Municipality of San Remigio
Office of the Municipal Mayor

November 8, 2013, a day when people devastated by TyphoonYolanda thought it was all darkness. The storm broke lives, hearts, houses and businesses. It was a picture where people didn't know where to start rebuilding their home and their livelihood.

"Difficult battles are given to the strongest soldiers"

Yes, we were hit by that super Typhoon Yolanda but we have that strong faith to withstand to rise up again, very persistent no matter what challenges comes upon.

Fast forward one year on November 08, 2014, Municipality of San Remigio in coordination with the Cornerstone Group will host a TRIATHLON event and party highlighting the fact that our town is back to business and better than ever! Once again, one of the jewels of Cebu tourism and an upcoming sports travel destination in Northern Cebu. 

Same as Triathletes we, from San Remigio are known for our strength and our endurance to sustain even the most difficult times and trials.

Our place is now a picture of revitalized San Remigio!

Haladaya Festival Daanbantayan

Nine months after Typhoon Yolanda  hit the northern part of Cebu and devastated thousands of homes, residents of the Municipality of Daanbantayan remained strong and showed their resilience. They gave thanks for their partial recovery through their Haladaya Festival which is staged every 30th of August in honor of the town's patron St. Rose of Lima.

“United with the Almighty God’s unceasing guidance and blessing, the Kandayan-ons have shown their natural resiliency and extraordinary ability to rise from the rubbles of Yolanda as we never wavered in our belief that we can survive, and not just survive, but be better than we were before,”  said Mayor Augusto D. Corro in his fiesta message.
“Unity and transparency for progress and development through authentic leadership” was the theme for this year’s annual fiesta celebration.

According to the provincial government's site, around 3,000 spectators flocked at the Daanbantayan grand stand to witness the ritual showdown between five contingents.

Tribu Kasikas sa Kandaya was declared the Grand Champion, Tribu Calaag-Ta sa Kandaya ranked second while Pundok  sa mga Kabatan-onang  Kandayanon ranked third. Masidlakon Kandayan-on  and Pundok sa Kandayan-ong Bacamaba came in fourth and fifth places, respectively.

About Haladaya Festival

Haladaya means an offering to Datu Daya, the legendary chieftain of the town.  It is a celebration of the town’s victory over the oppressive Moro pirates. The festival tells about the heroism of Datu Daya and showcases the glorious past of the place.

HOW do we measure a city’s success? Cebu’s newest cities—Bogo, Carcar and Naga—are in a good position to face this question squarely, before they have to bear the problems that older and larger cities now face, including floods and heavy traffic.

One measurement favored by some local officials is revenue, which tends to increase after a town becomes a city. In his State of the City Address last Monday, Mayor Valdemar Chiong reported that the City of Naga’s revenues grew by P414 million between 2007 and 2013.

Bogo and Carcar, which also became cities in 2007, can also report higher revenues since the change. From 2007 to 2012, Bogo’s revenues increased by P178 million, while those of Carcar grew by P215.5 million, according to the audit commission.

But sound financial statements aren’t the only measure of a city’s health. Mayor Chiong acknowledged as much, when he said that the City needs to create an Environmental Management Office to take charge of conservation, pollution prevention and the safety of the city’s water supply.

There is a need to rethink the way we assess our cities, and this assessment must incorporate how well each city works with surrounding communities in solving problems that respect no boundaries.

The City of Bogo has climbed up by 69 spots as the 47th most competitive city in the Philippines based on the Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index (CMCI) 2014 of the National Competitiveness Council (NCC). The Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index is an annual ranking of Philippine cities and municipalities developed by the National Competitiveness Council through the Regional Competitiveness Committees (RCCs) with the assistance of the United States Agency for International Development. The CMCI measures competitiveness at the local government level using 28 indicators grouped into three equally-weighted pillars: Economic Dynamism, Government Efficiency, and Infrastructure. Scores on each pillar were combined to form the overall score used to rank cities and municipalities.

Here is how Bogo City was scored:

Other local government units in the country want to replicate a proposed ordinance in Bogo City which seeks to establish a system of disaster preparedness in the family, said an official of the Department of the Interior and Local Government.
Disaster Risk Reduction Management
Willie Jean Cabanag, focal person for Disaster Risk Reduction Management-Climate Change Adaptation Programs of DILG-7, said they will soon come up with a policy making Bogo City’s disaster program dubbed as Information Management in Preparation for Disasters or “I.M. PrepareD” as model to other LGUs in the country.

“Ang gi-push gyod karon is family disaster preparedness. Na-interested ang department ani sa good practice sa City of Bogo nga family disaster preparedness gyod ba. So gi-recommend sa DILG-7 didto sa central nga ipa-replicate,” she said during a Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Summit on Tuesday.

She added the scheme under the said program caught the interest of DILG Undersecretary for local government Austere Panadero during his meeting with the city officials in Bogo last July 14.

The Bogo City’s ordinance institutionalizing the I.M PrepareD program for families, barangays, schools and business establishment is now up for second reading.

The Weather Philippines Foundation Inc. (WPFI), which aims to deliver critical and accurate weather forecasts to the Filipino community, has distributed 10 weather stations (AWS) to local government units in Cebu including Bogo City. 
Bogo City Weather Station

SunStar reported: 
The WPFI turned over the AWS and trained the municipal disaster risk reduction and management officers (MDRRMO), public information officers, administrators and mayors on the installation of the AWS and how to use the Weather Philippines website.
By bringing together the Aboitiz Group's resources and network, and MeteoGroup's technical expertise, WPFI is poised to be the country's premiere private weather information/content provider. The foundation aims to deploy 1,000 AWS nationwide.

The LGUs that received the AWS are Alcoy, Daanbantayan, Dumanjug, San Francisco, Madridejos, Malabuyoc, Santander, San Remegio, Tuburan and Bogo City.

In a press statement, WPFI said it wants to “complement the government’s efforts in reducing weather-related disaster risks in the country, enabling timely response to variable weather conditions to avoid loss of life and property.”
