LGU agri office launches National Year of Rice 2013 The LGU-Tacurong Office for the Agricultural Services (OAS) launched the National Year of Rice (NYR) campaign in the city on May 6, 2013. As part of the launching, the NYR banner was raised by OAS with the help of department heads during the LGU’s Monday flag-raising ceremony. NYR carries the theme ‘Sapat na Bigas, Kaya ng Pinas’. Officials and employees of the City Government of Tacurong also pledged to save rice and support the national government’s advocacy for rice self-sufficiency through the recitation of the Panatang Makapalay (Save Rice, Save Lives Pledge). According to City Agriculturist Ramon B. Losañes, the OAS will spearhead extension activities that will increase rice consumers’ awareness on the country’s current scenario of rice production and consumption. OAS hopes that by facilitating

awareness, they will get the support of the people. “We want to inform all rice consumers that they can help our country achieve sufficiency. They can do simple things like, eating other staples aside from rice or cooking just enough rice for the family to reduce rice wastage in the household,” said Losañes. President Benigno S. Aquino III, under Proclamation No. 494, proclaimed 2013 as National Year of Rice. Aside from the goal of achieving rice self-sufficiency, NYR aims to promote better health among rice consumers and increase farmer’s income. NYR was launched in November 2012 during PhilRice’s 27th anniversary. Nationwide caravans and rice awareness campaigns have been conducted since then. Rice self-sufficiency is the country’s capability to sustain the demand of the populace for rice, without relying on importation.

DA to farmers: Produce organic seeds “We encourage you to produce organic seeds because the Department of Agriculture may be buy those seeds to expand organic farming in the region.” This was the message of Regional Director (RD) Jocelyn Torres of DA XII’s High Valued Crops Development Program to the 37 farmers who graduated from Technology Demonstration on Organic Vegetable Production and Farmer Field School (FFS) on March 17, 2013 in Brgy. Carmen, Tacurong City. According to RD Torres, vegetables are not considered organically produced unless these came from organic seeds. With this, farmer’s organic seed production is highly encouraged. Graduates of the said project were composed of farmers from vegetable-producing barangays of the city namely: Barangay San Pablo, New Carmen, Kalandagan, Upper Katungal, Tina, Calean, and New Isabela. The project showcased organic farming technologies and crop diversification through on-farm trials. The said on-farm trials were conducted in Brgy. New Carmen, using 14 vegetable varieties. Eggplant, pechay, and mustard have shown considerably adaptable characteristics to organic technologies, says a report from the City Office for Agricultural Services. The project included 19 training days on soil fertility, composting, organic nutrients preparation, pest and disease management, etc. Joey Columbres, FFS graduate and President of the Organic Vegetable Growers Association of Tacurong City, admits that total shifting to organic farming is not easy. However, he admits that as graduates of FFS, they are now one step ahead in organic production. “We are counting on the continuous support of DA and the LGU because we still have a lot to learn,” said Columbres. He also urged his fellow farmer-graduates to maximize the newly-established Organic Trading Post in the city. The said trading post is a grant from DA as support for the promotion of organic agriculture. The Technology Demonstration on Vegetable Organic Production and FFS was funded by DA-RFO XII, Agricultural Training Institute XII, and LGU-Tacurong City. - Jezereel Louise C. Billano

1,274 SPES grantees celebrate SK Labor Day

One thousand two hundred seventy-four (1,274) grantees of the Special Program for the Employment of Students (SPES) from all over Sultan Kudarat (SK) Province gathered for the annual Labor cum SPES Day celebration on May 1, 2013 at the City Gymnasium, Tacurong City. SPES delegations from 12 LGUs, schools, and agencies showcased their talent and teamwork through the Yelling Contest and Pop Dance Competition. LGU-Tacurong delegation won the gold in the Yelling Contest while SK Provincial Capitol delegation took home the gold for the pop dance competition. According to DOLE-Sultan Kudarat Provincial Director Arlene Bisnon, this gathering aims to facilitate healthy interaction among SPES grantees and boost each delegation’s team spirit. This annual gathering, which has been conducted for 5 years now, is the only SPES provincial gathering in Region XII. This year’s celebration is sponsored by the DOLE-SK in partnership with LGU-Tacurong. “The city government is very willing to work with DOLE in terms of empowering constituents with employment and livelihood opportunities,” said Tacurong City Mayor Lina O. Montilla. The following are the participating LGUs, schools, and agencies with their corresponding number of SPES grantees: LGU-President Quirino (90); LGU-Lambayong (41); LGU-Tacurong (270); LGU-Isulan (200); SK Provincial Capitol (261); Quezon Colleges of Southern Philippines (17); Archdiocesan Notre Dame Schools of Cotabato (210); Notre Dame of Tacurong College (56); Southern Mindanao Institute of Technology (36); Tacurong Fit Mart (25); Kimsan Inc.

Regional Director Ofelia Domingo of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) XII described the DOLE-Public Employment Service Office (PESO) and Sultan Kudarat-Tripartite Industrial Peace Council’s free education program for working children in the public markets as manifestation of a true public-private partnership in action. DOLE and SK-TIPC, together with the Public Employment Service Offices of Tacurong City and Isulan distributed school supplies, slippers and raincoats to 52 elementary and 11 high school students in a program held on June 13, 2013 at the Notre Dame of Tacurong College. Thirty-nine of the beneficiaries are residents of Tacurong while 25 came from the neighboring town of Isulan. Said students known as “mga batangpalengke” are beneficiaries of the Knowledge Program for Intermittent Thriving Children (KPITC) who have been enjoying the educational assistance for three years now. Director Domingo, Tacurong Mayor Lina Montilla and Isulan Mayor Diosdado Pallasigue led the distribution of the school kits to the beneficiaries. TIPC members and PESO Managers in the Province of Sultan Kudarat also attended the event. Apart from receiving school supplies and other kits, the children are also regularly benefiting from the free medical and dental check-ups done by the Isulan Medical Specialist Center Incorporated and the Sultan Kudarat Doctors Hospital, two of

SK-TIPC’s member organizations. The Local Government Units (through their Local Health Offices) provide medicines to beneficiaries who are diagnosed of illnesses. In her message, Director Domingo lauded the DOLE-PESO and SK-TIPC’s initiative. She even mentioned that the KPITC had preceded DOLE’s HELP-ME (Health, Education, Livelihood and ProtectionMonitoring, Evaluation) convergence initiative seeking to address the problem of child labor in the country. While the HELP ME program just rolled out in 2013, DOLE-PESO and SK-TIPC’s Knowledge Program had been assisting children who are at risk of child labor since 2010. “This KPITC is a source of pride for Region 12 and is truly a public-private partnership in action because of the convergence of various organizations desiring to eliminate child labor,” Director Domingo said. Domingo also cited Provincial Head Arlene Bisnon and the DOLE-SK Field Office in spearheading the implementation of the project. “The SK Field Office once again proved that it is worthy of its award as the Best Organizational Unit in DOLE 12 for three consecutive years,” she said. Children at risk of child labor In 2011, DOLE-Sultan Kudarat Field Office identified 100 boys and girls in Tacurong and Isulan who were considered at risk of child labor.

LGU to allocate P800 thousand peso-budget for SPES 2014 Tacurong City Mayor Lina O. Montilla signified her commitment to allocate PhP800,000.00 for the 2014 implementation of the Special Program for the Employment of Students (SPES) in the local government unit. LGU-Tacurong SPES grantees were happy to hear such good news during their 2013 culmination program on May 30, 2013 in Monte Vicenteau Resort, New Passi, Tacurong City. “If we stick to the regular budget for SPES, which is Php400,000.00 per year, 186 new SPES grantees will surely not be absorbed next year unless they take and pass another qualifying exam,” said the Mayor. In the past years, SPES budget allocation only amounted to PhP400,000.00 which can only accommodate 150 grantees.

For 2013, the SP Committee on Finance approved additional Php400,000.00 thereby increasing the budget to Php800,000.00. Subsequently, this resulted to an increased number of students hired for LGU employment this summer of 2013. Currently, LGU-Tacurong has a total of 270 SPES grantees—the largest number of grantees in LGUs in the province of Sultan Kudarat. “Through time, I realized that SPES is not just about salary. It’s an opportunity for all of us to prove ourselves and our potentials despite of who we are and what we have,” said SPES grantee John Michael Lancita. SPES is a program implemented by the Department of Labor and Employment in partnership with local government units, national government agencies, and private institutions. -Jezereel Louise C.

Ranie Hachuela, ang panauhing pandangal ng nasabing pagdiriwang. “Ang kalayaan ay hindi para magawa mo ang kahit anong gusto mong gawin,” wika ni P/Supt. Hachuela,. “Ang tunay na diwa ng kalayaan at demokrasya ay ang pagtutulungan at pagkakaintindihan ng mga Pilipino. Nakalaya na tayo sa paniniil ng mga dayuhan. Sana ay matigil na rin ang labanan ng mga Pilipino laban sa kapwa Pilipino,” dagdag niya. Nagsagawa naman ng Parade and Review ang Tacurong Philippine National Police at st 601 Brigade-Philippine Army. Ang ika-115 anibersary ng Araw ng Kalayaan ay may temang Kalayaan 2013: Ambagan Tungo sa Malawakang Kaunlaran. -Jezereel Louise C. Billano

LGU, PA pay tribute to WWII veterans

“On this day, we recognize the heroes responsible for our freedom...those who died for it and those who are still here to tell us their story.” That was how Col. Edmundo R. Pangilinan summed up the purpose of the 71st commemoration of the Araw ng Kagitingan conducted by LGU-Tacurong and Philippine Army (PA) on April 9, 2013, City Hall Grounds. Col. Pangilinan served as the Guest Speaker of the program devoted to honoring the heroes of World War II. The program was graced by the presence of veterans residing in the city namely Pvt. Jovencio Ledda (92 years old), Mr. Santos Laygan (97 yrs old), Pvt. Eugenio Somera (89 yrs old), and Private First Class Bernardo Francisco (91 yrs old). Pfc. Francisco shared his memoirs as a young soldier during the War. As a 21-year old lad in the 1930s, he was one of those who were trained as Philippines’ reserve forces. He reported to the nearest camp in Panay, following the order of then Pres. Manuel Quezon after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and of the military bases in the country. They fought the Japanese forces in Panay. After several battles, his team was captured by the Japanese forces. He was imprisoned and forced to serve as a laborer to Japanese soldiers. “Nakita ko kung paaong pahirapan at patayin ang mga kapwa ko Pilipino,” he shared. He felt helpless during those moments. After nine months, he escaped from the garrison with two Filipino comrades. He became a Philippine Scout in 1946 and was discharged in 1949. LGU-Tacurong and PA value stories shared by veterans such as Pfc. Francisco as part of the rich oral history of the War. “The freedom you fought for us shall be the freedom we shall truly defend. Where you are relieved of your duties, we shall carry on,” said Col. Pangilinan as he gave his snappy salute to the guest veterans. The 601st Brigade, 6th Infantry Battalion, PA conducted the pass and review in honor of the guest veterans. The wreath laying ceremony was led by Mayor Lina O. Montilla and Vice Mayor Charito L. Collado. - Jezereel Louise C. Billano

A participant of the Barangay DRRM orientation tries the zipline.

Fifty-four community workers and leaders of Barangay Upper Katungal, Tacurong City learned the basics of disaster preparedness and response in an orientation on Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) and Climate Change Adaptation on June 10-11, 2013. Among the participants were barangay officials, purok presidents, barangay health workers, day care workers, teachers, and civilian volunteers. The activity familiarized the participants on the current DRRM situation of the Philippines and the salient features of Republic Act 10121 or the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of the Philippines. The lectures were delivered by City DRMM Council Officer Eufemia Robles and City Local Government Operations

Officer Alberto Sero Jr. Tacurong City Responsive Assistance and Coordinated Emergency Search and Rescue (TRACER) also demonstrated basic skills on search and rescue. As part of the orientation, TRACER also facilitated application of basic rope skills and swimming lessons in Marguez Resort, Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat. “Nagapasalamat kami nga sa bisan nubo nga panahon, na-orient kami paano mag-rescue sang nabiktima sang typhoon, earthquake kag flooding,” said Barangay Health Worker Irene Gentison. Aside from being thankful, participants were challenged with the new things they learned. “Kung kinahanglan kita, ara kita dayon kay trained kita as rescuer. Kung may emergency, responde kita dayon,” said DepEd representative Randy Oñate. TRACER team member Sausalito Manoy hopes that all barangays will be trained on disaster preparedness and response to make the city more disaster-resilient. “Gusto man naton nga maka-conduct man ta sang Search and Rescue Olympics diri sa aton syudad,” added Manoy. - Jezereel Louise C.

who are market vendors by selling cellophanes, vegetables, and other products. Bisnon shared the observation in one of the meetings of SK-TIPC, in which she sits as the chairperson. Driven by the desire to help the children at risk, the council agreed to initiate a project that would help the children with the primary objective of encouraging the parents to prioritize their children’s studies instead of work. That was the time when the KTIPC was conceptualized. Under the KPITC project, the DOLE identified children of market vendors in Tacurong and Isulan who were attending school but were going to work in the market after school hours and on weekends. The DOLE and SK-TIPC explained to the parents that the educational expenses of their children will be shouldered by benefactors as long as they would promise to let their children finish school. Under the program, Notre Dame of Tacurong College (a TIPC member) provides the classrooms and volunteer teachers for the special Saturday classes of the students. Bisnon revealed that most, if not all, of vendors’ children who go to school performs poorly in classes they lack time and a conducive environment for reviewing their lessons. Bisnon noted that the special classes attended by these children proved to be beneficial as seen in the improvement of their grades in school. All pioneering members of the SK-TIPC including the KARBEMPCO, Tacurong Parish, Kenram Industrial Development Corporation, and the Isulan Medical Specialist Center among others sponsor their own KP beneficiaries by providing for thestudents’ tuition fees. Other benefactors are public officials and private individuals. The DOLE-PESO and SK-TIPC, motivated by their end goal to eliminate child labor, continue to attract various organizations to join the cause. The Isulan Chamber of Commerce and Tacurong Filipino Chamber of Commerce are some of the newest benefactors of the KPITC.

TRACER members teach participants the basics of swimming.

Livelihood assistance for children’s parents The KPITC boosted its holistic approach in helping the children by also providing livelihood assistance to their parents through the DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP). On June 13, right after the distribution of educational kits to the children, Director Domingo turned over fourteen Nego-Karts to each of the fourteen parents of the beneficiaries in Tacurong. Bisnon said that the Nego-Karts will be a huge help to the parents because they now have decent display carts for their products instead of putting them on the sidewalks. The carts would also allow the vendors to increase their daily income because they can now roam around the public market. “We are making another proposal to the regional office so that other parents of the KP beneficiaries could receive the same livelihood assistance soon,” Bisnon added. In March 2012, twenty parents of KPITC beneficiaries in Isulan also received livelihood starter kits from the DOLE. - Allan Freno

‘I am now more trustworthy and fulfilled’—C4TP graduate Rowena Bermudo, 27, had been an ambulant food vendor since her late teens. After spending just a month in college as a Hotel and Restaurant Management student in Iloilo, she was forced to return to Tacurong to be her family’s bread-winner. She had to stop her studies when her mother got seriously ill. Weng, as she is fondly called by her customers, is very persistent in doing business. She sells her food items in government offices, battling the heat and even rain during weekdays. “Napatapos ko ang manghud ko sa pag eskwela tungod diri sa pagbaligya-baligya ko,” she proudly shared. Determined as she is to provide for her family, she joined the Cash for Training Program of DSWD, TESDA, and LGU-Tacurong in February 2013 along with other out-ofschool youth in Tacurong. Weng is one of the 19 trainees of C4TP’s Commercial Cooking (National Certificate Level II or NCII) course. At the same time, 21 youths were trained for Housekeeping NCII course. Tacurong C4TP scholars, like Weng, were identified by the City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD). Each scholar received assistance amounting to PhP20,000. This amount included tuition/training fee, allowance, etc. The courses were facilitated by Sultan Kudarat Educational Institution or SKEI. Weng and her classmates underwent 463 hours of training. Managing her time for training and work may seem

difficult but Weng never thought of dropping out especially when she realized the positive effect of C4TP on her trade. “May bag-o ako nga knowledge kag ideas, pareha sang mga garnish kag iban pa nga nagamit ko sa pagluto kag pagbaligya ko,” she said. After their training, Weng and other C4TP scholars passed the national assessment for NCII. They finally graduated on May 20, 2013. Weng, as a C4TP graduate, claims that she feels fulfilled with this new accomplishment in her life. “Daku guid ni nga tabang sa akon. Una, may knowledge na ako, may bag-o nga ideas kag mas nagsalig ang mga customers ko sa akon kay tinapusan ko ini,” she said beaming. “Na-proud man ako sa sarili ko..may fulfillment,” she added. C4TP commercial cooking course graduates like Weng were provided with P6,000.00-worth of new cooking utensils while housekeeping graduates received the second wave of their allowance worth P7,000.00. Weng said that she plans to continue selling food items in offices. And, she will soon establish a small ‘carenderia’ in front of her home with her newly-acquired skills, new tools, and with a little bit more of self-esteem. Jezereel Louise C. Billano

40 out-of-school youths pass NC II exam Forty out-of-school youths (OSYs) of the City of Tacurong under the Cash for Training Program (C4TP) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) passed the assessment for Commercial Cooking-National Certificate Level II (NC II) and HousekeepingNC II. Of the 40 OSYs, 21 were trained on Housekeeping NCII while 19 were trained on Commercial Cooking NCII. They were conferred as graduates of the C4TP on May 20, 2013. The Housekeeping course is under C4TP’s wageemployment (trabaho) component, while Commercial Cooking is under the project’s self-employment (hanapbuhay) component. Each graduate received P20,000 assistance which included tuition/training fees, allowance, and cooking tool kits for those who chose the selfemployment component. Each tool kit received by a graduate is worth P6,000.00. DSWD partnered with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the City Government of Tacurong in conducting the said training for the city’s youth. The graduates were trained for 463 hours by the Sultan Kudarat Educational Institution (SKEI), a

TESDA-accredited school in the city. TESDA Regional Director Zeus Ampuyas and TESDA OIC-Provincial Director Reynaldo Bernal personally congratulated the graduates. They also expressed their intent to work with the City Government of Tacurong for more programs that will empower disadvantaged youths and unemployed individuals. “Indi guid ninyo pagsayangon ang chance nga ini..nga ginatabangan ta sang TESDA kag DSWD. Also, you are rest assured that blessings like this will keep coming in the city,” said Mayor Lina Montilla. A 5-million livelihood program will soon be implemented in the city, with other towns to also benefit. Mayor Montilla also thanked the City Social Welfare and Development Office for encouraging participants to pursue their courses. Moreover, Councilor Rodrigo Jamorabon posed a challenge to the graduates. “Nalipay kami nga nakagraduate na kamo pero mas malipay kami kung makita na namon kamo nga ginagamit ang mga natun-an nyo..I believe you will make a difference in your family..by then, we will know that the investment on each of you is really worth it.” - Jezereel Louise C.

SEAOIL extends Php 50,000 grant for DMJGMCS Grade 3 pupils of Don Manuel J. Griño Memorial Central School (DMJGCS) in Brgy. Griño, Tacurong City will benefit from SEAOIL’s 50,000-grant through its Champions for Good Governance and Education Program. SEAOIL granted the said amount because LGU-Tacurong’s project proposal ranked third among 18 other proposals submitted by LGUs and schools in Mindanao. LGU-Tacurong proposed Project PEACE (Promoting and Empowering Actions for Children’s Education)—a multi-stakeholder project designed to enhance existing DMJGCS interventions for the improvement of Grade 3 pupils’ performance in reading and math, and for reduction of drop-out and failure rates. To do this, Project PEACE plans to formulate a common reading plan for teachers and students, provide additional reading materials, and conduct a reading and math camp. Project PEACE also aims to increase the involvement of parents and community stakeholders in addressing the school’s concerns. “We chose DMJGCS because it had the highest drop-out rate among the public elementary schools in the city in SY

2011-2012. Records also show that NAT average scores of Grade 3 pupils have not surpassed the 65% mark since 2007-2012,” said Councilor Psyche M. Sucaldito. For the whole project to materialize, the Php 50,000-budget from SEAOIL will be supplemented by LGU funds and assistance from non-government organizations. The project proposal is now being enhanced based on additional recommendations of SEAOIL and Kaya Natin! Movement. In February 2013, SEAOIL called for submission of project proposals that aim to address problems in basic education in a specific community. SEAOIL accepted proposals that specifically aim to increase students’ National Achievement Tests (NAT) scores and/or increase in student completion rates in the elementary and secondary level. Champions for Good Governance and Education program is sponsored by SEAOIL in partnership with Kaya Natin!
