echos from the past.........

ANG BUHAY AY PARANG FRUTAS, MULA BUBOT, MAHIHINOG, MALALANTA.
PARANG SIKAT NG ARAW, SISIKAT TITIRK LULUBOG

shooting incident patay ang victim needs medico legal and soco, this is what i heard in my police radio scanner

as i waited and monitor over sms about my mothers condition, listen ako sa scanner ko police traffic at wee hors, it is very interesting , panay shooting incident

I just have a cal from malibay , informing me that my mother is sick and LBM


this is daddy binabantayan si mommy mag damag, sya din ang nag hatol ng gamot

after being informed na may sakit si mommy at 230am i immediately proceed to malibay, i was so relived na pag dating ko stop na lbm, nakaka takot kasi sa age nila because a simple flu pwede lumala
this small hours call is what i dread most, eto yung mga " bulaga call" even though before my daddy and I use to talk lenghtly at these times before his stroke, instances like this talagang na devastate ako emotionally. sa age nila ngayon a few hours sick without timely medical intervention may worsen at baka llumala at ma ICU, lalo na re blood pressure.
2 days ago i was really hesitant na buy mommy squid na alam ko favorite nya

in the 1980's every year during christmas time a member of my family will be sick and more often be brought to the hospital for that reason

why did the PBA leave Cuneta astrodome?




The Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay city used to be the home of the PBA until 1998, before our administration took over we have ateam to study the finances of the city, reviewing the income of this contract wih the pBA, t was an onerous contract, one sided, Pasay city govt will only be earning 100,000 pesos per year, it is like surrendering the jurisdiction of this venue to the PBA, and they are the ones who handle the gates, the concessionaires, tickets and others, even scalping tickets, it is very glamorous to be the home of the PBA but our city needs income , our IRA is not enough because we use it for debt servicing.

here comes atong ang who wants to conduct cock fights in the Astrodome who will rent the place for 100,000 per night three times a week.

it was a very unpopular move by the city govt, several sports reporter lambasted our administration for it,in the tabloids and broad sheet, we want to e fair with everybody and would like to accommodate both cockfight which earns alot for pasay and PBA which is very prestigious for the city. until the PBA commissioner threaten us that they will vacate the place if cock fighting persist. they want to have it exclusive PBA

si atong ang lagi ko na kikita sa news paper, i was so intrigu sa kanya

, sometimes i got irked and i wish mag ka salubong kami sa isang lugar noon kasi nabalitaan ko mayabang daw siya... during those times if he has goons mas madami siguro ako....... minsan I want to cross his path ang test him ..., mnan mayabang ako, at i say to myself kahit sa labas kami ng pasay mag kita.. siguro that time lasing ako sa kapangyarihan. and I ant to test it kay atong Ang

tapos one day sa heritage hotel , yung taong gusto ko makabanga ay kilala pala ng lawyer namin si atty freddie Villamor, at nung pinakilala sa akin si Atong Ang ay sabay kami sinabi na kilala ko na yan...... noon pala nag kasama na kami sa isang pag kakataon na di ko pwede ibunyag dito sa blog.. hangang naging magkaibigan na ulit kami,,, sya pala si charlie ang dating nag pupunta sa malibay.. sya pala naka hayabusha na kaibigan ko,,, kilala ko mga kapatid nya sina Paz at william, hangang si william naka tambay na sa office ko at lagi ako kasama.

Blogging is fun, para kang gumagawa ng Baby book

I just learn Blogging last May thru my Daughther Joanne, she set me up this layout a and teached me how to post pictures and captions. I find it very interesting, it also served as my diary and album rolled into one.
thru this i could sms my sister theresa in California to have an update to the daily routines of our parents.
I also make this as an explanations to my actions in the past, asto how and why? like some acts and ommisions we did, tha should not be admited before, now i can tell them freely, like our participation in MRT rails in edsa, the decission to fight against recall, the negotiations with the cout of appeals justices, the comelec fixers who took it as an oortunity to fry us in our fats. The coourt rdered medical exams at PGH, my loosing support for the post of cheif of police. who double cross who?

Dati ang pag gawa ng Baby book ng mga anak ko ay pinag uukilan ko ng Panahon, rfrom birth till present pinupuno ko pa yun, mga pictures at mga first plane ride and ipa pa.

unlocking volvo radio at "off" posistion is more technical than at code posistion



for the past 3 weeks i havent unlock my radio in my car because it reached a more anti theft mode in the "radio sys off mode" Iam used to just connect and disconnect the battery, but now i realized that in this mode of locking system, you have to insert the keys at the ignition one posistion for two hours, until the code could be press.

ysmael and may claudio family, Canada





this is ysma , may ad thier children in winnipeg, Monitoba, Canada
ysma and I grew up together in malibay, played basketball together and alot of other kids activity, they are very close to my folks. May his wife is in charge of the mayor's office personell in our time, she was very strict, sometimes nag tatampo ako kasi yung mga pinapasol ko sa platilla ay hindi naa pasok, dahil sobra dami. it resulted some casual and employees na personal ko pina pasueldo. later i realized na eto pala ay order ni daddy ko to minimize our bloated casuals.

Arlene and I are very sad when May left for Canada, she has been very close to our hearts, before she left, I gave her a despidida party, i rented a bus with all our staff and families to Virgin of Manaoag in Pangasinan.

reward for loyalty

sometime back, people who are close to me, who are loyal to my family i give them rewards like a 750cc police special motorcycle i gave one to boy innocentes who drives me daily, a God son of mine, a friend and confidant police major, and a radio staion announcer .
for me loyalty is number one, however some relatives of mine, even family members close to my heart are wooed and used by my enemies
