 Imahe ng Mahal na Birhen ng Guadalupe, dumalaw sa Pagsanjan PAGSANJAN, LAGUNA — Naging tampok sa isang makasaysayang pagdiriwang sa Pagsanjan ang pagdating ng sagradong pilgrim image ng Mahal na Birhen ng Guadalupe mula Mexico, na sinalubong ng mga deboto, opisyal ng lokal na pamahalaan at mga mananampalataya. Kabilang sa sumalubong sa imahen sina Pagsanjan Mayor Januario Ferry “Jan” Garcia at kanyang pamilya, Laguna Governor Sol Aragones, Congressman Benjie Agarao, mga miyembro ng Sangguniang Bayan ng Pagsanjan, Siniloan Mayor Patrick Go at ang kanyang asawa na si Atty. Gie Gallanosa. Mahalaga ang pagdalaw ng pilgrim image sa Pagsanjan dahil tahanan ang bayan ng isa sa mga makasaysayang dambana na nakaugnay sa debosyon sa Mahal na Birhen ng Guadalupe. Ayon sa lokal na tradisyon, itinatag ang Guadalupe Shrine sa Pagsanjan noong 1687. Bahagi ng pagbisita ang mga banal na gawain, pagdiriwang ng Banal na Misa at pampublikong veneration para sa mga deboto. Inilarawan ng mga tagapagt...

 KONSI FRANCIS CALATRABA NAGPAKITA NG PAKIKIISA SA PAGTATAYO NG BAGONG PICE HEADQUARTERS SAN PABLO CITY — Nagpakita ng pakikiisa si Councilor Francis Calatraba sa pagtatayo ng bagong headquarters ng Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE) sa pamamagitan ng pagdalo bilang guest speaker sa groundbreaking ceremony ng proyekto sa San Jose (Malamig) San Pablo City.  Pinangunahan ni PICE President Maida Maligaya ang naturang proyekto, kasama ang mga opisyal ng organisasyon, board of directors, engineers at iba pang mga panauhin. Sa kanyang mensahe, binigyan-diin ni Calatraba ang kahalagahan ng pagkakaroon ng lakas ng loob sa pagsisimula ng malalaking proyekto, lalo na at kaakibat nito ang iba't ibang hamon, pressure at responsibilidad. Ayon sa konsehal, hindi sapat na magkaroon lamang ng proyekto dahil masusubok ang kakayahan ng isang organisasyon kapag aktuwal nang isinasagawa ang mga gawain at kinakailangang harapin ang mga hamon. Binigyang-diin din niya ang kahal...

PAHAYAG NI SENATOR CHIZ ESCUDERO SA PAGSASABATAS NG RA NO. 12326

Image
 PAHAYAG NI SENATOR CHIZ ESCUDERO SA PAGSASABATAS NG RA NO. 12326 Nilagdaan na ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ang batas na nagtatakda ng limang-taong termino para sa mga opisyal ng barangay at Sangguniang Kabataan, at naglilipat ng BSKE sa Nobyembre 2028. Ito ang hakbang na inaasahang magbibigay ng katiyakan at katatagan sa pamamahala na siyang pinakamahalaga dahil ang barangay ang frontliners ng pamahalaan sa anumang serbisyo publiko. Bilang pangunahing may-akada ng nasabing panukala sa Senado, malinaw sa atin na ang layunin ng batas na ito ay ayusin ang sistema at tiyakin na may malinaw na ikot o siklo sa pamamahala sa barangay. Kapag maayos ang termino, maayos din ang serbisyo. Nagpapasalamat tayo sa Pangulo sa agarang pagsasabatas sa Republic Act No. 12326 Maraming salamat din sa ating mga kasamahan sa Senado, pati na rin sa ating mga kapwa mambabatas sa House of Representatives, sa kanilang suporta at pakikiisa upang maipasa ang repormang ito. Sa kanilang...

*CHIZ EYES INTEGRATION OF UNSOLD CONDO UNITS INTO STATE HOUSING PROGRAM*  Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero is pushing to bring thousands of unsold condominium units into the government’s housing program, saying that existing real estate inventory should be tapped as part of broader efforts to make decent and affordable housing more accessible to Filipinos. Escudero brought up the proposal during his Chiz Wiz! podcast over the weekend, where he was joined by Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Undersecretary Marisol Anenias and Colliers Philippines Research Director Joey Roi Bondoc, who cited an estimated 80,000 unsold condominium units in the National Capital Region alone, many of which were originally intended for the Philippine offshore gaming operator market. Describing it as a “housing paradox,” the veteran legislator noted that while thousands of condominium units remain unoccupied, millions of Filipinos continue to face a housing backlog, ...
