iLAB Siquijor: Igniting Isla de Fuego on FIRe

On its third day, workshop Graphic Designer and Creative Enteepreneur AJ Dimarucot taught the students how to be OFWs (online Filipino workers) and get paid in dollars.

“One of my personal goals this year is to start going grassroots in change-making for Filipinos all over the country. And it starts with planting seeds into the minds of young students in the provinces, where the general belief is that they are inadequate, or “not ready,” AJ said in his iLabSiquijor FB post.

With his dream of making all become OFWs, he said “there is no need to export people when we can export ideas and creative products.

“Because there is an abundance of opportunities online for designers/creatives and entrepreneur,” he said to his students while inspiring them to “one day, to claim their rightful share of the world.”

Day four is about Entrepreneurship on iLab Creative Siquijor Workshop where the students learn how to produce great designs and print them on tee shirts with Founder and CEO of Uniform Solutions Jonas Quilantang.

Day five is on Branding and Brand Designs process with Managing Creative Director of Innovative Hub (iHub) and program director/CCO of NS Network Rico Bicero.

Last day of the workshop series is on May 31, which tackles Branding and New Media Strategy focusing on how to implement branding and social media strategies in business with Brand Strategist and NS Mentor Eunice Enrera.

“I am thankful that they teamed up with us because my number one goal right now is to produce designers, at least one, or maybe all of these students. We are connecting them to our local producers to make their logo designs, and labelling and packaging to improve, Gonzalez also said.

On the other hand she said she is hoping to turn the students to online Filipino workers (OFWs), at the same time give them the opportunity to be connected with the mentors.

“It’s so cool, Ma, I am learning a lot.

Makatabang gyud ni nako” (this will really

help me) says Chiara, an incoming Grade 11 who said she has special interest on arts and designs, as she braggingly showed her mother her creation each day— from comic, t-shirts, mugs, to logo designs and branding.

Coupled with the mentors’ encouragement, her eagerness is very apparent when she refuses to miss a day of the series even with her enrolment schedule, and her excitement to do the homeworks to present, explain and defend the next day.

But Gonzalez added that May 31 is not the end, it is the beginning of their mentoring. It is just a teaser of what we will be expecting next year for iLab Siquijor, she quipped.

NFA-Siquijor hits 2018 collection target

SIQUIJOR (PIA)--The National Food Authority (NFA) in Siquijor hits its 2018 target as it reaches the 100% accomplishment for license renewals and applications.

N FA I n f o r m a t i o n O f f i c e r ,

Carmiencita Enriquez presented the reults during the Siquijor Association of Information Disseminators (SAID) monthly gathering held recently at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Mini-

A plastic bag used for only around 25 minutes takes between 100 and 500 years to disintegrate. A whopping one million plastic bags are used around the world every minute and 80 percent of marine garbage is plastic.

International Plastic Bag Free Day is dedicated to heightening awareness about these very real and pressing issues brought about by this most popular of disposable carrying devices.

Encourage everyone to design and campaign for an alternative, like making reusable bags from recycled textiles.

Proclamation No. 643 signed in 2004 institutionalized the observance of Philippine Arbor Day every June 25.

The proclamation highlighted the need to declare one day each year for the conduct of #tree planting activities to promote a healthier ecosystem for people.

Function Room, Pier Area, Larena, Siquijor.

According to Enriquez, NFA Industry Services Department (ISD) and the Security Services and Investigation Department (SSID) conducted the accomplishment inspection.

Enriquez said NFA was able to allocate NFA rice to government and private establishments like Institutionalized Bigasan sa Palengke at 11, 258 sacks; 21 Bigasan sa Barangay Outlet, 117 sacks; Barangay Bagsakan, 907 sacks; DSWD-Supplemental Feeding Program, 167 sacks; Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), 71; Employees’ Rice Allowance, 8; Rice Subsidy – Employees, 62; OTM - PAGASA , 6; and Other Consumers, 16.

A total of 33, 685 sacks were provided to all these establishments and consumers by the NFA, Enriquez said.

Enriquez also explained that Rice distribution of NFA- Siquijor for 2018 reached 33, 685 bags which is equivalent to 61% of the targeted 55,500 bags.

NFA’s market participation is 16.70% of the rice demand requirement of the province which is 201, 600 bags per annum, she said.

She also added that distribution this year decreased by 18.5% compared to last year’s actual sales of 41,333 bags due to the inavailability of NFA rice during the second and third quarter.

In January last year, NFA-Siquijor had 10, 179 bags of NFA rice, a commendable source to cover the operational and food security requirements of Siquijor province.

The total inflow from NFA Cebu Provincial Office through chartered vessel is 34, 883.23 bags of 50 kilograms each.

NFA Siquijor ’s actual ending inventory level of imported rice stood at 11, 379 bags as of December 31, 2018 and is set to last for 20 days, she said. (I.A.Abatayo)

Cebuano News Molmol, angay panalipdan pasanayon, dili na kuhaon

Nasayud ka ba nga ang bonbon sa kabaybayonan dili lang nahimo tungod sa pagpangapugday sa gasang nga ma-ligsan sa dagkong bawod ug uban pa’ng pwersa nga makapulpog niini?

Piskay man nga higda-higdaan samtang nagpa-init sa adlaw, dako nga

bahin sa bonbon nga imong gilubgan, ginawas sa ginhawaan sa mga isda nga molmol.

Lami-an lutuon nga inun-onan o nilarang, maayo usab nga kilawon, ang molmol maoy usa sa mga naghatag og pino nga bon-bon, nga iyang kinalibang.

DOST, magpatuman og programa nga makatabang sa mga SMEs sa nasud

Giduso karon sa Department of Science and Technology (DOST) ang programang Collaborative Research and Development to Leverage Philippine Economy (CRADLE) aron matabangan ang mga small and medium enterprise (SME) sa nasud.

Kauban usab niining programa ang mga unibersidad, research ug development institute (RDI).

Pinaagi sa CRADLE program, mas mapalig-on ang gasa sa pagsiksik ug pagpalambo sa mga academic institutions,

RDIs ug SMEs.

Kauban usab sa programa ang paghatag sa DOST og financial support sa mga SME.

Sa pagkakaron, may 18 ka SMEs nga mahatagan og benepisyo sa maong programa sama nalang sa Batangas Egg Producers Cooperative, Carolina Bamboo Garden, Hijo Corporation, Monde Nissin Corporation ug uban pa.

Ang mga unibersidad usab nga kauban niini mao ang University of the

Bukas usab ang programang CRADLE sa DOST sa Business Innovation through Science and Technology (BIST) program.

Kalabot niini, gi-awhag sa DOST ang mga interesado sa maong programa sa pagduso kanila og proposal hangtod sa Hulyo 16, 2019.

Ang mol-mol o sa inengles, parrot fish may mga sungo nga sama sa periko ug ang iyang kolor, sama usab ka anindot sa mga mabulokon nga langgam.

Ang molmol ang iyang kanonon kadtong mga lumot nga kasagaran manuksok sa mga gingi-gingi sa mga gasang ug bato-bato sa dagat.

Matud sa usa ka diver nga si Holger Horn, ang molmol usa sa labing importante nga isda sa kadagatan sa Panglao.

Nobenta porsyento sa kinabuhi sa molmol, nag-ob-ob og bato ug patay nga gasang

Aron makuha kining mga lumot, kitkiton sa molmol ang mga bato ug tupsan, samtang nagkaon sa mga lumot, ang bato nga gikitkit, gigaling sa tiyan ug kadtong dili na mahilis pa, igawas nga bonbon.

Gani, sa mga tigpamana, usa sa ilang mga timailhan sa molmol, kon may agbon sa bonbon nga nagagikan sa tiyan sa isda.

Ang molmol, sa uban nga kultura sa kalibutan, giisip nga pagkaon sa mga hari, apan dinhi sa ato, padayon nga gikuha aron sud-anon.

Tungod niini, may kahingawa na nga gipadayag ang uban nga mga tigpanawom ug kadtong may kaikag nga ipatunhay ang kahimtang sa kadagatan.

Kon ipadayaon ug dili kahimoan og paagi, mahimo nga masubrahan og kuha ang mga molmol, nga makaapekto unya sa kabaybayonan, gawas pa nga kini sila maoy nagkontrolar sa pagdaghan sa lumot sa kabaybayonan.

Gani, butyag sa langyaw nga diver nga nanimuyo na sa Bohol, ang labing mahinungdanon nga trabaho sa molmol mao ang paglimpyo sa mga kapasilan ug kagasangan gikan sa mga lumot, nga makapatay usab sa gasang.

Kon magpadayon ang pagpanguha sa molmol ug pagpakunhod sa iyang gidaghanon, mahimo nga mameligro ang mga gasang tungod kay ang tiglimpyo niini, gihurot na’g kaon sa tawo.

Tungod niini, hangyo ni Horn, ayaw nag kuhaa ug likay ang pagpalit niining matang sa isda.

May importante pa kini nga manglimpyo sa kagasangan ug manghimo og bonbon kay dahgan na nag isda ang nahanaw na sa mga kagasangan sa Bohol, panapos nga hangyo ni Horn, kinsa commander sa Auxiliary Coast Guard sa Bohol. (rahc/PIA-7/Bohol)
