De Venecias — The Poetry of Progress

 By: Z.J Ortigoza

THE De Venecias’ legacy is already etched in stone — as enduring as the tablets of Mount Sinai on which God carved the Ten Commandments. In the Pearl of the Orient Seas, their name has become a beacon of progress, their good works reverberated from the hometown shores to the national stage.

HISTORIC. After 90 years the historic link that will also ease the gridlock on the stretches of the highway in Dagupan and Binmaley is being rebuilt. The new Calmay Bridge rises as the spiritual successor to the Franklin Bridge, a landmark of the American era destroyed by floods in 1935.

 Former five-time Speaker Jose de Venecia, Jr. is revered for championing peace, economic reform, and global diplomacy. Congresswoman Gina de Venecia is celebrated for her compassion and tireless advocacy for women, children, and families. And former Congressman Christopher “Toff” de Venecia represents a new generation of leadership — a visionary champion of the country’s creative industries.

A Country Runs Like Hell By Filipinos

My kids and the Missus are going gaga with the controversial flick of the Castillian looking Philippines President Manuel L. Quezon. They are watching his documentaries at YouTube before going to the celluloid screen at Robinsons.

Photo grabs from the internet.

Geez, I taught Quezon in my History class in college for ten years.

I blamed him for the present misery of the Filipinos because our thieving leaders are getting worst as the years pass by.

Ni ZJ Ortigoza

 “Saludo talaga ako sa mga OFWs, dahil kayo ang tunay na bayani ng ating bansa,” ito ang taos-pusong pahayag ni Congresswoman Gina de Venecia sa mga pauwing mga Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) na tumanggap ng tulong at financial assistance katuwang ang Department of Migrant Workers sa Ika-Apat na Distrito ng Pangasinan.

Congresswoman Gina de Venecia, Representative of Pangasinan’s Fourth District, and Rey O. Sison, Regional Director of the Department of Migrant Workers–Regional Office I, together with Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) beneficiaries from the district.

 Hindi lingid kay Manay Gina ang bigat ng dinadala ng ating mga migrant workers. Sa mga panahong siya at ang kanyang kabiyak na si dating five-time Speaker of the House Jose de Venecia, Jr. ay umiikot sa iba’t ibang bansa bilang mga lingkod-bayan, nakadaupang-palad nila ang napakaraming OFWs na bagama’t may ngiti sa labi, ay nagkukubli ng mga sakit, lungkot, at pang-aabusong dinaranas nila sa ibang bayan.

Ang Pakipagbuno ni Mayor sa mga Kalamidad

Noong dumaan ang Bagyong Nando na kung saan ang kanyang hanging habagat ay may dalang napakalakas na ulan, muling hinagupit ng baha ang landlocked low-lying na bayan ng Calasiao sa Pangasinan dahil sa mga kadahilanang ito:

YEOMAN'S JOB Calasiao's workaholic mayor Patrick A. Caramat (center) in a yeoman's job helping the staff of the municipal government to distribute boxes of foods to their constituents' scourge by the recent Typhoon Nando.

Daanan siya ng tubig ulan galing sa kabundukan ng Cordillera Region, San Manuel, Binalonan, Urdaneta City, at Sta. Barbara sa pamamagitan ng Marusay at Sinucalan River na papasok sa bahaing lungsod ng Dagupan at sa kanyang pangwakas na destinasyon sa Lingayen Gulf; Magmula noong 1980’s o apatnapung taon na ngayong ang Marusay at Sinucalan Rivers ay hindi pa na draga para matanggal ang mga banlik (silt), mga tinapong basura gaya ng mga lumang mga kagamitan kaya kahit kaunting pag-ulan lang ito’y ay napupuno kaagad.
