Gikompirmar ni konsehal voltaire rovira, chairman sa committee on information and communication technology, nga mamahimo ng makita live sa internet ang pipila ka mga areas sa iligan nga sakop sa surveillance camera.

Atol sa pakighinabi sa rmn-iligan ngadto sa konsehal, gibutyag niini nga tulo ka mga dapit ang makita sa internet – ang central monitoring area, elcentro ug ang plaza. Kinahanglan lamang I-search ang internet protocol address kun IP address aron maka-access sa mga nasampit nga mga dapit.

Suportado usab ni mayor lawrence cruz ang maong surveillance camera system project ni rovira. Plano sa lokal nga kagamhanan nga I-broadcast ang mga dagkong kalihukan sa siyudad karong umabot nga fiesta aron masaksihan kini sa mga iliganong atu-a gawas sa nasud. Duna pay pipila ka mga areas ang ma-access pagkahuman sa bag-ong city government website nga kasamtangang gi-construct pa karon.

Gikatakdang I-turn-over ang maong proyekto ni rovira karong septymbre. Samtang ng ilusad usab ang bag-ong government website sunod bulan.

-------------------------
pure bisaya ra ba...pcenxa sa wa nkasabot

My attempt to translate:

It is confirmed by Councilor Voltaire Rovira, Chairman of Committee on Information and Communication Techology, that it is possible to view the parts of city in surveillance camera live through Internet.

According to the interview in RMN (Radio Mindanao Network, dxIC most likely) to the said councilor, there are three locations that can be seen via Internet: Central Monitoring Station, El Centro, and Iligan City Plaza. You have to key in the IP address in the address bar of any internet browser in order to access the website.

Mayor Lawrence Cruz is supportive to Rovira's project on installing surveillance cameras. It was local government's plan to broadcast the videos for the fiesta this coming September to see the Iliganons worldwide. There are more sites to access after the city government is done on reconstructing the website.

It was scheduled to be turned-over the project to city government this September It is also scheduled to relaunch the City Government Website next month.

I hope the DPWH can fix that. Some areas of the national highway have undergone rehabilitation already. That particular area should have been a priority.

Re telco cables...those were already fastened together sometime ago(with the initiative of the city gov't) to reduce the clutter/cobwebs. IMHO they should have thought of a long term solution for this problem too.

Iligan, Ozamiz clash

Iligan City – Nat Cruz scored the biggest shot of the night with barely a second left to help Firefly-Iligan nip Toyota-Iloilo Warriors, 68-66, Thursday at the packed MSU-IIT gym here and arrange a best- of-three title showdown with defending champion Ozamiz Cotta in the 2007 Spring Cooking Oil-NBC National Cup basketball tournament.

Mayor Lawrence Cruz’s Crusaders and the Cotta Shrine cagers of Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog open their series at 6p.m. today at the Gov. Angel Medina Sr. gym in Ozamiz City.

Ozamiz is seeking its fourth straight crown in the tourney supported by Sulpicio Lines, Spring Cooking Oil, Yahoo Phils., San Miguel Beer, Caltex, Sun Cellular, Firefly Lightings, Trans Asia Shipping Lines, Molten, Nature’s Spring, Basketball TV and Viva Prime Channel.

After trying the game for the last time at 65 with a split at the stripes with four seconds left, veteran Bong Morata grabbed the rebound and attempted. His shot was too strong, but the ball went to Cruz, who quickly put in for only his second field goal of the night.

"This is sweet. Nat (Cruz) didn’t give up on the last play. It’s the best win for us so far in this conference," said Iligan mentor Eric Samson.

Iloilo grabbed the lead for the last time at 66-65 on Eldrin Senieres’ triple with one minute remaining. Then came Marata’s free throw and Cruz’s decisive putback.

Scores:

Iligan 68 – Matias 12, Saladaga 12, Cabili 12, Hardin 6, Cruz 6, Marata 6. Guiyab 4, Go 4, Kalaw 2, Gatchalian 2, Sta. Cruz 2, Mangahas 0.

Iloilo 66 – Balgos 18, Senieres 16, Tan 11, Dedicatoria 9, Leonida 3, Guerrero 3, Sencil 2, Laborte 2, Guanco 2, Sina-on 0, Pelopero 0, Cortel 0, Tizon 0.

Quarters: 19-16, 41-38, 52-49, 68-66.

1. CONTROL ROOM - I'm looking at this guy right now wearing just a dark T-shirt, shorts and slippers. Pls tell Atty. Rovira that if they intend to keep this cam public, the operators must wear appropriate clothing in this room. It's not professional looking. Maayo pa hatagan na lang nilag uniform.
2. DALIPUGA - ipa trim ang mga kahoy sa daplin kay nag block sa view sa karsada. The cam should have been on the opposite side of the road where can more favorably view all incoming and outgoing traffic.
3. TRAFFIC LIGHT - is this a PTZ? If not, this is a bad position. It cannot see the traffic from Dalipuga and Buru-un sides! This must be repositioned to a more advantageous spot. Let it pan, too.
4. PLAZA - let it pan just like the DALIPUGA cam, but more slowly.

3.

11 - Lanao Advisory Council members sworn to office
Saturday, August 11 2007 @ 04:54 PM BST

Many of the conflicts in the Lanao areas were resolved by the sultans rather than by the local chief executives.

"This is because the sultans are still being looked up to by reason of traditional respect from their constituents which is a big factor in achieving peace and development in their areas," said Secretary Jesus Dureza of Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process.

"It's actually the sultans who the government sought assistance from in resolving cases such as kidnap for ransom that happened in the past. But more than that is our concern to improve the lives of the people in their communities and let them have access on some of our resources, because admittedly, there are still areas, especially in Lanao del Sur, which are still a little underprivileged," he said.

Executive Order No. 602 which was signed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on February 2007, created the Lanao Advisory Council (LAC), which is composed of 16 Royal Sultanates from the two Lanao provinces including the cities of Marawi and Iligan and some towns in Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon.

Dureza said the LAC will be provided an annual funding of P1 million for its administrative and operational expenses to be sourced out from the budget of the Office of the President.

Meanwhile, the 16 Royal Sultanates have manifested their willingness to participate and contribute towards the development of Mindanao and the promotion of peace in their area pf responsility during their recent oath taking at Pryce Plaza Hotel, this city.

"We are very thankful to President Arroyo for issuing EO 602 which is the first of its kind issued by a President of our country. Malaki ang magagawa ng LAC (the LAC can do much) for the peace process," said Sultan Topaan D. Disomimba, Sultan Bzar of Masiu, LAC Chairperson.

"Hindi mareresolba ang problema sa Mindanao sa pamamaraan ng giyera kundi sa mga peace process. Tuloy-tuloy 'yan kahit maraming nanghaharang (The Mindanao problem can never be resolved by war but through the peace process which we hope to continue despite the obstacles). We are willing to give peace a chance in Mindanao," he added.

Other LAC officials who took their oaths include Sultans Farouk R. Sharif of Taporog, Vice Chairpersons on Internal Affairs, Ali Manding of Bayang, V-C on External Affairs, Bangonan M. Masnar of Balo-i, Secretary, Mamasaranao B. Mulok of Pagayawan, Treasurer and Apsin Pandapatan of Ditsaan, Executive Adviser.

Members: Sultans Kimal Mona of Butig, Pagaranganan N. Mitmug, of Mintupad, Calicozaman Basman of Bansayan, Bangcola M. Adtha of Rogon, Patadatu Bayas of Ramain, Nasser Magomnang of Maribo, Saidali Baniaga of Borocot, Bacolod M. Maurac of Bacolod, Manaros A. Simbaan, Datu a Cabugatan sa Masiu and Macaurog Guinar, Sultan a Domalondong sa Butig.

Dureza has been conferred the traditional title "Ayonan Datu sa Pilipinas" by the Sultans after their oath-taking.

Complete with the ceremonial installation of a Royal Diokeet or Crown and Diawa or Kris as symbols of power and authority, the title which means "Prime Mover or Chief Decision-Maker," was presented by the group led by its Chairperson, Sultan Topaan Disomimba of Masiu.

After the coronation, Dureza thanked the sultanates for their trust and confidence in conferring him such title, saying he has accepted it with great humility and pride in his capacity as Secretary of the Peace Process and promised to perform all the obligations and responsibilities that go with it.

"There is so much that the traditional leadership will be able to do to assist the Philippine government headed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and the whole officialdom of seeing to it that we have peace and development in our midst," Dureza said.

He said during the time of former President Fidel V. Ramos, the municipality of Tamparan, Lanao del Sur through Disomimba's father also conferred the title of adopted son to the Secretary and that his coronation is just the culmination of that adoption.

"Somehow I consider this an acknowledgement for my efforts in working for peace and development of the whole country. This is an honor that I would always cherish with more enthusiasm for working on the many challenges of Mindanao," he said.

Dureza said the country has indeed a very diverse culture as there are Muslims, Lumads and Christians, "and out of this diversity, we must look for opportunities that make up for sustainable development."

To be able to do this, he said "we have to understand and accept our cultural differences. This is the role of the sultanate that we have to pursue."

"We have to pursue social conditions to build relationships and win peace not through fighting or conflicts but by fostering understanding of our diverse cultures," Dureza stressed.

Moreover, he said, instead of mainstreaming people or converting them, "we must allow each one to live his own way and accept his/her differences and in so doing, we are able to live together as one big society."

"I am sure the sultanates will symbolize the traditional leadership that came before government and the republic as they govern with all legitimate authority in their own areas of responsibility," he added.

He urged the 14 sultanates to preserve this traditional hierarchy of governance "which we found to be very effective in solving conflicts or disputes, such as 'rido' or feuds among and between families."

"I hope with this conferment, the government and the sultanates will be together as 'one' in working for the peace and development of Mindanao," he concluded. (PNA)

Ganda ng pier nyo.. The best..^^ ang linis.. Sobrang layo nga lang ng nilakad namin...Tsk!

Thanks for the wonderful pics @FX

^^ Unsa gani na nga bundok yang pinakamataas na malapit dyan sa picture?

Mt. Agad-Agad.

@greg, alingatong, et al can answer that... Ganda no? Sana mag initiate ang LGU ng ILIGAN(if that's stil part of ILIGAN) na magtayo ng park dun, similar to Cebu's Tops, or cguro CDO's HighRidge..

Sarap ng tubig sa Timoga...ang lamig.. We are definitely going back..very soon..

Mt. Agad-agad yan. It's not the highest but nearest to the city proper

There was a plan back then to construct Mt. Agad-agad View Park. Ewan ko lang ano na nangyari.

Meron ding plano before to install cable cars from CT Hall to Mt. Agad-Agad Park. Hindi lang siguro priority ng local gov't. kaya hanggang plano pa lang muna. Baka in the coming years, matupad na rin. :)

Maganda nga talaga yong IBJT. Iba yong dating, parang hindi bus terminal. And you're right. Ang daming dapat i-semento. Sana, tinapos muna yong terminal bago nag-operate.

constrained areas: elevated land with slopes of more than 18 degrees, micro and major watersheds, rivers and natural waterways, mined areas, legally constrained agrarian reform lands, SAFDZ and Non SAFDZ areas, ancestral domains and timberlands.

The rugged and mountainous topography of Iligan City is undoubtedly one of its major advantages. It is endowed with numerous waterfalls, caves, springs and mountain peaks.

Iligan wins, faces Ozamiz

Inquirer
Last updated 05:48am (Mla time) 08/12/2007

ILIGAN CITY, Philippines—Nat Cruz scored with barely a second left to lift Firefly-Iligan past Toyota-Iloilo, 68-66, Thursday at the MSU-IIT gym here and arrange a best-of-three title duel with reigning titlist Ozamiz Cotta in the 2007 Spring Cooking Oil-NBC National Cup basketball tournament.

Mayor Lawrence Cruz’s Crusaders and the Cotta Shrine cagers of Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog open their series at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Gov. Angel Medina Sr. gym in Ozamiz City.

After tying the game for the last time at 65 with a split at the stripes with four seconds left, veteran Bong Morata grabbed the rebound and attempted. His shot was too strong, but the ball went to Cruz, who quickly put it in for only his second field goal of the night.

“This is sweet. Nat (Cruz) didn’t give up on the last play,” said Iligan coach Eric Samson. “It’s the best win for us so far in this conference.”
The loss was a big blow to the Warriors of businessman Robert Uy and Mayor Jerry Trenas, who came from the wildcard phase to inch a game away from the finals after beating Iligan in Game 1 of the semis series.

The Warriors trimmed Iligan’s 41-31 lead to 38-41 at the turn.

The scores:

ILIGAN 68—Matias 12, Saladaga 12, Cabili 12, Hardin 6, Cruz 6, Marata 6, Guiyab 4, Go 4, Kalaw 2, Gatchalian 2, Sta. Cruz 2, Mangahas 0.

ILOILO 66—Balgos 18, Senieres 16, Tan 11, Dedicatoria 9, Leonida 3, Guerrero 3, Sencil 2, Laborte 2, Guanco 2, Sina-on 0, Pelopero 0, Cortel 0, Tizon 0.

Quarters: 19-16, 41-38, 52-49, 68-66

Iligan trips Ozamiz in Game 1

The Firefly-Iligan Crusaders came from behind to beat three-time champion Ozamiz Cotta, 88-83, in game 1 of their best-of-three series for the 2007 Spring Cooking Oil-NBC National basketball title Saturday at the Gov. Angel Medina gym here.

Marlon Kalaw and rookie Ian Saladaga led a blistering rally in the payoff period that saw Mayor Lawrence Cruz’s Crusaders wrest control of the game after playing catch-up for three quarters.

Kalaw and Saladaga combined for 12 points as Iligan opened a seven-point 80-73 lead and moved a step closer to its first-ever title in the four-year regional cagefest supported by Sulpicio Lines, Spring Cooking Oil, Yahoo Phils., San Miguel Beer, Caltex, Sun Cellular, Firefly Lightings, Trans Asia Shipping Lines, Molten, Nature’s Spring, BasketballTV and Viva Prime Channel.

“This is really big. I have to give it to my players for holding their ground. But this is not yet over. I expect Ozamiz to bounce back but we are ready,” said Iligan coach Eric Samson.

The Crusaders try to wrap up the crown against Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog’s Cotta Shrine cagers at 6 p.m. today at the MSU-IIT gym in Iligan City.

Marata led the Crusaders with 21 points on six-of-nine shooting while Nat Cruz added 18 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks.

With reigning MVP Marlon Basco carrying the load, Ozamiz led 27-21, 46-45 and 67-66 in the first three stanzas.

But Marata, Kalaw and Saladaga erupted at the right time to produce the shock triumph, which threatened to end Ozamiz’s three straight crown rampage.

The scores

Iligan (88) -�" Marata 21, Cruz 18, Kalaw 12, Saladaga 12, Go 9, Hardin 6, Mangahas 4, Sta. Cruz 3, Cabili 2, Guiyab 1, Matias 0.

Ozamiz (83) -�" Basco 15, Dacia 13, Cavan 11, Bansil 10, Nicdao 8.pilo 8, Liangco 8, Alberto 7, Gatumbato 3, Balares 0, Alvarado 0.

Quarterscores: 21-27, 45-46, 66-67, 88-83

Actually, they did not cut off the links of those cameras. Accordingly, the UPS (uninterruptible power supply) of those cams did not function well after last Saturday's power interruption. They have to manually reset the system to make it online again. Anyways, they're still on the stage of fine tuning the whole system before the final turnover. :)

A Taste of the Bangkok Nightlife comes to Iligan City
Sunday 12th of August 2007

The New Nightspot in Iligan City is under construction. The owners (yours truely & Mylen) have decided that Bangkok Nights will open to the public on 1 September 2007. The pre-opening party is on 31 August 2007. Construction is moving quickly but like most projects of this size - we are over budget. We are walking the line between having the bare minimum to open and having the club the way we would like it to be. I am sure this is a compromise that is encountered often. I am sure that the months to come will bring continuous improvements.

It is my desire that the customers of Bangkok Nights contribute to this Blog. Please tell us what we have done right and where we need to improve.

Thanks

3. Iligan's Population is 298,000? is this updated? I think 1995/2000 data pa 'to.
4.Medyo magulo ang map hehe

In Tourism, every detail matters!

Re RoadTrip Iligan

1. We have iligan promotional tarpaulin at different airports: Kalibo, Aklan, Tagbilaran in Bohol and Camiguin. Meron ba tayo sa mga major airports?

2.Good to know that the tourism staff and some residents of Buruun conducted a clean-up & landscaping at Mimbalut Falls. Last July 8 grabe ang dumi ng daanan from Fisheries going to Mimbalut.

Iligan Crusaders outlast Ozamiz
By Richel V. Umel
Lanao correspondent

Iligan City's Crusader team beats Ozamiz City Shrine Cotta team last Saturday night during the National Basketball Conference (NBC) best of three series game 1 with score of 88-83.

Played at Medina College gymnasium, Ozamiz took the lead, 27-21, in the first quarter and sustained this in the third quarter.

However, the Iligan Crusaders changed strategies and led until the end of the last quarter with Bong Marata scoring 21 points and Nat Cruz with 18 points.

Cruz was injured due to an intentional foul at the last quarter.

Sports coordinator Freddie Siao said his office has all-out support from Iligan City Mayor Lawrence Cruz to nurture and build a well-disciplined team to bring the good name of Iligan in all fields of sport events.

Mayor Cruz said the Crusaders will double their efforts in Tuesday's second encounter with Ozamiz City in Game 2 at its home court in Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) gymnasium at 6 p.m.

Ozamiz City Mayor Reynaldo Parojenog meanwhile said Ozamiz has garnered prestige as a four-time champion of NBC basketball tournament.

Saturday's game was witnessed by Monsignor Jeemar Vera Cruz of Iligan City-Lanao del Norte diocese, Councilor Jose Zalzos, MSU President Ricardo De Leon, and other officials.

PMA silent drill to thrill NorMin crowd August 21
by Rutchie Cabahug-Aguhob

Precision of movements, timing and unison in executing traditional dance steps, greetings of hello and good bye and other values embedded in the Filipino culture without sounding the commands.

These are only some of the scenes that go with the rhythm of the drums when cadets of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class of 2008 will perform the Silent Drill at the Pelaez Sports Center, this city on Aug. 21, 2007 at 2:00 p.m.

About 74 cadets belonging to the class, of whom 9 are women, will take part in the exhibition to give, not only the city residents but also those of the neighboring areas, a glimpse of what it's like.

"This is our way of bringing PMA closer to the people. We cannot bring them to Baguio City, home of PMA, to see the cadets do the Silent Drill. So we bring the cadets to do it here and give our residents the opportunity to interact with them," Major Samuel C. Sagun, Chief, Public Affairs Office of the 4th Infantry Division, Philippine Army, said.

Himself a member of PMA "Tanglaw-Diwa" Class of 1992, Sagun said this time the PMA cadets will deviate from the tradition of giving arrival honors exclusively to the President of the country, visiting heads of states, foreign dignitaries and top cabinet officials of the government.

"At about 8:00 a.m. of the same day, Aug. 21, PMA Class 2008 will render such honors to the newly elected Mayor of the City, Atty. Constantino Jaraula at the city's Kagawasan Kiosk, Divisoria Bandstand, after which those interested to pose for a photo session with the cadets in their full dress gray parade uniforms may be accommodated," he said.

While in the city, the cadets will be given time to enjoy the ambiance of the malls, join their foster families and see some of the tourist attractions, as well as engage themselves in friendly athletic games with the PMA Alumni Association at 4ID, PA, Camp Evangelista, Barangay Patag.

They will also do school visits to show some visual presentations about the PMA, their life as cadets to include the benefits they enjoy as government scholars and other information about the PMA Cadetship Program.

The visit of PMA Class 2008 is among the preparatory activities lined-up by the local government unit of Cagayan de Oro for the celebration of the Aug. 28 feast of St. Augustine, the city patron saint.

It is also set a few days before the PMA entrance examination given Aug. 26, 2007 in several testing centers nationwide for upcoming cadets to compose Class 2011.

To qualify, applicants must be a natural-born Filipino citizen, physically fit and of good moral character, single and have never been married, stands at least 5'4" (162.56 cm.) if male and 5"2" (157.48 cm.) if female, at least a high school graduate with a grade point average of 85% or higher and at least 17 years old but not a day older than 22 years on April 1, 2008.

In region 10, the PMAEE will be conducted in the following testing centers: Cagayan de Oro College (COC), Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis University (MU), Ozamiz City and MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, Iligan City.

Meanwhile, Sagun said applications for the PMAEE can be downloaded and accepted online at http://www.pma.ph, hence, encouraged to save on time and cost on the part of the applicants.

For more details, those interested may contact the Office of Cadet Admissions, PMA, Fort Del Pilar, Baguio City or call: Telefax: (O74) 447-8002, Trunk Lines, (074) 447-3690 loc. 6751 or 6752, Cell nos. 0927-3810493 or 0918-582384 and Military Line, (074) 447-3690/4476-3886 loc. 6620. (PIA 10)

The Napocor will develop the site of the Maria Cristina Hydroelectric plant , into a natures park. It broke ground last Sept. 22, 2006. NPC Nature’s Park is located within an eight-hectare area inside the Agus 6 & 7 Hydroelectric Power Plant Complex in Fuentes, Maria Cristina, the park will host the Hydro Power Science Centrum, the first such facility of NPC in the Mindanao region.

Among other amenities are a museum and exhibit hall; conference rooms; an orientation hall. 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.

NPC said that the initial funding for the project will be sourced from the projected savings in MinGen’s 2006 budget.

Once operational, the nature park is expected to bring in additional revenues of about P6 million per year, thus allowing NPC to recover the project cost within a four-year period. Entrance fee will be less than P50 .

NPC said the project will enhance the tourism potential of the Maria Cristina Falls and will raise public awareness on NPC’s hydro power operations. At the same time, the park is designed to protect and preserve the environment, while providing livelihood and business opportunities for the host-communities living near the Agus complex.

A Taste of the Bangkok Nightlife comes to Iligan City
Sunday 12th of August 2007

The New Nightspot in Iligan City is under construction. The owners (yours truely & Mylen) have decided that Bangkok Nights will open to the public on 1 September 2007. The pre-opening party is on 31 August 2007. Construction is moving quickly but like most projects of this size - we are over budget. We are walking the line between having the bare minimum to open and having the club the way we would like it to be. I am sure this is a compromise that is encountered often. I am sure that the months to come will bring continuous improvements.

It is my desire that the customers of Bangkok Nights contribute to this Blog. Please tell us what we have done right and where we need to improve.

Okay. Just a note. Iligan City is highly urbanized city. That means, it is independent from Provincial Government of Lanao del Norte's affairs.

Both.

By geographical location: By region, by city and by province. Regional threads are pinned to the top. If the province can't sustain its own thread and there is an existing thread for the capital then both are merged.

By topic: This usually happens when a thread for a city or province goes too fast. For example, 2 years ago, there was only 1 thread for Cebu but then it went too fast that there was a new thread every 5 days so it was divided by topic into the main thread, the projects and construction thread, the heritage thread and the infrastructure thread. And as you cited, the Davao thread which has been divided to the main thread, projects and construction, food, outdoors and infrastructure

Iligan City Council thanks PCCDC
For installing solar panels in remote Purok Limunsudan
Monday, August 13, 2007

The City Council of Iligan has passed a resolution thanking President Cyril C. Del Callar for donating five solar panels to Barangay Rogongon in Iligan City.Approved last June 19, 2007 by the Sangguniang Panlungsod was Resolution No. 07-396, which expresses “the city’s heartfelt thanks to Cyril C. Del Callar, President, National Power Corporation, for giving five (5) units of solar panels for the hinterland barangays of Iligan City”.

“What is praiseworthy about it was that NPC gave the panels without cost to the City Government,” the 13-member City Council added. NPC’s solar electrification project in Barangay Ragongon will benefit 51 households in Purok Limunsudan, which is home to indigenous tribes like the Higaonons and the Maranaos. With a land area of more than 9,000 hectares, the said purok is the biggest part of Barangay Ragongon.

Unfortunately, Purok Limunsudan is also the most remote part of the barangay, located roughly 27 kilometers from the city proper and standing 250-1,500 meters above sea level. Because of Iligan City Council thanks PCCDC its distance, the purok has very little access to basic government services, including electricity.

With the help of the Iligan City Government, NPC’s Small Power Utilities Group installed five solar battery charging stations in Purok Limunsudan last July 5-9. By SPUG’s estimates, the energy generated by the solar panels will be enough to power up small appliances like cassette radios, as well as the 10-watt fluorescent lamps that NPC installed in each of the 51 beneficiary-houses. The project is also expected to benefit the two small schools in the purok.

The solar electrification project in Purok Limunsudan is NPC’s prompt response to the request of some local government leaders in Iligan City, who expressed concern that some barangays in the city remain without electricity due to their remoteness and the prohibitive cost of energizing these barangays.

MinGen donates P65T to Gawad Kalinga
August 6, 2007

The MinGen Golf Club, through Vice President Pasayud M. Macarambon, recently donated P65,000 to the Gawad Kalinga (GK) Development Community
Foundation Inc. The amount, which was turned over to GK Provincial Head Judi Bentoy last July 17, will go to the construction of one GK house for the foundation.

It was the second time that the Mindanao Generation Group had donated to GK. Last year, employees of the Agus 6/7 Hydroelectric Power Plant Complex also donated funds for the construction of one GK house during the GK Fiesta Build held in September.

The donation made by the MinGen Golf Club represents the proceeds from the Open Golf Tournament for a Cause, which was held at the Golf and Country Club of Iligan at Tipanoy, Iligan City. The tournament was sponsored by the MinGen Golf Glub. Dr. Macarambon formally turned over the donation to GK during the special management meeting of the MinGen Group. The MinGen Golf Club is headed by Mr. Palawan A. Lomondaya, plant manager of Agus 1 & 2.

GSPI delays tin plate production

Indian-owned Global Steelworks Philippines Inc. (GSPI), the largest steelmaker in the country, has moved back its production schedule for tin plates before end of this year instead of its target schedule of last month, July.

GSPI, however, declined to confirm the delays in the firm’s tin plate production but stressed that the company is committed to produce tin plates for the local market.

"We are tying up with our end consumers to ensure market within the country and we have already made considerable investments in the (tin) plate mill rehabilitation," said a GSPI official in a text message.

Henry Tanedo, president of the Tin Can Manufacturers Association of the Philippines Inc. (TCMAPI), has confirmed that GSPI has not been able to produce tin plates until now.

"They cannot produce as of now. Hopefully, by the fourth quarter of 2007," Tanedo said.

According to Tanedo, GSPI made the assurance to local can producers that it may only be able to produce tin plates towards the end of 2007 or months after its July 2007 target production.

During its presentation in May, GSPI committed to finally produce tin plates to meet domestic demand. At present, majority of the country’s tin plate requirement are imported from nearby Asian countries.

The Philippines is supposed to be GSPI’s only production site for tin plate.

But GSPI is producing hot rolled coils as well as cold rolled coils at its Iligan plant.

Delays in tin plate is expected to cut GSPI’s total sales revenues for the year.

GSPI said it intends to sell 32,000 metric tons (MT) of tin plates for the rest of 2007 which would easily translate to million in sales revenues for the year. Such proceeds are expected to account for 5 percent of GSPI’s 2007 revenue forecast of 3.63 million.

Lanao Norte still without a lawmaker
By Lino dela Cruz
Iligan correspondent

* Comelec has yet to resolve controversial certificates of canvass

ILIGAN CITY-- Three months after the May 14, 2007 elections, the First District of Lanao del Norte is still without a representative because a poll controversy has yet to be resolved.

The controversy arose a few days after voting day on May 14 this year, when the padlocks of three ballot boxes containing the Certificates of Canvass (COC) from the towns of Kauswagan, Bacolod and Maigo, Lanao del Norte were foundto have been destroyed.

National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) investigators confirmed the ballot boxes were tampered.

The lawyers of United Opposition congressional candidate and former Iligan City councilor Vicente Belmonte Jr. contended that there was tampering of the COCs of the three towns using correction fluid.

They asked the Commission on Election (Comelec) to set aside the canvassing of these COCs because of manifest errors and base the canvassing on other authentic copies of COCs in the possession of the National Movement for Free Election-Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (Namfrel-PPCRV) and the copy of the Liberal Party (LP).

On these authentic copies, Belmonte garnered 59,932 votes, Angelique Badelles (Kampi) got 46,600 and former Lanao del Norte governor Imelda Dimaporo (Lakas-CMD) had 43,403 votes.

Belmonte filed a petition to correct the manifest errors on the original COCs of the three towns showing Dimaporo winning in the three towns with 26,213 votes, thereby offsetting Belmonte's lead.

The Comelec directed the Special Provincial Board of Canvassers (SPBOC) to refrain from proclaiming any candidate and further directed it to bring the controversial ballot boxes containing the questioned COCs to the Comelec 2nd Division in Manila.

Dimaporo's lawyers then filed a petition with the Comelec 2nd Division for lack of jurisdiction, contending that the case at hand is a pre-proclamation case and should be resolved by the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal (HRET).

But the Comelec 2nd Division granted Belmonte's petition to exclude the controversial COCs from the towns and Dimaporo's lawyers elevated the case to the Comelec en banc for resolution.

As of this date, the Comelec en banc has yet to calendar the hearing on the controversy and resolve the case.

Constituents from Iligan City and the towns of Linamon, Kauswagan, Bacolod, Maigo, Kolambugan, Tubod, Baroy in Lanao del Norte, which constitute the First Congressional District, are eagerly waiting for the Comelec en banc to resolve the controversy so that the proclamation of the winning candidate will not be delayed further.

But it seems the drought is about to come to an end as the Duterte Agilas opens its title hunt Aug. 16 at the start of the basketball event of the RRD-Kadayawan Sports 5 p.m. at the Davao City Recreation Center.

The Agilas will face two Cebu teams, M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala and Arthro Kontra Arthritis, as well as teams from Iligan City of Mayor Lawrence Cruz and Montaña Pawnshop of Armand Quibod in the five-day tournament which is part of the 17 events in the Kadayawan sports festival.

Bannered by skills-rich homegrown talents Eder Saldua and Jay-r Atablanco, who once played in the Philippine Basketball League, the Agilas is expected to do everything possible to cop its first Kadayawan title and end the drought.

The Agilas had the chance to bag its first Kadayawan title after beating the highly-fancied Ozamiz Cotta in the semis last year but just fell short to the potential 2007 PBA draft first pick JR Quinahan-led Arthro Kontra Arthritis.

The Agilas has been consistent in making it to the final four in the previous Kadayawan leagues and many are expecting that the Davao City goodwill team will reach the finals this year.

Expected to back up Saldua and Atablanco in the backcourt are John Gonzaga, Louie Medalla and sweet-shooting Roderick Ramos while Arian Daja and Chris Jatico are anticipated to provide the firepower at the paint for the Agilas.

Meanwhile, security will be tight in the whole duration of the tournament and City Sports Coordinator Christopher “Bong” Go is requesting the spectators to cooperate.

"We know it is going to be overcrowded and our security personnel will be strict. Alam mo naman basta basketball, talagang puntahan nang tao 'yan," said Go.

Admission is free, said Go, as per instruction of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.

The opening ceremony is scheduled at 5 p.m. Aug. 16 at the Davao City Recreation Center with Acting Mayor Sara Zimmerman Duterte leading officials in the opening rites. (Rico Biliran / MindaNews)

Iligan ferro-nickel project, Masbate gold mine to open

By MELODY M. AGUIBA

The government is anticipating the opening of an Iligan ferro-nickel project and the construction of the $ 120-million Masbate gold mine this year which will form part of some $ 500 million in mining investment in 2007.

Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) Director Horacio C. Ramos said the Platinum Group of Metals Corp.’s (PGMC) ferro-nickel project will open next month with a capacity of 36,900 metric tons (MT) per year.

Moreover, a separate 11,100 MT per year ferronickel project of PGMC in Manticao, Misamis Oriental will also be opened next year.

A softening of nickel prices is apparently not stopping the development of nickel projects in the country.

"The price of nickel five years ago was $ 3.50 per pound, then it went up to $ 25 per pound. Now it’s at $ 15. That’s still good," Ramos said.

The MGB chief said another major mine that’s up for construction anytime is the Masbate gold project.

"Its mineral processing permit has been approved. We already committed approval of the project’s feasibility study so they can construct immediately next month," he said.

Production from the Masbate project may start in 1.5 to two years. Another project that may start production within one year is the Carmen copper mine of Atlas Consolidated Mining and Development Corp.

"We saw heavy equipment costing million present at the Carmen copper mine," he said.

Ramos said that from an estimated 0 million mining investment this year, this could reach to $ 1.6 billion by 2008 or a tripled figure brought about by the construction activities of companies including that of Oceana Gold in the copper-gold project in Nueva Vizcaya.

The Masbate gold project (where Toronto Stock Exchange-listed CGA Mining Ltd. just came in early this year for an investment) is estimated to have a gold indicated resource of 3.306 million ounces and 1.766 million ounces of inferred gold resource at a grade of 0.5 grams per metric ton.

Ore throughput is placed at four million MT per year.

10 vintage bombs recovered in Iligan City

By Richel Umel
Inquirer
Last updated 06:07pm (Mla time) 08/15/2007

ILIGAN CITY, Philippines -- Police and military bomb experts have recovered at least 10 vintage bombs in Iligan City, police said on Wednesday.

Santos Garcia, the police's K-9 unit team leader, said two of the vintage bombs were recovered from the Treasure Steel Corporation (formerly billet shop of the National Steel Corporation) in the village of Suarez while eight others were taken from a junkshop in the village of Tominobo.

Garcia said the management of Treasure Steel Corporation and the junk shop owner told police that the bombs were sold to them as junk metal.

Bomb experts warned that tinkering with vintage bombs could be dangerous. Garcia said a 60-millimeter mortar shell exploded inside the NSC melting bucket a few years ago.

The technical men did not notice that a vintage bomb was among the scrap metal being melted for reuse. No one was hurt in the explosion but it damaged the roof of the billet shop.

Iligan five survives Ozamiz Cotta, captures NBC Cup

Inquirer
Last updated 04:08am (Mla time) 08/15/2007

ILIGAN CITY -- The Firefly-Iligan Crusaders crowned themselves the new NBC Cup champions Monday night by nosing out three-time titlist Ozamiz Cotta, 81-79, at the packed MSU-IIT gym here.

The Crusaders withstood a fierce rally by the Cotta Shrine cagers to sweep the best-of-three series and foil Ozamiz’s bid for a fourth straight championship.

Ozamiz cut Iligan’s 80-73 lead to one on back-to-back triples by Marlon Basco and Bruce Dacia with 15 seconds left. But Arden Guiyab split his charities off a Billy Bansil foul and the Crusaders escaped with the upset as Orly Alvarado’s desperation triple rimmed out at the buzzer.

It was actually the first-ever championship for Mayor Lawrence Cruz’s Crusaders in the country’s premier regional cagefest which was first dominated by Tribu Sugbu and then Ozamiz of Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog.

Marlon Kalaw had a big hand in making this happen as he scattered 21 points, grabbed five rebounds and issued five assists after scoring 12 in the first game, which Iligan won, 88-83.

The Cotta Shrine dribblers refused to give up, however, and grabbed the lead, 63-61, going into the payoff period on the snipings of Dacia and Bansil.

Bong Marata, suiting up for his hometown Iligan after a stint with Pagadian last year, won MVP honors in the tournament supported by Sulpicio Lines, Spring Cooking Oil, Yahoo Phils., San Miguel Beer, Caltex, Sun Cellular, Firefly Lightings, Trans Asia Shipping Lines, Molten, Nature’s Spring, Basketball TV and Viva Prime Channel.

Basco, a former two-time MVP, Dacia, Iloilo’s Ruel Balgos and Iligan’s Harold Sta. Cruz joined Marata in the Mythical Team while Ian Saladaga, also of Iligan, was named Rookie of the Year.

“It’s a collective effort,” said Iligan team manager Freddie Siao. “It’s a big honor to win our first crown at the expense of the defending champions. We thank our supporters for keeping their faith and our team owner Mayor Lawrence [Cruz].”

The scores:
ILIGAN 81 -- Kalaw 21, Matias 12, Go 10, Mangahas 8, Saladaga 7, Cruz 7, Marata 7, Sta. Cruz 5, Guiyab 3, Cabili 1, Hardin 0.
OZAMIZ 79 -- Basco 18, Dacia 18, Cavan 16, Sampilo 10, Gatumbato 8, Nicdao 5, Bansil 3, Liangco 1, Delina 0, Alvarado 0, Caylan 0, Tiongson 0, Balares 0.
Quarters: 29-17, 52-39, 61-63, 81-79

Oro city police chief steps down
Thursday, August 16, 2007
By Stephen Capillas

CAGAYAN DE ORO -- City Police Chief Aurelio Trampe will turn over his post to his deputy following a Camp Crame directive transferring him to the Police Regional Office.

Trampe's transfer comes amid persistent calls from City Hall officials and several sectors for his relief or transfer and for Deputy City Police Director Antonio Montalba to replace him.

In a television interview, Trampe thanked local officials for supporting the city police and said his transfer was part of Camp Crame's revamp of police offices in the country.

The Iligan City Police Office was also reportedly revamped by the national police leadership. :ohno:

"I have served as city police office chief for two years already and there is a new mayor now and he has the prerogative of retaining me or ordering my transfer," Trampe said.

Mayor Constantino Jaraula said Trampe's transfer is a "promotion" of sorts and that with the change in administration, there is an urgent need for a more intensified campaign against criminality.

Despite maintaining a relatively peaceful climate in Cagayan de Oro, detractors heavily criticized Trampe for his "laid back" demeanor and perceived inefficiency in arresting those behind petty crimes and robberies.

The latest tirade against Trampe was the city police's perceived failure to arrest suspects behind the rape and murder of Janet Sazel last Friday. The regional Criminal Investigation and Detection Group did the job instead.

Jaraula said the crime incidence in the city is not alarming and the change of leadership may also intensify the campaign against criminality.

Trampe's successor, Montalba, served as acting city police director but never fully assumed the job because his rank was then a senior inspector.

Montalba was replaced by Superintendent Honorio Cervantes who retired early last year. Former mayor Vicente Emano, before his term ended this year, recently pushed for Montalba's reappointment as city police director but the regional police recommended Trampe instead.

Trampe assumed the post of city police director over Emano's protests but the former's appointment was insisted on by then Police Regional Office Director Dante Tejada.

Trampe's reassignment to the regional police office followed a similar transfer to this same office by then City Police Director Felicisimo Khu back in 2002. (Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro/Sunnex)

Diyandi is a ritual performed by an all-female group portraying the courtship between the Maranao male and Higaonon female and offering this union and agricultural harvest to the Catholic Saint Michael the Archangel. Diyandi captures and mirrors the peaceful co-existence of Iligan's tri-people: Maranao Muslims, Higaonons and Christians. This ritual is performed during the 'Pagpakanaug" before the start of every novena, before the start of the stage play Comedia and before the procession of the Nuestra Señora del Rosario.

Gov't to keep up tax drive till yearend
by Rutchie Cabahug-Aguhob

The government has met its revenue collection target for the month of July when the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) collected Php57.9 billion in revenues exceeding its Php57.8 billion target for the month while the Bureau of Customs (BOC) exceeded its target for the period by Php1.2 billion.

However, it has failed to meet its target for the first six (6) months of the year, hence, Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Aroyo has formed the anti-smuggling and revenue enhancement task forces to sustain the momentum of revenue collection for the remaining months of the year.

"The two groups will form part of the private and public sector-led National Competitive-ness Council together with the Anti-Red Tape Task Force," Secretary Margarito B. Teves of the Department of Finance, said.

Meanwhile, the BIR has collected over Php884.24 million of taxes in Northern Mindanao from January-March, this year.

"This amount of collection was actually15.7% higher compared to Php763.970 million in the same quarter of 2006," Regional Director Mustapha M. Gandarosa of BIR, region 16, said.

He also said per type of taxes, those derived from income and profit which amounted to over Php540.496 million remain the region's biggest source of revenue contributing a 61.12% share in the total regional collection (TRC) for the period.

On the other hand, Value Added Taxes (VAT) amounted to Php219.446 million or 24.74%, Percentage Taxes, Php47.193 million or 5.31%, Excise Taxes, Php60,013 or 0.006% while "Other" Taxes derived from penalties, fines, surcharges and documentary stamps, real estate, capital gains and transfer taxes amounted to Php77.046 million or 8.47%

The BIR data also show the amount of collections by the different Revenue District Offices of the region and their share in the TRE:

Cagayan de Oro City, Php475.018 million or 53.72 %, Iligan City, Php169.924 million or 19.21%, Malaybalay City, Php120.553 million or 13.63%, Ozamiz City Php83.659 million or 9.44% and Gingoog City, Php35.087 million or 3.83 %.

Compared to collections in the same period of 2006, Ozamiz City posted an increase of 25.8%, Cagayan de Oro City, 25.8%, Iligan City, 13.5%, Malaybalay City, 8.5% and Gingoog City, a decline of 11.9%. (PIA 10)

Change is in the Air for Information and Mathematical Sciences
Campus Review-CLAYTON STATE UNIVERSITY
Page 2 August 3, 2007

Beginning Aug. 1, Clayton State University’s College of Information and Mathematical Sciences (CIMS) will have new leadership beginning with Dr. Anthony Giovannitti’s appointment as interim dean of the College. In addition, new faculty member Dr. Shakil Akhtar, has been appointed the new head of the Department of Information Technology and Dr. Nathan Borchelt will be stepping in for Giovannitti as interim head of the Department of Mathematics.

All this comes on the heels of Dean Dr. Charles Ford accepting a new position as Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences at Winston Salem State University in North Carolina. He and his wife, Dr. Dwedor Ford, who will also be taking the position of Writing Center Coordinator at WSSU, are wished the very best in their new positions.

The fall term begins Aug. 20, and the faculty and staff at CIMS are not wasting any time gearing up for the new term. Their focus this year will be on increasing enrollment; engaging students and instructors through projects, papers and internships; and continuing the pursuit of grant prospects to increase program effectiveness and student opportunity. More specifically, they will be introducing a revised curriculum for the IT department, with all new majors starting the program this fall. The Math curriculum is also in the process of being revised, with implementation earmarked for fall 2008.

“It’s important that we continually review our curriculum to keep up with changes in technology and methodology,” says Giovannitti. “Our students must compete in the real world, and we are committed to preparing them for their respective careers.”

CIMS will be hosting two Fulbright scholars this fall. Dr. Roberto Corcino of the Department of Mathematics at Mindanao State University in Iligan City, Philippines will be joining Clayton State University this fall as the department’s first Fulbright research scholar, and Eveling G. Castro Gutierrez from Universidad Nacional de San Agustin, Peru, will be teaching two courses in Information Technology.

CIMS Mathematics department will continue to work with the public schools through the MSP (Math and Science Partnership) grant instituted by Title II, Part B, of the No Child Left Behind Act. The purpose of the grant is to prepare mathematic and science teachers, grades four through 12, to successfully implement the new Georgia Performance Standards curriculum.

“I am looking forward to strengthening our ties with the local business community especially those that use mathematics and information technology,” says Giovannitti. “In addition, we will continue to work with the local school systems to help them implement the new Georgia Performance Standards and we will seek out new partnership opportunities.”

In December of 2006, CIMS hosted a robotics competition for Junior High School students. The Clayton State student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) holds regular meetings and presentations on campus and the Math department’s ongoing Colloquium Series begins its third year with speakers presenting on a variety of topics. Faculty, students and visiting scholars will comprise the line-up of guest speakers. The program is free and open to the public.

“We will miss Dr. Ford and wish him the best in his new position,” says Giovannitti. “With the backing and expertise of our returning and new faculty and staff, I know that CIMS will continue to provide superior education to our students, to offer expanded services to the community as a whole, and to explore and advance the fields of Information Technology and Mathematics.”

Four volunteer groups boycott Gawad Kalasag awarding
By Maricar M. Calubiran and Erly C. Garcia

Four volunteer search and rescue groups based in Iloilo boycotted yesterday's awarding ceremony of the 2007 Regional Gawad Kalasag held at the Iloilo Grand Hotel. The four groups did not show up in protest of the national award given to SMART Communications Inc. (SMART Comm) by the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) recently.

The four volunteer groups which boycotted the regional awarding are Mountain Tigers Inc., Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary, Black Panther Volunteer Group and Royal Eagles Rescue Volunteer Brigade.

Gawad Kalasag which stands for Kalamidad at Sakuna Labanan, Sariling Galing ang Kaligtasan is a project of the NDCC and its local counterparts in recognition of the help and contribution made by volunteer groups during disaster and emergency situations.

SMART Comm based in San Miguel, Iloilo recently bagged the National Gawad Kalasag award for the civic organization emergency responder category.

Capt. Nilo Sazon of the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary said over Aksyon Radyo that they opted to boycott the awarding because they feel that they were treated unfairly by the national award giving body.

Sazon said they were surprised that only SMART Comm got the award in the national level as everybody knows that their groups have not been remiss in responding to disasters or emergencies.

Commander Jomarie Gubatanga of the Black Panther Volunteer Group also said in the same radio interview that they were surprised that SMART Comm got the award when such group seldom could be seen responding to emergencies.

"Bal-an man na sang publiko kon sin-o ang madasig mag-responde sa tion sang mga emerhensiya. Ang amon grupo naga-responde bisan diin may emergency, sa siyudad man ukon sa mga kabanwahanan (The public knows our performance. We respond to emergencies wherever it occurs)," Gubatanga said.

Brgy. Capt. Luisa Froilan, also a member of Black Panther, echoed the same sentiment saying they boycotted the regional awarding because they feel that their efforts have not been recognized.

"Gusto namon ang eksakto lang," Froilan said.

Commander Roy Bagares of Royal Eagles and Captain George Dairo of Mountain Tigers also joined the boycott.

Regional Disaster and Coordinating Council (RDCC) vice chair Rosario Cabrera explained they have nothing to do with the selection of awardees in the national level. She said, they have forwarded the records of all the volunteer search and rescue groups to the NDCC which conducted their own evaluation.

However, no volunteer group from the region made it on the list of national awardees, Cabrera lamented. She said volunteer groups coming from Iligan and Olongapo were declared as winners in the rescue and volunteer groups level.

In the case of SMART Comm, Cabrera explained that SMART Comm bagged the national award in the communications and warning group.

Cabrera said SMART Comm though based in the town of San Miguel has been of help in the different areas in Iloilo and even Guimaras in times of disasters. The communication group is headed by Leonardo Salapantan.

Cabrera added that all the recommendations forwarded to the RDCC have been referred to them by the municipal and provincial disaster coordinating councils.

Cabrera said the protesting groups should have asked her on what happened in the national level. She said NDCC has their own selection board.

In the region, the members of the selection committee were Sr. Supt. Reynaldo Rafal of the Police Regional Office 6; Eligio Calaor of the Office of the Civil Defense; Ted Cabanero of the Department of Interior and Local Government; Jerry Porras of the Department of Health; Rosario San Agustin of Department of Social Welfare and Development Office; Wendyl Mae Villaprudente of Department of the Education; Raul Garganera of the Philippine National Red Cross; Engr. Joseph Paul Nogra and Celeste Milan of the of the Regional Disaster and Coordinating Council secretariat.

Cabrera stressed that the RDCC acknowledges the participation and help of the four groups during disasters.

"They could have checked me first with regard to their complaint," she said.

Cabrera assured that she will talk with the heads of the four groups to settle things out.

Sazon, on the other hand, assured the public that their protest will not affect their commitment to respond in time of disasters and emergencies.

"The spirit of volunteerism is within us, even without recognition we are here to serve," Sazon assured.

Iligan steps in on farm workers case
Saturday, August 18, 2007
By Stephen Capillas

THE Iligan City government is stepping in on the case of 10 farm workers who supposedly abandoned a plantation in Barangay Tagoloan 2, Kibulag town in Lanao del Norte several days ago.

In a radio interview, Iligan Mayor Lawrence Cruz said he will look into the case and initiate moves to address the plight of the workers who walked all the way from Lanao del Norte to the hinterland area of Barangay Tignapoloan.

According to the workers, they walked and hid in forested areas in the towns leading up to Tignapoloan last Wednesday evening.

The workers supposedly were employed by contractors to work on the plantation of a certain Ambassador Abdul Khaer Alonto.

But Alonto denied he had anything to do with the plight of the workers, saying the farm was contracted for work and he had no knowledge about how the workers were hired.

The contractor for Alonto's plantation promised the workers substantial salaries at P400 a day.

The workers said their agreement was changed thrice with the contractor promising to pay them on a "pakyaw" or "packaged deal" basis but the contractor also failed to settle his bills.

Some of the workers, who requested anonymity, said over radio interview that they experienced working conditions similar to those experienced by hired farm workers in other parts of the country.

"The plantation guards would clamp down on us in terms of security. Our food is being rationed, there is even one whole family there working for the plantation but they were also unpaid by the owner," the workers said.

The case has yet to be referred to either the Department of Agriculture (DA) or the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR).

Cases of indigent families traveling great distances and crossing seas in search of work had been prevalent in the provinces of Luzon, where farm workers are usually paid below minimum wage.

The travails of farm workers called "sacadas" have been the cause of mass rallies by farmers' groups.

Through the students’ exposure in this contest coupled with the result measures the extent of the scientific knowledge of our kids and thus reflects the present instructional set-ups in schools which include the questions on “what is taught and how is taught” in the science class. Hopefully, the results of the RIO TINTO will give educators the insights on how to strengthen science education in the Philippines.

Moreover, the results of the competition and the certificates have just been sent to your respective schools. In few days time, both result and certificates will be in your hands. Congratulations!

Guys, thank you for pictures that keep Iligan fresh for us out here. Its like we've never left (my kids there are amazed how is it I know more about Iligan's development more than they do).
Since a lot of you are apparently serious about photography, my advice is for you to research into how to take pictures that really rock. Don't misunderstand me, the pix are good, but you don't have so stop there. International na pod baya inyong mga audience, noh! If you can get better at the craft, why not?
I'm really looking forward to seeing in this forum pictures that not just show images, but speak a thousand words about Iligan. :bowtie:

NO STREETDANCING. This is not a group participating in a street dancing but in Iligan City's field demonstration last Friday, at the opening rites of the sports festival.

Iligan opens sports fest for team-building
Written by Violeta M. Gloria/MindaNews

ILIGAN CITY (MindaNews/August 18) – “Sports is a way to team-building and strengthening the unity of government workers towards a peaceful and prosperous city,” Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz said at the opening of the City Sports Fest 2007 last Friday.
The sports fest started with a parade from the city plaza to the hilltop city hall early morning.
City sports director Frederick Siao also introduced and congratulated the Iligan Crusaders, the basketball team of the city which recently won the championship in the national tournament.

The sports fest features basketball, walkathon, volleyball, tennis, chess, among others.

On Friday morning, government workers who were divided into teams showed off their talents and abilities for a field demonstration contest at the city hall’s open amphitheatre.
Some groups used simple dance steps with costumes adorned with native and beautiful props, others used some ethnic steps.

They wore colorful and creative uniforms, making them distinct from one department to the other. They were adjudged by their creativity, originality and relevance to the theme. (Violeta M. Gloria/MindaNews)
