Marinduque: History repeats itself!

 Dave Allan Caruana, a Maltese who resides in Brgy. Tabi, Boac said:


Following the great powercut at the end of last week, it seems that power generation on Marinduque is reduced to 3MW or so, about half the required demand - for that reason the friendly folk at Marelco (Marinduque Electrical Cooperative) have decided to divide the island into East (Sta. Cruz, Torrijos) and West (Boac, Gasan, Buenavista) and give us power on alternating days - power gets restored at around 6pm, and cut again 6pm the next day - it's been like this for a few days now, and it makes life really difficult.

Yesterday I was driving past the Marelco main office, and I noticed their 'vision', painted in large letters near to the entrance gate - I took a photo for amusement purposes, i'm not sure if this 'vision' statement is meant to be humourous, sarcastic, sad .. These are the guys that have managed to screw up an agreement made in 2004 to the point that it's impossible to keep a few lights on, and anyone with a business has to keep a generator going!

Marinduque: Natures Play A Tricks In Marinduque

A former governor swears by the book that she’s much older, but since all available information places her age at 79, (born 1931), skeptics, in all fairness, just have to live with that fact. He, on the other hand, was born in 1977, the unlikely political rival, who has become the object of her personal ire simply because he dared to put up a challenge to earn that lone district seat in congress that she occupied for 22 years, her loving son, 12 years. That makes her exactly 46 years older than him, and him exactly 46 years younger than her.

“Exactly”, because nature must have played a trick here, somehow. They share the same birthday. Both born on the 9th of November, the two highest ranking elected government officials of the Province of Marinduque.

But since we will never know if nature really played a trick (or treat?) here, in this fortuitous circumstance that has befallen us, and since most of us, poor, innocent souls find ourselves, now and then betwixt the forces, good or bad, emanating from such a curious situation, we might turn to the stars for some light of understanding, perhaps? So, just for fun?

Based on Astrology and Numerology methods iftodayisyourbirthday.com offers the following revelation of some of the characteristics of those born on November 9th of any year. ’31 or ’77:
