Aibonito, Puerto Rico
Aibonito () is a small mountain town and municipality in Puerto Rico located in the Sierra de Cayey mountain range, north of Salinas; south of Barranquitas and Comerío; east of Coamo; and west of Cidra, and Cayey. Aibonito is spread over 8 ''barrios'' and Aibonito Pueblo (the downtown area and the administrative center of the city). It is part of the San Juan-Caguas-Guaynabo Metropolitan Statistical Area. Aibonito is located at a relatively high elevation (its main square is the highest in the island at 2,401 ft 31 mabove sea level), which makes its climate cooler than most of Puerto Rico's towns. Etymology and nicknames There are several theories and stories regarding the name of the town. Some people say that it is derived from the Taíno word ''Jatibonicu'', which was the name of a legendary cacique (chief) of the area, but most likely was the name of the tribe lead by chief Orocobix. The name ''Aibonito'' is possibly a combination of Spanish and Taíno from '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Puerto Rican Citizenship
Puerto Rico is an island in the Caribbean region in which inhabitants were Spanish nationals from 1508 until the Spanish-American War in 1898, from which point they derived their nationality from United States law. Nationality is the legal means in which inhabitants acquire formal membership in a nation without regard to its governance type. In addition to being United States nationals, people born in Puerto Rico are both citizens of the United States and citizens of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Citizenship is the relationship between the government and the governed, the rights and obligations that each owes the other, once one has become a member of a nation. Though the Constitution of the United States recognizes both national and state citizenship as a means of accessing rights, Puerto Rico's history as a territory has created both confusion over the status of its nationals and citizens and controversy because of distinctions between jurisdictions of the United States.

American Citizen
Citizenship of the United States is a legal status that entails Americans with specific rights, duties, protections, and benefits in the United States. It serves as a foundation of fundamental rights derived from and protected by the Constitution and laws of the United States, such as freedom of expression, due process, the rights to vote (however, not all citizens have the right to vote in all federal elections, for example, those living in Puerto Rico), live and work in the United States, and to receive federal assistance. There are two primary sources of citizenship: birthright citizenship, in which persons born within the territorial limits of the United States are presumed to be a citizen, or—providing certain other requirements are met—born abroad to a United States citizen parent, and naturalization, a process in which an eligible legal immigrant applies for citizenship and is accepted. The first of these two pathways to citizenship is specified in the Citizenship ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
BONZZO (comic Strip)
BONZZO The Comic Strip is a comic strip created by John Rivas. History About BONZZO Rivas describes "BONZZO" as a young likable adult facing life with a child's mentality. His comic strip represents our daily lives, as well as reminds us of ideas, happy events and how we filtered each moment in our lives. “Bonzzo comes from a character I had to promote my advertising agency. The concept went from there, until I took it to the graphic stage of a comic strip. Fernando Roque helped me with the illustrations”, Rivas said. Since then, Bonzzo went from an inanimate object, to a comic strip published by the main island newspapers, since 1998. “When I created it, I did not name it. So I put all of the letters from the alphabet in a bag, and I took letters out until the name Bonzzo was complete”, he said. BONZZO was first published in 1998 in two of the four leading newspapers in Puerto Rico, El Mundo (Puerto Rico), El Mundo and El Vocero (there are no syndicates in Puerto Rico) ...
