Boljoon, One Year Later (Part 1)




September 9 & 10, 2006. For some strange reason, I found myself exactly one year later on the road southeast again to the picturesque town of Boljoon. But while I had only solitude, dread, and anticipation as companions then, this time I had my brother Josrique along, as well as Oliver, marketing manager of Club Fort Med, which had invited me to write about their resort.


Same moon, same sea, but on a much lighter note this time.

    i hope club fort med has an ECC already. last i know, the LGU, particularly, the engineering office, did not recommend the issuance of a mayor's permit due to some zoning concern or something. i havent been there lately pero i heard they recently erected structures in the river or its banks, is that true?

    I was at club fort med 2 months ago. There was a construction on additional rooms... and yes it was erected on a dry creek. I don't look like a river. But still it is an illegal structure. With regards to the foreshore area. I think they have violated the 30 meter salvage zone. suppose to be no structure. Most of the resorts (private or public) in the south has violated that. It's been tolerated in the area.

    nope, they didn't construct on the river (i don't believe there's a river there), but they've made a small creek-like fishpond that exits to the sea so tourists can fish. i don't think they have an ECC yet (what i know is, the land is under dispute), but they have an agreement with the LGU.

    I do believe they have a foreshore lease (which allows the erection of structures in foreshore areas), but yes, a lot of people (in the whole country, actually) don't know about the required salvage zone.

    yep, but nothing more enviable than a free YEAR in scotland absorbing all the things you've been dreaming of learning and hanging out with a cute geneticist ;-)

Boljoon: More Reasons to Return

Image
8 and 9 June 2007. When editor Kristin Llerin asked me to write about Boljoon for the Cebu Yearbook, I asked, "Why ME?". I'd just written an article on it a few months before for the Lifestyle page (supposedly, it was what inspired the Yearbook editors to feature Boljoon in the yearbook), and I felt I had written all I had in me to write about Boljoon, after years of yearning for it. I'd explored all I wanted to. It was a closed book, as far as I was concerned. "Because you like to travel!" she said. Fine. It was MY Boljoon, after all, so I thought it might as well be me. When I got there on a Friday morning (the first weekend of the schoolyear, and I was already on another "vacation" :P) to interview some government officials, I discovered that there was an archeological dig going on in front of its historic church, and that there were actually still a couple of places I hadn't been to...which some of the locals hadn't even heard of, eit...

Being Brown... again

Image
In 2002, I wrote an  #essay for one of my Sun.Star columns titled "It Ain't Easy Being Brown" . In March 2016, I suddenly got requests from university students in different parts of the  #Philippines  to interview me about this essay for their class. The essay wasn't online and they had to ask me for a copy, so I have no idea how their teachers thought to assign it as a text. In October 2017, I was contacted by students from yet another school telling me that they had chosen the same essay to make a  #shortfilm  on for a school competition. Again, no idea how they got hold of it. But since my essays are  #autobiographical , it was basically a film based on my life. Sharing it now because it's just so hilarious 😂 especially their portrayal of my parents. It's so amazing what kids can do with the technology these days. This is the  #poster  they made for the film. You can read the (very short) essay first . And then watch the  #trilingua...

It Ain’t Easy Being Brown

STRANGER THAN FICTION by Jeneen R. Garcia Published in 2002 Never fails. Every time I walk down a grocery’s toiletries section, an overly eager, mestiza sales lady blocks my path, wielding the latest whitening product. It’s as if I had a sign on my forehead saying “In Need of Whitening: Approach at Will”.  It’s weird how even in this age of political correctness and Naomi Campbell, Filipinos still automatically equate beauty with fair, cancer-prone skin. And have you noticed how they use naturally white people like Lucy Torres and aforementioned sales lady to endorse their product, in a strategy to make us brownies insecure? In fairness, it’s generally easier to find something that’s bright than dark. It’s less straining to the eyes. Bright surfaces reflect instead of absorb light, making everything else around them brighter. My mother most of all has always wished my skin were whiter. She says I was born reddish, and was worried I would take after my kayuman...
