ILOILO VIRE ... ÉCOLOGIQUE ?

Il pourrait s’agir d’une excellente initiative, à la condition toutefois qu’il ne s’agisse pas uniquement d’essayer de racketter les propriétaires d’immeubles qui ne mettraient pas en place de racks destinés à parquer  les vélos et bicyclettes. De plus l’écologie est dans l’air du temps.


Par contre, sauf mauvaise lecture de ma part, je n’ai rien lu concernant les facilités que la municipalité pourrait mettre en place afin de faciliter la mise en œuvre ce projet. Voies et pourquoi pas rues réservées au cycliste, panneaux de signalisation, vitesse limitée des autres véhicules, voire interdiction de circuler pour certains types de véhicules, etc.

L’on parle dans cet article beaucoup d’engagements des tiers, mais pas de ce que doit ou va faire la municipalité pour faciliter ce projet. Quand on connait la circulation chaotique qui sévit dans la majorité des villes philippines et le manque de discipline de nombreux conducteurs, je demeure inquiet pour la sécurité des cyclistes, plus spécialement les enfants.

ILOILO City is vying to become a bike-friendly city by promoting the use of bicycles for daily transport to work and school or simply for leisure.

The City Council committee on transportation held Friday, April 4, the proposed ordinance filed by councilor Jose Efrain Treñas requiring government and non-government buildings with existing parking spaces to provide a safe bicycle parking zone.

Treñas said the recent bike festival held last March 30, 2014 showed success and appreciation by people on the use of bicycles.



Treñas said the bike festival launched into consciousness of the Ilonggos the “share-a-road” movement and the need to promote biking as an alternative healthy and environmentally sound mode of transportation.

Treñas said his proposed measure will urge the City Government to require building and establishment owners with existing parking spaces to allot a portion thereof as parking area for bicycles and to install bike racks for their employees, customers, clients, visitors and guests.

The ordinance stated that bicycle racks must be provided by the building owners and must be made out of sturdy metal or aluminum securely attached to the pavement. Bike owners must provide their own locks to secure their own bicycle when parked on the bicycle rack.

Building owners not complying with the provisions of the ordinance shall be penalized as follows: first offense with a notice of warning and within one month must comply by providing a bicycle rack, according to the ordinance.

Second offense will have a fine of P3,000 with another inspection within one month. Third offense will have a fine of P5,000 and revocation of business or leaser permit.

The proposed ordinance will be taken up next week for first reading by the City Council.

RESIDENCE DE L'AMBASSADEUR DE FRANCE ... AUX PHILIPPINES !

Image
Rare qu’un Ambassadeur de France ouvre les portes de sa résidence en dehors du 14 juillet.  Suffisamment rare tout du moins pour que j’en fasse un post. Petite aparté, tout ceci est payé, directement ou indirectement, par vos impôts. Profitez en bien, compte tenu de l’état des finances du pays, il se pourrait bien que d’ici quelques années le patrimoine du ministère des affaires étrangères soit mis en vente afin de combler une dette devenue abyssale. A quand le passage des résidences de nos ambassadeurs sous le contrôle des Qatari ou des Chinois ? Les paries sont ouverts. En ce qui concerne les Philippines, passer d’une superbe villa située à  Forbes Park, pour un trois pièces sur Quiapo, Tondo ou Binondo, ils risquent d’apprécier le changement nos diplomates ! Home to French ambassadors, the Embassade de France in Makati is a modern residence with elements of history and culture. The architecture bears some elements of the plantation style such as the p

LE ''BALISONG'' ... VOUS CONNAISSEZ ?

Image
Des couteaux papillons, fabriqués dans la province de Batangas, au sud de Manille. BUTTERFLY KNIVES The blade that defines the Batangueno if there is a landmark worth erecting in Batangas province in northern Philippines, it would be the sculpture of the balisong (fan knife) that  has defined the unique art, craft, and culture of Batanguenos for centuries. Though Barangay Balisong in Taal town, also known as the balisong capital of the Philippines, is now suffering from the dwindling supply of knife experts, Diosdado Ona, owner of the Ona Blades store, sees a chance of reviving the dying industry. "I think if the government would support the balisong industry, and promote it by putting up the fan knife landmarks in all the entrances to the province such as Laguna, Cavite, and Quezon, people will know and appreciate the industry," Ona said. In front of Ona's store along the highway of Barangay Balisong is a six-foot balisong. He said the fan knife industry is
