Agus rehab THE rehabilitation of the Agus-Pulangi hydroelectric complex could take place beyond 2025, the National Power Corp. (Napocor or NPC) told a House committee. A Napocor engineer briefing the Committee on Energy, Rene B. Barruela, operations planning department manager wit Napocor’s Strategic Power Utilities Group, said studies on the proposed rehabilitation are scheduled or the fourth quarter of 2020, while the rehab itself “could go beyond 2025.” Mindanao depends heavily on cheap power from AgusPulangi, whose facilities have deteriorated over time, leaving it well below its original rated capacity. Meanwhile, commercial power plants being built on Mindanao have been taking a greater share of power capacity, raising the prospect of higher rates on average.

New branches DAVAO City — BDO Network Bank, the rural bank of BDO Unibank Inc., is looking at doubling its branches and offices to 480 within the next four years as the bank intensifies its lending to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME). Jesus Antonio S. Itchon, president of BDO Network Bank, which used to be One Network Bank, Inc., said the bank also aims to hit 300 branches and offices by end of the year, but stopped short of providing details. Mr. Itchon said the bank will continue to concentrate on expanding in its base Mindanao, even as it has started penetrating Luzon and the Visayas following the buyout made by BDO in July 2015.

A TEACHER MOM By MARIO A. GUZMAN JR., SST-1 Bulua National High School

There is no easy task. Every task comes in unique package and if you are lucky you can be a teacher and a mom. The level of passion, the greatness of love and the vast attention can all be both juggled by a teacher who Is also a mom. Teachers burned the midnight candle in the preparation of IMs and DLLs while doing motherly duties

to a toddler or to a sick child... While hosting the Reading of Honors as adviser to a group of honorees, one’s honor child receives his certificate with no parent in sight. While the teacher mom tries her best to teach and does intervention so no child is left behind, her own child earns zero for every unanswered task.

The teacher plays a very complicated role and when she becomes a mother , this role may overlap; thus, one role is robbed off by the other. When a teacher focuses more of being a teacher than a mom, she may lose the affection of her children forever. When she concentrates to being a mom than a teacher, she might lose her job. The balancing of the two exquisites roles and functions is a herculean attempt. You may be an outstanding teacher but never an outstanding mom. It is a matter of balance. Knowing priorities and being in a dilemma when both roles require our time and our entire self and when we do offer such, we tend to lose ourselves.It is either we waive being a good teacher or postpone being a good mother. The balancing is a challenge but when the going gets tough, always trust where your heart desires.

N ITS third year of joining schools press conferences, Xavier University High School hasn emerged as the top-performing private school and overall first runner-up in the Division Schools Press Conference held at Xavier University Grade School Macasandig and Pueblo campuses in Cagayan de Oro City on September 11-12. Participated by more than 3,000 students from both private and public schools in the division, XUHS, through PAGASA, the official school publication of XUJHS, finished with 20 awards in the Individual Category and 4 awards in the Group Category. Thirteen of the winners qualified for the regional level (RSPC) to be held in Gingoog City in October. “Aside from the determination to win, it is equally important to remain focus to the goal by attending regularly to

training and maintain a presence of mind during the actual contest,” said Zle Yee, DSPC champ for Photojournalism – English category. DSPC seeks to prepare young journos to regional and national levels while honing student-journalists with relevant journalistic skills, engendering social awareness, national building, and responsible journalism. “Campus journalism is cognizant to our mission to ignite the passion for truth and justice," said Juanito R Oliveria II, PAGASA moderator and coach for DSPC Individual Category. "Giving our students the platform to be the voice of the truth is crucial in their roles of becoming future leaders of the nation.” The competition showcases the journalistic skills of the students in news writing, editorial writing, editorial cartooning, column writing, feature writing, science and technolog y

time,” said Jade Alfie Sale, Xu Senior High School journalism coach. The yearly conference is in pursuant to Republic Act (R A) 7079 or the Campus Journalism Act of 1991, and DepEd Memorandum No. 216, s. 2016.

Long and winding road Think a minute… After my teenage son learned to drive, he still did not learn the quickest, shortest route to where he wanted to go. He often ended up turning a 10-minute drive into a 20-minute journey. Taking the long way home cost him a lot of wasted time and money for fuel. Yet often in life we take the long and winding road to get where we want to be. Life is short, yet we take so long to learn how to live it well. “Experience may be a good teacher, but it charges us a high price for the lessons we learn.” Each day we face possibilities to make wrong turns, or to simply go around in circles with our daily routine, never actually making progress. “We live and learn, but some of us just live.” So we die sometimes having never learned to really live the right, satisfying way. We take many twists and turns trying to find our way through this life of good and bad, right and wrong. We face a lot of choices, including false starts, detours, and dead ends. Remember, “No one ever got lost on a straight road.”

Fly by night feng shui

Many a client engage Feng Shui as a second or even nth opinion in a desperation move Often they didn't get what they wished for. Why? Fake or fly by night Feng Shui or hso siao in Chinese! Here are my findings in the field these charlatan "Feng Shui" do: 1. They have a 'feng shui' shop. This alone hints they are simply out to sell and get rid of their smuggled or fake inventory of socalled Feng Shui enhancers or remedies. Mostly imitations, these things don't work as promised. 2. They are in shiwy costumes just trying hard sell to ompress. 3. They have an office! A real geomamcer holds office in the field, out on

ocular visits not tabletop consultation like a fortune teller or tarot reader. To see us to do it for real. A plan presented may not reveal a neighboring cemetery! Got it? 4. They put describe different lucky colors daily. Thus is not Feng Shui at all but fraud just to titillate your gullibility or fancy! 5. They speak fast in a not understandable manner to fool you fast enough. 6. They recommend items that are costly even sell you a house and lit as they get commission or profit on the side. 7. They can hypnotize or drug you so never partake of their food and drink especially tea. For ladies, you can be molested or raped

with rape drugs! 8. They require you to stick bagua or yellow sticker if Chinese calligraphy that turn out to be not prayers for protection but incantations or curse to fail in love or career even marriage so that as problems add up, you keep going back to them for more. 9. They threaten you with sickness or death. 10. They wear a moustache or beard, beware even if she is a lady or quack ha ha! 11. They advertise hard sell. 12. They claim to be back if all trades say tarot, fortune teller aside from Feng Shui. Why? Obviously to fool. Even false claims if being ceetified +for nothing). Or that this or that master's taught them. 13. Worst us one who

Our freedom needs temperance The reason is simple. Freedom is such a tricky thing to handle. It can easily be abused and ruin us. If not handled properly, its comeuppance is much graver than whatever pleasure its so-called perks and privileges can give us. So, caveat emptor! That’s why St. Paul in his Letter to the Galatians issued this warning: “For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.” (5,13) We need to understand that freedom is a gift from God and is governed by God’s law. Freedom is not something we generate ourselves. It is something given by God and received by us. It cannot be exercised simply on our own designs. By definition, it has to be related to God, its source and law. It is something relational, not

something absolutely ours. We have to be most wary of linking freedom with being absolutely ours, sadly a common phenomenon these days. That is not true freedom. That would be an abuse, a distortion of freedom. It would be a false freedom that sooner or later will lead us to some form of bondage. We need to understand then that the proper exercise of freedom is not simply a matter of being free to choose anything. Yes, there is a free choice involved, but it has to be a choice that has to be related to God. Our choice that is inspired by true freedom is when such choice coincides also with God’s choice in a given situation. But, alas, this is not easy to do for us. And that’s because of our wounded, sinful condition that often leads us to give priority to what we want rather than to what God wants. And

often, this anomaly springs from the urgings of our flesh that definitely needs to be disciplined and purified and directed to our proper ultimate end—God. This is where the virtue of temperance enters. It has as its purpose the integration of the bodily aspect of our nature with our spiritual dimension and supernatural goal. It aims to keep and nourish the integrity of our life that is often threatened by a variety of divisive factors and fragmenting conditions of our earthly life. It’s actually a very positive virtue, though it obviously involves some restrictive and prohibiting elements. Unfortunately, many of us get stuck with the latter negative side of it, while ignoring its very constructive character. We need to be realistic about our life. We should not forget what Christ said once in this regard: “The spirit is willing but the flesh

HINTS AND TRACES

ROY CIMAGALA is weak.” That’s the naked truth about ourselves insofar as the relation between the body and soul is concerned. We have to overcome that prevalent thinking that somehow allows the body to have whatever it wants as long as it does not make a mess in public or with the law. In short, it can have what it wants even if it goes against God’s law for us or even our own nature as long as one is not caught. It’s this kind of thinking TEMPERANCE/PAGE 11

becoming a 100-year old enterprise, the business must be relentless in staying relevant. But how? Firstly, the business leader must create a clear vision of where he or she wants to take the business in 10 to 20 years. Next is future proofing a succession plan. It is important that this shared vision must be well-defined, replete with measureable objectives and supported with very clear lines of communication and accountability, especially with the natural entry of next generation siblings and cousins. I was in Boston last week for strategic coaching work and in between engagements, pursued collaborative studies at Harvard on how to create a resilient and dynamic organization of the future. Expectedly, VUCA is here to stay and family businesses must evolve to overcome these dramatic changes! So beyond the perks, entitlement and glamour

of being an SOB (Sons and daughters of Business owner), successors must fully embrace the commitment, the hard work, the long hours and the pursuit of a strategic “big idea” that goes with the succession plan. This is what strategic planning is all about. Jane Hilbert-Davis, a Boston based consultant, defined strategic planning as “simply creating a plan of action. Originally from the Greek roots, ‘STER’ which means to spread out, usually in a military sense, and AG to drive or to lead, the word ‘strategy’ conjures up images of preparing for battle, or competition. It's different from 'vision' which is a future imagined, a hope of how things can be in the ‘farther into the future’ horizon, 1020 years from now. “ A strategic plan describes how you can get there.

FRIDAY|SEPTEMBER 27, 2019

THE need to introduce further improvements to the Philippines’ capital market has risen especially in recent years to help address the dovish interest rate outlook and slower global growth, among others. Reliance on banks as major fund source for corporates should be lessened. Instead, businesses should have greater access to the capital market. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Assistant Governor Johnny Noe Ravalo, in a briefing on the release of the Financial Stability Report for the first half of 2018 until

2019 at the central bank Wednesday, said members of the Financial Stability Coordination Council (FSCC) has recommended three interventions to ensure financial stability in the domestic economy. These measures are namely fewer but deeper benchmark tenors, indexed bonds, and tenor-based pricing. Revelo said these proposed interventions are very timely because interest rates are falling and so it financing. In an interview by journalists, he explained that reducing dependence on banks for funding ENHANCE/PAGE 11

HE Asian Development Bank (ADB) has slightly reduced its economic growth forecast for the Philippines for the next two years amid a slowdown in the global economy and domestic investment, even as the country remains one of Asia’s best performers. In an update of its flagship annual economic publication, Asian Development Outlook (ADO) 2019, the Manilabased multilateral bank revised its forecast for Philippine gross domestic product (GDP) growth to

6 percent in 2019 and 6.2 percent in 2020, against its previous forecast of 6.4 percent for both years. In a press conference on Wednesday, ADB Country Director for the Philippines Kelly Bird attributed the downward revision to slowdown in global economy and in domestic investment in first half of the year caused mainly by the 2019 budget impasse. “Public spending should regain traction for the rest of 2019, with the government committed to catching up with its spending plans, especially

as new and larger infrastructure projects get underway,” he said. Bird sees the recovery in public spending also boosting private consumption, which is currently well supported by steady overseas workers’ remittances, moderate inflation, and low unemployment. The ADB said public expenditure next year is expected to provide a further boost to the economy amid the proposed 12-percent increase in the 2020 national budget, with higher

spending particularly on infrastructure, social services, and income transfers to poor households. “Public and private investment should regain traction as new and larger infrastructure projects get under way,” it added. The multilateral bank said the outlook for exports remains weak in light of the slower-thanexpected economic growth in major industrialized economies, which are among the Philippines’ largest export markets.

Dominguez eyes possible solutions to IRA allocation hikes FINANCE Secretary Carlos Dominguez said on Wednesday the High Court’s ruling increasing local governments’ internal revenue allotment (IRA) is projected to increase the share of government’s budget gap on domestic output. “That’s going to create a fiscal problem, which in our estimates, without doing anything,

would drive up our deficit from 3.2 percent to 4.1 percent (of gross domestic product). That is not acceptable,” he told senators in a hearing. Last April, the Supreme Court (SC) affirmed with finality its ruling increasing the IRA, which previously is only 40 percent of the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s (BIR) SOLUTIONS/PAGE 11

from everyday stress and strain, scheduling a massage once or twice a month will probably suffice. For those who work in a high-stress environment or have daily activities that risk causing repetitive-motion injuries or postural issues, weekly sessions might be the best. Keep in mind that the effects of regular massage are cumulative, and spacing them too far apart might leave you back at square one every time.

Capturing the Elusive Peace By MARIO A. GUZMAN Jr., SST-1 Bulua National High School

Peace. It is a condition where an individual enjoy friendly relations with ot he rs , u nt roubl e d by disputes. It is also a state where man is free from noise, worries, troubles, fears, war and fights. A familiar word, but remains a strange condition. The people, the nations and the whole world are all, but wanting and longing for peace. We n e e d p e a c h . It becomes an ultimate goal way back from the days of yore to the contemporary

world of today. The longing and the search have been wearisome for we’ve been waiting for something not doomed to come. Early people tried to achieve peace but then more wars, worse than even are born. War of tribe against tribe, city against city dynasty against dynasty, kingdom against kingdom, empire against empire, nation against nation until the first world war roared the earth and seconded by the more devastating World War II. Even though peace keeping

organizations have at least managed to prevent war, still we failed to achieve peace in the very sense of the word. War continues killing thousands in a single strike. Now the chance for becomes smaller every day. There will come a day when it becomes a dream far from reality. We need peace ver y much, but it’s nowhere to be found. But how can we achieve world peace when there’s no peace within us? We are at war with ourselves, daily battling

between good and evil. What we are tr ying to curtail is the literal war but little did we know that it rooted from the war within ourselves. To solve the war may not be the starting point, rather let us first learn to discipline and tame ourselves so we can lessen the war that hurdles us. The seed peace must be planted within and let it grow in us. If we cannot stop our own war, then there’s no way out for peace to truly exist.

allows the entry of cheap foreign rice from more competitive rice producers in Southeast Asia. The Don Bosco MultiPurpose Cooperative in North Cotabato, one of the few groups in Mindanao selling organic rice, said that the organic rice industry cannot meet domestic demand. Maria Helenita Gamela, vice chair and marketing officer of the coo-op, said organic farmers continue to enjoy better income compared to growers of traditional rice because their crop is higher value. “We have a niche market. The price is steady whole year round but we cannot produce the needed volume,” Ms. Gamela said. The cooperative is buying unmilled r ice f rom its members for as much as P20 a kilogram, compared with the government support price of P17 for white rice, and she expects export agreements to push the price higher.

from page 1 Inc. (BUSECO). This as BUSECO bagged two major citations - one for having the Highest Load Factor and one for being a Prompt Payor, gaining the highest score in a ten-point system. “Quite shocking! And surprising,” said BUSECO’s General Manager Cris Dulfo. “Actually, we’re not expecting those, considering that we’re just among the electric cooperatives in Mindanao having small contracted power capacity with FDC Misamis,” he added. Perhaps, Dulfo said their true commitment in honoring their (contracted) obligations and maintaining their financial capacity so they could pay promptly all their power suppliers have had made them outstanding. Other ECs were also given special citations. These include Agusan del Norte Electric Cooperative, Inc. (ANECO), Cotabato Electric Cooperative, Inc. (COTELCO), Davao del Norte Electric Cooperative, Inc. (DANECO), Davao del Sur Electric Cooperative, Inc. (DASURECO), Davao

Oriental Electric Cooperative, Inc. (DORECO), Lanao del Norte Electric Cooperative, Inc. (LANECO), Misamis Oriental I Rural Electric Service Cooperative, Inc. (MORESCO I), South Cotabato I Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SOCOTECO I) and Surigao del Norte Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SURNECO). FDC Misamis President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Juan Eugenio L. Roxas attributed their continued feat to the trust of their customers. “FDC Misamis recognizes that the robust partnerships we have with our customers have always been the cornerstone of our success,” he said. Roxas then reiterated that to date, FDC Misamis remains to be among the cheapest source of power in the region. FDC Misamis is still one of the cheapest because we have the most fuel-efficient cost and the highest plant availability in the entire Mindanao,” he added. Also present at the event was FDC andFDCUI Chairman of the Board Jonathan T. Gotianun. Jonathan said celebrating FDC Misamis’ anniversary is one important milestone, an opportunity to remember and be grateful to all their loyal partners. “This is also a sort of reflection and dedication to the very important role we play in contributing for the development of Mindanao,” he said. Jonathan also recounted how his father, the late Andrew L. Gotianun, Sr., whose passion and vision to help Mindanao after a long neglect, drove him to build FDC Misamis. In sum, he stressed that it was really his father’s ultimate dream to put an end to the recurring brownouts that once plagued the island of Mindanao for quite so long. Hence, FDC Misamis was constructed. FDC Misamis is a subsidiary of FDC Utilities, Inc. (FDCUI), the power arm of the Gotianunled Filinvest Development Corporation (FDC). It operates a 405-MW Circulating Fluidized Bed Coal Thermal Plant located in Villanueva town, the biggest coal fired power plant in Northern Mindanao, so far. (Advertorial)

Santander in Cebu, and Dapitan City in Zamboanga del Norte. The cable terminal stations serve as the landing points of the two 92-kilometer submarine cables that will carry around 450 megawatts (MW) of power from the Visayas and Mindanao, and vice versa. Considered the biggest power infrastructure project in Philippine history, the project also requires the installation of 526 circuit-kilometers of overhead transmission lines, high-voltage direct current converter stations, and upgrades to substations in both regions. Ms. Bugnosen said once the negotiations with local governments and landowners are complete, NGCP will proceed with the needed construction. “In the meantime, we have worked with the providers and consultants to make sure that we make the deadline — that’s end -2020,” she said. MVIP is one of the 29 NGCP projects that were certified as energy projects of national significance by the Department of Energy. An executive order gives an EPNS faster issuance of regulatory and documentary requirements from local and national government agencies. The perks include action on applications for permits and requirements within 30 days, and the automatic approval of all applications within five working days if no action of a government agency is made after 30 days. The 29 projects will cost a total of P90.291 billlion as approved by the Energy Regulatory Commission. (NGCP/ PR)

partnered with PhilCeb, private company, in a joint venture to avail of the taxi units. “Part of the partnership is a mobile application for all our taxi and UV Express which are all automated and accessible to any Android pone patterned in the USA and other modern countries,” he pointed out. “Any passenger can access the mobile application through Play Store.” In explaining further, Babol said that in the app, commuters can call a taxi for a ride, fare payment through debit or credit card and have access with partner merchants like hotels, restaurants, gas stations, auto mechanic shops, etc. for easy and luxury travel of passengers. He added that relatives or friends of the taxi unit passenger can monitor the location of the taxi through GPS location. “This will be the first in Mindanao and Visayas concept of taxi operation as part of the modernization plan of DOTr,” Babol said.

to inspect production areas for premium rice. The agency helped arrange a marketing agreement b e t we e n pre m iu m r i c e farmers and PNG. An initial supply of about 5,000 tons is expected to be sent to PNG before the end of the year. MinDA quoted Andrew Bolougne, head of the US group, as telling the farmers: “Produce as much as you can and we will market it.” It a d d e d t h a t M r. Bolougne’s group is also facilitating the export of green and mature coconut to the US market. Mr. Bolougne said demand for organic rice, particularly the so-called Black Rice, has been high because of their benefits compared with white rice. “You cannot imagine how huge is the market demand for organic food today and we will cash in on that,” he added, promising that his group will commit to buy the produce at prices that will provide the farmers better income compared with traditional rice varieties. The deal will involve the marketing of an “unlimited volume of White, Brown, Red and Black Rice.” The agreement emerged f rom a f or u m M i n DA organized in cooperation with Seedworks Philippines Inc. which was also attended by farmer groups in Mindanao. Another result of the forum was the formation of the Mindanao Organic Rice Council. MinDA also announced it will set up a database of organic rice farmers in Mindanao, and geotagging their farms. Among the key challenges facing the traditional rice industry is the Rice Tariffication Law, which

do? Then how would I feel if God let someone else do that wrong thing to me or to someone in my family? He shows us His right ways for our happiness and safety! Jesus declared that He is the only way to true life. Follow Him and He will lead you where you want to go. He knows this land called life. He made it. Trust Him. So won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for living your way? Then ask Him to take full charge of your heart and daily way of living, so you can stop taking wrong turns and dead-end streets. He is the only One Who can lead you off the long and winding road to the straight and only way home, where your satisfying, everlasting life is waiting for you. Just think a minute…

that is behind the surge these days of alcoholism, gluttony, eroticism, infidelity, frivolity, etc. Modesty and moderation are hardly known, let alone practiced. Tempera nce ac t ua l ly constitutes for us a liberation from our carnal self. It’s actually an expression of freedom so that we can

realize more fully our dignity as persons who know how to think and love properly, and as children of God who are supposed to live their lives with God. So, far from undermining our freedom, the virtue of temperance helps us to live our freedom properly. It helps us to be always vigilant so that we don’t get easily deceived by the false values our wounded f lesh often offers us.

cannot be done overnight since an economy needs an efficient capital market first to really change the market landscape. He pointed out that an efficient capital market reflects fair prices of risks and fair price of risks for a particular tenor, which investors can compare. “So by giving out fair prices, tenor-based, you’re allowing people choices. Do I borrow one-time seven years or do I borrow five years and then borrow two years after the fifth year? Those are the decisions that have to be made,” he said. To date, some listed companies are now issuing their bond debt papers, thus, Ravelo said the change will not start from zero because there is already a market for these instruments. “What we’d like to do going forward is polish whatever we have right now so that a lot more of the SMEs (small and medium enterprise) can go to the capital market instead

of just going to the banking industry,” he said. The BSP executive explained that while there is nothing wrong from borrowing from banks, these financial institutions also get part of their funds from deposits, which account holders can withdraw anytime they want. This, he pointed out, “comes in a market friction cost and market development cost.” “Whereas compared to the capital market when an issuer says I’m raising 10-year money those who buy the 10-year bond are saying we have 10-year money. So the tenor mismatch is removed,” he said. “From that alone that’s going to b e a massive improvement already. So it’s the next step but just to be absolutely clear we’re not starting from zero,” he said. “ That’s also why we are growing by six percent because we have a financial market that allows for the economic activities to be financed,” he added.

Growth...

from page 5 growth rate averaged 5.5 percent in the first semester. “Philippine economic growth is resilient despite weak external environment,” Bird said, noting that strong m a c ro e c on om i c p ol i c y settings help build resilience. The ADB further expects inflation to slow to 2.6 percent in 2019 and 3 percent in

2020, significantly lower than previous ADB forecasts, largely on improved domestic rice supplies following the lifting of quantitative rice import restrictions in February this year. “That drop in inflation was due to better supplies of rice in the domestic market as a result of rice reforms and quantitative restrictions, but also as the monetary tightening last year starts to lower inflation expectations,” Bird said. In the long term, Bird cited proactive policy reforms that are laying the foundation for higher growth, including the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN), Ease of Doing Business Act, and rice reforms, among others. “Further relaxing restr ic tions on foreign investment and creating a national competition policy can also promote long term growth and more quality jobs,” he added.

collections. Aside from the share from BIR revenues, the SC decision said the IRA should also be taken from, among others, the tariff and duties collected by the Bureau of Customs (BOC), 50 percent of valueadded tax (VAT), 30 percent of national taxes collected in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, 60 percent of national taxes collected from the exploitation and development of national

wealth, and 85 percent of excise tax from tobacco products.

Another option is requesting lawmakers to pass a law that will reduce IRA allocation to 30 percent or for the President to declare as unmanageable the fiscal deficit as a result of the new IRA policies. Dominguez pointed out this issue has evolved from being a fiscal problem to “a political fight.” But he said declaring the resulting fiscal gap as "unmanageable" is not expected to negatively impact on the country’s investment grade credit rating. “It will be positive because we recognize it and we’re not implementing a decision that’s unmanageable,” he added.
