The Philippines hits 6.8 scale Magnitude Earthquake

Rescuers in the Philippines dug through rubble with shovels and their bare hands Tuesday after a powerful earthquake triggered landslides, collapsed homes and killed dozens of people.
The 6.8-magnitude quake hit a narrow strait between the heavily populated islands of Negros and Cebu around lunchtime Monday with more than 200 aftershocks, some nearly as strong, causing further panic throughout the day.
Local military chiefs said 43 people were confirmed killed, but officials warned the death toll may rise. Dozens of others are feared injured or missing with landslides having blocked roads for rescuers in mountainous areas.
"Heavy equipment we've requested from the provincial government has not arrived yet, because the roads and bridges are impassable," said Senior Inspector Alvin Futalan, police chief of Guihulngan town on Negros that was among the most heavily damaged.
"We are using our hands and shovels to search in the rubble," he told AFP.
Thirty-nine people were reported killed in Guihulngan, a coastal city of 100,000 people flanked by mountains that was close to the quake's epicentre.
The city's public market, court house and private homes in the area had collapsed or were damaged, while landslides buried some houses completely, according to Fatulan.
He said the city's overwhelmed 42-man police rescue squad had been joined by hundreds of army troops and volunteers in clearing debris as they raced against time to find people still believed missing.
"The army (troops) had to walk about 50 kilometres (30 miles) from the last stop reachable by vehicle to reach us," Fatulan said.
Guihulngan is about 90 kilometres to the north of Dumaguete, the capital of Negros Oriental province that covers the southeastern edge of Negros where the worst impacts of the quake were felt.
With rescuers still to reach remote hinterland communities, Negros Oriental governor Roel Degamo said he feared there could be more unreported casualties.
"Sadly, we expect the death could still rise," Degamo told AFP.
Degamo said telephone communications in some parts were also cut off, leaving information from remote regions unobtainable.
He said the public was still in a state of shock and fearful of returning to their homes after dozens of aftershocks.
"We've also had to stop our search efforts from time to time and run to safety because of the aftershocks," he said.
Cebu, the Philippines' second biggest city with 2.3 million residents and a popular tourist destination, was 50 kilometres from the epicentre and shook violently during the initial tremor but no deaths were reported there.
The Philippines sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" -- a belt around the Pacific Ocean where friction between shifting tectonic plates causes frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.

To Travel in CEBU

The Travel Diary: Things to do in Cebu

Besides the countless white sandy beaches and historical sites, Cebu is also the birth place of Christianity in Asia.
The oldest city in Philippines, Cebu boasts more than beautiful beaches, it also has a rich history that Cebu residents are extremely proud of. The "Queen City of the South" has come far from its simple trading port days, evolving into a metropolitan center and major Southeast Asian tourist draw.

Cebu's 167 islets have become one of the country's favourite tourist destinations, with people flocking to its white sand beaches and pristine waters. Cebu's strategic location also makes it ideal for travellers looking to island hop.

Where to stay

Radisson Blu Hotel is connected by a walkway to SM City Cebu mall, the 11th largest in the world.
Located on Serging Osmeña Boulevard and the corner of Juan Luna Avenue, Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu provides some magnificent views of the city and the Mactan Channel. Comprised of 400 rooms and suites, the hotel is equipped with all the modern necessities you could hope for including an iPod docking entertainment system with alarm clock, 37-inch LCD television with cable channels and complimentary high-speed, wireless Internet. All rooms also have the luxurious combination of a memory foam bed paired with down pillows and duvets.

What to eat

The Gustavian offers an ever-changing menu, with delicacies such as fillet of beef with their trademark pepper, morel and gorgonzola sauce, arguably the best in the Philippines.
If you haven't heard of Larsian, then you haven't been around Cebu. One of the city's most prominent eateries, Larsian is located near Chong Hua Hospital and Fuente Osmeña, the latter of which is Cebu landmark, a fountain honouring one of the country's presidents, Sergio Osmeña Senioru.

Larsian is all about barbecue. Offering everything from chicken and pork to seafood, ordering here means choosing your meal from the line of stalls along Larsian then watching your selection hit the grill. To truly experience Cebu through the eyes (and stomach) of a local, this is the place to be. It's opened from late afternoon till sunrise.

Larsian, Fuente Osmeña, Cebu City, Philippines 6000

For something that's not quite as local, The Gustavian serves food that's inspired by Old World European cuisine, interpreted by the restaurant's culinary experts. The restaurant also has a British pub, The Tap Room, which serves imported beers, fine wines and local spirits for anyone looking for a relaxed atmosphere to relax in over a few drinks.

Regardless of if you're in the bar or restaurant proper, you can't go wrong ordering the fish and chips, gourmet cheese plate, sausages and curry chicken.

Where to visit

The world's first and only amusement ride of its kind, the Edge Coaster goes around the edge of the building while riders are locked onto a rail seat.
The Crown Regency Hotel and Towers is the tallest hotel tower in the Philippines, where tourists and locals alike can visit and have some one-of-a-kind activities in the Sky Experience Adventure (S.E.A).

From fine dining to absolute entertainment, the S.E.A features the world's first Edge Coaster and the country's first & only Sky Walk Extreme. There's also a 4D theatre and dining outlets such as the Club 36 Gentlemen's Bar and Sparkz Restobar.

Apart from that, there's the Vivo Gamezone where there's an unlimited access to a rainbow-coloured playroom for the younger ones, as well as the Sky Observatory with coin-operated telescopes and binoculars for a glimpse the city and nightscape.

Another place to take it all in while you're in Cebu -- minus the crowds and buzz - is Tops. Situated 2,000 feet above sea level on the hills of Busay, Tops is an excellent sight-seeing spot, offering some breath-taking views of Metro Cebu and the islands of Mactan and Olango.

World’s 16th largest economy by 2050

BusinessWorld
Posted on January 12, 2012 11:34:00 PM


“STRONG FUNDAMENTALS and powerful demographics” can propel the Philippines into becoming one of the top 30 economies in the world by 2050, global banking giant HSBC said.

The country is projected to be the 16th largest economy by 2050, a “striking rise” of 27 places from its current ranking, the bank said in “The World in 2050” report released yesterday.

The Philippines was also categorized as one of 26 “fast-growth” countries expected to register an average expansion of more than 5% per year.

“They share a very low level of development but have made great progress in improving fundamentals. As they open themselves to the technology available elsewhere, they should enjoy many years of ‘copy and paste’ growth ahead,” the report read.

HSBC’s “The World in 2050” aims to project the gross domestic product (GDP) growth of countries by assessing factors such as income per capita, rule of law, democracy, education and demographic change.

This is the second edition of the global survey, which has been expanded to 100 economies from last year’s pool of only 40. “A larger universe increases competition for the Top 30 and allows us to consider the ‘new emergers’ in the coming decades,” HSBC explained.

Emerging economies accounted for 19 of the top 30.

China was predicted to be the world’s largest economy by 2050, followed by the United States, India, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Mexico, France and Canada.

Taking the 11th to 20th places, respectively, were Italy, Turkey, South Korea, Spain, Russia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, Argentina and Egypt.

Rounding up the top 30 were Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Netherlands, Poland, Peru, Iran, Colombia, Switzerland and lastly, Pakistan.

“This research strengthens the conclusions of the original report, which found that [the top economies] will be countries that are currently ‘emerging’. Our update shows that it is not just the likes of China and India that will be powering global growth over the next four decades. Countries as varied as Nigeria, Peru and the Philippines will also be playing a significant part,” HSBC said.

The survey, in particular, noted the Philippines’ progress in improving its economic infrastructure. Moreover, the fast-growing population is expected to increase the country’s labor force, which likewise benefits from the quantity and quality of education.

“There are some truly remarkable hot spots in Asia... The star performer, however, is the Philippines where the combination of strong fundamentals and powerful demographics gives rise to an average growth rate of 7% for the coming 40 years,” the report read.

HSBC projected that the country would have an average GDP growth of 8.4% from 2010 to 2020, 7.3% from 2020 to 2030, 6.6% from 2030 to 2040 and 5.8% from 2040 to 2050.  by Joeborgz
