Total blackout in Dinagat, Siargao Islands due to ‘Basyang’

Posted on by

Tropical storm Basyang placed the province of Dinagat Islands and Siargao Islands into total darkness.

According to Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Councils (PDDRMCs) of Dinagat Islands and Surigao del Norte, typhoon Basyang toppled down several trees and some electric posts when the storm struck at 6 p.m. in Siargao Island and 7:45 p.m. at Dinagat Islands on Friday.

Dinagat Provincial Information Officer Jane Mayola said 1,220 families or nearly 3,000 people were evacuated from coastal areas before the storm hit the province after Governor Glenda Ecleo ordered forced evacuation especially in high risk areas.

She said engineers and technical men of Dinagat Islands and Siargao Islands Electric Cooperative Inc. were already instructed by General Manager Sergio Dagooc to redouble their effort in restoring the power in the four most affected towns of the province.

As requested by Surigao del Norte Governor Sol F. Matugas, the general manager of the electric cooperative also ordered the immediate restoration of all tourism areas in Siargao Islands where many foreign tourists are housed in several resorts, hotels and inn.

At least 500 families or nearly 1,800 people were also evacuated.

An estimated 2,000 families in the mainland municipalities of Surigao del Norte were also brought by the PDRRMC rescue teams to various evacuation centers before typhoon Basyang struck the province.

Our people are safe and no recorded casualty when Basyang left our province, said Matugas, as she instructed the provinces social welfare office to continue extending assistance to evacuees.

The Surigao City CDRRMC chaired by Mayor Ernesto T. Matugas also reported on Saturday that 778 families or 1,115 people are temporarily sheltered at various evacuation centers in the city before Basyang hit the city early Friday night.

On the other hand, the PDRRMC in Surigao del Sur chaired by Gov. Johnny T. Pimentel, also reported that nearly 3,000 families in the whole province, particularly in the cities of Tandag and Bislig and Hinatuan town were already evacuated to various evacuation centers before Basyang landed in Siargao.

Discovering the beauty of the Camotes Islands by accident

DISCOVER CAMOTES. A small group of islands in the Visayan sea, the Camotes islands are ripe for discovering.

MANILA, Philippines The words below are the writers account of how post-Sinulog plans gone wrong led to the accidental discovery of a hidden island paradise.

Its 7:30 am, the morning after Sinulog and Im completely alone.

By some miscommunication with my friends, I woke up at the hostel completely alone, except for some hostel roommates I had met only the day before.

One thing I did not have: an itinerary.

In this state of flux, I somehow managed to get an invitation to visit the Camotes islands from one of my hostel roommates. With absolutely no idea where it was in Cebu, how long it would take, and what I would see there, I responded with a resounding yes.

It ended up being one of the highlights of my entire trip, though it was not without its share of hurdles, bad weather being one of them.

Here are a few of my takeaways that you might find useful:

1. The middle of nowhere is not that far

Man washes up in Marshall Islands

Posted on by

An emaciated man whose boat washed up on a remote Pacific atoll this week claims he survived 16 months adrift on the Pacific, floating more than 12,500 kilometres from Mexico, a researcher says.

The man, with a long beard and hair, was discovered on Thursday when his 7.32-metre fibreglass boat with propellerless engines floated onto the reef at Ebon Atoll in the Marshall Islands and he was spotted by two locals.

'His condition isn't good, but he's getting better,' Ola Fjeldstad, a Norwegian anthropology student doing research on Ebon, said by telephone.

Fjeldstad said the man, dressed only in a pair of ragged underpants, claims he left Mexico for El Salvador in September 2012 with a companion, who died at sea several months ago.

Details of his survival are sketchy, Fjeldstad added, as the man only speaks Spanish, but he said his name was Jose Ivan.

'The boat is really scratched up and looks like it has been in the water for a long time,' said the researcher.

'He has a long beard and hair.'

Ivan indicated to Fjeldstad that he survived by eating turtles, birds and fish and drinking turtle blood when there was no rain.

No fishing gear was on the boat and Ivan suggested he caught turtles and birds with his bare hands.

There was a turtle on the boat when it landed at Ebon.

Health Care Reputation Management Firm Fat Brain Interactive Launches Online Reputation Consulting Services for …

Posted on by

West Palm Beach, Florida (PRWEB) January 31, 2014

Fat Brain Interactive, an online reputation-consulting agency with seasoned search and marketing staff focused on high-end clients, has announced that it is now offering services for organizations and professionals in the health care field.

The West Palm Beach firm is made up of experienced reputation management and search engine consultants who have years of experience in the fields of public relations, crisis communications, search engine optimization and content enhancement. They help medical professionals and health care organizations protect and boost their online reputations by effectively managing risks and maintaining positive online relationships.

The world of health care is constantly changing due to reforms, increased competition, new data sharing requirements and evolving technologies, and its important to monitor what people are saying about you and your organization online, said Gary Truitt, founder and chief strategist of Fat Brain Interactive. With our web reputation management services, you can effectively enhance your online presence and respond to any bad publicity at a moments notice. This makes building your patient base much easier and more effective.

Today more than ever, patients provide feedback online, typically through social media, blogs and online review sites. In many cases, these comments are negative, and enough of them can harm a medical practice for the long term. On the other hand, some patients leave positive reviews, which health care professionals can leverage and highlight to showcase the level of service they provide, and thereby boost their online reputation.

Fat Brain Interactive leverages a number of proven strategies as part of its online reputation management services, such as thorough reputation assessments, content monitoring and alerts, social media optimization, trademark protection, media relations and privacy issues management. It does so using a multichannel approach that includes blogging, social media, search engine optimization, crisis management and content development.

Patients have flexibility in terms of the health care professionals they work with, and you need to be sure that your online reputation reflects the care and expertise you deliver on a daily basis, said Truitt. Our Internet reputation management services can help you build the positive web presence you need and deserve.

In addition to the health care industry, Fat Brain Interactive works with professional athletes, attorneys, business executives, public relations firms, celebrities and other high-profile individuals and organizations. To learn more, go to http://www.fatbraininteractive.com.
