City booms with new investments THE
latest additions to relatively big
business structures in Tarlac City are
Starbucks Café, La Maja Rica Hotel and
Globe Telecom Center.
To complement the influx of more
businesses into the city, the City Hall
has started the construction of the
P82-million, 1.85 kilometers by-pass road
that extends the existing Ninoy Aquino
Boulevard through Barangays Cut-Cut 1st,
San Vicente and Carangian to the Agana
Bridge in Barangay Tibag. The by-pass
road is expected to ease traffic along
city’s main business districts.
STARBUCK CAFE
One of Manila’s famous coffee
shops, the posh Starbucks Café found a
new home at the Cojuangco-owned Plaza
Luisita Mall and Commercial Center.
Adding a local touch to
Starbucks’ popular setting is an old
train at the back of the main coffee
shop. Starbucks Café has started to
entice coffee lovers and enthusiasts with
its soft opening last May and full
opening last June.
LA MAJARICA HOTEL
The new La Majarica Hotel, located in
Barangay Ligtasan along the MacArthur
Highway, features a 10-meter x 21-meter
function room, a function room, 40
regular rooms, 20 drive-in rooms and a
swimming pool.
It also has eight commercial spaces
below the main hotel and three big office
spaces on the second floor.
The hotel posted a P13-million project
cost at the Tarlac City Engineer’s
Office, while the commercial spaces
amounted to P3 million.
The hotel opened last July
GLOBE NORTH LUZON
CENTER
The edifice of Globe Telecom’s
North Luzon Mobile Switching Center has
just been completed and inaugurated.
With a registered project cost of
P82.5 million, this facility will serve
the entire North Luzon area of
Globe’s mobile phone services.

- The bandit
group, Abu Sayyaf, struck again,
beheading two of their newly-taken
hostages of Jehovah's Witnesses
preachers. So, was Abu Sayyaf really
decimated by the 6-month long, US-backed
anti-terrorist "Balikatan"
maneuvers? What about the supposed death
of Abu Sabaya?

- After
topping a recent survey on presidential
aspirants for 2004, Raul Roco was
enmeshed in allegations of graft and
corruption as secretary of the Department
of Education, as President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo was merely a poor third
to survey second placer, ousted former
President Joseph Estrada.
Shortly after Mrs. Arroyo ordered for an
investigation on the allegations, Roco
immediately resigned as DepEd secretary,
making him the third cabinet member to
abandon the GMA administration (the first
was former DOTC secretary Pantaleon
Alvarez and the second, Vice President
Tito Guingona, as secretary of foreign
affairs).
