Ephesians 5:14

“For anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

What is citizen journalism?

It is a new way

of journalism whereas the public citizens get to play an active role in the process of dis-seminating news to the public.

Their job is like that of a real journalist or a practitioner, but the dif-ference is that they are going to use the social media or the internet as a medium. Of course, they cannot write sto-ries in an offi cial print news source yet. They might have to go a long way before that.

The authority and other media sources are already talking about building an engaged net-work of citizen journal-ism in the country. They want to enhance the cit-izens’ knowledge about journalism. They want them to practice journal-istic and investigative skills in order for the citizens to participate in the process of delivering news and information to the public body.

They’re already in the process of conducting workshops around the communities that need-ed attention of the pub-lic or the government. The media sources are trying to reach out to the communities that are hardly been visited by the media. They instruct the citizens on how to research, conduct inter-views, and use the so-

cial media as medium and delivering news just like a real practitioner.

But there might be an issue. As a citizen journalist, they are like the public voice who is a representative for the whole of public. And be-ing a journalist is to stay objective and profes-sional. And that might be an issue because if you are the public voice, of course you will somehow be subjective because you report based on what the public is thinking, thus there will be preju-dice for that matter.

Also, by being a jour-nalist, you will have to get a better picture of what is happening beyond the wall. You will have to get through the wall in order for you to get a good look at what is happening. And are the citizen jour-nalists ready to take the risk to smash the wall in pieces in order to make judgement calls? And with bare hands at that?

Reporting or dissemi-nating news and informa-tion is not just about turn-ing cell phone devices to the situation and capture it then post it with a cap-tion on social media for the world to see. It is not easy like that.

Citizen journalists can also be a tool to abuse the power of the media. They might use it to their advan-tage, just like other media sources these days.

If a real media prac-titioner who studied for years knows the media code of ethics, are able to make judgement calls and knows what or what not to report still uses their power to their advantage, and then cit-izen journalists might need a lot of years of practice and control in order to become a true practitioner.

They cannot be a prac titioner instantly by one session or two workshops anyway.

Prayer:Jesus shine down Your light of revelation.on me that I may see what causes the darkness in me and that I may fi nd what I seek. Amen.

NA PA N O O D ko sa balita sa telebisyon tungkol sa

pagkaing nasasay-ang na ang karami-hang left over foods ay nasasama lang sa basura na dinadala

sa materials recovery facilty (MRF) sa mga barangay.

Sa tuwinang ako ay na-kukumbida sa handaan na karaniwang catering ang serbisyo sa pagpapaka-in, inoobserbahan ko ang mga bisitang nakatapos nang kumain. Nakita ko sa kanilang mga pinggan ang maraming ulam at kanin na hindi nila naubos.

Gayundin sa restoran na "eat all you can" o buf-fet na marami ring pag-kaing natitira sa pinggan ang mga kostumer kahit pa may karatulang naka-lagay sa loob ng restoran na walang magtitira ng pagkain sa pinggan.

Ugali na kasi ng mga Pinoy na kukuha ng san-damakmak na ulam kung buffet ang hain, pero hin-

di naman kayang ubusin ang pagkain sa kanilang mga pinggan. Kung hindi makasama sa basura ang mga tirang pagkain ay mapupunta lang sa timba ng kaning-baboy.

Dapat isipin ng ating mga kababayan na maraming Pinoy ang ma-gugutom. May mga kaba-bayan tayo na minsanan lang masayaran ng pag-kain ang kanilang mga sikmura araw- araw.

Kaya kung hindi rin lang makakapag-share ang mga kababayan natin na palaging masagana ang kanilang mga hapag-kain-an, huwag naman kayong mag-aksaya sa pagkain.

Isipin na lang na kapag itinatapon ninyo ang mga tirang pagkain sa basura-han, ang mga ipis, at mga

daga lang ang naki-kinabang sa pagkain na inyong itinatapon.

Magsilbing aral sana sa lahat ang mensa-he na hindi dapat na nag-aaksaya sa pagka-in at isaisip palagi ang pakikipag kapwa-tao. Kung kaya rin lang tu-mulong sa mga taong higit na nangangailan-gan, gawin na ngayon at huwag nang ipagpa-bukas.

Alalahanin ang aw-iting "Pananagutan" na inaawit sa misa: "Walang sinoman ang nabubuhay para sa sar-ili lamang. Tayong lahat ay may pananagutan sa isa't isa." Isaisip natin ang gintong kaisipan sa mensahe ng naturang awiting pang simbahan.

MA L U G O D na tinang-gap ni G u i g u i n -

to Mayor Ambrosio ‘Boy” Cruz, Pangulo ng Liga ng mga Al-kalde sa Bulacan, ang pormal na pag-iin-dorso ng Mayor Ro-drigo Roa Duterte Ex-ecutive Coordinating Committee (MRRD NECC), ang binuong isang political party na makikilala bilang Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, sa isang pu long na ginanap sa Agatha Homes Ho-tel and Resturant sa nasabing bayan.

Kabilang sa mga du-malo sa nasabing pulong ay sina Acting Governor VG Daniel R. Fernando, na nagpahayag na mal-aki ang kanyang panini-wala at tiwala sa liderato ni Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte, mula nang ito ay manungkulan bil-ang pinakamataas na lider ng ating bansa, kaya nais niyang magkaroon ng bahagi sa nasabing partido kung kinakailan-gan, kasama ang libong bilang mga Bulakenyo na patuloy na sumusuporta sa Federalismo na isinu-sulong ng kasalukuyang administrasyon.

Sinabi naman ni May-or Boy Cruz, na isinumiti na sa tanggapan ng Com-mission on Elections, ang akreditasyon ng Partido Federal ng Pilipinas at hinihintay na lamang ng mga opisyal at kasa-pi nito ang baliditasyon upang kilalanin ito bil-ang isang poliyical party sa bansa

Ipinaliwanag naman ni Retired Col. Danilo Bu gay, MRRD NECC Bu-lacan Provincial Chair-man, na ang Partido Fed-eral ng Pilipinas ay binuo noon pang nakaraang buwan ng Abril ng kasa-lukuyang taon, na nan-

glalayong suportahan ang mga magagandang programa ng liderato ni Pangulong Duterte para sa kapakanan ng milyong bilang ng mga mamamayang Pilipino na naniniwala na ma-gagawang baguhin ng kasalukuyang admin-istrasyon ang lumang sistemang pina-iiral sa bansa sa pamamagitan ng pagsusulong ng Fed-eralismo.

Good luck and more power po Mr. President. Ang tagumpay ninyo sa inyoing mga layunin ay tagumpay rin ng Sam-bayanang Pilipino.

SA layunin na ma kamit ang isang drug-free Bulacan, nag-or-

ganisa si Bise Gob. Daniel R. Fernando at ang Damayang Filipi-no, sa pakikipagtulun-

gan ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan ng Bu-lacan at ng Bulacan State University, ng isang celebrity basket-ball shoot-out kaalins-abay ng pagbubukas ng klase sa Agosto 9, 2018,

ala-1:00 ng hapon sa Ac-tivity Center ng BulSU.

Dadaluhan ang ce-lebrity shoot-out na may temang “Bola Kontra Droga” ng mga sikat na personalidad kabilang sina Mansueto “Onyok” Velasco, Matt Evans, Ja-son Abalos, Mark Herras, Joross Gamboa, Joseph Bitangcol, Marco Alcaraz, Jordan Herrera, JC Ti-useco at Derick Hubalde.

Naniniwala si Fernan-do na maaaring iligtas ang mga kabataan sa pan-ganib na dulot ng droga kung itutuon ang kanil-ang atensyon sa nakalili-bang ngunit kapaki-pak-inabang na mga gawain.

“Isang maganda at healthy na paraan upang maiiwas ang atensyon ng mga kabataan sa iligal na gawain katulad ng bawal na gamot ay ang hikayatin sila na matuto ng isports. Sa pamamag-itan nito, hindi lamang nila mapasisigla ang kanilang pangangatawan bagkus ay kaya rin nilang hikayatin ang iba pang kabataan sa magagan-dang benepisyong dulot nito,” ani Fernando.

Gayundin, magkaka-roon ng celebrity shoot-out sa Setyembre 4, 2018 sa PUP-Santa Maria.

MAY posibi-lidad na m a ki la la ang Bula-

can bilang isang fi rst class na lalaw-igan sa bansa ka-pag naisakatuparan na ang malaking proyektong isinusu-long ni Bulacan First District Represen-tative Jose Antonio “Kuya Jonathan” R. Sy- Alvarado, na ma-kahihimok sa mga kilalang negosyante sa bansa at sa mga dayuhang mamu-muhunan na maka-

pag-bibigay ng maram-ing hanapbuhay sa mga mamamayang Bu-lakenyong residente sa limang mga bayan.

Ayon sa paliwanag ni Congressman Jonathan Sy Alvarado, nakapla-no ng itayo sa Bulacan ang isang Metroport, na pinagsamang airport at seaport, dahil walang gaanong sagabal na mga kabundukan ang lalawigan ng Bulacan, at walang magiging proble-ma sa paglipad at pagla-pag ng mga eroplano

Sinabi pa ni Congress-man Jonathan, na hindi ito basta isang pasilidad lamang ng mga eroplano o kaya ay daungan ng mga barko, dahil magtatayo rin sa nasabing lugar ng mga malalaking establisi-myento na tutugon sa mga serbisyong kailangan ng maraming mga turista o mga balikbayan sa kanil-ang pag-alis at pagdating sa bansa, na katulad ng mga fi ve star hotel, fi rst class restaurant, at mga malalaking mall,

Aniya, maaari ding maging tugon sa mal-aking suliranin ng ka-

maynilaan sa masikip na daloy ng trapiko, dahil hindi na luluwas pa ang mga Bulakenyo at ang mga residente sa kalapit na mga lalaw-igan, maging ang mga residente sa may baha-gi ng Norte na maglal-akbay palabas ng ban-sa, dahil hindi na nila kailangang magpunta pa sa Ninoy Aquino In-ternational Airport.

Ang limang mga bayan sa Bulacan na pangunahing makiki na-bang sa proyektong ito ay ang bayan ng Calumpit, Paombong, Hagonoy, Ma lolos at Bulakan; At naniniwala ang butih-ing kongresista na ang proyektong ito ay isang malaking ambag sa kaunlaran ng kanilang lalawigan, na bagamat mangangailangan pa ng sapat at mahabang pana-hong pag-aaral bago mai-sakatuparan.

Keep up the good work Kuya Jonathan. Bulak-enyo’s are always behind you to support all your programs and projects.

GOD Bless and more power. Mabuhay ka…

MA R A M I ang nagu-lat mata-pos na bu-

mulaga sa mga TV screen ang pagmu-mukha nitong si Pam-panga Congresswom-an Gloria Macapagal Arroyo bago mag-simula ang ikatlong taong State of the Na-tion Address o SONA ng ating Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte kamakailan.

Para mo na ring nakita sa kanyang in-asal ang isang barker o tagatawag ng mga pasahero ng mga pu-mapasadang pampasa-herong jeep na sumis-igaw at nanghihikayat ng kanyang mga kasa-mahang mga Kongre-sista na umakyat at sa-mahan siya sa Podium.

Ilang ulit na sinubu-kan nitong gamitin ang mga mikropono para sa kanyang isinasaga-wang pananawagan.

Pero hindi talaga binuhay ng mga tech-nician ang mga mikro-pono.

Kaya ayon nagsisi-sigaw na lang si Gloria para makatawag ng

pan sin sa kanyang mga ka alyado.

Na ang dahilan pala ng kanyang mga pagta-tawag ay ang pagpapalit noon din ng liderato sa Mababang Kapulungan ng Kongreso.

Na ilang saglit lang ang nakalipas ay pina-panumpa na agad si Congresswoman Arroyo bilang bagong House Speaker ng Kongreso ng kanyang mga naging ka-alyado.

Na matapos itong ma-kapanumpa ay palitang inupuan nito ang tatlong upuan sa Podium na na-kalaan talaga ang isa na nasa kanang bahagi sa Senate President, ang gitnang upuan ay para sa Pangulo ng bansa at yung nasa kaliwang bahaging upuan ay para sa Speaker of the House.

Ang buong akala ng lahat ay hindi na baba-ba pa sa Podium itong si Arroyo at hihintayin na lamang ang pagdating ng Pangulong Duterte para ipagmaraling siya na ang bagong Speaker of the House ng Kongreso

Pero bumangon ang napakaraming katanun-gan ng maya-maya la-mang ay lumapag na sa compound ng Congress ang sinakyang chopper ng Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.

Dahil ang sumalubong sa Pangulo ay sina Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto at House Speaker Pantaleon "Bebot" Alva-rez pa rin.

Samantalang 'yung bagong nakapanumpang House Speaker na si Ar-royo ay nakaupo lang sa podium.

Noon nabuo na sa isip ng mga manonood na nagkaroon ng puwersah-ang pagpapalit ng lider-ato o kudeta sa Kongreso.

Na ang pangyayaring iyon ay siyang dahilan diumano ng pagkakaan-tala ng SONA ng Pangu-long Duterte na tumagal ng may mahigit na isang oras.

Mas matagal pa ang ipinaghintay ng lahat kesa sa naging pag-uulat ng Pangulong Duterte.

Na kung hindi pa uma-no bumaba sa podium itong si Gloria ay mala-mang sa hindi natuloy ang SONA ng Pangulong Duterte.

Kaya inulan ng kali-wa't kanang mga pagpu-na at pagbatikos itong si Congresswoman Ar-royo sa pagkakabalam ng SONA ng Pangulong Dutertte.

Muli na naman tuloy nahalukay ang mga pan-git na kasaysayan kung bakit ito naging Pangulo ng bansa.

Una ay ang pagka-kapaluklok sa kanya ng mga Yellowshits sa dikta at suporta ng mga CIA na nagalit noon kay dating Pangulong Joseph "Erap" Estrada dahil sa pagpa-palayas umano nito sa mga kano na nakabase sa Subic Bay.

Ang ikalawa ay ang pandarayang nagawa

umano nito sa halalan gamit ang sumikat na "Hello Garci" kung kaya siya ang muling naging Pangulo ng bansa.

Na kung saan ay si King of Philippine Movie Fernando Poe Jr. noon ang kanyang na-kalaban sa pagka-Pan-gulo.

Na siyang naging da-hilan diumano ng maa-gang pagkamatay ni Poe matapos na hindi matanggap ang naging pagkatalo sa naganap na halalan sa pamam-agitan umano ng panda-raya.

Ngayong nabalik na naman diumano itong si Gloria sa mataas na posisyon sa Gobyerno, ang tanong ng mama-mayan ay hindi kaya gamitin lang nito ang kanyang kasalukuyang tungkulin para maka-ganti sa mga taong dati niyang mga kaalyado at siyang nagluklok sa kan-ya para maging Pangulo ng ating bansa noon, na siya rin namang na-glaglag sa kanya para maipakulong?

Nasa kanino na daw kaya ngayon ang loy-alty nitong si Gloria? Nasa mamamayan na kaya? Nasa Pangulong Duterte o balik ulit sa kanyang mga dating kaalyado?

At ang huling kata-nungan ng ating mga kababayan ay "Tama ba ang naging proseso ng pagpapalit ng lider-ato ng Kongreso?

Sa pagbisita ng dating Pangulo, ipinabatid ni Kinatawan Jose Antonio Sy-Alvarado ng Unang Distrito ng Bulacan sa dating pangulo na ha-los sampung taon nang hindi naipahuhukay ang naturang mga kailugan na pawang nagkikita sa bayan ng Calumpit.

Ayon kay Francis Nu-ñez mula sa Bureau of Equipment ng Depart-ment of Public Works and Highways, ang multi-pur-pose amphibious dredger na ipinagkaloob sa bayan ng Calumpit ang pinak-abagong modelo mula sa Finland at inaasahang magtatanggal ng 165 cu-bic meter kada oras na dredged materials mula sa kailugan at nagkaka-halaga ng P45 milyon.

NALALAPIT na naman ang Tangla-wan Festi-

val, na sumisimbolo ng liwanag, na siyang gumagabay sa bawat naisin, tahakin, tun-go sa dakila at kah-anga-hangang kina-bukasan sa bawat pamumuhay ng San Josenios.

Ang nasabing pagdiri-wang ay matagumpay na nailunsad noong 2016, kaalinsabay selebrasyon ng ika-16 taong aniber-saryo ng Lungsod ng San Jose Del Monte (LS-JDM,) na pinanguna-han nila Mayor Arturo B. Robes at Kongresista Florida P. Robes, sa pa-kikipagtulungan na rin ng mga San Josenios.

Ayon kay Shirley De Leon Abadilla, Kalihim ng Dep’t of Tourism, LS-JDM, “magsisimula ang Tanglawan Festival sa darating na September 1-9, 2018. Marami mga events ang itatanghal, humigit kumulang sa 27, meron pang dagdag.

Ito ay isasagawa sa Sports Complex ng Lungsod, Star Mall at SM. Magkakaroon tayo

ng ‘Art night market,’ sa Savanno Park, kung saan makikita at mabibili doon ang mga paninda na gawa sa San Jose, gayundin mula sa ibang lugar.

Kung noon ay naging masaya ang pagdiriwang, dahil sa pagsali natin sa Guinness Records, ngay-on ay lalong paiigtingin ang kinang at silahis ng Tanglawan. Magkaka-roon ng makukulay na ‘fi re works display,’ na gagawing paligsahan. Maraming ‘activities’ ang nakapaloob sa selebra-syon. Ilan pa dito ay ang ‘Arya-Aryahan street and show dance’ at ‘Concert’ sponsored ng GSM at Globe, mga sikat na banda ang magpaparinig ng mga magagandang musika, sa loob ng tatlong araw.

Isama na natin ang pagpaparada ng mga maningning na mga karosa ng kasayahan, mula sa bawat barangay at ang Sari-Saring Tinig (Group singing Competi-tion,) na gaganapin pa rin sa Savanno Park.”

Hinihikayat pa rin ni Shirley na makipag-ala-man ang lahat at makiisa sa darating na gaganap-ing selebrasyon ng Tangl-awan 2018. Inaasahan ng ating mga nakahuntahan na magiging mas maku-lay ang pagdiriwang ng Tanglawan Festival ngay-ong taon.

Tsk!Tsk! Tsk! Magig-ing lubhang abala ang lahat ng San Josenio sa isasagawang Tanglawan Festival. Palagay ko nag-sisimula ng mag-isip ang bawat barangay, kung anong disenyo ang kanil-ang gagawin sa kanilang Karosa ng Kasayahan, na ipaparada sa mga pa-ngunahing lansangan

ng LSJDM. Gayundin, dahil ang Fire works Display ay isang palig-sahan, ay tiyak na tiyak na magaganda at ma-giging makulay nga ang pagsabog ng mga pap-utok sa kalawakan.

Sa mga nabanggit ni Shirley ay isama na natin ang Mr. and Miss Tanglawan 2018, na gagawin sa Star Mall stage area. Hmmm... magagandang binibi-ni at naggagandahang kalalakihang San Jos-enios, ang silang mag-tatagisan ng talino.

Siyempre ang pag-bati sa gaganaping es-pesyal na pagdiriwang ay ating ipinaabot sa Ama ng Lungsod na si Mayor Arturo Robes, at kila Kongresista Flor-ida Robes, VM Efren Bartolome, Jr., CA Dr. Dennis Booth, sa lahat ng kawani ng pama-halaang Lungsod at sa lahat ng San Josenios. Mabuhay kayo!

Public Works and High-ways (DPWH), target na mahukay ang Labangan Channel ng 2 hanggang 3 metro upang maba-wasan ang palagiang at malalalim na pagbaha sa Calumpit. Tiniyak naman ni Speaker Arroyo na maglalatag din ng dredg-ing plan sa karugtong nitong Ilog Calumpit at sa Rio Grande de Pampanga, na kilala rin bilang Ilog Pampanga, na nag-uump-isa sa barangay Gatbuca sa bayang ito.

Ipinaliwanag pa ni Engr. Sison na ang pa-ghuhukay sa mga kailu-gan ng Bulacan ay bah-agi ng 18 prayoridad na mga pangunahing ilog na ipinapahukay ng admin-istrasyong Duterte.

Bulacan leaders’ dialogue boosts NLEX, DPWH road network expansion plans By RR ELEOGO

BULACAN leaders have expressed their full support for NLEX, DPWH road network expansion plans. In a recent dialogue with NLEX Corporation and the DPWH Regional of-fi ce, the leaders pushed for new access roads to ease daily traffi c con-gestion and improve travel convenience.

During the multi-stake-holders conference or-ganized by the NLEX Corporation, the tollway company also highlighted the proposed road network improvements around the Bocaue area in Bulacan and proposed regular meetings to monitor the progress and ensure their timely implementation.

“The implementation of these road projects will signifi cantly contribute to the decongestion of the Bocaue Interchange and Gov. Halili Avenue in Bo-caue and Santa Maria, Bulacan,” said Bulacan 2nd District Representa-tive Gavini “Apol” Pancho.

Among the road net-work improvements pro-posed by NLEX together with DPWH are the new NLEX access via Tam-bubong, a new Bocaue Interchange Bypass Southbound Entry, the expansion of the exist-ing Bocaue Interchange ramps, the development of the full Balagtas inter-change. Opening a direct access road within the Ci-udad de Victoria leading to Gov. Halili Avenue in Santa Maria, Bulacan is

also in the works.Representatives from

government agencies and local government units expressed support for these new road projects that are seen to encour-age economic growth, improve public services, and provide motorists and commuters with maxi-mum travel convenience and safety.

“The new road improve-ments are necessary to make Bulacan province more vibrant and attrac-tive to potential investors,” said CIBAC Party-List Representative Atty. Sher-win Tugna during the project presentation.

Likewise, DPWH Cen-tral Luzon Regional Di-rector Dong Tolentino affi rmed that the agency was prepared to support

the road network expan-sion along the NLEX leading to the national roads to further develop the growth of local busi-nesses in the province.

To help alleviate heavy traffi c conditions at the current Bocaue Interchange, priority will be given to a new southbound entry ramp in Brgy. Taal and north-bound entry and exit ramps will be constructed at Brgy. Tambubong. The future Interchange will serve as an alternative route for motorists bound for Pandi, Bulacan and nearby towns.

For its part, NLEX representatives said “we are grateful for the op-portunity to be able to better understand the situation on the ground

specially around Bocaue interchange. We gained valuable inputs from our stakeholders and we are committed to under-take the road network improvements together with the DPWH to help improve the daily traffi c situation.”

A new access road will also be built from Gov. F. Halili Avenue in Brgy. Turo to the southbound portion near the Bocaue Toll Plaza. With this new bypass, motorists coming from the west side of the NLEX will have an alter-nate route via the NLEX to Manila without passing through the heavily-trav-eled Bocaue Interchange.

The ramps of the Bo-caue Interchange will also be expanded to accommo-date the additional lanes

at the bridge currently be-ing constructed by the De-partment of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

The Balagtas Inter-change will also get a boost with the construc-tion of new northbound and southbound access roads. Motorists coming from Balagtas going to the north will no longer need to use local roads to use the Sta. Rita in-terchange. Eventually, motorists from the north

will also be able to exit at Balagtas southbound instead of using Bocaue interchange.

Bulacan province has been instrumental in the thriving economy of Cen-tral Luzon -- the country’s second fastest growing region which, according to National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), posted a 9.5% increase in its gross re-gional domestic product in 2016.

“The four slain robbers are yet to be identifi ed and recovered from them were two caliber. 45 gun, two .38 caliber revolvers, nine plas-tic sachets of suspected dried marijuana leaves and stolen items,” Bersaluna said.

‘‘The 2 motorcycle thieves were identifi ed only as a certain Alias “Bogart” and an Alias “Al-bina,” Bersaluna added.

Based on a report, the

two suspects tried to sell a stolen motorcycle for P35,000 in Graceville 1 Subdivision, Barangay Muzon in the City of San Jose del Monte. Suspects fi red their guns at po-lice operatives when they sensed the entrapment op-erations laid against them. Recovered were guns and stolen motorcycle.

On the other hand, Bersaluna also said that a total of 24 drug suspects including two minors were also apprehended in the towns of Plaridel, Balagtas, Pandi, San Ildefonso, Calumpit, Bo-caue and the City of San Jose Del Monte and yield-ed a total of 53 plastic sa-chets of suspected shabu,

Moreover, one was arrested during police response for Attempted Rape in Paombong, 2 mi-nor motorcycle thieves were nabbed in City of San Jose Del Monte and 1 for stabbing a Barangay Councilor in Calumpit.
