  • The Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridge Project: an Assessment
    TSSP 22nd Annual Conference o f the Transportation Science Society of the Philippines 201 4 Iloilo City, Philippines, 12 Sept 2014 The Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridge Project: An Assessment Nicanor R. ROXAS, Jr. Alexis M. FILLONE Graduate Student Associate Professor Civil Engineering Department Civil Engineering Department De La Salle University De La Salle University 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Studies have shown that enormous transportation infrastructure projects recurrently underperform when actual cost and benefits are compared to the forecasts utilized in project proposals. The projected costs have been shown to be commonly underestimated while forecasted demand, overestimated. In this research, an ambitious project in the Western Visayas Region is assessed. The Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridge Project intends to connect the islands via inter-island bridges that span a length of approximately 23 km. In this study, the PGN project is placed in the distribution of previously completed projects of the same scale and lessons are drawn from their experience. Moreover, Reference Class Forecasting is tackled in order to improve risk assessment in transportation infrastructure project proposals. If project proponents wish to reduce the level of risk from 50% to 20%, then a 12.4 billion to 29.7 billion Peso increase in the proposed budget should be added in order to avoid cost overrun. Key words : Forecast Inaccuracies, Reference Class Forecasting, Cost Underestimation 1. INTRODUCTION The Philippines is a developing country which needs to make an efficient use of its resources. According to the Department of Budget and Management of the Philippine government, a total of 213.5 billion pesos or approximately 10% of the 2.265 trillion 2014 national budget is allocated to the Department of Public Works and Highways.

  • Binanog Dance
    Gluck Classroom Fellow: Jemuel Jr. Barrera-Garcia Ph.D. Student in Critical Dance Studies: Designated Emphasis in Southeast Asian Studies Flying Without Wings: The Philippines’ Binanog Dance Binanog is an indigenous dance from the Philippines that features the movement of an eagle/hawk to the symbolic beating of bamboo and gong that synchronizes the pulsating movements of the feet and the hands of the lead and follow dancers. This specific type of Binanog dance comes from the Panay-Bukidnon indigenous community in Panay Island, Western Visayas, Philippines. The Panay Bukidnon, also known as Suludnon, Tumandok or Panayanon Sulud is usually the identified indigenous group associated with the region and whose territory cover the mountains connecting the provinces of Iloilo, Capiz and Aklan in the island of Panay, one of the main Visayan islands of the Philippines. Aside from the Aetas living in Aklan and Capiz, this indigenous group is known to be the only ethnic Visayan language-speaking community in Western Visayas. SMILE. A pair of Binanog dancers take a pose They were once associated culturally as speakers after a performance in a public space. of the island’s languages namely Kinaray-a, Akeanon and Hiligaynon, most speakers of which reside in the lowlands of Panay and their geographical remoteness from Spanish conquest, the US invasion of the country, and the hairline exposure they had with the Japanese attacks resulted in a continuation of a pre-Hispanic culture and tradition. The Suludnon is believed to have descended from the migrating Indonesians coming from Mainland Asia. The women have developed a passion for beauty wearing jewelry made from Spanish coins strung together called biningkit, a waistband of coins called a wakus, and a headdress of coins known as a pundong.

  • Bulabog Puti-An National Park Tour Package
    The BPNP covers the municipalities of Dingle and San Enrique, Province of Iloilo. It was proclaimed under Presidential Proclamation No. 760 as a National Park in 1961 by President Carlos P. Garcia. The park is known for its unique geological formation and is the only limestone mountain formation in Iloilo Province. It is also known as the location of the "Cry of Lincud" which started the Philippine Revolution in Iloilo in 1898. The BPNP is home to 30 remarkable caves. However, only four of these caves are occasionally trekked/explored by tourists because others may either have small openings or found alongside cliffs. These are Tuko Cave, Maestranza Cave, Guizo Cave, and Lapus-lapus Cave. It is named as such because of the number of tukos or geckos inhabiting it. It is a small cave of elegant stalactites and stalagmites formations. It is considered a historical cave declared by the National Historical Institute because it served as the hideaway for Filipino guerillas, with the presence of inscription inside the cave wall that reads "Los Republicanos Juran Morir Antes Que Entregarse" or "The Republicans Swear to Die Before Surrendering". The cave is also a cultural and religious site for Roman Catholics who visit the place every Holy Week to do "via cruzes" or "way of the cross" BPNP also houses many endemic species such as black tarantula, snail, millipede, tailless whip, scorpion, Philippine orange tarantula, flying fox, pit viper, etc. The Moroboro Dam of the Jalaur river is also another tourist spot in the park. It is built in 1955 to provide additional water supply, improve irrigation in the Province of Iloilo, augment electric power supply through a hydroelectric plant and enhance flood mitigation measures which serves the towns of Dingle, Barotac Nuevo, Dumangas and Zarraga..
