    City Councilor Killed

    Saturday, June 27th, 2009

    For those who still don’t know yet, San Pablo City Councilor Danny Yang was killed in an ambush at Barangay Bautista, San Pablo City.

    A city councilor, his bodyguard, and a former village captain were killed while two others were wounded in an ambush by at least six gunmen on Wednesday, police said yesterday.

    One of the assailants was also killed when the bodyguard returned fire before he died.

    Police identified the dead as Danilo Yang, councilor and noted anti-illegal drug advocate; his bodyguard Brando de los Santos; and Romulo Barcenas, former captain of Barangay (village) Santiago 2. – Inquirer.Net

    Was the killing politically motivated? With the upcoming 2010 National and Local Elections, we can only assume that it was. National and Local Elections in our City are generally peaceful and I hope that this does not start a trend of violence as we get nearer to 2010.

    Street Dancing Postponed?

    Saturday, January 12th, 2008

    Update: The Street Dancing Competiton will be on January 15, 2008 as announced in a local news channel. The Float Parade will continue today!

    WHAT! My wife returned home today from the market and she told me that the Street Dancing Competition and Float Parade that is scheduled today was postponed. I know this is second hand information but it’s the only information that I currently have on the schedule. According to her, she got the news from the people she happened to talked to at the market. The postponement was due to the heavy rain that went on all night. In fact, it was so heavy that it almost flooded my computer room. I was lucky to get enough rags to dry the place.

    She wasn’t able to get a more concrete schedule on when it will be held but I’ll be monitoring the local news channel and hope I get some updates. I will update this post once I have more info!

    Happy Fiesta!
