DBP lends Olongapo P400M to set up landfills

Development Bank of the Philippines has granted a P400 million loan to Olongapo City to fund landfill development as the state-owned bank pursues its environmental preservation thrust.

The loan will be used by the local government of Olongapo to acquire recovery facilities and improve garbage collection.

The loan will also fund the design and construction of Olongapo City’s Cabalan sanitary landfill.
DBP president Francisco del Rosario said the project aims to promote a healthier environment and better waste segregation.

"This sound, environmental project will provide a legally and environmentally acceptable waste disposal site for the residents of the city, the businesses in SBMA (Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority) and for nearby municipalities," Del Rosario said.

He said when the sanitary landfill becomes operational, other local government units, including the provinces of Bataan, Pampanga and Zambales, may also benefit from the project.

The project is in line with the governments’ push to implement RA 9003 or the Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, which mandates all local government units to establish and develop sanitary landfills to enhance environmental protection and maintain ecological balance.

Phase 1 of the landfill operation is expected to bring in an average of P104 million a year additional income for the local government units from tipping fees and increases in local fees.

In 2008, the DBP also approved a loan to the Olongapo city government for the purchase of 7,000 pieces of mobile garbage bins as temporary storage for uncollected waste.

The city also bought seven garbage truck compactors to collect garbage from its 17 barangays. malaya.com.ph

SBMA addresses pollution

SUBIC Bay Freeport -- “Through a resolution, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority Board of Directors will declare whether or not the project is environmentally sensitive, or is in compliance with the parameters as determined to be within the acceptable levels of emissions.”

SBMA Chairman Roberto Garcia said SBMA aims to implement stricter standards to safeguard the Subic Bay Freeport from pollution.

The action ensures that all projects, which are to be built inside the freeport zone, particularly environmentally sensitive projects (ESPs), are acceptable to various stakeholders.

ESPs are projects that are determined to emit pollutants, which may have a potential impact on the natural resources, and the health of the people living or working in the area.

These pollutants include emissions, effluents, sound or visual from the proposed project that may deteriorate the health of the people, the forests and the animals living there, the bay waters, creeks, ground water and air, among others.

Under this system, if the proposed project is considered an ESP, the SBMA Ecology Center will independently verify all of the project pollutants, the natural resource impacts, and extent of the proponent’s mitigating measures. All data gathered will be presented to the SBMA Board.

Stakeholder groups, consisting of representatives or officers of housing areas, freeport workers’ associations, and the indigenous people’s tribal council will be invited to public consultations on ESPs where inputs about the results of the verification process will be presented.

Based on the evaluation “of the totality of acceptability ratings from the various stakeholders of the Freeport,” the SBMA Board shall declare whether or not the project is socially acceptable.

In any case where the project is declared not socially acceptable, the proponents will be advised to redesign the project or its mitigating measures to meet a level acceptable to stakeholders.

Meanwhile, its permit to operate will be withheld. - Journal.com.ph by :

SBMA bids to make Subic Bay Asia's ore transshipment hub

The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) and Vale International, SA are aiming to make this premier Freeport into an Asian transshipment hub for iron ore.

In a project approved by the SBMA Board of Directors, Brazillian company Vale International proposed to carry out an iron ore transshipment operation from its Valemax mother vessel to smaller daughter vessels, or feeders, which are either Panamax or Capesize types, by using a purposely-designed floating terminal to be located in Subic Bay.

Lawyer Redentor Tuazon, SBMA deputy administrator for operations, said that the proposed transshipment hub will be the biggest in the world in terms of operations.

“The mother vessels that they use have a gross register tonnage (GRT) of 400,000 GRT,” Tuazon explained. “These are ultra large carriers that they call Valemax. They are the biggest in their class, the biggest in the world in operations, and they will use Subic Bay Freeport as the hub in Asia,” he said.

Tuazon also said that the Vale group decided to build a hub in Subic because it will be cost-effective to do so.

“The rationale for the whole project is economies of scale. You have big ships that will transfer the iron ore to two or three smaller vessels, so that the smaller ports in China will be able to accommodate them,” he said.

Tuazon also stressed that the project gives importance to safety standards, and that a hazard and operability (HAZOP) study has been conducted to ensure safety.

He also noted that all of the vessels to be used are insured and are covered with protection and indemnity insurance.

Moreover, Tuazon said that this project will be highly beneficial to Subic, adding that the Freeport will earn about R100 million from the project annually.

“Of course, Subic will be on the map in terms of floating terminal operations, considering the reputation of Vale as one of the biggest mining firms in the world,” he added.

Tuazon also said that the Vale group is looking into the possibility of building an onshore site.

“They are exploring if they can have a facility onshore where they can store minerals like coal—that is still being explored if it’s feasible. But the important thing is that this is Vale Mining, one of the biggest mining companies in the world and that they decided to come here,” he said. (MB.com.ph - By JONAS REYES With a report from Franco G. Regala)
"Vale Brasil", is the first of seven ore carriers ordered by Vale from the South Korean shipyard in an investment totaling $748 million. Vale said it has also ordered 12 very large ore carriers, each with capacity of 400,000 tons, from the Rongsheng Shipbuilding and Heavy Industries shipyard in China. These vessels, being built at the Chinese shipyard, represent a total investment of US$1.6 billion.

The Valemax vessels (Classification: Ore Carrier) are 360 metres long, breadth is 65 metres and from keel to mast they measure 56 meters

The Valemax vessels have seven cargo holds and each can carry almost as much iron ore as a small Panamax carrier

With a deadweight tonnage of 400,000 tons, a fully laden Valemax vessel is carrying as much iron ore as around 11,150 trucks

With a draft of 23 meters, Valemax is limited only to a few deepwater ports in Brazil, Europe and China.

Brazil’s Vale goes to Subic

by Cecille Garcia - manilastandardtoday.com

SUBIC BAY FREEPORT—Vale International S.A., a unit of Vale S.A., the world’s largest iron ore producer and the second-largest mining company, plans to operate a transshipment hub here to serve the Asia-Pacific region.

The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority said its board approved an investment agreement for Vale to operate an ore transshipment business in the free port. Vale plans to unload ore from its Valemax mother vessel to smaller daughter vessels, or feeders, which are either Panamax or Capesize types, through a purposely-designed floating terminal in Subic Bay.

SBMA deputy administrator for operations Redentor Tuazon said the proposed transshipment hub would be the biggest in the world in terms of capacity.

“The mother vessels that they use have a gross register tonnage of 400,000 GRT,” Tuazon said. “These are ultra large carriers that they call Valemax. They are the biggest in their class, the biggest in the world in operations, and they will use Subic Bay Freeport as the hub in Asia,” he said.

Tuazon said the Vale group found the Subic operations cheap.

“The rationale for the whole project is economies of scale. You have big ships that will transfer the iron ore to two or three smaller vessels, so that the smaller ports in China will be able to accommodate them,” he said.

Tuazon said the project would give the free port annual earnings of about P100 million.

“Subic will be on the map in terms of floating terminal operations, considering the reputation of Vale as one of the biggest mining firms in the world,” he said.

Tuazon also said the Vale group was also looking into the possibility of building an onshore site.

“They are exploring if they can have a facility onshore where they can store minerals like coal—that is still being explored if it’s feasible. But the important thing is that this is Vale Mining, one of the biggest mining companies in the world and that they decided to come here,” he said.

SBMA seaport manager Perfecto Pascual said the Vale group would soon begin operations to distribute iron ore to northeast Asian countries, including China, the biggest user in the world.

“The Vale group will start operations in October and that will be a great revenue earner for us since they will be bringing in big ships and the floating storage ship that will be permanently stationed here in Subic,” Pascual said.

He added the SBMA could expect a large volume of ships arriving in the last quarter of the year.

SBMA board to impose limit on environmentally sensitive projects

“Through a board resolution, the (Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority) Board of Directors will declare whether or not the project is environmentally sensitive, or is in compliance within the parameters of acceptable levels of emissions.”

This sums up the decision of the board, SBMA chairman Roberto Garcia said, as SBMA aims to implement stricter standards to safeguard the Subic Bay Freeport from pollution.

The action ensures that all projects, which are to be built inside the free port zone, particularly environmentally sensitive projects (ESPs), are acceptable to various stakeholders.

ESPs are projects that are determined to emit pollutants, which may have a potential impact on the natural resources, and the health of the people living or working in the area.

These pollutants include emissions, effluents, sound or visual from the proposed project that may deteriorate the health of the people, the forests and the animals living there, the bay waters, creeks, ground water, and air, among others.

Under this system, if the proposed project is considered an ESP, the SBMA Ecology Center will independently verify all of the project pollutants, the natural resource impacts, and extent of the proponent’s mitigating measures. All data gathered will be presented to the SBMA Board.

Stakeholder groups, consisting of representatives or officers of housing areas, Freeport workers’ associations, and the indigenous people’s tribal council will be invited to public consultations on ESPs where inputs about the results of the verification process will be presented.

Based on the evaluation “of the totality of acceptability ratings from the various stakeholders of the Freeport,” the SBMA Board shall declare whether or not the project is socially acceptable.

In any case where the project is declared not socially acceptable, the proponents will be advised to redesign the project or its mitigating measures to meet a level acceptable to stakeholders. Meanwhile, its permit to operate will be withheld.

“This way, the stakeholders are given a sense of participation in truly preserving the unique environmental feature of the Freeport, which is one of the major attractions of Subic’s tourism industry,” Garcia said.

The law that created the Freeport and the SBMA mandates the latter to protect, maintain, and develop the virgin forests into a national park by implementing the rules and regulation of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

The issuance of stricter standards, through the implementation of a policy on ESPs, will help the SBMA in realizing its mandates of protecting and preserving the environment.(by Allen M. Villa-PIA 3/SBMA PRD)

Subic Coal Plant Proponents explains project to Olongapo leaders

RP Energy showed up in the Olongapo City Department Head's meeting yesterday to shed light on the proposed coal-fired power plant project. City Councilors and Barangay Captains are also present in the meeting.

Mayor Gordon showed slides of the beautiful Olongapo, a video of Pres. Clinton asserting the preservation of Subic's prestine environment, and made it very clear to the presentors that Olongapo City opposes the coal plant project in Subic Bay.

Nonetheless, RP Energy was allowed time to explain, for the city's leaders to have the chance to ask questions and let the project proponents hear the oppositor's concerns.

City Administrator Ferdie Magrata, Dr. Art Mendoza, Councilor Perez, Ed Piano and more than a dozen more residents were able to say their piece and ask questions.
Magrata asked if its true that RP Energy had already started the construction and if indeed this truly is a "done deal" as national government officials are saying... to which RP Energy officials replied in the positive. "By law, the concurence of Olongapo City is not required, but we are here because we also wanted your support and we are mandated to inform the people of the on-going project."

Most noteworthy in yesterday's presentation is the revelation that Zambales Gov. Ebdane, Subic Mayor Khonghun, the Captain of Cawag, DENR, PENRO, CENRO, EMB, the Provincial Fisheries Council have already signed a Memorandum of Agreement as members of the monitoring team with SBMA and RP Energy pertaining to the coal plant project.

172 luxury vehicles missing from Subic

More than a hundred luxury vehicles are “missing” from the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, and the government could be losing billions of pesos from duties that should have been paid for their entry into the country.

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is conducting an inventory of vehicles that are supposed to be confined within the zone but are apparently no longer in the area and cannot be accounted for.

Based on LTO records, there are at least 172 vehicles from Subic that have been issued warrants for seizure and detention (WSD) by the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA).

In an interview last week, LTO chief Virginia Torres said going after the vehicles would be tedious, with almost no records of how the vehicles were taken out of the zone and their current whereabouts.

Among the brands on the list provided by the LTO were Mercedes Benz, Chrysler, Land Rover, BMW, Volvo, Range Rover and Dodge Colt.

“We are still in the data gathering phase. There are some irregularities here,” Torres said.

The probe was prompted by an order from President Aquino for an accounting of vehicles with special plates – those with diplomatic plates and those used within special economic zones.

Both types of vehicles are exempt from registration and are brought into the country duty-free.

But in the case of those for use in economic zones, they should be used just within the confines of the zones they are assigned to.

In the case of vehicles assigned with diplomatic plates, clearances should be secured from the concerned embassies, the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Finance before they could be resold and registered as private vehicles.

The same is true for those assigned to “locators” or companies within the economic zones only they should secure clearances from the administrator of the zone they are registered with.

If the vehicles assigned to the economic zones would go out, they should first secure clearances from the zone administrator and be back after a certain number of days.

Dennis Cerdenia, special investigator of the LTO’s Internal Investigation Division, said a WSD is issued for a vehicle to be commanded to be brought back to the zone it is assigned to.

“If and when their owners want these vehicles converted into and registered as private cars, their owners should pay the duties required for those vehicles brought from abroad,” Cerdenia said.

But Torres said that in the case of those from Subic, they apparently have remained unaccounted for.

“There is a report that there was a warrant of seizure and detention orders from the BOC (Bureau of Customs) but they (vehicles) have not been returned,” she said.

According to Cerdenia, the list provided by the BOC does not mention when these questioned vehicles were brought out.

“It could amount to billions of pesos (in unpaid duties). It is quite difficult to make an exact valuation of these vehicles because their status of registration will determine whether duties will have to be paid,” he said.

Based on the list of Subic “locators,” some of those issued with WSDs have also listed new private plates, indicating that they have been converted into private vehicles.

It was not clear why these vehicles were included in the list but Cerdenia admitted there are cases where WSDs could also apply to converted vehicles that were “under-valuated” or those duties paid were lower and when the owner should pay the balance.

He said it could also be that the vehicles have actually been converted into privately owned vehicles with the correct amount of duties paid but the records have not been updated.

“The concern of the LTO here is the legality of their registration,” Cerdenia said, citing the possibility that some of these vehicles could be used in illegal activities with no or unclear record of vehicle registration.

Apart from those in Subic, the LTO is also conducting an inventory of vehicles with diplomatic plates and those under the administration of the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority. By Reinir Padua (The Philippine Star)

Vintage bomb found by Zambales fishermen

MASINLOC, Zambales -- After one year in their possession, three fishermen turned over a vintage bomb they fished out in Sitio Binomatalan, Sta. Cruz, Zambales.

A report reaching the office of Zambales police director Senior Supt. Francisco Santiago, Jr. said the vintage bomb is 2.5 meters long, 45 cetemeters wide and weighing 700 kilos.

The bomb was found near the island of Hermana Mayor by fishermen Ernesto Torres Jr, 40, and brothers Benjie, 27, and Bernard Enerva, 29, both of Masinloc.

Bomb specialists from Camp Olivas, City of San Fernando, Pampanga, certified that the bomb might be exploded after they found the bomb detonating cord still intact that may create a 50-meter crater.

The bomb found 20 feet under the sea off the island of Hermana Mayor was placed under the custody of a bomb specialist and will be disposed at Crow Valley in Capas, Tarlac. by : Mamer Bañez - journal.com.ph

2 vessels inaugurated in Subic

PH is world’s 4th leading country in shipbuilding

Two cargo vessels were blessed and inaugurated at the Hanjin Heavy Industries on Saturday.

The MV Star Borealis and the MV Star Polaris.

Some 20,000 Filipino workers were involved in the assembly of the two vessels in the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) shipyard.

Korean company Hanjin Heavy Industries said the assembly was finished in record time.

Last year, they were able to produce 10 ships, helping put the Philippines on the map as the 4th leading country in shipbuilding in the world.

Hanjin believes the industry can go further in the country.

“[Hanjin] is one of the biggest foreign investors sa atin ngayon e. Nagpasok na ito ng $1.6 billion,” said SBMA Chairman Roberto Garcia.

They intend to expand their operations as the SBMA has already reserved 200 hectares for added facilities.

“Filipino workers’ skill is very much upgraded,” said Taek Kyun Yoo, managing director, external trade team of Hanjin Heavy Industries.

While Hanjin has encountered a number of deadly accidents in the past, the company said they have been more careful since, adding that there were no mishaps in making the two new ships.
“We strictly comply with all the safety rules,” said Yoo.

Workers are also made to undergo a 3-month training course before starting work to avoid accidents.

If the expansion of Hanjin pushes through, the country's ranking in the world's leading shipbuilders might even go higher. by Niko Baua, ABS-CBN News

DBP earmarked P383.3M for the development of Olongapo's Sanitary Landfill


Olongapo City will finally have its own Sanitary Landfill.

A loan Signing Ceremony was held at City Hall on Wednesday, 7 September 2011, between City Officials led by Mayor James Gordon, Jr. and the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) led by Executive Vice President Jesus S. Guevarra II.

Earlier, DBP Sr. Asst. Vice President Rebecca G. Reyes informed Mayor Gordon, in a letter, that the bank has approved the city's loan application for P383.30M, which shall be broken down, as follows: P195.50M for Landfill Development & Construction; P31M for Sanitary Landfill Equipment; P20M for Material Recovery Facility (MRF) Composting Facility; P30M for MRF Composting Equipment; and, P106M for purchase of 6,500 Mobile Garbage Bins.

According to Reyes, the funds will be available within 360 days upon perfection of loan documents.

Republic Act 9003 has banned open dump sites in the country since 2005 and the Department of Environment & Natural Resources (DENR) has issued closure orders on all local government units (LGU). To date, however, only a handful of LGUs have their own Sanitary Land Fills.

‘GAPO GOES FOR DELINQUENCY REPORTING IN PNP

Olongapo City Mayor James “Bong” Gordon, Jr. is encouraging residents to use the Delinquency Reporting (DR) System in the Philippine National Police (PNP) to weed out misfits in the police force.

“The DR System is a preventive measure designed to lessen the cases of misdemeanors of PNP personnel by instituting on the spot corrections thereby eliminating or at least mitigating the causes of wrongdoings and to remind and instill in all PNP members the observance of proper decorum at all times,” according to Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary and NAPOLCOM Chairman Jesse M. Robredo.

PNP City Director PS/Insp. Christopher Tambungan said PNP memorandum circular no. 2010-003 states that “the City Mayor or his authorized representative shall administer the community service based on the monthly report of demerits by the Chief of Municipality or City Police Stations of Police Districts Offices.

Infractions by police officers, such as improper wear of uniform, tardiness, smoking in unauthorized area, discourtesy to Officers and National Colors, violation of traffic rules, leaving and dozing on post, use of profanity or insulting languages or exhibit rudeness in the public, failure to initiate action on complaints and the sort, may be reported to the nearest precinct using the DR Form.

Each in fraction corresponds to certain counts of demerits depending on the grounds. The allowable demerits should not be greater than fifteen (15) demerits in a month or ninety (90) demerits in one semester. The offending police officer will be given an hour of Community Service when he/she incur demerits greater than the limit.

However, the Community Service may or may not be limited in terms of tree-planting, clean-up drives, information dissemination campaigns and other vital and priority programs of the government, administered only during rest days and in athletic uniform.

DECLOGGING OPERATIONS IN OLONGAPO

The declogging of Barretto Creek along Villas Lane and Columban College has been completed with piles of clogged soil and garbage finally removed.

According to the report of the Construction and Maintenance Division of the City Engineering Office (CEO), desilting operations at Sta. Rita River and Kalaklan River have also been completed earlier.

“Lupa, mga bato at samu’t saring basura ang tinanggal sa mga ito upang magkaroon ng espasyo para sa pagdaloy ng tubig,” CEO head Engr. Roberto Alvarez stated.

It can be recalled that the declogging of drainages and desilting of rivers started early January of this year in preparation for the rainy season to abet flooding in the city.

“Patuloy pa rin nating gagawin ang declogging at desilting project upang tuluyang maiwasan ang pagbaha lalo na sa mga low-lying areas ng lungsod,” remarked Mayor James “Bong” Gordon Jr., “Makakatulong naman ang bawat isa sa paraan ng proper waste disposal. Iwasan natin ang pagtatapon ng basura sa mga kanal at ilog nang hindi ito bumara at magdulot ng pagbaha.”
