Another (self serving) message from your MMDA chairman

Mechanized street sweeper helps improve Metro’s air quality

The Philippine Star

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryId=129696

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said that air quality along Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) is improving because of the agency's continuous dust and litter sweeping and vacuuming operations.

nasaan ang independent/third part study na magpapatunay na nag improve ang air quality sa EDSA

MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando said air circulating in the major thoroughfare which connects the Northern and Southern parts of Metro Manila is now fresher and cleaner.

Wow! sandali lang ha. bubuksan ko lang bintana ng opisina. along EDSA lang kasi....

ubo ubo ubo... shit! kahit linggo ganon pa rin. mausok at amoy mmda urinal pa rin

He said air quality along C-5, Roxas Boulevard and other major roads in Pasay City has also remarkably improved because carbon dust and other pollutants coming from trees and plants and those emitted by vehicle engines are regularly swept and vacuumed by Roadways Cleaning Operations Group (RCOG) personnel using truck-mounted giant sweeping machines as well as gutter and wall cleaners who work round-the-clock on two shifts.

Fernando reported that since the agency launched its massive cleaning and vacuuming operations initially along EDSA along with the crackdown launched by relevant agencies on carbon gas-emitting vehicles, the air that people breathe in these areas is 50 percent cleaner.

geez i can smell the bullshit

He announced that as soon as the ongoing upgrading of sidewalks along Edsa is completed, the RCOG will start to clean walkways regularly and even at night to brush away much dust from gutters and walls of the main thoroughfare.

"Offhand, I can assure everyone that before the year is over, when our sidewalk upgrading program is done, the entire stretch of sidewalks of Edsa would be walkable and people would shun riding jeepneys and buses for short trips," he said.

RCOG chief Francis Martinez said that apart from Metro aides manually sweeping and tending the plants on the road, seven giant mechanized sweepers, three gutter cleaners and four wall cleaners are out in the streets at the break of dawn to clean and vacuum the major roads until 4 p.m.

The second shift of RCOG personnel, with truck-mounted sweepers and cleaners in tow, takes over at 10 p.m. and works until 6 a.m. to clean and vacuum loading and unloading bays, underpasses and tunnels, Martinez said.

He said the difficult and dirtier job of cleaning the street infrastructure is being done by mechanized sweepers due to the spate of road accidents.

main reason bakit mausok ang metro manila. simple.. mga sasakyan. mas mausok sa mga lugar kung saan may u-turn slot kasi sobrang traffic.

by the way nakita ko ito oh. MMDA truck na smoke blecher. hahaha

Bayani won't go to congress

House to force Fernando to attend hearings

By DELON PORCALLA and RHODINA VILLANUEVA
The Philippine Star

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryId=129761

Two senior House members have filed a resolution that would compel Metro Manila Development Authority Chairman Bayani Fernando to attend hearings after he snubbed a recent Commission on Human Rights (CHR) hearing over MMDA’s cases of alleged unlawful evictions of sidewalk vendors.

Its about time

House Resolution 723, authored by Reps. Roilo Golez of Parañaque and Matias Defensor of Quezon City, directs the committee on human rights to hold hearings on human rights violations of the MMDA and force its chairman to rebut the charges.

Fernando, however, shrugged off reports that the two congressmen filed a resolution to question him on alleged human rights violations committed by the agency against sidewalk vendors.

"The proper venue for that is the court. I will only submit myself to investigation or interrogation only if it will be done through court proceedings," Fernando said in an interview.

Investigation nga ito. wala ka bang alam sa batas? may powers ang congress para tawagin mga opisyal ng executive branch. kasama doon si bayani. baka naman akala ni bf monarchy tayo at siya ang hari.

He said "it is already outside the power of Congress to intervene in such matters which... are being treated as a political issue."

ano tawag mo sa mga billboards ni bayani? hindi ba may political motives siya. praning lang si BF.

"Not one of them is even my congressman. They should not interfere on things like this. What they should attend to are the needs of their respective constituents," Fernando added.

The statements of Bayani Fernando only shows he's not fit to be president of the philippines. walang alam sa batas. sus kahit anong committee sa congress pwede kang tawagin. bakit ba ayaw pumunta ni bayani fernando sa congress? ano ba kinatatakot nya? akala ko ba matapang siya. baka naman ang kaya nya lang eh ang mga sidewalk vendors. teka hindi pala nya kaya mga sidewalk vendors. sige nga bayani, punta ka sa quiapo at paalisin mo lahat ng mga vendors doon na nag iisa. hindi mo kasama ang mga goons mo ha. ewan ko lang kung makakauwi ka ng marikina ng buhay.

In a joint statement, Golez and Defensor branded Fernando as "callous" after he continuously refused to answer complaints against the MMDA filed before the CHR by sidewalk vendors and informal settlers in Metro Manila, who have all been victims of the agency’s harsh and "inhuman eviction."

"Fernando… has not attended the hearings before the CHR, showing his disregard not only for the rule of law but also for his responsibility to account and be responsible for his actions and the enforcement and implementation by his men," they said.

di ba ang mga taong may ugaling urbanidad eh masunirin sa batas? eh ano itong ugali ni bayani? bakit ayaw nya pumunta sa mga hearings na ito. may tinatago ba siya? hmmm....

Golez, a known critic of Fernando, said there is a need for a House probe, as he cited a news report in which CHR chairwoman Leila de Lima said the MMDA is being "very highhanded. Their approach is authoritarian, and that is not good. The illegal settlers should be helped, not treated that way. It has become really alarming."

Golez, who belongs to the opposition bloc, said the MMDA "should not employ excessive or unnecessary violence on street vendors and resort to the destruction of their means of livelihood, nor resort to illegal or unlawful means in carrying out their functions."

Defensor, chairman of the House committee on justice, said even the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor, in its report, observed flaws in the conduct by the MMDA of its demolition and eviction operations in urban poor communities.

"The patently harsh and whimsical method by which the MMDA is carrying out its operations constitutes human rights violations," he said.

Fernando’s AM station on hold

Meanwhile, several congressmen have decided to hold in abeyance a legislative franchise sought by the MMDA to put up a nationwide AM radio station , even if the agency’s scope is just within the metropolis.

Ano!?! Meron na ngang radio station ang MMDA at Marikina City, gusto pa nya ng isa. sobra na ito. by the way may nakikinig bang tao sa mga radio stations ng MMDA at Marikina? what a waste of public funds.

DZBF (Radyo ng Marikina 1674 kHz Metro Manila)

The franchise is covered by a bill filed by Fernando’s townmate, Marikina Rep. Del de Guzman.

I bet utos ito ni BF na magfile ng bill ang kanyang townmate

Defensor, Judy Syjuco of Iloilo and Nanette Castelo-Daza of Quezon City and Ruffy Biazon of Muntinlupa City expressed apprehension that Fernando might use it as a campaign vehicle for his presidential bid in 2010 "with or without the support" of his party, the ruling Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats.

Iloilo Rep. Ferjenel Biron, who heads the House committee on legislative franchises, is "doubtful" of the radio station’s objective, as MMDA already has a newspaper known as Pahayagan ng Bayan in which pictures of Fernando are the "main features" of its issues.

kapal talaga. ano akala nya sa taong bayan, tanga?

"We will give him (Fernando) the benefit of the doubt that the proposed radio station is not in pursuit of his political plans," Biron said, who hinted that if ever a franchise is granted to MMDA, the congressional permit will only be confined to Metro Manila.

The lawmakers said that the station could duplicate the functions of existing government broadcast facilities.

The deliberations were also suspended because Fernando did not attend the hearing, no documents were presented to prove the MMDA Council – composed of Metro Manila’s 17 mayors – approved the application for franchise, and the lack of endorsement from the Office of the Press Secretary.

hahaha... BUKING!!!

Go BAMA!!!

Watched over and over the speech of Sen. Barack Obama at DNC 2008 convention. It made me cry. So powerful so inspiring. My mom said Obama reminds her of President John F. Kennedy.

Is SM Marikina structurally safe?

May article si Jojo Robles ng Manila Standard tungkol sa presidential ambitions ni Bayani Fernando. http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=jojoRobles_aug27_2008 Napaisip ako doon sa part tungkol sa SM Marikina... "Speaking of Bayani’s friends, we wonder if mall magnate Henry Sy isn’t among those people that the MMDA chairman is counting on to provide major funding for his early-bird campaign to become president. That’s because some people in Bayani’s home turf of Marikina City (where Bayani’s wife Marides Carlos Fernando, or MCF, is mayor) are asking why Sy’s newest mall on the eastern bank of the river on Marcos Highway was provided a free off-and-on ramp complex by the government—which is supposedly short of funds for any major infrastructure project that presumably has higher priority. And how true are reports that the contractor for the new SM Marikina mall is none other that Bayani’s own BF Corp.? With Bayani acting as Metro Manila regional development council boss, his wife as the local chief executive providing all the city permits and his construction company building the mall and the taxpayer-funded ramps, you have to wonder if Sy isn’t way up there in the list of Bayani’s most favored."


Safe kaya itong mall na ito? Folks isipin ninyo
1. itong building na ito ay tinayo sa tabi ng Marikina River flood plain. di ba malabot ang lupa sa mga ganitong lugar? at malapit lang ito sa marikina fault line

http://img469.imageshack.us/img469/6466/riverjpgdx4.jpg


2. Ito ay ginawa ng BF Constrution. Sabi pa sa akin ng mga kaibigan ko sa Marikina na ang lupa kung saan itinayo ang SM Marikina ay nabili ng SM sa biyenan ni Bayani Fernando.

gulat ako dito ah. sa wakas nagising na rin sa katotohanan yung mga tao dyan sa inquirer.

MANILA, Philippines—It’s a case of too early the hero for Bayani Fernando, it seems. The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman has made his political intentions clear by plastering his face all over MMDA-managed traffic islands and posts some two years before the presidential election, and he is threatening to do the same thing all over the country. The self-promotion is calculated and well-engineered (it’s not for nothing that Fernando is an engineer and construction businessman). It ensures he’ll be in the public’s reckoning when the time to pick presidential candidates comes around. If he does not make it, he can still be in the running as a running-mate or falling short again, as a candidate for the Senate, that chamber of presidential pretenders.

ginagawa na po ni bayani yung pag paplaster ng mga pictures/billboards nya sa buong pilipinas.

http://mgasidecommentsko.blogspot.com/2008/08/where-in-philippines-is-bayani-fernando.html

Fernando is already a pretender and interloper—at the expense of the public. And his pretentiousness knows no bounds. In the run-up to the Ninoy Aquino Day and National Heroes Day, the MMDA distributed stickers and other paraphernalia bearing his name, which means “hero” in English. Motorists put the stickers on their windshields and those who violated traffic rules were reportedly treated leniently by MMDA traffic enforcers. Pressed to explain the stickers, the Land Transportation Office said it’s illegal to put just any sticker on windshields and asked motorists to remove them.

pretender -- panggap

matagal ko nang alam na panggap lang ito si bayani fernando. trapo talaga yan. kita ninyo lumabas na ang tunay na kulay.

interloper -- pakielamero dahil sa sariling madamot na intensyon. lalim naman non. hahaha sorry na.

naisip nyo na ba bakit gustong tumakbo for president si bayani fernando? hmmm.... research mode....

The attempt at self-canonization is both pathetic and sacrilegious. Only the extreme egoist could put himself on the level of patriots and heroes, who are there in the pantheon not by self-aggrandizement but by collective acclamation. And if heroism, in the case of Aquino and others like him, is self-sacrifice and self-immolation, how can Fernando claim to be in their league? He is making martyrs of us all by his insufferable arrogance.

sa pangalan ka lang bayani, bayani... sabi nila bayani ka dahil sa ginawa mo sa marikina... talaga lang ha. ikaw lang ba ang opisyal sa marikina? did you gave credit to those people (kakkapi at kritiko mo) who transformered marikina. heroes are not selfish. ikaw bayani ganon ka ba? ito na itatawag ko sa iyo... Max Alvarado, Paquito Diaz, at Romy Diaz... teka wag na lang. insulto ito kela Max baka dalawin pa ako ng mga yumaong kontrabida.

Parañaque City Rep. Roilo Golez has asked Fernando to junk his presidential ambition. He pointed to recent surveys showing Fernando nowhere near the magic circle of presidential hopefuls. Making fun of Fernando’s propensity to put U-turns at just about every busy street in the metropolis, Golez said, “It’s time he makes a U-turn on his presidential ambition.”

hahaha LOL

The issue is more than popularity and whether or not Fernando has a fighting chance in his presidential bid. The issue is using the people’s money for electioneering. By filling the streets with his self-advertisement, Fernando is using public funds for self-aggrandizement. The widespread and sustained campaign to put his face and name at just about every corner of the metropolis goes way beyond the bounds of public information. Who is paying for his huge tarpaulins hanging along major roads? Who is paying for his provincial trips, including the one in Aklan province where he brought along the MMDA band?

naku hindi tanga ang mga tao. alam na nila kung sino.

In fact, Fernando has gone beyond mere self-promotion. Some eager-beaver senators who harbor presidential ambitions may have suddenly become very visible around the country via giant billboards and print and broadcast advertisements where they espouse their favorite advocacies and pet projects. In some instances, they have become endorsers and image models of skin whiteners and other vanity products. But at least they are not using public funds for their visibility campaign.

This is not to say that Fernando’s very evident electioneering should be stopped, and those of the other tolerated. This is why we join the call of Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago for the Commission on Elections to enforce the Omnibus Election Code of 1985, particularly Sec. 80, which makes it unlawful for any person to engage in an election campaign or partisan political activity, except during the campaign period.

As Fernando and the others have shown, the prohibition against premature campaigning has been blatantly circumvented by self-advertisements disguised as advocacy or lifestyle ads. The presidential hopefuls may not have declared their intentions, but this is specious and a manifestation of bad faith at the least. They have been campaigning all along at the cost of public resources and, in the case of Fernando’s tarpaulin madness, at the cost of public space. All of this vainglorious self-promotion has made Metro Manila a terrible eyesore. Fernando and the other presidential aspirants should stop inflicting their images on the motorists and the general public.

teka trapo ba tawag mo sa kanila?

First out of the nutbox

And the first declared candidate in the 2010 presidential elections is none other than... Bayani Fernando? I don’t know if I should laugh or cry.

Ako naiinis

Finally—and to no one’s surprise—the metropolis’ chief traffic aide, the father of the U-turns and of state-sanctioned bus-jackings, has declared his intentions. Typically, Fernando says he will run for president in the next elections with or without the support of the ruling Lakas-CMD coalition.

All the same, Bayani told an interviewer that he is confident of the endorsement of President Arroyo and other party leaders because he is qualified to be the next “no-nonsense president of this country.” Never mind if his name isn’t even one of those being considered by the coalition for the position.

baka no singing talent president of this country

“I’m the only one of the presidential hopefuls who has declared my intention to run this early,” he declared. As if that would improve his chances of winning.

But Bayani hinted that he already has the money and the organization to run a nationwide campaign. “Even if the party doesn’t pick me, I will continue with the campaign because I have a lot of friends who will help me,” said the MMDA chairman, who likes to be addressed “Secretary Fernando.”

Money: pera ng bayan

organization: MMDA at Marikina City Gov't

But President Fernando? To paraphrase the old joke, I was told when I was young that anyone could become president. With Bayani gunning for the highest office in the land, now I know that to be true.

In a way, we should be grateful that Fernando has announced his candidacy. Being a mere appointed official, he must now resign from his post if he has any shame and sense of propriety—or be fired posthaste by his boss.

Why? Because from here on in, anything Bayani does can and should be interpreted as being done in furtherance of his declared ambition. And he retains an undue advantage over other candidates who do not have taxpayers bankrolling his high profile—including the giant posters of himself that do nothing but add to the billboard forest that blights the city.

Of course, the Omnibus Election Code’s Article IX, Section 66 states that “any person holding a public appointive office or position, including active members of the Armed Forces and officers and employees in government-owned or -controlled corporations, shall be considered ipso facto resigned from his office upon the filing of his certificate of candidacy.” But since Bayani has declared for the presidency this early, he must understand that not all of us taxpayers are among the “friends” he brags about, and some of us will not foot the bill for his overweening ambition.

There is a reason why the law prevents people holding appointive office like Bayani from using their position to further their political plans. And just because he has declared but has not filed his certificate (something he can’t do anyway, because Comelec isn’t accepting any at the moment) doesn’t mean that Bayani can’t launch his campaign using money that he doesn’t own or wasn’t donated to him by his so-called friends.

ano ngayon ang pinagkaiba ni bayani fernando sa iba pang trapo dyan? wala. pareho lang sila

As soon as Bayani steps down, he can campaign all he wants using his own money. But until he does, will the voters please remember that the MMDA chairman is using taxpayer funds and is even getting a salary to get to Malacanang?

Where are those eager-beaver Senate investigators—many of them also undeclared presidential candidates quick to strike down any potential rival in 2010—when you really need them?

* * *

Speaking of Bayani’s friends, we wonder if mall magnate Henry Sy isn’t among those people that the MMDA chairman is counting on to provide major funding for his early-bird campaign to become president. That’s because some people in Bayani’s home turf of Marikina City (where Bayani’s wife Marides Carlos Fernando, or MCF, is mayor) are asking why Sy’s newest mall on the eastern bank of the river on Marcos Highway was provided a free off-and-on ramp complex by the government—which is supposedly short of funds for any major infrastructure project that presumably has higher priority.

hmmm i smell something...

And how true are reports that the contractor for the new SM Marikina mall is none other that Bayani’s own BF Corp.? With Bayani acting as Metro Manila regional development council boss, his wife as the local chief executive providing all the city permits and his construction company building the mall and the taxpayer-funded ramps, you have to wonder if Sy isn’t way up there in the list of Bayani’s most favored.

true nga eh...ito ang link oh...

SM Marikina

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SM_City_Marikina

Doesn’t the construction of the ramp complex to favor one mall—probably the only mall in the country to receive such preferential treatment from the people who identify priority infrastructure projects—sound suspicious? Especially since the contractor for the project is none other than the one owned conjugally by the two government officials who have the power (and the chutzpah, really) to “facilitate” its construction?

sounds like the voice of bayani fernando

As for the less moneyed people who seem to want to be counted among the friends of the MMDA chairman, how true are the reports buzzing all over the Internet that vehicles that carry the overly large “BAYANI” banners with the flag on them are routinely waved off by MMDA traffic enforcers when they violate traffic laws? And, like the tarpaulins along Edsa and elsewhere that feature Bayani’s face, is taxpayer money being used for these rolling campaign streamers, as well?

To the people who have asked me if the report that traffic aides give stickered vehicles a free pass is true, I routinely reply that I wouldn’t really know. The last thing I would do to my own car is to plaster the name of Bayani along its entire length—and I drive a very small car.

Bayani, of course, has been known to brush aside any criticism of his official acts—especially about their legal aspects. Which should give anyone who considers his candidacy pause.

I get it bakit hindi manakikinig si BF sa mga critics nya. nabingi na siya sa sarili nyang boses. hahaha

But that’s Bayani all over. Except that now that he’s a declared presidential candidate, he must know that he cannot brush aside all questions about his actions, official or otherwise.

No-nonsense president? We should be thankful that the presidency is one of those positions Bayani can’t get appointed to and abuse.

MMDA disowns ‘Bayani’ stickers on buses

http://www.gmanews.tv/story/114616/MMDA-disowns-Bayani-stickers-on-buses

MANILA, Philippines - The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Tuesday disowned the "BAYANI" stickers displayed on the windshield of passenger buses.

However, MMDA general manager Roberto Nacianceno admitted the stickers with the words "BAYANI" and the Philippine flag beside it were from the private fund of MMDA chairman Bayani Fernando.

"Pera ni chairman (Fernando) 'yun...sariling pondo ni chairman (That is from chairman Fernando's private fund)," Nacianceno said in an interview with radio dzBB's Mike Enriquez.

ok so pera ni chairman... sino niloko nyo?

The MMDA official said the distribution of stickers was a private effort of Fernando and the MMDA has nothing to do with it.

ano kami mga tanga!

He added MMDA employees were not authorized to distribute it.

"We are not authorizing them to do that (posting of stickers on the buses)," Nacianceno said.

He said only those posters and tarpaulins which indicate "Government Property" or "Printed by MMDA" are funded by the agency.

He believed some private individuals have put on "BAYANI" stickers on their vehicles.

"'Yung iba baka ginagawa na lang at dinidikit on their own (Maybe some, on their own, posted a similar sticker)," Nacianceno said.

talaga lang ha

Fernando had earlier expressed desire to run for president in the 2010 elections. - Amita Legaspi, GMANews.TV




=============================================

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storyPage.aspx?storyId=128497

Motorists, commuters question 'Bayani' stickers

Stickers bearing the word "BAYANI" are on buses plying Metro Manila's roads.

The stickers are synonymous to the word "hero," a fitting tribute as the country commemorates Ninoy Aquino's death anniversary and the upcoming National Heroes' Day.

But "Bayani" is also the name of Manila's traffic czar, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman Bayani Fernando.

With the long vacation up ahead, passengers could not help but react to it.

"Para saan... Wala pa namang personality si Fernando na magkaganyan di ba?," said commuter Mario Rafael.

"Double purpose siguro.... So OK lang siguro na magdikit ng bayan but not for personal [reasons]. Magpakabayani na lang siya," said commuter Brenda Caingol.

But the Integrated Metropolitan Bus Operators Association (IMBOA) defended the posting of the stickers.

Posted two months ago, it was meant to celebrate the country's independence.

"Kung kay Chairman Fernando yan, marami sigurong operator na natutuwa kay Chairman dahil iba na yung ugali niya ngayon," said IMBOA president Claire de la Fuente.

o baka naman ninyo nilagay para makalusot kayo sa mga MMDA kotong boys

The MMDA admitted they ordered the bus operators to post the stickers, but clarifieed it was not meant for politicking.

Teka..ano nga sabi ni Nacianceno ...."We are not authorizing them to do that (posting of stickers on the buses),"

"Ang inilagay natin ay "Bayani." Nagkataon na ‘yong ating Chairman ay Bayani. Hindi na nila natanggal," MMDA Traffic Enforcement chief Bobby Esquivel.

"Ako, ako mismo nagpalabas kami niyan. Bayani. Eh hindi ko na alam. Siguro ginaya na ng mga tao kasi nagagandahan sila," said Fernando.

so Nacianceno is lying...straight from the gwapo's mouth

Institute for Political and Electoral Reform executive director Ramon Casiple however did not conform with their opinion.

"Lusot siya pero magkakaroon ng epekto yan sa mga botante. Merong mga botanteng maiinis sa ginagawa yan. Ilan diyan pera ng bayan," Casiple said.

in short mr director casiple ginagago ang mga tao ni bayani fernando

A vocal presidential candidate for 2010 polls, Fernando even went as far as Cabanatuan City to boost his popularity.

Cabanatuan motorists earlier thought they were in EDSA, the capital’s main thoroughfare, when they saw his giant posters all over the city, telling the motorists to adhere to traffic rules and regulations. Israel Malasa, ABS-CBN News

Filipinos can learn from Thai experience

By GERRY CARPIO
The Philippine Star

BEIJING — Philippine sports officials said we should learn from the lessons of the Beijing Olympics to give Filipino athletes a higher level of competence and improve their medal chances in international competitions.

Philippine Sports Commission chairman William “Butch” Ramirez said the Philippines should now focus its efforts on the very few sports which give the country a realistic chance of winning a medal.

“Talent identity should start very early and those chosen must have the commitment to train long – eight to 12 years – to win a medal in the Olympics,” he said.

Thailand, which won two gold medals, one silver and two bronzes in the Beijing Olympics, had put its full support behind weightlifting and boxing and is now reaping dividends.

kitams. ok ang weightlifting sa mga pinoy pero yung boxing duda ako doon. sure nakapagproduce tayo ng mga magagaling na pro boxers pero olympics ito pre. sa olympic boxing tatlo ang kalaban ng pinoy boxer.
1. kalaban na boxer
2. referee
3. judges

open sa daya. hindi ko alam bakit pa tayo nag coconcentrate sa boxing at taekwondo. mahirap talagang manalo kung ganito.

The majority of Thailand’s 21 Olympic medals came from the boxing ring with the sports of weightlifting and taekwondo adding medals to the tally in recent years.

Light flyweight Payao Pooltarat won Thailand’s first Olympic medal, claiming bronze at the 1976 Games in Montreal, Canada, but the country had to wait another 20 years to crown its first Olympic champion.

Featherweight Somluck Kamsing won a gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Games and became a national hero. Similar honors were bestowed on flyweight Wijan Ponlid when he won gold four years later at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia.

Thailand’s most successful Games was in Athens where, on the back of an outstanding four-medal haul by the country’s female weightlifting team, it collected a record eight medals, including an unprecedented three golds.

Light welterweight Manus Boonjumnong became the country’s third Olympic boxing champion while female weightlifters Udomporn Polsak (53kg) and Pawina Thongsuk (78kg) also collected golds.

Its Beijing achievements were two golds – by Somnit Jongjohor in the flyweight class in boxing and Jaroenrattanatarakoon in the women’s 53kg in weightlifting. It had a silver from Boonjumnong in the light welterweight in boxing and Puedpong Buttree in the women’s –49 kg in taekwondo.

The talent-identity program for boxers in Thailand starts at age 10 since this is the time kids are introduced to muay thai, the national sport.

There is at least one muay thai boxing tournament every day throughout Thailand and there are more on Saturdays and Sundays,” Pradit Nitiyanant, senior editor of a Bangkok newspaper said.

They are trained since they are 10 years old in the national boxing pool, from which the best Olympic materials are chosen to undergo intensive training in Cuba under Cuban mentors then sent to Europe to test their mettle in a series of tuneup tournaments.

in short grass root level ang training nila. dito sa pilipinas basketball lang ang ganyan

Pradit said Thailand didn’t know much of international boxing until over 40 years ago when boxing legend Gabriel “Flash” Elorde went to Thailand to teach muay kids his art of boxing.

“Your Gabriel Elorde and Papa Sarreal (the father in law and coach) introduced international boxing to Thailand,” he said.

Pradit said Thailand trains three generations of weightlifters under a resident Chinese coach that handles one lifter for at least five years until he is ripe for Olympic competition.

The young generation of lifters ensures that the country has new successors for retiring Olympians, he said.

Before the financial crisis hit Indonesia in 1996, the country was the world’s best source for top archers. Now, Indonesia’s main concentration for the Olympics is badminton. Eighteen of the country’s 26 medals come from badminton, with its 2008 delegation contributing one gold, (men’s doubles), one silver (mixed doubles) and one silver (women’s singles). All five of Indonesia’s Olympic champions are badminton players.

dapat talaga focus ng pilipinas ay sa mga sports na definite ang results, sports na kita kaagad ang result ng effort mo, like weightlifting, archery, at shooting. forget basketball, height is might, eh lahi tayo ng malilit. kahit puro fil-am ang padala mo sa mga qualifying tournaments eh talo pa rin ng china at korea. pang south east asia lang tayo. swimming forget it. again pang matangkad at mahahabang braso lang ito. boxing ang taekwondo, masyadong controversial. palagi na lang talo sa mga judges.

Football is the national sport of Indonesia but badminton has a very large base of practitioners like muay thai does in Thailand. Their domination in the world has produced a steady supply of international talents for the Olympics.

It has also gained headway in weightlifting where it won two bronze medals in Beijing.

Vietnam, toughened by one of the longest, brutal wars in recent history, has put emphasis on its taekwondo training. With its lean delegation to the Olympics, it had only two Olympic medals – the first in 2000 and the second in 2008 – both in taekwondo.

Malaysia is shifting from the medal-rich event of swimming to badminton while Singapore is into table tennis, a low-profile sport ruled traditionally by China.

Ramirez said giving all 36 sports in the Philippines equal support would not only spread the resources thin but will lessen the full support elite sports need to be competitive in the Olympics.

“Even if you have a P30 million Olympic program a year, that won’t solve the problem because it s just a short cut. We need long term efforts and long term commitments,” he said.

U-turn slots help save P40M in fuel--MMDA study

U-turn slots help save P40M in fuel--MMDA study

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/metro/view/20080824-156561/U-turn-slots-help-save-P40M-in-fuel--MMDA-study

MANILA, Philippines--An in-house study by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority showed that its often-maligned U-turn slot scheme on major thoroughfares save some P40-P50 million in fuel every year, the agency said on Sunday.

take note: an in-house study... meaning open sa daya. dapat may isang agency or organization ang mga verify nito. masyadon self serving.

The MMDA also said that its rerouting schemes have been enabling motorists to save more than P2 billion every year since 2005 in terms of gains in opportunity and productivity as a result of speedier traffic.

The cost-savings analysis was based on findings from the monitoring and study of Metro Manila traffic by the Traffic Engineering Center of the MMDA, the agency's public information office said.

"In terms of fuel savings only, P42.84 million is saved every year since 2005 on normal U-turn slots on non-widened roads, while P51.45 million is saved on U-turn slots on widened roads," MMDA Chair Bayani Fernando said.

if its too good to be true, its probably not true

MMDA officials said the savings resulted from significant increases in the average vehicular speed along the 23 U-turn slots set up by the agency on major thoroughfares.

"In terms of total savings to motorists, or the savings in take-home pay and ... opportunity and productivity, it was revealed that up to P2.33 billion is saved every year since 2005," the MMDA said.

MMDA officials said that despite the brickbats thrown their way because of the "unconventional" U-turn slot scheme, "what they don't know is that the U-turn slot has operational efficiency in time and space."

"At a U-turn slot, the flow of vehicles is non-stop and non-gap," the MMDA said.

"This is felt even more when traveling at night, in which the flow of traffic at the U-turn slot is continuous, unlike some corners where motorists need to stop at the red light," the agency said.

Last week, the TEC also reported much faster travel times along C-5 Kalayaan, which registered an increase of 90 percent since the elevated U-turn interchange was formally opened to motorists.

talaga lang ha. verified na ba ito ng LTO at Makati city hall?

"The U-turn or modified rotunda scheme is one of our solutions in areas with traffic gridlock problems like C-5 Kalayaan," Fernando said in a statement issued by the PIO.

The MMDA further said accidents arising from the use of concrete barriers at U-turn slots accounted for 0.13 percent of total road accidents, or 84 cases from a total of 63,072 since 2007.

sigudo walang 0.13 percent sa total accidents kung walang turn slots

The agency said the figures were based on the Metropolitan Manila Accident Reporting and Analysis System, which studied data from all police stations in Metro Manila.

Based on the data, from January 2005 to July 2008, 2,344 accidents occurred at 11 intersections on Edsa with signal lights, compared to just 499 accidents at 23 U-turn slots in the area.

this is only in EDSA how about sa ibang lugar? bakit madami tayo naririnig at napapanood na balita na aksidente dulot ng mga u turn slots. again doubious ang mga data ni bayani fernando. nagpapapogi lang.

It also showed that eight deaths and 237 injuries were monitored at intersections with signal lights, compared to just five deaths and 43 injuries at U-turn slots, the MMDA said.

sus ilang u-turn slots at ilang intersection ba ang nasa metro manila. sigurado naman masmaraming intersection with signal lights. masmataas pa rin ng percentage ng aksidente at ng namamatay ng u-turn slots.

hello PDI. unbalanced naman ng reporting ninyo. hindi ninyo kinuha yung kabilang side. buti na lang ang ABC-CBN. http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryId=129202

Team Philippines: Who’s the biggest flop of all?

http://sports.inquirer.net/inquirersports/inquirersports/view/20080814-154542/Team-Philippines-Whos-the-biggest-flop-of-all

BEIJING—They flew here to look for the best and brightest athletes but, after three dismal Philippine failures—in shooting, weightlifting and swimming—members of the Filipino media were caught wondering who’s the dumbest among the early Filipino losers.

That’s no longer funny. Especially for Jose Cojuangco, intrepid head of the Philippine Olympic Committee, who in Manila loved to say he smelled a medal for the Filipino in this 29th Summer Olympics.

what the fuck! ano pinagsasabi nitong kumag na ito? ano klaseng columnist ito si recah trinidad. ikaw recah ang biggest flop sa olympics. second biggest flop is your son, chino.

hirap kasi sa mga sports columnist mga frustrated athletes. rereklamo ka pa recah at dismal ang performance ng philippines sa olympics eh kayong mga sports columnist din dapat sisihin kasama ang mga sports officials. baket? eh puro basketball ang sinusulat at pinopromote ninyo. palagi na lang basketball ang laman ng mga sports pages. paano na ang ibang sports? NBA, PBA, UAAP, NCAA, etc. sus hindi talaga mananalo ang pilipinas ng gold medal sa olympics kung basketball lang ang binibigyan ng pansin. tapos mag rereklamo ka recah na bano ang mga pinoy sa ibang sports.

hay naku recah wala kang kwenta. so what kung walang medal mauwi ang mga atleta natin makakakuha ka ba ng bonus mula sa inquirer? ano magiging proud ka as a filipino?

Good that Cojuangco, an incurable optimist, did not predict an outright first gold medal for the Philippines.

A grizzled politician, the man also knew the honest limitations of the 15-man RP contingent that pitifully got outnumbered by free-riding officials.

* * *

So let the search for the biggest flop begin.

Shooter Eric Ang did the (dis)honor of starting silly by shooting anything but the birds in the trap event, RP’s first bid on the first day of Olympic action.

Ang, said to be a crony of a Malacañang’s favorite governor from the North, did his best as promised but, as fate would have it, missed all but one of the targets to finish at the bottom.

He got disoriented, overwhelmed, he explained, obviously thinking he was out on a merchant group hunt for tame October snipes.

Instantly, they also had to wonder if this was the same lone entry that made Cojuangco predict a possible medal in shooting.

* * *

In fairness to Hidilyn Diaz, a cute, tiny weightlifter, she had said she did not realistically hope for a medal here, not even if all the top bets fell ill on competition day.

The daughter of a tricycle driver from Zamboanga, she inevitably developed a liking for the sport after her unforgiving daily task of hauling hefty pails of water from a far-off well for household use.

Of course, she could have finished better than 11th in a field of 12.

A bit odd but you also have to look and listen as she made the wholesale, straight-faced vow to win in the next Olympics.

“I’m sure I can win in London,” she told the Philippine Daily Inquirer as she toured the vast, sun-beaten, crowded Tiananmen Square on Tuesday.

Her best lift of 107 kilos in the snatch bested the RP mark; although the eventual winner did 134 kilos.

She’s only 17 and her coach, Seoul Olympian Ramon Solis, pointed to the fact that the gold hauler from host China team was already over 30, twice the age of Hidilyn.

* * *

That alone should put Diaz out of the dumbest scroll.

But readily giving shooter Ang a run for his money at the end of action Tuesday was the celebrated swimmer Miguel Molina, voted most outstanding athlete of the 2007 Southeast Asian Games.

After surprisingly pulling out of his first event, Molina returned to the pool to take a shot at the 200-meter breaststroke semifinals later Tuesday.

Lucky he did not drown.

Molina was so mediocre he could only clock 2:16.94, a far cry from the 2:16.62 he registered in breaking the national mark while in the United States.

That record swim, by the way, qualified Molina to the Olympics but the phenomenal tanker who did that feat has so far not shown up in the current Beijing Summer Games.

* * *

Anyway, there should be a turn for the better when boxer Harry Tañamor, the top RP medal hope who was still overweight Tuesday, has fought his first bout against a Ghanian late Wednesday.

At least two other top medal bets, taekwondo’s Antoinette Rivero and Tshomlee Go, will join in the lonely medal hunt later.

Meanwhile, long jumper Henry Dagmil, whom Cojuangco had predicted would make the standard and readily qualify, will compete on Saturday.

Dagmil made it as the country’s mandatory male entry in athletics after failing to sail past the Olympic qualifying mark despite repeated tries.

There are solid signs he would be a lead flop among failed RP campaigners here after Saturday.

Arroyo not gunning for term extension--El Shaddai leader

First Posted 22:24:00 08/17/2008

MANILA, Philippines--El Shaddai Leader Mariano "Mike" Velarde said on Sunday he suggested to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo that she abandon plans to amend the Constitution until after the end of her term in 2010, warning that to amend the country's charter now would be divisive.

"My position is always to have a constitutional convention in 2010 so that the issues can be extensively discussed," Velarde said in an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer (parent company of INQUIRER.net).

"My advice was to postpone Cha-cha—it's very divisive—and to have Con-con by electing delegates during the elections. Let it go until 2010," he said.

Mike. as if nakikinig sa iyo si Gloria. gusto nya lang eh mga boto ng nauuto mo tuwing linggo.

Inspite of an upset stomach and fever last week, Arroyo joined 35,000 El Shaddai faithful during rain-drenched celebrations at the Quirino Grandstand on Saturday night, marking the 24th anniversary of the religious movement and Velarde's 69th birthday.

Siguro may kailangan si Gloria kay mike kaya pumunta. mukhang desperado.

The President had dinner and heard a 10 p.m. Mass with Velarde and his family. According to El Shaddai members, she stayed for about three hours. They also noted that it was her longest stay in the prayer-rally, as she usually only attended the mass.

The spiritual adviser to the President said he discussed with her moves to change the 1987 Constitution and proposals from administration allies in the House of Representatives to extend her term, which would end in 2010.

"spiritual adviser to the President" I wonder ano ang binibigay nyang advise? sigurado ako hindi tumatalab kay gloria

If the overhauling of the 1987 Charter were left to lawmakers, Velarde said it would not be representative of the people's wishes. He said he also expressed suspicions that some lawmakers would push for their own interests, referring to proposals to extend the terms of incumbent elected officials.

"Cha-cha will not solve our problems," Velarde stressed.

Should the proposal for a constitutional convention push through, Velarde said he "might consider" running for delegate. "I want a Charter that is really reflective of the people and suited for what we are today," he said.

Velarde, whose charismatic movement boasts of around five million members, said he expected moves in the House to amend the Charter would peter out. He said the proposal had many legal hurdles to overcome and that some senators opposed the measure.

He also told the President that tinkering with the Constitution to make way for the peace agreement between the government and the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) would be a bad move for the country in the long run.

"What would stop other groups from calling for the same? It's a bad precedent," he said.

The President did not say anything about his advice, Velarde said. However, she explained that the idea to change the 1987 Constitution did not come from her but from the April resolution filed in the Senate by Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr.

"She was exploring the possibility of federalism under the proposal of Senator Pimentel," Velarde said.

Malacañang has announced support of Pimentel's federalism bill as it would allow the creation of the Bangsamoro Juridical Entity envisioned in the draft memorandum of agreement with the MILF.

Velarde also noted that the President acknowledged that any plans to amend the Charter from the House would not succeed unless the Senate would support it.

As to proposals to extend the President's term beyond 2010, Velarde said he believed that it was not part of Arroyo's plans.

Velarde said the President asked for his support so that her projects would be completed before the end of her term. She did not ask for his support in her allies' campaign for Charter change and the reported extension of her term, Velarde stressed.

Ganon din yon...gago!

"I am confident and I have no doubts that she will end her term in 2010," he said.

wanna bet? kiss my puwet!

He admitted that there would always be suspicions over Arroyo's declarations because she broke her promise not to run in the 2004 elections, but that he was praying that she would stand by her word to step aside come 2010.

Triple gold for history-maker Hoy

Agence France-Presse
First Posted 19:54:00 08/19/2008

BEIJING—Flying Scotsman Chris Hoy equalled a 100-year-old British Olympic record on his way to winning his third gold medal of the Beijing Games on Tuesday.

Hoy, who had already won gold in the team sprint and keirin, claimed his first ever Olympic sprint crown after a dominant display over teammate Jason Kenny.

Kenny, a 20-year-old from Bolton, England, who is competing in his first Olympics, picked up the silver and will go home with two medals having won gold in the team sprint with Hoy and third team member Jamie Staff of England.

The bronze medal went to Mickael Bourgain of France after he dominated Germany's Maximilian Levy in a third leg decider.

The 32-year-old Hoy, who was born in Edinburgh, now has a total of five Olympic medals, four of them gold.

In Athens he won the kilometer time trial crown on its last Olympic appearance and in Sydney four years earlier he claimed silver in the team sprint behind France.

The last time a British athlete won three Olympic golds in a single edition of the Games was in 1908 when swimmer Henry Cotton took triple gold.

After his displays in the keirin and team sprint, in which he was unbeaten, Hoy went into the final against his younger teammate as the big favorite.

However Kenny has been one of the revelations of the track here, and gave Hoy a run for his money in their first match where Hoy had to make an effort to come back and take the win at the finish.

With victory in sight, Hoy kept Kenny on a tighter rein in the second match, and although it was neck and neck coming round the final bend Hoy was celebrating before he came over the finish line.
