Naging bahagi ng talumpati ni Pangulong Gloria Macapal Arroyo ang kasalukuyang pandaigdigan hamon dulot ng mataas na presyo ng pagkain, langis at bigas. Ang pangmalawakang pangarap ng isang maayos na buhay, magandang edukasyon seebisyong pangkalusugan, mataas na sahod at disenteng pag reretiro. Sinabi ng Pangulo na ang lahat ng ito ay kayang nakamit sa pamamagitan ng pagbaba ng presyo ng bilihin, pagkakaroon ng sapat na pagkain sa sariling pinagkukunan ng enerhiya at pagsasagawa ng mahirap na desisyon upang baguhin ang ekonomiya tungo sa pangmatagalan pagbabago.

Nanawagan ang Malacanang sa publiko na isumbong ang anumang di opisyal na paggamit ng mga sasakyang pang gobyerno bilang bahagi ng pinaigting na kampanya sa pagtitipid sa enerhiya at korupsyon. Ginawa ng palasyo ang panawagan ng A.O # 239 na nag babawal sa paggamit ng sasakyang pang gobyerno sa pang personal na gamit sa pagiging dependyente sa paggamit ng inangkat na langis.

Binanggit ni Pangulo Arroyo sa kanyang pananalita sa pag bubukas ng ika-63 pangkahalatang asembliya ng UN na ang Pilipinas sa susunod na dalawang taon, ay may 60 persyento na sa pagkakaroon ng sariling enerhiya. Sa ngayon, 17 persyento na ang itinaas ng pagkakaroon ng bansa ng sariling enerhiya sa pamamagitan ng geothermal, biofuel at iba pang mapagkukunan nito. Binanggit din ng Pangulo ang gingawang hakbang ng kanyang administrasyon sa pag iwas sa paggamit ng sasakyang pang-gobyerno sa pang-personal na gamit.

Pinaiimbestigahan ng Malacañang ang napabalitang P2 bilyong halaga ng bonus na ibinigay sa may 70 empleyeado ng Road Board Secretariat noong 2005 mula sa nalikom na road users' tax. Sa panayam kay Press Sec. Jesu Dureza, binigyan diin ng sekretaryo na pera ng taong bayan ang sangkot kung kaya't kinakailangang maimbestigahan ito. Idinagdag pa niya na hindi hahayaan ng Pangulo ang mga bagay na ito.

Sa mga proyektong inilunsad ni Mayor Ramon Talaga Jr. sa Lucena
City Hall sa barangay binuksan
nina Lyn Catilo at King Formaran
Upang higit na mailapit sa mga mamamayan sa may 33 barangay na sakop ng lungsod ng Lucena ang mga programa para sa mga ito, inilunsad kamakailan ng alkalde dito ang “City Hall sa Barangay”.
Malaki ang paniniwala ni Mayor Ramon Y. Talaga, Jr. na sa pamamagitan ng nasabing programa, ang mga serbisyong ipinagkakaloob ng ilang departamento ng pamahalaang panlungsod ay dadalhin sa mga barangay upang agad na matugunan ang ilang mga pangangailangan ng mga mamamayan at ng mismong barangay.
Ilan dito ay ang City Health Office, City Social Welfare and Development Office, Public Employment and Services Office, City Engineering’s office, Technology and Livelihood Development Center, City Anti-Drug Abuse Council, City Agriculturists Office, City Registrar’s Office, Business Permit and Licensing Division, City Planning Development Office at marami pang iba.
Ipinaliwanag ng alkalde na sa bawat barangay na mapipili ay magkakaroon ng medical and dental mission, jobs fair, libreng pagpaparehistro, livelihood seminar, libreng gupit at marami pang ibang serbisyong ipinagkakaloob ng pamahalaang panlugnsod.
Binigyang-diin pa ni Mayor Talaga na nais niyang mailapit ang serbisyo ng city hall sa mga barangay.
Batid niya na dahil sa kahirapan ng buhay ay hindi na magawa ng mamamayan na magtungo sa city hall upang mag-asikaso ng ilang mahahalagang bagay katulad ng pagpaparehistro ng kanilang mga anak at iba pa.
Sa pamamagtian ng city hall sa barangay ay mabilis na maipagkakaloob ang anumang serbisyo publiko na kanilang kakailanganin.
Umaasa pa si Mayor Talaga na tatangkilikin ang programa ng mga mamamayan. Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataon na isinagawa ang programa at nakikita pa rin nila ang pangangailangan para dito kung kaya muli itong inilunsad.

Sa pagbibigay ng proyekto sa mga alkalde sa ikatlong distrito ng Quezon
Dapat maging patas sila- Cong. Danny Suarez
The Reportorial Team
Nagkaroon ng isinagawang disbursement briefings ang mga mayors, planning ,budget officers at treasurer ng Bondoc Peninsula na ginanap kamakailan sa ikatlong distrito ng Quezon.
Ito’y upang maging mabilis ang sistema sa pagbibigay ng pondo mula sa Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF).Ito’y sa kahilingan na rin ni Cong. Danny Suarez na umano’y na pinamahalaan naman ng Auditor mula sa Commission on Audit upang
maibigay ng tama ang nasabing mga pondo sa mga alkalde sa ikatlong distrito ng Quezon.
Kaugnay nito, binigyang paalala naman ni Suarez ang lahat ng mga mayor na nabigyan ng nasabing pondo na dapat mailagay ng tama sa mga proyektong ang makikinabang ay ang mga mahihirap na mamamayan sa ikatlong distrito.
Binigyang diin ng kongresista na na huwag naman sanang lagyan ng kulay pulitika ang kaniyang pamamahagi sa mga alkalde bilang bahagi ng kaniyang programa.
Lahat umano halos ng alkalde sa ikatlong distrito ay nakinabang sa nasabing pondo kahit pa nga itoy sinasabing hindi kapanalig ng nasabing opisyal.
Malaki ang paniniwala ni Suarez, na hindi na dapat pang pairalin ang pulitika sa pagbibigay ng mga proyekto kung saan dapat na tulungan ang mga mamamayan at bigyan ng mga programang nakalaan naman para sa kanila.
Nais pa ni Suarez na maparating ng tama ang mga programa sa mga liblib na lugar kung kaya’t ito’y ibinigay niya sa mga municipal mayors kung saan inaasahan na ilalagay naman ng mga ito sa mga maaayos na proyekto.
Dapat umanong bigyang prioridad ang patungkol sa edukasyon, kalusugan, death claims para sa mga barangay officials, mga imprastraktura at iba pa na kailangan ng mga taga- ikatlong distrito ng Quezon.
Dumalo sa nasabing briefing ay sina Mayor Ding Villena, Padre Burgos; Adam Aguilar, Agdangan; Cesar Alpay, Unisan, Dante Bunag, Pitogo; Liwayway Tan, Macalelon; Eva Sangalang, Gen. Luna, Monching Orfanel, Catanauan; Prudencio Maxino, Mulanay, Ernani Tan, San Francisco; Sonia Emprese, San Andres; Allen Uy, San Narciso at Remedios Uri, Buenavista.

Kolum : Para sa Bayan ni Celine Tutor
SM City Lucena, 5 taon na sa pagseserbisyo
Oktubre 3, taong 2003 nang buksan sa publiko at sa lahat ng mga mamimili ang lahat ng facilities ng SM City Lucena. Tuwang-tuwa ang mga Lucenahin noon dahil dagdag establisyemento ito na magbibigay ng maraming hanapbuhay sa mga taga-lungsod at maging mula sa mga kalapit-bayan.
Tama ang sinabi ni Quezon 1st district Board Member Alona Obispo na ang SM City Lucena ay hindi lamang lugar-pasyalan kundi malaki ang social responsibility na ginagampanan nito.
Isang patunay dito ay ang patuloy na pagkalinga ng SMLC sa mga kabataang nais na makapag-aral. Sila yaong walang kakayahang pinansyal ngunit may angkin namang talino. Bukas ang SM Lucena at SMFI sa tulad nila upang maabot ang magandang bukas. Sa pamamagitan ng SM Foundation, Inc., natutulungan ang nasabing mga kabataan upang makapag-aral at marami na ang nakapagtapos dito at may kani-kanila ng trabaho. Malaya silang nakapaghanap ng hanapbuhay kahit saang kompanya.
Saludo si Bokal Obispo sa SM City Lucena dahil marami itong programa at proyekto na ipinagkakaloob sa mga mamamayan. Maliban sa Scholarship program, may mga medical at dental missions din silang ipinagkakaloob laluna sa mga maralitang pamilya na talaga namang nangangailangan ng tulong.
Sa hirap ng buhay ngayon at sobrang tataas ng presyo ng mga gamot, malaking tulong ang libreng gamutan na ipinagkakaloob ng SM Foundation.
Sa limang taon na ng SM City Lucena, maraming beses na sila nagbigay ng nasabing tulong. Maraming tao na ang nabigyan ng lunas ang karamdaman.
Sa katunayan, kamakailan lamang ay nakaagapay ng SMLC at ng SMFI ang Southern Luzon Command sa pangunguna ni Lt.Gen.Delfin N. Bangit, Phil. National Red Cross, Quezon Medical Center, City Health Office, CSWD, Quezon Provincial Government, City Government at marami pang iba.
Sa tuwing may mga magagandang programa o anumang gawain ang SMLC, positibo ang pagtulong dito ng iba’t-ibang mga samahan. Tal kasi ang makikinabang. Sino ba naman ang hindi tutulong?
Kahit si Lucena City Social Welfare and Development officer Lulu Ruanto, paulit-ulit niyang sinasabi na ang SM Lucena ay akmang lugar na puntahan ng mga kabataan, bawat pamilya at maging ng mga may kapansanan sa katawan at pag-iisip.
Kaya nga noong nagdiwang ng National Disability Week, nakita kong ngumiti ang mga kabilang sa disabled persons nang mamasyal sila sa nasabing mall.
Sabi nga ni Ms. Lilibeth Azores, ang masipag na PR Manager ng SMLC at ng SM Foundation, Inc. na ang SM Lucena ay mall-friendly at ‘yan ay napatunayan na ng napakaraming tao na nagtungo sa lugar.
Si Ms. Angie Quesea ang isa sa makakapagpatunay na malaki ang puso ni Mr. Henry Sy, Sr. at ng mga taong nagtatrabaho sa SM sa mga may kapansanan. Hindi nila nakakalimutang bigyan ng espesyal na treatment ang tulad nila.
Bilang pagpapatunay nito, may mga facilities na sadyang ipinagawa ang mall para sa maayos na pamamasyal ng mga ito habang nasa loob. Magagalang ang mga guwardiya dito at isinailalim sa napakaraming seminar nang sa gayon ay maibigay ng maayos at may ngiti ang magandang serbisyo sa mga disabled persons.
Kung napapansin n’yo ang mga disabled persons ngayon na namamasyal sa SMLC ay binibigyan ng espesyal na pagtingin ng mga nagtatrabaho dito at ‘yun ang gusto ni Mr. Sy, Sr.
Todo ang pasasalamat ni Ms. Quesea dahil hindi na raw maiilang ang tulad niya na magtungo sa lugar na maraming tao tulad ng mall.
Hindi ‘lang ito ang mga magagandang programa ng SM Lucena na ibinibigay sa mga mall shoppers at naipagkaloob na sa loob ng kanilang limang taon na pamamayagpag.
Maraming tulong na silang naipagkaloob hindi lamang sa lungsod ng Lucena kundi maging sa mga kalapit bayan nito. Sadyang marami silang naibibigay na tulong sa komunidad.
Kulang ang pahinang ito para maisa-isa ko ang nagawa ng SM Lucena sa limang taon nilang pagseserbisyo ngunit ang natitiyak ng IRON WILL, sa pagdaan ng mga panahon, higit pa itong madadagdagan.
Sa SM Lucena, Congratulations at maraming salamat.

Ipinaliwanag ni Lt.Col. Rommel Tello na hindi ito ang unang pagkakataon na nanguna sila sa nasabing makabuluhang gawain sapagkat ang pagllinis ng kapaligiran ay bahagi na ng kanilang araw-araw na pagtupad ng tungkulin sa pangangalaga ng kalikasan. Hinikayat nito maging ang mga estudyante mula sa iba't-ibang mga eskuwelahan na panatilihin ang kalinisan kahit sa kani-kanilang tahanan. King Formaran

Sa isinulong na batas hinggil sa pagbuo ng bagong probinsya
Hati-Quezon pinanindigan ni Cong. Erin Tanada
Ni Chelle Zoleta
Quezon--- Nagpahayag ng pinal na mensahe si Quezon 4th District Representative Lorenzo Erin Tañada kontra sa mga naglalabasang opinyon ukol sa kanyang isinulong na batas kaugnay sa pagbuo ng bagong probinsya ang “.A. 9495 o An Act creating the province of Quezon del Sur”
Magugunitang nailathala ang nasabing batas sa dalawang pahayagang nasyunal noong September 12, 2008 (Biyernes). Nakasaad sa transitory provision na kung saan ay magiging epektibo ang batas sa loob ng labinlimang araw matapos mai-published at itatakda ang kaukulang plebisito para pagbotohan ng taong bayan kung pabor o hindi sila sa gagawing bagong probinsya.
Nagkaroon din ng pagbuo ng isang grupo na tinawag na Save Quezon Province Movements (SQPM) sa pangunguna ni Atty. Sonny Pulgar at Hobart Dator kung saan matindi nilang ikinakampanya na hindi matuloy ang naturang paghahati. Dito’y nagkaroon ng seminar sa ilang college schools ukol sa batas at epekto kung mahahati ang probinsya.
Si Bishop Emilio Marquez naman ay nadismaya kung bakit nagiging malaking isyu ang paghahati . Binigyang diin naman ni Bishop Marquez na pag-isipan na lamang ang pag-unlad at positibong pananaw kung ito’y mahahati nang sa gayon ay mabigyan ng sapat na serbisyo ang malalayong lugar partikular sa mga islang bayan.
Nagkaroon ng kalituhan ang mamamayan kung bakit nagkaroon ng usap-usapan na ang mga proponent ng naturang batas na sina Cong. Tañada, Procy Alcala at Gobernador Raffy Nantes ay naging matamlay sa pagsulong at pagkampanya ng batas.
May posibilidad na maitakda ang petsa ng plebisito ngayong darating na Nobyembre 22, 2008 at tanging resolusyon sa COMELEC ang iniintay na lamang.
Subalit mariin naman itong itinanggi ni Cong.Tañada. ang ani daw ay “ batas yan ng aking ama, hindi ko pwedeng pabayaan!”
“I have not abandoned the Quezon Del Sur push. There is just so much misinformation on the date of plebiscite that Quezonians are getting confused. Let us not contribute to the confusion on the plebiscite. Let the COMELEC officially declare when the plebiscite is. In the meantime, let the merits of the bill be discussed soberly and not emotionally”. dagdag pang ani ng kongresista.
Kaugnay nito, patuloy pa ring naguguluhan ang mga mamamayan kung anong kahihinatnan ng lalawigan sa mga darating na panahon.
HINDI PO SILA MGA MODEL: Sina Carla ,Michelle at Ayra mga empleado ng Provincial Governor Office.Naging usherettes sila sa Mansion House para sa mga dumating na matataas na opisyal mula sa Calabarzon area sa katatapos na matagumpay ng One Town One Product congress and Trade at 1st business conference.Ang sunod-sunod na proyekto ng Provincial government ay upang gisingin ang lalawigan sa angkin nitong natatagong kaunlaran.Ito’y bilang pagpaparamdam na rin sa mga mamamayan na makipagkaisa lamang sa mga proyektong binubuksan ay nakatitiyak na ng isang magandang bukas ang mga Quezonian.Thursday, October 2, 2008

MY OWN BIG BLUE QUEZON SKY
By :Atty. Sonny Pulgar
Crimes increase as education, opportunity, and property decrease. Whatever spreads ignorance, poverty and, discontent causes crime…. Criminals have their own responsibility, their own share of guilt, but they are merely the hand…. Whoever interferes with equal rights and equal opportunities is in some … real degree, responsible for the crimes committed in the community. - Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822-1893), U.S. president. Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes: Nineteenth President of the United States
Quezon – the Promise Land
In 1996 the legendary Gordon Wu and the slip form engineering genius Stewart Elliot of Hopewell Holdings were in town to personally sign the preliminary contracts (memorandum of understanding) in the construction of the South Luzon Expressway Extension all the way from Calamba to Pagbilao. Officials of Philippine National Construction Corporation were on hand in the signing. It was no doubt a flagship project of FVR.
There was much rejoicing from the side of Quezon delegation led by former Governor Eddie Rodriguez as the historic inking spurred the engine revving of the province towards the high road to progress. Everyone who mattered in Quezon was in Malacanang except the now ex-governor Willie Enverga who was one of the congressmen then, and the sitting representative from the Bondoc Peninsula , Danny Suarez. Their absence was never noticed, except now in hindsight.
No less than FVR lent his electric presence in the company of his cabinet biggies headed by Justice Secretary Tito Guingona. The message was loud and clear: everything was legal and above board insofar as the impact project was concerned. Within earshot, we heard FVR fancied “let’s relocate the Philippine capital to Pagbilao ! They ain't seen nothin' yet!” He flashed his trademark thumbs-up sign. Everybody followed suit.
The exuberance and excitement were all over, rightly so, because of the unparalleled Hong Kong clone blueprint the duo Wu and Stewart presented to FVR and Rodriguez, a complex modern metropolis to rise from the reclaimed areas off Grande Island of Pagbilao. Once commenced, the project attempts to wipe out unemployment in Quezon and usher in the province to the forefront of development. We have reasons to rejoice. By opening that valve, the rest of South Quezon, i.e., the Lamon Bay area and the Bondoc Peninsula , is on the throes of unequalled development. With the vaunted shoreline and cantilevered coast of Plaridel and Hondagua open to further port development on the Pacific side, the possibilities of international trade is boundless. Whereas, on the Bondoc Peninsula , the food basket of Quezon, agriculture begs full time attention at last.
Pagbilao, The New International Port
It looked like everybody was focused on Quezon as the new gateway from China Sea and the Pacigfic. Quezon, in its integral whole, is the only component of CALABARZON with an enviable access to the waterways, the Pacific Ocean in the West, and in the South-eastern side, the China Sea . A world class port as part of the Quezon development plan would soon break the waters of Pagbilao. While there were talks of another port in Batangas, as in fact the Batangas International Port is now in full swing. Parallel ports were being pushed by the Wu-Elliot team on Pagbilao and Plaridel. A Plaridel development means the spark plug for the development of the rest of the Lamon Bay area. A proposed viaduct would join the Pacific and Tayabas Bay in China Sea . “Forget about Metro-Manila because Quezon is the answer. Metro- Manila should be converted into a museum”, we heard FVR uttered time and time again.
Those words were spoken not from sheer energy but from tenacity of purpose. Quezon was in the grand vision of FVR. Dividing Quezon at that point is the craziest idea there is. For the most part of Quezon connects the most parts of Bicol, the Visayas, and Mindanao . Batangas has the limited access to China Sea and that is all. Hearing those words from no less than the President of the Philippines makes one break into goose bumps and of course understandably proud.
Some feng shui experts gave the Wu-Elliot team a positive opinion on the location of Quezon of being in the best of both worlds. Its eastern location reaps the blessing of the rising sun. While its westerly location at the Tayabas Bay gives Quezon the wide reach of developmental dimension guided by the setting sun. In sum, Quezon is straddling the entire Eden . They said Metro-Manila is hounded because it sits at the sun's burial site. Whereas Quezon bathes in the first glow of the sunrise!
The experts were in unison that the soil and configuration of Quezon fit the bill as the site for massive world class processing and export zones. Quezon time has come. The best top soils are in Cavite , Laguna, and Batangas. By bulldozing this topsoil and converting the land into industrial and residential complexes, Wu and Elliot could not help themselves but protest to FVR. It was a mindless approach, they chorused, as it destroys a farming basin. These provinces are meant for agriculture development. Whatever is planted in those parts grows. While in Quezon only the coconuts agree. By building the link expressway to Quezon, it is expensive alright, but forward thinking nevertheless as distance is overcome by the infrastructure. Nothing is beyond reach anymore. While Laguna, Cavite, and Batangas are nearer to Manila, Quezon's distance on the other hand can be fixed by the construction of an equally vast 6-lane express way.
From Guangdong with Love
Experience taught them that this was so from the lessons of Guangdong , a China province north of Hong Kong . Guangdong is connected to Shenzhen and Hong Kong by a colossally broad highway built by the tandem of Wu and Elliot. They put up gigantic coal-fired power plants in Guangdong stimulating unprecedented development there. From the dusty countryside of Guangdong rose the magnificent cities of Guangzhou , Maoming, Mexian, Shenzhen, Shaoguan, Yangjiang and Zhanjiang that forever altered their skylines.
Guangzhou is the main communication centre of Guangdong with generous amount of railways, highways, bridges, multi levels of flyovers and labyrinth of waterways. The transport conditions in Guangdong Province are of international standard. So far, the water transportation has been playing a very important role in its relentless development. The ocean shops go from Guangzhou or Zhanjiang to South East Asia , Africa , Europe and America , and more than 40 ports in Shanghai , Dalian , Tianjin , Qingdao , Nantong , Ningbo , Yantai, Fuzhou , Xiamen , Wenzhou , Beihai. Guangdong is also one of the provinces in China where the highways have been developed into the networks all over the province. And there are four railways: Beijiang to Guangzhou , Guangzhou to Jiulong, Guangzhou to Maoming and Litang to Zhanjiang .
The air transport services are developing rapidly. Besides an airport in Guangzhou , there are some other airports in Zhanjing, Shantou , Zhuhai, Shenzhen, Foshan, Huizhou, Wuhua, Meixian, and Yangjiang which connect with all the large cities in China . There are more than 10 international airlines.
In just a little over a decade, Guangdong as an autonomous region like Guangxi is now an equally proud Asian destination within the league of Singapore and Hong Kong .
It Could Have Been Quezon
But indolence and the fastbuck mentality ruined FVR's vision and along with it the primacy of Quezon in the faithful hierarchy of plans in the CALABARZON. Some people are now poised to make money out of their alleged vested rights on the consortium. Instead of proactive follow-thru of the economic blueprints for the province, the unimaginative congressman from the Bondoc Peninsula thought of suffering us with another provincial bureaucracy. The plans are all there for the asking. Flaunting his alleged closeness to President Macapagal, the Congressman should have lobbied for the early commencement of the projects.
The contracts were signed as early as 1996. The ground works were done. By Wu-Elliot estimation, the project is operational by 2000. All that was necessary was the implementation and passionate follow-up. All that Quezon needs is an action man. What we got unfortunately was a foul-up. Nothing came up for the last nine years. Hopefully, a new man sits on the helm ready to slay the dragon of indifference. But he is faced with a dilemma: should he spearhead the division of Quezon he authored as well? Are we again facing another uneventful three years?
Quezon Wasteland After the Cut
For the last nine years we saw substandard buildings sprouted all over the landscape. We saw the mushrooming of E-type School buildings worth P65M each. For posterity, the wheel-chair bound ex-governor left us the P500M Quezon Convention Center and the P700M bare and flood-stricken Quezon Medical Center . By all accounts, from the SOP alone, ex-governor Enverga has assured his retirement. He even wangled from the bowing Sanggunian Panlalawigan a supplemental budget of P145M in the dying days of his term. It is only them and their moneybags together with a handful of contractors benefited.
We now find ourselves knee deep in the river but we are dying of thirst.
The sick are dying. Crimes are in the upswing. And the ignorant? Legions! Blessed are those in this blissful state, Quezon now attains the distinction as one of the poorest LGUs in this country along with Samar, Masbate , Siquijor, and Quirino. Let us learn from our past mistakes. Granted that we elected substandard men whose sloth had irrevocably interfered with equal rights and equal opportunities painstakingly initiated brick by brick by their predecessors, but the story does not end there. While the people, buffeted by unemployment, poverty, illnesses, and non-existent opportunity, sulk in the background. Joining the NPA is not a viable option anymore as it has coexisted with the government as well. Besides, Marx fantasized of driving a Rolls Royce in his life time. Deng Xiaoping declared “to be rich is glorious!” And Lenin, Mao, and Fidel Castro are victims of the greatest hoax on earth. Joema Sison, Ka Roger and their ilk believe that this country or Quezon in particular is the perfect laboratory of the polemics of Marx and company. But instead of capitulating, our people opted to migrate and hibernate in foreign lands. History and as events unfolded proved the ideologues wrong.
Two Quezons Don’t Make a Right
Dividing Quezon is not the right formula. The gerrymandering motive of RA 9495, the law creating Quezon del Sur, is too palpable to miss. More than ten years ago, the government is in possession of the best blueprint for development.
There is nothing spectacular about the size of Quezon. Pangasinan, Palawan, and Cebu are much bigger than Quezon. And yet, mangling them up did not occur to the sensibilities of the Pangalatoks or the Kamarimakutan or the Cebuanos.
By being one and united is the best defence against the vagaries of the times. The FVR episode remained a flickering dream for Quezon.
How much time do we have? It is not true that time goes. We go.

Davao Norte, Compostela settle legal issues on separation
By Edith Regalado
Saturday, December 15, 2007
DAVAO CITY – Davao del Norte and Compostela Valley have finally settled three pending legal issues that would complete the full separation of the two provinces.
Compostela Valley was carved out of Davao del Norte in 1998 through Republic Act 8470, but there were certain issues that remained unresolved.
Compostela Valley Gov. Arthur Uy said the two provinces forged agreements the other day, resolving issues on the proprietorship of a piece of land in Monkayo town, the setting up of a separate provincial rehabilitation center, and the cost of devolved functions.
“This is to perfect the transfer from Davao del Norte to Compostela Valley . We finally feel relieved because now the existence of our province has finally been legitimized with all those issues finally resolved,” Uy said.
Davao del Norte Gov. Rodolfo del Rosario told The STAR that there had been a delay in forging the agreements since the details had to be thoroughly reviewed.
“There were other concerns that had to be settled simultaneously with the transfer of the jail facilities, aside from just the turnover of the 90-hectare agricultural development facility in Barangay Pasian in Monkayo,” Del Rosario said.
Del Rosario said the members of the Davao del Norte provincial board were instrumental in drawing up the details of the agreements, including the deed of donation for the Pasian property.
Uy said the provincial government would continue developing an agricultural and food production facility in the Barangay Pasian property.
“Now, we will be solely responsible for Pasian,” Uy said.
Del Rosario also cited the importance of the turnover of the cost of devolved functions in the internal revenue allotment (IRA), specifically on shares from the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
“The sharing had to be reviewed. Nothing happened in the last three years. And when I came back I advised Gov. Uy that we should work on it already,” he said.
Uy said he also welcomed the long-delayed transfer of inmates with cases in Compostela Valley from the Davao del Norte Provincial Rehabilitation Center in Tagum City .
“As to the jail, the Local Government Code provides that local government units must establish their own (detention facilities) within two years. We shall start the construction of a new jail facility in the province early next year,” Uy said.
Uy said he can now work on the full development of Compostela Valley , especially now that the legal issues with Davao del Norte have finally been settled.
“We could now move forward with everything in place now and nothing is left hanging with Davao del Norte,” he added.

this is something that future gerrymanders should learn. look at these UNTHINKING LGUs. it took them 10 years to settle their legal differences in the division of assets. 10 years is a long time gone. in China , they build one city every 10 years. what happened to these 2 new provinces now? they are still the same poor backward decrepit godforsaken. ask the local leaders how are they now? and they will certainly smirk and say "we're richer than prior to the division".
in Quezon, some moronic local leaders are at it again. they want to slice the geographically imposing province into two: Quezon del Sur and Quezon del Norte. with this experience of Compostela etc, it sure would hound Quezon for the next 10 years as well. sa ogag ng mga tao dito.....pambihira....

Crimes increase as education, opportunity, and property decrease. Whatever spreads ignorance, poverty and, discontent causes crime…. Criminals have their own responsibility, their own share of guilt, but they are merely the hand…. Whoever interferes with equal rights and equal opportunities is in some … real degree, responsible for the crimes committed in the community. - Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822-1893), U.S. president. Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes: Nineteenth President of the United States
Quezon – the Promise Land
In 1996 the legendary Gordon Wu and the slip form engineering genius Stewart Elliot of Hopewell Holdings were in town to personally sign the preliminary contracts (memorandum of understanding) in the construction of the South Luzon Expressway Extension all the way from Calamba to Pagbilao. Officials of Philippine National Construction Corporation were on hand in the signing. It was no doubt a flagship project of FVR.
There was much rejoicing from the side of Quezon delegation led by former Governor Eddie Rodriguez as the historic inking spurred the engine revving of the province towards the high road to progress. Everyone who mattered in Quezon was in Malacanang except the now ex-governor Willie Enverga who was one of the congressmen then, and the sitting representative from the Bondoc Peninsula , Danny Suarez. Their absence was never noticed, except now in hindsight.
No less than FVR lent his electric presence in the company of his cabinet biggies headed by Justice Secretary Tito Guingona. The message was loud and clear: everything was legal and above board insofar as the impact project was concerned. Within earshot, we heard FVR fancied “let’s relocate the Philippine capital to Pagbilao ! They ain't seen nothin' yet!” He flashed his trademark thumbs-up sign. Everybody followed suit.
The exuberance and excitement were all over, rightly so, because of the unparalleled Hong Kong clone blueprint the duo Wu and Stewart presented to FVR and Rodriguez, a complex modern metropolis to rise from the reclaimed areas off Grande Island of Pagbilao. Once commenced, the project attempts to wipe out unemployment in Quezon and usher in the province to the forefront of development. We have reasons to rejoice. By opening that valve, the rest of South Quezon, i.e., the Lamon Bay area and the Bondoc Peninsula , is on the throes of unequalled development. With the vaunted shoreline and cantilevered coast of Plaridel and Hondagua open to further port development on the Pacific side, the possibilities of international trade is boundless. Whereas, on the Bondoc Peninsula , the food basket of Quezon, agriculture begs full time attention at last.
Pagbilao, The New International Port
It looked like everybody was focused on Quezon as the new gateway from China Sea and the Pacigfic. Quezon, in its integral whole, is the only component of CALABARZON with an enviable access to the waterways, the Pacific Ocean in the West, and in the South-eastern side, the China Sea . A world class port as part of the Quezon development plan would soon break the waters of Pagbilao. While there were talks of another port in Batangas, as in fact the Batangas International Port is now in full swing. Parallel ports were being pushed by the Wu-Elliot team on Pagbilao and Plaridel. A Plaridel development means the spark plug for the development of the rest of the Lamon Bay area. A proposed viaduct would join the Pacific and Tayabas Bay in China Sea . “Forget about Metro-Manila because Quezon is the answer. Metro- Manila should be converted into a museum”, we heard FVR uttered time and time again.
Those words were spoken not from sheer energy but from tenacity of purpose. Quezon was in the grand vision of FVR. Dividing Quezon at that point is the craziest idea there is. For the most part of Quezon connects the most parts of Bicol, the Visayas, and Mindanao . Batangas has the limited access to China Sea and that is all. Hearing those words from no less than the President of the Philippines makes one break into goose bumps and of course understandably proud.
Some feng shui experts gave the Wu-Elliot team a positive opinion on the location of Quezon of being in the best of both worlds. Its eastern location reaps the blessing of the rising sun. While its westerly location at the Tayabas Bay gives Quezon the wide reach of developmental dimension guided by the setting sun. In sum, Quezon is straddling the entire Eden . They said Metro-Manila is hounded because it sits at the sun's burial site. Whereas Quezon bathes in the first glow of the sunrise!
The experts were in unison that the soil and configuration of Quezon fit the bill as the site for massive world class processing and export zones. Quezon time has come. The best top soils are in Cavite , Laguna, and Batangas. By bulldozing this topsoil and converting the land into industrial and residential complexes, Wu and Elliot could not help themselves but protest to FVR. It was a mindless approach, they chorused, as it destroys a farming basin. These provinces are meant for agriculture development. Whatever is planted in those parts grows. While in Quezon only the coconuts agree. By building the link expressway to Quezon, it is expensive alright, but forward thinking nevertheless as distance is overcome by the infrastructure. Nothing is beyond reach anymore. While Laguna, Cavite, and Batangas are nearer to Manila, Quezon's distance on the other hand can be fixed by the construction of an equally vast 6-lane express way.
From Guangdong with Love
Experience taught them that this was so from the lessons of Guangdong , a China province north of Hong Kong . Guangdong is connected to Shenzhen and Hong Kong by a colossally broad highway built by the tandem of Wu and Elliot. They put up gigantic coal-fired power plants in Guangdong stimulating unprecedented development there. From the dusty countryside of Guangdong rose the magnificent cities of Guangzhou , Maoming, Mexian, Shenzhen, Shaoguan, Yangjiang and Zhanjiang that forever altered their skylines.
Guangzhou is the main communication centre of Guangdong with generous amount of railways, highways, bridges, multi levels of flyovers and labyrinth of waterways. The transport conditions in Guangdong Province are of international standard. So far, the water transportation has been playing a very important role in its relentless development. The ocean shops go from Guangzhou or Zhanjiang to South East Asia , Africa , Europe and America , and more than 40 ports in Shanghai , Dalian , Tianjin , Qingdao , Nantong , Ningbo , Yantai, Fuzhou , Xiamen , Wenzhou , Beihai. Guangdong is also one of the provinces in China where the highways have been developed into the networks all over the province. And there are four railways: Beijiang to Guangzhou , Guangzhou to Jiulong, Guangzhou to Maoming and Litang to Zhanjiang .
The air transport services are developing rapidly. Besides an airport in Guangzhou , there are some other airports in Zhanjing, Shantou , Zhuhai, Shenzhen, Foshan, Huizhou, Wuhua, Meixian, and Yangjiang which connect with all the large cities in China . There are more than 10 international airlines.
In just a little over a decade, Guangdong as an autonomous region like Guangxi is now an equally proud Asian destination within the league of Singapore and Hong Kong .
It Could Have Been Quezon
But indolence and the fastbuck mentality ruined FVR's vision and along with it the primacy of Quezon in the faithful hierarchy of plans in the CALABARZON. Some people are now poised to make money out of their alleged vested rights on the consortium. Instead of proactive follow-thru of the economic blueprints for the province, the unimaginative congressman from the Bondoc Peninsula thought of suffering us with another provincial bureaucracy. The plans are all there for the asking. Flaunting his alleged closeness to President Macapagal, the Congressman should have lobbied for the early commencement of the projects.
The contracts were signed as early as 1996. The ground works were done. By Wu-Elliot estimation, the project is operational by 2000. All that was necessary was the implementation and passionate follow-up. All that Quezon needs is an action man. What we got unfortunately was a foul-up. Nothing came up for the last nine years. Hopefully, a new man sits on the helm ready to slay the dragon of indifference. But he is faced with a dilemma: should he spearhead the division of Quezon he authored as well? Are we again facing another uneventful three years?
Quezon Wasteland After the Cut
For the last nine years we saw substandard buildings sprouted all over the landscape. We saw the mushrooming of E-type School buildings worth P65M each.
