malaki talaga ang catarman, kahit nga siguro ang buong UEP pwede na isali sa downtown kasi halos puno na nang kabahayan ang kalsada paunta dun, right catar?
at sana wag nalang gawing city ang catarman gaya ng kalibo sa panay, mas makali pa kesa sa roxas city, pero ayaw lang ng government nila na ma-convert into a city for some good reasons. likewise ang catarman..right catar..?

AFAIK mas progressive ang Roxas City compared sa Kalibo, yung Kalibo lang kasi mayroon mga world-class facilities because it's the primary gateway to Boracay, unlike yung Roxas na ang tourism nila itinakot pa ng mga balita about "Aswangs"...:lol: Roxas is already joining the big cities league together with Cebu, Bacolod, Iloilo, Tacloban and Dumaguete... yung Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas - kalibo nga, nagclose down dahil kulang ng mga taong nagdedeposito doon, kaya lumipat nalang ang BSP sa Roxas City...

Yups UEP is very much contiguous to Downtown Catarman, but UEP by itself is evolving into another commercial center just like Dalakit. If you may notice a big commercial building is being constructed by the University near the Carabao Landmark, so as SANVIC Supermart in Dalakit.

There are both advantages and disadvantages in converting a town into a city. IMO the advantages takes more weight than the disadvantages. I still prefer Catarman being converted into a city. Just take the case of Borongan its LCE can implement many infra projects because of the IRA fund it received from the national government which almost tripled from the amount it received when it was just a town.

Dalawang tulay ang kailangan gawin, isa sa town proper papuntang Rawis at saka yong sa Calumutan, Laoang to Pangpang, Palapag.
so dalawa yung kailangan... and both would connect laoang to the N. Samar at two points, at mapapadali pa yung travel time sa boung probinsya at mas malaki yung probability ng progreso
ito yung pinaka-imortante sa dalawang bridge, it would connect Laoang's Downtown to the road leading to Catarman

you can ride to Allen, N.

at kong sana paki post rin ng simora,laoang-palapag bridge and highway ng makita ng forumers kong gano kalayo at kawalang silbi na proyekto ni late cong. vicencio kong saan marami siyang lupain na nasa palapag at e.j. dulay,laoang n. samar

Mas maliit ang magagasto ng govt kung sa Simora dadaan ang highway. Kinumpyut na ng NEDA yan kung sa Laoang dadaan, maliit lang ang rate of return ng investment ng govt. kaya doon na aprobahan sa Simora maraming municipalities pa ang makikinabang at kahit yung karatig na probinsya ng Eastern Samar sa mas maliit na budget.

Gusto lamang protektahan ng mga Ong ang kanilang mga negosyo sa Laoang kaya lahat gagawin mapunta lang sa Laoang ang prokect.

losing proposition yung ginawa ng NEDA nating bolok, catubig at las navas ay mabybypass pati na rin ang rawis, ang magiging central terminal ay simora,laoang, mas mamatay ang catubig at las navas dahil wala ng papasok na bus papunta doon, unlik laoang via calomotan mas maraming barangay na malalaki at madadaanan ang rawis at pier ng laoang,

kayat mahal ngayon sa northeastern samar ang bilihin kasi wala na ang legaspi-laoang trade

kailangan talga central highway ang dapat, dalawang tulay lang yun

at umaapaw din ang catubig river pag bagyo, mataas nga ang tulay pero sa palayan naman bumabaha dyan ng lampas sa 2 palapag na bahay, risky dun kasi rice field ang simula unlike laoang na islang at pataas sa bundok ang approach at ni minsan di pa bumaha o sa pangpang man

TRAVELIFE
Magazine Contributing Editor Gabby Malvar recommends some awe-inspiring trips
around southern Philippines.

Viewed against a humiliating retreat from
the Japanese Imperial Army, General Douglas MacArthur's "I shall return"
declaration was more a hopeful pledge than a guarantee, a grand promise if
there ever was one. But taken in the magnitude of the context it was made, he
could be forgiven were it not carried out. But in Palo, Leyte, his promise was
indeed fulfilled. On Red Beach, several kilometers south of Tacloban, he landed
with the might of the American Liberation Forces.

The memorial celebrates his return in the
very shallows his boots treaded on and his swagger was retrieved. The bronze replicas of the liberators are
gigantic. Depicted 1.5 times ratio, it perhaps celebrates larger than life
heroics, though statesman Carlos P. Romulo still appears vertically challenged
despite the enhancement. Also interesting is that one of General MacArthur's
staff looks like he was sculpted in the likeness of former president Ferdinand
Marcos.

Staring out to sea, I visualized the coast
lined with warships and tenders, guns pummelling the beach, covering amphibious
carriers ferrying soldiers raring to reclaim what was lost. Situated nearby was
the simple Rock Garden of Peace with accolades immortalized in stone markers.
Dusk is the best time to visit, when the mood turns solemn. The statues are
silhouetted against the Pacific's failing light and their shadows are sombrely
reflected on a quietened pool. Liberty came not without cost; best we reminded
ourselves constantly.
Traverse troubled waters via the San Juanico Bridge

When San Juanico Bridge was completed in
1973, critics of the Marcos administration considered it to be a wasteful white
elephant, given the lavish disbursment for underutilized infrastructure.
Finally attempting the two-kilometre crossing almost 40 years after it was
inaugurated, I noticed that traffic was indeed composed of but a mere handful
of vehicles.

It is an undeniable feat of engineering
nonetheless, regardless of its merits or impractical costs. Connecting the
sister provinces of Leyte and Samar, the bridge curled at several points over
seawater and a functional arch-shaped truss design was incorporated in its
longest section, providing overall an impression of a roller coaster.

The San Juanico strait is in a constant
state of agitation, as currents massed and frothed up the water. Boats bob
frequently between the concrete bases that supported the spans. Lush islets
swarmed by wild birds, are surrounded by fishing pens. These are among the many
picturesque views displayed during the drive along the viaduct.

If one is heading to Samar anyway (as I
was), there is no need for a separate side trip. You will take the bridge.
Marvel at the creativeness of Basey's banig weavers.

Top quality mats are displayed in several
stores around Basey town. But to see them being made, you have to head to a
cave in the lethargic barangay of Basiao, at the southern point of Samar, an
hour and a half's drive from Tacloban. Although just off the main highway, I
had difficulty finding the exact location. There were no signboards or to point
the way. Fortunately, the locals were very helpful.

Under the cool shelter of a low-ceilinged
rocky overhang, the womenfolk come together almost daily to weave mats from
dried, dyed tikog grass. Tikog grass turns brittle and breaks
easily in warm temperatures. For weaving, cooler conditions are therefore
required. The shade under the cave furnishes the perfect setting.

Weaving entails patience and attention to
detail. The weavers deftly intertwine every strand of grass, following
established patterns to craft intricate designs. As the work is repetitive and
tiresome, the weavers in all likelihood gather and interact to break the
monotony. Indeed, I observe them in conversation as they go about their work,
their fingers moving almost instinctively, not missing anything. I found them
accommodating, good-naturedly entertaining all my questions.

Banig may not have the same prestigious ring as T'nalak cloth or Pina.
But make no mistake; neither the craftsmanship nor the quality is second rate.

Feel
the emotional uncertainty of a country at war in Balangiga

Further east of Basey and another hour's
drive is Balangiga, a small, nondescript town with fishing as the primary
livelihood. When I arrived, it appeared as a place where nothing seemed to
happen. Its history however, is anything but uneventful.

Balangiga is the scene of one of the
Philippine-American war's bloodiest encounters. The American fort in the town was attacked by machete-wielding
Filipinos, killing most of the soldiers of Company C of the 9th Infantry.

Dressed in women's clothes, guerrillas
infiltrated the garrison early in the morning and hacked the soldiers with
machetes (bolos) as they were having
breakfast. Over 50 American servicemen were killed. In retaliation, Gen. Jake
Smith ordered his troops to "transform Samar into a howling wilderness." Said
he, "I want no prisoners...the more you kill and burn, the more you please me."

The province was transformed into a living
hell: villages were razed to ground and people were indiscriminately killed.
Yet apart from a court martial and dismissal from the service, Smith received
no other punishment; a slap on the wrist from President Teddy Roosevelt. I was unsure whether the term Balangiga
massacre pertained to the ingenious, vicious garrison assault, the resulting
carnage let loose on the population, or the butchering of justice with the mere
brushing-off of atrocities directed on innocent civilians.

In the centre of the town plaza, an
interesting memorial re-enacts the siege of the barracks; this scene alone
justifies the side trip. The expressions of America troops surprised by a
ferocious force stay frozen in perpetuity. Unlike the Leyte memorial where the
participants are portrayed dignified, those immortalized in Balangiga are
rendered unflatteringly. Palo, Leyte and Balangiga, Samar, on the opposite
shores of San Pedro bay, showcase both states of the love-hate relationship
between Filipinos and Americans.

I wanted to hear the tolling of the church
bells - legend hold that they signalled the attack - but they were appropriated
as war booty and now reside in a military base in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I hoped we
would get them back someday.
Immerse
yourself in Lulugayan Falls' easy waters

Water runs from Lake Kalidongan all the way
to the Calbiga River, a length of approximately 14-kilometres. It follows the
land's ever-changing contour, occasionally creating rapids when encountering
rocky beds; and cascading waterfalls as heights are negotiated.

Of all its manifestations, Luluguyan falls
is the most stirring. It stretches 50 meters across yet hurtles down a
relatively short drop, either as strong gushes or trickles through slots of
varying sizes, into a natural sink overflowing with bluish-green water. It has neither the width of Niagara nor the
power of Victoria but it captures the imagination with its quaintness, evoking
similar emotions when one wanders leisurely around a bonsai garden.

Beautiful
Calbiga is best accessed from Tacloban, capital of the southern Philippine
province of Leyte. A variety of memorials, historical places, natural
attractions, and man-made marvels are reasonable drives away from both Calbiga
and Tacloban.

Barangay
Literon, 15 kilometres off a junction at Calbiga is the staging point of an
effortless 10-minute walk to the waterfalls. Calbiga is a two-hour drive from
Tacloban along the western coast of Samar.

Yups nag open na. . . Nakikita ko naman midyo pinapasok naman sila ng customer. But they are up against strong rivals like sa Mitchz Cafe, Mharina Rossi Coffe shop na tanyag sa masasarao na pizza at yung sa LC Pizza. Dapat ceguro mag diversify sila at hindi pizza lang ang paninda nila kasi kung hindi baka malugi sila. My nagsasabing mas masarap daw ang pizza ng mga naunang Pizza Houses dito sa Catarman. Hindi ko pa natikman ang pizza nila kasi hindi ako mahilig sa pizza.

Located at Veloso Blvd, UEP, this new bakeshop is quite doing well in the business. Its crew are also in proper uniform just like older stores like Park n Go, Mayong's, Sambo and Julie's. After just a few months of operation it will soon open its branches in Laoang, Catubig and downtown Catarman. Who knows, this UEP-based store may also hit it big and may soon branch-out to other provinces.

BIR in EV generates P1.06B in taxes from January to March this year (http://leytesamardaily.net/2012/04/bir-in-ev-generates-p1-06b-in-taxes-from-january-to-march-this-year/)
PALO, Leyte – The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)here in the region has generated P1.06 billion taxes from January to March 2012, slightly exceeding its P1.02 billion target for the first quarter of the year and reversing the 2011 performance.

The collection is also higher by P194.67 million than the performance during the same period in 2011 mainly due to implementation of new Salary Standardization Law translating to more withholding taxes, said Arsenia Gente, chief of the BIR regional office collection division.

Through salary adjustment for government workers, the BIR was able to yield an additional P129. 77 million taxes for the first three months.

Almost half of the total revenue or P480.17 million was collected by the Tacloban City office; P190.87 million by Ormoc City; P137.09 million by Catbalogan City;P87.70 million by Borongan City; P83.17 million by Catarman in Northern Samar, and P81.75 million by Maasin City.

The Borongan office posted the highest percentage excess at 10.39%. All revenue district offices earned tax inflows more than its goal except the field office of Maasin City with a shortfall of 8% than the target.

“With the good collection data in the first quarter, we are more optimistic to hit the P4.4 billion target set for Eastern Visayas,” Gente told Leyte Samar Daily Express.

Also contributing to the higher revenues were increase in remittance from government infrastructure projects, more volume of sand and gravel extractions, and the additional collection from expanded withholding taxes.

“Almost P37 million was generated by BIR from Government Money Payments since more budget was poured out for infrastructure projects unlike last year,” she said.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in the region got an allocation of P3.78 billion this year on top of huge amounts to finance delayed projects. This year’s regular budget is more than double compared to the P1.8 billion funding in 2011.

BIR Regional Director Diosdado Mendoza earlier said that higher DPWH budget has a big impact to their performance considering that Eastern Visayas is a remittance advice dependent region.

During the recent 2012 tax campaign launching, Mendoza announced the P4.4 billion regional collection. (SARWELL Q. MENIANO)

I believe Catarman could still collect more than its present collection it could even hit more than P100M mark, if only the RDO in Catarman is really serious in their job. at present not even half of Catarman establishments alone are issuing official receipt. Bibigyan ka lang nila kung hihingi ka. HIndi automatic Minsan nga napaaway pa ako sa isang pharmacy na ayaw mag issue ng OR dahil nakalimutan humingi ang inutusan namin. Nortehanons are not aware of the imprtance of taxes being collected. Sa palagay ko nga karamihan sa collection na yan sa Catarman District office ay galing pa sa mga government employees. Ang govt employee kasi ay walang kawala pagdating sa tax. Deducted na kaagad ang income tax bago pa matanggap ang sahod.

If may recollection is correct. Dalawa na ang naging head ng Catarman RDO ang nakasuhan at natanggal sa trabaho dahil sa corruption kaya hanggang ngayon ang mindset ng mga taga Norte about taxation ay ganun pa rin hindi kagaya ng Tacloban na halos lahat ng establishments nag iissue ng OR kahit hindi ka humingi.

Rent nila sa office nila sa Camara building ay P80,000.00 per month tapos ganun lang ang collection nila?

Northern Samar Gets 201 Nurses
By RESTITUTO A. CAYUBIT
April 29, 2012, 7:08pm
CATARMAN, Philippines — The Department of Health (DoH) has deployed nurses to this province to enhance the health services rendered to the people especially in the rural areas, the governor reported.

Northern Samar Governor Paul Daza told reporters in an interview at his office here that at present there is an additional of 201 nurses assigned to his province under the program of the DoH dubbed as Registered Nurses for Health Enhancement and Local Services (RN-HEALS).

The additional nurses will have a one-year stay in the province.

The deployment is to augment the number of nurses in the province, he said.

Governor Daza said that these 201 nurses belong to the third batch under the program. Their duty started on March 5, 2012.

The first batch was 207 nurses deployed last February 2011 and their term of employment ended last February 2012.

The second batch only had three nurses who began their assignment in October of 2011.

Daza informed reporters that these nurses are assigned to the hospitals in the province for the first six months and to the Rural Health Units (RHUs) in the 24 municipalities of Northern Samar during the next six months.

He also informed reporters that under this program, each nurse receives P10,000 per month. The DoH shoulders P8,000 of each nurses salary, while the local government units shoulders P2,000.

At present, Northern Samar has eight district hospitals with 15 doctors and 75 nurses. The province also has one provincial hospital located in this capital town of Catarman, with 37 doctors and 137 nurses, he said.

The beautiful City of Borongan
READ 14
source: http://leytesamardaily.net/2012/05/the-beautiful-city-of-borongan/

BORONGAN CITY – Before the sun rises from the horizon of the vast Pacific Ocean, sweepers are already busy cleaning the city thoroughfares, particularly the Baybay Boulevard.

Baybay Boulevard near the seashore is an important place in Borongan. It is where people do their late-afternoon and early-morning physical exercises, hold gatherings like athletic competitions and entertainment shows, and spend time socializing with friends and visitors.

This is why the street sweepers have to clean the place early and daily, to make it clean and presentable to the locals and city visitors. The sweepers are implementing one of the city mayor’s priority projects – the Baysay Borongan project.

This cleanliness and beautification drive, however, is not only implemented in the city proper but also in all the city’s 61 villages.

Mayor Maria Fe Abunda has many other priority projects like the protection and preservation of the environment, according to Jose Ivan Dayan Agda, city administrator.

The mayor has hired forest enforcers to run after illegal loggers and is undertaking now a massive reforestation project, he said.

“We learned that the DENR has a tree planting program but it lacks workforce. So, it hired us to do the planting of trees. We can get the seedlings from them for free, and we hired people to do the planting and caring of the growing trees as well as to guard the forest,” Agda said.

Agda said that early this year, the mayor has released P6 million for the reforestation project in the city’s forest area. We hope we could someday get carbon credits for preserving our forest, he said.

Mining is also prohibited in this city due to clamor of the people, Agda stressed.

Borongan has a population of about 60,000 and a land area of 58,289 hectares, of which 12,619.57 has. (21.65%) is alienable and disposable while 45,669.43 has. (78.35%) is forest land.

Aside from having a vast forest, Borongan is also one of the surfing destinations in Eastern Samar and has been one of the sites of an international race that traversed through its forests, river and seas. The city also has caves, rivers and waterfalls that can attract tourists. Actually, Borongan is an adventure destination.

Agda also informed that the mayor immediately instituted reforms at city hall when she assumed office. Unlike in the past, we all now go to office on time and do our respective tasks well and responsibly, he added.
“Inuna muna ni mayor ang housekeeping sa loob ng city government. At least ngayon malaki na ang ipinagbago,” he said.

According to Agda, the city’s locally generated income has increased to P27 million after Mayor Abunda assumed office,
and this was done without passing any new tax measures. “We just implement what is provided in our tax code,” he said.

Agda said the city government is now implementing several projects, among them the drainage project and road opening
project. Agda said the drainage project is being prioritized after Borongan experienced flooding for the first time in February last year. He added that road openings are necessary for the expansion of the city.

The city administrator identified three investment areas in Borongan – a memorial park, the slaughterhouse and a vacant lot in the city that is near the river. “Many of our people are already burying their dead outside the official cemetery, which is already congested. And our slaughterhouse is already in bad shape,” Agda said.
According to Agda, another problem is that Borongan lacks resources and is very far from Tacloban City, the regional center of commerce and industry, and Cebu City, the premier city of the Visayas.

Abunda, a first-termer mayor and the city’s former vice mayor, said she is waiting for investors to come to her city. She admits, however, that investors shy away from Borongan and the main reasons are unstable power supply and the bad roads.
The road will soon be rehabilitated but our electricity remains a big problem, Abunda said. She disclosed that some businesses based in Tacloban have shown interest to open branches in Borongan, but the poor power supply in Borongan made them change their minds, the mayor bewailed.

But the mayor said she is optimistic the tourism industry in Borongan would prosper. She promised to continue developing Baybay Boulevard, saying she already ordered portable toilets and trash cans for the boulevard. In that area, young people do several activities like surfing and playing football, taekwando and volleyball.

Another plan of the mayor is to develop the tiny island of Monbon, which is near the city’s marine sanctuary. She said she wants cottages built there for people to relax and enjoy the sea or even hold meetings or seminars. The islet is near Ando Island, which also has crystal clear waters and white beaches.

She said that last year they have started their Parada ng Lechon (parade of roasted pig), which aims to attract tourist to come and share with Borongan’s lechon, which she said is one of the best in the country. The city also boasts of local delicacies such as takurog chicharon and salukara.
Abunda disclosed that the Borongan Airport is now undergoing rehabilitation, with funding coming from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). She said her younger brother, TV host Boy Abunda, solicited the amount from CAAP. She added that the congressional office of Rep. Ben Evardone is also providing some amount for the airport project.

Hopefully, after the completion of the airport project, flights between Manila and Borongan will resume and many visitors will come here, she said.

The mayor also thanked the senators who shared their funds with Borongan for the implementation of various projects like the renovation and beautification of the city hall; the rehabilitation of the Borongan public market; the construction of a schoolbuilding and covered court.

She disclosed that Agriculture Sec. Proceso Alcala also released P10 million for small water impounding projects in two barangays of the city. The Department of Budget and Management released P15 million for the Borongan seawall project, she added.

She said Borongan is still a very young city, but she vowed that as its mayor she will do everything for the development of Borongan.

In an en banc session on April 12, 2011, the Supreme Court affirmed with finality the cityhood status of Borongan and the 15 other new cities.

Borongan may not be as progressive today as some other new cities, but the prospects are bright that development will soon come to this rustic and beautiful city that is inhabited by amiable people.

Caglanipao Sur is part of Calbayog City while Caglanipoao Norte is part of San Isidro. The two barangays are bounded by a river (Caglaniupao River) which also serves as the boundary bet Northern Samar and Calbayog City

Is it not proper to rename this thread 'Borongan City, Eastern Samar and Northern Samar Provinces' as in the case of the 'Maasin City, Southern Leyte and Biliran Provinces thread'?

Tama, iregardless kung sobrang dami o konti lang ang forumer , the point is we always state the city first then the province... if the case is otherwise I think there is actually a problem of discrimination here... then kung hindi nga ganun mangyari I think Borongan cityhood is useless... and Phil legislation is useless as well...

but there are some cases like the Antique and Guimras Provinces Thread, the Bohol and Siquijor Provinces Thread, and the Aklan Province and Borácay Island, no city is mentioned, the aklan thread for example, mentions Boracay instead of kalibo because most of the forumers there discuss topics about Boracay, in the case of this thread, since marami pang forumers na from northern samar, mas marami yung nag-didiscus sa Catarman, so it would seem unfair naman kung Borongan City yung gawin sa title, and FYI, yung sa S.

In the case of the 'Antique and Guimaras Thread' and 'Aklan Province and Borácay Island Thread', the reason why no name of a city is mentioned is simple. It is because there are no existing cities in those provinces. In the case of Boracay, the reason is self-explanatory; it even deserves its own thread. Kalibo is not yet a City. No municipality, no matter how big or small, capital or not, is mentioned in any of the titles. While in the case of the Bohol and Siquijor Provinces Thread, I guess that too has to be rectified and the city of Tagbilaran should be in the title. It's not that we're trying to downplay anyone or give more importance to a specific place or city or even compare one from another, but for a simple reason that parallelism and impartiality should be observed. Other cities and all capital cities are mentioned in the titles of the other threads with the exclusion of Borongan and Tagbilaran. If you're argument is that what should be mentioned in the title are only those cities which have a lot of forumers, then it could also be interpreted as saying that the name of the city of Catbalogan in the 'Calbayog and Catbalogan Cities, and Samar Province Thread' should be omitted since there are only a handful of forumers who are based in Catbalogan who are discussing things about Catbalogan City, while most of the discussions in that thread mostly revolve around Calbayog City. Same thing goes with the case of Baybay City in the 'Ormoc and Baybay Cities, and Leyte Province Thread'. If Baybay City which only have a few forumers made it to the title, then I don't see any reason why Borongan should not be recognized. FYI, Borongan is a capital city officially; though small, it deserves due recognition just like any other capital city.

New cities girding for development
By: Amadís Ma. Guerrero
Philippine Daily Inquirer
10:30 pm | Thursday, May 17th, 2012

It was an agonizing seesaw battle with the Supreme Court, famous or notorious for its flip-flopping decisions off and on over a four-year span: A decision handed down, reversed; request for reconsideration, a loss by one vote; request for reconsideration again, and then a gain by one vote.
Finally, last year, 16 towns throughout the country became cities again. And in January this year, they obtained their Internal Revenue Allotments (IRA).
There are three cities in Luzon, seven in the Visayas and six in Mindanao.
These are Lamitan (Basilan), El Salvador (Misamis Oriental), Cabadbaran (Agusan del Norte), Bayugan (Agusan del Sur), Tandag (Surigao del Sur), Mati (Davao Oriental), Tabuk (Kalinga), Batac (Ilocos Norte), Tayabas (Quezon), Guihulngan (Negros Oriental), Bogo, Naga and Carcar (all in Cebu), Borongan (Eastern Samar), Baybay (Leyte) and Catbalogan (Samar).
The mayors of the new cities—most of them anyway—have formed a loose group, as yet unnamed, and they met recently at Peking Garden, Trinoma, to discuss economic development strategies. Convenor and spokesperson of the group is Mayor Carmen Cari of Baybay City.
In an interview, Cari said, “The 16 mayors are much, much better off than before, as far as economic development is concerned. There are many businesses coming in. Based on stories from the mayors of Borongan, Kabadbaran, Naga, Carcar … everybody said that when we became cities, business entities doubled, tripled in the demand for space. The development is very fast.”
She added that when they finally got the IRA, “that was the time we were able to move on with our infrastructure and development projects.”

Borongan graduate among top 10 passers in engineering exam
Wednesday, May 16, 2012

A STUDENT from the Eastern Samar State University (ESSU) in Borongan City was among the top 10 passers of the May 2012 Civil Engineering Board Examination given by the Board of Civil Engineering.

Vincent Tegio, a native of Dolores, Eastern Samar who took a Civil Engineering course at the ESSU Borongan campus, garnered an average rating of 91.50, placing him in the 10th spot.

He was joined by students from De La Salle Manila and Mapua Institute of Technology in 10th place.

Tegio, in an interview, said he didn’t expect to be among the top finishers.

“We had a hard time in answering the questions because from the original 90 items, it was increased to 300 items,” Tegio said, adding he was a first time licensure board exam taker. He took the board exam after he graduated last March 20, 2012.

His next move after getting his license is to look for a job in a design company or a construction firm.

A total of 3,117 civil engineering graduates, both first time examinees and repeaters, took the licensure exam but only 1,195 were able to pass, according to a record released by the Philippine Regulation Commission.

It was also learned that a total of 208 examinees from Eastern Visayas took the licensure examination, with 64 passers and 144 examinees who failed to pass the test.

Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU) in Tacloban City has the most number of examinees with a total of 84; 24 of them passed the licensure examination while 56 failed.

University of Eastern Philippines (UEP)–Catarman has 42 examinees, 11 of whom passed the exam while 31 failed; ESSU–Borongan has 19 examinees, five of whom passed and 14 failed; Naval State University (NSU) in Naval, Biliran has 16 examinees, seven of whom passed the licensure exam while nine failed; Samar State University in Catbalogan City has six examinees who passed the licensure exam while eight failed; EVSU–Ormoc campus has 12 examinees, three had passed while nine failed the exam; NorthWest Samar State University in Calbayog City has nine examinees, two passed while seven failed; Southern Leyte State University and UEP-Laoang campus both has three examinees, all of them failed the exam; EVSU-Tanauan had one but failed in the exam; NSU-Naval had one passer and Asian Development Foundation College-Tacloban with two examinees, one passed while the other one failed. (Leyte Samar Daily Express)

Tañada backs E Samar guv’s decision to defy injunction order
By MEDORA NB QUIRANTE
May 3, 2012

BORONGAN CITY – Eastern Samar Governor Conrado B. Nicart Jr found an ally in Quezon Province’s 4th District Representative Lorenzo “Erin” Tañada III.

“Governor Nicart’s decision, I believe, was for the good of the people of Eastern Samar,” Tañada told members of the local media in a press conference on April 24.

Nicart had earlier announced that he was defying the injunction order from Judge Elvie Lim that prohibited him from using funds appropriated under the 2012 annual budget.

The order came about after BMs Aldwin Aclao, Atty. Byron Suyot, Jojie Montallana, Atty. Enerio Sabulao, Jenny Baldono and Betty Reyes filed a petition for prohibition early February alleging the province’s 2012 budget failed to get the required number of votes for its passage.

“The budget ordinance needs a vote of 50% of the total board members plus one which translates to eight votes. They only got seven votes,” Atty. Enerio Sabulao, one of the six board member petitioners said in a separate press conference.

But the court battle reached the halls of the Capitol during the last few days of March as all of LGU’s financial transactions including the payment of employees’ salaries, wages and other benefits were ordered stopped.

According to a blog admin, the best beach in the province for swimming can be found in Panganoron beach at Panganoron island, because of clear waters and white sand. Ito ang nabalita noon na ibinibinta na isla kay Manny Pacquiao for P18M. Kaya lang may problema pala ang ownership between the Palacios and the few residents kaya di natuloy. This used to be a cattle ranch of the Palacios, owners of Palacio shipping. The island is opposite Sila island where Pink beach is located

There is no need to do that. It would create misunderstandings or disagreements.:ohno::ohno: The best thing is to create a new thread...Borongan City and Eastern Samar Province separate from Northern Samar.

May 26th, 2012, 06:11 PM

I've spoken to a friend who works at the City Hall of Borongan and is close to the city mayor and he told me that representatives of puregold had a meeting with them and is asking the city government's help in looking for a lot because they are planning to put up a store in Borongan. Thing is, even the city hall is also having quite a hard time looking for a lot where a new city hall could be built. Also representatives from Jollibee had already spoken with the city government regarding their intention in putting up a store in the city. Another big investor who is looking for a possible site in Borongan is Robinsons. Aside from those mentioned above, a lot of other investors are looking at Borongan for their expansion. I guess the only question now is when?

And regarding the MDG road expansion, those who will be affected by the road widening are now being paid by the MDG. Representatives of the MDG from the US who are overseeing the implementation of the project had been staying at the Hotel Dona Vicenta for quite some time now. The road will be widened by 10 meters on both sides from the center. So we could expect a 20-meter wide world-class highway by the time the project is completed.

question ko lang, is the owner of Vicencio Pawnshop also the owner of SanVic enterprises? narinig ko yan kasi dati, at ngayong patay na siya, yung mga anak nalang niya yung may-ari ng mga businesses niya...

4Ps Boosts Northern Samar Economy
By RESTITUTO A. CAYUBIT
June 4, 2012, 10:34pm
CATARMAN, Northern Samar — The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is helping the economy of Northern Samar substantially, according to Northern Samar Governor Paul Daza.

Daza told reporters in an interview at his office here that "4Ps is one of the major factors that is improving socioeconomic conditions in the province."

He said that since the government’s poverty-alleviation program was implemented in 2008, millions (of pesos) have been poured into the economy of the province. "The money released to 4Ps beneficiaries is new capital injected into the local economy," Daza said.

The Northern Samar governor said the money intended for 4Ps is spent in the community by the recipients to purchase their necessities especially that of their children in school.

"The money is spent and re-spent, and circulates and trickles down even to the smallest vendors, creating a multiplier effect," he said. "The more new money for the beneficiaries entering the local economy the greater the economic benefit."

DSWD-8 regional director Leticia Diokno said that 4Ps’ family beneficiaries who have children with 0-14 years of age is entitled to R500.00 per month for health and three children enrolled in school are entitled to R300.00 per child per month for 10 months for their education.

Diokno disclosed that in 2008, the number of beneficiaries in Northern Samar was 17,612 households and amount released that year came to R27.221 million.

The number of beneficiaries in the province increased, along with the amount released through the years, she added.
