Mayor Romualdez eyes putting of CCTVs to avert crimes in the city
Wednesday November 10th 2010


TACLOBAN CITY- Mayor Alfred Romualdez is eyeing for a comprehensive security plan due to almost series of killing incidents in the city.

“I saw the need for a tighter security undertaking in our city by putting up surveillance cameras in some (strategic) places here,” he said yesterday.

Romualdez said they have come up with an alternative plan to monitor crimes through closed-circuit televisions that will be installed and activated in all strategic points and areas of public convergences.

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place on a limited set of monitors. The technology is often used mostly in major cities for surveillance in areas that may need monitoring such as banks, casinos, airports, military installations, and convenience stores.

The plan came out after a barangay chairman of Tacloban was shot to death by two unidentified men riding in tandem on a motorcycle on Monday at 8 p.m. while he was outside at the multi purpose hall of the barangay.

The victim was identified as Aldrin Benitez, incumbent village chief of Brgy. 66 Paseo de Legazpi of this city.

Benitez sustained three gunshot wounds from a .45 caliber which resulted to his sudden death, police reports said.

Other than this, Romualdez has also considered the murder of Manuel Granados, father of neophyte Councilor Jeric Dane Granados who is a close ally of the city mayor, who was shot last September 15 this year.

“Even my executive assistant was killed early this year,” he emphasized.

Romualdez was referring to Freddie Anido, former manager of Tacloban City’s New Bus Terminal, who was murdered by two unidentified suspects on March 5 while he was on his way home.

“Lahat naman tayo nagulat sa mga nangyari…so we considered these cases, reason why we are going to put CCTVs next year especially in the downtown areas,” he stressed, adding that these kinds of crime remain to be one of the problems in major cities.

He said that this would serve as one of their preventive measures to abet further occurence of killing and other illegal incidents in the city. He cannot tell yet the exact number of surveillance cameras to be installed and how much the city government will set aside for this purpose.

The city mayor said it’s very hard to provide an increased police visibility throughout the city because of the limited police personnel currently deployed at the Tacloban Police Office.

By putting up the CCTVs, Romualdez said incidence of crimes can easily be tracked and monitored. (ALVIN P. CARDINES)

Tacloban City Councilor Cristina Romualdez (left), who chairs the committee on health, fresh from her travel to New York City, answers questions from the local tri-media during a press conference. She said she presented the city’s URBAN HEART System during the 9th International Conference on Urban Health in New York City recently. URBAN HEART is the acronym for Urban Health Equity Assessment and Response Tool. She presented in the said conference the URBAN HEART data on the city’s health programs that addresses the poorest barangays immediate needs and the programs that bridges the gap between the urban and remote barangays in terms of their health needs.

Tacloban to receive P1.5 M aid from WHO
Wednesday November 10th 2010


TACLOBAN CITY-Councilor Cristina Gonzalez Romualdez said that she is upbeat that the living condition of the people of Tacloban in the next few years would improve for the better.

And this can be achieved with the help of a system designed by the World Health Organization among urban areas in the world .

The councilor made a presentation before an international conference held in New York last October 27 wherein she made a presentation on the number of programs and projects initiated by the city government under the present leadership of her husband, Mayor Alfred Romualdez, which aim to help improve the living conditions of the people of Tacloban.

Among the projects the wife of Mayor Romualdez presented before the international gathering, sponsored by the World Health Organization, were the distribution of health cards, access to sanitary toilets to the barangays, a housing project in collaboration with the Gawad Kalinga, cleanliness campaign and the creation of a help-based office under the office of Mayor Romualdez.

All these programs and projects were all in accordance with the URBAN HEART of the WHO. The system refers to the Urban Health Equity Assessment and Response Tool which has been implemented by the WHO since 2007.

Aside from Tacloban, the other Philippine city invited to present program which uses the WHO-assessment tool was Parañaque together with other cities coming from 14 countries.

Councilor Romualdez said that with the city government implementing its various programs using the assessment-tool of the WHO, the city government is expected to receive a financial assistance of P1.5 million from the WHO which it will use to improve further its on-going programs and projects.

According to Romualdez, with the system now put in place, it would now be easy for city leaders like her to know the needs of the barangays in the city, especially those located within the urban section of Tacloban.(JOEY A. GABIETA)

Cong. Romualdez is elected as president of Lakas-Kampi-CMD
Wednesday November 10th 2010

LUCENA CITY — House Deputy Minority Leader Danilo Suarez has announced the election of Leyte Rep. Ferdinand “Martin” Romualdez as president of the Lakas-Kampi-Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD).

Suarez said Lakas-Kampi-CMD members strongly believe that Romualdez can rebuild the former dominant political party in the country.

“We came up with a leadership decision on who will be the president of the Lakas-Kampi-CMD. There was a unanimous consensus that it would be Congressman Romualdez,” Suarez told reporters in a press conference late Saturday night at the Quezon Convention Center .

“We will try to recruit some more and win back former party-mates. This is more of a party effort and Martin is pretty qualified to handle those activities,” Suarez added.

Suarez said it is high time for the Lakas-Kampi-CMD to elect a new and permanent set of leaders. “After the May elections, parang lull kami kasi puro interim and temporary. So now that the minority had been established already, we’ve decided, especially after the barangay elections, that we will come up with permanent sets of officers,” said the House deputy minority leader.

Suarez added that former President Gloria Macapagl-Arroyo will be the party’s chairperson again. “She will be the chairman. I don’t think she will refuse and we feel that she should be playing an active role because of the respect and our commitment to pursue her ideas.”

The House deputy minority leader also aired his opinion on Lakas-Kampi-CMD lawmakers who have allied with the Liberal Party (LP). “That has been a tactical (Lakas members in majority) arrangement and has the blessings of no less than the chairman (Mrs. Arroyo),” said Suarez. (RYAN PONCE PACPACO)

22 sites eyed for ocean energy

MANILA, Philippines—The Department of Energy has identified 22 prospective sites that can be developed by interested investors to produce the much needed additional power capacity using ocean energy resources.

The DOE said it was promoting Philippine ocean resources, which could generate as much as 170,000 megawatts, following the commercialization of ocean energy in other countries. Tapping the ocean as an energy resource involves emerging technologies that use the power of temperature difference, waves and tides to create energy.

These specified areas, the government agency added, hold ocean thermal and tidal energy potential.

Documents from the DOE identified 14 ocean thermal energy potential sites: San Vicente, Ilocos Sur; Agno, Pangasinan; Palauig, Zambales; Mananao, Mindoro; San Jose, Antique; Manukan, Misamis Occidental; Omosmarata, Basilan; Palaui Island, Cagayan; Dijohan Pt., Bulacan; Mascasco, Masbate; Batag Island, Northern Samar; San Francisco, Surigao del Norte; Lamon Pt., Surigao del Sur, and Lacaron, Davao del Sur.

The DOE has also identified eight potential ocean tidal energy sites, which included the Hinatuan Passage, Bohol/Taliban Strait, Surigao Strait, Gaboc Strait, Basiao Channel, San Bernardino Strait, Basilan Strait and San Juanico Strait.

“Further, a study undertaken by the Oceanographic Co. of Norway showed that ocean wave energy has an enormous potential capacity on Batanes Islands, Cagayan, Polilio Islands in Aurora and Bolinao in Pangasinan,” the DOE added.

However, the development of ocean energy is capital extensive as references have indicated that a 100-MW project would require a $250-million investment.

Assistant Energy Secretary Mario Marasigan said the Philippines was even “lucky to have two proponents in ocean/marine energy... [which] are energy projects involving emerging technologies.”

US firm Deep Ocean Power Philippines Inc. is currently conducting studies in at least 36 sites covering 21,000 hectares in Ilocos, Pangasinan, Zambales, Mindoro, Isabela, Panay, Negros, Samar, Leyte and some parts of Mindanao, for possible ocean power sources. However, its efforts were expected to be focused primarily on Occidental Mindoro and Antique, the DOE said.

Earlier this year, Bell Pirie Power Corp. was also awarded a renewable energy service contract for a planned 5-MW Cabagan ocean energy project in Zambales.

just found out about this..

Here Lies Love is a concept album made in collaboration between David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, about the life of the former First Lady of the Philippines Imelda Marcos along with the woman who raised her — Estrella Cumpas — and follows Marcos until she and her family were forced to leave the Philippines. The album features 22 guest vocalists and was released on April 6, 2010, under Nonesuch Records and Todomundo in several formats, including a deluxe double-Compact Disc set with a DVD of music videos from the album and a 120-page book. The title is taken from a comment made by Imelda Marcos during a visit to her husband Ferdinand Marcos's embalmed body. Imelda Marcos expressed that she would like the phrase "Here Lies Love" to be inscribed on her tomb stone.
