This headliner at Inquirer.net:
“Malacañang wants the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) to issue its position on the land dispute involving farmers from Sumilao, Bukidnon by the time the farmers reach Metro Manila next week, at the end of a month-long march from Mindanao.”

Cinchona: Philippine Eagle watch in Bukidnon’s Mt. Kitanglad Nature Park
I chanced upon this nine-minute AVP (audio-visual presentation) of an observatory of the Philippine Eagle in Cinchona Forest Reserve Kaatuan,Lantapan, Bukidnon.

24-hour Fastfood in Valencia City
Starting this year, Jollibee’s restaurant in Valencia City has opened its doors for 24 hours. This should be the first round the clock presentable food house in Bukidnon.

This time, however, it has become official. The government started to include Bukidnon’s mining potentials in its marketing presentations to foreign investors.
In this [...]

New website on Bukidnon
Bukidnon News is a new webite on Bukidnon. Or at least one which I encountered just very recently.
It is a promising site to visit especially with a dearth of dynamic online materials dedicated on Bukidnon.
I have an impression this is a work of someone from the provincial office of the Department of Trade and Industry [...]
