Yup..ginaplug man sad diri sa Iligan na @lew. If I'm not mistaken it will be called TV Patrol Northern Mindanao. Sa CDO na nga studio for sure...

thats better.. should save them money and at the same time makabalu ta unsa nay nahitabu sa atung mga silingan

at least sab, daku-daku na ang exposure sa Iligan. :)

mao ba, gimingaw na ko sa binisayang balita diha. Mas maayo para makita nila na nagkahiusa gyod ang Northern Mindanao!

Btw, ano nga ba channel ang abs-cbn dyan?

Channel 4

Pero makuha pud diha ang channel 2 sa CDO?

Yes but not all areas. Depende sad sa antenna. But here in our place, kuha kaayo ang Channel 2 -CDO.

I think ang channel 2 CDO is the widest coverage area here in mindanao. With the power of 50thou watts, covered niya ang caraga at central mindanao. Ang GMA-12 din yata malakas na rin... kuha ba sa inyo?

GMA here in Iligan is Channel 11. I tried tuning to Channel 12 pero wala.

Pinoy central TV (abs-cbn) shows TV patrol CDO here in the USA every friday. Now , we can actually get news coverage for Iligan. that's good news. I'm tired of seeing Emano's face on TV.

Oh my! that's really good news. ABS-CBN - in the service of Iliganons worldwide. :)

Yup..ginaplug man sad diri sa Iligan na @lew. If I'm not mistaken it will be called TV Patrol Northern Mindanao. Sa CDO na nga studio for sure...

parang hindi, i think they will still use there own studio, parin pero mag pulipuli lang sila og report ba.. or maybe not..

GMA here in Iligan is Channel 11. I tried tuning to Channel 12 pero wala.

sauna kay GMA tv 12 ang iligan pero na close man ang station sa iligan for 10 yrs. then pag open sa 90.1 wow nindota ha!(campus radio) a GMA radio station, just last year after 3 months na open na pud dayon ang GMA TV 11 iligan, soon a UHF channel of GMA the Qtv11 will be air here in iligan, just like the Studio23 here in ligan...

HI PIPZ OF ILIGAN and CDO

thats better.. should save them money and at the same time makabalu ta unsa nay nahitabu sa atung mga silingan

tinuod. aron makahibalo sad ta sa mga kalambuan sa cdo and the rest of northern mindanao.

at least sab, daku-daku na ang exposure sa Iligan. :)

korek. it's high time na tagaan ug wider exposure ang atong syudad.

mao ba, gimingaw na ko sa binisayang balita diha. Mas maayo para makita nila na nagkahiusa gyod ang Northern Mindanao!


Nagkahiusa jud ang Northern Mindanao......

murag remote coverage lugar? that's cool..i like that idea better since TVPatrol CDO seldom does remote live coverages...kung duna lay Activities such as fiestas, ect..

at least sab, daku-daku na ang exposure sa Iligan. :)

Dugay na man daku ang exposure sa iligan kay pirmi man ipakita sa TVP CDO ang iligan.. yun nga lang, kung duna lay bad news such as kidnap, disaster, etc, esp sa lanao sur'ng dapita.....:(

well, at least karon siguro good or bad...:)


maayo untag i reformat sab nila ang new integrated TVP CDO ILIGAN...kay maot jud kaayo(TVPCDO). studio set, sound scores, reportage, graphics, etc.. Murag mag basura kung i tapad sa TV Patrol Central Visayas..:lol:

Integrated TV Patrol N. Mindanao launched Monday

ABS-CBN Cagayan de Oro and Iligan News Groups mark a milestone Monday with the formal launching of the integrated TV Patrol-Northern Mindanao at the ABS-CBN Cagayan de Oro Complex in Barangay Bulua.

The occasion marks the simultaneous airing of ABS-CBN Northern Mindanao's flagship news program in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan stations every Monday to Friday at 6 to 6:30 p.m.

The merger of the two news bureaus will lead to the strengthened news coverage in the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan as well as the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, Bukidnon and Camiguin and some parts of Zamboanga del Norte and Zambonga del Sur.

The integrated TV Patrol-Northern Mindanao or TVPNM will now be anchored by the tandem of veteran journalists Alden Bacal and Conchita May Tanate.

CDO reporters Lorenzo Luzon, Shiela Joy Labrador, Maricel Butardo together with Iligan Senior Reporter Ronnie Enderes and Reporter Roxanne Arevalo join forces to deliver the latest events and happenings with the Butuan News group continuing to contribute stories from the Caraga Region.

Providing leadership and supervision to TVPNM are Area Manager Alexander T. Martinez, News Chief Ad Roel Alcober and Desk Mylene Sison.

Expected to grace this significant gathering are ABS-CBN Regional Netwrok Group Vice President Rolando Valdueza, Mindanao Cluster Head Louis Benedict Bennett, RNG News head Stanley Palisada, chief executives of local government units, heads of government and private agencies, and representatives from the media, civil, and business sectors.

With the integration program, the ABS-CBN Northern Mindanao News and Current Affairs Group hopes to deliver faster and more exclusive reportage of daily and breaking news not only to the people of Northern Mindanao but also to the rest of the country and the world in general, in the continued service of the Filipino people.

ok mao ni mugawas kung boundary every barangay... i'm not sure if the special ecozone will be occupying the whole land area though.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m300/gors_iligan/1.jpg

I've seen the map of the proposed special economic zones. There are four areas identified. A portion of barangay Bonbonon, portion of Brgy. Digkilaan, portion of Brgy. Mandulog and portion of Brgy. Suarez (NSC).

I'm going to watch TV Patrol Northern Mindanao unyang gabii. :)

Suarez? layo mana sa Brgy. Bonbonon,Digkilaan and Mandulog. Nganong bulag kaha.

I'm going to watch TV Patrol Northern Mindanao unyang gabii. :)

i tape bai.. youtube dayon.. di ko katan aw man gud kay until 6pm akong klase...:D

My bad. I remember na @Alingatong. part of the NSC property (now Global Steelworks) will be converted to an economic zone. Nabalita ni early last year...I think lahi sad ni sya nga ecozone..

according to the gaisano corp. kung ma human ang gaisano dri sa iligan kini d ang mahimo na the biggest gaisano sa whole mindanao.. right now ang gaisano davao man ang the biggest mall sa mindanao
mao jud pud ni statement ni mayor atong ga work pa ko as casual employee sa city...he also stated that time that Mcdonald's and KFC are also interested to invest here maybe they are waiting for the completion of the Gaisano Mall coz they have not spotted an area yet in the city...they said Mcdonald's needs 1,000 sq meter of space...and if i heard it right from a radio news sometime in May/June 2006 that Robinson's are also looking to invest?

WELL, MASKING DILI XA MAHIMO OG THE BIGGEST BASTA NAA LNG TAY MALL OK NA OI KAYA SA WALA DBA? is it true na the SM corp. are planning to put SM mall here in iligan? kay ako man jud na dunggan ni mayor cruz, pero ang plaza fair sure na sila mo tukod og branch nila dri.. within this year..
tinood ni bai? may unta aron naa na tay mga malling diri sa city...i heard that too pero dili ka sure asa nga source gikan...they said somewhere in the tambo area daw ang plano sa SM...

i tape bai.. youtube dayon.. di ko katan aw man gud kay until 6pm akong klase...:D

ki future biya ang iligan sa dscovery channel sa ato city fiesta, pero dugay nato last 2005 pato, ki air nila 3 weeks after sa ato fiesta... i saw it, when im in australia, i dont know kung last year na future ang iligan usab...



anyway kinsay naa myspace sa inyo?

sana madayon sila og tukod ang sm dri sa iligan para dili nami sige og ad2 cdo, kalas og gasolina oi.. dapat gani ang MAKRO sa iligan unta nila i butang pero the former mayor wala man ki approve niya, i dont know why.. maybe he needs pangpadulas ciguro? may gani ako cousin na ang mayor karon sa iligan..
pangpadulas? tinood jud na kay naka dongog ko sa una mo invest ang Jollibee diri sa iligan in 1989 0r 1990 pero wla daw togoti ni mayor Cabili for unknown reason...i think this particular mayor is a conservative mayor...he doesnt want any good opportunities for iligan jst like what happened to Coca cola in the 80s and many other things may gani atong mayor ron energetic kaayo...Mayor Lawrence LL. Cruz!!!

Really? that's good. Dili lang local based tourist ang nakakita ato...
Sorry No My Space account.

@lew di ko kahibaw unsaon. hehehe

@Alingatong asa na man ang map sa proposed ecozone. Nakakita man kaha ka? puede nato ma-post diri?

mao jud pud ni statement ni mayor atong ga work pa ko as casual employee sa city...he also stated that time that Mcdonald's and KFC are also interested to invest here maybe they are waiting for the completion of the Gaisano Mall coz they have not spotted an area yet in the city...they said Mcdonald's needs 1,000 sq meter of space...and if i heard it right from a radio news sometime in May/June 2006 that Robinson's are also looking to invest?

Robinson's will invest in city of ozamiz as what i heard in all radio stations and tv station in ozamiz when i stayed there for 2 weeks, because right now ozamiz has 3 major stores the GAISANO MALL, GEGEE MEGA MALL and OZAMIZ SHOPPERS PLAZA. and sa ozamiz japon nimo makitan ang the biggest shoe store a 4 storeys shoe store the name of the store is MERYL shoe... but i hope robinson's will also invest in our city. kay mas nindot ato city dba..

^^ no problem man kung muinvest sila didto sa ozamis. Afterall, it's also part of Northern Mindanao. I hope mag-invest sad sila diri sa Iligan kay mas dako man ato syudad.

pero dri man jud sila sa iligan mo invest kay ang ozamiz man jud is 3rd class city (meaning a poorest city), unlike ilgan and cdo is a class A 1st class city, but cdo and iligan is helping ozamiz to get back on track.. kay during 100 yrs cotta celebration cdo mayor and our city mayor went to ozamiz, and talk to mayor of ozamiz, that they will help ozamiz...

mas maayo na...sooner or later muadto ra gihapon ang ROB diha sa iligan.. Daghan na dayon kaayo malls ang R10..

^^ you have a point there but i know some municipalities of other provinces in the phils. have malls in their place. I think it's the purchasing power ang importante. If I'm not mistaken, Mayor Cruz heads the regional development council and since Cagayan de Oro is the regional center...both city mayors should atleast be able to help other cities in Northern Mindanao.

los baños in laguna is an example.. it had a Robinsons even before it was chartered..(city na ba sya ngayon?)..

@lew no idea about the los baños in laguna being a city.

mas maayo na...sooner or later muadto ra gihapon ang ROB diha sa iligan.. Daghan na dayon kaayo malls ang R10..

korek. bibo na kayo northern mindanao by that time.

I'm going to watch TV Patrol Northern Mindanao unyang gabii. :)

i also watched it..

Comments:

1. Over time. They had to cut it short to give way for TV Patrol World.

2. The sound scores werent overlayed well.. Though the material was good.

3. I would rather Roxanne Arevalo replace Conchita Mae Tanate as female host. Roxanne is just awesome. She deserves the spot.

4. It got few news reports. Due to the lauching party focus perhaps. Let's see tomorrow.


______________________________________________________________

5. The studio set is nice. Pretty much like tiny TV Patrol World.

6. The sound overlay material is good.

7. It got more out of town reports

8. No more Police Patrol (thank God!)

9. It got a nice intro presentation, but obviously they cut it, (flop!)

10. All in all, it improved! Better than the old TVP CDO and Iligan perhaps.


Go! Northern Mindanao!

pangpadulas? tinood jud na kay naka dongog ko sa una mo invest ang Jollibee diri sa iligan in 1989 0r 1990 pero wla daw togoti ni mayor Cabili for unknown reason...i think this particular mayor is a conservative mayor...he doesnt want any good opportunities for iligan jst like what happened to Coca cola in the 80s and many other things may gani atong mayor ron energetic kaayo...Mayor Lawrence LL. Cruz!!!

although this is just pure speculation without facts to back it up, ana to akong silingan na ka edad sa akong grandfather unya iit professor sya na MAYBE or MOST LIKELY na mao na nga wala napadayun ang pagpatukod ug coca cola sa iligan kay mangayu man si cabili ug pocket money gikan sa kumpanya aha niya i approve ang project. He said he heard it from a coca cola employee friend of his. Although he kept on reiterating that these are just speculations, and thus speculation it will remain.

If ever this is true, then i would be really pissed off with that mayor... wtf was he thinking??? greed or just plain ignorance?

If false, then lets just say they found CDO to be more attractive :D

^^ My comments sa TV Patrol Northern Mindanao

Kudos to Iligan Senior Reporter Ronnie Enderes and Iligan Reporter Roxanne Arevalo. They did better than their counterparts. I also like Shiela Joy Labrador.

IMHO
1.The set was nice. Murag mini TV Patol World jud
2.Pariha ra kadaghan ang town reports sa TV Patrol Iligan
3.Nice intro
4.Murag nabitin ko sa balita..to think na integrated na.
5.Flat affect si Alden Bacal. Walay expression iya face.Di sad ko ganahan the way he reports
6.Conchita May Tanate looks good sa TV pero mediocre lang the way she reports.
7.Sound overlay is good compared sa una
7.Overall, niimproved sad baya.

Hope munindot pa jud in the coming days

Pasundayag Northern Mindanao :)

comment #4, perhaps due to launching party's exposure.


comments #s 5 and 6, very true.. I would rather Roxanne Arevalo the female host.

But IMO, Alden Bacal is better than Ronnie Enderes, at least for me.. His(Ronnie) voice is just too deep and low.. Murag Rey Langit.. Opposit ni Mike Enriquez. But yeah, Alden Bacal's expression is always flat. ABS-CBN should find someone new. Someone like Leo Lastimosa.


comment #7, :okay:

Re: TV Patrol Northern Mindanao

The new set is good but the way they delivered the news is still the same. Some reporters kay nagkabunga-bunga lang gihapon. (honest opinyon lang nako na) Hoping for improvement in the coming days.

Very true.. It's really disappointing that it has only changed physically.

We will just hope for a better TV Patrol Northern Mindanao in the coming days. :)

@Alingatong nakakuha ka ug copy sa ecozone na map?

I went to CPDO this morning and asked for more info regarding the proposed special economic zone. They have already identified some areas in the four baragays mentioned earlier. Kato rang patag nga bahin sa mga luna. I'll try to convince them to post the map here in our thread para naa sad mo idea which part of Iligan ang akong gihisgutan.

ok thanks daan bai. natubag nasad ang pangutana ni @yanolang.

bibo najud ang iligan :banana:

@Alingatong ikaw najud ang official lakawboy sa Iligan

Tinuod gyud. grabe na sad ang traffic labi na inig kahapon.

OT: Galaroy-laroy ko gahapon mao nga daghan ko pics sa city. Pero basta Sunday daghan establishments nga closed.

pero dri man jud sila sa iligan mo invest kay ang ozamiz man jud is 3rd class city (meaning a poorest city), unlike ilgan and cdo is a class A 1st class city, but cdo and iligan is helping ozamiz to get back on track.. kay during 100 yrs cotta celebration cdo mayor and our city mayor went to ozamiz, and talk to mayor of ozamiz, that they will help ozamiz...
i think if we talk of region 10 maayo jud na i pin point nila ang advantages of every city para balance ang market share sa matag usa aron dli lang iligan ang molambo, or ang cagayan de oro hasta pud ang uban like ozamiz and also to the municipalities likewise...aron dili pud ma byaan ang other city or municipality.

^^ to think in our current state...northern mindanao is already the 3rd richest region. unsa na kahag mulambo pajud ang uban syudad ug mga municipalities.

P55M Oro-Iligan City railway project to start soon

THE Philippine National Railways turned over to Mindanao leaders the P55 million feasibility study, a gift of Thailand, to complete the final phase of preparations for the historic Cagayan de Oro-Iligan City Rail line, the first rail project in Mindanao in over a hundred years.

Construction on the first of four planned new rail lines that will crisscross Mindanao is scheduled to start in the next four months by a consortium backed by the Thai and German governments.

President Arroyo gave the go-signal in mid-2003 to build the long-awaited Cagayan de Oro-Iligan City rail line, which will extend to the Misamis Oriental Export Processing Zone, Phividec.

P55M Oro-Iligan City railway project to start soon

THE Philippine National Railways turned over to Mindanao leaders the P55 million feasibility study, a gift of Thailand, to complete the final phase of preparations for the historic Cagayan de Oro-Iligan City Rail line, the first rail project in Mindanao in over a hundred years.

20 Cities Named Philippines’ Most Competitive
AIM Policy Center unveils results of Philippine Cities Competitiveness Ranking Project
i> By the AIM Policy Center and Institutional Marketing

FIVE METRO cities, five mid-sized cities, and 10 small cities have been cited as the Philippines’ most competitive, based on results of the Philippine Cities Competitiveness Ranking Project (PCCRP) 2006. The findings of the biennial survey were revealed in a national conference held at the Inter-Continental Hotel Makati on November 29, 2006.

The AIM Policy Center completed the project in collaboration with the United State Agency for International Development (USAID), the Asia Foundation, and the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ). The PCCRP assesses the capacity of a city to provide an environment that nurtures the dynamism of its local enterprises and industries. It also assesses the general ability of a city to attract investments and entrepreneurs, and to uplift the living standards of its residents. Lastly, the project provides a benchmarking process that will aid individual cities in measuring competitiveness. City competitiveness itself is defined as “the ability of a city to create and maintain an environment that sustains more value creation for its enterprises and more prosperity for its people.”

The PCCRP ranks the competitiveness of various cities using seven major drivers of competitiveness: cost of doing business, dynamism of local economy, linkages and accessibility, human resources and training, infrastructure, responsiveness of local government to business needs, and quality of life. These drivers were adopted from the World Competitiveness Yearbook of the Swiss-based International Institute for Management Development.

Sixty-five cities were surveyed in PCCRP 2006, the fifth edition of the project. Cities were categorized into 13 metropolitan cities (cities comprising Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Metro Davao), 15 mid-sized cities (non-metro cities each with a population greater than 200,000), and 37 small cities (each with a population less than 200,000). Geographically, 30 cities are from Luzon, 14 from Visayas, and 21 from Mindanao.

In his presentation, Policy Center executive director Dr. Federico Macaranas named the following as the most competitive cities for each classification, in alphabetical order.

Metro: Davao, Las Piñas, Makati, Marikina, and Muntinlupa
Mid-size: Bacolod, Batangas, Iligan, Iloilo, and San Fernando, Pampanga
Small: Dagupan, Koronadal, Legaspi, Naga, Olongapo, San Fernando (La Union), Sta. Rosa, Surigao, Tagbilaran, and Tagum

The PCCRP aims to motivate local government leaders to become economic and development managers apart from being providers of outstanding public goods and services. The study is designed to inculcate these in local government leaders as well as businesses and civil society by promoting healthy competition among cities.

The growth of local government units was a prevalent theme in the speeches and remarks during the conference. Keynote speaker Sen. Francis Pangilinan, who pushes for livable communities and urban reform in his agenda, said, “Cities must become pockets of excellence… Each city is not competing against other cities; it is competing against itself. It must surpass its own self.”

Most Competitive Cities
Muntinlupa, Olongapo and Iligan showed the most improved competitiveness

Imagine going to the weekend market, with rows of attractively decorated stalls selling a variety of goods. Each buyer may have a suki, but she is on the lookout for other good buys. Whether she eventually goes to the other stalls or sticks to her favorites, she spreads the word that the entire weekend market, not just her preferred stalls, is worth a look-see.

That marketing concept is comparable to what the Philippine Cities Competitiveness Ranking Project of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) has been trying to do in the past seven years. The surveys of businessmen and entrepreneurs, and the assessment of how the city governments operate, aim not just to encourage local governments to change their mentality “from being service providers to being economic managers.” The project wants to pinpoint where emerging economic centers are strong and where they are weak so that other cities, aspiring to also attract investors and create wealth for their people, can learn from their experience.

The AIM classified the cities into three categories: the Metro cities, or those located in Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Metro Davao; the mid-sized cities, or those with populations of 200,000 and above; and the small cities, or those with populations of less than 200,000. Each time the study was conducted—in 1999, 2002, 2003, and 2005—the number of cities covered increased, with cities asking to be included so they would know where to start, or how to move forward.

We chose to put the spotlight on cities that showed the “most improved” competitiveness from the 2003 to 2006 studies: Muntinlupa (among Metro cities), Iligan (among mid-sized cities), and Olongapo (among small cities). In focusing on those that didn’t rest on their laurels, we hope to give encouragement to other LGUs. There can be no limit to getting better.

We didn’t forget one city that has consistently improved in transparency, efficiency, investor-friendliness, and livability—Marikina. It provides valuable lessons not just about doing things better than other LGUs, but about competing with itself.

Residents here were surprised by the results of “The Philippine Cities Competitive Ranking Project 2005” of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) that ranked Iligan as one of the country’s most competitive mid-sized cities.

The surprise was understandable, for Iligan is sometimes depreciatingly but jokingly called a barangay of neighboring Cagayan de Oro. But after closely looking at the “seven drivers of competitiveness” identified by AIM’s Policy Center—cost of doing business, dynamism of local economy, linkages and accessibility, infrastructure, human resources, responsiveness of LGUs, and quality of life—many would agree that Iligan deserves the ranking.


BEST OF BOTH WORLD

“We have most of the benefits of the big cities—like good educational institutions and high technology—yet still have a laid-back life free from the traffic and the pollution,” observes accountant Sotero Trinidad, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foundation of Iligan, Inc.

The site of Mindanao’s first major hydroelectric power plant in the 1950s, Iligan grew from a small town to become the “industrial city of the south” as it attracted investors to build factories with a one major incentive other places could not offer: low power rates. Today, there are a dozen or so heavy industries in Iligan—manufacturing, steel, chemicals, cement, coconut oil, and others, employing a large portion of the city’s skilled population and luring migrants.

The National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR) eventually built two more hydroelectric power plants within the city, and three others in neighboring areas along the 40-kilometer stretch of the Agus River from Lake Lanao in Marawi City to the Iligan Bay. NAPOCOR has since carried out a “one grid, one rate” policy, charging equal power rates on all its customers in Mindanao. Data from the Department of Energy show that Mindanao still has “the lowest electricity rates in the country due to the dominance of hydroelectric power in its energy mix.”

The industrialization was boosted by the steady expansion of the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), which has been ranked by the Professional Regulation Commission as one of the country’s top 10 schools in the country in terms of performance in the various board examinations. The MSU-IIT is on the list of the Commission on Higher Education’s “centers of excellence” and “centers of development” for its programs in the sciences, information technology, and engineering.

But Iligan’s march toward industrialization, done at the expense of other sectors, stopped when the giant National Steel Corp. (NSC), the city’s biggest employer and taxpayer, closed shop in 1999. It reopened five years later with the entry of Indian investors (Global Steel Philippines, Inc.).

Noel Arquiza, head of the Iligan Investment Promotions Center, said the NSC tragedy made Iligan rethink its imbalanced development. Thus, he said, Iligan is now exploring other potential areas of investment, like agriculture and tourism, and helping out the largely ignored small and medium enterprises.

Jaime G. Asuncion, president of the Iligan City Bankers Club, said he is impressed with the way the local government unit listens to the needs of the business sector. He said that his group recently approached Mayor Lawrence Ll. Cruz to help them build a cash center for the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). For the BSP to build the center, it needs a 2,000-square-meter lot. “They [local government officials] immediately spotted a lot to donate to the BSP,” Asuncion said.

When some of the industries shut down in the wake of the NSC closure, Cruz said he allowed them to reopen and postponed the payment of the taxes so they could reopen and operate again.

Paradoxically, water supply in this “City of Waterfalls” is inconsistent. While water distribution rates are among the country’s cheapest (only P20 a month for the first 20 cubic meters for residential consumers), a large portion of the city does not have water most of the day.

Cruz said a 15-year plan, which is about to be implemented, should finally solve Iligan’s perennial water problem.

The tourism industry is almost non-existent despite Iligan’s natural scenic attractions, like its two dozen waterfalls and still unexplored caves.

Iligan is not wanting in sea ports, with eight private ports run by the industries aside from the government port, but the newly rehabilitated small airport in Balo-i, Lanao del Norte, has not attracted commercial airlines. Thus, travelers from Iligan have to drive all the way to Cagayan de Oro’s Lumbia Airport, some 100 kilometers from here.

P55M Oro-Iligan City railway project to start soon

THE Philippine National Railways turned over to Mindanao leaders the P55 million feasibility study, a gift of Thailand, to complete the final phase of preparations for the historic Cagayan de Oro-Iligan City Rail line, the first rail project in Mindanao in over a hundred years.

Construction on the first of four planned new rail lines that will crisscross Mindanao is scheduled to start in the next four months by a consortium backed by the Thai and German governments.

ABS-CBN expands network coverage

MORE in-depth stories and expanded coverage of Northern Mindanao are expected with the recent integration of TV Patrol Northern Mindanao that was launched at the station's Bulua office compound last Monday.

ABS-CBN news chief Adroel Alcober and the network's Mindanao cluster head Louis Benedict Bennett said the integration was initiated as early as last year but was only completed this year owing to technical preparations.


Local and national government officials along with representatives from the media, civil, and business sectors attended the launching.

Alcober explained that the integration means that the station's Northern Mindanao news program would be aired simultaneously in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City from 6 to 6:30 p.m.

"With the integration, we can also expect reports from Butuan City and our correspondents from Caraga region, though Butuan has a separate news program. The move towards integration was based in part on cultural similarities between Cagayan de Oro and Iligan," Alcober said.

For his part, Bennett said the expansion only signifies that TV Patrol Network Northern Mindanao isn't merely confined to the communities it serves.

"The news program is not parochial or confined to (the local area) delivering community news...it is not competing locally but on an international level," Bennett said.

The two said an eventual integration with its Butuan station may be forthcoming but not in the near future.

The network covers the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan as well as the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, Bukidnon and Camiguin and some parts of Zamboanga del Norte and Zambaonga del Sur.

The integrated TV Patrol Northern Mindanao is anchored by veteran journalists Alden Bacal and Conchita May Tanate.

Its Cagayan de Oro-Iligan reporters consist of Lorenzo Luzon, Shiela Joy Labrador, Maricel Butardo together with Iligan Senior Reporter Ronnie Enderes and Reporter Roxanne Arevalo. (Stephen Capillas)

Short Notes from a Quick Trip to Iligan
By Charles O. Sy


http://www.geocities.com/lchsspectrum/iliganbay.jpg http://www.geocities.com/lchsspectrum/gaisano06.jpg

The nice thing about revisiting Iligan after more than a year is that one is bound to discover a few visible changes around the city (in photo, left).

Among the few notable changes is the construction of the multi-storey Gaisano Mall on Roxas Avenue (in photo, right). Residents take unabashed pride in what will soon be the first shopping mall in Iligan. Everybody is eagerly looking forward to its completion this year. At present, residents have to drive an hour and a half to Cagayan de Oro just to shop in the big malls, such as the SM City and the Limketkai Center.

Another positive development that Iliganons are anticipating is the proposed improvement of the city's water supply system. The project, estimated to cost P445 million, may commence construction this year. When completed, it is expected to solve the problem of inadequate water supply in the city. Its completion should put an end to the nasty joke about Iligan being "a city of waterfalls but it's all air instead of water that comes out of its faucets."

Surprisingly, the city's once sleepy night life is heating up somewhat. More people, notably the yuppies, are now spending their nights out. Resto bars, cafes, music joints are flourishing in many parts of the city. The new Gaspachos Restaurant in Pala-o is the city's newest dining hub. It is air-conditioned, elegant and can accommodate a sizeable crowd for social functions.

There was a time not so long ago when we always had difficulty looking for a decent place to unwind after dinner. Now there's quite a few options to choose from. Among them is Teepoy's Grill on Quezon Avenue Ext. There's also the Iliganon Restaurant & Bar in Pala-o, owned by the Legaspis. Also near the City Hall is Bat-C, a cluster of trendy pubs, cafes, a sushi bar, and fastfood outlets. On weekends this place teems with a sizeable crowd of students and yuppies out to paint the town red. Another popular hangout is Club Seven in Tibanga which features acoustic music. And topping the list is El Centro, run by the Librons, right on the corner of Quezon and Roxas Avenues. Youngsters gravitate around this hangout nightly to enjoy their favorite drinks and live acoustic music. The place is often full with the crowd spilling over along the sidewalk.

Karaoke pubs, on the other hand, seem to be losing its appeal among the city's night owls. The once popular Venus KTV Bar is now history. Among the few survivors are Ramsky KTV in downtown Iligan and a few remaining honky-tonk types in the port area. The attractions these days are rock bars. A good number of bars featuring local rock bands is drawing the crowd. Among them are Frezbee in the heart of Iligan and Darryl's Bar in the uptown area. These joints were still rocking with a full house when I passed by their places at half past two in the morning. And it was not even a weekend.

Despite its progress, Iligan, as a growing city, still leaves much to be desired. Traffic in the city is horrendous and bereft of order and sanity. Aside from the jeepneys, the other means of public transport are the antiquated Minicas or PUs, most of which are dilapidated, to say the least. They are a far cry to Cagayan de Oro's taxis, many of which use brand new Toyota Altis sedans. While in Iligan, I took a PU from my hotel to the Cosmopolitan Funeral Parlor. When we reached the place, the driver stopped his PU by the side of the road for me to disembark. I told him I wanted to get off right at the parking bay of the funeral parlor. But he asked me to just disembark by the road side because he didn't want to park close to the funeral parlor. I was both amused and horrified. In this day and age, Iligan still has folks who are scared to go near a mortuary!

There's something about the people's parochial orientation or work ethics that may account for Iligan's lagging behind CdO's unstoppable progress. While CdO is moving forward by leaps and bounds, Iligan is trailing behind in turtle's pace. I had a foretaste of this when I ordered congee in a Chowking outlet while in Iligan. I've had congee many times over in various Chowking outlets in Manila, Cebu, and CdO, and each of them took no more than 10 minutes to serve my order. In Iligan, a good half hour had passed after my order and they still couldn't serve my congee. Eventually, I had my order cancelled and took my meal elsewhere instead.

The sharpest contrasts between Iligan and CdO may be gleaned from their hotels. As early as six in the morning, most hotels in CdO are already bustling with activity. Their dining rooms are already abuzz with guests partaking of the breakfast buffet. In Iligan, in the hotels I've stayed on various occasions, a simple breakfast at 7 in the morning take considerable time to get served. And serving them are grumpy waiters who look like they need some more sleep. In many of the city's supposedly high-end restaurants, the chairs were still stacked upside down on table tops when I went in at 7 a.m. for breakfast.

These cases may not necessarily characterize the city and its people as a whole. But they offer glimpses of areas that can stand improvement if Iligan is to be considered seriously as a tourism hub and as a city with a competitive edge in the global market.

^^ True. I don't understand why PUs are still being used in this city.

But there are lots of good taxis available. It's just a matter of choice. Kung gusto mag-taxi, pwede. Kung gusto mag-PU, pwede gihapon. :)

IMO dapat walaon na jud unta. Taxi nalang. Kagangkagang naman gud ang mga PUs

Ah OK. Daghan man sad tuod kagang-kagang nga PU. But for minicas, I don't think we still have them plying on Iligan streets. Dugay na man kaayo ko wa kakita ug minica.

Iligan and CDO are totally different cities.. While CDO enjoys the inflock of investments on leisure and amenities, Iligan on the other hand receives considerable investment on manufacturing. Iligan is infact the economic driver of Region10 i believe. It's unjustifiable comparing these two cities this maner.

BTW, existing pa diay ang mga PU diha? mao ba na tong mga kia pride??

@Alingatong yup.Thank God I haven't seen Minicas in Iligan.

CDO has long been considered the sister city of Iligan (many would even say twin city). Both became cities on the same year.

http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q264/roland25_ph/reg1o-railway.jpg

nah! so it should pass by Cotabato first before reaching Davao if your from CDO? :ohno: what a long trip..


i hope they build a grand station in Laguindingan w/c, should have a link to the u/c int'l airport.

CDO has long been considered the sister city of Iligan (many would even say twin city). Both became cities on the same year.

ah, so 56 years old na sad diay ang Iligan?

I see. Phase 1 of the Mindanao Railway System will be from Gingoog City to Linamon, Lanao del Norte

ah, so 56 years old na sad diay ang Iligan?

yup. mag 57 na this coming June 2007

oonga no. arent they including BXU on the 1st Phase? I guess they should. Kay murag taas pud ang ridership didto.. ILIGAN-CDO-BUTUAN should really be connected.

yup. mag 57 na this coming June 2007

Aw sakto..mao diay wa mi klase by 1st or 2nd week sa june pirmi.. Charter day man diay na nato..ehehe..karon ra nako na gets ngano mag holiday mi pirmi ug 1 day sa june...:D

oonga no. arent they including BXU on the 1st Phase? I guess they should. Kay murag taas pud ang ridership didto.. ILIGAN-CDO-BUTUAN should really be connected.

Brown man ang going to Butuan. Meaning Phase 2 na sya nabelong.

I see. Phase 1 of the Mindanao Railway System will be from Gingoog City to Linamon, Lanao del Norte :)

Buot ba ipasabot nga sa Region X mag-una ang MRS?

Buot ba ipasabot nga sa Region X mag-una ang MRS?

murag ing-ana.. cguro for freight gyud ang main "tuyo" aning MRS..ehehe..

@Boju, agi diay sa inyo ang tren..hehe

yup. murag ingon ana jud @Alingatong

@lew taga-asa diay ni si @boju?

Then, ma-imagine na nako kung unsa na ka-busy both CdO and Iligan ana nga time. Mas mopaspas pa gyud siguro ang developments sa Region X. Dako ang posibility nga CdO will become the premiere city sa Mindanao.

@lew taga-asa diay ni si @boju?

taga Dangcagan/kadingilan, sa southern bukidnon.. Aw, bukidnon sur diay.. Official na ba na?

IMO dapat walaon na jud unta. Taxi nalang. Kagangkagang naman gud ang mga PUs

DAPAT LANG JUD WALA-on ANG PU KAY PANGET SYA TANAWON, MAY GANI MI DAGHAN NA GAMAY ANG MGA TAXI SA ILIGAN... PERO ATO TAXI DRI KAY UNQUE KAY DILI NIMO MABAW-AN NA TAXI XA KAY WALAY NAKA PRINT SA IYA BODY NA TAXI, JUST LIKE DIAMOND AND FAMOUS TAXI BUT THE OTHER TAXI CUB NAA MGA PRINTS sa ILA BODY.

Buot ba ipasabot nga sa Region X mag-una ang MRS?

Yup. From what i heard ang una himuon is the Iligan-CDO phase. I have seen a map detailing the proposed railway but i cant seem to find it.

Yup. From what i heard ang una himuon is the Iligan-CDO phase. I have seen a map detailing the proposed railway but i cant seem to find it.

so this is official now.. they're building it na soon?

Ah OK. Daghan man sad tuod kagang-kagang nga PU. But for minicas, I don't think we still have them plying on Iligan streets. Dugay na man kaayo ko wa kakita ug minica.

wala naman minica's dri sa iligan, pero mga PU naa pa daghan labaw na sa gabii manggawas sila. dapat ang nga operators/owner sa PUs dapat mag upgrade pud sila og sakyanan..:)

^^ ^^If that's the case, what a blessing to both Iligan and CDO.

correct! im now imagining seeing those rail tracks in my city..:D

nice na jud diay kaayo kay madayon na ang railway system...i heard man pud sa una nga mauna na jud ang iligan-cdo route sa whole mindanao...kay mao man jud ni nga route and most busy nga route sa whole mindanao...and also to mention the industries that are in between. unsa kha nga year ni magsugod?maayo unta karon nga year aron after two years naa na.

Iligan is infact the economic driver of Region10 i believe. It's unjustifiable comparing these two cities this maner.


yes it is true with ur statement that comparing thse two cities are unjstifiable...ILIGAN is very much high in terms of industry income while CDO is much on commercial activity...BUT do you know that much of Iligan's income or revenue is at par with Cebu and Makati? ILIGAN CITY is indeed a big help to the region 10 when it comes to revenue collection...

for once i read in WOWILIGAN WEBSITE that the revenue of the PPA or Phil. Ports Authority in CDO and OZAMIZ has slowed down in a particular quarter sometime in 2006 while the whole region 10 is up by a large percentage because of ILIGAN CITY'S PPA surge in collection...it even HELPED the collection of the region despite the loss in CDOs and OZAMIZ ports combined...

^^ In fairness to the writer, Iligan is far behind compared to CdO in terms of amenities. And that's very true. For example, how many luxurious hotels, resto does Iligan have? yes, we earned more than other big cities but our big earnings is not proportional to the amenities we have.

yes CDO is a far more developed city than ILIGAN...you see CDO is strategically and geographically located in the center of national roads that pass by it...there is going to BUKIDNON and DAVAO, BUTUAN and us ILIGAN...

another thing is CDO is the Provincial Capital and REGIONAL CAPITAL so u will see much of the budget that the city has...not to mention that CDO has its own CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT so thats another budget...ILIGAN has not one of those mentioned...

BUT now, we are on the step of evolving as a sleeping city coz NSC now GLOBAL STEEL is awake...we are also having good sensed OFFICIALS now specially with the coming elections...a running for CONGRESSMAN is planning to pass a bill that would put ILIGAN City as a LONE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT apart from LANAO DEL NORTEs first and second districts...lets look at CDO as a GROWN UP neighbor who we can learn things from...

in fact ILIGAN CITY has helped CDO in its growth coz most ILIGANONS buy things from CDO specially cars and groceries...I THINK ALOT OF ILIGANONS invest in CDO...

That's not proportional coz Iligan's income is being generated more from Industries.

^^ Well, I am very optimistic that in the coming days, Iligan would regain its glory. Considering the big projects we have and the establishment of the 1st mall and the many upcoming projects, Iligan is now recommencing its prime. Go go Iligan!

That's not proportional coz Iligan's income is being generated more from Industries.

That's why most Iliganons go to other places to shop and relax because we don't have those amenities here. About 3 decades ago, people from other places came to Iligan to shop and to relax. But that was before.

^^ Well, I am very optimistic that in the coming days, Iligan would regain its glory. Considering the big projects we have and the establishment of the 1st mall and the many upcoming projects, Iligan is now recommencing its prime. Go go Iligan!

i'm very much excited about the numerous developments in our city. I hope that this will spur growth and empower iliganons by enjoying equitable access to basic services.

Then, ma-imagine na nako kung unsa na ka-busy both CdO and Iligan ana nga time. Mas mopaspas pa gyud siguro ang developments sa Region X. Dako ang posibility nga CdO will become the premiere city sa Mindanao.

Yes. There will be effective and efficient flow of people, goods and services between the two highly-urbanized cities. Both will benefit from the railway system. Go Northern Mindanao

Yup. From what i heard ang una himuon is the Iligan-CDO phase. I have seen a map detailing the proposed railway but i cant seem to find it.

if makita na nimo bai palihug ko ug post dayon diri. thanks

yes CDO is a far more developed than ILIGAN...you see CDO is strategically and geographically located in the center of national roads that pass by it...there is going to BUKIDNON and DAVAO, BUTUAN and us ILIGAN...

Dili jud proportional kay previous administrations mas interesado in developing the industries and not diversify.

If indeed the Mindanao Railway System will push through, when kaha ni masugdan? Kay ang Laguindingan Airport wa pasad :ohno:

murag ing-ana.. cguro for freight gyud ang main "tuyo" aning MRS..ehehe..

@Boju, agi diay sa inyo ang tren..hehe

Kung sa Davao papunta ang railway dili na moabot sa amoa kay moliko na naman sa Don Carlos ang way to Davao. So, dili na mabot sa Dangcagan. Mas maayo unta pod kung meron ding railway papuntang Cotabato area from our province. Pero, wala kaayo ko naimpress sa balitang yan. Alam nyo, according to the plan panghuli na yan gagawin (last phase) ang rail project CDO to Davao via Bukidnon sa lahat ng railroad phases. Biruin mo ilang phases ang MRS? 1st phase = CDO - Iligan; 2nd = CDO - Butuan; 3rd = Surigao - Butuan - Davao; 4th = Iligan - Marawi - Cotabato; 5th = Davao - GenSan; 6th= Iligan - Zamboanga provinces - Zamboanga city; 7th = CDO - Bukidnon - Davao. Yun ang nabasa ko sa isang article. Merong ibang phases dyan na pwede raw magka-interchange kung ano ang pwedeng unahin like Surigao-Butuan-Davao change date with Iligan-Marawi-Cotabato line. I'll try to find that article.

If indeed the Mindanao Railway System will push through, when kaha ni masugdan? Kay ang Laguindingan Airport wa pasad :ohno:


Kini nga pangutana nagtangag ug milyones dolyares aron matubag. Sana, sa Super Region scheme, mabigyan na 'to ng pansin.

If indeed the Mindanao Railway System will push through, when kaha ni masugdan? Kay ang Laguindingan Airport wa pasad :ohno:

Actually ang construction sa Proposed Laguindingan International Airport will start this year up to 2011 i think. There were two major projects in Northern Mindanao mentioned in the SONA of PGMA - One is the Airport and the other is the Proposed Panguil Bay Suspension Bridge that will link Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental. Siguro after that ang Mindanao Railway System na sad.

Major project for Super Region program bared


IN A bid to cut travel time between Tubod, Lanao del Norte and Tangub City by 2 hours and 30 minutes, the Arroyo administration is now trying to fund with P2.7-B the 2-kilometer bridge across Panguil Bay.

This project shall be implemented through public-private partnership as the Super region program of the government.

i read once that the MRS was scrapped in the projects last year coz the plan is shifted to the SUPER REGIONS and also the RORO projects...i hope this year GMA will activate that MRS project.

PHYSICIANS FOR PEACE MEDICAL MISSION
By: EAMayormita
CIO Press Release
January 18, 2007

The Physicians for Peace medical team, a global humanitarian organization, thru the initiative of the Iligan Cement Corporation-Lafarge in partnership with the Cruz Administration and the Rotary District Governor of America, are now on their last day of medical mission at the Gregorio T. Lluch Memorial Hospital. The team of surgeons, internists, anesthesiologists, nurses and other medical practitioners from the USA and the Philippines perform surgical procedure on thyroid, cleft lip and palate, myoma, hernia, lumps and bumps and other ailing patients, offer measuring and fitting of prosthetic limbs (artificial legs) to adult amputees, and grant 1,000 units of eyeglasses for the visually impaired. All services were rendered at no cost for the local indigent patients as the medical team carry out six major, eight medium and twenty minor operations daily in their four-day medical mission.

The Iligan City government is grateful to Dr. Teodoro Herbosa, Chairman and President of Physicians for Peace, Dr. Juan Montero, Executive Director, Mr. Robert Lane, Coordinator and to the entire organization for including Iligan in their humanitarian cause.

NPC Nature's Park

The Nature’s Park will be constructed in three phases, and is expected to be completed within three years.

Phase I will feature an orchidarium; a durian/rambutan/lanzones orchard; natural waterfalls; a bat park; a crocodile farm; a grotto in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes; a wishing well; and viewing decks along the banks of the Agus River.

Phase II, calls for the construction of an aviary; a mini-zoo; a trekking site; a hanging bridge; cottages and sheds, and a children’s island park.

Phase III involves the construction and development of special areas for kayak rides and white-water rafting; a site for rock and wall climbing; fishing grounds; cable car stations with viewing decks.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The construction of Phase I will start this year. I don't know know the exact date though.

^^ ^^:applause: :applause: Many thanks to The Physicians for Peace medical team. Iliganons are grateful to the entire organization for including Iligan in their humanitarian cause.:cheers:

^^ Dako jud sya na tabang sa katawhan sa Iligan.

If indeed the Mindanao Railway System will push through, when kaha ni masugdan? Kay ang Laguindingan Airport wa pasad :ohno:

nasugdan na man sya technically.. actually even before 2000 pa.. Before pa nasugdan ang ILOILO and NEG OCC airports.. They had already started the works on irregular terrain. Infact, i've read in SunStar that this project has already eaten up some 280 million pesos. That doesnot include the expenses on land aquisition of course.

FYI: this int'l airport project has already had 4 ground breakings. the last two was Feb2006 and in 2002.

wow tinood na nga plan sa NPC Agus VII?nindot diay na kay eco park ang theme with water sports amenities...kanus-a kaha ni sugdan? unta matinood pud to ang plan nila nga magbutang og cable car from the city hall to mt. agad2x and then putting there a theme park too overlooking iligan city...that was the plan of Councilor Busico last year which i heard over the radio...

yup. nag ground breaking na 4th quarter last year ang NPC Nature's Park. With regards sa plan ni Councilor Busico I have no idea.

thanks sa info @ lew. Is is true the airport will be operational sa 2011 pa?

thats nice kng nag ground breaking na...well, si councilor Busico man ang nag sulti ato...pro ila man gtagaan og importance ang surveillance camera and also the water project...its ok kng water project kay wlay tubig most parts of the city...

thanks sa info @ lew. Is is true the airport will be operational sa 2011 pa?

sad to say, that's the earliest possible..

@TONZI yup. mas importante man sad hinuon na ang tubig ug surveillance cameras.

yes they have spent alot with this airport project and i heard also that the terrain in that area is more of ancient coral reefs thats why they spent alot of it on land foundation...thats what i heard and i hope that the hearsay is not true about the ancient coral reefs...

^^ i see. so some parts of the land area will be reclaimed?

yes and the underlay of that area they say is an ancient coral reef thats why they keep on making sure the foundation is good...

a warf shall also be built on the area, so most probably, reclaimed.

Ted herbosa was my senior surgery resident from years back. nice to know that he provided a much needed service for iligan.

yes CDO is a far more developed city than ILIGAN...you see CDO is strategically and geographically located in the center of national roads that pass by it...there is going to BUKIDNON and DAVAO, BUTUAN and us ILIGAN...

another thing is CDO is the Provincial Capital and REGIONAL CAPITAL so u will see much of the budget that the city has...not to mention that CDO has its own CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT so thats another budget...ILIGAN has not one of those mentioned...

BUT now, we are on the step of evolving as a sleeping city coz NSC now GLOBAL STEEL is awake...we are also having good sensed OFFICIALS now specially with the coming elections...a running for CONGRESSMAN is planning to pass a bill that would put ILIGAN City as a LONE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT apart from LANAO DEL NORTEs first and second districts...lets look at CDO as a GROWN UP neighbor who we can learn things from...

in fact ILIGAN CITY has helped CDO in its growth coz most ILIGANONS buy things from CDO specially cars and groceries...I THINK ALOT OF ILIGANONS invest in CDO...

MAY TAMA KA! kami mismo taga iligan nag put up mi og business sa CDO, kay kung dri mi sa iligan lugi man mi, but good thing naa nay mall ki tukod para maka open mi og branch dri sa iligan, and dili na maglisod ang mga tao og pangita sa amo store hehe..

ARE U IN FAVOR THAT OUR CITY WILL HAVE ITS OWN CONG. DISTRICT?

para sakin i think it's tym that iligan will have its own cong. district, anyway na rich naman sto city ang required population of 280,000 (right now that total population of our city is 349,998.) and our city income is very high. dapat lang pud na mabulag ang iligan sa lanao del norte kay iligan is not part of lanao norte, iligan is a city na jud xa daan before pa na form ang municipalities sa lanao norte

pero ayaw pud tawn isarado inyong branch sa CDO ha? :D

usang branch?

Yeah, it's about time to have our very own congressional district. Besides, I don't like our current congressman doing as of now.

Also, our city is categorized as Highly Urbanized City and the same time, chartered city. So, we are independent from Lanao del Norte since 1953 :D.

I am in favor of iligan having its own congressional district. it's high time for us to be separated from the 1st district of lanao del norte. this move will also provide additional financial resource for our city.

@WawaY[625] negosyo nila ni Iliganon Boy sa CDO

no we will not close our store in cdo, may sister in cdo to manage it...

@iliganon Boy where did you get the latest population census?

It's time! Iligan deserves to be be well represented in the congress..

Oops, I forgot to tell you. It's just my opinion on the said congressman. :D

Though he contributed the development of our city, I don't like the way he campaigns for previous years. Like for example, the overpass in Tibanga. I rather call it Tibanga Overpass than Badelles Millenium Overpass.

Just my opinion, once again.

By the way, what traffic system in Iligan are currently using? SCATS?

I am for a separate congressional district of Iligan..and even perhaps a separate region where Iligan is the regional capital...hows that hehehe:)

we're happy with region 10. we can't leave our sister city CDO :D ok na ang lone district for iligan.

^^ ^^Yes, Iligan deserves to be well represented in the congress but who's that deserving ONE to represent Iligan. Kanang dili TRAPO nga maligdong ang pagkatawo ug matinud-anon gayod sa iyang panerbesyo sa katawhan. ???

Correct! Besides, breaking out a region into parts will result to reduced dynamism.. Kaya nga GMA is pushing for mega regions right? Same with ASEAN integration.. Sorry but, CRAZY IDEA...:nuts:

but Iligan could be more happier if it has its own niche.

history and culturewise..Iligan is distinct from that of Misamis and the rest of Region 10.

economically the city gave much and seems getting less in return. :bash:
I would like to see equitability here. Before; Iligan just played behind the shadows of Cotabato when it was under Region 12. Now its in Region 10 nabalhain na pod siya.

If I may recall the entire Mindanao once depend heavily on Iligan's hydropower
resources. I think the city now should deserve the prestige and distinction it rightfully owns

kung hatagan ug appropriate prestige ang Iligan..she would surely shine behind just the shadows. She will be very very progressive I can surely see

Iligan is very much progressive.. infact, i've read somewhere, Iligan is growing faster than CDO. It also says, Iligan could possibly overtake CDO in 10 years if the trend continues.. Which perhaps didnt enjoy by this city when it was still part of R12.. We are very one here.. Our officials are working together as one, for greater progress..
I guess the reason why Iligan and Lanao Norte shift to R10 is because of CIC..

I agree to that. Iligan did show a lot of shining after the peace and order in Lanao had improved. iT has also become more promising after it was realligned to R10.

But I just wondered why the bulk of component of the CIC was more towards Misamis/CDO side.? just my few cents curiousity lang Lew ha

Youre refering to Int'l Container terminal and LIA right? That i also dont know.. :)

anyway, there's an u/c Iligan-Bukidnon road. That shall cut the travel time to Western Mindanao for those coming from the south. A massive project indeed!

^^ According to the CIC plan i read. Iligan will remain the Industrial Center despite the opening of PHIVIDEC where the international port is located.

cong.tikbong is doing great to our city oi! sya bya nag palapad sa dalan sa tibanga highway, og sa iligan-bukidnon road

What i wish unta kay lapad ang dalan from Dalipuga to Buruun (6-8 lanes if possible) ug butangan nyag island sa tunga.

anyway, there's an u/c Iligan-Bukidnon road. That shall cut the travel time to Western Mindanao for those coming from the south. A massive project indeed!

yes it will cut the travel time and there will be efficient flow of goods (especially agri products) from the south making it less expensive.
