Mambulaoans WorldWide Buzz

Sign of progress … One day, when this baranggay road is done for good and has finally linked the farm to the poblacion, it surely would attract a lot of things that could spur development in the area, thus help boost the economic status of the rural folks. Indeed, a good sign that Mambulaoans could expect something for the greater good of the many. – Facebookpicgrab

Sign of distress … It has been a long time since those big fishing boats called “basnigs” had avoided making daily call at the beach in Baranggay Parang to unload their bountiful catch. They now prefer to unload at Mercedes fish port. The main reason is that the basing operators feared the fish could get sick itself after getting contaminated by disease-causing microbes thriving among the rubbish strewn all over the seashore. Presumably, the rubbish that has piled up to stir up a nightmare for those who walked its muddy sand for the first time, unaware of the “land mines” along the path, is now more than two years old. Funny, the administration of Ricarte Padilla, mayor of Jose Panganiban, came in two years ago. He and the rubbish saw each other for the first time – once, during the last campaign  - and both quickly decided to forget one another after that – but the saga of Parang beach pollution gets intriguingly interesting as it goes on. The picture of the beach was taken last January. – Text by ALFREDO P HERNANDEZ/MWBuzzpic by ARNEL P HERNANDEZ
