Dumduman ko pa sang una nga gin dul-ong ni sa office ang petition letter para pirmahan ni bossing.

In conclusion, they urged the mayor "to take swift, immediate and decisive action to remove and demolish all illegal structures already constructed and/or stop those still being constructed along that strip of Benigno Aquino Avenue from the Diversion Bridge up to the corner of Q. Abeto/El 98 Streets.

Signing this letter were Luis Miguel Cacho, Vice President-Administration, Panay Electric Company; Bernan Certeza, President, Certeza Realty; Emme Lim, Iloilo Central Lumber; Fanny L. Uy, President, Iloilo Multi-Sectoral Bus. Org.; Ma. Teresa L. Chan, A. Chan Realty and Dev't Inc.;

Garcia Jr., St. Joseph Grade School; Sonny Du, Greenfield Rice Trader; Samuel Wong, Jourdine Novelty; Francis Wong, Proprietor, Slim & Tall; Tomas Cheng Chua, ISC Sales Center;

Oscar Te, Uni-Art Supply; Romeo Go, Sam's Shoe Emporium; Rogelio Florete, Florete Trading; Elsan's Trading; Iloilo Supermart; Cabalum Western College; and Antonio Jon, J.T.S; and Uy Marketing.

Bautista received his career break when he was a Grand finalist on Philippine reality TV talent search Star for a Night and eventually placed second behind Sarah Geronimo.

Western Visayas to attain 100% electrification this year, says DOE

With only three barangays left, Western Visayas will attain 100% electrification this year.

This was disclosed by Engr. Rey Maleza of the Department of Energy-Visayas during the PIA-Cable Television program, recently.

Maleza said that the three barangays are located in the province of Aklan, and stressed that they will be doing their best to bring the benefit of electricity to the said barangays within this year.

He said the provinces of Antique, Capiz, Guimaras, Iloilo and Negros Occidental are 100% energized.

Rural electrification is one of the priority concerns of the Arroyo administration as stipulated in the 10-point agenda of the President Arroyo.

The Government strongly believes that provision of electric services will yield more opportunities for improved quality of life, greater access to basic services and better infrastructure for rural development. Rural electrification therefore, is greatly directed towards socio-economic growth of the marginalized sectors, the fisher folks and farmers living in remote, far-flung, and un-electrified barangays of the country.

Maleza said during the PIA-CATV program that barangay electrification level in the country is now recorded at 99.47%.

Per the DOE record Luzon has attained 99.49% electrification; Visayas 99.66% and Mindanao-98.95%. The country has only 215 remaining unenergized Barangays.

The DOE said that one of the development challenges in the rural electrification program is “constraints in reaching out “last-mile” barangays as well as operational and procedural delays that affect project completion.

The DOE also said that they will implement innovative service delivery mechanisms to increase household connections.

About 90 percent household electrification is targeted in the entire country by 2017. (PIA6/T.Villavert)

CNG-fueled buses seen to operate in the Visayas by 2015

Buses fueled by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is expected to operate in the Visayas by 2015 bolstering the government’s effort to attain energy sufficiency and independence from imported fuel.

This was disclosed by Assisstant Director Carmencita A. Bariso of the Department of Energy during a forum in the recently conducted Philippine Energy Plan held in Iloilo City.

Bariso said that the government has made a significant strides on alternative energy for transport, stressing some 34 buses are currently running on CNG from Southern Tagalog to Manila routes, and under the pilot phase of the Natural Gas Vehicle Program for Public Transport (NGVT), the target is to have 200 buses commercially operating by 2010.

The NGVT is envisioned to enhance the energy supply security in the transport sector through fuel diversification using indigenous natural gas.

Natural gas is a clean burning alternative fuel for vehicle which has the potential to produce substantially lower pollutant emissions and can provide a solution to the pressing environmental problems in urban areas.

For the Visayas region, around 178 buses are expected to be CNG-fueled by 2015 and 1,314 buses in year 2030, Bariso said.

Basing on JICA study on Capability Enhancement on Policy and Planning for a More Effective and Comprehensive Philippine Energy Plan Formulation, Bariso said that it is projected that 10,000 buses in Luzon, Visayas and Mindano will be fueled with Compressed Natural Gas.

Meanwhile, Implementing the Natural gas vehicle Program for Public Transport is provided for under Executive Order 290.

As stipulated in the said EO, the Malampaya Gas-to-Power Project represents the beginning of the natural gas industry in the Philippines with three gas-fired power plants with a total installed capacity of 2,760 MW as initial customers.

The launching on October 16, 2002 of the Natural Gas Vehicle Program for Public Transport saw the unveiling of a portfolio on incentives to encourage active participation of the private sector to provide the necessary support, logistics and infrastructure, the EO 290 said. (PIA6/T.Villavert)

Clark firm seeks Iloilo dump site contract

ILOILO CITY -- A company based at the Clark free port in Pampanga has proposed to manage the Calajunan dump site in the city’s Mandurriao district.

Ronald Shane W. Flynn, chief executive officer and founder of True Green Energy Group Corp., made the proposal in a letter to Iloilo City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas.

Mr. Flynn said his firm was willing to “share technology, finance and construct, operate and maintain any facility that will be put up in the existing dump site or in any other site.”

The city government, on the other hand, will provide the project site, supply of solid wastes, right of way, and assistance to True Green Energy in securing government permits.

Under the proposed joint venture, True Green Energy and the city government will share profit based on their respective contributions.

Mr. Flynn said the offer was in line with Republic Act No. 9729 or the Climate Change Act of 2009 which tasks local government units as “frontline agencies in the formulation, planning and implementation of climate change action plans in their respective areas.”

The city government is working on the conversion of the dump site into a landfill in keeping with Republic Act No. 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.

It had borrowed P90 million from the Development Bank of the Philippines for initial work.

Boats OK’d to sail under storm signal 1

ILOILO CITY (PNA) — A new memorandum circular allowing small boats to sail short distances in particular areas in Western Visayas during fair weather despite the presence of a storm has been approved by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).

Memorandum Circular No. 02-10, otherwise known as “Interim Guidelines on Movement of Vessels and Motorboats Engaged in Short Distance Voyages in Special Areas,” amended Memorandum Circular No. 01-09 which strictly prohibits small vessels and motorboats from sailing in special areas during fair weather if these areas are declared under public storm warning signal No. 1 by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

The special areas referred to in the memorandum circular are Iloilo Strait between Iloilo City and Guimaras and Tanon Strait between Boracay Island and Caticlan in Malay, Aklan.

These areas are considered as such because they are located within bays and rivers or enclosed by natural coves or sheltered zones whose natural topographical characteristics make the sea area less vulnerable to adverse effects of the prevailing weather condition.

Short distance voyages refer to those involving a distance not exceeding four kilometers (2.16 nautical miles), can be completed within a maximum of 30 minutes, and whose point of origin, route and point of destination are within a line of sight.

PCG Deputy Commander for Western Visayas and Iloilo Coast Guard Station Commander Capt. Eduardo Fabricante said the new memorandum, which was signed by PCG Commandant Admiral Wilfredo Tamayo, is set to take effect this month.

It will be recalled that the PCG recommended for the amendment to the previous memo circular after debates and questions arose over the prohibition.

Fabricante said a series of public consultations has been conducted with boat operators and other stakeholders in Iloilo City and Boracay in November last year to gather inputs for the new memo circular.

However, the new set of guidelines provides that vessels and motorboats may sail under said situation when all the following conditions are strictly satisfied, that is, voyage shall only be from sunrise to sunset; sea condition is not rough; prevailing wind speed in the area is not more than 30 kph or 16 knots; rain showers in the point of origin, route or destination is light; there is good visibility or the route and destination is seen by the naked eye from point of origin; number of passengers does not exceed 75 percent of authorized capacity of vessel; passengers and crew of boats with open decks shall wear lifejackets prior to departure; masters and boat captains shall ensure observance of maximum precautionary measures; presence of designated look-out and standby emergency boat at origin and/or destination in case assistance will be needed; and, there shall be credible communication link between vessels and motorboats and designated standby emergency boat and the PCG.

The PCG is now a full-pledged bureau under program and policy coordination with the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) as an attached agency and can exercise functions to promote and ensure the safety of life and property at sea by virtue of Republic Act No. 9993 signed by President Arroyo last February 12, 2010.

The new mandate provides the PCG with a higher degree of autonomy with which to manage its personnel, resources and activities.

The PCG used to be an arm of the Philippine Navy and later was placed under the Office of the President.

Iloilo’s beautiful beaches and more ecotourism sites

LAST week, we wrote that our tourism thrust must be reviewed. We have too many pestibals, err...we mean festivals, that we forgot to showcase the history and nature’s abundant gifts to us in Western Visayas, more particularly in Iloilo where we have beautiful beaches and many ecotourism products to be discovered. This was mentioned no less than by Tourism Secretary Ace Durano in his speech at a recent media gathering in Malacañang.

We remember witnessing a Parade of Festivals in 2006 as part of the Iloilo Tourism Week. We had a house guest from Davao and we thought we will entertain him to witness the great festival extravaganza, and so we managed to get a couple of seats for us at the Freedom Grandstand for the festival parade. He was just too courteous but we think we bored him of the all-morning show of festivals and festival parade up to the hungry hours past noon!

At that time, we learned that about 100 festivals are celebrated in Western Visayas every year, including the controversial Aswang Festival of Capiz. It seems to be the trend of our tourism in this part of the country that now, even barangays have created “tribes” of their own to showcase a local custom or product. Now, we should know, with no less than our Secretary of Tourism telling us that we re-direct our tourist efforts to the natural assets and ecotourism attractions that we have in abundance in the region.

As early as October of 2006, we wrote of ecotourism which was quickly becoming one of the most popular forms of vacationing in many parts of the world. “Ecotourism” was a term coined by one Hector Seballos-Lascurain in 1983. It was initially used to describe nature-based travel to relatively undisturbed areas with emphasis on education.

The concept has, however, developed into a scientifically-based approach to planning, management and development of sustainable tourism products and services.

Ecotourism in the Philippines had its roots in 1998 when the government adopted the 20-year Tourism Master Plan developed by the Department of Tourism, the United Nations (UN) Development Program and World Trade Organization (WTO). That was 12 years ago, but our development in Western Visayas as a tourist region appears to be more of festivals and festivals, with many places creating a “tribe” to dance on the streets during fiestas and other celebrations, without missing to choose or elect a “muse” or “queen” to preside over the festivities.

We would like to add the observation that our tourism thrust has become very elitist, with many of our people unable to participate, except as onlookers. There is also not much of ecotourism which is the world trend nowadays.

Maybe, with the extremely hot summer, now is the opportunity for us to discover Iloilo’s beautiful beaches and more of our ecotourism sites. (For comments or reactions, please e-mail to jnoveraco@yahoo.com)/PN
http://www.panaynewsphilippines.com/column1.htm

^^ I guess we have reached the saturation point, where festivals have got saturated. Its like a case of inflation in economics where the festival's value has declined due to increasing supply yet same constant demand. I agree with Secretary Durano that the LGUs and the national government should also focus on creating destinations by exploiting (not in a negative sense) available resources. What is it in Europe or even Vigan why tourists keep flocking?

In the case of Iloilo City itself, its size and lack of natural resources are not valid reasons for inaction. Instead, capitalise on what we have...churches and heritage sites. Add to that would be culinaria and Iloilo River. Kadamu sang options, na-overlook ta ang mga potensyal nga mga ini.

^^yup there should be balance of everything. too much festivals is really not that good; and like i said foreigners go here for the sites specifically beaches and nature related activities. They usually come here to relax and unwind and not be trapped in a sea of people during a festival. They would rather enjoy snorkeling or mountain-climbing instead.

I wonder why our provincial officials haven't realised that? Oh, its "Election Season." :lol:

^^even without elections, they don't realize the other potentials of our province. I laud Camsur for that and their LGU.

Yeah...that I want to ask from either Defensor and Tupas if ever there would be a gubernatorial debates to be held. The city can stand on its own, but the support for tourism infrastructure is lame coming from provincial public officials.

Anyway, got an e-mail from Sir Ben regarding the visit of AH and his reflection on Iloilo as a non-tourist destination.


Benito Jimena <benitojimena@yahoo.com>

They are planning to construct a 4 star hotel and they are checking out the hotel market in Iloilo City. He asked about the MICE events and I told him a need for facilities which could accommodate big participation of 3000 pax or more.

Iloilo City was never in the top list of tourist destinations in the country. We do not have natural attractions in the city and heritage is not a popular tourist attraction. That is why we are working out to make iloilo city a convention center since its our only distinct advantage. We could be a gateway for other tourist destinations in northern iloilo and southern iloilo and guimaras. But there is need for all-out publicity and promotion for these places. Our Dinagyang is just a seasonal event which could not sustain arrivals for the whole year . We have now an annual calendar of events to address this concern.

YOUR SUPPORT to promote iloilo city is much appreciated. thank you.

^^hotel? hmmmm....kelan naman kaya yan.
A convention center is really needed. I would agree about how great the potential is in terms of tourism in MIGEDC area, Guimmaras and Northern Iloilo holds great promise,.

I wonder why our provincial officials haven't realised that? Oh, its "Election Season." :lol:

coz they're old and would rather focus on passive activities. :lol: ;)

Ayala Land Businesscapes expands BPO footprint to Iloilo
(The Philippine Star) Updated March 08, 2010 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Ayala Land, Inc. has signed a 35-year lease agreement with the Pison Group for the development of a two-hectare property located at Riverside Boardwalk in Smallville, Barangay San Rafael, Mandurriao, Iloilo City.

The entire project once completed will consist of three business process outsourcing (BPO) facilities with a total of 19,000 square meters of gross leasable area (GLA). The initial phase will involve the construction of the first building with approximately 9,500 square meters of GLA. Construction is scheduled to start by the second quarter of this year and expected completion is by the first quarter of 2011.

Iloilo City is identified by the Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) as one of the Next Wave Cities (NWC) for BPO firms. It has an attractive power, telecommunications, commercial, sea and airport infrastructure and offers one of the lowest rental, power and average base pay rates in the country.

Ayala Land, through its office real estate solutions group, Ayala Land Businesscapes, will develop the biggest BPO facility in Iloilo to date. This move is consistent with the company’s goal of expanding into, developing and redeveloping in strategic areas within attractive growth centers across the country. The project is also expected to generate about 8,000 jobs for the local community.

Ayala Land Businesscapes is at the forefront of providing a complete line of office real estate solutions in the most strategic sites that are developed according to world-class standards and complemented by preferred amenities and the most reliable facilities management services.

^^is this different from the one sa likod sg Quiapo Church then pagliko mo Raon Shopping Complex na or bag-o gid ini ya nga branch?

^^
Yup it is different! Ari ya sa likod mismo sang Raon. Pag lakat mo da sa ila kalye pakadto Quiapo ara naman isa ka Mang Inasal tapos makita mo man da ang F&C Tower as posted by Oboi. Ang set-up sang MI di sa MM daw pareho lang sa Iloilo. :D

Blitzkrieg invasion gid tood :okay:
:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

no need to be surprised there. diri gani sa iloilo wala gani one block ang distance sang iban nga branches. ..... mga 1 MINUTE WALK :lol:

There is a reason to be surprised, because these are OUTSIDE the home turf.... meaning the acceptance of MI has gone a LONG WAY. Daw pareho na siya sang Jollibee /Chowking/Mcdo ang iya level. The acceptance reached the level nga daw ara lang ang MI sa Iloilo. :D
:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

Case in point:
I was in SM Molino yesterday and REALLY the crowd is overwhelming, puno ang tables, laba ang PILA, ang iban gapacancel when they will be informed of 25 mins waiting. Ang iban gakadto na lang sa Chowking/Jolibee or Goldilocks. Well, deretso man kami gyapon order, pero within 10-15 minutes sang nagpungko kami sa table na deliver man (siguro ang 25 mins for maximum kag safety na nila)

Will post pics later. :D

Thank you for the pics, Oboi. Manami gali ang St Therese sa LaPaz. Dako man gali ang ila campus nila. :banana::banana::banana::banana:

Di ba ang St Therese daw may ara pa gid ni sya Campus sa Molo near JohnB?
Dako sang ila campus sa Lapaz and it looks stunning sa photo! :D
hehehe sila gid na main competitor sang JohnB. :D

^^JPT will leave it to the next mayor to decide about this.

^^
Which is a good move. :okay:

Yeah...that I want to ask from either Defensor and Tupas if ever there would be a gubernatorial debates to be held. The city can stand on its own, but the support for tourism infrastructure is lame coming from provincial public officials.

Hmm planning a 4 star Hotel? Now this should keep me awake! Please do give us a heads up kung may green light na ini. Deym! :D

Ayala Projects in ILOILO: (confirmed)

Well, daw mayo gid ni haw? Ayala in all angles! :D
*wish* *wish*
Somebody please wake me up! :lol:

Which is a good move. :okay:


^^its just disappointing sometimes that important decisions are held up because of election hoopla.

na kita ko na sang ga sakay kosa MRT,kibot ko gani kay dako2 tarpulin nila...:cheers:

Sige...malabayan ko gid na! :D
Salamat!

now CRAVE is expanding as well dri mismo sa MM. :D

^^its just disappointing sometimes that important decisions are held up because of election hoopla.

^^
Well, welcome to Philippines Politics.

And also mas mayo kung new Mayor ang mag-decide to study the proposal better. Election fever na daan.

what is JPT's achievements really?

what is JPT's achievements really?

^^
Iloilo City became profitable again. Remember the budget deficit prior to JPT becoming the Mayor? Now even the city has surplus in Budget.

I would say sound fiscal & financial management. :okay:
If others have different POVs, please post it here.

I just noticed that SSC Pilipinas communities exhibits its political colour as election nears by. Everyone has its own bets, both national and local. Its really hard to be apolitical at these times, most especially because the talks about here involved the state management and private sector investment. The socio-economic environment of a locale really comes from on how the state manages its people. This is good since we are very much aware of our rights as a citizen, and to exhibit concerns about the upcoming candidates.

The decision is really up to us. Since we're living in a "democratic" (take note of the quotes) republic, we are free to choose who will lead the locale and the country realise its full potential.

UPDATE:

I have a friend who is close with the owner of Shoe Castle in Marymart and they were told that they only have less than two years for the " contract stuff " and they won't be able to renew it anymore. SM will be leasing the whole Marymart and all its tenants will be gone except those who will be able to pass SM's "classification thingy" . I don't know how long the lease will be or when the renovations will start. But I guess its for sure na. Marymart will be gone soon.

JPT's performance for me is passable. We made great gains during his stint. sometimes though i just feel that he has sat on some projects and issues. but,i won't expound on it anymore, im just happy that somehow,the city has flourished again.

This is the last page of the thread 85 and few more posts maclose na ang thread.

Sa sunod nga thread hope that nga ma-include ang poll for the grand meeting sang Iloilo - SSCers.

Thread 86 will have more surprises. :)

Awaiting the HH confirmation. :D

Expect more photos!

Speaking of JPT....

Bomb thrown at bakeshop owned by Iloilo politico

INQUIRER.net

MANILA, Philippines—Unidentified suspects lobbed an explosive at the bakeshop owned by incumbent Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas before dawn Monday, injuring a security guard, the city police chief said.

In a phone interview, Senior Superintendent Melvin Moncal said the incident occurred at around 2:30 a.m. outside Carlos Bakeshop at Barangay (village) Dungon. The bakeshop is owned by Treñas, who is running for a congressional seat in the May elections.

The explosion occurred at the parking lot of the bakeshop and the incident left security guard Marlo Ganancial with minor injuries, Moncal said.

The explosion “totally damaged” the main door of the bakeshop, he added.

Post-blast investigators are still determining the type of explosive used in the incident.

Moncal said police investigators have yet to determine the motive in the incident.

Kung i-lease sang SM ang Mary Mart dala pati ang IS?

Laban-laban total demolition gid ang mary mart kag patindugan sang SM sang bag-o nga building.

^^hay,sin-o naman ina ang nagobra? we can only speculate.

kamo lang obra sang new thread with poll ah, basi unahan naman kamo ni Hakz, lol

RURAL UPDATE
BY JOHNNY NOVERA
Iloilo’s beautiful beaches and more ecotourism sites

LAST week, we wrote that our tourism thrust must be reviewed. We have too many pestibals, err...we mean festivals, that we forgot to showcase the history and nature’s abundant gifts to us in Western Visayas, more particularly in Iloilo where we have beautiful beaches and many ecotourism products to be discovered. This was mentioned no less than by Tourism Secretary Ace Durano in his speech at a recent media gathering in Malacañang.

We remember witnessing a Parade of Festivals in 2006 as part of the Iloilo Tourism Week. We had a house guest from Davao and we thought we will entertain him to witness the great festival extravaganza, and so we managed to get a couple of seats for us at the Freedom Grandstand for the festival parade. He was just too courteous but we think we bored him of the all-morning show of festivals and festival parade up to the hungry hours past noon!

At that time, we learned that about 100 festivals are celebrated in Western Visayas every year, including the controversial Aswang Festival of Capiz. It seems to be the trend of our tourism in this part of the country that now, even barangays have created “tribes” of their own to showcase a local custom or product. Now, we should know, with no less than our Secretary of Tourism telling us that we re-direct our tourist efforts to the natural assets and ecotourism attractions that we have in abundance in the region.

As early as October of 2006, we wrote of ecotourism which was quickly becoming one of the most popular forms of vacationing in many parts of the world. “Ecotourism” was a term coined by one Hector Seballos-Lascurain in 1983. It was initially used to describe nature-based travel to relatively undisturbed areas with emphasis on education.

The concept has, however, developed into a scientifically-based approach to planning, management and development of sustainable tourism products and services.

Ecotourism in the Philippines had its roots in 1998 when the government adopted the 20-year Tourism Master Plan developed by the Department of Tourism, the United Nations (UN) Development Program and World Trade Organization (WTO). That was 12 years ago, but our development in Western Visayas as a tourist region appears to be more of festivals and festivals, with many places creating a “tribe” to dance on the streets during fiestas and other celebrations, without missing to choose or elect a “muse” or “queen” to preside over the festivities.

We would like to add the observation that our tourism thrust has become very elitist, with many of our people unable to participate, except as onlookers. There is also not much of ecotourism which is the world trend nowadays.

Maybe, with the extremely hot summer, now is the opportunity for us to discover Iloilo’s beautiful beaches and more of our ecotourism sites. (For comments or reactions, please e-mail to jnoveraco@yahoo.com)/PN

I see this as both GOOD and BAD!

If you ask my opinion on this, I would love MMM to continue to flourish for VARIETY. Sure its not great or high end for some but Variety for me is something.

I mean I love the stores of MMM its the ILOILO I grew up with. I have friends who are tenants there since MMM started. They may have little boutiques but I patronize the stuff they sell. I wonder what would happen to them?

Sure, basi marelocate ang iban sa Atrium (Amigo is out of the picture, Gaisano City maybe?) but imagining the MMM as SM for that matter. I dunno. I have mixed reaction about this ATM. I mean MMM is my link to my highschool days. Geez I sound old already. Guess, I am to sentimental to let go of the place. Dira ako sang una namuti sang first time ko nakatilaw rambol (kasagsagan sang Frat Wars sang una ah, basi may nakadumdum AKRHO-MAGIC 7 or MAGIC 14, SRB days?) :lol:

On the good side, that would be a QUANTUM leap in terms of improvement.
Just IMAGINE what SM CITY Delgado will look like in shall we say 2-5 years?

From SEBA-to MAIN MALL -MMM! Its a linear-strip mall with all that jazz!
Will I be happy? Maybe kung SEBA lang? But converting MMM mall into SM?

I have my reservations on that. :ohno:
Remember... MAKRO will be a HYPERMARKET soon. :okay:

Will nami tani kung magBUKAS ang Gaisano-Ayala sa Diversion or a new Mall will open. :)

All SM and no other competition will be bad as well. I am seeing monopoly rearing its ugly head. :ohno:

Maybe its just me. Or the weather is hot?:lol::nuts::bash:

In any case GustoKiddo thanks for the HH. :okay:

I liked the idea of SM taking over MaryMart but I'm saddened that MaryMart will no longer exist soon. With SM taking over MaryMart, it means SM will run almost half of Iloilo's retail industry. Having 2 big SM Malls in the city (with Delgado planning to become bigger -twice or thrice - in size once they push thru on the acquisition of MaryMart and an SM City ILOILO in Mandurraio also gearing big for future expansion) plus 2 more supermarkets and an upcoming Hypermarket (to replace Makro), I believe SM could never be challenged anymore in Iloilo unless bigger multinational companies are going to invest in retail industry in our city. With this impending plan, Iloilo City will soon be an SM's haven.

Yup, mixed emotion gid ako diri. Siguro decision ni Jamora pandugang FUND ya padalagan Mayor. Pwede man sya bala ka VM for the meantime. So kung ipa-lease ya gid man... ngala man ko migo ko may boutique da mas gusto si Mabilog. :D

Kung i-lease sang SM ang Mary Mart dala pati ang IS?

And please do not forget to Vote sa Poll about the GRAND EB! Mga kasimanwa dugay na ta di! Its time na we all see each other eye to eye! We can make a big difference and maybe formulate ways to help our Iloilo City and Province in our unique ways.

*borrowed links from Impresario for the banners to add color to the opening.

Yeah...that I want to ask from either Defensor and Tupas if ever there would be a gubernatorial debates to be held. The city can stand on its own, but the support for tourism infrastructure is lame coming from provincial public officials.

Anyway, got an e-mail from Sir Ben regarding the visit of AH and his reflection on Iloilo as a non-tourist destination.

Like? Pahuway sa uma matag-domingo? Hehehehe!!! :lol:
The province of Iloilo remains relatively old school. It would be hard to push for tourism development if the top man in the capitol has no vision for tourism industry improvement. Maybe it's high time to inject some new blood in our provincial government.

I just created a new thread... bring it on the other side!

:lock:

UPDATE:

I have a friend who is close with the owner of Shoe Castle in Marymart and they were told that they only have less than two years for the " contract stuff " and they won't be able to renew it anymore. SM will be leasing the whole Marymart and all its tenants will be gone except those who will be able to pass SM's "classification thingy" . I don't know how long the lease will be or when the renovations will start. But I guess its for sure na. Marymart will be gone soon.

I liked the idea of SM taking over MaryMart but I'm saddened that MaryMart will no longer exist soon. With SM taking over MaryMart, it means SM will run almost half of Iloilo's retail industry. Having 2 big SM Malls in the city (with Delgado planning to become bigger -twice or thrice - in size once they push thru on the acquisition of MaryMart and an SM City ILOILO in Mandurraio also gearing big for future expansion) plus 2 more supermarkets and an upcoming Hypermarket (to replace Makro), I believe SM could never be challenged anymore in Iloilo unless bigger multinational companies are going to invest in retail industry in our city. With this impending plan, Iloilo City will soon be an SM's haven.
I'll be saddened if Marymart would go away with the wind. That mall has become an institution in Iloilo. I have the feeling that there is what they call "Imperialism" in SM, but I dunno. I would prefer variety, that means both local and national mall institutions competing each other. At least for a difference.

^^
Well, the very essence of Democracy. They it has its Good side and BAD side as well... I still prefer Democracy... buy may a FIRM WILL POWER will have a big difference. :okay::lol:

All that we (and not King Louis or King anyone) is:
"L'etat, c'est moi!" :D

see this as both GOOD and BAD!

If you ask my opinion on this, I would love MMM to continue to flourish for VARIETY. Sure its not great or high end for some but Variety for me is something.

I mean I love the stores of MMM its the ILOILO I grew up with. I have friends who are tenants there since MMM started. They may have little boutiques but I patronize the stuff they sell. I wonder what would happen to them?

Sure, basi marelocate ang iban sa Atrium (Amigo is out of the picture, Gaisano City maybe?) but imagining the MMM as SM for that matter. I dunno. I have mixed reaction about this ATM. I mean MMM is my link to my highschool days. Geez I sound old already. Guess, I am to sentimental to let go of the place. Dira ako sang una namuti sang first time ko nakatilaw rambol (kasagsagan sang Frat Wars sang una ah, basi may nakadumdum AKRHO-MAGIC 7 or MAGIC 14, SRB days?)

On the good side, that would be a QUANTUM leap in terms of improvement.
Just IMAGINE what SM CITY Delgado will look like in shall we say 2-5 years?

From SEBA-to MAIN MALL -MMM! Its a linear-strip mall with all that jazz!
Will I be happy? Maybe kung SEBA lang? But converting MMM mall into SM?

I have my reservations on that.
Remember... MAKRO will be a HYPERMARKET soon.

Will nami tani kung magBUKAS ang Gaisano-Ayala sa Diversion or a new Mall will open.

" All SM and no other competition will be bad as well. I am seeing monopoly rearing its ugly head.

Maybe its just me. Or the weather is hot?

In any case GustoKiddo thanks for the HH.

Ako, If ever this happens, I will be leaping with joy!:banana::banana:
Although I know damu madulaan business pero I think may ara pa man Gaisano or other areas in the city.

And on the monopoly part, I am with you too. Tani may iban pagid nga malls nga masulod. Calling the attention of Ayala..I think your presence is badly needed. haha.

congrats sa new thread

^^just like other cities, if you want to stay on top, you have to be bigger, better, bolder... inde lang man Iloilo ang gadolobe ang SM. Cebu and Davao will soon have their second SM Supermalls too.
but their city's land area is twice, three times or ten times bigger than Iloilo City. Just imagine for a 70 sq km city to have 2 humongous SM Supermalls, an SM Hypermarket and 2 SM Supermarkets? Halos kada bunggo mo sa isa ka area, SM ang makita mo. I still prefer variety. Although like what Metro says, it could mean better tenants, bigger businesses or products to enter the city, etc, etc. Again, there's always two sides of a coin, and I still feel cautious and have reservations on SM Delgado taking MaryMart for the meantime.

Speaking of JPT....

Bomb thrown at bakeshop owned by Iloilo politico
March 08, 2010 09:13:00

INQUIRER.net

MANILA, Philippines—Unidentified suspects lobbed an explosive at the bakeshop owned by incumbent Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas before dawn Monday, injuring a security guard, the city police chief said.

In a phone interview, Senior Superintendent Melvin Moncal said the incident occurred at around 2:30 a.m. outside Carlos Bakeshop at Barangay (village) Dungon. The bakeshop is owned by Treñas, who is running for a congressional seat in the May elections.

The explosion occurred at the parking lot of the bakeshop and the incident left security guard Marlo Ganancial with minor injuries, Moncal said.

The explosion “totally damaged” the main door of the bakeshop, he added.

Post-blast investigators are still determining the type of explosive used in the incident.

Moncal said police investigators have yet to determine the motive in the incident.

^^ Desperate. :soapbox:
Anyway, at least I'm not seeing "local civil election wars" like those in Abra where in broad daylight during elections, guns rattle the whole area.

but their city is twice, three times or ten times bigger than Iloilo City. Just imagine for a 70 sq km city to have 3 huge SM Supermalls, an SM Hypermarket and 2 SM Supermarkets?

Di kpa na? Di na kita mag sakay para kpa SM? hahaha.
Daw changgi lang nga ara sa higad. ang malain, basi naka pang tulog lang sulod sa SM haw.

Kung i-lease sang SM ang Mary Mart dala pati ang IS?

Laban-laban total demolition gid ang mary mart kag patindugan sang SM sang bag-o nga building.

^^matyag ko daw inde na siguro paggub-on ang new building with carpark and the footbridge in between but i-renovate lang.. pero ang old building daw kinahanglan gid i-redevelop kay outdated na katama ang design and the zoning is not that good, damo dead spots.

Some tenants nga dako probability nga ma-retain are : Concept, Acer, BPI Express Banking Center, Sarabia Optical, Optical Shop, McDo, Greenwich, Gidcels Travel & Tours, Chowking

Tenants candidate for elimination : Handyman, Iloilo Supermart

For me, we need some variety. We need to cater to ALL markets that our society has. Marymart has created its own niche and sadly...if SM would really take it over, would lose variety in this area. Monopoly is something not good in a competitive society.

Or...Hmmm, I'm seeing this as a sort of blessing in disguise for Calle Real Heritage CBD. Maybe this is a high time for some shops to go back where they came from, way before these malls even exist. And during those times, Iloilo was at its height as an economic powerhouse. http://statics.plurk.com/900f3dd0adaad9142d567caf6bfb1311.gif

Right on Bernie... I mean MMM has a dedicated following... but sad to say SM Mall has better following, that is why they have the SM disAdvantage card wehehehe! :bash::lol:

In what way Bernie? tell me? because they will most likely occupy available space in the old CBD?

Adaptive-reuse? Hmmm now that seems...

Well, tell me. hehehe I hate to assume at this time. I need my caffeine fix. An oh my nicotine fix as well. :lol:

Or better yet, SM sya pero with totally different shops. Like shops that can't be found in SM City. Either open high end shops or mid shops nga wala pa di sa Iloilo

Di kpa na? Di na kita mag sakay para kpa SM? hahaha.
Daw changgi lang nga ara sa higad. ang malain, basi naka pang tulog lang sulod sa SM haw.

like me, biskan taga-Jaro ako, I find it more convenient magpa SM Delgado kay sa SM Mandurriao... and I like the ambience of SM Delgado.

besides, lapit man sya sa ancestral house sg father namon :lol:

If ever this happens, and I'm sure it would in the future (with or without MaryMart), the best option is to lure bigger retail investors to invest in our city. Again, I am not saying NO at all. I just think we should be cautious for the meantime.

Thats what they are doing with Southpoint ATM. They are negotiating with major MM players for their tenants.

I think, SM is the one creating the market trend, even the need now. They dictate what should be in their mall. Not the other way around. For sure that will happen on the UPCOMING Sm City Delgado Strip Mall Complex from SEBA to MMM. (Daw Sm North Edsa Annex guwa sini kay palaba)

Assuming this will be in a span of 2-5 years. But, I think this is not a remote possiblity. Considering Jamora is running for a position and He will need FUNDING for his campaign--- MMM is sure to go to Sm for leasing. Now the question is will SEBA give in to the offer?

Adelro, please give us any updates on this if there are any. :D Thanks!

If the SM City Delago Strip Mall Complex will come into fruition:
That means SM will go head on with Atrium-Amigo-Robinsons in almost close proximity. Deym! Kulang na lang tabukon pa nila ang Ledesma!

im taking it positively... there are still people (like me) nga nami-an gihapon maglagaw sa old CBD.. from Calle Real to SM Delgado, I just love strolling these places like on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

I'm not a fan of Calle Real or the Old CBD. I feel so dirty whenever I visit. Sometimes, I even feel like I can get killed any second.
Although afters its renovations and if its done right, I may try and take a second look. But for now, pass anay:)

That can come in later. Entrepreneurs and capitalists target whatever market exists.

If we really like to have these "high-end shops" exist, then we should go first with creating a niche in an existing infrastructure. That way, it would serve as a test pilot whether a particular mall catering to such market would be sustainable in long term.

Well, before these malls came, we have Calle Real. Now if that would happen, we see an influx of low-end services and commercial establishments fill Calle Real. That point, the area would become sustainable in its economy since it has found its own niche.

The next step would be maintaining it, aesthetically and fiscally. I suggest that ICCHCC would add up additional police power in their mandates.

That's the whole point of Calle Real Heritage CBD Revitalisation Programme. Address what hinders its growth, make use of the area that gave us the prominence during Iloilo's heydays.

After all, if it has been maintained and revitalised, it should provide Iloilo a competitive edge. That area can cater from Class A to Class E. Virtually, it becomes a central business district on its own right, with proper management.

However, we are confronted by the reality that we live in a capitalistic-feudalistic republic. Those owners won't budge, not until something would entice them to get involved in the cause. And that needs a whole lotta money to get these things done.


And regarding Calle Real can get you killed any second...Maybe you should try Divisoria, Cubao, Pasay Rotunda or Baclaran and see if you'd even survive...:lol: :nocrook:

Jusme, I take pix day and night at Calle Real, and I feel relatively safe than being in Quiapo! :lol:

I don't think Calle Real will ever be the " It " place again. Its a has been.
I'm not sure of the reasons why the class A population should take time to visit Calle Real. Yes it is tourist destination but the posh people walking on the streets? I D K

Those are your opinions berns. And while there lots of people on your side of the table, i know there are loads of people on mine too. So I think the rehabilitation should be done soon cause the fact that there are Ilonggo residents who think of Calle Real that way makes it look soooo different from what it should be.

calle real itself is safe enough for me. what's not safe are those alleys/streets that intersect with it... what makes it unsafe sometimes is the kind of life that wakes up in there during the night!

regarding marymart mall..., i think it's fine if SM takes over... the baratillos upstairs could relocate in heritage buildings in calle real. who knows, that way, someone might think of restoring one or some of those "kaluluoy" heritage buildings from their sorry state at the moment!

^^hehe wala ka abi naanad sa Manila lifestyle.. if you feel higko ang Old CBD, mas higko pa ang iban nga places like Quiapo.. if feel much safer sa aton nga Calle Real though attractive ka gid man sa mga bad elements if you display/wear your diamonds while you're there.

its because there are some things you cant buy sa mga malls nga ara sa old CBD and to think, most government offices are still scattered dira sa mga hilit-hilit sg old CBD.

^^hehe wala ka abi naanad sa Manila lifestyle.. if you feel higko ang Old CBD, mas higko pa ang iban nga places like Quiapo..

maybe. maybe it depends on what are your definitions of lifestyle in Manila. I find Manila fine except the parts to and from the airport.

Congrats Iloilo for the new thread... Hope more explosive development in our city and province will be featured here...

I think one thing to improve the Calle Real CBD is to oblige the buildings owner at this area to renovate their own building... The area should only be passable by pedestrians, and not by vehicles... They should also improve the side walks... The whole area is already deteriorating hope they can do some actions...

I can see many old CBD in China... The place is well maintained... Primarily, it became a tourist destination... You couldn't imagine a Starbucks and a Rolex shops found in an old edifice but it is beautifully preserved... It's just take a matter of will and action to put this dream into reality... Hope the next leader will have a definite plan for the tourism in our city....

Nah, don't expect it to be. But take a look at ...Vigan which took advantage of its old ancestral houses despite the movement of their CBD somewhere. And I think one realisation about Class A going to Iloilo would be, heritage itself. Lets take a look at Melacca, Macau, Puebla and even Mexico City--localities closely associated with the Philippines, IMO. Their old heritage CBDs have turned into tourist destinations. Most foreigners would even despise malls, since they would prefer to experience the streets. Since local and foreign tourists have money to spend, they bring a big market to a tourist destination, therefore increasing the chance of mid to high-end commercial establishments to be erected. The more exposure it gets with tourists and visitors, the more it becomes its own CBD. More visitors mean more money coming in. Heritage tourism is not as popular with the Ilonggos, but foreigners and other locals are.

Ergo, we should foster heritage conservation as one of the primary assets that could be developed for Iloilo's economy and marketing in the near future and beyond.

Let us not follow the path of Escolta, wherein people left the nostalgic area for good of Ayala Makati. I hope Iloilo would pursue a different path. Sustainability right now is a trend in urban planning...and I hope we won't dissapoint our urban planners who brought in "city beautiful movement" during the American colonial era.

maybe. maybe it depends on what are your definitions of lifestyle in Manila. I find Manila fine except the parts to and from the airport.

damo ka pa na miss other than that... maybe you've just seen one side of the city but kung nagdugay ka istar sa manila, maintindihan mo gid what bernie and I is trying to say. :)

If that would be the case then it might help Calle Real in the long run.
Sustainable economy is the key.
Aesthetics is a MAJOR issue here... since this one will require funding. Any idea on STATUS of the proposed OLD CBD revitalization?

Yup, sad but true the WIIFM doctrine is prevalent anywhere. Hopefully the next Mayor will be able to give this a second look or even give full support and help in this endeavor (I think Jed is more experimental, then we moght be seeing a good sign here)

It will not be the 'IT" place again but it will be the 'IT' place of an entirely different crowd. The market has several classes, depending on which class you belong, there will be always a provider or business that would cater to all levels or specialize on a specific class. Take for example MM, shall we say Ortigas, you have Sm Megamall in there pero sa likod nya may ara St Francis Square which is a glorified Ukay-Ukay.

Or on a broader level, even if Cubao has Gateway, may ara man Farmers Mall, Ali Mall, Shopwise kag Sm Cubao.

This is microcosm. There will be always different Markets... and providers for each market.

And just yerterday I spent 2 hours haggling with my wife for some goods sa Baclaran. :lol:

calle real itself is safe enough for me. what's not safe are those alleys/streets that intersect with it... what makes it unsafe sometimes is the kind of life that wakes up in there during the night!

Lemme ask you. Who gets the most money, Escolta or Ayala Makati? :)

Who makes the most? Central Market or SM City?
We view these things very diffrently. You are for restoration and reservation while I am for destruction and new development.
Although I believe Calle Real can still be beautiful if renovated properly, I would still wish it was totally removed. Cause with the way the businessmen there think, I don't see any rehabilitation happening soon.

damo ka pa na miss other than that... maybe you've just seen one side of the city but kung nagdugay ka istar sa manila, maintindihan mo gid what bernie and I is trying to say. :)

:lol: I think I prefer never to see those sides of Manila. Manila has a good reputation in my mind and I'd best keep it that way.:)

Variety? Sure thing. As long as the choices are the ones worth choosing.:lol:
very right indeed. It depends on what you want and need, and what can you afford. :) I still feel a bit more choices are way better though.

gani man. I think Iloilo can afford more choices.:lol:

Lemme ask you. Who gets the most money, Escolta or Ayala Makati? :)

Who makes the most? Central Market or SM City?
We view these things very diffrently. You are for restoration and reservation while I am for destruction and new development.
Although I believe Calle Real can still be beautiful if renovated properly, I would still wish it was totally removed. Cause with the way the businessmen there think, I don't see any rehabilitation happening soon.

^^
That is why we have the agency for that. We have the heritage council to enlighten and educate them. And yes, this will take TIME and EFFORT and MONEY, but I will choose this route without hesitation every time than seeing those wrecking balls flying around and destroying OLD ILOILO... yes the glory days might be over... but I want to see the ERA remains. Its hard to explain or comprehend why but the GLORIOUS PAST needs to stand side by side with the Present. Ask the Greeks! :okay:

:lol: I think I prefer never to see those sides of Manila. Manila has a good reputation in my mind and I'd best keep it that way.:)

Nah, its not complete. You should NOT see but experience MM warts and all. Even NY has slums. :D

And I think one realisation about Class A going to Iloilo would be, heritage itself. Lets take a look at Melacca, Macau, Puebla and even Mexico City--localities closely associated with the Philippines, IMO. Their old heritage CBDs have turned into tourist destinations. Most foreigners would even despise malls, since they would prefer to experience the streets. Since local and foreign tourists have money to spend, they bring a big market to a tourist destination, therefore increasing the chance of mid to high-end commercial establishments to be erected. The more exposure it gets with tourists and visitors, the more it becomes its own CBD. More visitors mean more money coming in. Heritage tourism is not as popular with the Ilonggos, but foreigners and other locals are.

^^if you walked the streets of downtown macau, their setup is really like our Calle Real and the streets sa mga hilit-hilit daw pareho man sa delgado, quezon, mabini etc. plus the names of the streets daw pareho gid sa aton like Avenida de Francis Xavier etc., pero mahipid lang gid galing. and kung kasulod ka sa ila mga buildings daw pareho gid da sa mga buildings ka intsik sa delgado, mabini, ledesma. :lol:

ang ila "posh" casinos and hotels are located naman on a different zone nga medyo malayo pa outside downtown.

Although I believe Calle Real can still be beautiful if renovated properly, I would still wish it was totally removed. Cause with the way the businessmen there think, I don't see any rehabilitation happening soon.

Don't think of now. Think of what it can do in the future.

Here's a comparison:
Who makes most money: Midtown Manhattan or Downtown Manhattan? ;)

I am not for destruction of Calle Real. I extremely oppose to your proposition since what defines the culture of Ilonggos, but its past. Manila is a sore loser in heritage conservation and a tourism because it became void of those old establishments where it has been destroyed by war. Manila has no character, no soul! Vigan's old establishments drew thousands.

People or businessmen who has a myopia or a horse-vision are the ones causing the destruction of the society itself. Because they resist to change and don't budge. That kind of thinking is destructive in a long run. Iloilo City itself is not popular to tourists because its void of anything.

Ask about people coming over to Iloilo. What makes Iloilo unique? Its malls? Malls and never ending malls? Which is almost the same as those in other cities?! It's void of its own uniqueness and spirit! Destroying Calle Real destroys everything that is Iloilo!

You don't think of possibilities beyond malls! Think about the possibility of revitalising the area, not destroying it! It simply shows that this kind of bloody attitude that some Ilonggos exhibit is the one hindering its progress. Very traditional and ultra-myopic! :bash:

A city has no soul and no culture is a city of monotony and blandness. It does not define Iloilo, nor Ilonggo culture. Destroying Calle Real is tantamount in destroying Ilonggo heritage and culture itself...that act itself is a betrayal of Ilonggo roots which doesn't cause pride after all! Iloilo City would be relegated as "classless and baseless city with no soul but like a Soviet-era city of commercialism." So what's unique with Iloilo?

Why do you need to destroy something all in the name of new? A lot of us only think of the present and future, but not look into the past. No wonder this country goes around in circles...a never ending vicious cycle.

Reality bites, all cities in the world have their own ghettos. Even New York and London has these. So, why escape if not face that facet?



Now the question: What makes Iloilo City unique from the rest of other Philippine cities when Calle Real be destroyed?


And oh, try commuting in Manila. Its great. There would really come in time in your life that you'll have to endure Manila as it is. EDSA-Ayala is already harsh, what more for the rest of the big city. Survival here is not defined by posh gates, but surviving the ninth circle of hell. ;)

Makati by the way, has hidden "jewels" right beside the CBD. Care to go Barangay San Lorenzo? :colgate:

Its where Assumption Makati is located. medyo daan na da mga houses and its quite outdated already when compared to today's developments, nag-class lang ina sya is because Ayala ang nagdevelop.

if you think these things make makati as sosyal as it is, behind those posh condos and towering buildings is where those slum areas are located. poverty is masked by "progress".

Calle Real CBD is a cultural gem and the soul of our city... This makes Iloilo City unique among other places... If this will be destroyed, there are no enough marks that could distinguish Iloilo City from the other places...

The modern development (the hi-rise things, modern structures, sossy mall) is becoming the trend of almost cities around the world... These could be seen elsewhere... If the whole city would be patterned from the recent trends by destroying those heritage structures and building new ones, we will slowly lose the identity and soul of our city....

I'm happy to see in the future that the Old CBD will be preserved and developed while the Diversion Road Districts will be turned to a place which Kiddos dreamed of... I want Iloilo to be a fusion of modernity and heritage...

^^ Basically that's a simple start. Now that Calle Real is a protected zone, destroying buildings is not as easy as one two and three because of the aid of legislation. The next step would be making it as a national heritage area in which it could get more funding for study and revitalisation.

Move the modern developments outside the city core. Its a good thing they have identified Mandurriao. But creating an imbalance of commercial activities in a highly-urbanised city would make the city prone to pillaging...hence, the start of the urban decay begins in the centre and spread all throughout the city.

I remember a German researcher who is in Ateneo stating that, "Manila has such a great potential, if only the people have taken care of the old establishments and reused it. It has such a great advantage in seeking the Filipino identity and making Philippines a tourism drawer. Alas, Manila was left to rot and decay while the other areas bloom. There is an imbalance, and in urban planning, it is already a warning sign of an impending urban decay all throughout the metropolis."

Modern buildings may be relocated outside of the city core...but never the city centre itself be devoid of such structures that defined Iloilo's rich heritage. If we are indeed proud of our past and of our culture and emulate what our ancestors did in making Iloilo City as the "Queen City of the South" in the past, then we should take care of our heritage structures at hand.

The capitalists are not dumb either. Question of where would you put the low-end commercial market and establishments would linger. Only rantings and no solution at hand serves no end.

Daw kadugay paman guru kung 2015 pa yah......

That wasn't even a proposition. That was an opinion.

"Destroying Calle Real destroys everything that is Iloilo!"
- Iloilo does not rely on Calle Real alone. There newer and much better facilities and business centers. Calle Real has done its part. I still stand by what I want. If Calle Real isn't rehabilitated, I want it gone.


"It simply shows that this kind of bloody attitude that some Ilonggos exhibit is the one hindering its progress. Very traditional and ultra-myopic! "
- How can you say such things when you haven't even heard about any of my thoughts for progress other than the Calle Real topic. Maybe its your mind that hinders our progress since all you talk about is preserving old structures.


"Why do you need to destroy something all in the name of new?"
- ask the developers of Ayala. Or if you're smart, you can figure that out for yourself diba?


In this thread, I think my views are unique. Almost nobody shares them and I think its great. We all have different views and you simply view it from a different perspective. Now in that case, you can oppose but you can never judge.

Banat, kiddo! Feel free to post your ideas. Believe ko sa imo. :)


BTW, regarding sa poll. Indi ko makita ang result kung sin-o ang favor sa 2011.

That wasn't even a proposition. That was an opinion.
As always, but an opinion is still considered a proposition in forums, debates and judicial courts.. ;)

Calle Real is not a solely Iloilo, but it has a great potential. That is why there is already a legislation protecting it. You couldn't rush its redevelopment overnight. How I wish we have a multi-billionaire Ilonggo who has the money that is equivalent to that of Sultan Bolkiah...then why not? But reality bites dear, you couldn't even remove that easily nor reconstruct it.

Does that mean that preserving old structures hinder progress as well in your own POV? Please look at other reference points, not just the Philippines. Preservation in heritage does not entail hindering progress. It is the people who refuses to see its culture and have it destroyed. Did the Philippines ever adapted "adaptive reuse" which is a trend in more developed nations?

Its like saying "going green" hinders "going progressive." ;)

The Filipinos always think of everything new is good, everything old is bad...and was even brought up to urban planning. The thing about Calle Real CBD is its revitalisation. Why left it rot if you could use it in your own advantage, most especially foreign tourists would love to see these in this part of Asia--since we Filipinos are not like them who doesn't give a damn on history, heritage or culture.

"Why do you need to destroy something all in the name of new?"
- ask the developers of Ayala. Or if you're smart, you can figure that out for yourself diba?
Am I smart, hell no! I ask you. Ayalas didn't destroyed Manila International Airport...and even became part of the Makati CBD now known as Nielsen Tower--the current Filipinas Heritage Library. Ayalas are staunch heritage philanthropists as well. So no, Ayala's developments are on new areas...not the old ones. ;)


In this thread, I think my views are unique. Almost nobody shares them and I think its great. We all have different views and you simply view it from a different perspective. Now in that case, you can oppose but you can never judge.
I don't get the bold statement. :lol: But I get your point and I understand your POV. I don't judge by the person, but by the argument he gives. That way, respect and professionalism is exhibited, rather than taking it as a personal attack. ;)



By the way, I'm no mister smarty pants as you may think. ;)

It is an allowance. Majority if not most of SSC Iloilo are based outside Iloilo like MM or even abroad. :D

Also 2015 is the Bold declaration of JPT for Iloilo to be a Premiere City... hence the significance. Also by that time basi sa MW property na ang meeting place by 2012 and beyond hehehe.

Wala ko gin include ang 2011 kay ka immediate (like 10 months from now). Tapos to give time for all to decide since it involves the whole SSC Iloilo Community. :)

But nevertheless in the spirit of Democracy... I added 2011. :)
Ara na sya as option. Thanks to Mod Hakz. :okay:

You will realize how important our Calle Real CBD if you happened to live or visit other countries for long time... Like China or Japan... Development in this areas is massive, and somehow at the end you'll get tired of these modern structures... They are all synonymous in every cities around the world...

The point here in reviving our Calle Real CBD is to have a tourism drawer that could improve the status of Iloilo City as a tourism haven since we don't have much package to offer to the tourist then, the Calle Real would help... This is just a simple logic. If you are a tourist in Beijing, which place would you prefer to visit the Beijing CBD or the Great Wall of China? Absolutely most of us will answer the Great Wall... Tourists want to visit places that could help them feel that they are in other places... We Ilonggos have to think why Paris, Rome, Milan, Athens, etc. are always crowded with tourists... Definitely modern structures is not the answers but with the heritage structures that awe their eyes, mind and soul...

Maayong Hapon Iloilo

Congrats sa new thread :banana::banana::banana:

i passed by SM Delgado this afternoon, may render na gle ang Philtrust Bank, its a nice 5-storey structure, nalimtan ko kwaan pic :bash:

-about Calle Real etc., i like it to be revitalized pero not totally destroy those heritage buildings that dates back since the Spanish times. beautify the area, pedestrianized it, put up more trees in the sidewalk, make it alive day and night. For new businesses who wants to put up businesses there, lets say one requirement is that their building must look like European/classical/etc to match other buildings standing side by side to it..

110th Public Library Day
March 8, 2010, 3:33pm

Public Library Day has been observed in the country since 1900. The first Public Library Day on March 9, 1900, launched the American Circulating Library (ACL), established by Charles Greenleaf. The ACL was turned over to the American Insular Government in 1901 and was placed under the Bureau of Education.

Aside from The National Library, the country has seen the spread of public libraries. The first public library established outside Manila was in the province of Iloilo in 1916. The provincial library of Albay was inaugurated in 1955.

Many other community libraries have been established by local government units, through their own funds or assisted by private and civic organizations. Altogether, these repositories of knowledge provide the means for members of the community to learn more about their own history and to satisfy their thirst for knowledge in various disciplines.

The National Library has implemented various programs to expand its collection and make available its resources to scholars.

At present, The National Library of the Philippines (NLP) has a fully operational Philippine Electronic Library (Philippine e-Library) that networks the learning resources of the Department of Science and Technology, the University of the Philippines System, the Department of Agriculture, the Commission on Higher Education, and its own rich collection.

We congratulate the National Library of the Philippines led by Director Prudenciana C. Cruz, its Officials and Personnel, on the occasion of the 110th Public Library Day. We wish them success in all their endeavors.

Maayong Hapon Iloilo

Congrats sa new thread :banana::banana::banana:

i passed by SM Delgado this afternoon, may render na gle ang Philtrust Bank, its a nice 5-storey structure, nalimtan ko kwaan pic :bash:

-about Calle Real etc., i like it to be revitalized pero not totally destroy those heritage buildings that dates back since the Spanish times. beautify the area, pedestrianized it, put up more trees in the sidewalk, make it alive day and night. For new businesses who wants to put up businesses there, lets say one requirement is that their building must look like European/classical/etc to match other buildings standing side by side to it..

^^
Great! May ara na render! 5 story gale, quite tall hehehe for a bank. We will be awaiting for the pics. :okay:

Ari pa gid pasimple lang isa ka home grown bank sang Iloilo.
Pwede na gid man siguro magtukod sang stock exchange sa 2015 ang Iloilo. :)

DPWH makes Ilongos happy with Iloilo flood control project (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=262960)

MANILA, March 8 (PNA) -- The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has given a ray of happiness and hope for the mitigation of perennial flooding problem in Iloilo with the near-completion of the Iloilo Flood Control Project in Panay Island.

In his recent briefing for DPWH Secretary Victor A. Domingo, Undersecretary for Visayas Operation Rafael C. Yabut and Presidential Management Staff (PMS) Undersecretary Ferdinand B. Cui Jr., Director Patrick Gatan of the Major Flood Control Project (Cluster 1) said that the soon-to-be-completed flood control structure will help cushion the impact of flooding in Iloilo compared to the magnitude of floodwater experienced during the onslaught of typhoon Frank in 2008.

Gatan said the Iloilo Flood Control Project consists of construction of new outlet channel (Jaro Floodway) and improvement of Jaro River System with the scale of 50-year return period and Iloilo City Urban City Drainage System Improvements with the scale of five-year return period.

The project is implemented in two stages: the ongoing Stage 1 divided into two contract packages and covering the 4.75-kilometer (km) Jaro Floodway, 5.90-km Upper/Lower Jaro River Improvement, 4-km Iloilo River Improvement, 3-km Upper Ingore Drainage Improvement, seven new bridges and relocation sites.

Gatan said that the major construction activities under Contract Package 2 with China International Water and Electric Corporation have been completed.

This contract package involves the improvement of Jaro River mouth, Iloilo River and upper Ingore Creek, including the construction of the new Carpenters Bridge.

On the other hand, construction of Jaro floodway and improvement of Tigum and Aganan rivers under Contract Package 1 and contractor Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction Co. Ltd. is more than 71 percent complete to date.

Director Gatan expressed his appreciation to DPWH Region 6 Director Rolando M. Asis for the assistance extended particularly in helping in the acquisition of project right-of-way which paved the way for the smoother implementation of civil works activities.

Costing P5.587 billion, the overall accomplishment of Stage 1 Project of 82.45 percent is more than five percent ahead of the projected schedule.

The project is funded under loan agreement between the Government of the Philippines and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

On the other hand, Stage 2 project in the future will cover the 11.90-kilometer Middle Jaro River Improvement, 0.60-kilometer La Paz Floodway, 4.60-kilometer Dungon Creek Improvement and 3.80-kilometer Urban Drainage Channel Improvement. (PNA)

This is the reason why we have the PdI. The bank financed the construction.

Pasimple lang isa ka home grown bank sang Iloilo.
Pwede na gid man siguro magtukod sang stock exchange sa 2015 ang Iloilo. :)

But realistically, we can make Iloilo one of the country's economic powerhouses.

Sa diin ang provincial library naton?

110th Public Library Day
March 8, 2010, 3:33pm

Public Library Day has been observed in the country since 1900. The first Public Library Day on March 9, 1900, launched the American Circulating Library (ACL), established by Charles Greenleaf. The ACL was turned over to the American Insular Government in 1901 and was placed under the Bureau of Education.

Aside from The National Library, the country has seen the spread of public libraries. The first public library established outside Manila was in the province of Iloilo in 1916. The provincial library of Albay was inaugurated in 1955.

Many other community libraries have been established by local government units, through their own funds or assisted by private and civic organizations. Altogether, these repositories of knowledge provide the means for members of the community to learn more about their own history and to satisfy their thirst for knowledge in various disciplines.

The National Library has implemented various programs to expand its collection and make available its resources to scholars.

At present, The National Library of the Philippines (NLP) has a fully operational Philippine Electronic Library (Philippine e-Library) that networks the learning resources of the Department of Science and Technology, the University of the Philippines System, the Department of Agriculture, the Commission on Higher Education, and its own rich collection.

We congratulate the National Library of the Philippines led by Director Prudenciana C. Cruz, its Officials and Personnel, on the occasion of the 110th Public Library Day. We wish them success in all their endeavors.

Iloilo teen succumbs to heat stroke
GMANews.TV - Sunday, March 7

The searing summer heat has become so severe it has started to claim human casualties, the latest being a 16-year-old high school student who succumbed to heat stroke days before his graduation in Iloilo province.

Van Ricrey Gallardo of Zarraga town collapsed after playing basketball and attending a fiesta (community feast in honor of a patron saint) in another town, after which he was rushed to the hospital but did not survive, Iloilo-based news site The News Today reported on Friday.

According to the Department of Health (DOH), heat stroke is the “most severe form of heat illness when the body overheats and can’t cool down," adding that “the body cannot take off the excessive heat by sweating because of dehydration and/or humid environment."

This week, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) announced the start of the summer season, bringing higher temperatures that are expected to peak in April.

Causes of heat stroke, according to DOH, are dehydration, too much direct exposure to the sun, and vigorous exercise in hot weather.

“The risk of heat stroke goes way up in hot and humid weather," the DOH said on an health advisory posted on its website.

Meanwhile, signs of heat exhaustion include faintness, dizziness, weakness, headache, and a warm, flushed skin, which may worsen to an “emergency condition" of heat stroke characterized by very high fever of 41 degrees Celsius, rapid heartbeat, convulsion, delirium, and unconsciousness.

To prevent heat exhaustion, the DOH recommends limiting the amount of time spent outdoors, especially this summer season. It also advised drinking plenty of water and avoiding tea, coffee, soda, and alcohol.

Immediate treatment includes having a person lie down with his or her legs elevated indoors and sip cool water. Clothing must also be removed and cool water applied on the skin, including ice packs on armpits, wrists, ankles, and groin.—NC/JV, GMANews.TV

Stock Exchange is part of Iloilo's vision to be the Premier City by 2015.

Iloilo city aims to be more attractive both as a business and cultural center in the region. Mayor Treñas laid out a plan to establish business facilities including a stock exchange, convention centers, manufacturing facilities, and an interconnected mass transport system, while preserving cultural heritage.

Daw indi man malayo kay ara man sa plano. :)

Reality-wise, IMO, that vision seems far-fetched. Cebu hasn't got any PSE branch yet nor they they even continued with their expansion at Bonifacio Global City for the integration of Makati and Ortigas Stock Exchange Centres.

But realistically, we can make Iloilo one of the country's economic powerhouses.

nope.. 34 man di subong sa Iloilo.. Manila can rise to 36.6 within the next 4 days daw.

Grabe nga kainiton ba... Ang iban nga countries sige pa ang snow and suffering from a very frozen temperature but ang Pinas ya pwerte kainit... Now this is the effect of nature's wrath to mankind's abuse to its resources...

This is the reason why we have the PdI. The bank financed the construction.

Pasimple lang isa ka home grown bank sang Iloilo.
Pwede na gid man siguro magtukod sang stock exchange sa 2015 ang Iloilo. :)

Well, whats next? :D

nope.. 34 man di subong sa Iloilo.. Manila can rise to 36.6 within the next 4 days daw.

I see thanks sa info! :ohno:
Its a hot 2010 gid man! No need to worry kung gina-follow man ang advise sang DOH ah. :okay:

Grabe nga kainiton ba... Ang iban nga countries sige pa ang snow and suffering from a very frozen temperature but ang Pinas ya pwerte kainit... Now this is the effect of nature's wrath to mankind's abuse to its resources...

gani.. sa kaluoy sg Diyos, wala pa gahubas amon deep well but may signs na since last week that its running low kay medyo inde na matin-aw ang gagwa sa faucets namon. ang amon ginahimo is tag 30 minutes na lang amon paandar sg water pump para makareplenish ang water level bag-o mag pasaka liwat water sa tank. kung sigihon mo gid pasaka tubig biskan wala na tubig, chances are ma-overheat lang ang water pump or ma-clog ang pipe :ohno:

Stock Exchange is part of Iloilo's vision to be the Premier City by 2015.

Iloilo city aims to be more attractive both as a business and cultural center in the region. Mayor Treñas laid out a plan to establish business facilities including a stock exchange, convention centers, manufacturing facilities, and an interconnected mass transport system, while preserving cultural heritage.

Daw indi man malayo kay ara man sa plano. :)

Its a hyped marketing ploy for ISA, and in my opinion...very very far-fetched and unrealistic. Not that I'm pessimistic, but I think that's a reality. I guess if we have Fortune500-like companies in Iloilo that went public, then that's possible. However, PSE would see it very very far-fetched for 2015. It's already 2010, and 5 years is so short. Let's get with the basics first: Convention centres, manufacturing facilities and an effective mass transport system, while preserving cultural heritage.

Indi kita anay maghandum sa tam-an kataas sa malip-ot nga tyempo. In the long run, there may be a possibility, but for now, we have work to do.

^^
remember promises are promises, and promises are made to be broken especially sa mga politiko. :lol:

basi may ma promisa naman da dugay2 sa ila nga pabutangan taytay ang iloilo kag guimaras ha.. hehe daw since 1990's pa ina nga promisa nga wala gid tupa. :lol:

Iloilo City attains P78-million surplus

ILOILO City -- The city government attained a budget surplus of P78 million in 2009, indicating its good financial standing.
Mayor Jerry Treñas said despite a slowdown in the activities of most economies, the city government was able to attain a budget surplus last year, although lower than the P105-million surplus in 2008.
“I am very proud of our local finance people,” he said.
The local finance group is composed of the Offices of the Treasurer, Budget, Accounting and Assessors.
Treñas said the city started to have surpluses since the budget was put in place under his administration.
“Among the cities, I can claim that Iloilo City is one of the best in the Philippines,” he said.
He cited the good relationship between the city government and the business sector for sustaining the surplus.
The mayor said part of the surplus would be used to fund several obligations and programs of the city that were included the supplemental budget he was about to submit to the Sangguniang Panlungsod. (PNA)

Ayala IT park a big lift for BPO in Iloilo City

THE mushrooming investments in office spaces for Business Processes Outsourcing (BPO) firms will answer the lack of infrastructure for the new sunshine industry of Iloilo City.

City Mayor Jerry Treñas said he is elated by the entry of Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) which will develop a 2-hectare lot at Riverside Boardwalk in Brgy. San Rafael, Mandurriao into a BPO/Information Technology Park.
“There’s current lack of space for BPOs but we hope that the new investment will be more than sufficient to fulfill requirements for IT industry in succeeding years,” Treñas said.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, ALI said it signed a 35-year lease agreement with Teodoro B. Pison, Josefina B. Pison-Ortiz, and Riverside Boardwalk Properties Inc. for the development project that would consist of three BPO facilities with a total of 19,000 square meters of gross leasable area (GLA).

Costing some P305 million, the project’s initial phase is the establishment of a building with an estimated GLA of 9,500 square meters.

Scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2010, the construction works are expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2011.

“Ayala Land’s project will be the biggest BPO development in Iloilo to date and is consistent with the company’s goal of expanding into, developing and redeveloping strategic areas within attractive growth centers across the country in order to deliver on the expectations of its customers and shareholders,” said Solomon M. Hermosura, ALI’s assistant corporate secretary.

Treñas welcomed the development and its multiplier effects saying “it will mean more money in circulation and more economic activities.”

ALI affirms that Iloilo City was identified by the Business Process Association of the Philippines as one of the “next wave cities” for BPO firms because it has an attractive power, telecommunications, commercial sea and airport infrastructure.

Likewise, the city offers one of the lowest rental and average base pay rates in the country.

but their city's land area is twice, three times or ten times bigger than Iloilo City. Just imagine for a 70 sq km city to have 2 humongous SM Supermalls, an SM Hypermarket and 2 SM Supermarkets? Halos kada bunggo mo sa isa ka area, SM ang makita mo. I still prefer variety. Although like what Metro says, it could mean better tenants, bigger businesses or products to enter the city, etc, etc. Again, there's always two sides of a coin, and I still feel cautious and have reservations on SM Delgado taking MaryMart for the meantime.

^^ if you compare iloilo then and now, kalapad na gid ya sg area nga pwede mo ma-classify as part sg iloilo city kay biskan ang mga residential communities sa oton, pavia, hibao-an and leganes that are adjacent to the 3 districts of iloilo --- jaro, mandurriao and molo daw pwede na ina sila dugay-dugay madugang as additional districts. that is, kung mag-abot ang time that these areas will become densely populated. as early as now, pamatyag ko ya kadamo na gid tawo sa ciudad sg iloilo.

Lot owners push for Iloilo River protection

ILOILO City – An informal association of seven lot owners along the banks of the Iloilo River fronting Brgy. Tabucan, Mandurriao district is initiating steps to protect the river from squatters and illegal fishpens.
Headed by former Department of Tourism Secretary Narzalina Lim, the real estate owners formulated a common strategy for river protection and development compatible with those identified in the Iloilo River Development Plan.
The group earlier met with Architect Manuel Tingzon, chairman of the Iloilo River Development Council (IRDC), to discuss the project and make a power point presentation for the IRDC’s comments on March 10.
Lim said the group wanted to be involved in protecting and developing the river as the city’s premier natural tourist attraction and site of livelihood opportunities for the people of this southern city.
Initial members of the concerned informal group include brothers Bobby and Victor Pison, Dr. Alice Saldaña, Ann Saldaña, Ludwig Rieder, Adorada Dichupa, Dr. Alfonso Tan and Lim. (PNA)

Pinoy Global Center at SM City Iloilo

Presentation of the Global Pinoy Card.
Overseas foreign workers (OFW) and their beneficiaries have another reason to be happy. With the opening of the Pinoy Global Center in SM City Iloilo, they will be given ample assistance in their varied needs.

“This is one of the corporate social responsibilities of SM Prime Holdings, to offer membership to all OFWs and their beneficiaries. They can come here, relax, have coffee or tea and do their business like remittance, foreign exchange, cell phone charging and free video conference with loved ones as well as free Internet,” said Majella Libo-on, SM City Iloilo mall manager. “Later on, we will provide trainings for the beneficiaries on how to invest their benefactors’ hard-earned money,” she added.

The requirements for membership are proof of remittance or passport and P150 as payment for the one-time membership. Then, the member will be issued a Pinoy Global Card, which can be presented to the center anytime.

Soon, this card will come with more perks when SM Prime ties up with other stores for possible freebies that the OWFs and their kin can enjoy.

Pila ka adlaw palibog ko kung ano meanng sang HH - ay teh Huring huring malang gali. He he he he. We are coining so many words/acronyms here in SSC.

Anyway, a friend told me that the Philippines will open to around 2 million retirees around the world this year. I am hoping that Iloilo will have a share on this market. We should sell the whole region to these 2 million retirees.

Also, I think we can do more to promote Iloilo. Why not come up with a package making iloilo as the anchor city for all tourist destinations around the region. Make it as a hub or a getaway point. For example make a package for one week stay in Region VI. Arrive in Iloilo, stay there for about a day, travel around Panay, and bring them to Guimaras or Boracay for 2 days and 3 nights or bring them to Cuyo Island or Northern Iloilo and then go back to the city for the last 2 days and 1 night.

Para ganito:

1 day - Iloilo City Heritage Tour
2 days - Panay tour - include all heritage tours and ecotourism tour.
3 days and 2 nights - Boracay/Guimaras/Northern Iloilo/ Cuyo Island (depende sa package rate).
2 days and 1 night - another stay sa Iloilo City.


One thing that I am looking forward to see is having a cruise lines from Iloilo City touring the whole Island of Panay, going to Cuyo Islands to Palawan and daan ng Tubbataha reefs tapos balik iloilo city.

I think and I believe, it is all about marketing. Selling the city to tourists and investors. That's what Cebu did. They were aggressively selling the city since 1980's. :D

Just noticed.. why is my post count down to 2 when I still have over 10 posts in other un-archived threads??

Watermelon farmers, vendors gain from El Niño
By John Mark Guda, ABS-CBN Iloilo | 03/08/2010 6:55 PM

Printer-friendly version | Send to friend | Share your views

ILOILO, Philippines - Not all farmers are praying for rain to combat El Niño.

Watermelon growers and vendors are benefiting from the early onset of drought in the Philippines.

Josie Macado, 40, a watermelon vendor, said she expects at least 10% increase in profit this year with El Niño. .

With the continuous dry weather, they were able to grow bigger watermelons and attain higher yield.

El Niño is not at all bad, said Macado, who's been selling watermelons for almost 15 years.

According to Macado, without any rain, a watermelon can grow up to 8 to 10 kilos, which they can sell at P10 per kilo.

Meanwhile, a 10-30% increase in tourist arrivals is expected by the tourism department in the region.

Boracay Island, being the most popular destination, is reportedly getting full bookings and accommodation.

This upsurge in tourist arrival is expected to continue until the month of June as weather bureau PAGASA sees the dry spell to last until the end of the second quarter.

Western Visayas region Tourism Director Edwin Trompeta said that aside form foreign arrivals, domestic tourists, especially families going on vacation, will further add to the volume of tourist visits.

Aside from Boracay, the department is also banking on the white pristine beaches of Guimaras island and the inviting coastline of Northern Iloilo.

^^ probably true because its darker in color than concrete... remember sa mga elementary science experiments sang una that dark colors (especially black) tend to absorb more heat than light colors.

"heat island effect" na nga daan sa mga concrete structures + the heat absorbed and retained by dark asphalt te mainit na gid eh.

"Does that mean that preserving old structures hinder progress as well in your own POV? "
- Maybe? kay kung puro lang ta preserve preserve, preserve gid dangtan ta.


"Its like saying "going green" hinders "going progressive." "
- it depends on your definition of going green. kay kung indi ka man ka afford mag go green tapos gina pilit mo pa mag go green, GREEN gid gwa mo.



"I don't get the bold statement. But I get your point and I understand your POV. I don't judge by the person, but by the argument he gives. That way, respect and professionalism is exhibited, rather than taking it as a personal attack. "
- you don't? maybe you can read your posts again.:)



no smarty pants? ows? haha.
nah. you have an active brain.
hence all the arguments.

We all have points. We just have different views of the mountain.:lol:

You will realize how important our Calle Real CBD if you happened to live or visit other countries for long time... Like China or Japan... Development in this areas is massive, and somehow at the end you'll get tired of these modern structures... They are all synonymous in every cities around the world...

The point here in reviving our Calle Real CBD is to have a tourism drawer that could improve the status of Iloilo City as a tourism haven since we don't have much package to offer to the tourist then, the Calle Real would help... This is just a simple logic. If you are a tourist in Beijing, which place would you prefer to visit the Beijing CBD or the Great Wall of China? Absolutely most of us will answer the Great Wall... Tourists want to visit places that could help them feel that they are in other places... We Ilonggos have to think why Paris, Rome, Milan, Athens, etc. are always crowded with tourists... Definitely modern structures is not the answers but with the heritage structures that awe their eyes, mind and soul...

Not to be tikalon but I grew up in Dubai. For almost 7 years. And I've seen it grow from desert to a megacity and i'm still hungry for all the development. I still love seeing skyscrapers, new shiny buildings and intimidating structures.
As I put it, we all have different views. No one will share the same view of the window.

Watermelon farmers, vendors gain from El Niño
By John Mark Guda, ABS-CBN Iloilo | 03/08/2010 6:55 PM

ILOILO, Philippines - Not all farmers are praying for rain to combat El Niño.

Watermelon growers and vendors are benefiting from the early onset of drought in the Philippines.

Josie Macado, 40, a watermelon vendor, said she expects at least 10% increase in profit this year with El Niño. .

With the continuous dry weather, they were able to grow bigger watermelons and attain higher yield.

El Niño is not at all bad, said Macado, who's been selling watermelons for almost 15 years.

According to Macado, without any rain, a watermelon can grow up to 8 to 10 kilos, which they can sell at P10 per kilo.

Meanwhile, a 10-30% increase in tourist arrivals is expected by the tourism department in the region.

Boracay Island, being the most popular destination, is reportedly getting full bookings and accommodation.

This upsurge in tourist arrival is expected to continue until the month of June as weather bureau PAGASA sees the dry spell to last until the end of the second quarter.

Western Visayas region Tourism Director Edwin Trompeta said that aside form foreign arrivals, domestic tourists, especially families going on vacation, will further add to the volume of tourist visits.

Aside from Boracay, the department is also banking on the white pristine beaches of Guimaras island and the inviting coastline of Northern Iloilo.

It's good that Guimaras and Northern Iloilo has a fair share in tourism promotion done by the Department of Tourism... Nahimasmasan guru si Trompeta sang na overtake sang Cebu kag Cam Sur ang Boracay as the most number of tourists arrival in our country...

RURAL UPDATE

Iloilo’s beautiful beaches and more ecotourism sites

LAST week, we wrote that our tourism thrust must be reviewed. We have too many pestibals, err...we mean festivals, that we forgot to showcase the history and nature’s abundant gifts to us in Western Visayas, more particularly in Iloilo where we have beautiful beaches and many ecotourism products to be discovered. This was mentioned no less than by Tourism Secretary Ace Durano in his speech at a recent media gathering in Malacañang.

We remember witnessing a Parade of Festivals in 2006 as part of the Iloilo Tourism Week. We had a house guest from Davao and we thought we will entertain him to witness the great festival extravaganza, and so we managed to get a couple of seats for us at the Freedom Grandstand for the festival parade. He was just too courteous but we think we bored him of the all-morning show of festivals and festival parade up to the hungry hours past noon!

At that time, we learned that about 100 festivals are celebrated in Western Visayas every year, including the controversial Aswang Festival of Capiz. It seems to be the trend of our tourism in this part of the country that now, even barangays have created “tribes” of their own to showcase a local custom or product. Now, we should know, with no less than our Secretary of Tourism telling us that we re-direct our tourist efforts to the natural assets and ecotourism attractions that we have in abundance in the region.

As early as October of 2006, we wrote of ecotourism which was quickly becoming one of the most popular forms of vacationing in many parts of the world. “Ecotourism” was a term coined by one Hector Seballos-Lascurain in 1983. It was initially used to describe nature-based travel to relatively undisturbed areas with emphasis on education.

The concept has, however, developed into a scientifically-based approach to planning, management and development of sustainable tourism products and services.

Ecotourism in the Philippines had its roots in 1998 when the government adopted the 20-year Tourism Master Plan developed by the Department of Tourism, the United Nations (UN) Development Program and World Trade Organization (WTO). That was 12 years ago, but our development in Western Visayas as a tourist region appears to be more of festivals and festivals, with many places creating a “tribe” to dance on the streets during fiestas and other celebrations, without missing to choose or elect a “muse” or “queen” to preside over the festivities.

We would like to add the observation that our tourism thrust has become very elitist, with many of our people unable to participate, except as onlookers. There is also not much of ecotourism which is the world trend nowadays.

Maybe, with the extremely hot summer, now is the opportunity for us to discover Iloilo’s beautiful beaches and more of our ecotourism sites. (For comments or reactions, please e-mail to jnoveraco@yahoo.com)/PN

tane ginhambalan mo si nang julie nga kwaan ang iya ka girls cr nyahaha,,

Not to be tikalon but I grew up in Dubai. For almost 7 years. And I've seen it grow from desert to a megacity and i'm still hungry for all the development. I still love seeing skyscrapers, new shiny buildings and intimidating structures.
As I put it, we all have different views. No one will share the same view of the window.

I respect your opinion Kiddo... You have your point, and I have mine too...

Iloilo has a vast land which needs to be developed and it isn't near to its saturation point... Those areas are primarily for these modern development... Why should we destroy our heritage structures if we can see much tourism potential on it... I'm sure even Dubai preserved some of their heritage structures...

Dubai massive reconstructions are mainly to attract tourists and businesses, and to be known all throughout the world... If Iloilo will follow the same steps, can our local government afford to built those humongous structures... It is better that we will stick to the plan, and flourish our possible tourism drawer...

I had talked to several foreigners, and asked what they are looking when they visit a foreign country... For them the most important is the historical structures of a certain place, beaches, and culture of the people... Our being hospitable is a plus factor to them... And nobody mentioned of skyscrapers or modern structures of the place... I'm sure many would agree with me...

I think this was supposedly a miniature version of the Cathedral at the Glen, in Tapaz, Capiz. It hardly resembles at all even as a mini-me version. I've been to the actual Cathedral at the Glen during the commemoration of the 50th death anniversary/martyrdom of the American missionaries.
