Closing Chapter

      It's been a while since I finished my internship. Honestly, I was very anxious that I will not be able to finish my internship because I wouldn't be able to publish any articles. That is why it was such a relief for me to see my 8th and last article published in full page in Sun Star Baguio last Valentine's Day.
Flowers of the North: My feature story published in Sun Star Baguio last February 14, 2013.

    However, my feature story was also my first and only single byline that was published. According to my supervisor, I had three other single byline. Unfortunately, it did not see print for some reasons. Still, I am delighted to be able to publish, plus the three photos in the article is also mine.

    It may not be a big deal to others, but I see it as an accomplishment and and a learning experience.

Here is the link to my 7th and 8th articles: Valentine's Day doubles prices of flowers - http://www.sunstar.com.ph/baguio/local-news/2013/02/14/valentine-s-day-doubles-prices-flowers-268142

The Drug Rehabilitation Center Project in Irisan, Baguio City

           Euphoria or being "high" is one of the immediate effects of crystalline methamphetamine, also known as Shabu or poor man’s cocaine. 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 affect an individual's health

Phase1: Patience is a virtue

           I was asked to cover the Adivay festival specifically, the horses and cowboys parade.            I have no idea what time the event will start, so I decided to come early to avoid the traffic, and to not miss the parade. Since there was no traffic, I arrived in Benguet Sports Complex at 8:20A.M. The parade haven't started yet and I thought I should visit the booths. Booths of the thirteen municipalities of Benguet showcasing and selling their products to visitors. The landscapes in front of the  booths are the entry of each municipalities for the best landscape contest.           Each 13 municipalities have their own booths showcasing their products. I was amazed with the beautiful landscapes and creative booths. I wanted to try their delicacies, but I didn't brought money with me. Here are some photos of the booths and  landscapes:           An hour passed and the still no parade. I visited the stalls selling snacks and woodcarvin

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.
