let us act together… let us (cyber:)meet, collaborate, deepen and expand
first of all we want to understand our dreams and the move to unite… so here's the rough sketches drawn by fr. Javy. (if you'll allow me fr.)
*VISION: Building an authentic community empowerment, development and "unity of will" in Culion.
Moving forward and pursuing the following:
1) Opening of HOTEL MAYA that hopes to invite tourists from all over the world with the end in view of infusing badly needed funds and/or whatever support.
2) Complementary to Hotel Maya is the introduction of BS Tourism which attracted 56 enrollees! A big leap from the usual 15++ first year college applicants. We have students from different islands even as far as Mindoro, Batangas and Laguna! The goal is to make LCC the Eco-Tourism Center in the country - yes, we aim to make this the "IT" when it comes to eco-tourism.
3) Connected with such - LCC, the Parish and an expert we hired (who developed Donsol, Sorsogon to become a world-class spot) will pursue environmental programs precisely to protect our beloved Culion and promote such conservation for all the visitors and the Culion community at large.
4) Creation of a Multi-purpose Cooperative - that will complement the Hotel Maya operations, serve as livelihood laboratory for the students, income-generating engagements for the poor who cannot put up a business on their own and ultimately increase the incomes of all the stakeholders.
5) Building of San Ignacio Farm and Retreat Center - as we hope to establish Culion as a spiritual sanctuary. I myself am in awe for the mystique of the place. Now, a grotto has been built which is already being visited sporadically. A retreat center is currently being built which can also serve as workshop areas for Culion-related development projects.
Integrated in this will be the cause for the preservation of the Pitogo.
Advocacies:
CONSERVATION of the environment
- including the pitogo
- and address other environment-related concerns
- `bantay kalikasan'* information drive*
COMMUNITY BUILDING
- through livelihood program with the establishment of a cooperative
- in the process uniting the entire community - so that we don't have to wait for the LGU or any government unit to move..
- Water Management System*
- Electrification*
- Education*
- reintegration programs for "balik culion"*
- Food chain and supply*
- Economic, trade, commerce and Industry*
- promotion of small industry and micro business – increasing the income of culion.*
CHARACTER formation
- any advocacy will not be sustainable without internal anchors. thus, the need for formation programs..
- graft and corruption*
- morality Issues*
for all of these, particular sectors can spearhead an aspect:
conservation by LCC,
community building by the coop and character formation by the parish.
however, what will be needed is a multi-sectoral meeting that will involve everyone.
we hope to meet even the tricycle drivers, the boatmen, fishermen, youth groups etc. so that unity is fostered not only for a particular cause but for the entire culion.
series of meetings with key people..
they have agreed to invest at least p2,000 per head and with the number we have,
the initial capitalization will easily reach half a million.
the coop will have multiple objectives aside from pursuing income-generating projects directed primarily to help low or zero income families/members… almost equivalent to the LGU power…
when people get united, work hard then dreams and advocacies will actualize.
(:…work very fast so i trust you will help me with this even via online especially for the culion people who are abroad;)
soon, a core group will be established so as to pursue priority projects and serve as the think tank/advisers for the over-all culion mission.
to pursue an organizational meeting
we can also start organizing for the bigger culion group. this way we're able to translate to action plans the rich ideas being generated with the exchanges..
prioritize, focus and systematize so that we don't spread ourselves too thinly and not accomplish much.
...
…Simply beautiful
...
Note: * Additional suggestions
...
ps.
Quests:) are there restrictions to be coop member/s? – or anyone can join the coop? how broad is the org.? what will be the limitations of sponsoring members? - what is Hotel MAYA? And how to raise funds on it? What are the programs for environment protections? Who will be the core group/s? as of now what are the top priorities? How long will you stay in culion fr. Javy :) ? if you happened to leave the town ;(which is always what happened :) who will handle everything? :(sorry for my stupid question:)) And how can we contribute on these beautiful portraiture of our beloved town culion??? Bringing it to the world around us :-)
Whispering hope…
We can only thank you fr javy..

culion generation X
Aim for a new and better CULION.
PEACE,
i feel guilty too for my postings here
but they were also my self criticism.. a quest
it was my way of revealing the zeal and passion
the question of .. why they govern like that?.. etc..
and this was my small way of what can i do with my country.. nakakasawa na
kasi!! i've been an absentee father for long and what have we? but all angers
and negatives done by the supposed representatives of the people... did they
know that pitogo is one of the treasures of culion and the place or the farm is
the unique habitat for the genus. but... (nagtatanong lang po :)) these are the
angers that i want to conquer and to heal... to criticize myself
and ways of loving them... as selfish as i am...
yes you're right i have done nothing for the gov't.
because they are simply homesick... ngek. opps sorry po..
kailangan ng gamot? but we also need to identify the symptoms and the illness
itself...
Let us work together for a new and better CULION:
PEACEFUL, HOPEFUL, RESILIENT AND FRIENDLY.......
SAVE pitogo now... lol
better they didn't attended the fiesta,
more fun...
kainis talaga.. hahahaha
i hope i'm one of those ofw who in one way or another contributed a lot for the
economy...

i just want to be clear here
we are not fighting
we're just balancing everything...
love is what we came here for, it's the opening door..
help!!!
ps.
buti ka pa k. orly always present. joke joke joke...
happy absentee fathers day..........................
well done joseph
thanks ate cynthia and rachelle, smile...
unity
prayers and GOD BLESS
jong :)
....
What I'm trying to say po regarding the Balala fiesta religious or not, people needs their presence for support not monetary. I don't think the people feel very supported by their superior. We are a generation x era presence of the municipal gov't and other superior means a lot to all their subordiantes. Thanks po and happy father's day sa lahat ng tatay at magiging tatay.

Let us not be overtly critical of other people and or an organization who presently governs our town. Instead we should find a way to work in conjunction with what they do for the betterment of the island we all love and proud of. How about if we involve ourselves on things we are good at, on issues we believe in and on activities we could tackle? Negativism will take us nowhere instead it will give us headaches and pessimism. Let us be known for our kindness, generosity and positive attitudes.
Let us work together for a new and better CULION: PEACEFUL, HOPEFUL, RESILIENT AND FRIENDLY.

strictly speaking, the LGU cannot spend for fiesta, being a religious activity, this falls under separation between state & religion, kaya ang iba linalagay as foundation day, sports development program, etc, to justify charging expenses sa government.
and also, yung iba laging naghahanap ng mga ginawa ng government, pero yun pala sila mismo, hindi nagbabayad ng tama, even sa Cedula lang,, Sis Rachel hindi ka kasama dun,
wag laging WHAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN DO FOR ME, sana kahit paminsan minsan eto naman. WHAT CAN I DO FOR THE GOVERNMENT,

peace.
thank you sr. josie for the greetings. thank you too jong for the private emails. thank you ms. cynthia for the text message, i was pleasantly surprised receiving an overseas text message.
am also very happy with the warm welcome i've received from this online group and by the kind people of culion.
several have already contacted me and personally talked to me since my posting.
just to update you, i will have a series of meetings with key people.
on top of this, just want to share with you that we had our 5th meeting of cooperative yesterday. we started with around 20 for our first meeting a month ago and am exhilirated that in just a matter of less than a month, we've grown to more than 250. they have agreed to invest at least p2,000 per head and with the number we have, the initial capitalization will easily reach half a million.
the coop will have multiple objectives aside from pursuing income-generating projects directed primarily to help low or zero income families/members. the greater dream is to parallel the naga city peoples' council (ncpc) - a multi-awarded peoples' movement that is almost equivalent to the LGU power in naga.
my great belief is that when people get united, work hard then dreams and advocacies will actualize.
in naga, when mayor jessie robredo (a magsaysay awardee) entertained the thought of allowing golf course investment, ncpc protested given the implications on water supply not to mention the white sand that will be used for the course. and because ncpc had a great number of members and properly represented at that - with various sectors like youth, urban poor, tricycle drivers etc. ncpc wielded much power that even the LGU had to defer.
i am not an opposition nor pro-admin. my loyalty is clear - with the people and with God - thus, i will pursue whatever will be needed to advance our causes.
thus, currently, we have the coop meetings proceeding and we hope to grow to as much as 500 (or more) in the next few weeks. simultaneously, am meeting key individuals who can help us forward the developmental plans.
do email me your thoughts so we can incorporate them into the action plans. i hope to pursue these with broad consultations but i also work very fast so i trust you will help me with this even via online especially for the culion people who are abroad.
blessings,

You very much Welcome and thank you, Fr Xavier. It is just what we need - Culion-based members, especially one who can organize and coordinate the activities and projects we initiate. We'll be happy to know of the developments.
Two of the projects we have on going are the COG scholars and the public library in Balala. Sr Regina is the one coordinating the scholars, while Mr Layag, the public library. It is really sad when they close the LCC elementary section and the Holy Angels KG. I hope you can do something, at least to re-open the elementary school. As for the library, let us continue to add more to the collections.
I watched your videos in YouTube, John. Thanks a lot for sharing with us.
God bless,
Sister Josie
...
PS to my last posting. I was thinking how COG Members can help the coop. Then it came to me that perhaps some COG members can sponsor families in Culion who can't afford the P2,000 in order to join the coop. I'm sure that there are people who would be happy to join but don't have the amount needed. Are there COG members who can and are willing to help? They can sort of adopt a family.
God bless,
Sr Josie
...
I am willing to sponsor, who are those families that REALLY cant afford 2K?
pwede ba to do some BI first.

Truth?
TRUTH? what is truth? (a reflection)
i was asking this question for a looooooooooong time now..
i remembered rachelle warning posters here about naming names cause the one named might do something wrong on our families back home in culion.. remembered also 'bout the news of threat to all those who said true things to someone even just whispers like what happened to mark and was confronted & threated by the said person.. we were all afraid because the man behind those things will do something wrong to our family back home.. there are fears.. fears that was and is being exploited by somebody.. they want to use their intel. funds to scare people and justify their greeds? they want to use their powers to do what they want all for selfish motives? i just received messages telling me to stop all this kind of letters(echo) cause they might be removed from their jobs from their workplaces from their position and there might be big pressures on them.. a big threat.. all because of my postings here.. because there are many eyes around like intel.. i was reflecting on this and they are right it will put us all in a situation of crisis again in a position that we'll regret.. that will make us more vulnerable and powerless nothing but all survivors of this world of the fittest.. no voice no freedom no rights no protections, worst no more hope.. all but fears.. so they said i should stop all these nonesense letters all these (apocalypse) that will put them in dangers which is causing worries now.. but what i believe is that my letters were just contradictions and balancing the justice of mercy that man has dignities too (reason & faith).. i was assessing my actions and finding some love on it.. thinking twice about it.. ah maybe what i posted was just a big lie or exaggerations to make things grandeur and causes angers around the world.. or even apolitical because my brother was a politician or it's just a vengeful actions as what commented in the youtube culion intel. scandal all in the name of politics.. bias?.. or simply just to be an arrogant-smart that i am 'magaling' mayabang.. or to justify my cause about the crusade causing fighting and divisions... or simply gossips..
so all my postings were nothing but a sham, all empty like clanging cymbals... then i judge myself to hide inside myself closing the doors of my eyes and shot up!
that for me is injustice
or simply facts of lies
stop it now!.. the message back home told me..
then somebody can continue telling
truth is false
and lie is true...
this i am most afraid of :) my greatest fear :))
and what will i tell to my children, nieces and nephews
life is a lie?
will i stop asking for help :) i prayed
and beg the Almighty, whispering what is truth?..

Re: [Culion_Palawan_Online] Re: KEY AREAS OF DEV'T BY COG
Yes, we have the list of almost all areas for development, but we should limit on what we can accomplish or help in the accomplishment. even the LGU may not be capable of dong some in the lists,one of them is 24/7 electricity, there should be sufficient demand for electricity for NAPOCOR to operate 24/7, negosyo yan.
ROAD UPGRADING/IMPEROVEMENT
The Provincial Governmnet of Palawan has assisted in this area, Culion LGU cannot do much of the upgrading with a small funds, 50M more or less (55% of which is allowed for
personal services, sweldo etc.). What should be done, Sangguniang Bayan should pass a resolution requesting our congressman to pass a bill declaring the main road as national road. so that this now be the responsibility of DPWH.
We can concentrate probably is Education and morality, Enviroment (Pitogo).
Orly.
We will be stablishing an Organic Farm in Sitio Cabulihan, Bgy Patag for High Value
Veggies production and hopefully this will spread to other farms.

we will have to prioritize, focus and systematize so that we don't spread ourselves too thinly and not accomplish much.
we can still include this list in our horizon but we cannot also be the LGU who is supposed to attend to all of these.
thus, we take one step at a time.
in the meantime, may i invite all culion-based members of this e-group for a meeting so we can immediately proceed?
the coop meeting happens every saturday 2pm at the LCC auditorium.
we can meet before or after such.

HELP preserve Cycas Wadei (culion pitogo)
To Whom It May Concern:
I join my family and friends in Culion, Palawan to request your support in our initiative for the protection and preservation of the Cycas Wadei and its habitat. It is locally known as Pitogo. This plant represents our hope, resilience and passion.
It was initially discovered in Culion by Dr. H.W. Wade, who came to treat leprosy and gave our forefathers hope. He introduced the taxon to the world and highlighted attention to this little island called "the land of the living dead". Like all the generations of Culion, the plant exudes beauty and resilience. It represented the patience of lepers to be accepted again as normal and productive members of the world.
I call your attention to the 1997 International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Plants. I demand for the Pitogos to propagate not to be
extinct. I desire that it will be part of our children's lives and the future generations.
I implore your support to protect the Cycas Wadei and its habitat. I request that the area be protected. Let the plant stay in Culion. Let the taxon be the symbol of the new Culion: peaceful, hopeful, resilient and friendly. I want this plant to represent us and tell the world to come and visit Culion and see its wonders and beauty.
Sincerely,
...
Note to all friends supporting this initiative.
