UEP ECO PARK

UNIVERSITY OF THE EASTERN PHILIPPINES - ECO PARK

Above the RAB Ampitheatre in the area formerly known as "Scout City", but renamed the "UEP Eco Park", is a partly drained lake and the remains of a canoe - illustrated on the right.

During the Xmas period in 2006, almost by chance, I took the photo of Mark shown on the left.

I enjoyed talking to Mark, as he had a good sense of humour, and spoke English very well.

So I was sad to learn of his untimely death, along with some companions, at the lake in early 2007.

Scout City has been the venue of national, regional and provincial boy scout jamborees.

The first World Scout Jamboree hosted in Asia was in 1959 at Mount Makiling, Los Banos, Laguna. There were 12,203 Scouts from 44 countries.

Many of the buildings in the Eco Park appear to be associated with the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

The lower half of this page includes photos outside the UEP Eco Park.

Because I required more than one page to illustrate the University, I have included links to the other pages below:

Partly drained lake and a direlect canoe - the place where Mark was found.

In May 2021 I learnt that Mark Anthony Sumo-ok - pictured on the left, Amber Lou Adongay and Pedro Kim Engo were victims of homicidal acts in February 2007 at the lagoon in Scout City. In particular Criminal Case No C-4409 reads as follows:

“That in the afternoon of February 2007 at the lagoon in Scout City, University of Eastern Philippines, Municipality of Catarman, Province of Northern Saar, Philippines, and within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, the above-named accused armed with a paddle conspiring, confederating and mutually helping one another, with deliberate intent to kill without justifiable cause, did then and there, willfully, unlawfully and feloniously attack, assault MARK ANTHONY ORIGINAL SUMO-OK with the use of said weapon which the accused had provided themselves for the purpose and throw the latter into the water thereby causing the instant death of said MARK ANTHONY ORIGINAL SUMO-OK."

Those accused of homicide were: NICOLE JOHN MENDOZA DIN (NICOLE), MARIONE ESPINA CORONADO (MARIONE), and RICHIE REYMEL PERALTA ROLLO “CHAMEL” (RICHE). Marione and Richie were found guilty of three counts of the crime of Homicide and sentenced. Nicole is still hiding and successfully evaded a manhunt by the authorities.

    Nicole is rumored to have changed his name and worked overseas as a nurse.
    The Decision by Judge Armando L Rosadino, on May 12 2021, can be read below:

The GMA Program is focused on attaining its goals of the Philippines being 100% rice self-sufficient by 2013, and the improvement of rice productivity and income of farmers.

Note: The road stretching between San Isidro to Rawis, Laoang is a legacy from the NSIRDP Project which was funded by Australia in the late 70s. They left their houses at the UEP Eco Park about 1986.	Northern Samar Integrated Rural Development Project (NSIRDP)
