Hi, currently here at Balanga, any recommendations for food destinations and Tourist Spot. It would be good to try something new while I'm here. Thank you in advance.

Tignan naman ninyo itong mga ito,, sinabi na ngang bawal, ang dami pang hanash... Sabi nila, lagyan daw muna ng signage bago magbawal, ngayong may signage na, magdadrama naman. Kesyo pang mayaman lang ika ang flyover.. huwat?? anong klaseng pag iisip iyan? sa totoo lang nakakatakot dumaan jan, dahil kapag nagkaaksidente sa taas dahil biglang may nag overtake, wala ka nang makakabigan,, mahuhulog ka talaga. marami pa naman reckless driver sa bataan... Itong mga tricycle na ito, sa totoo nga lang bawal talaga kayo dapat sa national highway, napagbibigyan nga lang ata kasi botante 🤦🏼

At this age and time, it’s really weird na requirement pa rin yung voter’s ID ng parents for scholarship application dito.

Like helloo?? Kailangan ba talagang botante yung parents bago maging iskolar ng bayan? (Take note: kaylangan ng ID ng PAREHONG MAGULANG)

Isn’t certificate of residency enough?

Kung ang goal naman is patunayan na residente ka ng Bataan, bakit kailangan pa i-base sa voter’s ID ng magulang? Hindi naman lahat ng qualified students ay may magulang na registered voter, pero hindi ibig sabihin nun na less deserving na sila sa scholarship.

Scholarship should be based on residency, academic merit, and financial need, not on whether your parents are active voters. Yung ganitong requirement feels outdated and unnecessarily restrictive. It ends up excluding students who genuinely need assistance, dahil lang sa dokumentong wala namang direktang kinalaman sa pagiging karapat-dapat nilang maging scholar.

Hindi kasi malinaw yung kuha umaandar kasi, hindi mabasa ang order at series number.

JUSTICE FOR ALL THE IMPOUNDED ANIMALS WHO STARVED TO DEATH.

Today marks the beginning of the arraignment proceedings against municipal authorities following the discovery of multiple impounded animals left dead and decomposing inside the Municipality’s designated impounding facility.

The disturbing condition of the facility sparked outrage among animal welfare advocates and concerned citizens after reports revealed that the animals had allegedly been neglected while under the custody and responsibility of the local government.

Impounded animals are meant to be protected and properly cared for while awaiting redemption, transfer, or further legal procedures — not abandoned to suffer and die behind closed doors.

As the case moves forward in court, many are hoping that this will become a turning point for accountability and stricter enforcement of animal welfare laws in the Philippines.

Justice must not only be sought for the animals who suffered, but also to ensure that such neglect inside government-managed facilities never happens again.

ARREST WARRANT ISSUED | MARCH 2026

By the 3rd Municipal Circuit Trial Court against the Municipal Agriculturist of Orion, Bataan, following the establishment of prima facie evidence.

The case stems from the deaths of multiple impounded animals inside the municipal dog pound—lives that were meant to be protected, but were instead neglected.

And here’s what you need to know:

August 30, 2025

We received a report about multiple dead impounded animals inside what was supposed to be the municipal dog pound of Orion, Bataan.

Upon receiving the tip, we immediately went to the area alongside officials from Brgy. Sto. Domingo.

Even before entering the Orion slaughterhouse compound, a foul odor already filled the air.

At first, the cages were not immediately visible. They were so neglected that wild plants had already grown over them—slowly reclaiming what had been abandoned.

But inside those cages, we found them.

Not one. Not two.

But multiple lifeless bodies.

Five impounded animals, reduced to carcasses.

One was still alive.

We rushed it to the veterinary clinic, hoping it could still be saved—but it eventually succumbed to severe malnutrition. Its body had already endured too much.

These animals did not die from disease.

They died from starvation.

No food.

No water.

No care.

This conclusion was undeniable—the overgrown cages, the absence of any system, and the complete lack of monitoring told the full story.

Within the same vicinity stood multiple government buildings and offices.

These animals were captured from different barrios and barangays—impounded and placed inside these cages.

And then… forgotten.

No records.

No system.

No accountability.

Some managed to escape—and were later seen wandering within the compound, left to fend for themselves.

September 1, 2025

We filed a formal case.

And now—

an arrest warrant has been issued.

🧡 Justice was only the beginning.

We will continue to fight for every animal who suffered in silence—and for those still at risk of being forgotten.

But we cannot do this alone.
