Baby ‘butanding’ shot dead, butchered in Negros Oriental

DUMAGUETE CITY, Philippines—A baby whale shark (Rhincodon typus) that was trapped inside a fishpen in a coastal barangay in Negros Oriental was allegedly shot dead by the fishpen owner and cut up by villagers, a local official said.

Job Tagle, municipal environment and natural resources officer of Amlan town, said they went to the beach of Barangay Bio-os after receiving the report at 9 a.m. and found that the endangered whale shark, locally known as "butanding," had already been butchered and divided among villagers there and of nearby Barangay (village) Polo in Tanjay City.

"When we got there, the residents had already cut up the shark. We were only able to retrieve the head for burial," Tagle said Tuesday.

Based on the size of the head of the butanding and eyewitness accounts, Tagle estimated the weight of the marine creature to be about a ton. "It was still a baby," he added.

Tagle quoted a police report as saying that the slain whale shark had more than 30 bullet wounds. The police believed that the slow-moving filter feeding shark was killed by the owner of the fishpen.

He said the Department of Environment and Natural Resources would file a case against the suspect.

Sightings of butandings have been reported in Tañon Strait, a protected seascape.

Tuesday’s incident is the second case of a butanding death in recent years. Four years ago, an adult male butanding was found dead on the shore of Barangay Piapi in Dumaguete City.

Indeed it is horrible. Negros Oriental is known to be an environment and wildlife friendly province. It could have the most number of protected areas and marine reserves than any province in the country and news such this counters the image of Negros Oriental. Whoever is the culprit should be dealt with accordingly.

I wanna post this statement taken from the comments written by Francis Lindero. This is just a portion of his article, because if I am going to post the complete write ups in this thread, it can cause conflict between cities. I am not going to insert the link either for the same reason.

Here we go:

"As in the case of my recent experience, aside from getting amazed with the reality of cooperative movement in the country, I was also overwhelmed upon seeing the Negros Oriental Convention Center.

The convention center, which served as venue of the TEAMshop, is a work in progress in the heart of Dumaguete City. The construction is going on but a big portion of the facility is already in use.

I could not really help but admire the local officials of Negros Oriental for coming up with such a big project. Aside from being big, the convention center is also a wise investment.

I could only bow and shake my head with frustration with my beloved @@@@(city/province was mentioned here) (the province and city taken as one).

When I shared my frustration to my fellow TEAMshop participants, they tried to explain saying that the project is made possible because of former Secretary of Finance Margarito Teves who hails from Dumaguete City.

Their justification may not, however, be enough to explain the existence of that Convention Center."

Thank you so much for the compliment.

Manila schools dominate UNIGAMES anew

The 15th University Games (UNIGAMES) hosted October 24 to 30 by Silliman University repeats what seems to be a trend: Manila schools dominating the overall rankings. (Click to view full results: Overall Rankings.)

De La Salle University (DLSU), De La Salle-College of St. Benilde (DLS-CSB), Far Eastern University (FEU) and San Beda College (SBC) are tied at three gold medals – the most number of gold medals won by a team.

But the University of the Philippines-Diliman (UPD) topped in terms of total number of medals. UPD bagged nine, followed by DLSU, seven, and FEU, six. .

Visayas was the strongest from the provincial bloc, with Foundation University in Dumaguete City and Southwestern University (SWU) in Cebu ranking first in the beach volleyball men’s and women’s divisions, respectively.

There were a total of ten schools from the Visayas and Mindanao that earned a spot in the top three, against Manila’s 13. These schools are: Central Philippines University (CPU), Holy Cross of Davao College (HCDC), Iloilo Doctors College (IDC), Mindanao State University (MSU)-Marawi, University of Negros Occidental Recoletos (UNOR), University of San Carlos (USC), University of St. La Salle (USLS), Xavier University (XU), FU and SWU.

FU was also highest in terms of number of medals from Visayas and Mindanao at four medals, followed by USLS with three. The rest had one each.

Policies of the UNIGAMES, however, provide “no official declaration of general champions.” Only in each sports and athletic event can the individual winners be announced and awarded, to elevate and centralize the competitiveness among teams to their individual sports.

Three areas are being considered for the hosting of the 16th UNIGAMES: Bacolod, Baguio and Roxas. (Student writers from Silliman University College of Mass Communication & St. Paul University-Dumaguete College of Arts and Education (Mass Communication.)

Bulldogs dethrone Eagles in UniGames

DUMAGUETE, Philippines – Bobby Park’s young son launched his bid for stardom with an awesome performance that helped erstwhile perennial doormat National University dethrone defending champion and UAAP three-peat titleholder Ateneo Blue Eagles with a 66-53 win Friday night in the UniGames at the jampacked Lamberto Macias Sports Center.

The 6-5 Bobby Parks Jr. scored 19 points as he led the NU Bulldogs to the victory and a place in the championship against Adamson University, which led all the way in beating Far Eastern U, 76-62, in the other semifinal game.

Ahead 22-9 at the end of the first quarter and 34-27 at the half, the Bulldogs saw their lead wiped out by the Eagles who led, 40-38, at the end of the third quarter and tied it at 47-all going into the last period.

But the Bulldogs, hungry for another crown after ruling the Martin’s Cup last week, limited the Eagles to a measly six points in the entire quarter while scoring 19 points of their own to ensure the win.

A day after the Unigames closed at around 4 PM yesterday, and even early today I still see some Unigames athletes roaming around the city. I saw the whole San Beda football team, some DLS-Benilde athletes, etc. I heard they are now transferred and booked in hotels, but some are still staying in their quarters in Silliman. I guess they really like it here...

Sun broadband – the next frontier

Welcome to the Broadband Craze, the madness that powers up more and more Filipino homes daily. 25 million individuals all over the country make a stand each day by using the World Wide Web through their computers or through their mobile devices. And with top-of-the-line offers coupled with great customer service, Sun Broadband is making a mark in the wireless industry.

Sun uses 3G HSDPA to deliver its broadband service. 3G is widely adopted worldwide, so cheaper network equipment, devices, and handsets are within reach. Sun Broadband’s network was specifically designed to handle large numbers of users generating high levels of traffic. So with the aid of Next Generation Network Technology, it consistently provides internet at higher speeds with seamless connectivity. As a result, more and more users each day recommend the use of Sun Broadband, earning Sun Cellular a respectable reputation and place in the Telco industry today.

Sun Broadband has a lot more to offer its subscribers as well. Affordable postpaid plans are available like the Sun Digihome, an internet and phone bundle that comes with a free wireless router which allows more users to surf the internet.

Prepaid plans are also affordable and convenient to use. Cost-wise, Sun is the most fair in terms of decrementing one’s load, giving a long window in which to use the credits, much to all subscribers’ delight.

Sun Cellular’s network expansion project is the largest 3G expansion in its history and will double the number of their 3G sites, extending the network’s coverage to reach over 20 million Filipinos. From just catering to subscribers in Metro Manila, Sun Broadband and other services will now be available in the three major islands of the country.

Sun Cellular is becoming available in most key cities of the following provinces: In Luzon: Bulacan, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal. Sun Broadband can also be accessed in the following cities: Tarlac, Cabanatuan, Gapan, Subic, Laoag, Baguio, Lucena, Legazpi, and Naga.

In Visayas: Cebu City, Talisay, Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, Tagbilaran, Bacolod , Dumaguete, Iloilo , Kalibo, and Tacloban. And in Mindanao, Sun Broadband will be available in Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, General Santos, Metro Davao, Zamboanga and Butuan.

How they wrote their first songs

MANILA, Philippines—Is there a template for becoming a good songwriter?

The “1st Elements National Songwriting Camp,” to be held Nov. 14-18 in Dumaguete, Negros Oriental, is a good opportunity for the 60 chosen participants to listen to some of the country’s renowned musicians and composers talk about their personal experiences.

The Inquirer asked five of the event’s dozens of mentors how they wrote their first songs.

I went there thrice, Nick. The sad thing is, one of their 2 machines broke down and they didn't fix it. They only serve regular ice cream now. So I'll have to wait a couple more days for Gabby's :).

@Hotel Palwa vertical expansion: What's taking them so long to finish it?????? Hmmmm.. they missed a lot of customers in the past months... Buglasan, Unigames... etc

It's quite difficult to hoist concrete and other materials up their building considering there's not much space for trucks and construction equipment to move around and also the hotel continues to operate while construction is ongoing.

BUGLASAN
Oldest Festival of Festivals in the Country

http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/9889/34115769.jpg

In olden times Negros natives and residents of nearby islands referred to our island as BUGLAS. Two accounts attempt to explain the origin of the name. One is that it derives from an upheaval during which the island was ripped off (buklas) from a larger land mass. The other is that the predominant vegetation on the island at that time were tall napier-like reeds called buglas.

While anchored in Bohol in 1572, Miguel Lopez de Legaspi’s attention was captured by the island and he sent a crew to reconnoiter it. The crewmen encountered dark-skinned natives and thereafter renamed the island NEGROS. However, a map dated 1572 and attributed to a member of the Legazpi expedition, Diego Lope Povedano, shows Negros Island labeled BUGLAS INSULIS.

In 1981 Foundation University and the Balikatan sa Kaunlaran – NCRFW Negros Oriental Chapter staged a competition in cooperation with the Provincial Government to determine the Province’s delegation to the First National Folk Arts Festival organized by Imelda Romualdez Marcos. Various festivals from different towns and cities in Negros Oriental converge to compete and unite to form a one grand festival.

Dubbed BUGLASAN FESTIVAL in memory of the island’s beginnings, when its cultural character began to take shape, the event comprised booth presentations, indigenous culinary competitions, and street dances and field presentations of various local cultural productions that had evolved into modest festivals. In recognition of the unique and distinct nature of each one, the competition was called the FESTIVAL OF FESTIVALS.

Temporarily the tallest building; until the hotel beside Union bank is finished. Then it may be the tallest building in the island. Someone posted that Bacolod also has a 10 storey building u/c. Looks like a bit of nice healthy competition; who can have the tallest building in the island. That's how New York and Chicago have so many large buildings; they competed with each other as to who owns the tallest building in the world.

If SM is wanting to come here, then I know that Francel Martinez is trying to sell their family lots (30+ hectares in Cadawinonan), which will be alongside the new Diversion Road (at a standstill at the moment).

What I would like to see in this city are:

1. Completion of the diversion road; this will open up other parts of the city for development.

2. Burying of the many cables; especially in the downtown area. Many of the posts are not even straight and have not been moved, even though they are now in the middle of the road.

3. Creation of a new uptown commercial center.

There are many others, but these three would top my list.

I agree with you garth....I am really hoping that the city government will look into this....

Again, as per latest info, this won't be a hotel but a condominium... Good addition to the several existing condos in the city. Not to mention Victoria Residences in front of he Capitol is also ready for occupation...:)

Victoria Residences is almost done.... I am so happy that the small city like Dumaguete have Condos like that big cities in the country....:cheers::cheers:

With those balcons facing the west side, it actually looks more like a condo than a hotel. Those openings are for the individual pads which could be used for purposes such as hanging of laundries, etc...

Power firm accepts offer of Green Corp
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

The Negros Oriental 2 Electric Cooperative has accepted the offer of Green Corp. to supply the cooperative with the power requirement in its coverage area from Pamplona, Tanjay to Basay, in Negros Occidental with over 90,000 consumers.

The offer of Green Corp. was adopted through a board resolution in yesterday’s board meeting attended by NORECO 2 general manager Ephraim Taclob.

Taclob said he saw the need to purchase power directly from the geothermal plant in Palinpinon, Valencia, to reduce, if not minimize, power interruptions, including rotating brownouts that have greatly inconvenienced the public, as well as the business sector.

He explained that the offer is justifiable, even as the rates are a little bit higher compared to other Independent Power Producers that are being subsidized by the government. Green Corp. may have set the price, but subject to the approval of the Energy Regulatory Commission, Taclob pointed out.

He said the cooperative intends to contract from Green Corp. a maximum of 25 megawatts in addition to the 12 megawatts already contracted with KEPCO.

The contract has a lock-in period of five years, which means that any fluctuations or increase in peso-dollar rates will not affect the contracted price.

NORECO 2’s baseload requirement is 35 megawatts.*JG

Top-notch universities, BPO hub, world-class tourism, booming real estate, top pick as convention city, complete sports facilities, high quality human resources, exciting shopping, a good gathering of multi-national expats which brings out a very wide array of international cuisine restaurants, full of colorful culture and history, the cultural performance center of the south, and best of all, it still retains the old-world charm..:)

Very well said Nicko.......Dili lang International events....International Boutiques/shops are here in our City.........

Nice!

Dumaguete City has the best downhill riders (Barba family) and Valencia has one of the best downhill tracks in the country.

Wendel Barba owns the Hitech Mountainbike shop along the south national highway. If you want to purchase a bike and learn how to downhill, he is the guy to look to.

Well for me another mall as big and as beautiful as Robinsons Dumaguete with top notch shops, good outdoor environment, pulsating nightlife, and surrounded by condominiums, hotels, BPO campuses and other retirement and urban amenities would be a good addition to the city's increasingly exciting urban landscape...

Call center prefers to expand hiring in Dumaguete, Cebu

A Cebu-based call center will expand next year by hiring 3,600 people to handle customer service accounts.

Gilbey Radin, human resource and general affairs manager of Qualfon, said they hired 1,500 people for their recently opened Dumaguete City office.

Qualfon occupies space in the Skyrise 3 building in Asiatown IT Park in barangay Lahug, Cebu City.

“In Cebu we already have 1,000 people and we expect to add more next year with the opening of Skyrise 4 where we will occupy four to five floors and another floor in TGU building in Asiatown I.T Park,” Radin said.

Qualfon has 10 delivery centers around the world including Buenos Aires in Argentina; Chicago, Utah and Wisconsin in USA; Georgetown, Guyana; Heredia in Costa Rica; and and Monterey, in Mexico, Cebu City and Dumaguete City.

Radin said Qualfon management decided to expand to Dumaguete City and Cebu after seeing high potential for growth in the country.

“They saw that the Philippine delivery center has the best customers service representatives with agents who can speak English well and communicate effectively with customers,” Radin said.

He said most of their employees come from Mindanao like Cagayan de Oro and Tacloban City in Leyte.

Radin said they chose to focus expansion in Cebu rather than Manila because of the large supply of talents in the province.

“Most of our employees are from the University of Cebu, then Cebu Normal University and University of San Jose-Recoletos, which could also indicate that these institutions in Cebu are producing graduates that pass standards of a BPO company like us,” he said.

It is this expansion and the rapid growth in business process outsourcing (BPO) in Cebu that prompted the Cebu Educational Development Foundation for Information Technology (CEDF-IT) to help lobby for the creation of a Cabinet-level department in government to focus on these special needs.

“In the case of the IT/BPO leadership, majority of the industry players across the country, favor the creation of a Department of Information and Communication Technology (ICT),” said CEDF-IT representative Boni Belen.

But Belen, who is executive vice president of Teledevelopment, said he is aware that the proposal isn't favored by the Aquino administration at this time “mainly for political and perhaps partly for governance reasons.”

“We feel that it is incumbent upon us to prove our case in the hope that the government will listen, having visited Cebu to dialogue and consequently to be better aware of the voice of the majority,” Belen said.

She has won many awards, including Overall 2nd Prize in the USA Songwriting Competition for her song "Happy Valentine's Day" which she calls "a song to slash your wrist by". Her more popular works include "Now That I Have You", "You've Made Me Stronger", "Shine", and "Tell The World Of His Love".

I can just remember back in high school in St. Paul that we were made to memorize the song "Tell The World Of His Love", the theme song when Pope John Paul II visited our country during the World Youth Day. A very beautiful song though.

The DTI estimated that we had 3,000 workers in 2009. Qualfon hired 1,500 since opening. Add to that the workforce of Zero One Concept (about 200 employees) plus several other smaller companies that have located here recently such as E-Hors, Intellibiz and Marketing Plus. Couple that with the continuing expansion of Teletech, Student Universe/SOPHI and SPi. We have now breached the 5,000 mark and that's a conservative estimate.

Bizmen expect less brownouts
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
Saturday, November 6, 2010

The president of the Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry welcomed the decision of the Negros Oriental 2 Electric Cooperative to purchase power directly from Green Core.

“It will give them a peace of mind,” Ed Du said, adding that the business sector is optimistic the decision will hopefully eliminate, if not drastically reduce, the number of rotating brownouts being experienced by electric consumers in the province.

Right now, he said, it’s a sellers’ market, where demand for power is high but the supply is short.

Although the rates may be higher compared to the government subsidized rate, Du said there’s no guarantee that the price will remain when the existing contract of the cooperative with NAPOCOR expires in December, especially when the PSALM has started bidding out existing power plants to private investors.

The NOCCI president said that, if indeed there is a lock-in period of five years, it would be an advantage to the business sector because they can already predict the costs of their operation.

They can also invite investors because power costs within five years will not be subjected to fluctuations. This is good news, Du pointed out.*JG

I addition to the rubberization of the Silliman track oval, I was told that the Silliman gym will also be rubberized. It will have the appearance and feel of an elastic woodcourt, but only they will be using rubber as coating for the top floor, not wood which is quite expensive. Just like this (http://www.dynamicsportsconstruction.com/basketball-courts.htm).

I thinks its gonna be more like taraflex or vinyl...

Dateline Dumagete, Philippines: Atmosphere - a European style dive resort
By Ted Macauley, eTN | Nov 07, 2010

(eTN) - Trip Advisor, the bane of many hoteliers, can be scathing in some of the personal reviews that are posted on that site. It could make or break a hotel's reputation. Not so in the case of Atmosphere Resort, located 40 kilometers to the south of Dumagete, Negros Orientales, Philippines - the comments are all good.

I was in search of a weekend break and had been using Cebu for the past few years as my main destination for R & R. Looking for something quieter and closer to nature, I stumbled across Atmosphere Resort in the town of Dauin. The reviews were glowing and full of praise for the resort; its attention to detail, cuisine, so much so that I thought someone might have been paid to write the articles!

I decided to call up the resort and book myself in. The telephone contact was professional (not always the case in the Philippines), and the owners, Gaby and Mat, took charge of my booking.

Three days later, I was picked up at the Dumagete airport by a driver from the resort... 30 minutes later, I arrived in what best could be described as the perfect antidote to city life. A calm collection of thatched cottages leading down to an infinity pool and restaurant fronting the beach.

The accommodation is scattered through Atmosphere's lush tropical gardens, with choices ranging from suites, garden apartments, and luxury penthouses. All the cottages and apartments have their own private garden/outside space for relaxation, and all views are across the gardens with most through to the sea.

What distinguishes Atmosphere from the competition is its attention to detail in both service and the high caliber of the staff. Gaby told me that when the resort was opened two years ago they were able to pick and choose from a pool of university grads. This is evident in the interaction I had with most of the staff, even surpassing 5-star resorts like Shangrila and Mandarin in the Philippines. And guess what - nobody called me “sir,” much to my sheer delight.

Cuisine is an important element and the chef will prepare individual meals to suit personal tastes. Breakfast is a delight and offers all options from buffet style to a la carte and is generally included in the room package.

A new spa is under construction and will open in December, and the European staff offers yoga classes on a daily basis.

After two nights and three days at Atmosphere, I felt well rested and am only thinking about a rapid return so I can take them up on what they do best - diving and a trip to Apo Island, a marine sanctuary, which is part of the view that comes with the room.

More than 20 ICT Councils to participate in NICP event

More than 20 information and communications technology (ICT) councils are expected to participate in the 3rd National ICT Summit in Bacolod City on November 25 to 26, with the theme “Connecting the Islands to the World.”

The event, which was started by the National ICT Confederation of the Philippines (NICP) in 2008, has been an annual venue for ICT councils in various cities and provinces to keep abreast with the important global and national developments in the ICT and business process outsourcing industry.

Now on its third year, the Bacolod-Negros Occidental Federation for Information and Communications Technology (BNEFIT) Inc. serves as host to the event.

Jocelle Batapa-Sigue, concurrent chairperson of BNEFIT and NICP, said the event hopes to promote a strong collaboration between government, academe, and industry both in the national and local levels.

Batapa-Sigue said this is best exemplified in the ICT council’s structure at the local level where effective collaboration between various stakeholders is a requisite for the IT-BPO industry to continue to grow, as shown by strong government support, dynamic real estate and business sector participation, collaborative partnerships with industry players, and intensive human capital development programs.

The NICP, especially through the summit aims to be a national venue for collaboration, develop the member organizations through the sharing of best practices, among others, and to be the unified voice for the Philippine ICT industry.

Expected to attend are representatives from Albay ICT Association, Inc., Bulacan ICT Council, Cagayan de Oro ICT Council, Cebu Educational Development Foundation for IT, City of San Fernando Pampanga ICT Council, ICT Association of Dumaguete and Negros Oriental, ICT@Bicol Council, ICT Davao, Inc., ICT Solutions Association of Region 12–General Santos City, Iligan City ICT Council, Iloilo Federation for IT, Lipa ICT Council, Laguna Industry Network for Knowledge, Innovation and Technology Foundation, Metro Clark ICT Council Inc., Metro Ilocos Norte ICT Council, Vigan City ICT Council, Nueva Ecija ICT Council, Nueva Vizcaya ICT Council, Dagupan ICT Council and Bohol ICT Council.

The summit will feature an update from CICT Secretary Ivan John Uy and the talks of resource speakers from major partners such as IBM Philippines, Teleperformance, Philippine Computer Society, Game Developers Association of the Philippines, Business Processing Association of the Philippines, and the Philippine Software Industry Association.*

NORSU celebrates 82nd Founders Day

“NORSU: Industry and Hard Work for Productivity” is this year’s theme for the 82nd Founders Day celebration of Negros Oriental State University (NORSU). It is a 6-day celebration starting Saturday, November 28 to Thursday, December 3.

The founders day theme was suggested by NORSU President Henry A. Sojor during the faculty meeting in June this year. He said NORSU graduates are now recognized not only locally but also in the national and global arenas; and a number of graduates have been topnotchers in professional and licensure exams. The following are the activities of the 6-day celebration:

· November 28 – Diana, Thanksgiving Mass,Opening of Intramural Games, Torch Parade and Opening of Booths, and Modern Dance.

· November 29 – Intramural Games, Parade-in-Review in honor of Outstanding Alumni, Retirees and Board Topnotchers, and Alumni Homecoming.

· November 30 – Intramural Games, Cheerleading and Dance Spor

· December 1 – Intramural Games, Mr. and Ms. 2010 Pageant

· December 2 – University Academic Convocation, Awarding of Outstanding Alumni, Recognition of Retirees and Board Topnotchers, Fellowship Luncheon of Faculty, FUPTA and Board Topnotchers, Intramural Games; Choral Singing Competition.

· December 3 – Hugyawan, Search for Hugyawan King and Queen; Awarding Ceremonies and Fireworks, NORSUNIAN Night.

The highlight of the celebration is Hugyawan ’09 – an entertainment that involves street dancing in the major city streets of Dumaguete and the showdown of each contingent’s presentation at the NORSU Cultural Complex. Hugyawan is a Cebuano term for shouts of joy and merriment. For entertainment purposes, Hugyawan 09 has its own theme which is NORSU: in a hilarious encounter with world’s superheroes. The 14 contingents are from the two main campuses in Dumaguete City to its satellite campuses of Guihulngan, Bais, Siaton, Bayawan-Sta. Catalina, and the latest satellite campus of Mabinay. Hugyawan ’09 is chaired by Dr. Peter T. Dayot. Overall chair for the founders day is Dr. Ma. Elsa Ilona Bulado, with Dr. Mary Evangeline F. Gajunera, co-chair.

In 1927, NORSU was then known as Negros Oriental Trade School (NOTS). In 1956, NOTS was changed to East Visayan School of Arts and Trades (EVSAT). In 1983, it became Central Visayas Polytechnic College (CVPC); and in 2004, it became NORSU, created through Republic Act 9299 on June 25, 2004. August 19, 2004 marked the day for the investiture of Dr. Henry A. Sojor as first president of NORSU.

I am planning to visit Dumaguete by January en route to Cebu for the Sinulog Festival. If I will take a bus (Ceres) for Cebu, do I need to reserve tickets or just hop to the bus based on their schedule?

How much is their fare? Thanks in advance!!:)

just hop in! prepaid bus tickets are not really popular here in the Visayas

fare would be around Php270 including the ferry ride :)

Dapitan will host Palarong Pambansa 2011.

Source? Do they have the facilities in the first place. I've been to Dapitan more than a couple of times and I'd say it's quite hard to hold Palarong Pambansa there. It's just like Bayawan, Tanjay or Bais hosting it...The number of participants alone will be a big headache, and they would have to spend more than tens of millions for tents alone if they push through with the hosting. And additional tens of millions to build a rubberized track field...Do they have that money? Maybe get from PCSO...But is PCSO generous this time?

There's always a market for that...The free ride experiment of Robinsons should provide valuable lessons regarding fixed route jeepneys. Better still why don't they use the e-jeepney that is made in Sibulan?

i hope the city government will offer route franchises as soon as possible.. yes, the e-jeepney of insular technologies or the electric jeepneys being used in Makati should be considered as well, that would fit really well with the city's environmental conservation policy

We can then become the world center of identity theft. Then the London and LA police can establish their respective outposts here to solve identity theft related crimes...

And the Chinese Triads, the Mafia, Yakuza, Kuratong Baleleng and whatnot will all be scrambling to set up shop here. How does Dumaguete, Crime Capital of the Philippines, sound? Kewl, huh? :naughty: lol.

The city will have to bar trikes from plying the main streets and that would infuriate a large voting block (considering there are probably 5000 tricycle drivers now plus their families). Will the city gov't. do that? We will see fixed-route multicabs only when the traffic situation in our streets becomes so awful, the city will come to a standstill. By then, we all wouldn't have any other option & will be forced to switch.

‘CVIRAA meet no longer purely sports’

After the influx and departure of athletes from all over the country during the University Games, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, will again play host to almost 8,000 delegates in this year’s Central Visayas Athletic Association meet that officially starts today and will end Friday.

Education Regional Director Recaredo Borgonia said that starting this year, it will not be purely sports competitions in the meet, with the integration of academic and cultural contests.

Under the academic category, contestants will vie for honors in the extemporaneous speech with focus on environmental concerns and in spelling. In the cultural category, teachers will be given the chance to compete among themselves in “balitaw” and the other one is folkdance for students in the elementary and secondary levels, instead of ballroom dancing.

Borgonia said that the inclusion of these categories is a paradigm shift that the region has embraced, to instill in the minds of the athletes the Filipino customs, values, and traditions essential for their holistic development.

He expressed optimism that the CVIRAA meet will promote unity and cooperation among the stakeholders that will lead to the hosting of the Palarong Pambansa this year.

Borgonia said Dumaguete and Negros Oriental have the best facilities in pursuing their bid to host next year’s Palarong Pambansa.

Meanwhile, Borgonia refuted claims that the number of officials in this year’s CVIRAA is almost the same number as that of the athletes.

Records show a total of 7,571 delegates all over the region, 4,637 of them are athletes while only 2,934 comprise of coaches, chaperons, local government officials, delegation officials, officiating officials, sports coordinators, and other committees.

Cebu province has the highest number of delegates with 715, followed by Cebu City with 690, Bohol – 596 delegates, Lapu-lapu City – 580, Mandaue City – 579, and Negros Oriental with 575 total number of delegates. The smallest delegation is Naga City with 117 and Toledo City with 123 delegates.*JG

I'm wondering, around what percentage of our city's BPO workforce is from outside NegOr? I'm pretty sure we attract a considerable number from Siquijor and perhaps the southernmost towns of Cebu (Santander, Samboan, etc) but what about ZamPen & other areas? Our SPi insider could probably give an estimate...

I don't have the exact figure but as far as I know majority are coming from the city of Dumaguete and the province of Negros Oriental. Only few from Dipolog, Siquijor, Negros Occidental (San Carlos, Kabankalan, Himamaylan, Hinoba-an), Cebu Province (Santander, Oslob), Ozamis City, Pagadi-an and a few from Iligan City. If I am going to make an assumption, all these areas are just 20% of the total Manpower.

I hope I can post the accurate if not the actual figure direct from the source :lol::lol::lol:.... But the way I see it, total graduates from the Colleges and Universities here in town are just enough to compensate the need of the entire BPO community in the City. (correct me if I'm wrong)

Yes we have, but take note that these are also product from the Colleges and Universities in town... they got their bachelors degree here in our very own City. Here at SPi Global - Contents Solutions employees are all college graduates, we don't accept college level.

Is it really hard to understand? I mean seriously, negrenses doesn't want to leave his Island and that is a fact. These companies are just fooling themselves thinking that they could lure us with this onetime employment package. Well, some might but this is only temporal and eventually they will come back in year or so.

Big cities are great but what about families? Do they include this in their studies? Do they consider it as a factor?

In our city we can enjoy what these big cities are offering and in fact we have so much more to offer. And most of all we have our families.

It actually doesn't make sense for a callcenter located in another city to come and recruit agents from another city month after month. Industry experts would tell us that if a callcenter cannot recruit 65% of its agents in the city where it is located then that is unhealthy and is bound for death. Now the news of this callcenter expanding in that city to hire more agents doesn't make sense to me. And to think that many of its managers and supervisors, not just ordinary employees, come from our city and universities.

We have always been the provider of things for other cities such as power, and human resources...Shall this go on forever? Probably I would advocate that this company be barred from hiring our graduates here.

Regarding big cities, they are not great at all. I mean, I've been to big cities and they give you a lot of headaches. High living costs, pollution, small space to breathe, lack of recreation facilities that is compounded by the pollution problems and the high cost of living, etc. And to think that many of the people in these cities are not really nice. Now that really sucks!

Cebu City tankers shine, win 12 golds in CVIRAA
By Mars G. Alison
