This path, steeped in history, offers a tangible connection to the past, turning every step into a personal encounter with history.

The march symbolizes a united front in honoring the sacrifices made for our nation's freedom.

<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">The
after-effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic which crippled the tourism
industry can still be felt in the Philippines. However,
Puerto Princesa, the “Heart of the Best Island in the World,” harnesses
its vast potential not only as a destination of choice but also as a
preferred center of MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions, and events)
to forge ahead and move forward. </span></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">The
Department of Tourism sees the huge potential of Puerto Princesa, a
city known for its remarkable attributes in MIMAROPA (Mindoro,
Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan), as a preferred location for meetings,
incentives, conferences, and events (MICE). </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">In
May, Regional Director Zeny Pallugna of DOT MIMAROPA in a discussion
with City Tourism Department (CTD) chief Demetrio Alvior
Jr. Said they are pushing for Puerto Princesa as a MICE destination,
where tourists can be enticed to stay longer to enjoy the city’s
attractions. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">During
the “Amos Ta Ren sa Puerto Princesa” radio show, Pallugna said that the
city is well on its way into becoming a MICE location
because of it is capable of hosting events such as Ironman 70.3 Puerto
Princesa and an international dragon boat competition. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">“Aside
from that, maybe in the future we can conduct a 101 on MICE. We can do
that, and then identify the different function facilities
for the MICE market,” Pallugna said, as quoted by <i>Palawan News</i>, so the regional tourism office can start promoting the city at the end of the year, or next year. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">Another
goal for Palawan, Pallugna emphasized, is to train more community tour
guides, and recalibrate their skills continuously,
so they could help promote and showcase the “Filipino brand of service”
globally. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">“The
second thing is—MIMAROPA is, whether they like it or not, we are the
cruise capital of the Philippines. Imagine it, we have
139 cruise calls in the Philippines, 22 of them is in Puerto Princesa;
41 total within the MIMAROPA Region,” Pallugna pointed out. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">The regional director of the DOT also mentioned that they plan to introduce the national program called “Philippine Experience”
to the city, which includes the well-received Suroy-Suroy sa Sugbo, which the local tourism body plans to replicate. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">Alvior,
meanwhile, said that Puerto Princesa’s main focus is on the MICE
industry. As such, City Mayor Lucilo Bayron actively
encourages investors and venture capitalists to build convention
centers in strategic areas such as Quito and the environmental estate in
Barangay Sta. Lucia. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">“Actually, we were discussing tourism activities, and the mayor suggested that we should expand the Quito area. There is a focus
on MICE, so we are working on establishing convention centers,” Alvior was quoted by
<i>Palawan News</i>. </span></span></p>

need to add more international events to attract more tourists from
other countries. And this year, we have incorporated international
events in the celebration – wild bird photography race, Ironman 70.3
challenge, and international dragon boat race. Our Miss Subaraw is
already a national event with the winner coming from Angeles, Pampanga,
and this year, we already have 10 foreign candidates,”
Mayor Bayron said, as quoted by <i>Palawan News</i>. </span></span></p>

Every year, this incomparable event provides a platform for educators, administrators, stakeholders, and partners to come together, exchange ideas, collectively address the ever-evolving needs and challenges of the educational sector, and celebrate as a community.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;">Rex Education also witnessed that the CEAP National Convention is also a spiritual and intellectual journey, an odyssey that reflects the member-institutions and partners’ common aspirations to inspire hope, navigate challenges, and promote quality education for all, with Catholic faith at the core. This year's convention, bearing the theme "Pilgrims of Hope: Exploring Pathways to Synodality" is a testament to CEAP’s continuing journey and support of the Church and society through the promotion of Filipino Catholic education. Rex Education is grateful to be part of the CEAP convention.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;">In this journey, REX, with its decades-long commitment to Philippine education steps onto the convention stage reaffirming its role as duty-bearers of education and an ally to educators and educational institutions, including Catholic schools and organizations, among others. The theme of synodality—journeying together as people of God—is intricately woven into the fabric of REXs story and its mission to nurture every child for lifelong learning—a journey of a lifetime, for every Filipino whole learner.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;"><b>Rex Education Hub: Paths to Lifelong Learning</b><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;">For the CEAP convention, REX brought back its Educational Hub, featuring its diverse and extensive collection of educational resources spanning early childhood education through the formative years in K–12 and to higher education and professional or adult education. Rex Education’s wide array of quality and thoughtfully developed learning materials have been designed for every learner, from early childhood to adulthood, REX is present in every stage and opportunity for the child to learn, be happy, and succeed in life.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;">REX’s resources also offer a comprehensive selection of solutions for teachers, parents, and learning companions, all to complement and enrich teaching and learning processes and experiences, including values that foster learner development. Under Early Childhood Education (ECE), REX exhibited its Little Explorers brand with over 100 titles, including the Hello Animals books. With a focus on values and holistic development, they are designed to stimulate young minds, encourage creativity, and lay the foundations for lifelong learning.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;">REX also offers a broad range of resources for the K–12 program. For this year, REX introduced some of its latest titles for 2024. These include worktexts in Science, Math, and Language, aligned with the evolving needs of learners, educators, and educational institutions.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;">As learners progress to higher education and embark on their professional journey, REX continues its committed presence in their overall growth. REX also unveiled its latest educational resources at the event, encompassing various fields, including Business and Accountancy, Criminal Justice Education, Teacher Education, Hospitality and Tourism, and General Education programs. These newly introduced materials are expected to equip students with the essential knowledge, skills, and values required to excel in their chosen career paths.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;">REX's participation at the 2023 CEAP National Convention goes far beyond featuring its educational resources. It symbolizes dedication to learners of all ages. It is also a testament to Rex Education’s unwavering commitment, just as with the other CEAP delegates, to journey together, with hope, toward a brighter future for Philippine education.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;"><b>REX supports DepEd's MATATAG Agenda</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;"><b></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh05V0oJ3l8UyTkW5QbKZVMzQE5ClBsrXzNmFXki5hRGgumzl6Iyb61_0CZmZW8-rQumoTQsI4DTl2XijzGYlZyRVg3-V1QgwfX5AkqN6Spx-JiO-Xvs8FNzurw2F_CAe07CD4fG8lrLEfkdenMS0E4iWsUpJwBWwVGCAxmYYqIw2fePOTJTYE01PH65GTS/s1600/The%20REX%20team%20showcasing%20the%20DepEd%20MATATAG%20aligned%20products.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh05V0oJ3l8UyTkW5QbKZVMzQE5ClBsrXzNmFXki5hRGgumzl6Iyb61_0CZmZW8-rQumoTQsI4DTl2XijzGYlZyRVg3-V1QgwfX5AkqN6Spx-JiO-Xvs8FNzurw2F_CAe07CD4fG8lrLEfkdenMS0E4iWsUpJwBWwVGCAxmYYqIw2fePOTJTYE01PH65GTS/w640-h480/The%20REX%20team%20showcasing%20the%20DepEd%20MATATAG%20aligned%20products.jpg" width="640" /></a></b></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;">REX's participation at the convention is also a resounding declaration of support for DepEd's newly launched MATATAG Curriculum. The MATATAG Curriculum is expected to de-congest the present K to 12 Curriculum by reducing the number of competencies and focusing more on the development of foundational skills, and in the process improve students’ learning outcomes.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;">"REX is in full support of the MATATAG agenda, particularly the initiative of making the curriculum relevant to produce job-ready, active, and responsible citizens" said Don Timothy Buhain, chief executive officer of Rex Education.";We believe that the implementation of the new curriculum will further enhance the quality of education in the Philippines and contribute to the holistic development of our learners." REX's dedication to this agenda goes beyond words; it is reflected in its initiatives and actions.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;"><br />REX engages education duty-bearers, Edukampyons, and aims to build their capacities for respecting, protecting, and fulfilling every Filipino learner’s right to quality education. As such, REX continues to collaborate with curriculum development experts, respected authors, seasoned educators, subject area coordinators, and other subject matter specialists in the development of quality learning materials.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;"><br />Overall, the 2023 CEAP National Convention remains a force and inspiration for the Catholic faithful in the educational sector and a symbol of resilience and hope for today’s generation and the future. Held on October 17–20, 2023, at the Water Front Hotel, Cebu City, CEAP 2023 successfully brought together over 3,000 delegates nationwide. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen; font-size: small;"> <br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

their works before an extensive roster of art collectors, as well as
help promote the careers of seasoned artists by giving art aficionados a

gallery has so far mounted over 100 art exhibitions here and abroad
involving award-winning and seasoned artists, as well as promising young
painters and sculptors.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="font-family: Cormorant Garamond;"> </span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="font-family: Cormorant Garamond;">Francis
Eugene E. Andrade, also known as Isko Andrade, is a young artist based
in Bulacan who has been known for sharing his stories through his
artworks that evoke a sense of nostalgia. He received several awards and
citations such as Shell National Student Art Competition and Metrobank
Art Design Excellence Competition. He is a graduate of fine arts with a
major in visual communication at Bulacan State University.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="font-family: Cormorant Garamond;"> </span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="font-family: Cormorant Garamond;">For

said art as an asset remains an auspicious investment as it tends to
hold its value over time in contrast with other asset classes whose
value has the propensity to decline sharply when the market crashes.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="font-family: Cormorant Garamond;"> </span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="font-family: Cormorant Garamond;">“What’s

industry and community benefit from having access to clean, sustainable supply.
Among the environmental commitments of Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc.
(PCPPI), the exclusive manufacturer of PepsiCo beverages in the country, is
practicing sound, responsible methods that help manage its use of water in
collaboration with its various stakeholders.</span></span></span></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Spartan;">The 22nd of March marks the commemoration of
World Water Day, and aside from implementing industry best practices and
policies, PCPPI encourages process improvement to further optimize how water is
utilized across all areas of operations. “Upholding our commitment to
responsible water stewardship goes beyond having the systems and protocols in
place that allow our teams to carry out their responsibilities effectively. Our
employees are encouraged to embrace innovation as part of our advocacy,” said
PCPPI president and chief executive officer Frederick D. Ong.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Spartan;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AxrofKFiy8pqo2zSrYU0yvGF6PQDCQSO16P6znHtPiXCtuOy8RFxnJzZQxGZOJMgC62HJA1O_2yK5w0UXLQbkcPkQfH9P1LG8rNQQBPYzoG5Um54_wK5qKJsikmQXP3qf73NBPFGDnY8s8fhXAjmntL7FejHru2HU0r-hqdRLpLFgGGvTK6iRZJuXA/s1600/335327161_1577400232755128_7668780288567520946_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AxrofKFiy8pqo2zSrYU0yvGF6PQDCQSO16P6znHtPiXCtuOy8RFxnJzZQxGZOJMgC62HJA1O_2yK5w0UXLQbkcPkQfH9P1LG8rNQQBPYzoG5Um54_wK5qKJsikmQXP3qf73NBPFGDnY8s8fhXAjmntL7FejHru2HU0r-hqdRLpLFgGGvTK6iRZJuXA/w640-h480/335327161_1577400232755128_7668780288567520946_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></b><span> <br /></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Spartan;"><b><span>Strategic plans supported by strong
partnerships</span></b><span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Spartan;">The water resource management policies of
PCCPI are embodied in the Luntiang Yaman program, which covers the
organization’s sustainability efforts. These include the 3Rs approach to manage
water consumption: reduce, re-use, and recycle. Other than reducing water use,
PCPPI also has protocols in place to optimize electricity use, optimize fuel
yield, manage solid waste output, and community engagement.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Spartan;">PCCPI also works with government authorities
in the communities where it operates. For example, the organization actively
works with the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) to periodically assess
the health of the waterways in the communities they operate alongside
multi-sectoral groups.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Spartan;"><b><span>Sto. Tomas: Shifting the traditional mindset</span></b><span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Spartan;">PCPPI’s commitment to responsible water
management is demonstrated in its manufacturing facilities, particularly in
Sto. Tomas, Batangas. The plant has twice-received PCPPI’s Galing at Sikap
Plant Excellence Award in Sustainability in 2021 and 2022. This recognition is
given to the business units with the highest performance ratings on key focus
areas of operations, including environmental resource management. “The Sto.
Tomas facility was lauded for its efforts in consuming water and energy in the
most economical way, thereby minimizing environmental impact,” Ong added.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Spartan;">According to Plant Manager Chrysler Salcedo, one
of the best practices at work at the Sto. Tomas plant includes setting
definitive operating hours for optimum target volume of water required, both
for the products to be manufactured and for its manpower’s daily water
consumption. This encourages all employees to become more mindful in their
water use in daily operations. Regular training sessions on resource
conservation are also scheduled, and serve as checkpoint meetings where
employees can proactively address potential areas of concern.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Spartan;">“Open communication and collaboration make
even the most complex policies work. In Sto. Tomas, it remains important for
our team to engage in discussions about how we can best manage the resources we
look after: water, electricity, and oil, among others,” said Salcedo. “To
become more effective in our industry, we recognize the value of implementing
more creative, cost-efficient policies so that we can better serve our
communities,” he added.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Spartan;">Strategic and planned updates in the Sto.
Tomas plant have also been implemented to further manage how the facility
consumes water, one of which involves decreasing the frequency of production
line Clean-in-Place (CIP) procedures. These pertain to the overall cleaning of
equipment used after continuous production. “We shifted to a 72-hour cycle,
which will allow us to save 780 liters of water a week. Combined with our
stringent sanitation protocols, we are confident that our operations will
continue to meet internal and industry standards while maximizing financial and
resource savings,” Salcedo explained.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Spartan;">PCPPI is the exclusive manufacturer of PepsiCo
beverages in the country. It distributes well-loved brands such as Pepsi-Cola,
Mountain Dew, 7-Up, Mirinda, Mug, Gatorade, Sting, Tropicana, Lipton Iced Tea,
Milkis, Chum Churum Soonhari, and Premier. For more information about PCPPI and

people think of veterinarians, they usually think of them tending to
household pets, like cats and dogs. But Doc Nielsen isn’t a regular vet.
He’s the managing partner and chief surgeon at Vets In Practice (VIP),
which caters to not-your-usual pets, and he also has a background in
Avian and Exotic Medicine.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">But
what makes him so special is his unbridled care for virtually any kind
of animal, be it crawling, flying, galloping, or slithering.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">Doc
Nielsen’s passion started when he was around three years old. One of
his favorite childhood memories was being excited about going to church
just so he could see the yellow chicks and ducklings being sold by
vendors outside.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">Today,
Doc Nielsen helps run the Laguna Wildlife Park & Rescue Center,
which sits within his family’s property in Pansol. This non-profit
organization houses around 100 species of farm animals and wildlife,
including domestic and neglected pets, as well as exotic animals that
were rescued from illegal sellers and dangerous living conditions. The
wildlife park has everything from chickens and goats to monkeys and a
serval cat, which he tends to with the help of his staff. It’s also
backed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR),
which assists in acquiring and transporting animals to the park.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">The
veterinarian calls the park his “happy place,” which he visits as early
as 5 am to see all of the animals and listen to the different sounds
that envelope the whole park. “When I’m walking here in the morning or
afternoon, it relaxes me. <span><i>Nalilimutan ko yung mga</i></span> stress, that’s why I call it my ‘haven,’” says Doc Nielsen.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u"><span><b>Compassion project</b></span></span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">“We
support the animals with our own resources,” Doc Nielsen says as he
shows the many enclosures in the park that the animals call home. He
also provides them with nutritious food and medicine to keep them
healthy while they’re living in the park.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">He
doesn’t do this alone. Apart from the staff he works with, Doc
Nielsen’s family also helps. His kids, Cedric and Nina, are studying
veterinary medicine, so they’re well on their way to following in their
dad’s footsteps.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u"><span><b>Giving animals a second chance</b></span></span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">While
giving a tour of the park, Doc Nielsen stops to feed and pet the
animals he passes by. One of them is a bearcat (binturong), a nocturnal
mammal with cat-like features that’s endemic to Palawan. Doc Nielsen
explains that the bearcats were transported to the park with the help of
DENR, and they are raised until they’re ready to be released back into
the wild.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">“I
promised that if I ever breed any endemic wildlife animal in the park,
my goal is to help repopulate their species and bring them back to their
natural habitat,” he says. He also takes time to assess animals who
might need medical attention and treat them right away to prevent
infections.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">It’s
not always easy for Doc Nielsen to let go of animals, especially those
that have been used to being around humans. Many of the monkeys, for
example, lived in crowded areas and were treated as pets in their past
lives. Releasing them back into the wild would be a safety risk for them
because a troop of wild monkeys might hurt them.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">This
is why he and his staff ensure that animals like these get the care
they need so they can live a long and healthy life. The wildlife
sanctuary is their safe haven until they are ready to be released in a
protected space.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">Whether
it’s at his clinic in the city or the wildlife park in Laguna, Doc
Nielsen is always ready to offer his expertise and care to all types of
species, no matter how scary they may seem.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">“I
always dreamed of being someone like [British veterinary surgeon] James
Harriot. I’ve always wanted to treat dogs and cats, and farm animals as
big as horses, goats, and sheep,” he said. “There weren’t exotic
animals to treat yet [when I was just starting out.] Now, I’m lucky
because I get to treat more exotic animals, as well as farm animals, in
my clinic and the park.”</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u"> </span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u"> </span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u"> </span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u"> </span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u"> </span></span></div></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeaM4U_h1MC9WiI32nFWicbCqTPamH9p_1ZXhdOOrqnE6ZTmNkh3YGx6gTrt0qzn3lnt8ow-_KX5MBeIE8boQ1GFVos0OqFxBv6p5d85GshRgQ4OxhEe2UBh2pdvwVi8vzr-PuXNsg-M2q/s1600/temp.png" /></span></span></div>

In recent years, the highly urbanized city and tourist haven has been paralyzed by the Covid-19 pandemic, then pummeled by Typhoon Odette. But it is now on the road to recovery---as spectacularly as its scenic, romantic and gastronomic attractions.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“The tourism industry is the lifeblood of Puerto Princesa, along with agriculture. Almost 15,000 people directly or indirectly benefit from tourism. In varying degrees, most of the recent construction and development projects are related to tourism: hotel-building, parks, cruise-ship ports, street lights, roads and many more. Unfortunately, some of these have been on hold since the onset of the pandemic,” discloses Demetrio “Toto” Alvior Jr., the city tourism officer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The Royal Connection</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Puerto Princesa, the capital of postcard-perfect Palawan, sprawls across 253,982 hectares of captivating coastlines stretched over 106 kilometers. Due to its strategic geographical location, it has sufficient depth to allow ships of all sizes to anchor, earning a reputation as a “Princess of Ports,” or in Spanish, “Puerto Princesa.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">There’s no contention that Puerto Princesa is one of the country’s greatest pleasures. A holiday destination universally beloved by travelers, beach-combers and trekkers; a bustling business center with a rural allure; a provincial vibe with modern amenities; and a clean and green city recognized for its lush forests, fresh air and frontier character.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Rising Above Covid-19</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The city of Puerto Princesa has been struggling to get to its feet since the outbreak of Covid-19 in early 2020. The lack of tourists, which is the main industry, has forced hundreds of tourism-related businesses to close, leaving thousands of tourism workers unemployed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“The public-health crisis forced them to find alternative sources of income, which was made more difficult because of the restrictions of movement due to several lockdowns,” Mr. Alvior reveals. “One factor of low tourist arrivals is the fluctuating number of Covid cases, which in turn affects the determination of quarantine requirements and national government intervention policies.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Today, Puerto Princesa is experiencing record lows in terms of economic losses, losing around P5 billion a year for the past two years from potential tourist receipts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“The City Tourism Department has been strengthening its social media campaigns to encourage local tourists to visit local attractions, in a bid to boost much-needed revenues to the ailing tourism sector,” a cautiously optimistic Mr. Alvior says. “We have one important wish in the City Tourism Department, and that is to prioritize the aids for the Typhoon Odette-affected tourism industry here.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The goal is to regain the city’s glory as an eco-tourism capital. “Our 2022 goals are full restoration of all the tourist attractions affected by Typhoon Odette such as the completion of the construction of the cruise-ship port and other man-made tourist attractions. There will be wide, extensive and aggressive promotions of Puerto Princesa to the local and international market.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The Last Frontier</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Puerto Princesa has a plethora of tourist spots. But many tourists who visit the city put the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, one of the New7Wonders of Nature, on top of their list. As the jump-off point for exploring the world-famous Tubbataha Reef, the city also hosts a fair share of adventurers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“Since the Covid-19 outbreak, we have never ceased to hope that the future will be better. This year 2022 is no different. And while what we want is a full recovery, we cannot afford to be careless when taking big steps. As we begin to truly understand the gravity of the situation, we also come to realize that our moves must be consistent with the bigger picture such as the national situation,” Mr. Alvior says.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Since February 10, the city has been happily welcoming more visitors once again, hoping that the arrival numbers will soon be back to pre-pandemic levels. In this initiative, the tourism department shares the privilege on with the private sector.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“While the government is the administrator of the State, the private sector is the bloodline. The government and the private sector are two inseparable factors for Puerto Princesa to prosper, and more importantly, to recover,” Mr. Alvior says. “The key to recovery is to enable and support the private sector to keep or resume their business operations. When it comes to the city’s biggest partners, apart from government agencies, it is the collective impact of small-business operations.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Puerto Princesa may be “The Last Frontier,” but the City Tourism Department is confident that it will always be the first choice of every traveler.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"># # #</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Martin, famously known as Cardo Dalisay on-screen, is making rounds all

on Friday, February 25. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p><p align="justify" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 114%; margin: 0pt 0pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p><p align="justify" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 114%; margin: 0pt 0pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Anuman ang hirap na ating pinagdadaanan, may kakampi na tayo…</span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">”
Martin introduced his new party-list group with first nominee Rep.
Ronnie Ong in-action in the background in the partylist’s video now
circulating online. He continues, </span><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Ang AP Partylist ang tutulong magbigay ng trabaho at kabuhayan sa mga manggagawang Pilipino.”</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></i></p><p align="justify" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 114%; margin: 0pt 0pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p><p align="justify" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 114%; margin: 0pt 0pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjMYVdrmQSMH-ha3_WI57jZT_lzT1GkucNiH6b_9ijw554IFKWnh9izMhd7cYZTmPXOL0h8cEJVa5dLmTOxaoIrQwliqDfyyEKxcgsYnNcgAIqY3qskfYT-0bSPlOT8ALkcy_LtCnBy_JUy5M2IKW-kbDw8zg7PUHLIIJuIAsSVFe5MeYlpPP9ptq3_Rg=s5184" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5184" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjMYVdrmQSMH-ha3_WI57jZT_lzT1GkucNiH6b_9ijw554IFKWnh9izMhd7cYZTmPXOL0h8cEJVa5dLmTOxaoIrQwliqDfyyEKxcgsYnNcgAIqY3qskfYT-0bSPlOT8ALkcy_LtCnBy_JUy5M2IKW-kbDw8zg7PUHLIIJuIAsSVFe5MeYlpPP9ptq3_Rg=w640-h426" width="640" /></a> <br /></span></p><p align="justify" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 114%; margin: 0pt 0pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Rep.
Ronnie Ong is Coco Martin’s long-time friend and is nicknamed by
PeopleAsia as the “frontliner Congressman.” Ong is known for his various
out-of-the-box COVID-19 Bayanihan projects since the first lockdown,
such as his #LibrengSakay program for healthworkers, #LibrengGulay
program for community kitchens, #LibrengTablets and E-skwela Hub
e-learning centers for students and teachers. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p><p align="justify" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 114%; margin: 0pt 0pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p><p align="justify" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 114%; margin: 0pt 0pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Before
the pandemic, Ong also supported senior citizens looking for employment
through his Tulong Pangkabuhayan program, deploying various able-bodied
and willing-to-work seniors at airports, public universities and
government agencies. During the pandemic, he also helped out-of-work
transport workers such as UV Express or FX drivers by employing them as
#LibrengSakay drivers, as well as some laid-off ABS-CBN employees who
found alternative work as contact tracers.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p><p align="justify" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 114%; margin: 0pt 0pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p><p align="justify" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 114%; margin: 0pt 0pt 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">More than just Coco Martin, the all-star cast of Ang Probinsyano forming the famed </span><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Task Force Agila,”</span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> has
also expressed their support for AP Partylist on their social media
pages, sharing the various advocacies of AP Partylist closest to them. </span><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Mula
