Try to pass by the CPG Avenue starting from Col. Dede Salarda Memorial Cockpit Arena to the Citi Hardware or the other way around, every 6 to 7 o'clock in the morning and from 5 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon from Monday to Friday and find out why the traffic in the area is very congested. The reason? It is the traffic flow in front of the Bohol Wisdom School that caused the entire congestion and it seems that even if one-half of the traffic enforcers in Tagbilaran will be assigned to man the traffic there, there will be no difference. Why? The vehicles of the school's students there do not mind crossing the flow of traffic plus the entry of vehicles coming from the CPG Park allowing a left turn. And plus the fact that there is a parking of vehicles in both sides of the street.

Why can't we solve the traffic congestion at the BWS. It has been there for the last two to three years now.

Before this school year started, BWS extended its frontal parking area to have more space to vehicles. We thought that would be a solution to the traffic congestion there every morning and afternoon during weekdays. It turned out that the traffic situation in front of BWS still sparked the congestion in that portion of CPG Avenue.

We are not a traffic czar but the solution there is quite simple. Don't allow the vehicles coming from the CPG Park to make a left turn, don't allow parking in both sides of the street during the opening and closing of classes and don't allow vehicles to make a turnaround in front of the BWS. Of course, the ultimate solution there is to transfer the school to another site like what the Victoriano D. Tirol Adbvanced Learning Center did from its former premises in downtown Tagbilaran to Taloto District.

At the outset, we have to thank Pres. Pnoy, DOE Sec. Carlos Jericho L. Petilla and Gov. Edgar M. Chatto for the almost complete re-electrification that we have right now even if intermittent brownouts still occur from time to time. We have to give thanks where it is due. Although we still have to wait for a zero brownout just before Christmas Day as promised but the restoration of our electricity is enough neutralizer to the panic buying of generators, the skyrocketing of the prices of mineral water per gallon, even the increase of rice and the possible fall of the tourism business here. Now we see who are those who greed for more money at the expense of our difficulty.

Although our celebration of the yuletide season this year will no longer be the same after the twin catastrophes hit us and hit us very hard indeed. But it will not stop us from rising up again, as they say. First, Bohol Light Co. will not take our re-electrification lightly. Although we expect our electric bills to be lesser after several weeks of blackouts and brownouts, you are in for a very big surprise. Under the baton of Dennis Villareal's Salcon, expect our electric bills to be almost double due to the bunker-supplied Bohol Diesel Power Plant (BDPP) power generation and the cost of restoration of power lines by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP). The increase per megawatt will be on generation cost. Just look at your bills later. In other words, do we will shoulder the power generation because of the catastrophes? OMG!

There must be another social media were the learned can socialize aside from the Facebook in the internet. For the past months, Facebook has become the haven of narcissism, the Kulang sa Pansin (KSP), those who wanted to show how uninitiated these people are, and most importantly, they wanted to misled people into believing something that they would like to impress that they are the first one to know. For instance, a post in the Facebook that claimed that when the aftershocks would reach more than 6,000 then Bohol will sink. Mayor Baba Yap's account posted a disclaimer on the said misleading claim.

Here's another example. On the death of Paul Walker, star of the hit movie Fast and Furious, one account posted the face of Walker which was torn into halves due to an injury. Do you think the doctors will just allow taking photos of such situation especially when it was a car accident? One thing that really made us mad was when Nelson Mandela died last Friday. These ignorant people would like to impress upon that they knew who Mandela is. They keep on posting about Mandela's death in their accounts and making comments not knowing who really Mandela was. The Facebook has become the world of the insane.

POSTSCRIPT: Just as we asked last week, former City Mayor Dan Lim is reportedly bidding goodbye to politics. To his arch enemies, that would be their crowning moment. But his supporters will encourage him to be back in the political arena. But we think that the animosity in the family will determine whether or not Lim has to write finis in his career…Today is the feast day of the Immaculate Concepcion and happy fiesta to Catigbian, Baclayon, Duero and Sierra Bullones. If the goat of BG is not pregnant, it will be roasted today in his new Kingdom in Montaña. Its Montaña in Baclayon, not Montana, USA…To fiesta-goers, go there and pay your respects to the Virgin Mary first before going to the tables to eat…There's more when we return.
