Davao Oriental province got 68.2 percent followed by Davao City Second District Rep. Vincent Garcia (67.4%), Alan Dujali of Davao del Norte (67.2%), Ruwel Peter Gonzaga of Davao de Oro with 65.3%.

District representatives in the Davao Region were evaluated by RPMD based on three critical parameters: district representation, legislation, and constituent service.

District representation refers to how effectively the representative addresses their constituents’ concerns and needs. This parameter assesses the representative’s ability to be responsive and proactive in addressing issues related to their district.

Legislation evaluates the representative’s performance in terms of their legislative output. This parameter considers the representative’s role in proposing and passing bills that positively impact their constituents and the community they represent.

Constituent service refers to how well the representative can assist their constituents in accessing government services and programs. This parameter evaluates the representative’s responsiveness and effectiveness in helping their constituents in matters related to government services, such as health care, education, and social welfare.

Dr. Paul Martinez of the RPMD said assessing district representatives based on these parameters comprehensively evaluates their performance and ability to serve their constituents effectively.

“It highlights the importance of the representative’s role in addressing the needs and concerns of their constituents, passing meaningful legislation, and providing quality constituent service,” he said.

He also said that it is crucial to assess the performance of district representatives regularly, as they play a vital role in ensuring that the needs and concerns of their constituents are addressed.

“By evaluating their performance, we can determine if they are fulfilling their duties and responsibilities to the best of their abilities,” Martinez said.

In order to make sure that district representatives are efficiently carrying out their duties, he continued, regular evaluations of their performance are important.

The sampling margin of error is ±1 percent with a 95% confidence level. They were randomly chosen, and the number of respondents per district was distributed proportionally based on official voting population data.

“Taiwan is a very senior population already, and they are really looking into the Philippines to get more talent outside also the usual sectors such as hospitality and medical care, so we’re looking into other sectors as well,” he said.

“I was picked up in Matina at 4:20 a.m. on Tuesday. Ingon siya naa daw event sa Coast Guard Panacan, 5 a.m. mag-start. Niagi mi sa may Diversion Road ug niabot mi sa Buhangin. Habang nagabiyahe mi, tingala ko ngano naabot siya ug Cabantian nga dapat ang dalan sa Panacan straight lang, sulti niya short cut daw. Three times siya nagsulti nako na gusto siya mag-ihi, pagka third time naa siya nakit-an na lugar nga ngitngit, nisulod siya sa dalan nga ngitngit kaayo, walay poste, ug suga. Pag-ingon niya nga mag-ihi daw siya, wala siya nibaba naa siya gikuha sa backseat niya, gikuha niya ang iyahang baril. Gitutukan ko niya sa liog, sulti niya hold-up, gikuha niya akong phone. Wala na ko’y any contact nga mapangayuan ug tabang kay naa sa iyaha ang akoang phone. He said kung gusto daw ko mabuhi sundon daw nako ang iyahang isulti. Mao to didto ko niya gi-rape sa sakyanan.

“We confiscated 10 grams of suspected shabu since it tested positive during the conduct of laboratory examination by PDEA chemist and 1,000 genuine buybust money and one-unit caliber pistol,” Duquiatan said.

The operatives of PDEA 11 conducted case surveillance against the suspect for a month.

Duquiatan said the majority of his patrons are customers of his bar and transactions on illegal drugs were conducted outside the bar.

“We focus on the illegal drug activities on the target since our team also conducted a series of case surveillance and our team identified some of the cohorts of the suspect. Based on our investigation he was a former user of illegal drugs for the past years,” she added.

Duquiatan is encouraging the youth to avoid bars specially if they know that there are illegal drug activities involved.

“If you also view the videos of the netizens who are visiting the bar makikita mo talaga na hindi normal ang ginagawa nila sa loob ng bar. We cannot turn a blind eye to these activities already. Marami ng naging biktima sa illegal na droga and we are afraid that the coming generation ay ma- hook into using illegal drugs and in selling illegal drugs. It is our mandate to enforce the law,” she said. By Maya

She said the suspect threatened her that he would come back if she will report to the police.

Pascual said the recent reforms undertaken by the last 2 administrations, which liberalized foreign ownership in select sectors, could also help boost foreign direct investments.

Among the most attractive sectors to foreign investors is the renewable energy sector, Pascual said.

The government recently revised the implementing rules and regulations of the Renewable Energy Act, allowing 100 percent foreign ownership in renewable energies particularly solar, wind and tidal energy, he said.

Pascual said the recently signed EO that would establish a “green lane” for foreign investors would also entice more businesses to set up shop here.

“There will be hand-holding for investors to go through the process for somebody in the know of the intricacies of dealing with government offices,” he said.

The EO is expected to accelerate the development of the country’s OSW resources and will contribute to the attainment of the aspirational targets of 35 percent and 50 percent renewable energy contribution to the energy generation mix by 2030 and 2040, respectively. (PNA)

The suspect was apprehended by authorites on Saturday at an establishment.

“Nagdecide ako na magreport dito sa NBI-Davao kasi baka gawin ulit or baka mapatay na ako if magkita kami second time,” she said.

Meanwhile, Albao confirmed that the suspect is a personnel of the Philippine Coast Guard assigned in Davao City for almost a year.

“The vehicle that he used was the same vehicle he used during his arrest and the same firearms that he used during the rape incident and the time during the rape incident,” he said.

“tasty bread” (loaf bread) and the local staple “pandesal” (salted bread) raised by 10 percent to 15 percent.

However, Chavez explained that historically, the dry season sees a decline in demand for bread, cakes, and pastries.

“During summer, customers prefer cold and refreshing snacks instead of bread or sandwiches. Our sales are always lower when the temperature is high. It is a bad time to raise prices. Fortunately, inflation on our raw materials has stabilized and we will pass on the benefits to our customers,” he added.

The APP, formerly known as the Cuenca Bakers Association, is symbolically headquartered in the town of Cuenca, Batangas, which is touted as the bakers’ capital of the Philippines.

Albao said that the suspect might be related also to the series of rape incidents in Digos City and Bansalan in Davao del Sur.

We are now conducting a thorough investigation with regards to if the same modus ba kasi firearms are being used,” he said.
