🌸Tips for a Perfect Blooming Potted Bougainvillea 🌸

☀️ 1. Give it plenty of sunlight

Kailangan ng bougainvillea ng maraming araw—mga 6–8 oras na direktang sikat ng araw bawat araw.

Mas maraming araw, mas malaki ang posibilidad na mamulaklak ito nang sagana.

🪴2. Make sure the pot has good drainage

Hindi gusto ng bougainvillea na palaging basa ang mga ugat.

Tiyaking may sapat na butas ang ilalim ng paso upang mabilis na lumabas ang sobrang tubig.

💧3. Huwag itong palaging diligan

Hintaying bahagyang matuyo ang lupa bago muling diligan.

Mas mainam ang masaganang pagdidilig at pagkatapos ay hayaang bahagyang matuyo ang lupa kaysa sa kaunti ngunit madalas na pagdidilig.

🌱 4. Use well-draining soil

Iwasang gumamit ng lupang masyadong siksik at nag-iipon ng tubig.

Gumamit ng maluwag at mahusay ang drainage na halo ng lupa upang manatiling malusog ang mga ugat.

🌿 5. Huwag sobrahan ang fertilizer

Kapag sobra ang nitrogen, maaaring maging madahon ang halaman ngunit kakaunti ang bulaklak.

Gumamit ng patabang angkop para sa mga halamang namumulaklak at sundin ang tamang dami na nakasaad sa label.

Ok din ang ihi (ng tao) na may halong tubig na pandilig.

✂️6. Prune regularly

Pagkatapos ng pamumulaklak, putulan nang bahagya ang mahahabang sanga.

Nakakatulong ang pagpuputol upang magkaroon ng bagong mga sanga na maaaring pamulaklakin.

🌸7. Huwag agad ilipat sa sobrang laking pot

Mas namumulaklak nang maayos ang bougainvillea kapag bahagyang masikip ang mga ugat nito.

Kaya huwag agad ilipat sa mas malaking paso kung hindi naman kinakailangan.

🌧️8. Protect it from too much rain

Kapag madalas ang ulan, tiyaking hindi naiipon ang tubig sa paso.

Mahalaga ang maayos na drainage upang maiwasan ang pagkabulok ng mga ugat.

✨ Simpleng formula: More sun + excellent drainage + controlled watering + moderate fertilizer + regular pruning = more bougainvillea blooms. 🌸🌿

Perfect para sa backyard gardening! 🏡🌺

KAPAG PAGOD KA NA, MAY KAKAPITAN KA. 💪

Dahil may bagong railings na pababa at paakyat sa Asik-Asik Eco Park!

Ito ang pasilip sa mukha ng Asik-Asik Falls ngayon, habang puspusan ang paghahanda ng DENR, kasama ang LGU Alamada, BLGU Dado, at local community, para sa nalalapit na reopening ng isa sa pinakamagandang tourist attractions sa bansa.

Paalala naman ng Office of the Municipal Tourism, Culture and the Arts na sa muling pagbubukas ng kilalang spring falls, magkakaroon ng pre-booking system upang maiwasan ang overcrowding, lalo na kapag peak season, at mapangalagaan ang seguridad ng bawat turista.

Matatandaang noong mga nakaraang buwan, sumailalim sa Community Guiding Seminar ng Department of Tourism – Region XII ang mga personnel ng Asik-Asik Eco Park, kasama ang iba pang local tour guides. Sila rin ay naging accredited Community Guides ng DOT.

Hanggang ngayon, wala pa ring opisyal na petsa kung kailan muling bubuksan ang Asik-Asik Falls.

Ayon sa initial information, yong dahilan ng flashflood sa Nepal recently ay parang yong nangyaring landslide sa Brgy. Macabasa last 2021 kung saan humarang ang lupa sa malaking bahagi ng sapa at naipon ang tubig na parang lake sa itaas na bahagi.

Sa awa ng Dios, wala namang dilubyong nangyari sa Alamada sa panahong 'yon.

1962 Photo of Camp Paulino Santos, Dado, Alamada, Cotabato.

The photo was taken during the visit of the late President Diosdado P. Macapagal Sr. in 1962. Military personnel perform a parade drill in honor of the late President.

Camp Paulino Santos is a Philippine Army military reservation located in Barangay Dado, Alamada, Cotabato.

It is associated with the 6th Infantry (Kampilan) Division and serves as a venue for military training, operations, environmental programs, and other activities supporting peace, security, and community development.

Nowadays, the reservation is also home to the 6ID Kampilan Golf Course that was inaugurated in January 2022.

It was named after Major General Paulino T. Santos Sr., a distinguished military officer who played an important role in the country's land-settlement and development programs.

Paulino Santos was instrumental in the National Land Settlement Administration (NLSA), which facilitated organized settlement and agricultural development in parts of southern Mindanao. The city of General Santos was named in his honor.

The history of Camp Paulino Santos is also connected to the broader history of government-sponsored land settlement in Mindanao.

The Economic Development Corporation (EDCOR), established during the administration of President Ramon Magsaysay, continued the government's efforts to promote agricultural settlement and the integration of former military personnel and settlers into productive communities in Mindanao.

President Diosdado Macapagal's administration likewise pursued agricultural development and land-settlement policies in Mindanao, building upon earlier government efforts to promote rural development, agricultural productivity, and the settlement of public lands.

Thus, while General Paulino Santos and President Diosdado Macapagal belonged to different periods of the country's land-settlement history, both are part of the broader story of government efforts to develop and settle Mindanao.

📍Sitio Lama Viewpoint

From this vantage point, you can see the plains of Barangiran, Polayagan, and Kitacubong, along with the full view of Mt. Akir-Akir.

Mt. Akir-Akir forms the eastern boundary of the Municipality of Alamada, Cotabato, and is surrounded by the municipalities of Pigcawayan, Libungan, and Buldon.

The mountain has an elevation of approximately 992 meters above sea level and a prominence of 587 meters.

Much of the area surrounding the mountain is now covered by farmland.

Large trees can still be found in the very steep and rugged areas of the mountain where cultivating the soil for farming is difficult or impossible.

During the time of Datu Amaibuliok Alamada, his rule reportedly extended to the lower parts of Buldon, the northern part of Nuling—now the Municipality of Sultan Kudarat—up to Manuangan, Pigcawayan, Banisilan, and Kitacubong, which is now the seat of government of the Municipality of Alamada.

One of his cottas (fortified settlements) was located at Mt. Akir-Akir, which he named “Kalilidan,” an Iranun word meaning “to roll.”

According to Lidasan (2013), it was at this location that the Americans suffered a defeat.

When they attacked the fort, large boulders and logs were reportedly rolled down the mountain, causing casualties among the attacking forces.
