Slated for August are the airing of the “Tabak at Sampaguita” series over DZRH, and the staging of the zarzuela “Baler ng Puso Ko,” “Gabi ng Musikang Filipino,” and “Balagtasan Para sa Paglinis at Paglunti ng Baler.”

More activities are lined up for the Baler 400th anniversary celebration including those of under the National Historical Institute and the National Museum.
By the way, Baler is actually more than 400 years old. It’s already here when the Spanish landed in 1609.
Little Paradise. From Raneil Antonio Ibay’s Multiply Page:
Merely describing Baler would not suffice. You’d have to be there to know what I mean. Experiencing this little paradise for yourself is the only way you’ll see the true essence of Baler.

Saturday, September 27th, 2008Update kay Okoy sa Indonesia
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Sa mga gustong malaman ang nangyayari sa pagdayu ni Rommel Rojo at ilan pang mga pinoy surfers sa Indonesia, may balita sa isang surfing competition na sinalihan nila, ang Oakley O ROKR Pro Indonesian Surfing Championship sa Kuta Beach, Bali noong August 16-17.
Ang ating kababayan na si Okoy ay ang kaisa-isang tiga labas ng bansa na nalampasan ang trial heats at nakasali sa Round 1. Kaya nga lang ay hindi na siya naka advance sa Round 2. Achievement ito para sa ating kababayan sa kanyang unang pagsabak sa international surfing competition sa labas ng bansa.
