hina and the Philippines have long been trading partners as evidenced by relics from the Ming Dynasty which have been found even in a relatively far-off places from the empire like the Huluga site of Cagayan de Oro’s first settlement, so it’s not strange to find cultural links between the Chinese and Filipino peoples even today, the territorial issues over some islands notwithstanding.
One of Cagayan de Oro’s foremost performance artists recently had the enviable experience to spend some two weeks with his peers in a rural area of China. “The Asian Village Project, Latent Action, was an overwhelming experience for me as a participating artist. It brought me to an opportunity of sharing my performances and meeting new people from different cultures,” said Nicolas Aca, Jr., resident artist and gallery curator, of Capitol University’s Museum of Three Cultures in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. Longting Village in Heyang County, Weinan City, Shanxi Province is a microcosm of rural society in Guanzhong Plain, the birthplace of China’s agricultural society. This area is the repository of thousands of years of Chinese rural civilization which
is being eroded by the combined weathering of growing urbanization and capitalism. China’s traditional Confucian moral and political mores are crumbling under the stress of physical and artist/PAGE 5

By Mike Baños
here’s a new landmark in Cagayan de Oro and it’s a dedication of thanksgiving to God for his 100 years of faithfulness to the Cagayan de Oro City Church of the United Church of the Philippines (UCCP). The markers was formally unveiled last Sunday, 18 December 2016, during the church’s Centennial Celebration of its first formal Sunday Worship held at Cine Biyay on 17 December 1916. From the 18 young volunteers who were baptized in Macabalan on September 1916 to the 64 charter members who joined the then pioneering Cagayan
Evangelical Church on 20 January 1917, the church today has grown to a vibrant and diverse community with over 5,600 regular members served by 13 ministers. In addition, it has another 1,100 members in nine outreach churches and Bible Study (BS) centers all over the city Located at the entrance approach to the church, the 20 foot tall monument recalls the original design of the church with two praying hands, a cross, the soaring peace bird and two hands holding a bible with a scripture verse inspired by Matthew 16:18, “ 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the
gates of Hades, will not overcome it.”(NIV) “This Centennial Marker will tell our children that we are a Praying, singing and Bible Reading Church,” explained Rev. Ricardo Yañez, CDO UCCP senior minister. “The Centennial Commission (at the instance of Vice Chairman Jose Gatus as a fitting memento to the centennial of our church) decided to construct a marker to commemorate the occasion, so I came up with a design depicting symbols of our church and the people who built it,” said the church’s resident artist Tenny Torres. Torres submitted a design to the commission who made

The white granite pillars of the monument recalls the praying hands design of the city church which was designed by Architect Maceren and dedicated in 1977. “Mainly it is a pair of praying hands patterned after the frontage of our church, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit represented by the dove,” said Rev. Prudencio T. Plaza, Jr., Centennial Commission Chairman. “The soaring peace dove recalls this is an evangelist church guided by the Holy Spirit, landmark/PAGE 7 The Centennial Marker by night

Christmas is always special.I recall every moment of it as a a child. When the poor kids on our neighborhood gathers in our house while 20 pesos bill hang on our christmas tree for a give a away.Yes that was years of bliss.We were not born of silver spoon but the generousity that my dad taught me has been with me all through this years.You see when i was in New York 7 long years has taught me so much.I have seen bums in the subway filthy, hungry and cold they would stand on th vent to warm their cold bodies and i want to give them coats.Then at the rock church Ministries we were given a mission we would stand and go around the streets giving away Coffee and hot chocolate and muffins and donuts to share to the homeless people.We would have boxes of coats to give.At my own conscience i am helping this american and in my country people need help tremendously.So i vowed when i come home my life will be shared to those that
needed love an attention the abandoned children. This charity work that i do and have been doing for quite sometime now and i admire people and organization doing charity work ,people after Gods heart.Thus i have met the

Thoughts to guide us by A few days more ... . Christmas evokes memories and sentiments that travel with us treasured gifts of our hearts. it is the time for reflection of the year past, of things we’ve done to make a difference in the lives of others. Elvie Punzalan-Estavillo, fellow Philippine Star columnist voiced it out very well already several years ago. It’s indeed a time for thanksgiving for the blessings received, and for the trials and pains that helped shape, strengthen, and mold us to become better persons. “Hay nako” - the typical Philippine expression, I adopted many times since living in the Philippines for good. What on earth am I here for? The more I look around, the more people I’m able to observe: stranded
people in my places worldwide, still having the optimistic smile on their faces. People, who are losing more and more of their bearings and are getting muddled in their lives. If political leaders confuse us more instead of leading us on the right way, we cry out for a satisfying answer through the institution church. Modesty will never get them what they actually deserve. Charity and brotherly or sisterly love, as the bible teaches us, are becoming foreign terms. moral and human values are badly needed to drive and out energy and vigor in our daily life as we stroll into painful indifference and peppered egoism. Our daily ill feelings regarding all parts of our life can’t be or can’t remain as a permanent state of affairs. Incompetent
and incapable leaders, who are still being able to continue in their own monstrous, unhindered and impertinent style are every country’s poison and reason for decline. Make sure that during this season Christmas is in our hearts and do not allow this heart to be like a crib, full of dirt, broken glass and nails. Time out from our busy schedules and seemingly endless work and tasks - to take a pause should be really important for all of us. Praying in the quiet chapel or somewhere in your surroundings, time to forgive and mend a broken friendor relationship, time to think about people, who we need in life, time to do good deeds. Yes, Christmas is in the air, more rightly, Christmas is in the heart. A blessed

What kind the Asian performance of sound and concept can artists’ movement on be conveyed when art
intervenes into village? How can art practice in Asian villages extend our thoughts? This would be the questions and thinking path that we will face and deal with during this village project,” Wang writes. Within this context, “Latent Action” Performance Art Institute initiated this Asian Village Project. This project, as part of the “Latent Action” Asian Performance Art Project, collaborated with performance art organizations and institutes in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan and Philippines. “Within two weeks of my stay, I was beyond happy to experience the great hospitality of the people in Longting Village,” shared Aca.“We were well accommodated and immersed in the area. It was a heartwarming experience to see how their culture works and moves.” Latent Action Performance Art Institute was founded by Wang Chuyu and Qiao Shengxu in April 2016, and was previously known as the GUYU Action Performance Art Organization. From October 1831, Aca joined other participating artists in a residency program, among them: Banpo (Beijing, China), Dennis Tan (Singapore), Hu Yanzi (Chongqing, China), Jeremiah Hiah (Singapore), Mohamad Haryo Hotomo (Indonesia), Auyeung Tung (Hong Kong), Qiao Shengxu (Hong Kong), Vichukoru Tangpaiboon (Thailand). Watan Uma (Taiwan), and Wang Chuyu (Beijing, China). He was the only Filipino
artist selected for the program. “Together with other Asian artists, all of us were given the chance to perform, but unfortunately not all chose to join the residency program. On October 24, Aca conducted a solo performance at Longting Village where he performed his Convergence. “My performance, Convergence, conceptualizes the need of Asian countries to congregate and come together to improve bonds between participating artists. It also aims to reach out, appreciate, understand, and value each other’s cultural differences.” Convergence was held in an abandoned railway station, dysfunctional and useless, ref lecting the concept of the performance in putting together Asian countries to bring their thoughts together, and thus help in possibly regenerating the village. “With the help of Singaporean artist Jeremy Hiah, it was a whole lot easier to understand the Chinese language and it enabled me to communicate with other artists and the people at the village,” Aca said. In a tribute to Aca’s performance, the officials of Longting Village requested him to bequeath his photo exhibit to its future generations where it will be exhibited in the village’s hall for them to ponder upon. Indeed, a simple tribute to a great artist that generations will long remember. -I N D N J C -
Lately, we have heard proposals, mostly foolish, coming from the Department of Energy and from the Mindanao Development Authority that supposedly will reduce the rates for electric power supply in Mindanao. Even if the proponents were wiser, none of the proposals will result in significant reduction of power rates unless the main cause for high rates in Mindanao is addressed: incompetent, if not corrupt, power supply contracting by distribution utility companies in Mindanao. In the sordid history of baseload power supply contracting in the electric power industry in Mindanao in the past decade, the one good episode was the power supply agreement in 2013 between the Power Supply Aggregation Group Corporation (PSAGCOR) of the Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperatives (AMRECO) and the GN Power Kauswagan (GNPK) of the Ayala group of companies. All other power supply agreements for baseload power between distribution utility companies and generating companies in Mindanao have been just one form or another of moro-moro, all show and no substance. It was only early this year 2016 (in the power supply agreements for the generation of the Malita coal power plant of the San Miguel Consolidated Power Corporation) that the electric cooperatives resumed honestto-goodness leastcost acquisition of baseload power supply, conforming with the EPIRA requirement that “the contracting and procurement of the equipment, assets and services have been subjected to transparent and accepted industry procurement and purchasing practices to protect the public interest”. But that was a fluke, resulting only because the electric cooperatives have become wary of continuing to flout the EPIRA requirement for least-cost acquisition
of power supply, and because the SMCPC did not fear facing competition for baseload power supply for the electric cooperatives. Unless legal charges are carried out against the electric cooperatives involved in the Apo IPPA Scam and in the Coal Power Plant Scam, the errant electric cooperatives will resume their incompetent (if not corrupt) ways of “negotiating” power supply agreements without carrying out legitimate least-cost acquisition. The power supply agreement between PSAGCOR and GNPK resulted in an effective rate of around 4.16 pesos per kilowatthour. All other PSAs (excepting again the Malita coal power plant of the SMCPC, but including all coal power plants embedded in the distribution systems) have an effective rate per kWh of 5.00 pesos or more. The power supply agreements for power supply from the SMCPC coal power plant in Malita also resulted in a price of around 4.16 pesos per kWh. The Department of Energy of the government of President Rodrigo R. Duterte has placed the reduction of power rates in the Philippines as one of its key objectives. However, based on recent pronouncements of the DOE as to how they are going to attain that, there are only two chances that it will happen while PRRD is president: fat and slim. It is clear that no serious thinking has gone into the pronouncements coming from the Department of Energy concerning the electric power industry in the Philippines. But even if the DOE seriously considered the available opportunities to reduce electric power rates, any program they will carry out will prove futile for reducing rates unless the main obstacle to having fair and reasonable prices for electricity were removed: the regulatory capture of the Energy Regulatory Commission by the corporations (mainly MERALCO tauli/PAGE 7

When that happens, power consumers in Mindanao can petition the ERC to bring down the rates of the power supply agreements for baseload power to the levels that could have been attained if the distribution utility companies carried out legitimate least-cost acquisition processes. Then, and only then, would we see the reduction of the rates for electricity in Mindanao. (Engr. David A. Tauli is the President of the Mindanao Coalition of Power Consumers)
