Kuya Ernest & I after some basketball games with some locals


Contrasts: The predictable daily sunrise and sunset VS the unpredictable perennial mega-smoke belcher and active Mayon Volcano.

The threat of a low-probability but high-consequence major eruption forced the local provincial government to to be the “most disaster-prepared” in the country. The claim of the local officials is not without merits, as per our own opinions based on our own observations.

But Legazpi City itself, as the regional administrative capital is arguably the seat of atrocious severe corruption in the poor Bicol region in Southern Luzon. And as we will write about in the future, severe corruption in the region brought about greater hardships among a million families and caused deaths far more than Mayon Volcano in the last 50 years...

With ten thousand and one serious violent and or big-time criminals they pro-actively protect or host, we were subjects of misinformation campaign by the rogue elements of the intelligence-agents of a government agency. Spoiling the wonderful experiences we had with kind and loving new acquaintances and friends. And forcing us to leave the place.

This is counter-intuitive – to announce that we’re departing from a place and moving when it’s not a safe thing to do for endangered individuals like us. They have vandalized our published articles too, though we’re not sure about this yet. You idly earn billions-a-year  in combined kickbacks, ‘di na ba kayo naawa sa amin? Nice moves sirs!
