Lakatan
I wanted to plant lakatan bananas and I contacted Ira's mom who has a lakatan farm. Even though she gave me some ideas about where to get suckers for planting, I did have to go to different people who gave me great advice. Ultimately, I met with one who successfully supplied me with 3,000 planting materials.
It was difficult at first and I had no first-hand knowledge of bananas and how to plant and care for them but there I was in Cagayan de Oro City all ready to make my mark on the rich soil there. The farm where my banana suckers were to be planted, is a short ride from the city and is situated just past Lumbia Airport. A DENR checkpoint discourages any would-be smuggler of timber products and I don't think anyone would be foolish enough to cross this checkpoint without the requisite papers.
I have seen large containers coming from Talakag which are loaded with Cavendish bananas. Cavendish is a sweet variety from which sprang the wonderful lakatan.

Moira Trinity Loves To Play A Joke On Papoy
Moira Trinity was in Dumaguete around the middle of this year and she stayed for about a week. She quickly discovered the cordless phone which she then proceeded to use in calling the other phone in the house. This she can do from anywhere in the house and she would watch with glee as she made her crank calls. Changing her voice, she would talk to her Papoy again and again pretending to be a pizza delivery cop, a strange combination. She would do this over and over again while she hid behind Papoy and upon putting down the phone, would innocently ask, "who was that, Papoy?"
Come in and take a look at these sites: Bethel Guest House, The Blog Bum, XUHS, XU-AAA.
I guess she enjoys seeing her Papoy believe that he was really talking to a pizza delivery cop. She would then tell Papoy to also order a pizza for herself. This game gave her a lot of enjoyment and once when one of her uncles asked her what was going on she whispered something her Papoy could not hear.
