Balesin Island Club: Balesin Clubhouse

As this clubhouse is named after the island, you can conclude that this is probably be the biggest and best clubhouse in Balesin Island. Located just a few meters away from the runway, this serves as the check-in and check-out venue of all guests staying in the island. The entire village being Filipino-themed, the clubhouse itself looked more of a giant nipa hut housing modern amenities that people from all age-groups would enjoy. Even though there are only selected sections in the clubhouse that has air-conditioning system, wind circulation has been great because of the design of the clubhouse. Ceiling fans are also installed in areas that may get warmer during summer days. In addition, this clubhouse also has the best swimming pool in the island with the infinity pool concept. Because of the lovely scenery and calm waters from the pool and the sea, there are actually a lot of people who relax by the pool area and read books while enjoying a glass of fresh fruit juice.

Below are some photos of the Balesin Clubhouse:

What will happen now?

Have you ever seen a group of men chasing a dog, to kill it for the pot? Not a pretty sight. But that is what will happen here in the next year or so.

Oil Prices have been increasing very fast. I don't even know now how much the price of gas is. All I know now is, it increased again yesterday. I remember last year, my full tank would cost around 2,800.00 pesos. Right now, it would reach 3,500.00 pesos! talk about flying money!

Tomorrow, major transport groups are going to hold a Metro Manila-wide transport strike to protest the rising cost of petroleum products and the traffic citation tickets issued by the national and local governments.

I wonder if it will succeed... For the past transportation strikes, they didn't succeed because, everyone needs money to make a living. Some drivers wouldn't want to cooperate because, they earn money they need to spend for the day. One day not working is one day not eating.

Lets just see tomorrow. Hope I can get some photos for the strike.

Abuse on "8" plates around Metro Manila -

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is seeking a dialogue with the new leadership of the House of Representatives for a review of the issuance of the congressional protocol plate, which has been subject to abuse by unscrupulous groups.

LTO chief Alberto Suansing said among the proposals he would like to discuss with Speaker Prospero Nograles is indicating the district of the congressman on his vehicle’s protocol plate.

He said that because the congressional districts are not indicated on the protocol plates, fake ones are used by people to avoid obeying traffic rules and car smugglers in slipping out unregistered vehicles from various ports in the country.

"We will seek the issuance of tamper-proof protocol plates, just like those issued to senators, justices, and Cabinet members," Suansing said.

He also pointed out that except for vehicles that belong to the Office of the President, all cars are supposed to have a protocol plate in front and regular LTO-issued plates at the rear.

Suansing expressed concern over the proliferation of fake plates, the latest report of which involves a Hummer H2 that is now the subject of a metropolis-wide alert because it is allegedly not registered with the LTO.

The Hummer, which bore an ‘8’ plate in front and a 2007 California plate 7P78127 at the back, was escorted by a White Fortuner when it was spotted cruising along Roxas Boulevard last week.

The White Fortuner was traced to a Binondo trader engaged in the trucking business at the Port of Manila.

I agree. You know whats better? A law which don't have double standards.

If you are a real Senator, hanging an "8" in your license plate, does that make you a immune to traffic violations? When you are a government official up high, you should be following rules and regulations more. You guys make it and you guys break it.

For those who have escorts while traversing the Metro, I think you should try driving around without back-up security to open your eyes on the road situation here in the Philippines. Having a back-up escort means, securing you, guarding you and not counter-flowing, breaking laws you made and abusing your power.

Why Philippines Failed

MMDA personnel said protesting residents allegedly hurled stones at them while they were dismantling the shanties.

Arthur Nieva of the MMDA said the shanties were ordered demolished to make way for the agency's flood control project.

Residents appealed to the MMDA to postpone the demolition while they are waiting for the relocation site that was promised to them.

The agency, however, still demolished the shanties. Officials said that the residents have been notified thrice but they still refused to leave the area.

This is the reason why Philippines is not improving at all. This is why almost all our politicians are corrupt. On their campaign period, what they need to do is reach out to the large population of people in poverty (I am not saying this is a bad thing, I am just saying, they are patronizing them just to get their votes. I am sure this activity is not from their hearts.)

They do nothing but promote themselves to Public Utility drivers (Bus, Jeep, Taxi) even when they are already violating traffic laws. This is why Bayani has to implement the Pink Fence in EDSA. Those Bus drivers are like rats inside a boxed maze. without the walls, they will go directly to the cheese disregarding signs (Passengers = Cheese), there are tons of signs in EDSA but as i have said, they are rats and sadly, rats don't know how to read.

Those illegal squatters are another thing. Politicians defend them to get their hearts (and votes, of course.) And this is why plenty of people loves bayani (but more people will hate him.) because, people living in those squatters area will hate him and People who, owns that land, and those who appreciate what he is doing with Metro Manila (For the better, because good economy, more jobs. More jobs, less poverty = less squatters.) Those in the squatters area think only of short term goals. and this is the reason why Philippines has no hope. unless someone is strongly willed enough to control these people and is not afraid of the "masses".

Conclusion: Politicians love the masses because they compose of the larger chunk in our population thus, creating a failing economy. You think GMA is doing a good job because of the increaing peso value? no. Presidents CAN control the value of the peso. One good economic success indicator is the poverty rate.
