15 Out Of 17 Areas Under The P50M Telepono Sa Barangay Project Are Now Operational (http://www.cagayandeoro.gov.ph/?page=news&id=1378)
by Ian A. Fuentes/ City Information Office

Fifteen out of 17 barangays in Cagayan de Oro City covered under the long-delayed P50-million Telepono sa Barangay Project are now fully operational.

This was reported by Supplier Contractor and Networking Telecommunications, Inc. (SCANTEL) president Francisco Z. Villapando, Jr., the project’s contractor, when he met last night with City Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula to give update on the status of the rural telephone project. “We would like to inform you that 15 barangays are already fully operational,” Villapando told Mayor Jaraula during their brief meeting. The 15 recipient-barangays whose telephone lines are now fully operational include Canitoan, Baikingon, Pagatpat, San Simon, Indahag, Lumbia, Bayanga, Mambuaya, Dansolihon, Pagalungan, Tagpangi, Taglimao, Tuburan, Pigsag-an and Tumpagon. Presently, the two non-operational telephone system are those located in far-flung barangays of Tignapoloan and Besigan. Villapando, accompanied by SCANTEL Engineering Head Joselito L. Lozano, explained to the City Mayor that they are fine-tuning the equipment that will be installed to the new replacement sites in Tignapoloan and Besigan. The SCANTEL president, at the same time, requested Mayor Jaraula to start the operational acceptance testing for the 15 operational barangays so that the contractor can properly turn over the telephone project to the City Government. For his part, Mayor Jaraula said he will evaluate the plan of SCANTEL to install equipment to a new sites in barangays Tignapoloan and Besigan as it might have implications on the total costing of the project. The City Chief Executive added that he will tap the assistance of telecommunication experts from concerned government agencies and private sector in order to validate how “viability” and “reliability” of the rural telephone project. It may be recalled that Mayor Jaraula has warned to take legal actions against the project contractor after failing to make the telephone system work and functional despite being given with two extensions of deadline to finish the project. The city has already paid SCANTEL with an initial amount of P31-million.

Convention center may end as a ‘White elephant’ (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/cag/2008/09/05/news/convention.center.may.end.as.a.white.elephant..html)
By Cong B. Corrales
Of SunStar Cagayan de Oro

THE Cagayan de Oro Convention Center in Sitio Taguanao, Barangay Indahag, this city, is one of government infrastructure projects affected by the Supreme Court decision reverting the 105-hectare estate of Dona Josefina Graciano vda Neri into public land.

The fate of the still-unfinished convention center, supposed to be the pride of Cagayan de Oro, could hang in the balance just in the case of Lawndale Springs or Kagay-an Resorts, also in Sitio Taguanao.

But Willy Cuenca, chief of staff of Senator Aquilino Pimentel, is optimistic that they would no longer reapply for the ownership of the land where the convention center stood, unlike the City Government, which lost Lawndale Springs or Kagay-an Resorts.

Cuenca said the convention center is a project by the National Government who became the owner of the Neri estate by virtue of the High Court decision. Senator Pimentel, who hails from Cagayan de Oro, is the main endorser of the convention project.

Lawyer Maryanne Enteria, head of the city legal office, said the City Government is set to reapply at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Land Management for the land ownership of the Kagay-an Resort.

"Dili maapektahan ang convention center ana nga ruling kay national project man kana. Since the land is reverted to public land, the owner is the National Government," Cuenca told Sunstar Cagayan de Oro.

Associate Justice Leonardo Quisumbing ruled that the judicial title of the Neri estate did not pass through proper government processes "even bypassing the then-Bureau of Land and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources."

The High Court ordered the reversion of the estate into a public land rendering the land ownership of claimants including beneficiaries of the Department of Agrarian Reform in doubt.

Opposition lawyer Manuel Ravanera said the decision transformed the convention center and the Kagay-an Resort into "white elephants."

He said millions of pesos in taxpayers' money have gone to waste because of the lack of foresight by government planners.

"Gigastohan og ayo sa gobyerno pero wala gihapon paadtoan. Total waste kini sa kwarta sa katawhan," Ravanera said.

Cuenca, however, belied that the construction of the convention center is "a waste of taxpayers money."

He said funds for the project come "in trickles" because Senator Pimentel is a known opposition figure against the administration of President Gloria Arroyo.

"Hinay kaayo ang release sa pondo. Usahay putol-putol ang fund allocation," Cuenca said.

Cuenca said the Department of Public Works and Highways is the government agency tasked to construct the convention center.

Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro found no workers from the DPWH when it visited the construction site of the convention center in Sitio Taguanao.

Instead, there was only silence at the site and there was even a pile of firewood displayed for sale at its yard. A lone security guard watched over the premises, which was fenced with a sign "Do not enter restricted area."

one of the reasons why the CDOICC is kept on postponing is because of the fact that its a little distant away from the city center aside, of course, from the fact that sen. pimentel's budget is tight. gearX is right that the golez-pelaez complex will overtake the CDOICC in terms of completion. to look at it at a proper angle, sen. pimentel is not really that serious in finishing CDOICC. he's only delaying it so that kagay-anons will think that he's helping cdeo so that he'll win in the next election. i do hope im wrong because if im right kagay-anons will feel bitter at the end.

Perhaps the old man was very angry when tomatoes were thrown at him, while endorsing his senatorial candidate son at Plaza Divisoria last year. After that he has been seeking sweet revenge against his fellow Cagayanons whom majority displeased him. :lol:

Another info:

The recent study showed CDO needed 2,200 hotel rooms. So doing the math :lol:

2,200 = LKK (205) + Mallberry Expansion + Koresco Expansion + Pelaez-Golez 1 + Pelaez-Golez 2 + Pearlmont Expansion + _____ + _____ + _____ .....

^^

so youre saying that there are going to be two structures that the golez-pelaez comp will put up? wow! i have to admit that you really are the smartest and fastest among us when it comes to info.

Baby Back Ribs at Bigby's and Videoke at Galam (http://robstroy.blogspot.com/2008/09/baby-back-ribs-at-bigbys-and-videoke-at.html)
Tuesday, September 02, 2008

Hmmm... you really can enjoy munching the foods at Bigby's Cagayan specially when it is free and you are eating right next with the Cagayan de Oro's most adored Mayor and now Vice Mayor of Cagayan de Oro city - Hon. Vicente Emano.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FQ2NoSRYHxk/SLyeF6Sl8sI/AAAAAAAADl0/eV6tTeTYqNE/s200/01092008453.jpg

We are not actually on the same table with Vice Mayor Emano but as a politician he is, he gave us dessert after our big meal courtesy of my friend Lawrence as a treat to us with Eldie, Elva and Genevieve. With our cheery dispositions we caught Vice Mayor Emano's attention and he stand-up and say hello to us and gave us Chocolate chips cake.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FQ2NoSRYHxk/SLyeXkVgI-I/AAAAAAAADl8/GMxtQgpV4Js/s200/01092008450.jpg

One thing I always order everytime I eat at Bigby's is there so called mouth watering "Rock-a-bye Baby Back Ribs". For a regular person like me, Bigby's Baby Back Ribs serving is already a giant meal, so I am full with one serving of it. Plus the chocolate chips cake courtesy of Vice Mayor Emano walla... the meal is complete with Yellow Mango shake on the side... But I don't recommend Bigby's mango shake since the best Mango shake I tasted here is at Tapsi Time. But when you crave for Filipino foods, I go to Tapsi Time with branches along Velez right next to Polymedic Hospital, at Divisoria along Pabayo Street and one near Medical Center right in-front of Provincial Capitol Grounds.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FQ2NoSRYHxk/SLygGTboTRI/AAAAAAAADmM/ngKUjbtZVcU/s200/DSC00729.JPG

Anyway, dinner is not complete without the Videoke at Galam Videoke Entertainment. If you want to impress your guest with comfortable videoke room, I recommend Galam Videoke. with their spacious room and comfy couches you won't regret your 150 - 200 pesos per hour rent of the place. Yeah, from Bigby's Restaurant at Rosario Arcade, we headed right after to Galam with five of us on Gen's pick-up truck, it is just 10 minutes drive from Limketkai Rosario Arcade. There we were singing at the top of our lungs on the cool sound system entertainment at Galam. We didn't order beers and hard liquors since all of us must wake-up early for job on the morning. But you can order your favorite black label or your Black Muscat, Chardonnay, merlot, how about your favorite Champagne, why not? or if you are a beer belly person then beer is over flowing there like the Filipino favorite beer, the Red Horse Beer or San Miguel Beer, or for body belly figure conscious the San Mig light, or feel the heat of Tanduay rhum.

There you go, it is just a dinner night out with friends. Next plan is out of town trip to Malaybalay...

Anyway, let's back to the topic...:cheers:

Well, as i see from previous arguments between you and them, its as if they look at other places that politicians pose as semi PR to private companies which makes them raise their eyebrows and that their politicians don't do that. At least, some politicians report to people what the positive possibilities that any place may receive in the future. They don't know VM Emano coz they only believe on persons that have connection to their place. Well, that's to them coz to them their city is realllly perfect. Too perfect that they think its perfectness is as perfect as them as people. That's how over self-esteem affects people, they tend to forget that their views inflict to other people or otherwise intended so.

Now, this is an opinion from what i read between the argument last week, so this should be taken as an opinion and not as "palimpyo limpyo" effect as what one referred to some of us here last night, but, i am expecting another onslaught... it's not being thinking nega about them but at least we're ready for that possibility.

Anyway, any bad air coming from the otherside should not be entertained.

Well, if there is, i will say as what Ted Failon and Korina Sanchez said, "bato bato sa langit ang tamaan wag magagalit, ang pikon ay lagi pong talo..."

Misunderstandings do not come from here. Reading from previous posts, the attack always come from them. And then, mostly they would storm in by two or three forumers versus one. That has been the strategy I have always seen every argument. See for the latest in the previous one or two page. I think that's how aggressive they can be. In fact, reading between the lines, you would really see how the arguments become senseless as egos are already limitless.

MisOr farmers on spotlight at Capitol expo (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/cag/2008/09/06/bus/misor.farmers.on.spotlight.at.capitol.expo.html)

VAST tracts of agricultural and idle lands in Misamis Oriental can still be transformed into profitable vegetable production areas, according to the Northern Mindanao Vegetable Producers' Association (NorminVeggies).

This, despite the steady influx of manufacturing and industrial locators and the expansion of commercial ventures and business activities along the coastlines of Macajalar and Gingoog bays.

Areas devoted to agriculture, particularly on farming, still account for some 186,534 hectares - mostly in relatively high elevations - with the predominantly agricultural and landlocked town of Claveria getting the biggest chunk of 82,999 hectares.

Claveria and the municipalities of Balingasag, Salay, Sugbongcogon and Opol, and Gingoog City, are among the 36 potential sites for vegetable production in Mindanao, which were identified by NorminVeggies in its book, The Vegetable Production Areas in Mindanao that was published last year (2007).

The book mentioned of the high-value vegetables that are being produced and these include Claveria's broccoli, carrots and radish, Balingasag's cucumber and bunchy onions, Salay's ginger and Gingoog's lettuce while Sugbongcogon farmers also grow carrots, broccoli, lettuce and sweet bell peppers.

Production areas

In Claveria, the leading vegetable producing barangays include Lanise, Tamboboan, Madaguing, Parmbugas, Malagana, Pelaez, Sta. Cruz, Luna and Poblacion, all of these situated some 350 to 2,500 meters above sea level.

Gingoog, on the other hand, has barangays San Luis, Bal-ason and Lunotan where residents are engaged in vegetable growing. Lunotan, which is 950 meters above sea level, and located about 18 kilometers from the city proper, is the main producer of lettuce.

Specific vegetable-producing barangays in Sugbongcogon are Minbuahan, Ampianga, Kidampas and Kaulayanan while Salay has barangays Matampa, Bunal and Saray.

In Balingasag, vegetable farmers are found in barangays Mandangoa, Talusan, Napaliran, Waterfall, and Isidro - all of them are found at the foot of Mount Balatukan, the highest elevation of which is estimated at 2,328 meters above sea level.

Aside from high-value crops, they also plant baguio beans, Chinese cabbage, sweet peas, tomatoes, cabbage, ampalaya, eggplant, okra and chayote in commercial scale.

NorminVeggies observed that the vegetables that are harvested in Misamis Oriental often find their way, through traders and farmers association and cooperatives, to public markets and groceries in Cagayan de Oro, Butuan, Surigao and even Cebu.

'Kurambos' approach

Last Monday, during the opening of the five-day 1st Mindanao Vegetable Expo, which incidentally was also the start of the Tourism Week celebration and the quarterly Salo-Tabo agro-industrial fair at the provincial capitol ground, NorminVeggies president Marcelino Remotigue lauded Misamis Oriental Governor Oscar Moreno for the latter's continuing support to agricultural programs and projects in the province.

Mr. Remotigue cited Governor Moreno's linkages with government agencies, particularly the Department of Agriculture, in the ongoing construction of farm-to-market roads, irrigation projects, and other forms of assistance to farmers that could boost technology transfer, increase in production, and systematic marketing of produce.

NorminVeggies' observation was also shared by Regional Director Lealyn Ramos in her talk during the occasion, adding that Governor Moreno was quite effective in "pulling and pooling" of resources which the governor describes, in the local dialect, as "kurambos".

Director Ramos went on by urging NorminVeggies to continually conduct researches on farm technologies, including post-harvest concerns and marketing, and have these disseminated to vegetable farmers.

In his message, Governor Moreno said the Provincial Government is fortunate because of the presence of agencies and organizations that are supportive to its development programs and projects.

"We will do what we can in the Provincial Government. But we cannot fully realize the aspirations of our people, the farmers in particular, without you," said the Provincial Governor.

Aside from Department of Agriculture-Northern Mindanao Director Ramos, Regional Director Catalino Chan III of the Department of Tourism (DOT), and Regional Director Petrona Bergado of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration Region 10 also graced the regular Monday's flag-raising ceremony at the Provincial Capitol.

The opening program of the 1st Mindanao Vegetable Expo was highlighted by the ceremonial ribbon-cutting and then, the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between NorminVeggies and Philam Foundation, with Governor Moreno and Director Ramos as principal witnesses.

Philam Foundation Executive Director Maximillan Ventura, who signed the MOA and subsequently turned over a P600,000 cheque to NorminVegggies, through its president, said the amount is part of the P1.2 million loan that they are committed to release, in support of the farmers in Misamis Oriental and the rest of Northern Mindanao.

Mr. Ventura said the Philam Foundation recognizes the initiatives of Governor Moreno in creating conducive climate for vegetable industry stakeholders in the province as well as the continuing assistance that the Department of Agriculture regional office 10 has been extending.

Also witnessing the MOA signing was Mr. Celso Alejo Enriquez of the Growth with Equity in Mindanao (GEM) project, a USAID-assisted organization tasked to extend technical assistance to farmer beneficiaries. (Press release)

THE Kahimunan Mindanao 2008: Mindanao Island Fair highlighted the potentials of Mindanao SME's best products to capture a significant market in a four-day exposition last August 22 to 25 at the Atrium, Limketkai Center, Cagayan de Oro City.

Preliminary reports showed that total sales generated during the event amounted to P26.45 million, 32.7 percent higher than the targeted sales of P20 million.

Central Mindanao earned the highest sales amounting to P10.8 million, which is 40.82 percent of the total sales. Northern Mindanao ranked second with P7.96 million or 30.10 percent of the total sales. Caraga region followed at P6.55 million, 24.78 percent of total sales with 29 sellers coming from that region.

The top three sellers from Caraga were: Ocean Bounties, seafood producer from Surigao City, registering P5.53 million sales topping the roll in overall sales for the region. Rayda Woodcraft, from Surigao del Sur, followed the list with total overall sales of P20 million. Batrebun Multi Purpose Cooperative, a wood furniture producer from Agusan del Sur, ranked third with P13 million.

Caraga Handicraft Makers Association Inc. (CHMAI) of Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte, on the other hand, was awarded the Best Dressed Booth for Arts & Crafts.

Batrebun MPC (Agusan del Sur), Wild Trends (Agusan del Sur) and RJ Woods (Agusan del Norte) were also nominated for Best Dressed Booth for Furniture.

Exhibitors from Caraga include makers of food items, fashion accessories, gifts, toys and house wares, and wood furniture. The fair showcased the best products of the island and highlighted the one town one product or Otops in the Mindanao Region.

Among the products highlighted during the fair, the gifts and handicrafts sector like the T'nalak, handmade paper and sinamay-based products got the biggest share of 61.89 percent of the overall sales. The processed food products, examples of which are the tuna value-added products and the processed meat earned 35.72 percent of the total sales.

A total of 123 exhibitors from Western, Northern, Southern, and Central Mindanao, as well as Caraga converged and displayed assorted products at the Kahimunan Mindanao 2008.

Two prestigious groups of buyers coordinated by the Bureau of Domestic Trade (BDT) and the Advocate of Philippine Fair Trade Inc. (APFTI) graced the event and had business matching sessions with the producers. Booked sales from the business matching activities accounted to more than 80 percent of the total sales generated.

Regional day presentations, technical sessions and financing services marked the first three days of the trade fair.

The One Barangay One Product (Obop) Program of Representative Rufus Rodriguez of the 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro was launched during the fair. Rodriguez emphasized that he was impressed and inspired by the success of the One Town One Product (Otop) Program, thus the launching of the OBOP in his district.

The live talk show, which was guested in by five successful SMEs from the regions, was very informative especially to those who plan to open their own businesses. Their humble beginnings and their triumphs were discussed during said talk show, which was hosted by the GMA Kapuso DJs.

Organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)-Northern Mindanao, Kahimunan Mindanao 2008 was conducted in partnership with Promote CDO Foundation, BDT, APFTI, Philippine Exporters Confederation Inc. (Philexport)-Northern Mindanao, Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), Ayala Alegria Hills, and GMA Network.

The Kahimunan Mindanao 2008 was supported by the Regional Development Council (RDC) of Northern Mindanao, headed by Governor Jurdin Jesus Romualdo of Camiguin, the local government units all over Mindanao, congressman Teofisto Guingona III, 2nd District of Bukidnon, Rodriguez, Governor Oscar Moreno of Misamis Oriental, and the host, City Mayor Constantino Jaraula.

ive read about this a few months back but i thought that club ultima made a mistake when they included cdeo in their website.

Pero kung nagkamali talaga they should have edited it, malay natin. Pero nakita ko din yung upcoming projects nila & sadly wala pa yung sa CdeO or even sa ibang parte ng Mindanao maliban sa Davao. Yung Boracay Hotel & Convention Center will be completed by 2010 if I'm not mistaken, & that would be their 3rd property sa Boracay....

expect the unexpected when Hanjin is already done... 40,000 jobs plus more Koreans means more cash inflow and more potential investments.

hindi talaga malalayo yan, with sound policies from your city not counting with it the development of your Lumbia area into a new city, then, many hotels will come in.

Dedication of Divine Mercy statue at El Salvador set (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/cag/2008/09/08/news/dedication.of.divine.mercy.statue.at.el.salvador.set.html)

THE Divine Mercy Foundation Mindanao (Philippines) Inc., together with the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro, cordially invites everyone to a triple grand celebration on Monday at the Divine Mercy Hills in PSB-Ulaliman, El Salvador City.

The highlights of the event will be the solemn dedication and blessing of the 50-foot Divine Mercy statue, the formal turnover of the statue to the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro and the birthday of our Blessed Mother Mary.

The event is the biggest celebration in the Divine Mercy Hills and could not have been more perfectly timed for the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro is commemorating its diamond jubilee year too.

The Divine Mercy statue, so far the tallest Divine Mercy statue in the world, will be formally turned over to the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro represented by Archbishop Antonio Ledesma.

The occasion will also welcome the collaborating presence of the Marians of the Immaculate Concepcion Fathers from Stockbridge, Mass to be the administrator and custodian of the statue and the Church of Mercy. There will be a Filipino priest counterpart since the Polish priests are still unable to speak Cebuano or Tagalog dialects.

Divine Mercy Hills is a project inspired by God. His presence is mysteriously felt in the place as miracles of healing and conversion are continuously experienced by many. Since its discovery and development in 2003, there is a steady rise of pilgrims from all over the country. The forthcoming event will also usher in pilgrims and visitors from foreign shores like Poland, United States, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Preceding the celebration was a three-day symposium, which will be held at the Coco Ridgeview Chapel.

The first day of the symposium focused on the importance of the Eucharistic celebration, Marian topics were discussed on the second day and Divine Mercy essentials were explained on the third day.

Among the topics and speakers were as follows: Divine Mercy and the Holy Eucharist by Rev. Joe Roesch; The Eucharist and Social Justice by Rev. Florencio Salvador; Role of Mary in the Works of Divine Mercy (Mother of Mercy) by Roesch; Mary, True Model of Discipleship by Msgr. Rey Monsanto; Church's Guidelines on Marian Devotions by Salvador; The Life and Virtues of St. Faustina Kowalska by Rev. Seraphim Michalenko; The Essence and Urgency of the Divine Mercy Message by Michalenko; and a personal testimony by Rev. Donald Callaway.

Likewise, there were various musical presentations in honor of the Divine Mercy and the Blessed Virgin Mary by the five Divine Mercy ecclesiastical provinces of Mindanao.

The main celebrant of the September 8 mass will be Ledesma with Archbishop Emeritus Jesus Tuquib as con-celebrant. The homilist will be Cotabato Archbishop Orlando Quevedo.

After the communion prayer, the turnover rite will begin.

Following the blessing will be the decree of establishment as diocesan shrine, shower of petals and confetti, release of balloons, street dancing and floral offering.

Sponsors for the statue's construction include Capitol University matriarch Laureana Rosales, lawyer Guerrero and spouse Paquita Adaza, Uy Yan Ping, Lydia Uy, retired Col. Edsel and spouse Rosario Salvaña and statue sculptor Nicanor Reyes and his team. (Press release)

Misamis Oriental vegetables group eyes unused lands to boost production
(http://www.bworldonline.com/BW090808/content.php?id=055)

CAGAYAN DE ORO — Plans are under way to convert idle agricultural lands in Misamis Oriental into vegetable production areas, officials of the Northern Mindanao Vegetable Producers’ Association (NorMin Veggies) said during the five-day 1st Mindanao Vegetable Expo held last week in this city.

There are about 186,534 hectares of unused agricultural areas along the coastline of Macajalar and Gingoog bays, the group said in a statement. In the nearby town of Claveria, up to 82, 999 hectares of potentially productive land have yet to be cultivated.

At least 36 potential sites for vegetable production are being considered by NorMin Veggies, it was underscored during the vegetable trade event.

The statement quoted NorMin Veggies president Marcelino Remotique as saying that Misamis Oriental governor Oscar Moreno has been helpful in linking his group with government agencies in order to push agricultural projects and programs, particularly construction of farm-to-market roads, irrigation projects, and farmer assistance to boost high-value crops.

Lealyn Ramos, Department of Agriculture-Northern Mindanao regional director, urged NorMin Veggies to continue its research on farm technologies, marketing, and post-harvest concerns of vegetable farmers.

NorMin Veggies officials said locally harvested high-value crops in Misamis Oriental are supplied to public markets and groceries in Cagayan de Oro as well as the cities of Butuan, Surigao and Cebu.

The group has received technical assistance from the United States Agency for International Development-funded Growth with Equity in Mindanao in previous years.

In the same event, NorMin Veggies and Philam Foundation signed an agreement for the latter to provide technical assistance to the local vegetables producers group. — PLPC

Mayor Jaraula Welcomed The Proposed Dev’t Of “Paseo Del Rio” Designed By A World-renown Architect (http://www.cagayandeoro.gov.ph/?page=news&id=1380)
by Ian A. Fuentes/ City Information Office

City Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula today welcomed the proposed architectural design of world-renown architect Felino “Jun” Falafox Jr. to develop “Paseo del Rio”- an ambitious riverfront mixed use development of a 10-hectare property owned by the Pelaez family at barangay Macasandig, this city.

Once realized, Mayor Jaraula told City Hall officials and employees during Monday’s flag raising ceremony that the project will certainly emerge as Cagayan de Oro City’s newest growth area within the urban center. The City Mayor, at the same time, expressed optimism that the “Paseo del Rio” project or translated as “promenade by the river”, will stimulate the development of Cagayan de Oro as a globally-competitive city and put the city in the global tourism map. Commissioned by the family of Dr. Rafaelita P. Pelaez to craft the project’s architectural design and overall concept, Mayor Jaraula said Falafox is currently ranked at No. 94 out of the top 500 architects throughout the world. The multi-million “Paseo del Rio” project, that will cover open areas surrounding Carmen/Nazareth/Macasandig Bridge, will also complement with Mayor Jaraula’s flagship river boulevard development project which he is boldly pursuing along the riverbank of the Cagayan de Oro River. The initial phase of the “Boulevard” along the river bank will consist of a 600-meter “walkway” from City Hall up to the city’s fifth bridge and a “Boulevard” from Toribio Chaves Street to J.R. Borja Street, about one kilometer, to be known as the “Golden Mile”. In his presentation before the members of the City Council on Monday’s regular session, Falafox said the proposed project is designed… “as a place where people can walk, shop and dine in one walkable community…” Applying his vast expertise in modern urban planning and design, Palafox said the concept of the “Paseo del Rio” is a multi-use approach of development in the project site that will boosts of high-rise waterfront and medium-size hotels, restaurants, mixed-use commercial and business centers, playground, covered walkways, gazebo, rotunda, underground parking, and many amenities and recreational facililities. Once fully developed, the project can generate employment to about 30,000 to 50,000 people, according to Falafox.

Info: Another construction beside the closed Estrella Hotel along Julio Pacana Street. Lots of excavation in the site and long steel bars being loaded kanina...I think the lot stretches at the back of Sacred Heart of Jesus Montessori School up to Gaisano City parking lot.
:cheers:

Graphics Bldg. Construction: This is located right beside the Graphics Building fronting Floirendo property. IMO, it's an expansion of the Graphics Building.

The City Council Session today will be replayed on Saturday morning on RPN TV 5 so local peeps can watch it.

Misamis gets back at Taguig (http://www.mb.com.ph/SPRT20080908134587.html)

TAGUIG – Patrick Cabahug returned with a vengeance Saturday to lead the Misamis Oriental Meteors to a 76-68 upset of the Taguig Batang Global that leveled at one game apiece their Smart-Liga Pilipinas best-of-five semifinal series at the C.P. Tinga gym here.

The playoffs now move to the Meteors’ homecourt at Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro for Games 3 and 4, with Misamis Oriental looking to clinch a finals berth in front of its followers.

A fifth and deciding game will be played at the C.P. Tinga gym, if necessary.

Cabahug, nephew of PBA great Elmer Cabahug, exploded for 25 points, including 7 of 8 from the free throw line, as the Meteors broke away from a tight first quarter by outscoring the Batang Global, 21-13.

The first half saw four deadlocks and six lead changes.

Taguig took the series opener, 92-77, but failed to produce the same intensity in Game 2, surrendering homecourt advantage to the revved-up Meteors, who were clearly inspired by the return of Cabahug.

Indisposed last Friday, Cabahug shot 8 of 18 from inside the three-point arc, had two rebounds, four assists and three steals. Ruel Hugnatan grabbed nine rebounds for Misamis Oriental, which picked up 18 points from 19 Taguig turnovers.

Four Taguig players were in double figures, but Ronnie Matias, who had 22 points in the opener, was held down to 13, while point guard Lou Gatumbato just had five points after scoring 17 in the first game.

Nino Marquez and Boyet Bautista each had 14 points for the Batang Global.

The Scores:

MISAMIS ORIENTAL 76 – Cabahug 26, Caputolan 12, Hugnatan 8, Paterno 7, Echavez 6, Concha 4, Tagupa 3, Grijaldo 2, Moreno 2, Franco 2, Nailon 2, Pupos 2.

TAGUIG 68 – Marquez 14, Bautista 14, Matias 13, Ortiguerra 12, Reguerra 5, Gatumbato 5, Aldave 2, Latoreno 2, Rodriguez 1, Bombeo 0.

Quarters: 19-18, 40-31, 55-53, 76-68.

Mindanao’s only coal-fired power plant reports zero emission violation (http://www.businessmirror.com.ph/09082008/economy08.html)

By Willy Rodolfo III
Reporter

VILLANUEVA, Misamis Oriental—Mindanao’s first and only coal-fired power plant reported zero emission violation since it started operation in November 2006.

According to STEAG State Power Inc. (SSPI) plant manager Oliver Brock, the company is also making sure the plant does not have to shut down unexpectedly being a baseload plant.

“We strictly follow our schedule for preventive maintenance so we won’t have bigger problems later on,” Brock told reporters who visited the plant inside the Phividec Industrial Estate.

One of the two 105-megawatt coal-fired units of STEAG is set for preventive maintenance check by November this year which will last for a few weeks, Brock said.

To allay fears of coal plants emitting harmful toxic and greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere, STEAG is the only power plant in the country equipped with a real-time continuous emission monitoring system, which is connected to the Environment Management Bureau in Cagayan de Oro City.

The system allows government regulators to monitor 24/7 the plant’s emission levels for sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and other gasses.

“This shows our commitment to deliver power but also to protect our host community and the environment,” communications officer Jermoe Soldevilla said.

SSPI is owned by Germany’s STEAG GmBH which holds a 55-percent stake, Aboitiz Power Corp. with 34 percent and State Investment Trust Inc. with 11 percent.

The coal plant supplies 20.51 percent of Mindanao’s power demand and just came online just in time as the island needed critical energy to feed its economic growth.

The island continues to rely much on renewable hydroelectric power sources, which covers for half of the island’s power needs and geothermal plants, which contributes 11 percent.

SSPI sits on a 55-hectare property in the town of Villanueva, about an hour east of Cagayan de Oro City.

Flip Flops Fanatic Filipina (http://honeycaragos.blogspot.com/2008/09/flip-flops-fanatic-filipina.html)

It’s FRIDAY!!! I look forward to weekends. Why? Because I call my Saturdays and Sundays as my Havianas days. Every day I wear closed shoes and heels and it’s such a wonderful feeling to go around malls or doing stuff feeling comfortable and carefree. Ever since I discovered the comfort of wearing these stylish flip flops, I never stopped looking forward to getting another pair. Style and comfort is always something we would like to give ourselves for working really hard during the week, right? Anyhoo, I just got word from the grapevine that Spruce at Limketkai Center and All Flip Flops here in Cagayan de Oro is going to release and put on the shelves the Havianas special edition and other limited designs. Here’s a quick intro as to what you dear Havaianaticos would sure want to know about:

First in line are the Havaianas Slim Chitaos.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uL4GYS_ZTcQ/SMDtY0jSM2I/AAAAAAAACFA/Rin5V5tIyMQ/s320/114.jpg

700 years ago, the Chita floral print from India (14th century) was brought to Brazil. Inspired by its art, the Brazilians printed the Chitao design, which is the bigger version of the original Chita flower prints. The main characteristics of this design were its bright colored flowers and strong graphic outline. This print and fabric then became a reflection of the laid back Brazilian and “tropicalismo” (an avant-garde moment) in the 60s. Today, this design and print is also the inspiration for the Slim Chitao designs which is part of this new lineup.

Illusion Swirl, Havies Logo, Slim Basic Special, Logo Filete and Top Bicolor are the other limited designs that I’m sure you would be interested in as well.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uL4GYS_ZTcQ/SMDtYrX2AdI/AAAAAAAACE4/yIic8xPOfQY/s320/043.jpg

I’m getting the Illusion Swirl .. with the pink straps … awwww :P So go!!! Get your new pair now … remember, supplies are limited.

BLOOMINGDALE SUBDIVISION will also be using the CAST-IN-PLACE WALL SYSTEM "a US technology" in building construction after successfully used it in our last project Westfield Homes. This is a method where the entire wall of a building is shaped with steel forms; these steel forms are aligned, anchored and braced to ensure its stability. Reinforcement, plumbing and electrical preparations are installed and imbedded within, before fresh concrete is poured. The result is a solid concrete wall with much higher strength than the conventional hollow block, and with accurate alignment of walls.

speaking of our LOCALS, is there any future projects from Ororama and Gaisano? dapat gumawa rin sila ng strip mall sa bandang Bulua or Puerto/Bugo area, para di na sila mag commute (residents) sa dowtown CDO.

^^tama ka bai, I have the same thought dyan sa may puerto area dapat may malls din dyan kasi marami ang tao, lalong -lalo n yong galing sa may tagoloan, villanueva to balingasag area kasi dyan sila namamasyal maraming kasing okay-okay dyan, etc (pero hindi naman okay-okay lang ang binibili ha, just for clarification ex. lang, ) I dont know kung meron pa ngayon, at saka magandang pa welcome din ng mga visitors from bukidnon and misamis or. area pag may mall agad silang makita dyan......pero may kutob din talaga ako na may mag invest dyan especially pag officially mag start na ang hanjin.

GUYS, I just saw the presentation of PELAEZ family and Jun PALAFOX over PARASAT's live coverage of the 61st regular session of the CITY COUNCIL.

They presented the entire PROJECT PLAN of the new BUSINESS DISTRICT in Cagayan de oro city using a powerpoint presentation...

The project is very nice consist of COMERCIAL BUILDINGS several hotels (more or less 2or 3)
a underground parking area under the ROTUNDA but I don't have yet have the image of the proposals but difinetly a HIGHRISE structures (probably taller than the NOVOTEL) a boulevard connecting the propose boulevard of mayor JARAULA, a WALKWAYS similar to the walkways of the other country which MR. PALOFOX also made the design.And the Business park will be name as

PASEO DEL RIO

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

So this is the project that was mentioned by a good friend of mine (gregorio o. pelaez III) last june with a smile on his face... hmmm.... Well, this calls for a CELEBRATION. :cheers: I am happy and excited for this project as this would attract more tourists and investors. This would definitely give lots of boons for CdeO including its neighboring cities and provinces like Iligan and Misamis Oriental. Take note, they would put up a high rise. Ilang floors kaya?And I agree, this project deserves a separate thread. Padayon Cdeo! Padayon Normin!

Constantino Jaraula: one creative city mayor

CONSTANTINO Jaraula. Does this name ring a bell to you?

Well, the guy is best known as the distinguished member of the House
of Representatives who crafted one proposed legislation after another
in a frenzied attempt to change the 1987 Constitution in what was
perceived by many as an urgent maneuvering to enable President Arroyo
to remain in power beyond 2010.

But, Constantino "Tinnex" Jaraula, at present the mayor of Cagayan De
Oro City, is now fast shaping up to be one very creative local chief
executive.

Realizing his city has no money to pursue its ambitious projects to
propel it into becoming an economic tiger of Mindanao and of the whole
country in only three years from his election in 2007, Mayor Jaraula,
inspite of his being a mere first termer, has come up with a novel and
a very bold and daring plan that, he believes, would easily bring
Php40 billion into his city's coffers in no time at all.

Over a hurried cup of coffee at the Grand Regal Hotel in Davao City
last Saturday, August 31, 2008, while waiting for Manila Rotarians
whom he will accompany to a sortie in Duterte territory, Mayor Tinnex
told me that his plan will not require him to secure loans from
anyone, whether from the government or from any private bank or
lending institution. .

It will not also entail huge capital expenditures on the part of the
city, he assures me and another fellow Rotarian, Past President Rose
Imperial of the Rotary Club of Diliman North.

Great. So how does "Hizzoner" intend to do it?

ooo

THIS IS how: Mayor Tinnex will be rehabilitating the Cagayan De Oro
River which slices through the city from the open sea, reclaim its
banks, then convert a portion of the reclaimed area into a new
pedestrian thoroughfare, and then parcel out the remaining portions to
business concessionaires.

His computation, apparently arrived at even long before I met him
last Saturday, of how much these concessionaires would be paying the
city for the right to do business at the reclaimed banks of the
Cagayan de Oro River certainly approximates his target amount of Php40
billion.

Well, with so much money, I guess Mayor Tinnex would then be able to
really do something for his city so it could make a difference during
these difficult times, a dream which he has entertained even when he
was yet a councilor of the city some 30 or 40 years ago.

I was, by God's grace, in Singapore last May, and I noticed that part
of that city state's pride and source of great commercial and economic
activity is the river where the Merlion stands, which, with much
government support, is now used as a major means of transport.

If plans do not miscarry for the Mayor of Cagayan De Oro City, he
might even surpass what the Singaporean government did.

Perhaps, other local chief executives in the Philippines can emulate
the example of Tinnex, for a change?

For, whether Mayor Constantino Jaraula is aware of it or not, what he
is doing as the chief executive of Cagayan De Oro City approximates
the Biblical admonition of the Lord Jesus Christ to leaders and men in
authority: "…whoever wants to become great among you must be your
servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all…: (Mark
10:43, 44).

Meteors to host Game 3 (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/cag/2008/09/09/sports/meteors.to.host.game.3.html)

IT'S literally back to square one for semifinalists Misamis Oriental Meteors and Taguig Batang Global when Liga Pilipinas basketball action shifts at the Xavier University gym here on September 10.

The Governor Oscar S. Moreno-backed Meteors defeated the favored Taguig, 76-68 at the C.P. Tinga gym in Taguig last Saturday to level their best-of-five series at 1-all.

"Taguig is a tough team to beat. They too have great stamina and very like us (run-and-gun team)," said Misor's venerable coach, Jun Noel.

Taguig won Game 1 by rout, 92-77 when Ronnie Matias exploded for 22 points on a night when the Batang Global's defense held the Meteors to 32 percent shooting.

It was the turn, however, of MisOr's newcomer Patrick Cabahug to shine Game 2. The youthful Cabahug, a nephew of PBA great Elmer Cabahug, came away with 26 points to reduce the semifinal showdown into a best-of-3 series.

The odds are likely to put the home squad in good stead, as Provincial Information Office head Maricel Casiño Rivera revealed that Game will also be played at the XU gym on September 11 (Thursday).

"We have the homecourt advantage and the Meteors will try to clinch a finals berth in front of their followers," Rivera told Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro.

A fifth and deciding game will be played at C.P. Tinga gym, if necessary.

Statistically, Batang Global which averages 84.8 points per game -- the 4th in the league -- is entering the semis with an edge over the Meteors' 74.5 points a game but the latter has proven to be among the top defensive teams in the league.

The Holcim-Hanjin-Happe Toothpaste-bankrolled Meteors ranks second in defense by limiting its opponents to only 73.5 points a game, 25.4 points per game from field goals and 5.4 points per game from beyond the arc. Also, the team has been averaging 6.2 offensive steals per game, led by its ace pointguard Ramil Tagupa, whose 4.8 assists per game is fifth overall.

While Batang Global's Niño Marquez and Boyet Bautista are among the top three point shooters, connecting more than 44 percent of their attempts, Meteors' small forward Jerome Paterno has been lording it over in the three-point shot department at 47.8 percent while power forward Ruel Hugnatan is 49.2 percent in field-goal shooting.

Also, the Meteors will also be relying on its deep bench, which has been contributing more than 50 percent of the team's point productions. In eliminating the Explorers, the Meteors bench contributed 39 points while the starters only produced 30.

64 Years Ago (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/cag/2008/09/09/life/64.years.ago.html)
By A. Paulita Roa
Past Speaks

(First of two parts)

FR. JAMES Edward Haggerty, S.J., was the Rector of Ateneo de Cagayan when World War II broke out on December 8, 1941. He later joined and became a key figure in the vast guerrilla movement in Mindanao. He was popularly called "Padre" by American and Filipino soldiers. He later wrote about his war experiences in a book, Guerrilla Padre.

On September 8, 1944, American planes started bombing areas around Cagayan that were controlled by the Japanese Imperial Army. Fr. Haggerty witnessed this on a hill just outside the town. He brought with him a surveyor's transit and a tripod so he could take a closer look at the bombed areas. In a chapter of his book entitled, The Planes Are Ours, he vividly wrote about what he saw and the people he encountered in the closing months of war in Cagayan:

September 8th

Major Fidencio Laplap took his new 81 millimeter trench mortar, just arrived from Australia, sneaked into position, and shelled the Lumbia Airfield about three miles from our house.

We watched from our hill and through a transit could see that one plane was destroyed. But the transit and the tripod made a good target for the Japs, so they shelled us with artillery.

Then they sent out two planes to strafe and bomb us. No one was hit.

September 9th

It began just as I was finishing Mass - this wonderful day. A roar of planes - many planes - swept over us just before the end of the Mass. I turned around and told my congregation to take cover. I unvested and stepped down into a little creek, which formed into a tunnel. Strangely, I felt no fear this time, although from a number of planes and the nearness of the bombing, I thought that the Japs were beginning a really systematic clean-up of guerrillas.

To my amazement my boys dashed breathlessly happy down to our hill to our gully.

"Our planes! Our planes!" they shouted. "The Jap airfields are both on fire! The planes dived at the wharf of Cagayan! The town is on fire; ships are exploding in the bay."

I ran up the hill, saw great black columns of smoke at the Lumbia Airfield at Kilometer Seven - then explosions at the Patag Airfield. But the planes were gone.

The boys said there had been about 40 of them - "and how they dived - not like those old Jap training planes that machine-gunned us - those were real planes!" The hills around us, each had its little group who had climbed out of their hiding places as the news swept around. Even now they were jumping up and down, and cheers came from far away on the breeze. They knew it was America's day, and in delirium they shouted over at me: "Father, Father, America has kept her promise to return."

Two hours later another roar grew louder out of the east. Racing up the hill we counted the high tiny specks rushing nearer - twelve, sixteen, eighteen, more, more the sky full of them as they circled. We caught the glint of silver wings, the dark marking on the wingtips - carrier planes - carrier planes.

They dived from all directions, and as the thick smoke rolled up they flashed in and out of it - one of the most beautiful sights, it seemed, I have ever seen. A little off to the right, I knew was the college, and the big gymnasium that the students themselves had helped to build. It was our pride; the only one outside Manila. From that direction the smoke was thickest, and I felt not even a pang of regret - it was the Japanese stronghold.

Three hours later, planes return for another pounding. Now the whole horizon was filled with billows of smoke. For hours explosion after explosion has continued. Just now fourteen hours after the first attack, the sky above Cagayan is aglow and a heavy black pall hangs over the area for miles. Occasionally still an explosion like a bursting shell roars out, and the flames leap high again.

It has been a happy day!

I am typing out many notices to be spread in the town tonight for the attention of the Japanese. I am getting an impish "kick" out of this. I have no ribbon on the machine, but carbon paper writer on the second, third and fourth sheets.

The notices read:

Yesterday, you bombed us with two planes. Today we retaliated with eighty-two. It you try again, we'll double the number.

The Mountain Scorpions

The Japs never bombed us again.

My diary broke off abruptly there; but the planes came back again the next day, Sunday, and one time we counted eighty-two. A day later the Bishop's former cook showed up at my place with a soldier and asked me if I would be his guarantor. People were pouring now out of the occupied areas trying to get behind guerrilla lines. If their names were not on the black list they were placed in concentration; if not, some trusted civilian had to stand guarantor for them. Many of the people now rushing out had played both sides: they had worked for the enemy, yet pretended to send us out information usually useless. The weak-kneed had gone in because they wanted electric lights, running water, good houses and streets instead of mud. Riff-raff had gone with the Japs because they liked the low-class cabarets the Japs always opened. Others saw chances to amass a fortune. A few actually believed the Japs would win. Some were forced in by Japanese patrols.

Many were sacadas, captured for forced labor, the first to reach our lines. They had nothing to carry, they had been ill treated by their captors; and they, having lived among patriot forces before, had no fear of us, knowing the Japanese propaganda about us to be false; that we were not bandits, killers, starving, naked desperadoes.

Esteban, Bishop Hayes' former cook, was one of these sacadas. He had been cooking breakfast for others like him at a Japanese garrison when the planes came on Saturday.

He pointed to the sky, and the Jap sergeant said, "Ours!" proudly.

Then the planes dived and the sergeant, less emphatically, said: "Practicing."

The planes blazed death out of their cannon and machine guns, and the Japs ran shouting: "No goor - American!"

Other Japs, in four different places, were doing their morning calisthenics and bowing in reverence towards the rising sun. The planes mowed them down. Gunners abandoned their anti-aircraft in panic. Later, they lost their heads and fired crazily at the planes with revolvers and rifles. (To be continued)

speaking of our LOCALS, is there any future projects from Ororama and Gaisano? dapat gumawa rin sila ng strip mall sa bandang Bulua or Puerto/Bugo area, para di na sila mag commute (residents) sa dowtown CDO.

Way back 2006, Mayor Vicente Emano (now vice mayor) encouraged Don Stephen Gaisano to put up a shopping center in Puerto to decongest somehow the traffic (especially at CM Recto Highway).

I don't know now what's in Stephen's mind. :)

Paseo del Rio was featured yesterday at Northern Mindanao TV Patrol. Ms. Raphaelita Pelaez-Golez and Mr. Jun Palofox presented the awesome masterplan. With no hesitation, all city counselors approved the proposed commercial complex then.

I had seen some highrises and midrises and an underground parking lot (the Pelaez Commercial Complex) at the vicinity of Kagay-an Bridge.

Meanwhile, two highrises higher than LKK Novotel towers will be put also at the vicinity of Pelaez bridge. ^^

Nasaan na ang mga ebidesnya para makagawa na tayo ng separate thread for that. :D:D Hanap tayo sa news print or online news article (kanang news na dili quoted from the third party) regarding their press release and most specifically the masterplan of that project. :cheers::cheers::cheers:

I can say the "phenomenal economy" of CdeO nowadays can be attributed more to former mayor Vicente Emano.

Mayor Jaraula is also good for "focusing more to improve CdeO's tourism industry and having this social outreach program."

But Donkoy will be back again 2 years from now to leave a legacy even greater than former mayor Justiano Borja. No chance for Pimentel-Magtajas-Uy Camp. These 3 politicians have no vision for CdeO. :colgate:

Jaraula Orders Closure, Cancellation Of Permits Vs 7 Phone Shops For Selling Low-quality Units (http://www.cagayandeoro.gov.ph/?page=news&id=1382)
by Ian A. Fuentes/ City Information Office

Seven cellular phone shops in Cagayan de Oro City were ordered closed effective immediately by the City Government after reportedly selling inferior quality units and other electronic gadgets.

This developed after City Mayor Constantino “Tinnex” Jaraula issued Executive Order No. 2008 CGJ-54 dated August 26, 2008, ordering the cancellation of business permits and immediate closure against the business establishments owned and operated by spouses Kevin Tiu and Emily Zhang or her father Jose Entote.

In his order, Mayor Jaraula also ordered the prohibition in the issuance of business permits to the said cellular phone shop owners and operators in the future. The seven business establishments subjected to the closure order include the HKK Mobile Center (Chavez Complex, Cogon Area); HKK Mobile Center-Branch 1 (2nd floor Limketkai Mall); HKK Mobile Center-Branch 2 (Ground Floor, Limketkai Mall). Oro Cellshoppe and General Merchandise (Ground Floor, Gaisano Mall); Oro Cellshoppe and General Merchandise-Branch 1 (Limketkai Mall); Oro Cellshoppe and General Merchandise (3rd Floor, Gaisano Mall) and Oro Cellshoppe and General Merchandise-Branch 2 (Limketkai Mall).

The City Mayor’s cancellation of business permits and closure order came after Department of Trade and Industry Provincial Director Ma. Eliza A. Pabillore received a total of 19 different complaints against the said establishments. Despite repeated reminders and warnings from the DTI, the said cellular phone shops reportedly continue to sell low-quality, substandard phones and electronic gadgets. The establishments also refused to honor the warranty they have granted to their consumers nor comply with the requirements on warranty as provided by the Consumer Act of the Philippines and the rules and regulations issued by the National Telecommunications Office to ensure the good quality of the units they sell.

Mayor Jaraula tasked City Police Director P/Sr. Supt. Isagani F. Genabe Jr.; City Treasurer Lino D. Daral and Director Pabilorre to implement his order.

VYE Laments Politicizing In Government Project (http://www.cagayandeoro.gov.ph/?page=news&id=1384)
by Lorebeth C. Requiroso/city Council Office

VICE Mayor Vicente Emano laments that the J.R. Borja bridge project, which was supposed to be implemented through a Spanish grant may not push through after all.

In a press statement, the vice mayor said bidding for the proposed project was all ready but stalled by some politicians."Andam na gayod unta ang pag-bidding sa maong proyekto aron kini masugdan sa pagpatuman. Apan nasudlan sa duha ka politiko, hinungdan nga napalta ang pagpahigayon sa puhada kun bidding sa maong proyekto," he added. The proposed 259-linear meter long bridge project would link the J.R. Borja Street to barangay Carmen.He expressed dismay over how the project has been politicized."Anugon kaayo, tungod lamang sa kahakog sa pipila ka politiko ang maayo nga proyekto magkalangan-langan na hinuon sa pagpatuman," he added. It may be recalled that during his incumbency as the city chief executive, the vice mayor facilitated and lobbied for the implementation of the proposed bridge.

SCHOOL

Meanwhile, the vice mayor said funds for the school building project at the Balubal Community College will soon be available.The Power learned that funding for the project was provided by Senator Allan Peter Cayetano.The vice mayor thanked the senator for the assistance."Ang maong tunghaan gikinahanglan kaayo sa maong barangay labina kay nagdaghan na ang mga estudyante sa kolehiyo nga atong gisugdan sa maong barangay. Ang kantitad bunga usab sa mga paningkamot nila ni Kapitan Pablo Bactong ug mga konsehales ug ni Professor Soc del Rosario," the vice mayor explained. (LCR)

i hate to disagree with you gearX but i think farirah is right. ive been in cdeo all my life. when magtajas was still the mayor of cdeo, cdeo's progress was pretty much close to zilch. eversince emano took over, the city's economic boom was felt. that's why emano is called not only the political kingpin in cdeo but also known as the "investment politician." he went to other cities and countries just to convince huge companies to invest in cdeo and normin. now that he's effort is finally paying off, he's announcing the high rise as well as huge firm investments over the radio and on tv. although im still wondering how he convinced the huge coffers to invest in cdeo, i must admit that im mighty glad that he did. if not for him, cdeo would still be as stagnant as it was 15 to 20 years ago.

farirah, dont worry i believe that emano will seat again as mayor of cdeo and more investors will flock cdeo. what i dont get is why emano is endorsing dixon yasay? its true that yasay is an intelligent politician, because he use to be our moderator in second year high school, but that doesnt mean that he can take on moreno that easily. does this mean that emano and moreno are not on the same team anymore? sayang kaayo!

New entertainment center to rise in Oro

CAGAYAN de Oro City Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula welcomed the proposed architectural design of world-renowned architect Felino "Jun" Falafox Jr. to develop Paseo del Rio - an ambitious riverfront mixed-use development of a 10-hectare property owned by the Pelaez family at Barangay Macasandig. :cheers::cheers::cheers:

Jaraula told City Hall officials and employees during Monday's flag raising ceremony that once realized, the project will emerge as Cagayan de Oro City's newest growth area within the urban center.

The city mayor also expressed optimism that the Paseo del Rio project or translated as promenade by the river, will stimulate the development of Cagayan de Oro as a globally competitive city and put it in the global tourism map.

Commissioned by the family of Dr. Rafaelita Pelaez to craft the project's architectural design and overall concept, Jaraula said Falafox is currently ranked at number 94 out of the top 500 architects throughout the world.

The multi-million-peso Paseo del Rio project that will cover open areas surrounding Carmen/Nazareth/Macasandig Bridge will also complement Jaraula's flagship river boulevard development project, which he is boldly pursuing along the riverbank of the Cagayan de Oro River.

The initial phase of the boulevard along the river bank will consist of a 600-meter walkway from City Hall up to the city's fifth bridge and a boulevard from Toribio Chaves street to J.R. Borja street, about one kilometer, to be known as the Golden Mile.

In his presentation before members of the City Council on Monday's regular session, Falafox said the proposed project is designed "as a place where people can walk, shop, and dine in one walkable community..."

Applying his vast expertise in modern urban planning and design, Falafox said the concept of the Paseo del Rio is a multi-use approach of development in the project site that boosts of high-rise waterfront and medium-sized hotels, restaurants, mixed-use commercial and business centers, playground, covered walkways, gazebo, rotunda, underground parking, and many amenities and recreational facilities. :banana:

Once fully developed, the project can generate employment to about 30,000 to 50,000 people, said Falafox. (CIO)

Cagayan de Oro to develop mixed-used area

http://www.bworldonline.com/BW091008/content.php?id=077
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — The city will embark on a major project to establish a mixed-use business district.

The project’s main feature is the "Golden Mile" boulevard that will be built along the banks of Cagayan River.

The first phase of the project, whose investment requirement is still to be disclosed, will include a 600-meter walkway from city hall linked to another one-kilometer lane from Toribio Chaves St. to J. R. Borja St., and will be part of the city’s central business district.

City Information Officer Ian Fuentes said the local government is still discussing possible additions to the river boulevard project.

City Tourism Officer Emma Rae Gatuslao told BusinessWorld the project seeks to also promote the Cagayan River.

Sources said part of the plan is the construction of city legislative and executive buildings behind city hall, a three-storey library building, a museum and a 360-degree view deck that will be built at the present amphitheater.

Aside from the river boulevard, which was conceived by Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula, the family of Dr. Rafaelita P. Pelaez is also developing a "Paseo del Rio" project near the Carmen/Nazareth bridge.

Felino A Palafox, Jr., a noted architect and urban planner, has been commissioned to take charge of the project design.

He said the project will adopt a "multiple-use approach," adding it will generate about 30,000 to 50,000 jobs once completed. — Penny Lyn P. Cunanan

Nope. IMO CGYanon, dapat hiwalay ang Golden mile at Paseo del Rio. Even if the two projects are connected thru "walkway" but it should given honor separately. Golden mile is a government project and Paseo del Rio is a private one. :okay:?

Bagas hailed as one of RP's outstanding teachers (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/cag/2008/09/10/news/bagas.hailed.as.one.of.rp.s.outstanding.teachers.html)
By Cong B. Corrales

HOW does an outstanding teacher stand out?

After her classroom at the West City Central School in Barangay Carmen was closed down for repairs, Marie Theresse Mabayo Bagas held class for her Grade One students under a nearby mahogany tree.

That is how passionate Bagas, 56, is for the teaching profession.

She is amply awarded when Metrobank Foundation named her one of the ten outstanding teachers in the country, besting 156 teachers who were nominated to the award-giving body.

"(It was) overwhelming," Bagas said of the award.

Her journey as an educator started in 1974 at West City Central School when she was accepted to teach elementary students.

The story of her holding her class under a mango tree is still fresh in Bagas' memory. The mahogany tree still stands inside the school a mute reminder of her passion to give her students a good education.

Visminda Espinosa Rabara, principal of West City Central School, is proud of the honor Bagas brought to this small public school in Barangay Carmen.

"We're proud to show to other schools that we do not only mold pupils into good citizens but also groom the best teachers in the education profession," said Rabara, who was judged as one the country's 15 Outstanding female school principals in the country.

Bagas said Metrobank Foundation notified her last February that they are seriously considering her nomination to the Ten Outstanding Teachers awards.

Metrobank Foundation started checking into her background, even to the extent of going to the Hall of Justice to see if Bagas had a criminal record.

The investigators also interviewed Bagas' neighbors in Fairlane Village, Barangay Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City.

Eventually, the list of nominees was narrowed to only eight, including Bagas. The nominees were interviewed and asked a demonstration of teaching.

The eight nominees were interviewed by a panel of judges led by Department of Education (DepEd) secretary Jesli Lapuz and Senator Allan Cayetano, chair of the Senate committee on education.

"Sa final interview, lisod pud ilang mga pangutana. Igo-igo pud ta panington," Bagas recalled.

Bagas said the judges asked her the question: If she was to choose between global warming and state of economy in the Philippines, which would she choose to address first?

She said she answered by not choosing only one but instead linked both issues, which were inter-related to each other. Bagas said she offered a solution on both.

"Sila na sad ang gipaningot sa pag rate sa akong answer," Bagas said in jest.

According to Metrobank, Bagas bested the other nominees by the way she was able "to maximize" numerous training programs she had attended and used its lessons to improve her teaching.

They also cited her being In-Service Facilitator on seminars in English, Science and Mathematics teaching under the Philippine-Australia Project on Basic Education (PA-Probe) program.

The organizers were also delighted upon learning that Bagas is the class adviser of Grade 6 Narra, considered to be the honors' class of West City Central School.

Bagas is no stranger for awards for outstanding teachers. She was awarded as one of the top 10 Most Outstanding Teachers by Senator Aquilino Pimentel in 2004.

But Bagas cherished most her award with Metrobank Foundation. No less than President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo gave her the gold medallion as her entire family stood by in Malacanang.

"Lahi man gud ning wala ka nag-expect og award," Bagas said. "Daku-daku na diay gyud akong accomplishment ug bawi gyud ang pagkadedikado nato sa atong trabaho."

The Nation
Cagayan de Oro to develop mixed-used area

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — The city will embark on a major project to establish a mixed-use business district.

The project’s main feature is the "Golden Mile" boulevard that will be built along the banks of Cagayan River.

The first phase of the project, whose investment requirement is still to be disclosed, will include a 600-meter walkway from city hall linked to another one-kilometer lane from Toribio Chaves St. to J. R. Borja St., and will be part of the city’s central business district.

City Information Officer Ian Fuentes said the local government is still discussing possible additions to the river boulevard project.

City Tourism Officer Emma Rae Gatuslao told BusinessWorld the project seeks to also promote the Cagayan River.

Sources said part of the plan is the construction of city legislative and executive buildings behind city hall, a three-storey library building, a museum and a 360-degree view deck that will be built at the present amphitheater. :banana:

Aside from the river boulevard, which was conceived by Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula, the family of Dr. Rafaelita P. Pelaez is also developing a "Paseo del Rio" project near the Carmen/Nazareth bridge. :banana:

Felino A Palafox, Jr., a noted architect and urban planner, has been commissioned to take charge of the project design.

He said the project will adopt a "multiple-use approach," adding it will generate about 30,000 to 50,000 jobs once completed. — Penny Lyn P. Cunanan:cheers::cheers::cheers:

New entertainment center to rise in Oro

CAGAYAN de Oro City Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula welcomed the proposed architectural design of world-renowned architect Felino "Jun" Falafox Jr. to develop Paseo del Rio - an ambitious riverfront mixed-use development of a 10-hectare property owned by the Pelaez family at Barangay Macasandig. :cheers::cheers::cheers:

Jaraula told City Hall officials and employees during Monday's flag raising ceremony that once realized, the project will emerge as Cagayan de Oro City's newest growth area within the urban center.

The city mayor also expressed optimism that the Paseo del Rio project or translated as promenade by the river, will stimulate the development of Cagayan de Oro as a globally competitive city and put it in the global tourism map.

Commissioned by the family of Dr. Rafaelita Pelaez to craft the project's architectural design and overall concept, Jaraula said Falafox is currently ranked at number 94 out of the top 500 architects throughout the world.

The multi-million-peso Paseo del Rio project that will cover open areas surrounding Carmen/Nazareth/Macasandig Bridge will also complement Jaraula's flagship river boulevard development project, which he is boldly pursuing along the riverbank of the Cagayan de Oro River.

The initial phase of the boulevard along the river bank will consist of a 600-meter walkway from City Hall up to the city's fifth bridge and a boulevard from Toribio Chaves street to J.R. Borja street, about one kilometer, to be known as the Golden Mile.

In his presentation before members of the City Council on Monday's regular session, Falafox said the proposed project is designed "as a place where people can walk, shop, and dine in one walkable community..."

Applying his vast expertise in modern urban planning and design, Falafox said the concept of the Paseo del Rio is a multi-use approach of development in the project site that boosts of high-rise waterfront and medium-sized hotels, restaurants, mixed-use commercial and business centers, playground, covered walkways, gazebo, rotunda, underground parking, and many amenities and recreational facilities. :banana:

Once fully developed, the project can generate employment to about 30,000 to 50,000 people, said Falafox. (CIO)

Ang sarap ng umaga ko. I'm proud of being NorthMinders (north mindanaoan dahil hindi naman ako Kagay-anon, sa Bukidnon man ako nagdako, ang parents ko taga Opol) 'coz CDO locals are doing good job to put CDO in the limelight of investments. First and foremost pa :D it's our locals lead business activities here. Kung may Ayala ang Pilipinas, may Limketkai ang CDO, and so on... Now, do we or need to be trying hard copycat? IMO NO, we have our own IDENTITY. :cheers::cheers:

RLC close to finalizing P1.6-B purchase of Magnolia plant (http://www.philstar.com/index.php?Business&p=49&type=2&sec=27&aid=2008090912)
By Zinnia B. Dela Peña
Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC), the real estate development arm of the Gokongweis’ JG Summit Holdings Inc., is close to finalizing an agreement with San Miguel Properties Inc. regarding the sale of the latter’s 5.22-hectare property along Aurora Blvd. which houses the Magnolia ice cream plant.

The Magnolia ice cream factory was established in 1925 and has since become a stamping ground for its traditional concoctions like banana splits, sundaes and parfaits.

The deal is expected to be consummated in a week’s time or until all conditions precedent to the sale has been complied with by RLC. The prime Quezon City property is reportedly being sold for around P1.6 billion.

RLC president and chief executive officer Frederick Go said the Magnolia property will be converted into a mixed-use complex with a mall, residential buildings and, possibly, office buildings.

Amid an economic slowdown marked by rising costs of fuel, food and construction materials, RLC is aggressively pursuing major new projects which include 16 shopping malls to be developed over a five-year period; and four residential condominium buildings, six housing subdivisions and two office buildings this year.

RLC is spending around P16 billion for the new shopping centers, four of which will be built this year. All malls will have a BPO component to take advantage of the continued strong demand for office space from call center companies.

For next year, RLC is planning new malls in Dumaguete, Davao and Cebu.

RLC has a pipeline of 29 residential condominiums for construction, targeting to launch at least three projects per year and tap new overseas markets which include Europe and the Middle East.

For its housing and land division, RLC currently has 27 ongoing projects and intends to launch at least three and expansion projects per year to capitalize on the huge housing backlog and continuing growth in the number of households. These projects include Monte Del Sol, Costa Verde, Forest Parkhomes North, Hanalei Heights, Wellington Courtyard, Brighton Parkplace, Blue Coast Residences, Brighton Parkplace North and Montclair Highlands.

Aside from this, RLC will build a 100 to 120 room hotel in a six-hectare property in Tagaytay to be named Summit Ridge.

To fuel its continued growth, the company continues to be on the lookout for prime properties for future development.

RLC earlier acquired five hectares of land with a 170-meter beachfront in Mactan, Cebu which will be converted into a landmark five-star condo-resort.

To expand its reach, RLC has signed joint venture agreements with several landowners for the development of properties totalling 37.8 hectares. These properties are located in Cagayan de Oro, Davao and Bantay, Ilocos Sur.
