Here’s an interesting idea. I don’t know what benefits can be derived from rotating the different Mt. Province mayors — they will serve as “guest mayors” for two days in the province’s ten towns — but if I am a mayor with aspirations for a higher office, I sure will take this opportunity to build political bridges.
If this will help create a new pool of provincial leaders attuned to the needs of the different parts of the province and who can challenge the old order, then I am all for it.

Here’s an interesting story about a high school student from the Mt. Province General Comprehensive High School (MPGCHS). If her name sounds a little familiar, it may be because you read a blog post which included her name in our other blog.

The Sagada Song / Hymn
March 29th, 2008 — Sagada
This post is dedicated to the Sagada-philes among you and for the iSagadas away from home. I think the song was written and composed by Dennis Faustino of St. Mary’s School. Video credit goes to shayenne88.
Just a correction on the lyrics that you’ll see in the video:
* It’s “traveled hills” not “troubled hills”
* It’s “all laden with pine” not “O’laden with pines”
* It’s “dressed in green” not “dress in green”
* It’s “spawned my love” not “spoiled my love”
