The choice of holding of the first International REALTOR® Conference in Manila comes as a huge opportunity and challenge for our sector. While striving to be at par with the best in the world, we aim to adhere to global standards of practice and ethics and provide the mechanism for education, information exchange and networking resources to foster business at a global perspective. CREBA is likewise embarking on an Annual National Convention themed “A Home for Filipino: The Dream Goes On,” a manifestation of its relentless commitment to make housing accessible for all. Possibilities for continuing investment in tourism development as well as business process outsourcing remain very strong. Housing, especially for the low and middle income groups, should continue to be very much in demand and enjoy the financing resources that are available from government funders as well as the commercial banks. As we add more years to our history as an organization, it becomes even more gratifying to note the major role we have played in the industry’s growth. The members, therefore, of our Chamber, in their individual fields, have their work cut out for them. We encourage them to share these possibilities with other stakeholders in the country who may be experiencing special challenges at this time. Happy reading, fellow CREBANS! MS. ROSEMARIE C.

The Senate will likely have a complete roster for the first time since the 12th Congress. It may be recalled that during the 2001 elections, 13 senators were elected, with the last placer serving the unfinished term of Sen. Teofisto Guingona who was then appointed as vice president. The chamber had a full roll of 24 senators for only a year, due to the appointment of Sen. Blas Ople as Foreign Affairs Secretary on 23 July 2002, and due to the passing of Sen. Renato Cayetano on 25 June 2003. The 11th, 13th, 14th, and 15th Congresses did not have full membership, primarily because a senator did not complete the six-year term due to being elected to another post.1 In the 2013 midterm elections last May, all of the six senators seeking re-election made it to the top 12, while two were members of the House of Representatives in the 15th Congress.

    3 By: Meriam Reyline Alo In the heart of Negros Province, Visayas lay Bacolod City also known as the City of Smiles. It is famous for its Masskara Festival and home to famous delicacies such as Piaya, Napoloenes, and Chicken Inasal. What are known to most peo- ple are only the well-known places and delicacy and only few would no- tice the things that carry not only a part of the culture but also a piece of history of the Bacolodnons. What I’m talking about is Cansi at Sharyn's Cansi House, Php 270 per serve not a place of worship or a painting of beauty but rather a taste of mouth-watering, steaming hot, bursting with flavour CANSI. What is Cansi, you might ask. For those who love bulalo or sinigang I assure you this is one dish you would not want to miss eating because this is a combination of both. It is a soup dish made of beef’s bone, bone marrow, langka and batwan boiled to perfection to attain a perfect combination of sour and beefy taste. Its flavoursome broth together with its tender beef makes you forget about the cholesterol and urges you to eat some more. The most famous Cansi house is Sharyn’s Cansi House located at C-58 Nar- ra Ave., Capitol Shopping Center, Ba- colod City or commonly known as “shop- Sharyn's Cansi House during the busiest store hours ping”. The place is very simple and not intimidating. Sharyn’s Cansi House started at 1985 and has been on business for 31 years.

  • Cimatu Pinuri Ang Mga Nakasagip Sa Ibong Endemic Sa Gitna Ng ECQ
    STRATEGIC BANNER COMMUNICATION UPPER PAGE 1 EDITORIAL CARTOON STORY STORY INITIATIVES PAGE LOWER SERVICE May 11, 2020 PAGE 1/ DATE TITLE : Cimatu pinuri ang mga nakasagip sa ibong endemic sa gitna ng ECQ May 10, 2020 @ 4:57 PM 15 hours ago Views: 224 Manila, Philippines – Dahil sa pagkakasagip sa tinaguriang endemic bird sa gitna ng quarantine pinuri ni Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu ang mga wildlife officers na nakasagip sa blue-naped parrot sa Manila habang ipinatutupad ang enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) sa Luzon at iba pang lugar sa bansa upang mapigilan ang pagkalat ng COVID-19. “Our wildlife enforcers deserve a salute for their efforts to recover a national treasure – the blue-naped parrot that is endemic to Luzon and classified as ‘near threatened’ or may be considered threatened with extinction in the near future,” sabi ni Cimatu. Ayon sa DENR ang mga wildlife officers na tinutukoy ni Cimatu ay ang mga tauhan ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-National Capital Region na pinangunahan ni Special Investigator Rey Florano. Magugunitang noong Abril 29, 2020 nang magtungo ang grupo ni Florano sa condominium building sa San Andres Bukid matapos makatanggap ng tawag sa telepono mula sa isang residente na nagngangalang Athena Parado dahil sa pagkakakita sa ibon sa kanilang lugar. Matapos mailigtas ang ibon ay agad itong dinala ng grupo sa Wildlife Rescue Center ng DENR’s Biodiversity Management Bureau sa Quezon City kung saan ito mananatili at aalagaan. Ayon kay Cimatu, patuloy ang DENR sa pagtupad sa kanilang mandato na protektahan ang ating “flora at fauna” kahit na mayroong COVID-19 crisis.
