The SBMM Save the Baguio Market Movement is closely monitoring and creating a comprehensive development plan for the Baguio City Public Market. We already had 2 Private Companies who proposed for its Privatization wherein the Baguio Vendors and Residents strongly OPPOSED its privatization: Uniwide who went bankrupt and Shoe Mart who withdrew their proposal. It is so sad to hear from one of the Councilors that this current administration is still considering PPP as a modality but this time, a Solicited Proposal. We wasted 30 years for the market to be redeveloped, we all want a PEOPLE LED PUBLIC MARKET, not a PRIVATE led development, rest assured that the people of Baguio will OPPOSE such PPP PROPOSALS!
Join SBMM in PLANNING for a PUBLIC LED PUBLIC MARKET!

Masaya ako dahil may champion tayo sa Congreso, kakampi natin sa pag tutol ng privatization ng Baguio Public Market, at sa mga PUBLIC MARKETS sa buong bansa! PPP contracts whether lease or joint venture, unsolicited or solicited proposals are prone to corruption by those in our LOCAL government, benefits the rich companies and displaces our vendors whose lifeline is the public market. We NEED TO BE MORE VIGILANT AND WE WILL FIGHT AGAINST ANY PRIVATIZATION OF OUR PUBLIC MARKET!

This is the answer to our LAMENTATION for projects in the CITY OF BAGUIO… wala pang NATATAPOS as stated in these UPDATES

Mayor Benjamin Magalong shared several ongoing and upcoming developments in the Summer Capital’s sports facilities during the recent pre-departure orientation of President Fidel V. Ramos (PFVR) Gymnasium for Baguio athletes joining in the Palarong Pambansa at Agusan del Sur from May 24 to 31, this year.

He said the ongoing Athletic Bowl oval rehabilitation is expected to be completed by July this year and plans are underway for the rehabilitation of the diving pool, while a month-long feasibility study is being conducted to determine the most suitable heating system, whether gas or electric.

The city’s athletic complex is also being eyed as a regional training center where national and local athletes can train together for high-altitude sports preparation with improvements to the facility’s lighting system set to be implemented following concerns over high electricity expenses recorded in 2019.

Meanwhile, the athletes’ quarters will be upgraded to accommodate more than 90 athletes, particularly during major sporting events and a wall-climbing facility at the back of the complex is expected to be completed within the next two weeks.

For the tennis court, existing installations will be removed to meet national standards, with rehabilitation targeted for completion next year. Planned upgrades include spectator covers, canopies, and the establishment of a restaurant, with a prospective operator already identified.

Enhancements are also planned for the Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) area, which is currently being used by students for training.

The grandstand will undergo improvements, including the installation of proper seating modeled after the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) tennis court design while existing seats with backrests will be removed to prevent damage, although they may still be used as individual seating.

Lighting within the athletic complex will also be improved to ensure adequate illumination during nighttime activities.

Outside the complex, developments are planned for the football field which may be elevated by up to three meters including parking spaces for around 1,008 vehicles, while an artificial grass field above the parking area is envisioned to host football and international sporting events. Archery facilities will also be integrated into the area.

Additionally, near Ganza Restaurant, plans are being considered for the construction of a three-story parking building with a basement, pending confirmation through a technical study. The project is estimated to cost around P646 million and will be government-operated.

Mayor Magalong expressed support for the PSC proposal to establish a multi-purpose sports complex inside Camp John Hay that will accommodate various sports such as volleyball, basketball, badminton, pickleball, and others.

Once completed, Baguio will have three major sports complexes: the Athletic Bowl Sports Complex, Teacher’s Camp and Camp John Hay.-Kyth Dongga-as/PIO-Baguio Intern/gabykeith

Proud to be an Iranun!

Iranun Lanong Warship
(Illustration by Rafael Monleón, 1890)

A powerful lanong (joanga) warship of the Iranun people—among the largest and most feared vessels to sail the seas of Mindanao and Southeast Asia during the 18th century.

🕰️ Short History
Stretching over 100 feet in length, the lanong was equipped with massive bamboo outriggers and propelled by more than 190 rowers and paddlers under full sail. These warships were used by the Iranun and allied maritime groups for long-distance voyages, trade, and warfare across the Sulu and Celebes Seas.

PRIORITIZE FOOD SECURITY!
Thank you for this post! Indeed we need more sea vessels for food transport, instead of spending these on flood control ghost projects, we should take advantage of our seas and increase water transportation, which is one of the fastest means of exchange of goods from Mindanao to Visayas and to Luzon and vice versa.

CONGRATULATIONS Makati City for the ratification of your CLUP and ZO 2024-2034, on May 11, 2026 by DHSUD.

Kailan Kaya sa Amin sa Baguio??? Mabuti pa ang Makati, they hired EXPERTS like T.A.M. Planners Co. and RSDPI, another lamentation for Baguio City…wala pa kaming ratified CLUP…

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) 2024-2034 and the Zoning Ordinance (ZO) 2024-2034 of Makati City of the Philippine (PH) National Capital Region (NCR) was duly ratified last Monday, 11 May 2026 by the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) through Department Circular (DC) No. 2026-003, Series of 2026. It follows the 23 January 2026 Metro Manila Council (MMC) action through Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Resolution No. 26-01, endorsing the CLUP/ZO to the DHSUD for ratification. This was preceded by an approx. 1.5 year extended joint technical review (JTR) by the MMDA-DHSUD NCR & ELUPD and by the new Makati City LGU administration (that assumed office after the 2025 elections). With this ratification, the full rollout, information dissemination and implementation/enforcement of the ZO follows. The Makati City CLUP/ZO and ZO IRR may now serve as the newest reference for highly urbanized cities (HUCs) in the country. The CLUP-ZO effort from 2023-2025 was undertaken by Tomeldan, Alli & Molina (T.A.M.) Planners Co. and RSDPI.
