Camsur’s Lago del Rey: Celeb Hotspot

Camarinas Sur has quickly become a summer haven for celebrities and vacationers alike thanks to the efforts Governor Luis Ray "LRay" Villafuerte who has adopted a different approach in promoting his province. Camsur has grown as a world-class tourist destination for adventurers and "extreme sports" lovers with activities like wakeboarding, 4x4 off-road driving, motocross and mountain bike riding competitions available in and around the Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC).

"Camarines Sur is known for the various Survivor international series being filmed in Caramoan, and the past series were Survivor France, Israel, Serbia and Turkey. Right now, there are three countries filming in Caramoan... In fact, nag-aagawan sila. Dati kasi, one country per season." But Gov. LRay was not at liberty to disclose the names of the country.

"My commitment to Aquafest is to make it a different experience every year for the participants. And this year, it's gonna be a Survivor theme. While the international participants of the actual Survivor are competing in Caramoan against each other, tayo, we are here just to experience Camsur and have fun.” added Governor LRay.

"This year's Kaogma Festival, the annual week-long celebration of the foundation day of Camarines Sur, coincided with the 5th Philippine Wakeboard Nationals competition and the Lago del Rey Summer Aquafest. The wakeboard nationals has been drawing cable-pulled wakeboarding enthusiasts from all parts of the globe for five years now, while the Aquafest is an event the young governor started only last year for his friends in showbiz and the press.

Gov. Villafuerte’s initiatives have caused the most influx of the biggest and the brightest stars of all networks to CamSur never before experienced in the province. The festival drew in a slew of showbiz personalities by the likes of Michelle Madrigal, Jon Hall, Isabelle Daza, LJ Moreno, and Jeremy Marquez brought in by the convivial Marilen Nuñez of Len Plus Inc.

World body holds NOYNOY on vow to fight CORRUPTION

The Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption, or Gopac, has called on President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino 3rd to deliver on his promises that he would rid government of corruption and keep his administration off government coffers, Sen. Edgardo Angara reported over the weekend.

Aquino's campaign platform in the May 10 election focused on stopping corruption and bringing positive change in Philippine bureaucracy.

Angara attended a recent executive committee meeting of Gopac in Canada during which he was asked by the executive board to convey their call to the newly elected Aquino and his administratin.

Gopac is the only parliamentary network with the singular focus on combating corruption. Its current 900-strong membership represents over 90 countries in all the regions of the world.

Angara, who sits in the executive board of the Canada-based organization, said the group voted to hold its biennial conference in 2013 in Manila.

“Hosting a conference that would gather the world’s parliamentarians to unite behind fighting corruption perfectly fits the Aquino agenda of fighting corruption in the government. This would be an opportunity to link up with parliaments all over the world who are confronting the same challenge of eliminating corruption from our institutions,” he said.

He himself called for a national strategy to fight corruption, involving both the public and private sectors.

“Multilateral institutions like the World Bank, IMF [Inetrnational Monetary Fund] and ADB [Asian Development Bank] have long come to the conclusion that there is a linear relationship between corruption and development, that the public sector cannot do it alone, the private sector and civil society must get firmly on board. But most important, there should be a national strategy so that the various sectors can perform their roles in a concentrated and coordinated manner,” he said.

Philippine Ambassador to Canada Jose Brillantes supported and provided necessary staff support during the executive board meeting and welcomed the hosting of Gopac’s biennial conference in Manila.

In September of this year, the group will hold a meeting of its global taskforce committee in Manila that will be hosted by the Philippine Senate.

As the only Asian representative in Gopac’s executive board, Angara initiated the organization in April 2005 of the Southeast Asia Parliamentarians Against Corruption, or Seapac, with 26 parliamentarian-members from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.

Gopac’s founding conference was held in Ottawa 2002, followed by its second Global Conference in Arusha, Tanzania, in 2006, then in Kuwait 2008 and the most recent conference in Mexico City in 2009. BY FRANCIS EARL A. CUETO
