I always feel hesitant to post videos like this. But I have learned that we cannot control what people say or think about us, but what we can control is what we do. And I choose to share this inspiring experience I have had yesterday.

A few weeks, ago, I was at Pugon Bakeshop eating my favourite Super Lugaw, as you already know how much of a fan I am. And then, I remembered a campaign on TikTok which was #LugawIsEssential. I asked the owner (he is very private so I am not gonna name him) if they have had a feeding program. At this point, I already know what they do for the community. He replied that they actually have a feeding program where some business owners in Boracay come together to feed the locals.

I got excited to have known this because I have been wanting to film moments like this- not influenced by other people, but just me doing it because I love doing it. And so I asked them to invite me next time so I could capture it. They agreed.

I honestly had no idea how fascinating it was until I experience it. Yesterday, I came along with the guys, we got lost, but we arrived with so many kids waiting for us with their bowls and glasses. The entire time, I was hiding my emotion. I get so emotional when I see things like this on social media and the impact of seeing and experiencing it in person is quite bizarre- in a great way.

We were accompanied by Malay Municipal Police Station, a few people who organised the BARANGAYanihan crowd (yes, there's indeed a program like that), and the people from Boracay Community Sharing Group. Surprisingly, I did not know I was with the people from the Community Sharing Group.
Okay, I just realise I am writing too much, so I am going to make my point of this post now.

You see, I have met a lot of people in my life. I have met people who complained about our community all the time and do nothing even they have the influence, power and connections to do so. And we have people who do not talk about the problems in our community, they see it, and instantly do something about it in hiding. Not all heroes wear capes, they said. And it is true.

I have seen the struggles on this beautiful island, and I am blessed and grateful to have been a part of this activity. It restores my belief in humanity- that somehow, even with the lockdowns happening, people doing their best to get by, there are a few good people who hide in the dark and are helping people silently.

And thank you.

To the policemen of Malay Municipal Police Station,
to the people from the Boracay Community Sharing group, and to Pugon Bakeshop/Bar & Cafè and Salaver Clinic - Boracay, thank you for allowing me to experience this inspiring moment. I hope and pray that people from other municipalities and cities would see this video and be inspired by what you do. Please, please, please, I ask you, to continue being the gold standard. Thank you for allowing me to capture it without giving you a heads up.

And for my final note, we do not need to wait for our government to help. We can help one another. If we have a little bit of something to share with our neighbours, it is already a great start. All we need is compassion and little kindness especially during these lockdowns.

【地方首長有權否決能源建設嗎】
#至少法國認為有 #台灣的民主總是特別
法國的新聞 – 法國的參議院決議，賦予地方首長「否決風電開發案」的權利

此提案宗旨在於敦促風力發電開發過程應該與地方有效溝通，確保開發案社會接受度以及和諧發展。同意的參議員表示：「這是強化民主的展現，我們不能談到核電的時候就強調要溝通，而在開發風電時就反對溝通。」

新函館北斗駅（しんはこだてほくとえき）
JR北海道　函館本線
1902年（明治35年）12月10日に北海道鉄道の函館駅（初代・後の亀田駅） - 当駅間の開通に伴い、同線の本郷駅（ほんごうえき）として開業。
1907年（明治40年）7月1日に北海道鉄道が国有化され、帝国鉄道庁の管轄となる。
1942年（昭和17年）4月1日に渡島大野駅に改称。
1949年（昭和24年）6月1日に日本国有鉄道法施行に伴い、公共企業体日本国有鉄道（国鉄）に移管。
1986年（昭和61年）11月1日に簡易委託駅となり、無人化。
1987年（昭和62年）4月1日に国鉄分割民営化に伴い、北海道旅客鉄道（JR北海道）に承継。
2006年（平成18年）2月1日に市町村合併に伴い、所在地が北斗市となる。
2015年（平成27年）3月29日に旧駅舎から新駅舎（後に「新函館北斗駅」の駅舎となる）に移転。この段階では渡島大野駅が単に移転したという扱いになる。新在来線ホームのうち、第1ホームと第2ホームが使用を開始する。
同年7月31日に「新函館北斗開業準備駅」（7名配置）を設置。ただし、別組織扱いのため、営業形態は従来通り無人駅のままである。
同年9月3日に新駅舎が完成。
2016年（平成28年）3月26日に北海道新幹線 新青森駅 - 当駅間開業に伴い、新函館北斗駅（しんはこだてほくとえき）に改称。函館本線の五稜郭駅 - 当駅間が電化（交流20,000V・50Hz）。特急「北斗」・「スーパー北斗」の停車駅となるほか、函館駅までのアクセス列車「はこだてライナー」も運行が開始される。
