Briefly Russian market THE Department of Agriculture (DA) said it will seek to break into the Russian market to benefit small-scale banana growers, starting with a trade fair in the eastern port city of Vladivostok. “The first marketing breach will be in Vladivostok. We will bring banana exporters there, and then bring the product,” Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel F. Piñol told reporters last week. He added that the Mindanao Banana Federation of Exporters Association (MBFEA), the organization representing small growers from the island, is willing to participate in the trade fair, which Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to visit.

Steag privatization plan takes a new twist: Psalm www.businessweekmindanao.com

By MYRNA VELASCO, Contributor
HE privatization of Steag State Power, Inc. coalfired power plant in Misamis Oriental is taking a new course, the state-run Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM) said. “The privatization track for Mindanao coal plant will change,” PSALM Officer-in-Charge Lourdes S. Alzona said, noting that they are more inclined at pursuing buyout of the facility’s contracted capacity then divest the plant on “straight asset sale” subsequently. Alzona said the plan to engage indep endent p ower pro ducer administrator (IPPA) may already be scrapped, and that is the option that they have initially presented to
their principals at the Departments of Energy and Finance. “We are currently undertaking a study on Mindanao coal plant’s privatization…we no longer want to do it as IPPA deal,” Alzona stressed. The proposed direction, she said, “is to study the buy-out option, and then we will sell the asset as a full privatization exercise.” She qualified that they would want to re-assess if the ‘buyoutSteag/PAGE 11

Dairy processing plant gets DOST assistance By JORIE C. VALCORZA, Contributor
MAMBAJAO, Camiguin -Close to P2M technology assistance was turned over by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) to the province of Camiguin as
support to the establishment of a dairy processing plant. This is under DOST’s Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program dubbed SET-UP.
New sets of pasteurizer, homogenizer, finish product holding tank, boiler hot water set, fill seal machine, stainless tables, and motor control were recently turned over in hope to improve the quality of their dairy products and
complement the need of the government run dairy farm. The provincial government pushed the establishment of the facility to be able to showcase dairy production technologies to interested farmer who will be
later recipients of the dairy farm’s multiplier program. It likewise ensures that the facility is compliant to the good manufacturing practices (GMP) and produce dairy products that are safe for human consumption.
This project, meanwhile, is also banked to support the province nutrition program, reducing the prevalence of malnutrition among children through the provision of a daily glass of milk. (JCV/ PIA-10)

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…`Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them’…” (Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in Matthew 18:18-19, the Holy Bible). -ooo CHARTER CHANGES M U S T TA K E E F F E C T AFTER 2022: If the real i nt e nt i on of Pre s i d e nt Duterte in seeking amendments to the 1987 Constitution is to truly improve the lives of our people through a change of the countr y’s system of government from the present centralized form, with all authority emanating from the central government in Manila, to a federal system where provinces or regions are treated as separate states, amendments should not be made effective during his six-year term. Instead, any changes in the Constitution must be voted upon and should take effect only after Duterte’s term shall have ended in 2022. This is to assure s upp or t e r s an d c r it i c s alike that what he has in his heart in wanting the Constitution amended is nothing but the welfare of the country and our people, even if, in the process of the
Oro Chamber
designation. In case of death, absence, or unsuitability of the parents, substitute parental authority shall be exercised by the surviving grandparent. In case several grandparents survive, the one d e s i g nate d by t he court, taking into account all angles, shall exercise the authority. We shall tackle more of this next issue, God willing. -ooo P R AY I N G I N T H E NAME OF JESUS: The manner by which members of the Anak ng Diyos Kadugo Ni Kristo (or AND KNK, the Children of God Blood Kin of the Christ) Church pray, in which they mention, at the beginning and ending of those prayers, the Name of Jesus as the God and the Savior that they pray to, or call on, or in whose Name the prayer or petition is made, is something that was likewise prophesied or even ordered by the Bible. In Isaiah 41:25, God is quoted there as saying: “…`But I have stirred up a leader who will approach from the north. From the east, one who prays and calls on my name. I will give him victory over kings and princes. He will trample them as a potter treads on clay’…” This particular verse is significant because at the time the prediction here was made, God’s Name as Jesus

Atty. Batas Mauricio was not in use yet. During the time that Jesus, our God and Savior, was on earth, He was specific in His command, that if we wish to ask anything from God, it must be asked in His, Jesus’, Name. See for example Matthew 18:18-19 or John 15:16-17 of the Holy Bible, where Jesus said that when we ask anything, we should ask it in His Name, and it shall be given to us. There are more to this, in our next issue, God willing! -ooo PLEASE LISTEN: “Ang Tanging Daan” (The Sole Way): a Bible study and prayer session online could now be heard, 24 HOURS a day, in the Philippines and the world at www.facebook.com/ angtangingdaan or www. facebook.com/ANDKNK (and look for “Ang Tanging Daan” broadcasts).

Caring for our attitude
Balancing Act T h i n k a m i nu t e … Yo u remember the first time you tried to ride a bike? It can be quite tricky. The bike shakes and wobbles everywhere until you finally learn how to balance your weight. Balance is important in everything. So eating only fattening snack food every day is not a balanced diet. Being active in sports and exercise is good for us, but we can even overdo that too, if we don’t balance it with work, rest, and other activities. In raising our children, we parents must be fair in the things we expect from our kids. Our children need balance in their life. So if you and I expect our kids every day just to study and work, then we’re not giving them a healthy, happy childhood. Our kids also need to play and just be kids. We know that the stress and pressures of school work and adult life will hit them soon enough. If you work too much, you may be admired and respected by some people for being strong, successful and hardworking. But are you successful in your marriage and family? Is your wife or husband and children happy while with you’re gone from them working so many hours everyday? And even when you are home, are you usually
amendments, term limits of elected officials are also revised. This way, even if these term limits are extended, or shortened, or otherwise tinkered with when the Constitution is changed, or amended, or revised, no one will ever think that those amendments were selfserving, or were intended to merely favor politicians and other individuals or groups that are perceived to have a strong influence over the Duterte government. -ooo ISSUES ON PARENTAL AU T H O R I T Y I F O N E PARENT IS ABSENT: I now wish to resume our dis c ussions here ab out p a r e nt a l au t h o r i t y, a s provided for by the Family Code of the Philippines. Under Art. 212 of the Code, in case of absence or death of the father or the mother, the parent who is present shall continue exercising parental authority. The remarriage of the surviving parent shall not affect the parental authority of over the children, unless the court appoints another person to be the guardian of the person or property of the children. On the other hand, in case of separation of the parents, parental authority shall be exercised by the parent designated by the court, which shall consider all angles in making this
THINK
A Minute
Jhan Tiafau Hurst tired, cranky and hard to live with? Our Creator made our bodies, minds and feelings so that we live and work best only when our life is balanced. Consequently, any time we do too much of one thing and too little of another, we get out of balance and in trouble. Our marriage ends in divorce. Our children are not close to us. Our bodies get sick, tired and worn out. Today, if you realize that your life is out of balance, you can ask Jesus Christ to forgive you for living your own wrong way, and God the Son will show you all the things you need to do differently to change. It’s only with Jesus’ wisdom and help in your life every day, you can finally start enjoying a balanced, happy life. Just Think a Minute…
IT’S unfortunate that the word “attitude” has fallen into disrepute. Nowadays when you hear that someone has an attitude, it means he has a bad temper, or has an evil way of looking at things, etc. It has become a catch-all for everything that can be negative in a person. I am sure it’s one of those sweeping, thoughtless generalizations that sometimes happen when we seem dominated by a certain kind of event. It’s a case of branding and stereotyping, similar to the Colgate of old to refer to toothpaste in general, etc. But attitude is something we cannot avoid. It’s part of our system, of our being persons who think and choose, who certainly have a sense of how things are and ought to be. It can refer to our dispositions toward everything in life. It’s the more permanent fruit of how we correspond to our consciences. In fact, we need to see to it that our attitudes are taken care of. They should be properly cultivated, equipped and oriented. They should not be just left alone to develop by themselves, driven mainly by shallow considerationsemotions and passions, fads and fashions, all sorts of social conditionings, etc. In these times with so many challenges, difficulties and other tricky elements,
we have to see to it that our attitudes are well established. They are precisely those very intimate, internal principles, the basic expression and language of our heart that need to be guided and protected. It’s our attitude that determines how we behave before different situations, issues, challenges, etc. It tells us when to be calm or agitated, patient or impatient, gentle or assertive, etc. For Christian believers, the standard, of course, is Jesus Christ, who said he is “the way, the truth and the life” for us. He is in fact who and what we ought to be, the very pattern of our humanity, our source and end, our redeemer. Let’s hope that we can be more aware of this need, and skilled to handle our obligation toward it. We cannot deny the patent fact that many suffer from serious attitudinal problems, all crying for help. Objectively, that is, and not quite subjectively, since many may not realize they have such problems. There’s a lot of apathy and indifference towards others. If not that, then there’s a lot of rash judgments and invasive critical thoughts towards them. Many just coast along in life, drifting without a clear sense of purpose. All of these indicate neglect and malformation in the care of our attitudes.
Wit h t he r is e of technological progress, for example, we can see that while there is marked improvement in the quality of life for some, there’s also the downside that many misuse or abuse this development The phenomenon of the social media, like the Facebook and the Twitter, is a case in point. While these electronic facilities expedite our communications, the problem now is what to communicate. Many people do not realize that the rise of technology is also calling for a rise in our sense of purpose. Obviously, if we just keep ourselves at the level of greeting and communicating trivia, it will not be long before we deteriorate into gossiping and quarrelling over petty things. Or we lapse into being just a passive obser ver, mainly wasting time. And what time we can waste just reading the postings there! Or we simply stop using them, which is quite a waste of resources given the many golden opportunities these technological advances can give us. We need to have a clearer and higher sense of purpose to match the quantum leap of advantages these electronic devices provide us. Otherwise, we end up spoiled by them, confused and swallowed by their intoxicating properties, and later, enslaved by them. I
HINTS
and
Traces
Fr. Roy Cimagala don’t think this is just theory. It’s a very likely possibility. We need to develop programs to address this urgent and widespread need. Technology has not only accelerated our pace of life. It also has increased our challenges, this time, more subtle and yet no less important and crucial. We have to help one another in discerning things and equipping ourselves with the proper attitudes. This task can actually be pioneered by anyone. But most likely the best setting would be the families and the schools that are continually monitoring the developments around. Parents and teachers should get together to plot out relevant strategies, always getting guidance from the Church and other moral authorities and experts. But the main focus should be the instilling of the proper attitudes in everyone.

PLDT, Smart willing to provide free access to hotlines ‘911’ and ‘8888’ TELECOMMUNICATIONS provider PLDT and its mobile subsidiary Smart are willing to provide free access to hotlines “911” and “8888” if the government will require them to do so. Hotline 911 will be the country’s national emergency hotline number. Citizen’s hotline 8888, on the other hand, will be the public’s hotline to air complaints against government officials or services. Both will be operational starting Aug. 1. “If the government will instruct us to make it free, no problem,” Ramon Isberto,
head of PLDT/Smart Public Affairs, told the Philippines News Agency in an interview. Isberto said that for the meantime, calls will be charged based on regular rates, and depending on airtime usage if one will use his/her mobile phone. He told PNA that PLDT w i l l att e n d a m e e t i ng Thursday afternoon with government agencies such as the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) to tackle issues like how prank calls can be avoided. He said that charging rates
for accessing the hotlines might be brought up in that meeting. Isberto explained that receiving prank calls is the main problem in having a hotline numb er, and providing free access to a hotline actually contributes to the increasing prank calls. “People think it’s about the money,” he lamented. He shared that when the country had the hotline 117 (same function as 911), the access was provided for free in both landlines and mobile phones. As such, 95 to 97 percent
of calls to the hotline 117 were prank calls, according to Isberto. “So how do you deal with such problem?” he asked. He emphasized that this issue must be addressed. “What if someone in need dials 911 and yet he/she can’t access the hotline because there are many prank callers in the line or trying to access it at the same time?” he said. Meanwhile, Isberto cited that PLDT is expecting the volumes of calls to increase when the hotlines become operational, as many may test accessing these numbers.
Nestlé to invests P2-B SWU buoys Phinma for malt factory in PHL earnings NESTLÉ Philippines Chairman and CEO Jacques Reber has announced on Tuesday that the company i s i nv e s t i n g P 2 bi l l i on for a malt factor y in the Philippines. Reber said Nestlé has started the construction of 5,400-square meter plant in Lipa, Batangas in December 2015 and is expected to be completed in October 2017. This will be the company’s sixth plant in the Philippines. Nestlé targets to start the operation of its malt plant by November next year. Reber added that its new factor y will have annual pro du c t i on c ap a c it y of 35,000 tons. He mentioned that the new plant will produce Protomalt, a proprietar y malt extract from cassava and barley, which is the key ingredient for its Milo products -- Nestlé’s chocolate drink. The Protomalt plant
w i l l c ompl e me nt to it s Milo production facility also located in Lipa. He said it is viable for the company to put up malt factory in the Philippines with the market size here. “ T he Ph i l ippi ne has been selected to produce Protomalt here because it’s a key market for Milo, for Nestlé,” said Reber. The Philippines is Nest lé’s s e cond big gest m a r k e t f o r M i l o, o n l y next to Singapore and is followed by Nigeria. Milo products also have significant share to Nestlé Philippines’ sales. C u r r e n t l y, N e s t l é Philippines is s ourcing its Protomal requirement f r o m S i n g ap o r e - - t h e G r o u p’s l a r g e s t m a l t factory in the world which is three times bigger than its project here. Nestlé also has malt pl ant in Niger i a w hich has the same size with the Philippine malt facility. Reber added the malt plant will initially cater
to the Philippine market. Mo r e o v e r, N e s t l é Philippines is looking to partner with local cassava farmers as cassava is one of the raw materials for malt production. Since cassava output here is limited, the c o mp a ny w i l l i n i t i a l l y import the product from Thailand. In the past five years, the Swiss firm has invested close to PHP14 billion in the Philippines. It has instant nutrition and liquid beverages factor y in Cabuyao, L aguna; Nescafe and B ear Brand factor y in Cagayan de Oro, breakfast cereals and Milo plant in Lipa, Batangas; ice cream and fresh dair y facility in Pulilan, Bulacan; and C o f f e e - M at e a n d B e a r Brand facility in Tanauan, Batangas. The company’s s ales in 2015 reached PHP121 billion, an increase of 4 percent from 2014’s sales of P116 billion. (PNA)
PHINMA Corp. netted P201 million from the six months to June, a 19% increase from the P169 million recorded a year earlier, partly reflecting t he i nte g r at i on of t h e Southwestern University (SWU) into the company. In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Monday, the company said its consolidated revenues was 16% higher at P3.1 billion from the P2.7 billion recorded for the comparable 2015 period. SWU contributed P247 million to the first-half results of Phinma. The university’s income was not yet consolidated into the listed company’s financial statement during the same period in 2015. Aside from the consolidation of revenues from SWU, improved sales of steel products by Union Galvasteel Corp. and tuition hikes in Araullo University, Cagayan de Oro College and University of Iloilo have buoyed Phinma. earnings/PAGE 9

MSU-IIT Research Team seek ways to level up delivery of health services By Mike Baños
C A G AYA N D E O R O CITY - The research team of the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) is actively researching ways to improve the delivery of health services in Lanao del Norte and Oroquieta City, Misamis Occidental. During recognition rites for outstanding research and development projects held during the recent National Science and Technology We e k 2 0 1 6 at a l o c a l restaurant in Cagayan de Oro, the Northern Mindanao C onsortium for Health Research and Development (NorMinCoHRD) cited the following projects as some of its official entries to the 10th Philippine National Health Research System Week: “Utilization of Health Information for Polic y Formulation, Priority Setting and Resource Allocation in Iligan City Health District and in Oroquieta Inter-local Health Zone to Meet National Health Goals” of Dr. Alita T.

Velasco, MSU-IIT (Poster Contest, Professional Category) Research to address local health issues The research team’s focus on improving the delivery of health services to the end user is obvious from the scope of the studies which not only sought the end users personal evaluation of the health services they received, but to the local
health boards’ utilization of the research findings to make data-driven decisions, as well as the systems needed to properly gather the collated data to arrive at proactive and responsive health legislations. “We are interested in the use of information for decision making and resource allocation. We are pushing for data-driven decisions,” said Dr. Roxas in an interview on the sidelines of the National Science and Technology Week 2016 in Region 10 celebration held July 23-26 at a local restaurant. While the team’s study which focuses on the Iligan Health District and the Oroquieta Inter-Local Health Zone (ILHZ) generated lots of data, they found it was not optimized by the intended end users. An ILHZ is a form of interLGU cooperation to better protect the collective health of their respective communities, assure constituents access services for the health care needs of individuals, and manage limited resources more efficiently and equitably. It usually includes primary

health providers, core referral hospital and end-referral hospital, jointly serving a common population within a local geographic area under the jurisdiction of more than one local government. A functional ILHZ is envisioned as one which provides health benefits to individual residents and the zone population as a whole. The ILHZ functionality could be gauged by zone-wide health sector performance results in terms of improved health status and coverage of public health intervention of the zone population; access by zone residents to quality care; and efficiency in the delivery of inter-local health services. “There’s a lack of local ordinances which actually address local health concerns. Our health officials are not really able to optimize use of the data to come up with local ordinances which prioritize urgent health issues in health bu d ge t i ng to opt i m i z e available resources,” Roxas
noted. The team said national mandates are merely being ‘localized’, thus local legislators just make local versions of national health laws, merely cascading what’s mandated by the national office. For instance, Roxas cited the Dept. of Health’s (DOH) Electronic Field Health Services Information System which is supposed capture health data in computers and make these accessible nationwide. Computer Culture “ B u t i t ’s n o t f u l l y happening yet in the city and provincial levels. Data capture, storage and reporting at the barangay level are being done manually since they don’t have computers. Or, if they have computers, t he y don’t have an IT person. Also, many elderly midwives and nurses are not computer-literate and show some resistance to the use of computers.” Although barangay health
units are striving to make the system work, most trainings are focused on the municipal and city level, with hardly any at the barangay level. “Given all these, even if there is supposed to be eHealth, the gathering, collating and transmission of data is still done manually by paper forms. eHealth has a higher utilization in the city, provincial and municipal levels but still the utilization of the system is low.” “Also, some key local decision makers do not have good access to data. So when it comes to prioritization of funding and budgeting for certain health concerns, these may not reflect local health data.” Of the two areas covered by the study, the team’s findings indicate the Oroquieta ILHZ has a higher level of accomplishment than the Iligan Health District in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This could be attributable to the Oroquieta health/PAGE 9

Landbank profit grows 3% in first half LAND BANK of the Philippines (Landbank) reported a P7.4 billion net profit for the first half of the year, driven by steady growth in its loan portfolio, which exceeded the state lender’s target for the period. In an e-mailed statement yesterday, the bank said it booked a 3% rise in profit during the six months to June , up from P7.2 billion a year earlier, and beating the P6.7 billion target by 10%. Re venue f rom loans jumped 16% as the bank’s gross loan portfolio grew to P490.6 billion from P414 billion in June 2015. Total deposits with the bank also grew to P1.1 trillion, up 18% from the end of June 2015. The state-owned lender said its earnings translated to a 16.5% return on equity, a measure of profits as a share of stockholders’ investment, while net interest margin was 3.38%. Both indicators are
above industry averages. The bank’s capital stood at P89.5 billion, up 20% yearon-year, while total assets rose 18% to P1.3 trillion. Data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas show Landbank to be the fourthbiggest among universal and commercial banks as of end2015 in terms of assets. Landbank is the biggest credit provider to small farmers, fishers, local government units as well as micro, small and medium enterprises among government financial institutions. It is t he on ly b an k present in all of the country’s provinces, with a nationwide network of 362 branches and 1,568 as of end-June.

BPI registers 35.6% hike in H1 ‘16 net income AYALA-led Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) on Friday reported a 35.6 percent increase in net income in the first half of 2016, boosted by gains from core businesses. In a disclosure with the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), the country’s fourth largest domestic banks in terms of assets said total loans for the six-month period reached P904.38 billion, up 18.6 percent due to the 20.4 percent rise in corporate loans. Total deposits during the period went up 10.8 percent to P1.33 trillion. During the same time, revenues amounted to P35.2 billion, up 20.9 percent, with net interest income rising by
9.6 percent to P20.7 billion. Non-interest income rose to P14.5 billion, up by 41.7 percent due to higher gains from securities trading, bank fees and commissions, bancassurance, and capital markets. Total assets amounted to P1.58 trillion at the end of the first half this year, up 11 percent or by P159.07 billion compared to the same period last year. Total capital inched up by 7.4 percent to P 160.79 billion, enabling the bank to post a 13.9 percent capital adequacy ratio (CAR), a gauge of a bank’s financial health, higher than the 10 percent regulatory requirement.

Personalized platinum rings express every couple’s unique love story “E a ch we d d i ng r i ng is a w o r k o f l o v e ,” s a y s Odysseus Suarez Wedding Rings owner and manager Odysseus Suarez. This love, he shares, can be seen in the making of the expert metal craftsman and jeweler’s latest line of personalized platinum rings. This begins with a bar or rod of platinum getting rolled, pressed, and laminated through a rolling mill machine until it is trimmed into the right dimensions. During this process, the platinum metal becomes denser, adding weight and durability, as it is compressed. The now elongated rod of platinum is subsequently molded into a ring based on the ring size requested, after which the rod’s two ends are laser welded together to close the ring. This is then filed and shaped according to the preferred design. The platinum ring is then polished and adorned with gems. Each wedding ring is a love story Not only are wedding rings the embodiment of the labor expended by its maker in crafting its delicate and fine detailed beauty. They also speak of the very
experiences that brought two lovers together. “Every wedding ring is a love story,” says Odysseus Suarez. With his new line of platinum rings, he hopes the couples’ own love story can now be engraved in the very design of their own wedding rings. The etching of initials, names, dates, and other p e r s o n a l t o u c h e s t h at couples wish to see on their rings is now possible with Odysseus Suarez Wedding Rings. This is in keeping with the top marketing trend in 2016 of enhancing the “buying experience” through personalization that is tailored for the needs of every buyer. “Since every couple’s love story is unique, there is no reason why the wedding ring cannot be an expression of this uniqueness,” he said. Rarest of the precious metals In spite its understated reputation when compared to the popularity of gold and silver, platinum is the rarest of the precious metals on earth. Mine production for platinum only runs 150 Mg annually as compared to 2,550 Mg for gold, making
platinum even more valuable than gold. “Gold and silver have to be mixed with other metals to make a piece of jewelry,” he explains. “But platinum is strong enough to stand alone and endure through time, hence its greater value.” Naturally white, platinum does not change color unlike white gold which fade into yellow as it ages. Platinum wedding rings The metal used to make the rings, Pt900, is 90 percent platinum and 10 percent palladium. This is purer than 18 carat gold which is only 75 percent as well as 14 carat gold which is only 58.33 percent gold. This composition makes platinum rings more durable and long lasting, and making it we ar b etter t hroug h the years. They are also hypoallergenic for those whose skin are sensitive to either gold or silver. It also means that the platinum ring does not blacken from oxidization when exposed to high heat. The platinum turns red then glows bright orange as it reacts to the flame from the jeweler’s torch. But as the heat cools down, the beautiful ring emerges
untarnished. Attaining the “patina” finish However, platinum is still the softer metal when compared to 14k gold even if it is stronger and more durable, hence ma k ing it m ore s u s c e pt i b l e t o scratching. But unlike gold which gets scraped away when scratched, platinum bits only moves across the surface a “patina” finish which has the feel of an antique. Time and wear gives platinum rings the much coveted “patina” finish. “ The patina’s beauty becomes more evident with time, just like a marriage which grows deeper through the years. Our personalized platinum ring’s luxuriously simple design makes it a precious classic that radiates every couple’s unique love story,” he said. A symbol of eternity “We have been making platinum rings for several years but some customers are put off by the much higher price tag. Now, we are offering the customers more choices for slimmer and simpler bands for those who want the choice metal at accessible price levels,” rings/PAGE 9

Local Health Board’s being more conversant about their data and could therefore act based on this data. Although data was readily available through manuals and eSystems, they were apparently not being utilized to come up with data-driven decisions to allocate and prioritize health funding according to where they are
most needed. Barangay Level Focus Meantime, a parallel study “Health Services Utilization and Customer satisfaction among Inter-Local Health Zones in Lanao del Norte Region 10” led by Pamela F. Resurreccion, College of Business Administration and Accounting, MSUIIT, seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the structure for devolved services of the DOH, particularly the ILHZ of Lanao del Norte. “DOH has devolved health services to the local level through ILHZ Lanao del Norte so we focused on what services were availed by the residents, sampled from eight municipalities, or two per ILHZ,” Resurreccion said. “Analysis was done at the barangay health stations, municipal centers and district hospitals at the ratio of one per ILHZ.” T he te am’s f i nd i ng s indicate that health services availed at the barangay level are more preventive such as immunization, medical check-ups especially maternal health, while people tended to avail of curative services at the municipal and district levels for more serious cases. “Satisfaction levels are favorable. We recommended coming up with customer service modules in hospitals and information, education and communications (IEC) campaigns to improve services further,” Resurreccion said. In another effort to further improve data capture and utilization, Prof. Lemuel Clark P. Velasco, IT Dept. Faculty of MSU-IIT, heads the team seeking to field test a Geographic Information System (GIS) using Google Visualization Aids for mass drug administration of Schistosomiasis in 3 phases: the first and second phases are done, development and
testing of visualizations with the third phase for c o m m e rc i a l i z at i o n a re ongoing. “This research will not be useful if it will not be used by an end user. The last phase to be done in the coming month is user validation of the tools by the target users, health officers, in areas with Schistosomiasis cases,” Velasco said.

he added. It i s s a i d b y s o m e historians, following evidence from historical artifacts, that the exchange of braided rings among couples was first observed as a wedding practice in ancient Egypt more than 4,000 years ago. The ancient Egyptians believed that the circle is a symbol of eternity. For them, the shape of wedding rings signif ies the love never ending love between the newlyweds. With its durability and long lasting quality, platinum is most fitting to speak of a couple’s past, present, and future. S u a r e z We d d i n g Rings’ latest offerings of p e r s o n a l i z e d p l at i nu m rings express every couple’s unique love story.

She immediately called the attention of the Information Desk Officer, Staff Sergeant Roland B Laure about the thrown objects and they found two sachets of suspected shabu and a brown pocket wallet. SSg Laure immediately accosted Valmoria and Yamson and informed the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) region 10, also stationed inside Camp Evangelista to facilitate the said arrest. Valmoria and Yamson claimed that they bought the said shabu from a certain Arnel Marquez (true name is not given in order not to pre-empt the follow up operation). The two are now under the custody of CIDG 10. MGen Benjamin R Madrigal Jr, 4ID commander, lauded the arresting MP personnel and informed the public about the role of the Armed Forces of the Philippines as far as support to law enforcement operations of the Philippine National Police (PNP) is concerned. Madrigal said, “I congratulate our soldiers on how they carried out their assigned task on ensuring security inside the camp. We remind everyone that the Philippine Army will not tolerate anyone who will commit crime and/or any violation of regulations. Part of our mandate is to support our PNP on their law enforcement operations to ensure everyone will live peacefully and will be freed from prohibited drugs and any form of violence.” (4ID/PA)

In re: PETITION FOR CORRECTION OF ENTRIES IN THE SPL. PROC. NO. 320-07-2016 CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH OF VIRGENIA ARSENO DAGPIN otherwise known as VIRGINIA ARSENO DAGPIN, her place of birth from “Bag-ong Ingod Settlement, Tangkal, Lanao del Norte” to “MAGSAYSAY, LANAO DEL NORTE”; Father’s surname from “DAGCIN” to “DAGPIN”; Mother’s name off line reads to make it clear as “PROFETISA ARSENO”.
x----------------------------------/ ORDER
A verified petition for adoption of minor child DEMILOU BANO was filed before this Court on June 09, 2016 by the herein petitioner praying among others that after notice and hearing, an Order be issued decreeing the adoption of DEMILOU CHRISTIAN BANO as the legitimate child of the Petitioner-father. Petitioner alleges that he is of legal age, and resident of San Juan, Baroy, Lanao del Norte. That out of his cohabitation with a certain ARMILYNE E. BANO, a child named DEMILOU CHRISTINE BANO was born on March 26, 2000. That Petitioner at the time of the child’s birth was legally married to one Ruby Corazon G. Fernan. However, his marriage was declared null and void in a Decision dated October 23, 2000, by the then, Honorable Judge Oscar E. Zerna. That ever since her birth on March 26, 2000, said minor child DEMILOU CHRISTIAN BANO has always been under the care and custody of the herein petitioner and her mother, being their own daughter. That after the first marriage of the petitioner was declared null and void, he married ARMILYNE E. BANO, the mother of the child on November 27, 2000. That owing to the fact that at that time of the conception and birth of the child, Petitioner was suffering from a legal impediment, the child cannot be legitimized under Article 177 of the Family Code. Being the biological father of the child, petitioner wanted to adopt DEMILOU CHRISTIAN BANO in order to elevate the status of the child from ILLEGITIMATE to LEGITIMATE so as to be at par with her younger siblings. That petitioner has all the necessary qualification and none of the disqualification to adopt the minor child. That he is in possession of all civil and legal rights and have not been convicted of any crime involving moral turpitude. That being the natural father, he, now been legally married to the child’s mother and living together as husband and wife, is emotionally and psychologically capable of caring of his own daughter DEMILOU CHRISTIAN BANO and has proven capable to support and care for the child minor sufficient income for the child’s well being as she grows up. That if petition be granted, it will ultimately redound to the best interest of the child elevating her civil status from ILLEGITIMATE to LEGITIMATE child of the petitioner. Finding the petition to be sufficient in form and substance, set the initial hearing of the case to October 7, 2016 at 8:30 in the morning before the sala of this Court. Let copy of this Order be furnished the Office of the Solicitor General at Makati City, Office of the Public Prosecutor at Pigcarangan, Tubod, Lanao del Norte, Office of the Local Civil Registrar of Baroy, Lanao del Norte, Atty. Dorothea Basalo, counsel for the petitioner of Poblacion, Tubod, Lanao del Norte, Felix Vicent C. Campos, the petitioner of San Juan, Baroy, Lanao del Norte.

He/she is directed to submit a report relative therewith, at least three (3) days before the scheduled hearing of the petition.

She was born on March 5, 1957 to spouses LUIS DAGPIN and PROFETIZA ARSENO at formerly Bangong Ingod Settlement, Lanao Tangcal, NOW, Magsaysay, Lanao del Norte. In all her school records and documents of importance, she consistently used VIRGINIA A. DAGPIN and such fact appears in her Transcript of Records, UMID GSIS CARD, DEPed ID Card, Community Tax Certificate, Appointment as Teacher III, Voter’s Certificate and other personal documents. When she secured a SECPA copy of her Birth Certificate, she was surprised that her name is spelled as VIRGENIA instead of “VIRGINIA”, her place of birth also appeared as “LANAO TANGKAL BAGONG INGOD SETTLEMENT”, instead of “MAGSAYSAY, LANAO DEL NORTE, the name she knew as her birthplace since she reached the age of reason.

x--------------------------------------/ ORDER
A verified petition for Cancellation of Entry in the Certificate of Live Birth of Kenneth Rex Villar etc was filed before this Court on July 8, 2016 by the herein petitioner praying among others that after notice and hearing, an Order be issued directing the Respondent Office to effect the Cancellation and correction of entry sought for. Petitioner alleges that he is of legal age, Filipino, married and resident of P-Roses, Maloro, Tangub City. Respondent is sued in her official capacity.

DENNIS ADAM VILLAR LIGAN, JR. who was born on December 11, 1999 at the Lanao del Norte Provincial Hospital. That lately, when Petitioner’s child applied for a job abroad, he was informed that the entry under the Entry No: 5b IF MULTIPLE BIRTH, CHILD WAS, is erroneous as there is an X mark to the space: Second when the choices should have been left in blank in view of the fact that the type of birth when he was delivered was SINGLE. Moreso, the entry under Entry No. 58 as to the child’s name is erroneous; it was only written as KENNETH V. LIGAN when it should have been KENNETH REX V. LIGAN, as indicated in Entry No. 1 of the said Certificate of Live Birth and he has always been known as KENNETH REX V. LIGAN. When he verified the Certificate of Live Birth of his eldest son GENESIS ADAM, the same contained the same erroneous entry as there is also an X mark in the space: First in Entry No. 5b. IF MULTIPLE BIRTH CHILD WAS, when the choices should had been left in blank, as the delivery of said child was SINGLE birth and not multiple birth. Petitioner comes to Court to seek remedy for the aforementioned erroneous entries in the Certificate of Live Birth of his sons namely: KENNETH REX and GENESIS ADAM. He is desirous to correct those entries as to avoid confusion and future inconveniences. Filed in good faith.

then-straight-ass et-sale option’ may fetch higher value in terms of cash proceeds. That will then be their basis and justification on their propounded divestment plan – which is also indispensable in seeking the approval of the PSALM Board. The plant’s contracted capacity would have been offered for IPPA deal with interested parties by second half of this year – from a skidded timeline in 2015. In the original plan, there is specific condition dangled to prospective investors that the facility’s tariff would not be adjusted over specified period of time. However, that dampened the appetite of some bidders. The 210-megawatt Mindanao coal plant is under a 25-year build-operatetransfer (BOT) contract with private sponsors – reckoned from its effective commercial operation date in November 2006. Because of its contracted capacity, the privatization scheme framed through the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) is of the IPPA appointment mode. But with the buyout plan, direct divestment of the facility could be consummated later on.—www.mb.com.ph

Electric Cooperative (MAGELCO). ERC Chairman Jose Vicente B. Salazar has noted that in keeping with their investigation and enforcement function,
they “will see to it that every stakeholder complies with all relevant laws and directives… to promote and protect the long-term interests of the consumers.” Patently, the DDP is the enabling document submitted by the distribution utilities to the Department of Energy (DOE) that in turn, shall also be the latter’s basis in updating and integrating their inputs into the overall Philippine Energy Plan. In essence, this shall detail out the DUs programs on “acquisition of sub-transmission assets, expansion and rehabilitation of distribution facilities, and the costs associated to these activities in order to deliver the electric power services to the projected number of customers and their corresponding energy and demand requirements. The ERC has stipulated that “upon receipt and c ons i d e r at i on of t he i r respective explanations, the ERC found no justifiable reason to absolve FBPC, ALECO, ABRECO and MAGELCO from the imposition of penalty.” The regulatory body further pointed out that “the erring DUs were ordered to pay the amount o P50,000 each” as prescribed under the relevant provisions of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act. The ERC explained that “the DDP helps in its review of the DUs’ capital expenditure applications and facilitates fulfillment of (its) mandate of ensuring reasonable power rates.” The regulator y body expounded that it received “a letter from the DOE in June, 2015 requesting the issuance
of a Show Cause Order (SCO) to the aforementioned DUs for their failure to comply with the submission of the DDP.” The ERC qualified “SCOs were issued to the erring DUs directing them to submit their respective explanations on why no administrative penalty should be imposed upon them.”

​First int ’l EDM fest in CDO a success Story and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO Lifestyle Editor
ELECTRIQ Asylum, a rave party headlined by the Belgiumbased Israeli duo Itay Kalderon and Zohar Bartov, collectively known as Jetfire, was highly successful last Saturday at Limketkai Parking Lot D garnering more than a thousand partiers in
attendance. This despite huge winds knocking out two of the sound boxes hours before the event and soaking both the LED wall and the pyrotechnics, rendering them useless. Into the wee hour
of Sunday dawn, Jetfire electrified the crowd with their unique blend of rock music smoothly mixed with their own tracks. They were backstopped earlier by foreign DJs Rivero and Jason Dewey who are both in the EDM scene for the past five years or so. Together with Jetfire, the three acts have already
fronted mainstream artists in their past gigs to mention a few Tiesto, Hardwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, Paul Oakenfold, Far East Movement and many more. Of course, they were supported by local acts Marc Marasigan, Funk Avy and the stunning Jennifer Lee as well
as homegrown DJ RB Banaag in the early hours of the show. The people were indeed entertained not just by the music but the drinks courtesy of Primera Light Brandy and Blu Energy Drink as well as pica-pica coming from Buffalo Grill. Nearby there was also a beer pong showdown to cool things a bit
as the beat on the dancefloor was intensifying. The party, dubbed as Electriq Asylum, was brought to us by Xyndicate Productions and local partner Buffalo Entertainment & Events Promotions (BEEP). BEEP is expected to organize more events in Cagayan de Oro this year.
