Existence Explained

By: Gil delos Santos

"Letting the flow of the universe be" is not a struggle anymore. The same goes with letting people be. Dealing with ego and narcissism is an unwinnable battle if person to person approach. Let their own circumstances teach them lessons that can turn their perspective around when they're toppled from the throne they reign when their circumstances switch positions. 

I always let people be, but I let myself be for people too. I can be soft but can be a hard ball too. Let them be. Absorb the damn egoistic air get into our face...take it deep into our senses and take a wise time when to blow back when we're ready. Take no respect for truth cover-ups, take no shit for inaction when action needs deployment. Demand! However, respect humility; accept intentions and signs of cooperation.

We are people existed for a specific purpose. I believe for reasons we are sent for. I deliver reciprocation - good or the opposite, serve truth to awaken. My imperfections make it even affirmatory that people can change, that people can be better, that people can be considerate. If not because of the badasses' courage to rub my flaws against my face, I wouldn't have opened my eyes too to fair realities. 

You're not supposed to exist under one's control for the rest of time. If you're not evolving, you're in a wrong place. Your choices are: be a slave of a traditional inefficient system, leave plainly, or change the game and leave a legacy. 

Do you realize what's the purpose of your existence yet? I know you're more than the 15th and the 30th of the month person. Represent your office well, deliver some promptness at least. Your people are desperate. It's a privilege to serve. Make that as our purpose of existence.

WALKING THE IGBARAS CIRCUIT FOR 3-DAYS + 1

By Gil delos Santos IGBARAS is a third class municipality in the South-western part of Iloilo province known to be one of the hiker's favorite destinations as they are blessed with waterfalls, caves, climbing rocks, beautiful mountain ridges which the popular Mount Napulak belongs to, and locals with notable genuine hospitality. We initiated the hike from Barangay Igcabugao which we had to pass through a community of mountain residents as we ascend to our first Mountain, Napulak. I had absorbed a good load of happy innocent vibe connecting to the children before starting the proper mountain journey. These kids have physically grown from the time I last saw them in my previous visits. At the same time, the reconnection naturally streamed down and effortlessly grown too. That's a good "pabaon" - their innocent smiles and timid but genuine thank you for the little present I have for them. Getting to Mount Napulak once again is a mix of happy and little concer...

Be free

Be free Self-betrayal is imprisoning ourself in the cells of envy believing that we are hell special to deserve the world's importance by seeking validation from recruited flying monkeys than be accountable to our misery brought by wrong decisions.  Be our own source of happiness. No one's responsible for it but ourselves. Give no scapegoats. No one is perfect but we can be perfect with intentions to let go and let be with no ssshht. Public proud appearances could  be a reverse happy projection by a sad inner self. Seeking validation is an abyss for an unreachable self discontent. Be truthful with our own truth and give no blame to others for our own missed target.  Rest restless souls. Don't let our silence speak misery. Hope we find peace in our quiet solace.

Local's Perspective on The Proposed Boracay Bridge

By: Gil delos Santos WHAT HOPE IS LEFT FOR BORACAY? Boracay is its people. Boracay is its community. Boracay is its natural treasures. It's dark how the future of sustainability and community for Boracay look like. Let's be part of the light for hope.  THEN As a kid born and raised in Manocmanoc, the Manocmanoc Beach was our everyday playground. Great memories! The sense of ownership that we have for our playgrounds gives us the privilege of entitlement that we feel it is our home. It was a pride each time to warmly welcome visitors to share our space with them. NOW We feel strangers to our old playgrounds. We cannot access them anymore 40 years later. We have not imagined that it wasn't owned by the community. The provincial government installed a cargo port in the Western side of Manocmanoc Beach preventing the natural sand movements and we lost the sandbar that is being formed every habagat season — which we used to call "Recudo". Recudo is gone forever!!  We a...
