SAN FRANCISCO, California --- A 14-year old son of a Nagueno is making waves in the US golf scene, having been crowned as the youngest champion in the San Francisco City Championship.

Carlos Briones whose father Greg is a member of Ateneo de Naga University High School Class of 1982 became the youngest men’s champion in the city’s 92-year history.
Carlos didn’t speak English when he moved from Naga City to the US at age 5. His first words were “McDonald’s” and “cheeseburger”. Two years later he found a hobby when he swung a club for the first time at Tony Lema Golf Course in San Leandro.

“At first, I didn’t like golf – you have to think a lot,” he said. “But then I kept playing and started to like it a little. I just get hooked.”

Briones learned the game nearly as quickly as the new language. He told his story March 8 at Harding Park, holding a large crystal bowl signifying his victory.
Brinoes earned his place alongside Gary Vanier, Ken Venturi and George Archer on the long list of city winners. He played 70 holes during that tournament -36 to overcome former UCLA quarterback Drew Olson, then highlighted by furious comeback over the final five holes, and 34 more to subdue Core.

Even at his early age – Carlos, a freshman at Moreau Catholic High in Hayward, just turned 15 last March 12 – fatigue became a factor. He complained about wobbly legs on the 13th tee, so his father and caddie, Greg, gave him an energy bar and a quick pep talk.

The match was all-square at the time, but Carlos moved ahead when Core made bogey on No. 14. Carlos stretched his lead with a fabulous up-and-down to save par on No. 15 and secured the victory by sinking a slick, downhill 7-foot putt for par on no. 16.
He responded with a vigorous fist pump even before the ball disappeared into the hole.
“The thrill of making that putt was amazing,” he said.
Carlos Padilla Briones, purong Bicolano. Oragon. With report from San Francisco Chronicle.

NAGA CITY--- The traffic volume has increased 35-40 percent on the route around the vicinity of the newly opened SM Mall here which also ushered in additional market clients from the provinces of Camarines Norte, Albay and Sorsogon, according to local officials here Wednesday.

Joselito SA. Del Rosario, executive officer of the Public Safety Office (PSO), revealed Tuesday the increased volume of public utilities plying the vicinity of the mall in addition to some 2,200 public units plying the Panganiban Avenue, the main road to the SM City Naga, has congested the traffic.

Del Rosario said the PSO is employing the rerouting traffic scheme that requires some vehicles to take specific routes in minor city streets and follow number coding to ensure the traffic flow even as he said the rerouting is still on its experimental stage.

Del Rosario said the effect of the opening of SM, which occupies a 4.6-hectare lot at the 27-hectare Central Business District II (CBD II) in the northwest portion of the city, has yet to change when classes open in June with the additional foot traffic expected to increase in the area.

Dominating the landscape with an imposing 87,959 sq. m., two-story structure, the SM Mall has also drawn a market of its own that comes from the provinces of Sorsogon, Albay and Camarines Norte that according to Florencio Mongoso Jr., chief of the Naga City Public Employment Office, is an add-on to the existing traditional market patronizing the city’s trade and commerce.

Mongoso said that so far the SM Mall has employed 1,880 workers of which 1,050 came from places outside Naga City and 800 of them are residents of this city while its operation here would bring in revenue to the city coffers P40-million every year in taxes and fees.

Mongoso noted, however, that there were some 40 percent reduction of foot traffic at the CBD I, which has served as the old central business district since the Spanish time along the edge of the Naga River, where a hyper mart and homegrown department stores and restaurants are located.

But he said there are no indications yet of the negative effects to establishments’ viability offering services similar to the services offered in the SM Mall like restaurants and food outlets and merchandising establishments and movie houses.

The SM Mall that opened May 1 has four movie houses with a total seating capacity of 1,400, food court and restaurants, mostly Bicol-based brands, SM department store, SM Supermarket, SM Appliance Center, ACE Hardware, Watsons and hosts of other business joints, from IT stores to real estate property offices.

[QUOTE=leo98;37582852]http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv225/leo98/alatcobus.jpg

A very interesting Bicol transportation history that also serves the whole country.
The former station of ALATCO and PANTRANCO in Naga is located what is now E-MALL, It was also the place where "TAWAG nang Tanghalan" is held, we can probably remember Nora Aunor once held the contest in that place.

History

July 1, 1914: a young enterprising American serviceman Albert Louise Ammen together with another American, Max Blouse organized a small transportation company in Iriga, Camarines Sur, with an initial fleet of one (1) auto-truck. He called the company ALATCO or the A.L. Ammen Transport Co., Inc. Its first route was Iriga-Naga. Mr. Ammen's venture into the transport business had become so successful that soon he expanded his fleet to service the other towns of Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Albay and Sorsogon. ALATCO became the principal carrier in the Bicol region, inaugurating highway travel that was to open remote villages in the Bicolandia, to the mainstream of economic and social development.
1942: World War II aborted expansion of the transport company. When it resumed operations in 1945 with surplus US Navy trucks bought from the United States Commercial Company, the company was faced with ruinous competition and beset with problems of maintaining its efficiency and safety as a result of her expanded size and nature of operations.
1949: The Heirs of Don Nicasio Tuazon of Manila took over ownership of ALATCO, and, with infusion of new capital, embarked on an ambitious program of expansion and rehabilitation. One important development at this time was the company's "dieselization" Program that converted its gas-powered trucks to diesel.
1952: ALATCO operated four hundred (400) units in its fleet, and it centered its fleet in Iriga. It also maintained subsidiary shops in Daet and Labo, Camarines Norte; Naga City, Camarines Sur; Ligao, Tabaco, and Legaspi in Albay; and Sorsogon and Irosin in Sorsogon.
1953: ALATCO ventured to Quezon province by consolidating into local and express bus operations from three small bus companies servicing the area. It operated under the umbrella of the Eastern Tayabas Bus Co. (ETBCO) headed by Mr. Ramón Soler. EBTCO later entered into a 5-year lease contract with the Laguna Tayabas Bus Company (LTBCO).
1971: ALATCO and ETBCO were sold to the Mantrade Group that formally amalgamated the operations of the two firms into one company. It was named the Pantranco South Express, Inc. (PSEI) to differentiate it from its northern counterpart, which the group then already owned.
1973: Compounded by global crises and steep escalation of fuel costs, PSEI nearly collapsed. The new owners and manager (the Lopa-Coujuangco group) insisted on providing the service even during floods, road interruptions and bad road conditions. Debt-strapped and traumatized by high operation costs, the company's creditors decided to take over the organization.
1974: The Creditors Syndicate of PSEI decided to develop and implement a Corporate Rehabilitation Program. The same year, the Company added Catanduanes, Samar and Masbate to its scope of operations, having formalized tie-ups with passenger ferry operators in these areas.
1978: PSEI introduced its air-conditioned coaches in its southern route.
1980: The Company expanded its freight service operations and moved its central offices and terminal at its present site in Pasay City.
1981: The Company pioneered in Eastern Visayas and by year-end had connected all of Leyte and Samar provinces to the Luzon mainstream. PSEI also entered the sea transport business with its passenger and vehicle ferry, linking the ports of Matnog, Sorsogon and Allen, Northern Samar.
1982: A new level of service was inaugurated with the addition of Royal Class and new air-conditioned coaches with toilets and VCR's in the company's fleet. PSEI also became the first bus company in the Philippines to computerize its operations.
1984: PSEI, together with two other ferryboat operators, formed a joint venture company, the St. Bernard Services Corporation (SBTC) that now operates in the San Bernardino Strait, with the government ferry boat, Maharlika I. In the same year, the company changed its name to Philtranco Service Enterprises, Incorporated.
1986: Commemorated the first Luzon-Visayas-Mindanao (LUZVIMINDA) run that became the first trans-Philippine bus-cum-ferry-operation. Now PSEI has seven ferryboat operations crossing Matnog and Allen, and Liloan, Southern Leyte and Surigao City, Surigao del Norte. Having opened the southern frontiers of Mindanao to Luzon and Visayas with its inter-modal transport service, Philtranco hopes to contribute its share in effecting the real unification of the nation where the economic, educational, cultural, political and social opportunities are shared by every Filipino.
April 1999: Penta Pacific Realty Corporation acquired PSEI headed by businessman Jose C.H. Alvarez. This new group immediately programmed a fleet replacement of 80 units costing PHP250 million.
June 2000: The 29-seater Gold Service Bus was introduced, initially serving key cities in the Bicol region, with a coach stewardess as additional crew to assist passengers, giving the same service as that of an airline.
June 1, 2001: PSEI implemented the Passenger Check-in and Baggage Tag System procedures for the security, convenience and comfort of our riding public. PSEI is the first bus company in the country to adopt this system patterned after the airline system. Today, Philtranco is a symbol of progress in the Philippine transport industry. The Company continues to blaze new trails with the innovations in its levels and brands of services.
2004: Philtranco, the country's lone integrated land and sea transport company, is embarking on a PHP4 billion (US$75 million) investment program over a five-year period to acquire new fleet of buses and ferry boats, and improve and expand its terminals. Philtranco CEO Jose E.B. Antonio said the expansion is in response to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's push to modernize the country's land and sea transport service of goods and passengers through five major islands -- Luzon, Mindoro, Panay, Negros and Mindanao.

^^ Yes, you're right Bobby. That's an example of international style of architecture during the 60s and 70s. A lot of good examples of this architecture are the buildings in UP Diliman and Los Baños.

MANILA, Philippines—Senator Richard J. Gordon wants to add a ninth ray to the sun in the Philippine flag to symbolize the Muslims who fought against foreign invaders.

why don't they just change the meaning of the eight rays into the group of people comprising the Philippines (ilocanos, ilonggos, bicolanos, sugbuanon, warays, etc...)

Adding a star is highly opposed by the NHI. Why? The reason why only eight stars were placed is because those were the FIRST eight provinces to have revolted against the Spaniards. Adding another star would mean there were NINE provinces not eight. The only possibility that another star will be added is when a historian would prove that there were originally nine provinces, not wight, who revolted against Spanish forces.

why don't they add another star to represent Sabah also...Sabah is an integral part of the Philippine territory but being leased by Malaysia for less than 100,000 pesos a year!

Malaysia is no longer paying the tribute to the Sultan of Sulu, FYI.:)

Nope, It was a reply to Fred_y, a troll, perhaps in this thread. Though i'm not against with his negative remarks on the showroom, I find his posts offending to some forumers in this thread. He seemed to hate this thread and the forumers. Anyway, the mod already deleted his posts.

Pwede tumambling? :lol:

Hi, guys! Was at SM Naga yesterday and two days ago, hehehe! Yung una, I just arrived from Baguio, whose SM branch I also visited. Anyway, I had the time before coming back to Goa so I decided to get inside the mall. I love the fact that it has a lot of space. Maluwag, hindi ka mababangga. I loved the supermarket, especially the fruits and vegetables section (although I didn't buy anything). The Department Store was the busiest section, was tempted to buy shoes, but I controlled myself.

The second day, yesterday, I bought three items amounting to--ah basta naubos yung 13th month pay ko plus divident ng school cooperative namin, so bahala na kayo mag-imagine what I bought. Thanks to SM Naga kasi wala akong nakita sa Jayson Marketing (sa Legazpi meron kaso ang layo ibibyahe ko pa yung mga binili ko from Legazpi to Goa) so I went to SM, where the unit I was looking for was out of stock but where I saw another unit which is so much better that I am enjoying it right now. Hehehe!

But generally, the mall is great!

Wow. Now I can't wait to go home and visit that SM! I thought you bought a laptop or something. Mas bongga pala binili mo. :D

Naga Has Country's First University With Institutional Accreditation (http://www.voxbikol.com/bikolnews/763/naga-has-countrys-first-university-institutional-accreditation)
Jonas Cabiles Soltes
30.05.2009

http://www.voxbikol.com/sites/default/files/Ateneo_de_Naga.jpg
Ateneo de Naga

NAGA CITY—The only Jesuit learning institution in Bikol region is also the first among all other schools and universities in the country to have institutional accreditation from Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU).

Ateneo de Naga University (AdNU) beat all the major Manila-based universities to the accreditation.

The recognition comes after CHED’s conferral of autonomous status to AdNU, and PAASCU’s granting of Level III accreditation for its some of the university’s key programs.

In granting institutional accreditation, PAASCU have recognized all academic programs offered by AdNU.

The accreditation was announced during the regular meeting of the PAASCU Board of Trustees on May 25, 2009.

Institutional Accreditation is a very recent development in the voluntary accreditation movement.

PAASCU has been granting program (e.g., Education, Arts & Sciences, Commerce, etc.) accreditation since 1957 but only adopted institutional accreditation in 2008.

To qualify for institutional accreditation, the following must be complied:

1. The Arts and Sciences, Business and Education programs should have been granted at least Level III status.
2. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the school’s program offerings should be accredited. The accredited programs should have at least Level I status. Programs where there are no existing evaluation instruments and new program offerings that have not graduated at least two batches will not be included in the computation.
3. The performance of graduates in the licensure examinations should be at par with or above the national passing rate for at least three consecutive board examinations.
4. The school should have well-developed internal quality assurance mechanisms.
5. Majority of the total student population should be enrolled in the accredited programs

Having undergone multi-program and multi-level formal surveys of its collegiate programs in August 2008, ADNU met each of the criteria.

AdNU’s degree programs under the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Commerce and Education are Level III re-accredited and overall, 84.38% (54 out of 64) of its accreditation eligible programs are accredited.

Also, its degree programs requiring board exams (Elementary and Secondary Education, Civil Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Nursing, and Accountancy) have established passing percentages which are at par with or higher than the national passing rates.

In terms of population, 76.45% of students are enrolled in the accredited programs.

Over the years, long-term strategic development plans provided the framework for institutional quality assurance mechanisms.

The development plans were implemented through comprehensive and integrated systems and included policies and practices that help assure overall effectiveness of university operations such as instruction, research and extension.

The next step for AdNU is Level IV accreditation. To date, only Ateneo de Manila University and De la Salle University in Manila have Level IV accreditation.

I'm not sure if that's still on-going. As far as I can remember, Malaysia stopped paying the tributes. But anyway, I hope they continue doing so. AND make sure that they keep the payment with today's global currencies. 'Yung tipong parang currency adjustment para hindi naman 73K lang binabayad nila for Sabah's entirety. Eh andami nilang nakukuha sa lugar na un - rubber, petroleum and bananas. OMG.

Nope, I already have a laptop (two years old na sya). Will probably replace this this Christmas. Yeah, okay naman yung nabili ko sa SM. Ayoko na ngang pumasok. I want to sing all day. Hahaha!

Waw. Papalit-palit na lang si Sir Kerry ng gadget. I wanna buy a Nokia E63. I'm rooting to get it before the year ends. :D

Daet, Camarines Norte (2 June) -- The Department of Agriculture (DA) Bicol regional office spearheaded a Forum on Ginintuang Masaganang Ani (GMA) and Fertilizer, Irrigation, Education and Training, Loans, Dryers and other Postharvest Facilities, and Seeds (FIELDS) programs for farmers in the province held last May 28 at the Agro-Sports Center here.

The GMA and FIELDS programs form part of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's priority concerns to address poverty in the countryside through agricultural development and productivity.

DA Regional Executive Director Dr. Jose V. Dayao said that the forum provided a venue for the stakeholders to discuss with agriculture managers the government programs and interventions to cushion the effects of the global economic crisis in the agriculture sector, particularly on the increasing price of rice in the world market wherein the country gets 10 percent of its rice consumption.

He noted that because of the economic meltdown, many workers lost their jobs and one of the prospects in the country is to bolster agriculture through dialogue, seminars and trainings, technology demonstrations and technology transfer for the farmers.

Other topics discussed during the forum were credit assistance program, extension/education program, palay procurement and other programs, education programs, GMA corn program, livestock program, fisheries program and other related programs.

Personnel from Provincial Agriculture Office, Municipal Agriculture Offices of the different LGUs, other concerned national government line agencies, farmers and fisherfolks' cooperatives, irrigators association participated to the one-day activity.

Also present were Mayor Winefredo Oco of Labo town and Board Member Jonah Pimentel, who also represented and delivered the message of Governor Jesus O. Typoco Jr.

Please don't be....

In Christianity

In Proverbs 14:30 the Bible says, "A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones " Likewise, the Bible advises, "Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity,"

(Psalm 37:1). Solomon wrote, "Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them; " (Proverbs 24:1).

In Islam

We must also not forget the famous story of Joseph (peace be upon him) and his brothers who envied his father's love for him so much that they cast him into a well.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) warned against the ill consequences of envy upon the envier, saying: “Beware of envy, for indeed envy consumes one's good deeds like fire consumes wood.” [ Sunan Abî Dâwûd (4903)]

Envy occurs when we see some blessing in the hands of another and desire for that blessing to be lost to that person.

Envy is lack of contentment with the decree and power of ALLAH, and we are asked to be content with what He gives us.

Gardeners plant tourist drawer in Naga City (http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/regions/view/20090604-208680/Gardeners-plant-tourist-drawer-in-Naga-City)

By Juan Escandor Jr.
Inquirer Southern Luzon
First Posted 00:16:00 06/04/2009

Filed Under: Tourism

NAGA CITY, Philippines—Decided to save a grove of matured trees in a planned relocation site of slum dwellers in Naga, a group of garden enthusiasts had successfully convinced the city government 10 years ago to instead build a distinct tourist destination there.

Today, the Naga City Ecology Park, or simply Ecopark, is one of the top tourist drawers. It is two kilometers from the city hub in Barangay San Felipe.

The Isarog Garden Society Foundation Inc. (IGSFI) had been relentless in lobbying to develop the four-hectare property into a showcase of some 100 different plant species in dedication to ecology, recalls Johnny Las, its president.

Heeding the call, the city government entered into a memorandum of agreement with the IGSFI in 1999, which guaranteed a P300,000 yearly allotment for the group to exclusively manage and operate the Ecopark for 25 years.

Another property in Balatas was bought by the city government under Mayor Jesse Robredo’s relocation project for squatters occupying lots around the central business district.

“All is well that ends well with regard to our opposition against the relocation site because of the trees. The urban poor dwellers are better in their own places in Balatas, which is nearer the centro, while we achieve also our dream of showcasing what the garden enthusiasts of Naga City could do to help improve the environment and the landscape,” Las explains.

From a patch of trees with cogon grass, the property has become a unique composition of trees, different palm varieties, hedges, blooms and greenery carpeting the slightly rolling terrain.

On the average, 279,960 people visit the Ecopark every year. The place has carved its own distinct appeal to tourists because of its wide array of ornamental plants, palms, blooms and trees that are categorized by species and bloom color, Las says.

“To capture the religiosity and devotion of the Bicolanos, the Ecopark has a special garden dedicated to Marian devotion with statues of Our Lady of Fatima, Nuestra Señora del Salvacion, Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia, Our Lady of Miraculous Medal and Our Lady of Guadalupe,” he says.

Dolly Chavez, the administrator, says the park is also a favorite destination of educational and group tours to Naga. Its thematic garden plants and trees are tagged with common and scientific names, like those found in botanical gardens, she says.

Las, an agriculturist and rural bank owner, says the Ecopark is the product of a partnership between civil society and the city government. It demonstrates how private participation in development can be harnessed to attain best results, he says.

The park employs six daily workers, an assistant administrator, a gatekeeper and four maintenance laborers.

On May 17, the Ecopark’s centerpiece, named Ecology Hall, was blessed and inaugurated, coinciding with the celebration of the 30th foundation anniversary of the IGSFI. The air-conditioned facility with a 120-seat capacity will provide a venue for conferences, seminars, workshops, reception and even for meditation and spiritual inspiration amid greens and blooms.

Cebu to corner a third of SM bond sale proceeds (http://www.bworldonline.com/BW060509/content.php?id=044)

CEBU CITY — Nearly a third of the P10-billion proceeds from the retail bond debut of Sy-controlled SM Investments Corp. will go to projects in Cebu.

Radisson Hotel Cebu, which will have a "soft" opening in October and fully operate in December, will get P2.5 billion while the planned SMX Convention Center Cebu will get P400 million to P500 million. A boutique hotel for travellers, one among 15 planned throughout the country, will also be put up near the SM mall here, said Jose T. Sio, SM Investments executive vice-president and chief financial officer.

Mr. Sio said a total of P2 billion would be allotted for the construction of these budget hotels over the next 10 years. The first will be built starting late this year in Bacolod, where he said "there’s a need for a good, small hotel for travellers." Aside from those in Cebu and Bacolod, budget hotels will also be built next to SM malls in Iloilo, Baguio and Naga, among others. — Marites S. Villamor

Mabalos sa saindong pag-welcome sa sakuya digdi sa thread na ini.
I hope to be part of healthy free discussion of relevant issues as well as info sharing as we go along in this thread. I do appreciate every bit of information of what is new and what is happening in Naga and Bicol.

I am overseas-based. I was in Naga in December and I was awed with how much our dear city has progressed over the years. For 2 and a half years that i did not see Naga, lots of businesses, big and small and of all sorts, sprouted accross the city. Business is no longer concentrated around the old CBD. And with the entry of SM, shopping experience among Bicolanos is brought to a new level.

I heard so much about the tourism miracle that L-Ray Villafuerte brought to Cam Sur. And I believe, Camarinenses should continue to support him in as much as he is doing very well in provincial governance the same way that Naga has been supporting Robredo. I think this young man has still so much bright ideas about development in the province to further fortify and sustain economic growth in the province but efforts should range accross all economic spectrum and not just be concentrated in one industry.

Tourism is very well on the right tract and needs to be sustained but I hope to see more growth along other economic sectors like manufacturing which will create more jobs and bring more money to our local economy.

For other local government officials, shake off those cranky brains and help bring progress to our province and country.:bash:

Kudos Naga and Kudos Camarines Sur.

Liwat mabalos.

This is really a GOOD idea, setting up Video Security in the Metropolitan. It saves money and manpower. A solution to the lack of security forces in our area and Police forces can now be more efficient to do other task that they need to focus. Develop countries like U.K.,U,S are using this effectively.
Just in-case i meet Kgd. Nathan or Francis Mendoza, i will ask about it . CCTV NAGA to the future:banana::banana::banana:.

CCTV is the one being used in major areas in Manila right now and has yielded positive results - crime rate has gone down and very efficient.

Ten CCTV cameras would really make a big difference in fighting against crimes.

I know it's is under the City Government. I don't think it's part of the possible acquisition of RLC to the Enrile Business "if possible".
Maybe when the City Government will have a bigger budget (e.g. SM revenue), they might have it rehabilitated or privatize.

Oh, I thought it's part of the Enrile... Have it rehabilitated rather than privatized; privatization would greatly change the structure unless otherwise there's an agreement or law that would protect such.

Yes, Naga badly needs traffic lights.

Agree, especially in Panganiban/Penafrancia intersection; Magsaysay/Panganiban Intersection.

I know there was once across Jollibee and South Star drug, along E. Angeles St.. I don't know what happen. maybe poor quality product:ohno:

Oh, I thought it's part of the Enrile... Have it rehabilitated rather than privatized; privatization would greatly change the structure unless otherwise there's an agreement or law that would protect such.

Well, It really depends upon the lessor, if the city agrees to have it rehab or totally demolished.

i think its already acquired by RLC including the Enrile property's

7eleven does not have its branch in Bicol yet. It is very popular in MM and Southern Tagalog Region. Hope it will be pushed thru.

Well, It really depends upon the lessor, if the city agrees to have it rehab or totally demolished. But in-case it will be privatize, it's practical enough to have it rehabilitated than totally demolished it, why? it's too costly to demolished.

Street lights and better traffic officers are more needed than this security system. What are the use of traffic personnel of they would be replaced by these cameras? They'll still be salary even if they won't do their work? That's BS. Traffic lights will do good in major intersections and thoroughfares in the city like the intersection just in front of Jollibee Centro, Francia-Tabuc Bridge, etc.

I hope the city hall has thought of this first before coming up with those CCTV cameras.

"Trash to Cash" project launched at SM City

by DC Abad

Naga City (5 June) -- Reaffirming their commitment as vanguards for the environment, the government and the private business sector have forged partnership in carrying out practical applications of environmentally sound techniques and strategies of waster minimization.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Bicol, in cooperation with the Naga City Government, Philippine Business for the Environment (PBE) and SM City here, launched the Recycling Market or "Trash to Cash" project to educate shoppers or mall goers on proper disposal of solid recyclable materials.

SM City has organized and is maintaining a collecting and buying event for recyclable materials at the mall open parking area from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. every first Friday and Saturday of the month.

Previous recycling market days in other malls of SM had over a hundred sellers turn-out coming from the AB market, working class, students and parents.

The project has saved 11,000 seven-year-old trees and diverted from landfills two tons of mall-generated garbage.

Items such as scrap paper and cardboard, empty ink and toner cartridges, plastic bottles and plastic caps, used lead batteries (from cars/UPS/voltage regulators), aluminum, tin cans, busted rechargeable lamps, polystyrene, Styrofoam, junk cellphone, cellphone batteries (not for recycling/buying) are brought for display and sale to accredited buyers.

The project, launched in time for the observance of Environment Month this June, is in consonance with Republic Act 9003 or "The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000".

Yes, Naga badly needs traffic lights.

Definitely, as the premier city of Bicolandia, Naga should have traffic lights for the efficiency of its traffic system.

CCTV is the one being used in major areas in Manila right now and has yielded positive results - crime rate has gone down and very efficient.

Ten CCTV cameras would really make a big difference in fighting against crimes.

Great help, indeed. Makati City has it. And Camp Caringal also....

Don't have much infos about 7 Eleven in Naga. But in Masbate City, a newly-opened establishment that catches my attention was the Ten Seven Convenience Store. The building looks like just 7 Eleven store.....:nuts:

MANILA, Philippines -- The House justice committee voted 42-8 to dismiss yesterday the fourth and latest impeachment complaint against President Arroyo for “lack of substance,” with one prominent administration lawmaker likening the development to a “hearse of exhumed carcasses” being “led back to the graveyard.”

“Litigations must not be interminable. Exhumation of carcasses of dismissed causes of actions is not sanctioned since there must be an end to litigation,” declared Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman, vice chairman of the panel headed by Quezon City Rep. Matias Defensor.

He argued that four of the seven grounds for impeachment were “recycled, rehashed.”

“The committee on justice, by virtue of the vote just taken, has declared to dismiss the complaint against President Gloria Arroyo,” Defensor said, as he declared the proceedings over. Read more here (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleid=418950)

AFP Troops Forced Camarines Sur Folks to Attend Seminars: Campaigns for Dato Arroyo and Against Militant Party-list Groups

Residents of the first district of Camarines Sur comprising the municipalities of Cabusao, Del Gallego, Libmanan, Lupi, Minalabac, Pamplona, Pasacao, Ragay, San Fernando, and Sipocot are being forced to attend seminars conducted by the 42nd Infantry Battalion under Lieutenant Colonel Dece M. Yabo of the 9th Infantry Division. These seminars, called by the military as “Information Caravan and Integrated Defense System (ITDS) Orientation Live-In Seminar,” follow a strict schedule from 2 p.m. in the first day to 11 a.m. the next day. In another certificate shown by a former participant, the words “and Alsa Masa” came after “(ITDS)”.

Yabo of the 9th Infantry Division.

the people were ordered to march to the streets, and forced to shout anti-communist slogans while carrying placards with similar messages.

“When we came back to the gym, there was a streamer with the message ‘Welcome Dato Arroyo’ printed on it, but he did not arrive,” the councilor said, “We then heard a soldier shout ‘Mabuhay si Dato Arroyo!’” (Cheers to Dato Arroyo!)

Diosdado “Dato” Arroyo is one of the sons of Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. He is currently running for the position of representative of the 1st district of Camarines Sur against Sabas “Abang” Mabulo, three-term mayor of San Fernando town.

MASBATE Gov. Antonio Kho was cleared of charges he masterminded the murder of political rival Tito Espinosa, a former congressman.

Kho, with two others, was acquitted yesterday of Espinosa’s murder by a Quezon City court that found insufficient evidence to link the former congressman to the crime.

But Blas Rosario, the gunman who had implicated Kho only to retract later, was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment by Judge Ma. Theresa Yadao of Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 81.

He was also ordered to pay P500,000 in damages and P50,000 in indemnity to Espinosa’s heirs.

In a 25-page decision, Yadao said the prosecution presented only circumstantial evidence and failed to show direct proof connecting Kho and his co-accused Roberto Pidlaoan and Arnel Quidato to the murder.

The decision covered only four of the original nine accused, which had included former Uzbitondo, Pangasinan mayor Rogelio Soriano and former Uson, Masbate mayor Nelson Lim, who died on Jan. 17, 2006 and Nov. 11, 2003, respectively.

The rest of the accused, Tirso Tamondong and Jacinto Ramos, have not been caught, while one unidentified suspect was never identified and arrested.

Court records showed that Espinosa, then representative of Masbate’s first district, was aboard a red Ferosa, cruising along Commonwealth Avenue near IBP Road in the early evening of Feb. 28, 1995 when he was shot by an assailant in an ambush.

Speaker Prospero Nograles, Lakas president, said they are not ruling out the merger with other political parties to further strengthen Lakas’ political clout.

Adding “NPC to the equation,” according to Nograles, could further increase the combined forces of Lakas and Kampi in the House of Representatives from 66.8 percent to 78.6 percent. Read more here (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=436476&publicationSubCategoryId=63)

One reason is, no doubt, the crushing results of February 24, 2006 state of emergency by virtue of Proclamation 1017 of Mrs. Arroyo. The chance to depose Mrs. Gloria Arroyo was lost. Demoralization followed.

Now, after three years in the shadows, liberals, activists, progressives and moral forces wants to win this coming 2010 national and local election from municipal, congressional and gubernatorial level to national level.

Today the sense of urgency is very strong. Filipinos are all too willing to give up their life, limb and mind by the millions across the nation to make the "great change".:soon:

One question: Why do "we" want to depose Ms Arroyo when she's doing such a good job? Yes, she may have flaws but don't take away the fact that she's done so much that Marcos, Aquino, Ramos and Estrada (most especially) were not able to do during their term.

I, for one, do not understand why the pretenses regarding Ms Arroyo are widely believed when there are no concrete pieces of evidence surfacing. Believing in such is sooooo half-witted.

About the "resolution" about the proposed constituent assembly. In the strictest political definition of a resolution, do you even know half of its meaning??? A resolution is JUST a resolution until it is approved into a bill that will be acted upon once that bill is approved. Unless otherwise a resolution is passed to be a bill, it's just a resolution. Plainly a resolution.

And what sense of urgency are you talking about?! Almost all administrations experience that. Why? Because the non-thinking masa is not thinking. Do you know why? I'd rather not answer my own question.

And you are asking where the patriotic Bicolanos are. Here is one, speaking for Ms Arroyo.

Cebu to corner a third of SM bond sale proceeds

CEBU CITY — Nearly a third of the P10-billion proceeds from the retail bond debut of Sy-controlled SM Investments Corp. will go to projects in Cebu.

Radisson Hotel Cebu, which will have a "soft" opening in October and fully operate in December, will get P2.5 billion while the planned SMX Convention Center Cebu will get P400 million to P500 million. A boutique hotel for travellers, one among 15 planned throughout the country, will also be put up near the SM mall here, said Jose T. Sio, SM Investments executive vice-president and chief financial officer.

Mr. Sio said a total of P2 billion would be allotted for the construction of these budget hotels over the next 10 years. The first will be built starting late this year in Bacolod, where he said "there’s a need for a good, small hotel for travellers." Aside from those in Cebu and Bacolod, budget hotels will also be built next to SM malls in Iloilo, Baguio and Naga, among others.

The convention center project near the existing SM City Cebu mall and Radisson Hotel Cebu is in the design stage. Construction is expected to start next year, with the center opening in 2011.

Other projects that will be financed by the bond issue are the Two E-Com Center, a sports arena, a Radisson Hotel as well as the expansion of the SMX Convention Center, all within the Mall of Asia complex in Pasay.

Eduardo V. Francisco, president of BDO Capital and Investments Corp., said demand for both the five-year and seven-year fixed-rate domestic retail bonds has been very strong.

"Demand is very strong so that it is no longer a question of whether we can raise P5 billion, but whether it’s going to be P9 billion or P10 billion," he said.

The Securities and Exchange Commission had approved a P5-billion fixed-rate bond issue, with an option to sell P5 billion more in case of oversubscription. Pricing will be set today and the bonds will be offered from June 8 to June 18, or eight business days.

This is the first retail bond issue of SM Investments, the listed holding company of the SM group with businesses in retail merchandising, mall operations, banking and finance, property development, and hotel and entertainment.

Meanwhile, SM Hotels expects a soft opening of the Radisson Hotel here in October. Radisson is the upscale full-service brand of Carlson Hotels Worldwide.

Marissa Fernan, SM vice-president for marketing in Visayas and Mindanao, said in a separate interview that key personnel led by general manager Grant J. Gaskin, a former managing director of the Radisson in Shanghai, have been appointed. Except for Mr. Gaskin, other key personnel are Filipinos.

Management is starting to interview local suppliers, she added. Homemade furniture will be used to furnish the hotel, providing Cebu’s beleaguered furniture industry a boost.

"Having Radisson here is a good thing for our furniture industry," Ms. Fernan said.

Radisson Cebu, which is positioned as an upscale business hotel, will have 400 rooms, a huge convention hall and the biggest Chinese restaurant in Cebu, Mr. Sio said. — Marites S. Villamor

Those ugly crawling espapegi monster wires destruct the beauty of every cities/towns. I hope there is better solution for this annoying problem.

Ganda nga ng place, particularly ng building/bahay etc. pagtingin mo naman sa taas may pugita sauce naman.

Well here in Marikina those wires is perfectly set/align above the streets and major roads, sana same din ito in other cities especially in Naga City my beloved city.

Guys did you watched Leadership Forums in abs-cbn last night? Ganda ng show tsk tsk tsk Eraption ang mga banat ni ERAP. Kahit palpak minsan mga sagot nya tumatak sakin yun sinabi “Di dapat mayayaman ang pumipili ng Presidente kundi mahihirap at ordinaryong Pilipino” maybe he is talking to the business community at sa mga maiimpluwesyang mayayaman sa Pilipinas.

NABUA, Camarines Sur, Jun 5 (PNA) –- Ignoring the belief that salad vegetables could only be grown in highlands or in greenhouses, a farmer here adopted the organic farming technology to produce the high-value crop in a once idle lot he converted mid-last year into a lowland farm.

First, Renato Norte cleared of weeds and grasses the 2,000-square meter vacant lot in Barangay Topas Sogod here lent to him by a friend.

After that, he collected rice hulls which he carbonized and applied to improve the soil tilth and used chicken dung to restore its fertility. His land preparation involved only a hoe, his bare hands and strong determination to start a new life after his recent retirement from work as a plant mechanic.

Through the seeds he obtained from the Municipal Agricultural Office (MAO) as part of the implementation of the Programang Gulayan para sa Masa of the Department of Agriculture (DA), Norte planted cabbage, cauliflower, romaine lettuce, chives, and broccoli.

These vegetables usually grown in the highland farms of Baguio City and the Mountain Province, he said command high prices in the local market being excellent sources of Vitamins A, C, B1, B2, foliate, manganese and chromium.

They are also good sources of dietary fiber, and minerals like potassium, molybdenum, iron and phosphorous, Norte said.

As insecticide, he prepared oriental herbal nutrient, indigenous microorganisms and citronella leaves which he sprayed on the plants. As follow-up fertilizer, Norte used extracts from fish amino acid which he sprayed into the leaves.

“Experimenting and testing new technologies are challenging,” he told the Philippines News Agency over the week.

He said he made some research on how to grow organic vegetables and how to produce organic fertilizer to avoid overspending on commercial fertilizer.

Now, his hard work is paying off as since late last year, Norte said he has been harvesting the first batch of vegetable he had tediously grown.

From December to February, Norte said he was able to harvest some 150 kilos of lettuce alone sold at P120 per kilo. His wife, Charito does the marketing.

“We are happy as out of our sales, we were able to send our only child to college this year and sustain his studies given the bright opportunity offered by this venture that we are taking advantage of ,” Mrs. Norte said.

Engr. Florenio P. Regala

Florenio Pinili Regala is the 2nd of the 7 children of Alejandro Villaluz Regala of Nabua, Camarines Sur and Clara Pangilinan Pinili of Cavite City (both deceased). The family evacuated to Nabua, Camarines Sur, when Sangley Point, a U. S. Navy base in Cavite City, was bombed by the Japanese in the opening days of World War II.

He grew up in the “camaren” and worked as a busboy and helper in their family karehan, "Carenderia Cavitena". During his off days, he sold “sinapot” around town and worked as a shoe-shine boy in his young age, learning the business of making money. He graduated 1st Honorable Mention from Nabua National High School graduating Class of ’56 and top of the Class ’59 at the Camarines Sur National School of Arts and Trades with a major in Electrical Technology. At the lab-shop he was the only student who made a radio in his own ingenuity.

In Manila, he was accepted at the Philippine College of Arts and Trades and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Education in Electrical Technology, with a minor in Mathematics. After passing the Teacher Civil Service examination, he was assigned to teach at the Claro M. Recto High School Division of City School, Manila. He pursued his education at the University of the East in the evening classes and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electronics and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering.

Starting a new life in the U.S.A. was extremely difficult for Mr. Regala having no job. It took him months to find one. He started as an electronic assembler and worked his way up. His hard work and perseverance led to promotions to Test Technician, Jr. Engineer, Design Engineer, Senior Engineer, then to Project Engineer. To enhance his technical knowledge, he took specialty courses from different Colleges and Universities.

After several years, opportunities opened up for him. He became Manager of Research and Development at the Rockwell-Collins, Costa Mesa Operation. Then he was hired as the Engineering Manager by Dayton Granger Inc. of Florida and was subsequently promoted to Director of Engineering. He returned to California where he was offered to work as Vice President of Engineering of an Orange County manufacturing company called Trivc Avant Corporation. It was an offer that he could not refuse. He eventually became part-owner of the company.

After working for many years for "emerging technology" companies , Engr. Regala decided to work for himself. He used his house as the company’s operational facility. His living room became his business office, the garage his laboratory for research, design, and development, and the backyard is his outdoor testing laboratory.

During this time, he developed and invented four Line-Of-Sight (LOS) and Satellite communication (SATCOM) Antennas for shipboard, airborne, and vehicular applications.

Portable co-located LOS and SATCOM antenna
US Patent Issued on March 28, 2006

A dual-band, dual-polarization LOS/SATCOM antenna having a plurality of omnidirectional elements surrounding a directional element. When the antenna is in an omnidirectional radiating mode, the directional element is disconnected from the circuit and only the omnidirectional elements radiate. The directional element has radiators at one end. When the antenna is in a directional mode, the omnidirectional elements fold out to be perpendicular to the transmission axis and serve as reflectors for the driving radiators, which also fold to be perpendicular to the transmission axis. The radiators and elements are adjustable in length to provide added gain.

He received four patents for these inventions from the United States Patent Office. These Patents are displayed at Macagang Diner along side the old pictures of their “Carenderia Cavitena” (taken in 1970), a reminder of where he came from.

;37984064']NEDA identifies P4.5B investment prospects in Bicol (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=210031)
By Danny O. Calleja

LEGAZPI CITY, June 9 (PNA) –- The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) has identified seven key areas in the Bicol region declared by the Philippine Economic Zones Authority (PEZA) as Special Economic Zones for developments worth a total of about P4.5 billion. Two of these economic zones located in the province of Albay are the 33.13-hectare Legazpi City Special Economic Zone in Barangay Banquerohan here and the 31.3-hectare Tiwi Ecozone in Barangay Bagumbayan, Tiwi town.

The Legazpi ecozone with an estimated project cost of P206 million is being developed by the city government to become site of various investment such as food and beverage processing, light metal industry, electronics and appliance manufacturing and furniture and fixture making, NEDA regional director Romeo Escandor said on Tuesday.

Factories for garments, textiles, gift items, toys, housewares, organic chemicals and ceramics and non-metallic mineral processing plants are several other preferred industries in the complex, Escandor said. City Mayor Noel Rosal here said the site will be provided with all the amenities of a world-class industrial zone like stable supply of water and electricity, good access roads and security.

The city is also host to the Embarcadero de Legazpi, a P1.8-billion economic tourism hub being developed by the Sunwest Group of Companies within a 5.1-hectare bay front commercial complex. It is slated to start operations before the end of this year.

Being developed by the Tiwi Ecozone Corporation at the cost of P98.8 million, the Tiwi site would prefer factories for electronics and computer peripherals, garments, ready-to-wear apparels and wood-based products, Escandor said. Tiwi is also host town to the vast geothermal energy complex being operated by Chevron and producing some 300 megawatts of electricity for the Luzon Power Grid of the National Power Corporation.

Albay had another special economic zone in the island town of Rapu-rapu which was developed into a gold mining complex by the Australian-owned Lafayette Phils. Inc. for some P46.3 million three years ago. The mining operations were taken over by a Korean firm early this year after it was given up by Lafayette upon declaring bankruptcy in the wake of controversies drawn by its one year operations that violated Philippine laws on environmental protection and conservation.

In Camarines Norte, the ecozone is the 30-hectare Global Industrial and Maritime Complex in Larap, a coastal village of Jose Panganiban town with an estimated cost of development worth P1.1 billion. Escandor said, this site is intended for agribusiness, electronic industries and manufacturing of military supplies and armaments.

The rest of these seven prospected investment areas are the Bicol Industrial Park (BIP), Isarog Heights Special Economic Zone (IHSEZ), Naga Agro-Industrial Center (NAIC) and Sta. Rita Industrial Park (SRIP), all within the province of Camarines Sur.

BIP has a 100-hectare site located in Barangay San Jose, Bula town being developed by the FPI Industrial Park, Inc. for P620 million to host food processing, wood products, ceramics, textiles, wearing apparels and electronics factories, Escandor said. IHSEZ is an over 124-hectare development site located in Barangay Cadlan, Pili town being developed by the Manubay Agro-Industrial and Development Corporation for a cost estimated at about P800 million, Escandor said. This area will accommodate manufacturing and food processing plants, he said.

The SRIP being developed by the Sta. Rita Ecozone Corporation for at least P1.4 billion that sits within a 219-hectare covering Barangays San Jose and Sagurong also in Pili town. It will be intended for manufacturers of IT and IT-related products such as computer motherboards, telephone sets, CD ROM units, and electronics equipment and peripherals, Escandor said.

NAIC on the other hand is a 105-hectare industrial complex located in Barangay Pacol, Naga City being developed by the Pacol Industrial Development Corporation for some P515.9 million. Naga is a chartered city within the province Camarines Sur. The NEDA regional director said this site prefers light to medium non-polluting industries like electronics, electrical, agro-based plants, food manufacturing, wood products, ceramics and textiles.

These investment facilities when put into full operations will certainly uplift the economic situation of Bicol that is presently considered as the second poorest among the 16 regions of the country, Escandor said. Bicol badly needed these investment opportunities for more jobs, business prospects and food production considering the fact that the region’s population had already breached the five million mark based on the latest census that placed it at 5,109,798 as of Aug. 1, 2007, he said.

The National Statistics Office (NSO) said this population figure shows an annual growth rate of 1.23 percent between 2000 and 2007 that roughly translates into an additional 48,153 metric tons in rice requirement based on the average that a Bicolano consumes 110.7 kilograms of the staple food annually as reported by the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS) in 2000.

The Bicol population increase also means an additional 4,615 metric tons of pork, 861 metric tons of beef and 1,944 metric tons of chicken meat requirement from the 2000 levels to satisfy per capita consumption of 10.61 kilograms of pork, 1.98 kilograms of beef and 4.47 kilograms of chicken meat based on the food consumption survey of the BAS. (PNA)
/V3/LQ/DOC/1232/cbd

This is great news for the Bicol Region. The establishment of economic zones here in our region not only it will contribute to Bicol's bustling economy but it will surely generate jobs for those jobseekers and thereby preventing migration to other urban centers like Metro Manila and the Calabarzon Region.
Hopefully, the entire Bicol Region becomes IRA dependent in the future!:)

Btw, I've been to Banquerohan and I never knew that it hosts to a special economic zone...

:):lol::cheers:With the opening of SM City Naga, development in CBD will further be hastened. Definitely, more businesses will soon be sprouting around the area aside from those development that are already ongoing. The area is an ideal location for business considering the volume of customers that troop to the giant mall everyday. And if the coliseum would be completed next year (?) as planned, undoubtedly, the area will replicate figuratively and literally the Araneta Center.

Having this in foresight, I hope the City Government of Naga is very much on hand in the development of the area to ensure that all infra development are in harmony towards developing a modern business center.

:ohno: Let the Central Bus Terminal not spoil the ambiance of this modernity. Having in existence for a number of years now, the Terminal I believe needs some refurbishment to match the ongoing development around it and not just remain a spoiler. Not only that. The terminal is the first thing that greets our visitors who opted to take bus to Naga and they get their first taste of what and how is Naga at this terminal. And if we believe the cliché, first impression lasts, the City Government should better consider now transforming the CBT into a first class terminal.

I hope Central Bus Terminal will soon get facelifting.:bash:

NAGA CITY, Philippines—A nephew of late Senator Raul Roco was gunned down by an unidentified assailant while he was jogging in this city Thursday morning, reports from the Naga City Police Office said.

Businessman Pablo "Jungie" Roco, a resident of San Felipe village here, was jogging with his wife in front of the Basilica Minore of Our Lady of Peñafrancia along Balatas Road when attacked at about 5:15 a.m.

"I heard two bangs. It was only later when I realized that the gunshots were directed at my husband," Roco's wife said, adding that she was about 50 meters away from him when the killing happened.

The victim, who sustained gunshot wounds in his chest, was brought to the Mother Seton Hospital in this city where he later died.

Roco reportedly just turned 44 on Wednesday.

Police said motive for the killing remains unclear and an investigation is underway.

In the wake of the latest shooting, the city government through peace and order committee chairman Councilor Jose Tuason proposed detailing more policemen in the area, which has now been deemed a "killing field."

Vice Mayor Gabriel Bordado said that after the killing, he immediately met with Senior Superintendent Edwin Jose Nemenzo, Naga City police director, on the matter.

"Two heavily armed police troopers usually guarded Balatas Road but no police personnel were there [at the time of the killing}."

A year ago, Paco Ojeda, administrator of the Naga City Public Market was gunned down on the same road—about 300 meters from where Roco was shot—also while he was jogging very early in the morning.

:tiasd:

Lucena Grand Terminal is bigger in terms of land area and volume of traffic. It is the nucleus of transport service in Quezon and nearby provinces unlike ours which caters only to buses.

Right now and in few more years, this bus terminal is still needed in this area while development there is not yet complete. But this early the city government should look for future site of a bigger terminal which will surely be required by a rapidly growing city like Naga.

Lucena Grand Terminal is bigger in terms of land area and volume of traffic. It is the nucleus of transport service in Quezon and nearby provinces unlike ours which caters only to buses.

Right now and in few more years, this bus terminal is still needed in this area while development there is not yet complete. But this early the city government should look for future site of a bigger terminal which will surely be required by a rapidly growing city like Naga.

:horse:

Well, i think Lucena Bus terminal is PROBABLY the biggest in Southern Luzon

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines’ influenza A(H1N1) tally inched closer to the 100th mark on Thursday as 15 new confirmed cases brought the country’s total to 92. But the Department of Health stressed that almost one-third of these patients have since recovered from the ailment.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III made the announcement at a regular briefing at the Department of Health (DOH) office. He said the latest batch of confirmed cases were all Filipinos, 10 males and five females, and all are mild ones.

He said four of the new cases have a history of traveling to the United States, Mexico, Japan and Singapore — countries that also have confirmed cases.

“We stress that there is still no community level transmission, that is why we are still in the containment stage," he said.

DOH briefings have been trimmed down from daily to just twice a week to prevent public fear from escalating further.

The department is preparing for the next stage in preventing the spread of the disease – the mitigation process where early detection is given more priority than contact tracing.

“During mitigation, however, the government will work closely with the World Health Organization to exchange information about the virus in our country to help us understand how the virus is evolving," Duque said.

The DOH has yet to confirm a case involving a student from the Elena Elementary School in Nueva Ecija. Classes at the school were suspended Thursday.

Duque appealed to all schools nationwide to continue coordinating with their respective local governments in case they receive reports of students developing flu-like symptoms.

Since May 1, the DOH has tested 698 people (classified as cases under observation or CUO) for the virus. A total of 562 tested negative and were sent home.

Forty-four cases have pending laboratory results, while 32 new CUO were added to the list.

In the WHO’s latest update, 27,737 cases from 74 countries have been recorded since the flu scare erupted in April, with 141 deaths.

As the figures continue to go up, WHO officials indicated that they are on the verge of declaring a global Pandemic Alert Level 6, the first in more than 40 years. - GMANews.TV
