Welcome to the this thread, OilMover!!!

Goodluck to your trip... Hope you discover the city more...

Thanks very much @garzland. My wife hails from Naga and I've been to your city three times. It's a beautiful, vibrant city... you should be very proud of it.

The hot news in the City of Naga is that Mayor Jesse M. Robredo is being considered this early for inclusion in the senatorial line-up of the Liberal Party, together with Fr. Eddie “Manong” Panlilio and Governor Padaca.

Mayor Jesse M. Robredo should go for it. Naga City is too small for him. He has been in the helm of the city for almost a score and he has not met any political challenger who has given him a run for the mayoral seat and finally has grabbed it away from him. He has run for mayor to win, not to tremble for fear of losing the seat. He always has his ways around the city. The Sanggunian Panlungsod take their cue from him regarding what resolutions and ordinances are to be approved and what to be tabled. He has not met any opposition that really worries him, makes him cry to high heavens for help.

Mayor Jesse M. Robredo should go for it. It is high time to find out if in the national level he still has as much charisma as he has in the City of Naga. In the national level he is almost on his own, except for his loyalists from Naga and for those from Bicolano communities in various provinces in the country. For sure, the call for ubos kun ubos, gabos kun gabos will not be as effective and colorful in the national elections as it has been in Naga City. Victory in the national level is not all charisma. There, money speaks louder than charisma. And Mayor Robredo must have much of it --- running to several hundred millions --- to keep his name in the limelight. But the question is where will he get that much money? How much really does he have at this time considering the salary that the city mayor receives in a month?

Mayor Jesse M. Robredo should go for it. Others who are as highly reputed, heavily decorated, and multi-awarded as Mayor Robredo are already in national engagements in politics. The time for Robredo to be in the national limelight of politics is high, now that the Arroyo administration is continually plagued by series of impeachment cases and by exposes of graft and corruption. With a reputation of being clean and being new, Mayor Robredo might still have an advantage old faces in politics might not have.

Mayor Robredo can always point to Naga City in claiming what he can do in the national level just as much as Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Bayani Fernando points to Marikina City and to the MMDA as his show windows about what he can and will do when he sits as President of the Republic of the Philippines.

Yet what will Mayor Jesse M. Robredo point to in Naga City as his come-on for voters who hear of him for the first time?

Of course he can always have reprints of the issue of Newsweek which featured him as the Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for local governance. The write-up in that issue is worth reading and may win the mind and heart of its readers. Obviously, the Ramon Magsaysay Award is not just given to anybody --- to any Tom, Dick or Harry --- who has not excelled in one’s own field.

Of course he can always document the many awards showered locally, nationally and internationally on the City of Naga while he was its Mayor. These plaques and certificates of recognition are testimonies on the level of excellence and distinction the city has attained under his leadership. But these are not enough. There are still many issues that have not been satisfactorily answered by his administration and programs that have fallen short to expectations. The permanent dump site for the waste of the city and the management of roving or squatting vendors in the central business district are recurring headaches for the Robredo administration. The absence of trash cans along General Luna and Elias Angeles streets do not speak well of the Robredo administration. These are issues that are bad enough for Naga. Insignificant as these may seem but taking the lesson from the insignificant orinola brought against President Elpidio Quirino, these local issues in Naga might be the bad issues to be brought in the national limelight against wannabe Senator Jesse M. Robredo.

Yes the real price is php 300 but for caramoanons it´s 150 only not much for tourists but as most of the caramoanons dont have any regular incomes ewen php 150 is a lot and they do realy own the gotta beach as I see it and should go in for free!
I know as my wife is grown up there and her famly still lives there.

I hope for a shange & hopefully the Caramoanons can ewentually start owning some kinda incomes from this development that is ongoing there!

Best Regards

Arild

I am not sure about that amount, because when I had the chance to go to Gota when I was in Caramoan to conduct the Philippine Science High School examination. The fee was P300.00, not P150.00. I should know because I was with someone working for the LGU. We got a discount though (P150.00) because my visit was kind of paid for by the local government. I got to talk to some locals and they say they really pay first before going there even though they won't swim at all. They said they used to go to the beach before--for free--and these "developments" have recently banned them from enjoying what they did years ago.

Miss Ko na ang Naga City Especially ung mag Lakad sa Centro. hehehehe

Are you in Manila?
You haven't been to the city since when? Then you should try going back here in stroll around the city...:):):)

Thanks very much @garzland. My wife hails from Naga and I've been to your city three times. It's a beautiful, vibrant city... you should be very proud of it.

I'm glad you have visited the city thrice... Hope you come back!!!:)

I'm very proud of it and its achievements... The city has changed so much... I remember when the roads within Calauag were so dusty during summer and muddy during rainy season.... Now, you can see well-paved roads within the city.... The city was just a third class back then but within 3 years of Robredo's leadership it had tremendously progressed and became first class...

City Government of Naga

INTRODUCTION

• Six months ago, I rendered my most recent State of the City report amidst an economic crisis
characterized by runaway fuel cost, rising inflation and a negative outlook driven by a wounded
US economy.
• Today, the situation is worse: the crisis has gone global, sending developed economies into
recession; the prognosis is grim, even with a new Democratic leadership taking over the US; and
while the Philippines is not badly hit as others, the overall economic outlook is not encouraging.
• Nonetheless, we are not losing and will not lose hope. On the balance, the city did well last year
under difficult circumstances: judging by our performance indicators across the board, they
were generally better than last year (although the crisis did affect us). But then again, prudence
dictates that we exercise greater caution as the world, and our country, moves forward in a
decidedly more challenging environment.
Given this context, allow me to summarize the operating highlights of the City Government of
Naga for 2008:
I. Economic Services
1. Naga City Investment Board
• Bicol's premier business hub. During the year, the city maintained its standing among the
Top 10 Most Competitive in the small cities category of AIM's biennial City Competitiveness
Survey. The Metro Naga Chamber of Commerce and Industry also maintained its
preeminent status, having been recognized as the most outstanding business chamber by
the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
o But notwithstanding our solid scores for governance, the city’s ranking slipped in
the AIM survey, especially in areas not directly within our control. This should be a
cause for concern, not only for us but for other stakeholders in the city.
• Investments. While building construction and property development stood still in terms of
volume, the number of new local enterprises still managed to grow by around 30%, from
858 to 1,111. But in terms of value, the city still managed to register solid growth: an
average of 117% increase (from P774.3 million in 2007 to P1.682 billion in 2008) broken
down into
o 113% for new enterprises (from P341.5 to P728.7 million)
o 55% for building construction (from P373.3 to P576.9 million), and
o 533% in property development (from P59.5 to P376.1 million).
Using the standard investment-to-job conversion rate, these investments translate to 6,727
new jobs added into the local economy.
* Presented by Mayor Jesse M. Robredo before the Sangguniang Panlungsod during its regular meeting on January 20,
2009.
2
• CBD II. The biggest investment in the city to date, the Naga City mall of the SM Group of
Companies will tentatively open on May 15, 2009. Phase I of the Bicol Access Health
Centrum, a health and wellness facility, is now being constructed at CBD II.
• Magsaysay. The Magsaysay area also maintained its fast-paced development, highlighted
by the completed expansion of the Villa Caceres Hotel and the Olivan Seaoil project, and
the rise of new upscale restaurants and joints like Cereza, Red Platter and Kopiroti-Bacolod
Chicken Inasal.
• Computer animation. Human resource capability building is ongoing, with focus on
developing original content, through the Naga City Creative Media Center
o “Sa Gabos na Panahon” won as Best Regional Entry and Best Animation
(Professional Category) during the Animahenasyon 2008, an annual animation
contest organized by the Animation Council of the Philippines.
o E-learning modules production is also on-going in partnership with the Naga City
School Board, with 6 pilot modules under development.
o The Center is currently incubating two firms, down from the original 3, but is eyeing
two more solid leads this year.
2. Metro PESO
• Livelihood. Beneficiaries increased by 34% (from 1,102 in 2007 to 1,471 in 2008), loan
releases by 59% (from P8.6 to 13.6 million), and loan collections by 29% (from P6.4 to P8.3
million).
• Local employment. Local job applicants assisted increased by 48% (from 4,092 to 6,069).
However, local employers assisted decreased by 1.5% (from 795 to 783), and local job
placement by 4% (from 2,656 to 2,546). The decrease is attributed to spiraling fuel and
food prices that dampened local economic growth in contrast to usual increase in spending
during the 2007 election campaign.
• Overseas employment. On the other hand, overseas job applicants assisted increased by
71% (from 1,110 to 1,895), overseas agencies assisted by 65% (from 31 to 51), and
overseas job placement by 372% (from 36 to 170).
• Local and overseas jobs fairs. During the period, the frequency of jobs fairs increased by
100%, from 3 to 6, enabling us to raise the number of local employers and overseas
agencies assisted by 71% and 74%, respectively. Similarly, the number of microentrepreneurs
assisted went up by 100%, from 25 to 50. Nonetheless, the number of local
and overseas applicants assisted went down by 36% and 25%, respectively, indicating a
significant contraction in the local labor market.
• Business center for women. In partnership with the CIDA-funded Great Women project, a
Metro Naga business display center had been inaugurated and operationalized at the back
of the Plaza Quezon.
3. City Agriculturist Office
• Rice and corn production. The city recorded a total harvest of 6,503.80 metric tons for
2008. a 42% increase in production over 2007 due to
o increased hectarage from 1,264.33 to 1,690.79 hectares, and
o improved farm yield from an average of 3.63 tons per hectare in 2007 to 3.84 tons
in 2008.
3
• In partnership with the Department of Agriculture, certified seeds and synthetic fertilizers
were distributed to 316 farmers while cost-reduction technologies such as palay seed
inoculation and organic fertilizer use were introduced to 236 farmers.
• As for corn, production slipped from 3,516 tons in 2007 to 3,134 metric tons or by 11%
notwithstanding the subsidized distribution of corn seeds to 55 corn farmers. The steep
rise in fertilizer prices last year took its toll on corn farmers.
• Vegetable, fruit tree, and livestock. A total of P80,355 was granted to 19 vegetable
associations benefiting over 300 households in 11 agricultural barangays and are now
supplying fresh vegetables to local markets.
o On the other hand, 100 farmers are undergoing farmers field school in cacao
propagation to be linked later on to a national marketing system once volume
production starts.
o As for livestock, 29 farmers were beneficiaries of offsprings of earlier cattle and
carabao dispersal program while the city’s share from disposal of fattened livestock
reached P279,214 last year representing payments from 11 beneficiaries.
• Farm machineries. A total of P247,363 was collected from 104 recipients who availed of
our farm tractor services while 13 farmers availed of flat bed dryer services representing
production from 40 has. of rice and corn land. These were two of the mechanized service
offerings of the city.
3. Naga City Public Market Office
• The Naga City Public Market Office generated a total revenue of P22.4 million for 2008,
which is actually 11% higher than 2007’s P20.1 million before the unexpected November 6
fire that devastated the second and third floors of the 40-year old facility.
o Of the total, market rentals contributed P15.2 million, cash tickets P5 million and
goodwill payments P1.4 million, with other income accounting for the balance.
• Nonetheless, the conflagration, while creating dislocation and inconvenience for occupants
and the general public, also presents us an opportunity to build/rebuild a new and better
facility that will be more competitive and responsive to modern needs of our citizens – and
one that will anchor the ongoing renewal of CBD I.
4. Naga City Abattoir
• The Naga City Abattoir focused its attention towards improving efficiencies to make up for
its P0.99-million operating loss during the year – built around multi-tasking staff that also
performs carpentry, masonry, welding and clerical duties on top of their main butchering
function.
• This led to the
o minimization of fuel used for the steam boiler because of the newly repaired, much
bigger facility, reducing consumption from 22,800 liters in 2007 to 19,500 liters in
2008
o minimization of water consumption from the monthly average of P41,315.63 to
P37,919.69, and
o the rehabilitation of canals, fabrication of flaying cart for cow dehiding,
construction of a firewood-fed chimney, all using NCA staff.
4
• The rehabilitation of restrainer box used in stunning the animals from dilapidated metal
materials to one made of concrete brought positive results and facilitated the job of the
stunner/butcher.
• More importantly, the NCA also served as the only TESDA-accredited training facility for
butchers, having graduated 40 last year (26 of whom have been placed abroad), with
around 50 more undergoing training.
5. Naga City Visitor’s Center
• Urban beautification and renewal. The city started facelifting of CBD 1 by improving
sidewalks and installing bright lampposts within the old commercial area. Beautification
and improvement of Plaza Quezon and Quince Martires is ongoing. Side by side, a
monument at soon-to-be revived Plaza de Nueva Caceres at the corner of Gen. Luna Street
and Calle Caceres, fronting the Naga City Public Market, has been approved for
implementation.
• Tourist arrivals. Naga continued to stretch its lead as a tourist hub, along with the province
of Camarines Sur. From January to September this year, they posted a total of 547,194
foreign and domestic and tourists arrivals, which account for more than half of the 993,964
registered for Bicol during the period – an increase of 56% over the 350,944 tourists
registered last year. The regional total, incidentally, is only 6,036 shy of the one-million
mark that DOT-Bicol targets to hit before year end.
• Convention and tourist hub. Naga hosted a number of important national events during
the year: the National Executive Officers and National Board Meeting of the Philippine
Councilors League on July 18-20, the national convention of the City and Municipal
Engineers Association of the Philippines on August 13-15, and the 7th Regional Jamboree of
the Boy Scouts of the Philippines from November 22-27. It also co-hosted the 9th National
Cooperative Summit in October 16-17 where major hotels served as billeting centers for
delegates coming from all over the country.
• Governance tourism. During the year, further highlighting our reputation as a leading
destination for governance tourism, we also welcomed the South Luzon caravan and
National Executive Board meeting of the League of Cities of the Philippines on April 17-20,
the Annual Conference of Public Librarians on October 27-29 as well as the New Public
Management seminar of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation on October 7-10.
• Pilgrimage city. Being the center of religious history in Bicol, Naga will play a key role in the
grand preparations for the Tercentenary celebration of the 300th year of devotion to
Nuestra Senora de Penafrancia that will culminate in 2010. A concept paper has been
prepared for the installation of commemorative landmarks and historico-religious
structures to highlight a devotion that started around 100 hundred years after the
establishment of the Diocese of Caceres on August 15, 1595.
II. Social Services
1. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
• Notwithstanding the high standards we have set for ourselves, the city continued to make
headways in poverty, education and health. Our malnutrition, elementary participation,
infant and under-five child mortality rates and maternal mortality ratios all went up.
5
Immunization coverage maintained its performance last year, indicating a continuing
challenge to promote greater local acceptance.
• The other education indicator remains a lingering weak area in our annual MDG tracking,
as completion rate went down by 4 percentage points, from 74.5% to 70.3%.
Goal 2000-06 2007 2008 Trend Reg’l Nat’l
Poverty incidence 18.9% n.d. n.d. n.a. 40.5% 24.4%
Preschool malnutrition 5.6% 4.4% 4.0% + 22.6% 24.6%
Elem participation rate 100% 106% 130% + 85.1% 84.4%

Infant mortality 8.96 0.30 0.06 + 9.3 24.0
Maternal mortality 0 0.30 0.06 + 1.2 162.0
Fully immunized children 81% 85% 85% 87% n.d.
2. Naga City Hospital
• The Naga City Hospital served a total of 48,858 patients, translating to an average of 191
patients daily for 2008. It is 15% higher than the 2007 figure of 42,425 and 3% better than
the 2006 figure of 47,069.
• Of the total, 97% or 47,937 were out-patients, which translated to an average of 187
patients a day. The number of in-patients went down during the 2nd semester of 2008 in
view of ongoing facilities upgrading at the city hospital, which are already completed.
• A total of 34,385 laboratory examinations were performed by the Clinical Laboratory,
ranging from routine microscopy to blood chemistry and serology. This already includes
1,362 ECG exams, using the equipment donated by the Bienvenido Tan Foundation. It is
nonetheless 4% lower than the 35,717 registered in 2007.
• Pharmacy served 52,630 prescriptions, representing 63% of the 82,686 prescriptions
issued. This is better than the 58% logged in 2006 but lower than the 70% recorded last
year. They are, however, better than comparable numbers of other public hospitals in the
region.
3. City Health Office
• Dengue cases decreased by 1% (from 229 to 228), chicken pox by 13% (from 109 to 95),
pneumonia by 29% (from 922 to 656), influenza by 3% (from 499 to 484), and diarrhea by
82% (from 1,234 to 226) between 2008 and the previous year.
• For the second consecutive year, human rabies death remained at 0.
• On the other hand, typhoid fever cases increased by 60% (from 15 to 24) and measles by
280% (from 5 to 19)
o The former is mainly due to intensified case finding efforts of CHO staff. The latter,
on the other hand, is driven by three factors: the DOH directive to expand reporting
coverage beyond 9 month-old children, documented measles cases among adults,
and the refusal of mothers to have their children immunized, thereby exposing
them to the disease.
• The city also maintained the number of fully immunized children at 85% of the total target
population. But it remains 10% off the 95% coverage registered in 2005.
6
4. City Veterinary Office
• A total of 2,101 dogs and cats for 2008 were vaccinated during the year, a 26% increase
over the 1,670 recorded in 2007.
• Dog registration also increased by 47% (from 1,368 to 2,010). Dogs impounded, on the
other hand, went down by 25% due to increased citizen awareness about responsible pet
ownership.
• Bite incidence also decreased by 16%; however, close to 10 cases of canine rabies were
recorded, higher than the 2 cases registered in 2007.
5. City Social Welfare Development Office
• Thanks to efforts of the CSWDO and its partners, the city was again selected as the most
child-friendly city in the Bicol region, and one of the four finalists for the Most Child-
Friendly recognition at the national level, which we reached since 2002 and won for the
first time in 2006.
o This is notwithstanding huge resource constraints: our 2007 operating budget of
more or less P400 million is only 6% of Makati (P6.8 billion), 30% of Cebu (P1.35B),
and 50% of Bacolod (P803 million), and our 2007 SEF budget of P39 million is only
3% of Makati (P1.3B), 39% of Cebu (P99.8 million) and 50% of Bacolod (78.3
million).
• Sanggawadan, the special preventive program for street and urban working children,
expanded its beneficiaries from 1,596 in year 2007 to 2,238 in 2008, a 40% increase in
coverage. More than P3.5 million went to cover rice incentives, school supplies and free
basic entrance school fees to beneficiaries.

processing center and temporary shelter for street children at the Naga City Social
Development Center within the city hall compound.
6. Naga City School Board
• The city spent P10.3 million to fund the hiring of 110 locally funded elementary and
secondary school teachers (representing at least 10% of the total public school teaching
staff). This helped reduce class size in the Naga schools division.
• But academic performance remains mixed
7
o While the best Naga students have proven to be better than their counterparts all
throughout the region, indicated by our top ranking in the Regional Unified
Achievement Test (RUAT) conducted by DepEd - Bicol, our National Achievement
Test (NAT) results have barely moved over the last three years from the 45.4 to
48.2% range.
o The Division Achievement Test (DAT) results are more promising, increasing by
about 7 percentage points to 52.3% in 2008 from 45.8 in 2007.

students or roughly 50% of the total enrolment in Naga public schools, and
o provided a total of 86,640 free milk packs to 1,444 pupils in eight upland
elementary schools in partnership with the Land O'Lakes Foundation. At the same,
its P1.14 million funding outlay for the Nutri-Dunong program provided mongo,
macaroni, champorado feeding commodities to the 21 other elementary schools in
the city.
• Through the CHRMO, a total of 27 scholars graduated in March 2008, bringing the
cumulative total to 397 scholars graduated under the Iskolar kan Ciudad Program. Aside
from regular scholars, the city also entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with Don
Bosco where 209 vocational students as of to date are now gainfully employed.
7. Raul S. Roco Library

services and programs recognized as a Best Practice among LGU-run libraries nationwide
by the National Library during the 2008 Conference of Public Librarians which Naga hosted
on October 27-29.
• Notwithstanding the transfer of the DepEd Library Hub, it has improved the circulation of
books among individual clients and schools, serving 21 public elementary schools and 56
EduCare centers which availed of its children’s books. Moreover, 10 public elementary
schools also accessed its Bookmobile references.
• Aided by around 1,400 books donated by the National Library and the Thomas Jefferson
Information Center, the RSR Library raised its collection to 10,651 volumes – 40% higher
than it was four years ago.

hectares amounting to around P6 million, benefiting 286 households occupying them.
o This brings the total number of beneficiaries to 8,285, more than twice the 4,000
households originally targeted for coverage when Kaantabay started in 1989. Of
these, 1,793 households (or 22%) have been given title to their respective
homelots.
• During the year, we have also
o Secured LCMP accreditation on October 22, 2008, qualifying the city for a P50-

2004, based on data from my 2005 State of the City report.
• Out of the 1,542 crime incidents reported, 38 percent were index crime (Murder,
Homicide, Physical Injuries, Rape, Robbery and theft). The remaining 62% were accounted
by police-initiated operations, violations of special laws, and other violations under the
revised Penal Code.

CONCLUSION
• What is in store for the current year? Given the prevailing uncertainties that have
dumbfounded most experts – with only a handful out of thousands practicing economists
able to predict the 2008 crash of the global financial markets – it is difficult to hazard a
guess.
• But this we can assure the residents of Naga: The city government will continue to maintain,
if not surpass, the governance standards of which we have earned a name for ourselves. We
will ensure that public spending for the year will translate into better outcomes where they
matter – in jobs, public health, housing, education and social safety nets aimed at the
bottom 20% of our household population.
15
• ECONOMIC
o JOBS CREATION, LIVELIHOOD DEVELOPMENT. For instance, my administration will
prioritize labor-intensive infrastructure projects that will benefit workers in the
construction sector. At the same time, we will put more money for our own
livelihood programs, create synergies with old and new partners like Allied Bank,
while prodding our flagship Metro Peso to do more with its resources.
o AGRICULTURE. We will invest on growing the rice requirements of our social
welfare programs like Sanggawadan internally – insourcing them under a contract
farming scheme that will initially cover 50 hectares; or in other words, giving local
farmers the first shot at producing the food incentives we are giving to about 3,500
households to encourage them to maintain their children in school.
o Moreover, we will also focus on increasing net farm income for the agricultural
sector by
a. raising production output beyond break-even levels,
b. reducing production cost through mixed organic-synthetic approaches and
other alternative technologies,
c. reducing risks and losses through broader insurance coverage, and
d. maximizing revenue through NFA sales, production of premium grains and
vegetables (e.g. palay seeds, organic vegetables) and lower post harvest
losses.
In the end, our ultimate measure of success in this sector is how well the lives of
our farmers have improved rather than how large production levels have increased.
o IMPROVED ASSET MANAGEMENT. We will leave the city a new and more
competitive public market – one that will underpin the ongoing revitalization of our
old centro, and one that will be more responsive to the city’s needs in the 21st
century. If our financials still warrant, we will also complete the surfacing if not the
full roofing of the Naga City Coliseum.
o We will also create opportunities for the private sector to develop and optimize
existing government assets at no cost to us. We will invite investors to put up
through build-operate-transfer (BOT) schemes a Gwapotel-type dormitory at the
second floor of the Integrated Central Bus Terminal and an integrated Filcab vans
terminal at CBD II, aside from exploring ways of reopening the shuttered TLC
Beatrice meat processing plant in Del Rosario.
• SOCIAL
o SOCIAL WELFARE. We will work towards the full accreditation of our EduCare
system by focusing on the 30 of 72 which are yet to be accredited. Out of the DSWD
building in Pacol transferred to us by the regional office, we will put up an
integrated facility that will serve the needs of our legitimate street children and
battered women.
o And through greater alignment of our internal resources, we will expand the
coverage and scope of services of the Sanggawadan program through poverty
mapping, and by maximizing built capacities and enhanced capabilities in the health
sector – like the recently improved Naga City Primary Hospital which we will
position towards upgrading to a secondary hospital.
16
o Moreover, we will also put up a center for the visually impaired at the ground floor
of the Raul S. Roco Library, with operations target for start during the second
semester of the year.
o PEACE AND ORDER. We will build on gains by the PNP and our PSO by installing
CCTVs in key city locations to deter criminality and ensure better monitoring. At the
same time, we will continue to work with them, encourage them and prod them
not to rest on their laurels but to do even more – to ensure that we can literally
“walk the streets at night unafraid” as we used to.
o ENVIRONMENT. We also take concrete steps closer to the establishment of a new
sanitary landfill. During the previous year, we have completed the necessary
technical and consultative meetings with local communities and other stakeholders
affected by the project. This coming March, our partners from Enviros, the Czech
Republic consulting firm helping us, will present to us a proposed design and the
options available to us.
o Moreover, we will also start investing on regular water quality readings at key
points along the Naga River, to make up for the slack created by the removal of
national government subsidies for water quality monitoring.
• GOVERNANCE
o BARANGAY-BASED PERFORMANCE TRACKING. We will engage with and align our
efforts with the barangays more proactively. Toward this end, we have rolled out
the Barangay Performance Management System (BPMS), an ambitious effort that
will localize the MDGs at the grassroots where it really matters.
o LSR ORDINANCE IMPLEMENTATION. We will also prioritize the implementation
within the year of the landmark city ordinance on Local Sectoral Representation,
thereby ensuring greater representation of the basic sectors of society in the local
legislature.
o IMPROVED SERVICE QUALITY STANDARDS. Finally, we will build on the 3rd edition of
the Naga City Citizens Charter (which will be released within the quarter, pursuant
to the local mandate that it be updated every three years) by constantly reviewing
and monitoring our service standards and commitments, especially by frontline
agencies that regularly transact business with external customers at City Hall.
• And as we move forward to meet the challenges that 2009 and beyond will offer, let me
reassure you of our unwavering conviction: Like 2008, the year ahead may prove to be just
as difficult and fraught with uncertainties, or even more. But our track record as a “can-do”
city of “can-do” people should be able to see us through. And just like the challenges we
faced in the past, we will surely overcome.

Repost From Scc Bicol threAd..

LEGAZPI CITY, Jan. 19 (PNA) -- The problem on malnutrition continues to stalk children in Bicol, according to a Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) study.

The study revealed that Bicol is included in the regions with soaring incidence of malnutrition among children with ages ranging from 0 to 10 years old.

It indicated that on the prevalence of underweight among 0-5-year-old children, Bicol ranked 9th nationwide; ranked 13th among regions on the prevalence of stunted children (0-5 ages); ranked 10th among underweight school children and ranked 11th for stunted 6–10-year-old children.

Marilyn Valeza, nutrition officer of the National Nutrition Council (NNC) in Bicol, said the region has surpassed the FNRI national average on malnutrition incidence.

At a media forum held over the weekend, she said the regional resort of Operation Timbang in 2008 showed that among the six provinces in Bicol, Camarines Sur ranked 1st in the prevalence of underweight children with 25.4 percent, followed by Catanduanes (rank 2) with 23.48 percent; Masbate (rank 3) with 19.38; Albay (rank 4) with 19.36 percent, Sorsogon (rank 5) with 16.43 percent and Camarines Norte (rank 6) with 16.36 percent.

For the cities, Tabaco City topped all Bicol cities posting a 21.6 percent underweight children, followed by Masbate with 17.14 percent, Ligao, 17.12 percent, Legazpi – 13.60 percent, Sorsogon – 11.21, Iriga – 7.93 and Naga with only four percent malnourished children.

Valeza said the region's malnutrition rate among children for the past three years (2006-2008) has changed by an average of 1.89 percent with Albay having a 4.43 percent average change for the period, Camarines Norte with 8.24 percent, Camarines Sur with -0.49, Catanduanes with -3.28, Masbate -0.03 and Sorsogon with 0.10 percent.

On the national nutrition situation, the FNRI study in 2005 showed that 25 out of every 100 preschoolers are underweight, 26 out of every 100 are stunted and 5 out of 100 are wasted or thin.

Among school-age children or 6-10 years old, the study indicated that 25 out of every 100 children are underweight while 32 out of every 100 are stunted.

Valesa said malnutrition is a condition resulting from lack of intake of energy or protein or both, characterized by marked loss of weight and failure to grow.

Children afflicted with malnutrition are physically stunted and with poor mental development, high risk to infections, lower school performance, lower levels of productivity and in extreme cases, die.

The NNC is also closely checking the increasing trend of overweight among adults and children.

Valesa said overweight people increases the risk of diseases like hypertension, heart ailments, diabetes, and some forms of cancer.

She said her agency is focusing on programs that would eliminate nutritional problems such as protein-energy malnutrition, micro nutrient deficiencies, over nutrition and diet-related noncommunicable diseases.

Among the nutrition program to be implemented this year are: reducing disparities by prioritizing population groups and geographic areas, increase investments in interventions that could impact more significantly on under nutrition, revival, identification, and adoption of good practices and models and going to scale in the implementation of nutrition and related interventions to have wider coverage.

NAGA CITY – Funds amounting to P162 million were released to the office of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Region 5 for the reforestation project in Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and Albay.

The project is a six-year initiative within the context of the Bicol River Basin development strategy.

The project covers 38 municipalities and three cities with a total drainage or basin area of 317,389 hectares. Of this area, 267,424 hectares or 82 percent are alienable and disposable. Of the total river basin area, 49,705 hectares or 15.92 percent are public timberlands.

DENR sources said that within the river basin are eight watershed catchments. These are the Libmanan-Pulantuna, Naga-Yabo, Pawili River, Ragay Hills, Waras-Lalo, Naporog River, Tigman-Hinagyanan-Inarihan, and Quinali A. Wateshed.

The government’s reforestation program is composed of four components. These are institutional development (ID), flood and hazard mitigation (FHM), irrigation modernization, and watershed management and development (WMD).

The DENR will manage the WMD component, whose aim is to assist the local government units within the Bicol River basin to develop the productive potential of the timberlands and to protect the watersheds.

Under the program, 4,868 hectares of timberland are targeted for reforestation. It was reported, however, that 4,011 hectares or 76 percent of the targeted area had been planted to seven million seedlings of assorted indigenous species, including fruit tree seedlings and bamboo cultivars.

To ensure that the land to be reforested is fully planted to trees, the schedule for the first year of activities is devoted to the planting of seedlings, while the second and third years are set for maintenance and protection management.

The goal is to have at least 80 to 85 percent survival rate of the seedlings planted.

The activities under the program are upland reforestation, agro-forestry, and mangrove rehabilitation.

Some 650 hectares of already planted areas are now maintained and protected, DENR sources said.

On soil and water conservation work, it was reported that about 382 cubic meters of gabion check-dams had been constructed, 655 lineal meters of eco-blocks are now in place, and three units of small water-impounding system (SWIS) were constructed, and 32 kilometers river banks were planted to 12,800 bamboo cultivars..

It has richly contributed as well to the national heritage through Jose Ma. Panganiban and Tomas Arejola and 7 of the 15 Bikol Martyrs. On January 29, 1988, the National Historical Institute declared the Holy Rosary Seminary as a National Historical Landmark.

One of the leading maritime schools in the country, Mariners Polytechnic Colleges Foundation, has two campuses in Metro Naga, one along Panganiban Drive and another in Canaman, a suburban town.

Landco plans P200-M Pacific Mall Legazpi expansion

The Philippine STAR 03/18/2005

Landco Pacific is set to invest 200M for the expansion of its shopping mall development in Legazpi City this year.

Pacific Mall Legazpi will be expanded from 27,000 sq. m. to 38,000 sq. m. to accommodate more Metro Manila-based tenants and widen the mall’s entertainment and amusement area. The expansion will also cover the department store, which will add another floor to its existing three-storey area.

The expansion area will also house more micro-retail outlets or tiangge, a unique innovation introduced in the mall when it opened in 2002.

A joint venture between Landco and Metro Gaisano Mall of Cebu, Pacific Mall Legazpi is the only integrated shopping center of its size in the Bicol region. It welcomes 35,000 visitors a day from Legazpi City and nearby Sorsogon, Masbate, Naga and Catanduanes.

Located inside the Landco Business Park in downtown Legazpi, the mall is regarded as a complete one-stop destination with other complementary facilities provided by establishments within the business park.

The mall’s retail mix will also widen with new areas being opened up for lease. Major retail and dining outlets such as KFC, Pizza Hut, Shakey’s, Dunkin Donuts, Mister Donut, Baby Guess and Kids, Body Shop, Kamiseta, Odyssey and Smart Communications have expressed interest in setting up shop at the mall.

"This expansion will further fortify Landco’s leadership in the Bicol market. Legazpi has now become the hub of Bicol with Pacific Mall Legazpi as the magnet of the entire development," said Arlene Magtibay, Landco Vice President and SBU Head of Shopping Centers & Central Business Districts.

She also said that Landco, through its shopping mall project has contributed greatly to the region’s development and has helped turn around the lifestyles of many Legazpeños by introducing the mall concept.

Since its opening, Pacific Mall Legazpi has become a venue for the promotion of local products and entrepreneurship, thereby helping stimulate economic activity in the area. Through its incorporation of micro-retail stalls, local retailers find themselves thriving profitably side by side with major Metro Manila-based tenants.

Wooow...That was really an EXCELLENT information.. amazing NAGA BOY.

I just like to add, there is a CHICKEN BACOLOD in Barlin St., if i'm not mistaken it was franchise by the Enrile family?

I like to add to this trivia: :)
Naga has the largest UKAY UKAY store in the Bicol region:

5 Big Stores of ALI Ukay ukay ( main in 786 besides Baker's plaza , 2 former Blink store, Deep store at Nagaland fronting E-mall, and Panganiban Ave. beside RCPI )

6 Big Store of Jufran-Bagiuo base Ukay ukay (back of Mc Donalds, former Red Platers, Former PT & T fronting the plaza, Besides Bank of Makati, Prieto St., Back of Cheng's bakery and former PCI bank or fronting Uni-Top)

and countless Ukay ukay at the 2nd flr. Public market, at the back of UNC, back of Andoks store in E. Angeles st. and Barlin st corner Prieto st.

I'm still optimistic that this will not really affect the local garment market.:)

We have already torn down the wall and you may take SM City Naga pictures without obstructions. Tenants are already working for their stalls. Almost two thousand applications for locators were recieved and under review.

Sorry, I do not have any pictures.

Landco plans P200-M Pacific Mall Legazpi expansion

The Philippine STAR 03/18/2005

Landco Pacific is set to invest 200M for the expansion of its shopping mall development in Legazpi City this year.

Pacific Mall Legazpi will be expanded from 27,000 sq. m. to 38,000 sq. m. to accommodate more Metro Manila-based tenants and widen the mall’s entertainment and amusement area. The expansion will also cover the department store, which will add another floor to its existing three-storey area.

The expansion area will also house more micro-retail outlets or tiangge, a unique innovation introduced in the mall when it opened in 2002.

A joint venture between Landco and Metro Gaisano Mall of Cebu, Pacific Mall Legazpi is the only integrated shopping center of its size in the Bicol region. It welcomes 35,000 visitors a day from Legazpi City and nearby Sorsogon, Masbate, Naga and Catanduanes.

Located inside the Landco Business Park in downtown Legazpi, the mall is regarded as a complete one-stop destination with other complementary facilities provided by establishments within the business park.

The mall’s retail mix will also widen with new areas being opened up for lease. Major retail and dining outlets such as KFC, Pizza Hut, Shakey’s, Dunkin Donuts, Mister Donut, Baby Guess and Kids, Body Shop, Kamiseta, Odyssey and Smart Communications have expressed interest in setting up shop at the mall.

"This expansion will further fortify Landco’s leadership in the Bicol market. Legazpi has now become the hub of Bicol with Pacific Mall Legazpi as the magnet of the entire development," said Arlene Magtibay, Landco Vice President and SBU Head of Shopping Centers & Central Business Districts.

She also said that Landco, through its shopping mall project has contributed greatly to the region’s development and has helped turn around the lifestyles of many Legazpeños by introducing the mall concept.

Since its opening, Pacific Mall Legazpi has become a venue for the promotion of local products and entrepreneurship, thereby helping stimulate economic activity in the area. Through its incorporation of micro-retail stalls, local retailers find themselves thriving profitably side by side with major Metro Manila-based tenants.

"More than just a shopping mall, it is considered as an important hub and the most happening place for media events, cultural and social activities, and government-led programs and exhibits in the region," added Magtibay.

Aside from Legaspi City, other shopping mall developments of Landco include the NE Pacific Mall in Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija and Pacific Mall Lucena, Quezon.

Landco Pacific Corporation is a multi-product developer of premium residential resorts, leisure farms, first home residential developments, shopping centers and CBD’s and memorial parks. Now celebrating its 15th year milestone, the company continues to take lifestyles to the next level by developing innovative and original lifestyle concepts that revolutionize the way you live.

Sorry for the what?
This news is history because the expansion was finished two years ago. In fact, the added space is full.

Legazpi forumers are right. Let us stop comparing. Just state the facts.

I'm starting a Naga City trivia posts

Did you know that Naga City has the most number of banks in Bicol Region?

By the end of the year it would have six Banco de Oro branches from present four. Two new branches will open in SM City Naga and another in Panganiban Drive.

It also has four Metrobank branches, 2 Allied banks, and 3 BPI’s to mention some.

What is the exact number of banks do we have here in Naga, Naga boy?

Ahaha, so you didn't know that South Star drug is actually Bicol-based? I was only in grade four when I knew that. Hehehe!

Me, either... Kaya pala ang daming South Star Drug dito...:lol:

Yes Naga Boy, PM Legazpi had become too small for the kind of market that it is serving if you will see the volume of visitors that it has daily despite the fact that it has already expanded. I hope Landco will further expand the mall so it will be more convenient to the shoppers. If they don't watch out, they might just wake up one day and find out that SM is already breaking ground in Legazpi. I think when Landco decided to put up PM Legazpi they were just testing the waters in Bicol so what they originally put up was just a small one. But now they know that a mall is already very viable in Bicol.

Congratulation Naga for your SM City Naga. We can look forward to also have one in Legazpi in the not so distant future.

Kahit naman two floors lang eh okay na yung mall given that it's big. Tsaka kung three floors na baka wala nang mag-lease nung space sa third floor.
Yes, ground floor is usually included kaya baka three floors pa rin. Well, it remains to be seen.
I was in Naga yesterday and saw SM already taking shape. I was just wondering about the color.

You don't like the color?

Thatnks, garycooper! For sure you will have one! It expanded due to the fact that it's the administrative center of Bicol and most shoppers there are from other parts of the region. And thes could be one of the future reasons for building up one SM there.

Did you know that Naga City is the only city in the Bicol region with the highest number of restaurants, fast-food chains and food outlets may it be homegrown, national and international food chains?

It has;
9 branches of Biggs diner (4 stores are in Centro, 1 in Ateneo, in Bicol Medical Center, 1 in Panganiban Drive and 1 in CBD 2. The 9th branch will open at SM)
5 Graceland/Bakers Plaza and Graceland owned restaurants 2 in Centre 1 Geewan in Centro and Red Platter in Cerezza, in Magsaysay Ave,
4 Jollibee stores ( 1 in Centro, 1 in LCC, 1 in Panagniban Drive and 1 opening at SM City)
4 MacDonald’s (2 in Centro one outlet located at E mall and other one opening at SM City)
2 KFC’s (1 in Centro and another one opening at SM City)
2 Pizza Huts (Main Branch will re- open at SM and a small branch at the KFC building, its sister company, opening soon in Centro)
3 Chowking (one in LCC, one opening at Centro at the vacant lot near PNB used to be occupied by Graceland and another at SM City)
2 Shakey’s Restaurants (Avenue Square in Magsaysay Ave and another will n at SM)
2 Red Ribbon (Centro and SM)
2 Tokyo Tokyo (Westpark in Magsaysay Ave. and SM)
2 Greenwich (Centro and SM)
1. Bacolod Chicken Inasal (Cerezza, in Magsaysay Ave)
2 Max restaurants (Avenue Square in Magsaysay Ave and SM)
1 Little Asia (Avenue Square, Magsaysay)

3 International Coffee shops all in Magsaysay Ave.;
Mocha Blends (Australia) in Westpark;
Koppi Rotti (Singapore) in Cerezza,
TCB or The Coffee Beanery – Manila Based in Avenue Square.

Other popular restaurants set to open at SM: Racks, Teriyaki Boy, Kitaro, Mang Inasal, Goldilocks, Tapa King, Burgoo, Gerry’s Grill, Burger King, Starbucks, Pancake House, The Old Spaghetti House, The French Baker and Kenny Rogers to mention a few.

A total of 35 food outlets will open at the SM City- since the front side of the SM mall was re- designed with a canopy dubbed as SM Food strip. It will open even past midnight, and will likely rival the food strip of Magsaysay Avenue.

There are other local restaurants worth visiting like Gastoff, Maki Yaki, Triboo Grill, Lady Crab, Steak Ave, Chef Doy’s, Wok In, and Lolo’s Bar to mention a few.

This makes the city’s nightlife and entertainment unrivalled in the Bicol Region.

Thanks for this info!!! But how sure are you that Chowking will be occupying the vacant lot near PNB?

We have already torn down the wall and you may take SM City Naga pictures without obstructions. Tenants are already working for their stalls. Almost two thousand applications for locators were recieved and under review.

Bicol Gawad Saka achievers form group to promote agri productivity (http://positivenewsmedia.net/am2/publish/Cities_And_Towns_23/Bicol_Gawad_Saka_achievers_form_group_to_promote_agri_productivity.shtml)
Positive News Media (http://positivenewsmedia.net/am2/publish/Cities_And_Towns_23/Bicol_Gawad_Saka_achievers_form_group_to_promote_agri_productivity.shtml)
By Danny O. Calleja

SORSOGON CITY, Jan. 29 (PNA) –- For over 20 years since Gawad Saka Awards was launched, Bicol region has already produced 25 winners who are now an organized group of experts promoting government’s programs toward agricultural productivity.

Gawad Saka is an annual search for outstanding achievers in agriculture and fisheries who represent the various stakeholders of the community – farmers, fisher folks, farm communities, scientists and organizations, as well as DA and local government employees.

The project aims to give due recognition to individuals and institutions whose exemplary accomplishments in their respective field of endeavor and contribution to the country’s agricultural development are deemed worthy of emulation.

Last year, the region produced three winners-- Rosita Naje of Castilla, Sorsogon as the Outstanding Young Farmer, Juboken Agri-Enterprises Inc. of Camalig, Albay as the Outstanding Agri-Entrepreneur and the Camarines Norte Provincial Agricultural and Fishery Council (PAFC) as the Outstanding PAFC.

The group that calls itself Bicol National Gawad Saka Achievers (BNGSA) was formally organized recently at the Department of Agriculture (DA) regional office in Pili, Camarines Sur. It has embraced the role of assisting the government in its advocacy programs towards improved agricultural productivity in the region.

DA records show that Bicol has produced 25 winners of the Gawad Saka nationwide search since it was launched in the mid-1970s. The first ever Bicolano winner was rice farmer Ruperto Sabio of Magarao, Camarines Sur who is now a staunch advocate of organic farming.

Naje, 23 of Castilla, Sorsogon who was elected vice-president of the group, said here Tuesday the group would serve as DA’s pool of resource persons for the agency’s promotion of new farming and fisheries technologies towards greater agricultural production.

A graduate of Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Technology major in Animal Husbandry, Naje won the Gawad Saka award through her small entrepreneurship in agriculture involving a backyard poultry farm in Barangay Burabod, Castilla which she started in 2003, months after graduating from college.

Apart from her poultry farm, she also processes duck eggs bought from local raisers into salted eggs for the local market, raised pullets supplied to other poultry raisers in the neighborhood and planted vegetables, among other small agriculture-based ventures to obtain an aggregate yearly income of nearly P400,000.

The Naje Chicken Egg Layer Enterprise has been an accredited partner industry by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), making her a resource person and trainer of on-the-job trainees.

Her farm serves as a showcase to veterinary and agricultural technology students of Sorsogon State College - Castilla Campus and to various "lakbay-aral" groups. “Our achievements and agri-based undertakings would serve as show windows towards agricultural productivity which we hope will greatly help the region’s farming sector,” Naje said.

She said the BNGSA aims to share the expertise and experiences of its members to everyone in the Bicol region who want to increase their productivity in the line of farming using modern technologies and applying proper management.

Raul Careras of Panagan, Tigaon, Camarines Sur, an engineer by profession who bagged the Gawad Saka national award for sugarcane production in 1981 and currently Magsasaka Siyentista for Corn was elected president of the group, Naje said.

Other officers are Erlinda P. Rillo, former Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) senior researcher and 2007 Gawad Saka winner as Agricultural Scientist and Pro Patria Awardee as secretary; Joseph Lumibao of J. Emmanuel Pastries, also 2007’s Gawad Saka winner for Outstanding High Value Commercial Crops (HVCC) processor is the treasurer.

Jay Magana, Outstanding Young Farmer in 2004 and the country's representative to the Young Filipino Farmers Training Program in Japan is the auditor and Wilfredo Menor, outstanding fisher folk for fish capture category in 2002 is the group’s business manager.

The other national Gawad Saka awardess who attended the organizational meeting were Benjamin Dimaano, chairperson of Provincial Agricultural and Fisheries Council (PAFC) Camarines Norte, the 2008’s outstanding PAFC, Naje said.

Restituto Basquiñez, outstanding coconut farmer (2002); Wilfredo Menor outstanding fisher folk (fish culture category) 2002; Jimmy Cordero, representing MAFC Tigaon, outstanding MAFC (1981); Ulysses Salvino, outstanding Young Farmer (1983) and Godofredo Ditan representing PAFC Sorsogon, outstanding PAFC for three consecutive years.

Did you know that Naga City has the most number of school and universities in the Bicol region?

The Ateneo de Naga University is the only Jesuit-run university and is the only autonomous university in the Bicol region, accredited by PAASCU since 1979, making it one of the best universities in the region.

The Universidad de Santa Isabel is the oldest Normal School for girls in the Far East. It is a sectarian school run by the religious Daughters of Charity Sisters.

The University of Nueva Caceres is the region's largest university in terms of enrolment. It is also the very first university in Southern Luzon outside Manila.

The Philippine Women's University also has its branch in the city.

The University of the Philippines opened its Open University to cater to distant-education students.

The Bicol College of Arts and Trade, now Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges, has also a large student base in the city.

A university in the making is the Naga College Foundation. It is the leading Criminology school in the region.

The biggest secondary school in the region is also located in the city. Government-run Camarines Sur National High School has always registered over 10,000 enrollees every school year.

The oldest specialized live-in Christian higher educational institute for the clergy in the country is also found in Naga City. Established in the early part of the 18th century, the Holy Rosary Seminary (El Seminario del Santissimo Rosario), a Roman Catholic seminary run by the Archdiocese of Caceres, has produced 22 bishops, including the first Filipino bishop, Jorge Barlin, and the first Filipino Cardinal to work in the Roman Curia, Jose Cardinal Sanchez. It has richly contributed as well to the national heritage through Jose Ma. Panganiban and Tomas Arejola and 7 of the 15 Bikol Martyrs. On January 29, 1988, the National Historical Institute declared the Holy Rosary Seminary as a National Historical Landmark.

One of the leading maritime schools in the country, Mariners Polytechnic Colleges Foundation, has two campuses in Metro Naga, one along Panganiban Drive and another in Canaman, a suburban town.

The Naga Parochial School has a big number of alumni priests (63 as of 2007 with 3 bishops) in the city. This is an exclusive Catholic school for boys in the city and the first PAASCU-accredited parochial school in the Philippines.

The biggest group of Montessori schools in the Bicol region is also based in Naga City. Arborvitae Plains Montessori, Inc. (formerly Casa Dei Bambini Montessori), a Montessori school with eleven branches spread all over Camarines Sur, Bacolod, and Masbate, offers preschool (Early Childhood Education), elementary and secondary (Business High School) education according to the Montessori method modified for the Philippine curriculum.

There are currently 2 Filipino - Chinese schools there, Saint Joseph School (SJS) and Hope Christian School.

The Village Montessori in San Leandro St. is the only school in the Bicol Region that offers the real Montessori Method which follows the continuous progression curriculum of the American Montessori System.

Specialized computer schools are also found in the city due to popularity of computer.

AMA University has two branches in the city.

STI College also has a campus in the city.

Other specialized computer schools include Worldtech Resources Institute (WRI), Philippine Computer Foundation College (PCFC) and CCDI.

Together with four other Universities in Camarines Sur, University of Saint Anthony, University of North Eastern Philippines- both in Iriga City, Partido State University in Goa, Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) Cam Sur Campus in Ragay, and huge State Colleges like the Camarines Sur State Agricultural College in Pili, Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges in Nabua and The Philippine Science High School, Bicol Campus in Goa- make Naga City and Camarines Sur the Education Center in the Bicol Region.

Grabe ah, parang iloilo rin pala in the western visayas region.

Did you know that Naga City is the only city in the Bicol region with the highest number of restaurants, fast-food chains and food outlets may it be homegrown, national and international food chains?

It has;
9 branches of Biggs diner (4 stores are in Centro, 1 in Ateneo, in Bicol Medical Center, 1 in Panganiban Drive and 1 in CBD 2. The 9th branch will open at SM)
5 Graceland/Bakers Plaza and Graceland owned restaurants 2 in Centre 1 Geewan in Centro and Red Platter in Cerezza, in Magsaysay Ave,
4 Jollibee stores ( 1 in Centro, 1 in LCC, 1 in Panagniban Drive and 1 opening at SM City)

2 KFC’s (1 in Centro and another one opening at SM City)
2 Pizza Huts (Main Branch will re- open at SM and a small branch at the KFC building, its sister company, opening soon in Centro)

Other popular restaurants set to open at SM: Racks, Teriyaki Boy, Kitaro, Mang Inasal, Goldilocks, Tapa King, Burgoo, Gerry’s Grill, Burger King, Starbucks, Pancake House, The Old Spaghetti House, The French Baker and Kenny Rogers to mention a few.

A total of 35 food outlets will open at the SM City- since the front side of the SM mall was re- designed with a canopy dubbed as SM Food strip. It will open even past midnight, and will likely rival the food strip of Magsaysay Avenue.

There are other local restaurants worth visiting like Gastoff, Maki Yaki, Triboo Grill, Lady Crab, Steak Ave, Chef Doy’s, Wok In, and Lolo’s Bar to mention a few.

This makes the city’s nightlife and entertainment unrivalled in the Bicol Region.

Wow, buti pa ang Naga, may Mocha Blends, kami sa iloilo wala.

Anyhow, matagal na akong nag-lulurk sa thread na ito out of curiosity sa bicol and i must say im very impressed. Hindi pa ako nakapunta jan but i do have an idea now of how it is there in bicol or naga for that matter.

Its good the developments are flooding in there sa naga, kahit papano development is not centered in metro manila anymore. At least the provinces are now catching up, di na tayo mahuhuli.

I only wish that there would be trade too between the bicol region and the western visayas region, hindi lang puro manila. Im sure both regions can benefit from each other.

Way to go guys, more power to bicol and naga!

According to our source, there a two international schools in Naga City. Brentwood International School and the Village Montessori. Is it true?

Yes.

In addition to the trivia, there are two international schools in Naga City.

Brentwood International School in Blumentritt St., which follows an American Curriculum with school opening on fall (September) and spring (May semester). Offers complete Lower, Middle and Upper school BED.

The Village Montessori in San Leandro is a member of the American Montessori System and offers a continuous progression system.

Classes are according to age group. Students are taught in a feel good curriculum, no grades are given, no or minimal homework. No traditional textbooks. All materials are provided by the school and students goes to class with nothing in their school bag but spare clothes and toiletries.

Very small group per class. 10 students per class, per teacher, a teacher assistant. Meals are catered and provided by the school, so there’s an additional helper/assistant to assist the children for their basic needs. Mentor- student ratio 10:3.

The students are allowed lateral entry in other countries. Very elite, very upscale, very exclusive.

The reason for the merging is to give the lesser of the two provinces some prominence if you attach them with the more popular (in terms of posts) city-province pairing. We try not to have idle threads languishing because there is not enough traffic to fill them to the post limit. That's why the merging of threads is being done to keep the flow going. If you look around the forum there are numerous dual/multiple city-province threads. This is not an uncommon occurence and it makes the job for the mods to moderate and monitor the forum much easier; and for the reader, it gives them a "one-stop shop" place for information and resource gathering and exchange.

Robredo is a natural-born Filipino, can run for Senate (http://www.bicolmail.com/issue/2009/jan29/xborn.html)
By Jonas Cabiles Soltes

NAGA CITY — “My great-grandfather was a Filipino, my grandfather was a Filipino, my father is a holder of a Philippine passport, so I am a natural-born Filipino,” said Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo, reacting to election lawyer Romulo Macalintal, who said that Robredo cannot be one of the Liberal Party’s senatorial bets because he is a naturalized Filipino.

Earlier, Macalintal said that Robredo, while qualified to be a mayor, was not qualified to be a senator because he was not a natural-born Filipino.

“Macalintal could not say that I am a naturalized Filipino,” Robredo said, “because I never underwent naturalization proceedings, in the first place.”

Robredo, 50, is a Filipino as indicated in his passport, driver’s license, birth certificate and income tax returns. But the mayor has a Chinese father and a Filipino mother.

“Those who are questioning my citizenship are saying that I am not a Filipino because my grandfather and father did not elect Philippine citizenship,” he said.

Robredo’s citizenship has been questioned since his first foray into politics, becoming more intense during the 2004 and 2007 elections, when he fielded his lawyer wife to thwart his opponent’s move to disqualify him from the mayoralty race.

He said the citizenship issue was being brought to life because of his announcement that he was open to running for a senatorial seat in the coming 2010 elections.

“It’s no wonder because Macalintal is Gloria’s election lawyer,” Robredo said, “and he is uninformed of my citizenship issue.”

He said the Department of Justice and the Commission on Election (COMELEC), sitting en banc, already had ruled out that he is a natural-born Filipino.

He said the citizenship issue would not impede him in case he decides to seek a Senate seat in 2010. “Because I am a Filipino from the very start.”

In 2004, a disqualification case questioning Robredo’s citizenship was filed by mayoralty race challenger Jojo Villafuerte of the Kabalikat ng Mamamayang Pilipino (KAMPI), the party of the President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

According to Robredo, the case was then ignored because the majority of the commissioners of the Commission on Elections en banc favored him over the petitioner of the case.

In 2007, however, COMELEC’s first division subsequently issued a “quo warranto” order to Robredo, which reversed the earlier COMELEC en banc move. But his lawyers have asked for a reconsideration of the order.

“I want this citizenship issue to be put to end, not because of political reasons. Personally, I want this to end because it is taking a toll on the health of my father, who is in his 80s now,” said Robredo, adding that the fate of his citizenship, in reality, would depend on whoever is in Malacañang.

Robredo is currently a member of Kaya Natin!, a movement started in Ateneo de Manila University and composed of persons from different sectors calling for “genuine change and ethical leadership, and promoting transparency and social accountability.”

Other members include Governors Grace Padaca of Isabela, Ed Panlilio of Pampanga, and Teodoro Baguilat Jr. of Ifugao; and Mayor Sonia Lorenzo of San Isidro, Nueva Ecija.

Disqualification cases filed against sitting government officials because of citizenship issues, however, are not new.

Negros Oriental Rep. Jocelyn Limkaichong, who defeated former Negros Oriental Rep. Jacinto Paras’ wife Olivia in the 2007 elections, also faces situation similar to Robredo’s.

Opponents of Limkaichong are alleging that she is a Chinese that she cannot be a district representative.

Meanwhile, Robredo told Bicol Mail that no one from his immediate family would run for the city’s top post in 2010.

LRay opposes municipal ordinance in Caramoan (http://www.bicolmail.com/issue/2009/jan29/xlray.html)
By Jonas Cabiles Soltes

NAGA CITY- Camarines Sur Governor Luis Raymund Villafuerte disagreed with local officials in Caramoan town over the implementation of an environmental and admission fee ordinance, which according to the governor is not tourist-friendly.

In a radio interview at RMN-DWNX station in this city, Villafuerte said the municipal government hastily implemented the ordinance, which would collect P30 environmental and admission fee to domestic and foreign tourists.

He added that the Sangguniang Panlalawigan is yet to review the ordinance.

The implementation of the ordinance, according to him, is same as asking entrance fee from tourists. And exempting townsfolk from the ordinance is discriminatory.

“Our only purpose in coming up with the ordinance is for us to generate additional income which could help us deal with the environmental problems that may come with the tourist arrivals, such as dealing with garbage problem and other environmental damages,” said municipal councilor Romeo Marto, author of the ordinance.

He said their town is 98 percent dependent on internal revenue allotment from the national government that they had to find other ways to source out additional income.

“We patterned the ordinance after what has been implemented in Aklan province especially in Boracay Island. In Boracay Island, they collect environmental and admission fee which is P50, while in our town, we decided to collect only P30. I don’t know why this kind of ordinance, which has been implemented easily in other local government units, is being viewed negatively,” he added.

He said the ordinance was submitted to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan on November 7, 2008, and was published on this paper on December 4.

But provincial board member Emmanuel Llaguno has told him that the ordinance is yet to reach the committee level of the provincial board.

“More than 30 days has passed that is why we have implemented the ordinance without a go signal from the provincial board.”

He said they studied thoroughly the provisions of the ordinance although he admitted that the ordinance was enforced before implementing rules and regulations could be created.

“This ordinance does not ask for something like an entrance fee,” he said further.

Caramoan town officials already had a discussion with the governor at the provincial capitol on Monday, January 26, in regard to the ordinance.

According to the councilor, the governor said during the meeting that he (the governor) was not against the move to source out additional revenue through income-generating ordinances.

But the governor wanted the admission fee provision to be removed or temporarily suspended because it could have a negative impact to tourists.

“It appears, however, that the governor wanted the suspension of all the provisions of the ordinance.”

He said the town council is taking into account the governor’s decision to review the provisions of the environmental and admission fee ordinance.

“Considering that he is the one at the forefront of the developments in Caramoan. Some of the provisions of the ordinance could be amended but the ordinance would not be scrapped.”

He also confirmed that the municipal government is not receiving anything from the revenue generated by the tourism industry in Caramoan.

“According to the law, our town should receive 40 percent of the total income. But the governor had requested us to give the provincial government due time to recover the cost of developing the tourist attractions in Caramoan before part of the income from tourism could be shared to the municipal government.”

Naga hosts national student press gab (www.naga.gov.ph)

HISTORICAL LANDMARKS IN NAGA CITY (www.naga.gov.ph)

1. The Naga City Police Station at Barlin Street

Site of the Cuartel General of the Guardia Civil in Camarines. It was constructed of granite blocks and wood in 1870, shortly after the Guardia Civil succeeded the Carabinera de Seguridad Publica in 1863.

During the mass arrests in September 1896, Florencio Lerma (who was also held in the Casino Español); Cornelio Mercado; Don Tomas Prieto, alcalde of Nueva Caceres; and Macatio Valentin were brought to and tortured in the cuartel by Civil Guards under the direction of Captain Francisco Andreu, chief of the Guardia Civil in Ambos Camarines, and Don Ricardo Lacosta, Spanish civil governor of the province. The horrific torture wrenched the first of two legally infirm confessions from the frail pharmacist Prieto which the authorities used as basis for the arrest, torture and prosecution of scores of Filipinos in the province, some of whom were also subsequently forced to sign fabricated confessions under extreme duress.

Around midnight of 18 September 1898, two European Guards, a responding Spanish voluntario, Captain Andreu, his wife and children died in the cuartel when Filipino Civil Guard corporals Elias Angeles and Felix Plazo led an uprising of Bicolano and Tagalog Guards in Nueva Caceres. The action resulted in the formal surrender of the Spanish colonial government in Camarines, after more bloodshed, to the Filipino forces on 19 September 1898. Ciudad de Nueva Caceres and the province of Ambos Camarines thus became the first in the Bicol Region to be liberated by arms after three centuries and before the arrival of General Emilio Aguinaldo’s republican army in the city.

On 1 September 1901, following the organization by Captain Edward S. Luthi of a Philippine Constabulary Detachment in Ambos Camarines, the cuartel became the PC provincial headquarters. The occupancy by the Constabulary was interrupted by World War II, but the Constabulary soon returned after the war that saw Naga liberated from the Japanese Occupation forces on 13 April 1945 by guerrillas of Camarines Sur before American forces got to Naga, at that time the capital town of the province.

On 30 March 1978 the century-old building, which was by then the headquarters of the defunct Philippine Constabulary-Integrated National Police (PC-INP) in Camarines Sur. was totally razed by fire caused by faulty electrical wiring.

2. Site of the Casa Tribunal at Elias Angeles Street

Until 1839, the Casa Tribunal or “common house” at this site stood on grounds prone to flooding because of the Naga River that ran just behind the building. The river until that time veered rightwards just after the San Francisco Church, followed a course that is now roughly P. Burgos Street, then snaked left and ran roughly parallel to Elias Angeles Street until the river swerved eastward at the western end of Dinaga Street and continued into its present course.

Following Alcalde Mayor Manuel Esquivel y Castañeda’s project which rechanneled the twisting river into its present course and reclaimed the low-lying area from Padre Burgos and Dinaga, an improved, beautiful Casa Tribunal which provided free rooms to travelers stood on less soggy grounds in 1887. The Becerra Law of 12 November 1889 gave Nueva Caceres and six other principal towns in the Philippines the authority to organize their ayuntamiento similar to those in municipalities in Spain. The ayuntamiento in Nueva Caceres transacted official business in the Casa Tribunal. On 19 May 1893, the Maura Law changed the name Tribunal del Pueblo to Tribunal Municipio, and in Nueva Caceres people began to refer to the elegant ayuntamiento edifice of bricks and wood at the site as the municipio.

During the American colonial regime and the Commonwealth period, the building became the Municipal Presidencia. Destroyed by American bombs in World War II, it could not be immediately rebuilt as the city hall of the new city government of Naga due to a technicality. It was eventually rebuilt as a smaller wooden building that became the city police headquarters. After the century-old Spanish cuartel being used by the PC-INP burned down in 1978, the city government constructed a new building at the cuartel site which housed the Naga City Police Department. The former police headquarter building on this site became the Naga City Library until the latter’s transfer to its new, modern building in the City Hall complex.

3. Site of the Casino Español, corner Elias Angeles and Arana Streets

On this site stood the Casino Español, a spacious building of piedra china and wood that served as the social and recreational center of the male Spanish population of Nueva Caceres and neighboring towns.

Following the discovery of the Katipunan in Manila in August 1896, the Spaniards in Nueva Caceres organized themselves into homeguards and called their group the Cuerpo de Voluntarios. Patterning themselves after the Cuerpo Casino Español in Manila, the local volunarios made the Casino Español their headquarters.

When Civil Governor Ricardo Lacosta ordered to mass arrest all over Camarines starting in September 1896, the Casino Español became one of several holding areas for harsh interrogation and violent torture. Among those taken to the Casino were Antonio Arejola, Camilo Jacob (from the infirmary of the San Francisco Church), Florencio Lerma (who was subsequently transferred to the nearby Cuartel General of the Guardia Civil), Macario Melgarejo, Mariano Ordenanza and Manuel Pastor, and from Daet, Roman Cabesudo, Ponciano Caminar, Diego Liñan, Valentin Lipana, Gregorio Luyon, Adriano Pajarillo, and Pedro Zenarosa. Many arrests were made on mere denunciation by Spaniards in meetings in the Casino.

Two years after, in 1898, enraged Nagueños violently trashed the clubhouse during the bloody uprising led by Elias Angeles and Felix Plazo.

During the American regime, the building was acquired by pharmacist Julian de las Herras. American bombs destroyed it in World War II.

4. Site of the Casa Real at General Luna Street

By 1588, the Casa Real stood at this site. It was made of light indigenous materials and was the residence of the Alcaldo Mayor of Caceres who had jurisdiction over the entire Bicol Peninsula and Catanduanes. The building faced the Naga River which followed a course much nearer to it and remained so for two-and-a-half centuries.

In 1655, the Casa Real was of bricks and lime. The Alcalde Mayor still resided in the building. His jurisdiction had been delimited for more effective control to the geographical area roughly corresponding to present-day Camarines Sur. But because Nueva Caceres was the capital of the province (which at various periods included Camarines Norte) the Alcalde Mayor or Civil Governor also thereby exercised administrative control over the Spanish city which included the pre-Hispanic native villages of Naga, Tabuco, Camaligan and Canaman.

By 1792, in the site which was still vulnerable to sudden flooding from the wayward Naga River and to fire from the flimsy native houses crowded around the edifice, the Casa Real had been constructed with more durable stone materials. After the river’s course was straightened and the area up to the present Plaza Rizal cleared of homes and elevated with earthfill by 1839, the Spanish civil government as well as church authorities undertook a spate of public works projects. One of these was a new government building that, by 1887, had replaced the nearly century-old Casa Real. By then it was more popularly referred to as Casa de Gobierno. To the south side of the new government house was the civil governor’s residence, the lot and building of which were later acquired by an American, Judge Robert Manley, during the Commonwealth period.

Slightly damaged like other Spanish-vintage buildings in the 1898 uprising by Filipinos in Nueva Caceres, the Casa de Gobierno was enlarged and remodeled under the American colonial regime following the cessation of the Filipino-American War in Camarines Sur in the early 1900s. This was the same architectural icon that the invading Japanese Army took over in 1942 and which an all-Filipino guerrilla force in Camarines Sur wrested back, for the second time in World War II, from the Imperial Army of Nippon on 13 April 1945 before American soldiers arrived. Damaged by American bombing raids, the edifice was reconstructed under the new Philippine Government and remained the provincial capitol building of Camarines Sur until a fire destroyed it on 26 June 1976.

5. Calle Via Gainza (Peñafrancia Avenue)

Peñafrancia Avenue was first known as Via Gainza in honor of Bishop Francisco Gainza, O.P. (1863-1879), the 25th and considered by many to have been the greatest Spanish bishop of the See of Caceres.

Until around the second quarter of the 19th century, the thoroughfare was an unpaved road that stretched from the Peñafrancia Shrine in the present Barangay Peñafrancia to the San Francisco Church in front of what is now the Plaza de Quince Martires. Under his prelacy, Gainza widened and paved the road with stones and extended it to its present junction with the western end of Panganiban Drive that was then known as Calle Legaspi. Bishop Gainza’s design had the paved road with two outer lanes for opposing vehicular traffic and a middle lane for pedestrians.

Francisco Caracciolo Urreta Vizcaya de Gainza was born on 3 June 1818 in the city of Calahorra, province of Logroño, Spain. He joined the Dominican Order in 1833 and arrived on assignment to the Philippines in 1846. From a professorial chair in the University of Santo Tomas, he went on to hold various positions and assignments in and outside the country.

A month after he was consecrated bishop of Caceres at the Santo Domingo Church in Manila, he assumed his office in Nueva Caceres, on 19 March 1863. His episcopal rule saw the improvement of the Metropolitan Cathedral along with various churches in his See that at the time encompassed the Bicol Region and the eastern seaboard of Luzon up to Palanan, Isabela. He gave immediate, particular emphasis to the reconstruction and beautification of the Peñafrancia Shrine. A born linguist, he wrote the definitive history of the Patroness in the Bicol language in 1866. On that same year, he delivered his sermon in Bicol. An academic as much as a missionary, he had Fray Marcos Lisboa’s Vocabulario de la Lengua Bicol, long out of print since 1754, reprinted in 1865. The tome had been his basis for his study of the language

As Delegate of the Pope, a position he held concurrently as bishop of Caceres, he spoke out openly and joined the archbishop of Manila and the bishop of Cebu in refusing to defrock Fathers Burgos, Gomez and Zamora as formally requested by the Soanish government in the Philippines.

As an educator he reorganized the curriculum of what is now the Holy Rosary Minor Seminary and turned it into the premier educational institution in Southern Luzon that produced priests and bishops and lay Bicolano and Tagalog professionals up to the early part of the 20h century. His most visible legacy is the present Universidad de Santa Isabel which he established first as a primary school for girls in 1868, then as the first Normal College for women in the Philippines, called the Escuela Superior, in 1875.

On the same year that he opened the Escual Superior, he organized and successfully held in Nueva Caceres the first agricultural and industrial exposition ever in the Bicol Region. On a more lasting note, he extended the novenary in the Metropolitan Cathedral to Saturday, a practice observed to this day and opened with the annual traslaciom of the Lady of Peñafrancia down the length of Peñafrancia Avenue that once was named Via Gainza in his honor and memory. In the 1920s Via Gainza was shortened to that stretch up to Paz Street only; from Paz Street southward, it became Mabini Street.

6. Calle Real (Elias Angeles Street)

Calle Real was one of the earliest streets in Spanish Nueva Caceres. It was laid out at about the time that the Castilian settlement was established as a city towards the close of the 1500s.

Originally, Calle Real ran in a northwesterly direction. From the eastern end of present-day Caceres Street (originally Calle Padian) it skirted the western bank of the original course of the Naga River at the central downtown area. It ended just beyond the Casa Real, and was connected by an unpaved road (in the area of P. Burgos Street now) along the northern side of the same river to the San Francisco Church in the east.

By the first half of the 19h century, Calle Real had been reoriented and lengthened in a more northerly direction that it retains to the present. With the transfer and construction of the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Seminario Conciliar and the bishop’s palace at their present site in the 1820s, the Ciudad’s central area enlarged with the rechanneling of the Naga River two decades later and the Colegio de Santa Isabel built afterwards, the paved Calle Real provided a wide and impressive avenue to which the road from Magarao, then called Camino para Nueva Caceres, linked up through the street that by 1899 would be called Bagumbayan.

Calle Real figured as a historic backdrop to events of September 1898, not the least having been the establishment of the Revolutionary Filipino Government of Camarines headed by Elias Angeles in the Colegio which faces the same street that witnessed the early shedding of Castilian blood and on which a delegation of Spaniards less than twenty-fours later walked to formalize the capitulation and end of Spanish colonial rule in the province.

On 15 January 1929, the Municipal Council of Naga (the name which had replaced Nueva Caceres) unanimously passed a resolution asking the American Governor-General of the Philippines for authorization to conduct a drive for public voluntary contributions to fund the construction of a monument to Elias Angeles. Twenty-nine years later, in 1958, the proposal remained unacted. In the meantime, Calle Real had been renamed Calle Elias Angeles.

7. Calle de Legaspi (Western portion of Panganiban Drive)

Until the 1830s, this street did not exist. It was part of the marshy land of the pre-Hispanic village of Naga then bordered by the eastern bank of the Naga River. The river at that time followed a course that ran roughly parallel to the present-day Elias Street, from what is now P. Burgos Street, to the western end of Dinaga Street

By 1839 when the river had been straightened to its present course and the swampy land all the way to Dinaga had been filled up, a rudimentary road from the side of the ayuntamiento building known as the Municipio appeared. It served as a short cut from Calle Real to the new western bank of Rio Naga. A light bridge of wooden planks and bamboo railings provided the first direct link to the other side of the river, to the Camino Real that led to Pili and points beyond. Around 1850, a solidly constructed bridge replaced the wooden span. It eliminated the need for heavy, wheeled vehicles to take the roundabout way via Tabuco to reach the Camino Real in the Pueblo of Naga. Vehicular traffic through the short cut increased and it gained importance as a commercial artery. When the authorities during the second half of the 19th century began to improve roads and name them after illustrious Spaniards, the once lowly footpath became Calle de Legaspi.

8. Puente de Naga (Lt. Delfin Rosales Bridge)

Before Alcalde Mayor Manuel Esquivel undertook his reclamation project, the area bisected by the Rio Naga east of Calle Real was part of the Pueblo of Naga. At that time Naga was accessed from the Ciudad de Nueva Caceres by a bridge of wooden slabs at the river’s original bend south of the San Francisco Church. This bridge led to a road that is now approximately Balintawak Street and ran in a north to southwest direction to the Pueblo de Tabuco. Perpendicular to the road in Naga was the Camino Real going to Pili.

Following the completion of Esquivel’s project around 1839, the Camino Real was extended to the new eastern bank of Rio Naga while a road was laid out on the opposite side that became Calle de Legaspi. With the appropriation of government funds in 1844 for the construction of a sturdier link between the two points, the existing light bridge was replaced with a massively designed one of concrete in 1847. The bridge was named Puente de Naga, and until the early parts of the 1900s people referred to it by that name. In the 1920s the bridge was renamed in honor of Bicolano Jose Maria Panganiban, a leading light in the Propaganda Movement.

Following its passage by the Sangguniang Panlungsod on 18 October 1989, Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo approved the ordinance that changed the name of the bridge to honor the memory of Lt. Delfin C. Rosales who sustained mortal wounds from enemy fire while rescuing a fallen guerrilla soldier on the bridge during one of the most significant events of the city’s history in the 20th century—the Battle for Naga in April 1945.

9. Site of the House of Bicolano Martyr Tomas Prieto (Corner Panganiban Drive and Peñafrancia Avenue)

Around half a century after the reclamation of this land area bounded by the present Naga River on the east, P. Burgos Street on the north, and Elias Angeles Street on the west all the way down Dinaga to the river boundary with Tabuco on the south, Don Tomas Prieto acquired a residential lot on which he built a large house on this site. He allowed a poor Chinese to use a portion of the ground floor while he himself put up his pharmacy store that opened to present-day Peñafrancia Avenue and Panganiban Drive. His botica soon became a favorite meeting place for resident and visiting ilustrados. Gifted with a photographic memory, he entertained his friends and guests who included a Freemason and fellow pharmacist from Cavite, Victoriano Luciano, with verbatim recitations of passages and even chapters of politically banned publications, including Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. Luciano was likewise executed by the Spaniards in 1896.

Born on 18 September 1867, Tomas Prieto was the youngest of six children of Dee Se Co, a Chinese from Amoy, China, who took the name Marcos Prieto upon his baptism, and Juana Antonio, a resident native of Nueva Caceres. He spent his early years in the family house which was then at Calle Padian in what is now a part of the Naga City public market. Following his studies in the Seminario Conciliar de Nueva Caceres, he went to the University of Santo Tomas in Manila where he earned a Bachiller en Artes degree. He took up further studies in pharmacy and passed the examinations with the highest grades (sobresalientes) in 1888.

Returning to Nueva Caceres, he put up the first and only botica in the province at that time. He had an inclination for politics and by 1895 he was alcalde (equivalent to mayor) of Nueva Caceres. He still held the position when Spanish voluntarios from the Casino Español arrested him in his fairly new residence late in the evening of 16 September 1896 following an incriminatory confession by Vicente Lukban to the authorities in Manila.

Pronounced guilty by a Spanish military tribunal of the trumped-up charge of rebellion as defined in Articles 229, 230 and 232 of the Codigo Penal para Filipinas, he was executed by firing squad at 7:00 o’clock in the morning of 4 January 1897 at Bagumbayan Field in Manila together with his elder brother, Rev. Fr. Gabriel Prieto, and nine others from Nueva Caceres, namely, Rev. Fr. Severino Diaz, Rev. Fr. Inocencio Herrera, Manuel Abella, Domingo Abella, Camilo Jacob, Florencio Lerma, Mariano Melgarejo, Cornelio Mercado, and Macario Valentin. On 11 November 1896, nearly two months before the trial took place, Don Tomas Prieto’s house on this site and the properties of others arrested and executed with him were confiscated by the government on grounds of rebellion and disloyalty. Don Tomas left behind him his wife, Filomena Pasion, a niece of Mariano Arana, another martyred Bicolano from Nueva Caceres, and four young children. He was twenty-nine years old.

10. San Francisco Church

The church and parish of San Francisco antedated the erection of the Diocese of Caceres in 1595 by nearly two decades.

Originally of bamboo and other light materials, the church was built in this present site on a north-south orientation. Its puerta mayor faced its parish, the pre-colonial pueblo of Naga which lay across the Naga River that at that time curved from its southerly course to a westerly direction before winding southward again alongside present-day Elias Angeles Street.

By the middle of the 17th century, a church of bricks and lime had been constructed. Nearly two centuries later, San Francisco lost a portion of its parish when the river, straightened to its present course to mitigate flooding in Nueva Caceres, established the new boundary between native Naga and the Ciudad de Españoles. The two were connected about a decade afterwards by the new Puente de Naga, but the new boundary later precipitated an ecclesiastical controversy that contributed to the death of Fr. Gabril Prieto and Fr. Severino Diaz.

In the mass arrests of September 1896, the infirmary and basement of the San Francisco parish house were used for the interrogation and torture of some of those arrested from Nueva Caceres to as far as Libmanan. Among the detainees were Mateo Antero, Leon Hernandez (who was transferred to the provincial jail where he died from more torture), Camilo Jacob (transferred to the Casino Español), Eugenio Ocampo, Severo Patrocinio, Pablo Perpetua (later also taken to the provincial jail), Celedonio Reyes, Juan Razonable, and Vicente Ursua.

The infirmary, convento, and the church itself became the refuge of some 500 men, women and children when the Filipino Guardia Civil contingent led by corporals Elias Angeles and Felix Plazo rose up in arms against the colonial government towards midnight of 18 September 1896. Following another attack by the Angeles-Plazo forces the next day, Civil Governor sent a letter from San Francisco offering to surrender the Province of Ambos Camarines to the Filipinos. In the afternoon of 19 September, a delegation of Spaniards signed the protocol of surrender in the Colegio de Santa Isabel, which became the seat of the new Filipino government of the province formed by Elias Angeles that same day.

Reduced to rubble by the heavy bombing of Naga in World War II, the church remained in ruins until the present new edifice was constructed.

Could you have a more interesting thread opener. Parang nawarak ang Naga Thread because of the merging, which I understand. I just thought that the merging should have been announced before the previous thread was locked so the Naga forumers could have opened this thread more pleasantly. I am not against the merging. it's just that given that this thread consists of a chartered city and two provinces, I thought that the starter should have been more flattering.

Thanks for visiting our thread, tonight!!!

The reason for the merging is to give the lesser of the two provinces some prominence if you attach them with the more popular (in terms of posts) city-province pairing. We try not to have idle threads languishing because there is not enough traffic to fill them to the post limit. That's why the merging of threads is being done to keep the flow going. If you look around the forum there are numerous dual/multiple city-province threads. This is not an uncommon occurence and it makes the job for the mods to moderate and monitor the forum much easier; and for the reader, it gives them a "one-stop shop" place for information and resource gathering and exchange.

it makes more sense if it is naga city and camarines sur together if you are merging the forum..camarines norte is a different province. just like sorsogon and albay.. your statement also said that it will be much easier for the moderators to moderate and monitor the forum, so it means that it is for mods convenience not the forumers..

Apparently you didn't understand the concept of attaching a less prominent province to a more prominent one for the sake of forum flow; like what I mentioned earlier, we're streamlining the forum and making the threads a "one-stop shop" for discussions and information interchange. They may be two separate provinces now, but historically, they were once one whole province. And how hard is it gonna be for you? You're just posting stuff anyway, hardly takes a genius to handle that.

This thread isn't the only one featuring dual provinces; here are links to others here on SSC-Philippines:

Butuan City, and Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur Provinces (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=796500)

Tagum City, and Davao del Norte and Compostela Valley Provinces (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=709618)


And here are threads that feature multiple provinces:

Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi Provinces (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=635960)


So I strongly suggest you quit thinking and treating this as an "Us and Them" issue, because in the final analysis, you're no different from the ordinary person in the neighboring province.

This is just the start... hehehe actually PM was the start, it opened the eyes of the Manila based investors that a big mall in bicol is finally feasible. So Rejoice!

I think hindi pwede Bicol Peninsula because that would include Albay and Sorsogon, which are also parts of the Bicol Peninsula. What about Ambos Camarines? It used to be the one name of the "Camarineses".

i prefer Naga City & Camarines Provinces just to make it simple and easy, beside it'z the right way naman..!! making it a long title like this is annoying although not so bad in fairness to that dude, saken lang kasi parang he made this, not for our behalf ..!! not sure what's on his mind?

NAGA CITY --- More than 4,000 elementary and secondary campus writers, public and private school officials and personnel of the Department of Education (DepEd) coming from the country?s 17 regions will converge here on February 15 for a weeklong National Schools Press Conference.
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, will grace the conference which bears the theme ?Climate Change: A Call for Responsible Journalism,? which is aimed at promoting awareness and understanding of climate change through varied journalistic approaches.

Based on the memorandum issued by DepEd Secretary Jesli Lapus, the Conference?s participants are campus journalists and school paper advisers.
The conference?s program package includes journalism trainings and contests in different categories.

?It is also aimed at enhancing journalistic competencies through friendly individual and group competitions,? she said.
With the appropriate working committees in place, Tuy said they are confident that the activity will be carried out as planned with the full backing of the parallel working committees formed by the Naga City Government under the leadership of Mayor Jesse M. Robredo.
She said the two groups of committees are jointly identifying frontline concerns which include transportation, hotel billeting and catering services, tours, peace, security and order.
Emergency response teams are likewise mapping out plans to carryout their action plans in case of emergencies.

Wow! I didn't think this year's NSPC will be that grand! Sosyal si PGMA ang keynote speaker. I was at the 2006, 2007, and 2008 editions, and too bad, we didn't make it to the nationals this year. Hay kairita. Ang mayor's night sa hotel? Huwaw, last year, I can't even remember attending the Koronadal City Mayor's Night kasi hay ewan ang lalayo ng mga billeting centers. Sayang walang malaking venue for the opening rites, mas madami kasi ngayon kasali given the seven-member broadcasting group from each region, elementary and secondary. Hay, ang irony kung kelan dito gagawin sa Bicol ang NSPC wala kaming delegate. Next year na lang, I heard Dumaguete City will be hosting it. Hope we make it through the regionals.

"In Honor of Former Senator Raul Roco, One of the Best Presidents we never had...."

Mr.olineil tanung ko lang po bilang isa rin po ako sa humahanga kay
Former Senator Raul Roco. sa tingin nyo po si Mayor jesse robredo na ba ang susunod sa yapak ni Former Senator roco?kasi db my balita na mag sesenador si robredo.at sa tingin ko kasi po kakayanin din ni mayor robredo ang nagawa ng senator roco..kong halimbawa maging senador na sya..

Hmmm... let me start by saying I don't have a doubt about Mayor Robredos caliber as a good and honest politician. He has what it takes to become a senator and if you ask me it will be a glorious day to see him there as one of the seating senators. But I have a doubt in our system of electing senators. Not like here in the states or other countries, a senator is elected on the state level so that means they don't have to campaign nationally to win a senatorial election. Put it in our situation, we should have a so called "Regional senator" to represent the bicol region in the Senate. Unfortunately, this is not the case as I have mentioned earlier. With the state of our national politics is right now, it will be a very huge feat for a little unknown mayor to jump to that political position. Although he has backers and political friends, he is only known in and around that political circle. Unfortunately again, our election system is based on popular vote and not electoral vote that is due to a state. So you have to be in the national limelight most of the time in order to get recognition (thats why ang lakas ng loog ng mga artista tumakbo sa national politics dahil sikat na sila). Why do you think there is alot of senate investigations right now? Media frenzy kasi malapit na election.

So to sum it up... from Mayor to Senator will be tough but doable. This may also be the chance for corruption to creep in since you need bayong-bayong of money to run for national office. Dito papasok yung "utang na loob" mentality ng pinoy especially pagnanalo yung sinuportahan mo to the senate financially. My best bet is, he should run for congress. This way local cam sur peeps will vote for him and the likelyhood of getting that seat will be close to 100%. After he wins this seat... he should start authoring excellent bills that grabs national attention (should be in a positive way) and slowly invade the national politics through deeds of commendable governance. My 2 cents... Thank you.

I think hindi pwede Bicol Peninsula because that would include Albay and Sorsogon, which are also parts of the Bicol Peninsula. What about Ambos Camarines? It used to be the one name of the "Camarineses".

Correct.. Bicol Peninsula consist of the 6 provinces and even during the Spanish period some parts of the southern tagalog is consider Bicol Peninsula.

As well as Ambos Camarines underwent a series of confusing geo-political division, fusion, re-division, and re-fusion, until in 1919 when the first Philippine Legislature finally separated Norte and Sur into two provinces. which include as far as Camalig, Albay.

DA eyes development of Bicol pili industry (http://positivenewsmedia.net/am2/publish/Business_19/DA_eyes_development_of_Bicol_pili_industry.shtml)
Positive News Media (http://positivenewsmedia.net/am2/publish/Business_19/DA_eyes_development_of_Bicol_pili_industry.shtml)
By Danny O. Calleja

SORSOGON CITY, Feb. 7 (PNA) –- The Department of Agriculture (DA) is considering Bicol’s pili industry as an effective tool towards food security, poverty alleviation and environmental protection.

In the DA’s Pili Regional Development Program (PRDP) presented Wednesday to the Regional Development Council (RDC) for funding by the national government, Jose Dayao, DA’s regional executive director said, an amount of over P211 million is required by its implementation.

The program will involve a massive growing of recommended pili varieties using appropriate cultural management practices. “This way, the industry would be contributing significantly to the government’s reforestation efforts of watershed and steep slope areas of the region,” Dayao said.

The DA intends to develop sources of quality planting materials through the establishment of provincial or municipal nurseries and pili foundation scion groves, he said.

“We are coming up with 24,000 planting materials through the foundation groves, gene banks and satellite nurseries that we are establishing in selected areas across the region. This way, we would be able to develop an initial 700-hectare pili plantation,” Dayao said.

Under the program, Dayao said, DA will showcase production and processing technology through model farms to be put up at the local level particularly within the region’s Strategic Agricultural and Fisheries Development Zone (SAFDZ).The program had identified some areas within the SAFDZ as the Bicol Pilinut Convergence Zone (BPCZ) composed of 25 towns and four cities covered by the provinces of Sorsogon, Albay and Camarines Sur.

In Sorsogon, the towns placed under BPCZ are Casiguran, Juban, Barcelona, Bulusan, Irosin and Gubat that cover all flood and landslide prone barangays around the slopes of Mt. Bulusan. In Albay, BPCZ covers areas near the foot of Mt. Mayon like Camalig, Guinobatan, Malilipot, Sto. Domingo and the cities of Ligao and Tabaco. The flood and landslide threatened towns of Oas, Libon and Pioduran of the same province were also included.

In Camarines Sur, the areas within the BPCZ are Goa, Tigaon, Ocampo, Sangay and the cities of Iriga and Naga, all surrounding Mt. Isarog and Lagonoy, Minalabac, Milaor, Nabua, Bula, San Fernando and Pasacao that sit within a vast wetland covered by the Bicol River Basin.

Dayao said of the P211.5 million required by the PRDP, P152.3 million would be used as production, post-harvest and infrastructure support. This amount will be loaned out to farmers. The rest of the money is intended to research, promotion and market development, he said.

The research, promotion and development aspects of the program would involve production of quality products with vast market potentials, establishment of strong marketing linkages between users and producers and improvement of packaging of pili products and by-products.

It would also involve the adoption of package of pili technologies from the present level of 30 percent to 90 percent, organization and strengthening of pili producers and nut processors into cooperatives and enhance the capabilities of local government units in developing production, production and post-harvest experts, Dayao said.

Albay Governor and RDC chair Joey Salceda said PRDP was among the P5-billion Bicol development projects endorsed for immediate funding to Malacañang during the first full meeting of the council this year held Wednesday at the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) regional office here.

This P5-billion regional development projects would serve as social protection to cushion Bicol from the impact of the global financial crisis. “This is part of the government stimulus in response to the economic slump,” Salceda said.

The government’s social protection program in relation to the crisis situation should stimulate public spending principally directed towards the poor. He said, “we give money to the poor and they will spend it at once and that is this stimulus is all about. But if we give the money to the rich, they will save it for themselves defeating the purpose.” (PNA)

It's good that it will be pushed through. It's been a decade already since the beginning of its construction and finally clear actions will be done. I want to see it fully-operational by next year. And probably by that time CBD will be more vibrant due to SM's opening this year... More concerts, more conventions, and more events will be held if that finally gets built.

i did'nt know that Iriga City look like these ..!!

It's look progressive and their Public market was awesome parang opisina or bank lang sya hehehhe

:banana::banana::banana:

It's good that it will be pushed through. It's been a decade already since the beginning of its construction and finally clear actions will be done. I want to see it fully-operational by next year. And probably by that time CBD will be more vibrant due to SM's opening this year... More concerts, more conventions, and more events will be held if that finally gets built.

Are you serious? Decade na ang itinagal ng coliseum na yun? Oh my, ang tagal na nga! Naga badly needs one. I think tatapusin yun kasi the area surrounding SM Naga is obviously taking shape as one commercial and business center away from the very crowded centro, and that coliseum will look like an eyesore if it's not finished. Moreover, Naga should have one government-owned venue for big occasions like concerts, pageants, and conventions. I think madami nang nasayang na pera dun.

I got the information from a very reliable source at the SM Prime head office. He is the Business Development Officer handling the Naga project and he just came back from Naga the other week. He actually also went to Legazpi to look for possible location of Watsons. He also said that an SM in Legazpi is not yet in the pipeline.

Thanks Naga Boy for the beautiful pictures of Caramoan. The place is really fanstastic. I think it is even more beautiful than the popular Palawan island resorts and the fact that it is more accessible. Let's leave the very high end exclusive resorts to the secluded islands of Palawan which is its market niche. Caramoan can be developed into a more affordable place. Travel to Caramoan is also more affordable compared to going to Palawan which is just by air. Metro Manilans can even go by land. Caramoan should really be next Boracay!

Are you serious? Decade na ang itinagal ng coliseum na yun? Oh my, ang tagal na nga! It's True matagal na nga..

Naga badly needs one... Not really.. As far as i know, there are available venues. like UNC, ATENEO, and the City CIVIC Center.
I think tatapusin yun kasi the area surrounding SM Naga is obviously taking shape as one commercial and business center .. I agree, they( City Hall) are working on It
away from the very crowded centro, In your prespective it is crowded, maybe its true. But i doubt that the crowd inside CBD 1 will get smaller, i think it will get bigger because many people will not only visit CBD II ( SM area)but also CBD I, many people will be hire and look for spaces to rent.
and that coliseum will look like an eyesore if it's not finished. Moreover, Naga should have one government-owned venue for big occasions like concerts, pageants, and conventions. .. Yes, I think compare to Albay, Naga City should have one that is bigger than the one in Civic center.
I think madami nang nasayang na pera dun. .. The first contractor really benefited from the contract and went abroad, which i will not name..the later contractor was not paid by the City hall because of the poor materials stalled, thanks to TYPHOON REMING

I am immensely impressed at how my statement was quoted by Bobbymay. You're one crafty guy. Hehehehe!

Yung graduation ng school namin last year was held at the Civic Center. It was small, kaya dapat tapusin na ang coliseum.

NAGA CITY --- The Our Lady of Fiat Prayer Group of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA will be conducting a feeding project and medical/dental mission in this city on February 20 and 21, in collaboration with the city government and the members of the joint Ateneo de Naga/Colegio de Sta. Isabel High School Class of 1972.
Elizabeth Cecilio-Uybaretta said the 30-member team will be composed of FilAm doctors, dentists and nurses based in Philadelphia to be led by Linda de la Cruz-Corrigan, daughter of the late Judge Rafael de la Cruz of the regional trial court in this city.
The feeding program, to be held in Barangay Cararayan, through the cooperation of Barangay Chairman Ricardo S. Buena will also provide entertainment program, parlor games and Jollibee mascots to children of pre-school up to Grade 3 school age.
The dental/medical mission, on the other hand, which will conduct free consulations and examinations and provide free medicines will be held in Barangay Lerma, through coordination with the City Health Office and the barangay council led by Barangay Chairwoman Lalaine Alforte.
Joint Class member Joe Perez said the team will be arriving February 19 via Legazpi City and will be making a courtesy call at city hall shortly after their arrival.

NAGA CITY—Philippine National Railways (PNR) engineering head Edgardo Remonte said the two-phase repair and rehabilitation of the railway linking Bicol to National Capital Region (NCR) is expected to be completed by September this year and train operation will resume as soon as the project is finished.

The span of the state-controlled railway from Calamba City in Laguna province to Guinobatan town in Albay province sustained heavy damages from typhoons “Milenyo” and “Reming,” which hit the southern part of Luzon in 2006.

“The segment of the railway from Tagkawayan in Quezon province to Guinobatan in Albay is currently under repair and rehabilitation,” said Remonte, adding that the fixing of the railway segment from Calamba City to NCR would immediately follow.

Trains temporarily ceased operating in the Bicol Region but railways have not been left empty because of the presence of motorized trolleys which have used freely the railways in the absence of trains.

“We will allow trolleys to ply the railway while it is under repair and rehabilitation, but once it is ready for train use again, it should be exclusive to trains,” said Remonte.

Trains plying the 479-kilometer long railway established as early as 1875 transports both passengers and freight.

SM CITY NAGA TO OPEN IN MAY
By , 12 Feb 2009
Source: Business Mirror

Some of the country’s top merchants had a glimpse of the upcoming SM City Naga during the recent Tenants Preview at the SMX Convention Center. SM Prime Holdings president Hans Sy welcomed the tenants; he was joined by SCMC president Annie Garcia, VP for leasing Daisy Chua and SM City Lucena’s mall manager Jayson Terrenal.

Scheduled to open this May, SM City Naga will be SM Prime Holdings’ 34th supermall, and is the company’s first in the Bicol region. It is envisioned to be one of the landmarks in bustling Naga City, which is Camarines Sur’s center for trade, commerce, transport, finance, education and government services.

Located on a 46,000-square-meter property along Roxas Avenue (Diversion Road) in Naga City, the 87,959.38-sq-m, two-storey mall will serve customers in Camarines Sur, as well as neighboring provinces in Camarines Norte, Albay, Catanduanes, Sorsogon and Masbate.

The mall, which has the SM Department Store and SM Supermarket as its main anchors, will have an exciting retail mix, including SM mainstays like SM Appliance Center, ACE Hardware and Watsons, as well as the best local and international brands in fashion, home furnishings, health and personal care and electronics.

Eating-out options include the SM Food Court, as well as known local and international food chains, specialty restaurants and well-loved homegrown food outlets. It will also have four state-of-the-art cinemas with a total seating capacity of 1,400. For customer convenience, there will be 694 covered parking slots in a four-level parking building, 113 open parking spaces, and allotted parking for 253 motorcycles.

Strategically located across the city’s central business district, SM City Naga is surrounded by 500 large business establishments, as well as 15 schools, 16 hospitals, 11 hotels, six resorts, 12 churches and more than 20 government regional offices. Metro Naga also has 54 residential subdivisions, as well as the Mega Naga Coliseum and various warehousing, distribution and transport companies in the area.

Customers will have easy access to the mall as it is located across the Naga Transport Exchange consisting of the Naga Integrated Bus Terminal, and two jeepney terminals servicing almost all of the intermunicipality transportation. The mall is also 400 meters from the city center, very near the national highway and right beside the PNR railway.

SM City Naga’s design team includes Design Associates, mall designer; Monolith Construction Dev. Corp., general contractor; Jose Siao Ling & Associates, architects; and D.A. Abcede & Associates, project manager.
