...Over 40,000 acres burned, and I believe over 50 homes in Big Sur destroyed - mostly in the Palo Colorado area. Toro Regional Park (a mile from our house on the other side of Hwy. 68) is the main staging/housing area for what has grown to over a 4,000, maybe close to 5,000 persons now, fire fighting force. Poor fighters are being afflicted with poison oak these past few days - that puts them out of commission real fast. If you're allergic and inhaling lots of poison oak oil fumes into your lungs - that actually can be quite dangerous. These are a brave bunch of fighters out there. Extensive back fires have been constructed over the past couple of days to prevent the fire from reaching eastward to Cachuaga/Tassajara Hot Springs and also Carmel Valley Village to the...

...Related Studies Rolando Tolentino (2012), The Virgin of Peñafrancia and South Border claimed that Translacion is a spectacle where in people from the Bicol region led by the church and the government and encouraged further by the media participate with the goal of the formation of a regional unity. In this activity, the image of the Blessed Virgin is carried on their shoulders by a congregation of sunburned and barefooted males known as voyadores from the Basilica to the Naga Cathedral. It is being practiced that those who shall carry the Virgin wear a different color than the other devotees joining the procession. It is also a belief that a woman should not go near the pagoda (where the Virgin stays as it is being carried). In other words, women are not allowed to participate in carrying the image. Also, there is such a belief by the Bicolanos that the presence of a woman near the pagoda indicates a disaster or an accident. The color coding process during the procession is but a screaming evidence of social divisions. Those who are carrying the Virgin on their shoulders wear a different color from the others to show that they are the lucky ones entitled to the privilege of holding the sacred image which many other devotees do not have the benefit to even touch. It also exhibits the idea of a patriarchal society where males dominate the crowd. Moreover, zooming in our gaze to the pagoda only, we already see a clear division. Though males were those privileged to touch and carry...

... the Pacific Ocean I the east, Lamon Bay in the north, and Sibugan Sea and Quezon province in the west. HISTORY The Bicol region was known as Ibalon, variously interpreted to derive form ibalio, "to bring to the other side"; ibalon, "people from the other side" or "people who are hospitable and give visitors gifts to bring home"; or as a corruption of Gibal-ong, a sitio of Magallanes, Sorsogon where the Spaniards first landed in 1567. The Bico River was first mentioned in Spanish Documents in 1572. The region was also called "Los Camarines" after the huts found by the Spaniards in Camalig, Albay. No prehistoric animal fossils have been discovered in Bicol and the peopling of the region remains obscure. The Aeta from Camarines Sur to Sorsogon strongly suggest that aborigines lived there long ago, but earliest evidence is of middle to late Neolithic life. A barangay (village) system was in existence by 1569. Records show no sign of Islamic rule nor any authority surpassing the datu (chieftain). Precolonial leadership was based on strength, courage, and intelligence. The native seemed apolitical. Thus the datu's influence mattered most during crises like wars. Otherwise, early Bicol society remained family centered, and the leader was the head of the family. The Bicol were described by some Spanish chroniclers as fierce warriors. Thus their history comprises many battles against foreign...

It is as much an essential part of his growth no less than the vistas of new knowledge he meets inside the classroom. Here, against the backdrop of a transition home- away- from- home, he encounters new human relationships, cultivates new friends and acquaintances, learns life’s many a struggle and sacrifice. His passage as a form dweller, in time, either makes him the better for it or none better. Past and present observations of student boarders in the city of Naga indicate that a significant majority come from distant towns of Camarines Sur and from even other provinces outside the Bicol region. Most of them seek board and lodging in which they pay a monthly rate, although quite a number pay for room or for bed space only without provisions for meals. City boarding-houses, not surprisingly, are located near school campuses. Thus, student- boarders often choose boarding places closer to their schools. The reason is economic; school short distance from boarding houses save time and transportation fare. Any savings are thus added values to student boarders who cannot afford the higher cost of the few, often elitist, student dormitories in the city. There is paucity of information concerning conditions of boarding houses in this city, particularly private homes catering to...

...Bicolano The Bicolano language is the dialect of the people of Region six. The region’s six provinces have varying numbers of municipalities, cities and towns. Camarines Sur has the most numerous towns and barrios. There are three cities namely, Naga and Iriga (in Camarines Sur) and Legaspi (in Albay). Airplanes, trains and buses make transportation in the region easy. Albay’s strategic location makes it a gateway for the neighboring regions of Samar-Leyte and the Tagalog provinces. Naga City serves as the center of communication with several commercial radio receivers and government-owned and operated radio networks. The original settlers of Bicol were said to be hybridized by the Tagalog (who migrated to Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur) and the Visayans (who moved to Masbate and Sorsogon). These migrations plus the isolation of certain areas led to the formation of diverse dialects. The Bicol language is basically Malayo-Polynesian with adaptations of some Arabic, Indian, Chinese, and Spanish words. An agglutinative language, it has a simple structure and an inflection that retains the meaning of the word. The isolated people of Libon speak another dialect which combines the dialects in the Rinconada district of Camarines Sur, from Bato to Baao. Another dialect is spoken in southern Catanduanes. Some parts of Masbate and Sorsogon fall linguistically between Bicol and Cebuano. Tagalog with a distinct Bicol accent is spoken in Camarines Norte. The words listed below are...
