SETUP is a nationwide strategy encouraging and assisting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to adopt technology innovations to improve their operations and thus boost their productivity and competitiveness.

The program enables firms to address their technical problems through technology transfer and technology interventions to improve productivity.

When SETUP takes an SME in hand, it first assesses tech-

nology needs, then source it and follows up with negotiations for acquiring it.

Then comes technological intervention where the SME is assisted to acquire equipment to improve quality, reduce waste and increase productivity.

Paraguya said that the focus is then shifts to workers whose skills and work practices are upgraded.

Consulting is available throughout the process.

The products are also tested to determine if these conform to local and international standards, he said.

Paraguya said that any company, classified as an SME and wholly owned by Filipino citizens, can apply for the DOST’s SETUP intervention.

SETUP prioritizes the following business fields: food processing, furniture, handicrafts, marine resources, horticulture, metals, information technology, pharmaceuticals, packaging and renewable energy.

Green Pastures belong to pharmaceuticals, Paraguya said.

Founded in 2012, Green Pastures were merely pro-

Sta Filomena School Undertake Greening Program

By BERNILDO A. ORELLANA

OBJECTIVE The Sta. Filomena Central School is now on the process of achieving the target number of seedlings planted within the vicinity of the school, we find a great need to continue the reforestation program of the government and give educational awareness to the children on the importance of tree planting, to answer the problem of global warming.

Pursuant to Division memorandum Order No. 052, Se3ries of 2013 by the Schools Division Superintendent Raldolph B, Tortola, CESO VI “ The Search for Best Tree Planting Program Implementing School, Sta. Filomena Central School” have increased our capability, knowledge, skills and appreciation of our school children to conduct and participate in the series of tree planting activities of our school since last year of 2013 during the opening our classes. We have monitored and evaluated the tree planting activities conducted by our school together with the participation of our stakeholders and local Barangay officials who sometimes donated variety of fruit bearing trees and other species.

PROGRAM AND ACTTIVITIES

Last June 22, 2013 we have planted 10 Mahogany seedlings at the back of Grade IV Classroom this was participated by some homeroom PTA Officers of Grade VI Section 4 parents.

July 13, 2013 20 Fruit bearing trees were planted again at the back of Grade IV classroom building participated by selected Grade 6 pupils during our EPP subject for agriculture farming.

Last August 14, 2013 Barangay Counselor JOSEPHUS VILLROYA thru this his effort to solicit from HOLCIM Cement Corporation for the Seedlings, we successfully planted another 50 seedlings of Mahogany and fruit bearing trees in front of Grade IV Classroom building. This was participated by the teacher together with the school principal, parents, and local officials headed by former Kagawad Josephus Villaroya according to him the HOLCIM Cement Corporation is committed to give more seedlings for the school provided that we would take good care of them after planting.

Kagawad Villaroya however explained to us the importance of tree planting that he himself was committed to the program.

He even mentioned that as committee Chairman on Reforestation in the

Last December 14, 2013 during our Two-Days Boy and Grils Scout Encampment, 20 mahogany seedlings were planted near the perimeter fence of Iligan City East High School (ICEHS) by the selected Boy and Girl Scout, coming from Severo Sara Elementary School, Kiwalan Elementary School and Sta.

The role of teacher can be challenging

By MARY GRACE M. PAMOTONGAN,Teacher 1 Mabatao Elem. School, District of Salvador Division of Lanao Del Norte

The job of a teacher is equally rewarding and incredibly challenging, and it is a noble profession that helps to shape the children of today into the future of tomorrow.

If you are training to become a teacher, you should learn the challenges that await you in the classroom, and use skills such as your creativity, determination and flexibility to help guide you through these challenges and help you emerge a successful and effective educator.

However there are problems that await in the classroom. Students with behavior problems are a major obstacle that teachers have to overcome. Insubordinate students distract the other children and monopolize much of the teacher’s time for discipline and attempts to regain the focus of the student or the class as a whole.

Another problem is overpopulation in schools.

This has shown to have an adverse effect on student learning in a number of ways. How schools deal with this problem affects student learning since overpopulation can hinder student learning, reducing the quality of instructional planning and lowering morale among students and teachers.

Overcrowding affects classroom activities, as well

as instructional planning.

Teachers typically have less planning time and fewer resources in overpopulated schools. Teachers spend most of their time managing the overcrowded classroom, instead of providing quality instruction and trying innovative teaching strategies.

Teachers in overpopulated schools also experience higher rates of burnout, higher absenteeism rates and higher levels of stress.

Student concentration is adversely affected when classrooms are overcapacity and resources are limited. Overpopulated schools generally have to use nonclassroom facilities as classrooms, such as the lunchroom or media center. The problem is that these rooms

are not always equipped with whiteboards, desks or other classroom resources necessary for student learning. Distractions are also common in overcrowded schools with more students per class and classrooms in closer proximity.

Surveys of students and teachers in overcrowded schools revealed that students and teachers alike feel overwhelmed and even discouraged in these facilities.

Schools are not just buildings, but environments for learning. If the environment is not conducive to learning due to overcrowding, student achievement and teacher planning are negatively affected.

The government should address this problem now.

The IBON Foundation categorically states that DAP (Disbursement Acceleration Program) is another form of pork, and is not boon to our country’s economy.

Cielito F. Habito of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, on Tuesday last week says: “…research group IBON said that the DAP, like the PDAF should be done away with absolutely since it has not been proven to impact positively on the economy.

Recent events lead some to worry that the economic momentum of the past four years may be dissipating in the face of natural and manmade mishaps. The latest threat to the growth

“pump-prime” the economy with the DAP would effectively be curtailed, even as the Supreme Court actually acknowledged it to have stimulated economic growth.”

I B O N ’s research disclosed that no discretionary funds have been proven to help uplift the Philippine economy precisely because of their undemocratic nature, giving traditional politicians the leeway to utilize such in patronage politics and engage in corruption.

The maintenance of discretionary funds is in fact harmful to the economy as such funds are arbitrary and wasteful, just like the

Editorial

so-called INTELLIGENCE FUND which has been monopolized, (as in how it is to be spent), by Malacanang and down to the lowest LGU executive.

Even how social or developmental in nature, allocating discretionary funds for individual officials’ projects that are neither coordinated nor systematically integrated into government’s socioeconomic plan from the beginning is never good for the economy because it could be misspent.

Discretionary funds are wasteful and can go straight to the pocket of politicians and their middlemen as in the case See Economy, page 11

momentum is last week’s Supreme Court decision that declared certain “acts and practices under the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP)” unconstitutional. Prior to that, the pork barrel scandal had already slowed down government spending amid heightened cautiousness by government agencies. The first quarter slowdown was in fact partly attributable to this. The DAP decision will likely lead to even more caution, not just on the part of implementing agencies, but on the part of the Department of Budget and Management itself.

THE Philippine Daily Inquirer had for its banner story yesterday the reported unanimity on the part of the Supreme Court (SC) Justices in finding Sandiganbayan Associate Justice Gregory Ong of bribery but are equally divided on whether to impose punishment on the erring bench member of the anti-graft court.

It is in the SC Justices’ failure to sanction Ong that many like me could not find any logic whatsoever.

If Ong is guilty with an offense that has to do with integrity, a trait or value one must possess and should

A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II continue to possess to be worthy to be a member of the bench, then he has to be punished.

Findings by probe bodies such as the National Bureau of Investigation showed that Ong at one time served as the contact person of alleged

P10 billion pork barrel scam architect Janet Lim Napoles who had her previous graft case reportedly fixed in her favor. For helping Napoles get off the hook, whistleblowers Benhur Luy and Marina Sunas, executed an affidavit and testified before

the Senate investigation on the pork scam that Ong is the hireling of their boss in the Sandiganbayan.

In many instances, the two whistleblowers claimed their boss had been bragging to them that she will surely be able to get off the hook in the pork barrel scam because she has a contact person in the graft court she identified as Ong. And this was proved by Luy, a cousin and trusted staff of Napoles until their parting of ways, and Sunas, another Napoles staff, by saying that at one point they were ordered to issue several checks to the See LOGIC, page 11

Daily Inspiration Reason For Hope Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping--believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!” (NLT) -Romans 4:18 Imagine receiving a promise from God and waiting some 25 years to see if fulfilled. Yet, against all odds, Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90 when she gave birth to Isaac! Abraham’s faith remained strong amidst those obstacles, believing that God was good. Would your hope fade against the tests of time and practical knowledge? God loves you so much and will not take back His promises. Stay strong in your hope.

Business BOC-10 overshoots collection target

thursDAY, july 10, 2014 Advertising and Editorial E-mail : mindanaodailynewsgmail.com Mobile nos. : 0917-7121424 • 0947-8935776 Editor : CHENG ORDOÑEZ

AGAYAN de Oro City The Bureau of Customs (BOC) in region 10 has surpassed its collection target for the first quarter of 2014.

This was announced by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) in the region during its media forum on the regional economic situationer held last week, here.

Engr. Cecilio Y. Clarete,

chief economic development specialist of NEDA-10, said the customs bureau in the region collected P1.97 billion during the quarter, surpassing its target of P1.88 billion by five percent.

The customs collection for the quarter was also 21 percent higher than the P1.62 billion collection registered in the same quarter last year.

Clarete said the positive performance of B O C10 was due to its anti-

smuggling drive, continued streamlining of operations and upgrading of customs systems and transactions.

The Mindanao Container Terminal sub port (MCTSP) still emerged as the top revenue contributor with P1.75 billion or 88.83 percent share followed by the Cagayan de Oro base port with 8.27 percent share or P163.02 million.

Among the ports in the region, only Iligan City port

posted reduction in customs collections during the period from P56.24 million to P45.31 million.

The drop in the collections of Iligan City port was reportedly due to the reduction of import duty rate for milling food (wheat milling in PILMICO Foods) Corp.) and reduction of frequency of Petrona’s importation from thrice to only once a month. (APB/ PIA-10)

Gov’t rejects manufacturers’ request for price increase MANILA -- Malacanang said on Sunday that the government has rejected the request of some manufacturers to increase their respective suggested retail prices (SRP).

P r e s i d e n t i a l Communication Operations Office Secretary Her mino C oloma, Jr., said the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has declined the request of some manufacturers’ petition for price increase.

“Tinanggihan (ng DTI) ang hiling ng mga taga-gawa at nagbebenta ng karneng de lata o canned meat, bottled water, at sabong panligo na itaas ang kanikanilang SRP sa dahilan ng kawalan ng karampatang

katuwiran o basehan sa pagtataas. Nananatiling matatag ang mga presyo ng mga nasabing produkto sa merkado,” Coloma said in a press briefing over radio station dzRB Radyo ng Bayan on Sunday.

Only manufac tured goods has suggested retail prices.

The Communications Secretary also assured the public that there will be no price hike in the prices of flours. “ Nanga ko ang mga panadero na wala ring magiging pagtaas sa presyo ng tinapay tulad ng Pinoy Pandesal at Pinoy Tasty,” Coloma told reporters.

He said the government continues to monitor the

prices of other agriculture products, which according to DTI wi ll ret ain its current prices this week.

This covers the prices of eggs, sugar, poultry, pork, and even NFA rice.

On the other hand, prices of processed milk are expected go up as the prices of skimmed milk and whole powdered milk in the world market increased.

“Ngunit ang pagtaas na ito ay nilimitahan lamang sa pagitan ng 40 sentimos hanggang P4.30 sa kabila ng hiling ng mga gumagawa ng mga naturang produkto na itaas ang suggested retail price (SRP),” said Coloma.

Among the intergovernment agencies that monitor the prices are

the DTI, Department of Agriculture, Philippine National Police, National Bureau of Investigation, and the Presidential Assistant on Food Security and Agriculture Modernization.

“Nananawagan at hinihimok po natin ang ating mga mamamayan na isuplong at iulat sa DTI at sa ating mga law enforcement agencies ang sinumang magtangkang magpataw ng labis na presyo o nakikilahok sa mga gawaing pang-aabuso sa merkado (at) pang-iipit ng supply ng mga produkto upang kagyat na mahuli at masampahan ng kaukulang kaso,” Coloma said.

DTI chief signs IPP 2014; ready for submission to Malacanang

By Kris M. Crismundo of Philippine News Agency

MANILA - Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Gregory L. Domingo has signed the Investment Priorities Plan (IPP) 2014 which is now ready for submission to Malacañang.

Board of Investments (BOI) Governor Lucita P. Reyes told reporters that Domingo signed the IPP 2014 after he returned last week from an international trade mission.

Now t hat t he DT I chief has inked the IPP 2014, the next step will be submitting it to the Palace for the approval of President Benigno S. Aquino III before it will be fully implemented.

DTI Undersecretary and BOI Managing Head Adrian S. Cristobal Jr. said in a recent interview that BOI targets to submit the IPP 2014 to Malacañang in June.

However, the department still had minor re-

visions for the IPP 2014 after it was wholly approved by the BOI Board.

The IPP 2014 is unique from the past IPPs as the new one will be valid for three years in time for the conclusion of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) in 2016.

From April to May this year, the department had various inter-agency, sectoral, and public hearings in which it presented the preferred list of economic activities that will be entitled to government’s incentives.

From several discussions the department conducted, it approved seven economic activities that are included in the IPP 2014. These are: manufacturing, agribusiness and fisheries, services, economic and low-cost housing, energy, public infrastructure and logistics, and public-private partnership projects.

MinT VET president Irene Floro said the exposition is aimed to raise public awareness on the importance of TVET. “The TVET expo is really to start spawning the culture of TVET, especially among the student-trainees here in the region,” Floro said.

In general, the two-day event is aimed to promote and advocate through a deeper exposure to TVET to the public, through the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the different training providers, specifically its benefits and impact on youth employment so as to prepare the youth for jobs in the future.

Floro said there are 562 schools across Mindanao involved in the promotion of TVET. TESDA Regional Director Lorenzo Macapili said that 42 of the 562 schools are based in this city.

trees, with 76 as centuryold trees and 54 as heritage trees, under the protection of Ordinance 341. These include the 9 century-old and 3 heritage trees which were tagged last June during the 2014 Arbor Day na Ciudad de Zamboanga.

These trees, according to the OCENR, are now considered as ecologically, historically, and culturally valuable to the City of Zamboanga.

The identification and protection of century-old and heritage trees is a continuing effort of the City Government, in coordination with concerned barangays, institutions, and individuals. Through the OCENR, a special technical committee is tasked to evaluate potential century-old and heritage trees endorsed by a technical working group based on a set of qualifying criteria.

Meanwhile, through its environment and natural resources management program, the OCENR has also successfully reforested and maintained a total of 17.29 hectares of upland areas, including the Cesar Climaco Freedom Park.

These reforestation efforts are further supplemented by the massive, community-driven, tree planting efforts held annually in celebration of the Arbor Day na Ciudad de Zamboanga.

For this year, the Arbor Day convened 7,000 individuals to plant an estimated 6,000 mahogany and narra seedlings in identified planting sites.

For coastal reforestation program, the OCENR oversees the management and maintenance of 32 hectares of old plantations established in 1994 and 2002, out of the total 64.5 hectares of co-managed areas in Mampang and Talon-Talon. ( Jasmine Mohammadsali)

6 cops, soldier wounded in NPA clash in Davao City

D

AVAO CITY – Six policemen and a soldier were wounded in a firefight with communist rebels in two villages in Davao City, officials said Wednesday.

Capt. Alberto Caber, a spokesman for the Eastern Mindanao Command, said the fighting erupted in the villages of Baracatan and Catigan in Toril District on Tuesday afternoon.

Caber said soldiers from the 84th Infantry Battalion and members of the Special Action Force clashed with about 30 New People’s Army rebels. The fighting, he said, lasted around 30 minutes. He said the wounded policemen and soldier were evacuated to hospital. “The troops were on a security patrol in the area for the protection of the civilians and community,” he told the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner.

He said regional military chief Lt. Gen. Ricardo Rainier Cruz III has ordered

army commanders to stay vigilant and continue the operations against the NPA and any other threat groups.

“Joint pursuit operations are still ongoing,” he said.

The regional police command identified the wounded officers as Inspectors Ruel Manga, 35, Verindo Villamor, 24, PO3 Arthur Saavedra, 39, PO3 James Bnagayan, 29, PO1 Vincent Catalvas, 26 and PO1 John Ambog, 30.

Police spokesman Chief Inspector Jed Clamor said four of the policemen were undergoing treatment at Southern Philippines Medical Center while two others were observed in stable condition at Davao Adventist Hospital.

But Isabel Fermiza, a rebel spokesperson, said

the NPA forces ambushed the government patrol and killing 6 troops and wounded six others in the area. Fermiza said rebel forces also seized an automatic rifle, one M203 grenade launcher, four military packs and vests, two ammunition links for K3 machine gun and a GPS. “New People’s Army members under the Mt. Apo Sub-regional Command lured company-sized soldiers of the 84th Infantry Battalion of the 10th Infantry Division to the guerrilla hideout and Red fighters merely sidestepped and mounted an ambush position. The NPA’s successful tactical offensive in Toril, Davao City disproved hallucinations of AFP’s 10th Infantry Division Commanding-General Maj.

Gen. Ariel Bernardo, who boasted last week that the NPA forces are thinning out, losing ground, and limited to merely seven towns in Davao del Norte and Compostela Valley provinces.”

“The successful ambush also refuted AFP claims late last year that their Peace and Development Outreach Program made headways in Toril and the contiguous Sta. Cruz town, enough to make these areas “NPAfree,” Fermiza said, adding, Bernardo’s claims of accomplishment were merely “to justify the huge and heavily purloined AFP budget and the funds funnelled from mining and capitalists that finance the ongoing massive military operations in Southern Mindanao.”

Fermiza also accused the military as behind extra-judicial killings of civilians, torture and intimidation.“The AFP has miserably failed not only to debilitate the fighting capacity of the NPA but also failed to ease the discontent of the masses.

The AFP’s dismal record contains increasing head count not of NPA members but of civilian victims of extra-judicial killings, torture and intimidation.”

“On the other hand, the NPA’s successful tactical offensive in Toril, Davao City was not only due to its mastery in guerrilla warfare, but also due to the wide and warm support of the masses who are not fooled by the AFP’s Peace and Development Outreach Program,” Fermiza said.

JOB HIRING!

Caber denied all Fermiza’s allegations and branded them as black propaganda. “These are all black propaganda and the rebels are the number one human rights violator. They attacked and killed innocent civilians in the pursuit of a senseless war,” he said.

The NPA is fighting for decades now for the establishment of a communist state in the country.

and represented by its president, Mr. Richard Nixon A. Baban, renew their partnership to continue providing personal accident insurance to their respective clients nationwide.

The signing of the Memorandum of Agreement between the parties took place at the Malayan Insurance Cagayan de Oro branch office on June 30, 2014.

The first memorandum of agreement (MOA) was originally signed between Malayan Insurance president Yvonne Yuchengco and Custrich’s president Mr. Baban at the Malayan Insurance head office at the Yuchengco Tower in Binondo, Manila last November 16, 2009.

This unique insurance package which is exclusively designed for Custrich also offers expanded protection for the client’s immediate family.

The principal insured is insured for accidental death/dismemberment and disablement in the amount of P100,000, and is entitled to an accidental medical reimbursement of P10,000 per year and an accidental hospital income of P1,000 for every day of confinement up to five days.

The spouse is covered for 50% of the insurance while each of the dependent is covered for 25% of the principal amount.

Established in 2005, Custrich is a proudly Cagayanon company. It is set to make its presence felt in all major cities in the country by introducing its flagship product, Custrich 4 in 1 Mangosteen Decaf.

This product is healthy for diabetes because of its all natural stevia sweetener and ideal for people with poor tolerance to caffeine. To know more about Custrich, you may visit them at its website at www.custrich.com.

discretion as revealed by IBON. Napoles’ P10 billion PDAF scam pales in comparison with this. Reports bared some of Malampaya Funds have been misspent on non-energy-related infrastructure and agriculture projects, contrary to the fund’s original purpose.

That DAP is an accelerator of growth, purportedly being a source of funds for high-impact projects such as massive public works and infrastructure projects is only a fallacy. IBON noted that previous quarters showing gross domestic product growth rate to be above 7%, increased government spending on construction and infrastructure did not translate to overall increased jobs or a downturn in poverty incidence.

Unemployment is still massive in almost all sectors.

The unending increase of prices of basic commodities and fuel, oil and electricity could not be checked. Had it been correctly managed and spent on priority projects, DAP and PDAF could have generated jobs and could have contributed much in easing out these miseries of our people.

The clamor of all is to abolish these discretionary funds. Let it go directly to the general fund of the government. Let the appropriate agencies managed those funds rather than be appropriated by single leaders like the President, Senators and Congress representatives.

Even Intelligence Funds should not be under the sole discretion of governors, city mayors or mayors. Why? What’s the point of having them solely decide on what to do with funds? Why not the Budget Office?

Do we want brighter days for our national economy?

Then let’s put a stop to these problem-prone and undemocratic discretionary funds.

graft court justice totaling more than P3 million.

The affidavits of Luy and Sunas, the Senate and NBI investigations on the matter served as the basic documents that the SC asked retired Associate Justice Angelina Sandoval-Gutierrez to look into to determine if Ong committed an infraction and to recommend sanctions if found guilty.

On May 15 Gutierrez submitted her report finding Ong guilty as charged and recommended he should be sanctioned either by removal or suspension.

But per Inquirer report, the SC Justices were convinced Ong is guilty of bribery but could not meet the required seven votes to impose sanctions on him at the time of their last en banc session. The matter of imposing sanctions on Ong will again be deliberated upon by the Justices during their next en banc session.

This is the point where I personally could not find any logic. If the Justices are

Not only would there be unimplemented projects, but ghost projects.

Malacanang has to explain the dubious spending of Php21.5 billion, part of Php173 billion Malampaya funds under the President’s

from page 6

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

indeed convinced Ong is guilty of having committed bribery, a very serious offense since it involves a graft court justice no less, then there is no reason why the SC Justices should be reluctant in punishing him.

Do the SC Justices want to convey the message through their reluctance to sanction Ong that they don’t want to cast the first stone since they are as guilty as the anti-graft court justice of the same offense? If they don’t want their reluctance to be read this way, then they should not be timid in sanctioning Ong. An infraction as serious as bribery committed by an anti-graft court justice if left unpunished will send the worst message to all those in the public sector that they can now commit graft and corruption with impunity. Truth is, after the guilty finding that the Justices themselves believed in also, Ong does not deserve to stay a minute longer in his office literally.

But why the SC Justices seem to be in a quandary whether to punish Ong or not is a real puzzle that is raising a lot of quizzical eyebrows especially at this point where suspected abusers of the public trust such as Senators Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr., Jinggoy Estrada and Juan Ponce Enrile are now in jail because of their alleged abuse of the public trust reposed on them by the electorate.

Anti-pork and anti-corruption crusaders should make a howl against this to pressure the SC Justices not to make Lady Justice not just blindfolded but figuratively blind by not sanctioning Ong. No compelling need I personally don’t find any compelling need for President Aquino to reiterate his administration’s defense of the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP). He had already articulated such defense in various forums and even in the SC. Sadly for him, his defense was not bought by the SC thus the declaration that the DAP, or certain portions of it, is unconstitutional.

Redemption from the mess DAP created is what he needs. And redemption can only come if his administration prosecutes all who are involved in graft-tainted transactions in government such as the pork and DAP scams. But admittedly this is a tall order and an unenviable one.

knowledge to help implement effectively the Gulayan sa Paaralan Program (GPP) in their respective schools.

“There is a need to update the teachers’ knowledge in vegetable gardening for them to impart this to their students,” DA-Caraga GPP Coordinator Lynn Pariñas said. Aside from teaching the school mentors techniques in growing

vegetables, the trainors also emphasized the nutritional benefits of vegetable intake.

In addition, the DA is promoting soybean, a highly nutritious food crop, which it has incorporated in the GPP. For this purpose, a demonstration on the processing of various soybean food products was included in the training. The participants were each given a kilo of soybean seeds that they can plant in their schools.

“I look forward to preparing the recipes I learned from the training because I now have something new to offer for our school’s feeding program,” said Mrs. Elma Palican of San Benito, Surigao del Norte.

GPP is a school vegetable gardening project implemented by the Department of Agriculture together with the Department of Education to address hunger and malnutrition in children. The vegetables produced in school will be used to supplement its feeding program. Training is part of the DA’s support along with the provision of vegetable seeds and garden tools to strengthen the project, which is now on its fourth year of implementation under the High Value Crops Development Program.

from page 1 cente Emano said that the provincial government has already signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Kennemen Foods International (KFI), a Dutch company, considered as the world’s largest supplier of “cacao” seeds in the United States, Europe, and Canada.

The MOU establishes a production and trading agreement with the KFI aimed at integrating and scaling up the cacao production in Misamis Oriental’s 23 municipal towns and two component cities of El Salvador in the west district and Gingoog City in the east district, Emano said.

He said that the Provinical Agriculture Office is now in the process of identifying an initial 5,000 hectares of land which could be suitable areas for cacao (Theobroma cacao) in the province.

Cacao seeds are the source of cocoa and chocolate, which is could be planted to inter crop with other agricultural plants like coconut trees, Emano said.

He said that a hectare of cacao plants could generate as much as P 200,000 annually as against the P 40,000 estimated annual income of coconuts.

“A farmer could easily earn as much as P 500,000 annually in a 2-hectare farm with fully grown and productive cacao trees,” Emano added.

He said that the provincial government is excited with this development since KFI, a major supplier of US-based Mars chocolate, also specializes in growing and trading high-quality agricultural crops including fermented cacao beans.

“Chocolate is a multibillion dollar industry. WITH A VAST TRACK OF AGRICULTURAL LAND, Misamis

Oriental IS eyeing a share of the multi-billion cacao industry in the global market,” Provincial Board Member Benedict Lagbas, chair of the province committee on agriculture said.

Last week, Emano has directed the provincial board’s committee on agriculture to form the Technical Working Group (TWG) that would study the future marketing plan designed to benefit the farmers in the province, particularly the beneficiaries of the government’s Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) that expired on June 30, 2014.

Emano said that the provincial government is eyeing the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) as the possible institution that would finance the ambitious program.

The province intends to start the initial planting in September this year, Emano said. (PNA)

Biblical reflection

Bro. Edcel L. Closas

Mortal Special Gospel of the day: Luke 9:7-9(July10, 2014-Thursday) Luke 9:7-9-Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead; And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him: This gospel emphasizes the acceptance of Herod to his criminal act against John the Baptist. In Matthew 14:10-And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

Therefore, Herod was a mortal sinner for killing the innocent John the Baptist but unfortunately, there was no justice prevailed since Herod was in the highest position on earth. This is the same to our present society that criminals who are rich and powerful are not sentence to death. They are not convicted because they can bribe the Judge in a certain crime committed. In Proverbs 17:23-A wicked [man] takes’ a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. But look, Herod was disturbed upon hearing the name of Jesus since of the wrong belief that John was resurrected for revenge. This is normal for a guilty person because his conscience is disturbing him deep inside: Printing paid by: Neneth - Bobong BalinoDr. Edith, PhD- Tony Jordan - CDO.
