Strawberry Festival 2009 -- La Trinidad, Benguet

Below is the Activity for the Strawberry Festival 2009 of La Trinidad, Benguet. To be held from March 8 (the end of Panagbenga) to March 23 (without fireworks). With the theme: Sustaining Our Gains and Looking Beyond.

Baguio City Flower Festival 2009

The city of Marijuana (ump), oh the city of Pines, an additional name to the many names of the City. Should we be proud of this, the city of gamblers (oh, that's another one), when the officialdom of Baguio is trying its best to promote the cool weather in time for the Panagbenga 2009 (it's panag-buh-nga not panagbengga or panagbeeeehnga). The event will start on February 1 until March 8. With the usual streetdancing, float parade, fluvial parade (hopefully they can clean the green algae and might become odorous and dangerous for the health), pony boys, and a month long market encounter. The festivities will open on the 1st of February with the parade of the Local Government officials and a fireworks in the evening.

Schedule of Festival can be viewed here. Duh, Session Road in Bloom should be on February at valentines week to complement the merriment of flowers sprouting in Session Road. Putting it on March coincides with the Strawberry festival of the near  town of La Trinidad.

SM organized there own affairs for the Panagbenga Celebrations. On February 20-22, billiard legends will come up to Baguio to fight for the one of the most awaited event in billiards, the Villar Cup. Those coming are Efren "Bata" Reyes, Denis Orcollo, Francisco "Django" Buntamante, Ronnie Alcano, Alex Pagulayan, Roberto Gomez, Warren Kiamco and many more.

Alabang Boys

For minors not to be put in jail was a law I was shocked at, making minors the power to do unlawful acts behind the human act rights. And now another thing is happening in the Philippines, the dismissal or about to be dismissed case of the Alabang Boys -- children of rich people playing with illegal drugs. At a senate inquiry being conducted December 2008, one of the witnesses a relative of some of the accused mention how his cousin travel from Manila to far (about 13 hrs) Sagada, Mountain Province to procure marijuana for resale. A good and safe business for his traders (hahaha). Which I doubt someone rich will come up the mountains for some weed.

The provincial chief of police of Mountain Province denied the accusation for they have managed to curtail planting of Marijuana and the Provincial Government of MP is rethinking to sue a libel.

At the height of the issue, at Baguio City, a pusher was caught and admitted producing his own products from potted marijuanas inside his house. Which alarmed the police force who were keen on monitoring all the Cordillera Povinces. Which reminded me how an instructor was chucking how they eat, smell, and smoke marijuanas together with their neighbors, of which each have potted marijuanas that nobody cared to arrest any of them. The place is somewhere in Visayas or Mindanao, I don't remember anymore.

Mark Angelo "Marky" "Bognoi" Cadaweng Cielo

Marky made the Igorots proud when he was becoming a strong contender then of Season 3 StarStruck. He made Igorots prouder when he won as a sole survivor of the said reality tv show. For a short 5 years as an actor and at the age of 20, living a fruitful dream and inspiring the youth, he moved to a better place -- the heavens. In the cold weather of December 2008.

Below is a video of his interment.

The video below is GMA7 defending Marky.

Note: Videos choosen have no intention to discredit anybody but the website acting as an Igorot.
