nice shots bai!!! sosyal kaayo tan-awon sa? hehehe

^^ i think mao na bai...wala siguro gi-approve ni Tommy nga ibutang tupad sa ASEAN countdown timer kay basin dili maayo tan-awon kun na-a sa Fuente Osmena Circle...

In turn, the three organizations are asking for a five-year free-space-rent in Fuente after the summit. They will use it to advertise their products and projects. However, they promised to allot 15 minutes of each hour for local government announcements, traffic updates, weather reports and maybe some random facts about Cebu.

Actually the Cebu Provincial Jail and the new BBRC are just beside each other. It's actually not accessible in the sense that there's no major road there. No jeepneys or taxis pass by that area too..

When the Cebu Provincial Jail was still built, there were still no houses or subdivisions below it. :bash: The provincial government should have just bought the "entire" mountain so that they can totally secure the jail, hehe. It would have even been better if the jail was in Shell Island at the Mactan Straight ala Alcatraz although I guess this would be costly on the part of the city government especially when transporting the inmates to/from the jail especially during court hearings. Anyway the jail is kind of modern and clean, it's got automatic doors and cameras if I'm not mistaken.


The gray structure to the left of the CPRDC is the new BBRC which was still under construction when this photo was taken.

it looks like a hotel actually..

^^ as of now, Cebu has 3 new jail facilities:

- 1st is the OPERATION SECOND CHANCE for minor offenders which is the only one in the Philippines - a project of the Cebu City Government

- 2nd is the CEBU PROVINCIAL JAIL (the one shown on the pic)

- 3rd is the controversial BAGONG BUHAY REHABILITATION CENTER

There's a new tambayan in Town.. It's GV HOTEL, 7th Floor (main hotel lobby with balcony and outdoor coffee shoppe). The hotel workers are very hospitable and accommodating.

Food is very, very cheap compared with Ayala FGU and the view is far more nicer too! (Coffee is only P35, Clubhouse Sandwich at P75.)



@Toyboy

You're statement "Wag Masyadong Bilib sa Sarili" is actually not applicable in this situation. The reason why the ASEAN Summit was postponed was due to a typhoon and NOT DUE to a mishandling or screwing up of the Cebuanos on the event. It was something that was out of our control since it's mother nature. Aside from that, the ASEAN Summit postponement was decided by the National Government after consultations with ASEAN member countries. :okay:

"Wag Masyadong Bilib sa Sarili" would only apply if the ASEAN Summit was postponed because the CICC perhaps collapsed or that the Cebu Province screwed it up (like the local organizing committee didn't practice properly for the cultural shows, or food was not delivered thus the summit was cancelled, etc.). :okay:

^^ mmhh.. some other forumer just can't seem to forget the fact that untoward reactions or replies can't be avoided to someone who brings negative energy in a bizarre way. just a simple principle in sociology or psychology perhaps. you can be called abnormal once you really can't seem to jive with social groups and remember that one of the basic needs of man is not only the physical aspects but also social ones. mmhh, don't blame me for saying this so,.

anyway..

bai ArnoLd, i received your text a while ago but i wasn't able to reply as we were having classes that time. our schedule for TTH ends at 730pm. hihi.. but i missed a spectacular chance of viewing cebu from a nice angle though. and it's just now that i realized that the one being constructed near the newly-built Watsons was the LCD screen.. and i thought it was still part of Watsons.. hehe :D

when i was checking the Lower House website, i found this report.. Any update about this? Matutuloy ba to?

In the same meeting, the Committee also approved three bills creating the provinces of Cebu Occidental, Cebu del Norte and Cebu del Sur from the present province of Cebu.

These measures are HBs 3632, 3657 and 3733 authored by Cebu Reps. Antonio Yapha Jr., Clavel Martinez and Simeon Kintanar, respectively.

The measures were initially objected to by Rep. Antonio Cuenco (2nd District, Cebu City) on the ground that the proposals should first be heard by the people of Cebu before they are passed at the Committee level. He said he has been pushing for the conduct of a public hearing in Cebu on the matter.

Rep. Martinez, however, argued that the people of Cebu will be given the chance to be heard when these proposals are presented to them in a plebiscite.

guys, sowi la ko kauban sa gv hotel...naa man mi duwa (volleyball) sa labangon gud...bawi ko next time.

nadayon gyud diay ang LED? yehey... i posted the article i read sa akong multiply once. i was ecstatic about the idea.. hehe

Metro Cebu Uptown Jaycees and two private firms have proposed to Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmena to put up a P10M outdoor wide screen Light-Emitting Diode (LED) which could run 18 hours of video nonstop in the Heart of Cebu. The project, just in time for the ASEAN Summit, will feature government projects, local news, traffic and weather updates and more. The video billboard, which will be placed beside the ASEAN countdown board will be the first in Cebu and the biggest in the entire country.

In turn, the three organizations are asking for a five-year free-space-rent in Fuente after the summit. They will use it to advertise their products and projects. However, they promised to allot 15 minutes of each hour for local government announcements, traffic updates, weather reports and maybe some random facts about Cebu.

I think that this is the biggest investment of JG Summit in Cebu even if JG Summit wholly owned affiliate Robinson's Land Corporation will build the Robinson's Galleria Cebu in 2008. Still, nothing beats an investment that will fly the name of Cebu around the Philippines and into the world.

Time will come that Cebu Pacific will become 1 of the biggest airline in Asia and even in the world. First it will confront PAL head to head, then surpass it to welcome itself in the biggest arena of the international aviation industry.

Thanks to JG. For me, this is his biggest investment ever!

Carrying and flying a brand called CEBU!

Only the Philippines and Cebu flies the domestic and international routes. And you know who carries them because they carry you too when you fly.

cge kay akoy kontrabida :lol:

I have designed roadways, highways, grade separations (crest or sag vertical curves) in Los Angeles and the first mistake I noticed right away on the designs of skyways or bridges in Cebu are the noticeable grade breaks. It looked liked they didn't use vertical curve calculations in figuring out their elevations. Grade changes are not smooth. A lot of times because of the huge grade breaks it causes vehicles to hop when running at a certain faster speed. One rainy day in SRP I was following a motorcycle operator he was just probably running at 50 kph when his bike hopped (caused by grade break) on the slippery road, he braked, skidded and got into an accident. When the design speed of a roadway gets faster the grade breaks should be lesser. In the case of SRP, it should have been less than 0.5% grade break. Ang banking naman we call it superelevation it can be designed properly depending again on the design speed and type of pavement along the horizontal curve, the higher the design speed on a tight curve will require superelevation to prevent the vehicle from swerving or losing traction.

Siso humbles Korean, nabs 4th singles gold
Sun-Star Online (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/ceb/2006/12/13/sports/siso.humbles.korean.nabs.4th.singles.gold..html)
Wednesday, December 13, 2006

WHILE RP’s top bet in the Asian Games bowed to a Korean, Cebu’s future international star, Sally Mae Siso defeated a Korean to collar the title in the Langkawi International Junior Tennis Championships and complete a sweep in the Four-part tennis circuit, which wrapped up yesterday at the Langkawi Sports Center in Malaysia.

Siso outclassed Choi Jihee of Korea, 6-2, 7-5 to snatch her fourth gold medal in the singles event of the Girls 12 class, which will be added to her brimming coffers. She has a total medal haul of four golds and two silvers in the tennis circuit, which ran for almost a month.

After Siso won the opening set, the Korean netter fought hard to challenge Siso. Despite lagging behind, 3-1, Jihee rallied hard to even the game 5-all.

Siso had to survive five deuces before finally getting past the deadlock and taking the driver’s seat for good, as the Korean eventually succumbed to Siso’s powerful forehand cross-court strokes.

The other day, Siso lost in the doubles final, after her Korean pair, allegedly refused to play well against her compatriots.

The three-weeklong rivalry between the Filipinos and the Koreans ended yesterday with the Korean coaching staff treating the Filipino coaches and chaperons to iced coffee.

Meanwhile, Kim Saraza became automatic champion as he was declared winner in the Boys 14 division after his Korean opponent in the final caught the early flight back home. The other medalists in Langkawi are Cebuano Vince Mark Tabotabo and Jurence Mendoza, who settled for a bronze in the doubles event of the Boys 10 class, while Dheo Talatayod also had a bronze in the singles of the Boys 12.

The team will be taking the early bus back to Kuala Lumpur today, where they will stay overnight before flying back home on Thursday morning.

With Sally and her mother in Malaysia, his siblings Bernardine Niño and Sallydine, also tennis standouts are left here in the care a family friend. (MCB)

Exec sees 18% rise in tourist arrivals in Cebu
By Kathy Navarro
Cebu Daily News (http://globalnation.inquirer.net/cebudailynews/enterprise/view_article.php?article_id=38054)
Last updated 12:22pm (Mla time) 12/13/2006


Despite the threats of terrorism and travel advisories from other countries, tourism officials expect an increase of 18 percent on tourist arrivals in Cebu.

Patria Aurora Roa, director of the Department of Tourism in Central Visayas (DOT-7), said Tuesday she expected an increase of even more than 18 percent of the tourist arrivals for this year, citing last year's number of tourists that came to Cebu.

Roa said there were 450,000 foreign tourists and 1.1 million local tourists in Cebu last year.

Citing DOT records, Roa noted an 18 percent increase of tourist arrivals as of October this year.

“It is still consistent,” she said at the 888 Media Forum on Tuesday at The Port Seafood Restaurant.

She also included the 800 members of national and international media who were here to cover the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit, which was postponed to January.

They left last Sunday after the preliminary meetings of the foreign ministers.

Roa admitted though that the postponement of the Summit to January next year instead of this week had caused “collateral damage” to the hotels in Cebu.

The hotels turned down clients to accommodate the delegates of the ASEAN Summit.

Since the summit did not push through, the hotels lost their possible clients.

“Gibalikan to nila ang mga unconfirmed ug mga gibalibaran (They got back at the clients who have not confirmed yet and whom they denied),” she said. Some hotels offered promo rates.

Roa said the reservations made after the ASEAN Summit had not been canceled despite the travel advisories from the four countries, warning threats of terror attacks.

basta. tan-awa ninyo bai!. Sossy kaayo tan-awon. hehe

sa flickr kaha..wa pa?

ey guys, have you observed na naa lagi murag mga satellite dish sa mga traffic signals in most intersections karon sa sugbo, nakapatong gyud siya mismo sa traffic light. can somebody explain ug unsa ni sila? i will take a pic siguro ugma para maklaro gyud. naa na pud surveillance camera sa may mactan bridge, its not on a very discreet area mao na maklaro gyud siya. one of my workmates nakuyawan sad sa surveillance camera sa may sm, kay gisundan sad daw gyud sa camera ilang sakyanan :lol: the camera was trained on them man gud daw.

^^

Yeah, those satellite dish transmit images from the camera to a base station perhaps.

I also saw one at the intersection in SM City just a while ago.

^^

What's a grade break Butch?

Anyways, I've noticed something at the second Mactan bridge. The one with metal plates on the road that connect two sections of the bridge together? What's the term for that? I was actually driving at around 60km/hour one day and it looked as if my tire would explode when I passed by that metal plate thing.

If you're also at the bridge park below, you can actually hear a thug everytime a vehicle passes by at that portion of the bridge.

Hehe..

Hehe. Finally got pics of the LED screen.

The screen is still being fixed/formatted/set, I guess.

Here are a few quick shots.

The word "Art" can be seen at the lower left side of the screen because I think it was set on a ZOOM mode. LOL

Anyways, Im so happy, and proud na pud.

The first LED in cebu. Hope more to come sa fuente area! hehe

may nabasa akong news article a few months ago na maglalagay din sila ng ganito near the country mall. i would have preferred it sa fuente pa rin sana or sa may downtown near gaisano metro. pero the more areas sa cebu na merong ganyan, the better din naman. :banana:

^^ me too bai, i was thinking na business in the Fuente area is slowing down...pero, thanks to the King Family to have started reviving Cebu's central business district

I don't have any idea about that. We can't also speculate that the city lost or saved money from it. Maybe there's still another reason or purpose for it because the Mayor said that it's going to be "futuristic." :dunno:

Anyway, there are sidewalks with interlocking pavers already. The development of the SRP is still ongoing though. :okay:

Grade break is the algebraic difference of the slope of two planes intersecting each other. Let say if one plane has a slope of 4% and the intersecting plane has 7%, the grade break is 7-4=3%. For highways which has a design speed of 60kph a 3% grade break is too much, this difference will cause the vehicle to hop at 60kph. I sent you an email in your gmail acct of a grade break illustration.

In the case you have in Mactan bridge, that was probably the expansion joint or the hinge joint of the bridge you hit. They usually cover the joint with a 3/4" to 1" thick metal plate probably 10" to 12" wide bolted on one side to allow movement. Over time this metal plates needs to be re-secured because they become loose and they can be too loud (pop or bang sound) when ran over by the vehicles.

@D^Transporter

Anyways, I think I'm getting a nosebleed from the illustration you sent me by email.. Hehe.. Geez, was the illustration a top view or side view of the road? Hehe..

Here are some photos of the road. Does it have something to do with the surface of the road perhaps? The highway right now is currently being overlayed with a fresh layer of asphalt..

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b396/arnoldsa/skyscrapercity/SouthRoadProperties/IMG_1840.jpg
.:.

The accident that I saw happened where the concrete (rigid pavement) and asphalt (flexible pavement) met - joint of the bridge. I'm sure the next time you pass by there you'll notice the hop.

The illustration I sent you showed a cross section of a travelled lane - longitudinally like cutting a section along that solid white line striping.

^^

Aha, so that's it..

mata gihapon mo bai, kadlaon na man diha

@LCD sa Fuente ( nto LED)
It will add attaction sa fuente and will look classer environment..
Fuente Osmeña will be even more alive..

I never expect nga good view will be seen there..
' hope SSC guys will invite us there with free food and drinks..heheh :)

Chiong Hua Hospital is building a 10storey hospital in Banilad... across BAnilad Town Center... Chiong Hua decided to build a hospital because one of it's directors: Augusto Go- President of University of Cebu... wants to build a hospital near it's Banilad Campus and because of the need to build a modern hospital Uptown.... (according to the construction crew)...

hehehe... another good news for Cebu! ma.shock nsad ang uban nga way kalibotan... hehehe...

they are currently demolishing the structures in the area....

^^ it will cause more traffic on that area pero its still good news for Cebu.

^^ it will cause more traffic on that area pero its still good news for Cebu.

the city govt. will address it nman... hehehe....

build a skyway maybe... all the way to talamban...

any news on the proposed and scrapped megadome?

wala po... hope the Cebu City Govt. will build it @ SRP.... mas maganda kung dun nlang nila ilagay...

nice! bigger and better than in mercury drug-calamba! mas malaki din kaysa dun sa LaSalle! sana marami pa silang i set-up na ganyan

teka, LED screen or LCD screen?????

LCD is Liquid Crystal Display, LED is Light Emitting Diode.

I think LCD na kay multi-colored man. Pareha anang gigamit sa mga colored phone pero larger lang.

I also think LED displays are used in calculators, scrawlers (??, kanang gigamit sa sm ug ayala cinemas) countdown timers, like the one in fuente.

@abvillareal

i would have liked a taller fountain or tower (ala space needle in seattle) pero the fountain is already iconic to cebu man gud (naa gud siya sa 50 peso bill)... maybe some people would be not like it if they change it although it would be okay if they add lighting and "paths" for the water like this one:

The Whole-Year, Whole-World Island Finder: A Year of Island Hopping
by Brook Wilkinson Published July

Somewhere in the world, at any time of year, there are islands in their prime just waiting for you. But how to find them? Brook Wilkinson introduces 72 outstanding spots chosen by a team of seasoned travelers. Best of all, with the help of your map, you can dip into these treasures both by month and by location. You will also find the features that help shape the choice and information on where to stay, what to do, and how to get there. So take your pick—you can't go wrong

When it comes to islands, timing is everything. Less than ideal conditions can easily tip the scales toward disaster: We all know what it's like to scramble for beach space at a fully booked resort, or to be trapped inside a steamy bungalow during day-and-night downpours. But arriving just a week after the monsoons can mean lush landscapes, lean crowds, and low prices. With that in mind, we scoured every corner of the globe to find great islands to visit for each month of the year. We have chosen them for everything from ideal underwater conditions and authentic local festivals to wildlife sightings and shoulder-season steals. Some of our picks are quite surprising—the chilly Pacific Northwest in January? Use this planner to search by month, by region, or by the kind of island experience that until now has existed only in your dreams. Since arriving at these remote paradises isn't always easy, we also offer tips on how to get there. So here we go: around the world—and across the calendar—on seventy-two islands.

January
Cebu, Philippines
While somnolence reigns in towns like Carcar and Argao—where the sixteenth-century churches date back to the Spanish occupation—the third Sunday of the month marks the end of the Sinulog Festival, when drummers and wildly costumed dancers parade through Cebu City and fireworks cap nine days of cultural performances, shopping bazaars, and general revelry. January is the coolest and one of the driest months of the year on tropical Cebu, making it an ideal time to check in to the Alegre Beach Resort, which has 40 thatched-roof cabanas amid landscaped grounds adjacent to one of the island's most beautiful beaches (63-31-2311-1198; alegrebeachresort.com; doubles, $270–$355). The Shangri-La, on Mactan Island, a diving destination off Cebu's southeast coast, is a much larger resort that added a 100,000-square-foot spa last year (63-32-231-0288; shangri-la.com; doubles, $240–$280).
GETTING THERE: Cebu Pacific, one of Asia's new budget carriers, has eight flights daily from Manila starting at $18.

at first glance, i thought this is in Europe. :D nice shot!

I think that this is the biggest investment of JG Summit in Cebu even if JG Summit wholly owned affiliate Robinson's Land Corporation will build the Robinson's Galleria Cebu in 2008. Still, nothing beats an investment that will fly the name of Cebu around the Philippines and into the world.

Time will come that Cebu Pacific will become 1 of the biggest airline in Asia and even in the world. First it will confront PAL head to head, then surpass it to welcome itself in the biggest arena of the international aviation industry.

Thanks to JG. For me, this is his biggest investment ever!

Carrying and flying a brand called CEBU!

Only the Philippines and Cebu flies the domestic and international routes. And you know who carries them because they carry you too when you fly.

very well said. :okay:

because of Cebu Pacific, every Juan now has the chance to fly! hehe. although PAL ako usually sakyan everytime anha Cebu. Lol! if only i have the statistics right now, it really shows that more Filipinos are now flying, exponential difference when PAL was still monopolizing the industry. CEB promo seats (cheaper rates) are sold out na til the month of January. and Cebu Pacific is now number 1 in domestic flights, brand new aircrafts pa. hehehe

check this out

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rapid_transit_systems#Asia

...sometimes you can't get reliable information in Wikipedia...anyone can edit it or give wrong information.... i think Cebu LRT is not final yet...though, there was a news update about it but still, it's a long shot as of now...

I have designed roadways, highways, grade separations (crest or sag vertical curves) in Los Angeles and the first mistake I noticed right away on the designs of skyways or bridges in Cebu are the noticeable grade breaks. It looked liked they didn't use vertical curve calculations in figuring out their elevations. Grade changes are not smooth. A lot of times because of the huge grade breaks it causes vehicles to hop when running at a certain faster speed. One rainy day in SRP I was following a motorcycle operator he was just probably running at 50 kph when his bike hopped (caused by grade break) on the slippery road, he braked, skidded and got into an accident. When the design speed of a roadway gets faster the grade breaks should be lesser. In the case of SRP, it should have been less than 0.5% grade break. Ang banking naman we call it superelevation it can be designed properly depending again on the design speed and type of pavement along the horizontal curve, the higher the design speed on a tight curve will require superelevation to keep the vehicle from swerving or lose traction.

nice one... interesting! thanks for that. oh boy, i remember few years back when we used to travel up north (Daan Bantayan town) where we have an ancestral home. it's usually a 3-4 hour drive and it's like a roller coaster ride when my hands are on the wheel. in northern towns, the roads are smooth but the car hops more frequently as the speed accelerates. hehe

^^ it's a stand-alone store bai without a gasoline station nearby. the design more or less looks like the one in mambaling. the good thing about this mcdo is its location. it's very strategic jud matud pa sa news article in sunstar. aside from its being strategic, it's existence adds beauty to the colon area where before, hugaw kaayu did2 tanawun. karun, voila! hehe.. :) unfortunately, wala ko pic.. i think ang mga lakawboys naa. :D

I heard this early this morning on a radio commentary:

So, some residents at Barrio Luz have already fully paid for their lots, so it's impossible for the Capitol to kick their butts and sell these huge parcels of land to Ayala... How sad, as the commentary said, if these Barrio Luz lots would be sold to Ayala, the total area of CBP will be larger than that of Makati's Business District! Hmm, I hope the Provincial Government will think about paying these residents a reasonable amount :D

SINULOG GRAND PARADE
Champion dance group signs up for competition
By Doris C. Bongcac
Cebu Daily News (http://globalnation.inquirer.net/cebudailynews/news/view_article.php?article_id=38279)
Last updated 02:02pm (Mla time) 12/14/2006


BIG winners from last year’s Sinulog are among 10 groups that have signed up for the 2007 Sinulog Grand Parade on Jan. 21.

Five-time grand prize winner Tribu Sinanduloy of Tangub City, Misamis Oriental is competing again in the street dance contest along with the Pinta Flores group of San Carlos City.

Organizers are also expecting a newcomer in the parade, a contingent from Sorsogon province.

Ricky Ballesteros, director of the Sinulog executive committee, said he expects more to sign up with the bulk of participating contingents registering a few days before the Jan. 15 deadline.

Mindanao’s Tribu Sinanduloy was a sensation in last year’s parade with dancers in white gowns twirling in front of full-length mirrors evoking the Carnival de Cebu of the 1920s and 1930s.

The group will compete again in the Sinulog Based (SB) category and Pinta Flores in San Carlos City that listed for the Free Interpretation (FI) Category.

Other entries so far in the FI category include two contingents from Negros and contingents from Talisay City and barangay Guadalupe of Cebu City.

Other contingents in the SB level include Compostela town, Bayawan City in Negros, the Phil.-British Assurance Company and the Cebu Market Vendors Cooperative.

To be included in the list of dancing contingents are 20 winners in the Sinulog sa Kabataan sa Lalawigan and Sinulog sa barangay elementary and high school division.

Meanwhile, fiesta sidewalk stalls have started to come up along Osmeña Boulevard.

At least 60 stalls will be formally opened on Friday.

“All the stalls are already taken. We’ll have to open these to also earn,” he said.

They were supposed to open last Dec. 1 if not for the preparations for the ASEAN Summit which was eventually postponed.

To prevent the stalls from becoming an eyesore, Ballesteros said, vendors have to follow strict guidelines.

Since most of the stall renters are Muslim traders, Ballesteros said he would ask them to wear their native costume during the tour of ASEAN Summit spouses being organized by the First Ladies of Metro Cebu.

Non-Muslim traders will also be made to wear Filipiniana attire, he said.

^^ looks like not in the Philippines.. i thought it's an aussie city.

marco polo plaza hotel

@cebuano exultor, I think mao na na tanan list of Jollibee outlets dri sa Cebu province... pero after 1 month I'm sure madungagan nasad og daghan. Cebu now is becoming more vibrant, di na gud nako ma define akong axcitement sa different developments dri sa Cebu, lain lain lang klase nga excitement...char! hehe.

so this IT building, glass ba gihapon na nga green or just tiles or something???
Ok ra man iyang design, mur og fancy building.

Kanang red junction boxes near Sheraton hotel, pariha ba kaha na sila sa paint nga gigamit atbang sa Capitol nga dali ra ma fade or kato na nang giingon sa Citom nga rubberized type nga paint that will take more or less two years before ma fade.

Dili tingali na tinuod ang giingon sa mga pulis kay tan-awa ra ang picture...dili gyud siya pareho sa katong rubberized oval sa Abellana-Cebu City Sports Complex.

Ga-anam-anam na gani siya'g fade. Pareho ra na nga pintal ang gigamit dira sa gigamit sa Capitol junction galing ning-una to'g fade kay una man pud to gi-pintalan.

Dapat unta sundon nato ang padhimu ug mga junction boxes sa Tokyo, Japan...grade kaayo ang pagka-good quality and ilang pagpintura sa red (i.e. Shibuya Junction) unya naa ra pud sa sides...dili ang tibuok junction gyud ang ilang gi-pintalan.

I'm 100% confident that Metro Cebu has a big and rich enough market to support a medium-sized theme-park the size of Star City.

May unta kung masugdan na kanang Enchanted Kingdom Cebu para mahuman na akong pagka-bored diri...hehe.

korek..wa pa gyd tawoy theme park sa cebu...

Maski duha ra gud ka rollercoasters, a ferris wheel and/or observation wheel, a carousel, bumper cars, bumper boats, and horror house...ok na. :D

Btw, I too find Marco Polo Plaza classier than Waterfront Cebu City Hotel. I also find it grander in that it is situated on top of a hill. On the other hand, I wasn't so impressed at the quality of Waterfront's rooms and service-standards. Amenities-wise, though, I've got to go with Waterfront...what with Casino Filipino and dozens of ultra-fine dining restaurants and resto-bars.

When we went to Hong Kong Disneyland we stayed at the Disney Hollywood Hotel. It wasn't as large as Waterfront nor was it extremely beautiful from the exterior--imho, Waterfront looks way better from the outside--but from the inside it was like heaven. And the rooms were the best hotel rooms I've ever been to my whole life.

Hinuon, mas maayo na siguro ron ang mga furniture and stuff sa mga rooms sa Waterfront kay ila man kaha ning gi-refurbish/re-model in preperation for the 12th Asean Summit.

Btw, I really like the nighttime lighting of Waterfront. It's like Las Vegas, Mega-hotel or one of the skyscrapers of Hong Kong Harbour during performances of the "Symphony of Lights"

^^ those chandeliers in Marco Polo Plaza Hotel are made of Swarovski crystals

Really!!! Karon pa ko...

Good to know. Swarovski crystals are coveted luxury items...so, that means that the Marco Polo Hotel Group has full confidence of their investment here in Cebu because they spent a lot just for the renovation of the former Cebu Plaza Hotel.

Btw, I prefer food preferences at Marco Polo than Waterfront (although the latter has more options) because it is more SULIT. Sa Japanese restaurant sa Waterfront nga gipa-nganlan ug Mizu...you'll spend more than a thousand bucks to get a full-course meal...my GOD! Maka-sunog gyud sa bulsa! Meanwhile, sa Marco Polo, naa sila'y 500 per head nga lunch buffet. Mahal gihapon pero mas SULIT gyud siya maski i-compare nimo sa 700+ per head nga lunch/dinner buffet sa Cafe Uno, ang pinaka-barato nga kalan-an sa Waterfront cebu City Hotel aside from the Lobby Lounge.

Btw, pila man ka hotel rooms ang Marco Polo Plaza - Cebu? I've heard nga 560 ka buok rooms sa Waterfront Cebu City Hotel unya, supposedly, 450 ani gamitun sa mga delegates.

yes bai! here's some info from TravelSmart (http://www.travelsmart.net/article/10000149/):

What sets Marco Polo Plaza apart?

For 30 years the Marco Polo Hotel Group (MPHG) proved a formidable name in Asia as it successfully blends the region’s innate hospitality with Western innovation in serving its wide ranging hotel clientele from different parts of the world.

This summer, the country’s avid holiday-makers and business travelers will be in for a one-of-a-kind travel experience bearing the distinct Marco Polo touch as owner Asia Pacific Top Management International Resources Corporation (APTMIRC) readies to open the luxurious doors of Marco Polo Plaza Cebu, the first world-class urban resort hotel in the Queen City.

Nestling in Nivel Hills, overlooking the breathtaking Cebu City skyline, Marco Polo Plaza Cebu is deemed to become a key stopover with its first-rate amenities and impeccable service.

In an interview with general manager Hans Hauri, he expressed confidence Marco Polo Plaza will enjoy good patronage not only because of its unique offerings but also for its nostalgic charm.

"Well, the hotel seemed to exude a certain nostalgic appeal particularly to patrons of the former Cebu Plaza Hotel. Now as Marco Polo Plaza, we expect these guests to come and share the new experience with us," shares Hauri.

Distinct Marco Polo touch

Vibrant, contemporary, elegant yet comfortable are just some of the fine features of the newly-refurbished Marco Polo Plaza Cebu.

Boasting of 329 well-appointed guest rooms and suites, a show kitchen, handmade brick-oven wood fired at the Pool bar, specialty coffees and Tapas at the Coffeeshop and a stunning Swarovski-accented chandelier at its opulent lobby, Hauri believes Marco Polo Plaza’s edge is something more than meets the eye.

"We want our guests to remember the friendliness and effectiveness while staying in our hotel. We want them to know customer service here is without delays, that we are taking action on their every need or concern. At the same time, we offer a careful balance between meeting the needs of our high and low end markets."

Marco Polo Plaza Cebu lies on the sprawling 7.5 hectares of lush greenery complemented by facilities like a tennis court, a mango-shaped pool as well as a jogging trail. It serves as a choice meetings and events venue with 2,445 square meters of flexible meeting space including 12 function rooms and a Grand Ballroom that can accommodate up to 500 sitdown banquet guests.

Extending warmth of welcome accorded to its famous namesake, explorer Marco Polo, on his travel to the East, guests can expect a wonderful stay at Marco Polo Plaza Cebu.

^^ 329 rooms only, excluding the PLAZA CLUB downhill...i think they're still renovating that building which is next to the former Lantaw Restaurant

Pila man diay ka rooms ang naa sa PLAZA CLUB?

^^ ...di gyud ko makatubag ana....hehheheh! pero sauna, some rooms were being used for other functions like the defunct restobar REPUBLIC OF CEBU, the RACQUETS and the office / radio station of Y101 etc....

...sus, weekend na sab here in Riyadh.... no work ugma... :goodnight:

Malacañang sa Sugbo - needs to look better for Tourist Attraction.
Future Presidents will be "obligated" to use it too.
The gate/fences look like a jail or a military camp from the outside.
Changing it to subtle, secured and beauty without blocking its view would be a very challenging design.
We do not have to go to Manila to see Malacañang Palace:kiss: .

There should be an operational Presidential Yatch parked behind Malacanang sa Sugbo all the time so they can use it to tour some visiting delegates to the surrounding islands in the Visayas anytime.

Whew! I'm sweating in excitement for this edifice to be finish hopefully by last quarter of 2007.

Looking at the design of this edifice, surely SSC Cebu boys can't help but notice that by the time this edifice will be finish, we will have a new cafe to hang around. Just like the cafe at FGU and GV Tower, right boys?

I'm 100% confident that Metro Cebu has a big and rich enough market to support a medium-sized theme-park the size of Star City.

May unta kung masugdan na kanang Enchanted Kingdom Cebu para mahuman na akong pagka-bored diri...hehe.

even a full-sized theme park would do good in cebu. considering that cebu is centrally located in the vis-min area. and market isn't limited to cebuanos either. i bet people from as far as davao would flock to cebu ir ever a theme park will be built here. along with the theme park, more hotels must sprout too.:) hotels like marco polo and waterfront, and even better if hotels like shangrila and plantation bay will follow too.

Cebu transcentral hiway....

SSC Cebu peeps...

Tomorrow is our Christmas Party/Meeting or whatever!

Please don't forget that we badly need an extra ride. If you have been so humble in hiding your family car. Then it's time to flaunt it and drive it out of the garage. Okies!

Please don't be shy to show your car. It doesn't matter if your car is a wack, MTV will pimp it.:lol: hehehe... Plus! SSC Cebu peeps are not wack, our faces will pimp your ride.

Guys, do you think Cebu lacks shopping malls because I've noticed na katong mga malls sa gawas (i.e. malls sa Bangkok, Thailand) di gyud kaayo pareho kapuno sa SM City Cebu ug, labi na gyud, Ayala Center Cebu.

ang kanang nag-operate sa dagko na malls sa bangkok (paragon ug central world) kay international ba or thailand based lang? kay kung international gani, nindot pud unta kung mo-branch out sila dinhi sa ato...

Just want to share my pics. hehe

Yes, we definitely lack shopping malls. Even my friends from Manila say that Cebu deserves more. Kasi, SM and Ayala really get TOO crowded especially on weekends. So we need at least two more to desaturate these 2 giants. And aside from that, we need more smaller malls (I think Cebu Boardwalk and Parkmall@168 will address to that need.) And to top it off, we need malls in the progressing municipalities and smaller cities so that residents as far as from Bogo or as far as from Santander won't have to flock to Metro Cebu just to go shopping...

but if you want budget buys and excellent service, then try Gaisano Bogo...

they sell fairly decent items at prices that are way lower than that at the city...

i went there last month, and bought a pair of shades for about a hundred...and when i checked the price of the same item at SM, it was at three hundred...although medyo naluma na siya na design, pero it's still a great buy...

so kung adto gani mo sa north, then hapit na lang pud

ok try lng nako ugma

Try walking Mango Avenue....from Fuente Osmeña to Sacred Heart School.
Compare that to Central Park NYC: http://www.dulemba.com/uploaded_images/Sidewalk-737502.jpg
or Broadway NYC near Macys.http://www.rangen.net/pages/photos/New%20York%20037.jpg

^^Pero I think New York was planned very well including their wide sidewalks... But I'm sure, New Cebu like CBP, SRP or the NMC will have that kind of safe and wide walkways sooner once fully developed.

Hino-on mas gusto ko gihapon maglakaw sa Colon ug Magallanes kay may TAPANGKO. Dili ta mabasa sa ulan ug walay kainit sa adlaw. Wala silay ug wala kay makita TAPANGKO sa NYC.

SSC Cebu peeps...

Tomorrow is our Christmas Party/Meeting or whatever!

Please don't forget that we badly need an extra ride. If you have been so humble in hiding your family car. Then it's time to flaunt it and drive it out of the garage. Okies!

Please don't be shy to show your car. It doesn't matter if your car is a wack, MTV will pimp it.:lol: hehehe... Plus! SSC Cebu peeps are not wack, our faces will pimp your ride.

Ey yo! Thanks for Pimpin mah rhad yoh!

Misa de Gallo (Dec 16-24) usually starts at 4am... For those who can't wake up early, there's Simbang Gabi at the North Foyer of Ayala Center Cebu which starts today until Dec 23, 6:30pm

waah. masayang na-sad ang chance nga maka-apil ko sa meet. ugma pa jud mu-end among klase.. mga 530 sad., hahaizzzz. hehe
wow. the new cebu commercial tower is somehow glassy (glass mad jud tingali 2 kai ni-reflect xa sa background if you've noticed). that area is already becoming dense,. i hope ma-puno na jd ang CBP arun ma-force ang ayala to expand ug eventually ma-connect sa katung capitol-owned lot and asiatown.. :)

naa koy nabasahan ganina sa pikas thread about chong hua opening a hospital across BTC...IMO, the location is not a very good one, considering the fact that North Gen and Gullas Medical Center are just minutes away...murag di man sad kaayo click ang hospitals diha...adto lang unta sila mag-open sa north, like Danao or Lilo-an...parehas sa gihimo sa Cebu Doc with South Gen...

ASEAN leaders attending January summit, say organizers

First posted 18:50:27 (Mla time) December 15, 2006
Agence France-Presse




THE leaders of all 10 Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members have confirmed their availability for the summit of the regional bloc from January 10 to 15 in Cebu, the head of the Philippine organizing committee said.

Only the leaders of ASEAN's dialogue partners -- China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand -- have yet to reply, Marciano Paynor said during a radio interview.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo made a dramatic last-minute decision to postpone the summit, originally set for December 9-13, citing an approaching typhoon.

Officials denied the cancellation was prompted by warnings from Britain, the United States, Australia and other nations about a possible terror attack on Cebu. The bad weather eventually spared the central Philippine island.

Paynor said that contrary to speculation in the media and even statements from some foreign dignitaries, the only reason for the postponement was the typhoon.

He said that the decision, which was arrived upon after consultations with senior officials of the other ASEAN members who were already in Cebu City, had been justified by subsequent events.

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono "will (attend), but we will announce it in time," his spokesman Dino Patti Djalal told Agence France-Presse (AFP) in Jakarta earlier this week.

Thai Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont is to join Arroyo on the new summit date, government spokesman Yongyuth Mayalarp said in Bangkok.

Malaysian Premier Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was also expected to attend, as will Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, spokesmen for their respective governments told AFP.

Japanese media reports said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was finalizing his schedule to attend the East Asia summit, which joins the 10 ASEAN nations and the six dialogue partners and is held in conjunction with the ASEAN summit.
