Fire Turns Hundreds of Houses into Ashes

Yesterday (feb 23, 2010) a fire leaves hundreds of family homeless in Barangays Labangon and Tisa, Cebu City. The Cebu Fire department received the call around 4:03 PM yesterday and placed under control after 40 minutes. It was raised to the third alarm. The firetruck had a hard time getting to the fire scene because of small way.

Affected families were provided a temporary shelter in La Paloma Gymnasium and in vacant lots. The City Government also provid tents.

It is really hard to be of those who are affected by house fire because you need to start over. It will take time especially if you don't have the resources. Thanks to the local government who always there to help the affected families.

Illegally Placed Campaign Posters in Cebu Turn Down

The Election campaign had just started while candidates for the national and local positions are busying on creating visibility to the public. Most of the higher position candidates have their campaign ads on television, radio, and posters in streets. It is one big way to be able to introduce themselves to the public about their interests in running for public office

In Cebu, illegally-placed campaign paraphernalia like posters, banners and streamers that exceeded the standard size were also taken down. Those posters that are place in prohibited areas like trees, wires, public school buildings are eyed by the COMELEC (Commission on Election) officials. The Cebu Comelec officials starts to look and take down down illegally-place campaign materials from provincial capitol down to Basilica del Sto. Nino.

This is a good move by comelec officials here in Cebu because posting of campaign materials in non-designated areas may contribute street accident. Like if posters are placed wires, it might fall down and hit pedestrian. It is best to look on the welfare and benefit of the public before placing those campaign materials. Good Job!!!
