The 90-meter bridge located in Barangay

No Place Like Home

T

hink a minute…It’s true, “There’s no place like home.” In fact, our whole identity, who we are and how we see ourselves, and others, mainly comes from our family. They say, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” The kind of life we live is largely influenced by our family. From the time we’re born it’s our family’s example we naturally follow.

Home is where we learn about love, life, and laughter. As someone said: “Happiness is home-made.” It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, because a small house will hold as much happiness as a big mansion.

But sadly, many homes are not loving and happy. As one sad guy said: “The first half of my life was ruined by my parents, and the second half by my children.” A best-selling book entitled, It Takes A Village, says that raising children is the job of the community. But the reason some people expect the government and community to raise their children is because their marriage and family has broken down. Millions of families are destroyed by divorce, adultery, greed for money, selfish parents who put themselves first before

Jhan Tiafau Hurst their own children, domestic violence, alcoholism, teenage pregnancies, drugs, and many other things.

The simple fact is there is no substitute for the family.

A child’s need for security, love, and acceptance from both parents will never change. God designed us all to grow up in a family with both a father and a mother who love each other and us without conditions, and who teach us right and wrong. This is the way our character is shaped and built so we become healthy, happy and successful.

But if you’re one of the millions who did not grow up in a happy, loving family, you can join a new family today by asking Jesus Christ to forgive you and take charge of your hurst/PAGE 6

P

eople p r e f e r t o believe they make their important decisions rationally, based on logical reasons and comparisons of options. But in fact, emotion is a powerful motivator behind human action – fear, desire, pleasure, envy.

How do effective messages combine emotion and logic to persuade and motivate the audience to action? A logical, persuasive message may confirm the reader’s choice of your product, but

emotion is the motivation to action.

A reader may have been thinking for some time about an important decision, such as consulting a financial planner for advice. But when you connect the reader with the sense of security that comes f rom having his finances in order, it will help him move forward with an appointment. Whatever you’re selling, when you make an emotional impact, you increase the likelihood that your audience will think it’s important to implement this solution now.

Use loaded language in product descriptions that assume the specific emotional content in a product or action. Words such as “delightful,” “simple” or “sleek styling” tap into emotions. As the reader identifies with the feeling, they are more likely to accept the message and to

take action based on it.

Use language that refers to basic needs, it brings the subject close to the reader’s own life. Love, security, health, money – these are core concerns that grab people’s attention. What effect does your product have on the things your re ader c ares ab out t he most? Two other important methods are related to the emotional support people seek from others for their decisions: First, knowing that many other people have already chosen this decision is compelling – this is known as the “bandwagon” effect or social proof. So include testimonials of people like them so that they can get a sense that they are not alone and can expect results from their decision.

Another social message comes from “snob appeal,” connecting with the desire of the target audience to be

better than others – more stylish, wealthier, more athletic or smarter than the average person. If you can create a sense of prestige or allure around your product or service, you’ll have more people seeking after it.

Once you’ve reached your audience on an emotional level, it’s time to bring in the logic: help them understand why your product or service is a good choice, a rational choice. While hooking them emot iona l ly is cr it ic a l, you can’t close the deal until they’re convinced it’s a logical choice as well.

Regardless of the message medium – traditional marketing, blogs, social media, articles, or books – remember to appeal to both emotions and logic for a hard-hitting message that gets results.

How do YOU appeal emotionally and logically to your audience?

Corruption in Sports

W

hen I was young (!), I really enjoyed being in active sports. Gymnastics ( he re e sp e c i a l ly d oi ng exercises on the horizontal bar/rings/mat) and handball.

Till today, sports is still an important topic for me.

Unfor tunately, corruptions in sports is getting more and more worst. Right now, world athletics braces for new doping scandals. The head of world athletics has said the sport faces a long road to rebuild trust.I am pretty sure it will be a very long and winding road. A report to be released within this week - investigating bribery, extortion and a doping coverup in track and field.

Ahead of what could be a damning report into

corruption and doping in world athletics, the head of the International Association of Athletics Federations ( IA A F ) s ai d ye s te rd ay (Sunday, November 8, 2015) that the sport would have to reform and rebuild trust.

“I’m angry about the position our sport is in today.

I’m shocked, I’m angered and dismayed. These are dark days,” IAAF president Sebastian Coe told AP. “We shouldn’t kid ourselves,” he added. “It’s going to be a long way back to rebuilding trust.”

The comments come as the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is set to release this report. Especially Russia is again making headlines. The report was triggered by a documentary

on G ermany’s national broadcaster ARD (Allgemeine Rundfunkanstalten Deutschlands) already last December, which alleged w i d e s p re a d d o p i n g i n athletics and some other summer and winter Olympic sports. The documentary hit Russia particularly hard, implicating Russian sports and anti-doping officials of bribery, covering up positive doping tests, falsifying tests and supplying banned drugs.

The Moscow lab implicated in the coverup did testing for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Socchi and is slated to do antidoping when Russia hosts the 2018 World Cup. Moscow hosted the track and field world championships in 2013.

Richard McL aren, a

Klaus Doring

Canadian lawyer who is on the three member inquiry team, said the report will be “a real game-changer for sport.” “This is a whole different scale of corruption than the FIFA scandal or the IOC scandal in respect to Salt Lake City,” McLaren said in comments published doring/PAGE 10

The Bible is a powerful healer

IFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart…” (Hebrews 4:12, the Holy Bible).

-ooo TIPS ON HOW TO AVOID FOOD POISONING: Food poisoning is again back in the news, as reports from Bgy. Vicente, Banga, South Cotabato, named nine people who ate cake from a relative’s birthday party Sunday night (November 08, 2015) fell ill, all of them getting dizzy and afflicted with vomiting.

They are said to have

already been restored in good health, but, as Christmas season is approaching, some reminders are in order to avoid being poisoned. First, always thank God for the food and drinks that are to be eaten and drank. Thanking God for the food and drinks means we acknowledge the generosity of God towards us.

Then, we should also ask that the food and drinks we will be eating and drinking should become the body and blood of Jesus, our God and Savior, in accordance with His command. We are told that if we ask that the food and drinks we eat and drink become the body and blood of Jesus, sickness will

not afflict us, allowing us to live longer lives.

-ooo THE BIBLE IS A POWERFUL HEALER: I commiserate with the family of former movie actress Amalia Fuentes, who was reported to have suffered a stroke the other week while she was vacationing in South Korea, causing her to be ill and bedridden. I can also understand the family’s appeal for prayers for her, to ask for divine intervention towards her healing.

That notwithstanding, I have a suggestion: Amalia’s family should endeavor to read the Bible to her while she is fighting for her life.

The Bible itself confirms,

L AND BANK of the Philippines (Landbank) saw its net income grow by more than a tenth in the first nine months of the year, boosted by the continued expansion of its lending business and gains from its investments in securities.

The state-owned bank posted a P10.27-billion net income in the January to September period, up 11% from the year-ago level of P9.26 billion, it said in an e-mailed statement on Tuesday.

Its nine-month performance, Landbank noted, exceeded its P9-billion income target for the period by 14%.

The bank said its net earnings translated to a 17.54% return on equity, or the net income earned as a percentage of stockholder investment -- a key measure of performance, while its net interest margin stood at 3.31%, both well above latest industry averages. landbank/PAGE 11

Legacy bank execs convicted for falsifying reports TWO former officials of a shuttered Batangas rural bank belonging to the controversial Legacy Group were convicted by a local court for submitting false financial reports to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.

Meanwhile, the Department of Justice has b egun t he preliminar y investigation of charges filed by the Philippine Deposit Insurance C or p orat ion on another closed rural bank, also in Batangas, for large-scale estafa (fraud), falsification of commercial

documents, and “conducting business in an unsafe and unsound manner.”

The Metropolitan Trial Court Branch 22 ordered Zacarias Carticiano, former president, and Jose Girlo Caramat, former comptroller, of the Rural Bank of San Jose (Batangas) Inc. to pay fines of P100,000 each, the BSP said in a statement Monday.

It said the convictions were the first from a wave of cases the BSP filed in 2009 against the officers of several banks connected

to the Legacy Group of the late Celso delos Angeles, who stand accused of using falsified documents and fictitious loans to siphon off funds.

In the case of the San Jose bank, documents signed

by Caramat in behalf of Carticiano and submitted during an inspection by the BSP in late 2008 showed a massive jump in the value of its properties from P7.29 million in August that year to P429.29 in September, or P413 million in only a month.

The bank attributed this to the purchase of five lots worth P3.79 million, which were then recorded under the bloated value in its books.

After the BSP inspection, RBSJI declared a bank holiday.

In its decision on September 16 this year, the court said falsification of the bank’s report was “consciously and deliberately made” to prove its supposed solvency.

The PDIC, in a separate statement, identified the charged former officials of the legacy/PAGE 10

NET INCOME of listed Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC) grew by over a fifth in the nine months to September as its thirdquarter earnings sustained previous gains on the back of the continued expansion of its main businesses.

The banking arm of the Yuchengco conglomerate b o oke d a P3.64-bi llion unaudited consolidated net income for the first nine months of 2015, up 21% compared to the P3.01 billion it earned during the same period last year, the bank told the Philippine Stock Exchange yesterday.

RCBC said its net earnings translated to a 9% return on equity, or the net income earned as a percentage of stockholder investment -- a key measure of performance, up from 8.56%, while return on assets -- or the net income as a percentage of total assets -- was at 1.1%, also up from 0.95%.

For the third quarter alone, the listed lender said it posted a P1.11- billion net profit, an increase of 11% from the year-ago level of P995 million. This was also up 20% from its secondquarter income.

The bank said its core businesses continued to consolidate, with net interest income reaching P11.46 billion as of end-September.

For the third quarter alone, its net interest income stood at P4 billion, 10% higher over the P3.66 billion reported last year for the comparable quarter, and up 5% from the April to June period.

“Annualized net interest margin (NIM) stood at 4.16% and remains one of the highest in the sector, notwithstanding the intense pricing competition and low interest rate environment,” the bank said in its regulatory filing.

RCBC’s outstanding loan book -- excluding interbank loans -- expanded to P280.85 billion with all market segments sustaining their growth momentum.

The corporate, consumer, and small and medium enterprise segments increased by 19%, 17%, and 27%, respectively for a total average loan growth of 19%, while microfinance lending through Rizal Microbank continued to advance with loan disbursements growing by 33% and outstanding loan portfolio increasing by 75%. rcbc/PAGE 10

Vice Governor Pelaez lauds swift action of DPW on request to modify school building plans M

Misamis Oriental Vice Governor Joey G. Pelaez

ISAMIS ORIENTAL – VICE GOVERNOR JOEY G. PELAEZ recently received a letter from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) informing him of its action on his letter and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Resolution regarding the incorporation of window grills in the classrooms which he authored.

In a letter dated October 22, 2015, DPWH Undersecretary Alfredo C. Tolentino informed Vice Governor Pelaez that the DPWH, thru their in-house consultants who prepared the latest standard plans of school buildings, conducted a coordination meeting with the Department of Education (DepEd) last October 16, 2015 regarding the matter.

“We are now in the process of preparing the necessary modified/

revision plans of school buildings incorporating not only the security window grills in every classroom but other design aspects like structural, sanitary/plumbing and fire protection system in compliance with the Fire Code of the Philippines,” said Usec. Tolentino in his letter.

He also assured the Sangguniang Panlalawigan and Vice Governor Pelaez that DPWH and DepEd are in constant coordination with regard to the improvement of school buildings design for the benefit of the youth.

“We, in the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Misamis Oriental, are happy for this swift action of DPWH. Indeed, our little voice was resoundingly heard by them,” Vice Governor Pelaez said.

It will be recalled that the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, during its

33rd Regular Session on 14 September 2014, passed Resolution No. 246-2015 entitled “Resolution Requesting DPWH to Modify School Building Plans and Designs to Include Window Grills in Each Classroom.”

The Resolution was made because it was seen that the existing designs no longer meet contemporary standards of safety and security of students and teachers, including school papers and important documents.

Vice Governor Pelaez said that jalousie-type windows have become ineffective in protecting school properties and documents.

It is also prone to breakage especially with children around, and teachers pay for it.

Vice Governor Pelaez hopes that the new building designs are safe and can provide a secure environment conducive to effective learning and teaching.

Admissions, OPD up in 8 provincial hospitals Patient admissions increased 23 percent while out patients department increased by 61 percent in eight (8) Misamis Oriental hospitals, from the first day of the year to date, the province’s Hospital Operation and Management System (HOMS) reported , Monday.

HOMS managers said several factors contributed to the increase particularly the heightened confidence level of residents on the provincial hospital system.

“Our people now are aware that whenever they go to our eight (8) provincial hospitals they arfe assured that one, there are doctors and trained staff to attend to them; two, there are available drugs and medicines in our pharmacies; and third, there is a zerobilling-zero-pay policy implemented by Gov. Emano,” Dr. Bebina Casino, provincial health officer said.

Another factor is the change of attitude towards health in general

brought about by the information22,053 and education campaigns conducted by the Misamis Oriental Care System (MisOrCareS).

Per periodic review, Dr. Casino reported a drastic change of attitude among front line health workers, particularly in dealing with patients.

“They got the message of the Governor when earlier he suspended several health workers who got negative reports from our clients. Now they are more careful and

courteous,” Dr. Casino added.

The HOMS has also established a system wherein lack of much needed medicines and drugs are easily monitored.

“This allows us to respond immediately and deliver these items within the shortest possible time,” Dr. Casino said.

She said that the wide acceptance of the MisOrCareS program of Gov. Emano has made the hospital system changed its focus to the out-patient department.

“You can feel the confidence of people when they come to our OPD, because it is for sure that they can bring home their needed medication without so much trouble,” Dr. Casino said.

From the start of the year to date, the provincial hospital of Gingoog has 5,148 admissions and 25 thousand OPD. The provincial hospital of Balingasag has 4,633 admissions and 16,550 OPD; that of Manticao has 3,094 admissions while OPD

has 24,957 OPD; while the provincial hospital of Initao has 2,946 admissions and 22,053 OPD. The provincial hospital of Claveria has 3,425 admission and 19,957 OPD; while that of Alubijid has 2,099 admissions and 17,774 OPD and Magsaysay has 1,795 admissions and 16, 578 OPD.

ENTURY Pacifi c Fo o d , In c . d re w strength from its branded business to grow its net income by a tenth in the three months ending September.

The countr y’s largest canned food manufacturer increased its consolidated net profit to P561 million in the third quarter from the prior year’s P509 million, a regulatory filing showed.

Consolidated net income amounted to P1.50 billion in the first three quarters of the year, up 22% from the P1.2 billion reported during the same period last year.

Consolidated net revenue rose 6% year-on-year to P5.88 billion in the July to September period, mainly dr iven by h i g her s a l es volumes for the branded businesses. Revenues went

up by 13% to P17.2 billion at end-September.

During the nine-month period, revenues from the branded business grew 15% on the back of better sales volumes across its marine, meat, and milk categories.

The non-brande d tuna export business, on the other hand, expanded at slower clip of 5%.

“The domestic branded business continued to be

bolstered by effective sales and marketing programs.

On the other hand, trading conditions were tough in the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) global export

Globe reports 34% hike in January-Sept. net profit AYALA-led Globe Telecom Inc. said Monday its net profit from January to September grew by 34 percent to P14.14 billion from last year’s P10.53 billion, boosted by its mobile and broadband businesses and the consolidation of the financial results of Bayan Telecommunications Inc. in the third quarter.

Core profit, which excludes the impact of the non-recurring items, onetime gains, foreign exchange and mark-to-market charges, rose 10 percent to P12.71 billion in the first nine months from P11.61 billion last year, Globe said.

Globe president and chief executive Ernest L. Cu noted that Globe sustained the growth momentum for the first nine months of 2015, “despite renewed challenges in the industry,” adding, “we have maintained our aggressive stance as we continue fortif ying our leadership in the digital

space.”

In the same nine-month period, Globe posted consolidated service revenues of P83.4 billion, or 15 percent higher than last year’s P72.7 billion.

The mobile business rose 9 percent year-on-year in revenues, posting P63 billion compared to P57.6 billion in the same period of 2014.

Officials attributed this to the strong contributions of all three mobile brands.

Globe Postpaid revenues were up 7 percent year-onyear; Globe Prepaid grew 8 percent.

Globe’s mobile subscriber base as of end-September 2015 reached 50.1 million.

This is 17 percent higher than the 42.9 million a year ago, the telco said.

This means the Word of God alone is a powerful and potent medicine. It can heal, it can strengthen our feeble bones and flesh, and can even cleanse our soul and spirit of our sinful nature. Of course, medicines and doctors can help, but it is actually God who holds each flesh and each drop of our blood in our bodies. Because He loves us so much, He is going to heal us!

His Word, and turn away from their sins, then God will listen from heaven, forgive our sins, and remove the curses in our lives.

If Filipinos will only care to discern what the Bible is saying about who should we install as our officials, particularly those who are to assume power in 2016, and obey the requirements laid down by it for choosing our leaders, it is a certainty that only the truly godly will be elected.

closed Rural Bank of Taysan (Batangas) Inc. as Belen B. Gutierrez (chairman of the board), her husband Nicanor T. Gutierrez (director), daughters Grace GutierrezBuencamino (president and director) and Shirley Maribel B. Gutierrez (director and assistant cashier).

The complaint, filed with the DOJ on October 14, accused the respondents of conspiring and taking advantage of their positions to make P3.8 million in unauthorized withdrawals from 2012 to 2014 and then attempting to cover this up by forging withdrawal slips or printing replicas of certificates of deposits then stamping these as paid to make it appear depositors had taken out the money.

When PDIC took over the closed bank, it found a cash shortage of about P4 million, of which P3.8 million were described as “personal advances” to the Gutierrez couple.

The cashier/treasurer of the bank said the advances were not listed as receivables from the couple on the instruction of their daughter, the bank president.

September period, or 48 percent more than the P10.2 billion reported a year ago.

As of end-September, Globe’s total broadband service revenues stood at P12.4 billion, with total subscriber base now at nearly 4 million.

Officials traced the growth in revenues to subscriber e x p a n s i o n i n w i re l e s s broadband (58 percent) and fixed broadband (49 percent).

Globe’s fixed-line data business grew 37% to P5.5 billion for the first nine months, from P4.0 billion in the same period last year. The expansion in circuit count and increased usage, combined with the impact of Bayan’s consolidation in the third quarter, was cited for this growth.

To support its growing subscriber base and demand for data, Globe said it spent P22.9 billion in capital expenditures as of the first three quarters of 2015.

Nearly 50 percent of the capital expenditures spent thus far went to ensuring that the data experience of customers are met, the telco said.

In all, Globe has 27,583 base stations - with 17,600 for 4G - to support customer service requirements.

T h e P D IC s a i d t h e respondents had submitted a promissory note acknowledging their P3.8million debt.

RCBC... from page 5

Meanwhile, despite the expansion of its lending business, RCBC said “enhancements in credit processes and measures led to the decline in the net nonperforming loans (NPL) ratio of the parent bank,” which stood at 0.27% in the period from 0.49% a year prior.

Its consolidated net NPL ratio was lower at 0.90% as of end-September compared to the year-ago level of 1.06%.

Its NPL reserve cover stood at 154.57%.

NPLs are obligations that remained unpaid for at least 30 days after their due date.

On the other hand, the bank’s other operating income expanded by 24.06% to P5.46 billion with gain on disposal of investment in amortized cost and securities trading gains contributing P1.44 billion.

RCBC’s total fee-based and miscellaneous income likewise “remained a major source of revenues” as it went up to P3.9 billion, higher by 25% and accounting for 23% of gross income.

“Improved contributions c ame f rom i nve st me nt banking-related fees which increased by 239%, bancassurance commissions which went up by 198%, and fees from loan-related transactions which increased by 50%,” the bank said.

RCBC’s total operating expenses, meanwhile, grew 7% to P11.1 billion.

Selection Process (CSP) for distribution utilities (DUs) when contracting power supply agreements.

Both agencies stressed that CSP “fosters transparency, enhances security of supply, and ensures stability of electricity prices to captive electricity end-users in the long-term.”

The Joint Resolution, which will be effective upon its publication in newspapers of general circulation, further provides t hat t he ERC shall issue the appropriate implementing regulations for the CSP. The ERC passed a resolution last Oct. 20 requiring the implementation of the auction system for power distributors seeking additional power suppliers after due study and consultation.

ERC Chair Jose Vicente B. Salazar said in the statement “the system is intended to enhance transparency in dist r ibutors’ purchas es of electricity from power generators, so consumers would benefit from the leastcost power bidders.”

Mr. Salazar explained that under the system, a power distributor may enter into power supply agreement (PSA) with a generation company only after complying with the requirements of the scheme. Only after two failed competitive selection processes may a distributor enter into direct negotiations.

However, PSAs already filed with the ERC before Oct. 20, 2015 are not required to comply with the auction requirements.

“The requirement for Least Cost Acquisition of power supplies by DUs is specifically provided for under Republic Act No. 9136 (The Electricity Industry Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 or EPIRA), but this was not strictly observed by the ERC under Chairperson Ducut,” Tauli noted. “The new ERC chairman is correcting a serious defect in the ERC regulatory procedures for power sales agreements (PSA).”

As a consequence, many electric cooperatives in Mindanao contracted with the FDC-Misamis 405-MW coal plant at Phividec at a price of 5.40 pesos per kWh, at a time when prices as low as 4.00 pesos/kWh were being offered by other coal plants, he added.

“If those anomalous contracts by the ECs with FD C-Misamis are not rescinded, power consumers in Mindanao will be paying an additional 1.40 pesos per kWh for coal generation starting December 2017, when the FDC-Misamis coal plant starts operation,” Tauli said.

“This would mean an annual extra profit (from the extra 1.40 pesos/kWh) in the amount of 4.22 billion pesos, or a total of around 105 billion pesos over the

25 years of economic life of the coal plant,” he noted.

Tauli added he deemed it “definitely worthwhile” for the MCPC to pursue the cancellation of those contracts with FDC-Misamis, and charging EC general managers and boards of directors with malfeasance (if that is the right term) for entering into PSAs that are grossly disadvantageous to their member-consumers.

DOE Secretary Zenaida Y. Monsada stressed that “the DOE and ERC are working closely together to create a proactive and dynamic environment for a sustainable electric power industry which balances the interests of the consumers and the industry participants,” following the issuance of Joint Resolution No. 1.

kWh, based on the approved purchase agreement.

The management of Socoteco II and SEC, a unit of Alsons Consolidated Resources, Inc., said residential and commercial customers can expect a reduction in their electricity bi l ls once t he plant is running and the agreement is implemented.

Socoteco II’s franchise a re a s c ov e r t h e s e v e n municipalities of Sarangani, Tupi and Polomolok in South Cotabato, and General Santos City where the present electricity rates are between P7.753/kWh to P7.901/kWh. These areas are largely agro-industrial, with fish processing and canning companies and a pineapple plantation of Dole Philippines, Inc. The electric cooperative currently sources its supply for the average 130-MW demand from the National Power Corp. through the main grid and from dieselfired plants, at rates higher than the p ower supply agreement with Sarangani Energy.

SEC announced last we ek t hat it wi l l st ar t synchronizing its first unit with the Mindanao grid by December and commercial operation is targeted within the first quarter of 2016. The Alsons firm also announced that it will start constructing the second 105-MW unit by the second quarter of next year.

All of the 210-MW capacity is already contracted by several electric cooperatives and two distribution companies in various parts of Mindanao.

These include co-ops in Agusan del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao del Norte, North Cotabato, Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur and Misamis Oriental. The private firms are Cagayan Electric Power and Light Co., Inc. and Iligan Light and Power, Inc., both in Northern Mindanao.

The Sarangani Energy plant in Maasin town will be the second to be connected to the Mindanao grid after

the first 130-MW coal-fired unit of Aboitiz Power Corp.’s Therma South, Inc. (TSI), which stated operating in September.

T SI a ls o announce d that it is putting online its second 130-MW unit in the first quarter of next year after encountering a delay earlier this year due to the April 5 Mindanao-wide grid problem.

The TSI plant, located at the border of Davao City and Davao del Sur province, has a total capacity of 300 MW and the company plans to expand it to 645 MW. The Sarangani and TSI projects are among those approved and implemented after the passage of the Electric Power Industr y Reform Act in 2001.

year, rising 19-percent on its consolidated net income to P685 million from 2014 level of P574 million.

That was even against the backdrop of lower income logged by parent at P275 million from January to September compared to last year’s healthier outcome of P307 million.

“The decline (in parent i n c o m e ) c a m e f ro m a revaluation of the dollardenominated debt registered at parent level coming from the recent weakening of the Philippine peso versus the US dollar,” publicly listed Alsons has noted.

It e m p h a s i z e d t h a t “without this non-recurring loss, parent income would have been P474 million for the nine-month period, 54-percent higher than last year’s net income attributable to the parent.”

O vera l l t houg h, t he Alcantara group has noted that revenue stream from its optimally utilized plants had been brisk during the review period – that was amid marked decline in electricity rates.

“Despite the lower price indices used in computing tariffs for the period, net income still increased due to the higher dispatch of electricity sold by three diesel-fired power plants,” Alsons has reiterated.

These generation facilities include the 103-megawatt Mapalad Power plant in Iligan City; the 100MW Western Mindanao Power plant in Zamboanga City; and the 55MW Southern Power plant in Alabel, Sarangani province.

Landbank... from page 5

Landbank President and CEO Gilda E. Pico attributed the growth in the bank’s earnings to “increased income from loans and investments.”

The bank’s gross loan portfolio grew 21% to P441 billion from P362 billion, while investments went up 11% to P304 billion from P274 billion at end-September.

Total deposits with the bank rose to P991 billion, growing 27% from P782 billion in the same period last year, while Landbank’s capital stood at P77.3 billion.

Landbank’s total assets as of end-September also expanded by 25% to P1.14 trillion from the year-ago level of P911 billion.

Given the latest results, Ms. Pico said in the statement she is “confident that the bank would surpass its 2015 net income target with the aggressive expansion of its lending and investments businesses, and increased revenue through traditional and non-traditional sources.”

“We hope to finish 2015 strong with greater focus on strengthening our core business s eg ments and assisting our mandated and priority sectors. Our efforts are geared towards contributing to the government’s goal of promoting sustainable development and financial inclusion, bringing financial services to underserved and unbanked areas,” Ms. Pico was quoted as saying.

Landbank is the only bank present in all provinces in the country, with 357 branches and 1,466 automated teller machines nationwide as of end-October.

The state-owned lender remains the biggest credit provider to small farmers, fishers, local government units, and micro, small, and medium enterprises among government financial institutions.

indy PaciaMadduma, a registered nurse from Palawan, is handpicked by the Miss Scuba Philippines team to represent the country in the coming Miss Scuba International pageant on November 27 in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

Madduma is a nursing graduate from Palawan State University and was working as a private nurse before she flew to Manila to try her hand at the

beauty pageant world.

Through her hard work and constant training, she won Miss Global Philippines 2014 - Tourism Ambassador

and she got to represent the country in the international pageant Miss Tourism World 2014, held in Caracas, Venezuela.

The 27-year old beauty queen will be flying to Kota Kinabalu Malaysia next month to be able to have the privilege to vie for the crown during the two-week international pageant, with a culminating pageant night on November 27, 2015.

The Miss Scuba International pageant, with its mission “Saving Oceans through Beauty,” started in 2011 and is founded by Mr. Robert Lo, who is a strong believer in sustainable development within the realms of the marine environment.

Lo hopes that the pageant will enable more people to understand how fragile the oceans are and how to make a big difference by protecting it. Thus the pageant’s focus highly revolves around marine and ocean conservation.

The closest that the country ever got to bringing home the crown was last 2013, wherein Miss Scuba Philippines 2013 Paula Bernasor won 1st Runner-up coming in

he luster of the 22nd Graduation program of Cagayan de Oro City’s leading culinary and baking institute shone with an even brighter glitter following its recent triumph in Kumbira 2015.

Held last September 27, 2015 at the posh Xavier Sports and Country Club, the evening rites seemed brighter with the sheen brought by its first ever Overall Championship in the 18th edition of the country’s largest culinary event outside Metro Manila.

Jan Michael Uy, MKA and Monster Kitchen CDO general manager, said the school decided to focus this year on the students following its unprecedented threepeat as the Kumbira Overall Champion in the Professional Category from 2012-2014.

“This is the first time that we’ve won in the student category,” Mr. Uy said. “We’ve been overall champion for the professional category for three years in a row, from 2012-2014 and we’ve decided to focus on our students this time.”

Besides garnering the overall c h a mpi on s h ip, M KA a l s o w on g o l d s for Creative Cake Decorating, Salads & Sandwiches, silvers in the Artistic Bread Showpiece and Chef Wars (where students and professionals competed on the same playing field for the first time), and bronzes in Pica-Pica Platter, Plated Dessert, and a diploma in Sugba de Oro Platter with Condiments.

Jan Michael Uy, MKA and Monster Kitchen CDO general manager, said the school decided to focus this year on the students following its unprecedented threepeat as the Kumbira Overall Champion in the Professional Category

from 2012-2014.

“This is the first time that we’ve won in the student category,” Mr. Uy said. “We’ve been overall champion for the professional category for three years in a row, from 2012-2014 and we’ve decided to focus on our students this time.”

Besides garnering the overall championship, MKA also won golds for Creative Cake Decorating, Salads & Sandwiches, silvers in the Artistic Bread Showpiece and Chef Wars (where students and professionals competed on the same playing field for the first time), and bronzes in Pica-Pica Platter, Plated Dessert, and a diploma in Sugba de Oro Platter with Condiments.

It was a worthy follow-up to the MKA Silver Medal finish in the overall championship in the 17th Kumbira with 2

golds, 2 silvers, 1 bronze and 1 diploma in the hotly contested Student Division.

On top of its triumph in Kumbira 2015, the MKA faculty showed where the heart, guts and savvy from that came from by holding the MKA banner high at the Philippine Culinary Cup 2015 held August 5-8, 2015 at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

Chef Cathy Dano garnered a silver medal in the US Pork Category for her Sous vide cooked pork loin filled with mushrooms, cave aged gruyere cheese and herbs with gratinated bramata mais polenta, while Chef Rachel Baclay-Ng bagged a bronze medal in the pastry competition with her three-tiered fondant cake decorated with paintings of sugar paste flowers, gum paste couple topper with piped string

And that’s no fluke as the team of Chefs Cathy Dano, Albert Chiu and Ramon Cárdenas, Jr. also had a sparkling silver medal finish at the Chef Wars Battle Royale of the 2014 held Sept. 23-24 last year at the World Trade Center in Metro Manila..

For its 22nd graduation program, MKA graduated its 10th and 12thbatches of MKA Culinary Arts (FCA) with 13 graduates, and 20th, 22nd, 23rd and 24th batches for MKA Baking and Pastry Arts.

(FBPA).

“MKA taught you leadership, professionalism, respect, hard work, and humility,” said Chef Cathy in her words of gratitude to the graduates.

“We chose this path knowing the profession we’re in is not a piece of cake. It is only our skills

and passion and love for what we do that makes it possible to provide the guest with an incredible experience.”

MKA offers two flagship programs which give the student three options on how to take it: 4 months (2x a week) or 6 months (every Sunday).

Maximum class size is 16 though the average class size ranges from 10-12 students.

Besides learning the art of baking and culinary, students also get hands-on immersion by creating an event in consortium with MKA’s sister company Thai Me Up/Fil Me Up through which they undertake everything from the planning, cooking, and selling their own event.

The MKA Baking

and Pastry program is on-going. The tuition package includes MKA Chef ’s Jacket, Cap, Apron, Bag, Recipe Kit, Wilton Cake Decorating Kit and all baking ingredients.

The MKA Culinary Arts tuition packages include MKA Chef ’s Jacket, Cap, Apron, Chef ’s Knife Set, Binder and Bag. The tuition covers all cooking ingredients all throughout the course.

However, for those who don’t have the luxury of time, MKA offers an Intensive 12-day Intensive Workshop for both Baking and Culinary. Batch 5 for Intensive Baking starts November 23 on a MWF schedule 5-8 pm. Schedule for the Intensive Culinary will be on November 20, 2015 every Friday, 2-6 pm.

Modern pig-raising brings new challenges, opportunities to farmers Modern pig farm operations around the world today have contributed significantly to ensure food sufficiency for billions of people and more opportunities to increase f a r m e r s’ i n c o m e s , b u t along with these come new challenges, too, according to animal health experts.

One of the drawbacks nowadays is the use of concrete flooring in modern pens because they deprive the pigs, especially young pigs, of one of the most vital and essential minerals – iron – which would have been readily available and accessible from natural soil.

As a result, iron has become one of the most important

mineral supplements in raising new-born pigs because they require high amounts of iron to help ward off anemia and infections that could result to stunting and even death.

Dr. Allen Valdeavilla, Te c h n i c a l E x t e n s i o n Ve t e r i n a r i a n o f Un i v e t Nu t r i t i o n a n d A n i m a l Healthcare C ompany or UNAHCO, said while piglets have a reserve of 40 mg of iron upon birth and could get about one to two more milligrams from the sow’s milk every day, the total reserve iron could last only for approximately four days given the new-born pigs’ high iron requirements for growth.

“It is thus imperative to give

new-born pigs a 1ml (100mg) iron supplement injection on Day 3 after birth, which should support their high growth rates during the next 10 days and avoid anemia that could lead to infections and stunting,” Dr. Valdeavilla said.

He said a second 1ml iron supplement shot should be again administered on Day 14 to ensure high survivability of the piglets, increase their w e i g ht a n d k e e p t h e m infection-free until they are ready for weaning.

Dr. Valdeavilla said one of the best iron supplements in the market today is Univet’s Jectran Premium which is the only one fortified with zinc, another essential mineral that

helps improve resistance from diseases.

Aside from zinc, he said each 1ml formulation of Jectran contains 100 mg of pure high grade iron as well as Vitamin B12 and cobalt that helps ensure fast growth and high survival rates for piglets which translates to higher income for swine raisers.

“Anemia is a sad reality for swine raisers because most of our pig pens nowadays have concrete floors that deprive pigs of natural iron from the soil,” he said. “That is why it is essential to give the right iron supplements to fight anemia and stunting to ensure a profitable farm operation,” he said.
