Time travelling back to 19th Century Philippines at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar

“May mga bagay na maiiwan natin sa nakaraan pero hindi ibig sabihin na mababaon ang lahat sa limot”. – I Love You Since 1892

The Province of Baatan is one the most historical places in our country. Aside from being known for the significant historical events like the Death March and Battle of Bataan during World War II, Bataan has also transformed itself as a heritage and cultural hub because of Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar which is a heritage resort located in Bagac, Bataan.  

For someone who loves history and architecture, this is a dream come true. I learned about this place from one of my professors in college. I was encouraged when we discussed it in class. I have dreamt of coming here since then. I can’t believe that the “someday” I promised myself finally came.  Each heritage houses here were restored and preserved with pieces from its original structure that has kept its secrets alive through time. It is very surreal. Time travelling to 19th Century Philippines was made possible here because of the heritage conservation efforts of Mr. Jose “Gerry” Acuzar by rebuilding the Spanish Colonial Era Heritage Houses and turning it more than just a resort or tourism destination but also a place for learning history and appreciating our rich Filipino culture and heritage.

This place has also been a filming site of Heneral Luna, Goyo and Quezon’s Game which is why every corner reminded me of it. It was like walking into the film itself and being part of it. If there is a chance that they will be making the film adaptation of the Historical Fiction, I Love You Since 1892, I can imagine it happening here. This is a perfect setting.

We availed the walking heritage tour inclusive of access inside some of the heritage houses, tour guide, welcome drinks, cold towels and free raincoats if it is raining. I will be sharing some of the highlighted structures and heritage houses at the resort as well as some of the things I learned there.

CASA BINAN

Looks familiar? If you watched Heneral Luna, you will remember that this is the courtyard where Gen. Antonio Luna was betrayed and brutally killed in the film. Casa Binan is a replica of the house where Dona Teodora Alonzo, mother of Jose Rizal grew up and lived. You can also feel that a lot of tragic events happened here. After some time, it came to be known as Alberto Mansion. Its house materials and relics were transferred here to recreate the historic house in Laguna.

Each houses once have a small fenced space near the window where they can dry their plates after washing them. Also, they have ventanillas below, a window for more ventilation since electricity, electric fan and aircondition weren’t invented yet by then.

CASA MEXICO

Casa Mexico is a bahay na bato in Mexico, Pampanga. I don’t know why for some reasons, I was attracted to this house. This is my favorite among the ancestral houses at Las Casas. I love its architectural structure and design. According to the story, this house was totally destroyed. However, they were able to save some of its original materials from the junkshop and reconstructed it using old photographs as their guide for its reconstruction. Because of that, it is considered as the “phoenix rising from the ashes”.

CASA JAEN

Casa Jaen was built in 1901 by Hilarion Santiago. It is called the “White House” because it served as the residence of the first mayor of Jaen. Moreover, it bares the crown-like design called “acroterion” or crown callados which is a status symbol saying that the one who lives in the house is rich and prominent. Despite its grandeur, this house also witnessed a horrifying event. Jose Carlos, also a mayor lived in the house, was attacked. The house was strafted from the outside with the attempt for his assassination because of politics. He eventually surrendered by waving a white cloth. The house still stands with the evidences of the gunshots in the bullet holes that marked the horrifying event.

CASA UNISAN

Casa Unisan was owned by Antonio Maxino from Quezon Province whose entire family was murdered. Only the youngest daughter, Carmen was able to escape and survive with the help of their househelper by hiding her in a bayong for dirty laundry. Casa Unisan currently serves as a restaurant offering different cuisines.

With this story about Carmen and her family, I was reminded of the story of the Romanovs of Russia. The animated film “Anastasia” was inspired by the fall of the Romanov Dynasty. It was believed that only Anastasia Romanov and her grandmother survived with the help of a young boy working in the palace. Although debatable whether Anastasia survived, recent results from the investigation of historians has proven that she too died that night.

PASEO DE ESCOLTA

The Paseo de Escolta is a replica inspired from the old commercial structures of the old business district in Manila famed during the 1900s. Currently, it has souvenir stores on the ground floor while the upper floors served as a hotel for tourists.

CASA BYZANTINA

Casa Byzantina can be originally founds in Binondo, Manila. It is a typical structure of bahay na bato that is built to protect the people from earthquake. Its ground floor is built of stone and bricks while its upper storey are made of various Philippine hard wood. It was lease to tenants after World War II and also became the home to 50 families by 2009. It was later restored and transferred at Las Casas to become a luxurious heritage house accommodating more guests with butler service.

CASA LUNA

Casa Luna was built in 1850. It is named after the Luna Brothers, Antonio and Juan. It has also witnessed several significant points in our history. It became a venue for gatherings and headquarter of the United States America Forces in the Philippines of the group planning to capture Gen. Yamashita.

CASA QUIAPO

Casa Quiapo was also known as Casa Hidalgo. It was built in 1867 designed by first Philippine Architect Felix Arroyo. Before it became the first School of Fine Arts of the University of the Philippines, it is where prominent artists like Juan Luna and Felix Hidalgo used to train. The school also gave birth to brilliant artists like Fernando Amorsolo and Guillermo Tolentino. 

After some time, it was transferred to Padre Fausta St. where the building housed a bowling alley, abortion clinic, dormitory, and live sex shows. Las Casas have the building blessed to ward of the negativity because of its past. Currently, the building housed the exhibit of Bellas Artes Project.

CASA BALIUAG

Casa Baliuag was built in 1898. It is located near Baliuag Church and once served as the municipal hall of Baliuag in 1950s. It has an intricate highly floral motif evident in the wood carvings of the fascade. The lower part of the house became the waiting area for Bulakenos bound for Manila. Because many people stood in front of the houses while waiting for a ride, the owner decided to set up a photo studio and post office business.  

TRAMVIA

Before PNR, LRT and PNR, we have tramvias/ streetcar that is steam operated. This is the mode of transportation in various streets of Manila from the late 1800s- mid 1900s. It said that this was once the envy of Asia.

PLAZA DE CASTRO

I was taken by surprise when I saw it in the map and told my friends to see this plaza. I am not even sure if this the one since I suck at reading maps. But I am including this here. I didn’t know we have a plaza here. I feel so entitled and honor to have plaza named after our family. Hahaha joke!

SANTUARIO DE SAN JOSE

This is a replica of Santuario de San Jose, also known as the Balanga Cathedral.

PLAZA MAYOR DE TOBIAS

Of all the stories, I forgot about the explanation for this. It has three women holding different things. I forgot the symbolism in this statue. 

LOLA BASYANG

A homage for Lola Basyang’s timeless tales. Lola Basyang became an iconic image of a grandmother gathering her grandchildren for a bedtime story. Her stories became part of the rich local culture of storytelling that has fascinated generations of Filipinos. Lola Basyang is the pen name of Severino Reyes, founder and editor of Liwayway Magazine.

JONES BRIDGE  

Jones Bridge is just near Lola Basyang’s statue. The Jones bridge is connected to Hotel de Oriente and the other side of the resort with heritage houses. One fascinating detail in this bridge it is that it has statues below of mythical creatures in our Philippine Folklore like tikbalang, engkanto and shokoy.  

HOTEL DE ORIENTE

Hotel de Oriente was originally built in 1889 in Binondo, Manila near Binondo Church. It was considered the first premiere luxury hotel in the Philippines. Jose Rizal once stayed at the hotel after arriving from Hong Kong the moment he realizes it was already too late to go home to Calamba, Laguna. During that time, the hotel is also one of the establishments that has a telephone aside from the Malacanang Palace. When the hotel got destroyed at war, it was restored at Las Casas and became a convention center that can hold up to 1,000 people. It is also where the APEC Summit 2015 was held. This hotel holds so much history.

CASA LADRILLO

Casa Ladrillo is one of the heritage houses that perfectly captured the European architecture. Also one of my favorites. It serves as one of the resort’s vacation houses. It is said that it got its name from the Spanish term that translate to the word “bricks”.

LAMBINGAN BRIDGE

I am not that sure about this one. This is said to be the “lambingan bridge”. When I searched for this, this is what it was called. At the center is like an open well made of steel grills and a romantic place where you can make a wish of the love your hear desires.  

ESTERO DE BINONDO

This is the Estero de Binondo. If you will be availing the package for river cruise in a gondola, you’ll be passing by here. It feels like Venice.  

You’ll get to see the beautiful architecture highlighting the verandas. We often get confused with veranda and azotea/ terrace. The azotea is the balcony that can be usually found infront of the house. While verandas can be found at the back of the house.

LA PUESTA DEL SOL

Another one that looks familiar? In Quezon’s Game, this street was part of several scenes in the film. This is one of the most notable. In fact, most of the scenes were filmed here at Las Casas. I just really can’t help not to fangirl every time I pass by the structures that would remind me of it. Every corner became part of the historic film.  

FRONT BEACH

During summer and when the weather is good, there are inflatables at beach front. Unfortunately, the weather is not that good when we got there. There was a low pressure area so no inflatables. But during summer, it is one of the fun activities here at the resort.

I took photo of this arch instead. Arch of the Centuries? Will it bring me back to 1892? I am having I Love You Since 1892 feels again. This is what happens when you read the book before going to Las Casas. Hahaha

A MILLENNIAL WITH AN OLD SOUL

I grew up fascinated with history and architecture. In fact, it is what really urged me to travel to Las Casas. It became part of my bucket list. I was also encouraged by the historical biopic films like Heneral Luna, Goyo and Quezon’s Game. Just recently, I just read the Historical Fiction, “I Love You Since 1892”. I cannot help but remember scenes from the book and imagine it happening here. I feel like I am Carmela Isabella from the 21st Century who accidentally time traveled to 1892 to rewrite the story of Carmelita Montecarlos and Juanito Alfonso.  

NOSTALGIC

“Nostalgic. I think that is the best word to describe my experience and how I feel after visiting Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar. It gives you this longing feeling for the memory you have there. Las Casas is more than a tourism destination or a resort. It is a place for looking back to the grandeur of architecture in 19th Century Philippines. The conservation efforts for each heritage houses has kept its stories and secrets alive after all this time. May we all learn from history and celebrate our rich Filipino culture evident in these structures. For someone who loves history and architecture, this place is a dream come true. I want to go back again someday for new learnings, experiences and memories to long for again. This wraps my Las Casas Story.” –via Instagram @kyna_dc

SMB breaks ground for P6.7-B investment in Iloilo town

#PHnews: SMB breaks ground for P6.7-B investment in Iloilo town

LEGANES, Iloilo -- The municipality of Leganes was full of gratitude for the PHP6.7-billion brewery facility project of the San Miguel Brewery Inc. (SMB) that will rise in the town’s Barangay Gua-an within two years.

Leganes Mayor Vincent Jaen II, in his message during the groundbreaking ceremony held Friday, said the project will help them complete the three-point agenda of his administration.

“This third point is the progressive Leganes for all wherein we envision big investments, creating employment of Leganesnons and increasing revenues for our town, which in turn will be plowed back towards efficient, timely and competent assistance for Leganesnons of all classes,” he said.

That point, he said, will serve as the driver for them to put together in full circle the other two points, which are “providing quality livelihood and prioritizing the needy”.

The project will rise on a 40-hectare lot in Barangay Gua-an. The municipality of Leganes is located 11 kilometers north of Iloilo City.

Once completed, the brewing facility will have an initial capacity of one million hectoliters.

SMB president Roberto N. Huang said their presence could help in the “industrialization and beautification of the town of Leganes”.

“Our SMB is not just a company of expert brewers and producers of quality products and services but we are all also your dependable partner towards progress,” Huang said.

Ilonggo Senator Franklin Drilon, who graced the event, shared that he met with San Miguel Corporation (SMC) president and chief operating officer Ramon S. Ang together with Iloilo City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas and Iloilo Governor Arthur Defensor Jr. last August 30.

Drilon said he was impressed when he was informed by Ang of SMB’s plan to put up a production facility in Leganes. Also on the same day, they set the Sept. 20 groundbreaking for the project.

The facility is part of the ongoing expansion program of San Miguel to grow its core business, meet increased demand, and bring economic growth and jobs to key regions nationwide.

Currently, SMB has two breweries in the Visayas region – the Mandaue brewery that was established in 1968 and Bacolod brewery in 1990.

“I am particularly thankful and proud that San Miguel Brewery led by its chairman Ramon Ang has chosen Iloilo as the third production facility in the Visayas,” Drilon said.

He noted that two years from now, the project will be providing employment to hundreds of Ilonggos.

Ang, prior to his ceremonial toast, assured Ilonggos that they “will invest more in Iloilo”. (PNA)

A Vanguard of Filipino Heritage

Through an almost literal trip down memory lane, Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar takes the Filipino’s past and rebuilds it to fit the modernized era.

As the country forges its ascent into a modernized haven, the city of Bataan, rich with its significance in Philippine history, backtracks to the authentic heritage of the country’s most notable features of the past. Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, nicknamed Las Casas, a 400-hectare open-air museum and heritage village located in Bagac, Bataan, provides locals and tourists alike the complete experience of life during the country’s Spanish colonial period.

Venturing into Las Casas emits the impression of travelling back in time, evident in its features that are meant to resemble the Spanish rule in the Philippines. Replicating the notable accesoria of the Spanish era, the houses are decorated with European columns and stained-glass windows matched with antique furniture and massive chandeliers, providing anyone who enters these houses that ever-grandiose and Illustrado sense of royalty. 

Spearheaded by Mr. Jose “Jerry” Acuzar, Las Casas’ 62-year-old owner and current chairman of real estate development company New San Jose Builders, Inc., the construction of Las Casas began as a way to preserve the country’s past and embed it permanently up to the future.

Currently on its eighth year of operation since it was opened to the public in 2010, the heritage and convention center is most popular for its collection of restored Spanish-Filipino houses that were originally built between the years of late 1700s to early 1900s. According to one of the site’s tour guides, Roy Gray Madrid, Las Casas houses a total of 57 mansions, with 36 of those still using 40 to 60 percent of its original material and structure. Casa Baliuag and Casa Hagonoy from Bulacan, and Casa Jaen from Nueva Ecija are a few of the mansions taken from their former locations and rebuilt in Bataan. The rebuilding stage is a rigorous process of marking and labelling scaffolds, bricks, furniture, and other items to accurately follow the original model of the houses.

With the slogan, “Pride in the past, hope for the future,” the famous tourist site draws all attention to the beauty and craft of the Spanish-Filipino architecture and lifestyle, while catering to the interests of the current generation.

Immersed in the Filipino culture

Living up to the site’s physicalities, the all-out, authentic Filipino culture thrives in Las Casas. The tour guides, dressed in barongs and sayangs, are adept with a passion for the country’s heritage. Through their knowledge, various questions, from how the preservation of the mansions are maintained to the specific names and artists of the statues that decorate the site, can be answered.

A day tour allows one to experience notable Filipino festivities, with the tour guides and staff encouraging visitors to join a game of hampas palayok, in which the player tries to spike a clay pot filled with treats while blindfolded, as well as place a bet during a round of sabungan (cockfighting). Visitors can also watch a short musical play on the life and works of Dr. Jose Rizal, as the site also houses a replica of the national hero’s childhood home, Casa Biñan. Additional features include mansions with exhibits on World War II and monumental churches in the Philippines.

Meanwhile, Cusina ni Nanay Maria, a delightful restaurant that offers meals based on the original recipes of Acuzar’s mother, offers authentic Filipino cuisine as well. Included in the menu are the classic Filipino meals such as Sinigang na Bangus sa Bayabas and Adobong Pusit, and Gabi ice cream for dessert. Non-profit art collective, Bellas Artes Projects’ contemporary and experimental art installations can also be found inside the Villanueva Mansion built in 1867, which was then converted into the Philippines’ first art school and is currently preserved in Las Casas.

For relaxation and leisure, visitors can spend a day by the site’s beach and catch a stunning view of the sunset. With no venue losing its touch of Filipino culture, recreational activities, such as carabao racing and bamboo climbing, occasionally occur by the beach for people to watch and participate in.

Brick by brick

Every detail in Las Casas is crafted with precision and behind this are the undoubtedly hardworking and talented artists, builders, and workers that turn sketches and blueprints into reality. Though all of it could be easily accomplished through modern machinery, the Acuzars choose to maintain the traditional method of work. From the foundational structure to the artistic decorations, the production of Las Casas is accomplished through manpower.  Not only does it uphold the site’s culture, but it has also provided hundreds of job opportunities to the locals of Bataan. 

By gathering people who center all their skill and talent to one goal, Las Casas has become a tight-knit community. In addition, the employees are encouraged to stay in houses provided by the Acuzars themselves that are just a walk away from the site. Not only has this ignited a sense of camaraderie and kabayanihan among them, it also sheds light on the positive Filipino values that Acuzar himself promotes. 

“Kung andito si Mr. Jerry, aakalain mo isang turista lang din siya. Naka-shorts at polo lang, napakasimple. Tapos pumupunta siya dito sa warehouses palagi para kamustahin ‘yung mga manggagawa,” Madrid said, reflecting how Mr. Acuzar’s humility shines through every time he visits the site.

As a symbol of the Philippines’ pride in its past, Las Casas Filipina de Acuzar continues to imprint a crucial message of the significance of heritage and remembrance for future generations. With the country’s rapid modernization catching up, Las Casas holds firm ground on the roots the Philippines’ rich history and reinvigorates the Filipino culture.

Ocho museos para celebrar (gratis) el Día de Andalucía

Mañana 28 de febrero Andalucía celebra su gran día y es una buena oportunidad para acercarnos a la cultura que nos ofrece la Comunidad. Hoy conocemos ocho museos y conjuntos arqueológicos para celebrar (gratis) el Día de Andalucía.

Durante estos días, más de medio centenar de actividades entre espectáculos, exposiciones, visitas teatralizadas o talleres para todos los públicos, invitan a andaluces y visitantes a participar de la celebración de Andalucía en todas sus provincias.

Museo de la Autonomía, Sevilla

Como no podía ser de otro modo, el Museo de la Autonomía, entre las localidades de Coria del Río y La Puebla del Río (Sevilla) celebra su día especial, incluso más de un día. La Semana de Andalucía se celebra hasta el 3 de marzo en el Museo de la Autonomía de Andalucía con una programación especial de actividades destinadas a conmemorar la histórica fecha del referéndum y también el centenario de la bandera y el escudo.

Para estos días se han programado sesiones educativas, lúdicas y culturales como talleres, visitas guiadas, conciertos, teatro, juegos y espectáculos de circo contemporáneo. Además de estas propuestas, los visitantes podrán disfrutar como siempre de la entrada libre a la exposición permanente sobre el proceso autonómico en la Sala 28F del Museo, la visita a la Casa de Blas Infante o la nueva muestra temporal "Días de Viejo Color".

Museo Picasso de Málaga

El Museo Picasso Málaga celebra el Día de Andalucía con una jornada de puertas abiertas, con lo cual podemos acercarnos al Palacio de Buenavista sin coste alguno desde las 10.00 hasta las 18.00 horas. Allí nos espera la nueva exposición "Y Fellini soñó con Picasso", además de revisar la colección del museo con las obras inmortales del artista malagueño.

Desde marzo de 2017 las salas que albergan la Colección permanente del Museo Picasso Málaga se muestran renovadas, focalizando la atención sobre la constante vocación del artista por explorar las posibilidades expresivas de cualquier soporte. ¿Vas a dejar pasar la oportunidad de acercarte a uno de los museos imprescindibles de España?

Parque de las Ciencias, Granada

El Parque de las Ciencias en Granada también celebra el Día de Andalucía con una jornada de puertas abiertas. Allí se puede disfrutar de un recorrido por las exposiciones permanentes dedicadas al cuerpo humano, a la biosfera, a los inventos e inventores, a la botánica, a la astronomía, la visita al Planetario, al Mariposario, al Acuario en BioDomo (foto de portada)...

Un espacio de aprendizaje y diversión sin límites para pequeños y mayores, donde lo importante es interactuar y experimentar y sin duda uno de los planes imprescindibles en Granada: con sus 70.000 metros cuadrados se ha convertido en el museo más visitado de Andalucía.

Conjunto Arqueológico Medina Azahara, Córdoba

A unos 7 kilómetros de la ciudad de Córdoba se encuentra este importante yacimiento. Para celebrar el 28 de febrero tendremos la posibilidad de realizar visitas guiadas con dramatización para público general en el Conjunto Arqueológico de Medina Azahara. En concreto, se trata de un recorrido a pie (campo a través, se recomienda calzado cómodo) cuyo fin es mostrar el posible e hipotético camino protocolario de las embajadas que acudían a la ciudad de Madinat al-Zahra en el siglo X y el proyecto de su recuperación, partiendo desde el museo.

Las visitas teatralizadas, basadas en los textos históricos, tendrán lugar hoy martes 27, miércoles 28 de febrero, sábado 3 y domingo 4 de marzo, con dos pases cada día (a las 10:30 y a las 12:00 horas), con una duración de entre 2 horas y dos horas y media.

Conjunto Arqueológico de Baelo Claudia, Cádiz

En la ensenada de Bolonia junto al mar nos espera el Conjunto Arqueológico de Baelo Claudia con varias actividades esta semana. Empezamos con una visita guiada el 28 de febrero a las 11 horas, un cuentacuentos que nos acerca a los mitos y leyendas a las 13 horas o la visita guiada amenizada del sábado 3 de marzo a las 12 horas para conocer de cerca esta ciudad romana que nació en el s. II a.C. en una zona altamente estratégica como lo es el Estrecho de Gibraltar.

Museo de Huelva

El Museo de Huelva siempre tiene entrada gratuita para ciudadanos de la Unión Europea y para el 28 de febrero además se realizarán talleres infantiles. En el Museo de Huelva podemos recorrer tres secciones: la de bellas artes o pinacoteca (con obras procedentes del Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla o el Museo Reina Sofía), la de arqueología (que recoge el paso de culturas milenarias por la zona de la provincia de Huelva, desde el Paleolítico) y la de etnología (centrada en la artesanía y tradiciones profanas y religiosas).

El Museo Íbero de Jaén

Es nuestra oportunidad para conocer el recién inaugurado Museo Íbero de Jaén, un museo único en el mundo, dedicado al pueblo íbero, su cultura y sus señas de identidad. Se harán visitas teatralidades hoy martes 27 a las 18:00 h. y miércoles, 28 de febrero a las 11.00 horas. Además, podemos conocer la exposición temporal "La dama, el príncipe, el héroe y la diosa", que a través de estos cuatro personajes prototípicos de la cultura íbera mostrará al público un recorrido por esta cultura que tuvo un amplio desarrollo en nuestro territorio.

Museo de Almería

Otro Museo no demasiado conocido que podemos visitar el Día de Andalucía como excusa, y recrearnos en la mayor y más representativa colección de objetos arqueológicos de la provincia de Almería. La arqueología, desde las primeras sociedades agrícolas y ganaderas a la Almería romana o islámica, el Museo de Almería nos deja un interesante recorrido por la historia y con algunas representaciones escultórica muy llamativas.

Además de estas propuestas en los museos de Andalucía, no olvides consultar tus espacios más cercanos, porque para el 28 de febrero la Consejería de Cultura ha preparado una programación especial gratis en sus museos y conjuntos culturales en todas las provincias de Andalucía. Y hay muchas posibilidades para disfrutar de esta fecha... ¡Feliz día!

Tejerina destaca que 2017 fue un año récord de exportaciones agroalimentarias y renta agraria

La ministra de Agricultura y Pesca, Alimentación y Medio Ambiente, Isabel García Tejerina, subrayó hoy que, pese a que «2017 no ha sido un año especialmente bueno para el campo castellano y leonés», ya que «la climatología juega a veces en contra del trabajo de todos», el ejercicio se cerró con cifras de récord en exportaciones de productos agroalimentarios, en renta agraria y en el valor de la producción final agraria. «Todos debemos animarnos a seguir en esta senda que recorremos juntos, y desear que 2018 sea más benévolo con la agricultura y ganadería de Castilla y León y de España», expuso.

Así te hemos contado el Foro Agrario de El Norte en directo:

Así lo apuntó instantes antes de participar en el desayuno-coloquio IV Foro Agrario, organizado por ‘El Norte de Castilla’, donde recalcó que España cerró 2017 con más de 50.000 millones de euros de exportación agroalimentaria, mientras que cuando el PP llegó al Gobierno en 2011 esa cifra se situaba en 31.000 millones. En cuanto a la renta agraria, es decir la riqueza y el nivel de vida de los agricultores, apuntó que ha subido un 28 por ciento en el mismo periodo.

Tras «agradecer el trabajo de los trabajadores del sector» y poner de manifiesto que «las políticas impulsadas por el Gobierno están dando su efecto», señaló que «en la cuenca del Duero estamos todavía lejos de alcanzar la situación de normalidad, y por tanto tenemos que seguir haciendo una vigilancia, un seguimiento, una planificación más puntual que nunca, para esperar que estas borrascas que nos están entrando traigan el agua que necesitamos para restaurar nuestros embalses, y que la campaña de regadío se desarrolle con normalidad».

Elecciones al campo

Cuestionada sobre las elecciones al campo en Castilla y León que se celebrarán este domingo, recordó que este año 2018 España estrena una nueva Política Agraria Común, que conlleva «no menos agricultores, sino menos perceptores de la PAC». «Las medidas adoptadas por el Gobierno, desde la definición de agricultor activo hasta muchas otras que se sumaban a ella, hacen que ahora, que se acaba de abrir el periodo de solicitudes para la PAC, haya un 20 por ciento menos de perceptores, no de agricultores. Esto es que las ayudas vayan dirigidas a los agricultores, a las explotaciones, que tienen actividad, las que crean riqueza en el medio rural», explicó, además de aclarar que «el dinero es el mismo», puesto que «el Gobierno negoció esos más de 47.000 millones de euros», si bien «ahora ese mismo dinero estará concentrado en las manos de los profesionales de la agricultura».

Calidad del aire

Sobre la calidad del aire, señaló que el pasado mes de diciembre el Gobierno aprobó el Plan Nacional de Calidad del AIRE 2017-2019 (Plan Aire II) para «apoyar a las grandes urbes de España, que son las que son competentes, tienen la responsabilidad y por lo tanto, deben actuar». «Nosotros nos sumamos y apoyamos, pero las competencias en materia de calidad del aire pertenecen a los ayuntamientos», detalló antes de recalcar que «España no tiene un problema generalizado de calidad del aire».

«Tenemos cinco infracciones por las cuales acudimos la secretaria de Estado la semana pasada a rendir cuentas a la Comisión Europea, pero dos de ellas son en Avilés por un problema de ubicación de donde se mide la contaminación, y otro en un pueblo de Jaen, en Villanueva del Arzobispo; esas dos situaciones en vías de solución, si bien hay un problema cierto en Madrid y Barcelona, con lo cual es mucha la población afectada», argumentó.

Con el propósito de «ayudar a los ayuntamientos a cumplir con sus obligaciones», el Gobierno acaba de aprobar un plan con 50 medidas, con un importe superior a los 275 millones de euros, algo que se suma al Plan Aire aprobado la pasada legislatura. «Hemos invertido más de 1.200 millones de euros en renovar la flota de vehículos, hacia vehículos menos contaminantes, más de 2.000 millones de euros para la eficiencia de los edificios, por tanto desde el Gobierno estamos ayudando a los ayuntamientos, pero también les pedimos que den respuesta a la responsabilidad que tienen sobre la salud de las personas», expuso.

Nuevos embalses

García Tejerina también se pronunció sobre la petición de Castilla y León, que reclama nuevas infraestructuras para aumentar la capacidad de embalsamiento del agua. Así, afirmó que en la pasada legislatura, el Ejecutivo central aprobó «todos los planes de cuenca de los distintos ríos españoles», entre ellos, y en dos fases, el plan hidrólogico de cuenca del Duero. «En este plan, el Gobierno ya contemplaba aumentar la regulación fundamentalmente donde más falta hace, que es en el Carrión y en el Órbigo. Ahora precisamos una evaluación ambiental favorable de la Junta de Castilla y León. Estamos trabajando para perfilarlo. Este informe nos permitirá seguir avanzando, pero hay voluntad del Gobierno, desde la legislatura pasada, de incrementar la capacidad de regulación en Castilla y León», defendió.

«Los proyectos están definidos, y ahora los estamos adaptando a las exigencias medioambientales,para dar respuesta a las necesidades de Castilla y León tan pronto como sea posible. Son muchas las inversiones en materia de agua en Castilla y León, desde la depuración, calidad de nuestras aguas, embalses que estaban parados por gobiernos anteriores y que hemos vuelto a revitalizar y a acelerar, ampliaciones importantes de regadíos en Salamanca y en León, modernización de regadíos… En definitiva, hay que llegar a un acuerdo, ponerse metas de futuro, pero no hemos dejado de trabajar en materia de agua desde que llegamos al Gobierno», remachó.
