PH’s first ‘landport’ terminal in Paranaque City to open in November

By Alexandria Dennise San Juan

The country’s first ‘landport’ terminal building in Parañaque City is set to open in November and will serve passengers going to and from provinces in the southern part of Metro Manila.

The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX), tagged as the first “integrated and multi-modal terminal” in the country, will be inaugurated by the Department of Transportation on November 5.

Aside from serving as a transfer point between provincial buses from provinces in the South such as Cavite, Batangas, and in-city modes of transportation, the PITX will also connect different transport modes to provide an efficient travel for passengers.

Once operational, the PITX which was located at Coastal Road is expected to reduce the number of provincial buses plying Metro Manila, specifically along Taft Avenue-Pasay, EDSA.

“This is not just your ordinary terminal, but a landmark transportation hub that is set to uplift the overall terminal experience of our countrymen,” Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade said.

According to the DOTr, the world-class terminal features a passenger-friendly systems design, multi-modal connections, and a wide range of commercial services.

The terminal building also includes three levels wherein departure bay for buses, jeepneys, and taxis is situated on the ground floor; arrival bays for buses on the second floor, and private vehicle facilities such as parking spaces, AUV bays, and a connection to the proposed LRT-1 extension project at the third floor.

A total of 59 bays for provincial and city buses, 49 bays for UV express and jeepneys, and 852 car parking slots, are available at the terminal building.

The PITX can accommodate a maximum daily capacity of 100,000 passengers and peak hour passenger volume of 4,380 arrivals and 3,808 departures, the Department said.

While number of trips per day are pegged at 1,060 arrivals and 949 departures.

Aside from transport bays, five floors of office spaces in the terminal building will also be available for lease.

Meanwhile, park-ride facilities and maintenance areas for minor repairs of vehicles are readily available for convenience of the drivers.

The DOTr also assured the public that bus reservations will now be hassle free through PITX’s “state-of-the-art” bus reservation and online booking with seat selection options, and an advance ticketing system with centralized ticketing counters and 50 automated ticketing kiosks.

The PITX will also house modern concourse facilities such as comfortable seating spaces at waiting areas, free Wi-Fi access, drinking water stations, traveler’s workstation areas, charging ports, locker facilities, and telephone booths.

A centralized shopping center is also available inside the terminal, as well as health and wellness amenities such as baby care rooms, breastfeeding stations, clinic, prayer room, pay-in lounge, and clean restrooms.

Trolleys and wheelchairs are also available for senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs).

To ensure security of the terminal, the Department said that all operations and activities inside are monitored through PITX’s 24-hour CCTV monitoring, along with an advanced 24-hour feedback center for all customers.

Prior to the inauguration of the new terminal, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory issued an order last September directing all public utility vehicles such as buses, jeepneys, and UV Express from provinces southwest of Metro Manila to end their trips at the PITX.

“All provincial public utility buses, UV Express service and public utility jitneys originating from provinces southwest of Metro Manila entering via Coastal Road and Manila Cavite Expressway shall end their routes at the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) in Coastal Road, Parañaque City from the date PITX is fully operational,” the Board said in a Memorandum Circular dated September 13.

President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to lead the inauguration of the PITX which was a flagship project of the administration’s “Build Build Build” Program.

The President will be joined by the Cabinet’s economic and infrastructure cluster heads, as well as other key officials from the government and the private sector.

Wilson Lee Flores receives MLQ Gawad Parangal Award

Congratulations to Wilson Lee Flores for being the worthy recipient of the Manuel L. Quezon Gawad Parangal Award. Flores received the prestigious award last Oct. 12, during Quezon City’s 79th anniversary celebration held at Crown Plaza Galleria in Ortigas.

The City Government represented by Mayor Herbert Bautista, Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte and City Council Majority Floor Leader Frans Pumaren presented the award to Flores. The members of the Gawad Parangal Selection Committee included former UP Pres. Emerlinda Roman, former Budget Minister Manuel Alba, writer-Prof. Butch Dalisay, City Administrator Aldrin Cuna and former actress and QC Vice Mayor Connie Angeles.

Flores, who is a writer, teacher and realty entrepreneur and who in 2014 bought and revived Kamuning Bakery, the city’s oldest bakery out of his passion for history and good food. However, last Feb. 6, 2018, fire from a neighbouring resto-bar burned down the 79-year-old bakery, but Flores and his his staff and workers were not discoraged. In his life, Flores has overcome many crises, including the death of his father when he was only seven years old. What he witnessed as his late teacher-mother’s strong faith also strenghtened his fortitude.

Flores said he accepted the Manuel L. Quezon Gawad Parangal Award in behalf of his late parents who inspired him, his supportive younger sister Marilou F. So, his loyal and hardworking staff and bakers.

The annual #WorldPandesalDay, Flores’ civic & cultural endeavor

The 4th “World Pandesal Day” was held on October 16, 2018 at the burnt ruins of Kamuning Bakery in Judge Jimenez Street corner K-1st Street, Barangay Kamuning, Quezon City where Flores led in giving away free 70,000 pandesal breads and other food items.

On October 28 at 8 a.m., the public is also invited to a free medical, dental and optical mission at Kamuning Bakery Café in cooperation with Chinese General Hospital led by its CEO Dr. James G. Dy.
The Oct. 16 and Oct. 28 events are the last two events to be held here, before Kamuning Bakery Café’s burnt ruins shall be totally demolished, except for two surviving pugon brick ovens which shall be retained for heritage preservation during its reconstruction.

With hashtag #WorldPandesalDay, this is a unique socio-civic and cultural endeavor to highlight the importance of the Philippines’ humble yet popular pandesal bread, to underscore the importance of all people helping solve the age-old problem of hunger.

Flores said an inspiration for World Pandesal Day is the Bible story of a poor boy who gave five loaves of bread and two fishes, which faith in God multiplied to feed thousands.

***

The non-partisan Pandesal Forum, donating public schools

As part of its non-traditional civic and cultural causes, Kamuning Bakery Cafe also hosts the tertulia-inspired and non-partisan “Pandesal Forum” for newsmakers and leaders to dialogue with media and intellectuals over meals of pandesal with other foods and coffee brewed from Benguet province arabica beans.

Flores said: “In this liberal and informal Pandesal Forum which is part of this company’s unique CSR or corporate social responsibility, discussions focus on socio-economic, gut or “pandesal” issues affecting the people, and other topics. The pandesal is unique to the Philippines, loved by the masses, middle-class and by all, it symbolizes people’s simple happiness and wish for liberation from hunger.”

Kamuning Bakery Café is also the first Philippine bakery café to celebrate “World Poetry Day” every March 21, by inviting the public to send in original poems as payments for their coffee or tea.
Ever since Flores took over and revived Kamuning Bakery Café, it has championed diverse socio-civic, cultural, arts and other causes including the donation of four public schoolbuildings. The first public school was donated in the historic seaside town of Balangiga in Eastern Samar province. This fourth-class municipality was victim of cruel colonial war over a century ago from 1901 to 1902, with its stolen church bells still in the U.S.

President Duterte on Kamuning Bakery Café, heritage & battle over hunger

President Rodrigo R. Duterte said: “My warmest greetings to the Kamuning Bakery Café as it celebrates World Pandesal Day. Food plays an integral part in our people’s identity as it reflects our culture and history which have been shaped by various influences of the past. This milestone does not only celebrate the ingenuity of our bakers and their unyielding passion for bread, but also empowers local community bakeries as they preserve and pass down traditional cooking methods.”

Carmina and twins in ‘Sarap, Di Ba?’

Carmina Villaroel (born Maria Carmina Muniz on Aug, 17, 1975) and her twins Mavy (Maverick Peter Legaspi) and Cassy (Maria Cassandra Legaspi) are working together in a show for the first time. This is in GMA Network ’s “Sarap, Di Ba?” which premieres tomorrow, Oct. 20, at 10:45am after “Maynila.”

Carmina and her twins and husband Zoren Legaspi have in the past worked together in commercials (for ice cream and fastfood chains) but this is the first time that the celebrity mom, actress, sought-after endorser and TV host is working with her twins in a show, something that the twins have wished for in a long time.

“Sarap, Di Ba?” is a family-oriented show, about food and fun activities that family members and everyone could engage in. It is also about the latest in music, pop culture, fashion and technology. Because unlike her twins, Carmina is not a millennial, she said she may not be readily aware of all the trends and the lingo that kids use these days. But she knows How to observe, listen and be interested in what Mavy and Cassy are into.

And no matter what age group you belong to, “Sarap, Di Ba?” Is also a platform for sharing experiences. Of course the show won’t be complete without Carmina sharing delicious and healthy food that she prepares for her family. While sharing parenting tips, Carmina will also share her new recipe ideas.

Carmina is returning to the Kapuso Network after being with ABS-CBN from 2012-2017. Prior to this, she was with GMA Artist Center for eight years, from 2003 to 2011. Among the shows she was into were “Doble Kara,” “The Buzz,” “Love ni Mister, Love ni Misis,” “Sis,” “Bridges of Love” and “Lorenzo’s Time.”

Among the movies Carmina appeared in included “The Road,” “Mano Po 2,” “Minahal Kita,” “Mulawin,” “Tiyanak,” “Shake, Rattle and Roll 11 and 12,” “Love You to the Stars and Back,” “Maruja,” and “Hindi Kita Malulimutan.”

‘First Love’ opens today in nationwide cinemas

The much anticipated romantic movie “First Love” which marks the first team-up of Aga Muhlach and Bea Alonzo is slated to open today in nationwide cinemas. This is expected to be a blockbuster at the tills considering the popularity of both the lead stars.

Aga said he waited a long time to work with Bea Alonzo, an actress he has long admired. Aga said he has taken notice of Bea’s rise to fame, noting how good she was in every film project given her. Bea expressed the same sentiments about “Kuya Aga,” and that is why she did not have second thoughts accepting to do “First Love.” And especially so because multi-awarded Paul Soriano is the director.

“First Love” is Direk Paul’s newest big screen project and he is expected to give moviegoers a different experience on love. And if he feels so fulfilled with this movie, it’s because he realized his dream to work with Aga, saying with great pride “I have earned the right to direct Aga, which was my dream ever since I was a young kid.”

This is Aga’s first love story after almost eight years. In an interview, Aga expressed that his character in “First Love” is something he has not done before and is more than excited to share with the world. Meanwhile, this is Bea’s second love story project this year following her impressive portrayal in the much-talked about “Kasal,” which was shown in May 2018.

The story of “First Love” revolves around Nick (played by Aga), a calculated and reserved businessman; and Ali (played by Bea), an impulsive but optimistic photographer. They first met in one of the cinematic streets in Vancouver, Canada after saving the life of a stranger.

While Nick seeks closure for his past mistakes, and Ali continues to be hopeful despite living with a congenital heart disease and being on the wait-list for a heart transplant, they challenge life’s setbacks together by seizing the moment (“Carpe Diem”), taking risks, and ultimately giving each other a new lease on life.

“First Love” showcases a different Aga and Bea. Joining them in the cast are Edward Barber, playing Nick’s godson; Albie Casino, playing Ali’s brother; and Sandy Andolong, who plays Ali’s mother.

At the recent Mediacon for the movie, the stars were asked to define first love. Aga said first love makes one a different person...and philosophizing a little, also said “love now, not tomorrow; it’s about the moment; you want life, live now…”

Bea on the other hand said first love is pure, “nagmamahal ka, hindi ka naghahanap ng kapalit...love involves sacrifice, you just want him to be happy. Actually, mahirap i-define ang Love…”

The journey of Nick and Ali in “First Love” proves that love is as equally present in quiet moments and small details ad much as it is in grand gestures.

“First Love” is produced by Ten17P, ABS-CBN Films-Star Cinema and Viva Films.

Mar Roxas will run for Senate — Drilon

Former Interior Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas II will be making a comeback in the political arena; this time, at the Senate.

Senate Minority Leader and Liberal Party (LP) Senator Franklin Drilon confirmed this to INQUIRER.net on Monday.

“Yes,” Drilon answered in a text message when asked if Roxas will run for senator in the 2019 midterm elections.

Roxas took a break from the limelight after he lost to President Rodrigo Duterte in the 2016 elections.

INQUIRER.net has sought confirmation from Roxas, but he has yet to respond as of posting time.

But in a Facebook video posted earlier in the day, the former presidential aspirant hinted his return to public office, saying he is prepared to “offer” himself to the country.

“Kung sa tingin nyo, makakatulong pa ako, handa ako. Inooffer ko muli ang sarili ko sa inyo. At hinihingi ko rin ang tulong niyo dahil hindi ko kaya ito nang nag-iisa (If you think I can still help, I am ready. I am offering myself again to public service. I am asking for your help because I can’t do this alone),” Roxas said.

“And so here we are, I don’t have any quit in me, and I won’t quit on our country,” he continued.

The LP has been convincing Roxas to run for senator, according to Drilon. /ee

House flourishes under SGMA leadership with 778 processed measures

In the 25 days since former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo assumed the Speakership during the Third Regular Session of the 17th Congress, the House of Representatives processed a total of 778 measures, or an average of 31 measures per session day, before Congress adjourned its session last October 10, 2018.

This translates to a total of 3,707 measures processed by the House from the opening of the 17th Congress on July 25, 2016.

At the outset, Speaker Arroyo made it clear that she will endeavor to carry out the legislative agenda of President Rodrigo Duterte in the House of Representatives.

Exemplifying her trademark sense of hard work, Speaker Arroyo attended committee hearings and plenary sessions to ensure that vital socio-economic measures are deliberated upon and approved on schedule. During the House plenary budget deliberations last October 1, the Speaker, along with the House Members, stayed overnight until session was adjourned at 6 a.m. the next day. Then at 9 a.m. of that day, she attended the hearing of the Committee on Ways and Means chaired by Rep. Estrellita Suansing (1st District, Nueva Ecija) which tackled the Fiscal Regime for the Mining Industry bill.

Of the 778 processed measures during the Third Regular Session, a total of 32 were enacted into law, eight of which were of national significance and 24 of local significance.

Four days after the opening of the Third Regular Session, the much-awaited Organic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao was signed into law by President Duterte as Republic Act 11054, which was based on House Bill 6475.

Also enacted was Republic Act 11055, or the “Philippine Identification System Act” based on HB 6221, which establishes a single national identification system to promote seamless delivery of service, and increase transparency while reducing corruption in the delivery of social services.

Others are RA 11057, or the “Personal Property Security Act” based on HB 6907; RA 11058, “An Act Strengthening Compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Standards” based on HB 64; RA 11059 or the “Retirement Law of the Office of the Ombudsman” based on HB 6578; RA 11069, “An Act Amending Section 1 of Republic Act No. 9727, Reapportioning the Province of Cavite into Eight Legislative Districts” based on HB 5367; RA 11078, “An Act Separating the City of Calamba from the Second Legislative District of Laguna to Constitute the Lone Legislative District of the City of Calamba” based on HB 990; and RA 11080, “An Act Reapportioning the Province of Isabela into Six Legislative Districts” based on HB 7778.

Meanwhile, 41 more measures are awaiting the President’s signature to become additional laws.

Apart from these landmark measures, the House ratified 10 bicameral reports, nine of which are of national importance and one of local significance.

In terms of plenary approval, the House approved on third and final reading a total of 125 bills. These comprise 33 national and 91 local measures, and one joint resolution.
