Iloilo-Negros Air Express Co.

In the mid 1920s, the Philippines was considered as an important stopover for international flights, especially those originating from Europe. Pioneer flights from Italy and Germany were made to pass through the Philippines in order to reach their final destination.

A leading shipping magnate, Eugenio Lopez, after establishing land and sea transport services, formed the island's first Filipino-owned commercial airline on 3 February, 1933.

Lopez saw the future in air transportation following a visit to Indonesia. Up until that time, the closest thing to a domestic airline in the Philippines was an air ferry service called Philippine Air Taxi Corporation or PATCO. It was largely involved in servicing the requirements of the American-owned mining companies, occasionally carrying passengers and mail. The planes were spartan, small and rugged and passenger comfort was not a priority.

In 1932, just four years after Pan American Airways was founded, Lopez established the Iloilo Negros Air Express Company or INAEC. He purchased a pair of former American Airlines Stinson Trimotors (a ten passenger plane that has proven itself as a workhorse). The planes featured plush upholstered seats, reading lamps, a comfort room and air conditioning. These amenities were unheard of in those days. Two American pilots were hired to fly the service on the Iloilo-Bacolod and Iloilo-Manila routes. It soon added Cebu, Davao and Zamoboanga.

INAEC later operated their service flying Sikorsky S-43 amphibians.

Despite pressure from American interests to buy out the airline, Lopez reamined in firm control of the service until the outbreak of war.

KICKBACK
Changes in city hall plan violate law – Lozada
ILOILO City – Unscrupulous persons are making money out of the changes made to the original plan for the new city hall, believes Jun Lozada, the whistleblower in the aborted national broadband deal that nearly caused the downfall of then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

He also said the changes that Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog ordered to the original city hall plan do not qualify as “change order” under the law.

Under the Government Procurement Reform Act (Republic Act 9184), Lozada said, a government agency can only add up so-called “change orders” at a maximum of 10 percent of the original project cost.

The new city hall was bid out by contractor FF Cruz for P368 million. The Revision of Plans that Mabilog approved would need P260 million in additional loan – way over P36,800,000 which is 10 percent of P368 million.

For Lozada, the city hall project is no different from other rigged government projects. He knows what he is talking about. Having been a government consultant for years, he is familiar with how budgets of government projects are bloated.

“They will give the lowest price in the original contract so their favored contractor could come in. Then they will insert the additional items in the form of change orders. That’s where they add their kickbacks,” Lozada said.

The Revision of Plans for the new city hall include, among others, more expensive homogenous ceramic tiles (over P15 million), roll-up blinds for all windows (P11 million), change of offices from one floor to another (entailing P12 million), storage racks in the storage room (P8.7 million), closed circuit television cameras, air-conditioning units, additional elevators, toilet and pantry areas, fire exit stairs from the ground floor to the third floor, partition and modular system furniture, power cable distribution, transformer and generator sets, voice data system and uninterrupted power supply for the server room, water pumps, motors and pressure tanks, dental chair, examination beds for City Health Office, florescent tube lighting fixtures, safety vaults, solar panels, drainage outfall and wall insulation.

According to Lozada, “change order” is a “typical technique” used by government agencies to go around the Government Procurement Reform Act.

One of the major changes was the parking spaces allotted in the original plan (second and third floors). Mabilog decided to just do away with them and make use of the floors for additional office spaces.

Knowledgeable engineers and architects said constructing parking spaces on elevated floors is very expensive. That these were done away with actually gave the contractor big savings because these two floors of parking spaces were still included when the project was bid out, they said.

Concerned architects and contractors like Architect Ramon Teruel and Architect Melvin Lataquin of the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) have previously expressed the view that the city hall is overpriced.

Even if the initial budget was only for the structure of the seven-storey city hall, they said, an additional P260 million for furniture and fixtures would still be too much.

Teruel recalled that UAP Hamili – the local chapter of the UAP – had estimated an eight-storey city hall at P350 million only (complete building already except for furniture and fixtures).

Even if furniture and fixtures will be added, the total cost would not reach P710 million as in the case of the current project, said Teruel.

He estimated the budget needed for the furniture and fixtures – to make the city hall building habitable and functional – to only reach around P50 million.

For his part, Lataquin said the changes to the original plan have also made the new city hall a violator of at least two provisions of the New Building Code of the Philippines.

Lataquin said the new city hall does not have a “setback” which is a requirement of the new law.
Another violation, he said, is the lack of parking spaces.

Mabilog had said the city government will purchase the lot adjacent to the city hall for parking spaces.

Such plan, however, is raising some eyebrows. The mayor was referring to the lot where the over a century-old Kerr & Co. building stands.

Kerr & Co. was one of the first British firms to operate in the country. Concerned sectors consider it already a part of Iloilo’s historical heritage.

Mabilog has denied that there was corruption in the city hall construction.

He also justified the changes he made to the original city hall plan by saying: “We want a city hall that all of us can be proud of. And because we want (good) quality, we are willing to pay the (high) price.”

In a technical conference he called on May 5, Mabilog said he would rather have the new city hall stacked with expensive yet high-end fixtures than spend public money for cheap ones with poor quality.

FF Cruz also denied that the project is overpriced.

“Lugi pa nga kami diyan dahil madaming pinabago,” an official said. “Pero okey lang kasi talagang gusto namin na matapos nang maganda,” an official of the company who requested not to be named said./PN





LAPSUS CALAMI

WHAT IS MAYOR JED AFRAID OF?
MAYOR Jed is now starting to show his real color. The City Councilors are the first to notice this. He is using as leverage the release of their social funds.
“Gapang-ipit na s’ya. Nahadlok guro,” a staff of one councilor who asked not to be identified said.
Some councilors have started to ask for the purchase requests and prices relative to the new city hall project. They want these documents now and not after the purchases have been made to make sure that everything is above board.
But Mayor Jed seems to have taken offense. What is he afraid of? He has nothing to worry if the transactions are all in order. Or is he hiding something?
“With what he is doing with the social fund, he is trying to show to the councilors who is the boss,” a city hall insider said.
Do we have a new “king” in the city?
Say mo, Pancita?

‘TRAPO’
USING government funds as leverage over the City Councilors is a dirty, underhanded move only trapos do. This is condemnable.
We pity the City Councilors who will draw the line with Mayor Jed, especially on the matter concerning the overpriced city hall.
If they will not toe the line, maputi gid mata nila sa social fund.
Is Mayor Jed a trapo? During the elections last year, we thought he styled himself as a young and non-traditional politician. Pa-gwapa lang to gali?
Say mo, Inday Jam-jam?
Councilor Jeffrey “dies-dies” laughing!

HIGHWAY ROBBERY
THE unconscionable price of the new city hall is a broad daylight highway robbery.
At P710 million now due to “change orders” in the original construction plan, it is nearly twice its original price! Susmaryosep!
What is despicable in all these is that the change order is more than what is allowed by the law.
Under Republic Act 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act, the “change order” allowed for a government project must not exceed 10 percent of the original project cost.
In the case of the new city hall, which was bid out for P368 million, its 10 percent is only at P36,800,000.
But the cost of the change order would entail the city government to spend some P260 million more! This is already illegal and highly immoral.
What is this we heard that Mayor Jed has issued an order directing all city hall personnel not to release any document pertaining to overpriced projects without his permission?
Daw gaka-praning na si Mayor haw?
Jun Lozada “dies-dies” laughing!

PNOY TAKES POTHOTS AT NONG NIEL
PNOY honored the country’s best auditors, including this year’s Outstanding Commission on Audit (COA) Employee Awardee, Haydee Pasuelo of Iloilo, for having discovered multimillion-peso anomalies.
Indirectly, the President criticized his political ally Nong Niel who hated Inday Haydee so much for uncovering irregularities in the provincial capitol during his administration.
PNoy said Inday Haydee’s honesty and dedication prevented scammers from stealing government money.
“Hindi nagpapabaya. Heidi Pasuelo State Auditor 4 mula Iloilo. Maliban sa pagharang sa P97.8 million waldas sa tatlong ahensya ng gobyerno, natuklasan niya mahigit P1 million pa kinulimbat. Halos P100 million ang nailigtas ng matalas, matapat at wala sinisino na COA auditor,” PNoy said at the 112th anniversary rites of COA yesterday.
The President’s paeans on Inday Haydee were an indictment of the Tupas administration.
Don’t you agree, Boy?
Nerio “dies-dies” laughing!

LITTLE CONGRESSMAN
DISGUSTED barangay captains are talking behind the back of Cong. Jerry’s chief of staff, Kap Jonas.
“Daw si sin-o gid. Nakatong-tong lang ang langaw sa likod sang karabaw, matyag ‘ya kabaraw man s’ya,” one village chief hollered.
Kap Jonas it was who prohibited barangay captains from going to the residence of businessman-philanthropist Rommel Ynion to receive free foodstuffs for their poor and hungry constituents.
Was he also the one who barred the barangay captains from attending the 30th anniversary celebration of Panay News at the Sarabia Manor Hotel and Convention Center?
“Bag-o pa lang gani, waslik poder na,” another barangay captain whispered.
He could simply be taking orders from someone else. Say mo, Kap Sitoy?
Kap Mani “dies-dies” laughing!

Aww daw damu gid ya sa UI gale...one of these new lawyers of Iloilo has cerebral palsy pa bala(Atty Julius Alegrado)...nabasa ko article about sa iya...he graduated cum laude from WVSU(polsci) and took law at CPU...inspiring lang iya nga life.

IMHO, if the facilities are the same as that of Iloilo Sports Complex like swimming pool, basketball court, tennis court etc... it would be better to build a decent Football Stadium there that can hold International and Local Football Tournaments and best if its according to FIFA Standards with at least 40,000 seater and good lighting for night sports.

RE 1st Bolded Line
That is why IMHO mas maayo kung ang ILOILO CITY SPORTS COMPLEX, mangin isa ka dedicated Football Stadium of FIFA standards only sans oval... kay may ara na sina sa ISC para hindi redundant.

Of course the use would be limited to Football Tournaments/Practice or anything realted to football only and or concerts (pwede ina basta open type lang, pwede gani dra na lang i-held Dinagyang hehehe), all other sports activities can be held @ Iloilo Sports Complex.

RE 2nd Bolded Line
Agree gid ko da. :okay:

Hopefully, makalikom pa dako nga pondo si Sen. Frank Drilon, Cong. JPT & Mayor JPM! And tani Football Stadium of FIFA Standards will be erected... *wish*

What I am waiting for the Lopezes is to put up an industrial park/export processing zone...this will surely generate a lot of jobs...:)

Western Visayas produces a lot of engineering graduates and most of them end up in industrial processing zones in Cavite, Laguna, Cebu and as far as Baguio City.

that i agree -- I hope Lopezes will look at this kind of investment before setting up an airline industry in Iloilo. It would be good to have our own carrier based in Iloilo but the jobs the processing zones that'll create is far more huge. We'll see. They're planning on something for Iloilo, they jusy cannot pinpoint the right one as of the moment. :)

Lack of bulk storage facility causes high petroleum prices in W. Visayas

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

ILOILO CITY, May 9 (PNA) – The lack of a bulk storage facility in Western Visayas is one of the major causes of higher pump prices of petroleum products in the region, big oil players here said.

It has been observed that fuel prices in the region are really very high, according to National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Regional Director Ro-Ann Bacal, citing the report of the Department of Energy price monitoring that was presented before members of the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RWTPB) recently.

“That is a bit of disadvantage because it means that there are no areas available to stock our petroleum products, and if there is, it’s not as big as the others. So the cost of freight coming to and from the other sources makes it more expensive,” she said.

Based on the petroleum pump price monitoring covering Iloilo and Bacolod cities provided to members of the RTWPB, the cost of diesel rose from P42.40 per liter as of Dec. 17, 2010 to P52 as of April 26, this year.

For gasoline, the price increased from P52.95 to P62.43 per liter in Bacolod City during the same period.

In Iloilo, the average price of P45.65 per liter of kerosene in December 2010 increased to P54.65 last April. (PNA)

Western Visayas economic planners endorse P23-B expanded railway project

ILOILO CITY -- The Regional Development Council (RDC) of Western Visayas has approved the expanded Panay railway rehabilitation project, and is set to endorse it to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), an RDC official said here recently.

The project, which was initially supposed to just rehabilitate the existing Panay railway system, now aims to extend the line in order to shorten travel time on the island.

Upon completion in 2015, the line will link Iloilo City to Caticlan, gateway to Boracay Island.

Project cost has also increased to P23 billion from the original P16 billion due to the extension.

The RDC how hopes the National Government will include the project in its list of priority projects to be undertaken under the public-private partnership program.

The original proposal, which was approved by regional planners and offered under the build-operate-transfer scheme in 2009, was to rehabilitate the 117-kilometer Iloilo-Roxas (Capiz) line.

Erlinda B. Chua, officer-in-charge of the NEDA-Western Visayas Project Monitoring and Evaluation Division, said in a phone interview that the revised proposal was approved by the RDC during its quarterly meeting last April 16.

Ms. Chua said the project is now being evaluated again by NEDA’s Investment Coordination Committee, which will decide whether to endorse it to the NEDA Board -- which is led by President Benigno S. C. Aquino III -- for final approval, due to the changes in design and mode of implementation.

"At present, it is under review by the Investment Coordination Committee. After NEDA’s final approval, it will be endorsed to the Department of Transportation and Communications for publication of the project bidding [details]," she added.

Cesar S. Capellan, Panay Railways, Inc. (PRI) officer-in-charge, said the new plan has two phases.

The first phase covers the rehabilitation of the 117-kilometer line from Iloilo City to Roxas City at a cost of P16 billion.

The P7-billion second phase involves the extension of the line from Roxas City to Caticlan port.

New routes will be opened from Ungka, Jaro to the new Iloilo airport in Cabatuan-Sta. Barbara and from Ungka, Jaro to Loboc International Port.

Its main terminals will be in Jaro, Iloilo City; Passi City, Iloilo; as well as Dao, Capiz and Brgy. Lauan, Roxas City. Secondary terminals will be in Sta. Barbara, New Lucena, Pototan, Dueñas, all in Iloilo and in Dumarao, Capiz.

Trains will stop for 10 minutes at each terminal to load and unload passengers.

The railway is seen to cut travel time from Iloilo to Roxas City to one hour from the usual four hours on board a bus or passenger van.

"The new railway system is better than the previous one because it will be using a combination of locomotive engine with the backup of an electric motor," Mr. Capellan said. "It will have air-conditioned coaches that can accommodate 200 passengers per coach," he added.

Mr. Capellan said five companies from South Korea, Japan, China and Canada and Europe have expressed interest in participating in the first phase of the project.

"If we push through, we can see the whole project operational by 2015," he said.

At the same time, Mr. Capellan said PRI has arranged with local government units to provide financial assistance to families who will be displaced by the project. There are about 6,000 houses along the tracks from Iloilo to Roxas City that will be affected by the project.

"Likewise, we have tapped the Gawad Kalinga villages to accommodate the relocatees [sic]," Mr. Capellan added. -- Francis Allan L. Angelo

it was not owned yet by MEG before, it was owned by Fil Estate which was also bought last year by MEG's mother company, AGI. so siguro subong lang sila ga agresibo marketing. They want to rival Ali's presence in Iloilo.

so that is why we are really blessed because of the BIG MAN, Senator Frank! I just worry pag wala na sya pano na lang Iloilo,i think we can't find other Ilonggo politician who really has the BIG HEART like him for Iloilo except of course Mayor JPM or perhaps Cong. JPT...tani may gina train na sila nga manunubli sang ila nga trono nga mag sunod man sang footsteps nila to leave a BIG MARK in the history of Iloilo's development. Ilonggo's should be smarter this time, we cannot afford to choose someone who'll govern us backwardly again. We've been there already and we better be vigilant from that bitter lesson.

City embarks on executive legislative agenda
Tuesday, May 10, 2011


THE Iloilo City Government conducted a one-day seminar workshop Tuesday on the Executive Legislative Agenda (ELA), which aims to strengthen development projects in the city for the next two years.

The seminar is in cooperation with the Department of Interior and Local Government, Canadian Urban Institute and selected non-government organizations (NGOs).


Vice Mayor Jose Espinosa III said the ELA is expected to prioritize the functions of both executive and legislative branches of the local government for a harmonious approach to projects for the next 730 days of their election term.


Participants include all city councilors and ex-officio members of the City Council, representatives of regional and city DILG offices, selected City Government department heads and NGOs.

The output will be collected to become the basis for concrete legislative and executive actions and to set the goals of the City Council on proposed priority local laws and joint action of the executive branch.

Espinosa said the ELA is the third to be conducted in the city, the first was being conducted during the term of former city mayor and now Congressman Jerry P. Treñas and the second during the first-year term of current city mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog.

The workshop was based on four important topics and sectoral groupings based on committee chairmanship of the City Council. These include the Good Governance Sector with the City Council committees on appropriations and ways and means chaired by City Councilor Perla Zulueta; rules ordinances, resolution style, justice and legal affairs chaired by City Councilor Joshua Alim; good government and public accountability chaired by City Councilor Jason Gonzales; urban planning, housing and development, zoning, expropriation, assessment and land acquisition chaired by City Councilor Edward Yee; and moral recovery chaired by Alim.

The Social Development Sector is composed of the committees on health sanitation and hospital services, cooperative and livelihood, games amusement and professional sports chaired by City Councilor Lyndon Acap; police and fire, penology, public safety, order and security, dangerous drugs and rehabilitation, urban, poor, human rights and minority groups by Alim; transportation, energy and public utilities chaired by City Councilor RLeonie Gerochi; education, science and technology, women and family relations chaired by city councilor Plaridel Nava II; social services and disaster relief chaired by City Councilor Rodel Agado; veterans retirees, elderly and disabled persons chaired by City Councilor Jeffrey Ganzon; barangay affairs and community development chaired by City Councilor Roberto Divinagracia; and youth and sports development by Sheen Marie Mabilog.

Economic Development Sector is composed of committees on engineering, construction and public works chaired by Gerochi; markets and slaughterhouse chaired by Agado; trade, commerce and industry, tourism, culture and historical affairs, information technology and computerization chaired by City Councilor Nielex Tupas; labor, employment, manpower and development placement by Nava II; communication and public information chaired by City Councilor David Raymund Jamora; and agriculture, fisheries, aquatic and natural resources chaired by Yee and City Councilor Ely Estante Jr.

Re: Iloilo City Sports Complex, according kay Mayor(sa mga interviews niya) daw indi ni siya ya bala Football stadium...daw Gymnasium/Convention center...para daw may dako nga convention center sa Iloilo nga maka cater pa gid sang "indoor" sports events...pero basi nag change man ila mind...diba gin suggest ni Alcazaren kay Sen Frank ang Football stadium in honor of Paulino Alcantara...anyway, grabe another 250 Million from our Senator...bago lang gani hatag sang 200 Million for the Esplanade and other projects may ara na naman...
:banana::banana::banana:

Palangga gid kita ni Toto Frank...:cheers:

^^
Palangga gid. That is why he is a proud son of Iloilo.

RE ICSC--- I see so daw ala Araneta Coliseum/Ynares Center gle nga style ina. Pwede sa Sports, Conventions, Graduation etc. Tani aside from that our good Senator Frank Drilon together with Mayor JPM and Cong. JPT can lobby for a FIFA Standards Football Stadium. Amo lang na ya akon ginapangabay. Hopefully by 2013 kung 2 na ka-distrito ang Iloilo City kag may 2 na ka Congressman nga gapungko mas maayo kay mas dako na ang budget or pork barrel, basi pa lang ma push through ang ginahandom naton nga Football Stadium in Honor of Paulino Alcantra. :D

quote ko lng from news article:

"Drilon continues to use his clout to get more resources for the project"

^^
Amo na ya dapat. :okay:

dugay na ni, una pa gani ni sa Green Meadows sang Sta. Lucia sa Pavia bala mo. LAst i inquire and that was i think more than a year ago daw more than 50% sold out na ni sila te ambot subong kon ano na.

^^
I see. Salamat gid. I have no idea that they are already constructing the amenities etc and 50% sold out? Wow! Maayo ah. :okay:

so that is why we are really blessed because of the BIG MAN, Senator Frank! I just worry pag wala na sya pano na lang Iloilo,i think we can't find other Ilonggo politician who really has the BIG HEART like him for Iloilo except of course Mayor JPM or perhaps Cong. JPT...tani may gina train na sila nga manunubli sang ila nga trono nga mag sunod man sang footsteps nila to leave a BIG MARK in the history of Iloilo's development. Ilonggo's should be smarter this time, we cannot afford to choose someone who'll govern us backwardly again. We've been there already and we better be vigilant from that bitter lesson.

^^
Perhaps Cong. JPT will fill his shoes or even Mayor JPM. Lately, Cong. Neil 'Junjun' Tupas Jr is making waves in the national scene. He might be elected a senator someday.

Hopefully Inday Miriam will pour projects in Iloilo too. Or she can give/add financial support to proposed projects by Sen. Drilon. Besides she authored the Bill: Iloilo Economic Zone... we will wait for updates regarding that. For sure, that will be one of her legacy for Iloilo.

Western Visayas economic planners endorse P23-B expanded railway project (http://www.bworldonline.com/content.php?section=Economy&title=Western-Visayas-economic-planners-endorse-P23-B-expanded-railway-project&id=31102)

ILOILO CITY -- The Regional Development Council (RDC) of Western Visayas has approved the expanded Panay railway rehabilitation project, and is set to endorse it to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), an RDC official said here recently.

The project, which was initially supposed to just rehabilitate the existing Panay railway system, now aims to extend the line in order to shorten travel time on the island.

Upon completion in 2015, the line will link Iloilo City to Caticlan, gateway to Boracay Island.

Project cost has also increased to P23 billion from the original P16 billion due to the extension.

The RDC how hopes the National Government will include the project in its list of priority projects to be undertaken under the public-private partnership program.

The original proposal, which was approved by regional planners and offered under the build-operate-transfer scheme in 2009, was to rehabilitate the 117-kilometer Iloilo-Roxas (Capiz) line.

Erlinda B. Chua, officer-in-charge of the NEDA-Western Visayas Project Monitoring and Evaluation Division, said in a phone interview that the revised proposal was approved by the RDC during its quarterly meeting last April 16.

Ms. Chua said the project is now being evaluated again by NEDA’s Investment Coordination Committee, which will decide whether to endorse it to the NEDA Board -- which is led by President Benigno S. C. Aquino III -- for final approval, due to the changes in design and mode of implementation.

"At present, it is under review by the Investment Coordination Committee. After NEDA’s final approval, it will be endorsed to the Department of Transportation and Communications for publication of the project bidding [details]," she added.

Cesar S. Capellan, Panay Railways, Inc. (PRI) officer-in-charge, said the new plan has two phases.

The first phase covers the rehabilitation of the 117-kilometer line from Iloilo City to Roxas City at a cost of P16 billion.

The P7-billion second phase involves the extension of the line from Roxas City to Caticlan port.

New routes will be opened from Ungka, Jaro to the new Iloilo airport in Cabatuan-Sta. Barbara and from Ungka, Jaro to Loboc International Port.

Its main terminals will be in Jaro, Iloilo City; Passi City, Iloilo; as well as Dao, Capiz and Brgy. Lauan, Roxas City. Secondary terminals will be in Sta. Barbara, New Lucena, Pototan, Dueñas, all in Iloilo and in Dumarao, Capiz.

Trains will stop for 10 minutes at each terminal to load and unload passengers.

The railway is seen to cut travel time from Iloilo to Roxas City to one hour from the usual four hours on board a bus or passenger van.

"The new railway system is better than the previous one because it will be using a combination of locomotive engine with the backup of an electric motor," Mr. Capellan said. "It will have air-conditioned coaches that can accommodate 200 passengers per coach," he added.

Mr. Capellan said five companies from South Korea, Japan, China and Canada and Europe have expressed interest in participating in the first phase of the project.

"If we push through, we can see the whole project operational by 2015," he said.

At the same time, Mr. Capellan said PRI has arranged with local government units to provide financial assistance to families who will be displaced by the project. There are about 6,000 houses along the tracks from Iloilo to Roxas City that will be affected by the project.

"Likewise, we have tapped the Gawad Kalinga villages to accommodate the relocatees [sic]," Mr. Capellan added. -- Francis Allan L. Angelo

Football: NCR Team B advances to PFF Suzuki Cup semis
Source:http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=&nid=5&rid=345628

LOS BANOS, Laguna, May 10 (PNA) -- A National Capital Region (NCR) team made a grand exit from the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) Zuzuki competition while its brother team put on a fiery display of offensive might to put them in a position to advance to the next stage of the competition.

NCR Team A as coached by Anto Gonzales showed what they could do given enough time and preparation as they sent host team Laguna packing 3-0 over at the University of the Philippines-Los Baños pitch.

It was a king-sized upset considering that NCR was opening day 7-0 loser to Iloilo and on the business end of a 4-nil thrashing by Davao in the second day of the Group A quarterfinals of the PFF Suzuki U-23 National Cup.

Laguna, in the meantime, drew 2-2 with Davao and 1-1 with Iloilo. A win, especially by a huge margin, would have been enough to send them through.

Unfortunately, they were overconfident while NCR played with a purpose and a cohesiveness not seen in the first two matches.

Greggy Yang opened the scoring for NCR with a set piece that beat Davao keeper RS Mantos in the 7th minute. Arturo Enriquez added a second in the 34th minute while striker Anton Amistoso closed out the scoring in the 67th minute.

Iloilo topped Group A with a 4-1 win over Davao which finished second in the group and will also advance to the semifinals that will be played in Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo next weekend.

Over at Panaad Stadium, Bacolod, NCR Team B crushed Dipolog, 6-0. Striker Ojay Clarino broke out of his two-match funk by scoring his side’s first four goals.

That included a virtuoso move in the 32nd minute by the UST striker who went through and around five Dipolog defenders before sending the ball past goalkeeper Rizziel Villaespin.

Clarino later assisted fellow forward Don Rabaya who scored his second goal of the tournament.

Clarino added a second half goal in the 54th minute to complete the rout.

NCR had complete control of the midfield as Yannick Tuason, Nikko Villa, Stephen Permanes, and Jay Eusebio stymied all Dipolog incursions. And that led to the first half feeding frenzy.

Dipolog, which placed second in the Mindanao regionals, was dealt a bad hand when four of their best players were unable to join them in Bacolod.

As it was during their game against Bacolod (that resulted in an 8-1 drubbing), the charges of English coach Reginald Jukes played better in the second half as they allowed only one goal while manufacturing four decent scoring chances, including one strike that whizzed past keeper Patrick Deyto only to hit the second post.

“Happens all the time,” lamented Jukes. “But we’re learning something.”

As of presstime, Bacolod, the first team to qualify for the semifinals, was playing Masbate. (PNA)

Iloilo-Negros Air Express Co.
In the mid 1920s, the Philippines was considered as an important stopover for international flights, especially those originating from Europe. Pioneer flights from Italy and Germany were made to pass through the Philippines in order to reach their final destination.

A leading shipping magnate, Eugenio Lopez, after establishing land and sea transport services, formed the island's first Filipino-owned commercial airline on 3 February, 1933.

Lopez saw the future in air transportation following a visit to Indonesia. Up until that time, the closest thing to a domestic airline in the Philippines was an air ferry service called Philippine Air Taxi Corporation or PATCO. It was largely involved in servicing the requirements of the American-owned mining companies, occasionally carrying passengers and mail. The planes were spartan, small and rugged and passenger comfort was not a priority.

In 1932, just four years after Pan American Airways was founded, Lopez established the Iloilo Negros Air Express Company or INAEC. He purchased a pair of former American Airlines Stinson Trimotors (a ten passenger plane that has proven itself as a workhorse). The planes featured plush upholstered seats, reading lamps, a comfort room and air conditioning. These amenities were unheard of in those days. Two American pilots were hired to fly the service on the Iloilo-Bacolod and Iloilo-Manila routes. It soon added Cebu, Davao and Zamoboanga.

INAEC later operated their service flying Sikorsky S-43 amphibians.

Despite pressure from American interests to buy out the airline, Lopez reamined in firm control of the service until the outbreak of war.


Kabay gid nga madayun

At the Heart of the Nation

My memories of your old view
As fresh as your looks that are new
A passion that will never fade
In colored times and decades staid
You are known by your tranquil pride
Like that of a contented bride
Though life’s deluge on you may fall
You still stand up and you stand tall
Your golden age was made of sugar
That sweetened past made you prosper
It made you sit on a queen’s chair
A glorious reign without an heir
As surely as the sun will rise
This nation always eats your rice
The harvest of your farmers’ toil
Land of sweet tongue and gentle soil
Your watermark good, old batchoy
Brings renewed gastronomic joy
The warmth of your pancit molo
Delightful charms shared and solo
Occasioned by the most and least
Is your tribal Dinagyang feast
Your yearly Paraw Regatta
A voyage to sea nostalgia
District feasts that honor a saint
A blessed life is what they paint
Saving for festive indulgence
Scotch with one time extravagance
Your hip and slick jeepney designs
Make trips down heritage goldmines
Whose highest points are soon eclipsed
By your rebirth that firmly grips
The waking of your long, deep slumber
With dreams for a better future
That digs to unearth your lost past
With deep foundations built to last
Longer than your river’s old verse
Narrating waves of world commerce
That docked and left your storied shores
Treasures that steered your old world course
Whose glitter is slowly being found
In new heights rising from your ground
That aims to line a higher sky
And take your dreams to a new high
Heart of the nation facing west
My sunrise as well as my rest
The earth and province of my birth
Always is the world of my mirth
My home! My love! Iloilo!
Your future today I once saw.

Injap turns over college to City Hall

THE almost-finished community college building funded by the Injap Foundation, Inc. was turned over to the city government through a memorandum of agreement signed Monday at the Iloilo City Hall.

P10M rehab for Jaro Plaza
By Lydia C. Pendon

THE P10-million rehabilitation and renovation of the Jaro Plaza in Iloilo City will begin before this year ends.

Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog said Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri promised the P10 million from his priority development assistance fund (PDAF) to fund the rehabilitation of the historical plaza.

Ilonggo architect Rudolfo Depatillo designed the five main areas for renovation aimed to expand and facelift the plaza.

Jaro is the seat of the Roman Catholic archdiocese and the plaza is located in front of the Jaro Cathedral and the Archbishop’s Palace.

Mabilog said the renovation design includes a perimeter walkway and fence restoration, covered gym extension and renovation, sunken garden and waterfall, kids playground and entrance arch.

These new projects will be on top of the existing facilities inside the plaza such as the bandstand, skating rink, Graciano Lopez Jaena Park, Jose Rizal Park, flower garden and aviary.

for my pleasure and mental masturbations, my statement for the day is this:
any reactions welcome..

sa back reading ko dri..tatlo ka adlaw wala ako syado online..
regarding sa Iloilo City's soil capacity to handle skyscrapers in the near future, i think its preposterous for the skeptics to question a design if he or she or it doesn't have the background to ask as such, not unless you are an expert structural engineer or a veteran architect. i'll live it at that..
if it's not your forte better not criticize basi ma"wallop" ka lang...

we lack hotels and convention facilities, businessmen here knows it, all gov't regional agencies knows it, professional organizations knows it.

now if we put the icings like the theme park and tourist friendly facilities,
the recipe is almost perfect..the cake? the hotel and the convention centers.
so what do we got? what target market are we after? are your recipe and your ingredients ready? are your utensils and your oven ready?

if you want to held your conventions complete with clean and family oriented fun, go to Iloilo City..
if you want to have your conventions complete with casino and cheap girlie bars, you know where to go..
we really couldn't have it all.. its a choice we have got to make. and be clear about it...

there is no such thing as absolute, even the Lord gave you freedom of choice.
cities will always have prostitutes, even in biblical times..
but its a barometer how society works.

Mr. Smith: I have a wonderful time going to Iloilo City, next time, I'll bring my kids and my wife..
Mr. Anderson: or Im f_cked! i lost all my money in the casino...and where the hell is that B-tch? and my cellphone? and my laptop? and my watch?...

Uygongco Foundation, public schools ink pact

THE Uygongco Foundation Inc. (UFI) signed an agreement with several public elementary and high schools in Panay islands in a simple ceremony Tuesday.

Ma. Pia Paz Gan-Uygongco, UFI executive director, said the agreement aims to provide assistance to education for poor and disadvantaged children, as well as their school beneficiaries.

The project consists of training program for teachers, school facilities improvement program, alternative learning system program, free instructional materials and career and industry talks for high schools. It also provides technical and livelihood trainings to parents.

The foundation also conducts daily feeding programs for selected elementary schools aside from the financial assistance program through scholarships.

Uygongco said the project is part of UFI's commitment under its "Adopting Schools in La Filipina Uy Gongco Corp. (LFUGC) Communities" project in support of the Department of Education (DepEd), which it initiated since 2008.

Meanwhile, beneficiary schools shall identifying the needs of students, training needs of teachers and the facilities and instructional materials for improvement of the school, as well as choose 40 scholars or beneficiaries for the project. They are also encouraged to provide a venue for cooking and feeding beneficiaries.

UFI signed the agreement on Tuesday with the principal and school heads of Buntatala National High School in Leganes, Fort San Pedro National High School in Iloilo City, Jordan National High School in Guimaras, and Cabugcabug National High School in President Roxas, Capiz.

The agreement is also signed with the Bo. Obrero Elementary School, Hibao-an Elementary School, Ingore Elementary School, Jalandoni Elementary School, Rizal Elementary School in Iloilo City, as well as Jordan Central Elementary School in Guimaras, and President Roxas Elementary School in Capiz.

UFI also signed an agreement with the Bo. Obrero Day Care Center and Mansaya Day Care Center in Iloilo City.

Gabriel Pintor, principal of Rizal Elementary School in Iloilo City, said they are "overwhelmed with the help of the UFI to the scholars and the school."

This is the first time that the Rizal Elementary School is a beneficiary school of the foundation, he added.

Junifer Alejandra III, principal of Pres. Roxas Elementary School in Capiz, said the foundation has been supporting 40 scholars in their school for the three consecutive years. This is aside from the educational equipments, such as television sets, DVDs and schools supplies, every year.

The UFI is the social responsibility arm of the La Filipina Uy Gongco Corporation.

he has sworn before the altar of God that he will sue the mayor if the latter pushes through of his planned P260M additional interior design and other expenses.

now, invoking the name of God by someone who himself, uses foul language with impunity to people he doesn't sit well with, is only displaying blasphemy.

mr ynion, don't just swear. act on your complaints if you really are concerned with the people's welfare. an overkill of bad publicity and propaganda on your part had been the long running political teleserye. if this crusade of yours is really not tainted with politics, formally file a court complaint and let the accounting books be opened.

using tearjerker words describing your supposed genuine concern for iloilo is fodder for those zombie masses who will fall under the spell of your Goebbels-like black propaganda. but i doubt if you could easily ram that down the throats of many who have a healthy skepticism of your too-good-to-be-true intentions.

file your complaint and let a no non-sense investigations begin. this is way better than your saccharine-laced exhortations for justice that are nothing more than indirect glorifications of yourself.

SM proposes P2.5B complex in Negros (http://thedailyguardian.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24168&Itemid=97)

Hans T. Sy, president of the SM Prime Holdings, Inc., Gov. Alfredo G. Maranon, Jr. and Jeffrey C. Lim, EVP and CFO of SM Prime Holdings, Inc. discuss plans for P2.5-billion commercial complex. (Capitol/PIO/photo)

By Dolly Yasa

BACOLOD CITY – The SM group submitted its plan for a P2.5-billion convention center and commercial complex to be established on a provincial government lot Negros Occidental Governor Alfredo Marañon Tuesday.

Hans Sy, son of SM magnate Henry Sy, visited the governor along with Rep. Albee Benitez (3rd District, Neg. Occ) at the provincial capitol.

Sy told reporters that they envision a convention center good with a capacity of 3,000-3,500 persons and two hotels that can accommodate 200 persons and will be surrounded with a commercial complex.

Sy said the proposed project is still subject to negotiation, particularly the lot which would either be purchased or acquired through a lease agreement with the provincial government.

He said the project will take off in six months after the negotiations.

Sy brought with him technical persons to explain their proposal.

The site being eyed for the project is a six-hectare government property located at the reclamation area.

Marañon said the property will be evaluated for its value.

He said government offices in the said area will be transferred and the remaining squatters will be relocated.

Maranon stressed that while Sy’s investments will be advantageous to the city, the provincial government will also benefit from it.

care to share the PM?

Iloilo mayor willing to listen to friends' advice

ILOILO City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog admitted he is willing to listen to advice from friends and other persons, but will not allow any private person to dictate him what direction to take for the city.

Although identifying businessman Rommel Ynion as a friend, Mabilog said Ynion is a private citizen who cannot dictate him what to do for the city.

Ynion is reportedly criticizing Mabilog on the recent new city hall construction, saying it is overpriced, with unnecessary design revisions.

Ynion is currently in the United States, but Mabilog said he is going to talk to the businessman upon his return from travel.

Mabilog pointed out that he is not a member of the bids and awards committee and will not do any shortcut on the project.

"One thing I can assure the people of Iloilo City is that I have no kickbacks as alleged, and the new city hall will be completed as planned to become the pride of the people in the city," he said. (Lydia C. Pendon)

Azkals to play in Iloilo

By Tara Yap

THE Azkals are coming to Iloilo.

Mariano “Nonong” Araneta Jr., president of the Philippine Football Federation (PFF), told The Daily Guardian that the famed national football team will be here May 23-24 for an exhibition game.

“It is more of a practice match,” Araneta said.

The Philippine Azkals is currently undergoing training for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, which is slated June and July.

The Azkals will face Sri Lanka in a two-leg qualifying match. The first game will be held in Sri Lanka on June 29 and at Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila on July 3.

The Azkals will show Ilonggos their collective strength and agility as they will play against the CPU International Football Team in Barotac Nuevo on May 24.

HOMECOMING

Even though the majority of the Azkals are Ilonggos, this will be the first time the team will play in Iloilo after its storied run in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Challenge Cup.

Ilonggo players in the team include co-captain Emilio “Chieffy” Caligdong, striker Ian Araneta, Mark Ferrer, Joebel Bermejo, Nestorio Margase, Roel Gener, Yanti Barsales, and Richard Becite III.

Araneta said it was Iloilo 4th District Rep. Ferj Biron who asked if the Azkals could play in Barotac Nuevo, considered as the Philippine football capital.

Araneta is urging the Ilonggos to watch and support the national team.

“We should rally behind them and be proud that majority of them are Ilonggos,” Araneta said.

The Azkals will arrive in Iloilo on May 23 and will hold a half-day practice in the town of Sta. Barbara before playing in Barotac Nuevo.

Electric jeeps getting more popular with riding public


ILOILO City – This city’s electric jeepneys (e-jeeps) are now one of the most in-demand modes of transportation in the metropolis since it started operating last month.

Motorpool Division chief Engr. Johnny Daniel said the e-jeeps were able to service a total of 3,669 passengers for 219 trips from April 27 to May 3.

A total of 183 passengers were served by four e-jeeps that made 99 trips from April 27 to 29.

They ferried 82 senior citizens, 81 pupils and 20 guardians/nannies.

The big bulk of passengers were registered during the two-day transport holiday here on May 2 and 3 with a total of 2,486 passengers for 120 trips.

Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog said the e-jeeps were really a big help to stranded commuters.

All 10 e-jeeps were deployed to give free rides for the duration of the transport strike.

Meanwhile, aside from their regular transport operation, the e-jeeps are also most requested by Ilonggos when they have activities that need transportation within the city.

Visitors likewise get the chance to ride in the vehicles whenever they want to tour the metropolis, upon request from the city government.

During regular weekdays, the e-jeeps give free rides to senior citizens and public elementary school pupils with proper identification.

They go around two designated routes in the City Proper area, traveling from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday. (LMS, Iloilo City PIO/PN)

UPV’S DIWATA SHORE

THE Diwata Shore, a sort of big aquarium, has started to take shape in the University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV) Miag-ao Campus. It will display for public viewing various kinds of salt water and fresh water fishes because UPV’s focus is on fisheries.
The proposed project costs P72 million. The initial fund of P15 million comes from the Banat Partylist of Cong. Salvador “Buddy” Britanico who worked tirelessly to bring UPV to Iloilo.
The Diwata Shore’s construction started on the last week of April thru the efforts of Cong Buddy, Mayor Juliet Flroes of Miag-ao, Provincial Board member Gerry Flores and the good people of Miag-ao.

After that, kung may ara counterpart bill sa House, both the senate and house bills will be reconciled in the bicameral committee. =)

After ma fully develop ang megaworld property, this proposed special economic zone will be the next big thing that will continue to propel growth in Iloilo. =)

The difference is, this time around, the investments will be about manufacturing, nor services. =)

Wrong post....sorry my bad

Magkasinlaki ba or mas malaki pa sa Bacolod na expansion? Ito ung balita sa kanila.

Let's put it this way, whatever will be the final design is a product of countless days and nights of studies and restudies as what will the current short term,mid term and long term market requires and some additional concepts as projected by the study.

It's a win-win situation if you really ask me, that means the region as a whole is economically expanding..grasya sang iban grasya sang tanan.

If I put it bluntly, Iloilo City's economy could not stand alone, she needs her municipalities and closest SISTER City. and vice versa...but telling how fluid our system works..you never know.

for example, without citing some of our banking sector OPSEC. Both cities are harmoniously benefiting from each others strengths.

if you ask me how? I'll tell you but I have to kill yah! :nuts:

you hit it right @ 4th, the bigger it will be means that there's a market for it. We're glad that both cities will have future expansions of SMs.(It's good news for the Ilonggo economy or isn't?). :)

But for me though, I still prefer factories for job security of our fellow ilonggos, and I think that will be realized soon.:)

Megaworld sets foundation for BPO triangle hub
BY ALBERT CASTRO

Andrew Tan-led Megaworld Corp. is setting the stage for the development of its business process outsourcing (BPO) "triangle" hub following the groundbreaking last week for the development of its Iloilo Business Park project, complementing the company’s office-space developments in Metro Manila and a similarly-planned development in Cebu Province.

Conceptualized in 2007, the plan took a lull for several years until last week’s groundbreaking.

The 54.5-hectare Iloilo project will initially have Richmonde Hotel/Tower as locator. Richmonde will be a combination of hotel and office building complex with a retail component which will be completed by the latter part of next year, the company said.

"The Iloilo Business Park is an important component of the BPO triangle I am envisioning that will make the Philippines an exciting and thriving BPO destination worldwide," said Tan, chairman of Megaworld.

Tan said this is the second leg of the BPO triangle.

Another project, the one in Cebu is yet to be formally launched.

Magaworld has set aside a 5,000 sq.m. development for an office space in the 25-hectare property near Shangri-La Resort Hotel in Mactan, Cebu.

"The Iloilo Business Park marks the second leg of our BPO triangle after our two cyberparks in Metro Manila, with the final leg to be launched in the next few years. Together, these will give BPO investors strong prospects not just based on location but the human resource component as well. Early on, we decided to launch our BPO presence (in Iloilo) considering that Ilonggos naturally have a pleasant vocal tone, are highly educated and are very hardworking," Tan said.

Both the Iloilo and Cebu properties were acquired by Megaworld in 2007.

Metro Manila is the apex of the BPO hub triangle.

The property used to be the site of an airport that Megaworld bought for P1.2 billion from the government through an auction.

Part of the company’s plan is to turn the area into a central business district in Iloilo, with BPO offices, office buildings, educational facilities, residential projects, a hotel, a convention center as well as retail and recreational areas.

The Iloilo Business Park was granted a certification by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority as an information technology (IT) park in January this year, ensuring BPO locators at Richmonde Tower perks such as income tax holidays, duty-free importation of office equipment and repatriation of earnings, among others.

At 54.5 hectares, Iloilo Business Park is the largest IT park yet of Megaworld.

Megaworld said it will be initially spend P2.5 billion for the Iloilo project which will be used to develop road network and finance the initial construction.

The 12-story Richmonde Hotel will host 90 guest rooms, ranging from superior rooms to junior suites.

Its seventh level amenities deck features play amenities such as a lap pool, children’s pool and fitness center, while the business center on the same level will include meeting rooms and a conference room.

Richmonde Hotel Iloilo is the third project of Megaworld under this hotel brand. The hotel is projected to serve businessmen and tourists who flock annually to witness Iloilo City’s historic and colorful festivals.

The Richmonde Tower meanwhile will occupy the second to sixth floors of the hotel, offering more than 9,000 square meters of prime office space for BPO locators. Both projects are slated for completion within the next two years.

Kingson Sian, executive director of Megaworld at the time of the unveiling of the BPO hub triangle said they were already talking with potential locators.

In Cebu, Megaworld is eyeing to spend P2.5 billion as initial outlay to develop the property.

The office space market continues to be dominated by offshore and outsourcing industry (O&O) which due to the attractiveness of lower wages in countries like the Philippines and the need to cut cost have encouraged companies to send their back-office operations offshore. This drove the need for office space in the Philippines which after the last economic crisis has yet to strongly pick up like in the mid-2000.

After initially locating in prime areas in Manila, these firms have trained their sites on second tier cities for their talent pool as well as lower rental rate, benefitting Megaworld’s push to have BPO hubs in areas like Iloilo and Cebu.

Property consultant Jones Lang La Salle said that given the projected growth of the BPO industry in the next couple of years, a deficit in supply starting late this year is expected. Between 2008 and 2014, an estimated 2.02 million sq.m. of new space is expected to have come on stream.

Demand, however, is seen at 75,000 sq.m. per quarter, or 300,000 a year.

Within three years, supply will take a dip with office space for this year seen to reach only 279,587 sq.m. and 163,313 sq.m. next year, and even lower by 2013 at 141,387 sq.m.

By 2013 and 2014, there is an expected deficit of "close to 100,000," (sq.m.) the consultancy firm said.

Most of Megaworld’s office space developments are in Metro Manila, notably in township projects like Eastwood Libis, McKinley Hill, and Newport City.

I really hope after we stabilize our utilities we start enticing investors aggressively with vigor and dynamism.

here is my lists:

a Shipyard can be realized.. it's not necessarily in Iloilo city or in Metro Iloilo but somewhere North..with proximity to the Concepcion Power Plant

a car assembly plant somewhere in Dumangas-Zarraga-Leganes with road access to our Intl Port

a food processing facility in central Iloilo, direct access to the Roxas-Iloilo train rail links

a textile manufacturing complex somewhere in San Joaquin-Miagao-Guimbal
"future export processing Zone"

and more:

direct chatered flight from Iloilo airport to Caticlan as well as Bacolod- Caticlan of Lopez's airline

a direct fast ferry service from Iloilo City to Boracay

and little more:

inspired by Roxas City's Innovation making their plazas WIFI hotspot
I am proposing that next year's Dinagyang Festivals performance routes and staging areas to be wifi hotspot!!and so is our food festivals!!
imagine the tweets and online video streamings!! the FB shout outs! Man that would be great! marketing tools!!

Azkals to play in Iloilo

By Tara Yap

THE Azkals are coming to Iloilo.

Mariano “Nonong” Araneta Jr., president of the Philippine Football Federation (PFF), told The Daily Guardian that the famed national football team will be here May 23-24 for an exhibition game.

“It is more of a practice match,” Araneta said.

The Philippine Azkals is currently undergoing training for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, which is slated June and July.

The Azkals will face Sri Lanka in a two-leg qualifying match. The first game will be held in Sri Lanka on June 29 and at Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila on July 3.

The Azkals will show Ilonggos their collective strength and agility as they will play against the CPU International Football Team in Barotac Nuevo on May 24.

HOMECOMING

Even though the majority of the Azkals are Ilonggos, this will be the first time the team will play in Iloilo after its storied run in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Challenge Cup.

Ilonggo players in the team include co-captain Emilio “Chieffy” Caligdong, striker Ian Araneta, Mark Ferrer, Joebel Bermejo, Nestorio Margase, Roel Gener, Yanti Barsales, and Richard Becite III.

Araneta said it was Iloilo 4th District Rep. Ferj Biron who asked if the Azkals could play in Barotac Nuevo, considered as the Philippine football capital.

Araneta is urging the Ilonggos to watch and support the national team.

“We should rally behind them and be proud that majority of them are Ilonggos,” Araneta said.

The Azkals will arrive in Iloilo on May 23 and will hold a half-day practice in the town of Sta. Barbara before playing in Barotac Nuevo.

Open skies, what’s that?

Developing Iloilo City (http://iloilonewstoday.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1471:developing-iloilo-city&catid=113:jed-patrick-mabilog&Itemid=475)

Iloilo City is a metropolis in constant metamorphosis. Its position as the main gateway to business and tourism hot spots in Western Visayas promises so much for its future growth and appearance.

Iloilo City, too, has a unique character as a city of great attraction and potential – a potential that many investors and tourists now are just beginning to discover. This unique character is important as a basis for the city’s development. But the attractiveness also demands good conditions for business and visitors, for housing, for cultural events, for national and regional events, for elite gatherings and conventions.

As the City Mayor, one of my tasks is to find ways to sustain the city’s development and create conducive conditions for investments. While doing these, I must preserve and strengthen our unique character as a flourishing population center.

That Iloilo City is an attractive investment site in Western Visayas in information and communication technology, tourism, agribusiness and in many other fronts is without question. In fact, the city’s current development tack leans towards enticing more investments here.

Let us look at some current developments.

The wide area from the Kapideco (Kauturan Pison Development Corporation) Estate to the Megaworld property (old Mandurriao airport site) is fancied as Iloilo City’s next Central Business District. The area, located in Barangays Tabucan and San Rafael in Mandurriao, will soon be a beehive of activity after the Megaworld groundbreaking slated today. The Kapideco Estate is also home to Ateneo de Iloilo’s new campus.

The recently completed Plazuela de Iloilo of the Florete Group is a commercial development located in a 12,533 square meter lot beside SM City Iloilo. The project includes a commercial strip with 8,600 gross leasable area and spaces for business process outsourcing firms like call centers.

Another planned development is revitalizing Calle Real, Iloilo City’s Central Business District. Calle Real, encompassing J.M. Basa and Iznart Streets, is the Central Business District’s seat of vitality. At last count, there are 18 heritage buildings in this area and we are inviting investors to help develop the area into a commercial and tourism center so it can accelerate economic resurgence in this once majestic landmark.

It is hard to think about Iloilo City’s development without thinking about developing the major access points between the city and Guimaras Province. From today, plans to build the Guimaras-Iloilo Ferry Terminal at the mouth of the Iloilo River are brewing.

Of course, we can’t have all these development going and then running government in a mall. The seat of the city government will migrate by August this year to the New Iloilo City Hall Building which is nearing completion. The eight-storey building will alter the skyline at the downtown area.

And while we eagerly await the August transfer, the INJAP Land Corporation’s 21- storey commercial and residential building at the corner of Jalandoni Street and Diversion Road in Mandurriao will open for business. It will have commercial units in the ground floor, multilevel parking and residential condo units. This new INJAP building will add to Iloilo City’s growing prominence as the nation’s next investment hub.

If Megaworld is here, can Ayala be far behind? Don’t bet on it.

In a recent statement, developer Ayala Land announced it is building a three-building complex in Iloilo City to house business process outsourcing firms. The announcement signals the continued interest of the land developer in growing office spaces in Iloilo City.

According to the Ayala statement, the first building in this BPO complex will incorporate retail at the ground floor and will be adjacent to the Smallville Business and Leisure Park and the Boardwalk Leisure Center. Ayala has reportedly secured Hinduja Global, one of India’s biggest BPO firms, for a 2,500-square-meter area in the BPO hub. Hinduja, one of our more recent investors, offers client servicing to Western firms engaged in insurance, telecommunications and consumer electronics.

There are also major projects amounting to P276 million outlined for Iloilo City this year to help us become more competitive and investment-friendly. The ones referred by Congressman Jerry P. Treñas to the DPWH for implementation include the Fort San Pedro seawall rehabilitation, Ticud Bridge construction, Diversion Road widening and Dungon Bridge rehabilitation, and the coastal road rehabilitation from La Paz district to Leganes.

Space, however, prevents us from enumerating all the planned and ongoing projects for developing Iloilo City. But one thing is certain, though. I strongly believe that developing Iloilo City is not just about government. It is also about every Ilonggo, every private and public organization and anyone else who plays a role and shares in the improvement. Getting involved is the cornerstone of our growth.

Developing a city is not just writing a plan now and then. It is more like everyday engagement in the advancement and design of our communities.

Open skies, what’s that?

Iloilo Gov. Arthur D. Defensor Sr. hesitates to clap his hands when asked for comment on the “open skies” policy adopted by the PNoy administration. His counterpart in the fake Queen City of the South, Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog, however, crows all over, clapping his hands and feet at the prospect.

sala man na sang mga local airline company, daw indi nila pag sweldohan ila empleyado kag wala man maayo nga expansion program kag... time for them to experience world class services anay, then, pullout ni pnoy ang open skies policy kung ready na mag bayad ang local airlines sang husto sa ila empleyado.

but for me, the gov't should protect local airlines, we know they can't compete with giant budget carriers from other countries. It is however (maybe) stated in the policy and guidelines (open skies policy) of how much an international airline will have on the number of passenger they would carry.:)

LAPSUS CALAMI

OVERPRICED CITY HALL A MORAL ISSUE
WE have no personal grudge against Mayor Jed.
The issue on the highly overpriced city hall building involves public interest. It is a moral issue that the people are so interested about. It is the people’s money.
For example, many people are asking: Is Mayor Jed a thief?
Frankly, we cannot answer that directly and brutally. But as a member of the press and voice of the people, we will continue to ask this legitimate question of the public.
For 25 years, the people of Iloilo will be bound to pay for the gargantuan loan that would reach almost P1 billion plus interest and other charges.
We pity the people who shoulder this quite heavy and painful burden. All because of the unquenchable greed of charlatans in government masquerading as good public servants.
Oh God, help us!

UPV’S DIWATA SHORE
THE Diwata Shore, a sort of big aquarium, has started to take shape in the University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV) Miag-ao Campus. It will display for public viewing various kinds of salt water and fresh water fishes because UPV’s focus is on fisheries.
The proposed project costs P72 million. The initial fund of P15 million comes from the Banat Partylist of Cong. Salvador “Buddy” Britanico who worked tirelessly to bring UPV to Iloilo.
The Diwata Shore’s construction started on the last week of April thru the efforts of Cong Buddy, Mayor Juliet Flroes of Miag-ao, Provincial Board member Gerry Flores and the good people of Miag-ao.

SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL
MANY are asking this section what happened to the former crusading members of the media who are now members of the Iloilo City Council?
“Diin na sila? Wala na sila katingog haw? Daw mga apa kag bungol na sila sa mga isyu sa city government,” an avid fan of a former broadcast journalist wondered.
Another long-time admirer of the former journalists quipped: “Sang ara pa sila sa radyo, pwerte ka wakalan, daw halos tanan komentaryohan. Subong nga ara na sila sa konseho kag damo isyu, wala sila bati-a. Nga-a? Nakatukob man sila?”
There are many controversies in the city hall but we can’t hear even just a whimper from them. Why?
Frankly, during last year’s election, they capitalized on their popularity and so-called “watchdog image” to convince the public to vote for them. They promised to continue being the voices of the people in the city government.
Sadly, they have failed to live up to the expectations of the people who voted for them.
Makahuluya!
Don’t you agree, Armand?
Agent Kurantay “dies-dies” laughing!

WILL PNOY RUN AFTER NONG NIEL?
IN his speech during the awarding of outstanding auditor Inday Haydee Pasuelo, PNoy said:
“Isipin na lang po natin kung mayroon tayong sampung Haydee Pasuelo na hindi nagbubulag-bulagan…na handang i-report nang buong loob sa mga Boss niya, ang taumbayan, na ninanakawan kayo, nilalamangan kayo…hindi ako matatahimik hangga’t hindi nabibigyan ng kaukulang parusa ang abusadong mga opisyal na ito.”
If so, will PNoy run after former governor Nong Niel whose previous Iloilo capitol administration was marred by many irregularities that Inday Haydee uncovered and for which she was hailed as an outstanding auditor?
What do you think, Boy?
Rolex “dies-dies” laughing!

CAN OF WORMS AT LTO-6
WHO could have lobbed the grenade at the gate of the house of Direk Gerard Camiña of the Land Transportation Office (LTO)?
The police was quick to say that it was likely work-related, and more specifically because of the Oplan Baklas Plaka of the LTO that runs after violators of traffic safety rules and regulations.
In truth, LTO is a can of worms. Not all are happy with the way the regional office is being run. Many are in fact disgusted, among them drivers and operators of public utility vehicles. There are many irregularities from licensing to drug testing to insurance.
While the police investigate the grenade blast, anti-corruption agencies of the government must also probe LTO Region 6 such as the Commission on Audit and Office of the Ombudsman. There are many shenanigans in this agency.
Don’t you agree, Periong?

IMO open skies policy will lead to cheaper fares and better airline service. Our local airlines may only have the capability to fly international routes to and from major airports they already serve due to budget constraints etc. With their limited capability it is unlikely for the local airlines to open international routes to new airports. I think the open skies policy of bringing foreign airlines into the country capable of flying domestically and international will be a good welcome. I suggest the mayor should talk with local airlines first and ask them to open an international route in Iloilo. If local airline companies can not do that, the next thing will be to ask interested foreign airlines to do so. These foreign airline companies may not only open domestic flights but foreign routes as well, most likely their home base country or a very viable destination. Just sharing my views, good day!

Newbie here, I don't even know how to quote. Anyway, I think may point man si Governor. It is unfair nga wala reciprocity ang open skies policy. Even developed countries put protections for their industries, so it isn't wrong to worry for our domestic carrier's interests.

Ang pagka balo ko sa may ara reciprocity, and anytime pwede sang president e pull out ang gin hatag nya nga clearance sa international airlines kung makita nga may disadvantage para sa local airlines

Ari, kita ko na paano mag-quote. :) So why not just make it reciprocal from the beginning? If there really is a market (demand), the foreign carriers will come on their own. No need for this one-sided policy.

I read the link you gave kag ok man in part ang open skies policy kay it opens our airport to international flights. Pero ang part nga foreign carriers pwede kasulod diri kag ang local carriers naton cannot do the same to other countries ang daw contentious. But overall, yes, dapat guid ma-open ang airport naton sa international flights.

Hahaha, mangayu guro ang tuyo nila...

Magkasinlaki ba or mas malaki pa sa Bacolod na expansion? Ito ung balita sa kanila.

Well, we don't have any idea if the iloilo expansion of SM would be of the same extent as that of bacolod. Personally though, if there will be an expansion, I think it will be on a smaller scale as that of BCD. This is because SM's lot in the diversion area is limited, there's megaworld's IBP just behind SM's. Plus, there are lots of other SM brands scattered all throughout the city. So Iloilo is pretty much well covered by SM.

If it were up to me however, I wish that SM would put up branches in Roxas and Kalibo, so that there would be a stimulus to trade and more people would be given jobs. Unfortunately, there are groups with strong vested interests, both in capiz and aklan that have opposed the presence of SM for various reasons. That's why in panay, SM is stuck in iloilo....for the moment...

Let's put it this way, whatever will be the final design is a product of countless days and nights of studies and restudies as what will the current short term,mid term and long term market requires and some additional concepts as projected by the study.

It's a win-win situation if you really ask me, that means the region as a whole is economically expanding..grasya sang iban grasya sang tanan.

If I put it bluntly, Iloilo City's economy could not stand alone, she needs her municipalities and closest SISTER City. and vice versa...but telling how fluid our system works..you never know.

for example, without citing some of our banking sector OPSEC. Both cities are harmoniously benefiting from each others strengths.

if you ask me how? I'll tell you but I have to kill yah! :nuts:

Sakto na pre. Bacolod's continued rise can be harnessed by iloilo city. We can benefit (meaning, make money out of it) from bacolod's progress especially in areas where iloilo is catching up. For example, in BPOs (im pretty sure i'll get criticized for this, but I think, mas damo didto BPOs), to sustain the hiring rate of prospective employees over a long period of time*, the HR of the BPOs have to expand their source, getting from another BPO hub on the other side of Negros (Dumaguete) and from Panay. Iloilo based universities can capitalize on this by ramping up the training of the skills of "Near hires" (meaning, those who were very close to being hired were it for some little defect in their skills). That's one way to make money and many more.

*If, for example, for every 100 applicants per day, only 40 people were qualified to join the workforce, then HR has to maintain that flow of 100 people per day just to find 40 qualified applicants and to offset the attrition rate.

To maintain that flow of 100 applicants per day, you can't just rely on sourcing your manpower within one city. True, ma sustain ina in 5 years, na sa city ka lang ga source....but will that still be sustainable 10 years from now?

you hit it right @ 4th, the bigger it will be means that there's a market for it. We're glad that both cities will have future expansions of SMs.(It's good news for the Ilonggo economy or isn't?). :)

But for me though, I still prefer factories for job security of our fellow ilonggos, and I think that will be realized soon.:)

For the factories pre, that will come, especially kung matuman na ang gina propose ni senator Miriam and Jinggoy na special economic zones in Oton and Ajuy, respectively. =)

Newbie here, I don't even know how to quote. Anyway, I think may point man si Governor. It is unfair nga wala reciprocity ang open skies policy. Even developed countries put protections for their industries, so it isn't wrong to worry for our domestic carrier's interests.

IF you read the article, it highlights how past admins from Cory, FVR, GMA policies regarding the industry, what did we got? when Pareng Erap went the other way, what did the country went?

and besides air travel for developed countries are far more different from this part of the globe.

the reason is our aviation industry was stripped with category 1 status by the US FAA, ICAO conformed with that as FAA is the only capable civil aviation authority to conduct testing and inspection on personnels (Pilots, ATC, Air Nav Engrs.). Our country failed on these tests, we were put to category 2, that's why CAAP was created and replaced the old and corrupt office that is ATO.

The Pnoy gov't has given CAAP one year to comply, if that status will be returned to us, then that's the time our local carriers could also penetrate markets of Europe and other countries which still prohibits us.:)

^^what will you do if your lot is small for your need? you go up..



there's megaworld's IBP just behind SM's.I think they should take MW as a opportunity for more expansion, people will always converge, its human nature.


Plus, there are lots of other SM brands scattered all throughout the city. So Iloilo is pretty much well covered by SM. target districts would be more apt description. but the mall type concept is intended for a different purpose. those SM brands compliments their big mall and are actually to compete with other supermarkets.


If it were up to me however, I wish that SM would put up branches in Roxas and Kalibo, so that there would be a stimulus to trade and more people would be given jobs. Unfortunately, there are groups with strong vested interests, both in capiz and aklan that have opposed the presence of SM for various reasons.

I would understand Kalibo trying to protect the local players. but Roxas? hah! I smell something not right.

For example, in BPOs (im pretty sure i'll get criticized for this, but I think, mas damo didto BPOs) it's obvious pre, but if you actually check out their respective HR, you might be surprized with the statitics.

to sustain the hiring rate of prospective employees over a long period of time*, the HR of the BPOs have to expand their source, getting from another BPO hub on the other side of Negros (Dumaguete) and from Panay. Iloilo based universities can capitalize on this by ramping up the training of the skills of "Near hires" (meaning, those who were very close to being hired were it for some little defect in their skills). That's one way to make money and many more.Agree on this, set up training schools and establish additional technical courses that supports the industry. I will require them to undergo OJT programs first. let them feel their way before putting them on actual jobs.

*If, for example, for every 100 applicants per day, only 40 people were qualified to join the workforce, then HR has to maintain that flow of 100 people per day just to find 40 qualified applicants and to offset the attrition rate.

10 years after?sure, BPO's are the trend this decade, but in the future, we have to prepare for traditional industries that cater globally.. ships, cars, computers, electronics.
with careful foresight and planning, i think we are on the right path.



For the factories pre, that will come, especially kung matuman na ang gina propose ni senator Miriam and Jinggoy na special economic zones in Oton and Ajuy, respectively. =)

correct! :cheers:

I have talked with one of the locals from Kalibo...and they said even if SM would plan on having a branch there, their local government wouldn't allow it. Kay gusto nila kuno nga ma stay ang Aklan as it is due to tax reasons....i didn't know what he meant by that. Enlighten me O_O

Basically, kung mag invest ang mga high income corporations sa isa ka locality, ma jack up ya ini ang mga real estate prices. So, kung damo ang ma sulod na high income corporations, its very possible that a wide swath of kalibo will have the value of their real estate increase exponentially.

And because their land value will increase, then the real property tax that is being levied by the local government will also increase. Therefore, you pay increased real estate tax to the municipal government.

That has already happened in iloilo city. We have read some threads back, may nag post diri na forumer about a newspaper clip na ang city government will increase the real property tax rate, I think si luckylady pa ang nag comment or nag oppose about this.

The real property tax was increased by the city government of iloilo because certain na that time na mag sulod ang Megaworld, ang Ayala nag patindog na sang ila na initial project and other investments were also coming in.

For kalibo, if for example, nag tukod didto ang SM, its very possible that robinsons will follow suit and then all the rest follows. The aklanons were foreseeing this type of event.

That's why, they opposed SM's entry because kung ma sugudan na sang isa ka high income corporation, then, ma sige sige na ina dayon sulod ang iban and eventually, ma saka gid ang real property tax mo, maski vacant lot pa ina. Waay ka na gani income, taas taas pa ang tax na gina bayran mo. Some are fearing that because ang ila is just a small business, like small convenience store or internet station, kung mag sulod ang SM city sa kalibo, that mall will kill the small businesses in the downtown area because the market will gravitate to this airconditioned mall instead PLUS ang tax na gina bayran mo, nag taas pa gid. Waay ka na gani customer, gamay lang kita mo, kaunon pa sang increased real property tax, that is what they are fearing.

Bal-an mo man di sa pinas, ang presence daan sang isa ka SM mall daw gina himo na barometer or index of a locality's progress.

^^what will you do if your lot is small for your need? you go up..


I think they should take MW as a opportunity for more expansion, people will always converge, its human nature.

target districts would be more apt description. but the mall type concept is intended for a different purpose. those SM brands compliments their big mall and are actually to compete with other supermarkets.



I would understand Kalibo trying to protect the local players. but Roxas? hah! I smell something not right.


it's obvious pre, but if you actually check out their respective HR, you might be surprized with the statitics.

Agree on this, set up training schools and establish additional technical courses that supports the industry. I will require them to undergo OJT programs first. let them feel their way before putting them on actual jobs.


10 years after?sure, BPO's are the trend this decade, but in the future, we have to prepare for traditional industries that cater globally.. ships, cars, computers, electronics.
with careful foresight and planning, i think we are on the right path.




correct! :cheers:

Agree gid ko da pre sa tanan na gin pang reply mo sa comment ko, hehe.

Ey, are you sure you're not my long lost twin brother? hehe...

Thanks sa clarification arcabe. :) So base diri you mean that the international routes that our local carriers have were opened when we were still category 1 status?

yes but not all..have you noticed that PAL has no flight sa Europe? that's one reason, they don't want pilots from the Phils. to fly on their country for the reason that our regulating agency, former ATO has test pilots that were only trained on cessna 150 plane, so how can that be? you give clearance and renew pilot's license of 747 planes while you are only rated on a small plane?

daw pareho lang na ang driver sang sikad ang gatesting sa imo kon sagad ka na magdrive sang ten-wheeler nga truck.:ohno:

IMO, if iloilo has to improve its manufacturing industry, it should start with food-processing... come up with products that use local agricultural products, process and market them, first, nationwide, then, globally... that way, the poorer folks in the agricultural sector also get to have their slice of the cake...

for example

Agricultural products------processed products for marketing
1. rice--------------------milled rice, other rice derivatives
2. sugarcane--------------sugar
3. corn--------------------cobs, popcorn, flour, chips, flakes, tacos, etc...
4. mangoes----------------fresh, dried, juice, candy, jam, etc..
5. watermelon--------------fresh, juice, processed, etc..
6. livestock and poultry-----fresh, canned, others...

imagine how much the farmers, the factories, the factory workers, the international port would maake... imagine its impact to the local market with more products available... with more manpower in all industries=more production=more income=more buying power=more dynamic local economy...

Agree guid ko diri. I find it ironic nga Cebu is known for dried mangoes pero ari man sa Guimaras ang best mangoes. :ohno: I hope may plans diri ang RDC kay competitive advantage ta guid ini. Maayo man nga may Packaging Engineering sa CPU kay makabulig guid sila diri.

Cebu was the major buyer of leon mangoes. ang problema sa leon indi aggressive ang LGU to invite investor on food processing, grabe ang politika.
advantage na tani sa lugar nga ina ang local agri product pro iban pa nga lugar nka pulos kung mag balik na sa leon process na kag mahal na ang price.

Oh, ok. But i think they don't have to fear. Ara sa ila ang Boracay. so if ever man, kaya na siguro nila kung kwarta lang paghambalan. Mas daku pa ila income.

I've noticed na most of the businesses there are locally owned... Kay kung halin na sagwa...gina-reject nila

Except guro Gaisano...kay mayara sila did2 ^_^

pwede man kapangayo pm about sa twin towers? salamt gid sa manug pm sa akun! salamt gid. hehe :]

Basically, kung mag invest ang mga high income corporations sa isa ka locality, ma jack up ya ini ang mga real estate prices. So, kung damo ang ma sulod na high income corporations, its very possible that a wide swath of kalibo will have the value of their real estate increase exponentially.

And because their land value will increase, then the real property tax that is being levied by the local government will also increase. Therefore, you pay increased real estate tax to the municipal government.

That has already happened in iloilo city. We have read some threads back, may nag post diri na forumer about a newspaper clip na ang city government will increase the real property tax rate, I think si luckylady pa ang nag comment or nag oppose about this.

The real property tax was increased by the city government of iloilo because certain na that time na mag sulod ang Megaworld, ang Ayala nag patindog na sang ila na initial project and other investments were also coming in.

For kalibo, if for example, nag tukod didto ang SM, its very possible that robinsons will follow suit and then all the rest follows. The aklanons were foreseeing this type of event.

That's why, they opposed SM's entry because kung ma sugudan na sang isa ka high income corporation, then, ma sige sige na ina dayon sulod ang iban and eventually, ma saka gid ang real property tax mo, maski vacant lot pa ina. Waay ka na gani income, taas taas pa ang tax na gina bayran mo. Some are fearing that because ang ila is just a small business, like small convenience store or internet station, kung mag sulod ang SM city sa kalibo, that mall will kill the small businesses in the downtown area because the market will gravitate to this airconditioned mall instead PLUS ang tax na gina bayran mo, nag taas pa gid.

Amo na gani nga tani maging proactive ang RDC or provincial government to identify the municipalities nga may advantage sa certain products kag mag-invite investors para diri, kung indi kaya sang LGU or local businessmen. Kay kun hulaton ta ang LGU maghulag, may ara guid iya nga rural kag laid-back ang mindset :ohno:.

On the other hand, many tourists prefer the rural and rustic settings sang mga lugar kay dira sila may peace of mind, relaxation, kag getting in-touch with nature. In that sense, maayo man guro nga may mga lugar nga indi masyado ma-develop, especially ang potential and existing tourist spots.

Iloilo City gov't to demolish illegal billboards

ILOILO CITY, May 12 (PNA) -- The city government of Iloilo will also go against illegal billboards hanging everywhere in this city.

Iloilo City Jed Patrick Mabilog said not one of these billboards is registered in the city since the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is the one in-charge of their permits, especially those measuring 25-30 meters.

Mabilog, however, said he wants a review of all the permits of these billboards regardless of its sizes because since some of them are located along the Iloilo River, they are also considered illegal structures. The mayor particularly mentioned the giant billboard beside the demolished property of City Councilor Edward Yee along Diversion Road in Mandurriao district here.

The city chief executive also said the billboards without permits will be included in the demolition process.

Mabilog has tasked City Administrator Norlito Bautista to get the list of these billboards before the end of the month.

“After reviewing their permits, the billboards with permits that post danger to motorists will not be renewed,” he said. (PNA)

DR made a very good suggestion, not necessarily raw materials will be processed in the point of origin, all we need is a superb road networks that can be used to safely transport the goods to the facilities, which for me would be ideally located in Central Panay, Panay as a whole offers different types of produce that we could eventually supply Mega Manila at competitive prices to their traditional suppliers...and I prefer facilities that has a close proximity to the railways. in which the easy access to the trains means faster and scheduled delivery of the products to Roxas-Iloilo-Caticlan seaports for nationwide distribution and to our airports as well for a small scale export considered by our brothers as delicacy from their motherland :).. The good thing about Panay's road networks is majority of our Roro nautical highways are already established, although there are petty crimes from time to time, over all the security situation is more than above average.

and also fish and alike processing facility can be located in Estancia, wide open space, plenty of manpower, nevermind the LGU, decent port facility with direct link to Manila. i think someone whispered to me about a proposed fish can industry to be put up somewhere up north..

I did see and ate a canned milkfish sardines from Victorias Milling Corp. long time ago. Now that is a good blueprint, Is it still being produce today? calling SSC- Bac Lurkers...

I would prefer Guimaras as our Panay's Palawan, our last frontier,
retirement villages, large parcels of land suited for private estates..
nature tourism such as village resorts and eco-sports activities. religious retreats. of course the white beaches with Marinas to boot.
the mangoes should go to central Panay for processing. and the "kasoy nuts"..
a small concrete airstrip would be a decent pet project..

Electronic billboards are best suited where Socorro drugtore is now, or at least right around that area. I think that obelisk whatever memorial thingy that one is called is an eyesore. It would have been nicer if they revamped that whole area, put an added attraction by putting another fountain, albeit smaller scale with few steps on it, where people can sit down and watch the world go. It'll be a magnet for tourists just like what it did to London. It'll look like Times Square in NYC as well as Piccadilly Circus in London. Hmm just my wild idea though.

Indi na sila kasaho magsapatos. Naanad sila magtiniil kay kung sapatos sila hinay sila magdalagan.

If RAIC were successfully implemented in the early 90s i think iloilo by today maybe considered one of the powerhouse exporter of agri base product in the country, but due to political, wrong zoning, issue of power and ill advised implementation, are some factors in which the project did not take off.


Now i think we should go back in drawing board again...:ohno:

UPV’S DIWATA SHORE

THE Diwata Shore, a sort of big aquarium, has started to take shape in the University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV) Miag-ao Campus. It will display for public viewing various kinds of salt water and fresh water fishes because UPV’s focus is on fisheries.
The proposed project costs P72 million. The initial fund of P15 million comes from the Banat Partylist of Cong. Salvador “Buddy” Britanico who worked tirelessly to bring UPV to Iloilo.
The Diwata Shore’s construction started on the last week of April thru the efforts of Cong Buddy, Mayor Juliet Flroes of Miag-ao, Provincial Board member Gerry Flores and the good people of Miag-ao.
