Back to Blogging

It's been a while since I have written on a weblog (blog). My last piece was in 2010, a far, more than 6 years ago. I have forgotten my passwords of the account. I can only view them. If you are interested, I have reagnav.blogspot.com, reagnav1.blogspot.com and reagnav2.blogspot.com. reagnav.blogspot.com was my main blog. reagnav1.blogspot.com could have been all about horrorscope or twists about what will happen in our daily lives and reagnav2.blogspot.com could have been about manga as I am a frustrated artist. Anyways, I will be maintaining this reagnav3.blogspot.com from now on.

I used to have time to ponder and write on anything that comes to mind. But responsibilities increased so it was sidelined and I have forgotten all about it. Until now that there seem to be a threat to the things that I believe. Things that brought me to where I am now. Things that made me think, not just once, twice or three times but about a dozen times. Threat is defined as the possibility that something bad or harmful could happen. Bad, in the sense that my source of livelihood is now under scrutiny. Harmful, in the sense that there will be some physical effects which can be possibly brought about by sleepless nights.

Speaking of sleepless nights, I was sleepless last night as I waited for my family to come home from a short vacation. I assumed that they will arrive at midnight but as I waited, minutes after the stroke of midnight became an hour and fortunately enough they arrived at 2:39 am. When everybody had settled in their respective nook to catch sleep, I also took on my pillow and blanket and stared at the darkened ceiling. Alas! As my worry about their late arrival subsided but my mind raced to the next concern, that of the threat mentioned.  In short, I didn't have much sleep as I wrote this. I would not wonder if I'll be writing incohenrently. Heck, misspelled words may come and go.

For this writing, I will be summoning back words and intertwined events as I have no particular piece to focus on yet. For the next hour or so, my main job is to prepare the breakfast for the tired bodies slumbering in the rooms.

I hope I am back into blogging and hopefully, I will be coherent, consistent, firm and rational in the next episodes.

What arrogance can do!!!

Tadeco was attacked yesterday morning (9/26/2019) by the governor of Davao del Norte. Coming in with heavy equipments (Boom truck, grader, buckhoe, acetylene welding, etc) worthy of demolishing huge structures accompanied by firetrucks in anticipation of breaking the ranks of peaceful workers defending their livelihood, he held his head high up expecting success.  His purpose : bring down structures he and his cohorts (before being elected as governor) have long wished to conquer because it's their promise to people with hatred to Tadeco.  Concern #1: As claimed by the Gov, he had serve a one-month notice for Tadeco to dismantle illegal obstruction in Tadeco farm roads claimed as public roads.  Fact is, there was indeed a letter informing Tadeco that the govt will dismantle structures dated Sept 16 and received by Tadeco on Sept 20. Is this a one-month notice?  And a letter dated Sept 24, postponing the activity to Oct 7 which...

Si Gob Jubahib ug ang Saging, Bow!

Gov. Jubahib, in his speech during the event on his first 100 days in office, signaled a very dangerous mind. Explaining and insinuating that because the banana plants of Tadeco are healthy, these don't need the bio-security measures against fusarium wilt such as tire/ wheel baths and foot baths. Where the hell did he get an idea such as that! He had not thought about why the bananas in Tadeco are healthy and why the banana plants in the nearby Sto Tomas and Kapalong plantations are dying on Fusarium Wilt. He wants to open roads which are already accessible by the public. He wants to get rid of these structures mandated by the Bureau of Plant Industry and with a provincial resolution that backed it. He asked about what to choose, banana or people? Let's discuss. People in Tanglaw, Bobongon and Balagunan can pass thru the farm roads provided that vehicles and people take the precautionary defense of passing through tire baths and foot baths with their livelihood intact (thes...

Fusarium Wilt and Gov Jubahib

The Philippines is the second largest exporter of Cavendish bananas, next only to Ecuador. The dreaded Fusarium Wilt disease caused by a fungus, Fusarium oxysporum cubense Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4) is wrecking havoc and threatening the existence of the banana industry, not just in the Philippines but all over the world. Banana exporting countries as well as banana eating countries are scrambling to solve the problem. Our government in 2012 thru the Bureau of Plant Protection of the Department of Agriculture had declared war to minimize and slow down the spread of the fungus that is exploding like wildfire. The administrative order urges the provinces of Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental and other provinces to put up quarantine measures which includes tire/wheel and foot baths in every entry and exit points of a banana farm. TADECO has been in the forefront in the production of Cavendish bananas for export as well as in the combat of the Fusarium Wilt disease. Protectin...
