DAVAO CITY — A bomb exploded in Shariff Aguak, a town in Maguindanao, yesterday, June 23, the day President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo was supposed to set foot on Mindanao.
The president was scheduled to arrive in this city and travel to some parts of the Southern Mindanao region on Friday but the trip was canceled after she was rushed to the hospital for severe diarrhea.

DAVAO CITY — This seems like a no-brainer but it?s worth mentioning: When you travel cross-country make sure to bring an ice-filled cooler, even the ordinary Styrofoam ice chest fish vendors use. You?ll regret not bringing one, trust me.
It?s not because you can?t find ice-cold soft drinks or bottled water along the way. You can easily get these from convenience stores or eateries in cities and towns that you pass by.
The thing, however, is that, many of the nicest spots that you can enjoy while traveling by land from Mindanao to Luzon are in areas where there are usually no convenience stores or filling stations.
