Great pics of Filinvest, man! I love those Insular Life towers:D

Yup, I hear you! :wink2:

Hope to see in coming years , simultaneous developments of beautiful /tall structures such as high-rise apartments / condominiums / hotels / office towers / a museum / multi-purpose arena / business IT schools / urban parks / mass transit system / centralized transport depot to complement the great infrastructures that Filinvest has put up within the FCC area as it truly lives up to its goal to be the gateway to Calabarzon . Its slowly but surely getting there though.

hehehehe... is it a good WRC location ;)?
Possible, very possible. What I hate about it (like every other public road) is the lack of illumination at night. So speeding at night could be murder. :)

speeding anytime is murder ;)

@cropher, not just Filinvest, the whole of the Alabang area.

Not so not so. Speeding dont kill people. People kill people. ;)

@cropher, not just Filinvest, the whole of the Alabang area.

yeah. we also noticed that. :bash:

wow... nice shots!! Alabang/Filinvest really looks like some developed Asian country like Singapore or something. hahaha..! can't wait to see the rest of Manila like that one day.

Not so not so. Speeding dont kill people. People kill people. ;)

MUNTI EXPRESSES CONCERN OVER ARROYO’S SEGREGATION OF NBP LAND

October 18, 2004 – Monday
News released courtesy of Public Information Office
For ref: Please call Tez Valencia at 862-49-26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In lieu of the recent proclamation isuued by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo segregating a partial of New Bilibid Prisons land for the housing purposes of non-Muntinlupa residents, the city through its city council has passed a resolution invoking their rights for the land.

Majority Floor Leader Councilor Raul Corro said the proclamation no. 667 of Arroyo segregating 90 hectares of New Bilibid Prisons Reservation for housing purposes of the employees of the President, Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Central Office, DENR National Capital Region and DENR Staff Bureaus.

Corro said the proclamation was issued without considering the rights and interests of the city government and the residents of NBP as guaranteed by the New Local Government Code of 1991.

Corro impressed their collective sentiments in a resolution invoking the rights and interests of their people on the issuance of proclamation 667.

The resolution passed by the council has stated that “no project or program shall be implemented by the government authorities unless there are consultations made with the city government and the approval of council.”

It further said that the local government units shall have an equitable share in the proceeds derived from the utilization and development of the national wealth within their respective areas including sharing the same with the inhabitants by way of direct benefits.

It also noted the several other resolutions they passed requesting for certain hectares of land of the NBP including the 50 hectares of land promised by Arroyo for the housing purposes of informal settlers in the city.

Corro said that the continued parcelization and segregation of the NBP Reservation without considering its overall comprehensive land use plan and zoning classification will reduce its land value and will result in a hodge podge and irrational kind of development that is detrimental to the interests of both the national government and the lgu.

He said the city has already passed a comprehensive land use plan and zoning ordinance, which provides the land use plan and zoning classification of the NBP Reservation as approved by the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board and the Metro Manila Development Authority.

Right beside that sticker I saw a fish and a dove. ;)

I've attacked Daang Hari at about 130mph and it is fun. The problem is though are the goats that cross the street. Daang Hari has lovely twisty tarmac.

hey tiltshift, don't go too fast on Daang Hari! Consider the many cyclists who may be passing there (I could be one of those cyclists...), not just the goats.

Not so not so. Speeding dont kill people. People kill people. ;)

then so speeding at night is not murder. gotcha :tongue2: :D


oooohh.. goats. that's dangerous, crossing animals..

I went 200mph kanina on Daang hari. Ran over some cats. :(

Why ? wala bang ibang nadaan sa Daang Hari and what is the maximum speed limit there?

Haha, masyadong madugo ang eksena.

I went 200mph kanina on Daang hari. Ran over some cats. :(

200mph on a bike? Ohh....and all those poor cats....they became roadkill! :nono:

land travel at 200mph in the philippines is an unwise thing to do. ;)

guys guys lets stop talking about speed and back to structures. :)

nah...seriously. What do you use to go 130mph in daang hari?

[IMG]

guys guys lets stop talking about speed and back to structures. :)

Looks like everyone is still up on this speed thing. :) And just to belabor the topic further: Better cats than goats. And though it sounds cruel, better animals than to make an emergency stop and put everyone else's life at stake.

if it was goats, yeah, the windshield would probably have been damaged and caused the car to veer off the track. but nevertheless an animal is an animal .

This is what I used to kill the cat at 89.40800 m/s

tiltshift must be driving something fast to travel well over 200km/h. Among the fortunate i reckon? ;)

You have a segway? not many ppl in the philippines has that;)

Nah, that's an old photo from a awhile back. I was looking for a funny transport. ;) Last I heard there are only 2 Segways in the country.

i was able to pass the madrigal business park for the first time....pretty promising....there's an ayala FGU building, a manulife building, a philamlife building, a standard charter building, and one more which i forgot it's name.....most of them are mid rise glass tower......

any pics pls

The new branch of Robinson dept. store and Handyman hardware store is now opened at L-2 & 3 of Festival supermall . Now SM ( Savemore ),Rustans (Shopwise ) and Robinsons group truly co-exist is this mall .
By the way , Robinsons have an existing dept. store /supermarket /hardware too at the nearby Metropolis mall , are they retaining it ?

I think they are retaining it since all malls of the Star Mall chain has an anchor Robinsons dept. store and/or supermarket and hardware.

BTW, do Robinsons own (even partly) the Star chain of Malls?

Nah, that's an old photo from a awhile back. I was looking for a funny transport. ;) Last I heard there are only 2 Segways in the country.

and obviously you stole one of them :D :colgate:

Speed, speed, speed. It's been five days since you begged to change the subject. Is it just me or are you guys still at it? Who started what? And who can't stop whom from what? Or should that be 'what from whom'?

Not begged, requested! :D

Not begged, requested! :D

Begged... requested...Whatever it was, it's not working buddy! Needless to say? :hahaha:

get used to topic changes man;)

and ask a couple of old school forumers, the Alabang Thread is the ultimate randomness thread :D

and ask a couple of old school forumers, the Alabang Thread is the ultimate randomness thread :D

Or so I've noticed Renell. So are we gonna call this the Alabang-slash-ultimate-randomness thread then? :naughty:

I must say I love that 'ultimate randomness' phrase. Sort of has a Matrix ring to it. You really are the man! Whatever will you think of next?

How about revising that 'help for my website' thread title of yours for starters? Nothing wrong with it. Just needs more oomph. :cool: I'm just thinking out loud here. I'm sure I'm not making any sense whatsoever... :crazy:

Then again this is the ultimate randomness thread as you spoke about.

Did I mention that I'm really digging that ultim... Oh, yeah. Already did. :wallbash:

In the past, the "Alabang Thread" title was just a disguise for a real spam thread. Especially by renell, eriq and myself:D Now, it is no longer that way. Spam is discouraged in this forum, especially since i am the mod.:D

hey get back to the subject pls

hey get back to the subject pls

there has been no subject for the couple posts now... looks like you have to make a new one ;)

Since it is my responsibility, i will make a new subject:)

Is it me or is development in Alabang (in terms of highrises) slower than other parts of MM? (deal with the question, its the best i could think of)

Maybe it is but just like the hotdog brand slogan " slowly but surely " it applies also to the development of highrises in Alabang . And let's face it Ortigas and specially Ayalas ( Makati-BGC ) had already made their mark as a trusted and relied land developer of business districts as compared to Filinvest developer .
Besides it does not take overnight, take for example Asiaworld City ( just an example nothing personal ) , it was started almost at the end of 80's but up until now there are still no significant widescale development in terms of numerous skycrapers being built there for now but we still may not know if the Bay area suddenly booms in the near future then Asiaworld will truly benefit since they acquired the reclaimed land for a low price .
If the development shifts towards south of Metro in the near future , then that will be probably the time we will truly see lots of developments in Alabang and besides they aren't doing so bad because development of its districts such as Westgate, Northgate Cyberzone / South Central is on the brisk mode nowadays.

MUNTI UPHOLDS RIVER PROTECTION PROGRAMS

October 27, 2004 – Wednesday
News released courtesy of Public Information Office
For ref: Please call Tez Valencia at 862-49-26


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another pro-environment program was held in the city of Muntinlupa when the Magdaong Mini-River Council, Inc. (MCCI) was launched at the Muntinlupa Science High School in cooperation with the locality’s Lake Management Office.

Themed “Responsible Citizens, Custodian of the Environment,” the venture was aimed at reinforcing the measures to save and preserve the ecology aside from the city’s seven tributaries.

City officials said the development in the environment program is that each lake has its own mini-river council that takes good care of its cleanliness and protection.

The council is not only concerned with defense of the lake against human abuse and industrial pollution but also for the planting of trees and other plants along the rivers’ bayside and shoreline.

The city’s rivers include Tunasan-Cuyab River; Balimbing River in Putatan; Alabang-Bayanan River; Alabang-Cupang River; Palico in Buli; Sucat-Buli River and the Magdaong at the New Bilibid Prisons.

The officials said the endeavor was also highly made successful because of the cooperation exhibited by the private sector, non-government organizations, religious groups and the youths.

They thanked the NGOs for participating actively in the government’s projects’ to take care of the tributaries, Laguna de Bay and the entire environment as well.

Relatively, the city is currently engaged in efforts to treat the wastewater effectively together with partners abroad who have efficiently treated theirs. Their methods, which are considered low-cost and practical, are presently being absorbed and studied by the city.

As promised

any descriptions of the pics

are those pictures in ayala alabang village?

those are pics in ayala alabang. got no description other than these are most decorated houses in the village. i guess people got burned out from all the strangers coming in and making halloween not fun for everyone anymore. A lot of the people I personally know stopped giving out treats cause of the thousands of uninvited outsiders mobbing people's houses and hurting small kids.

i volunteered for this year's halloween for uninvited outsiders and it was chaos. all of them were pushing, grabbing, poking and demanding (imagine that demanding!) treats. barely a dozen out of the thousands that came said "Trick or treat" or even bothered wearing a costume.

It appears halloween will be fun again no thanks to abs-cbn, gma7 and cnn.

On the nearby gated subdivision here in Pasig, they shuttered the gates when the "Trick or Treat" time came.

A very long line of uninvited outsiders formed outside of the gate expecting to be allowed inside the subdivision but the guards no longer let them in. They were given some token giveaways but they were no longer allowed to join the "Trick or Treat" inside the subdivision.

man... trick and treat is some lame shit you know :tongue2: you could always treat them with some water gun or "balde" action if some of you guys know what i mean :D

you'd cause a riot. :)

hahahaha!!!! :hahaha:

you'd cause a riot. :)

better than giving candy mate;)

better than giving candy mate;)

Better yet, give them those sour candy thingies. What are they called again? Might sound cruel being that we're talking about kids here, but kids today are just full of an air of entitlement. (I WANT MY CANDY!!!... Oh here you go, since you asked for it...) :devil:

well different kids have different tastes.. ;)

I heard about this. I didn't know that people came in and harrassed the homeowners. Does that mean the village contest is now cancelled?

Here it's a particularly big thing. I love all holidays where you can dress up as something else. And thousands of people crowd downtown (it's more of an adult holiday after dark here... in the daytime, it's for kiddies) and they close the streets and you pretty much haved to push your way down the street because it's so crowded with people in costumes.

I wish we could wear costumes in all holidays. I will make a push for costumes during Christmas.

I bought three huge bags of candies for Halloween and no one showed up to ring the doorbell or even knocked! Now I have to find some way to consume all the candy, I've been muching on a bag of Hershey Kisses yesterday and I felt sick after. :puke:

in the past the "walk ins" (aka hakots) normally barge past the gates and the household are forced to retreat into the house proper. one friend mentioned that she released her dalmation and at the sight they scattered.

this is just me but if you dont wear a costume or dont say "trick or treat" then you dont deserve to get anything.

time was during the mid-90s that halloween was celebrated at night and the streets were filled with kids in wonderful costumes. until recently the streets were flooded by squatters who think that it's just a dole out.

/\ That just takes away the fun out of the holiday, and it's meant for the kids anyway, not adults asking for a hand-out. :nono:

hmm.. pfffttt.. Halloween.... our dead folks must be getting pissed at those relatives not visiting them on the 31st and the 1st...

hmm.. pfffttt.. Halloween.... our dead folks must be getting pissed at those relatives not visiting them on the 31st and the 1st...
haha. I did not visited my dead love ones in the cemetery...I don't celebrate halloween. :) irony, my room is just a wall away from the cemetery (as in pader lan ang pagitan sa mga nitso). :lol:

@kiretoce, just give me those chocolates. The more the better. you can send thru LBC. haha. :lol: :jk:

@kiretoce, just give me those chocolates. The more the better. you can send thru LBC. haha. :lol: :jk:

If I could....I would! Baka matunaw lang sila pagdating sa'yo. :D

Chocoholic ka ba? :)

Hindi cya matutunaw. Madami ng nagpadala sa akin thru LBC. hehehe. Mostly were Hershey's and M&Ms. and yes, I'm a chocolate addict! I eat chocolate in the morning, lunch, and before I go to bed..makes me feel good. burrrp!!!! Anyways, off-topic.

Mmm. As I read the previous post, I eat M&Ms leftover from Halloween. Nyam nyam nyam!

Mmm. As I read the previous post, I eat M&Ms leftover from Halloween. Nyam nyam nyam!

did you share em? :D ;) that is with strangers?

hmm.. pfffttt.. Halloween.... our dead folks must be getting pissed at those relatives not visiting them on the 31st and the 1st...I dont hear them complaining :runaway:

Kidding aside you could visit your dead during non-peak seasons. Why go to the cemetary on a specific date when the whole city try to squeeze into a smallish cemetary?

because it's an obligation :tongue2: it's "araw ng mga patay", All Souls Day (well that's nov. 2 but close enough)

I dont hear them complaining

that's cause you don't go no sixth sense mate :D

I don't observe/celebrate All Saints/Souls Day. I don't go to the cemetery and keep vigil over tombstones and graves, to me they're all dead, and won't be coming back to life anytime soon. I'd rather think of the joyous times I've had with my dearly departed loved ones somewhere else than in the crowded cemetery. But then again that's just me. :)

I actually have no obligatory attachment to araw ng patay. But I do find this celebration very interesting. I was at Manila South Cemetery a few years ago (when I was visiting the RP) during araw ng patay and I enjoyed the relationship people had with the dead there. It wasn't so much quiet and respectful, but it was party time. I loved how one of the mausoleums had colorful blinking lights and loud karaoke going on. And I loved how there were food stalls inside the cemetery. And I loved how the Dominos pizza guy was walking around looking to make a delivery and that McDonalds and KFC operated booths. I thought of it as one giant street fair.

I typically like going to cemeteries to study because it's the only place really quiet enough to study. And did you know that in the past, people used to go to cemeteries (especially in 1800s England and USA) to picnic?

Anyway, back to the topic of Muntinlupa... So is it true that the mall (I forget what it's called. Metropolis?) near the Alabang Zapote viaduct is haunted? Was it really built on a cemetery? And is this why they call it mumu mall?

Renell, your posts are starting to sound Australian. :D

thank you mike :D

about that mumu mall. this is like the 20th time since i joined here telling people that place in haunted. my sister first told me that when we were still in bene. personally i haven't been there. but before the mall was constructed, looking right in SLEX going to Manila on the Alabang viaduct you can see a huge field, so it was probably a cemetery, because you don't leave large fields for a couple of years unused, especially in Metro Manila. Anyone who's heard of that mall's name will probably have heard about the mumu stories.

I don't observe/celebrate All Saints/Souls Day. I don't go to the cemetery and keep vigil over tombstones and graves, to me they're all dead, and won't be coming back to life anytime soon. I'd rather think of the joyous times I've had with my dearly departed loved ones somewhere else than in the crowded cemetery. But then again that's just me. :)

I second that buddy! And what about those beautiful memorial lots and parks? Couldn't they be put to better use for the LIVING?

with origins from foreign pagan beliefs. ;)

because it's an obligation :tongue2: it's "araw ng mga patay", All Souls Day (well that's nov. 2 but close enough)



that's cause you don't go no sixth sense mate :D

hey, go back to topic you guys.

with origins from foreign pagan beliefs. ;)

catholic beliefs, All Saints Day is, and also is All Souls :tongue2: celebrated all throughout Latin America

but if you want pagan beliefs, there's always Halloween ;)

can we get back to the original topic pls....

tillshift can you post some pics of madrigal business park buildings

It is widely believed today that Pope Boniface IV was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints' Day) and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls' Day, a day to honor the dead. It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints', All Saints', and All Souls', were called Hallowmas.

Going to cemetaries isnt the safest of things to do anymore. People have been known to be shot at cemetaries and other crimes happen there as well. Cremate the dead, put em in a jar and put it by bookshelf. You have easy access to your loved ones in a compact and convenient way any time of the day.

ronnaveth what building would you want to see? i'll try to indulge your request when I have the chance.

Well, pictures of paranormal activity at the mumu mall would be nice...

BUSINESSMEN, POLICE UNITE TO CURB CRIME IN MUNTI; ANOTHER PRECINCT UNDERWAY IN ALABANG

November 2, 2004 – Tuesday

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Several chief executive of leading companies at the Alabang area have recently formed into a group and united with city police of Muntinlupa to rid themselves of organized crimes posed by syndicate elements especially in this particular time of year.

The business group composed of bank managers, and owners of commercial establishments at the Alabang Town Center and surrounding areas who called themselves the Muntinlupa-Alabang Shield Security Alliance (MASSA) are now having their security men train with the police regarding the proper procedures to do when a bank robbery or some terrorism activities attack.

Prior to the said alliance, Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi has directed police chief Col. Erasto Sanchez to increase police visibility in the so-called central business district in the city, which is Alabang. Because of the demands for heightened security due to onset of rush season, the police and the city government have decided to put up additional police precinct right where most business ventures lurk in the city, Ayala-Alabang.

With the new precinct, which is expected to operate sometime early December, the police is hoped to respond to crimes faster and thereby prevent more felonies from happening in the locality.

With regards to the Alabang area itself all the way to Cupang including the east and west service roads, where several manufacturing firms also situate, the city’s precinct 2 is seen to more manageably handle now particularly during wee hours when offenders usually take advantage of overtiming and night shift employees.

In a Peace and Order Council meet chaired by Mayor Fresnedi, he said is he very impressed with the private sector who are finally coming out and helping the government prevent robberies and other organized crimes from occurring in their areas.

He likewise instructed the Traffic Environment and Discipline Office, police and all authorities concerned to better their measures to ease up traffic jams in the major thoroughfares in the city, which is anticipated to get heavier as December nears.

Enforcements are also maintained against ambulant vendors and beggars who will be crowding the streets this season, thus the city highly coordinates within its departments and the Metro Manila Development Authority for their relocation to proper areas.

ronnaveth what building would you want to see? i'll try to indulge your request when I have the chance.
basta yung mga midrise sa madrigal business park...yung mga ayala-fgu, manulife, standard charter, etc :)

what's the tallest thing in Madrigal Business Park?

Seems like Muntinlupa's police force is one of the better ones in the metro.

what's the tallest thing in Madrigal Business Park?

The tallest building there so far is Richville Corporate Tower , around 22-25 storeys high.

In Filinvest Alabang , the tallest is Insular Life tower 1 , which is 33 storeys high , it is also the tallest building in Muntinlupa City.

The Proposed Alabang Fishport Complex

The proposed project will be located in Alabang, to house a selling area for the harvested fish from the different aqua-structures located in the Laguna Lake. The area will also be the landing site of non-wet products like fruits and vegetables coming from the Southern Luzon provinces. The area will also include warehouses and cold storage facilities, picnic areas, restaurants, tourism-oriented shops and a ferry terminal of boats plying Laguna Lake. Facilities for fishing and boating can also attract tourist.

wow...! not bad...! is the muntinlupa municipal govt the main proponent of this...? impressive...!!

Wow , sana matuloy ito talaga , napakagandang proyekto nito , is it located at the end of Montillano street ? from the map the arrow points to that location. May viewing deck pa for the visitors makakatulong din ito for the beautification and cleanliness sa area na iyon ng lake and it will boost tourism at yung ,mga ferry boats puede rin sigurong maging mode of transportation from the other end of the lake in the Rizal and Laguna provinces. Napakaraming opportunities ang puedeng idulot ng project na ito.

wow. very airport-ish:D about damn time Metro Manila made good use of Laguna Lake

Looks very good to me. But why now when laguna lake's biological and physical condition is not that good anymore...

Wow!! Amazing fishport...very modern, a first for the philippines:D

Looks very good to me. But why now when laguna lake's biological and physical condition is not that good anymore...

Isnt Laguna Lake still one of the better lakes in the world? I remember it being in the list of top 5...

Fishing agriculture is big business in Laguna de bay, so this is definitely a plus.

It got included among the "living lakes " around the world aim to save and rehabillitate this lake from further degradation . This is the biggest freshwater lake in the country at 90,000 hectares. LLDA , allows at least 10% of this area for fish caging but I just recently watched from an investigative journalism TV program that the fish caging business has exceeded the limits and presently occupies 11,000 hectares .

ermm.. i haven't heard anything about Laguna Lake being a top 5 lake.... but i have bad memory about somethings so :D

but it's good the lakeside is being developed to be a prime location

it shows on d munti's map there is stil a big idle land on the southwest side, but the rest of the city appears to be fully developed w/ subdivisions, & commercial centers w/ its well planned street layouts....

could that be the New Bilibid land?

Yes , Renell , the vast undeveloped land in the southwest is the NBP reservation with an land area of 500 ++ has. or at least twice the size of Makati CBD. A large portion of it is bounded by the ritzy Ayala-Alabang and Susana Heights subdivisions.
The new road Daang Hari passes within its vicinity and if NBP will be developed when the National Penitentiary will be moved somewhere in in a much isolated area in the province , a possible access road will be connected to Daang Hari road.
I recently passed by this Daang Hari road , it is quite long and winding with many up and down segments and its now the main artery to the vast lands that it lays on .

im being mystified bout the Everest access road on the left side of Susana Heights exit, does that road only lead to a cemetery or there myt be other subdivisions that can be reached thru there? & whats the dead end of it?

ermm.. i haven't heard anything about Laguna Lake being a top 5 lake.... but i have bad memory about somethings so :D

but it's good the lakeside is being developed to be a prime location

my bad...its the living lakes cropher said.

btw i just noticed the price... 100 million 1st phase.. that's a big investment

Westgate Complex is slowly sprucing up as more and more establishments ( bars, fine dine restos, cafes , car care centers and showrooms , and under construction is a one stop depot home center ) rising up not on a strip but on open blocks within a beautifully landscape area.

any new pics cropher

COMELEC RECOUNT OF VOTES FOR MUNTI MAYOR STARTS TODAY

November 16, 2004 – Tuesday
News released courtesy of Public Information Office
For ref: Please call Tez Valencia at 862-49-26


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The recount of votes from the 1,124 protested ballot boxes in Muntinlupa City for the mayoral post starts today (November 16) at 3 p.m. at the Comelec Main Office to be witnessed by representatives of incumbent Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi and complaining contender Elizabeth Aguilar-Masangkay.

The recount was based on the election protest filed by Masangkay regarding the alleged irregularities in the counting of votes in the city last May. The revision of protested precincts starts today which will be composed of 10 revision committees led by a lawyer.

Each committee is composed of a chairman, recorder, clerk and a ballot box custodian. The revision will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and each committee is directed to finish a minimum of six ballot boxes a day.

The chairman of each committee is ordered to submit a weekly report of the number and identify of the precincts revised, observation on the condition of the ballot boxes being opened for revision and the ballots to be revised, physical counts of ballots in each of the precincts revised, number of contested and uncontested and claimed ballots in each of the precincts revised and manifestations filed by both parties related to the revision proceedings.

This is the third time Masangkay’s party filed a poll protest against Fresnedi. The first two were dismissed by the Comelec for lack of merit and shotgun style.

Fresnedi’s counsel Jovito Salvador said the city has filed three counterprotests at the Comelec. They also called on their contenders to accept defeat since the people has already spoken last May and overwhelmingly voted for Fresnedi who won by an edge of 20,000 votes ahead of Masangkay.

Nice shots. I'm still grappling with digicams so can you clue me on the right settings for nighshots? Mine always turn up with very large apertures so they're not as sharp as yours. Might the fact that it's only 2 MP's have anything tho do with it?

8th floor of Asian? I hope no one is ill in your family.

I was visiting a friend after his back surgery. Thought it was also a good chance to try night photography.

Set your aperture to the biggest numerical value it can do. Set your shutter speed to 1-10mins and bring a tripod. I dont know of anyone who can stand completly still for for that long. It also helps if you use your camera's self timer shutter to minimize vibration when the shot it taken. :)

I'm getting a couple of filters to remove the garbage light you see above.

Megapixels dont matter actually. The size of the photo I took is about .8MP. :)

i usually put mine to 1-2 seconds. Too much light if set above 2 for my cam...

Anyways, anyone checked SSP diagrams lately? they draw Insular Life at 180m... :?

You could also leave your camera on automatic mode and turn off the flash, the digicam will automatically adjust the aperture and shutter speed for night time shots.

Ummm... made a mistake. i ment seconds & not minutes. :) I also wouldnt suggest using automatic mode. you dont learn anything & you dont have much control. sure it's convenient and simplifies things but you dont have as much control.

^ yeah, automatic mode with the flash off is only if you are rushing to take a picture at night. I do that when i need to take a quick picture. Otherwise, if i have lots of time, i manually change the camera settings.

There's this territorial boundary dispute of two cities Makati and Taguig over a certain part of BGC which the two cities are both claiming as theirs, hope it will be settled amicably sooner. I'm so glad that FCC does not have that kind of problem because the estate lies inside Muntinlupa City and not in its borders.

well apparently former president Ramos proclaimed that the property belongs to taguig but now it seems like makati is trying to claim it as their own and is getting lawyers and stuff for all nessesary means to make it their own. I think Makati should just be quiet and give it to Taguig, i mean Makati has the CBD and Rockwell and they already have enough revenues from taxes as they are somewere in #2 or #3 behind Quezon City which is #1 in revenues, but look at taguig its just a small place and the revenues they recieve from BGC can help develop and improve Taguig. Makati seems so greedy, just give it to taguig! its already proclaimed theirs

Well , if that is the case that the land is proclaimed as Taguig's then Makati should really let it go .

I agree. Makati should give it to Taguig. Dapat magtulung-tulungan ang lahat ng mga lungsod at munisipyo sa ka-Maynilaan.

Judge: Fort Bonifacio in Taguig, not Makati


THE Pasig Regional Trial Court upheld yesterday the jurisdiction of Taguig over Fort Bonifacio.

Judge Briccio Ygana of Pasig RTC Branch 153 denied the motion of Makati City seeking the nullification of a previous order that enjoined them from exercising jurisdiction over Fort Bonifacio.

Ygana stressed that in denying the motion of Makati, Taguig is authorized to exercise jurisdiction over the area in question and there was nothing unlawful and improper in the plaintiff’s putting a police station in any part of the inner Fort.

He added that this is the logical result of the fact that the inner Fort is in Fort Bonifacio and said area is in Taguig.

According to Ygana, the Bases Conversion Development Authority, Fort Boni*facio Development Corp. and the entities inside the Global City pay their taxes to Taguig and that the Executive Branch from former President Fidel Ramos to President Gloria Arroyo have issued pronouncements confirming that Fort Bonifacio is in Taguig.

Dante Tinga, a former congressman of Taguig-Pateros, said the judge’s ruling means that the Global City Project and the ba*rangay, which Makati calls “Southside” are within Ta*guig’s jurisdiction.

I agree. Makati should give it to Taguig. Dapat magtulung-tulungan ang lahat ng mga lungsod at munisipyo sa ka-Maynilaan.

Definitely....Makati should give it to Taguig. It's just another bad typical Filipino attitude.

Well, anyway... it seems the court favored Taguig..good job.

South Central's - South Station cluster building in Alabang Junction was partially open in time for the Christmas holidays with only a few stores.
It's like a mini-Festival mall which caters to bargain hunters . Its the first of several cluster buildings and a main mall that will rise within a 6.2 hectare location which will also have a transportation terminal .
The first building has three levels but only level1 is operating right now but by next year when more stores will open the 2nd and 3rd level will be operating too, its also air-conditioned but small .

wow, good to hear a lot of things are developing in the Muntinlupa/Alabang area...

SunKing, I really appreciate you posting those pictures of DLS-Z. I was a junior there in 1999 when I left for the US, and the Performing Arts Building (what's it called now? I can't recall, that was back on page 5 or something...) was just being completed (I don't think they had the main theater done). Did they ever make a memorial or something dedicated to the Decena girl who died there? I remember we had a big memorial service for her right on that field where the building stand snow, they made a pretty big deal out of it.

So, can anyone fill me in on what companies are now the power players in the area? What about brand names? I see SM is still SM, but what about the Evers and Manuelas?

Major Developers of Large Villages / Business-Shopping Complexes in Muntinlupa City.

Ayala Alabang Village , Alabang Town Center , Madrigal Business Park = Ayala Land
Filinvest Corporate City, Festival Mall / South Central / Westgate = Filinvest Corp.
Metropolis Mall = Manuela Corp .
Susana Heights = Madrigal family

Filinvest Corporate City, Festival Mall / South Central / Westgate = Filinvest Corp.
Susana Heights = Madrigal family

Susana Heights...that's the exit after Alabang on the SLEx, right?

I've heard of Filinvest Corp. City, and the Festival Mall (which at the time was brand-spanking new) but I don't recognize South Central and Westgate.

Humorous aside: is nobody worried that South Central might attract gangs? "Hey guys, now we can emulate what we've listened to in hip hop! We have a South Central now! Now we're really 'gangsta'!" ::rolleyes::

Recently completed projects:
1. South Central's South Station building = 3 -level bargain complex beside
the Alabang Wet Market.
2. Mazda / Nissan / Chevrolet auto showrooms= within the Westgate complex
3. Gonuts Donuts branch = inside the Westgate complex
4. Bellevue Hotel podium expansion = inside the Northgate Cyberzone complex
5. Convergis Call Center building = inside the Northgate Cyberzone complex
6. The Mondrian Residences = midrise residential tower undergoing
interior/exterior finishings beside Parque Espana.
7. Vivant Flats = recently topped-off , a 17-storey residential tower.
8. An unknown huge 5-storey building inside the Northgate Cyberzone ,
fronting Bellevue Hotel.

Under construction:
1. Alabang Home Depot = inside the Westgate complex
2. West Parc tower 1 = midrise residential tower near the Caltex station .
3. Civic Place 2301 = midrise mixed-use tower along Civic Drive beside the
Asian Hospital

the widening of slex in filinvest area is ongoing, but on a very slow pace! i checked the area around 7am kanina lang & nobody is workin at the centerisland while i only saw just 2-3 men on the northbound side just standing & chattin & doin really nothin, & the plastic barriers they placed on the edges cause huge bottlenecks as early as 6:15, whats takin them so long?? sobrang bagal talaga, & the rehab of the viaduct itself hasnt started as of yet.....:(

How are they planning to keep the slex moving when they close the viaduct, it's going to be hell for the poor people who have to travel along this corridor!

I always thought when an expressway is being rehabilitated usually it's one side, then the other. so it will probably turn into a one lane highway in the viaduct while one side is being worked on.......

They're expanding SLEX in the filinvest area? I thought it was already a 6-lane highway at that part?

Alabang Viaduct rehab underway

Posted 10:56pm (Mla time) Jan 27, 2005
By Abigail Ho
Inquirer News Service


Editor's Note: Published on page A19 of the January 28, 2005 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer


THE Philippine National Construction Corp. has begun preliminary work on the P770-million Alabang Viaduct rehabilitation project.

PNCC chair and chief executive Pastor Ramos Jr. said the firm has already set up an operations center on the site. Right of way acquisitions have likewise started, although the construction contract is yet to be awarded to a bidder.

The project, which involves the upgrade of the kilometer-long Alabang Viaduct, is expected to be completed within a year.

Ten construction firms have joined the bidding process.

Ramos said the PNCC bids and awards committee was still evaluating the submitted bids. A decision should be finalized in the next few weeks.

Though the bids are still being evaluated, Ramos said they have begun preparations on how to prevent massive traffic jams once construction starts.

"The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, through Chair Bayani Fernando, had said it would deploy people to ease the traffic situation in the area once construction starts," he said.

Ramos added that the viaduct would remain partially open, and the northbound lane passable. The road below the viaduct would also be open to Class 3 vehicles like big trucks.

Cars, vans and small trucks, (Class 2 and Class 3), on the other hand, can use the Filinvest Spectrum Highway.

The Alabang Viaduct rehabilitation project is only one component of the three-phase upgrade of the South Luzon Expressway.

The two other components are the 32-km Alabang-Calamba expansion and rehabilitation project and the 8.2-km Calamba-Sto. Tomas extension plan.

Like the Alabang Viaduct project, the contract for the P857-million Calamba-Sto. Tomas venture has yet to be awarded to a bidder.

"But we're nearing that stage," said Noel Eli Kintanar, chair of the Department of Trade and Industry SLEX Task Force.

"Right of way acquisitions are already ongoing, in cooperation with the Toll Regulatory Board, the Department of Public Works and Highways, the PNCC and the National Development Corp.," he said.

Kintanar added that the DTI is pushing for the three-stage Slex upgrade as this would facilitate the faster delivery of goods to the airports and seaports.

The upgrade would complement commercial activities at the Calabarzon (Cavite-Laguna-Batangas-Rizal-Quezon) area, he said.

Also the Veridian towers , a mid-rise housing project of Pag-Ibig Fund is now u/c in East svc rd, Sucat.

A lot of 5-10 storey buildings are now rising in Sucat.

What's teh Filinvest Spectrum Highway? Now that's something I've never heard of before.....I guess was right with how the traffic with continue on, it will remain partially open while one half of the viaduct is rehab-ed.

Filinvest's Spectrum avenue is where a vehicle will lead exiting from the Alabang exit near the approach of the southbound Alabang viaduct. After that exit , turning right to Montillano street ( fronting the Alabang Wet market ) and then turning right again will lead to the Spectrum avenue trekking towards Ayala Alabang village and Las Pinas . It was the formerly the approach of Alabang-Zapote road but Filinvest realligned the roads there. The Alabang Zapote road approach now starts at SSH-West service road which was formerly named Alabang Access Road .

MUNTI ENACTS TRAFFIC CODE; BRACES FOR VIADUCT REHAB

January 10, 2005 – Monday

News released courtesy of Public Information Office




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Muntinlupa City Council recently passed the final draft of Ordinance 04-22, known as the Muntinlupa Traffic Code, in anticipation of gridlock problems once the rehabilitation of the Alabang Viaduct goes into full swing.



The Traffic Code sets down ground rules for the use and regulation of all street and roadways within the jurisdiction of Muntinlupa, as well as provisions for the operation of vehicles passing through the said thoroughfares.



The said ordinance likewise governs the use of sidewalks, prohibiting any form of commercial activities that may hamper the flow of traffic. Other important provisions include drivers’ road conduct, pedestrian restrictions, and the prohibition of drag racing on all City street.



According to Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi, the Traffic Code is in cooperation with the Metro Manila Development Authority’s aim to simplify traffic management procedures within the National Capital Region.



Fresnedi also added that the Traffic Code will be very helpful in providing uniform guidelines in managing traffic in the City, especially at the Alabang Interchange where vehicle and pedestrian volume is very high. Effective management at the Interchange will be necessary once full-scale repairs on the 30 year-old Alabang Viaduct start because the said bridge will be closed and vehicles will be forced to look for alternate routes

GMA ORDERS REVIEW OF NBP PROCLAMATION; RECONSIDERS FRESNEDI’S CITY LAND USE PLAN

January 31, 2005 – Monday
News released courtesy of Public Information Office
For ref: Please call Tez Valencia at 862-49-26


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chartered by a Presidential chopper which landed on Sunken Garden at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP), President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo went back again to revisit the poor folks living along the dangerous railroad tracks in barangay Putatan, Muntinlupa, as well as clarify essential matters concerning a presidential proclamation which drew various sentiments from Muntinlupa officials.

The President was accompanied by Vice President Noli De Castro who will also play a significant role in the administration of the proposed projects for the NBP.

In a close door meeting, the President clarified with the Muntinlupa officials led by Fresnedi and his councilor Raul Corro, the controversial President Proclamation 667 which she immediately ordered to be revised by De Castro.

Proclamation 667 states that 90 hectares of land at the NBP be allocated for the housing needs of the officers and employees if the President, Department of Environment and Natural Resources and attached agencies.

In addition, Arroyo asked Fresnedi to submit a legal basis for the proposed establishment of a government center and other local government projects since the city deems it has a equitable share at the NBP.

Corro said Arroyo’s visit was a victory for the people of Muntinlupa because Arroyo gave in to the concerns of the people when they issued a resolution questioning proclamation 667.

He said Arroyo is truly a catalyst of democracy since she considered the overall comprehensive land use plan zoning classification of the NBP, which the city prepared.

On her second visit, the President saw the ailing plight of the constituents housed in shanties situated along the Philippine National Railways, which drove her to intensify the implementation of Presidential Proclamation 335 allocating 50 hectares of land at the NBP to the informal settlers residing on the danger zones.

Fresnedi said the President plans to equally divide into three the remaining 450 hectares of NBP land, which are set for development. The first 150 hectares is for the additional socialized housing requirements, the next 150 will be allocated for the government housing of those working for the national and local government under the GSIS and Pag-ibig housing programs and the last 150 for the commercial area.

Plans to transfer the New Bilibid Prisons to Tanay Rizal is underway but the maximum prisons will still be located at the NBP due to the inmates of the National Capital Region.

De Castro is expected to play a major role in the enforcement of the said undertakings in cooperation with involved lead agencies. Another proclamation will be made on the proposed segregation of the NBP into three parts.

Accompanying the President are Vice President Noli De Castro, Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi, and Rep. Ruffy Biazon. (photo courtesy of P.I.O.)

I hope that NBP will be ideally divided for the ff. zones :

Government center
Educational centers
Socialized housing
Sports / Recreation
Park/ Eco-Tourism
Commercial - could be develop near its access to the Daang Hari road .

a bit of still rustic NBP property looks currently , this is not showing an aerial view but can somehow see its vastness.

But the jail is still there right? where Robin Padilla used to hang out?:D

I think sporting and educational facilities should be put there, because compared to the others we are in dire need of those.

Yah the peniteniary is still there in NBP , those people in bikes in that pic are actually prisoners who bolt out of the jail ..hehe.

A few years ago, Ayala wanted to acquire NBP land to expand their posh AAV housing complex. He proposed to build a better equipped and state-of-the-art maximum prison further south in exchange for NBP land. This deal did not push through...to bad coz it sounded like very good deal.

i guess one reason this deal didn't push through because there's no money involved and politicians won't be able to chalk up money from the proposed land swap

Yeah...its dirty corrupt politics like that, that is slowing our progress.

For me , it is the national government's responsibility to produce a state of the art maximum prison somewhere else.
Ayala's , no doubt really help to escalate the value of real estate and brought prestige in Muntinlupa City and even prompt the local government to create a whole barangay named Ayala-Alabang because of their mammoth housing property . Its because if the Ayalas make NBP as an extension of AAV , ordinary people from all walks of life lose access to the most beautifully situated land property in the city. It has lots of potentials for greater use that will benefit more people in terms of employment /socialized housing/recreations/institutions rather than being a posh enclave of the few rich people.

Its because if the Ayalas make NBP as an extension of AAV , ordinary people from all walks of life lose access to the most beautifully situated land property in the city. It has lots of potentials for greater use that will benefit more people in terms of employment /socialized housing/recreations/institutions rather than being a posh enclave of the few rich people.
the problem is that the gov't has no money because our public officials are corrupt....hello????

^ everyone knows that. i dont need to be told that unfortunately. but i agree with cropher it is the governments responsibility. after all the people who will serve terms in it have broken the government's established laws

the problem is that the gov't has no money because our public officials are corrupt....hello????


Probably you can say that about our government but they may also have a diffrerent perspective about this called- off deal . It is not fair that just because a private land developer agreed to build a state of the art prison facility to be located their idle property somewhere else in the south that will be swapped with the "high value " property that is NBP which is still around 400-500 hectares and making this property a mere extension of their exclusive enclave is a waste.

What if the developer shortchange the government by building a medium or high rise prison facility in their idle property to save on their land ?

We all know that a philantropist is non-existent nowadays so there will be no individual or corporation who will offer his land for free to the government so the better deal there probably if the developer who will build the high-tech prison will be alloted in commercial zone a portion of NBP and they help developed it but not the entirety of NBP land .


IMO , I really do not agree making that valuable property a mere housing or worst a golf or polo course . I am for equal distribution of the land there for maximize utilization

In addition , it is now very well manifested in the old Alabang Stock farm by the government which is now Filinvest Corporate City . Ayala was one of the bidders there but they lost to Filinvest because their plan about the former stock farm is again , extension of AAV. These are some of the proofs that you still can trust and have
confidence in our government because not only our government has corruptions but in the private industries and corporate world there are corruptions too.

but filinvest is again in the private sector that's why the stock farm land didn't become spoiled

Its a joint development by a government arm PEA ( Public Estates Authority ) and Filinvest .

Anybody who entered Susana Heights subdivision along South Expressway . I always wonder if there are houses there at all , all i know is that there is Everest Hills memorial park there , but it is a big subdivision too and I seldom see vehicles entering or exiting , its mysterious what's inside it ..like a different zone..

i'm also curious bout subdivisons....i was suggesting long before that forumers post subdivision pics....hindi lang naman skyscrapers ang maganda

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/cropherre/ayala-big.jpg

a lone pic I got of AAV .

er what kind of subdivisions? There's a hell lot of them in the Metro alone. and some of yous probably already live in one...

thats also what iv been mentioning here before, i think the subdivision there was nver done, coz the whole area is full of shrubs, kinda mini forest nga eh...its pretty scary too specially at nght. & cars r rarely heading that area

So that's it , the subdivision is considered empty . Its a pity that it is one of the ideally situated property in Muntinlupa city because of its highest location and yet it is not that successful . BTW , who is the owner / developer of Susana Hgts.?

Perhaps , there are lot owners there , but they just did not built a house there. Because some buy lots while it is still cheaper for investment purposes.

Wow...AAV is beautiful. how big is it?

Wow...AAV is beautiful. how big is it?
according to ayala website---5000+ households....well, that has to be big

a lone pic I got of AAV .
imagine this beatiful landscape extended all the way to what is now the bilibid prison

AAV alone is 650 hectares , already one of the biggest subdivisions in Metro Manila . What if it happens that they were able to snag FCC then , which is 240 hectares and sooner NBP which is 500 hectares ...wow all in all they will have 1390 hectares.

IMO , it seems very noticeable that Muntinlupa is not Ayala's "baby" among the locations of their flagship developments . It is still Makati with the newest one, Sta. Rosa that's because they have a larger stake in those areas as you can see they have really participated and involved in the development of infrastructures of those areas , while in Muntinlupa they are not that aggressive and contributed very minimal infrastructure- wise . They even covered a creek in Alabang to turn it into a parking lot of ATC .
NBP as a whole or even a portion of it , if developed similar to FCC will somehow shifts development to the nearby Bacoor corridor of Cavite (via the proximity of Daang Hari road ) and away from the Ayala's newest "baby " Sta. Rosa so by making the whole of NBP an extension of AAV , they will avert that threat.
This is just my analysis though that i am sharing because this is a forum.

imagine this beatiful landscape extended all the way to what is now the bilibid prison

i would rather have NBP the way it is now than be converted to something that only a few rich individuals can utilize.

650 hectares is quite huge...ok, im alright with them not extending it all the way to NBP. Anyway there are other equally prestigous estates proposed, u/c or existing south and north of MM.

i would rather have NBP the way it is now than be converted to something that only a few rich individuals can utilize.

indeed. if the NBP land would be anything, it should be land richies alone will be able to use.

ano nga ba ibig sabihin ng IMO?

i would rather have NBP the way it is now than be converted to something that only a few rich individuals can utilize.
the current plan for NBP now is:
1/3 for tabing riles squatters
1/3 for muntinlupa urban poor
1/3 will be auction for a commercial development

imagine 2/3 will be converted into a squatter colony and 1/3 into a business/commercial area like FCC which i bet would fail...tingnan nyo nga yung FCC ang tagal nang walang new locators...

it would be much more beautiful if it just became an AAV extension

I have mixed feelings with the Ayalas making another village near AAV. In theory it would make available lots within the area relatively cheaper than those in AAV w/ the same developers. I just hope they dont force open AAV like what they did with BF. SO much chaos!

Filinvest has been very successful if you haven't been looking.

well beautiful perhaps for those who will use it, I'll never get to see how beautiful it'll be since it will be rich private property. and tiltshift has a good point, expanding AAV would make the current houses decrease in value because more houses will be built, the homeowners association, or its nearest equivalent would have to complain about it.

IMO is in my opinion. I reckon you should be using that quite a lot;)

Why it seems that's you do not want poor families living near the railroad tracks to have a decent home of their own? Kaysa naman habang buhay na sila na maging eye-sore sa tabi ng riles
If NBP will be an extension of AAV , do you think you can freely enter there at masusubaybayan mo ang developments doon , bet not.
Mas okay kasi kung mas mapapakinabangan ng mas nakararami whether rich or poor .

As for FCC , ganun talaga yung mga sprawling new developments walang gasinong locators , even Boni Global City na nasa Makati na nga halos ganun din naman ang status kokonti pa ang locators at kung hindi pa sinagip ng Ayala baka lalong empty din yun. It does not take overnight for any CBD's to be dense .Filinvest is relatively new in this kind of huge property development and they do not have the clout that other established developers does but they've done a very commendable job at hindi nila tinipid ang pagkakagawa sa FCC , take time to explore it sometimes and you will see how good is it in terms of quality.

Perhaps , take time to study the developments history of Makati and Ortigas on its first 8 years , kung ganon na kaagad karami ang buildings/structures sa business districts nila .
Yung Asiaworld City nga above 15 years na , look at it now?

Well said cropher. NBP land could be very handy in getting Southrail or Northrail back on its tracks. All it needs are proper community facilities, eg water, electricity, drainage, etc. not just housing, maybe some jobs too. It'll be hitting two birds with one stone that, even if it's not going to be beautiful like AAV. Stuff that we gotta get squatters into decent living conditions, or at least give them the chance. Some of them can get nasty.

Besides if I had a million bucks I wouldn't want to live near the country's worst criminals.

I think if the relocation by the government of the penitentiary in the province , there are provision for some light industries to be set up in NBP too. And most of the dwellers near the railways have jobs , electricity , but they their problems are the safer place to live in away from the railtracks.

Indeed, it's a win-win situation for the squatters and the government. At least if everyone does their bit.

Here's my take on it:

We definitely need a relocation site for all the squatters along the PNR. That is undeniable.

On the other hand, do the Ayalas really need to enlarge AAV? Even right now, there are still vacant lots within the current AAV, and there are even more empty houses. Then Ayala has a lot of other upscale residential developments a few kilometers to the south, like Westgrove. It's not like enlarging AAV will fulfill any dire need by the market. An AAV extension is quite obviously a non-essential development from the point of view of national progress.

thats true...we do need a relocation site for squatters along the PNR. And if they develop a properly planned and sustianable community for them in NBP land, then i support that over an AAV extention. Ayala is developing other upscale subdivisions in other parts of MM and its surroundings, anyways.

So that's it , the subdivision is considered empty . Its a pity that it is one of the ideally situated property in Muntinlupa city because of its highest location and yet it is not that successful . BTW , who is the owner / developer of Susana Hgts.?

Not really empty, There are people living there but when Henry Sy developed this one of the sisters of this famous family decided to turn her share into everest memorial park. Guess what insane family this is which has tons of land all over the metropolis. (They sold the land to Ayala and kept the front and are in a dispute with the Ayalas right now)

the madrigals of course... Their Daddy Vicente was the 1940-50's version of Lucio Tan!

according to ayala website---5000+ households....well, that has to be big

They've 5000 households but 10,000 lots approximately half are built on. I doubt if ALI will be that interested in NBD they've actually been looking at the back ALI near Daang Hari.

NBD will be too expensive as the government will probably want to maximize it's return or at least perform a social good like inexpensive housing.

Yup yung Ayala Alabang land , formerly owned by the Madrigals .
So yung Susana heights sino ang present owner?

After meeting with GMA
MUNTI PASSES LEGAL BASIS FOR EQUITABLE SHARE TO NBP
February 7, 2005 – Monday

News released courtesy of Public Information Office
For ref: Please call Tez Valencia at 862-49-26


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As directed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo during her visit in Muntinlupa last week, the city council recently approved a resolution establishing a legal basis on the claim of the city for an equitable share to New Bilibid Prisons Reservation area.

Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi said the legal basis for the claim is based on several enumerations from the 1987 Constitution and Republic Act 7160 of the New Local Government Code.

The Constitution provides that local government units shall be entitled to an equitable share in the proceeds of the utilization and development of the national wealth within their respective areas in the manner provided by law including sharing the same with inhabitants by way of direct benefits.

The city claims for an equitable share of 10 perecent to thje remaining available land area of the NBP, which is 450 hectares. The NBP is registered under the Commonwealth of the Philippines and is managed by the Department of Justice.

The legal basis for the city’s claims are also supported by sections 2, 27, 26 and 289 of the local government code.

Based on the legal basis the city requests for approval by Arroyo its earlier resolutions to allocate 15 hectares of land in the NBP Reservation area for the establishment of a government center.

Another resolution is its request for 5 hectares of land for the creation of the Muntinlupa Material Recovery Facilities; a resolution to allocate a portion of the NBP for the benefit of employees and dependents of the Bureau of Corrections, public school teachers and other government employees and long time residents and for the establishment of the golden tower project.

President Arroyo has appointed Vice President Noli De Castro to enforce guidelines and other directives for the proper development and disposition of the NBP in coordination with the local government.

Not really empty, There are people living there but when Henry Sy developed this one of the sisters of this famous family decided to turn her share into everest memorial park. Guess what insane family this is which has tons of land all over the metropolis. (They sold the land to Ayala and kept the front and are in a dispute with the Ayalas right now)

the madrigals of course... Their Daddy Vicente was the 1940-50's version of Lucio Tan!
paki linaw nga yung story ulit medyo hindi clear....so are you saying, the whole susana is ayala owned except the memorial park???

sorry, Susana Heights is land owned by the Madrigal sisters. Henry Sy bought the land and developed it. He was the main developer of the area. One of the sisters Ising who is usually contrabida to her sisters did not only not sell but she put up a memorial park beside the subdivision, effectively making it not a popular place to live.

Ayala bought the mango orchard prior which they turned into Alabang, These are two seperate deals. The madrigals kept the front of Alabang which is now Madrigal Business Park.

Offices :
Insular Life Towers 1 & 2
Asian Star

The memorial park is just a very small portion of the Susana Heights village but located shortly after the entrance in Susana heights exit in SSH .
Anyway , but there are lots of trees ( almost like a forest ) surrounding the elevated village which kind of provide cleaner air in the area so its still good .
In time , if ever the NBP will be developed in the coming years or decades , Susana Heights will hit it bigtime because it is just nearby . It is one of the biggest subdivisions in Muntinlupa City in terms of land area next to Ayala Alabang .

i found this nice aerial after googling... hehehe.

Nice shot! There are still plenty of open spaces though....

Looks like a greener version of BGC.

Plus factor is that you get a nicest view of the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines and the breeze that it emits on the land .

Its about 65% only of FCC captured on that aerial pic , most of the portion of Westgate/Northgate /Laguna Heights/Corporate Woods are not not visible.
But it is a very nice pic indeed.

FCC looks so nice...! so green. and it's cool how they designed it with a whole bunch of those evenly spaced out circumferential and radial-type roads..

nice shot. :okay:

very nice shot :okay: :okay:

The main cluster of high-rises are in that photo righ? Or is in in this Westgate Northgate, which I haven't kept up with lately:D

only a part of westgate can be seen in the pic (the one on the left). Nortgate is not shown in the picture at all.

sweet aerial...it is very well planned. There is a lot of room for further development.

@ renell - the cluster of skyscrapers is captured in the shot. Westgate is for IT offices which are smaller buildings. That picture does not show the other skyline, Madrigal Business Park.

here are the Filinvest pics that i said i will post before...:D (finally!)

Yeah , if you will check it out there by yourself , lots of greeneries lining harmoniously the main streets is one of the strong points of this upcoming CBD. And currently , though only a few but at least 2-4 simultaneous construction developments are going on there which is good enough because at least there is continuous activity and better than none.

With all these news (yung dispute, Jamby, etc.) surrounding the Madrigals, it gives me a bad impression of their family.

Ano pa ba pagmamayari nila? New Manila?

thanks for posting them, GreyX! haha. too bad they turned out a bit blurry. when did you take them...? the Insular Life towers remind me of RCBC Plaza in Makati. I dunno why. maybe cause they're both really, really nice... hehe!

They are blurry because i forgot to bring my tripod that time:D

THE GOOGLE CRAZINESS didn't end at the three major skylines, Makati, Ortigas, and Manila.....it definitely continues here!

what building is this again??

good question what is that?:D

xetradax

They own a lot of land everywhere, mostly very prime, e.g. both sides of ortigas ave corner santolan. A big chunk has been sold already, e.g. they sold canluban to the yulos, alabang to ayala, developed corinthian ortigases. The Boracay residence of Erap was bought from them.

what building is this again??


is it the one in the 5th picture...i'm not sure, I'm guessing it is though?
