High LPG Cost Motivates People To Use Firewood
According to the DTI Aklan Monthly Monitoring report conducted in October, 2005, prices of four (4) basic commodities went up from five (5) percent to 14.09 percent. The increases were brought about by the increase in prices of either raw materials, processing cost or packaging materials.
Iodized salt price increased by 14.09 percent, candles – 9.02 percent, detergent bars – 6.45 percent, and coffee – 5.95 percent. It is good to know however that there are sufficient supplies of the basic commodities in Aklan.
Don’t look now for prices of various products have increased tremendously. One liter of special gasoline costs P41.00. One barrel of LPG costs more than P510.00. This expensive cost of LPG is a good motivation to go back to the use of firewood in cooking. The use of firewood may save P510.00 to P1000.00 monthly per household depending upon the number of members in the family and the kind of food prepared daily.
Moreover, backyards maybe cleaned of pile of old wood. Coconuts and other fruit orchards maybe cleaned of dead stems and coconut fronds. Looking for firewood will provide jobs to the idle people. Foreign exchange money will also be saved that should have been spent for imported LPG.

The Regional Trial Court, Kalibo, Aklan in its decision dated October 14, 2004 in Special Civil Action No. 6781 upheld the validity of Municipal Ordinance No. 2002 – 016 of Kalibo. This Municipal Ordinance in effect increased the former lease rental of P400.00 per month to P1,800 for the 20 square meters stall in the Kalibo Shopping Center. However, the said decision is not yet final and executory. The plaintiffs who are the stallholders of the said shopping center had filed a “Motion For Reconsideration” through their legal counsel.
Meanwhile, the said plaintiffs have not been paying their monthly rentals for the use of the stalls. According to their president, Mr. Nick R. Rebesencio, they had been depositing their respective rentals based on the old rate to the RTC, Kalibo, Aklan as LGU Kalibo refused to accept rental payments unless it is based upon the provision of the Municipal Ordinance No. 2002 – 016.
Meanwhile that the Civil Case is pending reconsideration, the people of Kalibo is deprived of the use of the money out of the use of the Kalibo Shopping Center. Maybe it will be good for the people of Kalibo if LGU Kalibo receives the P400.00 per month per stall without prejudice to collecting additional rental after the Courts has decided upholding the validity of Municipal Ordinance No. 2002 – 016. The view I see: is the final decision maybe long in coming especially if the plaintiffs may bring the case to the higher courts in case their “motion for reconsideration” is denied. Regardless of the present amount, it will go a long way for LGU Kalibo to use the money like in the repair of streets or in other important projects.

A certain astrologist, Mr. Palacios has predicted something big and shocking will happen in the next two weeks in the Philippines. He did not identify specifically what it will be. Palacios also predicted, the Philippines will highly improve her economic condition in three (3) years. PGMA will not last her six (6) years term as a new chief of state will emerge in three (3) years. Probably, a male and a presidential candidate in a previous election, Palacios predicted.
