Adventures of a Hijo de Pongol: 2015

Jogging Jogging pag may time

I have an occasional need to "jog", or so I thought. Here in Tandag City, the roads are recently asphalted. I would like to say, that the city is starting to get neat. That would be good for the coffers because the asphalt was an over lay on the concrete high-way.

Now going back to the jogging, I cannot help but always look on the road side as the sea is just way within 30-50 meters from the road. From my place to Surigao Del Sur State University, it is about 5.2 kilometers from my place. Since its been a while since my last "jog", Most of the time I am walking. I am like, okay this should improve.

Let me contemplate for now as I am munching my breakfast thinking, how ironic, that as much as I would love to exercise, My Love for Good Food is always a hurdle!!!

Enjoy the Photo's. I will post some soon for Surigao Del Sur.

The Mindanao Adventure

I will engage in a mission in Mindanao Island. Specifically to the area that face the Pacific Ocean and the brunt of our ever changing climate.

New adventure for Hijo, and this is moving towards reaching out and make a difference.

Travelling from Negros Occidental to Manila, then to Davao City then Tagum City to Tandag City, Surigao Del Sur last March 2015 reminds me of good old days jaunts and journeys. Looking to the road going to Surigao del Sur at the back of my mind I am saying, this Province is on the right track. Roads are very essential to the logistical and economic activities of any location.

Anyway, I am very excited for the fact that this is a budding province where great potentials can happen, laidback yet willing to move forward (much like home Negros). We can only guess as when would this happen, it would really depend on what kind of development the people of Surigao Del Sur would want. We can all hope for a climate resilient options. As to what are those, we will be finding that out.

I am here to work in partnership with the Local Government in building resiliency. Building Resiliency- BIG WORDS!!! This is a big task, my stay here will be in four years(hopefully) and many things can happen in four years, with the constant threat from our ever changing climate and the challenges of inclusive growth and the external pressures of the world economy, this province would need all necessary effort and cooperation from within to keep up and definitely move as resilient.

Anyway, just enjoy the photo's of Surigao Del Sur below. I hope this would help my fellow bloggers and you my audience to go here and pay this blessed province a visit.
