The Port of Iloilo serves the province and city of Iloilo and the entire Panay Island, in Western Visayas region of the Philippines. It is located away from the older port facilities on the Southern coast of Panay Island, in the Panay Gulf.

Iloilo harbor is part of the Iloilo Strait bounded by imaginary lines at the north entrance from Dumangas River across the Iloilo Strait to Navalas Point on Guimaras Island and at the southern entrance by an imaginary line extending from the Lusaran Point, Guimaras Island to Surraga River in the municipality of San Joaquin Island of Panay. The shoreline of the two (2) islands define the limits of Iloilo Harbor.

History
The Port has been serving international shipping since at least 1855, handling sugar and fertilizer shipments for the international market. The opening of the Port of Iloilo to the world market in 1855 replaced the disappearing textile industry. The port gave local industry and agriculture a gateway to foreign markets. The sugar industry brought an economic boom to the city and its neighbor island, Negros, and Iloilo became the biggest center of commerce and trade in the Visayas and Mindanao, second only to Manila.

Customs’ take in 12 ports down

Twelve of the 17 Customs ports failed to meet their collection targets for March, records showed.

Topping the list of poor performers last month were the major ports of Manila, Batangas, Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Limay and Manila International Container Port.

Documents showed that PoM suffered a P1.6 billion deficit based on its P5.6 billion goal while Batangas collected only P4.4 billion, down by P1.4 billion as against its P5.8 billion goal.

Naia, on the other hand, is down by P289 million, collecting only P1.9 billion as against its P2.1 billion target while Limay suffered P948 million shortfall based on its P3.5 billion goal, and MICP is down by P2 billion, collecting only P1.9 billion as against its P7.4 billion target.

Other ports which failed to meet the targets were San Fernando (down by P42 million), Legaspi (P6.5 million), Tacloban (P6 million), Surigao (P1 million), Zamboanga (P3 million), Davao (P175 million), and Aparri (P26 million).

Only the ports of Cagayan de Oro, Clark, Cebu, Iloilo and Subic were able to meet their targets.

Cagayan de Oro collected P553 million, up by P112 million as against its P442 million goal while Clark is up by P109 million, collecting P179 million against its P71 million target.

Cebu collected P700 million, up by P102 million against its P597 million goal while Iloilo is up by P9.6 million based on its P70 million goal, and Subic collected P744 million, up by P220 million against its P524 million goal.

Documents also showed that the Customs’ total collection for March was a little more than P21 billion, down by about P7 billion as against its P28 billion target.

The bureau also failed to meet its target in February but managed to hit its goal in January.

The Development Budget Coordination Committee initially set a P397-billion revenue target for Customs for 2013. But this was lowered to P340 billion, which is already below the 2012 target of P347.1 billion.

The DBCC is an interagency group that sets the targets of the BoC and the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima wants the Customs bureau to maintain the original P397 billion revenue collection goal set for the year and not the revised or the lowered P340 billion target.

“As discussed previously, the Bureau of Customs Revenue Target for 2013 is the figure stated in the (Budget of Expenditures and Sources of Financing) submitted to Congress which is P397.257 billion. This shall be the amount against which we will monitor collection performance,” Purisima said in a memorandum to Customs Commissioner Rufino Biazon.

Parola ferry terminal project on the go

By Lydia C. Pendon

Monday, May 20, 2013

THE much delayed Parola ferry terminal project at the Parola area will soon be a reality after all hitches and legal setbacks were straightened out between the City Government and a private partner under a public-private partnership scheme.

Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog said the P135-million project, which aims to ferry sea commuters between Guimaras and Iloilo, was delayed for almost a year pending the completion of a new building of the Philippine Coast Guard beside the ferry terminal.

The project will be constructed by Double Dragon Properties Corp. as private partner at no cost to the City Government and will have a modern terminal building, shopping complex, and a park.

On the other hand, the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) will complete the P260 million total project cost with a P125 million counterpart to build a modern wharf, slope protection embankment, and other site developments for vessels plying the Iloilo-Guimaras strait.

Mabilog said the contract between the city and Double Dragon is based on legality provided in the internal rules and regulations of Article 66 of the local government code that allows joint ventures with the private sector.

Last year, the City Council enacted Ordinance 2011-213 to support the project based on Section 35 of the same government code by adopting the provision using joint venture agreement with the private sector.

The project also passed the strict assessment and validation of the Public Private Partnership Center of the Philippines formerly known as the Board of Investments.

Article 66 or the provision on joint venture and cooperative program and undertaking of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Local Government Code states that "the local government unit may enter into joint venture and such other cooperative arrangements with people's organizations, non-government organizations, or the private sector to engage in the delivery of certain basic services, capability building and livelihood projects, develop local enterprises designed to improve productivity and income, diversify agriculture, spur rural indu strialization, promote ecological balance, and enhance the economic and social well-being of the people."
