SPUD's beauty never wanes at night especially when its already dim and the lights are turned on . For a stranger passing along the highway, at first glance one might think that it is a park rather than a school.

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.

Guys!

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 :)

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?

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)

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
Cebu Daily News First Posted 07:49:00 11/10/2010

Dumaguete City– Team Cebu City Niños pulled ahead of other delegations with 18 gold medals, 16 silvers and eight bronze medals in the second day of the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association (CVIRAA) competition yesterday.

The Niños added 14 golds yesterday with 12 contributed by its tankers and the rest clinched by the athletics team.

Dumaguete, whom the Niños considered as their biggest threat, is at far second with a medal tally of 7-4-7 (gold-silver-bronze) while Cebu Province is at third place with three gold medals, eight silvers and six bronze medals.

The rest of the delegation who grabbed medals were Bogo with two golds and a silver; Tagbilaran with one gold, one silver and two bronze medals and Mandaue with one gold and three silvers.

Handing Cebu City its first gold in swimming at the Sen. Lorenzo Teves Aqua Center is Faith Baptist School's Kong Michael Ichiro in the 200-meter individual medley (IM) elementary boys with a time of two minutes and 48.61 seconds.

Ichiro accounted for another gold after clocking 35.92 seconds in the 50m backstroke.

Another tanker who gave Cebu City two gold medals was Lyh Ann Navarro of Cebu Eastern College (CEC), who dominated the elementary girls 400m freestyle with a time of 5:32.54 and 200m IM with 2:54.92.

The rest of the gold medals in swimming came from elementary's Madelin Capacio (50m backstroke), Tristan Ebon (50m backstroke), Michael Sasedor (50m breaststroke); and secondary's Cynth Jhune Goden (200m backstroke), John Michelson Beltran (200m IM), Anthony Navarro (200m backstroke), 4x100m medley relay, 4x100m freestyle relay boys and girls teams.

As the swimming competition winds up today, secondary boys team trainor Ronald Manlosa agreed that Cebu City could end up as overall champions in swimming.

The Niños remaining two gold medals yesterday came from athletics held at the oval of the Gov. Mariano Perdices Memorial Coliseum.

The golds were courtesy of Jersell Cabatino in the secondary boys high jump and Vlessica Jagna in the 1,500 meter run. Both athletes are from the University of Cebu (UC).

The new 3-storey building of Negros Lechon Manok at Cervantes St. is nearing completion. The 1st level is where they'll serve fried drumsticks, 'paa inasal', 'adidas' and other dishes that use the lower parts of a chicken. The second floor will specialize in buffalo wings, barbecued breasts and 'pecho' inasal (the midsection). Of course, the 3rd floor is dedicated to serving the upper parts -- spicy necks and deep-fried battered chicken heads. Poultry dish connoisseurs will have plenty to choose from. That's chicken perfection from head to claw. Exciting!

Sans Rival lives up to name and reputation

by Lito Cinco

Last year, Dumaguete City’s most famous pastry, Sans Rival, was included in a list of the country’s top 10 desserts compiled by a major broadsheet, a major accomplishment considering that outside of this Southern city in Negros, this particular version of the dessert is quite difficult to find.

Sans rival is French for without rival and it is perfectly applicable in this case as both local folks and visitors to Dumaguete have been continuously patronizing the product since the business was officially opened way back in 1977.

It was then that Trinidad Teves Sagarbarria was finally convinced by friends and relatives to sell her products to the general public. Up until then she had been selling them from her house along San Jose St., near the city’s famous Rizal Boulevard.

This writer, on a sports coverage trip to Dumaguete of the University Games hosted by Silliman University, had an opportunity to try not only the city’s famous Sans Rival but also the equally famous Silvanas, and I even found the time to sit down with Chining Bustamante, managing director of the family-owned business

On her shoulders fell the task to expand Sans Rival from a three table, non-air-conditioned original set up to what it is now—a 60 to 70 capacity café, with a lot more items on the menu, including pasta and sandwiches.

“People say there is no comparison (between our Sans Rival and those made by others). I guess the difference is my mom’s secret butter icing recipe. The fact is a good half of what we sell now comes from the original products my mom started with. Aside from the popular sans rival and silvanas, we also have cinnamon buns and ensaymadas, as well as different kinds of cakes like the mocha crunch, black forest, pandan -macapuno cake, and choco kahlua. We are now even offering lunch specials, “ says Chining.

For the uninformed, like this writer for instance, Sans Rival is composed of layers of meringue mixed with grand cashew nuts and held together by a creamy butter mouselline and with a generous sprinkling of chopped cashew nuts on top. Silvanas are thin bite-size meringue wafers rolled in cookie crumbs that practically melt in one’s mouth.

Like other family businesses, the owners would like to keep things small and are still hesitant to really expand the business. In fact, it was only in 2007, three years after death of the founder that the second generation finally decided to grow the business. Two years after, another major decision was made to open its very first expansion branch at the newly-opened Robinson’s Place in Dumaguete.

“So far, we are doing better than what we expected and by next year , the plan is to expand the commissary. In the future, we would like to expand nationwide and maybe try franchising as some people have been suggesting,” added Chining.

And that is certainly good news for Sans Rival lovers. Imagine, one does not have to go to far-away Dumaguete or beg friends who go there to bring back these mouth watering Dumaguete delicacies, the earlier, the better, we say.

Phl local execs participate in American Council of Young Political Leaders Program; meet with Philippine Embassy officers

Manila (11 November) -- The Philippine Embassy in Washington D.C. reported that nine local government officials from the Philippines travelled to the United States to participate in the exchange program organized by the American Council of Young Political Leaders (ACYPL).

The group of young political leaders was composed of Councilor Kirk Asis (Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur); Councilor Maria Lina Baura (Tagum City, Davao del Norte); Vice Mayor Conrad Cejoco (Bislig City, Surigao del Sur); Board Member Abeleon Damalerio, (Bohol); Board Member Aristotle Gaza (Bataan); Councilor Joseph Juico (Quezon City); Vice Governor Jose Antonio Leviste (Batangas); Councilor Cheryl Sembrano (Villasis, Pangasinan); and, Mayor Karen Villanueva (Bais City, Negros Oriental).

The delegates from the Philippines met with government, corporate, and community leaders in Washington D.C., Kansas and Washington from October 30 to November 9.

The officials met with Embassy officers on November 3 and discussed key issues in the bilateral relations between the Philippines and the United States covering political and security, economic and trade, and the Filipino-American community.

"Local government officials are directly in touch with the challenges faced by Filipinos. We value their experiences and insights as we advance greater partnership between the Philippines and the United States and make this partnership more meaningful to our kababayan back home," Minister for Political Affairs Maria Andrelita Austria emphasized.

The delegates expressed keen interest on issues that will further shape the Philippines' relations with the United States, such as the pending Save Our Industries (SAVE) Act, which aims to revitalize the fabric and garments trade between the Philippines and the United States, as well as the results of the recent mid-term elections in the United States.

Supported by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the ACYPL exchange program exposes young political leaders to the policy and decision making process and political and electoral dynamics in different countries with the end in view of strengthening leadership and public diplomacy skills and fostering mutual understanding.

MVP firm to expand outsourcing business

Manila, Philippines—A BPO firm belonging to the Pangilinan group is eyeing the expansion of its healthcare business, aiming to tap the country’s abundance of trained healthcare workers, particularly thousands of unemployed nursing graduates, to create new jobs

SPi Global Holdings officials said the demand for outsourced healthcare-related jobs is expected to continue to grow as hospitals in the United States
look for ways to cut costs without compromising quality.

“The amount of money being paid for medical procedures in the US is escalating. Hospitals are looking for ways to do it more efficiently,” said Mike Beninato, CEO of SPi’s healthcare arm.

“They are making wholesale shifts to outsource more work. Anything that makes sense to outsource will be outsourced,” he said.

He declined to give details, but said the Philippines would be an ideal area for expanding the company’s healthcare business with the country’s numerous healthcare college graduates.

Citing third-party estimates, he said there are currently 187,000 unemployed nurses in the Philippines.

“There’s a treasure trove of talent in the Philippines which you can’t get in the US,” he said.

Healthcare, which makes up about a third of the company’s yearly revenues, is one of SPi’s three main lines of business, despite having just 2,000 employees out of the firm’s total workforce of 14,000.

^^^^

There was a plan that healthcare will also open here in Dumaguete City, a site visit was conducted last 2 or 3 years ago together with the Bosses of SPI Global-CRM (formerly Ventus). I hope that this will be realized soon to give more job opportunities to all our unemployed Nurses.

Perdices back in NegOr; Degamo still acting guv (http://www.visayandailystar.com/2010/November/12/negor1.htm)
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

Negros Oriental Gov. Agustin Perdices has returned to the province but has not yet assumed his functions, after his latest absence of two weeks when speculations about his real health condition mounted.

The governor arrived at the Dumaguete City airport Wednesday afternoon and proceeded to the legislative building to meet with Vice Gov. Roel Degamo, provincial treasurer Danilo Mendez and other officials.

Degamo, who has been the acting governor since Perdices left for medical treatment in Manila on Oct. 22, confirmed that the governor had gotten a status update on the province from the provincial officials.

Degamo said he briefed Perdices on what he had accomplished in his absence. He also said they discussed the allocation of an additional cash gift of P15,000 to P20,000 per employee for Christmas, and the release of the remaining 13th month pay on November 15.

Perdices recently admitted in a local radio interview that he had Stage 3 cancer of the stomach, but those who heard him on air said he sounded well.

Degamo said he is still the acting governor until Perdices submits his notice of assumption as required by law.*JFP

Sports dev’t to get boost: DepEd (http://www.visayandailystar.com/2010/November/12/negor3.htm)
BY MARICAR ARANAS

Regional Director Recaredo Borgonia of the Department of Education challenged yesterday the local government units to strengthen the sports development program down to the barangay level.

Borgonia said majority of the athletes from Central Visayas still need a lot of training and exposure to improve their performance.

He said they hope to get the best athletes from the winning teams during the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association held in Negros Oriental that ends tomorrow.

The best athletes will compete during the Palarong Pambansa in Dipolog. He said Central Visayas has consistently made it to the top five among the regions in the country and they hope it could accelerate to at least the top three in the PP.

Borgonia said one of the factors that affect the performance of the athletes is the lack of opportunity and facilities to practice their sport events. Some barangays have established for students playing venues for basketball, volleyball and soccer.

The schools sports development program will not be enough considering the limited time the children are in school, compared to the vacant time they have in the community, he said.

A sports development program would prevent young people from getting involved in drugs, vices and illegal activities.

Meanwhile, Negros Oriental DepEd Division Superintendent Dr. Milangros Velez confirmed that there were two towns that showed good performance in the last CVRAA. These are Tayasan and Bacong, with Canlaon City.

Tayasan ruled in sepak takraw, soccer for Bacong, while chess and track and field for Canlaon.

Velez confirmed the pending implementation of the Negros Oriental Sports Development Program which was introduced during the time of former Governor Emilio Macias II.

She said the project has enough funds but was recently put on hold, due to the change of administration. She said she hopes it will soon be re-implemented in the Perdices administration.MA

Lawas eyes revival of environmental cops (http://www.visayandailystar.com/2010/November/12/negor4.htm)
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

Negros Oriental police director, Senior Supt. Rey Lyndon Lawas, said there are plans to revive the Philippine National Police Environmental Desk Officers after a lull in their activities in the province.

Lawas spoke at a forum sponsored by the Philippine Information Agency during the month-long celebration of wildlife protection and conservation.

Lawas said PEDOs need to be revitalized in police stations as many members have already been reassigned elsewhere, and the vacancies not filled up due to lack of police personnel properly trained in environmental issues and concerns.

The transfer of the PEDOs could not be avoided as this is part of their career path, Lawas said.

Lawas said he is recommending that each police station has a trained PEDO and an assistant so a replacement is immediately available in the event of a transfer.

Lawas is also suggesting that clearance be obtained from the provincial PNP office before a PEDO is transferred to avoid vacancy.

Lawas attended the 1st monthly meeting recently with Vice Governor Roel Degamo and members of the Provincial Wildlife Conservation Council, on the month-long celebration and the year-round schedule of activities.

These include a seminar for PEDOs, Lawas said.

He also said there should be a plan of action for the PWCC, environmental groups, government agencies like the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and other stakeholders so environmental protection and conservation efforts in the province are consistent and unified.

Environmental groups are dismayed over the alleged “butchering” of a baby whale shark or “butanding” in Amlan on October 26.

The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) was reportedly trapped in a fishpen and shot dead by its owner who is now facing criminal raps.

Villagers had already cut up and divided its meat and only the head was retrieved when police and the environment and natural resources officer arrived.JFP

Slight increase in Negros Oriental forest cover noted

By Rachelle Nessia

Dumaguete City (12 November) -- The forest cover in the province rose slightly due to replanting efforts by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and non-government organizations here.

Records from DENR showed that forest cover rose slightly from 5.6% in 1987 to 6.85% in 2006.

Forest loss in the province has been on a steady decline from 1875 to 1992, said Leo Mamicpic of the Friends of the Environment in Negros Oriental during the Kapihan forum held by the Philippine Information Agency to mark the observation of Wildlife Conservation Month this November.

Mamicpic said the diminishing number of forest trees in the province is indirectly proportional to the swelling population. "As the population went up, the number of forest trees went down," he said.

Mamicpic said that forest trees in the province started to diminish noticeably starting 1949 and more denudation was observed in 1970 until in 1992, only 5.6% remained.

He lauded DENR's replanting efforts as it contributed to increasing the province's forest cover however slightly. (PIA/rmn) [top]

Niños grab big lead even in points race
By Mars G. Alison
Cebu Daily News First Posted 08:01:00 11/12/2010

Dumaguete City–Team Cebu City failed to sweep the athletics competition but still topped the event with plenty to spare in the Central Visayas Regional Athletics Association (CVIRAA) meet at the Gov. Mariano Perdices Memorial Complex oval.

TCC’s secondary girls team, composed of Daisy Mae Lawas, Princess Belle Villapaz, Sarah Mae Napoles and Kimberly Ygot, lost to Talisay City in the 4x100 relay, preventing the Niños from sweeping the event.

But Cebu City still ruled athletics after topping most of the track events.

Entering the penultimate day of competitions, Cebu City soared to a comfortable lead after accumulating 306 points coming from the medal-rich swimming, taekwondo, gymnastics and athletics.

And the Niños are expecting more as they also topped lawn tennis which ended late yesterday afternoon. The Niños secondary and elementary football teams and secondary basketball also advanced to today’s finals.

At temporary second is Cebu Province with 164 points while host Dumaguete City is at third with 98 points.

ATHLETICS

Earl Salinas anchored the Niños to a gold finish in the secondary boys 4x100 meter relay along with Raul Perez Jr., Roy Villahermosa and Kenneth Monzon. The Ninos also won silver in the 4x400m.

Their younger counterparts closed the day with two golds in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays.

Cebu City’s other elementary gold medalists were Joseph Camingao (110m hurdles), Tristan Paradela (400m run) and Clara Sofia Graciosa (triple jump).

In basketball, Paref Springdale proved their worth in representing Cebu City as they advanced to the finals after trouncing Tanjay in the secondary boys semifinals, 73-53, at the Lamberto Macias Sports Complex.

They will face Dumaguete in today’s final.

Booters of the Don Bosco Technological Center (DBTC), meanwhile, arranged a finals match against Cebu Province, manned by booters from the Don Bosco Boys Home in Liloan.

While the Niños had an easy, 6-1 semis win over Bohol, Cebu Province had to work extra hard, winning via penalty shootout against Bayawan City, 3-2, after regulation ended in a, 3-all tie.

Cebu Province trailed Bayawan, 3-1 in the second half although they scored first just seconds into the ballgame. But they were silenced by the Bayawan booters, who scored the equalizer before the break.

In the second half, Cebu Province’s goalkeeper conceded two more goals after repeatedly leaving his post but Cebu scored its second goal with 15 minutes left while a corner kick which resulted in a goalmouth scramble put the game in a 3-all draw.

In the penalty shooutout, Cebu Province's goalkeeper redeemed himself by scoring the first of three goals while Bayawan only managed two.

The Paref Springdale manned-elementary team also advanced to the finals versus Mandaue City's Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC).

Springdale annihilated Dumaguete, 5-0, while SHS-AdC blanked Bohol, 2-0.

In gymnastics, TCC’s secondary girls failed to duplicate the achievement of the boys’ team as they only managed a silver. Lapu-Lapu City dominated the Women's Artistic Gymnastics (WAG).

In taekwondo, the secondary girls and boys ruled their respective divisions.

Boys winners include Kyle John Flores (finweight), John Paul Tomarse (flyweight) and Brian Keith Fernandez (bantamweight).

The girls triumphed in five out of the six divisions courtesy of Asherah Nicole Dayuday (flyweight), Jean Maglasang (bantamweight), Angela Nicole Elpa (featherweight), Charisse Panaginip (lightweight) and Janica Crezilo Ybarra (Under 63 kg).

TENNIS

At the Praxevilla tennis courts, Sally Mae Siso of the University of San Carlos (USC) clinched the secondary girls singles title after trouncing Crissianne Kintanar of Cebu Province, 8-1.

Fritz Satera routed teammate Dan Eldred Cinco for the boys secondary singles title, 8-2 then teamed up to beat Ralph Julianne and Adrian Parangan of Cebu Province, 8-4, for the secondary doubles boys title.

The title in the distaff side was notched by Hanna Espinosa and her partner Christine Billeta after an 8-0 win over Maricar Balneg and Charline Mae dela Cruz of Cebu Province.

Arthur Craig Pantino defeated for the first time Christopher Encarnacion of Cebu Province, 8-4 in elementary boys singles but Jana Pages lost the girls crown to City of Naga's Zethley Mae Alferez, 6-8.

Maria Sheena Camporedondo and Shine Villareal dismissed Cebu Province's Karen Suico and Cheska Patindol, 8-5, for the elementary girls doubles title while John Godfrey Seno and Jermaine Carl Laurel took the elementary boys doubles title with an 8-2 win over Cebu Province's Jamel Ondoy and Melton John Ruelan.

At the Don Bosco gym, the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) secured the secondary girls volleyball title with a, 25-18, 25-13, 25-23 thrashing of Tanjay City while their elementary team, also manned by USJ-R, advanced to the finals with a, 25-15, 35-37, 25-13 semis win over Bohol Province. The University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF) will vie for a championship seat in the secondary boys crossover semifinals today against Carcar City.

Negros PNP Restores Environmental Officers

DUMAGUETE CITY, Philippines (PNA) – Negros Oriental Provincial Police director Sr. Supt. Rey Lyndon Lawas disclosed that plans are afoot to revive the Philippine National Police Environmental Desk Officers (PEDO) following a lull in their activities in the province.

According to Lawas, PEDOs need to be revitalized in the different police stations as many of them have already been reassigned elsewhere and the vacancies have not been filled up due to lack of properly trained police personnel on environmental issues and concerns.

The transfer of the PEDOs could not also be avoided as this is part of their career path, Lawas explained.

To respond to this predicament, Lawas is recommending for each police station to have a trained PEDO and an assistant so that in the event of a transfer, a replacement is immediately available.

Likewise, Lawas is also suggesting that clearance be obtained from the provincial Philippine National Police (PNP) office prior to a PEDO’s transfer of assignment to avoid leaving a vacancy behind.

Lawas attended the first monthly meeting recently with Negros Oriental Vice Gov. Roel Degamo and other members of the Provincial Wildlife Conservation Council (PWCC) to discuss plans for the month-long celebration and for a year-round schedule of activities as well.

One of the activities eyed is a seminar for PEDOs who will later be required to submit their respective list of activities for the coming months, said Lawas.

The provincial police director also said that there should be a cohesive plan of action for the PWCC, environmental groups, and government agencies like the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and other stakeholders so that environmental protection and conservation efforts in the province are consistent and unified.

Lawas said he will also consult the PWCC on identifying stakeholders and their respective tasks and functions, and mapping out a communications strategy to ensure a well-coordinated and quick response system in time of an urgent situation, such as during marine mammal stranding.

Environmental groups are now crying foul over the purported “butchering” of a baby whale shark or “butanding” in the coastal town of Amlan on October 26.

In that incident, the whale shark, (Rhincodon typus), was reportedly trapped in a fishpen and was allegedly shot dead by the owner of the fishpen.

Responding police and the town’s environment and natural resources officer said villagers had already cut up and divided the whale shark’s meat and only the head was retrieved for burial.

Police investigation showed that the baby “butanding” had sustained at least 30 bullet wounds in its body.

Lawas said this is a classic example where a highly coordinated effort among government agencies, non-government groups and the PNP is needed to strengthen and sustain environmental protection and conservation efforts in Negros Oriental.

Internet use in provinces catching up with Manila
TJ DIMACALI, GMANews.TV (http://www.gmanews.tv/story/204471/internet-use-in-provinces-catching-up-with-manila)
10/27/2010 | 04:18 PM

Provincial cities are catching up with Metro Manila in terms of internet use, according to a recent media study from The Nielsen Company.

Based on a rolling sample over the past year of males and females aged 10 and above across all socioeconomic classes, Metro Manila still showed the highest percentage of Internet users: as many as 40 percent of those surveyed went online in the past month.

However, close behind the capital city are Tuguegarao (37 percent), Olongapo (35 percent), Angeles (34 percent), and Dumaguete (33 percent) — each hosting a high concentration of tertiary schools and other educational institutions.

"Several factors are contributing to the rise of Internet usage across the country, particularly in urban centers outside Metro Manila," said Nielsen Media (Philippines) executive director Jay Bautista in an email interview with GMANews.TV.

He enumerated the following growth drivers:

* Proliferation of Internet café’s which allow even low-income consumers to go online
* Increase in the number of surplus PC shops (second-hand desktops and laptops from other countries)
* Decrease in access rates for DSL, availability of prepaid internet plug-ins
* Increase in the number of WiFi zones in commercial establishments
* Popularity of netbooks
* Popularity of BYO (build your own) PC’s
* Popularity of social networking sites (Facebook)
* Going online is proving to be a cheaper way to communicate with OFW’s or relatives who have migrated to other countries (Skype, etc.)

These factors play a key role in another important finding of the Nielsen study: the shift from shared Internet access to private access.

While Internet cafés continue to be the place of choice for going online, the number of people who patronize these establishments over the past three months dropped from 71 percent to 69 percent year-on-year. Access from school and work terminals has also declined, down to four and five percent, respectively.

In contrast, according to the Nielsen study, home usage has increased from 27 percent to 31 percent. And, most surprisingly, access via mobile devices (such as cellphones, personal digital assistants, and netbooks) went from zero just a year ago up to 5 percent in 2010.

The sharp rise in mobile Internet usage has been attributed to more affordable access rates and attractive tariffs from mobile telecommunications companies

Bautista said that Nielsen plans to look more closely into the phenomenon in an upcoming study.

"Next year we are planning to launch an internet café landscape study which will help us understand the nuances of urban cities," he said. - HS, GMANews.TV

Niños bag 18th CVIRAA title

By Mars G. Alison
Cebu Daily News First Posted 08:22:00 11/13/2010

Dumaguete City– The Cebu City Niños once again bested 18 other delegations to grab their 18th overall championship title in the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association (CVIRAA) meet, which ended yesterday.

Cebu City finished with 839.5 points, which was 38 more than the total score they posted in the previous CVIRAA meet held in Danao City, Cebu last February.

Despite also improving their accumulated points to 551.75, Cebu Province once again settled for a bridesmaid finish in the week long meet, whose winners form the core of the Central Visayas team to the Palarong Pambansa.

Bohol Province held on to third place by a hairline after accounting for 247.25 points, a mere .75 points ahead of new fourth placer Dumaguete City. Mandaue City barged into the top five with 222.5 points.

Cebu City’s secondary team accounted for 488 points while the elementary squad contributed 351.5 points.

The secondary division ruled arnis boys and girls; athletics boys and girls; badminton boys and girls; baseball, basketball, chess boys and girls; football; rhythmic sportive gymnastics (RSG); softball; swimming boys; table tennis boys; girls and boys and taekwondo; tennis boys and girls and volleyball boys and girls.

They lost in archery boys and girls to Dumaguete; and both men's artistic gymnastics (MAG) and women's artistic gymnastics (WAG) to Lapu-Lapu.

The elementary side, on the other hand, won in arnis girls; athletics boys; chess boys; football; MAG; WAG; softball; swimming boys and girls; taekwondo boys and girls and tennis boys and girls.

They lost in basketball to Mandaue City; boxing, which was dominated by Lapu-Lapu and Talisay; arnis boys; badminton boys; baseball; chess girls; RSG; sipa; table tennis girls and boys and volleyball boys and girls, which were all dominated by Cebu Province.

BASKETBALL CHAMPS

Paref Springdale proved its might on the court after routing host Dumaguete City, 90-58, in front of a boisterous home crowd at the Lamberto Macias Sports Complex.

Despite the attendance of Department of Education Regional Director Recaredo Borgonia, the game was marred by a slight controversy when the mother of a Dumaguete player tried to storm the Team Cebu City bench after her son fell hard to the floor during the game.

She was, however, held at bay by the tournament officials and the match continued.

The team which was reinforced by cagers from the University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF), University of San Carlos (USC) and University of Cebu (UC) was never challenged as they led all throughout the game and even led by as many as 35.

In football, the Niños bested Cebu Province, 2-1, courtesy of Miguel Caindec.

Cebu Province scored first through Edmar Madrilejo at the 6th minute.

In the second half, coach Glenn Ramos told his boys to play wings and change positions, which proved effective as they were able to penetrate Cebu Province's defense and allowed Caindec to score the first goal with 12 minutes remaining.

With the center midfielder continuing to play decoy, Caindec once again found the back of the net with less than five minutes in the ballgame, which sealed the Niños’ win.

Ramos said the last time he remembered the school representing Central Visayas team was in 2002 in Naga City, wherein they finished with a silver medal. Ramos said their goal now is to enter the finals.

Prior to DBTC's win, Paref Springdale of coach Mario Ceniza also made Cebu City proud after annihilating Mandaue City manned by booters from the Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC), 5-0.

Just like the DBTC, it has also been a long while since Springdale represented Central Visayas in the national game's elementary football competition.

Scoring for the Ninos were Sabin Veloso, Enzo Ceniza, Moiselle Alforque and Jimi Hausen, who scored twice.

City council cites Negros Oriental Gov. Perdices for honest leadership
(http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=312553)

DUMAGUETE CITY, Nov. 12 (PNA) – The City Council of Dumaguete on Thursday cited Negros Oriental Governor Agustin Perdices and honored him through a resolution of recognition and commendation.

Gov. Perdices arrived Wednesday afternoon from Manila after about two weeks of absence due to health reasons that warranted treatment in the nation's capital.

Perdices, former mayor of Dumaguete, received a warm welcome from city hall employees as well as from provincial officials and employees led by Vice Governor Roel Degamo.

Like his late father, Gov. Mariano Francisco Perdices, Gov. Agustin "Tuting" Perdices leaves behind, among several accomplishments, an unquestionable track of honest and incorruptible leadership.

The governor went directly to his previous office and talked with Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria before going to the session hall.

Vice Mayor Alan Cordova said history will tell that leaders especially politicians tend to receive more criticisms than commendations during their tenure, which he said is a sad fact.

The city council wanted to correct this imbalance between criticisms and commendations to give credit to the man for his 19 years of unblemished service to Dumaguetenos and to the province.

The city council also thanked the governor for his guidance to public servants and for inspiring them to achieve what they want as present leaders in the future.

In his response, Gov. Perdices said the vice mayor was right in stating that leaders are often dumped than praised.

The governor, however said, politicians have to accept this. "We know this is part of our job. Failure to accept this will be failure to accept our job," Perdices pointed out.

Perdices said that the resolution was something that he did not expect.

In an interview, Perdices admits his state of health is not 100 percent well. "I want to admit the fact that something is wrong with my health, but not that serious," the governor quipped.

Gov. Perdices had earlier admitted over a local radio interview that he had Stage 3 cancer of the stomach. (PNA)

I approached him and found out he was quite friendly. I asked that I take pictures of him, which he agreed to. He told me his journey in the Phils. started in Davao, then he biked through the ship to Cebu, then Dumaguete by bike. He stops along the way to sleep with his tents and change clothes and eat food with the things he is bringing along on his bike.

I told him why don't he invite publicity to gain money by what he is doing. He could do it for a cause like biking around the world for the environment. He told me he just wants to enjoy his journey, and not get so much attention. Hmmm, quite laudable hehehehe :)...

Pilgrim relic of Don Bosco visits RP

(http://www.cbcpnews.com/?q=node/13682)

MANILA, Nov. 14, 2010—The pilgrim relic of St. John Bosco is set to visit different cities in the country where the Salesians are present as part of a worldwide pilgrimage in preparation for the celebration of the saint’s bicentenary of birth.

Aside from Salesian schools and parishes, the relic will also make a stop in some cathedrals where majority of the faithful can view the relic and pray to the saint.

Fr. Pascual Chavez SDB, the Rector Major of the Salesians had directed the worldwide pilgrimage hoping “to renew the desire to know and love the Father and Teacher of Youth and reignite the passion and mission for the young in preparation for the bicentenary celebration of St. John Bosco’s birth on August 16, 2015.”

A resin replica of the body of St. John Bosco, the relic contains the saint’s right hand in a sealed case and inserted at the chest of the sculpture.

A light truck specifically made for the occasion is being used to transport the relic as it goes from one city to another.

The relic will be in the country from December 5, 2010 to January 15, 2011 and will stop in the following cities.

Negros: Bacolod City Cathedral, St. John Bosco Parish-Mambucal, December 5; Don Bosco-Victorias, December 6-7; Kabankalan Cathedral, December 8; St. Louis School-Don Bosco and Dumaguete Cathedral, December 9-11.

Cebu: Our Lady of Lourdes-Punta Princesa, December 12; Don Bosco Technology Center, December 13-16; Don Bosco Boys’ Home-Liloan, December 17; Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral, Don Bosco Youth Center-Pasil, December 18; Don Bosco Formation Center-Talisay City, December 20-23.

Metro Manila I: St. John Bosco Parish-Makati, December 23; San Ildefonso Parish- Makati, December 24-26; Don Bosco Youth Center-Tondo, December 26-27.

Southern Luzon: Legazpi City Cathedral, December 28-29; Tuloy sa Don Bosco-Alabang, December 30; St. John Bosco Parish-Sta. Rosa, Laguna, December 31-January 1; San Pablo Cathedral-Laguna, January 2-3; Don Bosco College-Canlubang, Laguna, January 3-5.

Metro Manila II: Don Bosco Technical Institute-Makati, January 5-6; Don Bosco Technical College-Mandaluyong, January 6-8.

Central Luzon: Don Bosco Training Center-San Jose City, San Jose Cathedral, January 8-10; Don Bosco Techical Institute-Tarlac, San Sebastian Cathedral-Tarlac, January 10-12; Don Bosco Academy-Mabalacat, San Fernando Cathedral-Pampanga, January 12-14; Shrine of Mary Help of Christians-Paranaque, January 14-15.

From the Philippines, the pilgrim relic will proceed to Vietnam and other countries of the East Asia-Oceania region. (CBCPNews)

This has been a monthly habit for Convergys to hunt talents here in the city. i hope no one showed up on those dates and if there were, i hope the expressed their thoughts that it is better to have the facility here so that our talents wont have to go out serve another city and be separated from their families... :D

But it's ok Nick....according to my sources (20 friends and previous officemates) what they're up to is the experience and the relocation allowance :lol::lol::lol:..once it's already given...then all they have to do is to tender their resignation ug pauli sa syudad sa Dumaguete :lol::lol::lol:.

Those that remain are the bigwigs and I hope they will be instrumental in bringing CVG here...Imagine the very brother of the Silliman President being one of the managers in that facility.

Clee Andro Villamor (http://www.facebook.com/cleeandro)

Sandurot Festival is a colorful, annual revelry to commemorate its lore dating pre-Hispanic period — the convergence of foreign peoples (Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese, etc.) and the assimilation of diverse cultures into her shores. Sandurot means, "fellowship and reaching out." This unique festival has become the basis of an old world's hospitality that we now know today in Dumaguete City. A city looking back into the way they lived, their thoughts, their hopes, their dreams, and their lives; from the perspectives of a human endeavor to a more complex society it has molded today.

Sandurot provides a very significant understanding into the religious-cultural origins of this university-city: the veneration of Dumaguete City's patroness, St. Catherine de Alexandria (Patroness Saint of the Philosophers.) Dumaguete City is a lodestar today. Not only she is known as the "city of gentle people," but a city of knowledge.

"A thriving enlightenment and stellar embrace of the culture and the arts" are the defining characteristics of this city. Dumaguete City is a melting pot of the literati; students and professionals alike; the artists and the scholars.

Weaving the various legends into one narrative, through this dance pageantry celebration, the uncanny lore of St. Catherine de Alexandria is told countless times: How she saved the whole place from the constant attacks of the marauders — by sending endless swarms of bees to keep the attackers at bay.

The vast majority of the early Dumagueteños lived in an existence of fear from marauding pirates. A bell tower (a popular architectural landmark, which still stands today, just beside the cathedral of St. Catherine, fronting the Quezon Park) was built to serve as a sentinel against those who kidnapped the girls and women of the place. Hence, Dumaguete comes from the infamous word, "daggit" (to snatch, kidnap or steal.)

I was looking at this ordinary but industrial looking cellsite. At first glance, it looks just like any other cellsites that you see around. But at closer inspection, you can see that it has a lot of those big and small dishes, probably for different signal transmission such as 3G, HSDPA, ordinary cellular transmssion, etc. And most interestingly, you can see hundreds of birds perched on top of those metals that consist the cellsite's metal structure.

(Now, am thankful for the zoom capabilities of my camera because otherwise this kind of photography would not have been possible).

ritche

November 15th, 2010, 03:31 AM

I think this is Globe's. Globe has better facilities and network here in the city than Smart's. Most of its cellsites here are 3G capable, unlike that of Smart that only a small number of its cellsites in the city are 3G capable. It has therefore capabilities for diversified mode of signal transmission which is good for different kinds of people, especially those using wifi.

^^ yum! i have yet to try frogurts!..:) im sure ponsing, a big froyo fan, has tried it... what's your verdict, pons?.. ;)

but looking at the variety and kinds of their toppings, i say Tangy Swirl has better selections.. they have imported syrups, baby ruth crumbles, hershey's chocolate chips, crunch crumbles, oreos, almonds, cashews, etc... murag nips and local cereals ra man ng sa frogurts? hehehe

but in the end, its not the toppings that would matter... its ultimately the frozen yogurt that would matter! i hope frogurts will give us more choices other than original tart...

VM Cordova to run the DAM
By Alex Pal

Many people may know of Dumaguete Vice Mayor Alan Gel Cordova as a West Pointer, Lawyer and former Dumaguete City Councilor. But perhaps not as many know this trim public official as a running buff.

Cordova will be joining wellness enthusiasts when he runs in the 10.5K segment of the Rice is Life Dumaguete Adventure Marathon on Sunday, Nov. 21.

The DAM, dubbed as Foundation University's gift to Dumaguete City on the occasion of its charter day and fiesta, will definitely fill Dumaguete's streets with runners, as some 3000 have already signed up for the event. The DAM is now on its second year, but Foundation University has been organizing runs for Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental, in cooperation with the Metro Dumaguete Road Runner's Club for the past several years.

The Adventure Marathon itself, reaching 31.5 kilometers, will take runners from Robinson's Dumaguete to Pulangtubig, Camanjac, Calabnugan in Sibulan and barangays Balili, Cambucad, Pulangbago and Palinpinon in Valencia before heading back for the finish at Robinson's.

There will also be shorter categories, the 10.5k, 5k and 3k for other participants.

Robinson's Dumaguete Mall is one of the sponsors of this event, which proudly advocates rice conservation as its advocacy. The Philippine Rice Research Institute, another major sponsor, has given several sacks of rice to be given out as prizes for the winners.

After the run on Sunday morning, the action will shift to the activity center of Robinson's Dumaguete Mall for the Rice is Life cookfest. Several contestants from Dumaguete's colleges and universities will compete on making dishes out of rice.

Registration may be done online at the Dumaguetemarathon.com website

SPUD students do internships abroad
By Rafael Duhaylungsod

As the first ISO-certified educational institution in the Visayas and Mindanao, as well as being a Level III accredited school by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges & Universities (PAASCU), St. Paul University Dumaguete is sending more of its students for their practicum and on- job-trainings abroad.

Last year, eight HRM and Business students left for the US for their training program. Five other HRM students went to Singapore for their their OJT.
In 2008, St. Paul sent five HRM students to the US, while the College of Arts & Education also sent their students to Thailand for their practice teaching. In 2007, 15 students taking up BS Hotel & Restaurant, BS Management Accounting, and BS Management Marketing went to the states of Arizona, Ohio, Florida, Utah, and Wisconsin for their training.

Meanwhile, the SPUD College of Nursing continues to maintain its reputation as one the top performing nursing schools in the country with its consistent 100 percent passing rate in the nursing board examinations. Its graduating students get their training from partner hospitals in Negros Oriental, and Perpetual Succour Hospital in Cebu. Perpetual Succour, like St. Paul University, is under the management of the SPC Sisters.

Rwanda and La Union visits
By Leo R. Macalipay

The District Mayor along with his Department heads for Treasury and Accounting of one of the districts of Rwanda in Africa visited the Dumaguete City Hall the past week to learn about how our tax system was formulated and how it is being implemented.

The guests from Rwanda were met by City Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria, City Administrator William Ablong, and the City Treasurer.

The Dumaguete City Integrated Tax Management System is a computerized database which could assess the cost of real properties and provide corresponding tax and collection mechanisms. It also includes licensing fees, and other related collections due to the City government.

Although Dumaguete is still halfway in its full implementation of the tax system, it has been proven effective thus far, as it provides easy access to tax payers and thus, provides accurate assessment of taxable amount of corresponding real properties and licenses.

If friends from other countries of the world are coming to Dumaguete City and the province of Negros Oriental to learn from us in various aspects of governance and community service, we must be doing something good.

*****

Seven mayors from the province of La Union also breezed into town to talk with our City officials.

City Mayor Pablo C. Ortega San Fernando, Mayor Sandra Eriquel of Agro, Mayor Jose Abansiof Burgos, Mayor Ferdinand Tumbaga of Bagulin, Mayor Noemi Balloguing of Pugo, Mayor Marietta Carbonell of Sto. Tomas, Mayor Eulogio Clarence Martin de Guzman of Banez, along with the heads of the La Union Provincial Agriculturist’s Office, the Provincial Health Office, Provincial Administrator’s Office, Provincial Engineer’s, Provincial Tourism Office, and the Provincial Information Office were in Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental to learn and observe from our management of the Waste Segregation & Collection Services, our Waste Treatment facilities at Quezon Park, and our Septage Treatment Plant in Camanjac.

They said they were amazed at how we successfully established a network of support groups- Stakeholders and partners in our quest for environmental protection and maintenance programs, and ho we came up with our waste reduction management and strategies.

Our guests were surprised how the City’s more than 30 tons of garbage can be collected daily by only 25 environmental technicians, also called garbage men, equipped with only four dump trucks.

That can only be effective management.

^^ yum! i have yet to try frogurts!..:) im sure ponsing, a big froyo fan, has tried it... what's your verdict, pons?.. ;)

but looking at the variety and kinds of their toppings, i say Tangy Swirl has better selections.. they have imported syrups, baby ruth crumbles, hershey's chocolate chips, crunch crumbles, oreos, almonds, cashews, etc... murag nips and local cereals ra man ng sa frogurts? hehehe

but in the end, its not the toppings that would matter... its ultimately the frozen yogurt that would matter! i hope frogurts will give us more choices other than original tart.

am i too obvious that im a Tangy Swirl fan? haha. but im excited to try frogurts... :) yeah!

It's among my favorites Nick, a bit tarter than any of the froyos I've tried in Cebu. They have the usual fruit toppings too (cherry, strawberry, etc.) but no mochi, kiwi or red beans. BTW, I heard Tangy Swirl closed.
