At the meeting, Anda’s Mayor, Hon. Angelina B. Simiacio presented Robin and Birgit with certificates of appreciation as an expression of gratitude and sincere admiration of their selfless dedication and services rendered for conducting the distribution of priority needs. “We live in Suba, Anda and we have started a number of projects to help eradicate child poverty in Anda. The first of these is to discover the priority needs of the 18 day care centres and start to fulfil them. We have personally visited all 18 day care centres, even in the most remote mountain barangays, to meet the teachers, take photos and find out exactly what is needed. Improving the day centres’ resources is just the beginning, we hope to be able to do a lot more in the future for all Anda’s children,” states Birgit Naur from Estonia.

The price of silver on January 1, 2000 was $5.34/oz. Today the price of silver is hovering around $32/oz., which is a gain of over 500% in twelve years! This dramatic increase in silver prices is creating a higher investment demand for silver every year which in turn pushes prices up even higher. So if you are considering buying silver for the first time or simply adding to a precious metals portfolio that you already have you may be asking yourself, why buy silver now, after prices have already risen so much? There are quite a few reasons to buy silver but they basically fall into three main categories which are price speculation, fear and portfolio diversification. Once you have a strong understanding for why people buy silver then you can make decisions for yourself on what is best for you. Speculating on Silver Prices Buying silver now and hoping that the price will rise high enough to turn a decent profit is the main reason that people are buying silver online today. As previously mentioned silver is up over 500% in the past twelve years and we believe that silver prices have much higher still to go. Really smart investors understand trends in the market, and one trend that they are watching very closely is the bull market. Bull markets are not random and they do tend to follow a pattern. Bull markets occur in three phases, accumulation, awareness and panic/speculation phase. In the first phase most of the buyers are institutional, hedge funds, Wall Street etc. In this phase the general public is not participating on a... read more
Jagna barangay road sinks over 3 meters
CANTUYOC, Jagna October 3 (PIA)–A barangay road descending to Canjulao from Barangay Cantuyoc in Jagna town disappears three meters below making the Cantuyoc-Canjulao access impassable to wheeled traffic. Access is only through foot trail and that is hardly an easy one. The cut barangay road link, makes travel to Cantuyok circuitous as the only road link open is through Tubod Monte, then to Malbog before skirting again to Cantuyoc, explains Barangay Chairman Geronimo Daguplo. The new route is about twice longer than the usual over 3 kilometers using the broken barangay road to Canjulao and then to Pagina and Poblacion Jagna. Last week, Jagna Mayor Fortunato Abrenilla shared the report to local papers, when the landslide pushed down some 3 feet of the road. The consequent report had the mayor telling that the depression has sunk further down to 6 feet. Continuous rains which fell during the ending days of September has caused the already burdened portion of the barangay road which has a culvert draining into it. Landslides however is nothing new in Jagna, which had towering cliffs and tall limestone mountains burdened by overgrown trees which also contributes to the strain the already saturated land is carrying. Years back, a major landslide in Barangay Mayana buried houses, dislocated a basketball court and chapel bringing them across a national road and moving ricefields meters away. In Sitio Taytay, Cantuyoc, the landslide appears to be a contiguous hectare of land chopped off the hills, but instead of toppling down, it moved sideways as the base gritted under the sheer weight of the chunk chipping off. The slid portion starts...No Results Found
