Andanar keynotes 3rd MDN Journalism Awards

By MARK FRANCISCO

COMMUNICATIONS Secretary Martin Andanar exhorted Communication students in Northern Mindanao to continue their dreams and passions in becoming professional journalists and communicators someday.

In his keynote address during the 3rd Mindanao Journalism Excellence Awards in Cagayan de Oro City, Andanar said that journalists are the country’s “influential movers.”

“But since you’re still students, invest in reading.

Aim to be an excellent journalist. Engage in substantive discussion. Let the next reader of primetime news, the next famous writer come from your ranks,” he said.

Speaking from personal experience, Andanar said he had not catapulted into his position today had he not worked on his dream as a Xavier University Grade School (XUGS) elementary student in Cagayan de Oro City during his younger See andanar, page 11

All wiring should be checked. Staying at home for the entire summer vacation also mean longer usage of appliances. Big or small wires, always have it checked before plugging it to make sure it is still safe to use.

Davao Light’s safety tips to make your fun-filled summer safer It's summer time! Sun is out and it's the best time to be chilling out. Whether you're relaxing by the pool or enjoying the cool breeze outdoor, always keep in mind that electrical hazards could also exist.

Davao Light and Power Co., Inc. listed out some safety reminders to ensure that electrical hazards do not mess up your fun under the sun.

Electricity and water do not mix! When around pools, spas and other water activities, keep cords away from water for at least 10 feet and avoid using electrical devices. If possible, use battery operated electrical devices outside. Never handle electrical items when you are wet.

Never fly kites near power lines! With the bright sun and cool wind, kite flying sounds good during the summer. But aside from causing unscheduled power interruptions, kite flying near overhead power lines can cause electrocution hazards. You don't even have to touch live electrical wires to get electrocuted, just by being near these high voltage power lines your life could be put in danger. And if you're careless enough to get your kite caught in a power line, do not touch

the line of the kite's string.

Electricity can easily travel down from your kite lines to you regardless of the type of line you are using.

Climb trees away from power lines. Kids love to climb trees in the summer, but they should be guided that should only climb trees that are not close to power lines, most especially those trees that are not touching the line. The extra weight of the kids when they climb the tree could cause a branch to touch the line, which would be dangerous. In case the trees in your yard or neighborhood are too close to power lines, Davao Light will always be ready to help trim or cut those trees.

Checking is always a good idea. When you don't feel like going out, you could always spend your summer time by staying at home. Ensure that all electric outlets and appliances are in good condition. If in doubt, have an electrician check the house wiring and appliance to make sure it is safe to use.

Whatever your activity will be, always remember that every fun memories should be tagged along with safety. Don't let your summer become dull, dangerous and deadly and always be ready for some sunshine!

Money Matters in Marriage Think a Minute…Does money matter much in marriage? You bet it does!

Did you know that money problems cause some of the biggest problems between husbands and wives!

Sadly, in some marriages it doesn’t take long for wedding bells to turn into wedding bills and debts. At the beginning of some relationships opposites attract, but later opposites attack each other. The husband and wife have different values, so they disagree on how to spend their money and what each thinks is a waste of money.

For example, the husband may like to spend money on beer, fishing equipment, or a television

sponsible in your spending, and your marriage and family are suffering under the pressure and stress from your unpaid debts, then won’t you ask Jesus Christ to forgive you? Then ask Him to take control of your life and how you spend your money? Jesus can give you the self-discipline and willpower you need to finally take control of your money problems, so they will not control you and your family.

was important to him.

So when a husband and wife have very different values on what’s important and what they should spend their money on, what should they do? They both need to compromise and cut back on their spending, before their debts get bigger. You see, the daily pressure and stress from big debts or loans, can divide and eventually destroy a marriage! Maybe you’ve heard the phrase: “There’s no such thing as a free lunch!” Sooner or later we have to pay! Self-centered, uncontrolled spending will not only cost you money, but it can even cost you your marriage and family!

and stereo. But his wife thinks all that is a terrible waste of their money and income. She wants to buy new clothes and jewelry, or go out to eat at restaurants.

That’s what she enjoys.

But her husband cannot understand how anyone would want to waste money on things like that.

There’s a story about an old farmer who decided later in life that he wanted to get married. So he put this advertisement in the newspaper: “Lonely farmer looking for a wife. She must be in her 40’s and own a good tractor. Please send photo of tractor.” To say the least, that old geezer was not very smooth. He didn’t even try to hide what

Members from Metro Manila and nearby provinces will converge starting at 8 a.m. on April 08, at the Holy Spirit Preparatory Academy---a school that offers elementary and secondary courses in Sto. Domingo Street, Bgy. Holy Spirit, Quezon City, and which is owned by the family of Mr. and Mrs. Domingo Canero and Juanita Canero, recent converts to the AND KNK. -ooo“G O, PR E AC H , A N D SAVE SOUL S BASED ON THE TRUTH THAT J E SU S I S G OD A N D SAVIOR”: The theme for the celebrations will be “Humayo, Magpahayag, at Magligtas ng Kaluluwa batay sa Katotohanang si Jesus ang Diyos at Tagapagligtas at Siyang Diyos Ama, Anak, at Espiritu Santo” (in English, “Go, Preach, and Save Souls based on the Truth that Jesus is God and Savior, and is God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit”).

This dovetails with the basic doctrine that the AND KNK espouses: that Jesus is God and Savior, and is God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is the belief of the Church

that the Bible contains five sets of proof that establish beyond reasonable doubt that Jesus is God and Savior, and is God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The AND KNK believes that there are proofs from the Father, from the Son, from the Holy Spirit, from the disciples of Jesus, and even from those who did not accept or believe in Him, that Jesus is truly God and Savior, and is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Each and every member are trained to know, and how to present, these proofs, and how to meet contrary pronouncements.

-oooAND KNK, GOD-MANDATED CHURCH FOR END-TIME WORK: The AND KNK is truly a Godmandated Church, blessed

by God. Slowly but surely and steadily, it is winning souls in Metro Manila and many places right now, including Davao City and Iligan City, and preparing even the most ordinary and unlettered believers to become firebrand preachers and defenders of the faith that Jesus is God and Savior, and is God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

And this preaching is no longer just confined to specific places but is now being carried out national-

ly and internationally, with the use of social media, particularly Facebook. At this point, AND KNK has two Facebook pages---the Anak ng Diyos Kadugo Ni Kristo and Ang Tanging Daan---which can be easily searched in the Facebook search engine.

Through these Facebook pages, video presentations, in English and Filipino, are being aired on a 24 hour basis, where the doctrines and teachings of the AND KNK, based on the Bible, are being discussed and dissected. The AND KNK believes that its preaching, on the ground and on the Internet, is a part of the work mentioned by Jesus as a necessary ingredient of the end of time. Thank God in the Name of Jesus!

Daily Inspiration Prayer is a silent, powerful tool, often overlooked. We should pray through the good times and the bad and everything in between. Take just one minute, think of a friend, and take slow deep breaths as you pray for that person. Be comforted in knowing that God heard you.

Verse from James 5:13 “Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy?

You should sing praises.”

DTI cuts bureaucratic red tape on SRP setting MAKATI—Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez recently (5 April) convened the National Price Coordinating Council (NPCC) to closely evaluate the price and supply situation of basic necessities and prime commodities during the first quarter of this year.

During the meeting, DTI discussed its stand to deregulate the setting of Suggested Retail Prices (SRP) on certain commodities to reduce bureaucratic red tape in the system, while it continues to closely monitor the movement of prices of products and ensure fair trade in the market.

DTI clarified that there will still be SRPs on manufactured products but it can be set by the companies themselves for guidance of the supermarkets and consumers. These SRPs will still be closely monitored by

DTI. “We can let the companies set the SRPs because products with competitive market players and several brands, both locally produced and imported, have their ‘self-correcting mechanism’ on their prices,” said Sec. Lopez.

“In fact, prices of brands and commodities that do not pass the approval system of DTI before remained stable and some are even declining because of competition” he added.

Sec. Lopez believes that liberalizing price setting would help spur competition among industries and would further improve their product quality.

“DTI would prioritize the protection of the consumers by ensuring that industries have a competitive business environment that allows entry of brands and players in the market and give the

consumers the widest range of choice,” the trade chief said.

“We will continue to closely monitor the prices of basic goods, and will have the oversight function to enforce regulation of irregular price increases,” added Sec. Lopez, ensuring commitment to consumer protection.

The NPCC will work with DTI on analyzing the industry structure and streamlining the process of price regulation to create a more efficient and effective system for both manufacturers and consumers. DTI would also be working with the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) to continuously review the industries’ structure, and the play of competitive forces, that will ensure optimum competition and best options for quality products/services and affordable price points for consumers.

Believe that each person is born for a purpose The Gospel of Jesus Christ (April 08, 2017-Saturday) Luke 1:6779- To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he swore to our father Abraham, That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. And thou, child, shall be called the prophet of

the Highest: for thou shall go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us God predestined already each one of us to have a brighter future. Jeremiah 29:11-12”`For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, `plans for welfare and not for ca-

lamity to give you a future and a hope. `Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.For knowing this truth that individual child of the living has a great future ahead will inspire us to speak a positive words toward others. See others the way God sees to them. Think towards others the way God thinks about them. Believe that each person is born for a purpose to do and fulfill.

You are born for a certain

assignment to finish on this earth. Zechariah saw it towards Jesus Christ. He knew that Jesus was born to save the world. He was aware about the planned of God for mankind. The attitudes of Zachariah must be ours if possible in order that you can appreciate the existence of one person on this earth. You need to believe that no one is born accidentally but it God’s will because he has a divine plan for this person. You are not born accidentally

Biblical reflection but you are made because of the love of the living God. You are born for a reason.

You are born to achieve your dreams in life and to help others in reaching their dreams. You are born not to compete but to complete each other. You are born to do a big difference to the lives of others and for the glory of God: Printing paid by: Edith Ranoa - Jordan and Crespina Ranoa Bobong Balino– Cagayan De Oro: # 09187148435: Listen to me via Thunder

Bro. Edcel L. Closas Radio 97.9 FM- Cagayan De Oro City- 1:00 PMSunday: God loves you!

CEB launches four new routes from Cebu and Clark New routes offered at introductory price of Php599 April 6, 2017 – The Philippines’ leading airline, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), strengthens its domestic route network with four new routes to and from its Clark and Cebu hubs. The routes are geared towards making inter-island travel more accessible to residents outside Metro Manila.

Starting May 15, 2017, CEB’s wholly owned subsidiary, Cebgo, will be flying daily between Clark and Caticlan (Boracay); three times weekly (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) between Clark and Busuanga; and three times weekly (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) between Cebu and Busuanga. Cebgo will also begin flying between Cebu

and Cotabato four times weekly (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday) on May 16, 2017.

“We believe that by opening these new routes, we are enabling more residents from Central and even North Luzon to travel to Palawan and Boracay—two of the world’s best islands, without having to make the trip to Metro Manila to catch their flights. Even guests from the Visayas who would like to explore Northern Palawan have to fly via Manila to get there. With a direct Cebu-Busuanga route, the islands of Coron and Culion are easier to get to. Aside from boosting domestic tourism, our new routes will also enhance

Assessment system for PDIC member-banks now ISO certified TÜV Rheinland Philippines, Inc. has recognized the quality management system (QMS) of Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) for its assessment of memberbanks as ISO 9001:2008 certified. This is PDIC’s second process within its expanded QMS to be certified under the ISO 9001:2008 standard following the recertification of its claims settlement operations (CSO) by the same certifying body in 2016.

TÜV Rheinland Philippines, Inc. issued the ISO 9001:2008 certification after its audit found that PDIC conformed with standards with zero nonconforming practices.

PDIC provides a maxi-

mum deposit insurance coverage of PHP500,000.00 per depositor per bank and is mandated to prudently manage and build up the level of the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), the main fund source for payment of deposit insurance claims in case of bank closures. To continuously build up the DIF to the target adequacy level, member-banks are currently assessed the annual flat rate of 1/5 of one percent of their total deposit liabilities and the assessment collected

by PDIC semi-annually (January and July) from member-banks form part of the DIF. As of end-December 2016, PDIC assessment covered 602 member-banks with aggregate 53 million

deposit accounts, representing total deposits of PHP10.5 trillion. Total insured deposits accounted for PHP2.3 trillion or 21.5% of total deposits in the banking system.

“PDIC has established and maintains an effective system to ensure compliance with its policy and objectives,” TÜV Rheinland said, confirming that the Corporation’s QMS complied with all audit standards. Based on quality management principles, the ISO 9001 standard includes “customer focus” ensuring that customer requirements are determined and are met with the aim of enhancing customer satisfaction.

According to the state deposit insurer, the ISO certification is a testament

to PDIC’s commitment to continuously improve its systems and practices in carrying out its mandate for the benefit of the depositing public consistent with international best practices.

TÜV Rheinland Group, founded in 1872, is a global provider of technical, safety, and certification services with headquarters in Germany and operates in 520 offices in 69 countries.

days.

During that time, Andanar said he used to listen to 99.1 DXVM (now known as 99.1 iFM) and idolized the manager-slash-head DJ Mikael Grey.

Mikael Grey’s distinctive accent (not Americanized nor British but simply the correct English pronunciations) was a trademark in the FM airwaves of Cagayan de Oro during the late 1980s and early 1990s and were an inspiration to many students across all levels – from elementary graders to high schoolers and college students.

Andanar was among those who idolized him. His listernship to Mikael Grey (Mike Montalban in real life) drove him to excel in elocution in grade school.

The elocution contest that he won in sixth grade was the starting point in his Communications life, first becoming as an FM radio jock just like his idol Mikael Grey, crossing over to AM and eventually becoming a TV5 presenter before being hired as Communications Secretary by President Duterte.

Dante Sudaria, Mindanao Daily president and CEO, and Project Director Allan Mediante who invited Andanar, thanked the Communications Secretary for gracing the event.

Undersecretary Benito L. Ranque who was also guest speaker, also inspired the participants on his latest update of the nation’s power situation. Electricity was among the theme of this year’s journalism awards contests.

The participants composed of students, government writers and private company sponsors were thrilled with the presence of the two national executives who were just glad to have selfie pictures with them.

the respective local government units (LGUs) complied with the comprehensive plan that includes a control mechanism.

She said the trails in Makilala in North Cotabato and Digos City in Davao del Sur will not be opened because the LGUs failed to submit a plan; the trail in Barangay Tamayong, Calinan District, Davao City has

remained closed due to an executive order prohibiting trekking activities for its potential groundwater source for the city.

The Bansalan trail will be closed due to the insurgency problem, according to Joey Recimilla, Kidapawan City Tourism Officer and chair of the MANP-PAMB ecotourism committee.

Tawantawan said the LGUs can submit their comprehensive plans but will be subject for review by the technical working group (TWG) of the MANPPAMB. A MANP-PAMB resolution passed on March 23, 2017 approved “the reopening of the Mt. Apo Natural Park trails to trekking/climbing activity” but “subject to the strict implementation of the Unified Trekking Policy of 2015, Camp Management and Masterplan of 2016.”

Joint monitoring stations of DENR and LGUs will be placed in all trails, including entry and exit points, and designated basecamps where the trekkers can camp out, she said.

Tawantawan said they are contemplating whether to make these monitoring stations functioning 24/7 to ensure that there would be no erring climbers who would sneak into the trails without the permission from the LGUs. The environment official said among the control mechanisms include strictly no camping on the peak area, limit the number of trekkers to 50 a day, and closure of all entry points at 9 a.m. even if the number of trekkers is below maximum.

“This is solely a PAMB [decision],” Tawantawan said. “It’s the policy-making body, the administering body, they are the stakeholders who live there,” she said, adding that the PAMB will have to take the consequences of whatever decision it made.

Tawantawan said all trails of Mt. Apo will be closed to climbers during El Niño so that last year’s massive fire incident that destroyed 115 hectares – of which, 20 hectares were forested with century-old trees – and endangered the adjacent Mt. Talomo will not recur.

She acknowledged that the “enforcement” aspect of the MANP-PAMB is weak as compared with the PAMBs of other provinces, which are receiving funding sup-

Monday, April 3, 2017 port from the LGUs. “We are hoping that there will be changes in the implementation as well as on the enforcement of the recommendations. Hopefully, there will be changes.

There will be a lot of things that we shall be doing. We will give our best on what should be done for Mt. Apo via the PAMB,” she said.

According to the MANPPAMB resolution, Manobo tribal leader Datu Rogelio Manapol was the one who raised a motion to reopen Mt. Apo and duly seconded

by Datu Samuel Asicam.

She said the IPs requested that the trails be opened for “socio-economic” reasons.

Tawantawan said they are planning to include Mt. Apo in the five-year enhanced greening program that will be endorsed by the Regional Development Council (RDC) 11.

‘Off-limits’ She said all LGUs agreed that trekkers will not be allowed entry to the damaged areas to ensure that the healing process will not be disturbed by trekking activities.

Tawantawan said special monitoring stations will be established in strictly prohibited portions of Mt. Apo. In the Davao Region side, one will be placed near the crater adjacent to the burnt area, which is connected to Sta. Cruz and Digos trails, while in the Soccsksargen side will be at Lake Venado that connects to the Kidapawan and Makilala trails.

Firemen and volunteers took almost three weeks before the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) 11 placed the fire under control on April 15, 2016, after an aerial thermal assessment conducted by the Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards) of the Department of Science and Technology showed no signs of active fire and validated by ground evaluations.

The MANP-PAMB’s decision raised the concern of environmental groups.

Mylai Santos, executive director of the Ecoteneo of the Ateneo de Davao University (ADDU), suggested that all stakeholders must

agree on common standards and capacitate the tripartite monitoring team in collecting data on the progress of the rehabilitation works at Mt. Apo. “I agree. Instead of discussing number on how many people, let’s talk about standards,” she said.

Santos lamented the brief implementation of the “indefinite closure” that was approved by MANP-PAMB on March 31, 2016 to allow Mt. Apo time to recover.

“We are not saying to close forever. The main reason why PAMB decided to close the areas is that, are those concerns addressed already? We don’t want a repeat of such incident,” she said.

Ready Recimilla added that the Kidapawan trail is ready to accept trekkers on April 12.

“We are ready. We conducted the training for the porters. We have conducted the training of the guides – ongoing right now for three days – we have met and had a consultation and dialogue with the tribal people, the barangay people, and all other stakeholders, including the habal-habal drivers, vendors and everything, so we are set,” he said.

He said they are installing signage, checking the trails, and placing the comfort rooms in designated areas.

He said the LGU in Kidapawan trains their porters and guides on search and rescue, and jungle survival.

Recimilla said that some people apparently look at things wrongly. “The trek to Mt. Apo is an ecotourism activity,” he said. “You don’t damage anything,” he claimed.

He urged environmental groups to compare if trekking causes more environmental damage than the banana plantations and vegetable farming activities in Barangay Kapatagan in Digos City. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

Engaging children to life-long learning activities

By Lelia B. Cabello Teacher - III Jasaan Central School Jasaan District

In schools, there are student organizations that are created. The purpose of this is for the students to get involved in school activities, aside from performing classroom tasks.

Example of this is the student council. To schools, terms used are Supreme Student Council, Central Student Government, Central Student Organization and the like. They serve as leaders in the entire student populace of the school. They are the highest governing body of the entire studentry.

Being a student leader is beneficial to students because the training and experience of it develops their attitude and improve their knowledge.

During the term as student leaders, students are given abundant opportunities to groom themselves and learn about the world during their academic life. The student council, for one, is one such opportunity given to students to learn the skills Value Card holders can take advantage of special offers such as freebies and discounts from Petron locators and partner-establishments.

of leadership during high school and college.

Lessons in the classroom are much more effective if slated with topic-focused activities. In school, it is apparent that the value of leadership is inculcated through different extra and co-curricular organizations, and even discussed in classrooms. However, classroom discussion does not give focus on this topic because of limited time and resources.

Thus, it is good that education department annually organized leadership training to hone the management skills of the students which are big help in managing an academic institution, in its fulfillment of its vision, mission and goals.

Leadership skills help students in several ways and are essential for them to deal with their peers during their academic years and in their practical life as well.

Learning is not just about the lessons gained in the classrooms, but also in experiences during academic years. One is being a student leader.

Jun Camacho launches solo exhibit anew Photos by MARK FRANCISCO

AFTER his successful solo exhibition in 2015, Jun Camacho once again launched another exhibit at Limketkai Mall just last month.

This second solo endeavor is a collection of 21 paintings comprised of oil and acrylic on canvas, portraying a bounty of Blooms as they capture the grace and luminosity of his floral subjects with sensual precision in ways that not all photographs can.

Considered as one of the few prolific artists in Cagayan de Oro, Camacho focuses on the sensual nature of art aiming to depict the complications of life through a combination of color, texture, water and symbolism. His works have been a favourite collections of so many around him.

After retiring from government, Jun found his artistic calling and his art practice pushed him to produced artworks to inspire the viewers and aspiring artists in the city.

Over the years, Camacho’s mastery of the medium has in the past created an entire collection of floral paintings – technically adept and aesthetically delicate renderings that

can instill a sense of wonder at the creations of nature. His flowers derive their force from their fusion of intimacy and monumentality: they imply that the viewer has suddenly become quiet – they are majestic worlds unto themselves.

Jun believes that there are three Ps in attaining prominence in the field of visual arts: practice, patience and perseverance. CHRIS GOMEZ

Seda Set to Operate 3,281 Rooms by 2019; Aims to be Leading Phl Hotel Brand It will open bigger city hotels and a new resort format with low environmental impact March 2017, Manila…..

Ayala Land Hotels and Resorts Corp.’s (AHRC) wholly-owned Seda hotels announced that it would be adding to its inventory more than 2,400 rooms in nine destinations from 2017 up to 2019. Melissa Carlos, group director of sales and marketing says, “Our goal is to be the leading Filipino hotel brand catering to global travelers in the Philippines.”

Since its founding in 2012, Seda has built up its room inventory to 817 rooms spread over five properties as follows: Seda BGC in Taguig, Seda Centrio in Cagayan de

Oro City, Seda Abreeza in Davao City, Seda Nuvali in Laguna, and Seda Atria in Iloilo City.

All five hotels met their targets in 2016, according to Carlos. “Across all our properties, our guest satisfaction scores ranged from 83 to 86 per cent, which is way above the industry average hovering in the 70s. All our hotels also took the number 1 slot in their category in each of their cities.”

First to open this April is its biggest city hotel to-date with 438 rooms -- Seda Vertis North in Quezon City.

“Seda has been successful in highly underserved

areas,” according to Carlos. She recalls that AHRC planners had conservatively estimated demand for this four-star hotel brand “offering fivestar service” and designed properties with an average of 150 rooms. But given its success, Seda’s next generation of city hotels in Makati, Taguig, Cebu, the Bay Area in Manila will be bigger and range anywhere between 200 and 350 rooms. Seda Capitol Central in Bacolod, opening in the 3rd quarter of this year with 154 rooms, however, has been calibrated to fill projected demand in that city for this type of hotel offering.
