Tourism devt DAVAO del Norte -- Davao del Norte has to further develop its destinations and believe in its tourism products to champion tourism. Speaking during the Monday Convocation, Davao Region Tourism Council Chairperson Mary Ann M. Montemayor posed the challenges citing these as main ingredients to champion tourism which last year hit a two billion mark in number of travellers worldwide. She believed that the province exerted efforts to further develop the tourism industry, saying it levelled up to become an ACE destination with its strength on agriculture, culture and ecotourism. Aside from having known Davao del Norte as the “legendary” source of bananas for export, Montemayor noted that the province took pride of its culture and heritage, its festivals and its world-class talents and music, while its rivers, caves, waterfalls make it a place for outdoor adventures.

2 Gov’t aiding evacuees of Basyang, Mindanao armed conflict wednesday|february 5, 2014
SECRETARY of Social Welfare and Development Corazon Juliano-Soliman said that the Department continues to assist evacuees of tropical storm Basyang in Caraga and the Visayas, and the armed conflict in North Cotabato.
To date, ten evacuation centers, down from the 162 opened at the height of the storm, still exist in Regions VII, VIII, and Caraga to provide temporary shelter to 632 family-evacuees composed of 3,043 individuals. Most e vac ue es have returned home as Basyang left the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Sunday. As of today, some 4,698 families or 23,490 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in North Cotabato are still staying in 24 evacuation
centers while 5,726 families or 28,630 persons opted to stay at their friends’ or relatives’ houses in safe areas. DSWD social workers are providing psychosocial services to distressed families in the evacuation centers to help them cope with the trauma they are presently experiencing. To ensure the daily food needs of the IDPs, DSWD has prepositioned P1 million standby funds, 717 family fo o d p acks, and ot her food and non-food items amounting to P5 million for
augmentation to the relief resources of conflict-affected local government units. DSWD also continues to repack relief goods in Marbel, South Cotabato. On t he ot her hand, the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has sent 100 tents for the displaced families while the United Nations World Food Programme (UN-WFP) has provided food and other non-food items.
Rise in consumption of sugar-laden beverages pose health risk ADDED sugars are caloric sweeteners added to food or beverages during production. Having no nutritional value, added sugars are often referred to as empty calories. The most popular added sugars are sucrose, most commonly known as table sugar, as well as beets and cane sugars, corn syrup, malt syrup, maple syrup, fruit juice concentrates, and honey, to name a few. Moreover, the most popular types of food containing added sugar are sweetened beverages like juices, fruit juice concentrates and soft drinks. The Daily Nutritional Guide Pyramid developed by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Depar tment of S cience and Technology (FNRID O ST) i l lust r ate s t hat sugars and sugar substitutes or alternatives must be consumed in least amounts, as they are near the tip of the
pyramid together with fats and oils. However, global data suggests that the increasing consumption of beverages that are sweetened with added sugar is responsible for the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity across population groups. In a study led by Berkey in 2004 on sugar-added beverages and adolescent weight change, it was found that consumption of beverages that are sweetened with added sugars was associated with body mass index (BMI) gains during the following year. Moreover, consumption of sugar-added beverages may contribute to weight gain among adolescents due to its considerable contribution to total energy intake. Linardakis in 2008 reported a study on the effects of sugar-added beverages consumption among kindergarten children on risk/PAGE 7

Ford Philippines expects faster sales growth in 2014 AFTER posting record-high growth in sales last year, Ford Philippines expects to sell more units this year fuelled partly by the new Ford EcoSport, a company official said late last week. “We grew by 41% last year. This year, we expect to exceed that and grow by more than 41% and we expect the EcoSport to be the main driver,” Minnie Valencia-Bustamante, Ford Philippines vice-president for Marketing and Sales, said. Data from the Chamber of
Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. showed Ford Philippines sold 13,286 units in 2013, up 41.4% from 2012’s 9,398 vehicles. Ms. Valencia-Bustamante said the company expects to sell more than 3,000 units of the EcoSport, which will be imported from Thailand.
“We are taking reservations starting tonight (Thursday) but the vehicles will be here in April,” she added. The EcoSport, unveiled at the 34th Bangkok International Motor Show in March last year, is priced between P775,000 to P975,000. It is available in seven colors, namely: Mars red, candy red, “lunar sky,” ingot silver, “frozen white,” panther black, and “winning blue.”
When will Samsung unveil Galaxy S5 smartphone? SEOUL - Samsung Electronics Co will unveil a new version of its flagship Galaxy S smartphone this month, but expectations are low that features such as a bigger screen will lead to a sharp jump in sales given intensifying competition. Samsung sent out invitations on Tuesday for “Samsung unPacked 5” event on Feb. 24 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The launch has been brought forward by around three weeks after sales of Samsung’s S4 came in weaker than expected, analysts said. The world’s biggest smartphone maker is bracing for its weakest mobile annual profit growth in seven years amid fierce competition from Apple Inc and Chinese vendors, and as growth for high-end smartphones eases due to near saturation in many markets. The S5 is widely expected to feature a bigger screen, an improved rear camera and biometric functions such as iris recognition
or a fingerprint scanner. It may also come with an improved Galaxy Gear smartwatch. The launch at the annual industry gathering is set to reflect a new emphasis on costs, marking a departure from the glitzy marketing Samsung has deployed in the past, including the use of actors and a full live orchestra to launch the S4 at New York’s Radio City Music Hall last year. A bigger screen for the S5 may not become much of a selling point as Apple is widely expected to introduce large-screen smartphones - Samsung’s mainstay products - later this year. Apple is also expected to gain ground in China after it began selling iPhones through China Mobile, the world’s biggest mobile carrier by subscribers, last month. More challenges may come from China’s PC maker Lenovo Group which announced last week it would buy Google Inc’s Motorola Mobility handset unit for $2.9 billion.

No Parking THINK
hink a minute…On this journey called life, do you A Minute sometimes feel like just pulling By Jhan Tiafau Hurst over and parking? You feel like you’ve done enough, worked enough, and learned enough. Now it’s time to relax, let the others do the work, and enjoy the ride. But the problem when we pull over and park is that we get nowhere, since we stop learning and improving to make our life the best it can be. So we don’t reach our potential and live every day to the fullest. One parking place we might stop at is what we wrongly think are our handicaps and weaknesses. We compare ourselves to others who might have certain talents and abilities we don’t have. But we need to realize that we have our own special strengths and abilities. We each must first learn to accept ourselves with our own unique physical looks, personality and abilities. No one is completely handicapped! We each have something important we can be and do in this world. We each were made to make a difference and help other people’s lives. So friend, don’t park by what you think are your handicaps or lack of talents and abilities. Start making the most of the abilities you do have. A second parking place that many of us stop at is our failures. But we’ve all failed! So if you’ve failed join the club! Just learn from it and try again. It’s not how you start but how you finish that makes you a real success. So it’s never too late to get back on the road toward your dreams and goals in life. Time is running out, so you might as well get moving toward the kind of character and life you want. The third place many people park is by their successes. Just because we’ve achieved a little success in life some of us choose to stop. We stop trying, learning, and improving because we’re satisfied with only a little success. But if what you’ve done isn’t your very best, then you’ll never know that you did everything you could in life. Then you’ll have to live with that terrible regret! Think a Minute …

Make Up Call
S
o government goofed when it ordered the premature opening of Laguindingan Airport. It must have been a good idea at the time, the warranty running out and we can’t afford the added expense blah, blah, blah… Okay, so we went along with it and found out to everyone’s consternation LA doesn’t quite cut it as a Visual Flight Rules (VFR) airport when visibility drops even when the weather is fair, and the horrid cost of cancelled flights and the aggravation and expense of going back and forth, back and forth, again and again and again raises the collective temperatures of the affected parties to the point of spontaneous combustion. But wait, here’s a chance for PNoy and all the bright boys who came up with all that jazz about moving general aviation to Sangley Point to decongest NAIA (and not yet pushing through with it, after all). Seems the problem now with LA is the original schedule for the completion of the installation of its landing lights and navigational aids has to be put back five months because guess what? The premature opening cut off a full year or the equivalent of six working months off the contractor’s original time sked to finish the work by June, this year! That’s because he can’t work while the airport operates from 6am-6pm. Oo nga naman. Indeed, when it rains, it really pours! How to move back the sked to its original timeline? Can be done, but we need to “crash” as what our professors for PERT-CPM terms it: you need something done double time? Pay extra for additional inputs and personnel. Seems the winning Korean contractor SKY-KR Consortium won with a bid of only P411, 561,000.00. That’s 32 percent lower than the ABC of P609, 258,191.41 and 42 percent less than the NEDA approved cost of P 708,137,138.00. Thus, a supplemental contract not exceeding the original NEDA approved cost of P708.14 million or even the ABC of P609.26-million can be considered a viable option given the economic losses now being incurred by the people of Northern Mindanao with the flight cancellations and loss of night and early morning flights. This would also be fair to SKY-KR since the Original Construction Schedule of 15 months from March 2013 to June 2014 was based on unrestricted working time condition. When the national government insisted on opening Laguindingan Airport on 15 June 2013, it effectively doubled the remaining 12 months of that contract. Now, the Depar tment of Transp or tation and Communications (DOTC) can ask SKY-KR to expedite a revised program of work which would permit the lights and navaids to be commissioned by June, providing the contractor also agrees to the supplemental contract price of either P197, 697,191.41 or P296, 576,138.00, these two amounts representing the different between the contractor’s winning bid and the ABC and NEDA approved cost for the ANSSF Supply Project, respectively. Once DOTC and SKY-KR reaches an accord, the Regional Development Council for Region X can endorse this to Congress for funding. Both Reps. Rufus B. Rodriguez and
Rep. Maxie B. Rodriguez, Jr. have agreed to help move the ammer draft bill through Congress for and A nvil By Mike Baños approval. It would help a lot however, if all stakeholders in the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Corridor (CIC) growth area served by Laguindingan collectively demand (in a strong, united voice) for the expeditious approval of this supplemental contract citing the urgency of the need and the horrific losses the flight cancellations at Laguindingan have cost the region so far. Flight data of flight cancellations at the Laguindingan Airport compiled by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) show that for January 10-22, 2014 alone, 304 commercial flights (56 percent!!) of 546 scheduled flights were cancelled due to limited visibility brought by inclement weather and the lack of landing lights and navigational aids. Using the P1.5 million per round trip average operating expense of an Airbus A320 on the CDO-MLA-CDO route as benchmark, airlines total losses for the 304 cancelled flights total P228-million, adversely affected 22,800 passengers at an average of 1,800 daily over the 12-day period. This is about the same amount of damages caused by TS Agaton and its aftermath to infrastructure (P273.62 million) and agriculture (P253.49 million) reported by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) last Jan. 30, 2014. The Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foundation, Inc. (Oro Chamber) conservatively estimates the cancelled flights cost Cagayan de Oro alone at P20-M daily in actual and opportunity costs. So it would help the case of DOTC a lot if the supplemental budget was endorsed by the Infrastructure Committee of the Regional Development Council for Region X (RDC-X) which meets this week for the approval and further endorsement by the RDC-X full council meeting scheduled later this month. We need resolutions of support from the LGUs, chambers of commerce and all affected stakeholders to further bolster the urgent need for that supplemental budget, so let’s all raise a hue and cry that’s guaranteed to ring in the ears of PNoy and those bright boys in Malacañang to make haste with that make up call and at least undo a little of the damage their hasty and ill-advised move to prematurely open Laguindingan Airport has caused Cagayan, Iligan and Region X. Uneasy rests the land that realizes we have 24 more letters to go after Basyang that could come down on our heads anytime like the literal ton of bricks. And it isn’t even the rainy season yet! We can’t afford to fly out of that airport into the teeth of another Agaton.

The Torch of the Filipino Hospitality
O
NE person that serves as an inspiration to many Filipino restaurateurs in the early 60’s was an iron fisted lady from Catbalogan, Samar. She was formerly a school teacher in Tacloban City who at a time had an elementary school student by the name of Imelda Romualdez. She was a Teacher in Home Economics who excel in household sewing chores and cooking who married a businessman from Manila whose business was into buy and sell of World War 2nd, surplus Mac Arthur jeeps and office machines discarded in Escolta but when reconditioned and painted were still useful in the provinces. At 59 years old, Trinidad Diaz Enriquez founded her D & E Restaurant along Quezon Boulevard in Quezon City that specializes in Filipino and regional food. She brought a cotillion of cooks from Samar to staff her kitchen. It was the favorite dining place for government officials and Manila’s society who have the gastronomic taste buds for Filipino cuisines. Not long after when President elect Ferdinand E. Marcos took the Presidency from Diosdado Macapagal, Trinidad Diaz Enriquez was invited to cater to Malacañang for the inaugural dinner where who’s who in Philippine business and dignitaries all over the world feasted on renowned Filipino dishes that made our country proud of our distinct cuisines to mention Pinaupong Manok, Lechon Kawali, Kalderetang Baka and Lumpiang Ubod among others. The Palace debut of restaurateur Trinidad Diaz Enriquez leads her to open a Filipino restaurant in what was once the favorite tourist destination in Manila called Nayong Pilipino where all tourist attraction in the Philippines were replicated in miniature setting. Who would imagine that Mayon Volcano of Albay or the famous Chocolate Hills of Bohol could be moved to Pasay where a new Manila International Airport was at the time under construction. No one could accept that
the airport which was once a national pride and touted as a show case of the Marcos the Tourism H i - way Presidency would become By Ped Quiamjot after decades of neglect one of the worst airport of the world in recent airline passenger’s surveys. Trinidad Diaz Enriquez has the perseverance for hard work and discipline. Her honesty in dealing with her clients and transparency in sharing her business success to her employees perhaps were the qualities that catapulted her to become a pioneer in the Filipino chain of restaurants that paved way to a hotel chain which was build with borrowed funds from the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) who were supportive of Filipino entrepreneurs who wanted to make the difference for our country. She might have paid well her borrowed money from the government which qualified her for a World Bank financing to build more tourism infrastructure when the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Meeting was held in Manila in 1979. From a school teacher to hotelier of a world class stature with her properties reaching a total of 1456 room keys all over Metro Manila and assets valued at 3 Billion Pesos at the former exchange rate of 1 USD to Php 18.00, three decades ago. She provided employment and even scholarships to the deserving more than 3700 young professionals and technical men to build her Sulo Group of Hotels and Restaurants which was known as the quiamjot/PAGE 6

PDG SALVADOR “DORING” LABIS CARAGOS, Rotarian Extraordinaire
S
By Rotarian Mike Baños, RC CdO
aturday, February 8, 2014 marks the first death anniversary of our late Past District Governor (PDG) Salvador “Doring” Labis Caragos. PDG Doring was admitted to Rotary International on July, 1971 at the RC of Iligan with Pafs Mejia as his sponsor. He stayed five years with RCIligan but spent the next 38 in RC Cagayan de Oro, earning an unprecedented 40 years of perfect attendance (including Iligan) and over 200 plaques of mer it among t hem, Outstanding Rotarian, Most Active Rotarian and Most Cooperative Rotarian. In RY 1997-1998, he celebrated his silver jubilee as the Top Rotarian in District 3870. In his 42 years with Rotary International, PDG Doring attained significant milestones which his fellow Rotarians in District 3870 would be hard put to match: 35 years chairmanship/ directorship for both club and district in the four avenues of service (as Treasurer, Vice President, President, GGR, Discon Chair, Paul Harris Fellow and Bulletin Editor, including 37 years
as a contributor to the Club Bulletin. Among his significant innovations were organizing t he two-day 1st Yout h Congress for 300 student leaders, introduced SALT (Slope Agricultural Land Technology) and organized RC-North during his club pre s i d e nt i nc u mb e nc y. During this time he also attended almost all Interclub, DISTASS and DISCON conferences as far as Cebu, Iloilo and Zamboanga. He was also active in the international fellowship, traveling extensively around the world to join the 1994 sister club visit to Pusan Dong Rae Rotary Club in Busan and Seoul with Rotarians and Anns, 1994 International Convention in Nice, France and 1995 in Indianapolis, USA; 2 ASEAN Institutes in Manila, 1996 ASEAN Conference in Bangkok and the International Assembly in Anaheim, California.
He j oi ne d t he G ol d e n Anniversary of the Rotary Foundation in its 50th Year Celebration in Los Angeles, USA in 1997. Besides his RI trips, PDG Doring was also an extensive traveler during his lifetime, visiting Hong Kong, France, England, Italy, Monaco, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, USA, Mexico and Japan. During his incumbency as District Governor, he was declared as one of 38 outstanding district governors out of 530 during the RC International Convention attended by 25,000 delegates in Indianapolis, USA in 1998, personally receiving his Presidential Citation from then RI Pres. Glenn Kinross. He was also recognized by RI on the same year for his Membership Development and Extension in RI District 3870, and garnered 46 International Awards for District 3870. And he never failed to pass up an opportunity to pass on to other district governors what he learned. “PDG Doring has always
been supportive of me. He would always tell me to aspire to be president of our club, “ said RCCDO PP and District 38700 Governor Elect Manuel U. Along. “When I became president-elect, he told me I have his support. After my first meeting as club president, he congratulated for handling the meeting well. When I was selected as District Governor Nominee Designate, he called me and said he will support me and that I could go to him for advice.” The ever helpful and available Doring is the constant thread that runs t h rou g h t he c ol l e c t ive memories of his fellow Rotarians at RC CDO. “When we hosted the Discon and we had a very wonderful relationship among our team which included my s e l f a s C o nv e nt i o n Director, PP Joe Gonzaga as President and my late dad PDG Dante Sarraga as aide of the RI Rep. Dr. Ki Yuon,” recalls PP Chito Sarraga. “During my own incumbency as president, he was always present to help with advice
PDG Salvador L. Caragos
whenever I needed it.” “He was like a father to me as he was one of the senior members who cultivated the spirit of Rotary within me,” said PP Ian Mark Nacaya. “Membership development was his forte through which he spent his decades of service to the club by inspiring new
and old members alike with the kind of examples he left exemplified with a mark of excellence and dedication to RI.” “He told me he really liked my columns in Kagayanon during my stint as secretary because they were ‘malaman’, Caragos/PAGE 6

torch of Filipino hospitality in the 70’s to year 2000. I was one of her scholars to a hotel school in Singapore in 1994 and attended later a Management Development Program from the prestigious Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in the national capital region. Those opportunities came when luxury hotels in Metro Manila were slowly turnover to the emerging Filipino hospitality managers that were developed from the tutorship of foreign expatriates. To Doña Trinidad Diaz Enriquez who was called by her creator in the year 2000, there are many words of thanks and gratitude from the men and women in the hospitality industry that will be repeated all over again as we journeyed overseas and in the Tourism Highways of the Philippines. She made us proud to take over the helm of the industry once dominated by the French and German hotel managers and prove that Filipinos can also be world class hotel managers.

“ said President Elect Alvin Benasa. “He was always there for me with a constant word of encouragement.” Ironically, despite his constant presence and helping hand to both officers and members of RI, not many of his fellow Rotarians and friends were aware of his
extraordinary life and times. PDG Doring was born February 20, 1937 in Cebu City. He hails from the Ilustrado Abellanosa-Labis clan of Pardo, Cebu where his great grandfather Cabeza Juan donated a large tract of land for the historic El Pardo church which today is a tourist destination. Since they lived next door, his mother encouraged him to serve the church as a bell ringer, altar boy, catechist and the apostle James during Lenten season plays. Youngest of three surviving children, he was only four years old when the Second World War broke. When his father died during the war, Doring grew up doing odd jobs to augment the family income like selling newspapers, shining shoes and raising hogs, goats and chickens to support his college education. He was graduated with an Associate in Arts degree in Bachelor of Science in Commerce, Banking and Finance on March, 1959 at the University of the Visayas. The school’s graduation speaker was Pres. Ramon Magsaysay, who perished in the plane crash on the way home to Manila. He was active in the Reserve Officers Training Course (ROTC) where he attended the Platoon Leader Course, Camp Lapulapu, Cebu City; Army Extension C o u r s e , F o r t Wi l l i a m McKinley eventually being commissioned coincidentally on the same month as his

The core mission of every school is to optimize its main stakeholders - the students, through providing a rich learning environment that is open, respectful, caring and safe. In article published under Learning and Well-being Framework of Queensland Government, this kind of environment reflects the purpose behind the existence of a school, which is basically to promote quality kind of learning. In addition, such learning environment makes each moment at school an exciting, stimulating and welcoming place for the students. In giving such learning environment, school administration show concern to their stakeholders through, for one, developing and communicating an explicit commitment. In doing so, true service will be easily identified. This concern could also be done on acknowledging individual differences and
providing opportunities for all students to learn and succeed. Each member of the school have differences, perhaps in terms of economic status, attitude, religion and others. Amidst of all these, each one must enjoy equal rights and equal opportunities. For an instance is ensuring that students have opportunities to participate in school’s decision-making processes. This kind of environment could also be seen in school’s effort in applying consistent school-wide rules and consequences, providing that these are collaboratively developed with students and the school community, clearly explained, positively enforced, rewarding of good behaviour, providing pastoral care for students and maintaining a physical space. Learning is a complex matter. Thus, there are attributes that a learning environment should contain in order for the students to fully achieve high quality of learning.

Reopen... from page 1
Misamis Oriental Rep. Juliette Uy (1st district), in her letter addressed to Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya dated January 29, 2014, said there is a need to reopen the old Cagayan de Oro airport for commercial flights “as the Laguindingan Airport is not yet at par with international standards due to the absence of air navigational facilities, which are very essential to the airport’s operations.” The national government opened the new airport on June 15 last year despite fears that the lack of necessary equipment could only exacerbate further losses for the business sector. Airline companies reported at least P228 million revenue losses over a period of 12 days last month due to flight cancellations caused by inclement weather condition in the region. “We believe that since this has not been immediately acted upon by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), flight cancellations due to simple rain or cloudiness have become the norm at the Laguindingan facility,” Uy said. The Misamis Oriental lawmaker noted how the Laguindingan Airport has been derisively dubbed by the public as “Di-Malandingan Airport,” meaning an airport that is unsafe for landing planes due to its poor facilities. Among those most affected by the problematic airport are overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and businessmen from Region 10, who often miss their connecting flights due to flight cancellations. “That could have been prevented if the Laguindingan Airport was opened complete with the navigational facilities needed by an airport facility,” Uy pointed out. “It is of major concern to local businesses that cancelled flights
always result to tremendous losses in the local economy. Flight cancellations severely limit the influx of tourists and investors in Misamis Oriental and other affected cities and provinces as well as the revenues of affected airline companies, hotels, restaurants and passengers,” she added. Uy said the recent typhoon Agaton has magnified the unreadiness of the Laguindingan facilty. “This just shows that the facility has no VHF Omni-Directional Range Navigation System, a Meteorological Observing System and a Precision Lighting System,” she said. “What the DOTC should do is reopen the Lumbia Airport for commercial flights until such time that the Laguindingan Airport is fully operational. This will address the problems faced by all airline passengers, and local businesses of Misamis Oriental and Region 10 due to the rushed opening of the Laguiningan facility,” Uy added.

The DOE official said that its office is working in close collaboration with the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) to achieve better synergy of efforts, noting that, “the Mindanao 2020 strategies are consistent with what we have developed in the energy plan.” The energy department also recommended that Mindanao 2020 integrate an intermodal mass transport system, adding or improving existing airports to increase mobility in the island and cater to the influx of visitors, all of which will require energy.

Mindanao Development Corridors is designed to strengthen Mindanao’s competitiveness by increasing the efficiency of industries and its value chain to create more jobs and foster inclusive economic growth. The framework builds on existing regional and local plans but strengthens these with the complementation with other corridors in the island region. “We need to be ready for structural change. With the increase in power demand in Mindanao, we need to consider all possible sources of energy, preferably indigenous,” said Tamang, citing Mindanao’s high capacity for alternative fuels. He said DoE is seeking the support of the local leaders to achieve energy sufficiency by identifying renewable energy sources within their respective areas, as oil and other forms of energy are needed to provide for the still growing requirements of transport and mobility in the region. “We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with DOE on this very important undertaking for Mindanao,” said Dir. Romeo Montenegro of MinDA Investment Promotion and Public Affairs. He added that part of the goals of the regional consultation was to seek stakeholder support on the identified immediate measures to the current power supply shortfall that caused intermittent brownouts in parts of Mindanao. Montenegro also stressed that MinDA supports the development of renewable energy (RE) sources, consistent with the Mindanao 2020 strategy on diversification of energy mix, with premium of RE technology. “We are pushing for more investments in renewable energy projects, particularly hydro, biomass and solar to keep our ideal 50-50 energy mix of RE and fossil-fuel power source by 2030,” he added. DoE spearheads the MEP public consultation in collaboration with MinDA, which
co-chairs the Mindanao Power Coordination Committee (MPMC). The first consultation draw over 200 power stakeholders and other multi-sectoral representatives who gave their inputs and recommendations on the formulation of the Mindanao energy plan, which is one of the recommendations during the Mindanao Power Summit in April 2012. Similar public consultations will be held in Davao, Gen. Santos, Zamboanga, and Butuan to provide the context and highlights of the MEP and generate inputs from power stakeholders.
Growth...
from page 1 This makes Filipinos to be optimistic as the country continues on an upward trajectory even with the devastation caused by Typhoon Yolanda affecting the first quarter growth this year. Also, the visit of the Right Honorable William Hague MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs of the United Kingdom, strengthens the country’s confidence as it strives for a better economic growth this year. In meeting the President, the Vice President, as well as the Foreign Affairs Secretary, Secretary Hague renewed his government’s commitment in the reconstruction program for Yolanda-affected communities. The UK is one of the countries that extended the most assistance to the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Yolanda. Secretary Hague also met with prominent members of the business community to discuss how to further expand partnerships between the Philippines and British companies. “These events represent even more cause for optimism—even greater strides—as we tread the path towards inclusiveness and prosperity,” Valte said in the statement.

Risk...
from page 2 their nutrition status and risk of obesity. The study conducted among children in Crete showed that high intake of sugar-added beverages was associated with poor eating habits and inadequate nutrition intake, as well as increased risk for developing childhood obesity. In the Philippines, the FNRIDOST in 2012 studied the pattern of beverage consumption across different population groups and examined the association between consumption of
selected beverages and nutrition status using data from the 7th Nutritional National Survey (NNS) conducted by the Institute. It was noted that there was high intake of soft drinks and coffee across the Filipino population, and decreased intake of milk throughout childhood to adulthood. High soft drinks and coffee consumption, or sugar-added beverages can pose a great risk to over-nutrition and obesity, as verified by the previous studies cited earlier about the association of sugar-added beverages and nutritional status. Awareness on the potential health risk of high intakes of sugar-added beverages can be beneficial to conquer the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity in the country. With education on recommended amounts of sugars and sugar exchanges through health and nutrition campaigns, the Filipino population can choose healthier food options. Also, policies and regulations on the availability of sugar-added beverages, especially in schools, must be reviewed to help avoid childhood obesity.
