The key of becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. You must become someone others can trust to take them where they want to go.

Guidelines on How to Become an Effective Leader
by DR. JOHN C. MAXWELL
Reference: NLTSGO Baguio City Workbook

1. Leaders should not be egoistic.
- The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain, they lead in order to serve
other people.

2. We must become good followers first.

Kadakol Na.

Kadakol na ang catandunganon na nagtukaw sa halangkaw na pwesto sa gobyerno ning pilipinas, na-isipan lamang daw ninda na matuwangan talaga ang mga kababayan ninda?
Sana so mga gatukaw sa ngunyan, maka-isip lamang ning pa-agi na magka-igua na ning tulay ang satuyang isla papunta sa mainland, pareho ning San Juanico. Inda ko sana kung totoo na so San Juanico Bridge,para kutan-a sa Catanduanes, sabi daa ,dai man ning produkto ang catanduanes kaya dai pigdagos.

"A period of time wherein someone occupies a certain official post in the Government."

SA piRang taon kong pagiging tawo, namasdan ko na gabos kita reklamador, kang aki pa ako dai ko nasabutan ang mga gurang ta bagi man sana sindang aki.. aram nyo kung ngata? ta dai sinda batid mag ako ning kadaogan,, sabi daa ngane sa pilang tawong kandidato sa eleksyon,, DAING NADADAOG,NADADAYA SANA DAA< masakit tanggapon na ang ginikanan ko dai man siyempreng pinag bag o, REKLAMO UYA REKLAMO DUMAN, mataram nadaya sinda, na so sarong kandidato nagbakal ning boto etc. etc.

Salamat, natapos man an eleksiyon sa Pilipinas, lalo na sa Catanduanes. Maski daing nangyari sa naresibe kong pilak hare sa nagkakapilang kandidato, at least, nakadagdag man sa pinanghanda ko sa piyesta samo.

An dakula tang ipagpasalamat ta maski rampant ang vote-buying sa Catanduanes, dai man nin na-deskuwido. Sabi kan sarong kamidbid, maray na daa ini kumpara sa ibang lugar kan Pilipinas – dai ngani uso an barakalan, pero uso man an baradilan asin garadanan.

It is a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Last Monday, I shaded black the circle opposite Sen. Noynoy Aquino’s name. That dark shade was meant to give light to a country whose people are thirsty for change. I gave my vote to Noynoy for no political reasons. Only personal ones. After all, the personal is also political.

Nakadismaya ang nangyayari uya sa satuyang isla. Nahihiling mo ang tawo na ringaw ang gabos basta kwarta ang hulon. Kang nakaaging eleksyon, maski anong sabihon, nagbaha ning kwarta. Mala ngani ta sagkod ngonyan, puno ang saod, ang century, fortune, asin iba pang tindahan. Bago mag bolotohan, grabe pa ang nanaltag ning kwarta sa bilog na Catanduanes. The highest bidder wins. Iguwa pa ning mga ward leaders na pig taw an ning ipanaltag, pero nanghinayang siguro na itao sa iba, kaya pigsadili na sana. Bako man sanang mga kandidato ang buwaya, halos kadaklan alog na kaini ang nangyayari.

I just read this. Question is, Will he be prosecuted?

Is Senator Noynoy Aquino really “Abnoy”?
Here’s what his psychiatrist-classmate told me

My exclusive
By Raissa Robles

Ok, I couldn’t resist this scoop as a journalist.

But I’ve hesitated to write this for days because I did not want to be labeled a Noynoy supporter.

It pains me as a foreign correspondent, who has been trying to keep an open and dispassionate mind about the presidential candidates, to be branded as rooting for this one or that one.

A document appeared in the garden this morning. It was a bit rain sodden, but it dried out.
The document is titled "Catanduanes News and Features".
Its main (sole) article is headed "CUAtanduanes ... Cua, pig-sasadiri an kabuhayan sa Catanduanes". The paper goes on to list the Governor's business interests on the island, which are considerable (ferry, abaca, PAL Express franchise, RSL bus service, gas station). "Cua gari ng dios. Sadiri an gabos ... Kadagatan, Kadlagan, kalangitan, buda highway papunta sa kamurawayan."

A lot of people I know have already made up their minds on who to vote as president. If you truly believe, as I do, that your choice for president is the best person to lead our nation, I respect your conviction. I would expect nothing less from Filipinos who truly care what happens to our country. If your choice is informed, if your heart is at peace, if the person you are voting for is someone you would follow to death should the need arise, then so be it. But for those who still have to make that choice, or for those who have made tentative picks but are still willing to entertain a small seed of doubt, I beg leave to present my case for the man I think is most deserving of my vote.

The 21 April edition of the Catanduanes Tribune carried a report on the election status of the above locations. Read it at this link:

Since the report appeared a bodyguard of Governor Joseph Cua has been imprisoned for shooting a Gigmoto man on his own property. The man's condition is reported to be 50/50.
