DOTC Usec: Mindanao Railways to start late 2009
Posted on July 4, 2009 by damarre

Quoting local dailies, DOTC Undersecretary Guiling A. Mamondiong has said the long-delayed Mindanao Railways Project would start before the yeard ends.

Accordingly, he expects civil works on the first segment from Cagayan de Oro to Laguindingan, where the Laguindingan Airport is currently being constructed. After the CDO-Laguindingan line, the Laguindingan-Iligan segment will follow, then Iligan-Linamon and CDO-Jasaan. This first phase of the project consists of a 120 kilometer stretch of railway that will pass through the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan industrial corridor. Some 45 tunnels and bridges will be constructed along this phase with a total length of 25 kilometers.

From www.pnr.gov.ph, below are the segments of the MRP.

1st Segment, Phase I (Cagayan de Oro City-Iligan City)

2nd Segment, Phase I (Cagayan de Oro City-Gingoog City)

3rd Segment, Phase I (Iligan City-Marawi City)

4th Segment, Phase I (Marawi City-Cotabato City)

Phase II (Gingoog City-Butuan City-Surigao City)

Phase III (Davao City-Monkayo-Butuan City)

Phase IV (Davao City-General Santos City-Cotabato City)

Phase V (Iligan City-Aurora-Dipolog City-Liloy-Ipil-Zamboanga City)

Phase VI (Cagayan de Oro City-Malaybalay City-Damulong-Davao City)

The planned railway consists of a criss-crossing network of lines linking Cagayan de Oro to Iligan, Iligan to Zamboanga City, and Cagayan de Oro to Agusan and Surigao, as well as extensions to Davao and General Santos cities.

The MRS will consist of six phases, covering a total length of 2,000 kilometers.

sa 2nd pic, there's a portion nga blue. I think if the whole bridge is blue it would look noble/royal. cool colors are very suitable in tropical countries.

Bitaw gwapo ang URIAN blue (its my favorite color), pwede man pod sila mo-pili ug uban nga mga colors, either Chinese Red or SJIT Green hehehe, ayaw lang nang orange kay masuko si BOB. sum-ol tan-awon ang silver balik balik naman dapat pintalan na gyud kay it's time for a change ba pero murag bag-o lang nila gipintal ang bridge ug silver

Mao, this Mindanao Railway project would take long because the gaps of these cities is too far and it will take long to connect each one of these. Also the broadwalk might offer river cruises where you can dine-in SUTUKIL and explore Agusan river. Ang Masao Beach, they should develop it pod like butangan nila ug Magellan's Anchorage shrine such as magbutang ug mga statue nila magellan ug his fleet nga nag-set foot sa Masao Beach. Sa Bood Promontory pod, since naa nay cross, dapat naa pod mga statue nila magellan ug mga pari celebrating the first easter mass in Philippine Soil.

Cebu Pacific ATR 72 bound for Cebu (Notes: Nagka-problema ang Butuan-designated Airbus A319 5J 224 and is undergoing repair maintenance according to Cebu Pacific airport officials. Grabe ang delay. Kawawa naman yung mga excess passengers because the ATR can only carry 70 and they are more than one hundred fifty, and so they will only prioritize the first 70 passengers. So yung mga excess passengers na malayo ang bahay sa airport, binigyan sila ng libreng accomodations ng accredited hotels ng Cebu Pacific, so that they can stay overnight and wait for the next flight of 5J tomorrow. 5J may be having two flights from Cebu tomorrow and may be selecting Airbus A320, Airbus A319 or ATR 72 from their fleet. So daghan na akong gipangyawyaw, ania na ang ATR 72 kanina.

"SM is eyeing additional malls in second- and third-tier cities "

SM to build more malls in Cebu
Monday, July 6, 2009

CEBU CITY — SM Prime Holdings, Inc. is negotiating for the purchase of three properties for the establishment of three more shopping malls in Metro Cebu.

Hans T. Sy, SM Prime president, said the target is to have a second mall in Cebu by 2011.

"We’re in the middle of negotiations. We will come up with some good news towards the third quarter [of this year]. But definitely, we will have at least a second site in Cebu by 2011," Mr. Sy said.

Among the three properties under negotiation is a lot within the South Road Properties (SRP), a 300-hectare property that was reclaimed and developed by the Cebu city government.

Mr. Sy said he hoped to acquire all three properties, each having a size of four to five hectares. Negotiations with the Cebu city government over the SRP started last year. Initially, SM Prime had planned to acquire a 20-hectare property and introduce a mixed-use development similar to that in the Mall of Asia complex.

"If I could [acquire all three], I would. Hopefully, we could do something about SRP," he said. There is presently only one SM mall in Cebu and three others in the Visayas — one in Bacolod in Negros Occidental and two in Iloilo City.

As soon as a deal is closed by the third quarter, commercial development will start immediately, he said. If two or all three properties are acquired, development will be implemented simultaneously. Construction will take between 18 and 30 months.

SM usually starts with small developments, or about 85,000 square meters, but with provisions to expand to 200,000 square meters, Mr. Sy said.

SM recently acquired properties in Davao and General Santos cities in Mindanao. Both malls are scheduled to open in 2011. Two more malls in Luzon are scheduled to open this year. Four others are under construction and scheduled to open next year.

There are now 36 SM malls nationwide.

In China, Mr. Sy said SM Prime would open a fourth mall to be located in Suzhou next year and expand the Xiamen mall toward the end of this year. "China is our growth story five years from now," he said.

SM is eyeing additional malls in second- and third-tier cities there as soon as "brand equity" is strengthened.

In Cebu, SM is focused on completing the Radisson Cebu Hotel, a 400-room upscale business hotel adjacent to the existing SM City Cebu mall, by the end of November this year. The hotel is targeted to be fully operational by December this year.

The proposed SMX Convention Center adjacent to the hotel has been temporarily set aside for lack of parking space, Mr. Sy said.

"The convention center is part of it [hotel development]. But it’s not yet final. We may not have enough space for parking," he added.

Both the hotel and convention center are to be partly funded by the proceeds from the recently concluded P10-billion retail bond offering of the Sy family’s listed holding firm, SM Investments Corp. — Marites S. Villamor

I almost covered most of the islands and islets..but not all due to lack of time..the best way to go around is by boat to cut travel time....the roads are continuously being paved...the Dapa to Del Carmen section, the Dapa-Burgos-Alegria section too....

I must say that congressman Lalo Matugas is doing a good job improving the road system around the island ^^

Yes maybe but it's only for this time that an A320 from Cebu will serve because of what happened yesterday. But it's really true that I've seen in my own eyes.. 3:00pm niabot ang A320 right after the A319 that arrived 2:00pm. That A320 from Manila should've landed at exactly 1:30... and there should be no delay for the A319 flight from Manila since the weather is fair... So far, no additional flights from Cebu Pac. All in all, we have 4 flights of Cebu Pac that landed today.

after the successful launching of Balanghai voyage at CCP grounds in Manila...another second Balanghai shall be built...this time to the place where they once flourished....Butuan ^^

here's the story

Balanghai Circumnavigation Team is planning to build Balanghai 2, here in Butuan City; this is the latest development as former DOTC Undersecretary Art Valdez makes a commitment after successfully completing the Balanghai using ancient construction methods that can now be seen at CCP grounds.

Butuan Historical and Cultural Foundation and Butuan Global Forum will have a major role in raising funds for the realization of the project and of giving opportunity to those living in Butuan to see a Balanghai and be part of another important event in the history of tracing back the pre-Hispanic times of sea travel.

The historical wooden boat will be replicated here in Butuan and the process has started by getting an approval from DENR Caraga to obtain materials like the Dungon which will be sourced locally, the same kind of wood used by the team of Balanghai Project Manager Judail Muyong in building Balanghai 1.

Valdez and the group of people from Tawi-tawi, the home of the Badjaos' Master Builder who created the Balanghai will be coming over to Butuan to start the construction anytime in July 2009.

The Badjaos from the Island of Sibutu are the last community in the Philippines who knows how to build Balanghai using ancient method.

Initial talks are underway to negotiate PPA to use their area in the construction of Balanghai 2.
Instead of earlier announcement that Balanghai 1 will set sail on June 24, Voyage Balanghai will have its maiden voyage on June 27 following the cycle of the New Moon.
Balanghai Circumnavigation Team led by Valdez will have a 20-man team which will compose the Philippine's Mount Everest team with tourism officials and scientists namely, Leo Oracio, Ervin Pastor Ermita, Noel Winceslao, Karina Dayondon, Janet Belarmino-Sardina, Dr. Ted Esguerra, Fred Jamili and Dr. Walter Villasco, 6 Badjaos who will help in navigating Balanghai, 4 from the Special Operations Group of the Philippine Navy, and hopefully, 2 from Butuan.

The Philippine Coast Guard provided a ship to escort Voyage Balanghai on its journey to show their support.

Voyage Balanghai now included Butuan City as part of its stop over in the 7-leg journey around Philippine waters. It will stay in Butuan for 5 days before proceeding to travel towards Cagayan de Oro City and if luck would have it, Balanghai 2 built in Butuan will now join Voyage Balanghai in circumnavigating the world.

If Balanghai 2 will not yet be finished by the time Voyage Balanghai arrives in Butuan, it will catch up in a much later date.

Meanwhile, local historian Greg Hontiveros will join the Balanghai Circumnavigation Team in one of its leg of the Voyage Balanghai to write a book about the Balanghai: “The Maritime Heritage of Southeast Asia.”

Mr. Hontiveros is the author of "Butuan of a Thousand Years" where he wrote:

"In July 1976, antique hunters hit on the remains of a large wooden boat in sitio Ambangan of barangay Libertad, a couple of kilometers south of Suatan. This discovery was unprecedented in Asia: the balanghai boat relics were the eastern equivalent to the Viking boat discoveries in Northern Europe."

In 1987, President Corazon Aquino declared Balanghai as a national treasure

Cebu Pacific ATR 72 bound for Cebu (Notes: Nagka-problema ang Butuan-designated Airbus A319 5J 224 and is undergoing repair maintenance according to Cebu Pacific airport officials. Grabe ang delay. Kawawa naman yung mga excess passengers because the ATR can only carry 70 and they are more than one hundred fifty, and so they will only prioritize the first 70 passengers. So yung mga excess passengers na malayo ang bahay sa airport, binigyan sila ng libreng accomodations ng accredited hotels ng Cebu Pacific, so that they can stay overnight and wait for the next flight of 5J tomorrow. 5J may be having two flights from Cebu tomorrow and may be selecting Airbus A320, Airbus A319 or ATR 72 from their fleet. So daghan na akong gipangyawyaw, ania na ang ATR 72 kanina.

Unsa inyong gisakyan sir filino? Kadtong A319 or A320? Kay duha ka magsunod na CebuPac airbus ang mitugpa kagahapon from Cebu...
The reason why wala mo napuno sir kay napaksi-an man mo ug passengers... pero kung iipon ang kadtong first 70 ug ang second 70 unya Airbus A319 ang equipment, siguradong puno gyud to. Unsaon taman lang nga wala may available nga airbus ato nga time mao na ATR ang gigamit usa. Timingan ra siguro nga gamay ramo kay ang uban didto man gyud sa CebuPac kay dako ang ilahang equipment plus comfortable pa gid unlike sa PAL Ex nga sabad sabad unya guot kaayo unya igang pa daw. Kulbaan siguro ang pilot pag landing hahaha.. last Sunday, kita jud ko mismo sa pag tugpa sa ATR.. pag tugpa sa ligid kay nigamba ang eroplano. kung didto sa sulod, grabeng siyagit sa mga pasahero kay nigamba ang eroplano pag tugpa sa ligid, pero kami nga nagtan-aw sa gawas, pirteng katawa namo haahahaa ^^ :lol:

Kuyaw gyud nang ATR 70 and PAL Express kay since they're gagmay nga aircraft, bundak gyud when they land. Lahi ra gyud ang A319 airbus kay very smooth landing as always. I hope this will not happen again kay pag ka hassle mo lang gyud.

The reason why wala mo napuno sir kay napaksi-an man mo ug passengers... pero kung iipon ang kadtong first 70 ug ang second 70 unya Airbus A319 ang equipment, siguradong puno gyud to. Unsaon taman lang nga wala may available nga airbus ato nga time mao na ATR ang gigamit usa. Timingan ra siguro nga gamay ramo kay ang uban didto man gyud sa CebuPac kay dako ang ilahang equipment plus comfortable pa gid unlike sa PAL Ex nga sabad sabad unya guot kaayo unya igang pa daw. Kulbaan siguro ang pilot pag landing hahaha.. last Sunday, kita jud ko mismo sa pag tugpa sa ATR.. pag tugpa sa ligid kay nigamba ang eroplano. kung didto sa sulod, grabeng siyagit sa mga pasahero kay nigamba ang eroplano pag tugpa sa ligid, pero kami nga nagtan-aw sa gawas, pirteng katawa namo haahahaa ^^ :lol:

Butuan City plays host to 5th Mindanao Educators Congress

July 7, 2009

BUTUAN CITY- Nearly 1,000 educators, all top field school officials from all over Mindanao have started arriving yesterday and today in this regional center of Caraga to attend the 3-day 5th Mindanao Educators’ Congress slated July 8-10 at Almont Inland Hotel and Convention Center here with Education Secretary Jesli A. Lapus as keynote speaker.

This is the first time Caraga Region was chosen to host the bi-annual gathering of educators. The fourth congress was held in Zamboanga City.

This year’s congress theme is “Forging Efforts towards Achieving Education-for-All (EFA) Goals in Mindanao.”

Host Department of Education (DepEd) Caraga regional director Isabelita M. Borres, congress overall chairperson said the congress seeks existing educational programs and projects as they correlate to the Medium Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) and EFA targets in the six regions of the island .

The six regions, aside from Caraga, are Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Southern Mindanao, Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and Central Mindanao.

Borres, who was recently promoted fullfledged regional director (see related story below) said the congress will also assess significant practices in the delivery of basic education as well as benchmark locally implemented projects.

These include the Basic Education Assistance for Mindanao (BEAM) which is largely funded by the Australian Assistance for International Development (AusAID) and Madrasah educati9on program which the ‘DepEd institutionalized two school years ago in all Mulsim-populated elementary schools in Mindanao and other regions of the country, including Metro Manila..

According to Borres, the conference also intends to foster stronger professional camaraderie and forge closer relationship among basic education leaders in Mindanao’s 55 provincial and city schools divisions.

The congress opening program, which has Agusan del Norte schools division superintendent Ponciano Q., Joven as host, reels off with a doxology and singing of the National Anthem, both to be rendered by the Enfant Chui Study Center, Inc.

Joven said Butuan City Mayor Democrito Plaza II and Agusan del Norte first district Rep. Jose Aquino II.will welcome the congress participants who will be presented by region by Education Supervisor II Isidro Biel, Jr. and Secondary Education Division Chief Elvira Mamuag.

Borres said the congress covers 13 plenary sessions where top DepEd central and regional executives will serve as speakers.

Among the speakers, the newly appointed Caraga DepEd chief said, include Education Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Franklin Sunga who will talk on “Revised Rules and Procedures in Administrative Cases”; Undersecretary for Programs and Projects Vilma Logronio-Labrador,

“Instructional Leadership for School Administrators” will be discuss by Undersecretary for Muslim Affairs Manaros Boransing, “Madrasah Education”; Assistant Secretary Jesus Lorenzo Mateo, “Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA): Accomplishments and Updates for Mindanao”; Region 8 Director Sol Forcadilla- Matugas, “Project STRIVE”; Region 10 Director Estrella Babano, “Peace Education in Mindanao”; Region ll Director Susana Estigoy, “The Gains of Project BEAM”; Region 12 Director Luz Almeda, “Best Practices of SEDIP, ATEP”, and Region 9 Director Walter Albos on “CPC/Project Culianan.”.

"Woman Who Discovered Huge Petroleum Deposits in Butuan Passed Away
By Ben on Jun 15, 2008 in Feature, News

BUTUAN CITY- The woman who saw the first burst of black, muddy flammable liquid believed to be huge petroleum deposits underneath the family’s more than a hectare lot at Barangay Pagatpatan here in Butuan City passed away at the age of seventy nine last May 27.

Survived with husband Ireneo now 80 years old and eight children now fully grown up and have their own families, Antonia Bolongaita who was then 53 years old when she saw the first bursting of black, muddy flammable liquid at her backyard never saw development of that discovery.

Worst, the area is now left unattended with tall grasses growing everywhere as the aging couple could no longer physically maintained in cutting cogon grasses and clean the swampy portion near mouth of Agusan River and Butuan Bay.

Early morning on Holy Thursday in 1982, surviving husband now 80 years old Ireneo Bolongaita recalled to this writer it was his wife, Antonia who woke him up after she noticed the first burst of black, muddy flammable liquid in the water well they dug for days as they search for water supply in the area.

Until now, the spewing natural gas was providing family members with free liquefied petroleum gas for years that came naturally flowing from the well.

In the lot where the water well is located, the free flowing methane gas is also providing free gasul for cooking to other Bolongaita family member whose is just situated few meters away.

“This is the only consolation we’ve got” eighty years old Ireneo Bolongaita fondly as Manong Ireneo said when this writer visited him this morning after interviewing him in April 24, 2006.

The methane gas is a colorless, odorless gas and its discovery was in relation to petroleum oil found underneath earth’s crust.

The Canadian engineers in 1985 confided to the couple that the crude oil discovery is only part of the huge fossil fuel deposit found in Mindanao as it also admitted the presence of “Deuterium Gas” at the Philippine Deep found in Surigao.

Foreign engineers and geologists who visited the area and made studies confided to them that the *petroleum* found on their land is only part of a huge fossil fuel deposit in *Mindanao* that extends as far south as the Cotabato provinces.

Bolonggaita recounted how Canadian *petroleum* engineers illustrated in 1985 the extent of fuel *deposits* underneath their land, adding that the Canadian engineering team said they believe the *Mindanao* oil deposit is the source of all the *petroleum* *deposits* in the world.

The Canadians shared with the Bolonggaitas their theory that the *Mindanao* fossil fuel deposit is the mother lode from which other oil producing countries’ crude oil emanates.

Bolonggaita said the Canadian engineers likened the *Mindanao* *petroleum* deposit to a river that serves as the water source of its tributaries.

However, Bolonggaita admitted he did not understand the scientific explanations for this given by the Canadian engineers.

“They were amazed with the discovery and even chuckled when they found out (using) their instruments the extent of oil *deposits* underneath my land,” Ireneo said.

“But when local officials and even some national officials came and talked to these Canadians, we never saw nor heard of (the Canadians) again,” Ireneo added.

Ireneo said the Canadians left them calling cards but added that the Canadians’ enthusiasm over the *petroleum* died a natural death over the 26 years since the engineers’ visit.

The Bolonggaitas also lost the team’s calling cards bearing the logo of the Canadian National Oil Company.

He said many foreigners, including some Japanese and Americans, had arrived on their land ahead of the Canadians claiming to be *petroleum* engineers and geologists but, like the Canadians, they never returned after speaking with government officials.

These foreign engineers and geologists flocked to the Bolonggaita residence after their house was flooded in 1982 “with black, muddy liquid.”

That substance was *petroleum* that had percolated up through the swampy ground and with it came free-flowing methane gas “that emits from the water well we dug,” Ireneo said.

He recalled that their property was featured on the television show “Travel Time” and said their land has become a regular stop for field trips by students from different parts of *Mindanao* .

Bolongaita said foreign petroleum engineers who visited them have pinched in instrument that reach 2,000 feet deep underneath his lot and found the huge petroleum deposits that will reached to as wide as 500 kilometers square wide that will reached to as far as Liguasan Marsh in Cotabato.

True enough of what the foreign engineers were telling Bolongaita years had past, in April 2005, huge deposits of oil and natural gas have been identified in at least three areas in Mindanao , according to the Department of Energy (DOE).

The Energy Department said these big potential sites in Mindanao include the Davao to Agusan basin particularly in Butuan City now being explored by the mainland Chinese company Seng Hong Exploration Corporation.

The Cotabato basin which covers over one million hectares in Liguasan marsh; and the area straddling Sulu and Tawi-Tawi.

But for unknown reasons the project never reached the Bolongaita premises"

Little Shakespeare is a private non-sectarian school.

There are many public schools around Butuan, I think almost every barangay has an elementary school and high school just like Libertad Central Elementary School or Libertad National High School.

It is the tallest in Butuan but Carl Patricks went down so they have to close and the building became abadonned for a short period of time until ORIX Metro and Metro Bank acquired the building and established a bank in the first floor. But Metro Bank transferred and today, the condominium conversion has already begun.
