NAGA CITY --- Ma. Lydia Perez-Lomibao, owner of J. Emmanuel Pastries of this city and Canaman, Camarines Sur, has been chosen as the only Philippine representative to the workshop on SME’s global market network sponsored by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

The gathering of entrepreneurs from all over the Asia-Pacific region dubbed “Workshop and Training on Developing Trade House for Strengthening SME’s Global Market Network” will be held at Mercure/The Phoenix Hotel in Yogyakarta, Indonesia on October 19-22, this year.

J. Emmanuel Pastries is an exporter of quality pili nut products in developed countries such as Japan, China, Australia, USA, and Canada. Its products are available in the shelves of selected SM malls in Metro Manila and Luzon and local pasalubong centers in Naga and Legazpi cities.

The workshop is especially designed to examine the roles of trading houses and SME’s direct exporters to local economic development. Experts from selected APEC member-economies are expected to present at the forum and share their experiences in trading house development across the APEC economies.

I Wayan Dipta, APEC SME Coordinator in Indonesia, said the workshop is a direct follow up activity similar to items in the 2008 SME’s ministerial meeting in Chiclayo, Peru, that sought for the establishment, growth and development of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises to increase their competitiveness in the global trading system. It is also intended to benefit women business owners to enable their larger proportion of involvement in global market and increase their entrepreneurial skills.

The workshop is also expected to work for the reduction of regulatory burdens and more effective regulatory practices in order to increase competitiveness of SME’s products in the global market.

Participants, some 60 of them, will come from APEC member countries such as China, Chile, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Thailand, and Vietnam and 20 more other countries. Each participant will be accompanied by his/her respective trade attaché for the 4-day meet.

APEC will shoulder the round-trip airfare of participants plus per diems at US$105/day for four days.

I truly admire the couple ( Joseph and Lydia Lomibao,owner of J. Emmanuel Pastries ) for their courageous and determination to continually improve their product and service. They are really a model of a 21st. century Entrepreneur. They have a store at the corner of SM food court going to the cinema and a number of stores inside CBD I.

Farmers train to produce cheaper organic fertilizer (http://camsur.com/CamSur-News/camsur-press-release/farmers-train-to-produce-cheaper-organic-fertilizer.html)

PILI, CamSur – Farmers from the various rice producing towns of this province will train starting on October 13 on Modified Rapid Composting (MRC), a method which transforms rice straws into organic fertilizers.

Now on its third season, the system of Modified Rapid Composting had been proven to be effective and efficient not only in providing good yield but also in substantially lessening the production cost of farmers resulting in increased profits for them.

Governor LRay Villafuerte has been resolute in his advocacy for local farmers to adopt the technology because it provides the solution to the perennial problem of spiraling cost of agricultural inputs that eat up quite a chunk of their income from their farmlands.
The first batch of farmers from the municipalities of San Fernando which will be the venue, along with Libmanan, Minalabac, Pamplona, Sipocot, and Pasacao will have their MRC briefing on October 13.

The same activity will be conducted on October 14 for the municipalities of Magarao as the venue , Calabanga, Canaman, Bombon, and Milaor.

On October 19, the training will be done in the town of Tigaon with participating farmers coming from the municipalities of Sagnay, San Jose, Lagonoy, Goa, and Ocampo.

Scheduled technical briefing on MRC in the fourth district will be conducted in the municipality of Nabua with farmers from the municipalities of Buhi, Bula, Baao, Bato, and Iriga City.

GREAT.. This is really good for our farmers towards a healthy and environmental friendly components , an alternative against Inorganic fertilizer that are too expensive and not good to our soil. Goodbye to Inorganic farming , goodbye to conventional farming.

GO GO GO ORGANIC FARMING .. TOWARDS A HEALTHY LIFE IN THE 21ST CENTURY .

Caceres to Open New Parish (http://voxbikol.com/bikolnews/1823/caceres-open-new-parish)

The Archdiocese of Caceres will have another parish on October 18, 2009 with the canonical erection of St. Peregrine of Laziosi with its seat at Sto. Domingo, Calabanga Camarines Sur. This will be the 79th parish of the archdiocese. The parish will be composed of barangays Sto Domingo, San Bernardino, Pagao, Dominorog, Balatasan, Punta Tarawal, Balongay, Carigsa and San Lucas, all within the municipalities of Calabanga, Bombon and Magarao CS.

Fr. Joseph Collada Olin will be the first parish priest of this rural parish of the vicariate of Our Lady of La Porteria. He will be formally installed as parish priest by the Archbishop, Msgr. Leonardo Z. Legaspi. OP, DD. on Oct. 18 at 8:30am at the Union Elementary School within the Holy Mass.

The establishment of new parishes is a sign of growth of the local church and its effort to reach out to all the people in remote places of the archdiocese. When the pastoral need arises, that is, the population of an existing parish is already too big to constitute one parish, we can begin to consider creating a new one. We discuss the feasibility in the Presbyteral Council and confer with the Parish priest/s of the mother-Parish concerned.

St. Peregrine was born in 1260 at Forlì, Italy to an affluent family. He lived a comfortable life as a youth, and politically opposed the papacy. After he was inspired by and experienced the forgiveness of St. Philip Benizi, he changed his life and joined the Servite order. He was ordained a priest, and later returned to his home to establish a Servite community. There he was widely known for his preaching, penances, and counsel in the confessional. He was cured of cancer, after he received a vision of Christ on the cross reaching out His hand to touch his impaired limb. He died in 1345 and was canonized in 1726. He is the patron of cancer patients.

Recently, the archdiocese has welcome the birth of another parish in Binanuaanan Pequeno , Calabanga under the titular patron Black Nazarene with Fr. Rex Palaya as its first parish priest.

The Archbishop said that God willing, the archdiocese will have 80 parishes before the end of the year. This is a fitting gift of the archdiocese to the people of God as we also celebrate the 300th year of Devotion to Our Lady of Peñafrancia.

Target would be around 100 parishes in the Archdiocese of Caceres before the 300th year anniversary of Our Lady of Penafrancia.

My admiration to our HARVARD graduate Archbishop Leonardo Z. Legazpi. Very effective management, a 21st century STRATEGIC PLANNER . A Truly a servant of GOD.

SPC acquires Naga power plant
By Donnabelle L. Gatdula (The Philippine Star) Updated Oct. 17, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - SPC Power Corp. acquired yesterday the 55-megawatt (MW) Naga Land-Based Gas Turbine (LBGT) power plant after concluding negotiations with the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM).

The Naga power facility is the seventh operating power plant successfully sold by PSALM this year.

In bagging its third power asset, SPC agreed to match the reserve price of $1.008 million set by the PSALM Board for the Naga-based power plant. The company’s initial offer was $429,488.

SPC is also the new owner of the 146.5-MW Panay and 22-MW Bohol diesel power plants, which PSALM bid out in November last year.

PSALM will issue a notice of award to SPC to formally declare the company as the new owner of the Naga LBGT as soon as the accuracy, authenticity, and completeness of the bid documents it had submitted are verified by PSALM’s Privatization Bids and Awards Committee.

Prior to its negotiated sale, the Naga LBGT underwent two unsuccessful biddings in April and June 2009.

Under its bidding rules, PSALM may opt to enter into negotiations with any interested party after two failed biddings.

Formerly known as Salcon Power Corp., SPC won the rehabilitation, operation, maintenance, and Management contract for the 203.8-MW Naga Power Plant Complex in 1994.

With the steady support of its partners, Salcon Philippines, Inc. and Salcon Limited of Singapore, SPC continues to contribute significantly to the country’s power sector.

Last March 25, 2009, in simple ceremonies, PSALM turned over the Panay and Bohol diesel power plants to SPC after the group paid in full its $5.86-million offer for the packaged power plants.

With the success of the Naga LBGT negotiations, PSALM has bid out a total rated capacity of 1,780 MW this year, spread among seven generating plants. These include the 600-MW Batangas (or Calaca) Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plant; the Power Barge (PB) 117 and the PB 118 rated at 100 MW each; the 620-MW Limay Combined-Cycle Power Plant; and the packaged 305-MW Palinpinon-Tongonan geothermal power plants.

I became of more aware of organic veggies, when my friend a cancer survivor, had been using organic foods. But other than health benefits are the ff.;

1. It's a growing business opportunities now this days, like the one in Magsaysay saturday Organic market, just at the front of Congressman Villafuerte's residence.

2. Using inorganic fertilizers destroys the soil nutrients , but it also cause climate change, by which the chemical fertilizers evaporates to the atmosphere that cause the destruction of the ozone layers. But using Organic components not only improves the soil nutrients but help the environment.

CamSur triathletes make waves in age-group tilt

Triathletes from the newly-formed Camsur Tri-team made waves in Sunday’s 5th leg of the 2009 National Age Group Triathlon Series at the Ayala Alabang Village in Muntinlupa City.

Camsur, which hosted the 1st Philippine 70.3 Ironman last August, entered five triathletes in the sprint race and two of them, Philip Atento and Mark Anthony Hosana, surprisingly dominated their respective brackets.

The 30-year-old Atento emerged as the best triathlete in the 950m swim, 30k bike and 6.5k run distance race with one hour, 36 minutes and seven seconds.

Atento, 47th overall in the recent 70.3 Ironman event, submitted the best split in the bike (45:57) and run (30:31) to atone for a slow 19:39 in the swim and claim the top honors in the 30-34 age group.

A far second was Joseph Victor Basa with 2:00:18 while Ronald De Leon took third with a slower 2:03:06 time.

Not to be outdone was 18-year-old Hosana, who triumphed in the 16 to 19 division with a respectable 1:47:48.

Hosana, a swimmer who competed in the 2008 Palarong Pambansa in Puerto Princesa and in the Camsur Ironman relay event, dominated regular triathlon participants Lorenz Mangahis (1:55:51) and Joshua Pe Benito (1:56:56).

Cagayan de Oro’s Brian Borling joined Atento and Hosana in the limelight as he topped the 20-24 age group with 1:39:28, the second fastest time among the participants overall.

The 22-year-old bike mechanic, who had the luxury of joining the national team’s training in Subic, shamed rivals Marnel Arnold Ratio (2:07:21) and Gregorio Jaci Mantaring (2:12).

Nicole De Guzman made the fastest time among the females, submitting 2:07:22 to claim the 30-39 age group and resident class titles.

Other winners in the sprint race were Reymark Dabu (25-29), Kirk Arambulo (40-44), Greg Banzon (45-49), and Philip Rynn (50-over) in the male division and Anne Catherine Hernandez (20-29) and Betsy Medalla (40-49) in the female class.

The Mini-sprint winners were Francisco Jose Santos (13-15), Nikko Bryan Huelgas (16-19) and Dexter Lorenzo (adult) in the male and Joey Santos (13-15) and Jennifer Fajardo (adult) in the female division. - GMANews.TV

CBSUA Is New State University in Camarines Sur (http://www.voxbikol.com/bikolnews/1846/cbsua-new-state-university-camarines-sur)

Jonas Cabiles Soltes
Sunday, October 18th, 2009

NAGA CITY-Camarines Sur province now has two state universities after the House bill seeking to convert Camarines Sur State Agricultural College (CSSAC) in Pili town into Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA) was signed into Republic Act 9717 by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Monday (October 12).

House bill 4360 was sponsored by Representatives Luis Villafuerte (Camarines Sur), Cynthia Villar (Las Piñas), Edcel Lagman (Albay), Exequiel Javier (Antique), Jesus Crispin Remulla (Cavite), and Bienvenido Abante Jr. (Manila). Its version in the Senate, Senate Bill 3192, was sponsored by Senators Manuel Roxas, Francis Escudero, and Edgardo Angara.

The bill was approved with amendments. One of the amendments provided that no degree program shall be offered by the university without the approval of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

The bill also provided that the university status could be revoked by the Senate committee on education and House committee on higher and technical education if the university failed to comply with the requirements to maintain university status.

The secondary school of the university will remain under supervision and control of the Department of Education.

The newly-incorporated university is expected to "provide both advanced instruction and research in agriculture and allied technological sciences including education, arts and related sciences."

It is also obliged to "undertake extension and development programs, and provide the necessary instructional and research leadership in agricultural, environmental mid technological development in the Bicol Region."

Senator Escudero said modernizing the agricultural sector in the Bicol region is very important, that the establishment of a "center of excellence" in agricultural education, research and development is necessary "to address and correct the continued decline in the performance of the region's agricultural sector."

CSSAC, now CBSUA, is located in San Jose, Pili, Camarines Sur. It started as an elementary school for boys during the American colonization

It became Camarines Sur Agricultural High School in 1923, and a chartered state college in 1982.

In 2000, through RA 8760 otherwise known as the Integration of CHED-Supervised Institutions (CSIs) to State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), Calabanga Polytechnic College (CPC) in Calabanga town and the Bicol Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) in Sipocot town were integrated into CSSAC.

The other state university in Camarines Sur is the Partido State University in Goa town, which was incorporated in 2001 through Republic Act 9029.

New Political Alignments Seen in Camarines Sur (http://www.voxbikol.com/bikolnews/1849/new-political-alignments-seen-camarines-sur)

Sonny Sales
Sunday, October 18th, 2009

IRIGA CITY (14 October)- Camarines Sur Fourth District Congressman Felix "Nancing" Alfelor Jr. confirmed during talks with newsmen here that the LAKAS-KAMPI ruling party had endorsed him as its official gubernatorial bet in Camarines Sur province.

Reportedly, Alfelor is also being eyed by Bikolano Presidentiable, Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) to be an adopted gubernatorial candidate for Camarines Sur.

Alfelor, however, said that he will decline any offer of an alliance with the NPC being the district chairman of the LAKAS-KAMPI in the Rinconada district of the province.

Since early this year, Camarines Sur Second District Congressman Luis R. VIllafuerte, former KAMPI national president, has maintained a political alliance with two other political top-guns of the province, namely Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Sec. Rolando Andaya Jr. and Cam. Sur First District Representative Diosdado "Dato" Arroyo. Both Andaya and Arroyo have endorsed Alfelor for the gubernatorial bet against incumbent Cam. Sur Gov. Luis Raymund "L-Ray" Villafuerte.

Alfelor aired optimism that after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has signed the re-apportioning bill into law which creates five political districts in Cam. Sur province, his gubernatorial bid under LAKAS-KAMPI will be further strengthened by the alliance of Villafuerte, Andaya, and Arroyo.

Meanwhile, it was reported that the local chairman of the Liberal Party, Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo who is supporting presidentiable Nonoy Aquino and Mar Roxas, will also field a gubernatorial contender.

In a related development, Gov. "L-Ray" Villafuerte is leaving the Lakas party and is joining Senator Manuel Villar's Nationalista Party (NP) to run as its gubernatorial candidate.

A mass oath taking ceremonies scheduled today that would have highlighted the bolting of prominent local political personalities led by Camarines Sur Governor LRay Villafuerte from Lakas-Kampi-CMD into the fold of the Nacionalista Party (NP) has been postponed due to inclement weather.

The CamSur governor along with other Lakas leaders of the province were set to take their oath of allegiance before NP president and presidential bet Manny Villar at the Provincial Capitol Convention Center here, Wednesday October 14 where about 30,000 leaders were expected to attend.

League of Municipalities President Nabua Mayor Fernando Simbulan, Vice Mayors' League President Nat Capucao, Councilors' League President Antonio Olaño and ABC President Glen Gontang will also take their oath and pledge of allegiance to the Nacionalista Party. (SONNY SALES)

Regular Train Runs In Bikol Delayed Further (http://www.voxbikol.com/bikolnews/1851/regular-train-runs-bikol-delayed-further)

Sonny Sales
Sunday, October 18th, 2009

NAGA CITY - REGULAR TRAIN RUNS, scheduled by the Philippine National Railways (PNR) originating from its Central Station in this city, will still be delayed as more test runs on two reconditioned engines, train engines 918 and 922, will be done from Naga City to Tagkawayan, Quezon Province and to Ligao City, vice- versa.

PNR Transportation Division Manager and Bicol Coordinator Constancio Toledano said that new batteries for the train engines have arrived and further test runs will be conducted to test the full capacity of the engines. The train engines were kept in the PNR motorpool since Sept. 2006

Earlier, PNR general manager Manuel "Ower" Andal had ordered the resumption of the commuter train service from Ligao to Tagkawayan using the reconditioned engines during the Peñafrancia festival; however, train engines have broken-down during the test trips last Sept. 16 and 18.

Toledano said this time they want to know the real capacity of reconditioned engines with the arrival of new spare parts and batteries.

The PNR official said the commuter train trips will start within the coming month with fares amounting to only half of that charged by buses.

According to Toledano fare rates were set at P150 pesos from Ligao City, Albay to Tagkawayan, Quezon; P60.00 from Tagkawayan to Naga; P40.00 from Naga to Ligao City; and P20.00 from Naga to Iriga City.

Meanwhile the constructed P 24-Million Central Train Station in Naga City is on its completion stage. Toledano said that the contractor Hi-Grade Construction firm is finishing the installation of the office and facility furnishings before the building is turned-over to the PNR.

Reportedly, Andal had set the inauguration rites of the PNR Central Station in Naga within the month of October this year, with President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo gracing the inaugural rites. (SONNY SALES)

THE Philippine animation sector remains animated, despite the piracy of talents and the increasing cost of technology.

“We have available creative, skilled and talented artists and animators, but they are pirated by other countries, which is a good opportunity for some,” Animation Council of the Philippines Inc. (Acpi) board director Grace Dimaranan told the BusinessMirror in an e-mail interview before the First Philippine International Cartoons, Comics and Animation (Picca) Festival which opens today, Thursday.

The Picca festival, organized by its eponymous nonprofit group, aims to “act as watershed international forum in the Philippines for cartoons, comics and animation.” It comes before Acpi’s animation festival in November.

“ let’s face it, not all people are artists; not all students possess the creativity and skill to draw,” Dimaranan said, adding that only a small percentage of students take up multimedia and animation.

“Not all will graduate and excel in what course they took. In the animation business, creativity, art design and concept, drawing is the No. 1 requirement; secondary is the knowledge to use tools like the computer or a specific software to enhance their works.” But at least the computer arts in animation has improved a lot, she said.

Dimaranan said there are more schools today than three years ago that students with a talent for animation can enroll in.

Beginning in 2006 schools that began offering multimedia arts and animation include the College of St. Benilde (traditional and digital), [B]Ateneo de Naga University (3D animation), Phoenix One/The Knowledge Institute, Information and Communications Academy (2D and digital animation), Asian College of Science and Technology, Korea-Philippines IT Training Center (2D and 3D animation), and the Mapua IT Center.

These schools have campuses in Manila, Baguio City, Cabanatuan City, Bicol, Pampanga, Cebu, Bacolod, Dumaguete, Iloilo and Zamboanga, according to Dimaranan.

Likewise, she said the government has begun supporting the industry as the Acpi curriculum in 2D, 3D and Flash animation “is now promulgated nationwide.”

She said the 49-member council has been helping the Department of Education develop a curriculum in technical and vocational public high schools. The curriculum covers visual arts and graphic design and animation.

Dimaranan said Acpi and the Commission on Higher Education are currently developing the curricula for BS Entertainment Computing (BSEC) major in game development and BSEC major in digital animation.

Contrary to popular belief, she said, “It is not the software or the hardware that makes good three-dimensional movies or multimedia presentations.”

Instead, “it’s the individual that uses this equipment and software that drives the look and final output,” she explained. And, while the technology helps, it comes at a steep price.

“We also need to upgrade the skills of the current manpower who are very good in the arts, traditional animation into digital graphics or digital animation and latest graphic software.”

However, she admits that doing so is difficult since the cost of software and hardware for animation is really expensive.

“Not all studios or companies can afford to buy 10 to 20 software licenses at one time for training and production use. The quick changes of technology and digital software also prevent some companies to buy or invest immediately.”

The more common software used in the industry are mostly sold by companies from the United States like Autodesk Inc. (3D Maya), Toon Boom Animation Inc., USAnimation Inc., and Adobe Inc. (Flash for production and adobe products).

“It’s the talented and skilled students that we lack. Again, this is not like a course for [the] call center, commerce or nursing [industry] that can easily attract students.” She believes creativity and drawing skills are in-born.

“Or you have a background for the arts to be passionate enough to pursue and excel in it.”

Dimaranan said the industry could combat the creeping shortage in talents by training more manpower to supply the sector.

According to the Acpi web site, there are about 50 small- and medium-animation studios in the Philippines that provide jobs to 5,000 animators who are directly and indirectly involved in animation. It estimates the Philippine animation industry’s annual growth phase of 25 percent is “solid.”

Camarines Norte couple strikes gold in swine-raising
Agri-Commodities
Sunday, 18 October 2009 19:23

DAET, Camarines Norte—With the two heads of high-breed swine they started with over 10 years ago, a couple of former government employees here discovered swine-raising to be a “gold mine.”

Now, middle-aged Rafael and Mergie Moraleda of this capital town have 150 heads within a family-owned 3.5-hectare piggery farm with eight swine housing units, a feed mill and a modern breeder house in barangay Calasgasan.

They were also able to establish an agricultural supply store at the downtown, two meat shops, a 15-bedroom hotel, two units of delivery trucks, two cars and send their children to expensive schools.

Both Rafael and Mergie are graduates of Agriculture with animal husbandry as line of specialization and were once employed as livestock inspectors of the Department of Agriculture (DA). They, however, decided to leave government service in 1998 during the implementation of the devolution of employees under Republic Act 7160 or the Local Government Code.

That turn of events challenged them to venture into the livestock production industry that made a fortune for the family, which Mergie said could not be achieved had they not chosen to give up their government service to be able to put up their own business.

“We applied our knowledge in livestock-raising and acumen in this line of business. We also practice modern piggery farming using new technologies for disease-free livestock and quality products. Swine raising 10 years ago was quite different from how it is today. Much has changed especially on the technologies and even raiser’s perception,” Rafael said.

He said that within four years after starting with their two heads of breeder pigs, they were able to expand to 50-sow level through a production loan obtained from the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP). After a year, the loan was paid and their stocks rose to a 100-sow level.

As of last week, the couple’s farm had a 150-sow level using the P10.5-million loan from the Agriculture Comprehensive Enhancement Fund obtained from the LBP through the DA, Rafael said.

“We are determined to keep this business afloat by way of keeping ourselves always abreast with the latest technologies in livestock-raising suitable to our budget and place,” he said.

Their farm, he said, has farrowing stalls provided with adequate space and ventilation for growing-finishing stocks. “I myself prepared the lay-out and design of the farm considering distances of adjacent housing units to facilitate the easy and convenient transfer of pigs from one building to another as required by its growth,” he said.

Rafael said that one of the important factors to consider in swine production is the availability of adequate feeds. For them, however, he said it was never a problem because the farm blends its own feeds.

The couple also runs the family-owned RNM Poultry and Agricultural Supply where they sometimes source out feeds. “This way, we can maintain regular feeding schedules, which is 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.,” Rafael said.

Water is sufficient as they have deep well for drinking and cleaning and to maintain cleanliness. Rafael said manures are collected, dried and mixed with carbonized rice hull and later made into organic fertilizer used in rice and vegetable farms nearby.

He said that odor and flies are controlled in the farm because of the effective microorganism or EM. He regularly sprays the surrounding and also the manure to eliminate odor.

“Sanitation is a must to prevent swine diseases although we conduct regular vaccination for the herd and keep records of vaccination program and reproductive performance for better management,” Rafael said.

The couple also upgrades their stocks to ensure quality piglets and animals.

The Moraleda farms produce weanlings that are sold to other animal raisers and local government units for their livestock restocking; fatteners for consumption of local markets reaching as far as Naga City and breeders for stock enhancement.

Mergie said marketing is not a problem for them as they are under contract with Lehman, a company that owns a chain of big meat shops in Naga City and other parts of Camarines Sur to supply 75 heads of fatteners every month. Aside from this, the family also runs their own meat shops here that raise an average of P18,000 daily income. PNA

New Political Alignments Seen in Camarines Sur (http://www.voxbikol.com/bikolnews/1849/new-political-alignments-seen-camarines-sur)

Sonny Sales
Sunday, October 18th, 2009

IRIGA CITY (14 October)- Camarines Sur Fourth District Congressman Felix "Nancing" Alfelor Jr. confirmed during talks with newsmen here that the LAKAS-KAMPI ruling party had endorsed him as its official gubernatorial bet in Camarines Sur province.

Reportedly, Alfelor is also being eyed by Bikolano Presidentiable, Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) to be an adopted gubernatorial candidate for Camarines Sur.

Alfelor, however, said that he will decline any offer of an alliance with the NPC being the district chairman of the LAKAS-KAMPI in the Rinconada district of the province.

Since early this year, Camarines Sur Second District Congressman Luis R. VIllafuerte, former KAMPI national president, has maintained a political alliance with two other political top-guns of the province, namely Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Sec. Rolando Andaya Jr. and Cam. Sur First District Representative Diosdado "Dato" Arroyo. Both Andaya and Arroyo have endorsed Alfelor for the gubernatorial bet against incumbent Cam. Sur Gov. Luis Raymund "L-Ray" Villafuerte.

Alfelor aired optimism that after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has signed the re-apportioning bill into law which creates five political districts in Cam. Sur province, his gubernatorial bid under LAKAS-KAMPI will be further strengthened by the alliance of Villafuerte, Andaya, and Arroyo.

Meanwhile, it was reported that the local chairman of the Liberal Party, Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo who is supporting presidentiable Nonoy Aquino and Mar Roxas, will also field a gubernatorial contender.In a related development, Gov. "L-Ray" Villafuerte is leaving the Lakas party and is joining Senator Manuel Villar's Nationalista Party (NP) to run as its gubernatorial candidate.

A mass oath taking ceremonies scheduled today that would have highlighted the bolting of prominent local political personalities led by Camarines Sur Governor LRay Villafuerte from Lakas-Kampi-CMD into the fold of the Nacionalista Party (NP) has been postponed due to inclement weather.

The CamSur governor along with other Lakas leaders of the province were set to take their oath of allegiance before NP president and presidential bet Manny Villar at the Provincial Capitol Convention Center here, Wednesday October 14 where about 30,000 leaders were expected to attend.

League of Municipalities President Nabua Mayor Fernando Simbulan, Vice Mayors' League President Nat Capucao, Councilors' League President Antonio Olaño and ABC President Glen Gontang will also take their oath and pledge of allegiance to the Nacionalista Party. (SONNY SALES)

I became of more aware of organic veggies, when my friend a cancer survivor, had been using organic foods. But other than health benefits are the ff.;

1. It's a growing business opportunities now this days, like the one in Magsaysay saturday Organic market, just at the front of Congressman Villafuerte's residence.

2. Using inorganic fertilizers destroys the soil nutrients , but it also cause climate change, by which the chemical fertilizers evaporates to the atmosphere that cause the destruction of the ozone layers. But using Organic components not only improves the soil nutrients but help the environment.

By the way...what are the differences between organic and genetically-modified vegetables? Do you have any idea?

Wastewater Treatment Plants to Rise in Naga (http://http://www.naga.gov.ph/journal2/?module=popup&page=2&id=1490)

Email this article | Post a comment

NAGA CITY --- Another set of landmark projects that will dovetail the city’s phenomenal march to progress and development will soon break ground with the expected launching of the P10.5 million Naga City Wastewater Treatment Project and the ambitious MNDC-led P68 million Septage Management Facility and Treatment Plant, the first of its kind in Bicol, if not in South Luzon.

Naga City Mayor Jesse M. Robredo disclosed that on March 16, this year, consultants from the Czech Republic will be coming once more to this city to finally present to him and the concerned city hall project managers and stakeholders the design and financial analysis of the proposed wastewater treatment facilities for both the Naga City Public Market and the City Abattoir as well as the Metro Naga Sanitary Landfill.

Last Tuesday, Director Abet Bercasio of the Metro Naga Water District left for Dumaguete City to discuss with top consultants of the United States Assistance for International Development (USAID) on the proposed septage management facility for the city that will see its implementation effective this year, in accordance with the intents of the Clean Water Act that require the proper handling and dislodging of liquid and solid wastes and other pollutants emanating from households and business establishments.

Bercasio said the general plan and design for the septage management facility will be laid out during the meeting that will also set the timetable for project implementation, as well as the project’s funding requirements.

The project calls for the regular dislodging of waste deposits accumulated by household and business establishments’ septic tanks and drainage systems for wastewater treatment in an offsite plant before they are discharged to the river and other bodies of water. The solid wastes collected, on the other hand, will be processed or transformed into organic fertilizers.

City Environment and Natural Resources Officer Oscar Orozco said that painstaking effort has been pursued during the past three or four years through partnerships with various stakeholder groups and concerned NGOs and barangay councils in the preservation and protection of the Naga River. He said the time has now come to construct water treatment plants based on the project studies completed after due consultation and dialogues with pro-environment experts, technical engineers and the stakeholders themselves.

“This is not a project done overnight, but a vision borne out of a comprehensive master plan for the city’s infrastructure, utilities maintenance and general engineering development,” City Mayor Robredo was quoted as saying. He explained the twin projects, involving water treatment and septage management, are a product of long, diligent and comprehensive feasibility study, dovetailed as they are by numerous infra and socially-relevant programs whose success have been recognized and lauded by various NGOs and international financial and development institutions, such as the USAID and World Bank.

While the drawing boards of the city environment office, the city planning office and the city engineer’s office have been busy honing the city’s waste water and drainage master plan, two private water treatment plants in the city, without much fanfare, had already been put up and continue to operate as early as 2006, under the guidance and encouragement of the city government. These are the upgraded P6 million water treatment plant of Mother Seton Hospital and the P3 million treatment plant of E-Mall. As a result, only clean, treated liquid wastes from these big establishments are discharged, or drained into the river.

The same will happen when both the city public market and the city abattoir have completed their respective waste water treatment plants that will not take more than a year to complete.

Indeed, the increasing economic activity in the city has placed a great strain on the city’s water resources and put the health of its residents at risk, a study shows.

On the average, before the disastrous fire that hit its second and third floors last year, stallholders and the buying public at the city public market consumed a monthly total of 9,450 cubic meters of water, generating approximately 8,033 cubic meters of wastewater. This represented 85% of the water consumed. It is estimated that the volume of wastewater is expected to increase to 11,700 cubic meters in five years. The project aims to serve 100% of the current and the projected wastewater volume that a rehabilitated public market will require.

The proposed wastewater treatment plant will be located adjacent to the city’s public market that will cover some 384 square meters. It will mainly treat the wastewater generated from toilets and the wet section of the market.

The proposed wastewater treatment system for the abattoir, on the other hand, will be located within its plant at Bgy. del Rosario. At present, the city abattoir has a waste stabilization pond that is not fully functional due to ponds that are undercapacity. Moreover, the pond can no longer efficiently treat the big volume of effluent generated by the growing number of animals being slaughtered everyday.

The average number of livestock slaughtered daily is 165 hogs and 26 large cattle. This translates to 9,706 kilograms of meat daily or 291,200 kg per month. Orozco said wastewater volume is placed at 70 to 100 cubic meters daily.

Of the livestock kept and slaughtered at the abattoir, about 1.5 to 2 tons of solid wastes are estimated to be discharged daily, which volume -- if converted into methane gas as renewal energy -- will be enough to energize the light and power needs of the plant. Hence, Orozco said, the slaughterhouse wastewater treatment plant project would be maximized to include utilization of cheap renewable energy.

Bicol utilities invest in environmental projects to ensure potable water supply

Due to its geological location, the Bicol region is vulnerable to acts of nature like volcano eruptions and drought. But lately, because of the galloping growth in regional population and commerce it is also becoming more and more vulnerable to irresponsible human acts like deforestation and pollution.

Recognizing these facts, some water districts in this region have started to invest in modest environmental protection and preservation projects, all invariably geared towards not just ensuring sustainability of natural water resources but more importantly their safety and fitness for present or future use.

Prime examples of these water utilities are the Metro Naga Water District (MNWD) and the Camarines Norte Water District (CNWD), operators of the water supply systems of Naga City and the provincial capital of Daet and six other adjacent towns in Camarines Norte, respectively.

The MNWD has since the early 90s been maintaining a watershed development project covering some 317 hectares of available watershed area in Mt. Isarog in coordination with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA), Plan International-Bicol and the Rotary Club of Naga City.

According to MNWD public relations officer Manny Alcantara, implementation of the watershed development project was triggered by a series of extended droughts spawned by the El Nino phenomenon in the 90s that severely hit the Bicol region specifically, Metro Naga Water District's two main water supply sources in Mt. Isarog, the Anayan and Rumangrap springs. Before the droughts, water supply production from the two spring sources were already dwindling due to deforestation which was the handiwork of a few squatter families who converted vast tracts of land in the watershed for agriculture, Alcantara added.

Armed with a Memo of Agreement with the DENR in 1993 for the reforestation of the said portion of Mt. Isarog serving as the water district's watershed and provided with a P1 million seed money by LWUA for the project, MNWD went about restoring forest cover of the watershed while developing alternative relocation sites and livelihood to the affected squatter families. The water district also started to organize the affected household as co-protectors of the watershed known as the MIGs for Mt. Isarog Guardians.

Alcantara said the MNWD also concluded another MOA with Plan International and the Rotary Club of Naga City in 1994 for the rehabilitation and development of the 200 hectare portion of the watershed. Termed as the "Water for Naga Project", the joint undertaking carried substantial financing and provisions for community livelihood development for the settlers. It is during this period that the settlers were formally organized into the Anayan-Rumangrap Village Corps (ARVC).

The MNWD, said Alcantara, has since taken the cudgels for the continuance and maintenance of the project through its own Watershed Development Project Management Office (WDPMO) headed by engineer Vic Rubio, providing organizational direction and manpower to the overall development and protection of the 317-hectare watershed area in Mt. Isarog.

Meanwhile, apart from also maintaining a comparatively smaller watershed development and protection project of its own near its main water source, the Boro Boro Springs in the mountains of Labo, Camarines Norte, the CNWD has also recently launched a watershed education training program for local farmers.

CNWD public relations officer Antonia Ramores said the program was an offshoot of several documented cases showing that pesticides, notably those banned and highly toxic have polluted underground and surface water sources globally. One of the documented cases involve a dam being used in Baguio City.

Ramores said the spring sources and pumping stations of the CNWD , as in most other water districts, are located in agricultural lands where pesticides and other toxic substances are employed in farming, rendering the natural water supply sources susceptible to possible chemical contamination.

Through the program, Ramores said, CNWD endeavors to ensure that its water sources are free from pollutants caused by the use of banned and highly toxic pesticides by unknowing farmers. She said that the main aim of the program is to orient the farmers on the hazards of using the so-called Dirty Dozen, a listing of 12 toxic and banned pesticides which are usually dumped in Third World countries by unscrupulous traders.

Another major objective of the program that is being undertaken in coordination with the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist and the Regional Crop Protection Center of the Department of Agriculture is to promote organic farming particularly among farmers tilling soil in areas near sources of water.

Ramores said the CNWD is confident that the program will duplicate the modest success achieved by the water district in its watershed development and protection project in the uplands near its main water source in Boro Boro Spring.
Significantly, both Alcantara and Ramores reported that since their respective water districts invested in environmental protection and preservation undertakings, notably watershed projects, they have not experienced the same problems that they have had in the past with the adequacy and quality of water supply.

The water districts involvement in environmental protection and development has also improved their corporate image and standing in their local communities. But those are but minor gratifications in their drive to make sure that the water they supply to their concessionaires is not only adequate but more importantly, safe to drink.

Parcel 10 of Proclamation 573 (http://www.napocor.gov.ph/WMD%20WEBPAGE/mandates/proclamation%20573%20(parcel%201,9,10).htm) declares Barit River –Lake Buhi as Forest Reserve which was given to the National Power Corporation for energy generation purposes. Also known as Buhi-Barit Watershed Reservation, it is located in the municipalities of Buhi, Sangay and Iriga City in the province of Camarines Sur containing an area of 18,379.8 hectares.

LAKE BUHI-BARIT HYDROELECTRIC PLANT

The Plant was constructed on February 5, 1955 and was placed in commercial operation in September 10, 1957. The Plant, which consist of a single generating unit, has a rated capacity of 1.8 MW and a dependable capacity of 1.8 Megawatts.

It is housed in a 2,267.63 sq. m. compound and can be accessed through the provincial road linking the City of Iriga and the town of Buhi.

Buhi through Barit River is the main source of water of the plant. Water power is supplied from a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 3,313,478 cu. m. and a useful storage capacity of 1,188,978 cu.m. It has a drainage area at dam site of 140 sq. km. and has a reservoir length of 0.135 km.

PROGRAMS

Protection and Maintenance

To ensure the protection of resources found within the Reservation against illegal activities such as logging, squatting, and unauthorized harvesting of other forest products, BBWAT conducts regular patrolling, manning of checkpoints as well as apprehension and confiscation activities.

Watershed Rehabilitation

One of the major tasks of BBWAT is to plant open and denuded areas within the Reservation. Reforestation is done to minimize the occurrence of floods, minimize air pollution, control soil erosion, and will somehow sustain the generation capacity of Buhi-Barit Hydroelectric Power Plant.

Aside from planting forest trees to rehabilitate open and denuded portions in the Reservation the Unit also conducts structural (ripraps, gabions and check dams) and vegetative (planting of trees and grasses such as ipil-ipil, kakuate, and bamboos), erosion control measures in areas where erosion is eminent.

Extension and Community Development

Communities play an important role in the protection and conservation of the resources found within the Reservation. Recognizing their role, the Unit provides them with information through school lectures, distribution of billboards and posters and trainings. The unit also involves the communities in tree planting activities and provides livelihood assistance through the Animal Dispersal Program.

Lectures are being conducted in all barangay schools from primary to secondary level within the host communities. Titles include informative topics / issues such as resource conservation, illegal logging and relevant policies and rule and regulation.

Biodiversity Conservation

To enrich the collection of forest tree species as well as to conserve the diverse flora of the watershed, the Unit collects/gathers wildings of different species particularly the endemic (species that is common in the watershed ones that are being propagated in the nurseries.

Fishery Resources/Reservoirs Management

To prevent fish population from depleting particularly the "sinarapan" the Unit conducts routine patrolling in the fish sanctuary located in the southeastern portion of the lake. This area is regularly being monitored through a motorized boat against fishing and other activities.

Iriga's Colonial Economy (http://kulakog.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html)

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GUJLfdMVP5c/SWqzZn1scAI/AAAAAAAAAGU/AEwaCdC6v5I/s400/racelisaart.jpg (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GUJLfdMVP5c/SWqzZn1scAI/AAAAAAAAAGU/AEwaCdC6v5I/s1600-h/racelisaart.jpg)
A 1950 drawing of the agricultural-based activities in Iriga by local artist, Lars Racelis.

In 1820, Lt. John White of the U.S. Navy brought home to Salem in Massachusetts a sample of abaca rope from the Philippines. This began what would become the abaca boom in the Bicol region as shipyards in the U.S. finding the cordage from abaca far better and stronger than the hemp from South America, boosted the demand for the native fiber. From 1860 until the start of the 20th century, Bicol was the main producer of the fiber plant; and Iriga, was one of the major areas planting the crop. Abaca was the Spaniards' cash crop in Bicol as tobacco was to the Ilocos, coffee to Batangas and sugar cane to Negros which they promoted and propagated as answer to the end of the lucrative galleon trade. This was the main reason why the Americans came to Bicol and why the marching order for Gen. Kobbe was to ensure the continued production of abaca in the region.

Abaca brought prosperity to Iriga that in a report to the Philippine Commission in 1905, Governor Juan Pimentel of Ambos Camarines noted that "The condition of the districts of Daet and Lagonoy and of the pueblo of Iriga is one of relative comfort for the main reason that the principal product is hemp, of which 355,641 piculs were produced in the fiscal year, 5,483 hectares having been planted with this valuable textile plant." Abaca was the reason why in the middle of the 19th century, several foreign travelers have visited the pueblo and left records of their sojourn, and why some of them had eventually settled for good like the Basque Francisco Lamiel, Miguel Sarrato, and Ramon Feced (not the journalist Pablo Feced or Quiapquiap as erroneously claimed by Arejola biographer, Evelyn Caldera Soriano), or the Batangueno Abella family. Their landholdings at the foot of Mt. Iriga, however, were not as extensive as the sugar haciendas in the South as to leave traces of progress, like the colonial houses in Negros that were testimony to the sugar boom. Neither did these abaca planters utilized mechanized operations in the stripping of abaca as to make them competitive and responsive to this early local experience of globalization.

Thus by the 1920's, with the decline in the demand for abaca in the world market and the competition posed by the Japanese abaca planters in Davao, Bicol became a picture of economic stagnation. The same picture, which, aggravated by the long-entrenched kind of Manila-centered, patron-based politics practiced by the region's leaders, would remain to this day. In the words of Norman Owen, the abaca trade brought "prosperity without progress" in the region.

The abaca era of Iriga is worth examining as this was an epoch that had so much ecological and social implications and lessons for the present. These include the displacement of the Agta with the acquisition by private owners of what otherwise would be considered today as ancestral domain; the eventual sociological effect of this displacement like crime and brigandage rampant in the mountain area; the degradation of the mountain environment through monocropping; which can explain the current flooding in the city; and the demographic movement and economic growth of Iriga at the turn of the century.

The same route of the abaca also happened to another agricultural product which contributed to the early economic growth of and made Iriga a favorite destination of pioneer settlers, the tang-id or ilang-ilang (cananga odorata, from the Javanese word, kananga). The production of perfume from the flower was noted early on in 1881 by the French traveler Alfred Marche in writing about the livelihood of the Agta he met at the rancho of Ramon Feced. By the end of the 19th century, Iriga was one of the biggest sources of the oil extracted from ilang-ilang, supplying perfume distillers based in Escolta like Stahl and Rumcker (which was eventually bought by the German owners of Botica Boie), and Legarda and Tuason. Both pharmaceutical firms won gold medals for their ilang-ilang perfume, which became a hit in Europe, during the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. According to a 1908 testing conducted by the Bureau of Science, the Iriga oil (from ilang-ilang) "approaches first-grade in quality."

However, profligate agricultural practices where farmers just cut the whole trees in harvesting the flowers, the competition posed by other ilang-ilang oil producing countries like Madagascar, an exacting quality standard now demanded by international markets like Europe, a powerful typhoon which struck central Bicol in 1913 as recorded in Easton vs. Diaz & Company, (a case involving the sale of an alambique used for distilling ilang-ilang oil) which destroyed known ilang-ilang plantations in the region; and a raw material supply-side kind of economic activity that did not venture or convert into modern distillation processes; eventually spelled the demise of the high-value agriculture-based product.

Indeed, the land and its cultivation, that is agriculture, was the early economic source for Iriga. Mt. Iriga, with its abaca and ilang-ilang plantations also yield considerable volumes of bejuco or rattan which the natives made into furniture. Unfortunately, the kind of rattan which grew in the area did not come to par with the standard of the export market. As a 1906 report said: "At Iriga and Pamplona rattan beds and chairs are manufactured imitating those of the same kind imported from Hongkong, and though they are a fair imitation the quality of rattan is not as good as that from which the Hongkong articles are made. Horse raising was another land-based economic activity. As recorded in a 1904 report of the Governor General of the Philippine Islands, "At one time this locality was famous for its ponies." Rinderpest, a deadly epidemic which hit the cattle industry in the region also wiped out stocks of horse-raisers, affecting the local economy in general.

By the first decade of the 20th century, however, the agriculture-based economy of Iriga would shift to a service-oriented activity with the start here in 1914 of the operations of ALATCO, the country's first organized bus transportation company, established by a former U.S. Quartermaster Corp veteran, Albert Louis Ammen. World War II, thereafter would greatly affect its operations, that by 1954 its ownership passed hands to the Tuasons, who in turn would sell their interests in the company to a corporation which also changed the name of the bus company to Philtranco. After 1946, the challenge of responding to the demand for higher education among the young, and rebuilding from the destruction wrought by the war, ushered in the establishment of local colleges in Iriga like the present University of Saint Anthony, University of Northeastern Philippines and La Consolacion Academy. In summary therefore, before the schools, agriculture as exemplified by abaca and ilang-ilang, and transportation service, as represented by ALATCO were the two main reasons for the relative economic growth of Iriga. After the war and after the establishment of local colleges, there is no new or other novel reason offered by Iriga to attract people to come and settle in the city, the way the abaca and ALATCO did in their times. This is the contemporary challenge of the city.

Environ expert urges dev’t of Laguna Lake to end floods (http://www.tribune.net.ph/business/20091012bus4.html)
10/12/2009

The rehabilitation, reclamation and development of Laguna Lake are the keys to end the constant flooding of Metro Manila and its suburbs while creating the longest lakeshore park in the world, 220 kilometers in length, worthy to be called one of the wonders of the world. This is a nutshell is the advice and gist of a copyrighted study done by Dr. Benedicto Dorado, a medical doctor cum environmentalist.

"I am calling on President Gloria Macapagal (Arroyo) to pave the way to implement my study, a milestone for our country as her legacy to the Filipino people before her term ends by creating another wonder of the world, the longest lakeshore park in the world, a dollar earning tourist attraction and job generation project. She will achieved a twin-pronged program: Solve Metro Manila flooding and at the same time build a residential-business complex cum lakeshore park, a mega-coastal city within the surrounding existing cities at present. This ambitious but doable project will not only generate jobs and entire investments from here and abroad but will be a lasting Filipino testament to the world," Dorado said.

According to Dorado, the lakeshore development of Laguna de Bay can be replicated with modifications in other Philippine lakes such as Lanao Lake in Mindanao, Lake Buhi in Camarines Sur, Taal Lake, Sampalok Lake and Mainit Lake.

"As a first step, we need to dredge both Laguna Lake and Pasig River to assure a flood-free metropolis. So as not to disrupt the livelihood of the fishermen and maintain the lake’s ecological balance, dredging of Laguna Lake should be done in phases per 37.5 kms zone (six months phase for every zone). For fishes to complete its spawning to maturity cycle, at least six months is needed. This we have to do alongside proper solid waste management and reforestation," Dorado further explained.

Dorado spent 10 years formulating his vision of Laguna Lake into a mega-coastal city teeming with fresh fishes while boasting of a lakeshore park reclaimed from the dredged silt. He said that dredging the whole of Lagula Lake of embedded silth that have accumulated through the years, Laguna Lake will be restored to its original depthness ranging from 6.3 meters at its lowerst portion to 50 to 60 feet at its Diable Pass portion located between Cardona and Talim Island.

[QUOTE=hakz2007;44825212]By the way...what are the differences between organic and genetically-modified vegetables? Do you have any idea?

Genetic Modified ( GMO or GM) plants produces high yield crops compare to Organic crops. GMO's purpose is to maximize profit. Like for example Corn crops. But the "touchy issue" here is that GMO's are man made modification of plant tissues adding animal hormones or genetic material to produce a hybrid plant but other scientist had made a finding that it cause cancer to people eating this GMO. Anyway unknowingly we had been eating GMO crops for a longer time now. This is really controversial issue even as today.

Camarines Norte couple strikes gold in swine-raising (http://businessmirror.com.ph/component/content/article/53-agri-commodities/17397-camarines-norte-couple-strikes-gold-in-swine-raising.html)

DAET, Camarines Norte—With the two heads of high-breed swine they started with over 10 years ago, a couple of former government employees here discovered swine-raising to be a “gold mine.”

Now, middle-aged Rafael and Mergie Moraleda of this capital town have 150 heads within a family-owned 3.5-hectare piggery farm with eight swine housing units, a feed mill and a modern breeder house in barangay Calasgasan.

They were also able to establish an agricultural supply store at the downtown, two meat shops, a 15-bedroom hotel, two units of delivery trucks, two cars and send their children to expensive schools.

Both Rafael and Mergie are graduates of Agriculture with animal husbandry as line of specialization and were once employed as livestock inspectors of the Department of Agriculture (DA). They, however, decided to leave government service in 1998 during the implementation of the devolution of employees under Republic Act 7160 or the Local Government Code.

That turn of events challenged them to venture into the livestock production industry that made a fortune for the family, which Mergie said could not be achieved had they not chosen to give up their government service to be able to put up their own business.

“We applied our knowledge in livestock-raising and acumen in this line of business. We also practice modern piggery farming using new technologies for disease-free livestock and quality products. Swine raising 10 years ago was quite different from how it is today. Much has changed especially on the technologies and even raiser’s perception,” Rafael said.

He said that within four years after starting with their two heads of breeder pigs, they were able to expand to 50-sow level through a production loan obtained from the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP). After a year, the loan was paid and their stocks rose to a 100-sow level.

As of last week, the couple’s farm had a 150-sow level using the P10.5-million loan from the Agriculture Comprehensive Enhancement Fund obtained from the LBP through the DA, Rafael said.

“We are determined to keep this business afloat by way of keeping ourselves always abreast with the latest technologies in livestock-raising suitable to our budget and place,” he said.

Their farm, he said, has farrowing stalls provided with adequate space and ventilation for growing-finishing stocks. “I myself prepared the lay-out and design of the farm considering distances of adjacent housing units to facilitate the easy and convenient transfer of pigs from one building to another as required by its growth,” he said.

Rafael said that one of the important factors to consider in swine production is the availability of adequate feeds. For them, however, he said it was never a problem because the farm blends its own feeds.

The couple also runs the family-owned RNM Poultry and Agricultural Supply where they sometimes source out feeds. “This way, we can maintain regular feeding schedules, which is 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.,” Rafael said.

Water is sufficient as they have deep well for drinking and cleaning and to maintain cleanliness. Rafael said manures are collected, dried and mixed with carbonized rice hull and later made into organic fertilizer used in rice and vegetable farms nearby.

He said that odor and flies are controlled in the farm because of the effective microorganism or EM. He regularly sprays the surrounding and also the manure to eliminate odor.

“Sanitation is a must to prevent swine diseases although we conduct regular vaccination for the herd and keep records of vaccination program and reproductive performance for better management,” Rafael said.

The couple also upgrades their stocks to ensure quality piglets and animals.

The Moraleda farms produce weanlings that are sold to other animal raisers and local government units for their livestock restocking; fatteners for consumption of local markets reaching as far as Naga City and breeders for stock enhancement.

Mergie said marketing is not a problem for them as they are under contract with Lehman, a company that owns a chain of big meat shops in Naga City and other parts of Camarines Sur to supply 75 heads of fatteners every month. Aside from this, the family also runs their own meat shops here that raise an average of P18,000 daily income. PNA

CamSur gov, Naga mayor say redistricting 'won't push through' (http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/regions/10/19/09/camsur-gov-naga-mayor-say-redistricting-wont-push-through)

by Rizza Mostar, ABS-CBN Bicol | 10/20/2009 12:21 AM

NAGA CITY - Camarines Sur Gov. Luis Raymond Villafuerte and Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo believe redistricting in Camarines Sur will not push through this coming elections.

Both officials said they support Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III's opposition to the redistricting which was recently signed into law by President Arroyo.

Several municipalities in the current first and second legislative districts were consolidated to create the new district. These are:

* municipalities of Libmanan, Pamplona, Pasacao and San Fernando in the first legislative district; and,
* municipalities of Gainza and Milaor in the second legislative district.

Signed on October 12, the law--An Act reapportioning the composition of the first and second legislative districts in the province of Camarines Sur and thereby creating a new legislative district from such reapportionment--brings to five the total number of legislative districts in the province.

The law, which was published on Oct. 15 in the Manila Standard Today newspaper, is set to take effect 15 days after publication.

A legal case however is now being studied and prepared by the latter to at least delay its implementation.

The approval of Republic Act 9716 or reapportionment bill in Camarines Sur shows not only “political accommodation” to former first district representative and Budget and Management Secretary Rolando Andaya, according to the officials, but also an unconstitutional move.

Villafuerte said the law was passed immaturely with the wrong formula. For one, the population requirement for a district was not met.

This was seconded by Robredo, who said that the law was approved by political power.

He also disagreed that constituents of the district are in favor of the redistricting.

Local officials were not even consulted, according to the mayor, before the bill reached the House or the Senate.

A temporary restraining order will be expected before the deadline of filing of certificates of candidacies.

Meanwhile, Comelec has reportedly come out with a resolution stating the status quo or maintaining the four districts of Camarines Sur this 2010.

Another resolution from the commission is still expected strengthening the previous resolution aside from the TRO.

If nothing blocks the effectivity of the law however then Comelec said that elections with the additional congressional candidates will eventually follow.

CBSUA Is New State University in Camarines Sur (http://voxbikol.com/bikolnews/1846/cbsua-new-state-university-camarines-sur)
Sunday, October 18th, 2009

NAGA CITY-Camarines Sur province now has two state universities after the House bill seeking to convert Camarines Sur State Agricultural College (CSSAC) in Pili town into Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA) was signed into Republic Act 9717 by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Monday (October 12).

House bill 4360 was sponsored by Representatives Luis Villafuerte (Camarines Sur), Cynthia Villar (Las Piñas), Edcel Lagman (Albay), Exequiel Javier (Antique), Jesus Crispin Remulla (Cavite), and Bienvenido Abante Jr. (Manila). Its version in the Senate, Senate Bill 3192, was sponsored by Senators Manuel Roxas, Francis Escudero, and Edgardo Angara.

The bill was approved with amendments. One of the amendments provided that no degree program shall be offered by the university without the approval of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

The bill also provided that the university status could be revoked by the Senate committee on education and House committee on higher and technical education if the university failed to comply with the requirements to maintain university status.

The secondary school of the university will remain under supervision and control of the Department of Education.

The newly-incorporated university is expected to "provide both advanced instruction and research in agriculture and allied technological sciences including education, arts and related sciences."

It is also obliged to "undertake extension and development programs, and provide the necessary instructional and research leadership in agricultural, environmental mid technological development in the Bicol Region."

Senator Escudero said modernizing the agricultural sector in the Bicol region is very important, that the establishment of a "center of excellence" in agricultural education, research and development is necessary "to address and correct the continued decline in the performance of the region's agricultural sector."

CSSAC, now CBSUA, is located in San Jose, Pili, Camarines Sur. It started as an elementary school for boys during the American colonization

It became Camarines Sur Agricultural High School in 1923, and a chartered state college in 1982.

In 2000, through RA 8760 otherwise known as the Integration of CHED-Supervised Institutions (CSIs) to State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), Calabanga Polytechnic College (CPC) in Calabanga town and the Bicol Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) in Sipocot town were integrated into CSSAC.

The other state university in Camarines Sur is the Partido State University in Goa town, which was incorporated in 2001 through Republic Act 9029.

Opposition to Dato’s Dam Project Mounts (http://voxbikol.com/bikolnews/1847/opposition-dato%E2%80%99s-dam-project-mounts)
Sunday, October 18th, 2009

LUPI, CAMARINES SUR (14 October) - OPPOSITION TO THE CURRENT CONSTRUCTION of the P1.9-Billion, Malaguico Dam Project in Barangay Malaguico in Sipocot, Camarines Sur has gathered momentum with local residents in the affected towns of Lupi and Sipocot now expressing deep concern over the displacement of more than 300 families along the riverbanks of the Pulantuna River in Lupi town, even as local government estimates claimed that affected families could reach 500 or an estimated 20,000 individuals.

The dam project is sponsored by First District Representative and Presidential Son, Diosdado "Dato" Arroyo, as part of a promise to farmer-constituents.

Sources at the Sangguniang Bayan of Lupi revealed that currently there is a pending Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between National Irrigation Administration (NIA) Bicol director William Ragodon and Lupi Mayor Raul Matamorosa to conduct a topographical survey at the cost of some P6- Million, to determine low-lying areas, properties, and residences that will be affected by the possible rise in water-level at the up-stream of the dam.

Earlier, NEDA source in Legazpi City said that cost of the topo-survey will be provided by NIA and will be disbursed by the Lupi-LGU to the contracted surveyor.

However, sources here said that local villagers have become jittery that thousands of residents will be displaced and that they are uncertain how much the government will be compensating them for their affected lands once they are displaced.

Meanwhile, an LGU source here said that earlier estimates by NIA of 300 affected families could actually reach 500 with the inclusion of villagers from the Poblacion, Colacling, San Rafael Sur, San Pedro, San Isidro, Barrera Jr. and Tapi, all in Lupi town.

An official here said that during super typhoon "Rosing" in 1995, when the Manangle Railway Bridge collapsed blocking the flow of the Pulantuna River, floods reached the commercial site of Lupi in Colacling, Belcross and the Poblacion.

A government employee here also said that sentiments on the dam construction are now revealed in the website: www.lupicontradam.tk and the www.lupimunicipalityning.com.

Meanwhile in Sipocot, Camarines Sur, Vice-Mayor Rogenor R. Astor bared that concerned sectors had asked the Sangguniang Bayan to conduct a public consultation on October 15 concerning their sentiments on the Malaguico Dam Project.

Reportedly, residents were apprehensive that recent floods in Metro Manila and suburbs will also be a reality in this locality.

Astor said that since limited public hearing were conducted by NIA and BRBWMP on the dam-project, even public officials in Sipocot were kept in the dark on the consequences of the up-stream and down-stream flow of the dam during calamities.

Astor also revealed that engineers of the NIA and BRB are unaware that the water level in the artery-rivers of Bigaan, the Bicol River, and the Pulantuna River, where the dam is being constructed had risen in previous years. Debris from the structures of the old Tara bridge, bombed by rebels in 1987, and of the collapsed Manangle Railway Bridge are still in the river channels, Astor said.

These debris add to the flooding at the river bank localities, Astor explained.

He added that the down-stream flow of the dam will threaten villages of Malubago, South and North Centro, Azucena, and Awayan both in Sipocot and Libmanan towns during typhoons, as was the case during the 1995 flash floods.

Astor also reported that a local rally protesting the dam construction is seeking a Mayor's permit in Sipocot on October 17.

City councilor wants LRay out of Plaza Rizal immediately (http://planet.naga.ph/city-councilor-wants-lray-out-of-plaza-rizal-immediately/)

NAGA CITY --- Reminding that Camarines Sur Gov. L-Ray Villafuerte?s time in Plaza Rizal is up, a city councilor who once served as the city legal officer asked the perovince?s top executive officer to leave the plaza immediately following a Supreme Court decision that places the city-based plaza under the administrative control and supervision of the city government.

?As an honorable governor, the most prudent and appropriate for you to do is to leave Plaza Rizal immediately,? City Councilor Nelson S. Legacion stressed in a privilege speech he delivered during the Sangguniang Panglunsod regular session here last Tuesday, Oct. 13.

On Sept. 18, 2009, the Supreme Court promulgated a decision which read, thus ?? the local government unit that is the proper agent of the Republic of the Philippines that should administer and possess Plaza Rizal is the City of Naga.?
The same decision also held that ?allegation of ownership by the provincial government [of Camarines Sur] by continuous adverse possession since time immemorial does not hold water.?

Legacion noted that with the Supreme Court decision, the provincial government of Camarines Sur has been illegally occupying the Plaza for the past 51 years since Naga became a chartered city on June 18, 1948 that effectively placed all properties within the city, including Plaza Rizal, under its territorial jurisdiction.

?The city of Naga had consistently been very patient and respectful of the law and the processes of the courts; let us therefore call on the province of Camarines Sur to do the same and obey the recent decision of the Supreme Court,? Legacion said.

?Tama na! Sobra na an 51 anyos!? (Enough is enough; fifty-one years is too much), the city councilor lamented as he called on those occupying the plaza and the merchants who leased it for a flea market to leave quickly the hallowed ground. ?Magharale na tabi kamo dyan sa Plaza Rizal! Irespeto po nindo si Gat. Jose protacio Rizal! Irespeto po nindo an mga residente kan siyudad,? Legacion made his plea in the local language.

In the same privilege speech Legacion said that with the legal victory, it would be remembered that former City Legal Officer Rolando Bobis (who is now RTC judge in Labo, Camarines Norte), incumbent City Legal Officer Angel Ojastro III and Legacion himself as former city legal officer were the legal advocates who worked hard in the courtl battles from the RTC, to the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court.

?Credit should likewise be given to our city mayor who, as always, had been very supportive of the quest to recover Plaza Rizal and who even served as the guiding light throughout the entire judicial process,? the city councilor stressed. He also wanted to share the sweet legal victory with the faithful followers of Dr. Jose Rizal and the officers and members of the Knights of Rizal.

Legacion disclosed that it was Atty. Bobis who started it all as he was the one who thought of and initiated the filing of an action for declaratory relief in 1997.

Budget deficit widens to historic high P237 billion

FIGURE UNTIL SEPT. DOESN’T INCLUDE RELIEF SPENDINGS

2009/10/20

The government’s budget shortfall shot up to a record P237.5 billion in the first nine months even before the cost of the massive relief efforts from the devastations caused by torpical storm “Ondoy” that hit late September and typhoon “Pepeng” in early October was included.

The budget shortfall during the period was also 345 percent higher from a year earlier and P19.9 billion over the government’s target ceiling.

Finance Secretary Margarito Teves said the government is facing tough times, as he announced the government was considering selling assets to help balance the books.

IFAD to invest $71 million in agricultural development projects in RP
By Marianne V. Go (The Philippine Star) Updated October 21, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - The International Fund for Agricultural Develoment (IFAD) will invest at least $71 million in various projects in the Philippines as part of a five-year program that runs from 2010 to 2014 and focuses on strategic opportunities.

Sana F.K. Jatta, IFAD country manager for Asia and the Pacific, said there are three pipeline projects for negotiation, namely the Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Program, $20 million; the National Agricultural Value Chain Development Program, $30 million and the Coastal Resource Management and Value Chain Develoment Program, $20 million.

Since 1978, the IFAD has committed a total of $168.8 million for 12 projects related to agricultural development in the Philippines.

Targetted beneficiaries are upland poor households; entrepreneurial poor in selected rural areas and selected and marginalized poor communities dependent on coastal resources in Bicol, Eastern Visayas, Northern Mindanao and in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao.

Among the IFAD’s latest projects are the Northern Mindanao Community Initiatives and Resource Management Project; the Western Mindanao Community Initiatives Project; the Rural Microenterprise Promotion Program and the Rapid Food Production Enhancement Program (RaFPEP).

Yesterday, Jatta concluded and signed with Reynaldo A. Villa, chairman of the Commission of Audit (COA), the terms of references of a contract for COA to undertake the management and financial audit of paddy seeds acquisition and distribution activities under the Rapid Seeds Supply Financing Project (RaSSFIP) for the 2009/2010 cropping seasons.

Director Frisco Malabanan of the Ginintuang Masaganang Ani Rice program said the DA is targeting the procurement of 803,000 bags of 40-kilogram certified inbred seeds for distribution in an equivalent 803,000 hectares. Malabanan said the seed distribution program had started last month.

The RaSSFIP is one of two sub-programs that form part of the recently approved RaFPEP which is being managed by the Department of Agriculture.

RaSSFIP has a total cost of $23.44 million.

The total cost of RaFPEP is $42.24 million spread over seven years, starting in 2009. It is being financed by an IFAD loan of $15.9 million equivalent to about 37.7 percent of the program cost); a European Commission grant of $13.15 million equivalent; a Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) technical assistance grant of $500 million; Philippine counterpart funding of $9.82 million; counterpart funding from local government units of $1.97 million; an in-kind beneficiary contribution of $400,000 and lastly a possible IFAD grant of $500,000 next year.

The financing agreement for the EC and IFAD contributions to RaFPEP was signed last Sept. 2.

Magsaysay strip should be reserved to resto and bars. Don't you think?

i just hope Mayor Jess and Gov Lray will have a united position against this proposition, the Arroyo's administration is over, partitioning the province just to give way for Dato? i hope Mayor Jess and Gov Lray should reconcile and fix their differences after all they are relative by blood. and i just hope that Liberal Party will not field candidate for governorship against Gov. Lray

They should join forces, and as a symbolical gesture, LRay should turn over Plaza Rizal to Robredo before the latter's end of term.

NPC Mass Oath-Taking? Where was it held? Who were the attendees?

Did Shakey's closed down along Magsaysay? I remember eating there for lunch once with my family when we took the south road going home to Legazpi about two or three years ago. I did not see it in the list.

Shakey's in Magsaysay? Are you referring to the one in Avenue Square? I don't know if it's closed or not, but I can say it won't close. Lots of people are hanging out at the Avenue and Shakey's food isn't too pricey at all. And it's enlisted. It's at number 6 of the first set. :)

P700-M CamSur dam receives wide support (http://businessmirror.com.ph/home/regions/17531-p700-m-camsur-dam-receives-wide-support.html)
Regions
Written by Danny O. Calleja / Correspondent
Tuesday, 20 October 2009 20:53

NAGA CITY—Local officials, church leaders and thousands of rice farmers in Camarines Sur have banded together to support the ongoing P700-million irrigation dam project in the province amid apprehension that it may also trigger floods when completed and put into operation.

Opposition to the project mounted following massive flooding reportedly triggered by the release of huge volumes of water from several dams in Metro Manila and several parts of Luzon at the height of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng.

“Discontinuing this project would mean a waste of money on the part of the government and lost benefits for the nearby communities and thousands of farmers tilling the over 4,000 hectares of rice land that will be irrigated by the dam,” Lupi town mayor Raul Matamorosa told the BusinessMirror over the weekend.

The view was shared by town mayors Theresa de la Peña of Sipocot, Rodolfo Jimenez Sr. of Libmanan, and Totoy Genova of Cabusao. These four Camarines Sur towns are within the 312,164-hectare Bicol River Basin that will be directly benefited by the project.

Considered the biggest irrigation dam to rise in the Bicol region, the project, called the Libmanan-Cabusao Dam (LCD), is now being constructed by the National Irrigation Administration along the Sipocot River in barangay Malaguico, Sipocot town.

It is under the irrigation-modernization component of the Bicol River Basin Watershed Management Project (BRBWMP), which allocated P1.9 billion for the project. Constructing the dam will cost P700 million. The rest of the fund will go to the building of access roads and water-distribution channels, and the rehabilitation of existing irrigation structures.

The project is part of the government’s commitment to provide Bicol with sufficient and efficient irrigation systems, as the region’s 200,000 hectares of rice lands are only 54-percent irrigated, according to assistant secretary Tomasito Monzon, the presidential assistant for Bicol and project management office head of the BRBWMP.

LCD would benefit over 3,000 farmers by expanding the reach of existing pump-irrigation systems in Libmanan and Cabusao towns from 2,900 to 4,000 hectares of rice lands; and increasing the annual net production value from P207.5 million to P593.6 million, Monzon said.

Msgr. Manuel Ricafort, parish priest of the St. James the Apostle Parish and vicar general of the Diocese of Libmanan, said the government should not ride the bandwagon of those who are unreasonably opposed to the project. Ricafort was among those who last year personally prodded President Arroyo into coming up with the project.

Cesar Adan, head of the 1,600-strong farmers’ group in the area, echoed Ricafort’s position, saying those who are opposed are actually sectors, not stakeholders to the project, who are unaware of its importance to the farmers and the community.

“We have longed for this project since time immemorial so that we are able to improve the quality of our families’ lives by way of maximizing the productivity of our rain-fed farms, which presently are capable of only producing one crop a year and sometimes none at all. Once irrigated, we can plant and harvest rice twice or even thrice a year,” Adan said.

Alejandro Nano, president of the 1,200-strong irrigators’ association in the Libmanan-Cabusao area, said LCD would mean a more efficient and cost-efficient irrigation facility for them, as it will do away with the existing pump system that entails about P7 million a year in fuel alone.

Fear that it would cause floods is baseless as unlike the San Roque Dam in the Northern Luzon, which is used for hydropower generation, and the other dams in Central Luzon that needs to store high volume of water, LCD is designed mainly for irrigation and, at the same time, serves as a flood-control structure, Monzon said.

Resettlement of the 300 families presently living near the project site and along river banks that would be affected by the rising of level of water due to the dam’s backwater is now being worked out by the BRBWMP, he said.

About P500 million from the President’s Social Fund and the National Housing Authority has already been made available for this purpose, Monzon said.

The resettlement is expected to be completed in the middle part of next year in time with the scheduled completion and start of operation of the LCD, he added.

Camarines Sur Nihongo proficiency program on "Bunkusai" Cultural Day (http://pia.gov.ph/?m=12&r=r05&y=&mo=&fi=p091020.htm&no=47)

by CR Fernandez

Pili, Camarines Sur (20 October) -- The provincial government's program on Japanese language proficiency continues to provide quality training on Nihongo to Camarines Sur constituents for free spearheading the "Bunkasai" or Cultural Day on October 16 at the Camarines Sur IT Park.

The program, debuted on February 15, 2005, has since undergone changes in its curriculum in order to ensure greater proficiency of the language for the graduates, giving them the edge in applying for work in Japanese owned corporations and outfits anywhere in the world.

Offering Level IV (Basic Conversational Skills Level) and Level III (Low Intermediate Level) at the onset of the program, now it offers Preparatory, Level IV, Level III and Level II (High Intermediate Level) conducted under the auspices of the Camarines Sur Japanese Language and Culture Center (CSJLCC).

The preparatory course (9 hours) is actually a new addition to the curriculum aimed at gradually introducing the students to Nihongo, allowing them a better grasp and appreciation of the language.

Gov. LRay Villafuerte, in his bid to overcome the "language barrier" which is actually the stumbling block not only for Filipinos but also for foreigners in penetrating the Japanese workforce, established CSJLCC initially called Japanese Language Learning Course (JLLC) by virtue of Sangguniang Panlalawigan Resolution Number 099 aimed at effectively addressing the problem, especially for his provincial constituents.

At present time, CSJLCC has produced 431 graduates in Level IV, 90 graduates in Level III and 20 graduates in Level II. Of said tally, 87 graduates are JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) passers for level IV, 44 graduates passed Level III and 2 graduates passed Level II respectively. Moreover, additional classes for preparatory course are slated to be held at its new satellite office in Naga City in order to accommodate more students upon the request of the public.

As a customary means of giving a foretaste of the rich Japanese culture, CSJLCC is once again holding a "Bunkasai" or Cultural Day which will showcase among others Ikebana Flower Making Contest, Calligraphy, Origami Making Contest, games and cultural competition.

For more information on the free Nihongo course and the schedule of classes, interested person may call CSJLCC at 473.03.92.

Camarines Norte feted outstanding OTOP stakeholders (http://pia.gov.ph/?m=12&r=r05&y=&mo=&fi=p091020.htm&no=48)

by RB Manlangit

Daet, Camarines Norte (20 October) -- Stakeholders of the One Town One Product (OTOP) in Camarines Norte were conferred with awards and certificate of assistance worth P50,000 during the 2nd Camarines Norte OTOP Congress held here last October 14.

Rodrigo Aguilar, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) assistant regional director, said the cooperation between the business sector and the local government units (LGUs) deserves the credit for the success of the OTOP which has gainfully brought relief and development to both the entrepreneurs themselves and development to the local economy as well.

Aguilar said the congress served as venue to recognized the initiatives and exemplary achievements of the program, consequently, encourage more aspiring and existing enterprises to venture into the product showcase of their locality.

He also cited the LGUs for their relentless support to the OTOP program, adding that DTI, on the otherhand, will continue to give financial and technical assistance to them.

For the Most Supportive LGUs, Labo town bagged the first place receiving a plaque of recognition, followed by the municipalities of Basud and Mercedes capping the second and third places, respectively, which also both received certificates of recognition.

Labo Progressive Multi-Purpose Cooperative topped the Outstanding Micro Small Medium Enterprise (MSME), which received a plaque of recognition. Caayunan Multi-Purpose Cooperative of Basud and the Abby's Pasalubong of Daet notched the second and third respectively, which also both received certificates of recognition.

A certificate of financial assistance for special project worth P50,000 was also awarded to some ten OTOP players who participated to the OTOP Congress, wherein funds were provided for through the Priority Development Fund (PDF) of Congw. Liwayway Vinzons Chato of the province's lone district.

Ernesto Pardo, DTI Camarines Norte provincial director, meanwhile said that it is the agency's goal to bring products on higher level by ensuring their good quality and massive production to cope up with the market demands.

OTOP products of the different municipalities include pineapple of Basud, mud crabs of Capalonga, pineapple-pili based products of Daet, fine jewelry of Paracale and Jose Panganiban, pineapple fiber products of Labo, processed marine products of Mercedes, pineapple beverage of San Lorenzo Ruiz, pineapple fiber of San Vicente, dalanghita of Sta. Elena, dairy products of Talisay and sweet pastries of Vinzons. (PIA CamNorte)

Joker: create new Camsur district first, let SC strike it down later (http://abs-cbnnews.com/nation/09/17/09/joker-create-camsur-district-first-let-sc-strike-it-down-later)

Pass the bill adding a new district to Camarines Sur province first and let the Supreme Court decide later on whether it is constitutional or not.

This was Sen. Joker Arroyo’s to his fellow senators in the plenary session Wednesday as the body deliberated on a proposal to add a new district to Arroyo’s home province.

Arroyo was responding to the interpellation of Sen. Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino who vowed earlier to block the passage of the bill in the Senate.

Favoring Dato

House Bill No. 4264, authored by Camarines Sur Rep. Luis Villafuerte, sought the creation of a new district in Camarines Sur. The province, which has a population of 1.4 million, currently already has four districts.

The bill, which was already approved on final reading at the House of Representatives, is touted to benefit the president’s son, incumbent Camarines Sur 1st district Rep. Dato Arroyo, by helping him hold on to his current seat in the House of Representatives.

This is because, observers say, creating the new district would prevent a direct contest between him and budget Secretary Rolando Andaya Jr., who used to hold the post. The first district has been the domain of the Andayas for decades. The young Andaya practically inherited the post from his father, the late Rolando Andaya Sr.

Arroyo for his part only migrated to Bicol after enrolling at the Ateneo de Naga in Naga City. He sought the congressional post after the young Andaya was appointed as budget chief following his third term as congressman.

Less than 250,000

Aquino, chair of the Senate committee on local government, opposed the passage of the bill as the new district would fall short of the Constitutional requirement of having at least 250,000 constituents. The new district would only have over 170,000 inhabitants.

As chair of the committee, Aquino was supposed to sponsor redistricting bills. Arroyo took the cudgels for the measure, however, when the former refused to sponsor House Bill No. 4264.

Arroyo argued that Article VI. Sec. 5.3 of the 1987 Constitution only specified the 250,000-population mark for cities, not provinces. The said subsection reads “…Each city with a population of least two hundred fifty thousand, or each province, should at least have one representative.”

“There is nothing in section 5 which talks about numbers. In subsection 3, the number’s for the city, there is no number for the province. The Constitution is silent,” he explained.

Arroyo said that objections to the proposed new district for Camarines Sur should not be grounded on the issue of constitutionality, a matter better left to the High Tribunal.

“Pass [the] Camarines Sur [bill], then let the Supreme Court decide,” he said.

Territoriality only

Asked by Aquino as to what requirements HB 4264 met for it to merit the approval of the Senate, Arroyo reasoned that the new district has “practicable, compact, contiguous, compact, and adjacent territory,” another requirement which, he said, preceded the specifications on the population in Sec.5.3.

Aquino however, insisted that Arroyo should not set aside the population requirement and insist on the legality of the new district just because it fit the territorial description.

“If the population requirement does not matter, we will just approve and approve all these measures from both houses on re-districting?” he bellowed.

Hehe. No worries. You know, I feel somehow glad when you post here in the Naga thread. Its much like you're bridging the invisible gap between the two threads. When I post in the LGP thread, kasi, I feel invisible. Nobody replies to me. :lol: Or maybe it's just me. :D

And I'm really glad that there's a construction boom in LGP. Thanks to your governor and mayor. :okay:

As far as I'm concerned, there is no gap to consider. We are free to post for as long as it is within the proper bounds. There should be no animosity between the two cities because we should consider Naga and Legazpi as the twin cities of Bicol. It will really complement each other if properly motivated.

I know. I don't know. I just feel it. But it's gonna be big if the two cities, and provinces as well, work together, like a joint economic or tourism project or something.

I want to post in your thread but all I can do at the moment is lurk and appreciate what you have silently. :)

good thing you raised that concern kevinb. honestly

I dunno if I saw what you said before. Basta gusto ko lang maging sobrang maayos ang Naga and Legazpi forumers. Silence between the two parties does mean something.

And some posts are deleted by moderators to avoid CvC (city vs city or country vs country) conflicts.

Well I keep on posting in this thread if I feel that I can give my two cents worth of ideas on current issues being discussed and appreciate what is happening in Naga. Since I started posting in SSC, it never occured in my mind that there should be a competition between the two cities until some over eager newbies stray into each other's thread. But now I think we have more or less succeeded in addressing that problem. The overexcited forumers have already mellowed down. :)

There are only two things to remember in posting: one, do not compare what one city has with the one of the other city, and two, do not criticize or make insult, of the othe city. Just follow these two simple rules, maogma kita gabos.

You are always welcome to post in the Legazpi thread Kevin and the Naga forumers for that matter.:okay:

But now I think we have more or less succeeded in addressing that problem. The overexcited forumers have already mellowed down. :)

I agree with the bold statements. Hehehe. Before SSC, I admit that I used to hate Legazpi. I learned that crab mentality is such immaturity that has to be eliminated. You, DrFeelGood (specially), Dex, Olineil and Monsi, the older ones (I mean by date of registration in SSC.:D) are the people who helped me change my views of the city.

The two cities are booming and their respective environs. There is no need to pull each other down. What we have to do is to know where are niches are and the two cities can make the entire region develop. It just thrills me with the idea of the two cities coming together and making things happen.

There are only two things to remember in posting: one, do not compare what one city has with the one of the other city, and two, do not criticize or make insult, of the othe city. Just follow these two simple rules, maogma kita gabos.

I know naman. And I totally avoid that, if you would notice.

Hehe. No worries. You know, I feel somehow glad when you post here in the Naga thread. Its much like you're bridging the invisible gap between the two threads. When I post in the LGP thread, kasi, I feel invisible. Nobody replies to me. :lol: Or maybe it's just me. :D

And I'm really glad that there's a construction boom in LGP. Thanks to your governor and mayor. :okay: As far as I'm concerned, there is no gap to consider. We are free to post for as long as it is within the proper bounds. There should be no animosity between the two cities because we should consider Naga and Legazpi as the twin cities of Bicol. It will really complement each other if properly motivated.

Maybe you were not asking questions so no one cared to reply. :) I know. I don't know. I just feel it. But it's gonna be big if the two cities, and provinces as well, work together, like a joint economic or tourism project or something.

I want to post in your thread but all I can do at the moment is lurk and appreciate what you have silently. :)

I dunno if I saw what you said before. Basta gusto ko lang maging sobrang maayos ang Naga and Legazpi forumers. Silence between the two parties does mean something.

And some posts are deleted by moderators to avoid CvC (city vs city or country vs country) conflicts.

Massive turnout marks NP mass oath-taking rites (http://camsur.com/CamSur-News/camsur-press-release/massive-turnout-marks-np-mass-oath-taking-rites.html)

PILI, CamSur – Some 50,000 leaders from all over the province flocked to the Provincial Capitol Complex for Nacionalista Party’s mass oath-taking ceremonies here, Tuesday, October 20 administered by NP president and presidential bet Sen. Manny Villar, formally marking Gov. LRay Villafuerte’s transfer to NP along with over a thousand other aspirants for various offices.

Observers comment the massive attendance highlights the NP as the biggest and most organized party in Camarines Sur in the coming elections.

With the multitude of people waiting for over four hours in anticipation for the arrival of the key personalities in the event, Sen. Villar and Gov. LRay disembarked in front of the Capitol main building to share the walk with the crowd en route to the main venue beside the CamSur Convention Center where even more people clad in orange shirts were waiting.
Dubbed as the most significant addition to NP’s roster of formidable candidates in the NP, Gov. LRay spearheaded the transfer of leaders in CamSur, mostly from the administration-backed Lakas-Kampi-CMD, to the NP in the historic gathering which slowed the traffic down to a grinding halt on the National Highway located just outside the crowded venue at the height of the gathering.

The colossal crowd left Sen. Manny Villar stunned as he stepped onstage for the event. During the interview, Sen. Villar stated that although the party has been welcomed with similar reception in other visits, the event was so far the best that NP has ever had.

Gov. LRay and Vice-Governor Salvio Fortuno, along with eight board members, nine mayors, 13 vice-mayors, 264 councilors, and 720 municipal leaders took their oath to the NP in the ceremonies administered by Sen VIllar together with key grassroots backers clad in orange shirts.

Also present were delegations from Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Masbate, and Camarines Norte. NP stalwart and regional chairman Albay Rep. Al Francis Bichara, NP spokesman former Representative Gilbert Remulla, and Atty. Adel Tamano attended the oathtaking rites.

CamSur Gov. LRay deserts Lakas, leads mass oathtaking to Villar’s NP (http://camsur.com/CamSur-News/camsur-press-release/camsur-gov-lray-deserts-lakas-leads-mass-oathtaking-to-villars-np.html)

PILI, CAMARINES SUR—Camarines Sur Gov. Luis Raymund “LRay” Villafuerte Jr., national chairman of the League of Provinces of the Philippines, bolted the Lakas-CMD which he served as deputy spokesman, and took oath as the latest biggest recruit of the Nacionalista Party (NP) headed by Sen. Manny Villar, bringing along with him Vice-Gov. Salvio Fortuno and over a thousand incumbent leaders of the province.

Villar administered the oath to the governor and vice-governor, along with eight board members, nine mayors, 13 vice-mayors, 264 councilors, and 720 municipal leaders in the province in ceremonies participated in by committed NP’s key grassroots backers clad in orange shirts at the CamSur Capitol Complex Cadlan, Pili, Camarines Sur.
Villafuerte said, “We believe in the leadership of Senator Villar, whose track record sets him apart from the rest of our presidential hopefuls. As the only one with a solid experience in the executive level, he will be able to govern the country from day one and achieve results. Having started from scratch and made his mark, his strength is what our calamity-torn country needs.”

“We trust that Bicol, which has been neglected for a long time, will be in a better condition with Senator Villar at the helm of governance,” said the governor, recipient of various awards such as the Outstanding Young Person of the World, Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Philippines for Entrepreneurship, the 2009 Presidential Citation for Best Practice in Tourism Development, Tourism Entrepreneur of the Philippines.

Villar said, “Having Gov. LRay and the people of CamSur as formidable partners in our pursuit to improve the lives of our citizens empower our efforts and delivery of results needed by the nation. I am deeply grateful for your overwhelming support.”

The governor further stressed, “The Nacionalista Party is the strongest and most organized in the province, fielding candidates from the provincial down to all municipal positions with a grassroots organization down to the precinct level in the forthcoming elections.”

League of Municipalities president Nabua Mayor Ferdinand Simbulan, Vice-Mayors League president Nathaniel Capucao, Councilors League president Antonio Olaño and ABC President Romeo Gontang were among those who took their oath. Also present were delegations from Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Masbate, and Camarines Norte.

NP stalwart Albay Rep. Al Francis Bichara, spokesman former Representative Gilbert Remulla, and Atty. Adel Tamano attended the oathtaking rites.

Villafuerte is credited for making Camarines Sur as the undisputed most favored tourist destination in the country today for strategic investments in tourism projects such as the CamSur Watersports Complex (CWC) and Caramoan developments. CamSur is now the number 1 tourist destination in the country based on DoT statistics of tourist arrivals from January to June 2009.

At the center of Villafuerte’s accomplishments is the construction of the CWC, the country’s biggest world-class cable park, which is venue to prestigious international wakeboarding competitions. Complementing CWC as alternative tourist destinations are the pristine beaches of Caramoan, which, through the development and promotional efforts of the provincial government, have been the setting for an entire season of "Koh Lanta Caramoan," the French version of the reality show "Survivor" aired across Europe with 12 million viewers. The French Survivor was followed by Israel, Bulgaria, Turkey and Serbia.

Equally among his outstanding innovative ventures is the Information Technology Park, a PEZA accredited special economic zone and the first and only such facility in the country owned and operated by a local government unit where the multinational Sutherland Global Services is now located with 700 seats presently working on double shifts and expected to be expanded to 2,000 seats before the end of the year.

The IT Park also has facilities for digital animation where the multi-awarded Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementalia was created; Japanese, Korean and English proficiency courses; medical transcription training.

With his entrepreneurial approach to local governance, Governor Villafuerte has transformed CamSur from the 39th rank among the most depressed provinces to tenth richest province in terms of net income and total assets, based on a Commission on Audit report after evaluation of year 2007 statements.

Camarines Sur, the largest province in the Bicol region, has a voting population of over one million. It is Bicol's no. 1 and 10th placer in terms of net income as certified by the Commission on Audit 2008 report for the fiscal year 2007 as submitted by 80 provinces.

Camarines Sur Governor Luis Raymond “LRay” Villafuerte, Vice Gov. Sal Fortuno, eight provincial board members, nine municipal mayors, 13 vice mayors, 264 councilors, and 720 municipal leaders were sworn as new members of the NP at the Capitol complex.

My people believe in the leadership of Sen. Villar. His track record speaks for itself and sets him apart from other presidential hopefuls. His solid experience in the executive level will be his strength and his background is what we need at this time, Gov. Villafuerte said during the oath-taking ceremony.

The governor further stressed the need of the Bicol provinces to improve economically. With Senator Villar at the helm, we trust that Bicol will no longer be left behind. We have been neglected for quite sometime, he said.

Having Gov. LRay and the people of Camarines Sur as formidable partners in my pursuit to improve the lives in this calamity-torn country, I believe we will achieve positive results, Sen. Villar said.

The oath-taking was the latest and biggest recruit of the NP for the past several years. The NP is one of the most organized parties in the province. We will field candidates from the provincial down to all municipal positions with grassroots organizations down to the precinct level come 2010, Villafuerte said.

Sen. Villar’s drive to deliver positive results in spite of many difficulties inspire many Bicolanos and push them to support his presidential bid. His down-to-earth attitude endears him to the grassroots followers.

Delegations from Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Masbate, and Camarines Norte were also present during the rites. Nacionalista Party Spokesman and former Representative Gilbert Remulla and Atty. Adel Tamano also attended the oath-taking.
