OBITUARY: 

Till death do us part...This was the last picture of my late Ate Priscilla “Precy” Ostonal-Taboada and my late brother- law, Carlos “Caloy” Taboada. They passed away 10 days apart. Bayaw Caloy died on October 18, 2020 and our Ate, on October 28, 2020. They were high school classmates who graduated at the same time in 1963. And they were sweethearts too! They could have celebrated their golden wedding anniversary by year 2022. Mysteriously leaving this world together was the culmination of what true love means: “Till death do us part”. – Percy Ostonal

The LGU may issue municipal bonds to raise funds for infrastructure, roads, airports, public markets, schools, new basketball courts, fish port, sewer canal expansion, job-making projects, and so on. When a citizen of Mambulao buys an MB, he or she is loaning money to the LGU in exchange for a set number of interest payments over a predetermined period. At the end of that period, the bond reaches its maturity date and the full amount in the bondholder’s original investment is returned to him plus interest income.
