BUTUAN CITY -— Church and socio-civic groups here have vowed to intensify their campaign against vote buying after a survey found that 80 percent of the respondents are willing to sell their votes.

gasag Provincial Hospital (P3.5 million), Gingoog Provincial Hospital (P15 million), Talisayan Provincial Hospital (P5 million), JR Borja General Hospital (P20 million), and the five RHUs of Camiguin province which includes Mambajao, Sagay, Catarman, Mahinog, and Guinsiliban (6.4 million). Also, a total of P360

million was also allocated to DOH-retained hospitals, including the Amai Pakpak Medical Center (P26 million), Mayor Hilarion A. Ramiro Sr. Regional Training and Teaching Hospital (P100 million) and the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (P185 million) while the remaining P48 million will go to the development of the RHUs and BHSs to be implemented under the DOH with an additional budget of P94 million for the equipment. DOH said that this assistance is in support to the Department Order No.

2011-0188 or the Aquino Health Agenda (AHA) which seeks to achieve universal health care for the Filipinos especially to the poor families. Based on DO No. 20110188, health facilities (20 percent of DOH-retained hospitals, 46 percent of provincial hospitals, 46 percent of district hospitals, and 51 percent of RHUs) shall be upgraded to ensure that the poorest 5.2 million families have access to better quality inpatient and outpatient care using funds from the Health Facilities Enhancement Program (HFEP), to

ensure also the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of the DOH. Along with the improved health care facilities, the Kalusugan Pangkalahatan also provides rapid expansion in National Health Insurance Program (NHIP) and owing to the failure to the financing and health care delivery systems to address the needs of the poor Filipinos.

DOH reports decrease of dengue cases in NorMin CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, April 17 (PIA) -- The Department of Health (DOH) Region 10 has recorded a significant decrease of dengue cases in the region from January to April 2013. From 632 cases in January, it dropped to 115 as of April 12. Dr. Dave Mendoza, chief of the Regional Epidemiology, Surveillance and Disaster Response Unit (RESDRU), however, reminded the public not to be complacent. Aedes aegypti, a den-

gue-c ausing mos quito specie, is characterized as low-flying and thus puts children among the most vulnerable group. A RESDRU report shows higher concentration of cases among the younger age group. The case fatality rate, although very low, is 0.91 percent or 10 deaths out of the 1,636 dengue cases reported since January, affecting children 15 years old and below. (Mark Anthony V.

Rascal also pointed out that the new airport will still be operational during rainy season as long as the visibility requirement is met. “Sa Lumbia airport pagumuulan, the visibility is 5 miles at open naman po ang airport. Ganyan din ang mangyayari sa Laguindingan airport, maski umuulan pero ang visibility is 5 miles or more, mag-oopen po ang airport natin.

(Attributed from a popular movie) Should we measure the success or failures of our leaders since the birth of the Republic to what we know off our country today – it has to be depressing FAILURE! The on-going election campaigns and the redundant excessive television ad spending has to have relevance to the failures of our leaders to present day. It is obvious the candidates need to brain-wash the “masa” to generate perceptions of their successes when in reality they and their forefathers considering the majority are grouped into dynasties and oligarchies have failed to stir the country towards prosperity. The propensities of the “thick-faced” politicians who walk about and whose lineage has ruined the country persist in expensive and dubious efforts to change the mindset of the people simply because they need to to get another mandate. It is unfortunate the dynasties have become sustainable if not getting stronger by the day with Congress controlling their stay in government. The fiefdoms all over the country have followed suit aggravated with a few who have gone mad evidence

of the killing spree seen by the Ampatuan’s who to date successfully elude the law. The education system has failed us as well with the degenerating public school systems that propagate the culture of abuse to be acceptable. The only sure way to maintain the status quo and to keep the majority stupid is to not educate them, and they have succeeded. The church is no better with its divided stance on all issues. Consider the Cebu Bishop endorsing candidates that have promoted the pro-RH senatorial wanna be. Then we have the evangelists who endorse winners obviously to succumb to the soon to be authorities rather than promote candidates who can make changes in this road to perdition. The rich have nothing to worry about for sure if only to get richer. The educated will somehow propel them to be the rich one day but the uneducated and the poor will only be subject to more misery. Simply put we need to shun dynasties, oligarchs, those that make careers out of government positions only to line their pockets to the detriment of the state, killers and murderers for sure, even revisionists who are out to change commentary/PAGE 7

H7N9: Deadlier than H5N1?

he most current eye catching news , if one were to read or watch television, talking of around the world headlines are: the Boston Marathon unfortunate event, the Margaret Thatcher farewell to this earthly life, the Recin poisoned letters ( which I would like to write on, sometime soon ), Texas Fertilizer Blast and the one that can affect us: the newly named H7N9 Avian Flu Virus. To date, the number of confirmed diagnosed cases and the mortality rate of patients with H7N9 seem to continue on the upward trend. This is kind of scary because, as it is, the illness may not just be contained in China, but, has the potential to enter our country. H7N9, belong to the Avian Influenza A viruses that affect humans. In 2003, H5N1 had approximately 600 cases affected, in over 15 countries. And, this time, H7N9, though the latest report has it at 38 confirmed cases, with 6 deaths, it is still too early to predict as to its capability to further increase the number of cases. Just as H5N1 started from China, H7N9 once more was traced to Eastern China at the Yangtze Delta Region. There are certain things that we need to understand and know, when confronted with the emergence of diseases such as this. First, the mode of transmission. Avian Influenza A Viruses usually do not usually affect humans. The cases where humans get to be affected by these type of viruses, occur from direct or close contacts with infected poultry. Nevertheless, we should not be lulled into thinking that a person to person spread is impossible. With this always at the back of our minds, we learn to appreciate the importance of monitoring the cases. 2nd, the signs and symptoms can overlap with other pathogens or disease causing micro-organism. Most viral illnesses present with fever, cough, sore throat, for

Surpassing expectations

ur country maintains lead in the Business Process Outsourcing or BPO industries in the Asian region. We have just overtaken India as the leading English speaking nation outside of the North American continent as the BPO capital of the world. With fluency of the English language coupled with our ability and best etiquette to handle calm and restraints in confrontational transactions, many outsourcing business in Asia have moved their headquarters to the new Global City in the national capital region and at the central business district of Cebu and to the 11 two tier cities including Cagayan de Oro in the Philippines. With a total of USD 11 Billion revenues in 2010 and with the employment of 638,000 young graduates, the Call Center industries are fast surpassing its 20% annual growth rate. At this growth, the industry experts are forecasting a staggering USD 25 Billion revenue starting 2016 which may employ 1.3 million more IT professionals compared to the 900,000 IT-BPO professionals now currently employed. This is a phenomenal development that caught the watchful eyes of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to train and target online transactions with taxes. Watch for the new tax revenue guidelines. India has opened up call centers and BPO’s in Metro Manila over the last three years. The companies identified with Concentrix, Wipro Technologies and Opex holds offices along Salcedo Village in Makati City with Filipino crews.

At the extreme side of the illness, where the illness is severe, the patient may manifest as viral pneumonia with respiratory symptoms like difficulty of breathing, and even respiratory failure. There are instances when the sensorium of the patient may change and a multi-organ failure ensues, eventually leading to death. Where before I keep reminding our readers that Clinical data ( which is gathered through a thorough history taking and physical examination ), plays a central role in the diagnosis, in this particular instance, avian flu influenza A viral infections cannot be detected through clinical data alone. A history of travel to an affected country coupled with the signs and symptoms as discussed above should alert the Clinician on the possibility of the illness. Thus, the 3rd thing that we need to understand: in instances where laboratory testing is a MUST be examination, it is important that we adhere to the required specimen for submission. For viral infections, a nose or throat swab from the sick person during the first few days of the disease is collected and sent to the Laboratory. Molecular testing or culture is done and not all Laboratories have the capacity to do the test. In developed countries, they are most capable of performing the examination, but, in countries like our loreche/PAGE 7

Your family tree

ver hear the expressions “Like father, like son?” or “The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree?” Two families in America were studied for many years. One was the Max Jukes family; the other was the Jonathan Edwards family. What was discovered in this study is very interesting. Max Jukes was a man who did not believe in God or strong principles of right and wrong, and he married a woman like himself. More than 1,200 of their descendants were studied for several generations. 310 became professional beggars; 440 died of sexually transmitted diseases; 130 were sent to prison, 7 of them for murder; over 100 became alcoholics; 60 became professional thieves and robbers; and 190 became prostitutes. Only 20 learned a profession, and10 of those learned their trade in prison. Jonathan Edwards, however, was a man who daily lived by the principles of Jesus Christ, and he chose to

The recent growth of the BPO’s are not fueled by low value call centers but by high value knowledge process in the global legal system, general accounting and software animations. This confirms confidence among the foreign and international companies that our local manpower can handle well the technology solutions of various business applications aside from seeing the cost effectiveness of labor to skills and competence among Filipinos. The success of this industry are inspirations for property developers to built high rise office buildings which enjoys tax incentives from the Board of Investments through the Economic Processing Zones or EPZA. A grant of P27.3 million by the Asian Development Bank to the Department of Science and Technology for educational programs for skills enhancement in the BPO sector is already in place according to Sen. Edgardo Angara the Vice Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.

own, we may have to send the specimens to a central laboratory that has the capability to do it. 4th, diseases caused by a new strain like H7N9, vaccines may still be a thing of the future. Anti-viral drugs may be used as the mainstay in treating these patients, but the possibility of the emergence of a drug resistant viral strain is something that we need to watch out for. Getting the vaccine for the common influenza may help though in minimizing some of the effects of the new strain, should one get were affected with the infection. L a s t l y, t h e unpredictability of what and how far the H7N9 virus can go, in terms of spread , should not make us sleep on what we each must do: proper hand washing, and the cooking of poultry meat all the way, with vigilance as to the source of the poultry, and keeping one’s immune system strong, are simple measures that can help us fight against the disease.

incompetence to the highest levels which has become fashionable in government and worst of all, liars! Lest we forget we also have a number of obnoxious senior legislators who do more harm to the country with their impertinence when dealing with foreign investors and banks. They wish only to corrupt the networks driven by inquiries for commerce and prosperity vis-à-vis their personal pockets. But whose fault is all this anyway? While the finger clearly points to the thieves in government there are also the people to blame who put them there. The election is the people’s arm, and weapon to rid us of these monsters but it is seemingly evident that the people are much too disadvantaged to even see a solution other than propel the monsters. If media is the platform for this sustaining business model to keep the people ignorant, it should be its head we need to eradicate as well.

It is clearly true that our children end up following our example much more than following our advice! You cannot train up your child in the way you’re not going yourself.

SHOWBIZ PEEK Anne Curtis being considered for ‘Hannibal’ series Being considered as one of the cast members of the new American TV series Hannibal (currently being broadcast on NBC) by the creator/producer Br yan Fuller, Anne Curtis said that she was really flattered. During the press con of Wrigleys and Cinema One held April 18, she related how the whole thing came out.

“It was a pleasant surprise. PR Asia was the one who tweeted and suggested. Nung sumagot si Mr.Billy, ‘Oh I’d really love to. Anne is amazing.’ Halos mahimatay talaga ako dun sa event the moment I heard the news. But I have to audition for it. But I think we all know that when it comes to cameos like that you have to take time to audition and travel

there,” Anne said when asked by Push.com during a joint press con. But, even if it’s every actor’s/actress’ dream to make it to Hollywood, Anne said that she’s not ready to risk her flourishing career in the Philippines even for that very rare opportunity. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, y u n g commitment ko sa Showtime, hindi pa pwede.

Nino Shrine in Barangay Libertad, said the culture of vote-buying in Butuan had been in place since the 1960’s. “This culture of vote buying has long been used here in Butuan since the golden years of logging in the 60s. Back then, they would persuade you with several kilos of rice and cans of sardines in exchange for your vote. This concept had been left unchecked and passed from one generation to the next,” he said. Cepeda also stressed the problem is “deeply rooted in family values.” “The church, schools and even the media had never failed to promote and remind the people about responsible vot i ng. But all of these will be useless if within the home itself, family members had shown their children that receiving money for their votes during election is acceptable,” the priest said. Jody Navarra, a civ i l society activist in Butuan City, claimed that family members have been used in past elect ions in t he distribution of money to buy votes. Most of the time, heads of families were the ones who bring the names of the family members to political groups to sell their votes, he said. (Mindanews) Nava r ra sa id he had witnessed the trend of vote buying in the city since the 1950s, blaming such practice also to poor family values. “The culture of fraud through vote buying had been passed dow n from g r a n d p a r e nt s t o t h e i r grandchildren. And because of the hard times and frustrations from the p ol it ic a l a nd e le c tor a l system, the younger generation would accept and take the money and earn from it,” he said.

as airports and highways in areas where there are at least seven tourist destinations relatively adjacent to each other. “In Palawan,” Jimenez explained, “tourists don’t just go to the Underwater Caves, they also try zip lines, deer watching expedition, scuba diving and other travel experiences.” “But the most important point here is that there are jobs waiting to be generated in each local tourist destination.” The DOT had just received $7M for training of local guides and other tourism related jobs. The agency is also finalizing details for the awarding and recognition of local citizens in promoting tourist destinations. Sec. Jimenez stressed that tourism starts and originates in the local level. Moving Force Behind Tourism Campaign When Sec. Jimenez was asked to compare his career in advertising and his job as DOT secretary, he replied, “There is no difference between promoting a brand and the country, except that for my current job, I cannot fail. I must succeed.” Secretary Mon Jimenez shared his insight behind his most successful project yet, the “More Fun in the Philippines” slogan. “It was all about the

participation of Filipinos, especially the youth.” For him, the campaign proved Filipinos need not wait for DOT or other government agencies in promoting the beauty of the country. For this purpose, social media has been a most useful and effective medium. “Social Media is about people checking with each other whether something is for real. Now, the success of the Philippines has been checked, double checked and triple checked. And it’s true: it is more fun in the Philippines. Now that propagates the story even more.” “Tourism is love of country expressed as a warm welcome. So please, do two things,” the secretary encouraged all Filipinos, “talk about the Philippines and the second is, talk about it some more.”

The widening of the Mactan Island Circumferential Road on the other hand, can ease traffic going to world-class resorts and other tourist destinations in Mactan island as well as cut travel time by 15 minutes from Cebu City to Mactan. “We are focusing on projects that benefit the majority” ….”that can lead to concrete directions,” said the President as the crowd cheered him on. Aquino said his “Tuwid Na Daan” policy of good governance, especially for significant projects involved

the five Rs including the right project, right price, right people and right time. The President a ls o took the opportunity to highlight his administration’s achievements on antipoverty, education and in agriculture. Pres. Aquino said so much has changed in the almost three years since he assumed office as he guaranteed that more good changes and reforms will come until his term ends in 2016. “That is why I ask you to elect leaders that are behind me so that changes and reforms for the better will continue,” said the President. The President stayed in Toledo City for an hour before rushing to his fourth and last engagement at the Capitol attended by a 65,000 crowd at peak as he rallied the people to support and elect his local bets.

Senatorial candidate Mrs. Hanep Buhay Cynthia Villar, whose family’s Villar Foundation has been helping the overseas Filipino workers, has asked the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to provide assistance to Filipinos abroad in exercising their right of suffrage under the overseas absentee voting.

Villar urges DFA to help Filipino voters abroad

NACIONA LISTA Pa r t yTe a m P n o y s e n a t o r i a l candidate Cynthia Villar urged Philippine embassy and consulate personnel abroad to extend all possible assistance to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) as they exercise their right of suffrage under the overseas absentee voting (OAV) starting on Saturday, April 13. “We urge all officials and personnel in Philippine embassies and consulate offices abroad to go out of their way and extend all forms of assistance they can give to the more than 900,000 Filipinos abroad who are qualified to vote under the

absentee voting law,” Villar said. Villar, a former Las Pinas Congresswoman, said she and her husband, Senator Manny Villar, have been longtime advocates of granting Filipinos aboard to the right to participate in national elections. “We are aware that in past elections, many of our workers aboard who are qualified absentee voters were not able to vote due to several problems in their working places,” Villar said. “We are hoping that in this elections, more and more Filipinos aboard will be able to vote and exercise their duty

in selecting the leaders of this country.” At t h e s a m e t i m e , Villar said Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) personnel should see to it that the conduct of the overseas absentee vote should be honest and orderly in order to maintain the integrity of the process. “Allowing our OFWs t o p a r t i c ip a t e i n o u r elections is one significant way we can acknowledge their contribution to the country,” Villar explain. “They are our modern-day
