Birth Date March 18, 1869 Birthplace Bago, Negros Occidental Death Date February 10, 1940 Occupation Governor Biographical Text Ruperto Montinola was born on March 18, 1869, in Bago, Negros Occidental. He spent his formative years in Iloilo, raised by his parents, Don Juan Montinola and Doña Martina Benedicto. Ruperto was married to Basa Benedicto, and they had five children namely; Aurelio, Remedios, Otilia, Vicente, and Gloria. Furthermore, he pursued his studies at San Juan de Letran College, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1887, and went on to receive his Bachelor of Laws from the University of Santo Tomas in 1895. In 1900, Ruperto Montinola was appointed as the first public provincial fiscal of Iloilo. His distinguished career continued in 1908 when he was appointed as governor of Iloilo, succeeding Benito Lopez, who had been tragically assassinated. Moreover, in 1931, Montinola was elected to the Philippine Senate representing the 7th District. Renowned as a prominent Filipino politician and lawyer, he earned the title of "Colossus of the South" in the Philippine press. Montinola played a pivotal role as a member of the OsRox (Osmeña-Roxas) Mission to the United States which successfully advocated for the passage of the Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act. This landmark legislation was the first U.S. law to grant Philippine independence. On the other hand, in 1934, Ruperto served as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention from the second district of Iloilo and was elected First Vice-President of the convention. During his tenure as governor of Iloilo, he was instrumental in funding several significant infrastructure projects in Iloilo City. Notably, he supported the construction of the 3-kilometer Forbes Bridge, which connected Iloilo City with La Paz and Jaro; this was the first concrete road in the Philippines. Additionally, Montinola invested in enhancing the port facilities of Iloilo City and undertook the dredging of the Iloilo River’s mouth near the capitol, further improving the region's infrastructure and connectivity. Ruperto Montinola passed away while in office on February 10, 1940, at the age of 70. He was laid to rest in Jaro Cemetery.

Biographical Text Gregorio Yulo served as the seventh governor of Iloilo from 1917 to 1922, under the leadership of three American governor-generals: Francis Burton Harrison, Newton W. Gilbert, and Leonard Wood. During the Philippine Revolution, the people successfully expelled the Spanish from the municipality. However, when American forces arrived, Estancia was reduced to a mere barrio of Balasan. In 1918, Governor Yulo played a pivotal role in the formal separation of Estancia from Balasan, establishing it as an independent municipality. In addition to his political career, Yulo became the general manager of Casa de Hijos de Teodoro Yulo in Negros Occidental and was recognized as the first notary public of Iloilo during the American occupation.

Text Any textual data included in the document President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday stressed that water development projects enhance irrigation, provide potable water, bolster food production, support energy initiatives and promote tourism. He made the statement at the inauguration of the Jalaur River Multipurpose Project (JRMP) Stage II Dams in Iloilo City. The P20-billion project of the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) is the government’s flagship project in Western Visayas. “In the past, we only built irrigation dams for the single purpose of watering our agricultural production areas. Then we made flood control projects to stop flooding and invested billions more for bulk water,” Marcos said. “Our water development projects would not just bring irrigation or potable water to our people, but will help address flooding, produce food, generate electricity, and develop tourism,” the President added. He said the project would further boost development of the agriculture sector and the local economy of Western Visayas. Marcos noted that Iloilo City and the neighboring areas would need 86-million liters per day of high dam reservoir water for commercial and industrial bulk water needs. He said the project would provide uninterrupted irrigation water to over 30,000 hectares of service area and 25,000 farmers. “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,’’ he added. Additionally, Marcos said the project’s 6.6-megawatts of hydroelectric power will improve Panay Island’s electricity supply. He noted that the government was strategically harnessing the country’s water resources while wisely investing limited funds in projects that would bring optimal development to the country. The Chief Executive expressed his gratitude to the South Korean government for partnering with the Philippine government to make the project possible while commending both the NIA and the workforce behind the project. Marcos recalled that former Senate President Franklin Drilon, who was at the inauguration, had pointed out to him that he had been involved in the project for 13 years, beginning in the administration of the late President Benigno Aquino III. “I think it is entirely too long that Phase I that was completed in my father’s time, that Phase II should be completed in my time. We should not have waited that long. I think we need to accelerate the process a little bit,” Marcos said. “While the work to build this project is almost done, our service to the people never ends,” he added.

The Region 6 squad claimed Anilao’s first-ever Palaro baseball gold following a tight 5-4 victory over CALABARZON in the championship game held on Tuesday at the Filinvest City di Mare. Jonas Dionela stepped up for Western Visayas to be awarded Most Valuable Player, Homerun King, Runs Batted In (RBI Kings) and Most Stolen Base, while Kim Cupan was named Best Pitcher. Also part of the squad were Mark Leanns Rapista, AJ Aragona, Christian Dale Silva, Rieven Dalida, JM Dumadiego, Isaiah Joshua Galarpe, Brent Andrei Belgira, Gab Judah Marl Loste, Mike Navigar, and Ryn Michael Delmo.

The Western Visayas representatives got challenge in the quarterfinals round against Region 1, which they defeated with a score of 12-8, before repeating over EVRAA in the semifinals. Nathalie Ann Debuque, the mayor of Anilao town in Iloilo province, said the gold medal feat was a special moment for her town as they fell short of winning the Palaro baseball gold before. “In a remarkable and unprecedented accomplishment, Anilao has won its first-ever gold medal in the 2024 Palarong Pambansa Baseball Elementary (Little League) marking a momentous occasion in our town’s history,” Debuque said in a Facebook Post. “This historic victory was achieved because of the outstanding skills, determination, and sportsmanship of our team to bring home the gold to our beloved town,” added the mayor. “This first-ever gold medal of Anilao in the Palarong Pambansa and first in Western Visayas in the field of Baseball is not only a testament to the talent and determination of our players but also serves as an inspiration to all aspiring athletes in our town. It is a reminder that with hard work, dedication, and community support, anything is possible,” she further said./PN Citation Citation of the article Co, A. S. (2024, July 18).

Text Any textual data included in the document ‘Jalaur dam to boost W. Visayas rice output’ ILOILO—President Marcos led the ceremonial opening of the floodgates for the Jalaur River Multi-purpose Project Stage II (JRMP II) in Calinog, Iloilo, marking a significant milestone for the region’s agriculture and infrastructure. The P20 billion project is expected to increase Western Visayas’ rice production by 160,000 metric tons, or 20 percent of the region’s annual rice requirement. The JRMP II includes three main components: irrigation development, environmental and watershed management, and institutional development. “This dam is just the beginning of our efforts to develop the country’s water resources,” said President Marcos during the unveiling of the project marker. The project will benefit 7,000 farmers across 17 municipalities in Iloilo’s first to fifth districts. It will also provide 86 million liters of water daily for commercial and industrial needs in Iloilo province and Iloilo City. “On top of its use for irrigation, a portion of the water from the High Dam’s reservoir, or around 86 million liters per day, will be utilized to supply the commercial and industrial bulk water requirements of Iloilo City and its neighboring municipalities,” added Mr. Marcos. The JRMP II is also set to generate 6.6 megawatts of hydroelectric power, contributing to Panay Island’s electricity supply. Future plans for the project include the development of inland fisheries, floating solar energy systems, and eco-cultural tourism. Mr. Marcos named the project “Katuwang sa Kauswagan” or “Partner in Progress,” expressing hope that it will serve as a benchmark for similar large-scale projects. “Let this project serve as a benchmark and an inspiration for all endeavors of this scale and of this magnitude,” he said. The President expressed gratitude to Korean Ambassador Lee Sang-hwa for South Korea’s partnership in this and other significant projects in the Philippines. The President committed to accelerating the completion of JRMP II. “I think it is entirely too long that Phase I, completed in my father’s time, should now see Phase II completed in my time. We should not have waited that long. We need to accelerate the process a little bit,” he said. The JRMP II is set to become the largest water reservoir project built by the National Irrigation Administration outside Luzon. The project is targeted to be completed and operational by the end of 2025. Citation Citation of the article Lozada, C. (2024, July 17). 'Jalaur dam to boost W. Visayas rice output.

The Francis Roy Bacuna-mentored Negrense booters had a strong start as they quickly nailed two goals in the opening half, but NCR responded with two goals of their own for a 2-2 score. The Far Eastern University Baby Tamaraws-represented NCR then completed their victory in the extra time as they knocked down the go-ahead goal past the Western Visayas’ defense. Despite the defeat, Bacuna remained optimistic with his squad as they managed to reach all the way to the championship round despite facing tough opponents along the way. “This is a huge achievement for us because we did not expect to reach this far,” Bacuna said. “But this gives us the confidence to try and win the gold medal in the next Palarong Pambansa.”/PN Citation Citation of the article Co, A.
