January 31 na ang anniversary natin sa bahay ni Pau:) akosijamir January 11th, 2010, 07:39 AM Hey mga Nagapeeps. I have another query. During the sixties and seventies and even up to the eighties there were two really big name industrialists from CamSur who really shone in Philippine business. Wigberto Clavecilla and Domingo Guevara. Clavecilla was one of the pioneers in the telecomunication industry. Since most of you here belong to the MTV-MYX generation, I don't know if anyone here remembers sending a telegram via the Clavecilla Telegram. I no longer read his name in the papers other than his son Iggy Clavecilla who is a champion amateur golfer. One thing I know though is that Wigberto Clavecilla was a Delegate to the 1971 Constitutional Convention representing CamSur. Domingo M. Guevara pioneered the manufacturing of the first Filipino made television sets. Remember Radiowealth? That was made by Mr. Guevara. It was just so sad that it was not able to sustain itself. It had a big chance of going international. His other company DMG, Inc., was the local assembler of Volkswagen which partcipated in the Progressive Car Manufacturing Program of President Marcos during Martial Law in the seventies. After the collapse of the Philippine economy after Ninoy's assasination in 1983, the automotive industry in the country also collapsed and so DMG's car assembly business. Mr. Guevara is one of the pillars of the Philippine automotive industry together with Ricardo Silverio of Toyota. I wonder where they are now. Do you have any news as to how these two great CamSur industrialists are doing now? ^^Doc and Sir Bob can answer them well Sir Gary as they belong to that generation (sorry, hehehe) thanks for the info sir gary... ma-researh daw ako about digdi... interesting.Ü oragon.com January 11th, 2010, 07:43 AM di na nakapagpigil...lahat na inilahad:lol: hehehe..magatol na kea kamot me.. hakz2007 January 11th, 2010, 07:43 AM ^^never heard of the Clavecillas and Guevaras.. garycooper January 11th, 2010, 07:43 AM January 31 na ang anniversary natin sa bahay ni Pau:) thanks for the info sir gary... ma-researh daw ako about digdi... interesting.Ü Messrs. Clavecilla and Guevara, I should say were pioneer Filipino industrialists long before the Filipino-Chinese dominated almost all industries in the country. I wonder if their efforts have already been recognized by our Bicolano leaders. hakz2007 January 11th, 2010, 07:48 AM Don Domingo M. Guevara (http://rfc.guevent.ph/e107_plugins/founder/founder.php) http://rfc.guevent.ph/e107_plugins/founder/images/founder.jpg IN STAUNCH DEFENSE OF FILIPINO PRODUCTS Where economic nationalism is, the call to patronize Philippine-made products should be loudest. This belief is exemplified by the government's continued pledge to bring local goods to the fore. Since the Commonwealth era, every president who sat at the helm of Philippine government has sought to uplift national industry by promoting locally manufactured goods. The catchphrase “buy Filipino” was first heard under the Commonwealth government of Manuel Roxas in 1946, following the birth of the National Economic Protectionism Association (NEPA) movement. Still in support of this, succeeding president Ramon Magsaysay was very expressive about his unwavering faith in Filipinos in their ability to progress under their leadership, management and initiative. When Mr. Magsaysay died in 1957, the promotion of local goods was carried on by his successor, then Vice President Carlos P. Garcia. President Garcia made the "Filipino First Policy" one of his flagship programs. The succeeding administrations, until now, have included the revival of this program in their respective economic agenda. However, it would seem that centuries of colonial rule, which urged most Filipinos to develop a liking for foreign goods, could not easily be dismissed by decades of product promotion, especially in light of globalization. There was a time, however, when domestic products almost rose beyond the reach of foreign competition, if not for the growth arresting interference of politics. In the 1950's, the country was on the verge of becoming the first "tiger economy" in Southeast Asia. At this time, the late Domingo M. Guevara figured prominently in the local business scene, being one of the entrepreneurs who helped the Philippines in reaching the status of a newly industrialized country. D.M. Guevara is said to personify the Filipino entrepreneur, industrialist and businessman that then President Magsaysay urged Filipino to become. http://rfc.guevent.ph/e107_plugins/founder/images/chair_lab.jpg A native Bicol province, he braved the course of progressive development in the manufacturing sector by coming out with enterprises that ranged from simpler lines of production to the more complicated. His flagship company, electronics firm Radiowealth, Inc., started as a small radio repair shop in 1930. The late entrepreneur certainly knew his way around the electronic business. His eldest brother Jose, was the proud owner of the very first radio unit that Bicol ever set its eyes on. D.M. Guevara had openly attributed Bicol's radio culture to his brother, who he regarded as his "idol", Jose, unfortunately, died of tuberculosis when he was only 23 years old. Before his demise, he bid his younger brother to take up studies on radio repair and maintenance. This is why, at age 16, D.M. Guevara began traveling to Manila to watch radio technicians do their work. During his spare time when he got tired of sightseeing around the city - he buried his nose on radio manuals to master the craft. From a small repair shop in 1930, his business grew to eventually cover the radio dealership. Later on, it ventured into importation and selling radio sets. Radiowealth also sold communications equipment such as transmitter and telegraphic keys on the side and its clientele included the Bureau of Posts and the United States Armed Forces in the Philippines. By 1951, the company was already assembling its own radio sets, with one of its products being the Claire de Lune, the local stereo famous for its distinct cabinet-type shell. This knack for quality electronic products merited the company honor and recognition and, in 1954, Radiowealth became the recipient of the "Electronics Firm of the year" award of the business Writers Association of the Philippines. Buoyed by this major feat, the company pioneered in the manufacture of television sets a year later. D.M. Guevara's second son, Reynaldo, attributes Radiowealth's success to the ability to meet customer satisfaction. "Dad had many satisfied customers. That became the strength," he said. Reynaldo Guevara is now Chairman of Guevent Industrial Development Corp., which is presently the holding company of the Guevara Group of companies. The expansion that Radiowealth embarked on in the mid-50s did not stop at manufacturing radio and TV sets. Radiowealth continued to cover a larger spectrum of the electronics business, branching out to manufacture other households appliances such as air conditioners, electric fans, and lawnmowers from 1958 to 1959. LOCAL TV. PICTURE TUBES http://rfc.guevent.ph/e107_plugins/founder/images/chair_tv.jpg By 1960, Radiowealth had already manufactured the first locally produced TV picture tubes. Also in this year, D.M. Guevara formed automotive company DMG, Inc. which was introduced to Filipino motorists. And the list of electronics and automotive-related products under the Guevara management grew. Even as the businessman strived hard to make his companies creditworthy, he also became active in politics. He ran for election as delegate to the 1971 Constitutional Convention, motivated by a vision to create a more conducive environment for heavy industry and enterprise. The bills he proposed focused on protecting the interest of domestic enterprises through tariff protection. He ardently supported resolutions that called for bringing wholesale business to national level and prohibiting importation of luxury products and exportation of raw materials that could be use in processing local goods. He was also a member and past president of NEPA, which over the years pursued its commitment to protect Filipino industries and factories. He was even one of the famous seven delegates who openly declined to sign the Martial Rule Constitution. In a foreword to D.M. Guevara's biography (written by Nick Joaquin and published in 1993), friend and erstwhile business associate Dominador Aytona said that throughout the businessman's career, "I saw him overcome inertia and resistance to change, exert the drive which defied regulation in attitudes to production of consumer durable goods…. He (had) a social conscience and (had) been an advocate of social justice. For he fought abuses of economic strength in order to close the gap between the powerful and powerless, between big business and small business, and between rich and poor, and in order to prevent domination of the economy by a few corporations… Above all, he (was) patriotic and a nationalist. For he (was) for the judicious use of scarce resources through the tariff mechanism, as well as for selective import and exchange restrictions, in order to develop a self-reliant and independent national economy effectively controlled by Filipinos." BUILDING MARKETS http://rfc.guevent.ph/e107_plugins/founder/images/chair_readers.jpg D.M. Guevara spent a lifetime trying to create a market of all-Filipino products. His dream was to uplift national industry by creating products that were 100% Filipino - from the raw materials to the labor to the finished products themselves. He firmly believed that this was the key to getting ahead of neighboring countries, especially in the lucrative industries of electronics and automotive. In addition, he strongly lobbied for the creation of distinct Filipino brand names. His son, Reynaldo, explained that aside from generating jobs and pioneering businesses, one of D.M. Guevara's greatest legacies to Philippine business was his struggle to bring Philippine made products to the fore. “What Dad was fighting for was to use Filipino names. It was maybe unfortunate that he did not realize that. All the time, America influence was very strong, and Americas were insisting on the use of RCA, Motorola, Admiral, Dad was fighting that. In the end, however, colonial mentality prevailed. That could have been also the downfall of Dad. Filipinos wanted foreign names. The Filipinos, unfortunately, did not have the same interest as the other Asian countries. Our nationalism is not strong. Japan is very strong on that. Korea is very strong in that. Their wanted their own names, their own identity, and they were able to do it. Mr. Guevara added: "Maybe that was where government support was lacking. I think, with more government support, we would have succeeded." To illustrate his point, Mr. Guevara pointed out how the administration of Ferdinand Marcos failed to protect the local automotives companies during his watch. Its impact was very much felt by DMG, Inc. which not only brought Volkswagen in, but was also poised to go into massive production of automotive vehicles. Mr. Guevara explained that, if fate and politics had been more indulgent, his father could have helped the Philippines in coming out with its very own brand of passenger cars. THE FIRST FILIPINO CAR http://rfc.guevent.ph/e107_plugins/founder/images/chair_1st.jpg In the 1960s, D.M. Guevara bought the manufacturing plant of the Ysmael Steel Company in Manila. This jumpstarted the production of cars, and by 1965, DMG was already catering to a customer demand that rose to 25,000 units. The manufacture of Volkswagen through the years made experts out of DMG, Inc.'s labor force. Such led to experimentation, and in 1969, the prototype of the first Philippine car with a Filipino name was assembled. It was called Sakbayan, or Sasakyang Katutubong Bayan, a box type two door passenger car. By this time, D.M. Guevara had developed a proposal for a government sponsored car manufacturing program that would encourage the production of cars in the country at minimum capital requirements and with little wastage of existing facilities. Shortly before the Martial Law, the Progressive Car Manufacturing Program (PCMP) was formed, and Volkswagen, along with Toyota, Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, was chosen to be among the participants. And o the Sakbayan, along with its bulkier truck counterpart, the Trakbayan, was produced under the PCMP. The program was aimed at closing the domestic automotive market to the importation of completely built-up (CBU) units. The government then selected five companies Volkswagen, Toyota, Ford, Chrysler and General Motors to participate. "The sad part is the all five companies lost money during that program," said Mr. Guevara. "There were two other companies Mercedes Benz and Renault who could not get in under PCMP. But during the time of Marcos they were allowed to bring in complete units without actually setting up the manufacturing and setting up manufacturing facilities required a lot of money." Mr. Guevara explained that the entry of tax free CBU's, which was contradictory to the very thrust of the PCMP (and which he openly called "rampant smuggling"), killed the local industry and rendered the program worthless. To make matters worse, the oil crisis in the early 1980's and the upsurge of interest rates added pressure on the business. The Guevara family could not turn to its other business, which included Radiowealth, Inc. and lending arm Radiowealth Finance, because these were likewise affected by the economic crunch. And so, like other companies at the time, DMG sought out government support. This move, however, brought ruin to the business, as DMG became vulnerable to the government's imminent take over. "When the economy started to falter, we tried to ask for government support, like the other companies. At the time, through some intermediaries, we were asked to negotiate with the Romualdezes in order for us to get some support. But Dad never agreed to the conditions. What he agreed to was that it had to be a buyout," said Mr. Guevara. Under the terms and conditions, a sum of P10 million was to be paid to the Guevara family as payment for DMG, Inc. After the turnover, the new owners were to manage the business and pay the sum in a succession of years. "Ten million pesos at that was a big amount. So we already turned over the company to Romualdezes, but we were not paid." He disclosed. Meanwhile, D.M. Guevara went into self-exile in the United States after the loss of DMG, Inc. He came home only after the ouster of Marcos. He decided against reacquiring the Volkswagen franchise in the post Martial Law years, however, because this already proved to be "uncompetitive" The (German currency) Deutsche mark kept on appreciating. The companies that were really more competitive were the Japanese companies, said Mr. Guevara. Instead, D.M. Guevara focused on his other business. This is the reason why the Guevent Industrial Development Corporation of today has long since dropped the less productive type of businesses in favor of more lucrative ones. At present, Guevent is comprised of Radiowealth Finance Company; G&S Transport Corporation; Aquatic Agro-Industrial Corporation; Honeycomb Builders, Incorporated; Pan-Mar Corporation (DBA Konig Importers N.A.); RFC (Hong Kong) Limited; Asian High-Technology Corporation; Tree's Company; G&S Travel and Tours, Incorporated; and Guevent Insurance Agency Incorporation. This diverse host of businesses is testament to how D.M. Guevara's business expertise did not wane through the years. He had plenty of help, of course, from his six sons and two daughters who are now at the helm of different businesses. TRUE ENTREPRENEUR Until the last days of his life, the Guevara patriarch remained a true entrepreneur. "Dad never really retired," his son said. As Chairman Emeritus of Guevent, he continued to be strong presence in Guevent's 3.3 hectare main offices in Mandaluyong. Incidentally, D.M. Guevara purchased the lot for only P2 per square meter in the 1950s. Today, the property is estimated at about P20,000 per square meter. Recently, Guevent tied up wit property developer Megaworld for the construction of high-rise establishment on the property. Before D.M. Guevara passed away in November 29, 1999 at the age 91, he kept abreast of the developments of Guevent. "He would just sit here and look pleasure in just talking with our executives who would just come and talk to him," said Mr. Guevara. The late entrepreneur even kept in touch by inviting key executives to lunch in his Wack Wack home about 15 minutes from the office to discuss important plans for company. He did not meddle with the decision-making, said Mr. Guevara, but instead freely gave his opinion and advice. "He forced us to make our own decisions. He would just wisely counsel us," Mr. Guevara. Even until now, said D.M. Guevara's daughter and GIDC Vice-Chairperson Carmen T.G. Monfort, the values their father taught are still considered when making major decisions. "We think twice when we make big decisions; we say that would Mom and Dad say? That remains at the back of our minds." garzland January 11th, 2010, 07:52 AM hehehe..magatol na kea kamot me.. Ka'ging alcohol :lol: ^^never heard of the Clavecillas and Guevaras.. Messrs. Clavecilla and Guevara, I should say were pioneer Filipino industrialists long before the Filipino-Chinese dominated almost all industries in the country. I wonder if their efforts have already been recognized by our Bicolano leaders. Thanks for this info, Sir Gary. Really sounds interesting. Unfortunately, haven't heard of them though I still reached the popularity of telegram service in the 80's and early 90's...My uncle used to work in telegram service before he put up his own business. Is telegram service still being used these days? garycooper January 11th, 2010, 07:56 AM Nice find Hakz. So DMG was also a Concon Delegate. I remember I got to meet one of his sons before who was involved in real estate development. So he passed away already.

How pleasurable to see a clean road like that! hakz2007 January 11th, 2010, 08:05 AM Clavecilla Radio System (CRS) (http://www.angelfire.com/pq/telecommunications/) The first privately-owned domestic telegraph company to operate here was the Clavecilla Radio System (CRS) which was issued a Congressional franchise in 1947. In 1960, Republic Act 2963 was enacted granting the Radio Communications of the Philippines, Incorporated (RCPI) a franchise to operate commercial radio telephony, radio telegraphy, television, coastal and marine communications for domestic and international operations. During the same year, Philippine Wireless, Inc. was granted a franchise, as per Republic Act 3006, to operate commercial telecommunication services within and outside the Philippines. At present there are seven domestic telegraph companies in operation.. They are the Philippine Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (PT&T), Radio Communications of the Philippines, Inc. (RCPI). BFC Corporation, Federal Wireless, Universal Telecommunications Service (UTS), Clavecilla Radio System (CR5) and the government Bureau of Telecommunications (now Telecommunications Office). In 1988 Globe MacKay Cable and Radio Corporation, an international carrier, together with the BPI Retirement Fund and the Ayala Employees Retirement Fund acquired the Clavecilla Radio System.. GPICR bought 387. of Clavecilla’s outstanding shares while BPI Retirement and AEWRF acquired 31% each. hakz2007 January 11th, 2010, 08:06 AM ^^that's the first branch of Chinabank here in Naga! garzland January 11th, 2010, 08:07 AM ^^Yup, the second will be at SM.

History of Globe Telecom (http://www.answers.com/topic/globe-telecom) In 1928, Congress passed Act No. 3495 granting the Robert Dollar Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, a franchise to operate wireless long distance message services in the Philippines. The Robert Dollar Company subsequently incorporated in the Philippines as Globe Wireless Limited and in 1934, Congress passed Act No. 4150 transferring the franchise and privileges of the Robert Dollar Company to Globe Wireless Limited. Globe Wireless Limited was subsequently renamed Globe Mackay Cable and Radio Corporation. Congress, through Republic Act 4630 enacted in 1965, further expanded its franchise to allow it to operate international communications systems. Globe Mackay Cable and Radio Corporation was closed in the Philippines by Martial law. Shortly before the expiration of its franchise, the Batasan Pambansa in 1980 enacted Batas Pambansa 95 granting Globe Mackay Cable and Radio Corporation a new franchise. On June 15, 1990, Isla Communications Co., Inc. (Islacom) was incorporated. Through Republic Act 7372, Islacom was authorized to develop full-service telecommunications network in the country. In 1991, Globe Mackay was subsequently merged with the Clavecilla Radio Corporation. Globe Mackay as the surviving company was renamed GMCR, Inc. and on March 19, 1992, the Philippine Congress passed Republic Act 7229 approving the merger and the transfer of the franchise of Clavecilla Radio Corporation to the surviving company to be renamed GMCR, Inc. In 1994, Islacom launched the country's first digital mobile communication services using GSM world standard digital technology. On 20 August 1998, the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the change of name of GMCR, Inc. to Globe Telecom, Inc. (Globe). hakz2007 January 11th, 2010, 08:17 AM ^^ang Globe pala ay nakipagmerge sa Clavecilla Radio Corporation. ^^Yup, the second will be at SM. Chinabank is owned by Henry Sy, right?

UDDIN Davao Today DAVAO CITY— The nationwide farmers’ caravan, calling for land and justice and urging people to oppose Charter change, will kick off on Tuesday in Davao City. Rep. Rafael Mariano of farmers’ partylist Anakpawis said that 7,000 farmers nationwide will join the 10-day caravan dubbed as “Pambansang Lakbayan ng Magsasaka para sa Lupa at Katarungan” (nationwide farmers’ caravan for land and justice). The caravan will start in Davao City, going to Butuan, Surigao, Leyte and Naga City in Camarines Sur before culminating in Metro Manila. The Lakbayan delegates in Davao City will include farmers from different provinces in Southern Mindanao. They will be joined by other delegates from Cagayan de Oro, Butuan, Surigao, and other provinces of Mindanao. In Davao city, they will hold a protest program at the Freedom Park before a torch parade towards the office of House Speaker Prospero Nograles along Quirino Avenue where they will burn a copy of Carper Law (Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program extension with reforms) to symbolize their protest. lakbayan-1 Farmers groups said the Carper Law, a five-year extension of Carp, will not answer the farmers’ clamor for land. Mariano said they have chosen Nograles’ office because Nograles has been the “pointman” of the Arroyo government in pushing for Charter change that will perpetuate Arroyo’s grip in power. “This caravan for land and justice will push the final nail in the coffin of Ms. Arroyo’s Charter change,” he said. Mariano said the House’ session, which will resume on January 18, will focus on the Constitutional Convention mode of amending the Charter after failing to railroad measures seeking to convene Congress into a Constituent Assembly. Mariano said Nograles has also pushed for the one hundred percent foreign ownership of lands in the House Resolution 737 that he authored. The resolution, still on plenary, seeks the removal of the Constitution’s restrictions to foreign ownership of land, according to Mariano. Mariano said the Mindanao contingent in the Lakbayan caravan will include farmers who lost their lands to the Arroyo administration’s agribusiness and mining projects and those who have become victims of the government’s counterinsurgency policy. The delegates will also hold a protest-vigil in the city before they will take off for Butuan City in the morning of January 13 to meet with other delegates from Western and Northern Mindanao. On January 14 and 15, the Mindanao delegates will travel to Visayas and merge with other delegates from Liloan in Leyte, Calbayog in Samar, Soroson, Naga, Lucena, Bulacan, and other provinces of Central Visayas and North Eastern Visayas. On January 16 to 19, the Mindanao and Visayas delegates will meet up with delegates from Luzon. The activity will culminate in Manila on January 22, the 23rd anniversary of the Mendiola massacre, where 13 farmers were killed on their march to Malacanang, demanding for lands and genuine agrarian reform from the Aquino administration.

Gabieta Inquirer Visayas First Posted 20:44:00 01/10/2010 TACLOBAN CITY, Philippines – The military claimed it has succeeded in reducing Communist rebel forces in Eastern Visayas. Lieutenant Colonel Armand Rico, information officer of the 8th Infantry Division based in Catbalogan City, said their anti-insurgency campaign resulted to substantial gains—from 14 to two New People’s Army (NPA) guerilla fonts last year. Rico said government troops initiated at least 70 anti-insurgency operations that led to the capture of 26 suspected rebels, 12 of them were killed in the clashes. The military operations, he said, also resulted to the surrender of 159 NPA members, the recovery of 145 assorted firearms and the discovery and dismantling of 28 rebel camps, 140 villages in Samar provinces, he said, were also “freed” from the influence of the rebels in 2009. Success “We can say that our anti-insurgency campaign was a success,” Rico said. The military official said that their campaign against the insurgents will continue to be relentless this year until the Armed Forces of the Philippines achieves its goal of zero insurgency in the region. The campaign would not only involve military operations but also the delivery of basic services and projects to the people living in remote villages, he said. The Army, through its engineering battalions,are engaged in various projects like the construction of farm-to-market roads, water system, health centers, school buildings and even electrification under its “Kalayaan sa Barangay Project.” “We will enhance our territorial defense system and our community works as part of our campaign against the rebels here in the region,” Rico said. Over a hundred villages in the region, mostly in the Samar provinces, benefited from the military’s electrification project, he said. Priest-turned-rebel Fr. Santiago Salas, spokesperson of the National Democratic Front in Eastern Visayas, however, also claimed “victory” against government soldiers last year. In an e-mailed statement Saturday, Salas said that of the 60 “tactical offensives” that the NPA carried out last year, their group was able to confiscate 40 firearms from soldiers and inflicted 90 casualties. “We aim to carry out more annihilative guerrilla offensives to accumulate more firearms and strengthen ourselves while weakening the enemy of the people,” Salas said. Bicol In Naga City, the military said it had cut down the number of NPA rebels in Bicol by at least a hundred. From 520 fighters, the number in Bicol was down to 400, according to a report furnished the Inquirer. The report said 29 NPA cadres were killed in firefights last year, 32 rebels were captured and 59 surrendered. It said the Army lost five soldiers and 12 militiamen in the 102 firefights between government forces and NPA rebels in 2009, adding that 31 soldiers were reported wounded. The number of rebel firearms was also reduced, said Maj. Harold Cabunoc, the Army unit’s spokesperson. “As of today, the BRPC has 362 assorted firearms as compared to its 448 tally in 2008,” Cabunoc added. He said they recovered 47 high-powered firearms and 39 low-powered firearms from the NPA in 2009, although they also lost 10 high-powered firearms to the rebels.

Dubbed as FOAS or the FOAS or Felix Ordas Alfelor Senior (FOAS), the family retreat was held at the Caritas Christi, Concepcion Grande, Naga City on December 29, 2009. The Alfelor's religiosity is one of the great values that Dr. Remedios Rigoroso-Alfelor, taught her children. Her piousness continues to serve as an inspiration, not just to her immediate family, but also to the members of her community. Wawa, as she is fondly called by her dear family and friends, has unselfishly shared her faith and Godly devotion to many, particularly to the present and upcoming Alfelor generation. The family retreat was attended by forty-seven (47) members of the Alfelor family; six (6) from the 2nd generation, twenty-eight (28) from the 3rd generation, and thirteen (I3) from the 4th generation. The occasion allowed each family member to temporarily remove themselves from their usual environment and find time for solitude by immersing themselves in spiritual endeavors. Rev.Fr. Glen Paul M. Gomez, Retreat Master and Mass Presider, emphasized the importance of prayers. "When we pray, we communicate with God, and when we turn that prayer into action, we are not only serving God but we also return the blessings that we have received from Him." The day was indeed filled with sharing and giving. In the afternoon, Rev. Fr. Gomez explained the true essence of celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. The discussion was followed by a penitential rite, Reconciliation and finally ending the significant activity with a thanksgiving mass. UNEP Vice President for Finance, Ms Del Alfelor-Tibi thanked every member of the family for attending the said gathering. "This retreat has brought us all together in a common goal of strengthening our spiritual bond. This opportunity also allowed us to have time to reflect, pray and meditate. It gives us a realization that we should never under estimate the power of prayers in every undertaking that we wish to make." Also in attendance was UNEP President Atty. Remelisa Alfelor-Moraleda. "This gathering also gives each and every member of the family a chance to focus on our directions and contemplate on our actions." This, I believe, will strengthen our bond, not just as a family, but also as responsible members of the community." hakz2007 January 12th, 2010, 07:58 AM Two Major Conventions from two large endocrine societies will be held in Naga City.

It adheres to the ideals of freedom, respect for individual and property rights, and the rule of law. Its political institutions, like the courts and the legislature, are transparent and are accorded respect by the people though not immune from the exercise of free expression by those who hold contrary views. Local governments, like those comprising Metro Naga, build on these democratic ideals to position themselves as effective providers of government services and as attractive destinations for local and foreign investment. MNDC History Elsewhere in the country, and perhaps the whole world, cities figure prominently than other local government units for one simple reason — they are where the action is. Cities generate and accumulate wealth and are the main centers for education, job creation, innovation, culture and greater economic opportunity. Naga City is no different from other provincial cities. Over the past decade, it displayed phenomenal growth resulting in the expansion of its urban center to over thrice its size in the 1980s; the sprouting of subdivisions, commercial establishments and popular franchise outlets; the increase in the number financial institutions, public utilities, and service establishments; and the entry of developers in the tourism industry. This growth however is without a challenge. For in the nearby municipalities, though richly endowed with natural resources, life hardly changed – and what later evolved into a partnership of local governments was a warm response to the cold isolation of being left out in the development process. MNDC Composition The Metro Naga Development Council operates thru: * an Executive Committee, composed of all the local chief executives, which oversees the operations of the program office; * the Project Development Unit which serves as general secretariat, implements projects and handles the day-to-day operations of the Council; and * the Metro Naga Investment Promotion Center, composed of the 15 Local Government Unit Investment Coordinators, which promotes Metro Naga as a whole investment area. Thrusts and Activities Metro Naga addresses the most compelling aspect of rapid urbanization— the wide disparity between urban centers and rural areas in terms of resources, social services and economic growth. The development of the largely untapped resources of the municipalities and the expansion of growth within the City of Naga will enable the local governments promote the quality of life of their constituency. It is at this direction that the MNDC’s current programs and projects are generally anchored. hakz2007 January 12th, 2010, 09:48 AM ^^I ain't sure but I think it was 1993 or 1996 when it was created. garzland January 12th, 2010, 09:48 AM aside from the contribution, maybe we can bring other kinds of food. garo man lng potluck para dakul food. :) Btw, any suggestion on when is the due date for this contribution and to whom it will be given? hakz2007 January 12th, 2010, 09:49 AM we know :lol: tayo lang naman kasi ang nakakaalam ng tungkol sa ating dalawa:D kevinb January 12th, 2010, 09:49 AM ^^Thanks for that, kev...

They had to address more of their commonality rather than their diversity, resource sharing rather than politicking. Inasmuch as almost all of the gasoline stations in Metro Naga are located in Naga City, its then city mayor convened the mayors of the adjacent municipalities to map out their needs and priorities in setting the system and procedure for rationing available fuel supply. The resulting scheme kept vital services running and its success paved the way for other cooperative efforts and undertakings – all leading to the creation of an institution – the Metro Naga Development Council -- that would address these cross-boundary issues and problems. Another impetus was the enactment of the Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991 which mandated the absorption of devolved personnel, creating chaos in the budgets of many LGUs. Again, the mayors of Naga and its neighboring municipalities held informal meetings to share experiences and formulate common strategies to overcome the initial difficulties that accompanied the implementation of the LGC. Then the senior citizens of the neighboring municipalities clamored that they also be granted the same benefits enjoyed by their colleagues in Naga City. As early as 1989, Naga has in place a senior citizens program that granted the elderly various discounts from public institutions and private establishments. The mayors again met, "Metro Naga" was coined, and the Metro Naga Senior Citizens League was subsequently formed to facilitate the grant of discount privileges to Metro Naga elderly. This was the third event. Soon after, requests for the use of the city's heavy equipment came from the municipal mayors bringing to the fore the need for a mechanism to facilitate such sharing of resources between the city and its neighbors. The new LGC gave the answer with its grant of expanded powers and prerogatives to LGUs allowing them to pool their efforts and resources for commonly beneficial projects and activities. A task force was formed to study the mechanics for the exercise of such powers. The rest, as they say, is history. What was left was to forge a memorandum of agreement (MOA) formally detailing the covenants of roles and responsibilities of the different LGUs and have the MOA approved by their respective legislative councils. This MOA was signed on April 23, 1993 in Naga City with then Secretary Rafael Alunan III of the Department of Interior and Local Government as principal witness. Thus was born the Metro Naga Development Council, a cooperative effort necessitated by the backlash of the Gulf War that later evolved into a partnership for the joint development of 15 LGUs. This local initiative was affirmed by then President Ramos himself through Executive Order No. 102 issued on June 18, 1993. *** Garz, 1993 palan. So it's already 16 years old. :) hakz2007 January 12th, 2010, 09:51 AM ^^magkano contribution? garzland January 12th, 2010, 09:52 AM ^^100 oragon.com January 12th, 2010, 09:53 AM It has been recognized by the national government since then.

The ExeCom is the policy-making body of MNDC. It focuses in seeing to it that long-term and specific short-term projects for the benefit of its member-LGUs are realized and implemented. This flows from MNDC's mandate under Executive Order 102 to formulate, coordinate and monitor programs for the social and economic growth and development of its member-LGUs. At present the ExeCom is headed by Naga City Mayor Jesse M. Robredo as chairman and San Fernando Mayor Sabas Mabulo as secretary. On the other hand, the Project Development Unit, which acts as coordinating body and research and project development arm of MNDC, is headed by Mr. Frank M. Mendoza as Executive Officer. Project Development Unit The Project Development Unit serves as the general secretariat, coordinating body, and project development arm of the Metro Naga Development Council. It is primarily tasked with coming up with project proposals which are submitted for external assistance. Among the projects it implemented are the capability-building trainings on land-use and area-wide planning thru the assistance of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Philippines Australia Governance Facility Project (PAGF), respectively. The output of the former was the land use plans of each municipality as well as the physical framework plan of Metro Naga. The outputs of the area-wide planning trainings were the Integrated Metro Naga Investment Promotion Program (IMNIPP), the pre-feasibility on an Integrated Metro Naga Solid Waste Management Project and the Manual on Project Proposal Preparation which is being used as a practical aid in accessing external assistance by the planners in Metro Naga. Metro Naga Investment Promotion Center The Metro Naga Investment Promotion Center assists potential investors to explore opportunities that exist throughout the area and across the spectrum of industry sectors. The center staff are well-versed in the regulatory requirements at both the local and national government levels and can guide business persons through the compliance regime. |
