Ayala Malls’ Christmas Mall Tour 2015

Get Ready to Stomp your feet!

FRANKLY SPEAKING & Steps Dance Project A yala Malls aims to bring its shoppers closer to culture and arts, by continuously bringing installations, exhibits, song and dance programs to its malls and making it more accessible to the public. The Ayala Malls Christmas Concert has been a much-awaited yearly spectacle and has staged different musical productions over the years, but this will be the first to highlight tap dancing.

Just as it did some time ago with Pepe’s Secret Christmas, Ayala Malls’ Christmas Mall Tour 2015 will share with lucky shoppers in

its provincial malls a literally jazzed up version of that favorite. Inspired by the timeless jazz hits of the late Frank Sinatra,

James Laforteza

“Frankly Speaking” will feature international tap-dance artist Omar Edwards and the STEPS Dance Project. It is headed by Steps Dance Studio and Steps Dance Project founder and director Sofia ZobelElizalde, directed by James Laforteza, and choreographed by Jeffrey Espejo, James Laforteza, Jun Saagundo, Xernan Alfonso and Omar Edwards. In 1994, Omar earned national acclaim when he and partner Daniel B. Wooten Jr. won 13 times including the grand prize on the famed T.V. show “Star Search”. This year’s provincial tour will swing through the Harbor Point Mall in Subic (Fri, Nov 13 @ 6pm), MarQuee Mall, Angeles City (Sat, Nov 14 @ 6pm), Centrio Mall, Cagayan De Oro City (Fri, Nov 20 @ 6pm) before winding up at the Abreeza Mall, Davao City ( Sun, Nov 22 2) 6pm.

The Night Stalker:

Missy Bon Bon opens Frozen Factory at Centrio C agayan de Oro’s favorite gelato place has re-invented itself yet again with a new outlet called Frozen Factory right next to the Centrio Mall Cinemas at the 3rd floor. Christened “Frozen Factory” we checked out the place within an hour of its opening last 10 October 2015, and already a sizable crowd was gathering. There’s magic in the Missy Bon Bon name! “We wanted something new, yet again,” says Doy Yu, Missy Bon Bon president. “Constantly innovating and introducing something new and fresh to the people is one of the best fun parts of doing business!” Something new indeed! Missy Bon Bon

Frozen Factory’s menu is replete with parfaits, sundaes and crepes, all done in a whimsical and flamboyant fashion reminiscent of its American ‘50s diner ice cream parlor vibe. “Not only are we introducing, or rather reacquainting people with sundaes but also, letting them have a bite of something new,” said Anne Yu, MBB operations head. “Our sundaes and desserts are chock-full of sinful treats like brownies, salted caramel, apple streusel, jellies, and marshmallows. You name it, we have it!” Missy Bon Bon started small as a simple kiosk at a local mall, introducing Kagay-anons to gelato, a

healthier, yet no less tastier alternative to ice cream. “Gelato has zero air because it is churned to a rich and creamy finish,” said Chef Cathy Genabe, who’s charged with the MBB commissary.” It also has more milk and less fat, making it more affluent with calcium with an intense, natural flavor in every serving.” MBB has since expanded to a full dining establishment with an al fresco dining area at the

Limketkai Center. Its expanded menu offers an extensive line of fresh breads and pastries with zero preservatives, home-style cooked meals, cakes (which a customer can fully customize), pasta, sandwiches and more. Ranked 9th of 140 restaurants in Cagayan de Oro and 10th of Places to Eat in the city, Miss Bon Bon has earned a Certificate of Excellence from online travel review site Trip Advisor. Frozen Factory

Directed by Step’s Project Manager James Laforteza, Frankly Speaking was conceived in 2007 by lifetime Sinatra fan James, after he was inspired by Twyla Tharp’s “Sinatra Suite” which featured Mikhail Baryshnikov and Elaine Kudo which his wife (then girlfriend) Liesl showed to him. “It was the most beautiful dance piece I have ever seen! Being a Frank Sinatra fan, I got hypnotized! I whispered to myself: “Hey! You should make your very own Sinatra suite one of these days, with

really good dancers.” Well waddaya know? My own Sinatra suite was born and this all happened at Steps. That was in 2007.” “I have always loved Frank Sinatra’s unique and soothing voice. I love his classic standards and his dancy big band swing tunes. Most of all, it brings back childhood memories of my mother playing her records and little me singing and hopping along.” “I feel very fortunate that I can again share this wonderful experience with you in this Christmas offering. With full support of our school’s director, Ms

Double Sundae

has retained all that, but offers an expanded culinary experience that aims to further explore the further reaches of all senses. For instance, guests can also try their specially seasoned prawn crackers which offer a surprising counterpoint to the sweetness of the gelato with its crispy salty peppery flavor. “It’s not just gelato with your typical toppings of fruit and cream. Best of all, the serving is always generous

and reasonably priced” adds Chef Cathy. As members of the pioneer class of the Center for Culinary Arts in Manila, Doy, Anne and Cathy introduced the first truly intercontinental menu to Cagayan de Oro when they founded Bigby’s Café in 1998. With the advent of Frozen Factory, it’s nice to know the trio hasn’t lost their touch to innovate dishes which continue to delight Kagayanons 17 years down the road.

IMPACT OF THE ACTIVITY FOR THE EMPLOYEES:

FOR THE CTECS:

The activity has generally “sharpen the saw” of the employees in terms of the following dimensions: Physical- allows the employees to leave the pressures of the office, manage the stressors and recharge physically. Mental- during the benchmarking, the employees were able to execute planning by visualizing the best practices observed in order to replicate in own organization. Social- engaging the CTECs and TESDA colleagues / counterpart enhanced the relationships. Likewise, the employees have appreciated the strong collaboration of TESDA with the LGU. Worth mentioning is the respect and support of the LGU to TESDA is extraordinary.

There is a strong collaboration of the Industry, LGU and TESDA which can be observed in the following: Strong support of LGUs in the implementation of TBCTP Engagement of TESDA Training in the Tourism Industry, ex. Workers in tourist spots are TVET graduates TESDA is involved in the peace process by capacitating the people through TVET interventions The LGUs of CARAGA Region are warmth and hospitable. The Local Chief Executives , from the Mayor to the Governor spare some time to meet the participants. The CTECs are challenged on how to replicate these good practices in respective LGU.

Admissions, OPD up in 8 provincial hospitals November 13-20, 2015

Patient admissions increased 23 percent while out patients department increased by 61 percent in eight (8) Misamis Oriental hospitals, from the first day of the year to date, the province’s Hospital Operation and Management System (HOMS) reported , Monday.

HOMS managers said several factors contributed to the increase particularly the heightened confidence level of residents on the provincial hospital system. “Our people now are aware that whenever they go to our eight (8) provincial hospitals they arfe assured

that one, there are doctors and trained staff to attend to them; two, there are available drugs and medicines in our pharmacies; and third, there is a zero-billing-zero-pay policy implemented by Gov. Emano,” Dr. Bebina Casino, provincial health officer said. Another factor

is the change of attitude towards health in general brought about by the information22,053 and education campaigns conducted by the Misamis Oriental Care System (MisOrCareS). Per periodic review, Dr. Casino reported a drastic

change of attitude among front line health workers, particularly in dealing with patients. “They got the message of the Governor when earlier he suspended several health workers who got negative reports from our clients. Now they are more careful and courteous,” Dr. Casino added. The HOMS has also established a system wherein lack of much needed medicines and drugs are easily monitored. “This allows us to respond immediately and deliver these items within the shortest possible time,” Dr. Casino said. She said that the wide acceptance of the MisOrCareS program of Gov. Emano has made the hospital system changed its focus to the out-patient department. “You can feel the confidence of people when they

come to our OPD, because it is for sure that they can bring home their needed medication without so much trouble,” Dr. Casino said. From the start of the year to date, the provincial hospital of Gingoog has 5,148 admissions and 25 thousand OPD. The provincial hospital of Balingasag has 4,633 admissions and 16,550 OPD; that of Manticao has 3,094 admissions while OPD has 24,957 OPD; while the provincial hospital of Initao has 2,946 admissions and 22,053 OPD. The provincial hospital of Claveria has 3,425 admission and 19,957 OPD; while that of Alubijid has 2,099 admissions and 17,774 OPD and Magsaysay has 1,795 admissions and 16, 578 OPD. While it appears that the Magsaysay hospital has the least admissions, it registers the highest percentage of increase. (PIO/MisOr/ ninja)

Facebook - boon or ban? I have asked this question already many times in several columns. Right at this moment, another case from my home country Germany is in the news. “Facebook must ban abusive content” , says German Justice Minister Maas. And he is so very right. Heiko Maas wants Facebook to better enforce its community standards to rein in abusive users. Given the recent rise in anti-migrant and xenophobic posts, he has called for a meeting with Facebook’s European managers. In an open letter seen by German daily “Tagesspiegel,” which he links to on his Twitter account, Maas tells Facebook that “we need to talk.” In the letter, which he sent to Facebook’s European head office in Dublin as well as to its German subsidiary, he says the social media site’s community standards needed to be more efficient and transparent.

In the wake of the recent openly xenophobic and hateful attacks on and protests at refugee camps in Germany , Maas said that the Justice Ministry had received many complaints about abusive content not being banned on Facebook. Often, users get a message saying that the posts they reported did not violate Facebook’s community standards without giving any further explanation “even in very obvious cases,” according to Maas. Since most of us are in Facebook, I am sure, everybody got such messages after reporting something. Maas also says this standard response had become a “farce” and that users were struggling to understand why Facebook is quick to ban nudity, for example, referring to its community standards, but often fails to ban xenophobic and racist posts. The implementation

of its community standards, Maas says in his letter, “can apparently not be relied on, even though many posts contain comments that constitute the criminal offense of incitement to hatred.” He reminds Facebook that it is legally obliged to delete illegal posts. Maas emphasizes that his demands do not go against freedom of speech. “But the Internet is not a lawless space where racist abuse and illegal posts can be allowed to flourish.” He stressed that there can be no “misunderstood tolerance,” and that Facebook urgently needed to enforce its existing rules and assess whether further measures are needed. In recent months, Germany has seen tens of thousands of refugees and migrants arrive at its borders, with many communities struggling to provide adequate care and shelter. There have been persistent protests and attacks from far-right groups, often coordinated on

H ave M y Say

sites such as Facebook. The attacks drew widespread criticism from polticians, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel calling the incidents “despicable and shameful.” And here we are: in response to Maas’ letter, a spokeswoman for Facebook said they were taking the justice minister’s position seriously, but did not confirm that they would meet with him. I am speechless. And many others too ... ! +++ Email: doringklaus@ gmail.com or follow me in Facebook (!) or Twitter or visit www.germanexpatinthephilippines. blogspot.com or www. klausdoringsclassicalmusic.blogspot.com .
