Cops to identify sites for tourist police training
BY JUDY F .PARTLOW
Wednesday, January 19, 2011

The Negros Oriental Philippine National Police Office will publish a list of tourist destinations in the towns and cities of the province in preparation for the training of tourist police personnel.

Police chiefs should coordinate with government officials in their areas to identify the tourist destinations that will be a basis for prioritizing those to be assigned tourist police.

Earlier, Sr. Supt. Samuel Yordan, regional PNP deputy director of Region 7, said that the PNP hierarchy in Camp Crame, Quezon City will begin training tourist police for Negros Oriental and Bohol next month.

Yordan was in Negros Oriental last week as guest of honor at the opening of the seven-day Back-to-Basics training for police personnel in Dauin town.

He said the PNP national headquarters, in cooperation with the Department of Tourism, will train more tourist police to help efforts to bring more tourists to the country.

Dumaguete City is the first in Negros Oriental to have a tourist police unit.

Yordan said there shall be no vacuum when personnel are trained and assigned to tourist police units, as the PNP in Region 7 is ready to download more policemen, especially those holding the rank of Police Officer 1, to police stations in the provinces.*JFP

Sadya jud kaayo basta present ta tanan.......pero mag nosebleed ko ninyo... :lol::lol::lol:......

I think Portal West will be making more money this time. As far as I know Silliman is making ready the construction of the Portal East soon.

Inside Silliman U. there are plenty of constructions left and right. A large new building will soon rise in front of the under construction Barry Thompson Nursing building, which I suppose belongs to the College of Performing Arts.

It will be Security Bank and Mercury Drug at the space formerly occupied by NBS @ Portal West. There will be a third (but still unknown) occupant.

A new BPI branch will soon open in front of Conchita's (and Agriplas building), near Cang's branch ...

This is the ongoing renovation/construction.....no Idea what is this...for me It's a bank....it is just a wild guess

TGEG Gets Ready for Unveiling of Green Energy Power Plant
Written by Editor on 18 January 2011

Michael Gilburd, President of ValuCorp, who Prior to ValuCorp, was the Managing Director of corporate finance for two American Express companies, where he assisted in raising funds for various transactions, including acquisitions and public offerings, and previously, he was the National Director of Corporate Finance for BDO Seidman, one of the nation’s largest accounting and consulting firms, and a member of their International Corporate Finance Committee. TGEG chose ValuCorp because of their impeccable track record, backgrounds and experience.

ValuCorp Calculation of Fair Market Value for TGEG was expresses as a single dollar amount of $5,235,215,734 and was based upon all the information provided by True Green Energy Group and Spectrum Blue Steel Corporation as well as other sources of information by Voga Brazil that ValuCorp deemed to be an appropriate analysis. The revenue was based on the current sites in the Philippines such as San Fernando, Santa Rosa, Naga, Dumaguete, Tanjay, and Bayawan City. In addition to cities in Brazil such as Goiania, Goias, Cristalina Goias, Rio de Janeiro, Palmas and Tocantins.

TGEG/SBS will be using the Biosphere MKV5 and Material Recycling Facility to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions through Land Management contracts over the next 25 years. Provinces, local governments, and stakeholders of TGEG/SBS will earn big money because of the significant reduction in GHG emissions from the green energy system. Today the price of a carbon credits are approximately $20 dollars per ton.

True Green Energy Group and Spectrum Blue Steel’s strategy is to “de-carbonize” the electric power generation industry by shifting to non-fossil fuel-based energy sources, specifically energy-from-waste. This follows the American Energy Policy Act of 2005 which confirmed energy-from-waste is renewable, and the Philippine Renewable Energy Law (RA 9513) of the Philippines. Spectrum is a domestic corporation duly registered under the laws of the Philippines and holds a license to the Biosphere Technology from Global Environmental Energy Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GEECF). Global is a fully integrated energy company whose interests include electrical power generation, oil and gas exploration and production, clean coal and waste management technologies.

This press release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of the 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections.

Food tripping in Dumaguete

by Lito Cinco

The people of Dumaguete appreciate good food but are looking for value for money and that is why food tripping in this laid back city in Negros Oriental is an easy thing to do, as we found out during an extended stay there for the coverage of the 15th University Games, a nationwide collegiate sports competition with schools from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao as participants.

The timing was perfect, too, as the annual Buglasan Festival of Negors Oriental was ongoing with weekend street parties at the famous Rizal Boulevard, complete with a fireworks display that lighted up the night skies.

And when there are street parties, it follows that al fresco food and drinks stalls will mushroom along the famed boulevard named after the country’s national hero who once stayed for a short time in this city.

The stalls mostly sold grilled items like skewered pork, chicken, chorizo, fish and squid. They even had their own version of tempura.

Camalig offers an eat-all-you-can buffet of grilled chicken and pork belly with rice and desert for only P150. Now, that’s a bargain.

Waway, a restaurant specializing in seafood, was a bit pricey by Dumaguete standards but still cheap as six of us had a dinner there consisting of chicken barbeque, blue marlin and bistek with rice, drinks and dessert and our bill was just over P600!

Highway 10 near the church is a fast food restaurant with a lot of combo food items and I tried the meal of a fried chicken, pancit, unlimited rice and soda for only P100.

For a cheap and good breakfast, nothing beats a trip to the Dumaguete public market, the cleanest market I have seen here in the country, for early morning feasts of budbod or kabog. This is the native suman enjoyed with a cup of the local hot chocolate. You can also opt for puso (rice wrapped in leaves) or a giant pan de sal with fried egg, hot dog, luncheon meat or pancit.

If you’re looking for fine dining, go to the Bethel Guest House where a weekend lunch or dinner buffet is only P175 per person or go a la carte at St. Theresa along Hibbard Avenue where a blue or white marlin and chicken dinner complete with rice and premium beer for two will only cost around P120 per person.

Coco Grande Hotel near Silliman University has a coffee shop where this writer had a lunch of crepe with chicken filet and mushroom inside plus salad on the side for about P150.

We had dinner at Don Atilano at the Residencia Hotel courtesy of Philippine Sports Commission Commissioner Chito Loyzaga where we enjoyed sinigang na hipon, adobong kangkong, crispy calamares, bangus ala pobre, green mango salad with drinks and brewed coffee for three people for an amount that did not exceed P600.

Another classy dining place is Mamias, which is owned by the family of Mayor Chiquiting Sagarbarria who we met as Loyzaga tendered a lunch for local and UniGames officials. The place offers international cuisine and we had a real feast of seafood and meat and specialty dishes like callos and lengua.

Talent crunch still biggest risk to robust BPO growth
By Dennis D. Estopace, Business Mirror
Posted at 01/19/2011 11:40 PM | Updated as of 01/19/2011 11:40 PM

MANILA, Philippines - Business process outsourcing (BPO) companies must address the annual loss of an estimated 84,800 workers from resignations or face a massive shortage of workers 5 years from now.

“We need to do that, or the industry will be short of 400,000 workers by 2016,” Maulik Parekh, president of BPO firm SPI Global Solutions Corp., said at a public forum on Jan. 19 morning in Makati City.

Business Processing Association of the Philippines chairman Alfredo Ayala said in a briefing last year that it would take zero investment on the part of the government “to attain the lower end of the target” $25-billion revenue by 2016.

But on Wednesday Parekh said with the exodus of 16% of the workers annually, that would bring the revenue to $18 billion. “That is not acceptable.”

Hence, Parekh said companies need to take 3 steps to address the situation:

* creating value for clients instead of cutting costs
* focusing on people in the company
* and fostering entrepreneurship

He said the shift by developed countries’ client companies from cost-cutting strategies happened even before the 2008 financial crisis and has been a predominant phenomenon for 3 years now. “The crisis probably accelerated that [shift].”

Still, Parekh said clients of BPOs may have also influenced the strategy to create value. “It’s a theme driven by clients, making it a net-net goal, which is to create more value with less cost by leveraging relationships.”

An example that Parekh cited is the move by a client company to move some work on medical transcription in the United States to the Philippines by putting up a health-care academy to prepare Filipino employees for high-value work.

The company also plans to put up a team focusing on transcription of highly technical materials, like those produced by scientists. “We have launched this in India and we plan to launch it here,” and added the team would produce products and services that would support “a far-changing landscape.”

How to support the kind of things that online sellers do or how to support devices that allow users to access information at the click of a finger—these are the ideas being discussed by that team, he said.

SPI Global is a wholly owned subsidiary of ePLDT Inc., whose ultimate parent is publicly listed Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) Co. According to its latest report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, SPiGlobal’s cash in bank was only P12,500 as of December 31, 2009. Parekh said the company aims to post a 14-percent to 15-percent growth this year.

He added the company has recently added 980 seats in their facility in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, which opened in October 2009 with 548 seats, and they aim to increase that to 1,800 seats. “As it is today, we’re the city’s largest employer.”

He said they also plan to expand in Iloilo City, where they started operations in March 2005. “Actually, the expansion has started. From 580 seats, we’re targeting to add between 20-percent and 25-percent capacity this year.” The company has 8 facilities, including the Dumaguete and Iloilo locations.

Remember Qualfon? I heard a news when I was in Dumaguete that the company is not in the brink of bankruptcy and sooner or later that the company's name will be on extinct. Primary reason is the delay of releasing of employee's salary and recent pull-out of account which may result in reducing its workforce.

But here is the intriguing part, Qualfon will sell its shares or even equity to... SPi either this year or next year... :)

Very true.

I do agree with you sir. Customers no longer look at quality products instead they are tempted with its low price and can't even check quality. thats why unitop survives and damn expanding. :nuts:

We should encourage the city council to enforce the 'International Standards' law. That way, not only will the new unitop not open; but the original one would close. Why? Because not one thing they sell would pass the International standards law. Not only do I not want to see the new one not open, I would like to see the original one close. Poor people usually use it, because the prices are low; but they don't realize that in a couple of weeks, whatever they buy will no longer work.

We bought a soldering iron from there, as soon as it got hot, it blew up because the solder connecting the iron to the mains melted. We bought joysticks for games for a console, and within 10 minutes they were both broken. Pagkaugma, we replaced them, and again, 10 minutes after they too were broken. When we went to replace them the third time they said we could no longer replace them after this. Lo and behold, after 10 minutes of use, they too were both broken. So, instead of saving money because they were cheap, we actually wasted money.

Work here, NegOr BPOs urge local graduates
by: Rachelle M. Nessia

DUMAGUETE CITY, Jan. 20 (PIA) -- The business process outsourcing (BPO) industry here is urging new graduates who are potential BPO workers to work in the local companies instead of leaving to seek employment in BPOs in Cebu and Manila.

The lure of working in big cities have been drawing graduates away from the university town, causing concern among local BPO companies who noted a drop in the number of local applicants.

The BPO companies here have banded together to conduct a roadshow to inform students about the perks of working for local companies. “We want to let them know that although the salary rates in Manila and Cebu might look attractive, in the end, working here is still the better alternative,” said Suzanne Lu-Bascara of Spi Global based in Bacong town.

Bascara disclosed that a group of human resource representatives from the BPO companies here met to compute the expenses of a BPO entry level hiree in Dumaguete versus that of those in Manila based on the actual basic salary rates. It was learned that an entry level worker would spend only 30% here of what she would have spent for rent in Manila, 40% to 50% for food if she eats outside her home and 50% for transportation costs.

An entry level BPO worker in Manila only get to save 20% to 25% of her salary and this excludes recreation expenses. “When you're in Manila, with all the clubs and things to buy, your 25% becomes negative and you will max out your credit card,” said Bascara.

She said that most of the employees who left their jobs here to work in Manila come back with “horror” stories of what happened to them. “They have been robbed, they were living in squalid conditions and they realized that coming home is the better alternative,” she said.

The acceptance rate of local applicants in BPO companies here have declined in the last few year.

Dana Fortunato of Student Universe described the acceptance rate in the province as “very low”, from 50% acceptance rate out of a hundred applicants some 2 years ago to what is now lower than 10%.

On the other hand, the industry's attrition rate – workers leaving or getting fired – has been on the rise. From a 2% attrition rate four years ago, it is now fast approaching 10%, said Fortunato during the forum held by the Philippine Information Agency here.

The BPO industry here launched their campaign to attract more applicants as the industry will need 2,115 fulltime employees for 2011.

Fortunato said there is a need for the industry to work with the schools and the local government units (LGUs) in the province to fill the industry's employment needs by the end of this year. “We want to get the workers locally without having to look outside the province,” she said.

The group is scheduled to meet with department heads and councilors from LGUs to discuss their concerns followed by BPO site tours. They also plan to meet with schools officials to address what the companies observed as a dip in the quality of applicants in terms of English communication and computer literacy skills.

“There are young kids who say they are computer literate yet they don't even know how to save a document. They know how to Facebook and play online games but don't know how to work with Excel,” said Fortunato.

Bascara added that some positions in SPi Global, a knowledge process outsourcing and customer interaction service provider, require fast typing skills. “We found out that the schools have phased out typing 101 and people are now using 2 or 3 fingers when they type on the computer,” she noted.

BPOs in the country is part of the information communications technology industry (ICT) dubbed as the “Sunshine Industry” due to its vast contribution to the Philippine economy and employment.

In 2006, the BPO industry alone contribute around USD$3.2 billion to the country's economy. It jumped to around USD$9 billion last year.

The Philippines is eyeing to get a share of the projected USD$256 billion for offshoring and offsourcing in the global BPO market by 2016.

In a recent study commissioned by IBM, the country has overtaken India to grab the No. 1 spot in terms of voice BPO globally. (RMN/PIA-7 Negros Oriental)

Infrastructure tops projects list in C. Visayas development plan
January 20, 2011, 5:04pm

DUMAGUETE CITY, Negros Oriental, Philippines (PNA) – Majority of project proposals submitted by the Negros Oriental provincial government to the National Economic Development Authority in Region 7 (NEDA-7) are on infrastructure projects for health, agriculture and tourism development.

Earlier this Monday, NEDA-7 conducted a provincial consultation on the draft Central Visayas Medium-Term Regional Development Plan (MTRDP) containing proposed projects for year 2011-2016.

NEDA-7 Regional Director Marlene Catalina Rodriguez said they are now presenting these proposed projects to the local government units (LGUs), concerned agencies and stakeholders for comments and suggestions based upon the presentation.

She said the thrust of NEDA is to ensure that all projects and programs of the LGUs will benefit the poorest of the poor in the area. “The realization of these proposed projects will greatly depend on the actions and response of the local governments,” Rodriguez said.

The NEDA-7 regional director clarified that NEDA’s role is to evaluate programs submitted by LGUs by looking into the feasibility of projects suitable for target beneficiaries.

For the health sector, Negros Oriental is proposing that district hospitals be improved.

Some of these district hospitals in the province are no longer accredited by PhilHealth after the latter increased its standards for hospitals.

The construction of a four-story hospital building for the Negros Oriental Provincial Hospital is being endorsed for possible funding source.

Another proposed project is the construction of roads leading to primary community hospitals located in Barangay Luz, Guihulngan City, Pacuan, La Libertad; Nabilog, Tayasan; Inapoy, Mabinay, Amio, Santa Catalina and Kalumbuyan, Bayawan City.

According to Ma. Melissa Guantero of NEDA-7, tourism is another sector in Negros Oriental that needs further development because of its natural tourism attractions.

Among the possible projects that can help improve the tourism industry in the province is the putting up of health and wellness establishments, and education and medical tourism services.

Likewise included in the MTRDP for tourism is the construction roads leading to such tourism sites as the Twin Lakes in Balinsasayao, Sibulan; Casaroro Falls in Valencia; Palaypay Falls in Pamplona; Niludhan Falls in Mabinay; Mantije Log Cabin in Bindoy; White Sand Bar in Campuyo, Manjuyod; Baslay Hot Springs in Dauin; Chocolate Hills in Hinakpan, Guihulngan; and Lake Balanan in Siaton.

Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental celebrates National Arts Month in February with the theme Buhing Mugna (Arts Sustaining Life).

Ian Rosales Casocot writes,

"Art sustains life. It is its beautiful gravity and soul, the creative manifestation of everything that we are as a people—our aspirations, our goodness and our frailties, our exp...eriences and histories through the prism of the beautiful and the provocative. Art enriches the human, and becomes the portal for creative expression, whether one is an artist or an art lover. Without art, we do not have a mirror of our humanity. Without it, we do not have a measure of our evolution as a civilization. And yet it is much too easy to forget the vitality art brings to our lives, to our communities. Art, in the final analysis, brings in the crucial difference for any community to become a vibrant place, not just for culture but for every breathing aspect of community life. This February, with Kisaw 2011, we embark to define the precise ways the arts create a long-lasting impact on the lives of people in the community. Art is life."

It depends on your lifestyle. I have been working here in Cebu for almost three years and I noticed that I can save here more than I can save back home. Food is not always cheaper back home. Depende ra kung asa ka mukaon. I work here in Cebu's business park and there are canteens that sell food at reasonable prices. You can already have a decent meal at Php 30-40 pesos only. :)

One of the many reasons why graduates prefer to work in BPOs in Cebu or Manila is because of the higher wages...

This is very true. These companies should stop making "standard of living" as the reason why they are giving out lower salary rates compared to the big cities. Dako ra kau ug difference for the same amount of work.

ICT Dumaguete to forge ties with schools, LGUs (http://www.visayandailystar.com/2011/January/21//negor4.htm)
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

The Information and Communications Technology Association of Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental is strengthening linkages with schools and local government units, to attract more potential ICT industry players in the city and the province.

Randy Bandiola, president of the newly-formed ICT association, said Dumaguete that had only ranked 14 in previous years is now in the top 10 list of new wave cities in the country for ICT investors.

At a press conference Wednesday, association officials and representatives from various business process outsourcing companies in Metro Dumaguete expressed optimism that the city and the province will reach their target of employing 6,106 workers this year.

There are now 3,991 full-time employees in ICT firms in the province with a total of P34 million in accumulated monthly salaries, Dana Fortunato of the local ICT association Board said.

She said they are optimistic that the shortfall of 2,115 will be filled this year, despite limitations and “stumbling blocks” in the hiring of more workers.

One of the setbacks in getting more locals to work for ICT companies is the competitive rate offered by similar firms outside the province.

But, based on computations and studies done, an ICT worker in Dumaguete can save up to as much as 30 percent in rent, food, transportation and other miscellaneous expenses, unlike their counterparts in big urban areas like Cebu or Manila.

The local ICT association is also aiming to generate 50 percent of the jobs available outside of Metro Manila by promoting Dumaguete and Negros Oriental as the next ICT destination.

Some of the setbacks cited by association officials are bad publicity and stereotyping of BPO employees, the lack of ICT graduates, lower salary rates, lack of accommodation for workers who live outside the city, sub-standard English and communication and computer skills, infrastructure limitations such as unreliable connectivity, and the absence of Philippine Economic Zone Authority areas or IT parks.

The local ICT association has begun a roadshow with meetings with city government officials, open house of their establishments, school visits and representation with local officials, and partnerships with non-government organizations, as part of their advocacy in promoting Dumaguete and Negros Oriental as potential business investment areas.*JFP

Hello SSC Dumaguete!

Greetings!!!

This Summer, particularly in April, the SSC teams from Cebu, Bacolod and CdeO will be having a summer meet at Cagayan de Oro city as part of their thrust to strengthen the ties between the three groups. During the Sinulog de Cebu 2011, where SSC Cebu together with SSC CdeO member, Mottymot_07 and SSC Bacolod member (yours truly), we talked about the possibility of SSC Dumaguete joining the said Summer Meet to be one with the vision and goal of both SSC CdeO, Bacolod and Cebu.

Originally, the plan is that SSC Cebu's visit to CdeO is just a part of it's annual summer escapades but the plan has changed. SSC Bacolod will be joining to meet our counterparts in CdeO and to build a stronger friendship amongst them in order for us to gain more support thus strengthening our bonds with the said SSC Groups became the new purpose of the visit.

This is not only limited to SSC Cebu - SSC CdeO and SSC Bacolod. We are also planning to invite SSC Dumaguete and SSC Tacloban as well as other SSC Groups that might as well be interested in joining us this summer for an SSC Grand Meet.

So as early as now, and on behalf of SSC Cebu - SSC Cdeo and SSC Bacolod, we would like to formally invite interested members to come join us as we further make our thrust in promoting each of our respective cities and strengthening the ties between SSC Groups into a higher level.

I, sugarfairy on behalf of SSC Cebu, SSC Bacolod and SSC CdeO will be keeping you updated about this endeavor.

For interested members, please include your name below so we could plan and coordinate well with SSC CdeO the number of members that will be joining from SSC Dumaguete.

Thank you very much and Good Day to all of you.

Yours truly,

Dumaguete eyes hike in tricycle fare
by Mary Junriza S. Cimeni

DUMAGUETE CITY, Jan. 21 (PIA) - Basic fare rates for tricycle plying within the territorial jurisdiction of Dumaguete City are likely to increase this year due to continued rise in prices of petroleum and fuel products, said Councilor Nilo Sayson, chair of Peace and Order and Public Safety.

A public hearing was held last January 6 to inform the commuters that due to the increase in the price of premium gasoline, the basic fare rate is also proportionally adjusted. Thus, fare rate will be raised from a minimum of P7.50 to P8. per passenger for the first one kilometer and an additional of 50 centavos for every kilometer thereafter.

However, Sayson said students who can present their valid identification cards will have 50 centavos less the basic fare while senior citizens may have 20 percent discount. This privilege is in accordance with the Republic Act No. 7432 and DILG Circular 94036.

Under the city council ordinance no.15, series of 2009 stated that a new scheme is established such that the basic fare rate is adjusted to be proportioned with the pump price of premium gasoline per liter.

The ordinance showed that when the price was still P42.50 per liter, the fare was yet at P6.50, however, now that the premium gasoline price reaches P62.50 per liter, the fare is proportionally adjusted to P8.00 per person. When premium gasoline price reaches to P107.50, the basic fare rate would adjust to P12.50 per person.

However, Vice Mayor Alan Gel Cordova said that a resolution has not yet been made and that the ordinance still need to be passed and signed by the Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria before it could fully be implemented.

Cordova said that as long as there is no tariff posted on the motorcycle for hire (MCH) plying around Dumaguete City, the driver does not have the right to demand the increase.

“Right now we are still waiting for the tariffs to be issued by the City Council,” said a 40- year-old MCH driver who introduced himself as “Manong Mario”.

Sayson said if the mayor signs the resolution this week, the hike will take effect next week.

On the other hand, during the public hearing, Sayson said most of the complaints raised by the public were the refusal of MCH drivers to convey passengers especially if their destination is quite far and some drivers smoke while driving, over speed, and snub passengers.

Nonetheless, “Any driver who violates traffic rules and regulations will be cited by the traffic enforcers,” according to Sayson. Taken from the national law, citation tickets vary from P100 to P 1,500 depending on the weight of the offense," he said.

Sayson challenged the public to cooperate with the law enforcement agency in disciplining MCH drivers by reporting all their violations and infractions to the Traffic Management Office (TMO).

The city official plans to post hotline numbers in every tricycle so that it would be easier to contact the TMO whenever there are complaints. (PIA/JSC)

City government urged to draw up traffic plan
BY MARICAR ARANAS
Friday, January 21, 2011

The Dumaguete Traffic Management Council suggested that the city government make a comprehensive plan to address the problem on traffic congestion in Dumaguete especially during peak hours.

Chief Roland Ramos of the Land Transportation Office-Dumaguete said the council now aims to have more orderly and less traffic in the streets of Dumaguete by the end of 2011. The council proposed that all fixed traffic signs be placed in places visible to the drivers.

Ramos said traffic signs in Dumaguete are movable, and are sometimes transferred to different places. He said traffic signages should be fixed and should not be moved or transferred at will. These signages will help ease traffic congestion and prevent confusion among motorists, Ramos said.

Retired Regional Trial Court Judge Victor Patrimonio had called the attention of the LTO when a no U-turn signage was placed in the middle of the national highway, in front of the new Cang building at the Daro highway.

Ramos said they have corrected the mistake, because under the law no traffic signs should be placed in national highways. He said double solid yellow lines could be painted on the road to signal the motorists that U-turns are not allowed.

He said there are drivers who still do not know how to read traffic signs. The most commonly violated traffic signs are the no U-turn, no loading and unloading, and even no parking.

Ramos said some violators may know about the traffic signs, but refuse to respect them. LTO-Dumaguete will intensify its campaign on traffic signs education during the renewal of drivers’ license, Ramos said.

Drivers of public conveyances will be required to attend a short refresher course on identification of traffic signs.

The Dumaguete Traffic Management Council is composed of the LTO, Traffic Management Office, Councilor Nilo Sayson as chairman on Committee on Transportation, Association of Barangay Captains president Albert Aquino, Negros Oriental State Univeristy president Henry Sojor representing the academe, Lily Raymundo, Federation of Dumaguete Motorcycle Drivers president Glendo Selim and the police.*MA

NegOr submits proposals on health, agriculture dev’t
BY MARICAR ARANAS
Friday, January 21, 2011

Majority of the projects proposed and submitted by the Negros Oriental government to the National Economic Development Authority in Region 7 involved infrastructure, health, agriculture and tourism development.

Regional director Marlene Catalina Rodriguez of NEDA-7 said they are presenting the proposed projects to local government units, concerned agencies and stakeholders for comments and suggestions.

NEDA-7 conducted recently provincial consultation on the draft of the Central Visayas Medium-Term regional Development Plan of all the proposed projects from year 2011-2016.

Rodriguez said the thrust of NEDA is to ensure that all projects and programs of local government units will trickle down to the poorest of the poor. The responsibility of making the proposed projects realized will depend on the action of the LGU, she said.

Rodriguez clarified that the role of the NEDA is to evaluate programs submitted by LGU’s by looking into the feasibility of the projects that would be suitable for the target beneficiaries.

For the health sector, Negros Oriental has proposed for the improvement of district hospitals, some of which are no longer accredited by PhilHealth.

The construction of a 4-story hospital building at the Negros Oriental Provincial Hospital in Dumaguete City is also being endorsed for possible funding source.

Another proposed project is the construction of roads leading to primary community hospitals in Barangay Luz, Guihulngan City; Pacuan, La Libertad; Nabilog, Tayasan; Inapoy, Mabinay, Amio, Santa Catalina; and Kalumbuyan, Bayawan City.

Ma. Melissa Guantero of NEDA-7 said tourism is another sector in Negros Oriental that needs further development because of its natural tourism attractions.

Among the possible projects to help improve the industry is the adoption of health and wellness, education tourism and medical tourism, she said.

Part of the MTRDP for tourism is the construction of roads leading to the tourism sites that include Twin Lakes in Balinsasayao, Sibulan; Casaroro Falls, Valencia; Palaypay Falls, Pamplona; Niludhan Falls, Mabinay; Mantije Log Cabin, Bindoy; White Sand Bar, Campuyo, Manjuyod; Baslay Hot Spring, Dauin; Chocolate Hills in Hinakpan, Guihulngan and Lake Balanan in Siaton.*MA

To give you an idea what the festival is all about...Please see below:

YAGYAG FESTIVAL

Cangmating is a small barangay of the town of Sibulan situated along its coastline. In this area, the "cagang" or land crab (cardisoma carniflex) and the "alalasan" (episesarma singaparense) are plenty during the last quarter of the year. Thousands of these creatures crawl out of its habitat at night to mate and lay their eggs along the shoreline and riverbanks. The spawning process is locally referred to as "pagyag-yag". At the start of this season, the local residents bring out their bamboo baskets, crab traps and coconut -frond torches to gather the matured crabs which they cooked and sold or bartered for farm crops from the neighboring barangays. To honor this practice and tradition, the barangay government initiated a festival held every last Sunday of April to highlight the barangay fiesta of Cangmating on May 1. The movements of the crabs during the courting, mating and laying periods are the themes of the streetdancing and field presentation during the festival.

Tricycle fare increase in Dumaguete looms
Saturday, January 22, 2011

Basic fare rates for tricycles plying within the territorial jurisdiction of Dumaguete City are likely to increase this year, due to the continued rise in prices of petroleum and fuel products, Councilor Nilo Sayson, chair of the Peace and Order and Public Safety Committee, said yesterday.

A public hearing was held recently to inform the commuters that due to the increase in the price of premium gasoline, the basic fare rate is also proportionally adjusted.

Thus, fare rates will be raised from a minimum of P7.50 to P8 per passenger for the first one kilometer, and an additional of 50 centavos for every kilometer thereafter.

However, Sayson said students who can present their valid identification cards will have 50 centavos less the basic fare, while senior citizens may have a 20 percent discount. This privilege is in accordance with the Republic Act No. 7432, and the Department of Interior and Local Government Circular 94036.

Under the City Council Ordinance No. 15, series of 2009, a new scheme is established such that the basic fare rate is adjusted to be proportioned with the pump price of premium gasoline per liter.

The ordinance showed that when the price was still P42.50 per liter the fare was yet at P6.50; however, now that the premium gasoline price reaches P62.50 per liter, the fare is proportionally adjusted to P8 per person. When premium gasoline price reaches to P107.50, the basic fare rate would adjust to P12.50 per person, the ordinance further provides.

However, Vice Mayor Alan Gel Cordova said that a resolution has not yet been made, and that, the ordinance still needs to be passed and signed by Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria, before it could be fully implemented.

Cordova said as long as there is no tariff posted on the motorcycle for hire plying around Dumaguete City, the driver does not have the right to demand the increase.

“Right now we are still waiting for the tariffs to be issued by the City Council,” a 40-year-old MCH driver said.

Sayson said if the mayor signs the resolution early this week, immediately by next week, it will officially be enacted.

Meanwhile, during the public hearing, Sayson said most of the complaints raised by the public was the refusal of MCH drivers to convey passengers, especially if their destination is quite far. Others complaint against smoking while driving, over speeding, and snubbing passengers.

Nonetheless, “Any driver who violates traffic rules and regulations will be cited by the traffic enforcers,” according to Sayson. Taken from the national law, citation tickets vary from P100 to P 1,500 depending on the weight of the offense, he said.

Sayson challenged the public to cooperate with the law enforcement agency in disciplining MCH drivers, by reporting all their violations and infractions to the Traffic Management Office.

The city official plans to post hotline numbers in every tricycle so that it would be easier to contact the TMO whenever there are complaints.*PIA

and Dumaguete is one of the top IT destinations in RP!^^

RP poised to become IT destination in the world
by: Rachelle M. Nessia

DUMAGUETE CITY, Jan. 21 (PIA) -- Plans are now in place to position the Philippines as the information technology (IT) destination not only in Asia but in the world.

Randy Bandiola, president of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) council here, said his group is part of a nationwide effort to formulate the Philippine Digital Strategy (PDS) which will put the country on the map when it comes to premier IT services.

PDS is a new national ICT roadmap that will serve as the masterplan for the industry's development between this year until 2016 under the auspices of the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) created under the Aquino administration.

The Philippines, in a study commissioned by IBM in the later part of 2010, has overtaken India in terms of voice business process outsourcing services. “We are now ranked number one in voice BPO,” said Bandiola.

He said that if the country positions itself to become the preferred talent for IT outsourcing and offshoring services, then jobs will come to the Philippines. “This will stop the brain drain syndrome in our country and mitigate the exodus of our workers to other countries,” said Bandiola during the Kapihan forum held Jan. 19 by the Philippine Information Agency here.

The local IT industry has been pouring billions of dollars into the country's economy, earning the monicker “Sunshine Industry” due to its fast expansion and the thousands of jobs it has generated.

In 2006, BPO companies contributed to the local economy around USD$3.2 billion and it has steadily grown to around USD$9 billion last year.

The market for offshoring and offsourcing was pegged at USD$74 million in 2006 and economic forecasts put the industry's market to be around USD$256 to USD$268 billion by 2016. “We would like to get a share of that market here in our country as we can see that the IT industry will continue to grow in the coming years,” said Bandiola.

Forecasts for the industry's job opportunities are looking rosy for the following years as well. Bandiola said that by 2016, “we are looking at generating 1.3 million jobs directly by the ICT industry.”

He also cited the multiplier effects of IT employment in other industries catering to the ICT industry. “When a worker from a BPO industry receives his salary, he spends it on food, clothing, entertainment and other necessities, creating jobs in those fields as well,” Bandiola said.

Dana Fortunato of StudentUniverse and a member of the ICT council here, said that the nearly 4,000 jobs generated in the BPO industry in the province in December 2010 would have generated 10,000 jobs in other industries. (RMN/PIA-7 Negros Oriental)

‘Pre-requisite’ for mayor’s permit scored
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
Saturday, January 22, 2011

Businessmen are allegedly complaining about a prerequisite before obtaining a mayor’s permit to do business in Dumaguete City.

Vice Mayor Alan Gel Cordova yesterday said concerns were raised by applicants on the requirement to enroll with the PAG-IBIG, before a mayor’s permit is issued by the mayor.

A few months ago, the City Council granted the mayor authority to enter into a memorandum of agreement with national government agencies, in effect requiring business applications to comply first with the mandate of the law. However, the grant of such authority was general in nature, and did not specifically say that a PAG-IBIG clearance be made a requirement prior to the issuance of a mayor’s permit, Cordova said.

Besides, under the listing of fees and charges in Section 62 of the Comprehensive Tax Code, the PAG-IBIG clearance is not one of them, Cordova pointed out.

The presiding officer of the Sangguniang Panlungsod said it is not mandatory to acquire a PAG-IBIG clearance before a mayor’s permit is issued.

Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria said, failure of the applicant to enroll first with PAG-IBIG does not necessarily mean a mayor’s permit will not be granted.

He clarified that the city government is merely helping the businessmen under the BOSS program, which was ordered by President Benigno Aquino, even as he strongly believes that the PAG-IBIG enrolment is mandated by law, being a businessman himself.

It was clarified during the regular session of the city council that requirement No. 12 on the checklist, requiring a PAG-IBIG clearance, is a guide of the applicant, if he or she wants to complete the processing without hustle.*JG

Tawo-Tawo dancers get 4th prize in Cebu
BY RENE GENOVE
Saturday, January 22, 2011

The Tawo-Tawo Festival of Bayawan City, Negros Oriental, received a cash prize of P150,000 as fourth place winner of the Sinulog-based category competition in Cebu City last Sunday.

Mayor Rene Gaudiel of Bayawan said Tawo-Tawo was last year’s Buglasan Festival winner, which also emerged as one of the top five champions besting the more than 40 participating contingents.

Gaudiel said he will request the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Bayawan to pass a resolution allowing the local government to give out the prize money to more than a hundred performers of Tawo-Tawo, who participated in the Cebu Sinulog.

Sinulog in Cebu is known to be the grandest and the biggest religious festival in the country, with participating contingents coming from different neighboring provinces, local government units, and private groups every year.

Bayawan is known as the agricultural capital of Negros Oriental. An abundant harvest is always anticipated and the presence of the "Tawo-Tawo" or scarecrow had always been a great help to the farmers with a bountiful harvest.

This festival has been an added attraction to the city fiesta showcasing the socio-economic-cultural and tourism of Bayawan.

Tribu Sinanduloy, the contingent from Tangub, is a consistent first place winner and is closely watched by judges and revelers because of its superb performance.

Abellana National High School got the second place, followed by City of Carcar as third placer, and Cebu City Central School as fifth winner, in the Cebu contest.*RG

Actually this is not the official festival of Jimalalud.....what they always portray every buglasan is the HAMBABALUD Festival.....And Tanjay City is not Sinulog...but it's SAULOG Festival......

For me....celebration lang sad ni nila sa kapistahan ni Sr. Sto Niño.....

oh really la ko kabalo ana....Good that the city tourism of tanjay decided to change the name of their festival......such a great move....while Gaisano Sa Tanjay .. yes kadungog ko ani nga news....but did not materialize I guess and I believe it is because of their Sister mall "Lee Super Plaza"....and soon to have a branch in Bais City....dili sa Tanjay....

^^ nah, those are just rumors...the immigration officers "maybe" harsh on us Filipinos due to the hostage-crisis in Manila but they can't deny you entry in H.K. unless you are wanted by the INTERPOL, or bringing contraband items or if H.K. has backed out of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization for visa-less travel to the concerned countries/territories... :okay: just imagine, a Cebu Pacific flight full of passengers (tourists from Philippines) visiting HK but everyone is not sure if they can enter HK or not?... :lol:

We should encourage the city council to enforce the 'International Standards' law. That way, not only will the new unitop not open; but the original one would close. Why? Because not one thing they sell would pass the International standards law. Not only do I not want to see the new one not open, I would like to see the original one close. Poor people usually use it, because the prices are low; but they don't realize that in a couple of weeks, whatever they buy will no longer work.

We bought a soldering iron from there, as soon as it got hot, it blew up because the solder connecting the iron to the mains melted. We bought joysticks for games for a console, and within 10 minutes they were both broken. Pagkaugma, we replaced them, and again, 10 minutes after they too were broken. When we went to replace them the third time they said we could no longer replace them after this. Lo and behold, after 10 minutes of use, they too were both broken. So, instead of saving money because they were cheap, we actually wasted money.

I don't need international standards quality for my bolo and guna lol .
We should not go snobbish with the UNITOP cheapy shop ,and let it all stop to exist :ohno: for the ideals of having "international standards" thingy here for all shops and it ends up the majority of our fellow poor pinoys couldn't afford the blinking high price tags of simple laundry pegs and cheap notepads for their school children because of "international high price" :nuts:

It's good to have as many choices of shops in this city of gentle people . The more shops to choose from the better ,isn't it ?

People who have money and anti- UNITOP should never drop by whatsoever at UNITOP .
But for Juan Hinditamad and Pedro who are only earning 150 pesos /day on occasional chances of employment ,UNITOP is a blessing .

Actually ,I'd been to UNITOP few times May 2009 in a hurry to buy sundang ,palakul ,guna ,that thingy that looks like from the grim ripper - ah sickle , they had actually some range in there .I don't care if they were made in China ,it did save my time going through the dgte market overpriced . I also popped in there to buy some plastic bags (those big ones) and some laundry pegs ,laundry brush as I forgot to pick one from the Hypermart.I know they wouldn't last a lifetime but it's good there's an alternative shop for quick pick .It shuts at later time too than most stores around ,so that was helpful. In 2010 visit I bought some knives from there and hair bands for my kids ,they got a selection ,fantastic cheap price ...and so bad of me another time I did buy another set of sickle and sundang again from UNITOP as I forgot to bring my previous set for the workers clearing up - time element is the factor.

There are items I would avoid buying - I wouldn't buy my TV or my coffin from UNITOP LOL:cheers:

The good picture is IMHO ,there in Dumaguete we have more choices ,apart from fine dining ,also choices of shops for all range of pockets . It's good to be fair to everyone .

January 23rd, 2011, 12:29 PM

^^ my mom also bought sickles there for her gardening duties, because it's dirt cheap and there's clearly no need to look for a branded sickle or something like that :lol:

yes i do agree with you, different strokes for different folks since we come from different socio-economic brackets and classes :cheers:

but i do hope they can still find another place rather than the one which Cang's vacated :)

Work here, BPOs urging graduates (http://visayandailystar.com/2011/January/24/negor4.htm)

The business process outsourcing industry in Negros Oriental is urging new graduates who are potential workers to work in the local companies instead of leaving to seek employment in BPOs in Cebu and Manila, a Philippine Information Agency press release said.

The lure of working in big cities have been drawing graduates away from the university town in Dumaguete City, causing concern among local BPO companies who noted a drop in the number of local applicants, it also said.

The BPO companies have banded together to conduct a roadshow to inform students about the perks of working for local companies. “We want to let them know that although the salary rates in Manila and Cebu might look attractive, in the end, working here is still the better alternative,” Suzanne Lu-Bascara of Spi Global based in Bacong town said.

Bascara disclosed that a group of human resource representatives from the BPO companies met to compute the expenses of a BPO entry level hiree in Dumaguete versus that of those in Manila based on the actual basic salary rates.

It was learned that an entry level worker would spend only 30 percent in the province of what she would have spent for rent in Manila, 40 percent to 50 percent for food if she eats outside her home and 50 percent for transportation costs.

The acceptance rate of local applicants in BPO companies in the province has declined in the last few year, the press release said.

Dana Fortunato of Student Universe described the acceptance rate in the province as “very low,” from 50 percent acceptance rate out of a hundred applicants some two years ago, to what is now lower than 10 percent.

On the other hand, the industry's attrition rate – workers leaving or getting fired – has been on the rise. From a 2 percent attrition rate four years ago, it is now fast approaching 10 percent, Fortunato during the forum held by the PIA said.

The BPO industry here launched their campaign to attract more applicants as the industry will need 2,115 fulltime employees for 2011.

Fortunato said there is a need for the industry to work with the schools and the local government units in the province, to fill the industry's employment needs by the end of this year, the press release said.

The group is scheduled to meet with department heads and councilors from LGUs to discuss their concerns followed by BPO site tours. They also plan to meet with schools officials to address what the companies observed as a dip in the quality of applicants in terms of English communication and computer literacy skills, the press release added.*

About the Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium

The Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium, the largest fully-functioning theater outside of Metro Manila, was built in 1973 and completed in 1975 at a cost of P4.4 million from funds provided mainly by the Henry Luce Foundation, Inc. of New York.

Counterpart funding was raised by Silliman University through its alumni, faculty, staff, student body, business community, and from friends here in the Philippines and abroad. The balance was donated by the United Presbyterian Commissions, with significant help from the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia based in New York City.

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs221.snc3/20867_459078833988_113579223988_6341604_5140135_n.jpg
The Luce in 1979

The Luce Auditorium was formally inaugurated on the 6th day of October, 1974 with ceremonies dedicating the facility to the memory of Claire Isabel McGill Luce (1923-1971), wife of Henry Luce III, President of the Henry Luce Foundation, Inc.

Silliman University’s vision for the Luce is for this world-class facility to continue serving the academic community and the country in the best possible way.

In 2008, the Luce Foundation provided additional funds to refurbish the Auditorium, updating its facilities to meet the strictest standards in theater. Work on the premises was completed in July 2008.

The University works to maintain and preserve the Luce Auditorium as a center for Culture and Arts in the Central Visayas region, and to continuously cultivate and promote the passion of theatre, music, dance, and other forms of art expression among the students of the university as well as the larger community.
