THE DEPARTMENT of Transportation (DoTr) has tapped Palafox Associates to provide consulting services for the Metro Laoag and Metro La Union Public Transport project.

In a notice of award dated Dec. 29, 2025, the department said Palafox was selected for the P93.57‑million contract after being rated the sole responsive bidder.

The project is currently at the pre-investment study stage and aims to develop a modern public transport system for the Ilocos region. The study is scheduled for completion within 12 months from receipt of the Notice to Proceed (NTP), the DoTr said.

Under the contract, Palafox will create a comprehensive transportation masterplan and model, conduct geospatial mapping and condition assessments of existing services and infrastructure, and perform infrastructure demand analysis and capacity planning.

The project will support an industry-wide assessment of the region’s transportation system, paving the way for improved public transit and traffic management.

The DoTr has said it targets the completion of a multimodal transportation hub in Ilocos Norte by 2027, as part of efforts to ease traffic congestion in the province. — Ashley Erika O. Jose

Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America

The post Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disney has made $2.2 billion from filming productions like ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in the U.K. ©Marvel Studios 2018 Disney has been handed $2.2 billion by the government of the United Kingdom over the past 15 years in return for filming movies and streaming shows in the country according to analysis of more than 400 company filings Disney is believed to be the biggest single beneficiary of the Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) in the U.K. which gives studios a cash reimbursement of up to 25.5% of the money they spend there. The generous fiscal incentives have attracted all of the major Hollywood studios to the U.K. and the country has reeled in the returns from it. Data from the British Film Institute (BFI) shows that foreign studios contributed around 87% of the $2.2 billion (£1.6 billion) spent on making films in the U.K. last year. It is a 7.6% increase on the sum spent in 2019 and is in stark contrast to the picture in the United States. According to permit issuing office FilmLA, the number of on-location shooting days in Los Angeles fell 35.7% from 2019 to 2024 making it the second-least productive year since 1995 aside from 2020 when it was the height of the pandemic. The outlook hasn’t improved since then with FilmLA’s latest data showing that between April and June this year there was a 6.2% drop in shooting days on the same period a year ago. It followed a 22.4% decline in the first quarter with FilmLA noting that “each drop reflected the impact of global production cutbacks and California’s ongoing loss of work to rival territories.” The one-two punch of the pandemic followed by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes put Hollywood on the ropes just as the U.K. began drafting a plan to improve its fiscal incentives…
