CAGAYAN de Oro City––A total of 11 children and youth have been reported injured by firecracker blasts during Christmas Day in Cagayan de Oro City.

“This is alarming,” said Interior and Local Government regional director Rene Burdeos who chairs the regional Task Force on Illegal Firecrackers.

Burdeos said the number would likely surpass last year’s record.

A total of 13 people were reported injured by firecrackers after New Year’s Day last year.

“Now, it’s days yet before New Year and already there are 11 injured,” he said.

The youngest of the 11 victims is a three-year-old kid and the oldest a 16-year-old youth.

Most of them were injured by Piccolo, an illegal firecracker.

Burdeos said the task force will tighten its inspection of vendors around the city with the Philippine National Police tasked to confiscate illegal firecrackers.

“Our advocacy is to not use firecrackers at all, legal or illegal,” he said.

He called on revelers to use harmless noisemakers like Torotot and other horns.

Duterte to scholars: taxpayers’ money paid for your education DAVAO City––Mayor Rodrigo Duterte asked 820 scholars from the government’s Scholarship on Tertiary Education Program (STEP) to use their education properly when they become leaders in the future and to remember that

taxpayers’ money is paying for their education.

STEP is a City Government of Davao initiated scholarship program for the underprivileged but deserving youth of Davao.

“Even before you were born, I have been the mayor.

That scholarship is from the heart and has no hint of politics. There was never a time that you were approached to respond in kind because of the scholarship that you were given,” he told scholars during the Pahalipay celebration honoring them.

“Someday, some of you will be leaders asking questions about how this country is run,” he said.

“I have succeeded at times, and I have failed at times,” the mayor said, adding that government service requires making

informed decisions.

“Use your education to respond to whatever you face in life,” he said.

Duterte cited the handling of the aftermath of typhoon Yolanda (international name Haiyan) as See SCHOLARS, page 11

Bullet hits girl; 7 hurt in Oro’s X’mas revelry

C

AGAYAN de Oro City––Eight minors were injured including a 15-year-old girl who was hit by a stray bullet at the height of Christmas revelry here midnight Wednesday.

Police said that a stray bullet of unknown caliber hit the girl’s leg at the height of Christmas revelry Wednesday night but the wound was negligible that hospital authorities let the girl go after treatment.

Police, however, said that they are investigating the incident in an effort to establish the identity of the gun owner who fired indiscriminately at the height of Christmas revelry Wednesday night.

The other minors who were injured by firecracker explosions included a three-year-old boy who sustained a hand injury when a firecracker exploded in his hand.

“The boy picked up the firecracker that landed in their backyard believing that the object would not explode,” the parents told hospital authorities.

Another victim was a 10-year-old boy who sustained a burn on the face and hand when he lit a handful of firecrackers which earlier did not explode.

The injured were admitted in public hospitals here but most of them were sent home after receiving treatment, the police said. CRIS DIAZ, Exec. Editor, MDN

Army remains alert despite NPA attack

By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– Soldiers who rendered dedication of service and gallantry in action during combat were awarded Thursday morning by Lt. Gen. Noel A. Cobales, commanding general of the Philippine Army, at the headquarters of the 4th Infantry Division

in Cagayan de Oro City.

Cobales and Brig. General Ricardo Visaya, commanding general of the 4ID, paid tribute to the “Diamond” troopers during formal ceremonies held at Camp Evangelista.

The 4ID has integrated into various units a total of 93 new soldiers who recently graduated from military school.

Despite the killing by the New People’s Army of a soldier Monday afternoon in Allacapan, Cagayan province, the Philippine Army has maintained its suspension of military operations (SOMO) which is being observed from December 21 to January 15 next year.

Capt. Christian Uy, spokesman for the 4ID, said the soldiers in Northern Mindanao will remain alert during the period and continue to monitor NPA activities.

Uy said they have re-

ceived reports that the NPA would not be holding a big celebration for its 45th anniversary this week due to lack of funds. “Our soldiers are ready to respond to any armed attacks,” he said.

He called on the communist rebels to “come down from the mountains and join the government in peace.”

He added that the government is ready to accept surrenderees under its Guns For Peace program and that former guerrillas would be helped in earning a livelihood.

There’s money for MSMEs but absorptive capacity is a problem MALAYBALAY City–– There’s money intended for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) but the capacity to absorb funds is a problem, with some of them unable to identify what they need to increase productivity, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) regional office said.

Linda O. Boniao, officer

in charge of the Department of Trade and Industry-10 regional office, said this is one of the reasons why only 65 percent of the P700 million available under DTI’s Shared Service Facility (SSF) project nationwide was approved for release this year.

Boniao told Mindanews during the open forum for the launching of approved SSF projects in Bukidnon

last week that there are more than enough funds for SMEs available but determination of need is “still vague” among some SMEs. The SSF, according to the DTI, aims to improve the quality and productivity of microenterprises and SMEs. It focuses on addressing gaps in the value chain of priority industry clusters through the provision of

processing machines or equipment for the common use of the MSMEs in a target of 609 poorest towns.

Boniao said the SSF is the government’s investment or counterpart in the business pursued by MSMEs. She said Region 10 received one of the highest shares of the SSF budget in Mindanao and Visayas for 2013 with about P45.7

Education: Its Mission

By Jomar L. Reyes, Head Teacher III

Education existed even in the beginning of time where our ancestors still wrote in the caves just to exchange shared meaning and communicate with each other.

It is truly important for one to learn and know everything that surrounds him through educating himself. Perhaps, some creatures would ask what is the world without education?

Education will put something in your mind that will make you a sensible person.

It means that you can talk

with sense to other people since you can adjust to various levels of understanding. You can understand from simple to critical situations and in betweens. You can give an accurate reason to an existing phenomenon and as well explain why such behaviour existed.

Education will also teach you how to be a better person.

Each person’s personality have positives and negatives. Yes, it is up to that person on what he will use and improve but through Education, one can

learn on how to take controls over these behaviours. He will be taught about the outcomes of his attitude. He will know how to improve his positives and decline his negatives.

In the absence of Education, one may forget to take control over his intellect and also his thinking. For one, everything that resulted to success or a mess is a result of one’s actions which is, of course, his thinking made him to do so.

E d u c at i o n i s g a i n e d through levels. It is not just

actually what people learned from the four classroom corners but on their everyday encounters. Education is attained from level one to the nth level that no one knows where and when to stop since learning is a continuous process. However, being schooled is nothing when one will forget its true essence and its impact to an individual. Life without learning is a life that seeks no improvement at all. The world without Education is a world that seeks no improvement as well.

DepEd: on recently approved Rationalization Plan

By Elizabeth S. Virtudazo, Teacher-III

November 15, 2013 marks another step for Department of Education as on this period, the Executive Order 366 or the Rationalization Program for government agencies was approved. This EO aims to push result-oriented and efficient government services.

To review, the Rationalization Plan or Rat Plan is an executive order signed by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on October 2004 directing a strategic review of the operations and organizations of the executive branch and providing options and incentives for government employees who may be affected by the rationalization of the functions and agencies of executive branch.

This Rat Plan is a processoriented idea that requires each government offices to provide specific functions to its subordinates. In this way, offices will prevent themselves from duplication and overlapping of roles. It would also help improve agency performance through rationalization of service delivery, support systems, organization of structure and as well as staffing.

In Department of Education, affected of the Rat Plan were its Central offices, Regional offices and the Division offices-proper. The contractual and casual employees funded by General Appropriations Act Personal Services (GAA-PS) were also affected. Thereafter, DepEd had its reorganization for staff.

However, there are DepEd sections that were not included.

These are schools, DepEd of Autonomous Region of Mus-

lim Mindanao, attached agencies, GAA-MOOE-funded Contract of Service (COS) employees at foreign-funded COS employees.

Options were also offered to affected employees. They could choose to remain to government service by expressing intent to be placed in a comparable position and go through the placement process and convert item toCo-Terminus with the Incumbent (CTI) status.

Otherwise, they could also opt for retirement / separation under EO 366.

People placed in plantilla positions, no one will lose their rank or position level, none will be forced to retire for it is voluntary. In addition, no one will be forced out or retrenched from the

organization.

The Rat Plan, whatever its results may be, is for the purpose of organization, order and improvement of delivery

sUBasTa

of government service. It may experience a lot of struggle along the way, its advantages will perhaps be recognized years from now.

million. So far 74 of 77 proposed projects were approved with a total amount of P43.8 million.

According to figures released by DTI-Bukidnon Tuesday, of the P43.8 million, about P11.5 million or 26.32 percent was approved for Bukidnon. The cost is divided among 14 projects out of17 proposals. In Bukidnon, DTI reported a remaining balance of P1.9 million for this year.

Boniao said P50 million has been allocated for Bukidnon in 2014.

She said the DTI has not ventured into “assessing the needs of MSMEs” although DTI-Bukidnon cited some initiatives.

Roderico Bioco, president of the Bukidnon Kaamulan Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc, admitted that MSME’s absorptive capacity is a challenge and that identifying needs is a problem for these enter-

prises.

He stressed that MSMEs must have increased access to subsidy programs of the government but noted that some of the MSMEs may not even be aware of the program.

He said the chamber’s role is to help spread the word about the program and promote investments in Bukidnon. He added that the chamber is interested to promote even investments from local players like the MSMEs. He said MSMEs in the countryside should have greater access of government subsidies not only from programs like DTI’s SSF but also for farmers through the Department of Agriculture such as the Agricultural Competitiveness Enhancement Fund and from the Department of Science and Technology.

Tacloban Muslims receive sacks of rice from Lanao Norte LGU

T

ubod, Lanao del Norte – The devastation that Super-typhoon Yolanda (International name: Haiyan) brought to the islands in central Visayas spared no one. Progressive cities and provinces were reduced to rubbles after T.S. Yolanda made landfall carrying sustained winds approaching 200 mph, leaving thousands dead.

One of the hardest-hit communities is the Muslim village in Brgy. 69, Canibong, Tacloban City that also suffered massive destruction to properties and storm fatalities.

Responding to the tragedy, the provincial government of Lanao del Norte sent its 7-vehicle convoy to the island of Leyte on December 10, 2013 to conduct humanitarian relief operations and medical mission.

30 sacks of rice were turnedover to the Muslim community of Tacloban City through its leader Mohamad Mimbalawag.

“We are here to show that we care for the people affected by this

devastating storm. As Filipinos we share in their grief and loss and so we are doing whatever we can to help them (Yolanda survivors) get back on their feet again”, Lanao del Norte Governor Khalid Dimaporo expressed.

Team Lanao del Norte successfully conducted its humanitarian operations for three days starting December 10 to 12, 2013 before making the return trip on December 13.

Aside from relief goods and rice, the Lanao del Norte LGU also turned-over assorted stocks of medicines to the city government of Tacloban. VNL/ PIO-LDN

“Hoy! Umuwi na kayo!” (Hey! Go back to wherever you came from!)

Lydia struggled with tears as she shares how passersby at the evacuation center in Sta. Maria Elementary School treated them and the other displaced persons currently sheltering there. The jests would be followed by mocking laughter.

As if they chose to be here; as if they still had a home to go back to.

In addition to physical difficulties while at the evacuation centers such as the lack of potable water, light, closed bathrooms for women, and numerous others, emotional abuse towards IDPs is also rampant.

On December 18, one hundred days since the start of the conflict in Zamboanga City, an inter-agency/organization communications team composed of personnel from the City Information Office (CIO), Philippine Information Agency (PIA), United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN-OCHA) and International Organization for Migration (IOM) visited the evacuation center and dialogued with the IDPs there.

Lydia and several others were very emotional during the discussion.

Annalie shared that when she visited a health center, she sensed a feeling of hostility from one of the personnel. “Hindi pa ba kayo uuwi?”

(Won’t you go home yet?) the personnel would condescendingly say.

“Binubully kami, para kaming hindi mga tao,” (we are bullied, as if we’re less than human) Annalie said.

Not even the children were spared.

Juliet, a mother, shared

that her children would also suffer similar treatment from classmates.

“Ang tawag sa kanila mga ‘bakwits.’ Pinaglalait-laitan sila.

Lagi silang binubully ng mga classmates nila; ayaw na ng mga anak kong pumasok dahil nahihiya na sila,” (They are taunted, teased as “bakwits”. Their classmates always bully them. My children would refuse to go to school anymore because they are ashamed) said Juliet.

But the truth is, as much as those who constantly demean them, IDPs are desperate to go back home to their communities.

The difficulties and uneasiness can sometimes be too unbearable.

“Kailan po ba kami makakauwi?” (when can we go back home?) they were one in asking.

The communications team clarified that IDPs cannot remain at the evacuation centers since the living conditions there are not encouraging. Eventually, they will be transferred to temporary shelters in Tulungatung, Taluksangay and at the Zamboanga Grandstand. qBilly Jamisdamin II from the IOM explained that currently, there are still over 25,000 IDPs scattered in the different evacuation centers. “Pero itong numero bumababa. Ibig sabihin ay untiunti nang tinatransfer ang mga IDPs sa mga temporary shelters, at mas maayos dun kaysa dito.” (But this number is decreasing. What it means is that IDPs are being transferred to their temporary shelters, which are much better than the evacuation centers.)

The IDPs will be temporarily relocated to spacious bunkhouses at the resettlement sites, which is far better than the tents where several people cram together.

Moreover, IDPs will have opportunities to participate in cash for work, cash for food and other livelihood programs, minimizing their dependence on relief goods.

Eventually, perhaps in a matter of six to eight months to a year, they will be able to return to their homes and communities in Rio Hondo, Mariki, and in some parts of Talon-Talon (where houses were totally destroyed) after these areas will have been reconstructed.

“The government will build back better communities for you. This means that your areas will already have better infrastructures and other amenities once you return,” said City Information Officer Sheila Covarrubias. “The reconstruction is a high priority, which means that the reconstruction will begin soon.”

Meanwhile, Covarrubias assured the IDPs that their concerns and difficulties will immediately be brought to the attention of the concerned agencies.

“Huwag na sana nating payagan na maulit ito,” (we should not let this happen again) pleaded Juliet.

In the meantime, this being only a few days before Christmas, the IDPs are requesting for one more thing: “noche Buena.”

“Klarong-claro po na hindi pa talaga kami makauwi ngayong Pasko,” requested Jimmy.

Pero kung pupuwede po sana, may magandang puso na paghandaan kami ng Noche Buena.” (We can’t go home this Christmas, but hopefully, someone would share a Christmas eve meal with us.)

Christmas and the KoG

Mainstream Christians believe Christmas is the birth of the Savior who is Jesus but sadly could not explain how his birth and subsequent death on the cross to bring salvation to humans.

This salvation line had been swallowed hook, line and sinker by most Christians without even asking how his birth and death could result in such a salvation.

Jesus’ birth that we Christians celebrate as Christmas every Decem-

A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II ber 25 is dubious in its historical background. The birth of a figure as popular as Jesus whose teaching undoubtedly turned the world upside down should

have been recorded but no record has been unearthed about his birth.

His followers and the early believer just affirmed without any question that a

man by the name of Jesus had indeed been born into this world and lived among us. It was only later that December 25 was designated as the supposed date of Jesus’ birth. In other words, the 25th of December celebration was only designated but not the actual date of birth of Jesus.

If we go by this fact, then something is terribly wrong with our celebration of one of the worlds most talked about personalities.

Hopes and wishes for 2014

EVERYBODY looks forward to the coming of the “New Year” with mixed feelings.

There is anxiety over the devastating of the of the Super Typhoon Yolanda that ravaged in Eastern Visayas particularly in Samar and Leyte that was when one year ago in the commemoration the aftermath l of the Typhoon Pablo that hit in Compostella Valley and in Cebu and Bohol, struck by a magnitude of 7.2 earthquake two weeks before the total destruction of Eastern Visayas.

There is also a reason for our fear because we will not be able to predict the magnitude of the problems

Pointers of hidden gate Tom A. Caballero which we are about to face.

Nonetheless, we are confident that our government has adopted contingency measures to deal with any problem that may arise during the rollover towards the next century.

It is therefore with even greater resolve that we can courageously face the future ever confident of our

capability to improve the quality of life of our people especially the poor to whom President Pinoy has made a commitment of dedication and service.

‘Kimmy Dora: Ang Kiyemeng Prequel’ proves to be an action-packed comedy As the twin heirs of the Go Dong Hae empire, Kimmy and Dora return to the big screen in the third and last installment of the popular Kimmy Dora series. In Kimmy Dora: Ang Kiyemeng Prequel, Kimmy returns to the Philippines after graduating with top honors from Cambridge University in the UK. Luisito Go Dong Hae puts his daughters Kimmy and Dora in an internship program in their company to gauge Kimmy and Dora’s strengths

and potentials in taking over the Go Dong Hae empire one day.

Eugene Domingo once again pulls off her dual roles with ease and makes the audience believe that the sisters are hilarious and relatable at the same time.

As the two women start taking on various jobs in the company, from parking attendant to food service crew, they are guided by Rodin Bartoletti (played by Sam Milby) who makes sure both heiresses

Daily HOROSCOPE AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - You should be able to get some positive change in motion today -- how exciting! Your energy is terrific, and others are more receptive than ever to your big ideas. Make the most of this time.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - You are feeling philanthropic today -- so donate money or time to your favorite cause. You may be inspired to try something new so that you can expand your portfolio of altruism.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - You have got to sit down and make plans today -- otherwise, you may find that things are too crazy to handle.

Your energy is just right for at least one major distraction, but no more than that.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - Something small irritates you in a big way today -- probably pretty early. Try not to make too big a deal out of it, as you should be able to get things back on track by tomorrow at the latest.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - Your big ideals make life more interesting, and that could mean that you’ve got some new opportunities coming your way. Make sure you’ve got time for everyone involved, even if that means overtime.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - Your emotional side may be causing some problems for you today, so see if you can get folks to treat you with a little delicacy. If not, then at least one major fight is coming your way!

are learning from their training.

Both girls become smitten by their aloof yet irresistibly handsome trainer. Sam is dashing as the always polished Mr. Bartoletti and proves he has some martial arts prowess as well.

The Go Dong Hae empire is suddenly threatened by a terrorist named Bogart who wants to destroy their reputation. Kimmy and Dora suddenly go on the run to escape from the cops after

being framed for murder.

In the process, they end up discovering the dark secret in their father’s company.

Kimmy Dora: Ang Kiyemeng Prequel is definitely the most fast-paced and action-packed of the series. As a prequel, it also shows off a more lenient Kimmy who is not yet hardened by years of being a top honcho at her dad’s company.

The movie is very entertaining to watch, with elements of action and comedy

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - Your innate sense of pride might end up getting in the way of an important relationship -- so make sure that you’re keeping yourself as humble as possible. You’re probably in a good mood, at least!

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - You’ve got to be open-minded today -- otherwise doors will close in your face! Think big and try to imagine new possibilities when you hear things that might otherwise just make you laugh.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - Try something totally new and wild today -- your energy is screaming for something fun! It’s a good time for you to step up and ask the universe for a big surprise. Things are good!

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - A sudden outburst or fight blows up from out of nowhere -- but it should abate almost as quickly. Try not to read too much into what people say, as tempers are sure to burn brightly.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) Your social energy is strong now, and you are almost certainly in the right place at the right time to take advantage of new opportunities.

Speak clearly and directly and things should go well for you.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - Make plans today -- you’ve got to deal with situations that are in flux, which could mean that you have to keep revising your schedule just as soon as you think you have it locked down.

Christmas... from page 7

the date of their teacher?

How the registers can forget to record his birth is truly inexplicable? Did Joseph and Mary not respond to the call to undergo themselves to census processes during the early stage of their relationship?

How come there was no record about the birth of their son? And if their son was born of a virgin birth by the Holy Spirit, why is it being claimed by his followers that he was a Jew? Is this claim of a virgin birth and Jesus’ being a Jew not incongruent and illogical?

The commercialization toward the 18th century of Christmas compounded the situation. Jesus had to be born into this world so that there will be Christmas that its marketers could peddle to the gullible.

The coming of Jesus is indeed the work of the Holy Spirit. But his coming is theologically understood as God’s act of taking the form of a human being so that he can be with us thus

be one with us, so that he can walk with us thus talk with us about his teaching about the Kingdom of God. The birth is immaterial for what is material is God’s act of taking the form of a human being and thus become Jesus so that humanity will have a clear understanding of who God is, so that humanity could experience the mercy, compassion and love of God anchored on justice and righteousness, the fundamental tenets in the Kingdom of God. God in Jesus fed the hungry, healed the sick, humbled the haughty and proud and embraced the outcasts of society who like anyone else were also created in the image and likeness of God. What is important with Christmas is not the birth of Jesus but the coming of the Messiah who made operative God’s salvific act like when he rescued his Chosen People from slavery in Egypt and brought them to the Promised Land.

The coming of the Messiah had always been understood by God’s Chosen

People as his direct intervention to save them from the misery and suffering inflicted on them by the powerful and mighty whose desire to feed on their insatiable greed for power, fame and wealth resulted in their being deprived of their rightful share of God’s bounty and blessings intended for all.

God always viewed, as understood by the Jews, the poverty and hopelessness of those who have less in life as the result of deprivation perpetrated by the greedy few.

It is from this situation that the Jews cried out to God for salvation, for release from their suffering and misery that is not to their liking. For who would like to be living a life of suffering and misery?

As I write this piece, the kids in the neighborhood were doing a house-tohouse pamamasko. While other homes welcomed them with gifts of a few pesos or food, others don’t even give them the courtesy of saying no to their pamamasko. I watched the kids and their adult companions leave with so much frustration and disgust because of this.

They certainly did not like the cold treatment they have to endure in some homes.

Like them, no one in this world who is in his right mind would ever dream of enduring suffering and misery all their life.

Many are in suffering

and misery because the greed of the few deprived them of their right to live full and abundant lives as well. In our country, this is manifested by the fact that only 41 families are wallowing in abundance enjoying 78 percent of the 7.1 percent growth rate posted by the economy.

It is this situation that the teaching of Jesus about the Kingdom of God would like to change. This is the meaning of God’s act in taking the form of a human being that we fondly celebrate as Christmas.

Some 200 families who had sur vived typhoon Yolanda and who were staying in the city with relatives were also invited to the Pahalipay.

Duterte said that he does not blame either President Benigno S. Aquino III or Local Governments secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas, but said someone must be held accountable. He lamented the national government’s slow response to the calamity that was “already staring them eyeball to eyeball.”

He said he was sure that President Aquino and Roxas were advised before they made calls on the ground. “I’m sure they have already thought about things,” he said, citing his

own decision-making policy of asking the city legal office for advice first before dishing out his executive powers. (MindaNews)

communist rebels attacked at around 12:30 am and immediately set on fire the heavy machineries. They did not say if the rebels disarmed the construction firm’s watchmen.

Police investigators said Conception Basic Builders failed to pay the NPAs’ extortion demand of P150,000.

According to a police statement, the NPAs’ actions even against private firms that contribute to community development, is an assault on the people themselves.

The Communist Party of Philippines/New People’s Army’s ideology of destroying private properties, infrastructure systems and technology, of violence against civilians is anti-people.

Threats and violence accompanying extortion are the handiworks of bandits and criminals.

The statement also said it is high time for the people to unite to enable them to attain peace and freedom from fear that the NPA troublemakers have sown because of terroristic activities.

He said that the rebels also hanged propaganda materials along the highways in the municipal towns of Balingasag toward the neighboring town of Talisayan early Thursday morning.

Uy said that the military is observing a unilateral ceasefire with the communist NPA rebels during the observance of the Christmas holidays although all military outposts in Northern Mindanao have been on full alert.

In the municipal towns of Talacogon and Esperanza, all known rebel-infested mountain towns, residents expressed consternation over bundles of plastic leaflets and posters spread over by the communist guerrillas in the town on Thursday morning.

Major Noli P. Kanashiro, executive officer of the army’s 26th Infantry Battalion based in Agusan del Sur, said that the residents in the two towns picked up and burned all the propaganda materials while the nonbiodegradable materials were disposed accordingly.

Lt. Col. Jose Leonard Gille, commander of the army’s 26th Infantry Battalion dismissed the propaganda materials as “mystical statements” of communistic leadership that glorifies falsehood and criminal acts against innocent people.

However, Cedeno said, the decrease in fund allocation did not deter stakeholders in Northern Mindanao from getting the highest distinction as the No. 1 Irrigator’s Association in the country in 2012.

He said that the Loguilo Irrigators’ Association in Alubijid, Misamis Oriental would receive the highest distinction in an awarding rites scheduled on June 2014.

The Loguilo irrigation association has the distinction of being awarded the highest distinction for three consecutive years now, Cedeno added..CRIS DIAZ, Exec.
