There is something revealing about a person who celebrates another person’s downfall, especially when that person did nothing to deserve it.

It takes little character to find joy in someone else’s pain. True character is shown in how we respond to the misfortunes of others, particularly those who have done us no wrong.

Someone else’s failure does not make you greater, nor does their suffering make your own life more meaningful. If another person’s undeserved loss becomes your reason to celebrate, perhaps the problem was never their success, but your inability to be at peace with it.

Not every downfall is justice, and not every victory belongs to the deserving. Sometimes, good people suffer, and those who celebrate their suffering reveal more about themselves than they ever could about the person who fell.

Be careful of mistaking another person’s misfortune for your own triumph. The measure of a person is not how loudly they celebrate when someone falls, but whether they can remain decent when life gives them a reason not to be.

“Ayaw kalipay sa kapildihan sa uban, kay ang kinabuhi puno sa kalit nga pagbag-o. Ang kalisod nga ilang giagian karon, basin ikaw na pud ugma.”

I am very well aware of who is behind all the problems that my father is facing right now. I tell you right now, you will never be an option to me, not because you are not capable but because of your character.

Mao ni atoang approved rate sa mga 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗟 (𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱) using Bulk water

Minimum - 236
11-20cubic - 26.25
21- 30 cubic - 28.75
31- up - 45

So okay…. If for example using this water bill naa tay 84 cu.m nga na konsumo this means nga mao ni atoang computation:

1st bracket 0-10cu: minimum = 236 pesos
2nd bracket 11-20cu: 10 x 26.25 = 262.5 pesos
3rd bracket 21-30cu: 10 x 28.75 = 287.5 pesos
4th bracket 31-84cu: 54 x 45 = 2,430 pesos

Total: 3216 pesos

(Based on our investigation, this bill was from a homeowner who owns at least 20-22 hogs/small piggery.)

Sa mga naay complaints sa ilahang bills mahimo ra ta mu bisita sa atong BWS office to have your questions answered and ug naa pod moy need nga ipa ayo kung naay mga technical nga problema such as possible leaks or meters nga guba.

We are open to criticism and accountability. What matters is that we address concerns based on facts, proper verification, and the best interests of the entire community. 🙏

Our commitment is simple: reliable water service, accurate billing, and responsible management of the people’s water system. ☀️🙏

Around this time, five years ago, in October 2021, my mother was diagnosed with COVID-19 while serving as the Municipal Health Officer of Borbon.

Looking back, I am reminded of the dedication, passion, and sense of duty she carried as a doctor and public servant. Even in the face of personal risk, she continued to fulfill her responsibilities to the people of Borbon, putting service above self.

What makes this memory even more meaningful is that, five years later, she and my father, who was the Municipal Mayor at the time, continue to face litigation over allegations of nepotism in connection with their public service.

It is difficult to reconcile the sacrifices made in serving the people with the burden of having to defend oneself in legal proceedings. But through it all, I remain proud of my parents and the years they have devoted to Borbon. I trust that the process will run its course and that the facts will speak for themselves.

Time may pass, but the sacrifices of public service and the values we stand for will always be part of our story. ❤️

Yesterday’s engagement with Assistant Secretary Rea De Vega, LMP Cebu Chapter President Mayor Didoy Suan and some of the Provincial Mayors of Cebu to discuss matters concerning the Local Government Support Fund (LGSF) with the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).

An opportunity to strengthen coordination, align priorities, and work together in addressing the development needs of our respective local government units for the benefit of our communities.
