LOOK: ‘Sea Ambulance’ launched in Bantayan, Cebu

The Municipality of Bantayan Island in northern Cebu recently launched the ‘sea ambulances’ donated by the Department of Health (DOH) in response to transport patients who require urgent emergency situations.

Photo from Municipality of Bantayan, Cebu Facebook Page

A sea ambulance is a boat equipped with basic life support equipment such as oxygen, a resuscitator, a defibrillator, and immobilization devices so that those who have suffered significant injuries can be stabilized and brought faster to a hospital.

The arrival of the medical units is good news for patients who needed to be transported to major tertiary hospitals in Cebu City and Mandaue City.

The municipality of Liloan will also have their sea ambulance that will transport patients not only from the town but also from the nearby island of Camotes.

According to a local official, the government has already assembled at least 30 sea ambulance units and will be delivered to Liloan “soon.”

NBA Mop Boy & Floor Sweeper’s Average Salary is P4 Million in 2022

NBA Mop Boy & Floor Sweeper’s Average Salary is P4 Million in 2022

The average salary of an NBA floor cleaner in the United States (US) this 2022 is $80,000 per year.

Yes. You didn’t read it wrong. A mop boy in the National Basketball Association (NBA) is earning an average of about P4,115,200 per year. Now if that won’t let you want to mop floors, I don’t know what will.

They can even get paid at most $100,000 that is more than P5 million. It all depends on the years of experience with the lowest of less than two years which is $39,000 (P2M+) per year, more than that is $80,000 (P4M+) per year and if you have more than 5 years under your belt, you would earn $95,000 (P4.8M+) per year.

Now what does this job entails?

A mop boy, sweeper and floor cleaner’s main job are to keep the court clean.
They also must keep the basketball court dry from sweat and water at all times.
Constant mopping of floors as players run around and dive.
Help in setting up the benches.
Loading and unloading gears may also be part of the work.

Now to be hired as an NBA floor cleaner is much more careful than we think it is. It’s not just showing up but it is essential that you have the required set of skills, experience, and education.

Each team has different methods in hiring but one thing is for sure that would help is make an impression.

If you’re interested in working here though, you can visit NBA.com and look for their vacancies or go to indeed.com and LinkedIn as well.

We might be surprised and in awe of the salary but it is a physically demanding job as well. Though for us Filipinos it is already very big considering how the most hardworking people in this country don’t earn that much.

Cebuana Single Mom built Dream House without borrowing money

Cebuana Single Mom built Dream House without borrowing money

Raising a kid is surely hard enough but raising them with no partner is a struggle indeed.

Being a single mom did not deter Wendee Arriesgado from Cebu to provide a beautiful home to her three children though.

With an estimated total expense of P700,000, she built her two-story dream house. What’s pretty impressive about this is that she built this from her own salary savings and not a loan.

Wendee shared that the budget and discipline she practiced to get there were tough.

She was living with her three kids in Cebu City before but soon realized that the living arrangement in a city won’t work for her family. There were rents and amortization to think about every month and as a lone breadwinner, living in the city proved to be too hard.

In 2019, Wendee decided to live someplace in the province where she can build a house and call it their own. They chose Daanbantayan, Cebu, to settle down as she also wants to be near the sea.

Her initial fund was just P200,000 when the construction for their house started. It was late in 2020 when she shared that she worked harder than ever and hustled as much as possible with side projects and overtime.

Wendee was also lucky and wise to find a supplier of construction materials who agreed to a flexible payment scheme (every 15^th of the month).

Her advice is to make good of your word. If you say you’ll pay, you pay. That is a mindset everyone who has debts must have right?

To everyone who is planning to build their own homes, Wendee reminds you to have a concrete plan, monitor finances, and a thrifty lifestyle.

“You have to really discipline yourself, and you have to make it happen, and you have to focus if you want to have that future, na wala kang babayaran, if you want that house built.”

It pays off to be thrifty and careful in your finances indeed especially if you have a dream, you’d want to come true.

It’s official: P12-Billion, 254-hectare Reclamation to rise in Cordova

Cordova is rising economically and literally as another advantageous project will rise.

A P12-billion reclamation project in Cordova Cebu will soon make it possible for this progressing town to become an economic powerhouse. It is said that it will bring forth an economic boom not only for Cordova but for the entire province of Cebu.

Governor Gwen Garcia and the Cordova Shores Development Corporation signed a joint venture agreement last February 4 for the reclamation project.

The groundbreaking and time capsule-laying ceremony of the 254-hectare mixed-use commercial and recreational hub was also led by Governor Garcia along with other government officials and development contractors.

“With this symbolic ground-filling and capsule-laying ceremony, we have manifested visibly to the world that soon, heretofore, visible and invisible reality will start to unfold and become finally the realization of a dream that has been held by so many, for so long.”
Gov. Gwen Garcia

The town of Cordova also has the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway project underway, an 8.9-kilometer toll bridge that would pave the way to so much economic activity coming for Cordova.

With this, the Cordova Mayor Mary Therese Sitoy-Cho stated that the reclamation project or hub will be able to complement the upcoming operation of the bridge which is anytime this year.

Cordova has Mayor Cho’s late father, Presidential Legislative Liaison Office Secretary Adelino Sitoy, to thank as he was the one who expedite the deal for the reclamation project. After that it was endorsed by the provincial government’s Economic Enterprise Council and the Provincial Board and later approve by Gov. Garcia.

Construction Info on Reclamation Project

Premium Megastructures Incorporated and Ulticon Builders will undertake the construction with the project envisioned to be completed in two sites.

Site 1– comprise of the 204-hectare mixed use commercial, business, and residential area
Site 2 – another 50-hectare business and residential hub with an added recreational area that will feature a cruise ship dockside

The construction of the project will have two components. First is the ground filling of the 254-hectare coastal area in the four barangays of Catarman, Buagsong, Alegria, and Poblacion and second will be the horizontal development for the envisioned mixed-use facilities.

Cordova is slowly fulfilling their aim to widen their backyard as what their mayor said.
