PRIOMETAL Mindanao Corporation, a Cagayan de Oro-based pioneering light metal manufacturing company, is set to do a Mindanao-wide launch of its innovative building system sometime in March.

Priometal's BahaiCO, Bahay Mo is a system integrated with various innovative building technologies that guarantees to provide durable, faster to construct, affordable and more economical buildings.

According to engineer Jeffrey Co, Priometal president, the launching of BahaiCO, Bahay Mo in the region is timely as the national government has begun its Build, Build, Build infrastructure initiative and investors are converging to tap Mindanao's potential.

“We want industry stakeholders to be aware there is a locally available technology which will give them considerable benefits beyond what they are now implementing,” Co said.

With their aim to promote and provide “innovative building system technology that is cost-efficient,” Priometal's BahaiCO, Bahay Mo's benefits includes durability, more economical, faster to complete, more comfortable to the home owner, has zero waste advantage, zero soil poisoning application, and zero wood usage.

The BahaiCo, Bahay Mo system, Co said, uses minimal form and shoring works with no wooden scaffoldings. Their iCO Metal Purlin are pre-cut, pre-fabricated, and pre-labeled in our planet resulting in zero waste.

Apart from the launching, Priometal will also be showcasing its iCO Scaffholding Frames and Functions, iCO Ficem Door Series, iCO Roof Deck System using Waterproofed Fiber Cement Boards, and iCO Concrete Flooring Frames and Functions with Ceiling.

Co also mentioned his plan to solve the garbage problem through innovating their iCO-friendly hollow blocks that recycles shredded non-biodegradable garbage which will be in the market soon.

“I believe we have already achieved our goal to provide a better home every Juan deserves. Now it's time to share the benefits of our technology to the industry in Mindanao,” Co said.

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. /
