Ocampo Pagoda Mansion

The Ocampo Pagoda Mansion is a mansion which resembles a pagoda configuration in Quiapo, Manila, Philippines. It was commissioned by Jose Mariano Ocampo and was constructed from 1936 to 1941 on the eve of the Japanese invasion of the Philippines. History The three-storey structure with a seven-storey tower at the northwestern corner was Ocampo's vision of a Japanese castle standing behind his mansion across an estero (estuary). The Japanese-themed structure was inspired by the owner's admiration of Japan as having proved that an Asian country could modernize and equal the developments and progress occurring in the West. Ocampo was aided by two Filipino engineers and two Japanese overseers. It was timely that the Japanese-inspired structure was built during the colonization of the Philippines by the Japanese military. Because of the high-grade reinforced concrete that was used in the building, the house became a shelter for Ocampo's neighbors during the air battles between Japanese and American planes over Manila in World War II. Now in a state of disrepair, the house was last seen fully intact in the 1960s. Architecture Though Japanese-inspired, the Pagoda is a combination of styles. The base of the four-sided tower is decorated on two sides with juxtaposed Japanese dormer gables with ornate bargeboards. The reinforced concrete gables do not carry any ridge but act as an ornament to the tower's base. On top of the interwoven gables is the upper part of the tower which resembles a medieval Western style. The house is crowned by battlements with defensive, teeth-like crenellations. Machicolations are located beneath the battlements, and there are cantilevered turrets at the corners of the tower. The pyramidal red-tiled roofs, including the turret crowns, outline the house's structure in the skyline. According to Victorino Manalo, a museum expert and director of the Metropolitan Museum of Manila, there is an elaborate world of symbols present in the structure. The most important of these symbols is Ocampo's personal emblem, which is the owl carved under the main gable of the lower tower.

San Bartolome Church (Malabon)

San Bartolome Parish Church, commonly known as Malabon Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in San Agustin, Malabon, Metro Manila, Philippines. The church's titular is Malabon's patron saint, Saint Bartholomew the Apostle whose feast day falls on every 24th day of August. It is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Kalookan. History A former visita of Tondo, Malabon was founded on May 21, 1599. On May 17, 1614, it became an independent parish, with Padre Luis Gutierrez as vicar prior. When Padre Diego de Robles became prior of Malabon in 1621, he began the construction of the first stone church a year after. The construction was gradual as additions were made by succeeding priests. The transept was added in 1835 under Padre Francisco Valencia. The two lateral aisles together with the media naranja dome were added when Padre Raimundo Cueto assumed the post of minister of Malabon in 1854. This was done in collaboration with architects Vina and Urquiza. In 1861, construction of the Parthenon-like facade and the twin towers began under the direction of Luciano Oliver and supervision of parish priest Padre Martin Ruiz. The structure destroyed by a fire in 1898. During World War II, San Bartolome Church suffered heavy damages and restoration began only in 1951 under the secular priest Father Trinidad. In 1958, Father Reyes took on the task of repairing the dome, transept, main altar, and the belfry. San Bartolome Church now has seven bells, two of which are dedicated to Santa Rita and one to San Bartolome. One bell has Father Guillermo Diaz's name inscribed on it. Father Diaz, OSA, was minister of Tambobong from 1881 to 1885. In celebration of the church's 400th anniversary, the Philippine Postal Corporation issued a limited edition stamp designed by Victorino Serevo. The stamp measures 80mm by 30mm and bears the image of St. Bartholome alongside the old Malabon Church. Architecture San Bartolome Church's protruding triangular pediment, supported by the colonnade of the facade, bears the Augustinian symbol and the year 1861. The facade features eight imposing Ionic columns reminiscent of a Greco-Roman temple. Measuring 70.14 meters (230.1 ft) by 25.05 meters (82.2 ft), the church has a central nave and two aisles, transept, and a dome in the media naranja or barrel vault style which is cupped by a campanile. The main entrance to the church is a Jubilee door decorated with wood carvings. Numerous paintings framed with gold leaf line the church ceiling. A simple yet elegant retablo can be found in the sanctuary where the image of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle is surrounded by the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary above, the tabernacle below, and St. Augustine and St. Nicholas de Tolentine on both sides. The writer I.V. Mallari, a native of Malabon, writes that the church is "one of the most beautiful examples of ecclesiastical architecture that Spain has left this country."'

Pililla Wind Farm

The "Pililla, Rizal" Wind Energy Service Contract granted to Alternergy Philippine Holdings Corporation (APHC) covers an area of 4,515 hectares under Department of Energy WESC NO. 2009-09-018. This Wind Energy Service Contract (WESC) has two phases, Pililla Wind Power Project under WESC NO. 2009-09-018-AF1 and the Mt. Sembrano Wind Power Project under WESC NO. 2009-09-018-AP2. Background In December 2008, Alternergy Philippine Holdings Corporation (APHC) was awarded by the Department of Energy (DOE) the exclusive right to develop wind power projects in 3 locations: Pililla in Rizal, Abra de Ilog in Occidental Mindoro, and Kalayaan, Laguna. These locations were among those identified under the Philippine Wind Atlas as potential sites for wind farms due to good to excellent wind resources. APHC was subsequently awarded additional wind energy service contracts in 3 other locations in 2009. APHC is committed to implementing the wind projects if the wind measurements and site-specific studies demonstrate that the power plants are commercially viable. Phase 1 of this project is a wind farm in Barangay Halayhayin in Pililla, Rizal, Philippines. The wind farm is being undertaken by Alternergy Wind One Corporation. The total cost for the construction of the wind farm is US$177.9 million. The project consists of 27 wind turbine generators grouped into three clusters with an aggregate capacity of 54 megawatts (MW). The said project, after completion, will interconnect to Meralco's Malaya-Teresa 115 kilovolts (kV) transmission line located just 10 kilometers from the project site. Phase 2 located in Pililla, Rizal and Mabitac, Laguna was not initially included by Alternergy Philippine Holdings Corporation (APHC) in the Technical Assistance (TA) from the Asian Development Bank. A minor change in the ADB TA implementation was approved in February 2013 to prioritize the development of the Pililla, Rizal wind farm site and expand the study to Pililla Stage 2, which covers the southern portion of the area, as initial findings showed certain limitations in wind resource and constructability in the Laguna and Occidental Mindoro sites. Construction of a wind power project in Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro, in particular, is not feasible until either the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) or the Philippine government has installed a submarine cable connecting Mindoro and Luzon. Based on the initial findings, further studies on the Laguna and Mindoro sites were discontinued; unutilized TA budget for these sites was reallocated instead to fund the study for Pililla Stage 2. The projected cost for Phase 2 is Php 7.056 Billion and its planned output is 72 megawatts (MW). References

Philippine Research Reactor-1

The Philippine Research Reactor-1 (PRR-1) is a research reactor that is owned and maintained by the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) in Quezon City, Philippines. The PRR-1 is the first nuclear reactor and the only operating nuclear facility in the Philippines. The PRR-1 initially operated as a critical reactor from 1963 to 1988 and the facility became dormant for 34 years. A new subcritical reactor, the Subcritical Assembly for Training, Education, and Research (SATER), was set up within the facility which was first loaded with nuclear rods in June 2022. History The Philippine Research Reactor-1 was built under the Atoms for Peace nuclear research exchange program of the United States. The reactor which had its first criticality on August 26, 1963, was built by U.S. firm General Atomics and was originally a 1 MW MTR-type open pool general-purpose reactor. It was successfully operated from 1964 to 1984 and was utilized for training and research in nuclear science as well as for isotope production. In 1984, the Philippine Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC; then name of the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI)) decided to convert and upgrade the reactor into a 3 MW TRIGA Mark III reactor. The converted reactor achieved criticality in April 1988. The converted PRR-1 TRIGA reactor used low-enriched uranium instead of highly enriched uranium. After its conversion, technical and administrative problems rendered the facility inoperable, which resulted in its extended shutdown. In 2005, it was initially decided that the reactor would be decommissioned. The PNRI with the help of the International Atomic Energy Agency set up a new subcritical reactor with zero-power configuration, the Subcritical Assembly for Training, Education, and Research (SATER) facility. The SATER project was conceptualized in 2014, but actual work on it only began in 2017. After 34 years of the PRR-1 being left unused, the commissioning process of the SATER began when it was loaded with 44 nuclear rods on June 20, 2022. SATER is meant as a training reactor for research reactor operators, regulators and users. The SATER is expected to be fully operational by 2023.

MacArthur Bridge (Manila)

The MacArthur Bridge is a road bridge crossing the Pasig River between Padre Burgos Avenue in Ermita and the intersection of Plaza Santa Cruz Road, Carriedo Street, Palanca Street, and Escolta Street in Santa Cruz. It replaced the Santa Cruz Bridge that was destroyed during World War II. The bridge is named after General Douglas MacArthur, whose military operations led to the liberation of the Philippines during World War II. History The MacArthur Bridge replaced the older Santa Cruz Bridge, which was bombed when the Japanese retreated during the Battle of Manila. The bridge was constructed after the war and opened in 1952. Use on the procession of the Black Nazarene The bridge was originally part of the procession route during the Feast of the Black Nazarene every January 9 from 2007 to 2013. However, after the Department of Public Works and Highways declared the bridge unstable and deemed it insufficient to carry millions of devotees, the processions were rerouted to the adjacent Jones Bridge. Douglas MacArthur monument A monument to Douglas MacArthur stood at the foot of the south end of the bridge. The monument first stood on the façade of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila before it was moved into its present location after 1997.
