A Prelude To Holiday 2011 at ayala center cebu
Gwen submits biggest-ever P3.6-billion budget for 2012
ON yesterday’s deadline for the submission of next year’s budget, Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia submitted the Capitol’s biggest budget in the province’s history in the amount of P3.6 billion.
This is more than last year’s P2.6 billion and exceeds the proposed 2011 budget of P3.01 billion.
The bulk will go to the Capitol’s Development Fund and the governor’s office.
The budget of the vice governor also went up to P38.3 million, a contrast to last year’s complaint by the late vice governor Greg Sanchez Jr. when his office budget was reduced by 60 percent at P18 million.
His successor, Vice Gov. Agnes Magpale, is affiliated with the Bakud party of the Durano clan, which is aligned with the Garcia administration’s One Cebu party.
Garcia said, “The budget advocates the principles of good governance, with emphasis on participative governance in planning and budgeting as the key to attain fiscal discipline, allocative efficiency and effective utilization and management of funding resources.”
Provincial and city councils must approve their budget by Dec. 31.
For Cebu province, the Office of the Governor has one of the largest allocations at P447.178 million.
The bulk or P776 million goes to the Capitol’s Development Fund for various programs and projects.
The services were categorized as general public, social and economic services.
The new budget also allocates P72.672 million for the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), P38.313 million for the Office of the Vice Governor, and P6.499 million for each of the offices of the 15 provincial board members.
Also, the province’s 18 hospitals will run on a P60.582 million budget for 2012.
In her budget message, Garcia said the province, for the fifth straight year, showed its relative independence from the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) share, which accounts for 44 percent of Cebu’s required funding sources. Correspondent Carmel Loise Matus

Soon To Rise 2013 in Cebu Citta Di Mari
So you’re sitting on your desk on a sunny friday morning and your phone rings, you pick it up and you answer “Hello”. The person on the other end says, “Good morning sir, This is Harry over in the sales department, How are you doing?” You say, “good”. Then he goes “I’m a friend of Mr. Brown. He bought a unit in Citta di mare and Mr. Brown thought you too might be interested to have property in South Road Properties which is CURRENTLY being develop named Citta di Mare, it literally mean City by the Sea blah blah blah….Stop!
What goes through your mind as somebody describe to you that in the next years to come a place or condominium will be developed perfectly right what they’ve plan?
You may be thinking things will be messed up later just like some of the projects made by some of the developers in the Philippines. The developer may later realize they can’t build a large structure because previously the places was actually a swamp or its a reclaimed land.
Luckily, Filinvest Land Inc don’t have that reputation though. And to give you the closest thing that will really happen and it sure is carefully planned and designed by the developer in partner with Cebu City Government, here are the sample images of the surroundings in your area once you live in Citta di Mare.

Dive Safaris around Cebu and Bohol: Do you like cruising on an outrigger boat from island to island, diving new dive spots every day, spending the nights in beach resorts on different tropical islands? Then a dive safari is definitely the way to go!
For a dedicated diver a dive safari is surely the most convenient way to cruise from island to island, diving the top dive spots of the region. It gives you ample opportunity for excellent diving with 3 to 4 dives a day.
In cooperation with our PADI dive center in Mactan, Kontiki Divers, we offer dive safaris throughout the Visayas. Our safari vessels are custom build outrigger boats specially build for dive safaris and under Swiss management.

On the Visaya safari tour divers check-in in a local beach resorts nearby the dive spots to spend the evening and night in comfort. This gives you the opportunity to retreat if you like some privacy, contrary to live-on-board dive trips where sometimes there is no escape from your dive buddies. So, in the evening, it’s up to you if you prefer to relax in a hammock under the stars or if you want to join the other divers exploring a local “bush-bar” or tourist spot.
