good day iligan city thread... i think the passenger traffic will increase once the iligan to bukidnon highway becomes passable since the bulk of CDO port's pax mostly comes from bukidnon and the rest of davao & central mindanao provinces... only my opinion :)

I don't think it would matter much. People always choose the convenient way and Iligan can't offer what Cagayan Deo Oro can in terms of travel connections. In there they have variety of options to choose from either by plane or by sea..They even have Philtranco bound for Manila... Iligan City,Marawi City and it's neighboring towns can always generate good pax load,we even have a good share of pax load in Cagayan De Oro and somtimes even more. It's just that our LGU lacks the assertiveness to advertise it or invite investors,airline operator,shipping lines players. look at Ozamiz City,how they have come this far...They have good shipping and flight services. It's because the LGU there at some point managed to let the national govt. see the great potential they can give.Now they're enjoying the fruit of their assertivness...They own big chunks of pax load coming from the neighboring Lanao Del Norte towns which used connect via Iligan City before. Ozamiz doesn't have our industrial plants to dwell on and yet they are flourishing very fast. How can we lure investors if the first thing they would see when hey land is the lovely site of cagayan De Oro City or if not after waking up in the morning from an overnight ferry trip from Cebu is the flourishing view of Ozamiz City...Iligan City have one of the most efficient ports in the country,having the gift of deep water berths enables deep draft ships to dock,we have the cleanest port because it's so underused... We have an airport of no use and neglected because of our great anticipation of the upcoming LADP.. We need to advertise,be assertive enough to show to investors that it's good to do business in Iligan. We must ensure that it's a safe haven for doing business...We should not wait for them to discover us...We don't deserve to be an extension routewe are more than that...What happened...a very long story to tell..:)

Unya kanus-a man pud na mahuman ang bukidnon road? HInaot unta ang atong government mangilabot na aning rota sa cebu iligan nga direcct. Kanang IMASCO dapat ila na pagamyan ang singil para naa na ta direct route sa cebu iligan , dili lang permi ta sgunda mano.

any development pics sa patubig nato, ug uban na kalamoboan diha sa dakyan>? tnx.

than wasting all the time with steel mills that's not even generating income for the city...NSC is already history,we should move on and not be stuck with it. Shipyard/drydocking services is good business.Iligan City is blessed with deep coastlines which is very ideal for a shipyard.It can also boost good number of job openings esp.the technical ones.With very possible international clients plus good/direct transport going in and out of Iligan City,investors for sure would come flowing in. Hope somebody from our beloved LGU could ealize this.:)

I seldom see anything here in the USA print media about The Philippines or for that matter hear anything much on radio or TV News. Yesterday, National Newspaper " USA Today " had an entire section devoted to The Philippines.

You can read that section here >>

@Uonno, I think if foriegn business and individuals were able to outright purchase land, houses, businesses etc. in The Philippines there would be a tremendous influx of foriegn investment and revenue comming in. As it is now, all a foriegner can buy to own for themself is a condo provided at least 40% of that condo complex is Filipino Owned.

If I could outright buy and own something there in Iligan for myself I might be inclined to do that. I dont't like Rental property or Rental houses and If I buy something it would have to be in my own name as full owner.

Unfortunately Philippine Laws prevent this. Maybe they have good reason for this so your country does not get bought out by the rest of the world. A high percentage of New York City is now owned by foriegners.

hindi kailangan umabot ng 50 to 100 years just to this kind of developments. If the Government is very agressive on this , then they can make it in less than 10 years or so. look at ayala cebu now, wala pang 50 years yan but the developments are good. nasa government yan kasi.

para sa akoa what is needed is people need to get jobs..mag unsa man nang daghang mall or commercial districts if people can't buy or pay products/services being offered by commercial entities. Sayang ang investment nila and to think pila na pud ka stalls ang nawala sa Gmall Iligan di ba? That alone says na wala kaayo purchasing power ang atong local populace..if you would look at other places here in Mindanao, bisan before naa pud mga kaguliyang nahitabo didto sa uban dapit, naa gihapon investments..so sa ato pa, kulang gyud ang panrabaho diri. We need a SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE or EXPORT PROCESSING ZONE here like MEPZA of Cebu..

Peace and Order has been addressed by Pagadian,Ozamiz and Zamboanga why can't we? It's just a matter of how assertive the leaders are. Although we can't compare Iligan City to Cebu but we should try to reflect the attitude the leaders have in Cebu and Cagayan De Oro(which is our sister city). The question now is,why have those cities which are more vulnerable than Iligan have flourished past us? LGU can't even maintain the IBJT for that simple matter.:)

Bitaw, sa diha pa ko ngwork in late 70's up to early 80's matindi jud ang akong nakita na actual bloody events, labaw na along Cabili Ave... murag hangtud karon dili jud nako makalimutan ang nahitabo... So, maybe, i dont make a conclusion to this matter, just maybe, some investors medyo nag alangangin ba... lalo na, lately, as we heard here in europe, may mga pagbabanta sa mga kababayan nating naliligaw na muslim incl'g some Kristiano, which they don't like peace, ika nga...

^^

Only minimal changes in the area. Ludo Bldg. is still there and has been used by Gaisano as their bodega. somewhere west of the bldg was a computer shop but I think it's closed already.the Premier theater is already closed and there's some new electrical shop and supplies nearby too. Did you work with Ludo company? the area near saray is still as treacherous as it has been. I don't know if those infamous lungag in the area are already taken care of but because of the drug activities in the area,it's not wise to walk around during night time. when I went on vacation last Dec.2009 there was an incident about an MSU-IIT student stabbed because of the his/her laptop,the poor student was from GenSan i believe.:)

Sabayle st.has not changed except that St.Peter's College has renovated their main gate and Chedeng over the years have facelifted their facade too. The old Liong's Restaurant is already gone. The auto-supply shops are still there and somehow they made the street into a pit stop type repair shop:lol:
Maharlika Theater is done and gone and is now the site of Novo. The old Andrada Bldg. is still there,it experienced a bombing incident and has been repainted too. The Biema shoe repair has closed down too I don't know if their CGY shop is still open but the one in Cebu is still on business. Yah definitely there's slow progress in the city,and it's sad.But in fairness we got some clean streets too..

Maayo unta mo improve pa jud ang atong Pilipinas ug mahinayan ang population growth mas molambo pa ni....:banana::banana::banana::banana:

^^

but the time it took for it to happen is just too slow...the highway is with the national govt's business but our city street has just been improved in the recent years only. from the 20years timeline all we have now is just a snail speed of progress. I don't know what our leaders have been doing in the past hopefully not taking care of personal interest:ohno: the town of Sogod,So.Leyte has progressed faster than us for a town and Im talking about 5year window. They have made it why can't we. Our population has already blown out but we can always use it at our advantage instead of wasting our energy for debates. Our leaders just have to lure good investors which have long term plans not like those people who assumed control of NSC that made things even worse.Investors which can provide jobs and work force so we can utilize our excessive population. a job for everyone.:)

It really is slow but since the 1997 financial turmoil, naglisod gyud ang Iligan og bangon coz our industries here are mostly heavy industries unlike sa uban nga food and electronics. Its understandable that development is slow. For one place to become really developed it should offer necessary industries so people will be able to locate jobs. There should be proper transition from education to manpower and in turn jobs that would make people generate money. As far as industry and job location is concerned, I can say that is really not catered for the past 9 years now. We don't want malls right now coz afterall when people have the money, malls will follow. There are indices that mall developers read as to if it is necessary to build their businesses here or not.

Convention Center mahinungdanon aron mamahimong destinasyon ang Iligan sa mga nasudnong katiguman, matud sa duha ka opisyal

Duha ka mga opisyal ang mipahayag sa kamahinungdanon sa usa kaconvention center sa dakbayan.

Mibutyag si Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz nga aduna unta’y gilaraw nga nasudnong kombensiyon sa Philippine Councilors League niadtong panahon nga konsehal pa siya sa siyudad apan wala mahinayon tungod sa kakulangon sa tukmang venue.

Midugang pag-asoy ang pamuno-dakbayan nga aduna usa’y panahon nga ipahigayon unta sa Iligan ang usa sa mga dula sa Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) apan wala madayon tungod kay walay PBA standard venue ang atong dapit.

Sa susamang bahin, miasoy si City Councilor Ariel Anghay, Council Scout Executive sa Iligan, nga pipila usab ka higayon nga mibalibad ang Iligan sa pag-host og national convention sa Boy Scout of the Philippines tungod gihapon sa kakulangon sa dakong venue. (boy decena)

I'm still puzzled why Iligan is not having a hotel boom knowing that it has a lot of natural attractions to speak off like Tinago and Maria Cristina falls. Its also disappointing to know that a highly urbanized city as such could not sustain some shops at Gaisano. Is it because of its proximity to Cagayan where people prefer to do their shopping and recreation?

it's because Iligan and it's leaders continued to be attached with CGY. When you go to Iligan 90% of how to get there would be via CGY. Iligan City with all our beautiful waterfalls has become a sidetrip destination only.most tourist would actually go there,spend time strolling in daytime and sleeps in CGY. Even showbiz people that have shows in Iligan would always spend the rest of the night in CGY. Even ships that call in Iligan takes Iligan as an extension route from Ozamiz...:ohno:

You are right on the money on that, and this is what I have long been suspecting. In my childhood days, I have never recalled staying for a night in Iligan because we would always wind up in Cagayan. What I can recall though is we have stopped many times in Iligan for a break in Jollibee or some barbecue in front of Timoga waters. Another thing my parents told me was that the presence of smoke emitting industries discouraged them from staying long in Iligan and the city being labelled as an industrial city doesn't mix with tourism and recreation. Tinago falls is further inland but the fact that you see this heavy industries lining up the highway makes all the hidden gems unsuspecting. I didn't even know that Maria Cristina has a public park because all I thought is heavy hydroplant machinery which is fortified. All along I've been thinking is that the city needs a stronger identity that doesn't associate itself with industry and pollution. Cities like Cagayan, Davao and Cebu have industries themselves but somehow those have put into oblivion by the diverse shopping and recreational attractions.

A strong political will is what Iligan City is lacking for the moment. Infrastructure-wise Iligan city is definitely in the picture. Good thing now that the city will now be sharing a world-class airport Laguindingan town with Cagayan de Oro. Its a great opportunity now that the airport is now closer.

Iligan has been known as Mindanao's industrial city.

^^

strong political will it is,i very much agree on that... Iligan City has the tools and resources,but our local leaders still lacks the will to use it to the highest level. Iligan City is just so attached to Cagayan de Oro that it tends to be overlooked in the long run.Iligan has been sharing airport with CGY ever since that it enjoys all the credits when receiving tourist/investors first when it should have been Iligan's if we only received them directly and not via CGY. Laguindingan is almost 20KM shy of IGN-CGY so it's still not close to Iligan. Locals like me would still scramble some money to reach the airport just like how we get to Lumbia. 150PHp for the bus ride and another 300PHp for the taxi going to the airport. and when Laguindingan would commence operation im sure d mgkalagyo ang galastuson padung airport. That's why I still don't see anything special about it for the Iliganons. Im sure they would be naming it to CGY anyway,still no credit to Iligan,we just share with them.:)

Iligan may just be a place the rest of the world just does not yet know about. I only found it by accident. I learned about CDO when I found that I would have to use Lumbia Airport as my entry to Mindanao. As much as I have tried to find things of interest to me in CDO, those things were very few and far between and things and places that did get my attention were not really tourist attractions in the first place. I am sure there are many things of interest to tourists, it all depends what an individual wants to see and experience I guess.

Although there appear to be plenty of lodging facilities of various styles and price ranges in Iligan I am only familiar with one of them. Has anyone ever done an actual room count of all facilities available and come up with a total ? I think it would surprise a lot of people.

It appears to me that there is a lot of comparison and competition amoungst certain cities in Mindanao such as Davao, Iligan, CDO and many others. To me, each city is its own individual entity with its own advantages, disadvantages, things to see and do etc. Individuality is what makes different places interesting. If they were all the same you could just say look at one and you have seen them all.

Iligan features many unique attractions not available elsewhere and so does CDO, Davao and many others. Expound on what you have and not worry about what others have to expound on.

I never noticed any Industrial Odor as someone mentioned about Iligan and with it's size and population I think there would actually be less polution, if you care to call it that, as there is less traffic and automotive polution than in a city two, three or more times the size and population of Iligan.

An increase in tourism and business will eventually bring more lodging acomodations as they are needed but if all of them are not already filled to capacity with valid reservations what is the point in additional Hotels and Pension houses etc. without the revenue to support them ?

An airport that is 20km away from the city is not bad at all...some cities have airports at 17km or 14km from their cbd. I think Laguindingan is even closer to Iligan than in Cagayan de Oro. Its about time these bus operators would start to deploy airport shuttle service.

How did you come up with Iligan being nearer to Laguindingan? From Iligan to Initao alone which is halfway of IGN-CGY is already 42+KM and Laguindingan is still 3towns away from Initao:) Iligan to Laguindingan is about 50+KM and that's only up to the highway and from highway to the airport is i believe another 10-12KM:ohno: Laguindingan to CGY is around 30+KM so which one is nearer now? good for those lucky ones born with riches they have their own cars to take them all the way to the airport..

Oh I see sorry about that. In my rough estimate Laguindingan airport is about 45km from Iligan but still not bad. Afterall a railway link system as I have heard is already underway, isnt it? But for now I think a regular airport shuttle service is the most viable. May it be Bus or a taxi, doesnt really matter.

in fairness to the mayor and to Iliganonsr, I dont think they are that 'attached'...

I think there is something wrong with how the structure composing the CIC...

there should be an equitable pie distribution of developments.....

like, early on....CIC corridor envisions Iligan side to be the heavy industrial destination of the corridor.... but now, seems Tagoloan and Villanueva (CDO side) towns are getting the bigger pie

infra wise as well as promotional wise....one can see the difference

well as a 100% born and raised in Iligan,i haven't seen anything which is related to this CIC that has Iligan City's advantage:ohno: can you name one for me if there's any:) Iligan City before all those CIC stuffs has been known as the Industrial City of the South...then came the economic crisis in asia everything went from bad to worse for the city. those promised industrial projects for iligan by the CIC where are they again?? was it Linamon which was originally the proposed airport for CIC? some economic processing zones which was originally planned for iligan too...where are they now?? but at least the ILBU road was realized after a decade of planning which was part of the original CIC provisions. iligan city has one of the cleanest port in the country,it's not because it's well maintained but it is so underused that only few ships call the port and usually extension routes from Ozamiz. PMO-Nasipit even logged more number of pax traffic than PMO-Iligan of course it's because Nasipit have busier ROPAX traffic than Iligan..where does most Iliganons board ships and planes for travel...CGY..why because Iligan is not so attached to Cagayan De Oro City:) Infrastractures, before building or planning new ones leaders should show to the people that they can manage to maintain properly those existing ones,maybe they should start with the City Hospital and IBJT...hope it's not because those projects are from the previous administrations. and they should plan project that would be of use nman. there have been waterwork projects already in the past,they have digged enough holes in the past already,put up a useless reservoir in Luinab with constant leaks:ohno: well in fairness im not mocking any administration,coz most of them have run the city for a long time with few results/output and mostly with questionable intrigues pa. good thing cong.varf made it to the congress as i can see he have some good visions for the city.:)

Nope, Laguindingan airport is way closer to Iligan City than the Lumbia airport. I think that when compared to the travel time spent by an Iliganon pax before (using a car) to go to airport to catch a flight would significantly be shortened to a considerable 25% once the new airport in Laguindingan becomes operational.

Or maybe, just maybe that if only the Iligan LGU would build a City Airport Terminal wherein Iligan passengers could check-in their flights at an early time it would be of great great help to the traveling Iliganons. Just like what they have in Abu Dhabi since their airport is very far from the city. The passengers can even check-in their luggages at an earlier time (in as much as 12 hours in advance) and when the passengers go to the airport, they will only bring with them few personal things and their ticket and passport.

^^

that would be a very brilliant idea. Hope Iligan City's LGU would realize the importance of ideas like that. But so far I haven't heard about any future plans from our LGU side..All I heard is that they are excited for the future Laguindingan Airport with International Standards and the long shot Mndanao Rail...:)

Mindanao rail is indeed something to look forward to. But until its finished, Iliganons would have to endure the hassle of traveling to Laguindingan. At least, LGU should look for an alternate solution that would address the problem even just for a definite period of time until the rail system becomes operational.

Actually, for me, Laguindingan would have been just okay if there's a superhighway that runs from Iligan to Laguindingan. When you build an international airport, it should follow that you build roads or highways too. But they did NOT build or expand or widen the existing highway, which makes me thinking that the Laguindingan Airport was built primarily for Cagayanons. The good side about it is that it's situated nearer to Iligan than it is from Iligan to Lumbia.

Yeah. I agree and I don't want Iligan to be like CDO. I like the city to be just a tourist destination and a satellite city of CDO. I want it to be clean as possible and will be the best place where I can retire...

Finally, I found someone whose ideas sort of like jibe with mine. Great post, EdmundX! :)

I, too, wouldn't really want Iligan to become another CdO (in the making or in the future) that despite that i like CdO too. I like Iligan to stay as a medium-sized city with inhabitants of less than half a million. In that way Iligan would be able to maintain its cleanliness easily. I love it a lot that the city hasn't cut the trees, so i can still see lots of greens even when I'm in the middle of the city center. In CdO, trees are now "dime a dozen". The whole city is now practically covered with cement, and I hate that kind of feel. It's hot. What Iligan needs is to have a superhighway that connects to CdO, so when you want a real deal malling or shopping, CdO would just be a 30-minute drive away.

I haven't noticed a single store that has moved out of GMall other than the optical shop that used to occupy the unit in-between Globe and Smart. The mall's occupancy rate remains strong -- over 95% occupancy rate, according to the mall manager that I've talked to. Having said that, the mall's rate is just too high, a rate that puts off a lot of interested tenants given that Iligan isn't really a destination for shoppers and mallers.

Actually, for me, Laguindingan would have been just okay if there's a superhighway that runs from Iligan to Laguindingan. When you build an international airport, it should follow that you build roads or highways too. But they did NOT build or expand or widen the existing highway, which makes me thinking that the Laguindingan Airport was built primarily for Cagayanons. The good side about it is that it's situated nearer to Iligan than it is from Iligan to Lumbia.

before the opening of this LADP there should have a widening of our hiway going to CdeO and to Iligan.at this point in time nasugdan na unta ug maski boldos lang or papahawa sa mga nakaulang sa kalsada and our government should not allow this contractors who are now making money out of our Iligan-CdeO road.we're just wasting our money for that road rehab then after few months bungkagun napod kay ang pikas napod nga lane ang trabahuon.after few likometers another asphalt overlaying npod.bulok atong sistima sa kadalanan..hasol pa..:ohno:

Water project nears completion: Dad
Tuesday, 28 June 2011 00:00

ILIGAN CITY--The city water improvement project is now nearing completion. This was the declaration of Councilor Moises Dalisay, Jr. in his program on air yesterday, "Mga Dalisay nga kasayoran". He said the project will be finished early part of 2012, as he had been monitoring the progress and development on it.

Dalisay, chair of the city council's Committee on water and energy, said the city's water needs would be taken care of, from 90 to 100%. Asssuring that all the low lying areas will now have water.

He added that Barangays of Bagong Silang, Del Carmen, Palao, Hinaplananon,San Roque, Bayug and Sto. Rosario all known to be low pressure areas will now have water. But this does not include those Brgys. located in mountain areas.

To recall, early in his first term, City Mayor Lawrence Cruz embarked on a P 295 Million water improvement to address "once and for all" the city's problem on water. He declared it as one of his two major flagship project. The other one is the solid waste management project, or the problem on garbage collection. The amount of P 250 Million was loaned from banks, with the city counter-parting the rest.

The project had become controversial then, in time as the winning bidder for the infrastructure component, the R.D.Policarpio and others in a joint venture had erred in its additions by P 15 million. Cruz and several other city officials then are currently facing criminal and administrative changes before the Ombudsman in connection with such contractor computation "error". Jose Maria "Jojo" Boza, one of those who filed the suit was quoted earlier though that the cases would not affect the completion of the project as the cases are against the city officials, and not against the city of Iligan.

I want Iligan to be a city and a destination in itself worthy of its own birth right as the pioneer and prime mover of Mindanao's industrialization.....NOT just a satellite nor a shadow...nor just a second option.....NOT just a side trip but the main destiny....

let whats due to caesars be for caesars....give it up to Iligan

I may be one of the few but Iligan always was and is my destination in The entire Philippines. When I found I had to go through CDO to get to Iligan due to Lumbia Airport, I learned a little about it and made a few friends there.

What I have done on my visits so far is to book a hotel in CDO a couple of days before my departure flight to Manila and then back to the USA. It would cause me major problems if I missed my flight at Lumbia so being as close as possible to it on my day of departure is a bit less nerve wracking for me in stead of going from Iligan directly to Lumbia on my day of departure.

I am hoping when the new airport becomes operational, it will give me one or two more days to stay in Iligan and go directly from Iligan to the new Airport. If there is going to be a hotel at the airport I might make that another option as well. My guess is that the 90 minute ride from Iligan to Lumbia will be reduced to 1 hour, possibly a bit less depending on road & traffic conditions.

One thing I think about when reading a lot of these posts and websites, blogs etc. about Iligan ( and I do read a LOT of them ) is how do you inform the rest of the world about the very existance of Iligan City ? That may be something to think about !

P1.4-B Lanao hydro plant up
By MIKE U. CRISMUNDO
June 28, 2011, 4:08pm

TUBOD, Lanao del Norte, Philippines – Noting the economic growth in the province of Lanao del Norte, a P1,457,350,000 hydropower plant project was proposed and approved by the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) and Provincial Planning and Development Office.

The construction of the 11.9-megawatt run-of-river type hydropower plant in Barangay Pagayawan, Bacolod town, includes a dam, penstock, transmission lines, a power house, and access road.

The provincial government conducted project preparation activities, site acquisition, and other project documentation in preparation for its start.

This development project is a public-private-partnership (PPP) with the local government units (LGUs) intended to acquire roads, lands, and social mobilization facilities.

The main objective of the construction of power plant in the province is a big factor in the effort of alleviating power shortage.

It will also provide sufficient and cheap supply of power within the Misamis-Iligan Corridor, and the more than 573,000 inhabitants of Lanao del Norte and other neighboring provinces and cities in Northern Mindanao.

“Governor Mohamad Khalid Q. Dimaporo is really bent to push through this power project because of growing investments in the province, and also help ease the power problem in Mindanao,” said provincial development coordinator Brigida S. Tangonan.

She also said the power program of the provincial government is a vital factor in the province-wide Mariculture and Aqua Tourism project, which is now being eyed by foreign investors, particularly Chinese investors, to tie-up with the provincial government and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).

I totally agree with what you've said, seastwofly! That circular flyover thing is quite expensive to build -- probably would run in hundreds of millions. That money will be better spent to widen the existing highway, if there's no plan for a superhighway that would link Iligan to CdO.

The current volume of traffic along Iligan-CdO highway is heavy. That is expected to get worse when the international airport becomes operational. So, either the government would make another road, highway in this case, to ease the congestion, or they would just widen the existing highway, which I think would cost much less.

That's correct bro. They should first make a wider highway and then put it later if they find it out the the intersection is congested, but for now I can say this is just too early to build.

Ha ha ha ... I get your point, edbags, and I totally agree with your comment. LOL ...

We do know that those politicians/government officials would steal the people's money one way or another, so it's kind of funny when they try to come up with weird, "out-of-this-world" infrastructure projects just so they can tell to their constituents that they have projects, or that they bring development to their jurisdiction. LOL...

But you know what! They can actually come up with the same amount of project proposal, say 500 million, and steal the same amount that they wish, example 100 million or 20% of the project cost, or any figure tantamount to the amount that they intend to steal as the circular flyover thing proposal. In other words, they could propose a road widening and make the people appreciate it even if they would actually build it much less than the actual allocated budget. In that way they make the people happy and they still would be able to take home money. :lol:

I actually wouldn't expect any major traffic changes to occur between CdO and Gingoog/Butuan highway from the time that the international airport hasn't been operational to the point that it will soon be, primarily because Butuan has its own airport, and I don't think there are or there would soon be a lot of Butuanons traveling abroad. So, the traffic congestion would be more seen and felt on the highway between Iligan and CdO. Much to my regret to tell you, the only development going on on the said highway is the re-cementing and asphalting of the same narrow highway (some lengths of it don't even need a repair, so i feel like there's a lot of money wasted in it.) And, to be honest about it, I am confused why they even call it a highway when it only has one lane on each direction.

First-ever freestyle motocross wows crowd in Lanao Norte
by Vincent N. Labial

http://www.lanaodelnorte.gov.ph/images/stories/freestyle_motorcross.jpg

TUBOD, Lanao del Norte, July 3 (PIA) -- Top American freestyle riders who performed their death-defying jumps and stunts in the world-class racetracks of the Mindanao Civic Center (MCC), here, wowed the thousands of spectators who came to witness the Araw ng Lanao del Norte International Motocross.

“People were ecstatic to see the different dangerous tricks executed by the riders who participated in the Motorsports Weekend last June 24 to 26, as part of the celebrations for the 52nd Araw ng Lanao del Norte,” Lyndon G. Calica, Provincial Information Officer, said.

Joining the group of elite motocross racers from the American Motocross Association (AMA) were extreme sports riders Jesse Jolson and Andy Morgan.

“We’re pretty excited to show the people what we can do with our bikes. We’ll do our best to entertain the crowd,” Jolson said.

The more than four thousand locals and visitors were able to see first-hand the stunts they would only see over televised coverage of ESPN’s X-Games, such as, the can-cans, heel clickers, no-footer, nac-nacs and superman seat grab.

“In the world of Freestyle Motocross, no one can beat the Americans and today we just saw why they are considered the best,” expressed Race Director Bobby Orbe.

The 3-day event also pitted the best Filipino riders like Glenn Aguilar and Donark Yuzon against the top riders of AMA.

In the Pro-Open, Aguilar again proved that he is still the man to beat among the Filipino riders by dominating both heats in this category.

However, the international riders were too fast for the locals and got the top spots in the International Pro-Open category.

Last year’s champion Tiger Lacey successfully defended his title while Daniel Blair and Dennis Staple grabbed the 2nd and 3rd places, respectively.

Filipino top gun, Aguilar, managed to grab the 4th spot in this category despite fierce competition from Bornok Mangosong, Jonjon Adlawan and AMA riders Jake Locks and Kyle Lewis.

Another highlight of the Motorsports Weekend was the Enersel Mountain Bike Challenge which was won by Alfritz Gascon for the cross country open elite category.

The crowd was also thrilled to see some race action from the All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV) that showed that these races can also be equally exciting to watch over the more popular motocross heats that declared Rex Barbaso, winner in the ATV Open category.

Every year the motocross event here keeps getting bigger and bigger and we also see new races being added in the motorsports weekend.

“These only prove that Lanao del Norte is indeed the Motocross Capital of the Philippines,” Provincial Information Officer, Lyndon Calica, expressed.

The provincial government headed by Gov. Khalid Dimaporo will again host the final leg of SEL-J Sports’ 2011 Enersel Forte World Motocross Series , this coming December, in the sprawling MCC Sports Complex, Calica added. (PIO/PIA-10)

Care to show me a post where I said "Mindanao doesn't have a highway"? Come on, show me a post I made where I said that. You can't show me that, can you? Well, I know why you can't. It's because I never said that.

For your information, even a relatively small city like Iligan has a highway. So, you can imagine that such thing does exists in larger cities too such as Zamboanga, GenSan, and more so, CdO and Davao.

Care to show me a post where I said "Mindanao doesn't have a highway"? Come on, show me a post I made where I said that. You can't show me that, can you? Well, I know why you can't. It's because I never said that.

For your information, even a relatively small city like Iligan has a highway. So, you can imagine that such thing does exists in larger cities too such as Zamboanga, GenSan, and more so, CdO and Davao.

Some of my favorite places in Iligan are located on " Tibanga Highway " so of course there is Highway in Iligan !

The goverment should consider constructing state of the art motorways across the country.

just my two cents :)

It would be better for the two cities to grow faster if it is connected with a very fast and efficient high-way system. Slower traffic will deter transport of goods and services and is more expensive for business. Hope the government will prioritize this project...:banana::banana:

AGREED. Because the existing so-called "highway" that links between the two "twin" cities is narrow, and there are portions of it that aren't cemented or asphalted yet, making travelling to and from either cities inconvenient and time consuming.

Since putting another highway is much more costly, widening of the existing so-called "highway" is the more viable solution then.

Some of you might be thinking why am I very concern about this. Well, it's because I am one of those thousands of commuters that pass through or use the said highway almost everyday. :)

well, I do remember, it was very very nice to drive a car from CGY to Iligan. (That was then the road was well maintained). In fact the Iligan-Cagayan-Butuan Highway was the first highway to make those zigzag or curves widen from mere two lanes to almost 6 lanes then (naunahan pa ang mga roads to Baguio). My last drive last year found myself having to contend an increasing traffic, very slow trucks, (of which some of these trucks are very obsolete), tricycles, buses that literally stop in the middle of the road to load or unload passengers and people who suddenly cross the highway.

yes, I think it is time to widen the highway now and if possible make by pass lanes around the towns it traverses to allow faster commute and driving...

Like the unsolved crime rate (mawala then mubalik na pud), especially sa san miguel (place where i live in iligan), daghan na bya diha mga kaunan and small enterprises dapit sa redem. One sollution is to put a police station at the children's park (maski sub station lang). It takes a long time for the police to respond to that area na gikan pa sa may terminal ang nearest police precint kesa mag sige gasto sa fuel sa mobile na sige lang tambay sa highway diha sa petron. Once the businessmen will feel more secured, mas maka expand sila. At the same time di na mahadlok manuroy ang mga mulaag kay mas secured sila. :)

MSU-IIT Celebrates 43rd Charter Day, July 12

by Lorry V. Gabule

ILIGAN CITY, Lanao del Norte, July 8 (PIA)-- The Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), this city’s premier learning institution, will be celebrating its 43rd Charter Day on Tuesday, July 12.

To mark this significant occasion, the Institute is lining up numerous activities for its students, faculty and staff, as well, as its alumni and friends to participate in and enjoy.

During its kick-off, last July 4, the charter week celebration had the soft launching of the Tabo sa IIT, Night Café, open exhibits and organizational fair.

Other activities include cultural presentations which will feature the Institute’s resident performing art groups: IPAG, KALIMULAN and OCTAVA, symposia and fora, and fun run.

Meanwhile, the grand alumni homecoming, which is now on its 9th year, will be held tomorrow, July 9.

Kristine Godinez-Ortega, Chairperson of the Promotions/Publicity Committee said the celebration will culminate on July 12 with the giving of special awards and recognition to employees, and evening socials.

Alumni, visitors, friends and Iliganons are welcome to join MSU-IIT in marking its 43rd birthday.

For more information, visit msuiit.edu.ph., Ortega added. (MSU-IIT/PIA 10)

Mayor Cruz is actually a neighbor of my sister at Donia Maria. Believe it or not, the residents in that village have long been clamoring for a road repair and Mayor Cruz's 3rd term is already ending yet nothing has happened to the road.

I have respect for Mayor Cruz primarily because he's a mayor, but that doesn't mean he's someone whom we can trust when it comes to speedy and precise action (for development.) Cruz is largely a man of words rather than action. From what I've seen, Iligan has started improving only when Congressman Varf Belmonte took office. Before Varf held the congressional seat, Iligan was a dying city. A lot businesses have closed down. The local residents were leaving... Varf was the force that drove Iligan economy back on tract. The progress that Iligan is experiencing now is the result of his inherent initiative, ability, and perhaps, enormous love for Iligan City. And up until that point when Varf came in, Iligan was home to drug lords (e.i. Saray, Tambacan), criminals, rebels, etc.. Those people still exist today, as they also exist everywhere. But I can honestly say that they diminished substantially that I can now tell to myself and kids that it is safer to walk in Iligan streets now than before. The number of tourists have also increased and every tourist that visits Iligan can go back to where he/she's from and tell his/her friends and neighbors that Iligan is not only a beautiful place to visit, it also is a safe place to visit and live in. Let's just hope that come next election, Iligan will find someone who has Varf's decisive qualities and good leadership skills.

so true...Cruz is so disappointing to think that he has the good image but he can't use that image to make Iligan beautiful. Varf is much better coz you can really see him when there are projects being done or any program that the congressional district has. Most of Iligan CBD's road concreting is becoz of the congressional district of Iligan. I would dream someday that Varf will become mayor. A MAYOR THAT HAS A FIST TO STOP ALL THOSE VICEFUL ENTITIES OUT THERE....Cruz..his image is upheld by the media practitioners whose wives, daughters or sons are being waged by the LGU that is why no single issue is even up against him; government workers who are fed by the quarterly/monthly free rice to every employee. that is why he is so 'scenty' to those people becoz he bought his image from them through their 'stomachs'..I CAN SAY THE MAN BEHIND THE GOOD MASK IS EVIL HIMSELF.. tsk tsk tsk

Team Petronas Iligan sweeps 1st Mindanao 55K ultra marathon

DAHILAYAN, MANOLO FORTICH, BUKIDNON -- Team Petronas Iligan swept the first three places at the premier Men’s Division of the First Cagayan de Oro-Dahilayan Trail 55K Ultra Marathon held over the weekend between Cagayan de Oro and the Dahilayan Adventure Park in Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon.
Jeffrey Sotto, a utility man from the Picardal Institute of Science and Technology in Kiwalan, Iligan City, raced home virtually unopposed with a time of 4 hours, 28 minutes and 37 seconds, ahead of teammates Bryan Quiamco, 4: 35:51 and Rodil Quilab, 4:36:38.

Helen Tacling of Lantapan, Bukidnon, salvaged a measure of pride for the hosts by topping the women’s division at 6:36:20, closely followed by Merlita Dunkin of Cebu, 6:38:29 and Michelle C. Estuar, 6:49:18 of Manila’s Front Runner magazine.

“A total of 178 runners registered, 174 actually did the race and 171 finished by our 12-hour cutoff time,” said Francis C. Velasquez, race director. Cagayan de Oro registered the most number of runners with 77; followed by Metro Manila/Luzon, 42; Cebu, 20; and Bukidnon, 15.

“We really trained to win this marathon,” said Michael Neri, coach of Team Petronas Iligan, in an interview shortly after his wards crossed the finish line. “We are familiar with our competitors, their track records and times, and we evaluated who the strongest runners were, so we strategized to burn them out in the first 20 kilometers with our pacing and it worked.”

Mr. Neri said his team was keeping a close eye on the Bukidnon runners who were the acknowledged “Kings of the Road” in Mindanao’s running circles. “We are not here for the prizes, this is a matter of pride,” he said. “We can’t put our focus on the prize money since our expenses are greater than whatever prize money our runners win.”

Mr. Sotto, who has been running since he was 15 years old, had already won six running events in Mindanao this year, most recently the 5K Fun Run in Camp Phillips, Bukidnon, last week. Although the 55K Ultra was his first ultra marathon, he said training in the hills of Iligan helped his team finish 1-2-3.

“Sotto broke away in the first 20 by three kilometers from Quiamco and Quilab,” Mr. Neri said. “Sotto is naturally faster than Quiamco and Quilab so I instructed them not to pace with Sotto but keep ahead of the other runners.”

“We trained in the Iligan City to Balo-i airport road going to Marawi to acclimatize our runners to the elevation of Bukidnon,” Mr. Neri said.

“We also ran them repeatedly on an 85-degree staircase in the Mabuhay Vinyl Corp. plant site to get them used to climbing steep grades we expected to encounter in the race.”

“We are fortunate to have been sponsored by Petronas since we are the ones supervising their games in Iligan and they gave the proceeds to us, which is what we used for this event,” Mr. Neri said. “Iligan City [city engineer’s office]provided our support vehicle.”

Team Petronas Iligan’s goal for the year is to break into the Top 10 of the National Milo Marathon finals. Mr. Sotto has already a best time of 2:56 in a full marathon and should be in a good position to qualify during the Oct. 16 Qualifying Race in Cagayan de Oro City.

With the encouraging results of the initial race, organizers are already planning a bigger event next year. “We hope to see you again next year for a bigger ultra marathon, which we hope to make a landmark annual event not only for Cagayan de Oro, Bukidnon and Northern Mindanao but for the Philippine running world as well,” said Elpidio M. Paras, president and general manager of Dahilayan Nature Park, which co-sponsored the event with Circle Productions. -- Michael D. Baños

Has anyone noticed that Iligan lacks commercial banks. Outside of Poblacion and Palao areas, banks do not exist anymore. There isn't a single bank in Tubod area, as well as, Tibanga-Tambo area. These are two areas that have very strong potential for development, and are fast becoming commercial centers, specially Tibanga which hosts a university of magnanimous student population. Banks promote progress as they partner with businesses. I'm still hoping against hope that one commercial bank will soon establish in Tibanga so that I won't have to send my staff to Palao every single day just to deposit money, and withdrew it when I need it.

Again, with Mayor Cruz's initiative, banks will soon come. He just needs to remind a few bank managers/officials that he will support banks when they intend to open a branch in areas where they are needed, such as Tubod and Tibanga.

Can anybody think of a very active political leader other than Cong Varf that will be the next mayor of Iligan? A person that is very active, honest and promising. The last time that we had a very active mayor was Quijano but he was disappointing.

Did you notice that the periods of massive growth in Iligan was the time of President Marcos? There were a lot of industries that made the city the Industrial City. I was very young by then but I think that was the golden era of the city. I maybe wrong but that's my observation.

Personally, I don't like the exterior of Gaisano Super City Mall Iligan pero iba na pag interior ang pinaguusapan... Very classy and modern... :)

Upon looking at the posts of Paul Iligan, my memories of the good old industrial city are coming back. I remembered how it used to be during the past.

It is better to look back at our worth reminiscing memories and be encouraged to strive harder for a better tomorrow than to be discouraged while facing the blurry future.

Thanks for the Haircut info, Maybe I'll just ask for a trim. LOL I still want to give Reyes Haircutters a try after hearing that catchy musical add for it so many times. Here, a " regular " haircut, nothing fancy, cost the equivalent of anywhere from about 500 to 900 PHP ( and even more in some places ) at the present exchange rate !

Lonely Planet Author Visits Iligan

Mr. Michael Grosberg, author of one of the best and most followed travel book in the world today, Lonely Planet, just recently visited Iligan to get his first hand information on how to get around the city.

He arrived in the morning of June 25, 2011 and spent the whole day in Iligan to get the feel of a tourist visiting the place. He left late in the afternoon for Cagayan de Oro City for some appointments in the evening.

Information that he gathered included tourists spots, directions, restaurants, hotels. He is updating his book and hopefully, he will write a more colorful and interesting article about Iligan City.

^^No wonder. Maranding is the most progressive barrio in Lanao Del Norte. It's the center of economic activities of the entire province.
