Text Any textual data included in the document ‘Jalaur dam to boost W. Visayas rice output’ ILOILO—President Marcos led the ceremonial opening of the floodgates for the Jalaur River Multi-purpose Project Stage II (JRMP II) in Calinog, Iloilo, marking a significant milestone for the region’s agriculture and infrastructure. The P20 billion project is expected to increase Western Visayas’ rice production by 160,000 metric tons, or 20 percent of the region’s annual rice requirement. The JRMP II includes three main components: irrigation development, environmental and watershed management, and institutional development. “This dam is just the beginning of our efforts to develop the country’s water resources,” said President Marcos during the unveiling of the project marker. The project will benefit 7,000 farmers across 17 municipalities in Iloilo’s first to fifth districts. It will also provide 86 million liters of water daily for commercial and industrial needs in Iloilo province and Iloilo City. “On top of its use for irrigation, a portion of the water from the High Dam’s reservoir, or around 86 million liters per day, will be utilized to supply the commercial and industrial bulk water requirements of Iloilo City and its neighboring municipalities,” added Mr. Marcos. The JRMP II is also set to generate 6.6 megawatts of hydroelectric power, contributing to Panay Island’s electricity supply. Future plans for the project include the development of inland fisheries, floating solar energy systems, and eco-cultural tourism. Mr. Marcos named the project “Katuwang sa Kauswagan” or “Partner in Progress,” expressing hope that it will serve as a benchmark for similar large-scale projects. “Let this project serve as a benchmark and an inspiration for all endeavors of this scale and of this magnitude,” he said. The President expressed gratitude to Korean Ambassador Lee Sang-hwa for South Korea’s partnership in this and other significant projects in the Philippines. The President committed to accelerating the completion of JRMP II. “I think it is entirely too long that Phase I, completed in my father’s time, should now see Phase II completed in my time. We should not have waited that long. We need to accelerate the process a little bit,” he said. The JRMP II is set to become the largest water reservoir project built by the National Irrigation Administration outside Luzon. The project is targeted to be completed and operational by the end of 2025. Citation Citation of the article Lozada, C. (2024, July 17). 'Jalaur dam to boost W. Visayas rice output.

Title A name given to the resource Casanave: An American photographer in Iloilo Subject The topic of the resource Casanave y Pineda, Pedro Andres, 1867-1948 Casanave, Pedro -- Photograph collection Iloilo, Philippines -- History -- Pictorial works Description An account of the resource This coffee table book is most valuable in the study and appreciation of the history of Iloilo, both the province and the city. It presents more than one hundred thirty photographs taken over a period of thirty years by Pedro Andres Casanave, a consummate American photographer. Each photograph is accompanied by commentaries by Nereo Cajilig Lujan, a veteran llonggo journalist who has successfully ventured into historical research and writing. The book also includes an interesting biographical sketch of Casanave by Lujan.<br /><br />Casanave was an American citizen who was born in Mexico—thus, his Spanish name. Already widely known as a photographer and artist, he joined the US Volunteers in 1899 and came to the Philippines during the Philippine-American War. After the war, he stayed in the country, married a Filipina from Negros, and established his photography studio in Iloilo City in 1905.<br /><br />Casanave was not the first photographer to practice in Iloilo. The first Filipino professional photographer, Felix Laureano, grew up and started his photographic career in Iloilo. He later went to Barcelona, Spain and put up a studio.<br /><br />In 1895, Laureano published his Recuerdosde Filipinos in Barcelona. The photo album contains thirty-seven photographs taken of several parts of the Philippines. Less than half of these show scenes from Iloilo. On the other hand, Casanave’s photographs depict the various facets of life and society in Iloilo from the early American period to World War II.<br /><br />A picture is worth more than a thousand words, so goes the adage. When it comes to historical pictures, however, the learned words of the historian can situate a picture in its proper context and explain its significance.<br />In this book, Casanave’s pictures and Lujan’s text, contribute to Philippine historiography, especially on Iloilo's past. We commend Nereo Cajilig Lujan for bringing to light Pedro Casanave’s peerless photographs, thereby taking the readers back to Iloilo’s glorious past.<br /><br />- from the Foreword by Demy P.

Text Any textual data included in the document STA. BARBARA, Iloilo is a unique blend of Spanish, American and Filipino architecture, culture and spirit. Situated 15. 6 kilometers from the city, it is just a short drive and great for short day trips. Sta. Barbara is a colorful, romantic town rich in history and culture. Visitors should check out its historic center, the town’s most eye-catching architecture, the Baroque-Renaissance architectural style of the Sta. Barbara Parish Church and Convent. Reconstructed in 1849 and finished in 1878. The convent was built the same time as the church. Materials used in the construction of the church and convent were of adobe and coral stones quarried from Alimodian. Red bricks were used for the flooring, walls, and posts. These were transported to the town through carts drawn by carabaos. Connected to the side door of the church is its L-shaped convent of Antillan architectural style. The church served as the headquarters for the Ilonggo Revolutionary Forces in Western Visayas under General Martin Delgado in 1898. It was untouched during World War II and had withstood the 1948 earthquake. It was declared as a National Historical Landmark by the National Historical Institute in 2013. The town is also the birthplace of Iloilo’s hero, Gen. Martin T. Delgado, popularly known as Tan Martin. He was the Revolutionary General in Visayas and Mindanao who launched the campaign to liberate the whole province from Spain. He raised the Philippine flag sent by General Emilio Aguinaldo, the first time that the Filipino national flag was hoisted outside of Luzon Island. He was the First Governor of Iloilo province in 1901, the following year he was elected governor of Panay and served until 1904. After his term, Delgado returned to Santa Barbara and served for eight years as superintendent of a leprosy sanitarium. He spent his last years as superintendent of the leper colony on the island of Culion where he died on November 12, 1918 at the age of 60. A bronze statue was erected in the Victory Plaza in his honor in 1998. The Victory Plaza is also famous for its 1925 octagonal-shaped Bandstand and the monument of Dr. Jose Rizal and the Propagandist. If Baroque architectural design was to churches during the Spanish regime, the Gabaldon for Public schools was to the American Colonial Period. The Heritage School Building of Sta. Barbara Central Elementary School along Roosevelt, Poblacion was built in 1913. While most rural public elementary schools built during the American Colonial Period were abandoned, left to deteriorate and rendered obsolete, the Gabaldon structure of the elementary school made of wood with concrete base is to be recycled for modern academic use. Its presence in the area makes history come alive for teachers and students alike reminding them of the heritage of their academic institution. Another interesting site within the premises is its historic “Poso,” looking similarly to an ice tea drink. It is said that the town has five sources of Poso. The one located within the premises of the school does not stop flowing even during the hottest season of the year. So, get ready to drink. If you find yourself looking for an unforgettable experience, visit Denila Farms in Barangay Lanag, just a 10-minute tricycle ride from the town plaza. The farm is a 2.7-hectare orchard planted with rows of mostly Brazilian-variety grapes. Trellises line both sides of the farm where grapevines grow straight up. To know if the grapes are ready for harvest, taste the fruit near the tip of each bunch and if it tastes sweet, the whole cluster is ready for picking. The fruits are harvested early in the morning by hand with the aid of a sharp shear. Grape growing is not new in Iloilo, in fact, it started in Arevalo in the 1950s. Grapes grow best in areas with warm and dry climate and where sufficient irrigation is available, Sta. Barbara provides the perfect venue for commercial vineyards. The farm also grows other fruits such as Guapple, vegetables, and flowering plants. Citation Citation of the article Marin, B.G. (2019, August 13). Sta.

Text Any textual data included in the document OTON, ILOILO is a lovely seaside town located just over 10 kilometers in the southern portion of the province. Like most Ilonggo towns, it has a colorful history. The town may be a lesser-known historic destination compared to its neighboring municipalities but still offers some great sites. There are a bunch of great historic sites to take in. Oton is home to First Pueblo in Panay founded by the Spaniards in 1570. To enter the town, one must pass Batiano Bridge, an important landmark with Batiano River serving as a trading site during the Chinese and Spanish era. Oton became the seat of government of Panay and Negros islands. After the Spaniards had established their convent in Cebu in 1565, they started preaching the Gospel in Oton. The natives were known to be “master shipbuilders” for they had shipyards for building large ships and the women were engaged in weaving as most homes had a loom that produced fine textile materials. Oton was a major Chinese trading port in the Philippines. A rare Chinese burial gold leaf mask, one of the oldest objects found in Barangay San Antonio, was excavated in the 1970s by Alfredo Evangelista and F. Landa Jocano. Made of finely created gold sheets, the mask covers both eyes and a disc that covers the entire nose. The golden mask is part of a burial tradition by a limited group of Filipinos who have had early contacts with Chinese merchants. The gold death mask was dated to the late 14th to the early 15th century A.D. It was declared as a National Cultural Treasures and is known to be one of the 15 Most Intense Archaeological Discoveries of the Philippines. The Immaculate Conception Parish Church (the old church of Oton and the second to be constructed) was known as one of the best and the only one of its style in the entire archipelago. It was constructed in 1874 and was finished in 1889 under the supervision of Fr. Nicolas Gallo and was blessed and inaugurated in 1891. It resembled the Gothic cathedral of Byzantine. Greek and Gothic architectural designs, patterned after a Greek cross capped by a magnificent dome and light Gothic towers decorate the church with its main altar at the center. It was destroyed by a powerful earthquake, Lady Kaykay on January 25, 1948, and was never restored. What was left of the church were the two bells and a few stone stumps, now engulfed by the roots of a humungous tree, are used as walls for a grotto found just outside of the present church. The present image of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception on the roof of the church, still from the second church, looks over the town. Oton has its share of buildings and houses that spell out the past. The present Municipal Building, though renovated, was constructed in 1955. After the American forces liberated the island of Panay, it was in the years 1952 -1963 when Simplicio C. Carreon became the Municipal Mayor of Oton. Senator Jose C. Zulueta, the Senate President in 1953 and an Ogtonganon himself, helped build the Municipal Hall which is presently the main building. Oton Central Elementary School was established in 1911-1913. The Americans took over the town in February 1900 and with the coming of the Thomasites in the area made education accessible to everyone. It was in the time of Municipal President Epifanio Tiapon when the elementary school was constructed along with the concreting of the Public Market and the construction of the road going to the town of Alimodian. Oton National High School, formerly known as Oton Regional High School, conducted refresher courses at the Oton Public Market on March 22 to June 1945. The regular school year opened in June 1945 and ended March 1946 with Mr. Elpidio L. Cabus as the school principal. The establishment of the secondary school was realized when the Planta Family donated 4.6 hectares of land where the first 24-classroom quadrangular-shaped building was constructed through the efforts of their PTA. The Oton Catholic Cemetery was believed to have been built alongside the second church, making it the oldest cemetery in the province. Its centerpiece is the circular capilla that is made of stone. It has three entrances. On top of the main entrance are three identical skulls on crossbones; two of which are situated at both ends of the main entrance with two chalices situated a little higher; the other is on the upper center of the capilla. The first-class town of Oton is situated south of the province. It is approximately 10.2 kilometers or a 30-minute ride from Iloilo City and is bordered on the east by the district of Arevalo in Iloilo City; in the west by the municipality of Tigbauan: in the north by San Miguel; and the southern portion by a stretch of the shoreline of the Sulu Sea. It has a land area of 8, 456 hectares that are politically subdivided into 37 barangays. Oton is populated by 89,115 (2015 Census on Population) Ogtonganons. Market day is every Monday and Saturday.
