World Chambers Competition Best job creation and business development project Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry The Philippines FINALIST I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (NOCCI), being the only recognized voice of business in the Province of Negros Oriental, Philippines, developed the TIP PROJECT or the TRADE TOURISM and INVESTMENT PROMOTION ("TIP" for short) PROJECT to support its mission in conducting trade, tourism and investment promotion, business development activities and enhancement of the business environment of the Province of Negros Oriental. The TIP Project was conceptualized during the last quarter of 2013 and was launched in January, 2014 as the banner project of the Chamber to support its new advocacy for inclusive growth and local economic development through job creation and investment promotion. The banner project was coined from the word “tip” - which means giving sound business advice or sharing relevant information and expertise to all investors, businessmen, local government officials and development partners. The TIP Project was also conceptualized to highlight the significant role and contribution of NOCCI as a champion for local economic development and as a banner project of the Chamber to celebrate its Silver 25th Anniversary by December, 2016. For two years, from January, 2015 to December, 2016, NOCCI worked closely with its various partners in local economic development like the Provincial Government, Local Government Units (LGUs), National Government Agencies (NGAs), Non- Government Organizations (NGOs), Industry Associations and international funding agencies in implementing its various job creation programs and investment promotion activities to market Negros Oriental as an ideal investment/business destination for tourism, retirement, retail, business process outsourcing, power/energy and agro-industrial projects. -

Page 1 of 9 Print Freedom in the World - Philippines (2010) Political Rights Score: 4 * Capital: Manila Civil Liberties Score: 3 * Status: Partly Free Population: 92,227,000 Trend Arrow The Philippines received a downward trend arrow due to a general decline in the rule of law in the greater Mindanao region, and specifically the massacre of 57 civilians on their way to register a candidate for upcoming elections. Overview Political maneuvering escalated in 2009 as potential candidates prepared for the 2010 presidential election. Meanwhile, the administration remained unsuccessful in its long-standing efforts to amend the constitution and resolve the country’s Muslim and leftist insurgencies. In November, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo declared martial law in the southern province of Maguindanao after 57 people were massacred in an apparent bid by the area’s dominant clan to prevent the electoral registration of a rival candidate. After centuries of Spanish rule, the Philippines came under U.S. control in 1898 and won independence in 1946. The country has been plagued by insurgencies, economic mismanagement, and widespread corruption since the 1960s. In 1986, a popular protest movement ended the 14-year dictatorship of President Ferdinand Marcos and replaced him with Corazon Aquino, whom the regime had cheated out of an electoral victory weeks earlier. Aquino’s administration ultimately failed to implement substantial reforms and was unable to dislodge entrenched social and economic elites. Fidel Ramos, a key figure in the 1986 protests, won the 1992 presidential election. The country was relatively stable and experienced significant if uneven economic growth under his administration. -

Philippine Prison Spectacles After Web 2.01
Postcolonial Text, Vol 9, No 4 (2014) Performing the Postcolonial: Philippine Prison Spectacles after Web 2.01 Áine Mangaoang St. Patrick’s College Dublin City University On June 27, 2009 within ten hours of the breaking news of Michael Jackson’s death, prison security official Byron F. Garcia arranged for a music and dance tribute to the King of Pop; this tribute was to be performed by over 1500 prisoners in front of a live audience of tourists and media corporations in the exercise yard of Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Centre in the Philippines. Neatly dressed in identical bright orange prison jumpsuits with feet moving in matching black and white Chuck Taylor sneakers, the inmates danced to a ten-minute medley of Jackson’s hits – “Ben,” “I’ll Be There,” and “We are the World” – piped through the prison loudspeakers, with such precision and passion that one would be forgiven for thinking one was watching a professional, if slightly unorthodox, Broadway musical. Such a feat might have gone unnoticed by international media in the turbulent wake of Jackson’s death, if not for the fact that these prisoners were already internet stars who became bona fide internet celebrities following their 2007 YouTube interpretation of Michael Jackson’s 1982 epic music-video Thriller. With over fifty million views to date, the inmate performers – known as the “Dancing Inmates” of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Centre (CPDRC) – have since received attention from an array of mainstream news conglomerates (including Al Jazeera; BBC; CNN), independent DIY bloggers, and more recently, from academia. -

11 SEPTEMBER 2020, FRIDAY Headline STRATEGIC September 11, 2020 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 2 Opinion Page Feature Article Cimatu aims to increase the width of Manila Bay beach Published September 10, 2020, 7:55 PM by Ellayn De Vera-Ruiz Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy Cimatu said beach nourishment in Manila Bay may help increase the width of the beaches as they are “very narrow.” Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu (RTVM / MANILA BULLETIN) This was part of the DENR’s response to a letter sent by the office of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno last Sept. 7, seeking the agency’s clarification on the safety of dolomite to public health. In his response dated Sept. 8, Cimatu pointed out that beach nourishment is the practice of adding sand or sediment to beaches to combat erosion and increase beach width. Beach nourishment, he explained, should be applied in Manila Bay because “Manila Bay is not considered prone to coastal erosion as it is mostly protected by seawalls, but the beaches are very narrow.” He cited that under the writ of continuing Mandamus issued by the Supreme Court on Dec. 18, 2016, a marching order was given to 13 government agencies, including the DENR to spearhead the clean up, rehabilitation, and preservation of Manila Bay “to make it more suitable for swimming, skin diving, and other forms of contact recreation and for protection of coastal communities.” “After dredging and clean up of the Bay, it was agreed upon by members of the different agencies involved in the rehabilitation of Manila Bay that the initial beach nourishment in Manila Bay will be applied in segment between the area fronting the US Embassy and the Manila Yacht Club to mimic a sort of a ‘pocket beach,’ the northern portion protected by the compound of the US Embassy and the south side sheltered by the Mall of Asia compound,” the letter read. -

HISTORY of “RAM” and “GUARDIANS”
HISTORY OF “RAM” and “GUARDIANS” (PHILIPPINES) Year- April 15, 1976, eleven (11) elements of the Philippine Constabulary bonded themselves together and formed a Brotherhood. It became the origin of what is now known as the Guardians Brotherhood. It started under the name DIABLO SQUAD. This was founded and organized by a regular of the Philippine Constabulary, Sergeant LEBORIO JANGAO JR. This emerged in a remote Constabulary detachment in Barangay Kidama, Parang, Maguindanaw, Southern Philippines. Today, the Sergeant is the respectful Father of the Guardians- “GMF ABRAHAM’. August 1978, the group of the founding Sergeant was separated from each other and were assigned to different provinces in the vast Mindanao. In that period Sergeant Jangao Jr was assigned in Iligan City for a Civil Military Operations (CMO). Due to distant situation from each other and the not very sufficient communications network, this original group was active only up to 1980. However, during this period, it was known that Sergeant Jangao Jr. pursued his mission by communicating to elements of different Commands of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Integrated National Police to revive Diablo Squad where it became progressive which eventually was named DIABLO SQUAD CRIME BUSTER. The original purpose is to establish a strong brotherhood within the AFP and the INP. Composition were fourteen (14) from the Philippine Constabulary, one (1) from the Police, one (1) from the Army, one (1) from the Military Police and the inclusion of a Magic Seven, where among them were two (2) Prosecutors and five (5) Lawyers.
