Villanueva: The Up North Business Club

Brenda Lee Villanueva

THE Up North Business Club (UNBC) emanated from the Baguio Association of Hotels and Inns (Bahai). The UNBC comprises of hoteliers in Baguio City. This year, it was restructured to encourage and welcome participation from other business sectors.

“To encourage those who have ideals and visions in sharing expertise and potentials for growth and for the well-being of our city.” The UNBC objective is to build relationships, to network and to promote good ethics and standards collectively. Also, to synergize and to create sustainable tourism initiatives.

With the UNBC officers president Jeannine Chan, vice president Gerry Beltran, secretary Kristine Suarez, assistant secretary Freida Fernandez, treasurer Pem Solis, auditors chef Ben Munar and Cindy Segwaben, and PRO Nathan Barroga, this mission will certainly come into fruition. The officers were inducted by Pastor Ric Chan at the Mountain Lodge and Restaurant last September 3. Information from Shem Padua.

WHERE’S THE WATER? Water is sparse at the Jaclupan wellfield in Talisay City in this photo provided by the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) on Friday, April 26, 2024. Completed in 1998, MCWD’s Jaclupan facility, officially known as the Mananga Phase I Project, catches, impounds and pumps out around 30,000 cubic meters of water per day under normal circumstances. However, on Friday, MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias said the facility’s daily production had plummeted to 8,000 cubic meters per day, or just about a quarter of its normal capacity, as Cebu grapples with the effects of the drought caused by the El Niño phenomenon, which is expected to persist until the end of May. The facility supplies water to consumers in Talisay City and Cebu City. /
