‘Hooray for Hollywood’ on Taal Volcano Island
by Jerome Balinton, Inquirer Southern LuzonIt was something only a movie star could have conceived.
Why not put up a towering “Batangas” sign on Taal Volcano island similar to the “Hollywood” sign in Los Angeles, California?
The provincial council approved on October 5 a resolution supporting the idea of Governor Vilma Santos-Recto, the award-winning actress, to erect a hard-to-miss landmark and potential tourism draw, according to Vice Governor Mark Leviste II.
Tagaytay City Mayor Abraham Tolentino, however, questioned the Hollywood-inspired design for the island, flatly saying: “Why put up a Batangas sign? It won’t help.”
“People, while sipping a cup of coffee, will just say that the view is more beautiful from Tagaytay without that sign,” Tolentino said with a hint of a warning.

I wanna be blown away, I wanna be swept off my feet. I wanna meet the one who makes it hard for me to breathe.
It has been two years since I’ve relocated here in Davao City for good. Like any other people who live outside Mindanao, the idea of living in an island filled with negative news is downright scary.
Leaving my hometown was truly heartbreaking but nonetheless, I regret nothing. It seemed like relocating to the island of Mindanao was truly a blessing in disguise because I learned a LOT of good things not just about the island but about me as a person.
And with that, I will share the most crucial moment of my life.
“Seriously sir? Me? Moving out from Manila and relocate to Davao next week? But, but, it’s in Mindanao! I have heard it’s dangerous to live there!”
“Alright, you only have two choices, Mr. Serafico. Either you resign or continue being a journalist.”
“But… but…”
“No buts Luis. You haven’t been to Davao, right? You better visit the place before judging it.”
Okay, I have always dreamed of becoming a journalist since seven. I got inspired after watching Kabayan’s lahar episode. Journalists know the real stories. Journalists touch the lives of the people. And journalists tell the remarkable stories to the whole world. But soon after my boss gave me this long-term assignment, fear started to shroud my mind.
I don’t want to die early (repeat three times) was my daily mantra.
Seriously, I don’t want to die early; I am still a virgin.
