Tulabut: Good Start, Good Year (2)
LAST WEEK I wrote something about starting the year right and how some things could steer this year into something more wonderful. Here is a continuation. 300 YEARS. Yes, Mabalacat is celebrating its tercentenary this year (1512-1712). It will be a grand celebration of its people, culture, art,...
Tulabut: Good Start, Good Year
SO WHAT’S in the so-called year of the dragon?
Tulabut: Metro Clark’s Bests in 2011
AND SO, a new year is here. While we look ahead for greater prospects, we can always review 2011 and how its significant people, events, and places (PEP) could help steer 2012.
I have tried, to the best that I can, review the year that was for Clark and have come up with my own PEP list....
Clark: The touch panel industry and training
UNKNOWN to many, the Clark Freeport is a leading producer of today's highly demandable and widely used touch panel products like cellphones, tablets and computer monitors.
One of Clark’s locators is even an exponent in training and techno transfer of Filipino workers as it sends employees...
Proposed sports facility ideal for Asian teams
NEW YORK – Top trade and investment officials here believe that the proposed sports training and recreation facility will be ideal for practices of Asian baseball teams during their winter off-season breaks.
Eugene Elevado, Philippine Trade representative based here, said the Clark STAR (...
Tulabut: It’s Christmas Time in the City
NEW YORK – It’s sooo cold. It’s sooo Christmassy here.
I must admit that I even wanted for some snow to fall while I’m in this city that never sleeps. It did fall a little by the way on my second night but not in Brooklyn where I am staying but in upstate New York and some parts of...
Tulabut: Proud of Clark
SEOUL, Korea (VIA COMCLARK) – Leaving for land said to be flowing with milk and honey via Clark always gives me that proud feeling. This is my third time now to be flying out of DMIA to the mainland US.
Tulabut: Great Man, Great Place
HE IS one Pinoy who gets a standing ovation from Americans.
No, I’m not talking about Manny Pacquiao or Allan Pineda (of Black Eyed Peas).
He is one man who eludes the limelight but not the accolades of men – George Samson, top honcho of Detroit-based World Medical Relief Inc.,...
Tulabut: The Better Airport
CLARK is it!
All roads lead to the Freeport, which hosts the country’s next premier international airport.
Recent news items about NAIA has not only put the congested-and-now-much-maligned Manila airport to shame. It is now also a source of national embarrassment for us Filipinos...
Tulabut: Bits and Pieces
SO MANY things have been taking place lately. They deserved some commentaries. Here are some of them:
Tulabut: Good Things, Good Deeds
IT IS just one of the many wonderful things that are coming.
Tulabut: Who does that?
IN MOVIES, I often see and hear some characters asking the question "Who does that?" It is used more as a phrase than just a mere question in order to drive a point.
Drive a point, we could do in this piece as we borrow that line. So who does what?
*****
Who is it that...
Tulabut: Illegal passway fees
IT’S raining hard. And the state of road pavements, especially highways, is noticeably bad.
In my hometown Mabalacat, I could see right before my eyes how roads are destroyed. Not occasionally but on a daily basis.
The culprits? Heavy sand and gravel trucks and the so-called...
Tulabut: Father and Son
IT’S always nice to see a father and a son together. It is a lot better if they work together – for the good of many.
Tulabut: Noel Tulabut, 911 memories
NO, THIS is not about myself. Definitely not.
Tulabut: Cool Clark
GOING in and around Clark means fun to me. Has it not been so, I would have left the area and had gone to either work or live somewhere else.
But Clark and the local environs is home for me. The environment is really clean especially inside the Freeport where its verdant fields and tree-...
Tulabut: Tidbits 2
CITYHOOD AREA. Contrary to the wrong information that is being circulated on the territorial boundaries of the proposed city of Mabalacat, Barangay Calumpang is not included in the defined boundaries of the soon-to-be-city as contained in House Bill 4736.
While the said barangay has...
Tulabut: Tidbit
ANGELES GOVERNMENT EXTENSION. There are new offices of the Angeles City Government being put up at the Robinsons Mall near Abacan River. I saw some workers rounding up finishing touches, which tells me that it's gonna open soon.
Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan is on the right track in bringing...
Tulabut: Race to Best Hub
IN CLARK, the airlines are not coming. They are are hubbing!
Yes, there is a difference between the two. An airline could just mount flights in and out of Clark. But if they choose to hub, it means operating a base where their fleet and crew are all headquartered in.
Setting up a...
Tulabut: Gratitude and long arms
BACOLOR is about 30 kilometers from Arayat town, more or less.
Geographically, they are located at extreme ends of the third district of Pampanga, with the fabled mountain town in the east and the former Philippine capital on the west end.
But such locations are made closer,...
Tulabut: Clark Duo
TWO great leaders.
Not because they happen to be the prime movers of Clark, a place dear to me and to those who want to see the Freeport soar to greater heights. CIAC President Chichos Luciano and Atty. Ping Remollo of CDC are but rowing to the same directions - to progress - something...
Tulabut: State of the Patients
NANAY BABY is a doctor.
Yep, Governor Lilia Pineda could be a doctor herself. What made me say that? Some three weeks ago, I discussed with her the condition of my mother-in-law who was then in an ICU of one of the local hospitals. But unlike the reason for her admission in January...
Tulabut: Relocate Quarry Check Points (2)
I AM running the column I wrote in May this year. Prior to this article, I also wrote other pieces about the quarry check points that really need to be relocated.
Such call remains unheard. I don't know what's keeping our public servants from doing that. In a chance meeting with ART...
Tulabut: Sports tourism
LET'S try sports for Clark!
Atty. Ping Remollo, president and CEO of Clark Development Corporation, is pushing for sports as one of key tourism attractions inside the Freeport.
This is one initiative that deserves support from everyone. As Atty. Ping puts it, "Sports is a great...
Tulabut: Bits and Pieces (2)
INDEED, there are lots of events and persons that need some commentaries. I am writing this piece just for the purpose. It is usually not my style to be writing about three items or more but I guess, I could waive that once in a while.
