I am very sure aabot pa yan ng 2013 after election. Haha

exaggerated nman cla kng aabutin p ng 2013. buong term nya frm 2010-2013 yn lng ang ngawa nya.

2010 project pa yan ng city gov't kaso 2011 na nasimulan. Sa may kanto ng Bartolome St. sa Caggay hanggang sa Larion Alto. Alternative bridge/road yan sakaling masapawan ng tubig ilog ang Pinacannauan Overflow Bridge para hindi na kailangan pang umikot ng Peñablanca.

wow nice prject pro kng ako s knila jan mganda sna kng ung overflow brdge nlng ang pnalitan nla at itinaas kc dun kramihan dmadaan ang mga tao.

^^ Hindi naman yata regular na university yang GRU. Baka theological studies lang ang concentration nila sa tertiary level so they don't need to be accredited by any agency such as CHED. Anyway pwede rin naman silang mag-open ng regular courses na hindi kailangan ang board exams at non-transferable yung mga credits ng students kung wala silang accreditation. Yun ang pagkakaalam ko but I'm not 100% sure about it.

Tama! Kung titingnan wala masiyadong infra projects ang Provincial Gov't ngayon. Bukod sa renovations ng Cagayan Sports Complex wala na. Yung rehabilitation naman ng mga ports sa downstream hindi nila project yun kasi. Hindi rin naman nila project yung NCIA although may cooperation din naman sila pero wala talaga yung project na solo nila. Yung Provincial Library na hanggang ngayon hindi pa tapos noong 2007 pa yun. Simula 2007 nung umupo si Antonio wala siyang maipagmamalaking nagawa, hehe. Napansin ko lang.

wow nice prject pro kng ako s knila jan mganda sna kng ung overflow brdge nlng ang pnalitan nla at itinaas kc dun kramihan dmadaan ang mga tao.

Okay na rin yun basta ang importante may bagong daan na sakaling masapawan yung overflow bridge.

Yun ang pagkakaalam ko but I'm not 100% sure about it.

Ang alam ko kahit anong course mapa theological studies o mapa board o non-board courses na io-open nila kailangan pa rin ng accreditation ng CHED kasi private school sila eh. Meron kasing tinatawag na government recognition sa bawat program na bubuksan ng isang private school to see whether the school is capable of offering that course/s hindi gaya ng sa mga public/gov't schools na hindi na kailangan, mag-open lang sila kung kailangan although under control pa rin ng CHED. Gaya noong nag-open ng BS Nursing ang UCV at USL na naging issue pa nationwide. Di ba meron din yung tinatawag na SO o Special Order na galing sa CHED bago tayo grumaduate na nilalagay sa diploma at OTR natin for authentication na graduate talaga tayo. Ewan ko lang ah basta yun ang sa pagkakalam ko. Everything na may kinalaman sa higher education kailangan may accreditation ng CHED.

Maaring ganon nga as far as regular courses are concerned. Iba kasi ang mga school na ganito kung mga members lang ang pwedeng pumasok ibig sabihin parang exclusive training within the organization lang ang offered and its not like the university that we all know. Pwede pa rin nilang i-present yung diploma nila outside the organization as part of their resume kung mag-aaply sila pero nasa company na yan kung i-ho-honor nila o hindi.

Feature: Restoring Tuguegarao’s historical landmark, the Rizal Park
Friday 3rd of February 2012

Whether Cagayanos admit it or not, the Rizal Park of Tuguegarao City is in a very bad shape. No thanks to the vandals and other criminal elements who have used it at one time or another as a stop-over for their nefarious activities in the past.

The lot where it now stands was first dedicated by Governor Honorio Lasam to the national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal on August 17, 1918 where it complemented another historical building at its side, the old residence of the gobernadorcillo during the Spanish regime.

Tourist drawer
Leon Avila who witnessed the development of the area in the 1970s claimed that prior to its massive development during the incumbency of Governor Teresa Dupaya from the mid 1960s to the early 1980s, it has always been an obscure lot highlighted only by a monument of the hero.

When Dupaya, a teacher by profession and who was called the ‘Dancing Governor of the Philippines” by Panorama magazine , took the reign of provincial governance in the late 1960s, she introduced aggressive improvements in the area.

“It became one of the attractions of the province then. It has since graced various Cagayan tourism promotions flyers and brochures, magazines, and newspapers,” Avila noted in 2010.

Drumbeaters of the Dupaya administration claimed it was the first replica of the original Rizal Park or Luneta in Manila in the entire Northern Luzon area. It features a beautifully landscaped garden, a ‘dancing fountain,’ and a grass-carpeted lawn where Cagayanos loved to spend their evenings.

It short, it was a tourist attraction by itself and like the Luneta of Manila, locals and visitors could not resist the lure of photo opportunities whenever possible.

Sanctuary
However, as early as the mid-1990s when the park was no longer a priority project of the Cagayan Ppovincial government, it started to deteriorate.

Dim-lighted and with no assigned security, the lawless elements made the park their base and meeting ground. The park's sullied reputation drove residents to shun the area.

Soon, even the plants wilted and died; and other simple amenities were destroyed. Its fountain, once the pride of the park, has become an eyesore. In short, the Rizal Park of Tuguegarao was slowly dying.

To the Rescue
Only last week, a group of student-leaders from the Cagayan State University took it upon themselves to do something for the park, inspired by other movements for a cause elsewhere in the country.

Leo Romano, a legal management student of the College of Business Entrepreneurship and Accountancy , councilor of the student organization , at the same time project leader of the "Move Cagayan: For A Change, Run For Rizal Park” said that as a resident of Tuguegarao, he saw the deplorable condition of the park, once the playground of his parents.

“We were supposed to join the "Run for Ilog Pasig" last year where we were supposed to run too, but Pasig is too far from us. My friends just came up with an idea that we can also run for a cause here in Tuguegarao,” he said.

Immediately, the group unanimously decided to make the park their rallying point. At first, it was a simple run for the student organization of his college. When they broached the idea to the university administration, its president decided to make it a university undertaking.

Thus, the “Move Cagayan: For a Change, Run for Rizal Park" project was born with Romano as the leader.

The students plan to raise an initial P50,000 to finance a new dancing fountain in its original location with Romano’s sister, an architectural student of another university in Tuguegarao, creating the new design.

Being apolitical, the students merely informed the provincial government of their desire to help reconstruct the structure and didn’t bother officials for donations.

“We want to help build a structure from our own sweat without government interventions,” Romano said.

When young professionals in the province learned of such undertaking, they started to throw their support and started registering for the three- kilometer run which will start from the Cagayan stadium to the Rizal Park in Barangay Centro 10.

The students said it will be the start of their dream of restoring the old glory and prestige that was Rizal Park. This early, they already identified other areas within the park which need immediate repair and reconstruction.

“We hope other universities will join us. Regardless of where we study, the fact that we are doing something for our society should be the link that will bind us,” Romano said.

The student-organizers are neck deep into their preparation all for the sake of a forsaken local park.

Wow! Saludo ako sa inyo. Sana bawat school sa Tugue magkaroon ng ganyang activity, parang community extension na rin nila. Very historical pala talaga yang Rizal Park natin sayang napabayaan na. It was the first replica of the Luneta Park in Manila, ngayon ko lang nalaman. Buti pa ang mga concerned students ng CSU naisip yan samantala ang provincial gov't nagpapakapal lang ng bulsa. “We want to help build a structure from our own sweat without government interventions,” Romano said. Ikaw na bro! I salute you for that. ;)

E-trike is the answer to high fuel cost and pollution-free streets - DOE
Saturday 4th of February 2012

DAGUPAN CITY, Feb. 4 (PIA) -- The Department of Energy (DOE) identified an alternative to the soaring prices of petroleum products and unbearable pollution in the cities with the introduction of the ‘e-trike.’

The E-trike, short for electronic tricycle, is a battery-powered vehicle that can seat at least six passengers excluding the driver.

Director Efren Balaoing of DOE’s Luzon Field office said it is the government’s aim to help the transport group and at the same time come out with vehicles that emit low carbon.

The e-trike’s battery just needs to be charged and could be used again the next day. Estimated cost for battery charging, he said, is P50 as against P200- P300 worth of gasoline for a day’s travel.

“Operators and drivers can save much. Gas consumption and pollution can be greatly reduced,” Balaoing said during the Pantongtongan Tayo radio program of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) aired over Radyo ng Bayan- Dagupan Tuesday.

He encouraged local government executives to help their constituents avail of the e-trike. The whole package will cost around P250,000 but could be brought at a lower price once it becomes commercialized, he said.

Balaoing said Filipinos are innovative. Thus, if there is an SUV for sports utility vehicle and AUV for Asian utility vehicle, the e-trike might as well be an RUV or rural utility vehicle, he quipped.

In line with this, the DOE, in partnership with PIA, spearheaded a contest for the best e-trike design which was launched last month and will run until February 17. The top three winners will receive P200,000 each and another seven winners will be receiving consolation prize of P50,000 each. Interested contestants may visit the DOE website at www. doe.gov.ph or the PIA website at www.pia.gov.ph.

Puwedeng puwede yan sa Tugue since tricycle ang pangunahing transportasiyon dito. Kung hindi kaya yung E-jeepney eh di ito nalang E-trike.

SMIC to spend P54 B for mall, property dev‘t
Monday, February 6, 2012
The Philippine Star By Zinnia B. Dela Peña

(02/05/2012) MANILA, Philippines -- Aiming to sustain its double-digit growth, SM Investments Corp. (SMIC), the listed holding firm of the family of retail tycoon Henry Sy, has earmarked around P54 billion for capital spending this year, higher than the P43 billion capital budget in 2011.

SMIC chief finance officer Jose T. Sio said bulk of the programmed capital outlay this year, or around P40 billion, will come from internally-generated cash while P14 billion will be funded by way of equity or debt issue by the group.

This year’s spending budget, the highest ever for the company, will mostly go to mall development and construction of residential and office buildings, Sio said.

He said remittances from Filipinos working overseas would continue to underpin growth across the group’s core businesses.

SMIC owns stakes in mall giant SM Prime Holdings Inc., property firm SM Development Corp., and lenders Banco De Oro Unibank and China Banking Corp. It also holds a 17 percent stake in Atlas Consolidated Mining and Development Corp.

In the nine months ending September last year, SMIC grew its net income by 13.6 percent to P14.2 billion on higher revenue across all its businesses.

SM Prime, the country’s largest retail landlord, has allocated P21 billion for its expansion here and in China. On the homefront, the company is slated to open five new malls this year: in San Fernando in Pampanga, Olongapo in Zambales, Lanang in Davao, Gen. Santos in South Cotabato, and Consolacion in Cebu.

These would bring the group’s total branch network to 46 malls with a total gross floor area of 5.7 million square meters.

Outside the Philippines, the group is opening SM Chongqing, its fifth mall in China which will have a gross floor area of 146,323 square meters.

SMDC, meanwhile, is spending P20.7 billion to launch four to five new residential projects.

SMIC’s hotels and convention centers segment is targeting 1,000 hotel rooms by 2013.


Post ko lang...

Ano kaya ang itatayong building sa may dating St. Pauls Media Center sa may Arellano Street? Ang lalim ng hinuhukay nila don at pati ang katabing building inaayos...

Bangko rin ata yung itatayo dun sa dinemolished nilang tiangge infront of Red Square.

Baka hotel. Sa St. Paul pa rin ba yung lote dun o naibenta na sa iba?

Speaking of banks, bakit kaya hindi pa nagbubukas yung EastWest Bank? Tapos naman na yung construction.

Post ko lang...

wla nman s tuguegarao akala ko b my lupa n cla d2. sna tayuan n rn nla ng mall nla s tuguegarao. puro sabi2 lng nman ata ung sm mall jan.

Speaking of banks, bakit kaya hindi pa nagbubukas yung EastWest Bank? Tapos naman na yung construction.

bka hndi n cla 2loy s pagopen ng branch nla jan s tuguegarao. hehe

bka hndi n cla 2loy s pagopen ng branch nla jan s tuguegarao. hehe

hehehe.. si kapatid. halatang di nagagawi sa tuguegarao.. almost finish na po ang east west bank tuguegarao.. abangan na lang po ang another branch ng BDO and BPI sa city.. sabi ng source ko mag eexpand sila ulit.. di ko lang alam kung saan sa city.. BPI atms may tig isa na pala sa st louis univ at st pauls univ.. tapos landbank atms dalawa machine sa paseo reale tapos 3 din sa regional office nila sa bagay road.. ang taray ah..

nakita ko ang grandstand natin, tapos na ang 2nd phase.. kulang na lang ituloy hanggang sa magkabilang dulo(from deped division office up to the old building of DWPE radio)..

ano balita sa malaking gym ng CSU carig.. guys yung dalawang campus nag uunahan sa pagconstruct ng buildings nila.. may sariling gym din ang CSU caritan campus.. talgang tama nga ang balitang hihiwalay na sila at eventually magiging UP cagayan valley na ang caritan campus.. keep it up tuguegarao...

wla nman s tuguegarao akala ko b my lupa n cla d2. sna tayuan n rn nla ng mall nla s tuguegarao. puro sabi2 lng nman ata ung sm mall jan.

mas ok kung huling itatayo ang SM or rob sa tuguegarao.. mas bago mas ok di ba.. mas bago mas may bagong puntahan.. :lol::lol::lol: sa mga malalaking mall developer kasi, mas mas ok kung maagang nakakabili ng prime lots kasi ang lupa tumataas ang value.. hindi problema sa kanila ang magpatayo.. ang problema nila ay kung pano iconvince ang local govt natin para pumasok sila at ang maghanap ng magandang lugar para sa kanilang construction.. for example, akala natin may SM santiago na, may press release na pero nagka aberya dahil my conflict.. akala natin may rob tuguuegarao na, pinalayas na lahat ng settlers at mga clubs, binakuran na ang primelot sa leonarda noon pero di natuloy dahil may conflict(umabot ata 3 party onwer ang lupa).. sabi nila ang SM sa bagay road daw... but for sure may 16,000 sqm na silang nabili sa tuguegarao.. malakas ang report na sa luna st yun...

kung ako ang mall developer, importante makabili muna ng lupa, yun ang mahirap pagdating sa development ng mall.. dapat very strategic ang location..

hehehe.. si kapatid. halatang di nagagawi sa tuguegarao.. almost finish na po ang east west bank tuguegarao.. abangan na lang po ang another branch ng BDO and BPI sa city.. sabi ng source ko mag eexpand sila ulit.. di ko lang alam kung saan sa city.. BPI atms may tig isa na pala sa st louis univ at st pauls univ.. tapos landbank atms dalawa machine sa paseo reale tapos 3 din sa regional office nila sa bagay road.. ang taray ah..

may LandBank ATM's din sa kapitolyo at sa CVMC...may UCPB ATM naman sa CSU Andrews...

mtgal tgal bgo ngbukas. ngsisimula n nman magsibukas mga bgong business. sna ung mga kilalang business nman. nbasa ko my robinsons mall ng itatayo s isabela. kwawa nman ang tuguegarao npagiiwanan n.

Paano mo naman nasabing napagiiwanan na? As far as business is concern hindi napagiiwanan ang Tugue. In fact kung hindi sa lahat ng aspeto eh majority hindi napgiiwanan ang Tugue, ex. education and commercial. Tsaka it's too early to say that kasi nasa first quarter palang tayo ng taon. Yung Chic-boy at Holiday Plaza Hotel okay na yan for the month of February. Bihira ang may nagoopen ng 2 or more businesses in a month usually 1 lang minsan nga in 2 months ganun pa nga may nagoopen 1 lang.

bka hndi n cla 2loy s pagopen ng branch nla jan s tuguegarao. hehe

Hindi naman siguro sila gagastos sa pagpapatayo kung hindi nila itutuloy ang pagbubukas. I found out na nasa hiring process palang sila kaya hindi pa sila nagbubukas.

@rhevmill
Meron pang ATM sa City Hall pero hindi ko alam kung ano yun. Hehe ;)

hehehe.. si kapatid. halatang di nagagawi sa tuguegarao.. almost finish na po ang east west bank tuguegarao.. abangan na lang po ang another branch ng BDO and BPI sa city.. sabi ng source ko mag eexpand sila ulit.. di ko lang alam kung saan sa city.. BPI atms may tig isa na pala sa st louis univ at st pauls univ.. tapos landbank atms dalawa machine sa paseo reale tapos 3 din sa regional office nila sa bagay road.. ang taray ah..

nakita ko ang grandstand natin, tapos na ang 2nd phase.. kulang na lang ituloy hanggang sa magkabilang dulo(from deped division office up to the old building of DWPE radio)..

ano balita sa malaking gym ng CSU carig.. guys yung dalawang campus nag uunahan sa pagconstruct ng buildings nila.. may sariling gym din ang CSU caritan campus.. talgang tama nga ang balitang hihiwalay na sila at eventually magiging UP cagayan valley na ang caritan campus.. keep it up tuguegarao...

Puspusan na ang construction sa new entrance gate at gym ng CSU Carig. Plano nilang tapusin bago graduation. About sa separation ng Andrews to UPCV (haha tunog UCV) malaki nga ang chance kasi Board of Regents nila majority regional directors ng mga gov't offices. Bali ang seat of power ng CSU System mapupunta sa CSU Carig. Sana nga talaga hindi magbago ang plano nila kapag may bago ng umupo na president.

mas ok kung huling itatayo ang SM or rob sa tuguegarao.. mas bago mas ok di ba.. mas bago mas may bagong puntahan.. :lol::lol::lol: sa mga malalaking mall developer kasi, mas mas ok kung maagang nakakabili ng prime lots kasi ang lupa tumataas ang value.. hindi problema sa kanila ang magpatayo.. ang problema nila ay kung pano iconvince ang local govt natin para pumasok sila at ang maghanap ng magandang lugar para sa kanilang construction.. for example, akala natin may SM santiago na, may press release na pero nagka aberya dahil my conflict.. akala natin may rob tuguuegarao na, pinalayas na lahat ng settlers at mga clubs, binakuran na ang primelot sa leonarda noon pero di natuloy dahil may conflict(umabot ata 3 party onwer ang lupa).. sabi nila ang SM sa bagay road daw... but for sure may 16,000 sqm na silang nabili sa tuguegarao.. malakas ang report na sa luna st yun...

kung ako ang mall developer, importante makabili muna ng lupa, yun ang mahirap pagdating sa development ng mall.. dapat very strategic ang location..

So meaning totoo nga talaga yung balita nun about Robinsons, may share din talaga sila dun sa lot na yun? Kaya pala matagal ng natengga yun kasi malamang nasa korte na yun at alam naman nating lahat ng dekadekada ang aabutin bago magkaroon ng final decision. Anong nangyari bakit parang nag-give up na sila sa lot kasi di ba may bago na silang lot dun sa Leonarda?

Baka hotel. Sa St. Paul pa rin ba yung lote dun o naibenta na sa iba?

hindi yata sa kanila... lumipat na ang Daughters of St. Pauls sa may tabi ng DBP eh...

@antonbirakak
Hindi pa ba nila nasisimulan yung pagra-rubberized ng oval?

@rhevmil
I thought sa kanila pa rin kasi kung sa kanila eh for sure maganda ang kalalabasan nung ginagawang construction dun. Especially kung hotel yun, eh world class ang gagawin nila dun. Hehe alam niyo naman ang St. Paul.

hehehe.. si kapatid. halatang di nagagawi sa tuguegarao.. almost finish na po ang east west bank tuguegarao.. abangan na lang po ang another branch ng BDO and BPI sa city.. sabi ng source ko mag eexpand sila ulit.. di ko lang alam kung saan sa city..

pdamihan b ng branch ang lbanan? dba mas ok kng pdamihan ng bangko. bkit nman up cagayan valley. pngit nman. up of the north dpat.

Off hand, ok fine kung sila unang magkaroon ng malaking mall (SM or Rob). Tuguegarao is exceptional in many different aspects. Just be thankful with what we have here in the province. We are not self confessed pessimist, we are receptive to challenges.

May fault ang Gobyerno at mga mamamayan ng Cagayan. Just be a good and responsible citizen, malaking tulong na yan para sa ika-uunlad ng probinsya.

Tama! angat sila but that shouldn't be difficult to a person who is optimistic and proud of his province.

@ pengue, yan ba ang updated ranking sa population....

Yes, tuguegarao is exceptional in many ways. It is the regional center and center of education in the region. It is has the highest population density. Darating ang time maglalagay din dyan ang mga mall. Ang mahalaga para sa akin ay ang buhay pa rin ng mga tao. The healthier the better.

About municipalities, marahil yun ang weakness ng Cagayan... Try to look at the google map, huwag papalitan ang type of map. Adjust nyo yung laki, dapat nakikita ang magkakatabing bayan. Ang napansin ko, napakalaki ng CBD ng Tuguegarao pero sobrang wala namang core yung mga nakapalibot na bayan. Compare ito sa southern and central Isabela, makikita mo na kahit municipalities may sariling core, lalo na sa southern part. Yan siguro ang dahilan kung bakit allegedly mauuna ang big malls sa Isabela. But it does not really mean na may napag iwanan na dahil may kanya kanyang strength ang bayan at ang Tugue is really very exceptional in many ways.

exceptional nlang lagi s lhat ng bgay? ano ang ikina-exceptional ng tuguegarao? ah oo nga nman exceptional s traffic, pollution, corruption, crimes and in many many ways.gnyan b ang gs2 mong sbihin?

wla n ba akong kakampi d2. 1:many. u might notice fickle minded ako pro i2 kc ung npansin ko s inyo. hndi nman ako gnung k pessimistic. s ibng bgay cguro oo pro pg npagtutulungan kc lalo akong nagdidiin. syempre klangan k dn idefend srili ko.

Hmm IMO, I believe the Center of Education tag of Tuguegarao is hers to keep. The universities in the city would have developed and improved more by the time other colleges become universities. Hindi naman stagnant ang performances ng schools sa Tugue. Try mong icheck kung gaano na kafrequent ang topnotchers from Tugue schools and yung passing rates sa board exams compared nung una silang naging universities.

It's a valid basis for people to believe na magkakaroon nga ng SM dito. What would be the purpose of them acquiring a lot here? Can you site any other reasons?

And sa tingin ko wala namang nagclai2m na magtatayo na ng SM sa Tugue. Ang napapansin ko lang nasasabe eh posibleng magtayo ng SM sa Tugue.

exceptional nlang lagi s lhat ng bgay? ano ang ikina-exceptional ng tuguegarao? ah oo nga nman exceptional s traffic, pollution, corruption, crimes and in many many ways.gnyan b ang gs2 mong sbihin?

Bro, exceptional in MANY ways ang sabe, hindi exceptional in all ways. Ok?
Hindi naman sinasabe na lahat ng bagay maganda sa Tugue. We admit na may traffic, pollution, corruption and crimes sa Tugue(which I believe is common is almost all cities in the country e.g. Baguio, Metro Manila). Wala namang magkakaila dun. Pero meron ding maganda sa Tugue, like the educational and health services na sa opinion ko pinakaOK na dito sa Region 02.

@ pengue, yan ba ang updated ranking sa population....

As of 2007 pa lang yun. wala pa nman latest census but i guess it would be unchanged. opinion ko lang nman.

Bakit kasi napaimportante ng malaki ang population sa karamihan sa atin. Maling pananaw yan. It only goes to show our lack of insight on what is good for our future. Napaghahalatang dito lang tayo nakatingin sa ating sariling bakuran. Tingnan nyo rin ang ibang mayayamang bansa. They are doing everything they can to curb population growth. Hindi ibig sabihin kung mas maraming tao mas mabilis ang pag-unlad. Nakikita ang progress sa effective delivery of basuc services by the government and not on what kind of store a town or city has. A bigger population does not dictate the economic potentials of a city but rather the demand. Ano ba ang importance at relationship ng population sa demand ng market? Kung malakas ang demand ibig sabihin maganda ang kalagayan ng buhay ng tao pero kung walang magandang trabaho mga tao kahit anong dami pa nila hindi ito magiging factor sa demand ng market. That's why tama yung sabi ng iba na nasa gobyerno yan. Kung uunahin nila na magcreate ng good business atmosphere at delivery of basic services gaganda ang buhay ng tao, papasok ang investment at magkakaroon ng sapat na kabuhayan na taman lang sa ratio ng population. At isa pa. Huwag na nating pangarapin na magiging parang Metro Manila din ang mga lugar natin in the future. OK lang mangarap libre naman pero patay na tayong lahat pagdating non. :lol:

@freightrunner, agree ako sa view mo about population.

Just to add lang..pinapatulan ko yung idea na the bigger the population the better with regard to the idea of putting up a business like a super mall. Mas maraming tao sa isang lugar mas malaki ang possibility magtayo ng negosyo all other factors being constant.

Syempre that's not always the case...

Sa tingin ko sa setting na puro mannual or almost mannual, ok yung may malaking labor force. Pero kung high tech, aba malaki ang production kahit konti ang tao.

Pero bakit nga ba tayo nagtratrabaho? Para magkaroon ng magandang buhay. So tama nga, dapat ang objective ng lahat na pinangungunahan ng gobyerno ay upang gumanda ang buhay ng mga mamamayan.

To Rhainne, Just keep it up!! You are just being true to yourself. Actually I appreciate you, because you are looking to both sides of the situation, I mean you are from Cagayan and I know you are proud of it and its growth and development. At the same time tinitingnan mo rin ang development ng ibang lugar to gauge how's your growth and development compared with other neighboring provinces. And you have the nerve to say kung ano ang nakikita mo whether its positive or negative. We should give rooms for negative comments, para makita natin kung saan tayo kulang o anung mga bagay ang kailangang iimprove. Dont you think guys its healthy? No offense meant! Ako sa totoo lang naiingit ako kapag may mga bagong development ang ibang lugar, gusto ko magkaroon din ang bayan ko ng mga ganun lalo na kabilang ito sa mga mauunlad na lugar sa rehiyon. Cagayan is doing well though.

Happy 47th Founding Anniversary to USLT!!!:cheers:
Maiba lang, hehe. ;)

once n mgkaroon na mga kilalang mall s isbela taob n ang tuguegarao. paano nman 3 mlalaking cities ang nsa isbela nsa strategic location p. at take note population ang isa s factor n kinoconsider ng mga mall developers pra mgtayo cla ng mall nla. ung 3 un nsa top 3 s population s buong region2. kng sna lng pnagtuunan nla ng pansin ang municipalities s cagayan di sana preho lng tau s isbela. aminin ntin n angat cla kumpara s cagayan.

Hindi lang naman mall ang basehan para masabi mong maunlad na ang isang bayan. Para sabihin ko sa iyo pareho lang naman yan sa mga local malls dito sa Tugue, nagge-generate ng income at employment. Yun lang naman ang pinaka-purpose niyan, ang kinaibahan lang may pangalan yung mall nila. Siguro nga mas maunlad ang Isabela kaysa sa Cagayan pero hindi yan ibig sabihin na taob na tayo.

npansin ko kc pnangungunahan nyo ung mga blita. khit wla p nmang news o naibalita galing s knila nagaassume n kau n mron dn s tuguegarao. khit s isbela ung blitang itatyo cnasabi nyong mron dn s tuguegarao. hndi kya inggit lng yan kya nsasabi nyo yan.

Hindi naman naming sinabi na magtatayo na sila. Tsaka sabi mo nga di ba sabi namin DAW at YATA, hindi namin sinabing OO MAGTATAYO SILA, iba yun. Napag-uusapan lang kaya siguro na-open yung ganung topic. Kaya nga tinawag na forum 'to di ba? Tsaka kahit sino naman siguro ganun ang iisipin kapag nalaman na may development site na sila sa isang lugar. Hindi naman siguro sila bibili ng lupa sa isang lugar kung wala silang gagawin dun. Ano yun bumili lang sila para wala lang binili lang nila, ganun?

wla n ba akong kakampi d2. 1:many. u might notice fickle minded ako pro i2 kc ung npansin ko s inyo. hndi nman ako gnung k pessimistic. s ibng bgay cguro oo pro pg npagtutulungan kc lalo akong nagdidiin. syempre klangan k dn idefend srili ko.

You actually have a point. :)

You're not being pessimist, you're just seeing things from a different perspective,

coz lots of forumers would tend to go beyond the realities and facts.


To say that a certain place doesnt ROb and SM... is nonetheless maybe true in some ways... but having an SM and ROb speaks volume. :)

nsasabi m lng yan. but deep inside naiingit k rn. just be true to yourselves people. we all know n pnapangarp nyo rn n mgkaroon dn ng mga kilalang mall n yan jan s atin s tuguegarao. kng pgusapan nyo nga to d highest level ang excitement nyo where in fact wla p nman press release or watever. im not dat pessimist if dat wat u think of me. wat i am pointing is dat msyado nyong pnapangunahan ang mga bagay2 n s 22o lng hndi p nman o wla p nman s ktotohanan.

Hindi ka pessimistic sa lagay na yan? Oo siyempre hindi ko naman pinagkakaila na gusto ko magkaroon ng mga mall na yan dito. Inggit? Siguro kung sa mga mall na yan oo inggit ako kasi siyempre gusto ko rin na magkaroon din ng ganun dito sa Tugue. And sa tingin ko ganun din ang marami at kasali ka na dun!?

at isipin mo rn n hndi lng s education ndadaan yan. hndi hbang buhay mgiging center of education ang tuguegarao. not long frm now ung mga colleges s ibng lugar s region2 mgiging university n rn kya hndi m msasabi yan. hndi nman lagi nlang ang reason kaya ganito kc center of edction ang tuguegarao. kc ganito dhil center of education at university belt ang tuguegarao. dhil gnito kc universty belt ang tuguegarao. hndi lgi yan ang basis.

Siguro nga hindi laging yan ang rason pero para sabihin ko sa iyo hindi yan mawawala sa Tugue, yan ang bagay na forever panghahawakan ng Tugue. At yan ang masasabi kong tunay na maipagmamalaki ng Tugue. Huwag mong nila-lang yan kasi hindi basta-basta yan, mahirap makamit ang tag na yan.

nsasabi m lng yan. but deep inside naiingit k rn. just be true to yourselves people. we all know n pnapangarp nyo rn n mgkaroon dn ng mga kilalang mall n yan jan s atin s tuguegarao. kng pgusapan nyo nga to d highest level ang excitement nyo where in fact wla p nman press release or watever. im not dat pessimist if dat wat u think of me. wat i am pointing is dat msyado nyong pnapangunahan ang mga bagay2 n s 22o lng hndi p nman o wla p nman s ktotohanan.

Inggit, meron pero in a very constructive view, Ewan lang namin sa iyo, you are being consumed and keep on complaining so badly. What? you're not a pessimist WOW AH! oh come on it's self evident, you are being gloomy.

Just stop comparing and believe in. This will help us become better person.

exceptional nlang lagi s lhat ng bgay? ano ang ikina-exceptional ng tuguegarao? ah oo nga nman exceptional s traffic, pollution, corruption, crimes and in many many ways.gnyan b ang gs2 mong sbihin?

Sorry to say but your response is a strong evidence of a self confessed pessimist, you are seeing the glass half empty instead of half full. Pwede ring full - full of reklamo! :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:

at isipin mo rn n hndi lng s education ndadaan yan. hndi hbang buhay mgiging center of education ang tuguegarao. not long frm now ung mga colleges s ibng lugar s region2 mgiging university n rn kya hndi m msasabi yan. hndi nman lagi nlang ang reason kaya ganito kc center of edction ang tuguegarao. kc ganito dhil center of education at university belt ang tuguegarao. dhil gnito kc universty belt ang tuguegarao. hndi lgi yan ang basis.

It would be good if you have that strong faith that Tuguegarao will still be the education center of R02 30 years from now. We won't set aside those challenges but keep on believing, definitely won't be good for your if you keep on complaining and looking at Tugue's future in blurred image.

Moving on..

Ang ganda ng building na 'to pag gabi. Nice shots! ;)

hndi dw kelangan. fyi ikaw mismo ang nngunguna s pgsasabi n mgkakaroon ng rob or sm s tuguegarao tpos yan ang sasabihn mo. bgla bgla k atang 2mitiklop.

tol, nagshashare ako ng balita at possibilities.. i share, they share.. im old thats why i love to share.. sa mga tema ng words mo, parang bata ka pa.. bago ka palang sa forum nato.. marami na kaming napag usapang magaganda at di maganda.. kaya ikaw, maki share na lang ha..

kasi ikaw nung una palang, negative kana.. tuloy they think youre ignorant kasi dimo nakikita ang mga malalaki at simpleng development sa bayan natin..

@ rhainne.. nung napapa usapan ang mall matters na yan, you just stated napapag iwanan ang tuguegarao.. thats why im explaining to you hindi mall ang sukatan.. tuguegarao is exceptional, i think, vital!! lahat naman ng bayan sa region II, importante di ba.. kung mall lang ang pag uusapan.. well, sa ibang region hindi na bago yan.. sa pangasinan nga na dating barrio lang, ngayon kabi kabila ang malls eh.. actually REGION II ang naiiwan na..

for me, im not excited na magkakaroon ng mall sa tuguegarao(rob or SM)..the reason that im excited ay para maka pag inquire na ko ng pwesto, makapag pareserve nako ng pwesto sa mall!! yun yun rhainne!!
business?? kumapit kana sa may pangalan kahit hamburger o fishball lang ang tinda mo sa loob!!! sana rhainne, magkaroon ako ng malaking capital para magkita tayo sa isang pwesto ko sa mall.. hehehe..

just want to share this..dati plano namin ang magtinda ng books sa tuguegarao for accountancy, nursing at engineering.. actually kinakausap na namin ang mga students regarding their books they need for their subjects.. abay biglang nagsulputan ang rex, C&E at national sa tuguegarao.. yun ang business!! ganun yun kapatid na rhainne!!! look for the strong points!! kaya tuloy kami hindi masyadong nag push thru ang business.. lakas ng mga kalaban eh!!!!
