Apo Reef Marine Natural Park

i3i6 Der Apo Reef Marine Natural Park erstreckt sich über eine Fläche von 27.469 Hektar und liegt westlich der Insel Mindoro in der Mindoro-Straße im Westen der Philippinen. An das primäre Schutzgebiet schließt sich die Apo Reef Natural Park Pufferzone an. Diese erstreckt sich über eine Fläche von 11.702 Hektar rund um das Schutzgebiet. Die Fläche des Schutzgebietes wird hier als Fläche der Korallenstrukturen zuzüglich einer 500-Meter-Ringzone als direktes Schutzgebiet sowie der Fläche der Pufferzone definiert. Ausgerufen wurde das Schutzgebiet am 6. September 1996 mit dem Präsidentenerlass Nr. 868; dieser weist das Schutzgebiet in der Kategorie Maritimer Naturpark aus. Im Naturpark liegen drei kleinere Inseln, die Apo-Insel, sowie Binangaan und Cayos del Bajo Tinangkapang. Die größte Insel Apo Island bedeckt eine Fläche von ca. 22 Hektar und ist mit Mangroven und weiterer Küstenvegetation bedeckt. Binangaan ist eine felsige Kalksteinformation mit geringem Bewuchs; Cayos del Bajo Tinangkapang ist mit 200–300 m² Fläche eine über dem Meeresspiegel ragende Korallenbank ohne Vegetation. Die Korallenriffe im Apo Reef Marine Natural Park sind nach dem Danajon-Riffsystem, vor Bohol, die zweitgrößten Korallenriffkomplexe der Philippinen und bilden drei Korallenriffe auf einer Ausdehnung von etwa 26 km × 20 km aus. Sie bedecken insgesamt eine Fläche von rund 15.800 Hektar. Die Riffkomplexe besteht primär aus zwei dreiecksförmigen Korallenbankgroßstrukturen, die beide wie ein Atoll aufgebaut sind. Beide besitzen einen flachen, bis zu zwei Meter tiefen, großen Lagunenbereich im Zentrum. Beide Korallengroßstrukturen werden durch den etwa 30 Meter tiefen Meeresgraben getrennt, insgesamt liegen nur ca. 29 Hektar Überwasser. Das dritte Riff ist das Apo-Riff und liegt ungefähr einen Kilometer weiter westlich, außerhalb der beiden Korallenbankgroßstrukturen, und ist eine isolierte Korallenbank, auf der Apo Island liegt mit seinem bekannten Leuchtturm. Die Insel Cayos del Bajo Tinangkapang liegt im Norden und Binangaan im Süden der Struktur. Direkt an den Saumriffkanten fallen die Korallenriffe in steilen, zum Teil vertikalen Wänden fünf bis achtzig Meter in die Tiefe ab. Der Name Apo Reef Marine Natural Park wurde gewählt wegen der räumlichen Nähe zum Apo-Riff. Auch soll der schon vorher sehr hohe Bekanntheitsgrad des Apo-Riffes genutzt werden, um weiterhin den Tauchtourismus in den Naturpark zu ziehen. Der Apo Reef Marine Natural Park steht seit 2006 auf der Vorschlagsliste der Philippinen zur Aufnahme in die Liste des Weltnaturerbes der UNESCO. Weitere Auszeichnungen sind die Zuordnung zu den Asian Heritage Parks der ASEAN-Staaten und den Platin-Status der Blue-Parks-Initiative des Marine Conservation Institute.

The airport would be the second airport in Negros Occidental, after the Bacolod–Silay Airport, and the third airport on the island of Negros. It is located four kilometers northeast of the Kabankalan City Proper on a 100-hectare site in Barangay Hilamonan.

It is said that some of the equipment of Mandurriao Airport in Iloilo City, when closed, will be transferred and used at this airport.

Mira–Nila House

The Mira-Nila House is a historic mansion building in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. Situated along Mariposa Street in Cubao, the building owned by the Benitez family is a declared Heritage House by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, and one of the only two such declared houses in Metro Manila along with the Lichauco Heritage House in Santa Ana, Manila. The building currently houses a museum. Architecture and design The Mira-Nila is an Art Deco building inspired from the design of houses of similar architectural style in Florence, Italy. The house is four storeys high, has a basement, and a tower which served as an observation point. The design of the building was reportedly largely unaltered. The house's name came from the phrase "mira a Manila" ("look at Manila"), exclaimed by Helena Benitez, daughter of the owners of the house, when a fire broke out inside Intramuros in the 1930s. A catalogue of Florentine houses from a Magazine brought home by three sisters of Francisca and Conrado Benítez from a Europe trip served as reference for the design. The Benitez couple themselves were responsible for the architectural design of the building and opted not to commission an architect.
