VLOG: Abreeza Ayala Mall as to Accessibility

This is my first Video Blog or should I say VLOG. My VLOG/s will feature places in the country and their accessibility for wheelchair person and to all Persons With Disabilities (PWDs). This is to give awareness to the public that it’s already part of the Law which is called The Batas Pambansa Bldg 344. The said accessibility law is a way to enhance the mobility of PWDs by requiring certain buildings, institutions, establishments and public utilities to install facilities and other devices for accessibility. This will promote the realization of the rights of PWDs to participate fully in the social life and the development of the country.

We Exist. We Participate. We Contribute.

My PBB Experience (Part1)

March 18( 9pm) – I was texting with my friend if he’s going with me in the audition and he was in second thought of not because of financial problem. Then i told him I will be the one to shoulder his fare. He finally say yes and we agreed that we’ll be leaving davao @4am.

March 19 (4:30am) – unfortunately, I woke up around 4:30am then texted my friend to prepare then and we’ll just meet at the bus terminal. Around 6am, we finally started our ride going to Tagum city. 7:30am we were in the said city already but we need to find a store where we could have Xerox my ID and birth certificate because it’s the requirement for the audition. Like 30minutes of riding a tricycle just to look for a Xerox machine and finally we saw one (thank you to the tricycle driver). Around 8am we went to Gaisano south grand mall where the audition was happening. When I saw the lines for the audition, I felt like of not auditioning. People are intently looking at us and I know what’s in their minds. Hehehehhe. Well, I said to my friend and I quote “Naa nata dinhe og mao ni atong tuyo so tara na mo linya nata”.

Then finally we fell in line and as I estimated there were around 2000 auditionees already at that time. The audition started around 10am and you could imagine there were 2000 people already before us and time to time only 10 auditionees will have their numbers then go inside to face the first screening. Like how many hours of waiting outside just to get our number and we experienced heat, rain, heat, rain again and we had no choice but to remain in line.

It’s around 2pm that people are really in motion while having the lines, in just a few minutes we could feel and imagine that stampede might happened for people are really trying to go first. My friend and I decided to leave our lines and were gonna try to ask the management if we could just stay on the side and ask for our numbers. We explained to them that its quite difficult for us to continue to fell in line since I am in wheelchair and thank GOD they permitted us coz if not we might really go home for that reason. Then we had our numbers now and then we stayed in the corner to wait for our numbers to be called. It’s almost 5pm and we decided to have our lunch, yes lunch @5pm and take note we didn’t had our breakfast also. We went inside the mall to eat our meal then went back outside to wait for our turn.

It’s around 9:30pm when we had our first screening with director laurente diogi of ABS-CBN.

Why Buy Memorial Lots Before You Need One?

The first reason is choice. Since Interment usually happens daily, choice lots are also being bought daily. So by the time you actually need one, you’ll most likely look at a sold lot and wish you could still buy it. Buying now assures you of getting that choice lot – today.

The second reason is affordability. If you buy a lot at the point of need, you will have to make full payment. You also pay more since lots will sell higher in the future. Buying now not only locks you to current price, you can also buy under more affordable payment schemes such as 3 years or 5 years to pay.

The third reason is protection. When you buy ahead of time, you assure your family of less financial strains upon the demise of a family member. What’s more,  installment purchase is covered by insurance – adding further protection for the family. Upon demise of lot owner, the inurer will shoulder the remaining dues (Up to a maximum of Php 200,000).

The fourth reason is investment. One thing is for sure; the lot you buy now will sell higher in the future. And because fewer lots are available in the future, you are assured that you have invested your money on a “high demand” instrument.

These are the reasons why people today buy memorial lots ahead of time. Don’t you think it’s time you do the same? Here is one premiere memorial park in Davao city.

Embrace the Reality though its Killing You

Sumtyms i don’t understand why people come & go in our lives. sum1 wud jaz comes into our lives in a short time and then leaves. It is even more strange how sum1 u once loved can become just another person you once knew. It is just so painful though. 

But this is the reality. This is life and this is where we learned. Move on… though its not that easy to deal with. Learn to embrace the reality though its killing you and most importantly, learn to love yourself. Evrything happens for a reason.

Abreeza needs Improvement in terms of PWD Accessibility

So far, ang dami pang dapat i-improve ng Abreeza Ayala Mall in terms of PWD accessibility. Pagbaba ko palang sa taxi, ito unang una ko napansin. My isang signage nakalagay itong wheelchair icon, so i was expecting my ramp don. But to my dismay, ang ramp pala andon pa sa dulo.Naghanap ako ng pwede ko sana makausap don kaso dahil sa pagmamadali kasi gutom na din, hindi nalang. At ito pa, ang daming lugar na mejo elevated, ‘yon bang pagbaba mo ng wheelchair magugulat ka kasi hindi pala pantay ‘yong dinadaanan mo. At ito pa, ang napuntahan kong CR for handicap, under construction pa daw. Bakit ganun, kung iisipin ang isang handicap CR kunti lang nman ang deperensya sa isang ordinaryong CR bat hindi pa nila matapos tapos? Isa pa, isang “bowl” lang nman yan. Kaya para sakin, SM parin ako.

Still hoping that as the construction is still on going in that said mall, they might be able to realize all these things. Just a reminder that there are PWDs (Persons With Disability) who went to malls alone just like me and I am saying this in behalf of my fellow PWDs. Hindi lamang ‘yong mga naka wheelchair pati yong ibang my kapansanan. So sana matuunan ito ng pansin.

My Beautiful Sta. Maria Dvao del Sur

The relaxing view of mountains and trees, the soothing atmosphere of bukid ambience are just part of our voyage to my hometown – Sta. Maria Davao del Sur, happened last May 15, 2011.  It was such a heartwarming experience because at that time, me and my friends from Davao city went there for a very noble cause and that was the Back 2 School Gift Giving Project. We went there to give school supplies to less fortunate children.

After the said project, another part of our trip was going to the beach. Here are just some of the happy memories we had.

This voyage of ours was really memorable especially with friends and family and in a very special purpose. Something to keep and will forever be treasured. Tnx for the memories my friends.
