FDA agents get training from AFP

D

AVAO City - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has trained four armed agents for its Regulatory Enforcement Unit (REU) for the implementation of the agency’s various campaigns.

In an interview at the sidelines of the weekly Kapehan sa SM on Monday, FDA regulatory officer Arnold Alindada told reporters that the four agents underwent training under the tutelage of instructors

from the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

He said there will also be trainings to be conducted by foreign agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) by next year.

“We hope to deploy these people by next year,” Alindada said.

Alindada described the unit to be similar in nature to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).

He added that he himself underwent the training

and will lead the team.

However, Alindada lamented that four people to cover the entire Eastern Mindanao may not be enough.

The FDA official said the agents have been armed to help enforce Republic Act 9711 or the Food and Drug Administration Act of 2009.

RA 9711 was passed to strengthen and rationalize the regulatory capacity of the agency, then called the Bureau of Food and

Drugs, by establishing adequate testing laboratories and field offices, upgrading equipment and augmenting its human resource complement, among others.

It was through this law that the agency was renamed.

Alindada said the agency’s mandate is to help enforce regulatory laws, including the monitoring of medicines and cosmetics being sold online.

He said that at the moment, the agency is still

ironing out its operations and scope of work.

The operations that would be conducted by the agents would be in coordination with law enforcement agencies, such as the Philippine National Police.

The Food and Drug Administration Act established the REU, which is composed of at least five qualified personnel in every region who shall be directly under the control and supervision of the Deputy Director-General for Field

Regulatory Operations.

According to the law, the agents shall be classified as law enforcement agents, bear arms and wear official uniforms and badges.

The agents would serve and execute the rulings, orders and decisions of the FDA director-general.

They would also be empowered to execute and serve search and arrest warrants issued by the courts in connection with violations of the FDA law.

Solon: Coops helping address power problem in Mindanao Bukidnon • Camiguin • Lanao del Norte • Lanao del Sur • Misamis Occidental • Misamis Oriental

By Mike Baños Editor-at-Large

Electric cooperatives are actively helping address the power shortage in Mindanao contrary to earlier allegations by energy officials that they are partly responsible for bringing it about.

“We have been unjustly accused of being responsible for the power crisis in Mindanao by not forecasting correctly and not providing for future increases,” said Rep. Edgardo R. Masongsong (1CARE Party List). “But the coops by themselves have already provided 101MW additional peaking capacity even before the new capacities from coal-fired baseload plants are rolled out by 2015.”

Masongsong was the keynote speaker during the December 8 (Monday) inauguration of the 5.2 megawatt (MW) peaking power plant of Peakpower San Francisco, Inc. (PSFI) at the Agusan del Sur Electric Cooperative, Inc. (ASELCO) compound, Bgy. San Isidro, San Francisco, Agusan del Sur. Earlier last month, Masongsong cited how Peakpower Energy Inc. (PEI) also inaugurated another 20.9MW peaking power plant for the South Cotabato II Electric Cooperative (SOCOTECO II) through its wholly-owned subsidiary Peakpower Socsargen Inc. (PEI) and is set to roll out another 10MW peaking plant for the Bukidnon II Electric Cooperative, Inc. (BUSECO) by 2015.

(DUs) whether private or electric coops, should emulate what ASELCO has done by contracting for embedded generation of peaking plants to address the shortfall during peak demands,” the party list solon said. “Mindanao already has 101MW capacity of diesel/bunker fueled peaking plants which will be operational by year end. This proves electric

coops in Mindanao has been helping government address the power shortage in Mindanao.”

Masongsong cited how embedded generation plants for DUs cut down on transmission costs and cushion the rate impact on the consumer.

“Peaking plants with a load factor of 30 percent running 5-6 hrs a day dur-

ing peak demand does not significantly affect the price of power for the consumer.”

He further cited how the state-of-the art Wartsila units of PEI in General Santos and San Francisco are capable of “flexible baseload” and can operate 24/7 during times of crises using cheaper and cleaner bunker NOTICE

NOTICE is hereby given that the intestate estate of the late JUANITA R.

fuel, thus minimizing the impact on the people’s health and the environment.

“We chose the Wartsila because of two major things,” said Roel Z. Castro, president and chief executive officer of PSI and PSFI. “It is very fuel efficient and environmentally compliant with uses cleaner Euro 4 compliant bunker fuel from Shell.”

“Bringing power to one of your municipalities here, enhancing the investment here, cannot but lead to the development also of the hinterlands,” said Dr. Walter W. Brown, PEI/PSFI Board Chair. “The long range future of this country is not just the development of power projects. Malls are good, but they are not the most important aspect of our country. Most important is to develop the countryside to remove the constraints that provide support for those that fight progress and private sector

development.”

Another highlight of the inauguration rites was the signing of a power purchase and transfer agreement for the next 5.2MW expansion between PSFI and ASELCO which is expected to be rolled out in the next 10 months to address the coop’s growing demand which has averaged 20 percent during the last 3 years.

“We value and appreciate the support we’ve gotten and we dedicate ourselves to looking not only at this project, but other projects that will develop this community, this province, and Mindanao in general,” Dr. Brown added.

The 1st Consumer’s Alliance for Rural Energy (1CARE) Party List represents rural electricity users and seeks to protect them from abuses by power distributors and generators, was granted party-list status by the Comelec on January 10, 2010.

Philippines’ response to “Ruby” ‘admirable’ Although Typhoon “Ruby” flattened houses and claimed dozens of lives, the extent of the damage could have been much worse had it not been for the local governments’ response. It’s not only in my opinion but ons of others too.

The most powerful typhoon to hit the Southeast Asian nation this year slammed into the Philippines’ east coast in the evening of December 6, packing maximum sustained winds of 140 kilometers (87 miles) per hour and gusts of 170 kph (106 mph). The massive storm claimed the lives of at least 27 people, flattened houses, toppled trees, and caused shallow floods in an area still traumatized by the devastation left by last year’s super Typhoon Haiyan - which claimed the lives of more than 7,000 people.

But although the slowmoving typhoon claimed dozens of lives, devastated remote coastal communities and dumped heavy rain, there was relief that Hagupit - known locally as Ruby - weakened as it

travelled west across the central Philippines, passing close to the capital Manila with only a fraction of the forecast torrential rain. The Philippine government also launched a massive evacuation operation ahead of “Ruby” that saw millions of people seek shelter.

Steven Rood, Philippines Country Representative at The Asia Foundation, says in an international television interview the local government’s response and massive evacuations undoubtedly helped save many lives. However, it remains to be seen whether such pro-active stance on the part of the government will now become the new “normal” in the Philippines, as the country faces repeated natural disasters, the expert adds.

It’s still early to tell, but it seems that ‘RUBY’ didn’t cause much devastation.

It is true that Hagupit, while the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines in 2014, was very much less destructive than was Typhoon

Have my say

Klaus Doring

Haiyan (known locally as Yolanda) in November 2013.

Over 7,000 people died then, and hundreds of thousands were displaced.

Infrastructure damage was widespread in 2013, and some of it had not yet been repaired when Hagupit arrived. Thus there was considerable anxiety as the typhoon approached, and relief when the outcome was much less severe than feared.

A combination of meteorological factors and better preparation were credited with this happier outcome.

‘Hagupit was very much less destructive than was

Typhoon Haiyan,’ says Rood Storms ordinarily weaken somewhat when they move over land (and away from the warm seas from which their energy is drawn), but this time the effect was magnified by interaction with the Northeast monsoon bringing down cold air from the north.

Secondly, all sorts of preparation went forward.

One reason agricultural damage was reduced was that farmers hastened to har vest their rice crop before the storm arrived.

More effective mobilization of volunteers and prepositioning of supplies and communication equipment were accomplished - all trying to learn the lessons of last year’s disaster.

Perhaps the most important reason for reduced casualties was the mass evacuation of persons from areas in danger of flooding or landslides.

Characterized as the largest evacuation in the Philippines during peacetime, more than one million people sought shelter in See doring, page A6

VIRGIN OIL & MISUARI DURING MY FVR VISIT I was in Manila this past week and dropped by to visit my “boss forever” President Fidel V. Ramos at his 26th floor RPDEV office at Makati. I recall it was not that long ago that we last met.He was in Davao City the previous month for the BIMP-EAGA event where he gave a big boost to the regional gathering, not to mention his meeting with Davao City Mayor Rody Duterte that kept tongues wagging about the latter being a possible, probable -- but still adamant -- presidentiable.

VIRGIN OIL -- As soon as I stepped into his office, a hot cup of coffee, smelling familiar with a distinctive coco aroma was served. I used to get before in my previous visits steaming hot coffee with a splash of local brandy (Matador or Fundador) that instantly warmed the cockles of the drinker’s insides.

But this new concoction was diffirent. I began to wonder. Before I could take a sip, FVR shoved to me a xerox copy of a March, 2012 issue of the Philippine Star with a caption: “Virgin coco oil boosts sexual activity -- study”. Ah now that answered my curiosity. Just

Advocacy Mindanao

Jess Dureza add a table spoon of virgin oil, he said nonchalantly.

Virgin coconut oil or VCO for short, not only helps increase good cholesterol levels but also enhances sexual activity, wrote STAR author Ma. Elisa Osorio.

She further wrote: “It was an interesting observation that 13 percent of the VCO takers experienced becoming sexually active during the whole durarion of the study”, the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) said.

Obviously, 86-year old (but still active) FVR took fancy at this study result.

And he is not only trying it out but also spreading the gospel. But I must confess though. I was not so sure whether he was interested in the good cholesterol

increase or on the other benefit: as a sex booster.

When I asked, he did not answer but his familiar grin however gave him away!

(Hahaha! ) MISUARI -- During this visit, I was in the company of JACK MOTALIB a nephew of MNLF Chairman NUR MISUARI from Zamboanga City and another friend from Cotabato, LOWELL MACABANGEN. When they learned that I was on my way to visit the former president, they asked if they could tag along. It was propitious. They somehow gave some updates to FVR about some situations on the ground and about Misuari who had a standing warrant due to last year’s Zamboanga City siege. FVR welcomed getting the lastest info on “Ma’as” (the appelation Nur is referred to by those close to him).

When Jack asked if he could take a phone call from “Ma’as”, FVR replied:”Just don’t let me know his whereabouts because I am bound to have him arrested”. Although FVR was saying it on a light manner, he was obviously setting the proper parameters of the phone call with one who was wanted by the law. Evidently, the

nephew was contacting his uncle by phone and Misuari was waiting if the former president would take his call.

We all know the lasting friendship and the long history that went between the two. Remember, they both got the MNLF Final Peace Agreement sealed and signed in 1996. But when the MILF’s comprehensive agreement for the bangsamoro was signed, Nur described it as “illegal” and vowed to oppose it.

He also declared that the MNLF would revert back to its campaign for Mindanao independence. He then secluded himself in a secure place somewhere in Sulu with a warrant of arrest on his head.

FVR got the phone from Jack where Misuari was on hold and then opened up with : “Hello Mr. chairman.

How’s your health? I hope you’re okay. Don’t let them call you “Ma’as” anymore because it means “old”. We are not old yet, my friend”.

There were initial exchange of pleasantries.

The conversation went on and of course I could not hear what NUR was saying on the other line. But there

SouthCot invests P3m in communications gear for search and rescue GENERAL Santos City–– The provincial government of South Cotabato has released some P3.15 million worth of rescue and communication equipment to local search and rescue (SAR) units in a bid to enhance their disaster response capabilities.

South Cotabato Gov. Daisy Avance-Fuentes said Wednesday they specifically distributed a total of 136

standard rescue equipment and 96 communication devices that are deemed vital in search, rescue and disaster response operations and other related emergencies.

She said they released the items to the SAR teams of the South C otabato Provincial Police Office, Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP)-South Cotabato, the Army’s 27th Infantry

Battalion (IB) and the Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO).

“We’re currently upgrading the capability of our rescue teams to make sure that they are properly equipped and prepared to respond to any disasterrelated incident that might hit our province,” she said.

A report released by the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) showed that South Cotabato police’s SAR unit received a standard rubber boat, 16 life vests, 16 handheld radios, eight rain ponchos, eight rain coats, eight rain boots,

two shovels and two fireman’s axes.

BFP-South Cotabato received 40 handheld radios, 18 ultra-high frequency radios with a repeater, and 81 hard hats.

The 27IB got a roll of rescue rope with a total length of 200 meters, 21 handheld radios, 21 engineering gloves, 14 shovels, eight rain ponchos, eight rain coats, eight rain boots, three axes, three mallets, two stretchers and a megaphone.

The IPHO’s SAR team received two stretchers, a standard defibrillator and two automated external defibrillators.

Fuentes said the acquisition of the rescue and communication equipment was part of the two-year upgrading program on disaster response capability earlier adopted by the local government.

She said such initiative is a component of the provincial government’s disaster management plan.

The governor said they had consulted the recipient SAR teams regarding their needs before making the purchase or acquisition.

“We initially asked them to submit a wish list of the priority items that they need and we carefully evaluated them before

pushing through with their purchase,” she said.

Fuentes said they have lined up the acquisition of more rescue and communication equipment for local SAR teams next year.

She said they are working on the installation by the first quarter of 2015 of the province’s P4-million unified security and disaster communication system.

She adde d t hat t he PDRRMO will also launch a series of trainings on mass evacuations after the completion of its ongoing capability enhancement training for the province’s 199 barangay disaster action teams. (MindaNews)

Dureza...

After some exchanges, FVR said: “Mr. Chairman, we can still do many things together for peace and development in Mindanao as we did before. Let’s work together again for our people.”

End of conversation.

I was of course curious what was the answer of Nur

to the invitation to continue to work together. I didnt want to intrude by asking FVR but I could almost hear “Ma’as” promptly saying: “YES. MR. PRESIDENT! Knowing how

both have common vibes, I am confident they can still both get together and work for Mindanao peace and development -- just like old times.

from page A4

But there were moments when FVR listened for a long time and knowing NUR, he must have said a mouthful about his angsts and complaints. The former president listened patiently.

prepared locations - several times as many as had done so before Haiyan in 2013. This was partly due to more vigorous efforts by the authorities, and partly due to a greater willingness of persons to evacuate (given the dire experience of just a year ago).

For me as an expatriate: amazing, how this nation could hold together - far from corruption and egoism. An awesome example for better future time.

A particular long-term need that is only beginning to be addressed in the Philippines is psycho-social support

after a disaster or traumatic incident. This is the one kind of assistance that victims of Haiyan last year cited as not being available to them. The Department of Health and the Department of Education have begun programs to address this gap, but these are at early stages. International experience and resources on this matter would have a great impact over the years; as such disasters happen every year. +++ Email: doringklaus@ gmail.com or follow me in Facebook or Twitter or visit www.germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot.com or www. klausdoringsclassicalmusic. blogspot.com.

Power supply may worsen after Christmas: Surneco SURIGAO City––On to of the two-hour daily blackouts in nine towns of Surigao del Norte, the power situation in the province is expected to worsen some more after Christmas as the National Power Corporation-Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (NPC-PSALM) will reduce the energy it will supply to the Surigao del Norte Electric Cooperative (SURNECO) by 27 percent.

But the rest of Mindanao may be affected, too, as the “decrease in the power supply from NPC-PSALM” effective Dec. 26 “would result to a 27-percent reduction in the equivalent demand and its corresponding contracted energy of the Mindanao customers on the average,” according to the Nov. 5 letter from Beatriz Irina Denise C. Alazas, manager of Electric Trading Department of

NPC-PSALM, to SURNECO. Engr. Narcisco I. Caliao Jr., general manager of SURNECO, said that in the case of SURNECO, reduction will be 3.6 megawatts from the current supply of 13.4 MW from NPC-PSALM. SURNECO’s contract with NPC-PSALM covers the period Dec. 26, 2012 to Dec. 26, 2016.

But “the contract energy may be changed by supplier [NPC-PSALM] annually due to a change in the projected available capacity of supplier’s power plants and at any time during the duration of the contract due to the privatization of any of the assets of supplier pursuant to the Electric Power Industry Reform Act or EPIRA Law,” Alazas further said.

Alazas also said that the decrease in the power generation is due to these factors: 1. privatization of the Mt. Apo Geothermal Plant

in Kidapawan City, North Cotabato; 2. scheduled privatization of Power Barge 104 in the first quarter of 2015; and 3. scheduled shutdown of NPC MINGEN power plants due to planned maintenance, uprating and rehabilitation projects.

Aside from its 13.4 MW supply from NPC-PSALM, SURNECO also gets 8 MW from Therma Marine, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Aboitiz Power Corporation.

SURNECO has a total power supply of 21.4 MW against a power demand peaking at

25.9 MW, and thus a deficit of 4.5 MW, Caliao said.

With the current power deficit, nine municipalities in Surigao del Norte under SURNECO’s service have been experiencing two-hour daily power curtailment since the last week of November.

Surigao City and the municipalities of San Francisco and Malimono, however, have been spared from the blackouts so far. But the 27-percent reduction after Christmas will surely affect the city and all

municipalities, Caliao pointed out.

SURNECO has a total of 78,472 member-consumers as of October this year.

To avert the possible prolonged brownouts, SURNECO officials is negotiating to get at least 5 MW power supply from FDC Misamis Power Corp., a unit of Filinvest Development Corp. owned by the Gotianun family, which recently emerged as the highest bidder for the right to manage the output of Mount Apo 1 and 2 geothermal

power plants.

Caliao said that he and some SURNECO officials will be attending a coordination meeting with FDC in Cagayan de Oro City on Thursday (Dec. 11) to ensure they would get the 5 MW contract.

Caliao added they already successfully negotiated a 5 MW contract with Therma South, Inc., which has a coal-fired power plant in Davao City expected to operate in the first quarter of 2015. (Roel N. Catoto / MindaNews)

MILF ‘settles’ infighting among its field leaders Zamboanga del Norte | Zamboanga del Sur | Zamboanga Sibugay | Dipolog City | Dapitan City | Pagadian City | Isabela City | Zamboanga City

T

he Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has sent emissaries in at least three areas in Maguindanao and North Cotabato where infighting among its field commanders flared up over the week, an MILF official said on Monday.

Ghadzali Jaafar, MILF

vice chair for political affairs, admitted there were “misunderstanding” among field commanders of the MILF in the towns of Buldon and Datu Abdullah Sangki in Maguindanao and Alamada, North Cotabato. ”These misunderstanding have been existing for years

and we have been addressing that,” Jaafar said in a phone interview.

He admitted the MILF general staff is now investigating these infighting because aside from its negative impact on the organization it will become a major stumbling block in everybody’s

desire to attain peace in the countryside. ”If it remained unattended, it may go out of proportion and would affect the civilians,” he said.

The fighting in the hinterlands of Alamada, involving MILF field commanders, left two civilians wounded and

5 killed in Maguindanao ambush A barangay captain, his councilor and relatives died on the spot as an undetermined number of armed men sprayed bullets towards their Multicab in Datu Odin Sinsuat town in Maguindanao early evening Tuesday.

Maj. Jo-ann Petinglay, information chief of the Ar-

my’s 6th Infantry Division, said they received reports from ground troops that the ambush took place as the barangay captain and his companions were traversing Barangay Dimapatoy of the said town around 6 p.m.

Dimapatoy is just a few kilometers from the 6ID’s

camp.

Senior Insp. Datu Tulon Pinguiaman, Datu Odin Sinsuat chief of police, identified the fatalities as Michael Sinsuat Dalidig, chairman of Barangay Dimapatoy; barangay councilor Jonathan Benito; Benito’s wife; and Dalidig’s relatives who suffered multiple gunshot wounds that caused their instantaneous death.

Initial police investigation disclosed that the assailants used various kinds of high-powered firearms, including M-16 rifles, based on empty shells gathered from the crime scene.

Pinguiaman said they don’t have leads yet as to the motive, but said the victims came from the house of Benito when ambushed.

Police manhunt and follow-up investigation is under way, he added.

Maguindanao Vice Gov. Datu Lester Sinsuat, a relative of the slain victim, immediately rushed to the crime scene at that night as he vehemently condemned the killing.

The Sinsuat clan is one of the biggest political clans in Maguindanao.

was triggered by long standing land dispute.

The conflict in Buldon was triggered by a long standing family feud while the skirmishes involving MILF field commanders in Datu Abdullah Sangki were trig-

gered by territorial dispute.

As of posting, the warring MILF leaders locked in dispute remained quiet and Jaafar hope the mediation, the traditional way of resolving misunderstanding, will succeed.

P6M worth of shabu seized in Zambo City apartment ZAMBOANGA City - Police operatives recovered a kilo of methamphetamine hydrochloride, more popularly known as shabu, with an estimated market value of P6 million from an apartment here on Monday.

But suspect Nurhaifa Musa eluded arrest as she was already gone when barangay officials and policemen arrived at the apartment’s compound.

Senior Supt. Angelito C as i m i ro, Z amb o ang a City police director, said the shabu was recovered around 3:30 p.m. in one of the rooms of the apartment along Triplit Drive, Barangay Sto. Niño.

Casimiro said the recovery came after one of the apartment’s occupants noticed a bag that fell beside the comfort room of her unit.

He said the occupant noticed Musa “hurriedly walking towards the main gate” of the compound and “disappeared” when the neighbor was about to verify as to where the bag came

from.

The occupant, Casimiro said, notified the apartment’s caretaker about her find. The caretaker then reported it to Sto. Niño barangay chairman Rogelio Miranda.

Casimiro said the contents of the bag turned out to be shabu packed in 11 large-sized sachets when Miranda and operatives of the City Anti-illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Force (CAIDSOFT) arrived and inspected the bag’s contents.

Authorities reported that the bag also contained three disposable lighters, a pair of scissors, digital weighing scale and P11,050 cash.

Casimiro said investigation showed that Musa, a native of Basilan province, is in the watch list of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).

He said no one among the apartment’s occupants knows Musa well since she moved to the apartment only about 15 days ago.

“I was informed that the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) is now supporting the PNP (Philippine National Police) as to finding the perpetrators of this act,” she said.

“Certainly, we are set on finding who is responsible.

To my knowledge, there are no groups yet that have claimed responsibility. But certainly, the full investigation is already underway,” she added.

Meanwhile, the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Bukidnon also condemned, in strongest voice, the inhumn, barbaric and murderous acts of the perpetrators, the press statement sent by Longakit through electronic mail (email) yesterday morning.

Longakit said the PNPBukidnon has already created a Special Investigation Task Group (SITG) called “RTMI 2640.”

“Under our Calamity Loan program, members with contributions with the Fund of at least 24 months can borrow up to 80% of their total savings.

To help ease the members’ payment burden and allow them to first focus on their immediate concerns in the aftermath of Ruby, the loan is payable in 24 months, with a three-month grace period, at an interest rate of 5.95% per annum, the lowest in the market. Members with existing housing loans may also file a claim for insurance if their homes have sustained damages during the typhoon,” said Pag-IBIG Fund President Atty. Darlene Marie B. Berberabe.

With calamity loans in 2014 averaging P13,000 per member, Berberabe added that the Board of Trustees may approve additional funding should more members apply for a calamity loan. “We will definitely allocate more funds to help more members if necessary,” she said.

LGU in T’boli gets P94m grant

GENERAL Santos City––The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in Region 12 has released a P93.8-million financial grant to the municipal government of T’boli in South Cotabato for the implementation of various peace and development projects in the area.

Josephine Leysa, DILG Region assistant director, said Wednesday such funding represents the first tranche or equivalent to 80 percent of the initial P117.35-million worth of approved projects in the area under the PAyapa at MAsaganang pamayaNAn (PAMANA) program.

She said the DILG central office had endorsed a total grant of P187.2 million under the PAMANA for T’boli town this year.

But she said the municipal government has only completed so far the documentary requirements for the P117.35-million component, which will cover for the concreting of barangay roads in the area.

The municipal government of T’boli also proposed for the construction of community peace centers, day care centers, trading centers and multipurpose buildings.

“We’re currently following up the requirements for the other projects as the funds have already been downloaded to the regional office and are now ready for release,” Leysa said.

The DILG central office has allocated a total of P258.5 million in grants for Region 12 this year under the PAMANA program.

The municipality of T’boli is the only beneficiary of the program in South Cotabato province for this year.

Of the approved grants, the lone district of Sarangani Province received some P58.8 million while the first, second and third districts of North Cotabato got P12.5 million.

PAMANA is the government’s program and framework fo peace and development in areas affected by conflict and communities covered by existing peace agreements.

The program intends to provide communities with projects funded under the government’s stimulus fund to bring genuine peace and development.

It also aims to “reduce poverty, improve governance and empower communities in situations of conflict,” a project briefer said.

The projects that may be funded by the program include connectivity systems, basic services for economic development, agricultural services and industry investments, economic investments in indigenous people’s areas, disaster-preparedness and climate change adaptation interventions.

The fund may also be used as a source of subsidy for major projects of local government units with similar objectives and to finance detailed engineering design costs.

We’re looking at opportunities of upgrading and rehabilitating power plants to increase power supply in this region,” TNB-Remaco business development and marketing Region II head Mohamad Izharudin Ahmad Wahiddin said on the other hand.

He noted that the company is keen on expanding

in Mindanao because of the potential of its economic growth which will translate to increasing demand for power supply.

“If the economic growth is at 5.0 percent, then the electricity demand is also growing at the same level or slightly higher. The electricity demand grows at the same level as the economy.

In developing country, it must have a 30 percent additional capacity that will serve as buffer for any power interruptions,” he explained.

In Malaysia alone, TNBRemaco is already 30 years in the industry catering

It also expanded its serO&M to eight geothermal power plants and three hy- vices to Pakistan, Saudi droelectric power plants Arabia, and Kuwait.

Meanwhile, Ayup noted with combined capacity of that securing power supply 11,586 megawatt (MW).

in Mindanao is crucial for the economic growth of the region.

Citing the MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Economic Research, MATRADE noted that the power crisis was triggered by the dry season which is a threat to the power supply from hydro dams as well as to coal plants due to some defects.

This is crucial for Mindanao as 50 percent of its power supply depends on hydro power plants; with 32.6 percent depending on oil-based power plants; and 10.9 percent on coal plants.

PAIN PAIN GO AWAY PART 2 http://www.chinkeetan.com/

TAN

by CHINKEE

We already understood that pain is really unavoidable; now, let us tr y to further underst and t he P U R P O SE of pain.

Can you repeat these words by s ay ing out loud, “PAIN IS GOOD!” “Say it out loud again! PAIN IS GOOD!” “Chinkee, what are you talking about? How can pain be good?”

When pain is present, pressure is a ls o present.

For you to better appreciate what I mean; imagine yourself being a fruit.

You told ever yone that you are an apple but when you placed it inside the juicer it pro du c e d an or ange juice. The apple was not an apple but an orange.

This principle also applies to us. You profess that you are a strong person, but once stricken with pressure, tremendous stress comes followed by fangs of pain. What will you do?

Will you run away from it or face it? Will you pretend that it does not exist and just drown it with temporary antidote of living a denial life?

Pain does not DESTROY us but it only

REVEALS us.

In s t e a d of a s k i n g God why am I suffering pain, why don’t we ask God the lessons that we can learn from pain?

She was born from unwed parents and soon lived with her mother.

During her growing up years she was transferred under the care of her strict father. She was sexually molested by her male relatives and friends of her mother who left so much pain in her growing up years.

But despite of her dark past, things started to turn around when she won a beauty pageant and soon discovered to become a news reporter.

This now opened more doors for her to host her own show called; “ THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW.” When Oprah reve a l e d h e r p e r s on a l story and pain through public TV, millions of people praised her for being brave to reveal her painful past. Many silent victims of molestation got the courage to come out in the open to tell their side of the story. Oprah now then realized why bad things happ e ne d to he r, s o that she can be able to reach out and encourage others to come out in the open and to seek justice.

T h at i s a l s o h o w we should look at life whenever we experience painful times. Rather than asking God, “Lord, why did you allow this to happen? Don’t you care? If you love me, why did you leave me in times of my urgent need?”

God has a reason for everything.

That is the reason why He said that we need to trust God with all of our heart. There is a purpose why bad things happen in our life.

Rather than QUESTIONING, why don’t we start TRUSTING. In s t e a d of a s k i n g God, “Lord, of all people why me?”

Why don’t we ask God, “Lord, why not?

Or what are you trying to teach me this season, so I can learn and move on?”

We just need to be hopeful that God has a plan to prosper and not to harm us. He has the best for us and trusting him that all things will work out for good.

My friends believe me, when I say this, “We will only handle and overcome pain when we know the purpose of our pain.”

Instead of complaining ab out our situation, why don’t we start thanking God for He allowed this to happen.

This is so that we become an encouragement and an inspiration to others.

God wants to reveal something to us.

God wants to us to use our tragedy into an opportunity in blessing others.

THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. Have you discovered the reason and the purpose of your pain?

Have you tried reaching out to people who are also suffering the same type of pain? ...QUIZ from Page B4 Iligan Institute of Technology , Oro Christian Grace School, Gusa Regional Science High School, Sacred Heart of Jesus Montessori School, St. Mary's School, Sta.

Chan’s sister, Rep. Mercedes Cagas of the first district of Davao del Sur, was also on hand to cut the ribbon along with Laguindingan Mayor Oliver Ubaub.

In his speech, Ubaub appealed to the congress-

woman to talk with her colleagues in Congress not to push through the bill which will rename Laguindingan Airport to Pelaez Airport.

“It’s an insult to the people of Laguindingan who gave up their lands to pave the way for the construction of the airport,” Ubaub said. Cagas also happens to be the chair of the Lower House committee on tourism.

Injecting positive vibes amidst a malevolent world BETWEEN writing yesterday’s edition of The Chameleon and this piece, a lot of bad things has happened in the vicinity and outskirts of CDO. A bus full of CMU students was bombed, killing five students, a single mom working for PhilHealth CARES and four more. A jewelry shop outside Ketkai mall (but within the complex) was robbed. And I got sore eyes. But somehow I breezed through the day dining at Tokyo Bubble Tea alone and racing through Laguindingan Airport to witness the launch of the DOT VIP Lounge and rushing back to CDO to cover the Christmas tree lighting

at Corrales Triangle with Miss CDO 2014 Bea Pohl and Kapitan Gigi Go. Except that I didn’t get in the latter in time. The Christmas tree was already lit and there was no one in sight. Not even the organizer, the indefatigable Gean Tulang. But hey, the sight was awesomeness.

Except that my eyes were all watery and sometimes there were blurry episodes.

So let’s focus now on a city-wide scale and forget my so-called narcissistic life. Both events that occurred yesterday definitely shocked Cagayanons to some extent, especially those who originated from Bukidnon.

There were those who call for

a Black Wednesday protest by simply wearing black shirts on that day. Interestingly enough, yesterday was the International Day for Human Rights and certain groups did hold a rally at Divisoria kiosk. But did they give a shout for justice to the CMU students? I hope so. A disclaimer: I wasn’t there. I was at the airport at the time.

By evening when I went back to the office, the initial shock waned and Cagayanons somehow have reeled back from the tragedy, grinding their day-to-day ends. Six simultaneous celebrations occurred yesterday in the city as far as I’ve heard. Circa

1850 at Tune Hotel invited media and bloggers for a food sampler. The Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges is here in CDO for a three-day long 6th Cultural Festival. And they’re bringing lovely and skilled students from other places for a pit in talents ranging from beauty to folk dancing. Oh well! And then DOT inaugurated their own cute VIP lounge at Laguindingan Airport. There was a battle of Christian rockers at Ketkai Atrium. There was a Christmas fellowship between media and Cocpo at Maharlika. And of course there was that Christmas tree lighting at Corrales Triangle.

Tourism dep’t launches VIP lounge at Laguindingan airport Story and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO Assistant Lifestyle Editor

THE Department of Tourism (DOT) 10 launched yesterday its own VIP lounge at Laguindingan Airport in Misamis Oriental.

According to DOT 10 director Catalino Chan III, a tourism VIP lounge is always present in each airport in the country if it is located in a regional

capital.

It can be recalled that DOT 10 maintains such VIP lounge at Lumbia airport in Cagayan de Oro City for decades until the

facility closed down last year to give way to the more modern Laguindingan Airport.

Chan used the occasion to invite various

groups who wish to avail the VIP lounge because aside from being accommodated in the room prior to departure and after arrival, guests will

also enjoy being entertained by the Kagayhaan Performing Arts and will be provided with leis.
