YLCF, Inc. at Bacoor, Cavite
Tuesday, September 21, 2010




Hand in hand with Bacoor's Congresswoman Lani Mercado Revilla, our group the Yellow Ladies of Charity Foundation, Inc. helped in the Coastal Clean-Up and Planting of Mangrove Trees in the Coastal area of Bacoor, Cavite. Since our YLCF, Inc. President Ms. Anna Aquino has an important meeting with the Mayor of the City of Pines and other members had other commitments, only four of us were in attendance namely yours truly Chairman Marie, Cely Wong, Ate Vee and Meg. The half-day activity was worth it despite the heat.Labels: Charity, Community Service, Love of Country

All About Philippine Holidays
Thursday, August 5, 2010
National, Official and Non-working Holidays in the Philippines 2010
In general, providing a fixed list of holiday dates is difficult because most of the 2010 regular holidays and nationwide special holidays in the Philippines are movable, as provided under Republic Act 9492 (an Act rationalizing the celebration of national holidays). For these movable holidays, the President is tasked by law to issue a Proclamation, at least 6 months prior to a movable holiday, fixing the specific date of that non-working day.

Annual LAKBAY ARAL PROGRAM (Batch 3)
Friday, July 23, 2010
I've been to Cebu City which is considered as one of the prime Cities of the Philippines thrice but the feeling of excitement is still up. Aside from the many beautiful spots around, the grandeur of the Waterfront Hotel, the yummy lechon Cebu, the camaraderie among fellow Chairmen and of course the added knowledge to learn from the Seminar but most of all the chance to see my brother's family and his newborn baby girl Merianela adds up to this exciting trip. Well surely I won't forget my ever reliable and handy Canon camera to document all the activities and my new Laptop as well. I hope the weather will be fine too.

Exercise your Right to Vote, Register Now!

2010 NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTIONS
Registration deadline is October 31
"The Commission resolved to move back the voters’ registration deadline to October 31 from December 15 in order to give us more time to prepare for the full automation of the 2010 elections," Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said in a statement.
Despite the earlier deadline for registration, Jimenez said that voters will be given more opportunities to register after the commission also ruled to open registration on Saturdays and holidays, mainly to encourage students and workers to register.
Before you can vote, you need to register. Here’s a step by step guide to successfully registering as a voter for the upcoming elections:
1. Bring any of the following valid identification cards:
- employee’s ID,
- postal ID,
- Students ID,
- Driver’s License,
- NBI or PNP clearance,
- Passport,
- SSS/GSIS ID, IBP ID,
- PRC license
Have a photo copy of your ID ready to be submitted to the Comelec. IDs should have name, picture and address. If you are not yet 18 but will turn 18 before the election period, bring a birth certificate. Forms should be accomplished in triplicate.
2) Head off to your local Election Officer (OEO) at your local city or municipal hall during regular office hours (read: Mondays to Fridays, from 8am to 5pm). Lately, the Comelec has opened their doors as well to Saturday registrations. It’s also good to watch out for mobile registrations in your barangay and schools.
3) Before you are given a registration form, the election officer will verify if you have registered in the past.
4) Once cleared, you will be given the CEF-1A (white form) to fill-up. You can also download your own copy from the Commission on Elections website.
5) Fill up ‘Part 1’ and hand it to the election officer, presenting your valid ID while handing over the photocopy of your ID.
6) You will be ushered to the data capturing or biometrics desk for your signature, thumb mark, and picture.
7) You will be given an acknowledgement receipt. Keep this as proof that you have registered. You will be asked to come back for your voters’ ID. –
* Based on COMELEC’s and YVote Philippines’s election registration guide. Registration for first-time voters will end on October 31, 2009.

“SOBA” State of the Barangay Address
Magandang hapon po sa inyo mga kabarangay. Ako sampu ng aking konseho ay lubos na nagpapasalamat sa panahong inilaan niyo upang makadalo sa ika apat nating Barangay Assembly.
1. Availability of Cedula (Community Tax Certificate);
2. Barangay Survey para sa talaan ng mga residenteng ating barangay;
3. Planning Session ng buong konseho na ginanap noong February 21, 2009;
4. Pagpapagawa ng mga Plant Boxes at pagtatanim ng mga sari-saring namumulaklak na halaman
5. Team building ng mga Tanod at Konseho. Ang mga panauhing tagapagsalita ay sina Fortun
6. Lakbay Aral na pinamunuan ng namayapang kagawad Peter Celestine “Tin” Tinio noong Abril 22, 2009 sa Manila Zoo at
7. Clean up drive on April 19, 2009 sabay testing ng ating barangay pondahan ng tubig ( fire truck):
8. Pagpapaskel ng Citizen Charter Chart.
9. Pakikilahok sa Earth Hour na sinuportahan ng 90% ng ating Barangay;
10. Pagpapapinta , hilamos at linis ng maliit na grotto sa harapan nina Robert at Tess Garcia maliban sa mukha ng rebulto ni Mama Mary;
11. Paglalagay ng mga banderitas para sa Kapistahan ng Sta Ana; palaro na inisponsor ng isang Konsehal at residente ng ating Barangay;
12. Taunang Santacruzan na pinamumunuan ng SK Chairman at kanyang Konseho;
13. Ang Pagpapasundot ng mga kanal “ declogging “ na naging palagiang ginagawa upang maiwasan ang pagbabara ng mga ito;
14. Pagbili ng mga Brgy. materials na katulad ng pala, plehe, flashlights at iba pang mga kagamitan.

Sa puntong ito nais kong pasalamatan ang Diyos at hindi tayo matinding na apektuhan ng mga bagyong Ondoy at Pepeng. Nais ko po kayong paalalahanan na dapat lagi tayong maging handa sa ano mang mga kalamidad na darating sa atin. Ang naging malaking problema natin noon ay ang basura na di agad nakolekta. Akin lang pong pakiusap na ihiwalay natin ang mga nabubulok sa di nabubulok at huwag po nating ilalabas ang mga ito kung wala pa ang truck ng basura.
Sa kabutihang palad, wala naman po tayong problema sa mga kabarangay na lulong sa droga o mga nangangalakal nito.
At sa pagtatapos nito, nais ko po kayong paalalahanan na kung sino pa ang di pa nakakapag parehisto ay puede pa pong magpunta sa COMELEC hangang sa Oktubre 31, 2009, upang magpatala.
Maraming Salamat at Mabuhay ang Barangay 885!
Marina G. Vergara
Chairman

Happy birthday friend!
Thursday, March 12, 2009
I met Tonyboy and Anna Aquino in the middle of last year at the church we previously attend. They were newbie members then. Because we both belong in the political and community service - he being a former Congressman of Tarlac from the famous and well respected Aquino clan whose father is the older brother of Ninoy Aquino, we shared the same interests. We became much closer then when we both transferred to our new church, The Next Generation International Christian Church where we work in the Outreach Ministry dedicated to serving and discipling less fortunate fellowmen in different communities sharing our blessings through feedings and gift giving and most of all sharing the word of God.
Last Friday, his wife Anna hosted a surprise birthday party for the Golden Boy held at the 34th floor of the Petron Mega Towers in Makati City with our church family and close friends from the political and military world. It was a night of fun music and brotherhood.
Here’s wishing you strenght, good health and continuous faith and service to the Lord.

An able public servant?
Wednesday, January 28, 2009


- they should have stated that KAPITAN is a group composed of 33 bry. chairmen (not chairwomen),
- I didn't construct the barangay hall, I only converted the used to be dirty (as in dirty) kitchen and tambakan to a now modest Chairman's Office, and
- Sta. Ana Police Station 6 not Pasay City
it was kind of a different feeling knowing some people believes in what you are doing.
