NEA forms Duterte Task Force to rehab 11 ailing power cooperatives By CHA MONFORTE
National Electrification Administration chief Edgardo Masongsong bared last week that his office has formed the Task Force Duterte Northern Davao Power to troubleshoot and rehabilitate 11 ailing electric cooperatives, most of them are in Mindanao. At the press conference in Davao City, Masongsong said that the task force was formed last month, but it has made some inroads already like in the ailing electric cooperatives in ARMM areas particularly the Lanao Del Sur Electric Cooperative. He cited that of the 121 electric coops in the country, 11 were categorized by NEA as ailing cooperatives - “almost all” of these are located in ARMM. “May unique condition kasi ang Lanao del Sur, subukan mong kulektahing lahat , and on the next day, tumba lahat yang transmission towers,” Masongsong said in jest, apparently referring to low collection problems in those areas. He cited the factors of calamity, peace and order, political intervention and governance issues as contributing causes why electric coops became ailing as See forms, page A3

cautions public vs. EU hails signing of the Interim DOH six ‘summer’ diseases Joint Ceasefire Agreement The European Union (EU) hailed the Interim Joint Ceasefire Agreement signed by the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDGP) during the 4th round of peace talks in The Netherlands. In a press statement, EU,
that has 28-member states, said it “stands ready to support the implementation of the agreement.” “This Interim Agreement demonstrates the power of political processes to resolve conflict. It is an encouraging step towards generating goodwill and trust in the peace negotiations, to
encourage the forging of a more stable and comprehensive Joint Ceasefire Agreement and to provide an enabling environment for an early signing of a comprehensive Agreement on Social and Economic Reforms,” the statement said. On April 5, 2017, the
GRP and the NDFP reached an Agreement on an Interim Joint Ceasefire which is to be effective until a permanent ceasefire agreement is forged as part of a Comprehensive Agreement on End of Hostilities and Disposition of Forces. Both panels tried to break See agreement, page A3
The Department of Health (DOH) has warned of six illnesses that could spoil one’s summer vacation. Health Secretary Dr. Paulyn Ubial identified the six common summer diseases as sore eyes, ‘sipon at ubo’ (colds and cough), ‘sakit sa balat’ (skin diseases), sunburn, ‘sakmal ng aso ‘ (dog bite), and ‘suka’t tae’ (stomach illnesses). For a stress-free summer
break, Ubial shared some tips on how to avoid these ailments. She said sore eyes, which could lead to blindness if not treated properly, are highly communicable but could be prevented by the frequent and correct washing of hands. Colds and coughs may result from the erratic weather, the health chief said, noting See cautions, page A3

important things. “Putting first things first.” Plan your time around the most important BIG things in your life. Then you can get to the little t h i n g s t h at t a k e y o u r time. To live a happier life we need to work on our perspective and priorities. “WE CAN TRULY ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING IF WE USE OUT TIME WISELY.” 3. PERSEVERE -Life is filled with setbacks and unexpected twists and turns. However, in the words of Aldous Huxley, “Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you.” By mastering some simple coping techniques, you can turn you r lu ck arou nd and get back on your feet, whatever life throws your way. We should get rid of anything that holds us back from pursuing your goals. Some things take time. 4. PRAY - In diff ic u lt or dis courag ing times, we need to pray. We achieve success only by relying on Jesus for guidance and strength.

to achieve their goals? One theory is that background, education, and ability are the main factors. But why, then, do we hear stories of victory achieved by people who have come from difficult backgrounds, struggled with disabilities, or had little instruction? Surely, s ome t h i ng el s e d e te rmines w het her we accomplish our objectives. Here, we see the keys to success. 1. PLAN AHEAD – Plan ahead and set goals. What do you hope to be ten years from now? Do you want to do things that have meaning and make a difference? Most of us have hundreds of things on our wish list of things we want to do, from travel around the world to buying our dream home. However, if you want to effectively tackle an important goal, it is imp or t ant not to overload yourself and to go after one ambition at a time, starting with the goal most important to your overall happiness.

How do you define success? A b a s ke t b a l l c o a c h might define success as w inning a nat iona l championship. A salesman might define success as being number one on the company. A student might define success as earning a degree. A mother might define success as having a lovely home. A businessman might define success as earning a million pesos A parent might define success as raising Godly children. D ef init ions tend to come and go, depending on whom you ask and when you ask. Contrary to the word’s common definition—which usually involves fame, fortune, or power—true success means becoming the people God wants us to be and reaching the goals He has set for our lives. What causes some people to fail and others
Focus on what truly matters and life will have a way to be that much brighter and fulfilling. Important to choose a goa l t hat is att ainable and which fits with your talents, lifestyle and who you are as a p ers on – don’t go after a goal just because it is something you feel you do. Make the right CHOICE. When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most p ersonal version of your life stor y, t he telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end, we are our choices. Build yourself a great stor y. 2. PRIORITIZE -It’s e a s y to ge t c au g ht up on t he l e ss i mp or t ant things in life and lose focus on what matters m o s t . Br ai ns tor ms on the things that you do that wastes lots of your time, sometimes these things are fun and relaxing. If you do them too much though, they may get in the way of the
by taxpayers’ money. It is therefore important that scientists share their work with the public. Also, fundamental sciences such as cosmology and particle physics exert
a fascination for the public as they address questions about the fundamental nature and origin of our universe. Therefore, a working scientist must do his or her best to engage the public in a dialogic encounter about the importance of science and the way it can change our entire outlook on the cosmos. To study something, scientists use money, thought and people to build. Some of those things fly way
above us. Some are deep inside the ground. Some are large rings that make tiny pieces of normal matter kiss each other as they fly around very fast – almost as fast as light. We hope that we can hear the whisper of dark matter if we listen carefully. We take all the whispers that we listen to and put them together on computers. It is in this context that science communication is needed.

characterized by their high power debts, matured debts, loan restructuring actions, low collection and others. “ Yong political interventions can be yong pakikialam sa mga politiko sa electric cooperatives o yong hindi pagbabayad ng municipal o provincial government sa kanilang electric bill,” he said, adding that the State-run PSALM is currently saddled with P11 billion power debts. Masongsong expressed optimism on the current straightening drive of General Acmad Mamalinta, the manager of the electric coop in Lanao del Sur, where Mindanao hydropower source, Lake Lanao, sits. The 11 ailing electric coops affect over 11.6 million members, consumers while as of December last year there were 23,464 ‘ sitios’ that were not yet energized since time immemorial, over 11,000 of which are in Mindanao, which become the challenge of Duterte adminisNOTICE NOTICE is hereby given that the estate of PETRA C. BABIA, who died on April 28, 2011 in Buenavista, Agusan del Norte, consisting of a parcel of land located at Libertad, Butuan City covered by TCT No. RT-28933 containing an area of 300 square meters, is the subject of an AFFIDAVIT OF SELF-ADJUDICATION executed by deceased Petra C. Babia’s only surviving heir, namely, Felisa B. Arboladura, adjudicating unto herself aforesaid parcel of land, per Doc.

tration to wipe up in the next five years in its thrust of giving reliable, efficient, affordable and cheap power supply to the Filipinos. As to Davao del Norte Electric Cooperative, Inc. ( Daneco , Inc.) that suffered series of killings of its spokesmen and a general manager by yet unknown forces, Masongsong warned that the so-called “ Daneco -CDA” group “will suffer if they continue to operate... in clandestine way.” The NEA and CDA led by President Duterte appointees are now working jointly to solve the Daneco problem, even as a source said that Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco had accordingly fumed mad over the killing of Daneco general manager Maximo Roxas Jr October last year. He wanted that Roxas’ killing should already be “the last” and Daneco problem relating “Daneco CDA” group should finally end during Duterte administration, the source said. On the still unrevoked CDA registration of the now scarce rival group, Masongsong said, “the pressure is now at the CDA” even as he reechoed that the Supreme Court had already

Monday, April 10, 2017 rendered a decision that the “Daneco CDA was illegally constituted”. There is a need to know why the group has continued to operate clandestinely, Masongsong told reporters. Last month, the “ Daneco CDA” group held its purported general assembly and managed to gather tens of hundreds of Daneco members. Daneco , Inc. spokesmen who were killed, reportedly stemming from the conflict were its paid broadcaster Tata Butalid in 2014 and board president and mediaman Loloy Ybanez in 2015. Its current OIC general manager Benedicto Ongking also survived a slay try by unidentified riding in tandem in 2013. Meanwhile, it was also learned during the press con Thursday last week at Ponce Suites, that the National Summit of Electric Cooperatives and the NEA-EC national consultative conference will be held in Tagum City on April 26 and April 2728, respectively. NEA’s press con last week also presented the newly formed National Center of Electric Coop Consumers (NCECCO),
Inc. Officials also dispelled insinuation that the NCECCO would become a party list in future elections in 2019, but was created to reportedly assist and become the NEA’s watchdog. Masongsong also said that pursuant to the vision of President Duterte, NEA is veering away from being “infrastructure focused to sustainable, globally competitive electric coops with empowered member-owners and with NEA that is dynamic and responsive.”

the impasse to move forward hoping to attain long lasting peace and put an end to the almost five-decade insurgency. This after President Rodrigo Duterte alerted the GRP panel not to push through with the 4th round of talks until after his four conditions were met. The four conditions were the immediate release of captured police and military personnel, the signing of a bilateral ceasefire agreement; a stop to the alleged extortion activities of rebels; and the non-recognition of any territorial claim made by the communists.

said, noting that sometimes it rains even during summer. She also reminded senior citizens to get their flu shots before the onset of the flu season in June. Ubial meanwhile, noted that skin diseases are common in areas where water is scarce. “Prison inmates usually suffer from boils due to heat and overcrowding,” she said, adding that swimming in dirty bodies of water or poorly maintained public swimming pools can also cause skin diseases. “Do not forget to take a bath before plunging into the pool and avoid urinating in it. Children should be accompanied by adults in pools or beaches to avoid drowning, which is a real danger,” she advised. The health chief further pointed out that dog bites are
common during vacation, when children stay at home and play with their pets. She warned of rabies that could lead to death. “Pet dogs should be given vaccination against rabies. But if one sustains dog bites, the wound must be immediately cleaned with soap and water,” she said. To avoid sunburns, Ubial suggested that the public limit their outdoor activities from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. during summer months and instead get some sun early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Diarrhea results from the consumption of contaminated food and drinks, she said, noting that rising temperatures make it conducive for bacteria to grow on food. She also advised the proper washing of hands before and after eating, and after using the toilet. (PNA)
