and your point?

i am supposed to elicit a point from u...

well, if you look at it, baka nauubusan agad dito sa davao dahil madami bumibili???...

Bai, regarding Havaianas, this is not the case... Ulahi ug gamay ra ang stocks diha... Based on experience ni... Nahurot na nga model diri... Wa pa sa Davao... Ask my gf's sister... She lives in Davao... Sige niya makasuk-an ang tindera sa Chimes kay ulahi pirme... Nag-una pa ang Malaybalay... Tinuod ni... No sugarcoating added! :-)

speaking of travel, I think Rural Transit is now the largest bus transport company in Mindanao, true?

maybe...not definite...but its presence is widespread -east, west, and south

just want to share this @burotski

The stocks at Chimes are not as updated as the ones at Villa Margarita, where the exclusive distributor holds office, or at Sun Lab. There are times even before the new stocks hit the stands/ shelves/ racks of the other resellers, they are already sold out or released in limited quantities due to a high volume of reservations from buyers or orders from other provinces.

It's also way impossible that the stocks there in Davao are not updated because the company that distributes the brand in Southern Philippines is owned by Ms Marga Montemayor-Nograles who used to be the Philippine Brand Manager of Paul Smith, and Ms Celine Gabriel, a society figure and fashion stylist of fashion magazines in Manila like Preview, etc..

Havaianas by the way based on personal experience is not a high end label overseas. It costs around Php 300-400 in the beaches of Waikiki in Hawaii or its' equivalent in Brasilian reals along the coasts of Copacobana and Ipanema in Rio Janeiro.

Not that I wanted to bash havaianas or those collecting it but this flipflops seems so over rated in the Phils.

We've been using havaianas only for safety reason even before it became a hype as it holds on slippery or water laden floors like bathrooms, and that's where it really belong in my household.

Edit:

Sorry for the OT...:)

Let me paraphrase (sorry onlooker I might be mistaken but I will try... hehehe). OIC means: so is that all your point to the question raised (Fact or Opinion? Basis?).... You did not even answer squarely to the question....:bash:
was it correct to say it was my opinion. read back. they are personal acquaintances, career related friends. i would know if they have personal knowledge. does it make sense? i said i knew the peoples. bash yourself

Make sure that the figures is well interpreted that everyone can understand what the stats really mean.....

Di naman lahat dito magaling sa numbers kaya kailangan talagang ma explain ng mahusay ang interpretation sa datas....... and when I say lahat ibig sabihin kasali na ang mga lurkers.

Basin Southern Mindanao, Bai... The sole distributor in NW Mindanao are the Tamparong Sisters (owner of Spruce)... It is not a high-end brand, I agree... Pero, medyo expensive for a pair of slippers... I remember an article about a year ago... They were amazed of how fast the new Havaianas collection got sold out in one of their provincial distributors... A couple of days lang... Sa Manila, pwede daw... But not in the provinces... They were refering to the NW Mindanao area, by the way... :-)

i went to nazareno church earlier this 7pm. Msgr. Monsanto celebrated the mass. before he ended the mass, he said that in a few years time the people with cars cannot park right outside nazareno church anymore. tinnex is planning on widening the road. monsanto also said that there will be a "building" right across nazareno church because you-know-who will put up a establishment there. furthermore, he also said that there is a plan to make the cm recto a commercial district. i wasnt able to comprehend all that he said but thats what he said.

Yup, nakahibalo pud ko ani kay naa pud ko ato nga mass. It was 7pm mass pero sa announcement nako nakaabot kay ang sunod mass man amo gihulatan..hehe. He said clearly nga ang you-know-who magtukod sa atbang" og kadtong wala nay maparkingan kay naa daw widening pagahimoon in the future. Nagpahiwatig pud siya nga naay posilbilidad ibaligya og itransfer ang Nazareno Church kay out-of-place na kuno ang simbahan with the emerging big buildings around it. Naa na gani kuno nagpasa og reklamo kay ngano daw ganegotiatiate siya nga ibaligya ang simbahan. That's what Msgr. Monsanto dili gikan nako.

looking at its website, i found 5 havaianas retailers in cdo and 9 in davao ctiy + 1 at pearl farm

looking at its website, i found 5 havaianas retailers in cdo and 9 in davao ctiy + 1 at pearl farm

15 retailers in all sa distribution area of the Tamparong sisters... IMHO, All Flip-Flops pinaka-complete sa Davao... Diri sa CdO, ang Spruce... Layo ra ang All Flip Flops sa SM City CdO... IMHO, Spruce has the most extensive line of Havaianas footwear in Vismin... Hands down! You'll agree with me if you've visited Spruce... :-)

actually, bai, mr. yanzon is the owner of rural transit. hes from bacolod. didto gyud daw ilang main. cdeo was chosen as the center point because cdeo is their center base in mindanao. accessible man gyud sya. you can see this because cdeo is where all rural transit buses meet in mindanao.

i went to licoan this afternoon. gaisano mall is expanding there. in fact, their construction has began. the two guards there said that the site below is owned by gaisano. this is connected to the existing gaisano mall. they added that if i wanted more info, i should go to jejors construction in osmena because jejors is the contractor. unfortunately, the two guards there didnt allow me to get inside. here are the photos that i got.

by the way, the white minivan is owned by gaisano. he was there when i was there.

i was giving you a clue whats the substance of your "gateway of mindanao" did you get my point? what were you talikng about. whats with that flight frequency showing for? did it show number of flights jumped double, triple from what it used to have? i know some airline mounting new services went on and off. nothing new. if at the end of the day your pass traffic share is still 20%, that wont still change the equation. and does it mean opening ladp will transform the travel frequency of people and turn the airport into the something you would like to project

If you couldn't get the substance why Cagayan de Oro has been tagged as the gateway of Mindanao due to its domestic shipping industry, then have your frontal lobes be checked by a neurologist. And what's with the flight frequency? You asked for it, geezzz.... Did it show some double? When I was still a kid, early 1990s when my mom had to travel for her job, I could still remember that there were only two flights weekly flying Manila-CdeO-Manila, every wednesday and sunday. When I was in high school, year 2000, there were only three flights daily for PAL, two flights for Cebu Pac, and one flight for Air Phils for MNL-CDO-MNL. And Asian Spirit was the only carrier for CDO-CEBU-CDO. So to consider the trend, it has been going up... MORE THAN DOUBLE. :) Does LADP will transform the travel frequency of people and turn the airport into something I would like to project? Well... I think that the common denominator of putting up a new airport just like that of Iloilo and BCD is due to the fact that the demand is greater..the traffic is getting busier... that's why it has to expand. Millions, or perhaps billions are being poured for this project so I don't think that the government, including some private firms would take the risk if there's no sense of putting up a new airport. It took almost a decade to conduct a study and it has been decided to finally implement this project because it's indeed feasible, and practical to do so... KATKAT CAGAYAN! :) :) :)

for your guidance here it is






may i know if its officially working now. i read this sometime and it was only a paper published by "pids". there are other philippines cities with the same study


Wwhhaattt??? For my guidance??? The more that I am misguided. How could you relate the demographic data of this study to your argument comparing the population of Cagayan de Oro and Davao City. Davao was not even mentioned there... only Metro Manila. :) And with regards to your query whether this plan has been materialized, that's exactly the primary reason why it was discussed by local enthusiasts here, to follow up its progress. :)

you sounded like cdo is the only doorway to mindanao. your city port doesn even have the figures of passengter traffic ozamis port has. whats wrong with asking. if you cant handle how to get on with it rationally, you are the one to seek expert opinion.

at first, i thought it was asphalt. when i touched it, it pressed back. thats when i realized that it was rubber.

is that Trinidad Building (behind it)? san mo nakuha ang info @Dark? so bale Corrales and Yacapin streets eto located.

you talk like theres only macabalan port in existence in domestic shipping. is davao, zamboanga, general santos, using macabalan port? they all have regular freight connections to manila visayas. what made you say international shipping just started, were those pineapple of bukidnon shopped out domestically? and yes, davao port earned P188mil with no big ports sharing in for the toatal under its district. whats the income of macabalan port btw

How much is the volume of domestic shipping of these ports compared to CdeO's Oroport? Figures please... What made me say that the international shipping has just started? Sir, if you're talking about those pineapples of Del Monte, that company has their own EXCLUSIVE seaport in their cannery in Bugo, Cagayan de Oro. How much does our customs earn? A headline caught my attention last March 17, 2008 (check at www.yehey.com/news/article.aspx?id=205696) saying " CUSTOMS NAMES TOP THREE EARNERS". And these are the ff: First: NAIA with P394 million surplus, Second: Port of Cagayan de Oro with P232 million, Third: Port of Cebu with P122 million over target. How's our international shipping? According to Wikipedia, Cagayan de Oro seaport is a modern international seaport. It has an anchorage depth of 18 meters and is around 400 meters from the shoreline. Cagayan de Oro has just authorized two cargo handling operators. With the recent completion of the 250 million peso rehabilitation project,the Cagayan de Oro seaport is now the largest international and domestic seaport in Mindanao. General Milling and Del Monte Philippines also operates their own port facilities within Cagayan de Oro. The US$85 Million Mindanao Container Terminal located in Tagoloan, 17 kilometers away from Cagayan de Oro serves the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate. :)

nice update @darky. kelan ang re-opening ng Pelaez sports center?

was you cousin on a wholesale purchase of collectors items? might make me crazy having her for a cousin too. i saw photos of mall stores displaying and selling those items in davao thread. but to buy some little items only, that is incomparable then people of cdo throwing money in the casinos of davao city. or made city a stop shop for their holiday trip to samal island and other resorts in the city.

Oh my god! I just commited a mortal sin in debating. I made a point that is not factual. My cousin, my cousin, you don't even know my cousin. Right? My apology. But the thing is, how could she go gaga with a simple tsinelas in spruce when these items are found in Davao City? Why my cousin? Why???? :)

That Kinilaw and Lechon Kawali makes my mouth....shezz u know!

were you addressing the wrong quote? i dont get the connceetions of your answere to the quoted post. youre throwing question to yourself and yourself giving different answers to it. in my other post it was asked how much was earned by macabalan port? and i could see figures in this post. i asked bec you sounded like its the income of port of cdo thats obviously cofused as macabalan port. and knowing port of cdo collection is a combined collection ofall units of all other government port under cdo district

haha davao peeps care so much about our city, they will go to great lengths just to nelittle our achievements, IMO whats up? once again its insecurity! lol. padayun ta mga amigo! :D

read the trails of post here. govinda cited reasons of demand it could not last long on store display

guess they love to kepp track on the progress of high rise building constructions:lol:
Whats a classy metro to you?

A classy metro for me has atleast one Starbucks. Wow! Bacolod will have its own! A medium sized city at that??? :) And most of all, it must have a mall that could provide everything... Something that when I get out, I see strips of class A restaurants, bars, and coffee shops (the ambience of Ayala Oasis, Limketkai's Rosario Strip, Glorietta and Greenbelt). :)

gateway can be anyone of regional cities. but saying it a gateway of mindanao, should also have international connections for travellers. and theres only davao having that

International connection for travellers? Proof? :)

haha davao peeps care so much about our city, they will go to great lengths just to nelittle our achievements, IMO whats up? once again its insecurity! lol. padayun ta mga amigo! :D
insecurity or annoyed by the posts? i could not let go posts that made me to appear like stupid.

International connection for travellers? Proof? :)
because cdo has no direct flight from oiutside of philippines. nothing. do you know any. why do you need to ask proof

you mean those rural towns in bukidnon and you province are now metros?

Do not underestimate the power of Bukidnon because its total land area could eat you out. And it has taken a large contribution the nation's economy being the fruit and vegetable basket in the Philippines and the Home of Del Monte's Sweet Pineapples. :)

i said it literally. i was curios about physical urban features of what still known as rural towns.

i dont know about shops but i know high end brands have shops in davao malls. so i guess they dont see them shopping in cdo with the wide choices in davao. does it mean davao travellers drive their cars than cdoers going down to davao?

I could say that CdeO has lots of brands to offer. I feel more excited shopping in Limketkai than in Queens Mall in New York. :)

metro cebe is not all of cebu city. cebu city is part of metro cebu area. does it make sense?

yes, I hate paragraphs...damn paragraphs!
:lol:

Then copyread it using your acrobatic units. And oh! In case you need lenses, a halo vision is bad...

well, if you look at it, baka nauubusan agad dito sa davao dahil madami bumibili???...i remember before when i was still hooked with toy collection, we go as far as pampanga or baguio, yes even bacolod/iloilo to source toys out...that is before we go to eBay as our last resort...

pero i admit, siguro the items for sale are almost the same between cdo and davao...meron lang siguro dito boutiques na wala sa cdo. but di siguro malayo.



i wouldn't call Metro Manila a classy metro...in fact, baka mas magustuhan ko pa ang cdo compared to the degenerating capital of the philippines. :) ano p kaya ang davao.
its good though that people like Atienza, SB and BF are rebuilding their respective cities...BF being the architect of MM's resurgence.
pero opinion k lang yan. :)



michael, as far as I know. the 1st ayala subdivision in Mindanao is in Davao, the Insular Village...built as early as the 60s or 70s ata...but I could be wrong.

peace pre!

Baka naubusan?? Baka nga... Baka.... Haka2x nalang muna tayo. :) And you don't find metro manila a classy metro? Well, that's relative bro. It's your taste, let it be. Basta everytime I'm in Makati, I see class. :) If there are more shops in Davao than in CdeO, expected. Metro kayo dba? For a medium sized city like CdeO, I feel very fortunate already because one mall still offers MOST if not ALL of them. :) Worst comes to worst, Cebu is very accessible to satisfy my needs and wants. :)

for all i knew only manila davao zambonga and maybe puerto princesa anre the only known everywhere.

This is the perfect example of the word "CLAIM." HAPPY FIESTA!:lol::cheers:

so you found dent. for all i knew means my personal knowledge of the number of people i knew from everywhere who can name places in the philippines

Tinalo mo pa ang NSO, lahat ng authorized agencies, at lahat ng survey companies. :lol:

This is the perfect example of the word "CLAIM." HAPPY FIESTA!:lol::cheers:
why do you know any more cities in mindanao popular as tourist destination
thats nothing like claims of building underconsruction that never existed

are you surpised? what are talking about. your brain so scattered. theres no use talking to you. do you have problem of understanding

There's no use talking to me? Hah, thank you. You are so substantial.... :)

what do you mean

and who gave your flight frequency? i gave total of traffic volume to give you an ides but you gave back flight frequency. why do you surprise yourself

Simply because you're very surprising. I didn't know that you could be one of the BEST AND THE MOST CONVINCING DEBATERS in this forum. Like you don't assume, you don't play with your own concoctions, and that you ALWAYS hold on to facts and figures... no opinions or whatsoever. :) Whew! Bravo!:lol:

Makati un, and only certain parts...Makati central business district is classy, GBC in Taguig is classy, probably the classiest in the Philippines...Ortigas CBD is classy too...a huge chunk of QC is classy too, as well as Greenbelt area (Promenade) in San Juan..but as a whole, MM IMO is not. If you've lived in MM, medyo mahirap sabihin na as a whole better ito just because biggest Metro sya in the Philippines.
but these areas are not the entire Metro Manila.

well, to each his own.

with all your claims of bloated merits, distortions to appear like facts to mislead and decieve, you annoy people. always

A classy metro for me has atleast one Starbucks. Wow! Bacolod will have its own! A medium sized city at that??? :) And most of all, it must have a mall that could provide everything... Something that when I get out, I see strips of class A restaurants, bars, and coffee shops (the ambience of Ayala Oasis, Limketkai's Rosario Strip, Glorietta and Greenbelt). :)

ow...now I think I understand you a little better...
classy to you == material things ba? just asking
well, as I said, to each his own.

were you addressing the wrong quote? i dont get the connceetions of your answere to the quoted post. youre throwing question to yourself and yourself giving different answers to it. in my other post it was asked how much was earned by macabalan port? and i could see figures in this post. i asked bec you sounded like its the income of port of cdo thats obviously cofused as macabalan port. and knowing port of cdo collection is a combined collection ofall units of all other government port under cdo district

What???? This is the strongest argument I ever received in my entire life. So ATTACKING. :) Anyway, how's your latest 180 million custom collections with CdeO's 200 million +++. :) You have stated your figures, I have mine too. :) "And knowing port of cdo collection is a combined collection of all other GOVERNMENT port under CdO district." There's only one government port in CDO dude. :) It's Oro Port. :) Meron pa bang iba??? Saan??? Baka dun, pwede akong sumakay patungong Davao. :) May be you meant MCT in which the majority of its share is owned by International Container Terminal Services and Del Monte owned by Del Monte Philippines. That makes them private ports... :)

because cdo has no direct flight from oiutside of philippines. nothing. do you know any. why do you need to ask proof

What do you exactly mean by a connection to international passengers? I would like to dig deeper on your own paradigm on this. It seems that you're refering to international flights. I totally agree. There's none...

so youre saying its all of the income of cdo macabalan. you took all the credits of subports for macabalan.

Davao sasa - P188
less small ports of the region

cdo macabaln - P200

less mindanao port
less iligan subport
less ozamis subport
less subport in surigao sur

What do you exactly mean by a connection to international passengers? I would like to dig deeper on your own paradigm on this. It seems that you're refering to international flights. I totally agree. There's none...
are you claiming there one international flight service to and from cdo airport. whatnis it

who said connection to international passengers.






bon jovis mutating. craziness

really? where are you now by the way

Is this a valid question? What's your point? Anyway, if you're keen enough, I just stated my exact location as of the status quo in my previous posts. :)

350 million ang ato, Bai... :-)

i did not asked for it. neways, lots of brands, does it mean lots of highend brands?

No. But I don't buy cheap brands... :)

Bai, regarding Havaianas, this is not the case... Ulahi ug gamay ra ang stocks diha... Based on experience ni... Nahurot na nga model diri... Wa pa sa Davao... Ask my gf's sister... She lives in Davao... Sige niya makasuk-an ang tindera sa Chimes kay ulahi pirme... Nag-una pa ang Malaybalay... Tinuod ni... No sugarcoating added! :-)

ah ganun ba?...sa experience ko ksi, meron sa GMall and SM ang Havaianas...and also sa, as you said sa, chimes...jan pala sa CdO, anong outlets sold ang Havaianas?

Not that I wanted to bash havaianas or those collecting it but this flipflops seems so over rated in the Phils.

We've been using havaianas only for safety reason even before it became a hype as it holds on slippery or water laden floors like bathrooms, and that's where it really belong in my household.

Edit:

Sorry for the OT...:)

well this is correct Yre, but what can we do? Havaianas, Ipanema and the like added something more to their practical use...:) they reinvented themselves and became icons in fashion world. :) at least, sa mga places w/ nice harm weather.

Yes, very sensible. Tsk tsk. :) If Metro Cebu has just registered 798, 809 then Cebu City's population should be smaller. Nonetheless, the entire metro cebu population has not qualified to your own qualification of a METRO which is one million plus.... :)

Makati un, and only certain parts...Makati central business district is classy, GBC in Taguig is classy, probably the classiest in the Philippines...Ortigas CBD is classy too...a huge chunk of QC is classy too, as well as Greenbelt area (Promenade) in San Juan..but as a whole, MM IMO is not.

Yeah... saan pa nga ba? Where else can you find class? Mostly, I repeat, mostly you can find them in material things. And everything in this world is material... :)

they are in, but they are not MM. I think that's quite easy to understand. a part is not the whole.
when you said, classy metro, i thought you meant MM as a whole, not classy in parts only. oh well..

Well that's what you thought. But you can never detach a part from the whole. Same as you can never separate Bankerohan from Metro Davao... :)

class is not only based on material things...i dont know if youre serious or not sa statement mo, or i guess iba lang yung perception mo sa buhay.

‘Differently-abled’ to be given livelihood projects (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/business/%E2%80%98differently-abled%E2%80%99-be-given-livelihood-projects)


By Cong B. Corrales

A NON-government organization has extended micro-finance assistance to children with disability in five urban barangays in Cagayan de Oro City.

The five urban barangays, Consolacion, Camaman-an, Lapasan, Macabalan and Puntod, are among the pilot areas for the Early Detection, Prevention, and Intervention of Disability (EDPID) project of the Albert Schweitzer Familienwerk Foundation Philippines, Inc. (ASFFPI), a non-government organization based in Patag.


Martiniana Mercado, executive director of ASFFPI, told media in last Thursday’s Philippine Information Agency (PIA) "Talakayan Sa PIA" that the project aims to empower urban poor families with children with disability.

The main objective of the project is to provide livelihood projects to children with disability so they can be productive and to build up their self esteem.

"Kinahanglan nga dili nila tagu-an ilang mga anak nga may disability kay kung mangatigulang na silang mga ginikanan kinsa may muasikaso ani nila," Mercado said. (It’s important that parents do not hide children with disability. If they get old, who will look after their children?)

The project started in March this year and ASFFPI has identified 202 families with children with disability in the pilot barangays it has surveyed.

Mercado said they have trained beneficiaries to identify certain types of disability.

In partnership with ASSFFPI is the Oro Savings and Sharing Cooperative (OSSC), which handles the micro-financing aspect of the project.

Alonzo Satur, micro finance officer, said they purposely made the financial assistance as loans to further empower the 150 beneficiaries.

"Kung grant man gud, walay sense of obligation. Murag mabutang lang og dole-out gihapon," Satur said.

So far the repayment of the loans, Satur said, is at 97 percent with some beneficiaries applying for new loans. The highest release the OSSC has extended to one beneficiary is P3,500.

Of the five pilot barangays, Macabalan leads the pack with P98,000 in loans already released, running second is Puntod with P96,000, and third is Camaman-an with P60,000.

Mercado said she is happy with the success of the project and she is planning to expand the project to other barangays.

Mercado identified the expansion barangays as Carmen, Patag, Balulang, Kauswagan, Bayabas, Nazareth, Tablon, and Baloy.

"We have already passed our project proposal, for the expansion, to Representatives Rolando Uy and Rufus Rodriguez," said Mercado.

No. But I don't buy cheap brands... :)

Yeah... saan pa nga ba? Where else can you find class? Mostly, I repeat, mostly you can find them in material things. And everything in this world is material... :)

Jaraula shuts down Bhagdag shops (http://themindanaocurrent.blogspot.com/2008/11/jaraula-shuts-down-bhagdag-shops-for.html)


City Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula recently ordered the immediate closure of 11 business establishments operating as retailers of CD, DVD and cellphone accessories in line with the City Government’s intensified drive against erring business establishments operating without business permits. These shops are popularly referred to as Bhagdad in CdeO.

Most of the business establishments subjected to Mayor Jaraula’s immediate closure order under Executive Order No. 2008 CGJ 65 are those sprouting around Divisoria area, particularly along Tirso-Neri Streets, Tiano-Chavez Streets and Abejuela Street, and along C.M. Recto Avenue.

Four of the business establishments that sell CD, DVD and cellphone accessories are plying their trade inside Goking Building located at Tirso-Neri-Abejuela Streets. They are operated by retailers Rusty Dimaporo, Yasmin Bonsalagan, Salam A. Gondarangin and Muhamad Hadji Ali.

Three establishments run by Antonio Butalid, Rene Legaspi and AZS Annie Store, all located along C.M. Recto Avenue, were also ordered by Mayor Jaraula to stop their operations.

Other establishments subjected to the Mayor’s shut down order are owned or operated by Solaica Nakambao, Alaika Batalo, Amor and Namira Didaagon, who are operating along the streets of Neri, Tiano-Chavez and Tiano-Abejuela.

Mayor Jaraula issued the closure order against the 11 establishments after having been found to have violated pertinent provisions of Ordinance No. 3057 or the Cagayan de Oro Tax Code of 1991 by operating without business permits.

The City Chief Executive also based his issuance of the closure order upon the recommendation of City Treasurer Lino D. Daral whose field personnel are regularly doing on-the-spot inspection to the different establishments in the city to check compliance on tax laws and regulations.

Police Senior Superintendent Isagani F. Genabe Jr, City Police Director, is expected to serve the order to the retailers. (CIO)

Pueblo treat brokers/agents (http://themindanaocurrent.blogspot.com/2008/11/pueblo-treat-brokersagents.html)


Pueblo de Oro’s performing brokers and agents for the third quarter of 2008 were treated to a “spooktacular” Halloween celebration during the PODC 3rd Quarter 2008 Broker’s Awarding.

Held on Halloween night on October 31, 2008, the event honored those brokers and agents who had the highest production in the selling of the different residential and commercial products in the Pueblo de Oro Township from July to September this year. In honor keeping with the occasion’s theme, agents came in full Halloween costume.

CLM Realty, which was the Top Broker in the second quarter, maintained their status as the Top Broker for third quarter. JCA Realty and D&G Realty bagged the second and third places, respectively, in the Top Broker category. Meanwhile, the Top Five Agents were Marites Cruz of AGT Realty (1st), Margie Moradas of CLM Realty (2nd), Franco Catajoy of D&G Realty (3rd), Susan Golez of JCA Realty (4th), and Babie Guerrero of RCG Realty (5th). New agents who closed their first sales during the third quarter were also given recognition.

The party was held at House 1000, a model house at the Pueblo Golf Estates. The Golf Estates is Pueblo de Oro’s premiere residential subdivision, and the only one in the city to feature scenic views of the Pueblo Golf’s world-class championship course designed by Robert Trent Jones II.

I was looking if there was any mention here of the Annual Communication (ANCOM) of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Philippines which will be held in Cagayan de Oro on April 2009.

Our Lodge already received an invitation, so i thought naa nay post dire.

Anyway, RW Lim Lo Suy ( i hope i got that right), the owner of Toyota CDO is set to be installed as the Grandmaster of Philippine Masons.

Wow Congrats for him :cheers:

I think that convention was already tackled here. Btw, here's an update:

http://www.ancom2009.com/images/ancomlogo.jpg

The 93rd AnCom Logo evolves from the very basics or fundamentals of Masonry. It consist of the phrase "Meet, Act and Part but with the Masonic Symbols such as the Level, the Plumb and the Square prominently taking the place of some letters. Such eccentric meaning is known ony to the "initiate", and is supposed to symbolized the brethren's aspirations for AnCom 2009. The host lodges under Masonic Districts No. RX-A & RX-B has been known for its reputation of setting new standards in the hosting of such an auspicious event.

This year AnCom Committee's goal is "TO HOST THE BEST EVER ANCOM HELD IN CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY WHICH WILL RESULT TO THE TOTAL SATISFACTION OF ALL PARTICIPATING DELEGATES." And in order to achieve this, the brethren's resolve to be more united in number and strength will serve as its Masonic implement to weather all the challenges (etc. inflation, gas hike, rice shortage, political crisis et. al.) that may traverse along its path. the image of the "wild river rafters" remarkably represents the optimism of the brethren to attain its goal. The "wild river" characterizes the challenges confronted by the host lodges, and the coordinated move or "paddling" of the boat towards a common direction alludes to HARMONY pervading among the brethren, ever consistent with the Grand Master's theme for this Masonic Year - Harmony is the Strength and Beauty of Masonry.

Nice :banana:

That property is owned by the Tamparong Family...

Seasonal lang ba ang mga Dolphins na yan? Sana isali nila yan sa mga travel packages, Dolphin Watching... :cheers:

yes seasonal lang...I think their main route is between Negros and Cebu (Tañon Strait) then to Panguil Bay then to Mindanao Sea (near Camiguin) to Bohol Sea before returning to Tañon Strait).

Where there are dolphins, sharks aren't far behind and they're plenty in Camiguin waters

metro cebe is not all of cebu city. cebu city is part of metro cebu area. does it make sense?

Yes, very sensible. Tsk tsk. :) If Metro Cebu has just registered 798, 809 then Cebu City's population should be smaller. Nonetheless, the entire metro cebu population has not qualified to your own qualification of a METRO which is one million plus.... :)[/QUOTE]


its not the city alone but when we say Metro Cebu where the other cities of talisay, lapulapu and mandaue are included kasi nga one urban area sila..
its not like a definition ng Metro Cdeo then para maingon lang na metro ipugos ug apil mga towns nga dili urban

Metro Cebu man gud kay contiguous ang urbanity between the Cities of Cebu, lapulapu and mandaue (im not sure with talisay) mao Metro Cebu refers to the Metropolitan area/group of the ff cities

Grind the beans...
:cheers::cheers::cheers:

^ FYI lang mga bai, that figure above is only for Cebu City, not included pa diha ang ubang cities nga kabahin sa metro Cebu. :)

mao gani..wala man gud kagets ang uban dire nga when we are talking about metro cebu, dili lang cebu city ang hisgotan apan ang metro area which is composed of the cities of cebu, lapulapu, mandaue ug (talisay?)

^ yes, apil ang Talisay.

bai,

That's the Kauswagan side.
Kanang spot on the river bank between the bridge and Pagatpat trees is sometimes the spot where they (kayakdomain.com) practice their "Flatwater" eskimo rolling, i.e. when the water is clear. Otherwise, they go to Taguanao Bridge.

I saw it last Feb this year. The water quality is still ok for swimming compared to the water at Penrith Whitewater Park (Sydney 2000 Olympics whitewater venue).
But the Cagayan river now is not as clean during my childhood days.
Use to be called "hulaw-hulaw" because no one lives in the Consolacion riverbank.
Karon daghan na kaayo namuyo.
They should get rid of the squatters along the riverbanks.


cheers,

Gaisano City was constructed in the late 1980s when the shoebox design was popular and the Mall although constructed later in the 1990s was an extension and the design (exterior) just merely followed that of the City. Nagtipid si Mr. Gaisano to have a new exterior design sa Mall because he would also need to renovate the City.

Ah, OK! Pare-pareha ra ang All Flip-Flops diha ug diri... Pero, mas complete pa gihapon ang Spruce... Paspas lang usahay mahurot ang stocks... During the 2 day sale last month, mas taas pa ang linya sa Spruce kay sa linya sa "Make your own Havaianas"... :-)

Actually, ing-ani gyud ang scene sa Spruce especially when a new collection is released... Murag 3 or 4 at a time ra ipasulod para di mag-gubot... Haskang taasa sa linya, Bro... In 3 or 4 days time, wa na... Hurot na! :-)

parehas ra na sila tsinelas ra ug panyo...:lol:

DOTC revives P7.8-B world–class Misamis airport project

November 11, 2008 11:46 am by pna

By Lynda B. Valencia

MANILA, Nov. 11 -– The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) recently revived a plan to construct a P7.8 billion world-class airport at Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental.


The Laguindingan International Airport (LIA) should have been completed in 2002, but was shelved due to lack of funds.

DOTC Secretary Leandro R. Mendoza said, “We are now working on the construction of the LIA. We have funds to start the work.”

”We have to establish an airport in Laguindingan, to meet the increasing air transportation demands and accommodate unhampered operations and unlimited development in the region,” said Mendoza.

The LIA is funded with a loan secured by the Philippine government and the government of Korea. These are the Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF) US$ 22.40 million (original loan); EDCF, US$ 8.2 million (supplemental); Export Credit, US$ 62.75 million; Nordic Investment Bank (NIB), US$ 13.38 million; and the government of the Philippines, US$ 60.36 million or a total of US$ 167.09 (Php7.853 billion).

The loan is payable in 20 years, with a grace period of 10 years. The repayment will start in 2010 and will be shouldered by the national government.

The airport, which is set to be completed in 2011, is a flagship project of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo under the Mindanao Super Region Program.

Mendoza said the construction of the airport is now in high gear with the establishments of consultants and contractors’ facilities, mobilization of contractor’s resources equipment and site clearing.

The acquisition of the affected properties for the access roads is now 100 percent complete and is being undertaken by the provincial government.

The main civil work of the airport which started January 2008, is now 38 percent complete.

Air navigation and support facilities will be bidded out this year.

LIA is set for construction at a 200-hectare land outside the Cagayan de Oro City. It will have a 2.5- kilometer runway that could accommodate Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

It will also compliment the planned 82.5-kilometer Phase I of the Mindanao Railway Systems that will serve the transportation needs of the Iligan-Cagayan de Oro Industrial Corridor.

The LIA is seen as a key element in the government’s plan to put up “priority” airport to spur tourism and trade in the country. (PNA)

DOTC explains airport status
By Danilo V. Adorador III

THE Laguindingan Airport project in Misamis Oriental is not an international airport, and wasn't delayed because funds intended for it were haphazardly transferred to Iloilo as widely reported.

Engineer Ryan B. Gico, one of the project's overseers at the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC), clarified these oft-repeated errors as he sought to appraise the Misamis Oriental Provincial Board on the airport's latest updates during the regular session Monday.


The Laguindingan Airport Development Project (LADP), Engineer Gico said will only be offering domestic flights, but "of international standards."

It will have features of an international airport, which can be upgraded later for international use.

"What we are constructing now is a domestic airport and not comparable for example, Davao International Airport," Gico told Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro.

Gico also said "politics" was not among the reasons why the airport is delayed.

Cagayan de Oro Vice Mayor Vicente Emano, who was already a Misamis Oriental governor when the project was conceived in the early 90's, had earlier said that "politics" caused the delay in the airport project's implementation.

Emano said funds for the Laguindingan airport construction was transferred to a similar project in Iloilo after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo fared poorly in Cagayan de Oro and Misamis Oriental in the 2004 elections.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo bagged a wide margin of victory in Iloilo, where her then political ally Senate Franklin Drilon hails.

But Gico said all these were not true.

The Laguindingan project had not taken off immediately because its foreign-assisted funds were not released as the project still lacks the domestic counterparts from the government, he said.

"The Iloilo and Bacolod airports project had already taken off when the Laguindingan project was still on the preconstruction stage. So there was no transfer of funds from Laguindingan to Iloilo," the DOTC official told the provincial board.

Meanwhile, Gico said that as of December 15, the project has secured another set of foreign loan totaling $62.75 million. This funds form part the revised project cost of P7.853 billion which was approved by the government last September.

The 2002 projected cost was only at P5.385 billion. Civil works will start January 2008, he added.

Gico appeared before the Provincial Board after PB member Francisco Bade earlier expressed concern over the LAPD's status, saying not much of its goings-on are reported or coordinated with the provincial legislature.

"Over at Iloilo, work is already being done on its airport project. But we have to realize that funding for the two projects are different since the Iloilo project is funded by the Japanese while the Laguindingan airport project is in turn funded by the South Korean Export-Import bank," he said.

Despite this Drilon, then the Senate President, said he would work towards expediting the release of the funding and other requirements needed to fast track the implementation of the airport project.

And while then Mayor Vicente Emano welcomed Drilon's statement of support he pointed out that politics caused the delay in the airport project's implementation.

Emano recounted that prior to last year's elections the Laguindingan international airport project was identified as the top priority projects to be implemented in the country.

However the mayor said things turned around when President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo fared poorly in Cagayan de Oro and Misamis Oriental in the last elections and achieved a margin of victory in Iloilo.

"Of course the Senate President won't admit it but the Iloilo airport project was prioritized. That was to be expected but it must be pointed out that the Laguindingan international project was the first priority," Emano said during his "Mayor's Move" program last Saturday.

Meron naman tayong tinatawag na evolution. Malay natin na nag-evolve na siya into a much higher degree. :)

It's now or never: CDO
SPORTS EYE By Raffy T. Uytiepo Updated November 11, 2008 12:00 AM

CEBU - It’s been some five years since the Nike Pharmaton 10K Circuit (which later became Adidas Pharmaton) was last held in Cagayan de Oro. Since then a lot of changes has occurred in this City of Golden Friendship. For instance, there’s the new 5th Cagayan Bridge spanning 2.5 kilometers over the Cagayan River. So last Saturday I didn’t sleep at all just to catch the 5 a.m. flight to that city so I could run in the Milo Marathon on Sunday. But the weather had another plan. I watched a bulletin on late TV that there was a low pressure brewing in Mindanao. The sky was starting to become dark as we boarded our plane where we waited for over 30 minuets at the runway. The pilot announced that the weather in Cagayan de Oro has deteriorated. We were then instructed to disembark and wait for further instructions whether the flight would be cancelled or not. Then we were told that the flight was on again. Other passengers already opted to rebook in other airlines. Midway during the flight, turbulence started to shake the plane prompting some passengers to shriek and cry. Being a veteran of hundreds of plane rides, I know this was nothing compared to some of my trips I just treated it as riding a horse in a rodeo in Bukidnon. As we approached CDO, the pilot announced that it was visibility zero and that he will make another turn and if the runway cannot still be seen, we will have to go back to Cebu. Finally he saw an opening (murag basketball da!) and landed the plane. The passengers were a bit shaken but they have arrived in one piece. The flight from Manila was cancelled. Another reason why I was in CDO was to meet a prospective franchisee who wants to open a Casa Ilongga outlet.

Milo Marathon

Just before the race, I met old friends in Cagayan, some were my race officials who lamented that since I stopped organizing races there, “wala nay dagan” except Milo. Dodong Rosales of the Oro City Sunday Runners and Philip Parco asked me if we could revive running in CDO saying “murag gi-lukemia na ang dagan dire”. I said I cannot promise but I’ll try to bring the MOVE 5K Circuit there. Having no sleep at all I decided not to join the official race and ran on another route instead. While the Milo runners traversed the heavily traffic Lapasan Highway, I took the uphill tree-lined route to the Lumbia Airport then returned to the Milo Marathon finish line at the provincial capitol. As my former race officials saw me they informed that an accident happened just before the 10K halfway turning point. A 10-wheeler truck bumped the motorcycle escort of female lead runner Mary Grace de los Santos of Zamboanga City, while also hitting the runner herself. I was also informed that the driver was drunk and even attempted to escape but was apprehended some 50 meters away. With blood oozing from a head wound, De los Santos still continued running and even won, hitting the breast tape in 1:30. The unlucky race official is said to be in critical condition while his wife who was back riding also landed in the hospital. But wait a minute, why didn’t race officials stop De los Santos from continuing? “Kaya ko pa” was her reply when asked if she was alright. If I were the race director, I would stop her outright and bring her to the hospital. I was told she had 4 stitches at the back of her head. As I write this column in Cagayan, Delos Santos has checked in the hospital for observation. I just hope she will be fine. Do you remember Delos Santos? Well she’s the surprise female winner of last month’s Holiday Gym and Spa Run to the Max 10 Miler.

Some of the veteran race officials said they wish to thank me for training them to be CDO’s more knowledgeable road race personnel. I just can’t understand why the lead escort was not a police traffic marshal. I saw several traffic motorcycle cops at the finish line where they always converge, waiting for the “biyaya.” They should have escorted the lead runners especially in the highway. But let’s not blame anybody. It was an accident. The race official and the runner was hit from behind and the driver a drunk at that. Blame it on a saint or a horse. Philip said “sino”? Si San Miguel or the Red Horse. Let’s look for the bottle and contact Glenn Soco, I mean… Scene of the Crime Operatives.

Notes:

I would like to greet the staff of Planet Sports Limketkai Mall a pleasant day. These are supervisor Janice Nabasca, Maricel Cagadas, Dandith Yanson and Mark Jun Velayo. And also to Frank Salazar who said it’s scary to cross the streets in CDO especially the way drivers act on the road. (THE FREEMAN)

its not the city alone but when we say Metro Cebu where the other cities of talisay, lapulapu and mandaue are included kasi nga one urban area sila..
its not like a definition ng Metro Cdeo then para maingon lang na metro ipugos ug apil mga towns nga dili urban

Metro Cebu man gud kay contiguous ang urbanity between the Cities of Cebu, lapulapu and mandaue (im not sure with talisay) mao Metro Cebu refers to the Metropolitan area/group of the ff cities[/QUOTE]

Ipugos ang mga towns na dili URBAN? It only shows that you're one of the few misguided people on what a metro really is. I would like to reiterate the definition of a metro from WEBSTERS dictionary, the most reliable english dictionary, that states that a metro is a metropolitan regional government, including the SUBURBS. Another definition is stipulated, a metro pertains to a metropolitan. And what is a metropolitan? It pertains to a characteristic of a metropolis. And what is a metropolis? A chief city of a country or a region, any busy center of commerce. And what is Cagayan de Oro? But the chief city of Northern Mindanao, the center of trade and industry, and the regional center of REGION X. :)

Bigby’s Pork Steak, Bigby’s Cheese Caramel Cake (http://www.mindanaoan.com/2008/11/10/bigbys-cheese-caramel-cake/)
November 10, 2008 by Taga Mindanao

One of the restaurants I tend to go to whenever I’m in the City of Golden Friendship here in Mindanao (Cagayan de Oro City, of course) is Bigby’s Cafe and Restaurant. Ever since they opened in Cagayan de Oro nearly ten years ago on December 8, 1998, people have raved about their appetizing food choices and of course, the size of their servings. True to its name, Bigby’s offers meals in BIG sizes and they make sure that you leave their cafe and restaurant full and contented. Actually, you may even end up bringing some of your food home because that’s how large their servings are.

So anyways I was in CDO last weekend with my mom and we decided to eat dinner at Bigby’s SM Cagayan de Oro. My mom ordered the Boomerang Shrimps meal (P219.00) and soda while I ordered the Bigby’s Pork Steak (P219.00) and raspberry iced tea (P85.00) *Photos were taken using a Motorola Krzr.

http://www.mindanaoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/08-11-08_1902-300x225.jpghttp://www.mindanaoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/08-11-08_1901-300x225.jpg

As you can see, the serving is HUGE yet the meal is, IMO, affordable.

The meat was tender and lean and was served on a sizzling plate. What I liked was that the meat was juicy and delish. The cup of rice, by the way, is already part of the P219.00 meal.

My mom was craving for dessert so she walked towards the display counter and looked at the array of cakes and pastries. When she got back to our table, she told me that she ordered the Bigby’s Cheese Caramel Cake. I haven’t tried that yet so I really didn’t know what to expect. Lo and behold, this was served to us:

http://www.mindanaoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/08-11-08_1917-300x225.jpghttp://www.mindanaoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/08-11-08_1916-300x225.jpg

The slice was so large it almost filled the entire plate!

My mom was a bit surprised, too. I told her that in Bigby’s, they don’t serve cheesecake. They serve CCCHHHEEESSSEEEE CCAAAAKKKKEEEE

One serving of this caramel cheesecake is priced at P250.00. That may be a bit expensive for many but I tell you, this slice is good for 4-5 people. There’s no way only two people can finish this off! The cake tastes rich and you would really know that they didn’t scrimp on the ingredients. Pretty delish.

And yep, you guessed it right. We brought a large portion of it home.

Scary and weird display at Marcella SM Cagayan de Oro branch (http://www.mindanaoan.com/2008/11/09/scary-and-weird-display-at-marcella-sm-cagayan-de-oro-branch/)
November 9, 2008 by Taga Mindanao

I’m not a visual display expert but I think this display of wigs over at Marcella SM Cagayan de Oro branch looks weird. Scary even.

I was paying for the items I bought at the said store when I saw this area near the cashier. Don’t these look as if they came right out of a scene in the cult flick “The Ring“? Or don’t these look like as if these are real ladies waiting for their hair to be shampooed?

http://www.mindanaoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/08-11-08_1640.jpg

I mean this is just my personal opinion but come on! I appreciate that the Marcella store needs to showcase the wigs and sell them but I seriously think there’s a much better way to arrange the display.

Apologies for the low quality of the photos. Just took this one with my Motorola Krzr.

Ipugos ang mga towns na dili URBAN? It only shows that you're one of the few misguided people on what a metro really is. I would like to reiterate the definition of a metro from WEBSTERS dictionary, the most reliable english dictionary, that states that a metro is a metropolitan regional government, including the SUBURBS. Another definition is stipulated, a metro pertains to a metropolitan. And what is a metropolitan? It pertains to a characteristic of a metropolis. And what is a metropolis? A chief city of a country or a region, any busy center of commerce. And what is Cagayan de Oro? But the chief city of Northern Mindanao, the center of trade and industry, and the regional center of REGION X. :)

Metropolitan, metropolis, metro: they all refer to one definition which is a group of cities, suburbs, counties, districts and municipalities bonded together in one area forming a one unified core of population.

Generally, it should be what a metro should be defined regardless if it reaches one million population or not. According to wikipedia, the US Census provided their own definition of a metro just like the above definition but did not really put into account the importance of population count which they set at a minimum of 50,000. The Canadian census also provided their own definition similar to that. Even our book in sociology specifically in urban issues during my college days provided the same definition.

If we use that definition, only Metro Manila and Metro Cebu qualifies in the Philippines on what is to be called a metropolitan area but our Philippine census do not follow that. Instead, they use the population count as basis of what is to be called metro or not. With our Phil. census method, there are three metropolitan cities in the Philippines: Manila, Cebu and Davao.

I guess our Philippine census does not use such definition in their categorization of cities in the Philippines.

I think that 700,000 population for Metro Cebu is only for the city of Cebu minus Lapu-lapu, Mandaue and nearby Talisay.

Hala oi, looya pud nimo oi. Mao ba? dili naman ko kahinanglan mo explain sa Asian Institute of Management bahin anang standard definition sa METRO kay I'm sure kabalo sila ana nga definition regarding metros specifically kanang US og Canadian Census. Ako ra man tawon tong gi-define ang what is used in the Philippines as a definition in comparison to what is used in the US and Canada.

Ayawg kabalaka bai kay like the Philippines, India also uses population count as basis for categorization of cities.

Isa pa, you do not need to laugh at me coz I am not trying to lure you with that definition. Ayaw pairala imong pagka-troll ba. Basaha kuno og tarong kung naa bay aura of sarcasm tong post nako bag-o ka mo katawa diha.

Og isa pa, wala ma'y gapugos diri sa Normin nga kahinanglan ang CdeO metro gyud. Kamo ra man nang gabutang butang nga "nagpaka" metro ang CdeO para lang nindot paminawon. Sa analysis nako sa tanan post nimo bai, ga-ibutang nimo ang CdeO sa alanganin kay gi-portray nimo nga "katkat" og nagpaka "metro" ang CdeO. Klarohay lang ba, unsa man gyud imong tuyo diri sa CdeO thread? Kay sa ako lang nakita puro ra man gubot imo pangita diri. Nganong kusog man kaayo mo mag hugaw2x sa thread sa CdeO?

How about the majority of Davao city which is actually di gyud urban, Way? Di na apil sa Metro? What is your view on this? :-)

huh? although ±10% ra sa area sa Davao ang urban, almost majority sa population naa man didto

and maski 10% ra na, its big enough na man nga makahatag ug "big city feel"
With regards to kung asa ang Metro area, basi bitaw dili na apil tung majority sa area nga bukid ug forest) but then kanang 10% na na which stretches from Toril to Lasang (or partida pa MAtina crossing lang to Lanang) dako man gihapon compared to the urban sprawl of smaller cities like CdeO

I do admit nga out of the three major metro areas davao ang least urban, pero unsaon ta man na nga gi apil man nila

well sabagay, it may have the least number of tall buildings pero the urban sprawl is "significant" na man nga ma consider nimong "lahi ra jud" with other smaller cities..so naapil sya sa cut (tinood man jud, i compare ra gud ang urban sprawl sa Davao with most cities except for MM and MC and makita man jud ang difference)

ayaw ra gud mog ka bitter sa Davao oi, unsaon ta man nga considered man jud sya as among the big cities sa pinas..so the more ninyo kontrahon, the more nga bitter kaayo ang gawas..:yes:

youre a genius gearx. you really know your history

IMHO, Davao is the premiere city of Mindanao... Hands down! Pero, CdO is an emerging metropolis... No doubt! I really don't understand why some forumers are trying to sell their city here when, in fact, this is the CdO thread... Murag gusto gyud ninyo ipahibalo namo na dako mo, progressive mo, katkat mi... Why? Cebu doesn't do that... Manila pud... Pero, you do... Ngano kaha? If you are confident in your city as being the 3rd metro sa Pinas, be humble... No need to explain to us... Why man? You think man gud na we might be thinking that our city is better than yours... Basin... Unsa? Maka-insecure diay na? No matter what you say or do, we will always love and defend CdO... We live here!

wala man cguro nikontra. Pero basing on the general standard definition ra man to amo. Wala mi paki oi kung metro ba mo o dili. Og isa pa wala'y nangandoy nga ma metro ang among "small" cities kay ang amo lang nga piskay ang fiscal situation sa among mga lugar. Mas maayo gani nga dili metro kay dili kaayo daghan tawo og wala kaayo mga holdaper, mga petty crimes og uban pa nga mga issues nga highly inclined kaayo sa mga metro cities.

na mao gyud @rotski. Matingala man ko ani nila nga perte man kaayo. Gusto nila nga murag itatak gyud sa atong mga alimpatakan nga SILA GYUD when in fact kabalo naman ta unsa ang Davao sa Mindanao. Ang ato ra man diri sa CdeO nga paspas ang development as fast as that of their city but not necessarily eclipsing their well beloved metro. Preha gyud ta og observation kay ang taga-Cebu di man gapantunob sa Iloilo og Bacolod nga emerging metros na pud. Cebu doesnt stomp on to smaller cities just to prove their "class" kay kabalo naman sila og dili na kahinanglan i-bandera nga dako mi, nindot mi, og lambo mi.

Its because when you keep telling nga metro mi, dako mi, og lambo mi og worse KAMI RA, makita man gud dayon nato ang necessary nga mga issues regarding sa ilahang gi-bandera about sa ilang city. Kung regarding metro, then naay necessary definitions nga internationally acclaimed but not locally acclaimed in the Philippines. We just point the necessary definitions but not necessarily disregarding our local definitions pero to them its as if we're trying to pull them down or we're trying to do some "katkat" to them when in fact we're not. We're just pointing out what should be and what should have been, di ba? But, I reiterate again, NOT necessarily a "bitter",a "sourgraping",or shall I say, a "crab mentality" to pull down a neighbor from rising into progress. Kay kung mao na, gi-unay na namo sa Iligan thread og bira ang CdeO aron lang dili sila molambo.

Bitter? No! We are not...

perhaps ikaw dili, pero ang uban dire..well ambot na lang

Nobody is doubting them as being real metros... Do you ever wonder why sige ta debate about Davao's being a metro? :-)

saon ta man ang uban dira sige mag kontra gud, kataw-anan kaayo kay halata kaayo nga bitter i dunno, but ginapamukha lang nako nga ngano sige pa man mog kontra nga apil man jud ang Davao sa mga gina consider as metro cities nga (or major urban centers)

Unya beh, asa man ka nakakita og trace sa akong gi-post nga gi-discredit nako ang Davao? Klaro baya kaayo to akong gi-post nga with reference pa gyud nganong dubbed as metro ang Davao despite sa absence atong agglomeration of other suburbs and subunits such as municipalities, counties or districts, and small cities. Ayha ra ka moingon og ingon ana kung nisulti kog definition in connection to the US and Canadian census og wala'y reference sa system nga gi-follow sa Philippine census. Negative ra kaayo ka og basa sa akong gi post oi. With matching "nyahahaha" pa gyud. So si kinsa man ang gapang-provoke anang nga klase sa post nimo ron? di ba ikaw? wla gyu'y pagka provocative ato akong post.

Unya we're not bitter bya gyud sa pagka metro sa Davao. Dont worry kay dili na ko mo-palit anang metro nga talk sunod. Ang sa ako lang man pud kay tanawon pud nato unsa'y trend sa ubang nasod with regard to methods of population census in urban areas in comparison to what is implemented by some institutions here in the Philippines.

I understand you perfectly, Bai... Ang ako lang, the more na i-try ninyo na ipamukha sa amo na mas maayo inyo ciudad kay sa amoa, the more molayo ang topic sa dapat i-discuss... Mao ra na... Di man pud mi papildi... Again, we love and will defend CdO at all costs... Amo gud ni! We are happy for the developments in your city... Can you also be happy for us about our own progress? Mura man gud mo matumban kon naay gwapo mahitabo diri sa amoa... Di baya gyud... You will not be able to enjoy our development as much as we can kay taga-Davao baya ka... This is actually the main reason na bisan unsa ninyo pag-convinve sa amo na mas gwapo ang Davao, wa man kaayo ni bili sa amo kay usahay ra baya mi maka-bisita diha... You get my point, Bai? Pastilan! Di na ta mag-away, uy... The fact is, our cities and all other cities in Mindanao are inter-dependent... So, enough with this childish stuff, OK? Back to topic na ta... :-)

Well, aminado man ko nga sometimes ang post nako makasuya jud, and tutal ikaw may kaistorya nako, I apologize sa imoha if naka cause ug kasuya ang akong posts sa imoha

CICT opens new e-learning center in QC
By Anna Valmero
INQUIRER.net
First Posted 10:35:00 11/11/2008

QUEZON CITY, Philippines -- The Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) has opened its seventh e-learning center in Loyola Heights under its eSkwela project.

The CICT through its Human Capital Development Group (CICT HCDG) launched in 2005 eSkwela to provide disadvantaged youth with educational opportunities to help reduce the digital divide and enhance their capacity to be successful participants in a global and knowledge-based economy.

The Loyola Heights center received an enrollment of 55 learners, mostly aged below 20.

The eSkwela project hopes to provide opportunity for Filipino out-of-school youths and adults (OSYAs) to go back to school.

According to a 2004 study by the Department of Education, there are 15 million Filipino out-of-school youths and adults. A major cause of this is poverty. Instead of going to school, children from poor families start working at an early age to help provide for their families.

According to the Functional Literacy, Education and Mass Media Survey (FLEMMS), public education in the country is free but the poor find it difficult to cover transportation, food and allowances cost of going to school.

Angelina Malabanan, mobile teacher at the new center, said the site will offer the opportunity of alternative education for more OSYAs in the area.

Malabanan was fielded by DepEd’a Bureau of Alternative Learning System (BALS) as a mobile teacher.

“Under eSkwela, we call the enrollees as learners compared to students in formal schooling; we teach them based on their own pace,” said Malabanan. “We employ interactive topic modules to teach them the five learning strands geared to help them develop basic skills in preparation for employment, vocational courses or tertiary education.”

The five learning strands include communications, critical thinking and problem solving, productivity and sustainability of natural resources, development of self and sense of community, and expanding one’s world vision. The modules include audio and text materials in English but for discussions, learners can use Filipino or English.

Since eSkwela is a play on Filipino terms “iskwela” meaning school and “kwela” meaning fun, the five strands uses BALS-based interactive modules which learners can access via the Internet.

Malabanan said this strategy helps students develop computer literacy while studying the modules.

Malabanan added that they also encourage peer-teaching, in which fast learners help slow learners in some topics. “This gives learning a community experience,” she said.

Amy Mosura, eSkwela project staff, said they are continuously expanding as more communities learn about and adopt the program.

“Communities contact us to seek guidance on how to set up an eSkwela center. Since this is a “bayanihan” effort, the local community helps provide a room or a center to house the learners and the computers to be used. Then, mobile teachers are fielded and teach at the center.”

The community in which the eSkwela center is located manages the center.

Mosura said the local community, which includes LGUs and local DepEd or civic organizations, are oriented about their responsibilities to maintain the sustainability of the project and become stewards of development for their learners.

Mosura added that they are gaining enrollees as more learn about the benefits of the eSkwela program: ICT-based learning and flexible schedules.

She added the program also eliminates awkwardness for adults to learn in a formal school environment.

She cited as example a 40-year-old who gave up schooling in Grade 6 due to being bullied for her physical disability. She enrolled at the eSkwela center in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, took the accreditation exam and ranked eighth among examiners in the area.

“The current education system is a one-size fits all program but for some reasons, it cannot work for some people -- like the young who start work at an early age and those above 30-years-old who feel awkward to go back to secondary school. We cannot keep them marginalized because they are assets of the country towards development.”

But there is a long road ahead for eSkwela.

According to Amy Mosura of the eSkwela project, challenges for operations and further expansion include lack of mobile teachers and funding. Budget for eSkwela comes from CICT and grants from foundations, such as the APEC Educational Foundation, mainly provide budget for eSkwela’s operations.

In the Loyola Heights center, lack of desktop computers is a big challenge since all 55 learners share the five computers available, said Malabanan. To address this, learners have limited hours of computer use and were divided in morning and afternoon shifts.

The new center is the second e-learning site in Diliman, the first is located at Roces Avenue. Provincial centers are located at Bulacan, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Ormoc and Zamboanga.

Metropolitan, metropolis, metro: they all refer to one definition which is a group of cities, suburbs, counties, districts and municipalities bonded together in one area forming a one unified core of population.

Generally, it should be what a metro should be defined regardless if it reaches one million population or not. According to wikipedia, the US Census provided their own definition of a metro just like the above definition but did not really put into account the importance of population count which they set at a minimum of 50,000. The Canadian census also provided their own definition similar to that. Even our book in sociology specifically in urban issues during my college days provided the same definition.

If we use that definition, only Metro Manila and Metro Cebu qualifies in the Philippines on what is to be called a metropolitan area but our Philippine census do not follow that. Instead, they use the population count as basis of what is to be called metro or not. With our Phil. census method, there are three metropolitan cities in the Philippines: Manila, Cebu and Davao.

I guess our Philippine census does not use such definition in their categorization of cities in the Philippines.

I think that 700,000 population for Metro Cebu is only for the city of Cebu minus Lapu-lapu, Mandaue and nearby Talisay.
why insist on other countrys models. the philippines has its own urban planning strategies. could be patterned by bits and pieces of other countries model. and based on publication by philippines institute of development studies, it has 3 models of metropolitan. 1. core city + nieghbouring towns and cities of its political influence + other requirements. the one working with manila and cebu. 2. core city + neighbouring provinces 3. the city itself as metropolis. which has to meet a required population levels. and its where we meant and been telling why davao city is a metropolis. but it seems difficult to understnad

youre a genius gearx. you really know your history

^^But the municipal hall during this era is located in what is now Phil' Veterans Bank or is it?:)

Unya beh, asa man ka nakakita og trace sa akong gi-post nga gi-discredit nako ang Davao? Klaro baya kaayo to akong gi-post nga with reference pa gyud nganong dubbed as metro ang Davao despite sa absence atong agglomeration of other suburbs and subunits such as municipalities, counties or districts, and small cities.

when was the last time you used signature calling manila and cebu to teach a city that was obviously alluded to davao what a metro is

Ani lang na siya bai, mag talk ta og opinions regarding issues pero ayaw lang pud sagoli og "nganong mokontra gyud", "bitter" usahay sagulan pa og "nag metro metro ang CdeO" kay kana pud maka provoke sa uban nga mo post og provocative nga post in answer to your post.

Ikaw na baya gaingon nga post lang gud ta with facts dili lang nang "below the belt". Unya kana imong gabuhaton nga "nganong mokontra gyud", "bitter", "nagpa metro metro", lapas na man na sa linya og matawag na man na nga tinalawan nga tubag. Kana bang motipas na lang bitaw aron naa lay matubag.

Preha ganiha nisulti lang tag kung unsay definition sa US og CANADA nga mga census in connection to what is used in the Philippines, gi-tubag ra tag "luoya pud nimo oi" unya dungagan pa og "nyahahahaha" nga limpyo baya kaayo tong post nako. Unya ingnan pa og "kontra" ta. Mao na diha, mag una una dayon og provoke. 'Di ba provoke naman nang ingon ana nga buhat? Ikaw ra nagpa-hinungdan sa pagprovoke sa uban nimo.

Nganong mang provoke man pud ka diri kung dili gusto i-provoke sa uban. Mao nang giingon nga wala'y resulta kung wala'y hinungdan, di ba? or sa lain pa, "wag mong gawin sa iba ang ayaw mo'ng gawin ng iba sa iyo.l"
hes got the point to some degree. youve been questioning the mteroploitan status of davao like it did not smell supressed agendas. this thread is a revealation of how some love to attach metro to your city which obviously is not and doesnot qualify to any definitional models of metropolitan

^^ thats just your assumptions ser. as i said before, the only metro in the philippines today is metro manila, soon there will be a metro cebu... pero kung metro cdo ang pag uusapan, malayu2 pa yan, but we are getting there.

how did you get that notion from my recent post that I am questioning Davao's being metro? Perhaps, I had that in mind in the past but since our national agencies use another method and so I was contented with it.

I am not reiterating those definitions just to negate Davao's metropolitan status but it's also nice to let people know that there are other standard definitions of the word "metropolitan" which is almost alien to most of us here. Does it mean that if we connect to other international definitions we are already questioning your city's being metro? I dont think it should be like that coz cynical ra kaayo na nga view.

Ganito na ba ang basa niyo sa mga post ngayon, meron nang halong negative perception? Why dont you read those post and point the exact words where i negated Davao's metropolitan status. I-point mo nga kung merong negative aura yung post kasi sinabi ko lang naman yun dahil napag-usapan din nila yung metro, metropolitan, metropolis kaya ako nag post ng definitions.

At saka, definitions lang naman yun and sampling Davao in relation to the system used by our local institutions.

What I did was explain that this is this in US and Canada, and, this is this in the Philippines which also puts into account of how Davao came under a metropolitan status which is based on population as opposed to other urban agglomeration (such as that of the US and Canadian census system) which consists of a bigger city and a number of suburbs, districts, counties, or municipalities which do not necessarily reach a desired number of population.

If mag explain na ba tayo ng ganun, kini-question ko na ang Davao's being metro? :ohno:

I understand why you see it like that kasi magkababayan kayo ni Boyet and I know this topic will extend to another nonsense pinpointing and senseless accusations. Anyway, If I may sound too negative as what you perceive with my posts, I dont care basta I havent been against Davao's metro status. If you think the other way then that's your perception. Go on whatever thought you like coz alam ko naman na wala rin tong patutunguhan gaya ng past arguments. I am not buying the idea na ini-negate mo whatever I am saying but I am just telling this kasi madadamay lang ang thread.

Thanks @gearx. She's my friend's daughter.


yes....

IMO, metro thing in Mindanao is just a "pakonswelo de bobo". To borrow the words of @WawaY, it's just being used to sound "nicer and fairer" though we all know that there is no as such in Mindanao as of the moment (but maybe in the near future). Meron na kasing Metro in both Luzon and Visayas, so para naman hindi lalabas na kulilat and unfair for Mindanao, binigyan din ng isang metro (sa pangalan lang), and that was decades ago nong iilang cities pa lang sa Mindanao ang medyo angat. Pero iba na ngayon. That's why there's always this arguments about this "Metro" thing. :)

not only you or one or 2 from among your group. you dont deny how many arguments made it a issue. you just dont forget it and wash hands. it happened in your thread and it happend in davao thread. your old signature speaks for itself and that sig says alot about you. and i am not there to just always negate as you said. you get to accept there are biasis in opinions, anyone could come out speak up with enlightened views. even if it gets down to uncovering the truth and rots behind those opinions. with me, i dont bother to see whats in your city. if i see your posts hve something that attract curiousity, i get the interest to find out.

do you think davao city people, insanely euphoric with it? it shows your bitter hidden desire of the name for cdo and raise image. you have seen forumers here neither care about the name nor out telling everyone for having it. theyre draggd into arguments to help people with learning difficulties comprehend the simple fact of reality. could you explain why aim grouped the city into metropolitan category and not pooled in group where cdo belonged?

;27881112']CDOICC ba talaga official name nyan?

DOTC revives P7.8-B world–class Misamis airport project

November 11, 2008 11:46 am by pna

By Lynda B. Valencia

MANILA, Nov. 11 -– The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) recently revived a plan to construct a P7.8 billion world-class airport at Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental.


The Laguindingan International Airport (LIA) should have been completed in 2002, but was shelved due to lack of funds.

DOTC Secretary Leandro R. Mendoza said, “We are now working on the construction of the LIA. We have funds to start the work.”

”We have to establish an airport in Laguindingan, to meet the increasing air transportation demands and accommodate unhampered operations and unlimited development in the region,” said Mendoza.

The LIA is funded with a loan secured by the Philippine government and the government of Korea. These are the Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF) US$ 22.40 million (original loan); EDCF, US$ 8.2 million (supplemental); Export Credit, US$ 62.75 million; Nordic Investment Bank (NIB), US$ 13.38 million; and the government of the Philippines, US$ 60.36 million or a total of US$ 167.09 (Php7.853 billion).

The loan is payable in 20 years, with a grace period of 10 years. The repayment will start in 2010 and will be shouldered by the national government.

The airport, which is set to be completed in 2011, is a flagship project of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo under the Mindanao Super Region Program.

Mendoza said the construction of the airport is now in high gear with the establishments of consultants and contractors’ facilities, mobilization of contractor’s resources equipment and site clearing.

The acquisition of the affected properties for the access roads is now 100 percent complete and is being undertaken by the provincial government.

The main civil work of the airport which started January 2008, is now 38 percent complete.

Air navigation and support facilities will be bidded out this year.

LIA is set for construction at a 200-hectare land outside the Cagayan de Oro City. It will have a 2.5- kilometer runway that could accommodate Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

It will also compliment the planned 82.5-kilometer Phase I of the Mindanao Railway Systems that will serve the transportation needs of the Iligan-Cagayan de Oro Industrial Corridor.

The LIA is seen as a key element in the government’s plan to put up “priority” airport to spur tourism and trade in the country. (PNA)

Discredit sa Davao? :omg: naghilas-hilas ka na naman dong! Unsa man daw koneksyon sa pagtawag ug international airport ug sa Metro CDO sa Davao? Kung tawagon ko ba metro ang CDO mabira ba paubos ang status sa Davao? DILI DIBA? Siguro opinyon mo lang na nga "way on discrediting Davao" ang maong mga terms kung gamiton sa CDO. :ohno::ohno: Mga BRO, naa koy pangutana: Unsa may itawag ninyo sa mga tawo nga naghuna-huna ug gikasakit kung dunay mga kalamboan sa usa ka dapit?

Ang nahinumduman ko @Waway dati kadtong gravy addict pa ata siya, dili daw siya gatawag ug Metro Dabaw kay medyo alanganin gyod daw tawgong metro. Tinood man sab, ilang percent lang ba urban sa Davao? Hoi dili kini pang discredit ha kay fact na siya ng kinahanglan mauban sa diskusyon.

To @Waway, tama na dong sa imong pasiatab. Nagpaila ka lang sa imong pagka... tama na nga boju :lol::lol:

IMHO, Davao is the premiere city of Mindanao... Hands down! Pero, CdO is an emerging metropolis... No doubt! I really don't understand why some forumers are trying to sell their city here when, in fact, this is the CdO thread... Murag gusto gyud ninyo ipahibalo namo na dako mo, progressive mo, katkat mi... Why? Cebu doesn't do that... Manila pud... Pero, you do... Ngano kaha? If you are confident in your city as being the 3rd metro sa Pinas, be humble... No need to explain to us... Why man? You think man gud na we might be thinking that our city is better than yours... Basin... Unsa? Maka-insecure diay na? No matter what you say or do, we will always love and defend CdO... We live here! This is our city! Metropolis or not, we are happy here... OK? :-)

AMEN! AMEN! brother!!!!!:cheers:

It's beautiful!!! Tapos na ba ang access roads both sides?

do you think davao city people, insanely euphoric with it? it shows your bitter hidden desire of the name for cdo and raise image. you have seen forumers here neither care about the name nor out telling everyone for having it. theyre draggd into arguments to help people with learning difficulties comprehend the simple fact of reality. could you explain why aim grouped the city into metropolitan category and not pooled in group where cdo belonged?

And what the simple fact of reality? The reality is CDO government, NGOs, and Business Chambers are doing rightfully to make CDO a true Metro. CDO don't care what AIM categorized, CDO aims high on herself. There's no joke, we're sincerely doing it. Dili lang CDO ang ginaproject nga metro karon, kung aware ka mas daghan pa. So ayaw pagtumbuka ang CDO na namugos sa pagkametro.

Kabalo kami nga dili pa gyod kami metro pero nagpraktis lang kami pagtawag niana sama sa ubang mga agencies ug government officials... nasa processo pa. Ug dako namong pasalamat kay samtang sayo pa, giandam na sa government ang maong plano kay musogot ka ug sa dili, sa taas nga growth rate ng population nato, moabot gyod ta anang panahona. Now, if you don't understand, you're the one who has learning difficulties.

for once again, ang population of the city ang ang tubag sa imo innocent question. ang urban density ug sprawl or ang spread sa urban sa city ang second consideration. ug ngano question man ka sa urban size? naa ba city sa mindanao bigger sa urban size sa davao city?

What's the big deal of such names? Ang Davao International Airport bitaw dili man na tinood nga pangalan pero ngano mao man na ang pirmi nako madungog. Unsa gani tinood panagalan sa DIA? Almost "never heard" in my life

gi atay ka bai, duha ang name sa DIA, Francisco Bangoy International Airport ug Davao International Airport although mas ginagamit ang Davao International Airport..dili man na namo gibuhat buhat lang..mao gani nag ask ko if CDO International COnvention CEnter ba jud ang name sa convention center or kamo kamo ra ang nagsulti ana kay "patsada man paminawon"

akong nabantayan man gud dire, maski dili pa gani sure, basta "patsada paminawon" accept dayon ninyo as tinood


Discredit sa Davao? :omg: naghilas-hilas ka na naman dong! Unsa man daw koneksyon sa pagtawag ug international airport ug sa Metro CDO sa Davao? Kung tawagon ko ba metro ang CDO mabira ba paubos ang status sa Davao? DILI DIBA? Siguro opinyon mo lang na nga "way on discrediting Davao" ang maong mga terms kung gamiton sa CDO. :ohno::ohno: Mga BRO, naa koy pangutana: Unsa may itawag ninyo sa mga tawo nga naghuna-huna ug gikasakit kung dunay mga kalamboan sa usa ka dapit? (metro thingy in CDO is not new, more than a decade ago metro CDO was proposed. Mosugot ta ug sa dili, sa taas ng population growth rate diha gyod ta padulong. Mao nang bukambibig na sa mga taong visionary.Kadtong sa international airport na akong explanation ipost ko pag usab 'to unya)



bwahahaha boju ayaw ra gud paila nga slow ka magsabot sa imong ginabasa, read back and pangitaa asa didto ang akong gi post nga mao na ang akong bu-ot ipasabot..read back ha..i dare you..go boju go nyahahaha ayaw lagi paila ba hahaha


IMO, metro thing in Mindanao is just a "pakonswelo de bobo". To borrow the words of @WawaY, it's just being used to sound "nicer and fairer" though we all know that there is no as such in Mindanao as of the moment (but maybe in the near future). Meron na kasing Metro in both Luzon and Visayas, so para naman hindi lalabas na kulilat and unfair for Mindanao, binigyan din ng isang metro (sa pangalan lang), and that was decades ago nong iilang cities pa lang sa Mindanao ang medyo angat. Pero iba na ngayon. That's why there's always this arguments about this "Metro" thing.

we always argue about the metro thing because may mga taong katulad mo na naiing bitter sa davao kasi pilit ginagaya pero di makaya :lol: :jk: ..simple lang man, sa akoa dili man nako na gina, personally, dili nako sya tawagon nga metro davao in the same context nga na metro ang cebu and manila, but davao is a metropolitan city by virtue of its urban sprawl, population size and economic output which makes it special enough to be considered as among the three major metropolitan area sa Pilipinas

nang reasoning nimo nga "pakonswelo de bobo" napaila ra jud sa pagkabitter nimo ba..nyahahaha aminin

i know its not a metro and not interested to know when your government make into reality those rural towns to get metropolitan interaction and metro sercives of your dream metro. but nag tubag ka sa imong quoted post? its not the post you quoted youre answering

^^:lol: tama na yang mga labels, Filipino lang mahilig dyan. dito sa states, andaming METRO cities, pero di naman ginagamit ie Metro Los Angeles, Chicago, etc. kaya please tigilan na yang metro2 na yan. :ohno:

ei Boju if you do a little research, Davao International Airport was previously named Francisco Bangoy International. Pero ngayon, Davao International na din ang name nito. both are correct FYI lang.

sa Laguindingan, we all know LADP ang tawag dito...hindi ata LIA. Or was it recently changed by reporters?

BEAUTIFUL, MAJESTIC, GRAND, AND LOVELY... CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY!!

For those who have difficulties of learning, read this with understanding.

More infra projects in Mindanao completed
By Joy Romares-Sevilla

FORTY-two percent of the total budget for the implementation of infrastructure projects for the Mindanao Super Region was already spent with the completion of a coal-fired power system in Tagoloan in Misamis Oriental and the ongoing construction of other projects, such as the airport in Laguindingan in the same province, the chair of the Mindanao Economic Development Council (Medco) revealed.
In interview Friday, Undersecretary Virgilio Leyretana, Medco chair, told reporters that the total budget for the implementation of the 29 infrastructure projects for Mindanao Super Region is pegged at P80.731 billion. He said 42 percent of this was already spent.
The implementation of the projects, he said, started in 2006 and will end in 2010.

"The coal-fired power system in Tagoloan was already completed, while the construction of other projects, such as the airport Laguindingan, is ongoing," Leyretana said.

He added that infrastructure projects really need to be pushed in some areas for the Mindanao's development.

"The success of the development of a certain area depends on the availability of infrastructures and other amenities," he said.

The Laguindingan airport, which is of international standard, is expected to serve provinces and cities in Northern Mindanao and Caraga Region.

The airport primarily replaces the existing Lumbia Airport in Cagayan de Oro.

The airport sits on a 4.17-square kilometer site in Barangay Moog, Laguindingan and located 46 kilometers from the existing Lumbia Airport. Upon completion, it will be the fourth international airport in Mindanao, after General Santos International Airport in General Santos, Davao International Airport in Davao, and the Zamboanga International Airport.
The power project in Tagoloan, on the other hand, is a 200-megawatt coal-fired power plant that started operations this year.

^^[B]Kaya hindi issue kng ano man ang itawag sa Laguindingan airport either LA lang or LIA. Ang CDO Seaport nga hindi naman tinatawag na International Seaport kahit na may mga International vessels na dumadaong.

Pero bakit international palagi ang mabigkas ng mga tao dito sa Laguindingan Airport? Noong kapanahonan pa ni Ramos, kasali sa concept ng Cagaya-Iligan corridor (CIC) ang International Airport. Buhat noon, naghahanap sila ng strategic na lokasyon at ang napili ay ang ang Laguindingan site. Bawat labas ng mag balita ay sinasabing international airport ang itatayo dun. Hangang lumipas ang dekada "international airport" pa rin ang binabangit ng mga proponents sa airport na itatayo sa laguindingan.

Hanggang sa nagsimula na ang construction at nito pa nabigay ang exact pangalan nito na Laguindingan Airport lang dahil pang domestic lang naman, pero hindi na nabura sa isipan ang international na pangalan sa mga mamamayan. Gayunpaman, kahit domestic airport lang ito nasa international standards naman ang paggawa. At ang gobyerno at mga negosyante ay may planong magkaroon ng international flights ang Laguindingan Airport. In summation, Laguindingan Airport ang pangalan dahil pamalit ito sa Lumbia Domestic Airport. Kung magkaroon na ng international flights, it's already safe to say Laguindingan International Airport. Sa mga magkakamali pang tumawag ng International Airport sa ngayon, wala silang kasalan. Just understand the history and then understand the future preferences so that you can have peace. Whatever names they call it, the important is we have a coming soon brand new airport of international standards.[/] :cheers:

its hurting my eyes boju...

meron ka bang toned down version of that devilishly interesting post of yours?

sa Laguindingan, we all know LADP ang tawag dito...hindi ata LIA. Or was it recently changed by reporters?

I do research and the currently official name of Davao airport is Francisco Bangoy International Airport

LADP (Laguindingan Airport Development Project )ang tawag sa airport na yan dahil hindi pa tapos...
