Habagat’s Hamog 50 L Review

I bought my Hamog 50 L in Habagat Recto for Php 3,060 as Ate Jamee (Ms. Tindera) gave me a 10% discount. The original price was Php.3,400 (pero parang lahat naman yata binibigyan niya ng diskwento. Hihi!) Thank you again Ate Jamee!

My first pack was bought from an Ukay-ukay store in Tagaytay City. It was cheap and good for a noob. My back hurts after every climb and I found it hard to distribute the weight so I started hating it. I used it for almost one year and a half. After climbing Mt. Tarak Ridge, I decided to buy a new adventure pack that I’ll be using for future escapades. One time, I borrowed Andre, my fellow climber’s pack, the Sigbin 50. Consequently, I realized the importance of a pack with an internal frame for support, protection and proper weight distribution. I was planning to buy Sigbin 50 or a Margaja at Habagat but when I’m at the store, I became interested with their Hamog 50 L. It also has an internal frame and it’s much alike with Sigbin 50 excluding the suspension, front pocket (and other bag parts I haven’t observed).

The size of Hamog 50 L is 22 x 32 x 76 cm. Fabric is Kodra and or Nylon Pack cloth. Suspension is fixed and padded. It is good for backpacking, long trips, weekend trips and semi-technical climbing. I’ve used it only twice, at the Ambangeg-Ambangeg Trail at Mt. Pulag and New Trail-Old Trail at Mt. Batulao. It was very comfortable at very steep trails like at the Rockies to the peak of Mt. Batulao. It can perfectly accommodate my earth pad, tent, foods, 3 sets of clothes, stove, 3 liters of water, etc. Hamog also automatically balances my body and I feel like it embraces me every time I wear it. It impeccably fits with my back, you just have to adjust the straps and belt. The top compartment and side pockets are good. I haven’t tried the hydration hole but it seem to be like other pack’s H2(hOles). The Shoulder Harness, Chest Strap / Sternum Strap, Hip Belt, Inner and Outer Pockets Configuration, Splash Cover and Spindrift Collar, handles and other straps is perfect in my opinion. A large plastic bag inside is suggested for waterproofing. I guess it’s the most affordable, original and useful 50 L locally made pack for a semi-pro mountaineer like me.

I am satisfied with my Hamog 50 L as of now and so far, I have no negative impression with it. I also suggest that if you guys plan to buy an outdoor equipments or clothing, please patronize our local products.

Ang Aking Php 320.00 Postal ID

Kailangan ko ng valid I.D. Expired na kasi ang school I.D. ko kasi nga hindi na naman ako estudyante. Sinubukan kong kunin ang Voter's I.D. subalit hindi pa daw ito naiimprenta at walang matinong rason akong narinig sa mga tauhan ng munisipyo na may koneksyon sa COMELEC nang kausapin ko sila. Malapit na kasi yata ang eleksyon kaya mabilis ang proseso ng pagrehistro at pag-imprenta ng ID. Astig! Wala akong ibang pagpipilian kundi ang kumuha ng Postal I.D.

Narito ang iyong kailangan sa tuwing kukuha ng Postal ID:

1. Barangay Clearance
2. Cedula (Residence Certificate)
3. Pansuportang Dokumento

• Sertifiko ng Kapanganakan (NSO Authentication)

• Sertifiko ng Pagpapakasal (kung may asawa) (NSO Authentication)

4. NBI Clearance
5. 2 piraso ng Pasaporteng larawan na may puting
6. Aplikasyon na certified ng Punong Barangay

Narito ang halimbawa ng Application Form for Postal ID
Matapos kong makumpleto ang mga requirements ay dagli ko itong sinumite sa Postal Office. Mabilis naman ang proseso at wala pang 30 minuto ay tapos na agad ito. Medyo old school nga lang sapagkat typewriter ang gamit sa pag-imprenta ng aking personal na informasyon. Sumablay lang sa pagkakabaybay o ispel ng "Village". Naging "B" ang "V" kaya "Billage" ang nakalagay sa aking ID. Pinabago ko ito, ok naman sa kanila na baguhin (dapat lang!). Nabasa ko sa Application form na kailangan kong magbayad ng Php 175.00. Buong Php 500.00 ang inabot ko sa lalaking nag-ayos ng aking ID. Nagulat ako ng biglang...

Postal Officer: (nakangiti) heto po ang sukli serrr.
Ako: Bakit 270 pesos lang to'? (mahinahon kong sinambit)
Postal Officer: 320 pesos fo ser ang postal ID..
Ako: Huh?! 175 pesos ang fee sabi sa Application form (humingi ako ng isa pang application form at nagtaka sapagkat parehas ng form number ang form number ng ipinasa kong form. Nasa itaas ang tinutukoy kong form)

..lumipas ang ilang segundo at tila yata naging hangin ang kausap ko.
Ako: Diba 175 pesos lang? Pahingi po ng resibo. (medyo napikon ako at lumakas ang boses, napatingin sa akin ang ilan sa opisyales ng munisipyo)
Postal Officer: NJBGFTRD atorneh..SEDRFHJJNGNBV kapag resibo CGVBYHNJ wala talagang ganun SDFGHCTVUB...!@#$%^&*( (hindi ko kasi naintindihan ang paliwanag nya sa akin)
Ako: Huh?!

Napansin kong masama na ang tingin sa akin ng ilan sa nakarinig ng aming usapan. Nagpasalamat ako sa kanya na medyo sarcastic sabay ngiti. Sinubukan kong kunin ang kaniyang pangalan subalit bigla niya akong tinalikuran. Pagsilip ko rin sa kanilang opisina ay nakatingin sa akin ang mga opisyales habang nagbubulungan. Umalis na lamang ako sapagkat may iba pa akong pupuntahan at late na din ako.

*Naisip kong magtanong at magreklamo sa nakatataas na opisyal ng munisipyo subalit nagdalawang isip ako. Nawalan na din kasi ako ng tiwala sa mga tauhan ng munisipyo. Malay ko ba kung tropa din niya ang makausap ko. Ipagpapatuloy ko na lang ang pag-iimbestiga sa mga susunod na araw.

*Hindi ko direktang sinasabi na may nangyayaring korapsyon pero kayo na ang bahalang humusga. Ang ipinagtataka ko lamang ay kung bakit hindi sila nagbibigay ng resibo at kung bakit ang Php 175.00 ay naging Php 320.00.

Likha

90 milyon ang tao sa Pilipinas. 90 porsyento ang Kristiyanong Pilipino. Isa ka ba sa 90 porsyento na yun?

"God does exist" yan ang paniniwala ng karamihan sa atin. " Isa ka ba sa naniniwala dito?

Ayon sa Bibliya:

Genesis 1: 1-2:3

• First day: God creates light ("Let there be light!")
  
• Second day: God creates a firmament ("Let a firmament be...!") - to divide the waters above from the waters below. The firmament is named "heavens".
• Third day: God commands the waters below to be gathered together in one place, and dry land to appear (the third command). "Earth" and "sea" are named. God commands the earth to bring forth grass, plants, and fruit-bearing trees (the fourth command).
• Fourth day: God creates lights in the firmament (the fifth command) to separate light from darkness and to mark days, seasons and years. Two great lights are made (most likely the Sun and Moon, but not named), and the stars.
• Fifth day: God commands the sea to "teem with living creatures", and birds to fly across the heavens (sixth command); He creates birds and sea creatures, and commands them to be fruitful and multiply.
• Sixth day: God commands the land to bring forth living creatures (seventh command); He makes wild beasts, livestock and reptiles. He then creates Man and Woman in His "image" and "likeness" (eighth command). They are told to "be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it." Humans and animals are given plants to eat. The totality of creation is described by God as "very good."
• Seventh day: God, having completed the heavens and the earth, rests from His work, and blesses and sanctifies the seventh day.

Yan ang itinuturo sa simbahan, tahanan at ibang paaralan. Sumasang-ayon ka dito panidurado.

Pero bakit marami sa atin ang nagkukunwaring bulag, pipi, bingi at manhid?

O sige na nga ginawa na ng diyos ang tao. Mahaba-habang debate kasi kung ito ang pag-uusapan. Pero siguro naman hindi ginawa upang maging makasarili.

Maraming ''creation theory". Este "theories" pala. Creationism!

Pero isa lang ang sinasang-ayunan ko sa maraming theories ng paglikha.

"Nilikha ang ating mata upang maging mulat sa katotohanan at kagandahan ng mundo, ginawa ang ating tenga upang makinig at umintindi gamit ang bukas na isipan, nilikha ang ating bibig upang isigaw ang katotohanan at ibulong ang pag-ibig, ginawa ang ating karapatan para ipaglaban at ginawa tayong mga tao upang maging makatao. At kung sinuman ang totoong lumikha ng sanlibutan, taos puso ang aking pasasalamat!"

The Tragedy of Philippine Education

(Photo taken during a provincial youth consultation May 30, 2009)

(Privilege Speech of Kabataan Party-list Rep. Mong Palatino June 7, 2009)
reposted from www.tinig.com

Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues:

As I speak today, preparations and enrolment for the coming school year are already in progress. The Department of Education once again adopted a “business-as-usual” attitude in explaining preparations for the school opening. DepEd claims the government is prepared for the school opening but the dismal state of classrooms and facilities and the severe shortage of teachers in public elementary and high schools nationwide say otherwise.

Days from now, we expect the Commission on Higher Education to do the same routine of back-to-school lip service to cover up for its negligence and apparent gross failure to regulate unabated school fee hikes and its conspiracy with some school owners.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on behalf of fellow young Filipinos who are being robbed of their right to education and their future.

When classes open in June, many school-age children and youth will not be in school.

I am alarmed over the sharp decline in the preliminary enrolment figures for the current school year. This highlights the huge disparity between the increasing cost of education in the country and the financial capacity of Filipino families to send their children to school.

A study of the Department of Education shows that 96.77 percent of elementary school-age children go to school while 66.06 percent of high school-age teenagers go to secondary school.

But the same report reveals that for every 100 students who enroll in the 1st grade, 33 drop out before reaching Grade 5 and 31 out of 100 high school freshmen drop out before reaching their senior year. The trend for the past ten years show that for every 10 pupils who enroll in grade school, only 7 graduate.

Government statistics show that for the past years there was a steady increase in total school enrollment. True. But there were also an increasing proportion of elementary school-age children who remained out of school, based on the most recent Philippine assessment report on the Millennium Development Goals.

In school year 2005-2006, almost 65 percent of six-year old children did not begin their primary education on time. The cohort survival rate was placed at 76 percent in 2001 but it went down to 70 percent in 2006. The completion rate was 75 percent in 2001 but it also went down to 68 percent in the same period. The drop-out rate and repetition rate also deteriorated in the same report.

Students drop out because of poverty. While basic education is free, many poor families are unable to finance the auxiliary school needs of their children, which, according to our computation would cost around P15,000 to P20,000 per student.

Mr. Speaker, saan naman kukuhanin ng ating mga estudyante at kanilang mga magulang ang halagang ito gayong wala na halos makain sa pang-araw-araw? (ang kasunod...)

I tried photography. I came up with the pictures above.

Johan said "morbid as usual."
Paula and Nina said "creepy/katakot"

Nica said "Gago ka! Siraulo. Ano to aestheticization din?!? P.I."
Third Batsu said "swak sa pornography este photography pala"
RedBurn said "Compliments..especially the thing Nica said. Thanks!

I also tried film. It was posted on Gatsulat TV. Sir Roel Cantada is so great.
He said "It appears that the original upload needs to be watched in "high quality". Production quality is excellent, both sound and camera. No jitter whatsoever. McDivith reminds me of the clown in Spawn :-D. Great work".

Minsan may nagbuhat ng sariling bangko at ako yata yun. Ha-ha!

4 Reasons Why We Should Oppose the Construction of San Mateo Landfill

(Greenpeace statement on the construction of the San Mateo landfill)
Greenpeace Southeast Asia Toxics Campaigner Beau Baconguis said:

1. Location. San Mateo is located within the Marikina Watershed Reservation and the larger Laguna Lake Water Basin. Any waste facility located within the municipality therefore poses serious pollution threats to the groundwater sources and surrounding river systems such as the Marikina River which feeds into Laguna Lake.

2. Establishing a sanitary landfill within the Marikina watershed will severely compromise the water quality of surrounding water sources and Laguna Lake as well as the health of communities that depend on them. Even so-called 'sanitary landfills' create toxic leachates which escape into the environment and contaminate air, soil and water.

3. "The San Mateo landfill clearly flouts Presidential Proclamation No. 2146 which declares watershed reserves as environmentally critical areas, as well as section 40e of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Law (Republic Act 9003) which states that the location of a landfill must not 'detrimentally affect environmentally sensitive resources such as aquifer, groundwater reservoir or watershed area'.

4. "Greenpeace is therefore calling for an immediate stop to the construction of the San Mateo waste facility as an urgent and much needed step to protect the country's dwindling freshwater resources. What is needed is for waste reduction, segregation at source and recycling, as mandated in the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, to be seriously implemented in order to address the waste issue and the need for landfills eliminated."

Last year pa ko tinitext ni Carlo (a friend of mine na greenpeace member) about this. Sa palagay ko ay kailangan ngang itigil ang construction ng Landfill sapagkat mayroon itong negative consequences; una, nakasalalay ang kalusugan ng mamayan ng Rizal at ikalawa, labag ito sa batas pangkalikasan. Sana lang ay lubos na maintindihan ng mga nasa posisyon ang mga negatibong posibilidad kasi ako na simpleng mamamayan naiintindihan ko yun..bakit kaya sila di nila maintindihan yun? ?!? P!@#$% mga b@#$!!! Kainin nyo sarili nyong basura...d!@#$%!!!! Mga b@su$%^& u$%^&!

petition for the workers of kowloon

INSTRUCTIONS: Please read the petition first before signing INSTRUCTIONS:/ Please sign by writing your NAME/SCHOOL/PLACE OF WORK/WEBSITE[if any]/ORGANIZATION & Position[if any]) INSTRUCTIONS: Whenever the signatures reach to a hundred (ex. 100, 200, 300 and so forth), please forward to solidarity125.up.diliman@gmail.com

INSTRUCTIONS: For more information, please email us at solidarity125.up.diliman@gmail.com

We, the undersigned, support the ongoing strike of the workers of the Kowloon Restaurant in West Avenue, Quezon City. We support the strike as a legitimate way for the workers to defend their rights, in the face of a Restaurant Management that has violated minimum wage laws, and a National Labor Relations Commission that does not base its decisions on the Law it is supposed to uphold. We support the workers in their call for the Management to follow minimum wage laws. As of present, the minimum wage for workers in the National Capital Region is at P382. Yet, before the workers held picket-protests last June 20-21, the 2 most recent wage hikes (amounting to P82) were not being implemented by the Management. We support the workers in their call for the National Labor Relations Commission to reverse its decision calling the picket-protests an “illegal strike”. The Labor Code clearly states that a strike is a “disruption of operations”. Yet, the pickets were held outside the workers’ work hours, and away from the entrances of the Restaurant. This decision is the supposed legal basis for firing all 73 workers who are members of their union. We support the workers in calling for the reinstatement all 73 of them who were fired for simply exercising their rights to free speech and peaceful assembly, rights that are enshrined in our Constitution. We call on the Department of Labor and Employment, and other concerned Government agencies, to investigate and take action on the following: the Management’s violation of the minimum wage (including paying all its contractual employees a minimum daily wage of P250), the unjust decision of the NLRC, the illegal termination of the 73 workers, and the presence of policemen that violate the Labor Code’s banning of policemen and military within 50 meters of any picket line. MOST IMPORTANTLY, we urge all our fellow Filipinos to support the strike of the Kowloon workers by boycotting the Kowloon Restaurant until the Management reinstates the 73 workers, and pays them the Minimum Wage that is mandated by law. We urge everyone to sign this petition and forward it to everyone they know, until it reaches concerned authorities. Signed,

CALAMBA CITY, Philippines -- A Tagaytay regional trial court (RTC) on Thursday ordered the release of five farmers, known as the “Tagaytay 5,” who were arrested by the military and accused of being communist rebels out to launch a terror attack on Labor Day in 2006.

SONA Southern Tagalog

Ngayong Hulyo 28, inilunsad ng Pangulo ang ikawalo niyang State of the Nation Address (SONA), dito inilahad ng ating ang kalagayan ng bansa at mamamayan.

Subalit ayon sa Bayan Muna Southern Tagalog ito ang ginagamit na lugar upang maglubid ng estadistika at itago ang tunay na kalagayan ng mahirap na sambayanan.

Narito ang ilan sa mga eksena na naganap sa SONA ST.

Nag-alay ng awitin ang "Kumasa"

Taimtim na nakikinig, taimtim na nagliliyab.

Malayang pagpapahayag ng damdamin, mundo ng masa na inaalipin

Hindi mo ba napapansin? o hindi ka lang mulat?

Ikaw na may baril, ikaw na kumitil, bukas ng umaga..
may bangkay na naman ulit ng aktibista na nakahandusay sa pilapil.

Mga tiyan ng kongresistang tumataba, presyo ng LPG ibaba.

Sa harap at sa likod, sa kahirapan ay maraming naluluod

Bata man, mayroon na silang pakialam...
siguraduhin lang na inyong akda ay inyong naiintindihan.

Kung may magagawa lang sana upang ang mga bata ay wala na sa kalsada,
kanilang isipan ay mga hilaw pa, subalit malupit na karanasan ay natamasa na.

Mayroong bomba (Sisa) sa bawat masang Filipina,
Na malapit nang pumutok sa kaibuturan ng mga utak dahil sa pagsasamantala.

Oust!

Iwagayway, bayan muna
Itaas ang kaliwang kamay, ipaglaban ang karapatan ng mga buhay.

Maraming galamay, maraming isyung nagbibgay ng lumbay.

Gusto din nilang maging masaya, magkalaman ang tiyan..
gusto lang nilang madama ang sarap sa pagiging buhay, na nararamdaman na lang nila sa pamamaraang pag-ibig sa bayan...

*I am still digesting the SONA of Pres. Gloria Arroyo.. ayoko munang magcomment about dun. Sana pati yung boses ng masa bigyan ng pansin ng maraming Pilipino...kung mabibigyan lang sana natin ng pagkakataon. Sana ay marunong ka ding umibig (hindi self centered love or pag-ibig sa syota mong makitid ang utak ang tinutukoy).

Peace Pilipinas!

ABSENCE OF ARIANNE

Where has Arianne been? I'm talking about one of the writers here in Gatsulat. This is my reply to those who emailed me and even sent me death notes begging me to bring back Arianne...as if I am hiding her. Please let me live in peace. This is the reason why she can't post recently:

April15 to May19, 2008 = Practicum at Hacienda Yulo (paglubog sa komunidad / mass integration)

Labor Day - Calamba, Laguna

Cultural Presentation of Alay Sining

Hapunan sa bahay sa Hacienda Yulo

Ang Palikuran na Iniyakan

I asked Arianne how she is right now and this is her reply:

"ok naman ako.. nahahagard na sobra, excited, nalulungkot sa pagkawala ni Ka Bel, busy sa ipapasang requirements at overdosed na ako sa caffeine."


Kudos Arianne!
