Development Needs


The identified tourism areas in the municipality are all in need of development and improvement in order to attract and increase the number of tourists.  If these areas are fully developed, tourist would  be lured to these places thus vitalizing the tourism Industry and will boost the economy of the people.

Infrastructure and support facilities must be installed to serve the needs of the tourist. Power and communication facilities must also be provided to support the industry.

At present, an infrastructure facility to serve the needs of the tourist is inadequate. Roads leading to these spots are not paved and during rainy season, these roads are not passable. Power and communication facilities have no provisions, to support the tourism industry. Power supply has remained critical with the perennial problem of brownouts. Road unworthy public vehicles that lacks sense of punctuality in departure and arrivals is another setback in the tourism industry.

Facilities such as lodging houses, hotels, restaurant and souvenir shops is non existent although two duplex type Cottages at Badjang Spring Resort are present yet it is below standard and can accommodate only lesser number.

The natural attraction that  brings in tourist should be given utmost priority. Construction of a hotel and convention hall at Badjang Spring should be started to enhance the area’s attractiveness to tourists. The development of the Punta Gorda Mountain Trail should be initiated as an alternative leisure activity to staying tourists at the Resort. The construction of man-made beach at the Resort is another added attraction to the place.

Inclusion of Badjang Spring Resort in the Package Tours of the Three Tour Operating Establishment in the Province and all tour operator information leaflets about Badjang Spring Resort and the Sto. Ã'ino Church will boost the tourism industry of the municipality.

Investment from the private sector is also needed. Presently, the town’s tourist facility is managed by the LGU. The LGU’s capability to develop it further can’t be relied upon due to financial constraint. Private investor should then be encouraged to infuse fresh capital to the area.

The LGU should formulate policies and program on tourism. The municipal Tourism Council should be activated.

Complementing the town’s commerce and trade is the beach resort in barangay Anas, which is a major contribution to the local government’s coffers and economic activity. Badiang Spring boasts of its continuous flowing water coming from subterranean rocks, which is its main attraction. Not just domestic tourists but as well as foreign tourists frequent the facility, which sits in a 1,250- square meter lot by the shore. Aside from its splendid natural attraction, Badiang Spring has separate swimming pools for adults and children. Its accommodation facilities include 4-room lodging houses and cottages.

Tourism is one area that the local government of Valencia is strongly pursuing for development. The town’s tourism potentials do not just lie in the famous Badiang Spring Resourt but it includes the sand beaches of Cutcutan and Canduao Oriental, the majestic falls of impehan and spring Anislag are untapped areas. There are also man-made historical structures and edifices like the Abueva Marker and the Sto. Ã'ino Church and Convent that can capture the attention of both foreign and domestic tourists. Another attraction is the presence of exotic wildlife of flora and fauna in the balitbiton Mountain Range and the Nailo Cave where exotic designs of stalactites and stalagmites can be appreciated.

History of Valencia


Valencia was formerly part of Dimiao. Its former name is said to be Panangatan, which is derived from the word ‘‘ sang â€" at’’, meaning to put on an elevated place.

It is said that many years ago, on windy days, fishermen from the town’s Dimiao and Lila used to seek shelter at the mouth of Panangatan River when southeast monsoon was very strong. Hence they would put up ( Sang â€" at) their boats on riverbanks  where nipa palms grew in order to prevent them from being washed away by the waves.

In 1867, it was separated when a Spanish priest was assigned to the municipality and on the 27th day of October 1869 it was established as a town with Fr. Francisco Cornago as the priest and Ignacio Daloperit as the first Kapitan.

Valencia got its present name by coincidence. The Parish Priest during one of his pastoral visits in the upper barrios was visibly touched of the topography and panorama of the place, which according to him was just like his native city of Valencia, Spain.

Upon returning down, he gathered the important personages at that time and proposed that the old name of the place “ Panangatan” be changed to Valencia.

His proposal was readily accepted and since then the present name Valencia is the official name of the Municipality.

My medical director is hardcore. If he gets any more hardcore, I fear he might hit the floor. 

Catching up on paper work; i have 10 more things to finish today.

To my fellow Valencianhons, concerned citizens, and friends,


It has been made known to me by personal visitation and from by word of mouth that there are some roads in Valencia , private roads, that are unpaved. The main high way that cuts through Valencia is well maintained and paved, however, there are some roads in the interior of the town that are still unpaved.

This past summer in July-August 2010, I drove my 2002 Isuzu Crosswind with my grandfather from Sawang , Valencia all around Valencia. Driving through the border of Dimiao and Valencia and through Valencia's Eastern Gate of Baranggay Anas.

There is a road that is past the Anas Elementary School in Valencia , one takes a left there and this road cuts through Anas, and through Baranggay Manga beyond.

My Lolo Ciano and I were driving through this (i of course was the driver and he was the passenger, lol; sa unang panahon it was he who was the driver of Salvo Lines and I was his first mate, bwahaha) i was amazed and shocked how the roads were not paved! There were still jagged rocks and bulkheads that were detrimental to people and drivers alike.

When I was in Bohol, I purchased off-road tires (which cost me 4,500 pesos per tire and had them installed on my truck), yet even with these tires, it seemed as if the truck and the tire were in jeapordy because of the rocks and the incline of the road. As we were driving by we saw people walking down the road. I was shocked when I asked one, a member of the Salvo/Salise Clan (a distant relative of mine) she said that when it rains, the road is almost impassable for motor and cars and can be dangerous for people on foot.

I asked Dr. Plinio Lim (a former mayor of Valencia) one time about the status of these roads and he said that it all is responsibility of the current administration kono. I just wish they could pave this road. Because this road connects baranggay Manga and Anas together and then interjects to the Provincial High way.


To our current Administration in Valencia, Please, consider paving this road in Anas. Please also consider paving the roads that are still un-cemented in Valencia.

Daghang Salamat. Let us continue to work together to better our Pinakapinanggang yuta na tawhan...atong Valencia.



Yours in Christ,
Lorenzo Salvo Lucino

Jun,

To assess the situation, i cannot help but ask if there is any draining and sewage system for poultry and farm systems. Is this even existent in provincial locations such as Valencia, Bohol? Please enlighten me on this with an unbiased response. Unlike you and many other town folks, myself and many overseas-based Valencianhons are not there in the town in the day-to-day to assess the internal dynamics of the town per se in the financial , educational, and social-political functions in the town.

Another question that I would like to ask lang: is the sewage system in Valencia established for all homes or for certain homes? I know that my house in Sawang has a drainage and sewage system, as for many homes in Sawang, however, I notice that there are some homes in the outskirts of the town, particularly in the bukid that have none.

Do you think the current administration is going to proceed with solving the situation?

Yes, Nong. There is a possibility of the transmission of histoplasmosis.

Worms eat men. Plants consume  nutrients of the soil fertilized by worms. Caterpillars eat plant leaves (and then become butterflies). Frogs eat butterflies. Snakes eat frogs. Hogs eat snakes.  Men eat hogs.

The cycle goes over again.

sure na sure nga shaved ang iyaha kay mao nay ilang sulondon ug sa school gitudlo ni nila. nasayud lang ko niini kay may booklet kong nabasa bahin sa ilang tulomanon.

Just as women are supposed to live life following the hadith. This also requires women to wear a hijjab. They do this to follow the life and orders of 'Rasulallah', the Prophet Mohammad.

In the Q'uran, there are 2 major components:

1. Surah (the written voice of Allah)

and

2. Hadiths (the practices; the day to day practices of Muhammad)

the hadiths, are more liken to the traditional practices so to say and can be even compared to the Tradition of the Roman Catholic Faith, while the Quran is like the Holy Bible. Both Tradition and Scripture combines to form 'The Truth'.

This is just a comparison. I am not saying that Islam and Christianity (particularly the Catholic Church) teach the same principles.

Quote from: Vistabel on April 15, 2011, 10:02:19 PM
hahhahaha, murag sakto ka bai, kay ang mga tao nga tradisyon nila ang pagpatag-as ug bungot tanan nga may bohok kini kinahanglan sab limpyohon. (muslims tradisyon ni)  buhok sa ilok, singit kinahanglan naka shaved baji man o laki.

Vistabel,

Correct ka. It is written in the Q'uran (and also is a hadith) that all women must shave and keep themselves clean; shaving and keeping the body clean is compulsory for women in Islam .

As for men, in Islam, it is prescribed that men grow a beard and keep it growing, and not be a like the Al-Qitab, who at the time, did not grow a beard. It is written in Surah 4:

The Prophet said, 'Do the opposite of what the pagans do. Keep the beards and cut the moustaches short.' Whenever Ibn 'Umar performed the Hajj or 'Umra, he used to hold his beard with his hand and cut whatever moustaches. Ibn Umar used to cut his moustache so short that the whiteness of his skin (above the upper lip) was visible, and he used to cut (the hair) between his moustaches and his beard.


~~

The ones who are more strict are the Orthodox Jews. Women, in Judaism, are technically not even allowed to shave. It is forbidden in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible).

~~

The most liberated of all the Abrahamic faiths, in my honest opinion, are the Christians. There are no compulsory actions/ mandates that must be followed. Judaism and Islam, regarding the laws that are to be followed in the day-to-day living, have an abundance of such.

Please help me understand what happened here...

It looks like the base is sand, murag ni buckle attachment site because of a compromised foundation. Basing on the environment, it looks like its somewhere in the desert (known for its silting foundation).

The time I met Dr. Updike, I was still unsure of whether to go into Medicine or not. In fact, I was scared and 'feared' the fact that it would take so much time to finish. He reassured me with his very hospitable, and encouraging words, "A seed one day will become a big tree in the future.."

Our meeting , which was supposed to be medical (and it was to an extent, as i did ask questions about the basis of Gastroenterology; Nephrology; Internal Medicine etc), turned into a encouraging philosophical talk.

Let's just say that after my interim with him, I was resolved to follow in his footsteps. To me, he was not a strict physician who was Chief of Gastroenterology, but a man who was caring towards his patients, stern and obligatory to his medical student interns and cooperative with the nurses under him.

His voice is very smooth and his character is very inviting and passionate towards patient and staff. He is a fine physician.

To my students and colleagues,

My presentation went 'good' today. What I will do is convert some 30 some slides into a movie with voice lecture (that will be included , so my students can read and listen along (audio and visual learning covered!!).


Truly,

This is taken couple of years back when I was in a internship at University of Maryland School of Medicine. Dr. Updike, is the chief Gastroenterologist.

Catholic Church leaders have told the public via radio sermons and holy mass that people should not be afraid, but instead fight the Dark Lord. The church has formulated a new and improved holy water, which comes in 5, 30 and 50ml spray bottles for only 30, 60, and 100 pesos respectively.

The new formula is said to be more concentrated and more powerful. It also comes in 5 different flavors such as mango, peach, lemon, apple and bagoong. Each bottle has been blessed and therefore has become a holier water.

To be able to fight the Dark Lord, the public is urged to get one bottle of holier water right now!


http://manilabull.blogspot.com/2011/04/house-resolution-to-resurrect-marcos.html

this is so wrong on so many levels.

lol @ 'the dark lord'. Unsa man ni ? Pinoy version of Harry Potter's archnemesis , Valdemort? bwahahahaha.

Not bad, actually. Maybe the US Navy can attach some missile turrets on these babies and the Philippines can have ships that can fend off Chinese frigates. Good to see the modernization of the Philippine Navy.

The Philippines recently acquired 4 Hamilton-Class Weather Ships (former U.S Coast Guard Ships). They will be sent to patrol the Philippine territorial waters.

Here is a picture of one American Hamilton-Class that was sold to the Philippine Navy.

The Philippine Navy will be sending its newest addition to its surface fleet, a Cyclone-Class Missile Patrol Ship in addition to the cutter ship.

2011-04-14 (China Military News cited from mb.com.ph) -- The Philippines is poised to multiply its patrolling capabilities in the South China Sea after filing a diplomatic protest before the United Nations (UN) against China's “9-discontinued-and-dotted line” that claims sovereignty over islands, adjacent waters, seabed, and subsoil in the entire South China Sea.

By next month, the Philippines will deploy a newly acquired Hamilton-class Weather High Endurance Cutter (WHEC) near the disputed Spratly Islands (Kalayaan Islands).

The Hamilton-class ship will be the biggest vessel acquired by the Philippine Navy since the 1980s.

Hamilton-class ships are 378 feet long, displace 3,250 tons, have dual diesel and gas turbine engines that give them a top speed of 29 knots, and can remain at sea without refueling for 45 days. They have a crew of 167 officers and men.

They are armed with a rapid-firing 3-inch/76mm gun, a 20mm Phalanx, and two 25mm Mk38 “Bushmaster” auto-cannons.

However, officials say some of those weapons might be removed before the turnover to the Philippine Navy.

When the Philippine Navy finally gets the ship, she will still be one of the newest in the Philippine Fleet.

The ship has a retractable hangar and helicopter deck.

In preparation of the turnover of the Hamilton-class cutter, 21 officers and men of the Philippine Navy are now training with the United States Coast Guard in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean to get a very good hands-on training and experience aboard a ship that is identical to what they’ll be manning next month.

Meanwhile, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) confirmed yesterday that the Philippines filed a note verbale, through its Permanent Mission to the UN, to the UN Division on Ocean Affairs and Law of the Sea on April 5 expressing its position on the 9-dotted line.

The line is usually referred to as the “nine-dotted line” (since it is composed of nine dashes) or the “U-shaped line” in the South China Sea that reflects the shape of the dotted line.

It encloses the main island features of the South China Sea â€" the Pratas Islands, the Paracel Islands, the Macclesfield Bank, and the Spratly Islands. The dotted line also captures James Shoal which is as far south as 4 degrees north latitude.

China has been using the nine dashes found on Chinese maps dating back to 1947 in asserting its territorial claim over the whole of the South Sea.

However, the Philippines argued that China's broad claim to islands and adjacent waters in the South China Sea has no basis in international law.

The government also asserted that, first, the Kalayaan Group of Islands constitutes an integral part of the Philippines and to which it has sovereignty and jurisdiction.

It also stressed that the Philippines has sovereignty and jurisdiction over waters around or adjacent to each geological feature in the Kalayaan Island Group under the international law principle that land dominates the sea, as provided for under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS.

Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia have filed similar protests over a map China submitted to the UN in 2009.

Indonesia is not a claimant but also protested last year.

In 2008, when he was a sophomore in high school, he was the #1 student with the highest grade point average in the Math and Sciences Division at St. Joseph High School. He received a school award for this, which was not topped by any of his classmates. Right now, tho he is a graduating senior student in high school, he is taking 3 Advanced Placement Courses: Physics , Biology, and Chemistry. These courses are college-level classes and will be receiving college credit for this.

He will be graduating with the highest grade point average in the Math and Sciences Division in his class batch (2011).

It is not an American that will be taking # 1, but a Bol-anon, specifically a VALENCIANHON!

Ilonggos are funny people. They can understand Cebuano, but I feel as if I cannot understand 25% what they are saying. Lawom kaayo.

I wonder what is the meaning of the phrase, "kundi tulad kadya bisan kumpol ako may ginhawa.."

i love bamboo plants mataas ang labyog 

Hi Aspo, so nice to see that  you also like bamboo plants! My gf's father actually was the one who bought that for me and the money tree. He was the one that helped decorate our apartment with plants and other greeneries.

Whenever the lady and I cook , we usually use alot of spices: thyme, rosemarie, basil, lemon grass etc. So, Tito decided to buy us some green plants and instructed us to take care of them. This way, now we have green plants and a reserve of spices. hehe.

Bugnaw tan-awon ang balay ug naay green plants. I feel as if the place is warmer and peaceful with plants.

Ning ongon pood si Tito, "Toto, you are from Bohol, madamo sang tanum sa Bohol. Lantawi haw?"

Salamat sa response, bai.

wow! very affordable jud!

salamat, Raquel!

I wonder what is the percentage of the Philippine population has Chinese blood. Do you think 10% is too small?

The number of mainland Chinese nationals who immigrated to the Philippines more than doubled in 2010 despite the tragic incident in Manila that claimed the lives of eight Hong Kong tourists in August of that year, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) said on Thursday.

BI Acting Commissioner Ronaldo Ledesma said the number of Chinese living in the country went up from 30,809 in 2009 to 61,372 in 2010.

Ledesma said the Chinese have thus dislodged the Koreans as the top foreign citizens who choose the Philippines as their second home, the latter registering a slight increase from 24,876 in 2009 to 28,090 last year.

He said the bureau has registered 90,413 foreign immigrants and 98,733 non-immigrants as of Jan. 1, 2011.

The BI chief believes the geographic and cultural proximity of China to the Philippines, and the fact that Filipino-Chinese communities are firmly established in the country, may account for the rise of Chinese immigrants here.

He said that majority of the Chinese and Korean migrants are students, businessmen, and missionaries who prefer Metro Manila, with its high-rise condominiums and cheap apartments.

Ledesma also said a number of foreign tourists have also expressed preference to studying English in the Philippines, where it is cheaper than in their respective countries of origin.

He said that aside from Chinese and Koreans, the other top foreign nationals who have decided to live in the country are Americans (24,909), Indians (23,317), Japanese (8,931), British (4,781), Taiwanese (3,640), Iranians (3,260), Germans (2,965), and Australians (2,645). - pna

Si Lolo:



Ingon kono ahong Mommy nga si Lolo mo sulti to sija ug Cantonese-Chinese and kahibalo to mo luto nga Chinese food. He spoke with a very thick Chinese accent daw. Ingon si Dr. Plinio Lim, a former Mayor of Valencia. Dr. Plinio Lim knew my great- grandfather. Ang papa ug mama ni Dr. Plinio Lim (pure Chinese pood sila) were close friends with my great grand father and my great- grandmother.
