Dalipe cites importance of BSP building
Vice Mayor Mannix Dalipe, chairman of the Boy Scout of the Philippines (BSP) Zamboanga City Council, yesterday expressed elation over the city’s formal turnover of a newly-constructed building for the BSP regional office in Pasonanca.


The new BSP building worth P2.7 million was formally turned over by Mayor Celso L. Lobregat to the BSP officials led by J. Rizal Pangilinan, BSP secretary general; Noli Paradillo, BSP regional director, and Vice Mayor Dalipe, BSP council chairman.

“We’re very glad that finally the BSP here in the city has a new building that will house the regional office. This would serve as a big help to the BSP movement here in the city,” Dalipe emphasized.

He added that with the new BSP regional office building here it will permanently make Zamboanga City as the regional center of the BSP.

Dalipe added that the new building will also further inspire the BSP officials here to be more active and dynamic in the scouting movement not only here in the city but in the entire region as well.

The BSP here in the city is a well-organized group and has been very active in scouting activities by getting actively involved in regional, national and even internal jamborees.

It also receives strong support and cooperation from the different public and private elementary and secondary schools in the city.

The BSP primordial objective is to provide and equip young students with the necessary qualities like leadership, initiative, resourcefulness, and camaraderie.

With these qualities they are expected to become more productive and responsible citizens in the future. — Jemuel E. Mojica

Zambo is accurately Asia’s Latin City: NCCA commissioner

AN OFFICIAL of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) has expressed support to the Asia’s Latin City branding of Zamboanga, saying it is “very accurate because distinctiveness comes from uniqueness.”

Professor Felipe de Leon, NCCA commissioner for the Arts said the chabacano language, spoken by a majority of the Zamboanguenos, makes the city different, distinct, and a place like no other.

This distinct quality, he said, could be used as basis for promoting Zamboanga as an exceptional and unique city. “In the first place, the Philippines is the only Latin Asian country in the world and of all Latin Asian places in the country what’s most Latin is chabacano, the language in Zamboanga.”

Chabacano is the only language in the country that has a very strong resemblance to Spanish, which traces its roots to Latin, the NCCA official said.

Zamboanga, he said is the center of Hispanic and Latin influence and that the chabacano language makes Zamboanga an exceptional city.

He commended Mayor Celso Lobregat for pushing the Asia’s Latin City branding and at the same time urged the chief executive to solidify and strengthen the campaign to promote Zamboanga not only as a city that is rich in culture and history but as a city of arts.

De Leon, who doubles as a professor of Humanities at the University of the Philippines stressed that while there are packets of Portuguese or Latin influence in other countries in the world, the Philippines has acquired most of the imprints. “Our country has very strong Latin influence, not just Spanish as we were governed by Spain through Mexico from 1565-1869, so we were not directly governed by Spain but by the Vice Roy of Mexico.”

He explained that Mexican influence is a Latin influence because Latin means culture of the Romans that was very alive in Europe in ancient times. However, the Roman culture died after sometime but the same is alive in Spanish culture, Mexican culture, Portuguese or French or Romania.

De Leon was in the city to spearhead the conduct of a seminar workshop for teachers and children in conflict with the law, an activity organized by the NCCA and the United Nations International Children Emergency Fund. (Sheila E. Covarrubias)

The competition will be from November 17 to 29.

Florendo recently won in the National Age Group Championship in Manila. He also won a gold medal iin the 8th ASEAB Age Group Championships in Pattaya, Thailand.

MOA for P5.2-M electrification project forged

THE Department of Energy (DOE) and the Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative (Zamcelco) Friday forged a memorandum of agreement (MOA) paving the way for the electrification of 10 sitios in the city’s east coast.

Mayor Celso Lobregat was a signatory-witness in the MOA signing ceremony held at the DOE Central Office in Manila in view of the provisions of the Local Government Code or Republic Act 7160.

Lobregat has expressed elation that people from far flung areas of the city will soon benefit from the missionary electrification project.

The code mandates the local government units to “have an equitable share in the proceeds derived from the utilization and development of the national wealth within their respective areas.”

Based on the MOA, the DOE through Secretary Angelo Reyes authorizes the Zamcelco the implementation of the missionary electrification project involving the installation of distribution lines in ten sitios in Zamboanga City.

The proposed project sites include sitio Berano (Mariki) in Bungiao; sitio Sapamanok in Curuan; sitio Bagacay in Curuan; Zone VII, riverside interior in Victoria; sitio Lanote in Tolosa; Victoria side, Zone III in Victoria; Torres, Zone III in Victoria; sitio Calibutu in Lamisahan; sitio Bonggal in Latuan and sitio Victoria-Poso in Manicahan.

The implementation of the project is provided in Republic Act 9136 otherwise known as the Electric Power Industry Reform Act pf 2001 that grants financial benefits to the host communities of the energy generation facility and the energy resources.

The 10 sitios have been identified as beneficiaries of the electrification fund accruing from commercial operation of the Western Mindanao Power Corporation (WMPC), an independent power producer based in Sangali in the east coast.

The DOE is the agency that administers the thrust accounts established for the electrification fund accruing from the commercial operation of energy generation facilities and energy resource development projects.

The project will be undertaken by the Zamcelco on the basis of a notice to proceed issued by the DOE on October 25, 2007.

The signatories in the MOA are Energy Secretary Reyes and Zamcelco board president Luciano Arquiza Jr. with Mayor Lobregat, Zamcelco general manager Reinerio Ramos and DOE accounting division chief Nora Tuazon as witnesses.

This wud be gud...last time sa Billiards ngaun naman sa Chess..go Zamboanguenos...viva

Wow! What a parade of photos of ZC mayors. Anyway, what if let's make a thread for famous Zamboanguenos. What do you think?

Pero it seems that Zamboanga was been left behind by other younger cities in Mindanao in terms of development..its because there are some opposing forces for Zamboanga to progress..


I don't want to say more, but we already know the real cause too aside of ZC has been deprived somehow of national budget from the main capital. Anyway, I'm still proud that ZC is still walking tall somehow towards progression. ^^

Hallo! Any pics about Ateneo de Zamboanga campus? I really love Jesuit run schools. They are indeed the best for me compared to other Catholic order-run schools. ^^

hallo Zamboanga^^

Language skills institute to open soon

THE Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Armm) will be inaugurating its Language Skills Institute (LSI) and Zamboanga City Liaison Office (ZCLO) on November 21, 2007.

Tesda-Armm's LSI will offer free English Language Training for job-ready workers through the President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo-Training for Work Scholarship Project (PGMA-TWSP). The LSI is being established to meet the current and emerging demand in the labor market for workplace language proficiency.

The Language Skills Institute in Zamboanga City will mostly cater to the training needs of Armm constituents from Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi.

Soon, a second LSI will be opened at Tesda-Armm's Regional Manpower Development Center in Sultan Kudarat, Shariff Kabunsuan, to attend to the training demands of the other areas in the Region.

The liaison office, on the other hand, will take on the responsibility of managing the scholarship concerns of Tesda-Armm in Zamboanga City. This will increase Tesda-Armm's visibility to its clients and ensure effective public service. (Press release)

APRIL ROSS PEREZ

MISS PHILIPPINES-EARTH 2002


http://www.zamboanga.com/images/Zamboanga_beauty_April_Perez1.jpg

April Ross Perez, Candidate # 22 representing the Western Mindanao Region (Zamboanga City), was crowned Miss Philippines 2002 in a fabulous presentation co-produced by Carousel Productions and ABS-CBN which was telecast on Channel 2 last Sunday, May 12 . She bested 23 other beautiful and intelligent women to become The Philippines' representative to the Miss Earth International Beauty Pageant to be held in October this year.

It was one of the closest "battle of beauty, intelligence, and environmental awareness " contests ever for the prestigious Miss Philippines title. The 11 judges had actually awarded the top two of the five finalists with the same number of points and a second votation for the top two candidates from the 11 judges had to be computed. 6 yeas for Candidate # 22, April Ross Perez vis a vis Candidate # 23, Justine Gabionza with 5 yeas.

Thus … April Ross Perez was declared winner and crowned Miss Philippines. The 20 yrs. old Ateneo de Zamboanga student stands at 5’-8", weighs in at 105 lbs., and measures 34-25-36. Her Asian features and flawless skin made her an audience favorite from start to finish and the judges agreed. She actually garnered a number of special prizes: Miss Close-Up; Miss AVON ; and Miss Texter Choice. She was also voted "Best in Swimsuit". And in line with the pageant’s battle cry for the environment, she spoke out about her concern regarding the environment, "I can help save the environment by campaigning for a cleanliness drive, promoting a rally behind the preservation, and uniting people to fight pollution."

The 24 Miss Philippines candidates come from the National Capital Region and 12 other regions of the Philippines. Telecast nationwide on Channel 2 with a replay worldwide on the Filipino Channel , the program commenced with the introduction of the candidates in their swimsuits videotaped at the Subic Economic Zone . Directed by the legendary Johnny Manahan a.k.a. Mr. M , hosts Pia Guanio and Bobby Yan introduced the 24 candidates as they began with self-introductions and ended their initial 10-second exposure with a one-liner batting for environmental protection.

Only on its second year, the Miss Philippines Beauty Pageant is now known nationally as the "beauty pageant with a cause", said Ramon Monzon , President of Carousel Productions and co-producer of the event.

The pageant is the brainchild of Mr. Monzon and former beauty queen, Lorraine Schuck. The idea came about after the couple received a letter from an anonymous source suggesting that they start a new pageant with an environmental twist. After much deliberations, meetings and concepts , Miss Philippines and Miss Earth was born.

Presenters and major sponsors signed on to support the pageant . This year’s Presenters were UNILEVER Philippines with their products : New Sunsilk Silky Black Shampoo; Close-Up Crystals; New Advanced Creamsilk Conditioner; and Pond’s Skin Whitening Vitamin Fluid and Cream. Major sponsors were Avon Color and Banco Filipino. Talk n Text came in as minor sponsor. Hotel Inter-Continental was the Official Residence.

For the 24 candidates, the "cause" is a reality and its purpose is ecologically and environmentally sound. The battle cries are : Clean our air; Waste segregation ; Save our waters and marine life; Stop forest fires and Promote smoke free zones.

Although the pageant is still essentially a beauty contest with the standard parades of delegates in swimsuits, long gown and talent competition, more weight was given to ecological and environmental intelligence through the interview portion. The question and answer portion for the ten semi-finalists during pageant night was given a different twist with the delegates being shown pictures on ecology and environment. Then, they were asked to interpret the images in their own words and thoughts.

After parading in fabulous gowns created by talented couturiers of the country, the semi-finalists were announced. Making it to the top ten were Jennifer Novo of Central Visayas Region; Katherine Alfaro of NCR; Fiona Lava of NCR ; Gina Ritter of Bicol Region; Aileen Cavas of NCR; May Fortes of NCR; Sheryll Ducusin of Region I ; April Ross Perez of Western Mindanao Region; Justine Gabionza of NCR ; and Honeylet Gascon of Central Luzon Region.

It was then whittled down to the Magic Five and were composed of winner of Miss Philippines 2002 title, April Ross Perez and her court : Justine Gabionza representing Air; Gina Ritter (Water), Sheryll Ducusin (Fire) and Honelyet Gascon to promote Eco-Tourism

The other delegates who participated in Miss Philippines 2002 were : Iris Llamera of Caraga region; Madeleine Wuilquin of Southern Mindanao; Marjorie Akil of NCR ; ; Ma. Victoria Durana of Western Visayas; Emarivy Lampitoc of Southern Tagalog region; Gizelle San Pedro of NCR ; Mary Anne Labunog of Northern Mindanao; Rhea Justo of NCR ; Gretzen Casimiro of NCR ; Ruby Rose Reyes of Eastern Visayas Region; Joyce Dionzon of NCR ; and Florenz Joy Abogado of Cordillera Administrative Region;

The special awardees were also announced during pageant night : Colynn de Guzman of NCR was voted Miss Friendship by her peers ; Miss Joanne Nuestro, also of NCR won for Miss Talent; Best in long gown went to first runner-up, Justine Gabionza and her gown was designed by Roy Martinez and Nick Plaza. She also won the special award of Miss Sunsilk and was voted Miss Photogenic by national and international photographers who attended the Press Presentation held at the Hotel InterContinental a fortnight ago. Miss Pond’s went to Sheryll Ducusin while Miss Creamsilk was awarded to May Fortes.

Before Coronation Night, the 24 candidates planted trees, visited municipalities, put up fashion shows for the environment and attended an environment seminar conducted by activist, Roy Alvarez.

This year’s Miss Philippines Board of Judges were an eclectic mix of movers and shakers from the business , society , expatriate and television community. Chairman of the Board of Judges was Marcel Kerkmeester, Marketing Director-Home Care , Unilever Philippines.

The 10 other members of the panel were composed of : Malou Dy Buncio, GM, AVON Philippines ; Philanthropist, Rosemary "Baby " Arenas ; former Miss Universe 1973 and movie producer, Margie Moran Floirendo; TV Patrol hostess and newscaster, Korina Sanchez; Corazon Abalos, civic worker and wife of the MMDA Chairman, Benjamin Abalos; MASSCOM Managing Director Bert Timbol; Channel 2’s The Buzz host and Private Conversation’s Boy Abunda; Hotel Inter-Continental’s Chad Davis ; Banco Filipino’s Maribel Cotoco; and Hair guru, Ricky Reyes.

Aside from the crown, scepter and trophy , the Miss Philippines "Prize Showcase " include a year’s supply of Unilever products and varied styles from Alberto shoes. She will wear a Casio watch to check her time and will spend gym time at Discovery Spa. She will wear Tretorn shoes, take a computer course at AMA valued at 20,000. pesos and receive a 1-year Scholarship from Manuel L. Quezon University.

She will also fly on a business class round trip ticket to a U.S.A. destination courtesy of Korea Air.

How Southcom got its name?

Several military camps in the country bear the names of generals who are famous for thier roles in the Philippine revolution, like Camp Aguinaldo and Fort del Pilar. However, the camp where SOUTHCOM is located bears the name of business-farmer from Zamboanga City. Camp Navarro is named after Don Basilio V Navarro. In 1950, the government offered cash to Bon Basilio as payment of his pasture farmland that was being eyed as a "training ground for Pilipino soldiers". Instead of accepting payments, Don bailio declined the same and generously offered for free the land and its improvements to the government. With this act, he said that, "It will be my humble contribution to the national defense efforts of the government".

A LETTER FROM ZAMBOANGA - AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED IN THE TIME MAGAZINE, dater May 21, 1945


The first shipment of crude rubber from the Philippines since Pearl Harbor is presumably on the way to the U.S. this week. The amount is small—66,500 Ibs. But the story of how it was prepared, by Mateo Ruiz, 40-year-old chief clerk at Goodyear Rubber Plantations Co.'s 2,500-acre Pathfinder plantation at Kabasalan, on Zamboanga, was one to make businessmen beam.

In 1943, Colonel Wendell W. Fertig, U.S. guerrilla leader in the Philippines, sent for Ruiz. His instructions, direct from General MacArthur: start production of rubber at Pathfinder.

Mateo Ruiz had never been more than a paper-shuffler at Pathfinder, knew almost nothing about the technical side of rubber-growing, curing and production. But an order was an order. He went to work on Dec. 8, 1943, well within hailing distance of roving bands of Japanese troops.

By the time U.S. troops arrived on Zamboanga last March, beaming Mateo Ruiz had his first shipment baled and ready. In a long, businesslike letter that reached Goodyear last week, Ruiz told what he had accomplished, and how.

Coconut Oil. Because most of the machinery at Pathfinder had been wrecked by the Japs, the guerrillas scoured the island until they found a dilapidated 30-h.p. Fairbanks Morse marine motor. Ruiz and helpers took the motor, hooked it to an electric generator. Then they had a power plant — if they could find some motor fuel. They could not — until they tried coconut oil. It worked.

Wrote Ruiz: "We were handicapped by a lack of tools, emery, grease, packing, nuts & bolts. We did not have an ax with which to chop wood for our smokehouse.

I had to order the demolition of a few houses to get nails and lumber used-on new construction. Plenty of lumber was also needed for coffins." Jap Interruption. Eventually Ruiz had Pathfinder running smoothly, and was producing five to seven tons of rubber a month. But not before more trouble.

In April 1944, the guerrillas and Japs fought a lively skirmish within sound of the plant. Next a Jap seaplane bombed and machine-gunned the nearby town of Kabasalan. When a rumor spread that the Japs were planning to attack Pathfinder, everybody took to the hills. With them they carried their priceless marine motor, and their stock of cured rubber.

Later, when it was safe to start opera tions again, the guerrillas were too busy with other matters to send any money. The unpaid Filipinos stopped work.

By last January, the plant was working again, and there was money for the payroll. To make up for lost production, Ruiz worked the plantation on a seven-day week, kept going even when the Kabasalan River went on a rampage, flooded the plantation, ripped out bridges, and filled the smokehouse with muddy water.

Mateo Ruiz's word to Goodyear last week was that Jie expects production to soar, now that Zamboanga has been retaken by MacArthur's troops. It would help considerably, he said, if Goodyear would send him an outboard motor: it was needed to replace the rotted sail on the small boat used to collect food and coconut oil on Sibuguey Bay. Also, Manager Ruiz anxiously hoped that Goodyear officials would understand another item: due to inflation in the Philippines it had been necessary for him to raise his salary—to $150 a month.
