Fiber-rich City

Dumaguete's telco infrastructure qualifies it to ride on the growth of global outsourcing industry

By Dominique Cimafranca

One secret that will serve Dumaguete well in its ambitions is the telecommunications infrastructure in the city. Unknown to many, Dumaguete actually has a robust high-capacity network already in place. This network consists of microwave links and a fiber-optic backbone which connect the city not only to Manila and Cebu City, but to Mindanao and other islands, as well.

The fiber optic links going into Dumaguete are among the best for a city outside of Metro Manila. The total capacity of these fiber links is a whopping 320 Gbps* which translates to 4.5 million high quality data and voice lines – a capacity which can accommodate five million call center agents.

Bandwidth-hungry outsourcing businesses such as call centers, transcription services, and digital post-production will find ample room for growth for their telecommunication needs.

Redundancy is another key feature of Dumaguete’s telco infrastructure. Dumaguete is a landing site for the fiber optic backbone networks of Globe Telecommunications, as well as Telecphil – the national consortium of telco providers. In addition, microwave communications supplement the links, assuring that service businesses need not fear outages caused by a downed cable.

Investment promotion is going full-speed ahead for Dumaguete with the coordinated efforts of local government, national agencies, and non-government organizations. Already boasting of topnotch graduates, the city is well positioned for growth in the booming international services outsourcing industry.

*320 gbps and growing...

I think Mitsubishi is the biggest dealer here, but Kia is not doing bad as it was awarded one of the best Kia dealerships in the country this year. I heard Nissan and Toyota will soon move to newer showrooms. Chevrolet is temporarily closed as they are scouting for a newer site...

that makes it 6 car manufacturer's who have set up dealerships with showrooms in Dumaguete.

1) Mitsubishi
2) Toyota
3) Nissan
4) Kia
5) Isuzu
6) Chevrolet

i hope Suzuki will soon display their cars at their high-tech showroom in Buñao to make it 7 :banana:

There is also going to be a giant Christmas Tree at Quezon Park ball field. Taller than the one at RPD or at Sidlakang Negros. Funded by the city at a whopping cost of 1 million. Hmmm.. I wonder how will it look.

Next Wave Cities for 2010 Recognized


By Emmanuel Amador
June 29, 2010

The best IT and business process outsourcing (BPO) locations in the Philippines were feted awards at the Recognition Night for the Top Ten Next Wave Cities 2010, held at the Cebu Sports Club last June 22 in Cebu City. Topping this year’s list was Davao City, followed by Sta. Rosa (Laguna) and Bacolod City.

The ranking was based on the Next Wave Cities (NWC) scorecard, an evaluation system established by the Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPA/P), the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT), and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Iloilo City, Metro Cavite, Lipa City, Cagayan de Oro City, Malolos City, Baguio City and Dumaguete City placed fourth to tenth on the list respectively.

In addition to naming the Top 10 BPO locations, the NWC evaluation also moved Angeles-Clark from Next Wave City status to an Established IT-BPO Hub, joining Metro Manila and Metro Cebu. Metro Cebu and Metro Clark were also recognized as Centers for Excellence.

The general criteria of the 2010 NWC scorecard are the availability of graduates and workers, infrastructure, cost, and business environment. These criteria were further broken down to consider relevant factors such as the presence of higher educational institutions, capacity to absorb new employment requirements, quality of roads, access to domestic and international air travel, the presence of fiber-optic network providers, availability of property sites, cost of labor and office space, regulatory fees and taxes, vulnerability to natural disasters, reliability of utilities, the peace and order situation, and the presence of PEZA-approved facilities and ICT councils.

In a short presentation during the event, CICT Secretary Ray Anthony Roxas-Chua III noted the importance of the IT-BPO sector to the continued growth of the region. Chua pointed out that the sector had not only recovered from the global financial crisis, but was still growing and providing more jobs that allowed workers to stay in the Philippines.

BPA/P CEO Oscar Sañez followed up with another presentation on managing IT-BPO growth through the NWC initiative. He noted that the availability of qualified and competent local talent was still the most important factor for choosing the Philippines as an outsourcing location.

Guys, i had enough of this CvC. I tendered my own initiative with them. Hopefully, they'll have a positive response. And i wish that you'll also support my move. Let's move on Dumaguete, without bitterness in our hearts.

But if they will still be hostile and belligerent towards us, dedma na lang. The better part of valor is silence.

What's important is that we are very happy with our city and province's steady progress, and with that, nobody can pull us down :)

Good morning guys, i posted my apology na sa Tac thread. It's the holiday season na, it's time for peace. Let's go back to promoting our city :).

From now on, let's ban these terms from our forum: 3rd class city and HUC. Please.

PDIC conducts road show
BY RENE GENOVE
Monday, December 13, 2010

The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation recently conducted the “Be a Wise Saver” roadshow at the Silliman University, in Dumaguete City.

The PDIC-led road show, participated in by about 800 banking majors and other college students and teachers from nine tertiary schools, seeks to educate the public on basic banking know-how that help make for more informed financial decisions such as in the choice of bank, and the choice of appropriate banking products.

The campaign promotes the seven habits of a wise saver which aims to protect savers from fraudulent schemes. They are: know your bank; know your bank products; know your bank’s services and fees; keep your bank records safe and updated; transact only inside the bank with authorized bank personnel; be informed about PDIC deposit insurance; and be cautious.

Degamo challenges Negros Oriental PNP to perform better with new firearms, equipment and more financial assistance
by Dumaguete News and Editorial Photos Network on Monday, December 13, 2010 at 12:16pm

BY: JUDY FLORES-PARTLOW FOR PNA



– Acting Gov. Roel Degamo on Monday challenged members of the Negros Oriental Provincial Police Office to demonstrate improved crime-fighting capabilities and present better accomplishments following the arrival of new firearms and other equipment from the Philippine National Police hierarchy.



Degamo, guest speaker during Monday’s flag-raising ceremony and symbolic hand-over of the said items at Camp Fernandez in Agan-an, Sibulan town, about 20 minutes drive north of here, also reassured that the provincial government will continue supporting the Negros Oriental PNP through financial and other forms of assistance.



Sr. Supt. Louie Oppus, PNP deputy regional director for operations and Sr. Supt. Augusto Marquez, Jr., PNP deputy regional director for intelligence, were also present during the symbolic turn-over of the firearms and other equipment which comprise part of a larger package of the PNP to fully equip the police units in the country with the necessary tools to effectively combat criminality.



Provincial police director Sr. Supt. Rey Lyndon Lawas received on behalf of the NOPPO the items that were to be distributed to the different police units in the province, although prioritizing the elite units such as the Special Weapons and Tactics Team.



These include 30 pieces of M-4 rifle (the advanced version of the M16 armalite rifle), four (4) pieces of Magnum semi-automatic shotgun, 28 pieces of 9-millimeter Glock pistols, ten (10) gas masks, 30 pairs of handcuffs, two (2) bull horns, two (2) high-powered search lights, two tape recorders, one video camera, and one tripod.



Six assorted pistols from the SWAT team are also to be given to the tourist police following the arrival of new weapons.



Acting Gov. Degamo, who lauded Sr. Supt. Lawas for implementing programs and projects in partnership with the community to enhance their capabilities, said that Capitol will not hesitate to provide assistance to the police so as not to delay their tasks.



“You no longer have reasons not to perform better especially with our commitment to support you,” said Degamo.



He also reminded the police personnel to respect humanity and not let pride overtake them while dishing out their day-to-day functions in protecting the community. (PNA) JFP

Open na ang G by Guess?
If open na, how's the price of their items?
Same lang ng regular Guess Stores sa Pinas?

Just a little lower in price, a pair of pants costs around Php2,800 against Guess' Php3,000...But the boutique is really nice, not inferior to their American counterparts as the modules were imported from the US...I like their shirts which cost around Php700 to 900...

^^Thanks ritche!:okay:
Hope you or other Dumzville-based forumers can post pics of this store sa thread.

BTW, may regular Guess Store din ba sa RPD?

Wala pa... Hopefully soon, because there are still spaces that are vacant at Robinsons, or maybe in the upcoming SM mall or whatever...

Darating din 'yan sa Dumzville, ang lakas yata ng consumer market niyo diyan.:)

OK na 'yan for now, wala ngang G store sa Bacolod.

BPO, ICT remain economic growth drivers of Central Visayas

By Minerva BC Newman

Cebu, Philippines (12 December) -- The business process outsourcing, the information and communication technology industries and its related IT-enabled services remain the economic growth drivers of Central Visayas.

This was contained in a 1st semester Central Visayas Regional Economic Situationer that the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA-7) in the region distributed to the members during the last full council meeting of the Regional Development Council on December 10, 2010 at the Elizabeth Hotel, Cebu City.

The NEDA-7 report read that in the 1st semester of 2010, six (6) BPO companies?People support, Epson, Teletech, Convergys, Qualfon and Exist Global expanded their operations in the region.

The report added that there were also three (3) new BPO-ICT firms that opened in the region. IBM-Philippines, for instance expands its presence here via the opening of its global delivery center for application services in Cebu.

JP Morgan Chase & Co. and the Thakral Group opened their ICT facilities at Asiatown IT Park that would address the IT needs of businesses in Central Visayas.

Data from the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) showed that as of May 2010, there are already 91 locators and over 44 call centers in nineteen (19) IT Parks or centers operating in the region.

Cebu's Asiatown IT Park is the country's second largest IT industry concentration. It has employed around 15,066 people with an estimated total compensation of over P1.4-Billion.

Some BPO companies are now looking at Negros Oriental for their expansion. The province is becoming a preferred location for provincial branch business operations, according to the Negros Oriental investment promotion center.

The Board of Investments (BOI) also reported that for the second half of 2010, twelve (12) projects are located in the region with an estimated investment cost of P1.30-Billion. This is higher compared to the P655-Million investment cost registered in the 1st semester of 2009, the BOI reported. (PIA-7/mbcn)

read an article written by the famous Filipino architect Felino Palafox, and i noticed that the original schedule for the completion & opening of Robinsons Place Dumaguete was October 2007, but because of the soft quality of the soil in the area, they had to enlist the services of French and German construction experts Freysinnet Group and Bauer AG (the builders of the Petronas Twin Towers).

I'm sure RLC spent a lot of money on the services of these multinational companies, just for us to enjoy a full-service mall that we have now.. Thanks to RLC for pursuing the project until it finally opened last November 2009 :cheers:

Pons, if it is a public place that you're standing in to take a shot (street, sidewalk, park, etc.), then they don't have the right to prevent you from taking photos.. but if you're inside a private establishment and they restrict you, it is legal but they have no right to take your film or memory card even if you've already taken some pictures, all they can do is to reprimand you, nothing else.. an example would be Ayala Avenue in Makati, since it is sitting on private land where picture-taking is prohibited, the security guards only have the right to tell you that it's not allowed and to shoo you away, but if they take any paraphernalia from you or detain you, then you can sue them for theft, coercion, and illegal detention.

Another Negrense is PH Outstanding Cop (http://www.negroschronicle.com/?p=11487)

http://www.negroschronicle.com/images/dec_12_10/Another%20Negrense%20is%20PH%20Outstanding%20.jpg

CO3 EDILBERTO “JUN” EURAOBA II from the PNP in Negros Oriental was awarded by Pres ident and outstanding national policemen in the entire country for2010. He is the second from Negros Oriental, the first being PO2 JOVY LACANDULA, national awardee last year.

Euraoba is the PNP public information officer while Lacandula is the city PNP women’s desk officer. It is not usual that Negros Oriental PNP COMMAND officer gets this prestigious police award for two consecutive years. It only indicates how the community supports police work that make outstanding policemen.

Coming from various regions across the nation, named 10 outstanding policemen were: Supt. Leo Francisco of Taguig City; Supt. Florencio Ortilla of Davao City; Supt. Noel Ponsaran of Davao City; Supt. Sidney Villaflor of San Jose City, Nueva Ecija; PO3 Edilberto Euraoba II of Sibulan, Negros Oriental; PO3 Shella Mae Sangrines of Iloilo City; PO3 Zoraida Aripin of Zamboanga City; PO3 Joey Castillon of Tobias Fornier, Antique; SPO2 Hermie Raymundo of Lingayen, Pangasinan; and PO3 Roel Paclibar of Tacurong City, Sultan Kudarat.

Aside from the trophy they received from the President, each awardee also got a cash prize of P250,000 from the Metrobank Foundation. Also, the awardees received the Medalya ng Katangitanging Gawa from the PNP as an added recognition of their exemplary feats. From a pool of almost 100 nominees, the awardees went through a rigorous screening process which involved documents review and a panel interview.

Among the board of judges of the 2010 search are the following: Justice Secretary Leila De Lima as co-chairman, Supreme Court Justice Mariano Del Castillo, Dr. Jose Ma. Arsenio Mariano, president of the University of Asia and the Pacific; Atty. Eusebio Tan, president of the Management Association of the Philippines; Atty. Jose Tale, chairman of the Couples for Christ; Paul Shafer, resident representative of the Hanss Seidel Foundation; and Joel Reyes Zobel, a broadcast journalist from Super Radyo DZBB of GMA network.

President Benigno S. Aquino III challenged this year’s outstanding policemen and women to continue their good work as his administration is working doubly hard to improve the economy and the Filipinos’ standard of living.

“Just take the righteous path and I will take care of the rest,” the President said in his impromptu speech at the awarding rites of the Country’s Outstanding Policemen in Service (COPS) on Wednesday afternoon at Malacanang’s Ceremonial Hall.

The President said he had ordered National Police Chief Director General Raul Bacalzo to improve the arms capability of the police force and increase its budget for training.

He added that Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo is currently coordinating with the National Housing Authority to fasttrack the application of the Philippine National Police (PNP) for decent housing units.Meanwhile, Metrobank Foundation president Aniceto Sobrepena said the 2010 COPS are all model citizens that can inspire fellow Filipinos to take the straight and righteous path that the Aquino administration is now promoting.

“These outstanding policemen and women are a testament to our police force’s dedication to their sworn duty and professionalism towards performing their responsibilities,” Sobrepena said.

In behalf of the awardees, Police Supt. Leo Francisco, chief of the Regional Police Intelligence and Operations Unit of the National Capital Region said that “as policemen we have the authority to enforce the law among the people and yet, to be relevant and responsive, we must always be mindful that the authority actually emanates from the people’s mandate.” (PNA)

Blurred ang pics pero maganda nga ang store nila.:)

Anybody willing to help? The Admin of the Azkals (National Football Team) facebook account is asking about the capacity of Perdices Coliseum. If the capacity meets international standards (30,000 - AFF Suzuki Cup standards), then maybe he could suggest to the Azkals & PFF that Perdices Coliseum should be considered as one of the future venue of international football tournaments. Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City is one of the leading contenders. Hopefully someone could ask the Province about the capacity and some pics of the coliseum, and visit their facebook account. And, hopefully we could host one of their games and watch them play live.

Watch the 1st Semi-final game AFF Suzuki CEp 2010 between Philippines (Azkals) Vs Indonesia on thursday 8 PM Star Sports. Go Azkals!

NEGROS ORIENTAL GEARS UP FOR XMAS

DUMAGUETE CITY, Philippines – To give fun and entertainment this Yuletide season, the provincial government of Negros Oriental is gearing to launch its ‘Pasko sa Sidlakan 2010’ at this city’s Sidlakan Negros Village, a one-stop tourism center in the province.

The village features tourist booths or pavilions for all towns and cities in the whole province where visitors can inquire on the different tourist destination in the province including their native delicacies.

A total of 16 bands in the province will parade in this city’s main streets to compete for the best band during the opening salvo of this year’s Pasko sa Sidlakan.

Meanwhile, one of the big events for the celebration is the Grand Sayawit Festival in which eight participating local government units (LGUs) will perform their customs and traditions through choral and dance production numbers.

The eight LGUs that committed to join the event include this city, Bayawan City, Guihulngan, Pamplona, Amlan, Valencia, Dauin and Canlaon City. (Phoebe Jen Indino)

Even if no new BPO companies will invest here, we rest assured that the existing ones continually expand. I'm thankful SPi is bullish about its Dumaguete facility. Aside from Book Solutions, in 2011 they'll operate the city's 3rd medical transcription account/firm (after RDSI and Intellibiz Solutions).

^^IMHO, I think Perdices Coliseum is a little bigger and can hold more fans than Panaad Stadium of Bacolod City which can hold 20,000 fans. Yeah, its not yet finished, but I think its already capable of hosting big events like International friendly match featuring the Azkals(Philippine National Team) against our ASEAN neighbors. Our main problem will be the lights because Panaad Stadium didnt also pass the AFF standard(lights). AFF matches are usually done at night. But if our very active Provincial Government hears about this, I think they wont let it slip away and they might install adequate lights that will meet the international standards given by AFF and soon we will be watching live international football. Whoot.. whoot..:banana:

No disrspect to our ilonggo bros, your stadium is one of the best in the country. We just want to offer an alternative venue for the Azkals. peace:)

Pons, if it is a public place that you're standing in to take a shot (street, sidewalk, park, etc.), then they don't have the right to prevent you from taking photos.. but if you're inside a private establishment and they restrict you, it is legal but they have no right to take your film or memory card even if you've already taken some pictures, all they can do is to reprimand you, nothing else.. an example would be Ayala Avenue in Makati, since it is sitting on private land where picture-taking is prohibited, the security guards only have the right to tell you that it's not allowed and to shoo you away, but if they take any paraphernalia from you or detain you, then you can sue them for theft, coercion, and illegal detention.



definitely worth all the wait migo.. i was still in college way back 2005-2006 when the preliminary civil works were done :)

it's really a mall which stands out in terms of architectural design.. not the generic boxy rectangular or square lay-out that is common in Philippine malls.. it's more reminiscent of the suburban malls in the US.. but it's nowhere near resembling Wal-Mart or Target though, hehehe :lol:

No disrspect to our ilonggo bros, your stadium is one of the best in the
country. We just want to offer an alternative venue for the Azkals. peace:)

Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City

Both fields are roughly the same size (based on the pics, not sure) but Panaad appears to have more seats. Doesn't really matter anyway. Basta sa Negros i-hold. Pwede pud sa Mt. Kanlaon crater sila magdula ^^.

it's too late to lobby Perdices Coliseum to the AFF for that matter because our booters are now in Jakarta as we speak :lol:

But anyway, it should be a priority for the Provincial Govt. since the infrastructure is already in place and it only needs fine tuning to suit much bigger standards

Panaad is also great since it already hosted footbal games of the 2005 SEA Games. basta Negros, aprub! :okay:

Even if no new BPO companies will invest here, we rest assured that the existing ones continually expand. I'm thankful SPi is bullish about its Dumaguete facility. Aside from Book Solutions, in 2011 they'll operate the city's 3rd medical transcription account/firm (after RDSI and Intellibiz Solutions).

Very well said.....as a matter of fact...the higher management is planning to move all works from Manila Facility to Dumaguete City......

For the information of everybody....Book solutions of SPI global was being done in India....Indian Nationals were here last week for the transition of this project....

^^IMHO, I think Perdices Coliseum is a little bigger and can hold more fans than Panaad Stadium of Bacolod City which can hold 20,000 fans. Yeah, its not yet finished, but I think its already capable of hosting big events like International friendly match featuring the Azkals(Philippine National Team) against our ASEAN neighbors. Our main problem will be the lights because Panaad Stadium didnt also pass the AFF standard(lights). AFF matches are usually done at night. But if our very active Provincial Government hears about this, I think they wont let it slip away and they might install adequate lights that will meet the international standards given by AFF and soon we will be watching live international football.

Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City

Hmmm, I didn't know that, thanks for the info, bai. I'd still choose to avoid arguing with them. Don't want people to see me get shooed away, it's embarrassing :lol:.

it's too late to lobby Perdices Coliseum to the AFF for that matter because our booters are now in Jakarta as we speak :lol:

But anyway, it should be a priority for the Provincial Govt. since the infrastructure is already in place and it only needs fine tuning to suit much bigger standards

Panaad is also great since it already hosted footbal games of the 2005 SEA Games. basta Negros, aprub! :okay:

Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City is already capable of hosting international events....while ours is still under construction..... I am also hoping that the current provincial government will give much attention to this.

Para...if we talk about football thingy...Negros Island is the place to be....... right?

I think it only takes Php10 to 20 million for us to make our Perdices Coliseum come up and be prepared for this international football competition standard...Which is very affordable for our provincial government as it spends some amount every year to finish this coliseum. If not it could always ask the PCSO or any sports related government agency for funding...

Anybody willing to help? The Admin of the Azkals (National Football Team) facebook account is asking about the capacity of Perdices Coliseum. If the capacity meets international standards (30,000 - AFF Suzuki Cup standards), then maybe he could suggest to the Azkals & PFF that Perdices Coliseum should be considered as one of the future venue of international football tournaments. Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City is one of the leading contenders. Hopefully someone could ask the Province about the capacity and some pics of the coliseum, and visit their facebook account. And, hopefully we could host one of their games and watch them play live.

Watch the 1st Semi-final game AFF Suzuki CEp 2010 between Philippines (Azkals) Vs Indonesia on thursday 8 PM Star Sports. Go Azkals!

I never thought that they would come this far. Kudos to PH Football Team.

Very well said.....as a matter of fact...the higher management is planning to move all works from Manila Facility to Dumaguete City......

For the information of everybody....Book solutions of SPI global was being done in India....Indian Nationals were here last week for the transition of this project....

So they are making good the notion of the possibility of making Dumaguete an HQ or base for SPi Global operations...

FAAP AWARDS SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY "INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITATION", THE HIGHEST DISTINCTION GIVEN TO A HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION

The Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP) has granted Institutional Accreditation to Silliman University, making Silliman the first and only school in the Visayas, and one of only five in the Philippines, to have such prestige.

Institutional Accreditation is the highest distinction awarded a higher education institution, in consideration of its number of high-level accreditation of its individual academic programs and overall evaluation of the quality of the university's facilities, services, and faculty. The University continues to be the school in the Philippines with the highest number of accredited programs.

Silliman also takes pride in being one of select universities in the Philippines granted Full Autonomous status by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), giving it authority to develop its own programs without the necessary approval of CHED. This, on top of other CHED-designated distinctions:

Center of Excellence in Teacher Education
Center of Excellence in Nursing Education
Center of Development in Accountancy
Center of Development in Biology
Center of Development in Information Technology Education

LETTER OF SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT DR. BEN S. MALAYANG III TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DEANS, DIRECTORS, UNIT HEADS, FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS AND ALUMNI

13 December 2010

Dear Colleagues and Friends:

It is with deep gratitude to God and to all of you in our University, and to all our alumni and friends who have continued to love and support our school, that I share with you a good news.

After an exhaustive evaluation lasting almost a year, the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP) confirmed this morning the granting to Silliman the status of Institutional Accreditation. This is the highest accreditation granted to a school in the country over and above individual program accreditations. This accreditation status has only been recently established in the Philippines.

With this, Silliman would be so far the first and only school in the Visayas that shall have been conferred this accreditation status. We continue to be the school with the highest number of accredited programs in the country.

On behalf of all of us, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation and congratulations to Dr. Betsy Joy B. Tan, Vice President for Academic Affairs, and her team in the academic leadership of the University who led our efforts to acquire this accreditation status. I wish to also acknowledge the invaluable support of the Finance and Administration sector of Silliman, headed by Vice President for Finance and Administration Cleonico Y. Fontelo. Not the least, I wish to acknowledge our past President, Dr. Agustin A. Pulido, who, among many things he did to move our University forward, started the current accreditation initiatives in the University.

Truly this is one very nice Christmas gift to the University.

NORSU clinches 100% in Architect board (http://www.negroschronicle.com/?p=11520)

“An added feather for NORSU’s cap.” The Negros Oriental State University (NORSU) fared well again after all its three examinees of the recently concluded Architect Licensure Examination (Middle East) passed the board exam.

The successful Norsunian examinees were Architects Antonio C. Dicipulo, Cipriano M. Dinglasa, Alvin L. Villanueva.

The university mustered a 100 percent passing rate compared to the 51.98 percent overall passing rate set by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).

Christmas is 10 days from now. Why did it take them so long to decide on setting one up?

the start of the construction was delayed because the budget allocation was vehemently questioned by some opposition councilors. And now, Mayor Sagarbarria is in hot water because that xmas tree costs an exorbitant Php1,000,000.00

Some say the money should just have been spent to feed the less fortunate in the city.

Journey of Rizal

Stopovers in Dumaguete

The steamer anchors quite near the shore because of the great depth of the water. Dumaguete spreads out on the beach. There are big houses, some with galvanized iron roofing… I observed that the people of Dumaguete are fond of decorating their houses with plants and flowers.

– From Rizal’s diary, August 1, 1896

After hearing piano music amidst colonial homes and lush greenery, Dr Rizal likened Dumaguete to a little European town. It is no surprise that travelers time and again find it impossible not to fall in love with this southern settlement in Negros Oriental. Much of the old-world charm survives in the “City of Gentle People” that is supported by magnificent green acacias, historic churches and period buildings like the Victorian-style Silliman Hall, the oldest standing American structure in the country, today, an anthropology museum.

Even the sun seems to favor this place. Every morning, a spectacular light show greets joggers at the lamp-lit and leafy shoreline of Rizal Boulevard, where our hero was said to have enjoyed long strolls during stopovers en route to and from Dapitan. A lesser known story according to old folks’ tradition is that he also had breakfast at the Locsin House — or what residents simply refer to as “the white house” — which is located at the corner of Sta Catalina and Locsin Streets. The white house was once the residence of Lt Cornelio Yapsutco, a champion of the revolution against Spanish rule. While the first level has been converted into shops, the second storey retains the hardwood floor and furnishings of an airy Spanish-period home. One can try arranging a visit to this private home through the Dumaguete City Tourism Office, tel: +63 (35) 422 9409 at Quezon Plaza.

SU granted FAAP accreditation
Thursday, December 16, 2010

The Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines confirmed recently the granting of Institutional Accreditation status to Silliman University in Dumaguete City, making it the first recipient in the Visayas and one of only five schools in the Philippines, a press release from the university said.

Institutional accreditation is the highest distinction awarded a school, in consideration of its number of individual program accreditations and the result of an overall evaluation of the quality of its facilities, services, and faculty, it also said. Silliman continues to be the school in the Philippines with the highest number of individual accredited programs, it added.

Silliman president Dr. Ben Malayang III said the recent development reflects the continuing challenge to the university to give life to its Christian ministry of education, and constantly improve its programs and services, the press release said.

Malayang said he was grateful to the members of the administration team, especially to vice president for Academic Affairs Dr. Betsy Joy Tan and vice president for Finance and Administration Prof. Cleonico Fontelo. He also cited former Silliman president Dr. Agustin Pulido.

The other schools granted institutional accreditation are Centro Escolar University, Trinity University of Asia, Ateneo de Naga University and Ateneo de Davao University, the press release added.*

The 32nd DRC unit is highly mobile and primarily operates to conduct reconnaissance and performs as a direct action unit. It is equip with light weapon and can hold long period of engagement, Amores said.

He said during the flag raising ceremony held on December 13 at Camp Leon Kilat, 302nd Brigade Commander Colonel Manuel Luis M Ochotorena warmly welcomed the 32nd DRC in his message saying that the arrival of the unit is a big boost for the 302nd Bde’s Internal Security Operations to help win the peace in Negros Oriental.

Col. Ochotorena also reminded the personnel of 32DRC to maintain the highest standard of discipline as the best force protection from the enemy and to always uphold human rights of individual citizen, even in fighting the NPAs. For our enemies are our fellow Filipinos, only that they are misguided, army official said. (PIA/JCT)

GIANT REVOLVING CHRISTMAS TREE
Bais City

The 70-foot tall revolving Christmas Tree of Bais City is an annual yuletide spectacle on this sugar city and has been tradition for the past 40 years. Each year the Christmas Tree has a new colorful design and it never failed to light the cold dark night of Bais City.

What sets this Christmas tree apart from all the others is that it is revolving on a 360 degree rotation. Another added attraction is a fully functional train that goes around the tree and is a free ride for all. Bais City is known for its vast sugar cane plantations and this train is the one that is used by the Central Azucarera de Bais to carry its sugar cane harvest.

There's also a merry-go-round that is formed like a dolphin as Bais City is known for its tourist attract which is dolphin watching. There's also a giant Belen, and a brightly lighted City Hall which could really make one feel the Christmas spirit.

Nicky Dumapit started his walk last December 15, 2010. The 34 year old resident of Bagacay, Dumaguete City, has a goal of finishing the 101 kilometers distance from Dumaguete to Bayawan. Wearing his shirt that carries a message of PEACE, LOVE and RESPECT, we caught him on his 55th kilometer in Panablawan, Siaton 2:30 pm, December 16, 2010. Together with his pair of slippers, he distributes posters and leaflets to people from the towns he passed by. He is expected to reach his destination at noon time of December 17, 2010. He surely does WALK the TALK.

Perdices to head RDC-7 (http://visayandailystar.com/2010/December/17/negor5.htm)
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

Negros Oriental Gov. Agustin Perdices yesterday assured he will do his best to deliver what is expected of him as chairman of the Regional Development Council in Region 7.

Perdices was recently diagnosed with cancer and is receiving regular treatment for it, but he said he is honored that despite this “handicap”, he was chosen to head the RDC-7 that comprises the Central Visayas provinces of Negros Oriental, Cebu, Bohol and Siquijor.

At a press conference yesterday, hosted by his office, Perdices admitted that he was at first reluctant to accept the chairmanship, but after consultations with his staff, he accepted the responsibility.

“They assured they will back me up all the way, and help me carry the load. We have to be ready, for there is a lot to do,” he said.

Perdices said one of his requests is to have the RDC-7 quarterly meeting held in Negros Oriental.

He also stressed that all possible development projects of Negros Oriental should be proposed to the RDC-7, considering that, with the position comes the priority, or more chances for approval of these projects.

Perdices also said he no longer has the illusion of seeking a political position in the 2013 elections, and simply wants to finish his three-year term as governor.

This is his fervent prayer and hope that God will grant his wish of completing his first term as the governor of Negros Oriental, Perdices said.

He extended his warm greetings to the people of Negros Oriental during the holiday season and shared a light moment with the Dumaguete media, telling them he will see them again in next year’s yearend press conference.*JFP

“Kasaligan Transport Service” serves 4Ps beneficiaries
By Jennifer Catan-Tilos

Dumaguete City, Dec. 17 (PIA) -- The provincial government of Negros Oriental has purchased two vehicles for the poor farmers to transport agricultural products from mountainous areas to nearby markets and roads in support of the 4Ps program.

Provincial Administrator Paul Honculada said this pro-poor program of Governor Agustin Perdices dubbed as ‘Kasaligan Transport Service’ provides two cobra trucks to the hinterland barangays of Talalak in Santa Catalina and Luyang in Mabinay town.

The transport service will significantly improve post-harvest handling of agricultural produce which in turn would increase farmer’s productivity and income, Honculada said during the year-end press conference held at the Governor’s office, this week.

This will also help poor farmers who have a hard time hauling their produce and improve the quality of their farm produce so they can command better prices in the market, Capitol official said.

Governor Perdices’ 4P’s Pang-Probinsyang Programa sa Pang-hayupan ug Pang-Agrikultura collaborates DSWD’s poverty-reduction strategy, Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program.

The 4Ps is a poverty-reduction strategy of DSWD which provides cash transfers to extremely poor households as long as they comply with certain conditions requiring members of their families to meet certain human development goals. (PIA/JCT)

Radio station blessed (http://www.visayandailystar.com/2010/December/18/negor5.htm)

The radio station of the Diocese of Dumaguete in Negros Oriental launched the video live streaming in the world wide net in line with its 30th founding anniversary, recently.

Bishop John Du led the blessing and inauguration of the new announcers’ booth and conference room of the radio station.

Present were station manager Fr. Ramonito Maata, Fr. Casiano Salac, and Fr. Edwin Acab.

Du said that technology has grown so fast that the church has to utilize it to widen the dissemination of the gospel and preach it to the people.

He said he strongly believes that the video live streaming is an effective way to preach the gospel to the people to the different parts of the globe, and that people now have access to the internet and social networking sites.

Du also said the station serves as the mouthpiece of God in preaching the gospel through religious programs.

The internet and radio are two important avenues for the church to let the people become updated of the latest development of province, and the Diocese of Dumaguete, he added.

Du also thanked and congratulated station manager Maata for taking the giant leap towards development from analog to digital communication.

Maata said their goal is to make the radio station goes global and form, inform and transform. He clarified, though, that they are beginning to implement a three-year development plan.*MA

Faculty, staff of NORSU to get P40,000 allowance (http://www.visayandailystar.com/2010/December/18/negor4.htm)

All fulltime faculty and staff of the Negros Oriental State University system will receive P40,000 as allowance and incentive, or year-end bonus, a Philippine Information Agency press release said.

The Board of Regents of NORSU during its recent meeting, approved the release of P30,000 for each fulltime faculty and staff.

NORSU president Dr. Henry Sojor said the amount serves as the Economic Relief Allowance, and also said that “all job order and part-timers are given P7,000 more or less.”

The money comes from savings and income of the state university, the press release said.

Sojor said an additional P10,000 will be given before Christmas Day, to all full time faculty and staff as their Performance Enhancement Incentive, the press release said.

The release is based on Administrative Order No.3 by the President of the Philippines, authorizing the grant of PEI to government employees.

The Department of Budget and Management sets aside P7,000 while NORSU gives its share of P3,000, the press release added.*

so this is it... Php1,000,000.00 christmas tree. How do you find it nicko? :)

it's too late to lobby Perdices Coliseum to the AFF for that matter because our booters are now in Jakarta as we speak :lol:

But anyway, it should be a priority for the Provincial Govt. since the infrastructure is already in place and it only needs fine tuning to suit much bigger standards

Panaad is also great since it already hosted footbal games of the 2005 SEA Games. basta Negros, aprub! :okay:

There are news that the AFF Susuki Cup 2012 will be held in the Philippines. I hope our Provincial Government will lobby to host or co-host with Bacolod City this prestigious international football tournament. That would be 2 years from now, giving us ample time to complete the main grandstand and install lights that could meet the AFF standards.

Imagine what would that international tournament do to our city(Tourism and Business).

Our National Government cant construct a new stadium of that magnitude from scratch in just two years. So, they would need to look for a stadium that is big enough to hold 30,000 fans or has the potential to meet the standard. Top contenders would be, Panaad Stadium (Bacolod City), Rizal Memorial Coliseum(Mentro Manila), Abellana Stadium(Cebu) & our Perdices Coliseum. These 4 stadiums are not yet capable of holding 30,000 fans and are not yet equipped with adequate lights. That would mean, it's still a free for all battle. It depends now on who wants it the most and who has influence inside the PFF. If I'm not mistaken, Dick Emperado (NORFA president) is one of the directors of the PFF. With the support of Congressman Arnaiz, Provincial Government , City Government & private sector as well, I know we can finish the Perdices Coliseum (at least the main grand stand), and it would surpass the 3 other stadiums.

I hope our Provincial & City government, private sector, the people realizes what it would do to our economy. Negros Oriental & Dumaguete city will be in the spotlight.

Is there anyway we could inform our officials coz I don't have the guts and the "connection" to talk to these people about this.

It's good to know there is an Azkalero here. Dont forget to watch the 2nd leg of the semi-final tonight at Star Sports or Studio 23 8 pm. Try also to visit their facebook fan page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Azkals-Philippine-National-Football-Team/121127397930821?v=wall
I hope they'll win! Go Azkals!

the national govt. all the way down to the LGU's will realize the pressing need for a world-class footbal stadium upon seeing the Azkal's performance.

there's no need to lobby for this one since it already caught the attention of P-Noy and our big corporate conglomerates.

Goodluck to them tonight! and whatever happens, PINOY PRIDE will prevail. i hope we can build up on this newfound strength and use it as a tool for national unity and progress.

Maybe, and its still a big maybe. And if ever they'll build one, 2012 is so near, there is not enough time to build a new stadium. While they are still planning to build one, why don't we offer our Stadium to host or co-host the 2012 AFF Suzuki Cup. We are capable na man sad.:banana:

I hear from a friend working in the provincial tourism office that the Christmas tree in Quezon Park really cost 860,000 pesos. It doesn't even look good. What a load of bullshit.
