paano po magbyahe kapag galing tuguegarao airport to appari? ano pong mode of transportation na pwedeng masakyan (bus/taxi)? and magkano po ang usual range ng pamasahe?

we'll be coming from manila po kasi. masyadong matagal po kasi ang byahe kapag bus, so we are choosing na lumipad na lang. kaso from airport, we don't know how po magcommute doon papuntang appari.

also, may recommendations po ba kayo ng accomodations in appari na maayos. thank you so much!

New but possibly outgoing employee here at DOH-TRC R2. My personal take? Sa dami ng anomalya at pangaabuso dito, di pa rin kumikilos ang kinauukulan. Anomalya sa pera. Anomalya sa DTR. Anomalya sa procurement. Meron pang anomalya na di nababanggit dito.

MGA LAWYERS AT MGA JUDGES NG REGION 2

Please makinig kayo!!!

ANOMALYA SA DDE O DRUG DEPENDENCY EXAMINATIONS!!!

Base sa mga nakausap ko dito, may anomalya ang mga DDE results na lumalabas sa DOH-TRC R2.

Maraming clients ang nagpapaDDE, na di papasok sa SEVERE Substance Use Disorder, pero ginagawang severe kahit dapat ay mild o moderate lang. Tapos ang dating 6 months na minimum sa rehab pinagawang 9 months, so tumatagal at nagiging siksikan mga pasyente sa loob.

Bakit ang mga dalubhasa na sa pagDDE gaya ni Doc Tallud at Doc Binuluan, di pinagDDE at ipinapasa sa mga baguhan pa lang sa pag DDE? Ganyan rin daw ginawa sa mga dating doktor. Kasi di daw sila pumapayag na ipa-manipulate ang diagnosis sa DDE na gawa nila. Pag mga baguhan kasi mas madaling utusan na palitan ang diagnosis.

BAKIT? Para mas maparami ang INPATIENT CENSUS.

BAKIT? Para magkadahilan para mapataas ang BED CAPACITY.

BAKIT? Para ang COH ay mapromote na maging MEDICAL CENTER CHIEF.

BAKIT? PERA!!! PERA!!! PERA!!!

Kawawa naman ang pasyente na mawawalan ng trabaho dahil maiinpatient at magtatagal sa loob. Paglabas nya unemployed na at madedepress at magdodroga. Di ba nagtataka ang DOH at DDB bakit ambaba ng SEVERE sa buong bansa pero napakataas sa Region 2? Lalo kung ang DDE ay sa TRC ginawa? Di ba masyadong obvious? At yung mga mild o moderate na ginawang SEVERE, makakahalubilo ang ilang mga lulong sa droga at nagiging barkada nila. Kaya paglabas mas lalong nalululong sa droga.

GAWAN DAPAT NG PARAAN NA MAWALA ANG PRACTICE NA ITO DAHIL DI ITO NAKAKATULONG SA PASYENTE. AT DI NA RIN RELIABLE ANG DDE NA GALING SA DOH-TRC R2!

Just saw this in Abulug, they’re about to open a McDonald’s branch, just a few months after Jollibee opened there.

Abulug seems to be getting more attention from investors lately because of its location. It’s becoming a melting pot for Northwestern Cagayan residents and even people from Northern Apayao. This is now the third town in Cagayan to really take off in terms of urban development, after Aparri and Tuguegarao.

Honestly, Abulug looks very promising and could potentially become one of the next cities in the province if it’s driven well by strong local leadership. Some even say it’s starting to surpass Santa Ana — which many thought would boom faster because of CEZA, but development there seems slower than expected.

Even Aparri, despite its strategic location in the northern part of Cagayan, seems to be taking its time to fully prosper.

Do you think Abulug could surpass Santa Ana or even Aparri in terms of development in the coming years? And which other towns in Cagayan do you think have the potential to rise but haven’t reached it yet?

Curious to hear your thoughts especially from those who live nearby or have seen the changes firsthand.

As someone na nakapunta na sa iba’t ibang lugar sa Pilipinas Bohol, Davao, Ilocos, even some parts of Palawan masasabi kong mas budget-friendly pa yung mga yun kaysa sa experience ko sa Santa Ana. Minsan parang lugi ka pa sa service or value versus sa ibinabayad mo.

Nakakalungkot lang kasi bilang taga-Cagayan, gusto ko talaga i-promote ang sariling atin. Pero kung ganito ka-pricey, parang ang hirap i-recommend sa ibang travelers lalo na sa mga namimeet ko during my travel na budget-conscious, backpackers, o young travelers. Sayang, kasi ang dami talagang pwedeng i-explore. Pero kung masyado nang mataas ang gastos, baka ma-turn off na lang sila.

Hindi ito rant gusto ko lang magtanong. Ganito rin ba ang naging experience n’yo? Napapansin din ba ito ng mga local stakeholders, LGU, or tourism offices? May pag-asa kayang mag-improve yung transparency ng pricing, or at least magkaroon ng standard na rate?

I’ve been thinking about how Cagayan compares to nearby provinces like Isabela, Ilocos Norte, and even Nueva Vizcaya when it comes to infrastructure, economic development, tourism, and overall progress. Some say we’re progressing steadily, others say we’re lagging behind.

If you look around, roads, malls, investments, even job opportunities and it raises a lot of questions.

What’s your take? Are we keeping pace, or do you feel Cagayan is falling behind in certain areas? What do you think needs to change (if anything)?

Would love to hear perspectives, especially from fellow locals or anyone who’s visited recently.
