Amazing Adventures in Awesome Agusan del Norte and del Sur

 

Rain or shine, I am still travelling around Mindanao. One day I arrived in Agusan del Norte. It's a province of the Philippines located in the Caraga region in Mindanao. Its capital is Butuan City and borders Surigao del Norte to the north, Surigao del Sur to the east, Agusan del Sur to the south, and Misamis Oriental to the west (one of my next destinations!).

Agusan del Norte is subdivided into one city and ten municipalities: Buenvista, Cabadbaran City, Carmen, Jabonga, Kitcharao, Las Nieves, Magalannes, Nasipit, Remedios T. Romualdez, Santiago and Tubay.

More about the history and several tourist destinations here on this website. Stay tune!

Maricel Soriano - Filmbug

 It's sometimes difficult to write or report about Philippine entertainment stuff. 

Actress Maricel Soriano, i.e. has been summoned by barangay officials in Makati City to answer the complaint against her by two of her housemaids.

The two house helpers had accused her of physical and verbal abuse.

HAY NAKU...!

According to Michael Gonzales, Barangay Poblacion administrator, barang chair Benhur Cruz has ordered Soriano to attend a hearing at the barangay hall.

By the way, two other housemaids filed a complaint against Soriano in Februrary 2011 but it was dismissed when they failed to pursue it.

Famous, well known, an ordinary Filipino or just a neighbor (expatriate or not!)... Barangay, court... HAY NAKU... .

Good luck Maricel!!! 

Sara Duterte - Mayor of Davao City

Are really more comments needed...???

Suspected German Pedophile Faces Deportation

Sometimes, it's not easy to write about countrymen in the Philippines, especially, if they committed crime.

A suspected German paedophile, as I learned from PNA (Philippine News Agency), who is wanted for sexually abusing 17 minors (!) in Germany will soon be deported after 13 years of hiding in the country.

Bureau of Immigration Commissioner Ricardo David Jr. identified the suspect as 49-years-old GISBERT LEISTNER, who is presently detained at the BI jail in Bicutan, Taguig City, near Manila.

Imigration legal chief Arvin Santos said the BIU board of commissioners has already issued a summary deportation against Leistner, thus he will be expelled as soon as the German Embassy releases his travel documents.

David said that as an undesirable alien, Leistner does not to deserve the privilege to stay in the Philippines. He also warned other foreign fugitives hiding in the country that their days are numbered as they are now the object of a manhunt by the bureau's intelligence operatives.

I agree. It happened in all countries all over the world. And,this has nothing to do with an unfriendly (?) immigration system in the Philippines.

In Leistner's case it is very clear.

Davao Jeepneys: Invaders of Privacy

The public utility "Jeepney" or "PUJ" have become the traditional automotive trademark of public transportation in the whole Philippines.

I loved riding a jeepney up to day.
