Text Any textual data included in the document DAM’S DEEP IMPACT: With steady water supply, Iloilo aims to become PH’s top rice producer again By Ime Sornito -Wednesday, July 17, 2024 President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. leads the unveiling of the high dam marker and ceremonial pressing of the button to signal the opening of the dam gates during the inauguration of the Jalaur River Multi-Purpose Project (JRMP) Phase II in Calinog, Iloilo on Tuesday, July 16. Joining the President were Department of Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr., National Irrigation Administration Administrator Eduardo Guillen, National Economic and Development Authority Secretary Arsenio Balisacan, and South Korean Ambassador to the Philippines Lee Sang-hwa. AJ PALCULLO/PN President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. leads the unveiling of the high dam marker and ceremonial pressing of the button to signal the opening of the dam gates during the inauguration of the Jalaur River Multi-Purpose Project (JRMP) Phase II in Calinog, Iloilo on Tuesday, July 16. Joining the President were Department of Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr., National Irrigation Administration Administrator Eduardo Guillen, National Economic and Development Authority Secretary Arsenio Balisacan, and South Korean Ambassador to the Philippines Lee Sang-hwa. AJ PALCULLO/PN ILOILO – This province seeks to reclaim its position as the leading rice producer in the country, with guaranteed year-round supply of water to irrigate its vast rice fields. “We aim for six tons per hectare. Achieving this will significantly bolster food security not only for our province but also for the country,” said Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. during yesterday’s inauguration of the largest water reservoir project in Iloilo – the P20-billion Jalaur River Multi-Purpose Project (JRMP) Phase II in Barangay Agcalaga, Calinog town. The governor reminisced that Iloilo, especially the municipality of Pototan, used to lead rice production in the country years ago but was surpassed by other provinces and regions. With JRMP II, which will be fully operational next year – more than 40 years after the completion of its first stage in 1982 – Defensor is confident of providing farmers with continuous water supply, essential for sustained rice cultivation. “This project is a game-changer. It will enhance thousands of hectares of irrigated land in our communities,” said Defensor. Sufficient water supply, combined with encouraging farmers to plant hybrid seeds, would undoubtedly increase rice production, he added. Governor Defensor also emphasized the broader implications of JRMP II, the largest dam outside Luzon, noting it would address domestic water needs, particularly for Iloilo City, which faces high water demand. “Thank you, Mr. President, for your presence and steadfast support of this transformative project, ensuring it is fully realized,” Defensor said in his welcome address. President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. led the inauguration specifically of JRMP II’s three major components – the 109-meter high dam, the 38.5-meter afterbay dam, and the 80.74-kilometer high line canal. In his speech, the President said the JRMP II has three key components: irrigation development, environmental and watershed management, and institutional development. JRMP II is expected to irrigate approximately 31,840 hectares of farmland, benefitting over 25,000 farmers and significantly boosting the agricultural output of Iloilo and the adjacent provinces of Antique, Aklan, and Capiz. “In fact, it is estimated to help increase annual rice production in Region 6 by 160,000 metric tons, which is almost 20 percent of the region’s annual rice requirement,” said the President. A portion of the water from the high dam’s reservoir will be utilized to supply the commercial and industrial bulk water requirements of Iloilo City and nearby municipalities. The President said the project is also expected to generate 6.6 megawatts of hydroelectric power, which will help supplement the power supply on the Island of Panay. “Additionally, it is also proposed to develop inland fishery, floating solar energy systems, and eco-cultural tourism in the near future,” he added. “From this project, we look forward to working more with you to realize the full potential of Iloilo in agriculture and our contribution to the food security of the country,” Defensor told the President. As of June 2024, the JRMP II has an overall accomplishment rate of 75.51 percent, with three dams fully completed and 49.05 kilometers of line canal constructed. The project is targeted to be completed and operational by the end of 2025. PROJECT BACKGROUND JRMP started in 1960. To harness the power of the Jalaur River for irrigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power generation, Congress passed Republic Act 2651, which mandated the construction of the mega dam. The feasibility study was completed in 1976 during the administration of President Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. In 1983, the first phase of the project costing P202.2 million was completed. It covered the rehabilitation of irrigation systems over an area of 22,340 hectares. Due to a lack of funds and insufficient prioritization by subsequent administrations, however, the second phase never took off. In 2011 during the administration of President Benigno Aquino III, from the Korean Exim Bank the Philippine government was able to secure a $207-million loan. In 2023, the project received a significant boost under the leadership of President Marcos Jr. During a National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Board meeting chaired by the President on July 19, 2023, the board approved additional funding for the completion of JRMP II./PN Citation Citation of the article Sornito, I.

Once the JRMP is fully operational, it is expected to irrigate approximately 31,840 hectares of farmland, benefitting over 25,000 farmers and significantly boosting the agricultural output of Iloilo and the adjacent provinces of Antique, Aklan, and Capiz. According to Ilonggo former Senate President Franklin Drilon who has championed the construction of JRMP II since 2011, JRMP can help fulfill the government’s vision of food security and help reduce the price of rice. “By providing a reliable water supply for irrigation, we can boost rice production and ultimately bring down the cost of this staple food,” he explained. President Marcos will specifically inaugurate three major components of the project – the 109-meter high dam, the 38.5-meter afterbay dam, and the 80.74-kilometer high line canal. JRMP started in 1960. To harness the power of the Jalaur River for irrigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power generation, Congress passed Republic Act 2651, which mandated the construction of the Jalaur River Multi-Purpose Project. With financial assistance from the World Bank, the feasibility study on the JRMP was completed in 1976 during the administration of President Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. In 1983, the first phase of the project costing P202.2 million was completed. It covered the rehabilitation of irrigation systems over an area of 22,340 hectares. Due to a lack of funds and insufficient prioritization by subsequent administrations, however, the second phase never took off. In 2011 through Drilon’s initiative, the administration of President Benigno Aquino III breathed new life into the JRMP. From the Korean Exim Bank, the Philippine government was able to secure a $207-million loan which carried a remarkably low-interest rate of 0.15% per annum. The government’s counterpart fund was P2.2 billion. In 2023, the project received a significant boost under the leadership of President Marcos Jr. During a National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Board meeting chaired by the President on July 19, 2023, the board approved additional funding for the completion of JRMP II. The project also includes components for flood mitigation and hydroelectric power generation. “The completion of the JRMP aligns perfectly with the public’s demand for immediate solutions to rising commodity prices. JRMP can help in ensuring a steady and affordable supply of rice,” said Drilon. A recent Pulse Asia survey showed that 72% of Filipino adults see controlling the spiraling prices of basic commodities as the most urgent issue the Marcos administration should address./PN Citation Citation of the article Sornito, I.

The National Irrigation Administration anticipates the dam to be fully operational by 2025, increasing the annual rice production in Iloilo from 197,545 to 338,874 metric tons. NIA-6 PHOTO ILOILO – Former Senate President Franklin Drilon recognized the contributions of both the Aquino and Marcos administrations in the successful completion of the Jalaur River Multi-Purpose Project (JRMP II) in Calinog town. The inauguration of three major components of the project, including a 109-meter high dam, a 38.5-meter afterbay dam, and an 80.74-kilometer high line canal, is scheduled for July 16. President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has been invited to lead the ceremony. Drilon credited the late President Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III’s administration for securing the funding necessary to move the project forward, decades after its initial conception in the 1960s. President Marcos has continued this legacy by approving additional funds needed for the project’s completion, originally initiated by his father, President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., who completed the first phase in 1983. At a recent National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Board meeting chaired by President Marcos, a loan restructuring worth P8.48 billion was approved to finalize JRMP II. Drilon expressed his gratitude to both leaders for their focus on this critical infrastructure, essential for tackling the country’s food security challenges. “This is a legacy project that bridges political divides, and I am honored to have played a significant role in realizing this vision that began six decades ago,” said Drilon. The project’s resumption was significantly aided in 2011 when the Aquino administration secured a $207 million loan from the Korean Exim Bank, marking it as the largest Official Development Assistance (ODA) project from South Korea to the Philippines. The completion of JRMP II is expected to substantially increase rice production, which will help stabilize rice prices, a major inflation factor in the Philippines. The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) in Western Visayas, led by Engr. Jonel Borres, anticipates the project to be fully operational by 2025, increasing the annual rice production in Iloilo from 197,545 to 338,874 metric tons. This project will also provide year-round irrigation to approximately 31,840 hectares of farmland, benefiting 25,000 farmers. Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr. noted that about 4,500 indigenous people in the province would also benefit from the project. As part of the preparations for full operations by the end of 2025, the impounding of water in the Jalaur High Dam began on May 8. According to Steve Cordero, JRMP II watershed management chief and spokesperson, filling the high dam will take about 12 months, necessitating the early commencement of water storage. JRMP II is among the 194 priority infrastructure projects under the government’s “Build Better More” (BBM) program./PN Citation Citation of the article Sornito, I. (2024, July 16).

PHOTO COURTESY OF KAYA-ILOILO MANILA – Kaya Futbol Club-Iloilo capped off its championship run in the 2024 Philippines Football League with a 3-0 beating of Loyola Meralco Sparks FC on Saturday night at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum. Mar Diano, Simone Rota, and Jovin Bedic converted a goal each as the back-to-back PFL champions finished the season with a league-leading 40 points on 13 victories and a draw. “Siyempre ‘yung goal naman talaga is makuha ‘yung PFL championship then nag-play kami as a team, together,” Kaya-Iloilo veteran Marwin Angeles said in a post-game interview. Kaya-Iloilo opened the scoring in the 28th minute as Diano weaved through the traffic to convert from close range following a corner kick from South Korean forward Lee Dok-yung. Three minutes from Diano’s conversion, Rota doubled the advantage for the Iloilo City-based football club as he knocked down a header from a curling pass by Jhan Jesus Melliza. Kaya-Iloilo widened the lead further just before the halftime break as team captain Bedic drilled one from close range after Melliza slotted the ball to him inside the penalty box. Rota, who was hobbled by injury almost the entire tournament, said he was glad that Kaya-Iloilo was able to complete a perfect season ahead of the football club’s international campaign. “I was not able to play most of the games this season because I am injured, I am happy that I was able to help the team win today,” Rota said during his Player of the Game interview. “Because we promised to ourselves that we have to finish strong, that is our mentality because not too far we will go to another tournament and we want to keep this winning mentality,” he added.

Charles Turla of Western Visayas set a new Palaro record when he registered 60.26 meters in the elementary boys’ javelin throw event on Friday morning at the Cebu City Sports Center here. Turla, a 12-year-old son of a truck driver and a housekeeper in the small town of San Enrique in Iloilo, made his presence felt as he eclipsed the eight-year old mark of 57.50 meters set by Jerrick Mendoza of CALABARZON in the 2016 edition in Legazpi, Albay. But what made the feat special was the fact that he registered it in his first time competing in this prestigious regional conclave for elementary and high school student-athletes. “I’m happy to win the gold medal and break the Palaro record,” said Turla, a shy and unassuming Grade 6 student at the Gines Quinlopan Elementary School. He said his victory made him hungrier for more success. “I won’t stop just because I won here.” “We are now just waiting for the actual measurement from the contractor who constructed the track oval,” Obiena said. “We are hoping that the measurements will be done and released soon.” The Montessori of Zamboanga students were thrilled to get a lot of gold medals in their first Palaro. “This is the first time I played in the Palaro and I’m happy we got a lot of gold medals,” Fabian said. “We trained five times a week for this Palaro,” Hebron added. Also adding to Zamboanga’s medal haul is the couple of Francheska Darwin and Bhenz Semilla after clinching the gold medals in the junior (secondary level) singles of foxtrot, Viennese waltz, tango, and waltz. The pair of Francis Dave Sombal and Mitchloni Dinauanao teamed up to win the gold medals in the junior Latin singles of paso doble, rumba, chachacha, Grade A - 5 dance, and samba for Central Visayas. As of 5 p.m., CALABARZON still holds the top spot in the overall medal tally with 19 gold, eight silver and seven bronze medals. Defending champion National Capital Region remains in second place with a 15-8-13 medal haul while Central Visayas is in third place with a 13-19-6 medal record.

Arthur Defensor Jr. is hopeful that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. will highlight significant infrastructure projects in Iloilo and Western Visayas during his third State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 22. In his previous addresses, President Marcos brought attention to the region, particularly spotlighting the revival of the Panay Railway, which directly impacts Iloilo. The governor expressed confidence that Iloilo will again be mentioned due to its consistent inclusion in the President’s plans. “More than expectation, it is our desire to hear, and I think Iloilo will be mentioned because the President has consistently recognized our province and his plans for it,” Defensor said. He particularly referred to the development of the Panay Railway, the construction of the Iloilo-Capiz-Aklan Expressway (ICAEX), and the Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridge as key projects previously highlighted. However, Defensor noted he does not expect the President to reiterate these projects in the upcoming SONA but is eager to hear about new development initiatives for the region. Governor Defensor confirmed his invitation to attend the SONA and expressed gratitude towards President Marcos for prioritizing Iloilo in his administration’s programs. Defensor is also attending the launch of the Green, Green, Green Program today at Roxas Boulevard Promenade in Pasay City, a project under the Local Government Support Fund (LGSF) benefiting Iloilo province. “We are always at the forefront of the administration’s programs and priorities. We are happy, very thankful, and looking forward to working more closely with the administration,” Defensor said./PN Citation Citation of the article Sornito, I. (2024, July 15).

Arthur Defensor Jr. emphasizes incoming Education Secretary Sen. Sonny Angara’s effectiveness in navigating legislative processes and securing funding for educational priorities, such as classroom resources and teacher support, among others. ILOILO — Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. expressed confidence that Sen. Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara serving as Education Secretary will positively impact the province of Iloilo and the rest of the country by facilitating requests for additional education-related resources, including classrooms. The governor highlighted their connection, noting their time together at the University of the Philippines, their fraternity ties at Sigma Rho, and their work at the Angara Abello Concepcion Regala & Cruz Law Offices (ACCRALaw). Defensor expressed his approval of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s decision to appoint an Angara as the next Secretary of the Department of Education (DepEd). He said Angara is the “best man” to lead the education sector, citing his notable educational achievements and professional background. Angara, who holds degrees from Harvard Law School, the London School of Economics and Political Science, and the University of the Philippines, was praised by Defensor for his expertise and dedication to educational reform. Defensor also lauded Angara’s legislative record, particularly his role in advocating for the Secondary School Career Guidance and Counselling Act (Republic Act No. 11206), which Defensor authored while he was the representative of Iloilo’s 3rd District. He emphasized Angara’s effectiveness in navigating legislative processes and securing funding for educational priorities, such as classroom resources and teacher support. “We need a former legislator for our educational system. Senator Angara will be the best champion for the education budget in both the House and the Senate. We are happy that he is there,” Defensor added. Dr. Ernesto Servillon Jr., Schools Division Superintendent of Iloilo Province, also welcomed the appointment of Angara. “It is a welcome development because right now there is an ongoing activity related to education between the office of Senator Angara, and the Provincial Government of Iloilo City Government of Iloilo City,” he said, referring to the “Proof of Concept on the Devolution of Specific Functions of Basic Education to Local Governments.” Servillon expressed confidence in Angara’s leadership, stating, “This engagement with the education sector is a strong indicator that he could lead the Department to greater heights. I am happy and I feel comfortable with Senator Angara as our new Secretary.” Angara will replace Vice President Sara Duterte, who announced her resignation as Education Secretary on June 19, 2024./PN Citation Citation of the article Sornito, I.
