Marcelo Fernan Bridge

The Marcelo Fernan Bridge, also known as the Second Cebu–Mactan Bridge and locally as the Second Bridge, is an extradosed cable-stayed bridge located in Metro Cebu in the Philippines. It crosses the Mactan Channel, connecting Mandaue in mainland Cebu to Lapu-Lapu City in Mactan Island. It is currently the second-longest cable-stayed bridge in the Philippines after the Cebu–Cordova Link Expressway, which also crosses the Mactan Channel. Before it was named the Marcelo Fernan Bridge, it was called the Consolacion Bridge, owing to its proximity to the municipality of Consolacion, which is 1.6 miles (2.6 km) from its north end. It is one of three bridges crossing the Mactan Channel, the others being the Sergio Osmeña Jr. Bridge (opened in 1973) and the Cebu–Cordova Link Expressway (opened in 2022). History The bridge was opened in August 1999 to decongest the traffic from the older Sergio Osmeña Jr. Bridge, which opened in 1973. The bridge has a total length of 1,237 meters (4,058 ft) with a centre span of 185 meters (607 ft) and was inaugurated by Philippine President Joseph Estrada on August 3, 1999 as the Second Mactan–Mandaue Bridge. After its completion, the bridge had one of the widest and longest bridge spans in the Philippines. The bridge was constructed with the help of the Japanese government. On June 27, 2000, the bridge was renamed as the Marcelo Fernan Bridge through Republic Act 8795, after former Chief Justice and Senate President Marcelo Fernan, who died a month before the bridge's opening. Additional information On the Mactan Island side of the bridge, there is a park called the Millennium Park at the base of the bridge's piers, and the Filipino Seafarers Memorial is located in that park. Also, the bridge has two pedestrian walkways, one each on the north and south sides. On the Cebu Island side of the bridge, there is Mandaue, where the bridge can be accessed via United Nations Avenue. The Mactan side of the bridge, which is in Lapu-Lapu City, can be accessed via Old Patiller Road, a spur road of the Manuel L. Quezon National Highway. The bridge also sits astride the northern end of the Mactan Channel, a gateway to the Cebu International Port managed by the Cebu Port Authority, where about 80% of domestic and international shipping operators and shipbuilders in the Philippines are located. The Sergio Osmeña Bridge is about 1.6 km (0.99 mi) south of the Marcelo Fernan Bridge.

Camp Abubakar

Camp Iranun is a Philippine Army military base located in Barira, Maguindanao del Norte, Philippines. It is named after the Iranun people, a Moro ethnic group native to the area encompassing the boundaries of Maguindanao del Norte, Maguindanao del Sur, Lanao del Sur and Cotabato provinces. Camp Iranun was once known as Camp Abubakar al Siddique, the largest Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) camp, its largest settlement as well as the seat of its Shariah-based government. It was captured by government forces during the 2000 Philippine campaign against the MILF. Camp Abubakar had been named after Abu Bakr, a Sahabi and the father-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. As Camp Abubakar Camp Abubakar was established in the 1980s by Salamat Hashim, after he and his comrades Murad Ebrahim and Mohagher Iqbal, broke away from the Moro National Liberation Front and Nur Misuari. Camp Abubakar covered approximately forty square miles and included a mosque, a madrasah, commercial and residential areas, a weapons factory, a solar energy system, and segments of seven different villages, including portions of the towns of Matanog, Barira, Buldon and Parang in Maguindanao del Norte province. Salamat Hashim, then-Chairman of the MILF, resided in a bungalow inside the camp itself, while Murad Ebrahim, then-MILF military chief had his office in the town of Matanog. Camp Abubakar was a self-sufficient entity; agricultural produce from the surrounding farms sustained the MILF fighters garrisoned in the camp. It had small businesses and public markets, and residents paid a tax to the MILF. Philippine Army garrison The Philippine Army's 603rd Infantry Brigade garrisoned Camp Iranun after the 2000 military campaign. The camp served as the brigade's headquarters until June 2015, when the unit relocated to Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao del Norte. The Philippine Army's 37th Infantry Battalion then garrisoned Camp Iranun. During the Presidency of Benigno Aquino III, Camp Iranun was considered as a possible storage depot for decommissioned firearms surrendered by the MILF as part of a peace deal being negotiated with the government as part of the Bangsamoro peace process.

Caltex

Caltex è un marchio petrolifero di proprietà della Chevron Corporation utilizzato in oltre 60 paesi nella regione dell'Asia-Pacifico, Medio Oriente e Sud Africa. In passato era presente anche in Europa, India e altre zone dell'Africa. Storia La Caltex fu fondata nel 1936 come California Texas Oil Company, attraverso una joint venture tra la Texas Company (Texaco) e la Standard Oil of California (in seguito Chevron) per commercializzare petrolio estratto dalle concessioni appena acquisite in Arabia Saudita. La compagnia fu ribattezzata Caltex Petroleum Corp. nel 1968. Le due società madri si fusero nel 2001 per formare la ChevronTexaco (semplicemente Chevron dal 2005) e Caltex rimane uno dei principali marchi internazionali dell'azienda. Europa Dal 1947 il marchio Caltex sostituì il marchio Texaco in Europa, grazie alla cessione della rete da parte della società texana. In Italia, la filiale locale della compagnia nasceva dall'unione degli interessi fra la Caltex americana e la ex Petrolea, società italiana costituita nel 1927 con capitali russi e assorbita dalla Fiat nel 1936 per 16 milioni di lire. Il 50% della Petrolea, che nel 1944 aveva visto la distruzione degli stabilimenti di Savona, fu ceduto dalla Fiat alla Caltex nel 1949, con la creazione della Petrol Caltex (o Petrolcaltex). La succursale italiana dell'azienda controllò inoltre, sempre con la Fiat, la raffineria SARPOM fino al 1961. Nel 1967 le operazioni in Europa cessarono e la rete venne spartita tra Chevron e Texaco. A metà degli anni 2010, tuttavia, il brand fu rispolverato in Italia, con l'apertura di una stazione di servizio a marchio Petrol Caltex a Porto Viro, in provincia di Rovigo. Oceania, Asia e Africa La Caltex Petroleum Australia Pty. Ltd. (quotata alla borsa australiana) fino a marzo 2015 era posseduta al 50% da Chevron e al 50% da azionisti australiani. Nel marzo 2015, Chevron ha ceduto la propria quota del 50% agli azionisti australiani. È uno dei maggiori distributori di petrolio dell'Australia. Al 2022 il marchio Caltex è presente nei seguenti paesi: Australia, Cambogia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nuova Zelanda, Pakistan, Filippine, Singapore, Sudafrica, Thailandia e Vietnam.

Caltex

De California Texas Oil Corporation, beter bekend onder de merknaam Caltex, is een bedrijfsonderdeel van Chevron Corporation. De California Texas Oil Corporation is op 30 juni 1936 ontstaan als een dochter van Standard Oil of California (SOCAL) en Texas Oil Company. SOCAL had in 1932 olie ontdekt in Bahrein, maar had hiervoor geen afzetmarkten. Texas Oil Company had wel distributie-activiteiten in Azië, maar had geen olie. Door samen te gaan werden beide problemen opgelost. De activiteiten werden verder uitgebreid, in 1949 werd het bedrijf actief in Japan en raffinaderijen volgden in diverse andere landen zoals de Filipijnen en Australië. In 1966 was het bedrijf actief in meer dan 70 landen. De merknaam Caltex werd in tal van landen door tankstations gevoerd, ook in België en Nederland. In 1967 werden de Europese activiteiten verdeeld over de twee moederbedrijven. Zij konden zo hun eigen strategie in diverse Europese landen volgen. Texaco (Texas Oil Company) had fors geïnvesteerd in de regio en wilde meer, maar SOCAL wilde zich concentreren op Noord-Amerika. Ten oosten van het Suezkanaal bleef het bedrijf wel actief. In 1968 werd de naam officieel Caltex Corporation omdat de handelsnaam Caltex veel beter bekend was. In 1986 vierde het bedrijf het 50-jarig bestaan. Het was op dat moment actief in 56 landen. In 1999 verhuisde het hoofdkantoor van Dallas (Texas) naar Singapore. In 2001 fuseerden de moederbedrijven van Caltex en gingen samen verder als ChevronTexaco Corporation. In maart 2015 verkocht Chevron de laatste 50% van de aandelen in Caltex Australia. Eerder was de Australische tak van Caltex al gedeeltelijk naar de aandelenbeurs gegaan, maar door de dalende olieprijs had Chevron geld nodig en stootte niet-essentiële bedrijfsonderdelen af. De verkoop leverde Chevron ruim 4 miljard dollar op. Caltex is nog actief in ongeveer 25 landen. De meeste activiteiten zijn in Azië, maar het bedrijf is ook in een beperkt aantal Afrikaanse landen aanwezig zoals Egypte en Zuid-Afrika. Externe link (en) Caltex website
Caltex

Caltex (namnet bildat av California och Texas) var ett amerikanskt oljebolag. Caltex Oil bildades som ett gemensamt ägt bolag under 1930-talet då ett samarbete inleddes mellan det amerikanska The Texas Company, Texaco, som även var verksamt i Europa och behövde en samarbetspartner för oljeleveranser till raffinaderierna där, och det amerikanska Standard Oil Company of California, Socal, som hade oljetillgångar i arabvärlden. På grund av andra världskriget dröjde det till 1947 innan Caltex-skyltarna dök upp i Sverige. I Sverige överfördes Texacos verksamhet i Caltex Oil AB, men 1967 återfördes Caltex europeiska verksamhet i Texaco. Motorsport Caltex Racing sponsrade den tyske formel 1-föraren Kurt Ahrens under 1960-talet.[källa behövs] Varumärket idag Numera används Caltex som namn på Chevrons (tidigare Socal) bensinstationer i Afrika, Sydostasien och Australien där antalet bensinstationer växer stadigt. Caltex logotyp kan fortfarande skymtas i Sverige, främst i nostalgiska motorkretsar. Det finns flera bevarade Caltex-mackar i Sverige, bland annat i den byggnadsminnesförklarade Bensinstationen i Mörarp, samt de i Berg i Småland, i Älvsbyn och i Långshyttan.

Bantayan Airport

Bantayan Airport (ICAO: RPSB) is an airport serving Bantayan Island in the province of Cebu in the Philippines. The airport is located in the municipality of Santa Fe, approximately 3.9 nautical miles (7.2 km; 4.5 mi) from the centre of Bantayan municipality. It is classified as a community airport by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). Since the beginning of 2018, management of the airport has moved from CAAP to Mactan–Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA). Structure Bantayan Airport is a small community airstrip with a paved runway but no services (no refuelling capabilities). The largest handling capacity is now an 80-passenger aeroplane. The concrete runway is 1,400 m (4,590 ft) long and 18 m (60 ft) wide, as well as a small terminal. The terminal shed was erected in 2003, along with two security fences and the airport gate, as part of an airport improvement program initiated by the CAAP. Airlines and destinations Salient dates As of June 2013 there is doubt about the future of the airport. CAAP wishes to cease funding it. However President Aquino, who flew into Bantayan airport for his first island visit in February 2014, is interested in the development of the airport. In October 2015 meanwhile, a private entrepreneur tried to appropriate it. In February 2015 it was reported that initial work was under way on the construction project to build new airports at Bantayan and Camotes. The initial project phase is to determine a suitable location for the new airport, implying that it may be at an entirely different location on the island. From mid-November 2017 CAAP stopped operation of Bantayan airstrip, due to the airport's dilapidated state. In January 2018 the authority to manage the airport in Bantayan Island transferred from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) to the Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA). In August 2020 Bantayan airport terminal, runway extension to be completed by end of 2020. In November the construction is at its last phase, and the airport open to business in December 2020.

Malolos station

Malolos station is an under-construction elevated North–South Commuter Railway (NSCR) station located in Malolos, Bulacan, Philippines. The station was part of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) North Main Line before its closure in the 1980s. History Malolos station (Spanish: Estacion Ferrocaril de Malolos) was opened on March 24, 1891 as part of Ferrocaril de Manila-Dagupan. Services from Manila to Dagupan commenced on November 24, 1892. It was then named Estacion de Barasoain Y Malolos (lit. transl. Barasoain and Malolos Station), as it is located near the Malolos poblacion and the Barasoain Church. In 1892, José Rizal alighted at the Old Malolos station to campaign at the Malolos Historic Town Center for the La Liga Filipina establishment. From 1898 to 1899, The Malolos Congress Delegates were also passengers of the Old station prefatory to the Philippine Declaration of Independence and their gathering at the Barasoain Church for the drafting of the Malolos Constitution. The original station was destroyed in 1945 and was replaced with the current one. It was later abandoned after the ending of northbound services by the Philippine National Railways (PNR). The station was to be rebuilt as a part of the Northrail project, which involved the upgrading of the existing single track to an elevated dual-track system, converting the rail gauge from narrow gauge to standard gauge, and linking Manila to Malolos in Bulacan and further on to Angeles City, Clark Special Economic Zone and Clark International Airport. The project commenced in 2007, but was repeatedly halted then discontinued in 2011. It is currently being rebuilt as the terminus for the first phase of the North–South Commuter Railway. As part of the project, the old station will also be restored. Partial operations are slated to begin by 2027. In February 2025, Bulacan SINEliksik Project of Provincial History, Arts, Culture and Tourism Office Head May Arlene Torres led the unveiling of the historical marker of the Old station. Nearby landmarks The station is located adjacent to the station include La Consolacion University Malolos, Bulacan Provincial Capitol, Bulacan State University, Puregold Jr. Malolos, and the Malolos City Terminal Hub. Located further are Barasoain Church, the Malolos City proper, and Camp General Alejo S. Santos. Gallery References Media related to Malolos station at Wikimedia Commons

Central nuclear de Bataán

La central nuclear de Bataán, que se completó pero en la cual nunca se llegó a instalar combustible, se encuentra en la provincia de Bataán, a 97 km al norte de Manila, en Filipinas. Hasta 2006 constituye el único intento de Filipinas para construir una planta de energía nuclear. El combustible fue entregado y almacenado en la ubicación de la planta, pero nunca fue cargado en el reactor debido a un cambio de gobierno. Historia La construcción fue ordenada a principios de la década de 1970 por el dictador filipino Ferdinand Marcos en respuesta a la crisis energética. El embargo del petróleo había provocado una situación complicada en la economía y Marcos vio la energía nuclear como la mejor forma para cumplir con las necesidades futuras de energía y la reducción de la dependencia del país de la importación de petróleo. Se diseñó un reactor de agua ligera Westinghouse, para producir 621 MW de electricidad. La construcción empezó en 1976 y se completó en 1984 con un coste de 2300 millones de dólares. El primer gobierno después de Marcos, de Corazón Aquino, prohibió el uso de la energía nuclear e incorporó tal prohibición a la Constitución. Futuro de la planta Con datos a 2006, el pago de la deuda originada por la planta constituye la obligación individual de mayor importancia. Gobiernos sucesivos han estudiado diversas propuestas para convertir la planta en una instalación alimentada por petróleo, carbón o gas natural, pero se ha estimado que todas las propuestas son económicamente menos atractivas a largo plazo que la construcción de una nueva planta de combustible fósil.
