DAVAO City––Ten Years. Still no justice.

Family, friends and colleagues joined photojournalist Rene Lumawag in lighting candles at the the grave of photojournalist son Gene Boyd Lumawag late Wednesday afternoon, November 12, at the San Pedro Memorial Park, on the anniversary of his killing 10 years ago in Jolo, Sulu.

Justice has remained elusive even as in the records of the police and Task Force Newsman, Gene Boyd’s case had been stamped “solved” as a case had been filed against the

suspects – the Sailani brothers – Iting and Omar, days after the killing.

The brothers were initially reported at large, one of them later reported killed but “resurrected” after the reward money for their capture was increased to P6 million and killed again.

Gene Boyd, MindaNews’Photo Editor, was gunned down in Jolo, Sulu on November 12, 2004, while taking photographs of the sunset at the pier. He was to celebrate his 27th birthday on December 14 that year.

The military and police in Sulu

claimed Gene Boyd was killed by members of the “Urban Terrorist Group” of the Abu Sayyaf.

Five days after the killing, the police filed a complaint of murder against the brothers and the following month, the prosecutor’s office charged the brothers in court.

Task Force Newsman, the body tasked to look into the killing of journalists, immediately stamped Gene Boyd’s case as “solved” because “it is now in the courts.”

Mindanao groups will bring ‘fight’ to Manila

AVAO City - Saying that their grievances were “unheard and neglected” by the national government, some 300 indigenous people, peasants, environment advocates and human rights group traveled to Manila in an activity dubbed “Manilakbayan.”

The Mindanao group will also join the Typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) victims in Visayas, participants from Bicol and Southern Luzon before proceeding to mount a “Kampohan sa Kahiusahan sa Katawhan sa Mindanao” in Manila.

“The Aquino government is deaf to our plight, so

we will struggle more as our problems could not wait for another more two years for the next president to listen to us,” Said Datu Doloman Dawsay, a Lumad (indig-

enous peoples of Mindanao) leader.

Dawsay, head of the Salugpungan ‘Ta Tanu Igkanugon (Unite to Defend the Ancestral Land) or-

ganization of Manobos in Talaingod, Davao del Norte was one of those who evacuated to Davao City earlier this year with a thousand others in the wake of intense military operations in their ancestral areas.

In a dialogue mediated

by Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and Davao del Norte Governor Rodolfo del Rosario with top officers of the AFP’s Eastern Mindanao Command of the Philippines, Salagpungan only agreed to return to their lands if troops from their communities were pulled-out.

“The Army pulled-out only to return later after a HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS - Advocates act a stage few months,” said Dawsay. play of a woman victimized by trafficking at a mall in Davao “They still occupied City.

Aquino government’s Oplan Bayanihan (operation plan Bayanihan).”

A briefer of the 10-day “Manilakbayan” said 55 combat battalions of the Armed Forces of the Philippines are in Mindanao and whose operations “have resulted in a spate of violations against International Humanitarian Law and other human rights conventions.”

“There are already more than twelve incidents of forcible evacuation of 39 Lumad communities in Mindanao in 2014 alone, affecting more than 1,112 families with over 4, 375 women, men and children,” said the paper.

Organizers of the Davao Region contingent say the Mindanao theme is “Food and Peace for MindaNOW!” Environmentalist group Pan a l ip d an ! ( D e fe n d ) Mindanao said that it is always “communities resisting heightening incursions by large-scale mining and big agribusiness ventures” who are under attack.

Panalipdan noted the increased interest of companies in the recent Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines (BIMP) – East Asean Growth Area (EAGA) especially in expanding banana and palm oil plantations.

Davao launches Ebola info drive

DAVAO City - Mayor Rodrigo Duterte of Davao City has ordered an intensified campaign about the Ebola in an effort to educate the public about the deadly virus, state media said on Tuesday.

It said Duterte ordered the distribution of pamphlets to enable residents to take precaution and learn more about the virus that has killed thousands of people in Africa.

“It is important that the people must avoid getting in contact with individuals afflicted with the virus,” the Philippine Information Agency quoted Duterte as saying.

It said Duterte reminded citizens to always wash hands and to avoid rubbing their eyes, nose and mouth which are the entry points of the virus to the body. He also ordered the purchase of temperature scanners which will be installed in government hospitals here.

He said the local government has provided ambulance personnel with gear that includes an impervious gown, goggles, mask, head cover, gloves and booties to protect them from the Ebola virus.

Vicious Cycle in Politics and Economics HEARED from the local Bankers during our Rotary Club meeting in Davao City that there were few qualified commercial and rural banks this year that availed of the Peso rediscounting loans from the Central Bank. The same with the USD and Japanese Yen rediscount facilities that could have been extended to the universal banks issuing letter of credits to foreign financial institutions to pay for our imports. The news if interpreted in the banking community simply means that year 2014 the Philippines have so much liquidity in the financial system that were mope out by the banks.

Accordingly, rediscounting went down 94 percent compared to the previous year. Were there excess money that are now in the vaults of our local banks that they may not go to the Central Bank anymore to beef up their capital? The banking system could be a washed with huge deposits?

Coincidentally, this is the year that funds from the famous Development Assistant Program or DAP which comes from alleged

Traversing the Tourism Hi-way

Ped T. Quiamjot savings were re-aligned to the office of the President.

This is also the same year that many foreign government and humanitarian association’s pledges of financial assistance to the people of the Philippines hit by Haiyan or Typhoon Yolanda were extended.

Seems there is so much money in the reserves of the Central Bank of the Philippines and the Philippine banking sector could be hording huge deposits amounting to billions of dollars. Who are the beholden of these accounts? Of course the public may not know due to the bank secrecy law.

But we are certain that many high profile officials will go to jail after 2016.

This is a vicious cycle of fate among people who were once powerful.

Relatively, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) this year went up by 59 percent to USD 4.306 Billion from USD 2.709 Billion last year.

The increase can be easily explained as “growing investors’ confidence in the Philippines”. Fitch Ratings and Moody upgrades of our credit ratings in the 2nd and 3rd quarter this year were just completed with favorable results. This explains why we are seeing now new hotels, fabulous Resort with Casinos and high rise modern condominium buildings not only in Metro Manila or at the Global City but also in Cebu, Cagayan de Oro and Davao City which has 29 high rise structures alone built simultaneously

by Filipino conglomerates with foreign partners.

These developments are carefully evaluated by economic experts as a boom in the property industry which has a growing demand from families of Filipino professionals who are now benefiting from a steady income growth at the rate perhaps of 7 percent per annum. The OFWs foreign remittances to their relatives make up also the rest of the market

demand.

The US and the European economies are expected to grow by 10 percent to 13 percent next year through their savings from efficient fuel and oil consumption as well as improvement of their macroeconomics with the removal of many subsidies in their vital industries.

Travel from these countries is expected to grow.

And with new development in the Philippines and China relations which was discussed during the APEC meeting between President Aquino and Chinese Premier Li Jhing, tension will ease in the western Philippine Seas and travel of Chinese tourist to the Philippines may improve from the all-time low arrivals since 2013.

The Philippines is within the sphere of the 25 Million Chinese tourist who travels annually to the different tourist destination of the world.

Chinese tourist demand are anchored on tours, food and shopping. We have the infrastructure that are now built and the expertise to address their needs.

Marcos: BBL should ensure welfare of ARMM employees Zamboanga del Norte | Zamboanga del Sur | Zamboanga Sibugay | Dipolog City | Dapitan City | Pagadian City | Isabela City | Zamboanga City

Z

AMBOANGA City The Bangsamoro Basic Law should ensure that thousands of employees of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) will not be displaced once the Bangsamoro entity replaces the current regional government Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said.

Marcos said the ARMM

employs around 36,000 people, and they fear losing their jobs as “collateral damage” once the ARMM is abolished and replaced by the Bangsamoro.

“One of the concerns raised in all the places we go to conduct hearings (on the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law) is the worry of the employees as to what

will happen to them since ARMM will be abolished,” Marcos said in a press conference here.

He said the same concern surfaced during the public hearing on the BBL Tuesday in Tawi-Tawi.

Marcos heads the Senate public hearings on the proposed BBL as chair of the Senate committee on local

government.

“I think we can strengthen the language (of the BBL) so that the guarantees are made explicit. We need not re-state the guarantees as laid out in the Civil Service Code but we can probably say that the guarantees on tenure, pay grade, etc. are maintained in this reorganization,” he said.

Misamis Occidental CARP beneficiaries receive land titles

Oroquieta City - A total of 1,469 agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) from the 14 municipalities and 3 cities of Misamis Occidental had finally received the titles to the land they till. About 755 Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) were distributed to them covering a total area of 1,382 hectares.

The CLOA distribution was done on the occasion of the 85th Provincial Anniversary Celebration of Misamis Occidental and the “5th Pas’ungko S’g Mis Occ Festival”, an annual celebration of thanksgiving for bountiful harvest held every month of November.

The joint celebration was held on Nov. 6, 2014 at the Misamis Occidental Provincial Capitol in Oroquieta City.

The event dubbed as “Agri-Aqua Day” is a joint LGU-DAR-DA-DENR activity attended by the provincial officials headed by Governor Herminia M. Ramiro, Vice-Governor Virginia Aurora M. Almonte, Municipal Mayors, DA and DENR regional and provincial officials and employees, farmers organizations, agrarian reform beneficiaries and employees of DAR Misamis Occidental who came in full force.

DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Jose Grageda represented DAR Sec. Virgilio de los Reyes during the occasion.

In his speech, USec. Grageda encouraged the ARBs to make their land more productive and reminded them of their obligations as the new owner of the land. He however stressed that land distribution is not enough and added that support services should also be provided.

He hinted that land

distribution in Misamis Occidental is nearing completion and agrarian reform beneficiaries should get organized and build strong organizations.

USec. Grageda further informed that government support services are mostly channeled to agrarian reform beneficiaries organizations (ARBOs) and usually those who have availed of these services are the stronger ARBOs. During the same occasion, he likewise acknowledged

Blast hits Lamitan City

Lamitan City, Basilan Province - A grenade explosion hit a copra warehouse late Wednesday in this city in the troubled Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, security officials said.

Marine Captain Maria Rowena Muyuela, a military spokeswoman, said the grenade was lobbed at the warehouse owned by businessman Efren New. She said there were no reports of casualties from the attack which occurred at around 7 in the evening at Quezon Boulevard.

“The grenade was thrown from the outside and there is no report of casualties. The investigation is going on to determine the motive and the perpetrator of this dastardly act,” Muyuela told the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner.

No individual or group claimed responsibility for the attack, but authorities suspect the Abu Sayyaf could be behind this. In September, two men on a motorcycle also lobbed a grenade inside the warehouse owned by another trader, Bobong Yumul, in Lamitan City.

The blast occurred two days after police and military disarmed an improvised explosive left at a gas station in Basilan’s Isabela City.

Inspector Dahlan Samuddin, a regional police spokesman, said two masked men on a motorcycle left a plastic bag containing the explosive at the ASL gasoline station.

Publication Notice R.A. 10172

He said the explosive, whose ingredient was mostly ammonium nitrate, and wired to a blasting cap and cell phone as triggering device, was inside a cooking pot when recovered by members of the local bomb squad.

Authorities have foiled several bombing attempts in Isabela City with one police report saying the bombers escaped on a pick-up truck, raising suspicions that a group may be trying to destabilize the security situation in Basilan for a still unknown reason.

Charges filed vs suspect in Bukidnon bus bombing Bukidnon • Camiguin • Lanao del Norte • Lanao del Sur • Misamis Occidental • Misamis Oriental

M A L AY B A L AY City––Police have filed charges against a suspect in the bombing of a passenger bus last week in Maramag town in Bukidnon.

Four passengers were injured when an improvised explosive device went off inside bus number 204 of Rural Transit in Mindanao, Inc. on November 6 in Barangay Dologon, Maramag.

In an interview on dxDBMalaybalay Thursday, Insp.

Jiselle Longakit, spokesperson of the Bukidnon Provincial Police Office, identified the suspect as Dawting Dindang.

Longakit said Dindang is an active member of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters.

She said a description by a witness fitted Dindang’s facial features.

She added police have posted the suspect’s photos in public places, although the warrant for his arrest was yet to be issued.

Longakit said the explosive was fashioned out of a 60mm mortar rocket with a cellular phone as triggering device.

She said police have assigned marshals to buses plying the route from Maramg to Damulog, the southernmost town of Bukidnon bordering Carmen town in North Cotabato.

The ill-fated bus had come from Tacurong City bound for Cagayan de Oro City.

GINGOOG City––Having the sincere dedication to serve as an elected chief executive, Mayor Marie Guingona has implemented the allocated budget worth P6,650,820 from last year’s approved 20-percent development fund for the materialization of social development programs such as centers for health and senior citizens, potable water systems, multi-purpose facilities and completion for barangay electrification.

Guingona said: “These tangible projects give comfort to our clients who seek medical needs from our barangay health stations being managed and cared by our nurses and midwives.”

Bank remains stable Majority owner refuses help for troubled SRBC

SURIGAO City––Manilabased businessmen had offered help to save the Surigaonon Rural Banking Corporation (SRBC) from possible bankruptcy after it was hit by a withdrawal frenzy since last month, bank majority owner Alfredo Bonpin said on Thursday.

But Bonpin said he refused help from his friends as the bank has become stable after he infused at least P60 million from his own funds to offset the mass withdrawals. He said

he would add P20 million within the month.

Mass withdrawals have hit the 14-year old SRBC here since last month after rumors spread it was going bankrupt.

“Yes, it’s true that they are willing to help me. In fact, I got several calls and mobile text messages from my close friends that they want to extend their financial support if I needed,” Bonpin said.

The banker said one of them is long-time friend

Ramon Mijares, a businessman who also hails from Surigao City.

“I thanked them but right now I still have financial sources,” he said.

Aside from SRBC of which he is the majority owner, Bonpin is also the major stockholder of other financial institutions like Frontier Bank in Cebu, Evergreen Lending Corp., and Rural Bank of Loreto.

‘More profits’ Bonpin told reporters on Tuesday that his bank’s

if certificates of deposits were drawn sooner.”

But the same source warned that what happened is damaging to the bank’s performance in the long run. “Interests are very low.

Unless, he made good use and have a large borrower base who pays him high interests. But now, he has no money to loan out.”

Bonpin admitted that panic withdrawals have hit SRBC since last month.

Several depositors were still worried if they could still get their money back.

MindaNews went inside the bank Thursday and saw some clients who look distraught and in disbelief.

One even shed tears.

Bonpin said the bank will be releasing P1,000 to 10,000 depending on the cash returns they have. “ Their (dep ositors) money had been loaned

out but they can get it back in time,” he assured.

He said the clients should not worry so much.

He reiterated an earlier statement that his bank was stable and has not has not been put under the receivership of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.

SRBC was established in 1998 and to date it has several branches in the cities of Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Butuan, Cabadbaran, Tacloban and Cebu.

Bonpin confirmed that the bank has lost millions of pesos in their accounts but would not divulge the actual amount.

He alleged that some of the people he trusted “stole” money from the bank.

“We are still conducting an audit to the bank,” he said. (Roel N. Catoto/ MindaNews)

financial problem was now over after he infused P60 million.

“I definitely get more profits in this because those time deposits that were already withdrawn could not get their interests for failing to reach the maturity period,” he said.

Bonpin called the mass withdrawals a blessing in disguise. “I gain more profits in this way,” he said with a smile. SRBC offers a time deposit scheme in which P380,000 pesos can earn get P1,000,000 after 11 years and one day.

“Yes we have that. In fact that is just too low compared to other banks who offer double your money. I can make profits of it,” he said.

A former bank manager who is now based in the U.S. agreed to what Bonpin said.

“Yes, precisely because he did not have to give interest

Wycoco, then director of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), promised the Lumawag family and MindaNews that his office would conduct a “parallel investigation,” a promise that he renewed when followed up but which went unfulfilled. Wycoco suffered a massive stroke and died in late December 2005.

Sometime in October 2005, MindaNews and the Lumawag family were told by a reliable source in Sulu that a military intelligence agent, acting on poor intelligence work, killed GeneBoyd. A reinvestigation was sought.

On November 9, 2005, then National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales promised Gene Boyd’s father, photojournalist Rene Lumawag, in front of other journalists in Davao City, that he would order a fresh probe into Gene Boyd’s case.

On December 10, 2005, Rene and MindaNews sent Gonzales a follow up letter.

No action was taken by the NSC. On September 4, 2006, MindaNews reminded Gonzales about the reinvestigation, Gonzales said he had given two orders already but neither the Lumawags nor MindaNews received copies of the orders.

On November 29, 2006, MindaNews reminded Gonzales about his promise a year earlier. Again, he promised he would look into it.

On January 12, 2007, MindaNews wrote Gonzales another reminder.

On the same day, MindaNews also wrote ARMM police chief Joel Goltiao for a follow-up on Gene Boyd’s case.

On February 23, 2007, NSC deputy director-general Milo Ibrado, Jr., writing for Gonzales, referred MindaNews’ request to Gen. Cesar Garcia, Jr., Director General of the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA).

The NICA report said Gene Boyd was killed by the Sailani brothers.

Goltiao in a letter on March 23, 2007 said “the investigators believe that he

(Gene Boyd) was suspected as a military intelligence agent and the identified suspects, Iting Sailani and Omar Sailani were known to be members of the ASG/ UTG in Sulu Province and not as Intelligence Agents of the military.”

Goltiao said Iting Sailani was killed on August 12, 2006 when the police discovered the safehouse of Sailani and company in Zone III, Tulay, Jolo, Sulu. A joint police-military team went to the place and engaged the suspects in a “firefight that lasted for an hour which resulted in the killing of Iting Sailani and three other unidentified persons.” A policeman was killed and five from the government forces were injured.

“The other surviving suspect, Omar Sailani, is included in the watch list and still subject for manhunt,” Goltiao wrote.

But in early June 2007, barely three months after Goltiao’s letter, Senior Superintendent Angelito Casimiro, then chief of the Western Mindanao Regional Police-Intelligence Division, announced in Zamboanga City that the reward money for the capture of the Sailani brothers had been raised to P3 million each, from a measly hundred thousand pesos each when Gene Boyd was killed in November 2004.

Iting Sailani, killed on August 12, 2006, according to the March 2007 letter of Goltiao, was, in Casimiro’s June 2007 announcement, “alive” with the reward money even raised to P3 million from P100,000 in November 2004.

Casimiro said the two brothers were classified as high profile criminals with the offer of P3 million reward each for information leading to their arrest. He said the brothers had topped the reward list of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) for their alleged involvement, among others, in an October 2006 operation that led to the death of 11 persons.

On June 21, 2007, two weeks after the announcement on the raising of reward money, the brothers

were reported to have been killed in Basilan. There is no information on who claimed the P6 million reward money. (MindaNews)

Retiquez said that the family reported that Abecia died shortly after the fire authorities declared the area “fire out” and left the fire scene.

Fire investigators who responded to the fire scene in Macabalan said that the fire razed only two or three houses with damaged estimated at about P 450,000.

There were no report of casualty or injury.

Retiquez said that the neighborhood narrated that Abecia help in putting off the fire by pulling and training the fire hose toward the houses on fire.

“Abecia reportedly suffered shortness of breath while resting and suddenly suffered some kind of heart attack,” Retiquez said during an appeal aired over a local radio station here Thursday.

He said that the family of Abecia could hardly meet both ends and is appealing for help considering that the wife of the victim is also a person with disability.

Retiquez said that the donors could proceed to the parish church of Macabalan or directly to the bereaved family of Abecia.

“I believed that, as neighbors, it is our responsibility to help and assist our neighbors in times of dire needs,” Retiquez said.

The PCGG, he recalled, was set up in 1986 by the then Revolutionary Government of President Corazon C. Aquino to undertake, among others, the recovery of the alleged ill-gotten wealth of ousted President Ferdinand E. Marcos and his associates, the proceeds of which were principally meant to support the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP).

However, the party-list lawmaker assessed that after more than two decades of operations, the PCGG has had less than exemplary record as far as implementation of its mandate is concerned as evidenced by charges lodged against its officials and agents by various parties for “unlawful, abusive and unprofessional acts” including unaccounted assets and funds and the unwarranted disposition of such assets instead of their proper recovery and enhancement as provided for in its original mandate.

HR 1599 also noted that the PCGG has been taken to task for “negligence in the accounting of monies spent for its recovery operations in various jurisdictions including but not limited to payments made to lawyers, accountants and other ‘consultants’ in Switzerland, the United States and Singapore, among others.”

De la Cruz said that the PCGG has been under fire from its own partners in the said recovery effort, the latest being from a certain Robert Swift who claims to represent ‘human rights abuse victims’ during the martial law years.

According to the lawmaker, Mr. Swift assailed the PCGG for ‘grandstanding’ for its ‘precipitate and irregular action’ in claiming a number of paintings it alleged to be in the possession of former First Lady and now Ilocos Norte Representative Imelda Romualdez Marcos which, he asserted “...were never government property...”

“Mr. Swift intimated that the PCGG has in fact lost any claim on the said paintings, if at all, as it never ‘... filed any case for forfeiture of the said items...’,” De la Cruz added.

HR 1599 also cited an advice aired years ago by PCGG Chairman Andres Bautista that the agency should already wind down its activities and turn over its functions to other institutions chartered by law to do essentially the ‘ad hoc’ functions it has been undertaking for more than two decades of its existence.

“It is now necessary to bring the agency and its officials to task to stem the

rising claims of irregular and anomalous undertakings to ensure that its original mandate is carried out and its operations cleaned up in preparation for the turn over of its function to other agencies as contemplated earlier,” De la Cruz concluded.

Major leadership forms: In a classroom setting

By Romelyn D. Ventures Pedro B. Liwanag Memorial School Lala South District

Handling group of people is a comprehensive and challenging task that requires effort and complex organization of ideas and action plans.

In the classroom setting, as the same, in order to lead a certain group in a way that daily goals are attainable, a teacher must be effective and efficient in handling his class.

It is also important for him to define the strategies that could be big help in his effectivity and efficiency, such as the kind of leadership framework he will be using. This matters because it will affect their performance as a group and as well the endresults of their goals.

Psychologist Kurt Lewin argued that there are three major leadership styles.

The autocratic style of leadership is a kind where decisions are made by the leader without consulting the group, even if it said that the contribution of the members could be useful. This is appropriate when decision is necessary to be quick.

Example situation for autocratic leadership is when a teacher chooses a representative for an inter-class contest.

There is no need for the class to undergo examinations since the teacher already chose a representative. It is most possible that the teacher will opt the

For an instance, the teacher wants to create poster for Nutrition Month theme and she encouraged the students to give ideas how and what way it will be drawn, what are the symbols and objects, how it will be presented and the like. In the end, the teacher will decide what are best ways among the ideas given.

The last leadership style is the Laissez Faire. The name is a French word that means “leave alone.”

Laissez Faire in classroom occur also at times. For example is during a group work in Science, the teacher will just let the students experiment on their own. They will observe during the process and acquire the result, then present it to the teacher.

The classification of style of management is very much important. The effectivity of the leader and the achievement of their goals highly depend on how the leader managed the group.

AGAYAN de Oro City Senator Paulo Benigno “Bam” Aquino IV graced the launching of the first of six pilot Negosyo Centers in the country Thursday, Nov. 13, 2014, here.

Senator Aquino

Sen. Aquino said the opening of the first Negosyo Center, situated at Antolin Building, Tiano-Akut Streets in downtown area, is expected to ease the doing of business in the city.

“Hopefully, all the objectives of the law will be carried out by the center here, because the goal is to have all the services there,” Sen. Aquino said upon reaching the city from Manila yesterday morning.

Sen. Aquino is the author of RA 10644 or the Go Negosyo Act. “The opening of the first Go Negosyo Center in the country eases the doing of business in the city, as it will help fast-track government processes in putting up a business,” the presidential nephew said.

He said the Go Negosyo Center will boost the devel-

opment of micro, small and medium enterprises, creating jobs and livelihood in the community.

Aquino said the Cagayan de Oro Center is the first of so many, as RA 10644 mandates the creation of such in all provinces, cities and municipalities in the country.

“We are closely working with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to establish more Negosyo Centers all over the country,” and in the case of the first Negosyo Center here in CDO, “we expect that we will be able to improve and improve as the months go on,” and achieve inclusive growth, added Sen. Aquino.

Negosyo Centers are expected to provide a unified and simplified business registration process, making it easier for entrepreneurs to register and start up their business and gain access to sources of financing.

“If we really want to help our kababayans na makaahon sa kahirapan, we need to generate jobs, nfd the best way is to support SMEs (small and medium enterprises). Yung SMEs naman simple lang ang needs niyan -- financing, capital -- and they need ways para maimprove nila ang kanilang mga negosyo by way of technology through better practices and ma-link-up yung products nila sa malalaking markets,” Sen. Aquino said.

Sen. Aquino said by making business registration simpler and more efficient, the government hopes to encourage more Filipinos to start their own small businesses to stimulate the local economy.

Peter Unabia, Balingasag Mayor Alexis Quina, CDO Vice Mayor Ian Acenas, DTI-Misamis Oriental Provincial Director Ma. Eliza Pabillore, Asssistant Director Jerry Clavecillas of the Bureau of Small and Medium Enterprises Development, and DTI-10 Assistant Regional Director Linda Boniao.

Pabillore said roll-out for the full multi-phase implementation of the Negosyo Centers will begin in 2015, as provided for in the Transitory Provisions of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Go Negosyo Act. DTI also sign a memorandum of agreement with sev-

eral industry partners to provide technology and coaching sessions for MSMEs. Among the companies DTI has partnered with is Microsoft Philippines, which will provide infrastructure for the Negosyo Centers. Microsoft will also be offering MSMEs with relevant technologies (i.e. Office 365) to help them start their business.

Ms. Diana Tibbs, Small, Mid-Market Solutions and Partners director represented Microsoft Philippines in the MOA signing.

“With the Go Negosyo Act finally in place, the Department

of Trade and Industry, through the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development Council (MSMEDC), has begun establishing Negosyo Centers in a number of locations in the country,” Trina Villanueva, media relations manager, Ogilvy Public Relations, said.

British Council awards funding grant to XU students enterprise (EDITOR’S NOTE: We are reprinting this article which first saw print in the November 10, 2014 issue to avert the technical glitches in its original publication where the author was not included. Our apology.)

By NIÑA BEA CADORNA XU.EDU.PH

SKETCH Bags, a social enterprise by BusinessAdministration seniors of Xavier University for the benefit of the Xavier Ecoville community, was awarded a Php100,000 seed grant at the British Council’s I am a Changemaker camp in Tagbilaran City, Bohol on October 25.

“It was a great experience.

It was overwhelming,” said Zuein Guantero, the general manager of the SKETCH bags .

With this year’s theme “Re-

siliency, Reconstruction and Recovery,” the I am a Changemaker camp gathered young social entrepreneurs throughout the Philippines in a 7-day ideation camp to widen their knowledge in social entrepreneurship through seminars, trainings and site visits.

The five best social enterprises were then bestowed with funding to be used for either the improvement or establishment of their respective social enterprise.

ings, production equipment and financial literacy trainings for the sewing enterprise of Xavier Ecoville. These will hopefully enhance the quality of the bags,” Guantero answered when asked about their plans on the grant.

SKETCH aims to provide livelihood opportunities for the families affected by Typhoon Sendong in December 2011.

They tapped a group of 30 mothers from the XE community for the production of the recyclable bags. These women have been paid for each bag that they produce. Thus, more bags would mean more income for them.

“We chose to help Xavier Ecoville community because, like the Ecoville residents,

two of our group mates are also Sendong survivors. The Xavier Ecoville community is also close to our hearts,” said Anne Sebastian, the partner of Guantero in the camp.

XE is a resettlement community for the Tropical Storm Sendong survivors located at Barangay Lumbia, located 60 kilometers away from the city proper.

“We wanted to help the society and the community,” Guantero added.

They also admitted that they drew their inspiration from Arsenio Sebastian, Ann’s grandfather who takes his active involvement as the livelihood development consultant of the Xavier Ecoville Project.

Hope for a bigger market

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
