I was a school kid when I used to save my one peso for snack to watch the nightly show on betamax. I love Jacky Chan and Bruce Lee movies. Electricity during those days scarce, it starts at 6 in the afternoon and stops at 9 in the evening. After nine everything’s back to 17-century manila. We used to have candles, lampara and lamparella. All we can do is look for the bed and sleep.
Time changed and Libjo really change. Now most of our homes have TV sets cable ready since we already have cable in town. Electricity now starts 1 in the afternoon and ends at 7 am the next morning. There are lots of things you can do now.
By boat, Surigao before takes us 4 to 5 hours to cross and can only do one-way a day. Now you can go to Surigao and be back the afternoon the same day.
Back then we send our communication in telegram. We depend on telegraphic transfer for our tuition. Cell phones is now In and Cebu and Manila is just text away. And with Internet connection in Libjo the world is getting and getting much smaller. Libjo soon will be one of the few places in Surigao with strong online presence like Mainit Mainit.Org and Pidjanga of Mainit, Surigao City SurigaoIslands.com and General Luna (GL) Patricks .

With electricity the libjo-anons should spend their night time now on family planning instead of family planting.
