Project in Project Management


Brief history

The ABC-Lucena is the Association of Barangay Captains of Lucena that handles all the information of all barangays in the city. The Association is having a difficult time in handling the information of the barangay, such as the efficiency in monitoring and updating of their information or their file management system. They also have problems in the promotion of the barangay or announcing an event of the barangay, thus it can only be known locally.

The association is having such problems. The proponents proposed the “Web-based Barangay Directory of Lucena with Content Management System (CMS). The significance of this study is to solve all problems stated by the Association and helping the announcing of events or their social activity of the barangays, it can also help any people that need the information of the any barangay that can be found here that interest them; to the local people it will help them know the events for that day; for the motorist it will provide road maps for their convenience; to the businessman it will provide the location of where they can establish a business; to the people who wants to live in some specific barangay they chose t will show them all the profile of the barangay. And also the proponents will be developed in creating new strategies in programming, documentation, and data gathering. This will also sharpen their experiences and skills when it comes to project management just like in taking and accomplishing responsibilities.

Gangsters

Gangsters are typically organized criminals who are actively engaged in crime as a group activity or enterprise for power, pleasure, or profit. The visibility of activities of gangsters can range from the low-level such as drug-trafficking or protection rackets, which are prone to be "under the radar", to the in-your-face spectacular, such as the UK's multi-million Brinks Mat robbery. Gangsters often run their operations as businesses insofar as they offer a "product" or "service", albeit an illegal one, or, as is sometimes the case, a legitimate business operating as a front for criminal activity.

Lucena CIty

HISTORY

In early times Lucena was inhabited almost exclusively by Jews who had arrived together with its founders; hence it was called "Jews' City", a nickname also applied to Granada and Tarragona. The Jews of Lucena, who carried on extensive trade and industries, were, according to an Arab writer, richer than those of any other city. They enjoyed the same freedom as their coreligionists in the large Muslim cities. Their rabbi, who was elected by the entire community, was granted special privileges and acted as judge in the civil and criminal cases arising in the community. The Jews lived peaceably until the Almoravides came into power.
At the beginning of the eleventh century, several important Jewish scholars lived in Lucena. Isaac Alfasi founded a large Talmudic academy in Lucena, and here also Isaac ibn Ghayyat, Isaac ibn Albalia, and Joseph ibn Migash were prominent.
Lucena was taken from the Moors early in the 14th century; it was in the attempt to recapture it that King Boabdil of Granada was taken prisoner in 1483.
The parish church dates from the ending of the 15th century. Our Lady of Araceli is an image brought from Rome in the 16th century and is the patron of Lucena, canonically crowned in 1948.
The chief industries are the manufacture of furniture, industrial refrigerators, brandy, bronze lamps and pottery, especially the large earthenware jars (tinajas) used in the past throughout Spain for the storage of oil and wine, some of which hold more than 300 gallons. Matches also used to be made there. There is considerable trade in agricultural produce. The horse fair in September was famous throughout Andalusia, but since the last decades of the 20th century there is only a fair like in most towns in Andalusia.
This town gives its name to a city of the Philippines islands Lucena City and another city at state of Paraiba in the northeast of Brazil, called Lucena too.
There's another city in southern Brazil called 'Presidente Lucena.' This name came from Henrique Pereira de Lucena (born in Recife, capital of the state of Pernambuco. He later nominated Barão de Lucena (or Baron of Lucena) who governed the provinces of Pernambuco, Bahia and Rio Grande do Sul at the Century XIX during the period of Brazilian Empire.
The Count of Lucena (Conde de Lucena) is S.E. Don Hugo O'Donnell, Duke of Tetuan, a Grandee of Spain.
Another famous person from Lucena was Abraão de Lucena (in Portuguese) or Abraham of Lucena (in English), a rabbi who founded the first synagogue in the USA. He lived in Recife (Brazil) in the sixteenth century before travelling to New Amsterdam (New York) where he died.


Location

Bounded on the north and northeast by the Municipality of Pagbilao, on the south and southeast by the Tayabas Bay, on the southwest by the Municipality of Sariaya, and on the northwest by the municipality of Tayabas, Lucena City at the Southeastern part of Quezon Province is approximately 137 kilometers southeast of Manila via the Philippine-Japan Friendship Highway.
As one of the busiest fishing ports and a major domestic passenger seaport in Luzon, Lucena has become a gateway to Southern Tagalog, Metro Manila and other parts of Mainland Luzon from the Bicol region and the island provinces of Marinduque, Masbate, Palawan, and Romblon. The City is linked to its neighboring towns, cities, and provinces through various transport networks--roads, railways, sea and air.Land AreaThe land area of Lucena is small--approximately 8,315.73 hectares. This represents 0.95% of the provinces and 15% of the district total land areas. About 97.9% of the total land area of Lucena belongs to barangays outside the city proper. The biggest five of which are Mayao Castillo, Ibabang Iyam, Isabang, Mayao Silangan, and Ibabang Dupay that makes up almost 40% of the City’s total land area.
Topography Lucena is situated on a flat terrain with slightly rolling hills. The greatest part of the land has a slope of 0 to 3%. Slope of 10 to 20% comprise only a little portion of the land. Nine rivers and six creeks serve as natural drainage for the city. The City is wedged between two big rivers, the Dumacaa River in the eastern part, which abounds with boulders, and Iyam River in the west which has an abundant deposit of gravel and sand. There are few marshes along the seacoast, because most of them have been converted into fishponds.Political Subdivision

SEO/SEM

Organic SEO and SEM

Organic, ethical, or natural, SEO and SEM are methodologies used to make a web site more visible. This optimization uses techniques which allow each page to be found by the computer robots to the site - and more importantly - to be appealing, informative and interesting to the human visitors.

There are many tactics and strategies available to optimize (optomize) a site. SEO (search engine optimization) and SEM (search engine marketing) have a wide range of tools.

But what is the best way to optimize a site? Using Organic SEO and SEM.

Why is organic SEO and SEM the best way? Because the primary focus is on the human searchers - your potential customers.

And another major focus is on the search engines. An ‘organic’ site likely can withstand the ever-changing algorithms of the search engines better than a lower quality site.

And a third major focus is on your visibility. Because no matter how good your products or services are, and no matter how beautiful your web pages are –
What is Organic SEO?

Organic SEO (search engine optimization) encompasses the philosophy of presenting quality and value for the searchers. No deceptive tricks are used to trick anyone to visit. And besides - you don’t want just visitors - you want targeted potential customers. Interestingly organic seo is also widely called ethical seo - for obvious reasons.

There are two main categories for the techniques to be put in place. The first is “on-site optimizing” - whose main concern is the presentation of quality content. It should be informative, interesting and useful. Once the content is in place - instructions to the search engine spiders are coded and placed on the page. Then both are tweaked until there is a high correlation between what the humans see and the code that the spiders see.

To draw a specific audience - keywords are selected to attract viewers. Thorough expert analysis is needed to ensure focus, adequate numbers of searchers looking for those terms, and who the competition for those words is. Are you competing against 10 rivals or a thousand? Are there 100 potential customers or a million? Once determined - the keywords are entered onto the appropriate computer tags.

The second technique is “off-site optimizing” which deals with promotion and marketing your business on other urls. Keyword-rich links are submitted to search engines and directories. Articles may be written and syndicated. Related, usually non-competitors may trade banners with you. ‘Link farms and questionable domains are avoided.”

What is Organic SEM?

Organic SEM (search engine marketing) is a broader range of economical actions which may be employed to promote a web site. SEO is a major subset of SEM.

Examples of SEM include Classified Ads, Email marketing, placing text-links, search engine sponsorships, affiliate marketing and press releases. Each have their own costs (some are free). Each has their own function. But ultimately they are all used to spread your message on the Internet.

CMS (Contenet Management System)

What is CMS?

A content management system (CMS) is a system used to manage the content of a Web site. Content management systems are deployed primarily for interactive use by a potentially large number of contributors. For example, the software for the website wikipidia is based on a wiki, which is a particular type of content management system. For the purposes of this page, Content Management means Web Content Management. Other related forms of content management are listed below.

The content managed includes computer files, image media, audio files, electronic documents and web content. The idea behind a CMS is to make these files available inter-office, as well as over the web. A Content Management System would most often be used as an archive as well. Many companies use a CMS to store files in a non-proprietary form. Companies use a CMS to share files with ease, as most systems use server-based software, even further broadening file availability. As shown below, many Content Management Systems include a feature for Web Content, and some have a feature for a “workflow process”.

“Work flow” is the idea of moving an electronic document along for either approval, or for adding content. Some Content Management Systems will easily facilitate this process with email notification, and automated routing. This is ideally a collaborative creation of documents. A CMS facilitates the organization, control, and publication of a large body of documents and other content, such as images and multimedia resources.

A web content management system is a content management system with additional features to ease the tasks required to publish web content to web sites.
