BUANG, GIN-WASAY ANG GINIKANAN!
Ulo sang amay gin-utod, ginlaga kag gintilawan!
Ni FELIPE V. CELINO

Syudad sang ROXAS – Brutal nga ginpatay sang isa ka 25 anyos nga lalaki nga ginapatihan may diperensya sa panghuna-huna ang mga ginikanan sini paagi sa pagwasay.

Wala pa nakuntento, gin-utod pa sini ang ulo sang iya amay kag ginlaga sang 20 minutos, binutangan sang asin kag panakot kag gintilawan.

Ang malinong nga barangay sang Linampungan sa Pontevedra, Capiz, kapin 30 kilometros gikan diri, nangin bantog matapos sang makahalanusbo kag makangilidlis nga krimen nga ginhimo nga ini ni Ferdinand dela Vega nga ang demonyo lamang ang makahimo.

Mismo si Renato dela Cruz, 35 anyos, ang kaingod kag hinablos sang biktima nga si Editha dela Vega ang nakasaksi kon paano ginhimo sang suspek ang krimen sa iya ginikanan.

Natabo ang insidente kahapon, mga takna Alas-siete sang aga.

Nagapanghimos sang hiligdaan ang iloy nga si Editha, 66 sang nag-ayo nga mainom sang gatas si Ferdinand.

Gilayon man nga nagpadulong sa kusina ang mapinalanggaon nga iloy pero likom sa ihibalo sini, ginsunod sia sang anak kag ginwasay sa ulo. Sang nagahamyangon na sa salog ang iloy, ginwasay niya pa gid ini liwat.

Samtang, ang amay ni Ferdinand nga si Federico, 56 anyos, barangay kagawad sang Linampongan nga yara sa ugsaran ang nagsulod sa ila balay kon sa diin nag-agi ini sa kusina. Yara na nga daan sa kusina ang suspek kag wala na damo nga istorya, gin-wasay man sini sa ulo ang amay.

Sang natomba na sa salog ang amay, gin-wasay niya pa gid ini liwat kag ginguyod malapit sa dapog.

Wala pa nakuntento, gin-utod pa gid sini ang ulo sang amay gamit ang espading kag ginbotang sa kaldero. Gindabukan niya ini kag ginlaga, makaligad ang 20 minutos ginbotangan ya ini sang asin, nagkuha sang kutsara kag gintilawan ang sabaw.

Suno kay Dela Cruz, nagapalangluya sia kag wala sang may nahimo samtang nagalantaw bangod basi sia naman ang atakehon sang suspek.

Nakita pa gid sini nga nagakanta pa si Ferdinand samtang ginatungtong sa ibabaw ang doha ka tiil.

Gilayon naman nga nagtawag sa telepono si dela Cruz kag nangayo sang bolig sa anay konsehal sang banwa nga si Armando Blasurca. Makaligad ang pila ka ginutlo, nag-abot si Blasurca.

Natigayon nga mapasungka sang anay konsehal sang banwa ang suspek nga karon yara nakahunong sa karsel sang Pontevedra Police Station.

Nahibaloan nga naga-istar ang mga dela Vega sa duta ni Blasurca.

Na-shock naman ang magulang sang suspek nga si Carlos dela Vega sang nabatian ang insidente. Sa sobra nga kaugot, ginsugo pa sini ang mga polis nga patyon na lang ang iya utod.

Ginkompirma ni Carlos nga may diperensya gid sa panghuna-huna si Ferdinand. Nag-umpisa ini sang toig 2003 sang may ilegal nga droga nga ginsimpon sa gina-inom sini nga softdrink sang wala makilal-an nga lalaki.

Dogang pa sini, ginbulong man sa Iloilo Provincial Hospital sa Pototan, Iloilo ang iya utod.

Umpisa sadto, nag-untat sia sa pag-eskwela kon sa diin nagkuha ini sang kurso nga Economics sa Capiz State University-Pontevedra campus.

Makaligad ang pila ka adlaw, nangayo sang permiso sa ila himata si Ferdinand nga mapa-Manila apang ginpunggan ini.

Nahibaloan nga agot sa pito ka mag-utod si Ferdinand kon sa diin nagatinir ini sa iya ginikanan.

Na-shock man si Mayor Esteban Steve Contreras sang Pontevedra sang nakalab-ot sa iya ihibalo ang insidente.

Suno sa iya, pinaka-una ini nga natabo sa ila banwa.

Ginpasalig man sini nga pagaboligan-pinansyal ang nasambit nga pamilya./H

Kabataan ITO recognizes role of youth in nat'l service
by A. Lumaque
Philippine Information Agency (PIA)

Roxas City (26 October) --An orientation for 15 Capiceño youth that would serve as mentors for the Kabataan ITO (Information Technology Opportunities) project was conducted by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Provincial Office last October 23 here.

Labor and Employment Officer William Dungog presented the project to the youth applicants taken from the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) – Roxas City database of jobseekers.

"This is in view of the government's National Youth Service (NYS) program which underscores the importance of the youth in community action in the wake of the global economic crisis," Dungog noted during the briefing.

President Gloria Macapagal–Arroyo has issued Executive Order No. 788 to promote the role of the youth in national service. The EO tackles the need to involve the youth aged 18 to 24 years in the national service program through the National Service Corps (NSC) and Youth Conservation Corps (YCC).

Dungog added that the project will mobilize IT-literate unemployed or underemployed youth as mentors to some 1,500 out-of-school youths (OSYs), informal sector (IS) workers and other disadvantaged groups in the region through lessons on basic and practical computer operations and to supervise online access to government programs and services.

A modest stipend of P25 per hour will be paid by DOLE for the youth mentors.

The project will be launched in the province next month. (PIA)

Roxas City to launch "Sulong Kabuhayan"
by A. Lumaque
Philippine Information Agency

Roxas City (26 October) --A community-based skills training that will give participants the opportunity for local and overseas employment will be launched by the Roxas City government in November.

The project dubbed "Sulong Kabuhayan" is geared towards helping jobseekers become competent by undergoing accredited training programs offered by concerned national government agencies.

"It will be piloted in Barangay Lanot but we are studying the model for possible replication to other barangays," said Roxas City administrator Rey Cordenillo.

The initiative is in line with the city government's livelihood generation agenda aimed at generating opportunities to facilitate employment.

The city government has also established a Public Service Employment Office (PESO) which has been considered as employment driver because of its facilitation services that had deployed Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) and placed jobseekers to work in various local firms. (PIA)

Roxas City's programs for children net P106-M
by Jemin B. Guillermo
Philippine Information Agency (PIA)

Roxas City (27 October) --The Roxas City government is set to launch its 5-year Local Development Plan for Children next month.

City Councilor Carla Abela, chair of the Sangguniang Panlungsod's Committee on Children, Women and Family, said that they will hold a book launching of the city's LDPC before the end of November this year.

Abela said that the Roxas City's LDPC is a five-year program which is for 2008 to 2012.

She revealed that the total investment of the Roxas City government for children's programs for said period reached more than P106.024 million covering the survival, development, protection and participation rights.

Of the total amount, the children's programs on development has an approved budget of more than P82.02 million while the programs on protection has more than P13.39 million budget.

On the other hand, the programs on survival and participation have an approved budget of more than P7.65 million and more than P2.94 million, respectively.

Abela added that the city's LDPC will be a framework to guide program implmentors down to the barangay level especially on programs and services for the welfare of children.

She said that during the book launching, barangay officials from the city's 47 barangays will be oriented on the contents of said LDPC.

Abela also said that while the city government here has already its own Children's Code, there is a need to revisit said Code and take necessary steps to harmonize with the LDPC.

Abela also urged other government and non-government as well as private institutions to work for the welfare of children based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

During the recent 15th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit, a Commission on Rights of Women and Children will be set up next year by the 10-member-states as part of the ASEAN's commitment to human rights.

The work of the soon-to-be established Commission will be in line with the principles of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, of which all ASEAN member-states adhere to. (PIA)

Filariasis mass treatment in Capiz kicks off November 17
by A. Lumaque
PIA (http://www.pia.gov.ph/default.asp?m=1)

Roxas City (3 November) -- The Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO) will launch the massive treatment on filariasis on November 17 at the Provincial Capitol here to officially start the provincewide campaign to eliminate the disease.

The activity is in support to President Gloria Macapagal – Arroyo’s Executive Order No. 369 which declared the month of November as mass treatment period for filariasis in established endemic areas.

"Capiz was declared by the Department of Health (DOH) as the 41st endemic province in the country early this year," said Provincial Health Officer II Jarvis O. Punsalan.

Punsalan added that the administration of free mass drug treatment will cover Capiceños aged 2 years and older.

"A house to house campaign will be done to reach out to every household," he streesed, adding that the tablets provided by the DOH are now ready at the Rural Health Unit (RHU) level.

In November 2008, the DOH and provincial health authorities have conducted a selective treatment of 41 filariasis victims from the various barangays of Tapaz as among the succeeding actions following the first ever documented filariasis cases in the province during a September 2008 survey.

A province-wide random deformity survey was also taken by the PHO in coordination with the RHUs to identify and document possible filariasis cases in other towns.

Filariasis is a disease caused by worms transmitted to humans through bites of infected female mosquitoes. It may manifest as recurrent fever, enlarged lymph nodes, and urine with color similar to rice washing.

Provincial health authorities said that the disease can lead to enlargement of the thigh, leg, breast or scrotum if it remains untreated.

Taking the medicines will stop the progression of the disease and prevent its transmission to others. (PIA) [top]

Nyeh! may Filariasis na sa Capiz??!!!!??? :ohno::ohno::ohno::ohno:

There still many places in the country not yet identified endemic for filariasis. Western Visayas which includes the provinces of Iloilo, Capiz, antique, aklan, Negros Occ. and Guimaras, have not yet been scoured for these parasites. If Capiz is positive for this, then other provinces may possibly be positive as well. Usually mosquitoes carrying the parasites are found in mountanous / rural areas. Neg. Oriental as I understand, is positive for filariasis; so it's not far that Neg. Occidental may also be positive for this parasite.

Banana and abaca producing areas na usually ang Filariasis because these mosquitoes lay eggs and breed in pockets of water in junctions of the banana leaf and its trunk. Maybe we will wait for RITM and UP-PGH to confirm endemicity for other provinces. As of the moment areas in WV endemic to parasitic infections are the following:

Schistosomiasis - upland barangays of Calatrava, Negros Occ.
Amoebiasis - Iloilo City, Roxas City and towns scattered along river basins of the major rivers in Capiz and Iloilo; coastal areas of Valladolid, Neg. Occ.
Malaria - in patchy areas of Antique, moreover to the southern areas and Southern Negros Occidental (Candoni, Hinobaan, Cauayan, Sipalay)

If filariasis would also be present in Negros Occ., it might be sporadic mountainous areas in Talisay, Murcia, D.S. Benedicto, La Castellana, Bago for these are major banana producing areas :ohno::ohno::ohno:

COLLEGE OF ST. JOHN-ROXAS
Tradition of academic excellence

ROXAS City - The College of St. John – Roxas, under the supervision of De La Salle University, has long upheld the Lasallian mission of providing human and Christian education, translating this into excellence in everything it sets itself to do.

This is the moving spirit that has earned for the Accountancy department of the College of Arts and Sciences and Business its 66.67 percent passing rate in 2007 against the national passing rate of 37 percent. The succeeding years have themselves yielded successful national board examination results.

In the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (PCCI) sponsored competition last October 12, 2009, the Business Idea Development Award (BIDA), three of our Business Administration students were awarded third place in Food category. They bested nine other finalists from the best schools in Luzon, the National Capital Region (NCR), Visayas and Mindanao.

The College of Nursing itself has highly contributed to the school’s mission of excellent education when its pioneer graduates obtained a 68 percent passing rate in the 2007 Nursing Licensure Examinations, the highest in the province of Capiz, although in the same year, one student took the board exam in June and failed, thus the zero percent in June 2007. In 2008, the passing percentage of 40 percent has been transformed into the driving force to regain its high passing rate in the forthcoming board examinations in November of this year.

This statement is being issued to dispel the erroneous information published in Panay News on October 25, 2009, stating that for “having a zero passing rate in the board exam since 2007, the College of St. John in Roxas City has been ordered to do away with its Nursing Program, said CHED Regional Director Rex Casiple.”

Director Casiple has since asked the management of Panay News to rectify their previous report and issue another article. “The Commission has not released any order pertaining to this effect and the Nursing program of College of St. John-Roxas has no order for closure from this Commission.”

The College of St. John-Roxas shall continue to commit itself to “forming responsible citizens of faith and learning in accordance with the Lasallian tradition of academic excellence, values education and service.”/PN

Capiz to acquire disaster center soon
Philippine Information Agency (http://www.pia.gov.ph/default.asp?m=12&fi=p091110.htm&no=57)

Roxas City (10 November) -- A proposal for a disaster operation center has been unanimously approved by the members of the Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council (PDCC) during its regular meeting last November 10 at the Capiz Gymnasium here.

The meeting was simultaneously held with 16 other provincial bodies as part of the launching and first meeting of the Capiz People's Congress.

The proposal, which prefers the vacant stall outside Villareal Stadium along Atienza Street, here as the future PDCC center, will be presented to Capiz Gov. Victor A. Tanco during a plenary session of the congress.

The stall was constructed and owned by the provincial government.

PDCC Action Officer Retired PNP Chief Insp. Arnold Talabucon said that a disaster management seminar for the Council members and municipal disaster Action Officers has also been approved by the Office of the Civil Defense (OCD) this month to enhance the capability and responsiveness of the disaster team in the province.

A validation of manpower and available equipment for disaster response was conducted during the meeting.

GMA to visit Roxas City
By FELIPE V. CELINO
Panay News (http://www.panaynewsphilippines.com/capiz%201.htm)

ROXAS City -- President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will visit this city anytime this week to deliver the P40-million check she promised to Mayor Vicente Bermejo.

Engr. Julius Abela of the Capiz First Engineering District said Arroyo is expected to arrive here on Friday or Saturday.

Recently, Bermejo said he and his wife, Mariter, personally requested the amount from Arroyo to be used in her legacy projects in Capiz. Arroyo and Mariter were classmates at a private school in Manila.

Bermejo, who showed to the media the Special Allotment Release Order, said part of the amount will be used in the construction of a drainage system in Brgy. Banica that costs about P10 million.

A source close to Bermejo disclosed that Arroyo will hold a meeting with the mayor and Ugyon Kita Capiz (UKC) led by Second District Cong. Fredenil Castro and former Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc-joc” Bolante.

The source said Arroyo will support Bermejo and the bets of UKC against the Liberal Party bets.

“The President will see to it that (Senator Mar) Roxas and his bets in Capiz will lose in next year’s elections,” the source added./PN

DOT's Ace to grace Western Visayas tourism congress

by A. Lumaque

Roxas City (2 December) -- Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Joseph "Ace" Durano will be the keynote speaker for the Western Visayas Tourism Congress on Dec. 5 at the Gerry Roxas Foundation (GRF) Resource Center here.

The day-long activity with the theme "The National Tourism Act of 2009: Meeting the Challenges of Domestic Tourism" is part of the activities for the Western Visayas Tourism Assembly (WVTA) from Dec. 4 to 6.

Provincial Tourism Officer Aphonsus Tesoro said that the congress will be participated in by more than 200 tourism officers and members as well as academe, business and private sector representatives in the region.

The congress will have four sessions that will tackle topics such as the National Tourism Act of 2009: Its Institutional Framework for Tourism Development and its critical issues, Destination Promotion, and Overview of the Health and Wellness Industry as a Multi-Million Dollar Business.

An open forum to resolve tourism-related issues will follow after the presentations.

Recently, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo said in her keynote address during the first-ever Tourism Congress at the Marriot Hotel near the Ninoy Aquino International Airport that the National Tourism Policy Act of 2009 will be the key instrument to strengthening the government-private sector partnership.

The law requires the DOT to convene the congress to allow participants to elect nominees Zone Authority for five seats in the governing board of the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise (TIEZA), Tourism Promotion Board (TPB), and the Duty Free Philippines Corp.

The President noted that tourist arrivals in the first semester of the year reached almost four million. Only half of that number came to visit the country on 2001.

She also said that domestic tourism also increased, along with foreign tourism, due in part to the efforts of the government in partnership with the private sector to provide tourism infrastructure and facilities.

From 2004 to August this year, P555 billion worth of investment went to the development of transportation, tourism ecozones, accommodations and infrastructure.

The President said that through these investments, the country has increased its market share in the South East Asia tourism industry.

As a result of this tourism infrastructure, tourist arrivals from Asian countries has increased with Koreans and Chinese topping the list.

The tourism infrastructure progress falls under the President's Super Regions Economic Development Strategy.

The programs called for the construction of road and bridges, airports and ports. (PIA)

Visayas’ first ever P450-million ‘hospitel’ to rise in Roxas City
By FELIPE V. CELINO

ROXAS City – With medical tourism fast becoming popular in the country, a new kind of hospital combining the features of a tertiary medical facility and a hotel will rise in this city.

The groundbreaking of the “hospitel,” which will cost P450 million, was held on December 29, 2009.

It will be a 100-bed capacity tertiary hospital with an adjoining hotel – a first of its kind in the Visayas.

To be called The Health Centrum, the facility will be in the heart of a 30-hectare complex owned by the Balgos family in Brgy. Banica.

The construction will be financed by the Land bank of the Philippines.

Envisioned to become a sufficient community, the entire “hospitel” area will also have a nursing and medical training school, housing for medical practitioners, a retirement village, residential subdivision, and commercial establishments.

Dr. Abundio Balgos, a noted medical practitioner currently based in Manila, said the planned integrated hospital, hotel and mall complex will serve clients from Roxas City and the whole Capiz province, and the northern part of Panay Island in Western Visayas.

But the surrounding provinces of Iloilo, Aklan, Antique and Masbate, Boracay Island in Aklan as well as the northern part of Palawan will also benefit from this pioneering concept.

The hospital will offer state-of-the-art general and specialty medical services, as well as a resort/out-patient/long-term care and treatment facility.

The hotel will also serve patients of the hospital, both in-patients requiring nursing care, pain management or observation services for their recuperation, and out-patients requiring temporary accommodation before and after their medical exams.

Because of its proximity to island resorts and diving spots, the facility will also have a decompression chamber.

A service mall adjacent to the hospital and hotel will be built.

The adjacent College of St. John-Roxas, a De La Salle-supervised school, has elementary, high school and college that offers the nursing course.

An 11-hectare residential subdivision which is targeted to be mainly a retirement village is also being planned.

As a main proponent of the project, Balgos said he will relocate his medical practice to Roxas City when the medical facility starts its operations. He envisions Roxas City to be a potential major seat of medical advancement in Western Visayas.

He said he and members of the Balgos family of Capiz, their family-run Atila Balgos Foundation Inc., as well as the individual medical specialists who will be practicing in the hospital and some businessmen, are the initial investors of the project./PN

Young Capiceño tops Economix competition
By FELIPE V. CELINO

ROXAS City - Paul Brian Hontiveros Almalbis, son of businessman and former Roxas City Councilor Eleazar Almalbis, was one of the two representatives of the country who was adjudged champion in the 7th International Economix Competition held at the Governor’s Palace in Jakarta, Indonesia recently.

The Economix Competition is an annual event organized by the Economix Competition Committee, a subsidiary of Kanopi - the premier organization of the Economics faculty of the University of Indonesia. The competition is the largest annual international conference and competition of the university.

The theme for this year’s competition was “Asian Youth Empowerment: Challenging Asia to Become the World Trade Leader”.

Almalbis, together with his classmate Francis David Roque, both third year students of De La Salle University (DLSU) -Manila taking up Applied Economics and Management of Financial Institutions, submitted an essay paper on the topic on “Asian Trade Leadership Through Intensified Regional Economic Integration”.

Out of the hundreds of Asians who sent their papers for the preliminary elimination round, Almalbis and Roque were chosen to be part of the top 25 to compete in the event.

Together with their professor, Marvin Castell, vice chairperson of the Economics Department of DLSU-Manila, Brian and Francis left for Indonesia on October 31.

The competition started from November 2 to 5, 2009 in which the delegates underwent three elimination rounds.

First, the top 25 teams were asked to defend their papers in front of a panel of judges. They were given seven minutes to present their paper and eight minutes for the question and answer portion.
After which, 15 teams were eliminated and the Philippine team qualified for the succeeding round.

Then, the Philippine team went on to the semi-final round in which they again presented their paper to a panel of judges. The time allotted for the presentation and question and answer portions were extended to 10 minutes and 20 minutes, respectively. Five more teams were eliminated. Almalbis and Roque led in points.

In the final round, each of the five teams was given a unique case study and was given three hours to discuss, collect data, and prepare a presentation. The Philippine team presented a topic on “The Second Generation of Free Trade”. The format for the presentation was the same as that in the semi-final round.

The Sangguniang Panlungsod last December 29 commended Brian for winning in the competition./PN

Pagasa: El Niño to affect RP climate till June; Capiz under drought

The El Niño phenomenon has triggered a drought in Capiz province and caused dry spells in many other areas, and may affect the country’s climate throughout the first half of 2010, state weather forecasters said.

But the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said there is a small chance of at least one cyclone occurring this month.

“Weather systems that will likely influence the climate for January 2010 are the northeast monsoon, the tail-end of the cold front, ridge of HPA (high pressure area), easterly wave, and a slim chance of occurrence of one tropical cyclone. Most parts of Luzon and Visayas will likely experience below normal rainfall condition," it said in an advisory.

It added that portions of western, central and eastern Mindanao are expected to have drier conditions except the southern part, which is likely to experience near normal rainfall.

Pagasa said Capiz is already under drought condition as it experienced five consecutive months from August to December with below normal rainfall.

The number of areas that experienced dry spells have increased, including Benguet, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Batangas, Aurora, Quezon, Marinduque, Mindoro, Romblon, Sorsogon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Northern Samar, Aklan, Guimaras, Biliran, Davao del Sur, South Cotabato, Sarangani and Sultan Kudarat.

"These areas exhibited three to four consecutive months of below normal rainfall condition," it said.

Pagasa also said Northern Samar is in near-drought condition, and is likely to experience below normal rainfall for five consecutive months.

For January, Pagasa said near normal to slightly warmer surface air temperatures is expected in Luzon while warmer than normal temperatures are likely over most areas of Visayas and Mindanao.

Pagasa noted the El Niño weather phenomenon, characterized by low rainfall and dry spells, was already felt last December.

It said that in December 2009, weather systems that prevailed included the northeast monsoon, the tail-end of a cold front, ridge of HPA and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).

Tropical Depression Vinta (December 02-03), which just passed through the northeastern border of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), did not affect the country, it noted.

"Rainfall condition for the month of December was unusually way below normal in most areas of Luzon. Likewise, Western Visayas experienced way below normal rainfall, while the central and eastern portions experienced below to near normal conditions. Greater portions of Mindanao experienced below normal rainfall condition and only the eastern and western portions showed near normal rainfall values. These are clear manifestations of the impacts of El Niño in the country," it said.

It added average air temperatures for the month were near normal in most parts of Luzon while most areas of Visayas and Mindanao experienced above normal surface air temperature. - LBG/RSJ, GMANews.TV

Panay News (http://www.panaynewsphilippines.com/capiz%201.htm)

ROXAS City – Mayor Vicente Bermejo recently turned over a speech laboratory -- the first in Capiz -- to a public high school here.

The equipment were supplied by VG Roxas Company under Engr. Ronnie Bolito.

Bermejo said a speech laboratory will also be set up to the President Manuel A. Roxas Memorial School-South.

Nestor dela Cruz, CNHS principal IV, thanked the mayor “for the wonderful gift -- another breakthrough in our aim to provide our students with quality education.”/PN

Cafe de Musee continues to give fun and entertainment
By Mary Ann Fortaleza

THIS restaurant was formerly owned by Korean Richard Kim but now under the new management of Vidal "Totong" Villaruz. He bought the restaurant last Feb. 12.

It all started when Richard saw Villaruz and his band at Marina restaurant and he was invited to play at the Musee. Then, Richard encouraged Villaruz to buy Musee because of too much debt and that he has no enough money for pay. Because of his persistence, Villaruz decided that perhaps it is time to have a business of his own and at the same time, a place to set up his own band.

There is no regret however because the business is growing with good profits and that people many Ilonggos already visit and like the restaurant.

Cafe de Musee also caters to special occasions and other functions. For snacks, its offers P85/head and it offers buffet arrangements worth P150, P180, and P220 only.

Cafe de Musee can entertain almost 400 customers. Karen Villaruz, co-owner says that they are planning to improve the bar and restaurant and that they will put up mini-umbrellas and chairs outside like the usual coffee shop set-up. They are also planning to serve lunch. Instead of their regular opening at 6 p.m., they will open at 11 a.m.

The owner wanted to change the impression of the people public that Cafe de Musee is no longer what people thought which sells expensive products. It is now newly owned and that it offers very affordable foods, with drinks only worth P20.

Further, with its new management, Cafe de Musee will soon have its new name.

by A. Lumaque

Roxas City (12 February) -- About 200 participants are expected to attend the cultural summit on March 14 at the Gerry Roxas Foundation (GRF) Convention Center in Barangay Dayao, here as part of the activities of the One Visayas One People One Destiny celebration.

"The output from the summit will be a big research project," he noted.

The day-long activity will be participated in by government officials, artists, cultural workers and tourism officers, among others.

During the meeting, a logo for this year?s One Visayas celebration was presented to the members of the local Executive Committee chaired by Capiz Gov. Victor A. Tanco for comments and revisions.

By FELIPE V. CELINO

ROXAS City – Today, a groundbreaking ceremony will be held for the P55-million Sen. Gerardo Roxas Memorial District Hospital along the national highway in Brgy. Balucuan, Dao.

The construction of the hospital is one of the agenda of Gov. Victor A. Tanco in delivering health services to the people of Capiz, particularly in the Second District. The project was funded by the Department of Health (DOH).

Tanco and DOH officials will lead the groundbreaking of the 50-bed capacity hospital.

According to Engr. Edgar Agana, officer-in-charge of the Provincial Engineer’s Office (PEO), 17 contractors submitted Letters of Intent and Applications for Eligibility but only seven were able to purchase the bid documents.

Wow. I never knew Roxas City is this progressive. Although I consider myself a Capizeno from Mambusao, I've only been in Mambusao once (1997) and i can't speak the local language. haha.

Why is Villareal Stadium called Panaad Stadium? Which one is correct? From what I know, this Stadium is named after my Lolo, the former House Speaker.

New medical facility in Dao to decongest prov’l hospital

By FELIPE V. CELINO

DAO, Capiz – The new government hospital to rise here is expected to decongest the Roxas Memorial Provincial Hospital in Roxas City.

Gov. Victor Tanco led the groundbreaking for the new government hospital on Friday.

The P55-million medical facility will be constructed in Brgy. Balucuan here. It will be named Sen. Gerardo Roxas Memorial District Hospital.

The 1.5-hectare lot on where the hospital will rise is owned by the provincial government.

The old hospital located in Dao’s poblacion is already dilapidated and prone to flooding.

Dr. Marlene Concovar, Department of Health 6 (DOH-6) assistant regional director, said the new hospital will be responsive to the medical needs of patients. She urged the provincial government to sustain the hospital’s fund.

“Sustainability is really a big issue in hospital operation. We should be relentless in our resolve to sustainable growth and development through innovative generation of financial resources,” Concovar said.

Of the P160-million received by DOH-6 last year to fund government hospital upgrading projects, Capiz got the biggest share at P56.761 million.

Of this amount, Convocar said P55 million went to Dao alone; the remaining went to the Sigma Rural Health Unit.

Kirskat Ventures will construct the new Dao hospital.

Engr. Edgar Agana, officer-in-charge of the Provincial Engineer’s Office (PEO), said 17 contractors submitted Letters of Intent and Applications for Eligibility but only seven were able to purchase bid documents.

During the opening of bids on January 18, four passed the preliminary examination. These were Kirskat Venture, SM Castro Management and Construction Services, F. Gurrea Construction, and R.R. Encabo Construction.

Kirskat Venture owned by contractor Leodegario Labao Jr. bid for P34,994,072.71./PN

CAPIZ INVESTMENT PLAN ANOMALOUS
Financial crisis looms

ROXAS City – Double whammy. Aside from the Makati City court order stopping its P683-million loan with the Philippine Veterans Bank, the province of Capiz under the leadership of Gov. Victor Tanco is facing another financial crisis on the heels of a legal move by lawyer Leodegario Dadivas asking the Provincial Development Council (PDC) to cease and desist from implementing the Annual Investment Program.
In its February 16 letter to Tanco, Dadivas said the Annual Investment Program approved by the PDC as embodied in its Resolution 10-01 and also approved by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) on January 21, 2010 was null and void due to “procedural infirmities and defects” and for having been passed in a meeting without a quorum.
The PDC, under Executive Order N0-154, series of 2007, has 28 members, 17 of whom are mayors of the province, seven non-government organization (NGO) representatives, two congressmen and the SP Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations.
However, during the January 13, 2010 meeting of the PDC, only three mayors and a representative of Cong. Antonio del Rosario, Tanco and seven members of the NGOs -- or a total of 13 members -- were present.
According to Dadivas, the Provincial Annual Investment Program passed on January 13, 2010 “was not passed prior to the approval of the Annual Performance Budget.”
“It violates Article 410 of the Rules and Regulations Implementing the Local Government Code requiring Local Development Councils to submit to the local finance committee a copy of their development plan and annual investment program prepared and approved during the fiscal year before the calendar for budget preparation,” he reminded Tanco.
This defect was uncovered by the Commission on Audit (COA) and thus disapproved Appropriation Ordinance No-06 of the province on the ground that there were “no funds actually available, or a new revenue source at the time the ordinance was passed.”
According to COA, the authority given to Gov. Tanco to sign a loan agreement “has no leg to stand on.”
Dadivas reminded Tanco that the submission of budget proposals by the heads of offices to the chief executive must be on or before the 15th day of July each year. On the other hand, the chief executive shall submit it to the SP not later than the 16th of October. On or before the end of the current fiscal year, the SP shall enact the annual budget.
Dadivas asked the governor to refrain from implementing PDC Resolution 10-01 and SP Resolution 009 approving the Annual Investment Program.
In their petition for prohibition before the Makati court, Francisco Alba, Ceferino Patino, Charles Esclolin and Florencio Martinez said the province of Capiz is not capable to borrow a gargantuan amount of loan (P683 million) from the Philippine Veterans Bank.
Citing figures, they claimed that the total internal revenue allotment (IRA) received by the province for the year 2009 was only P614,401,237.
According to Section 324 of Republic Act 7160, the Local Government Code, only 20 percent of is allowed for debt servicing.
They contested that the loan is beyond the capacity of the province to pay, thus public services will be paralyzed and prejudiced.
Gov. Tanco did not explained his side, except by saying that his lawyers will take up the legal issue even as he is pursuing the release of the controversial loan after the court shall have resolved the case.
However, public opinion in the province is against the loan that is purposely planned to construct a government center on a place that, ironically, is not owned by the province./PN

One Visayas expo to foster unity among 3 Visayan regions (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=260736)

ILOILO CITY, Feb. 24 (PNA) - Department of Tourism (DOT) Regional director Edwin Trompeta said the One Visayas, One People, One destiny expo set March 11 in the province of Capiz is an activity that will foster unity among the three regions in the Visayas.

Trompeta said the expo is a project initiated by the Regional Development Council (RDC) Executive Committee of Region 6, 7 and 8. It will gather the three regions to showcase arts, culture, tourism products, fiestas and cultural heritage.

The best of Visayan architecture, dance, festivals, services and practices will also be featured in the One Visayas expo.

The RDC 6 is headed by Antique Gov. Sally Perez. The tourism department is exerting efforts for the success of the forthcoming One Visayas, One People, One Destiny expo.

Trompeta said it is worthwhile activity which involves the three regions together.

Uniting the three regions which is separated by the seas will bring up development in terms of infrastructures.

It will also be easier for them to confront issues and other serious matters affecting the growth and development of the regions particularly in the tourism aspect, he said.

Trompeta said the three governors will come up with one cohesive approach in dealing with serious matters concerning development of the three regions.

It is only a matter of getting their acts together, he noted.

The One Visayas project is expected to unite all the 16 provinces in the Visayas region which is separated by the sea but have cultural bond.

Trompeta added the province of Capiz is ready to host the event though he deemed there would be problems on the accommodation since there are enough hotels to accommodate the participants.

The accommodation of participants will largely depend on how fast the other regions could book themselves, he said. (PNA)

Six RP cities review counter-corruption reforms (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=261260)
By Gloria Jane Baylon

MANILA, Feb. 26 (PNA) -- Top officials of six Philippine cities met recently in Manila to review the gains achieved after a two-year implementation of their counter-corruption reforms under a project funded by the British Embassy in Manila.

The cities are Calapan (Mindoro Oriental), Iriga (Camarines Sur), Roxas (Capiz), Santiago (Isabela), Sorsogon (Sorsogon), and Tacloban (Leyte) which were assisted in the implementation by the Asia Foundation.

At the review meeting, the mayors and other officials also identified good practices they can propose to incoming city officials that would attract more investors to their cities.

By applying the recommended reforms, the embassy said Calapan City claimed to have increased its tax collection, with income from real property taxes at a record high.

Santiago City’s constituents are now finding it easier and faster to transact business because of the improved process flow and renovated physical facilities in the city.

Sorsogon’s public market is now the template that many local government units in the Bicol region would imitate because of its efficiency and increasing profitability.

Tacloban’s rationalization of its hiring process led to significant savings for the city government that meant more resources for other services.

British Ambassador Stephen Lillie congratulated the Asia Foundation for effectively implementing the project and the city mayors who took the necessary steps to improve their delivery of services.

Lillie encouraged them to continue finding ways to increase their system’s transparency. He stressed that addressing corruption should be a priority as the May elections draw nearer.

“It’s impossible to overstate the importance of tackling corruption, if the Philippines is to achieve its full potential in terms of economic growth and poverty reduction," he said.

”This is an issue that matters hugely to foreign investors, just as it does to ordinary citizens. So central government will need to continue to keep counter-corruption high on its policy agenda, before and after the elections,” the ambassador continued.

The cities participated in the eight-month Public Service Excellence, Ethics, and Accountability Program (PSEEAP), which promotes transparency in service delivery, strengthens the accountability of local bureaucrats, and encourages customer-oriented culture in the delivery of basic services.

Also at the conference, the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) and the Asia Foundation signed a Memorandum of Agreement to provide the LCP Secretariat with technical assistance in organizational development, financial management, program development, and policy advocacy to continue with the gains they achieved.

Capiz is red tide-free (http://www.panaynewsphilippines.com/capiz%203.htm)

By Felipe V. Celino

ROXAS City – Provincial Agriculturist Sylvia dela Cruz assured Capiceños that it is safe to eat seafoods since the province remains red tide-free.

In its February 23 monitoring, samples taken from the seawaters of the seven towns are negative from red tide toxins.

On Friday, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources 6 (BFAR-6) said Western Visayas is negative from red tide toxins that causes fish kills.

Meanwhile, Dela Cruz said damage to rice crops by the El Niño is not alarming. She said most of the farmers have already harvested their crops before the drought came.

“We have sufficient supply of rice. The public should not be worried,” she said./PN

One Visayas begins March 11 (http://pia.gov.ph/?m=12&fi=p100301.htm&no=51&r=r06&y=&mo=)

Roxas City (1 March) -- A grand opening rites will formally kick off the 2nd One Visayas One People One Destiny Celebration with the theme "Heroes and Nationalism" on March 11 at the Capiz Gym in Villareal Stadium here.

The ceremonies dubbed "Pang-abi-abi kag Panabi-tabi" will have a cutting of ribbons at the stadium's main entrance and on the special booths of the different exhibit areas of the festival's participating provinces from Regions 6, 7 and 8.

"The cutting of ribbons will be followed by an opening program inside the Capiz Gym," said a One Visayas schedule briefer.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is expected to grace the activity.

Provincial Tourism Officer and One Visayas Director Alphonsus Tesoro said that the festival is expected to create awareness among Capiceños and the Visayan people of the rich Visayan cultural heritage.

"It is also expected to strengthen the network of practicing artists in the Visayas," he stressed.

The four-day festival, hosted by the Capiz provincial government in cooperation with the Regional Development Councils of Eastern, Central and Western Visayas, will gather artists and craftsmen from the seven art disciplines such as music, dance, theater, literature, culinary art, visual arts and architecture.

"They will be sharing their wriences and expertise through performances, exhibits, workshops, and fora to supplement development and appreciation of cultural, artistic, innovative and trendsetting endeavors towards the promotion of tourism in Visayas.

The opening program will be followed in the afternoon by a parade of festivals to be participated in by world-renowned Visayan festivals.

A fiesta atmosphere will mark the parade of festivals as colorful and popular festivals will perform from Roxas City plaza to the stadium. (PIA)

Mambusao gets loan for water system

BY JOEL E. CAPUNDAN

ROXAS CITY – Aside from Cuartero and Dao towns, the municipality of Mambusao under the leadership of Mayor Jose “Joe” Alba will also avail of a loan grant amounting to P11 million from Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA).

This was revealed by Alba after he and a representative from LWUA met recently in connection with the financing of water district in Mambusao.

According to him, the P11 million budget for water district will have an initial of 1,000 water concessionaires for three barangays in Mambusao.

He added that the water district will tap the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) dam as a source of water.

Earlier, Cuartero Mayor Roger Flores said that President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo through LWUA granted the loan in the amount of P11.6 million for Cuartero Water District at his town.

He also said that the same loan was granted in Dao where they simultaneously constructed their water district for the residents in their respective towns.

Flores said that water concessionaires will not shoulder the loan but only pay the operational expenses of the water district since the loan was a grant.

BIR Capiz kicks off 2010 tax drive (http://pia.gov.ph/?m=12&fi=p100303.htm&no=53&r=r06&y=&mo=)

Roxas City (3 March) -- The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Revenue District Office (RDO) No. 72 has formally started its 2010 tax campaign with a caravan around the city to drum up the Income Tax filing season.

BIR Regional Director lawyer Glen Geraldino and BIR RDO No. 72 head Gil Tabanda led the caravan after a brief press conference with Capiz tri-media practitioners.

"We are encouraging taxpayers to file their ITR for the taxable year 2009 and pay the corresponding taxes early to avoid rush in banks and BIR offices," Geraldino said.

The deadline for Income Tax Return (ITR) filing and payments is April 15.

The intensified communication campaign to make the people aware of the Income Tax filing season is in line with the Bureau's 2010 theme and slogan "Making The Public Know" which aptly reflects the thrust of Commissioner Joel L. Tan - Torres of pursuing a high visibility communication to all stakeholders of the BIR's tax administration activities and initiatives.

"This is all about the high visibility of the BIR people which means that everybody is being watched as to their tax obligations," Geraldino explained.

For his part, BIR RDO No. 72 head Gil Tabanda said that BIR ? Capiz has also started its countdown towards the April 15 ITR filing and payments deadline.

"The District will also set up Tax Tulungan Centers in malls to help tax filers in the province," he revealed.

The caravan with a recoreda (Mobile Public Address System) was participated in by local government units, national government agencies, private and business sectors, and BIR employees, among others. (PIA)

DPWH completes two bridges to complement RoRo project (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=262369)

ILOILO CITY, March 4 (PNA) – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is set to inaugurate its two completed bridges in Capiz that will further complement the Strong Republic Nautical Highway or the roll on-roll off (RoRo) program of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

The single-span Talaba and Sisi Bridges located in Sapian, Capiz have lengths of 35 and 40 meters, respectively.

The said bridges are along the Strong Nautical Highway (Capiz–Aklan Road) connecting Aklan, Capiz and Iloilo provinces.

The said bridges replaced the weak bridges built four decades ago, and with its replacements, the public is assured of safe structure to travel with along national roads.

These bridges were constructed under the DPWH Bridge Construction Acceleration Project for Calamity Stricken Areas I (Austrian–Assisted).

Data from the DPWH regional office here disclosed that under the program, 18 bridges were implemented in full turn key basis, which included the design, supply of pre-fabricated steel bridging materials from Austria, substructure design, bridge construction and project management.

The inauguration is slated Friday next week. (PNA)

Barbie Almalbis
Yvette Barbra Almalbis Honasan (born August 26, 1977 in Roxas City, Capiz), more commonly known as Barbie Almalbis, is a popular singer and songwriter from the Philippines.

Formerly the lead singer of the popular bands Hungry Young Poets and Barbie's Cradle, she pursued a solo career in 2005, releasing her self-titled compilation album, Barbie: The Singles.

In 2006, she released her debut solo album, Parade. Her music is characterised by a rather quirky, but endearing vocal style, and guitar work.

Barbie is a capable guitarist in her own right and a painter; she is a born-again Christian and is married to Martin Honasan (the son of the Sen. Gringo Honasan), a painter and scion of a Philippine political family. The couple named their firstborn Noa Stina.

‘One Visayas’ to boost Visayas tourism corridor (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=6&sid=&nid=6&rid=263297)

ILOILO CITY, March 9 (PNA) – The second "One Visayas" activity that will kick off in the province of Capiz on March 11 is expected to boost the tourism super region of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

This was according to Tourism regional director Edwin Trompeta as he stressed that the four-day event is one way of putting together the various heritage, cultural attractions of Western, Central and Eastern Visayas regions.

Trompeta added that Central Philippines has been included in the tourism belt because of its beach resorts found in Bohol, Cebu and Boracay.

“We are not only known for that; we also have our other attractions. We are also known as a cultural and heritage destination,” he said.

Visayas is also noted for its various festivals.

In fact 11 festivals representing various local government units in the Visayas will be joining the "Parade of Festivals" on the opening day.

These are the Binirayan of Antique; Dinagyang of Iloilo; Tagbuan of Capiz; Masskara of Bacolod City; Kanyon of Negros Occidental; Palawod of Bantayan, Hinulawan from Toledo City, Mantawi from Mandaue City, Ani-Anihan from Tabuelan, Karansa from Danao and Bonga from Sibonga all of Cebu.

Further, organizers of the "One Visayas" lined up 13 other activities.

These include workshops on storytelling, break dancing or b-boying, cooking demonstration, outreach programs, cultural presentations, concert at the park, film showing, among others.

The second One Visayas is being organized by the Regional Development Committee composed of the three Regional Development Councils from Regions 6,7 and 8, Department of Tourism and the Provincial Government of Capiz.

The organizers also invited President Arroyo to be the guest of honor. (PNA)

Teodoro woos Capiznons Friday (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=263527)

ILOILO CITY, March 10 (PNA) – Lakas-Kampi-CMD presidential candidate, Atty. Gilbert Teodoro for the first time since the start of the campaign for national candidates, will set foot in Roxas City, Capiz on Friday.

This was confirmed by Presidential Assistant for Western Visayas Raul Banias who has been handling some of the campaign sorties of Teodoro in Western Visayas.

Banias said Teodoro has been invited to speak before thousands of delegates during the opening of the "One Visayas" event which is participated in by 16 provinces all over Visayas.

After the opening ceremony at the Villareal Stadium, Teodoro is expected to have a college campus tour that will culminate in a visit at the Capiz State University in the afternoon.

Banias said as a result of Teodoro's campus tours, the administration standard bearer was able to capture the interest of young voters who comprise majority of the country’s voting population in the coming May polls. (PNA)

‘One Visayas’ to popularize local arts and culture in poorest towns of Capiz (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=263590)

ILOILO CITY, March 11 (PNA) – Performing groups from selected local government units joining the ‘One Visayas, One Destination, One People’ event in Capiz will be visiting the province poorest towns to popularize local culture and arts.

The towns include Panit-an, Sapian, Pilar and Jamindan, according to Tourism regional director Edwin Trompeta.

He explained that performances in these municipalities are part of the ‘Pag-ambitanay’ or an outreach program of the ‘One Visayas’ where instead of the usual civic actions, they will be showcasing local culture and arts.

The ‘Pag-ambitanay’ will be participated in by performing groups from Cebu, Bohol, Negros Occidental and Iloilo.

Performances will be held in town plazas or markets where a lot of people converge.

Trompeta expressed optimism that the locales could easily relate with the activity because they also have their own local cultural activities.

The ‘One Visayas, One Destination, One People’ event officially opened today and will culminate on Sunday.

The celebration that gathered 16 provinces from all over Visayas anchored on the theme ‘Heroes and Nationalism.’ (PNA)

Roxas City hosts first medical tourism facility in W. Visayas (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=264314)

ROXAS CITY, Capiz, March 15 (PNA) – A "Health Centrum," a medical tourism facility will rise in this city, courtesy of local private investors with several doctors coming from the Philippine General Hospital (PGH).

This was disclosed by Gov. Victor Tanco who expressed optimism over the benefits the P600-million project will be bringing in to Capiznons.

Tanco said the facility is similar to that of St. Luke’s Hospital where the patients will not feel that they are inside the hospital instead they would experience the feeling of being inside a hotel.

The facility has a restaurant, sports facilities and other wellness equipment and will cater to senior citizens, retirees, among others.

He added that being the first in Western Visayas, the facility will again boost the position of the region as a tourism hub. Visitors from adjacent Boracay Island may opt to take a side visit to the place should they wanted to.

“Tourists will be coming here not only to enjoy the place but also get well,” he said.

The construction of the project is presently going on and once completed, Tanco looked forward to plenty of job opportunities from health personnel up to market vendors, tricycle drivers among others.

It will also usher in a more vibrant economy for the province of Capiz. (PNA)

Capiz needs more infra investors
(http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=264316)
ROXAS CITY, March 15 (PNA) – The provincial government is calling on the private sector to invest in infrastructure projects in Roxas City and province of Capiz to provide enough accommodation to thousands of tourists that are frequenting this ‘Seafood Capital’ of the country.

Gov. Victor Tanco admitted the need for big investors for facilities such as convention centers and hotels to accommodate the growing number of visitors and gatherings.

“We are willing to give them tax incentives,” he said, adding they already have an ordinance to that effect.

The province just ended its four-day hosting of the ‘One Visayas’ event on Sunday that gathered thousands of delegates from the three regions of Visayas.

It is now gearing for the International Dance Festival sometime in April that will be participated in by more than 16 countries all over the world.

Last month, it played host to the Western Visayas Tourism Assembly while last year the Indigenous People’s Month and the Global Peace Festival were also held here.

Tanco said they managed to accommodate the delegates despite of limited facilities.(PNA)

DPWH inaugurates two Austrian-assisted bridges in Capiz
ILOILO CITY, March 16 (PNA) -– The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) field office 6 opened to the public two of its three Austrian-assisted bridge projects in Western Visayas recently.

The two single-lane projects include the 35-meter Talaba and 40-meter Sisi bridges both located in Sapian, Capiz with a total fund assistance of P42.15 million.

Its inauguration was attended by no less than His Excellency Wilhelm M. Dokno, Ambassador of Austria to the Philippines and joined by DPWH regional director Rolando M. Asis, assistant regional director Juby Cordon and local officials of Sapian.

The two bridges were constructed under the DPWH Bridge Construction Acceleration Project for Calamity Stricken Areas, situated along the Strong Nautical Highway (Capiz-Aklan Road), connecting the Province of Aklan, Capiz and Iloilo.

The projects replaced the weak bridges built four decades ago so that the public will be assured of safe structure to travel with along national roads.

Meanwhile, Regional Project Management Office (RPMO) officer-in-charge, Engr. Edgardo Garcia said that the construction of the third project funded by the Austrian government is also ongoing in San Remegio, Antique.

The Bugo Bridge with a fund support of P320 million is around 17 percent completed and is expected to be completed by 2011. (PNA)

Another billion-peso flood control project for Panay ok’d

ILOILO City – The Investment Coordinating Committee (ICC) of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) Board approved the inclusion of the Panay River Basin Flood Control Project in the 28th Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Yen Loan Package.

The project is expected to address the flooding problem in Capiz, one of the flood-prone areas in Western Visayas.

With a fund requirement of about P5 billion, the project has three components -- the dredging and improvement of the Panay River Basin, construction of the Cogon Hamulauon Floodway, and a flood forecasting and warning system.

Engr. Gilberto Altura, chief of the Project Development, Programming and Budgeting Division of NEDA in Region 6, said the project is just waiting for the fund release.

The Philippine Government through the Department of Finance (DOF) and the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) will be the one to transmit the approved project to the Government of Japan for the downloading of the fund.

The construction of the project is expected to commence in 2011 and will be completed by 2015. (PNA)

by A. Lumaque

Roxas City (17 March) -- The Capiz provincial government will host the "Dance Xchange: 2nd Philippine International Dance Workshop and Festival" from April 15 to 20 to strengthen the network among dance organizations as well as diplomatic relations among participating countries.

Dance companies from the different countries have been invited by the organizers to have a venue for a dialogue and to present the different forms of dance, said an online article posted at www.capiztour.wordpress.com.

The upcoming activity aims to provide a venue for interaction and facilitate learning among dancers, directors, dance teachers, choreographers, tourism and cultural officers and dance scholars.

It will also provide new ideas and inspiration that will stimulate the creativity of the dance educators, directors and choreographers and showcase the unique dances of each country to facilitate cultural understanding.

An afternoon street dancing will open the Dance Xchange.

The opening of the festival on April 15 coincides with the highlight of the provincial government's 109th anniversary celebration of the establishment of the civil government and commemoration of Pres. Manuel Roxas death anniversary. (PIA)

Capiz to celebrate 109th foundation day anniversary

by A. Lumaque

Roxas City (16 March) -- A consultative meeting was recently conducted by the Capiz provincial government in line with its preparation for the 109th foundation day commemoration of the establishment of civil government from April 13 to 15 this year.

The celebration dubbed "CAPIZtahan" will showcase the province's historical and cultural heritage and accomplishments through various activities like blessing and inauguration of projects, awarding of Outstanding Capiceños, and various performances.

"Capiztahan will end with the most awaited fireworks competition at the Villareal stadium." Said Provincial Tourism Officer Alphonsus Tesoro.

During the celebration, the Capiz Visitors Convention Bureau (CVCB) will attempt to set a Guinness Book of World Records by its three-kilometer seafood grill that will be connected along the city's major thoroughfares.

Tesoro added that the final day of the celebration will segue with the opening of the Dance Xchange: 2nd Philippine International Dance Workshop and Festival to be hosted by the provincial government. It will include activities such as artists forum, dance workshops, festival of dances and outreach performances.

The Capiztahan highlight coincides with the death anniversary of President Manuel Roxas who was the last President of the Philippine Commonwealth and the first President of the Philippine Republic.

Roxas served as the province's first congressional district representative and senator before elected as the country's highest ranking official from 1946 until his untimely death on April 15, 1948.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has declared April 15 as a special holiday throughout the province through Republic Act No. 9217.

RA 9217 also known as President Manuel A. Roxas Memorial Day Act was principally authored by then Capiz Congressman Rodriguez Dadivas for Capiceños to reminisce the life, ideals and principles espoused by statesman Roxas.

The law assigns the nearest Friday to April 15 as a special non-working holiday in the entire province and city, April 16 for this year, to give the people a chance to ponder on the unselfish acts of Roxas. (PIA)

Actually kahit hindi Teletech kaya ng mga Panayeño na magtayo ng sariling call center. Kahit mga 50 seater call center(simula pa lang muna, MORNING call center) para sa medical transcriptionist pwede yan!
Damu guid sang gradweyt nga mga unga from Panay nga medical courses, nursing in particular.
Pwede sila kahit mag-tatlong shift, hwag lang na magpuyat o mabago ang lifestyle nila.
I've been in the call center industry since 2001, hindi talaga maganda, puro mga sakit ang nakuha ko.(ranging from hypertension to digestive diseases).
I dont have any idea of what kind of nightlife Roxas City have.
Pero sa Kalibo may ideya ako, 7PM pa lang ng gabi run tahimik na --kaya iba ang pananaw ko kung magkakaroon ng call center dyan sa Roxas or much better METRO KALIBO.

Maganda rin na magkaroon ng mga trabaho ang mga fresh graduate nyo dyan, hwag lang sila matambay o ma-stagnant.
Maging career minded at iwasan ang magpaugtas sa mga magulang at tigilan ang uwat pahuway nga ginawarang. :)

I hope it doesn't compromise the marshland and brackish water ecosystem of Panay River Delta. Regular flooding dumps nutrient rich water and silt that supports the aquaculture/seafood industry of Roxas City and surrounding towns ^^

March 30th, 2010, 06:05 PM

I don't think the reduction in flooding will negatively affect the aquaculture industry but this floodway will definitely transect a large area of old-growth mangroves in Panay. :( Good thing the barangays along the mouth of Panay River reforested their coasts wiith mangroves, otherwise the diverted floods might cause a great deal of erosion there.

Ang gina mean ko ya migo, I hope it wouldn't be like the ones that was done in Nile River where silt and nutrient rich water was reduced due to creation of many canals and floodways. Good if the floodway will be having hydraulic spillways that would automatically open when the river reaches a critical level. there floodwaters will spillover the floodway to reduce the volume of water at Panay River.:)

March 30th, 2010, 06:19 PM

Is this is the spillway/flood gate? Then I guess this will minimize the impact of the project on the natural flow of the river except during floods.
http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1843/slide0021image041.jpg

Thats good. I think because of sensors and flood gauges all around the basin, it would be having an automatic hydraulic system that comes in handy during floods
