Tech-savvy Japs in Siargao for "platinum" anniversary

By Eugenio Lira Jr.

DAPA, SURIGAO DEL NORTE - Lured by the growing popularity of Siargao Island as one of Asia-Pacific region’s major tourism destinations, a contingent of 300 information technology experts from Japan are being treated to a four-day blowout in this “paradise island”.

The all-expense paid holiday that started on June 7 until today is sponsored by AWS Group of Companies, a multi-million Japanese IT firm, one of the major players in the global market.

AWS Vice President

Lizabeth Ong-Coro said the company’s top Japanese executives took the Sayak Airport in Del Carmen town, while the rest at the Port of Dapa on board a chartered fastcraft from Cebu City.

She identified the corporate honchos as Masayuki Aoki, Akira Konishi and Tadashi Ishikawa.

“Our company has chosen Siargao as venue for our 20th anniversary because the island has plenty to offer, such as the world-famous surfing spot of Cloud 9,

Caraga achieves 100% in health scorecard

By Arjay S. Felicilda, Assistant Editor

CARAGA Region’s 77 local government units have achieved a 100 per cent performance rating in the LGU Scorecard on Health Online Data Entr y, a sub-system of the L ocal Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS).

The information received by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG–13) SIARGAO | page 11 on May 24, 2013 from the Bureau of Local Government and Supervision also mentioned Regions II, III, IV-B and the National Capital Region, as having able to achieve similar status to that of Caraga Region, according to DILG-13 Information Officer Florian Faith Jr. P. Bayawa.

He said the LGU Scorecard for Health is a tool

Basis of award was SNMPC’s Capability Building and Strengthening of Flat Bed Dryer (FBD) Cooperators and Industr y Partners Towards Sustainability.

The FBC units were distributed nationwide.

In the process, the cooperators were oriented on the principle of sustainability.

The award is expected to encourage the cooperators to perform well and strive to sustain the facility.

According to Engr. Jean Neri, PHilMech, regional field coordinator for Caraga, the region already had 76 FBD recipient farmerassociations.

Sto. Niño MPC of Butuan City came out among others for performing well, in terms of utilization, maintenance, innovation, improvement, active support to the program, project impact and over-all management.

In the process of knowing the top LGU achievers, data from calendar year 2012 were utilized and encoded on the online Health Scorecard.

The Province of Dinagat Islands was, however, not included as its questioned constitutionality of being a province was only resolved on September 11, 2012, Bayawa further explained.

Dealing Pupils with Learning Disability: A Teachers’ Short Guide

By MARY GLO BACARRISAS – CATARONG

School opening is here again and teachers should have a great awareness about learning disability and some strategies in handling them. To deal pupils with learning disability is never easy but when one does, it becomes a fulfilling job as an educator!

According to the Department of Education,

COWD... from page 2

COWD due to five interruptions.

“In May 2 0 1 3 , t h e problem b ecame more pronounced with eleven (11) interruptions due to turbidity and over delivery. As a result, Rio Verde increased its delivery rate to as much as 2,500 cu.m. per hour to compensate but would stop when they had reached 40,000 cu.m. This was not what was needed by our system and certainly not what we specified to Rio Verde,” Mr. Batar said.

“Our plant can deal with all kinds of turbidity but we just chose to operate when the raw water abstracted from the Bubunawan River is less turbid since we can still comply with the daily requirement of 40,000 cu.m. even if we choose to do this,” said Engr. Joffrey E. Hapitan, Sr. Vice President for Operations of Rio Verde in a text message from Leyte.

COWD management met with Rio Verde officials on April 24 and again last May 31 to address the problem.

Mr. Hapitan confirmed COWD has ordered additional volumes starting June 1st which has enabled them to deliver at the average rate of 2,000 cu.m. per hour.

“As of today, supply from Rio Verde is stable at more or less a constant rate throughout the day,” Mr. Batar said. “This is what is most beneficial to our system.”| Besides the bulk water supply, Ms. Beja also stressed the need to address the COWD’s long standing problem with Non-Revenue Water (NRW) which is now averaging around 52-54%, down from the previous 59%.

“Addressing NRW is a very capital extensive undertaking requiring at least PhP 500,000.00,” Ms. Beja said. “This involves extensive pipe replacement and rehabilitation and the program was integrated into the proposed increase in water rates from PhP 16 to PhP 21/cu.m. However, since the rate adjustment supposed to have been implemented two years ago was shelved, it has been very difficult to address without a major capex.”

learning disabilities affect around 40,000 Filipino schoolchildren. The majority of these affected kids are boys.

Learning disability is defined as a neurological condition that interferes with a person’s ability to store, process, or produce information (LD Association of America, 2011).

This kind of disability is commonly hereditary, this cannot be cured or treated, and this is life-long.

Pupils should not be

called as lazy, dumb or “bobo”. The problem here is on how their brain processes information in a different way as others does. The common types of learning disability are: dyslexia (disability in reading words); dyscalculia (disability in mathematical problems, numbers, etc.); and dysgraphia (disability in writing and other spatial orientation).

Proper interventions are very much needed to address these kinds of dis-

Ralph Vincent T. Abaragan, chairman of the SAVE CDO Now Movement, who was present during the press conference, posted online his disappointment with the COWD's poor performance in addressing the issues facing it.

"We acknowledge the efforts of the management to explain to the public how ser vices failed on some occasions before and presently and how they address it, but to us the consuming public couldn't care less about such details and that the board of directors together with the top management obviously was not able to anticipate, much more prepare, in arresting possible failures related to the works of the whole system."

"We see no concrete master plan on how to curb system loss, connection theft, future immediate demand increments and much more preventive mai nte nanc e to avoi d service failures. Back up systems are clearly not defined, rescue initiatives not evident. We view your efforts to be your best but unfortunately your best isn't good enough. The data you have accumulated over the years of operation are enough tools and references for your necessary study or analysis and actions that need not be the defining line of your shortcomings."

"On this light the public must be made satisfied, and participation of civil society and all other sectors must be given an outmost priority as taxpayers and stake holders of this failing institution."

However, Tito Mora, a member of the environ-

mental watchdog SULOG, One Sendong is Enough, who attended the press conference, said there’s more to water supply problem than meets the eye.

“Rio Verde stopped the supply of water due to the river's turbidity. Now that Rio Verde and the COWD have sat down to have a continuous supply despite turbidity of the river, we all need to address the root cause of turbidity.

On June 25, SULOG will be facing multinational and industrial firms deriving their income from the environment. Our hope is for the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices, payment for environmental ser vices and other issues to address concerns such as the turbidity of our water system.

This is the second forum/ workshop and follow-up to the SULOG forum which will serve as an input for the incoming leaders of the region which carries with it our commitment to make the plans work.

Former councilor Bob Ocio, who chaired the city council environment committee during his tenure, shared this observation: “The water supply situation is like a ticking time bomb. It is not a problem but simply a symptom of a large-scale environmental crisis. How are we going to solve the problem in a split second when all they left are denuded forests? I have been advocating for a massive and large scale Food Forest Restoration Program”. The earlier for us to realize this, the better.

Or we shall be all glued in disaster and disasters due to the environmental crisis which we are actually facing.”

ability in pupils. The following are some strategies that teachers may apply in dealing with learning disability: • Break down instructions into small steps; • Be simple in giving commands/directions; • Help pupils to realize the objectives in every lesson; • Say or discuss what are

expected of them; • Make use of graphics, diagrams, or pictures; • Ne ver s ay negat ive against their works; • Encourage them in every activity in school; • Provide positive reinforcements for a well-done activity; • Inform parents on how they can help their child

at home; and • Use, if possible, Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) Teachers should always bear in mind that having a pupil with learning disability is very challenging for this serves as a test on how efficient they are in becoming an educator to one’s life.

IN spite of the much-ballyhooed 7.8 percent growth in the country’s Gross Domestic Production, the country is still reeling in abject poverty. The truth is that the people did not, or will never; notice any economic development in this country in the next 10 years. Well, that is a conservative albeit an ambiguous statement.

What might be obvious is the fact that this country could never bail Cris Diaz out of the quagmire of poverty in the future. How could this country move forward as everybody wishes?

One could not even understand how the economic managers were able to justify the approved budget for the fiscal year 2013. Perchance, we are ordinary mortals who do not understand the nitty-gritty of budgetary priorities.

This simply leads us to an unstructured understanding of state sponsored budget spending. Nevertheless, we are looking at the budgetary priorities of the government in its simplest and concrete forms.

For instance, the government allocated a P 238 billion for the Department of Education this year. Despite the huge amount, DepEd still suffers shortage of teachers, lack of classrooms, books, and amenities in public schools.

This problem leaves our jaws stuck in wonder on how DepEd is spending the taxpayers’ hard-earned money.

Why do public schools complain of the lack of everything when in truth the education department is financially stable? There must be problems somewhere else. Or, is this because that corruption still abounds in public schools and universities in the country?

We are not accusing the education department of its incompetence in handling public funds. Notwithstanding, we are wondering how the education department is spending P 238 billion budget.

We also heard of public school teachers asking local government units for various infrastructure projects in their schools. For instance, public school teachers begged for the construction of new school buildings at the expense of local government units. Where does the DepEd allocate the budget for this purpose? We want the education department to be transparent in the spending of public fund. Otherwise, it would be just fair to reduce the education department’s budget to subsistence level. Let other government department such as the health and social services departments enjoy more budget than any other does.

Another government that enjoys so much budget is the Department of Interior and Local Government Unit (DILG). What for? DILG’s mandate is to supervise operation of local government units such as provinces, cities, and municipalities. The interior department does provide funds for the operation of local government units. With an annual budget of more than P 121 billion, it becomes inevitable for Juan de la Cruz (the common man) to be disturbed. Candidly speaking, the interior government department is one of the highly expensive “white elephants” whose huge budget is unfair to the taxpaying public.

Can anybody explain why this government could not deliver the basic services that the citizenry really needs? The health department’s 2013 budget is only P 54 billion, a budget almost equal to the annual budget of the social services department of about P 54 billion, too. React: crisguardian@yahoo.com

Misplaced priorities deny the citizenry of basic services

GOD moves and works in miraculous and mysterious ways.

It is a fact that He made each and every human being unique and extra-ordinary.

In fact, no two beings are physically the same. He gave man his free-will and the ability to find out and reason out things the way he wants to. Some are gifted with extra ordinary intellects while others, so so.

Yet to every man He created was instilled with the command to “Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.”

(Proverbs 3:5-6). We are told, positively, to trust the

The New Generation Alex A. Podador Lord and, negatively, not to trust our own understanding. In other words, if we trust in the Lord, we cannot also depend upon our own ability to understand everything God is doing.

If we are to truly trust Him, we have to let go of our pride, our programs, and our plans. Even the best-laid human plans can-

not begin to approach the magnificent of God’s plan.

“For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom” (1 Corinthians 1:25).

Many of us want to weigh things by our own pressumptions but in so many areas we must acknowledge that we cannot understand. We must approve of God’s ways, even when we

can’t comprehend them.

Isaiah 55:8-9 tells us why we often don’t understand what God is doing: “’For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.’” God sees the whole picture, while we only see our tiny corner of it. To trust in the Lord with all our heart means we can’t place our own right to understand above His right to direct our lives the way He sees fit. When we insist on God always making sense to our finite minds, we are setting ourselves up TRUST | page 7

Are you merciful?

Fresh Gospel of the day: Luke7:11-17(June9, 2013-Sunday)Luke 7:1117-And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare [him] stood still.

And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

And he that was dead

Biblical reflection Bro. Edcel L. Closas sat up, and began to speak.

And he delivered him to his mother.

And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, that a great prophet is risen up among us; and, that God hath visited his people.

And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about: this is the “scenario of truth after death” that there is a resur-

rection in the second life.

In Corinthian 15:3556- this is the details of the resurrection of the dead and we must hope for this gift of life.

The “souls in heaven will come down here on earth at the end and to unite again with the dust body and this will become a “glorified body.”

In John11:38-44-Lazaro “rose from the dead” because of the “power of Jesus.”

The “pity of Jesus urges him to help” the family of this dead son.

This is concrete evidence that Jesus is merciful and he can’t afford to watch the situation of a person.

So meaning, God intervenes in our day to day life situations.

This is not like us, we are just watching the “dilemma and sufferings of others.”

Are you merciful?

ONE of the central themes in the Bangko Sentral’s financial education and literacy advocacy is the need for our citizens not just to save - but to save in banks.

While the Bangko Sentral has made progress during the last ten years, the Bangko Sentral still has more ground to cover.

Ten years ago, only one out of five Filipinos had savings. Today, this figure has improved to one out of four. But of those who had savings, only two out of five saved in banks.

The Bangko Sentral maintains that saving in banks would still be more advantageous compared to keeping money at home – in

Savings in banks earn deposits. Savings in banks are mobilized by these institutions for on-lending to productive enterprises or for consumption. Thus savings in banks help grow the economy.

Finally, all things being equal, savers in banks are protected from risks such

as thefts, fires and similar occurrences.

During our regular financial education and literacy programs, we are almost always asked the following question: “You encourage us to save in banks. But you keep closing banks! How then do you expect us to save in banks?”

When we choose to direct our lives according to what seems right to us, we often reap disaster.

Every culture has tried to get God to approve of its definition of right and

wrong, but God never changes and His standards never change.

Every person must make a decision whether to live his or her life according to personal preference or according to the unchanging Word of God.

but something that can be explained.

First, the total size of closed banks is but a small fraction of the entire financial system.

We also explain the closures by clarifying the role of the Bangko Sentral as the supervisor and regulator of banks. That the mandate of the BSP is to make the entire banking system strong and resilient. That strict rules and regulations are put in place to ensure that banks have adequate capital, that they under good management and that those who accept other people’s money as deposit act with prudence at all times BANKS | page 11

This year, Hedcor aims at planting at least 200,000 trees to protect the environment and its investments in the power industry.

The company do this through partnership with its host communities. Also, every employee of the wholly-owned subsidiary of the AboitizPower Corp. is encouraged to plant at least 20 trees a year.

“Tree planting in partnership with host communities has been observed regularly,” he said.

Last year, Hedcor planted over 600,000 trees all over the country.

“We also educate people not to cut trees,” he said as

he explained that educating residents of host communities on the importance of watersheds is just as important as its reforestation projects.

Hedcor is also into river bank stabilization, road-side rehabilitation and watershed management/reforestation.

No other company in the power industry can top Hedcor’s projects in protecting the environment, which it has been doing for the past 35 years of its existence.

Proof to this is its Seal of Approval from the Department of Energy (DoE) and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The company is also an ISO certified for Environ-

ment Management Systems.

The company, however, does not stop there. Its foresters constantly monitor and maintain the trees to ensure its survival.

Hedcor is presently coordinating with the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) for the free and prior intent consent (FPIC) process for its 52 megawatt (MW) hydropower plant project in Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon.

“This project in Manolo Fortich will not affect any lumad community. But we will be passing through an ancestral domain land, so we need to get their FPIC to allow us to pass through to

Mindanao’s power shortage assuming we get all necessary permits on time,” he said.

The greatest hurdle a hydropower plant project needs to overcome is how to secure a total of 27 permits before it can even start.

“It is Hedcor’s policy that we will not start a project if we lack even one permit,” Jabonillo said.

Hedcor signed last March a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with local government officials of the barangays of Dalirig, Guilang-Guilang, Santiago and Maluco of Manolo Fortich and Barangay Guihean of Impasug-ong town.

Also present during the MOA signing was Impasugong Mayor Mario Okinlay. He was present because one of the rivers that will be harnessed to provide power to Hedcor’s plants passes through Impasug-ong.

The MOA signing signaled the start of a more detailed feasibility study for the project.

Romeo Montenegro, Investment Promotion and Public Affairs director for the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), hailed Hedcor for its projects, saying these hydropower plants will help ease the Mindanao power shortage.

Montenegro told the Business Daily recently that Mindanao will require at least 500 MW of new capacity by 2016, another 500 MW by 2020, and 1,600MW by 2030.

Three years from now or by 2016, the power situation in the southern Philippines will considerably improve when all committed power projects, including coal-fired power plants project, will go online.

Aside from its Manolo Fortich project, Hedcor is also presently constructing two run-of-river hydro plants known as “Tudaya 1” and “Tudaya 2” in Davao del Sur, with a combined capacity of 14 MW. These plants are expansions of the existing Sibulan Hydropower plants, which are generating 42.5 MW for the Davao Region, which hosts seven (2 in Sibulan and 5 in Talomo) of Hedcor’s 19 hydropower plants nationwide.

Surigao water rationing starts

By Arjay S. Felicilda, Assistant Editor

SURIGAO CITY — Thirsty Surigaonons went mad during the first day of water rationing by the Surigao Metropolitan Water District (SMWD), Friday, for not immediately having their share.

The city’s lone water utility has resorted to rationing starting 12 dawn of Friday because of existing water crisis brought about by the long drought in the area since last week of April, this year.

“Most of the complainants were from Barangay San Juan and Taft,” SMWD Officer-in-Charge Rodulfo Ravelo disclosed.

One of them was Cresol Mantong of Purok Navalca, Barangay San Juan who

Forces of the Philippines and the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, the “TAPS” sounded.

The ashes were then placed in the urn, with designated officials marching to the designated burial ground.

As the assembly disperses, flowers were given, symbolic white balloons were launched and patriotic songs were sung, led

by Police Sr. Supt. Cedrick G. Train, PRO 13 deputy regional director for operations.

“We hope this will be an event that the entire community will come out and support,” Regional Director Napenas said.

The purpose of PRO 13 in conducting the ceremony was to show and encourage the Filipino to respect the National symbol and to provide for disposal of unserviceable flags in a dignified manner. (ZMP/ MMG/asf )

castigated the water facility after water failed to flow out of their faucets despite the scheduled rationing, saying “I got pissed off by the situation because I thought we would already have some water.”

Another complainant, Barangay Taft Kagawad Noli Abrea, said he waited until 4 a.m. of Friday, but no water ever came out of their faucets.

“Aside from sleepless nights, the water situation has caused us so much hassles because the rationing schedule was not religiously followed. We could have at least two hours of water,” he said.

The SMWD was still tr ying to improve the scheme.

It can be recalled that during the regular city

council session on Thursday, Councilor Baltazar Abian underscored the worsening water situation in the city, recounting the same experience the city had in the past.

He questioned the water provider for not anticipating the situation.

“I d on’t k now w hy SMWD did not find a long term solution to this problem,” the councilor said.

SMWD has divided the water rationing into five groups, such as Group 1 : Barangays Luna, Bonifacio, Rizal, Cagniog, Canlanipa, Poctoy, Quezon, San Roque, Togbongon and Washington, 7pm to 1am, with 264 cubic meters of water per hour.

Group 2: Taft, San Juan and Washington, 6am. to 4 p.m., 330 cubic per hour.
