tiniwisan at only P18 per square meter.

It’s election time again.
