Physical

Terrain.

Bulacan lies in the southern portion of the fertile plains of Central Luzon. The area is drained by the Angat and Pampanga rivers. The Sierra Madre mountain range forms the highlands of Bulacan in the east. Angat Lake, which was formed by the Angat Dam is located in that area. The highest point in the province at 1170 meters is Mount Oriol, part of the Sierra Madre.
Climate. November to April is generally dry while wet for the rest of the year. The northeast monsoon (amihan) prevails from October to January bringing in moderated and light rains. From February to April, the east trade winds predominate but the Sierra Madre (Philippines) mountain range to the east disrupts the winds resulting to a dry period. From May to September, the southwest monsoon (habagat) prevails and the period is characterized by numerous storms and typhoons.

The hottest month is May having an average temperature of 29.7°C while the coldest is February with an average temperature of 18.1°C.

History

The history of the province from the Spanish occupation has been replete with events worthy of recollection. As early as the time of the coming of Legaspi to conquer Manila with two of his subordinate officers, Martin de Goiti and Juan Salcedo, the Bulakeños through their seafaring brothers from Hagonoy showed their instinctive love of country by helping Raja Soliman, King of Manila, fight the Battle of the Bangkusay Channel.

The history began when a small settlement of fishermen lived along the coast of Manila Bay before the coming of the Spaniards. Later on, these settlers became farmers after moving inwards as they discovered that the land in the interior part was fertile and very much drained by the network of rivers and streams. These settlers grew and flourished into large and prosperous settlement now known as the province of Bulacan.

It is believed that flowers bloomed in the region when the Spaniards came. Because of these sprawling green orchards, vegetables and profusely flowering plants, as well as beautiful women, this lovely land had come to be called Bulacan as sort of shortened term for "bulak-lakan" and/or a derivative of the word "bulak" (kapok) which abound in the province even before the Spaniards came.

The signing of the Pact of Biak-na-Bato in 1897 was a brilliant chapter in the history of Bulacan. However, the crowning glory among the series of historical events in the province was the establishment of the Capital of the First Philippine Republic in Malolos. The Malolos Church and the Barasoain Church will be both remembered as the executive headquarters of President Aguinaldo and as the Legislative, from September 10, 1898 to March 29, 1899.It was also in Malolos that the famous and historical document, the Malolos Constitution, was drafted and ratified.

Bulacan is also the cradle of noble heroes, of great men and women. The early people of Bulacan, being descendants of a freedom-loving race, had also risen in revolt like their brothers in other parts of the country. Bulacan was one of the eight provinces, which rallied behind the Katipunan's call for an all-out insurrection against the Spanish tyranny in the late 19t h century. It produced the del Pilars, Balagtas, Tecson, Valenzuela, Torres, Estrella, Ponce, Sandico, Panganiban and many others. The Bulakeños take fierce pride in their history and tradition and they live by these glories. By these glories, they are quick to display leadership and seek fullest commitment to national goals.

Flooded areas in Bulacan are:

Hagonoy
Paombong

With regards to some other areas in Bulacan, flood usually don't reach waist-deep. Sometimes, places like Sta. Maria (where I live) experience flooding (below-the-knee-deep) because of poor drainage system and perhaps due to the intensity of rain. I've never heard of Guiguinto experiencing the same problem though. :)

Thanks sir up_mc! That was a breath of fresh air! Now something more sensitive, if it's ok with you. What about the security issues/crime rates in Guiguinto? Malolos, being the capital city is quite promising for investors or dreamhouse-seeking individuals from Manila because of the level of modernism (comparative to other municipalities in Bulacan). I learned from a fellow (from the military force) though, that crime is on a higher side, giving would-be investors/tenants second thoughts.

I guess crime rate is quite the same throughout the country (well except for Batanes, I guess). But i bet, Bulacan, in general, is still a safer place compared to Metro Manila. Guiguinto, is adjacent to Malolos so I guess the location itself guarantees a certain amount of security (Provincial Office of PNP is located in the capital city of the province), aside from the fact that Guiguinto has its own local Police Department.

By the way, drop the "sir", up_mc will do. :)

Largest ensaymada unwrapped in Malolos
By CZARINA NICOLE O. ONG
September 9, 2009, 7:00pm

The yearly celebration of “Singkaban Fiesta,” held from Sept. 8 to 15, might have kicked off to a rainy start, but even that didn’t dampen the spirit of the festivities.

One of the highlights for the Sept. 9 celebration was the Fiesta Ensaymada (a Spanish pastry). Touted as the country’s largest ensaymada, over 30 Bulakeños started preparing the enormous pastry at 11 pm last Tuesday, Sept. 8.

“The largest ensaymada idea is the brainchild of Bulacan Gov. Jonjon R. Mendoza. Following last year’s longest pastillas, we decided to prepare another pastry which Bulacan is known for – the ensaymada,” shares Obet Saguinsin, Department Head of the Provincial Cooperative and Enterprise Development Project.

The ensaymada, which was on display at the Capitol Gymnasium in Malolos, is 40 feet in diameter, comsisting of 15,254 individual ensaymadas from seven different bake shops in Bulacan -- Barasoain Bake Shop, Eurobake, Enlin’s Bakeshop, Fernando’s Bakery, Heaven’s Delight, Mavi’s Bakeshop, and Pandelites Bakeshop Inc.

“Excited talaga ako sa Singkaban sion of classes in both elementary and high school levels in five villages, which included Dampalit, Niugan, Catmon, Tinajeros and Maysilo. The heavy rains flooded parts of Malabon.

Fiesta,” Mendoza said. And seeing the huge pastry on television made him remark the strength and resiliency of Bulakeños. “Tunay na mapagyayabang ito ng mga Bulakeño.”

For the dough alone, 5,500 eggs were used, along with 300 kilos of milk, 60 kilos of yeast, and 600 kilos of flour. For the toppings on the ensaymada, the seven bake shops made use of 5,400 grams of butter and sugar, plus 20 kilos of cheese.

The whole endeavor was said to have cost about P350,000, Saguinsin said.

This year’s fiesta theme is “Kahapon, Ngayon at Bukas, Husay ng Bulakenyo’y Walang Kupas.”(Yesterday, today and tomorrow: TheBulakeno’s talent does not fade).

The week-long celebration willso include a Wedding Fashion Show, Alay Lakad, Kapit-Kapit sa Pistang Inipit, SOS Biak Na Bato Concert, Lechon Festival, La Bulaqueña: The Pageant, Kenyo Run Again, Gawad Galing Kawani, Pistang Bulacan, Fireworks Exhibition, and more.

Bulacan mayor unseated (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=504107&publicationSubCategoryId=67)

MALOLOS CITY , Philippines – Tension gripped the City of San Jose del Monte in Bulacan yesterday as the Commission on Elections (Comelec) declared a losing mayoral candidate the winner in the 2007 polls.

This came 15 days after Vice Mayor Rey San Pedro assumed the mayoral post due to the death of Mayor Eduardo Roquero on Aug. 24.

Former presidential adviser on agricultural modernization Angelito Sarmiento is now challenging San Pedro’s hold on the mayorship.

In a telephone interview, Sarmiento told The STAR that the Comelec issued a resolution on Tuesday nullifying Roquero’s proclamation and declaring him winner in the 2007 mayoral race.

After receiving a copy of the Comelec decision, Sarmiento said he took his oath of office before Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile in preparation for his assumption into office Wednesday.

However, as early as Tuesday night, dump trucks of the city government had blocked entrances to City Hall.

Danilo Armildez, a staffer of Sarmiento, said they had no idea as to who ordered the barricade.

But Sarmiento said yesterday that San Pedro appeared not ready to yield the position.

The STAR repeatedly tried to contact San Pedro, but one of his staffers said he was in a meeting.

A former city councilor, San Pedro was Sarmiento’s running mate under the Lakas banner in the 2007 elections.

A three-term congressman of the fourth district of Bulacan, Sarmiento authored the conversion of San Jose del Monte into a city in 2000.

though i believe mr san pedro is such a power-hungry person, i still hope we refrain from using bad words in this forum. thank you!

Ousted Bulacan mayor refuses to vacate post (http://www.mb.com.ph/node/220157/ou)

MALOLOS CITY, Bulacan — San Jose del Monte City's Reynaldo San Pedro has vowed not to vacate his post after the Commission on Elections (Comelec) last Tuesday said that former mayor Lito Sarmiento was the duly elected mayor of the city in the 2007 elections.

San Pedro, who was elected vice mayor in the 2007 elections, assumed the mayoral post when Sarmiento’s opponent, Mayor Eduardo Roquero, passed away recently.

To prevent Sarmiento from assuming his post, supporters of San Pedro have barricaded the city hall grounds with trucks and heavy equipment.

This prompted the Bulacan police to deploy policemen from the 306th Provincial Mobile Group to avert violent confrontation between supporters of San Pedro and Sarmiento. Senior Superintendent Diosdado Ramos, acting Bulacan police director, said he has designated Supt. Manuel M. Lukban Jr. as the ground commander in the area to ensure the peaceful implementation of a Comelec order declaring Sarmiento as the duly-elected mayor of the city.

Zoilo Perlas, Bulacan provincial election supervisor, said the Comelec en banc released a decision on Tuesday, ordering San Pedro to cease and desist from occupying the mayoral post as this position should now be occupied by Sarmiento because he is the officially recognized mayor of San Jose del Monte.

Sarmiento, who was at the Bulacan Provincial Capitol Friday to talk to Gov. Joselito Jon-Jon” Mendoza, said he was already sworn in as the duly elected mayor of San Jose del Monte City by Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile.

Earlier, he filed an election protest against Roquero, alleging irregularities. And last Tuesday, the Comelec en banc declared him winner in the 2007 elections.

In justifying his refusal to vacate the mayoral post, San Pedro said a “domino effect” in the succession of elected officials would ensue if he vacates his office. He added that the DILG should first release an order for him and all the rest of the city officials to step down from their present positions.

“Ano ba ako, barangay tanod? Wala na akong pupuntahan kasi hindi naman ako inorderan na i-vacate ang position na dapat kong balikan, ang aking vice mayor position,” he said. <-- GAGO PALA TO EH!!!

But Sarmiento said there is no need for a DILG order because the ruling of the Comelec en banc is more than enough for a peaceful transition within the mayoral post.

Ousted Bulacan mayor refuses to vacate post (http://www.mb.com.ph/node/220157/ou)

MALOLOS CITY, Bulacan — San Jose del Monte City's Reynaldo San Pedro has vowed not to vacate his post after the Commission on Elections (Comelec) last Tuesday said that former mayor Lito Sarmiento was the duly elected mayor of the city in the 2007 elections.

San Pedro, who was elected vice mayor in the 2007 elections, assumed the mayoral post when Sarmiento’s opponent, Mayor Eduardo Roquero, passed away recently.

To prevent Sarmiento from assuming his post, supporters of San Pedro have barricaded the city hall grounds with trucks and heavy equipment.

This prompted the Bulacan police to deploy policemen from the 306th Provincial Mobile Group to avert violent confrontation between supporters of San Pedro and Sarmiento. Senior Superintendent Diosdado Ramos, acting Bulacan police director, said he has designated Supt. Manuel M. Lukban Jr. as the ground commander in the area to ensure the peaceful implementation of a Comelec order declaring Sarmiento as the duly-elected mayor of the city.

Zoilo Perlas, Bulacan provincial election supervisor, said the Comelec en banc released a decision on Tuesday, ordering San Pedro to cease and desist from occupying the mayoral post as this position should now be occupied by Sarmiento because he is the officially recognized mayor of San Jose del Monte.

Sarmiento, who was at the Bulacan Provincial Capitol Friday to talk to Gov. Joselito Jon-Jon” Mendoza, said he was already sworn in as the duly elected mayor of San Jose del Monte City by Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile.

Earlier, he filed an election protest against Roquero, alleging irregularities. And last Tuesday, the Comelec en banc declared him winner in the 2007 elections.

In justifying his refusal to vacate the mayoral post, San Pedro said a “domino effect” in the succession of elected officials would ensue if he vacates his office. He added that the DILG should first release an order for him and all the rest of the city officials to step down from their present positions.

“Ano ba ako, barangay tanod? Wala na akong pupuntahan kasi hindi naman ako inorderan na i-vacate ang position na dapat kong balikan, ang aking vice mayor position,” he said. <-- GAGO PALA TO EH!!!

But Sarmiento said there is no need for a DILG order because the ruling of the Comelec en banc is more than enough for a peaceful transition within the mayoral post.

Meanwhile, Sarmiento said he prevented his supporters from staging rallies because the situation is not a contest anymore but the implementation of law.

JUAN PONCE ENRILE NA SYA NA ULIT ANG MAYOR NG SAN JOSE DEL MONTE...

Sarmiento sits as new SJDM mayor – Puno
By: Emil G. Gamos
MALOLOS City--Tension subsided at the San Jose del Monte City hall after Interior and Local Government Secretary Ronaldo Puno said Friday that Angelito Sarmiento will sit on Monday as the duly elected mayor of the city as directed by the “en banc” order of the Commission on Elections.

Puno, who was the guest of honor at the Gawad Galing Barangay 2009 awards at the Capitol Gym, said the Comelec order is very clear and that the designated Mayor Vice Mayor Reynaldo San Pedro should “cease and desist” from discharging the powers and duties of the Office of the City Mayor and relinquish the post to Sarmiento.

Sarmiento took his oath of office before Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile last Tuesday after the order was released by the Comelec.

He filed an election protest against the late Mayor Eduardo Roquero and on Tuesday the Comelec en banc declared him as the winner in the 2007 elections.

The en banc order states that “there being no more real party in interest in whose name can this case be further pursued, the Comelec en banc hereby dismisses the motion for reconsideration filed by the late Mayor Roquero.”

San Pedro, however said, he cannot just leave his newly assumed position because he had already taken his oath as the new mayor, being the second highest elected official in the city after Roquero died.

Since Wednesday, supporters of San Pedro have barricaded the city hall with trucks and heavy equipment to prevent Sarmiento and his supporters from entering the building and the mayor’s office.

Troops from the 306th Police Provincial Mobile Group were deployed at the SJDM city hall to ease the tension.

Puno said local DILG officials will assist the Comelec officials in implementing the order on Monday.

“If San Pedro will continue to perform the function of the mayor’s office, he would be charged for usurpation of authority,” Puno said.

He also clarified that there is no need for a DILG order since the Comelec order was very specific.

“Balik na sa dating status. Balik na sa pagka-vice mayor si San Pedro at balik na uli sa dati ang mga miyembro ng city council,” he said.

Sarmiento said the first thing that he will do is to make an inventory of all the city’s assets and properties.

TAPOS NA PAGMAMATIGAS MO REYNALDO SAN PEDRO, BWAAHAHAHA

Ex-Rep. Sarmiento, pinaboran ng SC bilang mayor ng San Jose del Monte, Bulacan
9/18/2009 7:02:36 PM

Kinatigan ngayon ng Supreme Court (SC) ang naunang idineklara ng Commission on Elections (Comelec) na si dating Rep. Angelito Sarmiento ang dapat maluklok sa puwesto bilang alkalde ng San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.

Inilabas ngayon lamang ng Supreme Court ang desisyon dahil sa umiinit na tensyon sa munisipyo ng bayan.

Nagmamatigas kasi si Vice Mayor Rey San Pedro na lisanin ang puwesto at iginigiit na hinihintay nito ang kautusan mula sa DILG.

Si San Pedro ang sumalo sa puwesto ng mamatay si Mayor Ed Roquero pero idineklara naman ng Comelec na panalo si Sarmiento sa inihain nitong election protest.

Gayunman, mariin itong itinanggi ni Sarmiento at ipinakita pa ang kopya ng dokumento mula sa tanggapan ng DILG Undersecretary for Local Government.

Inabot na ngayon ng 10 araw ang pagkakampo ng mga taga-suporta ni San Pedro sa harapan ng munisipiyo at inihambalang ang mga truck na flat ang gulong para hindi makapasok ang kampo ni Sarmiento.

Dahil dito, apektado na ang transaksyon at naiipit din ang mga empleyado ng municipal government sa bangayan ng mga pulitiko.

And kung akala ninyo na tapos na ang lahat as of this writing -- the sad part is HINDI PA RIN. Barikadado pa rin ng mga trak na flat ang gulong at mga suporter (na puro EVR ang tatak ng T-shirt, bakit ba hindi RSS? Hawak na nga talaga ng EVR/Kampi camp si RSS) ang City Hall, at sabi ng isang tindera sa tabi ng munisipyo na pinagbilhan ng tita ko ng isda kani-kanina lang meron daw silang kinuyog na tinawag nilang Sarmiento boy kaninang madaling araw...

Talagang nagmamatigas pa rin hanggang sa kasalukuyan si Rey San Pedro. Next alibi naman nya hihingin naman nya ang black-&-white copy ng SC resolution...

Gov. Jonjon Mendoza should already step in. He said yesterday sa TV na kung hindi pa rin aalis si RSS at babalik sa pagiging bise alkalde he will neccesitate the use of force, that is, physically evicting him and the EVR supporters from City Hall...

Wala na rin ang mga suporters (EVR and RSSP) dun. Ang tanging nandun na lang ay mga military & police personnel na nagbabantay sa katahimikan ng City Hall.

Ayon sa napagtanungan namin ng tita ko, ngayong araw na to (or kaninang umaga) na tuluyang mag-aasume si AMS bilang meyor, eeskortan ng 700 pulis/militar at mga kakampi nitong konsehales (Baluyut, TSP, Francisco et al) at tagasuporta. Kaya nauna nang naglagay ng mg atauhan ng pulis at milatar sa City Hall ay upang i-ensure ang tinatawag na seamless transition of power. Ewan ko kung naganap iyon, kasi nilisan ko na kagabi ang place ng tita ko eh.

Pero as usual me mga huling hirit pa rin ang kampo ni RSS bago nila "linisin" ang City Hall...tulad na lang ng mga ito

Cancer survivor, Bulacan's "Dangal ng Lipi" awardee (http://positivenewsmedia.net/am2/publish/Inspirational_25/Cancer_survivor_Bulacan_s_Dangal_ng_Lipi_awardee.shtml)

MALOLOS CITY, Bulacan, Sept. 16 (PNA) -- They simply call her as “Gaita.” Her remarkable feat has made her a world class signature caterer.

“Gaita” is Margarita A. Fores, a world class restaurateur, food enthusiast and a cancer survivor. She is also a true blooded Bulakenya.

In her own “little way” and sheer culinary skills, Fores has brought the Philippine cuisine and native culinary industry to the global scene.

Her management style has elevated restaurant operations to a world class level. Fores now manages and operates the classy restaurants like Cibo, Café Bola and the Cibo Di M Signature Caterer.

For the past 20 years, she has set the trend in catering service that she is often invited to handle catering big events like gatherings in Malacanang.

Because her catering services has become in demand, she has brought jobs and opportunities to some 700 Bulakenyos.

A cancer victim, she now helps other cancer patients, especially those inflicted with thyroid cancer.

In cooperation with other Filipino chefs, she has also came up with the Philippine Cuisine Cookbook during the “Kulinarya Project” in 2006-2007.

Fores is among the great men and women of Bulacan who were honored as this year's “Dangal ng Lipi”(entrepreneur of the year}.

The provincial government recognized Fores’ contributions in promoting the skills, talents and character of the Bulakenyo race.
This year’s other “Dangal ng Lipi” awardees are Ma. Lourdes C. Fernando (Public Service); Joselito “Joey” Cruz (trade and industry); Rev. Jose C. Ladra (community service); Evelio G. Echavez (professional); Rufina “Ate Pining” R. Santiago (arts and culture”; Atty. Jacinto S. Jose, Jr. (cooperatives); Nathaniel A. Cruz (science and technology); Honorato R.

Noong September 16, 2009, ay may inalabas na palang bagong order ang comelec en banc order no. 2007-53, na kung saan isinasaad dito ang mga sumusunod: "Acting on the Extremely Urgent Motion to Intervene With Leave of the Commission Wtih Prayer to Suspend Implementation of Order of September 8, 2009 filed by intervenor Mayor Reynaldo S. San Pedro,through Counsel, on September 14, 2009, xxx Motion for leave to invtervene be GRANTED forthwith and the intervenor be allowed to file his Petition for intervention with reasonable period as the Honorable Commission may direct and further xxx the implementation of the said of september 8, 2009 be SUSPENDED or DEFERED pending the resolution of petitioners intervention so that he may be given his day in court as a real party in interestxxx the Commission En Banc hereby DIRECTS protestant Angelito M. Sarmiento to file his comment thereon within a period of five (5) days from receipt hereof, after the lapse of the given perio, with or without the comment, the said petition for intervention shall be deemed submitted for resolution"

ano po ang ibig sabihin nito, nanatiling protestant po si Angelito M. Sarmiento at hindi sinasabing siya ang uupong Mayor!

marami po ang mga uri ng propagandang pinalalabas ang kampo ni AMS, gamit salapi, implwensya, at sasabi nating pati ang paggamit ng dahas ay uumiiral na.

bakit noong september 19 ,2009, ay nag padala si AMS ng maraming kapulisan mula sa ibat ibang bayan ng Region III, mahigit kumulang sa 500 kapulisan ang nag paalis sa mga San Joseñong matahimik na ka assembleya, sa oras na madaling araw?

mag kaganunpaman, ay hindi nila napaalis si Mayor Reynaldo S. San Pedro, kung legal ang kanilang ginagawa. sapagkat alam na nila ang order ng comelec en banc na dated september 16, 2009, samantala ang kampo ni RSP ay noon lamang September 22, 2009 natanggap ito, maliwanag pa sa sikat ng araw na sila ay gumagawa ng mga mapanlinlang na gawain.

59 barangay ang nasasakupan ng CSJDM, 56 Brgy. Chairman ang nagmanepesto na walang anumang dayaan ang nangyari noong 2007 election, mahigit kumulang sa 500 brgy kagawad naman manepesto rin ng tulad nitong pagpapatunay, maging ang mga guro ay nag manepesto rin na walang dayaang nangyari, paano nga ito nangyari samantalang si AMS ang nakaupong Mayor noong 2004-2007, kahibangang masasabi na tulad niyang may mataas na pinag-aralan ay hindimaintindihan at ibinabaling sa iba kanyang "KAHIBANGAN", sundan ang susunod na kabanata . . . .

Hindi na lingid sa ating lahat ang mga kaganapan sa ating lungsod, subalit tayo’y sinadyang linlangin ng isang mapag-panggap na nagmamahal daw sa ating lungsod. Gumagamit ng impluwensya, salapi at dahas ang natalong AMS sa nakaraang halalan 2007, upang agawin ng sapilitan ang pwesto ng ating Mayor.
Hindi na nakapaghintay ang GAHAMAN, habang nagluluksa noong Agosto 24-Sept. 2, 2009 ang sambayanang San Joseño sa yamaong Mayor Eduardo V. Roquero, M.D. Pinakilos ni AMS ang salapi upang ang comelec en banc ay mabilis na ipalabas ang “Order”, sa protesta nito laban kay EVR subalit ito’y nakabatay hindi sa merito ng protesta kundi sa manepesto lamang ng kapanalig na mga konsehal, na di umano’y wala ng interesado dahil namatay na si Mayor EVR, na “Rail Road” nga talaga ang protesta. Buhay pa po ang pamilya ng mga Roquero, gising pa ang sambayanang San Joseño na di makakapayag na yurakan ang sagradong boto noong nakaraang halalan, kahit nagdadalamhati ang pamilya ni Mayor EVR, ito’y naghain na ng interest sa naturang protesta, subalit tila bingi ang comelec.
Hindi mapapasinungalingan, sino nga ba ang nandaya? AMS lang ang may kakayanan gawin ito, dahil siya ang nakaupo noong taong 2004-2007 bilang Mayor, nailoklok natin siya dahil sa tiwalang siya ay maglilingkod ng tapat, subalit nalinlang tayo! “ano nga ba ang lihim ng Quadalupe?”
Hindi matanggap ng GAHAMANG AMS, na si Mayor Reynaldo San Pedro, legal na pinanumpa sa tungkulin bilang Mayor ng Lungsod ng San Jose Del Monte sa harap ng Gobernador Jon Jon Mendoza ng Bulakan, kasabay ang dekano Konsehal bilang Vice-Mayor Nolly D. Concepcion, batay sa itinadhana ng Local Government Code of 1991, Batas blg. 7961, “Rule of Succession”.
Hindi lang San Joseño ang nililanlang kundi buong mundo, heto na ang GAHAMAN, gamit ang impluwensya ng matataas na lingkod bayan daw?, sadyang AMS lang pinakinggan, maging sa ilang ma-impluwensyang Radio, Television o Print Media panig lamang ni AMS ang tanging nangingibabaw.
Hindi pa rin kuntento ang GAHAMAN, gamit ang dahas mahigit kumulang 500 kapulisan mula sa iba’t ibang bayan ng Region III, kahapon lamang September 19, 2009 araw ng sabado, sa dis oras ng madaling araw kinumkob ng kapulisan ang “PLAZA” sa ng City Hall ng Lungsod ng San Jose Del Monte, pinalayas ang mamamayang San Joseño na payapang naka assembleya, upang pababain si Mayor Reynaldo San Pedro, matapos ang ilang araw nilang pakikipag-diyalogo, simple lang ang ating hinihingi ang “WRIT OF EXECUTION”, malinaw na ang “order” ay hindi pa pinal, batay sa Comelec Rule 18 Sec. 13 finality of decision and resolution, na maaaring ma-execute ang nasabing “order” matapos ang 30 araw, simula sa araw ng ito ay inilabas. Bakit nga ba nagmamadali si AMS? Bakit at Bakit nga ba?

Hindi tayo papayag na madungisan ang ating Lungsod, kaya’t anuman ang kanilang naging pwersa nanatili ang ating mahal na Mayor Reynaldo San Pedro, at hindi matitinag hanggat kailangan buhay man ay ialay. Sapagkat nasa panig n’ya ang katotohanan, mga kababayan tayo ay magsama-sama, bantayan ang ating mahal na pamahalaang Lungsod, tanging tayo lang ang nakakaalam ng matuwid na katotohan, tayo lamang ang tanging magtatanggol sa katotohanan!

MAKISAMA HUWAG MATAKOT!

SADYANG MAPAGLINLANG ANG GAHAMAN!

TAYO’Y MAGKAPIT-BISIG!

TAYO’Y MAGSADYA SA MAHAL NATING PAMAHALAAN UPANG IPAKITA ANG SUPORTA SA KATOTOHANAN AT
SA ATING MAHAL NA MAYOR REYNALDO SAN PEDRO!

RULE OF LAW NOT RULE OF FORCE!

Wala pa akong nababalitaan na nasira ang Patag-Catmon bridge, dahil malayo kami dun at di ako ganung nagpupunta sa bahaging yon ng Sta. Maria. May nabalitaan akong tulay sa may Caypombo na nag-crack daw kaya di pwdeng dumaan ang mga truck pero di ko ito sure.

Napag-alaman ko ko na halos lahat ng bayan ng Bulacan ay binaha, at ang Pandi lang ang hindi. Dapat sa Pandi na lang kayo bumili ng lupa / lote for residences or doon na lang kayo magtayo ng pabrika, at sariwang sariwa ang hangin. Ang Sta Maria ay binabaha din.

:lol: eh kasi naman kaya hindi binaha ang Pandi kasi onti lang ang cemented dyan, kaya mabilis ang percolation ng rain water sa lupa. Ang Sta. Maria, gaya ng iba pang bayan, kaya binaha ay sa kadahilanang karamihan sa mga lupa ay sementado or may mga establishment na nakatakip sa lupa (dagdag pa ang poor drainage system) na nagiging kadahilanan kaya nagiging mabagal ang pagsipsip ng lupa sa tubig ulan. :lol:

LP, Partido del Pilar alliance formed (http://www.journal.com.ph/index.php?issue=2009-11-25&sec=4&aid=107944)
By: Emil G. Gamos

MALOLOS City -- The Noynoy Aquino-Mar Roxas tandem got another boost after prominent political leaders in Bulacan belonging to Partido Del Pilar forged an alliance with the Liberal Party last Monday.

Senatorial aspirant Rizza Hontiveros-Baraquel also came for the general assembly and oath taking. They were welcomed by Gov. Joselito “Jonjon” Mendoza, PDP chairman and former Gov. Josefina “Josie” dela Cruz, the local party president.

The PDP is an offspring of the merger of the ruling Lakas-Kampi which displaced many of its members in Bulacan.

“Napakalaking karangalan ng pagsasanib ng aming partido sa Partido del Pilar. Hindi namin ito makakalimutan. Hindi namin bibiguin ang sagradong misyon na maglingkod ng matuwid at malinis,” Roxas told the crowd after the MoA signing.

“Nagagalak kami na kami ang piniling kasangga ng Partido del Pilar. Ito ay isang mahalagang yugto sa ating kasaysayan, ” said Aquino.

Family advocate Linabelle ‘LV’ Villarica, PDP’s congressional bet in the province’s fourth district, said the party is a rising political force in Bulacan because of its advocacy for patriotism.

“Ang partidong ito ay nabuo na taglay ang malaya at taimtim na paglilingkod sa bayan ng ating mga bayaning sina Marcelo H. Del Pilar at Hen. Gregorio del Pilar,” Villarica said.

The other officers party are lawyer Henry Villarica, treasurer and board member Glen Santos, secretary general.

A merger between the Aquino-Roxas tandem and Bulacan leaders? Things are looking good! If the said tandem wins the upcoming national elections, for sure di makakalimutan ang further deveopment ng Bulacan. Hindi mabibitin ang Northrail Project! :banana: :cheers:

Actually kahit sino naman manalo (DLC or Free Willy) tuloy pa rin ang Northrail.

And I think Bulakenyos should think 12 years is enough of this rule. As this write-up would say:

Gob. Jonjon kakandidatong kongresista? (http://punto.com.ph/News/Article/6185/Volume-3-No-150/Opinion/Gob-Jonjon-kakandidatong-kongresista)
By Dino Balabo

Nov 27, 2009

Palaisipan pa rin hanggang sa kasalukuyan kung kakandidatong kongresista ng ikatlong distrito si Gob. Joselito Mendoza, matapos itong ipahayag sa general assembly ng Partido Del Pilar noong Lunes ng gabi.

Ito ay dahil sa ayaw magbigay ni Mendoza ang tuwirang sagot ng siya ay tanungin ng matapos ang general assembly.

“Huwag na nating pag-usapan yan,” ani ng gobernador ng tanungin kaharap ang ilang mamamahayag sa lalawigan habang pailing-iling siyang lumalayo.

Halos isang oras bago tanungin si Mendoza ay ipinahayag sa entablado ni Bokal Glenn Santos, ang secretary general ng Partido Del Pilar na si Mendoza ang magiging kandidato bilang kongresista ng partido tlong distrito.

Ito ay matapos pakantiyaw na sigaw nina Bokal Enrique Viudez at Erning Sulit na “sabihin mo na kung sino ang kandidato sa district 3” mula sa ibaba ng entablado.

Sina Viudez at Sulit ay kapwa nakaupo sa unang hanay na upuan sa ibaba ng entablado

Nang ipahayag ni Santos ang pangalan ng gobernador bilang kandidato ng Partido del Pilar sa ikatlong distrito, nagpalakpakan ang mga dumalo, samantalang tumayo naman si Mendoza at kumaway sa mga tao bilang acknowledgement.

Ngunit hindi rito natatapos ang istorya dahil walang nabanggit sa kanilang talumpati si Mendoza at ang kanyang ate na si dating Gob. Josie Dela Cruz na ang kasalukuyang gobernador at kakandidatong kongresista.

Maging ang mga dumalong opisyal ng Liberal party katulad nina Senador Noynioy Aquino, Mar Roxas at dating Franklin Drilon ay walang nabanggit.

Matatandaan na walang ring binaggit si Mendoza na siya ay kakandidatong kongresista sa kanyang ulat sa lalawigan noong Nobyembre 9.

Tinanong din siya noon ng Mabuhay, ngunit ang sinabi lamang niya ay pinag-iisapan pa niya.

Ito ay taliwas sa kanyang mga unang pahayag, at sa kanyang mga aksyon kinabibilangan ng pagpapatayo niya ng bahay sa Brgy. Tartarro sa San Miguel at pagpapalipat ng kanyang voters registration sa nasabing bayan mula sa bayan ng Bocaue sa district 2.

Ayon naman sa mga tagamasid sa pulitika sa lalawigan, isang iistratehiya ang ginagawa nina Mendoza at dating Gob. Dela Cruz.

Ito diumano ay magiging panlaban ng magkapatid kay Bise Willy Alvarado na kakandidatong gobernador.

Ayon sa mga tagamasid sa pulitika, kapag itinuloy ni Alvarado ang pagkandidato at sumabay ang kanyang asawa na si Kint. Marivic Alvarado ng unang distrito, malamang hindi tumuloy si Mendoza.

Dahil dito, lulutang ang isyu ng political dynasty laban sa mga Alvarado, samantalang maganda ang magiging dating ng magkapatid na nagpalitan sa puwesto sa mga botante.

Sa isang banda, maganda ang plano ng magkapatid na Mendoza at Dela Cruz. Ngunit ito ay nakatuon lamang sa kanilang pagtatangka na patuloy na mahawakan ang kapanyarihan sa Bulacan.

Kung tunay na maganda ang layunin ng mga pulitiko sa Bulacan, bakit hindi pagyamanin ang kakayahan ng ibang pulitiko sa lalawigan upang hindi manatili sa iisang pamilya ang paghawak ng kapangyarihan sa pinakamataas na posisyon sa kapitolyo.

Bakit kailangang pang magbalik sa puwesto ni Dela Cruz? Mayroon ba siyang nakalimutang gawin sa loob ng siyam na taong panunungkulan?

Ilan nga bang pulitikong kaalyado nila sa Bulacan ang umangat mga posissyon mula sa pagiging alkalde sa loob ng nagdaang siyam na taon?

Hindi pa ba sapat ang pinagsamang 12 taon nilang panunungkulang bilang gobernador, upang magbigay daan sa mga bagong sibol sa pulitika sa Bulacan?

Ito ay isang pagtatanong lamang.

Alvarado leads Bulacan pols to Lakas (http://punto.com.ph/News/Article/6093/Volume-3-No-145/Headlines/Alvarado-leads-Bulacan-pols-to-Lakas)
By Dino Balabo

Nov 20, 2009

MALOLOS CITY—Bulacan Vice Governor Wilhelmino Alvarado led more than 60 local politicians in the province yesterday in taking their oath under the administration coalition party Lakas-Kampi-CMD.

The politicians represented candidates for mayor and vice mayor in 21 towns and three cities of the province and five congressional districts.

“We have a complete slate and ready to file our candidacies,” said Board Member Vicente Cruz of the first district.

Cruz described their slate as “powerhouse” noting that they have three incumbent congressional representatives like Marivic Alvarado (1st District), Pedro Pancho (2nd District) and Arthur Robes of the Lone District of San Jose Del Monte City.

He said that as provincial chair of the Lakas-Kampi-CMD in the province, incumbent Vice Governor Wilhelmino Alvarado will be the party’s standard bearer.

Alvarado will be pitted against former Governor Josie de la Cruz of Bocaue town who is staging a comeback under the Del Pilar Party, a local party organized in 2003.

Political observers here dubbed the looming battle between Alvarado and Dela Cruz as “battle of the champions” as both have never been defeated in any election.

As this developed, Alvarado is still looking for a running mate.

Cruz said that Alvarado has been consulting with other partymates on the possibilities of having Rep. Reylina Nicolas (4th District), actor and former Senior Board Member Daniel Fernando (2nd District), and former Bocaue Mayor Serafin Dela Cruz as his running mate.

A three term congresswoman, Nicolas also served as mayor of Sta. Maria town from 1992 to 2001.

She said that she wanted to take a rest from politics but remain open to the possibilities of running for vice governor.

For his part, Fernando said that he is being wooed by friends to run as Alvarado’s vice governor.
As an actor who first gained popularity from the movie “Scoprio Nights 1,” Fernando first ran as mayor of Guiguinto town in 1998 but lost. In 2001, he was elected board member of the 2nd District. In 2007, he ran against Alvarado and lost.

On the other hand, De la Cruz has served as mayor of Bocaue in different occasions.

He was the mayor of Bocaue during the 1991 Pagoda Tragedy and was reelected in 2004. In 2007 he lost to Mayor Eduardo Villanueva.

Ex-Gov. Dela Cruz in comeback bid in Bulacan (http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/231922/ex-gov-dela-cruz-comeback-bid-bulacan)
By FREDDIE C. VELEZ
November 30, 2009, 7:00pm

CITY OF MALOLOS, Bulacan – Former Bulacan governor Josie dela Cruz, chairman of the newly formed Del Pilar Party in this province, filed her certificate of candidacy (CoC) Monday in a bid to regain her old post.

Monday, supporters of Dela Cruz, numbering more or less 2,500 persons, said the former governor is bidding to make history as first ever to be reelected to the top Bulacan post.

“Dahil piyesta opisyal, maluwag ang kalsada na tinahak naming mahigit na 2,500 kataong na taga-suporta ng mga kandidatong panlalawigan at congressional na posisyon upang maghatid sa aming pambato na sina Dela Cruz, ang kauna-unahang babae na nahalal na gobernador ng lalawigan ng Bulacan, at ang kanyang running mate na si dating bokal na si Pacifico ‘Boy’ Aniag para sa bise gobernador,” the supporters said.

Those who filed their CoCs with Dela Cruz are her congressional bets – Linabelle “Ruth” Villarica, 4th District; former Guiguinto mayor Ambrosio “Boy” Cruz, 2nd District; and incumbent Bulacan Governor Joselito Roxas Mendoza, 3rd District. Former board member Christian Natividad filed his CoC for mayor of Malolos.

The 10 provincial board member candidates belonging to Del Pilar Party also filed their CoCs. They are: Michael Fermin, Felix Ople, Victorino Aldaba Jr., Ramon Posadas, Enrique dela Cruz, Enrique Viudez, Rino Castro, Enrique de los Santos Jr., Eulogio Sarmiento III, and Danilo Certeza.

Another congressional candidate, Ador Pleyto of the 4th District filed his CoC under the Lakas-Kampi-CMD banner.

Ador Pleyto for 4th district also filed his certificate of candidacy. Both hundreds supporters of Villarica and Pleyto were exchanging cheers for both 4th district congressional candidates but were immediately pacified by both leaders.

The Del Pilar Party vowed their full support to the Liberal Party candidates headed by Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas.

Obet Pagdanganan, nanalong governor ng Bulacan - Comelec (http://bomboradyo.com/newsdetails1.asp?ID=121088)
12/1/2009 10:27:14 AM

Limang buwan bago ang halalan, inilabas ngayon ng Comelec 2nd division ang kanilang desisyon na nagdedeklara kay Roberto "Obet" Pagdanganan bilang nanalong kandidato sa lalawigan ng Bulacan.

Batay sa limang pahinang desisyon ng dibisyon, nanalo umano ng 4,321 na boto si Pagdanganan kontra sa kasalukuyang gobernador ng Bulacan na si Joselito "Junjun" Mendoza.

Ang desisyon ng second division ay pinirmahan ng presiding commissioner na si Nicodemo Ferrer na kinatigan nina Commissionder Lucenito Tagle, at Commissioner Elias Yusop.

Niliwanag naman ni Ferrer na hindi pa final at executory ang kanilang desisyon at kung sakaling maghain ng kanyang motion for reconsideration si Mendoza ay iaakyat pa ito sa Comelec en banc. At kung may desisyon na ay maaari pa ring iapela ito sa Korte Suprema.

Bago ito noong October 15, 2009, ang Supreme Court ay nagbigay ng abiso sa Comelec na ituloy ang pagdinig sa election protest ni Pagdanganan.

Magugunitang si Pagdangan ay nagsilbi na ring gobernador ng Bulacan noong 1988, na re-elect ng dalawang beses noong 1992 at 1995.

Noong 2001, tumakbo siya bilang senador sa midterm elections sa ilalim ng People Power Coalition subalit minalas at natalo.

Nagsilbi na rin siyang Tourism secretary, presidential adviser on cooperatives, secretary ng Department of Agrarian Reform, at chairman at president ng Philippine International Trading Corporation hanggang 2007.

Una, the Berdes dropped RSP like a hot potato (iniwan sa ere) after AMS assumed office, and I'm sure gugustuhin ng pamilya ni ESR Jr. si Janet DS Reyes na maging katambal nun kesa kay Noli Concepcion, who will end up allying himself with RSP (Alvarado & Art Robes' presumptive bet with Lakas).

Samantalang nakuha naman ng Dilawan sina Roger Drio at JR Bartolome na alam ng mga taga-San Jose mga kilalang EVR boys, together with some diehard EVR barangay caps. [But unless magsama pa tong dalawang kampo tulad ng pinalulutang ng mga Sampoleño since parehas naman silang tubong Sampol/Sapang Palay eh lalabas na na-double cross lang itong si RSP]

IMHO Oca Robes running for mayor will further divide the greenies; remember he (and cousin Art) helped EVR "win" the 2007 polls. Him running together with that of ESR & RSP competing will only help the cause of AMS and CGF, especially that based on the picture they jumped ship to support the AbNoy-Mar presidency (I even though that would be the last thing for AMS to do considering na true blue Lakas & PGMA sya)...and the support of the yellow camp to the Partido Del Pilar (as shown in your picture, Josie & Boy raising AMS' hands) may weaken the stranglehold of the new Lakas slate [Alvarado-Robes-RSP-Noli (?)] in the city as there's a growing nationwide sentiment against anything Lakastama...

Comelec 'proclaims' Pagdanganan as Bulacan gov
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/regions/12/01/09/comelec-proclaims-pagdanganan-bulacan-gov

MANILA - Five months before the May 2010 elections, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Tuesday declared that Roberto "Obet" Pagdanganan is the real winner of Bulacan's gubernatorial race in 2007.

In a resolution, The Comelec 2nd Division ordered Joselito "Jon-Jon" Mendoza to vacate the post.

It said Pagdanganan won by a 4,321 margin against Mendoza in the 2007 elections.

"This is a historical vindication not just for my family, but for the people of Bulacan," Pagdanganan said, reacting to the resolution, which took the Comelec almost three years to issue.

Pagdanganan said he was deprived of the gubernatorial post because he was cheated in the last elections. He said the Comelec discovered that some of the ballots containing the names of Mendoza were doctored.

He said he is willing to take the gubernatorial post from Mendoza despite the Comelec's late resolution of his election protest. He said he would try to implement some of his outlined programs for the province during the next five months.

Pagdanganan has filed a motion for execution, asking the Comelec to immediately order Mendoza to vacate the provincial capitol.

The newly-proclaimed governor said he is running for representative of Bulacan's 1st district.

The family of Mendoza has said that he will run for representative of Bulacan's 3rd district in 2010.

The Mendoza clan, which has forged an alliance with the Liberal Party, is fielding former governor Josie dela Cruz in the gubernatorial race.

IMHO, If ESR & RSP tandem for Mayor and Vice Mayor malilit padin ang tsansa nitong 2 because they are came from District II, unlike AMS (District I) & CGF (District II), Si Mario Sarmiento kapatid ni AMS po pala ang isa sa makakalabang Congressman ni Arthur Robes.

Pagdanganan warns Mendoza against using party affiliations (http://businessmirror.com.ph/home/nation/19240-pagdanganan-warns-mendoza-against-using-party-affiliations.html)
Written by Jonathan L. Mayuga / Correspondent
Wednesday, 02 December 2009 20:38

ROBERTO Pagdanganan, who was declared by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) as the elected governor of Bulacan in the 2007 elections, on Wednesday cautioned ousted governor Joselito “Jonjon” Mendoza from using party affiliations “to circumvent and cover up the truth.”

Pagdanganan was reacting to the statement made by Mendoza in a news conference where he blamed the administration for his ouster.

“The administration or any political party has nothing to do with the Comelec decision. We are talking here of numbers, he [Mendoza] claimed to have won by 15,732 votes but the Comelec found out that 20,236 votes should be deducted from his votes after the appreciation of evidence presented by both camps,” Pagdanganan said.

“When I filed my election protest against him after the 2007 elections, Mendoza also filed his counterprotest, but he withdrew his protest after he found out that more and more votes will be deducted from him owing to misreading, miscounting, mistallying, misappreciation and the inclusion into counting and tallying of spurious and fake ballots in his favor,” Pagdanganan added.

He added that the ousted governor “even employed dilatory tactics after the recount was completed on July 28, 2008, and he even went to the Supreme Court…so how can he say that his ouster was manipulated owing to the alleged coalition of his new party, Partido del Pilar to the Liberal Party, which came just recently?” Pagdanganan explained. He added that Mendoza ran in the gubernatorial race in 2007 under the administration Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino party and remained loyal to the party until early November this year. “Now that he has been ousted, he is now blaming the same party that put him in power.”

“I was proclaimed the duly elected governor of Bulacan and Mendoza can go to the Supreme Court and delay my takeover to his post but he cannot deny the fact that he cheated in the election and now refuse to vacate the office of the governor and refuse to submit not only to the will of the people of Bulacan but also to the rule of law,” Pagdanganan added.

Bulacan among Gawad Galing Pook awardees for outstanding local governance program

By Emil G. Gamos

CITY OF MALOLOS, Bulacan, Dec. 2 (PNA) - The Provincial Government of Bulacan bagged another prestigious award as it made it to the top 10 of the list of the Gawad Galing Pook for outstanding local governance programs.

Governor Joselito Mendoza said Bulacan’s entry, the Gawad Dr. Manuel Roxas’ Flavor of the Month, as among the top LGU programs for 2009 in the country.

Mendoza said the province’s winning entry encourages departments under the Provincial Government to innovate for more effective governance and delivery of public services.

He said it serves as a vehicle to inform and encourage the public, private and civil society to participate and support programs and projects of the Bulacan provincial government throughout the province.

It also enhances collaboration and coordination among the different agencies in the province, he added.

The project was conceived in year 2000 and has been implemented since 2001 in honor of the respected pioneer of the program, Dr. Manuel G. Roxas.

"We are happy for the honor and we will continue to yield positive impact on the community and its people, active participation of the stakeholders, and sustainability in the said program," Mendoza said.

Mendoza said this program prompted effective government-private partnership with a total of 297 partner organizations tapped in 2008.

He cited that Gawad Dr. Manuel G. Roxas’ Flavor of the Month has bred culture of excellence especially in the advocacies for fire prevention, food security, youth and employment, and sound fiscal administration and tax collection.

This is reflected through various awards conferred to Bulacan such as Pag-asa Award, Best PESO, Kalasag Hall of Fame Award and many more, he added. (PNA)

Exciting in the sense na nareduce ang laban sa 3, pero we should also take into account na EVR boy din tong si Capa and could command the Iglesia vote (too bad hindi nya nakuhang VM si Roger Drio as the latter chose to side with the AMS camp)

Ang galing ng progress ng Bulacan.

Bulacan is now equipped with traffic lights and Cameras along the major roads/crossings/intersection of Mc Arthur Hiway.

Future plans include another overpasses, just like the Bocaue, Malolos, Baliuag overpasses. Di lang stated kung san san ito.

A new ark of Malolos, Bulacan ang gagawin, dahil aalisin na ang dati dahil sa road widening na pinalapad nila ang bridge.

Malolos is so clean, medyo ang tutukan na lang nila is which is nakakairita yung mga estudyante ng BSU lalo na kapag labasan.

Traffic lights along malolos capitol is now fully functional, imagine, naka green ang ilaw meaning takbo ng sasakyan, tapos tatawid ang mga tao? dapat ayusin nila ang pedestrian crossings. Iba na ngayon, hindi na tulad dati na tawid dito tawid dyan at anytime tawid kung sansan.

tama may mga trafic lights na nga sa Malolos,Marilao,Balagtas at sa Meycauayan,dito sa Bocaue at Guiguinto lang yata wala,about dun sa BSU students muntik na ako makasagasa dahil sa mga pasaway na mga tumatawid na yun, naka-green yung lights eh syempre mabilis ako para hindi ako mahuli ng pulis tapos may biglang mga tumawid ay naku nakakayamot, i think kailangan ng malolos ng mga police outpost,,katulad dati sa Meycauayan,may traffic police na nagbabantay sa stoplight at gumagamit ng megaphone para napagsasabihan yung mga pedestrians at vehicle drivers ng tamang gagawin para hindi nadidisgraysa ...sana magkaroon ng overpass sa kapitolyo o kaya sa tapat ng BSU

SAN JOSE DEL MONTE CITY, Bulacan – Good news for Bulakenyos.

The national and local governments have finally started negotiations for the construction of the $2-billion project extending the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) system here, City Mayor Angelito Sarmiento said Tuesday.

Sarmiento said during the consultative meeting held at Pecsonville Subdivision covered court that he expressed full support for the project because this will not only benefit his constituents but all Bulakenyos.

Sarmiento believes that the construction and the operation of the project could provide employment opportunities to the people in this city and will also enhance business in Bulacan.

Present during the meeting were representatives from the Department of Transportation and Communications, private contractors, officials of the barangays to be affected, particularly in Caloocan City, Quezon City, and San Jose Del Monte City. Also present were Councilors Celso Francisco and Giovanni Capricho, and Superintendent Reynaldo Ramirez, city police chief.

Kailan kaya magiging city ang bayan ng Pandi ?

mukhang matatagalan pa ito. baka in 20 years pa siguro base sa current state at rate ng pag-asenso ng bayan.

normally distributed kasi ang population ng iba't-ibang bayan sa Bulacan kaya hindi masyado overcrowded:bash::banana:
@Secaundis
sa tingin ko eto ang mga future cities ng Bulacan
1. Baliuag
2. Sta. Maria
3. Marilao
4. Pulilan

I agree. saktong-sakto sa mga iniisip ko na bayan at sa tamang pagkaka-sunod sunod. hehehe.

yep, tama. besides kesa magkaroon ng flyover unahin muna siguro ang road widening... mas mahalaga yun para maibsan ang traffic at magpatupad ng mga ordinansa para hindi nagte-tereminal ang mga bus dyan sa may Waletrmart para di na makadagdag pa sa paglubha ng daloy ng trapiko...

Malabo ang road widening d2 sa Sta. Maria, napakaraming titibaging gusali mas lalo d2 sa my Waltermart. Dpat gumawa ng bgong kalsada.

Naging mayor ba sya ng Sta, MAria? Oo matagal na dapat naging city ang Dasmarinas. 3rd attempt sya ng Dasmarinas. Una noong 1997 (umabot 3rd reading ng Lower House) tapos 2000 (umabot sa senate) and finally ngaun. Ang nagfile sa cityhood ng Dasmarinas ay ang dating mayor ng Dasmarinas ngaun ay congressman na. tapos mayor naman ay asawa nya kaya isa yung sa dahilan kung bakit successful na. Saka malaki improvements dito

Deserving naman maging city ang Dasma eh, sa population pa lng 556,000 mas malaki pa sa SJDM!

take note as of November 2009 kulang 600k na daw ang population dito, sbi din yan ni former gov. josie dela cruz most populated talaga, lalong nagpadami dito yung mga squatter from metro manila, kasama na jan ung mga narelocate din dahil sa bagyong ondoy. napunta sila sa Brgy. Kaypian at yung iba sa Towerville, Brgy. Sto Cristo.

imbes na gawing cities ang mga urban and qualified ginagawang cities ang mga unqualified.

long process ang cityhood. it will take 12-14months bago maipasa then maghihintay pa ng plebiscite. dasmarinas cityhood is filed last Nov 2008 and naipasa lang ni Gloria last oct 2009 then nagkaroon ng plebiscite last nov 25 2009.

Di pa city ang Binan. OO pasado na republic act for cityhood nila pero wla pa sila plebiscite to ratify Republic Act 9740.

Pagkatapos maging Republic Act ang cityhood bill magkakaroon ng plebiscite kung saan boboto ang registered voters ng yes or no sa cityhood.

may natatalo sa plebiscite pero konti lang like Meycauyan (first attempt nanalo ang no kaya hindi sila naging city noon) Ilagan, Isabela (natalo noong 1999), Novaliches, Tarlac (1969) at may iba pa

Sana nga maipasa na sa congreso cityhood ng ibang bayan sa Bulacan by 2010 para By 2011-2012 maging cities na. Matagal na process kasi ang cityhood kaya kadalasan 1 year

Geeez, di ko na maintindihan ang judicial system dito sa bansa natin. di ko maintindihan na kung bakit ang isang decision na final na ay nagiging contestable pa. I've been to Cabadbaran, Agusan Del Norte and its sure far from being a City. Kamukha lang ng Pandi yung lugar, kaya di ko magets ang naging basehan ng conversion ng mga lugar na ito into cities. Kasi kung siyudad na yung ganun, e lahat na siguro ng bayan sa Bulacan ay siyudad na by now. juskopo naman!

Kaso baka magbackfire rin yang kay Ador Pleyto kasi:

1) Mas mabango ang pangalan ni LV Villarica
2) Maraming nagsasabi na matatalo si Alvarado dahil wala daw syang ginawa nung bise gob sya eh paano naman hawak ni Jonjon Mendoza-Aniag ang provincial board
3) Pleyto & Alvarado are with Lakas (remember kiss of death vs Lakas?)
