Beware of JAM / Tritran Bus

Readers should all be aware of this when going to Puerto Galera or any of the destinations en route to Batangas City! There is an anomaly that the bus company (or probably just their employees and without the management’s knowledge) has been perpetrating. Last February 25, 2005, being a holiday, I, together with three of my friends decided to go to Puerto Galera for a much needed weekend break. We decided to take a JAM/Tritran bus by reason of its station being conveniently located at EDSA near Kamuning which happens to be nearest our residences. This decision to take Tritran ruined our weekend! We were at the bus station as early as 5:30AM so we can take the 6AM trip. We happily rode on bus number 727, a yellow JAM liner. The aircon was great – even too cold and the bus was clean. It got readily full to capacity so we left by just about 5 minutes past 6AM. Upon departure, the “conduktor” distributed tickets without asking for our money yet. After he has given tickets to everyone, he c...

Pink Sisters, My Cebu Experience

Image
What place comes to mind when you hear the phrase "Pink Sisters"? Hmm, yes, Baguio, then Tagaytay - in that order, right?! But did you know there is also such a monastery in Cebu? Ah, well, not really Cebu City since it is already a few steps away from the boundary. It is in Mandaue City. Yep, that is the 'Adoration Convent of Divine Peace' - a monastery for nuns clad in pink habit, reason why its called 'pink-sisters' and I think you know all about that part, right?! Anyway, this convent (and chapel of course - that's my topic in the first place) sits in an urban neighborhood that is by the boundary of two barangays both named Banilad. Yep, Barangay Banilad, Cebu City and Barangay Banilad, Mandaue City! And that is along AS Fortuna Ave., - the famed strip where many notable restaurants and branches of virtually every bank in this country are located with or without ATMs! Oh yes, as of this writing, AS Fortuna has four hotels, two of them new - and am only...

EB Magalona

Enrique B. Magalona , that's the official name of this town in the province of Negros Occidental. Many people write it (formally) as E. B. Magalona and pronounce it as a six-syllable-word ' e-b-ma-ga-lo-na' . Some folks (like me) prefer to write it as " EB Magalona " (same pronunciation as above). The younger generations refer to this town as ' EB Mags' pronounced e-b-mags . Yet others more may just say " E B ". Who was/is he anyway? Ah, Enrique Barrera Magalona Sr. was a lawyer and Philippine Senator of old, who hailed from this town, originally called " Saravia ", which name was converted in 1967 to what it is now, in his honor, seven years after his death in 1960. One of his 3 children was Enrique Magalona, Jr., more popularly known (1940s to 1970s) as the actor Pancho Magalona, who in turn gave showbiz the legendary Francis Magalona, who also fathered your now popular showbiz siblings Maxene, Elmo, etc. Anyway, this town is v...
