Text Any textual data included in the document ILOILO – A 34-year-old Ilongga overseas Filipino worker (OFW) expressed relief that she made it home safe. The situation in Lebanon is worsening, she said. “I will never forget the moment one Friday when missiles passed by our (residential) building, targeting a Hezbollah leader. We heard loud explosions,” said Donna Jean Gabasa-Berniz, a resident of Barangay Botlog, Concepcion, Iloilo. Hezbollah is an Iran-backed terrorist organization based in Lebanon that the Israeli military has vowed to crush for supporting Hamas, a Gaza Strip-based terror group which has vowed to annihilate the Jewish state. Gabasa-Berniz had been working as a domestic help for 10 years in Hadath, a municipality that borders the southern periphery of the Lebanese capital Beirut and is considered part of its metropolitan area. She returned to Iloilo on Tuesday, October 15. Around 11:30 p.m. that Friday, according to Gabaza-Berniz., they were warned to evacuate “because our area was the next target.” “We hurriedly left the building. The fear and anxiety were overwhelming. We were given just two hours to evacuate,” she said. Less than two hours after they left their residential building, the bombing began, an emotional Gabasa-Berniz recounted during a media interview at the Iloilo Provincial Capitol on Wednesday morning, October 16, alongside her husband, Eladio Berniz. Gabasa-Berniz is the first Ilongga OFW repatriated from Lebanon with the assistance of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) and the Iloilo provincial government through the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) – Iloilo Province. She said she decided to return home because Hadath had become unsafe due to Israeli military airstrikes targeting Hezbollah. Gabasa-Berniz proceeded to the Philippine Embassy, where she was placed in a shelter. She briefly returned to her employer’s house, only to find the area in ruins, with buildings destroyed by the bombing, including her employer’s home. Despite the devastation, Gabasa-Berniz said her employer and their family were safe and had also sought refuge in a shelter. Grateful for her early return to the Philippines, Gabasa-Berniz said, “I’m happy because the anxiety is gone. Every day, it was hard to work because of the constant fear.” “I’m thankful to the government for bringing her home safely,” said her husband, Eladio. What assistance will the provincial government provide? According to PESO-Iloilo acting head Cynthia Parcon-Dario, Gabasa-Berniz is eligible to receive P10,000 in financial assistance for repatriated OFWs. In addition, Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. has ordered that all available assistance be extended to Gabasa-Berniz. As of now, 85 Ilonggo OFWs in Lebanon have been profiled by PESO, with most of them marked safe. However, Dario noted that more Ilonggo OFWs are expected to be returning home in the coming days as the national government’s repatriation program continues.

Title A name given to the resource Iloilo City earthquake model: Event-based probabilistic seismic risk assessment Subject The topic of the resource Earthquakes Emergency management Description An account of the resource Each earthquake event generates a specific ground motion field on a particular site. The ground motion field or hazard, impacts buildings and structures in the area at different levels of severity dependent on various site-specific factors such as the intensity of ground shaking, physical vulnerability of the structures, and soil condition underneath the structures. Understanding the building losses that may be incurred from thousands of probable earthquake events, especially in rapidly-developing cities may engender an informed basis for policies leading to risk reduction and disaster mitigation. Long-term economic investors, for instance, might be able to take into account probable business interruption extent, economic impact, and quick recovery preparations in the event of foreseeable disruptive earthquakes. These may be achieved when earthquake hazard and event-based probabilistic seismic risk assessment is in place.<br /><br />Iloilo City was selected as the pilot city for the first-ever city-wide event-based probabilistic seismic risk assessment in the Philippines. Being a dynamic first-class highly-urbanized city in Western Visayas, with structures and houses over 100,000, including modern high-rise buildings and centuries-old heritage buildings, and an estimated current population of almost 500,000, the city is poised for an investment influx. With the aggressive cooperation and technical collaboration of the City Government and the immediate availability of workable exposure data, this study came to fruition. A 2-volume report on the event-based probabilistic seismic risk assessment of Iloilo City was produced.<br /><br />The first volume contains the technical details involved in the development and completion of the study, including full-page ground motion hazard and risk maps, and their corresponding tables.

Text Any textual data included in the document ILOILO City – Ilonggos are mourning the death of violin virtuoso and musical crusader Gilopez Kabayao, who passed on Sunday, October 13, after a brief illness. He was 94. “After more than seven decades of sharing his music propelled by the generosity of spirit that he so selflessly gave to his audience from all walks of life, the curtain now closes on this artist with a mission,” his wife, Corazon, said in a social media post on Sunday. Kabayao was born in 1929 in Negros Occidental, with roots from Iloilo. He was the first Filipino to play at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York City at 19 years old. He was dubbed “Father of Outreach for Classical Music,” bringing the music of the masters to the masses starting in the 1950s and holding classical concerts for the grassroots in even the most unconventional venues from Aparri to Jolo. Through his transcriptions, 24 Philippine folk songs and kundiman (folk love songs) were transformed into virtuosic gems for violin and piano, enriching the violin literature of Filipino music. He earned a Presidential Award of Merit in 1969 and a President Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1972. “We deeply mourn the loss of Maestro Gilopez Kabayao, an exceptional Ilonggo violinist and a cultural icon whose legacy will always live on, not just in Iloilo City, but across the country,” Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas said in a statement yesterday, October 14. He added that Kabayao’s music connected people worldwide, fostering understanding between nations. At home, he had a profound impact, especially on young Filipino musicians who admired him as a role model. The mayor said his “music wasn’t just art. It brought hope and unity to our people.” “In Iloilo City, we are especially grateful for his contributions. His legacy will live on through the music he inspired in others,” Treñas added. He was nominated to the Order of the National Artist in June this year. Kabayao is survived by his wife, Corazon Pineda; children Sicilienne, Farida, and Gilberto; son-in-law Jose Roy Paniza; daughter-in-law Michelle Alhambra; and a grandchild.

Text Any textual data included in the document ILOILO – All five suspected cases of mpox (monkeypox) from this province have tested negative following confirmatory tests conducted at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) in Metro Manila. Dr. Rodney Labis, chief of the Iloilo Provincial Health Office (IPHO) – Health Service Delivery Division, confirmed this to the media: “As of today, there have been no reported cases of mpox in the province of Iloilo in 2024. There were patients who met the suspect case definition for mpox, and their specimens were sent for confirmatory testing, all of which yielded negative results.” Despite the negative results, the IPHO continues to maintain vigilance. The Provincial Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (PESU), along with Municipal Health Offices (MHOs) and local hospitals, is actively conducting disease surveillance. This effort ensures that, in the event a case is detected, immediate response and containment can be implemented to prevent community transmission. “Surveillance continues at our unit and local hospitals to monitor for mpox cases. Should a patient with mpox be detected in the province, we are ready to respond swiftly and control the spread within the community,” Labis added. He further explained that the Department of Health (DOH) has classified mpox as a dangerous communicable disease. Under the Sanitation Code of the Philippines and DOH policies, patients who die from mpox must be buried within 12 hours without embalming or cremated. They must also be laid to rest in an approved burial ground. Mpox is a viral disease caused by the monkeypox virus. Symptoms may include skin rashes or mucosal lesions lasting 2-4 weeks, often accompanied by fever, headache, muscle aches, back pain, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. Transmission occurs through close contact, such as skin-to-skin interaction, sexual contact with an infected person, contact with contaminated materials (like bedding or clothing), or through bites or scratches from infected animals. The virus can also be passed to a fetus during pregnancy or to a newborn during or after birth. Patients remain contagious until all lesions have healed and new skin has formed. The DOH emphasizes the importance of preventing transmission through respiratory etiquette, proper ventilation, handwashing with soap and water or using alcohol-based sanitizers, and avoiding individuals showing symptoms of mpox.

Text Any textual data included in the document ILOILO City – The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is accelerating its plans to privatize the operations and management of at least four major airports by 2025. According to Transportation Undersecretary for Aviation Roberto C. O. Lim, the airports set for privatization include the Iloilo International Airport, Davao International Airport, Puerto Princesa International Airport, and the Kalibo International Airport. The move aims to hand over the management of these airports to private entities by next year, 2025. The agency noted that privatization is expected to improve the efficiency, services, and infrastructure at these airports, enhancing the overall travel experience. The successful privatization of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) has encouraged the DOTr to expedite the transfer of management and operations of four additional airports to the private sector by next year. Following the NAIA model, the DOTr believes that private sector involvement can enhance the operational efficiency and service quality of these airports. The privatization process is projected to address infrastructure gaps and improve services, making these airports more competitive and passenger-friendly, while contributing to overall economic growth through improved connectivity and tourism. Mayor Jerry Treñas welcomed the DOTr’s pronouncement, noting that he has been lobbying to expedite the airport’s proposed expansion. “This is truly a dream come true, something I have long advocated for, dating back to my time as congressman of the Lone District of Iloilo City and even until I became mayor,” Treñas said. The mayor noted the privatization will address long-standing operational issues including non-functional air-conditioning systems and broken escalators, which caused discomfort to travelers. The privatization Treñas believes the privatization will help fast-track the improvements needed to enhance the airport’s capacity and services, which will be vital in supporting Iloilo’s growing economy and tourism sector. “It will not only improve passenger experience but also expand the airport’s capacity to accommodate larger planes and more flights, ensuring Iloilo continues to grow as a prime destination for business and tourism. With multiple investors already expressing interest, I am confident that the partnership will usher in a new era of development for our region,” he added. He added that the expansion and privatization efforts align with his vision of making Iloilo a key gateway in the Visayas region, boosting connectivity and attracting more investments. The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) reported that negotiations for the proposed P14.7-billion rehabilitation and expansion of Iloilo International Airport were completed on September 3, 2024. In his letter to Treñas, Capt. Manuel Antonio Tamayo, CAAP director general, said the unsolicited proposal for the rehabilitation, expansion, and maintenance of the Iloilo Airport is in the negotiation stage with Prime Asset Ventures Inc. (PAVI), the holding company of real estate magnate and former senator Manuel B. Villar, Jr. Prime Asset offers to improve the management and operational capability of CAAP in managing the Iloilo Airport through an operate-add-transfer (OAT) contractual agreement. The project includes expanding the airport’s passenger terminal building with necessary facilities as per International Civil Aviation to accommodate passengers, constructing an apron adjacent to the new terminal building, and renovating and maintaining the existing terminal building. The project also intends to install the required equipment for the passenger services in the new terminal building and operation and maintenance of the passenger terminal buildings and equipment/facilities in the terminal building during the entire concession period. The Villar group submitted an unsolicited proposal for the operation, maintenance, and expansion of the Iloilo airport as early as 2018. PAVI has an authorized capital of P10 billion, with Villar holding 99.99 percent of the company. Citation Citation of the article Dalipe, G. (2024, October 15).

Text Any textual data included in the document ILOILO – The Provincial Veterinary Office (PVO) is calling on the 43 local government units (LGUs) in this province to establish “impounding areas” for stray dogs. Some “70 to 80 percent” of the province’s total dog population of 324,764, particularly at the barangay level, are stray or inadequately cared for by their owners, according to Dr. Darel Tabuada, the PVO chief. But only about 25 percent of the LGUs have impounding areas, he lamented. “Our anti-rabies vaccination rates are high but if we do not address the stray dog issue, we cannot solve the rabies problem,” Tabuada told Panay News. Majority of the LGUs have not yet established such facilities often due to the need to allocate funds to make the areas functional, Tabuada explained. LGUs including Santa Barbara, Leganes, Oton, and Igbaras were mentioned as having established impounding areas. Tabuada emphasized that starting next year, the PVO will focus on ensuring that all LGUs establish impounding areas as a requirement to achieve a rabies-free Iloilo province by 2030. “We will work out next year. That will be our focus,” he stressed. The establishment of impounding areas by LGUs is also a criterion used by the PVO to award top-performing LGUs annually for their implementation of the rabies program. Tabuada explained that the PVO is ready to extend technical assistance to LGUs that request help in establishing impounding areas for stray, unwanted, and unvaccinated dogs. “We will assist them upon request. We train dog catchers and assist in euthanasia if the LGUs do not have a veterinarian,” added Tabuada. Regarding the implementation of euthanasia, Tabuada noted that they follow the guidelines set in Section 6 of Republic Act 8485, also known as The Animal Welfare Act of 1998. This section states that it is unlawful for any person to torture any animal, to neglect to provide adequate care, sustenance, or shelter, or maltreat any animal or to subject any dog or horse to fights, kill or cause to be tortured or deprived of adequate care, or use them in unauthorized research or experiments. The killing of any animal other than cattle pigs, goats, sheep, poultry, rabbits, carabaos, horses, deer and crocodiles is likewise hereby declared unlawful except in the following instances: * When it is done as part of the religious rituals of an established religion or sect or a ritual required by tribal or ethnic custom of indigenous cultural communities; however, leaders shall keep records in cooperation with the Committee on Animal Welfare; * When the pet animal is afflicted with an incurable communicable disease as determined and certified by a duly licensed veterinarian; * When the killing is deemed necessary to put an end to the misery suffered by the animal as determined and certified by a duly licensed veterinarian; * When it is done to prevent an imminent danger to the life or limb of a human being; * When done for the purpose of animal population control; * When the animal is killed after it has been used in authorized research or experiments; and * Any other ground analogous to the foregoing as determined and certified licensed veterinarian. In all the above mentioned cases, including those of cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, poultry, rabbits, carabaos, horses, deer and crocodiles the killing of the animals shall be done through humane procedures at all times. In addition to establishing impounding areas for stray dogs, the Iloilo provincial government under Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. continues to intensify its efforts to curb rabies through a comprehensive dog vaccination program. Since taking office in 2019, the Defensor administration annually allocates P8 million to purchase 20,150 vials of vaccines, targeting at least 70 percent of the province’s total dog population. As of August 31, 2024, approximately 279,989 dogs, or 86.21 percent of the dog population in the province, have been vaccinated this year. The PVO is also actively conducting spaying and neutering activities across LGUs, aiming to promote responsible pet ownership and address the challenge of pet overpopulation in the community. To date, the PVO has successfully spayed 273 dogs and castrated 648 dogs. Furthermore, from October 1 to 7, the province celebrated Animal Welfare Week, as designated by Presidential Proclamation No. 715 dated October 11, 2014. This annual observance is aimed at fostering a culture of kindness and responsibility towards animals among Filipinos, particularly the youth. The proclamation underscores the importance of kindness, justice, and protection for all living creatures as key factors in maintaining and restoring the country’s ecological balance.
