Iligan Observes Earth Day Celebration

In pursuance with the Earth Day Celebration on April 24, 2008, the local government of Iligan through the Iligan City Solid Waste Management Board (ICSWMS) created by Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz launched a series of activities that highlights the event.

Among these are the house-to-house information campaign relative to the city’s solid waste management program, anti-smoke belching and anti-smoking operations which already started last April 14 up to the 24th. A city-wide clean-up was also conducted (April 19-20) and participated by city hall officials and employees, barangay officials, purok leaders and the private sector. ICSWMB also hosted the flag raising program of the LGU employees on April 21, and made a 15-minute presentation of the salient features of RA 9003 otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. A public display and blessing of the six newly-acquired garbage trucks was also part of the highlights of the occasion.

Other significant activities are the parade of floats on April 24 around main city streets, booth display of recycled products (made from garbage) on April 24 and 25, and the Mr. Earth Pageant on April 25 at the city public plaza.

City Councilor Chonilo Ruiz, Committee Chairman on Environment of the city council, spearheads the entire undertaking.

PKFC, DILI PA MAKAPAGAWAS OG RESULTA SA JOB HIRING
04/23/08

Dili pa gihapon makapagawas, hangtud ning panahona, ang Philippines-Korea Friendship Community o PKFC sa resulta sa job hiring nga ilang gipahigayon sa Dakbayan sa Iligan niadtong nakalabay’ng Abril 5.
Kini ang unod sa text message kagahapong adlawa nga gipadangat ni Kennedy Co, Manager sa Universal Manpower Services nga mao’y gikontrata sa PKFC sa maong hiring, ngadto kang kanhi Bise Mayor Pedro Generalao. Si Generalao mao’y gitudlo ni Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz nga mangulo sa task force nga moabag sa PKFC ug UMS.

Giasoy ni Co nga nakasinati karon og kalangan ang PKFC ug Hanjin Corporation nga mapahimutang ang ilang lokal nga management office sa Misamis Oriental, hinungdan nga wala pa’y maka-accommodate sa mga trabahante kung ila kining ipugos pagpasugod.

Naghangyo karon ang UMS Manager sa pailob ug pagsabot sa mga aplikante. Gipasalig niini nga naningkamot usab sila nga mapadali tungod kay malangan man usab unya ang ilang pagtrabaho sa Laguindingan Airport ug Tagoloan Ship Building project kung dili nila mapangitaan og paagi. (mta)

Lake Lanao may be gone in 20 years

Maranao mythology has a wondrous story about the creation of Lake Lanao. In the beginning, the land of Mantapoli was so heavy, it threatened to turn the world upside down. Allah instructed the Angel Gabriel to call all His angels. Millions of angels lifted Mantapoli and transferred it to the center of the earth. Allah then filled the enormous gap with water, thus creating the deep-blue Lanao Lake.

Unfortunately, Lanao Lake no longer bears a resemblance the lake created by God. Decades of logging, pollution and degradation have turned it into a vast sewage pool.

Local doomsayers are warning that Mindanao’s largest lake may be gone in about 20 years or so if it is not saved from internal and external threats.

Lake Lanao in Lanao del Sur is one of the five oldest lakes in the world and is the second-largest freshwater lake in the Philippines, with a surface area of 340 square kilometers.

The United Nations Environment Program considered Lake Lanao as one of the 250 priority biodiverse lakes. It used to be home to 18 endemic fish species that not found anywhere else. These species are now gone.

Lake Lanao sits atop a plateau in the heart of Lanao del Sur, surrounded by 31 municipalities and one city (Marawi). Four rivers feed into the lake, and its only outlet is the Agus River, which flows northward into Iligan Bay via two channels, one over the famous Maria Cristina Falls, the other over the Linamon Falls. The Agus River provides electricity for the Mindanao power grid.

Lanao del Sur, the second-most populated province in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), is also the seventh-most impoverished (as of 2003) and has the sixth-lowest human development index (HDI) among provinces in the country.

About 92 percent of those who lived around the lake are Maranaos, who are historically and culturally linked to the lake and dependent on it for food and livelihood.

Most of the employed (at only 50.98 percent of the total workforce or only 28 percent of the total population) are in agriculture, hunting and forestry. This highlights the dependence on the natural resources— especially by the women—particularly in the watershed areas in the livelihood of the people.

Impact on the lake watershed reservation

Presidential Proclamation 871 dated February 1992 declared the Lake Lanao Watershed reservation. The area spans 180,640 hectares.

Lake Lanao serves a reservoir for National Power Corp.’s (Napocor’s) six Agus Grid hydroelectric power plants, which generate an aggregate installed capacity of 727.1 megawatts. Lake Lanao is an integral part of the powerful river system that produces about 70 percent of Mindanao’s electricity.

To fully tap the enormous hydroelectric potential of Lake Lanao, the flow of Agus River must be stabilized at the expense of destabilizing the level of the Lake Lanao. Destabilizing the lake level according to foreign writers Frey and Rabor has severe economic and sociological repercussions on the region as well as marked influences on the limnology of the lake. It should be noted that the construction of the series of dams across the Agus River will lower the lake’s level to as much as 9 meters.

The degradation of Lake Lanao is also caused by siltation from deforestation, pollution from agricultural run-offs and human habitation, fluctuation of water levels due to the dams, overfishing, introduction of alien species, and forest denudation. This is causing major social and economic backlash not only on the local population but also on the lake itself and the entire country.

According to the Save Lake Lanao Movement (SALAM), the lake watershed is gradually sloping from sea level at the outlet of Agus River at Iligan Bay to about 702 meters elevation at the lake level to about 2.316 meters at the peak of the highest point along the watershed divide at Mount Magaturing.

The 54-nation Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) has taken note of the plight of Lake Lanao through the representations of a group, the Ranao Claims Against the Power Plants (RCAPP). The group complains that Napocor, a government corporation, has not complied with the terms of an Environmental Compliance Certificate issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources requiring the company to build and construct irrigation infrastructures in the lake area, organize an environment guarantee fund and provide compensation to farmers in inundated areas, and monitor water-borne diseases in the lake’s waters.

The group demanded that Napocor undertake massive reforestation in watershed areas.

Napocor, in response, said it has embarked in major reforestation and agro-forestry and fish stocking in the watershed, contributing some P10 million to the Lake Lanao Watershed Protection Council of the Environment and Natural Resources department. It has also involved Save Lake Lanao Movement as part of a Multipartite Monitoring Team to oversee the implementation of community programs to rehabilitate the lake.

Several agencies and groups have taken up the cudgel for the lake. The government’s Watershed Council, Napocor, provincial governments of Lanao del Sur, Lanao del Norte, and civil society groups—Ranao Claims Against the Power Plants, Save Lake Lanao Movement, and Philippine Muslim Women Council—have each worked on environmental initiatives that will hopefully benefit the generations of Maranaos to come.

Protected and rehabilitated, Lake Lanao may still become the deep-blue lake God created for the Maranaos.

NFA MAKIGTAGBO SA MGA BGR OUTLET RETAILERS
04/24/08

Pinaagi sa gihimong monitoring sa mga sakop sa Local Price Coordinating Council kagahapon, nasuta ang mga nagkalain-laing problema, dili lamang sa mga mamalitay og NFA rice, apan lakip na sa mga accredited Bigasan ni Gloria sa Palengke outlets.

Kasagaran nga mga reklamong gipaabot sa mga konsumante ngadto sa mga sakop LPCC mao ang kakulangon sa timbang sa mga gipang-repack o gipangputos nang daan nga duha ka kilong bugas. Katarungan sa mga retailers, ibaligya gihapon nila kini bisan paman nga kulang og tag-duha ngadto sa tag-tulo ka gramo, tungod kay mismong ang mga trabahante man sa National Food Authority o NFA ang nagtimbang ug namutos niini.

Apan gitambag sa pamunuan sa NFA ngadto sa mga mamalitay nga kung makapalit sila og NFA rice nga kulang sa timbang, ibalik kini sa ilang gipalitan aron mabalik usab ngadto sa bodega sa NFA.

Ikaduhang problema sa mga konsumante mao ang pagpangayo sa mga retailers ug 37.00 nga bayad sa duha ka kilong NFA rice imbes nga 36.50 pesos lamang sanglit tag 18.25 pesos man lang ang usa ka kilo. Katarungan sa mga retailers, ang dugang 50 centavos bayad sa plastic bag nga sudlan sa bugas. Tungod niini, gi-awhag sa LPCC ang mga mamalitay nga magdala nalang sila sa ilang kaugalingong plastic bag aron wala nay katarungan ang mga retailers nga mangayo pa og dugang sa ilang bayronon.

Overflowing Summer Adventures
http://www.visayandailystar.com/2008/Starlife/2008/April/27/images/starcover%2004-27-08.jpg

For those who are looking for a different vacation spot this summer, there’s an appealing option beyond the popular white sand beaches and the usual water fun parks.

Somewhere in the northern side of Mindanao lies Iligan City tagged as the “City of Waterfalls” because of numerous cascades overflowing in the hearts of its lush forests. About 20 water falls are found in the city, the former capital of Lanao del Norte.

The most popular is the magnificent Maria Cristina Falls along the Agus River which supplies electricity for parts of Mindanao from its powerful current, a source of hydroelectric power. There is also Tinago Falls, an amazingly beautiful curtain, pristine lagoon and jaw-dropping wonder for first-timers.

A three-day or a week stay in Iligan will allow you to explore the many wonders of the city and its nearby attractions, culture, the unique warmth of its people and more than 20 other waterfalls.

Nearby the city of Cagayan de Oro, an hour and a half drive by bus offers equally enthralling vacation spots like that of Iligan. Among the popular adventure activities is white water rafting. Visitors can make side trips to this Misamis Oriental capital – a booming city in Mindanao. Fruit stalls of durian and a variety of exotic picks line the streets offering a succulent feast to tourists. Nearby, too, are the cool Bukidnon slopes known for their pineapple plantations, the Lanao provinces and the beaches of Camiguin, a convenient trip from Cagayan de Oro.

Back in Iligan, vacationers can frolic in the spring of Taytay and Timoga, a haven for kids and adult alike who wanted an endless splash to its many swimming pools. While beaches and picnic grounds are also popular among visitors and excursionists.

Interestingly, Iligan is also famous for the old house of the Macapagals, where President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo spent many summers of her youth. This home turned into museum is near the Timoga resort. For arts and culture buffs, Iligan, through its premier learning institution, the Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology, has a dynamic and widely-recognized performing arts group and is home to a summer creative writing workshop.

Majestic cascades, rich Muslim culture, more than a dozen industrial sites, more sites make up Iligan overflowing with summer adventures, which are very accessible to Negros via commercial vessels, like those of Negros Navigation, through overnight trips. NN’s M/S St. Joseph the Worker sails Bacolod to Cagayan de Oro and Iligan every Tuesday at 12:30PM.

Those who would like to avail of tour packages to Cagayan de Oro and Iligan may contact NN at (034) 708-0461. Ishmael Algara

Here is the message from Bob in New York, who supplied this Photo (by IRBO):

Many of the people I met and spoke with during my recent visit to Iligan City were very impressed with the amount of knowledge I had acquired about their city and at times I even surprised myself. Two years and hundreds of hours of websufing Iligan City may be an extreme case of ” Know Before You Go ” . The more I learned about Iligan City the more interest I developed in going there.

Here I am seen talking with the Iligan City Department of Tourism informing them of the vast amount of information, photos and video that appear on the internet about their city. A high percentage of these items have been put on the internet by many of the proud Iliganons that live there. It seemed the Department of Tourism may not have been familiar with www.mindanao.com, they are now!

ECONOMIC ISSUES, GITUKI SA PANAGTAGBO NILA NI MAYOR CRUZ UG USEC.LEYRETANA
04/25/08

Nahimong sentro nga gihisgutan atol sa panagtagbo nila ni Iligan City Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz ug Undersecretary Virgilio Leyretana, Chairman sa Mindanao Economic Development Council kun MEDCO, ang mga isyung pang-ekonomiya sa Dakbayan sa Iligan.

Kini ang gibutyag sa pamuno-dakbayan atol sa pagpakighinabi kaniya sa mga sakop sa media kagahapong adlawa kalabot sa pagbisita sa nasangpit nga opisyal niadtong miaging adlaw.

Matud pa ni Mayor Cruz, pipila lamang sa nahisgutan ang posibleng mahimo o pagpanginlabot sa MEDCO diha sa tinguha sa iyang pamuno-an nga mapalambo ang mga industriya, shipping, nagkalain-laing matang sa patigayon, tukmang produksiyon sa pagka-on, lakip na ang ang mga farm-to-market roads ug mga tulay.

Angay’ng masayran nga gitahasan karon ni Presidente Gloria Macapagal Arroyo ang MEDCO sa pagpatuman sa usa ka libo ka kilometro nga road concreting project sa tibuok pulo sa Mindanao gawas sa gihimo na niining Tulay ng Pangulo projects diin nahimong usa sa nakapahimulos ang Barangay Abuno sa atong dakbayan.

BAYRONON SA DOCUMENTARY STAMP NGA KUHAON SA NSO, USBAWAN SUGOD MAYO 1
04/25/08

Sugod sa Mayo uno, usbawan na sa National Statistics Office og tag kinse pesos ang bayronon sa documentary stamp nga kuhaon diha sa ilang buhatan. Kini base usab sa Section 173 ug 188 sa Tax Code and Revenue Memorandum Order Number 13-2008 nga gipirmahan niadtong Marso 18, 2008.

Ang maong kinse pesos nga kantidad i-usbaw sa tanang mga transaction nga himoon sa NSO sama sa “request of issuance of copy of birth, marriage and death in security paper” nga kanhi Php 125.00, mahimo nang Php 140.00 na.

Ang Authentication of birth, marriage and death document nga kanhi tag Php 125.00, mahimo nang tag Php 140.00 na, samtang ang CENOMAR o Certificate of No Marriage nga kanhi tag Php 180.00, mahimo nang tag Php 195.00.

Apan bisan paman sa maong pag-usbaw, gilauman sa buhatan sa NSO nga modagsa pa gihapon ang mokuha sa mga ginganlang dokumento tungod kay importante o gikinahanglan man kini sa mga legal nga transaksiyon. (Divina M. Suson)

PAGPATUMAN SA TRAFFIC ORDINANCE GIPAHUGTAN NA
04/25/08

Gisugdan na sa Traffic Division ning siyudad ang hugtanong pagpatuman sa ordinansa sa trapiko nga dugay nang na-aprubahan sa konseho ning siyudad, pinaagi sa pagpangamahan ni Konsehal Providencio “Boy” Abragan, Sr., Committee Chairman on Traffic sa konseho.

Kini pinaagi sa pagpahigayon kagahapon og checkpoint ubos sa overpass sa Barangay Tomas Cabili ning siyudad aron masapon gayud ang mga de-pasaherong sakyanan nga dili na motultol sa hustong terminal.

Tulo ang deretsong na-impound ngadto sa buhatan sa trapiko kagahapon tungod sa paglapas sa City Ordinance Number 05-4773 o Traffic Ordinance, sama sa pag-illegal terminal. Kasagaran sa maong mga de-pasaherong sakyanan mga van nga nag-biyahe paingon ngadto sa Lanal del Norte, ug ang usa sa tulo colorum pa.

Namahayag si Retired Police Inspector Adorry Magumpara nga ang ilang gihimo mao’y mando kanila ni Konsehal Abragan, nga pahugtan gayud ang pag-implementar sa ordinansa sa trapiko alang sa kahapsay sa kadalanan sa Siyudad sa Iligan. Matud pa ni Magumpara nga kung mahimo, ipahigayon nila ang pag-checkpoint matag adlaw aron gayud magtimaan ang mga driver nga dili matuman sa balaod.

Samtang gipasalig usab ni Police Inspector Reo Flores, hepe sa trapiko, nga subli silang mopahigayon sa susamang operasyon karong buntag. Kini tungod kay nagtoo siya nga mosi-aw na usab ang mga driver og Tamaraw FX nga mosulod sa sentrong bahin sa dakbayan ug mopahigayon og illegal terminal dapit sa may Gaisano aron makakuha og pasahero gikan sa modunggo nga barko.

UNANG STEEL FOOT BRIDGE SA MINDANAO, MAPAHIMUSLAN NA SA SARDAB, DIGKILAAN
04/25/08

Human sa gipahigayong formal turn-over kagahapong adlawa, mapahimuslan na sa katawhan sa Sitio Sardab sakop sa Barangay Digkilaan ning siyudad ang bag-ong natibawas nga Hanging Cable Steel Foot Bridge nga gihatag ngadto kanila sa Department of Agrarian Reform-Support to Agrarian Reform Communities in Central Mindanao kun DAR-STAR-CM ug kagamhanang lokal sa Iligan.

Kini adunay gitas-on nga 96 metros ug mamahimo usab nga agi-an sa mga motorsiklo nga de pasahero o habal-habal, bisan kargahan sa mga abot sa kaumahan sa nasangpit nga dapit.

Sumala ni City Engineer Franklin Maata, kini ang labing unang steel foot bridge nga makita sa tibuok pulo sa Mindanao nga adunay kapabilidad nga molungtad sulod sa 25 ngadto sa 30 ka tuig.

Sa iyang bahin, mipahayag si Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz atol sa turn-over program nga nagsilbing inspirasyon kaniya ang maong tulay nga himoong modelo sa uban pang mga ipatumang hanging bridges. Gilaraw niini karon ang pagkopya sa maong desinyo sa Sardab Hanging Cable Bridge sa pag-ayo sa Tambacan Hanging Bridge. Nagpasalamat siya sa dakong tabang nga gihatag sa STAR-CM. Sa kinatibuk-ang project cost nga mokabat sa duolan 2.4 milyones pesos, 851 mil pesos niini ang counterpart sa siyudad ug ang uban gikan na sa ayuda sa European Union pinaagi sa STAR-CM. Gidayeg usab niya ang kakugi nga gipakita ni Kapitan Aurelio Magaro sa maong barangay sa gipakita niining kakugi sa pag-asikaso sa mga papeles ubang pangihanglanon sa maong proyekto. (mta)

Mindanao cities drawing BPO firms that seek to reduce costs

Fierce competition in the business process outsourcing industry is speeding up the expansion throughout Mindanao of BPO firms looking to lower operating costs and access new sources of talent to fill demand.

Davao and Cagayan de Oro are becoming known as BPO hubs offering a wide range of services, but there is still room for regional expansion, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) said.

Current estimates of the total number of call centers in the Philippines range from 90 to more than 120. Fewer than 10 of these are in Mindanao, which has a quarter of the national population.

The global BPO industry will generate an estimated $310 billion by 2010, according to the Oxford Business Group. "The Philippines is projected to take 10% of the world market, and Mindanao stands to benefit from the country-wide expansion," the USAID said through its Growth with Equity in Mindanao (GEM) program.

Most larger-scale firms now investing in Mindanao are in Davao and Cagayan de Oro. "There are 3,000 existing seats in five call centers in Davao alone, with 3,000 more in the pipeline," said Andre Fournier of the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Link2Support, Inc. already employs several hundred call center agents in Davao and Cagayan de Oro. Western Wats, a US-based firm, is said to be investing P60 million in its Davao operations.

Joji Ilagan Bian, president of the Philippine Call Center Alliance, said Mindanao is also attracting firms planning small-scale centers with 250 seats or less. "They’re considering other urban centers like General Santos, Zamboanga, Iligan and Cotabato," Ms. Bian said.

General Santos, a bustling agroindustrial hub, is said to be planning a citywide wireless network using WiMAX technology, which should make it more attractive to BPO investors. It already has a fiber optic network in place.

The three-hectare Mabuhay IT Park, set up in General Santos by private developer Mabuhay Technopark Corp., is a one-stop facility for voice, video and data services, with secure network communications and backup power supply.

The potential BPO labor force in the city includes 5,000 new graduates from colleges in the city per year, with about 10,000 more from Sarangani, South Cotabato, and Sultan Kudarat, according to a report prepared with the Board of Investment.

"General Santos is definitely at par with other information and communications technology hubs," said Ellorence Cruz of the BOI. "The only hindrance is the lingering perception of security risks in the region. We had the same problem in 2002 when promoting the country as a BPO hub. Little by little, the firms started coming to Manila, then to other cities. And now they’re coming to Mindanao."

Filipino-owned BPO firms appear to have discounted these security perceptions, Ms. Bian said. "I tell other firms less familiar with the region that they should just come over and judge for themselves. They can incubate accounts with a limited number of seats and see how well things work out."

Skilled BPO workers can be found throughout Mindanao, said Ms. Bian, who operates several call center training schools. Most of the region’s universities and vocational institutions are now offering extension courses in BPO skills. Iligan City and Zamboanga have particularly large labor pools and strong college level programs in IT. "Graduates with IT skills or call center training end up migrating to Cebu and Manila to get jobs. "Why not bring the business closer to the labor pool?" Ms. Bian said.

Setting up BPO operations right at the manpower source has advantages for both the firms and their local hires, according to the USAID’s GEM program which, with the oversight of the Mindanao Economic Development Council, is helping to expand employment opportunities and improve IT infrastructure in the region.

Mindanao-based personnel who do not have to commute and pay rent as they would in Manila and Cebu are content with a lower pay scale. "Also, since call center jobs carry more prestige in Mindanao, personnel are more committed," Mr. Fournier said. According to the GEM program, the employment of young people ensures peace and economic development of their communities.

Call center agents from Zamboanga have been known to trade P20,000 call center jobs in Manila for P12,000 jobs in their home city because, they say, there they can enjoy better quality of life. Brenda Nazareth-Manzano, regional director of the Department of Science and Technology, said incoming BPO firms would have the benefit of strong interagency collaboration.

Operating costs in Mindanao can be 25% to 30% less than in Manila or Cebu. Power in General Santos and Zamboanga is less than P5 per kilowatt-hour (kwh), compared with P10 per kwh in Cebu and P8.23 per kwh in Metro Manila. Labor economists forecast the creation of up to two million jobs in BPO-related industries by 2010. The USAID wants to help ensure that Mindanao receives an equitable share of this pie. — Growth with Equity in Mindanao

PNP surrenders traffic task

The local PNP command will give up it's Traffic Managment and Control functions and yield them
to the Local Government of Iligan.
A highly-placed source at City Hall told Mindanao Scoop that three weeks ago, Col. Virgilio T. Ranes
and SInsp. Rio Flores met with Mayor Lawewnce Lluch Cruz and his close aids to discuss the turn over of
the Traffic Managment and Control Functions now being performed by the PNP to the city Government.
It was learned that the move was prompted by the lack of PNP personnel carry out it's flight against
criminality and vise.
Only the traffic accident investigators will be retained by the PNP.
According to the source, City Mayor Lawrence Cruz tasked City Administrator Pacificador Lluch to pre-
pare the necessary arrangement so that the proposed move will materialize.
He said that the Traffic Engineering and Management Boared will convene as soon as possible to deliberate
on organizing the unit that will handle the traffic management and control function.
Presently, the local government employs traffic aides to augment the operations of the traffic division of the
PNP.
It is initially seen that the present traffic aides will form the core group that will perform the functions as soon
as the turn over is finalize.
The whole Civil Security Unit of the LGU may also compose the unit to be responsible and accountable for
traffic management.
The Source disclosed that plans are being finalized on this regard and a transition program is being designed
since the unit needs to be trained and oriented on the provisions of the traffic Code of Iligan.
It was learened that about a year ago, The PNP was no longer deputized by the Land Transportation Office
in the enforcement of Rebublic Act 4136, also known as the Land Transportation and Traffic code.
Similarly, the Traffic Management and Control Unit of the city governement will only enforce provisions of
the Traffic Code of Iligan , unless otherwise deputized by the Land Transportation Office.

Texting, VoIP help enhance RP's healthcare system
04/30/2008 | 06:22 PM

Although public and private sectors are using information and communications technology (ICT) at differing levels, both agree that innovative developments could serve as a tool for bridging the Philippines’ yawning health gap.

At the CyberPress Forum held recently at the iAcademy auditorium in Makati City, industry experts said ICT is transforming the way healthcare is provided in the country for both underfunded public health facilities and state-of-the-art private medical centers and hospitals.

Dr. Alvin Marcelo, director of the National Telehealth Center in UP Manila, said “telemedicine" modalities such as text messaging, multimedia messaging system (MMS), voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) can help serve far-flung areas where the availability of doctors and health professionals is scarce.

Marcelo said 50 percent of Filipinos die without ever seeing a doctor in their lifetime. ICT, he said, could partly solve the problem.

Marcelo said the National Telehealth Center has been pushing for “the ethical, effective and efficient delivery of healthcare to underserved communities of the Philippines" using all available technology that is mostly based on open source platform.

Facility helps ‘reintegrate’ Philippine health care system

The center, established by the University of the Philippines’ Board of Regents in 1998 as an attached agency of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is based at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH), is also mandated to “design and develop IT-based solutions that will provide primary health care to local communities served," he said.

He said the deployment of ICT is crucial at this time when the Philippines is caught between the “migration of health care workers to other countries and the severe lack of health care providers in many parts of the country because of the remoteness of the underserved areas."

According to Marcelo, there has been a “disintegration of the health care system’s public sector component because of devolution, which put local governments in charge of health care funding and personnel management."

ICT, he said, “can help reintegrate the system" by bringing together a network of doctors and healthcare workers in remote or underserved communities and linking them with doctors in urban areas who can help
diagnose and treat provincial patients using mobile phones, the Internet and, in cases where the remote area also suffers a lack of electricity, radio communication.

In 2005, the Commission on ICT (CICT), through the eGovernment fund, awarded a grant to the National TeleHealth Center so it could “design and develop ten telehealth and telementoring systems" in the provinces
of Cagayan Valley, Capiz Province, Leyte and Iligan, where the UP Manila medical school has satellite facilities.

500 join nat’l youth congress in Lanao Norte
By DANNY JUNCO

TUBOD, Lanao del Norte – About 500 top young leaders from different regions converged here for the first time to show their unity and strength as one dominant sector of the society and local officials during the1st National Youth Peace Congress at the Mindanao Civic Center Tubod town.

The activity was spearheaded by officials of the National Youth Commission (NYC) and the provincial government of Lanao del Norte led by the country’s youngest governor Khalid Q. Dimaporo and SK Provincial Federated President – Board Member Solaiman Mutia Jr.

Richard Alvin Nalupta, NYC chairman and chief executive officer, said participants came from all over the country, who are mostly the elected municipal and provincial federation SK presidents.

He said the proposed abolition of the SK by Congress would not distort their determination to come up with a new brand of future leaders who are pro-active and output-oriented, and most of all possessing the values of love for the country, with the aim of redeeming the negative image of politics and corruption.

"We need to challenge ourselves to work hard for the betterment of the young populace. We need to draw up plans together to prove that our incumbency is worthwhile and would not turn to be in vain. We have millions in terms of resources, we need to converge and corroborate so that our voices be heard and our agonies be addressed," Nalupta said.

Dimaporo, in his speech, urged the youth leaders to be more aggressive in expressing their rights and aspirations for youth development.

He believes that governors and mayors would become supportive of the SK’s persuasive investments for the youth.

"I know ang mga governors at mayors ay hindi basta maglalabas ng support kung hindi rin ipakita sa mga young leaders ang kanilang plano. This is to ensure that government resources would not be wasted. So, kailangan ninyong ipakita ang iyong kakayahan in voicing out your sentiments to convince them", Dimaporo said.

The youth congress tackled good governance, leadership skills and the visiting delegations were also briefed on the tourist programs in Lanao del Norte.

This also enabled the SK leaders to identify programs and projects doable in their localities.

WAO, Lanao del Sur - Around 30 units of houses were built in three hectares of public land that will be occupied by homeless rebel returnees and other constituents here, as the highway of peace caravan will arrive on April 25 and 26.

The Gawad Kalinga houses were built as commitment contribution from the Lanao del Norte provincial government, Iligan City local government unit (LGU), and other LGUs and organizations.

National Power Corporation (Napocor) Engineer Leo Nangaas, team leader, said the employees volunteered themselves to be deducted one half of their one day salary to raise P450,000 to build five units of Gawad Kalinga houses which cost P75,000 each.

The Napocor employees sent 75 volunteers from Mindanao Generation, Pulangi Hydro Electric Power Plant and Agus Hydro Electric Power Plant of Iligan City and the Lanao provinces.

Tony Meloto, founder and champion of Gawad Kalinga, who visited the site in Wao lauded the relentless efforts and high spirited volunteers in Bayani Challenge who work hard and sweat in building the village.

Stock exchange to conduct free stock trading seminars
05/02/2008 | 03:18 AM

The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) will hold free seminars in the provinces next month to encourage more Filipinos to invest in the stock market.

In a statement on its Web site, the exchange said it would be holding the road shows in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City on May 5 and 7, respectively.

The seminars will discuss stock trading basics, online trading and listing on the exchange. Participants can also ask questions during the open forum.

"This is to really deepen education among prospective investors in the local market, where not even 1% is actively trading," PSE President and Chief Executive Francis Ed. Lim said in an interview.

He added that aside from the seminars, the exchange had tied up with schools to offer stock-related courses to the public.

Last month, the exchange partnered with the Center for Continuing Education of the Ateneo Graduate School of Business to offer a 12-course stock market education to the public.

"It is also part of our long-term program to broaden the retail investor base and enable the local stock market to catch up with neighboring markets," Mr. Lim said.

The equities market has been down by about 24% due to persistent concerns over the US economy and fears that consumer prices will continue to go up.

Investors can invest in the stock market through broker-assisted calls or online trading.

Before trading, prospective clients are given opening account forms by their chosen brokerage houses. They must submit a government-issued ID to the broker’s office and pay fees to open an account. For online trading clients can pay through the broker’s bank account and start trading a day after the transaction.

The exchange has also held road shows abroad to woo Filipinos working overseas. It held a road show in Hong Kong recently, touting capital market reforms as its main selling point.

Aside from holding a stock market investment seminar for nearly 200 Hong Kong-based Filipinos, the exchange also updated fund managers in Hong Kong on reforms to ensure the market integrity and protect investors.

The PSE road show coincided with an Asian investment conference held by Credit Suisse and President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s official visit to the Chinese territory. - Lovely Nica P. Lee,BusinessWorld

MAYOR CRUZ, GIKATAKDANG MOPAGAWAS SA IYANG REAKSIYON KABAHIN SA PAG-PULL OUT SA HANJIN SA MISAMIS OR
05/01/08

Gikatakdang mopagawas karong adlawa sa iyang reaksiyon si Mayor Lawrence Cruz kabahin sa gikatahong pag pull-out sa Korean Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction Corporation gikan sa lungsod sa Tagoloan sakop sa lalawigan sa Misamis Oriental.

Kung kahinumduman nga nagsugod na ang Hanjin sa pagpatrabaho sa dos bilyones US dolyares (US$2-billion) nga shipyard project sa nasangpit nga lungsod diin gikalipay kini sa mga kasikbit nga local government units, lakip na ni Mayor Cruz. Ang maong proyekto gilaumang makahatag og trabaho ngadto sa libo-an ka mga residente sa lalawigan, lakip na dinhi sa Iligan. Kamatouran niini, una nang nagpahigayon og jobs fair dinhi sa dakbayan alang sa maong proyekto.

Wala gilayon makahatag kagahapon si Mayor Cruz sa iyang reaksiyon kabahin sa maong pag pull-out sa Hanjin tungod kay hangtud sa pagsulat ning balita, kamulo pang kontak ang mayor ngadto sa kadagkuan sa nasangpit nga kompanya aron masusi ang tinood nga panghitabo.

Matud pa sa taho, niadto pang nakalabay’ng Sabado, Abril 26, gi-undangan sa Hanjin ang ilang trabaho tungod sa problema ug kalisod nga nasinati niini tali sa gobyerno. Hinoon, adunay taho nga ang maong problema sa Hanjin maoy usa sa mga problema nga gituki atol sa pagbisita kagahapon ni Presidente Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo sa dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro. (Divina M.

Guys, did you know that there's a posibility that Iligan will adopt the "911" system for its emergency response center. It's actually a project that uses a special computer software to help authorities respond to distress calls - like in the US, Canada and in Davao. But the project could not be implemented soon because NTC would not permit the use of the said number for undisclosed reasons.

ILIGAN CITY HALL – situated on top of Buhanginan Hill, 130 feet above sea level, is the seat of Government of Iligan, built way back 1958. It is also a favorite promontory of Iliganons for viewing the sunset or skyline of the city by night. The grounds are sometimes utilized for official social functions.

ANAHAW OPEN AMPHI-THEATER – Located at the Buhanginan Hill in the southeastern side of city hall. It is only 2.3 kilometers from the city proper. Probably the biggest open Amphitheater in Mindanao. A beautiful site to view Iligan City, where children can romp around the playground. The road going
to the top of the hill is a challenge and favorite destination for early morning exercise.

Diyandi Festival sa Iligan

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h117/Alingatong/SSC/diyandi1.jpg

Folk-lore depicts Iligan’s patron saint,
St. Michael the Archangel as the protector of
peace. During the 70s, at the height of the
secessionist hostilities in Mindanao, people
believed that Iligan remained untouched
and safe from rebel attacks because of the
miracles of St. Michael.
One evening, when a hostile group
was poised to
attack Iligan
City, the rebels
r e t r e a t e d
because they
could not find
the city as it
was transformed into
a lake. Another story
told is that the Patron
Saint makes his
rounds in the evening
as evidenced by amorseko grass on his clothes and
muddy boots.
These are just a few of the many stories about
St. Michael. Even the story of his installation as
patron saint of Iligan continues to inspire and
endear him to each and every Iliganon.
Thus, his feast every 29th of September, is a grand
celebration in Iligan. In fact, it has transformed into a month-long
festival, the DIYANDI FESTIVAL SA ILIGAN.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h117/Alingatong/SSC/diyandi2.jpg

Diyandi is a ritual performed by an all-female group outside the Cathedral during
the Pagkanaug, before every novena and before the start of the Komedya, or Comedia
de San Miguel, a folk stage play depicting the celestial battle. The ritual depicts the
courtship between a Maranao male and Higaonon female, and culminating into an offering
symbolic of their union and bountiful harvest to St. Michael the Archangel. The ritual
aptly describes the peaceful co-existence of Iligan’s tri-people – Maranaos, Higaonons and
Christians

Pizza Hut brand franchise holder to expand business in Mindanao (http://www.bworldonline.com/BW050508/content.php?id=046)

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — Philippine Pizza, Inc., franchise holder of the Pizza Hut brand, is expanding to nearby Iligan City within the year.

Of more than 140 Pizza Hut restaurants operating nationwide, only five are located in Mindanao — two in this city, two in Davao City and one in General Santos City.

A ranking company official said Iligan City’s economic prospects are bright given residents’ increasing income.

The city has reported increased activities in the last two years after Global Steel Philippines, a subsidiary of an Indian conglomerate, took over the old National Steel Corp. complex, Iligan’s largest employer with over 2,000 workers.

Several major industries in the city, especially those that are export-oriented, have also expanded their operations in recent years.

This city and Iligan comprise the Cagayan-Iligan industrial corridor, which hosts dozens of large manufacturing establishments employing thousands of workers.

Philippine Pizza, Inc. has reported a significant improvement in its business in Mindanao and expressed optimism new promotional packages would further boost its sales this year.

Charles Baer, Pizza Hut marketing manager, noted that since they launched the P99 meals in the second week of January, sales have gone up by 20%.

"We are expecting to have another 5% increase until the end of this year since we want to reach the C market," said Mr. Baer.

He added that while budget meals have higher production cost than individual servings, more people buy these.

"The customer will save more with these P99 value meals. Customers can enjoy the food without paying for service charge," Mr. Baer said.

Value meals may include rice, soup, pasta, pizza and salad. Most customers who dine at Pizza Hut outlets here are young urban professionals, college students and families, Mr. Baer said.

Natalie Kay Yap, who frequents a local outlet, said regular and family servings of Pizza Hut’s pan pizza are her favorites. "The regular and family servings have more toppings on them than the pan pizza served in value meals," Ms. Yap said. — Geefe P. Alba

Mr. Lopido has already attended three workshops in the region which include the All Waray Creative Writing Workshop, the 7th Creative Writing Workshop at the University of the Philippines in Tacloban, and the Lamiraw Creative Workshop conducted in Calbayog City.

PIA-8 through its Regional Director Erlinda Olivia P. Tiu is proud to for officially endorsing Mr. Lopido to participate in the INWW because she is an avid advocate in the promotion and preservation of Waray literature.

As a writing fellow from Eastern Visayas, the writer will be given transportation allowance and free board and lodging for the whole duration of the INWW. Said participant will be billeted at the Elena Tower Inn located just beside the MSU-ITT along the national highway in Tibanga.

The revival of Waray literature in Eastern Visayas particularly Waray poetry has gained appreciation and interest by some enthusiast as some schools continue conducting the same regional training-workshops for free led by UP Professor Merlie Alunan like the University of the Philippines Tacloban and Tiburcio Tancinco Memorial Institute of Science and Technology in Calbayog City.

KONSEHAL RUIZ MIPASABOT SA KATUYO-AN SA INDIGENCY CARD
05/06/08

“Mas mahinungdanon ang indigency card kung itandi sa indigency certificate nga makuha sa matag barangay”. Kini ang gipahayag ni Konsehal Chonilo Ruiz ngadto sa mga tinun-ang mipa-ilalom sa Special Program for the Employment of Students kun SPES o summer job atol sa usa ka orientation program human sa flag raising ceremony sa mga kawani sa city hall kagahapong adlawa.

Sumala pa niya, buot ipatuman ang indigency card system sa kagamhanang lokal tungod kay nasayrang gi-abuso na sa pipila ka tawo ang indigency certificate gikan sa kabaranggayan. Gisaysay ni Konsehal Ruiz nga adunay problema sa sistema sa indigency certificate tungod bisan ang dili tinuod nga residente sa barangay o kaha dili tinuod nga indigent makakuha niini.

Giawhagan sa Committee Chairman on Health sa konseho ang mga SPES beneficiaries nga ilhon gayud ang tinuod nga mga kabus sa ilang tagsa-tagsa ka barangay nga matawag nga indigent aron mamahimong epektibo ang indigency card system sa siyudad.

Sa nasayran, gitahasan karon ang mga nag-summer job nga mga tinun-an nga moabag sa mga personahe sa Barangay Affairs Office ubos sa buhatan ni Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz, sa pag-ila sa mga indigents sa matag barangay alang sa ipatumang indigency card system. (boy decena)

MAYOR CRUZ POSITIBONG MAGPAAYON AND HANJIN SHIPBUILDING PROJECT
05/06/08

Daku pa gihapon ang paglaum ni Mayor Lawrence Cruz nga padayonon sa Korean Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction Corporation ang pagbutang og Ship Building Plant sa Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental.

Human kini nga nanginlabot na ang Malakanyang sa maong problema ug misaad nga hatagan na kini sa permiso nga maka-operate sa nasangpit nga lungsod, pinaagi sa pagtugot sa lokal nga kagamhanan sa Tagoloan.

Gibarugan ni Mayor Cruz nga daku ang ikatabang sa dos bilyones dolyares nga shipbuilding project sa Hanjin alang sa paghatag og trabaho ngadto sa liboan ka mga indibiduwal sa Rehiyon-10, lakip na ang Iligan.

Miprangka usab ang mayor nga dili siya mo-uyon sa plano sa senado nga pa-imbestigahan ang maong isyu tungod kay wala ra gihapo’y paingnan ang maong imbestigasyon sama sa nahitabo sa kontrobersiyal nga ZTE broadband deal. Ang mahitabo, matud pa, pulos lamang unya pasikat ug grandstanding sa mga senador nga kontra sa administrasyon diha sa himoong imbestigasyon.

Kini nga baruganan ni Mayor Cruz gi-uyunan usab ni Governor Khalid Dimaporo sa Lanao del Norte, diin giklaro sa batan-ong gobernador nga kung ipahigayon ang imbestigasyon, pulos lamang dayon kini pagpangdaut ngadto kang Presidente Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo ang mahitabo.

Ang duha ka mga opisyal nanghinaut nga dili mahinayon ang pag pull-out sa Hanjin, ug pareho usab silang duha nagpadayag nga welcome ang Hanjin sa ilang matag dapit aron lamang dili kini mawala sa Rehiyon-10. (Divina M. Suson)

MENSAHE NI KONSEHAL CRUZ SA MGA BATAN-ON SA SIYUDAD
05/07/08

“Be part of the solution, not the problem” o sa binisaya pa “himoon ta nga kabahin kita sa solusyon, dili sa problema”. Kini ang hagit ni Konsehal Erika Rae Cruz, Federation President sa Sangguniang Kabataan sa Iligan, sa iyang isigkabatan-on atol sa pagbukas kagahapong adlawa sa 3rd Youth Camp ug 2nd Rover Moot didto sa Pugaan Elementary School, Pugaan ning dakbayan. Mipasi-ugda sa nasangpit nga kalihukan mao ang SK Federation sa siyudad ug Boy Scouts of the Philippines-Iligan City Council.

Gipahayag sa batan-ong konsehal nga gituyo ang pagpahigayon sa maong youth camp aron ma-umol ang mga SK officials sa kabaranggayan ning siyudad sa nagkalain-laing praktikal nga mga pamaagi sa usa ka maayong lider pinaagi sa gi-andam nga mga training modules. Ang maong youth camp eksklusibo lamang unang gisalmutan sa mga SK.

Hinoon, gipaklaro ni Konsehal Ariel Anghay, kinsa katambayayong ni Konsehal Cruz sa naasoy’ng kalihukan ug Council Scout Executive sa BSP-Iligan, nga gidesinyo nila ang mga module sa trainings nga dili lang basta makakat-on ang mga batan-on apan malingaw usab kini. Sumala pa niya, ang mga training modules gilangkuban sa Challenge Valley, Emergency Preparedness, Drug-Free Iligan ug Scout Skills.

Nagtoo si Konsehal Cruz nga kung magiyahan lamang sa insakto ang mga batan-on, dili imposible nga mao na unya kini ang mamahimong tubag sa problema sa nasud sama kriminalidad, kawad-on, korupsiyon ug uban pa.

Mipaluyo usab sa gibuksang Youth Camp ug Rover Moot ang mga kadagko-an sa Division of City Schools sa Department of Education ug buhatan ni Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz pinaagi sa Youth Affairs Office pinanguluhan ni Milton Viajante.

Gitakdang tapuson ang maong kalihukan sa petsa 8 ning bulana, adlaw’ng Huwebes.(boy decena /mta)

Mayor urges public to join Beep

ILOILO City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas is urging the residents of the city to participate in the Barangay Emergency Employment Program (Beep).

Beep aims to clean the drainage system of the city starting on May 16. Alternate schedule is on May 19.

Treñas said, on a recent visit to the area, plastics were the main cause of flood during heavy rains.

"No matter how we construct the drainage system, as long as the people are throwing the plastics, there would be no improvement in our drainage system," Treñas said in an interview.

People should minimize the use of plastic or properly dispose it after use. He said plastics should be thrown in trashcans to be collected and brought at the dumpsite. Some of the plastics from the city are already being brought in Iligan City and used by Holcim as an ingredient in making cement.

The mayor also mandated all residents of the relocation sites in the city to plant trees in their backyard. Planting is one of the programs of Beep. The City Agriculturist will provide seedlings of fruit trees for the relocation site residents.

The project is seen to benefit everyone in the city as it could minimize pollution and further protect the environment. (RSG/MCB/RBV)

KAPITAN ERMAC, NAGTOONG MASULBAD NA ANG ROAD RIGHT OF WAY SA ILANG BARANGAY HALL
05/08/08

Dako ang pagsalig ni Barangay Kapitan Humberto “Bading” Ermac sa Barangay San Roque ning dakbayan nga masulbad na pipila ka adlaw gikan karon ang problema sa road right of way paingon sa ilang barangay hall.

Sa pakighinabi ngadto kaniya, giasoy niini nga iya nang gidangop ngadto kang Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz ang maong kahimtang hinungdan nga gitabangan siya karon nga mapangitaan og gahin aron ibayad ngadto sa mga tag-iya sa naasoy’ng propiedad.

Kung kahinumduman, pipila na ka mga administrasyon sa siyudad ang milabay ug nagpabilin pa gihapon ang naasoy’ng problema sa nasangpit nga barangay nga naka-apektar usab sa mga residente ug bisita nga adunay transaksyon sa ilang barangay hall.

Gidasig karon ni Kapitan Ermac ang mga mulopyo sa iyang barangay nga maghiusa ug ihiklin ang politika aron magpadayon na ang mga kalamboan sa Barangay San Roque. (boy decena)

DALIPUGA DRIVERS ASSOCIATION MIDANGOP SA BUHATAN NI MAYOR CRUZ
05/08/08

Midangop sa buhatan ni Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz kagahapon sa buntag ang mga sakop sa Dalipuga Drivers Association aron paghangyo nga magpataliwala sa ilang problema batok sa Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board o LTFRB.

Hangyo sa maong grupo, pinanguluhan ni Renato Lozano, nga makiglambigit si Mayor Cruz sa buhatan ni LTFRB Regional Director Mandagan Darimbang aron pangitaan og solusyon ang ilang reklamo batok kang Vidal Aranaydo sa lokal nga buhatan sa LTFRB tungod sa pagpasulod niini og dugang linya sa Dalipuga nga wala, matud pa, maagi sa tukmang proseso.

Bahad sa grupo, molusad sila og welga batok LTFRB kung dili maresolbar ang naasoy’ng isyu.

Agi’g pagsanong sa hangyo sa nasangpit nga grupo sa mga drivers ug operators, mitawag gilayon si Mayor Cruz ngadto kang Darimbang. Sa ilang pagsultihanay, misaad ang naulahing opisyal nga personal nga mobisita sa buhatan sa naha-una pipila ka adlaw gikan karon.

Angay’ng masayran nga miresulta sa pagka-paralisa sa biyahe gikan ug padulong sa Dalipuga sulod sa pipila ka oras ang nahitabong pag-lobby sa mga sakop sa Dalipuga Drivers Associationkagahapong adlawa nga nakaapektar usab sa mga sumasakay nga publiko. (boy decena)

In Iligan kasi most industries use the beach for their loading facilities (port, jetty, etc.), kaya they also own most of the coastal properties especially in Dalipuga-Kiwalan-Sta. Felomina stretch and "informal settlers" cannot just enter and construct shanties. The fact that the industries are located adjacent to each other made it difficult for illegal occupants to settle in between. Still, in some areas meron pa rin. Fact is the number one pollutants of coastal waters come from doemstic sources and not from industries.

05/08/08

KASABUTAN KABAHIN SA PAGTANOM UG PAG-SUPPLY OG SAGING KARDABA SA MGA MAG-UUMA SA ILIGAN, GIPIRMAHAN
05/07/08

Gipirmahan na kagahapon ang kasabutan o Memorandum of Understanding tali sa kagamhanang lokal sa Iligan ug sa negosyanteng si Mr. Ruben See.

Unod sa maong kasabutan mao ang pagtanom sa mga mag-uuma sa Iligan og saging kardaba aron i-supply ngadto sa kompanya sa nasangpit nga negosyante nga mao ang See Foods Manufacturing.

Matud pa ni See, ilang paliton ang maong produkto sa mga mag-uuma sa presyo nga dili usab maalkanse ang mobaligya ug ang mopalit.

Kung maayo ang mamahimong dagan sa pagpananom ug pinalitay sa saging, sunod nga lakang niini mao ang pagtukod og Banana Chips Processing Plant dinhi sa Iligan.

Alayon niini, gidasig ni Mayor Lawrence Cruz ang mga mag-uuma nga mitambong sa nasangpit nga MOU signing kagahapon sa paghatag og seryosong pagtagad sa niini. Kini tungod kay talagsaon lamang ang kahigayonan nga gitanyag sa negosyanteng si See ngadto sa mga Iliganon.

Matud pa sa Mayor nga higayon na aron mapalambo ang 82% nga agricultural land sa Iligan. Nag-awhag usab si Mayor Cruz nga dili lamang ang saging kardaba ang tutukan sa pagpananom apan lakip na ang saging tundan ug lakatan, kamote ug uban pang lagutmon tungod kay basin mo-abot ang higayon nga momahal na usab ang maong mga produkto dinhi sa Iligan tungod kay gamay na lang ang supply.

Gibutyag ni Konsehal Simplicio “Pisyong” Larrazabal III, Committee Chairman on Agricultura and Food sa konseho, nga mo-abot sa 15 ngadto sa 20 ka tonelada matag adlaw ang gikinahanglan sa magpapatigayong si See alang sa iyang negosyo. (Divina M. Suson)

GSII DESIDIDO NANG MOBAYAD SA ILANG BUWIS SA SIYUDAD
05/07/08

Gibutyag ni Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz nga mipadangat na kaniya og sulat ang mga kadagko-an sa Global Steel o GSII nga nagpadayag sa ilang interes nga mobayad sa ilang real property tax sa siyudad sugod sa tuig 2002 ngadto sa 2008.

Sumala sa asoy sa pamuno-dakbayan lakip nga buot bayran sa nasangpit nga planta ang mga penalties ug surcharges bunga sa kalangan sa pagbayad sa ilang batakang obligasyon. Kini adunay kinatibuk-ang kantidad nga mokabat ngadto sa 45.083 milyones pesos sa mga propiedad real nga naglangkob sa upat ka titulo ug napulo ka tax declarations.

Subay niini, naglaraw karon si Mayor Cruz nga mosulat ngadto sa liquidator sa National Steel Corporation, ang kanhi tag-iya sa maong planta, aron pag-awhag kanila sa pagbayad sa ilang delingkwenting buwis gikan sa tuig 1999 ngadto sa 2002 aron ma-areglo na gayud ang isyu sa tax delinquency sa naasoy’ng planta sa puthaw.

Sigun sa nasayran gikan ni City Treasurer Louela Maybituin, kung ang GSII lamang ang mobayad sa ilang obligasyon, ang mahatagan lamang og tax clearance sa Mayor mao ra usab ang mga tuig 2002 ngadto sa 2008, ug dili malakip niini ang sa tuig 1999 ngadto 2002.

Ang tax clearance sa tanang mga propiedad real sa NSC mao ang gipangayo karon sa GSII alang sa ilang laraw’ng 1.2 bilyones dolyares nga integrated steel mill expansion dinhi sa Iligan. (mta)

Mas excited ako sa 2002-2008. About Php2B kasi AFAIK. Malaking tulong talaga ito to finance the infrastructure projects of the city.

Anong operational beaches diyan sa Iligan? ^^

I guess your beaches out there are still good despite you have those huge cement, chemical, and steel plants, unlike what we have in CdeO. Hope thus beaches of yours will be promoted more, not only to local tourists, but foreigners too just like awesome waterfalls out there. :cheers:

^^ This is Bucana Beach.

If London has Big Ben telling them what time it is, Iligan has their own Big Ben telling them to eat there where the food is reasonably priced and delicious. :cheers:

On my recent visit to Iligan City, I had dinner one evening at Big Ben. The moment I saw the place I instantly recognized it from an earlier picture of it that was posted here on Iligan SSC. I found Big Ben to be a very enjoyable place, friendly, clean and good service. Despite the numerous cautions and advisories I had received from a Travel Doctor here in the USA before visiting The Philippines, none of the food I consumed in Iligan or CDO made me feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. I stayed away from drinking tap water as I had been advised and drank bottled water only and certin well known bottled or canned soft drinks and an occasional well known soft drink from taps in Jollibee, also with no problem although I stayed away from ice cubes. Topping it all off with a few bottles of San Miguel at the Club 7 in the evening. So many of the places I went to in Iligan City were shown here on SSC Iligan that many times it seemed as if I had been absorbed right into my Internet Screen here at home and came out on the other end, where so many of these pictures were taken. Big Ben was one of those places.

and what do they do with the malodorous smoke of burning plastic? some "bugoys" use that to kill the neighbor's chicken. :lol:

The quantity and quality of both odor and smoke is negligible due to the super high temperature inside the kiln and I think Holcim management also has certain cement quality parameters to follow so hindi nila basta lang nilalagyan ng maraming plastic (by batch siguro). Besides, enclosed naman yung kiln. The final emission passes through the smoke stack then the electrostatic precipitator (EP) where 99.9% of particulate matter are trapped. The EP was the solution why bumalik sa green yung Lugait-Dalipuga-Kiwalan area. Before, puro color white yung mga taniman dahil sa dust from the cement operations. Kaya lang, the firm had to buy 2 EPs (1 for operation, 1 as standby when the other undergoes maintenance), and each unit costs millions of dollars....

ABC, MOTABANG PAGBALIGYA OG NFA RICE
05/09/08

Tungod sa nakit-an nga problema sa mga konsumante, nagplano karon ang Association of Barangay Councils (ABC) nga motabang og baligya sa bugas sa National Food Authority (NFA rice) ngadto sa kabaranggayan. Matud pa ni ABC President Konsehal Bernard “Tete” Pacaña, nagkasinabot ang nasangpit nga kahugpungan nga ilang paliton gikan sa bodega sa NFA ang maong sinako nga bugas sa susamang presyo ug ilang ibaligya ngadto sa susamang presyo usab. Sundon gihapon nila ang kamandoan sa nasangpit nga ahensiya sa gobyerno nga tagduha ka kilo ang ibaligya ngadto sa matag mamalitay.

Gikumpirma ni Konsehal Pacaña nga nagsulat na sila ngadto sa General Manager sa NFA aron ilang ipaabot ang maayong tinguha alang sa katawhan sa dakbayan.

Giklaro usab sa nasangpit nga opisyal nga magpabilin lang gihapon ang kinse ka mga Bigasan ni Gloria sa Palengke outlets ug dili kini angayan wagtangon. Niini nga paagi, matud pa, malikayan na sa mga mamalitay nga molinya og taas kaayo apan dili ra gihapon kini makapalit tungod kay nahutdan.

Kung kahinumduman nga nahimong sagad nga reklamo sa nga konsumante sa Iligan ang sistema sa pipila ka mga mamalitay ang pagkapakyas kanunay nga makapalit og NFA rice sa mga BGP outlets bisan paman sa taas nga oras nga ilang gigahin aron lang molinya. (Divina M. Suson)

Erap visits Iligan, says there was no rice crisis during his term
05/09/2008 | 03:33 PM

ILIGAN CITY, Philippines - Former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada on Friday blamed the Arroyo administration for the rice crisis which continues to hound Filipinos.

In a speech delivered before a crowd of 3,000 Iliganons, Estrada said that sufficient budget was allotted for agriculture during his term and that it made Mindanao the food basket of southern Philippines.

He also said that Malacanang now supports Luzon and Visayas but not Mindanao.

Estrada said that during his time, there was no economic crisis and that there was ample supply of rice.

Now, he said, the country imports rice.

He also reminded the audience that during his term, 48 camps of Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in Mindanao were destroyed when he declared an all-out war on March 17, 2000 in Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte.

Estada lamented that those MILF camps destroyed have been resurrected during the Arroyo administration.

"There should only be one Armed Forces of the Philippines, one constitution and one Filipino nation," Estrada said.

"Economic stability could only be achieved if real peace will be attained,"he added.

Asked about his plans for 2010, Estrada told reporters that he visited Iligan to unify the oppostion in Mindanao.

Estrada also lauded the voters of the first district of Lanao del Norte for installing Congressman Vicente Belmonte, saying that they fought for the truth against his political rivals in the last May 2007 election.

With Estrada were Cagayan de Oro Vice Mayor Vicente Emano, San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito Estrada and former senator Ernesto Maceda. - GMANews.TV
