Pilipinos Are Still Searching
For Medal In Beijing Olympics
As of August 18, some 59 countries participating in the Beijing Olympics. China had won medals. China tops the list with 56 medals broken down as gold – 31, silver – 13 and bronze – 12. The United States has 63 medals consisting of 19 gold, 20 silver and 24 bronze. If these will serve as gauge, China is more superior than the United States in sports with 31 gold to the Americans’ 19.
Among Southeast Asian Nations, Indonesia has four (4) medals, of which one is gold and three bronze. Thailand has one gold. The Philippines’ search for medal is still fruitless. Her strong hope on the lone boxing entry in the person of Harry Tañamor from Zamboanga was a great disappointment.
Even if Tañamor is a silver medallist in World Boxing Championship in Chicago, USA, he lost to a neophyte boxer from Ghana 6-3 in four rounds. And Tañamor kissed goodbye for his medal hope.
Perhaps, if corruption is a kind of sports played in the Olympics, the Filipinos will probably win the gold.
Flood Rehab In Kalibo, Aklan
Last week, the sectoral committees for the rehabilitation of Kalibo reported their output to rehabilitate Kalibo of the damages typhoon Frank inflicted.
Hon. Emmanuel Soviet Russia Dela Cruz reported for Agri-tourism committee, Engr. Rex Bautista for infrastructure and Engr. Marlon Villanueva for drainage improvement.
Engr. Villanueva explained what will his committee do, the process to be followed like topographic survey, until finally the Drainage System Master Plan for Kalibo is prepared. Once completed, his committee will recommend it for approval to the Sangguniang Bayan of Kalibo for enactment into a Municipal Ordinance for implementation.
The master plan is estimated to be finished next October.
Engr. Bautista submitted a list of school buildings and presented its respective cost estimate for repair.
It took one hour for Hon. Dela Cruz to present the proposal on Agri-tourism. In agriculture he recommended for the immediate production of vegetables, the purchase of power tillers, procurement of seeds and livestock dispersal especially the ready to breed swine to accelerate swine dispersal.
Hon. Dela Cruz suggested the rehabilitation of Pastrana Park, Museo it Akean, Bakhawan Eco Park, Piña Village and to celebrate the 3rd Founding Anniversary of Kalibo. He suggested other projects to cajole tourists to visit Kalibo.
I was waiting for him to recommend measures to make Kalibo, Poblacion particularly, more conducive to walk around and stay in. I was waiting his recommendation to make walking on the streets of Kalibo more enjoyable, safe, and secure. What will he do with the vulcanizing shops along Roxas Avenue? The plants that obstruct the side walks? Any plant growing on a wrong place is weed. What will he do with the shops at the back of the Kalibo Cathedral and by the side of Aklan Catholic College? Are these tourist attractions or illegal structures tolerated to operate even if unsanitary and serving as eyesores?
Human Machine
Michael Phelps who won 8 gold medals, all in swimming, is a human machine. He broke the record of a Russian gymnast Nikolai Andrianov with 7 gold, 5 silver and 3 bronze. /MP
