Vote for Nixon Baban

Nixon Baban who is currently the chairman of Bangon Kagayan is running for the City Council in District 2.  Bangon Kagayan was responsible for raising the issue of illegal mining in Cagayan de Oro which resulted to the arrest of illegal miners in Iponan and illegal Chinese miners.  Mao na karon kung inyo tanawon ang Iponan River, tinaw na ang tubig.  There are still illegal miners operating in CDO and Misamis Oriental.  Let us work together to save our environment not only for our future but for the next generation.

Remembering Martial Law 1972

On September 21, 1972, former President Ferdinand Marcos signed Proclamation No. 1081 placing the entire Philippine archipelago under the state of Martial Law.  Immediately upon its proclamation, all media outlets (tv, radio, newspapers) were closed, anyone who were against President Marcos were arrested including politicians and journalists.  For the next 14 years, Filipinos suffered economic hardships, oppression and no guaranteed freedom.

Today as we celebrate another year of this momentous event, we should never forget the hardships and suffering our heroes have gone through to achieve our freedom from Marcos dictatorship.  It is quite sad that we again elected another Marcos (Senator Ferdinand "Bong Bong" Marcos Jr.) in the Senate.  It seems we have already forgotten how their family drove our country to what it is today, a sick man of Asia.
