Construction of DSWD Mindanao warehouse commence DSWD Undersecretar y Mateo G. Montaňo leads the unleashing and laying of the time capsule in the contruction of DSWD Mindanao Warehouse for Disaster Operations at the DSWD Rehabilitation Complex, Bago Oshiro. The undersecretary was assisted by DSWD Administrative Officer Herbert P. Duron, DPWH District Engineer Fernando Ongkingko, DPWH Director Mariano R. Alquiza, DSWD Director Priscilla N. Razon and DPWH Assistant District Engr. Gregory Yee. With a funding of P7.4 million, the construction is expected to be completed within 90 working days.

In his message, Usec.

Montaňo emphasized that the warehouse will serve not only the Mindanao area but all the other regions in the country requiring emergency assistance. “We are preparing this warehouse for nationwide operations, set to respond to a bigger scale of disaster operations.”

If at some point, the operations at the national warehouse is hampered due to flooding or earthquake or any other disaster, this warehouse can then supply the needs of the affected populace at NCR, he pointed out. In the same manner that the warehouses in the Visayas and Luzon can also augment the needs of Mindanao regions when necessary, he said.

AVAO City – Survivors of Typhoon Pablo doubted that the government’s plan to shift to planting palm oil from coconut trees in Davao Oriental will help them recover from the 2012 disaster, saying it will only “intensify land-grabbing” of their farm and ancestral lands.

“Instead of giving support services to farmers in replanting and keeping our lands productive, they push us to the mercy of agribusinesses owned by multinational corporations that will turn us into contractual farm workers,” said Karlos Trangia, spokesperson of Barug Katawhan, an alliance of Typhoon Pablo survivors in Davao Region.

“This is an institutionalized land-grabbing,” he

added.

Last Thursday, Davao Oriental Provincial Governor Corazon Malanyaon revealed that the province has already identified and allotted 4,000 hectares as minimum requirement for oil palm production set by Agusan Plantation Incorporated (Agumil) Philippines.

Agumil is a leading oil palm exporter based in Caraga region.

Malanyaon said the target areas are in the towns of Boston, Baganga and Cateel, the hardest hit areas of the typhoon.

Malanyaon also said the palm oil plantation provides stable and faster sources of income after Typhoon Pablo left farmers wanting for livelihood.

The governor said she is “sold out” to oil palm production after seeing how

this agro-industry product helped boost the economy of Malaysia.

Meanwhile, the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) said the target for oil palm plantations in Davao Oriental alone is 42,000 hectares.

Rex Buhat, regional manager of PCA in Davao Region, said they still consider the oil palm targets in Davao Region as “private venture” but they will assist in the planting process as part of their mandate.

Buhat said there are “advantages and disadvantages” in opting for oil palm over coconuts and cannot “prevent farmers from planting what they want.”

He said that farmers could earn more in oil palm “per hectare basis” as they can harvest every two weeks and can be productive for

25 years.

Buhat said that one advantage of planting coconut is that farmers can do intercropping or plant other crops or trees in between the coconut trees.

The farmers, though, have to spend more on fertilizers, Buhat noted.

He also added that farmers couldn’t dictate the price of copra in the market.

“If the price of copra goes down, farmers can harvest other crops because they can intercrop,” he said.

Buhat said that for their part, they have already assisted farmer-victims of Typhoon Pablo by paying for P40 per seedling for those who still want to plant coconut.

He added that they have already paid for a total of 416,570 seedlings in Davao Oriental covering 4,165.7

hectares.

If the oil palm plantation in Davao Oriental pushes through, there is still a large land area to be planted with coconut, he said.

But Buhat also admitted that most of their beneficiaries do not own land.

“Many of them don’t own land and are still only farm workers despite the agrarian reform program,” he said.

Davao Oriental is the country’s leading producer of coconuts with an average yield of one billion nuts annually covering area of 156,837 hectares, according to its provincial government website.

Typho on Pablo destroyed the province’s agriculture at a cost of P450 million, according to a postdisaster report. (davaotoday.com)

year tourism project.

The project aims to support local government efforts and their private sector partners in creating an open beach model in the Island Garden City of Samal (IGaCoS). This would ensure that the beach areas remain a public domain, making economic opportunities accessible to more people and fostering inclusive growth in the community.

Governor Rodolfo Del Rosario signed the MOA together with DILG Regional Director Wilhelm Suyko, Department of Tourism Region XI Chief Tourism Operations Of-

ficer Eden David, LGSPLED Field Director Francis Gentoral.

In a brief message, Del Rosario said that he hopes for a fruitful partnership between the agencies and organizations involved, and believes that the same level of commitment should be extended even after the project has ended. He also emphasized the need for a strong government to ensure the continued support for the development of Talikud Island.

Through the said MOA, Davao del Norte, DILG, and the Government of Canada, through

LGSP-LED, agree and commit to collaborate for sustainable local economic development.

Davao del Norte targeted over PHP 160 million new public and private investments in tourism by the end of the project. Through the project, DavNor also aims for a 20% increase both in annual tourist arrivals and in new jobs created yearly in the tourism sector.

The Government of Canada has approved a budget of approximately PHP 6 million for the ‘Sustainable Tourism Development and Business Enablement for IGaCoS’ project. This will focus on developing the capacities of local private sector groups and economic officers of the LGU to be

more capable in business planning, investment promotion, destination marketing, economic recovery, and sustainable project implementation.

Through the same event, another Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by the regional offices of DILG, DOT, DENR, DTI, TESDA, DOLE, DSWD, Maritime Industry Authority, PNP, DPWH, and DABureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. This group is known as the Regional Economic Transformation Team (RETT), an innovative mechanism of the local project that will harmonize and tailor economic programs of different agencies and help DavNor achieve its targets.

Solon wants Aug. 2 declared as Butuan City Charter Day

A

gusan del Norte First District Rep. Lawrence Lemuel Fortun has submitted a bill seeking to declare August 2 of every year as Butuan City Charter Day to be known as Adlaw Hong Butuan.

The proposed measure under House Bill No. 5061 is entitled “An Act Declar-

ing August 2 of every year as Butuan City Charter Day and a Special NonWorking Holiday in the City to be known as the Adlaw Hong Butuan.”

In his explanatory note, Fortun said that “Butuan became a political entity in 1907 through the enactment of Act No. 1693 and a city by virtue of Repub-

lic Act No. 523, otherwise known as the Charter of the City of Butuan, which was signed into law on August 2, 1950. Since then, the people of Butuan have referred to the second day of August as the “Adlaw Hong Butuan,” or the Day of Butuan, which they commemorate every year in remembrance of its rich history, and great

achievement, and the significant contributions of its people.”

“Butuan City is blessed with rich cultural heritage, it has over 1,600 years of recorded history. It is known to be the Home of the Balangays, the ancient boats utilized by our ancestors in traversing Asia in the precolonial times, the oldest

of which was carbon-dated 320 A.D. It is likewise host to the Bequibel Shell Midden that is proof to civilized human existence in the area as early as the Neolithic Age. Thus, its people proudly lay claim to a declaration of their old folks, “In the beginning there was no Philippines, but there was Butuan.”

By declaring August 2 of each year as a special non-working holiday in the city, Fortun hopes to recognize Butuan’s historical niche as an ancient city and pay homage to the men and women who have contributed to its progress and development that should serve as inspiration and example to our people.

LGU income requirement for conversion The House of Representatives has approved on second reading a bill rationalizing the income requirements for the conversion of a municipality into a component city, creation of a province and the declaration of highly urbanized status in the case of component cities.

The proponents have a valid reason for House Bill 5021 which aims to increase the average annual income for the creation of a municipality from P2.5 million to P12.5 million for the last two consecutive years based on 2013 constant prices. The bill also increases the income requirement for the declaration to highly urbanized status of a city from P50 million to P250 million.

Other wise, there would be a proliferation of new cities which should be because of low income.

That the measure provides that the Department of Finance instead of the City Treasurer to certify the classification of a highly urbanized cities that meet the income requirements, is reasonable, provided that the annual average income shall include the income accruing to the general fund, but excluding the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) shares, special funds, trust funds and non-recurring income. It is a fact that many city LGUs rely only on the IRA which comes from the national government. They should

The increase in Interior and Local Governments Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas II’s popularity rating as a presidentiable is something not worth crowing about but it is Vice President Jejomar Binay’s declining numbers that should make every presidential aspirant to hope even more for their own cause.

Before the Pulse Asia survey, Binay’s numbers were considered insurmountable making him invincible to beat. But now that his numbers dipped by 10 percentage points, his invincibility had been shattered thus giving hope to the other aspirants of beating him.

This should not, however, make the followers of Roxas jump like chimpanzees because his numbers still could

not make him president of the land by 2016. And there is no correlation either that the numbers taken from Binay went to Roxas.

The numbers just say that Binay lost substantial percentage points while Roxas gained a decade for himself. This does not say that Binay’s loss is Roxas’ gain.

What is clear about the survey results, however, is that both still have to do a lot of homework to post a secure lead in the run-up to the 2016 presidential race since both are determined to succeed President Aquino by then.

They should remember that it is he who is able to capture the imagination of the electorate who is sure of winning just like in the case

of then presidential aspirant Joseph “Erap” Estrada in 1998.

Even if then President Fidel Ramos succeeded in changing the constitution so he can still seek re-election, I doubt if he had a chance of winning against Estrada in 1998. Erap was so popular

in 1998 to the point that no one could ever beat him in the polls in that year’s election.

No one between Binay and Roxas has captured the electorate’s imagination like Erap did during his time.

Even if Binay enjoys a seemingly formidable lead against any perceived dreamer of succeeding Aquino, his following is not as solid as that of Erap in 1998 and even in 2010 when he for the second time sought the presidency.

Binay is admittedly the most popular among the aspirants in 2016. But the Pulse Asia survey results show that his popularity is not that solid for it could be washed away on account of accusations questioning See bacon, page A7

Bambi: Misor government moving to Naawan town

By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

MISAMIS Oriental––The provincial government of Misamis Oriental on Friday would transfer the operation of the provincial government to Naawan, a coastal town 62 kilometers west of Cagayan de Oro City.

The provincial capitol has announced on Thursday that the one-day transfer is part of provincial Governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano’s policy of bringing the government’s basic services closer to the people.

Emano said that all department heads of provincial offices along with their personnel, will attend to the concerns and issues of residents of Naawan and nearby towns during the day-long activity.

He said that the provincial legal arms and the health teams would also be around to extend basic consultations.

Army troops from Luzon deployed to Sulu, Zampen

A

bout a thousand soldiers from Northern Luzon were deployed Sunday (September 28) to Sulu while two Army battalions from the same region were deployed to the Zamboanga Peninsula The Philippine Star’s online edition, philstar.com

reported that Armed Forces chief Gen. Gregorio Catapang Jr. ordered the redeployment of the 501st Infantry Brigade and attached units from Northern Luzon “to strengthen security” in Sulu and the Zamboanga peninsula Agence France Presse

(AFP) on Sunday (September 28)reported that the troops were redeployed to “strengthen security after Islamic militants threatened to kill one of two German hostages” in Sulu.

The Abu Sayyaf last week threatened to kill one of two German nationals they have

been holding captive since April unless the 250 million pesos ransom it demanded is paid before October 10, 2014 and Germany stops supporting US action against Islamic State militants.

Philstar.com reported that the 21st Infantry Battalion and the 41st Infantry

The Municipality of Sindangan, in partnership with the Department of Tourism – Region IX and the Zamboanga del Norte Provincial Government, held the 70th Shinyo Maru commemoration’s unveiling of the marker last September 7, 2014 at Barangay R.G. Macias, Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte.

A commemorative marker was constructed at the site where the survivors were sheltered and fed by the locals.

Accordingly, it is also the place where they were picked- up by another US submarine.

Various historians, heads of agencies in region 9, local officials and residents of Zamboanga del Norte attended the said commemoration.

The program began with a historical narrative by Dir. Mary June Bugante of DOT9 followed by a message from Mr. Gerald Randolph Anderson, project head of the World War II Hell Ships memorial in Subic Bay, who also represented the Americans. The unveiling of the marker cer-

emony followed. Mayor Nilo Florentino Sy of the Municipality of Sindangan welcomed the guests to the event while Col. Apolinario Alobba (GSC) PA, Commanding Officer of the 101 Brigade 1ID PA, introduced the keynote speaker, BGen Gerardo Barrientos Jr., Commanding General of the First Infrantry (Tabak) Division. Messages were then given

by Hon. Senen O. Angeles, Zamboanga del Norte Vice Governor, and Hon. Rosendo S. Labadlabad, representative of the 2nd Congressional District of Zamboanga del Norte.

The commemoration paid tribute to the bravery of the American survivors and to the heroism of the Filipinos, specifically the Sindanganons, whose bravery, kindness and generosity prevented the prisoners of wars’ recapture, thus saved their lives.

Moreover, the commemoration was in recognition of the Shinyo Maru incident which took place during the Second World War. The National Archives (Winter 2003, Vol.35,

No. 4) recounts the incident: “Crowded into the foul and steamy holds of an unidentified ship were 750 U.S. POWs, most of them survivors of POW Camp #2-Davao, Mindanao, Philippines. Since February 29, 1944, 650 officers and enlistees labored on a Japanese airfield at Lasang.

The other 100 had similarly worked on another airfield south of Davao. All 750 were marched shoeless to the Tabunco Pier on August 19. On August 20, they were packed into the holds of the ship.

Late in the afternoon of August 24, the ship arrived in Zamboanga. The prisoners had no idea of where they were until the men who went topside to empty the latrine cans returned to tell them. The men were all very dirty, many suffering from heat rash and frequent blackouts.

After ten days of waiting in the harbor, they were transferred to the Shinyo Maru on September 4. On September 7, hatch covers were placed more

closely together and secured by ropes to prevent lifting from below. They sailed for fourteen hours without an air raid alert, and many felt that the worst part of the journey was over.

There was a terrific explosion, followed by a second one.

Heavy obstacles came crashing down from above. Dust filled the air and bleeding men lay all over each other in mangled positions, arms, legs, and bodies broken. The deck was strewn with mangled bodies.

Japanese soldiers fired at Americans swimming in the water or shot at those struggling up from the holds. A terrific cracking sound was heard.

The boat seemed to bend up in the middle and was finally swallowed up by the water.

The local Filipinos and members of the “Volunteer Guards” risked their lives to assist the eighty-three men who made it to shore. One of the eighty-three died the next day. After nursing the survivors back to health, they, then, assisted the survivors in returning to the United States.

Battalion will be redeployed in the Zamboanga peninsula while the 501st Brigade’s assignment is in Sulu .

The AFP report quoted Major Calixto Cadano Jr, of the Army’s 5th Infantry Division as saying that the deployment of Army troops to Sulu will allow Marines

who have been fighting the Abu Sayyaf in Sulu “to concentrate on their main tasks.”

It quoted Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin as saying that Army troops would be deployed to Sulu to “stop the Abu Sayyaf once and for .” (MindaNews)

The death of Shinyo Maru was duly noted by a Japanese cipher clerk at 1650 hours on September 7, the victim of a “torpedo attack.” An intercept of September 10 reported 150 Japanese army casualties.

Lt. Commander Nowell later reported that ‘this is probably the attack in which U.S. POWs were sunk, and swam ashore.”

During the press conference of the 70th Shinyo Maru Commemoration, Dir. Bugante emphasized that tie-ups with Department of Education for students’ historical tours will eventually be done. She also said that since it is a local marker, DOT9 will pass it to the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) for its national recognition. Lastly, she made mention that she has been receiving good responses from the families of survivors who are glad that such a commemoration was done.

Furthermore, Mayor Sy said that in the tourism perspective, Sindangan is only known for its Su-tu-kil (Sugba,

He then told the media guests that the organizers, specifically divers from Dipolog City, attempted to dive the Sindangan Bay in search of the Shinyo Maru shipwreck but due to limited gears as leisure divers, no shipwreck was found. He emphasized further that the commemoration was focused on the bravery and heroism of the survivors and Sindanganons rather than the incident itself. Lastly, he made mention that a usufruct agreement was made between the Municipality of Sindangan and the Macias family for 300 square meters of land where the marker is found.

his integrity.

Since his numbers dipped after the expose that the parking building built by the City of Makati during his incumbency as mayor was overpriced, this should be read to mean the people do not want to have anything to do with a politician whose integrity is doubted.

It should therefore be expected that more expose’s involving Binay’s integrity will be raised.

Raising issues questioning Binay’s integrity will become the rule of the day and as long as these issues are supported with facts and other evidences, expect Binay’s popularity to plunge even deeper. I understand there are more of such issues waiting for the opportune time to be raised by his foes.

Binay’s refusal to appear before the Senate will only prevent him from incriminating himself but it will never work to his advantage. His refusal will surely end up being taken by the people as an admission of guilt similar to flight by a person accused of a criminal act.

One more expose against Binay and he is done if he continues to dodge the charges levelled against him by shying away from any opportunity of confronting his accusers in any forum where he will have to be sworn in

first. His decision to counter the charges through denials in an atmosphere similar to a political rally will not suffice because the people are asking for the truth.

If he himself could not provide the people with the truth what logical conclusion will the people make then except to think he is guilty? If Binay does not realize that the people are waiting for him to tell the truth since he has been claiming his accusers were all telling lies, then he should kiss his presidential ambition goodbye. The people can still tolerate a womanizer but not a rapist of the public coffers.

At this point, Binay and his mouthpieces, Cavite Gov. Junvic Remulla and Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco, are not helping shed the light. They are instead perceived as doing their best to hide the light from surfacing apparently because the light is not favorable to the darkened name of Binay.

Binays’ camp should go back to the drawing board to rethink their propaganda and their message for clearly Binay is in the losing end in this regard.

Amante and Romarate said the sceneries around the lake rival that of other well-known tourist spots, and its location along the Pan-Philippine Friendship Highway makes tourism development even more feasible.

Three town mayors, Ramon B. Mondano of Mainit, Dominador G. Esma of Alegria, both in Surigao del Norte, and Mayor Aristotle E. Montante of Kitcharao in Agusan del Norte have expressed support to the bill.

“However, as it continued it has become clearer that the jobs provided by mining industries are not secured and even salaries are not just. Tax holidays under RA 7942 contradict the promises on local revenues.

The ones who benefited the most are not the people but the very few capitalists,” the statement added.

Odchimar, a former president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines said the seas and rivers in the province have increased in turbidity, reducing “in half ” the marine productivity.

“Heavy siltation due to soil erosion has continued to clog irrigation system leading to a very low rice harvest output,” he said.

The bishop also said the pollution from dust particles has resulted in respiratory diseases.

“Mining, without doubt, directly threatens the life of our people. Its social cost clearly outweighs the benefits it out wittingly preaches. The damage is immediate and fast. Its effect is irreversible,” he said.

According to the 2009 study conducted by Mindanao State University-Naawan Foundation for Science and Technology Development titled “Sustainable Fisheries Management Program for Lake Mainit, the lake faces threats of habitat degradation due to pollution from agriculture and mining, destructive fishing practices and the use of chemicals or poisons have reduced the aquatic biodiversity of the lake.

Fishermen said their catch of white goby, locally known as pijanga and the dominant fish species in the lake, was noted to have decreased in recent years.

The MSU-Naawan study attributed the decline in fish stocks to “unsustainable or destructive fishing practices, too many fishers, highly diversified fishing technology, and lack of enforcement of fisheries and environmental policies.”

“Income from fishing is no longer sustainable in many areas, and lakeshore communities fear that rare and endemic fishes in the lake will be lost due to overfishing,” the study further said.

How can they fish and farm when everything is destroyed already in the name of the presentday profit? What happens to the gift of God’s creation for all,” he said.

Ochimar continued: “In the light, therefore, of the guaranteed benefits, sharing of profits and program of rehabilitation by the Extractive Industry Transparency International under the watchful eye of Bantay Kita, we challenge the mining industry to subject all its operators and members under the terms of this monitoring institution.

“Indeed, if mining industry will truly be valuable, then it must first be beneficial to the people to whom the minerals belong.

If mining is inevitable, let it bring peace, justice and development to the people, both today and tomorrow, as a sign of its real progress.”

One of the highlights of the program is the MINI JOB FAIR, where the provincial Public Employment Service Office (PESO), along with some of the partners will conduct an on-site recruitment for various job vacancies in the province and nearby provinces.

PESO partners participating in the MINI JOB FAIR are; Placewell, Michael Angelo Agency, YHMD and Optimo Global. To facilitate further the recruitment event, representatives of the Philippine Overseas Employment Office (POEA) will be present on site.

“We would like to save them the time and cost of going to the city. It is time for the government to reach out to our people; right in their own place,” Emano said.

KORONADAL CITY, South Cotabato - Hundreds of jobs are up for grabs in a job fair here on Thursday, October 2, in line with the celebration of the 14th Charter Anniversary and 4th Negosyo Festival of the City of Koronadal.

Judith Marmonejo, designated Public Employment Service Office (PESO) chief, said the job fair will be held at the activity center of the Gaisano Grand Mall from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

“As of this morning, 16 local companies and 7 overseas recruitment agencies have already confirmed

participation,” Marmonejo told Philippine Information Agency in a phone interview.

Available jobs for local employment include service crews, administrative staff and agents for business process outsourcing companies while most jobs offered for foreign employment are those for skilled workers and domestic helpers, she elaborated.

Marmonejo, in an earlier interview, reminded jobseekers to bring with them several copies of pertinent documents such as transcript of record, certificates of training and employment, biodata, and

other credentials.

“An applicant could apply in as many companies as the number of sets of documents an applicant brings,” she explained.

Labor and employment officials here have also reminded applicants to come to the interview on a casual but presentable attire and to look at the interviewer on the eyes when being interviewed.

DILG 13 directs Punong Barangays to enjoin

Church/Faith based Organizations during Barangay Assembly

By Florian Faith Jr. P. Bayawa LGOO II, DILG 13

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Region 13 directs all Punong Barangays in Caraga region to ensure the active involvement of Church/ Faith based organizations in the simultaneous conduct of Barangay Assembly this October 12, 2014 through Memorandum dated September 29,

2014. This is to discuss the tri-partite linkage between the government, the church and barangay leaders in the partnership dubbed as Ugnayan ng Barangay at Simbahan.

UBAS, short-term for the Ugnayan ng Barangay at Simbahan is where information, volunteerism and participation flow freely between the three

stakeholders towards sustainable development.

With the church and the barangay working and assisting each other in the identification of areas that require improvements in social services, together they will work in harmony in the swift delivery and completion of projects that address social issues and concerns.

The linkage began with the partnership forged by

the late DILG Secretary Jesse M. Robredo and Most Reverend Bishop Antonio R. Tobias D.D. in 2011 – one that gave birth to a unique organization whose vision was to empower good governance via grassroots and interfaith participation.

Presently, Secretary Mar A. Roxas continues the legacy and empowers the development of barangays by strengthening the partnership with

renewed fervor during the UBAS C onvenors meeting with Liga ng mga Barangay President Atty. Edmun Abesamis, Bishop Antonio Tobias and Luis Antonio Tagle.

One of the goals of UBAS is to develop barangays as “Center of Development” by encouraging and transforming citizens into Barangay Good Governance Advocates and strengthening rapport, friendship and

cooperation between the barangay. church and government for the effective delivery of social services.

OTABATO City – The working government of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) is set to implement a P100-million development plan to turn Polloc Free Port in Parang town, Maguindanao into a fully operational special economic zone.

The plan includes the relocation of informal settlers within the premises of the port and the construction and rehabilitation of key facilities, according to Mimbalawag Mangutara, Polloc Free Port manager.

In a radio interview, Mangutara said they have already started talks to facilitate the transfer of around 500 families to a 10.9-hectare lot procured by the ARMM government. The dialogue involved port officials, local government officials and leaders of the setters.

Mangutara assured the settlers that basic amenities like water and electricity will be made accessible to them in the proposed relocation site.

“We appeal to everyone to support these initiatives

to revive the once thriving economy here in Polloc,” he said.

Mangotara said a number of investors have already signified interest in putting up business in Polloc once its development is complete.

The Polloc Free Port development plan will include the construction of perimeter fence, fullyequipped control tower, a warehouse complex and a separate building to house a power generator and the repair of the docking area.

“We need to upgrade Polloc port to make it favorable to the booming business climate in ARMM, where local and foreign investments will generate income and jobs for our constituents,” said Mangutara. (Bureau of Public Information)

AMRECO chair questions emergency powers as Luzon power shortage looms

By JOEY SEM G. DALUMPINES of Philippine Information Agency11

DAVAO City - An officer of the Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperatives (AMRECO) questioned the move of the Department of Energy seeking emergency powers for the president due to the looming power shortage in Luzon.

Sergio Dagooc, president of the AMRECO said the power crisis has been

experienced in Mindanao for the past five years and no recommendation to that effect has been sought to ease the island’s power situation.

He said he could hardly get satisfactory answer to this question.

“Are you telling us that the Filipinos in Mindanao are second-class citizens?”

Dagooc stressed.

He said a Mindanaobased solon also raised this issue with the Department of Energy on several public hearings in the committee on energy in the lower but also got no answer from the agency concerned.

Dagooc stressed that the DOE is the agency mandated to ensure energy reliability See amreco, page B3

The shift is made to find stable and faster sources of income after Pablo hit and left farmers wanting for livelihood, Malanyaon said.

Davao Oriental is the country’s leading producer of coconuts with an average yield of one billion nuts annually covering area of 156,837 hectares, according to its provincial government website.

Typhoon Pablo destroyed the province’s agriculture at a cost of P450 million, according to a post-disaster report.

P270M earmarked for completion of 2014 ARMM-HELPS program

By PERLITA D. CHANGCO

C

OTABATO City As part of the regional government’s commitment to improve the quality of life of the marginalized including the farming and fishery sectors, ARMM Regional Governor Mujiv Hataman has allocated P270 million to fast track implementation of its priority projects under the HELPS (health, education, livelihood, peace

and synergy) program.

The allocation is earmarked for the implementation and completion of HELPS program that include the 300 ongoing infrastructure projects in targeted 53 barangays in different provinces under the autonomous region for this year.

ARMM-HELPS executive director Anwar Upam said, some of the ongoing infrastructure package projects such as barangay hall, multi-purpose building, bagsakan (trading) center, health center, children’s park will be completed, inaugurated and eventually to be turned-over to the local government units before the year ends.

“This is one-stop shop which means a community will have a barangay hall, multi-purpose building,

health center, birthing clinic, market, children’s park at many others that would prove a working government center,” Upam said.

Over the weekend (Sept 27), Hataman entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Panabo City-based ACES Polytechnic College in Davao del Norte as partners in undertaking capacity building/training in the organic farming livelihood projects of target beneficiaries-cooperatives under the HELPS program from barangay Basal, Basilan province.

According to Hataman, in consonance with the program of the Department of Agriculture and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) promoting organic farming, some 50 farmers/fisherfolks are undergoing training on tilapia,bangus and poultry (chicken) production using organic feeds, and food

processing at the ACES Polytechnic College.

Part of the training is the production of organic feeds using readily available materials which the trainees will share and re-echo to other farmers and fisherfolks upon completion of their training by early October, this year, he said.

Alongside the training, is the construction of a small-scale processing plant in barangay Basal through the technical assistance of ACES Polytechnic College to sustain the organic livelihood venture of the farmer-fisherfolks cooperative.

The regional governor expressed confidence that this project would not only help provide sustainable livelihood to many fisherfolks and enhance economic activities of rural communities but also boost campaign in patronizing organic food for health benefits. (PBChangcoPIA-Cotabato City)

In child development: Books are important

By Maria Liezle S. Fiel Sto. Rosario Elementary School Molave West District Division of Zamboanga del Sur

This era is time that modern technologies such as computers and internet exist. These have become the source of people’s entertainment and means of attaining knowledge, but it is a fact that still, books is still alive and used.

During the earlier years of child’s life, parents are providing lots of different stimuli. B ooks are considered as numb er one educational tool, and as young as few months old, little ones could get fascinated in the colours and textures of a book.

Fact be told, the role of books is vital along the start of child development. There are several circumstances that children might chew a book, throw or play with it, but this is the first step to becoming a successful reader.

In an article published in an online site, Hubpages, it is said that a book provides a child with valuable vocabulary, starting from simple basic words all the way to making sentences and expanding their ‘word bank’.

Children’s imagination is stimulated and they can understand better the world they living in.

Social skills are also developed through story books and children are

learning about relationships and emotions.

The routine of reading a book with your child, at bedtime or at any other time, is emotionally nourishing and creates a long lasting bond. In addition, a parent can give examples of everyday life to the child that relates to the story.

In this way, the child can recognize different situations as it grows up, and be better prepared to deal with or understand them.

Different types of books offer the child a more wide knowledge and experience. This can help children be better prepared for school and enhance their curiosity for deeper subjects or abstract ideas.

A book as a source of entertainment is very important and can replace the TV and computer for part of the day. It can be the time when a child builds castles and runs through forests in his/her head. A time to be alone with its imagination and create the scenery and characters as they please. A story that can be told in a million different ways.

Lastly, books should be considered a treasure and if parents provide their children with treasures, then their children will cherish and love them forever.

not only for Luzon but also nationwide.

He said he is already satisfied that the AMRECO has made its stand about the power situation in Mindanao.

Dagooc assured that their organization supports the government’s effort to come up with a balance power energy source in Mindanao citing 50 percent dependence on renewable energy source and 50 percent on fossil fuel.

“We do not want to ex-

perience the predicament in Luzon where electric rates are dependent in the prizes of coal, bunker and diesel” he said.

Dagooc said compared to other renewable energy sources, mini-hydro power plants can generate more capacity and consequently lower rates.

Romeo Montenegro, communications director of the Mindanao Development Authority (MINDA) said that they are closely working with the AMRECO for the Mindanao Congress for the Advocates of Renewable Energy Advocacy and Rural Electrification Development.

He projected that there will be a more sustainable power source in Mindanao in 2015 with the operation of more coal-fired power plants.

Montenegro explained that sustained power does not necessarily mean lower power rates.

He said energy sourced from fossil fuel like diesel and coal will remain costly compared to the electricity sourced from hydro-power.

“Mindanao is currently served by 60 percent renewable energy with 54 percent hydro and six percent geothermal and 40 percent fossil fuel consequently offering a competitive rate compared to Luzon,” Montenegro said.

Corporate Palm... from B1

“I t h ou g ht we h ave enough with coconuts. It seemed it promoted farmers not to strive hard to do something else,” Malanyaon said.

The governor said she is “sold out” to oil palm production after seeing how this agro-industry product helped boost the economy of Malaysia.

In its website, theprovincial government said it consulted early this year local farmers, mayors and head secretary of the Provincial Oil Palm Development Council Pablito P. Pamplona.

Pamplona said oil palm has a yield potential of over 60 tons of fresh fruit bunch per hectare.Oil palm produces yield in three years as compared to the seven-year growth of coconuts, and is viable for inter-cropping.

Malanyaon said other provinces will be joining in this venture.

“We talked with Governor del Rosario (Davao del Norte) and Governor (Compostela Valley Arturo ) Uy, and we agreed that the region will be an oil palm area,” she said.

In the RDC meeting, Del Rosario said the venture into oil palm is also part of the region’s readiness for the

Southern Mindanao Growth Corridor as outlined by the Mindanao Development Authority.

Davao del Norte however, will focus in rice and chocoloate production, as he bared the three towns to be the center of chocolate production for the local and Asian market.

He said the province can seek assistance in the ASEAN community to boost its rice production.

“Davao del Norte is the biggest rice producer in Region 11, and has been self-sufficient in its rice production, and is helping feed Davao City, and we like to improve on that,” del Rosario said.

Chocolate production will be in San Isidro town, dubbed as the province’s “chocolate capital” for producing tabliya to five-star hotels.There will also be planting processing of chocolates in the neighboring towns of Kapalong and Asuncion as areas for cacao plants and chocolate processing.

The national coconut farmers group Kilusang Magniniyog appealed to government.

Meanwhile, to go beyond its copra-industry framework and to fund an integrated coconut processing hub to utilize more coconut-based products. (davaotoday.com)

Philippine, Germany ink pact for social security

F

ilipinos abroad are more assured of their protection after another bilateral agreement was signed, adding Germany to the list of countries that guarantee the payment of social security benefits to migrant workers.

Social Security System (SSS) President and Chief Executive Officer Emilio S. de Quiros, Jr.in a statement said the Federal Government of Germany and the Philippines agreed to ensure equal protection for Filipino and German nationals working in each other’s country in a social security agreement (SSA) signed on September 19.

De Quiros and other SSS officials, in collaboration with the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Philippine Embassy and other government agencies traveled to Berlin recently to sign the agreement, which was initiated in March 2013.

“The agreement will strengthen and further deepen the ties between Germany and the Philippines with regard to promoting social security,” De Quiros said. “It eliminates dual or burdensome coverage under two social security systems of contract workers deployed in either of these countries,” he added.

The bilateral agreement on social security between the Philippines and Germany, which will undergo ratification by President

Benigno Aquino III and concurrence of the Senate, will benefit about 55,821 Filipinos in Germany, of whom 45,647 are permanent and 10,174 are temporary residents, according to De Quiros.

Aside from fostering equality of treatment in the workplace, Aquino said that the bilateral agreement “will also improve the processing of claims and prevent dual coverage. This will consequently redound to the benefit of both Filipino and German nationals,” he added after talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin.

Among the highlights of the Philippines-Germany agreement are the “totalization” and export of social security benefits.

With totalization, Filipino workers who have divided their career time between the Philippines and Germany will be able to combine the contributions they made in both countries to meet eligibility requirements for social security benefit or pension in either or both countries.

“So if a Filipino worker in Germany has not met the required number of contributions to qualify for a benefit, the concerned German institution will take into account the contributions of that worker in either the SSS or GSIS,” De Quiros explained.

He also said a covered

Filipino worker in Germany, including his dependents and his survivors shall be eligible for social security benefits under the same conditions as German nationals in Germany.

In addition, a worker will continue to receive his benefits wherever he decides to reside in the Philippines, Germany, or another country.

“Workers covered by this agreement are assured of administrative assistance from designated liaison agencies, such as the SSS and GSIS in the Philippines, and select key agencies administering pension and steelworkers’ insurance, farmers’ old-age security, and health insurance funds in Germany,” De Quiros said.

A Filipino worker residing in Germany does not have to return to the Philippines to file a claim.

The German liaison agency will transmit his claim to its Philippine counterpart institution.

The Philippines has also entered into similar bilateral agreements with Austria, Canada France, United Kingdom, Belgium, Switzerland, and Spain which are now being implemented. Bilateral agreements with Portugal and Denmark have also been signed and submitted to the Senate for ratification. Salient features of the agreements are consistent with the International Labor Organization conventions.(SSS)

The Gulayan sa Paaralan and Tahanan Project of Kiara Elementary School Don Carlos 11 District was being recognized as the Best Implementing School for Gulayan sa Paaralan and Tahanan Project in the Division of Bukidnon, Rank 4 in the Regional Level and just recently they were visited by National Evaluators of the Gulayan sa Paaralan Project to validate the results. The recognition given to the school was a great achievement and at the same time a reward to the efforts exerted by the internal and external stakeholders towards the realization of the said project.

The Gulayan sa Paaralan Project at Kiara Elementary School primarily was being initiated to help those elementary school children who were reported as severely wasted and wasted as indicated in their nutritional status. It is assumed that those children had experienced hunger, thus through the project problems were being solved. The vegetables and other crops produced

from the project were used for feeding. Moreover, the project had extended to the homes of the school children. There were information drive undertaken through Parents-Teachers meeting. The parents were informed about the importance of the program, thus they were able to gain knowledge about the Gulayan and applied such learnings in their respective homes. These activity addressed hunger problems in the family and later would attain food security in their homes.

The success of the project was the result of the cooperation and collaboration of efforts of the internal and external stakeholders of the said school spearheaded by the active and very supportive School Principal Mr. Panfilo D. Tusoy. The parents of the learners had rendered incomparable services towards the realization of the project. The external stakeholders play a great role by contributing financial and in-kind support for the success of

the project. The following stakeholders were DAVCO, INC which gave drums to serve as Water Container; LGU- Municipality of Don Carlos gave materials for the making of Nursery Stock Room amounting to 7,330.00; Barangay Council gave faucet and hose headed by Ho. Bobby Enad; Department of Education and NOMIARC gave/supplied for the Gulayan; and Mr.& Mrs. George Geron gave cyclon wire, bamboos and vegetable baskets from Barangay Captain Ho. Elena de Garcia.

The Gulayan sa Paaralan and Tahanan Project of Kiara Elementary School envisioned to provide nourishment for those learners who are nutritionally at risk. Its purpose of implementing the project is to create a healthy learning environment so learners will be fit for learning. The recognition and honor received by the school is secondary, what is important is the stable HEALTH AND NUTRITION for the school populace.

Happy wife, Happy life 4 Chinkee, “I think I am losing interest with my spouse. The feeling is not as strong as before; I am falling out of love. What can I do?”

First of all, let us go back to the basics.

Let us look at the definition of love.

One thing I learned in life according to my mentor Francis Kong, “PHILOSOPHY will affect the way you live.”

WRONG PHILOSOPHY = WRONG LIVING RIGHT PHILOSOPHY = RIGHT LIVING What is your philosophy about love?

Love is blind.

Love is like a rosary full of mystery.

Love is a feeling that you cannot explain until such time you personally feels it.

In reality, if you build your relationship’s foundation with a wrong philosophy, you will end up with a wrong living.

This is what I’ve learned from my 15 years of marriage. Love is not only about feelings or emotions, it must be based on decision, choice and commitment. That’s the reason why when we got married, the minister reminded us that no matter what happens; “For richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health; for better or for worst; till death do us part.”

What does this mean?

Even if you do not like what you are seeing and feeling, you just got to stick and work it out. True love must not be based on comfort or convenience, but it must be based on commitment and choice.

If you only trust your feelings and emotions, there will be days that you will have enough of each other, and you can call it quits. That

is the reason why we need to have a change of mind and heart; that we cannot base love on the wrong philosophy. We must base it on the right philosophy in order for us to have the right living.

It is also why you can’t fall out of love.

People can fall off buildings and into man holes; but not out of love.

Love is a choice; to love the person no matter who they are or what they are.

Love is a decision; to keep the promise you made no matter how tough the situation maybe.

Love is a commitment; to work it out no matter what you are going through.

Love needs hard work, patience and persistence.

When horror films collide IT’S one thing watching a serious Pinoy indie movie, it’s another if you go to a horror movie curious on whether Jodi Sta. Maria, Iza Calzado, Zanjoe Marudo and Joem Bascon can convincingly act horrifying. Or maybe they unintentionally turn horrific at all.

When all the ladies beside you almost make your shirt torn every time a frightening scene steps into frame, then you can say that Maria Leonora Teresa can be pitted against Annabelle. There are considerable parallels in both movies – Maria Leonora Teresa is about a doll manipulated by a witch to wreak havoc on people

who have wronged him in some way. Meanwhile, Annabelle is a doll not being manipulated b y a witch but being

possessed by a demon. Based on halting and sketchy details of the plot (New Line Cinema is secretive about it and I have yet to see the movie with Irene Dayo or Kat Llagas or Genevieve Cantor or whichever

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - This is a good day for sharing friendship with pals and co-workers, Aquarius. People will be in a light, socializing mood and not much in a working frame of mind. There’s really no use fighting this energy. Enjoy yourself today and allow yourself to detach from work issues. You can all get back to the grindstone later. The work will still be there.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - Your technical skills take a real leap forward today, Pisces. It seems all that training you’ve done is finally paying off. Your new skills will greatly increase your efficiency and enhance your marketability. If you’ve been thinking about applying for a new position, get your resume ready to send out when you see an appealing ad.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - Don’t be surprised to see your co-workers acting a bit silly today, Aries. There is no getting around the high spirits that permeate the office environment. It’s almost impossible to get any work done with today’s planetary atmosphere. Rather than cracking the whip and trying to increase productivity, why not join in? Lighten up a little.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - Life’s been a real social whirl lately, Taurus. You may feel a bit overwhelmed by all the people and parties. It’s fun to see everyone, but a bit daunting to renew ties with old friends and try to remember the names of new ones. Names and faces mingle to the point where you aren’t sure of your own name, much less anyone else’s.

Daily HOROSCOPE CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - You may discover an untapped talent today, Cancer. Perhaps there’s a new machine in the office and you’re the only one who can figure out how to use it. Maybe drafting a simple business proposal makes you realize how much you enjoy the writing process. This is a good day for any kind of creative endeavor, as well as for paperwork of all sorts.

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - Expect some positive developments today that impact the whole family, Leo. Perhaps you or your mate will receive word of a significant raise or great job opportunity. Perhaps you meet the one who is right for you, and you know it the instant you shake hands. Whichever it is, don’t let the opportunity pass. If you don’t seize it, someone else surely will.

dolls. In their plot, there were three mothers whose daughters died and someone who introduced himself as a psycho-therapist gave the dolls modeled after the kids as a therapy tool. But the psycho-therapist turned out to be a mangkukulam and was manipulating the dolls to wreak terror into the bereaved mothers. I don’t know if this is a lame attempt to catapult Maria Leonora Teresa into a level beyond Annabelle but we’ll just have to wait for box office revenues to know that.

Special Gospel of the day: Luke10:19(October3, 2014-Friday) Luke 10:1-9-After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

Therefore said he unto them, the harvest truly [is] great, but the laborers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.

Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborers is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you: This gospel encourages us to pray

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - You should be feeling especially confident today, Virgo. You’ve been working especially hard lately, and the recognition you’ve received goes a long way toward reinforcing your feelings of self-worth.

Your life goals suddenly seem more attainable and you’ll pursue them with renewed vigor. Your confidence is grounded in reality. You will surely succeed.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - This is a day made for fun and frivolity, Libra, not one in which you’re likely to get many of your chores done. Try as you might to focus on the task at hand, there are distractions everywhere you turn.

Your email pals could be sending you jokes and notes, and your friends could be bugging you to join them for an outing of some sort. You may as well give in.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - You’re a person of many talents, and today you’re likely to discover yet another one, Scorpio. The delivery of a new piece of equipment makes you feel like you’ve been given a toy for your sole enjoyment. But once you get the computer or piece of machinery up and running, you need to share it with your co-workers!

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - Don’t be surprised if people surround you today, each one anxious to confer with you. It seems that you’re the authority on all topics, Sagittarius. All the attention is flattering, but it makes it difficult to get any work done. Do what you can to help your co-workers, and then tell them that the help desk is closed for the day.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - Don’t let yourself be manipulated by needy friends, Capricorn. With today’s planetary energies, it’s a good time to think about setting clear boundaries. You know which friends are there for you and lift you up and which ones tend to drain all your time and energy with the constant need for your immediate attention. Try saying no. You can’t fix other people’s lives for them anyway. Think about it.

Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro board of directors member and Mindanao Daily publisher Dante Sudaria explains the day to day business of the newspaper.

IN BWM GROUP OFFICE

Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro holds workplace visit Story and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO Assistant Lifestyle Editor “Mr. Dante Sudaria is one of the very few people I know who is a visionary.”

These impressive words by Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro president Luigi Sarraga highlighted the workplace visit of around 20 members of the club at the BWM Group of Publications office here in Abellanosa St., Cagayan de Oro City yesterday.

According to Sarraga, workplace visits such as this one are routinary within outstanding members of the club which represent one sector. Dante Sudaria, founding publisher of the BWM Group which has four publications under its fold, represents the publishing sector of Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro. Sarraga said the club is tremendously grateful to Sudaria and the BWM Group for constantly publishing the projects of the club with far-reaching audiences – the

circulation of flagship Mindanao Daily alone reaches as far as Zamboanga, Caraga and Davao regions.

For the past year, the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro has hosted several projects – the Inter-class Products, the New Generation Forum and the most recent Rotary Youth program where youth councilors were able to produce 43 resolutions submitted to adult city councilors for consideration.

Aside from Mindanao Daily, the other publications under BWM Group are the tri-weekly BusinessWeek Mindanao, the weekender Mindanao Star and the weekly mag Cagayan Times. To cater to local audiences, there is a different front page edition of Mindanao Daily for each issue – one each for Northern Mindanao, Western Mindanao, Caraga and Davao.

Dodu Abrio and the Viajeros provide the entertainment.

Founded barely five years ago, the BWM Group has decided to clash head on with existing established local newspapers on its own with no outside investor. And this has impressed Sarraga even more.

“Being a media investor myself in the past, I know how difficult it is to maintain even one baby newspaper. But Mr. Sudaria has not just one but four. Yet his goals are not just for self-profit, he also aims to promote civic consciousness among the public for instance, disseminating the projects of Rotarians. In this way, the readers will be encouraged more to contribute for the betterment of society,” Sarraga said.

Sudaria also toured the Rotarians – which include business magnates Hong See (Ororama) and Danilo Camat (Robinsons) – to the facilities of BWM Group including the editorial room, the printing facility and

the administration office.

At the lunch fellowship, the Rotarians were serenaded by world music band Dodu Abrio and the Viajeros.

Mae Javier, a Rotarian from Camiguin who is promotions and marketing officer of Villa Paraiso Resort and Apartelle, presented her beach haven for Rotarians and Cagayanons to consider when visiting Camiguin.

Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro has 69 members. It is the oldest Rotary club in Cagayan de Oro founded in 1948. Its next project is to host the Rotary International District 3870 Convention to be held in May 2015. A total of 700 delegates from 44 clubs in the district are expected to attend.

“This will be a big boost to the economy and tourism of CDO,” Sarraga said.
