  • Cities #Withrefugees Statement

    Cities #Withrefugees Statement

    Please consider signing the Cities #WithRefugees solidarity statement. Launched in advance of World Refugee Day (June 20) in 2018, the Cities #WithRefugees initiative has brought together more than 125 cities in 41 countries in a call for more local authorities and municipalities to join them in welcoming and including refugees in their communities. Cities can continue to sign onto the document here to send a strong message of global grass roots solidarity for families forced to flee. Cities #WithRefugees Statement We, mayors and local authorities from around the world, stand #WithRefugees. The role of towns, cities, counties and provinces in creating inclusive communities and promoting hope has never been as important. Today, over 25 million people worldwide are living outside their countries to escape violence and persecution. Refugees leave nearly everything behind to seek safety: their homes, their jobs, and sometimes even their families. Despite the unimaginable sacrifices refugees make to find safety, many keep their hopes and dreams for the future. Refugees’ will to survive and their drive to help their families and communities prosper are not easily extinguished by adversity. When refugees arrive to a new country, nearly two out of three settle in an urban area. As cities, we are undeniably at the forefront of refugee crises, and our communities benefit from their tenacity and courage. Welcoming refugees creates opportunities for economic, civic and social growth. The diversity of experiences and ideas refugees bring spurs creativity and innovation. For example, both Albert Einstein and Sergey Brin were refugees. Their contributions did not just change our communities; they changed the course of human history.
  • Bulacan's Old Brick Train Stations: Reminders of a Century Past

    Bulacan's Old Brick Train Stations: Reminders of a Century Past

    Bulacan's Old Brick Train Stations: Reminders of A Century Past Before the advent of all light rail transits in the metro (MRT 3, LRT1, LRT2, MRT 7), there was the Ferrocaril de Manila-Dagupan first, a heavy railway that runs from Tutuban in Manila all the way to Dagupan, Pangasinan. This railway was opened during the latter part of the Spanish Occupation in November 1892, just when the revolution against the Spanish authority is about to break out. Ferrocarril de Manila-Dagupan, Bulacan Section. The province of Bulacan, as well as its citizen benefited much from this railway because the transportation became easier for them, and traveling to Manila or up north until Dagupan, became much more comfortable. The movement of products from the province to other neighboring provinces, towns, and cities also became much more fluid. Seven stations were built in Bulacan, starting from Meycauayan, then Marilao, Bocaue, Bigaa (Balagtas), Guiguinto, Malolos Y Barasoain, and finally Calumpit. For so many decades, these railway and train stations became part of Bulakenyo's life and consciousness. Everyday, the trains would pass by and people from the towns where stations can be found hustle around riding or alighting from the train. Some of them are busy offering their goods to the passengers around the stations while some are just loitering around to watch the trains and people come and go. Now, after more than a hundred year, only the brick train stations of the railways remains. In Bulacan, there are still 5 remaining stations of which one (1) is totally in ruins while 4 are still mightily standing (whole, or in part).
