In June, three editorial staff members of The Tiller - that's the name of our high school paper - and I attended a Camp Blog at Visayas State University, Baybay City, Leyte. One of the outputs we made was a photo story of Baybay's dry market section.
We were at the pubic market on June 24 from 3:00 to 5:00 P.M. where we took photographs of the area assigned to us. With us and the other participants were the Camp Blog facilitators and Mr. Jimmy Domingo, a photojournalist and our resource person for that activity.
This photo story is a product of long discussions and brainstorming among the group members and Mr. Domingo, but we give the biggest credit to Miguel Albert Taveros, The Tiller's Editor-in-Chief and layout artist for bringing to life our ideas through this output because of his knowledge of Adobe movie-maker.

- Greenware Customized Systems and PC Accessories. It's a computer store located at Prince Baybay.
- Mercury Drug Corporation. It's far from being an ordinary drug store because it has its own grocery section. The store is open until 10:00 P.M. (that's what I like about "Mercury")
- Prince Baybay -- is the biggest store in the city. Panny's Bakeshop, which sells cakes and pastries, and Rose Pharmacy have also their own stalls inside the building. Aside from credit cards, Prince Baybay also accepts debit cards.

Three Waray Adjectives: MAUPAY, MABAYSAY, MAHUSAY
These three adjectives - maupay, mabaysay, and mahusay - are often interchangeably used by Waray speakers when describing things especially when expressing something positive. I will explain through this post how each word is different from the two other words.
When a thing or an idea is described as maupay, it suggests that it is of good quality. Let's have the following examples:
To a Waray speaker, a seminar may be good (having excellent speakers, good food, comfortable venue), but not beautiful; hence, seminars are rarely described as mabaysay. A doctor is usually maupay (good) nga duktor. To say that the doctor is mabaysay simply means she is a female and is lovely. Yes, the word is not normally used when describing males.
The third adjective, mahusay, also means beautiful or lovely and can be used in lieu of mabaysay. In fact, the two words are almost synonymous.
Here's one very important difference between these two words: an umbrella may be described as mabaysay, but it cannot be called mahusay by a Norte Samarnon Waray speaker. Why? It's because mahusay is exclusively used when describing people, particularly women; thus, we say:
When a thing or an idea is described as maupay, it suggests that it is of good quality. Let's have the following examples:
maupay nga payong (umbrella)
maupay nga bisikleta (bicyle)
maupay nga eskuylahan (school)
maupay nga seminar
maupay nga kahoy (tree)
The focus when describing a thing as maupay is on its function or usability; hence, maupay nga payong suggests that an umbrella is good and that it performs its function well as an umbrella. Maupay nga eskuylahan is a school that offers quality instruction. Meanwhile, a person described as maupay is somebody with good qualities as an individual. It may also suggest that the person has an unquestionable character or reputation.
maupay nga asawa (wife/husband)
maupay nga bata (boy/girl)
maupay nga babaye (woman)
maupay nga duktor (doctor)
mabaysay nga eskuylahan (Visayas State University)
To describe the above-mentioned nouns as mabaysay still suggests goodness or the quality of being good; however, the focus of mabaysay is more on the physical attributes of a thing or of a person. An umbrella may be perceived as mabaysay (beautiful) because of its intricate design. Mabaysay nga kahoy (tree) may imply that it has various colors or that it looks physically good. A school may be described as maupay (offers quality instruction) and mabaysay (having a beautiful campus) at the same time.

mahusay nga daraga (beautiful lady)
Here's one very important difference between these two words: an umbrella may be described as mabaysay, but it cannot be called mahusay by a Norte Samarnon Waray speaker. Why? It's because mahusay is exclusively used when describing people, particularly women; thus, we say:
mahusay nga babaye (beautiful woman)
mahusay nga bata (beautiful girl)
mahusay nga asawa (beautiful wife)
Tikang sa Leyte ngan Samar -- SMART Padala is Now Available in San Roque, Northern Samar, Philippines
Sending money to your family in San Roque, Northern Samar should no longer be a problem now that SMART Padala is operating in this town. Banks and agencies like LBC, MLhuiller, and Western Union are just non-existent in San Roque; hence, whoever receives money through them has to go to Catarman -- Northern Samar's capital town -- to claim the money.
With SMART Padala, the recipient can receive the amount in San Roque right after it is sent since the service is done through mobile remittance. If you're planning to use SMART Padala, you have to know Magkaru Store's Smart Money Number, for it is the only business establishment in San Roque that extends this kind of service. Magkaru, whose proprietor is Ms. Bles Morales, is located at San Roque's Public Market.
Municipal Building of San Roque
Remember to get the control number after sending the money as your family will need this when claiming the amount.
Online Writing Idea # 2 -- Publish Recipes Online and Earn from Them
Yes, you may earn by writing recipes because they (recipes) have their own niche in the world wide web. There's this site hosted by Triond called Notecook that features all kinds of recipes. Triond's Mtrguanlao is my favorite when it comes to recipe-writing. I like her recipes because they are easy to prepare and the ingredients are available in any local market in the Philippines.
She has this passion for food experimenting. She coins her own terms and assigns unique names to her recipes that are grouped into four categories, namely: No-bake Cakes, Best for Merienda, Main Dish or Side Dish, and Beverages.
