HANJIN SHIPBUILDING PROJECT SA MISAMIS ORIENTAL, MAGPADAYON
05/29/08

Ipadayon sa Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction Corporation ang 2 Billion US Dollar-Shipbuilding Project sa mga lungsod sa Tagoloan ug Villanueva, Misamis Oriental human sa pag-atras unta niini niadtong bulan tungod sa gika-ingong pressure sa duha ka mga local government units.

Kini ang bag-ong kalambo-an nga gihatod ni Director Allan Macaraya sa Department of Labor and Employment-Region 10 atol sa Launching Program sa GMA Kiosk didto sa city hall kagahapong adlawa.

Sumala niya, nadasig ang maong kompaniya nga ipadayon ang ilang proyekto tungod sa pagpanginlabot na karon ni Presidente Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo hinungdan nga mihimo na lamang sila karon sa pag-reprogram sa ilang plano sa maong proyekto sanglit aduna ma’y adjustments nga angay nilang pagahimoon tungod sa ila untang pagsulay sa pag-pull-out. Giasoy usab sa opisyal nga gitinguha karon sa Hanjin ang pagbalik sa ilang operasyon karong umaabot nga bulan sa Septembre.

Sa iyang bahin, gikalipay ni Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz ang nasayrang taho sa DOLE-10 tungod kay bag-ong paglaum kini alang niadtong mi-apply na nga taga-Iligan atol sa Jobs Fair niadtong Abril 5. Una nang gibutyag sa Mayor nga libo-an ka mga trabahante gikan sa atong dakbayan ang i-hire sa Hanjin alang sa duha ka mga proyekto nga mao ang Shipbuilding sa Tagoloan ug Villanueva ug Laguindingan Airport.

BAHIA DE YLIGAN

SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET NO. 1, APROBADO NA SA KONSEHO
05/29/08

Aprobado na sa Sangguniang Panlungsod sa Iligan atol sa gipahigayong special session kagahapong adlawa ang 85,199,784 pesos nga unang Supplemental Budget sa siyudad ning tuiga, nga gi-endosar ni Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz.

Sa wala pa ang hingpit nga pag-aproba niini, mihimo una ang konseho sa makuting deliberasyon lakip na ang pagkumpirmar gikan kang City Treasurer Louela Maybituin sa availability sa maong salapi.

Nasayran sa SP gikan kang Maybituin nga nagdawat karon ang kagamhanan sa siyudad og aktwal nga share sa Internal Revenue Allotment o IRA nga nagkantidad og 49.1 milyones pesos matag bulan. Nagpasabot, matud pa, nga mokabat sa 589 milyones pesos kapin ang aktwal IRA sa siyudad ug dili ang 504 milyones pesos nga nalakip diha sa na-aprobahang Annual Budget ning tuiga.

Kini ang hinungdan nga gipaagi sa supplemental budget ang wala ma-appropriate nga kapin sa 85 milyones pesos. Ang 69.93 milyones niini madugang ngadto sa General Fund samtang ang 15.29 milyones mapa-ingon sa Special Account.

Labing dako nga bahin niini ang dugang gahin alang sa maintenance ug pag-ayo sa mga kadalanan ug maintenance sa electric and power ubos sa City Engineer’s Office. Nakalakip usab ang alang sa pag-ayo sa Tambacan Foot Bridge, pag-upgrade sa mga kagamitan sa laboratoryo sa Iligan City Waterworks Systems Office, mga barangay projects, financial assistance sa Association of Barangay Council ug ubang panginahanglanon sa nagkalain-laing departamento o buhatan.

Atol sa Launching Program sa GMA Kiosk kagahapong adlawa didto sa city hall lobby, personal nga nagpakisayud si Mayor Cruz gikan kang Director Allan Macaraya sa Department of Labor and Employment-Region 10 kalabot sa mga pamaagi sa pag-angkon og dugang unit sa nasangpit nga gamit. Usa sa nakitang dapit diin ipahimutang ang GMA kiosk mao ang pagabuksang Gaisano Mall sa Barangay Villa Verde.

Sa nasayran gikan ni Director Macaraya, nagkantidad ang matag unit sa GMA kiosk og 150 mil pesos.

Hinoon, ang unang unit nga gipahimutang kagahapong adlawa sa city hall, libre nga naangkon sa siyudad gikan sa DOLE gamit ang gahin gikan sa walo ka mga congressional districts sa Rehiyon 10. Sa pagkakaron, aduna pa lama’y upat ka GMA kiosk ang Rehiyon 10 nga napahimutang sa Robinson’s Mall ug Provincial Capitol sa Misamis Oriental didto sa Cagayan de Oro, usa sa Ozamiz ug usa dinhi sa Iligan.

Falling for Tinago Falls
By Jet Encila
Thursday, May 29, 2008

ILIGAN CITY -- Somewhere in the deep jungles of this bustling Northern Mindanao, metropolis is a sanctuary for weary souls seeking to commune with nature.

Nestled in the laidback town of Buru-un in Barangay Ditucalan some 14 kilometers away from downtown, Tinago Falls is one of this city's premiere tourist spots.

It is, like the country's highest -- Maria Cristina, located in the same city -- the creme dela creme of Iligan's 23 magnificent waterfalls.

With the moniker "Land of the Majestic Waterfalls", Tinago Falls is approximately 240-feet high, with ice-cold waters cascading elegantly into a deep and calm basin-like pool resembling a blue-colored lagoon about a hundred feet deep.

Beneath the falls is a small cave where people can enter and listen to the rumbling waters. The lagoon is a perfect place for swimming, at least, for those built for the cold climate.

Nobody is allowed into the water without a life vest on for safety. Entrance fee is P10, excluding fare for the bamboo raft that's a must for first-time visitors.

The "main event" in Tinago Falls is the "pounding" one gets from standing directly beneath the waterfalls (the left side, that is, not the thick white mass, as shown in the photo).

Like thousands of nails hitting your head, the might of onrushing water couldn't be more exhilarating for any adventurer's adrenaline experience. A Tinago escapade is never complete without this kind of "beating."

As the name implies, Tinago Falls is hidden deep in a narrow ravine shrouded by thick foliage about a thousand feet below the ground.

As other popular waterfalls require treks of laborious ascent, the path that leads to this secluded paradise is a well-defined 500-step descent on a winding concrete staircase that makes the trail safer and gives adventurers less stress on their kneecaps. A lung-busting foot march on the same trail back to the top makes the entire trek challenging and unforgettable.

Urban legend has it that scuba divers from foreign lands once tried to fathom the lagoon's depths, until some of them failed to surface from its abyss. Up to this day, some locals insist the lagoon is a thousand feet deeper.

As mystic as its name signifies, they believe supernatural elements they long hail as the true guardians of this enchanted refuge still inhabit the area.

The charm of Tinago Falls is a binding spell to nature lovers who once had to literally crawl their way down through the woods and hold on to tree roots and branches just to reach the site.

The City Government made reaching this veiled natural wonder a breeze with the construction of the concrete staircase, but human intervention has its price as the once lush Eden has now succumbed to intrusion and neglect.

Accessibility and popularity seem to have made Tinago Falls more vulnerable to commercialism, but despite the seeming burden that it has to endure with the daily influx of humanity ever "hungry" to partake of its allure, this sanctuary is one place you shouldn't ever miss.

LIBOAN KA MGA SIMILYA, GI-APOD-APOD NGADTO SA TILAPIA GROWERS ASSOCIATION SA ILIGAN

Gipangunahan ang maong kalihukan ni Director Jaime dela Vega sa Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) ubos sa Department of Agriculture (DA) nga nakabase didto sa kaulohan. Si dela Vega mao usab ang Action Officer sa Production Enhancement Program ug Agribusiness Land Hunger Mitigation Program sa BFAR.

Nasayran gikan ni Acting City Agriculturist Ocatvius Molo, napa-ilalom na ang nahimong mga beneficiaries sa usa ka seminar alang sa kalampusan sa maong fingerling dispersal aron gayud sila magmalampuson sa maong matang sa panginabuhi-an.

Sa laing bahin, gi-awhagan ni Director dela Vega ang city agriculture sa paghimo og follow-up sa gipangayo niining tabang alang sa mga gagmay’ng mananagat nga naapektuhan sa kalamidad nga mihapak sa dakbayan niadtong bulan sa Nobyembre sa miaging tuig. (boy decena)

First computer lab for teacher training launched in Mindanao State U
05/29/2008 | 05:10 PM

MANILA, Philippines - A Philippine group specializing in the integration of information technology in education has linked with a World Bank-funded non-government organization to build computer labs for teacher training.

The Foundation for Information Technology Education and Development (FIT-ED), in collaboration with international group World Links, recently inaugurated the first computer laboratory at the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT).

With 11 networked computers and broadband Internet access, the MSU-IIT lab is expected to serve as a resource hub for in-service and pre-service teachers. In-service teachers refers to those currently employed in educational institutions, while those in the pre-service category pertains to college students majoring in education.

The facility is intended to train teachers and educators for the effective use of new technologies to enhance classroom learning.

At the heart of the center’s program is a four-phase training curriculum for teachers and teacher educators on digital literacy, instructional design of ICT-enhanced activities, and computer- and Web-supported educational collaboration, which will be delivered by MSU-IIT master teachers trained by World Links Philippines.

World Links Philippines is part of a Southeast Asia-wide program of the international non-governmental organization World Links, which has extensive experience in Africa, Latin America, and the Arab region in developing local capacity for ICT-curriculum integration.

Funding for this regional program is being provided by the Japan Social Development Fund, which is administered by the World Bank. Other countries covered by the grant are Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR and Vietnam.

FIT-ED, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, has spearheaded several local education initiatives in the last decade. Such initiatives include partnering with private companies and government agencies.

Following a three-year implementation plan developed by MSU-IIT with FIT-ED, the center will deliver teacher professional development workshops to teacher educators, pre-service teachers and in-service teachers in Lanao del Norte and the rest of Northern Mindanao.

In addition, the lab will spearhead the development of ICT-supported instructional materials, provide pedagogical support and mentoring to local teachers and teacher educators, initiate and support research
activities in the area of educational technology use, and conduct community outreach activities.

“This inauguration marks the hope of a brighter future for basic education in our region," said MSU-IIT College of Education dean Lydie Paderanga during the formal opening of the World Links Center in Iligan. “Today we celebrate the promise of higher-quality education for our students, made possible by preparing our teachers to improve the teaching and learning process through the use of ICTs in education."

Five other World Links Centers will be launched by the end of June at Western Visayas College of Science and Technology in Iloilo, Saint Louis University College of Education in Baguio City, Mariano Marcos State University in Laoag, the Department of Education Province Division Office in Cebu City, and the Cordillera Regional Science High School in La Trinidad, Benguet.

Domingo V. Samson, schools division superintendent, DepEd Iligan, said that the Tambacan Elementary School is the pilot project site in Region 10 of the so-called ALIVE- the Arabic Language and Islamic Values Education in Alternative Learning System (ALS).

The program caters not only to the OSYs but to Muslim adults as well, said Samson. The 'Asatidz'-Arabic term for teacher, shall handle classes at the respective Mosque in the area every Saturdays and Sundays only, 3 to 4 hours per week, with a minimum of 25 to 30 students in a class for a period of 10 months, as required by the Education Department, added Samson.

Chief ALS Region 10 Gil Constantino, the barangay officials of Tambacan, and the Rotary Club of Iligan Bay represented by its incoming president Atty. Arthur Abudiente.

Panaligan explained that the program is funded at the national level through the BALS and releasing of funds shall be in quarterly basis channeling DepEd Iligan and Rotary Iligan- as the service provider shall receive the funds for operation, DepEd Iligan to only provide technical assistance. "We have to have a check and balance, parallel to the releases of funds for this project," Panaligan stressed.

Start of classes shall go with the DepEd's reguilar schedule for this year's school opening in June. In due time, we will be integrating livelihood skills training to the recipients of this program, Panaligan added. (PIA Iligan)

Marawi bishop leads opposition vs Napocor project
05/31/2008 | 08:15 AM

MANILA, Philippines - The bishop of Marawi in Lanao del Norte is leading opposition against a National Power Corp. (Napocor) proposal to submerge seven rice-land villages for electrification.

Bishop Edwin dela Peña said Napocor's proposed program will compromise the welfare of the people in the targeted villages, leading to loss of livelihood.

"On top of development, the primary concern must be the well-being of the people and not solely the interest of progress," he said in a statement on the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines website.

Dela Peña said that the Ranaw Pat A Pangampong (sultanates), composed of Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, Iligan City and Marawi City, is against the proposal to inundate seven villages of Baloi town.

Baloi, a fourth-class municipality in Lanao del Norte, hosts the Agus IV Hydroelectric Power Plant located in the village of Nangka, which is 18 km from Iligan City,

Agus IV is the first underground hydroelectric plant in Mindanao and the third in the Philippines, located 120 meters below ground face. The plant is said to be sufficient to power a city more than 12 times the size of Iligan City, or to run 20 cement factories.

Dela Peña said he is supporting the clamor of the people to prevent the implementation of the project.

He added submerging the seven villages is tantamount to destroying the seat of power of the Sultanate of Baloi.

"If we allow this project to continue we are tolerating the massive destructions to our lands and communities," said Dela Peña.

Dela Peña said that he is not against development especially if it will benefit the people, but if progress will lead to destruction then the Church will not tolerate it.

"We acknowledge the need for development but in such a way that it will not prejudice the lands, lives and livelihood of our people," he said.

He said, however, that if the people will give their consent to the proposal, he will respect their decision. - GMANews.TV

PRE-BID CONFERENCE SA 495 MILLION WATER PROJECT, GIPAHIGAYON KAGAHAPONG ADLAWA
05/31/08

Gipahigayon kagahapon sa buntag didto sa Cabigon Hall sa city hall ang Pre-Bid Conference alang sa 495 Million Peso Water Expansion sa siyudad. Midumala niini ang mga sakop sa Bids and Awards Committee sa kagamhanang lokal nga gipanguluhan ni Architect Gil Balondo.
Alang kang Engr. Wilfredo Bacareza, Manager sa Project Implementation Unit nga gimugna ni Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz, nagmalampuson ang naasoy’ng komperensiya tungod kay unom man ka mga dagkong contractors ang mitambong niini.

Ang unom ka mga contractors mao ang Vinhar Construction and Marketing sa Greenhills, San Juan, J.E. Manalo and Company, Inc. sa Pasig City, ang consortium sa R.D. Policarpio and Co. Inc., Jejor’s Construction Corporation ug Allado Construction Co. Inc. sa Cagayan de Oro, ug J. Vitangcol Construction Company nga nakabase sa Malate, Manila, Green Construction and Development Corporation ug Phesco Inc.-Sta. Clara International nga parehong taga Quezon City.
Mipasabot ngadto sa mga contractors kalabot sa unod sa bid documents ug tulo ka supplemental bid bulletin sila si Engr. Merlito Catolico ug Engr. Josephus Albao sa PIU ug Engr. Jaime Sato sa Iligan City Waterworks Systems Office.

Gihatagan na lamang karon sa BAC ang mga contractors og higayon nga makapangutana o magpakisayud sa dugang detalye sa proyekto hangtud sa Hunyo 3, ug ang PIU nga motubag sa maong mga pagpakisayud hangtud sa Hunyo 6, sa dili pa ang deadline sa pag-bid karong Hunyo 13, sa alas 10:00 ang takna sa buntag.

Pormal nga buksan ang bidding sa Hunyo 13, ala 1:30 ang takna sa hapon. (mta)

SEPTEMBRE 20, 2009 NGA COMPLETION DATE SA WATER EXPANSION PROJECT, WALA MAUSAB
05/31/08

“Wala mausab ang gitakda sa Project Implementation Unit nga Septembre 20, 2009 nga petsa sa pagtibawas sa 495 Million Peso Water Expansion Project sa siyudad”.

Kini ang gipamahayag ni Engr. Wilfredo Bacareza, PIU Manager, taliwala sa nasinating 90 ka adlaw nga kalangan karon diha sa implementation time table.

Matud pa, kumpiyansa siya nga adunay kapabilidad ang mapiling contractor nga makab-ot ang maong gitakdang deadline sa PIU. Naila na si Bacareza nga usa ka haniting enhenyero ug project manager sa kanhi niining gitrabaho-an nga planta, sa wala pa siya mahimong konsehal sa siyudad sa milabay’ng siyam ka tuig.

Dako usab ang iyang pagsalig nga madayon gayud ang proyekto tungod sa presensiya sa mga interesadong dagko nga mga contractors atol sa natigayong Pre-Bid Conference kagahapong adlawa. (mta)

nice arcade for Iligan... sana may skylite roof sa gitna para di mainit.


unsa ng naa sa kilid... i think gi-blur na.. mura man gud ug dagat.

For me, I don't like the design. Para siyang typical na public market. Sana i-reconsider ng architech yong overall plan. Dapat me character. Kung tutuusin, first commercial arcade yan sa bandabg Pala-o. Bigatin ang mga taga Pala-o at dapat bigatin din ang infra dyan.

Yong pangalan ng lugar, walang dating. Parang Ken Lee.

Tinood walay dating ang ngalan sa arcade.

Maau untag managhan ng arcade sa mga cities kay eventually will lead to a demand to a mall. IMO, nindot ang arcade sa mga kanto sa mga big communities, ma village, subdivision, or settlement.

^^Oi, ngayon ko lang naisip na Ken Lee pala yong nakalagay below your name. Sana di ka na-offend. Yong iniisip ko kasi yong Ken Lee d'on sa Bulgarian Idol.

Anyways, bat mo nasabing malapit sa dagat?

Guys, during our last meeting at DTI, it was mentioned by one of the members to come out with a nickname or a monicker for Iligan City ICT. There were many suggestions but one - "CyberBay Iligan". Sounds hightech, deem fit for Iligan, and has a name recall. It was agreed by principle to adopt the nickname though not yet official. The nickname "CyberBay Iligan" is to emphasize the collaboration between government, academia and industry in harnessing the technical talent and IT manpower as the key driving force in transforming the city to becoming the next ICT Hub.

Can you guys help us decide whether to adopt and make "CyberBay Iligan" the official nickname for Iligan's ICT? Please share your views. Suggestions are very much welcome.

^^ sounds fine to me :)

NFA denies report of panic buying in Lanao Norte
06/05/2008 | 01:59 AM

ILIGAN CITY, Philippines – National Food Authority (NFA) Provincial Manager of Lanao del Norte Raymundo Cotiangco on Wednesday denied reports of panic buying of subsidized rice in the region.

Earlier reports said Davao City residents scramble for NFA rice, but nothing of that sort happened in Lanao del Norte, Cotiangco said.

He also said that the province has not restricted selling of government rice to one kilo per family, adding that NFA accredited operators still sell two kilos of the grain for every household each day.

He said that Iligan City and the province of Lanao del Norte has sufficient supply of rice and would not raise prices from the current P18.25 per kilo.

“As of this time, many people want to take advantage of good quality rice at P18.25 per kilo and people troop to accredited NFA outlets, but as to panic buying, there was none," Cotiangco said.

Cotiangco admitted, however, there are two varieties of NFA rice to be distributed in the province and in Iligan City for a price of P25.00 a kilo.

NFA rice consumed in Iligan City and Lanao del Norte is about 7,600 bags a day for a population of about 800,000.

Meanwhile, Representative Vicente Belmonte of the First district of Lanao del Norte urged NFA to accredit Barangay chairmen to sell rice to their constituents.

Cotiangco, however, said the NFA is looking into the proposal. “That is a very good proposal but we have to consider the guidelines for distribution." - Ric Clet, GMANews.TV

Sounds great but how about giving it a try reversing the words, this way the location would be identified before the subject and would also it would appear and sound similar to " Iligan bay " which appears on the map. Using my imagination, that could be turned into a reality with a " Floating Cafe " with a nice sized cabin cruser or larger ship out in the bay with built in Cyber Cafe connecting via WiFi on the shore. Now that could make an interesting pic here on SSC .

World Bank-funded group opens up first of 6 PC labs for teacher training


By MELVIN G. CALIMAG

A World Bank-backed non-profit group has inaugurated a new computer laboratory at a top Mindanao university to train teachers and would-be teachers in the region for the integration of ICT in education.


The new facility at the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSUIIT) in Iligan City was funded by World Links Philippines and implemented through the Foundation for Information Technology Education and Development (FITED).

The laboratory, dubbed World Links Philippines Training Center, has 11 networked computers and broadband Internet access. The project has a total cost of P500,000 but the bulk of the money will be spent on teacher training, according to MSU-IIT chancellor Marcelo Salazar.

The computer laboratory in MSU-IIT is the first of six World Links Centers that are scheduled to be launched by the end of June in various parts of the country.

The labs to be launched are in Western Visayas College of Science and Technology in Iloilo, Saint Louis University College of Education in Baguio City, Mariano Marcos State University in Laoag, the Department of Education Province Division Office in Cebu City, and the Cordillera Regional Science High School in La Trinidad, Benguet.

The MSU-IIT lab is expected to serve as a resource hub for in-service and pre-service teachers. In-service refers to teachers currently employed in educational institutions, while preservice pertains to college students majoring in education.

Specifically, the facility is intended to train teachers and educators for the effective use of new technologies to enhance classroom learning.

At the heart of the center’s program is a four-phase training curriculum for teachers and teacher educators on digital literacy, instructional design of ICT-enhanced activities, and computer- and Web-supported educational collaboration, which will be delivered by MSU-IIT master teachers trained by World Links Philippines.

The computer center at MSU-IIT has a target of 95 trainees in 2008-2009, 100 trainees in 2009-2010, and 80 trainees in 2010-2011.

Liezl Formilleza-Dunuan, FITED deputy director for programs and research, the setting up of the computer center is a reward for MSU-IIT for completing various IT-related education projects and for demonstrating its ability to equip teachers in the area with the proper ICT skills.

According to Dr. Emmanuel Lagare, vice president for academic affairs of MSU System, the school started its IT education initiatives "long ago" also as a way of assisting teachers from Iligan and nearby areas.

Lagare said the university has taken part or currently participating in different undertakings such Intel Teach program, Project POSITIVE (Philippine Open Source Initiative), and the iEskwela program of the Commission on Information and Communications Technology.

Lydie Paderanga, dean of the College of Education where the lab is located, said her own college has been consciously upgrading the ICT proficiency of its students.

"We have, in fact, complied with the administrative order from the government to increase the units of educational technology as a subject from three units to six units," she said.

Paderanga said 80 percent of their 1,700 education students are science majors. "As a whole, MSU-IIT has the highest concentration of science and technology scholars in the whole of Mindanao," she said.

Following a three-year implementation plan developed by MSU-IIT with FITED, the center will deliver teacher professional development workshops to teacher educators, pre-service teachers and in-service teachers in Lanao del Norte and the rest of Northern Mindanao.

In addition, the lab will spearhead the development of ICT-supported instructional materials, provide pedagogical support and mentoring to local teachers and teacher educators, initiate and support research activities in the area of educational technology use, and conduct community outreach activities.

World Links Philippines is part of a Southeast Asia-wide program of the international non-governmental organization World Links, which has extensive experience in Africa, Latin America, and the Arab region in developing local capacity for ICT-curriculum integration.

DIMSUM... one of those signages I designed and produced. good memories of Iligan. :yes:

Sounds great but how about giving it a try reversing the words, this way the location would be identified before the subject and would also it would appear and sound similar to " Iligan bay " which appears on the map. Using my imagination, that could be turned into a reality with a " Floating Cafe " with a nice sized cabin cruser or larger ship out in the bay with built in Cyber Cafe connecting via WiFi on the shore. Now that could make an interesting pic here on SSC .

good idea, Bob! hope somebody picks up the cue, and do something that offers not just Internet access, but actually cruises along the bay with good food and other amenities. that would be another first for Iligan!:banana:
Dubai has cruises along the Dubai creek, which is a very small body of water, compared to Iligan bay, mind you.

Yes. The newly opened Chowking-Tibanga. :)

nganong wa na man lang jud ka motalikud, ug mikuha sa retrato sa Chowking, Alingatong? :lol:wa pa baya tingali ma post na diri nga pic. nag dali-dali tingali ni ay.:laugh:
BTW, 1 other request to all picture posters, please make it a habit to say where exactly these buildings are, whether by caption, or just a textual description in your post. without other familiar landmarks, beside these new structures, it's impossible to visualize their location. If only for us who are outside Iligan. please?

^^:lol: I'm always in a hurry. I don't know why but until now, I am still not used to taking pictures in public.

Anyways, I'm planning to roam around the city again to take pics. I'll see to it that Chowking Tibanga will be included together with the soon to open Gaisano mall and the new steel-clad Eltanal bldg.

So, watch out for the latest picture updates. :cheers:

careful lang sa cam mo sir A kasi uso ngayon ang snatching.

aabangan ko mga pics mo sir A.

:okay:

^^Thanks for the warning @qwert_guy. :) Though snatching is uncommon in Iligan nowadays, everyone is advised as always to keep his belongings to prevent from becoming a victim of this "crime of opportunity."

good to know that its uncommon in your place. unlike sa pagadian, grabe mahadlok nalang ka mag take ug pics kay matingala nalang ka mawala na sa imo mga kamot ang imo cam. hehehe

^^How sad.:ohno:

I hope the authorities in Pagadian will do something to prevent these petty crimes else would give a bad impression to the city.

nganong wa na man lang jud ka motalikud, ug mikuha sa retrato sa Chowking, Alingatong? :lol:wa pa baya tingali ma post na diri nga pic. nag dali-dali tingali ni ay.:laugh:

I do agree with this request. As the landscape of Iligan continously changes, it is really too hard for us outside Iligan to visualize the city we left behind but would still be going back to.

What time of the day do you take your photos ? I would guess it is early in the morning as I don't see much activity on the streets in many of your pics. When I visited, the roads were crammed with vehicles, primarily the Jeepneys. I really have to admire the skill and patience of those Jeepney Drivers. For someone who had never seen or had the opportunity to ride a jeepney before I visited Iligan, I had a great time making use of them. One evening after enjoying dinner at Big Ben I had the pleasure of experencing a ride on a Calesa

Thanks in advance for taking some pics of the new Chow King, Tibanga as it was in the construction stages when I was there.

I arrived in Iligan with no luggage as it had been " misplaced " by China Air and took 3 days to catch up with me in Iligan. At times I wondered if it would ever show up at all LOL so the next morning my friends took me to Gaisano Dept Store. I knew this store was going to be replaced by the new mall so I was happy to see it in its present form.

Where I live, in the suburbs of New York City, we used to have Department Stores similar to Gaisano, Iligan and most of them have dissapeared in favor of shopping malls. Going to Gaisano, Iligan in its present form brought back a lot of fond memories of how things used to be here when I was growing up. I see many things like that in the pics of Iligan that are posted here and it was one of the reasons I wanted to come there for a visit.

I found the Gaisano Dept. Store in Iligan to appear well staffed and they were all very courteous and polite to me when I was there. Not knowing if I would ever see my luggage again, I bought a bunch of clothes and I was well satisfied with my purchases. They altered the lengths on some pants I bought while I waited which would have been something unusual for where I live.

Actually, one of the first places I did want to go was to buy some " local " clothes so I would not look so " out of town " in appearance and with the lack of any change of clothes at all, I had no other choice !

I look forward to visiting Iligan City again, hopefully some time next year.

Here is a link to a followup video I recently put on Youtube. I gave SSC-Iligan a 40 second plug on my video.

Philippine Travel Journal - Prologue
June 7, 2008

Today I say goodbye to the USA as I travel to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. I will be visiting the cities of Iligan City and Cagayan de Oro. The purpose of this trip is to spend some time with my off-shore developers at NewHelix in Iligan. NewHelix supports WorthPoint in the development and maintenance of our public-facing site along with many other efforts on the back end that our visitors never see.

When I first started at WorthPoint my first responsibility was to establish an Agile development methodology between the requirements providers (product owners), management and our NewHelix developers. The implementation has been received with mixed reviews, some good and others identifying room for improvement. My CTO, Andy Forbes, and I both realized that we could not reach the level we required in our development efforts without some face to face communications. Skype is a great resource but can only facilitate communication to a certain extent. Cultural and language differences, though they are fewer when working with a Philippine company, do not help either. I've found it increasingly difficult to present certain concepts like design, development and management techniques. This trip is for me to present the WorthPoint expectations, identify areas of improvement, encourage the areas they are currently doing well, and then ensure that the information is received correctly on their end. Once this is accomplished then Skype communications should flow much easier. I do plan on making recurring visits though not as long as this first one.

@swooshkidjm, it's nice to have you here in SSC-Iligan. Did you know that some of your Iligan pictures were already posted here even before you joined SSC? They're great images of Iligan and deserved to be shared amongst us here and abroad. I hope to see more of your pics. Thanks. :cheers:

I'm glad to be here in SSC-Iligan. Yep, My Father is in the U.S. and he misses Iligan City that much. He surfed the net bout the city and found out SSC-Iligan. I'ts kinda funny how he got so much information while us, his family here in iligan havn't got that much. So, he told me bout SCC-Iligan, he said it's updated with latest pics of the on going GAISANO MALL, and i got my pics being posted, so i got interested checked it out and was amazed bout my pics being posted...and so....Here I Am. :):lol::) :cheers:

Same story with a friend abroad. It's like he's more informed of what's going on in Iligan than his family here. More and more iliganons abroad feel closer to home through this site. :cheers:

I never did much at all with Pics on the PC before I started websurfing Iligan City a couple of years ago. I could not help but notice all of the video slide shows on youtube and wondered how it was done. I used to do a lot of that kind of thing with analog magnetic tape. Thanks to " Photos By IRBO " I returned home from my visit to Iligan with hundreds of quality digital photos.

After over 12 hours, I finally figured out how to sequence some of them and include captions ect. As these were all still pics and I found out how to add captions there was no need to complicate things for myself by adding audio.

Amoungst many others, I put in a nice plug for " The SSC-Iligan Crew " on the credits at the end of the video / slide show presentation. It is not error free however as this has been my first attempt at doing this. I hope these pics will give you a good idea of how much fun and enjoyment I had on my first visit to Iligan City and all of the hops it took to get there from the opposite side of the world !

A few years ago I never heard of Iligan City and barely knew where the Philippines was. It was quite by accident that while websurfing something came up on my screen with a name and adderss in Iligan City. I did a websearch on it and it looked like an interesting place with certain things reminiescent of when I was growing up, lets just say a " few " decades ago. I found more and more websites with Iligan Info and pics on them and kept websurfing ! I made some genuine friends in Iligan along the way which culminated in my recent visit to Iligan CIty to experience it in person for myself. Many of the people I met and spoke with during my visit were quite impressed with the knowledge I had gained about their city, and some I had to really convince that I did not live there and this was the first time I had been there. If there is as much info and pics about any other place in the world as there is about Iligan I guess anyone could go on a virtual vacation just about anywhere they wanted to without having to leave their PC.

What have and continue to be " key " websites for the latest happenings in Iligan and Mindanao are : Skyscrapercity.com , Mindanao.com , Youtube.com, Iligan.gov.ph, Liveinthephilippines.com and a few Ph commercial news websites.

A few months ago there was a " disturbance " near City Plaza near where I believe a talent show was taking place which resulted in a few people being hospitalized. In less than one hour affter this happened I knew about it and saw some pics right here on SSC-Iligan. The coverage of the calamity in Iligan last November was described in text, photos and video in great detail here on SSC and youtube.

Soon after I began websurfing Iligan City, it was not difficult to comprehend how much pride the regular posters here and elsewhere on the internet have in their city and it was one of the primary factors in giving me the desire to come for a visit. After seeing hundreds of pics of Iligan, during my visit I visited the exact location where many of the pics and videos were taken. Occasionally I had a feeling as if I had been sitting at home half way around the world and dove right into my internet screen and came out on the other end...... Iligan CIty !

This part of the city is commonly known as "Traffic Light". :)

^^ why?

I don't really know the story behind. Maybe because the first set of traffic lights in the city was installed in this junction.

When someone asks for a certain location and if it's within or near the area, then the answer wil be "duol sa traffic light". :)

i think they're reffering to the "Traffic Light pharmacy" if i can remember.. and jan din ang 1st traffic lyt sa iligan

Yeah. I remember. There was this Traffic Light Pharmacy near St. Michael's College. Was it really that popular that the whole area was named after it? Whatever happened to that pharmacy. It's gone now.

So far, Gaisano is the biggest in Iligan. Four levels with 4 cinemas and a multilevel parking connected to the main building. :)

^^ Ngayong malapit na maging operational ang Gmall, kailan kaya simulan ang pangalawa sa southwestern side ng city? Haven't heard from Macky na. Any exclusive interior photo updates?

I know Pat Noel of City Tourism Office has the latest picture of the interior of G-Mall. I hope Pat would share them with us here at SSC-Iligan.

TKC Steel locks in iron ore supply

TKC Steel Corp. said its Iligan-based subsidiary secured a contract with a mining firm for the supply of iron ore in Mindanao.

The firm told the Philippine Stock Exchange that its unit Treasure Steelworks Corp. (TSC) has negotiated with Vinc Vita Mining Corp. for the supply or iron ore, the basic raw material for its blast furnace projects. The 20-year old mining firm will supply TKC Steel with up to 3 million metric tons of the ore each year for the next 5 years.

TKC Steel said the processing of the iron ore will be done through a “beneficiating process” to upgrade its iron ore concentration. The product will then be used for the company’s blast furnace and for possible export.

Last year, the company formed a joint venture with the Rizal-based Kooperatiba ng mga Katutubo Remontado at Dumagat ng Sta, Ines in Rizal. The cooperative owns the land that has several mining tenements with 30 million metric tons of iron reserves.

Under the agreement, TKC Steel would own 70 percent of the joint venture company.

The agreement also stipulated that the cooperative would receive “social benefits provided by TKC Steel” besides the financial rewards due them from the mining operations.

TKC Steel also signed an agreement with Mikro-Tech Inc. and Karanglan Resources and Mining Corp. (KRMC), which will be assigning their rights to the joint venture, including exploration, development, and operation of the claims.

TKC Steel would then buy the iron ore output of the joint venture firm for its blast furnace facility that is set to operate by the last quarter of next year. Iron ore is the primary raw material for the manufacture of steel billets, TSC’s main product. The firm said similar arrangements are applicable to its joint venture with the Rizal-based cooperative.

The company said it may export iron ore in excess of its annual requirement now that it is moving toward locking in its supply source in the country.

Aboitiz Group expands its feed mills
// 05 jun 2008

Animal feed manufacturer the Aboitiz group is expanding its feed mill operations to Iligan City in the Philippines to supply customers in the Visayas and Mindanao areas, according to CEO Jon Ramon M. Aboitiz.


The expansion of their subsidiary Pilmico Foods' feed mill to Lanao del Norte is needed to support growing demand in the south and to reduce pressure on its Tarlac mill, which has been operating at full capacity, according to Mr Abiotiz.

He further added that "Construction of the Iligan milling complex, with a capacity of 10,000 t/month began in June last year and will be finished in two months. It will be operated by our Fil-Am Foods.
In addition the Aboitiz group will also expand Fil-Am Foods' pig farms by building new finishing and breeder facilities in Tarlac. These will be commercially operational by 2009 and 2010, respectively. Pilmico and Fil-Am Foods will spend Peso 900 million (m) for both capacity expansion projects. In addition, the company will build more grain silos this year to give Pilmico the largest flourmill storage capacity in the Philippines."

At the end of March the two Aboitiz subsidiaries income distribution grew 20% to P156 m year on year. Revenues of its flour business rose 28% from a year ago due to higher selling prices. Fil-Am Foods' income grew by 125% due to strong volume sales for its pigs business and favorable prices for both pigs and feeds.

TKC Steel said the processing of the iron ore will be done through a beneficiating process to upgrade its iron ore concentration. The product will then be used for the company’s blast furnace and for possible export.

TKC Steel to export steel billets to ME

Philippine Star - Wednesday, June 11

TKC Steel Corp., through its subsidiary Treasure Steelworks Corp., will export steel billets to the Middle East this year, the company's top executive said.

"With world steel prices at their highest levels, the opportunity presented itself for the company to take advantage of opening new markets for Philippine steel billets and realize substantial gains from the situation," said Anthony Dizon, president of TKC Steel.

Dizon noted it will mark the first time in a long while that Philippine-made steel billets will be exported overseas.

The initial shipment of 10,000 metric tons of five SPPS grade will be delivered to Saudi Arabia by the end of this month.

Dizon said the steel billets will be manufactured in Treasure Steelworks, plant in Iligan City.

He said the deal was a good opportunity for TKC Steel especially since he expects monthly delivery for other Middle Eastern buyers.

Dizon revealed that TKC is currently negotiating with other foreign buyers, with a monthly shipment of about 10,000 to 20,000 metric tons.

Dizon said they are looking to expand their market especially since their company has increased its capacity following the upgrading and modernization program of its two facilities in Xiamen, China, namely Treasure Steelworks and ZZ Stronghold Steel.

TKC Steel is the only steel manufacturing company listed at the Philippine Stock Exchange.

It has controlling equity interest in Treasure Steelworks Corp. which operates the largest billet-making plant in the country. It likewise owns Zhang Zhou Stronghold Steel Works Co. Ltd., a manufacturer of steel pipes in Fujian, China. - Ma. Elisa P. Osorio/Philstar

Kailan ba talaga opening ng McDo sa Gmall?

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

Excerpt to sa Sunstar Cebu article Here (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/ceb/2008/06/11/bus/fastfood.opens.13th.cebu.branch.html)

"BULLISH about Cebu’s growing economy and its receptive market, fastfood giant McDonald’s will open its 13th company-owned branch in Cebu on Friday.

This, as the international fastfood chain looks forward to the completion of the renovation of the outlets in JY Square in Lahug, Cebu City and in South Road as well as the opening of another branch in Iligan City by August."

I know Pat Noel of City Tourism Office has the latest picture of the interior of G-Mall. I hope Pat would share them with us here at SSC-Iligan.

Sir Alingatong maybe you can personally ask Mr. Pat Noel to post the pictures here baka kasi di siya nagbabasa dito. Atat na po kami makita ang loob ng Gaisano.

greg libre mo ako ng burger mcdo at coke float din hehe..

^^Regarding mga opening-opening, naguguluhan na rin ako. Iba-iba na kasi yong narinig kong date from different sources. Kesyo di pa tapos ang McDo kaya na-move yong opening. Me nagsabi pa na sabay ang opening sa Araw ng Iligan on June 16, at meron pang press release sa Sunstar na opening by August.

Siguro mas mabuting mag-antay na lang tayo para hindi tayo ma-disappoint. :) :cheers:

oo, nga but regardless of the opening. We all know that its gonna open and its facade is as clear as the rainbow....Perhaps, August jud na kay ang wall facing the national highway is not yet fully finished...meron pang parts sa cladding na hindi pa tapos especially ung side papuntang public cmetery...

City Hall sends 149 workers to Subic

A total of 149 Iligan workers were sent to subic recently to work at a shipbuilding plant in Olongapo City.

"Those sent were mostly welders, fabricators and erectors," says former Vice-Mayor Pedro Generalao who now heads "Task Force Hanjin"(created by Mayor Lawrence Cruz to get manpower from Iligan for employment at Hanjin Corporation).

"Hiring for more erectors, fabricators, compressor painters and sprayers are still ongoing," says Generalao.

Applicants are advised to visit the Legislative building, 3rd floor, City hall for particulars.

Iligan mayor cites 4 essential human freedoms on Independence Day

Iligan City (June 12) -- "Independence means freedom. It is indeed significant that we celebrate this most important day in the history of our country, right here, at our city's Freedom Park (formerly called public city plaza), a stoic symbol of our freedom and independence," said Mayor Lawrence Ll. Cruz of City of Iligan.

Speaking at the city's celebration of 110th Philippine Independence Day, Cruz lauded the overwhelming participation of the different sectors that joined the civic-military parade. The procession passed through the city's major streets and then converged at the Freedom Park, where a traditional celebration of the event was conducted.

Cruz emphasized the four essential human freedoms that we enjoy as an independent nation.

Firstly, the mayor said, it is the freedom of speech and expression. The second is freedom of religion. Thirdly, is the freedom from want. And the fourth is freedom from fear.

"I would like to dwell briefly on the third, which is freedom from want, because despite the 110 years of Philippine Independence, it is our struggle for freedom from want that has posed the biggest challenge to us Filipinos. Freedom from want means to be free from the state of destitution or poverty," Cruz said.

Every administration, whether national or local, has, for its objective, the alleviation of poverty, which sadly afflicts many Filipinos and many Iliganons. This problem has even been aggravated more recently with the unbearable price increases of fuel, rice and all other commodities.

There are no easy solutions to this problem. But this threat to our freedom from want calls for our common understanding, efforts and sacrifice. We need to knit our muscles, change habits, learn to be self-reliant and apply cost-saving initiatives.

Cruz reiterated President Arroyo's slogan, "Labanan ang Kahirapan." With the help of the Lord almighty, we shall strive hard to overcome this threat to our freedom, to our freedom from want. For there are really no great people in this world, only great challenges which ordinary people like you and me rise to meet, said Cruz.

"Like in the past years, this day is a day of remembrance and thanksgiving. We remember and we express our gratitude to all those whose vision, idealism, courage and heroism, sowed the seeds of freedom with their blood, sweat and tears, that we may today enjoy the fruits of liberty and independence," Cruz concluded. (PIA Iligan)

TOURISM OFFICER MISAYSAY SA KATUYO-AN SA TARTANILYA CARAVAN
06/13/08

Gisaysay ni Ms. Agnes Clerigo-Maingat, City Tourism Officer sa Iligan, nga gipakabahandi gayud sa kagamhanan sa siyudad ang tartanilya isip usa ka kulturanhong kabilin sa atong mga kaliwatan.

Kini, matud pa, ang hinungdan nga gihimo usab nga tradisyon atol sa pagsaulog sa Independence Day matag tuig ang pagpasi-ugda og Tartanilya Caravan nga naglarawan usab sa tema sa kasaulogan pinaagi sa gibutang nga mga dayan-dayan.

Atol sa Civic-Military Parade kagahapong adlawa, miparada usab ang biente(20) ka mga tartanilya nga nagrepresentar sa mga nagkalain-laing departamento sa kagamhanang lokal. Gipaagi sa Grand Triple Day Celebration Management Committee ang maong kalihukan sa usa ka contest.

Migulang Most Symbolic Tartanilya ang iya sa Sangguniang Panlungsod, Most Colorful ang iya sa City Health Office ug Most Decorated ang iya sa City Agriculture Office. Mitunol sa ganti ngadto sa mga napiling mananaug sila si Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz, Vice Mayor Henry Dy, Konsehal Bayani Areola, Konsehal Joe Zalsos, Konsehal Moises Dalisay Jr., Konsehal Simplicio Larrazabal III ug Konsehal Ariel Anghay.

Yeah. I remember. There was this Traffic Light Pharmacy near St. Michael's College. Was it really that popular that the whole area was named after it? Whatever happened to that pharmacy. It's gone now.

The pharmacy was named after the place. That junction (Roxas/Quezon Ave.) was the location of Iligan's first and only traffic light for quite a time, that it became a landmark. Iligan residents who's been there since the 70s will not fail to locate the place if you say "sa traffic light.":lol:

^^So it's the other way around. Thanks for that @langyaw. :)

i got a question, i remember we went to this waterfall, marami syang steps pataas and very steep pababa. is that the Tinago falls? sa 90s pa kasi yun, so forgot ko ang name. but very beautiful po ang falls na yun, Iligan reminds me of Portland (PDX) Oregon. kasi when you drive the interstate (expressway) of PDX dami mo makikita mga falls sa side like the Multnomah Falls.
