Boom in domestic travel seen (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=0&nid=6&rid=258304)

MANILA, Feb. 11 (PNA) -- The travel industry sees a boom in domestic travel as more companies implement travel incentives to their employees and more Filipinos prefer to visit the rest of the country.

Jose Clemente III, chairman of the Philippine Travel Agencies Association’s (PTAA) Travel Tour Expo to be held on February 19 to 21, told a press conference for the launch of the Travel Tour Expo that as early as last quarter of 2009 bookings have gradually increased and lots of markets are starting to notice the Philippines as a travel destination such as India, Middle East, Russia and Australia..

“Overall, across the board the interest in the Philippines is very high,” Clemente said.Domestic travel last year was estimated to hit 5 million and could easily grow faster than inbound and outbound travel.

According to PTAA president Ma. Paz R. Alberto the growth in domestic travel is fueled by the desire of Filipinos to visit the rest of the country.

”“These are not just companies granting travel incentives to their employees but individuals out to explore other parts of the country,” Alberto said.Most of the domestic travelers are on leisure trips even if they are company sponsored.

“Growth in domestic travel is also fueled by the lots of hotels and resorts adjusting their rates to accommodate the budgets of domestic travelers,” Alberto said.

Clemente also said that a buyers’ market is expected to prevail for the most part of 2010 and rates are expected to remain at the 2009 level.

There are also new travel destinations such as Bicol, Marinduque, Camarines Sur and Batanes.

Clemente even noted that Mindanao’s bad press whether “deservingly or undeservingly” has shown how good a destination it has become for some areas like Davao, Cagayan de Oro and Zamboanga del Norte.

There are also some tourist attractions in Luzon that have remained underdeveloped like the La Union and Pangasinan.In terms of accommodation facilities, industry players said there is enough as more resorts and hotels are coming up especially in more popular sites like Bohol but there is a need to add more as more sites are getting attention.

The PTAA has reiterated calls to have more direct flights to Europe and India to further promote inbound travel. At present, the only airline that connects Manila to Europe is Dutch-owned KLM otherwise passengers have to pass through Middle East using Middle East carriers. Lufthansa and British Airways used to fly direct to Europe from Manila.

India, a new market for the Philippines, has no direct flight to Manila and travelers have to connect through Singapore or Bangkok.

“We always want our flag carrier to go back to Europe,” Clemente said.
He, however, said that when they approached PAL to go back to Europe, they were only told that they will be going there in the future.(PNA)

DOE holds awarding of geothermal deals (http://business.inquirer.net/money/topstories/view/20100211-252656/DOE-holds-awarding-of-geothermal-deals)

By Amy R. Remo
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 22:05:00 02/11/2010

MANILA, Philippines--The Department of Energy will not be able to award additional service contracts for geothermal projects today as it wants more time to study the proposals.

According to Assistant Secretary Mario Marasigan, the DOE is still evaluating the service contracts earlier offered to investors under the Philippine Energy Contracting Round.

The latest contracts should have been awarded Friday.

So far, the DOE has only awarded five geothermal service contracts, and these went to Biliran Geothermal Inc., Primary Energy Corp., Constellation Energy Corp. and Petroenergy Resources Corp.

The DOE is still evaluating proposals of Clean Rock Renewable Energy Corp., Pan Pacific Power Corp., Lopez-led Energy Development Corp., Envent Holding Philippines Inc., Primary Energy, Magma Energy Corp., PNOC-Renewables Corp. and Aragorn Power and Energy Corp.

Pending proposals cover six prospective geothermal areas in Daklan, Benguet; Natib, Bataan; Labo, Camarines Norte; Isarog, Camarines Sur; Sta. Lourdes-Tagburos, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan; and Mainit, Surigao del Norte.

Also under evaluation are service contracts of two companies for the exploration and development of seven prospective “frontier” geothermal areas.

EDC’s unsolicited proposals covered five areas namely Mandalagan-Silay, NEgros Occidental; Balingasag, Misamis Oriental; Mt. Ampiro, Misamis Occidental; Lakewood, Zamboanga del Sur; and Mt. Zion, North Cotabato. Four of these five areas are expected to generate some 110 megawatts, data from the DOE showed.

Meanwhile, PNOC-RC has two applications for an 80-MW project in Mainit-Sadanga in the Mt. Province and another 60-MW geothermal power project in Benguet and Ifugao.

The Philippines, with a capacity of 1,987 MW, is the world’s second-biggest producer of geothermal energy after the United States.

The country’s geothermal capacity accounts for about 17 percent of the generation mix, which means that one in every six light bulbs is powered by geothermal energy.

Sharing our love of dirt: trail building in the Philippines (http://www.americantrails.org/resources/opinion/Philippines-trails-Tony-Boone..html)

By Tony Boone, President of Arrowhead Trails, Inc. (http://www.arrowheadtrails.com/) and Anasazi Trails, Inc. (http://www.anasazitrailsinc.com/)

I feel fairly safe in saying that those of us involved in the trail industry are happier with our lives than many Americans. Whether we are professional trail builders, trail advocates, volunteers, trail users, or a combination of all of these, our quality of life is more frequently enlivened by the presence of great outdoor recreation than our pursuit of the all mighty dollar.

http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/6073/philippinesboone1.jpg (http://img130.imageshack.us/i/philippinesboone1.jpg/)
Low carbon footprint: young Trail riders in the Philippines

Ponder this: trails are most often a free activity with few or no places to spend money. The act of using a trail has a minimal carbon footprint, especially if it is out your backyard and you are self-propelled. Of course, the materials for your mountain bike, running shoes, or rain jacket use natural resources and require fuel. Only hiking or running naked out your backyard trail has no carbon footprint, but it’s frowned upon in most areas.

So, if one of your passions is using trails, you are in essence helping pause the ticking clock of climate change, minimizing your economic consumption, and replenishing your entire body and soul. No pill from the doctor can accomplish this!

As a “professional dirt bag” I feel the desire to assist other countries less fortunate than ours to develop sustainable trail projects for low-impact economic development. My peers in the Professional Trailbuilders Association (PTBA) have built projects in all 50 states and more than 20 countries on five continents. Most of these projects had limited funds, but high importance to the local communities.

As winter descends on my beautiful state of Colorado and the white snow blankets the frozen earth, my battered but happy body is ready to rest. This usually lasts about a month and then I start dreaming about the smell of freshly turned earth and becoming grounded again in it.

http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/2353/philippinesboone2.jpg (http://img130.imageshack.us/i/philippinesboone2.jpg/)
checking a potential trail route

This annual transformation, and our common feelings of being blessed by our universe has led many PTBA members to volunteer for an increasing number of projects in third-world countries. These countries are considered poor by our standards.

In the Philippines, my favorite winter trail work location, half the population lives on less than a dollar a day. Ironically, the Filipino children, who own very few clothes and toys, much less electronic devices, seem happier and less bored than our children with their iPods, cell phones, and laptops.

When Richard Louv wrote Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, I began to understand why my life was radically different than many of my friends and family... and I’m really not crazy! I realized how fortunate I have been to grow up “connected to the woods” since I was an infant. Louv states, “Unlike television, nature does not steal time; it amplifies it.” As D.H. Lawrence put it, “Nature is about smelling, hearing, tasting... seeing below the transparent mucous-paper in which the world is like a bon-bon wrapped so carefully that we can never get at it.”

In the fall of 2006, I began volunteering for the innovative, smart, and driven Governor Lray Villafuerte in the Province of Camarines Sur in the Republic of the Philippines. His vision of providing high quality, adventure recreation has taken his province from the 39th place to the ninth richest province in the country in less than five years.

His largest success so far has been the Cam Sur Watersports Complex (CWC) in the Capitol of Pili. His state-of-the-art wakeboarding facility recently hosted the 2009 Wake Park World Championships, bringing in thousands of spectators and competitors from around the globe. The Park provides jobs and income for hundreds of employees and indirectly fuels the entire economy in the region. In the first six months of this year almost a million visitors flew into this lush and beautiful region, surpassing the most popular beach locations like Boracay and Palawan.

These visitors not only came to the wake park and its companion Bike Park, but also to visit the remote coastline of the Caramoan Peninsula, which has hosted Survivor television programs from France, Bulgaria, Israel, and
Turkey in the past two years. Visitors are also coming for the mountain biking and trekking opportunities provided by Mt. Isarog, a 6,000-foot high dormant volcano. Mt. Isarog is part of the oldest national park in the country, established in 1935.

Mt. Isarog National Park is also a prime location for mountaineering, X-C mountain biking, and downhill mountain biking (with a goal of Asia’s first lift-accessed downhill trails). This vast park will be marketed as a recreation destination when the project reaches critical mass. Planning continues on the bike park this winter with several other trail-building companies cooperating to build additional mileage, a jump park, and four cross tracks.

Its diverse rain forest and cloud forest is listed by the Haribon Foundation as “a key area of global importance.” Even in the dry season it rains almost daily on the higher reaches on the volcano, where trees are covered with intricate mosses and ferns and seemingly innocuous, pretty flowers eat insects and even small rodents.

Trying out a new Mountain bicycling trail at Mt. Isarog

The work is often plagued with “tropical inertia” in the oppressive heat and humidity, not to mention limited funding. Don Hays, one of the partners in this effort, and I agree: we have never designed trails in such a challenging and spectacular environment.

Our daily reconnaissance treks often included 3,000+ feet of elevation gain on slopes in excess of 125%, in jungle so thick you can’t see more than ten feet. These long arduous days often required life-threatening situations where a slight misstep could end up in your own fatality.

There’s something more special about life and living after a few weeks on Isarog. As the sun sets and you perform the daily ritual of picking off the leeches you have fed so well, one can only feel invigorated and thankful to be alive.

On the other side of the coin, but no less amazing, is the overall cultural experience of implementing trail projects in other countries. Immersing yourself in other cultures is an addicting and intoxicating experience.

people in my hometown, Salida, Colorado— a county with 83% public lands. It almost feels like a different planet. The total landmass of Colorado equals that of the 7,107 islands that combined, make up the Republic of the Philippines. However, there are 98 million people in the Philippines and only five million in Colorado.

Tony Boone trying to check the trail grade through the bamboo

The simple act of drinking clean water out of the tap or flushing a toilet that goes to a sewage treatment plant and not into an open canal in your neighborhood is not something we should take for granted. Our towns and cities are so clean, we can wear our outdoor shoes in the house without risking deadly disease to our crawling toddlers. We even keep dogs as pets, not just security guards.

We are truly blessed to have all the things we do in the United States. Surely we would be more content if we could better reconnect with our founding fathers and mothers in our country and more fully appreciate the saying, “the best things in life are free.”

Trails are as old as the humans on our planet. They are part of our life’s fabric, whether it is for recreation, transportation, access to daily food, or protection of natural resources. I love that trails welcome all people and are non-discriminatory in nature. Trails don’t care what your religion, beliefs, race, income, sexual orientation, or recreational passions are.

http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/4994/philippinesboone5.jpg (http://img717.imageshack.us/i/philippinesboone5.jpg/)

So here’s my advice: give back to your community, meet your neighbors, spend quality time with your family and friends, develop a philosophy to live, learn, love, and laugh. Don’t forget that the ultimate key to improving your health, saving our planet, and possibly rekindling your spirit, is out your back door: go play in the dirt!

See more of Tony Boone ‘s photos of the Philippines in the Fall 2009 issue of the American Trails Magazine. As president of Arrowhead Trails, Inc. and Anasazi Trails, Inc. for the past 16 years, Tony has had the opportunity to design and build more than 500 miles of sustainable, natural surface, shared-use trails in nine states and five countries.

Hi Gary, i just drop by for a few minutes. Well, technically Juvy Alvarez is a BDO AREA HEAD covering entire of Bicol region, the Regional head (BDO'S Region 7) is based in Manila. :) Just like to make it clear. In my conversation with Bob.
The Criteria of making BDO NAGA as the Area Head.

1. There are many BDO branches in Naga compare to other parts of Bicol.

2. The Volume of Cash Depositors and transactions are higher in this area.

GTG

How many BDO branches do we have?

How is it there in Naga?

I was watching news on TFC last night and the news that concerned me much is the long dry spell that is currently being experienced in most parts of Luzon. How is it directly affecting the province? This has a chain of effects from agriculture to energy sector to every household across the country. NAPOCOR is already planning a rotating brownouts due to critical shortage of power supply as a consequence of persistently reducing water levels among hydrothermal facililities, our main energy source. Local forumers will be directly affected because of downtimes.

Good day sir! I'm in Tabaco Right now and it's kind of mixed up weather I'm experiencing here.. at one moment, there's a downpour of heavy rain and then it's scorching heat again...

What worries me though about the power outages is the May 2010 polls... :eek2:

I agree with you Aidz. Bicol will not really be affected much by the El Nino phenomenon because we are blessed with rain even during the height of summer.

But the recurring brownouts will really be a big headache during the conduct of the elections. I cringe in fear for what those shenanigans will do during brownouts. I'm sure they are planning things now. :ohno:

welcome to the Jesuit University in Bikol. Halls of buildings on campus are named after Jesuits, except for one (Santos Hall, after the archbishop of Caceres who founded the Ateneo; Santos was a student of the Jesuits in San Jose Seminary, Manila)

Richie (Fernando) Hall is named after the 26-yr old Jesuit Pinoy missionary in Cambodia who lost his life as he saved a classroom full of handicapped students from a grenade explosion. A troubled student was about to throw the grenade into the room when he came and restrained this student.

O'B Hall (James J O'Brien Lib) is named after the Father of Bikol Studies, a Jesuit New Yorker assigned as socioeconomics teacher and prefect of discipline at the Ateneo de Naga in the 60s. his punishment for erring boys: he would ask them to teach him Bikol! he learned and loved suanoy Bikol and wrote and spoke the language fluently, putting together the collection of original articles (mostly by student researchers) on Bikol, "The Historical and Cultural Heritage of the Bikol People". He began the Tulong Dunong program at the Ateneo de Naga, which the Ateneo de Manila later adopted.

^^very educational as well! perfect for students and pupils

good to see so many new things at the Science Centrum.

^^ Speaking of Mc Do, Elias Angeles Street Branch will be renovated soon according to one of their crew who happens to be a working student of our university

perhaps a third McDo store in Naga along Magsaysay? it will be the first fastfood there, if ever. or is it advisable to restrict the area to restaurants and non-fastfood places, in keeping with the "spirit" of the strip.

is McDo Plaza store expanding? Bikol's first McDo at Bichara/ centro still stands strong. my sister who was part of the pioneering Bikol McDo team said that they should've gotten a bigger space.

Good morning to all!
Wow! Great photos of Tinagba!
Congrats!

to our friends at the Tinagba, send us some fruits and vegies from the grotto. siguradong kadakul yan! interesting how this festival connects with other ancient harvest festivals of other cultures worldwide: the offering of the firstfruits to the Supreme Being.

Jewish culture, which traces its roots among the nomadic tribes and later, the pastoral peoples of the area, observed the celebration of the firstfruits- the firstborn lamb, first grains, first grapes etc were offered to the Almighty. this ancient image of the firstfruits offered is found in Christian liturgy which involves the offering of the firstborn Son.

cheers to the winners! Jericho Rosales is originally from Bula, CamSur. Mark Herras is originally from Naga, though he grew up in Manila. he would spend summers past in Sta Cruz where we also lived. would see him with his cousin who was my student at the Ateneo de Naga.

precisely sir! The moment Sec. Angeles announced last year that there will be an energy crisis this year, something didn't feel right. It's like he's conditioning our minds that this thing's bound to happen and it should be expected... I hope not...

The weather's crazy... last year, march and April was wet with rain... I don't know today... :ohno:

yap sort of trending brownouts to set the mind of the people for impending power crisis "kuno" this early we should be really watchful as to wht will happen in the next few months before election. as "election cheater trapos" are desperate on how to manipulate the upcoming election, from wht i learned there's no way the election would disappoint us this time, as first ever automated election, all stake holder i think are well prepared by now,like telco's whose transmission facility will be use for election result transmission, just in case all three Telco's fail's. I've heard there will be a standby via satellite transmission in every PCOS provided by comelec partners,but the main problem now is power :ohno:

Dreams?

ah! yung kanta ni Selena...

Sa dreams lang pala...

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I'd wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you even see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So, I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you(Yes, I don)

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Ahhh...I can't stop dreaming of you
Ahhh...I can't stop dreamin

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe that you came up to me
And said, "I love you; I love you too"

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow, and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming with you endlessly...

ganito ba!?

NCR panalo sa STEP competition (http://pia.gov.ph/?m=12&r=r05&y=&mo=&fi=p100212.htm&no=A1)

by Danny Abad

Naga City (12 February) -- Ang National Capital Region (NCR) ang naging over-all champion sa 5 araw na kompetisyon ng Student Technology and Entrepreneurs of the Philippines (STEP) na ginawa dito sa Lungsod ng Naga na nagsimula pa noong Pebrero 5 hanggang petsa 9 at nagkaroon ng awarding ceremonies noong Martes na gabi.

Sumunod sa NCR ay ang Bicol region na nakuha ang 1st runner-up o ikalawang pwesto sa nasabing contest.

Masaya ang mga opisyal ng Department of Education dito sa Lalawigan ng Camarines Sur, Naga City lalong-lalo na sa buong rehiyon dahil sa maganda ang naging performance ng mga estudyante sa bawat events na sinalihan ng mga ito.

Ayun kay Dr. Paz Olfindo, regional supervisor ng EPP na hindi sila nagkamali sa pagkuha ng mga estudyante na lumahok sa nasabing paligsahan.

Ilan sa mga nakuhang gantimpala ng Bicol region sa pagiging 1st runner-up ay ang Agriculture, Fishery skills at Sales competition.

Ang DepEd Bicol ay naging pangpito noong nakaraang taon sa parehong competisyon na ginawa sa Baguio City.

Nangako rin ang mga opisyal ng DepEd sa rehiyon na mas lalo pa nilang isasanay ang mga estudyante upang makuha ang kampeon sa susunod kumpetisyon na magaganap sa Caraga region.

Ang ginawang aktibidad na ito ay dinaluhan ng 16 na rehiyon mula sa man ibat-ibang eskwelahan sa buong Pilipinas. (PIA)

Citizens' Forum on Democratization Held (http://voxbikol.com/bikolnews/4049/citizens-forum-democratization-held)

"I was a victim of oligarchic politics."

This was the revelation of former Naga City Mayor Sulpicio "Cho" Roco during a citizens' forum which invited some of Naga City's mayoralty candidates last 26 January at the Ateneo de Naga University.

An activity that is part of the Philosophy Week celebration of the university, the forum Citizens in the Public Square: A Forum on Democratization had invited Naga City Councilor John Bongat of the Liberal Party (LP), former City mayor Sulpicio Roco of Aksyon Demokratiko, and Atty. Adan Botor of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC).

Only Roco and Botor showed up; Bongat chose to not attend the forum despite stating earlier that he would.

Roco's statement of being a "victim" of Naga's oligarchic politics came as a response when he was asked how he can confront structures of oligarchic politics.

Earlier, Roco had spoken about oligarchic politics as manifested by the existence of "power hoarding" in the City in which for almost 20 years, power had been in the hands of one individual. While he did not name the individual, it was clear to the audience that Roco was referring to present Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo, an erstwhile political ally of Roco.

For his part, Atty. Botor criticized the waste disposal management of the City government, the lack of protection of the Naga River, and the "sick" conditions among urban poor settlers.

"We sacrifice welfare for the sake of politics," Botor pointed out.

Among the issues discussed during the forum were the importance of the elections in addressing the problem of oligarchy, environmental protection of the Naga River, the effects of SM to local businesses, flooding, crime prevention, and civic programs particularly on the promotion of devotion to Ina.

Fr. Wilmer Tria, Chair of the Philosophy Department, formally opened the event by making general observations regarding local politics.

Fr. Tria spoke about the need for citizens to be vigilant in the face of the Naga City government's aversion of criticism about its governance.

The citizens' forum was composed of four parts. The first gave the speakers the opportunity to discuss three topics: oligarchy, environment, and peace/security.

The second part was the interpellation between the speakers, while the third part had a panel of sectoral representatives ask questions to the speakers.

The last part was an open forum with questions coming from the audience.

UNEP Spearheads Regional Conference for Librarians (http://voxbikol.com/bikolnews/4059/unep-spearheads-regional-conference-librarians)

The never-ending quest for advancement through digital modernization spreads even through the nooks and corners of traditional libraries. Literacy innovations became an aim, not just for educators but also for librarians. They challenge themselves to make this comprehension available in every information alley. The digital distribution of information became a must ---- and libraries are not spared from this.

In order to be at par with this modernization, librarians should also be equipped with corresponding know-how and expertise in order to implement these changes properly. In response, the University of Northeastern Philippines (UNEP), is all set to conduct a 2-day regional seminar-workshop on February 18 and 19 at UNEP Mini theater.

Entitled "Building Literate Communities through Books and Libraries", the conference aims to generate awareness on the significance of information literacy among students and teachers. It also intends to define the role of libraries in the promotion of information literacy.

UNEP President Atty. Remelisa Alfelor-Moraleda said that the conference will shed a new light on the true role of librarians as providers of easy-access information. "One of the objectives of this conference is to provide our intended recipients, particularly our librarians with the concept of information literacy. Their primary role as front liners is also vital for the dissemination of correct and factual data and information."

Libraries served as a "store room" of information and publications, making it available for every user who wants to learn and research facts and information. Yet as time passed by, librarian's role became more challenging.

Amidst the digital revolution where information is just a click away, the increasing herd of library-users has maintained its steady pace. For one, a computer cannot assist a student who simply finds it difficult to search the internet site, find the right web address and browse the net, but a librarian can guide you in searching what you need thru the reference books which she carefully labeled and catalogued.

UNEP Executive Vice President and the university's Vice President for Finance, Ms. Deli Aldelor-Tibi, said that the role of librarians is not an easy task. "The amazing task of librarians might have been neglected by many, the reason why we need to reinforce their vital role in our society. We hope that through this seminar, we will also be able to see and appreciate what they have done and what they have preciously contributed to help mold the minds of our students."

Target participants for the regional confab are teachers, librarians and education students. Elvira B. Lapuz and Zarah Grace C. Gagatiga, both from the University of the Philippines (UP), were invited as resource speakers for the conference.

Interested participants may contact the following personnel: Hermie- 0915-7781402, Joyce- 0918-6984844, Lorena-0919-4589436 and Jaida-0929-3187601. For more details, call telephone numers (054) 299-2698, ext. 57 and (054) 456-0294.

PNR gets $110M loan
Southrail rehab work is on track (http://www.bicolmail.com/issue/2010/feb11/b-story.html)
By MAR S. ARGUELLES

LEGAZPI CITY --- The rehabilitation of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) Manila-Bicol line is on track following the infusion of a $110 million loan from the Korea Exim Bank, an official of the government railway firm said yesterday.

Nicolas Beda Priela, PNR executive officer, said the multi million dollar soft loan is Western Nautical Highway.

Expected to be released by the Korea Exim Bank anytime this quarter to jump start the implementation of the Northrail-Southrail Linkage project Phase II and the Bicol Commuter Service (BCS) by June this year.

Priela at a DOTC sponsored Ulat sa Bayan forum said the southrail rehabilitation is under the PNR’s short term strategic development plan designed to link the north and southrail systems, revitalize the PNR Manila-Bicol lines and put up a Bicol Commuter Service.

The BCS would provide commuter train services to the riding public plying the Tagkawayan, Quezon – Guinobatan, Albay routes, Priela said.

To improve operational efficiency, the PNR management board plans to pursue a partial privatization of core and non-core functions. This way, it will “rationalize the organization” thru personnel service outsourcing and contracting, Priela explained.

Priela said ongoing rehabilitation works of the Manila-Bicol line include the on-going construction of the San Cristobal and Travesia bridges in Bicol; replacement of its wooden ties with concrete ; setting up of communication lines between Quezon and Albay; repair of two locomotives and five coaches.

Improvement of the Naga PNR station and it started the Bicol Commuter Services covering the Ligao-Naga-Sipocot routes which is fast gaining ridership and revenue, Priela said.

The state-run railway firm has cleared and resettled 34,718 informal settlers along the PNR row in Manila to Calamba. The settlers were relocated to various resettlement sites in Bulacan, Cavite, Muntinlupa and Laguna.

Priela said the state railway firm operating with a P135 million budget has performed well, meeting its yearly goal at 90 percent.

Last year, revenue from railway operation grossed P17.4 million as compared to the previous year’s P15.4 million.

For its Medium Term Development Program the PNR expects the government to earmark some P1.25 billion funds to finance the full rehabilitation of the existing narrow gauge Manila-Legazpi line for passenger, freight and local commuter service operation.

PNR pipeline projects under the MTDP will include: upgrading of the Southrail and opening of the Sorsogon Extension Project under a “standard gauge system” for the express passenger train and inter-connectivity with the North rail.

“The setting up of the standard gauge system will go alongside with the existing narrow gauge rails, this is similar to the LRT/MRT system operation,” Priela said.

The project would link the Southrail project to the Eastern Nautical Highway in the Visayas. Project implementation covers: Phase 1-A covering Caloocan – Lucena; Phase 1B- Lucena to Legazpi, and Phase II Daraga, Albay to Matnog, Sorsogon and to connect with the Eastern Nautical Highway.

The PNR Calamba would be reactivated with the Batangas Port line for commuter and freight services to link with the Western Nautical Highway.

DepEd’s skills competition promotes livelihood education (http://www.bicolmail.com/issue/2010/feb11/xkills.html)
By Juan Escandor Jr. (Photos by Pons Caudilla)

NAGA CITY---Similar to athletics, the Department of Education (DepEd) holds inter-regional competition on technical and vocational skills to promote livelihood education.

Now on its eighth year, the DepEd again gave recognition to the most skilled and talented students from public elementary, secondary and technical-vocational (tech-voc) schools with the annual holding of Students Technologists and Entrepreneurs of the Philippines-National Skills Development Competition (STEP-NSDC) held here on Feb. 5-10.

This is the second time Naga City hosted the STEP-NSDC. The first one was in 2005.

The five-day national skills competitive event showcased the most precise execution of vocational and technical skills and best production of crafts and products by pre-college students.

The students-participants were judged by their work on the contest day like castrating a goat, making a knockdown toddler’s furniture, wiring a house, weaving a hat, tie dying a garment or decorating a cake.

Aside from trophies, the top winners received National Certificate of Tesda, a certification of technical and vocational competency required of skilled jobs.

Ricardo M. De Lumen, acting director of the DepEd’s Technical and Vocational Education, said the National Certificate of Tesda the national skills competition bestowed upon winners automatically qualified them for employment.

De Lumen said the levels of competition are elementary, secondary and tech-voc with respective skills contests based on the level of competency, where the latter level considered most advanced.

Examples of tech-voc contests held here were troubleshooting and repair of colored television, feed formulation, hair coloring and styling, dressing and drawing of chicken, laying out an orchard, auto electrical wiring and many more comprising 25 contests.

For secondary and elementary, the contests dwelled on home economics and practical arts like golden wedding cake decorating, auto engine tune up, table skirting and setting, fresh fruit shake preparation or making steel baluster.

Joey G. Pelaez, executive director of DepEd-Center for Students Co-Curricular Affairs (CSCA) and brain behind of the event concept, revealed they started the competition seven years ago in Cebu City to emphasize livelihood education through vocational and technical skills development of students in the elementary and secondary schools.

“We all know there is a large portion among students who drop out along the way. So we thought of making them learn, practice and improve their technical and livelihood skills which are really in the education curriculum such as the Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE), Edukasyon Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan (EPP) and Technical and Vocational Education (TVE),” Pelaez explained.

He added they want to improve the level of technical and vocational competency of the students so that when they reach high school they already posses the practical knowledge and skills of making a living out of what they have learned in TLE, EPP and TVE.

For this year’s national skills competition, some 2,600 students-participants, coaches and DepEd personnel and officials from 16 teams from the regions all over the country participated, filling up 100 percent occupancy of 30 hotels of the total 34 hotels in downtown Naga City for a week.

Pelaez said the national skills event was originally slated in December last year but it was postponed because of the onslaught of typhoons “Pepeng” and “Ondoy”. The National Capital Region, Region IVA and Region III and Cordillera Autonomous Region were not able to hold the regional competition before target date because of the disruption. The NCR and CAR were able to hold their regional event last month only.

He said the STEP-NSDC advocated for the practical arts, agriculture and industrial skills development to be not mere appendages of public education but subjects that must be taken seriously within the concept of livelihood education.

Pelaez recalled he made the proposal in 1997 and coordinated with the Department of Trade and Industry’s youth representative Ana Marie Periquet to pilot entrepreneurship program among the students by training teachers in pilot schools, wherein entrepreneur clubs of students were organized, which became the forerunner of the STEP.

“We wanted to encourage the teaching of vocational and technical skills so we thought of a competition to make the teachers of the livelihood education really teach their students the art and practical skills,” he said.

In 2001, the skills competition had reached the division level while in 2002, the regional level and it was only in 2003 when the STEP-NSDC achieved national scope, Pelaez bared.

He said the participants of the STEP-NSDC are the most skilled and talented students selected from the division to regional level competition where industry specialists are invited and pool of coaches organized to judge the best workmanship.
