Give and Take

In its most basic sense, it refers to two or more people or parties exchanging something back and forth, and often has to do with ideas, such as give and take in conversations or discussions, where each person contributes something to the topic, and each also takes away something new.

It can also mean reaching an agreement on a dispute by each party agreeing to compromise. You can see that it is related to the above sense, because they negotiate, and each gives something, but also takes something away, such as countries negotiating a border dispute. Both may want the same piece of land, but through give and take, or compromise, they agree that one of them will claim one part of the land, say from the mountains to the river, and the other will take the other piece of land, from the other side of the river to the ocean.

Boracay

Boracay Resort is one of the hottest travel destinations in the Philippines attracting thousands of foreign travelers every season. The world famous Boracay Island is located in Aklan province 345 kms. South of Manila. Boracay Philippines is a beautiful small island surrounded by coral reefs and located one kilometer north-west of Panay in the island Visayas. It is 7 kilometer long and 1 kilometer width at its narrowest point.

Boracay is made up of three little communities: Yapak in the north, Balabag in the middle, and Manoc-manoc in the south. Hilly elevations up to 100 meters above sea level characterize Yapak and Manoc-manoc. Intertwining trails link the small three villages together but sometimes may lead to a lush tropical jungles. Boracay Island is accessible by air from Manila or Cebu through the two principal air gateways: the Caticlan Airport and the Kalibo Airport. Public transportation and Electricity are remain relatively scarce.

Once on the island, you will find out that getting around is easy and simple. There are three categories of transportion: motorized tricycles and pedicabs shared with other passengers, individually rented motorbikes and bicycles, and shuttle service offered by some hotel owners. Taxi's are not available however, since everything in Boracay is more or less within walking distance, you will find most likely to join the majority of visitors moving around Boracay Island on foot.

The best part of Boracay is its 4 kilometer "White Sand Beach", also known as the Long Beach by its residents. It is located at the West Coast between the villages of Balabag and Angol, and some experienced travelers claim it to be the "Finest Beach of all Asia". The water is shallow, sand is finer and more brighter than any most beaches in the archipelago. There are about 350 beach hotel resorts with more than 2000 rooms to suit virtually everyone's taste.

8,000 Politicians get comelec nod on gun ban exeptions.

The Commission on Elections granted gun ban exemptions to at least 8,000 politicians, GMANews.TV learned on Saturday from Commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer.

Ferrer said almost 50,000 individuals lodged their applications to carry guns during the election season. But he said the number of applicants who got Comelec's nod, especially in the high risk category, was lower this year than during the May 2004 elections.

“I don’t have the figures but from what I remember it's lower this time than the previous elections," Ferrer said.

Ferrer refused to answer when he was asked to name the politicians who got the exemptions. Earlier, he said Comelec granted 20 gun ban exemptions to boxing champ Manny Pacquiao who is gunning for a congressional post in General Santos City.

He said exemption applications from local politicians were greater than from national politicians But their applications were denied because of their failure to show proof that they were at high risk.

“There are areas which we found... are not lawless, so we denied the applications... (if they are) high risk they have to attach to their applications the proof of the threats to their lives and these (should be based on) police blotters, we don’t just grant exemptions without the evidence to prove their claims," Ferrer said.

Ferrer said about 30,000 gun ban applications were approved while 10,000 were denied.


Ferrer said politicians, the police and the military had the highest number of applications for gun ban exemptions.

Sources from the Comelec said the poll body starting on January 15, received a daily average of 500 applications for exemption.

The gun ban order took effect last January 14 and is to be observed until June 30.
