DENR chief tells public keep it ‘green’ this holiday season Volume II, No. 35

he Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) secretary urge the public to have a “green” Christmas by properly managing their waste during the season when most households produce more trash than usual. “Christmas does not have to be a burden on the environment. There are a number of ways we can do in order to help reduce the environmental impact of the holiday season, including practicing the 3Rs of waste management – reduce, reuse and recycle,” Environment Secretary Ramon J.P. Paje said. The environment chief noted that Filipinos, who are known to celebrate the longest Christmas season in the world, generate more waste during the holidays than at any other time of the year. Thus, he said, it is only necessary for the public to

be more conscious of the waste they generate and to observe environmentallyresponsible Yuletide habits. Since the bulk of holiday waste comes from gift wrapping and packaging materials, Paje suggested using newspapers, gift bags and other alternatives to traditional wrapping paper that can be reused, recycled or composted, and does not end up in the landfill. Paje said people could consider alternatives to sending traditional Christmas cards like e-cards or making a donation to charity instead. They could also buy gifts made from recycled materials as well as toys that do not use batteries, which eventually end up as waste, he added. He said seedlings and plants would make great gifts to send this holiday season. At the same time, he See green, page 6

ARMM Region to construct six women peace, training center

he Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) will set up a total of six women peace and training centers, one in each of the region’s five component provinces and at its seat in this city. The centers are intended to cater to all the women in

the region especially those affected by conflict and other related issues. It will provide various materials on gender and development and can serve as safe house for victims of violence against women. Lawyer Laisa Alamia, ARMM executive secretary,

said the women peace center is aimed not only to provide capacity building on gender and development but to also to train women to be economically empowered. “We need to capacitate and train women to go beyond poverty level,” Alamia said.

ROVER ORIENTATION VIGIL AND INVESTITURE - Vice Governor JOEY G. PELAEZ speaks before the young participants of the BSP – MisOr Rover Orientation Vigil and Investiture Ceremony in Libertad, Misamis Oriental. The BSP Rover Program aims to contribute to the education of young adults in a non-formal way through a value system based on the Scout Oath and Law, among others. BSP-MisOr organized the Rover Orientation and Investiture to facilitate the entry of Scouts, 16 years old and above, to become Rover Scouts and be initiated into the BSP Rover Program. Vice Governor Pelaez is currently the Chairman of the BSP-MisOr Council and at the same time a Regular Member of the National Executive Board. (Supplied Photo)

All six centers will be funded by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) with other forms of assistance from ARMM’s Regional Commission on Bangsamoro Women (RCBW) and Department of Public Works and Highways. It is in line with the government’s Localizing the National Action Plan

(LNAP) on women, peace and security program in the ARMM, which targets to bring national programs to grassroots level, especially in conflict-affected areas. Sittie Jehan Mutin, RCBW-ARMM chairperson, said that by 2015 the six women peace centers will be completed and operational. Earlier today, officials from ARMM led by

Regional Vice-Governor Haroun Al-Rashid Lucman, Executive Secretary Laisa Alamia, DPWH Secretary Emil Sadain and Chairperson Mutin conducted an ocular inspection of the ongoing construction of the P11 million-worth peace and training center at the ARMM compound in Cotabato City.

The GENERA initiative The GENERA Atlas started with an initial list by Dr. David Tribe, a professor of biotechnology and food safety at the University of Melbourne, Australia. The list grew to about 300 studies; a second list of 100 studies independent of corporate funding was collected. The idea that about one-third of the research was independently funded was based on these two lists, and this has been repeated widely. It was quickly realized that as a tool for communication and a resource for people who want to learn about all GMO research, a list of citations was not very useful. In 2010, the project turned into the GENetic Engineering Risk Atlas, originally conceived to be a collection of plain-english summaries of each study. In 2011 GENERA was reworked to be a searchable database where each study would have its important details displayed in an easy-to-read format on the side of the page, so that users could quickly see and understand what the study was about, what the scientists concluded, and who funded it. By 2012, GENERAL received a $10,000 competitive, peer-reviewed grant for the project from the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB) Educational Foundation. Because Biology Fortified is independently edited, views expressed on our site might not align with all ASPB position statements and might not be supported by ASPB.

Email matter The first step was to systematically search the scientific literature for more studies that would be included, and then develop a specific plan for collecting, organizing and rating each study for the Atlas. By 2013 the collection of studies increased to over 650. Hundreds of studies were then downloaded, entered and read. Funding information and conclusions were extracted from each study and carefully organized. A review study collecting over 1,700 peer-reviewed studies was published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal, Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, which covered the previous 10 years of research. The list of studies grew to well over 1,000 The GENERA website was built in 2014 during which authors of studies that had not declared their funding sources were contacted to help fill in additional information. The on-going beta test includes only the first 400 studies after which the remainder of the studies will be added with only their citation information at first; funding sources and outcomes will then be updated on a rolling basis. Categories of studies included in GENERA are compositional analyses; feeding studies; toxicology studies; gene and protein expression analyses; allergenicity assessments; field studies; efficacy trials; non-target See genera, page 6

INSPIRASYON SA BUHAY: “…`Huwag kang matatakot Zacarias; dininig na ang iyong mga panalangin. Magsisilang ang iyong asawang si Isabel, at tatawagin mo siyang Juan’…” (Lucas 1:13, Bibliya). -oooANG IKATLONG PAHAYAG SA BAGONG TIPAN: Ang paniwala ng marami sa kanilang pagbabasa ng Bagong Tipan ng Bibliya, ipinahayag ang pagsilang ni Jesus, ang ating Diyos at Tagapagligtas, noong nagpakita ang anghel kay Maria, ang birhen, at kay Jose, ang kanyang katipan. Ngunit kung babasahing mabuti ang Lucas 1, may isa pang kuwento sa Bagong Tipan na nagpahayag, ng mas maaga, sa pagsilang ni Jesus. Ang pangatlong kuwento ay ang pagsilang ni Juan Bautista, na “pinsan” ni Jesus (ang nanay ni Juan, si Isabel, at si Maria, ang nanay ni Jesus, ay magpinsan). Si Juan ay anak ni Isabel at ni Zacarias, na noon ay pareho ng matanda at baog kaya wala silang anak. Ngunit silang dalawa ay mga Israelitang maka-Diyos mula sa lahi ni Aaron, ang pari. Si Zacarias ay isa ding pari

na nagsisilbi sa altar. Isang araw, noong nagpunta siya sa altar, sinalubong si Zacarias ni Gabriel, “ang anghel na nakatayo sa harap ng Diyos”. Natakot si Zacarias pero sinabi ni Gabriel na di siya dapat matakot dahil dininig na ng Diyos ang kanyang panalangin, sapagkat magsisilang si Isabel ng sanggol na lalaki at tatawagin niyang Juan. -oooJUAN, IHAHANDA ANG TAO SA PAGDATING NG DIYOS: Nagpahayag ng duda si Zacarias sa sinabi ni Gabriel: “Papaanong mangyayari ito? Matanda na ako, at matanda na rin ang asawa ko.” Nagalit si Gabriel, at sinabihan nito si Zacarias na siya, si Gabriel, ay lumalakad sa harap ng Diyos, at dahil di naniniwala si Zacarias sa sinabi sa kanya ukol kay Juan, di muna makakapagsalita si

Zacarias. Ang kamangha-manghang punto sa kuwentong ito ay ang pahayag na si Juan ay isisilang upang ganapin ang isang layunin: ihanda ang isang sambayanan para sa pagsilang ni Jesus. Basahin po natin ang salin ng New International Version ng kuwentong ito, sa Lucas 1:12-17. Sa kuwento, kausap ni Gabriel si Zacarias: “Huwag kang matatakot Zacarias; dininig na ang iyong mga panalangin. Ang iyong asawang si Elizabeth ay magsisilang ng sanggol na lalaki, at tatawagin mo siyang Juan. “Magdudulot siya ng kaligayahan sa iyo, at marami sa Israel ang masisiyahan dahil sa kanyang pagsilang, sapagkat mahalaga siya sa Panginoon. Hindi siya titikim ng alak o ng iba pang nakakalasing na inumin, at mapupuspos siya ng Banal

na Espiritu bago pa man siya isilang. Ibabalik niya ang marami sa bayang Israel sa Panginoong Diyos. “At mauuna siya sa Panginoon, taglay ang diwa at kapangyarihan ni Elias, upang ibalik ang puso ng mga magulang sa kanilang mga anak, at ng mga suwail sa karunungan ng mga matuwi---upang ihanda ang isang sambayanan sa pagdating ng Panginoon’…” -oooHANDA NA BA TAYO SA PASKO 2014? Kaya naman, sa paghahanda natin sa Pasko 2014, tanungin natin ang ating mga sarili: nakahanda na ba tayo sa Panginoon? Sinusunod na ba natin ang layon ni Juan--naibalik na ba ang puso ng mga magulang sa kanilang mga anak, at ng mga suwail sa pagiging matuwid? Di ba, ang mga layong ito ni Juan ay paghahanda na rin sa Ikalawang Pagbabalik ni Jesus? Handa na ba tayo? -oooREAKSIYON? Tawag po sa 0917 984 24 68, 0918 574 0193, 0922 833 43 96.

Tulo na ang tulay Pagka suerte sa mga tawo sa Lapulapu City tungod kay dili madugay himoon na ang ikatulo nga tulay sa maong dapit ug kini ipahigayon unahan sa dapit sa dakbayan sa Mandaue. Kini makahatag sa dugang pag uswag sa dakbaysan ug sa dapit sa Mandaue ngadto na sa dakbayan sa Danao. Pagka anindot sud-ongon sa maong dapit mura man sab New York City sa Amerika. Ako nakasaksi sa kahimtang sa Lapulapu City kinsa nailhan usab sa ngalan Opon sa miaging mga panahon. Estudiante ako sa dakbayan sa Cebu niadto ug nakita ko kini nga kalamboan. Niadtong unang mga panahon ang pag anto sa maong lugar mosakay ang mga tawo sa gamay nga lansa kon pumpboat tabok ngadto. Ang Lapulapu dili pa dakbayan ug usa lamang kini ka gamay nga lungsod. Sigi ako didtong dapita uban sa akong mga higala ug didto

The Striker Ben Emata Jr. kami usahay mangaligo sa dagat. Magsuroy suroy kami sa mamingaw nga lugar ug walay mga salakyan gawas sa pipila ka mga tartanilya. Sa dihang gibuhatan sa tulay ang lugar gikan sa Mandaue paingon ngadto sa Lapulapu, misugod pag uswag ang maong dapit hangtud nga ang airport sa Lahug niadto gibalhin sa Lapulapu kinsa nahimo kini nga dakbayan. Milambo ang Lapulapu, ang Mandaue, ang Danao City, ang Consolacion ug ang dakbayan sa Sugbo. Ilhan ko kayo king mga lugar denhi tungod kay daghan akong mga higala sa Danao City nga mga classmates ko

sa tunghaan. Ako nakapangutana sa akong kaugalingon ngano man nga ang Cebu mag tagutlo man sa tulay samtang sa atong dapit sa Camiguin ngadto sa Misamis Oriental wala man gayud bisan tulay nalang unta nga kawayan. Unsa ba ang nahitabo sa atong mga politico nga wala may kaangayan sa atong palibut. Hangtud karon ang mga taga Camiguin mosakay sa mga lansa ug pumpboat dinuyogan sa maisug ug libat nga mga iho samtang ang Cebu nagka sayaw na sa daghan tulay nga moderno. Grabe kini ka maot ug walay kaangayan.

Unsa ba diay kining atong kagamhanan para lang sa mga pinili nga mga magbubuhis samtang ang sa Mindanao ga sinaw lang mga mata sa kawad-on? Akong giawhag ang mga politico labi na kadtong tapulan ug hinay ang panghunahuna nga unta sila maka amgo ug magmata aron ilang mabuhatan sa tulay ang Camiguin padulong ngadto sa Esperanza, Kinogitan, Misamis Oriental. Nanghinaut ako niini ug unta ang atong mga politico sa Misamis Oriental maningkamut niini aron usab ang dugay na nga natulog nga Camiguin province mouswag kon molambu. Sa akong panglantaw ang Camiguin labihan ka kabus nga lalawigan halos wala gani koryentre, walay mga hospital sa mga kalungsoran ug ang mga tawo atua na sa dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro naninpalad.

Currently, GENERA focuses on research from the natural sciences. It is collecting sociological and socio-economic research that are valuable in understanding how genetically engineered crops fit into society, and are part of the overall picture for risks and benefits; this will be included in GENERA in the future. Genetically engineered plants represent the most important and widespread use of genetic engineering in food production and agriculture. That may soon change as projects and products involving genetically engineered animals, fungi and microbes become more common. This research will

The Purveyor of Truth, Justice and Development

89 years of existence- December 27, 1925-December 27, 2014 4th of a Series IGHLIGHTS OF THE HEighty FEDERATION nine (89) years

ago to be exact, on December 27, 1925, the Living Filipino Legend and enigmatic organizer, Honorable Dr. & 5-Star General Hilario Camino Moncado founded the Filipino Federation of America (FCWA), a fraternal and semi-religious organization in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. The Organization had a humble beginning. Its first lodge was composed of 12 members which later grew to a total lodges comprising one division composed of one hundred forty four (144) members twelve (12) divisions of 1,728. Within a decade, the organization reached its peak of membership to 12,000 in California and 11,000 in the Territory of Hawaii. Within the period of sixty years, the organization has become a nationally known organization in the United States, Hawaii and in the Philippines. It has reached its membership to more than one million, solid, dedicated and faithful members and which now maintains twenty four branches. To date the numbers are dwindling to only a few members because of leadership problems. In the Philippines, 1953 up to now only a few organizations are adhering to the mandate of the organization. It is only in Malacoma Branch, Samal Island, PhilippinesMoncado Island that Moral Recovery Programs, economic activities are being undertaken under the leadership of Bienvenido M. Ruelo along with the chosen ones of Master EFB who were given the task of strengthening the FCWA organization in the Philippines-based on Malacoma-THE SEAT OF EFB ERA-November 4, 2002 and beyond. The primary purpose of the Filipino Federation of America was to peace-

fully obtain the Independence of the Philippine Islands. This purpose was successful for on July 4, 1946, the Philippines was granted her Independence pursuant to the provisions of Tydings-MacDuffie Law passed by the Congress of the United States on March 24, 1934. Secondly, for economic amelioration and moral recovery of the Filipinos working in the United States. Dr. Hilario Moncado saw conditions of the young men of Filipinos at that time in America. Mostly vigorous young men just budding into young adults and to manhood were endangering themselves upon all sides by temptations and were apt to enmesh themselves in varied trouble and vices which would bring dishonor to themselves and discredit their native land, the Philippines-thus the FCWA Organization. On April 2, 1927, the Filipino Federation of America was incorporated under the laws of the State of California as a fraternal, semi-religious organization and a nonprofit organization. In the 1927 to the early part of 1930, the Federation became an active agency in the solution of Philippine problems. Because of the so many racial riots involving Filipinos in many parts of the United States especially in the Pacific C o a s t : Wa s h i n g t o n , Oregon, and California, citizens in those areas demanded that Filipinos should be excluded. Thus, a bill for the exclusion of Filipinos from the United States was submitted by Congressman Welch of California who represented San Francisco’s northern congressional district.

appeared before the Insular Affairs Committee of the Senate, where he pleaded for the freedom of his country.
