0.50 cent Fare rollback takes effect Nov.7 Friday!
November 5, 2008 By Leave a Comment
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said on Wednesday that the implementation of the new fares in jeepney and bus is on November 7 and 10, respectively. This means a good news to all Filipinos who commute everyday. Although the price rollback is just 0.50 cents there are still pending petitions to roll the prices back up to P1.50 for jeepneys and P2.00 for buses.
We are hoping to see that the succeeding price rollback before the year ends. The fare reduction was due to the falling oil prices in the world market. The local oil prices have dropped too. The diesel prices have gone down 12 times since July for a total of P16.50 a liter, while gasoline had been cut 13 times for a total of P15.50 a liter.
The LTFRB has yet to decide on a petition to remove the P10 “add-on” for taxi fare.

My Nov. 2 visit to Banasalan Public Cemetery!
November 2, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Traditionally during the November 1 and 2 are the days where most of us Filipinos visit our loved ones in the cemetery. It is usually on the first of November where thousands flock to visit the cemetery, light a candle and offer some flowers. But I go there always on the 2nd of November, the main reason is that it is no longer very crowded and I usually go there early in the morning.
More on the aricle after the jump! Click read more below.
Since I now live in Digos City and my parents are laid to rest in Bansalan, Davao del Sur. I still have to take a bus which is just 20 minute ride away. The intersection leading to the cemetery is where the traffic usually stops since getting out and riding the buses, jeepneys and private vehicles goes in and the people walking through the streets.
Vendors selling candles,flowers, snack items, beverages, candies, toys and even ukay-ukay are there selling so as to make a little profit for the occasion.
A temporary chapel was put up with just a tent as a roof inside the cemetery and on the side is what the local calls the “condominium” units for their loved ones. It is a 3 storey high (sort of) where those people who cannot afford to lease a lot in the public cemetery lay their loved ones.
The cemetery in Bansalan is undergoing a major facelift courtesy of Mayor Edwin Reyes. I am very impressed, the mayor is just less than two years and already he has done a lot to develop the town and of those is developing the public cemetery. And their perspective is seen below.
