Rewind With More Classical Music

After some very busy days, including today, I need to take time out in between my tasks. Of course, you know me already: I am doing this with music. I found two more classical composers in my music library:

(Emil Nikolaus von Reznicek)

(Eugen d'Albert)

Proud Pinay Singer

Dr. Abdullah Dumama, DOH Region 12 director said Thursday their latest monitoring showed that an average of three or more cases of dengue infections have emerged during the last four weeks in Labangal, Lagao and San Isidro aas well as in Poblacion and Cannery Site in Polomolok. 

Region 12 covers the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, North Cotabato and the cities of General Santps, Koronadal, Cotabato, Tacurong and Kidapawan.

In South Cotabato health personnel have been conducting house-to-house campaigns to promote the 4-S strategy:

- Search and destroy,

- Self-protection measures,

- Seek early consultation,

- Say NO to indiscriminate fogging.

A New Adventure? Yes....? BUT!

It has been one of my favourite places in Mindanao. Just after couple after hours, when I left this place rushing home I got the sad message, that three miners have been killed due a landslide.

I kept on visiting those areas since my first visit in 1982. I kept on archiving video shots of people being happy and "out of breath" discovering milligrams of "certain gold". 


Sad to say, another landslide happened now (while writing this post)! in the Province of Sitio Tagurong, New Bataan, Compostella Valley.
