Birkog ken pedestrian lane

Nagbalinen a garahe dagiti delivery truck daytoy a paset ti maysa a pedestrian lane iti ciudad ti Laoag. (Jopo Guerrero)


Iti benneg ti lokal a pulitika, arigna taltallo laeng dagiti mangmangngegan nga issue. Ania a pamilya't nabilbileg? Siasinno't nabirbirkog? Siasinno't ad-adu't aliporesna? Ala, balido dagitoy a topiko. Ngem ibuksilan koma met dagiti pulitiko no ania't maitedda a solusyon kadagiti inaldaw a sagsagabaen dagiti umili: trapik, abusado a driver, umang-angdod nga aglawlaw, panagsigarilyo iti publiko, agkaiwara a bulos nga aso, naariwawa a videoke uray kaltaangen ti rabii ken dadduma pay. Mabalin a kunaenda a sitsitik ken babassit laeng dagitoy nga issue. Wen, nalabit mapan a kasta. Ngem saantay koma a liplipatan a ti lider a saan a mapagtalkan iti bassit a banag ket saan met a mapagtalkan iti dakkel a banag.

Ay, piman a pedestrian lane iti amiananen ti maysa a dakkel a grocery iti ciudad ti Laoag! Awan serserbinan ta nagbalin metten a garahe dagiti delivery truck ti murdongna! Ngem napimpiman dagiti pada a magmagna, ta ditoy koma ti pagpwestuanda a lumasat iti kalsada. Uray koma no agpark dagitoy a dadakkel a lugan no wadaanda koma met ta pedestrian lane! Makaulaw, apo!

Amin a traysikel iti Vigan City, addaan ti natibker a pagkaptan ken pagbatayan. Iti Laoag City, manmano dagiti traysikel nga addaan kadagiti kastoy a pakanam-ayan dagiti pasahero. Isu a marigatan a dumsaag dagiti pada a botit, ket dagiti nakapalda, agkuyangyang a bumaba. Awan la't konsehalen ti Laoag a nakapanunot a mangisingasig a rumbeng nga addaan ti pagkaptan ken pagbatayan kadagiti sidecar? Sabagay, awan sa met konsehal nga agluglugan ti traysikel. Wenno, talaga nga awan panangiyalikakada kadagiti pasahero?

Lima a pagsasao para kenni pangas:

1. No ibanbandom ti nagappuanam, awan pudno a respeto a maramanam.

2. Dumakdakkel ti maselna ta bukodna a bangko kanayun a bagbagkatenna.

3. Adu’t mangayat a mangipakni kenni “feeling celebrity”.

4. Saan a dakes ti agpangas no sagpaminsan. Ngem no masansan, dakeskan.

5. Masansan, dagiti kawaw isuda't pug-aw a pug-aw.

Marcos town celebrates 3rd Pinakbet Festival

By
MARCOS, Ilocos Norte—Taking pride of this town ’s favorite Ilo cano dish, locally known as pinakbet, a mix of indigenous vegetables steamed in fish sauce, residents here ushered the opening of the third Pinakbet festival. “Pinakbet” came from the contracted Ilokano word ‘pinakebbet ’ which means “ shrunk ” or “shriveled.” As a way of thanksgiving, the Pinakbet festival is a repository of the town ’ s “ani” [harvest] festival being celebrated every month of March but this was later moved to December to accommodate more balikbayans wanting to join the festivity. Residents in this agricultural town derived most of their income from the harvest of high value crops, including rice, tobacco and corn as staple crops.
