East West Bank opens 30 branches
By Ted P. Torres (The Philippine Star)
Updated May 10, 2011 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - The East West Banking Corp. (East West Bank) is planning to open another 30 branches this year to bring its total network to 143 and a little more in terms of its automated teller machine (ATM) onsite and offsite network.

Just last month, the commercial bank of the Filinvest Group of Companies opened its 114th branch in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte. The next 29 will be located in various parts of the country in pace with the positive growth of the Philippine economy.

East West Bank wants to dramatically expand its deposits and loan portfolio in the near future as it prepares to acquire its universal banking (unibank) license from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) soon.

East West Bank president and chief executive officer Antonio C. Moncupa said the bank would fulfill all the BSP requirements for its unibank license to maximize its expanding client base.

Moncupa also said that the initial reports of its first quarter performance this year indicate strong growth in its core business.

Trading gains may not be as productive as 2010 considered by many as an outstanding year but difficult to sustain in 2011.

“We do not expect to perform better than the first quarter of 2010 in terms of net income, but we expect to do better in the first three months quality-wise as our core businesses did better than earnings from trading gains,” Moncupa said.

Bank officials said that earnings from January to March this year will not be less than P400 million with the bulk coming from consumer and corporate loans as well as low cost deposits, earnings from trading activities.

Total loan growth grew by some 25 percent to roughly P40 billion. Consumer loans consisting mainly of mortgage and auto loans reached P20 billion while corporate lending was in the vicinity of P18 billion.

“We will be gaining a lot of traction from our core banking business over trading and currency gains, which did exceptionally well last year,” the bank chief executive said.

Moncupa said the bank expects to perform as well as last year in terms of earnings and the quality of its core banking business.

Last year, it return on equity (ROE) was recorded at 19.8 percent, the second best in the country’s banking industry. Capital adequacy ratio (CAR) remained at 15.96 percent, while Tier 1 CAR stood at 11 percent end 2010.

East West Bank already accounts for roughly 20 percent of Filinvest Groups’ gross earnings. “We are still making representations and clarifications with the BSP regarding the specifics of the requirements on unibanking as well as publicly listing,” Moncupa said.

Last year, East West Bank recorded corporate history by registering net profits of P1.81 billion or nearly 200 percent better than the P621.7 million in 2009. The original target was then an optimistic P1 billion.

Butuan artists unite in “Panagtagbo” art exhibit
by Jocelyn E. Morano

BUTUAN CITY, May 10 – Balangay Festival 2011 brings together the finest traditional arts created by 13 Butuanon visual artists during the “Panagtagbo” Art Exhibit that runs from May 2 to 30, 2011 at Butuan National Museum lobby.

According to Likha Caraga President Gualberto Licong, the activity is a great chance to see and learn about Butuan’s art and culture. “We will also provide skills training through free workshops on crayons, cartooning and other mediums. The Panagtagbo hopes to raise the cultural pride and artistic value of Butuan’s local artists under Likha-Karaga,” Licong added.

Almost 40 sculptures and paintings are now on display, and are for sale. These were crafted by famous Davao-based artist Anoy Catague, the multi awarded Jun Licong, and prominent visual artist Kit Gresos. Other artists include Renato Altubar, Dhoods Atamosa, Gogoy Candelario, Venencio Conales, Richard dela Cruz, Renante Dublois, alwin Musa, Casiana Torralba, Ronnie Rudinas and Restituto Sala.

Butuan National Museum Curator Agustina Tamayo urged the public to appreciate local history and culture through the wide-ranging and unique art collections.

“These are the pride of Butuan and our local artists are considered not ordinary artists because they shine in big cities and earned awards ,” Tamayo said.

An eye catching art exhibit is the Jun Licong’s “Lullaby for the City” which uses as medium sawdust and cement that portrays Butuan City Mayor Ferdinand Amante Jr. holding a guitar.

Panagtagbo Art Exhibit will hold every Fridays and Saturdays different art workshops, simultaneous symposium and during weekdays there will be focus group discussions.

On Sundays, last bidding sessions of sold paintings will be taking place. (Jocelyn E. Morano)

Police Region Office holds groundbreaking rites for day care center
by Noel B. Najarro

BUTUAN CITY, May 10 – Police Regional Office 13 held a groundbreaking ceremony for its P400,000 peso day care center located at Camp Rafael C. Rodriguez in this city last Monday.

The PNP regional chief CSupt. Rafal said that this is part of the PNP’s National Integrated Transformation Program, and its promotion of the government’s gender and children welfare agenda.

The guest of honor and speaker during the event was DSWD Caraga Assistant Regional Director Mita G. Lim. A memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the regional PNP and the DSWD was also signed for the establishment and operation of the 60-square meter facility.

Apart from Rafal and Lim, others in attendance were members of the PRO 13 Officers & Ladies Club led by Mrs. Ivy Boquerin, Mrs. Rafal and PSSupt. Aunzo; and officers of the Habitat for Humanity, which will also be assisting the project and some members of the PRO 13 PNP Press Corps. The ceremony was administered by the regional chaplain PCInsp. (Fr.) Marlou Labares were

Rafal during his message said that he had approved the recommendation of the PNP Housing Board, upon the request of the ladies and officers club for the establishment of such facility. He said that the PNP regional office had been busy with the improvement of its operational capability that the improvements of the camp facilities had seemed to be overlooked. He was thankful, however, to the ladies club for conceptualizing the move and for initiating a fund raising activity to put up the day care center. He also said that the building will be fastracked so that it may be ready in time for the opening of classes.

Rafal said that the regional PNP camp is blessed with a bigger area that in the future could be developed to build not only the day care center facility or the ladies and officers club house, but also other structures such as a “theme park” which may feature the history, the arts and culture of the Caraga region.

Future camp developments according to Rafal may include the access road towards the 10-million peso hospital of the PNP and the DOH, a 2-storey training center and more quartering facilities. (PIA-Caraga)

dili baligya ang mga lots sa Butuan City Government Center. But it can be leased subject to approval of the city. I heard that CREATE FOODS (Process Food Cluster of Caraga) already had a lot here for the construction of a processing plant with funding from germany.

another firm eyeing to lease a land here is arriving tomorrow to meet with the Butuan Investment Board on thursday. This firm officially submitted their intent to pour in a P40M investment in Butuan just last monday.

looks like the butuan designs have just been pasted over the shirts. you can just download or get the pictures of those models somewhere in the cyber world i guess. of course when you download or get them ,you'll see them wearing blank shirts .i've seen people using the same method of marketing shirts online . nice designs though. have been to butuan in 2005, by the way, and loved it! it seems that the city has changed extensively since then. way to go!

this is really a good indicator of progress^^.hope more banks will be opening in our city soon

East West Bank opens 30 branches
By Ted P. Torres (The Philippine Star)
Updated May 10, 2011 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - The East West Banking Corp. (East West Bank) is planning to open another 30 branches this year to bring its total network to 143 and a little more in terms of its automated teller machine (ATM) onsite and offsite network.

Just last month, the commercial bank of the Filinvest Group of Companies opened its 114th branch in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte. The next 29 will be located in various parts of the country in pace with the positive growth of the Philippine economy.

East West Bank wants to dramatically expand its deposits and loan portfolio in the near future as it prepares to acquire its universal banking (unibank) license from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) soon.

East West Bank president and chief executive officer Antonio C. Moncupa said the bank would fulfill all the BSP requirements for its unibank license to maximize its expanding client base.

Moncupa also said that the initial reports of its first quarter performance this year indicate strong growth in its core business.

Trading gains may not be as productive as 2010 considered by many as an outstanding year but difficult to sustain in 2011.

“We do not expect to perform better than the first quarter of 2010 in terms of net income, but we expect to do better in the first three months quality-wise as our core businesses did better than earnings from trading gains,” Moncupa said.

Bank officials said that earnings from January to March this year will not be less than P400 million with the bulk coming from consumer and corporate loans as well as low cost deposits, earnings from trading activities.

Total loan growth grew by some 25 percent to roughly P40 billion. Consumer loans consisting mainly of mortgage and auto loans reached P20 billion while corporate lending was in the vicinity of P18 billion.

“We will be gaining a lot of traction from our core banking business over trading and currency gains, which did exceptionally well last year,” the bank chief executive said.

Moncupa said the bank expects to perform as well as last year in terms of earnings and the quality of its core banking business.

Last year, it return on equity (ROE) was recorded at 19.8 percent, the second best in the country’s banking industry. Capital adequacy ratio (CAR) remained at 15.96 percent, while Tier 1 CAR stood at 11 percent end 2010.

East West Bank already accounts for roughly 20 percent of Filinvest Groups’ gross earnings. “We are still making representations and clarifications with the BSP regarding the specifics of the requirements on unibanking as well as publicly listing,” Moncupa said.

Last year, East West Bank recorded corporate history by registering net profits of P1.81 billion or nearly 200 percent better than the P621.7 million in 2009. The original target was then an optimistic P1 billion.

unya dili mosaka ang kilay sa ubang churches? especially katong mga archdiocese?

if butuan has the oldest church in mindanao then deserving ra pod nga diri ang basilica sa mindanao.^^

Just Sharing my thoughts

I think being a diocese or archdiocese cathedral is not a prelude to being a basilica, nor one church is superior to the other. A cathedral is the home church of the bishop in the case of diocese or the archbishop in the case of archdiocese while a basilica is a special church of the pope. You can identify a basilica minore or majore through papal insigña placed in the church facade, while in the cathedral you will see the bishop or archbishop chair.

A cathedral exist when there is a diocese while basilica exist only through Pope’s declaration (I forgot the canon term on this declaration). Pope’s basis to declare church a basilica is not on its physical appearance, nor the size or age of the church but by the deep devotion of the people on the saint where the church is dedicated. For instance the deep devotion of the people of Quiapo make rise the Basilica Minore del Nazareno, the devotion of the people of Cebu to Sto. Niño and Bicolanos devotion to Our Lady of Peñafrancia made Sto. Niño and Peñafrancia Church respectively a basilica minore’s.

Most diocese do not want their cathedral to become Basilica simply because the identity of the cathedral belongs to bishop but the Basilica belongs to the pope. For instance in Cebu the Cathedral and Basilica are two separate church structures although dedicated only to one saint, In Manila Immaculate Concepcion and Nazarene Basilicas is separate from Manila Cathedral in Intramuros, In Naga Metropolitan Cathedral is separate church from Peñafrancia Basilica Minore. I know only one Cathedral and at the same time called a Basilica is the St Peter’s Basilica also St. Peters Cathedral of Rome where the Pope also serves as the Archbishop of Rome.

It is not I think prohibited if St. Joseph Cathedral of Butuan to be declared one as a Basilica where as a catholic I deeply wishes to, but to be one can we prove to the Pope our deep devotion and love to St. Joseph our patron Saint? I may be wrong but my observation is that Butuanons is even more devotee of Sto. Niño rather than St. Joseph. (You can notice this during the celebration of the two fiestas). For instance this coming St Joseph fiesta the religiosity of this occasion is being dwarfed by the Balangay Festival where the ancient rituals is being patronized rather than the religious aspect of the fiesta.:):):)

by Jerylle Anne O. Rivera

BUTUAN CITY, May 10 (PIA) – The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) here has started the registration of new voters, and voters that need to transfer to a new voting precinct.

According to COMELEC, the early registration was intended purposively to prevent muddled situations during the listing of the new and newly-transferred voters here in the city.

Makiling further said, qualified voters must bring the following requirements: birth certificate (for the first registrants), marriage contract and other documents as proof/evidence of their identity.

Moreover, Makiling said registrants will just visit the COMELEC office located at the city hall complex here during office hours from Monday to Friday.

The registration will end on October 31, 2012, it was gathered. (PIA-Caraga)

Officers’ Ladies Club inks MOA with PRO-13 for the construction of day care center
by Robert E. Roperos

BUTUAN CITY, May 11 (PIA) -- The Officers’ Ladies Club has signed a memorandum of agreement with Police Regional Office (PRO) -13 for the construction of a day care center, in a ceremony conducted right after the flag ceremony of PRO-13 in Camp Rafael Rodriguez, Libertad, this city.

According to Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Caraga Assistant Regional Director Mita Lim, as soon as the day care center is opened, PRO-13 should make sure that services offered by the center will really benefit those who will be enrolling especially children aged three to five years old.

In her speech as guest of honor, Lim said that children who will be enrolled in the center should be physically fit by giving them food with right nutrients.

Lim also said the children must also be given the opportunity to possess self-confidence by imparting to them the importance of being independent.

Above all, Lim said the children must be taught with right values and attitude that will eventually lead to have self-discipline. “In this way, they will be prepared for the basic education,” the official added.

Furthermore, ARD Lim stressed the importance of the parents’ participation in the development of their children’s education as well as the other agencies if technical assistance is needed.

“This may serve as a tool to prepare the future leaders of this region by equipping them with quality education,” Lim stressed.

The Officers’ Ladies club is an organization of the wives of PNP officials, including the commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the region. (PIA-Caraga)

Butuanons to experience Balangay boat voyage in a river cruise
by Diamond Year Cupay

BUTUAN CITY, May 11 (PIA) - As part of the month-long celebration of the Balangay Festival 2011 this May, Butuanons will have the chance to experience the Balangay voyage starting Thursday, May 12, 2011.

According to Jean Navarra, Butuan Global Forum President, the project is not intended primarily to generate profit but for the promotion of the boats as one of the tourist spots, not just in Caraga but also in the Philippines. This will also be an educational activity for Butuanon youth as they learn more about the Balangay boat.

Every cruise can accommodate 30 passengers, with a fee of Php 150.00 per head. The fee will cover the fuel expenses, honorarium for the crew, and other expenses during the trip.

The said activity is headed by the Butuan Global Forum in cooperation with the City Tourism Council as supported by the City government of Butuan.

It can be recalled that the said boat was used by members of Mount Everest Team when they traveled some countries in Southeast Asia during their six-months journey last year, an accomplishment which was placed the group in the front page of national dailies both here and abroad. (PIA-Caraga)

Int'l peace group to conduct forum on jury system in Butuan City
05/13/2011 | 10:42 AM

BUTUAN CITY — An international non-government organization seeking to propose a judicial system that would help poor Muslims get immediate justice is set to conduct a forum on the so-called jury system in the city.

Southern Philippines Muslim Unity and Development Association (SPMUDA) said the gathering entitled “Public Forum on the Introduction of Jury System and Empowerment" is tentatively slated on June 12.

The forum, themed “Matuwid Na Hustisya laban Sa Katiwalian at Kahirapan: Daan Tungo sa Kapayapaan at Kaunlaran," will tackle how a jury system works in the country and how it will advance Muslims' search for justice.

Lawyer Bertini Causing, founding president of the Hukumang Bayan and Movement of the Jury System in the Philippines, will be invited as one of the speakers of the forum.

SPMUDA organizers said Causing believes that the jury system would speed up the trial of cases in the country, and that it is pro-poor making it suitable to most poor Muslims involved in several legal cases.

In the jury system, decisions are made by a set of jurors, which are not appointed by public officials. Jurors are randomly picked based requirements imposed by a lawful authority.

In an article on its website, a group advocating the jury system in the Philippines said that in a democratic form of government without a jury system, justice is monopolized by those who are in power.

"We may call it [present justice system] as the "Personalized Justice System," specially by the President who appoints all judges, justices, and prosecutors," the group said.

SPMUDA National Development Office director Aliasgar Solaiman said the target participants to the forum are representative from the various sectors, human rights groups, members of the judiciary and academe, and officials from the Integrated Bar of the Philippines.

Solaiman also said they are expecting Butuan City Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. and Vice Mayor Lawrence Fortun to grace the event.

Founded in 1986 with over 375,000 members worldwide, SPMUDA has been promoting the rights and welfare of Muslims in the country. — Ben Serrano/Karlitos Brian Decena/LBG, GMA News

DILG officers assemble to assess 2011 programs, projects
by Mary Christine Anthonette M. Salise

http://www.pia.gov.ph/?m=1&t=1&id=32364

BUTUAN CITY, May 13 --- The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Caraga regional office conducted an Assembly of Local Government Operations Officers (LGOOs) recently in one of the local convention centers here to assess the department’s projects, programs and activities (PPAs) for 2011.

DILG-Caraga Regional Director Rene Burdeos underscored the importance of DILG’s flagship PPAs such as the full disclosure policy, seal of good housekeeping/ local government performance management system, EXCELL, comprehensive development plan, capdev.

Burdeos also encouraged the LGOOs to popularize Sec. Jesse M. Robredo’s banner program which promotes transparency of LGUs financial transactions which is the full disclosure policy (FDP).

“Our PPAs serve as the cornerstone of this administration so we should institute ownership of functions when it comes to their implementation in the city/municipal level,” Burdeos said.

“Let us serve as point persons to make LGUs follow the DILG directives and instruments for LGUs to excel in local governance,” Burdeos added.

The participants were also given inputs on leadership competencies using the newly introduced ‘A-bility, B-uild, L-ink, E-nable (ABLE) framework’ and the ‘M-indset, P-rocess, A-ction, R-esult (MPAR) tool’ strategies.

Also, they were made to identify the issues and concerns with regards to the PPAs implementation and come up with solutions on how to improve their performance in ensuring that the PPAs are being properly implemented to attain transparent and accountable governance.

To put balance between work and health, Dr. Flordeliz Llesis, Department of Health (DOH) program coordinator on healthy lifestyle introduced strategies on how to manage stress and discussed topics on wellness and healthy lifestyle.

Dr. Llesis emphasized that if one aims to become a good leader, he has to maintain a work-life balance first and be physically fit and healthy. (DILG-XIII/PIA-Caraga)

Energy office targets 600 firms in enercon drive

Saturday, May 14, 2011

http://www.sunstar.com.ph/bacolod/local-news/2011/05/14/energy-office-targets-600-firms-enercon-drive-155470

ABOUT 600 companies nationwide are being targeted by the Department of Energy (DOE) to learn the concept of energy management and measures on energy efficiency and conservation (enercon).

DOE OIC-Assistant Director of the Energy Utilization Management Bureau Jesus Anunciacion told the Philippine Information Agency that they will introduce the concept to 600 companies nationwide and hope the participants will create their enercon committee or group, identify measures on how to save energy within their company, implement these measures and be able to determine their savings.

“The most important is the company policy. Top management should set targets if there are targets made by top management then everybody will follow to have a very good energy management system,” Anunciacion said.

He said Shoe Mart previously is not into energy management but now six to seven of their malls are winning each year in the annual Energy Conservation Awards and they would like to do energy management in all of their malls as they appreciate the system.

“Although we target the big companies because of the large amount of savings which can be generated by them, we do not forget of course the small and medium size companies, which is why we do trainings in the major cities as well,” Anunciacion added.

Meanwhile, the DOE and the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) conducted a national training-workshop on energy efficiency and conservation last May 11-12 at the L’Fisher Hotel, Bacolod City.

The training-workshop, which was participated in by 96 representatives from the academe, commercial and industrial sector and government agencies is the seventh of the 15 runs being conducted by DOE and DAP nationwide. Other cities where the training-workshop had been conducted included Pasig, Davao, Cagayan De Oro, Butuan, Baguio and Dumaguete.

It aims to introduce a concept of energy management and measures on energy efficiency and conservation where participants will be trained to do energy audit and energy consumption monitoring. (CGC)

Punta ka na dito white, the Carnival will be here till end of this month :)

Guys, Let me correct my statement above.

GOOD NEWS!

Ngayon ko lang nalaman that the FIESTA CARNIVAL will stay in Butuan until the month of August for the ADLAW HONG BUTUAN celebration.

I also heard (correct me if I'm wrong) that the company (who owned that Carnival) is renting that lot for 1.5M for the whole duration of their stay here which is from the month of May until end of August. They are also paying Amusement Tax to the city.

Entrance fee is 20.00/head. Rides I heard is 50.00. I am not sure if this amount applies for all the rides, I hope someone can give us info on this :)

it depends on the rides, naai tag 20 pesos for the cup and saucer ride na pang kids, 20 pesos pd ang kating disco2 nga uyog2 na ride. hehe

those new bulbs in Osmena Blvd in Cebu City and now in Montilla Blvd here in Butuan are LEDs (light emitting diodes)....they are brighter (white and warm) yet consumes electricity almost half cut of an ordinary sodium (orange/white) bulb.....and emits lesser carbon imprint

the city will surely save much on electricity costs with this new street lighting technology

hopefully our traffic lights will also LEDs just like now in some intersections in Davao and in Metro Cebu

the city is paying 500,000 a month in rental fees to the province of Agusan del Norte (being a provincial property). This move however has earned the ire of a few critics.That the city could have saved 500,000 in rental fees by just utilizing its existing city playground near ANHS without costs to the taxpayers

The plan I believed is for the carnaval to stay til June in time for the Araw ng Agusan Norte

I'm sorry Bob ha, but whoever these "critics" are, they're bitter lang kay na compare na noun ang BIG difference sa previous na mga Carnivals natin. This year is the first time in the history of Butuan that a Carnival has drawn such huge crowd :lol:

The message is loud & clear, ayaw lang talagang "Baratin" ni Mayor Amante ang mga Butuanons that is why he gave us the best Fiesta Carnival experience ever and at the best location pa :)

naka labay ko diha sa may caraga square area, yes! busy ang naa sa sulod.. murag pas pas man ang development... naay nag sulti sa ako kay resto bar daw ang 2nd level... tapos ang ground level mao ang commercial something.. ambot ug reliable ba ang sulti sa ako.. kay mas updated paman ko kay sa iya.. :D

yes Reg......that huge lot fronting Fatima Foods along Baan Km3 is one of the Plaza properties together with the one fronting BDO-JC Aquino......pero SM was more keen on acquiring the JC Aquino Ave property.

pang future SM na lang daw na sa Baan.

grabe ang foresight sa mga high caliber na negosyante like SM, very foreward looking and with foresight...that's why the Baan property is still in their radar screens

Guys, Let me correct my statement above.

GOOD NEWS!

Ngayon ko lang nalaman that the FIESTA CARNIVAL will stay in Butuan until the month of August for the ADLAW HONG BUTUAN celebration.

I also heard (correct me if I'm wrong) that the company (who owned that Carnival) is renting that lot for 1.5M for the whole duration of their stay here which is from the month of May until end of August. They are also paying Amusement Tax to the city.

Entrance fee is 20.00/head. Rides I heard is 50.00. I am not sure if this amount applies for all the rides, I hope someone can give us info on this :)

::

nope. It's 1.6M ma0 kun0 na gibayad,acording to my mom...nindot man diay ang carnaval binili pa galing korea...

if you're in caraga, the month doesn't matter when it comes to construction coz we only have 2 seasons here. WET and VERY WET. no pronounced dry season.

how about in zamboanga? nag-groundbreaking na ba?

mao pod na story sa akong kaila nga manager sa JB Gaisano. somewhere near BDH kuno.

wala pa man ang rob bob. it's very possible that there are 2 stores in close proximity. lain2x man sila nga stores. that one in estacio can be a party store, drive-thru, express delivery or 24 hour-store or combination.

wow....the earlier version of the Jabee in bayanihan was that near Dotties.....

the Estacio version is much better.....much nearer to a school and a hospital....an ANECO office plus a big upper middle class subdivision right smack at the door step

so Dr Estacio's plan to build an extension BDC and BDH building to that corner lot is scrapped to give way to a Jabee development?

they SHOULD push thru.....considering the return of investment on rentable space can bring to BDH coffers.

Right now, the source of income of BDC and BDH are just the hospital and school and the rents of clinics by the MDs...

what the top management need to realize that growth is coming right their way.... they need to cash in on that by pushing thru with their plan

Presence of 2 Phl Azkals football team members add color to Balangay Festival in Butuan
by Robert E. Roperos

BUTUAN CITY, May 17 (PIA) – In time with the Balangay Festival celebration of this city, two members of the Philippines Azkals football team graced the opening of the Balangay Football League held Monday at the city’s Sports Complex in Barangay Libertad here.

Azkals Kim Relucio and Jerry Barbaso arrived in Bancasi Airport Monday (May 16) to grace the football sports competition, the first to be held in this city, which is also held in time with the annual feast of the city in honor of Patron Saint – Saint Joseph the worker on May 19.

According to Butuan City Vice Mayor Lawrence Lemuel Fortun, the first Balangay Football Festival aimed to promote football in Caraga Region as the said sports discipline is becoming popular here in the country because of the successful undertakings of the Philippines Azkals Team.

Fortun also said the league sponsored by the city government of Butuan and the Butuan-Agusan del Norte Football Association where he is the President has gathered around 50 participating football teams from other cities and provinces in Mindanao, including Davao, Bukidnon, Cagayan de oro City, and the host region-Caraga.

Further, the official said big cash prize awaits the winners which will be awarded tomorrow during the closing and awarding ceremonies.

Meanwhile, to promote the history and culture of the city, a river cruising on board “Sam Tawi-tawi,” a replica of the ancient boat balangay will be conducted daily at the famous Agusan River here, the longest river in Mindanao.

In an earlier press conference, the city tourism office said the river cruising is one way of promoting the rich culture and tradition of Butuan City by tracing the journey of the Balangay in Agusan River where according to local historians here, the river played significant symbol to the richness of culture and heritage of the city.

Further, tonight, nine candidates will vie for the title of Mutya Hong Butuan 2011 where according to Therese Fortun, Executive committee chairperson, the pageant will evolve on the history of the journey of Balangay.

The Balangay or Balanghai is the first wooden watercraft ever excavated in Southeast Asia. Also known as the Butuan boat, this artifact is evidence of early Filipino craftsmanship and their seamanship skills during pre-colonial times.

The Balanghai Festival is also a celebration in Butuan, Agusan del Norte to commemorate the coming of the early migrants from Borneo and Celebes, on board the Balangay boats.

When the first Spaniards arrived in the 16th century, they found the Filipinos having a civilization of their own and living in well-organized independent villages called barangays. The name barangay originated from balangay, the Austronesian word for "sailboat". (PIA-Caraga)

they SHOULD push thru.....considering the return of investment on rentable space can bring to BDH coffers.

Right now, the source of income of BDC and BDH are just the hospital and school and the rents of clinics by the MDs...

what the top management need to realize that growth is coming right their way.... they need to cash in on that by pushing thru with their plan

sayang ang opportunity if dili nila dayunon

Estacio also owns that property & building rented before by NAPOCOR/National Grid in JCAA.

Higit 2,000 tricycle operators sa Butuan City, nakabenisyo sa Pantawid Pasada program
Wednesday, 18 May 2011 09:34

http://www.bomboradyo.com/index.php/news/more-news/53119-higit-2000-tricycle-operators-sa-butuan-city-nakabenisyo-sa-pantawid-pasada-program

BUTUAN CITY - Umaabot sa kabuuang 2,163 mga tricycle operators ang benepisyaryo sa Pantawid Pasada Program ng pamahalaan para sa lungsod ng Butuan.

Ayon kay Director Romeo Solis ng Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG-Butuan), base sa nilagdaang Memorandum sa pagitan ng DILG at city government, aabot P322,000 ang budget na ipapamahagi sa mga benepisyaryo sa Butuan o tig-P158.00 bawat tricycle driver/operator.

Nagpapasalamat din ang mga drayber ng tricycle sa Butuan na nakabenepisyo sila sa programa dahil malaking tulong na umano ang kanilang natanggap na P150 cash sa kanilang araw-araw na pamamasada lalo't na't hindi pa stable ang presyo ng produktong petrolyo.

Panalangin nilang magpapatuloy ang nasabing programa ng gobyerno upang mabawasan ang kanilang pasanin sa araw-araw na kakailanganin lalo na't naghahanda rin sila sa kanilang gagastusin para sa nakatakdang pagbukas ng klase.

Int'l peace group to conduct forum on jury system in Butuan City
05/13/2011 | 10:42 AM

BUTUAN CITY — An international non-government organization seeking to propose a judicial system that would help poor Muslims get immediate justice is set to conduct a forum on the so-called jury system in the city.

Southern Philippines Muslim Unity and Development Association (SPMUDA) said the gathering entitled “Public Forum on the Introduction of Jury System and Empowerment" is tentatively slated on June 12.

The forum, themed “Matuwid Na Hustisya laban Sa Katiwalian at Kahirapan: Daan Tungo sa Kapayapaan at Kaunlaran," will tackle how a jury system works in the country and how it will advance Muslims' search for justice.

Lawyer Bertini Causing, founding president of the Hukumang Bayan and Movement of the Jury System in the Philippines, will be invited as one of the speakers of the forum.

SPMUDA organizers said Causing believes that the jury system would speed up the trial of cases in the country, and that it is pro-poor making it suitable to most poor Muslims involved in several legal cases.

In the jury system, decisions are made by a set of jurors, which are not appointed by public officials. Jurors are randomly picked based requirements imposed by a lawful authority.

In an article on its website, a group advocating the jury system in the Philippines said that in a democratic form of government without a jury system, justice is monopolized by those who are in power.

"We may call it [present justice system] as the "Personalized Justice System," specially by the President who appoints all judges, justices, and prosecutors," the group said.

SPMUDA National Development Office director Aliasgar Solaiman said the target participants to the forum are representative from the various sectors, human rights groups, members of the judiciary and academe, and officials from the Integrated Bar of the Philippines.

Solaiman also said they are expecting Butuan City Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. and Vice Mayor Lawrence Fortun to grace the event.

Founded in 1986 with over 375,000 members worldwide, SPMUDA has been promoting the rights and welfare of Muslims in the country. — Ben Serrano/Karlitos Brian Decena/LBG, GMA News

Butuan City gov’t pushes nat’l tourism recognition
By ARJAY S. FELICILDA, Caraga Regional Bureau Chief

http://www.businessweekmindanao.com/2011/05/butuan-city-gov%E2%80%99t-pushes-nat%E2%80%99l-tourism-recognition.html

BUTUAN City — The Balangay Festival 2011 that all started on the 14th of this month, continues tomorrow with the Mutya Hong Butuan Coronation Pageant, topping the list of events.

Chair Rema Burdeos-Erigbuagas of the City Tourism Council said the brain and beauty competition is taking place tomorrow evening at the Father Saturnino Urios University (FSUU) Gym, with representatives from different sectors of the community vying for valuable cash and in-kind awards.

Preceding the pageant is the ABS-CBN Kapamilya Show, with the ‘Mag-TV’ Group from Cagayan de Oro City and singer-actor Sam Conception.

Earlier in the day, the ‘Kaliwatan’ Fun Run will take the Rizal Park-to-City Hall route. Another event that is expected to draw a good crowd tomorrow is the fancy drill exhibition of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) troopers of the Philippine National Police and the Philippine Army.

Lined-up for Wednesday, May 18, are the following events : motocross at Purok 6 Barangay. Malalag; Down to Mars Concert at FSUU Gym; and a sports academy at the Libertad Sports Complex.

All of these are preparatory to the more crowd-getting events highlighting the annual city fiesta, May 19, such as the Balangay Theater Float Parade Competition, Manobo Street Dancing, Agusan Youth Congress, Boxing Engkwentro sa Kapitolyo and the SMB Fiesta Party/Bar Tour at the DBP area.

Completing the month-long Balangay Festival 2011 are the Christian Music and Dance and the grand alumni homecoming of Butuan Central Elementary School (BCES) and Timber City Academy (TCA), May 20.

Dinner-for-a-Cause at Balanghai Hotel, May 27; Miss Silka Caraga at FSUU Gym, May 28; and the 1st Mayor Jun Amante Taekwondo Friendship Games at FSYY Gym, May 29; and the Santacruzan and Flores De Mayo, from the Rizal Park to the St. Joseph Cathedral, May 31.

City Mayor Ferdinand Amante Jr. will also officiate the groundbreaking for a low-cost Gawad Kalinga – Balangayan City Build housing project in Brgy. Pagatpatan.

The festival concludes with the Partners’ Night, May 31, recognizing those who have extended their respective contributions to the celebration.

The Balangay Festival 2011 is one of the tourism-oriented projects of the Amante administration, through the City Tourism Council, chaired by Attorney Rema Burdeos-Erigbuagas.

In a pre-festival conference with the local media, Attorney Erigbuagas quoted “No matter how slow or fast we row, as long as we continue rowing – we can all achieve our aim… that is to make Butuan City one of the top cities in the country.” (with report from Jennifer P. Gaitano, PIA Caraga)

GOOD NEWS! ...that enclosed area near Caraga Square is NOT a Gasoline Station! Thank God my brother was wrong when he said he saw the logo of Shell:lol:

My source of info is one of the in-laws of the De Castro family, owner of the Caraga square Building. Here's what she told us:

The soon to RISE Building in that vacant lot (photos shown above) she heard will house commercial spaces & a Restaurant. So regjeex's info is correct afterall.
She just couldn't be sure if the owner is Eduhome or Desmark. Basta it's between these two. But we will find out soon :)

She also mentioned that the lot sandwiched between Forever Living & Motorstar will be ONB's site soon. This confirms the info romix shared to us.

Here's the best part :banana:

She also revealed that the whole 2,000sq.meters lot where Caraga Square is standing is now put on sale for 50M bucks. Yipeee! finally, mapulihan na gyud ang Caraga square! :banana:
