BCPO on full alert for class opening
By Merlinda A. Pedrosa
Monday, June 6, 2011

THE Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) is on full alert for the opening of classes Monday to secure the safety of students in different areas of Bacolod.

BCPO Director Ricardo De la Paz said Sunday all station commanders were directed to monitor their areas of responsibility, especially in downtown and remote areas in the city.

He said the station commanders are now ready with their plans for the security measures in different schools in the city.

De la Paz added he also directed the Traffic Management Unit head Luisito Acebuche to deploy traffic enforcers in front of schools for the smooth flow of traffic.

Last Friday, De la Paz held a command conference, which was attended by the different station commanders, to draw plans for the security measures that would be implemented in their respective areas of responsibility in preparation for the opening of classes.

According to the BCPO chief, the station commanders were directed to intensify their police visibility patrol in public and private schools and universities in the city to ensure the safety of students against lawless elements.

He said that they will also designate police officers for public schools that do not have security guards, adding that checkpoint operations will be conducted near schools and universities in the city.

Phl seen as next 'dragon' in BPO industry
By Danny B. Dangcalan (The Philippine Star) Updated June 06, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (1)

BACOLOD CITY, Philippines – The information technology – business process outsourcing (IT-BPO) industry in the Philippines is growing by about 25 percent a year, and investors see the country as the “next Asian dragon,” Commissioner Ivan John Enrile Uy of the Commission on ICT (information and communications technology) said last week.

Uy said many of the world’s largest companies operate the biggest services centers in the Philippines, which is why the IT-BPO industry here continues to grow.

As of last year, the industry employed about 525,000 people and had generated more than $9.1 billion in export revenues, he added.

Uy, who was in Bacolod for the Negros Occidental First ICT Summit last Thursday, lauded Bacolod for being cited as the 3rd Next Wave City in the Philippines and Tholons International’s top 100th city in the world for outsourcing.

“That is a very, very good accomplishment for Bacolod to be ranked among the top 100th out of thousands of cities around the world,” he said.

Uy foresees that with the support of local officials the growth of the IT-BPO industry in Negros Occidental and Bacolod City will progress very fast.

Uy said it is the goal of CICT to strengthen the readiness of cities and regions outside Metro Manila to become preferred destinations for IT-BPO investors.

“With this strategy, we will decongest Metro Manila, spread economic growth opportunities to other parts of the country, and capitalize on the abundant and globally competitive workforce available in many parts of the country,” he said.

Approximately 20 percent of the IT-BPO industry is now located outside the main metropolitan areas of Manila and Cebu and this trend is expected to continue, he said.

The country is now witnessing the impact of the IT-BPO industry on rural communities, as other cities outside Metro Manila emerge as new IT-BPO hubs or the Next Wave Cities, he said.

Uy pointed out that Tholons, a renowned international research firm, in its 2010 Top 100 Cities in the World for Outsourcing ranked Manila as No. 4 and Cebu as No. 9.

The country’s Next Wave Cities that also made it on the list, are Davao - No. 69, Sta. Rosa (Laguna) - No. 88, Iloilo - No. 98 and Bacolod - No. 100.

Meanwhile, Gov. Alfredo Marañon said the construction of IT buildings on lot properties owned by the Negros Occidental provincial government is expected to create about 41,000 new BPO jobs here.

SM Prime Holdings has proposed to put up 10 buildings for BPO companies on a provincial government property along Gatuslao St. that will provide 40,000 jobs, he said, adding that the buildings will surround a convention center that SM plans to build in the area along with two hotels.

The provincial government is also establishing the Negros First CyberPark, a mixed-used complex consisting of more than 12,000 square meters of space for BPO services at a three-story building to be built at the Paglaum Sports Complex, which will provide more than 1,000 jobs, he added.

Rep. Alfredo Abelardo Benitez (Neg Occ., 3rd District), who was also at the summit, said he will help tap government resources for infrastructure and academic support for the IT-BPO industry.

Benitez also said he is supporting the efforts to create a Department of ICT, and the passage of bills to ensure data privacy and to curb cyber crime.

Monday, June 6, 2011

THE Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) is having its “PRC on the Road” at the Bacolod Pavilion Hotel and Resort at Reclamation Area on June 8 to 10, 2011.

The activity is through the efforts of Bacolod City lone district Representative Anthony Golez and PRC Regional Office 6.

Golez said that the applicants for the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) can already process their papers here.

He pointed out that this will mean big savings for the examinees, considering that they will no longer need to go to Iloilo City to process the same.

The PRC Regional Office 6 will process in Bacolod the LET applications for the September 25, 2011 exam. Deadline for filing of application will be on July 15, 2011.

The LET application processing will be held June 8 to 10.

Further, on June 9 and 10, PRC will process applications for Initial Registration of New Professionals (licensing of successful examinees in all professions).

On June 10, it will accept applications for the Renewal of Professional Identification Card (PIC) for all professionals.

Applicants can e-mail teamgolezbacolod@yahoo.com or call 4349972 for questions.

Councilor urges regulation of overloaded vehicles (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/bacolod/local-news/2011/06/06/councilor-urges-regulation-overloaded-vehicles-159605)
By Carla N. Canet
Monday, June 6, 2011

BACOLOD City Councilor Al Victor Espino proposed an ordinance preventing, controlling, abating and regulating overloaded vehicles and cargo trucks plying the city streets of Bacolod.

Under the implementing guidelines of R.A. 8794, trucks that will be found carrying excess load beyond the allowable Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) violate the Motor Vehicle User Charge (MVUC).

Espino observed that there has an increasing number of overloaded trucks and vehicles that contribute to the early deterioration of national roads and in the city streets of Bacolod City.

The Circumferential Road from Araneta Extension (South) going Bata, exit Lacson Extension (North of Pepsi Cola) appears to be sustaining the most damage wherein overloaded vehicle/cargo trucks pass in the area daily.

The provision on overloading states that no vehicle shall be permitted to proceed on the roadway if a dual wheel axle load exceeds the maximum allowable/permissible load, as prescribed by the Department of Public Works & Highways (DPWH).

The penalty shall be waived for loads exceeding the registered Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) by the tolerance of less than five percent (5%).

The penalties for such violation, particularly on overloaded cargo of 1,000 up to 1,999 kgs that exceeds the Maximum Allowable GVW are issuance of citation ticket and P1,000 fine.

Overloaded cargo of 2,000 up to 2,999 kgs that exceeds the Maximum Allowable GVW are issuance of citation ticket and P1,500 fine.

Overloaded cargo of 3,000 kgs or more that exceeds the Maximum Allowable GVW are punishable with issuance of citation of ticket and fine of P2,500.

When a driver was apprehended without a driver’s license or with an expired license, he will be penalized P1,000, aside from the other penalties provided for overloading.

The same additional penalty applies when a driver is apprehended with an expired Motor Vehicle Registration Receipt.

The enforcement and implementation of the proposed ordinance will be done by the Bacolod Traffic Authority Office’s enforcement unit together with its deputized LTO personnel.

The enforcement unit shall establish a roadside section system or weighing scale house to ensure that vehicles (trucks) apprehended may not congest the road in the implementation of the ordinance.

The apprehending officer may flag down any vehicle suspected of carrying heavy load and shall conduct an inspection by weighing the trucks on the scales to determine whether the truck exceed the limit.

Computerized print-out or other form of test result generated by the weighing equipment shall serve as prima facie evidence of violation of the ordinance.

SODAM Korean Restaurant, Bacolod City (http://retovado.blogspot.com/2011/05/sodam-korean-restaurant-bacolod.html)

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t226/cosmosnegros/bacolodresto/sodamkoreanrestobacolod.jpg

Bacolod natives, when it comes to culinary experiences, are not an adventurous lot. They are fickle when it comes to nouvelle cuisine, they are wary of ethnic foods and they have this kind of herd mentality when it comes to patronizing restaurants. This is perhaps why some hole-in-the-wall restaurants thrive despite being obscure and why some restaurants situated on the main drag fold after a few months.

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t226/cosmosnegros/bacolodresto/sodamkoreanrestobacolod1.jpg

The factor in Bacolod which can make or break a business is “word of mouth.” No flashy advertizing needed, just plain small-town grapevine method. Locals, especially the older bunch, won’t touch weird non-local food unless some friend, colleague or relative swears by it and recommends it enthusiastically. This has resulted in a food society built on reputation, honor, and group mentality. Such nuance had negatively affected reputable businesses in the past such as Bo’s Coffee Club & Krua Thai in Sorrento, Gerry’s Grill in Lacson, and Namaste Indian Restaurant in Goldenfields while propping up hard-to-find eateries such as Lord Byron’s Ribs, Tiyo Sid’s Grilled Burgers, Pamilya Grill in Eroreco (Fake Bob’s) and now… SODAM Korean Restaurant.

Sodam Korean Restaurant is a relatively quaint hole-in-the-wall chucked along Lacson Street. It’s beside Regency Inn and lies between San Antonio Abad and Lupit Churches. It’s better to take the car though, if not, a taxi will do.

Upon entering the newly decorated resto, your eyes will have to adjust at the luridly sanguinous walls, better to cloak the near-monopoly color of red chilies that will inevitably share your dining table. The furniture is typical Korean in style and was comfortable enough for a three hour fire fest.

As for the food, they are delicious as they are reasonably priced. For a full meal, one would need to shell out about ~P300 ($7.50) as we had done so but you will leave the restaurant stuffed to the gills. Their menu is adequate with English translations and a photo of each dish for those who are even English-impaired. Prices range from P100 to P600, but in our case, a whole sizzling platter of Osam Bulgogi cost about P350, enough to feed 4-5 people. Although the Bulgogi’s reddish color was a portent of hot things to come, it was tempered by the sweetness of the dish and the liters of free mineral water that the waitresses were happy to refill. Remarkably, our group survived the deliciousness of this dish that we welcomed the four other dishes with weak smiles and nervous laughs. There was an omelet with 20% chilies by dry weight, a sweet noodle dish that was deceptively hot, Bibimbap which was one of the best I’ve tried and an inexpensive P100 Korean roll (very filling).

What I do appreciate about Sodam is how the owner gave us free stuff. FREE!! First that was given was appetizers of kimchi and pickled radish (no brainer here), then the free softdrinks (yes!), then the free vegetable omelet in a skillet type of dish, and while we were sweating it out, we were given a bowl of miso-like soup.

Our friend J was ecstatic when the bowl of soup was placed in front of him saying that this was the only dish that doesn’t looked hot. Much to his chagrin, when he spooned some of the soup, a whole red chili popped up winking at him.

“Hello Clarisse,” he muttered, his eyes boring into the smiling chili pepper.

As each bite passed down our throats, we sweated bullets and yet, we can’t stop from stuffing ourselves into stupor. By the end of the meal, everything was wiped out. Except for the rice.

One of the things recommended here was their imported Korean ice cream. What better way to dislodge the capsaicin from your taste receptors than by eating lots of casein, a component of milk. We stuffed ourselves with these cold delights- a late consolation- with some getting a melon ice drop (similar to Malaysia’s potong), a fish shaped candied azuki bean – vanilla ice cream sandwich, and a couple of cookies & cream sandwiches.

That dining experience was terrific despite the piquancy of the meal. For those wishing an authentic and quality Korean meal, Sodam is the place. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

It’s Sodam hot yet Sodam good.

Palace junks plea for tariff protection of ethanol makers
Monday, 06 June 2011 00:16 Max V. de Leon / Reporter

Malacañang has junked the petition of local ethanol makers for tariff protection, which the industry has been demanding since 2009 as a condition for the infusion of about P54 billion in fresh investments for new production facilities.

Edgardo Maralit, commissioner of the Tariff Commission, said the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) Board, composed of Cabinet secretaries and chaired by the President, has already discarded the Ethanol Producers Association of the Philippines’ (Epap) petition for an increase in the ethanol tariff from the current 1 percent to 20 percent.

The Neda Board, he said, sustained the position of Trade Secretary Gregory L. Domingo and the other members of the Cabinet Committee on Tariff and Related Matters (CTRM) that it would not be proper to grant tariff protection to an industry that is not capable of supplying domestic requirements.

“We did not find it [petition] to be feasible,” Maralit told the BusinessMirror.

Thus, in the executive order (EO) that is scheduled to be issued in the next recess of Congress setting the country’s most-favored nation (MFN) rates from 2011 to 2015, imported ethanol will continue to be slapped with 1-percent duty.

Maralit said the Neda Board has already approved the final draft of the EO.

The technical committee of the CTRM is now in the process of proofreading the document.

“We are now reviewing it to make sure we do not miss anything. It is composed of over 8,900 tariff lines and every comma and semicolon are important,” Maralit said.

The EO setting the country’s new MFN rates, or tariffs imposed on products originating from outside Southeast Asia and those not covered by free-trade agreements, was supposed to take effect starting January 1, 2011, but the government could not immediately decide on the ethanol petition.

Epap had said this tariff reprieve is critical in the decision of at least 18 companies if they will proceed with their planned investments for new ethanol-production facilities totaling P54 billion.

The members of the group want the Philippines to emulate other countries, particularly Brazil and Thailand, which built high-tariff walls to show to the business community that their huge investments will be protected.

However, Domingo said granting the petition would be against the interest of the public as higher cost of imported ethanol would lead to the escalation of oil prices.

Also, he said he was informed that one of the local producers of ethanol has already stopped operation, and another one has shifted to a different product.

“They are producing only 5 percent to 10 percent of the local requirement. It is hard to give them tariff protection if their production is very small. It will considerably increase oil prices,” Domingo told reporters earlier.

Phl seen as next 'dragon' in BPO industry
By Danny B. Dangcalan (The Philippine Star) Updated June 06, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (1)

BACOLOD CITY, Philippines – The information technology – business process outsourcing (IT-BPO) industry in the Philippines is growing by about 25 percent a year, and investors see the country as the “next Asian dragon,” Commissioner Ivan John Enrile Uy of the Commission on ICT (information and communications technology) said last week.

Uy said many of the world’s largest companies operate the biggest services centers in the Philippines, which is why the IT-BPO industry here continues to grow.

As of last year, the industry employed about 525,000 people and had generated more than $9.1 billion in export revenues, he added.

Uy, who was in Bacolod for the Negros Occidental First ICT Summit last Thursday, lauded Bacolod for being cited as the 3rd Next Wave City in the Philippines and Tholons International’s top 100th city in the world for outsourcing.

“That is a very, very good accomplishment for Bacolod to be ranked among the top 100th out of thousands of cities around the world,” he said.

Uy foresees that with the support of local officials the growth of the IT-BPO industry in Negros Occidental and Bacolod City will progress very fast.

Uy said it is the goal of CICT to strengthen the readiness of cities and regions outside Metro Manila to become preferred destinations for IT-BPO investors.

“With this strategy, we will decongest Metro Manila, spread economic growth opportunities to other parts of the country, and capitalize on the abundant and globally competitive workforce available in many parts of the country,” he said.

Approximately 20 percent of the IT-BPO industry is now located outside the main metropolitan areas of Manila and Cebu and this trend is expected to continue, he said.

The country is now witnessing the impact of the IT-BPO industry on rural communities, as other cities outside Metro Manila emerge as new IT-BPO hubs or the Next Wave Cities, he said.

Uy pointed out that Tholons, a renowned international research firm, in its 2010 Top 100 Cities in the World for Outsourcing ranked Manila as No. 4 and Cebu as No. 9.

The country’s Next Wave Cities that also made it on the list, are Davao - No. 69, Sta. Rosa (Laguna) - No. 88, Iloilo - No. 98 and Bacolod - No. 100.

Meanwhile, Gov. Alfredo Marañon said the construction of IT buildings on lot properties owned by the Negros Occidental provincial government is expected to create about 41,000 new BPO jobs here.

SM Prime Holdings has proposed to put up 10 buildings for BPO companies on a provincial government property along Gatuslao St. that will provide 40,000 jobs, he said, adding that the buildings will surround a convention center that SM plans to build in the area along with two hotels.

The provincial government is also establishing the Negros First CyberPark, a mixed-used complex consisting of more than 12,000 square meters of space for BPO services at a three-story building to be built at the Paglaum Sports Complex, which will provide more than 1,000 jobs, he added.

Rep. Alfredo Abelardo Benitez (Neg Occ., 3rd District), who was also at the summit, said he will help tap government resources for infrastructure and academic support for the IT-BPO industry.

Benitez also said he is supporting the efforts to create a Department of ICT, and the passage of bills to ensure data privacy and to curb cyber crime.

MRI ROADSHOW WITH SIEMENS
May 13,2011 16:26:41

The Dr. Pablo O. Torre Memorial Hospital (DPOTMH) showcased its 1.5T MRI in a roadshow to Iloilo City last April 8, 2011. Medical practitioners from Iloilo and nearby areas were invited to a dinner where DPOTMH presented the capabilities of its 1.5 Tesla MRI. The event was done in coordination with Siemens as part of the hospital’s strategy to market its services to doctors outside the Negros province, specifically its 1.5T MRI which is considered the fastest and most powerful in the region. Complementing DPOTMH’s own set of Imaging doctors and experts, Siemens flew in their own specialist, Mr. Ewe Steuck, Business Development Manager for MR Asean Cluster, to help the doctors of Iloilo better understand the benefits of having a fast and powerful MRI to assist them in their diagnosis.

The Sales / Business Development office of the Marketing Division is scheduled to hold similar events and forays in the near future to help promote the services of the hospital

I am hoping having these requirements:

Component city to highly-urbanized city: When Batas Pambansa Bilang 337 (Local Government Code of 1983)[13] was in force from 1983 to 1991, a city that had at least 150,000 inhabitants and an income of at least PHP 30 million was declared highly urbanized by the Minister of Local Government within thirty days of the city having met the requirement. The cities of Butuan (1985), Cagayan de Oro (1983), General Santos (1988), Iligan (1983), Lucena (1991), Mandaue (1991), Olongapo (1983), and Zamboanga (1983) became HUCs in this manner.

I hope some of our component cities will be elevated to HUC's.

Phl seen as next 'dragon' in BPO industry
By Danny B. Dangcalan (The Philippine Star) Updated June 06, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (1)

BACOLOD CITY, Philippines – The information technology – business process outsourcing (IT-BPO) industry in the Philippines is growing by about 25 percent a year, and investors see the country as the “next Asian dragon,” Commissioner Ivan John Enrile Uy of the Commission on ICT (information and communications technology) said last week.

Uy said many of the world’s largest companies operate the biggest services centers in the Philippines, which is why the IT-BPO industry here continues to grow.

As of last year, the industry employed about 525,000 people and had generated more than $9.1 billion in export revenues, he added.

Uy, who was in Bacolod for the Negros Occidental First ICT Summit last Thursday, lauded Bacolod for being cited as the 3rd Next Wave City in the Philippines and Tholons International’s top 100th city in the world for outsourcing.

“That is a very, very good accomplishment for Bacolod to be ranked among the top 100th out of thousands of cities around the world,” he said.

Uy foresees that with the support of local officials the growth of the IT-BPO industry in Negros Occidental and Bacolod City will progress very fast.

Uy said it is the goal of CICT to strengthen the readiness of cities and regions outside Metro Manila to become preferred destinations for IT-BPO investors.

“With this strategy, we will decongest Metro Manila, spread economic growth opportunities to other parts of the country, and capitalize on the abundant and globally competitive workforce available in many parts of the country,” he said.

Approximately 20 percent of the IT-BPO industry is now located outside the main metropolitan areas of Manila and Cebu and this trend is expected to continue, he said.

The country is now witnessing the impact of the IT-BPO industry on rural communities, as other cities outside Metro Manila emerge as new IT-BPO hubs or the Next Wave Cities, he said.

Uy pointed out that Tholons, a renowned international research firm, in its 2010 Top 100 Cities in the World for Outsourcing ranked Manila as No. 4 and Cebu as No. 9.

The country’s Next Wave Cities that also made it on the list, are Davao - No. 69, Sta. Rosa (Laguna) - No. 88, Iloilo - No. 98 and Bacolod - No. 100.

Meanwhile, Gov. Alfredo Marañon said the construction of IT buildings on lot properties owned by the Negros Occidental provincial government is expected to create about 41,000 new BPO jobs here.

SM Prime Holdings has proposed to put up 10 buildings for BPO companies on a provincial government property along Gatuslao St. that will provide 40,000 jobs, he said, adding that the buildings will surround a convention center that SM plans to build in the area along with two hotels.

The provincial government is also establishing the Negros First CyberPark, a mixed-used complex consisting of more than 12,000 square meters of space for BPO services at a three-story building to be built at the Paglaum Sports Complex, which will provide more than 1,000 jobs, he added.

Rep. Alfredo Abelardo Benitez (Neg Occ., 3rd District), who was also at the summit, said he will help tap government resources for infrastructure and academic support for the IT-BPO industry.

Benitez also said he is supporting the efforts to create a Department of ICT, and the passage of bills to ensure data privacy and to curb cyber crime.

Bad news indeed sir.. The government should protect the Biofuels industry to encourage more investments . How could it supply domestic requirements if their are no plants producing it due to no investments ??? Simple Logic...

Also, the govt should now strengthen the Biofuels industry as an alternative to sugar farmers who will be severely affected by the impending zero tariff on sugar come 2015 . Imagine Brazilian sugar coming in at P 800/ bag..

If only the government looks after the interest of its people ......

bad news for San Carlos Bioenergy and Roxol.....:(

Palace junks plea for tariff protection of ethanol makers
Monday, 06 June 2011 00:16 Max V. de Leon / Reporter

Malacañang has junked the petition of local ethanol makers for tariff protection, which the industry has been demanding since 2009 as a condition for the infusion of about P54 billion in fresh investments for new production facilities.

Edgardo Maralit, commissioner of the Tariff Commission, said the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) Board, composed of Cabinet secretaries and chaired by the President, has already discarded the Ethanol Producers Association of the Philippines’ (Epap) petition for an increase in the ethanol tariff from the current 1 percent to 20 percent.

The Neda Board, he said, sustained the position of Trade Secretary Gregory L. Domingo and the other members of the Cabinet Committee on Tariff and Related Matters (CTRM) that it would not be proper to grant tariff protection to an industry that is not capable of supplying domestic requirements.

“We did not find it [petition] to be feasible,” Maralit told the BusinessMirror.

Thus, in the executive order (EO) that is scheduled to be issued in the next recess of Congress setting the country’s most-favored nation (MFN) rates from 2011 to 2015, imported ethanol will continue to be slapped with 1-percent duty.

Maralit said the Neda Board has already approved the final draft of the EO.

The technical committee of the CTRM is now in the process of proofreading the document.

“We are now reviewing it to make sure we do not miss anything. It is composed of over 8,900 tariff lines and every comma and semicolon are important,” Maralit said.

The EO setting the country’s new MFN rates, or tariffs imposed on products originating from outside Southeast Asia and those not covered by free-trade agreements, was supposed to take effect starting January 1, 2011, but the government could not immediately decide on the ethanol petition.

Epap had said this tariff reprieve is critical in the decision of at least 18 companies if they will proceed with their planned investments for new ethanol-production facilities totaling P54 billion.

The members of the group want the Philippines to emulate other countries, particularly Brazil and Thailand, which built high-tariff walls to show to the business community that their huge investments will be protected.

However, Domingo said granting the petition would be against the interest of the public as higher cost of imported ethanol would lead to the escalation of oil prices.

Also, he said he was informed that one of the local producers of ethanol has already stopped operation, and another one has shifted to a different product.

“They are producing only 5 percent to 10 percent of the local requirement. It is hard to give them tariff protection if their production is very small. It will considerably increase oil prices,” Domingo told reporters earlier.

Fiesta sa NGC’ kicks off

BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO

The weeklong Independence Day celebration in Bacolod City opened yesterday morning with the launching of the “Fiesta sa NGC” led by Mayor Evelio Leonardia at the Bacolod City Government Center grounds.

The “Fiesta sa NGC”, a three-in-one celebration to commemorate the 113th Independence Day, the 73rd Charter Anniversary, and the 150th birthday of national hero, Jose Rizal, will run from June 6 to 20, 2011, with the theme, “Kalayaan: Paninindigan ng Bayan”.

The program yesterday started with the flag-raising ceremony followed by a cultural presentation that featured song and dance numbers from the Department of Social Services and Development, City Tourism Office, Department of Education and the DJP Trio, “ Pilipinas Got Talent” finalist.

The opening salvo was capped with the release of red white and blue balloons at the government center grounds.

Leonardia said June is probably the most historical and significant month for Bacolod because of the three major events.

In his message, he recapped the history of Bacolod when it became a city on June 18, 1938 and was inaugurated on October 19. He also touched on the transfer of Bacolod’s Charter Day celebration from October 19 to June 18.

Leonardia said “We would like to give focus to June 18 because our attention has been called by historical data that Bacolod was created by virtue of Commonwealth Act 326 on June 18, the signing date of the charter.”

The actual transition of the Charter Day celebration from October 19 to June 18, will be implemented next year, he said.

Leonardia said “We felt that we should start the actual Charter Day celebration as early as now to correct our history.”

But whatever may happen, the MassKara Festival will continue to be the number one tourist attraction of Bacolod and will be held on the third week of October as it has always been held, he said. However, they will continue to celebrate Oct. 19 as a celebration of the inauguration of Bacolod, he added.

Meanwhile, Councilor Mona Dia Jardin, committee chairman of the 113th Independence Day celebration, said they hope to have a larger and longer human flag during the Independence Day parade on June 12 this year.

She said they now have 170 Visayan Maritime Academy students who will wear their white uniforms along with 600 scholars and 600 summer jobbers of the Public Employment Services Office of the city government who will wear red and blue shirts to form the human flag.

They are also requesting the city employees to wear their blue and red shirts to help them form a larger human flag.

Leonardia said they will consider making Independence Day celebration another tourist attraction and make it like BacoLaodiat or the MassKara Festival, so that Bacolod will become a destination during the Independence Day.

He is also inviting the public to attend the activities on June 12 since Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero will be the guest speaker during the program at the plaza that will start at 7 a.m.

Leonardia said he is honored that Escudero chose to come to Bacolod to commemorate Independence Day out of the 138 cities, 80 provinces and 1,484 municipalities in the country.*CGS

negros is now planting sweet sorghum as a replacement to sugarcane! damu na nga towns ang nagatanum sini :)

And here's news about sweet sorgum...

First Sweet Sorghum Business Summit held

THE Department of Agriculture (DA)-Bureau of Agricultural Research in collaboration with the University of the Philippines-Los Baños held the First Sweet Sorghum Business Summit and Plantation Showcase at the O Hotel in Bacolod City on June 1, tapping bioethanol plant proprietors, the business sector, and local government units of Negros Occidental.

Themed: “Unmasking the Potential of Sweet Sorghum for a Competitive Business Enterprise”, the summit hopes to showcase sweet sorghum as one of the competitive feedstocks for bioethanol production with a very large potential for business ventures through exhibits, technical discussions, and plantation tours.

Gov. Alfredo G. Marañon, Jr. said the summit is very timely as the provincial government is maximizing its diversification efforts in line with the food security and agricultural productivity agenda of the provincial government.

He added that the sweet sorghum industry is needed to produce renewable energy to supply energy demand in the province and can be an answer to the rising cost of fuel.

Also present during the activity were DA Assistant Secretary Edilberto de Luna, Councilor Carl Lopez of Bacolod City who represented Mayor Evelio Leonardia, Executive Assistant to the Governor Nonong Verdeflor, and Negros Occ. Provincial Agriculturist Igmedio Tabianan, among others.(Capitol)/PN

Guys... good pm.. I am confident this project will materialize soon..
A new hospital coming?
t was in the 60s. A not very well known businessman then, lawyer Simplicio A. Palanca worked out to reclaim the foreshore areas of Bacolod.

It became a big controversy. While there were those who supported Palanca, many suspected him of some political or personal motives. He was opposed left and right, especially by those who owned real estate subdivisions.

But, with single-mindedness he went on. He also proved he had no ambition to dominate Bacolod politics with his candidates losing the elections.

He proved to all and sundry that his aim has been to improve Bacolod. Our problem before was a port. The Negros Navigation port in Banago was too far.

****

In all those years we always supported Sammy Palanca. We saw his sincerity, his dedication to pursue and bring to fruition the projects that he had in mind.

We even feel and believe up to now that if there is one fellow who deserves to have a statue in Bacolod, the most deserving is Sammy Palanca.

The others are politicians whose political motives and the desire to dominate Bacolod cheapened the services.

But Sammy is humble. I brought up once the idea of a statue or getting somebody to write his biography. He was not sold to the idea.

“It’s enough that I serve Bacolod,” he told me once.

***

The other day, I dropped by his office after not having seen him for many months. He’s 89, he said, but he looked healthy except for some problem in the hearing.

After all these projects you have, especially making the reclamation area a business hub of the city, what else do you have in mind? I asked him.

He said, he was working on the project of a hospital. I recall many years ago he already had this among his blueprints for improving Bacolod.

But this will start next year, he said.

I agreed. The city needs more hospitals with the overcrowding in the provincial hospital. We have many private hospitals but the cost is beyond the reach of many of our people.

If this plan is realized, and there is no reason it cannot be realized, giving the single-mindedness of Sammy Palanca, Palanca deserves a statue in the city which cannot be put up now while he is still around.

Meanwhile, let’s pray for his good health. He can bring in many more improvements for Bacolod.

Another feedstock for alcohol production is Cassava and DBI has already started using it . The technology they use is from South Korea. Problem though is the local supply.

This is good news.....I think supply would not be a problem if the growers would be assured of a ready buyer and a fair price, or the miller could go into contract growing especially with land reform beneficiaries to wean them away from planting sugarcane on their one hectare land.

A new hospital coming?

It was in the 60s. A not very well known businessman then, lawyer Simplicio A. Palanca worked out to reclaim the foreshore areas of Bacolod.

It became a big controversy. While there were those who supported Palanca, many suspected him of some political or personal motives. He was opposed left and right, especially by those who owned real estate subdivisions.

But, with single-mindedness he went on. He also proved he had no ambition to dominate Bacolod politics with his candidates losing the elections.

He proved to all and sundry that his aim has been to improve Bacolod. Our problem before was a port. The Negros Navigation port in Banago was too far.

****

In all those years we always supported Sammy Palanca. We saw his sincerity, his dedication to pursue and bring to fruition the projects that he had in mind.

We even feel and believe up to now that if there is one fellow who deserves to have a statue in Bacolod, the most deserving is Sammy Palanca.

The others are politicians whose political motives and the desire to dominate Bacolod cheapened the services.

But Sammy is humble. I brought up once the idea of a statue or getting somebody to write his biography. He was not sold to the idea.

“It’s enough that I serve Bacolod,” he told me once.

***

The other day, I dropped by his office after not having seen him for many months. He’s 89, he said, but he looked healthy except for some problem in the hearing.

After all these projects you have, especially making the reclamation area a business hub of the city, what else do you have in mind? I asked him.

He said, he was working on the project of a hospital. I recall many years ago he already had this among his blueprints for improving Bacolod.

But this will start next year, he said.

I agreed. The city needs more hospitals with the overcrowding in the provincial hospital. We have many private hospitals but the cost is beyond the reach of many of our people.

If this plan is realized, and there is no reason it cannot be realized, giving the single-mindedness of Sammy Palanca, Palanca deserves a statue in the city which cannot be put up now while he is still around.

Meanwhile, let’s pray for his good health. He can bring in many more improvements for Bacolod.

Another solution nga nakita ko diri migs is if we amend our constitution to remove the 60/40 economic provision. That way damo nga direct foreign investment ang makasulod sa country ta, and that will help not just the bioethanol industry, but other industries in pinas as well. Kun damo inflow sang investments, mas makapatindog ta nagmi nga infrastructures for our industries and mas mangin competitive kita sa global market.

Well, Pnoys move is more on Politics rather than as how it is viewed by an Economist. Obviously you would see the disparity. Who is hands-on on this aspect opf governance, whose not. Everyone has his own agenda, and ofcourse, it would be established without seeking to overdrive the latter.

^^this is the latest info we can get of the status of the kabankalan domestic airport. this was published last april 15, 2011. the 1.5 billion counterpart from the national government has already been endorsed by the RDC-6 recently to be included in next year's budget. here....

N KABANKALAN
P50M budget cut won’t affect airport
BY GILBERT BAYORAN

The expected reduction by about P50 million of the annual Internal Revenue Allotment share of Kabankalan City as a result of the creation of 16 more cities in the country, will not deter it from pursuing its P200-million airport project that is now ongoing, Mayor Isidro Zayco said yesterday.

The 104-hectare airport being built in Brgy. Hilamonan, Kabankalan City, is targeted for completion in 2014 and projected to have a 2-kilometer runway. However, Zayco said bad weather in the past months caused the delay in the leveling of the airport runway.

Zayco also said they are now using the heavy equipment of the Army’s 542nd Engineering Construction Battalion in the leveling of the runway, at less expense. “We spend only for fuel and honorarium of operators of the equipment,” he added.

Kabankalan City has already secured a copy of the airport pre-feasibility study from the Department of Transportation and Communication that could be used as basis for seeking national funding.

Zayco said he was told by Rep. Mercedes Alvarez (Neg. Occ., 6th District) that she is coordinating with DOTC for help in the construction of the Kabankalan airport.

The city government of Kabankalan and the provincial government are jointly funding the airport project, while DOTC gave Kabankalan the navigational equipment from the old Bacolod City airport.

The DOTC pre-feasibility study also showed that the Kabankalan airport can handle two domestic flights a day, although it will initially serve light planes.

The Kabankalan City Domestic Airport will be the second airport in Negros Occidental, after Bacolod-Silay City International Airport, and the third airport on Negros island.

Zayco admitted that the P50 million in IRA is a big loss to the city of Kabankalan. He, however, said it will not have an effect on the salaries and wages of the city hall employees, and not much on the delivery of basic social services, since what is needed is only a re-alignment of the budget.

Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. said the creation of 16 more cities will mean about P600 million less in the budgets of the 13 cities in Negros Occidental, including Bacolod City.*GPB

Sure it will be announced, as of the Moment, it is still being levelled, the pace is slow, as Kabankalan has a reputation to stand:" They are not into Loans". They Prefer to Locally funded Projects, whatever the National Government can provide, they accept, but putting Kabankalan's name in the list who Loans for Projects, very unlikely.

Sure na sure ko by this time, pwede na guid ka HUC status ang Kabankalan kay I think lapaw na 200,000 ang population ka ciudad. Ang stat na 190,000 sang 2007 pa na e.

I even have a hunch that Kabankalan City can even have as much as 250,000 therefore qualifying it for a lone district.

Tani madayun ni tanan very soon with the redistricting of Bacolod City to two districts as well para bira bira pa guid ang pag-uswag ka Negros. :D

and about Bacolod

Look up, the skyline’s changing

Talk about the new landmarks of Bacolod and you cannot help but notice one important thing that perhaps we, who have always been here in the city, have failed to notice and appreciate. The skyline is changing.

http://www.lifestylesbacolod.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/pjp1.jpg
John Paul II Tower that celebrates the historic visit of the previous pope is the new landmark of Bacolod reaching to the heavens.*

You feel that big time when you go to the reclaimed area where, just four or five years ago, you had a seemingly endless sea of green, the wild grass waving here and there, and an unobstructed view of the sea. Not too long ago, you watched the sunset from benches in what we called the Sea Wall, the edge of the sea, where we now have the line of buildings that include Police Precinct I near the public plaza. First to obstruct the sunset scene was the BAYS Center, which partly hid the view and then, SM City which forever drew a curtain from end to end of the reclaimed area in downtown. Now, you have to move closer to see the sea, and there, rising like a watchman, is the John Paul II Tower, another recently-risen landmark that can be included in the new Bacolod brag book.

Elsewhere in the city, you find these structures shooting upwards, reconfiguring not just the landscape, but the skyscape as well; driving down south you see the sprawling Planta Centro Hotel and Residences. A little farther, from what used to be an area of shanties and lean-tos have risen a huge chunk of concrete that is the Gaisano City Mall.

Still going south, farther away from the old airport is the South Square, another cluster of buildings rising to meet the new commercial and business needs of bustling Bacolod.

http://www.lifestylesbacolod.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/pjp2.jpg
High-rise swimming in one of the newest structures to shoot up the Bacolod skyline: The Chalet.*

Of course Lacson Street in the heart of Bacolod hosts the very familiar towers of Jollibee and McDonalds. But while the face-lifting of this Tourism Strip continues on ground level – two hotels coming up, another resto chain opening soon – the skyline here is still ruled by the old PNB and to some extent, the DBP building across the lagoon. L’Fisher Hotel, the one that had taken the first bold step in raising the city’s hotel standards in 1990, had just finished its own renovation and has unveiled a new wing.

In this new wing you can go to The Chalet several floors up there, where you can swim, or shoot the breeze and see the city’s expanse – the ports and shorelines in the West and the building tops in the East and South.

Along North drive is the Riverside Medical Center, already an architectural landmark when it first opened in the 70s, and now complemented by two relatively new structures beside it.

http://www.lifestylesbacolod.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/pjp3.jpg
Changing the landscape - and skyscape of the city are recent developments the Chalet of L'Fisher.*

Up North is the imposing building housing the call center Convergys, beside which another one has risen. Yet another building, reputedly Bacolod’s tallest when it is done, is rising fast by its side.

In case you haven’t realized it yet, these are not tentative developments. These are concrete structures that have forever altered our landscape and is now changing our skyline.

For the aggressive and business-minded, these are exciting times for opportunities. For the sentimental, we can only freeze frame the present in our photographs and memoirs. We are, inevitably, losing the Bacolod that we grew up in. The future is taking over.*

Topic: Kabankalan City as an HUC

http://www.visayandailystar.com/2010/August/03/topstory5.htm
http://www.sunstar.com.ph/bacolod/guv-kabankalan-can-become-highly-urbanized-city

Sure na sure ko by this time, pwede na guid ka HUC status ang Kabankalan kay I think lapaw na 200,000 ang population ka ciudad. Ang stat na 190,000 sang 2007 pa na e.

I even have a hunch that Kabankalan City can even have as much as 250,000 therefore qualifying it for a lone district.

Tani madayun ni tanan very soon with the redistricting of Bacolod City to two districts as well para bira bira pa guid ang pag-uswag ka Negros. :D

Baw indi gid ko ka entra sa discussion sa fb kay wala ko acct.....anyway, I'm bullish for Kabankalan, hope maka qualify sila as huc para ma duha na ang iya sang neg. occ....:cheers:

Ang pag construct sang new na market to a different location after nasunog ang old then ang pag construct pa gid sang ila na new na city hall to a different location. Those two major projects speaks of how they envision sang future sg Kabankalan. Kung baga gin decongest ang syudad since the market and the city are located on different locations. T malapta ang development.

Ang majority of the area including the peak sang Mt. Silay is Cadiz City. The rest are shared borders of Victorias, EB Magalona and Sagay

These four places were considered for Regional Center of the forseen Negros Island Region:

Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental
Mabinay, Negros Oriental
San Carlos City, Negros Occidental
Canlaon City, Negros Oriental

:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

In my opinion galing, Kabankalan City is the most ready to be a Regional Center since it already has a strong political and economic backbone being a 1st Class City and a major hub in Southern Negros. Mag HUC na siya kag matapos pa guid ang airport, undeniably Kabankalan City na guid siguro ang mangin Regional Capital for sure when the Negros Island Region happens. :D

Agree ko di sa imo. considering sang accessibility nya sa 2 ka province. ARa sya sa middle. F your from San Carlos kag mapa Kabankalan ka it would take less than 5 hours makaabot ka na. Same thing if your from Dumaguete or Sipalay. Strategic gid ang location sang Kabankalan.

Seeing Kabankalan, it feels like home since the city looks like where Bacolod was a decade ago. Super asenso na guid! I was surprised to see Kabankalan last 2010, it looked so unfamiliar with developments around it. I wonder how Kabankalan would look like when riding a plane in the future on a future flight from Manila or Cebu? With the opening of the airport on 2014, this city is posed to be the gateway of Southern Negros much to the benefit of the tourist attractions that need a lift. :D

Kabankalan gid migs ang most likely. then butangan da special area for the Regional Seat and Offices at the boundary of Kabankalan and Mabinay...hehehehe

^^ahehe i've been there last 2009.. grabeh ang pg.boom didtong lugara... how bout putting canlaon as a regional center of the island... IMO

Canlaon? yep its at the center but its not that very accessible with the condition of some roads, seasonal NPA infestation at the upper areas and geological hazards (volcanic eruption. landslides)
