Eco-tourism destination in Leyte

An amount of P1.3 million has been allocated by the local government unit (LGU) of Tabango in Leyte province to develop its eco-tourism destination to attract more local and foreign tourists to visit their place and experience the many natural attractions that are entirely unique from what they have seen in other places of the country.
This was revealed by Mayor Bernard Jonathan "Ben Jo" Remandaban recently in a telephone interview with PIA.
He said that part of the amount will be used to develop Mt. Kantur-aw, on of the tourist destinations in Tabango town visited most frequently by foreign tourists.
Mayor Remandaban further revealed that a stairway of some 600 steps is now undergoing construction that will lead to the topmost part of Mt. Kantur-aw which is about 200 meters from the ground level of the town which is now 90% nearing completion.
Likewise, part of the plan to develop this particular tourist spot is the construction of cottages atop where tourists may relax and savor the pleasure of getting a real touch with nature.
Since this natural scenic attraction is overlooking the town of Tabango, one can also view some tourist attractions in Cebu which are located just across.
Moreover, he said that telescopes will be put up to enable tourists to get a clear view of other tourist spots in nearby places.
Mt. Kantur-aw will then be named Tabango Observatory Point Summit.
Also, to get a good part of the budget allocation for tourism development in the Municipality of Tabango is the improvement and development of the "Dagkotanan", a place where people offer candles and prayers of thanksgiving and for their petitions of all sorts to be granted by God Almighty.

Bohol's Che Delos Reyes Avoids Drug Test, Sparks Public Suspicision

by Sunday Post Bohol Gov. Chatto negative for drugs but where's Che? Is she a false accuser? Gov. Edgar Chatto has tested negative for illegal drugs or any dangerous substances in separate credible examinations to which his falsely accusing political opponent did not submit herself. Not even a shadow of gubernatorial contender and Carmen Mayor Conchita De los Reyes did turn up for the twin drug tests at the state hospital and police crime laboratories on Monday. Many thought should she refuse examination for reason she only could tell, her mere presence would have saved her from inexcusable flak for her own dangerous gimmick that the governor is "engaged in illegal drug activities." Both the laboratory analyses of the Gov. Celestino Gallares Memorial Hospital (GCGMH) and Philippine National Police (PNP) Crime Laboratory at Camp Dagohoy proved Chatto to have not indulged in prohibited drugs. As a consequence, the moral authority and ascendancy of the reelectionist govern...

Global Hunger: 1 Billion People Hungry

By Bingo Dejaresco III It is not our imagination, folks. It is the United Nation's Food Council who drew the number. There are one billion hungry men in Planet Earth today. One of six earthlings suffer from malnutrition today. Last year in 2008, there were only 915 million recorded hungry earthlings then. War and political instability, drought and food crisis had brought this tragedy to us. When food production stabilized late last year, the global financial crisis however, in turn, lowered income levels and prejudiced access of men to food instead. This, aside from the fact, that food prices in the world had really effectively increased by 24%, a hot ratio, from 2006 to 2008. Malnutrition means a person receives less than 1,800 calories a day. This depravity, according to the UN, caused food riots in 30 countries recently. Malnutrition leads to slow death in that it weakens the immune system against battling germs that cause sickness and diseases. Malnutrition kills man softly....
