WALKING WITH THE PRESIDENT. Sorsogon Gov. Joseph C. Cua (right) and DOTC Sec. Leandro Mendoza flanks Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo at Bulan Port in Sorsogon for the inauguration of the Central Nautical Highway.

LIKE A HIGHWAY TO NOWHERE, a newly-assembled fishing net glistens on a beach in Virac as marginal fishermen prepare to catch their families’ meals for the day.

SERIOUS FACES ABOUND Sorsogon in this photo of the inauguration of the 2nd RORO Caravan Route in Bulan Sorsogon as PGMA, DOTC Sec. Leandro Mendoza, Sorsogon 2nd District Rep. Jose Solis and Catanduanes Gov. Joseph Cua pose for the cameras.

MILITARY CHECKPOINTS alleged blocked activists from other towns from joining this Labor Day march and protest rally held in the capital town of Virac on May 1, while other citizen groups, mostly alumni of local schools, flocked to the beaches for their grand reunions.

TOO MUCH POLITICS? Supporters of Bato Mayor Leo Rodriguez are amused that his opponents in the Sangguniang Bayan, particularly Councilors Abing Rodulfo and Beato Taniajura (in photo), are trying to get media mileage out of the takeover issue that arose recently. Here, the two councilors consult with the DILG on the matter.

A MEETING OF MINDS ON TECH-VOC ISSUES is the purpose of the recent visit of TESDA Regional Director Conrado Bares, shown here with school heads and representatives at the Catanduanes Colleges.

A TESTAMENT TO PNRC COMMITMENT. Thus, PNRC Gov. Mario Nery (right), shown here cutting the ribbon with PBM Ariel Molina (left), describes the completion of the renovated PNRC Catanduanes chapter building, the biggest in Southern Luzon, which was inaugurated last April 25.

PHOTOJOURNALISM TECHNIQUES were learned by this group of 33 participants in last week’s one-day workshop conducted by Inquirer photographer Niño Jesus Orbeta and sponsored by the Tribune, Rep. Joseph Santiago, Gov. Joseph Cua and Marem’s Pension House.
