PRRD: As a husband, father, and leader

Who could have guessed that a town mayor from Davao, Mindanao, became the 16th President of the Philippines? None could have thought about that. However, beating the odds, this town major turned into the president of the country. He managed to win the crucial and stern battles during the political campaign. Labeled as “this and that,” “so and so,” and “such and such” from countless adversaries, President Duterte remained firm to administer and work with the three government jurisdictions – executive, judiciary, and legislative bodies. Despite his political rants, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte upheld three important things – his characters as a loving husband, a caring father, and a highly regarded leader.

A Loving Husband

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte possessed a great character. Many people might not know about the president and his emotional side; however, he showed care, concern, and love toward people in the country. As he became the PDP-Laban Chairperson, he aimed at accomplishing his political undertaking. Nonetheless, he valued his loved one Honeylet Avanceña. As a husband, he provided everything and took good care of his wife and children. He appeared to be the best person to speak about time management – supporting his family, fulfilling his political career, and leading the people. As a husband, President Duterte lived by example as a good and loving significant other.

A Caring Father

President R. R. Duterte portrayed as an exceptional and reputable father. As a father, he equally treated his children and raised them properly. He became a role model. His children, in fact, followed his footsteps to become leaders and to lead the people. His firm decision and his strong personality allowed him to discipline his children that inspired them to become one. Furthermore, most of his children have held offices from various districts and regions. This position in life could prove that his fathership worked well.

A Highly Regarded Leader

President Duterte managed to handle the demanding challenges of his time. From the Marawi Siege to the COVID-19 pandemic, he fared to provide assistance and care for his people. His immediate actions to solve the problems made people feel safe and secure. There might be other people who risked his actions and decisions to delay his urgent assistance to people; however, he made clearer actions and decisions to penalize those who violated his mandates. Because of that, people respected him as a great leader in this generation.

Indeed, President R. R. Duterte prospered in innumerable challenges. He confronted the odds and beat them. Then, he learned to handle the difficulties in political and social life. As he beat all the challenges and problems, he remained firm and strong to receive reproach here and there whatever decisions he made.

5 Greatest Women in the Philippines Today

Imagine a world of autocracy, a domain of despotism, and a realm of total power. Now, imagine a world with balance and a world where forces of strong and weak see eye to eye. Then, imagine the existence of groups of influential women who vow to bring change in society and the country as well.

Well, influential women can initiate actions, fulfill their plans, and enforce support to help people in need despite the perils of risking themselves. They listen to the people’s problems, feel their grievances, and take action to fight back against any force that harms people in the country. Among these powerful women are Angel Locsin, Leila Delima, Leni Robredo, Maria Ressa, and Risa Hontiveros who stand against those forces that put the wellbeing of the people at risk. Whether celebrities or politicians, these great women learn to articulate their opinions, communicate their views, and express their objections in politically charged discussions. Confronted with criticisms and threats and challenged by their adversaries, these greatest women carry on to perform their campaigns to advocate change.

ANGEL LOCSIN

She is intelligent, quick, and sharp. As well, she is a matter-of-fact woman. She bravely speaks through her mind. Despite the polemics, she strives to make things right. She thrives in her career. Her risk-taking character to do things notwithstanding the risks allows her to enjoy helping others. Her compassion for humanity is obvious in that she makes things happen. She acts right away and strives to help those in need. Through her unyielding dedication, Angel Locsin continues to facilitate support – a true hero and a Darna in the midst. When Angel Locsin collaborates with other people to help distribute those goods, she embodies the true spirit of heroism whom she is willing to sacrifice the pain to exert much effort for the sake of other people. Instead of finding mistakes, those groups of people, who keep on censuring her and her work, must learn to appreciate her actions and her ways of helping others because she only takes a single step toward helping others in which others fail to do.

LEILA DELIMA

She is keen and sharp. As well, she is a woman of courage who fights the present administration despite her limitations. She knows she never gives up to fight for the truth. Faced with restraints, she still performs her role as a senator. She may have faced some controversies; however, she learns to hold her ground and stands firm to continue to fight. She expresses her disparities, dares other politicians to do the jobs, and seeks to create a change. With her experiences as the CHR Director, Justice Secretary, and many others, she knows she can bring justice.

LENI ROBREDO

She is clever and sharp. Her political career gives her the ability to show her prowess. Her wit keeps her on top of the challenges. Every time she speaks, people know she talks with sense. She can do better for all the challenges. Even Leni Robredo faces criticisms every day, she just smiles at those censures and moves forward to help citizens of the Philippines. She beats the odds as she rises to the top. As she is the Vice-President of the Philippines, she holds the power to enforce laws and sanctions on those who encroach on them.

MARIA RESSA

She is intelligent. Fearless yet calm, Maria Ressa learns to fight through her commanding and piercing words. She stands out as she keeps an eye on any element of injustice that annihilates press freedom. As she bravely faces multiple trials, she remains composed and quiet to beat the odds. Her strong reproaches against the present administration are genuine. As she criticizes the government, she tends to liberate herself and the media as well. Maria Ressa succeeds in all her endeavors and fights against those who harm her. As she faces the cyber libel in the country, she stands firm in fighting for justice. Despite the power of the government, Maria Ressa holds her ground and stands firm to fight against injustice, especially press freedom. 

RISA HONTIVEROS

She is smart. Her acumen is outstanding. Her advocacies for justice and peace continue to grow as she learns to defend those who need help. As she works hard to keep peace and justice in marginalized communities, Risa Hontiveros participates in the top-five women who exhibit power and supremacy. Whatever happens in the political arena, Risa Hontiveros stays in the defense group to defend the people in the country.

In the end, Angel Locsin, Leila Delima, Leni Robredo, Maria Ressa, and Risa Hontiveros, and other great women exist to fight. They know when to fight for the sake of the people. They never care about themselves. What they care about is their goal and mission to create change in the dismal status quo. And yes, these powerful women, such as Angel Locsin, Leila Delima, Leni Robredo, Maria Ressa, and Riza Hontiveros are FIGHTERS. They fight for the freedom of all people no matter how hard they experience criticism and no matter how difficult it is to keep on fighting for others regardless of their trials. What is more, people can see their hardship and advocacy. As these powerful women know how to dust themselves off, they are ready to fight even harder to serve the people in the country in their ways.

On the Rise: SR Mall in Jasaan, Misamis Oriental

Effective leaders should always have the courage to take bolder steps toward change. They should uphold these exceptional knowledge skills to change the status quo and to materialize this change if needed. The qualities of these leaders should be so superb that they had to think ten pages ahead of their members. As leaders, they mastered their craft and their prowess to lead without doubts and reservations. They existed, as they should be, to work hard and to grow their economy, their town, and their people. Toward their progress, these distinctive leaders should help people accomplish their goals and objectives, as well as demonstrate good governance by finding means and ways to grow and by letting their people thrive in the process.

The rise of SR Mall in Jasaan would confirm the hegemony of great governance. Government officials took initiative to make Jasaan a new destination for entertainment, family getaway, shopping center, and more. Constructed to rise along the National Highway at Barangay Luz Banzon, Jasaan, Misamis Oriental, this SR Mall would prove that these leaders in this town have still had the heart to give back and offer great avenues for their people to shop and seek entertainment and fun.

A year ago, the SR Mall CEO Sophia Grace Jardin, as well as Governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano and Jasaan Mayor Redentor Jardin, initiated and spearheaded the trailblazing ceremony. The meeting of these hard-working personalities and the ground-breaking ceremony of this project would validate their courage to prepare this project and launch this one to the public. The ceremony, attended by Barangay and Municipal officials, highlighted the SR MALL, a two-level mall project that would attract hundreds and thousands of shoppers and individuals alike.

And yes, these government officials planned this project. Truth is, this project has been in the process of development. This SR Mall project served as a blessing among people across towns and neighboring places. They would surely visit the place as it would, soon, become the next Venice to visit aside from various versions of them in the world. 

At this point, many people in Balingasag, Tagoloan, and Villanueva, as well as other neighboring towns, would be happy about this project. It would be about time that Jasaan would showcase their success and thrive in this magnificent endeavor. Perhaps, this development would serve as a signal that other government leaders, too, should follow the trail of progress like any leaders who prospered in the process. There would be no harm in doing and seeking progress like this – for the advancement of the town and the people as well.

As such, the SR Mall Project truly exhibited the power of innovation and great leadership. With these grand plans, the government frontrunners of Jasaan truly became the embodiment of exceptional leaders who pledged to serve the people in their community.

Nasuli Cold Spring Resort: Our summer paradise

Finding a new adventure this summer would always be fun. The search for an excursion, of course, appeared to be even more exciting for me since doing so would let me combat the stress brought about by this long-standing COVID-19 pandemic. And yes, I had enough – struggles and sufferings. For that reason, this summertime would permit me to visit a new place to take some time off and unwind.

And yes, my phone just vibrated. A friend on the other line might talk to me. So, I checked my phone, wondered why my friend wanted to talk to me, and called me this pandemic season for no valid reasons. My friend and I knew the stern quarantine protocols and social distancing policies. However, such a friend called me for an adventure of a lifetime.  

And then, my phone rang again.

“Hi, what’s up?” I just asked. I was a bit excited though. He told me that he and his other friends would go on a day trip to Nasuli Cold Spring Resort.

“What about the quarantine protocols and the social distancing policies?” I asked again.

“Don’t fret. Don’t get panicked. Everything will be all right!”

Finally, I agreed. Anyway, I felt bored all year long. The COVID-19 pandemic did, however, prolong my agony and boredom. I had to go outside and feel the bliss and grace of nature. My fear of going outside waned. So, I asked when we would go. To my surprise, he said we would go two hours after our small conversation. He told me that he would pick me up. So, I had to pack my things up and prepare for my wallets for the expenses.

Well, Nasuli Cold Spring Resort was remarkable. My experience at the resort gave me chances to enjoy my life. One of my friends once told me that life is short. He told me that I should spend my life to the fullest. And yes, he would always be right. I would never have a chance to visit the places where I loved staying and traveling like Nasuli Cold Spring Resort.

Moreover, I took my first plunge. I confirmed that the water was cold. The feeling was nice though. However, I chose to keep all the details of excitement and fun since, for sure, you might have different shares of stories on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. However, the cold and revivifying water of Nasuli Spring Resort seemed a seamless means to celebrate life and enjoy my weekend hideaway. I remember a friend of mine who visited the place. Her name is Ms. Bren Gallardo, and she could be an excellent endorser of the resort. I bet! Her instagrammable and picture-perfect photo seemed astounding on social media sites like Facebook as she added glamor and grace to the resort. Maybe, next time, the resort would treat Ms. Bren and her friends, as well as Misamis Oriental Journal free cottage and other amenities for this article (I am just kidding! Who knows the resort would grant me). Ms. Bren Gallardo and her friend(s) highly appreciated the resort very much. Because of Ms. Bren and her friend(s), I decided to take a peek and celebrate life at Nasuli Cold Spring Resort at Barangay Bangcud, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon.

How Could We Get There

Well, we might ask how we could get there. We just needed to follow the trail.

    • Firstly, we could take a bus at Ecoland Terminal bound for Cagayan de Oro if we were in Davao City. We should tell the bus conductor to drop us off at Barangay Bangcud, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon. We needed to make sure that we should go to Nasuli so that the driver could drop us off at the landmark of Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) Church. From there, we needed to ask for direction from the commercialized single motorcycle drivers to take a walk going to the resort. It would only take 1 kilometer to travel from the INC landmark.
    • Secondly, we could take a bus from Cagayan de Oro bound for Davao, Kibawe, Valencia, or Wao. We needed to inform the bus conductor to drop us off at the landmark of Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) Church in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon.

Fees & Rates

    • Cottage Fee @ ₱300.00 – ₱400.00
    • Entrance Fee @ ₱40.00
    • Inflatable Floaters @ ₱50.00
    • Life Jacket @ ₱50.00
    • Table Fee @ ₱200.00

We would surely note that fees and rates mentioned here might show some discrepancies from the time of posting or publishing this article. it would be better if we should contact the management of the resort using the information below.

    • Business Hours: 5 AM – 6 PM (Daily)
    • Contact: 0906-165-6428

Just a Few Reminders

    • We noticed that no lifeguards were on duty. Thus, we had to swim at our own risk.
    • The pool is for everyone. We needed to check, monitor, and watch our children near the pool.
    • We could not purchase alcoholic beverages and cigarettes inside the resort due to prohibition.
    • We could only eat our food at our rented cottages.

So, what are we waiting for? We must pack our things and visit Nasuli Cold Spring Resort at Barangay Bangcud, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon.
