PRDP roads ISULAN, Sultan Kudarat -- Farms covering about 2,000 hectares in this town will soon have improved access to markets with the completion of P36.7 million worth of roads under the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP).

There are three farm-to-market roads, of which one is 95% complete, Amalia J. Datukan, Regional Director of Department of Agriculture-Region 12 (DA-12), announced last week.

The paving projects are the San Martin road (95% complete) in Barangay Kudanding, costing P18.6 million; Tayugo-Paladong (38%), worth P17.8 million; and Bual-Talitay FMR (30%), P16.2 million.

Adopt children THE Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in northern Mindanao is encouraging families to adopt children who are now under its custody.

Elena Palma, social welfare officer for the Department, says that about 12 children in the Regional Reception and Study Center for Children, a residential facility of the DSWD based in Cagayan de Oro are available for foster care or for legal adoption. Their ages range from zero to seven years old. Another nine children are also currently being assessed to be declared as available for adoption.

“There is now an increasing number of children who need families to love them, to take care of them; these little ones need to be integrated with good families and communities which are necessities to the well-being of a child.”

Roles of Parents in the K to 12 Basic Education Program: A Glance Lindo M. Cayadong Teacher III Opol National Secondary Technical School Opol, Misamis Oriental

Parents are one of the vital components in attaining the objectives of the K to 12 education pro g r am . Wit h t h i s development of educational curriculum, parents need to be well-informed on this innovation. DepEd gives due consideration and appropriate support to ensure that parents will be able to live up to fulfill their significant roles in the program. K to 12 basic education programs does not mean that parents will have more financial costs for their children’s education. Decongestion of the curriculum helps students concentrate on the expected learning

competencies intended for a grading period. Training and seminars are in place to prepare teachers for the implementation of the project. Parents play roles in the K to 12 Education Program. They need to fully understand the full structure of this initiative. Thus, their support is necessary to convey the vision of K to 12 closer to reality.

Parents are encouraged to understand the rationale of K to 12 and the implications it br i ng . Acqui re t he qualities and skills of a K to 12 parents. Be a strong partner to implement K to 12 education program by participating in K to 12 orientations and community information drive. Have a kind heart to inquire on the K to 12 education program.

Putting First Things First: Essential towards achieving goals

By William N. Soria Teacher III Tangub City National High School

“Leadership is the c ap a c i t y t o t r a n s l at e vision into reality.” — Warren Bennis Leadership is challenging because being a leader means a lot of tough situations and problems that lies ahead. Most of the times, a leader will be in a situation where he plans, organizes, makes sure that things run as planned, tests and risks.

In tackling all of these, there is no turning back and a leader should be brave and courageous to face these situations and problems.

Leadership is e xc it i ng a l s o b e c aus e it involves learning a lot of things, which would not be gained in just an ordinary situation. Lots of knowledge comes at hand b e yond comfor t zones; it is gained after taking responsibilities, performing duties and doing tasks that are not normally done.

The achievement of t he i r go a l as a g roup

highly depends on how he handles the team and situation. Thus, he should be well-equipped and effective in handling these responsibilities.

In a business book Seven Habits of Highly Effective People written by author Steven R .

C ove y, he st ate d t hat one of habits of effective people is the ability to prioritize things or putt i ng “f i rst t h i ng s” first. It means that in driving a particular or g an i z at i on t ow ard s achieving goals and vision, one should consider the matter of importance. True, if one deal with crises, tougher problems and deadlinedriven projects first, life will be a lot easier.

Leaders are light that blazes a trail. Thus, he shou l d re a l i z e t he importance of prioritizing more important things before doing the others, b e c au s e i t’s o n e w ay to be successful in accomplishing assigned tasks.

DBP-Landbank merger bill revived at House The Governance Commission for G overnment-O wned or -Controlled Corporations (GCG) and regulator Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) both backed the proposal, with the former suggesting a consolidation in lieu of a merger.

“We appreciate the fact that this is being pushed...

I think it is high time that these two institutions should be merged,” GCG Chairman Cesar L. Villanueva said during the hearing. “Or perhaps in order not to r uf f le feathers, instead of a merger, it could be a consolidation.”

Deliberations on t he prop os a l, howe ver, were stalled as no DBP representative attended the hearing. Mr. Collantes said further talks will be held by the committee, with the

panel open to the option to dissolve the two banks and to create a new state-owned institution.

Simi l ar bi l ls on t he Landbank-DBP merger have been filed before previous Congresses, but have not secured any approval since.

As proposed now, the existing capital for the fused bank will be raised to P100 billion, up from the combined P60 billion in current authorized stock of the two entities. The additional amount will be raised from 400,000 common shares with a par value of P100 per share.

The merger is also being pushed in anticipation of the upcoming Southeast Asian market integration, especially with the enactment of a law allowing the full entry of foreign banks signed last July 15.

RCBC raises more funds via dollar notes

NEDA says inflation rate slows down in January

THE PROPOSAL to merge t h e L a n d B a n k of t h e Philippines (Landbank) with the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) -both state-run banks -- has been revived at the House of Representatives.

The House Committee on Banks and Financial Intermediaries yesterday took up a measure authorizing the merger of the two government financial institutions, with the Landbank seen as the surviving entity.

Panel chair man and B at a n g a s R e p. Ne l s o n P. Collantes filed House Bill 5350, which seeks to “rationalize the operations of existing government agencies” by consolidating the two state banks, which is seen to be redundant.

“The merger of the DBP and Landbank is necessary

RIZAL COMMERCIAL Banking Corp. (RCBC) has reopened its offering of unsecured fixed rate notes under its $1-billion medium-term program to raise more funds for its operations and for debt refinancing, it disclosed to the bourse on

as the functions or purposes of both banks duplicate and/ or unnecessarily overlap w it h one anot her,” t he proposal reads.

Under the measure, all assets and liabilities of the DBP will be transferred to Landbank, which will then take on the powers currently exercised by the former.

L a n d b a n k ’s a s s e t s stood at P911 billion as of September 2014, according to its Web site.

For its part, DBP had P437 billion in assets as of the same period last year, data on its own Web site showed.

CONSOLIDATION Both take in deposits and g ive out lo ans for ag r ic u lture, indust r i a l, and home financing, but Landbank is given the added task to facilitate transfers of agrarian land.

Friday.

“This is to inform the Exchange that Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. reopened its USD 200 million 4.25% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due 2020...via a second USD 43 million tranche...drawdown off its USD 1 billion medium term note program,” the listed lender said in its disclosure.

A benchmark-sized offering is typically at least $500 million.

The latest offering comes after the $200 million it raised last month under the same $1-billion program.

The second tranche of unsecured debt will likewise have a tenor of five years and one day, will be issued on Feb.

10 and will be listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange, the Yuchengco-led lender said.

It added that proceeds of the bond issuance will be used to finance operations and for general corporate purposes.

This includes the refinancing of the previously issued $250-million worth of notes carrying a rate of 6.25%, which RCBC said are due on Feb. 9.

Standard Chartered Bank has been tapped as the sole lead arranger and bookrunner for the transaction.

RCBC’s net income for the first nine months of 2014 dropped by 56.1% to P3.01 billion from the same period of 2013.

INFLATION continued to slow down to 2.4 percent last month from 2.7 percent in December last year, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) announced on Thursday.

Economic Planning Secretar y Arsenio M. Balisacan attributed the drop in inflation rate to the adequate supply of basic food items, and lower petroleum neda/PAGE 11

VIEWPOINTS OF A SCHOOL LEADER IN ERADICATING/ REDUCING DROP-OUT RATE OF THE SCHOOL LINDO M. CAYADONG Teacher III Opol National Secondary Technical School Opol, Misamis Oriental

Dropping out in the class for a pupil/student is likely to happ en in a s cho ol year. Various reasons of doing so come in different p e r s p e c t i v e s . Po s s i b l e causes of dropping out are maybe due to the school, the community and himself.

These could be due to health reasons, financial instability, lack of interest, no proper valuing of education. With all these, DepEd envisions every Filipino to have access to a quality education. Attaining education for oneself is likened to equipping oneself to fight challenges of life in the future. As a Filipino, one has to arm him with quality education for him to produce quality and come out for his maximum potential.

An adage “A blind cannot guide those who can see” is

a touching maxim that could really push one to study.

Coming up with best solutions to address problems of dropping out in a school is good gesture of helping the Filipino nation, a best place to live in. As a school leader, it is best for one to equip class advisers with the skills of eradicating/reducing dropout rate in their respective classes. Eliminating/reducing the drop-out rate in the school is a responsibility of each one in the academic community. The school head, the teachers, the pupils/ students, the parents, the community and the various stakeholders should work hand in hand for the effective delivery of quality education.

The teachers, as front liners in the classroom should be friends to every learner. The

teacher should conduct a homeroom PTA meeting regularly. Regular home visit can also be a good factor to maintain attendance. A teacher should be a father/ mother, a friend, an adviser, a guidance counselor to every learner. A teacher is there to listen to every pupil/student.

In turn, the parents need to monitor also the whereabouts of their children especially during class hours. As a whole, every learner is provided with a second home away from home. Comments and suggestions are welcome through lindocayadong@ yahoo.com

Traitors in Mamasapano murders?

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…

You, LORD God Almighty, you who are the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to wicked traitors…” (Psalm 59:5, the Holy Bible).

-ooo TRAITORS AGAINST COUNTRY AND NATION I N M A M A S A PA N O MURDERS? I don’t know if anyone noticed, but ousted Special Action Force chief Director Getulio Napenas just released a bombshell when he accused, in so many words, some people from the military and the police, and even from the government itself, as traitors to the Philippine government and the Filipino nation insofar as attempts to arrest or neutralize terror suspects are concerned.

In his testimony before Senators on Monday, February 09, 2015, Napenas said he decided not to disclose the Mamasapano, Maguindanao police operation on January 25, 2015 to arrest Zulkifli bin Hir, alias Marwan, and Bassit Usman, to the Armed Forces of the Philippines, because he was afraid that someone there may leak the information once again and allow Marwan and Usman to escape once more, as they did in the past.

And, w hat is more, it would seem that even resigned Director General Alan Purisiman shared

A Sinking Ship

T

hink a minute…

Imagine we are on a large ship out on the ocean.

The captain knows that there is a hole in the boat and we’re sinking, but he does not tell us passengers.

Instead, he invites us all to go up to first class. All the beer and liquor is free.

We’re allowed to party and do basically anything we want on the ship. Naturally, we passengers are loving our freedom. But all the time we’re partying and getting drunk, the ship continues to sink. Each minute brings us closer to our death. So what? Let’s eat, drink and be merry for we’re all going to die anyway, right? We might as well go out in style and have fun while it lasts.

T h i s i s a c tu a l l y t h e w ay m any p e op l e l i ve .

They think they’re free— through alcohol, drugs, sex with anyone they want, cheating for more money or status, and anything else that makes them feel good for awhile. But their life is a sinking ship!

Instead of being truly free, they’re actually slaves to their own appetites and uncontrolled physical desires for pleasure. Their life is empty and they’re desperately trying to fill it with all kinds of pleasures, prosperity, or power. Yet, even though they know in

their conscience that none of these things satisfy them for long, they keep doing it.

Jesus C hr ist did not come to br ing us a lot of strict, boring rules that take all the fun out of life. He actually came to save us from hurting and destroying ourselves, so we can finally be free from our own greed and uncontrolled physical urges. As the Maker of life, Jesus’ commands are simply life’s principles for real satisfaction and success.

His ways are like wings to a bird or sails to a ship. So why not finally get yourself free from your uncontrolled physical pleasures or greed?

Just ask Jesus to forgive you and start changing you daily. Then you can begin to get the real satisfaction that lasts, not to mention be saved from sinking.

Napenas’ belief that some people at the AFP and the PNP, and even some other civilian authorities, could not be trusted with sensitive information about operations to arrest Marwan and Usman, prompting him to “advise” Napenas not to tell anyone about the Mamasapano operations beforehand.

-ooo “HA N G T H E TRAITORS”: AFP Chief of Staff General Gregorio Catapang was quick to deny that the AFP had a hand in the leaks, but Napenas seemed to be so sure of himself about the treachery of some men in uniform and, perhaps, even of some civilian officials who, he said, had links with rebel groups, particularly the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

One newspaper report about what Napenas said in the Senate hearing went this way: “According to Napeñas, whenever major operations against the two high-value targets were planned, the information was leaked because the targets were coddled by the MILF, which had many contacts in the police and the military. This was the reason a high level of operational security and secrecy was necessary for Oplan Exodus, he said.”

I say this is a bombshell because it is a shocking proof that there are some men and women in government who

have been sworn to be loyal to the country and its people, but who may have been acting as traitors, betraying their oath of office, and betraying the trust given to them by the Filipino nation, for grisly considerations. In some other countries, traitors are immediately hanged.

-ooo ARRESTS NEED NOT BE COORDINATED WITH MILF: Lawyer Perfecto Yasay Jr., a former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission under President Ramos, clarified that the arrest of so-called “high value targets”, such as Marwan and Usman, are exempt from coordination with the MILF under existing agreements. So, why are some officials saying the Special Action Force should have coordinated with the MILF first before proceeding to Mamasapano?

-ooo COMPLAINT OVER YOL A N DA A I D I N BURAUEN, LEYTE: Here is a text message from Burauen, Leyte, translated in English: “Good morning Atty.

Mauricio… My complaint is that, we signed that we will be receiving P30,000.00 as aid to help us recover from the damage brought by Yolanda. Yet, we were given only P10,000.00 allegedly on instructions of a local official.

Where did the balance of P20,000.00 go? What can we

do?” Maybe Burauen, Leyte officials can answer this?

-ooo POCKETING AID CONSTITUTES GRAFT: If somebody pocketed the P20,000.00 that was supposed to have been given to Yolanda victims in Burauen, Leyte, this could amount to graft and cor r upt ion, under Section 3 (e) of the AntiGraft and Corrupt Practices Act. Withholding financial assistance after the supposed recipient signed for its receipt is corruption of the highest order.

Fighting against lukewarmness

T

his is a very common spiritual illness. What’s so dangerous about it is that it often passes as something ordinary and normal. It hardly causes any worry, much less, alarm. It lulls many of us to think there’s no problem.

It’s an attitude, a mindset, and, worse, a culture that is stuck with the minimalist virus, contented with what is practical, convenient, popular, profitable, etc., and goes no further. It justifies itself by saying, “Why do I need to go any further?

Things are already ok as they are.”

It is the perfect expression of the adage, “The good is the enemy of the best.” And so it fails to submit itself to the law of love that requires self-giving without measure, a total self-giving whose language is generosity and heroism all the way to death.

Of course, behind that justification is a subtle, u n s p o k e n c omprom i s e with one’s laziness and other weaknesses, not to mention, his lack of faith and spirit of sacrifice. That justification puts one in the Stop mode of his spiritual life, when it is supposed always to Go, to Move, to Grow always.

In the Book of Revelation, there is a clear condemnation of such spiritual illness.

“Because you are lukewarm,

and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.” (3,16) We have to be more aware of this danger and do all to avoid, if not fight against it.

The basic and indispensable antidote to this danger is love, the proper kind of love that comes only from God and is a living participation of the very love of God which is the only kind of love there is.

This love has the power of continuing self-renewal and self-perpetuation, and of supporting and even going beyond our physical and other natural powers. This is the love that will keep us always young and vibrant, and will give us a taste of eternity while still in time.

How to keep that love burning, how to continually feed it is a concern we ought to cultivate in ourselves.

We can be sure that we are not engaging here in some quixotic, unrealistic adventure, since on the part of God, everything is already given to us.

He has given us his grace in abundance, his saving doctrine, his sacraments, the Church, the living Christian tradition, etc. The Holy Spirit is with us. Christ has promised that he will be with us till the end of time.

What is needed is our prompt and permanent

correspondence. In this regard, we have to realize the importance of some practical plan or program that would help maintain our love aflame.

Certainly, we need to have time ever yday for deep prayer, an intimate conversation with God where we bring all our concerns and meditate on God’s word so we would be in vital contact with him and his will for us. We have to find means to keep ourselves in his presence all throughout the day.

We need to have time to go the sacraments, especially Confession and the Holy Eucharist. We have to wage a continuing struggle against our weakness, temptations and sin, and to grow in the different virtues.

For sure, if our prayer and dealings with God are aut h e nt i c an d n ot just formalistic and even hypocritical, we would always feel the urge to immerse ourselves in the lives of others and the affairs of the world. We would be consumed with the attitude and desire of Christ towards all men and the world, and that is to save and not to condemn.

In this regard, we will feel the urge to evangelize others and the world in general, as well as the certainty of being evangelized by them, since

HINTS

and

Traces

By Fr. Roy Cimagala

God, no doubt, will speak to us through them, showing us the concrete and finer points of his will for us.

We have to realize that no matter how dirtied and corrupted by evil people and the things of the world are, we can always discern, if we have faith, if we are with God himself, precious lessons and messages that would be good to our soul.

This is how to fight lukewarmness and complacency. It is a matter of filling ourselves with love that God himself gives us in abundance, making use of a practical and practicable program that would help us to be always with God. It would be good if we can avail of some spiritual direction and counseling so we can devise a plan of spiritual life that is suited to our specific conditions. roycimagala@gmail.com

Game of the Generals G

ame of the Generals is a board game invented by a Filipino inventor named Sofronio “Ronnie” Pasola, Jr. in the 1970s who holds the patent.

It is an educational board game that you can learn and play in the short time of 20-30 minutes; yet, the game has limitless variations to challenge you for a lifetime. It is designated for two (2) players and requires 100% skill.

The game engages your psychological prowess, sharpens your memory and deductive thinking as well as develop awareness for strategy and organization. It is recommended for all ages.

The game simulates armies at war trying to outsmart and outmaneuver each other. As in an actual warfare, the game allows one side only a sketchy view of the other side’s plan. Certain strategies or tactics; however, allows both sides chances of securing a better idea of the other’s plans as the game progresses.

The company is setting-up clubs called regiments in every city/ municipality in the world. The objective of the clubs is to teach and train people of all ages who would love to learn the game or would like to compete in local, regional, national and later on international tournaments.

in Sulu, Davao City, Quezon City and Tacurong City.

The scheduled rally for Tacurong City in Sultan Kudarat was transferred to Datu Paglas in Maguindanao after the group failed to secure a permit in Tacurong.

Meanwhile, a caravan heading for Zamboanga City was stopped by policemen as the city government strictly enforced the no-permit norally policy.

“At least one million people are in attendance in various rally sites,” claimed Raby Angkal, of MAP. Streamers calling for the passage of the draft law littered around downtown where the assembly was held.

The group said it is opposed to plans to water down the bill. It also urged the country’s lawmakers to continue the BBL deliberations according to the road map of the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (GPH-MILF).

“BBL ang susi sa pangmatagalang katahimikan sa Mindanao. Isabatas na!”

(BLL is the key to lasting peace in Mindanao. Pass the law!) a streamer said.

Angkal also urged legislators not to sacrifice the gains of the 17-year-old peace process and asked them to conduct separate probe of the Mamasapano carnage.

“The people of Mindanao are tired of war. They are tired of evacuation and the cycle of violence. This can only stop if the BBL is approved and implemented,” Rangkal said.

Airport... from page 1

del Norte Governor Rodolfo P. del Rosario, chair of the council.

Mr. del Rosario, the main backer of the new airport proposal, pointed out that future expansion for the existing Francisco Bangoy International Airport, located within a 217-hectare in the northern part of the city, would no longer be possible given the urban development in the surrounding area.

Under the preliminary proposal being pushed by Mr. del Rosario, a 1,000-hectare area for the new airport will have to be identified, with the Island Garden City of Samal as the primary target site.

The governor said Samal, the main tourist attraction of his province, has total of 30,000 hectares and it would be easy to allocate at least 1,000 hectares for the new airport.

M T. H A M I G U I TA N FACTOR For the option to develop satellite airports, one of the potential facilities that can be revived is the abandoned airport in Mati City, Davao Oriental, which was built in the 1970s and named Imelda Marcos Airport.

Mat i May o r C a r l o s Luis P. Rabat and Davao Oriental Governor Corazon N. Malanyaon have both proposed that the airport be re-developed to serve the expected increase in tourist arrivals following the declaration last year of Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary as a United Nations Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site.

The provincial government and other local units covered

by Mt. Hamiguitan, with support from international funding agencies and national government agencies, have started implementing an ecotourism development program in the area.

The RDC’s vice-chair,

National Economic and Development Authority Regional Director Ma. Lourdes D. Lim, acknowledged that an increase in inbound passengers is expected from the Mt. Hamiguitan attraction.

“Growth is seen to be higher in 2015 for the region’s air transport industry given the major tourism-related activities this year, including the opening of the Mt. Hamiguitan Nature Park in Davao Oriental,” Ms. Lim said.

The Francisco Bangoy International Airport has exceeded its capacity of two million passengers as shown in the 2011 and 2013 data of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines-Davao. Its annual average growth rate was 10.56% in the last five years, handling 2,795,251 passengers in 2013.

“Three out of the six indicators for air transport exceeded the 2014 targets,” said Ms. Lim. Among the six indicators are inbound and outbound cargo both for domestic and foreign destinations, outbound passengers, inbound passengers, inbound and outbound flights.

“If we don’t do anything (now), we might lose the growing market of passengers and cargo in the region,” Mr. del Rosario said.

The Davao international airport was upgraded more than 10 years ago, partly through a $41-million loan from the Asian Development Bank and $23-million loan from the European Investment Bank.

It was inaugurated in December 2003 with a new terminal building. The old terminal building, which has since been left unutilized, is being planned for renovation as a shopping and cultural center that will be connected to the new building.

(D OTC) publishe d t he invitation to pre-qualify and bid for the development, operations and maintenance of six airport PPP projects: Laguindingan, Davao, Bohol, Iloilo, Bacolod and Puerto Princesa.

The World Bank identified these airport projects as essential infrastructure to realize the Master Plan for Asean Connectivity (MPAC).

The participants will discuss the initial outcomes of the small businesses they started following the first phase of the academy held last November where they learned the basic concepts of business start-up, designed a business plan, and received seed money to implement their business project.

In April, participants will meet again in Cagayan de Oro City for Phase 3, a two-day entrepreneurship summit that will allow participants to showcase their projects for local business leaders and civil society organizations who may be interested to support and expand the projects.

prices and electricity rates.

“The lower inflation out-turn in the first month of 2015 bodes well for consumption growth. It is aligned with market expectations, given the consensus forecast of 2.4 percent for the same period.

It is also within the medium-term inflation target set at 2 to 4 percent for the year by the Development Budget Coordination Committee,” said Balisacan, who is also the director general of NEDA. He said the absence of new major economic and weather shocks that could considerably affect food supply, and the normalization of the supply of other food products due to the lifting of the expanded truck ban in September 2014 have also helped ease inflation.

Balisacan further reported that rice prices, which account for 38 percent of total food inflation, continued to ease their year-onyear growth last month, with rice stocks registering a double-digit year-on-year growth in December 2014.

The rollbacks in the prices of petroleum, kerosene and Liquefied Petroleum Gas prices since the last quarter of 2014, owing to rising global oil supply and low oil demand, also contributed to the slowdown of inflation, he noted, adding that this resulted in reduced electricity rates in January.

Balisacan however warned of “risks to a manageable inflation rate” in the coming months. (PNA)
