This is the location map of a new condominium complex between Magallanes and Bicutan.  Woodsville is a project of Robinson’s Land.

What the location map doesn’t show are the SLEX service roads.  Woodsville or Leviste Avenue  cannot be accessed directly from SLEX.  You will have to take West Service Road either through Nichols (Sales Bridge) or Bicutan Interchange.

Sent to AboutPH.com by e-mail just this morning, this location map is one of the very first contributed by one of our readers who apparently visited White Rock recently.  Must be a happy customer.

Someone may find it useful one of these days, and that is why we are posting it here.   (more)

With merely 104 days to May 10, 2010 the most burning debate today is the prospect of having a fully automated election.

Several sectors including the Catholic Bishops, the Makati Business Club, and several noted personalities from no less than the IT industry are questioning the wisdom of still pushing for automation in the coming elections.  There’s no longer sufficient time, they argue, and Comelec is either deliberately misleading us into believing that automation can still work or making unrealistic statements based on false and misguided bravado. On the other side of the fence, supporters of automation would claim that nay-sayers are simply paranoid as they’ve always been.  These are the “usual suspects” who would imagine conspiracy theories and doomsday scenarios for every bit of government initiative, they’ll aver.  They will tell us to rally behind Comelec and support full automation in May 2010.  Finally, they’ll argue that we have to start somewhere and May 2010 is the best and maybe the only opportunity we’ll ever get.

Sa Aklat Sisikat Foundation (SAS) is a non-profit professional Philippine organization that promotes the love and habit of reading in Filipino children. Its vision is to build a nation of readers.
SAS works with public schools all over the country, providing the resources for implementing a Reading Program designed to motivate Grade 4 students – many of whom are at risk of dropping out of school before high school – to make reading a part of their daily lives.

SAS was founded in 2001 together with Petron Foundation.  It was cited by UNESCO as “a well thought out and well-funded reading awareness promotion.” (more)

AboutPh just started a new section exclusively for maps, and we are inviting you to send us your maps for posting in this new section. We’re not talking about regular maps that you can find in magazine stands or travel guides. Those are way too ‘technical’ for our intentions. Let’s leave those to Google Maps.

The maps we want are your simple location maps and directional sketches. Maybe you’ll understand it better this way:  we want the directional sketches you prepared for your guests in your wedding reception, birthday party, etc.

Location maps to subdivisions, resorts, hotels and the likes are also welcome. So if you are developing a property or operating a resort or hotel you may send your location map to us and we’ll post it in AboutPH. (more)
