October 2011 Issue Volume XXIX, No. 10 October 2011 http://www.filipinostar.org “Occupy Wall Street” spreads (October 15, 2011 by Evelyn Juan of the Dispatch) TORONTO–Protesters took to the streets of Canada’s financial capital Saturday, kicking off “Occupy Bay Street,” as demonstrators around the world converged on cities from London to Sydney, copying the Occupy Wall Street protests that have convulsed New York and other U.S. cities. The protesters here were relatively small, with police on site estimating crowds of about 2,000. The crowds centered midmorning in the financial district of the city, home to the country’s main stock exchange and the headquarters of Canada’s biggest banks, clustered around Bay Street. Seemingly unaffiliated protesters joined organized labor groups in the protests. Similar demonstrations were planned for other Canadian cities, from Calgary in the western province of Alberta to Montreal in French-speaking Quebec. Organized loosely over previous weeks, demonstrators in See Page 4 OCWS A general assembly of protestors held at Washington Square Park, October 9, 2011 Mayor Tremblay acknoweldges vital role of the Ethnic Press in the community Contents Editorial . 2 Cooperative News . .. 3 Tagalog Corner. , . 9 Mayor Gerald Tremblay holds in his hand a copy of Any Which Way (Op.Ed.) . 10 Montreal’s Charter of Rights and Responsibilities as he appeals to the Ethnic Press to inform their respective communities about its importance.

Mayuga November 27, 2020 Fisherman traverse one of the narrow tributaries of the heavily silted Laguna de Bay. The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) has endorsed an unsolicited proposal from a private consortium to rehabilitate and develop Laguna de Bay, the country’s largest lake and biggest aquaculture hub. In a news statement, LLDA General Manager Jaime “Joey” Medina disclosed that the agency’s Board of Directors has approved the proposed P609-billion Laguna Lake Development and Rehabilitation Project “after months of review and evaluation.” The unsolicited proposal will be undertaken through a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) scheme, which means that the proponent will finance, construct, operate, maintain and own facility and can collect fees and charges to recover their investment. The government, on the other hand, will provide the authorization and assistance in securing the BOO contract and has the option to buy the output, or service provided by the operator. The consortium is led by Taguig Lake City Development Corp. (TLCDC), with two big foreign companies as partners that have the experience, expertise and track record in undertaking such a project. Medina said the endorsement comes on the heels of successive strong tropical cyclones, the latest of which is Typhoon Ulysses that triggered massive flooding in Metro Manila, Rizal province and other areas. “This is a welcome opportunity as this will truly aid in addressing the Laguna Lake’s continual problems in siltation, industrial pollution, sedimentation, and lakeshore flooding,” Medina said.
