Yung GMA TV7 SANTIAGO, relay po ba o originating?... Mas ok po ang originating no?

Mas OK ang originating dahil pwede silang magbroadcast ng original programs which are independent of the mother station in Metro Manila. Kung merong local producers sana diyan na gagawa ng local programs in Ilocano pwede.

Relay Station lang sir..... tama ka mas ok sana ang originating..pero malay mo in the future ma convert into originating ang sa santiago....Yung relay station nila sa cabbarroguis itratransfer sa santiago pero bago lahat ang facilities. Yung reason is to cover the most number of households. Aprubado na sa committee level ang application nila...and their target date to air is on May 2011.

according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_broadcasters_owned_or_affiliated_with_GMA_Network) there is also an existing gma tv-7 translator station in ilagan.


Broadcast translators

In its simplest form, a broadcast translator is a facility created to receive a terrestrial broadcast station over-the-air on one frequency and rebroadcast the same or substantially-identical signal on another frequency. These stations are used in television and radio to cover areas (such as valleys or rural villages) not adequately covered by a station's main signal.

sana hindi ito maging ningas kugon tulad ng sa mmda. i am sure ilang araw lang makikita na ang resulta ng ganitong kampanya. go go go!!!

@Btwo... Sana nga i-impliment yan strictly para laging malinis ang paligid at mas maging mabango sa mga would-be investors ang Santiago.

After nito sana maging strikto na rin sila sa mga side-walk vendors then ilipat nila yung ibang nagbebenta ng lechon manok at lugawan sa itatayo nilang park.

Masasanay din ang tao sa kalinisan e. Darating ang panahon na yung mga taong hindi maalaga sa paligid e, automatic na na magiging malinis sila at sila na mismo ang pupuna sa mga nagkakalat.

Saan nga daw ho ulit ilalagay ang bagsakan center ng Santiago? Salamat.

Ok to ah. Yup, sana hindi ningas kugon, huwag maging kagaya sa amin sa san fernando(la union):ohno::ohno::ohno:

Hindi na nga dapat kailangan isabatas pa yan dahil alam naman ng tao na bawal at nakakasira ng kapaligiran yan. Kung bakit kasi ganyan katigas ang ulo nating mga pinoy. Sa ibang bansa wala kang makikitang ganyang nakapaskil pero malinis pa rin ang paligid.

Yep... Kung magiging technical tayo, kelangang may batas na nagpapataw ng kaparusahan sa mga nasabing gawa. Ngunit kung sa aspetong paghihikayat na maging malinis, may mga iba pang paraan.

Dapat kasi responsible ang bawat tao sa mga nasabing gawain. Ngunit marami nga talagang sadyang matigas ang ulo at hindi disiplinado. Kaya tamang isabatas ang pagpataw ng parusa sa mga matitigas ang ulo.

Nabasa na....

Guys 296619's info is feed by atleast 19 people. So huwag magtaka kung bakit updated lagi. Hehe... ;)

Ok to ah. Yup, sana hindi ningas kugon, huwag maging kagaya sa amin sa san fernando(la union):ohno::ohno::ohno:

You're welcome... Sana nga lang unahin nila yung rehabilitation/renovation nung provincial hospital.

question mga kapitapitagang sirs! how do i go to makasalanan st if id be coming from tuguegarao city?

i just want to share guys.. ilocano ako, medyo hirap ako sa ibanag and im from tuguegarao.. alam niyo bang its a must for us to speak in ibanag pag nasa city hall or any city govt na pinupuntahan.. binyag nga ng anak ko, we have to speak in ibanag.. :ohno:.. pure ibanag city daw kasi ang tuguegarao at namamatay na daw ang ibanag language sa city.. sa akin naman, we have to accept the effect of change di b.. kaakibat yan ng pag unlad... though maganda ang hangarin ng city govt of tugeugarao pero parang mahirap atang gawin yun.. sa santiago kaya, may ordinance bang dapat sundin para sa medium of speaking??

this is not acceptable! pure ibanag city?! gimme a break! is this some sorta discrimination to non ibanags? youre right. they have to accept the fact that tuguegarao is changing

its good that tuguegarao's thread is gone. the posters never accept the fact that their city got some fLAWS. only in tuguegarao where you can find a hospital that denies the unhealthy for the reason that that sick person isnt from tuguegarao. only in tuguegarao where people could afford a 280million worth citihall but doesnt have the fund to build a road. only in tuguegarao where you can find a burning building which is just a block away from the fire department yet there were casualties.

only in tuguegarao where you could find people afraid of talking about their own longganisa. only in tuguegarao where you can find a traffic volunteer that carries an uzi while trafficking. only in tuguegarao where you can find a spanking mayor. check out those tourist spots only in tuguegarao baby! does your beloved santiago city have that? now please tell me, how do i go to makasalanan st?

ah kaya naman pala. So meaning we can never tell kung si sir rod talaga ang quote namin ?

anyway, good for you guys :)

BTW, nawala yung tugue thread, di ba nalinis na yun, ibig sabihin na invade na naman ng alien? :ohno:

Paano naman yung mga legitimate na posters dun? Mawawalan sila ng venue :ohno:

they do post somewhere

The most exciting month for Santiago is coming!

Expect more construction. Expect projects (e.g. Devt of New City) to start rolling!

Expect the waive of new businesses!

You're welcome... Sana nga lang unahin nila yung rehabilitation/renovation nung provincial hospital.
imo the provincial hospital should be upgraded to levels at par with manila hospitals vis-à-vis facilities, medical practioners or personnel, and medical services being offered. Upgrades could provide isabelinos easier access to better and inexpensive medical services without going to manila or other provinces.

its good that tuguegarao's thread is gone. the posters never accept the fact that their city got some fLAWS. only in tuguegarao where you can find a hospital that denies the unhealthy for the reason that that sick person isnt from tuguegarao. only in tuguegarao where people could afford a 280million worth citihall but doesnt have the fund to build a road. only in tuguegarao where you can find a burning building which is just a block away from the fire department yet there were casualties.

Hi mr. darylfiremover, I'm from Tuguegarao, i have red all your comments about our city, it's so sad that your language stikes us so badly. Yes, we have the right to air our thoughts but we must be responsible and cautious enough about others' feelings, though there are no foul words but it apperently mirrors insult. I noted that your signature speaks about crab mentality and it's just surprising that it opposes your views/beliefs for that matter. I'm not tolerating our city government for all its questionable and bad moves but it's the city itself you are hitting awfully. So pls. stop all negative comments about Tuguegarao. I know your wise enough to respond nicely to this plead.:okay::okay::okay:

Our attitude should be respectful, cooperative, accountable, humble, helpful, encouraging, loyal. Not resentful, defiant or disrespectful. (Heb. 13:17, 1 Pet. 2:13-15)

GOD BLESS sa'yo pare.:):):)

hi joel! the truth hurts aint it? stating the obvious is insulting too..

it's never good that tuguegarao thread is already gone! and no one in the thread said that Tuguegarao doesn't have any flaws.

hi joel! the truth hurts aint it? stating the obvious is insulting too..

Hi darylfiremover! definitely i agree, truth hurts. But you should be gentle with your words. I believe you will not gain any profit if you scramble on others' wrongdoings. No negativity pls. If you dwell on the negative, your attitude will reflect the same. In Tuguegarao thread no one has ever said negative things about Santiago city (people, government, and culture). Hope you find this plead well.

hey dude. I never said that i don't have sin or Tuguegarao is a righteous city. In fact i even stressed out that i'm against those bad moves of our city officials. :):):)

i dont wish to gain profit my friend

I'm glad that you said it right. Your comments are less gentle, that's my point.:):)

@296619

dude confirmed naba ung robinsons lot sa may mabini?
wla pa rin balita sa Puregold, Savemore or robinsons d2 sa cauayan. mukhang hype lang ito.
Sana umunlad pa ang cities natin. Sa pagsabay sa pagunlad sana i-apply din ng mga local government ang masinsin na town planning at land use ng mga nasasakupan.

DUMadami na raw mga masasamang loob dyan sa cauayan. Ung isang indian national nilooban daw dyan at pinatay ang kanyang misis at pinagnakawan ng di kilalang sarilin habang wla ang kanyang mister. Dayo ba karamihan ng masasamang loob sa isabela or bunga ito ng droga. Nung umuwi ako nung december, ang dami ng drug addict,street children sa kalasada. Malabong wla ding magnanakaw. Uso na din ang riding in tandem modus d2 sabi ng kakilala ko.

Former justice sec backs Ilagan’s cityhood bid
by Merlito G. Edale, Jr.

CAUAYAN CITY, Isabela, April 5 (PIA) – Former Department of Justice Secretary Silvestre Bello III expressed support to the renewed move of the local officials of Ilagan, Isabela, headed by Mayor Josemarie L. Diaz, for the town’s conversion to a city.


Bello stressed that converting Ilagan town to a city would benefit the Ilaguenos in terms of social and economic value as its Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) will surely increase and there will be more funds for services.


“The eagerness of the municipal officials to convert the municipality of Ilagan to a city is a manifestation of their willingness to serve their constituents better,” Bello said.


He added that the municipality has already met the requirements of converting a locality to a city.


Under RA 9009, all local government units (LGU) aspiring for city-hood status should meet three main criteria specifically the land area of 100 kilometers, population of at least 150,000 and locally generated income of P100 million.

Bello advised the local officials to observe the process of converting a town to a city to avert future problems.


Bello said the move which shall emanate from the local council through resolution will be filed in congress through the sponsorship of a congressman.


Earlier, Isabela first district Rep. Rodolfo Albano has signified interest in filing again a bill calling for the conversion of Ilagan to a city.


It can be recalled that Ilagan has failed in its first bid for cityhood in 1997 when the residents rejected it in a plebiscite during the same year.


Bello warned the present leadership to observe honesty in public service once the town is converted into city adding that he will file charges in the Office of the Ombudsman against the officials who will be involved in graft and corruption.

according to a very reliable source inside the ilagan municipal hall, the old "palengke" in centro will be demolished and turned into a mall. my source also told me that there are plans to resume construction of the unfinished bridge in ilagan.

Hmm... mukhang tuloy yung balita about R.

Mukhang malabo ang Robinsons mall sa Ilagan dahil may Northstar mall na housing Savemore at Talavera Mall which will house Robinsons Supermarket.

About yung mga plans and designs posted, hindi kaya marketing strat lng yan ng archi? Hanggat hindi yan approbado ng council, wala lng yan. Hangang plan lng. O kahit na approved na kung walang construction, wala din.

Sana matuloy lahat niyan para ok... :)

Hmm... mukhang tuloy yung balita about R.

sana unahin na yung tulay. saan ba ang tawid nun? sa may sta. isabel ba papuntang mallig plains?

sana unahin na yung tulay. saan ba ang tawid nun? sa may sta. isabel ba papuntang mallig plains?

Sana nga matuloy na.. matagal nang nakatengga ang tulay na yan. Mid 90's pa nung inumpisahan ang clearing para sa bagong daan sa Calamagui 1st para diyan sa tulay na yan.

@ 296619, FYI.. yung principal architect ng arkicad ay taga Santiago. Yung rumor about Robinson's mall sa old super market ay napagusapan sa meeting ng konseho sa Ilagan.

Kaya nga d na tuloy ung robinsons sa Santiago eh.. kasi ok na usapan sa Konseho... kaya gagawing Robinsons ung Palengke dahil nagtatayo na namn ng Savemore sa Centro Ilagan kaya aun.. tapatan lng sila

my source didn't specify which mall but there are already talks between the local government and the market association regarding the said project. Kung r, s, p or a local government funded mall sya like tuguegarao's mall of the valley (not sure about the name) is another question. My source is very reliable.

at PRPB and gatestar... Ok! Atleast you cleared one thing.


For sure, that won't be good for Ilagan's small economy kung itatayo yan ngayon o next year. Magiging saturated na kayo ng malls. Don't get hurt. I'm just telling a fact. Decision niyo nman yan. Good luck to people of Ilagan...

Naexperience ko na yang mga talk na yan. Maraming plans. Its better for you guys to wait!

Lastly, sa mga taong nasa konseho o may pusisyon sa gobyerno, gawin niyo ho ang trabaho niyo lalo na ang mga pinapangako niyo sa taong bayan. Huwag niyo kaming paaasahin. Kung 2015 o 2020 pa itatayo ang proyekto niyo, madi yu iwaragawag tatta!

Sa mga forumers dito na empleyado ng gobyerno, iparating niyo yan sa mga boss niyo sa opisina!

Huwag niyong icredit sa sarili niyo ang hindi pa nagagawa!

At, tulad ng sabi ni btwo, huwag maging bantay salakay!

at PRPB and gatestar... Ok! Atleast you cleared one thing.

@ 296619, Para sa akin tama na nga yung isang mall para hindi naman kawawa yung mga maliliit na negosyante. Just an example yung impact ng savemore sa mga vendors sa palengke at local grocery stores.. Pero in the end ang mga mamamayan parin ang panalo kasi bumaba talaga ang presyo ng bilihin.... Halimbawa na lang yung presyo ng pork. Dati P180 per kila sa palengke pero ang savemore P155 lang at choice cut pa! Noong una matumal ang benta ng local meat dealers pero noong sinabayan nila yung price ng savemore eh bumalik din naman sa kanila yung mga suki nila. Maliban sa price mas marami na ring offerings... Kung taga Ilagan ka at dati namimili ka ng hard to find grocery items sa Manila kasi nga hindi availabe sa Ilagan... ngayon wala nang problema.. readily available na lahat.

Malaki ang CDR KING ILAGAN ng five times compared sa Santiago. Pero mas maraming sales sa Santi. Mag oopen na rin pala ang Genaros sa NorthStar Mall ;)

Mukhang hindi malinis ang floor ng Northstar

We usually don't buy meat and fish sa Savemore, kc hindi siya fresh. Luma na.

Ok nman ang Northstar so far, pero konti lng ang tao. Marami pa ring vacant, kaya i doubt kung mabibili mo na lahat dun. Yung isang section ng northstar pala, mga fake DVD/vcd ang benta. Diba bawal po yun?

Mas maganda ang design ng pamilihan arcade ng Santiago, sana ayusin ng city govt ang mga nakapalibot dun.

Mukhang kokonti lng din buyers sa napakaluwang na Savemore ilagan. At yung mga kainan sa foodcourt hindi ganoon kaayos kahit yung food.

Parang small version ng harison plaza ang northstar mall less the branded and expensive clothings and stores...

mag oopen na rin pla ang robinsons SUPERMARKET ILAGAN SOON! Hmm sino kaya ang lalangawin? Curious lng. Very imposible ang isang ROB Mall dyan. Better na gawin ng ILAGAN GOVT e improve nlng nila yung pamilihang bayan. Yan ang tamang gawin, hindi yung gawing rob mall daw which is not feasible.

let us just clear the air here for a minute. This is not about santiago vs ilagan. We are posting developments being planned and undertaken in ilagan to let those interested to know what's happening in ilagan. What is good or bad for santiago may not be applicable in ilagan and the same goes in reverse. If indeed all those plans do come true, i am pretty sure that the developers have considered the economic viability of their projects considering the amount of investment. We should all be glad that more towns in isabela are being noticed by investors. May domino at multiplier effect ito kaya buong isabela makikinabang. :cheers:

Sa Cordon local govt. Bakit pati Buying Stations based sa Sntiago City e kailangang kumuha ng business permit at mgbayad ng tax sa inyo? E choice naman ng farmers niyo kung gusto nilang ibenta sa Santiago yung mga ani nila. Hindi nman makatarungan yun. Isang beses lng na pinakuha ng farmer yung palay niya sa Cordon e tataxan na ng napakalaki yung buyer? Mas malaki pa tax niyo kesa sa tubo ng buyer. Ireview niyo yang patakaran niyong yan. Gusto niyo atang ipromote ang monopoly sa lugar niyo e. Take note, choice ng farmer kung saan niya gustong ibenta ang palay niya. Nagmamagandang loob lng ang buyer na hakutin ang palay ng farmer. Business permit at business tax? Appropriate ba ang mga ito sa transaction na yun?

Pwede niyo bng basahin ang section 143 at 150 ng local govt code?

Kakaiba nman ang patakaran ng Cordon govt na yan. Ang pagkakaalam ko isang business permit bawat isang negosyo hindi isang business permit bawat truck. Ang negosyante pwedeng limang truck ang gamit, pero isang negosyo lng yun. Kya isang business permit lng dapat, hindi limang business permit sa isang negosyante.

At nakalagay sa LGC, Ang business tax ay ipapataw kung saan nangyari ang bentahan. (situs of taxation sec 150). Ang Cordon farmers ang pumupunta sa Santiago para dun nila ibenta ang ani nila! Pinapahakot lng nila ang palay nila. Grabe nman kayo, tax na nga sa Santiago tax pa sa Cordon! Business permit ay per negosyo hindi per truck! Ang business tax ay binabayaran kung saan nangyari ang bentahan!

Siguro may local official dyan sa Cordon na engaged sa buy and sell ng grains kaya gusto niyang imonopolyo ang buong cordon.

Sa city officials, pakicheck nman po kung makatarungan ang buwis na pinapataw ng Cordon sa mga legitimong negosyante ng Santiago.

Ang treasurer daw ng Cordon, iniisa isang puntahan mga buying station sa Santiago, at gusto nilang koletahan ng business permit bawat sasakyan ng negosyante kahit hindi nman ginagamit sa lugar nila.

calm down, mga bossing. Whoever is posting: it would be better if you'll put your initials on each post so we'll know to whom we should reply. medyo weird kasi parang one name is discussing with the same name. Thanks.

sana unahin na yung tulay. saan ba ang tawid nun? sa may sta. isabel ba papuntang mallig plains?

Good News!

DPWH STARTS CONSTRUCTION OF P712 - MILLION BRIDGE IN ISABELA

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has started the construction of the locally funded 500-meter Lullutan bridge along Ilagan - Delfin Albano - Mallig Road in Ilagan, Isabela costing P712 Million. DPWH Secretary Rogelio L. Singson said that the government has saved at least P38.8 Million in government funds from the approved budget for the contract (ABC) of P751 Million due to open competitive bidding done for the project. The bridge project, funded by the national government, is vital in the area because it is located along the arterial road in the Cagayan Valley region, said Singson. It is also expected to ensure the immediate delivery of farm produce to market and food processing areas in Metro Manila, thus, avoiding spoilage of said products, Secretary Singson said. The project’s scope of work includes the construction of 14 span steel H beam type bridge with composite slab supported with two (2) column pier resting on group bored piles foundation, and, approximately 1,173 meter length of PCCP approaches. The two-lane bridge project also includes the provision of drainage facilities with slope protection. The bridge project is under the supervision of DPWH - Urgent Bridges Construction Project for Rural Development-Project Management Office (UBCPRD-PMO).

Yap i agree, dahil may dumarayo na rin including students from other universities and colleges...

calm down, mga bossing. Whoever is posting: it would be better if you'll put your initials on each post so we'll know to whom we should reply. medyo weird kasi parang one name is discussing with the same name. Thanks.

same here. got confused na :)

Yup mas maganda kung magkanya-kanya sila ng account. Kaya pala maski noon parang halata na hindi same person ang kausap mo. Minsan parang nasa Isabela mismo yung nagpost pero alam naman natin na nasa Manila yung original na 296xxx dahil may klase. Hindi naman masama yung same account/multi-posters pero nakakalito po sa mga ibang forumers though not intentionally.

o di ba my source is credible? :) now it would be interesting to wait for the other half of my claim re: demolition of existing public market and supposed construction of an unknown mall. i may not be in favor of the new mall because of som personal reasons but if this project will make ilagan more progressive then so be it. :cheers:

For sure pre... I still remember yung dating pwesto niyo diyan sa palengke.. Pag bumibili kami ng t-shirt eh suot muna bago bayad! hehe...

hahaha... naalala ko yung chicago bulls na t-shirt hindi na binitawan ni chito. about sa palengke, meron na talaga formal talks between sa munisipyo at mga namamahala sa palengke. di ko lang sure kung kailan pero pinaguusapan talaga sa loob ng munisipyo sabi ng source ko. mahirap kasi magbigay ng date baka sumablay. :lol: pero yung sa tulay kumpirmado talaga yun.

kay bossing gatestar, baka may mga pictures ka jan ng tinatayong empress garden hotel sa tabi ng northstar mall at yung development sa harap ng capitol paki-post naman. hehehe. thanks.:cheers:

Siya naman kasi ang may size nun eh, hehe... Uwi ako sa Ilagan sa Holy week, I will take pictures tapos post ko dito.

^^^^

looking forward to your pictures. nakalimutan ko you are into photography din nga pala.

Rest time na siya. Mgbabar na yun. Sorry dahil tutok kami ngayon sa mga totoo at makabuluhang bagay.

About devt sa NorthStar, may pictures kami. Marami siguro ang tao pg rush hour, pero hindi ganoon karami sa inaasahan. About sa demolition sa palengke ng Ilagan, tama lng idemolish yan, palitan into a mall type pero anglabo atang Rob mall yun no? Hindi nman mglalagay ng negosyong malulugi ang lahat. Bababa ang presyo ng mga bilihin, good for the consumers siguro pero too bad for the investors, liit pa collection niyo sa tax.

We're just telling the truth.

Yung bagong sports complex sa Ilagan, mgstart na rin construction, pero yung iba proposed pa lng.

Yung devt sa North Star pinapatag plng ang lupa.

Kawawa nman ang ibang bayan ng Isabela, concentrated ang budget ng Isabela province sa Ilagan. Kaya pala nghihimutok ang Cauayan City, dahil walang provincial project sa kanila khit ng panahon pa ni Padaca.

Ok lng na isang account gamitin namin. For security, para matira namin ang mga tiwaling tao at mga one sided na decisions. Yung orig na 296619 na sinasabi niyo, wala na siya. Tapos na ho ang term niya.

As usual, maraming negosyo ang pumapasok sa buong Isabela. May RAI HOME narin sa Ilagan, Cauayan (main.), Santiago (depot- biggest).

May Yamaha Phil na rin sa Cauayan at Ilagan @ 1 each. 2branch sa Santiago. Maraming construction ngayon sa Ilagan kasama na yung mga govt funded. As usual maraming bagong buildings ang tinatayo sa Santiago pero wala pa yung mga govt funded, magsisimula plng daw.

Yung stop light sa Cauayan mukang may mali sa counting. Mas busy ho ang National highway kaya dapat hong ilaan niyo ang 60seconds go doon. Alam ko naintindihan niyo na ibig ko hong sabihin. Pakichek ulit yung clocking.

Tungkol sa lalangawin? Masakit pakinggan pero totoo yun. Ngayon pa nga lng kokonti ang tao sa Northstar, di tulad sa Inaasahan, paano a pg nagbukas ang Talavera na may Robinsons Supermarket. Tapos susundan pa ng Robinsons mall? Ang labo. Pahalagahan niyo nman ang investors.

Hindi namin kinukumpara Santiago sa Ilagan, dahil walang dapat ikumpara. Anglayo ng agwat. Lahat dun busy. Ok lng daw kahit hindi muna matuloy Rob sa Santiago dahil may lupa na sila dun.

kaya kapatid, andun yun tinatawag na marketing strategy in putting the mall.. ang daling sabihin ang word na marketing but in applying it, mahirap talga, i must accept it kahit business course grad ako.. :)kung totoo ngang hindi nakakahatak ng parokyano ang northstar, it shows that they just built the mall to show some legacy for ilagan,isabela.. yes, malaki ang ilagan at malaki din ang population nila.. but you have to count the population di b.. what percentage of the population that would generate a greater attendance for the mall.. kaya minsan isipin din what area would most create a great number of buyers, in targeting your market.. im not saying santiago,cauayan or tuguegarao cities have the most number if we compare them from ilagan but, these cities have greater and potential number of customers for malls like northstar..

pero hindi naman basta basta ang northstar developer.. i think they have something in store to elevate.. hintayin natin, im sure may strategy sila..

masyado namang negative si 29xxx sa mga projects sa ilagan. How can you be so sure na malulugi ang mga mall? Have you conducted any study regarding this matter to conclude that any mall development in ilagan will fail? Pashare naman jan kasi afaik northstar and talavera thinks otherwise. It would be better if you'll just be happy for ilaguenos for all the developments happening in their town. Do not underestimate the purchasing power of ilaguenos. Please do not agitate the thread by your bitterness.

uo nga nman. better kung maging happy na lang for ilagan. santiago and ilagan are in one province naman.

nice ang logo ng team isabela. Official ba yan?

tuloy ba ang construction ng dam sa tumauini? any news about this?

uo nga nman. better kung maging happy na lang for ilagan. santiago and ilagan are in one province naman.

D sila happy sa ilagan halata... kasi gusto nila Santiago lang dapat hays.. kaya nga pang Santiago tong Forum na to eh Sabit lng ang Isabela

nice ang logo ng team isabela. Official ba yan?

opo sir official po

astig yan sa t-shirt o kaya sa baseball cap.

Nakakatuwa naman, Btwo? Bitter? Sinong bitter? E kung gusto niyong mgdagdag ng outsider mall dyan, e di mgdagdag kayo. Concerned lng naman kami sa investor niyo. Siguradong may mghihingalo dyan. Yun lng yun. Hindi namin kinocompare ang Ilagan sa Santiago dahil kita nman kung saan mas asensado. Ang sa amin lang, huwag niyo nmang sakalin mga investors niyo. Na sasainyo yan. Kung mamasamain niyo, wala na kaming magagawa.

Tungkol sa mga proposed, hindi kami particular sa Ilagan lng. Kayo na rin nsgsabi, katagal nakatiwangwang yung tulay nyo.

At hindi ba naunang sinabit ni gatestar ang Robinsons sa Santiago? Talagang wala png construction dun siguro this year. Pero itong si gatestar ngconclude na. This is however beside the point.

Hindi kami negative sa Northstar at Talavera. Pro nga kami e, dahil ayaw naming makawawa investors nito. Hndi ba?

paano naman sila nakakaawa? Do you honestly think that northstar will just let their php400+ million investment vanish into thin air? They see or know something that we don't hence the confidence in ilagan. I am sure that studies have been made to make sure that these investments will be beneficial to them. These are seasoned business people and i would like to believe that they are aware of their market and business. Imo ang robinsons o sm kahit itago mo yan sa barrio sa ilagan, cauayan, tumauini, santiago, o san guillermo dudumugin pa rin ng mga taga isabela yan. We don't need your concern kasi obviuos naman na may halong bitterness. I wish santiago, ilagan, and the whole isabela all the best.

and one more thing, paano mo naman nasabing sinasakal namin mga investors sa ilagan? Wala namang umiipit, pumupwersa, pumipilit o nananakot sa mga investors para mamuhunan sa ilagan. Everyone is welcome to invest in ilagan. Malawak pa ang lupain sa ilagan, merong coastline, may virgin forest, maraming government offices and employees, malaki ang population, stable ang economy, at malaki ang economic potential. I'm happy na umaangat na ulit ang ilagan.

haha... Sasakalin niyo ang northstar at talavera kung papasukin niyo ang robinsons dyan. Yun lng yun. Kaya nga ang proposed ng grupo nmin pagandahin niyo ang palengke niyo into mall type. Ikaw unang namersonal ha. Iniba lng nmin approach namin, sinasabi mo nang bitter kami. Bumalik ka kaya sa Isabela at ikaw ang tumingin at mag assess. Lahat ng lugar sa Isabela ina assess nmin, kahit Santiago. We are looking on all sides. Ayaw naming maging epokreto.

Huwag niyong sabihing sa Ilagan lng humahakot ng boto ang governor dahil sa Cauayan humakot ng husto at natalo si Padaca.


Take note hindi kami bitter dahil hindi na kami mgbibigay ng proposal kung wala kaming malasakit sa Ilagan. Kung ayaw mong tangapi, kawalan mo na yun hindi kami.

just be happy for ilagan and let demand, strategy, and competence decide on the fate of these investors, it is a free market after all. Kung kaya ng santiago ay kaya din ng ilagan, gayundin ng cauayan, cabagan at ng buong isabela. Wag nyong maliitin ang aming kakayahan. i rest my case.

We believe in the principle of moderation and we have to be factual and true to ourselves.

nobody is contradicting what you believe in as long as you don't impose it on anybody. we also have our own marching principles. ilagan is starting to move forward slowly since the early 2000's and the fruit of those struggles are starting to ripen one by one. looking forward to ilagan city.:cheers:

We are applying it to any city or town in Isabela. So one might be wrong when he/she accused us of bitterness!

Looking at one side alone is a downfall.

See our postings as a warning rather than a threat.

And please check the meaning of free market. There is no such thing a free market in the Philippines and more so that it is not applicable in certain matters specially when the discrepancy between the rich and the poor is heaven and earth. Go back and look for yourself. Do some reality check.

kami ba ang kailangang magreality check o kayo? You're not the only people in isabela capable of discerning between a good or a bad decision. Let the investors decide on the viability of their business in ilagan. That is the spirit of a free market economy. Honestly, between what you know and what the ilagan investors know about the business climate in ilagan... i will bet my "bissing-talapi-pesu" on the latter. You hate the word bitter but try to ask other forumers about your previous posts and they'll probably agree that those posts are concrete examples of bitterness. I'm moving on with this... :cheers:

Tama nga ang sabi ng iba pag talo sa argument titirahin personally. One concrete example ang ginawa mo. Don't judge kung ikaw wala kang alam. Go back to the Philippines and say it your own. Siguro nga wala kaming kakayahang tumingin sa tulad ng gusto mong ipahiwatig, pero mas nakikita ng mga mata namin angkatotohanan kesa sayo. Open market ba ang ginagawa ng konseho ng Ilagan halimbawa sa pag approve o paghikayat sa isang negosyante hal. May pakekeelam.

Wala kaming pinersonal dito until you judged us personally.

mga bossing, get over it. Basta kami happy sa nangyayari sa ilagan at yun ang importante.

Halos araw araw kaming naglilibot sa Isabela, nakikita namin ang pagbabago. Nakikita rin namin ang abusado. Kami bilang Isabelino ay ginagamit din namin ang judgement namin para masabing one sided ang mga decision, unfair, unjust ang mga namumuno. May karapatan kaming ibulalas ang mga karaingan namin ng walang tinitirang forumer dito. Maliban nalng kung tirahin kami personally. Manatili sa usapan, huwag ilihis at tirahin ang katauhan.

Nakikita namin ang pagtayo ng mga mall na yan. Ngunit kaming matagal nang negosyante'y dapat tulungan. Darating ang araw, kami'y isang alipin lamang dahil mghahari ang mangilan ilan. Sa ngayon palang iilan lamang ang may kapangyarihan, paano na kung ang munting pagmamayari namin ay unti unting makakamkam.

Ang kailangan namin ay mga daanan, bahay at pagkain. Tubig at elektrisidad. Huwag niyo kamng pagrentahin sa napakamahal na silid dahil sa mga ilang malls palang hirap na kami.

Pagandahin niyo ang aming silid huwag niyo kaming pagrentahin ng napakamahal.

Happy kami sa development hindi lng sa Ilagan kundi sa buong probinya ng Isabela. Sad kami sa mga abusado at pahirap!

you are barking at the wrong tree. Walang forumer dito na gusto ng abuso, paghihirap, at maling gawain. Just because we do not agree on some things it doesn't mean we cannot agree on other things. Stop being so negative and look at the bright side. If you really want to make a difference then go directly to the agency or office that could help you in your crusades. We love isabela as much as you do so stop nagging us with your negativities.

walang namemersonal sa inyo dito. Guni guni nyo lang yun. Pakibalikan nyo ang lahat ng post ko at intindihin nyong mabuti kasi wala sa bokabularyo ko ang mamersonal. This is a forum so if you cannot accept the fact that other people may have a different opinion anjan naman ang ignore option so you won't be able to see what they are posting. Wag nyong gawing kumplikado ang buhay nyo. Peace. :cheers:

we're not barking at you. Ikaw lng naman ang feeling threatened e. Anong tawag mo sa judgement mo sa amin na bitter kami, hindi ba comment mo yun sa aming personalidad? Hindi lng ikaw ang nagbabasa ng forum dito, marami sila. Sobrang natakot nga yung iba at ipahanap pa yung isa sa amin. Ngayon, kung gusto mong kumampi sa kanila, panindigan mo. Bumalik ka sa Isabela para malaman mo ang sinasabi namin.

Sayo na nanggaling, forum ito, so kung hindi mo maaccept ang sinasabi namin about Ilagan e huwag mo kaming husgahan. Iprove mo na mali kami hindi yung sinasabi mong bitter kami kaya nasasabi namin yun. Malinaw yun. Huwag mong iibahin nanaman. Bumalik ka nlng kasi para makita mo.

Cooperative office grants P2.8 M interest-free loans

by Merlito G. Edale
ILAGAN, Isabela, April 10 (PIA)—The provincial government of Isabela through the Provincial Cooperative Office (PCO) recently granted P2.822 million interest-free loan to cooperatives and individuals here.
Governor Faustino G. Dy III said the loan, which will be released through the PCO is a component of the Bojie-Rodito Opportunities (BRO), a priority program of the present administration aimed at improving the services of the provincial government in agriculture, education, health, environment and livelihood.
Governor Dy stressed that the loan is open to all cooperatives operating in the province which have good financial standing and duly registered at the Provincial Cooperative Office.
Dy likewise said, the loan program is also open to Isabelinos who belong to the indigent sector to give them opportunities to start small businesses such as barbecue and fishball vending, sari-sari stores, hog fattening and mini carinderias. “They should present a certification from the Department of Social Welfare and Development as a proof that they are indigent,” Dy explained.
Dy believes that by giving interest-free loan to the cooperatives, they will be able to give better service to their members which will redound to the improvement of their living conditions.
Aside from the interest-free loan, the provincial government has also purchased three units of portable mechanical grains dryer and is again planning to buy another five units to be dispatched to the cooperatives in the province.

Sayo na nanggaling, forum ito, so kung hindi mo maaccept ang sinasabi namin about Ilagan e huwag mo kaming husgahan. Iprove mo na mali kami hindi yung sinasabi mong bitter kami kaya nasasabi namin yun. Malinaw yun. Huwag mong iibahin nanaman. Bumalik ka nlng kasi para makita mo.
why would i be threatened? Ikaw ang kung ano ano sinasabi. Ano ba kailangan ko patunayan sayo e wala ka namang point? Hindi nyo na nga alam sinasabi nyo kasi kung ano ano na ipinopost nyo. Kung sinuman ang nagpopost sa 29xxx basahin nyo lahat ng post kasi ang gulo nyo na. please lang umayos kayo dahil ayaw namin malock itong thread dahil sa mga walang kwentang istorya balatong. I miss the old 29xxx.

Nice program. Hopefully makatulong talaga ito sa mga kapwa mahihirap. Hopefully maexecute ito ng maayos.

Para sa isang good forumer, ok mas magiging mahinahon na kami. Pero hindi namin tatantanan ang mga tiwali at dapat ay pansinin.

Yung mayor dyan, nagooperate daw ng jueteng. Sumbong ng mga kabo.

B_two ikaw unang tumira sa amin. Hindi mo maaccept yung mga post namin about projects sa Ilagan. Sinabihan mo kaming bitter pero ok lng yun sa amin. We're just proving na mali yung inakala mo dahil hindi lang projects o pangyayari sa Ilagan ang kinokomentohan namin. inaacknowlede namin ang developments pero punupuna rin namin ang kapuna puna. Binibigay lang din namin ang other side of the coin para matimbang nang mabuti ang mga bagay bagay.

nabasa ko yan bago niyo mapalitan mga sir. hahaha, paki-abot ang aking pasasalamat kay sir rod! :) alam ko namang maganda ang intensyon niyo sa thread na to, suportado ko kayo! :banana: :banana:

about sa mayor, anong bayan/city ba? Santiago City ba? siguro nga mabuti kung may mag-rereport basta may matibay na ebidensya na maipapakita. mahirap pumasok sa gyera ng walang armas.

Hindi kami magaatubiling magkomento sa mga tiwaling opisyal na supeficial lng ang mga pinapalabas. Tulad ng sinabi mo dati, bantay salakay.

At willy, natumpak mo. Oo sa Stgo, kapitbahay daw ng mayor ang bolahan sabi ng mga kabo.

Wala na si Sir Rod e. kaya tinutuloy nlng namin ito. Hindi kami kasinghinahon nun. Puro magaganda ang pinapakita. Gusto rin naming ipakita yung ibang pangyayari lalo na yung mga katiwalian. Baka sakaling makita rin ng iba.

Sa mga hindi magustuhan, ok lng sa amin, basta wala kaming masagasaang forumer. Pasensya nlng sa mga unang pananalita namin. Maganda na rin sigurong intro yun. Baka sa susunod na mga post namin may mga video na kami at larawan.

hindi paninira yung sinabi kong bitterness, that is the general sentiment of those forumer from ilagan who sent me personal messages after reading your posts. Suggestion ko basahin nyo ang mga post para makita nyo. Hinding hindi ako nag iba ng topic at hinding hindi ko ililigaw ang sinuman, malinaw ang post ko mula umpisa is about ilagan's developments at hindi ako umalis sa topic na yan. Guni guni nyo lang yang pamemersonal. Mas mabuti pa siguro kung maghiwa hiwalay kayo ng account para hindi ganito kagulo ang usapan.

may nakabanggit na kasi nyang bolahan ng jueteng na yan samin before na katabi daw ng bahay mismo ng mayor ng Santiago.. hindi naman kayo pwede magreport sa city hall, delikado, kahit siguro sa kapitolyo niyo delikado kasi baka maraming galamay si mayor don. siguro maganda magreport sa Manila? or sa mga TV Programs kagaya ng XXX at Imbestigador. anong sangay ba ng gobyerno ang dapat lapitan? DILG?

Responsible kami sa post namin. Responsible kami sa post namin. Hindi kami maghihiwahiwalay. May reason kami kaya ganito setup namin. Sa debate, personal parin ang ginawa mo. Pinapalabas mo na gawa gawa lng namin ang mga comments namin. Kung baga bugso ng bitterness kaya kami ngkokomento ng ganoon. Totoo yung comments namin. Hindi ka namin pinipilit na maniwala. Hindi lng naman ikaw ang viewer. May mas dapat makabasa ng mga iyon.

Nagcomment ka about bitterness, niligaw mo parin. Dapat mgpakita ka ng prueba na hindi totoo comment namin about some moves sa Ilagan. Kung concerned ka sa post namin, bumalik ka nga sa Isabela at tignan mo.

as per request. With all respect to btwo. Just want you to know na hindi nmin kinocompare ang Santiago sa Ilagan o Cauayan. Siguro comparison to motivate productivity. Hindi rin kami bitter ho. At lalong hindi kami ngpopost dito sa bugso lng ng bitterness. Totoo lahat ng post namin dito.

Isipin niyo nlng yung positibong bagay na may tumutuligsa sa mga maling gawain at decision. Yun lng. Wala kaming tinitirang forumer dito.

Talamak ang jueteng sa buong Isabela. Ipinagbabawal ng batas ang illegal gambling. Paano kami susunod sa mga ordinansa kung ang leader namin hindi marunong sumunod sa batas?

i don't need to go back to the philippines to know what is going on in isabela and particularly ilagan. hindi nyo alam kung ano ang mga pinagsasasabi nyo. anong pruweba ang gusto mong ilabas ko? may binanggit ba kayong issue? basahin nga ninyo ang mga post ko at mga reply nyo sa mga ito para malaman nyo kung gaano kagulo ang mga comment ninyo.

paano naging panliligaw yung bitterness issue? e yun ang tingin namin sa comment mo or nyo or kung sino man kayo.

kayo ang mag-stay sa totoong purpose nitong thread na ito. this is all about the developments in santiago city and isabela. kung anumang personal na issue meron kayo you should address it by going to the proper authorities hindi yung dito sa ssc. ano ang mangyayari sa pag-expose nyo dito? ano pa bang alam nyo ang hindi pa namin alam about what's happening in isabela? jueteng? corruption? illegal logging? hindi kami pinanganak kahapon lang. kung talagang concerned kayo mag-file kayo ng kaso.

konting paalala lang ulit, ang forum na ito ng skyscrapercity ay para sa mga developments sa santiago city at isabela.

now quote any of my post where i made it appear na nag-iimbento kayo ng salita.

masyado namang negative si 29xxx sa mga projects sa ilagan. How can you be so sure na malulugi ang mga mall? Have you conducted any study regarding this matter to conclude that any mall development in ilagan will fail? Pashare naman jan kasi afaik northstar and talavera thinks otherwise. It would be better if you'll just be happy for ilaguenos for all the developments happening in their town. Do not underestimate the purchasing power of ilaguenos. Please do not agitate the thread by your bitterness.

paano naman sila nakakaawa? Do you honestly think that northstar will just let their php400+ million investment vanish into thin air? They see or know something that we don't hence the confidence in ilagan. I am sure that studies have been made to make sure that these investments will be beneficial to them. These are seasoned business people and i would like to believe that they are aware of their market and business. Imo ang robinsons o sm kahit itago mo yan sa barrio sa ilagan, cauayan, tumauini, santiago, o san guillermo dudumugin pa rin ng mga taga isabela yan. We don't need your concern kasi obviuos naman na may halong bitterness. I wish santiago, ilagan, and the whole isabela all the best.

and one more thing, paano mo naman nasabing sinasakal namin mga investors sa ilagan? Wala namang umiipit, pumupwersa, pumipilit o nananakot sa mga investors para mamuhunan sa ilagan. Everyone is welcome to invest in ilagan. Malawak pa ang lupain sa ilagan, merong coastline, may virgin forest, maraming government offices and employees, malaki ang population, stable ang economy, at malaki ang economic potential. I'm happy na umaangat na ulit ang ilagan.

just be happy for ilagan and let demand, strategy, and competence decide on the fate of these investors, it is a free market after all. Kung kaya ng santiago ay kaya din ng ilagan, gayundin ng cauayan, cabagan at ng buong isabela. Wag nyong maliitin ang aming kakayahan. i rest my case.

nobody is contradicting what you believe in as long as you don't impose it on anybody. we also have our own marching principles. ilagan is starting to move forward slowly since the early 2000's and the fruit of those struggles are starting to ripen one by one. looking forward to ilagan city.:cheers:

kami ba ang kailangang magreality check o kayo? You're not the only people in isabela capable of discerning between a good or a bad decision. Let the investors decide on the viability of their business in ilagan. That is the spirit of a free market economy. Honestly, between what you know and what the ilagan investors know about the business climate in ilagan... i will bet my "bissing-talapi-pesu" on the latter. You hate the word bitter but try to ask other forumers about your previous posts and they'll probably agree that those posts are concrete examples of bitterness. I'm moving on with this... :cheers:

mga bossing, get over it. Basta kami happy sa nangyayari sa ilagan at yun ang importante.

you are barking at the wrong tree. Walang forumer dito na gusto ng abuso, paghihirap, at maling gawain. Just because we do not agree on some things it doesn't mean we cannot agree on other things. Stop being so negative and look at the bright side. If you really want to make a difference then go directly to the agency or office that could help you in your crusades. We love isabela as much as you do so stop nagging us with your negativities.

walang namemersonal sa inyo dito. Guni guni nyo lang yun. Pakibalikan nyo ang lahat ng post ko at intindihin nyong mabuti kasi wala sa bokabularyo ko ang mamersonal. This is a forum so if you cannot accept the fact that other people may have a different opinion anjan naman ang ignore option so you won't be able to see what they are posting. Wag nyong gawing kumplikado ang buhay nyo. Peace. :cheers:

why would i be threatened? Ikaw ang kung ano ano sinasabi. Ano ba kailangan ko patunayan sayo e wala ka namang point? Hindi nyo na nga alam sinasabi nyo kasi kung ano ano na ipinopost nyo.

ayan basahin nyo ang mga post ko

and these are your comments.


Mukhang malabo ang Robinsons mall sa Ilagan dahil may Northstar mall na housing Savemore at Talavera Mall which will house Robinsons Supermarket.

About yung mga plans and designs posted, hindi kaya marketing strat lng yan ng archi? Hanggat hindi yan approbado ng council, wala lng yan. Hangang plan lng. O kahit na approved na kung walang construction, wala din.

Sana matuloy lahat niyan para ok... :)

at PRPB and gatestar... Ok! Atleast you cleared one thing.


For sure, that won't be good for Ilagan's small economy kung itatayo yan ngayon o next year. Magiging saturated na kayo ng malls. Don't get hurt. I'm just telling a fact. Decision niyo nman yan. Good luck to people of Ilagan...

Naexperience ko na yang mga talk na yan. Maraming plans. Its better for you guys to wait!

Lastly, sa mga taong nasa konseho o may pusisyon sa gobyerno, gawin niyo ho ang trabaho niyo lalo na ang mga pinapangako niyo sa taong bayan. Huwag niyo kaming paaasahin. Kung 2015 o 2020 pa itatayo ang proyekto niyo, madi yu iwaragawag tatta!

Sa mga forumers dito na empleyado ng gobyerno, iparating niyo yan sa mga boss niyo sa opisina!

Huwag niyong icredit sa sarili niyo ang hindi pa nagagawa!

At, tulad ng sabi ni btwo, huwag maging bantay salakay!

Malaki ang CDR KING ILAGAN ng five times compared sa Santiago. Pero mas maraming sales sa Santi. Mag oopen na rin pala ang Genaros sa NorthStar Mall ;)

Mukhang hindi malinis ang floor ng Northstar

We usually don't buy meat and fish sa Savemore, kc hindi siya fresh. Luma na.

Ok nman ang Northstar so far, pero konti lng ang tao. Marami pa ring vacant, kaya i doubt kung mabibili mo na lahat dun. Yung isang section ng northstar pala, mga fake DVD/vcd ang benta. Diba bawal po yun?

Mas maganda ang design ng pamilihan arcade ng Santiago, sana ayusin ng city govt ang mga nakapalibot dun.

Mukhang kokonti lng din buyers sa napakaluwang na Savemore ilagan. At yung mga kainan sa foodcourt hindi ganoon kaayos kahit yung food.

Parang small version ng harison plaza ang northstar mall less the branded and expensive clothings and stores...

mag oopen na rin pla ang robinsons SUPERMARKET ILAGAN SOON! Hmm sino kaya ang lalangawin? Curious lng. Very imposible ang isang ROB Mall dyan. Better na gawin ng ILAGAN GOVT e improve nlng nila yung pamilihang bayan. Yan ang tamang gawin, hindi yung gawing rob mall daw which is not feasible.

Sa Cordon local govt. Bakit pati Buying Stations based sa Sntiago City e kailangang kumuha ng business permit at mgbayad ng tax sa inyo? E choice naman ng farmers niyo kung gusto nilang ibenta sa Santiago yung mga ani nila. Hindi nman makatarungan yun. Isang beses lng na pinakuha ng farmer yung palay niya sa Cordon e tataxan na ng napakalaki yung buyer? Mas malaki pa tax niyo kesa sa tubo ng buyer. Ireview niyo yang patakaran niyong yan. Gusto niyo atang ipromote ang monopoly sa lugar niyo e. Take note, choice ng farmer kung saan niya gustong ibenta ang palay niya. Nagmamagandang loob lng ang buyer na hakutin ang palay ng farmer. Business permit at business tax? Appropriate ba ang mga ito sa transaction na yun?

Pwede niyo bng basahin ang section 143 at 150 ng local govt code?

Ang treasurer daw ng Cordon, iniisa isang puntahan mga buying station sa Santiago, at gusto nilang koletahan ng business permit bawat sasakyan ng negosyante kahit hindi nman ginagamit sa lugar nila.

Rest time na siya. Mgbabar na yun. Sorry dahil tutok kami ngayon sa mga totoo at makabuluhang bagay.

About devt sa NorthStar, may pictures kami. Marami siguro ang tao pg rush hour, pero hindi ganoon karami sa inaasahan. About sa demolition sa palengke ng Ilagan, tama lng idemolish yan, palitan into a mall type pero anglabo atang Rob mall yun no? Hindi nman mglalagay ng negosyong malulugi ang lahat. Bababa ang presyo ng mga bilihin, good for the consumers siguro pero too bad for the investors, liit pa collection niyo sa tax.

We're just telling the truth.

Yung bagong sports complex sa Ilagan, mgstart na rin construction, pero yung iba proposed pa lng.

Yung devt sa North Star pinapatag plng ang lupa.

Kawawa nman ang ibang bayan ng Isabela, concentrated ang budget ng Isabela province sa Ilagan. Kaya pala nghihimutok ang Cauayan City, dahil walang provincial project sa kanila khit ng panahon pa ni Padaca.

Ok lng na isang account gamitin namin. For security, para matira namin ang mga tiwaling tao at mga one sided na decisions. Yung orig na 296619 na sinasabi niyo, wala na siya. Tapos na ho ang term niya.

As usual, maraming negosyo ang pumapasok sa buong Isabela. May RAI HOME narin sa Ilagan, Cauayan (main.), Santiago (depot- biggest).

May Yamaha Phil na rin sa Cauayan at Ilagan @ 1 each. 2branch sa Santiago. Maraming construction ngayon sa Ilagan kasama na yung mga govt funded. As usual maraming bagong buildings ang tinatayo sa Santiago pero wala pa yung mga govt funded, magsisimula plng daw.

Yung stop light sa Cauayan mukang may mali sa counting. Mas busy ho ang National highway kaya dapat hong ilaan niyo ang 60seconds go doon. Alam ko naintindihan niyo na ibig ko hong sabihin. Pakichek ulit yung clocking.

Tungkol sa lalangawin? Masakit pakinggan pero totoo yun. Ngayon pa nga lng kokonti ang tao sa Northstar, di tulad sa Inaasahan, paano a pg nagbukas ang Talavera na may Robinsons Supermarket. Tapos susundan pa ng Robinsons mall? Ang labo. Pahalagahan niyo nman ang investors.

Hindi namin kinukumpara Santiago sa Ilagan, dahil walang dapat ikumpara. Anglayo ng agwat. Lahat dun busy. Ok lng daw kahit hindi muna matuloy Rob sa Santiago dahil may lupa na sila dun.

Nakakatuwa naman, Btwo? Bitter? Sinong bitter? E kung gusto niyong mgdagdag ng outsider mall dyan, e di mgdagdag kayo. Concerned lng naman kami sa investor niyo. Siguradong may mghihingalo dyan. Yun lng yun. Hindi namin kinocompare ang Ilagan sa Santiago dahil kita nman kung saan mas asensado. Ang sa amin lang, huwag niyo nmang sakalin mga investors niyo. Na sasainyo yan. Kung mamasamain niyo, wala na kaming magagawa.

Tungkol sa mga proposed, hindi kami particular sa Ilagan lng. Kayo na rin nsgsabi, katagal nakatiwangwang yung tulay nyo.

At hindi ba naunang sinabit ni gatestar ang Robinsons sa Santiago? Talagang wala png construction dun siguro this year. Pero itong si gatestar ngconclude na. This is however beside the point.

Hindi kami negative sa Northstar at Talavera. Pro nga kami e, dahil ayaw naming makawawa investors nito. Hndi ba?

haha... Sasakalin niyo ang northstar at talavera kung papasukin niyo ang robinsons dyan. Yun lng yun. Kaya nga ang proposed ng grupo nmin pagandahin niyo ang palengke niyo into mall type. Ikaw unang namersonal ha. Iniba lng nmin approach namin, sinasabi mo nang bitter kami. Bumalik ka kaya sa Isabela at ikaw ang tumingin at mag assess. Lahat ng lugar sa Isabela ina assess nmin, kahit Santiago. We are looking on all sides. Ayaw naming maging epokreto.

Huwag niyong sabihing sa Ilagan lng humahakot ng boto ang governor dahil sa Cauayan humakot ng husto at natalo si Padaca.


Take note hindi kami bitter dahil hindi na kami mgbibigay ng proposal kung wala kaming malasakit sa Ilagan. Kung ayaw mong tangapi, kawalan mo na yun hindi kami.

We believe in the principle of moderation and we have to be factual and true to ourselves.

We are applying it to any city or town in Isabela. So one might be wrong when he/she accused us of bitterness!

Looking at one side alone is a downfall.

See our postings as a warning rather than a threat.

And please check the meaning of free market. There is no such thing a free market in the Philippines and more so that it is not applicable in certain matters specially when the discrepancy between the rich and the poor is heaven and earth. Go back and look for yourself. Do some reality check.

Tama nga ang sabi ng iba pag talo sa argument titirahin personally. One concrete example ang ginawa mo. Don't judge kung ikaw wala kang alam. Go back to the Philippines and say it your own. Siguro nga wala kaming kakayahang tumingin sa tulad ng gusto mong ipahiwatig, pero mas nakikita ng mga mata namin angkatotohanan kesa sayo. Open market ba ang ginagawa ng konseho ng Ilagan halimbawa sa pag approve o paghikayat sa isang negosyante hal. May pakekeelam.

Wala kaming pinersonal dito until you judged us personally.

Halos araw araw kaming naglilibot sa Isabela, nakikita namin ang pagbabago. Nakikita rin namin ang abusado. Kami bilang Isabelino ay ginagamit din namin ang judgement namin para masabing one sided ang mga decision, unfair, unjust ang mga namumuno. May karapatan kaming ibulalas ang mga karaingan namin ng walang tinitirang forumer dito. Maliban nalng kung tirahin kami personally. Manatili sa usapan, huwag ilihis at tirahin ang katauhan.

Nakikita namin ang pagtayo ng mga mall na yan. Ngunit kaming matagal nang negosyante'y dapat tulungan. Darating ang araw, kami'y isang alipin lamang dahil mghahari ang mangilan ilan. Sa ngayon palang iilan lamang ang may kapangyarihan, paano na kung ang munting pagmamayari namin ay unti unting makakamkam.

Ang kailangan namin ay mga daanan, bahay at pagkain. Tubig at elektrisidad. Huwag niyo kamng pagrentahin sa napakamahal na silid dahil sa mga ilang malls palang hirap na kami.

Pagandahin niyo ang aming silid huwag niyo kaming pagrentahin ng napakamahal.

Happy kami sa development hindi lng sa Ilagan kundi sa buong probinya ng Isabela. Sad kami sa mga abusado at pahirap!

we're not barking at you. Ikaw lng naman ang feeling threatened e. Anong tawag mo sa judgement mo sa amin na bitter kami, hindi ba comment mo yun sa aming personalidad? Hindi lng ikaw ang nagbabasa ng forum dito, marami sila. Sobrang natakot nga yung iba at ipahanap pa yung isa sa amin. Ngayon, kung gusto mong kumampi sa kanila, panindigan mo. Bumalik ka sa Isabela para malaman mo ang sinasabi namin.

Sayo na nanggaling, forum ito, so kung hindi mo maaccept ang sinasabi namin about Ilagan e huwag mo kaming husgahan. Iprove mo na mali kami hindi yung sinasabi mong bitter kami kaya nasasabi namin yun. Malinaw yun. Huwag mong iibahin nanaman. Bumalik ka nlng kasi para makita mo.

Nice program. Hopefully makatulong talaga ito sa mga kapwa mahihirap. Hopefully maexecute ito ng maayos.

Para sa isang good forumer, ok mas magiging mahinahon na kami. Pero hindi namin tatantanan ang mga tiwali at dapat ay pansinin.

Yung mayor dyan, nagooperate daw ng jueteng. Sumbong ng mga kabo.


sino ngayon ang paiba-iba at namemersonal?

ang sagot "ikaw" . Buti nman binold mo yung diretsong tira mo sa amin. Hindi ka namin sinasabihan ng kung ano. Binibigay namin mga komento namin sa mga proyekto at pangyayari, pero ikaw sinasabihan mo kaming bitter. Isa ka ba sa mga pulitikong tiwali kaya ka natatamaan? Basahin mo nga at tanungin mo sarili mo kung tamang husgaan mo kaming bitter. Hindi mo ba alam na mas may matinding akusasyon ang salita mong "bitter"? Patas ang mga komentong binitawan namin, at higit sa lahat ay totoo. Pero ikaw binabahiran mo ng bitterness mga post namin. Kung hindi ka sangayon e di sabihin mo mga points mo, hindi yung sasabihin mong bitter kami.

May mga post kami dyan na hindi para sa Ilagan lamang kundi para sa lahat ng pulitiko. Bato bato nlng sa langit. At higit sa lahat hindi patama sa isang forumer. Hindi namin hinuhusgahan ang pagkatao ng isang forumer dito.

Baka tanungin mo pa yung pagtira namin sa pulitiko. Remember tayo ang boss nila, may karapatan kaming sitahin ang nakikita naming tiwali. At may mga prueba kami kung bakit nasasabi namin yun. Bato bato sa langit. Tulad din ng nababangit mo. Bantay salakay.

the old 29xxx will never agitate this thread because he really loves this thread. he knows very well the rules in these forum and i believe he won't post anything that could possibly lead to this thread's closure. whoever you are just stick to the thread's original purpose.

my bad... i should have not fed the troll.:)

Babalik din daw si sir "old" 296619 kung tapos na siya sa pagaaral niya. Iniba na namin password dito, kaya hindi niya na to maaccess. Huwag kang magalala b_two hindi ito masasara. Wala namang matindi dito. Sa economy thread nga nagpepersonalan na yung iba at tinitira nila mga pulitiko tulad ni GMA AT PNOY. Pwede naman sigurong punahin ang mga tiwaling opisyales ng hindi sinisira ang isang forumer at pangalan ng Isabela.

Magiging fair naman kami sa post namin.

Sige, sa uulitin.

our very own wendy lucas failed to win any crown in the bb. pilipinas pageant nevertheless i'm still proud of her achievements. :cheers:

nice set of pix you got there, bro. thanks.:cheers:

Nice pictures. Pero mukang may siningit na minatigas na bad word. Sayang perfect sana. Good pics anyway.

We have pictures of entire Isabela. May kaaya aya at di kaayaya. We can post them both if we want, pero request na magaganda lang daw. We will comply anyway.

Thanks to the contributors.

Magandang araw!

nice images dude! way to go!

Thanks!

Mga kakabsat. Siguro noon napapa-what the hell kayo sa mga nangyari sa Tugue and Cagayan thread. Ngayon ako naman hehe. Magbati-bati na kayo para maiwasan mangyari dito yun. As a reader, I think both sides have good points. I understand sir b_two's upbeat feeling about what's happenning in Ilagan and his concern about those who may voice out their varying opinions about the same, and after reading all of the various 296xxx's posts I thought they have valid reasons as well for reminding us of the negative effects of progress. Nevertheless, let us all remain calm however candid we are about our postings and try to present our opinions with utmost civility which you guys have so far done. That is unless you guys want to keep us readers entertained rather than educated. :)

Talamak ang jueteng sa buong Isabela. Ipinagbabawal ng batas ang illegal gambling. Paano kami susunod sa mga ordinansa kung ang leader namin hindi marunong sumunod sa batas?

even here in tuguegarao, may mga patagong nagooperate ng jueteng! napakahirap talgang buwagin ang isang bagay kung marameng maralita ang nkadepende dito. hindi ba ok yung proposal nun na ilegalize yung jueteng? pero if ver, wala dapat retroactive effect, para kung sinu mang pulitiko ang napatunayang prumoprotekta o nagooperate ng jueteng nung illegal pa eh mabigyan ng kaparusahan.

Parang lotto at yung sa Sta. Ana. Profits will be properly accounted and will be used to fund certain projects and support the needy in general. Hindi ang napupunta sa bulsa ng iilan.

There was a movie of Kevin Costner I saw somtimes ago. One of the cast said "Build it and they will come". He was refering of course about the playing field in the "Field of Dreams". It could happen to the fast and booming development going on, in Ilagan. However plausible, there is always a risk involve in every development in such short period of time. Nevertheless, I would suspect that the developer/owner have done their homework before they even launched their projects. They would have not gotten into it without looking at every sides of the development spectrum. When businesess and other development start sprouting in the community, there are some investors that are willing to take risk in this kind of venture while it is still on the early stages of the community's economic emergence. Meaning that "Risk Takers" that has some dough to spare would like to get a piece of the economic pie brewing in the community (Ilagan)
For now I thought the mall is almost abandoned by shoppers except few people taking photos. But that could change!

Also, take note though that Ilagan is not a city just yet, and politically speaking they still can take advantage of any government funded projects, which they always has, being the capital of Isabela. Plus they have a large number of electorates. Ilagan has a huge potential in economic development and in tourism.

There is also a drawback in any development, and that is sustainability. Too many of the same project/development in fast phase would have a negative impact in overall economy of the community
it serves.

Jai Alai yung nasa Sta. Ana. dinarayo yun ng mga foreigners. ang mga naglalaro dun eh hndi lang mga pinoy, may spanish, chinese, etc. napapanood siya sa solar sports

it serves. this is exactly my point. Investors take risks but before they do they do all sorts of studies to make sure that the odds of success is in their favor. We are in a democracy which promotes a free market economy and everyone who wants to take a share at the pie is welcome. A healthy competition is somewhat beneficial to the general public in terms of choices, prices, and diversity. The sustainability of their business would rely on their strategy, preparedness, dexterity, creativity, business ethics, and capital. "strike the iron while it's hot," as some would put it. In the case of ilagan, all these developments didn't sprout overnight. It all started in 1990 when the provincial capitol was relocated in alibagu. Slowly one by one real estate developers and commercial establishments followed like the am city development which took almost 2 decades before they started constructing the northstar mall. So unlike what is being claimed that the growth is too fast it is actually the opposite. The struggles that started on the following decade, 2000's, is now bearing its fruits. Along the national hi-way starting from alibagu the evidence of growth is now visible... Resorts, hotels, subdivisions, malls, agri establishments, restaurants, and others. Ilagan is hot once again. I am happy for what's happening in ilagan and i am hoping that the same thing would happen to all of isabela.

Ang punto naman namin, malabong pumasok ngayon ang robinsons sa Ilagan given the present condition. Pero inisip niyo na isang paninira yung opinion namin. Hayaan nating ang Robinsons ang magisip hindi ang local govt ng Ilagan ang manghila sa Robinsons papasok. Hindi kasi ok na pilit gustong gawing Robinsons mall ang palengke ng Ilagan dahil, una tataas ang renta ng mga nagbebenta. Pangalawa, hindi pa nakakabawi ang Northstar at hindi pa nga ngbubukas ang Talavera. Maraming maliliit pang negosyo ang kayang kayang wasakin ng Rob mall. Given the population density, malayo pa. Kaya nga para hindi makawawa ang negosyante ...

Hayaan nating magdecide ang Rob kung papasok sila o hindi, yun ang totoong ibig sabihin ng free market, open market o ano man.

wala namang namimilit sa robinsons na magtayo sa ilagan. Kahit ipagduldulan namin ang bayan namin sa kanila ay walang mangyayari kung ayaw nila. Tandaan natin na ang robinsons ay isang multi-billion company at lahat ng kilos nila ay kalkulado. Kung sa tingin nila ok sa ilagan ang mall e di welcome sila. Kung sa santiago e ok na ok pa din. It won't really matter kung saan sa isabela basta meron kasi siguradong dudumugin. Regarding northstar at pagbawi sa puhunan nila, we cannot stop other malls from doing business in ilagan. That is called protectionism, monopoly and favoritism. The only thing that ilagan government can do is to make sure that the playing field is leveled. As i've mentioned previously their sustainability and survival will rely on the factors i've already enumerated such as strategy. let the consumers decide what's best for them.

this is exactly my point. Investors take risks but before they do they do all sorts of studies to make sure that the odds of success is in their favor.

And I agree with you totally. Had they (investors) not given a lot thought before even surfing the economic wave of Ilagan, it would have not came out the way it did. And it is perfectly normal for investors to take risk. You made your point quite clearly. Other forumer pointed out though that building another mall in the old town of Ilagan would not be as viable as other people would think. And I agree with him too totally. However considering the distance of the future mall in the old town from the recently completed mall in Balibagu? and the future infra, ie: bridge, it might work. But quite frankly, although I am not an economist, could be a slippery slope to navigate. The success of any business which remains to be seen, really depends on the people/community it serves, and its location.

:cheers:To Ilagan's economic success.

I would also like to add that given the economic vibrancy of Ilagan, it is plausible that more businesess would take footings in the community. However as I have pointed out earlier malls depends mostly on the population's disposable income. I am not saying that Ilagan's populations are not capable of supporting another mall, I am just concern if getting another mall to the fore would be sustainable. IMO, it is highly unlikely just for the time being though. But give it another few years down the road, it might just work.

may lotsa pizza na pala sa cauayan,may nakita ako na poster nito pero i haven't seen the building yet,,wala sa highway

i guess it all boils down to the mall proponent's decision as per their studies. if they think that constructing a mall in ilagan's town proper is too risky for them then it is only logical to assume that they might not continue with it. on the other hand, if their studies indicate otherwise then they are most welcome. if it is indeed a robinsons mall (only my example, the mall developer is still unknown and could be a local government funded mall) it will be viable without a doubt. why? simply because it's robinsons. the name would vouch for itself. as i've mentioned before, you can construct it anywhere in isabela and 100% sure it will be full of people.

i am also sure that the people behind northstar and talvera have already considered that future competitors are inevitable as ilagan continues to progress. these people are not damn nor stupid, i am assuming that they are aware of what's happening around them and i am assuming that they are prepared to joust with the competition head-on.

*Alibagu

ang ilan pang mga lugar na dapat nating abangan bukod sa santiago at ilagan ay ang cauayan city, roxas, san marinao (multi-billion projects), and tumauini (multi-billion projects).

^^^^

*san mariano

soon to open pa rin ang jollibee at mcdo sa northstar mall ilagan,,akala ko dati sa talavera square yung mcdo based dun sa wikipedia na ngayon ay napalitan na ng goldilucks hehe :)

Sabi nyo e. Theres no wrong in dreaming. In reality however, malabo ang Robinsonsmall ngayon sa Ilagan. Wla namang ipiniplit pero sabi nga sa FYI daw sa amin, pinagusapan na sa konseho. Ilagan is vibrant but not enough to save whatever must e saved.

Ayaw namin ang Robinsons mall sa Ilagan sa ngayon.

^^^^

pinag-uusapan pa lang naman dahil nga may mga taong lumapit. syempre yung mga opisyal ng ilagan gusto rin nilang magkaroon ng contribution sa progress ng bayan. ganun din ang sitwasyon sa sm, camella at waltermart.

if something comes out from their dialogues ay saka malalaman ang lahat ng detalye at kung matutuloy ba.

kung magtatayo ng sm, robinsons, puregold, waltermart o kahit ano pa mang mall sa santiago, i will definitely be happy not only for santiago but also for isabela.

:cheers:

agree at 1st par ng post 269. 2nd par hindi. The LGU of Ilagan has the power to regulate. Pagandahin nalang nila ang palengke

post 274 malinaw. Agree. Nasa Ilagan parin ang decision. Masaya na kaming matimbang nila ng mabuti.

SA MGA TAGA ILAGAN ISABELA MALAYONG MALAYO PO KAYO SA SANTIAGO CITY AT CAUAYAN CITY.di pa po pwedeng itayo ang robinsmall dyan dahil mauuna muna ang santiago at cauayan.dahil pag dyan tinayo ang robinsmall sa ilagan isabela lalangawin lang po..sa cauayan city po gagawin ng 3 storey building ang city market at lalagyan po ng savemore nito at yung old market ilalagay po sa city terminal.. nakalagay po yun sa harap ng palengke proposed...go go go SANTIAGO CITY CAUAYAN CITY

Kahit mauna ang Ilagan magka SM o Rob ok lng, basta siguraduhin ng lokal na pamahalaan na hindi mapagiiwanan ang mga purong negosyante ng Ilagan. Bagamat sa kaalukuyan ay hindi pa kami sasangaon na papasukin na si Rob. Maganda ang nagiging katayuan ng Ilagan sa kasalukuyan at mas magiging maigi pa ito kung sosoportahan ng Ilagan LGU ang mga negosyante nito sa pamamagitam ng pagpapaayus ng mga tamang pasilidad para sa mga malliit nitong negosyante. Palakasin ang mga maliliit na namumuhunan lalo na ang mga purong Ilagueno. Hindi ang dayuhan.

this is not all about who gets what first nor a mine is better than yours thing. We just want to let those interested to know to have an idea of what's going on in ilagan. These developments no matter how big or small are all important to us. Why? because we love ilagan as much as you love your own city or town. What's important here is the fact that there are indeed indicators of progress and that investors are upbeat with our town once again after a long, long time. As mlk jr. Once said, "i had a dream..." and true enough obama was sworn as president several years after. It is not as if we are saying that when we all wake up tomorrow we will already see a robinsons or an sm mall in ilagan... As much as i want to... it doesn't work that way.

For Buntun. Madalas yung mga pinapasok na negosyo sa Santiago, ipapasok din sa Cauayan. Marami ding bagong negosyo dun. Yung ibang distribution centers sa Santiago, nagopen ng outlet sa Ilagan tulad ng Rusty Lopez at otto.

Punuan ang tao sa mga banko sa Santiago at mukhang marami ang pera ng mga tao ngayon. Anihan na kasi.

Busy din ngayon ang city gov sa prep ng Pattaraday.

May mga newly concreted roads ngayon sa Patul area going to San Isidro - Villa Gonzaga area. May ilan ilan ding streets na nilalagyan ng drainage.

Puno na ng street lights ang Sinsayon area.

May mga tinabunan at tinatabunang area sa bawat entry ng Santiago. Ano kaya itong mga ito?

Dagdag. Sinakop na rin pala ng SANWAD ang Nagassikan area, mukhang naghuhukay sila para sa installation ng tubo. Madaming construction para sa mga bagong negosyo. Ang mga city gov projects kaya, kelan sisimulan?

Madami ding tinatayong bahay sa Santiago.

Sa Ilagan ok na mga connecting bridges maliban dun sa tatapusin plng na bridge. Ang Roxas galing, connected na sya sa Cauayan, Ilagan, Tuguegarao at Santiago.

Measles Immunization campaign starts in Isabela City! Stgo.

soon to rise na din po ang SM SAVEMORE market sa Santiago City...together with DEVELOPMENT BANK OF THE PHILIPPINES...according to a reliable source..3rd quarter of tis yea ang construction...yung na vacate na lot po beside INSULAR LIFE ang construction site...

@cauayan santiago: sir napanuod ko po yung news regarding dun sa tie up na mangyayari between city goverment of cauayan and sm savemore sa tv patrol cagayan valley,,,mukhang ayaw po pumayag ng mga market vendors association...actually,nagkaroon pa po ng rally...

@296619: sir tuloy pa din ba ang construction ng robinsons mall-santiago?
how about yung mga nabanggit ni mayor amy sa SOCA niya like:
> childrens park in sinsayon?
>welome marker?
>diversion road?
>santiago city eco-tourism zone?

does anybody know kung kelan po maaoopen yung ARCADE 1 ng santiago city?

Yung Arcade malapit na daw. Yung mga pinangako sa SOCA dapat lang na magawa. Wala namang problema sa budget nyan, isang bilyong tumataginting ang pera ng Santiago ngayong 2011. Mga 230 milyon na natangap ng city gov sa IRA plus tax collection ngayong april kaya may budget na para simulan ang mga proyekto.
Tungkol sa childrens park, yung existing na nasa tabi ng South Central malamang pagagandahin lang din yun.

Yung circumferential dapat simulan na nila yun, funded daw ni JPE yun.

Yung Robinsons darating din yun.

Xtian, ibig mong sabihin may ARCADE 2 na itatayo?

May tinatayo din sa tabi ng Central Terminal, yun ba yung bagsakan center?

Xtian, ibig mong sabihin may ARCADE 2 na itatayo?

@296619: yes sir...yung lot ng fire station beside nung arcade 1 yung magiging site ng arcade 2...bale under construction na po yung paglilipatan ng fire station sa CITY TERMINAL...sana the soonest mataposna para mai start na din po yung construction nung arcade 2...actually tapos na po yung groundbreaking...madami pang upcoming projects ang city goverment..kaya antayin na lang po natin..anyway...by May na din i start yung pagapatayo ng mga COBRA STYLE POST LIGHT along the stretch of Mabini hanggang Divisoria

Palagay ko hindi muna magagamit yung tax collections ngayon or in the immediate future. Dadaan pa yan sa BIR and Finance Department at sisipatin pa ng COA bago ireredistribute in the form of IRA. Next year pa siguro. Yung local income in the form of rentals, sales and business permit fees ang nasa discretion na ng local gov't kung gagamitin kagad or otherwise.

ILAGAN ROCKS!

IRA share plus local tax and other income daw.

Ok kung nggroundbreaking na sila for Arcade 2. Magiging maayos ang old plaza at luluwang ang daan sa Panganiban. Sana maganda yung in and out ng daan, daloy ng trapiko sa area nun para mall type na rin ang dating.

Maliban sa Mga dagdag pailaw at Arcade 2. Inaasahan namin na mas maraming proyekto ang maipapatayo ngayon dahil sa laki na rin ng budget.

Yung mga sidewalk vendors daw sa Santiago city, dati nang inalis yang mga yan pero bumabalik. Mukhang matitigas ang ulo.

Malinis ang mga daan sa Santiago, pati na rin mga kanal. Sana'y maayos na maimplment yung ordinansa para doon.

Malapit nang matapos yung extention building ng Southern Isabela General Hospital. Marami na ring high tech equipments ang naipasok sa La Salette Hospital at marami pa raw ang ipapasok. Nagooperate na ito partially at di hamak na mura daw ang singil.

Goodluck Santiago City!hehe..
ingat tayong lahat :)

nice! may arcade 2 pa pala nagagawin, iba kaya design nung 2nd arcade? :)

@ xtian awesome anung date mu napanuod sa tv patrol isabela yung rally balak na itatayong sm save more sa cauayan

Grabe lumabas din ang totoo... So what you really want is robinspn should be constructed in your city... Not anywhere else.

Look at the real issue. Hindi lang iisa ang lugar namin. We have already laid our reasons.

Wrong inference.

Don't just quote one of our many posts about that project.

We are just categorical of what we want and what we propose.

Wala kaming sinasabing sa city na ito dapat at hindi kailanman sa lugar na iyan.

Don't think bad about us because we don't judge any forumer's person here.

Yung second arcade dapat may similarity sa 1st para nagandang tignan, tapos sana ilandscape nila yung buong area para magandang tignan, magmumukhang mall na tlaga yun.

Yung mga taga Stgo cityhall pwede nilang iconfirm kung totoo yung arcade 2. Dito lang din namin narinig ang project na yun.

Grabe lumabas din ang totoo... So what you really want is robinspn should be constructed in your city... Not anywhere else.
i didn't want to pinpoint the obvious because i know forumers here are not that naive not to notice. Other forumers and i have sensed the resentment even from the very first reply. After some exchanges i remembered that this is a forum and everyone is entitled to voice out what's in their mind. There may have been friction in views but i believe the most important thing is that we were able to see things at other people's perspective. As i've been pointing out all along, the location of the mall is not an issue for me, i'll be happy if it's in ilagan, santiago, cauayan, roxas or anywhere in isabela. Sure there are many things to consider but most of those things are not for us to decide. Nevertheless, we play an important role to their sustainability because afterall we are their target market.:cheers:

I totally agree with you. But I have to admit that which ever city/town gets the first break would be surfing high at least for the meantime, till other city/town get the next one. And it is highly likely given the economic vibrancy of Isabela and its newly minted cities. :cheers:

^^^^

i agree. but i am hoping that isabelinos transcend municipal borders and embrace the fact that in order to attain true progress in our province we need to support each other. imo we don't need to step on each other's head nor pull each other's leg to attain our goals. :cheers:

We dont want to be narrow minded.

Kung sa tingin niyo driven by resentment or some evil motive yung mga post namin, kayo na ang bahala dun. Hindi naman kami ang magdadala.

Nakikibaka kami sa mga one sided decisions.

Wala naman masamang maging categorical.

Kung mga taga Cauayan nga nagmartsa para iprotesta ang pagpasok ng Savemore lang e.

Lahat ng pinost namin ay totoo.

Looking at one side alone is a downfall

Desisyon parin yan ng Ilagan at masaya na kami kung titimbangin nila ng mabuti. Ngunit para sa amin, hindi pa talaga nararapat sa ngayon ang Robinsons lalo na kung yung public market ay bubuwagin at gagawing private. Mas may magandang paraan at yun ay ang proposal namin.

Bumalik nalang kayo sa Pilipinas para makita niyo mga boss.

Minsan o kaya madalas dapat matapang. May paninindigang ipamulat ang katotohanan, lalo na't makapangyarihan ang madalas na tiwali.

Hai naku 29XXX, i love your place santiago... i am not against any project/mall to be erected there. But with your words "AYAW NAMING ANG ROBNSON SA ILAGAN" naku mukhang marami kayong masasaktan niyan and ako na nag isa dun.It;s ovious ayaw niyong maungusan ang santiago sa development, thats the reality, its obvious by how you post your opinions here... I seldom do posting messages here pero sobrang bigat sa dibdib ko nung nabasa ko ang mga postings ni 29XXX.

Malinaw ang nabangit namin. Ayaw namin ng Robinsons mall sa Ilagan sa ngayon. Kakatayo lng ng North Star at pabukas palang ang Talavera na may Rob supermarket. Kung itatayo ngayon o sa susunod na tatlong taon ang Mall, magiging saturated yan at baka masayang lang ang mga itinayo na. Mahihirapan pa ang mga lokal na namumuhunan.

Napagusapan na rin lng dati, hindi sa mall makikita kung progresibo ang isang bayan

just registered....

i have property investments in richmond hills and the opening of northstar mall appreciated the value of my investments. do you think if northstar fails it will be beneficial to me? definitely not. but i should think beyond myself and prepare for things that are yet to come.

Don't worry we have not seen any land depreciating not unless it is located in a fault line or place prone to calamities or danger like erosion.

Timbangin lang nila ng mabuti dahil kailangan ding isaalang-alang ang mga maliliit na negosyo.

Isang magandang paghahanda ang patayuan ng kaaya-ayang pwesto ang mga maliit na negosyante lalo na ang nasa mga publikong palengke na siguradong hindi kayang magbayad ng mahal na renta.

@bronx: welcome!

@29xxxx: land never depreciates. it is the only asset or property which does not depreciate.

Yung mga taga Stgo cityhall pwede nilang iconfirm kung totoo yung arcade 2. Dito lang din namin narinig ang project na yun.

Absolutely correct guys. The construction of Arcade 2 will start on June, to be specific, first week of June. The cost is 100M and it is expected to be completed within 6-8months. It has resemblance with arcade 1 only bigger.The initial budget of 25M was already approved just recently, coming from the 2011 supplemental budget. FYI

i am proud to say that i come from a long line of market vendors. I have relatives and friends who own market stalls all-over the philippines... LIke in aparri, tuguegarao, paniqui, baliuag, santiago, ilagan, cauayan, san mariano, legazpi, divisoria, baclaran, and as far away as dipolog and kidapawan. One thing i've learned from being raised in the palengke environment is the resilience of market vendors and thus paving the way for brilliant ideas like bargain centers, tiangges, night markets, bagsak presyo and other strategies to stay in the game. Do we really want the local government to promote monopoly and favouritism? Imo the local government should promote an investment environment that has a level playing field, transparent, mutually beneficial, and progressive.

i better stop my rhetoric before i get accused of grandstanding. Lurk mode muna until further developments. Mabuhay ang isabela!:cheers:

@cauayan santiago: sir napanuod ko po yung news regarding dun sa tie up na mangyayari between city goverment of cauayan and sm savemore sa tv patrol cagayan valley,,,mukhang ayaw po pumayag ng mga market vendors association...actually,nagkaroon pa po ng rally...

Wow! :cheers:Honestly, I do admire the "Vendors Association of Cauayan" for standing up for what they believed in. I am not against any big business taking roots in the city of Cauayan, but given the populations of the city at the current figure (135 grand?) look like it is not sustainable, just yet. Plus the likeliness of choking or even killing small businesess is a possibility. Perhaps in five years or so, once the population increases and the disposable income goes up. What the city should do for now, is to attract investors in the manufacturing sectors and producers of consumer goods.

We absolutely agree with ephesus. Proper time will come.

Marami din po kaming kakilalang maliliit na negosyante in Luzon area na nilamon ng mga malls. Karamihan sa mga ito ay empleyado nlng at iba ay nagsipagabroad para makapagtrabaho. Kaya para hindi mangyari, kinakailangang palakasin muna ang mga malliit na negosyo sa pamamagitan ng pagpapaganda sa kanilang mga pwesto. Yung hakbangin ng Santiago LGU ay isang magandang halimbawa.

Thanks willy for responding. We are looking forward to that new arcade.

For Lloyd.

The value of land may also depreciate in some instances. Try mo icompare value ng lot sa Fukoshima prefecture ngayon sa dati nitong presyo. O kaya dun sa Sendai.

For B_two

Level the playing field! Yes, we agree!

Opening na po tomorrow talavera square mall...

DoJ prosecutors, gagamitin na rin sa monitoring vs illegal gambling

Ikinabahala ni Justice Secretary Leila de Lima ang muling pag-usbong ng jueteng operations sa ibat-ibang panig ng bansa partikular sa mga lalawigan ng Pangasinan, Isabela, Cagayan, Oriental Mindoro at maging sa National Capital Region (NCR).

Sa pulong nina DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo at de Lima, iniulat ng dalawang kalihim na mistulang nabuhay na naman ang jueteng sa ibat-ibang bahagi ng bansa sa pamamagitan ng operasyon ng Jai-Alai na isang uri ng legal na sugal at nasa ilalim pa ng prangkisa na aprubado ng Games and Amusement Board (GAB).

Ipinagtataka din ng DoJ chief kung bakit kumakalat ang operasyon ng jueteng sa ibang lalawigan, bagama’t limitado lamang sa Cagayan Valley ang operasyon ng Jai-alai na pinapatakbo ng Meridian na pinamumunuan ni dating 'Bingo King' na si Atong Ang.

Kaugnay nito ay inatasan ni de Lima ang mga provincial prosecutors na magsumite ng imbentaryo o status ng anti-gambling cases na kapansin-pansin ang pagtaas sa mga nabanggit na lalawigan.

Makikipagtulungan din ang DoJ sa pamamagitan ng Office of the Solicitor General sa DILG upang tugunan ang suliranin sa muling pagbuhay sa iligal na sugal.

Bridges and buildings identified as vulnerable to quakes
by Merlito G. Edale, Jr.

CAUAYAN CITY, Isabela, April 12 (PIA) – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) first engineering district has identified the bridges in Ballacayu in San Pablo; Magasi in Cabagan; Minanga and Angcol bridges in Ilagan, all located at the first district of Isabela, as vulnerable if a strong earthquake hits the province.

The old public market building of Ilagan, two-storey school building and six (6) classrooms of the Isabela National High School were also tagged as vulnerable to quakes based on the results of the monitoring and inspection of the DPWH.

DPWH 1st engineering district head Renato Ubina said that he has ordered the monitoring and inspection of all the infrastructures in his area of jurisdiction to check the durability and strength of all bridges and buildings to avert damages when a powerful earthquake occurs.

Ubina added that the said bridges are still being used by the public particularly light vehicles but trailer trucks are no longer allowed to pass through the said bridges to prevent further damages.

The DPWH head has advised motorists who carry loads exceeding the regular 15 tons limit to refrain from using the vulnerable bridges. # TCB/MGE PIA- Isabela
