Tienda expands to Marawi, Lanao THE MINDANAO Development Authority (MinDA) is expanding its retail outlet livelihood project in Marawi City and other parts of Lanao del Sur. In a statement, MinDA said it is partnering with non-government organization Plan International for the inclusion of Tienda under the Livelihood Opportunities in Villages for Economic Upliftment program. “In a meeting with Plan International officials, I emphasized that success of these projects should be measured in terms of the reduction of the poverty incidence in the area,” MinDA Chair Emmanuel F. Piñol said. The Tienda project was initially launched for those affected by the series of earthquakes last October in several towns in Cotabao and Davao del Sur. In Lanao del Sur, MinDA will assist organized women groups “in starting a community store which would offer basic household needs at prices lower than in the market,” MiNDA said.

Lower cap for power rates THE Energy Regulation Commission (ERC) is looking at a lower secondary price cap (SPC) in the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) to counter spikes in electricity prices. It recalculated the secondary price cap in the WESM at PHP4,502 per megawatthour (MWh) from the existing PHP6,245/MWh. Commissioner Catherine Maceda said the intention is not to unreasonably stifle the market growth but instead to come up with a better competition to happen.

Bugo-based coop granted taxi franchise

By MARK FRANCISCO

AGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board 10 (LTFRB RFRO10) has granted and issued Provisional Authority (PA) to the 60 units of the Bugo Taxi Operators and Drivers Incorporated (BUTODI), a corporation that applied for extension of validity with substitution of units and consolidation of cases of its Certificate of Public Convenience under MC 2018-010 filed on JULY 10, 2019. The PA authorizes BUTODI, which transformed from an association into a corporation, to operate Taxi Aircon Service for the transportation of passengers on the line covering Cagayan de

Oro City to any point in Region 10 accessible to motor vehicle traffic and vice versa, under the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP). The PA is valid from Nov. 23, 2019 until June

30, 2019, within which all of BUTODI's units must comply with the Omnibus Franchising Guidelines (OFG) set under LTFRB Memorandum Circular 2017-011, Board's Memorandum Circular 2018-008 and Consolidation of Franchise Holders in compliance with Department Order No. 2017-011 and the PUVMP. Under the PUV Modernization Program, all public utility vehicles, including taxi cabs, must be equipped with dashboard cam/cctv, free wifi, Global Positioning System (GPS), Automatic Fare Collection System

(AFCS), speed limiter, and lay over/garage, and, for taxi cabs, ride-hailing app with company provider authorized by LTFRB in their respective regions. BUTODI President Arnold Cubero presented over the weekend the 60 taxi units to LTFRB

RFRO-10 Regional Director Aminoden Guro, who in turn acknowledged and issued the PA in a simple ceremony, at the Pueblo de Oro Park, Upper Carmen, this city. Director Guro said the PA for BUTODI is part of the PUV Modernization

Program and will partly address the issue on colorum vehicles, resulting from the moratorium of franchise issuance, which was lifted by MC 2019-014 that allowed Cagayan de Oro City an additional 250 taxi units. PR

Piñol calls for complementation among BIMP-EAGA members DAVAO City -- The head of the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) has asked members of Brunei Darussalam Indonesia Malaysia Philippines East Asean Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) to complement instead of competing with each other. Secretary Emmanuel Piñol made the call during the BIMP-EAGA Senior Officers and Ministers Meeting in Kuching,

Malaysia on Sunday, where he urged the regional bloc to cooperate --especially the issues on the prices of palm oil products. In his Facebook post on Monday, Piñol said the regional bloc should work based on "complementation and not on competition" to face the strong lobby waged by other vegetable-oil producing countries. “This lobby, especially in Europe, has resulted

in the very low palm oil prices, which also adversely affected the coconut industry,” he pointed out. Piñol said that during the meeting, he proposed the creation of the BIMPEAGA Palm Oil Council to represent the interests of all palm oil farmers in the region and initiate a concerted effort to promote the product. Aside from this, the MinDa chief also proposed that BIMPEAGA members create a "virtual common production strategy and common market" aimed at complementing each other's production potentials and identify what the region needs, which the membercountries can supply. “There are, however, issues which have to be resolved, among which are the absence of logistical services and the restrictive policies of some member countries on the entry of agricultural products from CALLS/PAGE 19

The gifts that count Think a minute…I know a woman who gets sad when her husband sends her roses! She says: “The only reason my husband gives me flowers is because it’s Valentine’s Day and he thinks he’s expected to. I’d much prefer for him to show his love in the way he talks to me and treats me every day. I wish he’d do the little things like helping me with the kids, taking me out on a date, or just spending some time alone together. I’d be happy if once in a while he’d thank me for all the daily work I do like cooking his favorite food or washing his clothes.” A n o t h e r w o m a n ’s husband was absent-minded and always forgetting her birthday as well as their wedding anniversary. When her friends asked her what she did on her birthday, she told them that he forgot again. However, then she added: “But last evening we took a long walk together and talked; and that meant much more to me than getting a gift just because it’s my birthday and he was expected to.” M a ny c h i l d r e n b u y

We lose as one

WE WIN AS ONE, this is the official watchword of the 2019 SEA Games. But before the Games will formally open a few days from now, it seems we are already losing as one host nation. Arrival and billeting including food preparations in hotels for visiting officials and athletes had hit a snag, thanks but no thanks to the organizers led by POC, PSC and PHISGOC. Having said that, no amount of apologies and f i nge r p oi nt i ng c ou l d c ove r up t h e app are nt i n e f f i c i e n c i e s f ore i g n

delegates have experienced upon their arrival in the country over the weekend. To let them wait for about 8-9 hours at the airport and whisked them in the wrong hotel is no laughing matter. First impression lasts. Athletes from Cambodia, Myanmar, Timor-Leste, and Thailand had suffered inconveniences even before the start of the Games. S ome of t he a l lege d problems consisted of transportation, accommodation, and travel issues. All these were treated in a shabby manner from a host country being touted

as the economic tiger of Asia. Be that as it may, let us take a closer look at how our frontrunners of the Games play their respective roles. The PSC, along with the DBM – Procurement Service, is the main implementor of the funding and public procurement aspect of the Games. O n t h e ot h e r h an d, PH I S G O C is pr i mar i ly responsible for the planning and actual preparations, organization, management and execution of the hosting of the 30th Southeast Asian G am e s w h i l e t h e P O C

God predestines no one to hell ONE burning question many people ask is, if God is truly God and knows everything from all eternity, why does he still create a person when he would already know that that person would end up in hell? Does he not predestine that person to hell? The answer, of course, is a big No. God predestines no one to hell. If one gets to hell, it is because of him rather than because of God who will do everything to save that person. His mercy is forever, but we, with our freedom, can manage to reject that mercy, to reject God definitively. It may be difficult to imagine that a person can definitively reject God, given our weaknesses, but it is still possible. That’s why there is hell, as revealed in the gospel. Hell is not just a literary device to scare us and to pressure us to behave well. It’s purely God’s love, his goodness, his desire to share what he has with us that makes him create all of us irrespective of whether we reciprocate his love or not. To be sure, God loses nothing if

we choose to lose ourselves from him. We are just being given a chance to be with Him for eternity, with his help. But God will continue to love everyone. As St. Paul would put it, God “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (1Tim 2, 4) He loves everyone, including those in hell. In a manner of speaking, he cannot help but love everyone because he is love himself. (cfr. 1 Jn 4, 8) And since we are supposed to be the image and likeness of God, we are supposed to reflect and assume that same attitude toward everybody else. We need to love everyone, including our enemies as Christ himself told us, because God loves everyone. This can mean many things in practical terms. It can mean, for example, that we have to be understanding of everyone, always charitable, quick to forgive, willing to suffer and even to die for the others. It can mean that we should not be judgmental and that we try to find excuses for the defects and mistakes of

the others. And more than condemning others for their mistakes, our attitude should be to help them. When we are humbled by others and even offended, we should avoid fighting back, imitating the example of Christ who, according to St. Peter, “did not retaliate when they heaped abuse on him. He made no threats when he was made to suffer, but entrusted himself to the One who judges justly.” (1 Pt 2, 23) Given our human condition, wounded by sin, we really would need to train ourselves thoroughly to acquire this attitude and spirit of God especially toward those who not only do not reciprocate our love but also who contradict and offend us. Of course, we would depend first of all on the grace of God which is actually given to us abundantly. Just the same, we have to ask for that grace and correspond to it as faithfully and generously as possible, so we can have the same spirit as Christ, as God wants us to have.

HINTS AND TRACES

ROY CIMAGALA Toward this end, we have to learn to suffer, even to the extent of suffering the way Christ suffered and died to achieve our salvation. We should not be afraid to go through some extreme sufferings, because a lot of blessings can definitely come to us. God cannot be outdone in generosity. If we are generous with him, he will be much more generous with us. God’s love is such that he is willing to suffer and die for us as shown by Christ. That is how we should be, how our love for others should be. If God predestines no one to hell, neither should we condemn anyone definitively.

Navigating the perfect storm (Last part) The biggest differentiator between families that last and those that fall apart is open, honest, transparent communication and that me ans gett ing into t he challenging governance process of managing the emotional overlaps starting with the family, business and ownership ecosystem. Notwithstanding that a family enter pr is e, by definition, is one where there is an intention of keeping control within the family, the challenges of successfully perpetuating a family business remains to be a daunting task for family members. The most important hurdle is overcoming the saying that “wealth only lasts for three generations.” I am sharing part two of last week’s article: 3) Make an honest and realistic assessment of your gene (family) pool You m ay w ant you r first-born son to run the business, but does he have

the commitment or even the interest to do it? Is he passionate and have the requisite skills to grow the enterprise? The key is evaluating the strengths of all possible successors and not just the first born offspring. Whatever the outcome, it is important to continuously recruit the best professional talents so that in the event a key business leader dies or becomes incapacitated or the successor underperforms and falters, the business will not be compromised. 4) Fair is equal, equal is never fair. Equal shares in the Business is discouraged While equality is a nice idea in theory, it may not be in the best interests of the business. It may be better for the successor that has been chosen to have a larger share of business ownership than other family members who are not active in the business. Another possible option that you can incor p orate in t he

shareholder’s agreement is to impose voting rights for family shareholders who are active and non-voting rights for those not active. 5) Institutionalize a Family Training Of f ice for successors and next generation members Quoting our training partner in Asia, Excellence in Education (ExcED), and “if you think education is expensive, try ignorance!” How can you expect the next generation members to take over and run your business successfully if you haven't spent any investment in educating him or her on the rudiments of leadership and management? These two interventions will propel the growth of the business. 6) Get Professionals to Implement the Succession Plan A qualified family business coach can guide the family business in the succession process. Our firm has even created a dedicated team comprising

PROF. ENRIQUE SORIANO former senior executives to take the lead in helping operationalize a successful succession plan. If t he intention is to handover your family business to the next generation, putting off business succession planning is the worst thing you can do. A good succession plan can ensure that shared family and business vision and values are aligned. 7) Cho osing a NonFam i ly Profe ss i on a l a s Successor When family members are not qualified or too STORM/PAGE 19

TWO IN A ROW:

FDC Misamis MisOr’s top taxpayer anew

F AWARD.Governor Bambi Emano,7th from right, alongside provincial board members, shakes hands with FDC Misamis Power Corporation (FDC Misamis) President and CEO Juan Eugenio Roxas as he personally handed the plaque of appreciation to the latter after FDC Misamis was named as number one real property tax payer in the Province of Misamis Oriental this year in an ceremony held at the Capitol Grounds. photo provided

OR the second time, Filinvest’s power arm, FDC Misamis Power Corporation (FDC Misamis), was hailed and honored by the Province of Misamis Oriental as its number one real property tax (RPT) payer for the 3rd Quarter of the calendar year 2019, in an awarding ceremony held at the Capitol Grounds in Cagayan de Oro City on Monday. The Gotianun-led power firm registered a total payment of P59,122,735.22 in the first three quarters of the current year, records from the Provincial Treasurer’s Officer read. Last year, it also ranked number one with P60,698, 039.72 in total payment. Elated by the award, Juan Eugenio L. Roxas, the firm’s President and Chief Executive Officer, expressed words of gratitude to the Provincial Government of Misamis Oriental, "We are very grateful to the local government. This recognition inspires us to continue to pay not only the correct taxes but to pay on time." “We are proud that we have been recognized as the top tax payer during

the past two years of commercial operations of FDC Misamis,” he continued. FDC Misamis was inaugurated by President Rodrigo Duterte and was connected to the Mindanao grid in September 2016. With his remaining 947 days in office as governor, Emano assured the tax awardees that their taxes are in safe hands. “Because you (religiously) paid your taxes, we are able to deliver the (right) services to our people,” furthered the governor. He then enumerated programs and projects that are lined up and scheduled to be funded through the taxes collected. Among them are the Special Education Fund, sports development, salary hike for Capitol employees (4th tranche), barangay empowerment, out of school youth, senior citizens, and other social services. "This award is a manifestation of our commitment to the local government units, and Misamisnons in general, that we will pay our taxes religiously." said Roxas.

Philex says Silangan timetable could slip if no financing by 1H of 2020 PHILEX Mining Corp. said the initial stages of development of its Silangan gold and copper project in Surigao del Norte could be delayed if it canot raise $350 million in financing by the first half of 2020. “Depende pa din sa availability of funds pero for sure if by 2020 wala pa yung initial money for early works, the timetable will move (It depends on the availability of funds but for sure if by 2020 there is still no initial money for early works, the timetable will move),” Philex Mining President and Chief Executive Officer Eulalio B. Austin, Jr. said on the sidelines of an event here. “Supposedly, in our timetable, we need $350 million to come in the first half of 2020. That’s why we need to talk to our investors,” he noted. The company is targeting to finalize its list of possible investors by December. Mr. Austin said that

the search for investors is challenging due to the regulatory climate, including the ban on open pit mining, and a moratorium on the issuance of new mining permits. “For us, we can only talk about the track record of Philex Mining. For more than 60 years in operation, we have been advocates of principled mining and we have the full trust of the community in Surigao,” he said. Philex appointed J.P. Morgan to advise on equity investment and Mizuho Finanical Group for project financing. “Our financial advisor is looking into companies that have already some investment in mining so that during due diligence, medyo madali lang (it will be easier),” Mr. Austin said, adding that the company is open to any party that can help get the project going before its Padcal mine in Benguet ceases operations.

They get P300 off on any regular-priced item with a minimum single receipt purchase of P3,000 at all branches of The SM Store (December 7 & 14) and up to 20% off on selected gift items from Kultura branches nationwide (December 7, 14 & 21).

abroad via trade. " We w a n t t o r a i s e consciousness. The Filipinos are aware that they can do more," he said in an interview on the sidelines of the Philippine Industrial Summit in Mindanao exhibit at the Limketkai Center here. "Number one, we have to put our acts together. Instead of complaining, for instance, about the price of copra, can't we be innovative and produce more products from coconut rather than just relying on coconut oil?" he asked.

For Filipinos, innovation could generate more value in a product such as the coconut. "We have our captive minds and we're complaining that copra price is only PHP14 therefore the government must do something but then again this is not just an issue of the copra farmer, this is an issue for our country to think. If our universities, our captains of industries work together, we could produce more value to coconut," he said. The country could also put a value on its human capital who often opt to work in foreign countries. "If we really want to put alternatives to our OFWs who want work, this is it, we must industrialize," he said.

PERLITA QUIJOTE RAMIENTOS, Respondent. x------------------------/ TO: PERLITA QUIJOTE RAMIENTOS Purok 2, Baybay, Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte

SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION

G R E E T I N G S!

WHEREAS, on September 23, 2019, the Court issued an order granting the petitioner’s Motion to Serve Summons by Publication, the dispositive portion of which reads as follows: “Finding the same to be well-taken and in order, the petitioner is allowed to make a substituted service of summons by publication for two (2) consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation here in the province of Lanao del Norte.” WHEREAS, Petition reads: “PETITION"

COMES NOW, petitioner, LOWELL P. RAMIENTOS, through this law office, unto this Honorable Court, most respectfully avers: 1.

Petitioner, LOWELL P. RAMIENTOS, is a Filipino, of legal age, married,with residence atPurok 2 Baybay, Kolambugan, Lanao Del Norte, Philippines, where he may be served with summons and other pertinent orders and processes of this Honorable Court, evidenced by his certificate of residency marked as Annex “A”and sketch plan of his residence marked as Annex “B”. Also attached is his SSS ID bearing nos. 08-2266354-4 marked as Annex “C”; 2. Respondent, PERLITA V. QUIJOTE, is a Filipino, of legal age married, with last known residence at Purok 2 Baybay, Kolambugan, Lanao Del Norte, Philippines, where she may be served with summons and other pertinent orders and processes of this Honorable Court; 3. The parties have the capacity to sue and be sued; 4. The parties were married on 19 December 2006 before Vicente Vivencio T. Bandillo, Consul of the Philippines, at the Consulate General of the Republic of the Philippines, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (A copy of the of the Marriage Contract is attached hereto and made integral part hereof as Annex “D”); 5. There was no child born out of their union. 6. The parties have no written agreement executed before the marriage to govern their property relations. No properties were acquired by the parties during the marriage; nor were any debts incurred by the parties; 7. The parties met sometime in February 2003while working at Hilton Hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Petitioner and respondent worked as a room attendant and receptionist, respectively. Petitioner was attracted to respondent but the latter was in a relationship. However, not so long, respondent broke up with her boyfriend, and thereafter, petitioner courted the respondent. In just two weeks of courtship, the parties became a couple. The parties engaged in pre-marital sex; 8. In the middle of 2004,the parties decided to live together under one roof without the benefit of marriage. However, under the Sharia Law (the law governing Dubai), sexual relationships or unmarried couples cohabiting is illegal, and any individual convicted or caught under these circumstances are likely to be punished by a minimum sentence of one (1) year in jail, followed by deportation.The parties, for the purpose of saving their respective jobs and avoid inevitable imprisonment and deportation, they decided to get married on 19 July 2006 at the Consulate General of the Philippines in Dubai, United Arab Emirates; 9. The parties lived as legally married couple in Dubai, United Arab Emirates for a period of more or less one (1) year and four (4) months, reckoned from the date of marriage until 28 November 2007; 9.a. On several occasions, petitioner caught respondent talking over the cellphone a man named “Roy”, as reflected on her cellphone screen. At first, petitioner finds no wrong on talking with someone over the phone, but what bothered petitioner was the increased frequency of their calls. Out of curiosity, petitioner at different times asked respondent on who is “Roy” and what is the purpose of his calls. Respondentinconsistently replied that “Roy” is her longtime friend or her new friend introduced by her friend and is asking her help to find a work in Dubai, or at times her workmate. Despite the noted inconsistencies and with the intent to preserve their marriage, petitioner refrained from entertaining his suspicion that respondent is having an affair. 9.b At one time, petitioner caught respondent making a video call with a naked man doing sexual acts. But when petitioner confronted respondent, the latter responded that it was nothing and that it only popped up on her cellphone screen. Petitioner was in doubt with the respondent’s response, but for purposes of ending their disagreement and restoring harmony in their relationship, he forgave her. 10. A job opportunity came to petitioner. For purposes of giving respondent a better future and with the consent of the latter, the former applied as a stateroom with NORWEGIAN Cruise Line, a company with an office in Miami, Florida, USA. Fortunately, petitioner was hired on 1 December 2007 for a ten (10) months contract. Two days prior to his employment date, on 28 November 2007, he boarded the cruise ship and left Dubai; 11. When respondent sends off petitioner in Dubai, the former surprisingly manifest excitement that that the latter will leave. Such reaction is contrary to how petitioner felt. As much as he wanted to be with her, he needs to leave to prepare their future. 12. While the parties are separated by distance, their communication was constant. However, at several times, respondent expresses to petitioner that the latter’s physical absence caused her severe sadness. This eventually made her decide, with the acquiescence of petitioner, to resign from her work in Dubai and return home to the Philippines for good; 13. On May 2008, respondent arrived in the Philippines and lived at petitioner’s house situated in Purok 2 Baybay, Kolambugan, Lanao Del Norte, Philippines. She lived together with petitioner’s mother and siblings. Their relationship continued via long distance, with constant calls and emails; 14. Petitioner sends to respondent a monthly allowance of Twenty-Seven Thousand Pesos (Php27,000.00) through bank remittances; 15. While in Kolambugan, respondent met new acquaintances and often leaves the house to go out with them. One day, it came to petitioner’s knowledge, through his mother and neighbors, that respondent always comes home very late at night accompanied by another man on board petitioner's car. Via telephone call, petitioner confronted respondent as to the truthfulness of the news, however, respondent vehemently denies it all. 16. Even after their confrontation, respondent continued to maintain a night life with friends. Petitioner’s mother deemed it proper to notify petitioner that respondent still goes out with friends and comes home very late at night accompanied by another man. However, it resulted to a mother-and-son fight as petitioner defended respondent under the belief that the latter loves him; 17. The parties were often engaged in verbal arguments over petty matters. Their verbal quarrels became a common occurrence; 18. While on board the cruise ship, petitioner cannot contain his worries on the possibility that all the news about the respondent may be true. This caused him emotional disturbance that led to sleepless nights and consequently affects his work performance; 19. Thereafter, petitioner, through series of telephone calls, asked respondent to minimize or if possible to stop going out at night and not see the other man, but the respondent asserts that she is neither going out nor seeing another man. Such denial runs contrary to what petitioner’s mother and their neighbors saw; 20. Petitioner, despite the denial of the respondent, felt the need to fix their relationship. He, via telephone, earnestly tried to initiate an open communication between them, wherein they can express with no hesitation what or how they feel about each other. This was with the hope that it may fix the gap in their relationship. Petitioner told the respondent about the latter’s lack of passion, respect and romance in their relationship, but all these were denied by respondent; 21. The relationship turned into sour. Respondent threatened petitioner that she will leave the latter if he does not stop being suspicious. Petitioner pleaded to respondent to wait for his arrival on October 2008 so they could settle their differences in person. However, on September 2008, respondent abandoned petitioner and left the dwelling. Since then, respondent neither returned home nor communicated the petitioner; 22. Respondent went missing and her whereabouts are unknown. On October 2008, petitioner went home to the Philippines with the hope to reconcile with respondent and save their marriage. Petitioner exerted earnest efforts to find the respondent, but she’s nowhere to be found. On several occasions, petitioner tried to reach respondent through his relatives and friends but to no avail. He went to respondent’s ancestral house in Cebu City but none from her family and friends knows where she can be found. He also tried to ask respondent’s close friends and former co-workers but none of them knows where she is. The search for the respondent took more or less two (2) years until petitioner already gave up. As much as the petitioner wanted to save their marriage, it cannot be done by him unilaterally; 23. With the short span of time the parties had been together, this is the time which petitioner describes as a period where respondent’s instability, psychological or otherwise, showed up; 24. Petitioner and respondent are currently separated in fact and have been so since September 2008. The reason for the continuing separation in fact is the breakdown of the marriage due to respondent’s psychological incapacity to fulfill and discharge his marital obligations, which existed at the time of the marriage but manifested itself well into the marriage; 25. The psychological incapacity of the respondent to remain married is characterized by gravity, juridical antecedence, and incurability; prior to this resort, petitioner had attempted formal and informal counseling sessions, all of which were unproductive due to respondent’s unknown whereabouts. Copy of the psychological evaluation of the parties is marked as Annex “E- E-8”; 26. Such incapacity of the respondent is so grave and serious that she is truly incognitive of and unable to fully assume and comply with her marital obligations under Article 68, 69, 70 and 71 of the Family Code of the Philippines and the attendant duties of a married person as well; 27. That finally, the petitioner has therefore no other recourse but to seek judicial relief. The prospects or possibility of respondent to reform and assume his essential marital obligations is a remote possibility, if not a hopeless expectancy. PRAYER

WHEREFORE, in view of the foregoing, petitioner respectfully prayed that the Honorable Court render judgment as follows: 1. Declaring the marriage between petitioner and respondent null and void ab initio under the provisions of Article 36 of the Family Code of Philippines, and the annulment of the same marriage based on Article 45 (5) of the Family Code of the Philippines. 2. Adjudicating all other legal effects of the decree of nullity of marriage.

Petitioner prays for such other reliefs just and equitable under the premises.

11 June 2019, Tubod, Lanao Del Norte.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

Mga ginikanan gihangyo ni Emano nga suportahan ang Patak Kontra Polio GIAWHAG ni Gobernador Bambi Emano ang tanang mga ginikanan sa Misamis Oriental nga suportahan ang Sabayang Patak Kontra Polio nga gisugdan niadtong Lunes, Nobyembre 25 hangtud Disyembre 7, 2019. Matud ni Emano nga angayang pahimuslan sa mga ginikanan ang mga programa nga manalipud sa mga kabataan gikan sa mga sakit nga posibleng mutakboy kanila samtang sila nagtubo. Gimanduan usab ni Emano si Dr. Jerie Calingasan ang Provincial Health Officer nga I-mobilize ang tanang Municipal Health Officers, Ug ang tanang mga Health workers sa lalawigan aron suportahan ang kampanya ni Dr. Andresa Beñas gikan sa DOH Regional Office 10, nga mupahigayon ug houseto-house visitation alang sa mass immunization sa mga batang nag-edad sa 0 hangtod sa lima ka tuig. Kon mahinumduman nga gilusad sa Department of Health ang maong programa tungod sa pagbalik sa mga kaso sa Polio sa Pilipinas ilabina na sa pulo Mindanao. Basi sa pinakaulahing report sa DOH, aduna nay natalang pito (7) ka kaso sa polio ug unom (6) niini gikan sa Mindanao. Nasayran nga

tulo (3) ka mga bata ang giadmit sa Cotabato Regional Medical Center ug laing duha ka mga batang babaye nga nag edad usa ka tuig ang gikan sa Maguindanao ug usa ka 4-anyos nga taga-North Cotabato, ug usa ka tuig nga batang lalaki nga gikan sa Cotabato City, ang simtomas sa polio naglakip na hilanat, ubo, ug kahuyang sa mga bitiis ug mga kaunoran sa nawong. Dugang sa DOH nga ang duha niini walay bakuna kontra polio, samtang ang kwatro anyos nga batang

babaye nabakunahan apan dili kompleto ang dosage. Ang Polio motakboy pinaagi sa mga kontaminadong pagkaon ug tubig. Nanghinaut ang Gobernador nga makatampu ang mga Health workers sa lalawigan aron magmalampuson ang unang hugna sa Sabayang Patak Kontra Polio ug aron magpabiling Polio Free ang Misamis Oriental ug aron makatabang sa DOH nga makab-ot sa buhatan ang 95 percent nga vaccination rate.

Gob. Cagas sa DavSur, mapasalamaton sa katawhan sa MisOr ug kang Gob. Emano

HILABIHAN intawon ang dautang epekto sa linog sa Davao del Sur sa milabay nga mga adlaw, kung diin naglisod pagbangon ug balik sa normal nga kahimtang ang katawhan sa lugar. Niadtong Nobyembre 20, 2019, balor P2 milyones kapin nga ayuda ang gipakarga ni Gobernador Bambi sa tulo ka dump truck sa kapitolyo padulong ngadto sa Digos ug Magsaysay sa Davao del Sur. Lakip sa hinabang ang sinakong bugas, water jars, used clothing, tambal ug uban pa. Mao na lamang intawon ang pasalamat ni DavSur Governor Douglas Cagas ngadto sa katawhan sa Misamis Oriental ubos sa liderato ni Gobernador Bambi ug sa tanang adunay malumong kasing-kasing nga mitunol sa ilang hinabang nga nakahatag dugang kusog sa mga biktima nga mobangon gikan sa pagkalup-og tungod sa linog. "Dili lang kay Gov. Emano, apan to the whole of Misamis Oriental, mapasalamaton kaayo ko sa leadership. Daku kayo gyud ug tabang ang inyong gihatag

nganhi kanamo alang sa mga earthquake victims. Ang inyong presence here give us a strong feeling that we are not alone ani nga challenge. Imagine ang taga-MisOr muanhi dari, that's a big big thank you,” matud ni Gobernador Cagas. Gikabutyag ni Gobernador Cagas nga mismong iyahang opisina sa kapitolyo nagkinahanglan gayud og hinabang karong panahona, tungod kay ubay-ubay pa ang nagpabilin sa 28 evacuation centers sa nagkadaiyang lugar sa tibuok lalawigan sa DavSur. "Naay uban gusto nang mupauli, pero majority dili na gusto mopauli, kay nakakita na sila ug comfort zone sa

evacuation centers. So what we'll have to do is to just sustain them," dugang ni Gobernador Cagas. Nakaila nang daan si Gobernador Cagas kang Gobernador Emano tungod sa amahan niini nga si anhing Dongkoy Emano. Matud pa sa amahan sa Davao del Sur, dili na siya matingala kung maabtikong motabang si Gobernador Bambi kanila, tungod kay batasan na gayud kini sa pamilyang Emano nga maluluy-on ug matinabangon niadtong nagkinahanglan. Sa paghidangat nila sa Davao del Sur, nakig kurtesiya gilayon ang grupo ni Gobernador Bambi Emano sa kapitolyo, nga gipangulohan ni MisOr general services officer Mr. Matthew Vallcer, kauban sila si MisOr Coop officer Boboy Acain, Provincial Veterinarian Dr. Benjie Resma, ug kanhi Lagonglong mayor Entot Puertas. Matud pa sa grupo, nahupay ang ilang kahago ug kakapoy sa biyahe sa dihang ilang nadawat ang tim-os uyamot nga pagpasalamat sa mga biktima sa linog nga sila intawon natabangan sa ilang kahimtang.

Sa kabuuang kasaysayang pantao sa panahong ito; ang sangkatauhan ay tila palaging nahaharap sa mga mabibigat at malalim na problema. Sa pasimula ng kasaysayan; walang bundok na matayog, walang dagat na malapad, walang abottanaw na makikita. Iyon ay kung paano ito tila! Ngunit sa katunayan, sa kabila ng kahangahangang seyantipikong pagsulong sa siglong ito, ang sangkatauhan ay patuloy pa ring nahaharap sa hamon tugon at dala ng makabago at mapaghamong panahon. Mayroon pang pagkalakilaking problema ang hindi pa nakikita at natugunan. Pagkakasakit , mga sakit , kremin at aksidente

na kumitil sa buhay ng maraming tao araw-araw. Hanggang kailan ba? at kung sino ang magpasimula para sa kalutasan ng mga ito? Di ba ako, ikaw at tayong lahat? Lilipat naman t ay o p at u n g o s a i k a dalawampu’t isang siglo; mg a s ang k at au han ng dantaong ito, malaking hamon din ba sa inyo ang pagkaimb ento ng mga makabago at modernong technolohiya?

Ang pag-atubili ay hindi sapat na dahilan.

Huminahon ka kaibigan, tatagan ang damdamin, huwag mgpadala sa hamon na sya’y magpatigil sa atin. Sa ngayon na nas a makabagong panahon na tayo, tila ba ito’y giyera na sinusulong natin, di alam kung panalo o matatalo ba tayo sa kahahantungan sa ginawa natin.

Jesus loves us all very much! He always listens to us and forgives us, no matter how wrong or hurtful we’ve been. Jesus is just waiting for you and me to choose to love Him in return. He’s patiently waiting for us to spend time alone with Him so we can get close to Him, not just on special days like Christmas and Easter but every day. And as you spend time with Him, Jesus will help you change to become more like Him. Then you can start giving gifts of real love to others, not just on special days, but every day of the year.

He also added that during the meeting, he emphasized the need for BIMP-EAGA member-countries not to restrict trade among the people in the region. “Our people have been trading among themselves for centuries long before ou r gove r n me nt s we re established.

Business owners should learn from Stan Shih. As founder and CEO of global giant Acer Computers, Shih not only prohibited his family from joining in the business, but passed the top position in 2005 to a veteran executive who had helped Acer establish its brand in Europe. This move won praise from suppliers, customers and investors alike, enhancing Acer's reputation in the highly competitive tech market.

The Silangan mine has three deposit areas, B oyongan, Bayugo, and Kalayaan, with the latter a joint venture with Manila Mining Corp. This might be Philex Mining’s biggest source of revenue after the 61-year-old Padcal project closs in 2022. T he tot a l e st i m ate d capital expenditure for the development of the first phase of the project, Boyongan, is $750 million. It has an estimated mine life of 22 years and is designed to produce four million tons per year. Target date for commercial operations is July 2022. The operation of the Silangan mine was originally set to begin in 2018, but has been moved to 2022 due to the ban on new openpit mining introduced in 2017. It has since shifted to underground sub-level cave mining, which was approved by the Environment department through the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) as announced by the company on Oct. 10. Philex Mining is one of the three local units of Hong Kong-based First Pacific Co. Ltd., the two other being PLDT, Inc. and Metro Pacific Investments Corp.

immediately resolve stalemate on the proposed reduction of tariff rates on banana shipments. The Pilipino Banana Growers and Exporters Association Inc. (PBGEA) urged Manila and Seoul to work on the speedy end to the issue of very high import tariffs imposed on Philippine bananas. The negotiations between the Philippines and Korea have been on a stalemate as Korea insists on greater market access for its automotive exports to the Philippines in exchange for a lower if not zero tariffs for Philippine bananas. “The negotiations have only started in the second quarter while the tariff rates for our competitors have been getting more and more favorable to our disadvantage,” Stephen Antig, executive director of PBGEA, in a statement on Sunday. President Rodrigo Duterte is scheduled to attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations – Republic of Korea (ROK) Commemorative Summit and other side events in Busan, South Korea on November 25-26. South Korean Ambassador to the Philippines Han Dongman earlier said at least four cooperation agreements in the fields of social security, education, fisheries, and tourism will be signed after the two leader’s bilateral meeting. Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Assistant Secretary for Asean Office Affairs Junever MahilumWest, however, said the signing of agreements between Manila and Seoul is still under negotiation. PBGEA said they hope Duterte will raise anew the issue on banana import tariffs with South Korea President Mo on Jae-in during the bilateral talks, along with other concerns

on the proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between the two countries. Duterte first brought up the banana imports issue during his first state visit to Seoul in June 2018. The initial round of talks on the bilateral FTA was held in June this year with the aim of improving trade and investment activities between the two economies. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) tabled its demand to lower tariffs on agriculture exports. DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez said South Korean trade officials were amenable to tariffs cut as long as the Philippines lowers import duties on industrial products, especially automotive parts. The Philippines hopes the FTA will translate to improved market access for its agricultural products such as banana, pineapple, ok ra, avo c ado, p ou lt r y products, and mango -in exchange for Korea’s industrial goods. Negotiators are looking at different tariff rate proposals aimed at erasing or at least narrow the trade deficit between the Philippines and South Korea. They initially looked at a possible conclusion of the talks this month. This may not proceed as planned because of so-called “gaps” in the mutual concessions between the parties. Banana shipments to South Korean markets are taxed 30 percent. The country’s negotiators want this reduced to at least five percent, if not zero. South Korea is the country’s third most important banana market, next to China and Japan. Despite the high import tariff, banana shipments to this East Asian country reached 420,344 metric tons (MT) valued at USD203.69 million last year, from 379,144 MT (USD176.55 million) in 2017. However, banana growers are worried that share in the South Korean market may be reduced as Central American economies secured trade deals with Seoul that reduced, if not eliminated, tariff on their banana. South Korea’s trade deal with the five Central American

nations took effect in October. Talks for an FTA with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama began in June 2015 to ease duties on more than 95 percent of goods and open up the services and investment markets. The formal agreement was inked in February 2018. Victor Mercado Jr., PBGEA president, said the Central American bananas have been slowly eroding the market share of the Philippines. “If this continues any further, the Philippines will not be able to compete,” he added. For his part, Alberto Bacani, PBGEA chairman, said South Korea should also consider the special relationship with the Philippines “because of historical circumstances, particularly during the Korean War in the 1950s.” (PNA) ERRATUM The Notice of Hearing ERIC A.
