I Need Help

I do not know why some people will do nothing but make our world into a living nightmare. I am not using my pc right now. I am afraid that everything on it was hacked. Two days ago, I was so surprised that I cannot log in to my Facebook. I am always online to it and communicate to my friends. I chat to them too. If I am on your list, check my name and I was deleted in FB already. That is good for me, an impostor try to probably log in my FB and so it was locked! Now, my problem is my email address. I am using that email address in all my personal and business transactions. Now, it will also be compromised.

Divine Mercy Hill

Divine Mercy Hill is located in Ulaliman, El Salvador City. This 50 ft. high figure of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was build out of donation of the people. Today, this place is one of the most travelled places in Mindanao. An hour or less drive from Cagayan de Oro City proper. You can reach this place jeepney if you need to commute. Then, if want to hike to the hill form the main highway, its your call. At the main highway, you can ride in a motorcycle for a minimal price.

Cagayan de Oro Port

This is the usual scenario of Cagayan de Oro Port especially when passenger ships docked on the PIER area. We call this Motorela which can accommodate 8 to 10 passengers depending on the body built of the person. For a minimal fare towards the city proper or to the bus terminal, this is a good transportation. If you are a foreigner, I suggest you let your local companion do the negotiation of the fare with the driver. This Port is just 10 minutes drive to the city proper. If you have no heavy luggage, take the jeepney. It is much cheaper but, be sure to ask where you are heading because there were two routes; the A and B. Better yet, know your destination. If you have question, just leave a comment in this post.
Welcome to the City of Golden Friendship. Rest assured that the people here are friendly and approachable. Just look after your baggages/lugggages because when the crowd is heavy like this, you will not know what will happen. The transportation that is available when you go out from this gate:

*Motorela- you can negotiate the driver where to go.

*Jeepney- PIER R1 and PIER R2 - either way, the route will be heading to Cogon Market and back. Be acquainted with your destination. To shorten your travel and avoid the traffic, know your destination.

* Taxi- It is the best transportation if it will use the meter. In most cases, taxi drivers will negotiate at a higher price and turn off the meter. If there are drivers who take advantage in this situation, passengers have the option to decline the offer. You can also report them; the local government does not tolerate them.
Motorela on standby and waiting for commuters.

Swimming To Earn

This is the blue water in the PIER area of Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. We are heading to Bohol so, we are on board to a Negros Navigation Ship. The schedule was delayed because one of the engines broke down and it took them five hours to fix it. I took the Suite Room, so huge but, since there was no air condition at this time, we went to grasp for fresh air at the deck. Here is the view below us.Four kids, under the 80 degrees heat, having boating and swimming. They did not swim for fun here. The eldest boy baby sat for the youngest brother. Their parents worked as vendors nearby. The on board passengers throw coins to them. They will catch and find the coin underneath the water. They are expert for this skill. Not a single coin will be wasted. They were fast swimmers.

I do not know if this scenario happen in another country. In the Philippines, it is normal in the Pier area. I never throw coins though. I bought some crackers and throw it to them. They ate it. I can only sigh with this sight.
