Not long ago I met a girl
at a wrong place and time. Our relationship as friends began when she stepped
accidentally stepped on my phone while walking along Jacinto St. she
immediately asked for forgiveness, I forgave her. We started laughing at
each other and we had a cup of coffee at that night at a cheap coffee shop
somewhere in the outskirts of the town. We shared some basic information about
ourselves.
Well, she's Five foot four a student of a well-known and prestigious school in Manila. She's an Architecture student and she's on her sophomore year and she's only 17 years old. I like the way she talks and deliver her stories, like a grandmother to her grandsons. We shared informations like we already met in the past or some friend way back then. As our chatting ended we exchanged numbers after that we separated ways.
Days passed by
and still, no sign of her, then weekend came, I asked her out for a tour,
because I want her to experience the night life here in Davao before she goes
back home to Manila. She agreed with my Idea and she thinks it was a good idea, which is really a good idea. I came to her house to pick
her up when that night came. I waited at her gate for a couple of minutes
and finally she showed up, while she was walking towards me I felt some
butterflies on my stomach. She looks good on that dress.
As we roam around
the town I can sense that she enjoys the night life here. Every second that I
had with her from that night I cherished it. I even got the chance to know her even better. We had a joyride around town and we even made some "midnight memories". As our roaming session comes to an
end, I accompanied her all the way to her house and she looks very exhausted.
She
thanked me for all the things that I’ve done for her and she gave me a hug then
she whispered these words to my ears “I
am going to leave Davao for Manila on the next day at 9:00 a.m., I’m sorry if I
didn’t informed you yesterday.” I was shocked and it echoed through my ears, my
world nearly collapsed due to unexplained emotions.
I like you, but I have to know if you like me back. Asking is a very risky thing to do, but, it is the only way to avoid assumption. Yes, I confessed those things that aren't meant for confession. She answered "If this is the right time, the it's a yes, but even though it isn't it's still a yes". I didn't expect that kind of answer all I know is she's gonna reject me, but no.
We both know that this isn't the right time, we only made promises and continue to talk about it. I am not saying that the feeling is mutual, but I know that someday this will be worth it. I'm excited for that right time to come.

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, yes, what a powerful name here in Philippine politics, I don’t know him well to be honest. But his contribution to Davao’s growth explained it all to me. I love his personality and mentality. He trash talks, but all of those words that are coming out from his mouth is the truth, the truth in our society that we’re currently living. He loves our country and he’s willing to sacrifice his blood, life and time for our motherland. He’s a humble man and as a politician he doesn’t boast any of his awards, achievements and other accomplished jobs. He’s also a joker, for me, even though he’s at a serious press conference he doesn’t fail to make any jokes he even makes jokes to the media.
He’s also witty, he uses powerful words to work something out, maybe that’s because he’s a lawyer. He served the government for 22 years in many field, He’s also the longest serving mayor here in the Philippines, he has multiple terms of being a mayor in Davao City. He’s also the first president from Mindanao. According to CNN he’s undefeated since he was involved in politics and that includes the presidential elections. He’s also the oldest president of the Philippines to claim presidency. According to Google, Rodrigo Duterte has identified himself as hailing from both Cebu and Leyte.
His heritage includes Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Malaysian, as well as indigenous descent.On his paternal side, he shares familial ties with some of the prominent families of the Visayas, particularly the Almendrases & Duranos of Danao, Cebu. As well as shared ancestral descent from the Velosos of Cebu CityHis maternal lineage is part-Chinese but mostly Moro of indigenous Maranao-Kamayo descent, withdistanttraces of Islamic royalty.
At 71 years old, he’s healthy. He dresses simply for any occasion. He has that “Iron fist” others call it that way because of his aura as a law enforcer.

To: Staffs and sanitation personnel
From: Suarez Hog Rasing Farm
Subject: Proper disposal of hospital waste
I, the owner of the farm, am concerned about the waste that you've thrown at our community. Due to improper disposal of Bio-hazard waste, our water system is contaminated by your waste, we lost 100 new born hogs and 50 fully grown hogs. Not just our livestock is affected, but also the children and families that are living in this community. I hope that this problem will be on your list.
Please, don't let this happen again

Around 3:30 p.m. yesterday 4th day of August 2016. While I was studying for our quiz in English 201 I heard an argument between Berting Isuga, the victim and Franing Khaayo the suspect. The victim and suspect of the injury are both having a misunderstanding and it wasn't settled. Suddenly, Franing Khaayo punched Berting Isuga in the face. Berting's reinforcements came and the whole scene became a brawl on both parties. I called the attention of the nearest security guard to control the scene and when the incident ended Berting's friends rushed him into the clinic to have first aid.
The Dean of the department and guidance counselor started an investigation to give justice to the one who is affected.
