Here's the original post by "taga abroad".
Kung ok kay Mr. Tuvilla and the rest of you, we can restart the discussion here, so we'll have a new way of doing things. Let us set a new tone for our discussions without being influenced by the previous posts. Thanks.
Ano Handum Naton Sa Cabatuan « Thread Started on Jul 26, 2007, 4:24pm »
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ano ang handum nation para sa aton banwa?
Let us tell our officials and leaders our hopes and dreams for Cabatuan. Let us help them make decisions that will result in improving the economic and social welfare of our communities by describing the beautiful and prosperous Cabatuan we see in our minds and hearts. Let us have a productive exchange of ideas. I am especially interested in hearing from the young people of the town. Here are some of mine in no particular importance:
1. A well-designed town center that will attract visitors to the town for shopping, eating and other commercial activities.
2. Infrastructure upgrade, esp for designated areas for industrial, manufacturing and warehouse enterprises, preferably close to the airport to attract deep-pocket investors.
3. New irrigation canals and pumps for our rain-fed agri areas to increase crop yield and income of farmers.
4. Citizen advisory committees in budget, economic development, building code design, tourism, education and agriculture - which will assist in policy research and evaluation and equally important in regulatory oversight and transparency in financial transactions.
5. Computer tax mapping of all real estate properties, business permits and licensing, building applications, etc to improve revenue collection system.
My humble proposals aim to achieve some or all of the following (1) attract more revenue (2) to promote greater efficiencies and realize cost savings for town coffers and the community (3) bring back town pride and spirit. I believe most, if not all, can be implemented immediately or within a short period of time, assuming majority consensus among lgu and other town leaders. Feel free to correct my perception if you think otherwise. I will eagerly await your own comments and proposals.

;D sadtong febrero 2007, isa ako sa nag sunod sa lakbay aral kang mga punong barangays, sb's, vice mayor and mayor sa cebu, camiguin island, bukidnoon, davao and marbel.. ang kada lugar nga dya nga amon naagtunan may mga balasahon sila nga gin panghatag sa amon para talamdan kung ano ang mga amenities ang mahatag kang isa ka lugar sa anda mga umaabot nga bisita. nga sa diin mabasahan kung diin kag ano nga lugar ang may irig maan, parigosan, ukon katurgan kag iban pa.. bisan waay pa ti mga hanggud nga establisamento pareho sang karan-an, katurgan o paregosan gya kanaton, ayhan na sulod man sa paminsaron sang aton mga lokal nga opisyales nga mag come out man sang isa ka talamdan pareho sang gin panghatag sa amon. ayhan, isa sa mga hanggud naton nga mapahambog sa aton lugar karon amo ang bag-o nga airport nga karon naga operate na.
sa dya nga kaangtanan, gina hengyo ko sa mga tumalambong naton diri sa forum nga kung pwedi kita ka develop man sang isa ka talamdan para masugdan man naton ang pag baligya sang aton banwa sa mga bisita kag mga negosyante labi na gid ang mga hanggud nga investors nga mag invest gya kanaton waay sapayan nga waay pa ti financial kag investment consultants ang aton banwa para mag hikot sa dya nga programa..
pwedi ta ayhan ma request si TTS, si TIKI, si LOMBOY, si TAGA UMA, kag bisan sin-o lang nga maka conceptualize kita sang isa ka talamdan parte sa aton banwa?
ti anong say mo?

Ang akon handom tulad parti sa banwa that is very doable and will pave the way for your suggestions to be heard is the creation of the Cabatuan Council of Leaders.
That organization had existed previously as an official town organization, and was chaired by my father until he passed away decades ago.
Ang aton iya nga Council of Leaders will be a "think tank" group, open to any Cabatuananon wordwide who is willing to become active in giving his/her own ideas and to participate in online discussions.
The initial/core group will be composed of the 1. "Team Cabatuan" group of webmasters and moderators 2. CNCHS online moderators and coordinators for each batch or class 3. and private (and public) individuals who had previously shown interest in being active as a Cabatuananon. for example, ang mga naghatag comments diri sa forum, mga nagbilin comments sa friendster account kag sa guestbook, mga naghimo sang videos for their class or for the cabatuan.com website, and so forth.
Plus, maybe The 4. CNCHS Alumni Association 5. The Kinabon ni Haloy org 6. the Cabatuan LGU
Our meeting place will be here online. With the internet connection in Cabatuan getting cheaper and more available, I think this will not be an issue.
Another thing that will not be an issue will be the age of the participants. Ang mga bata, they are full of ideas. on the other hand, ang mga mal-am, they are full of experience.
Who wants to be in?

To administrator: There is a little apprehension about your move.. In all cases, the LGU is hesitant to join this forum. Why? As observed, the LCE is not keen on accepting any terms, especially if the idea does originate from him. They advocates participative government but with reservation. But on the other hand, we can try this out, there's no harm in trying anayway... Count me one as member..

Taga Municipio i did expect a little surprise as to why the lgu had to be included. but that idea did not originate from me. if you look around, it seems like the respectable posts in this forum deal with trying to get the lgu to do something, or to get them to listen to our ideas. "taga abroad", in his/her "Handum" post, advocated for Citizen Advisory Committees. Aram Puan was even inviting the current members of government to come out with something. Although, i myself doubt that they will come on board. But now they cannot say that we didn't invite them, or that we are trying to exclude them.

ma ayad-ayad nga aga sa tanan !!!
this is a very good concept (Cabatuan Council of Leaders)....& count me on this ! if you noticed i am the one who started the thread on Cabatuan-Politics Update.
by the way i agree with Taga Municipio Takon, & i'm certain that the LGU will never come out in the open & join this forum. however, kon may dyan sanda (LGU) nga mga ideya or anything they want to let the Cabatuan tax payers know (kita nga mga Cabatuananon), they should post it on the Official Municipal Website para dyan na lang mabisita ang mga pumuloyo to get information of what is happening kag kon ano ang mga programa kang mga opisyales kang banwa para sa aton pinalangga nga CABATUAN..........I suggest to the moderator of the Officiall Municipal Website to update the site inorder for it to be informative & moving !!!
just my two cents!
"ONWARDS TO A BETTER CABATUAN"
GOD BLESS !!!

please be advised however that anything you want to be answered for by the Local Chief Executive, local officials and department heads of the local governement unit of cabatuan, your query must bear your real identity for propriety... i am sure, we can not secure favorable feedbacks or replies for the matters thrown at them without them knowing your identity. I have to agree though with Mr. Tuvilla, that in order for the members and the council to gain credibility, we have to opt-in with our real names. and that should be the first requirement. Paano na lang na kung mamangkot sila, who are the leaders of cabatuan? ano isabat ta? Si tuko, si tiki, si ayam, si kuring, si ati. ;D Instead of answering your concerns, ma otoy otoy na lang na sila kadlaw. ;D But seriously, if you read the previous postings, and you remove the sarcarsms, diyan mo makita nga ang mga messages are full of substance and good ideas. I myself have a high regard for the people who posted them. So, why hide? This is your opportunity to be respected.

Can we the have guidelines of what will be the basic function of the council of leaders? So we can have a better understanding and appreciation of what this council is up to.
As a start, we can look into the suggestion of Aram Puan, to help develop and come out with a Brochure of Cabatuan, citing therein the brief history of Cabatuan, location, climate, language and dialects, its business and tourism climate, agriculture, festivals, and so on and so forth.
The council should conceptualize a Masterplan of Cabatuan, this has been questioned before and I myself could not affirm if there is really one... Ive been looking into that when i was still a member of the council but to no avail.
Now, i want the consensus of everyone in this board if ok to revived the Cabatuan Council of Leaders as a colleagial body to probably discuss, debate and design a program in details, and draft a resolution for submission to the municipal council for their review and/or implementation. Please be reminded that the 2007-2010 Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA)of the municipality is in the planning stage now, so that if we have our own proposed plans and programs submitted to them earlier, this can be consolidated in their ELA for the current years.
Hows that everyone? Come one come all.. do your share..
God bless everyone..

The concerns mostly taken up in the ELA are the following: Education, Peace and Order and Public Safety, Livelihood, Health, Public Governance, Social Services. this covers a specific course of questions such as... What are the underlying and impending problems on a specific area, courses of actions on how to probably improve, minimize or eliminate the problem, who can be tapped to help achieved the objective, budget to sustain its implmentation, and perhaps time tables as to when to start and end the project..

To Aram Puan and Tiki:
what Aram Puan suggests maybe is already a design of the brochure and nothing to be discussed further.. right Mr Aram Puan? So maybe, each one can develop his own design, you can have pictures of good values and importance mismo diri sa website..

Can we the have guidelines of what will be the basic function of the council of leaders? So we can have a better understanding and appreciation of what this council is up to. The basic function is a "Think Tank", which is a group of people organized to brainstorm policies. What we are not: The best case scenario of course is that we are able to comment on every situation/problem thrown our way. BUT, let's not put too much pressure on ourselves, especially at the beginning when membership is still small and have fewer brains to count on. So kung ano lang masarangan itugda. We shouldn't expect ourselves to comment on everything, although we'll try. The procedure: one topic, one thread. Anybody is welcome to put out a topic. If possible he should also include the options/solutions that's already available. We'll have three choices, agree, disagree or propose another option/solutions. If the topic is big, he can try dividing it into sections, and have one thread for each one. Membership: Every Cabatuananon who wants to participate, regardless of age, is very much welcome. He can be invited by current members, or he can invite himself. We will come up with a list of Who's In. To be included in the list, he must sign-up at the forum, introduce himself (kung kay sin-o abi pamilya, mga paborito niya nga tapico) and post at least 10 comments. A simple hi and hello ;D will not count.
