Good evening Bacolod!!!
Bing seeking reduction
of airfare for MassKara
BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO

The Bacolod City government is negotiating with Philippine Airlines for a package that will charge reduced plane fares to make the MassKara Festival in Bacolod City more attractive and encourage local and foreign tourists to come to the city, Bacolod Mayor Evelio Leonardia said yesterday.

Although the fiesta of Bacolod falls on January, the advantage of holding the MassKara Festival in October is that it is not a peak season for tourists in the airline industry, he said. It is also meaningful because it takes place during the charter anniversary of the city, he added.

Leonardia said January is overcrowded with tourism events like the Dinagyang, Sinulog, Ati-Atihan, among others.

Since October does not happen to be a peak season, chances are good that air fares will be lower, he said.

So they have made initial contacts with the president of PAL since they are negotiating with them for a package that will lower the plane fares to make the MassKara program more attractive and travel to Bacolod more affordable, he added.

Leonardia said he considers the MassKara Festival with all its color, pageantry and popularity, asreunion time for Bacoleños.

In the past there wasthat impression of a divide between rich and poor, young and old in our society. But whenever we hold the MassKara Festival, we come together as one,” he said. In essence, the MassKara Festival is a reuniting activity, he added.

Leonardia said that during the launching of the Balik Bacolod, he told the Bacoleños in America that “Home is where the heart is”, since they know that their hearts are still in Bacolod even if they are miles away from home.

The Balik Bacolod group also invited those who are not from Bacolod but who are friends of the Bacoleños to visit the city because part of the Balik Bacolod Program is the call to “Bring Home a Friend,” he said.

He added that theyalso contactedthe “Negrosanons sa Guam” group to invite them to visit Bacolod.*CGS

Riverside launches
new ICU complex

The Dr. Pablo O. Torre Memorial Hospital in Bacolod City opened yesterday its new intensive care unit designed after hospital standards in the United States, with 11 suite rooms for patients.

Mark Torre, strategic corporate officer of the hospital, said the ICU facilities comply with the requirements for tertiary level hospitals and with the standards of the Department of Health.

Architect Filoteo Jacinto said the ventilation system of ICU is designed as an all-fresh-air system where air enters one point and exits from another.

It means there is no “recirculation of air” and this prevents the transfer of odor and bacteria from one area to another, he added.

He said it has a “centralized uninterruptible power supply” system serving all medical equipment and it is installed with critical lighting in case of power outages during a procedure. The UPS systems allow them to deliver a reliable, safe, and powerful source of electricity, especially during brownouts, he added.

All patient rooms are installed with, centralized oxygen and medical gases system, and centralized patient monitoring system that allows nurses on duty to perform cardiac rate, respiratory rhythm, and temperature checks even if they are at the nurses’ station, Aiber Arela, ICU head nurse, said.

Arlene Ledesma, chief executive officer and president, said the ICU is equipped with advanced apparatus but assures an affordability that will only require the patient to stay in the ICU when necessary. They have also offered a preferred discount card that entitles a patient to a 10 percent reduction on dues, she said.

The ICU also provides visitors’ and doctors’ lounge areas, conference rooms, nurses’ call room, and students’ room. It also has anti-static and anti-bacterial flooring, individual fire sprinkler, and paging system, Filoteo said. *LTG

City told to evict squatters from road to Capitol property
By Teresa Ellera-Dulla
Tuesday, May 24, 2011

PROVINCIAL Legal Officer Jose Maria Valencia asked the City Government of Bacolod to clear the squatters occupying the concrete roads going to the Capitol’s property in Barangay 39 where the Negros Occidental Teacher’s Federation (NOTF) will temporarily relocate.

“The squatters have erected houses in the middle of the road, making it unpassable to vehicles”, Valencia pointed out.

He said he already referred the matter to Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus Sayson and the City Legal Officer who assured him that they will act on the matter, provided the Provincial Government has to make a formal written request.

There are about 20 illegal structures in the middle of the road, Valencia said.

Valencia added the road clearing is imperative because NOTF has already started to demolish its building at the Paglaum Sports Complex.

It needs to transport some of the salvageable materials from its Paglaum building to its relocation site near some government offices in Barangay 39.

He added they are now working on all the documents needed for the donation of the 1,000 square meter lot of the Provincial Government to NOTF.

Meanwhile, Valencia stated that the Capitol expects that the Paglaum Sports Complex will be cleared from all squatters by the end of this month.

The Provincial Government will build a P300 million three-storey Commercial Hub at the Paglaum Sports Complex that will house a call center facility, dormitory and commercial establishments.

Fuel depots to solve high prices
By Teresa Ellera-Dulla
Tuesday, May 24, 2011

NEGROS Occidental Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. said the construction of three separate fuel depots of the small players in the oil industry would definitely lessen the prices of petroleum products here.

Marañon Jr. lauded the investors who signified their intentions to construct three separate fuel depots at the Reclamation area of the Bacolod Real Estate Development Corporation (Bredco).

The three small oil companies - Phoenix Petroleum Philippines Inc., PhilOil, SeaOil - wanted to build their own depots so that they can pass on to their consumers the reduction of prices of petroleum products in the province once the depots become operational.

“This will be the answer to the higher prices of fuels here than in other provinces. The more gasoline stations, the better services that we can have,” Marañon pointed out.

Once the depots become operational, Maranon sees a P3 per liter reduction of fuel prices in the province because oil companies would have lesser overhead expenses.

With their own depots here, the small oil players can bring direct to the province the petroleum products which their import from Singapore and Taiwan without passing through the depots of the big oil players in Manila.

Frank Carbon, president of the Metro Bacolod Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MBCCI) earlier confirmed that Phoenix Petroleum Philippines, Inc. is now constructing its depot at a one-hectare lot at the reclamation area. The depot is expected to be completed in November this year.

Aside from Phoenix, Carbon also confirmed that PhilOil already purchased a half-hectare lot at the reclamation area where it intends to build its depot within the year.

Another small oil player, SeaOil, is reportedly negotiating for the purchase of 7,000 square meter lot at the reclamation area also for a depot.

The three companies are reportedly eyeing depots with a capacity of 5 million liters each.

Maika de Oro wins girl’s discus throw
By Jerome S. Galunan Jr.
Tuesday, May 24, 2011
http://www.sunstar.com.ph/sites/default/files/images/image/bacolod-maika-de-oro.jpg?1306201023
NEGRENSE pride and Palarong Pambansa record breaker Maika de Oro stamped her class to win the girl’s discus throw event in the ongoing POC-PSC Philippine National Games 2011 played at the Panaad Park Stadium, Brgy. Mansilingan in Bacolod City.

The 16-year-old de Oro, a consistent thrower in her favorite event during her elementary and secondary days, hurled the iron cast plate to a distance of 37.36 meters on her second throw.

It was 3 meters shy from her Palarong Pambansa record of 40.25 meters, which she established recently in Dapitan City.

De La Salle University–Manila mainstay Twinkle Masilangan settled for silver after throwing 31.73 meters, as 18-year-old Fil-Danish Florence Tepstra of Silliman University took the bronze with 30.81 meters.

On the other hand, national team member and Bago City native Rosie Villarito ruled the women’s shot put with 11.26 meters. Monalisa Mendez settled for silver with 10.23 meters while Hanna Erika Sia bagged the bronze with 9.65 meters.

National team dominates athletics

As expected, national athletes dominated early the track and field action at the Panaad Park and Stadium.

Aside from Villarito, national team mainstays Joan Banayag and Narcisa Atienza both ruled their respective women’s events in lopsided fashion in athletics.

Opening the nationals’ drive at daybreak was marathon specialist Banayag, who stamped her class in the women’s 10,000-meter run in 37 minutes and 44.30 seconds, besting 2009 Milo marathon queen Aileen Tolentino (40:59), while Cerila Cortel (41.42.9) settled for the bronze.

“I’m glad to be back with the national team. Sana tuloy-tuloy na ito,” said the 28-year-old Compostela native, who was banned by the Philippine Amateur Track and Field Association (PATAFA) last year for competing in the Camarines Sur International Marathon when she was being primed for the Guangzhou Asian Games.

On her part, Atienza, who now competes full-time in the heptathlon, won the high jump in 1.75 meters, failing in her bid to break her own national mark of 1.81 after bombing out thrice at the 1.82-meter height.

“Gusto ko talagang ma-break yong record kong 1.81,” said Atienza of her six-year-old standard. “Pero madulas yong runway at saka yong take-off medyo ni-retoke lang.”

Dragon boat

Disaster struck the national squad in the 20-men men’s 500-meter dragon boat race held at the Bantayan River in Bago City last Monday when it got disqualified after steersman Arnold Laureno fell off from the boat after it collided with Boracay Guardian.

Racing in the middle lane and trying to overtake both Boracay and Navy-Marine, the third entry in the heat, the nationals’ boat swerved into the path of the Boracay rowers because of the strong current, causing the collision that dislodged team rookie Laureno from his perch on the back of the boat.

While the nationals, some of whom were members of the team that won a gold in the World Champiohnships in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 2009, still finished the race ahead, the absence of Laureno resulted in their disqualification, based on international dragon boat rules.

“You have to complete the race with a full 22-man complement (including the drummer) in crossing the finish line, so even though the national team finished the race, it was still disqualified,” said Philippine Canoe-Kayak Federation secretary general Jonie Go.

The national rowers were back with a vengeance in topping their heat of the 10-man 500 meters in two minutes and 28.17 seconds at the expense of the Philippine Navy (2:30.72) and Boracay (2:31.63).

Cheerleading

In the cheerleading competitions held at the St. John Institute, multi-titled University of the Philippines (UP)-Diliman took all but one of the four gold medals up for grabs.

The charges of coach Lalaine Perena copped the group, partner stunts and mixed stunts events of the tournament organized by the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines. The victory earned them a ticket to the 6th World Cheerleading Championships set Nov. 26 to 27 in Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, Centro Escolar University (CEU) captured the gold in the all-female stunts category of the cheerleading contest witnessed by International Federation of Cheerleading secretary general Simon Grovers.

UP topped the event with three gold medals. CEU was second overall with one gold, two silvers and two bronzes, and Polytechnic University of the Philippines, the third squad in the tourney, took home three silvers and one bronze medal.

Story and photos by Rick Olivares

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-21vAbNyj2cI/Tds1nMd7jCI/AAAAAAAAOd8/wMeGq61XdGU/s640/IMG_2201.JPG

When the various football associations around the country get ready to compete in next year’s PFF Suzuki Under-23 National Cup, they might want to look at the Bacolod team’s blueprint for success. They arrived in shades, unsmiling at first then grinning with every recognized person in sight. They were very business-like. There was a sense of purpose to their stride. Were they not uniform in their tracksuits, they’d be mistaken for a battery of lawyers.

When they did smile, try if you can, to picture a shark smiling as it hurtles towards unsuspecting prey. That was how the coaching staff of the Negros Football Association appeared when they entered the Filomeno Cimafranca Field in Silliman University on the second day of the Visayas Regionals of the ongoing PFF Suzuki Under-23 National Cup.

Rome certainly wasn’t built in a day and so are champions.

It was the 23rd of April when Norman Fegidero Jr. of West Negros University, Ramon Janeo of the University of St. La Salle, and Carlo Torbela of the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos received word that they were taking part in the PFF Suzuki Under-23 National Cup. The problem was the tournament was already underway.

With five days before the Visayas Regionals of which they were automatically seeded into, the three college coaches together with Ali Go, coach of Dynamic Builders FC, asked, “Is that enough time to prepare?”

In years past, that answer would have been a resounding “no.” But now, the answer was a resounding “yes.”

When it comes to collegiate football in Negros Occidental, the three universities all enjoy a fierce and acrimonious rivalry. When a team representing the province was needed for a tournament, if the coach was from La Salle, the other two schools refused to lend their best players. And it was the same for the others.

Enter Ricky and Leo Rey Yanson. The brothers once played football for La Salle Bacolod during their high school years. Although they had hung up their boots, their love for the sport never waned. In spite of their many business ventures, they had previously managed the Bacolod Open Champion Team in 2006 and the runner-up in 2007. They also had two football fields constructed – the Villa Valderrama Field and the North Field in Talisay – with two more under way (one beside Robinson’s Place and the other at Barangay Bubog, Talisay).

The brothers brokered a deal for a unified Negros team under one coach. Of the four head coaches, it was Fegidero who held the highest coaching license. And the others deferred to the West Negros coach who also had a sterling record as a player and former national coach. “It is no problem on our part,” recounted Janeo. “Coach Nonoy has the credentials.”

Fegidero Jr. once played striker for WNU and later UNO-R after a brief stint in Manila playing for Ateneo-Swift and teaching in the Ateneo Football Center (he was recruited by the late Chris Monfort) in between. He once formed a strike partnership with former Rudy del Rosario who is now coach of the Philippine Homeless World Cup Team. The two with others like Adolfo Alicante and Elmer Bedia led the Philippines to a semifinals appearance in the football competition of the1991 Southeast Asian Games football held in Manila. Fegidero also coached the Azkals in the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup but immediately stepped down citing too much interference from PFF Management and others not involved with the team.

Since that time, he went back to West Negros where he has built up a solid and winning program with the Mustangs. Fegidero’s love for the game brooked no compromise. He insisted on team discipline and an adherence to finishing one’s studies. He wasn’t averse to tossing players out of the lineup. Or even from their captaincy as evidenced when he installed Emelio “Chieffy” Caligdong as team captain for the national squad in 2008 when he thought that Aly Borromeo wasn’t up to the task.

As for the players, Go added, “It wasn’t that hard because the players had represented the Western Visayas at one time or another. They just had to learn the system.”

An attacking 3-4-3 system was installed. “We are not sacrificing our defense,” said Fegidero. “We just want to score a lot of goals.”

When the team was at home, they were quartered in a building formerly owned by the Yansons where they would eat, sleep, and bond together. During the regionals, semifinals, and finals, they stayed in a hotel. Coaches were given specific duties that changed every now and they. The daily regimen from training to meals to rest was mapped out with Spartan efficiency.

John Robert Mendoza, Jose Emmanuel Diel, Jimmy Malaloan, Anton Tongson, J Baguioro, Ralph Layumas, Abelardo Solinas, and Aldrin Dolino were from La Salle while Lemuel Unabia, Janrick Soriano, Jake Morallo, Jovin Bedic, and Camelo Tacusalme were from West Negros. The contingent from UNO included Gino Palomo, Willy Mangubat, Jurex Replentes, and Michael Pacite.

“Mabilis kami nag-bond,” described Bedic of how quickly the team came together.

“Isa lang naman ang goal namin,” added Unabia, the 6’1” central back. “Yun ang championship.”

While most players were very familiar with one another, the wild card was Beloya.

During practice in Panaad Stadium one afternoon, the coaching staff saw him playing with some of his friends and they were immediately impressed with his skills. They asked him to tryout for the team and the coaches became utterly convinced that he would be a worthy addition to the squad.

However on the second day of practice, Beloya did not show up.

“I couldn’t walk,” recounted the Fil-Am out of Switzerland who had gone back to his mother’s hometown of Bacolod just a few weeks before that fateful meeting in Panaad. “My muscles hurt all over because I was out of shape.”

Beloya who was born in Olongapo but grew up in the United States and later in Switzerland where he once played for FC Zurich was talented “but we had to add some muscle to him,” said Janeo. “Meron siyang explosiveness. Kung na-train siya ng mabuti hindi natin alam kung ano pa ang kaya niyang gawin.”

Because of his unfamiliarity with his teammates there were some early misunderstandings. “Alam mo na,” Fil-Am kasi,” added Janeo. “Pero nung nakausap namin, he understood his role and his teammates.”

Beloya became the breakout star of the tournament. Off the bench in Bacolod’s first two matches, he was soon inserted in the starting lineup where he flourished even more. He showed great range, exceptional quickness, and an ability to finish in and around the goal. By the tournament’s end, he was named Best Striker as he amassed an astonishing 15 goals in nine matches and was considered as an MVP candidate (it ultimately went to Dolino).

Fegidero’s team romped through the competition and found themselves shut out of the scoring when they played Masbate to a scoreless draw in the group stages. They topped the Visayas Regionals and the Group Stages and beat Davao in the semis before setting a date with long-time nemesis Iloilo in the home-and-away finals. "We didn't expect to play this well," said Go. "I think it's just one of those things were everything just clicks together."

They previously clashed in the Visayas regionals – a bloody 1-nil battle won by Bacolod that at times resembled a gang war as tackles, elbows, and punches were intermittently thrown.

As the two teams braced for a bruising finals battle, the acrimony spilled off the pitch.

Following a controversial 3-1 loss at the Central Philippine University football field in Jaro, Iloilo where the fulltime score of 1-1 was continued in extra periods, the home team filed a protest against the tournament officials who they accused of continuing the match. Bacolod countered by filing a protest against players who were added to the lineup when they had not seen any action throughout the tournament.

PFF officials initially reverted the outcome to 1-1 but as Bacolod threatened to walk out of the competition, Iloilo withdrew their protest and the game was played.

Team management and the coaching staff of Bacolod did their best to shield the players from the brewing controversy lest it affect their morale. Fegidero already had to contend with their power shortage in the second half of play.

Bacolod had scored most of their goals in the first 45 minutes. Come the reset, they had displayed a frightening penchant for losing focus while their opponents began to play much better. In the group stages, they nearly drew with NCR while Masbate owned the second half. Against Dipolog, the Mindanao squad took it to them in the match’s final 30 minutes. Fortunately for them, Dipolog was without four of their best players.

Against Iloilo, Bacolod faded in the second half of their rivals’ home match. “We will address that,” promised Fegidero.

Hardly had the fans at Panaad Stadium warmed their seats when the game was over in the opening minutes. Following a brilliant Beloya strike from 30 yards out, Iloilo crumbled. They ceded four goals in the first half. By fulltime, it was 9-0. And the title, the first ever PFF Suzuki Under-23 National Cup, was Bacolod’s.

During the victory celebration at Bar 21 along Lacson Street that continued until the wee hours of the morning, Fegidero and his coaching staff – sans their shades – sat and drank some beer. They smiled. Not the business-like manner in which they displayed at the start of the tournament. But one of extreme satisfaction.

I hope one or two PAL planes be painted with a Masskara design or emblem like what Cebu pacific did before with its DC-9 planes and B767.

Its a good advertising stint...maybe one of its B747 or A340 and an A320 or Q400 and it would be on the planes from August to November

or maybe Airphil Express or Cebu Pacific :lol:

I agree migs, it would really be nice if PAL and other domestic planes will have this gimmick in order to attract more local tourists during this month...since it's an off-peak season, they have to give more piso-fare tickets for those who are planning to visit Bacolod...in fairness, Masskara is already known all over the country, and local tourists are looking forward to see/experience its unique flare and to feel the cheerful atmosphere it brings...unlike the other festivals in the country, Masskara is not generic, predictable and boring:lol::lol::lol: just my opinion:lol::lol::lol:

Dapat may balance gid between concrete jungle and the greeneries. If only we can replicate even just a portion of Singapore then i guess that would be a great start. Hoping na panami-on gid ang landscaping dira sa Citywalk. If may budget pa gid ang JG Summit, mas nami na butangan na glass or canvass type canopy ang main walkway sang Central Citywalk. Tapos naka aircon or daw cooler/blower type na a/c unit(ala Bugis or Clark Quay sa SG). :) Al Fresco style pa naman ang new wing sang RPB, so dapat lang comfortable and refreshing pag ma kape2x or ma-dine sa ila mga outside seats. ;)

Gov Wants Port Funds to 3rd District

By Danny B. Dangcalan

Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. yesterday said he is in favor that the more than P700-million funds for the modernization of Banago port in Bacolod will be spent for the construction of a new port in the 3rd District, either in E. B. Magalona or in Victorias City.

"It’s both practical and advantageous to Negros," Marañon said, although he was quick to add that an in-depth study should be made to iron out technical problems before the final decision.

In February, Bacolod Rep. Anthony Golez announced that he had facilitated for the P700-million fund of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) to be allocated to the development of the public port in Banago.

Golez said he wants to develop the first modern public port in Bacolod that is expected to be completed by 2013.

But 3rd District Rep. Alfredo Abelardo "Albee" Benitez has a different idea on the plan, saying that Bacolod has already a modern port, the Bacolod Real Estate Development Corp. (BRDECO), and it would be an improper use of funds of the PPA to invest in a government project that would compete with a similar project run by a private entity.

"One question is, do we really need two ports in one city? Another question is, do we use government resources to compete with the private sector?," Benitez said.

Instead of spending the P700-million fund for Banago port, Benitez suggested that the fund be used in building a port in 3rd District where there are three sugar milling companies, thus it would help in faster cargo of their products.

Marañon said both Golez and Benitez had valid points, which is also to protect their respective interests.

The owner of BREDCO is lawyer Simplico Palanca, grandfather of Benitez. But Benitez earlier said it is not a question of who owns the BREDCO port, it is an issue of the propriety of the fund use.

Marañon said that a port in 3rd District would be advantageous to those from northern Negros, especially the sugar mills that can cut travel time in transporting their cargo.For example, if there is port in Victorias, the shipment of goods of Victorias Milling Company would no longer travel by 30 kilometers to Bacolod, thus it will save transport costs.

The same is true with other sugar milling companies in northern Negros, he said.

Marañon also cited that the bulk of ship passengers from Negros are bound for Manila. Since the tip of northern Negros is closer to Manila by 53 nautical miles, having a port anywhere in northern Negros would cut the travel time to Manila by at least two hours, he said.

Marañon also agreed with the reasoning of Benitez that a government agency does not use its resources to compete with the existing similar projects of a private company.

He said if a port is built either in E. B. Magalona or Victorias, it would be more competitive to BREDCO, than a Banago port would, because it can offer lesser travel time from those in northern Negros.

"You know, if there is competition there is improvement of services, which cannot be provided under a monopoly," Marañon added.

Meanwhile, Golez said the Banago port modernization project will push through as the plan is just awaiting implementation.

He said the PPA and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources will soon sign a Memorandum of Agreement on the issue of jurisdiction of the Banago port.

He also offered to help Benitez in coming up with development plans to establish a public port in the 3rd District, as long as the latter does not block the port project that is intended for Bacolod.

Golez reportedly said it is a matter of respect for government officials not to get projects that are not originally for their districts.

But Benitez said the port issue is not a question of respect but on the proper use of public funds. The modernization program of Banago port has an estimated budget of P716 million in long-term development projects and more than P280 million more in short-tem projects, or close to P1 billion.*

I always love Bacolod. Apart from being the sugar capital of the Philippines, it is also known for having good restaurants. If you're on a vacation, you can't help but eat! It's good to know that Bacolod is improving. I heard there will be more condo buildings in the east side. I remember eating good food from Pepe's, chilling with my friends over their margarita and tasteful dessert in Calea. Now there's L'Fiser Chalet, an overlooking view of lacson street which is the main street of the city. We went to the beach which is 4 hours away from the city and it was captivating! A lot of good memories Bacolod. I am looking forward to our next visit.

Bacolod, Cebu fives dispute NBTC crown
By Cedelf P. Tupas
Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

BACOLOD—Purefoods TJ Hotdog-St. John’s Institute and Purefoods TJ Hotdog-Cebu rolled past separate rivals yesterday to forge a championship duel in the Seaoil NBTC Elite League National Finals at theWest Negros University gym here.

Cheered wildly by the home crowd, St. John’s, runner-up in the Bacolod eliminations, used a fiery start to coast to an 88-57 victory over Magnolia Frozen Delights-Iloilo to reach the finals opposite the Cebuanos.

Purefoods-Cebu blasted San Mig Coffee-Cavite, 82-42.

Kib Montalbo, one of the top high school players here, teamed up with reed-thin center Jan Toral in an 18-0 run to end the opening quarter.

All of Toral’s game-high 15 points came in the opening period on putbacks and fastbreak layups set up by Montalbo.

With the passerelle format being followed, teams needed to field different quintets in each of the first three periods and St. John’s sustained its strong effort to keep the Ilonggos at bay.

Unlimited substitutions are only applied in the fourth quarter, but by the time the Bacolod duo returned for the final period, St. John’s was already beyond recall at 69-43.

The Cebuanos shocked the Caviteños with a stifling press to open the first five minutes of the game, while drawing firepower from Patrick Nigel Go, who had eight points to lift his team to an early double-digit cushion, 26-9.

It was smooth sailing from there as Rendell Senining and Dawn Hynric Ochea picked up from where Go left off in the second and third periods to seal the blowout win.

Cebu’s chances of making the next round looked dim after it lost to San Mig Coffee-WNU, 76-80. But the Cebuanos got a break when WNU lost to Monterey Meat Shop-Cagayan de Oro, 95-96, late Tuesday.

Capitol Prime Lots Eyed by SM Up for Bidding

By Danny B. Dangcalan

The schedule of bidding for the 6.5-hectare prime lots owned by the provincial government and is being eyed by SM Prime Holdings will be published in local and national papers next week, Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. said.

The papers for the technical aspects of the bidding process are being prepared now, Marañon added.

Aside from SM Prime Holdings, other companies are reportedly also interested to buy or lease the prime property situated at the back of the Provincial Capitol building along Gatuslao St.

Vice Governor Genaro Alvarez Jr. earlier said the Ayala Group of Companies has verbally expressed its intention to buy the said property, while Marañon said he will send Robinsons Land Corp. an invitation to bid on the property.

Marañon said the awarding of the winning bidder depends on the companies’ offer or "if the price is right."

During the bidding, the prospective developers will be the ones to make an offer, he said. "The company which has the best offer, to the best interest of the province, (will get the property)," Marañon said. Two weeks ago, Hans Sy, president of SM Prime Holdings, personally submitted to Maraqon their proposal to purchase or lease the said property.

Sy said they have submitted an unsolicited proposal to build a hotel and convention center on a property owned by the provincial government behind the Capitol, and the initial estimate of investment is about P2.5 billion.*

How Bacolod became U-23 National Champions
Story and photos by Rick Olivares

Enter Ricky and Leo Rey Yanson. The brothers once played football for La Salle Bacolod during their high school years. Although they had hung up their boots, their love for the sport never waned. In spite of their many business ventures, they had previously managed the Bacolod Open Champion Team in 2006 and the runner-up in 2007. They also had two football fields constructed – the Villa Valderrama Field and the North Field in Talisay – with two more under way (one beside Robinson’s Place and the other at Barangay Bubog, Talisay).

Capitol seeks City Hall endorsement for Peza

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

NEGROS Occidental Governor Alfredo G. Marañon, Jr. has written the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Bacolod, through Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus Sayson, requesting for an endorsement from the City Council relative to the Capitol’s application with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza).

The Provincial Government will apply with Peza for the declaration of its 12,675-square-meter property located at the Pagla-um Sports Complex in Barangay 38, Bacolod City as an Information Technology Park or the “Negros First Cyber Park.”

Capitol is processing its application, which will be submitted to Peza Director General Lilia B. De Lima.

On the other hand, lawyer Cesar Beloria of the Bacolod City Legal Office assured the Capitol that the city is also working on the request of Provincial Legal Officer lawyer Jose Maria Valencia for the clearing of squatters occupying the roads leading to the property of the Provincial Government in Barangay 39.

The province intends to make a portion of the property available as a temporary relocation site for the Negros Occidental Teachers’ Federation (NOTF) after NOTF’s building at Paglaum Sports Complex was condemned to make way for the Capitol’s cyber park.

Beloria said that he is just awaiting the request and final instruction from Mayor Evelio R. Leonardia for the City Legal Office to take the appropriate action in freeing the squatters’ area.

“We will properly coordinate with the Provincial Government when we have the order,” he said.

As to the possibility that these squatters will get a relocation site, Beloria said the affected informal settlers have to undergo a process of application and qualification at the Bacolod Housing Authority. If they are qualified, the city will entertain their application for relocation.

Beloria said most of the squatters really dreamed of having their own property and most of them are willing to cooperate when demolition is due.

He stressed that it is the city’s policy to clear places with illegal structures, which obstruct the flow of traffic and affect the convenience of the public.

Whether the Provincial Government is implementing a project that needs the relocation of squatters and structures, the time will eventually come when the structures on the road leading to the Capitol property will be the subject of demolition by the city for an organized and orderly community.

Some people might be displaced because of government projects, but still, the government is there to assist them in finding the right place that is conducive to a stable and decent living, Beloria said. (Carla N. Canet)

Parcon: Getting more from money flowing into the local economy

By Rodel T. Parcon, CPA, MBA

Breakthroughs

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Bacolod City has captured the eyes of the country’s “big boys” in real estate development.

Bannered in local dailies lately is the news that SM and Ayala are vying for large parcels of land situated at the back of the Provincial Capitol.

Probably, this is in response to the ongoing expansion at Robinson’s Place, and as rumor has it, the Gaisanos will soon embark in enlarging their operations at the Downtown area and their Singcang property.

Word has it also that the “big boys” will build hotel rooms, convention centers, and commercial spaces for call center and retail operations.

These large real estate development projects of the Gokongweis, Sys, Gaisanos and Ayalas in Bacolod point to the fact that the City of Smiles has become an interesting and exciting tourist destination.

The Taipans’ actions also show the city’s value and desirability to business process outsourcing (BPO) or call center operators.

The large-scale construction activities of the “big boys” are certain to pump in billions of pesos into the local economy.

Their investments will entice more tourists to come and visit the City of Smiles, and more BPO/call center locators to bring their operations to Bacolod.

The implications of all these developments and prospects to the city’s local economy are tremendous, considering that the city is already enjoying the sustained boom of the sugar industry, the existing BPO/call center operations, the high level of tourist influx, and the remittances of overseas workers.

It is certain then that the city’s economy is enjoying from money brought in by sugar production, overseas workers, tourists and BPO/call center operations.

While Bacolod is enjoying expanded sources of revenues, money coming in also goes out fast because most of what the residents consume is produced from the outside, particularly food and clothing.

Thus, the challenge now for local entrepreneurs is how to increase the spin of incoming money within the local economy before letting them flow out of the city.

Incoming money can have more spin in the local economy if local entrepreneurs would go into agriculture, fisheries, food processing, and garments manufacturing, for a start.

While the city is classified as highly urbanized, it still has large tracts of land that can be used for agricultural production. It has also a wide span of seawater from which fishery undertakings can be pursued.

Its low cost of power and abundant supply of skilled labor are factors that can support light manufacturing industries in the city dedicated to food processing and garments manufacturing.

There is more money now flowing into Bacolod City. If this can only have more spin internally before flowing out of the city, more jobs can surely be created and sustained.

And, more jobs mean higher economic growth.

Bill to convert agri college into state university filed

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

A SECOND Senate bill pushing for the conversion of the Negros State College of Agriculture (NSCA) in Kabankalan City into a state university was filed last week and is now pending before the Committee on Education.

Senate Bill (SB) 2830, introduced by Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri, calls for the conversion into a state university of NSCA and its extension campuses in the municipalities of Hinobaan, Cauayan, Ilog, Candoni, Moises Padilla, Hinigaran and in the cities of San Carlos, Sipalay, Himamaylan and Victorias to be known as the Central Philippines State University (CPSU).

Zubiri’s proposal is a carbon copy of SB 2698 authored by Senator Manny Villar that was filed last February 14, 2011.

In both bills, the two senators stressed that the conversion of NSCA will bring the government closer to the poor but deserving students who cannot afford private higher education.

“Being a university, it can offer courses relevant to the needs of the industry, which at present are offered by private education institutions that charge very high fees,” the two proposals added.

As a state uninverstiy, its offering of relevant courses will help revolutionize the monocropping sugar industry into a diversified industry by producing quality graduates who will man the various industries.

“(It will also) reach out to the sons and daughters of the marginalized farmers, fisherfolks, sacadas and other hacienda workers with the most affordable tertiary education in agriculture and other professional courses, which answers to the needs of industries in the locality.”

Section 2 of both bills stated that the “University shall primarily provide advanced education, higher technological, professional instruction and training in agriculture/fisheries, animal science, forestry, education, computer studies, engineering, arts and sciences and other relevant fields of study.” (CGC)

P220B set for WV dev’t over six years
BY CARLA GOMEZ

A P220 billion Regional Development Investment Program for 2011 to 2016 was presented to congressmen, governors and mayors of highly urbanized cities of Western Visayas at a Regional Development Council meeting at the Batasang Pambansa building in Quezon City yesterday, Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. said last night.

Covered by the P220 billion RDIP are roads, bridges, flood control, ports and irrigation projects for the Western Visayas, including P4.8 billion for the Panay-Guimaras-Negros island bridges, Marañon said.

Bacolod Mayor Evelio Leonardia said P4.8 billion will cover the Panay-Guimaras stretch, which they consider a first step toward the interconnection of Panay to Negros Occidental.

The RDIP presented by Ma Luisa Segovia, RDC 6 co- chairperson, said it is a guide to private investors and business groups as to where government intends to put its resources in Region 6 over a period of six years.

It does not represent the totality of programs, projects and activities for regional development, she added.

Under the RDIP the proposed allocation for Bacolod City is P716 million for the development of the Banago port, P457 million for the Bacolod Circumferential Road, P500 million for the coastal road improvement from Sibucao to Punta Taytay and P550 million for the Bacolod City Master Drainage Plan, Leonardia said.

Leonardia said this will greatly spur the development of Bacolod City.

In the first district of Negros Occidental the proposed RDIP allocation is P517 million for junction national road-Dagay-Bato-Dian-ay-Marcelo-Balea Road, P511 million for the junction DS Benedicto-Spur 16-Calatrava road concreting and P1.5 billion for the Bacolod-North Road (North South Backbone.)

In the second district of Negros Occidental, there will be P48 million for farm-to-market roads in Manapla, P188 million for the construction of the Hiomoga-an Bridge in Sagay City and P552 million for the Bacolod North Road (north-south backbone).

In the third district the proposed allocations are P246 million for the Bacolod-North Road (north-south backbone), P1.03 billion for the Malogo River Irrigation Project and P145 million of the junction Murcia-Cansilayan-Damsite-Abuanan-Bago City Road concreting, Rep. Alfredo Abelardo Benetiz (Neg. Occ.-3rd District) said.

In the fourth district P107 million for the Bacolod South Road restoration, P535 million for the Bago-Mambukal Road, and P199 million for the junction of the Bagonawa-La Castellana Road (east-west lateral).

In the fifth district P306 million for the concreting upgrading of the Isabela-Libas Boundary Road, P421 million for the reconstruction of the Bacolod south road, P743 million for the Binalbagan River Irrigation Project and P978 million for the construction of the Himamaylan City-Negros Oriental Boundary-Tayasan Road.

The Integrated School Volleyball team, representing Western Visayas, successfully regained their Palarong Pambansa championship title after outlasting the National Capitol Region in a five-set thriller held in Dapitan on May 8-13.

“Our battle cry always is 16% …16%. All six players have to give her 16% to the group and the remaining 4% is prayer...” shared by team coach Marilou Lozada who was also awarded as Best Coach.

Together with selections from St. John’s Institute, Talisay, La Carlota and Iloilo, the team swept the second and fourth sets with scorecards at 25-20; 25-19 and repelled NCR’s contingent with an 15-11 finish, securing the championship.

Team captain Fritz Joy Gallenero was awarded as the Best Attacker, Jane Frances Borrero as Best Blocker and Giselle Jessica Tan as both Best Setter and Most Valuable Player.

Meanwhile, the Lady Stingers bettered their performance last year by settling for third place in the 8th edition of the Shakey’s V-League.

The volleybelles trounced National Univeristy’s Lady Bulldogs by setting a comprehensive 25-17, 25-21, 25-23 landslide win.

Season’s Best Scorers went to Patty Orendain and Sheryl Denila while April Hinigpit was hailed Best Server.

The Lady Stingers together with guest players Jovelyn Gonzaga of Central Philippine University, Aiza Maizo of University of Santo Tomas, American Jayde Hair and USLS alumna Rebbie Delotindo left a record as the best finish of a provincial team in the V-League so far.

The university volleyball team has been joining the competition since Season 5 way back 2008.

The USLS-IS volleyball team took the championship in the Girls edition of the Shakey’s League.

its a conglomerate of Iloilo and Negros businessmen Lopez, Ledesma, Lacson, etc....true to its name but Negros doesn't have a shipyard and a decent deep-water port at that time, so Negros Navigation made Iloilo's Muelle Loney Port its main office and home port of call. That's why before ships of NN have Iloilo labeled at the ships rear.

from the "Football Hub"....

Negros players endorsed to PFF
By FRANCIS SANTIAGO
May 25, 2011, 12:19am

MANILA, Philippines — Negros Occidental coach Norman Fegidero Jr. has recommended five players from his side, including highly-touted Joshua Beloya to be included in the pool for the national football team to the Southeast Asian Games in Indonesia later this year.

Strikers Beloya and Aldrin Dolino, Lemuel Unabia, defender Camelo Tacusalme and Joven Bedic helped Negros capture the 1st Philippine Football Federation-Suzuki National Cup at the expense of fierce rival Iloilo on Sunday.

Fegidero, a former national head coach, believes their inclusion to the national squad would be a big boost to the country’s bid of winning a first ever medal in the SEAG since joining the biennial meet in 1977.

“There are a lot more talented players in the province and I hope football officials will reach out to them,” said Fegidero moments after Negros blanked Iloilo, 9-0, in the second leg of their Suzuki title duel at the Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City. Negros also won the first leg, 3-1.

Azkals’ German coach Hans Michael Weiss and team manager Dan Palami will handle the national squad for the SEAG, which is an Under-23 event.

Beloya, a Filipino-American who was born in Olongapo but grew up in the United States and Sweden, made a lot heads turn when he was named the PFF-Suzuki National Cup’s best striker with 14 goals on Sunday, while Dolino, was awarded as the tournament’s MVP and Tacusalme, the best defender.

“He (Beloya) has a great feel for the game and very dangerous inside the box. He’s greatest asset is his mental toughness,” Fegidero said.

Fegidero, though, said he hopes the Philippine Football Federation has a solid program for players who would leave the province to join the national squad in Manila.

Malaysia is the defending SEA Games champion, with Vietnam and Singapore as the second and third place finishers.

The national team will be backstopped by six Azkals, according to Palami. They are goalkeeper Neil Etheridge, 21, Christopher Camcam, 16, defender David Basa, 21, striker Yannick Tuason, 21 and Fil-German Patrick Hinrichsen, 20, and Fil-Dutch Jason de Jong, 21.

P220B set for WVvdev’t over six years

A P220 billion Regional Development Investment Program for 2011 to 2016 was presented to congressmen, governors and mayors of highly urbanized cities of Western Visayas at a Regional Development Council meeting at the Batasang Pambansa building in Quezon City yesterday, Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. said last night.

Covered by the P220 billion RDIP are roads, bridges, flood control, ports and irrigation projects for the Western Visayas, including P4.8 billion for the Panay-Guimaras-Negros island bridges, Marañon said.

Bacolod Mayor Evelio Leonardia said P4.8 billion will cover the Panay-Guimaras stretch, which they consider a first step toward the interconnection of Panay to Negros Occidental.

The RDIP presented by Ma Luisa Segovia, RDC 6 co- chairperson, said it is a guide to private investors and business groups as to where government intends to put its resources in Region 6 over a period of six years.

It does not represent the totality of programs, projects and activities for regional development, she added.

Under the RDIP the proposed allocation for Bacolod City is P716 million for the development of the Banago port, P457 million for the Bacolod Circumferential Road, P500 million for the coastal road improvement from Sibucao to Punta Taytay and P550 million for the Bacolod City Master Drainage Plan, Leonardia said.

Leonardia said this will greatly spur the development of Bacolod City.

In the first district of Negros Occidental the proposed RDIP allocation is P517 million for junction national road-Dagay-Bato-Dian-ay-Marcelo-Balea Road, P511 million for the junction DS Benedicto-Spur 16-Calatrava road concreting and P1.5 billion for the Bacolod-North Road (North South Backbone.)

In the second district of Negros Occidental, there will be P48 million for farm-to-market roads in Manapla, P188 million for the construction of the Hiomoga-an Bridge in Sagay City and P552 million for the Bacolod North Road (north-south backbone).

In the third district the proposed allocations are P246 million for the Bacolod-North Road (north-south backbone), P1.03 billion for the Malogo River Irrigation Project and P145 million of the junction Murcia-Cansilayan-Damsite-Abuanan-Bago City Road concreting, Rep. Alfredo Abelardo Benetiz (Neg. Occ.-3rd District) said.

In the fourth district P107 million for the Bacolod South Road restoration, P535 million for the Bago-Mambukal Road, and P199 million for the junction of the Bagonawa-La Castellana Road (east-west lateral).

In the fifth district P306 million for the concreting upgrading of the Isabela-Libas Boundary Road, P421 million for the reconstruction of the Bacolod south road, P743 million for the Binalbagan River Irrigation Project and P978 million for the construction of the Himamaylan City-Negros Oriental Boundary-Tayasan Road.

In the 6th district included in the RDIP plan is the P2.6 billion Ilog-Hilabangan flood control, P1.5 billion Kabankalan Domestic Airport, P697 million concreting of the Candoni-Sipalay Road and the P747 million construction of the junction Bearin-Salong-Tapi-Dacongcogon –Bantayan Road, Rep. Mercedes Alvarez (Neg. Occ. 6th District) said.

Also included in the six-year plan for Western Visayas is P20.6 billion for the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, P3.3 billion for direct hospital services, P2.5 billion for supplementary feeding in day care centers, P1.9 billion for health facilities and services rationalization;

P1.9 billion for farm production-related machinery and equipment, P1.6 billion for farm to market roads, P16.2 million for the Integrated Panay Railway System and P76.4 billion roads ports bridges, flood control and irrigation systems on Panay Island, Segovia reported

Panay-Guimaras-Negros bridges get fund

It looks like the ambitious dream of building bridges to connect the islands of Panay, Guimaras, and Negros, estimated to cost P53.9 billion as of latest estimates, may come true.

That’s because a fund of P4.8 billion has been allocated for the Panay-Guimaras stretch under the Regional Development Investment Program for 2011 to 2016, Governor Alfredo Maranon Jr. said.

A budget of P220 billion has been earmarked under the Regional Development Investment Program for 2011 to 2016, that will be spent for roads, bridges, flood control, ports and irrigation projects for the Western Visayas, Maranon said.

This development was presented to congressmen, governors and mayors of highly urbanized cities of Western Visayas at a Regional Development Council meeting at the Batasang Pambansa building in Quezon City Tuesday, Marañon added.

Bacolod Mayor Evelio Leonardia said P4.8 billion will cover the Panay-Guimaras stretch, which they consider a first step toward the interconnection of Panay to Negros Occidental.

Engr. Danilo Peroy, chief of the Planning and Design Division of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Western Visayas, earlier according to their feasibility studies, the Iloilo City-Guimaras bridge, traversing a distance of 2.59 kilometers, will cost P14.173 billion, while the longer bridge connecting Guimaras and Negros with 20.6 kilometers, will cost P39.8 billion.

All in all, the amount would be P53.973 billion, more than 100 percent increase from the previous estimate of P25 billion, he said.

The dream of building Panay-Guimaras-Negros bridges has started in 2005 between among the governors of the three islands.

Meanwhile, under the RDIP the proposed allocation for Bacolod City is P716 million for the development of the Banago port, P457 million for the Bacolod Circumferential Road, P500 million for the coastal road improvement from Sibucao to Punta Taytay and P550 million for the Bacolod City Master Drainage Plan, Leonardia said.*Danny Dangcalan

Bacolod Mayor Evelio Leonardia said P4.8 billion will cover the Panay-Guimaras stretch, which they consider a first step toward the interconnection of Panay to Negros Occidental.

Engr. Danilo Peroy, chief of the Planning and Design Division of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Western Visayas, earlier according to their feasibility studies, the Iloilo City-Guimaras bridge, traversing a distance of 2.59 kilometers, will cost P14.173 billion, while the longer bridge connecting Guimaras and Negros with 20.6 kilometers, will cost P39.8 billion.

All in all, the amount would be P53.973 billion, more than 100 percent increase from the previous estimate of P25 billion, he said.

The dream of building Panay-Guimaras-Negros bridges has started in 2005 between among the governors of the three islands.

Meanwhile, under the RDIP the proposed allocation for Bacolod City is P716 million for the development of the Banago port, P457 million for the Bacolod Circumferential Road, P500 million for the coastal road improvement from Sibucao to Punta Taytay and P550 million for the Bacolod City Master Drainage Plan, Leonardia said.*Danny Dangcalan

I don't think nga ang amount sang traffic nga mag go through sa ini nga bridge could justify the cost of building it. Daw indi man gid amo sina kadamo ang trading nga gakatabo between the islands of panay, guimaras and negros. I would recommend however nga butangan na lang sang railway ang bilog nga negros para mapadasig ang transportation sang goods within the island, then utilize the existing port infrastructures sa pag transport goods to panay/guimaras. Or better yet, build a negros-cebu bridge, that will justify the costs considering may international aiport ang cebu, and imported goods definitely come from there going to negros. Not to mention ang foreign tourists kag balikbayan that could capitalize on this infrastructure.

Nami guid butangan railway from Bacolod to Dumaguete so that easy flow of investments and tourist interactions man from the big bro Bacolod to its li'l bro Dumaguete. I think there needs to be more interactions between these two capital cities since they both belong to the same island. Also, I think narrowest point ka Negros Island with Cebu Island is in Amlan, San Jose and Sibulan towns in Negros Oriental. In fact, our island is closer to Cebu than Panay.

Parcon: Getting more from money flowing into the local economy

By Rodel T. Parcon, CPA, MBA

Breakthroughs

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Bacolod City has captured the eyes of the country’s “big boys” in real estate development.

Bannered in local dailies lately is the news that SM and Ayala are vying for large parcels of land situated at the back of the Provincial Capitol.

Probably, this is in response to the ongoing expansion at Robinson’s Place, and as rumor has it, the Gaisanos will soon embark in enlarging their operations at the Downtown area and their Singcang property.

Word has it also that the “big boys” will build hotel rooms, convention centers, and commercial spaces for call center and retail operations.

These large real estate development projects of the Gokongweis, Sys, Gaisanos and Ayalas in Bacolod point to the fact that the City of Smiles has become an interesting and exciting tourist destination.

The Taipans’ actions also show the city’s value and desirability to business process outsourcing (BPO) or call center operators.

The large-scale construction activities of the “big boys” are certain to pump in billions of pesos into the local economy.

Their investments will entice more tourists to come and visit the City of Smiles, and more BPO/call center locators to bring their operations to Bacolod.

The implications of all these developments and prospects to the city’s local economy are tremendous, considering that the city is already enjoying the sustained boom of the sugar industry, the existing BPO/call center operations, the high level of tourist influx, and the remittances of overseas workers.

It is certain then that the city’s economy is enjoying from money brought in by sugar production, overseas workers, tourists and BPO/call center operations.

While Bacolod is enjoying expanded sources of revenues, money coming in also goes out fast because most of what the residents consume is produced from the outside, particularly food and clothing.

Thus, the challenge now for local entrepreneurs is how to increase the spin of incoming money within the local economy before letting them flow out of the city.

Incoming money can have more spin in the local economy if local entrepreneurs would go into agriculture, fisheries, food processing, and garments manufacturing, for a start.

While the city is classified as highly urbanized, it still has large tracts of land that can be used for agricultural production. It has also a wide span of seawater from which fishery undertakings can be pursued.

Its low cost of power and abundant supply of skilled labor are factors that can support light manufacturing industries in the city dedicated to food processing and garments manufacturing.

There is more money now flowing into Bacolod City. If this can only have more spin internally before flowing out of the city, more jobs can surely be created and sustained.

And, more jobs mean higher economic growth.

tani indi lang pag e connect ang guimaras kay basi indi na sila maka export ila mangoes....

Waay na kaso sir, protected man na sila sang ordinansa nga indi ka pwede ka dala mango fruits and mango seedlings/seeds sa Guimaras. And besides, Guimaras should be happy gani because Negros is one of their big markets for their mangoes. Gusto ko gid tani ang Negros-Guimaras-Iloilo Bridge kay mas easy ang traffic of commerce and trade. But practicality-wise Better nga Iloilo-Guimaras na lang ang may bridge, and if may Iloilo-Negros Bridge gid man didto nila ibutang sa EB Magalona kay mas lapit i-connect sa Iloilo (Barotac Viejo or Ajuy). I would rather give the travel of Negros to Guimaras the "island-hopping" experience...para mag kita man aton mga ferry boats and RORO

Ang railway na ya migs daw kabudlay na sa aton subong since aton railway networks halin sang una pa are concentrated independently to specific Sugar Centrals, so wala specific nga mga linya

But maybe para magdasig ang trade especially with transportation of sugarcane to milling sites and refineries we could interconnect these existing sugar central railroads together with one single transit line in the inland areas of Negros...say starting North end would be Sagay (Central Lopez) derecho na Victorias (VMC) then to Silay (Hawaiian-Phil central) then would traverse Bacolod's Eastern area (Estefania, Granada, Vista
Alegre, Mansilingan) then to Murcia connecting with Bago (Ma-ao) then La Carlota (Central Azucarera) then to Binalbagan (Biscom) and terminal line to the south at Kabankalan....that would be our Negros Sugar Railway Line...

para at least ma reduce if not ma spare ang aton kadalanan sa kadamo sang trucks kada milling season.

Who knows kun madayun ina kag mag regular, a pasenger and cargo line will be put parallel to it

naabutan ko pa na mig ang railway da sa may sto. nino pakadto sa mirasol wharf subong, I think ang problema sang railways ang mga right of way gid.....btw nakita ko sa channel 17 sa skycable the other day and they were talking about the old railway system of Cebu which was established in the early 1900s together with that of panay, sang una gali panay kag cebu gid ang pinaka developed na islands dire sa visayas galing kay daw ang cebu lang gid ya ang grabe pag develop...

Wow, taga-La Salle ka man gali nong? :cheers:

Pa-OT na lang, well, a lot has changed naman sa campus. S-18 (actually more than half of Solomon) is finally airconditioned so closed na sya. Kun medyo gahod sa sagwa, indi na masyado maka-disturb sa class. :lol:

If matuod ang plan sang USLS (they presented it to us during our Tuition Fee Dialogue), they're finally going to aircondition the Coliseum and to rubberize the track oval in the football field this year or the next. :cheers:

@xeltran... the plan of making the coliseum airconditioned was bared by br. arianne during the recognition rites last march... while the track oval to be rubberized was bared by dr. jochico during the dialogue... lasalle gives back to students everything it earns but at the right time... thanks to a very dynamic financial management...

naabutan ko pa na mig ang railway da sa may sto. nino pakadto sa mirasol wharf subong, I think ang problema sang railways ang mga right of way gid.....btw nakita ko sa channel 17 sa skycable the other day and they were talking about the old railway system of Cebu which was established in the early 1900s together with that of panay, sang una gali panay kag cebu gid ang pinaka developed na islands dire sa visayas galing kay daw ang cebu lang gid ya ang grabe pag develop...

Baw really sir?...naabtan ko lang ya ang railroad nga abandoned here lapit sa Mountainview nga galusot pakadto sa likod Rolling Hills...I believe its Bacolod Murcia Milling Company's.

Yes una na ang Iloilo kag Cebu on the railways system, but as far as I know ang Panay Railways mas nauna. And ang well known nga passenger rail transport system system was the Philippine National Railways (Manila-Dagupan and Manila-Legazpi) and the Panay Railways (Iloilo - Roxas) But well the automobile culture slowly outmoded the transit rail system.

as to Cebu I don't know how it fared during World War II but I know Iloilo was severely devastated by heavy Japanese bombing and since that time the city moved a slower pace.It was the second time the city slowed down...the first was the slump of the textile industry during Spanish Colonial Period that spurred the famous "Panay Migration" to Negros for the booming sugar industry

Interesting postcript on the U23 Suzuki Cup

Birthing Pains – PFF U23 Suzuki Cup

When it was announced that the PFF was holding its local version of the Suzuki Cup a few months back, I couldn’t believe my luck. A Suzuki Cup, here in the Philippines? Football has indeed grown by leaps and bounds, right before our eyes, and in a span of only five months since the Southeast Asian version of the Suzuki Cup!

The events that unfolded in the two legged Final between Iloilo and Bacolod, though, proved to many that perhaps we need more time to mature as a footballing country.

Thirty minutes of extra time was played after the first leg of a two-legged final.

Football fans and journalists worth their salt would know: In the first leg of a two-legged tie, you do not give extra time. It is when scores are level on aggregate, that extra time is given and this is for the second leg.

The statement from the PFF tried to explain the matter. It reads “In the ensuing discussion, the tournament officials present including the coaches decreed that the match continue with two fifteen-minute halves.”

From the above-mentioned statement, it seems both coaches agreed to continue playing after normal time. This also implies, that one or both coaches could have decided NOT to continue playing, and end the game with the score tied at 1-1.

What made both teams decide to carry on?

Bacolod probably fancied their chances of getting another away goal. In cases like this which have a home and away format, an away goal is as good as two goals.

Iloilo was playing at home, and controlled the second half. Momentum was seemingly on their side. Would an additional thirty minute spell help them get more goals in their home match, to serve as a cushion for the second game in Panaad?

Both teams clearly could have settled for a draw after 90 minutes, and that would be the end of it. However, it seems both teams wanted for play to continue. By agreeing to continue play, both coaches surely knew the potential benefits and drawbacks of such a decision.

Unfortunately for the Ilonggos, this was the precursor to a catastrophe. After the dust from the thirty additional minutes settled, they found themselves 1-3 down with two players red carded. This included, crucially, their only goalkeeper on the team.

What followed, frankly, was a mess. Protests, overrules, withdrawals of protests. All of which do not do justice to the very successful staging of the first PFF Suzuki Cup. Could this all have been avoided?

If we followed international rules, extra time in the first leg shouldn’t have been played. That should have solved a ton of issues right there.

Since extra time was played, and presumably agreed upon by both camps, then whatever the outcome after extra time should be honoured, regardless whether the outcome was favourable to your team. It should be that simple.

Numerous solutions have been brought forth to avoid these things from ever happening again, and really, the solution is quite simple. If the rules are clear, and all team managers, coaches, players and staff know them, this fiasco would never have happened.

This segues quite nicely to Iloilo’s behaviour in the second leg in Panaad, Bacolod. With luminous VIP’s in attendance, which included title sponsor Suzuki’s big honchos, Iloilo managed to further inflict humiliation onto themselves by cheaply giving away two goals in the second half.

Already down 1-3 from the first leg, Iloilo was at the wrong end of a 0-6 score line when they lost the plot completely. Short of scoring an own goal themselves, Iloilo players twice attempted weak back passes to their makeshift keeper. This was of course intercepted by the Bacolod strikers, who had very little trouble putting the ball back into the net in both instances. To make matters worse, Iloilo players applauded both Iloilo goals.

To lose in a final is nothing to be ashamed of. To lose without dignity and class, however, is a different matter. Bacolod was clearly the better team on the day, and the better team for the whole tournament. Let us not cheapen their victory in any way.

The final score would eventually be 9-1 in favour of Champions Bacolod. But Iloilo were not the only losers on the day. Filipino Football suffered a black eye as well, what with the chaos that followed the first leg and the farce of giving away two cheap goals.

Hopefully these two instances do not take away the fact that it was a very successful staging of the tournament. One where we saw new talent being discovered, football passions ignited, and where local rivalries set aside their differences to unite for one common goal.

It would not be a stretch to say that the future Azkals are to be found in this tournament. A continued staging of this tournament in the years to come is essential if we are to build on the rising popularity of football here in general and the continued success of the Philippine National Team in particular.

Good Morning Bacolod!!!

Today is Thursday May 26, 2011
Food, May Flower Festival starts tomorrow

BACOLOD City — Despite threats of typhoon “Chedeng,” the Negros First Food and May Flower Festival will push through tomorrow.

Thousands of local and foreign tourists are expected to attend the event at the Panaad Sports and Recreational Park, according to Ma. Esther Espina, co-chair of the event’s organizing committee.

Espina said the festival is designed to promote the unique delicacies of all local government units in the province, and the Food Security and Productivity Program of Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr.

Activities for the three-day affair are all set, with all the province’s 32 cities and towns actively involved in the event, Espina said.

Kiosks are being put up at the Panaad Park; the event will also feature the cattle and livestock bought by the provincial government, all placed inside a one-hectare ranch, she said. The animals will be brought in to the ranch today in preparation for tomorrow’s grand opening.

The Negros Occidental Orchid Society will also display their orchid and flower collections tomorrow, Espina said.

Additional personnel will be placed in the area for added security, as there are security personnel already manning the Panaad Park because of the ongoing Philippine National Games, she added.

Congressmen from all the six districts of the province, the national president of the Development Bank of the Philippines and all local chief executives in Negros Occidental, are expected to grace the event, Espina revealed.

Revelers will have the chance to witness different cultural activities and shows featuring movie personalities from television network ABS-CBN, she said.

Foods will also be sold in the food court for very affordable prices.

Other activities include carabao racing, egg hunting and a cooking competition. (Ranie Azue/PN)

Extensive sports program sought

BY RANIE S. AZUE

BACOLOD City — Councilor Caesar Distrito recently proposed an ordinance establishing a comprehensive sports development program for this city.

Distrito’s proposal will repeal City Ordinance No. 85 Series of 1993, in effect creating another sports body to be called the “Bacolod City Sports and Development Council.”

Such sports body will: (1) oversee all sports program of the city, (2) look after athletes and discover potential ones, (3) provide assistance to sports events, and (4) give attention to a grassroots sports program, the proposal said.

If approved, the proposed ordinance will mandate the annual conduct of sports competitions in the barangays (Palarong Pambarangay) to be spearheaded by the Sangguniang Kabataan, and the Palarong Bacolod, where all Palarong Pambarangay winners will engage in a friendly competition, Distrito said.

The current sports body is nonfunctional and ineffective, thus, depriving city residents of an appropriate and effective sports development program, Distrito said.

He said this city’s lack of a clear sports program hampers the training and development of new athletes who could compete in local and international sports events.

Aside from the localized sports competitions, Distrito also proposed that all sports associations accredited by the city be organized into a Sports Advisory Council, which will advise the new sports body on the disciplines that should be given more focus.

“This ordinance will also keep the youth away from vices … this will (particularly) serve as a tool in drug prevention,” he said.

Distrito said among the other aims of the ordinance are:

* to develop and aggressively promote sports leagues, tournaments and physical programs

* to pursue a vigorous sports development program that recruits, trains, retains and achieve expertise on a particular sports discipline, and

* to seek involvement of the public in advocating for sports.

“It is interesting to note that through these (programs), we might discover the next Manny Pacquiao, Efren “Bata” Reyes or basketball superstars who will give pride and honor not just to Bacolod City but also to the Philippines,” Distrito said.

Councilors Al Victor Espino, Mona Dia Jardin and Em Ang were the coauthors of the ordinance./PN

Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridges Get Funds

By Danny B. Dangcalan

The ambitious dream of building bridges to interconnect the islands of Panay, Guimaras and Negros, with a budget of P53.9 billion as of latest estimates, would come true with the initial funding for its first phase of work, Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. yesterday said.

A budget of P4.8 billion has been set for the Panay-Guimaras bridges under the Regional Development Investment Program (RDIP) for 2011 to 2016, which was presented at the Regional Development Council meeting at the Batasang Pambansa building in Quezon City Tuesday, Marañon said.
The Panay-Guimaras stretch is a first step toward the interconnection of Panay Island to Negros Occidental, he added.

"The project plan for the bridges has already been drafted. The project can now take off. The Panay-Guimaras-Negros bridges can happen within your lifetime," the governor told reporters yesterday.

Marañon said the bridges will spur economic growth in the region, with Guimaras receiving more economic benefits as those going to Panay from Negros or vice versa will pass through Guimaras.

The initial funding for the work on first phase of the bridges is also a strong encouragement to investors to invest on the project, in the light of President Aquino’s PPP (public-private partnership) thrust, he added.

The dream of building Panay-Guimaras-Negros bridges has started in 2006 as envisioned by the governors of the three islands. The governor of Negros Occidental at that time was the late Gov. Joseph Marañon, the current governor’s brother.

In 2006, the estimate for the bridges was P10 billion, until it became P25 billion, and the latest estimate is P53.9 billion, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

Engr. Danilo Peroy, chief of the Planning and Design Division of the DPWH in Western Visayas, earlier said according to their feasibility studies, the Iloilo City-Guimaras bridge, traversing a distance of 2.59 kilometers, will cost P14.173 billion, while the longer bridge connecting Guimaras and Negros with 20.6 kilometers, will cost P39.8 billion.

All in all, the amount would be P53.973 billion, more than 100 percent increase from the previous estimate of P25 billion, he said.

Meanwhile, the P4.8 billion budget for the Panay-Guimaras-Negros bridges is part of the P220 billion earmarked under the RDIP for 2011 to 2016 that will be spent for roads, bridges, flood control, ports and irrigation projects for the Western Visayas, Marañon said.

This development was presented to congressmen, governors and mayors of highly urbanized cities of Western Visayas the RDC meeting, Marañon added.*DBD

Guys, for info only , if you have friends or family coming to Bacolod, all hotels, pensionnes, inns are fully booked since yesterday, damo gid kagina mga walk in guests na wala reservations sa mga hotels wala gid sila kadtuan, luoy sa ila, even the smallest inns are fully booked .....nagdulungan abi ang mga conventions together with the phil. national games....:)

Baw ah...luoy no...I hope next time they schedule their conventions at overlapping schedules and not simultaneous para indi man ma choke-up aton siyudad..but that's a good indicator that we need more hotel rooms in Bacolod and adjacent cities. Pati aton mga commercial establishments and restaurants are always full

Ahay:ohno: with so many hotels in our city nagkulang pa sa mga visitors ta...wala guid kahingagaw ang ginapatindug pa nga mga hotels, hopefully by October, ma anticipate nila ang magaalabot pa guid nga mga visitors sa aton beautiful city:lol::lol::lol:

Ara naman migs ah...ga mat amat ang tanan patindog hotels and inns. At least we don't have much to lose on a lean season kay we accommodate withi our means. Kalaw-ay man na sang patindog lang ta damu nga hotel rooms but become empty on lean season

thats what we need :) actually amo na lang gid na ang aton na gina handum...we have the stadium...we have the malls, we have the flyover and the ever beautiful cityhall... all we need is a convention center which will further boost our city and province ahead. maka pa ubra lang convention center ang Bacolod kay daw mga uhong na lang na dayun magsunod sunod ang tanan :)

he hehehehehe....I agree migs. A convention center is the jump start of new events that may draw more people to visit Bacolod and Negros Occidental. Everything will just follow.

yup, "Convention Hub" na ta dayon aside from "BPO Hub", "Sports Hub", "Football Hub", "Organic Hub" and other upcoming hubs pa like "culinary hub" , etc.....:D

i love to see my signature.... daw ka kumpleto gid... may hustisya :)

Yeah....hehehehehe....my version on my siggy too...we deserve those bragging rights kay pinangabudlayan man na naton iya....hehehehehe...that's in contrast to some who scream foul when somebody would just even look at their crown
