Project HUB

Project HUB is a proposed public transport terminal in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. History The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) in May 2024, have reportedly looked into the lot of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) near the Quezon Memorial Circle for a possible site of an integrated transport hub. The Department of Transportation (DOTr), the GSIS, the MMDA and the Quezon City government met on October 15, 2024, to discuss their commitment on building an intermodal rail-city bus terminal and depot in Quezon City. This is a response to a presidential directive to construct one with the GSIS committing its lot near the Quezon Memorial Circle. The DOTr along with the World Bank will plan, finance and build the transport hub. The MMDA will conduct feasibility studies on traffic management and basic engineering design. It is projected to be complete by 2027. Location Project HUB will be built at a lot at the corner of the intersection linking Elliptical Road and Commonwealth Avenue The intermodal hub is said to rival the scale of the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) in Parañaque. It is projected to also connect commuters using the yet to be opened Quezon Memorial Circle and University Avenue stations of MRT Line 7 References
Philippine Information Agency

Philippine Information Agency is a state news agency of the Philippines. History The Philippine Information Agency (PIA) was established on December 24, 1986, via Executive Order No. 100 by President Corazon Aquino as the main arm for public information dissemination by the Philippine government. It replaced the National Media Production Center which existed mostly during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos. PIA, having a chain of provincial branches nationwide, was reportedly the largest organization within the Office of the Press Secretary (OPS) at the time President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, in her first year in office, ordered its transfer from the OPS to the Presidential Management Staff. President Arroyo on March 6, 2006 created the Communications Group within the Office of the President (OP) through Executive Order No. 13 placing the PIA within it. Through Executive Order No. 576 of November 7, 2006 the Government Mass Media Group was abolished, empowering the PIA to have access to government media for the purpose of disseminating development-oriented information. In 2010, President Benigno Aquino III created the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) which the PIA became part of. In July 2022, President Bongbong Marcos through Executive Order No. 2 placed the PIA under the direct supervision of the OP and absorbed offices previously under the PCOO, namely the Bureau of Communications Services, the Freedom of Information – Project Management Office, and the Good Governance Office.

Plazoleta Gay

The Plazoleta Gáy, also known locally as Socorro Crossing and formerly referred to as Plaza Gáy, is a commercial intersection and diagonal crossing located in downtown Iloilo City, Philippines. It is the busiest intersection for foot traffic in the downtown area, situated in front of Hua Siong College, Socorro Drug, Locsin-Coscuella Building, and Terranza Residences, and connects Ledesma, Iznart, Arroyo, J.M. Basa, and Iznart Extension Streets. At the center of the intersection stands a white commemorative obelisk, topped with a dove. It was redeveloped in 2025 to include a paved area and a mini park. The area is recognized as a significant site for the expression of free speech, frequently serving as a venue for rallies, protests, and other political and social demonstrations. It played a crucial role during the People Power Revolution in February 1986, when citizens gathered to denounce the Marcos dictatorship and demand its ouster. The movement contributed to the ascension of Corazon Aquino to the presidency, following the departure of the Marcoses to Hawaii on February 25, 1986. Plazoleta Gáy was named after José María N. Gáy, the last Spanish mayor of Iloilo and the first mayor under the American colonial period. References
Carpenter Bridge (Iloilo)

The Carpenter Bridge is a pair of bridges spanning the Iloilo River in Iloilo City, Philippines, consisting of the original bridge, which has been converted into a pedestrian walkway and is part of the Iloilo River Esplanade, and the new bridge, which serves vehicle traffic. It was named after Governor Frank Watson Carpenter, the first civilian governor of the Moro Province (Department of Mindanao and Sulu) in Mindanao. The original Carpenter Bridge is one of the oldest bridges in Iloilo City, spanning the Iloilo River. History The original Carpenter Bridge was built in 1911 during the American colonial period, replacing a bamboo bridge that connected Molo and Mandurriao. In the 2000s, the bridge faced structural issues and was rehabilitated rather than demolished due to its historical value. It was subsequently transformed into a promenade, connecting the Iloilo River Esplanade on both sides of the river. In 2008, a new two-lane bridge was constructed adjacent to the old bridge to accommodate passing vehicles. See also Iloilo River Esplanade References
La Paz Church (Iloilo)

Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Parish Church, commonly known as La Paz Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in the district of La Paz in Iloilo City, Philippines. It is under the Archdiocese of Jaro. History La Paz Church was initially established as a visita of the Our Lady of Candles Parish in Jaro. Friars of the Augustinian Order managed the church, which was one of two parishes handed to them (the other being San Jose Placer Church) in exchange for Jaro. In 1870, La Paz Church was established as an independent parish, with Fr. Candido Gonzales serving as its first parish priest. Fr. Gonzales initiated the construction of a convent and a place of worship made of wood and bricks. Between 1870 and 1874, he began building the colonial stone church, which was completed in 1895 under the leadership of Fr. Mariano Ysar. Despite surviving the ruins of the Second World War and the devastating 1948 earthquake that destroyed the Oton Church, the church sustained significant damage. Reconstruction efforts were spearheaded by Fr. Melecio Fegarido in the 1960s, and the restored structure was consecrated on May 24, 1995. The parish was served by fourteen Augustinian priests before its administration was turned over to the secular clergy in 1910. Over the decades, the church became the mother parish to several daughter parishes in La Paz and Lapuz districts, namely Our Lady of the Assumption Church (1952), St. Clement's Church (1962), Our Lady of Fatima Church (1972), and San Lorenzo Church (1992). Architecture The neoclassical La Paz Church, resembling the San Jose Placer Parish Church, features symmetrical bell towers flanking a facade of red-brown bricks with white accents. The facade is divided horizontally by cornices into panels with arched apertures and pilasters, topped by a pediment with carvings of a sailboat, flora, fauna, and the Chi-Rho symbol at its apex. The octagonal belfries are capped with domes, lanterns, and crosses. Two Ionic columns from 1970 vertically divide the facade, framing the main arched doorway, a heart-shaped low relief of a holy figure, and the niche of the patron saint. The lintel bears the inscription "NSTRA. SRA. DE LA PAZ Y BUENA VIAJE" beneath an ornamental pediment. The interior has three naves without transepts. The main nave is bordered by pillars supporting a clerestory of windows, while the ceiling is decorated with rafters and repeating cross motifs, echoed in the side naves.

Mandurriao Church

Espousal of Our Lady Parish Church, commonly known as Mandurriao Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in the district of Mandurriao in Iloilo City, Philippines. It is under the Archdiocese of Jaro. History Mandurriao Church was established as a visita under the Augustinian friars during the Spanish period in the 17th century. In 1768, it was handed over to the Jesuits, then later to the Dominicans, before being returned to the Augustinians. In 1921, Mandurriao became an independent parish. Unfortunately, during the Second World War, the colonial-era church, cemetery, and other structures, as well as its records, were destroyed. Following the war, a modest house of worship was built, and reconstruction efforts culminated in the church's dedication in 1959. By 1985, plans for a new church emerged. Construction began in 1991, based on a design by Engr. Timoteo Jusayan, which was later modified by Engr. Ermelo Porras and Architect Rolando Siendo. The church was inaugurated on February 21, 1998, and its construction was completed two years later in 2000. Architecture The Mandurriao Church features a churchyard with a footpath leading to the portico, which is flanked by semicircular gardens. The gardens house the images of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the gospel side and the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the epistle side. The church's façade has a brick-tile surface, with a balustrade dividing the portico (which has an archway) from the pediment, which is punctured by an arch window. The façade is flanked by two bell towers, each with a base pierced by round and arch openings. The upper floors of the towers feature arch punctures, and the towers are capped with pyramidal roofs, adding to the church's classic architectural appeal.

Godofredo P. Ramos Airport

Der Flughafen Caticlan (Filipino Paliparang Godofredo P. Ramos, englisch Caticlan Airport, IATA-Code: MPH, ICAO-Code: RPVE) ist ein Flughafen in der Provinz Aklan auf der Insel Panay in der Region Western Visayas (Philippinen). Der Flughafen ist von der philippinischen Zivilluftfahrtbehörde (Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines) als Inlandsflughafen der Kategorie Class 2 Principal Airport eingestuft. Infrastruktur Der Flughafen verfügte ursprünglich über eine Start- und Landebahn mit einer Länge von 950 m und einer Breite von 30 m. Das Terminal des Flughafens besteht aus einer kleinen Gepäckausgabe sowie einem Warteraum (boarding-area) mit 120 Sitzplätzen. Aufgrund der sehr kurzen Start- und Landebahn konnte der Flughafen lange nur von kleineren Propellerflugzeugen oder von Jets kleiner als Boeing 737 oder Airbus A320 angeflogen werden. Überwiegend wurde der Flughafen daher von De Havilland DHC-8 der Airphil Express, ATR 72 der Cebu Pacific, Dornier 328, Let 410 der Tigerair Philippines und von verschiedenen Cessna-Typen der 400er-Serie bedient. Nachdem die Bahn auf 1800 m verlängert worden war, landete am 18. November 2016 erstmals ein Airbus A320 der Philippine Airlines in Caticlan. Zwischenfälle Am 19. Juli 2005 setzte eine Jakowlew Jak-40 der Interisland Airlines (Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen RP-C2803) auf dem Flughafen Caticlan vor der 950 m langen Landebahn auf. Beim Bergungsversuch brachte man das Fahrwerk zum Zusammenbrechen, woraufhin die Maschine zum Totalschaden wurde; sie konnte mit den vor Ort zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln nicht wieder flugfähig gemacht werden. Von den 23 Personen an Bord kam niemand ums Leben. Im Jahr 2012 wurde das Wrack aufgekauft und vor der nahegelegenen Urlaubsinsel Boracay als Attraktion für Taucher versenkt. Im Jahr 2009 kam es zu Einschränkungen beim Flugverkehr, nachdem zwei Xi’an MA60 der Zest Airways bei der Landung auf der nur 950 m langen Landebahn verunglückt waren. Daraufhin erließ die Aufsichtsbehörde ein Start- und Landeverbot für Maschinen mit mehr als 50 Sitzplätzen und es wurden Auflagen für den Flughafen erlassen. Die Start- und Landebahn musste um 100 Meter verlängert und ein Hügel, der sich in der Anflugrichtung befand, abgetragen werden. Nach Abschluss der Arbeiten wurde der Flughafen wieder freigegeben. Die Fluggesellschaften Airphil Express und Cebu Pacific nahmen den Flugbetrieb im Jahre 2010 wieder auf, Zest Airways blieb dem Flughafen jedoch fern.
