ALAM MO BA KUNG ANO ITO?

For those who didn’t know, kilometer markers are the upright cement poles (usually yellow) at the side of the road that have numbers and letters written on them. We often see them in the provinces, specifically on national roads
—also known as the Pan Philippine Highway that stretches across the Philippines.

KM (sometimes just K) stands for kilometer, while the number below is your current driving distance from the Kilometer Zero—or simply KM 0—located across Luneta in Manila. Basically, this will tell you how far you are from the nation’s capital. In our example, we’re 36 kilometers away from Luneta.
Below it is the initial of the next town or city, while the number tells you how far you are from it. In this case, ‘P’ stands for Plaridel, which is 6 kilometers away.

Moreover, if the kilometer marker is on the right side of the road, that means you’re driving away from Manila. If it’s on the left, then you’re heading towards the capital.
This system works across the Philippines and you can thank the Pan Philippine Highway for that. This long stretch of road allows you to drive all the way from Pagudpud in Ilocos Norte down to the bottom tip of Mindanao. Before it has been completed, there were separate kilometer zeros for each major islands in the country (e.g. Marawi City in Mindanao).

So, next time your GPS device runs out of batteries and you’re lost, don’t fret. Kilometer markers may look primitive and out-of-date but when the time comes, they can be pretty useful.

⛰️ BARANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLANNING: Promoting Heritage through Future Planning for Barangay Taocanga

A barangay development plan, also known as BDP, is a three-year comprehensive multi-sectoral development plan that is created via an inclusive and participatory process under the direction of the sanggunian and development council. It is a barangay official document that lists policy alternatives, initiatives, projects, and activities meant to support the overall accomplishment of the development goals and objectives of the barangay.

Every barangay has a profile that provides information about both its past and present. A barangay profile provides information about local problems and concerns that is used to inform the creation of a BDP. In order for their voters to understand that their government is working for them, a plan with a budget is consequently the very means by which we bring services down to the local level.

According to Section 106 of the LG Code of 1991, each local government unit (LGU) must have a comprehensive, multi-sectoral development plan that is led by the development council and duly approved by the legislature. Its primary goal is to safeguard the interests of the general public and all parties involved in the planning process.

A meeting to formulate a barangay development plan was held at Manay's Barangay Taocanga on May 4, 2024. This area is significant to culture because it is home to a significant number of natural and man-made landmarks, such as the second-smallest Rafflesia species in the world, Rafflesia verrucoa (italized), the second-largest birds of prey in the world, the Philippine Eagle, and Diomaboc Lake, one of the cleanest and greenest inland bodies of water 2005 Regional Awardee and National Finalist. For the benefit of future generations, these natural heritages are being protected and safeguarded. The barangay is able to design important programs, projects, and activities that are in line with the protection of cultural heritages because to this capacity. This is a collaborative activity conducted by BLGU Taocanga and the LGU Manay through the Municipal Planning qnd Development Coordinator.

Indeed, WOW MANAY!

MAY IS NHM!

The month of May is National Heritage Month (NHM). NHM was instituted by Presidential Proclamation No. 439, actively aims to foster consciousness, respect, and love for the nation's culture and history among Filipinos.

It’s a vibrant celebration that transcends museums and history books. It's a time for Filipinos, both young and old, scattered across the archipelago and the globe, to reconnect with their roots, celebrate their shared identity, and collectively build a stronger nation.

With the theme “Championing Heritage: Capacity Building to Transform Communities,” the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) intends to make capacity-building programs and tools such as cultural mapping available to all Filipinos. The activity strives to recognize, conserve, and preserve our ancestors' historical heritage and identity for future generations.

Cultural mapping often involves identifying and documenting tangible and intangible cultural assets, such as historical sites, traditional practices, art forms, languages, and stories. This information can be used to understand the cultural heritage of a place and inform decision-making about its preservation and development.

MANAY of Davao Oriental is known for its vibrant culture and natural heritages that are continuously being preserved and conserved by the Mandaya people of Manay living in harmony with the migrants. It is home for the MANAYAN FESTIVAL, a twin celebration of the ARAW NG MANAY AND THE PAROCHIQL FIESTA OF ST. FRANCIS XAVIER. It is also the home of the second smallest Rafflesia specie in the world, Rafflesia verrucoa (italized), the second largest birds of prey in the world the Phillipine Eagle, and one of the Cleanest and Greenest Inland Bodies of Water, the Diomaboc Lake. These natural heritages are being preserved and conserved for the future generations. In fact, the National Heritage Celebration of Manay last 2023 paved way to strengthening the collaboration between the Indigenous Political Structure (IPS) of the CADT in Manay and vouch to work all together in harmony for the culture and heritage of Manay.

For this years' celebration, Manay went national as one of our Manayan beauty queen represented the municipality in the National pageant Miss Philippines Earth with their theme: Heritage. Handful of activities will also be collaborated with various stakeholders among these is the Cultural Mapping of the culinaries of Manay featuring the UNAW and the BANANA CHIPS, and the Natural Heritage and Assessment of the KAMUAGING CAVE by the Manay Tourism, Culture and the Arts Unit in which at the end of the month will be legislated through an Executive Order and Sangguniang Bayan resolution for recognizing these areas and culinaries as important cultural properties of Manay.

As this years' theme, there will be also capacity building to be held on various areas especially those Cave guides of Biailan Cave by our environment department both municipal, provincial, and national together with an academe, and for the tourism sector, a capacity building will also be held by the Department of Tourism especially for thoae that were affected by the climatic conditions last December 2023, January 2024, and February 2024.

Indeed, WOW MANAY! How about you? What culture of your locality is known for?

🪨 CAPACITATING BIAILAN CAVE GUIDES

The team from the CENRO Manay, PENRO Davao Oriental, and USEP Geology in collaboration with the LGU Manay thru Manay Tourism, MENRO, and MDRRMC has conducted Basic Cave Guiding Training last May 7, 2024 at Barangay Lambog Gym.

This training is significant in the celebration of 2024 Heritage Month as Biailan Cave was previously being identified as one of the Natural Cultural sites of the Municipality of Manay and have submitted in the Philippine Registry of Cultural Properties of the Philippines. Capacitating our local communities in order the cave to be preserved and protected at the same time can be utilized for income generating activity. The training also highlights the inclusion of the women for the protection and conservation of wildlife through RA 9147 and the NIPAs Law.

With this collaborative activity can help protect and preserve our Natural Heritages.
