Flood control, at last… A massive drainage overhaul is going on at the RPSr Avenue to solve the perennial flooding at the central business district of Mambulao town. A small, tame typhoon rolling across town is more than enough to submerge the streets around the South Poblacion where the public market, the Mambulao Grand Mall, and other public amenities of convenience are located. Just imagine the sheer damage the floodwaters could do to the business activities in the area. A day of no business in this section of the Poblacion  is also a bad day for Mamboleños who may want to go shopping for household needs. But when the business around the area is going great, the coffers of the local government benefit, which for sure would also benefit public spending. And funds would always go to where sensible spending is badly needed, just like what the good Mayor Ariel M. Non has always kept in mind since taking over the helm of the Mambulao government two years ago. Indeed, this massive drainage work is one of the many public works of the LGU that makes the hearts of all Mamboleños go a-flutter -- by just looking at it for a moment. – Alfredo P Hernandez (Photo courtesy PIO-Mambulao)

Municipal Bonds could boost  Mambulao’s funding for development projects   By PERCY OSTONAL MWB uzz Marketing Director   The government of Mambulao can free itself from debt loans from government financing institutions (GFIs) by issuing Municipal Bonds to fund its projects and social initiatives. The LGU may issue municipal bonds to raise funds for infrastructure, roads, airports, public markets, schools, new basketball courts, fish port, sewer canal expansion, job-making projects, and so on. When a citizen of Mambulao buys an MB, he or she is loaning money to the LGU in exchange for a set number of interest payments over a predetermined period. At the end of that period, the bond reaches its maturity date and the full amount in the bondholder’s original investment is returned to him plus interest income. There is nothing new about MB as it has been used by local governments for years, but its effect could offer renewed hopes to the people and the community. With Mun

The iconic signage Turayog would soon rival Hollywood signage. Iconic, giant signage for  Turayog Place planned By ALFREDO P HERNANDEZ Turayog Place plans to install a giant signage “Turayog” to rival the giant icon “Hollywood” in Hollywood, California. The letters of the planned Turayog signage will stand 10 feet high and three feet wide. Painted white, it will be facing the panoramic Mambulao Bay. At that height, the Turayog signage would be very visible from the road going to Larap about two-and-half- kilometers away.  A new couple highlights their wedding day with a picturesque pose at the Turayog view deck . Says its Hawaii-based Elsie Suobiron: Every time they see the Turayog icon from a distance of two kilometers, they would have a craving to come to this mountaintop hideaway. “I believe that one day, it will become one of the tourism icons in Bicol region,” Suobiron told MWBuzz online newsletter. The iconic Hollywood signage was built many decades ago to promote pr
