How many cities are there in Bulacan?

3 as of 2009. Malolos City, Meycauayan City and San Jose del Monte City!

Yung part ba ng Sta. Maria, SJDM, Norzagaray, Angat, Bustos, Baliuag, Plaridel, Pulilan, Calumpit nilagyan ba yon ng mga traffic lights at cameras?

Ang nakikitaan ko lang kasi, Meycauayan, Marilao, Bocaue, Balagtas, Guiguinto, Malolos. Bawat crossings along Mc Arthur may mga installed cameras. Marami.

Ah.. eh.. Si Gob. Pagdanganan na pala ang gobernador ng Bulacan. Inialis pala si Gob. Jonjon Mendoza. Effective nung Dec 1 pa pala.

Pero nakakalat pa rin ang picture ni Mendoza sa mga kalsada... parang may hirit pa nga na Happy New Year e...

Karamihan naman yata ng bayan ng mga bayan na walang camera na binanggit mo Ichuo ay hindi dinaraanan ng MacArthur Highway e.

Happy New Year and Happy New Decade!

Wag kayong mag-aalala riyan sa Santa Maria, magiging city rin kayo. Dasmariñas City nga nakalusot na.

Invictus yang tag under your nick no? hehehe... :)

Ah eh,, wala akong alam eh, pero, ano po ba mga priveledge or kung anong epekto po ba kung gagawing CITY ang isang bayan?

Bakit naman ang BALAGTAS, maliit mang bayan pero nahirang ito na BUSINESS CAPITAL ng BULACAN noong 1998 ba yon? Under Mayor Totoy Castro admin. Tapos lalo pa magiging progresibo dahil maraming itinatayo.

Bakit napakaraming bangko din sa Balagtas.

Ok na kahit di maging City ang Balagtas. Parang ang panget. BALAGTAS CITY! Parang MAKABAGONG BALAGTASAN!

Ang national government kasi ay nag-a-allocate ng funds sa tatlong LGU divisions: Provinces, Cities at Municipalities... Yung mga province, medyo mas stable ang pondo nila since fixed naman halos ang number ng probinsya sa Pilipinas at napakabihira na may isilang na bagong probinsya. sa kaso naman ng municipalities, gustong gustong nila maging city sa kadahilanan na kakaunti palang ang mga siyudad na naghahati sa pondo allocated for cities (100 plus palang ata) as compared to municipalities (over 1000 municipalities). Yan ay base sa paliwanag ni Mayor Benhur Abalos na Chairman ng LCP. :)

I agree din na napakaunlad ng bayan ng Balagtas or atleast maganda ang Planning ng Municipality kasi maganda yung makikita mo sa bayan. Specially kung ikukumpara mo sa Guiguinto at lalo na sa Bocaue, Bulakan at Pandi. Pero kahit di naman maunlad ang bayan ng Bulakan at Pandi, tingin ko mas okay na yung itsura ng mga bayang nabanggit kumpara sa Bocaue na ewan ko ba kung anong direksyon ang tinatahak. Nakakalaki ng disappointment ko pag nadadaan ako sa Bocaue. Feeling ko ang Bocaue ang humihila sa mga bayan sa Bulacan, pababa. Lalo't higit sa mga karatig bayan nito, kasi grabe ang bagal ng daloy ng traffic dito, e napaka-strategic pa ng lokasyon nito sa mga mauunlad na bayan ng Sta.Maria, Marilao at Balagtas kaya parang pangit mang isipin parang sinasabotahe pa ng Bocaue ang ekonomiya at pag-unlad ng mga nasabing bayan. Opinyon lang naman. :)

Pero ganda ng Malolos, mukhang seryoso sila sa Urban Planning.

Its about time na din siguro yan. Para maging modelo ang siyudad at kapital sa mga munisipalidad at siyudad ng lalawigan.

ang ganda ng Sta. Maria, sana pahalagahan nila ang bayan nila di tulad ng Meycauayan na napag-iwanan na ng ibang bayan sa Bulacan

Tingin ko isa sa naging dahilan kung bakit hindi napapahalagahan ang isang bayan ay dahil sa bugso ng mga nag-ma-migrate sa isang bayan na walang pagpapahalaga sa bago nilang bayang tinitirhan. Nangyari yan sa Meyauayan at sa karamihan sa mga bayan sa Bulacan. At nangyayari yan sa Sta. Maria, lalo nitong mga huling taon kung saan umusbong ang construction at real estate industry sa bayan. Ang hamon sa mga namumuno sa mga bayan ay pag-alabin ang pagmamahal sa bayan ng mga mamamayan lalo na sa mga bagong salta sa nasabing bayan. :)

totoo po, sobrang traffic lalo na sa bocaue bridge sa tollgate. hindi kaya nasasabi mong disappointed ka dahil sa bocaue maraming mga bars, etc na alam natin na medyo may iba nangyayari don. at sa tabi ng marilao din.

sa bagay may kani-kaniyang pinagkakakitaan ang bawat bayan.

Ang Pandi kahit wala silang mga commercial establishments like, fastfoods or supermarkets, may marami silang BIG POULTRY FARM, dyan nga matatagpuan ang tatlong naka-aircon na poultry farm. naka-aicon ang manok at baboy, agrikultura - palay, bigas, gulay, saka mga palaisdaan. Mga waterparks o resorts. Kani-kaniyang klase talaga ng pagkakakitaan bawat bayan.

deleted - wala lang

Hmm... di pa showing db? Actually, i was referring to the poem by William Ernest Henley

Invictus

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Hindi naman issue sa akin kung maraming kumukuti-kutitap na ilaw sa Bocaue at Marilao. hehe. I guess mas lamang yung disappointment sa local government ng Bocaue kasi parang tu-tulog-tulog lang sila sa pwesto at parang okay lang sa mga mamamayan nila.

focus kasi yung mayor ng Bocaue sa mga kabataan like sa fraternities at sports like basketball, active sila

haha, kapamilya kasi ako eh, ngayon ko lang nalaman na sa Los Arkos, Brgy. Tungkong Mangga, City of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan nagtataping ang Darna, sayang diko nakikita ang makinis na katawan ni Marian. wahaha

Dahil sa tinatamong tagumpay ng Darna ay may thanksgiving mass ngayong hapon ang toprating show ng GMA sa kanilang location sa Los Arkos, Brgy. Tungkong Mangga, City of San Jose, Del Monte, Bulacan

Pareho pala tayong Kapamilya!

Mukhang kadalasan sa Bulacan sila nagshu-shooting ha. Like yung Fullhouse, sa The Cabanas sila at sa Roseville. Tapos yung Darna din kung saan saan, minsan sa Bulakan, Bulacan sila. Basta marami.

Ang lubak-lubak naman ng kalsada sa may Muzon-Graceville sa SJDM!!! Parang hndi national highway!

Ang lubak-lubak naman ng kalsada sa may Muzon-Graceville sa SJDM!!! Parang hndi national highway!

Yan ang matagal na namin problema noon pa, matagal na nirereklamo yan kay Late Mayor EVR pero walang tugon na nangyari, buti ngayon at narinig ni Cong. Arthur B.Robes ang aming hinanaing about sa kalsadang iyan medyo umayos na sya ngayon by 1st week of February. maganda na ang partial of Muzon-Tungko Road.,

Fact: Ang Muzon-Tungko ay dating Bocaue-San Jose Road or Gov. Fortunato F. Halili Avenue. Sa ngayon ganap nang naging National Road ang nasabing daan (November 20, 2009) pinagtibay ito sa pamamagitan ng Republic Act 9799 (http://www.senate.gov.ph/republic_acts/ra%209799.pdf) sa batas na isinagawa din ni Cong. Arthur B. Robes.

Nakita ko nga na nakapaskil ung pagiging national road nun at nakita ko rin na inaayos na ung kalsada kaya napakatrapik sa may Gracevillie.

Na-aspalto na pala ang bypass road d2 sa Sta. Clara, sana ituloy nila hangang Guyong at Bagbaguin.

Sa lahat ng taga-Sta. Maria dyan, please paki-vote sa pagiging mayor ulit si Mayor Omeng Ramos. Wag na nating sayangin ulit ang 3 taon na halos walang nangyari sa ating bayan. Nakita ko ang pagbabago nung cya ang naging mayor ng ating bayan!!!

SC decision pabor sa 16 syudad, pinawawalang-bisa

Naghain kahapon ng mosyon ang League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) na humihiling na ipawalang-bisa ng Korte Suprema ang December 21 decision nito na nagpapatibay sa konstitusyunalidad ng 16 na cityhood laws na nauna nang idineklara ng huli bilang ‘unconstitutional’ sa una nitong desisyon.

Binigyan-diin ng LCP na kuwestyunable ang big*lang pagbaligtad ng kataas-taasang hukuman sa sarili nitong desisyon na nagsabing ‘unconstitutional’ ang 16 na cityhood laws.

Ikinatwiran ng liga na matagal nang naging ‘final and executory’ ang naturang ‘full court decision’ at matagal na ring ipinatutupad ng mga ahensya ng gobyernong may kaugnayan sa kaso.

Idinetalye pa ng LCP na ang unang motion to reconsideration na inihain ng ilang municipal ma*yors noong Nobyembre 18, 2008 ay ibinasura ng SC (Supreme Court) “with finality” noong Marso 31, 2009 kaakibat ang mga salitang, “no further pleadings shall be entertained.”

Kasunod nito ay ipinag-utos ng kataas-taasang hukuman ang “entry of judgment” na naitala noong Mayo 21, 2009 matapos na muling mabasura ang ikalawang ‘motion for reconsideration’ noong Abril 28, 2009.

Ngunit laking gulat at pagkadismaya ng LCP nang biglang baligtarin ng SC ang sariling desisyon nitong nakaraang Disyembre 21. Sinasabi sa bagong desisyon na constitutional ang iba’t ibang batas na nagko-convert sa 16 na munisipalidad bilang mga lungsod.

“This (the reversal of a final decision) will set a bad precedent and will disturb the well-established legal principles on finality of judgment,” giit ng LCP.

Ipinunto ng liga na ‘final and executory’ na ang November 18, 2008 decision ng SC at sa katuna*yan, “(it) was confirmed and implemented by no less than the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Department of Budget and Ma*nagement (DBM) which issued a circular on June 30, 2009 for the final internal revenue allocation (IRA) for 2009 as a result of the reversion of the 16 newly-created cities to municipalities pursuant to entry of judgment of the Supreme Court.”

I-revert ang mga kunwaring city na yan! Approve ako dito.

hmmmm... kilala mo naman kung sino bet ko sa pagka-mayor eh... hehehe..

Sa lahat ng taga-Sta. Maria dyan, please paki-vote sa pagiging mayor ulit si Mayor Omeng Ramos. Wag na nating sayangin ulit ang 3 taon na halos walang nangyari sa ating bayan. Nakita ko ang pagbabago nung cya ang naging mayor ng ating bayan!!!

Yes, re-electionist po. his third non-consecutive term ang kanyang aim. re-electionist?

yep, si yoyoy ang kanyang vice at kasama din sa ticket ang ama ni yoyoy na si ador bilang congressman.

Sino vice mayor nya sa tiket - si Yoyoy?

ang pangit sa paningin ng mga sala-salabat na kawad ng kuryente at telepono... sana maayos yan ng mga dapat umayos nyan... tingin ko kailangan talaga ng urban planning ng Sta. Maria or better yet, ilipat nalang siguro ang bayan at planuhin nalang ng maayos para di magkaganito ang itsura...

Mukang mauunahan ng Meycauayan ang SJDM ah. :D 196,569 vs. 439,090

San ililipat ang bayan? Sa Pulong Buhangin? Guyong? Bagbaguin?

Mukang mauunahan ng Meycauayan ang SJDM ah. :D 196,569 vs. 439,090

Yon akala mo, San Jose del Monte City is Richest City/Municipality of Bulacan

P569 million ang sa Meycauyan as of 2008
P526 million ang sa San Jose del Monte as of 2007 pa

madami lang kasi factory sa kanila, dito konti lang...
43 million difference lang

ang laki2 kya magtax ng
Bodega ng Bayan (Head Office kasi dito) wahahah
Jollibee (2)
Mercury Drug (2) (Bago lng din yung isa yung sa Tungko)
Ever Supermarket (Bago lang to kya add ng malaki pa)

iwan padin ang Meycauyan jan, wahahaha :banana:

Patag-dulong bayan area siguro? lol. Nasa guyong kasi ang mga pabrika kaya di ideal na andyan ang magiging bayan, P. Buhangin at Bagbaguin naman eh medyo crowded na din na parang Poblacion tsaka medyo dulo na ng Sta. Maria yung parehong baranggay Bagbaguin sa west at P. Buhangin sa East. Maganda sana kung nasa gitna ng Sta.Maria yung magiging bayan at sana may malalapad ng kalsada.... :)


Or pwede din siguro yung palengke lang at ayung munisipyo ang ilipat... tapos idevelop yung mababakanteng mga lote - gawing kalsada or i-develop yung lugar para magkaroon ng bagong mukha yung bayan...

San ililipat ang bayan? Sa Pulong Buhangin? Guyong? Bagbaguin?

Pag titignan mo sa mapa, Guyong ang pinakagitna ng Sta. Maria, hndi nga rn bagay sa Bagbaguin dhl msyado ng dulo yun, Caypombo kaya?

Mejo residential ang dulong bayan-patag area.

mas residential naman ang Cay Pombo di ba? sa Patag kasi may mga bakanteng lupain pa sa tabi ng kalsada kaya mas madaling magtayo ng kung anu man ang ililipat dun as compared sa Guyong area na kailangan pang irelocate yung mga establishments... anyway, magandang gawan ng study yan ng munisipyo. Pag titignan mo sa mapa, Guyong ang pinakagitna ng Sta. Maria, hndi nga rn bagay sa Bagbaguin dhl msyado ng dulo yun, Caypombo kaya?

Mejo residential ang dulong bayan-patag area.

Kaya nga kung hindi nalagpasan ng SJDM ang P569M ng Meyc., Meycauayan na ang RICHEST CITY IN BULACAN wahaha. :D

3 na ang Mercury Drug d2, Philippine Batteries Inc. ang pinakamalaki magbayad ng tax d2 sa Sta. Maria, P13 Million.

Go Meycauayan! :D :D :D

san mo nga pala nakuha yung data mo na "2008 - P260,772,748.24 12.06%"? ala kasi ako makitang resources online. tsaka may data ka din ba ng ibang municipalities sa Bulacan?

Kalat-kalat ang tao d2 sa Sta. Maria pero 1 lang ang pinaka-sentro ng lahat, hndi k2lad sa SJDM na 3 ang major business districs nla. Mganda sana na magkaron dn tayo ng isa pang major business district.

Ipagpatuloy mo lang Mayor Omeng..

distributed din naman, di pa nga lang fully developed, kumabaga sumusulpot palang, like yung sa Pulong Buhangin-Cay Pombo, tapos yang Bagabaguin-Sta.Clara area... sa Catmon, medyo may plano noon na magtayo ng palengke dun kaso parang di pa ganon kahinog yung trading sa barangay kaya parang di naman nagtuloy. Kalat-kalat ang tao d2 sa Sta. Maria pero 1 lang ang pinaka-sentro ng lahat, hndi k2lad sa SJDM na 3 ang major business districs nla. Mganda sana na magkaron dn tayo ng isa pang major business district.

Maiba lang ako cno nakapunta na sa Brgy. Tambubong Bocaue, Bulacan? Walking distance lng samin yan. Ang pnagtataka ko lng na bkt RURAL pa rn ang nkasulat d2 sa brgy na to? e mejo over-crowded na dn naman ang lugar at wla ka ng mki2tang mga bukid. 4,000+ ang population nito.

In between MALOLOS SPORTS CONVENTION CENTER and PUREGOLD.

Idedemolished po mga bahay sa tabi ng PUREGOLD.

nagcocompare compare kayo ng mga kinikita ng bawat bayan, eh tingnan mo naman ang laki ng SJDM compare sa Meycauayan, na kahit 1/3 yata lang ng SJDM malaki kung kumita. Ano pa kaya kung ganon kalaki din ng SJDM ang Meyc, eh di baka mas lalo pa.

Minsan kasi tingnan din dapat ang lot area ng isang bayan, isang factor ito.

Bakit naman ang Balagtas, pagkaliit na bayan sa Bulacan, pero kung kumita, lumelevel sa mga karatig-bayan, na mas malalaki pa kaysa rito.

May info ka ba kung ilan ang seating capacity ng Sports Complex? Sana sports stadium nalang ang itinyo ng Malolos, madami na kasing sports complex (well, actually mukhang gymnasium lang naman talaga siya) sa Bulacan.... ala tayo kahit isang sports stadium dito na malaki ang seating capacity.

Kindly check the land area na sinasabi mo, malaki nga land area may pakinabang ba ung iba rural area dito sa pic? walang effect diba? kahit meaning yung maliit na bahagi lang ng san jose del monte malaki kumita. base naman sa population halos 50% lang ang lamang nmin sa meycauayan. madami factory lang sa meyc. kya gnun kita nila eh dito ilan lang ba factory?

Fact: YEAR 2005 SAN JOSE DEL MONTE is MOST BUSINESS FRIENDLY CITY in ENTIRE NORTH LUZON.

Bili ka na ng lupa dyan Boss UP MC. Ang dulo nyan kasi Roseville Village. Sosyal na village yan sa Malolos. Ganda ng commercial center nila. May gimikan, may sinehan, may church, may pavillion, may bangko, gsis, Accucare, marami. Dyan nga nagshu-shooting ang FULLHOUSE. Kung napapanood mo yon, ganda ng lugar di ba?

City of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan

*First City of Bulacan [September 10, 2000] by Republic Act 8797 thru the effort of former 4th District Representative AngeLITO M. Sarmiento
*First Class Urbanized City [Income more than 300 Million] Source: COA
*Richest City/Municipality of Bulacan [More than 526 million Income as of December 2007] Source: COA
*Most Populated City/Municipality of Bulacan [439,090 population as of August 2007] by Census



--- Ayaw ko mamuna, pero kung First Class Urbanized City lang pag-uusapan, sa Malolos City ako. Sana may Urban Planning talaga ang SJDM. Halos kasi yung puro pabahay dito. Napansin ko lang, ang SJDM bakit walang MALL.

Sa Malolos on-going na ang mall. Kung sa features lang, malinis, maayos, maluwag ang kalsada ng Malolos, naka traffic lights na, may mga ilaw na tulad sa NLEX ang kanilang kahabaan ng kalsada, under construction pa ang northrail, pinaganda pa ang Malolos Park tabi ng kapitolyo, may Malolos Central Terminal, bagong itatayo na munisipyo, commercial centers. at ang higit sa lahat ng nagustuhan ko dito, MAALIWALAS.

Sa SJDM puro sira kalsada. di nagtatagal ang mga kalsada pag inayos. Ewan ko ba. Parang probinsyang probinsya ang SJDM. Di ko ma-feel na City sila. Kahit nga kaibigan ko from SJDM eh, di rin nila feel na City sila.


pero wish ko sa SJDM, gumanda, umayos mga kalsada, saka matuloy yung kanilang plan na magkakaroon sila nung nabasa ko minsan. About MRT 7 tapos sa dulo nito may magiging commercial business park. sana.

Marami na din plang nka2pancin ng 2ngkol d2 sa pagka-province na itsura ng SJDM. Kung magiging MUNICIPALITY ang SJDM mga P350 milion lng cguro ang kita e. Naging city lng cla kaya lumaki ang income.

SJDM P526,000,000 / 439,090 = P1,197.93

Ang Meycauayan P569,000,000 / 196,569 = P2,894.65 HAlos doble ang per capita ng Meyc. kysa sa SJDM.

Pati yung "Sana Ngayong Pasko" ng GMA sa Bulacan din nag-shooting. May Santa Maria na binanggit si Ms. Susan Roces. Pati ilang bayan sa Bulacan, nababanggit.

San Jose del Monte is a 3rd class component city! and Malolos according to wikipedia, is a 4th class city... This is incredible... unbelievable. I have been to both cities. Malolos is a bustling and progressive city while SJDM is a poor, backward, and undeveloped place in bulacan. SJDM doesnt even deserve to become a city! Sta. Maria, Bocaue, Baliuag, Marilao, and Meycauayan are more progressive and looks more like a city than SJDM

hahaha, i have no plans to relocate eh, I am quite happy and satisfied with our lil farmville (hehehe) in Sta.Maria. Thanks for the suggestion though. :) Bili ka na ng lupa dyan Boss UP MC. Ang dulo nyan kasi Roseville Village. Sosyal na village yan sa Malolos. Ganda ng commercial center nila. May gimikan, may sinehan, may church, may pavillion, may bangko, gsis, Accucare, marami. Dyan nga nagshu-shooting ang FULLHOUSE. Kung napapanood mo yon, ganda ng lugar di ba?

May website sila, search mo na lang "The Cabanas".

Nga pala theres this one time sa congress na mag-dadagdag daw ng mga congressmen dahil sa lumolobong populasyon ng bansa. Technically kasi dapat for every 250,000 inhabitants sa isang lugar may 1 kongreso na magre-represent, if matuloy ito qualified na ang Sta. Maria in a year or two para magkaroon ng sariling congressman na magre-represent sa Congress... Pag nagkataon, baka mauna pang maging separate district ang Sta. Maria bago ito maging City.

TRIVIA: There are 7 municipalities of Sta. Maria in the Philippines (Laguna, Davao Del Sur, Romblon, Ilocos Sur, Isabela, Pangasinan and of course that of Bulacan).


another trivia: The population of Sta. Maria in Bulacan (205,528) is bigger compared to the combined total of all other Sta.Marias (161,567) in the country....


and another more: Sta. Maria, Bulacan is the only first class municipality amongst all Sta. Marias in the country... (next is Sta.Maria, Davao Del Sur which is 3rd class)

DELETED

Ayaw ko mamuna, pero kung First Class Urbanized City lang pag-uusapan, sa Malolos City ako. Sana may Urban Planning talaga ang SJDM. Halos kasi yung puro pabahay dito. Napansin ko lang, ang SJDM bakit walang MALL. - U/C po ngayon ang 2 mall dito dilang sikat, 1 is on Sampol Area "Victory Town Center" name ng mall parehas na parehas ito sa Victory Center Mall sa Grace Park, Caloocan City, iisa kasi ang design ng logo nila. 2 is on Muzon near crossing mall name "Simplicity Supercenter" it's look like Waltermart Santa Maria, maliit nga lang compare don.

Sa Malolos on-going na ang mall. Kung sa features lang, malinis, maayos, maluwag ang kalsada ng Malolos, naka traffic lights na, may mga ilaw na tulad sa NLEX ang kanilang kahabaan ng kalsada, under construction pa ang northrail, pinaganda pa ang Malolos Park tabi ng kapitolyo, may Malolos Central Terminal, bagong itatayo na munisipyo, commercial centers. at ang higit sa lahat ng nagustuhan ko dito, MAALIWALAS. Ang SJDM meron din naman malinis, maayos, maluwag ang kalsada ito ay ang Quirino Highway (4 Lane at aspaltado pa), May Traffic Lights din sa Muzon at Tungko problema nga lang hindi gumagana, display siguro wahehehe (May mga enforcer naman daw). Ang MRT-7 ay mag-start na sinisimulan na ang Real-state constrcution kung saan mismo itatayo din ang station ng MRT-7, baka magkaron din ng SM Center Tungko.

MRT7_Araneta_Station_Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araneta_MRT_Station)

Araneta MRT Station is a proposed station on the MRT-7. The station would be the first MRT station outside Metro Manila, being located in Brgy. Tungkong Mangga, City of San Jose del Monte in Bulacan.

The station would be located near the area of what is known as the site of the Colinas Verdes a premiere subdivision in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.

The proposed terminus will be in the proposed "Super City" Real Estate Development which will be constructed by SM Prime Holdings and Palafox Associates. The 22-km, 6-lane asphalt road, to be named as Tala Access Road will connect the station to the North Luzon Expressway.]Magkakaron din ng park dito sa Sampol Area di ko alam name likod ito ng City Hospital sa may Magra. Inuuna lang muna ang City Hospital tapusin ang kontruksyon bago isunod ang Park.

Sa SJDM puro sira kalsada. di nagtatagal ang mga kalsada pag inayos. Ewan ko ba. Parang probinsyang probinsya ang SJDM. Di ko ma-feel na City sila. Kahit nga kaibigan ko from SJDM eh, di rin nila feel na City sila. Maganda at maayos na Halos lahat ng major-roads ngayon sa San Jose del Monte at ang iba ay under Rehabilitation sa pangunguna ni Mayor Angelito Sarmiento at Cong. Arthur Robes. Try to visit now our city to feel the city you may go on Tungko, Muzon and Sampol try something different.

pero wish ko sa SJDM, gumanda, umayos mga kalsada, saka matuloy yung kanilang plan na magkakaroon sila nung nabasa ko minsan. About MRT 7 tapos sa dulo nito may magiging commercial business park. sana. -Salamat sa inyong Wish. Malamang mangyayari ang wish mo, ika nga Your wish is granted.

SA southern tip lng pala ng SJDM (Tungko) ang MRT-7, kala ko nung una sa may gitna ng city.

Laki pala ng Colinas something na gnagawa sa may Tungko.

Kuya, number 1 thing lang nyan is, SJDM ay napakalaki (urban man yan o rural area man yan) at SJDM napakalaki din ng populasyon at nakapalibot dito ang ibat ibang probinsya at siyudad -- manila at rizal, kaya kahit papano may reason para sabihing COMPONENT CITY sila. at talagang dapat nilang ipursue yun na maging city sila nung dati para nga naman malaki yung pondo sa kanila dahil nag-iisang city lang sila ng bulacan.

wait, may Jollibee at McDo ba sa SJDM? natanong ko lang.

Pero ang Malolos, naging City sila dahil sa kinikita ng lungsod primarily yun ang reason, next ang populasyon.

Ang Meycauayan City naman, malaking malaki kumita, malaking malaki din ang populasyon, at may katabing siyudad (valenzuela city) kaya sila naging city. First Class, Highly Urbanized City.

Kaya kung icocompare mo lang ang SJDM at Malolos, wala talaga ang SJDM dahil sa ga-kalahati lang ng SJDM ang Malolos, pero malaki ang kita. Malaking factors yon.

question:

ano ba talaga ang tama


BALIUAG o BALIWAG

Ang SM kasi BALIWAG.

Question din

Ano yung "Malibong" Matanda at Bata?

Ano meaning non? Akala ko kasi nung bata ako Malibo* na matanda at bata yon eh.

2 Jollibee sa SJDM, pero walang Mcdo.

BaliWag ata ang tama.

Kung sa itsura lang tlga, ang SJDM ay para tlgang hndi city dahil puro mga pabahay dhl maraming resettlement area at subdivisions sa lugar. Sa dalas kong magpunta dun wla pa akong nki2tang mga pabrika dun o mlalaki man lang business establishments. Kung magpapatuloy ang napakablis na population growth ng SJDM, bka pag tumagal maging mukang Valenzuela na ito na puro tao at bahay.

3 Bulacan towns, city placed under watch list (http://www.journal.com.ph/index.php/provincial/723-3-bulacan-towns-city-placed-under-watch-list)
by Emil G. Gamos & Manny Balbin
Wednesday, 13 January 2010 18:41

CAMP Gen. Alejo Santos, Bulacan -- The Commission on Elections and the police yesterday placed the towns of Bocaue, San Ildefonso, Sta. Maria and the city of San Jose del Monte in Bulacan under its watch list as possible “hot spots” in the province in the May 2010 polls.

Bulacan PNP officer-in-charge S/Supt. Edgardo Tinio and lawyer Sabino Mejarito, Bulacan provincial election supervisor, said they have ordered the deployment of police response teams to back up local policemen for security and peacekeeping operations in the said localities.

“We are still conducting validation on possible hot spots in the province and have placed these areas in our watch list,” Tinio said.

Tinio and Mejarito also announced that they will conduct seminars to define the respective roles of the police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines in the ongoing implementation of the total gun ban and the formation of the Comelec-Bulacan police response teams.

“We are expecting many requests for assistance as the election day nears and we are now preparing for it,” Mejarito said.

Mejarito told reporters that prosecution of violators is very vital in the implementation of the total gun ban. He also commended the Bulacan police for doing a good job in its implementation.

Since the election period began last Sunday, the Bulacan police have so far arrested nine gun ban violators.

Tinio said that they are aiming for a “zero” election related violence in the province and at the same time reminded policemen manning checkpoints to observe conduct and decorum and stressed that all policemen on duty should be in proper uniform.

“I have already instructed all police chiefs to strictly follow all the Comelec guidelines and resolutions,” Tinio said.

Tinio said that aside from enforcing the total gun ban, the Bulacan police is also pursuing aggressive police operations against criminals and law offenders.

He also said that the implementation of the total gun ban is boosting the anti-crime operations of the local police and has already resulted in the arrest of several criminal elements.

kuya baka tingin lang nila dyan TRYKE kasi ano lang ba ang 2M sa kanila, barya lang.

magaling din talaga sila tumingin.

Imagine yung 3.0 pa ang binili, yung pinakamahal pa na series ng Fortuner.

Ang Mayor ng Balagtas, naka Mercedez, Porsche, BMW, Opel and Helicopter.

Pero ito'y hindi galing sa kaban ng bayan. Dahil hindi palang siya Mayor, may ganyan na siya. Mayaman lang talaga ang angkan nila.

nice one... kaya pala nya ipina-aspalto ang mga kalsada pauwi sa kanila sa Bagbaguin... para di maalog ang service nya pauwi... :nuts: @Secaundis

PGMA to inaugurate new Government Center of San Rafael, Bulacan (http://pia.gov.ph/?m=12&fi=p100118.htm&no=10&r=&y=&mo=)

Manila (18 January) -- President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will visit this province to formally inaugurate the municipality's newly constructed Government Center today.

The Chief Executive will lead the ribbon-cutting and unveiling of the project marker to formally open the center's state-of-the-art facilities to the public.

After the inaugural activities, the President will inspect selected portions of the new municipal hall which houses the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Engineering offices on the ground floor, and the Mayor's Office, Municipal Planning and Development Office, Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) office and the Sangguniang Bayan Session Hall on the second floor.

Built at a cost of P86.812 million, the new San Rafael Government Center is located in a 2.8-hectare lot along the Maharlika Highway here. It is less than 2 kilometers away from the commercial center of Baliuag, Bulacan and the municipality's own commercial center in Brgy. Cruz na Daan.

Funds for the project was partly sourced from a PhP5 million funding from the President's Social Fund and another P20 million from the congressional development fund of Bulacan 3rd District Rep. Lorna Silverio.

Joining the President for the inaugural activity are: Rep. Silverio, San Rafael Mayor Ricardo Silverio, Malolos, Bulacan Archbishop Jose Oliveros, Presidential Assistant for Central Luzon Lorelei Fajardo, Region 3 Police Director Chief Supt. Leon Nilo dela Cruz and Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM) Commander Major General Ricardo David. (PIA-MMIO)

Tumilaok si San Pedro! (http://abante-tonite.com/issue/jan1210/opinions_spy.htm)
Rey Marfil

Hindi lang Metro Manila ang ‘makulay’ ngayong 2010 election, suriin ang banggaan sa Bulacan, aba’y naglalaban ang magkapatid, mag-ama, magkarelasyon at magkaibigan. At bago nagtapos ang taong 2009, pinakakontrobersyal ang San Jose Del Monte City, Bulacan, aba’y nagmatigas si Vice Mayor Reynaldo San Pedro at aya*w ipahiram ang susi ng City Hall kay Mayor Angelito Sarmiento gayong malinaw ang Comelec ru*ling. Take note: Hindi naman pag-aari ni San Pedro ang kahit isang poste ng City Hall at lalong hindi nakapangalan ang mga pundasyon. Ni sa panaginip, ayokong isi*ping ‘nasarapan’ si San Pedro kaya’t pumalag ito, maliban kung naimplu*wensyahan ng alak kaya’t iba ang pagkakaintindi sa katagang ‘order’ ni DILG Secretary Ronnie Puno, ‘di ba Asec Bryan Yamsuan?
Lingid sa kaalaman ng publiko, sampu ng mga taga-San Jose Del Monte, hindi lang magkaibigan ang turingan nina Sarmiento at San Pedro kundi ‘sanggang-dikit’, patunay ang pagiging magka-tandem noong 2007 election. Hindi lang ‘yan, usap-usapan din sa City Hall ang pagiging ‘Good Samari*tan’ ni Sarmiento, aba’y ipi*nagpiyansa si San Pedro nang makulong sa panahong hikahos ang vice mayor.
Ang malungkot lang, nagbago ang lahat ng pansa*mantalang maupong alkalde si San Ped*ro at hawakan ang ‘susi’ ng City Hall, kapalit ng namayapang si Dr. Eduardo Roquero habang dinidinig ng Comelec ang protesta ni Sarmiento. Dahil magkaibigan at magka-tandem noong 2007, nagpalabas pa ng mani*fest of support si Sarmiento kay San Pedro bilang mayor, kasama ang mga konsehal nito.
Ang nakakagulat lamang, makalipas ang ilang araw pag-upo bilang Acting Mayor, nagkainteres si San Pedro, animo’y nagustuhan ang ‘tumilaok’ sa City Hall, aba’y ayaw lisanin ang puwesto kahit pinapaupo ng Comelec si Sarmiento bilang lehitimong alkalde dahil napatunayang nandaya si Roquero. Ang mala*king pagkakamali ni San Pedro, hindi ‘bopols’ ang mga taga-San Jose Del Monte kung ‘paawa effect’ ang motibo o gustong makuha ang atensyon ng botante kaya’t pinalagan ang pagbaba sa trono, maliban kung meron itinatagong baho kaya’t takot umalis ng City Hall lalo pa’t usap-usapan kung nasaan napunta ang P2.5 mil*yon sa loob ng ilang araw na pag-upo nito, ‘di ba Counci*lor Noli Boy?

Napag-usapan ang Bulacan, isang mayoralty candidate din ang sobrang ‘tulis’ dahil kung sinu-sino ang ‘naasembolan’, animo’y tandang kung dumiskarte sa mga kababaihan. Kahit sinong matipuhan, hindi pinali*ligtas kaya’t hindi nakaka*gulat kung bakit obsession ang mag-alkalde dahil maraming bubuhayin at kailangang susustentuhan.
Mantakin n’yo, apat ang babaing ‘ibinabahay’ ni Mayoralty bet, animo’y kada kanto, ito’y meron inuuwian, aba’y walang binatbat si Brader, as in Jojo Ismael ng Philippine Broadcas*ting System (PBS)-Radyo ng Bayan.
Mantakin n’yo, mismong asawa ng kanyang pinsang overseas worker, ito’y ‘tinalo’ at hanggang ngayon, kinakasama ni Mayoralty bet ang bebot at binigyan pa ng trabaho sa sariling opisina. Hindi lang iyan, maging anak ng isang natalong Kapitana o barangay chairman sa kanilang lugar, ito’y nabiktima at naasembolan. Ang pinakama*lupit sa lahat, meron rape case (statutory) na kinasasangkutan si Mayoralty bet at isang menor de edad na katulong ang biktima.
Kundi nagkakamali ang Spy, dinampot ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) si Mayoralty bet kaya’t malaking tanong kung anong nangyari sa kaso. Hindi lang iyan, nahulihan din ng unlicensed firearms ang isa sa bodyguard at konektado sa rebeldeng grupo. Kaya’t hindi nakakagulat kung malagay sa hot spot ng Comelec.

Si Hayden Kho ba itong Mayoralty candidate ng San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, wahaha?

Saka isang kamay ko man nasa subject na ishu-shoot ko, ang mata ko naman nasa daanan at yung isang kamay ko sa steering wheel.

I guess good thing kaya ko nakakapag-shoot ng maayos na captured kasi maganda yung digicam kong point-and-shoot kaya kahit mabilis, o magalaw, on focus padin at maganda lumalabas na output kada shoot.

6 lane yun..inaspaltuhan na yung gilid sakop yung magkabilang shoulder ng white lines,,yung shoulder eh yung pinaka rampa nung drainage canal...taga dun po ako heheu

Hindi mo pwedeng gawing third lane ang rampa ng drainage canal kasi ito yung pedestrian walkways. yung inner then next lanes plus shoulder ang bumubuo don hindi counted ang pedestrian walkways which is yung drainage. When we say 4 lanes, hindi kasama ang shoulder. yung inner and next lanes lang ang counted kaya 4 lanes siya.

Pero to be fair, may part nga talaga sa Malolos, lalo na yung part ng BSU harap ng Malolos Capitol up to Carworld is 6 lanes talaga siya. The rest is puro 4 lanes. Itong part kasi na ito, is nandito talaga sentro ng mga commercial establishments kaya kailangan lang talaga na 6 lanes dito.

sa bandang tikay papuntang manila 4 lanes sya tapos mula tikay papauntang bsu eh naging 6 lane..naka reserve yung shoulder mula bsu to ceu kc ililipat ng site yung city hall of malolos from the city/town proper ililipat sa may highway..katabi ng ginagawang malolos sports and convention center

Yes confirmed, dito itatayo sa pagitan ng Malolos Sports & Convention Center and Puregold. Ano pa rin siya, 4 lanes, kasi with shoulder. Kung tutuusin 6 lanes nga siya kung isasama mo ang shoulder, pero once na sinabi natin lalo na kapag sa expressways or kahit sa anong kalsada, kung ano lang talaga yung major lanes yun lang nag counted hindi kasama ang shoulder.

Literally, 6 na hanay siya ng kalsada all in all, pero officially speaking 4 lanes lang siya plus the shoulder.

katabi lang po namin yung pinag shushoting ng full house tapos yung isang location eh sa Cabanas Mall,,yng yung bagong tayong mall dito sa Malolos na mala Eastwood ang style

Sa Lakeshore sila nagshushoot nung nakaraan, pero na extra din ako sa Fullhouse sa Cabanas noon, na extra yung sasakyan ko ha. hahahhha

hahaha,gnun ba?ajeje tga sAan k s malolos@ ichuo_mx?Sana dati ko pa nadiscover yung site na ito,nice meEting you all here

wala nevermind, bawal po

hahaha,gnun ba?ajeje tga sAan k s malolos@ ichuo_mx?Sana dati ko pa nadiscover yung site na ito,nice meEting you all here

Hindi po ako taga malolos pero lagi po ako sa malolos, ultimo lubak ng kalsada, alam ko kung saan at alam ko ang pakiramdam. joke

gnun b@ichuo_mx,heheu ok poh,bale taga saAn ka budz?

Uy hindi naman. isa lang akong mahilig magpipipikchur ng kung anu ano gamit ang digicam ko. Saka point and shoot lang naman gamit kong digicam.

Kaya ko siya nakuhanan mga portion nito kasi continous shooting yung digicam ko. medyo mahirap mag effort kasi while you drive di ba, tapos malaki pa car ko, at manual pa, tapos syempre maintain ang speed dahil nasa nlex ka, ibayong pag-iingat naman.

baka sa year 2030 pa matapos ang North Rail. Sa may barangal Burol, Balagtas Bulacan, yaong dating lugar nt riles ng PNR ay ganoon pa rin. walang any signs of constructions. I am sure sa ibang lugar ng bulacan ay wala ring construction ng rails. Yaong tila station ng North Rail sa Malolos lang yata ang ginawa para kunwari ay may ginagawa.

i guess stations lang yung una nila ginagawa kasi mabilis lang naman iayos ang railways eh, baka naman kasi kung 2030 pa matapos yun eh obsolete na ang mga tren at may bago ng mode of mass transport, hehehe ... :lol: baka sa year 2030 pa matapos ang North Rail.

it seems that you haven't visited the PNR thread lately... inuuna nila ng mga sections na kinakailangan ng viaducts... inuuna ung mga posts para sa elevated rail, a la MRT/LRT... tuloy-tuloy din ang pag-demolish sa mga kabahayan papuntang Pampanga... obviously, di na siguro mabubuksan eto bago bumaba si GMA but i think they can still finish it within this year...

From Malolos to Bocaue na po ang constructions, hindi ko pa po alam sa part ng Marilao up to Caloocan. Pero kanina lang, Malolos to Calumpit napuntahan ko at may mga inaayos na don.

5 years maximum yan kasama na ang delays niyan panigurado tapos na yan.
Tuloy na tuloy talaga ito.

Ang part din kasi ng Tabang to Bocaue, at rest lang siya sa lupa yung riles niya kasi stable ang lupa dito, maganda ang lagay, kaya hindi masyado ginagawa, kasi madali nalang i-laid yung mga bakal ng riles. Ang inuuna nila ay yung mga Major and minor Bridges like sa Balagtas part, yung mga elevated like sa Malolos at sa Tabang. Yun ang inuuna nila dahil yun ang matagal don gawin.

Malolos lone district nullified

http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=544529&publicationSubCategoryId=63

Supreme Court: No new Malolos district
(The Philippine Star) Updated January 28, 2010 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - The Supreme Court (SC) has nullified a new law creating a congressional district for Malolos City in Bulacan.

In a vote of 7-6, the High Court declared that Republic Act 9591, the law passed on May 1, 2009 assigning a separate legislative district for Malolos City, violated Article VI Section 5 (3) of the Constitution and Section 3 of the Ordinance attached to the Charter, which both provide for a minimum population requirement of 250,000 for a city to have its own representative in Congress.

In an 11-page decision penned by Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, the SC refused to grant representation in Congress to Malolos City after petitioners failed to show records that their population is at least 250,000 in time for the May 10 elections.

“There is no showing in the present case that the City of Malolos has attained or will attain a population of 250,000, whether actual or projected, before the 10 May 2010 elections,” the SC said.

The SC said Congress was wrong in using an undated certification issued by Region III Director Alberto Miranda of the National Statistics Office (NSO) that “the projected population of (Malolos) will be 254,030 by the year 2010, using the population growth rate of 3.78 percent between 1995 and 2000 as basis for the passage of the law.”

The High Court also stressed that the certification, based on demographic projections, holds no legal effect since Miranda has “no basis and authority to issue the certification.”

“The certification is void on its face because based on its own growth rate assumption, the population of Malolos will be less than 250,000 in the year 2010,” the SC said.

“In addition, intercensal demographic projections cannot be made for the entire year. In any event, a city whose population has increased to 250,000 is entitled to have a legislative district only in the ‘immediately following election’ after the attainment of the 250,000 population.”

The court explained that only the NSO administrator or his designated certifying officer could issue certifications on demographic projections and be declared official by the National Statistics Coordination Board.

But the SC noted that the subject certification stated the total population of Malolos as of May 1, 2000 is 175,291 and that the city’s population growth rate is 3.78 percent per year between 1995 and 2000.
“Based on a growth rate of 3.78 percent per year, the population of Malolos of 175,291 in 2000 will grow to only 241,550 in 2010,” the court said.

“Even if the growth rate is compounded yearly, the population of Malolos of 223,069 as of Aug. 1, 2007 will grow to only 249,333 as of Aug. 1, 2010.”

At the time the legislative bills for RA 9591 were filed in Congress in 2007, the population of Malolos City was 223,069. Prior to this, the city was part of Bulacan’s first legislative district, along with the towns of Hagonoy, Calumpit, Pulinan, Bulacan and Paombong.

Chief Justice Reynato Puno and Associate Justices Conchita Carpio-Morales, Arturo Brion, Mariano del Castillo, Martin Villarama Jr. and Jose Perez concurred in the ruling.

Associate Justices Renato Corona, Antonio Eduardo Nachura, Teresita Leonardo de Castro, Diosdado Peralta, Lucas Bersamin and Roberto Abad dissented.
Associate Justice Presbitero Velasco Jr. inhibited from the case, while Associate Justice Jose Mendoza was on leave.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q33/c2d_mx/pnr/IMG_9869.jpg

Saan to place?

tsk tsk tsk, wawa naman yung tatakbong congressman dito.. ehehehe.. dapat kasi nagsama ang Malolos ng isang municipality from district 1 para atleast umabot sa population requirement. pero base talaga sa population ng Bulacan dapat meron tayong atleast 10 representatives sa Congress. Malolos lone district nullified

narealize ko lang bat di kaya naisip ni Neneng na hatiin ang fourth district ng Bulacan into two districts? pwede naman eh, Meycauayan at Obando (total population as of 2007: 252,827)then Sta.Maria at Marilao (total population as of 2007: 365,710). that way mas lalaki yung allocation ng funds in these areas.

Saan to place?
sa harap ng BSU po iyan.sa gilid ng main gate ng BSU^^

Saan to place?

yup harap ng BSU and opposite facing the proposed northrail malolos station.
beside mang inasal & ministop, are Gerrys Grill, Yellow Cab and KFC.

Commercial area siguro ito sa malolos..

nagtayuan lang yata yang mga fastfood chain na yan simula nung magkaroon ng Mcdo sa gilid ng BSU

nagtayuan lang yata yang mga fastfood chain na yan simula nung magkaroon ng Mcdo sa gilid ng BSU


Kung ganon may source pala, hindi rin magtatagal ang row ng northrail ay magkakaroon narin ng ibat-ibang commercial areas.

ganito ang plan ng malolos sa buong helera nyan ng area sa tapat ng ROW ng NR.

Simulan natin sa The Cabanas.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q33/c2d_mx/Untitled-2.jpg

The Cabanas - CEU Malolos - South Supermarket - Grand Royale - vacant space - proposed site of SM City Malolos - underconstruction of Malolos Sports and Convention Center - proposed site of the new municipal hall of Malolos City - Puregold Malolos - Malolos Central Terminal (ang laking bagay nito para di palaboy laboy ang mga pasaherong jip sa kalsada) - McDo BSU - BSU Gate - Commercial Bldg (pic sa previous post) - Provincial Capitol - Provincial Park - Commercial Buildings - Gasoline Station - Supermarket - BPI - Commercial bldg - crossing - commercial area - Mercury Drugstore - Supermarket - Jollibee - Commer cial building - AMA - Gasoline - Commercial Bldg - Hospital - Mitsubishi Carworld - Proposed site of Robinson's Place Malolos City



So halos ng isang mahabang helerang ito, dyan ang lugar ng commercial areas.
kasi, ang harap nito ay ang ROW ng Northrail na syempre hindi pwede gawing commercial area kasi maba-blocked ang way papunta nito sa mga areas na to. So mostly yung area ng ROW ng NR, puro mga residentials.

nakakalungkot ung pagkakanull ng R.A 9591 Lone District of Malolos aCt,buT koNting tym nlng maaprub din yan pg naging 250,000+ n pop,mhrap naman kasi na maging lone district ang malolos ng below 250K pop.May buTas,dpat malinis ang lahat ng requirements

Tama yung development plan ng Malolos City na pinost ni ichuo_mx,mula The Cabanas to Vacant Lot after Carwold-Malolos,puro nasa side na yun ang establishment,while nasa kabila ung northrail malolos viaduct

yep yep yep :)

And kuya WoS,

dyan sa tabi ng Plaridel by-pass road ang PNR ROW ng CVR.

That is correct. Ang tagal ko na kasing nireresearch ang NLEE project. It tuns out na ang Plaridel, Cabanatuan at San Jose, pagpinagdugtong dugtong, North Luzon East Expressway. Nas DPWH ang lahat ng kasagutan dito. 2 lanes lang muna and eventually 4 lanes. Parehong radius ng kurbada sa NLEX at SLEX.

That may also apply with Jun Aniag, Gov Mendoza's candidate for Congress in Malolos, baka malipat sa 1st district since ang naglalaban-laban lang naman dun ay ung misis ni Willy Alvarado na si Marivic (Palaka) at si Gov Obet (Nacionalista)

Sindikato ng droga sa Bulacan nabuwag

abs-cbnNEWS.com | 01/30/2010 11:08 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Pitong lalaki ang naaresto ng mga ahente ng Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) sa isinagawang operasyon sa Bocaue, Bulacan nitong Biyernes ng hapon.

Kinilala ni PDEA agent Edrian Velasco ang mga naaresto na sina Teddy Castillo, Wally Cruz, Gregorio Gallardo, Ronald Ryan Agapito, Tomas Castillo, Edlher Paloma at Melvin Cruz.

Unang inaresto ng mga ahente ng PDEA si Castillo sa aktong pag-aabot ng 500 gramo ng shabu na may street value na P300,000.

Huli ang 6 pa niyang kasamahan sa kanyang bahay kung saan nakakuha pa ang mga ahente ng ilang gramo ng shabu, mga drug paraphernalia, isang .22 rebolber at balisong.

Ayon kay Velasco, ilang buwan muna nilang minanmanan si Castillo at ang kanyang mga kasamahan bago isinagawa ang buy-bust operation.

Tiyempo naman umanong magkakasama ang 7 suspek sa bahay nang isagawa ang operasyon.

Dinala na sa punong himpilan ng PDEA sa Quezon City ang mga suspek. Inihahanda na rin ang pagsasama ng kaukulang kaso labansa kanila. Ulat mula sa ABS-CBN News

Comelec orders DILG to install Pagdanganan as Bulacan governor (http://businessmirror.com.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=21676:comelec-orders-dilg-to-install-pagdanganan-as-bulacan-governor&catid=26:nation&Itemid=63)

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Tuesday ordered the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Provincial Election Supervisor of Bulacan to implement its earlier ruling to unseat Joselito Mendoza as governor of Bulacan and peacefully turn over the said office to Roberto Pagdanganan as the duly elected governor of the province.

In a 10-page resolution written by Chairman Jose Melo, the Commission en banc dismissed for lack of merit the motion for reconsideration filed by Mendoza assailing the resolution of the poll body’s Second Division dated December 1, 2009.

Based on the order, Pagdanganan obtained a total of 342,295, as against Mendoza’s 337,974, or a margin of 4,321 votes.

Melo said that considering the proximity of the end of the term of the office involved, the said resolution is “declared immediately executory.”

Records of the protest case show there are about 20,236 votes deducted from Mendoza which are found to be spurious.

It will be recalled that during the May 14, 2007, elections, Pagdanganan and Mendoza were two of the four candidates for the position of governor of Bulacan. The Provincial Board of Canvassers proclaimed Mendoza on May 24, 2007, as the duly elected governor, having garnered a total of 364,566 votes as against Pagdanganan’s 348,834 votes, or a margin of only 15,732 votes.

On July 1, 2007, Pagdanganan filed an election protest against Mendoza questioning the results in 16 out of the 24 cities and towns of Bulacan, or a total of 5,066 single and clustered precincts, on the ground of misreading, miscounting, mistallying, misappreciation, and the inclusion into the counting and tallying of spurious and fake ballots in favor of Mendoza.

Pagdanganan said he hopes for a peaceful transition of the gubernatorial seat in Bulacan and he expects Mendoza to respect the decision of the Comelec just like what he did.

“The decision of the Comelec reflects the true will of the people of Bulacan and there is no reason for the other party to deny Bulacan, the rightful winner in the last election,” Pagdanganan said.

Although it was clear the he is the real elected governor of Bulacan, Pagdanganan, however, said he will not run for governor of Bulacan but instead seek a congressional seat in the First District in his home province this coming elections to better serve not only the province of Bulacan but the whole country.

Gulo ng Kapitolyo ngayon noh?

sana mag-give way nalang si Mendoza, para iwas gulo nalang. dami pang madadamay na sibilyan sa gulo nila ni pagdanganan eh.

I realy sad talaga,

Sana maayos na ang Gulo sa Malolos, baka maka-apekto ito sa mga developments dun..:ohno:

sino ba sa dalawang magkatunggali ang nakagawa ng kagandahan, kaayusan, developments sa Bulacan?

pumapasok ulit. tubong san jose del monte

imo: siempre si obet, kumpara kay mendoza na 2 and a half years pa lang nanunungkulan, while c obet ay pumalo n ng almost 1 decade. panahon ni obet lumarga ang ngayo'y malalaking kooperatiba sa buong bulacan.

fyi: bago pa mangyari ito sa kabisera ng Bulacan, nauna nang napatalsik sa pwesto ayon din sa desisyon ng comelec ang late SJDM Ciy mayor na c Eduardo roquero, isang oposisyon upang ipalit si Sarmientong maka ad ministrasyon. tangan lamang na namatay di umano sa sama ng loob ang huling mayor bago pa maiproklama si sarmiento bilang mayor. at dahil umentra sa eksena ang bise alkalde kaya mas gumulo.

kuro-kuro: isa kaya itong sabwatan o political conspiracy, sa isang mas malala o mas magulong national political chuvanes? wag nawang mapangyari.


tumakbo na lang sila ulit para magkaalaman.

nctramz baka gusto mo ding kunan ng larawan ang Victory Town Center sa Sampol. lubusin mo na. at kung makapasok ka sa Puyat Wall eh pasukin mo na rin... napaka misteryoso kasi ang loob ng Puyat Wall.

Grabe na talaga sa kapitolyo ha.

Nakaharang ang dalawang trak sa magkabilaang daanan, harapan ng kapitolyo.

Gulo ng Kapitolyo ngayon noh?

naku ou,laki pa ng abala hindi lang sa malolos kundi sa buong bulacan.madaming nakabinbing resolution sa provincial board.sa totoo lang walang paki ang city government kasi may alitan sa pagitan ng capitolyo at city government of malolos dahil gumagawa ng paraan ang capitol para hindi tuluyang mahiwalay ang malolos sa bulacan

Gulo ng Kapitolyo ngayon noh?

sino ba sa dalawang magkatunggali ang nakagawa ng kagandahan, kaayusan, developments sa Bulacan?

Para sa akin c mendoza kasi,in span of two and a half years malaki iginanda ng malolos sa gawing capitolyo at madami syang naipagawang government building dito sa malolos

I realy sad talaga,

Sana maayos na ang Gulo sa Malolos, baka maka-apekto ito sa mga developments dun..:ohno:

Hindi naman apektadn ang Malolos in terms of legistlation and projects.ang apektado po nito ay ang mga municipalities ng Bulacan Matagal na pong may silent war between city government and provincial capitol.Ang direct na tatamaan ay yung administrative,legislative and projects para sa buong lalawigan.Kung sa Malolos lang e hindi affected.matagal nang may war dahil gusto nang humiwalay ng Malolos pero pinipigilan ito ng Provincial Government

Nagsimula ang gap at silent war ang Malolos at Capitolyo nuon pang 1999-2001,dahil ito sa cityhood ng malolos,pinag-aagawan ng City Government at Provincial Government kung sino sa kanila ang may direct at ruling power sa kabisera.In the sense,dpat City Government thru mayor,pero dahil mas mataas ang capitol,they extend their muscle to rule all over the capital na sya namang kinokontra ng mayor as the legitimate chief executive of the city

pumapasok ulit. tubong san jose del monte

imo: siempre si obet, kumpara kay mendoza na 2 and a half years pa lang nanunungkulan, while c obet ay pumalo n ng almost 1 decade. panahon ni obet lumarga ang ngayo'y malalaking kooperatiba sa buong bulacan.

tumakbo na lang sila ulit para magkaalaman.

In the SJDM Case,Mayor lang ang pinababa ng COMELEC,kya hindi apektado ang buong probinsya,Kaso ngayon hindi naman mayor ng malolos ang pinabababa ng COMELEC,kundi GOVERNOR OF BULACAN,who ruled the 21 towns of Bulacan,di maxado apektado 3 Cities (Malolos,SJDM,Meycauayan) kasi may sariling charter sila at independent na sa legislative and administration unlike the remaining 21 towns.pag lumalala ito,pati budget ng mga bayan madedelay

So sarado na naman ba ang kapitolyo?

ou,mukhang magtatagal ito kasi sa lunes pa mag pupulong ang COMELEC en banc sa isyung ito.Eh mukhang aakyat sa Supreme Court ito pag lumabas na final execution ng COMELEC En Banc.Kasi as Gov Jonjon said.Hanggang hindi SC ang mag uutos na bumaba sya,hindi sya aalis sa kapitolyo

Kaya po sa mga nagtatanong if ano ba talaga ang role ng Capital City sa entire province eh itong isyu na to ang isa,Pag nagkagulo sa Capitolyo mapipilay ang buong province,in terms of administration,finance,education,health,economy,dahil yung mismong kabisera/capitolyo na syang nag aadminister sa buong lalawigan e nagkakagulo gaya nito

DENR’s order suspending mining in historic Biak-na-Bato lauded (http://businessmirror.com.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=21863:denrs-order-suspending-mining-in-historic-biak-na-bato-lauded&catid=45:regions&Itemid=71)

CITY OF MALOLOS—Bulacan Gov. Jonjon Mendoza lauded the suspension order issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to stop mining operations in the historic Biak-na-Bato in the mountainous town of Doña Remedios Trinidad.

The unified voice and efforts of the Bulacan provincial government, local residents of San Miguel and concerned nongovernment organizations calling for the stoppage of mining operations in the said national park have paid off, said Mendoza.

On Jan. 28 the DENR ordered the suspension of mining and quarrying operations within the contract area of Rosemoor Mining and Development Corp. (RMDC) in Biak-na-Bato under Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) 188-2002-III.

The DENR issued the suspension pending the investigation of the DENR team on the alleged destruction of road networks, natural water sources, flora and fauna, natural barriers to calamities, and violations of terms and conditions in RMDC’s MPSA.

The department also raised the internal conflict as to who is the authorized president of RMDC.

A two-page decision signed by acting DENR head Eleazar Quinto cited that unresolved controversies involving RMDC cause deterioration of the operational and environmental situation in the area.

The suspension will only be lifted depending on the result of the comprehensive investigation by the DENR on the impacts of mining and quarrying operation on the area and the final resolution of the pertinent cases in the courts.

While Mendoza and all proenvironment advocates in the province welcomed this development, the governor is hoping that the DENR will arrive at a fair resolution that will favor the protection and preservation of Biak-na-Bato.

Mendoza maintained a strong opposition to quarrying operations in Bulacan through the Crusade to Save Biak-na-Bato Movement initiated by his sister, former governor Josie de la Cruz in 2006.

In the SJDM Case,Mayor lang ang pinababa ng COMELEC,kya hindi apektado ang buong probinsya,Kaso ngayon hindi naman mayor ng malolos ang pinabababa ng COMELEC,kundi GOVERNOR OF BULACAN,who ruled the 21 towns of Bulacan,di maxado apektado 3 Cities (Malolos,SJDM,Meycauayan) kasi may sariling charter sila at independent na sa legislative and administration unlike the remaining 21 towns.pag lumalala ito,pati budget ng mga bayan madedelay

im not just referring to bulacan per se... im referring to the whole nation, na kabi-kabila ang tanggalan sa mga pwesto ng mga elected governors and mayors favoring the administration. that's what i am saying conspiracy na who knows?? will create again the national chuvanes ever... hahaha

*SJDM not included due to absence of data from COA's 2008 Annual Financial Report

^^ progressive po ang balagtas.
pero i doubt nga why pinag isa ang numbers ng marilao at balagtas.

Progressive, certainly yes but comparable to Marilao's performance that I really cant tell. Surely, isa lang sa dalawa ang talagang may ari ng figures na yun and IMO, between Marilao and Balagtas, definitely Marilao yung may-ari ng figures na yun. Namali lang ng encode ang COA dyan for sure kasi napakaimposible na pareho ang kinita at nagastos (up to the last digit) ng 2 bayan sa Bulacan.

Nope, wag kang mag doubt kung malaki kinikita ng Balagtas. Minsan na itong tinawag na "The Business Capital of Bulacan" (surprisingly akala ko Malolos) because of the big companies resides in town and it's strategic location. Kitang kita naman na kaya kumikita ang Marilao dahil sa SM. Pero kung wala ang SM, i doubt na kumikita ang Marilao. Wayback nung wala ang SM Marilao, yung maliit na palengke at ilang mga establishments lang nandon. Ang Balagtas, 24/7 buhay na buhay ang palengke, maraming mga establishments, maraming maraming mga ruaral and commercial banks and cooperatives dati pa. Minsan na din itong tinawag na, "Small Town, Big Time".

Both in Agriculture and Commercial businesses kumikita ang maliit na munisipalidad na ito. Dagdagan mo pa ng Metal and Furniture factory. The Pascual Lab, Minerva Feeds, DIGITEL Central Business Office of Bulacan, the NFA warehouse, and yun nga yung Balagtas Public Market, etc.

But of course, yung same figures nila, doubtly talaga. Sino ba naman ang 2 municipality eh same figures. For sure sa Marilao yan BUT i think they're close.
Anyway, hahabol na ang Balagtas dahil sa Robinsons and NFEX sabayan pa nung Plaridel spur and Balagtas Interchange para magboost ng access sa town na ito.

Humahataw na ang Sta. Maria, from P216.08M nung 2007 naging P278.63M na. Naagaw na ulit ang trono sa Marilao!. GO STA. MARIA, the richest municipality in Bulacan!

just want to share this photo, i took last sunday sa Immaculate Conception Parish sa Sta. Maria http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2803/4380057327_ac0f9728cc_b.jpg

gandang ganda talaga ako sa oculus ng Immaculate Conception Parish

not doubting Balagtas' capability, i just don't think na in 2008, yun na yung income ng Balagtas. though i must agree na favorable talaga sa Balagtas ang mga investments these days.

Both in Agriculture and Commercial businesses kumikita ang maliit na munisipalidad na ito. Dagdagan mo pa ng Metal and Furniture factory. The Pascual Lab, Minerva Feeds, DIGITEL Central Business Office of Bulacan, the NFA warehouse, and yun nga yung Balagtas Public Market, etc.

But of course, yung same figures nila, doubtly talaga. Sino ba naman ang 2 municipality eh same figures. For sure sa Marilao yan BUT i think they're close.
Anyway, hahabol na ang Balagtas dahil sa Robinsons and NFEX sabayan pa nung Plaridel spur and Balagtas Interchange para magboost ng access sa town na ito.

And that was 2008 data, what more with the 2009 data. 2009 lang nag-start ang operation ng Waltermart - and i guess malaking increase at tulong ito sa income ng Sta. Maria coming from corporate taxes. Pero baka nakaapekto din ang Ondoy sa income ng Sta. Maria since nasira ang tulay ng Catmon (access ng Motolite palabas ng Sta. Maria, motolite is the highest corporate tax payer ng sta.maria to date)


Humahataw na ang Sta. Maria, from P216.08M nung 2007 naging P278.63M na. Naagaw na ulit ang trono sa Marilao!. GO STA. MARIA, the richest municipality in Bulacan!

for sure lalagpas na sa P300M ang income ng sta.maria sa 2009 figures. bkt wlang sjdm?

dunno. Wala kasi sa in-upload na pdf file ng COA - wala sa record ang City of SJDM ang nandun lang sa Region 3 ay yung City of San Jose (Nueva Ecija)

Police intensifies anti-prostitution campaign in Bocaue (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=260650)

BOCAUE, Bulacan, Feb. 24 (PNA) -- As part of their continuing anti-prostitution campaign, police authorities have conducted a series of inspection of night establishments in Barangay Lolomboy here Tuesday night.

The police padlocked nine beer houses and arrested 15 women working as guest relations officers (GROs).

In a report to Bulacan acting police director Senior Supt. Edgardo Tinio, Bocaue police chief Supt. Ronaldo de Jesus said that the beer houses were being used as fronts for prostitution.

He also said that the "honky-tonk" bars were padlocked for violating the provisions of PD 856 (sanitation code) and for operating without business permits.

De Jesus said charges are being readied against the arrested GROs and maintainers of the establishments. (PNA)

LP CANDIDATE AND NOY-MAR TANDEM WITH ACTOR DINGDONG DANTES BINULABOG ANG LUNGSOD NG SAN JOSE DEL MONTE.

BULACAN, Philippines -- Actor Dingdong Dantes on Monday joined Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III's campaign rally here held in San Jose del Monte City's town plaza.

Dantes was wearing a black polo shirt when he appeared on stage but he removed his top to reveal his yellow shirt.

The actor, along with a rapper, gave a short sing and dance number that made the crowd wild.

After the number, Dantes also gave a brief speech, endorsing Aquino's bid, his running mate, Senator Manuel Roxas II, and his senatorial ticket.

Roxas was present and some Liberal Party's senatorial bets like former Senator Ralph Recto, former congressman Nereus Acosta, Bukidnon Representative Teofisto Guingona III, Akbayan Representative Risa Hontiveros, and Martin Bautista.

Dantes described the Aquino-Roxas tandem as a "symbol of hope and change."

Before Dantes, comedy actor- turned-politician Dennis Padilla also gave a song number.

i guess you must've misinterpreted my posts.

"dunno. Wala kasi sa in-upload na pdf file ng COA - wala sa record ang City of SJDM ang nandun lang sa Region 3 ay yung City of San Jose" doesnt entirely mean walang data ang SJDM, my answer to secaundis question is simply, wala sa in-upload na file ng COA (simple)

and i simply put no data in my summary because there really is no data from the summary i got from COA. perhaps you can check the link i posted so you can see for yourself.

Good for you to find CSJDM data though - perhaps you might be interested in making the summary for all three cities in Bulacan now that you've found your city's data. :)

Malapit, halos yung part sa harap is walang parking. Nasa likod ang parking lot. Ang pasukan nasa rightmost niya. Hindi ko kasi makuhanan ng buo yung building. Pero imagine mo na lang yan. Left Wing (leftmost sa pic) Main building (First Block - middle sa pic, Middle Block - left sa pic) tapos lagyan mo ng Second block next to it, then Right Wing. So Left Wing (pwede ding Northwing), Main Building, and Right Wing (pwede ding southwing).
