    Philippines assures completion of new convention center for ASEAN summit

    The Philippine government assured Wednesday that the convention center in Cebu, central Philippines, will be completed before the 12th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in December.

    Presidential Chief Protocol Marciano Paynor said construction of the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) in Mandaue is near its completion stage and will be operational by November 15.

    "The CICC is 54.4 percent completed with a positive slippage of 2.6 percent. I am very aware of various concerns in Cebu. The Cebu provincial government led by Governor Gwen Garcia is vigorously ensuring CICC be completed by November 15," Paynor told a press briefing.

    "It was told the interior of the building is already finished and that furnishings are being considered now. That is not a problem knowing fully well that Cebu has a robust furniture industry," he added.

    The ASEAN summit is scheduled on December 11 to 13, to be followed by a summit meeting of leaders of China, Japan, South Korea and ASEAN countries also known as 2nd East Asian Summit.

    Paynor said the Department of Foreign Affairs has prepared contingency measures if the CICC will not be completed in time for the summit, which will be hosted by the Philippines which assumed ASEAN presidency by the end of July from Malaysia.

    Philippines wants ASEAN summit to address rising cost of oil

    The Philippines will be hosting an energy summit to address the rising cost of oil when South East Asian leaders and dialogue partners gather in Cebu, central Philippines, for its annual regional meeting in December, a Foreign Affairs official said Wednesday.

    Luis Cruz, Foreign Affairs Assistant Secretary for Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Affairs, said all ASEAN member states have agreed to hold wide-range discussions on the issue and to include energy security in the summit's agenda.

    "They accepted the proposal. We will devote two hours on this matter during the meeting. We will discuss this not only in the ASEAN Summit but during the 2nd East Asian Summit," Cruz told a press briefing.

    Party to usher in ASEAN
    120-day countdown starts next week


    Cebu will have a big street party next week to mark the 120-day countdown to the opening of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit in December.

    Cebu City ASEAN summit preparations action officer Nagiel Bañacia said August 7 to 11 would be declared ASEAN week in Cebu in line with the founding anniversary of the 10-member ASEAN.

    The cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and the town of Cordova will jointly hold various celebrations. President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will culminate the week with a program on August 8 in Los Baños, Laguna.

    In Cebu, the grand celebration will be anchored on the unveiling of a huge digital countdown clock, which will count the 120 days leading to the formal opening of the summit in December.

    The clock, to be put up at the Fuente Osmeña rotunda, would be donated by the M. Lhuillier Group, Bañacia said.

    That same day, parade contingents from Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue cities will converge in Fuente Osmeña where Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia will lead a program.

    Goodbye sore eyes

    For Cebu City, Bañacia said next week would also start the beautification of the city’s “Ceremonial Route.”

    The Ceremonial Route includes the streets of Sergio Osmeña at the North Reclamation Area, Juan Luna Avenue from SM City to Salinas Drive in Lahug, and the Veterans drive going to Marco Polo Plaza Hotel.

    These streets will be cleared of structures that encroach on the sidewalks.
    Elegant street lamps will also be installed on these streets, Bañacia said.

    Beautification of the Cebu City streets will cost the city P5 million.

    In Mandaue City, Mayor Thadeo Ouano said the city’s ASEAN Task Force already listed buildings along its own Ceremonial Route that need repairs.

    The ceremonial route will span the second Mandaue-Mactan Bridge, Plaridel Street until the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC).

    Ouano earlier banned billboards, streamers and posters along the route as early as May.

    this is what i admired most on our beloved mayor..dili PLASTIC.. :mrgreen:

    no matter how you hide the city's slums from the ASEAN delegates, everyone can't deny the fact that we are a third world nation and that poverty is expected in every places...after all, the rest of the ASEAN nation does have a share of these slums in their area.
    korek ka dyan... unlike GMA na pagbisita ni Pres. Bush iya dayon gi-coveran ug billboards ang mga squaters kay ngano man Ang america ni donate na ug kwarta para sa mga kabus apan wa kaabot sa mga squaters mao na aron dili ma-question si Arroyo iya nalang gitabunan
