Tagtuyo

Nakabahala ang sitwasyon na dahil sa hindi dumating ang inaasahan ulan sa mga buwan ng Hunyo at Hulyo, kumukonti ang pondo tubig sa ating mga dam at natutuyuan ang palayan sa central Luzon.

Kaya sinasabihan tayong humanda sa mga brownout na mangyayari kailangan magtipid ng tubig para kukunting kuryente ang magagamit.

Nakakabahala dahil wala tayong sapat na irigasyon para patubigan ang mga palayan sa Luzon na siyang pinanggalingan ng pinakaraming palay sa bansa. Kapag mahina ang ani, hindi lamang mga magsasaka ang maghihirap kung di buiong bayan dahil mapipilitan na namang mag-import ng bigas. Siyempre tataas ang presyo ng bigas.

Kapag tumaas ang presyo ng bigas, ang mga halos hindi makakain ng tatlong beses isang araw noon, at baka isang beses na lang ngayon.

Kapag panay naman ang brownout, maapektuhan ang ating mga trabaho. Hihina ang kita ng lahat at lalong maghihirap ang buhay.

Ang pinakamahirap talaga ang mawalan ng tubig. Sa ating mga Pilipino na mahilig maligo (kasi naman napakainit ng ating klema), malaking penitensya ang walang tubig.

Naala-ala ko ang kwento sa Bibliya tungkol kay Joseph at ng Pharaoh or hari ng Egypt.

Nanaginip ang Pharaoh na habang nakartayo siya sa tabi ng Nile river, may pitong bakang matataba na umahjon at kumain ng mga halaman sa tabi. Pagkatapos non , may lumabas rin a pitong payat na mga baka at kinain ang mga matatabang baka.

Pinatawag si Joseph para malaman kung anong ibig sabihin ng kanyang panaginip. Sinabi ni Joseph na magkaakroon ng pitong masaganang taon. Ngunit pagkatapos noon ay pitong taon na tagtuyo.

Ginawa ng Pharaoh na tagpamahala ng kanyang kaharian si Joseph. Kaya noong panahon ng kasaganaan, nagimbak sila ng pagkain. Kaya nag dumating ang tagtuyo, hindi sila nagutom.

Wala tayong mga propeta na katulad ni Joseph ngunit binigyan tayo ng Panginoon ng kaalaman sa pamamagitan ng siyensya para malaman ang pag-iba iba ng panahon. Hindi natin masabi na nakakagulat itong nangyaring hindi pagdating ng ulan sa buwan ng Hunyo at Hulyo. Sabi ng weather bureau mga Agosto pa raw darating ang ulan.

Ang nangyayari ngayong di-karaniwan na pag-iba ng lema at dahil sa pangaabuso natin ng kalikasan. Di ba sinasabi ng mga scientist na nabubutasa na raw ang ozone layer na nagpu-protekta sa atin sa init ng araw.

Isa ring rason ang sobra ng pagdami ng mga tao sa mundo. Mas marami ang pumuputol ng kahoy, mas maring palay ang kailagan itamin. Dahil sa kawalang population program, 88 milyon na ang mga Pilipino ngayon.
Sa kwento ni Joseph, napaghandaan nila ang tagtuyo. Wala yatang ganun sa Pilipinas.

    Itong krisis sa tubig at kuryente ang naging karakarakang sagot sa binigkas na SONA ni Gloria Arroyo na sinalubong ng masigabong ng kanyang ng mga kaalyado at cheering squad. Dito makikita kung ang lakas ng kanilang papalakpak ay gayundin ang kanilang sinseridad na bigyan lunas ang naka-ambang krisis ng bansa. Dito natin makikita kung talagang the president is as strong as she wants to be.

    Nakalathala sa Abante ang panukala ng TUCP na ibuhos ang pork barrel sa paglutas sa krisis ng tagtuyo at enerhiya. Dito natin makikita kung ang lakas ng palakpakan ng mga kongresista at senador na sangayon sa SONA ni Gloria Arroyo ay tutumbasan nila ng aksiyon sa pamamagitan ng pagpapasa ng madaliang batas na ang kanilang pork barrel ay ilaan sa paglutas ng krisis.

    Dito natin makikita kung sino ang gustong ipaubaya ang kanilang pork barrel at kung sino ang ayaw bitiwan ang kanilang pork barrel dahil mawawalan sila ng kikitain.

    Dito maliwanag ang paninindigan ni Sen. Trillanes. Hindi siya tatanggap ng pork barrel. May iba pang nagpahayag ng ganung paninindigan. Lumantad kayo at nang makilala.

    Ano kayang mga panukala nila Mickey at Iggy para bigyan lunas ang krisis? Teka, baka ibuhos nila ang pork barrel sa kanilang mga bulsa. Recipe to disaster ang dalawang Arroyo.

    Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel Arroyo heads the energy committee. Negros Occidental Rep.Ignacio Arroyo got the natural resources committee. The Inca civilization vanished due to prolong drought in the Pacific coastal Americas.

    Ang Kasabihan, mag-ipon para sa tagulan, ay nabaligtad sa situawasyon ngayon. Pero pa-ano makaipon ang bansa para sa Tag-init man o’ Tag-ulan kong ang pera para sa Abono nang Lupa as Tanakbo ni Bolante at ginastos sa ibang Bagay? Pa-ano makaipon ang Bansa kong ang kaunti sobra ay “dinukot” na nang sa Poder at Tinakbo na naman, karamihan sa Labas ng Bayan? At pa-ano makaipon para sa Tag-init ang karamihan na Pilipino na halos di maka-ipon para sa sarili hanggang Bukas? Itanong natin sa manga Simbahan, sa manga Lideres, Kay Presidenteng Gloria Arroyo, sa Senadores at sa lahat na opisyales.. Paano???

    Ellenville can still be shutdown, not by hackers but by a drought. For lack of rain to replenish water levels in dams, hydro generators are shutting down in Metro Manila. Ellen’s computer will be blacked out. Far from being a prophet, I hate to say this, but I warned that the SONA will bring bad tidings (26Jul 5:38am)
    The cost of preparing for a disaster that does not occur is much less than the cost of being unprepared for those that do occur. Too bad this precept does not look good on a SONA. Let us be honest and ask ourselves, what could the government have done to avert the crisis but didn’t? In my view, not much.
    Curse global warming or unabated population growth or government neglect, but the reality of extreme weather patterns will be with us henceforth. Still I cannot help pondering some questions: Why is PAGASA uncharacteristically silent concerning the drought? This is not a La Nina (excessive rains) and the WMO has not detected an El Nino in the western Pacific, as this phenomenon onsets in December as the name implies. Is PAGASA sulking because they did not get their Doppler radar units for weather forecasting? Are they unaware that the seasonal Southwest Monsoon is perhaps weak and unable to reach Luzon and induce rainfall?
    Spare the agony and misery of Ellenville from the anticipated black outs, Ellen. Get a generator and ask WordPress to do likewise.

    Good points you have there. But I think PAGASA has all their data furnished to Malacanang regarding the extreme weather patterns specially the impending drought. But Malacanang has taken over weather forecasting since that postponsed Asean Summit in Cebu City late last year. To the chagrin of some Asean Ministers, the summit was postponed due to a typhoon that never was. PAGASA denied having issued such typhoon warning because Cebu was clearly out the path of the oncoming weather disturbance and rightly so.

    Talagang nakasumpa na ang ating bansa dahil kay Demonic Gloria. Kapag hindi nasolusyonan ng gobyerno ang pinangangambahang tagtuyot ay malaki ang magiging epekto sa ekonomiya. Kung magkakaroon ng mga brown-outs ay apektado ang mga negosyong hirap na hirap na rin na maka-survive. At ang masaklap pa ay patuloy ang pagtaas ng bayarin sa kuryente na lalong nagpapahirap sa taong bayan. Alisin ang sumpa. Alisin si Gloria.

    Depletion of Ozone layer is a global problem, that poses many consequences to mankind. Human activity is by far the most prevalent and destructive source of ozone depletion, such as the release of various compounds containing chlorine or bromine, accounts for ozone damage. Perhaps the most evident and destructive molecule of this description is chloroflourocarbon (CFC) and the most harmful is the R-12 freon that used in car airconditioning.R-12 is now banned in America, CFCs were first used to clean electronic circuit boards, and as time progressed, were used in aerosols and coolants, such as refrigerators and air conditioners. When CFCs from these products are released into the atmosphere, the destruction begins. As CFCs are emitted, the molecules float toward the ozone rich stratosphere. Then, when UV radiation contacts the CFC molecule, this causes one chlorine atom to liberate. This free chlorine then reacts with an ozone molecule to form chlorine monoxide and a single oxygen molecule. The result is further destruction of the ozone layers.

    Ozone layer is essential to human life and environment, the thinning of the ozone layer would lead to more human UV-B exposure will lead to an increased risk of skin cancers. Mankind will not survive without food and the essential human intake is crops, plants use light as their main fuel for growth, a delicate balance must be achieved in order for the plant to survive. If a plant is exposed to too much UV radiation, the plant may become damaged due to penetration of harmful UV radiation into sensitive areas of the plant. UV radiation also causes problems in the photosynthetic machinery by hampering the photosynthesis process, the cell membrane by altering the transportation of essential potassium, affecting cell growth and morphology. depleting ozone layer would lead to plant damage. However, it is not that simple. Some plants actually employ a mechanism that allows them to protect themselves from UV damage. Thus, if ozone depletion became serious enough, the plants without the protective mechanisms would die out.

    Ang Pilipinas ay napapaligiran ng napakalaking bahagi ng tubig-dagat (Pacific Ocean at Indian Ocean). Hindi dapat nagiging suliranin ng mga mamamayan ang pagkawala ng tubig kung ang pamahalaan ay talaga lamang nakatutok sa infrastructure projects.

    Kung ang pinagtutuunan lamang ng pamahalaan ay ang pagtatayo ng isang malaking desalination plant na magsasala ng tubig-dagat upang maging kapaki-pakinabang sa mga mamamayan ay hindi natin daranasin ito.

    Ang Middle East na talagang walang pinagkukunan ng tubig na magagamit at maiinom ng mga mamamayan ay nagtayo ng desalination plants. Karamihan sa mga empleyado ay mga Filipino chemical engineers na silang nagpapatakbo ng mga plantang ito.

    The population growth in our country is a big problem, but, it is a good business for religious sects, the more mass attendance the more collection and that is the reason they are anti-abortion .population growth can be beneficial to Shoemart and business enterprise, more people meant more jobs and more money. It meant more houses to build for Villar and more OFW’s and dollars for Arroyo and the list goes on. But there is a limit to that growth, if it is to remain beneficial to all. As the real state of Villar grows, its population overwhelms its infrastructure and exceeds the carrying capacity of its environment. Farmland and forests are sacrificed to strip malls. Public schools and classroom no longer meet students needs, schools no longer satisfy the demands of a growing population. The classroom of Mrs.Reyes will turn to a barter place.

    Electricity demand interruption means go to bed early and a 619 to husband and wife ,darkness rises the libido and a fertility issue facing a baby boom echo. The basic question;;;; What will the addition of millions of people do to the environment and the quality of life of all Filipinos as we proceed into this new millennium kung wala silang makain? I hope it is not a baby factory of snatchers and holdappers.

    Drought is everyone’s concern It is hard to imagine the devastation a drought can cause without experiencing it first hand, but, Mother nature is an unpredictable force with the potential to wreak havoc and cause devastation in her various forms. The agricultural farming, piggery, poultry, carabao and cattle industries were badly affected, also, a car wash business. Golf course will increase their green fees. The quality and quantity of produce dropped, prices would rise to meet costs associated with production. The trickle-down effect greatly concern the consumer, the financial blow will alert the OFW’s to work more overtime and send more dollars.

    During times of extreme drought, animals have to venture further and further in search for food. Wildlife animals become violent in their desperation. Deer and packs of wild pigs have at times venture out of the bushes and into the river, desperately seeking sustenance. Patil won’t have a deer and boar meat for his 18 children’s dinner. There is a good chance that in this frenzied state the wild animals such as cobra and phytoon would physically harm somebody, and this makes them quite a serious threat to mountain people, such as the NPA and Ethnics” Aetas and Igorots”. Cattle and Carabao become malnourished, less fresh milk for pastillas, a rancher source of income will be cut and source of beef becomes threatened to Jolibee and McDo,No more free refill on drinks. Drought concern everyone and it needs everyone cooperation to conserve water and energy.

    ka emil,

    noong dumating ako dito sa saudi arabia, naisip ko rin ‘yan. dumarating sa ating bansa ang tagtuyot sa kabila ng tayo ay napapalibutan ng pinakamalawak na karagatan subalit ang ating mga pinuno ay hindi man lamang pinatuunan ng pansin ang pagtatayo ng desalination plants upang maging alternatibong pagkukunan ng tubig inumin ng mamamayan.

    gayundin ang hindi pagkontrol sa ilegal na pagtotroso na siyang sanhi ng pagkapanot (aray) ng ating mga kagubatan na nagdulot ng matinding pagbabaha at pagguho ng lupang pinagbuwisan ng napakaraming buhay at pagkasira ng mga ariarian. kasama na dito ang walang habas na pagmimina na hindi rin malaman kung saan napupunta ang nahuhukay at nakukuha.

    iisa lamang naman ang puntong nakikita natin diyan. sila ang pasimuno at nakikinabang sa mga ilegal na gawaing sumisira sa ating likas na yaman na pinagdudusahan ng karaniwang mamamayan.

    bakit ba at paano yumnaman ang mga pangunahing politiko at kasalukuyan at datihang miyembro ng gabinete ng ngayon at nagdaang mga administrasyon?

    well, drought is very alarming to humanity as water is the prime essential to life, but if i could be able to collect those tears from people who until now crying for justice (evil gloria’s justice) and convert them into rain, perhaps this would give us enough supply of water, “amen” !

    dagdag pa sa sinabi ni emil, ang desalination plant ay hindi lang nakapag bibigay ng tubig panggamit sa bahay mula sa tubig dagat (alat) kundi isa rin sa pinag kukunan ng supply ng kuryente. bakit kaya wala sa pinas ng katulad ng desalination plant? palagay ko mas mahal ipatupad ang desalination plant kesa sa mga independent power producers na binabayaran ng tao maski nde ginagamit at nde nakakapag produce ng enerhiya.

    Sinabi mo pa. “Signs of the times,” ‘ika nga. Everywhere in the world there are the signs. The kind of leaders the world has at the moment is one. Lahat, walang tulak kabigin. At least, over in Japan, we still can hear the voice of the people reverberate when the leadership is bad and we show it with our votes as in the election last Sunday.

    We have our share of natural calamities and disasters, too, but at least, the government of Japan does not go around begging other countries unlike the seemingly forever mercenary government of the Philippines, especially under the Macapa(l)gal even when they offer alms and donations, because of the Japanese belief that one cannot be above his benefactor, and that even when spat at with phlegm, he has to take things with stride.

    Nagsimula ang tagtuyo sa Pilipinas noong 2001 when Gloria Macapagal Arroyo wrest the democratically elected presidency from Joseph Estrada. Simula noon hanggang ngayon puro krisis na ang inabutan natin. Ganun daw talaga kapag may salot na nagre-reyna. Walang katapusang problema ang dulot.

  38. goji goji

    The water crisis is similar to the crisis the Senate has these days. The administration block (solidly identified with Gloria) led by Enrile is muscling their way to control all the sensitive committees. Not only are they grabbing the Blue Ribbon, even the Committee on Appointment now. From a die-hard opposition pro-Erap guy, Enrile has become today the hit man or trouble shooter of Arroyo in the Senate. Shame on this old man who has destroyed himself before he retires. If past good deeds for the people even if surrounded by doubts and controversies have now all vanished. Politically, Enrile has kicked himself in the A S S.

    May 1st 2001, EDSA TRES Uprising: Gloria Arroyo accused then two opposition senators Juan Ponce Enrile and Miriam Defensor-Santiago for instigating urban poor to attack Malacanang Palace. Juan Ponce Enrile was taken into custody hours after the rioting was quelled and charged with rebellion. Before, the two balimbings (turncoats) were rabid anti-Gloria, but, today both are licking Gloria’s ass 24/7.

    Gloria Arroyo will always be identified with election crisis 2004, fiscal crisis, oil crisis, power crisis, water crisis at iba pa. Sa loob ng 6 taong bulok at nakaw na panungkulan ito ang napala ng taumbayan.

    Enrile and Miriam are the eopitome of a political butterfly, turncoat, balimbing, etc. Their existence is a continuing saga of acrobatics in our political arena.

    I know for a fact that Enrile is Ninong to Miriam but they fought hard and nasty against each other on Miriam’s failed confirmation as Agrarian Secretary during Cory’s time. Halos magpatayan sa pagmumurhan itong dalawang ito. Then, both run against Erap in 1998. Ganun na lamang murahin ni Miriam si Erap. Then the two moved over to Erap and became Erap’s ass-lickers. Umalis si Miriam sa oposisyon dahil hindi siya ginawang VP ni FPJ. Sumabit kay Gloria. Enrile stayed with FPJ but after being elected, slowly drifted away from the opposition to become independent kuno. Then, they meet in a common ground. Both are now naman Gloria’s ass-lickers. What else is new?

    nakakapit sila sa mga dahon ng puno at pumipitik kapag may naamoy na dumarating na bibiktimahin. hindi sila mapaknit hanggang hindi namimintog sa kabundatan sa pagsipsip ng dugo ng kinakapitan hanggang sa ito ay wala nang buhay. kapag busog na ay babalik sa paglalambitin sa pinagbabantayan at muling maghihintay ng bibiktimahin.

    ganyan sila at marami sa senado, sa kotongreso at sa iba’t ibang sangay ng gobyerno. naglisaw sila’t walang hinihintay kundi ang pagbuhos ng pakikinabangan!

    Just to travel around Butuan City Mindanao outskirts the site of mountains bereft of trees brought to the area by greed of the loggers whereby the city suffers flooding and causes great distrss to peoples lives.
    It will take many years and a huge cost to correct this, another good reason to have a strong law enforcing PNP.

    mrivera, wag mo naman ikumpara sa butterflies sina ponso at tiago, dahil ang mga butterflies ay dumadapo lang sa mga magaganda at mababangong bulaklak.

    samantala sina tiago at ponso ay dumadapo sa mga mababaho at nakakalason na bulaklak !

    ak-47,

    mali ka na naman. hindi ako, kundi si xanadu ang nagkumpara sa kanila sa paruparo.

    basahin mo nga muna ang poste ko bako mo ako pagalitan. nagmumukha tuloy akong pogi sa ginagawa mo, eh.

  60. AK-47 AK-47

    mrivera, sorry siguro naduling na ako sa napakahaba mong tula ! hahaha.

    Have them arrested by the NPAs!

    ‘langh’ya talaga ‘tong perdegones na ak-47 na ‘to!

    ano’ng palagay mo sa akin, kumakain ng kulangot at libag?

    bawal sa akin ang maalat.

    I hope I could join the fun that’s going on here. Very funny and full sense of humor even if many are irrelevant to the subject being discussed. Well, we need those to comfort ourselves amidst the troubles and problems we experience these days under this evil regime.

    goji,

    Iyan ang maganda sa Ellenville, sa tindi ng nararanasang kahirapan ng pinoy ay kailangang tumawa tayo minsan-minsan. Wala niyan sa ibang blog kaya nagiging topic tayo ng usapan kahit ng mga elitista sa ibang blogs!

    Back to tagtuyo. Talagang walang plano ang gobyerno tungkol sa tagtuyo at habang ang population ay ” 85mil and counting” at walang ginagawa si Crapolita Gloria kundi mamulika at mag-accounting ng perang nakaw ng kanyang pamilya sa bayan, hindi lang tagtuyo ang mararanasan natin kundi laganap na tag-gutom, malalang malnutrisyon at…langkay-langkay na kamatayan!

    …cant get in the ellen blog. something is wrong. I would like to comment on the little simba designed for cramped quarters. The fire department always complain of the small alleyways and they cant bring in the fire trucks. Its foolish to use that simba elsewhere and maybe more foolish to use it in the squatter areas. Perhaps that will be used by the grandchildren of some people.

    On the drought, well, HK had to dam a cove and let the rain fill it up. Its now the main FW source of HK. Here, all we do is dam the egress of salt water into the Laguna de Bay. Rain and rivers eternally fill it up with freshwater for us in the metropolis and the surrounding agriculture. Flower boy could take care of the effluents from the surrounding villages. The lake is not a stop gap measure. It can be done with lasting benefits even if all the trees are cut in the country and climate changes often.

    Drought,it is not only the water,been becoming dry, how about the treasury,if only we analysized the whole context of SONA,there are some parts which indicating she needs some more budgets about pending programs and projects for the citizenry betterment.10 billions pesos,from Marcoses wealth,are just like BEDOL CASE scene,just disappeared,of no traces.Now she dragged the nations of shady deals w/ ZTE of China,$329 MILLIONS for broadbands contract.And now the BSP(Central Bank)easing on bussnesses and private citizens on buying dollars,it look like somebody wanna export our dolyares sa ibang lugar,another justifcation of dollar reserved depletions,sooner or later we can pay our foriegn loans due dollar reserved been sold to some private citizens.It is not only water or power crisis,even budget right now is on the hole.She needs another 1.75 trillions budgets for next coming fiscal year,for her extravagant spending.

    ellen,

    hindi lang tagtuyo’t walang tubig; pati nagpapatakbo ng mga institusyon natuyuan na rin ng utak. pati ba naman, watershed sa La Mesa, hinayaang magkaroon ng subdivision?

    goji,

    bawat hataw ng anumang pagkakakilitian dito ay angkop at halaw sa tema ng pinag-uusapan.

    ano gusto mo, lumuha ng pako?

    tandaan mo iho, pangit ang hitsura kapag namatay ng nakasimangot!

    Tuyung-tuyo na ang Pilipinas sa kasisipsip ng pamilya Arroyo-Pidal. Pati ulam na tuyo ay hindi na rin kayang bilhin ng mahihirap dahil sa mahal nito!

    Tuyo na rin ang luha ng mga makabayan! Natuyuan na rin ng pag-asa ang mga ordinaryong pinoy kaya hindi na sumasama sa mga rally. Ang majority sa middle class is for giving d’Cheatah her last 3 years kuno, and the rich and famous are only kumukuyakoy!

    Tigang na lupa, tigang na damdamin! Gising Pinoy!

    Mrivera, I’ve never seen a dead person smiling. Don’t worry, I shall see how you look like (if you’re smiling) when you’re dead.

  72. Mrivera Mrivera

    goji, talaga?

    ang bait mo naman.

    ang galing mo ring mang-asar!
