DAVAO CITY – A mix of “iconic” medium and high-rise buildings, inspired by some exotic and endemic plants of Mindanao, will rise within the 9.6-hectare property of the Victoria Plaza mall complex, an official of the Hong Kong-based design company said.
Walter V. Melicor, chief financial officer of the Elements Habitare, said that the development would have five phases.
The Lim family, which operates the homegrown New City Commercial Corporation (NCCC), took over the mall management on Wednesday after announcing its acquisition on March 12 at an undisclosed amount.
He discussed that the first two phases would have five-star hotel, condominium, and serviced apartments; a twin-tower in phase 3; NCCC headquarters in phase 4; and four-story mall in phase 5.
The designs of the most iconic components of the 9.6-hectare development, such as twin-tower, NCCC corporate building, and mall took inspiration from the exotic plants of Mindanao, according to Melicor.
He said the design of the twin tower would be inspired by the pitcher plant, a carnivorous plant endemic to Mt. Hamiguitan, Davao Oriental province; the corporate building by the exotic mangosteen fruit; and the mall by the petals of the waling-waling plant endemic to Mindanao.
Melicor’s team designed some of the world’s iconic buildings, among them Marina Bay Sands of Singapore, Galaxy Macau, a casino resort in Macau, and Okada Manila, a luxury hotel casino in the Philippines.
Melicor said the Lim family would decide if it wants to retain the old structure of the mall, but added the current conceptual design might require a total demolition of the old structure to give way for the construction of the new mall.
He said the current structure might not support the proposed expansion of the mall.
“We are moving forward to the future. The sentimentality will always be there, in the place but not in the building. I think the building — we have to enhance and make it iconic building at par with the world,” he said.
But NCCC President Sharlene A. Lim assured the old mall building would be retained, and that it would only need a facelift.
She said the company plans to proceed with a phase-by-phase development of the old Victoria Plaza Mall as it did for its NCCC Mall in Maa before a massive fire destroyed it on December 23, 2017. The fire incident killed the mall’s key custodian and 37 call center agents of Survey Sampling International (SSI).
Lim added the company plans to develop dilapidated cinemas into a family entertainment center, where the restaurants located at the periphery of the mall’s parking space will be relocated.
The mall tenants, including ukay-ukay vendors, would be provided a space, she said.
She said NCCC Department Store and Supermarket would eventually take over the department and supermarket of the Victoria Plaza.
She said the Victoria Plaza has over 300 tenants at present.
Inaugurated on March 16, 1993, the Davao Sunrise Investment & Development Corporation of the Limso family previously managed the Victoria Plaza, a premier mall of the Dabawenyos in the 1990s.
On the start of the development, Lim added her family plans to “get this running sooner.”
She said NCCC welcomes players to invest in the mixed-use development.

SWIPING THROUGH THE ’10S: 2010
THE START of the 2010s mark the unfolding of influence of Facebook and Twitter into our daily lives while the governments of the world are constantly planning and monitoring their plan of recovery from the Great Recession.
The viral video of the year is the Double Rainbow while in the middle of the year, the 2204355 meme (the gif of a KFC guy superimposed over the rainbow background to the tune of the chiptune of ALF theme). Rage comics, with the signature troll face (U Mad?), remains the mainstream funny of the cyberspace.
Jejemon is our own response of embracing the new culture — from text messaging, fashion and even on our media (Eugene Domingo’s JejeMom and Dolphy’s Father Jejemon). This trend seems to be a fad as the style is discouraged by our Department of Education.
The most discussed teleserye of that year is Agua Bendita (ABS-CBN) as Bruno Mars stands on his own musical path.
But how did the year 2010 unfold in the Philippines (including media)?
January 7: Rosanna Roces’ live remarks against teachers triggers MTRCB’s suspension of then-daily competition show Showtime (ABS-CBN).
January 12: Haiti rocks a 7.0-magnitude earthquake, killing hundreds of thousands.
February 13: 22-year-old Melai Cantiveros from General Santos City wins Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up. Her partner in the Bahay ni Kuya, Jason Francisco of Oriental Mindoro, is a finalist.
February 15: MTV Philippines ends with the final music video of The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star” (ironically, the first music video in the United States, the country of origin, in 1981).
February 21: Sarah Lahbati and Steven Silva become the ultimate survivors of Starstruck V (GMA).
February 27: Chile rocks an 8.8-magnitude quake that triggers a tsunami, killing at least 525.
February 28: SOP (GMA) bows out after 13 years on the air as a Sunday variety noontime show. Its replacement, Party Pilipinas, premieres in a month.
March 28: Aside from Party Pilipinas, Pepito Manaloto also premiere on GMA. The premise of the sitcom focuses on the titular character (played by Michael V) on the change of life after winning P 700 million. In real life, the Grand Lotto jackpot prize of P 741.1 million becomes the largest jackpot to date in PCSO’s history and will be taken home by a balikbayan on November 29. The winning ticket is purchased in Olongapo City and the record remains unbroken until the next eight years.
April 4: After lawsuit by GMA over the constitutionality of ownership and losses under Media Prima, TV5 becomes part of Manny V. Pangilinan’s MediaQuest and brands as the “Kapatid” Network.
April 14: Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupts in Iceland.
April 20: The Deepwater Horizon oil drilling platform (owned by BP) explodes and spills over the Gulf of Mexico, damaging the aquatic fauna in the Deep South coastline.
May 10: The first automated elections take place where outgoing president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo wins as a congresswoman in Pampanga's second district and Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III succeeds with the highest vote share of 42.1%. Aside from COMELEC’s faster and better voting technology, the Big 3 networks also upgrade their own coverage graphics. ABS-CBN and TV5 employ ORAD while GMA uses VizRT.
June 13: Jovit Baldivino becomes the first Pilipinas Got Talent (ABS-CBN) winner.
mid-June to mid-July: World Cup in South Africa. While the Philippine broadcaster is Studio 23 and Balls, Filipino sports fans generally thinks that football is not a big deal until six months later. Vuvuzelas blow all the rage and Paul the Octopus in the limelight in predicting the winners. In the finals, Spain beats the Netherlands, 1-0.
June 29: Eat Bulaga!’s Juan for All, All for Juan introduces the Sugod Bahay portion and becomes a daily permanent staple.
June 30: Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III takes oath as the 15th President of the Philippines at the Quirino Grandstand. The oath is administered by Associate Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales (the future Ombudsman) instead of Chief Justice Renato Corona.
July 2: Daisy Siete, the dessert of Eat Bulaga!’s two-course meal, wraps up after seven years with 26 seasons.
July 25: WikiLeaks leak over 90,000 internal reports about the War in Afghanistan.
July 30: After five years of scandals of the show (ULTRA stampede, Hello Pappy and the inset of the funeral) and personal defeat (i.e. endorsing defeated presidential candidate Manny Villar), Wowowee pulls the plug. Ten days later, Willie Revillame unilaterally quits ABS-CBN for not demanding the removal of DZMM radio host Jobert Sucaldito.
August 5: In Chile, 33 miners are trapped in and are to be rescued successfully in 69 days with a specially built capsule for an individual.

August 23: Hostage crisis in Luneta last about half a day, killing eight Hong Kong tourists and the perpetrator, dismissed police officer Rolando Mendoza. During the early evening newscast, reactions from news anchors are uttered during the botched standoff by the SWAT team. Post-newscast primetime block begins after the crisis about past 9 p.m.
August 24: Venus Raj, the Philippine contingent for Miss Universe, lands 4th Runner Up with the signature fumble of “Major Major” during the Question and Answer portion.
September 11: Wansapanataym is revived on ABS-CBN and the fantasy anthology format with moral lesson from its original iteration in 1997 is maintained but it will eventually deviate.
September 26: A grenade bombing rocks De La Salle University in Taft, Manila on the last Sunday of the Bar Examination. This is the last examination before they move to the University of Santo Tomas.
September 30: Intramuros tour guide Carlos Celdran pulls a stunt during the mass at the Manila Cathedral, raising the placard “Damaso” over the bishops’ stance against contraception.
October 23: Revillame returns to the small screen on TV5 with Willing Willie. About a bit more than two weeks later (November 8), Valenzuela City councilor and former Presidential girlfriend Shalani Soledad becomes his co-host, clashing the early evening newscast of Willie’s former employers.

Senate sends 2019 budget to Duterte
By Camille A. Aguinaldo
Reporter
THE BICAMERAL DEADLOCK over this year’s P3.757-trillion national budget — which threatened to drag overall economic growth — ended on Tuesday as Senate President Vicente C. Sotto III announced that he has signed, with “reservations,” and transmitted the spending plan to Malacañang.
“We are informing that I already signed the budget… it is now going to be an enrolled bill; we sent it to the President but I placed my reservations on the signature. I have incorporated a note that says my signature is in reference to my attached annotation,” he told reporters in a press briefing at his Senate office.
His reservations — in a note attached to the measure — focused on post-ratification changes made by the House of Representatives.
Sought for comment, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto M. Pernia replied in a mobile phone message: “It looks like the long delay did not result in a major change in the budget — which time could have been used by the President to consider needed revisions, e.g., for line budget item vetoes.”
“Meanwhile, Q1 growth rate already likely to be trimmed.”
The inter-agency Development Budget Coordination Committee the other week slashed its 2019 gross domestic product growth forecast to 6-7% from 7-8% originally as the government operates on a reenacted budget, while the National Economic and Development Authority — which Mr. Pernia heads as director-general — has estimated separately that operating on a reenacted budget until April would cut full-year growth to 6.1-6.3%.
The government had been banking on front-loading infrastructure work this quarter, ahead of the 45-day ban on public works ahead of the May 13 midterm elections and weather disturbances next semester. The reenacted national budget left new projects unfunded.
Mr. Sotto said the Senate has transmitted to Malacañang the version of the national budget with the changes made by the House of Representatives, leaving President Rodrigo R. Duterte to decide on the provisions questioned by senators.
Presidential Spokesperson Salvador S. Panelo said in a statement that Mr. Duterte would scrutinize the national budget before signing it.
“We assure our people that the President will go over the enrolled bill, scrutinize it and sign it should the same be in accordance with our Constitution and the laws,” Mr. Panelo said. “As we approach the midpoint of the Duterte administration, we remain determined to build on the significant gains that we have started in the first two-and-a-half years and continue to stay on the right track to deliver real and lasting change to our people.”
Asked by reporters if Mr. Duterte would the sign the national budget with the House’s questioned changes, Mr. Panelo said, “It would depend on him. If he feels it’s not in violation with the Constitution, he can sign it immediately.”
“Knowing the President, he will act on it immediately because we need a new budget… Maybe in a few days,” he added.
In his note attached to the national budget transmitted to Malacañang, Mr. Sotto said his signature on the measure was limited to the items approved by the Senate and House in the bicameral conference committee and subsequently ratified.
“In particular, it is my view that it is unconstitutional that P75 billion worth of programs/projects under the Local Infrastructure Program of the Department of Public Works and Highways was funded through internal realignments after the Bicameral Conference Committee Report was ratified,” the Senate leader stated in his note.
He said in his note that Mr. Duterte “may wish to consider disapproving” the questionable provisions by vetoing them.
It was the idea of the Senate Minority Leader Franklin M. Drilon for Mr. Sotto to sign the national budget and to attach his reservations, according to Senator Panfilo M. Lacson in the same briefing.
“What we have done is propose this language to the Senate President, Senator (Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel F.) Zubiri, Senator Lacson, Senator (Loren B.) Legarda and (Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph G.) Recto in order that we maintain our position that these insertions are unconstitutional, but at the same time, not prejudice national interests by holding on to the unsigned General Appropriations Bill,” Mr. Drilon told reporters in the press briefing.
“We maintain the view that this is unconstitutional but we must find a solution to the impasse in the budget and serve the interest of the nation.”
Messrs. Lacson and Sotto added that they have notified the House and the Executive Department by relaying the information to San Juan City Rep. Ronaldo B. Zamora and to Executive Secretary Salvador C. Medialdea prior to the transmittal of the national budget to Malacañang.

‘You shall return’
“The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.” — Hubert H. Humphrey
It was an intimate birthday dinner that we had recently for my beautiful editor Joanne Rae Ramirez at the elegant Champagne Room of the Manila Hotel. The party, hosted by the country’s only floral architect and style director of the hotel Rachy Cuna, was overflowing with lively conversations.
The night overflowed, too, with good wine that complemented a sumptuous fare consisting of melt-in-your-mouth grilled black cod and US prime rib roast. Served also were the freshest Caesar salad with bacon bits and crispy croutons; and yummy French onion soup topped with Gruyere cheese. The Baked Alaska provided the sweet ending.
Guests included ad man Ed Ramirez, Russian Ambassador Igor Khovaev, Czech Ambassador Jana Sediva, Sen. Sonny Angara and wife Tootsy, Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. and wife Louie, Public Works Secretary Mark Villar and wife Justice Undersecretary Emmeline Aglipay-Villar, Camarines Sur Rep. LRay Villafuerte and wife Lara, former Antique governor Sally Perez, STAR’s Büm Tenorio Jr. and your columnist.
“I am honored that you celebrated with me tonight. This is a beautiful celebration of our friendship,” said the grateful celebrator.
Speaking of friendship, Joanne and Rachy share a beautiful friendship that is marked yearly with Rachy giving my lovely boss a birthday party, an endearing tradition that has been observed since 2005.
“Thank you all for coming. And Joanne, you shall return,” Rachy said, using the famous words of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who stayed in Manila Hotel during the war.
With that, the birthday party for Joanne has been set for next year.
Happy birthday, Joanne. Many, many more blessings!

Sotto, Arroyo vow to end budget deadlock soon
SENATE President Vicente Sotto 3rd and House Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on Friday vowed to end the budget deadlock that has pitted the two houses of Congress against each other.
Sotto said the House only needed to submit the measure as approved in February by the bicameral conference committee, which he would then submit to President Rodrigo Duterte for signature next week.
“Leave it as it is, what we ratified and what we agreed upon, [it should] remain in the budget for Public Works and Highways, which is already itemized originally in that state…if this happens, there’s no more problem with the rest of the budget,” the Senate chief said.
Senators claim the House tinkered with the approved budget and moved around some P95 billion in public works funds.
Arroyo said Congress would “end the impasse as soon as possible,” after she instructed a three-man team composed of Representatives Rolando Andaya Jr. of Camarines Sur, Edcel Lagman of Albay and Ronaldo Zamora of San Juan City to negotiate with the Senate.
The Senate panel consists of Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Loren Legarda and Senators Panfilo Lacson and Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan.
Arroyo denied anew her supposed hand in altering the already ratified 2019 national budget.
“We’ll end the impasse as soon as possible. That’s my instruction. I did not micromanage the putting together of the budget. I don’t want to micromanage also their negotiations because the ones who did the budget know what they did and know what their flexibilities are,” Arroyo said.
She initially denied that the House had withdrawn its version of the budget despite confirmation by Zamora on Monday.
But on Wednesday, the House “physically retrieved” its version of the budget it sent to the Senate last March 11 because the refusal of Sotto 3rd to sign the “pork-filled” measure.

Lone district for GenSan seen to spur growth
GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- Residents can expect more developments with President Rodrigo R. Duterte's approval of the law that created a separate legislative or congressional district for this city.
This was according to Mayor Ronnel Rivera, who said Friday the city's lone congressional district complements the administration's initiatives to transform General Santos as one of the country’s premier cities.
Duterte signed on March 11 Republic Act (RA) 11243, which reapportioned the first district of South Cotabato and established a lone legislative district for the city.
“This is another milestone in the long and colorful history of this city that we should cherish. The people of this city have long been asking for this change to come and now it is finally here,” Rivera said in a statement.
He said the city will now have "better representation in the national government" as it moves forward with its goal of being the “economic beacon of South Cotabato.”
Rivera lauded Sen. Emmanuel Pacquiao and South Cotabato 1st District Rep. Pedro Acharon Jr. for pursuing the passage of RA 11243.
The city is currently part of the first legislative district of South Cotabato, along with the municipalities of Tampakan, Polomolok and Tupi. Under the new law, the city will become the third legislative district of the province while the three remaining towns will constitute the first district.
In a press conference on Thursday afternoon, South Cotabato Governor Daisy Avance-Fuentes said the creation of the new legislative district is a huge boost for the province in terms of development.
Fuentes said the three municipalities in the first district will now have bigger budget allocations for development projects.
“While GenSan will become a lone district, it will still remain as the third district of South Cotabato. That’s good for us because it means that its population and area will not be carved out of the province as part of the IRA (Internal Revenue Allotment) consideration,” the governor said.
Fuentes said the coming May 13 elections will be crucial as residents under the present first district will be voting for the “caretaker” of the two legislative areas as mandated by RA 11243.
“Whoever wins as representative of the first district will have three years to manage the congressional allocation for two districts,” she added. (PNA)

General Santos City will soon have its own representative in the House.

Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez told Rappler he "can't say right now" whether the election for the new district will happen on May 13, because "there is a process for that."

Senate President Vicente Sotto III and 10 other senators led the groundbreaking ceremony on Monday for the P8.9-billion new Senate building in Taguig City.
Also present were Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri, Minority Leader Franklin Drilon, Pro-Tempore Ralph Recto, Senators Panfilo Lacson, Sherwin Gatchalian, Nancy Binay, Loren Legarda, Joel Villanueva, Juan Edgardo Angara, and Gregorio Honasan.
Based on the Department of Public Works and Highways evaluation, the construction of the new Senate building will take 40 months, starting this 2019 until 2022.
Architectural firm AECOM Philippines was declared the winner after review and evaluation conducted by the Technical Evaluation Committee, BCDA officials, senators of the 17th Congress, and the Senate community.
AECOM will have the opportunity to undertake the detailed architectural design of the project upon successful selection of the design and build contractor by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for the development of the new Senate building.
Lacson earlier said the DPWH will oversee the construction of the new Senate building, and will conduct the public bidding for the Detailed Architectural and Engineering Design and Construction Package.
Through a survey conducted within the Senate community on September 19, 2017 and the adoption of Resolution 293, filed by Gatchalian, an 18,320 square meter parcel of land owned by the BCDA, located at the Navy Village in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig, was chosen as the site for the construction of the new Senate building.

Trivia: The Batasan was instituted under the 1973 Constitution promulgated by then-President Ferdinand Marcos, replacing the earlier Congress of the Philippines established by the 1935 Commonwealth Constitution. It was abolished immediately after the People Power Revolution in 1986, and Congress was restored with the passage of the 1987 Constitution.
In 1981, the parliament was formally convened as the Batasang Pambansa, and in August 1985, some dissident members unsuccessfully tried to impeach President Marcos.

Trivia: The Batasan was instituted under the 1973 Constitution promulgated by then-President Ferdinand Marcos, replacing the earlier Congress of the Philippines established by the 1935 Commonwealth Constitution. It was abolished immediately after the People Power Revolution in 1986, and Congress was restored with the passage of the 1987 Constitution.
In 1981, the parliament was formally convened as the Batasang Pambansa, and in August 1985, some dissident members unsuccessfully tried to impeach President Marcos.
