Nyakz! pwede pala iyon...? Baka rumor lang talaga to kasi parang hindi naman pwedeng magkaroon ng terminal sa isang malaking lote na hindi alam ng may-ari... :lol::lol::lol:

Tama ka lemuria, masyado minadali yan . Dahil dun sa lote na binili ng robinson. Wala man lang proper planning. Haha i d0nt kn0w kung pag mamay ari ito ng dimacuha kaya dun itinayo ang lot.

Dito ko nalaman lahat ng tsismis hehe:
http://batangascityleaks.blogspot.com/2012/03/robinsons-place-danger-zone.html

Akalain mo, pag nag-search ka ng "Robinsons Place Batangas City", top result ito. Haha. Hanapin nyo na lang sa blog yung info about the terminal.

Disclaimer: hindi po sa akin ang blog na yan. Na-discover ko by accident dahil lang sa search phrase na ginamit ko.

Scoop: It’s Vilma vs. Mandanas in 2013

In an exclusive report posted in the Filipino Connection, a Philippine Newspaper in Batangas, has confirmed that Cong. Hermilando “Dodo” Mandanas is considering running for Governor against Gov. Vilma Santos. Here’s the scoop…



Mas madami at mas significant ang accomplishments ni Mandanas kaysa kay Vilma Santos. Kaso lang artista ang kalaban ni Mandanas, baka sa Bauan, San Pascual at rest of 2nd district lang sya manalo.

May short attention span ang mga Pilipino kaya mahihirapan si Mandanas dito. At incumbent pa si Vilma na may asawang maimpluwensya.

Nabasa ko nga yan. Hndi ko lang pin0st dito haha. .ngsesearch dn ako,, maan0malya ata haha. . Di ko alam kung t0to0 or paninira.

Matinding labanan ang mangyayari sa 2013 . .tama ka mas significant ang mga nagawa ni mandanas. Talagang ramdam m0. . Parang ganito yan nung c marc leviste ang lumaban sa vice gov .kalaban c chrstopher de leon, hndi nanalo c de leon. Mukhang mhgpt ang laban ngaun for sure. .dikit yan. Sa 2nd district nga di nanalo si berberabe haha. Di pa natatalo c mandanas. . Vote wisely. .

Kung sa accomplishment pala, mukhang kay Mandanas ako... Sa totoo lang, ala din ako masyadong naririnig na significant accomplishment ni Santos sa Batangas though malakas talaga ang charisma niya siguro kaya hindi na masyadong napapansin...

Kay mandanas din ako tol. Ramdam ko kc nung sya ang umupo dito. Major infra ang ipinagawa haha. C ate vi naman mer0n din. Ang dami schools at hospital ang napagawa. . Bahala na ang tao. Pero ito masasabi ko ANG MAY NAGAWA NA AY TUMATATAK. . .Haha. .

Eto going to Caysasay Shrine. Madalas ako dumaan dito
Hagdan-hagdan is actually 125 granite steps from the Caysasay Church beside the Pansipit river which leads up to the center of town. Originally, the steps were made of adobe stone, but these were later replaced with granite or batong song-song in the year 1850 by Fr. Celestino Mayordomo. Itis now dedicated to the memory ofSan Lorenzo Ruiz.

The DILG ranking has been assessed using the Local Government Performance Management System (LGPMS) indicator that looks into a holistic perspective of governance from administration and fundamentals of good governance, to social, economic and environmental services.

Batangas has been recognized by the DILG through its Seal of Good Housekeeping award...here's the full report...


Pamahalaang Panlalawigan ng Batangas Nakukuha ng 95% Total Rating sa Local Governance Performance Management System
Agosto 1, 2012

Nakamit ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan ng Batangas ang 4.74 total rating o halos 95% score sa pinakahuling Over-all Performance Index ng Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS), ayon kay Department of the Interior and Local Government Regional Director for CALABARZON Josefina Castilla-Go noong ika-30 ng Hulyo, 2012 sa provincial auditorium ng Batangas.

Ang LGPMS, isang inisyatibo ng DILG, ay isang pagtataya o assessment at management and development tool na nagbibigay-kakayahan sa mga lokal na pamahalaan upang matukoy ang kanilang mga kakayahan at limitasyon sa paghahatid ng mahahalagang pampublikong serbisyo. Nagbibigay ito ng mga benchmark data na maaaring magamit sa pag-prioritize ng mga programa, pagbabalangkas ng patakaran at direksyon nito ng mga LGUs.

Binigyang papinuri din ni Go ang administrasyon ni Governor Vilma Santos Recto dahil sa pagpapatupad nito mula pa noong taong 2009 ng Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) na nagagamit upang matukoy ang mga tamang benepisyaryo para sa mga tulong pinansyal at mga programa patungkol sa feeding, pabahay, patubig at toilet na ipinagkaloob ng pamahalaang panlalawigan.

Ayon sa Performance Index, nakuha ng pamahalaang lalawigan ang sumusunod na mga ratings sa limang Key Areas: Administrative Governance – 4.33, Social Governance-4.95, Economic Governance-4.85, Environmental governance-4.78, Valuing Fundamentals of Governace-5.00 total ratings of Local Governance Performance Management System.

Ang magandang grado ito sa kanyang panunungkulan ay natanggap ng gobernador matapos gawaran ng DILG ng Seal of Good Housekeeping ang pamahalaang panlalawigan noong ika-8 ng Disyembre 2011. - Ellen Asebo Llentada Source (http://vilmasantos-recto.com/)

Due to bad weather recently and the past weeks, our trip is being cancelled. We do need to clarify po kasi din if our study is really feasible and what is specifically the project of the government/the Batangas government itself. Is it an international airport po for passengers or an airport for business/commercial (general aviation). I am hoping for your response. Please po, your response is very much needed. Thank you very much.
You can also e-mail me po at bie0131@yahoo.com for additional concern. Thank you.

Batangas City, nagpaabot ng tulong samga biktima ng pagbahasa Maynila
By Mamerta P. De Castro Friday 10th of August 2012 Tweet BATANGAS CITY, Agosto 10 (PIA) -- Naghatid ang pamahalang lungsod ng tulong sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo sa Maynila kamakailan lamang.
May P500,000 halaga ng donasyon na bigas, noodles at mga de lata ang dinala ng kinatawan ng pamahalaang lungsod sa mga flood victims sa Valenzuela at iba pang bahagi ng Maynila.
Ipinadala rin ni Mayor Vilma Dimacuha ang 14 na miyembro ng rescue team ng City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council upang tumulong sa rescue and relief operations sa Marikina City at Cainta, Rizal. Dala ng mga ito ang mga rubber boats, telecommunications gear at iba pang rescue equipment ng pamahalaang lungsod.
Nanawagan naman si Dimacuha sa mga kababayan niya na suportahanang inilunsad niyang “Handog ng mga Batangueño” upang makatulong sa mga biktima ng kalamidad.
Sinabi ni Dimacuha na ang mga donasyong ipagkakaloob sa mga biktima ng baha hindi lamang sa Metro Manila kundi sa mga karatig lalawigan sa Calabarzon ay pwedengdalhin sa City Social Welfare and Development Office.
Nangangailangan ng bigas, bottled water, de lata, noodles, damit at mga gamit sa pagtulog kagaya ng banig, kumot, unan at iba pa.
Samantala, wala namang naiulat nanasaktan o naging matinding pagbaha o nasirang ari-arian sa lungsod ng Batangas sa patuloy na pag-ulan sa maraming bahagi ng Luzon. (Marie v. Lualhati-PIO Batangas/CPG/MPDC,PIA-Batangas)

same sya kay Mayor Duterte ng Davao though mas malaking bahagi ng sarili nilang calamity fund ang itinulong nila sa Central Luzon... nasa 5M I think...

Pero anu't anuman, maraming salamat sa iba pang mga LGUs na talagang nag-e-extend ng tulong sa mga nasalantang bayan...

Mas maganda yan.,ngtutulungan. Galing ng davao.,laki ng binigay. Kudos to mayora Duterte. .

Does anyone know kung saan sa Batangas ang planta ng AG & P? Good news eto to Batanguenos like me. :)

American entrepreneur bets big on PH

American businessman Joseph Sigelman always seems to be at the right place at the right time.

After dabbling in investment banking, this Ivy Leaguer from New York built a successful business process outsourcing (BPO) enterprise in India that expanded to 42 countries.

After that, he moved on to Latin America and co-founded a thriving engineering-construction business that rode on the region’s infrastructure boom.

So perhaps it’s no coincidence that Sigelman is now putting his chips into the Philippines—and into a business where his previous experience in growing cross-border BPO and construction businesses comes in handy.

AG&P is a 112-year-old company with a rich legacy, having built the Rizal Monument, the country’s first steel bridge and Manila’s water and sewerage system. But has been in hibernation since the Asian crisis. It was originally an American company that was acquired by industrialist Roberto Villanueva Sr. in the 1970s when Pres. Marcos instituted parity laws. DMCI took over in 1997 then sold to Sigelman.

It was the entrepreneur in him who saw a gem in AG&P, whose fabrication complex in Batangas is by far the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia.

Specialization

AG&P’s specialization has evolved to what is called modularization, or building large pieces of infrastructure such as power plants or refineries piece by piece (or module), much like how one builds using Lego blocks.

The difference is that AG&P produces giant blocks out of its plant in Batangas and ships these to clients all over the world.

In late 2010, he organized a group that acquired Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Co. of Manila Inc. (AG&P) from the Consunji group’s DMCI Holdings.

The process starts with modular engineering—taking the details of design and making it more “constructible.” Based on such engineering design, AG&P starts fabricating.

“AG&P takes care of the engineering, fabrication, assembly, the load-out, the heavy lift, transportation, the heavy lift on the other side and we bring our people to actually set these things up, to do the installation, the operation and maintenance. It’s the entire life cycle of the project,” he says.

It’s a sweet spot to be in this kind of business at this point in time, Sigelman says.

“In the next five years there will be a surge in infrastructure projects in this country and we want to be a leader in that,” Sigelman says, adding that AG&P could team up with the likes of its former owner DMCI in such projects. Because AG&P does not build foundations or civil works, he says it’s not competing with local construction giants like DMCI.

Outside the Philippines, he adds that global demand for infrastructure is very high.

Integrated systems

At present, AG&P can produce 60,000 metric tons of processed steel a year which should go up to 100,000 MT a year in the next few months, Sigelman says.

Apart from increasing the yard’s footprint in Batangas, he expanded the management team, built systems and improved cost structure.

Sigelman estimates that AG&P will invest $200 million to $250 million over the next 12 to 18 months into the business. By end of this year, it expects to employ 3,500 people in its yard which by the middle of next year, grow to several thousands, many of whom will be women.

“We’re focused on diversity. I’d like to have 50 percent of our welders to be female,” Sigelman says, noting it’s not true that welding is an occupation for men. “You don’t have to lift anything. It’s doing it with a very steady hand,” he says. AG&P’s best welder in a recent project for British Petroleum, he says, is a lady who was given a citation by BP itself.

“We’re giving people in Batangas an opportunity to work in a safe environment where they have a long term career. It’s a lot better option than going to work in Saudi Arabia,” he says, adding this in turn will also help earn foreign exchange for the country even without having to export workers.

Batangas Port to become distribution Hub for Automotive Trade in the Country

Batangas Port, the country’s largest seaport, is preparing to become Distribution Hub for Automotive Trade following the modernization of its Car-handling services that allow them to handle a greater number of automotive..

Batangas port, operated by ATI, is now capable of handling cars with throughput capacity of up to 43,000 CBUs, making the Country’s largest vehicle-handling hub ports, is set to surpass last year's record….

Recently, the Port of Batangas handling Cars from Toyota Philippines Inc. with more than 200 CBUs, including the newest Toyota's High end cars which are soon to hit the roads across the Philippines.…Here’s the report…

Asian Terminals Welcomes Toyota's High-End Cars To Batangas Port

Publicly-listed port operator Asian Terminals Inc. welcomed Toyota Motors Philippines Corp.
(TMPC) to the shores of its International Port of Batangas which now serves as the leading car manufacturer's home port for completelybuilt-units (CBUs).

ATI's modern Batangas Port recently took delivery of more than 200 CBUs, including Toyota's new hybrid cars which are soon to hit the roads across the Philippines. The vehicles were delivered on board Toyofuji Shipping's MV Tocho on its maiden voyage to the port. TMPC is a testament to ATI’s growing list of high-valued clients benefiting from the competitive ports and logistics services at the Batangas Port, the emerging gateway port of southern Luzon. Aside from being a fully secured facility, Batangas Port is highly accessible to dealers and customers in the fast growing region of Calabarzon as it is connected directly to the port flyover and major highways.

ATI Batangas facilitated the delivery of close to 43,000 CBUs in 2011, making up a majority of the Philippine market.
Car handling services at the Batangas Port was further boosted in May this year with the opening of a world-class vehicle pre-delivery inspection facility inside ATI’s Batangas Container Terminal. The facility is managed by industry leader Ceva Logistics Philippines Inc.

ATI operates Manila South Harbor, the Port of Batangas, Batangas Container Terminal, Inland Clearance Depot Laguna and the Sta.

Mesa Container Yard in Manila. It is also a strategic partner at the South Cotabato Integrated Port in General Santos City.

Last July, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas - Central Application and Licensing Group approved Bangko Kabayan's request for authority to establish three (3) branches in chosen municipalities of Quezon Province. This will be the first time that BK is branching outside of Batangas. "We firmly believe that Bangko Kabayan is ready to serve the financial needs of people in Quezon and other neighboring provinces in the succeeding years. We want to show the families and entrepreneurs the kind of service that we've provided for Batanguenos in the past 55 years. It's very exciting." These are the words of President Atty. Francis S. Ganzon, during their last strategic planning session with top management and senior supervisors.

Bangko Kabayan will celebrate its 55th Anniversary on August 19, 2012. The bank is scheduled to open their first branch in Quezon by September, and the next 2 within the fourth quarter of the year.

Electricity Demand Still Growing in Batangas

The demand for electricity continues to grow in Batangas as surging economic growth in the province..

To accommodate this, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines is set to expand transmission lines in the province..Here’s the report…


NGCP sets upgrade of Southern Luzon facilities to accommodate demand growth
By: Euan Paulo C. Añunuevo, InterAksyon.com
August 20, 2012

MANILA - The National Grid Corp. of the Philippines is set to upgrade its transmission facilities in Southern Luzon to accommodate demand growth from industries located in the region.

The company said it has earmarked P515 million to increase the capacity of its substations in Batangas and Laguna.

"The capacity expansion is required to maintain the provision of N-1 contingency as the majority of the connected customers in the involved substations are expected to grow [in] the next five years," NGCP said.

N-1 is a term for system redundancy that allows the grid to operate in case a major power facility trips.

NGCP plans to install two units of 300-megavolt ampere transformers, replacing the existing 100-megavolt ampere transformers in its Batangas substation.

NGCP will also install one 100-megavolt ampere transformer unit at the company's Bay substation in Laguna.

The upgrades will allow the company to service the growing requirements of its customers that are connected to the substations.

Data from NGCP’s planning and engineering group indicates that the growth rates of some of its big customers are as follows:


Atlantic Gulf & Pacific Co. (3.91 percent),

Bobcock- Hitachi (3.09 percent),

San Miguel Pure Foods, Inc. (3.78 percent),

Puyat Steel Corp. (2.33 percent),

Keppel Philippine Shipyard (2.49 percent),

Ibaan Electric & Engineering Corp. (3.53 percent).

Batelec 2 (2.61 percent),

Lima Land (3.41 percent),

Philtown (3.51 percent)

Republic Cement (3.26 percent), and

Coco Chemical Industries (2.48 percent).

Nestlé Philippines opens new coffee center in Batangas city
Published on 21 August 2012


Coffee farmers in Luzon can now gain better access to the latest coffee farming techniques and robusta seedlings as Nestlé Philippines Inc. (NPI) recently launched its newly completed Nestlé Lipa Integrated Commercial Center (Nestlé LICC) in Lipa, Batangas City.


The Nestlé LICC is only the second of its kind the Philippines, the first being the Nestlé Experimental and Demonstration Farm (NEDF) in Tagum City, Davao del Norte. Similar to the NEDF in Tagum, the five-hectare, P25-million facility in Lipa City will serve as a one-stop shop for coffee farmers. It will house a Robusta seedlings production nursery, a local research and development center for new coffee selections, training and techno-demo center, a buying station and a composting facility for organic fertilizer.

“We intend to replicate the success of our first Nestlé Experimental and Demonstration Farm in Tagum, Davao, which has helped farmers mostly within the Mindanao region to set-up and to sustain their coffee farms,” said Arthur Baria, Agriculture Head of NPI.

“The NEDF in Batangas has the capacity to produce 500,000 seedlings over the next year but can accommodate as much as one million seedlings over time. It is also key to further promoting our Nestlé Better Farming Practices which adhere to the principles of the Sustainable Agricultural Initiative and the 4C [Common Code for the Coffee Community],” he added.

Regular training programs that will be provided by the Nestlé LICC include Coffee Technology Training for new farmers, Coffee Specialist Training for large-scale coffee plantation personnel and Department of Agriculture technicians, and on-the-job training that focuses on the end-to-end technology of coffee growing.Read Full (http://www.manilatimes.net/index.php/business/top-business-news/29373-nestle-philippines-opens-new-coffee-center-in-batangas-city)

After nearly two years without major Infrastructures from Pnoy Administration… Batangas’ critical Infrastructures Finally Getting the Attention it deserves ...Kudos to Sen. Recto and Gov. Vi:applause::applause::applause:

126 Million at 50 Million Infra Projects Mula sa National Government, Inaprubahan na
July 31, 2012

Masayang ibinalita ni Governor Vilma Santos Recto sa Flag Raising Ceremony sa provincial auditorium ng lalawigan ng Batangas noong ika-30 ng Hulyo 2012 ang positibong resulta ng kanyang hiniling kay President Benigno Aquino III para sa pagpapagawa ng iba’t ibang infrastructure projects sa lalawigan.

Inaprubahan ng Department of Budget and Management, sa pamamagitan ni Secretary Butch Abad, ang pondong nagkakahalaga ng 126 million na gugugulin para sa mga pagawain, tulad ng mga mahahalagang “farm to market” roads.

Dagdag pa dito ang ipinagkaloob ng Department of Public Works and Highways, na pinamumunuan ni Secretary Rogelio Singson, ng halagang 50 million pesos para sa pagpapagawa ng sampung tulay sa lalawigan.

Nabigyang katuparan ang mga nasabing proyekto sa pakikipag-ugnayan ni Senator Ralph G. Recto sa mga ahensya ng national government, bilang pag-ayuda ng Batangueñong senador sa kanyang butihing maybahay, na si Gov Vi, at sa kanyang mga kababayan sa lalawigan ng Batangas. - Ellen Asebo Llentada

May 11 barangay halls na din po ang naipatayo at napaayos natin para may presentableng tanggapan sa mga barangay para tugunan ang inyong mga pangangailangan. Isinaayos na rin po natin ang mga daanan ng mga pedestrians sa pamamagitan ng pagsasaayos ng ating mga sidewalk at mga drainage naman para maiwasan ang mga baradong daanan ng tubig lalo na pag umuulan para maiwasan ang pagbabaha. Patuloy po nating ginawang ligtas ang mga kalsada sa mga dumadaan at naglalakad lalo na sa gabi sa ating patuloy na pagpapa-ilaw ng mga kalsada.

Sa ngayon po ay patuloy nating pinag-aaralan at pinagpaplanuhan ang ating Parking Building o isang malaking gusali na paradahan ng mga sasakyan na itatayo natin sa pagitan ng Building I and II sa palengke. Ito po ay may kabuoang 3,000 sq. meters na may 4 na palapag. Sa kasalukuyan ay nagawa na ang floor plan nito. Ito po ay plano nating ipatayo sa pamamagitan ng Build, Operate and Transfer Scheme, kung saan may pribadong mamumuhunan ang magpapatayo at magpapatakbo dito sa loob ng ilang taon na mapapagkasunduan at sa takdang panahon ay ililipat na sa pamamahala ng ating lungsod. Sa ganitong paraan wala tayong magagastos, madadagdagan natin ang paradahan dito sa ating palengke para sa mga mamimili, mapapaluwag natin ang daloy ng trapiko sa kabayanan at madadagdagan pa natin ang mga paupahang pwesto sa ating palengke. Layunin din nito na mapalakas ang benta ng ating manininda ng sa gayon ay umangat ang kanilang kabuhayan.

Sa atin pong pakikipagkasundo sa SM, isang Grand Terminal po ang itinatayo ngayon sa compound ng mall na ito upang maging centralized na ang mga paradahan ng mga pampasaherong sasakyan dito sa ating lungsod, tulad ng mga bus, jeep at tricycle na papasok at palabas ng ating lungsod. Inaasahan natin na sa pamamagitan nito ay maiibsan ang bigat ng daloy ng trapiko sa kabayanan. Kaugnay nito, atin pong inaasahan na mabibigyan natin ng prangkisa ang mga kolorum na tricycle upang legal silang makapasada ano mang oras sa kadahilanang kakailanganin na ang dagdag na bilang tricycle na iikot sa bayan upang magdala at pumick up ng pasahero sa itinatayong Grand Terminal…

Sa taong 2012, may mga infrastructure projects na po tayong naisagawa na may kabuoang halagang mahigit sa P 33 milyon at may nai-bid na mahigit sa P 35 milyon ang halaga.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Nais po natin, na tayo dito sa ating pamahalaan ay hindi maiwan ng pag-usad ng teknolohiya upang higit na mapabuti ang ating serbisyo. Patuloy po nating kinakalap ang mga impormasyon sa ating nasasakupan, lalo na sa gamit ng ating lupa at ito po ay inilalagay natin sa isang sistema na tinatawag na Geographic Information System. Ito po ang tutulong sa atin upang mas mapabilis, mas maging epektibo ang ating pagpaplano sa ating lungsod. Kaya nga po sa ating website na lipa.gov.ph ay maaari na tayong mag-download ng mga mapa ng ating lungsod.

Patuloy po ang pagbubuo nito upang mas madami tayong impormasyon na mailagay, na hindi lamang tayong nasa pamahalaan ang makikinabang kundi pati ang ating mga anak na maaaring mangailangan ng impormasyon sa kanilang mga pag-aaral o ang mga negosyanteng nais mamuhunan dito sa ating lungsod.

Patuloy din pong pinagaganda at pinabibilis ang mga serbisyo ng ating pamahalaan sa pamamagitan ng pagko-computerize ng mga sistemang ating ginagamit. Hindi po tayo tumitigil sa pag-a-upgrade ng mga sistema natin para maiwasan ang mahahabang pila sa mga tanggapang inyong kinukunan ng mga dokumento.

Ngayon po ay mas pinabilis natin ang pagpa-process ng ng pag-iisue ng business permits. Pina-ikli po natin ang mga steps, mula 14 ay ginawa nating 5 steps na lang.

Sa taong 2013, magtatakda po tayo ng special day para sa mga physically handicapped, mga buntis at mga senior citizen na businessmen. At atin din pong gagawing automated na ang application ng permit ng public utility jeep.

Mas mabilis na din po ngayon ang pagbabayad ng buwis dahil naka-link na ang mga records natin mula sa Assessor’s Office patungo sa bayadan sa Treasurer’s Office.

Nakakapag-issue na po tayo ng mga birth certificates sa loob lamang ng 30 minuto. Sa taong 2013, maglalagay na din po tayo ng Priority Lane para sa Senior Citizen, mga buntis at mga may kapansanan. Magkakaroon din po tayo ng libreng birth certificate para sa mga batang kinder.

Patuloy din po nating ginagamit ang mga sistemang ibinigay sa atin ng national government upang maiwasan ang red tape at graft and corruption.

HEALTH

Bago ninyo ako pinagkatiwalaang maging inyong alkalde, ako po ay nagbitaw ng isang pangako. Isang pangakong nag-ugat sa nakita kong miserableng kalagayan ng mga mahihirap nating kababayan na nagkakaroon ng karamdaman. Nakita ko po kung paano sila halos mamalimos at karamihan sa kanila ay namamatay ng hindi nalalapatan ng lunas dahil sa kahirapan. Sa mga ganitong pagkakataon alam ko pong mas lalo nilang nararamdaman kung gaano kaaba ang maging mahirap kaya po napakatagal na panahon ko nang pinangarap na magkaroon ng libreng pampublikong pagamutan para sa mga mahihirap. May mga nag-alinlangan kung maitatayo natin ang naipangakong ospital dahil sa napakaraming hadlang, subalit hindi ako tumigil hangga’t hindi naisasakatuparan ang pangarap na ito at sa tulong ng Panginoong Diyos ay nagtagumpay ang magandang layunin kaya ipinagmamalaki kong ibalita na nakatayo na at malapit nang buksan ang katuparan ng atin pangarap, ang Ospital ng Lipa! Isang libreng ospital na magbibigay ng dignidad sa mga mahihirap nating kababayan na nagkakasakit dahil sisiguraduhin kong kaalinsabay sa libreng paglunas sa kanilang karamdaman ay tatanggapin sila ng may panggalang sa kabila ng kanilang kahirapan.

Ang mga gastusin po sa pagpapatakbo ng hospital bukod sa ating lokal na pondo aymanggagaling sa ating contribution sa PhilHealth kaya noon pa man ay ginawan na natin ng paraan ang pamimigay ng PhilHealth cards sa tulong ng iba’t-ibang ahensya at ang Provincial Government ng Batangas sa pamumuno ni Gov. Vilma Santos Recto. Nakausap ko na rin po at nangako ng suporta ang PCSO sa pamamagitan ng PCSO endowment at kaalinsabay nito isinasaayos na rin ang MAS Blue Card. Sa kasalukuyan, hindi tayo tumitigil upang mailagay sa ating ospital ang mga kagamitan at pasilidad na kakailanganin upang maging dekalidad ang serbisyo dito. Pinagaaralan at pinagpaplanuhan pong mabuti ang pagpapatakbo ng ating ospital upang maisigurado na magiging maganda at maayos ang serbisyo sa tulong ng ating mga consultants at experto sa pagpapatakbo ng ospital.

Sadya pong naging napakamapangahas ng proyektong ito na kung tayo po ay pinanghinaan ng loob ay malamang na hindi naisakatuparan. Napakaraming kaawa-awang kababayan natin dito sa Lipa ang naging inspirasyon natin upang di matakot ipaglaban ang Ospital ng Lipa. Kung hindi ngayon, kailan pa? Kung hindi tayo, sino?

Tayo po ay namigay din ng Hospitalization Assistance at Financial / Medical Assistance sa mahigit 2,700 nating kababayan. May budget po tayong P 14.5 milyon para sa gamot sa taong 2012.

Mayroon na po tayong Animal Bite Center para sa mga nakagat ng aso at pusa. Ito po ay nasa ating Urban District Health Center.

Mayroon na din po tayong Centralized TB Laboratory sa nabanggit na Health Center. Ikilulugod ko din pong ibalita sa inyo na tayo ay nabigyan ng award ng Provincial Government ng Batangas bilang City with the Highest Cure Rate sa sakit na TB.

Dinadala na din po natin ngayon sa mga barangay ang ating serbisyong pangkalusugan sa pamamagitan ng ating Mobile Clinic na patuloy na nagbibigay ng libreng dental service, laboratory sevices, ECG at chest X-ray. Tatlong beses sa isang linggo ay kasama po natin ang ating Mobile Clinic sa ating Barangayan para maghatid ng mga nasabing serbisyo.

Atin pong pina-igting ang ating kampanya laban sa Dengue dahil tumataas po ang kaso dito sa atin. Ako po mismo ay nakatutok dito upang mapahinto natin ang pagdami at paglala ng kaso nito sa ating lungsod. Kaya nga po minarapat nating bumili ng Hematology Analyzer na ginagamit para masuri ng mas mabilis ang dugo ng isang pasyente at matukoy kung sya ay posibleng may Dengue.

Sa pakikipagtulungan po ng Lipa Medical Society at ng Lipa Dental Society, nagkaroon tayo ng Medical at Dental Missions. Namigay din po tayo ng libreng pustiso at salamin sa mahigit apat na libong katao sa ilalim ng ating proyektong Magandang Ngiti, Malinaw na Paningin.

Nagkaroon po tayo ng medical and dental missions para sa mga kababayan nating may kapansanan.

Ipinagpatuloy din po natin ang newborn screening upang matukoy kung ang isang sanggol ay mayroong congenital metabolic disorder na maaaring magdulot ng mental retardation o kaya’y kamatayan kung hindi maaagapan.

Napababa din po natin ang bilang ng mga sanggol na namamatay at nagtala tayo ng Infant Mortality rate na 8.83 noong 2011 na dating 14.72 noong 2010.

Ilan lamang po iyan sa mga nagawa natin para sa programang pangkalusugan. At patuloy din po nating pagtutuunan ng pansin ang pagpapalusog ng mga Lipeno. Dahil bukod po sa lunas ay mas mabuti po lagi ang pag-agap sa pagkakasakit. Sabi nga natin, “An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure”.

EDUCATION

Ngayon pong taong ito ay mas pinalawak natin ang ating programa sa Edukasyon. Naniniwala po ako na sa pamamagitan ng sapat na edukasyon, kasama ang sipag, tiyaga at konting diskarte sa buhay, ay uunlad ang isang tao. Ayaw ko po sanang maging hadlang ang kahirapan upang ang isang bata ay makapag-aral at makapagtapos. Kaya po dinagdagan natin ang ating mga scholars. Mula sa 300 scholars ng ako ay umupo nong taong 2010 ngayon po ay may mahigit 12 libong kabataan na nag-aaral sa kolehiyo ang scholars natin. Kasama na din po dyan ang mahigit 6 na libong nag-aaral sa Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Lipa ganon din po ang mga tumatanggap ng financial assistance para masigurado natin na may pandagdag sila sa kanilang mga gastusin sa pag-aaral. Pangarap po natin na dumating ang panahon na wala nang bata dito sa Lipa ang hindi makakapag-aral dahil sa kahirapan ng sa ganon ay masigurado natin ang magandang kinabukasan ng ating mga kaabayan. Tayo po ay sinusuportahan at tinutulangan dito ng mga kolehiyong ka-partner natin ngayon gaya ng Batangas State University, Lyceum of the Philippines Batangas, University of Batangas, Lipa City Colleges, Batangas College of Arts and Sciences at STI na nagbibigay ng 50% discount sa mga tuition fees. Kaya po lubos ang pasasalamat natin sa kanilang lahat at sana’y hindi sila magsawang sumuporta sa ating programang ito.

Ngayong taong ito po ay nadagdagan ng mahigit isang libo at dalawang daan ang ating mga mag-aaral sa Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Lipa. Inalis po natin ang mga binabayaran ng mga estudyanteng taga-Lipa, kaya libreng-libre na po ang mga taga-Lipa na nag-aaral dito. Binuksan po natin ang kursong Business Administration upang imulat ang isipan ng ating mga kabataan sa pagnenegosyo at di lamang sila manatiling empleyado, sa halip ay magbigay sila ng employment opportunities sa iba balang araw.

Lubos po ang ating pasasalamat sa De La Salle Lipa sa 50 computer units na ibinigay nila sa ating Kolehiyo. Ito po ay lubos na makatutulong sa ating mga estudyanteng nag-aaral dito.

Sa school year 2013 – 2014, mag-oofer po tayo ng karagdagang kurso na mas medaling makapagbibigay ng trabaho sa magtatapos dito.

Ang ating Special Education Fund na nagkakahalaga ng P 101.35 Milyon sa taong 2011, na kabahagi ng programang pang-edukasyon sa buwis na inyong ibinabayad ay napunta sa pagpapagawa ng mga school buildings na may kabuoang 34 na classrooms sa elementary at sekondarya. Dahil po dito tayo ay may isang classroom sa bawat 39 na estudyante sa elementary at isang classroom sa bawat 51 estudyante sa high school. Nilagpasan na po natin ang ating target na 1:45 na classroom-student ratio sa elementary at di na po tayo nalalayo sa ating target na 1:45 classroom-student ratio sa high school. Bagamat alam ko na may mga paaralan na may kulang pa din, hindi po tayo titigil ng pagpapagawa ng mga classrooms hanggang sa maging sapat sa dami ng mag-aaral ang mga ito. Kasama din po sa pondong ito ang pagre-repair ng iba pang mga classrooms, school buildings at pagpapagawa ng mga facilities ng iba’t-ibang paaralan dito sa ating lungsod. Mula din po dito ay may pitumpo’t-isang (71) teachers tayo na locally funded o pinasasahod mula sa pondong ito. Dahil po dito meron po tayong 1 guro sa bawat 42 estudyante sa elementarya at 1 guro sa bawat 46 estudyante ng high school. Ngayong taon pong ito ay may pondo tayong 105.50 Milyong piso sa SEF. May nakalinya pa po tayong ipagagawa dahil ang ating enrollment po sa elementarya ay tumataas ng 9 % at 8% sa high school kada taon.

Bukod po dito, namigay din po tayo ng mga bags at school supplies sa mga batang nasa grades 1 to 3 bilang ayuda sa kanilang pag-aaral at ng di na problemahin ng mga magulang kung paano magsisimula ng pagpasok ang kanilang mga anak. Nagbigay din po tayo ng P300 monthly allowance sa 115 na mga batang nasa elementarya na nanganganib tumigil sa pagpasok dahil sa kahirapan. Namigay din po tayo ng allowance sa mga batang nagtatrabaho at batang may kapansanan.

Sa kabuoang 105 Day Care Centers natin, 100 na po ang na-upgrade sa OB Montessori Centers. Lima na lamang po ang kailangan nating ma-upgrade pa. Ito po ay kailangan upang mas maging maganda ang kalidad ng pagtuturo sa mga bata na makibagay sa ibang bata at maihanda sila sa pormal na edukasyon kahit sa pribadong paaralan sila pumasok sa hinaharap.

Noong nakaraang taon po ay binuksan natin ang ating Lipa City Center for Training and Development sa dating building ng KLL sa may lumang city hall. Dito po ay nagbibigay tayo ng maiikli at libreng training courses na madaling magbibigay ng trabaho sa mga magsisipagtaposdito. Sa ngayon po ay may 2 batch na tayo ng graduates na may kabuoang 223. Sila po ay tumapos ng Automotive Servicing, Consumer Electronics Servicing, Housekeeping, Massage Therapy, Computer Hardware Servicing, Hairdressing, Motorcycle/Small Engine Servicing at PC Operation. Madami na po sa kanila ang hindi pa tapos ay may naghihintay ng trabaho, ang iba ay kumikita ng 300-500 kada kleyente sa kanilang sariling kakayahan bilang mga massage therapists at ang iba naman ay hindi na nga naka-attend ng graduation at nakaalis na pa-abroad. Patuloy po natin itong pag-iibayuhin sapagkat tunay na nakita natin na malaki ang maitutulong nito sa pagangat ng kabuhayan ng mga nagsipagtapos dito.

ENVIRONMENT

Katuwang po ng isang malusog na sambayanam ang isang malinis at maayos na kapaligiran. Kaya po pinahahalagahan natin ang ating Environment. Sa ilalim po ng ating 2 Million Trees Project, nakapagtanim na po tayo ng mahigit sa tatlong daang libong puno sa ating mga barangay, kabundukan at mga kagubatan. Layunin po natin na makapagtanim ng 2 milyong puno sa ating lungsod upang kung di man natin muling maibalik ang lamig na nararanasan natin noong una dito sa ating lungsod ay mabawasan naman kahit paano ang di magandang epekto ng Global Warming. Gayundin ito ay makakatulong upang maiwasan ang pagbabaha na siyang sanhi ng matinding hirap at pagdurusa ng mga naninirahan na naging biktima nito sa maraming lugar ditto sa ating bansa.

Patuloy din po ang Rehabilitation ng ating dumpsite. Mayroon na po tayong Eco Center at butterfly garden dito. Isinasagawa din po natin ang Coastal Clean-up at Bantay Ilog Project. Sa bisa po ng Ordinance No 01-2011, ipinagbawal natin ang paggamit ng Styrofoam at ilang klase ng plastic dito sa ating lungsod. Ang Styrofoam at plastic ay hindi natutunaw at nananatili kahit ilang daang taon ang lumipas at malaki ang kanilang kinalaman sa pagkasira ng kalikasan. May mga nagalit po sa atin dahil nakabawas sa kanilang hanap-buhay, pati po ang mga nahuli at napagmulta. Ngunit madami din naman po ang natuwa dahil anila’y talagang malaking kabawasan sa basura nila ang pagpapatupad nito. Sa katunayan po ay hindi naman tayo una sa ganitong batas, ito po ay ipinapatupad na din sa iba’t ibang lugar sa Pilipinas. At madami na din po ang sumunod sa atin. Isipin na lang po natin na sa munting hakbang na ito ay may nagawa tayo para sa ating kinabukasan at kinabukasan ng ating kaapo-apohan.

Nagpapasalamat din po tayo sa mga may ari ng mga establisyemyento, magtitinda at mga negosyanteng nandidito sa ating lungsod dahil sa kanilang pakikiisa at pagsuporta sa ating proyektong ito. Mahirap po nung umpisa subalit atin na din po itong nakasanayan at sa palagay ko naman po ay nakita na natin ang magandang epekto nito maging sa ating mga tahanan.

LIVELIHOOD

Sa atin pong pakikipaglaban at pagsugpo sa kahirapan, kabuhayan at trabaho ang ating katugunan. Sa pamamagitan po ng ating Cooperatives Office, namahagi po tayo ng mahigit 2 milyong piso sa ating mga kababayan sa ating Micro-Finance Project. 372 na katao ang napautang natin ng mula 2 libo hanggang 20 libo ng walang interes upang matulungan silang magsimula ng kanilang munting mga negosyo. Meron din po tayong Capital Loan Assistance na may kabuoang 7.5 milyong piso simula noong December 2011 hanggang 2012 na ipinamahagi natin sa mahigit isang libo’t limang daang mga kababaihan sa ating lungsod. Ito po ay bilang tulong puhunan din sa kanila at may mga susunod pa.

Bukod po sa pagpapalakas sa mga kooperatiba, tayo po ay nagpautang din sa 6 na kooperatiba ng 1.7 milyong piso noong 2011 ng walang interes. Bilang tulong naman po sa ating mga magsasaka, bumili po tayo ng isang traktora na ipinapahiram po sa kanila ng libre. Tatlumpung (30) sako ng palay na pananim at 150 pakete ng BIO-N na nagkokondisyon ng lupa para sa mas malusog na mga pananim ang ipinamahagi natin sa mga magsasaka sa barangay San Guillermo at Rizal. Meron pa din po tayong Ornamental FishCulture, Honeybee Production, Swine Dispersal Project at Gulayan sa Kabuhayan, Kalusugan at Komunidad Project.

Ang atin naman pong City Veterinary Office ay patuloy na nagbabantay upang masigurong ligtas ang ating mga hayupan sa mga karamdaman na maaaring makaapekto sa mga hanapbuhay ng ating mga livestock farmers. Sila rin po ang nagsisiguro na ligtas ang mga karne at isdang nabibili natin sa palengke at mga pamilihan.

Nakipagtulungan din po tayo sa ating Kagalang-galang na Pangulong Benigno Simeon Aquino III, sa pamamahagi ng kanyang tulong sa ilalim ng programang 4 Ps o Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program para sa mga kababayan nating mahihirap dito sa Lipa. May mahigit 7 libong pamilya dito sa Lipa ang nakinabang dito ngayong taong ito.

Noong taong 2011, nakapagtala po tayo ng sampung Local Recruitment Activities kung saan mahigit 270 aplikante ang natanggap na sa trabaho. Meron din pong mahigit sa 1,300 aplikante ang natanggap sa trabaho sa tulong ng ating Public Employment Services Office o PESO. Hindi po tayo tumitigil sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga kumpanya upang magsolicit sa kanila ng mga job vacancies.

PEACE AND ORDER

Ang pagpapanatili po ng kapayapaan sa ating lungsod ay isa rin sa ating lubos na pinahahalagahan. Una po ay pinanatili po natin ang ugnayan natin sa mga kaagapay natin sa pangangalaga ng kapayapaan at kaligtasan sa ating lungsod tulad ng PNP, Fire Department at Bureau of Jail Management and Penology. Binigyan po natin sila ng mga kagamitan at sasakyan bilang ayuda sa kanilang mga operasyon. Katulong din po nila sa pagbabantay ng kapayapaan sa ating lungsod ang ating MAS Force at Bantay Bayan.

Sa taong 2011, nagtala po tayo ng pagbaba sa bilang ng krimen. Mula 595 noong 2010, bumaba po ito sa 545 noong 2011. Dahil po dito bumaba ang ating Monthly Crime Rate mula 2010 na 21.28 at naging 17.25 noong 2011. Akin din pong mahigpit na ipinag-utos ang tuloy-tuloy na anti-narcotics operations natin upang masawata natin ang paglaganap ng ipinagbabawal na droga dito sa atin, na siya ding madalas na ugat ng krimen.

Isa pong malungkot na realidad na hindi natin maipapagkaila na dito sa ating lungsod, katulad sa ibang lugar, ay may mga kababayan tayong biktima ng ipinagbabawal ng gamot o droga. Karamihan sa kanila ay kabataang nagmumula sa mga pamilyang walang kakayanang magbayad ng 30 hanggang 40 libong piso kada buwan upang maipagamot sila sa isang drug rehabilitation center kung kaya't para itong isang bangungot sa mga pamilyang ito na walang magawa habang patuloy na nakikita ang pagkasira ng kinabukasan ng mahal nila sa buhay.

Kaugnay po nito, atin pong itinayo and “Bahay ni Kuya” sa pamamagitan ng M.A.Sabili Foundation.

Ang “Bahay ni Kuya” ay isang drug rehabilitation center na tutulong at sisiguro na ang ating mga kababayang biktima ng droga ay mabibigyan natin ng panibagong buhay at maakay sila sa isang maunlad at tahimik ng kinabukasan sa kabila ng madilim na pinagdadaanan. Hindi po naging madali para sa akin ang pagpapatayo ng center dahil sa mga batikos at panghaharang ng ilan, pero katulad ng naipangako ko sa inyo, ako ay hindi matatakot makipaglaban para sa inyong kapakanan at ako ay nakahandang harapin ang lahat ng balakid at hirap para sa inyong ikabubuti.

Sa kasalukuyan ay tapos na ang construction ng center at may dalawampu’t isang tauhan na ang sinasanay para sa maayos na pagpapatakbo ng Bahay ni Kuya. Inaantay na lamang po ang certificate of accreditation upang ito ay pormal na mabuksan. Inuulit ko po, ang mga kababayan nating makikinabang dito ay hindi mga kriminal. Bagkus, sila ay mga biktima kaya sana ay hanapin natin sa ating mga puso ang compassion ng sa ganoon ay samasama nating naisin na maisalba ang buhay ng mga biktimang ito sa pamamagitan ng bahay ni kuya.

Tayo po ay patuloy ding naghahanda para sa sakaling pagdating ng mga kalamidad.

Bumili po tayo ng 4 na diesel van na siyang handang magdala ng anumang tulong na kakailanganin sa mga barangay. Binigyan po natin ng 2-way portable radios ang lahat ng barangay para mas madali silang makipag-ugnayan sa mga ahensyang tulad ng PNP o Fire Department sa mga pagkakataong may emergency.

Ang atin pong Traffic Management Division ay patuloy na pinag-aaralan ang pinakamabisang traffic plan para sa ating lungsod. Bagaman tanggap po natin na ang traffic ay kaakibat ng pagunlad, ito po ay patuloy nating ginagawan ng paraan upang kahit paano ay mas maisaayos.

Sa akin pong panunungkulan kailanman hindi ko naging motibasyon ang recognition at ano mang parangal subalit lubos ko pong pinasasalamatan at ikinararangal ang pagbibigay ng National Government sa ating lungsod ng “Seal of Good Housekeeping”, isang award na ibinibigay na ang panukat ay transparency at accountability. Espesyal pong nabanggit na naging napakalaking panukat ang kawalan ng kurapsyon sa ating administrasyon sa pagbibigay sa atin ng “Seal of Good Housekeeping Award”. Hindi lamang po ang ating lungsod ang nakatanggap ng parangal na ito kung saan ang bawat isa ay binigyan ng tig 3 milyong piso subalit ikinararangal ko pong sabihin na tanging ang lungsod ng Lipa lamang ang binigyan ng karagdagang 30 milyong pisong pabuya dahil sa exceptional, maayos at malinis na pamamahala. Ako po ay umaasa na nawa’y maging inspirasyon sa ating lahat ang parangal na ito upang sama sama nating ituloy at lalong isulong ang magandang imahe ng Lungsod ng Lipa. Sa kabuohang 33 milyong piso nating natanggap kaugnay ng seal of good housekeeping award, inilaan nating 3 milyon para sa pagpapagawa ng isang three-storey multi purpose school building sa KLL at ang natitirang 30 milyong piso ay inilalaan natin sa hospital equipment na gagamitin natin sa Ospital ng Lipa.

Asahan po ninyo na lalo kong pagiibayuhin ang malinis na pamamahala, hindi lamang para sa pinansyal na pabuyang ating matatanggap, kung hindi upang patuloy nating maipagmalaki na ang ating lungsod ay may MAS maunlad, MAS maayos at MAS malinis na pamahalaan na magiging daan upang tayo ay higit na makilala at maging magandang halimbawa saan mang panig ng bansa.

Lubos ang aking pasasalamat sa inyong lahat na patuloy ninyong paggtitiwala at pagsuporta sa ating mga gawain dito sa lungsod. Kayo po ang aking inspirasyon. Napakadami po ng pumipila araw-araw sa aking tanggapan. Bilang tao, napapagod ang aking katawan, subalit ang makausap ko po kayo ng personal upang malaman ang inyong mga pangangailangan at madinig ang inyong mga karaingan ang nagbibigay sa akin ng dahilan upang patuloy na magsikap na gumawa ng paraan upang lahat kayo ay matulungan. Bilang ama ng lungsod, dama ko ang inyong mga pangangailangan at bilang ama, nais kong lahat ito ay matugunan sa paraang ating makakayanan. Ang aking panunungkulan ay pansamantala lamang. Hindi habang panahon na si MEYNARD SABILI ang inyong alkalde kaya inuulit ko ang aking pangakong patuloy na pagiibayuhin ang pakikipaglaban para sa inyong kapakanan sa lahat ng panahong ako ay inyong pinagkakatiwalaan. Mahirap, maraming hadlang at may mga ilang magtatangkang hatakin ako paibaba, subalit sinisigurado ko sa inyo na kahit gaano katinik ang landas hindi yun magiging hadlang sa aking hangarin na mapaglingkuran kayo at maibigay sa inyo lahat ng nararapat sa inyo nang walang personal na interes para sa aking sarili.

Nais ko pong samantalahin ang pagkakataong ito upang manawagan sa mga taong maaaring hanggang sa ngayon ay hindi pa naniniwala sa akin at sa aking hangarin. Patuloy ko pong iniaabot ang aking kamay para sa reconciliation at pagkakaisa. Ako po ay naniniwala na ang pagkakaisa at cooperation ang pinakamabisang daan tungo sa tunay na pagsulong at pagunlad ng Lungsod ng Lipa kaya muli po ang aking pakiusap na sana ay samasama na tayong magkapit bisig at magkaisa para sa minamahal nating lungsod.

Nais ko pong pasalamatan and M.A.Sabili Foundation sa pagtulong sa atin sa pagbibigay ng ayuda sa ilang mga bagay na hindi agarang matugunan ng lungsod. Sila po ang ating naatasan umikot din sa iba’t ibang barangay upang dumalaw sa mga may sakit, magbigay ng tulong tulad ng wheel chairs, gamot, at iba pang kanilang makakayanan. Nagsasagawa din sila ng training at gumagawa ng paraan upang makapagumpisa ng livelihood ang mga kababaihan. Inatasan ko rin silang tumulong sa supplemental feeding sa mga public elementary schools kung saan nagpapakain sila at namimigay ng regular na supply ng multivitamins sa mga bata. Meron din silang programa para sa mga inmates at physical fitness program sa mga barangay para ipamulat ang kahalagahan ng kalusugan. Patuloy kong inaatas sa kanila ang maayos na pagtanggap at mabilis na aksyon sa mga idinulog ng ating mga kababayan sa kanilang tanggapan. Higit sa lahat salamat sa foundation sa pagtulong sa akin sa pagpapadama sa ating mga kababayan na ang ating pamunuan ay kaibigang maaasahan at masasandalan, hindi mangaabuso sa ating kapangyarihan.

Marami rin pong salamat sa lahat ng naririto lalo na ang mga masisipag na kasamahan ko sa paglilingkod sa pamahalaang lokal ng Lipa, sa lahat ng mga kapitan at konsehales ng ating mga barangay na katulong ko rin sa paglilingkod sa ating mga kababayan, sa mga barangay functionaries, ang mga taga-private sector, NGOs, national agencies na naririto sa ating lungsod at sa aking pamilya, mula sa aking asawa, mga anak at apo. Salamat po sa isa na namang taon ng pagsama sa akin.

Mga minamahal kong kababayan, lubha pong matindi ang aking pagnanasa na ipagpatuloy pa ang mga gawaing pangkaunlaran ng ating bayan kaya ako po ay umaasa na patuloy po tayong magsasama-sama sa mga darating pang panahon upang kapitbisig nating maisulong ang pagunlad ng minamahal nating lungsod. Maraming salamat po.

oo nga.maunlad naman talaga ang south so we need more infrastructures

I agree, there are so many imbalances when it comes to infrastructure development which favors project in the North.

Speaking of Election, on behalf of Forum moderator and all members of Batangas Skycrapercity Thread, we encourage Batangueño youth, particularly those who will be turning 18 years old on or before October 31, 2012, to go to their nearest Commission on Elections (Comelec) office to register.

Church and LGUs are set to join forces this September 8 (Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary) to host the first-ever Marian Regatta in Taal...

First Marian Regatta to Open 9th National Pilgrimage to Lipa

(San Nicolas, Batangas) – The first-ever Marian Regatta to be held at scenic Taal Lake around its volcano will be held on September 8, birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This event, sponsored jointly by the Archdiocese of Lipa, the Provincial and local governments of Batangas, and private sectors, will serve also as the kick-off ceremonies for the forthcoming 9th Marian National Pilgrimage to Lipa on September 12.

Rev. Fr. Eleuterio Ramos, the over-all chairman, said that the theme “Taal Lake Batangas 2012, Marian Regatta: A Fluvial Procession for Peace, Family and LIfe” jives very well with the local church’s advocacy on environment centering on Taal Lake, and the need for more awareness of the faithful about the importance to defend the family and life. He said that the 13 municipal mayors surrounding the lake have agreed to promote this as they themselves would be beneficiaries from local and foreign tourists that would flock to witness this historic and first-ever regatta.

Mr. Pepe Alacantara, lay co-chairman for this event, disclosed that more than 50 boats with the images of the Blessed Virgin and their patron saints will participate in a synchronized fluvial procession to be assisted by the Coast Guard, the Maritime and the Provincial PNP.

“We will not be doing anything that will destroy the environment. The local governments have committed to do the clean-up of whatever things that would be left at the lake after the event,” he assured those who aired their concern over the materials to be used, and even the proposed fireworks display that would be one of the highlights of the event.

For his part, Archbishop Ramon C. Arguelles said that it is only right to bring to the attention of the Batanguenos to the plight of Taal Lake, which he said, quoting his predecessor, Gaudencio Cardinal B. Rosales, ”Taal Lake is the heart and identity of Batangas”.

“We should learn how to take care of the lake and its resources,” he said reiterating his plea for the fish cages to be dismantled and for the re-cultivation of the indigenous species that could only be found in Taal Lake. ”We will storm heaven with prayers during the fluvial procession, which will have the two Lipa Marian images prominently participating — the Lady of Caysasay and Mary Mediatrix of all Grace.”

It was learnt that the Archbishop will bring the Blessed Sacrament around the lake. Among the passengers in his boat will be Governor Vilma Santos Recto, who threw her full support to this project. The Governor said that this is an opportune time to promote tourism around the lake, which has a lot of resorts and other recreation centres, notably in San Nicolas, Talisay, Balete and Laurel, among others.

The Pride of Nasugbu, our Kababayan "L.A. Tenorio" leads Smart Gilas to gold medal in Jones Cup


Tenorio goes supernova as SMART-Gilas defeats USA to win Jones Cup.

Against an American team with superior size advantage, it was the smallest man on the Philippine side who stood tallest.

LA Tenorio delivered the biggest buckets in the SMART-Gilas Pilipinas national team’s 76-75 victory over USA to bring home the William Jones Cup to the Philippines for the first time since 1998.

The Alaska point guard scored 20 points, including the go-ahead basket with 17 seconds to go to lift SMART-Gilas to the win.

Before that, the 5-foot-8 Tenorio masterminded a Philippine comeback from a 13-point second half deficit. The US squad was still up, 59-46, with a minute left in the third quarter before SMART-Gilas unleashed a 15-0 run capped by a Tenorio runner to give the Philippines its first lead since the first quarter.

It was a nip and tuck affair the rest of the way, with USA grabbing the upper hand on a fastbreak layup by Jermaine Dearman, 75-74, with 36 seconds left.

SMART-Gilas coach Chot Reyes drew up a play that saw LA Tenorio breaking down his defender, dribbling left, and coolly sinking an 18-foot jumper for the win.

The Philippines won the tournament for the fourth time in its 34-year history, the last 14 years ago when the Philippine Centennial Team swept the field to bag the title.

2 more confirmed 7-eleven branches are to be opened in Malvar which is its second store in Malvar (across Batangas State University) and in San Jose across the town plaza. I've seen the on-going constructions of both branches and I think by now Malvar's 2nd branch is already open..

Hoping for more!

Aba ngay0n ka lang ngparamdam rev0luti0n. Nga pala balita m0 ung itatay0ng mall sa lemery?

Aba ngay0n ka lang ngparamdam rev0luti0n. Nga pala balita m0 ung itatay0ng mall sa lemery?

Nabasa ko nga sa mga posts.. Wala kasi ako masyado updates about our province, aside from the on-going construction in front of SM City Lipa beside La Corona de Lipa.. SIGURO yun na yung SOGO Lipa?.. The Breeze Commercial Complex in Tambo is nearing its completion, ano kaya mga stores that its gonna offer.. Caritas Health has its Lipa building under construction along Ayala highway - malaki rin ung building that I think is a 2 or 3 storey building. Philippines Business Bank ang isang sure tenant ng soon to be finished commercial complex near Balintawak crossing - maganda yung complex with wide parking area.

Oo nga kita ko nga mga gngwa sa lipa nung ngpunta ako. Andaming mga bag0ng buildings. Anu yung malapit sa star toll? Siguro un nga ang sogo malapit sa sm. . Sa batangas city,tanauan and other t0wn may balita ka?

Yung sa STAR Toll yung Breeze, ang ganda ng building..Wala akong balita sa Batangas City, its been months na ata since my last visit dun..Sa Tanauan maraming commercial buildings din under construction, ginigiba yung mga old structures along the highway to give way for bigger commercial centers sa hosts ng Alah Eh Festical this year... Sa Malvar naman, aside from two 7 eleven stores, there is this 5-storey building near Tanauan boundary that houses Monterrey meat shop, antagal ng construction ng building na yun pero hindi pa rin tapos till now... Yan pa lang.:)

Ah nice naman. .sa batangas city b0oming ang diversi0n road kung mapupunta ka makikita m0,ung mga u/c na building tap0z may iba pang tarpaulins na s0on to rise,di ko lang mabasa ng ayos kasi nakasakay ako. BTW,anu yung breeze?mini mall ba?ganda nga ng bldg.nakita ko un eh. At extended ang road widening hanggang San jose. Tanauan pala maghohost ng ala eh festival. .auz ah

Parang hindi sya mini mall, commercial building lang with five to six stalls i think.. Meron din palang commercial building malapit sa kanto ng San Vicente - Banay-banay, may maliliit ding business establishments ang nagbukas that means there is this big potential in this area for business center.
On-going pa din ang road widening sa Lipa City. Sa San Jose naman meron ding road widening but slower ang progress compared to Lipa. Hindi lang sure if it will cover the entire national highway of San Jose like Lipa or will it just be the San Jose bypass section.

Simula dun sa bayan ng san jose pero parang extended kasi ung ibang porti0n inaayos. I hope so. btw ganda ng rotonda sa balagtas exit sa batangas ang laki ng bagong gawa na billboard and may u/c na 2 f0otbridge sa may Bsu alangilan at Ub

Dapat kasabay ng foot bridge e road widening into 4 lanes para smoother ang traffic:).
Add ko lang. AMA Lipa Campus has transferred to its new yet smaller building near Hotel ni Mang Jose along Ayala highway. For Sale/Lease na yung dating building ng AMA..

sana nga si binay maging next president.puro kasi taga north nananalo.malaking bagay kung taga south naman ang magiging chief executive ng pinas

me lahing ibanag si binay kaya taga norte din po siya sir.ang nanay nya po ay taga cabagan, isabela po ata.

Remember Our Fallen Batangueño Heroes Every Day

Philippines yesterday marked National Heroes’ Day as the Province of Batangas, known as the “Cradle of Noble Heroes”, joined the whole nation in commemorating the life and works of our Heroes who sacrificed themselves to liberate the country from colonial bondage.

Furthermore, I would encourage Batangueños to remember as well, not only once but always, the ultimate sacrifice of the men and women of Batangas during the last holdup who have fought and died defending our freedoms..

And likewise, to honor Batangueno revolutionary leaders and martyrs, who contributed much to Philippine libertarian movement during the latter half of the 19th century.

Among these nationalists are Apolinario Mabini, Gen. Miguel Malvar, Felipe Agoncillo, Marcela M. Agoncillo, Gen. Nicolas Lantin Gonzales, Teodoro M. Kalaw and others

National Heroes’ day comes once a year for most people, However, it is important that we not only honor our heroes on this Day but throughout the year.

Villar to lead launching of Laurel commemorative stamp,
Wednesday at 5 pm
August 29, 2012

Sen. Manny Villar, Nacionalista Party president, will lead today, Wednesday, August 29, the ceremony launching the commemorative stamps in honor of the late Speaker Jose B. Laurel Jr.

As chairman of the Speaker Laurel Foundation, Villar said the issuance of the commemorative stamps in time for Laurel's 100th birth anniversary is one way to celebrate his life and to pay tribute to his valuable contribution to the country.

"I have high regard and deep admiration for Speaker Laurel. I and my fellow Nacionalistas measure ourselves against the ideals and standards he had set," Villar said.

He said Laurel's patriotism and nationalism mirrored his father's --the late President Jose P. Laurel's--attributes and are core values of the members of the NP, the oldest political party in the country.

Laurel who was born in Tanauan, Batangas, was one of the stalwarts of the NP and holds the distinction as the only Filipino leader elected three times as Speaker of the House of Representatives.

He was the youngest member of the First Congress of the Commonwealth of the Philippines when first elected in 1941 and authored laws such as the Retail Trade Nationalization Act of 1955 and the 1969 Magna Carta of Social Justice and Economic Freedom. He served as a legislator for 31 years.

During President Corazon Aquino's presidency, he was appointed to the Constitutional Commission that drafted the 1987 Constitution. He is recognized as one of the co-authors of the "Filipino First" policy in the constitution. He died on March 11, 1998 at the age of 85.

In his honor, Villar authored Senate Bill No. 1217 which seeks to name the strip of national highway connecting the towns ofTalisay, Laurel and Agoncillo in Batangas as the "Speaker Jose B. Laurel Jr. Highway."

Ecozone investments up 15% to P106b
By Julito G. Rada | Posted on August 29, 2012

Investments in economic zones grew 14.9 percent in the first seven months year-on-year, on the back of investors’ confidence in the country, the Philippine Economic Zone Authority said Tuesday.

Peza promotions group head Elmer San Pascual said investment approvals in the seven-month period hit P105.7 billion, up from P91.9 billion recorded a year ago.

“Most of the approved projects were [for] expansions, accounting for almost 60 percent to 70 percent of the total projects,” San Pascual said.

He said Japanese investors led in terms of new investments made, followed by the Americans and other nationalities.

San Pascual said one of the biggest Japanese investments in the first seven months was the one made by Canon Group, which recently announced the start of the commercial operation of its P20-billion laser printer manufacturing facility in Batangas next year.continue (http://manilastandardtoday.com/2012/08/29/ecozone-investments-up-15-to-p106b/)

Btw, since we are engrossed over 7-11 right now, lagi ata nyo nakakalimutan ang 7-11 sa San Pascual. One of the biggest and better looking 7-11s I've seen.

Yan nga ang napagusapan namin ung Xentro mall sa lemery. Umaarangkada ang lemery. May balak maging city eh kaya ganun kapursigido. Malaki daw yung area. Malapit pa naman ako,may tambayan na naman. .hehe

Congratz sa Lemery for having Xentro Mall! ang aastig din ng Tenants! :)
