The universities and colleges in Albay can or should produce English speaking graduates that will do well in the radio broadcasting industry. Here is why and please correct me if I am wrong: When we study accounting, it is taught in English, when we study all sorts of engineering, it is taught in English, when we study nursing, it is taught in English, when we study medicine, it is taught in English, when we study law, it is taught in English, when we study liberal arts, it is taught in English, when we study management (graduate (MBA) or undergraduate), it is taught in English, when we study communications, it is taught in English, when we take vocational schooling, it is taught in English. When we need to be certified, the examination is in English. When I visit the Philippines and talk to my professional relatives and friends with American accent, I get this reaction: “Yabang.” “Magbicol ka sana.” “Aram mo pa magdaragueno.” What happened to our knowledge of English? We simply do not practice it. We did not walk the talk. We forgot the “why” we should speak it. Japan spends millions in teaching employees involved in trading with English speaking nations how to speak English. China teaches their five year olds how to speak flawless English to prepare them in dealing with English speaking trading partners. Nevertheless, we found our “why.” Companies looking for BPOs prefer Philippines over India because we have a better accent and good command of English (yes, thanks to that schooling). We should continue to improve the way we communicate in English. Here are some suggestions. I know some of you will balk at these recommendations: We need to practice, practice and practice how to speak English. Read English novels. I challenge University presidents to make English the language in their campuses. We need to practice, practice and practice how to write in English. Write your posts in Skyscrapercity in English. To improve your accent do not pronounce the vowels (a,e,i,o,u) the way your parents or grandparents were taught in “katon.” I am not saying we should give up Albayano, Bicolano regionalism and Filipino patriotism. Just want us to be a better OFWs, BPOs and outdo India in this industry. And someday an OFW will say: “Medio bilot na ako magbikol pero dakol ang dolar sa banco.”

i agree with you imilo...from now on english will be my medium here in this thread.

Good news:

The Legazpi City Airport will have runway rehabilitation in preparation for night flights. This was also reported in DZGB.

So while waiting for SLIA, they will improvise the Old Legazpi Airport, which I think is okay. It is too crowded, I hope they will build a more spacious lounge.

Source: www.caap.gov.ph/.../Invitation%20to%20Bid.

So Cong. Bichara's plan is finally to be implemented. We discussed this lengthily during our conversation last September when we saw each other at the airport. This is budgeted at P50 Million, enough to fund the expansion of the terminal and the setting up of landing equipment to allow night operations. I maybe pessimistic but I project that the BIA completion will take another 5 years at the shortest and 10 years at the longest assuming the way it has been moving over the last 5 years. Except if Chiz Escudero (or another Bicolano) becomes president in 2016.

DILG, DTI label 3 Bicol cities as business-friendly LGUs
December 20, 2011 5:40 am
By Danny O. Calleja

LEGAZPI CITY, Dec. 19 – This city and two others in Bicol have been labeled in the government’s campaign to achieve robust and long-term growth needed for countryside development and poverty reduction as the region’s most business-friendly local government units (LGUs).
The campaign is aimed at addressing the general perception that corruption, attributed to red tape, lack of political will on the part of local chief executives to carry out reforms and lack of vigilance on the part of the private sector to demand bureaucratic reformations is prevalent at the local level.
Apart from this city, the two others cited were Naga City and Masbate City. City Mayors Geraldine Rosal, John Bongat and Socrates Tuason, respectively, received the plaques of recognition handed down by Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jesse Robredo in simple ceremonies held here over the weekend.
The formation of business-friendly LGUs is being spearheaded by the DILG under its stepped up implementation of Project CURE (Comprehensive Response to Eliminate Red Tape) in the local level to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of LGUs in the delivery of basic goods and services through policy audit and compliance tracking of local anti-red tape initiatives.
Among the anti-red tape initiatives being looked into in determining business-friendly LGUs are their compliance with the formulation of citizen charters and establishment of their public assistance or complaint desks, one stop shops or walk-in services and courtesy lanes for pregnant women, senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
In support o the campaign, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has entered into a memorandum circular with the DILG for the nationwide streamlining of business permits and licensing system reform project to speed up the issuance of these requirements by city and municipal governments in order to encourage more investors in their localities.
The cities of Legazpi, Naga and Masbate are so far the only three LGUs in Bicol that have completed their streamlining operations, paving the way for these areas to become “havens of investment”, Robredo said during the awarding ceremonies.
These areas all boast of influxes of new businesses established over the past few years and those are proofs that indeed their LGUs have been able to make putting up investments in their respective localities easier and favorable on the part of the investors, the public and the LGUs that are now earning substantial revenues, the DILG chief said.
On the part of this city, Rosal said her place is now fully saturated by dozens of top class hotels, posh malls, giant bargain centers, convenient stores, recreational accommodations, transport terminals and famous restaurants including internationally known food chains.
“We have among others the billion-peso Embarcadero de Legazpi, a world-class tourist-oriented commercial hub sitting on a vast seafront property at the heart of the city; the Pacific Mall which is a multi-million-peso investment of the business giant, Gaisano Corp. and the Central Transport Terminal, a P300-million Public-Private Partnership (PPP) undertaking,” Rosal said.
Apart from these, more and more new investments in information technology and business process outsourcing (BPO) firms are coming in and taking in thousands of local workers, Rosal added.
In Naga City, Bongat said the city’s Central Business District, a vast, modern commercial complex at the heart of the city is now fully developed and serving as investment hub to big investors. The latest addition to it is the SM Naga, the only branch in Bicol of the mall-giant Shoe Mart.
In Masbate, Tuason said, several hotels, department stores and other commercial establishments have opened in his city during the past few months. (PNA)

At last an accolade to Legazpi was given. The tiger is now zooming. The world is really round!:banana:

DOST pushes for S&T intervention vs Panama disease threatening PHL’s banana industry
DECEMBER 20, 2011
in SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
By Danny O. Calleja

LEGAZPI CITY, Dec. 19 -– The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is coming up with measures that would address the infestation of Fusarium oxysporum f. Sp. Cubense or Panama disease that is threatening the country’s banana industry.

The presence of the dreaded plant disease in some banana plantations in the Davao Region had already been confirmed and “we acknowledge the urgency of the issue moves to come up with immediate and long-term science and technology (S&T)-based solutions for the management of the disease”, DOST Secretary Mario Montejo said in a statement received here Monday.

Commonly known as the Fusarium wilt (Fw) or banana wilt, the disease could infest both lowland and upland banana plantations and destroy the Cavendish banana industry in Mindanao, he said.

It is considered as one of the most destructive plant diseases since it was first discovered in Panama. It is a soil-borne fungus that attacks banana plant's vascular system and obstructs the uptake of water and soil nutrients resulting to wilting and death of the pants.

Specifically, Montejo said the DOST is pushing for the “S&T Intervention in Managing the Fusarium Wilt in Davao”, a program slated to come up with disease management measures and develop a resistant variety.

The DOST’s Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) will fund and coordinate the conduct of this program.

In the same statement, PCAARRD Executive Director Patricio Faylon said PCAARRD's role in using S&T to enhance the needed interventions and in sharing the fund burden for the conduct of research and development (R&D) and other activities towards the development of disease management strategies.

First among the proposed projects is the use of biological control agents against Fusarium oxysporumf. sp. cubense, the fungus causing the disease. Among the biocontrol agents to be evaluated are Trichoderma sp., vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), Montejo said.

In line with this activity, The DOST chief said the physico-chemical characteristics of soils will be studied to determine why some soils seem to suppress the disease.

The project will also work on developing varieties that are resistant, locally-adapted and approximate the fruit quality of the prevailing Cavendish varieties. The Secretary hoped to enlist the assistance of the Taiwanese government in obtaining germplasm for this purpose.

For its part, the Department of Agriculture (DA) has organized Task Force Fusarium to push local quarantine ordinances and promote the disease management protocol and currently, Montejo said several towns have adopted policies to restrict the movement of planting material in infected areas.

Together with the Pilipino Banana Growers and Exporters Association (PBGEA), the DA is promoting the disease management protocol through development and distribution of information materials, and through protocol briefings.

Stakeholders have also agreed to develop a unified action plan to incorporate all the individual actions and to fine tune the proposal developed by the Mindanao Agriculture and Resources R&D Consortium (SMARRDEC).

Suspicions on the presence of Fw in the Philippines became rife in 2002 when some banana plants exhibited yellowing of leaves and deterioration of healthy tissues, with their color turning brown.

Before 2002, Philippine bananas were largely resistant to the disease. While other countries were reeling from the effects of Fw infestation, the country was expanding the banana industry and eventually became the world’s second largest banana exporter.

The first Fw outbreak in the country was recorded in an upland Cavendish farm in Mindanao in that year, followed by infestations in traditional lowland commercial Cavendish farms from 2004 to 2006. (PNA)

Php 1.3 Billion Callamity Fund Ready

The national government, lawmakers, Albay province and Cebu City are extending financial aid to the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan and other areas devastated by Tropical Storm “Sendong.”

At least a P1.3-billion calamity fund “will be released immediately” to help ease the plight of the victims of the storm, Budget Secretary Florencio B. Abad said Monday.
“We are ensuring the quick release of these funds so that victims will receive swift and proper assistance,” Abad said in a statement.
He said that with the fund, the government “is generously equipped” to mobilize and support disaster relief efforts in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan as well as other affected areas.
The budget secretary said that separate quick-response funds (QRF) were “adequately supporting” the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Public Works and Highways, Department of National Defense and Department of Education in their efforts to provide direct and immediate support to storm-stricken areas.
“We also have the local government support fund shares of all affected local government units, for whom President Aquino will (on Tuesday) provide special allotment release orders and notices of allocation,” Abad said.
He said that if additional disaster-response funds were required, the national government had sufficient reserves to augment the calamity fund and QRFs.

Salary deduction
In the House of Representatives, Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. required each of the 285 members of the chamber to donate at least P20,000 of their salaries to victims of the storm.
In a press briefing, Belmonte said House Resolution No. 2017 was already being circulated to House members for signatures to allow the donation.
Belmonte and An Waray Representative Bem Noel said they were donating P100,000 each.
Alagad Representative Rodante Marcoleta said he was donating his one month salary on top of the 25 sacks of rice he had given to victims in Cagayan de Oro, which he coursed through Abante Mindanao Representative Maximo Rodriguez.
The Ako Bicol (AKB) party-list group said it would donate P250,000 to the victims in Cagayan de Oro.
“The situation needs an immediate national response. We have decided to give our all-out efforts, not just as an institution but as individuals,” Belmonte said.
He said he would present the resolution in plenary when the session resumes in January. “I am sure it will be unanimously endorsed by the entire membership. But we will now advance the amount to be given today (Monday) or tomorrow (Tuesday),” he added.

P1M from pork
Belmonte also urged congressmen to give P1 million each from their respective Priority Development Assistance Funds, also known as pork barrel, to be used in the rehabilitation of public infrastructure in the devastated areas.
“I am confident our colleagues will support this move,” Belmonte said.
Belmonte said the House would also give P1 million to the DSWD and half a million pesos each to the major television networks for their respective donation drives to aid victims of the calamity.

Cebu City donation
The Cebu City government will provide up to P5 million in financial assistance.
Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama said he would ask the Cebu City council to allocate between P3 million and P5 million, which would be shared by Cagayan de Oro, Iligan and other areas affected by Sendong.
Rama said the Cebu City budget office had certified the availability of P11 million in unused calamity funds.

Mobile morgue
He said the city would be sending its mobile morgue to Cagayan de Oro and Iligan to help identify and tag bodies fished out from the waters of neighboring provinces.
In Legazpi City, Governor Joey Salceda said Albay province donated P1 million to Cagayan de Oro and Iligan on Monday.
He said the cash assistance was drawn from the province’s calamity fund. Each city will get P500,000.

Albay’s gratitude
Salceda, in a text message, said “more than the amount which is modest, the Albay Sendong Aid Mission brings with it the spirit of solidarity and sense of kinship between our peoples,” a form of support which he said was “so critical to help them overcome this distressing period.”
He said the aid was also an expression of Albay’s gratitude to the local government units and the national government for the assistance they gave to Albay when it was hit by past disasters.
A team from the provincial legislative board and the provincial disaster risk reduction and management council is scheduled to leave for the two cities today to consult with local officials and communities on how Albay could further help assistance efforts.

Relief goods
Relief goods worth more than P17 million have been transported to Northern Mindanao to assist families in the devastated areas of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan, according to the DSWD.
The DSWD is still welcoming donations. Clothes, mats, blankets and bottled water are among the preferred items. Volunteers are also needed in the department’s Cagayan de Oro office on Fr. Masterson Avenue, Upper Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City, for the repacking of relief goods.
A total of P12.724 million worth of relief goods from the UN World Food Program, Maynilad and the Philippine Red Cross were brought to the DSWD office on Sunday.
Another P4.35 million worth of relief assistance from the DSWD was also brought to its Northern Mindanao office as standby relief sources.
Earlier, the DSWD said it had prepositioned P10.7 million in standby funds and P57.69 million worth of relief supplies for Sendong victims.
Help is also coming from the Department of Transportation and

Communications.
In a statement, Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II said he ordered the release of P1 million for the victims of the typhoon.

Puregold says on track to tripling earnings this year

Published : Tuesday, December 20, 2011 00:00
Written by : Krista Angela M. Montealegre

Puregold Price Club Inc. remains on track to nearly triple its earnings for the year, but warned that growth may slow down in 2012.
On the sidelines of the company’s 100th store opening in Taguig City, Leonardo Dayao, Puregold president, told reporters that the grocery chain operator remains on track to meet its profit target of
P1.5 billion, nearly triple the P510.40 million registered in 2010 based on the company’s prospectus.

Puregold has yet to “notice” the effect of overseas woes emanating from Europe and the United States as domestic consumption remains strong.

“If you look at the first three quarters, we’re growing at 30 to 31 percent in terms of gross revenues. Up to the end of the year, we’re confident we can sustain that,” said Dayao.

But after coming from a high base in 2011, growth is expected to stabilize to a lower level next year, he added.

At end-September, Puregold reported a 185 percent jump in net income to P1.08 billion from P379 million in the same period last year as revenues surged because of its rapid store expansion.

After opening its 100th store in Taguig, the company will open four to five more outlets before yearend. Puregold’s store network may reach 200 by 2014 as it launches 25 stores each in the next two years, marking the company’s expansion in the affluent cities in the Visayas and Mindanao.

From 2011 to 2013, the grocery chain will expand its store network in Davao, Rizal, Cavite, Bataan, Pangasinan, Baguio City, Ilocos Norte, Caloocan, Bulacan, Camarines Sur, Laguna, Quezon City, Legaspi City, Iloilo City, Leyte, Cebu City, Tarlac City, La Union and Albay.

In September, Puregold raised P7.5 billion from an initial public offering to pay down debt and finance its aggressive store expansion.

Puregold largely caters to the broad C and resellers markets, accounting for 65 percent and 35 percent of its business. It serves over 2 million households and 170,000 small entrepreneurs.
Its shares rose P0.54 to P18.20 each on Monday.

From a very reliable source: Another Puregold Mall is set to open in Albay province.:banana::banana::banana:

So Cong. Bichara's plan is finally to be implemented. We discussed this lengthily during our conversation last September when we saw each other at the airport. This is budgeted at P50 Million, enough to fund the expansion of the terminal and the setting up of landing equipment to allow night operations. I maybe pessimistic but I project that the BIA completion will take another 5 years at the shortest and 10 years at the longest assuming the way it has been moving over the last 5 years. Except if Chiz Escudero (or another Bicolano) becomes president in 2016.

Indeed you got a very pessimistic outlook about the project.i can't blame you for that. However you can't just connect the rehabilitation of the present legazpi airport with the rate of completion of the SLIA. i think both projects have two different goals. The rehabilitation is to solve the current problem now.The SLIA is envisioned for a bigger bicol region that is, in terms of economic activity, tourism and everthing..The good Governor sets a deadline for the SLIA project, and i believe its 2014. If you are underestimating the capabilities of Gov Salceda,most of Albayanos dont! Maray na Albay!

Of course, we all want to see that airport finished next year. But I just don't want to give myself false hope that that airport will be finished the way you guys expect it to be. Sometimes you just have to be practical based on actual experience. I don't have a problem either with the Gov. He is doing an excellent job. But the airport is not under his control, it's under a national budget. Arithmetically, there is no way at this point that BIA will be finished in 2014. Not with the way it is moving at the moment. That is why I agreed with Cong Bicharra's proposition that the old airport should at least be improved in the meantime.

What we can do is pray that concerned politicians will be enlightened to hasten the provision of budget for BIA.

you are correct, by actual experience, building airports in the philippines is really taking too long! but that was before, when the philippines has no clear direction on where to go..and i no longer see it now.i actually dont look at the delay by the Govt in the implementation of the PPP programs as a roadblock to the completion of SLIA in 2014...in fact once all the projects have been studied carefully by the NG, implementation will be fast...

Gary, i hope you can show us your math which makes SLIA impossible to complete by 2014. Maray na Albay buda Merry Christmas sa gabos!

‘Uraro’ could save Phl $200M in wheat importation - DA
by Danny O. Calleja
PIA (http://www.pia.gov.ph/?m=7&r=r05&id=69451)

LEGAZPI CITY, Dec 23 (PIA) –- The Philippines spends over $ 200 million yearly for food wheat flour importation, an amount that could be saved had it has been established earlier that arrowroots locally called “uraro” is a good substitute.
It is not too late however as the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) of the Department of Agriculture (DA) had already developed technologies for the commercial production of the crop and its processing into flour for bread, pastry, and other flour-based products, according to DA regional executive director for Bicol Jose Dayao.
In a statement, Dayao said the production technology is now being applied to pilot farms established by the DA-BAR and the Southern Tagalog Integrated Agricultural Research Center (STIARC) in Catanauan, Quezon for its arrowroot production enhancement program.
The technology interventions in the program include land preparation as farmers began plowing and harrowing their soil unlike in previous planting where no land preparation was practiced; use of new planting stock each season unlike the use of the same old stock prior to the program; and cutting of top leaves and excess roots of the planting materials before planting, Dayao said.
STIARC assistant manager for technical programs Rosemarie Olfato said in a separate statement that the program raised farmers’ “sense of ownership” in the project which enable able them to realize that agriculture can be a lucrative business.
The use of organic fertilizer was one of the major interventions of government in raising arrowroot production in the project, she said.
“We adopted the concept of participatory action research method derived from Social Psychology and Group Dynamics model developed by psychologist Kurt Lewin in formulating the uraro production program. It is aimed at improving performance quality of a community in an area of concern, agricultural productivity in this case," Alfato explained.
Farmers were also taught planting of three suckers per hill at 30 centimeter (cm) by 50 cm distance compared to the disorderly ”bugsok-tanim” done previously. They were also told to do weeding two-three times yearly.
In results, Alfato said yield increased over three times from 4.04 metric tons (MT) per hectare in 2010 to 12.7 MT in 2011. Growth was also impressive from 9.59 MT per hectare in 2010 to 20.8 MT. From planting to starch generation, gross income increased from P45,000 to P227,272 in 2011.
Non-government stakeholders on the other hand are helping Calauan farmers in providing for drying and food grade processing facilities while the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) had committed to provide the farmers involved in the project an equipment to be used in the mechanized recovery of starch from uraro tubers, according to Alfato .
The STIARC is also eying on the acquisition of a hammer mill for the uraro flour processing while the Quezon Provincial Agricultural Office will grant a cabinet type drying facility, she said.
While end-product from uraro at present is mainly cookies, Olfato said that with a product development program, STIARC can expand products to include baby food and starch-based food for adolescents with digestion problems.
“Our product is favored by our customers because of its color, purity, and consistency,” she added.
Dayao said uraro thrives anywhere in the country for as long as there’s enough moisture and “we are replicating the project in Bicol where a vast area of land could be used for a larger scale production of the crop and farmers need more government interventions toward better agricultural productivity.
According to BAR director Nicomedes Eleazar, “addressing the felt needs of farmers should be paramount to all development efforts as it encourages sustained people’s participation in government’s programs”.
The Philippines has long been in a search for food and wheat-based flour substitutes that may help reduce the country’s dependence on food wheat importation. Among these potential alternates are corn flour used in pan de sal, pigeonpea flour used in noodles and pasta, squash flour used in Food and Nutrition Research Institute’s “yellow pan de sal,” Eleazar said
A US Wheat Associates data indicated that the Philippines imported 2.28 million MT of wheat in 2010. Wheat is used for food and feed. With food accounting for around half of this, the country spends an estimate of more than $200 million for food wheat import, Eleazar added. (MAL/DCA, Legazpi City)

CEB further strengthens Cebu hub
Adds more flights starting February
By EMMIE V. ABADILLA

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines’ largest national flag carrier, Cebu Pacific (CEB), is mounting additional flights on February 8, 2012 to and from Cebu after the arrival of its brand-new Airbus A320 aircraft from Toulouse, France.

The airline flew 2.56 million passengers in and out of its Cebu hub from January to November 2011. CEB flies the most number of passengers, and operates the most number of flights, routes and destinations from Cebu.

CEB flew close to 11 million passengers from January to November 2011, a growth of 14% as compared to the same period last year. It also succeeded in flying 1 million passengers each for the months of April, May, October and November, a first for any Philippine carrier.

In a couple of months, CEB will add flights from Cebu to the following destinations: Manila (11 weekly flights), Boracay (4 weekly flights), Dipolog (3 weekly flights), Legazpi (4 weekly flights), Pagadian (2 weekly flights), and Siargao (1 weekly flight).

It will also increase seat capacity from Cebu to Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Iloilo and General Santos on the same dates. These routes will now use Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft.

CEB will likewise introduce thrice weekly Cebu-Kalibo flights starting February 24, 2012, and adds four times weekly Iloilo-Cagayan de Oro-Iloilo flights starting February 8, 2012.

“CEB is the largest airline operating in Cebu and our passengers have the fastest access to key cities in the Philippines and Asia,” noted CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog. “With even more flights starting February 2012, we’ll continue to offer them the most number of flight options and the lowest fares.”

“With the addition of the Cebu-Kalibo route in February, CEB offers flights to 20 domestic and 4 international (Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul, Pusan) destinations from Cebu, greatly contributing to the access of foreign tourists to the Central Visayas area,” she added.

Albay gets second Galing Pook award
(The Philippine Star) Updated December 25, 2011 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Albay’s health strategy towards the early attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) has won the province the Galing Pook Awards for 2011 – the second time in a row for health best practice.

The province was also chosen as one of the country’s Ten Outstanding Local Governance Programs.

Eddie Dorotan, Galing Pook Awards executive director, in a letter to Albay Gov. Joey Salceda, said the National Selection Committee cited Albay’s Health Strategy Towards Early Attainment of the MDG.

The Galing Pook Award will be officially conferred to Albay by January next year.

Albay has repeatedly won awards over the years, both national and international in the field of climate change adaptation and disaster risks reduction, education and health, and MDG-related programs.

Albay’s health programs have been comparably ingenious if not exceptional. building a health system that is sustainable through multi-sectoral contributions, revenue shares, and a domestic-universal health insurance scheme with a holistic aim of “health for all”.

Salceda said this strategy has helped his province attain the MDGs for health – infant mortality, child mortality and maternal mortality – in 2008, well ahead of the global target of 2015.

With the help of the Department of Health, Albay initiated the merger of the Bicol Regional Teaching and Training Hospital (BRTTH) in Legazpi City, the Ziga District Memorial Hospital in Tabaco City and the Josefina Belmonte Memorial Hospital in Ligao City.

The merger has made ,BRTTH as the biggest and most modern tertiary medical facility south of Manila with nearly 500 beds with ZMH and JBMH accounting for 50 and 80 beds, respectively.

The Oriental Legazpi celebrates the yuletide season with a Christmas buffet. Jasmine was filled with guests as they indulged on both native and international cuisines specially prepared for the night. Mouth watering dishes were complemented with salty side dishes and sweet, soft cakes.

City and provincial officials should come up with an ordinance requiring ALL radio and TV stations to put up their transmitters atop this mountain to widen their reach not only within the province and region but beyond--Northern Samar and Leyte and Romblon, Marinduque, and Southern Quezon.

In September 2008, when I went to Cataingan, Masbate (that's about 70 kilometers south of the capital Masbate City), aerials atop houses are trained towards Mt. Bariw; it can be assumed that Masbatenyos watch TV Patrol Bicol (this is unfortunate and humiliating; we carry the signal throughout a wider audience and yet Legazpi and Albay are marginalized in terms of content and promotion--this has to change to make it more favorable and beneficial to the Regional Center and transportation hub, Legazpi City). It's no wonder requests and dedications from these remote places are from time-to-time received by MOR deejays. Imagine Fox 89.9 or Spirit 94.7 broadcasting atop Mt. Bariw, these local stations would have farther reach using just a fraction of their transmission power; i.e., from 5000 watts to say just 3000--it would be a big savings in terms of electric bills and at the same time achieving wider reach.

Local gov’t cites drop of firecracker-related injuries, “zero” deaths in Albay (http://www.pia.gov.ph/?m=7&r=r05&id=70544&y=2012&mo=01)

LEGAZPI CITY, Jan 2 (PIA) -- The provincial government reported a drop in firecracker-related injuries and zero death in Albay in the wake of the New Year celebration.

Albay Governor Joey Salceda said reports relayed by police provincial director Senior Superintendent William S. Macavinta show that only five were injured caused by firecrackers in the entire province and zero death, compared to 27 reported incidents last year.

Summary list of firecracker-related incidents in Albay include one each in the cities of Tabaco, Ligao, and Legazpi and two in Daraga; firecrackers involved were baby rockets or “kwitis,” piccolo, super lolo.

Salceda attributed this outcome to the national and government’s aggressive campaign against the use of dangerous firecrackers in welcoming the New Year.

“We consider these outcomes of the “Iwas Paputok” campaign component of the Karangahan sa Pasko: Albay Green Christmas as “very successful,” Salceda noted.

“While five is not zero, still, this achievement was the result of an estimated 47 percent usage reduction of firecrackers to celebrate the New Year,” he added.

The governor furthered that the economic benefits from the reduced usage of firecrackers are estimated at P14 million savings.

It can be recalled that Albay observed Karangahan sa Pasko: Albay Green Christmas with two basic elements, that is, Karangahan featuring Fiesta Culinaria, Beer Plaza and Trade Fair; and Green Christmas showcasing Walang Plastikan and Iwas Paputok.

The police provincial, city, and municipal offices had early in December, step up information drive all over the province on Iwas Paputok, while the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) did rounds of different areas beefing up reminders to the public on the danger of firecrackers.

The provincial government, according to the governor, had always actively supported the Department of Health’s (DOH) annual campaign against firecrackers which is the leading cause of injuries and deaths during New Year celebration, especially on children exposed to the threats of firecrackers.

DOH this year pursued its APIR or Aksyon: Paputok Injury Reduction campaign with the help of the police, local governments, and other agencies in an effort to decrease the number of firecracker-related injuries and deaths while celebrating the New Year. (MAL-PIA V Albay)

Very nice suggestion sir Monsi. FOX 89.9 has a 2nd station in Taysan or Estanza I think. One time kasi I heard the DJ saying he is on the other "studio"
btw, FOX's signal in the 3rd dist. cannot be reached by my phone's radio. IDK why.

Iu baga Sivah, that's why ang intro baga kang Fox Fm sa station ID ninda is and I quote, "from the top of the hill to the valleys and shores of the Bicol Region" :cheers:

DPWH engineers in Bicol scored poorly in promotional test (http://www.businessmirror.com.ph/home/regions/21383-dpwh-engineers-in-bicol-scored-poorly-in-promotional-test)

LEGAZPI CITY—Public works and highways engineers in Bicol scored dismally in the most recent Civil Service Promotional Test conducted by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

The agency said not a single district engineer and assistant district engineer in the region’s 16 districts passed the test.

A source who requested anonymity said of the more than 60 engineers who took the Oct. 1 promotional test, only 17 passed it.

The test was held at the New Era University in Quezon City for Luzon-based engineers, Tacloban City for Visayas-based engineers, and Davao City for Mindanao-based engineers.

The source, however, said he has no idea as to the passing percentage for all the examinees.

The DPWH-CSC promotional test was first introduced during the stewardship of Secretary Gregorio Vigilar in 1997. It was a difficult test compared to the recently held test which had only 200 questions and multiple-choice answers that deals on management decision-making and technical aspect.

DPWH regional maintenance engineer Antonio Saguinsin who also took the test confirmed that only seven engineers from Bicol had passed the test, saying Fermin Peteza who was the overall topnotcher in the 1997 promotional test was among the seven passers. Peteza is the current chief of the region’s Quality Assurance Unit holding a rank of Engineer V. Only those with the rank of Engineer III upward were qualified to take the test.

The test is the basis for promotion to a higher rank similar to the criteria of the promotional test in 1997.

But retired district engineer Manuel Saret who was among the passers during the 1997 test said that many DPWH engineers in Bicol who flunked the 1997 test were promoted for unknown reasons.

A source from the Civil Service Commission said the 1997 test flunkers should have never been promoted.

Saret said among the flunkers who was an engineer III at that time was promoted to district engineer in 2000 and is now among the division chiefs at the regional office holding an item of Engineer V.

Those who passed the recently held promotional test were Fermin Peteza, Benjamin Buitre, Eleanor Areola, Rebecca Roces, Marilou Sariba all from the regional office; Nilda Doloiras from Sorsogon Distrrict Engineering; and one from Camarines Sur District Engineering whose name has not been provided.

DPWH regional director Danilo Dequito had earlier said that flunkers occupying the positions of district engineers, assistant district engineers, division chiefs, and section chiefs in an acting capacity and holding a rank lower than what is required will be replaced by qualified engineers.

He said the criteria for promotion will be strictly followed, saying passing the Oct. 1 promo test is the first step.

Dequito and his assistant regional director Jesus Salmo are reportedly Career Executive Service Officers (Ceso). But according to Mike Aguilar of the private construction industry, Dequito was not a Ceso when designated in Bicol in October when the Aquino administration was determined in terminating non-Ceso holders appointed by the Arroyo administration.

Aguilar said Dequito became a full-pledged Ceso officer only last Sept. 30.

The appointment of Dequito and Salmo in Bicol had caused the termination of regional director Danilo Manalang and assistant regional directors Oscar Cristobal and Jaime Martinez.

Local gov’t cites drop of firecracker-related injuries, “zero” deaths in Albay (http://www.pia.gov.ph/?m=1&t=1&id=70544)

LEGAZPI CITY, Jan 2 (PIA) -- The provincial government reported a drop in firecracker-related injuries and zero death in Albay in the wake of the New Year celebration.

Albay Governor Joey Salceda said reports relayed by police provincial director Senior Superintendent William S. Macavinta show that only five were injured caused by firecrackers in the entire province and zero death, compared to 27 reported incidents last year.

Summary list of firecracker-related incidents in Albay include one each in the cities of Tabaco, Ligao, and Legazpi and two in Daraga; firecrackers involved were baby rockets or “kwitis,” piccolo, super lolo.

Salceda attributed this outcome to the national and government’s aggressive campaign against the use of dangerous firecrackers in welcoming the New Year.

“We consider these outcomes of the “Iwas Paputok” campaign component of the Karangahan sa Pasko: Albay Green Christmas as “very successful,” Salceda noted.

“While five is not zero, still, this achievement was the result of an estimated 47 percent usage reduction of firecrackers to celebrate the New Year,” he added.

The governor furthered that the economic benefits from the reduced usage of firecrackers are estimated at P14 million savings.

It can be recalled that Albay observed Karangahan sa Pasko: Albay Green Christmas with two basic elements, that is, Karangahan featuring Fiesta Culinaria, Beer Plaza and Trade Fair; and Green Christmas showcasing Walang Plastikan and Iwas Paputok.

The police provincial, city, and municipal offices had early in December, step up information drive all over the province on Iwas Paputok, while the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) did rounds of different areas beefing up reminders to the public on the danger of firecrackers.

The provincial government, according to the governor, had always actively supported the Department of Health’s (DOH) annual campaign against firecrackers which is the leading cause of injuries and deaths during New Year celebration, especially on children exposed to the threats of firecrackers.

DOH this year pursued its APIR or Aksyon: Paputok Injury Reduction campaign with the help of the police, local governments, and other agencies in an effort to decrease the number of firecracker-related injuries and deaths while celebrating the New Year. (MAL-PIA V Albay)

Phivolcs, Albay disaster authorities appeal for return of Mayon monitoring gadget (http://www.pia.gov.ph/?m=1&t=1&id=70066)

by Marlon A. Loterte

LEGAZPI CITY, Dec 28 (PIA) -- The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) and disaster authorities in the province of Albay appealed for the nth time for the return of the volcanic monitoring instrument stolen last week.

Phivolcs research analyst Alex Baloloy said the digital tilt meter installed in Barangay San Roque has since last week, not transmitting data, prodding personnel from the institute to inspect the instrument, but it had been stolen.

The digital tilt meter is an instrument owned and used by Phivolcs to measure slight changes in the inclination of the earth's surface, especially volcanic and seismic activities of the Mayon volcano.

With the loss of the instrument, Baloloy said, the observatory center can not and will not be able to detect activities of Mayon in that specific site, furthermore, it will hamper the issuance of more precise reports and advisories that may help save the lives of residents nearby.

In the wake of the incident, observers urged barangay officials, including residents, with similar monitoring instrument in their area to be also more vigilant and protect the instrument for their own good.

Phivolcs in Mayon Volcano Observatory Center meanwhile remains optimistic that the instrument would be returned.

Phivolcs, on the other hand, has already requested headquarters for funding of the replacement of the instrument, according to Baloloy.

Meanwhile, Mayon Volcano’s (13.2500°N, 123.6833°E) seismic network today (December 28) did not detect any volcanic earthquake during the past 24 hours, while steaming activity and crater glow could not be observed due to thick clouds covering the summit, according to Phivolcs latest bulletin.

Mayon Volcano’s alert status remains at Alert Level 1.

Although this means that no eruption is imminent, Phivolcs explained, it is strongly advised that the public refrain from entering the six-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) due to the threat of sudden steam-driven eruptions and rockfalls from the upper and middle slopes of the volcano.

The institute also warned that active stream/river channels and those identified as perennially lahar prone areas on all sectors of the volcano should also be avoided especially during bad weather or when there is heavy and prolonged rainfall.

Bulusan Volcano’s (12.7667°N, 124.0500°E) in Sorsogon province, on the other hand, Alert Level 1 status is strongly reiterated over Bulusan Volcano following manifestations of some restiveness recently.

Phivolcs reminded anew the local government units and the public are reminded that entry to the four-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) is strictly prohibited due to the possibility of sudden steam and ash eruptions.

The institute also advised civil aviation authorities to warn pilots to avoid flying close to the volcano’s summit as ejecta from sudden eruptions may be hazardous to aircraft.

Furthermore, people living within valleys and along river/stream channels should be vigilant against sediment-laden stream flows and lahars in the event of heavy and prolonged rainfall. (MAL-PIA V/ALbay)

Senate to amend law creating Climate Change Commission

LEGAZPI CITY (3 Jan 2012) – The Senate will pass a bill that seeks to amend the composition of the Climate Change Commission (CCC), replacing the President with a full time chairperson that will work 24/7, Senator Francis Escudero said over the weekend.
Escudero said while the government coped and did what it could to address the impact of Climate Change, it needed to reorganize the composition of the CCC and be a 24/7 fully functioning commission.
He said that Congress had made a mistake when it passed the bill creating the commission and putting the President as its chairman.
The President has so many work to attend to, and placing him to chair various commission under him would not be manageable and efficient.
Escudero said: “When the President heads a commission, meetings are always dependent on his availability, and therefore vital issues and concerns could not be immediately resolved.”
The Bicol solon at a press conference here said the impact of Climate Change was indeed felt in the communities, citing that Mindanao has always been free from typhoons but because of climate change, the path of typhoons now passes this area.
He also cited that in Bicol being a typhoon belt area where Super typhoons Reming and Milenyo ravaged the region in 2006, killing over thousands of people and displacing tens of thousands of families, while damages to infrastructure and agriculture have reached over billions of pesos.
But because of climate change, the region for the past five years was lucky enough that no typhoons hit the place, as typhoons that usually moves towards the Bicol peninsula is now moving towards the north and south. (PNA)

Escudero for President!!!:banana::banana::banana:

More flights from Cebu set (http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/346877/more-flights-cebu-set)
By MALOU M. MOZO
January 3, 2012, 4:10pm

CEBU CITY, Cebu, Philippines — Capitalizing on what could most likely be robust growth in domestic travel next year, Cebu Pacific bared it will mount additional flights to and from Cebu in time for the arrival of its brand-new Airbus A320 aircraft from the Airbus facility in Toulouse, France.

Beginning February 8, Cebu Pacific said the airline will have additional flights from Cebu to Manila (11 weekly flights), Boracay (four flights weekly), Dipolog (three flights weekly), Legazpi (four flights weekly), Pagadian (two flights weekly) , and Siargao (one weekly flight).

It will also increase seat capacity from Cebu to Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Iloilo and General Santos on the same dates. These routes will now use the Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft.

“With even more flights starting February 2012, Cebu Pacific will continue to offer customers with the most number of flight options and the lowest fares,” said Cebu Pacific Vice President for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog.

The airline flew 2.56 million passengers in and out its Cebu hub from January to November this year. The company said it now flies the most number of passengers and operates the most number of flights, routes and destinations from Cebu.

Cebu Pacific is also introducing thrice weekly Cebu-Kalibo flights starting February 24, and adding four times weekly Iloilo-Cagayan de Oro-Iloilo flights starting February 8.

It will also offer flights to 20 domestic and four international (Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul, Pusan) destinations from Cebu, greatly contributing to the access of foreign tourists to the Central Visayas area, Iyog said. An additional Cebu-Kalibo flight is also scheduled.

^^The Cebu-Legazpi route is indeed a profitable route for Cebu Pacific despite using the smaller prop planes. No wonder Airphil Express wants a piece of the pie!
