At the gate of Tomas Cabili elementary school, candidates’ volunteers giving out sample ballots to voters.

This man said, “Sakto na.” Apparently, he has had enough of the trash already.

Searching for her name and precinct.

PPCRV volunteer helping out voters find their precincts.

She just voted.

Good idea. Putting up this map would help the voters find their precincts easily.

Elderly lady looking for her name and precinct.

Sample ballots galore.

I went to Iligan City Central School to take some shots as well, then I bumped into this wacky creature called Bunsoy.

Sample ballots thrown on the pavement.

Young voters on their way to their precincts.

Throngs of people, old and young alike, on their way to their precincts at the Iligan City Central School.

Lining up to vote.

Pero ma disappointed lang. They have to wait for their turn in this holding area. Obviously, the faces are gloomy.

Not sure if the two men in Arab outfits have voted already, but they sure have a serious discussion.

Some sample ballots simply thrown away after they’re given.

The sample ballots at the side of the pathway.

I wonder if the candidates’ volunteers or even the candidates themselves would clean the mess after the elections.

My first photo of Eddie Villanueva. Here, he discussed about his plans after elected as senator.

He stressed that farmers, janitors, fishermen and all blue collar workers need to have a special bank, just like in Thailand.

After his speech, Villanueva is being interviewed by ABS-CBN, with him is New Life’s pastor Philamer “Cocoy” Sabarre and the lady is part of Villanueva delegation.

Here, pastor Cocoy, Iligan City councilor candidate Voltaire Rovira, Bro Eddie and Atty Lim.

The city’s Building Official is obviously not doing its job.

Commercial establishments, residents, churches, offices, and just about everyone in the city of waterfalls (not the group haha) have violated the National Building Code (NBC) article on sidewalks.

Goldmix Fastfood even fenced the public sidewalk with metal bars. A violation on the NBC.

Naa man lagi sidewalk?! Of course, pero dili enough. The house on the left may not have violated anything, but the officials should check into this if it followed the latest rules on sidewalks.

Ambassador Commercial also thinks the sidewalk is part of their property.

A shabby carenderia is also a culprit.

Motortrade has a sidewalk, but the motorbikes is filling it up. Better get a bigger space and a showroom.

In fairness, lamian ko sa chicken sa Boomer’s, but how they cordoned the sidewalk and even put a kitchen in the middle, just irritates me.

Building Official, asa na ka?

Jalexis Inn dont want people to use “their” sidewalk.

Renz Grille, yep, the sidewalk is for pedestrians.

Hhhm, maybe Loy’s rented out this sidewalk to the fruit vendors?

A friend owns this school, but sorry, it violated the rules on sidewalks.

The Catholic Cathedral is not innocent either.

And so are the protestants, the Kingdom Hall of the Jehovah’s Witnesses located in Badelles st.

The iconic food house of Iligan, is not friendly to pedestrians.

I really don’t like Epay’s food. Haha.

City Hall’s Building Official should be strict in implementing the rules on sidewalks.

The owners should adhere to this law on sidewalks, whether the Building Official is slack or strict. After all, it benefit us all, especially for our safety and during rainy and hot season.

After Sendong hit Iligan last year, sadness hovered all over the city. Understandably, the noise of the firecrackers became rare.

Mas okay hinoon na quiet. It has more positive. People can now spend the money on more useful things, and firecracker related injuries is lessened.

The seminar has been postponed several times, because the speaker Jerecho Placido is busy with his masteral studies in IIT.

Huge credits to Placido for having a heart to educate with financial literacy to the Filipinos, especially the Sendong survivors.

Jerecho Placido, preparing the slides

About 49 participated – adults, teens and children. Learning financial management at a young age, the better.

I’ve seen the situation of the survivors, and I always have the desire to help them rise from nothing and into something. I have limited finances to help them, but hopefully this seminar if they put it into practice, would even make them into somebody in the world of finance in the future.

In the closing minutes of the seminar, Jerecho challenged the crowd to save a “piso” a month as a start. Even I myself followed it.

Iligan is Signal 3 according to PAGASA.

Gaisano was surely was one of those. The last time I knew of a Gaisano, was the Gaisano main located dapit sa pier or merkado.

All photos was shot in December 2009.

This was shot in 2009, so the exterior has changed. The terrace or veranda has been removed to transform it into small spaces for shops.

I was riding a Tibanga jeepney while shooting this one.

The atrium area, or the central part of the mall. I was watching left and right before shooting this one. Masakpan nya ko sa guard.

I believe I shot this during a weekday, that’s there are only people inside the mall.
