Whereas, those ports located outside the urban areas, like the the one in Lipata, is not so convenient to passengers with lots of baggage, because they still have to travel a few kilometers just to reach the city proper.

Yes Reg, I just learned about it today. An champion sa bonok bonok 2008 represented Surigao City sa Kahimunan, pupils of Surigao West Central Elementary School. Nakadaog man daw. its the 2nd or 3rd straight victory of Surigao in Butuan daw. The City has opted to participate in Kahimunan because of the exorbitant cost of participating in Sinulog considering the Bonok bonok foundation is a big failure. Magsalig ra sa LGU for financial assistance, on their own di makatindog.:bash: @Mike nice pix. rally January 19th, 2009, 04:33 AM amo ba? its about a month now wayay hunong an uyan diha..Kaluoy sad lamang those people living sa mga isla sir rally...I read na dagko gihapon an bayod dha..:ohno: Uyan pa gajud inday lamang kuman kay bagan nulandag na.

Mayor Goding was known as “The Builder” in Surigao City. He served as City Mayor for three terms until 1998. He was succeeded by his son, Roland Sering, who unfortunately died in an accident paving the way for the assumption of incumbent Mayor Alfonso Casurra. Last May 2007 elections, the Serings make a comeback in politics through a son, Rico Salvador Sering who won as Vice Mayor. That victory though leave a sour note as it led to the separation of the Matugas-Sering alliance. Nitoy Matugas, Sering’s mayoral candidate accused the Sering camp of betrayal which resulted to the former’s defeat to Mayor Alfonso Casurra by a narrow margin. Goding Sering could have played a major role in 2010 in Cocoy Sering’s candidacy for the city’s top post. mike durero January 20th, 2009, 01:36 PM Mild quake felt on Dinagat, Surigao City By Nikko Dizon Philippine Daily Inquirer First Posted 11:23:00 01/19/2009 Filed Under: Earthquake :omg::omg::omg::eek2: MANILA, Philippines -- A mild earthquake was felt in Mindanao Sunday afternoon, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said.

Ng / Reporter Sunday, 04 January 2009 22:21 THE Philippines is planning to put up four fishing ports near the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the Pacific Ocean after Jakarta decided not to renew an agreement that grants fishing rights to Filipinos in Indonesia. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture (DA), said the move is intended to encourage Filipino fishers to tap the Pacific Ocean EEZ. “With the recent closure of Indonesian waters to our fishing vessels, we have to look for alternative fishing grounds, and the likely candidate would have to be the Pacific Ocean EEZ,” said BFAR director Malcolm Sarmiento. The BusinessMirror tried to contact BFAR to find out why Jakarta decided not to renew the fishing agreement, but Sarmiento could not be reached by phone. The fishing agreement for the 200-mile Indonesian EEZ in the Sulawesi Sea, which expired in 2006, had allowed Filipino fishers to harvest some 80,000 to 100,000 metric tons (MT) more tuna yearly. The Philippines has been trying to renegotiate the agreement, but Sarmiento said earlier that the conditions laid down by Jakarta are proving to be “difficult” for the government. Sarmiento said the Pacific EEZ could be a viable alternative. He noted that it is underutilized for three reasons: tuna and other tuna-like species are seasonal in the area, the design of Philippine fishing vessels are not suitable for operations in the Pacific, and there are no infrastructure facilities in the Eastern seaboard to serve Philippine operators who would decide to operate in the Pacific. The fishing ports, BFAR said, will be constructed in Casiguran, Aurora; Infanta, Quezon; Tacloban City in Leyte; and Surigao City in Surigao del Norte.Sarmiento said these chosen sites for the four fishing ports share two common traits: their geographic location facing the Pacific Ocean and their proximity to existing airports. The fishing ports will be patterned after the fishing port in Davao City which has piers, refrigeration facilities, ice plants and processing plants. These facilities in Davao City enable fishers to unload their catch, process them and export their products to local and foreign markets because of their nearness to airports. :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: SC_00 January 20th, 2009, 01:45 PM :eek:Mild quake felt on Dinagat, Surigao City By Nikko Dizon Philippine Daily Inquirer First Posted 11:23:00 01/19/2009 Filed Under: Earthquake :omg::omg::omg::eek2: MANILA, Philippines -- A mild earthquake was felt in Mindanao Sunday afternoon, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said.

Banahao was part of the old district of Caraga, which later on became the politico-military district of Surigao with Tandag (presently the capital of Surigao del Sur) as its capital. Caraga derives from the word Calagan which means "Land of the Brave" or "fierce people". The Italian adventurer Francisco Giovani Careri, who published a book of travel in the country, cited Francisco Combes, S.J. as a source in saying that Calagan is derived from the two Visayan words: kalag or calag which means soul or people and for land. Surigao officially became the permanent residence of the Recollects on February 1, 1752 when all the canonical books were moved from Siargao to Surigao. The first canonical books bore the signature of Fr. Lucas de la Cruz. Previously, the place was just a "vista" of the parish in Caolo (Siargao). This date may be considered as Surigao's foundation day. It was through Surigao Strait that the fleet of Ferdinand Magellan after a brief stay at the island of Homonhon, sailed into the Philippine Archipelago during the epic voyage of discovery and eventual circumnavigation of the world in 1521. It was this body of water that the Battle of Surigao Strait was fought in World War II, from October 24-25, 1944 between United States, Filipino and Japanese fleets. Surigao is named after the old province (district) of the same name (Surigao). There are many versions regarding the meaning of Surigao; how this was derived. Like Sulo, which means sulog or current. Surigao probably came from the Spanish Surgir, meaning swift water or current. With the division of Surigao into two provinces, Surigao del Sur and Surigao del Norte, the Municipality of Surigao became the capital of Surigao del Norte. It became a chartered city on August 31, 1970. The City was severely affected by Hurricane Ike which hit the City in September 1984. This extract from The Times on 6 September 1984 reports on the aftermath: While more than 300 people are now known to have died, Mr Salvador Sering, the deputy governor, believes 1,000 died in the provincial capital [Surigao City] alone. The city has run out of coffins and people are being buried in mass graves. Some 200 residents of the town of Mainit were reported to have drowned when a lake burst its banks. As the clearing up continues, cholera and typhoid vaccines have been flown to the devastated areas. On September 10, 2007, the contingent from Bacuag, Surigao del Norte, was grand champion in the Bonok-Bonok Maradjaw Karadjaw Festival 2007 at the City Hall grounds in Surigao City. Bacuag defeated the other 6 contingents coming from Butuan City, Surigao del Norte National High School (SNNHS), Province of Misamis Oriental, Surigao City Pilot School (SCPS), Cabadbaran City and Municipality of Jabonga, by showcasing the Inuwak Festival, Bacuag's famous local festival. The contingent received P200,000 in cash and a trophy from the Bonok-Bonok Culture and Arts Association Inc., the organizer of the annual Bonok-Bonok festiva. mike durero January 20th, 2009, 02:47 PM Yes, before little city yang Nonoc Island, kapag gabi na, maraming ilaw at nag-o-operate pa nun ung PHILNICO.

With the division of Surigao into two provinces, Surigao del Sur and Surigao del Norte, the Municipality of Surigao became the capital of Surigao del Norte. It became a chartered city on August 31, 1970. The City was severely affected by Hurricane Ike which hit the City in September 1984. This extract from The Times on 6 September 1984 reports on the aftermath: While more than 300 people are now known to have died, Mr Salvador Sering, the deputy governor, believes 1,000 died in the provincial capital [Surigao City] alone. The city has run out of coffins and people are being buried in mass graves. Some 200 residents of the town of Mainit were reported to have drowned when a lake burst its banks. As the clearing up continues, cholera and typhoid vaccines have been flown to the devastated areas. On September 10, 2007, the contingent from Bacuag, Surigao del Norte, was grand champion in the Bonok-Bonok Maradjaw Karadjaw Festival 2007 at the City Hall grounds in Surigao City. Bacuag defeated the other 6 contingents coming from Butuan City, Surigao del Norte National High School (SNNHS), Province of Misamis Oriental, Surigao City Pilot School (SCPS), Cabadbaran City and Municipality of Jabonga, by showcasing the Inuwak Festival, Bacuag's famous local festival. The contingent received P200,000 in cash and a trophy from the Bonok-Bonok Culture and Arts Association Inc., the organizer of the annual Bonok-Bonok festiva.

In a statement, it also said it would cut production at its Mount Keith nickel mine, also in Australia. In addition, the firm said it would cut some 6,000 jobs worldwide to cope with plummeting demand for its products. The price of nickel, used mainly in the production of stainless steel, has dropped because of the global slowdown. In Australia, 3,400 jobs will be lost, another 2,000 in Chile and 550 at the Pinto Valley copper mine in the US. In the statement, BHP Billiton said it would immediately start "the safe ramp down and indefinite suspension of the Ravensthorpe Nickel Operation". "In addition, the rate of mining at the Mount Keith operation will be reduced in order to preserve its economic viability." However, the company said it would maintain nickel concentrate output. "We fully understand the impact that today's announcement has on our employees, contractors and their families," Jimmy Wilson, BHP's stainless steel materials president, said. "These decisions are never easy but are the consequence of our long held practice of continually reviewing all of our operations to ensure that they are competitive," he added. The announced cuts - which represent 6% of BHP Billiton's global workforce - underscore a dramatic turnaround in the fortunes of mining companies as the global financial downturn is biting into the previously insatiable appetite for steel making, analysts say. The price of nickel has dropped from some $51,000 (£36,700) per metric ton in May 2007 to about $11,550 (£8,300) per metric ton. :( mike durero January 21st, 2009, 08:07 AM GILLAMACS SURIGAO! http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo288/mike_durero/FGRTRT.jpg?t=1232521510 rally January 21st, 2009, 09:31 AM Surigao City has a number of yearly festivals such as Santo Niño de Bad-Asay Feast Day, Suroy sa Surigao, Northeastern Mindanao Classics Mountain Bike & Road Racing Challenge, Fluvial Procession, Bonok-bonok Maradjaw Karadjaw Festival, Commemoration of the First Hoisting of Philippine Flag in Mindanao, and more.

For now, let us not speculate further regarding that matter as it will only result to another senseless argument. But, you know what guys, I don't believe that we had our independence in 1898.

Our history has been in limbo since 1898 and now we are in limbo again with the first hoisting of the Philippine flag. For now, let us not speculate further regarding that matter as it will only result to another senseless argument. But, you know what guys, I don't believe that we had our independence in 1898. I believe that we truly had our independence when the Americans gave our independence after the World War 2. That's my opinion. Let me just clarify that what was discussed here is the first hoisting of the Phil. flag in Mindanao only. The senseless arguments are over actually, as I said earlier, the NHI has already validated that the event occurred in Surigao. In fairness to Butuan after the NHI came out with its final finding, they have ceased claiming and promoting the event already. renvoi January 23rd, 2009, 02:43 AM DEL CARMEN CHURCH, SIARGAO Patron: Birhen sa Del Carmen The bell tower http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo288/mike_durero/ERRERE.jpg?t=1232624052 Side View http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo288/mike_durero/RE3FFFFFFFF.jpg?t=1232624301 The INTERIOR Photos by yours truly taken during their fiesta 2008.

Among the churches, I like the one in Del Carmen and Dapa. Kagana baja nan mga simbahan sa Siargao. I think the churches in Dapa & Gen. Luna are much older than the Cathedral, right? The Church in Brgy. Ipil is also beautiful and old, I hope someone can post a picture of that church here. renvoi January 23rd, 2009, 02:52 AM I'am also impressed with the interior of the Del Carmen Church. Do we have a church in Surigao that is similar in structure or design of the Malate Church. |
