I’m not saying that all Jollibee salesladies are slow in the mind. In fact, I admire how many of them balance studies with work. It’s just that I’ve come to encounter one slow saleslady earlier today. At first I didn’t notice anything wrong with her. I ordered my recent favorite (Beefsteak 39er) and a new [...]
A few days ago I went to the city branch of Jollibee in Iligan. Since I just came from the community, I went to the lavatory to have my hands washed. Unfortunately, there was no water. I went queuing with dirty hands, and decided to order something that didn’t involve finger foods like french fries. [...]
Rain had been pelting in Iligan for several days before last Saturday night. I usually don’t care about the weather as long as I am safe inside the house and tucked in for the night. I just hide under my blanket and pillows if it’s too cold, or have my electric fan running all night [...]
By order of the City Council; firecrackers, fireworks, and anything else that can be mistaken for gunshots or bombs are banned during this holiday season. I do not know what the penalty for possession or use of these illegal materials, but I’m hoping it would be big. In this way, the citizens of Iligan should [...]
Another bomb was found earlier today at the corner of Burgos St. with San Miguel Street at about 10:00am earlier today. Iliganons have scavengers to thank for this recent unfolding of events. Let us also thank God for foiling the plans of the terrorists. May He continue to protect us as we remember the birth [...]
Here’s an embedded video from Youtube. The footage shows the events happening a few minutes after first bomb went off. The second bomb can be heard in the video. The panic in the voice of the amateur videographer can be heard as she runs. Check out the Youtube site to view the comments here. It’s [...]
UPDATE: (Current news reveal that the suspects were men in Arab gear. Confusion regarding the sex of the suspects may have been due to the similarity of the form enclosing Arab gear of both sexes. Disregard post. I’m keeping it open for posterity’s sake.) I thought the day would not come when Filipino Muslim women [...]
I did not hear anything about a bomb threat. I, however, was almost a victim of an actual bomb. Had my companions and I decided to go to the College a little later, we would have been victims of the recent bombing in Iligan City. All excitement for the upcoming events in the College melted [...]
For someone who lives in a city that officially has one shopping mall, but in actuality has only less than a quarter of a mall, Manila shopping malls are must-see places. Yet if someone were to strip away those malls’ fancy building designs, air conditioning, security guards, and cleaning staff; what would be left would [...]
Considering that the military is in hot pursuit of the murdering Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) terrorists, and that several tanks and troops are stationed in Iligan, that Bravo terrorist would find it hard to even dare attack the city. Here are some snapshots of our defenders. Here’s a tank and some soldiers I saw [...]
