Lowest Gas Prices

Zip Code Gas....
This is pretty nifty. Just enter your zip code in the site below, and it tells you which gas stations have the cheapest prices (and the highest) on gasoline in your zip code area. It's updated every evening.

Be a good neighbor and pass this along.

200th Visitor!

Our Basaynon BlogSpot has reached its 200th visitor count!

In just a matter of months, after creating this BlogSpot as an added portal for Basaynons...there is already a great amount of visitors!

Thank you for all the support!

Onwards to moving on to great and better ways to communicating and spreading the infectious happiness of BASAYNONS!

Hotel Reservations

There were a lot of questions if Basaynons are still able to avail the discounted group rate at the Marriott hotel for the Basaynon Fiesta.

Some Basaynons families are getting to Chicago before Friday, and staying after Sunday's events...yet there was a concern for the increase of room rates going up before and after the event.

Message from the Hermano:
"Marriott Sales Rep said this afternoon that they are extending the discounted room rate to Monday, July 28th. "

(make sure to double check your confirmation/ bill for charged rates!)

This is definitely great news for all, nga mamatron, in Chicago!

Send those RSVPs!
Make those RESERVATIONS!

Obama's appreciation for Filipinos on Fil-Am Independce day

In a statement posted in his official campaign blog Friday (Thursday in the US), the presumptive US Democratic party presidential nominee recognized the "enormous contributions" of generations of Filipino immigrants in building the United States, citing their service in both public and private sectors.
The junior US Senator from Illinois looked back to his childhood in Hawaii, saying that based on his experiences growing up in the state, Filipinos "have had an enormous positive impact on the culture and economy."
"As dedicated military and civil servants, lawyers and bankers, artists, engineers and entrepreneurs, agricultural and industrial laborers, healthcare providers and customer service workers, caretakers for our elderly and youth, Filipino Americans—4 million strong—have enriched our country, embodied our nation's highest ideals, and reflected the very best that the Philippines has to offer," Obama said in the statement.

Improving Basay

After a recent conference in Cebu City, Cebu, it has been established that JICA, Japan International Cooperation Agency has set a deal to work with the Basey Water District to help finance the very much needed improvements for a properly functional water district.

The grant by the Japanese co-op will fund, the SMALL WATER DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT!

As the cleaning up of illegal structures by the seawall has already started, and with the water district reaching a milestone in improvment plans... lets just all hope that the citizens of Basay will also help out and support these steps to reach a BEAUTIFUL and CLEAN Basey !!!!

a great read, and brings a wonderful insight on how the hype of nursing as the #1 major/course for college students to take can actually affect an increase of unemployment for the Philippines.
