Miss CDOTC Ruby Year crowned

Norfolk, Va., U.S.A., Cagayan de Oro City’s planned Extension Project could undergo substantial changes if plans for the conversion of

the Lumbia Airport to a U.S. military facility push through under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA).

THE first ever Miss Cagayan de Oro Talent Center Ruby Year was crow ned last Sunday at Gaisano.

There were actually six winners who shared the various entitlements for Miss CDOTC Ruby Year.

The city government aims to establish a new c it y c e nte r u n d e r it s Planned City Expansion (PCE) in 820 hectares of land in Barangay Lumbia, including the 150 hectare Lumbia Airport which is now controlled by the Philippine Air Force.

However, the Lumbia Airport has been identified by the Philippine government as one of five key areas to be converted into a U.S. military facility under the E.D.C.A. If this pushes through, the city may lose additional areas around the Lumbia Airport since U.S. military aviation protocols call for a buffer zone in its landing

and take off approaches where aircraft would most likely crash in case of accidents.

Despite this, Philippine Ambassador to the U.S. Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. last May 21 told Oro delegates to the 1st Adult Exchange Program under the Norfolk-Cagayan de Oro Sister City Agreement to be open to the establishment of the U.S. military facility at Lumbia since it would substantially improve the city’s infrastructure and employment like what happened to the Clark Air Base in Pampanga and the Subic Bay Naval Station in Zambales. extension/PAGE 7

Kagay-anon graduates from Harvard Law School A Kagay-anon earns a master’s degree in law from Harvard University in the US. Kerstin Gorra Vokinger, who traces her roots to Cagayan de Oro by her mother, Marita deCastro Gorra, graduates on May 26, 2016 with a Masters of Law from a prestigious Ivy League university in Boston.

Gorra-Vokinger, 27, describes Harvard University as very competitive but, at the same time, very inspiring. “It gets the best out of people.

I have learned so much not only with regard to my legal understanding but also personally,” she says.

The most difficult part was getting admitted to the premiere university. When accepted, Harvard Law School supports its students immensely in all ways possible. Gorra-Vokinger was impressed by the accessibility of professors regardless of their busy schedules. Students could walk into their offices

at any time to ask questions or discuss their career paths. She found the professors friendly and accessible.

Besides studying law, she works for three professors on a project called “Global Access to Medicines,” seeking ways to make drugs more accessible in developing countries especially for the poor in the Philippines. “I consider this research very dear to me especially that I am a Filipino,” she says.

For those interested to be admitted to Harvard University, Gorra-Vokinger says that hard work and high marks are important. But even if you are not the best student in your class, it does not mean that you won’t be accepted at Harvard. It is important to make yourself and your resume interesting and unique as possible by doing community volunteer work and pro-bono work. She wants stressed that though

that the people in Harvard are not better or happier. “I have never met a friendlier and more generous people than the people in the Philippines.

I am filled with pride to be half-Filipino and represent Philippines at Harvard Law School,” she says.

Gorra-Vokinger is also the editor of the “Harvard Journal of Law and Technology.” Her mother originally came from Ramonal Village, Cagayan de Oro.

Flash redefines the definition of ‘metal’ with new Flash Plus 2 Metal offers a whole new aesthetic appeal to people worldwide. That’s why when Flash announced that the sequel to the record-breaking Flash Plus is coming to the Philippines through its website (http://flash3c. com/ph ), the brand wanted its loyal customers to have a glimpse of how it was able to transcend metal, redefining it to a sleek design that breaks the boundaries between functionality and sophistication.

With its partnership with Lazada Philippines, Flash is making its Flash Plus 2 available to Filipinos starting this May 31, 2016 for only P6, 990.

But on top of its aesthetic design, the new Flash Plus 2 also offers an enriched set of features that include optimum image and immersive sound quality. What’s more, it

“Together, we can bring exciting products closer to Filipinos.”

Fingerprint recognition The innovation of smartphones paves the way for fingerprint recognition, and Flash is not lagging behind when it comes to this new technology. With the fingerprint recognition of the Flash Plus 2, users are assured of optimum security and more convenient phone unlocking process.

Eye-pleasing and handy, the front fingerprint recognition function makes possible instant accurate 3600 unlocking in 0.5s, onestroke APP launch, and file encryption safe, among other functions.

Last Saturday was the birthday party of Mags and John Cue at Pueblo de Oro Golf and Country Club. It was a joint birthday celebration of the lovely couple. It was a fun night attended by their family and friends from Cagayan de Oro and Manila. Their handsome sons Paolo, Patrick and Andre were present as well. Rotary friends, travel buddies of Mags, staffs, friends and MAGS models, of course, were all present.

Love the Hawaiian themed party. Guests were dressed in Hawaiian inspired outfits.

Dancers performed and entertained us with their

Hawaiian Luau Birthday Party of Mags Hawaiian dances. Food was good. MESA catered the food, Mardoney’s Bread Buffet was a hit and Missy Bon Bon’s gelato as well. Drinks were flowing too!

Mags is one the Philippines’ Best Dressed Women and is the Chairman for National Search at Mutya ng Pilipinas. Of course she is the owner of one of my favorite stores, MAGS, which has branches all over the Philippines.

Before she became my friend, I was already a loyal customer of hers.

I remember wearing her dresses and blouses during my European tour. I think those were the times when I really started buying from MAGS. She’s been a part of my life for a very long time already and I am very happy to call her my friend.

I have never told her yet the story about my favorite plain black cardigan that I bought from MAGS way way back. If I remember, it was 2007. It’s my all time

Do You Again Enjoy Floods?

I asked this question already many times in the past. Also at this corner. While writing this piece, I have to admit, that the sun shines and the sky looks so beautiful and blue.

Fact is: our climate changes. Nothing new.

Many people around me squarely blamed the climate change and mentioned El Nino nowadays not only in Region XI in the Philippines. I must confess: the weather really changed. Not only now.

Maybe you consider my headline a little bit sarcastic. Maybe this column may sound like a “curtain lecture”. It might sound as a “love’s labor lost”... “Much ado about nothing”! Really?

As Th. Campbell said in his “Lochiel’s Warning”, “Coming events cast their shadows before”. Of course: NO to f loods! What a crazy question! But prevention is indeed better than cure. Let’s face it, if we don’t try to alter our lifestyle NOW, we may once again face to face with

the disastrous effects of typhoons and heavy rains. Much effort has already been undertaken regarding the issue by our local and national governments in segregate wastes properly. But many of us really don’t seem to learn. We are enthusiastic at the beginning, but we give up halfway. Why can I observe so many garbage at many corners? Why remains indiscriminate dumping one of the causes of f lash f loods?

Most of our drainage systems are also still clogged by wastes of different kinds, rendering them useless.

Guys, try to become “intelligent consumers”, meaning to say: we must be conscious of those products we consume and where they will go after we are done using them.

Natural disasters indeed occur all the time. But they are getting more and worth. it seems we are no more having control over our beloved Mother Nature, which is suffering more and more - because of US! I am still meeting

people shedding tears over the “wrong incoming president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte”. Why? He is indeed opening up old sores and is bringing up old subjects. What’s wrong in agreeing with the EcoWaste Coalition expressing support to presumptive President Duterte’s plan to ban firecrackers and fireworks nationwide?

It’s indeed saving lives and is protecting the environment and the public health from hazardous emissions and wastes.

Yes, it’s indeed high time that the Philippines, a climate hot spot, big goodbye to New Year pollution and mayhem.

I strongly agree that banning firecrackers and fireworks will indeed helping in meeting the objectives of the Clean Air Act, Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, Clean Water Act, Climate Change ACT, Animal Welfare Act and several other environmental and health laws somehow remaining forgotten during the last years.

I am also glad

H ave M y Say

to learn, that the presumptive president is planning to initiate major changes in the economic provisions of the Constitution, including those on foreign business ownership, to attract more investors.

Personally, I do know that several foreign investors are still waiting for “the right moment” to settle down especially in Davao City and whole Mindanao - the many times forgotten part of the Philippines. +++ Email:doringklaus@ gmail.com or follow me in Twitter or Facebook or visit www.germanexpatinthephilippines. blogspot.com or www. klausdoringsclassicalmusic.blogspot.com .

Casiro said. “We need to be competitive particularly in communicating with other people and many countries speak Spanish.”

Casiro also cited that educators, like him, need f inancial support from the government, private entities and the university administration to improve and better equip themselves and their programs, and to build linkages with related institutions.

“This event is relevant and significant, especially to our AB History program, where 15 units are allotted for learning Spanish, as required by the Commission on Higher Education.”

Spanish was, in SY 19501951, a subject included in the last two years of high school but was later removed.

In higher education, it was compulsory, as a language requirement consisting of twelve units, which in 1957, was increased to 24 units. In later years, it was reduced to 18, then to twelve units, until in 1987, it became optional.

Historical and cultural nuances

Language training is considered an imperative not just in the national capita l but a lso in t he prov inces, par ticularly in Mindanao. At Xavier, Spanish, in par ticu lar, is not just a n elect ive course but a requisite for several programs, such as AB Histor y and AB International Studies.

Simon Vergara Gutierrez, an American Field Service (AFS) exchange student from Colombia shared interesting stories, personalities and festivals from his home country.

During his talk, the 16 -y e a r- o l d f o r e i g n student, related similarities between Colombia and the Philippines in terms of climate, culture, values, and religion, among other facets.

Spain colonized Colombia in 1525 until 1819 when Simón Bolivar’s movement defeated the Spanish forces at Boyaca.

Likewise, the Philippines was a colony of Spain until 1898. Spanish influence on Filipino culture, especially i n nat iona l a nd loc a l languages and traditions, persists to this day.

Similar encroachments by real estate developments had in fact long been experienced in and around military facilities in Cagayan de Oro’s sister city of Norfolk, Virginia where local governments have had to invest substantial funds to purchase lands around military air bases as a buffer zone.

Norfolk City has a long history as a strategic military and transportation point. Since Norfolk serves as the commercial and cultural center for the unusual geographical region of Hampton Roads (and in its political structure of independent cities), its economy is integrated into the region pretty much like its sister city of Cagayan de Oro in Northern Mindanao region.

Hampton Roads is a major military center, especially for the U.S Navy along with one of NATO’s two Strategic Command headquarters. It serves as the home for Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval installation, which supports naval forces in the United States Fleet Forces Command which operates in the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean.

NS Norfolk is the world’s largest naval station, supporting 75 ships and 134 aircraft alongside 14 piers and 11 aircraft hangars, and houses the largest concentration of U.S. Navy forces.

Port Services controls more than 3,100 ships’ movements annually as they arrive and depart their berths.

Air Operations conducts over 100,000 flight operations each year, an average of 275 flights per day or one every six minutes.

Over 150,000 passengers and 264,000 tons of mail and cargo depart annually on Air Mobility Command (AMC) aircraft and other AMC-chartered flights from the airfield’s AMC Terminal.

Before this Court is a verified petition filed by ELENO B. DAIPAN of Purok 2 Pahindong, Medina, Misamis Oriental, born at Talisyan, Misamis Oriental to Luis D. Daipan (father) and Feliza M. Baliling (mother), seeking the correct an erroneous entry in this Certificate of Live Birth, that is, his Birth Year from 1967 to 1961.

At the expense of petitioner ELENO BALILANG DAIPAN, let a copy of this Order be – • Posted at the (1) Bulletin Board of Pahindong, Medina, Misamis Oriental, (2) Bulletin Board of the Municipal Hall of Talisayan, Misamis Oriental and (3) Bulletin Board of this Court.

• Published, once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks, in Cagayan de Oro Times, Tan Leh Bldg., Abellanosa Sts., Consolacion, Cagayan de Oro City, the Court’s duly accredited newspaper of general circulation in the Province of Misamis Oriental.

The Local Civil Registrar of Talisayan, Misamis Oriental, Sp. Proc. Case No. 330-M, Correction of Entry-Birth Certificate, ORDER, 05/16/16..2/2 Or any interested person claiming interest on the entry sought to be corrected may file opposition within fifteen (15) days from notice of the petition or from the last date of publication of such notice.

Lastly, the Court grants the request of petitioner ELENO B. DAIPAN. He is allowed to litigate his petition as a pauper-litigant, hence, is exempt from payment of docket and other legal fees and be charged at cost only on the required publication.

So ordered.

The region also plays an important role in defense contracting, with particular emphasis in the shipbuilding and ship repair businesses for the city of Norfolk. Major private shipyards located in Norfolk or the Hampton Roads area include: Huntington Ingalls Industries (formerly Northrop Grumman Newport News) in Newport News, BAE Systems Norfolk Ship Repair, General Dynamics NASSCO Norfolk, and Colonna’s Shipyard Inc., while the US Navy’s Norfolk Naval Shipyard is just across the Downtown Tunnel in Portsmouth.

Most contracts fulfilled by these shipyards are issued by the Navy, though some private commercial repair also takes place. Over 35% of Gross Regional Product (which includes the entire Norfolk-Newport News-Virginia Beach MSA), is attributable to defense spending, and that 75% of all regional growth since 2001 is attributable to increases in defense spending.

(ODU, 2004).

The parallel encroachment issues facing Norfolk and Cagayan de Oro were noted by this writer during a peer visit to The Virginian Pilot, the only daily newspaper in the Hampton Metropolis area, as part of the 1st Adult Exchange Program under the Cagayan de OroNorfolk Sister City Agreement.

The newspaper has a specific section which covers news from the significant military presence in the metropolis.

In the latest incident reported by the Virginian Pilot, Norfolk City had to spend US$24,000 to relocate a banquet hall in Ocean View which the city council earlier approved over the objections of the U.S. Navy since it was in a part of the city where planes taking off from and landing at Norfolk Naval Station were most likely to crash if something went wrong.

the same issue encountered by nearby Virginia Beach which had approved housing developments and businesses protested by the US Navy since these were under the flight paths of fighter jets from Oceana Naval Air Station.

From 1975 to mid-2004, the City Council ignored Navy pleas in nearly three out of every four votes.

But when the Navy prepared to move Oceana to Florida due to increasing encroachment in 2005, Virginia Beach amended its zoning ordinances and spent $129 million to buy 2,347 acres near Oceana. The efforts were hailed as a national model, and last year the city declared the program a success that helped save one of the region’s economic engines.

Similar efforts have been made in Chesapeake near Fentress Naval Auxiliary Landing Field, where city officials have spent $3.8 million buying 106 acres since 2014. The city also has started backing off when the Navy complains about permitting new developments near the airfield where fighter jets simulate landing on an aircraft carrier.

Hampton has spent $3.7 million since 2013 buying 17 properties near Langley Air Force Base.

One of the main reasons the Lumbia Airport was moved to Laguindingan was due to increasing encroachment by residential housing projects on the approach and departure flight paths of aircraft using the airport. It would be interesting to see if the local government would be willing to exercise its prerogative to establish a buffer zone around Lumbia Airport at its expense, like what its sister city of Norfolk and its nearby cities did to accommodate the US Navy.
