2009 HERMANOS Y HERMANAS PROPOSAL

In a meeting held at the PVHAI Clubhouse last October 20, 2009, the 2009 Hermanos and Hermanas have proposed that they be given the authority to implement the project of finishing the Driveway. They have also proposed revisions to the existing approved Architectural Plan.

Mr. Boy Taggueg as one of the hermanos, stressed that their group is willing to assume full responsibility over the said scope of work including all possible liabilities that may arise as a consequence of such undertaking.

On the other hand, Ed Espiritu as Chairman of the Parish Construction Committee informed the group that such proposal should first be brought up to the Parish Priest, who in turn will present the matter to the Tri-Councils for approval.

The two main points raised in the said meeting is the proposed revision to the existing approved plan and the process on how to implement the said work.

In attendance were Mr. Boy Taggueg, Mr. & Mrs. Laurel, Mr. & Mrs. Arban, Mr. & Mrs. Juan, Mr. & Mrs Canlas of the 2008 Hermanos Y Hermanas, Ms. Gina Cacpal as Chairperson of the 2008 Fiesta Committee, and Mr. Ed Espiritu and Ruben Ramirez of the Parish Construction Committee.

RELOCATION OF SIDE WOODEN DOORS



TECHNICAL UNDERTAKING:

Before the two existing wooden doors on the north and south side of the church can be relocated at the center of the Main Frames and/or Trusses, there is a need to demolish the old columns.







ADORATION CHAPEL

ROOF REPAIRS &/OR REPLACEMENT

Engr. Ruben Ramirez presented two-schemes; one is for the entire replacement of the Adoration Chapel roof, and the other one is for partial correction which involves repair and/or replacement of defective roofs.

Total re-roofing will cost around P89,000.00 while partial correction will cost around P50,000.00.

Although the current budget for the said project is not sufficient, Fr. Greg opted for the entire re-roofing of the Adoration Chapel.

REMOVAL OF CARPET

The carpet shall be removed. Plain colored cement finish will temporarily be undertaken on the floor where the carpet is orginally installed.

WINDSCOOP

TECHNICAL PLAN

A proposal was made by Arch. Allen Aurellado regarding the use of a mechanical ventilation system run by Solar. According to him, this will cost around 600k.

The original plan and details should first be secured from Engr. Mon Santos who was tasked previously to undertake the study for this proposed project.

SIGNS AND BILLBOARDS

STRUCTURE FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS DONATED BY THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

The stucture erected by the Knights of Columbus facing the Parish Formation Center was recently turned-over to the Parish. There is a need to transfer the said structure because it is located in a sidewalk which is in front of a privately owned land. Architect Allen Aurellado was requested to check on the best position to relocate the said structure.

The large tarpaulin of 2.2@22 is currently placed on the said structure.

DRIVEWAY AND WALKWAY

STATUS REPORT
As of June 11, 2009
According to Engr. Ruben Ramirez of the technical committee, the 2009 Hermanos/Hermanas have not submitted their comments. He should meet with them already.
COMPLETION OF DRIVEWAY AND WALKWAY
Proposed Project for 2009 by E.M. Espiritu
The "Completion of the Driveway and Walkways" around the church is the next priority project of the Parish Construction Committee, after the "Completion of the Roof and Ceiling Works", as approved by the Tri-Councils of the Parish.
This project shall be composed of two segments or sub-phase. The first segment or sub-phase is the Walkway around the church. The Walkway is already existing with rough concrete finish, and its current elevation viz-a-viz the church flooring is suited for Finish Tapping. But before this can be done, there is a need to demolish the two existing concrete plant boxes. This will give a more enhanced look of the new church structure without any obstructions.
The second segment or sub-phase is the Driveway in front of the church. It is already existing with rough concrete finish but its elevation is too high viz-a-viz the church main entrance flooring. It this will be finish as-is, the driveway shall be of higher elevation than the church floor which is supposed to be - "one step higher". Because of this, there is a need to demolish the center portion of the driveway to lower its elevation before any finishing can be done.
Once these two segments are complete, the next process is to treat the termination between the Walkway and the Driveway. The current termination is "accident prone" and the temporary measure undertaken by the committee to prevent any accidents that may incur is to place plants. There is a need for a permanent architectural revision on this matter.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
FINISHED TILES TO BE USED:
Architect Allen Aurellado proposed a revised finished tile material to be used for the Walkway and Driveway. Instead of purchasing the finished tile material, he is proposing that these be fabricated.
WAYS & MEANS


PVHA FUN RUN
The Pilar Village Homeowners Association or PVHA has scheduled a "Fun Run Activity" on December 21, 2008. Part of the proceeds will be given to the Parish Fiesta Committee of 2009, which is one of the group tapped to raise funds for the proposed completion of the Driveway and Front Park Project.

The initial proposal is to donate the proceeds to the Construction Fund intended for the said project. Formalities are being undertaken to this effect by way of securing a letter of intent from the PVHA, stating therein that the Parish is a beneficiary of the said activity. Details of the Fun Run shall be given to the Parish so that it can be announced on Sunday Masses.

The proponent of the said activity is Ms. Gina Cacpal of PVHA who also happens to be the Chairman of the 2009 Parish Fiesta Committee.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Mass Announcement for December 7, 2008
By: E.M. Espiritu

In Matthew 10:8, the Lord said, “You received without paying, give without pay.” As God continues to pour out His blessings upon us, let us likewise continue to unselfishly Give for the glory of His Name.

We are almost at the end of completing our construction priorities for the year. The on-going brick-laying and grille works project by the 2008 Hermanos Y Hermanas went into fast phase this week to meet it’s scheduled deadline. What is left are just are just minor finishing touches. They are now in the process of connecting and integrating the new work with that of the previous work, particularly the columns near the decorative side doors. After this, what will be left are just the small crosses for the grilles.

We are pleased to inform you that our 2.2@22 donations have increased this week as compared to previous weeks. As of December 04, 2008, 2.2@22 donations have reached the amount of Php 1,502,425.02 which is now 68.29%. If this continues in these remaining weeks of 2008, we can truly start fresh by the coming year.

The outstanding balance as of December 04, 2008 had tremendously gone down to P697,574.98 which is now only 31.71%. We have received a lot from the Lord, and now is the fitting time to Give as we prepare to celebrate His birth this Christmas.

Marami ang nagsasabi, “Napakaganda na ng ating Simbahan”. We were able to fulfill our dreams because we have never ceased in offering ourselves to God. Let us continue our commitment by way of supporting 2.2@22.

In behalf of the Construction Committee, we wish to greet our beloved Parish Priest, Reverend Father Gregory H. Ramos a “HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND MAY HE HAVE MORE BLESSINGS TO COME!”.
