The non-religious nature of Masskara Festival is what actually attracts more tourists since people of any religious affiliation or creed like Catholics, Protestants and Muslims can actually participate without fear of breaking dogma or religious taboo.

i agree... i have many non Catholic friends and this is the main reason why they prefer Masskara over other festivals, because of its non-religious nature...

Rice sufficiency, revival of aquaculture eyed in 2012

“Hopefully by the end of the year, we can be self-sufficient in rice already. We are almost there, so we intend to strengthen the farmer's cooperatives so that we can give them the necessary funding to be able to reach our target,” Marañon said.

The governor pointed out that the Provincial Government has extended P5 million to Kabisig, an organization that promotes rice production in Bago City. The funding is intended for the upgrading of the group’s rice mill and other facilities.

Marañon also bared that this year, Capitol targets the construction of three Rice Processing Centers (RPC) - one in central Negros, another one in the north and one in the south.

He said in central Negros, provincial officials are eyeing Bago City as the location because there are 12,000 to 14,000 hectares of rice fields located in the area.

Another area which was identified for RPC is Barangay Codcod, San Carlos City which hosts 5,000 hectares of fully irrigated farms. In the south, the RPC will be constructed within the area of Binalbagan or Himamaylan City.

A Korean company is being eyed to finance such project.

Meanwhile, Marañon said this year, the Provincial Government will revive the aquaculture industry.

"There is a huge potential for aquaculture," he said.

He cited that in an actual survey at Bacolod’s “pala-pala” area, only five percent of the fish sold there are sea catch and the rest are cultured fish like tilapia, prawn, bangus, and pantat because of the fact that the seas are already depleted.

“So we must prepare our aquaculture, as we also have a vast area of fishponds, fish cages and fish pens at around 15,000 hectares. We will develop them,” Marañon said.

He added that a sustainable aquaculture industry will be established with rules and regulations and the new technology needed in the industry.
