We have been quite busy these last two weeks so we have not had a weekly roundup on Cordillera affairs as we did in the previous weeks. Anyways, to make up for that, we decided to do a round-up on what’s being said in the blogosphere.
If your spouse leaves you, files for divorce and marries in the U.S. can you file a bigamy case against him/her? Who will win in Kalinga’s congressional race? What would you do if a cement company builds roads to your barangay but destroys your mountains? Are you planning to watch the movie “300” but don’t know whether it is a good one?
Let us congratulate our kailians who passed the Science and Technology scholarships offered by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). Giving scholarships to deserving students is one praiseworthy thing that the government is doing. Again congratulations to the scholars, you are a big help to your parents. Kaya ang lahat dapat mag-aral ng mabuti (tulad ng ating cartoon) para maging iskolar. Click the link below for the list of scholars from the Cordilleras. For complete national results (in PDF files) go here and here.

Since not all of us can go to Halsema to see the opium poppies planted by our kailian from Atok, Benguet (who was not aware that she was planting opium and that opium is illegal), I decided to upload this video which would hopefully make us a little more familiar with what the plant looks like.
