...The Father of Kinaray-a Music By: Salvy Jessa M. Arnaiz Mr. Bernie Salcedo an Antiqueño from Anini-y, is known as the “Father of Kinaray-a Music” because he started the trend of composing Kinaray-a songs. Although he is a mechanical engineer, Salcedo loved to compose songs. He began writing Kinaray-a songs when he was just a teenager back in 1969. He composed Kinaray-a songs on his own and from his heart. His first composition was “Daw sa Kanami Lang” which talks about commitment through friendship and love and how it makes relationships worth keeping. It was then followed by “Mamingaw nga Mata”, a slow, soft, wistful song about the things and memories that we leave behind in the past and remember when we grow older. He also wrote a song for Antique’s hero, Evelio B. Javier, entitled “Ang Bata.” Salcedo got his inspiration on many subjects, themes and topics. He has written songs about his wife, on friendships,relationships and the sentimentalism of the Antiqueños as a people. He also tackles issues about the environment and social actualities like poverty and oppression. In 1977 he wrote the first part of trilogy about the history of Antique which he entitled “Maragtas.” In 1982, he wrote the second and third parts of the story. The musical was done from 1984-1988 and most songs were revised in 1998-1999 when the plot in the script was updated. Salcedo was also considered as the Father of Kinaray-a Music because he virtually influenced the Original Kinaray-a Music (OKM) writers...

...To analyze a firm’s costs, we have to take into account what type of firm it is, what sources of revenue are present and what choices have to be made in order to maximize profit. That is what we will be doing in analyzing the costs that The Daily Guardian incurs. The Daily Guardian is a daily newspaper based primarily in Iloilo City at the same time circulating in Manila, Capiz, Aklan and Bacolod. It’s a firm that has 2 sources of income. One is through the distribution of the paper itself and the other is through the publishing of ads and press releases. Both have a very particular relationship that a balance must be held in terms of the efforts of the firm. It’s true that the ads portion of the revenue greatly outmatches that of the subscriber distribution but the number of subscribers determine the number of people who want their business to be advertised in the paper. If efforts were shifted more to getting more advertisers rather than keeping and gaining more subscribers, there would be an opportunity cost incurred. Instead of gaining more subscribers, the firm would presumably gain more advertisers. Now the problem with that is, although more revenue can be generated with advertisements, advertisers would prefer to partner with papers that have many subscribers. It makes sense. They want word of their promos or events to reach the most number of people possible. But a firm doesn’t really just want to increase its gross profit but its net profit. Now how do we know which...

...THE PROPOSED 200-megawatt coal-fired power plant in Concepcion, Iloilo is on track in time for calls to put up additional electricity sources in the light of the acute power shortage in Mindanao. Iloilo Provincial Administrator Raul N. Banias said he met with top officials of Palm Concepcion Power Corp. (PCPC) in Metro Manila to discuss development status of the proposed coal-fired power plant project. A former mayor of Concepcion, Banias was instrumental in helping DM Consunji, Inc. (DMCI) Power Corp., the original proponent of the plant, in getting public acceptance for the power plant. Although the Department of Environment and Natural Resources already issued and environmental compliance certificate (ECC) to the project sometime in 2007, DMCI did not initiate construction after failing to secure power supple agreements with distribution utilities in Western Visayas. In November 2010, A. Brown Co., Inc. (ABCI), through subsidiaries Palm Thermal Consolidated Holdings Corp. and Panay Consolidated Holdings Corp., bought DMCI Power Corp.’s proposed coal-fired power plant in Concepcion. The new owners then formed subsidiary PCPC to spearhead the future construction and operation of the plant. ABCI is the investment arm of businessman Walter Brown which is primarily engaged in the business of real estate development but has interests in power, property development and investments in other companies. In February 2012, A. Brown announced that it has tapped BDO Capital and Investment...

Jardinico BS Mechanical Engineering Student: 2011-15731 Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering College of Engineering University of the Philippines In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of ME 188 Power Plant Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering College of Engineering University of the Philippines Diliman Quezon City December 2015 ii Abstract The study is aimed (1) to quantify the demand for fuel requirements and powerplant capacity in the province of Iloilo for the next 30 years, and (2) prioritize the energy sources, conversion technologies and powerplant sites available in the province. Electricity consumption from the five sectors (residential, commercial, transportation, industrial, and agricultural) were calculated using different models and assumptions. These values were projected to the year 2045 in order to predict the total electricity demand on the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly bases. There is an average of 262.28 MW demand from the computed consumptions which was translated to fuel requirements considering the existing, upcoming, decommissioning, and the reserve. A total of 284.77 MW plant capacity was calculated for 2045. Assuming that bituminous coal will be used as the main fuel for running a Coal-fired powerplant in the future, a fuel requirement of 12.25...

...History of Fiji Fiji was first settled about 3,500 years ago by the Melanesians and Polynesians. According to Fijian legend, the great chief Lutunasobasoba led his people across the seas to the new land of Fiji. Most authorities agree that people came into the Pacific from Southeast Asia via the Malay Peninsula. Here the Melanesians and the Polynesians mixed to create a highly developed society long before the arrival of the Europeans. The European discoveries of the Fiji group were accidental. The first of these discoveries was made in 1643 by the Dutch explorer, Abel Tasman and English navigators, including Captain James Cook who sailed through in 1774, and made further explorations in the 18th century. Major credit for the discovery and recording of the islands went to Captain William Bligh who sailed through Fiji after the mutiny on the Bounty in 1789. The first Europeans to land and live among the Fijians were shipwrecked sailors and runaway convicts from the Australian penal settlements. Sandalwood traders and missionaries came by the mid-19th century. European traders and missionaries arrived in the first half of the 19th century, and the resulting disruption led to increasingly serious wars among the native Fijian confederacies. One Ratu (chief), Cakobau, gained limited control over the western islands by the 1850s. Cannibalism practiced in Fiji at that time quickly disappeared as missionaries gained influence. When Ratu Seru Cakobau accepted Christianity in 1854...
