Phase3: Mayor's office

Today, I had my first assignment for 2013. My supervisor, Ma'am Malen, is on travel right now, and she asked me to do a news story about the status quo on taxes. I went to La Trinidad municipal hall to gather information. I am really glad that the staff are all friendly and approachable. I didn't had trouble getting information since they are all willing to help even though they are busy.

Aside from getting the information I need, I also learned the process and the requirements needed to get married. ^_^

un-LAKE-ly view of Burnham Park

I would just like to share these pictures of the Burnham Lake minus the water. Instead of boats, I found backhoe in the middle of the famous Burnham Lake. Instead of tourists admiring the cold weather, I saw workers busy clearing the man-made lake. The clearing project of the Burnham aims to fix the flaws of the lake that was built during the American regime in the Philippines. The boats were placed outside the lake, and was replaced with backhoes. After draining the lake, tilapia, wallets, and cellphones were found at the bottom of the lake. The tilapia were given to the bystanders. Tourists and residents watch as workers clear the now muddy Burnham lake with backhoes. The empty Burnham lake is expected to be refilled with water by January 25, in time for the Panagbenga Festival in February.

Shabu is one of the most common and widely used illegal drugs in the country, according to Asia and Pacific Amphetamine-Type Stimulants Information Centre (APAIC). It would only take a few minutes or hours for a user to feel high and full of energy, depending whether he/she swallowed, inhaled or injected the crystal meth. However, a few moments of heightened energy and happiness would eventually take its toll. In the long run, a shabu user would experience insomnia, anxiety, weight loss, hallucination, psychosis, violent behavior, kidney damage, and inflammation of the lining of the heart that might eventually result in death. The long-term effects of drug abuse are alarming not only for the users, but also for their family. Source: The Sara Bellum Blog An edited effects on how drugs ...
