Seems it was a good Reforestation day, with about 15,000 volunteers showing up.

..Telespazio delivered similar equipment to Costa Rica for $4.7 million and Paraguay for $3 million that it sold to Panama for $22 million.
The level of greed is disgusting.

straw berries are all over downtown at the moment

No exclusions on the tipping law that I'm aware of.
Maybe its a Service Charge.

Most communications from the government seem to come after the fact in the form of photo-ops.
The President was in Chiriqui with a vigorous schedule for two days but looking back at his Twitter feed I don't see any advance notice posted. This press release was issued on Thursday, the day he arrived.
Some of the other projects the President inspected on this visit were the Hospital in Bugaba, the Kenny Serracin stadium in David, a new bridge over the Rio Esti near Gualaca, and the highway to Puerto Armuelles.
He was on the local Radio Chiriqui station Thursday evening.

Today is the 2nd annual Gran Dia de Reforestacion in Panama.
In Chiriqui, teams will be planting along the banks of the Rio Chiriqui near Gualaca and also near Volcan

The water and sewage project was also visited today by the President and his team along with Alcalde Walker.
-
The President inspected the rehabilitation project at the Escuela Josefa Montero de Vásquez in Bajo Boquete today with the Alcalde.
-
President Varela was in town today and showed off the design for the new Panamonte bridge over the Rio Caldera with Mayor Walker and local residents.

Panama City is relatively close, imo. I leave the house in Alto at 7:00 a.m. and arrive there in Albrook at 9:00 a.m. or very shortly thereafter for about $60.
The weather in the city looked good this morning so I drove back. From downtown P.C. to Rey in David ...six hours. No cruise control or tickets.
The highway expansion is far from finished.

I was told some time ago that Airbox is the least expensive for heavy inbound shipments, which come by boat. You might want to check with them if you're not in a hurry.
Another alternative for very large or heavy items is to consolidate with Riba Smith and ship out of Florida via DELVI Logistics.
They will clear your goods and forward them to Boquete via Fletes Chavales.
Rates are listed for both Air and Sea options. http://www.ribasmith.com/rimith/images/pdfs/Form-New-Address.pdf

Have not experienced any problems with either MBE or E-Shop and I use their services frequently. Both have excellent customer service, imo.

In spite of the recent problem eShop (and the other shippers apparently too) has had with customs holding up packages, I have always received packages from them in a timely manner. Also they don't require a monthly fee with an added expense if the package is over the weight limit, as MBE does.
It is not necessary to have a Box or account with monthly fees at MBE in order to use their services. I pay by the piece and have done so since they opened.

One of the problems with the various Rescue Adopt folks here seems to be a lack of coordination between the players.
'brought 12 rescued cats from the street in Panama City' ..gee, I sure hope they're all neutered or spayed.

If a person can take a note or a photo of a Placa number, I can help in any of these cases where a vehicle is involved.

Amazing how stories get stretched out of shape. At no time was the President 'detained', as is suggested here.
A number of local reporters who were actually on site stated that some protesters threw stones and the signing was moved to the local school. Four policemen suffered minor injuries and offenders claim they were beaten afterwards.
"President Juan Carlos Varela was detained after he was about to give a public speech praising a recent deal with some Indigenous leaders to resume construction. Opponents of that agreement threw stones at police cars, injuring four officers, reported local media."

It's interesting to note that only one person ever seemed to be looking for this fellow.

PJ, the President of Panama is the leader of a sovereign nation, even if it's a small one. I suppose it depends on how you define power, but in my opinion, the governor of a state in the U.S. isn't even on the same playing field.
It's not unusual to see politicians or Ministers of the government at regional Airports, in the lounge, or on the plane. Sometimes I greet them with a "buenos dias Ministro".
Mireya Moscoso lives in Pedasi but comes here almost every week to manage her farm. I have seen her at Banco General.

"A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece" Ludwig Erhard
As hard as the government has tried, I'm not sure that we will ever see a resolution to this situation that will please everybody.
A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece.

Our national Diputada, Athenas Athanadasias, is working on a legislative project to establish tougher punishment for minors, maintaining the commitment to do so which she made during a public meeting last November.
2nd Great National Day of Reforestation - 80,000 Trees to be Planted
in Deforestation, Reforestation, Timber, Logging Operations, etc.

Perhaps that number is an average, calculated using the 195 years since the founding of Panama, and isn't necessarily the current rate.
There is a lot of information about this program and other environmental issues at this site. http://www.miambiente.gob.pa/index.php/2013-02-20-08-59-23/noticias/noticias-de-portada/796-ii-gran-dia-nacional-de-reforestacion
The stated goal is to reforest is a million hectares in 20 years.
