The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) on Tuesday announced the government’s plan to privatize the old Bacolod and Cagayan de Oro airports to avoid being idled as a result of the development of the new Bacolod-Silay and Laguindingan airports.

“In view of the establishment of the new Bacolod-Silay and the projected completion of the Laguindinga, Misamis Oriental airports, the government is now planning to privatize the old Bacolod airport located at Bacolod City, Negros Occidental and the Cagayan de Oro Airport located at Barangay Lumbia, Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental,” Transportation and Communication Secretary Leandro Mendoza, said.

The DOTC chief said that the privatization plan is in line with the policy of the government to recognize the indispensable role of the private sector as the main engine for national growth and development.

Mendoza also said that the proceeds of the sale could be used to finance other government infrastructure programs.

Likewise, Mendoza assure that the planned privatization will be done through a public sale process in accordance with Executive Order 323, an issuance governing the privatization program of the government, and other applicable laws, rules and regulations on privatizations of government assets and properties. - JAMES KONSTANTIN GALVEZ

I would wish that the development of the Legazpi Airport site will be given to the private sector who has the experience. Just like the Manduriao airport in Iloilo which was won by Megaworld in the bidding. I would not want it to suffer the same fate as what is happening now to the Landco Business District. Medyo kulang sa funding and planning kaya magulo an current set-up. The Legazpi airport site should definitely be developed as a well planned community. But the concentration of development should be balanced with the plans to partially focus expansions in the southern upland barangays. I would not recommend a residential community in the area for reason of threats from natural calamities.

Good point. I am more in favor of residential and commercial development to expand towards the southern barangays. Maybe part of the decommissioned airport should be integrated with the Ligñon Hill Nature Park and Albay Wildlife Park (which are adjacent to the airport) to create a park/resort/tourism complex right in the heart of the city.

;49534071']Mayon's beauty & fury (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=537533&publicationSubCategoryId=87)
RENDEZVOUS By Christine S. Dayrit (The Philippine Star) Updated January 03, 2010 12:00 AM

There are times when we simply revere what we fear. No matter how we are advised to take extreme precautions, we gravitate towards the ultimate challenge, conquering it and transforming our lives like never before.

Such is the experience of witnessing at night the beauty amid fury of the petulantly active Mayon Volcano in the Bicol region. The scene is cataclysmic and providential at once. To the uninitiated visitor, the spectacle is both humbling and unnerving. I must admit, two weeks ago, I reveled at the spellbinding spectacle. Silently, I also offered a prayer for those living within the eight-kilometer perimeter danger zone who were all successfully relocated to safer evacuation sites.

My experience of volcano tourism was the result of a sudden and unplanned journey that turned out to be a life-altering experience. This time, I was literally an accidental tourist. My dear brother Mark requested me to attend a meeting for him with gracious DepEd Region 5 Director Celedonio Layon in Albay, Bicol. Without batting an eyelash, I had myself booked on my favorite local airline Cebu Pacific. With the island paradise literally seething, I had been attuned to all the Phivolcs reports about the hideous volcanic activity of late but surmised if the flights weren’t cancelled, it was still safe to fly.

After the meeting, my dear friend Cesar Fernandez, GM of the posh Hotel Venezia, just a stone’s throw from the Legazpi airport, prepared a hearty lunch of Black Angus sinigang, pinakbet and their heavenly chocolate cake. He encouraged me to spend the night to witness the marvel of the active volcano, which can be viewed best from his property. He added that one can actually consider the volcanic activity as either boon or bane — depending on how one chooses. A volcanic eruption is truly frightening if you are living within the eight-kilometer danger zone or its vicinity. It is impossible to admire its beauty when one is besieged by loss of life and property. However, when viewed from a safe distance — away from danger — it’s like looking through rose-tinted glass and can be truly spectacular and dramatic.

Bicol Tourism Director Nini Ravanilla described Mayon as a timeless tourist attraction and shared that many were awed by the sheer unadulterated beauty and drama of the smoldering volcano. I learned that the 8,070-foot (2,460-meter) volcano known for its perfect cone has erupted nearly 40 times over the past 400 years. At first, I was terrified but later, the invitation appealed to the extreme challenger in me. My dear friends Rita Trinidad and Loida Rapal eventually joined me for moral support. Rita’s loving mother, Carmen Saguin, who went to school in Legazpi, encouraged the sojourn and attested one must witness the nocturnal volcano adventure at least once in a lifetime. On this brief stay, we experienced the most awesome activities in deluxe swashbuckling style.

From Hotel Venezia, we rode a deluxe van to the jetty at the Embarkadero commercial complex just 15 minutes away. The Embarkadero is a modern shopping mall where an array of restaurants fronts the boardwalk with all its festive lights and progressive architecture. From here, we boarded a 24-seater air-conditioned fast-craft en route to our home for the night, the stunning Misibis Bay Raintree resort, proudly a distinguished member of the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World. In 20 minutes, we were in five-star paradise. Misibis Bay Raintree, located in Albay Gulf, is situated in an island surrounded by hills and farmlands, bordered by the Pacific Ocean and Sula Channel. Gracious GM Ian Varona said the property is 36 kilometers away from the volcano.

When night dropped its cloak, we took another fast-craft ride to go around Cagraray Bay to witness the majesty of Mayon that was unleashing its molten fury. The minute we boarded the fast-craft from Misibis to view the petulant Mayon, our hearts were filled with excitement and trepidation. The power unleashed by the volcano is like nothing else on earth. You suddenly realize some things are better experienced than explained.

Ominous gray and powdery ash drifted down like hail and light snow. A cloud of smoke hovered around the mountaintop crater. Suddenly, liquid lava flowed like glowing embers shooting into the air from a cracked pipe accompanied by what appeared as blood-red fireworks and booming sounds. A synergy of both beauty and fury compounded as the seething Mayon spewed globs of huge molten rock like pterodactyls under the star-strewn sky.

Volcanoes have always terrified and fascinated mankind. They play a significant part in many legends. In some, volcanoes are gateways to the underworld. In others, they are the smoking chimneys of the underground shop of Vulcan, the blacksmith god. Visiting active volcanic and geothermal environments is not new. This form of tourism was included in the “Grand Tour” undertaken by many affluent Europeans several centuries ago in order to broaden their horizons. The geothermal regions of Italy, Greece and Iceland are well documented as prime destinations of this era. Today Mount Fuji in Japan attracts millions of visitors per year and has immense cultural and spiritual significance, while a number of volcanic areas in national parks, for example Teide in Spain, Yellowstone in the US, Vesuvius in Italy and Tongariro in New Zealand, attract a multitude of tourists each year.

From the fast-craft cruising along the Cagraray Bay, where we were sipping champagne and savoring hors d’oeuvres, we marveled at Mother Nature’s fury, like a woman scorned, a tempest in a teapot. Soon, all this phenomena will settle down and the air will be cleared to expose an even more dramatic terrain punctuated by the natural forces that shape our landscape. Such is life in this ethereal region, where Mayon has become a way of life. While others may be instructed to evacuate and flee from the danger area of the spurious volcano during this time, there is also great reason to return when all is calm and bright.

We went island hopping aboard jet skis through the most marvelous watery channels, tried spelunking in the dramatic Pototan Caves where intriguing forms of stalactites and stalagmites abound and had a delicious lunch of fresh seafood, fruits and deserts in an isolated sandy cove under towering palm fronds. After lunch, we were fetched by a helicopter for the breathtaking island tour. Jovially, our adventurous trio combed the ocean below us in search of the not-so-elusive whale sharks. We were advised there were recent sightings of six to eight of these giant denizens of the deep swimming together like sublime submarines. The New Year heralds the start of the season for exhilarating whale shark encounters.

On our way back to Manila, many eager tourists from Asia, America, Europe and Africa had just landed to get a glimpse of the beauty and fury of Mayon Volcano. Marcel Proust once said, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” I agree. It’s all about seeing things from a different perspective, and experiencing God’s mighty hand in all of it. As we come up close and personal with what once terrified us, we alter our consciousness. Gratefully, this time we will no longer fear what we revere.

Mayon continues to calm down (http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/regions/01/06/10/mayon-continues-calm-down)
abs-cbnNEWS.com | 01/06/2010 11:57 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Mayon Volcano's activity has continued to calm down after its alert level was lowered from 4 to 3, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said Wednesday. Phivolcs' 7 a.m. bulletin said its volcanologists detected only 4 volcanic earthquakes and 21 rockfall events since Tuesday. It added that pale crater glow was also observed Tuesday night and the volcano's sulfur dioxide emission has decreased to an average of 1,914 tons per day.

"Emission of moderate volume of white steam was observed at the summit crater during cloud breaks yesterday," the Phivolcs bulletin added. Alert Level 3 remains hoisted over the volcano, which means residents should continue to avoid reentering the 6-kilometer permanent dangerous zone. It added that the 7-kilometer extended danger zone on the southeast flank of the volcano should also be "free from human activity."

More than 2,000 families, whose houses are located inside the 6-kilometer permanent danger zone, remained in evacuation centers. The provincial government has already brought back more than 7,000 families to the extended danger zones since the lowering of the alert level around the volcano.

thanks for the photo joks...will this be renovated with design just like the BICC?

in the meantime im hearing something that a wakeboarding facility will rise in dapdap-puro area? how true is this?

I heard about this wakeboarding too. At first I'm hesitant about that 'cause it seems a copycut, but well if it happens well fine. ICR is not BICC.:)

I'm an international tourist I suppose, although the Philippines is considered my second home.
All travellers have their own views on the same location.
I have been to Bicol and Legaspi before. All I have ever wanted to do is go back there. That alone should speak loudly about how much I love the area.

Brad

Sure you are always welcome. Maray na Albay!:)

FYI, if your postcounts drop to below 30, your account gets flagged as a "newbie" (of sorts). And all your posts will be moderated until further approved by a mod. It's one of the deterents against spammers out there that loves to spam the boards, and since most spammers quit when they don't see their posts, they just leave defeated. Hahaha!

My suggestion is to diversify your postings. Don't post in just one thread, peruse the board and broaden your horizons and knowledge about what's going on in other locales aside from your own; or join in the discussion in other topics that may also interest you.

Another thing, the reason why your postcounts drop is because once a thread is at capacity (1000 posts or more), it's closed and archived. Posts in archived threads aren't tallied, and therefore aren't included in your current postcount.

This new development battle cry takes off from the gains of the previous Albay Mabuhay development programs, supported by the national government, the most significant of which are:

The DARAGA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT with a budget of P3.4 B,

REMING RECONSTRUCTION with relocation program, with 10,076 lots and almost 5,000 shelter units built, worth P1.25 B, the repair of 5,600 classrooms at P478 M and repair of public infrastructure worth P776 M

The installation of a MODERN DOPPLER RADAR worth P560 M which although put up in Virac, catanduanes, it principally benefits Albay, and actually an initiative of Albay Province

4Ps (PANTAWID PAMILYANG PILIPINO PROGRAM) for the three (3) cities of Ligao, Tabaco and Legazpi, and 11 towns which would benefit 70,000 poor families at P1,400 per month for five (5) years with an annuan expenditure of P977.3 M, larger than Albay's provincial budget and would total P5 B in five years.

The new development program of Albay Provincial Government, ALBAY RISING, aims to firmly put the province in the map of the country and attract attention of investors, tourists and traders. It has five E’s:

Albay Rising: 5 “E”s

ECONOMY

Daraga International Airport that would optimize the geostrategic position of Albay as gateway to Bicol trade and tourism

Guicadale Business Platform that would spur and integrate Albay and Sorsogon into one common economy enlarging demand base and better economies of scale that would attract domestic and foreign investments while spurring greater competition that would lower cost of distribution

National Renewable Energy Capital which would increase our geothermal capacity to 640MW from the current 400MW making Albay the biggest source of green energy in Luzon

Medical Educational Ecocultural Tourism development anchored by Magayon Festival and MEET Albay.

AICASA (Albay Integrated Comprehensive Advance Strategies for Agriculture) which posted a 23% increase in rice production making Albay the best performing province in FIELDS according the study of DA-UPLB-SEARCA and an aggressive Agri-rehab: 1.8m coco seedlings distributed, fisheries rehab

Disaster risk reduction combining institutional innovation, indigenous knowledge and information technology through APSEMO (Albay Public Safety and Emergency Management Office), AHEM (Albay Health Emergency Management), preemptive evacuation, permanent evacuation centers, safe schools, safe hospitals and facilities modernization.

Gained recognition here and abroad, among which are Galing Pook, Gawad Kalasag from NDCC and LOCIM from UNDP and SNV, a Dutch aid agency.

We have procured 13 new rubber boats brining our capacity to 25, the biggest for any province, and 9 new ambulances increasing our response capability to 41, also the biggest for any LGU. We have acquired state of the art communications systems, the first for any LGU in Southeast Asia.

We are constructing six permanent evacuation centers at P30m, each funded by AECID so that we do not displace students from their studies even during evacuation. From the current state where classrooms are used as evacuation centers, these evacuation centers will serve as classrooms when there is no disaster. We are working with JICA for the establishment of bigger evacuation centers next year worth P380m.

Albay Rising: 5 “E”s

EQUITY

Our flagship program is 4Ps (Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program) - from only Libon to 14 LGUs including all three cities and 11 municipalities that could benefit 70,000 poor families at P1,400 per month for five years with an annual expenditure of P977.3m which is larger than our provincial budget and would reach almost P5bn in five years, even bigger than the international airport

Barangay Capacity Enhancement downloaded half of our development fund at P100T annually to every barangay for their own priorities and their own procurement and implementation. This amounts to P72m per year and would run its third year in 2010 or P216m

We have secured from the national government:

P32m SEA-K LOANS to Women’s Associations

P50m E-TODA LOANS to transport groups

P20m TESDA vouchers for welders, baristas, drivers and other vocational courses

CRABS (Cagraray, Rapu-rapu, Batan & San Miguel) converged with our GIDA (Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas) Health and our adaptation initiatives for small island coastal communities

Albay Tres, an approved program under JICA’s ARISP 3, covering our floodplains and rice granary - the 3 towns: Polangui, Libon, Oas, including PURE (Polangui Upland Resource & Environment)

Albay Mabuhay social assets program: continuing support to relocated communities

Marginal fishermen are our poorest sector particularly in the Albay West Coast. We are launching FISDA or Fisheries Integrated Sector Development in Albay with a P30m initial budget being sourced.

EDUCATION

Under AHECS (Albay Higher Education Contribution Scheme) which is based on the highly successful Australian model for college student financing, we are borrowing P1bn from Landbank to underwrite universal access to tertiary education with our goal of “A COLLEGE GRADUATE IN EVERY FAMILY, A COLLEGE DIPLOMA IN EVERY HOUSE”

Under EQUAL (Education Quality for Albayanos), we pursued universal scholarship grants in community colleges and satellite campuses and we have budgeted P37m annually since 2007 to support 14,000 college students.

GRASSP (Graduate Studies Subsidy Program) which provided financial assistance to those pursuing higher studies in order to attain our aim of 150 PhDs and 1,000 MAs/MS

TOTAL (Ten Outstanding Teachers of Albay): outstanding teachers and schools has been appreciated by our teaching community and acknowledged even by Metrobank

Provincial Department of Education: first and only in the Philippines. And with AHECS, it would soon become the biggest department of the provincial government

BU Modernization: We have mobilized almost P380m for the modernization of Bicol University to enable it to become a premier institution of learning south of Manila.

Mayon Volcano Bulletin 24

06 January 2010
7:00 AM

For the past 24 hours, the seismic network around Mayon Volcano (13.2576 N, 123.6856 E) detected 4 volcanic earthquakes and 21 rockfall events related to the detachment of lava fragments at the volcano’s upper slopes. Emission of moderate volume of white steam was observed at the summit crater during cloud breaks yesterday. Pale crater glow was observed last night. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) emission rate measured yesterday yielded an average value of 1,914 tonnes /day.

Interaction of rain water with the hot lava deposits caused 50-meter high dirty white clouds that drifted towards southwest. These occurred along Bonga gully, about 300 meters downslope of the summit crater at 7:09 AM and 7:15 AM yesterday.

January 6th, 2010, 09:01 AM

Safe sites to view lava flow from Mayon recommended (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=538319&publicationSubCategoryId=67)
By Cet Dematera (The Philippine Star) Updated January 06, 2010 12:00 AM

LEGAZPI CITY , Philippines – Tourism and disaster management officials in Bicol yesterday welcomed the plan to put up new viewing sites for the lava fronts facing this city. Maria “Nini” Ravanilla, director of the Department of Tourism in Bicol, said that her office would suggest to name them as “Mayonian lava viewing sites” to indicate a series of activities promoting “Ma*yo**nian tourism.”

“We will recommend to our concerned officials here to construct safe sites to view lava where visitors and tourists can stay. And we will plan out activities that will help promote our Mayonian tourism,” Ravanilla told The STAR She said the existing golf course just outside the new lava front could be a potential site.

The idea of putting up a lava viewing site developed following reports that both local and foreign tourists, including tour guides and media men, continued to troop to the new lava front that settled up to the six-kilometer permanent danger zone boundary of the Buyuan-Padang channel, or the portion of Mayon facing Legazpi City.

Even Cedric Daep, chief of the Albay Public Safety and Emergency Management Office (Apsemo), subscribed to the plan for as long as the viewing sites are a safe distance away and outside the PDZ. “It is alright for us if they will put up viewing sites for the lava deposits as long as they are safe and outside the permanent danger zone,” Daep said.

Alex Baloloy, resident volcanologist here of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), said the new lava front deposited at the Buyuan-Padang channel is closer to the portion of the national highway, or at 6.5 aerial kilometers from the main road, than the old lava deposit dumped by the 2006 Mayon eruption in Mabinit channel about 7.3 aerial kilometers from the highway.

The Bicol tourism officers confirmed that the influx of tourists in Albay had swollen to more than 200 percent in December, or while Mayon’s soft eruption was in progress, as compared to the arrivals in December 2008. DOT’s random surveys, according to Ravanilla, estimated an average of 2,500 tourist arrivals a day in December, as compared to only about 1,000 tourists a day in December 2008.

Hotel occupancy during this month rose to about 80 percent, compared to 46 percent during the same month in 2008. Ravanilla also said that the multiplier effects of the volcano tourism have generated about 3,000 jobs in hotels, restaurants, resorts, and transportation industry, among others. “In fact Bicol might further improve its present tourism ranking of number six, to number four because of the recent Mayon eruption,” the DOT-Bicol director said.

Eerily silent

Moreover, Phivolcs said that the volcanic activities at Mayon continued to decline with only three volcanic earthquakes detected in the last 24 hours. Phivolcs, however, maintained Alert Level 3 at Mt. Mayon despite the decrease in volcanic activities in the past few days. Phivolcs director Renato Solidum said three volcanic earthquakes and 21 rock fall events related to the detachment of lava fragments at the volcano’s upper slopes were detected by the seismic monitoring network during the past 24 hours.

However, rains prevented the volcanologists from closely monitoring all of Mayon’s activities. Phivolcs said steaming activity and crater glow were not observed due to thick clouds that covered the summit crater. Phivolcs maintained Alert Level 3 over Mayon, which means that magma is close to the crater, and eruption is possible within weeks.

But despite the general order to allow some 47,000 evacuees to return home starting Saturday, Albay Gov. Joey Salceda has not allowed some 469 families from Barangay Anoling in Camalig and Barangay Bañadero in Daraga to return home. – With Celso Amo

Does anyone have a picture of the old Albay Capitol Annex 1 and 2? The new Capitol Annex that we have now had three buildings. The Capitol Annex 1 which housed the Provincial Health Office. Beside it was the Albay Provincial Engineering Office. Then at the back where the Astrodome is located was Annex #2. I remember the Governor's Office starting with Governors Seva, Estevez and Diding Imperial were located in Annex 2 because it was the newest.

I still remember the old Capitol Annex on the corner of Washington Drive (Albay Astrodome side). I'm just not sure if it housed the Albay Provincial Library as well.

nice shots Dex.

Because the other towns and cities have also their own small scale mall and restaurants, meaning, not too dependent to Legazpi. So, Legazpi always make a difference so that the people from these neighboring places will visit Legazpi.

Yeah I stayed there with my Manila friends. I posted some pictures sa last thread. Kaso ewan ko dun ang liit. The fine dining restaurant is cozy and the price is reasonable, more luxurious I think than the mall resto. The room is from Php3,000-Php7,000 but worth it, as in worth it. They have pool, parlor, gym, massage parlor, 2convention centers ( for small and big crowd), etc. :)

Small explosions still possible at Mayon (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=538614&publicationSubCategoryId=67)
By Helen Flores (The Philippine Star) Updated January 07, 2010 12:00 AM

Mayon volcano is seen in the background as a farmer tends to a rice field in Barangay Busay, Daraga, Albay yesterday. Most evacuees have returned home as volcanic activities continue to decline. ERNIE PEÑAREDONDO

MANILA, Philippines - Despite the reported decline in volcanic earthquakes at Mt. Mayon in the past several days, the country’s chief volcanologist yesterday said small explosions are still possible, as the sulfur dioxide emission remained high. Asked if they are considering the possibility of further lowering the alert level at Mayon from 3 to 2, Renato Solidum, director of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), said the low number of volcanic quakes would not be the only basis in doing so.

“You don’t just drop the alert level… volcanic earthquake is just one of the parameters, we have to look at all the parameters,” Solidum told The STAR. In its latest advisory, Phivolcs said four volcanic quakes were recorded in the past 24 hours. Solidum said the volume of sulfur dioxide emitted though remained high. “The volume of sulfur dioxide gas was over 1,000 tons based on our latest observation,” he said, adding that this means that magmatic degassing is going on inside the volcano.

Meanwhile, Albay Gov. Joey Salceda and officials of the province’s Public Safety and Emergency Management Office clarified yesterday that 313 of the 510 families who were not allowed to return home were not in evacuation camps anymore but in resettlement sites where they were brought after the Mayon eruption and the onslaught of typhoon “Reming” in 2006.

In fact, these families were already awarded their lots at the Anislag relocation site in Daraga town for the Bañadero evacuees, and at the Tula-Tula resettlement site in Legazpi City for the Anoling evacuees in Camalig town, Salceda said. – With Cet Dematera

I really liked the old Penaranda Park. It looked clean and expansive unlike now where it looks cramped and sometimes dirty. The provincial government saw to it that the park is always clean and green. Sana pinagayon na lang su mga walkways tapos kinagan na sana ki mga magagayon na mga ilaw. Looking out from my 28th floor window here in the office at the newly developed park at the Roxas Quadrangle of Makati (Paseo de Roxas cor Makati Ave.), I remembered the Penaranda Park of old.

As far as I know, when the Tourism Bldg or PDCC (in 1970 I think) was constructed it was originally conceived as the Provincial Cultural Center patterned after the CCP. I'm sure the lack of adequate funds derailed the plans. By the way, that location was formerly a Children's Park. May mga swing, seesaw, etc. (Is there a children's park in Legazpi now?)

There's one in the old Kalayaan Park but it is already decrepit. I would like to see the area of the old public market converted into a green park with lots of trees. It should be Legazpi's own little Central Park.

I agree on this, rather than construct another mall or huge building in that area. This should be included in the redevelopment of the old business district of Legazpi Port.

Albay releases P3-M core shelter assistance to evacuees (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=251241)
By Mike dela Rama

LEGAZPI CITY, Jan. 7 (PNA) – The provincial government of Albay has released the initial assistance to the remaining evacuees from Barangay Anoling, Camalig town amounting to P3 million for the construction of their core shelters. Albay Governor Joey Salceda announced Thursday that the remaining 258 families from Barangay Anoling can start building their core shelters (houses) in the lots already given to them by the provincial government of Albay inside the FVR resettlement site.

“The P3 million is an assistance of the provincial government so that the remaining families who are still occupying several classrooms in the Anoling Elementary School (which is within the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone) so that they will be completely transferred to their new homes and ease them the burden of scampering for their lives during lahar floods, eruption and even typhoons,” Salceda explained.

The governor said that the “no classes policy” must be observed if classrooms are still being occupied by evacuees. “I reiterated to the mayor of Camalig town that it is against the provincial policy for evacuees being moved out of classrooms since it violates their dignity,” he said.

Salceda pressed for the immediate release of the fund after learning that evacuees were moved out from classrooms so that classes could be held. “I ordered the Provincial Engineering office to set up three tents which is good for six classrooms at the FVR resettlement site in Camalig town so that classes can proceed while classrooms continue to serve as temporary homes of evacuees while waiting for the completion of their core shelter,” the governor said.

No fresh lava on Mayon crater - Phivolcs (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=538866&publicationSubCategoryId=67)
By Cet Dematera (The Philippine Star) Updated January 08, 2010 12:00 AM

LEGAZPI CITY , Philippines – Five days after its alert level was lowered from 4 to 3, Mayon volcano further subsided with an aerial survey showing no fresh lava on its crater. “What we can see is a small volume of lava pile or incandescent material resting at the inner crater wall. No fresh lava is also visible,” Ed Laguerta, resident volcanologist here of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), said as he reviewed video footage from the aerial survey.

Fellow volcanologist Alex Baloloy said though that 20 volcanic earthquakes were recorded in the past 24 hours – from only four on Tuesday – as well as 20 rockfall events. The volume of sulfur dioxide emitted, however, drastically dropped to 672 tons from 1,914 tons the other day. If these abnormal parameters continue to subside in a few more days, Baloloy said Mayon’s alert level could possibly be reduced to 2 in a week or two.

But he said a lower alert level “will only be seriously considered if all the abnormal signs simultaneously go down.” He said they would also review the results of ground deformation surveys they are conducting until today. Phivolcs is still prohibiting any human activity within the volcano’s six-kilometer permanent danger zone and the seven-kilometer extended danger zone on the southeast flank due to sudden explosions that may generate hazardous volcanic flows.

“People residing close to these danger areas are also advised to observe precautions associated with post-eruption activity, such as rockfalls, pyroclastic flows, and ash fallout which can also occur anytime due to instabilities of lava deposited on the steep slopes,” Phivolcs said in its latest bulletin. It said that active river channels and those perennially identified as lahar-prone in the southern sector should also be avoided, especially during bad weather conditions or when there is heavy and prolonged rainfall.

“Civil aviation authorities must advise pilots to avoid flying close to the volcano’s summit as ejected ash and volcanic fragments from sudden explosions may pose hazards to aircraft,” it added. Meanwhile, Albay Gov. Joey Salceda said he has approved the release of P3 million for the construction of core shelters for the 313 families still housed at the Anislag resettlement site in Daraga, and at the Fidel V. Ramos-Florencio Muñoz relocation site in Camalig. – With Helen Flores

'Igwa pang natatadang lava pile sa crater kan Mayon; nagtubong lava dome, nawara na' - Phivolcs (http://bomboradyo.com/newsdetails1.asp?ID=126619)
1/7/2010 6:12:46 PM

LEGAZPI CITY - Dawa nagkulpa na an aktibidad kan bulkang Mayon, igwa pang natatadang lava pile sa crater kan bulkan. Segun ki Ed Laguerta, resident volcanologist kan Phivolcs, an natipon na lava pile sa bunganga an bako man marhay peligroso imbes basado sa latest aerial survey result, nagluluwas na sadit na an posibilidad kan liwat na pagsabog kan Mayon.

Napag-araman kan ahensya na nawaran na nin dagos an nagtubong lava dome sa summit kani. Mayo naman nabibilog na magma sa irarom kan bulkan na nagbubusol paluwas nin crater. Magin an pagbulos kan lava an nagkulpa na man dahilan sa mayo ng nanunutaran pang nagbubulos kani tuyong banggi bako arog kan dati na risang-risa sa tolong gullies.

Representatives now authorized to sign, file requirements for Philhealth Transactions (http://piabikol.blogspot.com/)

LEGAZPI CITY — The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) has now authorized representative of a member to file required documents to the corporation and health care providers relative to the member or the member’s dependent in availing health benefits or claims. Orlando Iñigo, Jr., PhilHealth Bicol regional director, explained that an individual authorized by the member will now be allowed to transact with PhilHealth, including filing and signing of documents, and claiming benefit payments upon compliance of the requirements.

Iñigo elaborated that representative must be the member’s legitimate spouse, child (18 years old and above), parent (adoptive/biological/step parent), brother or sister (18 years old and above), and other individuals duly authorized by the member.

He added that should a representative sign the PhilHealth documents, documentary requirements include authorization letter from the member (optional); photocopy of identification card (ID); photocopy of any document proving that the member is an active OFW (if applicable); Enhanced Member Data Record/overseas job contract/current working visa/present employment certificate.

The lack of the necessary documents by the authorized representative could result to the non-processing of your PhilHealth claim. (PhilHealth V/PIA)

Managing a disaster (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=538947&publicationSubCategoryId=64)
COMMONSENSE By Marichu A. Villanueva (The Philippine Star) Updated January 08, 2010 12:00 AM

After almost three weeks of displaying eruptive signs from unleashing smoke, followed by steaming lava flows, and pushing out hot rocks and other volcanic materials, Mt. Mayon have spewed out enough. In fact, Mayon has been indicating it’s calming back to its normal state. Albay folks, especially residents along areas declared as permanent danger zones, are the most relieved and happy people as Mayon has spared their lands from destruction.

Residents within the seven to eight-km permanent danger zone were among the first ones sent back to their homes after the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) lowered last week the Alert Level from 4 to 3. The Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council headed by Albay Governor Joey Salceda started “de-camping” a total of 7,218 families staying in 20 different evacuation centers a few days after the volcano calmed down. The evacuees were only too happy they could return to their respective homes and live their normal day-to-day existence in their farms, once again.

Many of these families actually refused to leave their homes even during the heightened volcanic activities of Mayon. Gov. Salceda had to deputize the police and military to make sure those residents holding out in the danger zones were brought to safety. Their refusal to evacuate in the face of imminent danger was understandable because they were being asked to leave their homes and farms where they have poured their lifetime of hard work and savings.

However, those families who live within the 4 to 6-km permanent danger zone are still being discouraged from going back to their homes. These are about 2,728 families who will continue to stay at the evacuation centers run by the PDCC.

Before Christmas when Mayon first started signs of restiveness, the PDCC had evacuated around a total of 10,000 families or 46,064 residents from 31 villages around Mayon. The provincial government under the leadership of Gov. Salceda deserved credit for a well-organized and well-implemented risk disaster mitigation measures.

Despite constraints and limited resources, we have seen how a well-managed local disaster plan could save lives and achieve a zero-casualty goal. But implementing such effective disaster management program definitely costs a lot of money.

The provincial government has to feed thousands of families during these 21 days while they were in the evacuation center. Based on this latest Mayon experience, the technocrat in Gov. Salceda tells him they must find a more cost-effective disaster risk reduction program. They have tested already that an early warning system could give them enough lead time to evacuate people in the danger zones before Mayon could erupt. This way, premature evacuation will be minimized.

Likewise, the provincial government of Albay is working out a scheme to permanently relocate some 1,000 families that have settled within Mayon’s danger zone despite the volcano’s unpredictable restiveness. For now, Mayon folks move on with their lives until the next eruption.

AECID grants €1.6 Million for Legazpi City’s Environment Project (http://www.neda.gov.ph/n-online/a_index_exp.asp?usid=902569104209277)

The City Government of Legazpi received a grant of €1.6 Million or PhP93 Million from the Agencia Española Cooperacion International Para El Desarollo (AECID) for the City’s Ecological Solid Waste Management Project. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed on March 5, 2009 by Mayor Noel Rosal of the City Government of Legazpi and His Excellency, Ambassador Luis Arias of the Spanish Government at Hotel Venezia. NEDA 5 witnessed the event together with the heads of regional agencies, Legazpi City government officials, and non-government organizations.

The project will be the first ecological solid waste management project in Bicol, pursuant to RA 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act. It will involve the construction of a sanitary landfill facility and materials recovery facilities (MRF) for cluster barangays, IEC and capability building activities. It will benefit some 135,000 residents of Legazpi City.

NEDA Region 5 facilitated the early project preparation stages and preliminary negotiations that commenced in November 2008. The Feasibility Study and Detailed Engineering are on-going.

Thanks Brandon for the updated pictures. We can clearly see now where the city government is focusing the expansion of Legazpi City. The latest volcano eruption further dictates that there is already an urgent need to finalize plans as to where we should focus our development. Maybe the city government should grant incentives to developers who would help in harnessing development in the Legazpi Blvd. route. If I were in the shoes of Rosal and Salceda, I will highly encourage LKY and Sunwest to help out in initiating this development. If you will look closely, the boulevard area actually has so much to offer. I remember posting here some threads back a picture of Kota Kinabalu's shoreline which is very similar to the Puro-Lamba corridor.

Somebody should let Sunwest or LKY know the potential of Monsi's Punta de Lamba. I should say, the fruits are ripe, but somebody who has the means needs to pick them for everyone to partake.

Hi pipz! Just want to interrupt, its bothering me, why is Ligñon Hill called Ligñon? What does it mean, I tried searching the net but I can't find the answers, maybe I'm not that good on research.

Please share some facts & history what is Ligñon. Thanks

:drunk::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:

Ang nabasa ko sa Library kan AQ sa istorya kan Ibalong, Kaidto daa tabi padi, ang Ligñon iyo an pangaran kan Mayon. Saro pa sana ining Hill asin bako pa sya active na Bulkan. Dyan daa naka istar si Oryol. Kan nagpangako si Haring Handiong kay Oryol na mabalik sya sa Ligñon para makaiba si Oryol, dai na sya naka balik. Sabi ni Oryol, pag dai na daa sya nagbalik, Maputok an Ligñon na kasing kusog nin sarong bulkan asin mapa darusdos ki mga lava asin mga nagkakalayong mga bato. kaya puon kaidto, naging bulkan ang Ligñon. Siguro pinangaranan ki Magayon ang Ligñon hanggang sa nagi na ining Mayon. Iyo lang ang narumduman ko. :lol:

Extending the road network from the Legazpi Blvd going up to Taysan will create a very big boost to the development of the southern corridor because Taysan appears to be the current center of development for the low-cost housing sector. There are now a number of low-cost housing projects in the area. The distance between the national highway (Legazpi-Manito road) and the Legazpi Blvd. should not be more than 5 kilometers. This new access road will thence connect to the present access road being constructed in Estanza going to the Maharlika Highway in the hills of Daraga leading to the Legazpi-Daraga International Airport. (like the new name of the airport? :banana:)

well, that's somewhat like it but the location, I'm unsure if it's Embarcadero... I've heard groundbreaking will be in March of this year and it will should be finished and operational the year after...

^ thanks aidz for the info...welcome to the thread!

This is great Joks. So Sunwest is really doing things big for Legazpi. Dakulon palan na mangyayari diyan sa Embarcadero. Yes, SM should take advantage of the potentials of Embarcadero. Maybe SM already realized that there is nowhere else to go for Legazpi's expansion but in that Embarcadero area. The city government has done its part in initiating the development with the construction of Legazpi Blvd. Maybe these big-time business had egged the city government to show its sincerity in developing the area by making the first move of development. Hurray to Rosal.

This is really great news. With those new road networks, there is no way it cannot be noticed by these investors. Albay province's population is big enough to support such development. The Albay Gulf itself has so much too offer. There are plenty of potential projects that can be conceptuallized for the area. Kailangan lang upuan at pag-usapan.

Pasensya na kamo nag-aandar na naman an utak ko ki mga marayrahay na bagay!
