BOHOLANOS EAGER FOR NEXT AUMENTADO MEGA PROJECTS

THE BOHOL STANDARD
By: June S. Blanco
Issued: April 4, 2010

The Boholanos have given a two-thumbs up rating to the next st of mega projects Gov. Erico Aumentado is mulling for the province.

The high rating came through this year's Bohol Poll - the yearly survey conducted by the Holy Name University (HNU) Research Center using expertise acquired in 1997 from the Social weather Stations (SWS) through the Governance and Local Democracy (Gold) Project of the United States Agency for International Development (USAid).

Today, HNU prides itself to be the only independent polling body outside of Metro Manila that conducts annual polling.

HNU ran the 2010 Bohol Poll from February 13 to March 8. Wanting to know thw Boholanos' pulse on his mega projects also, Aumentado asked HNU to include rider questions covering the seaweeds industry, the Bohol-Cebu Multi Access friendship Bridge (BCMAFB), the Bohol Circumferential Road Improvement Project (BCRIP) Phase 3, upgrading of the Malinao Dam to double its water storage capacity and the Transco-Bohol Backbone Transmission Project, as well as the preference of Second District residents for congressman.

A total of 400 respondents distributed in urban and rural areas across Bohol, or 100 per congressional district and another 100 for Tagbilaran City wre asked if they agreed to the project proposals.

   SEAWEEDS

The province's ideal peace and order condition - tranquil and conducive to investments - compared to other Eucheuma cottonii-rich provinces like tawi-tawi and even Davao have led the Koreans to choose Bohol for their investment.

Ambassador Choi Joong-Kyung was visibly impressed when Aumentado mustered good attendance given very short notice for the signing at the Bohol Tropics resort in July last year of a memorandum of understanding with Dr. Gyung-Soo Kim chief executive officer of Biolsystems Co,, Ltd. with address at the West Tower, Yeoksam-Dong, Kangnan-Gu, Seoul, Korea.

Aumentado had called on the ambassador at the latter's embassy office in Makati City for an entirely different matter. Choi admitted that on hearing the governor talk on his vision and aspirations for Bohol, he "found" his man - the perfect person and local chief executive to help Dr. Kim realize and implement big-time his discovery: extracting bio-ethanol for gasoline additive from seaweeds "for a cleaner, greener and fresher atmosphere."

Kim and his Korean partners intend to mass produce cottonii, extract bio-ethanol from it, use the waste for biomass power generation and the residue for organic fertilizer - or investment to the tune of P7.5 billion - to be located in the Special Industrial Economic Zone in Talibon town that spells livelihood and job generation for the Boholanos.

On top of it, and to ensure sustainability of the project, the Korean government, through Official Development Assistance (ODA) funding, will also put up an algae bi-ethanol research center costing US$2.9 million within the zone.

Of the Boholanos polled, 74 percent agreed while six percent disagreed, giving the project a +68 percent net rating.

   SUPER BRIDGE

Having been to Korea for several times already, Aumentado knows that it has the technology already to build long bridges or overpasses far more impressive than what Metro Manila can offer. In much the same way that he brought to realization the bringing of geothermal power from Leyte to Bohol via submarine cable a few years back, he is again mulling a bridge to connect Bohol and Cebu.

Aside from transporting people and goods, the governor said cables to bring Cebu's excess power to Bohol, pipes to bring excess water from Bohol to Cebu and fiber optics cables can be installed astride the bridge, making the propositions reasonably priced than using submarine cables or pipelines.

To this, 77 percent of the Boholanos polled agreed while seven percent disagreed, giving it a net acceptance rating of +70.

In Bohol, the bridge's anchor will b Getafe, the town next to Talibon, both in he Second District, and Cordova in Cebu. The proposal got an 83 percent agreement in the district, with only 2 percent disagreement, or a net acceptance rating of +81 percent.

The bridge will also be a major highway for the transport of bio-ethanol to Cebu and omwards to other parts of the country and abroad. The Korean government has pledged US$3 million to finance the project feasibility study.

   BCRIP 3

The first two phases of the BCRIP have been completed, but the "real" coastal road around the Anda Peninsula to Ubay and around Panglao Island- the "two ears" of the "head" that is mainland Bohol- as well as the Tagbilaran Bypass and the Baclayan Diversion Road have yet to be concrete paved. Apparently, the governor left these for last as these are "out-of the- way" routes of the mainland, although equally important.

The Anda Peninsula also boast of a long beachline of fine powdery white sand. It runs from Guindulman town and onwards to Anda, Cogtong, Candijay, Mabini and then to Ubay.

On the other hand, the Tagbilaran Bypass and Baclayon Diversion Road anticipate the heavier traffic and are meant to decongest the province's southwest side for when the Panglao Bohol International Airport becomes operational.

His self-imposed "first act" as come -backing congressman of the Second district is to file a bill converting these provincial roads into national roads in order to qualify for Official Development Assistance (ODA) funding after the incumbent Bohol solons failed to do so in the past nine years.

Of the Boholanos polled ,87 percent agreed while 2 percent disagreed, giving the project a +85 percent acceptance rating.

   MALINAO DAM

The Malinao Dam is a component of the Bohol Irrigation Project Stage 1. it has a water storage capacity of five million cubic meters. A study conducted by the Korea Water Resources Corp (K-Water) funded with a US$1 million grant from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (Koica) showed that raising the dam height by two meters will already double its storage capacity, irrigating 2,700 hectares more of rice land in its service area in towns of Dagohoy, San Miguel, Trinidad and Bien Unido.

Funding will come from South Korean ODA wherein the loan will be payable in 30 years with annual interest of only one percent.

Aumentado says this spells food security and will help sustain Bohol's rice self-sufficiently that the Bureau of Agriculture Statistics pegged at 113 percent already in 2008.

Of the Boholanos polled, 70 percent agreed to the project while 11 percent disagreed, giving it a +59 net agreement rating.

   TRANSMISSION PROJECT

The Transmission Company (Transco) of the Philippines, now the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) is now upgrading the Bohol "backbone line" from the Ubay substation to the receiving end in Corella town- from 69 kilovolts to 136 kV. This involves installation of high tension steel towers along the line to increase the distance of the cable from the ground. Aumentado said this means less brownouts due to falling branches- and more reliable and efficient power.

On the Boholanos polled, 83 percent agreed while four percent disagreed, giving the project a +79 percent acceptance rating.

   CONGRESSIONAL CHOICE

aumentado turned out to be the Second District residents choice for congressman, citing good track record in public service as basis. The governor said he has always used the bohol Poll results as guide in his governance.

When an overwhelming 55 percent chose him over his closest rival, Trinidad Mayor Judith Cajes who eked out only 15 percent, Aumentado appealed to her and to other candidates to also present their platforms of governance and their accomplishments to the people, so that they can make informed decisions based on track record, instead of harping on personal issues.

He appealed to voters and candidates alike to stand by the ideals of the Coordinating Council for Honest, Orderly and Peaceful elections ( CC HOPE ) co-chaired by Provincial Director Rustica Mascarinas of the Department of the Interior and Local Goverment and Provincial Election Supervisor Eliseo Labaria of the Commission on Elections.

"We need a credible election on May 10 to restore the image of the country and ensure the stability of our democratic institutions," aumentado said in response to personal attacks that incumbent Rep. Roberto Cajes, husband of his rival, harped against him through the airlanes.

He said he stands on his record of performance as a public official since his past stints as provincial board member, vice governor, congressman, and now, governor.

In his 1998-2001 term as congressman had served as Deputy Speaker of the House. In his second term as governor, he was entrusted the leadership of the Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) and League of Provinces of the Philippines (LPP).

Moreover, all the politically -motivated cases filed against him have been resolved following his election to office in 2001, 2004, 2007 and all the cases filed by his political opponents and critics were all dismissed by the Ombudsman as the records at the anti-graft court would show.

The ideal solon is one who has enough experience to prove his/her knack in legislation and can effectively defend the bills he/she files before the House.

He/ She must also have the experience in implementing projects to ensure that funds will be available to undertake them, and establish a network of connections with different goverment departments to facilitate implementation of development projects.

Aumentado also stressed that an effective congressman must have established strong connection with foreign funders under the Officials Development Assistance (ODA) that provides concessional loans or grants to multi-billion- peso projects- the way he convinced the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) to finance BCRIP 1 and 2, and the Leyte-Bohol Interconnection Project 1 and 2 which now benefit the Boholanos, tourists and visitors.

Through these projects, Bohol is now regarded as a model of peace and development nationwide after catering to the reduction of poverty incidence that eventually crushed insurgency.[b/]

... maayo unta dili madayon ang airport sa Panglao.
... maguol ko sa mahitabo sa Mother Nature sa Panglao.
... Ang Panglao usa sa mga nindot ug beaches sa kalibutan.
... kon matuman ang airport, mosunod ang industrialization,
... pollution follows.
... ma-brown to black na dayon ang dagat palibot sa Panglao.
... ulahi na dayon ang pagmahay.
