The adage is true:  health is really wealth.  When you are healthy and in tiptop shape, money is of no consequence.  But if you get sick, really sick, then, your loads of money will have gone away in a breeze.

For Bikolanos, especially those residing in Naga City and its nearby environs, it’s that time of the year again:  the regional feast of our favorite Ina – Nuestra Senora de Peñafrancia, our beloved patroness and succor.

As the Virgin Mary is at home at the Basilica Minore, it is therefore obligated that all residents of Naga City who are devotees must play the roles as congenial hosts to the thousands of visitors and other devotees who will surely troop to Bikol to witness and become part of its colorful and pious celebration.

After the long hiatus when I had fulfilled all academic requirements and hurdled the comprehensive examinations, I could no longer escape the dreaded last sacrifice in order to claim a graduate degree.

Like most Bikolanos, I was glued to the TV set last June 30 and in the process strained my eyes and numbed my fingers as I watched with bated breath who will be proclaimed the Big Winner of reality TV’s latest edition of Pinoy Big Brother.

It took a lot of discernment before I finally decided to lie out my sentiments and write something about an ugly incident that happened to me at GSIS during a routine government transaction.

Much as I wanted to bury the ruckus under the list of "experiences," I felt that I needed to say my piece here to finally attain my peace.

As a good civil servant, I was just following the drudgery of a simple GSIS procedure like applying for an E-Card Plus – another requirement for all government employees – when suddenly; a very routine procedure went awry and downright bizarre!
