BANGKO Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) expects to complete its investigation on the technical glitch that hounded the internal system of the Ayala-led Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) by next month.

The technical glitch on BPI system on June resulted in chaos among account holders last June 7.

BSP Assistant Governor Chuchi G. Fonacier, of the Supervision and Examination Sub-Sector III, stressed that any penalty against BPI “would really depend on the nature of the situation.”

She said on-going BSP investigation on the issue may end “maybe around July.”

AVA O C i t y – A commercial real estate consultancy firm in the Philippines said that property developers and companies are not pulling out their investments in Davao City but acknowledged that the Marawi crisis and the declaration of martial law have put them in a “watch and observe” mode about coming to Davao City.

Property Interactive Marketing Enterprise (PRIME) Philippines founder and managing director Jettson Yu told “Wednesday’s at Habi at Kape” that the ongoing conflict in Marawi City between government forces and the Maute Group has affected the perception of investors on Davao but added they are not cancelling but only postponing their entry here.

“There is definitely an effect. But from our investors from Luzon, we did not get a clear signal that they will not push through observe/PAGE 11

A Scary Story Think a minute…Years ago there was a rich widow named Sarah. She inherited 100 million dollars! Sarah bought a house on 160 acres of land in California. She hired a team of 16 carpenters who continued working and enlarging her house every day for 38 years!

But Sarah’s instructions for building her house were very strange. For example, each window had to have 13 panes of glass. Each wall had to have 13 panels or boards.

The chandeliers had to have 13 crystal balls. Strange and scary pictures hung on all the walls. There were trap doors and many secret passageways.

And there was 1 blue room that only the widow Sarah was allowed to enter.

You see, this rich woman was building a home for the dead! Every night at midnight, a servant would go to a tower and ring a bell to call in the spirits of the dead.

Then Sarah would enter the blue room. This happened every night…for 38 years!

Finally, Sarah herself died at age 85. By the time of her death, her home for the dead had 160 rooms, 10,000 windows, and covered over 6 acres of her estate land.

So why did Sarah live her life for the dead? It was because she lived with

THINK

A Minute

Jhan Tiafau Hurst the terrible guilt of many deaths! You see, all of Sarah Winchester’s money and wealth came from the famous Winchester rifle.

Her company’s gun had been used to kill more Indians and soldiers than any other gun in America’s history. So because of her horrible guilt that haunted her every day and night, Sarah built her huge mansion for the spirits of all those people who had been killed by her company’s gun. Quite an amazing true story!

But the fact is we all are guilty of doing wrong, hurtful things to others. And we may try many different ways to get free from our guilty conscience. Yet there is only one way: we must admit our guilt to Jesus and ask Him hurst/PAGE 9

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… B u t m a r k t h i s : There will be terrible times in the last days.

People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, w it hout s el f - c ont rol, br ut a l, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than l ov e r s o f G o d …” ( 2 Timothy 3:1-4, the Holy Bible).

-ooo HERE’S A SPOILER FOR MANILA’S 2017 FOUNDATION DAY: Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, here’s something for you: Ludovico “Vic” Somintac, the Malacanang reporter of Radyo Agila’s DZEC (1062 kHz on the AM band), may have a spoiler for this year’s June 24 anniversary foundation of the City of Manila. ` In the Wednesday, June 21, 2017 episode of our radio program “ Tamb a l ang B at as at Somintac” (which airs daily at 6 am to 7 am at DZEC), he rante d against w hat he s aid was the rampant and unchecked criminality in the Intramuros area, t he or i g i na l “Wa l l e d City’, which is a place literally right under the noses of City Hall and of t he Mani la Police

Department.

Somintac narrated to our listeners how three young and disheveledlooking boys one late afternoon nonchalantly snatched f rom him a bottle of orange juice he purchas ed f rom a big depar tment store at the back of the City Hall, saying they w ante d w h at he w a s drinking, for themselves.

T h e s u d d e n n e s s an d brazenness of what the boys did left him speechless, unable to do anything right away, which gave the boys an opportunity to scamper unmolested.

-ooo CHILD CRIMINALS ROAM INTRAMUROS FREEELY: The juvenile culprits that assaulted Somintac appear to be residents of makeshift shanties that now fearlessly dot many open spaces in Intramuros, including the sidewalk fronting the National Mu s e u m a c r o s s t h e Intramuros Golf link, up to Bonifacio Drive near Manila Hotel.

The boys also obviously belong to a group of children---males and females---who roam relentlessly in the Walled City, regularly sniffing small plastic bags which evidently contain rugby, with evident impunity (incomprehensibly, no one minds them or even

accosts them at all).

They are a menace not only to the likes of S omintac who has to go the area regularly to fetch a daughter of his who is studying in one of the schools there, but more so to the hundreds and hundreds of people, Filipinos and foreigners alike, who have urgent matters to attend to in Intramuros.

They harass students and other people with demands for money or food to eat, and even vandalize the structures standing there, public and private. They also quarrel with each other ver y often, scandalizing not just passers-by but even those who are working or studying inside offices or classrooms.

-ooo O P E N PROSTITUTION CAN ALSO BE FOUND IN INTRAMUROS: But this is not all there is to Intramuros, Somintac said. He claimed that prostitution also appears to b e enj oy ing br isk business there, as it were.

During early mornings after accompanying his daughter to her school, he would see, much against his will he says, women of all ages and sizes (and a l l c o l or s , S om i nt a c incomprehensibly hastened to add) line up the streets of Intramuros, calling on possible

customers (which does n ot i n c lu d e h i m , h e claimed yet again).

What amazes Somintac is that, these women, like the mischievous children, do not even attempt to hide what they are doing.

The go on their ways, as it were, in full view of everyone, including City Hall and police officials.

Well, I surmise there is just one reason why no one from City Hall or the police is doing something here---maybe, they are profiting from the system.

Right? Or wrong? Mayor Estrada?

Loving the unlovable We need to b e ready for this difficult duty.

Christ commands us to love our enemies who can be described as the unlovable. They may not be those who offend us one way or another.

They can b e those who are so completely i r r e s p o n s i b l e , l a z y, hardheaded and abusive that their only purpose and business in life seem not only to be totally dep endent on us but also to continuously give problems to us.

They are like leeches that we cannot seem to get rid of. But yes, we have to love them just the same. Not only that. We have to love them more because, and not in spite of those conditions. Let’s remember that charity knows no bounds.

We may find no reason at all to love them. In fact, all our reasoning, our common sense and all other senses would point to hating them or, at least, to ignoring them. Our patience with

them may already have long run dry. We seem to have done everything for them, and yet they c ont i nu e t o pro du c e problems.

Still, in spite of these scenarios, we still are duty-bound to love them.

“Love your enemies,” C hr ist tol d us i n no uncertain terms. And he lived it himself, by dying for all of us. No rational or sentimental basis supp or ted such actuation. It was done purely in compliance with the Father’s will.

Wit h his de at h on the cross, he actually assumed all our sins, delivering death to our sins with his own death, and r ising f rom t hat death to give us a way of rising also from our own death due to sin.

And before his death, one of his last words was precisely to ask for forgiveness for thos e who crucified him, that in t he end are a l l of us and not just those directly involved in his

crucifixion. He asked forgiveness for all of us even if we have not yet asked for forgiveness ourselves. This is truly loving the unlovable.

That is how he loves us, and how we also ought to love one another, since he also told us to “love one another as I have loved you.” (Jn 13,34) It’s clear that we can only love the unlovable if we are truly and vitally identified with Christ, that is, if his spirit truly animates us. And this is actually possible and doable because Christ has given us all the means so that he and us can be one, living our life together.

Of course, we have to avail first of the spiritual and supernatural means that Christ has made available in abundance for this purpose. But we also need to do some drastic adjustments in the way we view or consider persons and things.

At times, we have to do battle with our own reason, with our own

HINTS

and

Traces

Fr. Roy Cimagala

common sense, our own feelings, instincts and preferences if only to allow the grace of God to work on us, enabling us to love the unlovable.

We j u s t h a v e t o reassure ourselves that by so doing we actually would be purifying and Christianizing these hu m a n f a c u l t i e s - o u r reason, will, emotions, instincts, etc. We would become more human, since to be truly human is to be like Christ, the very pattern of our humanity and the redeemer of our damaged humanity. roycimagala@gmail. com

In a disclosure to the stock exchange, the listed firm said it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with private institution Rusatom Int e r n at i on a l Ne t wor k (RAIN) on June 20 during the International Forum at ATOMEXPO 2017 in Russia.

The agreement stipulates that the two parties will plan to develop an economic, scientific, and technical cooperation in the field of the peaceful use of atomic energy. Both parties will further conduct a series of activities that will raise public awareness about nuclear

RAIN President Alexander Merten said the MoU was among t he ag re ements discussed during President Rodrigo R.

statement.

For his part, A Brown President and Chief Executive Officer Roel Z.

Car makers want perks for electric, e-vehicles production AUTOMOTIVE vehicle manufacturing groups have pushed for incentives to support the production of electric vehicles (e-vehicles) and hybrid vehicles in the country.

During the pre-event press conference for the 1st ASEAN Electric and Hybrid Vehicles Summit Friday, Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) President Rommel Gutierrez said providing fiscal and non-fiscal incentives would encourage more players to produce e-vehicles and hybrid vehicles here.

“I think we need support or incentives to bring in the technology. We will be pushing for incentives in Congress and Senate,” Gutierrez said.

He mentioned that the manufacturing of e-vehicles and hybrid vehicles will re quire imp or t at ion of technologies which have high tariffs.

“It’s not a direct fund from the government, but something that will encourage manufacturers to bring in the technology,” he added.

For t he p ar t of t he g ov e r n m e nt , B o a rd of Investments (BOI) Executive Director Ma. Corazon HaliliDichosa noted that the investment promotion agency had been very supportive to the industry by listing e-vehicle manufacturing and establishment of charging stations for e-vehicles in the Investment Priorities Plan (IPP).

“BOI, for the past IPP, also listed electric vehicles and charging stations as among priority industries that will be given incentives,” said Halili-Dichosa.

“We want to increase our participation in really contributing efforts of the whole government for an environmentally sustainable transportation,” she added. perks/PAGE 9

early three decades after they made their first appearance in a boutique store at Cagayan de Oro’s first ever shopping mall, the iconic British is back at the ground floor of Centrio Ayala Mall.

First snapped up by trend setting teens at Tito and Girlie Mora’s PADRINO Boutique store during the early 1990s, a much expanded line is now available from the first Dr. Martens boutique store which opened sans fanfare last May 27.

Dr. Martens, also commonly known as Doctor Martens, Doc Martens, or Docs, rank right up there with other globally recognized Brit design icons like the Concorde, Mini, Jaguar E-Type, Aston Martin DB5 (007’s ride in Thunderball and Skyfall, dummy!), the Supermarine Spitfire, Tube map, World Wide Web and AEC Routemaster bus.

Besides the flagship Mary Jane shoes which still sell like hotcakes (bilibid or not!), the new lines include the iconic AirWair, Re-Invented, Women’s, Kids, among others.

Docs are distinguished by air-cushioned soles (Bouncing Soles), upper shape, welted construction and yellow stitching.

The boots have been the choice of footwear among various groups in British culture: in the 1960s skinheads started to wear them, “Docs”, being the usual naming, and by the late 1980s, they were

popular among scooter riders, punks, some new wave musicians, and members of other youth subcultures.

The Dr Martens boot is one of the most famous and iconic shoes in the world, having been born in Germany by creator Klaus Maertens. The classic boot has been the footwear of choice for rebellious youth culture and has never lost its cool aura and divisive style. It’s been a constant symbol for fighting back against ‘the establishment”.

Dr. Martens’ appeal to people who have their own individual style but share a united spirit – authentic characters who stand for something. People who possess a proud sense of self- expression. People who are different.

On a stylistic level, Dr. Martens’ simple silhouettes allows their wearers to adopt the boots and shoes as part of their own individual and very distinctive style; on a practical level, their famous durability and comfort make them ideal for the unforgiving world of gigs and street fashion; and then finally on an emotional level, they are a badge of attitude and empowerment.

Dr. Martens were originally a modest

work-wear boot designed

by Dr. Klaus Maertens, who created a unique air-cushioned sole to aid his recovery from a broken foot. Using a salvaged cobbler’s last and a needle, Maertens made a prototype shoe and showed it to an old university friend and mechanical engineer, Dr. Herbert Funk.

The two went into partnership by using disused military supplies to begin producing their unique shoes. By 1947 they began formal production and within a decade had a booming business, mostly selling to older women.

In 1959, they decided it was time to advertise their revolutionary footwear invention in overseas magazines The Griggs company in England acquired an exclusive license to manufacture the boots branded as ‘Airwair’ which came complete with a black and yellow heel loop featuring the brand

name and the slogan “With Bouncing Soles” (based on Bill Grigg’s own handwriting). Taking its name from date of its inception, April 1st, 1960, the eight-holed 1460 Dr. Martens boot had arrived.

The 1960s – the decade in which the Dr. Martens boot was born – saw an unprecedented wave of change, new ideas, cultural upheaval and eventually social revolution. This radical atmosphere also witnessed extravagant and often exotic fashion, an odd backdrop for the birth of such a functional work-boot, but then Dr. Martens has always kicked against the norm.

Initially worn by postmen and factory workers, Dr. Martens’ first few years of existence was very much that of a £2 work-wear boot, selling solid quantities to Britain’s working classes. Then something incredible started to happen..

Without any warning or intent, Dr. Martens

were suddenly picked up by early multi-cultural, ska-loving skinheads – who proudly championed British working class style. Shortly after, Pete Townshend of The Who became the first high profile individual to wear them as a symbol of his own working class pride and rebellious attitude.

In so doing, both first generation skinheads and Townshend altered the course of the brand’s history, changing this functional work-wear boot into a subcultural essential.

The decade of glam, punk, Two Tone and early goth saw British youth culture mushroom into countless distinct tribes.

Each successive new tribe who adopted the boot subverted the style of the previous wearers – yet large sections of the anti-establishment underground continually championed Dr. Martens.

By the end of the decade the boot had become a fierce symbol of selfexpression at the very

heart of British youth culture.

With Britain plagued by anti-government riots and social resentment, youth culture rose up from the streets with yet more highly visual and individual tribes such as psychobilly, grebo and scooter boys.

Its history became closely linked to British youth cultures and their preferred musical genres such as the Mods (jazz, ska, reggae), Hippies (Beatles, Cream, Jimi Hendrix), Punks (Sex Pistols, The Clash, Ramones), Skinheads (reggae, ska, R&B, punk), and Grunge (Nirvana).

Grunge turned the mainstream music world on its head and took Dr. Martens along for the ride.

Back in Britain, Britpop rebelled against this socalled ‘loser kid’ apathy but did so in the same boots, the 1460.

The emergence of numetal and very early emo saw yet more new music genres adopt the boot. martens/PAGE 9

City health Office: WASH Program strictly implemented at the evacuation centers

I

ligan City- The local government of Iligan City has implemented close monitoring inspection on health and sanitation.

According to the office of the city health, the local agency of health has implemented Wate r S a n i t at i on a n d Hygiene program (WASH).

It’s has been 30 days since the Marawi siege happened, there were 3, 572 evacuees and counting excluding the home based evacuees from Marawi City that fled to Iligan city to seek refuge.

Most of these evacuees are composed of elderly, pregnant women and children that need medical attention and

supervision.

The city health office h a s i n i t i at e d ( WA S H ) Wa t e r S a n i t a t i o n a n d Hygiene program to treat and disinfe c t dis e as es, promote proper hygiene by teaching evacuees “how to” procedures on cleaning the place/ evacuation centers especially the bathrooms.

Fogging of evacuation centers for possible malaria and dengue attacks are already made to all the evacuation centers. Deployment of government doctors and nurses like in Barangay Buruun g ym and Iligan School of Fisheries also located at Barangay Buruun

as well.

Barangay Ma. Christina gym, Sta. Elena gymnasium and in Barangay Tibanga gymnasium have already their own assigned doctors and nurses.

Administrative Officer Letecia Barinan of the City Health Office said the local government of Iligan admitted that there are an inadequate number of doctors and nurses that would help to administer medicines and other concerns for the evacuees. Though t h e r e a r e v o l u nt e e r e d nurses and doctors came from neighboring cities who offered their services to help the city health office

conquered challenges that the local government is now facing, additional health professionals’ volunteers are still in-demand.

Barinan said the local government of Iligan city under the administration of Mayor Celso G. Regencia have allotted budgets for the gasoline and services in maintaining health sanitation at the evacuation centers such as the daily pull-out of human waste by the sanitary inspector and the cleaning of por table toilets and proper disposals of garbage.

NCCA, DOT launch KulTOURa mobile travel guide There is a new mobile app that can help tourists enjoy their stay in the country by giving them a better appreciation of Philippine culture and history. As a bonus, it’s great for students too.

This is the Kultoura Philippine travel guide app which the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Department of Tourism (DOT) launched today in collaboration with PLDT wireless subsidiary Smart Communications and InnoPub Media.

The Kultoura app features information on heritage sites, historic schools and churches, nature parks, popular attractions, famous landmarks and other mustsee places in various parts of the country. The app also contains colorful details of the history of selected cities and provinces, including their famous personalities, delicacies and other interesting trivia.

Av a i l a b l e a s a f re e dow n lo ad for Android and iOS devices, the app is continuously being updated to provide more relevant content and encourage travelers to explore the country. It will soon offer other services such as a chat bot, which can give automated travel advice; allow users to take virtual tours; and enable purchases via a digital marketplace.

Though initially designed

as an aid for tourists, the mobile app is also a handy resource for students. The comprehensive information fou nd on t he app c an help them gain a better understanding of the rich culture and history of the country.

“The Kultoura app was developed to help tourists and students learn more about Philippine culture and heritage. It may also be useful to foreigners who are interested in the rich history and beautiful destinations in our country,” said NCCA Chairman Virgilio Almario.

“We want to help travelers really enjoy and experience the Philippines by seeing for themselves the rich culture and heritage of our people,” said PLDT and Smart Public Affairs Group Head Ramon R. Isberto. “Innovations such as the Kultoura app are part of Smart’s efforts to enable foreign and local tourists to travel like never before.”

To enhance the tourist experience, Smart will also provide high-speed Wi-Fi and install quick response (QR) codes and NFC (near-field communications) chips on markers in selected areas to enable access to additional travel information via phone scan.

The Kultoura app, the tourist markers and the provision for high-speed connectivity are part of the Digital Tourism program, which was launched by

The launch of the Kultoura app was held at Rizal Park to commemorate the 156th birthday of National Hero Jose Rizal. Leading the launch were Smart AVP/Head of Community Engagement and Partnerships Gabby R. Cui, PLDT and Smart Public Affairs Group Head Ramon R. Isberto, NCCA Chairman Virgilio Almario, National Parks Development Committee Executive Director Penelope Belmonte, DOT Undersecretary for Oversight Function for Legislative Matters Falconi Millar, and InnoPub Media co-founder Max Limpag.

heritage sites. It has been implemented in destinations such as Baguio, Bohol, Albay, Dapitan, and Davao.

Meanwhile, NIMT Marawi Response thanked the responders from the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) for the assistance and advised them to always prioritize their safety and the general public.

MMDA also sent five units of solar-powered water purifier to be utilized for the expanded water rationing operations for the IDPs at Evacuation Camps (ECs).

DOH administered the water testing in said evacuation camps.

The NIMT targets to deliver potable water to all identified ECs thru its expanded water rationing operations with support from the Bureau of Fire Protection.

On the other hand, the NIMT will be expecting the arrival of contingent from Cagayan de Oro City and the Bureau of Fire Protection on June 19. (EOR/PIA)

world’s first dual-class, 86seat Q400 aircraft, in July.

“As we position ourselves for growth, we are pleased to be adding more Q400 to our fleet. We are thrilled about the opportunities that lie ahead, and we look forward to offering more capacity and improving connectivity in the region with comfortable, fast and efficient regional aircraft like Bombardier’s 86-seat turboprops,” PAL President and Chief Operating Officer Jaime J. Bautista was quoted as saying in a statement.

For his part, Bombardier President Fred Cromer expressed confidence PAL will benefit from the Q400’s “outstanding economics and performance.”

“The Q400 aircraft have help e d airlines around the world expand their networks, and capture new opportunities,” Mr. Cromer said in the statement.

AIRBUS DEAL Earlier this month, Mr. Bautista said the flag carrier is pushing back the start of delivery of its Airbus A321 NEO (new engine option) planes to January over issues with the engines to be used for the aircraft.

PAL has an existing order of 21 A321 NEOs, which was supposed to begin delivery

by November.

“Our first aircraft delivery of the NEO will be [on] January 2018 from November this year, so it’s three months delayed,” Mr. Bautista had said.

The new jets -- part of the A320 single-aisle jetliner family -- are usually flown short-haul but are more fuelefficient.

PAL’s announcement comes a week after Cebu Pacific said it is deferring the start of delivery of 32 A321 NEOs to end 2018 until 2022, “due to delays with the Pratt & Whitney engines selected to power the aircraft.” The planes were originally scheduled to be delivered starting September 2017 until 2021.

In view of the delay in the A321 NEOs, Cebu Pacific has said it is buying seven Airbus 321CEO (Current Engine Option) aircraft worth $812 million to address increased capacity requirements.

The Gokongwei-led airline said the seven A321CEO planes will be delivered starting March 2018.

Miss Villanueva 2017 T

he Municipality of Villanueva celebrated their 55th Charter Day last June 16, 2017. The Kaadlawan Festival is an annual festival celebrated every second week of June. It’s a celebration of thanksgiving for the abundant sources of electricity, the productive industrial resources, the precious gifts of nature, the beautiful wealth of culture, the bounties of agricultural harvest and the tranquility of united living.

Villanueva is a second class municipality in the province of Misamis Oriental. The presence of

companies like Philippine Sinter Corporation, STEAG State Power Inc., Cargill Philippines (Purina), CocaCola FEMSA Philippines and the recent operation of the FDC Misamis Power Corporation contribute to the municipality’s income although it is largely agricultural.

As message from Mayor Jennie Rosalie T. Uy, “We reap what we sow, so to speak. No actions could be more evident of our intent as we continue to care for our brethen who are in dire need and to prepare a bright future that we want for our children. Our beloved town

is standing on a solid ground.

It has continued to grow exponentially simply because of the visions and aspirations of our townspeople to become the industrial hub in the entire province of Misamis Oriental.”

Among the activities were: Kaadlawan Trade Expo Opening Ceremony First Mayor Jennie Rosalie Uy Cup (Inter-Barangay Summer Basketball League 2017) Kaadlawan Children’s Fair Unleash the Beast Kaadlawan Battle of Champions MindanaoWide Hip-Hop Dance Competition First Mayor Jennie Rosalie Uy Cup Inter-Barangay Men & Women Summer Volleyball Conference 2017 119th Philippine Independence Day Commemoration Search For The Cleanest & Greenest Academic Institutions Awarding Ceremony Kaadlawan Festival Queen 2017 - Search For The Best Kaadlawan Lead Dancer Local Government Night Inter-Barangay Retro Dance Competiton, Seal of Good Barangay Governance & Search for Cleanest & Greenest Purok Kaadlawan Mass Wedding Miss Villanueva 2017 - The Coronation Night

I always enjoy watching and, most of all, judging beauty pageants because I admire those women who have the willpower and confidence to

go up the stage and do their best.

First, we had dinner at the municipal office and I was lucky to be given my favorite Ube Cake, homemade from Villanueva.

It’s so good because it’s made with fresh ube halaya.

The show started at around 8pm at the gym full of people who were happy to be there to support their respective representatives from each barangay.

with their investments, but rather just postponing it.

Everyone is in a watch and observe mode,” he said.

Yu s a i d t h e y h a v e commended the city’s peace and order condition and encouraged investors to experience Davao, telling them that the city remains to be safe for investors amid the skirmishes in Marawi.

He said the city’s economic fundamentals have remained stable.

Yu said that if only the investors, either foreigners or those from Manila, could see for themselves what the locals are experiencing without the “exaggeration” they get from the news, then business should go as usual.

“Normally, what they see are protesters from Luzon complaining ‘stop martial law’,” he added.

Yu opined that most of the businessmen in the country’s capital have favored President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s declaration of martial law because it will effectively contain the terrorists and prevent them from launching attacks.

Duterte declared a 60-day martial law in Mindanao on May 23.

He claimed businessmen want martial law in place to be able to bring back normalcy in some parts of Mindanao amid the ongoing crisis in Marawi.

Yu said that all the developers and businessmen they talked to “wanted martial law in place because they feel that it at least stops terrorist attacks somehow,” whereas it would be difficult to catch terrorists if lifted. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

Mangoes... from page 1

Kidapawan and Cotabato.

She said the Tulunan Mango and Fruit Growers’

Association shipped carabao mangoes to Abu Dhabi early this month after participating in an international trade fair.

“We are hopeful that the other exhibitors in the region that we brought to different trade expositions will also seal similar market opportunities,” Casis said.

Rickson Olimpus, p r e s i d e n t o f Tu l u n a n Mango and Fruit Growers’ Association, confirmed they exported 500 kilos or half a ton of premium grade carabao mangoes to Abu Dhabi. “ This is our s econd shipment to Abu Dhabi after our trial shipment on May 22 where we sent 18 kilos,” Olimpus shared.

The Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Division (AMAD) and High Value Crops Development Program (HVCDP) of DA12 assisted the farmers in shipping the mangoes.

Evelyn Jaruda, an AMAD12 worker, said that the recent shipment of mangoes was the result of the participation of the region to the International Food Expo (IFEX) on May 19 to 20 held at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

During the expo, Olimpus and Mildred Curato Remo, manager of Fresh Harvest Foodstuff Trading LLC from Abu Dhabi, agreed on the mango shipment.

Together with the 500 kilos of mangoes bound for Abu Dhabi was another half metric ton of mangoes sent to Manila, Jaruda said.

Charlotte Tanoja, of B&C Healthy Snack Food, Inc. from Muntinlupa City, was the group’s linkage in Metro Manila, she added.

Olimpus said that he is now in contact with another food processor from Manila, whom he also met at the IFEX, for a possible mango supply deal.

“They are requesting around one ton of processed grade mangoes by the third

In a statement released Tu e s d ay, t h e B i s h o p s Ulama Conference (BUC) has expressed its solidarity with all the families and communities affected by the crisis in Marawi. The BUC was created in the late ‘90s to initiate dialogue aimed at improving understanding b e t w e e n Mu s l i m s a n d Christians.

“We join our voices for the safety and release of all hostages and innocent civilians caught in the midst of the ongoing conflict in Marawi,” said the BUC. The BUC has also joined hands with other groups and individuals who have initiated relief efforts for the families and individuals that have moved out of Marawi.

According to reports, the total number of the internally displaced persons who fled Marawi since the fighting started on May 23 has reached 252,282 individuals or 51,651 families.

According to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the total cost of assistance extended by the evacuees has gone to PHP 43.713 million, PHP 41.846 million of which came from the agency’s funds.

Of the total amount, PHP 27.475 million was allocated for food, and PHP 14.370 for

other forms of assistance.

Lanao del Norte, 2nd Distric t Repres ent ative Abdullah Dimaporo has called on his fellow Maranaos to help authorities in the fight against the Maute Group.

“We cannot allow nonMaranaws to destroy Marawi while they do not do the same in their own place.

Let us talk to our relatives who are with the Maute to break away from them and stop from destroying us. If they won’t, let us give information to the military as to who they are and where they are,” Dimaporo said in a text message.

He s aid t he mayors must guard their respective municipalities from the insurgents, and coordinate with the military.

The Maute Group has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, a Middle Eastbased terrorist organization whose primary purpose is to establish a caliphate in the Arab region.

The Maute Group, for its part, wants to make Mindanao the province of the Islamic State in Southeast Asia.

Fish... from page 1

This has partly contributed to a decline in overall fish production in Northern Mindanao for the period by 11 percent.

Total fish production in the region is only at 33,640 metric tons compared to 38,058 metric tons for the first quarter of 2016, consisting of produce from brackish water, freshwater, fish cages, commercial and municipal waters.

NEDA 10 sp e ci a list Clark Clarete also attributed decrease to the decision of some fisherfolk in Misamis Occidental to unload their catch in the Zamboanga region.

“O t h e r f a c t or s a l s o contributed such as the dry docking of many fishing boats in Camiguin and weather disturbances in Misamis Oriental. Another contributing factor was the strong water current in the Napocor reservoir in Bukidnon and the quarrying activities in some rivers, destroying inland fish habitat,” Clarete said.

Clarete likewise reported that seaweeds production declined due to siltation in Lanao del Norte attributed to weather-caused landslides.

“Some farmers were also discouraged to continue their rearing operation due to low buying price,” he added.

Meanwhile, palay production of Northern Mindanao exceeded its level for the first quarter of this year by 9.11 percent as compared to the same period last year, bringing the total production to 185,682 metric tons, translating to 1.3 million bags of total stocks.

Rice sufficiency for the inhabitants of Region 10 is at 83.7 percent, seven percent points higher than in the first quarter of 2016.

Clarete attributed the increase to both adequate irrigation and rainfall in the region particularly in Misamis Oriental and Lanao del Norte as well as availability of hybrid seeds coming from the Department of Agriculture (DA).

Corn production likewise

increased by 27.12 percent to 316,675 metric tons for the same comparative periods.

“Increases were more pronounced in Camiguin and Misamis Oriental for both white and yellow corn varieties due to favourable weather,” Clarete told local journalists during a press conference on the matter that day.

Northern Mindanao’s number one export, coconut and its by-products, lowered by 1.77 percent though.

Among t he co conut products exported by the region are activated carbon, coconut chemicals, coconut fiber, coconut cream, coconut milk powder, coconut oil, coconut husk, coconut shell charcoal, charcoal briquette, coconut water, copra cake/ meal, dessicated coconut, coco peat, fresh young nut, reduced fat coconut, sweetened coconut, toasted coconut, palm acid oil and palm oil-fatty acid, totalling 124,024 metric tons.

Other industrial crops such as sugarcane, banana and pineapple did not fare well too decreasing production by 16 percent.

But household consumables such as vegetables, rootcrops and fruit crops increased yield during the period.

Combined livestock and poultry production reached 20,586 heads, up 3.4 percent from the previous year’s level.
