Photos of Bukidnon

I recently scraped some photos of Valencia City and other places in Bukidnon at WikiMedia Commons.  Thanks to KleoMarlo who took these pictures.

Anyway, my story is this.  The photos of KleoMarlo are the same places I frequent.  Because I'm too preoccupied thinking about my (monkey) businesses, I seldom pay attention to these sites.

When I saw these pictures, I told myself I'll always bring my cam from now on so I can also capture the beauty of this province.  Well, here are the photos, I hope you'll like them:

800px-Ph_bukidnon_sumilao_alalumfalls

This is the Alalum Falls in Sumilao, Bukidnon.  When you travel to Cagayan de Oro from Bukidnon, this falls can be seen as you traverse the national highway.

800px-Mount_musuan 

This is Musuan Peak in Maramag, Bukidnon. This mountain is very near our place, about a few kilometers away.  We can clearly see it from our house. 

This is also an active volcano so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  My son once asked if we can go hiking to Musuan. I doubt if I still have the energy to trek mountain trails. Maybe someday...

800px-Valencia_City_central_market

This is Valencia City Public Market. Did you notice the Durian? It's aplenty here.  I got the courage to taste it 2 days ago and it nearly knocked me off.

I wonder why they called it Food of the Gods.  I like the Durian candies though but spare me from the fresh ones.

800px-Pulangi_River-ValenciaCity

This is the Pulanggui River in Valencia City.  It is one of the biggest river systems in the province. I only see it from afar. Maybe someday I could take time to swim here.

800px-Sayre_Highway-bukidnon

This is Sayre Highway in Valencia City viewed from an overpass. Did you notice the tree lined streets? Well, that is a common sight in Valencia. 

More photos soon. And it will be my own rendition.  I just hope I can still squeeze my photographic juices. ;-)

Mga Kuwentong Bayan ng Bukidnon

Introduksiyon UPDATE: Ang librong Mga Kuwentong Bayan ng Bukidnon ay maaari nang mabili sa lokal na online shop ng JMP Creative Media. Sundan lamang ang link na ito: BUY NOW: MGA KUWENTONG BAYAN NG BUKIDNON.   Ang pagbabasa ng mga katutubong kuwentong bayan ang isa sa pinakamabisang paraan upang maunawaan ang kultura ng isang bansa. Ayon kay William Bascom, isang kilalang Amerikanong kuwentista at antropolohista, ang mga kuwentong bayan ay salamin ng mga katutubong kaugalian, tradisyon, ritwal, at kultura. Nilalaman ng mga katutubong kuwento ang buod ng pagkatao ng isang partikular na grupo sa lipunan. Ang paglalathala ng e-Book na ito ay isang pagtatangka na maibahagi sa buong daigdig ang ilang piling kuwentong bayan ng tribung Bukidnon sa Hilagang Mindanao, sa wikang madaling maintindihan ng kabataang Filipino. Sa gayon, magiging mas nakaaaliw ang kanilang pagbabasa. Marami na ang nalimbag na mga kuwentong bayan ng tribung Bukidnon. Subalit kadalasan, ang mga kuwento ay nakasulat

Forced Haircut in Schools is Corporal Punishment

Forced Haircut in Schools is Corporal Punishment (Why This Policy Is Unjust and Violates Basic Child Rights) Valencia City, BUKIDNON.  The Department of Education (DepEd) has a long-standing policy that governs good grooming. This includes prescribing a so-called proper haircut for male pupils in both private and public schools.  According to Undersecretary Yolanda Quijano, “the prescribed haircut for boys is at least one inch above the ear and three inches above the collar line.” Schools under the supervision of DepEd are required to follow such standard. Unfortunately, this “haircut policy” has no clear implementing guidelines.  As a general practice, school principals and administrators have the authority to define their own sets of rules on how to implement the policy, including the enforcement of disciplinary actions on erring pupils.

Untitled I

It's not about knowing you when we were there, wandering, in gardens of youthful freedom. What matters is that I've known you, as you are. It's not about seeing you transformed in full splendor palpably radiant and  blinding mortal  eyes. What matters is that I’ve seen you, as you are. It’s not about hearing you, angelic rhythm of imagined voices  wallowing in bitter-sweet laughter. What matters is that I’ve heard you, as you are. It is not about touching you in the deepest  recesses of your uncharted nakedness, utterly lost  in the celebration  of your beauty and passion. What matters most is that I’ve touched you, as you are. It is not about feeling your stormy thoughts and calm contemplations though these are far constellations reached only by stellar signals. What matters most is that I’ve felt you, as you are. ‘Tis not about loving you, sweet rose-petal of dreams,
