DAPA, SURIGAO DEL NORTE, June 7 (PIA) -- Lured by the growing popularity of Siargao Island as one of Asia-Pacific region’s major tourism destinations, a contingent of 300 information technology experts from Japan will be treated to a 4-day blowout in this “paradise island” in connection with their company’s twentieth anniversary. 

The all-expense paid holiday scheduled on June 7 – 10, 2013 is sponsored by AWS Group of Companies, a multi-million Japanese IT firm known as one of the major players in the global market. 

Lizabeth Ong-Coro, vice-president and director, said the company’s top Japanese executives will be arriving on June 7 at Sayak Airport in Del Carmen town while the rest of company delegates will be arriving at the Port of Dapa on board a chartered fastcraft from Cebu City. She identified the corporate honchos as Masayuki Aoki, Akira Konishi and Tadashi Ishikawa. 

“Our company has chosen Siargao as venue to hold our 20th anniversary because the island has plenty to offer such as the world-famous surfing spot of Cloud 9, the world-famous Dedon Island, crystal-clear waters for snorkeling, kayaking, the country’s largest mangrove forest, fresh seafoods and many others,” Coro disclosed. 

She said that during the 4-day period, the tech-savvy Japanese group will have a “team-building” workshop wherein they will be assisted by municipal officials of Del Carmen as well as by key personalities of Siargao Tourism Council and Siargao Adventures. The activity has the support also of Gov. Sol Matugas, Congressman Francisco Matugas, entrepreneur Elizabeth M. Abejo and Meluth Abejo of Siargao Blue Resort. 

“The advent of these IT experts from Japan will truly translate to boundless promotion of Siargao Island and will surely benefit our local economy as more foreign tourists and investors will become interested in our place,” Coro added.

As a leading offshore IT outsourcing services provider in Asia, the AWS Group of Companies was established in 1993 and had specialized on software development and testing services with key offices in Manila, Cebu, Tokyo, Osaka and Beijing (China). Among its clienteles are blue-chip multi-national companies such as Sanyo, Lenovo, Sharp, Toshiba TEC Corp., IBM, Sumito Heavy Industries, Ltd., JICA, Konica Minolta, M-Systems, NTC Newtech, IMES and many others.

Government Assistance Benefits Island Towns

26/02/2012 - DAPA, Siargao Island, Surigao del Norte, Philippines – At least 16 organizations in various communities of the three towns on this “paradise island” received some P2.9 million assistance from the government’s Self-Employment Assistance-Kaunlaran (SEA-K) program.

The cash assistance was received by the 16 organization-beneficiaries in the towns of Dapa, Del Carmen, and Pilar.

The SEA-K aid was personally handed over by the Caraga Livelihood Unit of the Region-13 office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD-13) Thursday.

DSWD-13 Information Officer Leah T. Quintana said the 16 organizations are composed of some 325 members that benefited from the SEA-K – a national government effort to alleviate poverty.

Meanwhile, Roy Serdeña, of the DSWD-Caraga Livelihood Unit, also said that the beneficiaries will use the financial aid in venturing to other livelihood opportunities.

SEA-K aims to provide the poor and disadvantaged sector of society with timely access to credit and development opportunities.

This initiative was realized during the previous administration and is continuously implemented by the present administration.

In another development, to supply the demand, the City Agriculturist’s Office in Butuan City has dispersed hundreds of tilapia fingerlings to various fishpond operators and fisherfolk.

City Agriculturist Bert Boca said around 500 tilapia fingerlings had been distributed to fishpond operators and fisherfolk in line with the aquaculture project implemented by the city government.

He said the tilapia business is increasing in the city and its neighboring areas in the Caraga Region, prompting the city government to provide alternative livelihood opportunities.

It was learned that event the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) is assisting the fisherfolk in Butuan City in an effort to increase their fish production.

The said activity will be continued this year, as it was observed that the conduct of the program was made successful.

According to BFAR, tilapia is the second most important fish that is cultured in the Philippines, next to milkfish.

In 2006, of the total fisheries production – some 4,408,472 metric tons, tilapia contributed 202,040.56 metric tons or 22 percent.

The continuous study on the development of tilapia species and the use of a number of various culture technologies contributed to this steady increase of the fish production in Northeastern Mindanao, BFAR added. (Manila Bulletin)
