Energy Savings - A Dream?
Since being connected with the DOST Regional Office XI as consultant, one project really caught my attention: the DREAM Team services.
People indeed get very much excited about their saving accounts earning interests. But, the Department of Science and Technology has seen a better idea to invest into something that earns three or five times that of bank interests. You know how?
An "energy audit" is a good first step toward realizing those money savings by making your place more energy efficient, as one could learn from the dost XI Public Service Announcement. Many industrial establishments nowadays are becoming more and more conscious of their energy usage due to increased energy costs. In response to these needs, the Davao Region Energy Audit and Management (DREAM) Team can help the industries in the region in setting energy conservation goals, identify areas where energy wastes can occur or recommend energy saving opportunities - just to mention two among many others.
An audit can show how to save electricity. Or, how about the air condition system or the many costly gaps around doors and windows?
By the way, the DREAM Team is a multi-agency group with members from the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers, the Bureau of Fire Protection, the University of Southeastern Philippines (where I am also teaching!), the University of Mindanao and the DOST Regional Office XI.
I am pretty sure, that a big number of companies will be interested to avail the DREAM Team services. Engineer Benjamin V.D. Estrelladao, the DREAM Team Focal Person, is looking forward to your calls (Davao 082 - 221 5428): from companies, and, of course, also from private house holds.
The DOST XI Energy Audit Team is now ready to serve the region. Happy savings!

Noise Pollution in The Philippines
This post is about my expat's friend Jan from The Netherlands and his observations about noice, sounds, and music in the Philippines - a very welcome addition to my foregoing post about dog barking.
Have you wondered (Jan asks), why Filipinos in general speak in loud voices? And why they all speak at the same time? Have you ever attended a real Philippine party where many Filipinos are? Did you notice that Philippine television and radio are mostly (?) loud?
Questions, questions, questions... and, a lot of answers are here:
from a Dutch expat, who decided to spend the rest of his life in the Philippines.
And so I do!
Dog Owner in Davao City Told to Shut up Dogs or Move Them out!
Living in the Philippines is really wonderful. Loving dogs, my family and I are having also some pets. The dogs in our neighborhood have been really disturbing since more a year. I wish to thank Vice Mayor Rudy Duterte for mentioning the problem in our neighborhood in Bajada, Davao City in this weekly TV program.

General Santos City - Unsolved Killings Here?
Concerned with the rising unsolved cases of killings here and the neighboring areas, Mindanao Development Authority chair person Secretary Luwalhati Antonio has pushed for the assignment of additional policemen in the area.
Antonio, who hails from this city, said in a radio interview that the recent killings perpetrated by motorcycle-riding gunmen were considered alaring and showed the need for more intensified law enforcement and security operations.
She specifically cited the killing of local newspaper publisher Christopher Guarin and of city traffic enforcer Oliver Dayap.
God bless Mindanao and the Philippines!
