i hope nga walay mga muslim extremist nga magpa tuso2x lang ug worship ani ilang mosque nga naa raba gyud sa pinabusy street sa colon. human gyud ang reputation sa cebu ani. even though we welcome all faiths and denomination sa atong lugar but dili gyud ta mo take ug chances kay they have a reputation to destroy everything thats peaceful to instill fear in people and create disorder.

^^ since 10 years+ na ko diri sa Saudi Arabia...mao ni akong nakat-onan og na-experience about Muslim / Islam:

- Muslims are just like us (Christians)...there are good people and there are bad as well...much like us, the center of their life is in this order: religion, family, friends

- Do you know that part of Islam teaching includes Jesus Christ and Mary and all our prophets and holy characters in our Holy Bible?...but one of the things they don't believe is Mary's Immaculate Conception of Jesus Christ...we Christians, Jesus Christ is our last prophet and He is the center of our faith...but in Islam, it's Prophet Mohammad who came after Jesus Christ and in Islam, Prophet Mohammad is the last prophet and teaching in Islam is centered in him..

- I am kaliwiti (walhon) kung mokaon but everytime mokaon ko in public, most of the time, i've been reminded politely that it's not good to use my left hand but some time, there are rude people saying in front of my face that using my left hand is the work of "shaytan" or para sa "satanas" kuno akong gibuhat! and yes, you read it right...they also discuss Satan in Islam...

- one thing i dislike is some of them are forcing us Christians to convert to Islam...it's like they're telling us that we're living in the wrong path...

- the late Pope John Paul II, had allowed the King of Saudi Arabia to build a very huge Mosque in Rome, Italy...but the King did not agree for us Christians to build a church here in Saudi Arabia...

- lastly, the word JIHAD...it's in the Quran...any Muslims are allowed to perform a Holy War to spread the word of Islam, to struggle for any cause, violent or not..

^^yes sir,,,,islam og christian are related,, according to the koran,nagpakita pud daw si angel gabriel sa propeta sa mga muslim,,,,,,,,,actually,i beleive we, christians and muslims paraise the same god,,,,,,,,,:yes:

Only on it's first day did it rise to it's maximum, it's been downhill since then. It closed really low last Tuesday at P106.3 as opposed to P125 during IPO and closing at around P130. Now, JGSummit is buying back shares from the open market:

http://business.inquirer.net/money/topstories/view/20101222-310311/JG-Summit-now-buying-back-Cebu-Air-stock

It was a shame I was unable to buy some during their IPO. My initial plan was to buy on opening and sell on closing, since I firmly believed that the prices would always go up on their first day. And it rightfully did, and hasn't risen since.

guys, if possible let us refrain from discussing issues pertaining to religious beliefs.. we might be misconstrued or misinterpreted... hopefully previous discussion here shall be enough na.. be assured that all forumer's religious convictions, beliefs and non beliefs are well respected by the group.

Lets focus on Cebu's development and any other appropriate issues na lang..:)

^^yes sir,,,,islam og christian are related,, according to the koran,nagpakita pud daw si angel gabriel sa propeta sa mga muslim,,,,,,,,,actually,i beleive we, christians and muslims paraise the same god,,,,,,,,,:yes:
(according to the you tube video, "Paksiw, ang Bantugang Irong-Buang) The war between Christians and Muslims started in Mactan. It goes like this:

Sauna'ng panahon, dunay usa ka Muslim ug usa ka Kristiyano nga mga negosyante! Amigo kaayo ang duha. Usa ka higayon ang gibaligya-suroy sa Muslim, sundang (bolo). Ang gibaligya-suroy sa Kristiyano, habol (blanket).
Misiyagit ang negosyanteng Muslim: "Sundang, sundang!". Misiyagit sab ang Kristiyano: "Habol, habol!"

Tungod niini, gikalagot sa Muslim ang gibuhat sa amigong Kristiyano. Miduol siya sa Kristiyano, ug sa usa ka hapos sa liog, putol ang ulo sa Kristiyano! Patay! Niingon ang Muslim: "Ingon ka habol, hait man lagi!"

Mao na ang sinugdanan sa away tali sa mga Muslim ug Kristiyano!

Lessons from the story:

Words have thousands of meanings.
Different strokes from different folks.
Listening, is the beginning of understanding.
What you hear may not mean what was said.
There is a big difference that could exist when communicating: but all depends on who the receiver and the sender are.
WYSIWYG - "what you see is what you get" is sometimes false.
"Kon magpaghatud ug sud-an, mahimo nga kulang ang moabot ngadto sa gipadad-an, ug magpahatud ug tsismis, siguro nga mapun-an gyud ang sugilon!"

Capitol to turn former camp to comm’l district (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/local-news/capitol-turn-former-camp-comm-l-district)
Comment| More | By Elias O. Baquero

Friday, December 31, 2010

A COMMERCIAL district is what the Capitol has planned for Camp Lapu-Lapu, a Province-owned property occupied by the military, an official said yesterday.

The development will start in the first quarter of 2011, after the guidelines recommended by the Technical Working Group are signed by Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia and the Department of National Defense, said lawyer Rory Jon Sepulveda, consultant on information and revenue generation of the Provincial Government.

The military has agreed to return 80.3 hectares in Barangays Banilad, Lahug and Apas, all in Cebu City, to the Province.

Of the total area, 30 to 40 hectares are occupied by the Central Command (Centcom), National Intelligence Coordinating Agency, Civil Relations Group, Philippine Army’s engineering battalion, Camp Lapu-Lapu Hospital, Army Reserve Force and the parade grounds, among others.

The rest are occupied by trees and settlers.

The Technical Working Group, composed of both Capitol and military representatives, is for the Armed Forces to abandon Camp Lapu-Lapu after their facilities are relocated.

Sepulveda said that the governor wants big developers to submit project proposals, so whoever will be awarded the contract will be the one to spend for the military’s relocation.

One of the site’s attractions is its nearness to the Asiatown IT Park and large hotels.
Interested parties may submit unsolicited proposals.

Sepulveda clarified the development will cover only the areas occupied by the Armed Forces and will not affect the lots occupied by settlers.

Was it because of the speculations of AirAsia entering the Philippine aviation industry?

This is a good move by the Capitol. For sure, the Ayalas will be among the bidders. They can expand AITP to include this lot. It's quite huge. Hopefully, thr settlers will be relocated properly.

ANC Dateline featured fireworks from the sky of QC, Global City Taguig, Makati and Cebu.

The fireworks all over Metro Cebu's skyline was amazing! Especially the fireworks that were fired by the international hotels, Crown Regency and others that came up from nowhere!

I compared it to the fireworks video of 2010! Man! All I can say is even the fireworks every new year can tell how progressive Cebu is! It just get better and bigger!

REAL ESTATE BOOM TO TAKE PEAK IN 2011

CEBU, Philippines - As big and small developers started to pour in their investments in 2010 to dramatically change Cebu’s real estate landscape, the year 2011 ushers in a new dimension of the industry’s boom.
The renewed confidence of investors and market for the Philippine economy in general will benefit the entire real estate industry, especially in Cebu—the new second-home attraction for both local and foreign markets, said Philippine Allied Chamber of Real estate Brokers and Licensed Salesmen (PhilACRE) president Anthony Leuterio.
“The year 2011 will be the most exciting year real estate sector in recent years. A golden rabbit is a great sign for all of us. The influx of tourists and with the renewed confidence brought about by the new government will make the Philippines, especially Cebu more attractive for real estate buyers all over the world,” said Leuterio.
Aside from condominiums, which fuels the growth of the real estate sector in Cebu, Leuterio said increasing demand for middle-range and economic housing projects is projected to strengthen, and that OFWs are the main target market for this segment.
Although, there is also a good market outlook for high-end and sophisticated retirement residential projects, Leuterio said this particular segment only accounts for minimal percentage of the entire real estate growth for 2011.
Multi-billion pesos real estate projects will be started in Cebu this year, a combination of commercial and residential developments.
In 2010, Cebu gained the attention of the country’s top developers, where billions of pesos had been allocated to change the landscape of the Queen City of the South—making it a truly world-class urban center.
Established developers such as SM Prime, Filinvest, Ayala Land Inc., Aboitiz Land Inc., and among others are just few of the dozens of real estate capitalists that in the Philippines that officially announced their serious investments in Cebu in the real estate sector.
With limited availability of land in the island Province, developers have opted to build high-rise buildings for condominiums, commercial and BPO facilities, shopping malls, hotels, and re-creation centers.
The most awaited development which was announced in the middle of this year, is the conversion of the 30-hectare lot at the South Road Properties (SRP) for a mixed-used development of the SM Prime Holdings, which include the establishment of one of the world’s largest malls in Cebu.
Hans Sy, SM Prime Holdings president said that the company will spend at least P20 billion of the development of the SRP lot in the next few years, of which planning and construction activities started in the latter part of this year.
According to Sy, Cebu’s well-managed economy is one of the reasons why the company has put its money here.
“We are confident of how the whole Cebu is being managed. We are going to duplicate in Cebu what we’ve done in Manila,” he said.
Gotianun-led Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI) started its P25 billion project also at SRP in 2010, with the introduction of Citta di Mare or “City by the Sea,” a project, in partnership with the Cebu City government.
FLI’s Citta di Mare is a master-planned community that intensifies the attraction-wealth of Cebu—the resort living.
Aside from the 12 thousand to 15 thousand condominium units that will be constructed, the development will also construct integrated facilities, such as commercial, waterfront lifestyle strip, and a residential cluster, among others.
CIPC managing director Joel Mari S. Yu earlier announced that CIPC and the real estate and tourism sectors in Cebu will together formulate a roadmap in making Cebu as an International “Second Home Destination” not only in the world.
Selling condominiums to foreign national buyers, is the easiest way as it does not restrict them from owning one. Owning a land property on the other hand, requires foreigners to have a legal linkage with a Filipino partner, in most cases (for residential purposes)—a Filipina wife.
In June of this year, Ayala Corporation chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala expressed his confidence of Cebu’s real estate sector, saying country’s giant conglomerate will advance its presence Cebu’s real estate landscape, disclosing interest to buy more lands in the province.
Zobel said that the company’s interest through its various subsidiaries in real estate development group led by ALI will be magnified here.
AboitizLand Inc. on the other hand, announced to launch at least two to three projects by 2011, mostly are into residential and commercial condominium facilities.
Newly established real estate company, Innoland Development Corporation recently announced its P1 billion investments for the “The Calyx Center”, a 26-story building will offer over 200 residential and commercial condominium units that will target the growing mobile professionals and technology workers in Cebu.
Robinsons Land Corporation also will complete its latest project ahead of schedule its first tower in the AmiSa Private Residences, the residential component of AmiSa, its master-planned five-star leisure resort community in Punta Engano, Mactan, Cebu.
The property development arm of the J. King and Son Inc., Fuente Triangle Realty Development is also currently building more condominium properties in Metro Cebu, including its condo-tel projects around the country.
Aside from these developers, there are also a growing number of new entrants in the real estate sector in Cebu, taking advantage of the booming real estate business here.
New entrant Cebu Green Peaks Development Inc., recently launched the all -residential garden high-rise condominium project located on Molave Street in Lahug, this City. The project will provide a total of 165 units of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and garden villas and suites.
Other real estate developers are also scouting good locations for countryside residential developments, to re-enforce Cebu’s positioning as a retirement and second home destination in the world.
This active momentum of real estate investors to change the landscape of Cebu into a world-class metropolis, has given real estate sellers and brokers opportunity to expect 2011 as a “wealth” generator year, added Leuterio, who also owns the Leuterio Realty company in Cebu.
Economists said that the low interest rates have made it more attractive for people to buy real estate properties, while banks have also expanding their loan offerings especially to residential property buyers. (FREEMAN)

Metrobank group expanding power plants in Iloilo City, Cebu amid growing demand
BusinessWorld
January 2, 2010
9:03 P.M

THE FAMILY of taipan George S.K. Ty wants to increase its investments in power generation in the Visayas under Global Business Power Corp., to take advantage of growth in the region’s energy requirements.

“The need for power in the Visayas region will continue to grow, especially with the expected uptrend in the economy,” said Alfred V. Ty, vice-chairman, in a statement.

“Additional generating capacity must be made available to sustain this growth,” he added.

Mr. Ty said the Global Business Power group was looking at adding two 82-megawatt (MW) plants in Toledo, Cebu and another 82-MW plant in La Paz, Iloilo City.

The projects, which would add 246 MW to the Cebu-Negros-Panay (CNP) power transmission grid, are estimated to cost a total of $492 million and are expected to be completed by 2014, the firm said.

“We are now reviewing the various aspects of these investments, including market demand, timing, and project financing,” he said.

The plan to expand its energy business comes as the family’s existing power projects come fully online.

Global Business Power has just completed its three-boiler 246-MW clean coal power plant in Toledo through Cebu Energy Development Corp. (CEDC), a consortium among Global Business Power, Aboitiz Power Corp., Vivant Energy Corp., and Formosa Heavy Industries Corp. of Taiwan.

The Ty family also has investments in Panay Energy Development Corp. (PEDC), which is also on-track with its 164-MW power plant in Iloilo City. PEDC’s two 82-MW power units will both be online with the CNP grid within the first quarter of 2011.

Once these projects are fully completed, the group will be delivering a total of 410 MW in additional capacity to the CNP grid by the first quarter of 2011. The group will then have a total installed capacity of 633 MW.

“Based on our study, with the coming in of our three units in CEDC and some units from other suppliers, the supply in the CNP Grid will be secured until 2013,” Mr. Ty said.

He warned, however, that there will be a shortage of 50 MW beginning 2014, and up to 130 MW by 2015. “The shortage will continue to increase until new capacity is added into the grid,” he added.

The Ty family’s Metrobank Group has investments in five power companies in the region. Apart from CEDC and PEDC, it also has ownership in GBH Power Resources, Inc., Toledo Power Co., and Panay Power Corp.

Toledo Power has power plants in Sangi and Carmen in Toledo, Cebu consisting of two coal-fired generators with an aggregate installed capacity of 66.25 megawatts and four units of diesel generator sets with a total installed capacity of 45.8 MW.

In Panay, Global Business Power has existing diesel power plants with a combined capacity of 109.5 MW.

Feature: Central Visayas envisions to be country's topnotch service center
By Minerva BC Newman

CEBU, Jan. 2 (PIA) -- The Central Visayas region envisions to become the nation's topnotch service center in the era of globalization.

This was contained in a Regional Development Agenda of Central Visayas report that the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA-7) presented during a regional business and economic forum in the last quarter of 2010.

MORE (http://www.pia.gov.ph/?m=1&t=1&id=9709)

some details from the looooong article

* The economy of Central Visayas is dominated by services and industry and not by agriculture

* Central Visayas shares in the country's economic pie as far as services and industry are concerned, has increased from 59.8 percent in 2006 to 60.5 percent in 2008

* Central Visayas is now recognized as the nation's leading region in the expansion of its ICT industry and becoming the e-services hub in Asia.

*Cebu in 2008 has already hosted more than 35 foreign direct investments in IT and BPO that accounted for more than 50,000 workers in the region

*trade accounts for more than 30 percent of the total regional output

*Central Visayas, particularly Cebu, is now gaining prominence as a "design capital of the Philippines for furniture and fashion accessories."

*Central Visayas has been acknowledged as a peaceful and orderly place for business. For one, the AFP declared two of the biggest provinces in the region (Cebu and Bohol) as insurgency free

sus nindota pohon og maapil na ang Cebu sa mga major cities around the world nga ibroadcast ang celebration sa New Year!

it would be great if Cebu City would be a Beta class city.:yes: :banana::banana:
(nagdamgo napud ko lol)

Enough guys!

This is an unsolicited advice, but just a concern SSC Cebu forumer.

If any of the SSC Davao forumers who are lurking here in Cebu main thread. Please don't misunderstood nor misinterpret us here. You're very much welcome to post here for as long as it is related to Cebu or both cities. We don't need FYI's about your city coz I think that the whole RP knows about the city ordinance on firecrackers, cigarette smoking and etc.

To my beloved SSC Cebu forumers, I think it's better to ignore any unrelated issues rather than express our interpretation or thoughts about it to avoid any unlikely exchange here.

Humility is one the most admirable traits of being a Cebuano. I always believe that we are being exalted by HIM coz we are such a humble people.

Amen!

Let's :cheers: to that!

Margot O. to push Cebu's "Pocket of Beauty" series (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=644927&publicationSubCategoryId=108)
By Ehda M. Dagooc (The Freeman)
January 04, 2011

CEBU, Philippines - Cebu City councilor Margot Osmeña aims to spearhead the establishment of Cebu’s “pocket of beauty” series to support the vibrant tourism outlook projected for this year.

Osmeña, who is also the chairperson of Committee on Tourism, and Commission on History and Arts, announced that a budget to rehabilitate the “Plaza Hamabar” has already been approved, and that the project will start immediately as soon the funds will be released.

Plaza Hamabar is now a favorite dating place for lovers on Mabini Street. It is a multi-purpose park near the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral where the statue of Rajah Humabon, also known as Raja Hamabar is erected. Humabon was Cebu’s chieftain when Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan landed on Cebu’s shores to bring Christianity to the island.

However, she admitted the fact, that the release of the budget may take time, knowing the long process of papers to be signed.

The former Cebu City first lady said that Cebu should start identifying its “pocket of beauty” as it is becoming a “world-class” tourism destination.

“We have to give good memories to our visitors,” she said adding that adopting the ‘pocket-of-beauty’ concept could help the City maximize its tourism potential.

Osmeña acknowledged that just like any other popular destinations in the world—these destinations have their share of “ugly areas”, but they emphasized on promoting their “pocket-of-beauty.”

China, France and other countries are doing this concept. Cebu, on the other hand, can start its own.

Osmeña recently had an informal dialogue with the tourism stakeholders led by the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI), and other representatives from tourism related organizations, such as the Cebu Association of Travel Operators (CATO), National Association of Independent Travel Associations (Naitas), and others to get suggestions and comments from the stakeholders.

Part of the plan, according to Osmeña is to invite small communities in Cebu City to adopt their own “pocket-of-beauty” within their respective localities.

The Fuente Osmeña Circle is one of the possible areas that will be identified for another rehabilitation to pursue this project, she added.

“Fuente [circle] could be improved some more,” she said.

This idea was adopted by Osmeña through the suggestion of Cebu Investment and Promotion Center (CIPC) managing director Joel Mari S. Yu.

Ealier, Yu has been urging the Cebu City government to start establishing and identifying Cebu’s “pocket-of-beauty.” Yu said this project, could make Cebu a “beautiful City” in the memories of tourists.

“Eventually, we will become a ‘pretty City,” said Osmeña, who is also starting to develop another tourism related idea of providing “Hop-On/Hop-Off” Bus Tours within Cebu City.

Tourism stakeholders hope to set more dialogue with Osmeña in the coming days, to maximize Cebu’s potential in the tourism sector.

In December last year, The Cebu City council approved the resolution of Osmeña to allocate P1.5 million for improvement of the Plaza Hamabar. Such amount will be taken from the capital outlay item of the P1.3 billion Supplement Budget No.5.

Based on Osmeña’s resolution, the redevelopment and maintenance of Plaza Hamabar is necessary, considering that it is also one of the most historical plaza’s in the City. (FREEMAN)

Gardenia goes to Cebu
By Abigail L. Ho
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 22:21:00 01/03/2011

Filed Under: Food, Plant Openings, Philippines - Regions
MANILA, Philippines—Gardenia Bakeries Philippines Inc. will inaugurate Tuesday its Cebu plant, the company’s first manufacturing facility outside Luzon, in a bid to reach customers in the Visayas and Mindanao.

The new plant in Mactan will produce 2,000 loaves of bread an hour, or as many as 50,000 loaves a day.

Initial products to be churned out by the facility include Gardenia’s Classic White Bread, High Fiber Wheat Bread and some flavored loaves.

The company has a plant in Laguna, which manufactures bread products for Gardenia customers in Luzon. This facility, however, cannot serve the needs of customers outside the main island due to quality and freshness issues.

Gardenia president Simplicio Umali Jr. related that transporting products from the company’s Laguna plant to Visayas or Mindanao customers would simply take too long and would compromise the freshness of the bread products.

The only way for Gardenia products to reach consumers in Visayas and Mindanao, he said, was for the company to put up a plant in the area.

He added that the decision to put up a manufacturing facility in Cebu was prompted by numerous inquiries by groceries and other potential distributors about the possibility of bringing Gardenia products to the province.

The Cebu plant was expected to generate around P100 million in sales on the first year of operations. Revenue should go up to around P350 million over the medium term and to as much as P500 million a year over the long term.

The return on investment on the new plant, however, was not expected until after four years, Umali said, since bread manufacturing operations are capital intensive.

The Cebu plant will register a net income only on its second year of operations, he said.

Depending on the take-up of Gardenia products in Cebu, the nearby province of Bohol, and Mindanao markets Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Iligan and Malaybalay, he said the company was also considering putting up another plant in Davao.

^ welcome home, my favorite Gardenia (read: banana walnut) hehe :)

‘No hotel shortage’ in Cebu for Sinulog

By Aileen Garcia-Yap
Cebu Daily News
First Posted 06:57:00 01/04/2011

With the Sinulog festival less than two weeks away, hotels and pension houses in Cebu City reported fully booked accomodations for January 16.

Marco Protactio, president of the Hotel, Resort and Restaurant Association of Cebu (HRRAC), said most of their members already declared full bookings for the Sinulog celebrations.

He said this did not raise any alarm over a shortage in rooms.

He said there is nothing to worry about since several new hotels opened last year like the Raddison Blu and Hotel Elizabeth.

High occupancy should be expected even after January, he added.

“Aside from the Sinulog, we have the Chinese New Year, which adds up to the high occupancy in our hotels in Cebu," said Protacio of the Waterfront Hotel in Lahug.

This trend will extend until February for Valentine’s Day and March graduations, the HRRAC president said.

With the new hotels, around a thousand more rooms were added this year compared to last year's, Protacio said.

Department of Tourism (DOT) Regional Tourism Officer Red Gonzales confirmed Protacio's statement.

"As of March 2009, we have 8,220 rooms, and we know that these increased with the opening of new hotels," Gonzales said.

There were 87,440 domestic travellers and 64,396 foreign tourists in Cebu during last year's Sinulog, based on DOT data.

DOT Officer in Charge Rowena Montecillo said tourist arrivals for Sinulog 2011 is expected to increase.

She said she’s confident to meet the DOT’s national goal of 3.3 million tourist arrivals throughout the country this year, with Cebu contributing more than 20 percent.

Housing, condotel projects set in Minglanilla, Mandaue

Cebu Daily News

Three residential projects, including a condotel property, all worth P50 million will be launched in Mandaue City and Minglanilla town this year.

Shanna Louise T. Lopez, executive vice president of Nexus Real Estate Corporation told CEBU DAILY NEWS that two horizontal projects will be launched under Nexus Real Estate Corp. along with a condotel property under their accommodations firm Pacific Pensionne.

“We plan to launch Kamalaya II Residences located in Tunghaan, Minglanilla by first quarter of this year,” Lopez said.

She said the housing project will have 48 units priced at P1.5 million to P3 million.

“Each unit will also have a minimum of 100 square meters each,” she said.

A second horizontal project dubbed Maple Point will be built in Paknaan, Mandaue City near the North Reclamation Area (NRA).

“The concept behind Maple Point is like 'come and live the sweet life,” she said.

Lopez said their target market is the middle class, which they expect to experience continued robust growth.

“These will be startup families who want to have their own home and I think that market is also very competitive,” she said.

Lopez said their success with Pacific Pensionne made them consider investing in another property that will cater to the accommodations industry.

“We are thinking of a condotel propety maybe. Right now we are still making the plans as to how the property will look like, the number of units, the name of the property and more,” she said.

Overall, Lopez said they expect the real estate industry's growth to continue owing to the rising Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry, tourism and remittances from overseas workers.

why blame it to us... Blame it to the Americans and Spanish why they colonized us. It's not Filipinos fault nganong Amerakinized og Hespanikized kaayo ta kay it's part of our history.

After all nganong wala man nag idolize ang mga Malaysians sa mga American products it is bec kay wala sila kasuway og American way of lifestyle unlike us nga halos na brainwash tang mga Pinoy pag settle sa Amercicans diri sa ato.:yes:

And if na colonize man ang Malaysia, pag hawa sa mga colonizers dali ra sad kaayo napapas tungod kay connected man sila sa Asian continent, nabalik rasad ilang Asian practice unlike us nga island nation pag hawa sa mga Americans, wala nay laing Asian majority nga naka replace pag settle sa Pilipinas maong nagpabilin hangtod karon ang atong pagka Americanized...:yes:

Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but Franco is not Cebuano... They are a Rock Supergroup with Cebuano talents from Urbandub. Others include members from Queso and Parokya ni Edgar. Their Vocalist, Franco Reyes, is a Filipino-American from the US Band Inyo.

If you want to hear more indie, head up to The Outpost at Nivel Hills.

On the other hand, Frank was the orignial Cebuano band of Franco Reyes.

Other notable Cebuano Rock talents that have hit the National scene include Faspitch, Urbandub and Sheila and the Insects to name a few... :)

That's not Cebu. That's Baguio.

Franco is Cebuano...its after college that he went to america and form his own band there...he has a band when he was still in college here in Cebu, it was called Frank...we have common friends in USC-TC...oki oki he is proud Cebuano!!!! Bisaya nang dako!

he is the eddie vedder (vocals sa Pearl Jam) in Cebu sa among kapanahonan!

^^ ohhh i see. thanks for the info! your close with this franco band sir?! payter gyud kaayo manukar! :rock::rock::rock:

No bai, hehe... Hilig lang nako... tukar-tukar sad sa una. I've met a couple of them though when they have gigs in Manila. Mga taga Faspitch cool kaayo, mga buotan.

I first heard of Franco katong Frank pa sila, Cebu-based alternative band... my bro told me about them.

If you look at the talent within Cebu relative to the size, it's pretty much Amazing... you just have to dig deep to find the really good ones.

On another note, in hopes of promoting our language through music, hopefully naa'y musunod sa Missing Filemon and probabbly Smooth Friction and Ambassadors as well, nga musuwat ug tarong nga Cebuano Rock. Some of their songs are like classics.

I think I succinctly explained their roots from Frank in my original post.

but aren't most if not all of franco's songs are made by frank reyes himself (a cebuano) and if im not mistaken almost all were already played and recorded by frank reyes's previous bands like frank and inyo...

safe to say that franco's songs are cebuano creations. :cheers:

Frank was Cebuano, Franco is not entirely :)

I think I succinctly explained their roots from Frank in my original post.

wala na siyay american nga dugo bai...hing migrate lang nag america in the late 90's pero diri na Cebu gadako

^^Oh thanks for that. But by Filipino-American I meant Nationality, not Race/Ethnicity/Blood

Guys, my intentions were just to give some info to make things clear to people before they jump to any conclusions and hasty generalizations, especially when talking with other people. :)

A band takes more than just one person. And do note that Frank nor Inyo was nowhere near Franco's success now.

You may say that they are Cebuano, but one has to admit that they are a supergroup from different bands formed after most of them have gained much success.

^^
but still franco reyes, who write most of the songs and is the leader of the group, is so so so Cebuano! gaabot pa intawn mi ana motukar silas USC-TC sa una nga Frank pa ila band..bisaya kayo na motabi! late na kayo ang band nga Inyo, ato nang paglarga niyag america, and he is already franco that the cebuanos know even wala pa siya anang bandaha..diri na siya na mold sa Cebu....even nga tua na siyag america, gasige na og uli diri Cebu...mura ra gud nag pareho anang uban diri forumer sa SSC nga hing-abroad para manarbaho sa gawas...

What about Cueshé, the Cebuano band that made it big in Manila? All members are 100% pure Sugboanon. You guys should be proud of them. :cheers:

^^
eeeeew! not for cebuano taste! show band is a no no for Cebu. di na mokagat diri kung naa man galing pipila ra, katong mga kabaduyan og walay ayong taste sa music! haha !!! sa ubang lugar ai, sikat kayo na! hahaha!

^^ So does that make a multi-ethnic superband like Franco better than a 100% all-Cebuano act like Cueshé? Listening to its music, Cueshé doesn't sound like a showband.

^^we're proud of them alright...they use to be a cool band but when they start singing tagalog song, they start to sound baduy and curny not cool anymore.:)

Sorry bai ah, pero kanang naa pa ko diha, nagwonder man ko nganu sige sya patukar sa mga radio stations sa Sugbu if dili jud sya sikat kaayo diha or not worth to be listened to? Lahi ra guro ila target market.

I remember Gabby Alipe of Urbandub said, "the issue in this country is that when we dream to reach big, we have to bow down under Manila's influence." Its also like the principles that govern between indie acts versus pop.

It still depends on how people create their work and how we appreciate it. I don't think the general Cebuano populace doesn't accept/appreciate Cueshé as baduy jud. If baduy or "novelty" doesn't exist in Cebu, then we shouldn't have novelty radio stations who are raking ads because of their popular mass appeal.

Cebu, I believe, has different markets with different tastes as well.

for ur information there are a lot of good new music karon gawas anang mga kabaduyan and shallow music sa FM, dig in to many new indie pop and classic acts and u will know why these mainstream shallow OPM bands and artist (nga sige rag revive og sikat nga kanta) are nothing but rubbish...ehehe

^^ Wa to mag-decline bay. Pag giingon man gyud pop, pangmasa gyud na kaniadto ug karon. Kung arang-arang ang taste nimo, baduy gyud nang pop. Pero naa sad maayo nga pop acts nga dawat sa tanang socio-economic classes.

I invite you all to look into indiepop music (dili indie kay daghan ang nagpa-indie indie karong mga fake). Cebu used to have this indiepop group called Robot Balloons but after that, I still have to hear another one from your place. :)

yeah i love robot ballons! kita ko ana nila perform as USC-TC sa una.. of course i love the satire, metaphorical, introspective, electronic reggae mixed with cebuano novelty style of max surban and yoyoy, of the band Junior Kilat...and of course the eraserheads of Cebu, Missing filemon... hehe! i also like smooth friction.. and please check the disco assassins, the vocals is my friend, they are one great crazy crazy band, writing music mostly about society and government's shit! hehe

^^ Nindot Robot Balloons 'no? :okay: Ibog kaayo ko sa vocalist apil na sa Feminine Mode ug Medusa Taciturn. Nibalik naman gyud ang sound nila thru indie-pop. Dunay indie-pop show sa NU107, hopefully this kind of music will gain ground in Cebu the way it does in Manila now. :cheers:

and its good that NU107 is based in Cebu already, nawagtang naman ang NU107 Manila..good for local indie bands, they could now get easier access and exposure to many listeners in the whole country...Cebu could be the center of filipino indie pop and Creative OPM music.. wala namay station sa manila that is supportive to emerging OPM indie pop and rock talents...

^^ Yup yup yup. Now is the time for Visayan rockers of all genres to shine even more. :cheers:

"People born in the Year of the Rabbit are reasonably friendly individuals who enjoy the company of a group of good friends. They are good teachers, counselors, communicators, but also need their own space."

Years of the Rabbit are: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011.

‘No hotel shortage’ in Cebu for Sinulog

By Aileen Garcia-Yap
Cebu Daily News
First Posted 06:57:00 01/04/2011

With the Sinulog festival less than two weeks away, hotels and pension houses in Cebu City reported fully booked accomodations for January 16.

Marco Protactio, president of the Hotel, Resort and Restaurant Association of Cebu (HRRAC), said most of their members already declared full bookings for the Sinulog celebrations.

He said this did not raise any alarm over a shortage in rooms.

He said there is nothing to worry about since several new hotels opened last year like the Raddison Blu and Hotel Elizabeth.

High occupancy should be expected even after January, he added.

“Aside from the Sinulog, we have the Chinese New Year, which adds up to the high occupancy in our hotels in Cebu," said Protacio of the Waterfront Hotel in Lahug.

This trend will extend until February for Valentine’s Day and March graduations, the HRRAC president said.

With the new hotels, around a thousand more rooms were added this year compared to last year's, Protacio said.

Department of Tourism (DOT) Regional Tourism Officer Red Gonzales confirmed Protacio's statement.

"As of March 2009, we have 8,220 rooms, and we know that these increased with the opening of new hotels," Gonzales said.

There were 87,440 domestic travellers and 64,396 foreign tourists in Cebu during last year's Sinulog, based on DOT data.

DOT Officer in Charge Rowena Montecillo said tourist arrivals for Sinulog 2011 is expected to increase.

She said she’s confident to meet the DOT’s national goal of 3.3 million tourist arrivals throughout the country this year, with Cebu contributing more than 20 percent.


Fully booked na lagi....huhuh....good thing na we have a friend..in times like this call a friend...:lol::lol::lol::lol:... Ready akong mga ti-il sa long walk or shall I say whole day walk sa Cebu City....pagka sadya...... Magpatunga na pud ko sa Kalsada pa picture....la bitaw nakaila nako.. :lol::lol::lol:

Despite moratorium, City allowed some
Banilad-Talamban projects to proceed
Sunstar Online
Jujemay G. Awit and Elly T. Bolonos
Wednesday, January 5, 2011

FOR NOW, the moratorium on development along the Banilad-Talamban corridor stands. Some Cebu City officials would like to keep it that way, because of the worsening traffic in the northern part of the city. But at least two developments—one belonging to a bank and another to a group of companies with a property development arm—are being pursued in the Banilad area despite the moratorium. Quoting the receiving section of the City Planning and Development Office, acting planning officer Maria Concepcion Encabo said that once the moratorium took effect, applicants went straight to then mayor Tomas Osmeña.

“Unya siya ra ang mo-approve or mo-disapprove (It was his call whether to approve or disapprove),” Encabo said. She added they haven’t received any locational clearance application for the Banilad-Talamban area, since Mayor Michael Rama assumed office last July.

Osmeña, now the south district congressman, insisted the Ciudad project of the Provincial Government was not a good idea from the start, but he was willing to make a deal with the Capitol for the sake of thousands of families occupying Province-owned land.

Vice Mayor Joy Augustus Young said he agrees with the moratorium, until the City can come up with a better proposal to solve the traffic. Councilor Jose Daluz III said the moratorium was ordered based on the report of the Cebu City Traffic Operations Management (Citom) of the worsening traffic in the area.

It wasn’t because of the botched land exchange deal between the City Government and the Province, he said. “We have to identify first where else we can move for development. Imagine if (Ban-Tal corridor) was still open (for development), traffic would be worse,” said Young. If traffic in the Banilad-Talamban corridor will worsen because of continued commercial development, far-flung barangays cannot develop their properties anymore, Osmeña said. The former mayor admitted he was willing to support the development of Capitol’s Ciudad project because of the proposed land swap deal.

Ciudad

City Hall had proposed to give a part of the City’s property in the North Reclamation Area so informal settlers of the Province-owned lots in the City can finally own the properties they have claimed for more than a decade.

(The Province had extended these occupants the chance to pay for their lots, but most have yet to complete their payments.)

When Osmeña was mayor, the City Council also enacted an ordinance that prohibited the commercialization of all government-owned lots in the Banilad-Talamban area.

This includes the site of the proposed Ciudad project in Banilad. The proposed P1.2-billion multi-use facility has been stalled since 2007, when the City Government refused to issue permits to the Capitol.

Right across it, however, is an ongoing construction within the Aboitiz property. Osmeña admitted he allowed the Aboitiz group to construct a building, but limited it to a three-story structure.

“Limited ra, atong gihatagan ug konsiderasyon kay dili man mall ilang tukuron, mobayad pud sila ug buhis. Ang probinsya mall gyud ilang tukuron unya dili pud sila mubayad ug buhis (We gave them some consideration because they’re not building a mall and they pay taxes. The Province intends to build a mall and it doesn’t pay the City any taxes),” Osmeña said.

He also reportedly allowed a new subdivision in Talamban, even after the City implemented the moratorium. AboitizLand, Inc. secured the locational clearance for their building in Barangay Banilad. A locational clearance from the City Planning and Development Office is a pre-requisite in applying for a building permit.

Permit, fees

Records at the Office of the Building Official (OBO) show Aboitiz applied for a building permit last Nov. 23, and it is still pending at the structural and architectural section. Banco de Oro along Gov. Cuenco Ave. in Banilad has also applied for a building permit for its interior construction.

Acting Building Official Josefa Ylanan said, though, the construction may proceed while the application is still being processed. “If everything is cleared, we will let them pay the corresponding surcharge, which is 100 percent of the usual building fee, and then issue the corresponding building permit,” Ylanan said. The building fee is P24 per square meter, but OBO will double it if the structure is constructed without first securing the permit.
The Provincial Government has an option to re-submit their application for a locational clearance under the Rama administration. Ylanan said if the Capitol can secure a locational clearance, then they will also process the building permit for its Ciudad project.

Cebu railway office closed
Wednesday, January 5, 2011

CEBU CITY -- The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) suspended the operation of the Cebu Railway Project Office (CRPO), effective last December 31, 2010.

It instructed General Manager Nigel Paul Villarete of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) to take custody of the equipment in the office, set up in 2009 in preparation for the construction of the Light Rail Transit (LRT).

"We would like to reiterate our verbal request to transfer the office equipment of the CRPO to MCIAA for storage purposes, as the latter's operation is suspended effective December 31, 2010," read the letter from Glicerio V. Sikat, DOTC undersecretary for rail transport and civil aviation.

The letter, dated December 22, was addressed to Villarete, who said that maybe the reason the CRPO equipment will be entrusted with MCIAA is that both the authority and the CRPO report to the same undersecretary in the DOTC.

The CRPO holds office in Crown Plaza at the North Reclamation Area, Cebu City.

The CRPO was established in 2009 by Guiling Maondiong, then DOTC undersecretary for railway and civil aviation, who conducted a public hearing in August 2009 on the railway project in Cebu as proposed by the AMA Group of Companies.

The railway project has drawn support from Representatives Eduardo Gullas (first district), Pablo Garcia (second district), Pablo John Garcia (third district) and Benhur Salimbangon (fourth district). It will serve Mandaue City, Cebu City and Talisay City, and will stretch from Talisay City to Dalaguete town in southern Cebu and from Mandaue City to Catmon in the north.

One incident that stood out in that hearing was when then-Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña (now congressman of Cebu City's south district) opposed the LRT project and called DOTC officials "lousy" urban planners.

Osmeña, together with Villarete who was then the Cebu City Planning and Development officer, is advocating for the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) instead of a rail system.

Villarete said the DOTC discussed last month the BRT proposal with World Bank representatives, who committed to provide financial assistance for the feasibility study.

In the meantime, Villarete said he is proposing to the Korean International Cooperation Agency to consider providing funds for BRT-ready transport that will link the airport to the cities of Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu.

BRT-ready means the proper agency will acquire buses, which can be used in any route but will be compatible with the BRT system once the infrastructure is in place. (EOB/Sun.Star Cebu)

^^ they have to because it's only a waste of government funds to maintain that office...Cebu will have BRT anyway...having LRT in Cebu is no longer imminent...i thought so...

Ayala Center Cebu Phase 2-B Expansion to commence within 1Q 2011 (http://www.cebudaily.com/ayala-center-cebu-phase-2b-expansion-commence-1q-2011/)

Cebuanos will have to watch out for the entry of some luxury brands as Ayala Center Cebu expands once more this year.

Francis O. Monera, president of Ayala Land affiliate Cebu Holdings, Inc., said during the opening of the Balik Cebu 2011 Booth that the construction of the much-awaited final phase of Ayala Center Cebu will start as soon as the PUV Terminal is already operational at its new location, fronting the West Entrance, within the first quarter of this year.

To complete the full-circle design of the mall, Phase 2-B will be seamlessly connected to the Main Mall and The Terraces. Estimated to cost P2.8 billion pesos, the development will feature among others, a new location for Rustan’s Department Store, an IT Zone and luxury brands. With a gross leasable area of more than 36,000 square meters, the expansion will be about 1/3 the size of the existing mall. Two words that Mr. Monera used to describe the upcoming development are “Beautiful!” and “Major-Major!”

Ayala Center Cebu’s Phase 2-B is expected to provide more choices to the ever-dynamic Cebu market. The most recent addition to the mall is the “Services Hub” at the 4th Level of Paseo Ciudad, right beside Fitness First. The one-stop zone has outlets for banking, payments, travel bookings, services and others. The Services Hub is directly connected to the 3rd Level (Toys Section) of Metro Department Store.

City rejects SRP investors (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=645730&publicationSubCategoryId=107)
By Jessica Ann R. Pareja (The Freeman)
Updated January 06, 2011

CEBU, Philippines - More investors are interested to buy lots at the South Road Properties but they have been told to wait. This has nothing to do about politics though, but business.

Cebu City South District Rep. Tomas Osmeña told the press that many approached him to ask assistance to buy a portion of the SRP, but he had to turn them down.

Even the city government’s good friend and Osmeña’s fellow Rep. Manny Pacquiao had to be rejected.

“Stop selling SRP for meantime, that’s always been my recommendation. So there’s not much to do about marketing right now,” Osmeña said.

Aside from Pacquiao, Ayala and Robinson’s also expressed interest to own lots at the SRP. Robinson’s initially wants 30 hectares while Ayala wants 40 hectares, Osmeña said.

The interested investors were told to wait until Filinvest Land Inc. and SM Prime Holdings would finish construction in three to four years.

Osmeña said, “By then, the value of the lot at SRP will double or maybe triple. What’s the point of selling it now then put the money in the bank where the city will just earn five percent a year?”

The city sold SRP lots to Filinvest and SM at not less than P15,000 per square meter.

“The SRP is in good hands,” he assured the public.

Before Filinvest even started construction, Osmeña said that the city has earned more than P30 million from the three buildings that Filinvest has sold.

The city gets a share of P70,000 to P80,000 per unit that Filinvest will be able to sell.

Each building of Filinvest will have 150 units. Three of the 40 buildings that the developer intends to build there have already been sold.

Osmeña said that in the future, he has recommended for the city to screen the investors that will be allowed to own a lot at the SRP.

He said that they do not want to sell lots that are not intended for anything that will contribute to the economy, because they intend to make a SRP the center of economic activity of the city.

In February last year, the city government entered into a sale and joint venture agreement with the Filinvest to develop a 50.6 hectare area at the SRP.

Last year SM Prime holdings sealed a P2.7 billion deal to buy 30.4 hectares at the SRP where it planned to build a convention facility, a shopping mall, a school, hospitals and high rise residential condominiums in the next five years.

Last November, Filinvest launched its Medium Rise Building project which will be built within the 40-hectare covered by the joint venture.

The development called the Amalfi Oasis is part of the Citta de Mare (City by the Sea) which all in call will include a commercial retail complex, a sand-shored promenade or white beach, a hypermart, a church and a home depot complex. – THE FREEMAN
