Apply now for CDO-Norfolk High School Student Summer Exchange Program T By Imma Rae D. Gatuslao
he City Government is now accepting applications for the first Cagayan de Oro-Norfolk High School Student Summer Visitor Exchange Program which will have its initial run on July 1-15, 2018 in Norfolk, Virginia, USA.
Deadline for submission of applications is Thursday, February 15, 2018. The student exchange program is an initiative of the sister cities relations of Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines and Norfolk City, Virginia, USA. It is aimed at bringing the youth from both cities closer together in a brief yet rich summer program that promotes cultural awareness, and intercultural understanding. The high school students will stay with “host siblings” who would allow them to experience family life in an American setting, hone their interpersonal skills, and cultivate lifelong friendships. The first visit will come from Cagayan de Oro. For our students, the Norfolk Sister City Association has prepared an itinerary which will enable delegates opportunities to appreciate a new culture as well as our very own
on a fresher and deeper level. The delegation will visit parks, monuments, museums, and historical and cultural sites like the Norfolk Naval Station, considered the largest naval base in the world, and The Mermaid Shop, where they will have a handson experience creating their own version of the Norfolk Visitors Bureau’s mermaid icon. A visit to the Philippine Embassy Washington, D.C. will also be included. For this first run, the program will have six participants. Qualified to apply for the program are high school students in any public or private school in Cagayan de Oro, who have not yet graduated from high school; not below 15 years of age and above 18 years old during the program; must have good communication skills, and whose verbal English capability is intermediate or above average; must be mature program/PAGE 7

Xavier Ateneo stude among 2018 UP National Writers Workshop fellows A student of Xavier Ateneo’s MA Literature program has been named as one of the 12 writing fellows to the 57th University of the Philippines National Writers Workshop (UPNWW). XU graduate student
and Cagayan de Oro City-based poet Mark Anthony “Ton” Daposala says in an online interview he is glad his manuscript was selected for UP NWW, which will run from April 1 to 8. “I believe this [workshop] will help
me greatly, considering that the panel will be critiquing the whole manuscript. Writing a poem is one thing, but gathering and arranging poems in a book is another — it’s an entirely different beast,” Daposala shares.
Organized by the Likhaan: UP Institute of Creative Writing, the event’s official announcement states that the UP NWW, previously dedicated to helping up-and-coming writers, has been reformatted to writers/PAGE 7

How to ‘survive’? Sometimes, we might ask ourselves: What is the sense of doing this and that? What is the meaning of life? I am sure, each and every one of us looks for a good life. Sometimes, we seem to remain very optimistic. We think it’s easy to find always a good life. Most of the time, we are in doubt or, we even choose to be unhappy without any reason at all. To wake up in the morning with pessimism and fall asleep at night, dissatisfied and unhappy - yes, that makes life miserable. Without happiness and satisfaction there is indeed no space for peace in our hearts and minds. Therefore there is no domestic harmony and logically, no peace on earth. The meaning of happiness is trying to manage life even with big problems, difficulties and trials. I learned this from Filipinos since staying in the Philippines as an expatriate for good in 1999.I was really surprised to experience mutual happiness, friendship, love, unity and communal spirit with relatives in my surroundings. Of course, I also found myself in very negative situations. I observed people, who seem to live an easy go lucky way life. But, they were like actors and actresses on stage, wearing incredible masks and pretending to be what they are not. Hence, in Greek, they are the so-called hypocrites. Maybe also you and me are belonging to them from time to time. Fear of rejection or displeasure of other people are becoming our daily friends. In society, it’s called “good public relation”. Politely greeting and smiling with a set of purpose: to win them to their business. William Congreve (1670-1729), English dramatist shaped the English comedy of manners through his brilliant comic dialogue, his satirical portrayal of the war of the sexes, and his ironic scrutiny of the affectations of his age. His major plays were The Old Bachelour (1693),
The Double-Dealer Have My Say (1693), Love for Love (1695), and The Way of the World (1700).In his “Preface to Dryden”, he wrote: No mask like open truth to cover lies as to go naked is the best disguise. So, what really counts for us in life? Klaus Doring Success? Power? Strength? Money? Is it contentment? Is it peace on earth? Is it peace in our homes? Zest for life? Let us go through life’s journey: From the time, we have been babies bubbling like a brook on the first blush of spring. We hurried up, unaware of problems and troubles, being unconscious of time, as adults we worried and became conscious of money. Then, suddenly, we looked at our aces, the first wrinkles, and the baldy patch on the forehead, the first grey hair. We observed our teeth falling out and our eyeglasses got thicker and our bones crack here and there. We start the familiar line: “When I was young... .” And we realize our mortality. Death could knock at our door any time. We feel humbled. We have mellowed. Have I done no wrong? Have I been self less or selfish? Have I been mission-oriented since then? Have I lived a life worthy in God’s eyes? What really counted for me? Ano ang mahalaga? Paniniwala? Pag-asa? O kaya pagbibigayan at pagtutulungan? +++ Email: doringklaus@gmail.com or follow me in Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter or visit www. germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot.com or www.klausdoringsclassicalmusic.blogspot.com.

Im-paws-ible to miss: Asia’s biggest dog show comes to Araneta Center The biggest dog show in Asia is coming to the Araneta Center with the staging of the Philippine Circuit at the Smart Araneta Coliseum from January 18 to 21, 2018. Whether you are a dog breeder, a dog trainer, a dog owner or just a casual fan of “man’s best friend”, you will surely find a reason to see this four-day show. Pup-tastic numbers Now on its seventh year, the Philippine Circuit the event attracts close to 600 dogs from all over the world to participate in 12 shows. There will be around 90 different breeds of dogs present according to organizer Philippine Canine Club, Inc. (PCCI), with 19 foreign judges on hand to scrutinize the dogs’ appearance and performance. Best of the best Expect only the “cream of the crop” in the competition, according to Augusto Santos III, President of PCCI. “Those who come from Europe, South America, America, come here to win,” Santos said. The diverse lineup “will introduce (Filipinos) to a whole new world of dog breeds.” These purebred dogs will be competing in 12 shows across those four days, hoping to be named the best of the best. Ticket prices that don’t bite Tickets to the show are free to the public. The audiences get a chance not only to see the dogs strut their stuff during the competition, they also get to interact with a select few at the Coliseum’s lobby.
Dog breeders and dog owners— even the prospective ones—have a chance to get to know more about these outstanding canine breeds by interacting with the owners and trainers present in the competition or by communicating with the PCCI. Doggie tips and tricks The Philippine Circuit also features exciting shows such as the flyball relay and the agility test. In the flyball relay, dogs are made to work together as teams trying to race against each other while retrieving flying balls. The agility test, on the other hand, requires the dogs to jump over hurdles. PCCI, however, makes sure that the dogs remain safe throughout the competition. “All our dogs are vaccinated. The Bureau of Animal Industry sends their own veterinarians to inspect their health certificates. They are vaccinated for all the contagious diseases to the other dogs. And they must also have rabies shots. It’s a must. We make sure no dogs are left in the car. Every dog show is fully air-conditioned,” Santos said. The competition, being held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum for the third straight year, has also seen a transfer of technologies among Filipino breeders and their foreign counterparts. This has enabled Filipinos to develop and train better and even win some of the rounds of the competition. For more information, visit www. ticketnet.com.ph or www.pcci.org.ph.

Demand for motorcycles remain strong because of new business trend
T
he Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association (MDPPA) is confident motorcycle sales will remain strong despite the negative issues affecting the industry, including the rising number of road crashes linked to motorcycle use. The country’s premier group of motorcycle manufacturers, in fact, projects sales will hit 2 million units by 2022 on the back of strong demand. Motorcycles for business use, which posted an 18 percent sales growth last year at 202,098 units compared with 170,979 units in 2016, are expected to continue on an upward trend because of the rising popularity of the cocooning trend. This trend is described as the preference of consumers, in particular millennials, to do activities such as working, entertaining and relaxing at home rather than outside. Anytime, anywhere internet connection is feeding the trend even further, with more people now finding it productive to complete tasks, even shopping, from the comfort of their own homes. This home-focused trend is shaping not just individual behavior but the business
environment as well. Many businesses are modifying their service platform or strategy to adapt to the trend. With online shopping growing traction, more products from food, fashion items to tech gadgets and even medicines and grocery items are ordered over the internet and delivered to customers’ homes. “More people are opting to spend more time at home. If they shop or run an errand, they do so straight from the house. As a result of this ‘in-home-staying’ lifestyle, we see an increasing demand for online shopping and grocery delivery, which then fuels demand for motorcycles as a delivery transport option,” the MDPPA said. As more businesses expand their delivery services, demand for motorcycles is expected to rise further. The MDPPA assures they can meet the growing demand, particularly of small and medium enterprises. According to the MDPPA, its members are ready to take on the production challenges as they already have facilities capable of meeting the needs of a larger market. Aside from being a cost-efficient delivery vehicle, the MDPPA also sees motorcycles as a better transportation
alternative to cars. With the worsening traffic congestion in major cities such as Metro Manila, commuters regard motorcycles as a faster mode of transport that allows them to navigate congested streets and reach their destinations with less time. The passage of the Comprehensive Tax Reform Bill will adjust the excise tax on automobiles and will definitely increase their cost. This, in return, makes motorcycles more affordable than cars.
Personal-use motorcycles are adopted by millennials and skilled workers who view them as the mostpractical and affordable vehicle for getting to their destination faster. These feature sleek and trendy designs that cater to young users besides offering better mobility at a more affordable price. Motorcycles with automatic transmission (AT) are popular among new users because of their ease of use. AT motorcycles, sales of which registered the
biggest growth during the first half of last year, offer convenience and increased functionality. The MDPPA is aware that the growing demand comes with increasing challenges. The group continues to push for road safety and remains firm in collaborating with the government and the general public. Among its programs are the “Helmets Save Lives” campaign and the seminars for riders, elementary pupils and high school students nationwide.
The MDPPA also stays updated about motorcycle road accidents in various parts of the country and sees the urgent need to educate the public more about road safety and ensure riders stay safe when heading home to their family every day. The Association remains steadfast in its goal of educating the public about road safety practices. It will be holding more seminars and training for the riding community and will continue with its lifesaving sticker campaign.
