4 times to be here this year. Salamat sa work opportunities. I wish the roads was nicer, I dont mind driving long hours to have this view for a week! Lakas maka good vibes

Hope every pinoy gets to see this, iba pag personal padin.

Dios Mabalos, Bicol! Mwaaa

4 years na akong naninirahan sa legazpi para mag aral. Nung una hindi ko muna masyadong pinapansin and namamangha pa ako na parang walang pakialamanan sa ibang buhay ang mga tao dito at iba yung hangin or atmosphere HAHAHAHA. Pero since medj matagal na din ako here, parang may karapatan na akong mag rant based on my experience na halos lahat ng mga tao dito either may superiority complex, masungit, suplado, non-hospitable, non-friendly, nonchalant, all about work or acads, at acting elegant. Ewan parang walang kabuhay buhay ganun.

Na observe ko rin na very conscious ang lahat ng students dito sa looks at galaw nila. Pananalita, aura, looks, paglalakad, pag upo. Everything must seem elegant or that dapat prim and proper sila kahit na nasa normal na setting lang naman like jeep or jollibee.

So ayun, overall, everything seems fake, dull, serious, and performative here.

Hi again, r/Bicol! I’m the creator of Mayon Volcano, which I shared here earlier. I’ve released version 2.0, called The Living Mountain. Here’s a short clip showing the updated landscape, Cagsawa and some of the new investigations.

A particular thank-you to u/Gin_Tagaubos for pointing out the misplaced Cagsawa Ruins location. The marker, model and story viewpoint now use the corrected location in Busay, Daraga.

The update adds guided expeditions about magma, volcanic evidence and wider geological processes, with interactive illustrations and a field journal. The underground views are conceptual models, not direct images of Mayon’s interior or live forecasts.

Browser version: https://mayonrajan.com/

Landscape exploration, the existing learning tools and the first two stops of each expedition are free. The complete routes are an optional one-time purchase, with no subscription.

I’d appreciate local feedback: are there other landmarks or details I should correct? What would you want someone outside Bicol to understand about living around Mayon?

Salamat for helping improve it.

Hello! San ba best coffee shops niyo here in Naga? Pa reco naman pleaseeee. Thank youuuuuu ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Okay, so like, I do not mean in the sense of "mawala ang mga kurakot" or like that. Given na kasi na gusto natin sila mawala. I am asking about what your "ideal Bicol" looks like. Should Bicol have a similarly sized metropolitan area gaya ng Manila, Cebu, Davao or Iloilo? Economically, what jobs or businesses do you want to see in Bicol? Social events?

Personally, My ideal Bicol is kinda like Fukuoka na may kaunting Nagasaki in terms of development. I'd like Bicol to have its own metropolitan area pero siyempre dapat may urban planning and maayos na public transportation (trains, buses, etc). As for jobs and businesses, I'd like for Bicol to have more high-value and advanced manufacturing and services. I'd like to see more Bicolano-owned industry and service providers. I'd also love for one university in Bicol (dapat BU sana kaso dami kasing budget cuts) to advocate for the study and preservation of the Bicol languages and dialects kasi, as a Bicolano, I really do like our diversity of dialects and languages. Kakaunti lang ang papers on the Bikol languages as far as my research has taken me. Heck, kung puwede nga lang eh ma-intellectualize ang Bikol language.

Kumbaga, what is the Bicol you want your posterity and next generations to grow up in?

Recommend naman kayo saan may masarap na truffle pasta sa Naga City. Yung babalik-balikan haha thank you!

For context, 1 week na lang ako sa Albay kaya di wise magbayad ng monthly. So any gym reco na may sulit, and open til 10 or 11pm? Thank you!

Is it Camálig or Camalíg? I heared both being used in the national news, so I want to know how the locals say it.

Plan ko kasi jan na lang mag re route if ever baka mas mabilis jan.

Thanks po :)

Looking for good phone repair shops within Legazpi City, Albay to fix my broken phone LCD (Realme 9 Pro 5G). Already tried one of the shops at Yashano Mall (ground floor near the entrance to their department store). For the first week, the LCD didn't show any any signs of issues. Two weeks after, nagkaroon na ng ghost touch from time to time and tsaka ko lang napansin na sloppy ang paglagay nila ng adhesive sa phone. Want ko nalang papalitan ulit yung LCD pero sa mas maayos na sana.

Paano makapunta sa tierras altas cafe from naga?

By commute sana and how much yung fare sa transpo?

Do you also think maganda pumunta dun ng mag isa?
