Child mortality THE Commission on Population (PopCom) in Northern Mindanao has instituted a massive responsible parenthood educational program targeted at couples of reproductive age in a bid to curb child mortality rate in the region. Lydio Apostol, PopCom regional director, said on Tuesday that a study released by the UNICEF Philippines disclosed that 40 out of 1,000 births in Northern Mindanao die before reaching the age of five years. He said that the educational program targets the marginalized beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps in the region where childbearing couples are considered vulnerable.

Restored hope DAVAO Oriental -- Restoring hope after a major calamity, the government’s provision of new homes to disaster-stricken families offers a promise for a new beginning. “If not for the government providing us with these new houses, probably, we would still be left homeless and hopeless,” said 62 year old Iluminado Oggod of Barangay Sibajay in Boston town, whose house was completely torn down by typhoon Pablo. “I never expected that I would be given a house of my own. It completely restored my hope to dream again for my family,” he said. Eager to move in to her new home, an elderly resident of Cateel, Angela dela Zalde also conveyed her overwhelming bliss as she received the certificate of occupancy. “Though everything we had were lost, they had all been replaced with plenty of blessings, including this new house” she said, describing her new home to be more beautiful than what her family used to live before the rampaging storm in 2012.

P-Noy seeks Congress’ consideration on BBL C

By MINDANEWS

OTABATO City – President Benigno S. Aquino III asked the consideration of Congress for the delay in the submission of the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) during his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Monday. Speaking for one hour and twelve minutes in a televised national address, Aquino cited the signing o f t h e C o mp re h e n s i v e Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) with

the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) last March 27. The CAB envisions the creation of the Bangsamoro government, which will replace the Autonomous

Region in Muslim Mindanao after the passage and ratification of the BBL. Aquino said the proposed BBL is still being threshed out by both parties. E a r l i e r, t h e M I L F complained that the proposal drafted by the Bangsamoro Transition C ommission was “heavily diluted” by the revisions conducted by the President’s legal team. “We are asking for the consideration of Congress [that the BBL has yet to be bbl/PAGE 5

Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) will be released through a news conference on July 31 at the Grand Caprice Restaurant, this city. The news conference

on the performance of the regional economy will be held simultaneously in other eight regions, namely, Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), and Regions I, V, VI, VIII, IX, XI and XII. The GRDP measures the

value of goods and services produced in each of the geopolitical regions of the country. Complied on an annual basis by the PSA, the GRDP is the share of the 17 regions to the country’s Gross Domestic Product.

BSP orients Bislig stakeholders on new banknotes By NIDA GRACE P. BARCENA, Contributor

BISLIG City – The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) conducted an orientation about the security features of the New Generation Philippine Banknotes to various stakeholders in the city. The orientation, facilitated by Je t z e r Ta n of B SP Corporate Affairs Office, and Zandy Estoy of BSP-CDO, is part of the agency’s public information campaign about the country’s new peso bills, said Laine Elechicon of Bislig City Information Office. “The purpose of this campaign is to inform our people of the importance of safeguarding and preventing the spread of counterfeit or fake money,” said Bislig City Mayor Librado Navarro.

In a press statement released from the BSP, the present banknotes will remain in circulation and will continue to be accepted as legal tender for at least three more years. Based on previous currency retirement or demonetization program of the BSP, this will give enough time for the public accordingly to make a full transition to the new generation currency, wherein a separate schedule will be followed for coins. Banknotes of the Philippine peso are made of durable paper, principally composed 80% cotton and 20% abaca issued by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines) for circulation in the country.

Mindanao’s high power rates offset Holcim’s earnings in 1H THE local unit of Swiss cement giant Holcim posted record volumes in the second quarter but earnings hardly changed, as higher power costs in Mindanao dampened profitability. In a briefing on Monday, Holcim Philippines Inc chief executive officer Ed Sahagun announced that the country’s leading cement manufacturer registered a profit of P3.32 billion in the first six months of the year, 8.7 percent higher than the P3.05 billion in the same period in 2013. Holcim Philippines’ net income inched up 2 percent to P1.65 billion during the second quarter alone from P1.62 billion a year ago. Higher power costs in Mindanao where the cement maker operates two plants weighed on earnings in the April to June period after growing by 16.8 percent in the first quarter. Sahagun said the cost of electricity may have gone down in July as some power plants came on stream. Sales volumes expanded by 8.8 percent year-on-year to 92 million bags of cement in the first semester, from 84 million bags in 2013. In

the second quarter alone, Holcim Philippines sold a record 47 million bags of cement. The first-half growth is faster than the 6 percent registered by the industry in the same period. The cement maker expects to sustain its growth pace for the rest of the year, projecting an 8 percent expansion for the entire 2014 and 5-6 percent expansion pace over the long term, Sahagun said. Improved volumes and minimal price increases

boosted revenues by 8.5 percent to P8.81 billion in the second quarter, pushing first-half revenues by a tenth to P16.86 billion from P15.28 billion a year ago. St rong c onst r u c t i on activity buoyed by rehabilitation efforts particularly in the Visayas, the sustained government and private sector spending as well as the rollout of the major private-public partnership projects boosted demand for cement, Sahagun said. With the onset of the

rainy season in the second half of the year, Holcim Philippines will shift its focus to completing the regular maintenance of its plants. Sahagun said Holcim Philippines and Lafarge Republic Inc will complete by next year a study that will set the stage for the merger of their operations following the planned union of their parent firms. Sahagun estimates the combined market share of both parties at 62 percent holcim/PAGE 9

3 Vista Land spending P50B for township wednesday|July 30, 2014

VISTA Land has unveiled its plan for a major township project in Mega Manila, as the country’s largest home builder moves to boost its stream of recurring income. Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc chairman Manuel B. Villar told reporters over the weekend that the company is shelling out P50 billion in the next five years to develop Vista City. Vista City will integrate themed residential developments, office buildings, lifestyle retail projects, a university town, and leisure components into a 1,500-hectare township straddling Muntinlupa and Las Pinas in Metro Manila, as well as parts of Cavite and Laguna provinces. “ We’r e c o n t i n u i n g launches this year because we want this to be the number one master planned community in the country outside of Makati,” Villar said. The real estate firm has developed 550 hectares of Vista City in the last 4-5 years and is now home to 45,000 households through Britanny’s Portofino, Crown Asia’s Ponticelli and Camella’’s Cerritos residential projects. Vista Land will build new residential projects under its

various brands as it looks to expand the integrated township by an additional 200-300 hectares, the former senator said. “We have been planning in the past 4-5 years. Somehow, we didn’t want to launch this until we’re confident we can be successful. As you can see from development of Evia Lifestyle Center, this is just an example of how we will be developing Vista City,” Villar said. Vista Land is allocating 250 hectares for commercial establishments and office buildings catering to business process outsourcing (BPO) firms anchored on the Evia Lifestyle Center. The first phase of the retail center, Evia Everyday, will be completed soon with a gross floor area of 40,000 square meters. The second phase, Evia Global Village, will have an open-air retail promenade and will be completed this year. The third phase may have another 80,000 square meters of gross floor area, Villar said. Envisioned to become one of the most advanced business and IT parks in the country, Vista City will feature an entire district devoted to business and commerce called vista/PAGE 9

“Creating Responsive Innovations, Energizing the Future, and Making People’s Lives Better” FIBECO’s state-of-the-art Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) was implemented and commissioned on June 13, 2013. Since then, various electric cooperatives have benchmarked and visited FIBECO with this innovation. SCADA provides an online and real-time supervision, control, and acquisition of substation assets and centralized monitoring of electric distribution facilities including sub-offices and maintenance vehicles. The use of this technology have enabled FIBECO to increase its power reliability by providing quick response to power interruptions. It enhances monitoring and control of the condition of the whole distribution system of FIBECO including its equipments such as but not limited to meters, reclosers, circuit breakers and other assets and equipment within the substations. This technology also facilitates FIBECO’s predictive and preventive maintenance thereby reducing equipment failures and damages. The SCADA is composed of the following sub-systems: 1. The Human-Machine Engineers. They perform all the human interventions necessary in the SCADA system which usually involves the following: data inputting for Database Management System, readings and formulation of equipment status reports that are communicated to SCADA as required, data compilation for trending and analysis, and all other monitoring activities.

It is important that we thoroughly examine every provision,” Aquino said. He assured the government will do everything to put forward a Bangsamoro law that is “just, fair and acceptable

MILF chairman Al Haj Murad Ebrahim noted the submission of the draft BBL by Malacañang to Congress is already delayed, but he still appealed for support for the success of the peace process. “Despite the recent challenges we are facing in the peace process brought about by the delay in the submission of the drafted BBL to the Philippine Congress after the review and revision introduced by the legal team of the Office of the President, once again we are earnestly calling your continued support to the ongoing GPH-MILF peace process,” Murad said in his Eid’l Fitr message on Monday.

Plaintiffs, however, did not file a motion for execution of the afore-quoted Judgment within the reglementary period of five years from the issuance of the entry of judgment. On August 2, 2013, or after eight years from entry thereof, this Action was instituted based on Section 6, Rule 39 of the Rules of Court which provides that: “ Sec. 6. Execution by motion or by Independent action. -- A final and executory judgment or order may be executed on motion within five (5) days from the date of its entry. After the lapse of such time, and before it is barred by the statute of limitations, a judgment may be enforced by action. The revived judgment may also be enforced by motion within five (5) years from the date of its entry and thereafter by action before it is barred by the statute of limitations. (6a)” After complying with the jurisdictional requirements, an ex-parte hearing was had on April 4, 2014 where the Plaintiffs’ representative testified on the fact that she was the representative of the Plaintiffs in case of The Heirs of Simpan Umpa, Represented by Salonga Umpa vs. Mildra Martin, docketed as Civil Case No. 21-88 and filed with this Court, and a Decision was then rendered, dated November 13, 1998; that said Decision was not executed within the reglementary period; and that this action for revival was filed within the reglementary period. Going over the evidence, the Plaintiffs were able to establish their cause of action for revival of judgment , hence, entitling the Plaintiffs to the main reliefs being prayed for. This Court, however , will not grant the other reliefs which were not the subject of the fallo of the Decision sought to be revived. This is in accord with the pronouncement in the case of Heirs of Numeriano Miranda vs. Pablo Mirandoa where it was held that: “An action for revival of a judgment cannot modify, alter, or reverse the original judgment, which is already final and executory.” WHEREFORE, based on the foregoing, judgment is hereby rendered, reviving the Decesion, dated November 13, 1998 in The Heirs of Simpan Umpa, Represented by Salonga Umpa vs. Mildra Martin, docketed as Civil Case No. 21-88, which reads: “WHEREFORE, premises considered, judgment is hereby in favor of the plaintiffs and against the defendant as follows: 5. Declaring the plaintiffs, heirs of Simpan Umpa, as the owners and, therefore, entitled to the possession of the subject parcel of land containing an area of about 2.4 hectares located at Magpatao, Lala, Lanao del Norte. 6. Ordering defendant to reconvey to plaintiffs the subjects land now covered by OCT No. P-9526 which was issued in the name of the defendant; 7. Ordering defendant to pay plaintiffs the amounts of Thirty Thousand Pesos ( P 30,000.00) as attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation; and 8. To pay the costs of suits.” SO ORDERD.

Getting Fit

T

hink a minute…Mr. Louis Joline was awarded one of America’s “Fittest Over 50.” At the age of 65, He had completed 61 marathon races. Remember, a marathon is running 26 miles! You would not think this man needs help or encouragement to run. But Louis Joline has admitted that he needs to belong to a running club. He says that he cannot get physically fit and strong by himself alone. He always advises people: “You should exercise with a group, because if your friends are exercising, then you will too!” This is also true when you need to get spiritually fit and strong in your new life with Jesus Christ. There are two things in life that you cannot do alone: Be married and Be a Christian. God created and designed us all so that we need each other to encourage us when we fail, get discouraged or hurt. We need to spend time every week with friends who are successfully living for Jesus. Then, we can be motivated and learn from their good character and example. We also need true teaching, spiritually healthy food, to keep growing and maturing in our Christ-like character. We need to learn through clear, practical teaching from the Bible how to live Jesus’ way successfully in everyday, real life.

THINK

A Minute

By Jhan Tiafau Hurst

Are you involved and committed to a church: your spiritual family? Do you have close, Christian friends who love Jesus and live His way every day? Do you have someone you can talk and pray with about your problems? Are you hearing clear, practical teaching every week how to daily live the successful Christian life? You and I can only become spiritually fit and strong through a team effort. When you join Jesus, you join His team and family. So why not ask Jesus to take full charge of your character and daily lifestyle? Then ask Him to lead you to a church family where you can learn to live Jesus’ right, successful way. Remember, it is only together with our spiritual family and team that any of us can finish our race well— more like Jesus. Just Think a Minute…

How to Achieve an All-Inclusive Growth?

T

here is a need to refocus on gains and further develop all government resources according to the House Speaker Sonny Belmonte. In d e e d , c r e at i v i t y and innovation should be implemented at the national and local government levels if the present administration wants to catalyse the provision of better services to the Filipino people and achieve an all-inclusive growth. The attainment of allinclusive growth remains a challenge. Based on the latest forecasts, the nation will continue to expect a buoyant economy even amid of recent natural calamities. But these remain as forecasts. Lonely forecasts because the real situation is opposite the forecasts. The Speaker came up with a doable list of legislative pr ior it ies touching on vital realms of economic development, investments and finance, infrastructure, e du c at i on an d hu m an development and good governance, among others. May all those in the list be

editorial acted upon. The problem with our legislators is that they are lazy. Some are good in debating the principles Very few are industrious enough to pursue what has been legislated. Belmonte is right. There is a need to amend the restrictive economic provisions in the Constitution as key to maximize the influx of direct foreign investments in the country. The Speaker also revealed a briefer on a package of reforms that the House is working on. We can only hope that this reform package is intended to improve the business climate, create jobs, reduce poverty, and foster transparency and accountability, all from the perspective of our journey towards inclusive growth, and are not for further political purposes. The brief list includes: a) measures to strengthen and enhance the functions of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas;

2) up-dating the Tariff and Customs Code to facilitate and curb abuses and corruption in the Bureau of Customs; 3) The proposed amendments to the Foreign Investment Act to facilitate the lowering of minimum paid-in capital for foreign equity, and removing divestiture requirements for foreign investors; 4) pursue a C o mp e t i t i o n Po l i c y to complement ongoing market-oriented reforms and institutionalize an effective domestic competition regime at all industry levels. They should stand on their promise to rationalize and promote transparency in the grant of fiscal incentives, focusing on the objective of trade facilitation and investment promotion without prejudice to fiscal prudence. One important thing is for Congress to pass the proposed Freedom of Information Act. This is vital if government wants to foster greater transparency

and accountability in the government. Also, there is a need to pursue further reforms that will improve the state of infrastructure in the country, including the cost and adequacy of power and water, as well as transportation and logistics. Infrastructurerelated policy reforms include: 1) proposed amendments to the BOT Law to facilitate greater involvement and participation of the private sector in meeting infra requirements; 2) review and study on possible amendment to the Cabotage Law to liberalize transhipment services; 3) a review of the EPIRA to0 determine what amendments are necessary to truly achieve a stable, reliable, affordable and transparent power supply market. Let Congress also pursue the measure strengthening the regulation of water utilities through the National Water Resources Board, enabling it to work better towards the development, conservation and protection of water resources. Action is needed not mere words.

Nurturing the Reading Habit

P

resident Manuel L. Quezon once proclaimed that “the reading of good books or the printed page is one of the most effective methods of bringing enlightenment within the reach of the largest possible number of people, and of promoting the cause of popular culture with its tremendous social benefits”. He further added that “it is desirable that the task of arousing a widespread interest in the reading of good books be recognized as a highly patriotic duty as well as a privilege”. With these words, Quezon designated in 1936 the last week of November of every year as National Book Week. Also cognizant of the need to inculcate the reading habit, especially among the young, the Philippine Board of Books for Young People (PBBY) organized, starting in 1984, The National Children’s Book Day. PBBY chose the third Tuesday of July and every year thereafter to celebrate the event. The period holds special significance because it was in July 1889 that Dr. Jose Rizal’s children’s story “The Monkey and The Turtle” saw print in Trubner’s Oriental Record in London. M e a n i n g f u l commemorative events and programs have been held in the past during both National Book Week and National

Children’s Book Day. Schools, especially private institutions, normally hold any or a combination of the following activities: mini-book fair, story telling, book hunting, book design contests, poster making contests, trivia games. The most recent celebration of National Children’s Book Day featured, among others, school group visits to Museo Pambata, a book fair, workshop for librarians, and recognition of award-winning writers as well as illustrators of children’s books. Supermart chain SM hosted story-reading events both in MOA and in its provincial outlets. All these are well and good. Considering, however, the tremendous importance of reading as a key to individual and national development, the holding of such events should really be a year-round undertaking. Incidentally, Muntinlupa City, headed by Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi, launched during Muntinlupa Cityhood Day last March 1, a mass reading event participated in by more than 19,000 students, parents and teachers. The participants read books while forming a huge human flag at Filinvest Corporate City. In the process, Muntinlupa City reportedly broke the world record for adults reading to children in a single location.

The need to inculcate the habit of reading becomes especially imperative with the advent and tremendous developments in broadcast and in the film industry which tend to convert many, especially the young, into passive learners. The National Statistics Office (NS0) declared in 2010 an increase of “the number of people who can read and write in any language or dialect in the Philippines compared to 10 years ago.” The Census of Population and Housing (CPH) showed that of 71.5 million individuals who are 10 years old and above, 97.5 per cent or 69.8 million were literate or could read and write. NSO also ranked the different regions, with NCR enjoying the highest literacy rate. I suspect, however, that the figures do not reflect the actual reading capabilities of those surveyed. The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has categorized reading abilities into 5 levels, as follows: “Level 1 – Very poor literacy skills “Level 2 – Has capacity to deal only with simple, clear material involving uncomplicated task. “Level 3 – Adequate to cope with the demands of everyday life and working in

an advanced society. “Levels 4 and 5 – Strong skills. Individuals at these levels can process information of a complex and demanding nature.” Despite the advance status of its member countries, however, OECD predicts that by 2031, “47 per cent of adults (aged 16 and over) will continue to have low literacy skills below Level 3.” Clearly, more needs to be done in order to raise our reading skills on a national scale. The battle has to be waged both in the homes and in the classrooms. In both arenas, the young must be given the proper learning environment and the proper facilities to give them a good start. That will be quite a challenge for parents, teachers and the community. For feedback, email us at totingbunye2000@gmail. com.

1,000 Zumba enthusiasts join ‘Zumbaklay’ in Ozamiz By Rutchie Cabahug-Aguhob

DENR INQUIRY - VICE GOVERNOR JOEY G. PELAEZ exchanges pleasantries with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Officials during the 27th Regular Session of the Sanggunian Panlalawigan of Misamis Oriental. Community Environmental and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) Gingoog City Officer-inCharge Engr. Rey S. Fernandez (standing, 2nd from right) and DENR Region X Legal Division’s Atty. Bah Mikhael C. Pacuribot (standing, extreme right) gave updates on the status of the case involving the apprehension MORESCO II’s boom truck for carrying illegally cut logs. It will be recalled that Vice Governor Pelaez called for investigation of MORESCO II for serious acts of mismanagement which included the apprehension of MORECO II’s boom truck by DENR.

He said the CDRRMC is planning to make an inventory of the addresses of patients who have used the blood in the blood bank of hospitals in the city, such as, the MHARS-RTTH, a government facility.

“We know that patients from the neighbouring provinces are brought in to the city, to seek medical help and we wanted to know, particularly where they come from,” the CDRRMO said. “This way, we can arrange with the local government units (LGU) of the patients’ origin to help us in the bloodletting drive in their areas. Conducting it among the NSTP students is a good start, as they mostly come from the nearby provinces, Israel added. (RCA/PIA10Misamis Occidental)

OZAMIZ CITY, Misamis Occidental – The Ozamiz City Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC) has initiated a bloodletting activity among the National Service Training Program (NSTP) students in the city, last July 26. The activity was done by the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) for the NSTP students of Misamis University (MU), and Mayor Hilarion A. Ramiro, Sr., Regional Training and Te aching Hospital (MHARS-RTTH) for those in Our Lady of Triumph Institute

of Technolog y (OLTIT) and Misamis Institute of Technology (MIT). The bloodletting is part of the month-long activities lined-up by the CDRRMC in observance of the July 2014 National Disaster C o n s c i o u s n e s s Mo n t h (NDCM) with the theme: “Kahandaan at Kaligtasan ng Pamayanan, Pundasyon ng Kaunlaran (Community Preparedness and Safety, Foundations of Progress).” However, Mark Vincent C.

MARAWI CIT Y, L anao del Sur -- The Solid Waste Management Board (SWMB) of the city together with representatives from various organizations here converged on July 23 at the DxSR Sallam Radio conference room to discuss how they can contribute to the ecological solid waste management program of the city government. “Marumi City, Langaw Del Sur (Dirty City, Fly Del Sur) is the impression being thrown to Marawi,” said SWMB Board Chairperson Mokiin Malna.

OZAMIZ CITY, Misamis Occidental – The Ozamiz City Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC) has initiated, today, July 25, a city-wide clean-up drive in esteros and canals of the city. This is to un-clog the areas of debris and all other forms of waste thrown into the area, so that water brought in by the incoming rains can freely flow, Mark Vincent C. Israel, CDRRM Officer, said. “The move is actually one of the measures of mitigating and reducing the risks of flooding in the low-lying areas of the city, as an effect of climate change,” Israel said. “We have to accept that

climate change is ‘here to stay,’ and that the proper disposal and management of solid waste can be very helpful in adapting to it”, he said. However, Israel said, this would be the last time that the CDRRMC will initiate a citywide clean-up drive, as it has empowered all the Barangay CDRRM Committees to be the ones to initiate such moves in the future. “We are leaving up to the respective BDRRMC’s to practice the clean-up in their respective areas and make it as ‘their way of life,’ and an effective measure for climate change adaptation,” Israel said. Meanwhile, the

OZAMIZ CITY, Misamis Occidental – Some 1,000 Zumba enthusiasts participated in today’s “Zumbaklay” or Walk for a Cause, from the City Hall Ground towards Cotta Square, where the Zumba Marathon took place. Initiated by the City Nutr ition C ommittee (CNC), funds of P10 p er student and P20 per employee from the participants will be used for projects without CNC allocation, such as the Breastfeeding Month in August, this year, Lelita G. Navarez, city nutrition action officer (CNAO), said. Facilitated by City F i re Ma r s h a l l B ut c h

Davao medical facilities urged to dispose waste properly DAVAO CITY -- The City Health Office (CHO) here has urged medical facilities in the city to observe proper disposal of medical waste. Among the sectors that have caught the attention of the CHO are the birthing facilities, most of which do not have septic vaults. “Those who will indiscriminately throw their medical waste are in danger of violating Republic Act 6969,” said Robert L. Oconer, chief sanitation inspector of the health office. RA 6969 also known as the Toxic Substances a n d Ha z a r d o u s a n d Nuclear Waste Control Act was enacted almost 23 years ago but the proper disposal of medical waste is still a problem in the city with around 20 of the 304 registered healthcare facilities producing infectious wastes in the city availing of the services of RAD Solutions, the only authorized medical waste transporting company in the city. Among the hospitals that have availed of RAD Solution’s services are the Davao Medical School Foundation, San Pedro Hospital and St. John in Toril. “The city generates up to 40 tons of infectious waste every month but only 5.5 tons are disposed using RAD’s Pyroclave technology,” said Roderick Dayot, vice president for Research and Development of RAD Green Solutions Corporation. Most of the remaining infectious waste in the city are buried on the ground or thrown along with the other solid waste collected by the city’s garbage collectors as shown by the Talomo incident.

At present, the Southern Philippines Medical Center makes use of the expensive autoclave machine in the disposal of its medical waste even if the cheaper Pyroclave machine is already available. P yro clave is a fullyautomated and remotecontrolled machine that uses pyrolisis or “extreme thermal treatment to process medical waste.” It operates using a temperature of over 1,000 degrees Celsius and reduces mass and volume of waste by up to 95 percent and is even capable of treating and disposing body parts without producing carcinogenic compounds. The city is not however wanting on laws regulating medical waste considering that the Environmental Management Bureau has required all hospitals to register as hazardous waste generators in compliance with the provisions of RA 6969 which requires the registration of hazardous wastes generators, hazardous wastes treatment and hazardous wastes transporter to protect humans and the environment. Oconer said the Task Force has intensified its operations and found out that two of the five hospital inspected have violated the law on the proper disposal of medical waste. Of particular concern to the Task Force is the existence of birthing clinics that allow the parents to bring the placenta home which they later dispose of indiscriminately. The problem is that there is no law requiring hospitals to have their own septic vaults and this is one important aspect needed in order to force hospitals to dispose their medical waste properly.

Vista City will also have a 100-hectare university town that will house health facilities, a sports mecca and a country club. The property company is in advanced stages of negotiations with a hospital operator and two big schools to locate in the township. Also rising in the community is a hotel that will serve not only traveling businessmen but also families visiting the burgeoning district. In t he f i rst qu ar te r of 2014, Vista Land’s net income increased by 11 percent to P1.5 billion compared with a year ago’s P1.3 billion. Consolidated revenues reached P5.4 billion, reflecting a 12-percent growth from P4.9 billion in 2013.

with Holcim cornering 34 percent and Lafarge Republic’s share at 28 percent. Their combined market share will drop to 48 percent after the merger as the latter disposes some of its assets in Bulacan and Iligan due to regulatory constraints. “We follow all laws… Where we have big overlaps, doon nagdi- dispose.

reversal of the five-month surplus this year. The DOF blamed the wider deficit at end-June to government efforts to speed up spending. The government spent P201.1 billion last month, a 44 percent expansion from the P61.6 billion a year ago. This led the six-month spending to P987.7 billion, an 11 percent increase year-on-year. By contrast, revenues reached P138.6 billion in June, thus short of what the government needed for expenditures, thus the reversion to a deficit. For the first six months, revenues amounted to P933.7 billion, also behind the amount spent for the period.

Among the attendees of the meeting were representatives from the Ulama League (religious group), Philippine National Police (PNP), and members of the media. Representatives from U S A I D ’s E n h a n c i n g Governance Accountability & Engagement (ENGAGE) led by its communications specialist Luis Mendoza Jr. also graced the meeting. ENGAGE has been providing technical assistance to the city government in the implementation of its SWM program. Discussed during the meeting were the efforts of each sector to make the program successful. The religious sector through the Ulama Council integrates the value of c l e a n l i n e s s i n Is l a m i c teachings. They convince people by emphasizing that cleanliness is mandatory in Islam. They also discuss the health issues on garbage mismanagement in religious fora. DxSR Sallam Radio, on the other hand, has a program on air dubbed “Matanos a Marawi” which tackles the importance of cleanliness and other topics related to proper solid waste management. It also targets the youth by educating them on how to throw garbage properly. Philippine Information Agency (PIA) also expressed support to the program as it has just launched its newest advocacy on climate change “Nagbabago na ang Panahon, Panahon na para Magbago.” The advocacy campaign focuses on four priority areas

XCCA holds filmmaking workshop with Davao’s Orvil Bantayan by Stephen J. Pedroza

A

fter its recently successful screenplay writing workshop with multi-awarded artist Rody Vera, Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts (XCCA) hosted another workshop on Guerilla filmmaking with Davao filmmaker Orvil Bantayan on July 18-20 at Xavier University AVR 5. The event centered on the basic principles and technicalities of film production, alongside the challenge for the Mindanaons to be more visible and active in Philippine independent filmmaking industry. Bantayan, who was one of the jurors the 6th Cinemagis Digital Short Film Festival in Northern Mindanao, hopes that the workshop has inspired the participants to join the said festival in the coming years. The sessions of the workshop’s first day included the overview of the film production, writing scenes and dialogues and motivating actors. The workshop was participated in by more than 40 aspiring directors and film enthusiast from NorMin. The second day focused on cinematography—the visual language of film, from the amalgamation of lights, effects and movements—and a few postproduction processes such as color grading and sound designing. The participants had an on-field application on the third day of the workshop where they were asked to shoot some scenes on a particular location and the edited shots were shown during their closing program. For XCCA director Hobart Savior, this filmmaking workshop was aimed at discovering new talents who will join the roster Cinemagis filmmakers and to nurture storytellers not just from Cagayan de Oro City but also from other parts of the region. Over the years, some Cinemagis films were able to romped away national recognitions and even had an international exposure. During the workshop, Bantayan also related his personal experiences in film production and gave the participants some valuable pieces of advice. Aside from being a filmmaker, Bantayan is currently a videographer and editor of Alchemy of Vision and Light Film and TV Productions in Davao City. Bantayan has directed two films, “The Midwife” (2010) and “The Altar” (2012) under the Sand Glass Media Productions and he was also the production designer of “Sonata Maria” (2014) and “Gukod sa Hapak sa Balud” (2014).

stabilize power rates. “These power complexes are very important because they (electricity they generate) are sold at cheaper rates compared with those from privately run power plants,” he said. Mind anao has lower electricity rates than Luzon and the Visayas since it gets cheaper power from hydro plants that provide more than half the island’s power supply. June data from the National Power C o r p. ( Nap o c o r ) s h ow rates averaged P2.97 per kilowatt-hour (/kWh) in Mindanao, P4.57/kWh in the Visayas and P5.72/kWh in Luzon. For the Small Power Utilities Group -the National Power Corp. segment that covers remote areas, many of them are islands -- outside the c ou nt r y ’s m a i n g r i d - rates averaged P4.8/kWh in Mindanao and P5.6/ k Wh i n Lu z on and t he Visayas. Rehabilitation of the two complexes, estimated to cost P4.94 billion, is expected to be completed within a two-year period, according to the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) which is co-chair of the Mindanao Power Monitoring Committee. M i n D A s a i d rehabilitation of the two power complexes, with a combined total capacity of 260 megawatts (MW), will add another 90 MW to the

Mindanao grid in the next two years. Furthermore, MinDA said replacement of components of the two units of Agus 6 would bring in an additional 19 MW and extend the facility’s life span for 30 more years. Aside from power generation, rehabilitation of the flood control system for the Agus 1 and 2 plants will help mitigate floods in Balo-I, Lanao del Sur. A c h e c k w i t h M i n DA showed the Department o f P u b l i c Wo r k s a n d Highways has allocated about P1.72 billion for the flood control segment. At t h e s a m e t i m e , Napocor announced last week the start of the bidding process for the P18-million rehabilitation of Agus 4’s overhead crane. T he s ite of t he 2 5 0 MW Pulangi 4 plant needs to be dredged and a hybrid integrated turbine generator assembly installed to raise generation capacity by 16 MW. The Agus and Pulangi pl ant s are supp o s e d to be privatized under the Electric Power Industr y Reform Act of 2001, but Mind anao le aders have blocked the plan over fears of this would lead to higher power rates amid t he isl and’s i na d e qu ate capacity. A check with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines showed Mindanao with power deficiency, as an estimated peak demand of 1,306 MW outstripped a 1,245-MW system capacity.

R e m e m b e r y ou a re a great teacher’, in order to teach, you must be able to manage no matter how much potential you have as teacher, If you are unable to control the pupils in your classroom, little learning will take place. Classroom management is integral part of teaching and techniques of managing pupils both can and must be acquired by the teacher. Poor classroom management and discipline are widely considered major education problem among elementar y and secondary teachers. Yo u r p e r s o n a l i t y, philosophy and teaching style will directly affect your managerial and disciplinar y approach. There are effective approaches to classroom management and discipline you must adopt and coincide with your personal characteristic. The following are the methods of effective classroom management: 1. R e a d y the classroom space, material and equipment at t he beginning of the year. 2. Pl an r u les and procedures – Teachers make sure pupils understand and follow school rules. 3. T e a c h i n g i s systematically done. 4. S t r a t e g i e s f o r potential problems are planned in advance. 5. Monitor pupil’s behavior and academic achievement closely. 6. Stop inappropriate b ehav i or – D is r upte d behavior is handled

promptly and consistently before it worsens or spreads. 7. O r g a n i z e instruction – Teachers organize instructional activities at suitable levels for all pupils in the class. 8. C l a r i t y in instructions – Teachers provide clear instructions. These help keep pupils on the task and allow them to learn faster, while reducing discipline problem. Directions are clear, thus confusion is minimized. The following suggestions are for teachers applying discipline: 1. Clearly identify expectation. 2. Take position. Say, “I like that” or “I don’t like that”. 3. Use a firm tone of voice. 4. Use eye contact, gestures and touches to supplement the verbal message. 5. Give and receive compliments genuinely. 6. I n d i c a t e consequences of behavior and why specific action is necessary. 7. B e c a l m a n d consistent, avoid emotion or threats. 8. Persist, enforce minimum rules, don’t give up. 9. Establish positive expectations for pupils b e h a v i o r, e l i m i n a t e negative expectation about pupils.
