SAN FRANCISCO, Agusan del Sur— The endangered Mt. Magdiwata watershed here gets a reprieve anew with the planting Saturday morning of some 1,000 rubber tree seedlings at the sloppy grounds of its buffer zone by about 200 officials and workers of Agusan del

Sur Electric Cooperative, Inc. (ASELCO. Engr. Emmanuel Galarse, ASELCO general manager, said the tree planting activity that would help preserve the 1,652 –hectare watershed served as a significant tribute to ASELCO’s upcoming 37th anniversary on August 26. He said they decided to plant rubber near the prem-

ises of ASELCO main office in San Isidro village which is just about 300 meters from the national highway since such specie can hold the sloping ground better to help prevent landslide and the cooperative can also gain income when the trees will mature for harvest. “This is ASELCO’s way of expressing concern to the inevitable threats to global

DEL CARMEN, Siargao Island––The small airport in this island will be upgraded starting this month to address runway limitations, said William Hotchkiss, chief of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). He said the upgrade, which was approved by the Department of Transporta-

tion and Communications (DOTC), will primarily include expanding by 135 meters the existing 1,200-meter runway of the airport. CAAP is an attached agency of the DOTC. Hotchkiss, a former Philippine Air Force chief, said the improvement seeks to ensure the safety of airplanes and their passengers.

Currently, only Cebu Pacific Air, Inc. is servicing the island but with passenger weight restrictions due to the limited runway capability of the airport, he said. “This additional runway will help maximize the flights and hopefully bring in other turboprop aircraft from other carriers,” See airport, page 11
