The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) is now hunting down a gang behind the slaughtering of dolphins off Baler town in Aurora province, a radio report said Wednesday.
Radio dzRH reported that the remains of the dolphins were found off Reserva village in Baler town in Aurora. Only the heads, bones and tails were found.
About 1,000 hectares of land in Aurora province, northeast of Manila, will soon become a P7-billion port city, says R2 Builders, the developer tapped for the port development project.
Sa 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.
Congratulations kay Gail Darwin Pranada Manalo mula sa Ma. Aurora sa pagiging No. 1 niya sa nakaraang Metallurgical Engineering Board Exam na ginanap nitong Agosto 2008. Si Darwin ay nagtapos sa university of the Philippines - Diliman. Siya ay produkto ng Mount Carmel High School - Maria Aurora. Isang standing ovation para kay Darwin!

The father-and-son tandem of Senator Edgardo Angara and Rep. Juan Eduardo is pushing for the passage of a bill that will create a ninth municipality in Aurora province and jumpstart its development.
House Bill 3255, creating a municipality to be named after Lt. Gov. Juan C. Angara from nine remote towns, is now pending before the House committee on local government chaired by Negros Oriental Rep. George Arnaiz.
The measure stated that establishing the municipality will enable residents of the barangays to chart their own destiny.
Critics have slammed the proposal, claiming it will just perpetuate the Angaras as a political dynasty and it would divide this town which is not an Angara bailiwick.
Senator Angara said the new municipality is named in honor of his father’s service to the province as the longest serving mayor of Baler under the Commonwealth and lieutenant governor of the sub-province of Aurora. “If you will not name the new town after him, after whom will you have it named?” he asked.
He also said the barangays covered by the measure have long been neglected. The current Aurora governor is the senator’s sister, Bellaflor Angara-Castillo. (Ferdie G. Domingo)
Para sa inyong kaalaman, ang House Bill 3255 ay nagpapanukala ng pagkakaroon ng ika-9 na bayan sa Aurora. Ito ay tatawaging Dr. Juan C. Angara at may laking 20,102 ektarya. Ang sasakupin nito ay siyam (9) na barangay sa Maria Aurora: Dianawan, Decoliat, Galintuja, San Juan, Suguit, Bazal, Punglo, Villa Aurora at Dialatnan.
Nag hit ang underwater video post ng Provincial Tourism Office kaya ginawan agad nila ng sequel. Ito naman ang Dive Baler. Ang tigakuha nga pala nila video ay si Ernan Dukha sa ilalim at si Mac Ritual sa ibabaw. Si Ryan Ritual ang tiga edit.

The exhibition runs to SUNDAY 21st SEPT 2008 .
After residing in the United States of America for a year, Filipino artist Jeho Bitancor presents a contemplative exhibition based on his migrant experience. While a great deal of his countrymen regard the colonial power as “The Land of Milk and Honey”, Jeho as the artist and observer is more circumspect, but neither does he deny that detaching “oneself from his or her origin… is a form of salvation which renders the diasporic phenomenon a painful reality in itself”.
Relevant to Singaporeans engaged in the “Stayers” and “Quitters” debate, the show investigates the dilemma of individual emancipation over national deprivation. Jeho points at the foibles of both migrants and their adopted home, by examining the social landscape and condition it generates for migrants, to unravel the contradictions inherent in even the most sought-after dreamland. Marrying his social realist and symbolist genres, he muses on how migration might affect his artistic practice and posits “a crystallization of one’s essence… a re-contextualization of the self”.
Jeho Bitancor is a Cultural Centre of the Philippines Thirteen Artists Awardee of 2006, who has exhibited extensively in the Philippines, Singapore, USA, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong. Trained in the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts (1984-1992), and the New York City Art Student’s League (1997), Jeho has won several awards and distinctions, and is collected by the Singapore Art Museum, Ateneo Art Gallery, National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Aurora Provincial Government, Museo de Baler, as well as several private collections.

Isang balita mula sa gmanews.tv tungkol sa Komedya de Baler.
Takaw atensyon ang makulay na kasuotan ng mga aktor sa dula. Ngunit ang higit na dapat pagtuunan ng pansin ng mga manonood ay ang gamit na itak ng mga aktor na pawang tunay at matalas. Kaya naman ang mga manonood ay tiyak na kakabahan dahil sa isang maling galaw ng aktor ay maaaring mauwi sa disgrasya ang palabas.
