Thank you. The former site of Dominican College gid man sa may Central Market.

it's not about the information your trying to share, but the way you deliver it... very combative and antagonistic. maybe you should be more adept in using diplomatic jargons when injecting your views and opinions.

we don't behave like some 12 year-old brats as you claimed us to be, but certainly we don't behave like rampaging barbarians outside the gates of Troy - whining for her destruction, like you showed yourself.

don't be too emotional. that's one sign of immaturity. :cheers:

Sarabia Manor Hotel and Convention Center

http://i37.tinypic.com/24vnx53.jpg

If I remember it correctly, the rendering of the Sarabia hotel showed it to be a building of 10 floors. But then, the asian financial crisis set in, the peso devalued from 26 to the dollar to 35 per dollar and since the sarabia's loans for the financing of the construction of the hotel was in dollar terms, their balance of payments ballooned to several millions of pesos until they were forced to stop the construction of the hotel. The reason why their loans were in dollars instead of pesos was that the interest rate of a loan in dollars was just 6%, while loans taken out in pesos have a an interest rate of 12%. They did not however forsee the asian financial crisis set in motion by a devalued thai baht. Anyway, going to back, this is the reason why the foundation of the hotel is for a ten story building but the entire building as it stands now is just 5 floors. If you look closely at the picture, you will see potruding structures colored red, those are the supporting steel pillars, which could have been extended higher had the construction finished up to the 10th floor.

Thus, because of the financial crisis that beset the sarabia's finances, they had to look for new capital, therefore, the Barcelo group, a spanish chain of hotels, stepped in and for a time, the hotel was renamed as Barcelo-Sarabia Manor Hotel. Later, the two groups had a falling out and the hotel reverted to the ownership of the sarabias.

The question now is, do the sarabias have any plans to increase the hotel's number of floors from 5 to 10?

and that's for lower rates compared to other hospitals. this hospital is already more than 100 years old. a sense of history will hopefully be considered in its expansion plans.

Utility eyes 10 areas for expansion



LISTED UTILITY Manila Water Co. of the Ayala group is looking at about 10 areas outside its east zone concession in Metro Manila for expansion.

"We’re looking at both North and South of Manila. Even Visayas and Mindanao," Luis Juan B. Oreta, Manila Water chief finance officer, told reporters.

"Generally what we do is we enter into areas where there is a favorable local government ... an area where the economic and political environment is friendly to private sector investment," Mr. Oreta said.

Manila Water has been actively seeking projects outside of its east zone concession area in Metro Manila.

Along with west zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. and three other bulk water suppliers, Manila Water has been accredited to join the bidding for the bulk water supply contract of the Metro Iloilo Water District.

Mr. Oreta said the Iloilo project is expected to produce 20 million liters per day, with P1 billion in estimated investments.

Two weeks ago, the local government of Cebu also accepted the joint venture proposal of Manila Water for a similar bulk water supply project in the province.

Negotiations will now take place following the acceptance of the local government of the utility’s unsolicited proposal.

This will then be subjected to a "Swiss challenge," or a competitive challenge involving other interested parties. Manila Water must match a superior bid to win the project.

Mr. Oreta said Manila Water is looking to invest P1.5 billion in the project.

Last month, Manila Water completed the acquisition of AAA Water Corp.

AAA Water owns 70% of Laguna AAA Water Corp., a joint venture company with the province of Laguna, which has a 25-year concession that started in 2007.

The firm supplies water to the city of Sta. Rosa and the municipalities of Biñan and Cabuyao in Laguna.

Manila Water bought AAA Water by buying Asia Water Ltd.’s 65% stake, and All Asia Development Corp.’s 35% interest.

Manila Water also secured last April regulatory approval to extend by 15 years its concession to service the east zone area of Metro Manila to 2037.

Manila Water provides water and wastewater services to nearly six million people in 23 cities and municipalities.

Manila Water reported a 16% profit increase for the first half of the year to P1.5 billion, due to a higher sales volume and increasing customer base.

Manila Water shares closed at P15.50 yesterday, lower than Friday’s close of P15.75 apiece. — Jose Bimbo F. Santos

Santa Maria (now Ateneo) also... it sounds non-chinese but that school is thickly populated with chinese kids.

How Santa Maria started in Iloilo:

Expelled from China by the Communist takeover, the Jesuits came to Iloilo in 1953, and started their apostolic work among the local Chinese community as continuation of their missionary work in Mainland China. With the support of the Iloilo Chinese and Filipino communities, Santa Maria Parish under the tutelage of Our Lady Queen of China was established by Fr. Guerrino Marsecano, an Italian Jesuit Missionary.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ateneo_de_Iloilo

Sa main entrance sang Santa Maria ang una mo guid da makita pag sulod mo ang statue sang Our Lady Queen of China. Indi guid na sya madula sa class pictures sang mga taga Santa, always present guid na sya kay sya ang background pirme. :)

May Chinese class man da ang Santa Maria, mas lax sila compared sa ICCHS kay indi required kung indi mo gusto especially sa HS transferees.

Expansion of Estancia water system underway with LWUA aid

Iloilo City (5 October) -- The Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) will help the water district of the municipality of Estancia improve its water supply system with a P30-million financial assistance package.

The program of work for the project includes among others the drilling of additional wells, provision of electro-mechanical and chlorination equipment, installation of new transmission and distribution pipes including valves and hydrants, construction of a new reservoir, provision of power line extension and standby equipment, installation of service connections, and provision of NRW reduction program.

Estancia Mayor Restituto Mosqueda said they are thankful to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for the project which he said will bring a more efficient and wider coverage for the residents of his municipality.

Estancia Water District General Manager Engr. Rodney Agregado said the project, located in Barangay Bayuyan, was conceived to upgrade the facilities and expand the capability of the 22-year old water district to provide potable water to its service area, which presently covers five barangays in the town's poblacion with some 600 connections.

The Estancia Water District was formed on October 9, 1987 and started its operations in 1988.

The new financial assistance is the second to be availed of so far by the water district from LWUA. It first received a loan from the water agency to the tune of P4.25 million between 1988 and 2003.

The Sangguniang Bayan of the municipality has duly endorsed the new financial assistance.

Estancia, situated about 135 kilometers from here, is noted as a center of commercial fishing in the country owing to its abundant marine resources. It is for this reason that the town has earned the moniker as the "Alaska of the Philippines.

Estancia lies in the Visayan Sea triangle, an imaginary triangle extending from the provinces of Iloilo, Negros, Cebu, Samar, and Masbate. This triangle is part of the Sulu-Sulawesi Triangle of the Sulu Sea and neighboring Indonesia where a large concentration of marine organisms coupled with climate conditions support a massive marine ecosystem.

Various commercial fish species are harvested along Estancia's waters, namely mackerel, barracuda, sardines, shad, pompano, grouper, squid, cuttlefish, shrimp, prawns, shells, seaweed, and others.

The municipality is taking steps together with the national government and private sector towards the development and protection of local marine resources. (PIA 6-JSC)

Preparations for Mother Rosario Arroyo's canonization process starts

Iloilo City (5 October) -- The Mother Rosario Arroyo Commission which spearheads the formal opening of the process of the cause of her canonization has undertaken various preparations for the event.

Mother Gabrielle of the Dominican Sisters in Molo, the Congregation founded by Mother Rosario, said they have started the preparations for the formal opening with Dawn Rosary at 4:00 in the morning and a Holy Mass at 9:00 since September 28, 2009.

The masses held at the chapel of the Dominican Sister's Motherhouse were participated in by the different schools of the congregation, other institutions and religious organizations and devotees of the Blessed Virgin.

For the past four months, the Dominican Sisters have been holding recollections to study the life of their Foundress.

The Liturgical Celebration marking the formal Diocesan Process of the Cause of Canonization will be on October 7, at the St. Anne Church, Molo, Iloilo city, at 9:00 in the morning.

The Eucharistic celebration will be officiated by Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, 10 other bishops and about 50 priests, to be followed by private viewing and blessing of the remains of Mother Rosario at the Dominican Mother House.

The process is mandated by an Edict issued by Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, given on the 28th of July 2009, having approved and therefore, makes public the petition of Fr. Samson S. Sillorequez, OAR, after having done consultations and verified the existence of a true and widespread sanctity enjoyed by Mother Rosario Arroyo, in life and even after death.

The Members of the Tribunal for the process of canonization is headed by Most Rev. Angel Lagdameo, D.D. as Judge; with Very Rev. Higinio Velarde, VG,PA, as Judge Delegate; Rev. Fr. John de Castro, OSJ, Promoter of Justice; Rev. Fr. Carlo Noquez, Notary; Sr. Thaddeus Magtoles, OP, Actual Notary; Msgr. Jose Maria Amado Delgado, Rev. fr. Rey Zerrudo, Theological Commission; Rev. Fr. Alejandro Esperancilla, Sr. Visitacion Alecto, OP, Atty. Rex Salvilla, Historical Commission; and Rev. Fr. Samson Sillorequez, Postulator.

In his Edict, Msgr. Lagdameo also called on anyone who may have useful information regarding the Cause of Mother Rosario Arroyo, to bring such documents, materials or information to his attention.

It can be recalled that Mother Rosario Arroyo is the great, great grandmother of the First Gentleman, Jose Miguel Arroyo.

Palladium Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame Inducts Four Leaders of Business Excellence at the 2009 Palladium Group Asia-Pacific (APAC) Summit

Dongwha Enterprises, Iloilo City, Kiwibank, and Korean Customs Service Lauded for Breakthrough Performance Results

JAKARTA, Indonesia & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Palladium Group, Inc., the global leader in helping organizations execute their strategies by making better decisions, today named four top-performing organizations to the Palladium Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame for Executing Strategy™: Dongwha Enterprises (South Korea), Iloilo City (the Philippines), Kiwibank (New Zealand), and the Korean Customs Service (South Korea). The award recipients were honored for their breakthrough business results during today’s Hall of Fame award presentation ceremony at the 2009 Palladium Asia-Pacific (APAC) Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The Hall of Fame award honors organizations that have achieved business excellence through the use of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), the world’s preeminent performance management system. The BSC is based on the simple premise that “what gets measured is what gets done.” Created by Palladium Group co-founders Drs. Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton, the Balanced Scorecard is also a performance management philosophy and system that links strategy to operations. The Balanced Scorecard continues to receive recognition as a strategic management tool that leads to improved shareholder returns. Harvard Business Review ranked the BSC among one of the most important business concepts in decades and Kaplan and Norton among the top management thinkers. This year, the pair's seminal The Balanced Scorecard: Translating Strategy into Action (Harvard Business Press, 1996) was cited as one of the 100 best business books of all time in the 2009 book of the same name.

“While the current global economic environment appears to be improving, many organizations, from private companies to government agencies, still face significant challenges,” said Robert L. Howie Jr., Managing Director of Palladium and Director of the Hall of Fame program. “Organizations using the Kaplan-Norton strategy management system are well- equipped in a nascent recovery to gain the kind of insights needed to capitalize on new opportunities, mitigate risk, and drive organizational performance.”

Founded in 2000, the BSC Hall of Fame program today has a roster of 128 honorees that span the private and public sectors throughout more than 20 countries, including Hilton Hotels, Infosys Technologies, Motorola, Ricoh Corporation, and the Singapore Ministry of Manpower. Winners are selected based on the quality of their BSC implementation and the results they demonstrate over a period of at least two years.

Dongwha Enterprises

Dongwha Enterprises is South Korea’s leading forest products company, servicing the commercial and residential construction markets. It adopted the Balanced Scorecard to help forge a new vision, execute a strategy of operational excellence, and foster organizational alignment down to the individual employee level. An Office of Strategy Management—a key organizational function conceived by Drs. Kaplan and Norton—was established to coordinate the cross-functional business processes required for success. In the two years since adopting the BSC, Dongwha's revenues grew almost 25%, its operating profit more than 300%, and customer satisfaction 16%. Process innovation, factory utilization, and internal knowledge sharing also improved significantly. “I am confident that the BSC is and will remain the most important management methodology and tool for Dongwha,” said CEO Kim Jong-Su. “The BSC performance management system is a critical factor in achieving company targets.”

Iloilo City

Iloilo City, a major center of the arts, culture, and sports, topped a survey by MoneySense Magazine as one of the "Best Place to Live in the Philippines." The Institute for Solidarity in Asia, an advocacy organization for good governance, partnered with the city in using the BSC to help improve public accountability and promote responsible citizenship and economic and social development. Since its adoption, citizen satisfaction has risen 15%, manufacturing capitalization has expanded fourfold, and National Achievement Test results in the city's public schools are up 20%. “The BSC has enabled us to clearly communicate strategy and align our workforce through a common language and shared objectives, measures, targets, and initiatives,” said Mayor Jerry Treńas. “The process has helped make our city vibrant, well-governed, and prosperous, establishing a roadmap for Iloilo to achieve even more as a Premier City by 2015.”

Kiwibank

Kiwibank, the consumer banking subsidiary of New Zealand Post Group, is New Zealand’s fastest-growing financial institution. Needing a management system to execute a new strategy of innovation led the bank to adopt the BSC. An Office of Strategy Management coordinates cross-functional “theme teams” to ensure organization-wide focus on the critical drivers of success. In two years, Kiwibank's market share has increased 35%, its net profit 70%, and its Net Promoter Score—a preeminent customer loyalty metric—hit 52%, the highest of any major New Zealand bank.“Since adopting the BSC, we have become better at implementing major change initiatives that affect the entire organization,” said Sam Knowles, Acting CEO of the New Zealand Post Group. Adds Murray Wu, General Manager, Business Transformation of Kiwibank, “The BSC is critical to help us achieve our vision of being New Zealand’s largest consumer bank by 2020.”

Korean Customs Service

The Korean Customs Service (KCS) adopted the Kaplan-Norton strategy management system in 2005 to more effectively allocate human and financial resources and drive organizational performance. KCS sought to clarify strategy, bolster performance, and optimize data to make better decisions. It also integrated the BSC framework with Six Sigma quality improvement approaches and the Experience Co-Creation customer experience methodology.

Iloilo City now Asia-Pacific’s
leader in business excellence

THE Iloilo City Government led by Mayor Jerry Treñas has been officially inducted to the 2009 Palladium Balanced Scorecard (BSC) Hall of Fame as one of the four leaders of business excellence during the Palladium Group’s Asia-Pacific (APAC) Summit in Jakarta , Indonesia October 5.

Treñas received the city’s global recognition during the Hall of Fame award presentation ceremony in honor for the metropolis’s breakthrough business performance results.

Iloilo City is a major center of arts, culture, and sports making it one of the “ Best Places to Live in the Philippines ” as identified in a survey by MoneySense Magazine.
Using the BSC to help improve public accountability and promote responsible citizenship and economic and social development, the city partnered since 2005 with the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA), an advocacy organization for good governance.

“Since its adoption, citizen satisfaction has risen 15 percent, manufacturing capitalization has expanded fourfold, and National Achievement Test results in the city's public schools are up percent 20 percent,” the Palladium Group said in a statement.

“The BSC has enabled us to clearly communicate strategy and align our workforce through a common language and shared objectives, measures, targets, and initiatives,” Treñas stressed.

“The process has helped make our city vibrant, well-governed, and prosperous, establishing a roadmap for Iloilo to achieve even more as a Premier City by 2015,” said Treñas

Lauded as business leaders along with Iloilo City are Dongwha Enterprises as South Korea’s leading forest products company; Kiwibank, the consumer banking subsidiary of New Zealand Post Group as New Zealand’s fastest-growing financial institution; and Korean Customs Service (KCS) which has more effectively allocated human and financial resources and drive organizational performance.

The Hall of Fame award honors organizations that have achieved business excellence through the use of the BSC, the world’s preeminent performance management system.

The BSC is based on the simple premise that “what gets measured is what gets done.” Created by Palladium Group co-founders Drs. Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton, the BSC is also a performance management philosophy and system that links strategy to operations.

The BSC continues to receive recognition as a strategic management tool that leads to improved shareholder returns. Harvard Business Review ranked the BSC among one of the most important business concepts in decades and Kaplan and Norton among the top management thinkers.

This year, the pair’s seminal The Balanced Scorecard: Translating Strategy into Action (Harvard Business Press, 1996) was cited as one of the 100 best business books of all time in the 2009 book of the same name.

Founded in 2000, the BSC Hall of Fame program has a roster of 128 honorees that span the private and public sectors throughout more than 20 countries, including Hilton Hotels, Infosys Technologies, Motorola, Ricoh Corporation, and the Singapore Ministry of Manpower. Winners are selected based on the quality of their BSC implementation and the results they demonstrate over a period of at least two years.

“While the current global economic environment appears to be improving, many organizations, from private companies to government agencies, still face significant challenges,” said Robert L. Howie Jr., Palladium managing director and director of the Hall of Fame program.

“Organizations using the Kaplan-Norton strategy management system are well- equipped in a nascent recovery to gain the kind of insights needed to capitalize on new opportunities, mitigate risk, and drive organizational performance,” said Howie.

Estancia water system to
get P30-M aid from LWUA

THE Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) will help the water district of the municipality of Estancia improve its water supply system with a P30-million financial assistance package.

The program of work for the project includes among others the drilling of additional wells, provision of electro-mechanical and chlorination equipment, installation of new transmission and distribution pipes including valves and hydrants, construction of a new reservoir, provision of power line extension and standby equipment, installation of service connections, and provision of NRW reduction program.
Estancia Water District General Manager, Engr. Rodney Agregado said the project, located in Barangay Bayuyan, was conceived to upgrade the facilities and expand the capability of the 22-year-old water district to provide potable water to its service area, which presently covers five barangays in the town’s poblacion with some 600 connections.

The Estancia Water District was formed on October 9, 1987 and started its operations in 1988.

The new financial assistance is the second to be availed of so far by the water district from LWUA. It first received a loan from the water agency to the tune of P4.25 million between 1988 and 2003.

The Sangguniang Bayan of the municipality has duly endorsed the new financial assistance.

Estancia, situated about 135 kilometers from here, is noted as a center of commercial fishing in the country owing to its abundant marine resources. It is for this reason that the town has earned the moniker “Alaska of the Philippines.”

Estancia lies in the Visayan Sea triangle, an imaginary triangle extending from the provinces of Iloilo, Negros, Cebu, Samar, and Masbate. This triangle is part of the Sulu-Sulawesi Triangle of the Sulu Sea and neighboring Indonesia where a large concentration of marine organisms coupled with climate conditions support a massive marine ecosystem.

Various commercial fish species are harvested along Estancia’s waters, namely mackerel, barracuda, sardines, shad, pompano, grouper, squid, cuttlefish, shrimp, prawns, shells, seaweed, and others. (PIA 6-JSC)

Preparations for Mother Rosario Arroyo's canonization process starts

Iloilo City (5 October) -- The Mother Rosario Arroyo Commission which spearheads the formal opening of the process of the cause of her canonization has undertaken various preparations for the event.

Mother Gabrielle of the Dominican Sisters in Molo, the Congregation founded by Mother Rosario, said they have started the preparations for the formal opening with Dawn Rosary at 4:00 in the morning and a Holy Mass at 9:00 since September 28, 2009.

The masses held at the chapel of the Dominican Sister's Motherhouse were participated in by the different schools of the congregation, other institutions and religious organizations and devotees of the Blessed Virgin.

For the past four months, the Dominican Sisters have been holding recollections to study the life of their Foundress.

The Liturgical Celebration marking the formal Diocesan Process of the Cause of Canonization will be on October 7, at the St. Anne Church, Molo, Iloilo city, at 9:00 in the morning.

The Eucharistic celebration will be officiated by Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, 10 other bishops and about 50 priests, to be followed by private viewing and blessing of the remains of Mother Rosario at the Dominican Mother House.

The process is mandated by an Edict issued by Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, given on the 28th of July 2009, having approved and therefore, makes public the petition of Fr. Samson S. Sillorequez, OAR, after having done consultations and verified the existence of a true and widespread sanctity enjoyed by Mother Rosario Arroyo, in life and even after death.

The Members of the Tribunal for the process of canonization is headed by Most Rev. Angel Lagdameo, D.D. as Judge; with Very Rev. Higinio Velarde, VG,PA, as Judge Delegate; Rev. Fr. John de Castro, OSJ, Promoter of Justice; Rev. Fr. Carlo Noquez, Notary; Sr. Thaddeus Magtoles, OP, Actual Notary; Msgr. Jose Maria Amado Delgado, Rev. fr. Rey Zerrudo, Theological Commission; Rev. Fr. Alejandro Esperancilla, Sr. Visitacion Alecto, OP, Atty. Rex Salvilla, Historical Commission; and Rev. Fr. Samson Sillorequez, Postulator.

In his Edict, Msgr. Lagdameo also called on anyone who may have useful information regarding the Cause of Mother Rosario Arroyo, to bring such documents, materials or information to his attention.

It can be recalled that Mother Rosario Arroyo is the great, great grandmother of the First Gentleman, Jose Miguel Arroyo.

The award is given by the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS).

Dr. Lebata-Ramos will receive the award at the University of Tokyo in Japan on November 4, 2009 during which time, she will also make a 15-minute presentation of her research projects.

The award is a recognition of the contribution of young agricultural researchers to technological development for the improvement of food security and the environment in developing countries.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) of Japan started this program in 2007. It is supported by the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences.

Dr. Lebata-Ramos, with her co-authors, also received the prestigious Dr. Elvira O. Tan Memorial Award for best paper under the aquaculture and inland fisheries category in July this year.

Her paper on the “Evaluation of hatchery-based enhancement of the mud crab, Scylla spp. fisheries in mangroves: Comparison of species and release strategies” won for her and her co-authors the award.

Hearing for Vanskaps locational clearance set on Wednesday
By Maricar M. Calubiran

The Iloilo City Zoning Board of Appeals and Adjustment (ICZBAA) will conduct a hearing Wednesday (October 7) on the application of Vanskaps & Management Group for a locational clearance.


The locational clearance is in relation to the bid of the Vanskaps to operate a poker game at Boardwalk entertainment at leisure complex in Mandurriao district. The hearing will be held 3 p.m. of October 7 at the Barangay Hall of San Rafael, Mandurriao.

The ICZBAA is composed of representatives from the City Planning Development Office, City Legal Office, and City Engineers Office among others.

Vanskaps is a licensed gaming firm of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) which is based in Lahug, Cebu.

San Rafael Barangay Captain Azucena Tabuyoc is amenable to the operation of the poker game as it will generate more taxes to the community which is contrary to the Church’s stand on the proposed poker game.

The Church through Msgr. Meliton Oso expressed strong opposition to the poker game and any form of gambling as it will ruin the moral fiber of the people.

The Boardwalk became the alternative site for the poker game after violations were imminent in the first site eyed by Vanskaps in operating a poker room. The first site of the proposed poker game was the Residence Hotel along General Luna, City Proper.

The hotel is near the university. There is a city ordinance which bans the establishment of gambling within the 200 meters distance from school or church.

As early as January 2009, the gambling firm has already expressed their interest in establishing poker games in the city. The Vanskaps & Management Group Inc. through its President Edward Soon Chiu has written Mayor Jerry Treñas about his plan.

Treñas immediately referred Vanskaps proposal to the City Legal Office and ICZBAA for comment. The CLO through Atty. Giovanni Miraflores came up with a recommendation that any gambling operation in the city is subject to regulation of the Sangguniang Panlungsod as provided in the City Ordinance.

Utility eyes 10 areas for expansion



LISTED UTILITY Manila Water Co. of the Ayala group is looking at about 10 areas outside its east zone concession in Metro Manila for expansion.

"We’re looking at both North and South of Manila. Even Visayas and Mindanao," Luis Juan B. Oreta, Manila Water chief finance officer, told reporters.

"Generally what we do is we enter into areas where there is a favorable local government ... an area where the economic and political environment is friendly to private sector investment," Mr. Oreta said.

Manila Water has been actively seeking projects outside of its east zone concession area in Metro Manila.

Along with west zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. and three other bulk water suppliers, Manila Water has been accredited to join the bidding for the bulk water supply contract of the Metro Iloilo Water District.

Mr. Oreta said the Iloilo project is expected to produce 20 million liters per day, with P1 billion in estimated investments.

Two weeks ago, the local government of Cebu also accepted the joint venture proposal of Manila Water for a similar bulk water supply project in the province.

Negotiations will now take place following the acceptance of the local government of the utility’s unsolicited proposal.

This will then be subjected to a "Swiss challenge," or a competitive challenge involving other interested parties. Manila Water must match a superior bid to win the project.

Mr. Oreta said Manila Water is looking to invest P1.5 billion in the project.

Last month, Manila Water completed the acquisition of AAA Water Corp.

AAA Water owns 70% of Laguna AAA Water Corp., a joint venture company with the province of Laguna, which has a 25-year concession that started in 2007.

The firm supplies water to the city of Sta. Rosa and the municipalities of Biñan and Cabuyao in Laguna.

Manila Water bought AAA Water by buying Asia Water Ltd.’s 65% stake, and All Asia Development Corp.’s 35% interest.

Manila Water also secured last April regulatory approval to extend by 15 years its concession to service the east zone area of Metro Manila to 2037.

Manila Water provides water and wastewater services to nearly six million people in 23 cities and municipalities.

Manila Water reported a 16% profit increase for the first half of the year to P1.5 billion, due to a higher sales volume and increasing customer base.

Manila Water shares closed at P15.50 yesterday, lower than Friday’s close of P15.75 apiece. — Jose Bimbo F. Santos

Expansion of Estancia water system underway with LWUA aid

Palladium Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame Inducts Four Leaders of Business Excellence at the 2009 Palladium Group Asia-Pacific (APAC) Summit

Dongwha Enterprises, Iloilo City, Kiwibank, and Korean Customs Service Lauded for Breakthrough Performance Results

JAKARTA, Indonesia & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Palladium Group, Inc., the global leader in helping organizations execute their strategies by making better decisions, today named four top-performing organizations to the Palladium Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame for Executing Strategy™: Dongwha Enterprises (South Korea), Iloilo City (the Philippines), Kiwibank (New Zealand), and the Korean Customs Service (South Korea). The award recipients were honored for their breakthrough business results during today’s Hall of Fame award presentation ceremony at the 2009 Palladium Asia-Pacific (APAC) Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The Hall of Fame award honors organizations that have achieved business excellence through the use of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), the world’s preeminent performance management system. The BSC is based on the simple premise that “what gets measured is what gets done.” Created by Palladium Group co-founders Drs. Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton, the Balanced Scorecard is also a performance management philosophy and system that links strategy to operations. The Balanced Scorecard continues to receive recognition as a strategic management tool that leads to improved shareholder returns. Harvard Business Review ranked the BSC among one of the most important business concepts in decades and Kaplan and Norton among the top management thinkers. This year, the pair's seminal The Balanced Scorecard: Translating Strategy into Action (Harvard Business Press, 1996) was cited as one of the 100 best business books of all time in the 2009 book of the same name.

“While the current global economic environment appears to be improving, many organizations, from private companies to government agencies, still face significant challenges,” said Robert L. Howie Jr., Managing Director of Palladium and Director of the Hall of Fame program. “Organizations using the Kaplan-Norton strategy management system are well- equipped in a nascent recovery to gain the kind of insights needed to capitalize on new opportunities, mitigate risk, and drive organizational performance.”

Founded in 2000, the BSC Hall of Fame program today has a roster of 128 honorees that span the private and public sectors throughout more than 20 countries, including Hilton Hotels, Infosys Technologies, Motorola, Ricoh Corporation, and the Singapore Ministry of Manpower. Winners are selected based on the quality of their BSC implementation and the results they demonstrate over a period of at least two years.

Dongwha Enterprises

Dongwha Enterprises is South Korea’s leading forest products company, servicing the commercial and residential construction markets. It adopted the Balanced Scorecard to help forge a new vision, execute a strategy of operational excellence, and foster organizational alignment down to the individual employee level. An Office of Strategy Management—a key organizational function conceived by Drs. Kaplan and Norton—was established to coordinate the cross-functional business processes required for success. In the two years since adopting the BSC, Dongwha's revenues grew almost 25%, its operating profit more than 300%, and customer satisfaction 16%. Process innovation, factory utilization, and internal knowledge sharing also improved significantly. “I am confident that the BSC is and will remain the most important management methodology and tool for Dongwha,” said CEO Kim Jong-Su. “The BSC performance management system is a critical factor in achieving company targets.”

Iloilo City, a major center of the arts, culture, and sports, topped a survey by MoneySense Magazine as one of the "Best Place to Live in the Philippines." The Institute for Solidarity in Asia, an advocacy organization for good governance, partnered with the city in using the BSC to help improve public accountability and promote responsible citizenship and economic and social development. Since its adoption, citizen satisfaction has risen 15%, manufacturing capitalization has expanded fourfold, and National Achievement Test results in the city's public schools are up 20%. “The BSC has enabled us to clearly communicate strategy and align our workforce through a common language and shared objectives, measures, targets, and initiatives,” said Mayor Jerry Treńas. “The process has helped make our city vibrant, well-governed, and prosperous, establishing a roadmap for Iloilo to achieve even more as a Premier City by 2015.”

Kiwibank

Kiwibank, the consumer banking subsidiary of New Zealand Post Group, is New Zealand’s fastest-growing financial institution. Needing a management system to execute a new strategy of innovation led the bank to adopt the BSC. An Office of Strategy Management coordinates cross-functional “theme teams” to ensure organization-wide focus on the critical drivers of success. In two years, Kiwibank's market share has increased 35%, its net profit 70%, and its Net Promoter Score—a preeminent customer loyalty metric—hit 52%, the highest of any major New Zealand bank.“Since adopting the BSC, we have become better at implementing major change initiatives that affect the entire organization,” said Sam Knowles, Acting CEO of the New Zealand Post Group. Adds Murray Wu, General Manager, Business Transformation of Kiwibank, “The BSC is critical to help us achieve our vision of being New Zealand’s largest consumer bank by 2020.”

Korean Customs Service

The Korean Customs Service (KCS) adopted the Kaplan-Norton strategy management system in 2005 to more effectively allocate human and financial resources and drive organizational performance. KCS sought to clarify strategy, bolster performance, and optimize data to make better decisions. It also integrated the BSC framework with Six Sigma quality improvement approaches and the Experience Co-Creation customer experience methodology. In three years, KCS's revenue collection jumped 60%, the confiscation of illegal drugs grew 122%, and the percentage of employees who clearly understand the authority's strategy and their contribution to its execution skyrocketed from 31% to 94%. “Going forward, we should focus not only on the performance of KCS as an organization,” notes Deputy Commissioner Sohn Byung-Jo, “but rather on how our performance impacts our nation and its citizenry.”

Notice nyo nga tinlo kaayo ang siudad based sa mga pics ni Haldir07.
Hope the city gov't and the people of the city should maintain this cleanliness.

Let's think what was happen sa Metro Manila pagkatapos sang Ondoy, mga basura nagbalalik sa mga tawo nga wala digto wala diri nga paghaboy sang mga basura nila. Wala kita dapat basulon sa nag-agi nga kalamidad sa Luzon kundi mga tawo man ang may sala.

Hope the city and province of Iloilo is also aware of this kay na agyan man naton ini. Everybody should share or do his/her resposibility to take care our environment.

Sec. Antienza told during the senate inquiry about the typhoon ondoy, devastation sa Metro Manila and Luzon caused by improper waste disposal. Less than 15% only of Mayors and LGUs implement the solid waste management.

Sen. Meriam gusto iakusar ang mga mayors sang naapekto nga nagpabaya sa pag-implement sang solid waste management. Kung ginbuhat lang 'ni nila indi pa tani indi pa naglalala ang damage. Amo ini kis-a kaulugot sang mga tawo kay irresponsable.:bash:

Even Filipino architect and urban-planning expert Felino Palafox Jr. also wants the government agencies held jointly liable with property developers for practicing bad urban planning when they allowed residential and commercial structures to be built in flood threatened areas. Isa pa papanguyadi sang boto ang mga politiko kay hapos lang nila kumbinsihon ang mga squatters.

It is nice that the Palafox is helping us in our urban planning in Iloilo City.

Sarabia Manor Hotel and Convention Center

http://i37.tinypic.com/24vnx53.jpg



I wonder why Sarabia Manor Hotel, being the biggest hotel in Iloilo, is not listed in Agoda.

Agoda is a famous online booking site for hotels. The only hotel that's listed in Iloilo is Days Hotel. Online hotel bookings has become very popular nowadays and fast becoming the preferred way by those who have easy access with the internet. It's convenient, hassle free, you can compare rates and amenities in just a few clicks of the mouse, and you get to read customer reviews both good and bad.

This is another missed opportunity for Iloilo hoteliers - capturing the online market.

Well, biggest does not translate to being the best.. I seriously think Sarabia should renovate their rooms and retrain their cooks.

^^Amu ni ang million?

Despite of their several national awards heaped for years, there are still kinks in Sarabia's armor... i think their back portion should be totally renovated, daw indi na up-to-date ang design kag plastaran, imo.

Utility eyes 10 areas for expansion



LISTED UTILITY Manila Water Co. of the Ayala group is looking at about 10 areas outside its east zone concession in Metro Manila for expansion.

"We’re looking at both North and South of Manila. Even Visayas and Mindanao," Luis Juan B. Oreta, Manila Water chief finance officer, told reporters.

"Generally what we do is we enter into areas where there is a favorable local government ... an area where the economic and political environment is friendly to private sector investment," Mr. Oreta said.

Manila Water has been actively seeking projects outside of its east zone concession area in Metro Manila.

Along with west zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. and three other bulk water suppliers, Manila Water has been accredited to join the bidding for the bulk water supply contract of the Metro Iloilo Water District.

Mr. Oreta said the Iloilo project is expected to produce 20 million liters per day, with P1 billion in estimated investments.

Two weeks ago, the local government of Cebu also accepted the joint venture proposal of Manila Water for a similar bulk water supply project in the province.

Negotiations will now take place following the acceptance of the local government of the utility’s unsolicited proposal.

This will then be subjected to a "Swiss challenge," or a competitive challenge involving other interested parties. Manila Water must match a superior bid to win the project.

Mr. Oreta said Manila Water is looking to invest P1.5 billion in the project.

Last month, Manila Water completed the acquisition of AAA Water Corp.

AAA Water owns 70% of Laguna AAA Water Corp., a joint venture company with the province of Laguna, which has a 25-year concession that started in 2007.

The firm supplies water to the city of Sta. Rosa and the municipalities of Biñan and Cabuyao in Laguna.

Manila Water bought AAA Water by buying Asia Water Ltd.’s 65% stake, and All Asia Development Corp.’s 35% interest.

Manila Water also secured last April regulatory approval to extend by 15 years its concession to service the east zone area of Metro Manila to 2037.

Manila Water provides water and wastewater services to nearly six million people in 23 cities and municipalities.

Manila Water reported a 16% profit increase for the first half of the year to P1.5 billion, due to a higher sales volume and increasing customer base.

Manila Water shares closed at P15.50 yesterday, lower than Friday’s close of P15.75 apiece. — Jose Bimbo F. Santos

Hearing for Vanskaps locational clearance set on Wednesday
By Maricar M. Calubiran

The Iloilo City Zoning Board of Appeals and Adjustment (ICZBAA) will conduct a hearing Wednesday (October 7) on the application of Vanskaps & Management Group for a locational clearance.


The locational clearance is in relation to the bid of the Vanskaps to operate a poker game at Boardwalk entertainment at leisure complex in Mandurriao district. The hearing will be held 3 p.m. of October 7 at the Barangay Hall of San Rafael, Mandurriao.

The ICZBAA is composed of representatives from the City Planning Development Office, City Legal Office, and City Engineers Office among others.

Vanskaps is a licensed gaming firm of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) which is based in Lahug, Cebu.

San Rafael Barangay Captain Azucena Tabuyoc is amenable to the operation of the poker game as it will generate more taxes to the community which is contrary to the Church’s stand on the proposed poker game.

The Church through Msgr. Meliton Oso expressed strong opposition to the poker game and any form of gambling as it will ruin the moral fiber of the people.

The Boardwalk became the alternative site for the poker game after violations were imminent in the first site eyed by Vanskaps in operating a poker room. The first site of the proposed poker game was the Residence Hotel along General Luna, City Proper.

The hotel is near the university. There is a city ordinance which bans the establishment of gambling within the 200 meters distance from school or church.

As early as January 2009, the gambling firm has already expressed their interest in establishing poker games in the city. The Vanskaps & Management Group Inc. through its President Edward Soon Chiu has written Mayor Jerry Treñas about his plan.

Treñas immediately referred Vanskaps proposal to the City Legal Office and ICZBAA for comment. The CLO through Atty. Giovanni Miraflores came up with a recommendation that any gambling operation in the city is subject to regulation of the Sangguniang Panlungsod as provided in the City Ordinance.

Tani madayun na ni... Daw church naman lang ang nagpamalabag ang mga tao daw ok naman guru sa ila...


ah ti madayun na ni pre ky suno sa spy ko damo na kuno kbalo mghampang poker nga mga kapari-an. hahahahah!:lol:

- People are People(I think) is making good. One prominent family name spent a BIG amount when she was first brought to the shop.

- SM Garden Annex is quite big man gale. I was thinking how can 4 coffeeshops fit?LOL
The first floor needs paint and exteriors na lang then I think it will be ready for occupancy.

- I just noticed that BO's Coffee is doing soooo good despite its location.There may be times nga empty pero sa obesrvations ko, they're really doing good. May ara pa to time nga may ga tindog pa para mag hulat table.

So judging the customers from Figaro, Bluejay and Bo's , Iloilo is definitely ready for SB

Ready gid man ang Iloilo for SB... Ambot nga-a dugay pa ni mag ulhot man... Some businessmen always underestimate Iloilo market...:bash::bash::bash:

Yap, that's true... No comments na lang sa nabasahan ko before nga indi magpati nga ang siyudad ta nagdaug sa clean and green...

Tani ang General Luna mamaintain ang kanamion despite of construction of another fly over... I love this street very much... Tani ang diversion road panamion man... Para pareho kanami sang General Luna...

Guys theres a huge construction sa coastal road lapit sa floodway, may mga kabilya na ga tindog. ga banat ang development sa coastal road subong.

Ang Metropolis, saku beautification nila. ang island nila nga before halos kugon ga tubo sbng gin hawanan na.

baw nami gid tani may ebedinsiya ba.hehehe
that simply shows nga ang development of the city slowly spreading her wings to a wider range.

actually kon na notice mo ang picture nga na da 2nd and 3rd specifically are diversion road pics and the 1st pics is the intersection of gen. st and diversion.:)

Good morning Iloilo... Tulog ta anay...

Well, biggest does not translate to being the best.. I seriously think Sarabia should renovate their rooms and retrain their cooks.

yup. sarabia is NOW just leaning on it's past laurels.
thought it it the biggest in WV (except Boracay cguro) but the rooms are not in the same league.

I wonder why Sarabia Manor Hotel, being the biggest hotel in Iloilo, is not listed in Agoda.

Agoda is a famous online booking site for hotels. The only hotel that's listed in Iloilo is Days Hotel. Online hotel bookings has become very popular nowadays and fast becoming the preferred way by those who have easy access with the internet. It's convenient, hassle free, you can compare rates and amenities in just a few clicks of the mouse, and you get to read customer reviews both good and bad.

This is another missed opportunity for Iloilo hoteliers - capturing the online market.

It depends really on the people running the place.
if they operate it "old school" or be in the trend now.
actually being online is more of a neccessity nowadays.

Despite of their several national awards heaped for years, there are still kinks in Sarabia's armor... i think their back portion should be totally renovated, daw indi na up-to-date ang design kag plastaran, imo.

if i were to suggest, if ever they have the money to expand, hopefully make their building 10 stories or even higher high and make the back portion into more convention palces/gardens/restos/amenties/etc.

nan..kay wala ka nagkadto nong..hihihi

Mga turista ginpaagi sa
Calajunan dumpsite

Ni Wenceslao E. Mateo Jr.

Syudad sang ILOILO – Ambot kon sin-o sa Traffic Management & Enforcement Unit (TMEU) ang naghatag rota sa isa ka tourist bus nga mag-agi sa mahigko kag mabaho nga Calajunan dumpsite.

Sang pamangkuton si Konsehal Erwin Plagata, siling niya nga wala sia makahibalo sini.

“Kita mismo personal naga-encourage sang turismo diri sa syudad (Iloilo City),” siling gani niya, “ti ngaa abi tugtan ko sila mag-agi sa sinang mahigko kag mabaho nga lugar diri sa syudad?”

Parti sa iya pagpamalabag kuno sa pagsulod sang mga tourist bus diri, indi ina iya kuno matuod.

“Ang sa akon lang, sundon ta ang kasugoan,” iya paathag, “indi kay magpinagusto lang sila sulod diri sa syudad, kay indi man lang ang ila interes ang aton ginatatap. Ang iban nga nagaagi sa aton dalanon may kinamatarong man.”

Siling niya indi sia sugot nga pagustohan lang ining mga tourist bus sa pagsulod sa syudad, ina tungod may Perimeter Boundary Ordinance ang syudad nga naga-regulate sang trapiko, lakip ang pagsulod kag paggowa sang mga salakyan sa syudad.

“Ang ordinansa nga ini gintukod agod mapatawhay ang trapiko sa syudad, nga sa madogay nangin perhwisyo sa aton mga estudyante kag mga naga-opisina,” paathag pa niya, “kag ang pag-exempt sa mga tourist bus sa pagsulod diri sa kon diin nila luyag magkadto wala sa ordinansa nga ina.”

Gindogang pa niya nga ang yara sa ordinansa amo lang ang paghatag sang mga special permit sa mga may espesyal man nga tinutuyo diri sa syudad, katulad sang mga field trips sang mga estudyante.

“Pwede sila masakop sa sining provision sang ordinansa,” siling ni Plagata, “apang dapat tagaan nila kami sang ila itinerary, nga gina-requirer man namon sa mga field trips sang mga estudyante. Ina tungod mapat-od namon nga indi sila mabodlayan sa pagsulod kag paggowa sa syudad, labi na gid kon sakay sila sa mga malagba nga mga bus.”

“Indi bala para man gani ina sa kaayohan sang mga turista nga dalhon nila diri sa syudad?” tugda pa gani niya, “kay sa amo nga paagi matondaan ang mga traffic aides sa kon diin sila maagi kag maboligan nga indi sila matam-an sa trapiko, kon kinahanglan gid nga mag-agi sila sa sining mga dalanon.”

Kon indi pa gid kuno sugot sini ang mga tourist bus operators kag mga tourist guides, ti i-rekomendar nila kuno sa Konseho nga amendaron ang PBO.

“Indi kay piliton nila nga ma-exempt sa sining ordinansa, nga wala ginatugot sini,” siling pa ni Plagata./H

^^hahaha!:lol:

common sense lang gid ni. why would you make your visitors pass the dumpsite. daw kulang na lang hambalon sang mga iban nga opisyal naton na tourist attraction man ang dumpsite...ay maan dulang ah.

Gloria back in Iloilo today

PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is expected to return to Iloilo City and province today (October 7) to inaugurate a multi-million project in Estancia and attend the formal opening of the Diocesan process of the cause of canonization of Mother Rosario Arroyo de la Visitacion.

At about 9am, the President is expected to join the Liturgical Celebration which will mark the formal Diocesan Process of the Cause of Canonization of Mother Rosario Arroyo at the St. Anne Parish Church in Molo, Iloilo City.

The mass will be officiated by Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, with 5 other bishops.
Mother Rosario Arroyo, it will be recalled, was the Foundress of the Beaterio de Molo and the Dominican Sisters of the Most Holy Rosary of the Philippines. She is a great, great grand aunt of the First Gentleman, Jose Miguel Arroyo.

Later, the President will proceed to the municipality of Estancia, Iloilo. She will lead the groundbreaking and time capsule laying ceremony for the Estancia Water District Improvement Project which is part of her administration’s thrust to provide clean, safe and affordable water.

With a cost of P30 million, the project will upgrade the facilities and expand the capability of the 22-year-old water district to provide potable water to its service area, which presently covers five barangays in the town's poblacion with some 600 connections.

The Estancia Water District Improvement Project is funded by the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA). It includes among others the drilling of additional wells, provision of electro-mechanical and chlorination equipment, installation of new transmission and distribution pipes including valves and hydrants, construction of a new reservoir, provision of power line extension and standby equipment, installation of service connections, and provision of NRW reduction program.

This is the third presidential visit in Iloilo since July, this year. (PIA)

Mike A.’s grandaunt on doorstep to sainthood

ILOILO City – With several miracles attributed to her, an Ilongga nun and relative of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo could be made the country’s next saint.

The canonization process for Mother Rosario Arroyo de la Visitacion, great grandaunt of First Gentleman Mike Arroyo and foundress of the Dominican Sisters of the Most Holy Rosary in the Philippines, will formally start tomorrow, 9 a.m. at the St. Anne Church in Molo district.

Born Maria Beatriz del Rosario Arroyo on February 17, 1884 in Molo, Mother Rosario was a daughter of wealthy couple Ignacio Arroyo and Doña Maria Pidal but at an early age, she chose the austere life of the convent. She died of heart failure on June 14, 1957 and was buried at the Molo cemetery but in 1975, her body was exhumed to be transferred to a crypt at the congregation’s motherhouse on Avanceña St., Molo.

When her coffin was opened, Mother Rosario’s body was still intact. But after people rushed to touch her, it deteriorated.

Mother Arroyo had two brothers. Jose Arroyo became a senator in 1919 while Mariano Arroyo became the governor of Iloilo in 1928. Sen. Arroyo and spouse Jesusa Lacson from Negros Occidental had seven children, one of whom was Ignacio Arroyo (father of the current First Gentleman).

MIRACLES
Recent testimonies of favors granted upon Mother Rosario’s intercession included that of a third year high school student of the Sacred Heart Academy in Zarraga, Iloilo. She was admitted in a hospital for continually vomiting, fever and weakness.

The girl remembered the prayer for Mother Rosario in times of illness. While gasping and weakening, she prayed and recovered even before she took her medications.

Another documented testimony of cure was that of a woman named Prescilla of Tabuc Suba, Jaro district whose daughter Roselyn, an overseas Filipino worker in Cyprus, suffered from intracranial tumor.

Roselyn was hospitalized for three days in Cyprus just this June 2009 before she was sent home.

On July 20, she was admitted at the Intensive Care Unit of the Western Visayas Medical Center. Without financial means, she was operated for free and after a while, her family was told to pray to Mother Rosario. They did just that day and night. After a while, Roselyn fully recovered.
The Mother Rosario Arroyo Commission is spearheading the formal opening of the canonization process.

In his edict, Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo called on anyone who may have useful information regarding the cause for Mother Rosario Arroyo’s canonization to bring such documents, materials or information to his attention.

HOLY LIFE
Mother Rosario made her religious profession at the Congregation of the Dominican Sisters of Sta. Catalina of Siena in Manila.

Later, she founded the Congregation of the Dominican Sisters of the Most Holy Rosary in Molo upon the encouragement and financial assistance of her parents.

She also donated her inheritance to the Congregation and lived a life detached from worldly goods.

During her life, she distinguished herself as an ardent devotee of the Eucharist, the Blessed Sacrament and the Virgin Mary.

Archbishop Lagdameo said the diocesan process of canonization is being initiated after consultations with the Holy See, bishops and the faithful of the archdiocese, and after having verified the existence of the widespread sanctity enjoyed by Mother Rosario Arroyo in life and even after her death.

As a religious, Mother Arroyo set an example of the observance of the vows, and mirrored the virtues of purity and innocence, deep simplicity, profound humility, and ardent love for the poor, the sick and the needy.

To formally start the canonization process today, a Mass will be officiated by Lagdameo, 10 other bishops and about 50 priests, to be followed by the private viewing and blessing of the remains of Mother Rosario at the Dominican Mother House in Molo.

The tribunal for the process of canonization is composed of Lagdameo, Very Rev. Msgr. Higinio Velarde, Rev. Fr. John de Castro, Rev. Fr. Carlo Noquez, Sr. Thaddeus Magtoles, Msgr. Jose Maria Amado Delgado, Rev. Fr. Rey Zerrudo, Rev. Fr. Alejandro Esperancilla, Sister Visitacion Alecto, Atty. Rex Salvilla, and Rev. Fr. Samson Sillorequez. (ESS/PIA/PN)

Tani ang General Luna mamaintain ang kanamion despite of construction of another fly over... I love this street very much... Tani ang diversion road panamion man... Para pareho kanami sang General Luna...

I think they planted fire trees along the center island of Diversion area. I'm not certain they were fire trees since they were only about 3 feet high but they had some flowers that made them look like mini fire trees. Aside from that, they also planted a lot of flowers in the island and on both sides of the street. Actually, I think Diversion road is one of the most improved roads in the city the past few years. I bet it's because the mayor uses the road everyday.

it could be that the awards came much later when the article first came out.
The article is about the awards. Anyway, the writer is from the info office of UPV so they would understandably concentrate only on crediting UPV.

Mga turista ginpaagi sa

....

Kon indi pa gid kuno sugot sini ang mga tourist bus operators kag mga tourist guides, ti i-rekomendar nila kuno sa Konseho nga amendaron ang PBO.

“Indi kay piliton nila nga ma-exempt sa sining ordinansa, nga wala ginatugot sini,” siling pa ni Plagata./H

The problem is with the ordinance which probably does not provide any provision for tourist buses. What Plagata is trying to say is that the PBO should be amended accordingly first before they allow the buses in.

Why does the media treat Councilor Plagata like he from the executive branch of the city government? And why doesn't he initiate the amendment of the PBO since he is the councilor anyway???

Really now? There is a provision for special permits? How come most people are not informed about it? http://statics.plurk.com/35b16fc25623670e41c2be6bf8ac38c7.gif Or better yet, how come tour buses are complaining about it?

And his interpretation of PBO is way narrow and close-minded and he's not open to revisions in the ordinance. How come he doesn't have a solution to the city loop jeepneys which are also giving a headache to the Ilonggo traffic situation in the city?

Hypokrito! He should then know that if the city is promoting tourism, he shouldn't be to tight-fisted and narrow/short-sighted about the PBO.

^^hahaha!:lol:

common sense lang gid ni. why would you make your visitors pass the dumpsite. daw kulang na lang hambalon sang mga iban nga opisyal naton na tourist attraction man ang dumpsite...ay maan dulang ah.

Hay maan! Common sense lang bala...pwera na lang kon ang fieldtrip is about dumpsites and the environment.

One thing about this is that they should've given provisions for tourist buses to pass Molo and diverted to Tabucan and the likes.

You can bend but you cannot break. For Plagata, I think he's just to over confident since I heard that he'll be migrating to the US by the end of his term.

that's why need not to compare because everything in this world is just temporary in nature.the circle of life,the new becomes old then the reborn comes.everything has it's place in this world.only time will tell when time to shine and be outshine.:)

That's not my point. My point is, why boast if it's cyclical and having no choice at all? :lol: I really don't like going on the hype on the accolades because we ourselves know the situation inside.

Titles are just recognitions on what we have did. But those mistakes that we did are the most important things in order to improve ourselves in policy-making and city management. Yeah, we criticize. Yes, we do see the flaws of our government...it's normal and it's good to discuss ideas on how to improve the situation rather than just putting accolades or shunning those away.

For Iloilo, it's good that they're doing a clean and green programme...probably an effect on how to aesthetically be pleasing, but I hope it also starts from the people themselves as well. Probably, Frank taught us a very big lecture.

Iloilo’s bamboo industry growing fast

ILOILO City – The bamboo industry is now one of the fast-growing industries in Iloilo. It is producing products that are very competitive with those produced in China, said Sangguniang Panlalawigan Member Mariano Malones.

Malones owns a factory that produces various bamboo products he supplies to Mang Inasal, an Ilonggo home-grown restaurant specializing in grilled chicken.

He started the Iloilo Kawayan Marketing when he was the municipal mayor of Maasin town in 2005 – the year when the One-Town One-Product (OTOP) program of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) was being aggressively promoted.

Bamboo was identified as the OTOP of Maaasin and was eventually named as the regional OTOP of Western Visayas.

Malones said his factory needs about 5,000 bamboo poles per month for him to cope with the demand.

With the increasing need for bamboo products, Malones encouraged other local government units to also plant bamboos.

According to DTI Iloilo Director Wilhelm Malones, their agency has been into a series of advocacies to introduce the importance of bamboo products.

To date, Iloilo -- with the Iloilo Small Medium Enterprise Development (SMED) Foundation and the Iloilo Bamboo Producers for Development Inc. – is in the forefront of producing bamboo products such as home furnishings, gift and novelty items, and furniture, among others.

Some of these products are making waves not only at the local scene but also in the international market. (PNA)

Iloilo City now Asia-Pacific’s leader of business excellence

The Iloilo City Government led by Mayor Jerry Treñas has been officially inducted to the 2009 Palladium Balanced Scorecard (BSC) Hall of Fame as one of the four leaders of business excellence during the Palladium Group’s Asia-Pacific (APAC) Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia October 5.

Treñas received the city’s global recognition during the Hall of Fame award presentation ceremony in honor for the metropolis’s breakthrough business performance results.

Iloilo City is a major center of arts, culture, and sports making it one of the “Best Place to Live in the Philippines” as identified in a survey by MoneySense Magazine.

Using the BSC to help improve public accountability and promote responsible citizenship and economic and social development, the city partnered since 2005 with the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA), an advocacy organization for good governance.

“Since its adoption, citizen satisfaction has risen 15 percent, manufacturing capitalization has expanded fourfold, and National Achievement Test results in the city’s public schools are up 20 percent,” the Palladium Group said in a statement.

“The BSC has enabled us to clearly communicate strategy and align our workforce through a common language and shared objectives, measures, targets, and initiatives,” Treñas stressed.

“The process has helped make our city vibrant, well-governed, and prosperous, establishing a roadmap for Iloilo to achieve even more as a Premier City by 2015,” said Treñas

Lauded as business leaders along with Iloilo City are Dongwha Enterprises as South Korea’s leading forest products company; Kiwibank, the consumer banking subsidiary of New Zealand Post Group as New Zealand’s fastest-growing financial institution; and Korean Customs Service (KCS) which has more effectively allocate human and financial resources and drive organizational performance.

The Hall of Fame award honors organizations that have achieved business excellence through the use of the BSC, the world’s preeminent performance management system.

The BSC is based on the simple premise that “what gets measured is what gets done.” Created by Palladium Group co-founders Drs. Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton, the BSC is also a performance management philosophy and system that links strategy to operations.

The BSC continues to receive recognition as a strategic management tool that leads to improved shareholder returns. Harvard Business Review ranked the BSC among one of the most important business concepts in decades and Kaplan and Norton among the top management thinkers.

This year, the pair’s seminal The Balanced Scorecard: Translating Strategy into Action (Harvard Business Press, 1996) was cited as one of the 100 best business books of all time in the 2009 book of the same name.

Founded in 2000, the BSC Hall of Fame program has a roster of 128 honorees that span the private and public sectors throughout more than 20 countries, including Hilton Hotels, Infosys Technologies, Motorola, Ricoh Corporation, and the Singapore Ministry of Manpower. Winners are selected based on the quality of their BSC implementation and the results they demonstrate over a period of at least two years. (PIO)

Amo na ang nami sa mga pulitiko ta diri ya sa syudad hehehe




The problem is with the ordinance which probably does not provide any provision for tourist buses. What Plagata is trying to say is that the PBO should be amended accordingly first before they allow the buses in.

Why does the media treat Councilor Plagata like he from the executive branch of the city government? And why doesn't he initiate the amendment of the PBO since he is the councilor anyway???
:bash:

:lol:Haha..Wala ah may namangkot lang sa akon...^^

^^ Marikina River is more tamed than Tigum-Aganan-Jaro River system...but still brought one of the most devastating floods in Philippine history.

The best thing that we can do is to properly plan out the rur-ban zones and nothing beats preparation. :)

Then think about Jaro River without Jaro Floodway. Compared to Marikina River, Jaro doesn't have flood control yet. In regular flooding, Marikina River still has an advantage over Jaro River as of now...

..that is why we are waiting for the completion of the Jaro Floodway and Iloilo Flood Control Project...to at least tame the grand old Jaro-Aganan-Tigum River system.

They said before that the high tide was one of the reasons why the floodwaters stayed for several hours during Frank.

In any ways, I still believe that Marikina River at least has been tamed because of the flood control project like that of Manggahan Floodway. However, Ondoy and Frank were of out of the marks. Even engineers back at Frank said that the Flood control project of Iloilo might not tolerate the humongous volume of flood waters of Frank. So basically, we're left at the mercy of mother nature herself.

Raul Sr. still pushing for redistricting of Iloilo City

By Maricar M. Calubiran

For chief presidential legal counsel Raul Gonzalez Sr. the bid for the approval of the proposed bill reapportioning Iloilo City into two districts has not yet ended. He has written Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and several senators contesting the cold treatment of Senator Benigno “Noynoy Aquino”, chair of the committee on local government, on HB 4256 passed by his son Rep. Raul Gonzalez Jr.

Gonzalez contested the response made by the committee on local government headed by Aquino on the proposed bill authored by Representative Raul Gonzalez Jr. “The committee has approved other redistricting bills such as in Camarines Sur while they have not acted on HB 4256,” Gonzalez Sr. lamented.

Aquino expressed his opposition on the proposed bill citing the city’s lack of population necessary in the creation of another congressional district. Based on the 2007 census of National Statistics Office, Iloilo City has only a population of 418,710. The Local Government Code states that it needs 250,000 population to create another congressional district.

Same letter stating his reaction on the non-approval of HB 4256 were addressed to Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago and Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri. The approval of the redistricting bill on Camarines Sur was made upon the intervention of Senator Joker Arroyo, said Gonzalez.

He lamented that Aquino assured him of his positive response to the proposed bill. “He came to my office for three times and assured the bill would be deliberated on its April 3, 2009 session,” Gonzalez said, adding that they also met at the Senate lounge and talked about the proposed bill.

Gonzalez said Senators Zubiri, Francis Pangilinan and several others gave their assurance to support the proposed redistricting bill once it is up for deliberation and approval. The older Gonzalez is counting on the support of the senators for the approval of the bill.

Further, Gonzalez said Aquino guaranteed that he will give the bill a chance and have it deliberated. He suspects Senator Franklin Drilon twisted Aquino’s decision by not acting on HB 4256.

The non-passage of HB 4256 would create a political rift between the Gonzalez’s and the camp of Mayor Jerry Treñas should the latter decides to run as congressman for Iloilo City against the younger Gonzalez. A group had launched a signature campaign pushing for Treñas’s candidacy as congressman.

Sta. Barbara jeepney drivers oppose Pavia-Iloilo City route

By May Joven-Almacen

Drivers of passenger jeepneys from Sta. Barbara, Iloilo opposed the creation of the Pavia-Iloilo City route as it will affect their income.

Supported by the Pinagkaisang Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (Piston), the group held a transport strike then staged a rally in front of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory (LTFRB) office yesterday. As result many commuters from Sta. Barbara and Pavia towns became stranded at the start of the week.

At present, commuters from Pavia town, 9.7 kilometers from Iloilo City proper, are being served by the Sta. Barbara-Iloilo City jeepneys.

Pavia Councilor Bing Gonzaga in an interview with Aksyon Radyo Iloilo said their town has approved the creation of a transport service for their town considering that their town’s population has already grown.

“I believe we are entitled to have our own transport organization. We cannot just depend on transportation from other towns,” Gonzaga said.

PISTON spokesperson Edgar Salarda said the creation of the Pavia-Iloilo City route will only add to the traffic congestion in Iloilo City. “It will also affect the income of drivers and small operators,” he said.

In a statement sent to media outlets Salarda said that the issuance of franchise by LTFRB of the new route is illegal as there is an existing moratorium on issuance of new franchises.

He called for the suspension of LTFRB regional director Porfirio Clavel for his continued approval of new franchises despite the moratorium.

Salarda also lambasted Iloilo City’s Perimeter Boundary Ordinance (PBO) which he said is the main culprit why transport organizations in the city and province of Iloilo are having problems.

He said PBO did not solve the problem on traffic congestion in the city. “Napamatud-an na nga inutil ang PBO sa pagsolbar sa traffic problem. Nagpamanggad lamang ini sa mga nagakontrol sa mga terminals, nagapigos sa mga drivers kag magagmay nga operators, kag nagapabudlay sa commuters,” reads Salarda’s statement.

Clavel, on the other hand, said he respects the action of the jeepney drivers.

“It is also their constitutional right to express their concern and they made it peacefully for us also to consider,” he said.

Clavel added he will set a dialogue with Sta. Barbara mayor Isabelo Maquino to address the said concerns.

Gonzaga stressed that the Pavia-Iloilo City route they have proposed will not affect the existing Sta. Barbara route as it will take the route going to La Paz plaza. The Sta. Barbara route is until the Tanza area in the city proper.

^^
Ari ho... something to do with PBO man. Maybe its about time Pavia will have its own route. :)

Im in favor for the new Pavia Iloilo City Route, it will us minimize our fare expenses and time travel. It is now the right time that Pavia has its own Jeepney association. Pavia is now on progress. many subdivision is sprouting we need more Jeepneys , Im thanking that Leon Jeepney is passing Gorricita Avenue. Why Sta Barabara opposed the new route, they can ammend their franchise if they want. That is the sign of progress and development for Pavianhon.

Oh yeah, you're right about that. So a lawmaker can be a law enforcer at the same time?

Bati ko ga-baha subong sa Jaro, true? :ohno::ohno::ohno:
Yup, on my way to work, Jaro river was already overflowing. It wasn't raining much in the City but it was in the mountains.

How about the high tide of Iloilo Strait as well? ;)
They said before that the high tide was one of the reasons why the floodwaters stayed for several hours during Frank.

In any ways, I still believe that Marikina River at least has been tamed because of the flood control project like that of Manggahan Floodway. However, Ondoy and Frank were of out of the marks. Even engineers back at Frank said that the Flood control project of Iloilo might not tolerate the humongous volume of flood waters of Frank. So basically, we're left at the mercy of mother nature herself.

The high tide (+storm surge) will slow down the exit of water from Jaro River but at least the sea will not fill up. With the Jaro Floodway, the floodwaters will have a shorter and higher-capacity route directly to the sea.

In the case of the Manggahan Floodway, Laguna Lake can 'fill up'. It is just a temporary storage for the floodwaters while Pasig river slowly drains it to Manila Bay.

On the other hand, Maggahan Floodway is 250m wide and has a flow capacity of 2,400 cubic meters/second while Jaro Floodway is 85 m and discharge capacity of only 850 cubic m/s.

Habagat will bring more rains in the Visayas area!
Be warned of floodings due to increased rainfalls. As seen on satellite images there are more rain clouds coming to WV than the one caused by typhoon Pepeng.

Actually, kung sige obra nila last year sang floodway indi siguro natam-an ang baha. Nag untat sila obra sang floodway diri banda sa area namon, ga wang-wang ang mga kabilya sa suba and wala ma tapos dredge, te ano pa makitid ang daluyan sang tubig. Nag kala-anod pa gani ang iban nga mga kabilya and gin pang scrap sang iban. :ohno: :bash: After a month or two sang natabo si Frank, kas-kas sila liwat obra sang floodway di, ga over time sila dredge and gin re-route pa nila ang agos sang suba para lang matapos. Te kay natapos na nila ang sa may area di namon, this year, so far, wala pa nag awas or nag baha di sa amon. Notorious na di nga da-an nga pirme lang di ga baha sa Banuyao.

Mga turista ginpaagi sa
Calajunan dumpsite

Ni Wenceslao E. Mateo Jr.

Syudad sang ILOILO – Ambot kon sin-o sa Traffic Management & Enforcement Unit (TMEU) ang naghatag rota sa isa ka tourist bus nga mag-agi sa mahigko kag mabaho nga Calajunan dumpsite.

Sang pamangkuton si Konsehal Erwin Plagata, siling niya nga wala sia makahibalo sini.

“Kita mismo personal naga-encourage sang turismo diri sa syudad (Iloilo City),” siling gani niya, “ti ngaa abi tugtan ko sila mag-agi sa sinang mahigko kag mabaho nga lugar diri sa syudad?”

Parti sa iya pagpamalabag kuno sa pagsulod sang mga tourist bus diri, indi ina iya kuno matuod.

“Ang sa akon lang, sundon ta ang kasugoan,” iya paathag, “indi kay magpinagusto lang sila sulod diri sa syudad, kay indi man lang ang ila interes ang aton ginatatap. Ang iban nga nagaagi sa aton dalanon may kinamatarong man.”

Siling niya indi sia sugot nga pagustohan lang ining mga tourist bus sa pagsulod sa syudad, ina tungod may Perimeter Boundary Ordinance ang syudad nga naga-regulate sang trapiko, lakip ang pagsulod kag paggowa sang mga salakyan sa syudad.

“Ang ordinansa nga ini gintukod agod mapatawhay ang trapiko sa syudad, nga sa madogay nangin perhwisyo sa aton mga estudyante kag mga naga-opisina,” paathag pa niya, “kag ang pag-exempt sa mga tourist bus sa pagsulod diri sa kon diin nila luyag magkadto wala sa ordinansa nga ina.”

Gindogang pa niya nga ang yara sa ordinansa amo lang ang paghatag sang mga special permit sa mga may espesyal man nga tinutuyo diri sa syudad, katulad sang mga field trips sang mga estudyante.

“Pwede sila masakop sa sining provision sang ordinansa,” siling ni Plagata, “apang dapat tagaan nila kami sang ila itinerary, nga gina-requirer man namon sa mga field trips sang mga estudyante. Ina tungod mapat-od namon nga indi sila mabodlayan sa pagsulod kag paggowa sa syudad, labi na gid kon sakay sila sa mga malagba nga mga bus.”

“Indi bala para man gani ina sa kaayohan sang mga turista nga dalhon nila diri sa syudad?” tugda pa gani niya, “kay sa amo nga paagi matondaan ang mga traffic aides sa kon diin sila maagi kag maboligan nga indi sila matam-an sa trapiko, kon kinahanglan gid nga mag-agi sila sa sining mga dalanon.”

Kon indi pa gid kuno sugot sini ang mga tourist bus operators kag mga tourist guides, ti i-rekomendar nila kuno sa Konseho nga amendaron ang PBO.

“Indi kay piliton nila nga ma-exempt sa sining ordinansa, nga wala ginatugot sini,” siling pa ni Plagata./H

Think positive Guys!:lol: MAY TURISMO SA BASURA!

personally i dont give a da*mn with this distinction :lol:
there are only 3 highly urbanized cities in WV Iloilo, Bacolod and Roxas.
and this search has been how long? i mean to win and even make it to the hall of fame with only 3 competitors ia just so-so for me :lol:

besides we always walk/drive around the city to see if it's really CLEAN and GREEN.

i remember one time, bombo radio and even print media LAMBASTED a foreigner for saying Iloilo City is very dirty.

just like claire danes said about manila. :lol:

Nong, Roxas is not a highly-urbanized city. Also, when we won the WV clean and green award, we were only up against Bacolod, who for those 3 years that we won, they weren't joining since they were in the hall of fame already. It's like we won because we had no competitors. :lol:

Sakto! Kun sa akon painu-ino, indi dapat ipabugal nga award kay ti, duha man lang ang competitor. Tapos ang isa all of famer pa. Buot silingon, no choice na kay wala na ta kumpetensya. :lol:

Yehey! Clean and Green awardee kami! Kay wala na kami kontra! :rofl:

But in fairness to our city, it really is getting cleaner by the day. :okay:

The boulevard is not pedestrian friendly. If its entire width will be utilized for vehicular traffic, it is not safe for people to tread the road leisurely. :ohno:

The argument that this "road" should not be opened to vehicular traffic (except bikes) is getting stronger. IMO, that should be the case - pedestrian and bicycle traffic only. :)

Actually, kung sige obra nila last year sang floodway indi siguro natam-an ang baha. Nag untat sila obra sang floodway diri banda sa area namon, ga wang-wang ang mga kabilya sa suba and wala ma tapos dredge, te ano pa makitid ang daluyan sang tubig. Nag kala-anod pa gani ang iban nga mga kabilya and gin pang scrap sang iban. :ohno: :bash: After a month or two sang natabo si Frank, kas-kas sila liwat obra sang floodway di, ga over time sila dredge and gin re-route pa nila ang agos sang suba para lang matapos. Te kay natapos na nila ang sa may area di namon, this year, so far, wala pa nag awas or nag baha di sa amon. Notorious na di nga da-an nga pirme lang di ga baha sa Banuyao.

Well, we weren't anticipating Frank right? And the floodway can't be finished within a year time. Let's be realistic when it comes to Philippine construction. You rush it, I don't get some...and collateral damage may happen.

What is unacceptable (and at least the old "king" realized) was blaming the flood control project of causing more harm during Frank.

I thought there is a lane for pedestrian at Iloilo Boulevard... Hope they can do something to make this road attractive to people especially to tourists so that it can generate further income and an added attraction to our city... Kung wala lane for pedestrian daw ka delikado dira maglagaw kay basi ma side sweep ka sang salakyan nga nagahuro huro...

So much for the boulevard...:lol:
The one in Molo-Mandurriao area at least has a pedestrian lane...but this one at La Paz has none...I hope I can ask Sir Butch regarding this one as well. :)

Influx of investments seen By DAVID ISRAEL SINAY

ILOILO City – This city is ready for an influx of investments, declared Mayor Jerry Treñas following the metropolis’ citation as Asia-Pacific’s leader in business excellence.

The mayor was in Jakarta, Indonesia on October 5 to receive the award for Iloilo City during the 2009 Palladium Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame awarding ceremonies.

Back in this city yesterday, Treñas said the citation “proves that Iloilo City is ready to accommodate more investments.”

The city, he said, prides itself of having qualified manpower, a continuing infrastructure development program, and an active public-private partnership.

All these, Treñas said, contribute to Iloilo City’s rapid economic growth.

The city’s induction to the 2009 Palladium BSC Hall of Fame is the first and so far the only award attained by a public or private organization from the Philippines.

Iloilo City is a major center of arts, culture and sports, making it one of the “Best Place(s) to Live in the Philippines” as surveyed by MoneySense Magazine.

Using the BSC to improve public accountability and promote responsible citizenship, economic and social development, Iloilo City partnered since 2005 with the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA), an organization that advocates good governance.

“Since its adoption, citizen satisfaction has risen to 15 percent, manufacturing capitalization has expanded fourfold, and the National Achievement Test results in the city's public schools are up percent 20 percent,” the Palladium Group said of Iloilo City.

“The BSC has enabled us to clearly communicate strategy and align our workforce through a common language and shared objectives, measures, targets, and initiatives,” Treñas said.

“The process has helped make our city vibrant, well-governed and prosperous, establishing a roadmap for Iloilo to achieve even more as a Premier City by 2015,” he added.

Lauded as business leaders along with Iloilo City are Dongwha Enterprises (as South Korea’s leading forest products company); Kiwibank, the consumer banking subsidiary of New Zealand Post Group (as the country’s fastest-growing financial institution); and Korean Customs Service (KCS) which has more effectively allocate human and financial resources and drive organizational performance.

The Hall of Fame award honors organizations that have achieved business excellence through the use of the BSC, the world’s preeminent performance management system.

BSC is based on the simple premise that “what gets measured is what gets done.”

Created by Palladium Group co-founders Drs. Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton, the BSC is also a performance management philosophy and system that links strategy to operations.
BSC continues to receive recognition as a strategic management tool that leads to improved shareholder returns.

Harvard Business Review ranked the BSC as among the most important business concepts in decades, and Kaplan and Norton as among the top management thinkers.

Founded in 2000, the BSC Hall of Fame program has a roster of 128 honorees that span the private and public sectors throughout more than 20 countries, including Hilton Hotels, Infosys Technologies, Motorola, Ricoh Corp., and the Singapore Ministry of Manpower.

Winners are selected based on the quality of their BSC implementation and the results they demonstrate over a period of at least two years.

The Palladium Group, Inc. is the global leader in helping organizations execute their strategies by making better decisions. (PIO/PN)

Ilonggos launch cause for sainthood of Filipino nun


By Nestor P. Burgos Jr.
Inquirer Visayas
First Posted 19:46:00 10/07/2009

Filed Under: Religions, Churches (organisations)


ILOILO CITY, Iloilo – Fireworks exploded and church bells rang as around 2,500 Ilonggos on Wednesday welcomed the first step in the long and tedious process for the canonization of Mother Rosario Arroyo, whom they hoped would be the country's first woman and Ilonggo saint.

The faithful, along with members of religious organizations, flocked to the St. Anne Church in Molo District, Iloilo City, to attend the formal opening of the diocesan process for the canonization of Mother Rosario Arroyo de la Visitacion.

The church is also called the "Church of Women Saints" because only the images of women saints are displayed along the aisle.

Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, officiated the Mass along with five other bishops. They were joined by around 60 priests.

The Mass was also attended by hundreds of members of the Congregation of the Dominican Sisters of the Most Holy Rosary in the Philippines, which Mother Rosario founded as a Filipino congregation on Feb. 18, 1927.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and First Gentleman Jose Miguel "Mike" Arroyo attended the two-hour ceremony and Mass before paying their respects at Mother Rosario's mausoleum inside the Dominican Mother House, also in Molo District.

The First Gentleman's siblings, Negros Occidental Representative Ignacio Arroyo and Kasangga Partylist Representative Ma. Lourdes Arroyo, and their relatives also attended the ceremony.

Mother Rosario is the grandaunt of the First Gentleman. She was the only daughter of Ignacio Arroyo and Maria Pidal and the sister of Mariano and the First Gentleman's grandfather, Senator Jose Ma. Arroyo.

The Arroyos, who were originally from Iloilo before they migrated to Negros Occidental along with other landed clans, welcomed the start of the diocesan investigation.

"We are very proud and very honored that our grand aunt will hopefully be a saint one day. We asked the people to pray to her especially those who are sick," the First Gentleman said in an interview.

He said his memories of his "Nanay Sayong" were of an elderly woman who always held a rosary and told them to pray always.

His younger brother Representative Ignacio "Iggy" Arroyo said the process was long overdue. "I hope that this will succeed so that Iloilo will have a saint," he said.

"We have been always praying for this but this is the work of the [Dominican] sisters," said Representative Ma. Lourdes "Marilou" Arroyo.

In an edict issued on July 28, 2009, Lagdameo authorized the start of the process for her canonization, which was formally petitioned by the Postulator, Father Samson Silloriquez.

According to Church customs and procedures, the opening of the canonization process paves the way for the conduct of an investigation into the life and virtues of Mother Rosario. The investigation also seeks to establish that religious miracles have occurred through her intercession.

An 11-member tribunal will gather evidence and hear testimonies during the investigation. If there are enough bases to recommend the canonization of Mother Rosario, a report will be transmitted to the Vatican’s Congregation for the Causes of Saints, which oversees the canonization of saints.

The members of the tribunal include Lagdameo as judge; Monsignor Higinio Velarde (judge delegate); Fr. John de Castro (promoter of justice); Fr. Carlo Noquez (notary); Sister Thaddesus Magtoles (actual notary); Msgr. Jose Maria Amado Delgado, Fr. Rey Zerrudo (theological commission); Fr. Alejandro Esperancilla, Sr. Visitacion Alecto and lawyer Rex Salvilla (historical commission); and Fr. Samson Silloriquez (postulator).

Lagdameo issued an edict last July 28, describing Mother Rosario as "an example of the observance of the vows, the Holy Rule and community life."

"Her life clearly mirrored the virtues of purity and innocence, deep simplicity and profound humility, ardent love for the poor, the sick and the needy," he said.

"During her life, she distinguished herself in her devotion to the Eucharist, the Blessed Sacrament and the Virgin Mary. She donated her family inheritance to the Congregation and lived a life detached from material and worldly goods."

Huo man. If I had my way, I would have called it the "Iloilo River Bicycle Lane." :rofl:

Most boulevards I've seen are tree-lined and wide with center islands. But let's hope that the city government had looked far ahead planning to have this route transformed into a real boulevard. This route has a great potential to decongest the city proper.

Raul Sr. still pushing for redistricting of Iloilo City

By Maricar M. Calubiran

For chief presidential legal counsel Raul Gonzalez Sr. the bid for the approval of the proposed bill reapportioning Iloilo City into two districts has not yet ended. He has written Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and several senators contesting the cold treatment of Senator Benigno “Noynoy Aquino”, chair of the committee on local government, on HB 4256 passed by his son Rep. Raul Gonzalez Jr.

Gonzalez contested the response made by the committee on local government headed by Aquino on the proposed bill authored by Representative Raul Gonzalez Jr. “The committee has approved other redistricting bills such as in Camarines Sur while they have not acted on HB 4256,” Gonzalez Sr. lamented.

Aquino expressed his opposition on the proposed bill citing the city’s lack of population necessary in the creation of another congressional district. Based on the 2007 census of National Statistics Office, Iloilo City has only a population of 418,710. The Local Government Code states that it needs 250,000 population to create another congressional district.

Same letter stating his reaction on the non-approval of HB 4256 were addressed to Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago and Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri. The approval of the redistricting bill on Camarines Sur was made upon the intervention of Senator Joker Arroyo, said Gonzalez.

He lamented that Aquino assured him of his positive response to the proposed bill. “He came to my office for three times and assured the bill would be deliberated on its April 3, 2009 session,” Gonzalez said, adding that they also met at the Senate lounge and talked about the proposed bill.

Gonzalez said Senators Zubiri, Francis Pangilinan and several others gave their assurance to support the proposed redistricting bill once it is up for deliberation and approval. The older Gonzalez is counting on the support of the senators for the approval of the bill.

Further, Gonzalez said Aquino guaranteed that he will give the bill a chance and have it deliberated. He suspects Senator Franklin Drilon twisted Aquino’s decision by not acting on HB 4256.

The non-passage of HB 4256 would create a political rift between the Gonzalez’s and the camp of Mayor Jerry Treñas should the latter decides to run as congressman for Iloilo City against the younger Gonzalez. A group had launched a signature campaign pushing for Treñas’s candidacy as congressman.

My wife called me up last night, may ara sya bisita nga halin sa Manila nagmeet kay Mayor JPT if they can put up an internet gaming sa city, the mayor beg-off. Actually twice na sila nagkadto kay mayor about the proposal pero wala gid nagpadala si JPT sa ila. They are going to put up the internet gaming instead sa Sta. Barbara Golf and Country Club.
Grabe gid kaestriko ang siudad when it comes sa mga sugal pero grabe man pustaanay sa bulang sa Jaro.

Nong, Roxas is not a highly-urbanized city. Also, when we won the WV clean and green award, we were only up against Bacolod, who for those 3 years that we won, they weren't joining since they were in the hall of fame already. It's like we won because we had no competitors. :lol:
