Mindanao being eyed as premier coffee hub T
HE Philippine Coffee Board Inc. (PCBI) eyes Mindanao to be the coffee hub of the country, PCBI officials said in an interview Tuesday.
PCBI co-chair Pacita U. Juan said this shift to Mindanao as the coffee hub for the country is pushed by increasing land value in Luzon particularly in areas of Cavite and Batangas provinces. “When land value is increasing, the crops should go to place where the land value is cheaper,” Juan said citing the southern Philippines offers lowest value of land.

On Bangsamoro Basic Law
IPs getting ‘special treatment’ in the Bangsamoro territory (Part 4 of a Series) By BONG D. FABE, Correspondent
LIKE the Bangsamoro who are about to enjoy the full recognition—self-governance and self-determination—they fought for for decades, the indigenous peoples (IPs) living within the to be established new Bangsamoro territory will enjoy all the freedoms recognized by national and international laws/conventions in accordance to their unique
customs, traditions, beliefs and cultural identity. In recognition of their similarities, the IPs — who are kins of the Bangsamoro — get a sort of “special t re at m e nt” w it h i n t h e Bangsamoro territory: rights and freedoms that they have not yet fully exercise and enjoy at present on top of the rights and freedoms they are already enjoying.
The draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), as a general rule, adhere to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Indigenous Peoples and fully recognize and protect the rights, customs and traditions, beliefs and cultures of the IP inhabitants bangsamoro/PAGE 10
Aside from the land value, farms in Cavite are now more utilized for other agricultural products like fruits; thus harvest of coffee beans in the said area is declining. “Benguet is already getting too much attention. We are now shifting it to the south,” she added. PCBI chair Nicholas A. Matti, likewise, noted that the potential of the coffee farms in Mindanao are not premier/PAGE 10

2 OFWs in Northern Mindanao receive livelihood assistance wed-thu|July 2-3, 2014
EACH of the 58 overseas Filipino worker (OFW) returnees from the Northern Mindanao region received P 10,000 as liveliho o d assistance from the National Reintegration Center for OFWs (NRCO)here, a labor official said on Tuesday.
The NRCO Livelihood Ass i st anc e Pro g r am i s available to OFW returnees who were displaced, distressed and undocumented in order to help them start micro-business or expand their existing businesses and become self–sustaining.
R o d r i go A . D e l o s o, Assistant Regional Director of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in Region 10, said that qualified OFW returnees are required to undergo Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) process like the Enterprise D e ve l opm e nt Tr ai n i ng o r S o c i a l P r e p a r at i o n Orientation before they could avail of the livelihood assistance. One of the beneficiaries,
Fritzie J. Ompoc, a resident of Alubijid, Misamis Oriental, who worked as domestic helper in Kuwait was emotional when she recounted her 2-year experience working away from her family. “It was never easy working away from your family. I am glad that DOLE is extending help. I promise to work hard in the hope that the little amount extended to us would become sustainable for my family,” Ompoc said.
Thara Tanbua-Nabua of Calaanan, Cagayan De Oro City, recounted in tears when her employer in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia attempted to rape her while working as a domestic helper in the Middle East for two years. Tanbua-Nabua expressed gratitude to the assistance extended by the DOLE and OWWA. “I would encourage others to avail of the DOLE and OWWA liveliho o d assistance,” she said. The NRCO has lined
up different feasible business es for a star tup that would enable the target beneficiary to start a livelihood undertaking such as bread making; cosmetology services; and meat processing, Deloso said. He said that the OWWA10 is currently processing more project proposals. As of June 2014, the OWWA has documented about 33,000 overseas workers who come from Northern Mindanao, he said. (PNA)
Misamis Oriental activates disaster management council MISAMIS Oriental -- The province of Misamis Oriental has activated the 26-man Disaster Risk, Reduction Management Council (DRRMC) Monday evening in anticipation of more rains in the coming days. Edmundo Pacamalan Jr. provincial administrator, said the local PAGASA weather
bureau has reported that the Inter Tropical Convergence Z one (ITCZ) af fe c t ing Northern Mindanao might bring in more rains in the coming days. Since Sunday, heavy rains intermittently pour in this premier capital, which resulted in the flooding of streets in the city’s downtown
areas, he said. He said that the activation of the provincial DRRMC is part of the precautionary province’s measures in the deployment of quick response to various areas- especially in far flung areas that become inaccessible due to flood - in Misamis Oriental. Pacamalan said that the
activation of the province’s DRRMC means that the more than 400 disaster listening posts in Misamis Oriental would render situation rep or ts, 24/7 until the provincial governor lifts the activation order. The province’s DRRMC is closely watching activates/PAGE 10

UnionBank BDO buys thrift bank board approves
BDO UNIBANK Inc., the Philippines’ biggest lender by assets, yesterday said it had entered into an agreement to buy small lender The Real Bank (A Thrift Bank) Inc, with 24 branches. BD O, owned by the Philippines’ richest man Henry Sy Sr, did not disclose the terms of the deal that involves the acquisition of all assets and assumption of liabilities of a bank with a deposit base of 7.2 billion pesos ($165 million). The transaction was still subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals, BDO told the Philippine Stock Exchange. “[BDO] has entered into an agreement with [Real Bank] for the acquisition by BDO of all its recorded assets and assumption of all recorded liabilities,” the listed lender said in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange. The Real Bank, a 38year old small lender, has branches in Metro Manila and city outskirts -- Bulacan, Pampanga, Laguna, Cavite, Batangas and Rizal.
plan to increase capital
SMALL lender The Real Bank would have BDO Unibank, Inc. as its new investor. The bank has been booking losses since 2010.
It had total resources of P8.115 billion as of June 30 last year, according to its website. As of end-2012, the bank had a capital deficiency of P1.4 billion, despite a threeyear regulatory relief granted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas in 2007, its latest regulatory filings showed. The central bank had also approved that same year a rehabilitation plan to boost the thrift bank’s capital position. That plan required, among others, the bank’s major
stockholder Jose L. Acuzar to infuse P300 million in accumulated fresh capital within a period of three years starting December 2007 and annually thereafter. It was not clear if the small lender, which booked a loss in 2010, 2011 and 2012, was able to get back on its feet since. Bank officials could not be immediately reached for comment. But it did say on its website that “Real Bank remains ste adfast e ven in the midst of financial bdo/PAGE 11
BSP okays 87 new bank branches THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has approved 87 new branch applications in the first quarter, a higher number compared to 74 in the last quarter of 2013. A BSP memo signed by Deputy Governor Nestor A. Espenilla Jr. indicated that of the 87, about 60 were new regular branches, 19 were microbanking office (MBO), and six were regular other banking office (OBO). The approved new branches are located outside of the National Capital Region, mostly in the southern part of the country. Data showed the universal and commercia l b an ks accounted for 30 of new regular branch approvals
and three OBOs. Thrift banks, in the meantime, received approval for 25 new regular branches and one OBO, while the smaller rural banks had the most of MBO approvals with 19 while they were also approved for five new regular branches and two OBOs. In the first three months of 2014, the central bank said banks opened 94 new branches, mostly in areas outside of the NCR. Of this 94, about 72 were regular branches, 17 were MBOs and five were OBOs. The big banks opened more regular branches or 55 and re-opened just two during the period. Thrift banks opened 10 regular
branches and rural banks accounted for seven new regular branches as of endMarch. The rural banks opened the most number of MBOs at 15, while thrift banks opened only three. Regular branches are full-sized banks, mostly traditional brick and mortar branches or contained within a building and offers full banking services. The MBOs and OBOs have limited banking services but accept payments, remittances and even purchase of foreign currencies. In the case of MBOs, it primarily transacts micro-finance such as microinsurance and micro-loan products. bsp/PAGE 11
ABOITIZ-led Union Bank of the Philippines, Inc. (UnionBank) has formalized its earlier-announced plan to issue up to P10 billion in Basel 3-compliant Tier 2 notes. “The Board of Directors of [UnionBank], in its meeting held on June 27, 2014, approved the issuance of up to P10.0 billion unsecured subordinated debt qualified as Tier 2 capital, subject to prior approval of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas,” the bank said in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange Monday. UnionBank President and Chief Operations Officer Victor B. Valdepeñas earlier said in May that the bank was readying the sale. The disclosure did not offer details about the bond offer, but Mr. Valdepeñas had said that the notes “won’t be different from what are being issued now in the market,” referring to a tenor of 10 years with an option to redeem the bonds in five years. No timetable has been announced yet for the sale of the new-style bonds. Basel 3 is a set of reforms that aim to reduce the risk of system-w ide sho cks reminiscent of the 2008 global financial crisis, which cost central banks around the world billions’ worth of public funds used in bank bailouts. To avoid that scenario, holders of the Basel 3-compliant bonds must bear losses before any public funds are used to rescue the bank.
Home-school partnership: In enhancing child’s school performance By Corazon B. Duhaylungsod Tambo Central School
Teachers are people given the task to educate and instill knowledge and values to the minds of the students. In school, they ser ve as the student’s parent and caregiver as well. Teachers are person who the students with during class hours. They know how a student behave and how did he do in his studies. They are the ones who took over the role of the parents once a child leaves his home and comes to school. Thus, it is very important for parents to collaborate with teachers in matters concerning their child. May it be on study habits, behaviour and how to improve values and reprimand bad acts.
In a column of Patrece Charles-Freeman published online, parents benefit from being involved in their children’s education by getting ideas from school on how to support their children. It is good also that parents should build a positive relationship with our children’s teachers. Charles-Freeman gave few tips in accomplishing such task. These are the following. Make your first interaction positive: Greet your children’s teacher with a warm hello and kind words. They are much more likely to be receptive when you have a problem later. Don’t get angry before
getting the facts: There are times that parents know something that teachers don’t know and vice versa. Possibilities also happen like parents and teachers have different ideas on one story. The exchange of information is a great help in avoiding misinterpretation and further, resolve problems in school. Don’t go over their heads. Time comes that parents learned something from their child that might cause confusion to them. In result, they need to confide from the school itself. In situations like these, parents should see teachers first before principals because it might upset them one a parent will do otherwise. Remember that most te a ch e rs are s e ns it ive :
Teaching is an intensely personal job. Teachers are people who are paid to care about the thoughts and feelings of others. Finally, good teachers welcome dialogue with parents, because it gives them a better understanding of their students. However, teachers must remember that parents have the right to expect timely notification regarding students’ academic performance and behaviour. I n t h e p a r e nt - t e a c h e r relat ionship, li ke most others, communication is the key. Parents and teachers must join hand in hand in educating young people. In this way, home and school could provide learning in a way that it is appropriate for them.

MUST poised to become the country’s science, technology university
A
fter successfully elevating the then Mindanao Polytechnic State College (MPSC) to the Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST), the C ommitte e on Hig her Education and Technical Education in Congress is now mulling the passage of a bill which proposes the conversion of the institution as the Un ive r s it y of S c i e n c e and Technolog y in the Philippines (USTP). In his visit during the inaugural ceremony of the university’s eight-storey Engineering C omplex,
Committee Chairperson Congressman Roman T. R o m u l o s a i d t h i s bill, together with the proposed establishment of a maritime school in Mindanao is now on its third reading in Congress and is hoped to be passed before the year ends. “This is Cagayan de Oro City and Mindanao’s fair share from the national government,” he said. He added that this serves as an inspiration not only to the Mindanaoans but also to policy makers and government officials. Representative Rufus B. Rodriguez, author of the
bill, stressed that it is about time for the Philippines to have a university that will cater solely for science and technology. M U S T Un i v e r s i t y President Ricardo E. Rotoras also cited that this is their way of positioning t he universit y for t he ASEAN 2015 integration. Rotoras also expressed his gratitude to the other champion who is instrumental to the university’s successes, Pat r i c i a B. L i c u a n a n , Chairperson of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and MUST Board of Regents.
In her message during the launch, Licuanan reminded t h e S t a t e Un i v e r s i t y and C ol lege (SUC) to balance the infrastructure development with good programs, curriculum, quality of teaching and quality of learning. She also urged the students to go beyond the degree that they longed for and be active as well in various university activities like volunteerism, social life and culture and arts. Jorie C.

Being Thankful
T
hink a minute…During World War II, churches stayed open 24 hours a day so people could come to pray for their country and family members out on the battlefield. A caretaker in one of these churches noticed a boy who came to pray about 10 minutes every day. One day after several weeks, the boy came and stayed to pray even longer. The caretaker asked him why he was praying longer this time. The boy answered: “Each day I came to ask God to bring my father home safely. This morning my dad came home, so I hurried here to thank God.” Have you developed the habit of being thankful every day, no matter how things are going? Always remember, there are many people with worse problems than yours. My friend’s son, Joshua, was born with a serious heart disease. Joshua has had several heart surgeries. He’s not been able to play sports because of his heart condition. But Joshua’s grandmother always taught him to be thankful. On days when Joshua was so sick he could not go to school, his grandmother told him: “Josh, just be thankful that you’re home and not in the hospital.” Recently Joshua had

another heart surgery, but this time the strong medicine made him so sick he almost died. Joshua’s grandmother telephone d him in t he hospital to very kindly and gently say: “Josh, I love you and I’m praying for you. Be thankful you’re not in a coma.” You know that grandmother is right? No matter how bad our problems are, they could always be much worse. When’s the last time you counted all the good things you have: whether it’s your family, friends, food to eat, clothes to wear, a roof over your head? Things that millions of people in the world do not have. Usually, it’s only after we’ve gone through problems that we learn some of our most important lessons in life.

Human Trafficking in the Philippines
A
lmost buried in the avalanche of media reports about the pork barrel investigations was the recent release of a US State Department report on human trafficking worldwide. While in its most common form, human trafficking involves sexual slavery, the term encompasses a wider range of exploitation such as for purposes of forced labor (eg., employment in sweat shop factories or syndicated begging) extraction of organs and tissues, providing spouses in the context of forced marriages, and enlistment of children soldiers. According to the State Department, more than twenty million worldwide have been victims of human trafficking. Meanwhile, the International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that the human trafficking industry generates 32 billion dollars yearly, roughly half
of which is generated in industrialized countries while approximately a third is generated in Asia. O n t he Phi l ippines, t h e S t at e D e p a r t m e n t Report made the following observations: -Forced labor and sex trafficking of men, women and children in the Philippines remain a significant problem. -Incidence of trafficking of men and boys is increasing. -Women and children from rural communities, areas affected by disaster or conflict, and impoverished urban centers are subjected to domestic servitude, forced begging, forced labor in small factories and sex trafficking. -Men are subjected to forced labor and debt bondage in agriculture, including on sugar cane plantations, and in fishing and other maritime industries. On a brighter note, the report mentioned an increase
of conviction of trafficking offenders from 25 in 2012 to 31 in 2013. As a result, the Philippines r e t a i n e d i t s T i e r Tw o classification in terms of compliance with anti-human trafficking standards. Tier Two includes countries which do not comply with minimum standards but are making significant efforts to do so. The Philippines is grouped with Brunei, Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam. In l ow e r c at e g o r i e s are Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar (Tier Two Watch List) and Malaysia and Thailand (Tier Three). The classification prompted Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to proclaim that the “country remains a leader in Southeast Asian Region in fighting human trafficking.” But Columban Father Shay Cullen, who has made

The Worrier
L
ife is better than ever, so, why so many people seem to be unhappy? Whenever I hear people saying that everything is bad, I thik of my late grandmother, born in 1899 (!) into a really awful world in Germany and its surroundings. The so-called “Golden Twenties” between the two World Wars have been everything but golden for her, my relatives and millions of people. “Lola” never complained, even during the sorrowful time in the former East Germany, the “German Democratic Republic”. Lola reached the ripe old age of almost 86. We hardly count our blessings. We enjoy counting our crosses. Instead of gains, we count our losses. We don’t have to do all that counting - computers do it for us.
Information is easily had. Just remember this: Opportunity doesn’t just knock - it jiglles the doorknob, and “your friend” - the worrier, is with you day and night, at every corner, following your every step. Complaining and grumbling are good excuses, aren’t they? We have time and opportuntities to do almst anything. So why haven’t we done it? We have the freedom of bondage or restraint, every one of us in his or her very special way - but, we’re still our old inferior selves. The job is boring! I don’t find a good job! The house is an unpleasing mixture of tidy and dirty things. It’s a mess! I am not in the mood to arrange my garden. I can’t afford a gardener. That’s life. How sad! No, it’s not MY fault. Of course not!
The whole world is an awful place filled with dreadful and horrible negativsm. Yes, I confess, I am also surrounded by many worriers who put their fears into me! Politicians, i.e., many times love to search for some grave alarm that will cause individuals to abondon their separate concerns and act in concert, so that politicians can wield the baton. Calls to fatal struggles and fights are forever being surrounded. The over-bearing person, who tyrannizes the weak, the person, who wants to domineer and to bluster, is simply nothing else than a worrier, who might claim to be a friend. But he isn’t! Really not! The bullying of fellow citizens by means of dread and fright has been going on since Paleolithic times. The night wolf is eating the moon. Give me silver, and I’ll make

him spit out. Well, when will we start counting our courage and not our fears, or enjoy instead our woes? Worrying itself is pointless. Of course, no society has achieved perfectly rules of law, never-ending education or unique responsible governments. Let’s seek out the worries but avoid the worriers, because they try to avoid liberty.
The Basics of a Business Plan
I
t’s a common misconception that business plans are only used by entrepreneurs who need to acquire investor support and funding. But the fact is, whether you’re bootstrapping or seeking investor support, you need a business plan to define your direction and give you a blueprint for steering your business to prosperity and freedom. After all, you’re in business to make money, not to gamble your resources based purely on luck. So what are the basic elements of a business plan? Typical sections include: Executive Summary (highlight of your plan), Company Summary, Products and/or Ser vices, Market Analysis (your consumers and competitive landscape), Strategy and Implementation
(your marketing, action plans, and milestones), Management Summary (background of your management team), and Financial Plan. Don’t be intimidated— these are just terminologies that cover the following basic questions. (Remember, these are the same questions that potential investors will ask you before they agree to provide their financial support.) 1. Who are you, and why should I listen to you? 2. Where are you in the process of business creation? 3. Where are you going? What’s your vision and purpose? 4. What’s your product or service? 5. Who wants it? 6. Why would they want it?
7. How many people in which markets want it? 8. How are you going to tell them about it? 9. Who else has it, now? 10. How are you different from them? 11. What are the risks involved? 12. How much will it cost to get your products or services to those who want them? 13. What makes you different? 14. What are the possible rewards? 15. What do you want (debt, equity investors, bond holders)? 16. What is your exit strategy? (When do I get my return?) One of the most critical issues in business is the level of risk involved. By using

SWOT analysis—Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats - you will solidify your business outlook and be prepared for potential contingencies. As you work with your team to identify each of these, you will stabilize your business and overcome the internal and external factors that may undermine your success.

yet maximized, producing only 17,000 tons of coffee. He said that making Mindanao as the coffee hub will help around 40,000 farmers who are mostly indigenous people. Mountains in Mindanao, where coffee farms are situated, also have more accessibility through different provinces; making coffee farming more inclusive. In ord e r to f u r t he r develop the coffee industry in Mindanao, more roasting facilities should be provided in these areas. According to Matt i, provinces of Negros, Cotabato, and Zamboanga have t h r iv i ng ro ast i ng businesses. Moreover, the coffee industry is a growing sector as there is 3.0 to 5.0 percent annual growth in demand of robusta coffee while roasted and ground coffee demand has an annual growth of 10 to 15 percent.
Meanwhile, the PCBI will bring its annual coffee summit in Davao City on October 13 to 17 to further boost the coffee industry in Mindanao. (PNA)

“c u s t o m s , b e l i e f s a n d traditions of the people in the Bangsamoro are recognized, protected and guaranteed.” The Bangsamoro government guarantees the adoption of measures “to ensure mutual respect and protection of the distinct beliefs, customs and traditions” of the peoples in the territory; and guarantees the peoples the freedom from any form of discrimination on account of creed, religion, ethnic origin, parentage or sex. The IPs will also be represented in the BTA. In the Interim Cabinet, there will be an Indigenous Peoples Affairs office and in the hiring process for the Bangsamoro Government, gender and ethnic balance is of paramount importance. “Parliament may create an appropriate office or ministry for IPs, which shall be part of the Bangsamoro Cabinet,” the proposed BBL said. In the Bangsamoro Parliament, the IPs have 2 reser ved seats, whose occupants will be selected pursuant to customary laws and indigenous processes. An IP representative will also sit in the Council of Leaders. Justice System “The justice system in the Bangsamoro shall give primary consideration to Shari’ah and customar y rights and traditions of the indigenous peoples in the Bangsamoro.” The BBL also guarantees that the IPs can fully exercise their traditional/tribal justice system, a justice system that is appropriate for the IPs as defined by them. For this, the establishment of the Office for Tradition/Tribal Justice System is ensured. The IPs are also guaranteed their full par ticipation in t he “for mu lat ion, implementation and evaluation of policies related to the strengthening of the tribal justice system.” Conflicting parties of the IPs will also have the freedom to choose an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The proposed BBL also guarantees the “recognition of indigenous structures or systems which promote peace, law and order” as well
as “institutional support for these structures and systems.” Natural Resources IP communities within the Bangsamoro territory will also preferential rights in the exploitation, development and utilization (EDU) of natural resources within their ancestral domain covered by a native title as well as enjoy equitable share in the revenues from the EDU of these natural resources. Of course, the EDU of these natural res ources must have the IPs free and prior informed consent (FPIC). On mining, especially in the EDU of fossil fuels and uranium, the draft BBL provides that “preferential r i g h t s” a r e g i v e n “t o qualified citizens who are bonafide inhabitants of the Bangsamoro. The IPs will also have the right to regulate small-scale mining “to ensure that the ecological balance, safety and health, and the interests of affected communities and indigenous people, among others, are duly protected and safeguarded.” For natural resources found in the Sulu Sea and the Moro Gulf, the IPs are guaranteed protection of their traditional fishing grounds as well as enjoy the benefits from the EDU of the resources found therein.

crisis some years back as it has built its foundation on solid operations and sound financial strategy.” The entr y of a ne w investor, BDO, could provide the small lender the needed lift. M&A deals were key in propelling BDO, which has total assets of P1.6 trillion as of end-March and an 814-strong domestic branch network as of end-2013, to the top spot in the Philippine banking sector. Its last acquisition was the trust business of Deutsche Bank AG’s Manila branch. That transaction in February gave BDO scale in its trust and investment business, adding P70 billion to the bank’s P770 billion assets under management. BDO first bought the Dao Heng Bank’s subsidiary in the Philippines in 2001, followed by First e- Bank in 2002. The following year, BDO swallowed Banco Santander Central Hispano’s subsidiary in the Philippines. In 2005, it acquired United Overseas Bank. Next was Equitable PCI Bank in 2006. The year after, it bought

from page 4 In 2012, the central bank lifted the limit on the number of branches that banks can apply for in a move that will further encourage mid-sized commercial banks to expand their banking networks. While a bank may apply for a new establishment at any time, the BSP approval will depend on a bank’s capital base. Ap p r o v a l s f o r n e w branches may also be revoked if the BSP could determine that a bank’s capital will no longer sufficiently support the establishment of new branches or the bank has supervisory problems. As of March 2014, the BSP is supervising 667 banks with 9,353 branches or other offices. Of 667, 36 were the universal and commercial banks, 70 were thrift banks and 525 were rural banks.

at the lackluster performance of law enforcers and the judiciary in going after human traffickers. “Trafficking in persons is so rampant; corruption is widespread so the suspects seldom get arrested or convicted due to incompetent or corrupt prosecutors and judges and police. “While most of the judiciary can be said to be fairly just and honest, not all prosecute or convict because of bribery. “That is why the Philippines is still on the 2nd level of notoriety of the US Trafficking in Persons report.”

In 2007, government and NGO estimates placed the number of women trafficked at between 300,000 to 400,000. The number of children trafficked ranged from 60,000 to 100,000. Given such shocking numbers, which cover only sex-related trafficking, I am inclined to agree with Fr. Cullen’s observation. For feedback, you may email us at totingbunye2000@ gmail.com.
