Through a biographical research design, with purposive sampling, a key female informant named as Lady L was chosen with the sole criteria of being a female Barangay Captain of Cebu City. Interview guides were utilized in the generation of Lady L’s biographic information about her political career.Lady L’s experiences in waiting for the perfect time and working in the private sector destined her to have a successful political career enhanced with passion and family influence. Encountering problems concerning basic education and unwanted migrants in Barangay K did not discourage her choice to run for re-election, because of her dedication to public service.

PDEA Director General Isidro S. Lapeña identified the suspect as Bimbo Abdulmanan Diolanen, married, an incumbent barangay chairman and resident of Purok 2, Mabini Interior, Bagua 3, Cotabato City. An operative of PDEA Regional Office-Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (PDEA RO-ARMM) under Director Edgar Apalla, acted as poseur-buyer and entered into a transaction with Diolanen to facilitate the sale of one plastic sachet of shabu. They agreed to meet in his own barangay in Mabini Interior at around 6:00 in the morning. Upon receiving the buy-bust money, the barangay captain was immediately arrested by PDEA RO-ARMM agents who were strategically positioned. Seized during the operation were 10 plastic sachets of white crystalline substance suspected to be shabu, weighing approximately 20 grams, with an estimated street value of P100,000, one cal. 45 Springfield Armory pistol containing one magazine loaded with two pieces of ammunition, one homemade shotgun loaded with four pieces of ammunition.

  • The Cultural Value of Bakuts in Kampong Ayer, Brunei Darussalam Noor Hasharina Hassan and Gabriel Y
    Southeast Asia: A Multidisciplinary Journal, Vol 19, 2019, pp 47–63 © FASS, UBD The Cultural Value of Bakuts in Kampong Ayer, Brunei Darussalam Noor Hasharina Hassan and Gabriel Y. V. Yong Universiti Brunei Darussalam Abstract Bakuts are small islands found within the Kampong Ayer settlement complex in the Sungai Brunei estuary. They are thought to serve an important function as a social-cultural space for the population that resided over water before the second half of the 20th Century. However, modernization and transition to land have eroded their cultural importance. Today, they are largely abandoned and inconspicuous to most visitors. This paper presents the findings of a study on the cultural value of bakuts in the past and its change through time. The study involved (a) conducting a survey on awareness of bakuts among local Bruneians and (b) interviews with a number of current and former residents who have knowledge of bakuts. Prior knowledge of the area and information gained from informal conversations with people knowledgeable of bakuts contributed to the understanding in the study. The survey revealed that 74% of current or former residents of Kampong Ayer could correctly describe a bakut, in contrast to only 31% of local Malays who have not lived in Kampong Ayer. There is also an apparent trend where younger respondents were less aware. The interviews shed light on the cultural value of bakuts before transition to land. The cultural activities ranged from communal events, recreation, rearing of chicken and ducks, growing edible plants, commerce, industry, and building homes. It was found that bakuts were natural depositional features that have been modified by human agency to a varying degree.
