People who grumble and complain are the ones who are left behind

By Sunday Post
    
    Do not be distracted by negative people. 
    This was the message of Tagbilaran Mayor Dan Lim as the city approaches the observance of its 43rd year as a Charter City. 
    "People who grumble and complain are the ones who are left behind," Lim said yesterday. 
    The mayor issued the statement as he acknowledged that the bad publicity against him will intensify with the elections barely 11 months away. 
    "If you think you have heard every trash spoken against me, it is nothing to what my political opponents will throw at me in the next few months," he added. 
    Lim said that there are people who will do anything just to remove him from office and they will resort to anything, "through fair means or foul" just to do it. 
    "Of course, I will not take it sitting down," he warned. 
    The mayor said that if his critics want a fight, they have it. 
    He said he lamented the fact that the city and the people are caught in the middle between him and those who have personal issues with him. 
    "It is no longer about good governance, because we have proven that, but because they want the position that the people have given to me," he added. 
    The mayor said that as proof of the commitment to good governance of his administration, many local government units come to Tagbilaran in order to adopt applicable systems. 
    "The irony is that while people from other places are praising Tagbilaran for what it is doing, there are people who want to destroy the name of the city for their own selfish interest," he added. 
    The mayor said he is pleased that although there are some who are being misled into believing the unfounded allegations against him, a solid majority remain supportive to him and his goals. 
    "After they have thrown everything, majority of the people are still loyal to my administration," he added. 
    Lim urged the people to rally behind good governance and asked them to be actively involved. 
    "If you want progress and development, you must actively work to reject those who want to destroy our city," he added. 
    The mayor said the objective of those who are behind the bad publicity is to scare away investors. 
    Lim noted that the real casualty is the poor who are deprived of work opportunities as a result. 
    "It is good that we have investors like Ko Beng Sum, Ricardo Lim and Juan Apostol who refused to be discouraged by the harassment that they encountered," he added. 
    The mayor said that if the people allow the trouble-makers to harass and intimidate potential investors, they will be the biggest losers. 
    "We should unite against those who are undermining the progress, development and the very future of Tagbilaran," he concluded.

Fast Website Speed Affects Google Search Ranking

Over the course of 2009, a consistent theme that Google has been involved with is that of speed. In announcement after announcement, Google has talked about the importance of speed on the web, and how the company wants to do everything it can to make the web a faster place. Has it occurred to you that how fast your page loads may have a direct effect on how your site ranks in Google?  Don't worry, it hasn't had an impact...yet. In an interview with WebProNews , Google's Matt Cutts told us that speed may soon be a ranking factor.  "Historically, we haven't had to use it in our search rankings, but a lot of people within Google think that the web should be fast," says Cutts. "It should be a good experience, and so it's sort of fair to say that if you're a fast site, maybe you should get a little bit of a bonus. If you really have an awfully slow site, then maybe users don't want that as much." "I think a lot of people in 2010 are g...

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one ...
