" A Menace to the Environment!"

Doing business is good especially for the growth of economy at the same time for the welfare of human species as a whole but if the health and environment are affected due to encroachment then probably it should not be tolerated and be corrected. There are so many categories to consider as whether a certain entity doing business with or without giving a pain in the neck not only to humanity but rather to the community as well. This is true as what I experienced thru the years as pen pusher. But the velocity of this matter nevertheless dragged on unwise decision in favor of profit-hungry firms. I would like to dwell one of the operating corporation in Natumulan, Tagoloan in the province of Misamis Oriental. Their operation is just beside the perennial river of the said municipality. The entity is producing bio-fuel for the distribution on various oil dealers which named ARchem Corp. that according to the respective residents living along the river is spewing putrid odor and that they felt the substance where health authorities believe to be very detrimental to human health. They discharge their alleged toxic waste not only ones but couple of times. Sighting some small granules of bubbles that flows with fey odor wherein said substance are very dangerous. Our goal here is to protect human lives within the affected areas, perhaps DENR-EMB must conduct deeper investigation on this matter. According to the head of operations of ARchem Corp. they comply the requisites imposed by the said government agency. But the question here why despite of it the presence of foul odor still exists. Not only these, it also endangered some rare fish
species in the river. This is lofty ridiculous. Do I smell fishy here? Remember company go for profit and they will move mountains just to rake for it no matter what it takes. Perhaps, ARchem Corp. should avoid on this thrown aligations and prove negatively, but if found positive that the company is discharging toxic waste then, I may say close shop is the best remedy. Mayor Nadya Emano Elipe must look deeper into this mess as early to shun on further downright criticism to address the voice of the people and as being the local chief executive of the said municipality. A copy of this column of mine on Instagram will be sent to fearless Senator Raffy Tulfo for an inch of reaction and to call the attention of the said corporation

"TEST OF TIME"
The quest for contentment coupled with sincere acceptance on whatever level are highly touted as ingredients that led on unrefutable gesture towards mind stability. It aims an essence of a certain goal for every heads. It is in here that gave a primary focus so as grinded notions will always be pushed. Henceforth reflects the effigy and in depth strength of the subject where intentions is for the sole benefit of concerned in this society as whether it is physical as well as on moral aspect. This is true as we observed thru the years where others failed because of being laxed. In our country political system never changed. Vote buying, politicking corruption, vested interests, goons, lies as well as cheating always roll. These factors completed said criterias why our country suffer much. The pucking curse remains the all-time favourite of all polits and to add-on political leeches and pawns with a demon whisper to navigate on the creation of polishing deceitful acts. Can we trust any politician now? This is a multi-million question where I believe that people from all walks of life are mum and nobody probably can resolve it. At first, there are some who make the bullish move but later on subside to silence. This is our culture and no one can refute on it. This is absolutely bu****it. We carry this kind of scenario on our shoulders through the years and yet no one checked on this matter. Just love one's vision for the welfare of the people, for sure at the end it will bear fruits. At any rate, let's have a meager peep on Misamis Oriental politics. The recent feat of Gov. Peter Unabia as president of Governors league on Northern Mindanao is an infinite boost for his political career, making a new wave and strength on where he is now. Is this a preparation for another journey in politics? Remember the postponement of SK and barangay elections, manifest a long built-up for Gov. Peter Unabia to adopt a fresh strategy for a strong bailwick to pin down the incunvent chief executive of Cagayan De Oro. If he will be able to persuade more than 50% of the barangay officials then I may say, it's possible that the latter will be the next important man in the city of Cagayan De Oro which completes the list of his political career. To recall, Gov. Unabia is all time undefeated in all level as a polit. I never belittle any political heads but this is it.
