Duterte to run for president if whole Leyte supports him

C

ornered by young student leaders who publicly told him that he was their only hope for a corruption and crime free Philippines, Davao City Mayor Rody Duterte today said he would be willing to run for President if the whole of Leyte will support him.

In another rare moment where he candidly responded to questions about his position on the presidency, Duterte's "Ormoc Declaration" was met with a thunderous applause by a huge crowd at the Western Leyte College Auditorium which included political and civic leaders and student leaders from five big schools in Ormoc City.

"But you better watch out. If I will lose in Leyte, I will come back to get all of you," he told the crowd in jest which roared with laughter.

Today's declaration of willingness to run for President, on

certain conditions, was the second such statement made by Duterte, the colorful Mayor of Davao City who is being pushed by many sectors to vie for the country's highest political position because of his reputation of being a nononsense local leader who turned his city into the 4th Safest City in the World to Live In. He is also known as one of the few government officials who has stayed clear of issues of corruption in his over 22 years as Mayor of Davao City.

On Feb. 18 in Dagupan City, Duterte also made an indirect statement that he was willing to

run for President "if only to save the country from being fractured."

What made Duterte's Ormoc visit remarkable aside from the huge turn-out at the Western Visayas College Federalism Forum was the unity shown by opposing political groups in Ormoc City.

Duterte was welcomed by Ormoc City Mayor Edward Codilla and the Codilla political clan.

Later, he was also received

by Vice Mayor Toto Larrazabal Locsin, an ally of Cong. Lucy Torres-Gomez, whose husband, movie actor Richard Gomez, lost to Mayor Codilla in 2013.

In his speech on Federalism, Duterte emphasized the need to implement institutional changes in the country to address problems of corruption, drugs, criminality and the Bangsamoro issue.

During the open forum where he responded to questions fielded mostly by outspoken student leaders, Duterte explained that

Federalism will be the best back up to the Bangsamoro Basic Law which is facing rough railing in Congress and the Senate and is expected to be rejected by the Supreme Court because of some un-Constitutional provisions, like the creation of an independent regional police force for the Bangsamoro and a separate armed forces.

Duterte said he also does not approve of an autonomous police force or a separate armed forces for the Bangsamoro area because this could create a big security problem in the future.

It was towards the end of the question and answer portion when young student leaders confronted Duterte and asked him what he was willing to sacrifice for the sake of the country and the youth.

"If the whole of Leyte will support me, I will run for President but if I lose here, you better watch out because I will come back to

DTI provides 8 Timbangan ng Bayan scales to Tagum City

By MICHAEL L UY

DAVAO DEL NORTE - The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) – Davao del Norte donated recently eight weighing scales to the City Government of Tagum, which will posted in different areas in the city’s public market.

Romeo Castañaga, proDECIDED - Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte says he is still firm on his plan to run vincial director of DTI, said for Mayor if his father will run for president. But the young Duterte said he will respect that the weighing scales as his father’s decision on who he will he choose to run for the mayoralty post. (Ace R.

get all of you," he said earning a loud applause from the crowd.

Duterte was born in Maasin, Southern Leyte but was later brought to Davao City by his parents, Vicente Duterte and Soledad Roa, where Vicente served as Governor of the empire province of Davao and Soledad as public school teacher.

When flash floods hit Ormoc City in 1991 killing almost 8,000 residents, Duterte led a relief and rescue contingent from Davao City to help.

In November 2013, when Super Typhoon Yolanda devastated Leyte, Samar and other Visayan provinces, Duterte was also the first among the local officials to arrive with relief and rescue teams.

"Some of you may not know it but I was with you in your moments of despair and grief," Duterte said during the press conference held before the Federalism Forum.

Tagum City will serve as inspection tools for consumers to check if the mass of the product that they bought is equivalent to the amount they paid.

“These scales will persuade the people to be more vigilant and to exercise their rights as consumers,” Castañaga said.

He said that the consumers may complain to the City Market Administrator on weekdays or Safety

Management Officer on duty during weekends or holidays if they found that there is inconsistency in the seller’s weighing scale.

Castañaga added that the local government unit can confiscate the seller’s scale if despite warnings, it will still be defective.

“The LGU can also penalize the vendor depending on their local policies,” he said.

EDITOR: RUEL V. PELONE • ruel_pelone2002@yahoo.com

On Federalism and presidency Davao City- Mayor Rodrigo Duterte continued to give a categorical answer on whether or not he will run for President in 2016. The first time that he has come close to a positive reply was when he was interviewed at ‘Give Us This Day’ televised program of Pastor Apollo C. Quibiloy. In response to a text message which urged him to run for President, Mayor Duterte told the TV audience and those from the gallery watching the show live to first seriously consider those from the “North”, meaning Binay, Roxas and Poe, and that if any of the three does not meet the their expectation then look “South” obviously referring to himself.

He repeated the same suggestive response when he spoke in Dagupan where he added that he “is willing to run to save the country from being fractured”. But just when the Duterte watchers start to celebrate, the shrewd mayor would issue another statement in yet another forum that as far as he is concerned the Presidency is “a long shot”. Which is which?

Over the weekend in Rockwell, Makati where Duterte was invited to speak before Metro Manila’s Architects and Construction moguls, the Mayor focused his talk on Federalism, crime and punishment. He gave a bit of history on how the present unitary government was handed down from Spanish conquestadores and perpetuated by the Americans. “The unitary system was meant to tighten control on the Filipinos. When we were ceded to the Americans, they did not change the system to Federal because they want to deal only with the central government”, Duterte said. The mayor also explained that the

Editorial

conflict in Mindanao can be effectively and permanently addressed under the Federal

System.

With Duterte, Filipinos are urged to support the Federal System of government . When the regions are given just autonomy they will be able to make and implement their own plans according tp their needs and not on the whims of the central government.

Under a Federal System the regional governments or states will retain at least 60 percent of the revenues collected and remit only 40% to the central government for its upkeep. Duterte lamented that under the present set up the local government units remits all collections to the national treasury and wait for their share which will come as internal revenue allotment.

People want to see him and feel his pulse. The mayor never ran short of expletives when he explains on how he deals with criminals. He confessed that he ran afoul of the Commission of Human Rights but reasons out that he “would rather go to hell so that my constituents will be in paradise”.

In each of his speaking engagements, a brief video about the mayor as a courageous political leader and as a person with a soft heart for the afflicted is shown on a wide screen. This is a come-on for a political plan.

The video clip also shows UP Prof. Clarita Carlos spoke highly of Duterte as a man of determination and political will and being intelligently courageous.

Quo Vadis, Mayor?

The Jesuits outlook in Mindanao The other day, the Jesuit-run Xavier University, reportedly issued a statement to assure parents of graduating students that Mohagher Iqbal, the chief peace negotiator of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) will join the 75th Commencement Exercises on March 26, 2015 sans armed bodyguards.

In other words, the university will go on in conferring the Fr. Masterson Award to Iqbal and two other peace negotiators from the government panel. In other words, the university refuses to listen to the public clamor of deferring the award to a more conducive

time.

The University officials argued that the decision to extend the recognition to Iqbal, Sec. Teresita Deles and Prof. Meriam CoronerFerrer, all of the Office of the Presidential Adviser for Peace Process (OPAPP), would go on amid protests.

They said that the people are asking the postponement of the recognition because of the Mamapasano tragedy on January 25, 2015 that resulted in the carnage of 44 members of the PNP’s elite Special Action Force (SAF).

However, the Mamapasano “massacre” occurred two months after the university’s Board of Trustees has made

the decision. Thus, nothing can stop the university from conferring the awards.

As said, nobody is protesting the award. After all, it is the right of the university

to confer awards to anyone they believed “deserving and fair.” Yet, an award coming from a credible university like the Xavier University should be on the ground of public acceptability – not that the award is simply to satiate the whims of one or two school officials.

What the public is protesting is that the recognition award does not serve its purpose at all. The parents, alumni, and the people on the sidelines share the common perception that the “peace process” is still going on.

BCWD sees solution to Butuan water problems in PPP project

B

By PAT SAMONTE, Regional Editor Caraga

UTUAN City - In the aftermath of Typhoon Seniang in December last year, water production output of Butuan City Water District (BCWD) plunged to 20 percent.

The resulting shortage exposed the water firm to flaks from all quarters some of whom called for the resignation of BCWD General Manager Anselmo Sang Tian.

The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement between BCWD and Equiparco Construction Company (EPCC)-TwinPeak Hydro Resources Corporation-(THRC) Joint Venture for a P565-million Bulk Water Supply and Water

Treatment project was put in question especially by those interested in the project.

Engineers who looked into the cause of the sudden production slowdown, discovered that the steel cover of Manhole No. 4 in Taguibo River was missing which allowed sand, gravel and other debris to penetrate the infiltration gallery, thereby clogging the passage of water toward the main transmission pipeline.

BCWD Senior Public

DOLE set to distribute over P2.4M amount of checks for livelihood projects in SurSur TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Norte– The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Field Office in Surigao del Sur is set to distribute on March 10-11 a total of P2, 474, 353 in checks of various amount to some local government units (LGUs) here.

Raymond Fel Sajor, DOLE provincial office chief, said Bottom-Up Budget (BUB) projects in the amount of P2 million will go to Lingig town, the southernmost municipality, 204 kilometers away from this city.

The BUB projects to be funded in said locality include the canteen and school supplies of Lingig Out-of-School Youth (OSY) Federation—P500,000; parlor/beauty services (beauty saloon) of Lingig Beautician Federation—P500,000; food processing (malunggay and squash noodles production) of Lingig Self-Employment Assistance para sa Kaunlaran (SEA-K)—P300,000; fishnet, bag and slipper-making of Sabang Pantawid Fishermen Organization—P300,000; and water refilling/purifying station of Municipal Federation of Senior Citizen—P400,000.

Also, a separate check amounting to P44,220 for Emer-

gency Employment Program is going to be released for Barangay Anibongan in the same town.

Meanwhile, the milkfish cage farming of San Juan Fish Cage Association in Hinatuan town and the youth organization of Andres Soriano College in Bislig City are set to receive P271,133 and P159,000, respectively, under the DOLE Integrated Livelihood and Emergency Employment Projects (DILEEP), Sajor bared.

(NGBT/Greg Tataro Jr., Radyo ng Bayan-Tandag/PIA-Surigao del Sur)

Relations Officer Ramil Barquin said It was possible that the steel cover was intentionally removed to worsen the effects of Typhoon Seniang on the water firm’s facility. “It was unlikely that strong river currents could dislodge the heavy cover,” he surmised.

The infiltration gallery is a network of perforated pipes located five meters below the river. It is used to collect water through intervening sand and gravel filters going to the main transmission line. BCWD personnel closed the gallery during heavy rains.

Beng lauds 2 Zamboangueños included in PMA’s top 10

Z

AMBOANGA City - Mayor Beng Climaco has expressed jubilation, as two Zamboangueños are included in the top 10 of the Philippine Military Academy’s Sinag-Lahi Class 2015.

The two are Genesis Salvador Dizon of Sta. Maria, who will graduate top 2 of the class and Steven Tali of Lower Calarian, top 8.

The two are part of the 171 PMA cadets who will be graduating on March 15 in Camp del Pilar in Baguio City with President Noynoy Aquino as the honoured

guest.

“Zamboanga City is very proud to have two of its sons included in the Top 10 of the Sinaglahi PMA Class,” the mayor said with pride, hoping that their accomplishments will serve as inspiration to other young Zamboangueños to always aim for the best in

everything they do.

“Our message to them is to live by courage, integrity and loyalty as Zamboangueños, to be courageous in meeting their assignments wherever they will be sent.

We live in a community where peace and instability is a challenge, carry on as ambassadors of peace!”

Mayor Climaco said.

The life stories of two Zamboangueno PMA cadets are very inspiring.

Dizon, class salutatorian, was motivated to join the military by his father who served the Armed Forces for many years. Steven Tali on the other hand, is the proud son of a humble fish vendor, who single-handedly sent his four children including Steven to school after his wife left him several years ago.

The class name SinagLahi comes from the Filipino phrase “Sundalong Isinilang na may Angking Galing at Lakas, Handang Ipaglaban ang Bayan— “Soldiers born with natural abilities and strength who are ready to fight for the country.” (Sheila Covarrubias)

Extortion, threats hamper road project implementation in Zambo. Norte, says DPWH-9 IPIL, Zamboanga Sibugay – Although the military officials have belied reports that the delay in the construction of the west coast road project in Zamboanga del Norte was due to peace and order problem, an official of the Department of

Public Works and Highways (DPWH)-9 averred that extortion and threats from lawless groups had prevented the contractors from pursuing the project.

In the 150th Regional Development Council (RDC) meeting held here last March 5, Assistant Regional Director Nenita Robles of DPWH-9 told the participants that the contractors of the west coast road project traversing the municipalities Baliguian,

Siocon, Sirawai, and Sibuco in Zamboanga del Norte to Zamboanga City were receiving extortion letters and threats from the lawless elements operating in the area.

Robles also disclosed that some of the contractors’ heavy equipment were allegedly burned down by their own workers for nonpayment of wages.

Teacher’s Views

Professional Development in Summer

By Edna M. Dolauta Raw-an Point Elementary School Baroy South District, Lanao del Norte

Many teachers are already identified to be one among those who will undergo training in the months of April and May this year, all in different learning areas. For the l to 12 program, this summer will be for teachers handling Grade IV and Grade 10 to be conducted by DepEd Central Office. Handling Grade II learners exempt me from attending the annual training, unless if identified to be one of the trainers, so fortunate will I be.

On the other hand, many opportunities are slated in summer for professional growth. Other than the K to 12 training, a lot is in store for all teachers. These include school activities like Summer Reading Camp, ALS Summer Learning Camp, trainings sponsored

by Division and Region, and other activities scheduled by organizations with an

aim to enhance teaching pedagogy.

The websites of the Department in national, regional and division are best sources of information for all the above-mentioned activities. Moreover, communicating with the appropriate DepEd officials is a big help.

There is no stopping in the acquisition of learning.

It is from this practice that everyone grows professionally other than adding the stock of knowledge already stored in the hypothalamus.

For educators, summer is one avenue to meet the target of doing so.

Believing that education is a continuous process, all opportunities to learn has to be grasped because out from the experiences and trainings that we have attended are best shields for the ignorance and hunger of learning.

Music here is considered as a fundamental component of human culture and behavior. This subject targets to touch learning domains among students, including the development of skills, acquisition of knowledge, and willingness to receive, internalize, and share what is learned, including music appreciation

and sensitivity.

Physical Education is also a component of MAPEH. It is an educational course related to the physique of the human body and encourages psychomotor learning in a play or movement exploration setting to promote health.

DIARRHEA is the condition of having at least three loose or liquid bowel movements in a single day. Loose but non-watery stool in babies who are breastfed however may be normal. The most common cause of diarrhea is an infection of the intestines due to either a virus, bacteria or parasite – a condition known as gastroenteritis.

These infections are often acquired from food or water that has been contaminated.

You can also acquire diarrhea which is also called as intestinal or stomach flu through eating foods that upset the digestive system or simply allergies to certain foods.

One common type of diarrhea is the traveler’s diarrhea. It is a digestive

tract disorder that commonly causes loose stools and abdominal cramps. It’s caused by eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water. Fortunately, traveler’s diarrhea usually isn’t serious – it’s just unpleasant. Being careful about what you eat and drink can reduce your risk of traveler’s diarrhea.

Oral rehydration solution which is clean water with modest amounts of salts and sugar is the treatment of choice. Zinc tablets are also recommended. Loperamide may also help decrease the number of bowel movement.

About 1.7 to five billion cases of diarrhea occur per year. There are many causes of infectious diarrhea which include viruses, bacteria and

parasites. Infectious diarrhea is frequently referred to as gastroenteritis. Norovirus is the most common cause of viral diarrhea in adults but rotavirus is the most common cause in children under five years old. In sanitary living conditions where there is ample food and a supply of clean water, an otherwise healthy person usually recovers from viral infections in two days.

Prop e r nut r it i on is important for health and functioning, including the prevention of infectious diarrhea. It is especially important to young children who do not have a fully developed immune system.

Zinc deficiency, a condition often found in children in

developing countries can even in mild cases, have a significant impact on the development and proper functioning of the human immune system. Indeed, this relationship between zinc deficiency reduced immune functioning corresponds with an increased severity of infectious diarrhea.

In many cases of diarrhea, replacing lost fluid and salts is the only treatment needed. Oral rehydration solution can be used to prevent dehydration. In fact, you can concoct your own ORS at home. The Mayo Clinic suggests half a teaspoon of salt, six level teaspoons of water and one liter of water. The optimal fluid is plain, clean water.

Fresh Gospel of the day: (March12, 2015-Thursday)Luke 11:14-23”And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute; when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed.

But some of them said, “He casts out demons

by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.” Others, to test Him, were demanding of Him a sign from heaven.

But He knew their thoughts and said to them, “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls. If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons

by Beelzebul. “And if I

by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? So they will be your judges. “But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

tion of the efforts of the OPAPP and the MILF in forging a peace pact that remains fragile and full of infirmities. Supposed the peace pact between the MILF and the government fails in the coming days, of what importance will the recognition bears? Scrap!

Anyway, Xavier University knows that the recognition award is only for the time being. The university officials never care less about whether the MILF and the government peace pact would prosper in the near future. What is certain is that the university has expressed its full support to the peace initiative. After all, the university has nothing to lose, but only a fraction of guarded credibility.

Everyone who reads a lot knows that the Jesuits, being one of the riches in the island in terms of properties and investments, have stakes in Mindanao. The university does not only focus on education that purportedly teaches the “vow of poverty,” but also at the prospect of other businesses and enterprising endeavors.

With the prospect of the creation of the “Bangsamoro Entity” in lieu of the abolition of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), the Jesuits in Mindanao is now laying the red carpet for the future. There are talks that the Liguasan marsh is rich with oil and mineral resources. Thus, perhaps, Xavier University and the Jesuit community are eyeing a stake the exploration and development of oil in the heartland of Mindanao.

An earlier relationship with the MILF and other Moro stakeholders in Central Mindanao will provide the Jesuits a favorable atmosphere of trust and confidence. If plans do not miscarry, the Jesuits will certainly have an upper hand among others in the Liguasan Marsh. -0- react: crisguardian@yahoo.com

“Learning from Typhoon Sendong in 2011, our priority in Cagayan de Oro City is the construction and maintenance of flood mitigation structures and drainage systems,” said Singson.

DPWH has allotted P772 million for flood control projects in the city, which covers: two Cagayan de Oro City River Basin Flood Control Projects worth 400 million; three Iponan Flood Control Projects worth P300 million; two upgrading projects of Bigaan Creek worth P70 million; and construction of drainage system at Tejero Street, in Barangay Patag costing P2 million.

Secretary Singson said the projects would mitigate if not prevent flooding in Cagayan de Oro City, protecting the people from overflow of rivers and creeks, especially during onslaught of typhoons.

Aside from flood control projects, other major projects allocated for Cagayan de Oro City include the P300-million completion of Cagayan de Oro Convention Center; P118 million widening of Butuan City-Cagayan de Oro City-Iligan City Road and the P68 million construction of Sapang Bridge along Butuan Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Road, Kauswagan Section. dpwh.gov.ph

Saquiran said that the neighbors who responded to the call for help have to chop the dog’s head from its body and later freed Macatol.

He said that the neighbors only applied natural treatment to the dog bite, which later proved fatal because the animal could have been infected with rabies virus.

to coordinate with the Philippine National Police in a joint law enforcement operation against the BIFF purportedly to “protect the communities.”

“I am saddened by the news that at least 20,000 people had been displaced by the violent attacks perpetrated by the BIFF in the

hinterland villages. We will do our best to protect the people and allow them to go back to their homes,” GMA News quoted him as saying. The 20,000 he was refererng to was apparently the number of persons due to the BIFF-MILF conflict.

But the “all-out offensive” against the BIFF which started on February 27, triggered mass evacuations of triple that number in 11 towns in 12 days.

The NDRRMC figures, posted on March 7, does not say how many evacuees had returned home.

The Protection Cluster Philippines and UN High Commissioner on Refugees in its IDP Protection Assessment Report, Issue No. 7 noted that as of March 10, there are 68,354 persons displaced in Maguindanao (68,019) and Pikit in North Cotabato province (355) from the skirmishes between the MILF and BIFF and later between the military and the BIFF. It said that in the displacement due to MILFBIFF conflict, that a total of 6,383 families or 34,925 persons were displaced, of whom 5,630 families or 31,171 persons had returned home while 753 families or 3,754 persons have not.

In the conflict between the military and the BIFF, a total of 12,920 families or 64,600 persons have been displaced, of whom 12,538 families or 62,690 persons are inside evacuation centers while 382 families or 1,910 persons are outside evacuation centers.

“As of this posting, another armed encounter took place in the interior of Barangay Dapiawan Datu Saudi Ampatuan municipality and Barangay Pamalian, Shariff Saydona municipality. Community residents of Barangay Lower Masigay, Datu Salibo municipality evacuated to national highway,” the Protection Cluster said in its 6:04 p.m. posting on March 10.

MindaNews asked Capt.

Jo-Ann Petingly, chief of the Public Affairs Office of the Army’s 6th Infantry Division in Camp Siongco, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao, how many combatants had been killed and wounded since Catapang’s “all-out offensive” declaration. Television reports had said at least 70 members of the BIFF had been killed but did not say how many

bodies were accounted for.

Petingaly’s reply: “As per consolidated reports, there are about 70 plus BIFF killed.” But only four bodies of the BIFF were accounted for in the 12-day operations, she said.

On the part of the military, six soldiers were killed and 23 others wounded.

“We are hoping to finish the operation the soonest para makabalik na din po ang mga mamamayan sa kanilang mga tahanan” (so the residents can return to their homes), Petinglay added.

Emano orders vaccination of dogs in MisOr

By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

MISAMIS Oriental––Provincial Governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano on Tuesday ordered the vaccination of dogs in Misamis Oriental to get rid of the deadly rabies.

Rabies, a fatal viral disease that affects the central nervous systems of most warm-blooded animals and is transmitted in the saliva of an infected animal, is usually prevalent in stray and pet dogs.

Rabies causes convulsions, inability to move, and untypical behavior such as fear of water, air, light, and in the case of “furious rabies,” the tendency to attack anything that moves.

Dr. Benjie Resma, provincial veterinarian of Misamis Oriental, said that Emano has ordered the vaccination of dogs in the province at the start of March, also known as “Anti-rabies month.”

Resma said that the provincial government has already vaccinated an initial total of 5,000 animals in 10 municipal towns in Misamis Oriental since the anti-rabies campaign kicks off this month.

Resma also advised those bitten by dogs to wash the wound thoroughly for, at least, 15 minutes with clean water, soap, detergent, or bethadine.

After washing the wound, it is advisable that the patient proceed to the nearest clinic or hospital for an anti-rabies vaccine, he said.

He said that Animals with rabies transfer the virus to other animals and to people via saliva following a bite or via a scratch.

“The transmission of this rabies virus is considered to be exclusively from animal to human,” Resma said.

According to Resma, a dog with rabies infection would die two to three days after infection.

He said that Misamis Oriental ranked no. 3 with rabies cases in 2014 because of Cagayan De Oro City, which top the nationwide rabies tally board during the same year.

City High to construct new schoolbuilding in new campus Story and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO Lifestyle Editor

I

T’s definitely a dream come true for the Cagayan de Oro National High School community. For the first time since 1968, City High will have a new sprawling campus and a new four-level 80-classroom schoolbuilding constructed.

Currently cramped at 8th-2nd with a population of 4,651 students and 156 teachers in only 36 classrooms, City High has to endure holding emergency classes i.e. one batch in the morning and another in the afternoon using the same classrooms.

But with the construction of the new schoolbuilding and the onset of senior high as K to 12 compliance, City High will enjoy a less dense complex resulting to a more conducive learning atmosphere soon.

Culled from the city government’s Special Education Fund, the construction of the new schoolbuilding is expected to complete this December and can thus be used by June 2016.

Mayor Oscar Moreno especially thanked the owner of the property, Lydia Uy, for the realization of the

Department of Tourism (DOT) 10 director enjoys shopping at SM Supermarket.

project.

Moreno was earlier saddened upon learning after he immediately assumed office that City High was holding emergency classes.

With the help of the Local School Board whose members mostly come from the private academe, City Hall was scouting for prime property that is ideal for the new campus of City High.

Then Uy came along and offered her assistance.

“This is the biggest school in the division of Cagayan de Oro and the city’s pride. This will redefine the future of Cagayan de Oro,” Moreno said.

“What we are doing now is dedicated to the young men and women in our city in order to mold a culture of leadership and of excellence,” he added.

The faces of Cagayan de Oro National High School principal Gina Labitad and the students said it all – they were extremely happy for this milestone that has come their way in the City High community after decades of negligence.

“This is a dream come true and we thank Mayor Moreno for his birthday gift to our children,” Nazareth barangay chair Jocelyn Rodriguez jived in during the ceremony.
