POPCOM bares program to cut child mortality rates in NorMin

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– The Population Commission (POPCOM) in Northern Mindanao has instituted this year a massive responsible parenthood educational program targeted at couples of reproductive age in a bid to curb child mortality in the region.

Lydio Apostol, POPCOM regional director, said on Tuesday that a study released by the UNICEF Philippines disclosed that 40 out of

1,000 births in Northern Mindanao die before reaching the age five.

He said that the educational program is targeted to the marginalized beneficiaries of “Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program” or 4Ps in the region where childbearing couples are considered vulnerable.

According to Apostol, the POPCOM is excited as more couples and individuals have shown inter-

est in the program since the Aquino administration launched it in 2013.

In fact, about 56,000 individuals representing 28,000 couples in Northern Mindanao have already enrolled in the program from January to June this year, Apostol said.

“The number of this year’s enrollees showed that the program has succeeded compared to the 6,080 individuals or 3,040 couples who

enrolled in the POPCOM program in the region in 2013,” Apostol added.

The program taught the couples on various basics in home and family management, wise spending of budget and birth spacing, he said.

Apostol said that “if the couples are taught on fiscal management, then child mortality will greatly reduce because young See rates, page 11

Mindanaoans expect more during PNoy’s 2-year term

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– The people of Mindanao are still optimistic that President Benigno Aquino III remaining two years in office would offer more opportunities in the island.

The statement summa-

rizes the frustrations of many Mindanaoans on the failure of President Aquino to give equal emphasis on developing Mindanao during the President’s 2014 State of the Nation (SONA) address last Monday.

6 killed, 6 wounded in NPA attacks in Northern Mindanao

SIX army soldiers were killed while six others were wounded as the New People’s Army (NPA) launched rebel offensives in the provinces of Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon since July 1, 2014, an NPA press release said on Tuesday.

The statement signed by a certain Lorena Mangahas, spokesperson of the NPA under the Eastern Misamis Oriental-Northeastern Bukidnon Sub-regional command, said that the NPA launched seven offensive actions from July 1 to July 25.

She said that the latest was the harassment by an NPA team on the army’s 8th Infantry Battalion and a militia detachment in Km. 30, Brgy. Calabugao, Impasug-ong, Bukidnon, about 1:00 a.m. last July 25.

On July 24, the NPA team harassed another

Misamis Oriental Gov. Yevgeny Vincente Emano said on Tuesday that while the President mentioned Laguindingan airport in passing, Aquino did not schedule a timeline on when the actual installation of digital navigational facilities would be completed.

The state-of-the-art equipment is essential for the airport to operate round-the-clock. “For over a year now, Laguindingan airport can be used only during daylight,” Emano said.

He said that while many airlines have already expressed interest to fly global via the Laguindingan airport, Aquino did not promise to convert the airport to

an international port from its current domestic status.

Emano also noted that Aquino focused more on the development of the Luzon and Visayas areas.

Bukidnon-based blogger Irene Aserios also observed that the SONA has shown Aquino’s lack of concern for Mindanao.

Aserios, however, appreciated that Aquino did not lambast anyone in his speech this time, a complete turnaround from his tirade against the Supreme Court only a week ago.

“I thought that the SONA was less vile, less finger pointing, more facts and figures/data, more interesting projects especially on the infrastructure as-

pect,” Aserios said.

Cagayan De Oro City Rep. Rufus Rodriguez likewise appreciated the fact that Aquino’s human nature emerged when he emotionally broke down while mentioning his father, the late Sen. Benigno Aquino Jr. “It only shows that the President’s SONA is sincere and delves from the heart. I believe it was his best SONA since he assumed office. It was an emotional SONA, especially when he choked back tears after mentioning his parents and even quoting his late father. That part reminded me that he is still human and has emotions,” Rodriguez said.

From a scale of 10, Rodriguez rates Aquino’s

SONA 9 while Emano had it 7. Lawyer Antonio Soriano, a convener of the Citizens for Good Government here, gave a 7.5 rating while Regional Director Oggie Candambra of the Office of Muslim Affairs gave Aquino a 7 rating.

The proponents, however, said that the 7 rating did not mean that they did not appreciate Aquino but meant that the President could still accomplish more during the last two years of his administration.

“I believed that Aquino could accomplish the remaining three percent in the next two years,” Candambra said, adding that his opinion did not carry that of OMA’s. CD

According to Fortun, the President has also shown how and where these reforms have brought the country in terms of improved governance and economic gains.

However, Fortun said he also wanted to hear f rom t h e P re s i d e nt a strong endorsement of the Freedom of Information bill and the anti-dynasty bill.

The Agusan del Norte lawmaker also noted that Aquino made no mention of reforms of the country’s

energy policies such as the EPIRA law which Fortun said “is very critical in the light of the looming power shortage.”

Fortun said Aquino did not take up the issue of the National Irrigation Administ rat ion (NIA) whose performance the President questioned in his SONA last year. “It would have been fitting if he had a report to the people of developments in this agency.”

However, the solon said he was glad Mr. Aquino took potshots at those who

are making life difficult for the farmers: “ Sa mga nagpapahirap sa ating mga magsasaka, kapag sapat na ang aming ebidensya, sa bilibid naman ang bagsak ninyo.” “ This includes NIA because this agency is being investigated and I understand cases will be filed against the culprits anytime soon,” he said.

In a privilege speech, Fortun exposed alleged anomalies involving unfinished NIA projects in his district worth hundreds of million pesos.

BATASANG PAMBANSA, Quezon City – President Benigno C. Aquino III appeared emotional as he concluded his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) during a joint session of the 16th Congress of the Philippines at the Batasang Pambansa complex here.

“loudest critics don’t want reforms” and that they “are only few, and we are many.”

Aquino expressed confidence that because of reforms he has introduced in his administration since he took office in 2010, “we are close to achieving a better future.”

The President quoted his late father, Senator Ninoy Aquino’s words: “The Filipino is worth dying for” adding: “The Filipino is worth living for, and definitely, worth fighting for!”

Characteristics of High-Performing Schools

By Lydia Dagatan Linggolinggo P-2 District In-charge Kapatagan West District Division of Lanao del Norte

In school is a place learning takes place. It is where a student gain knowledge and as well answers to his questions. Thus, it is important to see that a school should be capable enough to sustain each child’s needs.

In a Washington State research report, nine characteristics of high –performing schools are given.

High performing school has a clear and shared focus. It should have set vision, mission and goals. These three serve as direction and determine the targets that should be achieved.

This kind of school is also optimistic. Teachers and staff believe that all students can learn and meet high standards.

There are chances that it recognizes that some students experienced significant barriers, however these are not seen as insurmountable. In other words, the school offers an ambitious and rigorous course of study.

Effective leadership should also be seen in school administration. Effectivity in instructional and administrative leading is required to successfully implement change processes. Leaders are also proactive and would seek help if needed. It also involves nurturing instuctional program and school culture that are conducive to learning and professional growth.

High performing schools also execute high levels of collaboration and communication. Strong teamwork among teachers in all levels and other staff should be seen. Each one is involved and linked to one another. These include parents and community members.

They joined hand in hand to identify problems and work on solutions.

Learners deserves high quality learning for they aim a such. To achieve this, schools as learning institutions should also provide high kind of education.

Daily Inspiration Peaceful Heart A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones.

-Proverbs 14:30

Juvy Sarraga

It’s remarkable how medical studies have proven this verse to be true. Practicing optimism or a peaceful heart is actually one way to improve your health. How can we take advantage of this truth? When you find yourself troubled with relationships, deal with the issues quicker. If you are fearful, lean into God’s promises and speak them out loud. If your stress levels are high, exercise to release the tension. Above all, work towards a peaceful heart through Christ.

PNoy impeachment THE latest impeachment complaint against President Aquino filed and endorsed by the Makabayan bloc in the House of Representatives caused some sort of uproar and and raised a lot of questions among the members of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) because one of the signatories is one of the church’s incumbent bishops.

In light of this development, as member of the UCCP, I felt the need to explain certain facts not understood by many about the dynamics of the church’s polity and governance even by some members of the church itself much more by those who don’t belong to the religious sect.

It was in 1948 that the UCCP was established with the merger of the then United Evangelical Church in the Philippines that was originally composed of three evangelical missions in the country, the Presbyterian, United Brethren and Congregational, the then Evangelical Church in the Philippines composed of the Church of Christ-Disciples, the Philippine Methodist Church, the group that broke away from the United Methodist Church.

The establishment of the UCCP proved to all and sundry that churches with different backgrounds

can still merge and become united and one despite their varying confessions, polity and even practices as long as they profess the same faith in one God, same baptism in Jesus Christ and the same Holy Spirit that is making God’s presence in the world a reality.

The UCCP being an evangelical, ecumenical and prophetic church responds to the root causes of social injustice and unpeace. It is a church that draws strength from its sense of spirituality “that is renewed by its consistent immersion with the people.” In fact, for this quadrennial, 2014-2018, its theme is “Spirituality for these Critical Times.”

When Bishop Emergencio “Teh” Padillo affixed his signature in the impeachment complaint against Aquino, he was just consistent with the faith confessions of the UCCP which is that of being a transformed faith community working for the transformation of society.

Expectedly, however, there are those within and outside of the UCCP who did not agree with the good Bishop’s move of affixing his signature in the controversial impeachment complaint.

Those within the UCCP who were not as brave and as courageous as Padillo and those who are supportive of

A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II the Aquino administration distanced themselves from him claiming he did what he did in his personal capacity and not in his capacity as Bishop of the church.

But what is conveniently forgotten is the fact that the UCCP Bishops, its General Secretary and the other lay officers of the church are elected by the UCCP constituency through their elected delegates to the church’s quadrennial assembly. What does this election imply? It implies that the UCCP con-

stituency had unequivocally given their mandate to their Bishops and other officers to do or perform certain acts on their behalf as long as these are not inimical to the interests of the church.

When Padillo signed the impeachment complaint his act can never be considered an act that is inimical to the interest of the church by any stretch of the imagination.

His move is in fact very much consistent with the stance of the church as the transformed body of Christ

with regard to pressing social issues affecting the life of the people.

That mandate given to Padillo made his act the act of the entire UCCP. And as a member of the UCCP I fully endorse his act as mine too because his being a Bishop of our church is by virtue of the mandate we’ve given him and I do not see his move detrimental to the interest of the church in whatever way.

I endorse his move because it is very consistent with the faith confessions of the UCCP of being a prophetic church, a church that hates evil. Does this endorsement then mean that I and the entire UCCP constituency believe that Aquino deserves to be impeached? Not necessarily but letting this democratic process prosper will give those who want him removed from office prove their case

against him and it likewise affords Aquino the opportunity to debunk the charges leveled against him.

The impeachment, we should not forget, is a constitutional process to prove an impeachable official’s guilt or for the official to prove that the impeachment charge against him does not have any merit whatsoever. But this can only be achieved if the impeachment process is given the chance to roll.

This is the reason why I am endorsing the act of my Bishop and I am certain this is shared also by UCCP members who understood clearly the principles about mandates freely given to elective officials.

Davao's children foundation turns 14 in helping orphans

D

By Lolito T. delos Reyes

AVAO CITY - The Love The Children Foundation Inc. (LTCFI) continues to extend in transforming lives and declaring His goodness to the orphans in San Pedro, Marapangi III in Toril here is now on its 14th year.

The LTCFI does not only takes care of the orphanages but is also into community development, livelihood programs, Spiritual development and in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) Service provider.

Cindy Chua, co founder of the Foundation, said John, the first kid of the foundation, is now 18 years old and is already working as a welder of a machine shop.

“John grew up to be a very good man, tall and handsome,” said Chua, who founded the foundation together with her husband Tony.

The Chuas first met

John, who was then still a 4-year old little boy at a government drop-in center, a place located in the heart of Davao City where all the street children just come to eat, sleep and go back to the streets. John still then did not really have a name yet and was only called “Gong-Gong” which meant “dumb boy”.

He had a scar between his nose and upper lip bitten by a dog. After several visits, the Chuas finally decided to take care of John, who was registered as a Filipino citizen. John was sent to school and now also plays the lead guitar well every Sunday service at the church.

“I thought that there was already no beacon of hope due to my adversities. In Love the Children Foundation, I was taught of God’s love, learned to face the challenges of life and I became a strong and better person,” said John.

He said, “All the negatives I encountered before have been erased because of the good things planted in me through His grace.”

LTCFI is now also engaging the children into livelihood projects and equipping them in preparation for independent living. They were trained and helped in the production of peanut products of the organization, “Love Nuts”.

The “working boys” are now receiving monthly allowance because of their own efforts. For them one of the best things they value was how to earn money from work.

Their eagerness to achieve their dreams encouraged them to save money. They learned proper time management and self-discipline especially

in not getting tempted to spend their money on unimportant things.

“On top of that they are also doing their best in their studies with the goal of achieving a brighter future,” said Chua.

During the recent Super Typhoon Yolanda that destroyed the Visayas Region, the kids of the foundation took money out of their own savings to donate it to the typhoon victims.

The foundation is now planning to put up a peanut brittle factory, livelihood center for community development, to open up an office and showcase room in downtown area and go for a higher production of peanut products. It wants to open the Early Childhood Care and Development at the compound.

The foundation has also catered 2,000 indigenous beneficiaries in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development for community development and sponsored livelihood projects

“LTCFI serves the community with the vision of transforming lives and equipping children with go d ly inf luence,” s aid Chua.

Primavera Residences awards top realties, brokers and agents Primavera Residences, a green mixed-use development in Uptown Cagayan de Oro, recently paid tribute to its valued realty partners, brokers and agents for being staunch supporters of sustainable development and eco-friendly living in Cagayan de Oro. Last July 18, Primavera Residences awarded the top sellers and brokers at a Greek-themed midyear sales event in the property’s Multi-purpose Hall.

Present during the event were Primavera Residences’ realty partners: Acts Realty, CLM Realty, Slicers Realty, GMC Realty, Nuevo Epoca Realty, RPM Realty, JCA Realty, Majestic Star Realty, Gines Realty, ABB Realty, Danrel Realty, and True Wealthy Realty Corp.

Among those who were given recognition were brokers who sold their first units: Santos Bacong III, Kevin Villaver and Helen Grace Paris.

Primavera Residences also awarded its top realties, namely: RPM Realty, JCA Realty and Majestic Star Realty. RPM Realty took home the top prize, while JCA Realty and Majestic Star Realty came in second and third place, respectively. Each realty was recognized for their dedication and commitment to serving clients with honesty and integrity.

Primavera Residences general manager Cheryll Barriga expressed her appreciation and support for all its realty partners: “Rest assured that Italpinas will always be here for all the brokers and agents who will continue to share their time and expertise with us.”

Italpinas Euroasian Design and EcoDevelopment Corp.

(ITPI) is the developer of Primavera Residences.

Top sellers, on the other hand, were awarded to Santos Bacong III, Susan Golez and Jezrelle James Manrique.

Manrique garnered the top position while Golez took the second place. Bacong III came in third place.

“This night is a night to remember for all of us. It was inspiring and heartwarming to see people like you who support the advocacy of Primavera Residences.

Thank you for helping us as we help you grow with the company, too,” said Barriga who addressed the audience.

Attendees were also treated to a raffle draw where lucky winners took home prizes, including an overnight stay at one of the units in Primavera Residences.

“This has been one of the best years of Italpinas.

We recognize all the agents and brokers’ efforts in supporting us. We will continue to accommodate you with the best of our abilities and motivate you every day to do the extra mile,” Barriga concluded.

Primavera Residences is the first eco-friendly condo property in Northern Mindanao. It has two 10-story towers with commercial and residential units that are ready for occupancy. It was recognized as the Best Mixed-Use Development in the Philippines by the International Property Awards at the recent 2014-2015 Asia Pacific Property Summit in Kuala Lumpur.

Currently, Primavera Residences has sold 92% of its spaces in Tower 1 with only 15 units left, while 87% of Tower 2 has been sold with remaining 26 units.

at 6 o’clock in the morning on Sunday, August 3.

Interested applicants may visit the PMA website (www.pma.ph) or call the office of the Cadet Admission, PMA, Fort del Pilar, Baguio City through mobile phone numbers +63917896-4299, +63928-559-7651 and +63943-705-6890 for more details and information.

Suelto said the entrance examination is the first step in the admission as cadet to the prestigious and renowned Academy that is also the primary source of Armed Forces of the Philippines Officer Corps in all services (Army, Navy and Air Force).

He said once admitted into the Academy, cadets will be free of high quality college education, board and lodging, meals with a basic monthly pay of P27,425, with an additional P6,300allowance as a Probationary 2nd Lieutenant. (PNA)

Victims... from page 8

decided to repair respective damaged houses.

"We're already giving PHP30,000 in home materials assistance," he said.

MNLF rebels entered Zamboanga City on Sept. 9 last year, clashed with government troops and hostaged several people there.

"They used as human shields our countrymen who were living in peace there and even burned down their houses," Mr. Aquino recalled.

He lauded government troops for defending the city and rescuing MNLF's victims amidst the urban combat that erupted there.

To address destruction from the siege, Malacanang tasked Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Rogelio Singson with rehabilitating Zamboanga City's damaged infrastructure.

"Foremost among the needs was providing housing for our countrymen whose houses were burned down," Mr. Aquino said.

He noted addressing problems on securing land was one of the difficulties government encountered in its bid to provide permanent housing for families affected by the siege.

The President said government earlier allocated PHP3.5 billion for rehabilitating the damaged infrastructure, building the beneficiaries' houses and for other support to Zamboanga City.

Government already released to DPWH and National Housing Authority (NHA) a total PHP2.57 billion for the work, he noted.

NHA is government's housing production arm.

(PNA)

He also mentioned that 1,661 families were each provided P30,000 housing assistance and the release of P2.57 billion to the National Housing Authority for the government housing program.

The other projects and activities enumerated by President Aquino included: 1)P2.583 billion for damaged roads and bridges for Cebu and Bohol due to earthquakes in 2013; 2)Livelihood (cash-forwork) projects for Typhoon Yolanda victims; 3)LGU rehabilitation and recovery plan for Cebu, Samar and Leyte.

Mr. Aquino submitted his plans, programs and projects for 2015: 1)Completion of cadastral survey of 1.5 million hectares of agricultural lands under the government agrarian reform program; 2)Bangsamoro Basic Law; 3)P5.17 billion infrastructure projects for ARMM; 4)Building of new power plants to address the looming power crisis; 5) Importation of 500,000800,000 metric tons of rice for buffer stocking; 6)Provision of modern agricultural equipment, rice mills and post harvest facilities to farmers; 7) Supplemental Budget for 2014; and 8)P2.606 trillion 2015 Budget.

8th IB-CAA detachment in Brgy. Hagpa, Impasugong around 8:00 o’clock in the evening, Mangahas said.

Last July 23, the NPA team harassed 8th IB troops on combat operation in Km. 30, Calabugao, Impasugong at about 10:00 o’clock in the morning killing Cpl. Rosendo Sagun and wounding an unidentified soldier, too.

On the morning of July 4, an army soldier was killed and three were wounded when an NPA team engaged in a 30-minute firefight with the army’s 58th IB troops in Brgy. Kibanban, Balingasag, Misamis Oriental, Mangahas said.

In the afternoon of July 4, 2 army soldiers were killed while 2 others were wounded when the pursuing army of the 58th IB and the NPA figured in an encountered in Sitio Kapatagan in Misamis Oriental.

Mangahas said that prior to the July 4 armed skirmishes, the NPA and the army’s 58th IB already figured a two-day running gun battle since July 1 when the two forces engaged in Salay, Misamis Oriental.

During the two separate encounters from July 1 to Juy 2, two soldiers of the army’s 58th IB were killed, Mangahas said.

She said that NPA carried out the armed offensive in line with the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and the National Democratic Front (NDF) directive in response to the military’s massive operations under the Aquino’s “Oplan Bayanihan” campaign.

parents would learn to focus spending for their children’s nutrition instead of other unnecessary needs.”

Apostol is confident that if the government or other institutions like Unicef Philippines will conduct another research in the next two years or so, the infant mortality figure in Northern Mindanao would immensely decrease.

Another key element of these family development sessions is the lecture on birth spacing, he said.

As the country welcomes the birth of the symbolic 100 millionth Filipino, Apostol said, Popcom is emphasizing on the ideal that two children are enough as “replacement fertility” for each Filipino couple.

“If you only have two children, you can concentrate on attending to their well-being – having nutritious food, attend to their emotional needs, assist them in their school homeworks and you have ample money to spend for their other needs such as decent clothing, a decent home, etc. In that way, child mortality will no longer be a problem here,” Apostol said.

Provincial Health Office (PHO) at the provincial capitol compound houses the newly opened pharmacy.

All kinds of medicines are available at the pharmacy. Medicines that could not be provided are to be secured in other pharmacies in the city, he said.

Emano said that the provincial government has entered a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with some pharmacies to secure medicines that are not available in the province-owned pharmacy.

The MisOr CareS is a complete health package designed to respond and extend the health needs of the people of Misamis Oriental Emano said that the province adopted the program in lieu of the PhilHealth program since the provincial government failed to pay more than P 200 million due to PhilHealth in 2012.

He said that the PhilHealth would not renew the holders of PhilHealth cards until the province pays the P 200 million outstanding debt left by the previous administration of Gov. Oscar Moreno.

into another armed confrontation over the unresolved issues would only waste the gains of peace.

Besides, he said, civilians like them are already tired of running for their lives whenever war erupts.

For Ebrahim Macaumbao, a village official, the MILF could not be blamed if they would “react violently” to the alterations in the BBL. Rumors went around that some

MILF members were enraged with the reported changes made by Malacañang in some “key points” in the BBL. “It’s just like a kid crying out loud because he wanted to have a candy. Now if you don’t give him what he wants, he will never stop crying,” Macaumbao added.

But Unsang, speaking in a soft voice, said: “Hindi mabibigo yan” (That wouldn’t fail), referring to the BBL. He said he no longer favors resorting to violence just to attain what the MILF wants for the Bangsamoro people.

Hopeful but worried In Pikit, 41-year-old Dido Kadatuan said she remained hopeful the obstacle in the crafting of the BBL could be hurdled.

However, Kadatuan admitted she was worried that armed conflict may erupt again.

“The reason why we did not return to Barangay Rajamuda was because we are still wary that war could still erupt should negotiations collapse,” said the mother of two who is now living in the town proper.

Kadatuan and her family fled Rajamuda in 2003 and had never returned home. She said that while they were living there the children’s schooling was interrupted every now and then, if not by war between the government and MILF, by rido or clan conflict.

Respect Fatima Tarusan, a barangay health worker, urged the government to respect what has been written in the BBL, saying that the law is based on the teachings of Quran.

“I hope the government will not eliminate or insert some provisions in the BBL. Instead, respect it.

Adhere to the previous agreements in the past to avoid any violence,” said Tarusan.

Like Tarusan, Unsang appealed to the government to retain whatever has been submitted because it may delay the realization of the Bangsamoro government.

On Monday, government chief negotiator Miriam Coronel-Ferrer said that both peace panels are finding good solutions to the sticky issues surrounding the draft BBL. “We met over the weekend and made progress on two important articles pertaining to fiscal autonomy and the structure of the Bangsamoro government,” Coronel-Ferrer said in a statement sent to media.

Earlier, the MILF posted on its website that it will never renegotiate the settled issues, saying, “All those issues that are settled in the FAB and its Annexes will not be subject for renegotiation; and settled language in the FAB and its Annexes will not be subject for renegotiation.”

It added: “If both Parties only abide by these commitments, the process would really move forward faster and save them from some irritating moments in their current engagement. More importantly, the MILF will never renegotiate these settled issues.”

For the villagers in Patot, most of whom had experienced displacement in the previous wars, they couldn’t understand why is it hard for the government to grant their demand.

“We only want to take back what originally belongs to us.

Why can’t the government give us a chance to govern our own people?” Unsang pointed out in front of his fellow villagers.

Tarusan said the government must honor what it had signed with the MILF. “Sino ba ang may gusto ng gulo? Nakakapagod na, kung saan-saan lang kami nakakarating sa pagbabakwit.”

Patot used to be one of the “backdoors” of the former MILF headquarters Camp Abubakar Assidique, which was captured by government troops during the all-out war in 2000.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children: This gospel tells us about the nature of the people in the modern world who are very materialistic and worldly.

Are you worldly? In 1Timothy 6:10-For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Aside from facilitating business

However, this might become the rule should the Cagayan De Oro-based 4th Infantry Division’s coffee planting experiment which was done in partnership with Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Agriculture, Department of Interior and Local Government, Department of Agrarian Reform and Nestle Philippines becomes successful.

These Robusta seedlings were planted to 200-hectate “Coffee Plantation Pilot Project” (CP3) in Camp Kibarita, Bukidnon last July 26.

Major Christian Uy, 4th Infantry Division spokespersom, said the activity is in line with the trust of the Department of National Defense (DND) to generate funds to support the modernization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

The DND-Integrated Business Plan (IBP) Project is being implemented utilizing military reservations.

Uy said the vision of the DNDIBP Project is for the DND/AFP to be self-reliant and a self-sustaining bureau.

The goal is to optimize the

utilization of the potential areas covered by military reservations in the conduct of multiple farm production.

Target of this is agro-industry productions like coffee, Bali Palm oil and other crops.

“All stakeholders involved in this coffee plantation pilot project have done series of planning, research and consultation to ensure its feasibility, acceptability, and suitability in the area.

With this, we have come up with a very sustainable project that will work in many ways. We can help generate funds to help our economy and modernize your soldiers to better serve the Filipino people and at the same time help generate potential employment for more than 200 farmers in the nearby communities,” 4th Infantry Division commander Major Gen. Ricardo Visaya said.

“We have also allocated a portion of it for our brothers who have returned to mainstream society just to make sure that their life with their families will be sustained,” he added.

This 200-hectare land area for CP3 is just the first phase of the overall plan of the DND in its military reservation area in Camp Kibaritan and it is inside the 4th Infantry Division area of responsibility.

This shall be implemented by a domestic corporation which is the Kibaritan Military Reservation

Producers Cooperative (KMRPC).

This cooperative was registered in Cooperative Development Authority on August 13, 2013 in accordance with the Republic Act 9520 with its mandate that is to ensure its proper management and to take appropriate action and expedite the implementation of CP3 in accordance with its guidelines.

The other two phases is still part of land area of Camp Kibaritan but already outside the 4ID area of responsibility. Phase II is an area of Camp Kibaritan with approximately 9,200.66 hectares falling under the area of Municipality of Bumbaran, Lanao Del Sur and it will be surveyed/supervised by 6th Infantry Division.

And finally, the Phase III, another area of Camp Kibaritan with approximately 10,400 hectares situated in the area of the Municipality of Kapai, Lanao Del Sur and will be surveyed/ supervised by the 1st Infantry Division. (PNA)
