Attendance on Moresco 1 annual assembly still highest among ECs LAGUINDINGAN, Misamis Oriental––Trending shows that member-consumers’ attendance in the just-held Annual General Membership Assembly (Agma) of the Misamis Oriental 1 Rural Electric Service Cooperative (Moresco) is increasing every year. For this year, at least 22,706 memberconsumers attended the

annual gathering.

Mandate of the cooperative as distribution utility The direction of the cooperative to become an instrument to strengthen the development currently taking place in the Western Misamis Oriental, and the whole of Northern Mindanao, paved way to the theme being adapted, as

it celebrated its 46th year and 44th Annual General Membership Assembly on May 23, 2014.

The theme, “Moresco 1 relevantly growing with the demands of development,” is in alignment with the economic growth, to cite, the operation of the Laguindingan airport which started June last year, and

the growing establishments of multi-businesses within the coverage area of Moresco 1.

As a distribution utility, it is Moresco 1’s mandate to provide reliable and secured energy to the communities under its coverage area.

Isuzu Drive Series Challenge

Oro-Leg exposes tough, safe, efficient 4x4 D-Max pickups

By CHENG ORDONEZ, Associate Editor

CAGAYAN de Oro City welcomed the ISUZU DMAX 4x4 Drive Series leg, here, exposing its toughness and encompassing off-road aggressiveness yet with levels of safety and efficiency through the simulated extreme off-road terrains, at the Pueblo Business Park from June 6-8, 2014.

“The pupose of this activity is to highlight the off-road capacity of the Isuzu D-Max and other features that will help you drive anywhere in the Philippines,” according to Mr. Joseph Bautista, head of the Field Division, Isuzu Philippines Corp.

“At the same time, we take this as an opportunity to teach the proper way of driving 4x4,” Bautista said.

Isuzu’s durability and fuel efficiency strives ahead

- whether it’s hauling loads or merely cruising or going to extreme off-roads - Isuzu D-Max pickup is one vehicle you can depend on, said Bautista.

Hence, putting it to the test, a drive series with simulation extreme off-road tracks have been designed to challenge D-Max 4x4 pickups in five destinations in the country.

“We started in Pampanga, then we moved to Cebu, then Bacolod weeks ago; this time in Cagayan de Oro and the last leg will be in Davao from June 20 to 22,” Bautista said.

This year’s CDO-leg of the Isuzu D-Max 4x4 Drive Series has given Kagayanons three days to try the challenge to a specially configured off-road track, where they experienced the remarkable all-terrain driving performance of Isuzu’s highly popular

pickup model.

Designed to bolster the growth of the fourwheel-drive pickup sector in the country, as well as to serve the rapidly increasing popularity of outdoor recreational activities among Filipinos, the off-road activity drew the attention of Kagay-anons, most especially pickup and off-road enthusiasts.

The staging of the maiden-run of the drive challenge, which followed the opening program, Friday, kicked-off with no less than City Mayor Oscar Moreno and Isuzu Philippines President, Mr. Nobuo Izumina, and other top Isuzu officials, as riders themselves.

“The track challenge is also a way of experiencing how to tackle various off-road driving exercises and teach drivers to easily learn many techniques re-

quired in maximizing the advantages afforded by four-wheel drive vehicles,” Bautista explained.

This knowledge is particularly relevant to those living or staying in the rural areas, particularly in locations characterized by rugged roads, rolling hills and narrow stretches, as well as those in the urban flatlands with unpaved terrains, said Bautista.

“Whenever we have events in Mindanao, we always include Cagayan de Oro City, because wherever corners I turn to, there is always one Isuzu cruising through,” Mr. Izumina said in his speech at the opening of the CDO-leg drive series.

Izumina said the performance of CDO to the over-all sales of the Isuzu D-Max since its first launch here is remarkable.

He believes that the local landscape is a contribut-

ing factor, because ISUZU D-Max easily fits into the needs here.

The CDO-leg of the Isuzu D-Max 4x4 Drive Series obstacles included hill climb, hill climb with a stall midway up; lateral climb mount; tackling trail ruts; camber right and camber left sides up; 49-degree traversing; lateral descent ditch crossing; driving over cross axle articulation rails,

among others.

Off-road expert drivers were on hand to teach participants the techniques needed to take on the trail.

Isuzu has a total of 21 branches all over the Philippines, Bautista said, and CDO is one of its strongest pickup sales with an increase sale of 79 percent for the first four months of this year, as compared to last year’s.

CAGAYAN de Oro City––A throng of thousands of people in this seaport capital of Northern Mindanao joined the tree planting activities on Thursday as the country celebrates the month of June as “World Environment Month/ Day,” an environment official said on Friday.

Ruth Tawan-Tawan, regional director of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) here, said that the participants came from various government agencies and private stakeholders in Cagayan De Oro City and Misamis Oriental.

She said that workers of public and private institutions, civil society groups, the youth, the academia and the local media joined hands

in the planting of about 5,000 mangrove seedlings in the coastal village of Taytay in El Salvador City on the Western coast of Misamis Oriental.

Another group led by the National Irrigation Administration in the region also held a tree planting activity on Friday at the Malasag Tree Park in Upper Cugman, Tawan-Tawan said.

She said that the Fraternal Order of Eagles (Philippine Eagles) in Northern Mindanao Region (NMR) is also spearheading a massive tree planting activities in the coastal village of Bonbon in Opol in Misamis Oriental on June 12, 2014 as part of the World Environment Month/ Day that also coincides with

from page 2 the National Eagle’s Week celebration.

Tawan-Tawan said that the World Environment Day is the most important day of the year because it is a worldwide awareness of the shared responsibility of taking care of mother earth and all of us being agents of positive change.

Global warming is causing ocean levels to rise at an increasing rate. When global temperature rises, water expands and occupies more space.

Ice melts which also contributes to rise of sea level. A study released by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) revealed that the global sea levels had risen from 10 to 25cm over the last 100 years. As the temperature heats up, extreme weather events, such as heat waves, floods, droughts, tropical cyclones, and hurricanes become more frequent and severe, Tawan-Tawan said.

She said that DENR region 10, in cooperation with the People’s Organization, Indigenous People, Academe, local government units (LGU), other government agencies and stakeholders reforested 46,395 hectares from 2011 to 2013.

The DENR is also focusing on the country’s coastal areas as the depletion of the 500,000 hectares mangrove forest due to coastal development, land conversion, and reclamation, Tawan-Tawan said.

She said that, more or less, only about 100,000 hectares mangrove forests are visible today and the mangrove in the coastal village of Taytay in El Salvador is among these mangrove forests that has remained visible today.

There is an urgent need to protect the mangroves since these coastal forests protect the people and communities who are living along the coastlines as buffer shields during typhoons and storm surges.

The mangrove forest also serves as the nursery ground for fish, prawns, and crabs aside from supporting the production of fish in coastal waters, Tawan-Tawan said.

She said that the celebration of the World Environment Month/Day is a call for solidarity in mitigating climate change where the positive action of every person would contribute in the world’s struggle against climate change and the sustainable preservation of the world environment.CD with ERCEL MAANDIG

Simple ways to encourage student attention in the classroom

By Rochelle B. Guipulao Saray Elementary School

Teaching students especially in grade school is a challenging task. It takes a lot of strategies and techniques for them to absorb the lessons in effective way. The following are some tidbits of simple ways in order for a teacher to gain attention from the pupils.

First is the use of colorful materials.

These materials include flash cards and visual aids blended in light colors such as red, yellow, orange and green, among others. These colors are the common ones that basically attract the eyes of the pupils and their attention to learn simple and basic topics. It could also be effective if the teacher will use it even on the first days of classes. In this way, pupils will look forward to the more classes with that teacher.

Giving rewards to pupils are also found effective. Each outstanding student is normally being rewarded by school after a school year and during recognition day.

However, a teacher can do this in her class.

It could be on daily like during recitations.

It could also be monthly, like posting “Outstanding Pupil of the Month” or the like.

This stategy could not only gain attention but as well confidence among pupils.

Classroom decorations are also enticing.

Classroom is the residence of each pupil during class hours. He even stay there longer than his own home, for he use eight hours of his time in classrooms. Thus, it is proper that a teacher will organize the classroom the way that it could be a home to pupils, a room that he is excited to go home to. Teacher could put colorful bulletin boards and pin boards and also make use of colorful curtains, for an instance.

Learning is comprehensive. Teaching also is. Therefore, teaching strategies should not just cornered in books but also in the learning surroundings where pupils are exposed to.

First day of classes open smoothly in Misamis Occidental OROQUIETA CITY, Misamis Occidental – So far, the first day of classes in Misamis Occidental on June 2, 2014, was smooth and productive.

Classes were conducted in all schools and attendance was impressive.

This was the assessment of Dr. Jonathan S. Dela Pe?a, Schools Division Superintendent of the Department of Education (DepEd), of

the province, who said “We ensured that Lesson 1 was delivered on the first day of School Year (SY) 2014-2015.”

Dela Peña said SY 20142015 has a total of 201 days which ends on March 27, 2015 or 53 schools days, each, for the first and second quarters, 55 school days in the third quarter and 40 school days in the fourth and last quarter.

Meanwhile, the following regular holidays will be observed by DepEd within the year: Philippine Independence Day, June 12, National Heroes Day, Aug. 25, Bonifacio Day, Nov. 30, and Rizal Day, Dec, 30.

Eidul Fitr and Eid’l Adha, tentatively set on July 22 and Oct. 5, respectively, are also regular holidays, but Ninoy Aquino Day, Aug. 21 and All Saints Day, Nov.

QUEZON, Bukidnon — For people who like to smell wood blossoms in the cool fresh mountain air while plunging in a gently flowing cool blue waters, or go caving (spelunking) this summer, Blue Water Cave is one perfect place to go.

Quezon town mayor Gregorio Gue said the local government and Kiokong Climbing Society—a nonprofit group—developed the Kiokong Eco-Tourism project to oversee town visitors’ activities while trekking and spelunking especially during weekends.

“Visitors should clean their own mess and keep back the trash with them to preserve the cleanliness of the place,” he said.

The hidden paradise of Southern Bukidnon A natural tourist attraction hidden in the country view of San Jose village in Quezon, Bukidnon, Blue Water Cave River flows underground in connecting caverns, which is blue in color all year round.

The trail to the blue waters includes a scenic view of white rock cliff walls, where hikers and rock wall climbers pulled themselves up a steep rock face surrounded with amazing rock formations, rolling hills and mountains.

Take hikes, take photos, breath the fresh air deeply, and notice the amazing animals from flying lemurs to species of birds soaring

up high.

How to get there The entrance is along the national highway with a huge billboard describing at a glance what this municipality offers. Quezon Municipality is said to be Mindanao’s sugar capital located in southern Bukidnon. It is four to five hours away from Cagayan de Oro and three to four hours from Davao City.

Visitors can get in touch with Kiokong Eco Tourism days before the actual visit for food and transportation tips.

Exploring the Blue Water Cave A narrow trail leading the Blue Water Cave is clearly visible and no guide is required to reach it.

It is an easy way towards the paradise, until a steep way downwards approaches to finally reach the riverbank of Pulangi River and see the wonderful cave.

The cool, semi-deep, pure blue water meets the Pulangi waters, and leaves a bluish area before mixing with waters of the giant Pulangi River.

The cave’s opening is small. At the bottom, cool and clear water accumulated. It is freezing cold and very refreshing.

White Rock Wall Climbing Following the trail back is also the route for the White Rock Wall Climbing.

There are fixed pitons

(mountaineering device) going up the White Rock Wall. These are like pegs hammered into rocks with hooks where the mountaineer attaches karabiners.

Karabiners are metal loops used as connectors to safely hold a freely running rope.

The Kiokong Climbing Society facilitators always check the safety gears. They demonstrate how to pull ropes up and how to rappel down.

They said a “beginner” usually goes for up to 30 feet but for advanced climbers, facilitators can offer the 30-meter climb.

A legendary place of privacy and peace This hidden paradise of Southern Bukidnon is truly an amazing tourist destination one could unexpectedly thought of Bukidnon to have this place as one of its treasures.

The adrenaline rush adventure of its trail, the amazing rock formations, cool, pure, and clear water gushing from a cave makes this beautiful Blue Water Cave perfect for a summer get away.

Its unspoiled beauty, serene surroundings, and wildlife treasures have enticed countless visitors each year.

Truly untouched, the way God originally created it. One of His bountiful creations—a hidden paradise!

Bukidnon’s Blue Water Cave —A hidden paradise

MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur - More than P2 billion worth of development projects is being implemented by the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) to help foster peace and reduce poverty in some of the conflict-affected communities in the region through the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (Pamana) program.

Dong Anayatin, PAMANA-ARMM prog r a m m a n a g e r, s a i d PAMANA is intended to contribute to lasting peace in the region through poverty reduction and the improvement of local governance.

He said PAMANA also promotes social cohesion to capacitate residents in conflict-stricken areas.

The program includes livelihood projects being provided by the region’s Department of S ocial Welfare and Development (DSWD) in at least 386 barangays and construction of roads and inf rast r uc tures b eing undertaken by ARMM’s Department of Public Works and Hig hways (DPWH).

The ARMM govern-

me nt , Anay at i n s ai d, is hoping to increas e livelihood and job opportunities in the region and intensify community participation in the pursuit of peace and development.

The program was initially handled directly by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) when it was first introduced in the ARMM in 2011.

Last year, the ARMM government officially took over the management of PAMANA projects that are being implemented in the region.

“We regularly conduct focus group discussions with local leaders and the program’s steering committee to assess the needs of recipient communities,” said Anayatin.

PAMANA projects are being implemented in mostly Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) communities.

“We want to address development gaps and bring progress to conflict-affected areas,” he said. (Bureau of Public Infornation/APB/PIA-10)

People’s movement vs. pork marches on THE people’s outrage and the continuing protests against pork barrel pushed the Aquino government to file charges against several senators and accomplices involved in the pork scam.

These past months have exposed Aquino’s role in defending the pork barrel system and covering up cases of corruption.

It was revealed that Aquino already had prior knowledge about lists of those involved in the scam, which included Aquino allies like Butch Abad, Proceso Alcala and

key Liberal Party leaders.

Aquino has not abolished congressional pork and has defended his own Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP). Aquino has retained a trillion peso pork fund and has covered up kickbacks amasses thru anomalous Public Private Partnership deals like the MRT train bribe try.

Aquino, by filing cases solely against political opponents, seeks to divert the public outrage against his government and cover-up

Statement

his role as pork barrel king.

But the masses will no longer be fooled by Aquino’s empty “anti-corruption” posturing targeting political opponents while exempting party mates and cabinet members. Aquino is insincere in making accountable corrupt government officials, prime example is the case against former president Arroyo, which Aquino has bungled while giving the plunderer special treatment.

The Filipino people are calling for accountability of all involves in the pork

barrel scam, including pork barrel king Aquino and his allies. Ultimately, it is the growing people’s movement against pork, which will ensure that justice and accountability is exacted and genuine change is attained in our country.

As the Aquino rule continues to be exposed as corrupt and rotten, the people’s desire to oust Aquino and change the rotten, corrupt system is gains strength.

Failure of Philippine education LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…

Train the child in the way he should go, and he will never depart from it even if he grows old…” (Proverbs 22:6, the Holy Bible).

-oooRP MANPOWER EXPORTING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD: Here is an article I wrote on August 31, 2008, about colleges and universities in the Philippines: “If we come to think of it more seriously, we will not fail to realize the fact that the Philippines actually is a pioneer in establishing good universities and colleges and other outstanding institutions of higher learning in Asia.

“The oldest school in the Asian continent, the University of Sto. Tomas in Espana, Manila, preceded all other tertiary schools in the region. But this pioneering status in collegiate education notwithstanding, the Philippines has conspicuously lagged behind in almost everything, including education in college, compared to its Asian and ASEAN neighbors.

“We have actually become the exporting capital of the world, when it comes to Filipinos working in foreign soils, sending our sons and daughters to almost

Kakampi mo ang batas Atty. Batas Mauricio every nook and cranny of the planet in search of gainful employment, no matter how pitiable the working conditions are, no matter how measly the incomes given to Filipinos may have turned out to be.

-oooFAILURE OF PHILIPPINE EDUCATION: “Why is this happening to us when, precisely, many of us graduated and obtained our education from some of the best schools in the world? The reason, to me, arises from the failure of the country’s educational system to include as part of our college curriculum spirituality and matters of faith.

“If a survey of college subjects and activities being taught to students were to be made today, it would be easy to see that nothing is ever mentioned about God at all, or about spiritual values. Consequently, our students and almost all of

us grew up without having learned even just one word, or verse, from the Bible.

The question is, where is this going to bring us to?

“In its Deuteronomy 6:5 and 7, the Holy Bible tells us, in quite a strong manner, that we should teach our children to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, with all our souls and with all our strength, while we are working or sleeping, or while we are lying down or are up and about.

-oooREAL CAUSE OF DIFFICULT LIFE IN RP: “The obvious intent of this kind of a Biblical command is to make all of us revere the Being who owns each one of us, for He is our Creator, our Maker. What do you think is going to happen to anyone who does not follow this order, and truly love God in return?

“Deuteronomy 28:15 has the answer: `However, if

you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you…’

“This is the reason why our people and our nation are experiencing extreme poverty and unbearable hardships... These difficulties in life are happening to us not by accident, not by reason of our corrupt and inept government leaders, not by rising prices of commodities worldwide, but because of our having strayed away from God and His Word in the Bible, even if many will say they continue to have faith in God…” -oooREMINDERS: Please tune in: “Tambalang Batas at Somintac sa DZEC”, at 1062 kHz on the AM band, Mondays to Fridays, at 6 a.m., simulcast, real time, over www.eaglenews.ph; “Kakampi Mo Ang Batas sa Radyo Trabungko FM”, at 103.7 mHz in Don Carlos, Bukidnon, Mondays to Fridays, at 7 a.m.; and “Kakampi Mo Ang Batas sa DYKA” at 801 kHz on the AM band (Panay Island), Mondays to Fridays, at 10 a.m.

Business Approval of ‘Bottoms Up Budgeting’ projects needs MOA Advertising and Editorial E-mail : mindanaodailynewsgmail.com Mobile nos. : 0917-7121424 • 0947-8935776 Editor: CHENG ORDOÑEZ

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY-A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is needed by and between the city government and concerned agencies for the implementation of priority projects here, said City Councilor Prexy Elipe on Friday.

Most of these priority projects are listed as the Poverty Reduction Projects under the Bottom Up Budgeting (BUB) that involves various government line agencies, Elipe said.

Elipe, Chair of the City Council’s Committee on Finance and Ways and Means, said that his committee has not received a copy of the MOA under the BUB projects.

Among the government agencies involved in the BUB projects are the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG)

and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

He said that the Committee on Finance has already requested the concerned government agencies to submit the MOA for the city council to enact an appropriate legislation.“Until now there has been no MOA from the different line agencies,” Elipe said.

However, the council committee has requested the Local Finance Committee

(LFC) to source out funds for the city’s counterpart in the implementation of these priority projects.

The BUB projects include the Bigasan sa Barangay under the DOLE, school repairs, Gulayan sa Paaralan and Innovative Program for street children of the DeEd, farm to market roads and food terminal to be implemented by the DA and water system and livelihood programs under the DSWD. (PNA)

Asian underwater cable to boost Mindanao ICT

DAVAO CITY -- Global telecom firms in the East Asian Growth Area (EAGA) are planning to lay a submarine cable next year connecting Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, according to Atty. Sam Matanog, chairman of the ICT industry and the ICT Davao Association.

Matanog said the whole island of Mindanao will benefit from the telcom submarine cable project since this will connect Brunei to Mindanao directly and later linked to Guam (USA) in the Pacific which connects to the US mainland.

Top of f icials of the BIMP-EAGA have long recognized this problem and had been meeting

regularly to finalize several linkages and infrastructure projects between the four Asian countries, according to Matanog.

Internet ser vices at almost all internet cafes in this city and elsewhere in Mindanao were found to be the “slowest in Southeast

Asia” according to an unnamed ICT volunteer from Netherlands who made a survey of selected internet cafes here.

“Internet ser vice in this city, especially among the internet cafes, is the slowest in southeast Asia--it took a Dutch volunteer

to tell us this. The good news is, BIMP-EAGA is doing something about it,” Matanog said.

The average megabytes per second (mbps) of the internet ser vice among cafes here is 3.7 mbps while the average internet speed in Manila is around 7 mbps whose speed is still slower than other Asian countries like China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, etc., according to Matanog. “ We’re h opi n g t h i s EAGA submarine telecom cable will change all this and Mindanao will have faster internet,” Matanog said.

The ICT cluster chair added that in the Netherlands, internet speed is 500 times faster than here in the Philippines. (PNA)

(ZCCCFI), Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), and the DTI.

yesterday's observance of World Environment Day. As DENR’s flagship program, the program was launched in 2010 by Secretary Ramon J. Paje involving the estero community, private entities, academe, local government units (LGUs) and other stakeholders. The program sought to provide an integrated undertaking to curb flooding due to clogged esteros.

Balangasan Punong Barangay Maphilindo Obaob said the barangay officials have been actively supporting the government efforts in conserving and protecting the environment particularly the rivers, which are considered “the critical natural resource worldwide.”

“We have deep commitments to cleaning our rivers to prevent them from getting polluted. We need to preserve this valuable resource by preserving it,” Obaob explained.

Obaob recalled that decades ago, people who were living beside the creek washed their clothes in the rivers and their children were used also to taking a bath in the rivers. “But now we seldom see them because piles of garbage were thrown into the rivers, he said.”

“By regularly doing cleanup activities, we can ensure that our children's children will get full use of the rivers in this barangay,” Obaob concluded (GCC/ PIA9-Zamboanga del Sur)

DAVAO DEL NORTE l DAVAO DEL SUR lDAVAO DEL ORIENTALl COMPOSTELA VALLEY

80% in Davao agree with speed limits

DAVAO CITY - Nearly 8 in 10 Davaoeños agree with the overall intent of the driving speed limit ordinance although the approval varies depending on the imposed limits, a study by the University of Mindanao's Institute of Popular Opinion (IPO) revealed.

The study surveyed 1,200 respondents across the city’s three congressional districts from May 16-24 this year, with 936 people agreeing and 170 others not agreeing with the ordinance.

The respondents' reasons for agreeing with the executive order range from safety to discipline.

However, the IPO added that the respondents noted the law was “interestingly irregular” and “different from national law.”

The city imposed speed limits of 30, 40 and 60 kilometers per hour depending on the location and nature of the city's streets late last year through an executive order signed by Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte.

The survey said that majority of Davaoeños expressed the limits imposed by the ordinance to be within “the right speed,” with 80% of them saying the 40-kph speed limit in some of the city's longer roads were the “justified maximum acceleration.”

The figure, however, dropped when it comes to the 30 kph speed limit with only 75% of those surveyed agreeing with it while 19% wanted it increased. On the 60 kph limit, 77% of the respondents gave their

approval and 17% wanted it increased.

Regarding the city's highest speed limit, 60 kph, only four percent wanted the limit reduced.

As to the penalties, 583 or 62% of the respondents said the fines are commensurate to the violation.

Only 82 of the respondents, or 9%, said the penalty has to be reduced.

“Executive Order No. 39 … has drawn diverse reactions from the riding public since it was implemented six months ago,” the IPO said in a statement.

The survey also noted several perceived drawbacks of the EO. Of the 170 respondents who disagreed with the ordinance, 36% or 61 respondents said the EO lengthened their travel time to their workplace. Others claimed that it caused traffic gridlock and affected the economy.

Overall, 74% of the respondents believed that the speed limits were satisfactory. Only one percent of the respondents, or 12 people, said they were not satisfied with the limits.

Duterte has been adamant in keeping the current speed limits after hearing reports of children facing speeding public utility jeeps daily even when they are crossing pedestrian lanes.

E a r l i e r t h i s y e a r, Duterte even said vehicles used for emergencies such as ambulances and those used by police are not exempted from the executive order. (MindaNews)

Duterte wants partisan politics out of “auxiliary” police operations

D

By John Rizle L. Saligumba, Davao Today

AVAO CITY – Mayor Rodrigo Duterte wants strict supervision of the police on the operation of the civilian “auxiliary police” to counter akyat bahay (burglars) to avoid abuse and “colored partisan politics.”

“Ayaw ko yung mga bata (political patrons) ng mga barangay captain at yung mga kumpare. I will not allow them in the auxiliary force. Mahirap yan, gamitin ang pulitika (I do not want political patrons of barangay captain in the auxiliary force.

It would be difficult if politics comes in),” said Duterte in a command conference with police

and military commanders Friday.

Duterte said the “auxiliary police” are to be distinguished from barangay tanods (watchmen) who “will always follow the barangay captain.”

H o w e v e r, D u t e r t e also said the police commanders should “endeavor to talk to barangay captains”as it is a “community endeavor.”

“Because they will be bringing guns, they will always be under the supervision and control of station commanders all over the city,” said Duterte adding that having a gun “changes a person’s psyche.”

He reminded the police officers that the auxiliary police should only bring shotguns issued to them. “A shotgun is easily monitored and it should be returned after their respective duties,” he said.

As regard the role of barangay captains, Duterte said they should function like a mayor who can “set a direction” but should not “meddle into operations.”

Duterte said the general complaints of residents

in the city remains to be burglary affecting mostly middle class residential areas.

“Overall we’re better off with other cities in terms of controlling drugs, kidnapping and the crime index is minimal,”said Duterte.

Duter te told p olice commanders to “draw-up something” as the city has provided them with logistics and communications support. “First is you have to go around you area and find vulnerabilities,” he said suggesting that the police can even borrow the helicopter he is using to look at their respective areas of responsibility.

Coconut industry to join Japan exhibit in October DAVAO CITY - Coconut producers, processors and handicraft makers here are preparing for a benchmarking mission to Japan sometime in October this year and participate in a global trade fair.

Coconut industry chair Rosella Villaruel, an officer of Philippine Coconut Authority, told consultants of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) that various coconut products from Davao like coco sugar, virgin coconut oil, coco fiber, coco-based soap, active carbon, geonets, coco

peat, etc will be displayed in a special booth during the Japan trade fair.

“We’re preparing brochures and product information handbills for the trade fair, but we have to make sure they’re all translated in Japanese,” Villaruel told JICA consultants here.

Villaruel said the coconut industry team is looking forward to meeting potential buyers during the Japan trade fair, not just Japanese buyers but also other foreign traders and importers from China, US and Europe.

Santos said this is apart from secured and centralized parking area, checkpoints and some 381 security personnel will be deployed daily for the weeklong festivities.

The enhanced security system was given special attention to this year’s celebration to address complaints aired by festival visitors on the string of incidents including pickpocketing and theft of motorcycles.

He asked the local media to help disseminating the innovations in the security to assuage some fears, especially those being victimized by bad elements last year.

The security measures would be also enforced against those troublemakers at the height of revelries especially during live concerts of popular bands from Manila.

Provincial Administrator Jesusimo Ronquillo said the organizing committee will also beef up security forces from village peacekeepers and even Army soldiers.

Naliyagan Festival will kick off on June 12 with a simultaneous celebration of 116th Independence Day and will end up on June 17 together with the 47th Foundation Anniversary of Agusan del Sur.

In her affidavit of complaint, Mayor Edna O. Benito of Balabagan said she and her constituents are religiously paying their electric bills under Lasureco-imposed “pakyaw system” without the benefit of official receipts issued by Lasureco.

Points were raised on the power generation providers for Moresco 1 due

These concerns, however, were assured by the officials that this has been projected and planned thoroughly, following the requirements and compliances as part of

the long process prior to its engagement.

gone down to U.S. $ 170 million in 2012 from a high of U.S. $ 1.57 billion.

The National Statistics Office showed that outbound shipments of garments were valued at $1.57 billion in 2012, 17.03% lower than in 2011 while textile exports also went down by 7.26% year-on-year to $170.36 million in 2012, the resolution said.

It said that the revenues for the garment industry started to decline following the lifting of the country’s export quota of garments to the US and China, which opened its economy for international trade and other countries like Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Bangladesh offered lower prices compared to local firms; Robert Young, the President of the Foreign Buyers Association of the Philippines (FOBAP) has reported that the textile industry lost about 300,000 to 500,000 jobs in the past six years in the garment sector alone.

Young said that the FOBAP now seeks funding support from the government to revive the country’s garment industry in a bid to regain one-fourth of the lost employment of around 150,000 to 200,000 jobs.

He said that the government support is needed in order to implement projects to revive the garment industry, including mapping garments and hard goods sectors, and compliance program.

Another important factor is the “invite” the Chief Executive Officers where the CEO and buyers of the major department stores abroad are invited – all expenses paid – to come to the Philippine in order to show to them the garment industry in the country is alive and stakeholders are ready to meet the demands of the international market.

Among the government agencies involved in the BUB projects are the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

He said that the Committee on Finance has already requested the concerned government agencies to submit the MOA for the city council to enact an appropriate legislation.

“Until now there has been no MOA from the different line agencies,” Elipe said.

However, the council committee has requested the Local Finance Committee (LFC) to source out funds for the city’s counterpart in the implementation of these
