Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, a man named Marcos, who fancied himself as the legendary Malakas built this monument for himself in the mountains of Tuba, Benguet.

He wanted a grand monument. It would be much much grander than Mt. Rushmore because he will have the mountain all to himself unlike Lincoln, and Washington, and that other President who had to share the limelight with the others. Co-starring lang sila habang si Marcos ay main and only feature.

But Marcos wasn’t contented to be the only dweller of the mountain, so he kicked out the Ibaloys who lived there since time immemorial.

And so the days passed. And the days turned to years. Then the century turned. Then this is what became of Marcos.

That Cull Chicken

March 4th, 2008

Who would have thought that this harmless looking chicken can be hazardous to our health.

By the way, I once thought that “cull” is a breed of chicken like the Ancona chicken or the Cornish chicken. Stupid me. It turns out that “cull” is not a breed. We just call them that because they are “culled out” from the rest of the flock as they are not that productive in laying eggs. Ito ay ayon sa aking kapatid who should know what he is talking about.

1. Did you know that he was (is?) the Department of Health’s Youth Ambassador Against Tobacco? That’s him and DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III shaking hands. Photo courtesy of the DOH website.
