Pera man palan so nag atender kan met tabi?

Good day, SSC Legazpeeps!

Last night, we had our first regular meet at Gateway Mall, Cubao, QC. I say, “first regular meet” because we are going to have several meets in the future hopefully to realize and forward our ideals for our province. But don’t worry guys; our meets will always be informal and casual, nothing formal actually. Just having some fun discussing our ideas (like we always do :)).

So far, the meet was a success and it was, as Dex said, a very productive night! :) :) :) We are looking forward to meeting all of you in the future!

We had “minutes of the meeting,” by the way, and I was the “secretary” of the night. I had fun scribbling down all their ideas, particularly, Pading Romy’s, who’s energy levels were very high despite the brevity of his stay. He had so many good ones that I enjoyed writing them down with no amount of stress at all. Here are our agenda last night:

Tourism

*Food Tourism

1. There must be high quality in our pasalubongs.
> standardize/regulate food preparation.
>set up an umbrella agency that would see to it that our “pasalubongs” are of good quality and taste.

2. Put up a specific area or place where everything Albayano is featured.
> “Pasalubong Center”

3. Market Albay as a “Culinary Destination”

4. Promote the preparation of Authentic Albayano Dishes> yum yum!
> maybe we should make a list of these authentic albayano dishes

*Cultural Heritage & History

1. Re Magayon festival
> “naging Beer Fest na sana” – Pading Romy
> lacks identity – what really is it about?
>merge with Ibalong Festival
>schedule: on the period with the least weather disturbance

2. Heritage Site
> specify, protect and promote our pre-war buildings.

3. Publishing of a Coffee Table Book
> a book covering the past (history), present, and future (ideals) of Albay.
> we need the support of stakeholders and local government entities to fund this project.

*General

1. Support from Local Government Entities
>as observed by us, the private institutions are faster than the local government entities in marketing the city and the province. In fact, as what Pading Romy said, Misibis Bay almost overlooks the fact that it is located in Albay in promoting itself.
>we believe that it will be more beneficial to the tourism industry to merge Albay Tourism Council with Legazpi Tourism Council. > I think we need to know the organizational structure of these councils too and maybe, just maybe, ask if we could have our own representative in them.


2. Revive the websites of Legazpi City and Albay Province.

3. Find out the real identity of Albay and market it to balikbayans and other tourists
>What common element do we have that makes us Albayanos? What is our equivalent to Cebu’s Bisdak?
>On the other side of the coin, what catchy phrase that sums up Albay is needed to lure and attract tourists to visit us?
>What is Albay? What makes it different?

4. Organize Tourism Package
>Currently there are no vans that would take up tourists to different places in the province (similar to that of Palawan)
> “masamok”

Future Actions Agreed Upon

1. Online Manifesto
> we will make an online manifesto covering our grievances and ideals
> first, we will post it on the internet, particularly on the Facebook Pages of Legazpi City and Pading Romy
> then, gather signatures >> how nga pala?
> send to Albay Tourism Council

2. Find an avenue to air our grievances where the local officials would sit with us
> specifically, the LGUs of Albay, Legazpi and Daraga.
> we still don’t have a specific plan for this. Any ideas on how we can do this?

3. Creation of a Blog
> Compilation of all our ideas and our posts here in SSC so that it will be easier to search for, more convenient to read, and definitely to avoid being buried down in archives.
> Categories/Tags (for “easy search” purposes): (1) Tourism in General; (2) Culture, Languages and History; (3) Authentic Foods & Food Tourism; (4) Urban Planning; (5) Transportation; (6) Waste Management; (7) Financial, Administrative & Economic Matters; (8) News Update; and (9) Grievances. Any more ideas? Feel free to add...
> no name yet. Dex and I agreed that Pading Romy, who is an expert in marketing, would be the best one to think of a name, one that would entice everyone to visit and comment on, particularly Albayanos.
> this will be created on blogspot.com so that people don’t have to register their names in order to comment (less reluctance... heheh...)

4. We will send a letter to politicians requesting for an audience.
> in the meantime, we are thinking of Cong. Bichara as the first politician to talk to.

Next Meet

Originally, we decided that our next meet will be on the date when garycooper and Cong. Bichara are both available. But then, after Pading Romy and Joks left us for a concert of Sessionistas, we decided that the next meet will be on the date when the draft of the blog is already done and ready for suggestions and ideas.

We have not come up with exact date and time of the next meet yet but Lola Felice suggests that our place will be in one of those restaurants at Pioneers, Mandaluyong City (near Boni Ave. Stn). She said, as much as possible, dapat arani kina garycooper... heheh...

In the meantime, I am encouraging everyone to join Skyscrapercity Albay on Facebook... :) Also, please send me your numbers and e-mail adds through PM. We need a directory to contact you...

Enthusiastically,

Mond87 / yvette29

Congratulations guys, at least in such a so short period of meeting , you've done a lot and numerous brilliant ideas come up. Hope to see the output on these agendum in the days to come.
So nice, Bravo to SSC Legazpi and Albay Province.:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

Marhay man talaga an may mga tulay, bridgeway na arog kaini, facil na sa mga shoppers o parasaod, pasiring sa sarong building. Tabaco City pioneered this in Bicol.
While Daraga pioneered also the Overpass.
An apod kaiyan, tulay na mayong river .
So mga salog ta , daing tulay. hehehehe

A post in Facebook says it's being developed into a playground for children in surrounding barangays (Tinago, Rizal, etc.)...Sayang man nanggad, nakatiwangwang su lote, pakinabangan lamang kan mga aki. Kuntana permanente nang gibuhon na greenbelt pero dapat well-maintained, properly lighted, and regularly patrolled especially at night so that it will not be taken over by pimps/prostitutes, drug pushers, and other criminal elements.

Iu po. Magayon man nanggad ini. Haloy na iyan na nakatiwangwang na lote na yan. Pero dapat pagayunon man ninda. Dapat su magayon ang pagka landscape. Dakul pa man nanggad jan sa may tanchuling an mga nakatiwangwang na daga na dapat madevelop.

Early this afternoon...I hope it's a park and not another building...

I would like to notify fellow forumers on this thread that my mother passed away on Thursday, February 3. She died of cancer and pneumonia. She was 69. I posted here that she was going to undergo an operation in 2008. She survived the operation but got sick again in 2009 and had been sick until she died on Thursday. It's a huge relief she had rested. Thanks to to those who expressed their concern back then. Interment will be this Friday at Daraga Catholic Cemetery.

My deepest condolence Guru on the demise of your mother.

Good day, SSC Legazpeeps!

Last night, we had our first regular meet at Gateway Mall, Cubao, QC. I say, “first regular meet” because we are going to have several meets in the future hopefully to realize and forward our ideals for our province. But don’t worry guys; our meets will always be informal and casual, nothing formal actually. Just having some fun discussing our ideas (like we always do :)).

So far, the meet was a success and it was, as Dex said, a very productive night! :) :) :) We are looking forward to meeting all of you in the future!

We had “minutes of the meeting,” by the way, and I was the “secretary” of the night. I had fun scribbling down all their ideas, particularly, Pading Romy’s, who’s energy levels were very high despite the brevity of his stay. He had so many good ones that I enjoyed writing them down with no amount of stress at all. Here are our agenda last night:

Tourism

*Food Tourism

1. There must be high quality in our pasalubongs.
> standardize/regulate food preparation.
>set up an umbrella agency that would see to it that our “pasalubongs” are of good quality and taste.

2. Put up a specific area or place where everything Albayano is featured.
> “Pasalubong Center”

3. Market Albay as a “Culinary Destination”

4. Promote the preparation of Authentic Albayano Dishes> yum yum!
> maybe we should make a list of these authentic albayano dishes

*Cultural Heritage & History

1. Re Magayon festival
> “naging Beer Fest na sana” – Pading Romy
> lacks identity – what really is it about?
>merge with Ibalong Festival
>schedule: on the period with the least weather disturbance

2. Heritage Site
> specify, protect and promote our pre-war buildings.

3. Publishing of a Coffee Table Book
> a book covering the past (history), present, and future (ideals) of Albay.
> we need the support of stakeholders and local government entities to fund this project.

*General

1. Support from Local Government Entities
>as observed by us, the private institutions are faster than the local government entities in marketing the city and the province. In fact, as what Pading Romy said, Misibis Bay almost overlooks the fact that it is located in Albay in promoting itself.
>we believe that it will be more beneficial to the tourism industry to merge Albay Tourism Council with Legazpi Tourism Council. > I think we need to know the organizational structure of these councils too and maybe, just maybe, ask if we could have our own representative in them.


2. Revive the websites of Legazpi City and Albay Province.

3. Find out the real identity of Albay and market it to balikbayans and other tourists
>What common element do we have that makes us Albayanos? What is our equivalent to Cebu’s Bisdak?
>On the other side of the coin, what catchy phrase that sums up Albay is needed to lure and attract tourists to visit us?
>What is Albay? What makes it different?

4. Organize Tourism Package
>Currently there are no vans that would take up tourists to different places in the province (similar to that of Palawan)
> “masamok”

Future Actions Agreed Upon

1. Online Manifesto
> we will make an online manifesto covering our grievances and ideals
> first, we will post it on the internet, particularly on the Facebook Pages of Legazpi City and Pading Romy
> then, gather signatures >> how nga pala?
> send to Albay Tourism Council

2. Find an avenue to air our grievances where the local officials would sit with us
> specifically, the LGUs of Albay, Legazpi and Daraga.
> we still don’t have a specific plan for this. Any ideas on how we can do this?

3. Creation of a Blog
> Compilation of all our ideas and our posts here in SSC so that it will be easier to search for, more convenient to read, and definitely to avoid being buried down in archives.
> Categories/Tags (for “easy search” purposes): (1) Tourism in General; (2) Culture, Languages and History; (3) Authentic Foods & Food Tourism; (4) Urban Planning; (5) Transportation; (6) Waste Management; (7) Financial, Administrative & Economic Matters; (8) News Update; and (9) Grievances. Any more ideas? Feel free to add...
> no name yet. Dex and I agreed that Pading Romy, who is an expert in marketing, would be the best one to think of a name, one that would entice everyone to visit and comment on, particularly Albayanos.
> this will be created on blogspot.com so that people don’t have to register their names in order to comment (less reluctance... heheh...)

4. We will send a letter to politicians requesting for an audience.
> in the meantime, we are thinking of Cong. Bichara as the first politician to talk to.

Next Meet

Originally, we decided that our next meet will be on the date when garycooper and Cong. Bichara are both available. But then, after Pading Romy and Joks left us for a concert of Sessionistas, we decided that the next meet will be on the date when the draft of the blog is already done and ready for suggestions and ideas.

We have not come up with exact date and time of the next meet yet but Lola Felice suggests that our place will be in one of those restaurants at Pioneers, Mandaluyong City (near Boni Ave. Stn). She said, as much as possible, dapat arani kina garycooper... heheh...

In the meantime, I am encouraging everyone to join Skyscrapercity Albay on Facebook... :) Also, please send me your numbers and e-mail adds through PM. We need a directory to contact you...

Enthusiastically,

Mond87 / yvette29


Congratulations guys! You covered a lot of topics in your discussion. Sorry, I was not able to attend. My trip to Baguio pushed through. Was back in Manila Sunday afternoon. Malipot lipot tabi an clema sa Baguio. Pwertihon. :)

Philippine general in graft probe shot dead

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine health secretary says a former military chief implicated in a corruption scandal has died of a gunshot wound.

http://ph.news.yahoo.com/ap/20110208/tap-as-philippines-corruption-fe2a5de.html
Health Secretary Enrique Ona says retired Gen. Angelo Reyes was pronounced dead on arrival in a Manila hospital Tuesday from a single gunshot wound in the chest.

Ona refused to immediately confirm that Reyes had committed suicide, saying he was awaiting autopsy results.

Reyes headed the military from 2001 to 2003 and was recently accused in a high-profile congressional hearing of pocketing money from the armed forces.

He just committed suicide rather than to be investigated in shame by the senate, who'll be the next to do that?

Albay may grow dark on ALECO's unpaid power bills :ohno:
02/08/2011 | 05:09 PM

Albay province is faced with the prospect of plunging into darkness after the Philippine Electricity Market Corp. (PEMC) ordered the disconnection of its electric cooperative from the wholesale electricity spot market for allegedly not paying nearly P1 billion in power supply bills.

Philippine Electricity, operator of the spot market where electricity is bought and sold, claimed that Albay Electric Cooperative (ALECO) owes PEMC P975.72 million.

PEMC also claimed in a statement Tuesday the cooperative failed to settle its obligations despite agreeing to do so in a mediated agreement on Dec. 9, 2010.

As such, PEMC “is constrained to issue a notice of suspension and request for the electric cooperative’s disconnection."

ALECO supposedly agreed to settle its December 2010 obligations as well as replenish its prudential requirement or security deposit by Jan. 25, according to Philippine Electricity.

The cooperative supposedly agreed to pay its August 2010-November 2010 obligations Feb. 1 to make its WESM bills current.

By not settling its obligations, ALECO supposedly violated WESM rules on payment defaults and margin calls, PEMC said.

From June 2009 to April 2010, ALECO bought 100 percent of its power needs from the WESM, and up to 65 percent of its requirement until December 2010.

PEMC alleged that the cooperative had been remiss in its obligations since May 2010 that the spot market administrator decided to draw from ALECO’s prudential requirement to settle some of its rising arrears.

Philippine Electricity also asked the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines to disconnect the cooperative from its transmission lines.

But National Grid officials have acted on that request because of “procedural requirements" that have yet to be accomplished.

With its obligations unsettled, ALECO will not be able to buy power from the spot market. The cooperative and turn around the situation by paying its outstanding accounts and replenishing its prudential requirement, PEMC said.

The electricity spot market was created in 2001, based on the premise that the cost of electricity can go down as suppliers compete within the framework of organized trading and market forces — demand and supply sides — dictate prices. It started commercial operations in Luzon in June 2006, and only last December in the Visayas. — VS, GMANews.TV

Disappointing 2011 budget

Policymakers who look up to the public sector as a major source of growth in 2011 are in for a major disappointment. Planned public spending, net of debt service, is expected to contract in real terms. Direct spending for public infrastructure is expected to slow, too, as appropriations for various public works decline. This, combined with the shrinking list of public-private partnership (PPP) projects that are ready to be bid and implemented this year, will mean another slow year for public construction.
Expectedly, the fastest growing item in the 2011 national budget is interest payments -- from P276 billion in 2010 to P357 billion in 2011, or by a whopping 29.3%.
Total planned government spending, net of interest payments, is expected to increase from P1.249 trillion in 2010 to P1.273 trillion in 2011, or by a measly 1.9%. Corrected for inflation, which is forecast to range from 4% to 5%, the productive part of the budget is expected to decline by 2.1% to 3.1%.
The biggest source of disappointment in the 2011 budget is the sharp drop in the amount allocated for economic services. The budget allocation for economic services will plummet from P399 billion in 2010 to P361 billion in 2011, a decrease of 9.5%.
The budget outlays for agriculture and land reform will fall from P89.2 billion in 2010 to P66.0 billion in 2011, or by 26.1%. For a country whose population is expanding rapidly and food shortage is a real threat, the government should spend for programs that would increase food production and reverse the declining agricultural productivity.
The Philippines is faced with a serious infrastructure deficiency. Yet, its 2011 budget allocation for communications, roads, and other transport was not only grossly inadequate; it was on a free fall. The sector’s budget allocation declined from P167.2 billion in 2009 to P151.5 billion in 2010 (attributable to the sharp slowdown in public construction during the second half of the year). For 2011, it is expected to further contract to P143.5 billion in 2011.
It may be argued that the Aquino III administration’s strategy is to make up for direct public spending for infrastructure by increasing the off-budget PPP projects. But the PPP initiative will take time to take off. Foreign investors need to be convinced that the Aquino administration can follow through on its PPP commitments.
Last November 2010, the Aquino administration initially bared its PPP initiatives. It made bold commitments on honoring contracts and guaranteeing regulatory risks. Foreign investors need more convincing. In the meantime, the list of projects under the PPP initiative continues to shrink.
Last November, from a very long list of projects, the following projects were announced to be ready for PPP arrangements: the creation of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway, Ninoy Aquino International Airport Expressway (Phase II), Light Rail Transit (LRT)-2 East Extension, LRT-1 South Extension.
The Philippine government also announced that it is looking for investors who will privatize the LRT-1, Metro Rail Transit-3, and Laguindingan Airport in Misamis Oriental, and develop the New Bohol Airport, Puerto Princesa Airport, and New Legaspi (Daraga) Airport.
But it turned out that the Aquino government was not ready. In the recent roadshow in Tokyo, the list has been further shortened to four: the Metro Rail Transit-3, the Light Rail Transit (LRT)-2, the Laguindingin Airport, and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Expressway (Phase II). The airports in Bohol, Puerto Princesa and Legaspi (Daraga) have been deferred.
The short-listed projects are yet to be bid. It will take a while before real groundwork will start, and it will take many years before these projects are completed. And it is reasonable to assume that their impact on the economy this year is going to be negligible.
The strength of the 2011 budget is on social spending. In his budget message, President Aquino said that the 2011 budget is meant to "uplift the lives of our countrymen who are in direst need of government compassion and support -- the poor, the disadvantaged, the marginalized."
Here, Mr. Aquino put his money where his mouth is. The budget allocation for social services is expected to increase from P492 billion in 2010 to P560 billion in 2011, or by 14%. The Department of Education’s budget will increase by 19.2%, the Department of Health’s budget by 13.3%, and the Social Welfare and Development’s budget by a whopping 122.7%.
The budget allocation for the defense sector will increase by 5.4% while that of the general public services sector will decline by 4.0%.
Moving forward, on the fiscal side, the Aquino government will be faced with three major challenges. First, how to raise enough revenues to be able to finance bigger, more responsive budgets.
Second, how to effectively and efficiently implement the budget. The challenge is extremely difficult for the Department of Social Welfare and Development. An agency that is so unaccustomed to handle large budgets, DSWD is now equipped with a humongous budget but faced with the enormous task of implementing the Aquino administration’s flagship program. Is the DSWD bureaucracy up to the challenge?
Finally, how to make the PPP initiative work. And if it doesn’t live up to expectation, what is the Aquino III administration’s fall back option?

Que barbaridad, kaya daw when i last visited that BIA site in Alobo, it was totally barren, no more heavy equipment, they just destroyed hundred of hectares of ricefield, left just like a desert, but we Daraguenos were still hoping that said project will be completed under the Salceda's administration .
Aquino's administration is a big joke. hence, its wasting peoples money for nonsense if no action will be taken to pursue such one big project.
We Albayanos will rally behind this government's careless whisper decision.
We want Albay economically progress in the years to come for our children.:ohno::ohno::ohno::ohno::ohno:

sir Dante, yaon po ako digdi sa Manila... nagaklase po ako... heheh... text nyo na lang po ako...

Noted your honor. Any further recommendations to this notification Atty. for this SSC inquiry?

now allow the farmers to plant their crops again!

How can they plant again, it was already limestones due to the clearing as runway?
Lots were already paid by the government to the owners.

It will pursue. It will be finished especially with Salceda's initiative. But sorry to Pnoy, I lost my trust in him! As one of the Bicolanos, I won't forgive him. Maray pa si Gloria!

To guru, condolence.

Makakagirabo an pagsayang ki perak na ginastos na digdi, kun dai na ini madagos. Makakabusong sa Mahal na Dios an mga sinayang na ricefield sa lugar na ini. Mga nasayang na harong asin infra kan barangay Alobo. Matiuson an mga tawo digdi ta mayo na sinda ki tarukan. The Local Government of Albay should make the necessary move on this regards, ASAP.

Hopefully, pero con bako priority can Pnoy administration, i coud say na marhay pa palan si GMA ta siya lang sa gabos na naguin presidente ca pilipinas na nagtaong attention sa magña bicolano sa paagi can manlaen-laen na infrastructure projects.

they cant be borrowed?if the proj. stay stagnant for years..for example.

Iyu na baga ini mga padi ang pigsasabi ko kaito pa. Kaya ngani I actively campaigned against Noy ta namamatian ko na kung ano mangyayari sa Pilipinas.

We want Albay economically progress in the years to come for our children.:ohno::ohno::ohno::ohno::ohno:

kaka Dissapoint si P.noy! Salceda/Bicol halped you in the elections!
now allow the farmers to plant their crops again!

We simply need a foreign investor showered with all kinds of incentives to finish the international airport. How does Trump International Airport sounds to you guys.

How can they plant again, it was already limestones due to the clearing as runway?
Lots were already paid by the government to the owners.

It will pursue. It will be finished especially with Salceda's initiative. But sorry to Pnoy, I lost my trust in him! As one of the Bicolanos, I won't forgive him. Maray pa si Gloria!

To guru, condolence.

THIS IS IT!:ohno: THERE'S A BIG POSSIBILITY THAT THIS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WILL NO LONGER BE IN ALBAY. IGWA KI REPORT NA KINUKUA MAN INI KAN CAMSUR ASIN MGA JAPANESE INVESTOR DAW ANG MATUGDOK KAINI.

It's only deferred. Dai man pig cancel. Baka madelay lang.

aw esus makamurumundo man na bareta an, pero sana magibuhan ki paraan na bago matapos an termino ni gov joey marealizar iyan na airport sa alobo. well im not a fan of noynoy, pero let's see nasa honeymoon period pa man ngaya. anyways namiz ko maray kapopost didgi.

Makakagirabo an pagsayang ki perak na ginastos na digdi, kun dai na ini madagos. Makakabusong sa Mahal na Dios an mga sinayang na ricefield sa lugar na ini. Mga nasayang na harong asin infra kan barangay Alobo. Matiuson an mga tawo digdi ta mayo na sinda ki tarukan. The Local Government of Albay should make the necessary move on this regards, ASAP.

Hopefully, pero con bako priority can Pnoy administration, i coud say na marhay pa palan si GMA ta siya lang sa gabos na naguin presidente ca pilipinas na nagtaong attention sa magña bicolano sa paagi can manlaen-laen na infrastructure projects.

they cant be borrowed?if the proj. stay stagnant for years..for example.


true..it wasnt canceled or scrapped...relax guys...

makagirabo man ini!
napuunan na ini! dai man ini pwedeng punduhon... wara na naman sa target date.. dakula na pati ang nagastos... pirang porciento na ang nagibo...
pero dai bale... matutuloy pa ini...


Iyu na baga ini mga padi ang pigsasabi ko kaito pa. Kaya ngani I actively campaigned against Noy ta namamatian ko na kung ano mangyayari sa Pilipinas. Si noy an tipo na presidente na gusto kang mga elitista ta madali paikuton ta warang bunay! tanganing an status quo kan Pilipinas status quo giraray. Back to business sinda ngunyan... payaman ki payaman samantala su pobre lalo napobre which is iyu an gusto ninda tanganing pirmi sinda nasa poder.

Goodluck na lang po saindo na nagboroto saiya. Now everybody is realizing that Gloria is actually better. :ohno:

@Oli
yeah... sayang si binoto ko, dai nanggana... pero mayo na kita magiginibo... just step up in faith and keep praying that greater things will come and will be done in this nation... in the end, hindi kay PNoy nakasalalay yan... :cheers:


duman palan sa suggestions... pwede padagdag... si mga tricycle drivers baga na nangtataga ning singil... magibuhan kutang paagi ni congressman. tnx.

Albay for Albayanos!

History repeats itself. Albay gave Cory her biggest lead in the entire archipelago and what's her legacy to Albayanos? Marcos was able to restore the railway line to Legazpi just before the snap election. Cory left PNR to rot! Again, Albay gave Pnoy his biggest lead next to his native province. Now, here we are again. :ohno: That's why I am rooting for secession! Albay should be a separate state; let imperial Manila and provinces in Southern Luzon buy electricity from our geothermal fields and precious metals from our mines!:rock:

Power supply in Albay saved by resignations

LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines—The board of the troubled electric cooperative of Albay has resigned about an hour before a deadline expired for the cooperative to clear the way for reforms or be unplugged from its supply of electricity that would switch off power in hundreds of thousands of homes in the province.

The eight-man board of the Albay Electric Cooperative (Aleco) resigned on Thursday, an hour before the noon deadline set by the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) for Aleco to pay up or be cut off from its source of power.

The Department of Energy (DOE) has agreed to step in and help keep electricity flowing into Albay but only on condition that the Aleco board resign and pave the way for reforms.

But as the clock ticked, one member of the board, Rommel Aldea, refused to heed the DOE. Gov. Joey Salceda said he was able to persuade Aldea to quit the board, too, like seven of its other members.

In a press conference, Salceda said copies of Aldea’s resignation letter would be sent to the NGCP and DOE.

The NGCP, which runs facilities that transmit electricity to end users, was set to unplug Albay at noon Thursday over at least P3 billion in unpaid power bills.

The resignation of the Aleco board would pave the way for the cooperative rehabilitation by the National Electrification Administration, according to Salceda.

The DOE, in a letter last Feb. 1, said the NEA should take over Aleco but should start with a clean slate.

Aldea signed his resignation letter in the presence of reporters, breaking into tears.

Aleco board members had rejected calls for them to quit, saying their positions were a mandate from consumers. The pressure for them to quit, however, was growing.

Salceda earlier said he would “move heaven and earth” to prevent the power disconnection and he joined a protest movement to press for the resignation of the board.

The fate of Albay’s power supply was left hanging until 3 p.m. on Thursday after Salceda said he felt frustrated at a DOE position rejecting the letters of resignation of the board members for being addressed to the wrong office.

The DOE said the board should produce another set of documents addressed to the NEA instead of to the office of Aleco’s general manager.

On its website, Aleco said that as of July 2005, the cooperative has at least 165,328 members.

Inefficient management and corruption were seen as causes of trouble in the Aleco, which has accumulated billions of pesos in debts to its power suppliers.

Aleco has been buying electricity at higher rates from independent power producers. The National Power Corp., which sells power at lower rates, has been supplying only a small amount of Albay’s power demand.

Don't despair my friends. The news said clearly that the BIA was not shelved, it was only deferred. So there is still a very good chance that it will be continued. I guess we should just give a little understanding of the current financial fix that our government is in right now. The only sad thing that I see is it dampened our enthusiasm to have a new airport at an earlier date. Now we are seeing a setback of at least a year. There is no way that that project is going to be shelved altogether. I guess everyone that uses the present airport and the terminal in particular, is becoming very inadequate with the volume of passengers that goes through it. With the current expansion mode of our airlines, there is a good chance that the low fares will become more consistent, and it will mean passengers will be using airplanes to travel and ergo, resulting to more flights. CDO airport's development is much advanced so I guess it has to proceed. Among the named airports for development, CDO is the busiest (I think with more than 20 flights a day) while its existing terminal in Lumbia is just a little bigger than LGP. The congestion there is really worst than ours.

Patience is a virtue.

We're still going nowhere fast
DEMAND AND SUPPLY By Boo Chanco (The Philippine Star) Updated February 11, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (7) View comments

Part of the exuberance that greeted our new President is the expectation that good things will start to happen soon. For a while those expectations were supported by the President and his economic team saying the right things. But after over half a year in command of the country and its bureaucracy, we seem to be going nowhere fast.

Indeed, fears are now being expressed that P-Noy himself is so laidback and so lacking in proper work habits to set the example and inspire the government machinery to move with a renewed sense of purpose and urgency. Even the business community, which constituted one of his staunchest supporters, is getting a bit more impatient about the pace of reforms. The reservoir of positive sentiment is running out in the absence of more developments by way of changes that would improve the business climate on the ground and beyond mere speeches, Power Point presentations and press releases.

P-Noy cannot claim comfort in his still high approval rating. As local market guru John Mangun observed: “While the President still commands a very favorable ‘approval/trust’ rating, maybe there is a growing lack of confidence for the future. So growing a sense of caution or hesitation in the President could be reflected in our stock exchange. The next weeks of trading activity will be very interesting as we get nearer to 3,600 on the index.”

The first signs of trouble can be seen in this administration’s centerpiece program for the economy: the PPP. It has apparently hit predictable roadblocks. According to a headline story of BusinessWorld, our economic managers have admitted delays in the PPP projects for this year. They are targeting 10 projects but unless they are able to iron out such things as how to compensate investors for change of rules and how to get LGUs to be more business friendly, they will be lucky to launch any major project this year.

According to the BusinessWorld story, officials told them that they are pushing back bidding for several PPP projects because of unfinished studies and rules governing the centerpiece infrastructure program. Foreign business groups and diplomats were also told that the framework to implement promised guarantees remained incomplete. In other words, they didn’t do their homework before they launched with a big bang.

As it happened, Business Mirror reports that the Foreign Chambers of Commerce raised the need to come up with clear protection from regulatory, legislative and judicial risks for long-term investors, as well as immediately resolve previous build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects that went wrong. Unless this happens, the Foreign Chambers warned that the administration will not be able to persuade the international investment community to participate in the administration’s public-private partnership (PPP) projects.

Possible rules to guard against regulatory risks “are now subject to discussion at the National and Economic Development Authority’s infrastructure committee... and details will be provided in due time,” PPP Center Executive Director Philamer Torio told BusinessWorld. In other words, the issue has not moved from the day P-Noy promised it during the PPP launch. If the executive branch has not finalized those rules, how can Congress even start to discuss possible needed legislation?

These problems should have been anticipated when P-Noy promised the guarantees. In fact, even as the business sector welcomed the President’s guarantee, they wondered how it would be implemented. It would most likely require legislation since money will have to be appropriated for the purpose.

But now that it had been promised, the government must make good on it or lose credibility. P-Noy should use his current positive influence on members of Congress to help him out here. P-Noy should convene a LEDAC meeting to take this matter up. He should emphasize the urgency of crafting and passing appropriate legislation or the implementation of any PPP project this year may be wishful thinking.

One route being explored to prevent arbitrary contract changes is to limit the involvement of local government units (LGUs), according to Board of Investments managing head Cristino Panlilio. They are looking at proposing amendments to the Local Government Code to “unravel the authority of LGUs which are subject to abuse”, Mr. Panlilio said. Such a proposal is likely to attract much opposition in Congress.

According to a report filed by PhilStar reporter Ted Torres, IFC Resident Representative Jesse Ang said the Aquino government must make the program attractive to both domestic and foreign investors. “The government must do things right, and must create the impression that the Philippine is sincere, and that it will end the virtual cycle of corruption or inefficiency.”

The same IFC official while supportive of the program that will invest on much needed public infrastructure, has also expressed the view that “the problem with PPP is the pipeline is not robust.” This is also the view taken by the Foreign Chambers: “We strongly recommend that a pipeline of bankable PPP projects be developed.”

P-Noy was right to make PPPs a priority program because we do need to bridge the country’s infrastructure gaps amid a chronic lack in government funds. But this is not a new program. It is a rehash of the old B-O-T or Build-Operate-Transfer programs of the past. It is unclear how the Aquino Administration will introduce enough changes in it to mitigate the bad experience of the private sector in the B-O-T program in the past.

It seems to me our officials should realize selling the program does not just mean making glitzy presentations to prospective investors. Convincing members of Congress and LGU officials to help should be top priority at this stage.

One thing is sure… time is ticking fast and before we realize it, the year is over and unless P-Noy moves with more urgency in getting the homework done to make PPP viable, he will have nothing to show by way of accomplishment this yearend.

Albay to host 2011 Palarong Bicol (http://www.bicolmail.com/issue/2011/jan27/xhost.html)
By Florencio P. Narito

LEGAZPI CITY ---The Province of Albay will be the host of the 2011 Palarong Bicol which will be held on Feb. 12-18 at the Albay Provincial Sports Center in Travesia, Guinobatan, Albay and other designated venues.

Neuve G. Carrascal, head of the Regional Task Force on School Sports, announced, however that the formal opening will be held on Sunday Feb. 13.

She said in an interview that among the invited guests to grace the opening ceremonies are Education Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro, Gov. Joey Sarte Salceda, and Guinobatan Mayor Juan Garcia.

She explained, however, that not all the events or activities will take place at the Albay Provincial Sports Center (APSC).

Other events like arnis, taekwondo, will be held at the Guinobatan Sports Center. Basketball will be played either at the Ibalong Centrum for Recreation in Legazpi or at the APSC.

Badminton will be played at the Albay Astrodome while boxing at the Daraga Covered Court. Chess will be played at the Albay Capitol Atrium or Peoples Hall, tennis at the Guinobatan Tennis Court or Camalig Tennis Court.

Football and softball will be played at the Bicol University Athletic Field and gymnastics will be held at the Ligao City Gymnasium and table tennis at the Camalig South Central School Gymn.

Meanwhile, the Provincial Sports Center is undergoing renovation for the Bicol Athletic Meet. According to Board Member Ralph Andes, chairman of the Committee on Sports of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the Provincial Government has allocated P 12 million for this year’s Palarong Bicol.

He said the Palarong Bicol was reset from Feb 6-11to Feb. 12-18. Furthermore, he revealed that Gov. Salceda wants to make the Provincial Sports Center modernized and upgraded as the province is bidding to host the 2012 Palarong Pambansa.

Participating in this regional athletic competition are some 14,000 delegates from the six provincial and seven city schools divisions of the Department of Education.

Only elementary and secondary school students are eligible to participate in the athletic competition.

DEMAND AND SUPPLY By Boo Chanco (The Philippine Star) Updated February 11, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (7) View comments

Part of the exuberance that greeted our new President is the expectation that good things will start to happen soon. For a while those expectations were supported by the President and his economic team saying the right things. But after over half a year in command of the country and its bureaucracy, we seem to be going nowhere fast.

Indeed, fears are now being expressed that P-Noy himself is so laidback and so lacking in proper work habits to set the example and inspire the government machinery to move with a renewed sense of purpose and urgency. Even the business community, which constituted one of his staunchest supporters, is getting a bit more impatient about the pace of reforms. The reservoir of positive sentiment is running out in the absence of more developments by way of changes that would improve the business climate on the ground and beyond mere speeches, Power Point presentations and press releases.

P-Noy cannot claim comfort in his still high approval rating. As local market guru John Mangun observed: “While the President still commands a very favorable ‘approval/trust’ rating, maybe there is a growing lack of confidence for the future. So growing a sense of caution or hesitation in the President could be reflected in our stock exchange. The next weeks of trading activity will be very interesting as we get nearer to 3,600 on the index.”

The first signs of trouble can be seen in this administration’s centerpiece program for the economy: the PPP. It has apparently hit predictable roadblocks. According to a headline story of BusinessWorld, our economic managers have admitted delays in the PPP projects for this year. They are targeting 10 projects but unless they are able to iron out such things as how to compensate investors for change of rules and how to get LGUs to be more business friendly, they will be lucky to launch any major project this year.

According to the BusinessWorld story, officials told them that they are pushing back bidding for several PPP projects because of unfinished studies and rules governing the centerpiece infrastructure program. Foreign business groups and diplomats were also told that the framework to implement promised guarantees remained incomplete. In other words, they didn’t do their homework before they launched with a big bang.

As it happened, Business Mirror reports that the Foreign Chambers of Commerce raised the need to come up with clear protection from regulatory, legislative and judicial risks for long-term investors, as well as immediately resolve previous build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects that went wrong. Unless this happens, the Foreign Chambers warned that the administration will not be able to persuade the international investment community to participate in the administration’s public-private partnership (PPP) projects.

Possible rules to guard against regulatory risks “are now subject to discussion at the National and Economic Development Authority’s infrastructure committee... and details will be provided in due time,” PPP Center Executive Director Philamer Torio told BusinessWorld. In other words, the issue has not moved from the day P-Noy promised it during the PPP launch. If the executive branch has not finalized those rules, how can Congress even start to discuss possible needed legislation?

These problems should have been anticipated when P-Noy promised the guarantees. In fact, even as the business sector welcomed the President’s guarantee, they wondered how it would be implemented. It would most likely require legislation since money will have to be appropriated for the purpose.

But now that it had been promised, the government must make good on it or lose credibility. P-Noy should use his current positive influence on members of Congress to help him out here. P-Noy should convene a LEDAC meeting to take this matter up. He should emphasize the urgency of crafting and passing appropriate legislation or the implementation of any PPP project this year may be wishful thinking.

One route being explored to prevent arbitrary contract changes is to limit the involvement of local government units (LGUs), according to Board of Investments managing head Cristino Panlilio. They are looking at proposing amendments to the Local Government Code to “unravel the authority of LGUs which are subject to abuse”, Mr. Panlilio said. Such a proposal is likely to attract much opposition in Congress.

According to a report filed by PhilStar reporter Ted Torres, IFC Resident Representative Jesse Ang said the Aquino government must make the program attractive to both domestic and foreign investors. “The government must do things right, and must create the impression that the Philippine is sincere, and that it will end the virtual cycle of corruption or inefficiency.”

The same IFC official while supportive of the program that will invest on much needed public infrastructure, has also expressed the view that “the problem with PPP is the pipeline is not robust.” This is also the view taken by the Foreign Chambers: “We strongly recommend that a pipeline of bankable PPP projects be developed.”

P-Noy was right to make PPPs a priority program because we do need to bridge the country’s infrastructure gaps amid a chronic lack in government funds. But this is not a new program. It is a rehash of the old B-O-T or Build-Operate-Transfer programs of the past. It is unclear how the Aquino Administration will introduce enough changes in it to mitigate the bad experience of the private sector in the B-O-T program in the past.

It seems to me our officials should realize selling the program does not just mean making glitzy presentations to prospective investors. Convincing members of Congress and LGU officials to help should be top priority at this stage.

One thing is sure… time is ticking fast and before we realize it, the year is over and unless P-Noy moves with more urgency in getting the homework done to make PPP viable, he will have nothing to show by way of accomplishment this yearend.

Albay for Albayanos!

History repeats itself. Albay gave Cory her biggest lead in the entire archipelago and what's her legacy to Albayanos? Marcos was able to restore the railway line to Legazpi just before the snap election. Cory left PNR to rot! Again, Albay gave Pnoy his biggest lead next to his native province. Now, here we are again. :ohno: That's why I am rooting for secession! Albay should be a separate state; let imperial Manila and provinces in Southern Luzon buy electricity from our geothermal fields and precious metals from our mines!:rock:

Korek, korek, at korek pa, let those multinational companies buy electricity from Albay resources, not that we are buying electricity out of our own source. Mali, mali, mali at mali, nagtitios kita ki kuryente anion satuya si Tiwi and BACMAN.
Kabuahan , its unfair, unfair, unfair pa.
Haen na so mga nagparaturuga na mga politiko na pabababaon an kuryente ko, nindo, sainda, kita, mo.
Ngunyan an kuryente ta, gari christmas light, kulang na lang ako mag order ki beer. Gari nasa beerhouse.

Maybe it's time for an Egyptian-style revolution!? :)

Now there's a true revolution, led by ordinary people, rather than our fake revolutions, led by the business elites of Makati...

Manuel Roxas - Capiz
Quirino- Ilocos Sur
Magsaysay - Zambales
Garcia - Bohol
Macapagal I - Pampamga
Marcos- Ilocos Norte
Aquino I - Tarlac
Ramos - Pangasinan
Estrada - Manila
Macapagal II - Pampanga
Aquino II -Manila

Notice a certain pattern here...? ;)

Incredibly, since the days of Garcia more than 50 years ago, there hasn't been a Philippine president from outside this narrow "presidential triangle" of Ilocos-Central Luzon-Manila....

Not exactly healthy for a democracy is it?

I'm not necessarily saying that all presidents will bring benefits to their home provinces but we shouldn't be too surprised if they like to prioritize their home turf at the expense of other parts of the nation a little too often....:)

Power supply in Albay saved by resignations
By Rey M. Nasol, Mar S. Arguelles
Inquirer Southern Luzon
First Posted 22:41:00 02/10/2011

Filed Under: Electricity Production & Distribution, Graft & Corruption, Government, Management Changes, Regional authorities
LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines—The board of the troubled electric cooperative of Albay has resigned about an hour before a deadline expired for the cooperative to clear the way for reforms or be unplugged from its supply of electricity that would switch off power in hundreds of thousands of homes in the province.

The eight-man board of the Albay Electric Cooperative (Aleco) resigned on Thursday, an hour before the noon deadline set by the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) for Aleco to pay up or be cut off from its source of power.

The Department of Energy (DOE) has agreed to step in and help keep electricity flowing into Albay but only on condition that the Aleco board resign and pave the way for reforms.

But as the clock ticked, one member of the board, Rommel Aldea, refused to heed the DOE. Gov. Joey Salceda said he was able to persuade Aldea to quit the board, too, like seven of its other members.

In a press conference, Salceda said copies of Aldea’s resignation letter would be sent to the NGCP and DOE.

The NGCP, which runs facilities that transmit electricity to end users, was set to unplug Albay at noon Thursday over at least P3 billion in unpaid power bills.

The resignation of the Aleco board would pave the way for the cooperative rehabilitation by the National Electrification Administration, according to Salceda.

The DOE, in a letter last Feb. 1, said the NEA should take over Aleco but should start with a clean slate.

Aldea signed his resignation letter in the presence of reporters, breaking into tears.

Aleco board members had rejected calls for them to quit, saying their positions were a mandate from consumers. The pressure for them to quit, however, was growing.

Salceda earlier said he would “move heaven and earth” to prevent the power disconnection and he joined a protest movement to press for the resignation of the board.

The fate of Albay’s power supply was left hanging until 3 p.m. on Thursday after Salceda said he felt frustrated at a DOE position rejecting the letters of resignation of the board members for being addressed to the wrong office.

The DOE said the board should produce another set of documents addressed to the NEA instead of to the office of Aleco’s general manager.

On its website, Aleco said that as of July 2005, the cooperative has at least 165,328 members.

Inefficient management and corruption were seen as causes of trouble in the Aleco, which has accumulated billions of pesos in debts to its power suppliers.

Aleco has been buying electricity at higher rates from independent power producers. The National Power Corp., which sells power at lower rates, has been supplying only a small amount of Albay’s power demand.

Actually, it was a drastic decision on the part of the ALECO Board of Directors to resign and give way to the NEA Management again, they came to that decision due to the intervention of our Governor.
The bottomline, Governor really moved heaven and earth just to unplug the whole province from electric interruption, Bravo, Gov.
The question is...until when we will have the same scenario?
First and foremost , as i've heard ALECO is not really a registered cooperative ?
It's unfair to us consumers who were religiously paying our monthly bills and yet continuously suffering from 3 to 5 times brownouts daily.
When will be that Albay Grid be operational to serve solely Albayanos?
Tiwi and BACMAN are our own geothermal sources, and yet, the electric price is too high ?
Are we assured that NEA will totally solved our sufferings from corruption inside the cooperative and mismanagement resulted to huge financial debts?
Isn't it that they handled Aleco before but they failed?
Is Bicol Autonomy one of the option to the solution to this problem?

not a registered coop!? seriously!? :wallbash:

I don't think a Bicol Autonomy will solve the problem... not of Albay, not of the Bicol Region. As much as I want that to happen, it won't solve it, although, I can't give a detailed explanation as to why.

No need for an Albay Grid, I think one power plant will be sufficient in supplying the whole of Albay's power needs. A South Luzon Grid could be made for the rest of South Luzon. Electricity is still an important commodity that Albay can sell.

NEA management? now, what can they do? and about the huge debt? how can that be paid? and what happens if that debt can't be paid? suppose we just build a power plant that will supply Albay and right after getting cut off from the National Grid, we'll just switch to the new source. Are we still required to pay the old debt? :D

This comment is about the deferred projects. Now that we know the projects and the funding needed, the next step is prioritize the unfinished projects. This is a simple and basic management process. And the criteria for prioritizing the projects should be based on the economic impact of the project on the province, the region and country. We believe that the Bicol International Airport (BIA) positive economic impact is already manifested by the surge of tourists in the region, both domestic and foreign. Keep this no brainer management process (prioritizing) simple. Let us work together to restore and finish the construction of BIA, for Albay, for the Bicol Region and for the Philippines. I don't know how you get in touch with senators and congressmen. Can we simply write them letters instead of cyring on spilled milk. If we can do that, let's do it with deluge of letters.

I believe one of our members here works for one of the lawmakers of Albay. There's an access point.

Keep this no brainer management process (prioritizing) simple. Let us work together to restore and finish the construction of BIA, for Albay, for the Bicol Region and for the Philippines. I don't know how you get in touch with senators and congressmen. Can we simply write them letters instead of cyring on spilled milk. If we can do that, let's do it with deluge of letters.

We really have to send them letters if we really want these problems addressed. We already have the contact details (e-mail ad) of Cong. Bichara and I sometimes go to his office. I know gurugeri is good in writing so he can perhaps write the letters for us. Then send them to these officials:

AKB Party-list
Cong. Bichara
Gov. Salceda
who else?

Problem is, how do send them letters? Through E-mail or through Snail Mail?

Hey guys, what happened there at Lingon Hill? I heard in the news that an accident happened there with one person dead and a number of people injured. Any details?

We really have to send them letters if we really want these problems addressed. We already have the contact details (e-mail ad) of Cong. Bichara and I sometimes go to his office. I know gurugeri is good in writing so he can perhaps write the letters for us. Then send them to these officials:

AKB Party-list
Cong. Bichara
Gov. Salceda
who else?

Problem is, how do send them letters? Through E-mail or through Snail Mail?

I've send already a letter to AKB, Cong. and Gov, but it remains to be heard, under this aquino administration , i don't know what will happen.
No budget sabi nila, ni recall pa nga budget ko.

Let’s use the power of the internet. Let’s use Facebook, You Tube, Twitter and Internet Websites. We should not limit our messages to the region’s congressmen and senators. Let’s show them that peaceful Bicolanos mean business and advocate a continuous economic progress in the region. Stay on
course and full steam ahead! We can, we will, we must. Build BIA! Build BIA!
We Want BIA! We Want BIA!

Hapot ko lang tabi, con i total an pondo na hale mismo sa national government para sa bicol region sagkud an pondo na resulta can pagcaca igua qui Bicol Autonomous Region, arin tabi an mas may dakula na benepisyo para sa magña bicolano?

Hi fellow forumers! Thanks sa condolences ninyo! I am saddened by the deferment of the completion of the BIA. I think the project will still push through. All government agencies, I suppose, have budget cuts. Kami dito sa Pisay 5 million pesos lang naman ang nawala, hence yung ibang benefits wala kami this fiscal year. Nakakadismaya.

pati poh ba ung GUICADALE pina on hold ni Pnoy? geez...
all the construction preparation for BIA..Malapit na Matapos ehh.. buti pa si Gloria nakapagpatayo na ng Int'l Airport! itong si Pnoy..Hay kung ano ba Nakain..

I guess we just have to be patient about all these budget cuts that the current administration is doing right now. Based on my personal analysis, these are necessary to avoid further financial setbacks our country will face if we keep on the spending spree done during the past 10 years. We are all to blame for the financial fiasco our country is currently experiencing. We tolerated them. There are many reasons why our government finances are in disarray. For one, we are now paying for the unabated corruption in the past. Just look around you, there are so many projects left half finished because the contractor run short of funds because of the 10 to 25% pocketed by politicians. There are so many non-priority projects that were given priority. All these were done para sa pagpapapogi kan satuyang mga politico starting from the top.

I still believe in the sincerity of the current government in straightening the bureaucracy. There are still corruption being done here and there. It will take time before those bad eggs in government are wiped out. I am so glad of the series of events that are currently happening which are unearthing the rotten state of our military institution. These are actually well known facts that many of us know that are happening in our military, but nothing is done because people are afraid to speak out. Now, everything is coming out straight from the horses mouth. Col Rabusa should be protected from harm so he can continue his revelations. But the one I really admire is Heidi Mendoza, because I can see her sincerity in coming out. Gen Reyes should have told the truth, it should have been a more heroic act compared to what he did.

The completion of the BIA is not an all in solution to fast track the economic development of our province. It is just one of the factors. There are so many other worthwhile projects that can be undertaken that can be locally funded. Our local leaders should be just be more creative and dynamic in handling our finances. But most of all they should be HONEST!

May kasabihan baga . . . Take two steps backwards so you will have more force going forward.

Thank you for that enlightenment..I can now TOTALLY see it from a diff. point of view. :banana:

^^ we at Tacloban City, share your sentiments as well regarding the deferred projects, specifically the redevelopment of our respective airport. Hope the national government will listen or heed the calls of the people in the provinces. The future of the nation lies not only in NCR, but on the whole country. Based on my observation, parang presidente lang ng Metro Manila ang current Malacanang occupant..

Good day Legazpeeps,

I'm just wondering if all of you are already part of the group Dex created in Facebook? Coz, as Dex requested, I won't be posting here our "future/planned actions" and the "minutes of the meets." He wants me to keep them concealed. So, I am encouraging you all to join the group in SSC just to read what we're already doing and what we're about to do just to get our proposals/ideas implemented.

Yours Truly,

Mond87/yvette29

Maray na Albay saindo gabos!:)

MAYON VOLCANO (MT. MAYON)
Albay, Bicol Region
Major jumpoff: PHIVOLCS Office, Tabaco, Albay
LLA: 13°15′24″N; 123°41′6″E; 2462 MASL (#23)
Days required / Hours to summit: 3 days / 10-12 hours
Specs: Major climb, Difficulty 7/9, Trail class 2-5
BACKGROUND
Mayon, magayon - Beautiful Mayon Volcano is one of the most spectacular mountains in the Philippines, and it is one of only two mountains in the world famous for a perfect conical shape, the other being Mt. Fuji in Japan. Its uninterrupted rise from the Bicol peninsula serves as the backdrop of the Cagsawa Ruins in one of most popular postcard scenes in the Philippines. Not surprisingly, the Cagsawa ruins themselves were caused by the volcano in its most devastating eruption in February 1814 which killed over a thousand. Indeed, just like Mt. Fuji, the symmetry and beauty of Mayon has ironically sprung forth from violent volcanic activity. In fact, Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines, with no less 46 volcanic eruptions occuring after 1814.:)

When I think of Guinobatan, there are three buildings there that come to my mind. The pics above are two of those buildings. I would have been better if the designs of the surrounding buildings followed those of the above buildings.

LEGAZPI CITY (PIA) – Though Department of Education (DepEd) Albay division modestly declined to admit that it tops in the on-going athletic heap, Albay province has already earned 23 medals after two days of sports competition.
The medal harvest, which according to Asst. Superintendent Malette Almayda is unofficial, is distributed to 6 gold, 8 silver and 9 bronze.
Dr. Almayda, made the announcement during this morning’s PIA radio program Ugnayan sa Bikol.
The medals earned were from archery, swimming, ball games and gymnastics. Albay’s gold medalist in gymnastics has been declared to represent Bicol in Palarong Pambansa in Dapitan City, said Almayda.
However, reports reaching PIA today, the media tally has Albay at the forefront of the 13 competing delegations with, 12 gold, 15 silver, and 13 bronze; followed by Camarines Norte with 5 gold, 5 silver and 5 bronze.
Sorsogon province is ranking third with 3 gold, 4 silver and 1 bronze. Taking the fourth place is Camarines Sur with 2 gold, 1 silver and 4 bronze.
Almayda, too, commented that their preparations for the athletic events have paid off.:cheers:
Albay delegation has the biggest contingent with 819. Some 6,000 athletes, coaches and chaperones are participating in the week-long regional meet.
Meantime, the Naga City delegation is expecting Secretary Jesse Robredo to be present in today’s swimming events as youngest daughter Jillian Therese is a leading tanker of the contingent.:)
The young Robredo has been competing in swimming in past athletic meets. Aside from being an athlete Jillian Therese is a gold medalist in 2009 Mathematics International Competition held in Singapore.

Hey guys, let's not use this thread to express our political views. I just noticed we've been doing some political bashings and it continues. If we would like to express our political views, there are specific threads for this. There is a thread for the Executive Branch, where we can bash P-Noy to death. I would love to see the thread remain apolitical.

With due respect, how reliable is the source of this great news. It might be just a work in the airport to finish a phase of a contract. Then, the construction is deferred, a classic flash in the pan. We really like to hear from the Governor. We need an international airport and we don't want this vital driver of economic progress to go up in smoke.

There are buses that plies the Manila - Leyte route which passes thru Samar, Ssorsogon then Albay. You can hop off in Daraga town and you can just take a taxi to bring you wherever you want to go.

:okay: TWO THUMBS UP FOR THIS RESORT! I WILL RECOMMEND THIS TO MY FRIENDS. PUPUNTA SILA NG ALBAY SA APRIL, THEY'RE FROM BAGUIO CITY.

Hello, its been sometime since I last posted here. Its great to see the latest projects ongoing in our province.

There had been some comments and unlikely reactions about what is being done in Daraga church. That is understandable because we would like to see the original as we would like to appreciate the beauty of it. We might not know the real intention of the parish as to why they done it.

On the other hand, we know that it is being done because the structure (church) needs some conservation/preservation effort. Original color and texture of the church is actually "WHITE".

What? White? Yes, white is the original color of the church made from lime mixture used as mortars and plasters in the construction during the early times. Most likely, hopefully not, that it is not paint what is being used but a mixture of lime materials mostly similar to the original with some added modern mixture. This is being done so that the external structure can be save from deterioration of the elements surrounding it.

Reason why we saw it dark or black as what we thought was the original because of time. As long time passes, chemical reactions, weather conditions, climate change render it black.

So cheers, maybe after a hundred years, it will be black again.

^ i hope so...welcome back meako!

Actually, Sto. Domingo has plenty of scenic and cozy resorts, you're friends can choose the best for them, they're just along the road going to Buhatan and Misibis, nakahilira, lahat magaganda, if i'm not mistaken siguro less than 20 ang resorts dito,manhattan, isa lang yan sa pagpipilian.

yes ur right sir imilo. malamang tatapusin lang nila yang work sa phase na yan. after that wala na! maghintay na lang tayo kung itutuloy pa ni pnoy o hindi na ang project na yan. but i had a strong feeling na hindi na yan itutuloy ni pnoy kasi kay gloria yang project. pinoy politics is the best!:banana:

Church Gates were being closed at 10 PM until 4 AM.
It's OK for security reason and minimized dating at the church compound.
