The wrath of Typhoon Ineng plowing into the Province of Abra causing swelling of the mighty Abra River. Police and Rescue officers (we salute you sir) keenly inspecting the onslaught along the Calaba Bridge ready to help if needed. These photos were sent to us without giving us the source. Please do let us know if these are your photos and will credit you for them.
We are all familiar with the super typhoon Ineng that wrecked havoc in Abra last week. As a result, the provincial government declared a State of Calamity.
According to the news, Abra Governor Eustaquio Bersamin said that 23,296 families or 88,392 persons from the 264 barangays of Abra were affected and are still the subject of relief efforts.
The P667-million damage absorbed by the province is broken down to damage to infrastructure at P445.755 million; crop damage at P181.575 million; the fisheries sector, P1.6 million; livestock, P10.54 million; and agricultural lands, P24.4 million.
What does it mean when we are in a State of Calamity? According to the Philippine Government Official Gazette :
A. Price Control for Basic Necessities and Prime Commodities
RA 7581, Section 6(1): “Price freeze for basic necessities is implemented for 60 days unless lifted… Prices of basic necessities in areas under a state of calamity shall automatically be frozen at their prevailing prices or placed under automatic price control whenever.”
RA 10121 Section 17(a): “Imposition of price ceiling on basic necessities and prime commodities by the President upon the recommendation of the implementing agency as provided for under Republic Act No. 7581, otherwise known as the ‘Price Act,’ or the National Price Coordinating Council.”

B. Granting of No-Interest Loans
RA 10121 Section 17(d): “Granting of no-interest loans by government financing or lending institutions to the most affected section of the population through their cooperatives or people’s organizations.”
C. Appropriation for Calamity Funds
RA 10121 Section 17(c): “Programming/reprogramming of funds for the repair and safety upgrading of public infrastructures and facilities.”
RA 7160: “Automatic appropriation is available for unforeseen expenditures arising from the occurrence of calamities in areas declared to be in a state of calamity.”
RA 7160: “Local government units may enact a supplemental budget for supplies and materials or payment of services to prevent danger to or loss of life or property.”
Section 321: “A supplemental budget may also be enacted in times of public calamity by way of budgetary realignment to set aside appropriations for the purchase of supplies and materials or the payment of services which are exceptionally urgent or absolutely indispensable to prevent imminent danger to, or loss of, life or property, in the jurisdiction of the local government unit or in other areas declared by the President in a state of calamity.”
Section 324(d): “Five percent (5%) of the estimated revenue from regular sources shall be set aside as an annual lump sum appropriation for unforeseen expenditures arising from the occurrence of calamities: Provided, however, that such appropriation shall be used only in the area, or a portion thereof, of the local government unit or other areas declared by the President in a state of calamity.”
D. Importations and foreign donations
RA 10121 Section 18 (a): “The importation and donation of food, clothing, medicine and equipment for relief and recovery and other disaster management and recovery-related supplies is hereby authorized in accordance with Section 105 of the Tariff and Customs Code of the Philippines, as amended, and the prevailing provisions of the General Appropriations Act covering national internal revenue taxes and import duties of national and local government agencies”
RA 10121 Section 18 (b): “Importations and donations under this section shall be considered as importation by and/or donation to the NDRRMC, subject to the approval of the Office of the President.”
E. Others
Authorization for the importation of rice under Section 6 of RA 8178, the Agricultural Tariffication Act;

Let’s just hope that all these fund are appropriated properly and reach those folks who are in need the most and not just Declare a State of Calamity just for the heck of it.
To hell with those who used calamities to enrich themselves. Aa usual henchmen of joliglig are happy for the tongpats they will receive
YEAR AFTER YEAR ABRA CALAMITY FUND IS BEING POKETED AS EVERYONE KNOWS BY JUST OBSERVING KOLIGLIG prepared ness before the storm season and during the height of the storm he is not moving around and doing anything i ask POPOY WHAT KOLIGLIG WAS DOING HE SAID HE IS SLEEPING WHAT A NICE LIFE HA..I DONT UNDERDTAND WHY THIS KIND OF PEOPLE WHO ARE LEADERS ARE LAZY ASSES ..year 2016 why we should vote with this kind and never help us during the storm season comes
The governor was in Sn Isidro at the height of the typhoon. He led a group of technical people in reopening the impassable road due to land slides along the Pidigan-Pilar Road.Nagistayan kanu pay nadisgrasya ni Gov gapu ti angep na nga tumulong.
So be it so that chary b will take care the capitol
Tama, karamihan sa mga lumalabas na balita sa Abra na hindi maganda ang kasinungalingan! Nandiyan si Boss Takit na pilit na nagsasakrificio sa likod ng panganib. Ang magandang balita, ang pangkat ng nakakabatang mga pinuno ng mga bayan ay ginaganyak ng beteranong politico na itigil na ang suporta sa dalawang familyang mamatay tao at tudo suporta kay Boss na tunay na makatao.
Sacrificio tawag nyo sa trabaho nya kung ayaw nya mgsacrificio hw shld resign so that chaei b will assume
Apay apo, nga nagadu ti nasalanta nga Ili ken barangay ditoy Abra, Dila mabalin apo nga ibagayo koma met no ania nga Ili ken barangay ti naperdi wenno nadidigra babaen ti bagyo nga Ineng,Sigun ti damag ken apo Bersamin ket 264 nga barangay ti nadidigra ket kayat mi koma met nga maamuan no sadino daguitoy nga lugar Apo, Aglalo ket indiclara metten nga State of Calamity.

He should have utilized the calamity fund in disaster prepare6dness like the gov salceda is doing in his province thats why disaster comes his province is the least affected bec most of them are prepared gusto ni koliglig gamitin sa infra to rehabilate roads n others kc tongpats nasa isip.
sangguniang panlalawigan ti agideklara ti state of calimity haan nga ti gobernador. nagmimiting amin nga lideres ti ahensya kada mamayores sakbay ti deklarasyon..
WHEN DISASTER STRIKES TO OUR PROVINCE ALL OUR ABRA POLITICIAN ARE OMEL TOLPAK AWAN MAKITA NA BUT WHEN MONEY AND RELIEF DONATION ARE POURING ALL THEIR SENSES ARE WIDELY OPEN AND HAVE THE FACE THAT IT IS COMING FROM THEM AND THEY CALL THEMSELVES SMART ONES HAHAHA WHAT AN ASS HOLES
he asked for it frm the SP in return they have their share frm the calamity fund.
Damagen mi man apo no nangi gastuan yo ta CALAMITY FUND MI A TAGA ABRA
Damagen mi man apo no nangi gastuan yo ta CALAMITY FUND MI A TAGA ABRA
Just received info n pictures of recently cemented roads connecting Tubo to Bangued. A friend in KALAHI program who sent said that tubo to Banguedi is now fully cemented thru the leadership of gov. Takit. Calamity aid from the provincial govrnt. n hopefully from our Cong. will be delivered faster.
Lets wait the coa reports if that road has its own pandora box.
Tagamasid which do u prefer disaster prepared or disaster rehabilitation. If politicians are frofit oriented they wait disaster to strike so that infra n others will be rehabilatated. Yan tatak koliglig
KALAHI is a DSWD program and it has nothing to do with politicians of implementing their project. It is a program geared towards community development in the design and implementation of poverty reduction projects and improve in participation in local governance. Ania m,an ti patpatangem mon TAGAMASID. Umay ka ditoy Abra tapno ammom ti salsalawasawem wen.
THE SOLUTION OF POLUTED SATANIC MINDS IS DILUTION OF GODS LOVE AND PRAYER
BLESSED ARE WE WHO BELIEVED IN GODS

Naawa ako sa inyo dito sa Abra, inggit, mangutya, at laging takot ang karamihan. Si Boss lang na tahimik na tao ang nakikitang may kamali. Yong mga demonio na mamatay ng tao at kayo malinis ba kayo? May nagawa na ba kayo sa ikabubuti ng Abra? Bakit di niyo subokan komandidato? Sa uri ng pananalita ninyo, baka di pa kayo manalo na barangay kagawat.
Gising na….puro daldal, mga bakla!
Kapitan demonyo nga sila but koligliflg did nothing to stop evil to triumph bec. He let them did evil things for him to be saint in the eyes of abrenians and to cover up the rampant corruption in the province.
HUWAG MO KAMING KAWAWA- IN KAPITAN EPECTO IYAN NANG MALING PANGONGO RAKOT NG KAWANI NG GOBYERNO NI KOLIGLIG SA KABAN NANG BAYAN..SABI NGA NI pilosopong TAGAMASID SILENT WATER RUNS DEEP HAHAHA MGA MAGNANAKAW kamo HAHAHA

CASE IN PROGRESS AND WAS FILED IN THE OMBUDSMAN OFFICE MANILA IT IS MOST LIKELY THE SUBPUENA BE OUT SOON
Abra will never be a progressive province since few are looking for good honest governance
ABRENIAN society is made up OF LIARS AND THIEVES THAT Ruin our day to day lifestyle
Perfectly stated FREE ABRA. Kaya dapat magbago at magtulongan kayo dito sa Abra. Suport Koliglig. Kung may ninakaw man halimbawa si Boss koliglig, tulad natin na tao lamang ika nga, ka dami naman projects atntinutulongan. Puntahan ang ofisina ni atty Siagan sa tabing silangan ng kapitolyo at makikita diyan ang sampol ng projects na nagawa.
Anong sample? Sub-standard kamo KOPITAN. Lang hiya ka. Pasample sample ka pa.
Poverty is not the excuse why we dont be us progressive as other provinces we have the same root of corupt familes that govern our province through out this years we never change to progres till we will vote a new sets of generatuon that could defeat coruption
…THE BEST OFFICIALS THAT GOVERN OUR PROVINCE WAS THE REIGN OF CHITO AND KABALYO SO FAR THEY HAVE THE MOST PROJECTS THAT MOST POLITICIAN AS OF TODAY ENJOY and benefited from it..THERE ARE THREE NOTABLE THAT THEY DO AND UNFINISH PROJECTS THAT SUPPOSEDLY DONE BY THEM BEFORE BUT DUE TO UNCONTROLled CIRCUMTANCES THAT WE CANNOT HOLD CHITO WAS NOT LUCKY AND THE DOwNFALL FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE FALLS
These are the three most important legacy projects that they did and started
1)the cemented construction from narvacan junction to Bangued
2)They started the calaba-la paz bridge
3)The proposed plan of Chitos GEOTHERMAL PLANT AND MINI HYDRO
Aimed to have our own electricity and supplies neighboring provinces…..if chito is still alive this is done by now
Yes indeed that most of road constructions throughout Abra are made during this era especially the town of Bangued the only so far annex to this projects was the New provincial hospital under rated nga lang 😥😥😀in BANGUED BIG TALL BUILDINGS ARE GROWING LIKE A MUSHROOMS BUT MOST OF THEM ARE NOTED TO BE OWNED BY CORRUPT OFFICIALS TALO PA NILA ANG MGA NASA ABROAD WHICH THEIR MONEY MULTIPLY
THERE WILL NO CHANGES IF WE ARE ALL ACTING LIKE A KID THAT WHEN THEY GAVE AS WHITE RABBIT YOU FOLLOW YOUR MASTER
In terms of infra., I believe gov Takit has done more than all projects done by previous governors in their 30 yrs. In 20 yrs, Vicsy had cemented to my estimate only more or less 5kms substandard roads from Pidigan to Pilar. The bridge south of Viciosa was also constructed in his last term. But gov Takit finished the cementing of the 36 kms in his first 3 yrs.! The Mabilong Lumaba bridge was constructed and the provincial road from Pidigan to Pilar was extended far south to Dalit with some 20 kms to a total of 36 kms! Recently, raods up to Tubo is now fully cemented per info from friends in the KALAHI n COA. The NEW Abra prov. Hospital, the rehab of Lumaba Clinic etc were all possible thru the leadership of Gov. Takit. And we have THE BIGGEST BONUS, OUR GOVERNOR CAMPAIGN FOR PEACE BECAUSE HE REALLY LOVES PEACE.
Come 2016 elections, it will be a final test between peace loving candidates n electorates supported by law enforcers against blood thirsty candidates with their PAGS. Most Abrenians love peace, n certainly Peace succeed.
Tagamasid u are indeed hunyango or doblekara u condemned the general and his henchmen for their impartiality to ensure the victory of koliglig n allies against kabalyo now u want them again to support koliglig.
SAAN KA NGA MANGNAMNAMA NO 2016 TAGAMASID KUARTA KUARTA LAENG DAYTA ISU TAY PANAGRUAR DAGITY NAKOPIT NI KOLIGLIG
Isu ngarud nga adda da diay palawan ita ta apanda ramanan man dagitoy nakopit dan ay kaasi kampay ditoy abra rigat latta met

Dont u worry koliglig koliglig will be supported by his own pags in lingtan n platoon of army wd pnp this election

Talagang SUMALASO ang maging pinuno ninyo dito….walang malaking balls na may lakas Somali sa Laban. Swerte ninyo nandito si Boss Takit, kung hindi puro killers na kinakakatakutan ninyo ang maging pinuno. Kaya mag-isip isip na…suport Boss at grupo. Tuloy ang pag-unlad at tahimik pa ang buhay sa tuloy niyang paninilbi. Ireport ang mga PAGS at bahala ng Abra Shield na mag patahimik sa kanila. Huwag kayong matakot sa sarili ninyon anino…nakakahiya yan.
Shame on koliglig those bastards allies turned foes were tolorated by ur boss takit kopitan he let evil to triumph for him to be saint in the eyes of abrenian n cover up his graft practices. Shame on you that the pnp will support koliglig they realized how koliglig used them and to be dumped after election.
IS ABRA IS SAFER AND BETTER WITHOUT KOLIGLIG????DO ABRA HAS A CHOICE ???IN MY OBSERVER AND REPORTERS NOTEBOOK ITS A BIG YES ..THERES A LOT OF CHOICES THAT IS Over QUALIFIED TALENTED INDIVIDUALS WHO WAS GRADUATED FROM PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITIES TO GOVERN HIGHEST ABRA PROVINCIAL POST BUT SCARED AND FEW ARE WILLING TO FACE THIS FAMILIES..AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM..second was the educationAL ATTAINMENT
…IMAGINE most of them are under graduate all they have ARE PAGS TO MAKE YOU SCARED AND UNCOMFORTABLE ..ONLY UNEDUCATED IDIOTS WILL Follow them…
ABRA ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE CHANGES..THE ANSWERE IS 2016 ELECTION IS COMING .YOUR VOTE WILL DECIDE ?

Lakbay muna news
Koliglig doesnt deserve to be governor of abra or even kagawad as leni robredo said to grace poe who once renounced to be a filipino. Thats the reason why koliglig did nothing to all the problems from his predecessor bec once he failed this forthcoming elections he will renounce again his filipino n take back his american citizenship
“Problems he inherited to his predecessor”

Binabato lamang ang mabungang kahoy. Kaya laging komentaryo laban Kay Boss kasi punongpuno ng pagmamahal sa Abrenio. Dapat lang hindi pumapatol dahil alam niyang inggitero lamang ang mga ito, at malayo sila sa kanyang libel. Dahil sa tuloytuloy ng tapat na paglilingkod, LANDSLIDE na naman ang panalo next year.
CAPITAN MAY TRABAHO KA BA O WALA , PAG WALA HUWAG KA MUNANG MAG POST … PARA LANG SA MAY TRABAHO AT NAGBABAYAD NANG TAXES ANG MGA NANDITO IHO

Magsumikap ka at huwag na lang manatili sa inggit Kay boss kung hindi para kang talapakdong na lagi naka buka ang mata..kawawang Erika.

Sapay koma ta natalna ti amana nga mayor nga natayen nga pada nga lastog. Mano ngata nga agtuturay ti Abra ti aglaslastog nga agisubli ti tulong no panawen ti kalamidad?
I hate both koliglig n joy but i often criticize the latter because of the conjugual corruption and no effort to reduce crime in our beloved province he priotize infra projects that they can collect tongpats from it than to improve peace n order situation. For 9 years he let innocent abrenians killed by his allies turned political foes for him to be saint in the eyes of mostly idiot abrenians who believe what they heard n see in the radio n print media that being fed by his own media prostitute n spin doctors. Tagamasid is admiring duterte for his style in dealing criminals n corrupt leaders but he could not hate koliglig for being kabaligtaran of duterte so i believe tagamasid is idiot or one of the spin doctors of koliglig.
