Los Baños Science Community produces local TV program

     Dr. Grace Javier-Alfonso, president of the Los Baños Science Community Foundation, Inc. (LBSCFI) and concurrent chancellor  of the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) is leading production  of an S&T oriented TV program that will showcase local personalities in the Science and Nature City.

     The TV program, dubbed by its 22-member-agency organizers as Maki-Makiling, coordinated with Community Cable TV -8 in the production and marketing of its initial 13 episode-offering.  Consisting of six segments, Dr. Alfonso promises viewers to deliver Maki-Makiling as the sole source of entertaining but informative TV program in Los Baños and the Laguna Province.  She has enlisted the support of two-time CMMA awardee, Philippine Star columnist, and media director of Miladay Mr. Boom Tenorio as segment host. Dr. Alfonso avows that “Other than nationally produced and telecasted TV programs, Maki-Makiling stands as the only S&T-oriented TV program in the country that is completely locally produced and starred.”

     For its first five episodes, producers will feature the following sectors/issues: education, solid waste management, livelihood, water resource management, and tourism. Eleven member-agencies of LBSCFI started filming and editing work last April 15, 2011.    These include UPOU, UPLB, LWD, ERDB, BFAR, LSPU, PCARRD, PCAMRD, FPRDI, DOST IV-A, and LGU Los Baños.  The group expects to complete production work for the 13 episodes until the last week of June 2011.

DOÑA LEONILA (MINI-FOREST) PARK

What is now known as Doña Leonila (Mini-Forest) Park overlooking the Sampaloc Lake is actually a portion of the site for the City Hall Complex purchased in 1937 by the Municipal Government of San Pablo headed by President Inocencio Barleta, which was partly developed after the termination of World War II under the administration of appointed City Mayor, Dr. Fernando A. Bautista. During the incumbency of elected Mayor Lauro D. Dizon Sr., with the help of the Rotary Club of San Pablo, and under the supervision of Dr. Juan B. Hernandez, then club secretary of the local Rotary Club and Chairman of the City Beautification Committee, constructed some park structures at the park, with the fountain featuring the country lass with agriculture harvest as centerpiece. Probably, Hernandez and then City Engineer Perfecto Reyes were inspired by the figures affixed on the façade of the City Hall Building which symbolizes progress. Sometimes on April of 1961 when then President Carlos Garcia made a...

San Pablo City’s Hagdang Bato

             Nobody knew the number of steps it has:   when it was constructed and by whom,   until Mayor Vicente B. Amante asked his private secretary to actually count the number of steps and copy the wordings on the tablets affixed on the lower part of the park structure.             The Hagdang Bato (concrete stairway) leading to the Sampaloc Lake, which is now a famous local landmark, is now part of the logo or official seal of San Pablo, being the City of Seven Lakes.           It was constructed in November 1915 under the administration of municipal president Marcial Alimario, but many, including the youth and technical personnel of the local engineering office, simply look it for granted.  Nobody knew the number of steps it has, when it was constructed and by whom, until Mayor Vicente B. Amante asked his private secreta...
