I Am Buraot

Just another lousy “list” articles for you politically charged operators out there. We are now on our 50th.

As for you who had no idea what’s this about, these lists are reciprocal links that I love to post to give back to those who recently had linked to our site using the Entredropper page.

This has something to do with dropping entrecards to members of the community with the sole purpose of earning credits that can be used for promoting one’s site. For more information about the this FREE system, please visit this PAGE.

What can I say, the links just kept on coming. And I thank you for keeping on coming. Continue Reading…

When I came to Olongapo, I was very hopeful. I just had a daughter, her mom is a native Olongapena, and I decided to go there to start a new life.

It’s a bustling city yet with a small town feel. The night life is not as good as Manila but having been a fan of live bands, I almost immediately fell in love with it. The city is host to a few rock bands that became famous.

On a regular morning, you’ll be woken up by an easy to remember child-like music coming from a moving vehicle. At first, I thought it was some music coming from a rolling candy store, but really it was coming from the garbage trucks. Continue Reading…

Just a little break from politics and back to our boring routine of posting reciprocal links. So far, we’re still moving up on our linkage. People still kept on linking and so we will keep on going.

I haven’t had a chance to check what’s up with entrecard lately. My other site that still has an active entrecard account haven’t been updated for quite a while.

Pretty soon I will, just so I could keep my entrecard account active for purposes of checking live links at our Entredropper page.

So keep on dropping and keep on linking. And thanks for these new fellows who just did. Continue Reading…

Here they come again. I knew what I’m about to take when I decided to write personal experiences about my life in Olongapo, or at least parts of it. Heat. I’m about to take some unnecessary heat.

Of all the searches online regarding the 2010 presidentiables, presidential wannabe Richard Gordon had the most positive posts online, according to ABS-CBN reports published March 18.

They were right. In fact if you try to do a search, all you see are links to his bio and how great and wonderful the man is. Except to articles made by me here at the barrio, on my site, and by other sites who have picked up the story. Continue Reading…

When the City of Olongapo is mentioned, the first things that would come to mind are two: the entertainment bars lining its streets and the name Gordon.

While the roots of existence of the former are well-traced, the existence and the reason why the latter became a household name is not much talked about.

Who really are the Gordons? How did they come into power? And how for several decades, did a single family dominate the entire political landscape of the city? Continue Reading…

We’re going and going and going and going and going and going…. I just don’t know where to stop.

The entrecard limit for dropping is only 300. Our Entredropper list consists of 30 batches. each batch has a live link of 10 sites, which means once you click on one batch, it opens 1o sites with entrecard where you can easily drop your entrecards.

But you see, we have exceeded more than our customary 30 batches. Which also means we have more than 300 sites in our updated list. Continue Reading…

“Ganito pala sa Olongapo, parang war zone.”

 This was the surprised remark from one of the media personnel from GMA-7 who witnessed what happened that fateful day in November 1996.

All the action were going on inside the SBMA where the APEC forum was being held, so it only makes sense for all the media, local and international, to be there. Fortunately for us, some GMA-7 staff, particularly Luchi Cruz Valdez (from The Probe Team fame) and a cameraman decided to go outside the former US base searching for exclusives.

They have found what they were looking for, the exclusive footages of how we got mobbed. And they were stunned to have witnessed what happened. Continue Reading…
