"Cebu is second to none."

congrats for the new thread!

Another thread for CEbu City and Province.. so fast. With the new thread, i hope their will be more good news to discuss...

Indeed Cebu is like a litmus test for almost everything in this country. Restaurants, Brands, Bands, they all pray that the Cebuano audience would give them the thumbs up.

Was it Martin Nievera who said that he would never sing in front of a hard-to-please Cebuano audience ever again? Yet, he broke his word and did another concert here recently. I guess it's the ego that asked "I'm a multi-awarded concert performer and I've been well-praised all over the country, except in Cebu. There must be something to break that hard shell. What could it be?"

Hahaha. I find this article really amusing. It's something that makes you nod your head and want to punch someone's face at the same time. LOL. In short, it hurts but it's true. Haha.

Very nice article indeed. Good find, @leviaragon


akong nabantayan no dili kayo ganahan ang mga cebuanos og mga artisit pareho ni martin nievera nga sige lang og balik balik ang style nya sige pangopya og revive og songs sa lain artists, and an artist who looks at himself like his a big star or a diva..im sure mga ingon ana nga klase sa artist di gyud mohit sa cebuanos..maglagot baya tag magsige sigeg kanta og song nga dili ila nya mura na hinuon gimurder ang kanta...kita pa nga hinawayon! Mas ganahan ta og naay iyang style, nya di balik balik kay dali raman gud ta pol-an!
usa pod nga attitude sa cebuanos ngano dili kayo ta mohatag og praise kay tungod we look at each individual as equal..kabantay ka nga dili kayo lagyo ang gap sa pobre og datu diri sa ato in terms og jamming jamming? di man gud kayo ta motingala og taas nato, nya dili pod ta molookdown og taw nga ubos pa nato..we have a sense of self awareness about how we treat people right and how we should place ourselves in a group or in a society. we have a sense of pride at the same time we know how to level off to people...dili gyud na mawala sa ato atong pagkainato! mao maglagot ta og mga taw, like artist nga maghinambogiro og di ta ganahan magpasikat sikat, ganahan ta level ra og magjam rang tanan! hahahaha!

well in my own opinion sad, cebuanos are hard pleasers kay tungod pud na kay we had this mindset na basta gikan gani sa manila "hambugueruon" og "hanginuon" maong everytime a celebrity from manila graces an event here, maglisod gyud siya og please sa iyang cebuano audience kay usa pud na sa mga rason.

para nako no, before they would ever come to cebu to have their concerts, kinahanglan gyud niya ipakita sa mga sugbuanon na deserving siya sa atong DIEHARD support. cebuanos were not born nor raised to be just good in the things they do but cebuanos were raised to strive for the BEST! mao kinahanglan lampasan gyud niya what cebuanos think is BEST!

naay man sad mga performers nga lousy, nya ang mga audience dayon maoy i-blame.
i agree that cebuanos are the Acid Tests for their performance.

Hello! I am particularly interested in exploring Cebu.

welcome cebu traveler! welcome to SSC-Cebu! :cheers:

cebuano ka bai?

But i dont believe na dili sad ta ma please uy.. kay kusog sad bya ta mamakpak.. i attended a concert sa "The Company ug ni Aiza Seguerra" last May, wa ko mopakpak kay para nako dili ko convinced sa ilang performance.. lousy ra kaayo ug beyond quality...
pero at least naa man gihapon mamakpak..
pero dili jud ingon nga hugyaw jud.. morag appreciation sad ba.. usahay.. mo ask pa ang performers na palakapakan naman jan... usa pa mamakpak ang mga audience.. usa naku ato.. hehehe

hehehe...:lol::lol::D

bitaw sad, dili pud biya permamente na hard-to-please ta. tanawa lang nang mga BISROCKERS o. idol kaayo na nako sila.

i suggest, manila base artists, once you do concerts in cebu, try to learn some cebuano songs para mas maappreciate gyud sila sa mga sugbuanon. proud biya kaayo ang mga sugbuanon sa ilang language.

actually, what i 'really' meant is not the support 'per se' on some actors/
actresses-turn-politicians or politicians-turn-actors/actresses (politicians tend
to be near elections :D) but the penchant of many politicians to bring a bunch
of celebrities during their sorties to attract the crowds. i'm not bragging when
i say, in my little years in politics, that the cebu electorate seems to be a
separate breed - bringing pop idols and sexy stars won't work ... well, you may
gather a bunch of celebrity-crazy fanatics but it won't usually convert to votes
(and i know that in some other places, it actually does!). erap got only 10%
of the votes in cebu city (i'm not sure about the province) and FPJ got beaten
4:1 by GMA even if there are thousands of cebuanos who really like him (but
... as an actor). both erap and fpj brought a whole circus of movie celebri-
ties, singing sensations and starlets and what have you, and well, people
flocked to the "free" show, but the results were still dismal for them. to her
credit, GMA knows cebu, and her group didn't bring any celebrity, save for
a few (to attract those who are really crazy for such kind of entertainment.)

i just thought this was maybe connected to the earlier banter on how
cebuanos are hard-to-please ....

ha ha ha maybe you can ask the others. don't ask me - i belong to the ruling
administration party, and we don't make forecasts, we work to attain the
goal. which is --- total wipe out - mayor, vice-mayor, ALL 8 north district
councilors, ALL 8 south district councilors, and the 2 congressmen (north and
south). we did it in 2004 and 2007, and we certainly still has the capability
to do it again. at least, we'll try.

but don't ask us to forecast because even within the party, we don't, we
deliberately calculate our moves and come up with a final slate AND ANNOUNCE
IT the day before the last day of filing of certificates, which is Nov. 30 yet,
he he he he ....

but the others, i think will give you interesting forecasts ....

I experienced landing there through an 8 seater plane... that was last Nov 14, 1990... from Toledo City to Cebu City... that time I saw Cebu from up above, the devastation that was, that I thought from that scene, Cebu can never stand again...but ofcourse, I was wrong...:okay:

"The flower that grows in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all."...And that is Cebu.

The source of pride of the Cebuanos are not the awards that Cebu recieved, but rather on how Cebu was able to stand and survive through the different tests of time and criticisms.

Gotianuns form new hotel-resort unit
By Zinnia B. Dela Peña Updated July 18, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines – The family of tycoon Andrew Gotianun has set up a wholly-owned unit to serve as the corporate vehicle for its newest venture – the hotel and resort business.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Filinvest Development Corp. said the new subsidiary, Seascapes Resort Inc., the Gotianuns’ investment holding firm with an initial authorized capital stock of P100 million, applied Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a corporate license.

The holding company, through its property unit Filinvest Land Inc., has struck a partnership with international hotel chain Aston Hotels & Resorts to manage its planned condotel and resort businesses in Cebu – The Grand Cenia and the high-end Seascapes Resort Village on Mactan Island.

Aston has almost 60 years experience in managing some of the most profitable hotels and hospitality businesses in the world. Originally from Hawaii, Aston entered the Indonesian market in the late 1990s and has an underlying portfolio consisting of 30 hotels, half of which are already operational and the other half still under development.

Aston Indonesia currently manages hotels, resorts, residences, spas, villas, private homes, executive clubs and office towers as well as associations and property management.

Meanwhile, Seascapes will involve the development of 280 casitas and exclusive residential or vacation homes, estimated to cost around P4 billion.

The Grand Cenia condotel, located adjacent to the Cebu Business Park (CBP), will have 25 stories, offering a total of 450 hotel rooms. Construction of the project will require a capital outlay of about P1.5 billion. It is expected to be completed in early 2011.

Cebu mayors told: Close dumpsite in 30 days
First Posted 13:25:00 07/17/2009

ENVIRONMENT lawyers have given the mayors of 32 towns in the province a month to close down their open dump sites or face law suits for violating national laws.

A notice to sue was sent to the mayors through registered mail.

The mayors were those identified by the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) as those who have not yet implemented Republic Act 9003, the “Solid Waste Management Act of 2001.”

“We want to tell mayors to exercise political will in keeping their localities clean. Let’s do our share in protecting the government. The law has been there, it’s time to implement it,” said lawyer Gloria Estenzo-Ramos.

The lawyers, in their notices, told the mayors to start practicing waste segregation, as mandated in RA 9003.

The law gave the local government units until June 28 to comply.

“Open dumpsites, which produce methane, another greenhouse gas more potent than carbon, exist. The local government units responsible for its operation acts as if RA 9003 does not exist,” said the lawyers in a statement.

“It is unfortunate indeed that our political leaders continue to play deaf and dumb to the biggest security threat of all: climate change.”

Among those who attended yesterday’s press conference at the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) function room were lawyers Gloria Estenzo-Ramos, her husband Dante Ramos, Benjamin Cabrido, Democrito Barcenas, Santiago Ortiz, and IBP Cebu City Chapter president Michael Yu.

The lawyers said that Cebu City and Toledo City were not given notices because they had promised to comply with the provisions of RA 9003.

Estenzo-Ramos urged the mayors to follow the example of Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes, who closed down the Umapad open dumpsite on June 5.

The towns that were issued notices were: Aloguinsan, Argao, Asturias, Balamban, Barili, Bogo, Boljoon, Borbon, Carcar, Condova, Daanbantayan, Dumanjog, Ginatilan, Madridejos, Malabuyoc, Minglanilla, Moalboal, Naga, Oslob, Pilar, Poro, Ronda, Samboan, San Fernando, Santander, San Remigio, Sta. Fe, Sibonga, Sogod, Tabuelan, and Tudela.

According to the EMB, these towns still maintain open dumpsites and do not have segregation programs.

Under Republic Act 9003, barangays are tagged as players in ensuring segregation at the household level. Biodegradable waste should be buried in landfills while recyclable waste are to be recycled.

Estenzo-Ramos said the lawyers were willing to discuss the matter with the mayors in the presence of the Office of the Ombudsman in the Visayas. /Reporter Ador Vincent S. Mayol

http://globalnation.inquirer.net/cebudailynews/news/view/20090717-215901/Cebu-mayors-told-Close-dumpsite-in-30-days

^^ As much as I agree with the idea with being more environmentally friendly, I'd have to wonder if those lawyers took into account the time it would take to arrange for a proper dump site. I mean if the open dump sites are to be closed in 30 days, an alternative would have to be made before said deadline. Bad as open dump sites may be, having no dump site is possibly worse. Give how the law is dated 2001, why are they acting now and not years ago with a more reasonable timetable?

By the way, what are the alternatives to open dump sites? Burying the trash doesn't really stop the build-up of gases, they are by-products of decomposition, and burial has the side effect of having the trash take longer to decompose since exposure to the elements has a way of hastening the process so burial is a form of preservation. Saw a documentary where they dug into an old landfill and they found a readable newspaper from the 50's. The advantage with properly managed dump sites is that you could prevent things from leaking into the water table or the garbage pollution from spreading around. It has been a while since I read up on things related to garbage, but from what I recall, cleaner methods require the sort of infrastructure that is both expensive and would definitely take longer than 30 days to arrange.

As for garbage segregation, is there any place in the country that actually has this properly implemented? I don't simply mean if they have the different colored trash bins and different colored trash bags. I mean like are the people properly oriented about it? If you check out the colored trash cans in the malls, you'll notice that a lot of people really don't pay attention where they are dumping what. The segregation is not even consistent, there are places with the three trash bins, can't even recall what each of the three bins are supposed to hold, and there are simplified bins that only has biodegradable (malata) and non-biodegradable (dili malata). Anyway, I think garbage segregation is a little too advanced for a country where a good number of people don't even bother with trash bins, or they seem to hold the view that our streets and sidewalks are dump sites. Some people even defecate on sidewalks. Kita gud ko ini dapit the China Bank sa Guadalupe sa kanang mamaligya og DVD, gipalibang niya iyahang anak sa sidewalk dapit sa drainage. Luod kaayo tan-awn.

We really need a good ad campaign for environmental awareness. Propaganda that would have kids learning from an early age to be environmentally conscious. If you've watched enough Looney Toons, Bugs Bunny and such, you'll find that, aside from the comedy stuff, some episodes would have the characters talk about such things as entrepreneurship (this was an episode with Elmer Fud having a shoe factory). Only problem is that we don't have any animators around to do this for us here. Simple ra ba gud unta buhaton, himo lang ka og istorya nga makita nga dili ka angay magpataka og labay ug uban pa. Another thing is that some parents are not good role models for these things so the ad campaign may not be very effective. I recall seeing a parent scold her child for throwing the skins of the lanzones he was eating inside the jeepney. The scolding was around the lines of don't throw it inside the jeepney, then the mother picked up the skins and threw on the street. Nice. :lol:

Good morning mga bai.

I just happened to encounter this video in youtube again and I thought this captured the nice little things about Cebu. Things that a Cebuano who is not in Cebu will miss. Through the eyes of someone who is out of Cebu and out of the country, this video evokes the true Cebu atmosphere. Cebuanos in Cebu will probably find this very mundane and its true. Heck, these are the places I used to pass by everyday and I know each one of those murals. But I guess it is living that day-to-day Cebuano existence that I miss.

cebuanos, unlike many others, are not swayed by movie stars or celebrities
during election campaigns. well, you can bring as many as you want, maybe
the best of the best of the movie industry, only to know 'wa' effect na sa
electorate ... ask erap or fpj (may he rest in peace ...) ...

i'm not sure if cebuanos attitude towards movie stars are a result of the exposure of cebuanos to cebu art council's free movies and activities that are connected to different arts and culture. kay pinaagi sa mga best ug award winnning na mga sine gikan sa lainlain lugar sa kalibutan mas nakakat-on ang mga cebuanos na i-appreciate ang movies instead na mga actors and actresses. ug mas class gyud ug taste ang mga cebuano. kato nalang nag-music fest ang french school, daghan gyud nakaadto sa free concert na piano and flute concert ug nanan-aw sa mga free french films. nakatabang pud ang cebu arts council na maipaduol sa mga cebuanos ang appreciation sa mga maayong movies ug maipalayo ang ilang appreciation sa mga local na artista kay mas broad naman ang ilang exposure ug international standards na ang ilang pangitaon.

MANILA, Philippines—The Gotianuns’ Filinvest Development Corp. is putting up a new wholly owned subsidiary for its upcoming P4-billion upscale leisure estate project on Mactan Island in Cebu.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, FDC said it had filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission an application for the incorporation of Seascapes Resorts Inc., whose primary purpose was to engage in a hotel and resort business.

The subsidiary, which will manage the project called Seascapes Resort Town, will have an authorized capital stock of P100 million.

FDC plans to launch later this year the 12-hectare residential resort community Seascapes which will offer a 2.5-hectare beach club, fully furnished 280 casitas, villas, condos and 56 premium lots.

The development of the raw land was completed in 2006 and the firm has already started pre-selling the beach club shares and the casitas fractional shares.

The resort plans to have a soft launch in the third quarter of this year, based on the company’s annual report.

The holding company, which has a P141-billion balance sheet as of end-March, earlier announced a P12-billion budget for capital spending this year, 60 percent of which will go to real estate development.

FDC’s existing subsidiaries and joint ventures are engaged in four main businesses: residential property development, commercial property development, banking and financial services, and sugar farming and milling.

Tourist arrivals in Cebu up 23% over 6 months (http://globalnation.inquirer.net/cebudailynews/enterprise/view/20090716-215716/Tourist-arrivals-in-Cebu-up-23-over-6-months)

Tourist arrivals in Cebu province continue to go up amid the economic recession and the swine flu virus health risk, said Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia yesterday.

Quoting a tourism report presented during yesterday morning's Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA) board meeting, Garcia said tourism arrivals increased by 23 percent during the first six months compared to the same period last year.

Garcia said the increase in tourism arrivals also helped increase airport revenues by 14 percent.

“Despite the economic recession, we continue to see a very marked improvement in our tourism arrivals and income,” she said.

Reading a portion of the MCIA board meeting agenda, Garcia told reporters yesterday that international and domestic arrivals totaled to 2.4 million for the months of January to June.

She said this is 23 percent more than the 1.9 million arrivals posted during the same period last year.

Confident with the arrival trend, Garcia said the entire year’s arrival could surpass last year's figures of barely 4 million.

Garcia said the rise in tourist arrivals resulted in a 14 percent increase in airport revenues to P540 million for the first six months of the year, up from P475.33 million for the same period last year.

The governor said airport income for the entire year in 2008 barely reached P1 billion.

At least 63 international flights leave MCIA per week.

These include flights bound for Bhusan in Korea; Narita, Japan; Shanghai; Taipe; Kuala Lumpur; Singapore and Doha.

Garcia said there is also a newly opened flight to Guangzho, the capital of Guangdung in China, one of the new sister provinces of Cebu province

At least 370 flights leave MCIA to other parts of the country each week. This includes 21 daily flights to Manila with a load factor of at least 90 percent.

Garcia said the economic recession and the scare brought about the H1N1 virus failed to affect tourism arrivals due to Cebu’s positive image.

“Cebu in itself is already an attraction. The culture that we have, the heritage and the beaches are an attraction,” she said.

Meco upbeat on RP-Taiwan tourism prospects (http://business.inquirer.net/money/topstories/view/20090715-215594/Meco-upbeat-on-RP-Taiwan-tourism-prospects)

THE MANILA ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL Office hopes the resumption of the Kaohsiung-Cebu chartered flight via Taiwan flag carrier China Airlines will boost tourism between the two countries.

China Airlines’ 150-seat Airbus A320 will fly the Kaohsiung-Cebu route every five days.

In a statement issued yesterday, Meco director for tourism Ireneo Reyes said the resumption of the chartered flight last Monday amid the Influenza A(H1N1) pandemic was a welcome development for the Philippine tourism market.

He noted that outbound travel from Taiwan had been steadily declining due to the flu scare and the economic crisis. For the first five months of the year, the decline had already reached 10 percent.

With the Cebu-Kaohsiung chartered flight, however, he said local travel agents would have the opportunity to lure Taiwanese tourists into the country.

The Kaohsiung-Cebu chartered flights, he said, would initially operate for three months. Last year, the chartered flights operated for around five months, or from May to September.

i dont see the picture as sad.. i see it that it symbolizes HOPE..:)

I don't see any sadness either perhaps because we see it as a glass full instead of half empty.

This picture paints an aura of hope beyond the horizon.

^^ nasayop pa gyud! LOL! ..siguro, tungod na sa sa pagdinali-dali sa pag vandal kay hadlok masakpan...or, bogo lang gyud ang nag vandal...LOL!

i'm not sure if cebuanos attitude towards movie stars are a result of the exposure of cebuanos to cebu art council's free movies and activities that are connected to different arts and culture. kay pinaagi sa mga best ug award winnning na mga sine gikan sa lainlain lugar sa kalibutan mas nakakat-on ang mga cebuanos na i-appreciate ang movies instead na mga actors and actresses. ug mas class gyud ug taste ang mga cebuano. kato nalang nag-music fest ang french school, daghan gyud nakaadto sa free concert na piano and flute concert ug nanan-aw sa mga free french films. nakatabang pud ang cebu arts council na maipaduol sa mga cebuanos ang appreciation sa mga maayong movies ug maipalayo ang ilang appreciation sa mga local na artista kay mas broad naman ang ilang exposure ug international standards na ang ilang pangitaon.

majority of cebuanos are not so "gaga" with tagalog movie chick flicks and too much drama maong dili kaayo hit sa mga cebuanos ang mga tagalog films. kapoy kaayo ng sige'g hilak-hilak na muarg trademark na sa tagalog films and bec. manila film outfits can't produce hollywood movies bec. of lack of funds (we understand), we can't make it as an excuse to experience the ultimate "real" entertainment that hollywood can do and manila can't.

...maski papano bai, part pa rin yan ng kulturang pinoy...napasukan na yata ng western culture ang utak mo bai...LOL! ...why can't we find ways to unite the whole nation than enumerating our differences... :ohno:

I agree.

Hello, as if dili magkaboang ang mga Cebuano kung naa'y mall shows ang mga artista. (Like katong Kapuso Day nga puno kaayo ang SM from LGF to 3F)

Hello, as if dili consistent sa top 10 ang SM City Cebu ug Ayala Center Cebu in terms of ticket sales sa mga box-office Tagalog movies.

Hello, as if dili ta malipay kung mafeature atong pinalanggang Sugbo sa mga Tagalog TV stations.

oo sige na, sayop na ko. ganahan kaayo ang mga cebuanos og mga tagalog chick flicks and too much drama ug ako ra'y dili! EVER! :lol::lol::nuts::D

^^ dili man sab baya tanan bai...siguro usa ka sa mga dili ganahan...pero, tan-awa gud kung na-a artista sa SM or Ayala og tan-awa sab kung na-a bag-o showing nga tagalog movies..para mausab imong panan-aw...LOL!

piece of advice...do not generalize things...hehehe...i understand you're speaking for yourself...LOL!

^^

yeah, i miss putting IMO. importante kaayo na! :lol::lol::nuts:

in my growing up years up until college, i am only surrounded with people who hate or does not fancy tagalog movies mao siguro i generalize it and everytime i meet new friends, parehas pud mi na dili ganahan syempre pa kanang mga lousy telenovelas, bea-sarah-john lloyd love team chuva, showbiz chika, etc etc etc! hehehehe...

naa naman gud na sa akong alimpatakan na most tagalog movies are all about love teams, kilig2x factor, etc and for me they are considered pangbabaye ra. IMO, bakya kaayo na na naay lalaki dako unya mahiligon anang mga klase sa salida! hehehehe... guys are for action triller movies (hollywood gihapon dili tagalog action na klaro na gani kaayong naigo na ang bida, buhi pa gihapon). i don't know with you though.

and just to clarify sad, im not trying to disunite the country by just merely not patronizing tagalog movies. its also not fair. i have also tagalog friends that don't even like tagalog movies BIGTIME! :nuts:

oo sige na, sayop na ko. ganahan kaayo ang mga cebuanos og mga tagalog chick flicks and too much drama ug ako ra'y dili! EVER! :lol::lol::nuts::D

nyahahaha. nice one bai. LOL

agree ko sa first two. pero wala may kalabutan ang TV features about sa cebu sa gipasabot ni mainstream. LOL

umh, let me clear things up ha para wala'y gubot, yes i admit im just stating my own opinion regarding tagalog movies but im not also trying to be unpatriotic just because i don't like tagalog movies.

dili biya tanan americans love all american but that doesn't mean they don't love america! same with my case. i don't love tagalog movies but i love the philippines!

don't let my being a cebuano who doesn't love tagalog movies make it such a reason for me to dislike my country. think of me as a filipino. even us filipinos hate crabs which is a common filipino trait.

Bai, I honestly think it would even be patriotic for us to hate most of the Tagalog films which our pathetic mainstream film industry churns out every once in a while. And for that matter, the so-called OPM artists who can't seem to sing anything but covers, that guy named Lito Camo who now reportedly owns a 5-million peso Hummer H2, the tearjerkers which the local networks show every night, and the showbands/coverbands who either don't have the balls or the talent to compose and play original songs. Being patriotic doesn't mean patronizing or putting up with all the sh_t the aforementioned have to offer. I mean, c'mon, one really has to be so stoned to even get a bit of enjoyment out of these. Okay, once in a while, we need some cotton candy for the brain, that's why makasayaw ta ug Boom Tarat Tarat, but then again, ang cotton candy dili angay pirmihon, or else mangadunot ato ngipon (or ang utok)...

I would like to comment too on why Cebuanos seem hard to please. I think it's mixture of:

1. Hadlok matawag nga uto-uto
2. Wa ganahi kay dili "sikat" ang performer
3. Wa ganahi kay dili "mainstream" ang gipangtukar
4. Wa kahibaw kung unsa jud iyang ganahan
5. Wa man mamakpak ang uban tawo, so why clap?
6. With all honesty and the "k" to criticize, wala jud giganahan sa performance

Mao ra na. : )

pero ngano man mga cebuano dli sad mo appreciate sa local artist like kanang bisaya ng teleseryi?. mas maayo pa maninaw ug AM radio (handuman sa isa ka awit).. makalingaw pa. hehehe

tan aw man pud cguro mga tao sa tv bisaya teleseryi.. like goot the wonderpul that make tiban escudero, nawng murag kaldero sikat... :) or listen to AM that make Dra. Lourdes Libres Rosaroso mas sikat, including the St. Paul College... :lol::lol::lol:

But it doesn't mean that those audiences who are in malls kung naay artista kay puro mga Cebuanos... Ang ako lang gi basehan kay inig maka tan aw ko sa mga mall shows, naa man gyud nay mga duwa og mag tawag og several audiences... then the host will ask taga asa sila, mostly kay 50% ra gyud sa mga contestants ang mga Cebuanos or kasagaran gyud 3 out of 10 ra gyud ang Cebuano... Na observe ra na nako sa mga mall shows og kanang mga TV shows nga mo bisita sa Cebu...

And about the movies, halin baya ang mga tagalog films basta Star Cinema or GMA Films, kanang perme ma advertise sa GMA og ABS in between sa mga teleseryes coz tagalog teleseryes kay click kaayo diri sa Cebu pero kanang mga tagalog movies nga dili kaayo ma advertise, dili kaayo halin sa mga Cebuanos coz dili sila mo gasto og dili made by Star Cinema ang GMA Films that are the top producers of well made tagalog movies.

oo sige na, sayop na ko. ganahan kaayo ang mga cebuanos og mga tagalog chick flicks and too much drama ug ako ra'y dili! EVER! :lol::lol::nuts::D

I am with you Bai...EVER pud ko!!!... :lol:

Nagdako pud ko nga medyo wa gud nada ang Tagalog para sa amo-a. Siguro kay puro taga-Cebu ako-ang amahan ug inahan.

Kinahang naa tay drama school apil na sa course e.g. sa education department ba. Makit-an nato sa bisaya show murag dili natural ang musulti murag pinabundak, mag ukon2x ang lihuk. Dili hapsay ang agi. Kuwang sa finesse. Maypagka bakya na nuon. or waa lang gyud ta masinati sa binisaya nga drama. Ang usa pud cinematography, ang angle camera sa shooting. Maayo mo commentaryo mura pud kog korek. :nuts::lol:

IMO, subidahonon pa ni ang pagka-"well-made" Sir. Kung production values siguro. I mean, if you have more around 30-40 million pesos, puwede jud magpatorapak ug gasto ang producer. Bisan pa ug adto sa Milan, New York, Greece mag-shoot, kaya ra kaayo. Tas-on lang gud ang exposition, para mu-bilib dayun ang tawo. But ang dili makaya sa budget kay action films. People just stopped believing the druglord-with-a-kanggarot-car and the fight-sequence-in-a-warehouse shtick, which are, unfortunately, mao ray ma-afford sa producer. That's why our action genre kicked the bucket. My point is, having a top producer (budget-wise) doesn't necessarily translate to having a well-made film. In the last few releases of Star Cinema, unsa may matawag nato nga posibleng mahimo ug classic, or at least, pang-collection? : )

Maypa og i-revive na lang tong mga Pinoy nga X nga movie...Mo-click pa siguro...Heheheheheh

Joke lang!

^^Asa mana nga gisalida, naa naba na sa DVD? :jk: :lol:

Botar namo mga bai sa samahan para sa pangaan. :banana:

kita man diay gihapon ang Crown Regency from Naga Town Plaza at night.


Hmmm if that's impressive enough, the light beacon of Crown Regency can actually be seen all the way from Tubigon, Bohol. It flashes intermittently and looks like a sparkling diamond It must have serious wattage!

^^so Cebu looks like a sparkling diamond in Bohol? cool!

Ang problema bisan unsa pa na nga production outfit, wala gyud dekalidad nga grupo sa mga artista. Kuwang ra gyud ang hinabang nga ihatag sa mga actors labina sa teatro. Naay mga workshops pero kuwangan ra gyud ug facilities. Nakasuway na kog arte sa una, di man ko hilas sa pag arte pero maingon nako nga basig 3 ka tuig ra ko nasud sa theater, dagko gyud ug kakuwang sa tabang nga ihatag sa arts. Kung independent film maker ka or playwright, theater actor, set designer, wala kay makuha nga disente nga trabaho diri sa pilipinas kung dili ka mutrabaho sa ABS-CBN o sa GMA. Pait gyud. Ang samot makaluoy ani, nakaila kog mga actors nga nakadawat nag training sa theater, scriptwriting, directing since teenage years nila pero hangtud extra ra sila sa mga salida sa mga 2nd rate nga nigawas ra sa starstruck o PBB. Daghan na sila giartehan nga plays ug movies nga critically acclaimed. Ang pait ana, naa nila double majors sa Communications ug Theater Arts pero extra ra gyud. Sus, ingana ang problema kung dominado ang atong entertainment industry sa ABS ug GMA.

Kung naa pa ko'y kwarta, muhimo kog theater company diri sa Cebu unya tukod kog performing arts center diri parehas sa PETA sa manila. Mutukod sad kog film school nga barato aron di na intawn pahilakon ang ginikanan pag muenrol sa Bigfoot.

maayo pay mo focus mo sa problema diri Cebu. last night looy kaayo ang foreigner kay gi-ilad sa bugaw ug sa burikat. paghuman niya bayad nisibat ang boring gigukod sa foreigner bisan nka crutches pa tawon. :lol:

ako gi-ingnan ang bugaw, kung mag negosyo mog pamurikat ayaw mog pangilad.:ohno:

Kinahang naa tay drama school apil na sa course e.g. sa education department ba. Makit-an nato sa bisaya show murag dili natural ang musulti murag pinabundak, mag ukon2x ang lihuk. Dili hapsay ang agi. Kuwang sa finesse. Maypagka bakya na nuon. or waa lang gyud ta masinati sa binisaya nga drama. Ang usa pud cinematography, ang angle camera sa shooting. Maayo mo commentaryo mura pud kog korek. :nuts::lol:

that's exactly what is badly needed in the cebu entertainment industry. we are in dire need for feeder schools that offer degree programs in music, the performing and visual arts. if bigfoot is offering courses in films and cinematography, how many do you think can avail of their courses. other schools must start their own arts and music program kaysa magdepend lang ug usa ka entity to solve the entertainment problem goin on in cebu.

cebu has a rich cultural heritage but without a strong arts and music programs in schools, colleges and universities, we will always look up north or the west for our forms of entertainment be it tv or movies. our big colleges and universities can really start if they put their school band, glee clubs, choruses and dance and theater troupes into a music and perfoming arts department or college. mao na gihimo diri for colleges nga gamay ra ug enrolment sa dept. of music and arts. people who are not majors in musics and performing arts are welcome to join these groups and i am one of them. i can barely count the music and arts majorsin our group but because of other students and community members who subscribe to arts and music, we can do performance that fill a 1500 seat theater.

i know the cebu arts council is good at promoting cebu cultural heritage but the problem is, there is no strong articulation done in the high school, college or university level except for those schools offering fine arts and architecture.

pero ngano man mga cebuano dli sad mo appreciate sa local artist like kanang bisaya ng teleseryi?. mas maayo pa maninaw ug AM radio (handuman sa isa ka awit).. makalingaw pa. hehehe

well just like i said. let's not think about its just another cebuano-tagalog issues. think about it as a "personal preference". we are just humans with likes and dislikes. don't be a hypocrite to say you love ALL FILIPINO bec. there is nothing perfect in this world. Dili pud biya tanan makapilipino, ganahan ta but let's not also drag national awareness /consciousness alongside with this. unfair man pud na sa taw.

But it doesn't mean that those audiences who are in malls kung naay artista kay puro mga Cebuanos... Ang ako lang gi basehan kay inig maka tan aw ko sa mga mall shows, naa man gyud nay mga duwa og mag tawag og several audiences... then the host will ask taga asa sila, mostly kay 50% ra gyud sa mga contestants ang mga Cebuanos or kasagaran gyud 3 out of 10 ra gyud ang Cebuano... Na observe ra na nako sa mga mall shows og kanang mga TV shows nga mo bisita sa Cebu..

natural, even though you don't fancy it, the mere fact na artista sila, maintriga gyud ka maong muadto pud ka pero it doesn't mean DIEHARD na kaayo ka ana niya na maghilak-hilak na kas kalipay na nakakita ka anang artistaha. kuyawa pud ana uy! :lol::lol::lol::D

well if philippine movies and istoryahan... para nko... philippine film industry, no originality, most of the time you can predict what will happen next, lacking special effects ala hollywood, the same sotryline just different actors/actress, different loveteam.

and then filipino actors are too theatrical (the way they act)... they dont look or act natural... compared to how hollywood actors act...

for me philippine cinema is crap! thats why i dont watch filipino movies (tagalog man o bisaya)

^^

right! I STRONGLY AGREE!!!!! but hey i am a PROUD FILIPINO ha! :cheers:

and i think naay proof ang akong gipangsulti kay wala pkoy nakita na pinoy artista na successful sa hollywood.

i mean artista na diri nisikat sa pinas nya nisaka sa hollywood...

take a look at cesar montano... sikat diri sa ato but totyo lng sa hollywood... and i think usa na sa best example unsay difference on how pinoy actors and hollywood actors act.

si cesar kay oa ra... pag tan.aw nko sa "the great raid" proud pa kaau ko kay naay pinoy pero lahi ra jud kau iyang pag.act compared sa mga hollywood actors...

well if philippine movies and istoryahan... para nko... philippine film industry, no originality, most of the time you can predict what will happen next, lacking special effects ala hollywood, the same sotryline just different actors/actress, different loveteam.

and then filipino actors are too theatrical (the way they act)... they dont look or act natural... compared to how hollywood actors act...

for me philippine cinema is crap! thats why i dont watch filipino movies (tagalog man o bisaya)

Para nako, bai, "Chicken and Egg" na pud ni na question. Who would dare to initiate? Should people start demanding that the film outfits start churning out quality work by ignoring crap which the studios pass off as "The Romantic Comedy Movie of the Year" or the "Most Anticipated Team-Up", etc. or should the studios dare to risk not making oodles of money by introducing films that actually educate the people about appreciating good cinema? This might sound OT, bai, but mind you, kaning GENERAL mentality sa mga Pinoy nga dali ra kaayo ma-"razzle dazzle" dili ra sa film appreciation makit-an. Hasta pud sa tibuok pop culture and, I dare say, sa whole culture na jud. For example, why is it that we don't have TV shows like The Soup or Conan O' Brien which actually dare to mock celebrities whenever they show their stupid side? Is it really because "respectful, courteous and polite" kitang mga Pinoy or is it because we Filipinos in general kay dugay kaayo mawala ang "bilib" sa atong mga celebrities bisag klaro na kaayo nga gi-uto ra ta? I think it is this mentality that is ruining us, kay kung wala pa ni, dugay na unta nawad-an ug trabaho kanang over-rated kaayo nga gihinganlan ug Willie Revillame, dili unta musikat ang kanta ni Lito Camo, dili unta na makadaug si Erap, dili unta ta dali ra mutuo sa mga naniguwang na nga mga pulitiko nga ipangampanya dayun ilang mga asawa, igsuon, anak, helper, boy, iro og kung kinsa pa kung mahuman na ilang termino, even if these are clearly not the best people to replace them.

Matud pa sa kanta sa Itchyworms, "Ganito nalang ba ang masa?"*

(*From the single "Noontime Show" of the album of the same title)

maypa mga inde films may sense pa kay medyo tinuod pa in real life and situation ang base sa story. :ohno::ohno::ohno:

I agree with you, bai. But I hope maghimo sila ug more comedy nga indie films. I mean, it's good to have Imburnal, Kubrador, Kinatay, etc. but once in a while puol ang puro lang poverty and violence nga themes, so nindot pud ang katung mga indie comedy nga Pinoy Blonde, Big Time ug La Visa Loca kay dili ang usual nga slapstick ba. Intelligent comedy, kumbaga, but very Pinoy gihapun. Nindot pud siguro ang Ded na si Lolo, but wa pa ko kakita. : )

natural, even though you don't fancy it, the mere fact na artista sila, maintriga gyud ka maong muadto pud ka pero it doesn't mean DIEHARD na kaayo ka ana niya na maghilak-hilak na kas kalipay na nakakita ka anang artistaha. kuyawa pud ana uy! :lol::lol::lol::D



lol... na timingan ra nga makakita kog show perme wui, kay sa una sige man ko suroy sige lakaw lakaw kada adlaW tungod sige update sa ssc...wa gyud ko nituyo og adto para lang makakita kos ilang dagway nga taw ra gihapon.:d

I posted last week about the geo-technical investigation on-going along Sergio Osmena avenue in North Reclamation Area near Sugbutel and Sulpicio Lines office.

Here's a text from Arnold:

Boring test for construction of two fly-overs at North Reclamation is on-going.

The proposed site of these two fly-overs (overpass) I assume would ensure smoother flow of traffic leading to the South Road Properties via the road tunnel (if you're traveling from northern Cebu)

Hmmm if that's impressive enough, the light beacon of Crown Regency can actually be seen all the way from Tubigon, Bohol. It flashes intermittently and looks like a sparkling diamond It must have serious wattage!


That's nice! That would be the start of the new beacon of the south the Shining Cebu.. LOL
:lol::lol::lol:

Love you Cebu, Padayon sa pag lambo!

^^

yeah, i miss putting IMO. importante kaayo na! :lol::lol::nuts:

in my growing up years up until college, i am only surrounded with people who hate or does not fancy tagalog movies mao siguro i generalize it and everytime i meet new friends, parehas pud mi na dili ganahan syempre pa kanang mga lousy telenovelas, bea-sarah-john lloyd love team chuva, showbiz chika, etc etc etc! hehehehe...

naa naman gud na sa akong alimpatakan na most tagalog movies are all about love teams, kilig2x factor, etc and for me they are considered pangbabaye ra. IMO, bakya kaayo na na naay lalaki dako unya mahiligon anang mga klase sa salida! hehehehe... guys are for action triller movies (hollywood gihapon dili tagalog action na klaro na gani kaayong naigo na ang bida, buhi pa gihapon). i don't know with you though.

and just to clarify sad, im not trying to disunite the country by just merely not patronizing tagalog movies. its also not fair. i have also tagalog friends that don't even like tagalog movies BIGTIME! :nuts:


I agree with you bai, I'm not also a big fan of Tagalog movies but i watch them sometimes, dili man sad tanan bakya. Share lang ko ha like the Jose Rizal the movie okay lang to. dili siya stunning nor Fantastic pero carry na. LOL

Try lang watch if you have time, chance lang gud, pero if di gyud carry nahala. hehehehehehe

But it doesn't mean i didn't love the Philippines. i love the Philippines very much and I also have lots of Tagawog friends na dili gusto ug tagawog films.

I don't think it's the Tagawog, it think it's the producer of the movie namn siguro (i'm just speculating ha), dili mugasto ug lots of money or wala lang gyud siguro budget. LOL

I think it's all about money to produce good and quality films. You need to have a great script writer, Best director, cutumes, good actors, good choreographers and etcsss.. right?

Well that's my point of view....

Have a nice day!

tagalog movies? di na lang ta mag estorya ana kay kahibaw na ta tanan kung unsa ka way ayo.

correction lang diay, wa jud na ka gubti ang SM ug Ayala Cinemas kung naay mga tagalog movies. ug regarding sa mga artista, mura ra jud ug wa if naay artista nga makit-an sa Ayala, kapila nako kakitag artista sa Ayala pero wa may molingi gawas lang kung naay shows kay naa man sad jud motan-aw, curious lang siguro pero dili in ana ka big deal.

Regarding movies. One thing that dictates mainstream Filipino movie industry is: Money.

Another is the psyche that the movie is marketing, the masa. They have to give in to the masa way of thinking to earn box-office earnings. The more people that watches, the more money they earn. Same with why most radio stations are of novelty type and same with the Kapuso and Kapamilya channels.

If you want art and in-depth perception of cinematography and artistry, you have to go "indie." Otherwise, your movie may go kaput.

And given the mentality that we Filipinos have, we would opt to watch more of Hollywood movies than local movies. Just observe the cinemas for the rest of the year. Majority being shown are Hollywood movies.

My dos sentimos worth. :2cents:

in fairness sad sa mga tagalog movies:

there are also times when people watch movies aron ma kilig/lingaw lang... bahalag ang storya kay ang most over used/gasgas love story in the world...
though it may not be of the same "caliber" as those sa indie movies, but it entertained people...

Because that's the major aim of the mainstream local movies nowadays, IMHO: they have to have their audiences be entertained. Go away from life's pressures and immense in the reel. :)

What jeepney route will you ride from Pit-os to IT Park?

^ Yep, Cabalen. Yipee!

mao daw ni nga lot ang gi abangan sa SM...
http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/1980/smlot1.jpg

So, ang duha ka flyover sa Sergio Osmena Ave. anha ibutan sa mga intersection Gen. Maxilom Ave. ug Juan Luna Ave. sa may SM dapit. Mao gyud na sa akong na hunahunan dayon. Traffic mangud na diha sa may eskina SM Radisson dapit labina sa Hapon na. :)

the question is, when was the tarp put up?

ahh..abi nako ang project..LOL!

Any news on new projects on the City? It's been quiet about new projects since the last thread.

I don't think there is progress on the City's infrastructures. Still, grids on the streets and pedestrian lanes are loosing paints, traffic lights are defective and some junctions especially going to CBP from Hipodromo doesn't have traffic lights or even traffic enforcers so it's like halo-halo in there. You don't know who should pass first, instead........ the cars are going on first drive first pass motion and actually not good. The roads especially in the downtown area have holes and are not properly paved. Hanging wires have always been a sore. Looks like the city's infrastructure is lagging from the fast paced development and urbanization. Traffic jams are still common especially sa may City Central. Public establishments are still obsolete like the sports complex and the hospital. The city is supposedly an international city and a favorite tourist hub but still has not grown in terms of infrastructure development. :no::no::no:

Hope the City Government is doing something about this instead of focusing too much on foreign investments. :doh::doh::doh:

mao daw ni nga lot ang gi abangan sa SM...

layo lagi bai...i was thinking kanang nga lot next to the lot of SMX location...kung mo rent lang sila bai, unsa kaha ang itukod diha? dili man sab pwede ang condo or mga hi-rise kay temporary ra man dapat ang i-construct nga building...right?

I agree.

Hello, as if dili magkaboang ang mga Cebuano kung naa'y mall shows ang mga artista. (Like katong Kapuso Day nga puno kaayo ang SM from LGF to 3F)

Hello, as if dili consistent sa top 10 ang SM City Cebu ug Ayala Center Cebu in terms of ticket sales sa mga box-office Tagalog movies.

Hello, as if dili ta malipay kung mafeature atong pinalanggang Sugbo sa mga Tagalog TV stations.

Cause we dont have any other choice..we cannot escape from it, those are the things that they (Manila people)have been feeding the whole country...

^^kanang lot nex t sa SMX kay nana may establishments diha bai like CDN, Natasha etc...

^^ dili man sab baya tanan bai...siguro usa ka sa mga dili ganahan...pero, tan-awa gud kung na-a artista sa SM or Ayala og tan-awa sab kung na-a bag-o showing nga tagalog movies..para mausab imong panan-aw...LOL!

piece of advice...do not generalize things...hehehe...i understand you're speaking for yourself...LOL!

pero sa tinuod lang wa gyud ko kita nga dunay maglinya sa sinihan sa mga tagalog movies compared kung tua gyud kas manila...naa man gyud poy ganahan pero majority dili gyud ganahan, base sa akong naubsirbahan sa mga friends nga cebuano...siguro sa tanang friends nga cebuano 10 percent lang tingali ang gananhan og tagalog films and music...ambot lang kaha pod sa inyo....karemember kos college usa namo ka.amiga kay maoy kataw.an kay hilig kayog tagalog music...hahahaha!

Bai, I honestly think it would even be patriotic for us to hate most of the Tagalog films which our pathetic mainstream film industry churns out every once in a while. And for that matter, the so-called OPM artists who can't seem to sing anything but covers, that guy named Lito Camo who now reportedly owns a 5-million peso Hummer H2, the tearjerkers which the local networks show every night, and the showbands/coverbands who either don't have the balls or the talent to compose and play original songs. Being patriotic doesn't mean patronizing or putting up with all the sh_t the aforementioned have to offer. I mean, c'mon, one really has to be so stoned to even get a bit of enjoyment out of these. Okay, once in a while, we need some cotton candy for the brain, that's why makasayaw ta ug Boom Tarat Tarat, but then again, ang cotton candy dili angay pirmihon, or else mangadunot ato ngipon (or ang utok)...

I would like to comment too on why Cebuanos seem hard to please. I think it's mixture of:

1. Hadlok matawag nga uto-uto
2. Wa ganahi kay dili "sikat" ang performer
3. Wa ganahi kay dili "mainstream" ang gipangtukar
4. Wa kahibaw kung unsa jud iyang ganahan
5. Wa man mamakpak ang uban tawo, so why clap?
6. With all honesty and the "k" to criticize, wala jud giganahan sa performance

Mao ra na. : )

ganahan kos imong gisturya...tinuod kaayo

^^kanang lot nex t sa SMX kay nana may establishments diha bai like CDN, Natasha etc...

aw o diay...kalimot ko nga na-a na man mga buildings diha...

pero ngano man mga cebuano dli sad mo appreciate sa local artist like kanang bisaya ng teleseryi?. mas maayo pa maninaw ug AM radio (handuman sa isa ka awit).. makalingaw pa. hehehe

pareho ta bai, malingaw kog drama sa radyo...pero sa bisaya nga movies and other performing arts, di gyud ka makaexpect og quality kaayo tungod pod dili pa ta hinog anang mga butanga kay kuwang sa budget og dili kita ang mainstream entertainment culture sa pinas, mao wa kaayoy mga audience, og dili pa kabarog kay way igong pondasyon..

maayo pay mo focus mo sa problema diri Cebu. last night looy kaayo ang foreigner kay gi-ilad sa bugaw ug sa burikat. paghuman niya bayad nisibat ang boring gigukod sa foreigner bisan nka crutches pa tawon. :lol:

ako gi-ingnan ang bugaw, kung mag negosyo mog pamurikat ayaw mog pangilad.:ohno:

mayra pod tong parenera oi! kay miski nagkiang kiang na moka*at man gihapon! hahahaha! maoy resulta sa tantong pagkabigaon! wahahaah!

naa napud karon ay sila bea ug sam...guys love story na siya! kinsay ganahan maguna-una sa sinehan? basin pa kamoy mangabli didto sa ayala ug SM! whahahaha...:lol::lol::lol::nuts::puke:

by the way, after transformers: revenge of the fallen kay coming soon na diay ang G.I. Joe: the rise of cobra? atangan gyud na nako! this is what i call real entertainment! :okay::okay:

Go back lang ko gamay sa about filipino films.. me too.. i really dont watch Philippine made movies, not because am patriotic but i also shared 100% marxman's opinion and reasons.. Hinoon kung naa na sa tv, unya wa ta lingaw makatan aw jud.. ang ako gud feeling na its not worth to pay.. craps..

I also shared sa opinion na our actors and actresses never goes to the mainstream hollywood unlike, the chinese, indians, japanese,french, british etc.. because we are lacking so much in originality as far as acting is concerned..

I have read an article in Philippine Star.. discussing Freddie Aguilar's critique on the current nisikat"daw" na mga filipino artist like Arnel Pineda, Charice Pempengco..

The sheer response of the show business industry is instead of tackling the criticisms intelligently and objectively, they resort instead to shooting the critique inorder to invalidate the criticisms. IMO, this is a pathetic reaction and i believe until the show business industry and any stake holders will have this knee jerk mentality the Philippine movie industry will never go the global market or else never improve their craft.

^^ Pero be honest, nakatan-aw mo bisag kausa ra sa kabuhi nyo niing mga Filipino-made movies ay? :lol: :nocrook: Aminin!!!! :naughty:

Oo naman.. i cant say all of these... if i havent seen one.. I have also seen the pito pito movies..(as so called) hhehehe

i know the cebu arts council is good at promoting cebu cultural heritage but the problem is, there is no strong articulation done in the high school, college or university level except for those schools offering fine arts and architecture.

I believe there is no strong Local Government Support. Also, schools do not have solid programs to educate students/make students appreciate fine arts: like theater and classical music. Block audience from schools in a stage play production are usually noisy inside the theater.

well if philippine movies and istoryahan... para nko... philippine film industry, no originality, most of the time you can predict what will happen next, lacking special effects ala hollywood, the same sotryline just different actors/actress, different loveteam.

and then filipino actors are too theatrical (the way they act)... they dont look or act natural... compared to how hollywood actors act...

I wonder why we always set 'hollywood' as our standard when it comes to films? France is the birthplace of Cinema..we should set it there. True, Hollywood is always the best when it comes to 'effects' but remember, having high-tech effects doesn't mean na nindot pud ang storyline. There are many hollywood movies na maau ug effects/ has high production value pero ang story is useless/non-sense/or has negative implication/walay maaung lesson... sa atong Filipino/Christian values.

There are also many Filipino Films that are really good despite of their limited budget and small government and public support.

I believe that was in the news years ago...As far as i can remember, Mayor Tom mentioned about the two flyovers that will be constructed sa NRA to complement the SRP tunnel. ...murag before his term ends man guro man construct na...im not sure... basta it will be sa corner maxilom and i think sa Radisson na corner.

Yep Cabalen..

Just opened ba to:

Salabianca
MOntre
Sebago
Accesorize

All About Woman - Oct. 2009
SM Business Center - oCT 2009

Terranova is current on Sale not because its closing, but its what they called "End of Season Sale"
Its confirmed they are not closing.

...i hope mag-add ang SM sa ilang website para sa "store list" for each mall like sa website sa Ayala Malls

Believe It Or Not: No law yet naming Colon (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=488402&publicationSubCategoryId=107)
The Freeman (Philstar Online)
Updated July 20, 2009 12:00 AM


CEBU, Philippines - Odd as it may seem but there is no law found in the archives of Cebu City about Colon Street.

The stretch from the Colon Bridge in Barangay Pahina-San Nicolas and ending at the Obelisk in Barangay Parian, is still called as “Parian.”

If not for the ongoing codification project, the City Council would not have known there is no legislation approved since formally and legally naming the entire stretch as “Colon Street.”

Colon Street has always been known as the oldest street in the Philippines, a historical and cultural fact that has been taught to the country’s school children.

Councilor Roberto Cabarrubias, one of the movers of the Codification Project, just recently sponsored an ordinance formally naming and recognizing the oldest street in the Philippines found in the downtown area of Cebu City as “Colon Street.”

The ordinance was approved recently by the Committee on Laws headed by Councilor Edgardo Labella.

“It is an oddity of no small proportions, therefore, to find after review of the city’s archives that the street has not been formally named as such in any ordinance,” according to the committee report.

The committee stated that the proposed ordinance is not only legal and valid, it is the proper measure to cure the deficiency in the significant item of the country’s history.

Colon Street, in the downtown area of Cebu City, was built by the Spaniards and was referred to the olden days as “Parian.”

It was later named as Colon after Cristobal Colon (Columbus), who discovered America. — Ferliza C. Contratista/NLQ (THE FREEMAN)

Robinsons Land: One floor for clinics
Cebu Daily News First Posted 10:35:00 07/20/2009 Filed Under: Real Estate, Hospitals and Clinics, Health

A REAL estate firm has dedicated a floor of its seven-story mixed use development project for medical clinics.

The project's location and the presence of excellent hospitals in Cebu are among the reasons Robinsons Land Corp. reserved a floor of the Robinsons Cybergate Cebu for the clinics.

“Cebu is known for (its growing) medical tourism (industry). And we've done studies and gathered that there's really a demand for medical clinics in Cebu,” said Lourdes Alano, Robinsons Land Corp. tenant mix director-corporate lease.

Although some of the firm's developments had medical and dental clinics, Alano said that this would be the first time that Robinsons Land had set aside a whole floor for a specific use.

“But with Chong Hua Hospital just across Robinsons Cybergate Cebu, they (Robinsons Land officials) “feel” that there is already a “captured market,”” said Alano.

Robinsons Cybergate Cebu project sits on a 5,500 square meter property along Don Gil Garcia Street, Cebu City across Chong Hua hospital.

The reserved floor for clinics is about 2,277 square meters, with each office measuring from 35 square meters to 115 square meters.

Alano together with other company executives were in Cebu City for the conference with medical practitioners on July16.

She said that some doctors had already expressed their interest to locate in the project.

Aside from medical clinics, Robinsons Cybergate Cebu's tenants on the first and second floors will consist of retail outlets, restaurants, banks and drug stores. Health and wellness outlets will occupy the third level of the building while the fourth floor will be for the medical clinics.

Alano said the fifth to seventh levels would be for Business Process Outsourcing firms or offices.

Alano also said that the first and second levels had been 65 percent leased out.

The firms that will operate there include Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Bos' Coffee, Robinsons Bank, Jollibee, and Mooon Café.

The retail floors are expected to open in October, while the rest of the levels will open by December or the first quarter of next year. /Golda Epondulan

It's because way kwarta ang atong mga production comp... og di sad ta nila ka blame nga ingun ana ang ilang mga movies, coz we are a poor nation, right? Sige tag panaway anang mga tagalog movies nga dili ala hollywood ang quality, same ra sad na sa mga quality sa mga dalan diri sa Cebu, low quality coz way kwarta... Ni reflect baya sa akong otok brain nga sige tag panaway, unya diay mas daghan pag situation diri sa Cebu nga mas low quality pa kaysa mga tagalog movies nga gi compara ninyo nga layo ra kaayo sa Hollywood movies... mura na baya tag si kinsa nga manaway... kung mao ra na ila maabot, we should understand but not throw stones to them. Sa sitwasyon karon sa mga comments diri, tabla rag atong gi bira sila sa pa ubos, we are already becoming crabs here which is not good!

actually bai.. i am not questioning the quality.. if you happen to observe their is no more artistic value in the movies today.. stories are pabalik balik lang.. the plot are predictable..
kahibaw ko na pobre ta na nasud so dili ta ka expect ug hollywood like movies.. but por dios por santo.. hain naman diay to ang quality movies sauna compared karon.. if you happen to read bai sa mga film critics.. they are one in saying that the quality of movies way back 1960-1980's are way better than the movies starting on the 90's up to date. of course with the exception of others..

ang mga movie outfits karon bai.. iyang gi bank ang commercial viability sa usa ka actress/ actor rather than making a quality movies.. mao na ang differences..

In the first place..we are not pulling them down.. they themselves are pulling the industry down! If they happen to read this comments i would dare them not to shoot the critique but to learn to accept criticisms...

^^lol! I don't know about that... I am not one of the film critics coz I don't know anything about that tagalog movie quality thing...:D So kung pwede, change topic kay di ko ka sakay sa discussion...hehehe

anyway.. kay ang ato gud.. naistoryahan naman jud.. so ato na lang sang sakyan.. but of course we wished that Cebu will have its owns movie industry.. but still even kita morag hilasan pa man gani motan aw ug cebu telenovela sa tv.... are we really not ready.. naa na baya ni try sauna ug produce ug visayan movie, like kadto daw.. Itlog Manoy Orange.. pero wala man daw ni click..

^^ Pero be honest, nakatan-aw mo bisag kausa ra sa kabuhi nyo niing mga Filipino-made movies ay? :lol: :nocrook: Aminin!!!! :naughty:

ov chores! mao gani naka ingon ko na bati ang filipino movies. kay m.tan.aw ko ana sauna. and naka realize ko na balik2x ra ang storya. lain2x lng ang bida ug love team!

pwera gaba!

though naa pd dghan bati sa hollywood. but i really appreciate mga nice movies sa hollywood kay dili jud ko maka predict sa next m.happen.

pero kung pinoy gani. pwde naka dili m.tan.aw kay kibaw naka unsay sunod.

peace!

Yep Cabalen..

Just opened ba to:

Salabianca
MOntre
Sebago
Accesorize
The Natural Source

I think we also have to add this, since its part of the Northwing ARea

All About Woman - Oct. 2009
SM Business Center - oCT 2009

Terranova is current on Sale not because its closing, but its what they called "End of Season Sale"
Its confirmed they are not closing.

Only Accesorize is newly opened.
The Natural Source has closed down a few months ago. I dunno what's the reason. Perhaps their bankrupt?! Their branch at TriNoma was also closed when I visited last summer. :)

Ang akoa lang ba, basically what spells the difference between mainstream and indie is the primary motive behind the filmmaking. One is for artistic expression and the other is to make profits (and hopefully including artistic expression while at it but this is not the primary concern). That said, there are also films that are in between and some indie films do make it to mainstream, and some mainstream films are also artistic.

I also do not expect and blame the mainstream movie producers entirely for this because of the reason above, that their primary concern is to make money. Ingani man ang taste sa public, ingani ang demand. Therefore, it is only when we have outgrown our current taste in movies (the hyper cutiepie, love stories that make people like bai Mainstream squirm in their seats) can we expect the producers to follow suit and supply the quality or theme of movies to suit the general taste of the consumers.

As long as there are people who are suckers for these teeny romance movies, then the movies will continue.

For those who want to watch artistic films, go watch indie films (though I, too hope there'd be more uplifting comedies, to balance the well-done-but-oh-so-graphic films that portray the darker side of our society). Especially when an indie film gets to be screened at the theaters where mainstream films lord it over. When enough people support these movies then the producers might think of pouring more budget into making films like these.

@leviaragon: Recognized pud baya ang uban natong Indie films. ;)

Actually, Sir Fred, sakto ka anang imo giingon nga papuy-on lang sila og tag-5 storeys nga low-cost building, para di masayang ang lugar.

Ang kanang tig-vandal, aside sa pabayron, pa-community service pud na sila, like tree planting or palimpyohon sa dalan.

Og kaning, street children/makililimos, very alarming pud kaayo ni ang ilang pagdaghan.... :ohno:

Since na-dool man ta sa luwag, kay naa man diri si Sir Paul, pwede ba kaha ta makahangyo ni Sir Paul, nga mapadangat ni niya or makapa-hearing hearing ba siya sa iyang mga kauban sa city hall... :) .. I understand, nga di ni responsibilidad tanan sa LGU, pero, mamasin lang ta... :)

Interestingly, our laws mandates that residential developments in an LGU must set aside a percentage of their projects for mass housing. Sadly, these companies can actually choose to other provinces to develop these mass housing projects. Mao ni ang rason ngano naa tay daghan private residential condos sa Makati pero daghan sab squatters. Mahadlok ko nga naparehas na ni diri. Angay unta kung asa ang residential development, didto idevote ang mass housing.

sakto. ang Indian movies nindot ug estorya, realistic pud kaayo. ang ila mga horror movies tinood jud nga kuyaw like sa mga Japanese ug Thai horror movies.

ang comedy pud nga tagalog wa gyoy lami, grabe ka corny, except lang sa uban kay naa say makalingaw. pero banga lang kaayo ug mga direktor kay naay mga maayo sa comedy pero wa lay clarong estorya.

sa action, grabe ka unrealistic, plus balik2x ug estorya.

di na lang ta sa drama kay kahibaw namo tanan.

I think we will be having a hard time clearing the squatters, unless our leaders will use iron fists on it. actually squatting is a business. they earn 1k - 3k per room per house. so its no surprise na when the professionals see the potentials on the land they dont own and they dont even pay for the taxes, they build their houses overnight. and if way nakabadlong, mu padayon og tukod. then the Lina law will come in. :C

But don't you think that it is the migrants themselves from the different provinces are one of those who are contributing to Cebu's economic growth as well?

Di ba ang DSWD ang mo identify kung kinsa ang karaan nga squatter murag naana sila plot asa ang particular familia ug kinsa ang transient or langyaw nga taga lain lungsod nangita pud panginabuhi taon.

Mao ni among gibuhat sa Bogo sa 38 squatter namo sa among kaugalingon gasto. Gi identify kada balay-family aron walay lanyaw sa uban barangay sa among lugar musuod dalidali, danghan kuskusbalungus ang mga squatter. Unya among gisultihan nga adunay kabalhinan. Recklamo kay layo. Pero naka palit nami duol ra. 28 familia nitando sa lugar nga kabalhinan plus gamay kwarta para magasto sa pagbalin sa bagong lugar. Gi subdivion type nga naa pay mga right of way maagian tricycle. Nag-ilog pa asa sila dapita, pero ang barangay captain nag raffle sa ilang lugar. Ang 10 ni nawat some money para permanente nga mupahawa plus moving expense. Pero amo gihapon yuta ilang gipuyan, pero nag abang na sila kada buwan. Ang bayad murag usa ka kaha sigarelio ang kantidad. Maglisud pa makabayad bayad. pero inum naa ikapalit :nuts::ohno:

^^ @habagatcentral1....yes bai..partly i supposed...

ako lang masulti, daghan gyud mga magrugby na bata diha sa may mango-fuente-jones dapit. naa pa gani ko nakit-an nga dakodako na nga bata nga magdaladalag bag, unya ang sulod diay sa iyang bag kay rugby na iyang ibaligya pud sa mga bata na manlimos diha sa dalan kay inig makakuarta na, mudagan dayon sa katong dakodako na na bata unya didto mupalit ug rugby.

kana pung mga squatter daghan ana nila abosado naman pud, kami mejo nabiktima pud mi anang mga squatter kay bisag imo na nang gikuralan gub-on man unya pamuy-an, pag-anha mo pa 3months after naa nay mga namuyo ug di na sayon papahawaon. mao kung naa kay yuta mapugos ka nalang gud ug suhol ug security guard. maayo unta kung ang kanang yutaa wala nimo hagoi ok lang, ang nakaapan kay kung gipalit nimo nang yutaa pinaagi sa imong grabeng hago unya nagbayad pa gyud kag buwis kada tuig unya ikaw pa ang maperwesyo tungod sa LINA law na mao ang gisaligan sa mga daghang sindikato pud na mga squatter. :ohno:

kanang mga gavandal mayo ana pamutangan ug camera ang mga dalan ug sidewalk ug ang madakpan tagaan gyud ug punishment.

But don't you think that it is the migrants themselves from the different provinces are one of those who are contributing to Cebu's economic growth as well?

Thats true berns, but I think levi was referring specifically to the Badjaos who have flocked to the city to become beggars on the street, or on the pier (and there really are a lot of them). They aren't really contributing much to Cebu's economic growth I suppose.

But in reality, we cannot prevent people from coming to our place. After all, everyone is free to move from one province to the next. The only thing is the government/LGUs and even NGOs concerned should study this case closely, look for the reasons why they are flocking to the city. Were they displaced in their original homelands/home provinces? What particular problems forced them to leave? Can these be addressed at their roots/ or place of origin?

I mean, why has begging in Cebu suddenly become a better course for these people than their other forms of livelihood?

Another way of looking at these people though is that they can be a potential labor force, if their resistance to keeping proper jobs is overcome. I don't know what the government is doing though to educate them or transform them into assets of our society. This is the difficult part. But if accomplished, its a win-win situation for the city and for these people.

Honestly, usahay makalagot pod ni sila sa karsada, kay kusog kaayong mangablit. Nagtalikod bitaw akong amiga one time, unya gikalit cya ug kuhit sa may ilok, dapit na pod sa totoy. Kusog pa gyud. UNya mamugos pa gyud. But then, after that initial reaction nga makalagot, it will dawn on me nga these people are not to blame for themselves lang. They are a product of some problems in our country, in our society itself, some systems n place that have created this situation. This was not just up to their own choice. I stop and think kung ako ba kaha if, by some twist of fate, I were born into a Badjao family of beggars, would I have been better than these people?

Usahay pod bitaw, labi na ug makakita ka sa barko pananglitan inig dunggo, unya manugat dayon ni sila, naay dala mga bata, sama sa pic nga gipost diri ni bai Zuburbia. Maglagot ko magtanaw sa mga taw nga mangitsa pod ug kwarta. Its very demeaning. Dili man ko ingana ka buotan nga taw ba, pero maluoy kos mga Badjao. Ngano nga naa man ko sa taas sa barko, ug ngano naa man sila sa ubos, naghangad sa akoa, ug dha dili na gyud ko muhulog ug kwarta. Maulaw kos akong gibuhat. Usa pa kay manganad man pod sila gud. If walay manghulog ug kwarta, dili man tingali ni sila mupadayon ana.

^^ but isnt begging in cebu a crime and both the giver and the beggar will be punishd?

^^ but isnt begging in cebu a crime and both the giver and the beggar will be punishd?

It is and I hope it is implemented strictly but I don't think it is.

^^ Yeah...Even Tommy did say: "Sige, hatag mo sa ila...bantay ka lang!"
I think Cebu City has an ordinance about anti-mendicancy. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But sometimes I do have a soft spot on these, especially kids who beg or sell something at Gorordo-Mango under torrential rain.

^^ yes....City Ordinance 1631 - Anti-mendicancy Ordinance


...pero si Con. Abellanosa is proposing to repeal the ordinance..IMO, he has a point kay wala man gyud silbi ning balaora...LOL!

^^ i wonder how's the sales performance of Duty Free Phils. at the Northwing

i also have a soft spot for the children but only those that dont beg but offer their goods in a nice way. then, there are those that tells you they just want to buy bread ("palit lang ko pan, sir"). what i usually do is buy them food or bread but i won't give them money because i did observe these kids at the robinson skywalk as well as those near fooda mango. i saw them using the money to buy rugby. even the small baby in the arms of the his sister is being given rugby to sniff. i wonder where is the DSWD, well, we can say that it's already past office hours so we cant blame them anymore.

but we should also be warned that many syndicate are using these children for their own selfish benefits. i know of women who would use these children to beg and pretend that those kids are theirs and they earn by appealing to our misplaced compassion without knowing that they are intentionally depriving these children so they can earn thru them.

^^The last time i went home, I bought some food diha sa grill restaurant tupad sa One Mango Ave. and gave it to and old man nga nangayo og kwarta sa may National Bookstore dapit.

Anyway, just a question: What is the use of laws and ordinances nga di ra man diay mapatuman? And what is the purpose of some government agencies, nga di ra man diay molihok?

Dili man na nga kung naa na branch nearby, dapat wala na laing branch. It doesn't work that way. Ang main nga i-consider is the volume of people in a certain area, like downtown cebu and fuente. Daghan ingon ani sa manila, not only true to jollibee but for other establishments as well (starbucks pod to name one). BTW, i heard that Jollibee Cybergate will be a 24hrs store.

...it's the 4th bai...the other 3 at ACC, AITP, SM


..RE: Jollibee at Cybergate...grabe, as if wala'y 3 Jollibee stores near the Cybergate...approximately, less than 400 meters ra ang distansya aning 3 Jollibee stores....

I really don't know if this is good news or bad news, considering that the place is Olango Island.

Group to invest P160M (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/group-invest-p160m)

A JOINT venture will pour in P160 million to develop an eco-center facility in Barangay Sabang, Olango Island, making it a first-of-its-kind facility in Southeast Asia.

The 50-room, 100-bed Cebu Eco-Centre (CEC) facility will be operated using wind and solar energy. It will use organic products and locally supplied furniture and fixtures, but will still remain affordable for Cebuanos to enjoy, said CEC Inc. president and chief executive officer Marc Canton in a press launch yesterday.

Canton also told reporters that it has been the plan of the family to come up with such a development to be able to share the natural beauty of the property to more people.

“The (development of the) CEC goes a long way to achieving the wish of my father and property owner, Macaraig, that we need to share this beautiful natural environment with others,” Canton said in a statement.

Canton said the family thought of coming up with an eco-tourism facility after the Philippines was recognized by a French-publication, Nature, as the Ecotourism Destination Awardee in April 2009.

Canton also said that based on data from the International Ecotourism Society (IES), eco-tourists tend to spend more than $90 unlike regular tourists, who only spend an average of $60 a day.

IES, in its 2007 report, also said that 15 percent of worldwide tourists fall under the eco-tourists category.

“I believe that the number of eco-tourists will still grow. Gone is the era of over consumption and people now prefer green activities,” he said.

More funds

CEC Inc. partnered with Tri-Globe Capital of Canada toget funding for the project, amounting to Canadian $15 million.

But Canton said that after conducting an ocular inspection of the site, representatives of Tri-Globe Capital advised CEC Inc. that it can increase its funding support of up to Canadian $1 billion.

Canton said that the extra fund will be used for infrastructure projects—like roads, bridges, water generation and low-cost housing projects—that the company will undertake in the future.

Right now, the company is focused on completing the first phase of the CEC facility, which will start construction in October and will be completed in one year.

Within the 3.5 hectare property, the CEC will also have a scuba diving center, electronic library, observation tower, restaurant and bar, mangrove walkways, a spa and wellness center, first-aid clinic and a boat dock for small water craft.

The CEC will also build classrooms since it would also want to offer lectures on indigenous flora and conservation information sessions.

It will be operated with European Class “C” hotel rates, which means that a night’s stay at the facility will only range from Canadian $40-$50. “It is not a luxury hotel,” Canton said.

The CEC will offer various eco-activities like scuba diving, island hopping, ocean kayaking, bird watching and canoeing.

Experiential activities are also offered, like coral or mangrove planting, shark sighting inside a shark cage and archaeological expeditions.

CEC Inc. already got an acceptability rating from the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) for its project.

“The DENR has already certified us for the specific use of the land,” Canton said, adding that the development will not cause any negative impact to the bird sanctuary in Olango Island, situated off Mactan.

3T foreign buyers to visit exhibit (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/3t-foreign-buyers-visit-exhibit)

MORE than 3,000 foreign buyers are expected to attend the 2nd One Cebu Expo at the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) on Aug. 7 to 16.

Enrison Benedicto, vice chairman of the One Cebu Council, said these tourists come from different countries, which the council has visited with Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia.

For updates from around the country, follow Sun.Star on Twitter

Most of them come from Slovak Republic, Russia and Slovenia.

Inspired by the political unity of the province, the new logo of One Cebu was unveiled last night during the launching at the Capitol Social Hall.

It shows six colorful leaves, representing the “united six districts of the province.”

Garcia, in her speech, said that as a province, Cebu was once threatened for dismemberment because of “the selfishness of some politicians who proposed for the creation of three more provinces.”

“Gihulga nga mabuak but certainly not from altruistic politicians who wanted to be governors in their own districts,” Garcia added.

She said, “We rallied and asked for support from the Cebuanos.”

But, Garcia said that “all that happened is a thing of the past.”

“The unity or oneness is coming together to showcase what Cebu can offer not only in the country, but to the rest of the world is the intangible aspect of the holding of One Cebu Expo.”

This year’s expo, Benedicto said, is much bigger since more than 300 exhibitors have already confirmed to display their products, ranging from the hotel and food industry, gifts, toys and housewares.

Last year, he said the biggest challenge for the organizers was how to fill the space allocated at CICC but “now we runn out of space.”

To address the issue on accessibility of CICC, Capitol will also provide two buses to ferry the public to the exhibit.

Dili man na nga kung naa na branch nearby, dapat wala na laing branch. It doesn't work that way. Ang main nga i-consider is the volume of people in a certain area, like downtown cebu and fuente. Daghan ingon ani sa manila, not only true to jollibee but for other establishments as well (starbucks pod to name one). BTW, i heard that Jollibee Cybergate will be a 24hrs store.

Yep...We know nga naa gud ni sila feasibility study gi-conduct prior sa decision...Ang gipasabot lang ni @diehardbisdak nga medyo nanaghan na ang Jabee diha sa may fuente ba...It means, ing-ana na gud diay ka strong ang market within that area.

For me this is good news. As long as this project sticks to its name nga "Eco-Center" facility. Basta dili lang madaot ang ecosystem, that would be fine.

I really don't know if this is good news or bad news, considering that the place is Olango Island.

mas nindot man gyud nga unahan nimo og butang business while wala pa nahuman ang surrounding establishments nga maka-generate og sales. naa pa gyud na ang sa fuente triangle nga U/C karon.

^^Good point Bai...Ang call center diay unya sa Cybergate ang makadungag sa market.

wala man ko ni-ingon nga ni-complain ka, hehehe. peace. :) more Jollibees to come, you'll be more amazed.

...close to or more than 40 Jollibee stores na sa whole Cebu..i don't know if this is an indication of a good economy or need lang gyud as an alternative sa mga mahal nga restaurants..

yep, pero naa man ni-close nga duha ka franchise stores. Makro and Cinerama.

...if i'm not mistaken, more than 40 Jollibee stores na sa whole Cebu

^^ i see...karon pa ako ana bai...ni-close diay ang sa Makro...pero, na-a man store a few meters away from Makro, sa may gasoline station...

...about sa Cinerama, if my memory serves me correctly, i've read a blog from an employee of Jollibee Cinerama..he mentioned that it was temporarily closed for renovation and this store will be managed by Jollibee company (not a franchise store anymore)

it's the latter. i've read an article featuring McDonalds, I can't remember kung asa to nako nabasa but Golden Arches will be putting up 15 or 16 more branches nationwide bcoz of the shift of customers from fine dining restos to fastfoods due to the economic crisis. Same with the 168, 868, 138 and all the 8's and unitop. Customers nowadays would prefer to buy from these store rather than from the high-end malls and dept stores.

This is what worries me...Are they gonna stick with the "Eco-center" concept forever, or basin sa sugod lang na.

Knowing how lax our government in implementing laws.

tawagi kuno bai...heheh!

Makro man ang ga-franchise sa ilang Jollibee didto. The whole Makro declared bankruptsy and SM took over. I heard SM will convert all Makro branches into SM Hypermart.

As for Cinerama, the initial plan was to renovate and re-open as company-owned but there was an unsettled issue between Zobella Holdings (the franchising company) and the owner of Cinerama bldg. Dili man ma-turnover sa company so it's gonna be closed na gyud.

They closed since March 1, 2009. 3 franchise stores closed (with Guadalupe) who re-opened last June 12, 2009 as company-owned.

^^ bai, na-a pa lagi ang MAKRO and CINERAMA stores sa website: www.jollibee.com.ph ...i know nga updated ang Jollibee website pirme...since when man nag close bai?

yeah, i saw it bai. wala pa siguro na-update. Sa manila man gud ang tig-update ana. di ma-contact ang ilang numbers.

I hate beggars... dili tungod kay wa koy kasing kasing but it is because sa ako tan aw mas hayahay pa sila sa mga OFW's ning nasura. Na compare ra nako kung mag trabaho ka specially sa laing country, kayud as in hapit na di ka SSC tungod sa trabaho. Pero kaning mga beggars, mag atang rag hatagan, wa gyuy laing gihuna huna og wa gyuy kapoy ang ilang kinabuhi. Luoy lagi tan awn kay naa ra sa gawas manga tog pero anad anad raman sad na. They chose to be like that bisag napay daghang options than begging.

Ang sa ako lang, kung mo hatag gud ta nila wa ta kahibaw asa padong ang atong gi hatag nga kwarta...Naka hinumdom lang nuon ko atong usa ka beggar sa underpass didto sa Taipei, ako ta tong picturan pero nasulod naman niya sa bulsa ang iyang celfon before ko naka kuha sa akong camera. Nahimu ot lang ko nag tan aw nga hugaw kaayo siya tan awn, ala bob marley look pero nindot kaayog celfon. Abi niyag way taw, tawag tawag man, kit an nuon ang iyag iphone! Syet! Suyer kay ko ato sa manglilimos...

Mao na nga ang akong tabangan, kanang among silingan nga nagkalisod nag trabaho pero di gyud maabot ang iyang budget sa mga kinahanglanon. Nakita nako nga ni kayod siya og maayo taman sa ginhawa, so dapat lang tabangan. Mao na nga kamong manghatag diha sa dan, tingk tways kay kamo ray maalkansi og basig madakpan pa mo...hehe

This is what worries me...Are they gonna stick with the "Eco-center" concept forever, or basin sa sugod lang na.

There is that risk bai, but I think all in all its a good thing. They have incentive (gains) man gud to preserve the ecosystem kay part man na sa ilahang natural capital. That's what they are using to lure in the people. Di ba kung damaged ang lugar di wala na pod ganahan muvisit. That's why, because of the nature of their business, they would keep the environment at least as pristine as possible. When the business itself is doing that, it frees the DENR and government's money to spend for other places that need protection.

Usa pa, you know who the biggest threat is of damaging the environment of Olango? It is the residents there themselves. The government and NGOs have been trying to invest new programs and projects like community-based ecotourism just to keep the residents (the immediate threat) from utilizing these resources (ang mangroves are used for firewood and other purposes, the wide intertidal flats can be used for growing commercial seaweed).

At least now, if that project pushes through, I'm sure they will hire locals for the operations (adding up to their green, fair trade image) and that would also keep the locals at bay from exploiting the protected areas.

The added infrastructures that go along with the project will also greatly help the island. I know how it is in the island since I have visited it many times, and we had a study there back in college.

I hate beggars... dili tungod kay wa koy kasing kasing but it is because sa ako tan aw mas hayahay pa sila sa mga OFW's ning nasura.

Ang sa ako lang, kung mo hatag gud ta nila wa ta kahibaw asa padong ang atong gi hatag nga kwarta...Naka hinumdom lang nuon ko atong usa ka beggar sa underpass didto sa Taipei, ako ta tong picturan pero nasulod naman niya sa bulsa ang iyang celfon before ko naka kuha sa akong camera.

Yep. Mas maayo pa mohatag anang mga bata nga naningkamot mamunit og basura/lata/botelya para makakwarta lang.

Ang silingan namo, sige lang og k*yod, wa gud kayod. Ang anak, gitabangan sa mga paryente para maka-eskwela...igo lang ning-gradwet, buntis dayon. Grabeha lagi pud og panghunahuna. Wa gud sense of responsibility ba.

asa ko manghatag anang mga beggars... naa na silay sindikato oi. kung m.hatag ka ana nila. managhan na nuon na sila. kay kibaw man sila na naay maluoy ug m.hatag nila. makalagot nang uban tao na muhatag nlng kay mauwaw na tawgun na "dawo". pero ako. asa ko muhatag ana. bahalag tawgon kog "dawo"... ur really not helping them. ur consenting them!

poverty is a state of mind! naa tay freedom para makalingkawas sa poverty. its up to us how.

though sa ilang part lisud compared nato kay nakaskuyla ta ug nakagraduate. pero naa pay dghan paagi para makalingkawas sa kakabos...

me i don't give them money bahala'g naa pa ko'y sinsilyo kay pamliti na nako para wala na'y sukli2x. kung magdala pud ko'g food and along the way naa'y manglimos, buanga bitaw, ako sad hatagan. hehehe... naay one time nagpalit ko og alberto's unya samtang mupauli nako sa amoa kay nikalit lang og naay nisugat nako usa ka batang yagit unya ngayo daw siya pizza! waaaaa, nagkatawa ko kay kahibalo siya pizza ang akong gibitbit! nahimuot lang ko maong gihatagan na lang nako! reward kunuhay! hehehehe...

@leviaragon: Recognized pud baya ang uban natong Indie films. ;)



Kita nakag...

A Very Special Love?
You Changed My Life?
Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat?
Ang Cute ng Ina Mo?
ug uban pang movies, especially by Star Cinema?

EDIT: I agree wholeheartedly to all of bakasaurus' points above. :)

Why do u ask... have you read the previous messages i posted??
I dont see any point watching those movies.. its a waste of time and money, IMO. So if your fond of watching those kind of movies, i dont care......... you should not ask me..^^ I guess youve missed the point of the argument.. Kung di ka kasakay maypa magpa front seat na lang ka..

@bakasarus.. yes its true, our movie industry is demand driven just like any other products and services..
however, its is not simply quality or artistic value that is at stake.. because, even in hollywood their is far demand based movies yet they clicked in box office....The Piano, is one good example.

I believe the problem is itself the stakeholders of the movie industry... not the demand.. its the lack of ingenuity and foresight..
And besides, we have good and quality based movies even the earliest days of the philippine movie industry. But anyway, i believe their is no point discussing this.. problema na nila.

Ang dapat nato i discuss is how to help the local movie industry. May unta na naay mo start ug even a 1 and one half hour Cebuani Indie film. Do you think guys, this could be a good idea for a SSC-Cebu project.... to produce a Cebuano Indie film, which would be initially shown to schools..

it's the latter. i've read an article featuring McDonalds, I can't remember kung asa to nako nabasa but Golden Arches will be putting up 15 or 16 more branches nationwide bcoz of the shift of customers from fine dining restos to fastfoods due to the economic crisis.

Unfortunately about 70% of Mcdo's supposed expansion was put on hold..
according to my friend, actually he is in charge of looking for spaces, closing deals for future stores in Vismin. You will be surprised Mcdo hasnt opened any store in Cebu until now and even for the rest of the year ( i suppose)
The reason; they are hit by the financial crisis. A sizable investment was tied to the Lehman Brothers which as we all know crashed on 2008.

though sa ilang part lisud compared nato kay nakaskuyla ta ug nakagraduate. pero naa pay dghan paagi para makalingkawas sa kakabos...

bitaw, naa mana sindikato na nagkupot ana nila. kung nakaadto na mo sa hongkong, naa mana didto mga beggars na ibutang sa mga sidewalks ug ang uban gani luoy kaayo tanawon kay mga disabled ug maghilak pa gani murag magpatabang, pero ingon ang kaila namo na naa sa hongkong kay mga slave daw kuno to sa mga sindikato. ila nang tuyoon gani ug disabled nang mga tawhana aron himuong mga beggars, luoy lagi kuno kaayo kay wa man pud daw ka mabuhat kay naa man daw nang mga tawhana connection sa mga police ug basin pa gani ang ilang head kay mga police general pa gani. sanglit dapat ana ang gobyerno gyud ang mag-impose ug mga penalty ana nila ug tagaan silag work bisag kibbutz style lang, ug kung dili gani sila mutrabaho sa prisohan sila isulod ug didto required gyud na magtrabaho sila o parehason sa probinsyal jail na himuon nalang silang entertainers ug iyoutube dayon.

why not dba.. patabang lang ta sa bigfoot.heheh

correct bai... we can raise the money to be used for production initiative for this endeavor.. i myself would be more than willing to contribute for this if we can put this as another SSC-Cebu project.. i think this not expensive to make.

...Naka hinumdom lang nuon ko atong usa ka beggar sa underpass didto sa Taipei, ako ta tong picturan pero nasulod naman niya sa bulsa ang iyang celfon before ko naka kuha sa akong camera.

poverty is a state of mind! naa tay freedom para makalingkawas sa poverty. its up to us how.

though sa ilang part lisud compared nato kay nakaskuyla ta ug nakagraduate. pero naa pay dghan paagi para makalingkawas sa kakabos...bitaw, naa mana sindikato na nagkupot ana nila.

hope i won't be touching people's sensitivities but let me offer my point of
view on this matter ....

my bottom line is ... don't generalize ...

let me quote Genesis 18:20-21 - "God comes with two angels, appearing as men, to Abraham in the plains of Mamre. After receiving the hospitality of Abraham and Sarah, his wife, God reveals to Abraham that he will investigate Sodom and Gomorrah, because their cry is great, "and because their sin is very grievous." In response, Abraham reverently inquires of God if he would spare the city if 50 righteous people were found in it, then 45, then 30, then 20, or even ten, with God affirming he would not destroy it after each request, for the sake of the righteous yet dwelling therein."

it is true that there exist a syndicate which controls beggars, especially
children. this was even given an episode in the local evening teleseries
"Santino" (ha ha ha sakpan hinuon hinan-aw! :D). and its true that many of
the beggars could have done other things beside begging. its also true, and
this is a personal experience, that children-beggars beg for money, only for
you to find out, gi-hantak na ang imo gihatag after you left.

but there are genuine beggars out there who are really so poor they have to
ask for anything just to fill their stomach for the day. and poverty is true
in this country and this city and not something to disregard. i've have had
different opinions when i was younger. but now, after years of looking at
the situation, after working in development work for so long, after seeing
things from many angles, i've come to a conclusion .... that the only way for
the poor to rise from their hopeless state is for those who are rich to reach
out and lend a hand to them. i may sound idealistic here, but that is truly
what i believe. and governments, both national and local, should not be
there to "eliminate" poverty, or "eradicate" them but to create an environ-
ment for people to help. we might have lots of things to say about how
people do this and do that but in the end, i believe man is till a kind being
and it mankind, those who have something in life who will eventually reach
out to raise those who have not and are trodden on the ground.


as to the topic at hand, i agree and i ask - please don't give anything on the
streets. the ordinance might not have been fully implemented (as to the
fines to those who give) but its spirit of giving in the right manner still holds.
if you really care for them, DON'T GIVE on the streets. give to the right
charitable institutions so that your money would be effectively and efficient-
ly used (un harun di magsakit imong buot inig lingi nimo nga gi-hantak na
imong kwarta). the other option is to give food. i've tried this but many
times also di dawaton kay wawarts ila .... imagine!


but then again, my request, don't generalize ...

Perspective Plan for the
Philippine Coast Guard - Greater Maritime Assistance (PCG-GMA)
Support Base Mactan Project
in Punta Engano, Mactan, Cebu

http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/5394/mactan.jpg

PCG-GMA Support Base Project will rise on a 12-hectare foreshore area in Barangay Punta Engaño, Mactan, Cebu which was acquired by the PCG-DOTC thru a Presidential Proclamation for this purpose. Of this area, about 3.20 hectares will be for: a) land development and dredging, b) construction of buildings, c) facilities for the maintenance of aids to navigation, d) marine pollution and environmental protection system, and e) berthing facilities for PCG vessels.

The Project aims to further promote maritime safety, marine environmental protection and maritime security in the Visayan region particularly in Cebu area considered as the country’s hub of maritime activities. As the home base of PCG Search and Rescue, and Marine Environmental Protection Units and Vessels in Central Eatern Visayas, it will serve as a quick response center for SAR and other maritime responses including maritime security law enforcement and oil spill response operations.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the Philippine Coast Guard - Greater Maritime Assistance (PCG-GMA) Support Base Mactan Project was held on the 18th day of June 2009 with the DOTC Undersecretary for Maritime Transport, USEC Thompson P Lantion as Guest of Honor, together with Admiral Wilfredo D Tamayo, the PCG Commandant.

My take on begging.

I rather give food than money. If the beggar asks for money, say "screw it!"

This is an old photo (probably around 2007) of the traffic congestion at Banilad road. We really need to solidify our support towards BRT.

Mua og tupad ra lage ni sa Amisa. Unsa kaha ang hitsura ani kung naay pier dapit sa Amisa. Okay ra if naa pod aesthetics ang pier hehe.



On begging, food is always preferable to give than money. Ingon pa sa akong titser sa una, sometimes, you have to be cruel to be kind. Usa pa, better be harmless than helpful.

Manoy Zid, I would just like to ask, after mahuman ang 3 studies on BRT, and supposing everything goes well, how soon kaha makastart ang pagconstruct sa BRT structures? Ug unsa ang pinakaconservative estimate kung kanus-a siya operational?

Sige lang baya ko bugalbugalan sa ako mga barkada kay niingon man gud ko sa una nga bisan ug madato ko kay dili gyud ko palit ug awto, except lang kung akong balay pohon outside sa metro. Hehehe. Dapat dili nako tunlon ang akong kaugalingong gipanulti. Nakasalalay sa BRT ang akong kahimtang ani. Hahahaha.Ako bitaw sila giingnan na tanawa lang unya ninyo, muimprove na ang public transpo sa Cebu in the next few years and so I wouldn't buy a car which will just add to the volumne of traffic and pollutants. In any case, ingon nako, kay manghitch na lang unya ko nila. What are friends are for. Hehehe.

^^

right! where exactly gyud siya ibutang. hope someone can show an aerial view. salamat daan.

uh-oh :ohno: a few meters away from Amisa's front beach. I wonder how this would affect the area's serene ambiance. on the lighter side, this aims to promote maritime safety, marine environmental protection and maritime security in Cebu area.

Well, since it is a government project, mora og mailisan na siguro og bag-ong mga building ang mga towers sa Amisa, di pa ni mahuman.

So ayaw ra kabalaka, Bai @Rusty....Basin gani bluff ra ni nga project..Palami ba...Hehehhe

sa cordova unta na gibutang.

kamangasipsip ba aning mga taga-gobyerno bah!! (ooooppssss, taga gobyerno

Support Base Mactan Project

and why would anyone want to build a coast guard support base in the middle
of a prime tourism resort precinct? if i'm the mayor or planning officer of that
city, i'll disapprove the locational clearance right then and there. there must
be a better, more conducive use for that expensive land area well-suited to
and complementing the thriving tourism enclave there!

sa cordova unta na gibutang.

depende. most of cordova is still a resort tourism pricinct. i have nothing
against the project and i support it 100%. pero ngano man tawon mag-apil-apil
man diha sa high-end tourism area. kadaghang laing lugar near the port area
or even on the mactan side but on the commercial/industrial side. nganong
adto man jud moipon didto nga that's for search and rescue operations, etc.
nya oil spill response operations pa jud! toinks!

sa cordova unta na gibutang.

bitaw mas maayog sa cordova ra..madisturb man pod nang areaha diha..nindot lang unta og resorts ang modominate anang dapita..

Well, since it is a government project, mora og mailisan na siguro og bag-ong mga building ang mga towers sa Amisa, di pa ni mahuman.

So ayaw ra kabalaka, Bai @Rusty....Basin gani bluff ra ni nga project..Palami ba...Hehehhe

...ang question bai, why hilum ra man sila...they did not bother man gani to have a press release...June 18 pa baya sila nag ground breaking...kung wala ta nag search, wala baya ta makabalo ani...hehehe..

^^Hinoon pud...Sensya sa pagka-pessimistic regarding government project, especially national agencies ang involve.

Pun-an pa nga sa rendering, mora og kinahanglan sila mag-reclaim og gamayng lugar.

As per Sir Zid, dapat gud daw ni mahuman within June 2010, kay naa baya suffix nga GMA ang acronym sa maong establishment. Problem is, basin half cook (pinugos) na pud ni nga government project...hmmm... I hope dili.

remember mayor tom wants to transfer the CIP at cordova? so maayo kung adto pud didto ang CG IMO.

...as per sa website, na-a sab the same developments in Romblon and in Languidigan, Northern Mindanao...both of these locations have bigger area and better than they are building in Cebu..

remember mayor tom wants to transfer the CIP at cordova? so maayo kung adto pud didto ang CG IMO.

right ... but the proposed CIP transfer to cordova was on the mactan channel
side of the then proposed mactan south reclamation project. that western
strip of the MSRA was then proposed for port/commercial use. haum jud unta
nang PCG project. not on the eastern side of cordova cause that's still a
tourism precinct (at least if the master plan is followed).
