“We are studying [these] ports whether or not to include them in the PPP initiative. If it is not viable to include them in the PPP list, we will finance the portdevelopment projects,” Juan Sta. Ana, Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) general manager, said. The deal, however, has yet to be approved by the National Economic and Development Authority Investment Coordination Committee.

Sta. Ana said the PPA hired two consultants to conduct the feasibility study for the privatization of the port. The two consultancy firms have submitted their respective findings and recommendations to the port body. “We are busy harmonizing the results to come up with a win-win solution on how to carry out the privatization to pave the way for the modernization of Sasa ports/PAGE 9

P289-M infra projects up for Normin By Philippines News Agency

THE national government is setting aside P289 million for infrastructure projects in the Kalabugao Plain, the triboundary of the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon, and Agusan Del Sur, a senior local government official said Tuesday. Rene K. Burdeos, regional director of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) in Region 10, said that the Kalabugao Plain has seven

barangays and a total land area of about 51,000 hectares. He said that a provincial road that would traverse t h e D a m ay - K a l a b u g a o lines in Bukidnon would be constructed in the area in 2015. The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) has committed the amount for the road project in the Kalabugao Plain, Burdeos said. He said that the

development of the Kalabugao Plain is important because it affects other parts of Mindanao. “The bulk of the flood waters in t he cities of Gingoog, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, and Cotabato usually originate from the Kalabugao Plain, home of the Higaonon tribes and a strategic watershed area of Pulangi River,” he said.

Mines, geosciences bureau reiterares Davao City eyes development LGU’s roles on finding relocation sites of Japanese heritage sites By RUTCHIE CABAHUG-AGUHOB, Contributor

OZ AMIZ City – L o cal government units (LGU’s) in every province, city and municipality are responsible

for finding the possible relocation sites in areas highly susceptible to either landslide or flood.

This was clarified by Engr. Osin Sinsuat, officerin-charge (OIC)-chief, Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB), region 10, during the Media Advocacy and Write Shop for Broadcasters’ Manual on Climate Change held at Midway White Beach, Initao, Misamis Oriental, last July 9-11. Participated by radio bro a d c a s t e r s f rom t h e different radio/TV outlets of the region, the activity was sponsored by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), region 10. Meanwhile, Sinsuat said MGB only conducts the geological assessment to determine whether or not the identified relocation sites are fit for human habitation, as provided in Republic Act No. 10121 or the “Philippine Risk

Reduction and Management Act of 2010.” In the assessment, the MGB conducts mapping in a certain municipality and studies the susceptibility of the LGU’s to landslide, flood and coastal erosion, aided by the Global Positioning System (GPS) for accuracy of location. Results of the geohazards mapping and assessment, with the advisories, executive summar y and m ap s are i m m e d i at e l y presented to the concerned LGU’s for information and dissemination, as they are responsible for setting the direction, development, implementation and coordination of disaster risk management programs in their respective areas.

DAVAO City -- The City Government of Davao is eyeing the development of Japanese heritage sites in efforts to entice more Japanese visitors in the City. Lisette Marques, City Tourism Officer said they are planning to reconstruct heritage sites like monuments particularly in Barangay Mintal, with the city trying to source the funds from TIEZA (Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority) to which they are submitting the proposal. Among t he proj e c ts include cultural-historical mapping of Japanese heritage sites and restorations of these monuments and relics. The identified flagbearer of the project is barangay Mintal which was the site of a pre-war Japanese settlement. Among identified relics included a Japanese-made artesian well, irrigation

canal, remnants of a Japanese hospital, Japanese cemetery and a monument. According to Barangay Mi nt a l c apt ai n R amon Bargamento, the proposal to TIEZA will include the rehabilitation of monument sites, the construction of a Japanese museum and rehabilitation of the Japanese cemetery. The proposal known as the Barangay Mintal Little Tokyo Japanese Heritage Site project will need about P50-million to P100-million grant. Marques said the city is supportive of the efforts considering that 13,000 Jap anes e v isit t he cit y annually. “If we want to create traffic of people to Davao we need to enhance sites such as these.” Marques said.

World Bank plans $62-M rehab DA-12 targets 4.2-M metric tons rice production in 3 yrs aid for Yolanda farm areas T H E Wo r l d B a n k o n Tuesday announced that it would provide $62-million in aid for farming areas devastated by Typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan). In a statement issued on the first of a 2-day Philippine visit by its president Jim Yong Kim, the multilateral lender said the financial assistance would be endorsed to the bank’s board of directors next month. The proceeds of the aid would be used to repair

230 kilometers of farm-tomarket roads, as well as to boost incomes of farmers and fishermen in typhoondevastated areas. “I am here to reaffirm the World Bank Group’s support for the courageous Filipinos who are rebuilding from the ruins of Typhoon Haiyan,” said Kim, who on his first day in the Philippines visited typhoon-hit areas in Leyte. “While much more can be done and needs to be done, I am encouraged to see the government, civil

society, private sector, and local communities rebuilding access roads, irrigation facilities, shelters and schools for those affected by the disaster in Palo and Tanauan in Leyte,” he said. “The poor are disproportionately affected by disasters and are the least able to cope. If we don’t build resilience to climate change and natural disasters, we won’t end poverty,” he added. The $62-million aid w ou l d for m p ar t of a $508.25-million fund

under the Philippine Rural Development Project. The lender had committed $1 billion in aid for typhoonhit areas. The World Bank board recently endorsed a new partnership strategy for the Philippines that includes $3.2 billion in aid for 4 years. Kim’s 2-day visit includes a meeting with President Benigno Aquino III, as well as a dialogue with the youth on climate change, which InterAksyon.com will live stream.

DA-12 evaluates soil condition of local farms KIDAPAWAN City -- In an effort to help address the insufficient supply of Filipino staple, the Department of Ag r i c u lt u re i n t h e SOCCSKSARGEN region on Tuesday announced it aims to produce more than 4.2 million metric tons (MT) of rice in the next three years. ” This is part of the government’s pledge to attain rice self-sufficiency,” Amalia Jayag-Datukan, DA 12’s regional executive director, said in a statement. She said the regional office is shooting a target of producing 4,266,619 MT from 2014 to 2016.

“The region aspires to increase rice production in the next three years starting off at 1,393,137 MMT for 2014 while aiming 1,415,282 MMT for 2015. In 2016, DA-12 which covers the provinces of North and South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat and Saranggani will aim for 1,458,200 MMT, Datukan said. To achieve this, she said Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala already mandated the DA to expand the area harvested for rice and to increase the yield per hectare to achieve rice self-sufficiency. “We will also maximize

the provision of pre-harvest and post-harvest facilities to our farmer groups for them to hasten their farming activities and later achieve higher rice production because postharvest losses are lessened,” she added. The Bureau of Agricultural S t a t i s t i c s ( BA S ) i n a report released recently, said rice production of SOCCSKSARGEN Region for the first quarter of 2014 was 399,120 metric tons harvested from more than 103,000 hectares which recorded an average yield of 3.84MT per hectare. L a s t y e a r ,

SO CCSKSARGEN, also known as Region 12, managed to produce 1.3 MT, which translates to a 129 percent rice self-sufficiency. E arl i e r t h i s mont h , Agriculture Assistant Secretary and National Rice Program director Edilberto de Luna announced that the national government targets to produce 60 million metric tons of rice from 2014 to 2016. Datukan said she was confident farmers groups, with the ample support provided by her office, could even surpass the DA projected production target. (PNA)

GENERAL Santos City -- In a bid to improve the region’s agricultural productivity, the Department of Agriculture (DA) in Region 12 has launched a comprehensive ass essment of t he s oi l condition of local farm areas. Amalia Jayag-Datukan, DA Region 12 director, said Tuesday the initiative mainly aims to determine the actual status and composition of the ground soil of the area’s farmlands, especially those catering to major crops like palay and corn. She said the results of the assessment or analysis will ensure the proper setting of interventions for specific farm areas. “Through the assessment, we would be able to determine the soil’s deficiencies and immediately act on them,” she said. The official said the assessment initially started earlier this month in palay production areas in Sto. Nino town in South Cotabato.

The activity was facilitated by personnel assigned with the agency’s Soils Mobile Clinic, she said. Engr. Nadia Gayanandang, Soils Mobile Clinic head, said they have so far analyzed soil samples randomly collected from the municipality’s 10 barangays. She said they specifically covered around 5,400 hectares of the area’s palay or rice production areas. Citing results of their assessment, she said the soil samples from the area have turned out to be Nitrogendeficient. To a d d r e s s t h i s , Gayanandang said they advised local rice farmers to apply fertilizers that are rich in Nitrogen like Bio-N. Bio-N or Bio-Nitrogen is an organic or microbial inoculant fertilizer that is used for rice, corn and other agricultural crops. It haste ns b e tte r consumption of nitrogen by da/PAGE 11

Banking&Finance

Investment banking revenue in Asia surges HONG KONG – In Asia, investment banking is perking up. Helped by a surge in appetite from US investors for Chinese listings and for US dollar-denominated bonds sold by Asian companies, total investment-banking revenue for the Asian-Pacific region, excluding Japan, rose to their highest level since the second half of 2012. A rush of mergers and acquisitions have added to the improved performance with deals such as Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp.’s $5 billion purchase of Hong Kong’s Wing Hang Bank among the headline grabbers. Inv e s t m e nt - b a n k i n g revenue in the first six months of the year rose to almost $5 billion from $4.6 billion for the same period last year, an increase of 9%, according to data provider Dealogic. It is the highest first-half reading since 2011. Including Japan, which is normally viewed as a separate investment-banking market, total revenue in the AsianPacific region fell amid a fading afterglow from the country’s ultra-loose fiscal and monetary policies. At the midpoint of the year, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. leads the league tables for revenue generated from advising companies in the Asian-Pacific region outside Japan, ahead of rival UBS AG. When Japan is included, Morgan Stanley heads the league tables. The biggest boost for

banks came from the business of underwriting new shares, or equity capital markets, with revenue soaring 57% between January and June compared with a year earlier. Chinese technolog y companies drove a burst of share offerings led by a $1.8 billion New York listing by online retailer JD.com Inc. Bankers say revenue from Asian companies selling shares in the US is also shared by the investment banks in the region. The pickup in deal flow is buoying confidence for the remainder of the year. “The equity theme linked to China has real legs to it and will continue, ” said Dieter Turowski, co-head of investment banking, Asia Pacific, at Morgan Stanley.

Selling shares is typically the single-biggest money e a r n e r f o r i nv e s t m e nt banks due to the juicy fees on offer, which bankers say can sometimes be up to 3% of the total offering in Hong Kong–one of the region’s biggest IPO venues–and up+ to 7% for a US listing. In the first half of the year in the Asian-Pacific region, excluding Japan, share sales accounted for almost $2 billion in revenue compared with $798 million for mergers and acquisitions, according to Dealogic. There was brisk business in the debt market, too. Asian borrowers flocked to sell US dollar bonds as global interest rates remained at historical lows, attracting Western investors who are chasing

higher yields than those on offer in their home markets. Demand from US investors was especially strong. The biggest push came from Chinese and South Korean companies which together issued a record amount of bonds in the year to date, according to Dealogic. China Petrochemical Corp., parent of the country’s largest oil refiner, sold $5 billion in the region’s largest dollar bond sale in more than a decade. Governments also got in on the act with finance ministries from Indonesia to Sri Lanka taking advantage of upbeat market sentiment to raise cash. Indonesia raised $4 billion by selling the biggestever sovereign dollar bond revenue/PAGE 11

Getting a home mortgage, car loan now more difficult BANKS TIGHTENED consumer lending standards in t he s e cond quar ter, particularly for home mortgages and commercial real estate loans, amid stricter oversight, a survey conducted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) showed. Results of its Senior Bank Loan Officers’ Survey for the April to June period, the BSP said, showed a “net tightening of overall credit standards” for housing loans for a second survey round. “ [ B ] as e d on t he DI [diffusion index] approach, a net tightening of overall credit standards was noted

for commercial real estate loans for the 8th consecutive quarter in Q2 2014,” the BSP added. The Senior Bank Loan Officers’ Survey is a quarterly poll the central bank has been conducting since 2009 to enhance the understanding of credit behavior in the country. Thirty-one commercial banks participated in the secondquarter survey. One method the central bank has been using in the survey is the diffusion index (DI), whereby a positive nu mb e r i n d i c ate s t h at the proportion of banks that have tightened their

credit standards are greater compared to those that eased. “The net tightening of overall credit standards for commercial real estate loans was attributed by respondent banks to stricter oversight of banks’ real estate exposure along with banks’ reduced tolerance for risk,” the BSP said in a statement released on Friday. The central bank has been implementing a series of measures increasing scrutiny over lenders’ exposure to the property market, with the definition of coverage broadened to not just direct mortgage/PAGE 11

In a study done by a research group American Psychological Association, bullying could happen to anyone regardless of his grade level, socio-economic status, gender, religion or sexual orientation. This improper practice could cause long term impact to both bullied person and bullies. Bullied person could feel depression and anxiety as a result of being a victim of bullies. There is also big possibility of increased

feelings of sadness and loneliness, that would result to changes in sleep and eating patterns and loss of interest in doing things he used to be interested at. To bullies, on the other hand, the effect of bullying to him may worsen up to having violent and other risky behaviors until in his adulthood. Eventually, he could involve himself into alcohol abuse, fights, vandalizing proper ties, s cho ol drop out, e arly sexual activity engagement, criminal convictions and traffic citations. As adult, he could be also harmful to his romantic partners, spouse or children. Education department plays a big role in preventing

bullying activities in schools that are threat to children in all levels. Bullying is a serious problem that should be address soonest as possible. S c h o o l a d m i n i s t r at i on should conduct intervention programs and prevention strategies. It is better to stop bullies before they start. This bullying activity is a threat to the mental, emotional and physical health of the students. It could also be a haze blocking them to attain and enjoy a good future because it impact not just the character of the student in the present but also him as himself in the future. Thus, it is very important to save bullies and bullied ones through stoppage strategies.

Don’t be Crabby

T

hink a minute…Crabs are very interesting creatures. If you put several of them in a bucket, the moment one of them starts crawling out of the bucket, the other crabs will pull him back down. So not one of the crabs ever succeeds in getting out. They just keep stopping each other from climbing higher than the rest of them. We humans are perhaps more like crabs than we think. We see a good thing the minute someone else sees it first! “We try to get even with our enemies, and ahead of our friends.” But we need to realize that “when we’re green with envy, we’re ripe for problems.” Whether we admit it or not, most of us want other people to be just a little less successful than we are. Friends are always happy about your success, just as long as you’re not more successful than they are! But one of the first secrets to success is not to compare your life with other’s. It’s strange that many of us seem to know how to live everybody else’s lives but our own. Yet what happens in someone else’s life has nothing to do with ours. “Criticizing someone else’s garden won’t keep the weeds out of your own.” Successful people look at life through a telescope and see how great it can be, but

A Minute

Hail the ASEAN Integration

T

he integration of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) E c on om i c C om mu n it y (AEC)), would give local businesses more opportunities for regional expansion and productivity enhancement. Wit h its realization, the business sector can now engage more in int ra-reg iona l trade, increase their market access within and outside of ASEAN, and expand their production capacities. The Philippines would greatly benefit, according to analysts since it is a major producer of palm products such as rubber, coconut, abaca, pineapple and mango products, and rice. It is now considered an ideal investment site and regional production hub due to Asean integration. As a major Asean player, RP becomes a member of the more dynamic economic bloc attractive to the rest of

editorial the rest of the world. Asean region with a large number of consumers of about 600 million people, has a combined Gross Domestic Product of US$2.2 trillion and lib era lize d t ar if fs. Investors and producers of goods and services have more opportunities and are expected move easier their goods, services, investment, capital, and labor. NEDA cited a report f rom the United States I n t e r n a t i o n a l Tr a d e Commission (USITC) on t he t r a d e p e r for manc e of the ASEAN over the years, noting the region’s outward orient ation in trade and investment that led to international trade, growth, and development. The Philippines has already set its key strategies towards

AEC integration in 2015, all outlined in the Midterm Update of the Philippine Development Plan 20112016. These strategies are aimed at building credible institutions, equalizing development opportunities, creating new growth drivers, and accelerating infrastructure development. The 10 ASEAN member countries — Brunei Darussalam, the Kingdom of Cambodia, the Republic of Indonesia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, the Union of Myanmar, the Republic of t he Philippines, t he Republic of Singapore, the Kingdom of Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. envision a single market and production base, a highly competitive

economic region, equitable economic development, and a region fully integrated into the global economy. Human res ources development and capacity building; recognition of professional qualifications; cl o s e r c onsu lt at i on on macroeconomic and financial policies; trade financing measures; enhanced infrastructure and communications connectivity; development of electronic transactions through e-ASEAN; integrating industries around the region to promote reg iona l s ourcing; and enhancing private sector involvement are AEC’s areas of cooperation. Hopefully, AEC will transform ASEAN into a region with free movement of goods, services, investment, skilled labor, and freer flow of capital to sustain the economic growth of our nation.

Your Marketing Plan is More Important than Your Business Plan

M

arketing is the heart of your business. And a marketing plan is more important than your business plan - because marketing is what brings in customers. When you’re in start-up, you need to perfect your marketing plan first. Then, once you know you have a viable product or service that will sell, expand to create your business plan. Here are the elements of a successful marketing plan: 1. Know Your Market. Understand who you’re selling to. Know their demographics, psychographics, and buying patterns. Know where they hang out, what they like to do,

and where they like to shop. The more you know about them, the more successfully you’ll be able to speak to them. 2. Know Your Competition. Do your research. Understand who your main competitors are. Find out their pricepoints and what makes them successful. 3. Know Your Unique Selling Proposition. Once you know the market and the competitive landscape, you’re in a position to create a killer Unique Selling Proposition (USP) that differentiates you from the pack. Give your target market a clear, compelling reason to choose

you instead of someone else. 4. Know Your Message. Armed with your USP and your knowledge of your target market, create marketing messaging that is designed to highlight the specific benefits your prospective customers will reap from doing business with you. The better you can speak to your customers’ needs, the faster your business will grow. 5. Know Your Metrics. How are you going to measure the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns? Be sure to create ways to test and track the response you get from different ads and other marketing endeavors so

an entrepreneur’s road map to success

By BOB BARE

you can keep what’s profitable and toss the rest. 6. Know Your Budget. Your marketing plan should create a budget so you know what you can spend and when on your marketing efforts.

Society’s Handicapped and Social Weaklings small, petty people look at life through a microscope and only see the faults and mistakes of others. Being envious and jealous of others is just a slow method of suicide that kills both your health and happiness. You have a special ability and personality that no one else has. So use yours the best way possible. Stop comparing yourself with others. Birds don’t swim. Fish don’t climb trees. And cows don’t fly. Enjoy your own natural abilities and develop your own style. Make the most of your assets and you’ll make the most of your life. But only your Maker has the key to unlock your full potential inside. So why not ask Him to take charge of your life every day? It’s with His power you can start enjoying the success He’s planned for you to have. Just Think a Minute…

R

efusal and compassion characterize society’s attitude as regards social weaklings and handicapped people. It’s a topic which one gladly drives out, represses or tries to forget. I have written about it several t imes, a lt houg h I have missed more about that topic. Even in different groups, some segments of society are distant from them. The socially discriminated and handicapped people don’t correspond to performance, work, capacity, stress and competition in our aily surroundings. Opinions like these - well, that’s how people do it. The anti-social slum inhabitant has not accepted

his responsibility, and the a nt i - s o c i a l c o n f i d e n c e t r ickste r, ce r t ain ly not blind and without having difficulty walking, doesn’t believe in us. That’s it! Finished! The bobom the alcoholic, the without means gentleman of the road - so what! Did everybody not choose his own living condition? In plain words: the ideals of success, ability, efficiency and comp etitiveness in our performance-oriented society and its business life describe such fringe groups as “standard violators”, such as in failure, flop or sacker. But remember: a tax evasion is more costly than a social welfare client. Do you have a social

weakling or handicapped people in your surroundings - in your company? Honestly but tr ue: hindrance and handicap drive into poverty many times. Prevailing opinion is that poverty is going for a fault. The affected people draw back themselves with a sensible sense of shame. Most handicapped people feel isolated in their surroundings. Meeting them becomes a bashful situation sometimes, while giving the appearance of normality. This must not be! I really plead for more integration. Let’s give “such people” autonomies and acceptance starting in pre school and kindergarten yet. Let’s increase more liveable

Wharf, the country’s major port for banana exports,” he said. Cu r re nt l y, on l y t h e P17.46-billion Davao Sasa Port Development Project is under the supervision of the PPA. Among the Mindanao ports that would be privatized through the PPP include Zamboanga, and General Santos. The Davao Port has a capacity of 700,000 twentyfoot equivalent units (TEUs), but PPA forecast volumes to increase to 1.2 million TEUs in the next 5 years. The Davao Integrated Port Stevedoring Service Corp, a unit of International Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI), is the lone cargo handler at Davao Port. The Davao Sasa Wharf is the country’s major port for bananas, one of its biggest exports products. According to the PPP Center, the P17.46 billion development of the Davao Sasa Port into an international-standard container terminal is set for approval by the Investment Coordinating Committee of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA-ICC). Meanwhile, data from the state-owned port body showed that its profits plunged in the first five months of the year due to a significant drop in one of its revenue streams. But despite falling short from last year’s print, the port body still exceeded its targets. Net income dipped by 13.26 percent to P2.303 billion in the five months to May from P2.655 billion in the same period last year, driven largely by a drop in its fund management income (FMI). Gross revenues slid by 1.08 percent to P4.616 billion, from P4.666 billion, while port revenues rose by 25 percent to P4.586 billion versus the P3.67 billion booked last year. FMI significantly sank by 31 percent to P30.61 million from P44.2 million posted last year due to the increased operational spending resulting to lesser funds available for use in short-term investments.

Rice... from page 1

According to figures gathered by the DA-10’s Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Division (AMAD), the average price of regular milled rice rose 20.5 percent for the first six months of 2014 to P37.81 per kilo compared to only P31.38 for the same period last year. The average price for premium rice increased 19.83% over the same period from P40.03/ kg. to P47.97/kg. Well-milled rice also rose 17.47% from P36.64/kg. to P43.04/kg. over the same period. However, for January to June 2014, the

increase recorded was only 2.17% from P37.19 (January) to P38 (June) per kg. for regular milled rice.” “We do monitoring of rice prices twice a week throughout the region,” Ms. Hojas said. “So we don’t really have a big increase in prices for 2014 because we have enough supply. If indeed there is increase in price even with enough supply, somehow, somewhere, some people may be manipulating.” Speaking in the same forum, Information Officer Celeste Gaabucayan of the National Food Authority Region X said the rise in prices could also be attributed to the milling and other costs traders incurred and inputted into their retail prices. “When they buy palay at P22 per kilo, traders incur expenses such as milling and labor to convert it into edible rice,” she explained. “In order to break even, they have to price their milled rice at PhP 44/kg. and add two pesos profit margin and that’s how you have PhP 46/ kg. retail price for premium rice.” “Similarly, when NFA buys palay at P17/kg. it has to price at P34/kg. to break even. So when NFA sells it at P32/kg. it is subsidized,” she added. “However, since June 30 NFA outlets were directed to start retailing regular milled rice to marginalized poor at P27/ kg. which is also available to better off buyers who want to buy it.” Gaabucayan said NFA-10 has increased the allocation for NFA outlets in the city up to 100 bags a day to address the situation. The agency has two outlets each in Agora and Puerto, and one each in Cogon and Carmen markets. In addition, it has rolling stores roving the barangays selling NFA rice at PhP 27/ kg. for targeted beneficiaries in partnership with DSWD. The rise in retail prices followed the rise in the average farm gate price of palay which rose to P18.27/ kg. for the first quarter of 2014, up from P15.06 over the same period last year. Figures from the PSABAS X presented by NEDA during the forum show palay production for the first quarter increasing 22.79% from 143,179 metric tons (M.T.) to 175,809MT. As a result, net rice production available for consumption against the clean rice requirement also increased the region’s rice sufficiency level for the 1st quarter to 76.89% compared to only 64.93% over the same period last year, using the same per capita consumption figure of 115.7 kgs. versus the region’s 2014 estimated population of 4,508,166. The region’s total rice stocks of 2,256,383 bags as of 01 March 2014 as monitored by NFA-X was 91.3 percent higher than the total monitored over the same period last year, and was estimated to last 84 days based on the region’s daily rice consumption of around

26,820 bags. Prices were apparently also stabilized by the increase in the inflow of rice from outside the region compared to outflows for the 1st quarter of the year. Rice inflows/outflows monitored by the AMAD showed rice inflows increasing to 5,107.5MT compared to only 3,487.95MT over the same period last year, for a 1,619.55MT increase or 46.4%. Some 96% of rice imports to the region came from Manila and Cebu in 2013, while 92.3% were accounted for by Iloilo in 2014. On the other hand, rice outf lows dropped from 4,326.40MT in 2013 to only 1,279.MT in 2014, a steep 70.4% decrease. Some 2,800MT of the rice outflows (64.7%) in 2013 were shipped to Tacloban for victims of Typhoon Yolanda, while the bulk (94.75%) in the first quarter of 2014 was shipped to Cebu.

approximately 25 percent of Mindanao’s power needs and the main water source of Bukidnon both for drinking and irrigation. The development of the Kalabugao Plain would also benefit the indigenous people, the most vulnerable target of the insurgency movement in the region, because of the feeling that the government has not taken care of them, Burdeos said. For the project known as the Peace and Development C o nv e r g e n c e P r o g r a m for Kalabugao Plain, the Technical Working Group (T WG) of the Regional Peace and Order Council in Region 10 (RPOC-10) has conceptualized the program aimed to develop Kalabugao Plain into an economically, e n v i r o n m e n t a l l y, a n d culturally developed community. Based on the existing

Ancestral Domain Sustainable Protection Plan and Barangay Development Plans (BDP), the project has identified various sectors which the convergence intends to be developed. One is the economic sector where livelihood, organic agriculture production, agro forestry, irrigation canal, animal dispersal, fisheries, or fishponds among others, are seen to provide sustainable i n c o m e t o c o m mu n it y members. Second is the environment s e c t o r. Un d e r t h i s classification would be the purchase of land for farmers, establishment of barangay nursery, maintenance of crops, medicine for animals, and rejuvenation of coffee production and others. There is also a proposed greening program or reforestation, landfill for solid waste, tree growing and greening program, est ablishment of dump site, and eco-tourism and community awareness of environmental protection. This project also aims to preser ve Pulangi and Kalabugao River by regulating fishing activities, reforestation along watershed areas and barangay water source, assist natural regeneration (ANR) and National Greening Program (NGP), develop eco-tourism along Pulangi River and the preservation of the Philippine Eagle. T WG h a s re c e nt ly revisited Kalabugao Plain as an affirmation of the government’s commitments to the Peace and Development Convergence Program to spur further action from various stakeholders, Burdeos said.

Budget Secretary Butch Abad. He is fueling the people’s disgust and may very well be asking to be impeached or even ousted by refusing to take accountability for his illegal disbursements under DAP,” Gabriela Rep. Luz

Ilagan said in a statement. Ilagan added Aquino’s defense of the DAP was also a declaration of war on Filipino people calling for a c c ou nt abi l it y and transparency. “The Supreme Court’s decision is clear. President Aquino seized control of public funds and appropriated them to projects according to his personal discretion, usurping the powers of C ongress to determine government spending and creating a fiscal dictatorship in the process. There is no way that the President can escape accountability,” she said. For her par t, fellow Gabriela Rep. Emmi de Jesus refuted Aquino’s claims the DAP projects benefited the people. “Aquino claims that DAP funded electrification projects and created classrooms but we are now struggling with rotating brownouts, and children remain cramped in overcrowded classrooms,” de Jesus said. In a separate statement, B ay a n Mu n a R e p. Ne r i C olmenares also called Aquino’s speech a declaration of war on the high court. “His use of Section 39

9

of the 1987 Administration Code is not even right because the section pertains to savings. The Supreme Court said that DAP was not savings therefore Section 39 does not apply. Also a mere administration code cannot trump the Constitution,” Colmenares pointed out. “ The Supreme Court was right in declaring the DAP unconstitutional and it should uphold its decision even if Malacanang files a motion for reconsideration. It is through the DAP that Pres. Aquino usurped the power of Congress and it transformed the budget into his presidential pork. DAP is pork barrel and it must be abolished,” he said. A n a kb ay an l i ke w i s e hit Aquino for allegedly b e l itt l i n g t h e p e op l e’s capacity to understand the DAP issue. It said the administration claimed good faith but used amounts from the DAP to bribe lawmakers to impeach former Chief Justice Renato Corona. It added that P2 billion went to Tarlac, Aquino’s home province, and P425 million to Janet Napoles, the alleged mastermind in the pork barrel fund scam.

Huawei launches

brand shop in CdeO

K

agay-anons now have unlimited access to the latest in Huawei technology at the Huawei Brand Shop, located at the third floor of Ayala Centrio Mall, Cagayan de Oro City. Designed to be highly experiential, the shop is characterized by a premium, clean and comfortable feel and look. Interactive areas are incorporated in the store as well to help shoppers discover and try the new devices at their own pace. “We want our customer’s experience with shopping to be highly personal. And this can only be done by letting them experience everything that our products can offer to help them with whatever they need,” said Charles Wu, Huawei Device Philippines country manager.” This is about helping our customers find better technological options suited to their lifestyle which they can acquire at affordable prices without compromise.” The Huawei Brand Shop in Ayala Centrio is the first among many others planned outside Metro Manila. The first two brand stores are in SM North EDSA and SM Megamall, both of which opened two months ago. “Our brand shops aspire to be the forefront of mobile devices, bringing our customers nothing but the latest,” Wu said.

The highlight in the store is the recently-launched Huawei Ascend P7, the brand’s flagship smartphone. Offering better connectivity, the Ascend P7 features a powerful combination of 4G LTE and dual antenna which allows users to enjoy unlimited media viewing and fast download speeds of up to 150Mbps. “I love surfing the internet and downloading videos and e-books straight to my phone. So far the Ascend P7 never fails me. The download speed is fast and I am assured of a stable connection everywhere I go,” Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Huawei Device Philippines ambassador said. The ascend P7 comes with a robust 2500 mAh lithium polymer battery and a proprietary battery-saving technology, along for longer phone usage. The smartphone also has a smart networking switching technology which stabilizes the connection even with weak signal reception to minimize battery drainage. Redefining smartphone photography, the Ascend P7 comes with a powerful camera and lens-an 8MP 5P nonspherical lens front-facing camera and a 13MP rear camera. The front camera is designed especially for taking better selfies or groufies. Equipped with a panorama function, the smartphone gives

the user more frame space to include a breathtaking view in the background or more friends in the groufie. Only 6.5mm thick and weighing just 123g, the five-inch full HD phone stands out with a sleek, sophisticated metallic appearance. Ascend P7 redefines smartphone craftsmanship standards. The phone’s unique micro-pattern design is the result of a seven-layered rear surface treatment, a first for all smartphones. After the store’s ribbon-cutting and blessing, Jasmine Curtis-Smith met with her fans through Huawei’s Meet-andClick. Each went home with a photo of them posing for the camera with Jasmine Curtis-Smith. For regular updates on Huawei Device, please visit:

About 180 students from Capitol University and guests from other schools attended the seminar. Career opportunities in real estate in the country and abroad were presented to the students during the seminar. Participants also learned about the techniques on how to respond to an increasingly global market of Philippine buyers and sellers. National Real Estate Association (NREA) chairman Alejandro Mañalac, who was one of the guest speakers at the event, lauded CUAA for organizing the seminar. “It was a very good initiative done by the university to open the eyes

Effective communication in the classroom: Language do matter By CAROL C. CABILAN Bonifacio East District Bonifacio Misamis Occidental

In the classroom setting, proper use of language is very much important. A teacher must pronounce it in standard way and use it approriately in order to make it easier for students to understand her lessons. There are problems in classes brought about the conflict or problem in understanding language. There here are some terms in the lesson that are strange to students and further divert them in understanding the whole lesson. In result, students get poor performance level. Mother Tongue-Based Multilinguistic Education is created in order to a d d re s s s u c h s tu d e nt problem. It is a program of education department that uses mother-tongue language in conducting classes for earlier levels of education, specifically grades one, two and three. In addition, mother-tongue is a best tool in learning other languages or it is a

good use during transition of speaking other languages such as English and Filipino which are mostly used in higher education levels. MTB-MLE is a great help to the learning process to the students for it is their first language learned and using it, understanding subject matters is attainable. Language problems in classrooms are often ignored for so many years, a reason for students to be slow along the run, since understanding lessons delivered in a language unfamiliar to them is truly challenging. However, MTB-MLE served as a bridge. T he prop e r us e of language in classrooms is a basic yet effective avenue in overcoming poor learning. In fact, checking the lesson’s terminologies to be used before the class is essential for teachers and should be done first thing. In such way, process of communication inside the class would be successful.

Career opportunities in real estate highlighted in CUAA seminar agayan de Oro City - As part of its continuing mission to provide its members with activities and opportunities that benefit the community, Capitol University Alumni Association (CUAA) recently conducted a career orientation seminar on real estate at its Audio Visual Room.

of the students and have a different perception of real estate, exposing them to different aspects of the industry,” he said. CUAA Board Member and Coordinator Mark Doblas also shared: “It has been a delight to serve our general membership yet the opportunity to extend these services to the students and to the community as a whole is even more delightful and fulfilling.” Also invited to speak at the seminar were Cheryll Barriga, general manager of Primavera Residences – an initial project of ITPI – and Lorens Ziller, chairman of Multiplata Investment Group. Barriga presented Primavera

Residences as a case study on sustainable development. Recognizing the increasing number of real estate developments in Cagayan de Oro and their significant contributions to the city’s economy, the association believed that students should start exploring the industry as a career potential. “Real estate is not just for salesmen or brokers. For students, it doesn’t mean that their future is dependent on the course they're taking. The most important thing is for people now to consider real estate as a true profession – as a true career not just a sideline, but a real full time profession,” shared Mañalac.

Higher fees for two-car owners pushed TWO Mindanao lawmakers have filed a measure requiring vehicle owners with more than one motor vehicle to pay higher registration fees. Reps. Rufus Rodriguez (2nd District, Cagayan de Oro City) and Maximo Rodriguez, Jr. (Party-list, Abante Mindanao, Inc.) authored House Bill 4181, which will impose additional rates on the annual registration of a second and subsequent vehicle registered under the same owner. Under the measure, additional rates for the annual registration of a second vehicle shall be charged the amount of P 5,000, a third vehicle P 7,000 and P 10,000 for a fourth and each subsequent vehicle. The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) are mandated to promulgate rules and regulations to ensure the effective implementation of this Act. Rodriguez cited data from LTO that showed the number of vehicles increased from 5,891,272 registered vehicles in 2008 to 6,220,433 in 2009 and to 6,634,855 in 2010 for an average increase of 6.2% per year. According to Rodriguez, there are too many vehicles plying the roads and there are not enough roads for them which results in heavy traffic causing numerous negative effects to all aspects of the lives of the Filipino people. Rodriguez said all these vehicles cause too much air pollution, which harms the health of the people. The World Health Organization (WHO) said that as much as 65 percent of the pollutants in the Philippines are from mobile sources.

“WHO statistics showed that carbon monoxide has the biggest pollution load contribution of 50 percent, mainly due to the increasing numbers of gasoline-fed vehicles, including cars comprise of 13.58 percent and motorcycles /tricycles cover 47.88 percent,” Rodriguez said. The lawmaker added that a 2004 report of the Department of Health (DOH) revealed that considerable morbidity and mortality due to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases could have been prevented with better air quality in Metro

Manila in 2002. Rodriguez also cited another report by the Asian Development Bank in 2005 that particulate matter (PM10) caused premature death and chronic respiratory illnesses and the health cost was estimated to be US0 million per year. “With technology for alternative or renewable sources of energy still very inefficient and expensive, there is a need to devise new ways that could help lower the number of vehicles roaming the streets of the country,” Rodriguez said.
