Close this THE MANILA ECONOMIC and Cultural Office, the country’s representative office in Taiwan, expects $121 million in new infusions from Taiwanese investors, particularly in the fields of manufacturing and construction, agribusiness and energy.

Antonio Basilio, Meco resident representative, said the group was following up investment leads worth $97 million for various projects in Northern Mindanao.

He said Taiwanese investors were interested in plunking cash into solar and wind energy projects in the area, as well as in biofuel processing, auto parts manufacturing, leather and steel production, mariculture and food processing.

Meco was likewise keen on getting $24 million worth of Taiwanese investments for aluminum coil, pipe, stainless steel, and light manufacturing in the Subic and Clark freeport zones, he said.

Taiwanese businesses had also expressed interest in setting up manufacturing facilities for antibiotic capsules and electric blankets, as well as in undertaking various construction projects in the area, he added.

The group would not just be targeting large investments, however, he said.

Meco was also keen on attracting Taiwanese investors operating in the micro sector, including food cooperatives.

To jack up interest in the country, he said Meco would be holding the Taipei Investments Summit, to be attended by representatives from the Cagayan de Oro Electric Power and Light Co., Congressional Commission on Science and Technology and Engineering, and Taiwan External Trade Council.

Meco’s trade and investment team also headed the Visayas Trade and Investment Mission to Taiwan from Nov. 2-7, and would lead an investment mission to General Santos and Sarangani next month, he added.

In Taiwan, he said Meco’s extension offices in Taichung and Kaohsiung also launched missions to attract Taiwanese investments.

The Central Taiwan-based Taichung team led the fact-finding trips of Long Dianne Biotechnology to Palawan to explore the possibility of cultivating red grouper, and that of Hwa Neng Biotechnology to look at the feasibility of setting up jatropha castor bean nurse

almost everyday i noticed that the Koreans living in Pueblo (Xavier Estates, Robinsons Hillsborough, Philam etc.) are being fetched by the Nanuri School Bus. some Koreans living in Pueblo are studying in Nanuri. as we all know that Nanuri is located just below the CDOICC, then i think its very redundant to fetch as well as take the Koreans home to Pueblo every day. if a Korean Community will be built near Nanuri Int'l School in Taguanao, then that would really help them a lot

P40-M Provincial Hospital to rise soon in Alubijid (http://cagayandeorodev.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/p40-m-provincial-hospital-to-rise-soon-in-alubijid/)

Misamis Oriental Gov. Oscar Moreno led the ground-breaking and capsule-laying ceremonies for the construction of a P40-million hospital here last week.

Dubbed as a prototype public hospital, the Misamis Oriental Provincial Hospital-Alubijid would rise on a one-hectare property in this municipality and is envisioned to become a secondary-level 25-bed capacity health facility, equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment, vehicular support, cost-saving facilities and to be manned by experienced medical personnel.

In a project overview, provincial health officer Ignacio Moreno said the MOPH-Alubijid would be different from other capitol-run hospitals in that it would have solar panels that could generate electricity as well as a bio-gas processor for its heating requirements.

The hospital structures, he said, were conceptualized as a blend of modern and “Filipi-nized” designs by architect Jonathan Sogoc.

The other seven MOPHs, which have either undergone or are still undergoing rehabilitation, are in located in Balingasag, Claveria, Gingoog, Manticao, Magsaysay, Naa-wan, and Talisayan.

Gov. Moreno, who was joined in by Vice Gov. Norris Babiera, provincial board members Emmanuel Mugot, Oliver Actub, Santiago Sabal, Ed Ayunting and Alubijid Mayor Armando Elarmo during the ceremonies, assured municipal and barangay officials here that the capitol would continue to assist and respond to the basic health needs of their constituencies.

Moreno also reiterated the capitol’s commitment to increase the enrolment of indigent residents to the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) to 170,000 from the present 135,000 province-wide.

He acknowledged the continuing support from the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, under the leadership of Babiera, to his administration’s health programs as well as in other responsive programs and projects to the basic needs of provincial residents. (MOPPO)

Pimentel asks budget office to release his PDAF (http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/228779/pimentel-asks-budget-office-release-his-pdaf)
By HANNAH L. TORREGOZA
November 9, 2009, 6:41pm

Senate Minority Leader Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel, Jr. on Monday asked the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to release his Priority Development and Assistance Fund (PDAF) that he has allotted for the completion of the Cagayan De Oro Convention Center.

Pimentel noted that his PDAF, more popularly known as “pork barrel,” remains unreleased, thus delaying the project’s completion.

The opposition senator lamented that while lawmakers close to the administration receive their annual support to fund infrastructure projects in their districts, the Arroyo government is withholding the PDAF of its critics.

He also said the government has also yet to release the senatorial initiative of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) fund under the General Appropriations Act of 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2008.

“I have repeatedly called the attention of the DBM since 2005 to 2007 for the release of the amounts allotted for the CDO Convention Center from my PDAF and the DPWH fund amounting to P240, 650,000,” Pimentel said in his letter to Budget Secretary Rolando Andaya.

The construction, he said, started on June 30, 2001 with the original target date of completion on Aug. 2003 and with a contract price of more than P349 million. Due to various delays, the project cost has now been estimated by the DPWH at P758, 035,998.12 as of Aug. 2009.

“To date, I have not received a single satisfactory explanation for the withholding of the release of the funds for the completion of the CDO Convention Center,” he said.

Pimentel said he has sought President Arroyo’s intercession in a letter to Malacañang dated May 15, 2009 but to no avail. To date, only 45 percent of the project has been completed.

He said the center is envisioned to be a 7,700-seat trade and convention center, ideal for national, international and trade exhibits to showcase the potential for socio-cultural and economic development in the South, not to mention its impact on tourism by making Northern Mindanao a major international convention destination.

“As a senator from Mindanao, I am asking for the justification of the DBM’s refusal to release the allocation in the GAA 2006-2009, as well as the timetable for the release of the funds needed to complete the project,” he said.

i think ever since pimentel was given a position in the cory aquino administration, he has forgotten where he came from. he has forgotten his hometown. i think all he ever cares right now is keep on winning in the national level and never bothers to think where he all started. when he took the offer given by cory aquino, he must have thought that he doesn't need cdeo but cdeo needed him badly. with emano, jaraula and rodriguez standing side by side, a tripartite like this could come up with a slogan that it is pimentel who needs cdeo badly and not the other way around. i think he will only look back at his hometown when he's no longer famous and a politician. i just hope that that day will come soon.

are you kidding? look at what they have done to dv soria. rufus first implemented the road concreting and then came jaraula demolishing the fresh concrted road to give way his drainage project. is that what you mean of them standing side by side? anyway, i hope that we stop using this thread for any political intentions.

It doesn't entail logic to remind politicians of their delayed projects. I am not here to represent a political party for I am not affiliated with any of them. I am here to express my opinion as a voter who have not failed to vote senator pimentel. I am here to criticize him and all politicians for whether they like it or not, they're subject to public scrutiny. I would like to emphasize that this is not the first delayed project of Senator Pimentel but he too has failed to finish his project of the expansion of JR Borja Hospital. He has been noted for decade long unfinished projects who have turned out to be dilapidated and wasted. If he has problems with funds being in the opposition, then I find it as a lame excuse. Other opposition leaders were able to get funds, start and finish their projects. Why can't he?

Pimentel cries foul on
budget squeeze on opposition (http://www.malaya.com.ph/11172009/news7.html)

SENATE minority leader Aquilino Pimentel yesterday said most opposition senators have not received their share of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) since 2005 when the "Hello Garci" scandal broke out in reprisal for being critical of President Arroyo.

He said even funds for school buildings, hospitals and roads recommended by opposition senators and congressmen, already funded under the multi-year Public Works Act, have been withheld by the Palace and the DBM.

"In stark contrast, the administration seems to have no problem, but in fact is quite generous, in releasing funds for projects sponsored by its legislative allies. It treats taxpayers’ money as if it is owned by the ruling party, to be dispensed exclusively to its allies as a reward for being loyal and for closing their eyes to the venalities and excesses being committed by the wielders of power," he said.

Pimentel cited news reports that about a billion peso worth of projects have been implemented in the second district of Camarines del Sur where presidential son Rep. Dato Arroyo is congressman.

He said he also found out that Leyte Rep. Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, in his official website, reported to his constituents that "barely 19 months in office – though a neophyte in the House of Representatives – has already implemented more than 300 projects worth more than P1.5 billion" from July 1, 2007 to December 2008.

"What the Arroyo administration has overlooked is the fact that its obnoxious malpractice of starving opposition bailiwicks of funds is hurting the common people more than the lawmakers. This has had the effect of boomeranging on the administration, as reflected in the President’s failing marks in public opinion surveys, because the people are outraged over its discriminatory, partisan and vindictive policy that applies to the disbursement of taxpayers’ money.

Pimentel said he is a prime victim of the administration’s prejudicial policy against its critics, citing the DBM’s refusal to release funds for the 11- year old Convention and Civic Center Project in Indahag in Cagayan de Oro City

He said the construction started in 2001 and originally was scheduled for completion in 2003. But due to the delays in the release of funds, it is uncertain whether the project will be finished at all.

Pimentel said funding allocations for the convention and civic center for the period 2005 to 2007 amounting to P240.65 million have not been released despite repeated requests with the DBM and even after he sought Arroyo’s intercession through a letter last May. The money came from the Public Works Fund and Pimentel’s Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF).

"To date, I have not received a single satisfactory explanation for the withholding of the release of the funds for the completion of the CDO Convention Center," he said in a letter to Budget Secretary Rolando Andaya Jr. on Nov. 3.

In his letter, Pimentel asked for an explanation on the DBM’s refusal to release the funds already allocated for the convention center project, including those included in the general appropriations act from 2008 to 2009.

PAG-ASA Regional Station in El Salvador to be fully operational in 2-3 years (http://cagayandeorodev.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/pag-asa-regional-station-in-el-salvador-to-be-fully-operational-in-2-3-years/)

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said over the weekend that its regionalization program was ongoing including their forecastign station at El Salvador, Misamis Oriental and it hoped to complete the project within two to three years.

PAGASA Administrator Dr. Prisco Nilo on Sunday told the Philippines News Agency at the sidelines of the three-day 15th DOST-PAGASA media seminar-workshop held at the San Roque Dam in San Manuel, Pangasinan, that the five regional centers already established by the state weather bureau were now operational, but still needed to enhance its human resources and equipment.

The five existing regional centers are enough to complement their central operations in Quezon City.

Aside from El Salvador in Misamis Oriental for Northern Mindanao, other regional centers are located in: Tuguegarao City and Legazpi City for Luzon; Cebu for Visayas; and Davao for the Southern Mindanao region.

The local forecasters in these centers, who can make modifications in their reports, such as mentioning specific provinces of locations that would be in the pathway of a typhoon.

However, any modification in a regional center’s forecast must be relayed to the central office to avoid confusion by the public.

Photo below shows the El Salvador Station as of September this year.

Laguindingan airport project ‘on schedule’ (http://cagayandeorodev.wordpress.com/2009/11/21/laguindingan-airport-project-on-schedule/)
Posted on November 21, 2009 by damarre

http://cagayandeorodev.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/080110-r10-ladp.jpg

HEAVY rains delayed the scheduled pouring of concrete for the proposed Laguindingan International Airport runway Friday but Misamis Oriental Governor said construction is still ahead by three months.

The pouring of concrete for the runway would be done in two stages: the cement-treated base course measuring six inches and the 18-inches pure concrete base.

Governor Oscar S. Moreno said the target completion of the international airport has been accelerated.

Originally, the airport is expected to be finished by first quarter of 2012 but with the accelerated construction, full completion and operation of the airport including air navigational aids would be in the third quarter of 2011.

He said they target to complete about 200 meters of concrete pouring in the runway by the end of November and 800 meters by the end of December.

“Our target is by the end of December, about 60 percent of the civil works would be completed and by the end of the first quarter of 2010, the runway and taxi way are finished,” Moreno said.

But even with the airport’s present status, Moreno said he would like to see President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo doing a ceremonial landing on the airport before her term ends in June 2010.

“Even if the airport is not yet fully operational, I would like to see the president at least doing ceremonial landing or what, that she would be the first one to use the airport,” he said.

The P7.9 billion Laguindingan International Airport was inaugurated by President Arroyo on January 11, 2006 and is envisioned to replace the old Lumbia Airport in Cagayan de Oro. It is located in Barangay Moog covering 387 hectares.

The airport is a flagship project of the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Corridor Special Development Project, which covers both the cities of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro as well as five coastal towns in Lanao del Norte, the 24 towns of Misamis Oriental and its component city.

Once operational, the airport is seen to boost economic activities not only in Misamis Oriental but also the neighboring areas of Iligan and Lanao del Norte. (Terry D.C. Betonio)

no more Verdana brand? its gonna be Avida?

"Cagayan de Oro is a very progressive city and we want to be a part of its success," he said.

CHI will set aside 70 hectares for high-end residential units, while the rest are being set aside for core-middle segments under Verdana brand. (http://www.alegriahills.com/ViewProjectUpdates.do?date=10/15/2008)

P51-m feasibility study on railways project done (http://www.goldstardailynews.com/content.php?id=7834)
By CRIS DIAZ - Business Editor Updated November 25, 2009 12:00 AM

A FEASIBILITY study for the construction of the ambitious P2-billion Mindanao railways project has been completed, Guiling Mamondiong, transportation undersecretary for rails and special action officer of the Mindanao Railway Project, said Monday.

He said the feasibility study which officially started two years ago cost P51 million after Rep. Rufus Rodriguez of the 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro City, filed a resolution creating the Mindanao Railway Corp. in 2008.

“It was House Speaker Prospero Nograles who ordered the release of the P51 million for the railway’s feasibility studies that would cover some 124-kilometers from Cagayan de Oro City to Iligan City with 22 railway stations along the way,” Mamondiong said.

Mamondiong said the first phase of the project would be from Jasaan in the eastern coast of Misamis Oriental toward the province’s west coast of Laguindingan where a newly constructed airport is expected to be operational in 2012.

According to Mamondiong, the government has already allocated some P100 million for payment and expropriation of “right of way” where the railway is expected to pass through.

He said expropriation proceedings, in cooperation with local government units, where the proposed railway is going to pass, would commence soon, This would be undertaken by the railway management office in Cagayan de Oro City.

Rodriguez said he filed House Bill 1855 creating the Mindanao railways in 2008 prescribing its powers, duties, functions and providing for the necessary funds for its operation.

He said the release of P51 million to finance the just completed Mindanao railway feasibility study was in consonance with the provision of HB 1855.

Railway project awaits RDC approval (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cagayan-de-oro/railway-project-awaits-rdc-approval)

By Annabelle L. Ricalde

THE city has moved closer to having a modern railway system as the feasibility study of the P2 billion Mindanao Railway System project (MRS) is nearing completion, a top official of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) said Monday.

DOTC undersecretary for Rails Guiling Mamondiong made the statement during a briefing with local officials Monday on the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan-Corridor (CIC) railway project.

"The Manny Pacquiao Blog". Click here for stories and updates on the Filipino boxing champ.

“We are looking at the approval of the Regional Development Council (RDC) before it will be submitted to NEDA in Manila,” Mamondiong said.

Present during the briefing were Cagayan de Oro 2nd District Representative Rufus Rodriguez, Mayor Constantino Jaraula and some municipal mayors whose areas will be covered by the railway system.

Both Rodriguez and Jaraula has vowed to find ways for the success of the Mindanao Railway System project which will link the city Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental, site of the nearly completed international standard airport.

Rodriguez said the planned mass transit system will be a more efficient mode of transportation to and from Laguindingan and will solve not only traffic congestion but will also boost tourism and business along its route.

Rodriguez in 2008 had filed House Bill 1855 which created the Mindanao Railways Corporation.

“We already have P10-Million budget for the office of the MRS,” Rodriguez said.

The lawmaker, together with House Speaker Prospero Nograles, is also working for the release of an additional P51-Million to move the project forward.
For his part, Jaraula said the Mindanao Railway System project is expected to spur economic development in the region saying the project will pave way for an efficient, cheap and reliable railway network, which will criss cross the length and breathe of the island.

The railway system is also expected to spur productivity as well as lure in additional investments, Jaraula said.

i love cdo but i do hope the next set of local officials will prioritize waste management, drainage system and traffic management of our city! our local economy might be growing but we should also consider our environment. sad to note that some of our guests really notice how our city is so dirty...:-( i feel for our city and i have great concern for our surroundings. i suggest we need to shake our mayor, city council and our barangay officials. ADVOCATE FOR GREEN AND CLEAN CAGAYAN DE ORO!!!

yah i admit... medyo dirty nga siya,,,, na notice yan nung time na my friends nag visited cdo,, basically they like the city, the food and etc but they noticed na medyo marumi,, nagkalat ang mga basura.... i love cdo, my most loved city... im just concern of our city... sana they will also prioritize waste management, and educate the drivers also...

^^ thanks for the update. Its nice to see the construction of the terminal building in full swing. Although based on the pictures above, it seems that the height of the ceiling in the check-in area is quite low. It would have been better if the design occupied the height of two floors to have this "spacious feeling" when we enter the terminal just like in most of the passenger terminal buildings we see.

If you based on the rendering of the terminal, sad to say we can't expect the elegance that we want :ohno: I hope the outcome will oppose on our expectation :):):)

our leaders right now are not that particular when it comes to discipline and cleanliness. they are more drawn into investments and diplomacy. ilang gapaningkamotan nga moangat og ayo ang cdeo para maila siya sa tibook pinas. we cant expect a single politician to be perfect. moabot ang panahon nga lain na pod ang molingkod sa city hall nga ang iyang focus kay cleanliness and discipline. kung papilion ka, asa kaha ka sa duha nga options?

I choose both. But if you said that the environmental issues in CDO is disregarded? I don't think so. Our air is not so dirt like Cebu, Manila and even Davao. Our temperature is colder than Ilo-ilo, Bacolod, Davao in most of the times by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. Our city hosts Solar power plant the only one commercially solar power plant in the country. We have soon to rise Primavera condo the first certified green building in this part of the country. What else? Did our garbage did not collected in a week scattered in the streets? Maybe, i don't think so how imminent is that. But base on your city street pictures and other photos from different forumer in our city, I have peace of mind that our city still has something clean and green to offer.

Working (or sighing) for clean air in the cities
By Erlie Lopez (The Philippine Star) Updated December 13, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - The air quality in Metro Manila, according to data gathered by the Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities (CAI-Asia), has improved in terms of the Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) level, a 15-percent reduction from 2004 to 2008. The metropolis is less dirty than the more progressive cities of Shanghai and Jakarta as of the 2003 report.

The Department of Health and the Environment Management Bureau also both found a downward trend from 2003 through 2007 in terms of bronchitis morbidity and air pollution.

Can these figures make us breathe easy as we look out from skyscrapers in Ayala or Ortigas and view a panorama of progress smudged and grey? Truth is, the Philippines is still short of the standard for a country’s TSP and exceeds the World Health Organization’s guideline limits.

Air quality in Asian cities remains the region’s black mark in the light of urban population growth, health profile, and climate change. Half-a-million people die prematurely in Asia every year due to air pollution with millions more suffering from respiratory illnesses, according to WHO, that the health cost to Philippine cities alone is half a billion dollars a year. In the country, urban dwelling is also forecast to grow from about 50 percent in 2005 to 80 percent in 2035, leading partly to a five-time vehicle increase within the same period, and a worse impact on cities.

International institutions like the United Nations, Asian Development Bank, and European partners, are encouraging stakeholder organizations to arrest the further decline of air quality and its contributions to climate change. Government, non-government organizations and the whole civil society, are at fever pitch to clean the air, tactically nearing the Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen and the Better Air Quality conference in Beijing July next year.

“We have to look seriously at the interlinked issues of air pollution and climate change, which both share same sources of toxic chemicals, through integrated policies and projects,” says Sophie Punte, executive director of the Manila-based CAI-Asia Center.

During the Clean Air Month (November), its country partner, Partnership for Clean Air (PCA), gathered all stakeholders to learn more, share experiences, discuss challenges in the cleaning of the air, embracing the theme Ligtas Hangin (Save the Air). “We share one common right to breathe clean and healthy air,” rationalizes Vicky Segovia, executive director of PCA.

Two main events in the month-long observance are the Forum on Greening the Tran-sport Sector (led by the Department of Transportation and Communications) and the Clean Air 10, a review of the 10 years of the landmark law and visioning (led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources).

Environmental urban transport

There is no question that transport is the leading and direct contributor to air pollution in the cities. Motor vehicles emit toxic chemicals like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulphur, and benzene.

Specific issues include emissions from two-stroke tricycles, smoke belching from all forms of motor vehicles, heavy dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels.

CAI-Asia programs seek to bring together organizations and experts to address air quality management and sustainable urban transportation, the flag-ships being the Air Quality Management (AQM) and the ADB/Sida-funded Sustainable Urban Mobility in Asia (SUMA) programs both of which cover the range from building know-ledge and capacity to on-the ground measures.

The SUMA program works with Asian countries and cities to strengthen sustainable urban transport policies to reduce traffic congestion, improve mobility and road safety, mitigate transport’s contribution to air pollution, and tackle the issue of climate change. A resulting National Environmental Sustainable Transport (EST) Strategy has been put in place in the country with DOTC as the lead government agency guided by two overall goals. One is the reduction of the annual growth rate of energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions from the urban transport sector. The other is the mainstreaming of EST by promoting transportation systems of low carbon intensity and shift to the use of more sustainable transport modes.

In a recent forum on greening the transport sector, DOTC and its partners such as the UP National Center for Transport Studies recognized four cities for outstanding work in building environmentally sustainable transport (BEST). DOTC Secretary Leandro Mendoza handed the first BEST awards, still on pilot run, to the cities of Marikina; San Fernando, La Union; Cebu; and Cagayan de Oro.

“We hope the BEST award will encourage as many cities in the country to adopt the EST framework,” Mendoza said.

The four cities were cited for overall BEST practices
, with some single practices such as the bikeways project in Marikina; the tricycle conversion from two-stroke to four-stroke engine in San Fernando, La Union; the Bus Rapid Transit as mass transport mode in metro Cebu; the creation of the comprehensive roads and traffic administration in Cagayan de Oro.

Philippine clean air law

In commemorating the tenth year of the law, stakeholders assessed how far they have gone with the landmark legislation.

DENR Secretary Lito Atienza has earlier expressed that by re-assessment, “we can learn from past oversights and create a practical and doable roadmap for us to move forward in realizing our goals of a cleaner and safer environment.”

There are at least 10 things to celebrate in the 10 years of the law, the lead organizations agree: the Bio-fuels Act, the Renewable Energy Act, cleaner gasoline through lowering of the sulfur content of diesel and the benzene and aromatics of gasoline, Marikina bikeways, unleaded fuel, promotion of electric tricycles in Fort Bonifacio and electric jeepneys in Makati, smoke- free ordinances, anti-smoke belching efforts of LGUs, wind power in Ilocos, biomass use by Philippine industries, LPG taxis, the replacement of two-stroke by four-stroke tricycles in San Fernando (La Union) and Mandaluyong, and the Clean Air 10 Declaration.

Moving forward, forum participants came up with specific proposals for the CA law implementation. These include improved vehicular route management, nationwide activation of Air Shed Governing Boards which administer the Air Quality Monitoring Fund, development of environment-friendly technologies, a template ordinance for the creation of Environment and Natural Resources Officers (ENROs), still a non-mandatory position despite a provision for such in the Local Government Code, and media/advocacy support.

The workshop outputs will be used as inputs to the Better Air Quality Plan of the government which is updated bi-annually and to be presented at the air quality conference in Beijing next year.

During the Clean Air Month (November), its country partner, Partnership for Clean Air (PCA), gathered all stakeholders to learn more, share experiences, discuss challenges in the cleaning of the air, embracing the theme Ligtas Hangin (Save the Air). “We share one common right to breathe clean and healthy air,” rationalizes Vicky Segovia, executive director of PCA.

Two main events in the month-long observance are the Forum on Greening the Tran-sport Sector (led by the Department of Transportation and Communications) and the Clean Air 10, a review of the 10 years of the landmark law and visioning (led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources).

Environmental urban transport

There is no question that transport is the leading and direct contributor to air pollution in the cities. Motor vehicles emit toxic chemicals like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulphur, and benzene.

Specific issues include emissions from two-stroke tricycles, smoke belching from all forms of motor vehicles, heavy dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels.

CAI-Asia programs seek to bring together organizations and experts to address air quality management and sustainable urban transportation, the flag-ships being the Air Quality Management (AQM) and the ADB/Sida-funded Sustainable Urban Mobility in Asia (SUMA) programs both of which cover the range from building know-ledge and capacity to on-the ground measures.

The SUMA program works with Asian countries and cities to strengthen sustainable urban transport policies to reduce traffic congestion, improve mobility and road safety, mitigate transport’s contribution to air pollution, and tackle the issue of climate change. A resulting National Environmental Sustainable Transport (EST) Strategy has been put in place in the country with DOTC as the lead government agency guided by two overall goals. One is the reduction of the annual growth rate of energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions from the urban transport sector. The other is the mainstreaming of EST by promoting transportation systems of low carbon intensity and shift to the use of more sustainable transport modes.

In a recent forum on greening the transport sector, DOTC and its partners such as the UP National Center for Transport Studies recognized four cities for outstanding work in building environmentally sustainable transport (BEST). DOTC Secretary Leandro Mendoza handed the first BEST awards, still on pilot run, to the cities of Marikina; San Fernando, La Union; Cebu; and Cagayan de Oro.

“We hope the BEST award will encourage as many cities in the country to adopt the EST framework,” Mendoza said.

The four cities were cited for overall BEST practices
, with some single practices such as the bikeways project in Marikina; the tricycle conversion from two-stroke to four-stroke engine in San Fernando, La Union; the Bus Rapid Transit as mass transport mode in metro Cebu; the creation of the comprehensive roads and traffic administration in Cagayan de Oro.

Philippine clean air law

In commemorating the tenth year of the law, stakeholders assessed how far they have gone with the landmark legislation.

DENR Secretary Lito Atienza has earlier expressed that by re-assessment, “we can learn from past oversights and create a practical and doable roadmap for us to move forward in realizing our goals of a cleaner and safer environment.”

There are at least 10 things to celebrate in the 10 years of the law, the lead organizations agree: the Bio-fuels Act, the Renewable Energy Act, cleaner gasoline through lowering of the sulfur content of diesel and the benzene and aromatics of gasoline, Marikina bikeways, unleaded fuel, promotion of electric tricycles in Fort Bonifacio and electric jeepneys in Makati, smoke- free ordinances, anti-smoke belching efforts of LGUs, wind power in Ilocos, biomass use by Philippine industries, LPG taxis, the replacement of two-stroke by four-stroke tricycles in San Fernando (La Union) and Mandaluyong, and the Clean Air 10 Declaration.

Moving forward, forum participants came up with specific proposals for the CA law implementation. These include improved vehicular route management, nationwide activation of Air Shed Governing Boards which administer the Air Quality Monitoring Fund, development of environment-friendly technologies, a template ordinance for the creation of Environment and Natural Resources Officers (ENROs), still a non-mandatory position despite a provision for such in the Local Government Code, and media/advocacy support.

The workshop outputs will be used as inputs to the Better Air Quality Plan of the government which is updated bi-annually and to be presented at the air quality conference in Beijing next year.

December 15th, 2009, 04:04 PM

^^ nope, there wasnt a direct comparison of the air quality between CdeO and the cities nga gi mention ni boju nga mas maayo ang air quality sa CdeO...

asa man ang data/actual study nga gi compare ang air quality sa matag lugar? or ana ra jud mo mag support ug argument nga bahala na kulang kulang and isumpay sumpay lang aron tsada paminawon?

look im not looking for an argument ang akoa lang..substantiate your claims lang unta..yati ra so you show us a publicatin that says air quality in cdeo is generally good unya you expect us to take that as the "proof" nga mas maayo ang air quality sa Cdeo versus the other cities?

anyway, mao ra ni ang makita nako nga direct comparison nga charts..but even with this lisud gihapon i compare kay if we look at other data managlahi man gani ang charts per area within a city. So wala gihapon so far comprehensive data to show that in general mas limpyo ang hangin sa Cdeo vs the cities Boju mentioned!

http://i46.tinypic.com/ioi0ba.jpg

To support boju's claim here is my info:

Its dated 2003 but I believe it can still serve its purpose.

In 2003, the highest
TSP annual mean concentration was
monitored in Agdao, Davao City at 335
mg/Nm3 with Baguio City, Tuguegarao City
and Zamboanga City registering concentrations
at more than twice the NAAQ
guideline value.

how misleading! i looked at the data and yes expected nga polluted ang air sa agdao pero imo ra man na gi cherry pick and gi disregard that other areas of DC had favorable numbers

i compare ra gud ang ubang numbers sa DC versus the other areas sa ubang cities

(sakpan ang pagka misleading and again makita nato nga ang study wala ga conclude nga mas limpyo ang hangin sa Cdeo versus the cities Boju mentioned..kamo kamo ra nag conclude ana if kining study ang atoang bashehen..ug tama bang i compare ang air quality sa agdao versus xavier university? LMAO)

Xavier University is located in the DIVISORIA AND COGON vicinity. If you have been to Cagayan de Oro, these areas are considered the most polluted parts since there is heavy traffic and stuff. We are referring on bad smoke here and as we all know, smoke may spread out. These smoke are then captured by the monitoring instrument. I should know because I AM A STUDENT FROM XAVIER UNIVERSITY AND I USUALLY SEE THESE INSTRUMENTS.

atong usabon ang post ni boju ha

I choose both. But if you said that the environmental issues in CDO is disregarded? I don't think so. Our air is not so dirt like Cebu, Manila and even Davao. Our temperature is colder than Ilo-ilo, Bacolod, Davao in most of the times by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. Our city hosts Solar power plant the only one commercially solar power plant in the country. We have soon to rise Primavera condo the first certified green building in this part of the country. What else? Did our garbage did not collected in a week scattered in the streets? Maybe, i don't think so how imminent is that. But base on your city street pictures and other photos from different forumer in our city, I have peace of mind that our city still has something clean and green to offer.

1. asa ang data that would show a direct comparison of the citywide quality of air between the cities of CdeO, Davao, Cebu and Manila...and nga ginasulti sa data nga mas limpyo ang hangin sa Cdeo

2. interested sab ko anang ikaduhang punto ni boju..nga ang mas bugnaw ang klima sa Cdeo compared sa Iloilo, Bacolod ug Davao by 2-3 degrees..

tarong nga data please ug dili nang way klaro nga data nga buhatan lang ug basta basta nga conclusion

December 15th, 2009, 04:35 PM

It may not be a DIRECT comparison but we also consider the implied comparison. When you look at the data, you will see that it mentioned OTHER cities and their air quality findings. If you put them side by side then you will see the comparison though the author though did not compare it directly. I presume to avoid CITY VS CITY rifts.

Why search for an article that requires direct comparison when in fact you can do the comparison based on the data presented in the pdf file?

I still don't have the TEMPERATURE comparison though. I hope I could find one to answer your cravings.

Bai, don't judge the person quickly. You don't know the other side of the story. The media before was somehow very judgemental and even pinalaki pa ang storya, as if blaming or accusing quickly the person. Well, that was their immediate emotional reaction just because many innocent victims died at that time. I believe some corrupt and very money-making media, and had even a personal hatred (especially some Bombo Radyo anchors before who never liked Emano), had misquoted Emano.

We have authorities, especially the DILG and NBI that investigated Emano before. What happened? Emano was never imprisoned or punished by the said crime (the crime that he was accused or without even evidence) he had committed by being "silent?" of what he had personally known prior to the bombing.

Relax bai! Somehow this person perhaps has a personal hatred to our politician. It might that he still never moves on from the past, the bloody past where controversies or intrigues arose and blaming it to one person, without even vivid evidence. If Emano committed the said crime, then matagal na siya naimprisoned. Perhaps he is just one-sided just because of his personal hatred to our politician. :ohno:

TSP annual mean concentration was
monitored in Agdao, Davao City at 335
mg/Nm3 with Baguio City, Tuguegarao City

at more than twice the NAAQ

Criteria pollutants are air pollutants for which the National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) Guideline
Values have been established under the Clean Air Act of 1999 as shown in Table 4. EMB
monitors the concentrations of these criteria pollutants, which include total suspended particulates
(TSP); particulate matter 10 microns in diameter or smaller (PM10); sulfur dioxide
(SO2); nitrogen dioxide (NO2); carbon monoxide (CO); lead (Pb); and ozone (O3).

In 2003, PM10 concentrations in Cagayan de Oro City were below the NAAQ guideline value
(Figure 7). The maximum 24-hr average concentration was 75 mg/Nm3 and the annual mean
was 39 mg/Nm3. Average monthly PM10 concentrations were higher during the dry season
(February to May) compared to the rest of the year.

sakamoto

December 16th, 2009, 02:24 PM

The most common measure of air quality is TSP (TOTAL SUSPENDED PARTICULATES) - in common terms = dust (abog), or other term is PARTICULATE MATTER (PM10). The higher the TSP the more polluted (for beginner's sake). And most factors of TSP or PM10 are products of non-point sources....so if TSP is high, then generally the air is polluted.

Other parameters like SOx, NOx, VOCs, CO also contribute but TSP is more easily understood by the common man.

the fact remains nga wala sya nagpakita ug study nga nagaconclude nga in general mas limpyo ang hangin sa Cdeo versus Cebu and Davao..ang inyo lang gibuhat kay magpakita ug cherry picked line nga tsada paminawon

in fact walay data here for CdeO for ambient air monitoring
http://202.57.47.170/airquality/Default.aspx

then here kay 2 ka monitoring stations lang for CdeO so lisud magbuhat ug conclusions
http://www.emb.gov.ph/air/Air%20Quality/AQ%20Graph.jpg_files/frame.htm

;48581431']unsang dili direct comparison? naghatag gani ko ug link to show nga contrary to boju's claims, dili mas bugnaw ang Cdeo by 2-3 degrees against the cities he mentioned..

you can check the year round data by clicking the links and makita nimo ang data per day of the year diha...tan-awa pa then tell me based sa data kung unsaon pag conclude nga most of the time mas bugnaw by 2-3 degrees celsius ang Cdeo coz akong gitan-aw and sa akong nakita more or less the same lang ang temperature sa mga sea level cities sa pilipinas

sample ha..for july this year mao ni ang mga temperature levels sa Cdeo ug Davao

1. walang na present na conclusive data na magsasabing which city has the cleaner air (esp among the cities boju mentioned)

2. comprehensive data (january to present) from msnweather (na based sa foreca..na based sa PAG ASA stations) shows that mali ang sinabi ni boju na mas in general eh mas malamig sa Cdeo by 2-3 degrees celsius versus Davao, Iloilo and Bacolod

The data presented are climatological data = temperatures, rainfall, etc. and these are not related to air quality.

The telemetry system installed at Xavier University is available online. I just forgot the link. The system is representative of the city's air quality because it is at the city proper. There are 2 air quality monitoring stations in CDO, one in RER Junction and the other at Agora Junction. Both stations registered very high in Particulate Matter since monitoring began but still very low as compared to Manila. PM is very high as expected because these are major intersections but they do not represent the city's air quality. These are just indicators. The telemetry system data is ambient air quality.

The data presented are climatological data = temperatures, rainfall, etc. and these are not related to air quality.

because the data I presented (re: temperature) was in response to this

Our temperature is colder than Ilo-ilo, Bacolod, Davao in most of the times by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. .

Now, nabasa man nimo ang data, does it say that CdeO's temperature is 2-3C colder than Ilo-ilo, Davao and Bacolod?

But then the data presented regarding air quality never concluded that in general less ang air pollution versus Cebu and Davao contrary to what boju said na..

I choose both. But if you said that the environmental issues in CDO is disregarded? I don't think so. Our air is not so dirt like Cebu, Manila and even Davao.

sayang lang at konti lang ang monitoring stations sa CdeO but I find it hard na one station can be representative of the overall quality of air ng city..take Davao's measurements as an example

two locations same street

then you have Agdao which is notoriously polluted dahil na rin siguro sa daming tricycle dito...

http://www.emb.gov.ph/air/Air%20Quality/AQ%20Graph.jpg_files/slide0069_image142.gif

polluted right?

pero Agdao din ito na data pero ibang station lang

http://www.emb.gov.ph/air/Air%20Quality/AQ%20Graph.jpg_files/slide0068_image144.gif

my point is, merong data pero they never declared which city is dirty and which city has better air quality than another..even for Davao they just presented data from different stations but it didnt conclude kung ano ang air quality in general for Davao..so how can we conclude that "CdeO's air is not as dirty as Cebu and Davao" when iilan nga lang ang monitoring stations sa CdeO and sa Davao eh sobrang magkakaiba ang data?

I believe everyone has already made their point. Back to CdO-Iligan projects and construction.

Elaborate discussion on air quality, which usually goes hand in hand with progress and development can be coursed through the Environmental Protection Thread (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=788636&page=18). Present state of air quality can also be discussed in their respective City & Province threads.

RDC-X endorses shift in Mindanao Railway System financing from BOT to ODA
By Mike Banos

"The Feasibility Study for the Segment 1 Phase 1 of the MRS Project covering the area from Cagayan de Oro City to Iligan City was completed and submitted to NEDA for evaluation in July 2004," Dacanay said. "The FS was prepared by Thaipicon and Industry Company Limited of Thailand."

DOTC Undersecretary Guiling A. Mamondiong advised NEDA-10 that the FS for the Cagayan de Oro City-Iligan City Railroad Project shall be revised due to consideration in the alignment to avoid substantial tunneling to reduce its project cost.

The project cost is about US$1,328.032 Million or PhP66.402 Billion (at US$1 =PhP50) and shall be sourced from ODA loans from Saudi Arabia and China and the equity to be provided by the Philippine Government.

To resolve further confusion arising from its mode of implementation, the the RDC-10 Infrastructure Committee agreed during its 29 October 2009 meeting to request the approval of the Office of the President through RDC-X to undertake the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Corridor (CIC) Mindanao Railway Project through Official Development Assistance (ODA) instead of Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) scheme..

Jaraula wants ‘Golden Mile’ stretched to Macabalan (http://www.goldstardailynews.com/content.php?id=8467)
By LITO RULONA - Correspondent Updated December 22, 2009 12:00 AM
CITY hall is pushing to expand the coverage of Mayor Constantino Jaraula’s pet ‘‘Golden Mile’’ project to Macabalan.

If plans don’t miscarry, many families living near the Cagayan River would find themselves displaced by the multimillion-peso project that is seen to give urgan Cagayan de Oro a major facelift.

Jaraula, in a letter to the city council, sought a resolution that would stretch the project from the river bank of St. Augustine Cathedral going downstream to Barangay Macabalan.

Councilor Roger Abaday called Jaraula’s proposal ‘‘absurd’’. He claimed many of those who would be displaced are beneficiaries of the so-called ‘‘piso-piso’’ land distribution program of city hall.

Abaday said among the areas that would be adversely affected are Isla Cupa, Isla Delta, Isla Bugnaw and Isla de Oro.

He said families living in Barangays 13, 15 and 17, Consolacion, Puntod, Macabalan, Carmen, Kauswagan and Bonbon are also threatened by the planned project expansion.

But Councilor Ramon Tabor said Jaraula was on the right track, saying the project would provide Cagayan de Oro a boulevard near the river.

Councilor Simeon Licayan said the ‘‘Golden Mile’’ project was long overdue. He said the project would clean the river and its banks.

maybe you have to present this argument to mayor jaraula. he is a lawyer by profession ,ergo he may be able to defend his side. -----actually in my humble opinion your case is so weak that it cannot withstand further interrogation. it's full of fallacies and merely based on biased opinion and paranoid illusion due to acute insecurity. therefore your case is dismissed and you as respondent is seriously advised to commit yourself to medical examination. fortunately for you, the hospital that could cure your illness is located in your vicinity,

Are we sure Mr. Jaraula had said that kind of irresponsible statement?:nuts:

I believe it's the blogger who made that kind of statement. I believe he misinterpreted or hardly heard what Jaraula had said. :bash:

The said rumored Ayala mall (99.1% sure) I believe cannot have that kind of big investment (as if dwarfing their big project) since the lot is just 4 hectares compared to our neighbor's 9 hectare lot property.:lol:

As far as I know from my unreliable source?:lol:, the biggest one is just one of the plans of Ayalas in the future, especially in their lot in __________. ^^

Besides the blogger even said in one of his articles regarding the said rumored Ayala Mall CM Recto that Mr. Stephen Gaisano had tried all he could to stop the upcoming presence of Ayala just right in front of his mall.

My GOD Mr. Blogger!!! :nuts:

Had you a personal talk with Mr. Stephen or let's say his agent? Or was it just merely your own opinion to say that? ^^

Okey! I have my own opinion too. I don't think now that Mr. Stephen has been against the presence of Ayala. Gaisano's main target has been thus people who are middle class and to some extent even below the middle class people in the city, in the province, and Bukidnon. Ayalas' target are thus elite or richer ones who reside in the city and in Northern Mindanao as a whole, and even Lanao del Sur, and to some extent Caraga and Zamboanga peninsula. So Mr. Stephen's market is very quite different from Ayalas'. ^^

Well, why should Mr. Stephen be against to Ayalas' presence? :ohno:

The Alegria Hills Clubhouse is now rising at the site in Indahag, Cagayan de Oro City. Photo was taken sometime in late November 2009. The Clubhouse overlooks the city and will be available for would-be customers…maybe similar to Del Monte Clubhouse where customers aren’t confined to golfers but open to everybody.

A closer photo below shows a perspective installed at the site but it’s just too far from where I was standing (bottom photo).

The 5-storey structure being constructed by Stephen Gaisano still puzzles me. Based on latest photo above, it seems the whole building is like a box with no windows whatsoever. Workers are seen putting on finishing touches on the building’s exterior.

Workers from Gaisano are also puzzled as to what Mr. Gaisano plans with the building. If it is an expansion of the CITY-MALL, there should be an opening at the back. But as shown in the photos below taken from the Gaisano City parking Area and along Julio Pacana Street, the building is truly an enclosed structure.

http://cagayandeorodev.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/100_6668.jpg?w=468&h=353

When asked if it is a hotel or a storage building/bodega, the workers said they have no idea. The ground floor’s ceiling is high enough for dump trucks to pass but the upper floors are also good for retail.

Hmmm…..maybe the good thing to do is to wait for the building to be completed and see if finally a signboard is installed at the site.

P1-B Infra Projects for Cagayan de Oro's 2nd District (http://www.kagay-an.com/articles.php?key=816)

By Mike Banos

Cagayan de Oro would be getting nearly a billion pesos worth of infrastructure projects following Congress ratification of the proposed P1.54-trillion national budget for 2010 on Friday, December 18.

“The congressmen and senators from Mindanao have worked together to bring in almost a billion pesos worth of projects to Cagayan de Oro and Region 10,” Rodriguez told members of the Cagayan de Oro Press Club during a social occasion in a downtown restaurant Dec. 21.

The biggest appropriation was P500 million for the right-of-way (ROW) acquisition for the Mindanao

After its approval and endorsement by the Regional Development Council 10 during its Dec. 11 full council meeting, the project is next slated to be evaluated by the NEDA’s Investment Coordinating Council (ICC) technical committee and thence to the NEDA Board for final approval.

Rodriguez said he has also managed to have the second tranche P360-million allocated for first phase of the P1.4 billion Cagayan de Oro Coastal Super Highway, a 12-kilometer four-lane coastal road running from Puntod to Bugo. Included in this amount would be the addition of another lane in Julio Pacana street.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) already has an initial P120 million to reclaim land for the superhighway along Lapasan to Gusa.

Not the least, Rodriguez said the Mindanao bloc of Congressmen also included P86-million to add another lane to the 3-lane portion of Sayre Highway which rises in Carmen Hill along Bgy. Puerto, Cagayan de Oro going to Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon.

A portion of the Sayre Highway in Bukidnon. (courtesy of Wikipedia)

Sayre Highway is the portion of the Philippine national highway which links Puerto, Cagayan de Oro City to Kabacan, North Cotabato, traversing Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon and North Cotabato.

Originally named Route 3 , it was renamed in honor of Francis B. Sayre, the U.S. Philippine High Commissioner who spearheaded its construction. It extends southward through central Mindanao for a distance of about 100 miles, linking the northern and southern arms of Route 1 (Digos-Butuan Highway). This section of the Philippine national highway was constructed during the American occupation of the Philippines. Railway System (MRS) project to commence next year.

Earlier, Rodriguez said he would work to get some P100-million for the acquisition of the Cagayan de Oro side 30-meter ROW of the MRS next year on top of the P13.2 million restoration of the MRS project office operations budget headed by Undersecretary for Rails Guiling A. Mamondiong, concurrently MRS Special Action Officer. along Bgys. Puntod and Macabalan

BUSINESS NOTES: Alegria props Ayala’s VisMin Revenues
Posted on January 11, 2010 by damarre
Cagayandeorodev.wordpress.com

The increased development of Alegria Hills located at Indahag, Cagayan de Oro City has helped improve Ayala’s Vis-Min revenues by 53% as of end of September 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.

Below is the statement from Ayala’s SEC Third Quarter Report for 2009.

“Ayala Lands Visayas-Mindanao revenues improved by 53% to P147 million in the first nine months of 2009 from P96 million during the same period last year. Most of the revenue growth came from increasing percentage completion at Alegria and from higher bookings in new phases of Plantazionne Verdana Homes (PVH). NOI contribution was P18 million, less than 1% total.“

I wonder what would be Ayala’s SEC Fourth Quarter Report. :)

PROJECT WATCH: Alegria Hills Clubhouse construction in full swing (http://cagayandeorodev.wordpress.com/2010/01/28/project-watch-alegria-hills-clubhouse-construction-in-full-swing/)
Posted on January 28, 2010 by damarre

http://cagayandeorodev.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/img_1440b.jpg

Construction of the Alegria Hills Clubhouse is in full swing as shown in the following photos. Lots of construction workers are seen making all kinds of civil works on the seemingly very large building within Ayala’s first housing venture in Mindanao.

I estimate the ground works and the building stretch to at least 100 meters. The building alone is almost 70 meters long.

http://cagayandeorodev.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/img_1439b-copy.jpg

http://cagayandeorodev.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/img_1439b-copy2.jpg

http://cagayandeorodev.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/img_1439b-copy2-copy.jpg

You can clearly see the concrete columns and structural frames of the 2-storey clubhouse which is reported to have the largest restaurant overlooking the city.

The backhoe at the right reminds me of something….

http://cagayandeorodev.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/img_1440b-copy.jpg

http://cagayandeorodev.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/img_1440b-copy2.jpg

It’s good to see contractors really imposing the use of safety gears like helmets and of course, uniforms.

http://cagayandeorodev.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/img_1441b.jpg

Construction of the high-end subdivision is still ongoing as much of the civil works are still concentrated on the lower portion of the property. The view at the top of the plateau should be spectacular.

TKC Steel to establish largest integrated steel manufacturing facility in RP (http://cagayandeorodev.wordpress.com/2010/02/16/tkc-steel-to-establish-largest-integrated-steel-manufacturing-facility-in-rp/)
Posted on February 16, 2010 by damarre

TKC Steel Corp., is planning to raise as much as $1 billion to establish the largest integrated steel manufacturing facility in the country in the 20-hectare complex formerly owned by National Steel Corporation in Iligan City.

From news reports, TKC Steel has appointed Pricewaterhouse Coopers Financial Advisors Inc. as financial adviser to help raise the funds.

Pricewaterhouse will identify prospective strategic partners and investors and prepare a work program, including the acquisition of mining interests related to iron ore.

TKC Steel will use the raw material feedstock for the blast furnace project of subsidiary Treasure Steelworks Corp., which is nearing completion in Iligan City.

The blast furnace would be operational within the next few weeks. The facility is expected to double the company’s billet annual production to 600,000 metric tons from the current level of 300,000 MT.

This is very good news for the Cagayan-Iligan Industrial Corridor…

Ayala Land to put up P2.5-billion complex in Cagayan de Oro
By Zinnia B. Dela Peña (The Philippine Star) Updated February 20, 2010 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Property giant Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) is further expanding in Mindanao with the construction of an integrated mixed-use complex in Cagayan de Oro, estimated to cost at least P2.5 billion.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, ALI senior vice president and chief finance officer Jaime E. Ysmael said the proposed project, which will rise on a 3.2-hectare property along Claro M. Recto Ave. at the heart of Cagayan De Oro City, is in partnership with Anfilo Management & Investment Corp. and Mindanao Motors Corp.

Ysmael said around P2.5 billion will be initially spent for the development of the centerpiece shopping mall with approximately 40,000 square meters of gross leasable area. The mall will offer basic conveniences addressing the everyday needs of the city, as well as unique, dining, entertainment and retail concepts that will serve immediate communities, tourists and transients, he said.

Construction on the shopping mall is expected to begin towards the end of 2010 and will be completed by 2012.

Ysmael said another component of the project is the construction of a boutique hotel and an office building catering to the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector.

“With Ayala’s unmatched experience in developing world-class real estate developments and the Anflogroup’s strong corporate presence in the area, the project is designed to be an integrated mixed-use development that will change Cagayan de Oro’s urban landscape,” Ysmael said.

Cagayan de Oro is a trade and commercial center serving as a transport hub for Northern Mindanao, and is considered a high-growth area.

Ysmael said this project is the second partnership between ALI and Anflogroup in Mindanao. In 2007, the two groups teamed up for the development of Abreeza Mall in Davao City, which is slated for opening next year.

“Both ventures are consistent with the company’s goal of expanding, developing and redeveloping strategic areas within attractive growth centers across the country in order to deliver additional value for its customers and shareholders, while being a strong partner in nation-building,” Ysmael said.

ALI is going full blast with the construction of new projects this year in line with efforts to further expand its geographic base and launch new business lines and market segments.

The company will also aggressively expand its shopping centers to bring total gross leasable area to more than one million square meters by the end of 2011. The expansion will involve MarQuee Mall in Angeles City with a total of 37,000 square meters of GLA and the Davao Mall, which will contribute an additional estimated 94,000 square meters GLA next year.

With control of 52 hectares of land in the Makati central business district and another 33 hectares in Bonifacio Global City, ALI has delivered an average total shareholder return on equity of 42 percent per annum over the past five years.

ALI’s parent firm, Ayala Corp., is one of the country’s largest conglomerates with diversified operations in real estate and hotels, telecommunications, financial services, water distribution, electronics manufacturing, information technology and automotive dealerships.

More developments underway at Dahilayan Adventure Park (http://cagayandeorodev.wordpress.com/2010/02/19/more-developments-underway-at-dahilayan-adventure-park/)

Business must be good that businessman Elpie Paras is implementing more development inside Dahilayan Adventure Park starting with the restaurant shown above overlooking the valley.

The park has been drawing in more clients everyday that the management has now opened the facilities from Wednesday to Sundays. It was initially opened only for weekends (Fridays to Sundays).

The restaurant offers a magnificent view of the valley. Across the valley is Moutain Pines Farm of A Brown Co.

Perhaps, another landing pad?

http://cagayandeorodev.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/img_1788.jpg?w=468&h=351

Below the restaurant are rooms for overnight stay. I guess they don’t need air-conditioning units. By 2:00 pm, fog begins to envelope the area.

Below is believed to be a gazebo. It’s near the entrance.

The restaurant is just below the landing pad for the 840-meter zip-line.

This path is just beside the parking area passing through the pine trees.

Right at the bottom of the valley is another of the park’s attraction – wall climbing and some sort of “Wipeout” stuff…training for soldiers or a ropes course.

Another big development in the horizon still within the park.

http://cagayandeorodev.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/img_1808.jpg?w=468&h=351

Closer look….major earthmoving…I wonder what Paras has in mind for this.

On-going riprap for slope protection.

Below is just beside the park office…a hotdog or fastfood outlet maybe?

Environmental pavers again…lots of people are using these. The maker is making lots of money.

Ayala Land expands to Cagayan de Oro (http://www.manilatimes.net/index.php/business-columns/11852-ayala-land-expands-to-cagayan-de-oro)

Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) is set to develop a shopping mall in Cagayan de Oro in the fourth quarter as part of the property firm’s expansion program this year.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), Jaime Ysmael, ALI chief finance officer, said the company signed a joint venture agreement with Anflo Management and Investment Corp. and Mindanao Motors Corp. for the development of a shopping mall in a 3.2-hectare property along Claro Recto Avenue.

ALI said the initial investment would reach P2.5 billion for the construction of the shopping mall, which would have 40,000 of gross leasable area.

The company aims to construct the shopping mall towards the end of the year and will be completed by 2012.

“The project is envisioned to be an integrated mix-use development that will change Cagayan de Oro’s urban landscape,” Ysmael said. The mall will offer dining, entertainment, and retail concepts that will serve the communities, tourists, and transients.

The shopping center will precede the construction of a business process outsourcing (BPO) oriented office building and boutique hotel.

This is ALI’s second partnership with the Anflogroup in Mindanao. In 2007, the two developed Abreeza Mall in Davao City, which is scheduled to open next year.

Last year, ALI had said revenues from malls rose 4 percent to P4.44 billion with the expansion of its gross leasable area despite the 5-percent drop in the average lease.

The expansion of BPO office space and higher rentals helped the company’s corporate business revenues nearly double to P1.99 billion. Other business segments like strategic landbank management and Visayas-Mindanao registered double-digit revenue growth, but support businesses—construction, property management and hotel—dropped by 38 percent to P4.96 billion because of lower contribution from external construction projects.

Its net income dropped by 16 percent to P4.04 billion last year from P4.81 billion the previous year.

This decline can be traced to the 10-percent drop to P30.46 billion in consolidated revenues. ALI said the 8-percent drop in sales from real estate and hotel operations and the absence of capital gains from large transactions caused the contraction.

Ayala Land, Anflo group sign joint venture pact for Cagayan de Oro complex
(The Philippine Star) Updated February 21, 2010 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Ayala Land Inc. signed a joint venture agreement with Anflo Management & Investment Corp. and Mindanao Motors Corp. (“the Anflogroup”) last Feb. 18, 2010 for the development of a 3.2-hectare property along CM Recto at the heart of Cagayan de Oro’s economic hub. Identified as a high growth area, Cagayan de Oro is a trade and commercial center serving as a transport hub for Northern Mindanao.

In 1997, the Ayalas and the Floirendos also sealed a partnership to develop The Regency at Salcedo, a residential condominium in Makati City, and later in 2007 a mixed-use development in Davao City called Abreeza.

With this proven partnership and Ayala Land’s unmatched experience in world-class real estate developments, the project is envisioned to be an integrated mixed-used development that will dramatically change Cagayan de Oro’s urban landscape. This is in line with Ayala Land’s strategy of establishing well-planned mixed-use communities in growth centers in various parts of the country.

The centerpiece of the development will be a shopping mall that will offer basic conveniences addressing the everyday needs of the city, as well as unique, dining, entertainment, and retail concepts that will serve not only the immediate communities but also tourists and transients.

With a total initial investment of approximately P2.5 billion, the project is expected to spur growth and create about 10,000 new jobs.
