MANILA, November 2 (PIA)–Gipasabot ni Presidente Rodrigo Duterte nga wala pa siya’y nahimong desisyon sa 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. Matud pa sa Presidente, dili niya mahimong aprubahan o balibaran ang usa ka butang nga wala pa gi-presentar kaniya. Giingong wala pa siya naka-desisyon mahitungod niini tungod kay angay timbangon una ang mahimong epekto niini sa ekonomiya sa nasod. Dugang pa ni Presidente Duterte, ang mga investments nga giduso sa gobyerno magdala og polusyon nga makaapekto usab sa climate deal.

Bell Tel: No existing co-location agreement in NGCP sites
MANILA, 11th May 2017: Bell Telecommunications Philippines, Inc. (“Bell Tel”) clarified that it does not have any existing co-location agreement with either the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (“NGCP”) or the National Transmission Corporation (“Transco”) relating to installation of telecommunication structures in any of the NGCP-controlled sites. Transco is the National Transmission Corp., which owns the country’s power grid while NGCP is Transco’s private concessionaire. “Bell Tel does not have any existing assets in any NGCP-controlled location as there is no existing co-location agreement with NGCP nor Transco,” said Bell Tel co-General Manager Ramon Aesquivel. Bell Tel is one of the subsidiaries of Vega Telecom, Inc., which was jointly acquired last year by Globe Telecoms Inc. (“Globe”) and PLDT Inc. (“PLDT”) from San Miguel Corporation (“SMC”). Citing a letter to NGCP President Henry Sy, Jr., Transco President Melvin Matibag claimed during a media briefing that he has received reports about “dismantling and deinstallation” of telecommunication facilities supposedly owned by Bell Tel located at NGCP sub-stations, high voltage towers and high voltage poles. Matibag also cited purchase orders, signed by Aesquivel and Bell Tel co-General Manager Aileen Regio, supposedly to implement the said “dismantling and deinstallation”. Aesquivel stressed, however, that the initial investigation conducted by Bell Tel showed that the purchase orders cited by Matibag were intended for other sites, none of which are NGCP locations. “Bell Tel has not authorized the dismantling of any telco facility in any NGCP site because Bell Tel does not have existing facilities in those locations to begin with,” Aesquivel emphasized. “”If indeed there is ongoing dismantling of telco facilities within NGCP sites,...No Results Found

Mayor, 8 others face mining suit
Candijay Mayor Sergio Amora Jr., Sofronio Simacio, Cecilio Melecio, Nestor Romero, Rommel Santos, Emilio Santos, Ronald Reyes, Rob Langden arwood and Teodoro Casimsiman are now criminally charged for theft of manganese estimated to be worth P1-million illegally extracted within a large-scale mining area in barangay Katipunan, Anda. The criminal action was filed at the Bohol Provincial Prosecutor’s Office against the aforementioned for conspiring to quarry manganese in an area not covered by its environmental compliance certificate (ECC). The disputed quarry site, claimed by Hench Mining Services Development Corporation and is the subject of a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) application, was encroached by the mining activity of respondent Simacio who has obtained a permit to quarry an area about 1.5 kilometers away. It may be recalled that the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) regional office has issued a cease and desist order against Simacio to stop manganese extraction last September 26, 2008.

TUBIGON, under Mayor Luna Piezas, jumps from its last classification as 3rd to first class town, an achievement that would probably go in local history as rare. Tubigon shares with Ubay barging into becoming Bohol’s first class towns, a position then solely occupied by Talibon. Then earning a little less than P44 million four to five years ago, the town’s income leaped astronomically in the past three years to an average of P55 million, reported town treasurer Servanda Salomon. Records bare that Tubigon has earned an average of P63.361 in the past 3 years, catapulting it to the top position. On the development, local tax observers see that the dynamic local leadership and its improvement of the town market is instrumental in the increase of income. While many Tubigon residents speculate about increased taxes to maintain the status, Salomon said that aside from the real property taxes, which they do not have any control, municipal taxes remain the same, or until a new tax ordinance is passed. “There is no upgrading yet of local taxes, except the real property tax, which is revised every three years, she said. We are expecting a revision of municipal tax ordinances in 2010, as mandated by the local government code, she added. Wanting to downplay the fear of tax rate jumps, the town bagman said the biggest impact of the re-classification is increase in paychecks for local employees. “The reclassification basically affects the salaries of local employees; the salary standardization would now be using the first class bracket following salary standardization,” she bared. The Bureau of Local Government and Finance (BLGF) in its...Punta Cruz now a crux to histo-heritage tour
A world-class musical drama by a community theater rendered at the foot of the centuries old watchtower is the latest in culture and history pedagogy now making a hit in Bohol. Here, a community theater tells the story in a brilliant weaving of music and dance. The artistic cultural presentation retells the infamous pangayaw raids of the moro Tirones, one that would force the people to fortify for themselves and build a stone watchtower for their defense and organize an armada of boat riding men to meet the raiders and engage them in battle at sea. Pangayaw is a traditional pillaging of moro tribes in the region for gold, food and slaves to be sold to rich sultans in Mindanao in the 17th century. Performed by local Cultural Collective at the foot of the centuries old watchtower, the Castillo del San Vicente Eco-Heritage Tour officially opened with much fanfare Thursday, December 18 at the Punta Cruz Complex in Maribojoc. Mayor Leoncio Evasco, in an interview before the musical and artistic rendition of the tour’s main highlight aired his elation over the outcome of their effort to help the community. Aided by a funding agency partner and assisted by an NGO, the government and contacted artists, the mayor said the town has developed livelihood and enterprise as well as harnessed young talents in the area. Along with Bohol Alliance of Non-Government Organizations in a project called Building Livelihood Enterprise in Support for Sustainable Eco-Tourism (BLESSED) in Maribojoc, the local government has also effectively reclaimed the town landmark from it’s an image as just one of the many heritage towers here,...Christmas Jamming belts at Terraza de Mariveles
