Maria Cristina Airport

Maria Cristina Airport (IATA: IGN, ICAO: RPMI), also known as Iligan Airport, is an airport serving the general area of Iligan, located in the province of Lanao del Norte in the Philippines. It is the only airport in the province. The airport is classified as a secondary airport, or a minor commercial domestic airport, by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines. Located some 1,300 feet or 396 meters above sea level, Maria Cristina Airport has the distinction of being the highest airport in Mindanao and the second-highest in the Philippines, next to Loakan Airport in Baguio. The airport takes its name from its location, Barangay Maria Cristina in the neighboring municipality of Balo-i. However, the airport can also be named after one of Iligan's most famous attractions, Maria Cristina Falls. With the construction of Laguindingan Airport in Misamis Oriental, designed to serve the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan corridor, this airport was replaced by the new airport along with Lumbia Airport in Cagayan de Oro. The Laguindingan Airport located in Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental opened in 2013. It is expected to augment the city's need for a nearby airport as the new airport is only 65 kilometers away or at most 35 to 40 minutes away from Iligan. The new airport is a flagship project of the Mindanao Super Regions project as a major project of the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Corridor (CIC). Accidents and incidents Philippine Airlines Flight 443 was on approach to Iligan Airport on December 13, 1987, when it crashed into nearby Mt. Gurain. All 15 passengers and crew on board were killed.

Caramoan-Nationalpark

i3i6 Der Caramoan-Nationalpark liegt in der Provinz Camarines Sur auf der Insel Luzon auf den Philippinen. Er erstreckt sich über eine Fläche von 316 Hektar und wurde mit Inkrafttreten des Präsidentenerlasses 291 vom 20. Juli 1938 auf einer Fläche von 347 Hektar eingerichtet. Er steht im Anhang des NIPAS-Gesetzes von 1992 als geschützter Naturpark und soll auf eine Größe von 4.091 Hektar erweitert werden. Er liegt an der Nordküste der Caramoan-Halbinsel auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Caramoan und ist ein kombiniertes Land- und Meeresschutzgebiet. Er hat einige bemerkenswerte landschaftliche Eigenschaften wie weiße Sandstrände, Höhlen, einen unterirdischen Fluss und einen See auf einer der Küste vorgelagerten Insel. Die Einheimischen haben Wanderwege für die Besucher angelegt. Er ist ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel für Touristen und für die einheimische Bevölkerung. Die Kernzone des Nationalparks bildet die Küstenregion, an die sich verkarstete Höhenzüge anschließen, die dem Beobachter einen surrealen Anblick bieten. Diese erreichen eine Höhe von 220 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel. Die abwechslungsreiche Naturkulisse bietet einen Lebensraum für den endemischen, fast zwei Meter langen Grays Waran (Varanus olivaceus). Weitere Reptilien, die dort vorkommen, sind verschiedene Skinke wie Brachymeles samarensis, Dasia grisea, Lipinia pulchellum, Brachymeles boulengeri, Otosaurus cumingi und der nach Fedor Jagor benannte Sphenomorphus jagori. Es wurden Sichtungen des endemischen Frosches Platymantis corrugatus gemeldet. Beobachtungen des Dugong (Dugong dugon) stammen aus dem Jahr 1997. Von der Avifauna ist wenig bekannt; es wurde nur der Luzon-Spatelschwanzpapagei (Prioniturus luconensis) aus dem Nationalpark gemeldet.

BRP Sierra Madre

USS LST-821, rebautizado como USS Harnett County (LST-821/AGP-281),​ es un buque de desembarco de tanques clase LST-542 construido para la Armada de los Estados Unidos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Recibió su nombre del condado de Harnett, Carolina del Norte, y fue el único buque de la Armada de EE. UU. que llevó ese nombre. Sirvió en la Armada de los Estados Unidos en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Guerra de Vietnam. Fue transferida a la Armada de la República de Vietnam de Vietnam del Sur , que lo renombró como RVNS My Tho (HQ-800). Después de la Guerra de Vietnam , el Harnett County fue transferido a la Armada de Filipinas, que la nombró BRP Sierra Madre (LT-57). En 1999, el gobierno filipino hizo que encallara deliberadamente en el banco de arena Ayungin (también conocido como Second Thomas Shoal) en las Islas Spratly para que sirviera como puesto de avanzada del Cuerpo de Marines de Filipinas para afirmar la soberanía filipina en la disputa del país con China sobre la propiedad de las Islas Spratly. Todavía desempeña esa función a partir de 2023.​ Historial En julio de 2015, el portavoz de la Armada filipina, coronel Edgardo Arévalo, dijo que estaban realizando reparaciones de mantenimiento en el barco para garantizar su habitabilidad mínima.​ En noviembre de 2021, los barcos de la Guardia Costera de China bloquearon dos embarcaciones civiles que reabastecían al buque.​ El 6 de febrero de 2023, la Guardia Costera china utilizó lo que la Armada de Filipinas describió como un láser de grado militar para cegar temporalmente a la tripulación.​ El 6 de agosto de 2023, los barcos de la Guardia Costera china dispararon cañones de agua contra un barco de la Guardia Costera filipina que reabastecía al Sierra Madre.​ El aumento de los encuentros con patrullas chinas ha coincidido con un cambio en la política exterior del presidente filipino Bongbong Marcos, que ha aumentado la cooperación con el ejército estadounidense. En febrero de 2023, anunció una ampliación del Acuerdo de Cooperación de Defensa Mejorada.​ En octubre de 2023 comenzaron las reparaciones y modernizaciones del BRP Sierra Madre. El gobierno filipino tenía como objetivo mejorar las condiciones de vida dentro del barco reparando los dormitorios existentes, añadiendo una cocina moderna y acceso a Internet.​ Galería Referencias

Carnaza

Carnaza is a barangay in the Philippines located on the island of the same name. The 173.5-hectare (429-acre) turtle-shaped island is located north of Malapascua Island which itself is north of mainland Cebu. Carnaza is then the northernmost offshore island and barangay of the municipality of Daanbantayan. The island is bordered on all sides by the Visayan Sea. Topography The island's topography includes coastal plains, mangrove swamps, lagoons and semi-rounded hills. Its coastal plain constitutes about 9.7% while semi-rounded hills constitute the biggest portion of the island covering about 14.4% of the total area. The mangrove forest has an area of about 10.1 hectares or 5.8% of the island. The highest point was measured at 55 metres (180 feet) above sea level. Within the small island are the sitios of Candionesio, Carnaza, Daanbaryo, Linao, Liog‑liog and Pantao. Flora The dominant upland vegetation is ipil-ipil (Leucaena leucocephala), which covered most of the slopes. Agricultural crops like coconuts, cassava, banana, sugarcane, corn and breadfruit, among others, are present in some areas. Fauna On a paper report on the survey conducted on the island on July 16–20, 1990, a total of 18 species of birds representing 7 orders and 15 families were identified and reported. The most common species were grey-rumped swiftlets (Collocalia marginata), white-collared kingfishers (Halcyon chloris), pied trillers (Lalage nigra), black-naped orioles (Oriolus chinensis), Philippine magpie robins (Copsychus saularis), Malaysia fantails (Rhipidura javanica), white-breasted woodswallows (Artamus leucorhynchus), glossy starlings (Aplonis panayensis), yellow-breasted sunbirds (Nectarinia jugularis) and Eurasian tree sparrows (Passer montanus). For the rest of the species, either only one or two individuals were seen or only either calls were heard. The islanders reported that the tabon bird (dusky megapode, Megapodius freycinet) used to be numerous in Carnaza Island. Also listed on the report are the orders Cephalopoda, Gastropoda and Pelecypoda. Two genera of cephalopods were identified, namely; Sepia and Sepioteuthis. A total of 36 species belonging to 19 families of gastropods have been listed. Further study is needed to make a complete listing. References
Roma Point Bridge

The Roma Point Bridge is a 1.7 km (1.1 mi) cable-stayed bridge under construction between the towns of Quezon and Calauag in Quezon, Philippines. The bridge will connect Alabat Island and its three municipalities of Perez, Alabat, and Quezon with the rest of Luzon, which are separated by Silangan Pass. Once completed, it will be the longest bridge in Quezon province and the Calabarzon region. History Alabat Island and its three municipalities of Perez, Alabat and Quezon, are separated from the rest of Luzon by Silangan Pass, a narrow passage between Lopez Bay and Calauag Bay to the west and east of the island, respectively. As such, the more than 43,000 people living on the island who have important business in Manila or the provincial capital Lucena have to take a 45-minute roll-on/roll-off ferry from the Port of Alabat that crosses Lopez Bay to the Port of Atimonan in Quezon Province. However, scheduled ferry service can be interrupted by inclement weather or mechanical problems in the ferries, which inconveniences travelers. Alternatively, travelers can take the shorter 15-minute boat ride across Silangan Pass to Barangay Agoho in Calauag, Quezon but these can only take passengers and cargo and not motor vehicles. The provincial government of Quezon has long envisioned a bridge that would connect Alabat Island with the rest of the province to facilitate safer travel of people and cargo and to spur economic growth in the municipalities of the island. A feasibility study to determine the safest, most stable and most economical crossing to Alabat Island was commissioned by Quezon 4th district representative Angelina Tan and it was determined that a bridge across Silangan Pass is the best location. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has allocated an initial funding of PH₱ 250 million out of the total estimated cost of PH₱ 1 billion for the construction of the bridge. Construction In March 2018, a groundbreaking ceremony was held in Barangay Agoho in Calauag, Quezon, attended by DPWH secretary Mark Villar, Representative Tan, DPWH Region 4-A Director Samson Hebra and the mayors of Perez, Alabat and Quezon, marking the start of construction for the bridge. Early photos of the bridge's architectural plan showed a cable-stayed bridge design. To facilitate construction, the Hondagua-Roma Point Road which connects Barangay Agoho in Calauag, Quezon and Barangay Hondagua in Lopez had to be widened to accommodate four-wheeled vehicles. Construction of the bridge approach on the Lopez side also commenced. The concrete foundation of the piers have already been constructed by March 2020 and by November 2020, several piers on the bridge approach have already been erected. Once completed, it will be the longest bridge in Quezon Province, longer than the 300 m (980 ft) span of Kalilayan Bridge in Unisan, Quezon, which is the current record holder. It would also be the longest bridge in Calabarzon, until the Bataan–Cavite Interlink Bridge is completed. However, no date of completion has been set for the bridge. References

Aquilino Q. Pimentel International Convention Center

The Aquilino Q. Pimentel Jr. International Convention Center (APICC) is a convention and exhibition venue complex and indoor arena in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. Originally known as Cagayan de Oro Convention Center, the venue began construction in 2001, and for the next twenty years experienced a series of setbacks and disputes before its eventual completion in 2021. Aquilino Pimentel Jr., a Misamis Oriental native and former CDO mayor, first created the project during his time in the Senate. In 2022, the facility was renamed after Pimentel under Republic Act No. 11485. Construction The convention center project was conceptualized by then-Senator Aquilino Pimentel Jr., who hailed from Cagayan de Oro, at the start of his term in 1998. Construction of the facility began on June 30, 2001 and was projected to be complete in August 2003. However the construction of the convention center was stalled in multiple occasions. During the administration of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, there was difficulty in securing funds for the project. Pimentel alleged that Arroyo was blocking the release of funds for projects initiated by legislators belonging to the opposition including the convention center project. The former senator had suggested naming the facility after Arroyo's father Diosdado Macapagal, due to her parent also being a former president, in a bid to secure her support for the project. By November 2009, only 45 percent of the project was completed. Another setback was experienced in 2012 due to an ownership dispute over the site of the facility which was only resolved in late 2016. Construction work on the main building started in February 2018. By July 2019, the convention center is already 56 percent complete; with the main building 88 percent finished. The Department of Public Works and Highways announced the completion of the convention center's main building on September 8, 2021. Pimentel has proposed the site to be named after Pablo P. Magtajas who was mayor of Cagayan de Oro from 1984 to 1998. House Bill No. (HBN) 8842 renaming Cagayan de Oro (CDO) International Convention Center as Aquilino Q. Pimentel, Jr., was approved by the House of Representatives on the third and final reading on March 22, 2021, while the Senate passed it on January 31, 2022. This lapsed into law on June 18, 2022, without the signature of President Rodrigo Duterte in accordance with Article VI Section 27 (1) of the 1987 Constitution. Facilities The CDO Convention Center's main building covers an area of 10,500 square meters (113,000 sq ft) and has a spectator capacity of 7,700 while it could host additional 700 people through its function rooms. The building complex will also host a dedicated building that will house offices of the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), a multistory car park building, a viewing deck, a helipad, a pavilion, and an administrative building among other facilities.

Pasil Fish Market

The Pasil Fish Market is a major fish market located in Barangay Suba, Cebu City, Philippines. Established in 1921, the market is a major market for fresh fish sourced throughout the seas of Visayas, such as Visayan Sea, Samar Sea, Camotes Sea, and Bohol Strait, among others. The Pasil Fish Port started as a market, which was constructed with light materials and had wooden stalls. It was originally part of Barangay Pasil, thus its name. After a city ordinance dividing Pasil into two separate barangays (to be named Pasil and Suba) was approved, it was determined that the market was situated within the boundaries of the new barangay of Suba. It was later renovated in the 80s under the term of then-Cebu City mayor Tomas Osmeña when an agreement was negotiated with the government of Belgium for the construction of a nearby fish port. Through City Ordinance No. 1419, the city government in March 1992 renamed Bugallon Street, where the market is located, to Belgium Street to recognize the Belgian government's role in the area's economic development. Several incidents of protected species and products derived from them being sold in the market have also been reported such as manta ray, sting ray, green sea turtle, and shark meat. On May 3, 2020, Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella ordered the temporary closure of the market, including the Suba Fish Port, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was scheduled to reopen on August 15, 2020 but was moved to August 28, 2020. References
Divine Mercy Statue (Bulacan)

The Divine Mercy Statue in Marilao, Bulacan, is a 45.72 m (150.0 ft) Roman Catholic monument to Jesus Christ as the Divine Mercy. It is the tallest statue of the Divine Mercy in the Philippines. History The Divine Mercy Statue was an idea by Filipino priest Próspero Tenorio, who is also secretary-general of the Asian office of the World Apostolic Congress on Mercy (WACOM), as well as the rector and parish priest of the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy. Construction of the statue began in January 2016 and it was unveiled on January 19, 2017 as part of the 4th WACOM congress – the first time it was held in Asia. This was despite the project only being 70 percent complete, with finishing touches to be done on the statue's neck and shoulders. A Mass was held as part of the inauguration, with Nigerian Bishop Martin Uzoukwu officiating in lieu of Malolos Bishop José Francisco Oliveros, who by then was weakened by prostate cancer. The Mass was attended by around 5,000 people. At the time of its inauguration, it was the tallest statue of the Divine Mercy in the Philippines. Architecture and design The Divine Mercy Statue is found within the grounds of the National Shrine. The structure, which has a total height of 45.72 metres (150.0 feet), consists of the statue itself standing at 30.48 meters (100.0 ft), and the building serving as its podium which is 15.24 meters (50.0 ft) tall. The building contains a multi-purpose hall and a dormitory. The statue’s features are based on the first rendition of the Divine Mercy image by Eugeniusz Kazimirowski – the only version Saint Faustina Kowalska supervised and saw in her lifetime. This 1934 “Vilnius image” was converted into a digitally sculpted model, which was printed in sections using large format 3D printing. These were then coated in fibreglass to weatherproof the statue. Local construction, architectural, and engineering firm V.B. Columna was commissioned for the project.
