Hello Jake you really have strong desire for the good of Ilongo … , most here are contented and very meek people as distinctive mark of our ethnicity … They should have done ” right things in a right way ” so as to give way to progress . Generally, Ilongos are so fond of foreigners yet Yet arrogance and pride made koreans displeasing to us…

Davao would be a good example to follow in many ways. Five years ago, Iloilo was a nicer place than Davao. Now, Davao has left Iloilo in its dust. Start by asking how they did it.

Indi ko nami-an diri, apang luyag ko magmanami ang aton banwa (bisan indi ako bisan Pilipino). Iloilonon dapat bugalon sa maayo, apang kon ka isa ang bugal labot sing malaw-ay. For example, there are people who are proud of their short temper, ukon kadlaw nila kon may reklamo ang mga dumulu-ong, like when they cover their ears because things are too loud or they are irritated with the inconsideration, kadlaw lamang sila daw cute ang ila annoyance. *Sigh* Hambal ko ini kay tu-od gid maluyag ko magmanami ang banwa tuhoy ang tanan, bisan foreigner ukon Ilonggo.

I agree with some comments here that a campaign to educate people about the biodiversity of Panay and help them feel proud of the right things would be a great start. Ilonggos are a very strong-willed people. They can never be forced to do anything, but if they could be made to see for themselves the beauty and benefit of doing things the RIGHT way and not destroying the future just for a quick profit, they might cooperate.

That’s my two cents. I’m a foreigner, and I love you guys. Don’t take it the wrong way, mga abyan. ;-)

Palagas ko pa, daw ma ORMOC kita haw? That’s great! We will have more Americans and Foreign aid visiting us to give donations of rice water and pittance. Wow! We shall be famous! The world over.
We shall outdo ORMOC. More deaths and casualties without landslides pa yan ha!

Apparently the flood control project is an enormous wastage of scarce financial resources and a vain hope for Ilonggos. We don’t need to build rivers where there are none while we encroach in the pathway of waterways, rivers and streams, filling it up with malls, buildings, subdivisions, night spots. When you go against nature,you are doomed. There will be more storms, typhoons, floods and deaths coming. You shall be the next casualty. Inom ka na beer. Sa langit wala beer. Sa impyerno wala beer. Gasolina gadaba daba.seriously, each and every Ilonggo should band together to reforest the Mountain Ranges of Panay which is our rooftop. When it rains the gutter drains to our surrounding cities. The land area of the Mountain Ranges is far wider than the land areas of the lowlands. With no forest cover to act as absorbent cotton to the torrents of rains, water seeks its own level at the lowlands in a violent gush of flash floods which we recently encountered. Spend the money on sustainable and intensive reforestation. No corruption please. Congressmen and Mayors and politicos, corrupt or non-corrupt alike can’t escape judgement day of Apo Madjaas. Repent or you will be doomed and tortured by Neptunic wrath. Each Panayanon should plant every year of his remaining life and nurture to surival an equivalent of 5,000 trees yearly. The time to start is NOW! Agad agad! Insigida. Ara dayun! Ga gal-um naman kalibutan. Baha gapaabut naman. Ambut sa imu kun balingag ka ya te mirisisimus maximus.

I just hope that the project will be completed at the exact time and date as stated. Bal-an mo naman kita nga mga pinoys “madrama” guid. But since the internet is worldwide, ang tanan nga mga Ilonggo living abroad ma tribukaho guid kon palpak naman. Thanks. : )

[re=60343]ray[/re]: the project would be completed on 2009, we still dont dont know if there will be no delay, then it would be put to work, then evaluated if there are problems. so dont expect that an on going project would solve the problem right away. even the technology from industrialized countries could also fail.

[re=57873]romel[/re]: That would be interesting Romel :) But I have no idea who names these bridges or how carpenters and forbes got theirs.
