maayong buntag mga tiga-payag!

i'm scheduled to do a re-shoot of an old SineBuano documentary called Colon:Paglantaw. Our first version lacked research and interviews, it was basically Colon in the eyes of one man.

I'm now in the process of doing some research on the subject. In my hands right now is a book called "Life in Old Parian" by Concepcion C. Briones, published in 1983.

To those who have visited Colon, our memories of the oldest street in the country is that of movie houses, stores and universities. But let me try and create a portrait of Colon back in the 1920's.

Old Colon was a residential area owned mostly by the elite. Most of them were Mestizo Sangeley, Mestizos and some Español Peninsulares. The front of the houses were build almost cheek-by-jowl to each other but separated by huge gardens filled with flowering and fruit-bearing trees. The scent of Jasmine, Rose and Sampaguita filled the air during it bloom and children usually climed up "Lomboy" (Duhat in Tagalog) trees and "Tarnate" (Balimbing) Trees.

They were built with sturdy materials, limestone blocks, molave posts and red-tile roofs. Floors basically had three colors: ivory-white tugas or molave, rich reddish brown bayong or tindalo and the jetblack iron-wood or kamagong.

Generally, houses in the Parian area in that period had covered sidewalks. The wide sidewalk, like the houses themselves were shaded with red-tile roofs called media-aguas or, in the native dialect, tayamtam. Thus the rain and the sun were kept away from the sidewalks. Children played there day and night.

....more later.

AAAAAARGGGGHH!!!!! BAD TRIP NA PUD!!! Na aksidente na pud ko sa freeway! about four months ago a big debris on the freeway hit the right front headlamps and fender of my car after hitting another car and I ended up claiming from my auto insurance company to pay for the repair but ended up paying for my $500 deductible and $300.00 auto rental for a week because I was not covered. I tried to make a claim from California Transportation agency to pay for my $800.00 dollar loss but I got a mail from them two days ago that they are not going to reimburse me anything. Then today I hit a 2' x 6" metal part again, it rammed on my front aftermarket front spoiler ripping it totally out and breaking one of my fog lamps. I drag a big piece of my spoiler underneath the car for more than a mile before it eventually separated by itself. What a big loss again, I don't want to make a claim from my insurance for the same reason coz they might just suspect me for something else and they'll just end up increasing my premium. Oh darn!!!

Tomas yields, to reopen road

IT TOOK a phone call from Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia to change Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña’s mind about reopening the Cebu South Coastal Road.

Osmeña yesterday said is he going to return public access to the coastal road “on a gradual basis over a period of 90 days.”

He said the governor called and asked him to reopen the P7-billion road whose closure has caused major inconvenience to motorists and commuters, especially from southern Cebu, these past three weeks.

“For her, okay but on a gradual basis, probably over a period of 90 days. See, I’m not too harsh. All you have to do is ask,” he said.

Garcia, for her part, said she is glad the mayor listened to her.

“I explained to him how difficult it was for the commuters to and from the south. He was considerate of our difficulties, and I’m very happy with his decision,” the governor said in a phone interview last night.

Timing

Osmeña’s move came just as Rep. Eduardo Gullas delivered a privilege speech in the House of Representatives asking the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to reopen the coastal road.

The timing of the mayor’s decision could not be better, some observers noted, as President Arroyo is coming to Cebu this weekend to attend a wedding and push for more investments in this part of the country.

Gullas (Cebu, 1st district) said the mayor was out to blackmail the President with the road closure so she would be pressured to release the special patents for the South Reclamation Project (SRP).

Cebu City and Talisay are locked in a bitter fight over a portion of the 295-hectare SRP that Gullas, who was then Talisay mayor, said falls within their jurisdiction. (See separate story)

Osmeña has issued security clearances and passes to a few private motorists so they could use the coastal road.

Government-owned vehicles bearing red plates, armored cars and Metropolitan Cebu Water District vehicles have been allowed entry but passengers are not allowed to stop and roam the SRP, as the need for additional security there will only increase, he said.

Pressure

The mayor, citing thefts, vandalism and drug trade in the area, closed the coastal road last April 8, barring private motorists from Talisay City and the southern towns from using the facility.

He also admitted that the closure was done because of the delay of the issuance of the SRP titles caused by Gullas’ claim that 53.44 hectares of the property encroached on Talisay’s territory.

Cebu City needs the titles so it could market the SRP to investors and pay back its loan, which has ballooned from P2.2 billion in 1996 to P6.3 billion, to the Japan Bank for International Cooperation.

At the House of Representatives, Gullas said the DPWH should reopen the coastal road for the “benefit of the commuting public.”

He pointed out that the road is a national project that was declared open by President Arroyo last April 27, 2004 for the commuting public from 26 towns and two cities of Cebu’s first, second and third districts, as well as Bohol, Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental.

Special

Gullas said Osmeña’s closure order violates the equal protection of laws provision of the Constitution, as he only allowed privileged and selected individuals as well as groups with “special passes” to use the road.

The congressman’s speech followed “widespread opposition from various sectors” like the local councils of Toledo and Talisay cities and other southern towns, the Cebu Provincial Board, business leaders, the Integrated Bar of the Philippines, women’s groups and religious leaders.

In a separate interview last night, Governor Garcia said she was “pleasantly surprised” by Osmeña’s turnaround since the mayor has been firm on his stand against reopening the coastal road—until Cebu City gets the SRP titles and road’s tunnel segment is finished. GAC
