DAVAO City––The Philippine government (GPH) and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) peace panels have addressed more than half of the issues that need to be resolved to come up with a “mutually acceptable” draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) but with only one day left and several contentious issues still unresolved, they may not be able to complete the task at the end of their 10-day “workshop” here on Sunday.

“We will try,” MILF peace panel chair Mohagher Iqbal said early Saturday morning.

2nd Kadayawan Durian fest opens as Davao marks festival of festivals

By MARLON GAYOG Davao News Bureau

IN time for the celebration of the 29th Kadayawan sa Dabaw, the Durian Industry Council of Davao City (DICDC) together with the Department of Agriculture (DA) 11 formally opens the 2nd Kadayawan Durian Festival at the SM Lanang

Premier.

The month-long celebration showcases the bountiful harvest of the city not only the King of fruits which is Durian but also the different varieties of fruits that Davao City is rich in.

DA assistant regional director of operations Ma. Febe Orbe reported that Mindanao’s annual produc-

tion of Durian reached to more than 90 thousand MT last year wherein the 70 thousand metric tons were produced in Davao Region, Seventy thousand MT is the total regional production of which 56 thousand MT were produced by Davao City.

“Before, we only produce durian for its fresh

fruit product. But today, we already have various durian products such as semiprocessed, durian candies, durian bars, durian chips, and other durian pastries such as cakes and pies,” Orbe explained.

She also bared that the marketing of durian is limited to a certain portion of the domestic market since

it has been known for its bad smell.

“But recently, through all the promotion efforts, fresh durian has gained popularity in domestic and even in export markets,” she added.

Orbe also emphasized that the agriculture sector is aware of the challenges See Festival, page A7

Lumads, DENR sign deal on foreign-funded project

By Walter I. Balane of MindaNews

MALAYBALAY City–– Leaders of indigenous peoples in Bukidnon signed a memorandum of agreement with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources for a foreignfunded watershed management project to ensure protection of their customs and traditions and to express their cooperation.

Datu Migketay Victorino Saway led tribal leaders in the signing during the launching Thursday of the P6.31-billion (US$154.1 million) Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project (INREMP), which covers Bukidnon and three other provinces in the Philippines.

Aside from Saway, 11 other tribal leaders acted as signatories for Bukidnon’s seven tribes. Datu Salimbangon Magdalino C. Pandian, the IP man-

datory representative to the provincial board, was listed as chieftain of the Manobo tribe.

In an earlier press conference, DENR officials said the project aims to reduce and reverse degradation of watersheds in four river basins in the country.

The Upper Bukidnon River Basin covers six watersheds with a total land area of 479,871 hectares in 15 towns and three cities in Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental. Sixty-nine percent of the population in those areas are indigenous peoples, according to the DENR presentation to reporters.

Dr. Felix Mirasol, chief of DENR-Bukidnon, said that after eight consultative meetings with the indigenous peoples, their leaders demanded a “cultural impact assessment study” before the project may start.

In the launching, the DENR signed a total of seven

memoranda of agreement, the rest with local government units concerned.

The MOA requires, among others, the formulation of an Indigenous Peoples’ Plan (IPP) “to ensure that implementation of the project will be in line with the principles and mandates of the Indigenous Communities Conserved Areas (ICCA).” The ICCA “promotes peace, empowerment and rights to selfdetermination among IPs.”

The IPP is a requirement in the ADB Safeguard Policy for Indigenous Peoples.

The signatory tribal leaders, according to the MOA, must also create an IP advisory council from the seven tribes to provide guidance and mentoring on customary laws and practices. The council must also recommend “appropriate action, plan, and policy” to be adopted by the INREMP’s Project Policy Management Council, which will have

one member from the indigenous peoples.

The advisory council will review and recommend approval of all project proposals affecting the IPs “in order to ensure that projects requested or initiated by the communities will be sensitive to the cultures and traditions of the indigenous peoples.”

The MOA also provides for compensation for Lumads “who may lose their social support systems or

ways of life so that a project can proceed” the amount of which will be based on “mutually agreed” terms.

It further states that the document will serve as “free and prior informed consent” of the seven tribes of Bukidnon.

But a source at the NCIP said they have to validate the MOA in the communities for it to be considered a valid FPIC process.

GENERAL SANTOS CITY - Foreign-backed Sagittarius Mines, Inc. (SMI) is eyeing to commence later this year getting the consent of indigenous communities for the controversial Tampakan project, a company executive said.

Hounded by the open pit ban and security threats from armed tribal residents and the communist New People’s Army (NPA), the Tampakan project is touted as the largest known undeveloped copper-gold reserve in Southeast Asia.

In its second quarter report released last week, Brian Phillips, chair of Australian firm Indophil Resources NL, said the Free and Prior Informed Consent (FPIC) process, by “initial indications,” can commence later this year.

Indophil owns 37.5 percent of the 40 percent controlling equity in SMI, with the balance by Glencore Plc. The Mining Industry Coordinating Council (MICCl), an inter-government agency, has requested the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples to commence planning with SMI for the indigenous peoples’ FPIC process, according to the Indophil report lodged with the Australian bourse.

Indophil said the MICC has also directed SMI to commence getting the endorsements of local government units.

“It has started positively”

northmin . westmin . caraga . davao Your Mindanao-wide Community Newspaper

and will continue over the coming months, the company said.

SMI’s plan to develop the Tampakan project has been hampered by the open-pit mining ban imposed by South Cotabato province in 2010.

The bulk of the minerals are concentrated in Tampakan town, South Cotabato.

The Tampakan project also straddles the towns of Columbio in Sultan Kudarat and Kiblawan in Davao Del Sur. The lo c a l C at holic Church and other environment groups have staunchly opposed the Tampakan project over environmental, food security and health concerns.

The Tampakan project area has been stained by blood with several killings that involved the lives of both pro- and anti-mining supporters over the years.

B’laan tribesmen have armed themselves to oppose the mining project, which is also facing security threats from the communist NPA rebels.

Last May, the communist guerillas attacked and burned the base camp of SMI in Barangay Kimlawis in Kiblawan, Davao del Sur. On New Year’s Day 2008, the rebels also stormed and burned the SMI base camp in Barangay Tablu, Tampakan, South Cotabato.

Ellen Grace Subere-Albios, chair of the environment committee of the South Co-

tabato provincial board, said they are planning to hold an environment summit this September to discuss the pros and cons of the Tampakan project.

Constancio Paye Jr., Mines and Geosciences Bu-

reau director for Region 12, has asked anew the provincial board to lift the open-pit mining ban.

The Tampakan project contains an estimated 15 million metric tons of copper and almost 18 million

ounces of gold, with potential for growth, based on the company feasibility study.

The development cost for the Tampakan project was pegged at US$ 5.9 billion, including a “dedicated” power station worth US$

Claims board admit difficulties in all “intake areas”

D

By JOHN RIZLE L. SALIGUMBA, Davao Today

AVAO CITY – A member of the government-created claims board for Martial Law human rights victims admits to having problems in the claims process but said they have plans to remedy the situation.

Atty. Jose Luis Martin Gascon, a member of the Human Rights Victims Claims Board said that they experienced the same problems during “intakes” in other areas.

Gascon was at the Ban-

kerohan Gym where hundreds of claimants lined up to file their claims on the fourth day.

The original schedule is only three days for claimants living in Davao City and which started last August 4

Atty. Jose Luis Martin Gascon, a member of the Human Rights Victims Claims Board.

in Almendras Gym and supposedly ended last August 6.

The board decided to extend it as many more claimants come from other provinces of Mindanao like Davao del Sur, Compostela Valley and Cotabato.

In news reports, claimants complain of a poor process in which they, even senior citizens are made to wait outside the Almendras Gym and outside the Bankerohan Gym where the venue was transferred last August 6.

(The Story: Disorganized system enrages Martial Law claims victims) (Fourth day) - Hundreds of human rights victims of the Martial Law regime lined up to file their claims on the fourth day of the

“intake process” of the Human Rights Victims Claims Board in Davao City.

“Everywhere it’s the same, they don’t have a system,” said Marie Hilao Enriquez, national chairperson of the detainees group Samahan ng mga Ex-Detainees Laban sa Detensyon at Aresto (Selda).

Enriquez is present in Davao City and also went to Legaspi and Iloilo earlier to take complaints and to assist the claimants.

“In every area, it’s almost like this. Let’s say it’s a little difficult and we are trying our best to improve it,” said Gascon who also saw “long queues, long lines” in their trips to Baguio, Legazpi and other provinces in Luzon and in Cotabato, Butuan and Cagayan de Oro.

Gascon said they have “limited budget” which they only have “short days, three days or four days only, limited equipment, three computers and limited personnel.

Gascon said they will “announce in mid-August or September that we will have presence in regional (human rights office) daily” after their board meeting which have the same as part of the agenda.

Gascon said if the said proposal is approved, they have to hire staff.

Davao City Agriculturist Roselio Tabay, Jr, a human rights victim himself, said “the system is poor, inefficient.”

Tabay hinted that “some priority numbers are given to those close-at-heart. It

Essence of Education

By Mary Marjorie C. Jabao Master Teacher I Cugman Elementary School East 1 District Division of Cagayan de Oro City

Education has already been part of almost everyone’s life cycle. It is present even in the old times where our ancestors still have to write in the caves just to exchange shared meaning and communicate with each other.

It is truly important for one to learn and educate his self. Through education, he will realize that

he should be aware in his surroundings because there are goings-on happening around and his involvement is somewhat important.

The importance of education are got known after one finished having it or when one has failed to complete it. It is when the so-called “real life” is already there.

Getting employed is the start of that life. Perhaps, some fresh graduates will say “This is not the same with getting yourself enrolled anymore” but somewhat like applying for a scholarship

where one should present all his credentials in order to be accepted and enjoy the benefits of getting a slot. It is not easy knowing that there are so many people out there who are applying too.

The lessons and realizations one learned from his school are big help in applying for a job, which is equal to salary and better lifestyle. Yes, answers during a job interview might not all given in school but your way of thinking and understanding critical situations and achieving smart

has to be improved,” he said.

Tabay said he was arrested by Philippine Constabulary men on the eve of Valentine’s Day in 1983 in Barangay Matina and was filed with cases of “rebellion and subversion.”

Tabay said he was part of those who “had the ideology that the country’s system must be changed.”

He said he was already then a government worker employed in the Bureau of Agricultural Extension.

“I was only freed two years later, in May 1985 after I was acquitted,” he said.

Tabay said he was detained at Camp Vicente Leonor, or popularly known Camp Catitipan, and like others suffered torture.

Tabay said he “recalled all the horrors” when he began writing his account on the form given by board.

“Right after I walked free from prison our Baex director asked me to report and asked me why I was arrested.

The color of the walls of his room is dirty white like a prison cell. I immediately felt suffocated, I ran out,” he said.

Asked if he regretted the activities that led to his arrest, Tabay said he only “regret getting caught”.

“We stood by our principles, I blamed myself for being lax in security,” he said.

“I can also feel how (human rights victims at present) they feel.” (John Rizle L. Saligumba/davaotoday.com)

decisions are trained inside the school, which are surely additional points during interacting with the company employers.

The purpose of education is to provide direction.

Being educated is nothing if an entity fails to know the true essence of Education and its impact to an individual’s attitude, behaviour, belief and his life in the future. Education is not just learning theories but as well testing its applications in real life.

It is all about learning and educating oneself on how to face nothing else but the real life.

Solon seeks to declare Butuan a tourism zone

By PAT SAMONTE-Caraga Regional Editor

B

UTUAN City – Agusan del Norte First District R e p. L aw re nc e L e mu el Fortun filed last August 5 House Bill 4823 seeking to declare Butuan City as a heritage tourism zone.

“Butuan has a vibrant history and rich cultural heritage. Before colonization, it was called the Kingdom of Butuan and was known f o r i t s m e t a l i n du s t r y and sophisticated naval technology,” Fortun said in the bill’s explanatory note.

The bill is anchored on Section 15 of Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution which says: “The State shall conserve, promote and popularize the nation’s historical and cultural heritage and resources, as well as artistic creations” and Section 10 of the same article, “All the country’s artistic and historic wealth constitutes the cultural treasures of the nation and shall be under the protection of the State which may regulate its disposition.”

Butuan has been the discovery site of the first wooden watercraft excavated i n S out he a st As i a , t he Balangay Boat, believed to rule Southeast Asian waters as early as 320 AD. The utilization of these boats to maintain trade relations with neighboring islands and empires prove robust commercial activities in the

area. Numerous archeological artifacts have also been excavated – gold jewelry, death mask, weighing scales and porcelains – beefing up Butuan’s claim as then center of trade and commerce in the region.

Historical accounts show that on March 31, 1521, an Easter Sunday, Ferdinand Magellan ordered the celebration of a mass in Butuan. “In remembrance of this important Christian event that is claimed to be first in the country, the B o o d P rom ont or y w a s built,” Fortun added. Butuan is also the host to Banza Church Ruins, a church built by Spanish friars in 1625 and believed to be the first Christian church in Mindanao.

Wa y o l d e r a r e t h e Bequibel and Bitor shell middens in Barangay Bonbon supporting claims of human habitation and activities of the only thriving civilization in Butuan as early as the Neolithic Age or about 7,000 years ago.

Once the bill is passed, Butuan will be accorded with priority development by the Department of Tourism (D OT) in co ordination with the National Historical Ins t itute, t h e Nat i on a l Museum and other concerned government agencies. It will

also recognize potential areas for tourism development such as historical and cultural landmarks, rivers, mountain resources, indigenous communities, among others.

“Butuan City’s cultural heritage and historical past need to be preserved and made known to our people and peoples of the world.

It is a center of learning

and discovery. It is hoped that with the passage of this bill, the DOT and other appropriate agencies can implement institutionalized and sustained program for

the introduction of necessary facilities, infrastructure and information mechanisms for the preservation and promotion of Butuan’s rich heritage,” Fortun explained.

Draft... from page A1

Quintos-Deles, Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process told MindaNews Saturday noon at the hotel’s Café Uno that both panels have made “substantial progress and will make an announcement tomorrow” (Sunday).

But Saturday afternoon turned out to be a bad time as the panels got stuck on a provision related to political autonomy that, according to MindaNews sources, was neither in the draft of the ‘Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC), the body tasked to draft the BBL, nor in the Malacanang-reviewed draft. The provision was not also in the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro or the Annex on Power-sharing.

Saturday was the 9th of their 10-day “workshop” here but the 20th in a 21-day series of four “workshops” since July 8.

PNoy-Murad MindaNews learned from very reliable sources who requested not to be named for now that the issues the panels would not be able to resolve here will be brought to the level of the principals – President Benigno Simeon Aquino III and MILF chair Al Haj Murad Ebrahim.

The panels have been meeting at the Waterfront Insular Hotel here since August 1, after 11 days of similar “workshops” in Kuala Lumpur and Manila last month that failed to yield a “mutually acceptable” draft.

The BTC, the 15-member MILF-led GPH-MILF body tasked to draft the BBL submitted its 97-page, 18-article draft to Malacanang (Office of the President) on April 22. Malacanang reviewed the draft and handed over to the MILF a copy of the review with its comments and proposed revisions on June 21.

Apparently, a substantial part of the BTC draft was not acceptable to Malacanang and a substantial part of Malacanang’s proposed revisions was not also acceptable to the MILF. Among the most contentious issues that have yet to be resolved involves the delineation of powers under the categories exclusive, reserved and concur-

rent, as provided for under the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) and the Annex on Power-Sharing.

MindaNews learned from sources who have read the BTC draft and the Malacanang-reviewed draft that the Malacanangproposed revisions removed these categories as well as the term “asymmetrical relationship” between the central government and the Bangsamoro government.

Iqbal said without the categories and the provision on “asymmetrical relationship,” the future Bangsamoro political entity would be less autonomous than the present Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao that it seeks to replace.

Iqbal added that delineation ‘is the heart of the agreement.”

Ferrer told MindaNews on August 1 that saying the future Bangsamoro would be less autonomous than the ARMM is “really an emotional reading of the comments.”

“How can it be worse than the ARMM when all the key features that were stated in the CAB and that would make the major difference than the ARMM are all intact?” Ferrer told MindaNews.

“Turning point” MILF chair Al Haj Murad Ebrahim and MILF peace panel chair Mohagher Iqbal, also the BTC chair, aired their concerns over the proposed revisions in a meeting with President Aquino at the Sheraton Hotel in Hiroshima on June 24, minutes before the President delivered his keynote address at The Consolidation for Peace for Mindanao seminar.

Aquino and Murad have met at least five times – on August 4, 2011 when Aquno sought a meeting with Murad in Tokyo, Japan to “fast-track the peace process;” during the signing of the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) on October 15, 2012 and the Comprehensive

Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) on March 27, 2014, both held in Malcanang; the launching of the Sajahatra Bangsamoro at the Bangsamoro Development Agency’s office in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao on February 11, 2013; and at the Sheraton Hotel in Hiroshima on June 24, 2014.

Both leaders agreed in the August 2011 meeting to fasttrack the peace process so that an agreement would be reached in the first half of the Aquino administration (2010 to 2013) and implementation would be done in the second half (2013 to 2016).

In his keynote address in Hiroshima on Jun24, Aquino spoke of his historic meeting with Murad, describing it as “the turning point in our narrative to secure a just and lasting peace. Trust was established between brothers, and genuine dialogue was possible.”

“I sometimes wonder: If that meeting did not take place, where would we be today? Fortunately, that meeting, my first face-to-face encounter with my brother Chairman Murad, was a breakthrough,” Aquino said.

21 days The series of “workshops” – July 8 to 11 in Kuala Lumpur; 18 to 21 and 25 to 27 in Manila; and August 1 to 10 in Davao City – was triggered by the July 3 BTC resolution elevating to the GPH and MILF peace panels its concerns over Malacanang’s proposed revisions to its draft.

The draft Basic Law was expected to have been submitted and certified “urgent” by the President on or before he delivered his State of the Nation Address (SONA) at the reopening of Congress on July 28.

In last year’s SONA, he urged Congress to pass the Basic Law before yearend 2014 to allow the Bangsamoro Transition Authority enough time to run the ministerial form of government until the first set of officials of the Bangsamoro

Government elected in May 2016 would take over on June 30, 2016.

The President also met with the BTC in Malacanang on July 24 even as the BTC had elevated the issue to the peace panels by then. BTC chair Iqbal was a no show in Malacanang. He said he was in a meeting with the MILF Central Committee.

Where to?

At the end of the session on Day 6, MindaNews asked the chairs separately in a text message if they were already on the same page on where to bring the “workshop” results when it ends Sunday.

Ferrer replied “cross the bridge when we get there” while Iqbal said “pag-uusapan pa” (we’ll talk about it).

Ferrer told MindaNews on Day One that since it was the BTC that gave the panels the mandate when it passed a resolution elevating its concerns on the draft to the panels, whatever they would finish “should go back to the BTC” for the BTC to endorse the final draft to Malacanang.

Iqbal on Day One said the panels should return to Kuala Lumpur to formally adopt what has been agreed upon here.

Who’s inside?

Joining the panels in their meetings since Day 1 are the Pool of Independent Lawyers (PIL), representatives from the International Contact Group (ICG) and the Third Party Monitoring Team (TPMT).

Two lawyers from the Chief Presidential Legal Counsel arrived on August 4 but left midweek.

Other members of the BTC arrived afternoon of August 6 and joined the sessions starting Thursday, as observers.

Tengku Dato’ Ab Ghafar Tengku Mohamed, facilitator of the GPH-MILF peace process, arrived Friday afternoon. Tengku is not here to facilitate but he met with the two panel chairs last Friday.

Observer “I’m just an observer here,” Tengku told MindaNews inside Kalaw Room, the meeting venue, at 2 p.m. Saturday, shortly before the Mindanao Peaceweavers serenaded the peace panels with five songs: “Love Story,” “I will survive,” “The long and winding road,” “Mag-Peace Talk ay hindi biro” (to the tune of “Planting rice is never fun”) and “It’s now or never.”

On Thursday morning, the panels listened to a presentation of Executive Secretary Laisa Alamia of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) on the budgeting process and details of the breakdown of the budget of the regional government.

On Friday morning, the panels listened to Windel Diangcalan’s presentation on the Bangsamoro Development Plan.

Benedicto Bacani, representing the Pool of Independent Lawyers, gave a presentation on the recommendations of the collegial body on the issues that were referred to them by the panels.

On Saturday morning, the panels listened to the presentation of the Ateneo School of Government which did the study on the annual block grant.

“Hopefully we will be able to agree on the just , reasonable, implementable and defensible formula for the annual block grant and the amounts for the Special Develpment Fund and transition fund that we need to put in the draft BBL,” Ferrer said.

On Saturday afternoon, after the peace groups’ serenade, the panels resumed sessions with the ICG, BTC and PIL. Tengku and members of the Third Party Monitoring Team (TPMT) -- Dr. Steven Rood of The Asia Foundation, Karen Tanada of the Gazton Ortigas Peace Institute and Rahib Kudto of the United Youth for Peace and Development, Inc. – met in the garden area just outside the Vinta Bar.

STUDY recently conducted by the state think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) may influence the operation of some schools, if acted upon, affecting the status of their faculty and staff and their expenditures.

The PIDS, in its a study, said the Commission on Higher Education should enforce “more vigorously” its policy of closing existing programs of state colleges and universities (SUCs) that perform under par year after year in Professional Board Examinations (PBEs).

This is contained in one of the recommendations of

the PIDS study, dubbed as “Review and Assessment of Programs Offered by State Universities and Colleges” co-written by Dr. Rosario Manasan and Danileen Kristel Parel, senior research fellow and supervising research specialist, respectively, of PIDS. The study noted: “It is See schools, page 11

ADB-Canada assures Philippine hotels ready for global market

P

hilippine hotels and resorts in key island destinations are ready to compete in the global marketplace, according to the initial findings of a team of International Accommodation Assessors (IAAs) who joined the Department of Tourism (DOT) in conducting a national review of accommodation standards last month.

The team of IAAs composed of ten experts from

different countries said Philippine hotels and resorts including the small players have ‘very high standards’ in keeping the unique Filipino hospitality, one of the country’s competitive advantages.

“The warmth of welcome for guests in all types of accommodation is almost unique among international destinations. There is a real potential for the Philippine tourism industry. Some hotels and resorts need

to invest to improve, but the new rating system can help identify where to focus that investment,” the initial report noted.

New standards under the Hotel and Resorts Quality Assurance and Accreditation System aim to assist visitors in terms of the quality, service and comfort provided by accommodation businesses of all sizes and types in the Philippines.

The system which was launched last year reviewed 144 hotels and resorts in the country’s main island destinations such as Cebu, Bohol, Davao and Palawan.

The DOT tapped interna-

tional assessors to ensure that the review is based on accepted international standards. The review itself is part of a technical assistance funded by the Government of Canada and administered by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) aimed at improving competitiveness in the tourism sector, in time for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) integration. ASEAN member countries include the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Brunei.

Victoria V. Jasmin, Chairperson of the DOT Project Steering Committee, said the technical assistance is crucial in helping the department to implement Improving Competitiveness in Tourism, a roadmap designed to increase foreign tourist arrivals to ten million by 2016.

“Data will be carefully analyzed in order to further strengthen and develop the accommodation standards system and enable us to compete at the highest international levels in the future,” said Undersecretary Jasmin.

Undersecretary Jasmin added, “these new standards will help guide Philippine hotels and resorts on where they could invest to further improve their businesses. They are shown to be equally effective in identifying excellence, enabling

the finest properties and managers to show the way for others. The standards clearly identify examples of best practice for use by all types and levels of accommodation.”

Hotel owners and senior managers in all the properties visited welcomed the new set of standards as they see it as a significant improvement on the old standards introduced in 1992. “Owners and managers welcomed the introduction of the internationally understood one to five star grading approach. They understood that not everyone can be, or should be, five stars and that some of the most successful hotels and brands internationally hold two or three stars,” Undersecretary Jasmin said.

Final results of the assessment will be released in September 2014.

‘Lifestyle District’ rolls out more surprises for CDO’s urban crowd

W

ith its soft opening not so long ago, the driving force behind Cagayan de Oro’s newest lifestyle hub aptly called Lifestyle District continues to deliver its surprises by lining up a diverse mix of locators to cater to the growing urban crowd.

Pioneering tenants such as Microphone Hero, Tree House, Sweet Leaf Balbacue and Tree House are ensuring the steady flow of “provincial urbanites” with their unique service and events.

The mall hosts several establishments like restaurants, coffee and snack bars, videoke bar, gym and fitness centers, spas and beauty salons, medical clinics, hotel and an open area for acoustic music. It also has a

Lifestyle District has added a world-class and modern smoking lounge into its tenant mix. Customers can now enjoy their cigarettes inside a glassenclosed smoking lounge without having to inconvenience nonsmoking customers -- a first to be offered by a mall in CDO and even in the rest of Mindanao.

The smoking lounge is a collaboration of Fluppe and JT International (Philippines) Inc. (JTIP), distributor and maker of global cigarette brands Winston, Camel, LD and Mevius.

It is likewise part of the conscious effort of the mall to encourage responsible smoking among their patrons by providing them a decent smoking area while respecting the space of others.

Feeling powerless CAGAYAN de Oro City––A Mindanaon today is increasingly hemmed in between forces no one seems able to control or contain.

On one hand are rampaging marauders from the extremes of the politicalideological-ethnic divide.

On the other are manipulative politicos and their dynasties who rule like monarchs backed by tradition and patronage.

Except for the wellconnected, the moneyed, and the well-armed, hardly any Mindanaon can avoid feeling dominated, helpless, powerless.

With the next election just 16 month away, with political dynasties consolidating well in advance of it, with the parties regrouping, maybe also rearming, a challenger would hesitate to join the fray or lock horns with the ruling clique. ***** Yet Mindanaons are not really powerless. It’s just that, like most Filipinos, Mindanaons ignore the power they already have, power that has always been with them but never got to invoke or to assert effectively because it has been ceded by others to the trapos.

Even ordinary Mindanaons have political power; but it’s a measure of the colonial influence on them that they

still believe a citizen’s duty is to obey rather than to define his government and demand that it serves his interests.

As for the officeholders—who continue to act as if to be elected is to rule rather than to serve—they suffer from a pathetic case of colonial mentality.

The effect of these mutually reinforcing and wrongheaded attitudes has been a weakened popular will, which strengthens trapo dominance and turns public servants into overlords. ***** Thus, although our society professes to be a democracy, it is one without substance—a situation that doesn’t bother the conscience of trapos who, in the first place, are out to exploit its weakness by emasculating People Power.

Trapos cannot comprehend how democracy is an empty boast without People Power. People Power is democracy. (Demos: people; kratus: rule.)

But People Power exercised only sporadically, as in Edsa I and Edsa II, is just explosive power, like a fart, not a propulsive one, one that can effect reforms and sustain them; one that can renew values and institutions; and one that can drive the engines of development and progress.

At Edsa in 1986, and again in 2001, the explosive power we managed to detonate merely uncorked pent up resentments and threw out an unwanted leader. ***** But neither explosion renewed our values and institutions. The deposed one was soon replaced in kind, leading to still more frustrations and still another build up till it exploded in the Oakwood mutiny.

It was not the People Power we needed, and neither was the upstart Trillanes for the Senate.

The Oakwood incident was merely a tempest or a tantrum, but not a motive force for society’s forward movement.

People power becomes a motive force only if it impels social change, not just

regime change. The motion our society needs is towards genuine democracy, where citizens rule and elected officials serve with consent of the governed, accountable, transparent, dutiful.

The democracy we need is the one which enables citizens to set the societal agenda, where political parties represent and not dictate the agenda, and where citizen power is supreme. ***** Our society deserves a system in which, if officials deviate from their mission, the citizens throw them out and replace them.

And we need parties of principled citizens committed to a platform, not of co-conspirators or rebellious malcontents united by lust for power or the desire to feed on the government’s bounty.

Such a society must have the people as its driving force, not self-appointed leaders; having a system in which there’s no room for autocrats who reduce the people to the role of a cheering squad, a heckling opposition, or an indifferent mass.

To form said society, we must reach deep into values and aspirations and proceed with conviction that citizens must be the prime See POWERLESS, page B5

Daily Inspiration Persist “That which we persist in doing becomes eaiser, not that the task had become easier, but that our ability to perform it has improved.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson - poet / author (1803-1882)

Juvy Sarraga

Doing, repeating, practicing; doing, repeating, practicing . . . Never underestimate the value of practicing. Completing something fast seems to be envied by many children as well as adults in our fast-paced culture; School children rush to finish an assignment, then say “I’m done . . . What can I do now?” which brings limited initiative, no self direction, false pride and little expertise to the learner. Fear not to practice a skill and improve your ability beyond the norm. Great musicians like Johann Sebastian Bach were driven to practice, practice and practice. Michelangelo, Leonardo da vinci, and Albert Einstein among other great giants in history worked relentlessly on perfecting their ideas. Many a great name has spent their time practicing and repeating experimental tasks on the way to new discoveries. When mom reminds you, it’s time to practice or work. Why hesitate?

Moms often know best. God made them that way.

Three forms of incentives more powerful than money Incentives are a big part of management.

Effectively motivating your employees to do their best is one of your biggest responsibilities as an entrepreneur and small business owner.

Usually, when we think of incentives, we think of money: cash bonuses, pay raises and overtime pay.

But monetary incentives are usually overrated.

Money will only motivate people for a limited period of time and, in some cases, will never be enough.

There are actually three forms of incentives more powerful than money. These incentives are all based on giving your employees - and you - intrinsic motivation to do the best job possible.

They work in the short term because they make the employees feel appreciated

More power!

Bob Bare and they work in the long term because they give the employees confidence and valuable skills.

The three types of incentives are: autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

1. Autonomy is the principle of self-governance.

This is a term that comes up a lot when talking to parents of teenagers. Teenagers want to be in charge

of themselves and given opportunities to show you that they are capable.

Your employees are the same way (but much more responsible than the average adolescent). They want the opportunity to be in charge of their own work and show you that they are capable of managing things on their own. They don’t want to be micromanaged.

2. Mastery is motivated through skill building.

When we think of someone who is a master at something - like a master carpenter they are a skilled individual who is not just one step on an assembly line but a creator of new and exciting materials.

Give your employees the chance to be more than a cog in the business machinery. Give them training opportunities and materials

to do work they are proud to call their own.

3. Purpose is what drives your employees. Think about why you started a business. Wasn’t a part of it because it gave you a sense of direction and accomplishment in your life?

Your employees want the same things.

Find out what they value and what kind of future they envision for themselves. Help them see how their contributions to the business help them reach those goals.

These motivations aren’t usually tangible or easy to point to, but when used effectively they can completely change the culture of your workplace.

What do you use to motivate your employees?

What incentives have you received and appreciated?

Understanding ebola gives the cure

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law… and do not revere this glorious and awesome name---the Lord your God---the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses…” (Deuteronomy 28:58-59, the Holy Bible).

-oooEBOLA NOW A WORLDWIDE EPIDEMIC: The ebola epidemic is now an international health emergency, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and more restrictive measures are being put in place to contain and limit it to the African countries where it first broke out. The reason for this international concern is that, ebola is proving to be a deadly and, at the moment, incurable, disease.

In a news release from the WHO, ebola is described as causing “severe fever and, in the worst cases, unstoppable bleeding.

It is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids, and people who live with or care for patients are most at risk” and has already killed some 1,000 people.

The same news release said further: “The WHO move comes as US health

determinant of political behavior, of whether a political party deserves to exist, and who shall rise to high responsibility. *****

authorities admitted on Thurs d ay t hat Eb ol a’s spread beyond West Africa was `inevitable,’ and after medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) warned that the deadly virus was now `out of control’ with more than 60 outbreak hotspots.”

-oooEBOLA IS A DISEASE PREDICTED TO HAPPEN: From all indications, ebola is a disease predicted by the Bible. Let us read the Bible’s Book of Curses---Deuteronomy 28:15 to 68---to clearly see this prediction.

In Deuteronomy 28:15, we are warned: “However, if you no longer listen to the Lord your God, and you no longer obey His commands… then these curses will come upon you and overtake you.”

The Book of Curses of the Bible listed about 53 curses in all, but one of them pertains to a disease which obviously refers to ebola. Deuteronomy 28:2122 describes this disease,

and let me give you the direct quotation from the New International Version.

These verses say: “The Lord will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess.

The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation… which will plague you until you perish…”

-oooU N DE R STA N DI NG EBOLA GIVES THE CURE: The connection between Deuteronomy 28:15 and Deuteronomy 28:21-22 is clear. It is unmistakable. If a people no longer listens to God, and no longer obeys His commands, God Himself will send diseases which will kill, with these diseases causing fever and inflammation. WHO’s press release says ebola causes severe fever.

Understanding ebola from this point of view immediately underscores the point that, indeed as

US and other world health authorities are finding out, there is no known medical cure for this sickness, and no medicine is available as of yet coming from drug makers or other medical companies.

The only solution is doing the reverse of the cause of the disease. Since ebola is clearly caused by turning away from God, because we no longer listen to Him and no longer obey Him, the cure and preventive “medicine” against it is surprisingly simple: listening to God by reading His Bible, and then obeying what we read. Do this now, and we will be saved,

by God’s solemn promise!

Unless or until citizens learn to harness or deploy People Power effectively, all the initiatives of a few do-gooders won’t amount to much. And only people with vested interests—who allow themselves to be used as pawns by big-time trapos—will reap most of the

benefits in our republic.

Failure of People Power is failure of democracy.

Very embarassing for the Philippines

THE deadly war in Libya did not change the decision of the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) residing there to evacuate to the Philippines as ordered by our government. They declared there is better chance for them to survive in Libya because they have jobs while there is no certainty they could survive in their own country if they come home because of lack of job.

I fully agree to this sentiment of our compatriots there. This statement of Filipinos there is so hurting and embarrassing for the Philippine government. And to think that there are 13,000 Filipinos in Libya who are happily maintaining good jobs is just a bit of information. Our country should be embarrassed.

And how many overseas workers we have in other places in he Middle East, in Africa, in Europe, and elsewhere?

It is very difficult to estimate and even our government must have lost of its files on this regards. In my case, I was having a good job in our country because I was exercising my profession as a journalist but my two sons who were left behind there when I came to the USA have their own tales of hardships and embarrassments. And yet both were professionals, one a mechanical engineer and the other an accountant. Now they are enjoying life with good jobs in America.

Our government has failed miserably in providing its citizens of good future. If there are opportunities, these are apportioned among its own relatives, members of its political parties, friends and the like and none for the ordinary jobless people walking aimlessly with empty stomach. That has been the face of our government the reason why so many of our people are now scattered in practically all places of the universe even in areas where there are risks. Employment is very important because it can give you life, joy and contentment.

Well, lucky are those who were able to slip out of the country because now they are earning and enjoying life.

I pity those college graduates who are just sitting in the parks, roaming around window shopping, loitering hungry in restaurants and other places because they grow weaker each day and reach to a point where they look very much older than their age. Our government is too weak to invite investors from foreign lands which could possibly put up businesses in our country and generate employment. Or our leaders just did not think about it for as long as they are financially sound.

Or because our country has been so impoverished due to massive corruption.

I just hope a miracle will happen in the Philippines and our corrupt leaders will suddenly feel afraid of God for their sins and think of the welfare of our people. That the good ones will not run out of good ideas for the betterment of our country especially on the side of the economy, peace and order and service to the poor and sick. And the bad leaders should think about retiring thus giving the young Filipinos to achieve something new. Our country is lagging behind its Asian neighbors in terms of modern technologies and inovations. (benemata@yahoo.com)

Colleges... from B1

worrisome that there is a preponderance of universities and colleges with zero passing rate in many professional board exams (PBEs) from 2004 to 2011.”

“Furthermore, closer scrutiny of SUCs’ passing rate in PBEs indicate that a good number of them post passing rates that are well below the national average passing rate year after year,” the study indicated.

Degrees that have poor PBE performance are agriculture, accountancy, criminology, electrical engineering, electronics engineering, geodetic engineering, social work, elementary and secondary education, library science, forestry, and environmental planning, the PIDS said.

Data available show that the median passing rate for 38 PBEs for 2004-2011 ranged from 40 to 48 percent. Only 10 out of 38 PBEs had average passing rates above 60 percent and only 6 had passing rates above 70 percent, it said.

The study also noted that the SUCs offer “popular” courses even if these are beyond their core mandate.

“Given the broad mandates of SUCs, it is not surprising that there is substantial duplication in their program offerings relative to those of private higher education institutions (PHEIs) and other SUCs in the same region where they operate,” the same study said.

Program duplication may be considered a problem for a number of reasons. “One, the number of programs offered by SUCs has been found empirically to tend to increase per student cost of SUCs. Two, when SUCs offer programs that PHEIs traditionally offer, PHEIs are effectively crowded out because the tuition fees charged

by SUCs is significantly lower than that of PHEIs.” PHEI officials note the seeming unfair competition.

While the CHEd strictly enforces its policies, standards and guidelines, some SUCs are allowed to offer courses without the requisite facilities and qualified faculty.

While some SUC officials hold that the poor PBE performance are currently being addressed by conducting review classes and pre-board examinations, the study noted that these measures will improve the

passing rate but will not necessarily improve the quality of instruction. Faculty development and upgrading of facilities are argued to be more effective in improving overall performance.

The study also recommends the following: (1) CHeD should ensure that SUCs` program offerings comply with policies, standards, and guidelines of the commission; (2) CHEd should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of centralization over decentralization with respect to the monitoring of SUCs; (3) the CHEd

regional director should become a regular member of the SUC Board; and (4) the normative funding formula should be adjusted so that SUCs do not get an additional subsidy from the national government for the additional enrollment resulting from their offering popular programs.

SUCs may be allowed to offer popular programs provided they meet CHED standards and shoulder the full cost of offering those programs.

CHEd has yet to comment on the PIDS study. (With a report from PIDS)
