Morong Town Hall on Fire

From Philippine Daily Inquirer

MORONG, Rizal, Philippines—The municipal hall of Morong is on fire and employees and residents doing business there have been asked to vacate the premises, Concha De Jesus, secretary of the vice mayor, told INQUIRER.net.
She said it appears that no one has been injured or killed, as fire fighters are already trying to put out the fire.
De Jesus said the fire seemed to have started from an air-conditioning unit at the office of the vice mayor on the second floor.

SGA's Operation Helping Hand

Subject: SGAs OPERATION HELPING HAND

Mga kababayan:

San Guillermo Association in Southern California is a non-profit organization strongly committed in helping the less fortunate. We are asking for your voluntary pledges/donations to help our kababayans that were severely affected by tropical typhoon, Ondoy.

I received several calls from Mrs. Lita Buenaventura, who is supposedly vacationing in P.I., but instead, together with the Barangay Captain, she is actively assessing the damages caused by Ondoy and devoting her time in helping our kababayans. She related to me that our folks badly needed basic necessities. The flood almost reach the national road of San Guillermo. People residing in Tabing-Ilog and in Tambongco have lost everything that they have worked for in decades and most of all... four members of a family died because of Ondoy. While we are on our cellular phones, both of us became emotional and we burst into tears because we're both devastated by what had happened to our kababayans. Can we do something to help them? Can we give them hope and inspiration and encourage them that there is light at the very end of the tunnel? Shall we?

The need is so great...the stake is so high...images of human sufferings caused by Ondoy are extremely difficult to watch... so please join us and help us disseminate this effort.

Please send your badly needed pledges/donations to addresses mentioned below and rest assured that every single penny of your hard-earned contributions will reach those kababayans of ours that are severely affected by Ondoy.

Storm Watch: Rizal in Distress

50 Families evacuated in Morong

In Rizal province, local rescue workers scampered to respond to distress calls in various towns with reports of simultaneous landslides, rising flood waters and electrical dangers.

In Antipolo City, a certain Aubreline reportedly died after she fell into an overflowing creek yesterday morning, Supt. Dioscoro Maata, chief of police said.

Reports from the monitoring center of the Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council (PDCC) based at the Ynares Center Compound showed that several towns in the province were flooded prompting affected residents to immediately leave their homes and transfer to designated evacuation centers in their respective barangays.

Strong winds and heavy rains continued without interruption starting at around 8 a.m.

Personnel of the PDCC said thousands fled their homes in Tanay town, including residents whose houses were situated in riverside and mountainside areas.

Landslides in Sampaloc in Tanay, and Phase 3 of Barangay San Luis in Antipolo City were also reported to the PDCC around 11:30 a.m.

Floodwaters reaching up to waist deep at the town proper in Tanay made some of the streets almost not passable to small types of vehicles.

In San Mateo, some 40 families whose houses are located along the riverbank on North and South Libis of Barangay Banaba volunteered to leave their homes as their houses were submerged in raging floodwater.

More than 150 families have also been evacuated in Jala-Jala town; 50 families in Morong; and some 300 families in other parts of San Mateo and more than 50 families were relocated in Kalayan, in Angono and hundreds of families in Cardona town as of 8:30 a.m. yesterday.

Hundreds were stranded along the flood-prone portions of Ortigas Avenue in Cainta and Taytay towns as jeepneys could not pass through the flooded highway.

Some tricycle drivers in the city proper of Antipolo also reportedly refused to convey commuters to their destinations as most streets were submerged in rising floodwaters during the height of the heavy rains from morning until late afternoon.

PDCC personnel said the number of affected families were expected to increase by hundreds if the rains and strong winds did not stop.

Philippine Flag: The missing ray of Morong

Letter sent to Philippine Daily Inquirer by retired Col. Francisco T San Miguel:

September 24, 2009

Dear Editor,

This has reference to the article of Michael Lim Ubac which was published in the
September 24 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

I would like to point out that the article omitted Morong (now Rizal) in the list of the provinces
represented by the eight rays of the sun in the Philippine flag.

Dr. Luis Camara Dery wrote in 1999 that the following statement appeared in a document
which was written in Tagalog by Aguinaldo himself:

"At tapusa'y ay ang walong rayos na nataglay ng araw na sumisikat ay ang walong provincias Manila, Bulacan, Pampanga, Morong, Laguna, Batangas, Nueva Ecija at Cavite na dineklara ng Gobierno Kastila en estado de guerra." (sic)

On the main subject, the present proposal to add a 9th ray to the sun in the Philippine flag has drawn many protests in the internet. This proposal was discussed publicly and thoroughtly many times before. It reached the Senate in 1987, proposed by Senator Aquilino Pimentel, It was not approved.

Truly yours,

FRANCISCO T. SAN MIGUEL
(Born in Morong, Rizal)
Quezon City, Philippines
Email: <ftsm51@yahoo.com>

Panel approved 9th ray to Philippine flag, Morong omitted

There were elation from Muslim communities and its representatives when bicameral panel approved the inclusion of the 9th ray to Philippine flag. The author of the bill, Senator Richard Gordon released a statement saying that the proposed law would foster greater unity among Filipinos regardless of religion. Its worth noting that Sen Gordon is running for president and is badly trailing in national surveys.

Reports released by the panel and reported by the media omitted Morong as one of the provinces that revolted against the Spanish government.

Perhaps the committee and Richard Gordon should check the history of the the flag before sponsoring the bill.
