Mga giya sa pag-biyahe og luwas karong bakasyon

Karong Semana Santa ug summer season, gipaabot nga daghang mga Pinoy ang mobakasyon sa ubang lugar.  

Sa infographic nga gipagawas gikan sa Philippine National Police (PNP) Police Community Relations Group, subli nilang gipahinumdoman ang mga motorista sa BLOWBAG checklist sa dili pa mobiyahe.

Battery: Alisdan ang baterya sa sakyanan matag ikaduhang tuig.

Light: Siguradohong mo-gana og maayo ang headlights, brake lights, signal light ug emergency light.

Oil: Magpa-change oil bisan usa  ka semana sa dili pa ang gitakdang biyahe. Mas maayong magdala og extra nga oil basin kalit kining kinahanglanon.

Water: Susihon ang water level ug tulo sa radiator. Mas maayong magdala usab og reserbang tubig sa biyahe basin kinahanglanon kini.

Brake: Ipasusi sa eksperto ang preno, ang brake pad ug fluid level. Mas maayo usab kung adunay extrang botelya sa brake fluid sa sakyanan basin kalit kining kinahanglanon.

Air: Gamit og tire air pressure gauge o ipasusi sa eksperto ang ligid. Ang dalang spare tire, mas maayong ipasusi usab ug siguradohong walay buslot o hungaw sa mga ligid.

Gas: Susiha kun mogana ang fuel gauge sa sakyanan. Kun kinahanglan nang magpakarga og gas, himuon na kini ug dili na mamasin nga sa sunod na nga gas station magpakarga. Magpa-gasolina na sa sakyanan sa dili pa mobiyahe. (ni Elvie Bongosia/PIA-Bohol)

HALF DAY work tomorrow in some offices; but on call for typhoon Chedeng

Some government offices may not report for work in the afternoon tomorrow April 1 Wednesday, however a skeletal force is on duty for typhoon watch.

In observance to the Holy Week commemoration, some government offices are declaring half a day's work tomorrow.

The first to announce was the Cebu Provincial Government, according to Information Officer Ethel Natera.  The declaration is to give time for employees who are mostly travelling to their respective hometowns.

However Natera said, Cebu Governor Hilario Davide III, ordered a skeletal force, specially those in the Provincial Risk Reduction and Management Office, due to the incoming typhoone "Chedeng" (international name Maysak).

Chedeng, according to the latest weather bulletin is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility tomorrow night.

The City of Danao through Mayor Ramon Durano III, according to IO Ramonette Mahinay, also made a declaration for half day work.  However this does not include those that are in the front line services namely, City Veterinary Office, City Market Operations, City Social Welfare and Development Office, City Traffic, City Treasurers Office.  Regular employees rendering service are entitled to Compensatory Leave.

Bogo City IO Louise Jane Cabangal said, Mayor Celestino Martinez Jr also issued early morning today a half day work.  

"Should there be a need for an office to operate, a skeletal force, if it will suffice, may embody their office," according to the Memo of Mayor Martinez.

On the other hand the Supreme Court of the Philippines posted on its Twitter Account that all court employees nationwide will also be enjoying half day off.

Other government offices may follow such declarations despite the absence of a declaration from the Office of the President provided that essential services are not jeopardized.
