ISKAWTING: SA PAG-INOG NG PANAHON

aligay pamipipikit ‘di ha Botolan! (Maligayang pagkikita dito sa Botolan) is how Botolenos welcome their guests wishing them to feel

at home away from their own as this town hosts this 17th BSP NationalJamboree.Where are the others when Apolaki (supreme god of the native Aetas) showered his blessings? Botolan surely has grabbed a

handful from that eruption of blessings. With an area of 735.28 sq. km just South of the provincial capital of Iba, Botolan is the largest municipality of the province with 31 barangays. The word “Botolan” is a sambal word which combines the word botol (seeds) and the

locality prefix-an referring to place with a native variety of a seeded banana, thus, Botolan.

True to its slogan “Yours to Discover”, Botolan is a gem unearth from the heart of the province.It is a first class municipality that has risen from the ashes (literally) 28 years after the eruption of Mount Pinatubo, that this beautiful disaster has enabled the town

to be put into map with the breathtaking panoramic view of the crater lake.From its famous volcano, down to chilly mountain rivers and falls, the town now capitalizes from Tukal-tukal falls that catapults its income from the turbulent past

of the town. Tukal-tukal which means stairs or hagdan-hagdan in tagalog boast its 4 tiered crystal clear water falls that soothes your soul after a long trek.The Town Mayor, Bing Maniquiz-Jeresano established Camp Kainomayan on 2016 and now a first class recreational facility in Barangay San Juan, near the Bucao

River which rented out all - terrain vehicles as the jump-off point from these two scenic spots. The only thing left to do is to coordinate to the Office of Tourism of Botolan. The Camp Kainomayan itself is another wonder to try like extreme adventure, wall climbing, zipline, paintball shooting and also offers other amenities like

swimming pool and the Likatu restaurant.Pinatubo’s explosion may have disrupted Botolan way back 1991, but a quarter of a century hence, the danger zone that once blanketed the town was finally

ready for its grand reveal as the newest tourism capital of Zambales. There’s more to discover.

ng kinabukasan ng isang matibay na bansa ay nakasalalay sa mga bagong lider na hinulma ng mga mapitagang pinuno na kasalukuyang

gumagabay upang mabuo ang komunidad ng mga mamamayang responsable at may mabuting asal. Iyan ang mismong misyon ng iskawting, ang makapag-ambag sa paghubog ng mga kabataan at kapwa sa panuntunan ng batas ng iskawts at pinanumpaang sistema na hangad ang pangsibikong pag-unlad bilang epektibong sandata sa pagbuo ng isang mundong aakap ng pagkakaiba kung saan ang bawat indibidwal ay nagiging kabahagi sa paglago ng kabuan. Ito rin ang siyang ipinahahatid ng 17th National Scout Jamboree na itinakda ngayong Disyembe1-7 sa bayan ng Botolan, lalawigan ng Zambales na may temang “Saving Lives” kung saan pinagtipon ang ibat-ibang kultura na may sari-saring paniniwala mula sa ibat-ibang panig ng bansa na pinagbuklod ng iisang adhika. Makatulong sa kapwa. Tila isa itong bugso ng mga alon na mithiing ukitin ang dalampa-sigan na kung ang bawat pampang ay sama-samang iindahin ang hamon ng daluyong nitong dagat ay makabubuo ng isang napakagan-dang isla na pino ang buhanging nagbibigay kinang sa bawat gilid nito. Isang pagpapaala na ang gawaing ito ang kikinis sa bawat talento at kakayahan ng bawat isa na nais maging kabahagi ng pampang kung saan sisilip ang liwanag sa tuwing tatamaan ng sikat ng araw. Isang patunay na ang mumunting mabubuting gawi, kung pinagsa-sama-sama ay lilikha ng napakalaking pagbabago. Iyan ang hatid ng bawat iskawt! At sa hakbanging tuparin ang tungkulin hindi lamang para sa sarili, kundi para sa diyos, sa kapwa at sa bayan ay aasahan naman ang mga bagong sibol na pinuno na siyang magtataguyod ng iskawting. Ang lahat ng ito’y pamanang tinipon nang mahabang panahon na dapat tanggapin, kilalanin, pagyabungin upang sa susunod na pagka-kataon ay mapasakamay ng mga susunod na salinlahi. Itaguyod ang iskawting!

eing a mother would mean raising someone who could be a symbolic testament of what mothers could immortalize – great children and leaders to look up to. Accepting

the challenge of being a mother to thousands of Scouts is truly something that is beyond mortal could do. The responsibility itself is a sacrifice a mother could endure and the fulfillment of this promise will forever be in history. And there goes our mother, Nanay Bing. Mayor Doris Maniquiz-Jeresano, as everyone called her “Nanay Bing”, is the perfect example of a mother who despite the challenges of holding the biggest scouting activity of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, keeps on proving that taking risk is always better and that giving-up should never be in the equation. The Municipality of Botolan took the spotlight when it accepted the offer to hold the 17th National Scout Jamboree with its theme “Saving Lives”. Aside from its highlight of giving the Scouters new life – changing experiences and memories to cherish forever, it is the perfect time for the Scouters from all over the Philippines to experience how Nanay Bing show extraordinary love to her children.

CONCEIVING THE CHALLENGES “Turismo ang isa sa ipinagmamalaki ng bayan ng Botolan. Mula nang magsimula tayong maglingkod, ninanais na nating ipakilala ang Botolan dahil sa pagkakaroon natin ng Pinatubo at Tukal Tukal. Inimbitahan ko na ang mga Scouts sa ating bayan upang mas makilala pa hindi lamang ang probinsiya ng Zambales kundi maging ang bayan ng Botolan,” with this vision, Nanay Bing nodded to hold the 17th National Scout Jamboree. To recall, it started 2014 when Nanay Bing introduced Camp Kainomayan as the future tourism capital of Zambales. Aside from locals here, she also invited the scouters to hold different scouting activities inside the camp. With her good leadership, Camp Kainomayan became the venue of District Camp, Provincial Jamboree Encampment, National Rover Moot and before her administration concludes, she was able to bring 17th National Scout Jamboree to the town.

THE BIRTH OF SERVICE “Paano ba ang pagiging isang nanay? Syempre ang isang nanay, lahat nang ikabubuti para sa mga anak niya ay nais niyang ibigay. Kaya naman nagtulong – tulong ang mga ahensya ng pamahalaan upang maging maayos at ligtas ang magiging National Scout Jamboree,” she assured. With her goals in mind, she assured that everything is carefully monitored from safety, accommodation, health and sanitation and cleanliness.

Together with the support from Philippine National Police, Provincial Engineering Office, Department of Health, Special Action Force and the Local Government Unit of Botolan and the province of Zambales, the best for her children are what the mother’s utmost concerns. Nanay Bing wants to personally be of service for her children anytime that they need her. She wants everyone to feel the love of a mother as they are miles away from their own homes.

RAISING THE CHILDREN “Sa pagdating ng mga Scouters sa ating lugar, nais nating makita nila ang mga magagandang tanawin ng Botolan. Magkaroon ng mga hindi malilimutang karanasan sa ating bayan at mga magagandang pag – uugali ng mga mamamayan ng Botolan.”It cannot be denied that the 17th National Scout Jamboree is the most anticipated activity that every scouter in the Philippines is looking forward and Nanay Bing wishes everyone to take part of the Jamboree and as for the delegates- bring home fond memories without the boredom of having no mothers around- ‘cause she’s there! More than being a Camp Chief, Nanay Bing will be the mother of the scouters all over the Philippines whom by chance had never imagined to give birth to such big crowd but wholeheartedly embraced the responsibility and challenges that only a mother can provide. Truly, a mother’s love away from home. | M. DUQUE

Heart“Jun” was once an active scout who internalized the life-survival skills from each Scout Jamboree he had participated,

grown from every leadership and companionship values, and lived-up with the most important lesson in his life- to be prepared at all cost. Indeed, Scouting has a great role in honing and preparing “Jun” to be of what we have known him

“Una, labay kon ipatanda ha kaganawan ya ampanatili et biyay ya kultura nawen kaw-katutubo. Ahe et angkaliwawan ya pinangibatan. Ha panaon hapaeg ay kaya nawen hanan makisabay ha pagbabayo nin panaon.” (Una, gusto kong ipaalam sa lahat na nananatiling buhay ang kultura naming katutubo. Hindi pa nakakalimutan ang pinanggalingan. Sa panahon ngayon ay kaya na naming makipagsabayan sa pagbabago ng panahon) pambungad ni Mark John Dela Cruz, 12 at kasalukayang nasa ika-anim na baitang sa pinakamalayong eskwelahan na 42 kilometro mula sa mismong bayan ng Botolan, ang Cabatuan Integrated School (CIS).

Isa si Mark John sa tatlong iskawts mula sa CIS na buhay na patotoo kay Borotoy, ang opisyal na mascot ng 17th Scout National Jamboree na sa kasuotan palang ay lehitimong nagpapakilala ng mga katutubo ng bayang kanlungan ng bulkang Pinatubo. Ang katawagang Borotoy ay hango sa kung papaano tinatawag ang mga batang Aeta ng bayan ng Botolan na katumbas ng salitang “totoy” sa Tagalog. Tulad ni Borotoy, hangad ni John Mark na maipamalas ang kakaibang kultura at pagkamalikhain na walang dudang dapat na ipagmalaki upang lubos na mauunawaan at matanggap ng lahat.“Pangarap kon makalamo alwa bongat hiko, pati kaw kapwa kon aeta emen makit boy matanam nin taw taga-aypa ya alwa kayin kanayon konla,” (Pangarap kong makasama hindi lang ako, kundi maging kapwa ko aeta upang makita ng mga taga nayon na hindi kami kaiba sa kanila), dagdag ni John Mark. Sadya ngang walang pinipiling katayuan sa buhay o kinikilalang

No Plastic Advocacy: Plastik mo ahepen mo

(Plastik mo, sinupin mo)pinatutupad na ang “No Plastic Advocacy” ni Mayor Doris “Nanay Bing“ Maniquiz bilang polisiya

sa bayan ng Botolan na naglalayong humikayat ng mga tao, partikular sa Botolan na gumamit ng mga makakalikasang sisidlan gaya ng eco bags at mga bayong; sa katunayan ay mayroon ng ordinansang naipasa sa regulasyon sa paggamit ng plastic. Bilang paghahanda sa nalalapit na 17th National Scout Jamboree, mayroong inilagak na mga designated pick-up point o temporary Material Recovery Facility (MRF) para sa solid wastes ang Local Government Unit (LGU) ng Botolan. Ipinagbabawal ang paggamit ng mga single use plastics at ang pagbebenta ng bottled waters at lahat ng staff na nasa field ay may polisiya na “bring your own kubyertos, plato at inuman ng tubig.” “Every day tuwing hapon po ang pagpipick-up ng basura, ilagay la-mang po sa designated pick-up point. Pinapaalala po namin, paghiwa-hiwa-layin po natin ang ating mga basura. May tatlong division po sa ginawa na MRF, ito po ay ang compostable, recy-clable, at biodegradable,” paliwanag ni Gng. Anadine Encinares-Manzin-ares, Environmental Specialist ng LGU Botolan. Ika nga ni Nanay Bing, “Kaakibat nang pag-unlad ng turismo ay ang malinis na kapaligiran.”

by now.“Life is always a challenge. We don’t know what will happen tomorrow, so we need to be prepared.” This striking statement

of the Zambales Governor, Hermogenes E. Ebdane only proves how he had embraced the privilege and responsibility of being a Boy Scout from his years as an ordinary boy, “Jun”. He did not even miss the chance to make his appearance during the test-run of the National Scout Jamboree and even welcomed a sit down interview where he proudly shared his insights about the said

program. He remembered memories of his youth where he just not only enjoyed the perks of being a Scout but also took obligation over the significant roles and civic values he had acquired through experiencing the BSP Jamboree. “’Pinapaalala kung ano ‘yong mga dapat matutunan. Mayroon isang challenge…. Papaano kung wala na ang mga gamit na ito or what, mabubuhay ba sila? Pero kung ganoon na alam mo ‘yong background (Scout skills) kahit na hindi ka marunong gumawa no’n, mag-iisip ka. ‘Yong natutunan mo rito (Scout Jamboree) magagamit mo ‘yon.” the governor stated

the importance of encampment and citizenship training especially to the youth. “A Boy Scout is a leader in the making. One who is prepared for whatever tomorrow will bring. A Boy Scout is always prepared, that is the Boy Scout Motto.”, he reminisced the past that taught him this valuable lesson. Hence, this defines how the governor was molded into an excellent leader who is always prepared to provide solutions for the needs of his fellowmen, a committed public servant. The man behind the 17th National

lahing pinagmulan ang pagnanais ng isang iskawt na maging magandang ehemplo at maging ganap na lider sa hinaharap.“Welcome ha maganda boy masagana ya banowa nin Botolan! (welcome sa maganda at masaganang bayan ng Botolan). Sa mga kapwa ko iskawts, ang isang borotoy sa ganitong camping activity ay patunay na ang salitang diskriminasyon ay - wala na. Nawa’y maisabuhay natin ang lahat ng matututunan natin at aral na makukuha sa iskawting. Maging laging handa tayo sa lahat ng mga pagbabagong darating,” aniya. Sa iksi ng panahong makikilala natin bawat isa, hindi ba maganda kung ang bawat Borotoy ay ‘sing-sidhi ng pagmamahal ni John Mark sa lahing walang hangad kundi ang pagtanggap at pagkatuto? sino ka o sino tayo upang hindi ipagmalaki na minsan sa buhay ng iskawt ay matawag sa palayaw na “Borotoy”. Sana all!

Scout Jamboree, Governor Ebdane is a living proof of how Scouting activities transform life, like from that aspiring “Jun”, to a life with a driven purpose. At the end of the day, the governor will always be that scouter, who carried out Scout values as his guide, with actions representing the leader within, always prepared to face any obstacle that life may bring. This is what he envisions the succeeding generations of Boy Scouts to be, following footsteps after footsteps of great actions for greater goals for the greatest number. Indeed, a Boy Scout by heart.

“Tisoy” pinaghandaan ng MDRRMO Botolan

Tiniyak ng Municipal Risk Reduction Office (MDRRMO) ng Botolan, sa pangunguna ni G. Andy R. Divino, ang isang planado at plantsadong paghahanda para maging ligtas sa Bagyong “Tisoy” ang bawat delegado sa gaganaping 17th National Scout Jamboree sa Camp Kainomayan, Botolan, Zambales. Kasama sa mga magiging aksyon bilang solusyon ng nasabing ahensya sa mga problemang maaaring kaharapin ng mga scouters hinggil sa bagyo ay ang pagtatalaga ng tatlong paaralan sa Botolan upang maging “evacuation school” kung sakaling bumuhos ang malakas na ulan. Nakaalerto rin sa mismong campsite ang MDRRMO Booth na magbibigay tugon para sa kaligtasan ng bawat campers sa mga kalamidad at sakunang maaari nilang kaharapin.
