The View of Pugalo
The photos below were taken when i went home last July 17 at our barangay Pugalo. I went home because i was excited to upload this pictures in this blog and I was excited also to use my first usb flash drive. But the main reason why I went home was to secure a copy of a Barangay and Police Clearance because I do have plan to get a driver's liscence. I was hesitantly excited to learn how to drive a motorcycle in the city where I used to work right now. I want to learn driving not for fun but because I realized that driving is a skill I can use for my future.
But anyway, the photos below has no connections on my driving a motorcycle or any cars soon. I've just utilized my time since I went home and I was free to use the digital camera of my aunte betty and I grabbed the oppurtunity to roam just 25% of the place of our barrio and took pictures of the landmarks so that if friends who have no idea about my place will no longer dismay and as early as possible they familiarized the places and the environments. So take a look guys...
Many photos soon when I will be going home again this comming August 27 to attend the annual fiesta of our town, Alcoy and watch the much awaited "Siloy Festival".

Barangay Pugalo
Pugalo is a barangay in Alcoy, Cebu, Philippines. It is known for its large deposit of dolomite mineral. With a size of 571 hectares of mining claims and an estimated balance of deposits at 220 million metric tons, since the extraction began in 1981, it is currently the world's biggest dolomite mining found in Asia. It is for this mining activity that the town of Alcoy has earned for itself a monicker, the dolomite town of the Philippines.
Pugalo has an area of 4.818036 km² comprising three sitios (a political subdivision of barangay) with a total population of 1,869 as of Year 2000 census. Most of the population are native inhabitants who have developed their own distinct dialect and speech timbre.
Legend has it that the name of the barangay was believed to have been derived from a fugitive man named Alo during the Spanish period. If it were true, then the christening of the barangay was unique in itself if compared to other places. The naming convention at that time, according to some legends, have been based on how the Spaniards interpreted the answers they got from the locals asking about the name of the place where they were in. Unable to comprehend sompletely the strange language, the locals would somewhat respond rather indistinctly, often in one or two words, that the Spaniards thought was the name of the place.
Today, Pugalo is a progressive barangay whose major income comes from dolomite mining. Its main economic activities, aside from mining, include subsistence farming, fishing, and to a lesser extent, retailing and services. Although tourism is not yet an income-generating industry, the barangay has a few interesting natural wonders especially its rich marine resources. It has a barrier reef running parallel to the contour of the barangay's shoreline. Its coral reefs are among the most diverse in this part of the country which would potentially earn for the barangay much-needed revenue if developed.
Pugalo is the northernmost barangay of Alcoy bounded to the north by Dalaguete, to the south by barangay Pasol, to the east by Cebu Strait, and to the west by Nug-as. Its distance is almost three kilometers from the town proper called Poblacion, the seat of the town.
Its patron saint is St. Joseph, Foster Father of Jesus (San Jose) and its annual feastday {barangay fiesta} falls every last Sunday of March.
Pugalo is 88 kilometers from the city and is approximately 2 hours away via bus or car. One can catch a bus (regular or with air-con) ride from the South Bus Terminal in Cebu City bound for Oslob or Dumaguete in Negros island.

My Diary
August 3, 2008
It was Sunday. I was expecting my day would be very busy since it is a holiday, and a famliy day to most people. And perhaps a religious day since most of the people are going to church. But for us who work in a chicken grilled house are quite busy during these days. That was my expectations. And that is what I thoughtwould be happen this day.
But I was wrong. Yes. Business is still operating. And daily habits are still working as a routine. Buy a few pieces chilled chicken in a department store or in a supplier. But t'was just a few pieces- just enough to operate to four active stores: Mabolo, Lahug, Wireless, and Lacion. We buy only few because we are only depending to the cash we have on hand.
Meaning, we're just doing the same thing over and over again. The sales we have in the morning will be collected to buy another goods wether in Makro or Mlhuillier. It depends on how many are sold, its amount is the only cash we can buy. The more, the plenty. The less- no comment! As long as there is a money that we can exchange for goods.
That same thing happened up to the evening. But it was a kinda hectic sked for me. I do have important meetings to attend to before 6pm. But the time we have in work does not commensurate to my scheduled meeting. I asked permission to my employer that I will be out at 5pm. Going to the church was my given reason so that he will allow me to go.
How important my meeting is? Well, all I can say is that it can evaluate my inner feelings, my decisions, what's my real score about my lovelife! Yes, I had a meeting with Christine. She was my girlfriend. I said "was" because we had just broke up just a month ago. Andnow we are going to meet again. For old time sake? Maybe. But no. I'm just giving back her clothes she left in Alcoy when she went there along with me wayback October and November 2007. (You can read the details of our relationship in the following page "What about my lovelife").

Flight of the Siloy
In a cool bamboo grove in northern Cebu, Francisco Bacolod looked ahead towards a hill and whistled.
The tune hung in the air. Before he could finish, the answer came.
In the clear afternoon light, the melody returned – a bird singing for six seconds or longer.
“That was a siloy,” said “Frankie”.
Known for its long and uninterrupted melody, the siloy is nature’s “alarm clock” for farmers and wakes them up at dawn, he explained.
If by some magic spell Bacolod grew wings, he could easily mingle with Cebu’s indigenous bird population.
The “bird man” of barangay Casili, Consolacion town is a walking avian archive. He knows by heart the names of about 50 native birds – its local, scientific, and English names, including their peculiar sounds and traits. He is probably the only Cebuano with this remarkable skill of mimicking bird calls of this range.
The shy, low-flying siloy, also known by its other local name, the Black Shama, is difficult to draw out into the open. The territorial bird is suspicious of human beings in its habitat.
Bacolod demonstrated that part of his skill last July to a Cebu Daily News team which visited him in his hut in barangay Casili, where patches of tertiary growth forest are fast being squeezed out by subdivision development.
One Siloy flew towards him but stayed at a distance, singing out in reply.
