DENR says Mindanao to get lion’s share of $6.5B-investments

DAVAO CITY—Mindanao will get the bulk of the estimated $6.5 billion in investments projected to be poured into the country’s mineral industry in the next five years.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) undersecretary for planning and policy Demetrio Ignacio revealed that the gross value of mineral deposits in mineral-rich Mindanao is pegged at US$9 billion.

He said of the 200,000 jobs expected to be generated from upcoming investments in mining, most will benefit Mindanaoans.

Ignacio bared at the Club 888 media forum that the huge capital investment had convinced Malacañang to push the revitalization of the mineral industry.

He clarified, however, that while Malacañang is keen on reviving the trade, it is also bent this time on removing the constraints that hamper the industry.

"We need to streamline the government processes. We have to simplify them, making them easier for the applicants," Ignacio said.

Ignacio was in Davao City last week as special guest of the Mindanao Mining Technology Forum and Regional Mines Safety Competition.

Ignacio said the government, through the DENR is set to file a motion for reconsideration before the Supreme Court (SC) on its position on the current 60-40 (60 percent for Filipino investors and 40 percent for foreigners) ownership of mineral sites in the country.

The SC came out with its oral judgment over the issue last June 29 declaring as unconstitutional the 100 percent ownership which was asked by a foreign mining company on the grounds that it is the state that has the right to exploit the country’s natural resources. The 100 percent ownership policy is stipulated in the Financial and Technical Assistance Agreement (FTAA).

[Pangi-youtherns]

Unsa na balita sa BRT sa davao city?...........Murag di man practical mag BRT sa davao murag mas puwede pa ang JRT jeepney rapid transport. Pila ra gud ng di pasudlon ang mga jeep coming from south(matina, bangkal, toril, calinan, mintal and ma-a) poblacion area (before bolton and bankerohan bridges) unya paturnohon lang sa sandawa road unya butangan ug elevated rapid loading and unloading area diha sa may atbang sa yellow fin rest. sa may quimpo blvd.Pagkahuman ang mga northeast(sasa, tibungco,lasang bunawan and panacan) diha paturnohon sa may corner r. castillo st. ug jp laurel ave. unya butangan ug elevated rapid loading and unloading area. Lastly ang north (mandug, buhangin, cabantian and indangan) jeeps diha lang paturnohon sa may dacudao ave. unya butangan ug rapid loading and unloading area sa tunga dacudao ave.


Ang mga gagmay na lang na jeep ang magtuyok sa sulod sa poblacion area unya i-redesign/remodel (puwede butangan ug side access,pataasan ang atop ug i-uniform ang color) sa LGU para di pud madisplace ang mga drivers ug mahapsay ang transition sa mga pasahero gikan sa larger jeeps to the poblacion area smaller jeeps. Maayo siguro ni para dili magcongest atong dalan sa poblacion area(either buses or the larger jeeps entering the poblacion area),ma-mantain pa ang cultural symbols (sarao/francisco jeeps), mabawasan ang financial constrain sa LGU (mangutang para sa BRT),ug ang mabawasan ang socio-economical impact within the poblacion area kay business as usual sa mga small and medium businessmen within the poblacion and drivers still have their jobs and source of income.

Lisud pud ning naa ta panahon gamay dah daghan pud ta mahuna-huna-an ug fantasy tsk tsk

But SM Lanang is already halfway its contruction timeframe.

Sana naman matapos yung "skyway" before mag open yung SM Lanang to prevent the worsening of traffic at Damosa area.

well, could be, na-realize nila that tatanggalin din ung island when they start building the flyover.

Davao City gov’t eyes construction of three flyovers

DAVAO CITY, July 26 (PNA) -- The city government here is eyeing the construction of three flyovers in the city’s national roads in the next few years to decongest traffic problems.

Roberto Alabado III, acting chief of the City Planning and Development Office (CPDO), said the construction of these infrastructure projects are badly needed for the transportation sector to ease the congested streets in the urban areas passing in the intersections in Matina Pangi to Matina Aplaya and Ulas-Toril-Mintal in the southern part, while another one in Angliongto to J.P. Laurel Avenue in the northern part of the city.
Alabado said each flyover project will cost P250 million and these will be financed by the National Government through the Department Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

He said the proposed plan was done during the public hearing of the Supplemental A Investment Plan (SAIP) in the City Council last week.

Alabado said SAIP is a set of projects that the City Government wishes to finance or push through and with these set of projects, the legislative branch will decide on what are the projects will be appropriated with budget.

Meanwhile, the city has two existing flyovers in the northern part–Agdao and Buhangin--built during the past administrations, he added. (PNA)
