Installation of WIFI at Barangay South
Poblacion
“At my own personal expense, a Wi-Fi facility
will be installed at South Barangay hall," said chairman Leda P Aler. With
such a popular technology allowing an exchange of data or connection to the
internet wirelessly, many gadgets could use Wi-Fi such as personal computers, smartphones and tablets, certain digital
cameras and digital audio players. "Gusto po naming kahit paminsan-minsan
ay makipagbalitaan sa inyong lahat diyan sa abroad at gayon din po sa ating mga
kababayang nandirito sa ibat't ibang lugar ng Pilipinas. The world we live in has
changed a lot and bilang mga public officials, we can conveniently relay to
everyone our activities and let him/her be our judges in everything we say and
do .

JP Federation President of Barangay
Captains, Sta Elena barangay chief in court battle
DRAMATICALLY winning by a margin of only
three votes for the chairmanship of barangay Santa Elena in the poll contest
last October and getting elected as the JP 2013 Federation President of
Barangay Captains Association, Grace Villablanca is in court fighting against her
unidentified second placer opponent. A vote recount was filed at JP regional
trial court to date. As to when Villablanca could resume functioning for the
two public jobs remains a big question. Abangan po natin ang tunay na nanalo.
Villablanca is a veteran politician said to be under the wings of Governor Edgardo
Tallado.

Barangay Chairman Espinosa of Pag-Asa,
(the place was known in the 60s as Bunog) was recently replaced by his an unidentified
election opponent after the "official votes recount" result has been
made public. Espinosa won by a winning margin of three votes, but after recount
order by court was carried out, his opponent beat him by one vote.
The thriving Market Day tsange near the
marketplace in Mambulao … this weekly affair will be relocated to Sta Rosa
Norte soon.- MWBuzzpic by A P HERNANDEZ
Market Day (tsange) site now history
LESS than a week ago, Mayor Ricarte ‘Dong’
Padilla called a meeting with the key officials, representatives of the JP
Market Vendors Association (agricultural produce in particular), barangay
captains Leday P Aler (South Poblacion) and Ferdi Delos Santos (Santa Rosa
Norte) and other concerned citizens/officials of the town to discuss the
relocation of Market Day site from its current place west side of the main marketplace
and that of edge-curve of the seaside public park.. The new home of "tsange"
will now be at Barangay Santa Rosa Norte next to the barangay hall. The relocation will take effect on January 24 for the Market Day on Sunday, January 26. The mayor's
directives and instructions were met with lots of unfavorable comments from
wholesale traders and produce suppliers, who said the actual market base has
been taken away from them for reason of access and proximity to buying public.
But for those who have permanent retail stalls inside the market, such relocation
order has been a welcome development. "Hindi po kami makasulong sa presyo
ng mga gulay at iba pang paninda dahil mga wholesale prices po sila, ngayon
kung malayo po sila, kahit papaano iyong mga mamimili kahit kunti ay puwede po naming
patungan kahit konting tubo," said one long time retailer. Apparently, the
reason why such move was made was because the new transportation terminal is ready
for construction and more space are needed for all materials required as well
as its logistics. MWBUZZ was informed
too that barangay Larap was tried and tested to be a 'tsange’ some years back
but such experiment was abandoned due to lack of market goers.
