Tagbilaran airport gets free super speed wifi
TAGBILARAN CITY, October 13 (PIA)–A super-speed wireless fidelity (WIFI) connection is now available for passengers transiting through the Tagbilaran Airport, and in no time at all, it would be available at the City Hall, Provincial Capitol and Plaza Rizal. The ceremonial tapping of the free one gigabyte per second (1GBPS) wifi connection, internet access at the Tagbilaran City came 102 days after President Rodrigo Duterte assumed power and 77 days after he stated his dream of more democratic internet access in public areas. All one needs to do is simply connect to SmartWifi, and all the wifi-enabled devices and all networks, PLDT Assistant Vice President and Head of the Enterprise Service Fulfillment Management Harold Kim Orbase said as he hinted that the connection in all public places is upcoming. Earlier, last July 25, in his first State of the Nation, President Rodrigo Duterte openly dreamed of ambitious free wifi access in all public spaces in the country, even as the government partners with telecommunications companies to put up the necessary infrastructure to lay out the connections. At the airport, when one is connected, he could get uninterrupted video streaming for possible video conferencing through video calls and large data downloads. The connection, courtesy of a tie-up among Smart Communications, Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company and San Miguel Corporation’s Trans Aire Development Holdings now allows tourists the much appreciated time to roll out subliminal promotions of Bohol tourism sites. It also allows tourists vacationing in Bohol to leave final instructions to their business associates who would have to run their operations in the absence of vacationing key staff.

Rabies Council gets P7M to pilot anti-rabies drive
HELP came at a time when the Bohol Rabies Prevention and Eradication Council (BRPEC) desperately needs a partner who can bankroll the staggering costs of implementing a pilot anti-rabies drive province-wide. The new partner intends to document the collaborative effort to come up with a template for future support program in their disease elimination campaign in other countries, Dr. Stella Marie Lapiz said. The partner, a Scottish non-government organization has agreed to partner with Bohol to pilot a province-wide anti-rabies campaign, said the provincial veterinarian during a meeting held Thursday at the Governor’s Mansion. Dr. Lapiz said Alliance for Rabies Control (ARC), a registered Scottish international but United Kingdom-based non-government organization has told local authorities about their intent to bankroll about P7M for the Bohol anti-rabies program. The Provincial Government on the other hand would also complement the fund source through its financial equity and manpower in a collaborative effort to sustain the provincial drive in the next 4 years, Lapiz appraised the council members during the recent meeting. “We are very happy about the development in as much as a rabies free Bohol would boost our dream of becoming the country’s top tourism destination,” she stressed. The good news also came at a time when spearheading authorities see the provincial rabies prevention and eradication program fall short of its targets due to coordination snags. Months ago here, anti-rabies rabies authorities raised the alarm over reports that Bohol has topped Central Visayas as it records the most number of animal and human rabies cases. With the implementation of the programs, BRPEC has reported a major score when reported bite...LGUs not convinced with the efficiency of Bohol Marine Triangle (BMT)

Two petitions raised by NAPOCOR to ERB asked for such increase to justify for their costs in Generation Rate, Adjustment Mechanism, and Incremental Currency Exchange Rate Adjustments.
