We are proud to have a Pakilenas with chivalrous accomplishment that will uplift Pakil's pride. Having best swimmers in the circle of Laguna's municipalities and step to the ladder  of bounds outside Laguna is great. May we can surpass the boundary to be having on international competition. Congrats!

Ano nga ba ang ibig kong sabihin an ibalik ang mga orihinal na bagay sa Pakil? Kung itatanong ninyo sa mga matatandang taga-Pakil marami silang maikukwento sa inyo. Katulad na lang ng "PINAIS". ito ay giniling na hipon at ginawang parang bibingka. E kung pangangalagaan natin ang resiping ito, maaaring magamit ito ng mga taga-pakil bilang isang imahe ng bayan. Ang inig kong sabihin ay maraming turista sa Pilipinas na ang hanap ay pagkain. Katulad sa Antipolo ay "suman" gayon din sa "Bohol". Kung tutuusin ang iba ay pumupunta at dumarayo sa Los Banos para sa Buko Pie. halimbawang sabihin nating malayo. Alam nyo ba na kung nasa Bagiuo kayo, ang iba ay pumupunta pa sa Benguet para bumili ng strawberry. E kung ang turista ay nasa Pagsanjan e di ilang minuto lang nasa Pakil na para dayuhin ang mga orhinal na pagkain dito. ANO PA BA ANG MGA ORHINAL NA PAGKAIN NG PAKIL? Pilipit - malagkit na bigas na korteng pilipit and ipinirito sa mantika. Pinais - ginili...

Flood in Pakil is not new which during 1970-85 water from the mountain goes down to the low down area of Pakil flooding the Plaza Adonay and streets of Tavera, Gonzales, Bano, Burgos and Rizal. So the town official created an artificial river across the low area of the mountain preventing water from going down in the streets of Pakil. Not only water was going down the municipal town but also it contains mud which makes it hard for people to clean up the mesh after the event. Municipal official also created called "bambang" which several of them were built on the main town. The effects of today's flooding is cause by silted Laguna Bay that do not absorbed heavy rains and the Pampanga River water spilled. Besides the big dams of Luzon also made the problem worse. If repeated, the event is the hardest problem that the municipal official can resolve. They might lean on the national government to solve this problem. However, it should be consulted to some experts who can...

Turumba is actually Kidlat´s first film. It focuses on one family's traditional occupation of making papier-mâché animals for the Turumba religious festival in a Filipino village. Everything changes when a German agent buys all their stock and orders more for the Oktoberfest celebration in Germany; soon the family's seasonal occupation becomes a year-round routine of alienated labour. Eventually the whole village is converted into a jungle assembly line to produce papier-mâché mascots for the Munich Olympics. With the intrusion of electric fans, TV sets, Beatle records, and the compulsion of work schedule, the traditional rhythm of family and village life is irretrievably broken. Success for the family coincides with the emergence of a local proletariat whose innocence is ironically shrouded by the turbulent storm, emblematic of the revolt of nature, that overtakes the whole village. Is this the judgment of a subliminal conscience, or the ironic comment of a sa...
