Bohol leaders lobbied to Pres. Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III for the realization of the Panglao-Bohol International Airport Development Project (PBIADP).
The Provincial Development Council (PDC), Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC), Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP), and League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP)-Bohol have passed a joint resolution earnestly requesting President Aquino to carry on the project.
Governor Edgar Chatto had earlier moved for passage of said resolution.
Chatto, who serves concurrently as PDC Chair, will preside over the first PDC meeting later this week in his residence in Del Carmen Weste, Balilihan on Thursday in time for the town fiesta.
An update on the completion of the Panglao International Airport project is certain to be one of the “priority concerns” that Chatto intends to discuss with the new set of provincial officials, including the three congressmen.
Former Governor and now Rep. Erico Aumentado was in Manila last week to deliver a copy of the PDC resolution to the Office of the President in Malacañang.
He said he had also asked the most probable next Speaker of the House, Quezon City 4th District Rep. Feliciano Belmonte of the ruling Liberal Party, for his help in endorsing the project with President Aquino.
The Panglao Airport, has been in “extremely long gestation, having taken over 20 years to get into the verge of completion – from conceptualization to the expected implementation next year.
In the resolution, the PDC full council pointed out that the necessity for having the international airport in Panglao Island “has long been expressed across many sectors and stakeholders of the Boholano community, and its urgency is evidenced not just by the exponentially increasing tourist arrivals…, but also by the congestion of passengers and planes in the current Tagbilaran Airport, as well as its hazardous landing conditions, being located right in the midst of residential and commercial districts.”
The PDC also noted that the project was already about to be awarded to a winning bidder in the last days of the Arroyo administration and Chatto’s provincial administration intends to get the assurance of President Aquino’s support to have it continued.

All set for June 30 inauguration
PRESIDENT-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino’s transition team has already smoothed out kinks in the inauguration on June 30, an event that will be made meaningful by several traditions shelved during the Martial Law years.
The inauguration, which will revolve around the theme “Tagumpay ng Taumbayan, Panata sa Pagbabago,” is expected to be observed by millions around the world.
According to Aquino’s camp, there will be a prayer services at 6 in the morning at the Aquino home in Times Street. At 9:45 a.m., Aquino will depart for Malacañang to fetch Arroyo. Arroyo and Aquino’s arrival at Quirino Grandstand will be at 10:45 a.m. Arroyo will be honored by the Armed Forces of the Philippines upon arriving at the venue. She will then exit “gracefully” while her successor moves up the stage.
The formal inaugural ceremony is expected to start at exactly 11:00 a.m. with the singing of the national anthem. At around 1:00 p.m., Aquino will finally head to Malacañang.
Inauguration spokesman Manuel “Manolo” L. Quezon III earlier said “the president-elect is not much of a traditionalist, but you realize that these rituals exist to make the transition more dignified for all concerned and you’re dealing with an office larger than any person.”
The inauguration will be a symbol of sorts, as this would be peppered with traditions that were abolished or replaced during former President Ferdinand E. Marcos’ time. The Aquino family was instrumental in overthrowing the dictatorship.

Joint councils endorse for North-east Bohol growth
OTHER than Panglao Airport Project, which was endorsed for continued support by the new Administration, majority of Bohol’s next development would be gyrating off to the island’s northeastern towns.
And if the proposed projects get implemented, it would seem that the general region comprised of the cluster of towns from Clarin to Ubay would be the next economic growth center in the island.
At the recent meeting of Bohol’s key development councils including the Provincial Peace and Order, Sangguniang Panlalawigan and the League of Municipalities of the Philippines, the joint council meeting endorsed the $3M Compact loan for the Ubay Airport Development project by Korean Official Development Assistance with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines as project proponent.
Also endorsed was the P38M Bohol Holistic Enterprise for Livestock based Livelihood Opportunities (Hello) for funding under the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KoICA), an integrated poverty alleviation intervention that would be implemented mostly in the region’s poverty saddled towns.
Head of project implementer, Dr. Stella Marie Lapiz said the project would benefit families in San Isidro, Danao, Dagohoy, San Miguel, Trinidad, Bien Unido, Sagbayan, Clarin, Inabanga, Buenavista, Getafe, Talibon, Ubay and President Garcia.
Part of the endorsed projects which concentrates on the second district of Bohol is the three bridges proposed for the Tulay ng Pangulo which are all located in the Mabini-Ubay road namely Pasanan, Biabas and Ondol bridges, at an aggregate cost of P61M and following the Austrian Assisted Bridges Program.
Moreover, the councils also pushed for the inclusion of the Bohol Dairy Production and Meat processing the in the Korea-Philippine Multi-Industry Cluster Agreement. The center was initially identified to be placed at the Ubay Stock Farm.
Other than those, also resolved was the request for the Philippine Ports Authority to jumpstart soonest the Ubay Port Causeway to its highway access to avoid traffic jams and accidents in its present access.
Meanwhile, the P500M Ubay Port development, a component of the Strong Republic Nautical Highways has just been completed and now effectively connects the town to the neighboring islands by ferry boats.
Govenor Erico Aumenatdo however stressed that the proposed development would spur economic activity and would pluck the people from the harsh poverty situation in the region.

Mga magpatigayon sa asukal gipasidan-an
ANG pangulo sa Sugar Regulatory Authority kon SRA seryoso gayud sa paggukod sa mga magpalabi og pagginansiya ug ni insister nga walay rason nga mosaka ang presyo sa asukal.
Matud pa ni Administrator Bernardo C. Trebol nga ang nasud aduna pay igong supply sa asukal ug nilalis nga ang naghinobrang pagsaka sa presyo sa asukar nagpasabot nga may mga magpapatigayon nga nagpalabi og pangganansiya.
Gibalik ni Trebol ang nahiunang pahayag sa SRA nga dakpon ug ikiha nila ang mga masakpan niini.
Gi hisgutan ni Trebol ang pag-abot sa 150,000 tonelada metrikang imported nga asukar ubos sa National Food Authority’s Tax Expenditure Subsidy ug ang dugang 100,000 tonelada metrika nga igo na sa panginahanglanon sa mga konsumedor sa nasud.
Ang maong importasyon gituyo sa pagtulay sa supply gikan karon hangtud na sa Nobyembre, diin magsugod ang panahon sa paggaling.
Sa sayo pa, ang SRA ni angkon nga adunay igong inventory sa mga warehouse ug ni insister nga kon adunay pagsaka sa presyo sa asukar, hinimo ra kini sa mga magpapatigayon nga nagpalabi og pangganansiya.

Sy 2010-11 starts Tuesday June 15
THOUSANDS of students and pupils in Bohol’s public and private schools are expected to troop back when schools open on June 15.
This too as the government revs on its Balik Eskwela campaign to keep all school-age children in schools and make the teaching venues conducive to learners.
The day, June 15 would be after the country breaks for the Independence Day holiday, which is reset on the nearest Monday after June 12, shared Bohol division office representative Auxilio Cruspero during the recent Kapihan sa PIA Thursday.
While there were initial rumors about classes opening on the 14th the Department of Education corrected the opening dates while citing an amendment of its order no. 26 series of 2010.
Paragraph 2 of the Department order no. 26 series of 2010 from the education department earlier pegged the beginning of the school year on Monday, June 14, 2010.
However, based on Presidential proclamation Number 1841, June 14 has been previously declared regular holiday being the Monday nearest June 12.
By this, the DepEd order number 69 series of 2010 came to correct the error.
DepEd Secretary Mona Valisno also affirmed that the school year 2010-2011 shall begin on Tuesday June 15, 2010 and shall end on April 8, 2011.
Over this, “there would be 202 school days inclusive of the 5 days INSET Break and the parent-teacher conference that shall be held on Saturdays following the week after the administration of the quarterly examinations,” the order reads.
According to the education authorities, the number of school days is compulsory to public elementary and secondary schools.
As to the private schools, Sec. Valisno said they may opt to deviate from the DepED school calendar but they shall not start their classes earlier than the first Monday of June and not later than the last day of August as provided in Republic Act 7797.

Baclayon’s “kirial” subject in launched heritage book
BACLAYON’s rare sacred manuscripts for choral music formally called Kirial de esta Yglesia de Baclayon Año de 1826 is the subject of a heritage benchmark book launched recently by the Intramuros Administration.
Written by UST Professor and Musicologist Maria Alexandra Iñigo-Chua, the book discusses the Kirial, which contains mass cycle compositions used in the liturgical service of the Catholic Church in Baclayon during the late 18th to early 19th century.
The rare find, one that remained hidden in the musty cabinets of the 1595 church came out to the open after Inigo-Chua was introduced to it by now Boholano heritage scholar Fr. Milan Ted Torralba sometime in 1997.
Intriguingly enough, the music found in the Baclayon choir books was written in a now-obsolete mensural notation using neumes, characteristic of the Gregorian chanting.
As such, it had to be translated into contemporary notation, if it were to be rendered comprehensible to the modern musician, she admitted to reporters during the launch.
Unfortunately for Chua, she found no reference books to turn to for the task. She had to find her own way of translating the music into a readable score.
With persistence and insight, she eventually found a way to translate the pieces and indeed to perform them.
First heard again during the 400th jubilee of the church years ago, the Chua notations was sang by the famous Loboc Children’s Choir and was accompanied by a Benedictine priest who has to read the score from another songbook providentially uncovered in the archives of nearby Dimiao church.
“Anyone who has felt queasy about singing at Mass the pop version of the “Our Father” would probably wonder what church music used to be like.” Chua narrates.
“Today, a churchgoer is likely to walk into a liturgy where music is accompanied by Casio organs and minus one tapes, along with karaokes, guitars, microphones, and speakers. In the early 19th century, was church music as informal?” she asks.
The music scholar describes the 19th century Baclayon church music as “simple and conservative,” reflective of the kind of plainsong and chant favored in Spain at that time.
She notes, however, that while the melodies were simple and monophonic, like that of typical Philippine folksongs, the choir was accompanied by the majestic pipe organ.
It is a clear and unique evidence of the wealth of our Filipino-Spanish encounter and heritage, says culture worker and baclayon parishioner Lutgardo Labad, when he heard the music interpretation the choir.
In 1999, after probably more than a hundred years, the kirial’s Misa Baclayana was performed by the Loboc Children’s Choir under the baton of Alma Taldo and accompanied on the organ by Fr. Maramba.
With tears in their eyes, the audience sat rapt as the melodies unfolded from the choir, wafted, and soared through the entire church, resonating with a musical modality which is both Western and native, so spiritual, so original, and yet so deeply anchored in local soil, Labad recalls.
Meanwhile, Fr. Torralba said “it is important that an ordinary Boholano can read this book …because the Boholano must not only identify with this work, but must first claim Misa Baclayana and the entire cantorales as his or her own: that the Boholano must say that he or she belongs to these and these are resources that belong to Bohol’s cultural heritage treasury worth preserving, restoring, and perpetuating.”
Heritage, you see, although it speaks of the past, belongs to the future. We in this “now,” in this present, are the stewards of heritage,” Fr. Torralba said. (PIA-Bohol)

Calls for more school years resound at gab
CALLS to add at least two more years in the country’s basic educational echoed anew during the Commission on Filipinos Overseas sponsored conference here.
The call was based on the dire need to put up a system that allows Filipinos students the competitive skills to be at par with their counterparts across the globe.
In his keynote address during the CFO’s 9th Philippine Schools Overseas (PSO) Conference at the posh Bohol Beach Club Tuesday, CFO Secretary Dante Ang reiterate the need to uplift educational quality in the advent of sending Filipino skilled workers abroad.
While comparing the country’s educational system to leading industrialized countries, the former presidential adviser hinted that a fresh graduate in the country may not fare well in landing a competitive job when standing side by side with his foreign counterpart.
Most participants in the conference of key administrators principals and mentors form nine countries where the PSO has established schools for children of Filipino workers abroad agree that additional years in school curriculum is in order.
Many have noted that graduates in the country still needs the additional training.
Ang cited the Philippine nurses going through the National Council on the Licensure Examinations (NCLEX) for Registered Nurses before getting a job abroad, one that could be equated to the additional years in schools.
“Basic education in the United Kingdom and the US are at least 12-13 years, and now the government has realized the need to implement the 12 years basic education program, he said.
He issued the call just as the urged teachers and administrators to start convincing parents on the wisdom to change to the 12 years of school.
Moreover, the CFO big boss underline the need to launch a massive teacher training program that can be institutionalized in as much as he said “the quality of our students depend largely on the quality of our teachers.
Asked as to where the additional two years would be inserted, Department of Education Assistant Secretary Dr. Teresita Inciong pointed out that the formative years from three to six years old would be most ideal.
She cites a study that says a child that young develops 50% of his brains.
Ang however reiterates again that program, he cited that a nursing graduate in the country now still needs to go through at least a year of retraining in the US and UK to land into the nursing job abroad. (PIA-Bohol)

DepEd deploys 75,000 teachers to conduct national census
Some 75,000 public school teachers have been deployed by the Department of Education (DepEd) to conduct the national census that is done every ten years to generate accurate demographic data essential in the government’s socio-economic planning.
Education Secretary Mona Valisno said the DepEd deployed 60,000 field enumerators or census takers, 12,000 team supervisors, and 3,000 census area supervisors for the decennial census that started last May 17 and would last until June 12, 2010.
“We ask our people to cooperate in giving our teachers accurate data on their households. This is very important because this census is part of a national aim to better plan the welfare of our citizenry in terms of health, education, jobs, and other critical social services,” Valisno said.
The census is being undertaken in partnership with the National Statistical Coordination Board-National Statistics Office (NSCB-NSO).
The government is allocating a compensation for the teachers participating in the census, in the amounts of P11,550; P13,050; and P15,175 one-time honorarium. The teachers are also entitled to transportation expenses and meal allowances.
The 2010 Census of Population and Housing will obtain a complete count of Philippine population, demographic characteristics (population density, ethnicity, education level, health, economic status), and geographic distribution in the Philippines. (PIA-Bohol)
