Should I assigned a day for tag day? Nah, I don’t think so, I seldom been tagged now that my blog is a PR0 since I’ve moved to a new domain. I’m honored that I’ve been tagged, it doesn’t matter if I still have unfinished articles. Its very easy to tag any blogger you want. The problem to tagging is when the blogger you tagged didn’t do what he/she supposed to do. Snob? No. Maybe, tagging is not his/her cup of tea. Or something else… *wink* But honestly, it didn’t felt nice. I’ve experienced this many times, sometimes I don’t wanna do meme anymore. On the contrary, its good karma, sharing the love through linking. Call it linklove as many bloggers call it.

The typhoid outbreak in six barangays of Calamba, Laguna had worsened, victims have increased from 241 to 500 persons. I’ve watched the news last night, JP Rizal Memorial Hospital (provincial hospital) had set up tents at the hospital grounds to accomodate the increasing number of patients. Some patients are confined at the nearby town hospitals.
Update: The local government of Calamba, Laguna declared state of calamity as of March 6, 2008 because of the typhoid fever outbreak.
What bothers me now is the report that the water in Calamba, Laguna had passed the water bacteriology test. The ancestral home of my Aunt is there, if I remember it right, their water there is nawasa. The town folks of Calamba and DOH (Department of Health) cannot think of possible reason of the typhoid outbreak but the water in their area. If its not the water, where did the outbreak came from? Laguna is a nearby province which we frequently visits during summer season. Although, we used to buy mineral water when we are out of town, this is alarming.
