Dads want probe on complaints of vendors vs. Hapsay Dalan team CAGAYAN de Oro City––A tripartite committee composed of the City Council committees on police, fire and public safety chaired

by Councilor Ramon Tabor, on economic enterprises chaired by Councilor Dometilo Acenas Jr., and on

public utilities chaired by Councilor Roger Abaday will conduct an investigation, in aid of legislation, on complaints of vendors against some personnel of the Roads and Traffic Administration (RTA).

This, after Councilor

Alexander S. Dacer, in his special report during the regular session Monday presided over by Acting Vice Mayor Lourdes Candy Darimbang, cited reports that vendors, including pregnant women were allegedly hurt during separate

Hapsay Dalan operations at Cogon Market.

According to Dacer, aside from being physically harassed, their carts and products were reportedly forcibly taken from them. He said the vendors, who engage in 5/6 for their

livelihood lost everything.

Dacer stressed that there is no law that allows abusive behavior of enforcers.

Councilor Dacer said there are also reports that some members of the Hapsay Dalan team were not in proper uniform and not

wearing identification cards during operations. He said this should also be looked into.

In his reaction, Councilor President Elipe also noted some incidents of abuse and harassment.

Davao City needs P4M for ads on revised ordinance

wednesday, september 3,

D

AVAO City - The city may have to spend around P4 million for the publication of its amended zoning ordinance, according to the chair of the city council committee on housing.

Councilor Bernard Alag said local newspapers can start bidding for the publication as soon as the supplemental budget is approved by this month.

Al-ag’s pronouncement came amid the pending approval by the city council of four items concerning the reclassification of around 30 hectares of land in Barangays Indangan, Catalunan Grande, and Tacunan.

The request for reclassification was filed by Mary Ann Chua, assistant general manager for operations of 8990 Housing Development Corporation and developer of Deca Homes.

The city council had scheduled the reclassification of the properties on Tuesday (Sept. 2). The items were approved on second reading last week.

In an interview Monday at the sidelines of the Kapehan sa SM, Al-ag said the council is not yet bound by the amended zoning or-

dinance since the item has not been published.

But he said the properties being reclassified “fall into the requirements of the amended ordinance.”

The reclassification request by 8990 asked the city council to rename light agricultural and light industrial areas into high- and medium-density residential areas at the said properties.

An ordinance needs to be published in a newspaper of general circulation and posted at conspicuous public places before it can become effective.

The amended zoning ordinance freezes all reclassification within the city from 2013 to 2036.

“The new ordinance is not yet in effect because of a lack of publication,” Al-ag said. “But we cannot impede development just because of the publishing. We gave them the authority to reclassify the property so they can start the development.”

The councilor said that even with the approval of Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte and the concurrence of the Housing and Land Use Regulation Board of the ordinance, along with the

Comprehensive Land Use Program, it could not take effect without a publication.

Al-ag added that last Friday’s meeting on the supplemental budget with the Local Finance Board included an item for the

publication of the ordinance.

The winning newspaper, according to Al-ag, would be required to publish a special edition issue that would contain all the text of the document.

“Newspapers can already bid on the publication and publish the document in October once the supplemental budget is approved hopefully by September,” he said.

Last year, environment

groups asked the city council to immediately pass the amendment as it defined buffer zones along the city’s rivers that would not allow development for the period prescribed by such amendment. (MindaNews)

Duterte wants public work projects finished on time

By JOEY SEM G. DALUMPINES of Philippine Information Agency-11 MDN: June 16-Dec.15, 2014

DAVAO City - Mayor Rodrigo Duterte warned government line-agencies involved in public works to inform his office the contractors awarded with government projects to ensure that they have the funds and will work on the project as scheduled.

He said he wants

projects to be finished on time.

Duterte said the warning includes water and electric utilities which need to dig on public areas and affect the flow of traffic.

He expressed dismay on the observation that there are government projects awarded to contractors who do

not have enough funds to finish the project on time.

Duterte observed that only few people worked on the repair of the Bangkerohan Bridge II yesterday amid a horrendous traffic.

He said any construction work even by water and electric utilities must have a corresponding permit from the City Mayor’s Office before working on the project for the local government to

ensure that the project is finished accordingly.

“Tell us where the project is situation and how long you would complete the project,” Duterte said.

He assigned Atty.

Nathaniel Dalumpines to handle the problem.

Duterte also urged contractors to employ as many people as they can in order to finish a project in a shortest possible time given that every project has corresponding funds from government.

1,189 farmers receive land titles in Bukidnon

M alaybalay C it y, Bukidnon -- During the 100th Foundation Day Celebration of Bukidnon, the Department of Agrarian Reform and the Provincial Government of Bukidnon headed by Hon. Governor Jose Ma. R. Zubiri distributed 309 Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) covering 2,034.1841 hectares of agricultural lands to 1,189 agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs). Held at the Kaamulan Grounds in Malaybalay City, the CLOA distribution was one of the highlights that capped the month-long Kaamulan Festival this year.

With the awarding of the CLOA, the farmers

are now transformed into new landowners with bigger and more challenging responsibilities on the land awarded to them.

During the occasion, Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II (PARPO ll) Julio C. Celestiano, Jr. stressed the significant role of the ARBs and other small farmers in eradicating hunger and in reducing rural poverty in the countryside. He added that as the world celebrates the International Year of Family Farming this year, the DAR would like to emphasize the major role of the small farmers in the global food security through their efforts and participation in small-

scale yet sustainable agricultural production.

PARPO II Celestiano, Jr. assisted Gov. Zubiri in the CLOA distribution while former Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri and thousands of visitors from different municipalities and provinces witnessed the ceremony.

The distribution of the Certificates of Land Ownership and Award (CLOA) or Handog Titulo is one of the activities lined up by the Provincial Government of Bukidnon as it celebrates its Centennial Anniversary that also coincided with this year’s Kaamulan Festival celebration.

Mindanao’s role in national economy focus of 23rd Minbizcon

GENERAL SANTOS CITY – For the third time within 23 years, this city hosted again Monday the Mindanao Business Conference (Minbizcon), and this time, officials underlined the island’s contribution to the national economy.

General Santos hosted the Minbizcon in 1995 and 2007, themed “Mindanao Resources Integration and Opportunities” and “One. Global. Filipino: Turning Big Challenges Into Best Opportunities,” respectively.

This year’s Minbizcon, co-hosted by the chambers of commerce of General Santos City and Sarangani province, carries the theme “Growth Beyond Convergence” and will end on September 3.

Minbizcon is the largest annual gathering of business leaders and government trade leaders in Mindanao.

President Benigno S Aquino III did not appear as key note speaker, unlike last year in Davao City, but in a message read by Secre-

tary Luwalhati Antonino, he noted the role of Mindanao in nation building and in the BIMP EAGA economic grouping.

“With its active participation in the Brunei Darussalam-IndonesiaMalaysia- the Philippines – East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA), Mindanao plays such an important role in the nation’s economic well-being,” Aquino said.

Aquino added that it is worthy to note how Mindanao will also fare in the coming ASEAN Economic Integration next year.

“As ASEAN starts to look closely at regional subgroupings, now is the best time for the BIMP-EAGA to put its best foot forward, and Mindanao is in the best position to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the ASEAN integration,” he noted.

Aquino said the country has aspired for many years to have bigger markets in trade, tourism, and investments, which “will become a

reality in 2015 when ASEAN member countries integrate their economies into one ASEAN community to make it more globally competitive.”

For Mindanao, which plays a big role in the nation’s economy, the opening of a single ASEAN market and production base characterized by free flow of goods, services, investment, capital and skilled labor pose tremendous opportunities, he said.

Aquino also expressed confidence that more direct investments will come to the island, and that globally competitive industries will be established in the area that will spawn more business activities, provide employment opportunities to the people, increase the region’s productivity, and drive economic growth.

The President was supposed to personally address the hundreds of conference participants that include representatives from Malaysia and Indonesia.

In her presentation later Monday afternoon, Antonino also stressed that Mindanao’s competitiveness plays a critical role in its contribution to the national economy.

The island-region’s economy grew by 6.3 per cent last year, pegged at over P900 billion and accounted for 14.32 per cent of the total Philippine economy, she said. (MindaNews)

Roxas supports Zubiri’s all-out war vs illegal drugs Bukidnon • Camiguin • Lanao del Norte • Lanao del Sur • Misamis Occidental • Misamis Oriental

By GERRY LEE GORIT, Correspondent

MALAYBALAY City––Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas vowed to support the all-out war policy of Bukidnon Governor Jose Ma. Zubiri Jr. against illegal drugs.

Roxas, who was in Bukidnon province on Sunday morning to facilitate the launching and turnover of the Comprehensive Local Integration Policy (CLIP) livelihood assistance to 66 former communist rebels who surrendered to the government in May this year, told Zubiri to report to him non-performing policemen.

In his speech, Zubiri even warned the rebel returnees not to use the money to plant Marijuana.

“Ayaw gyud ninyo gamita kining kwarta aron magtanom og Marijuana kay sigurado nga mapriso mo,” he told the 66 rebel returnees who received P50,000 from the provincial government of Bukidnon.

Aside from the P50,000 which Zubiri pledged to give, the government through its CLIP has also allotted P65,000 for each of the 66 former communist rebels.

The governor described the rebels returnees as jobless, and that some of them do not even have a formal education. He admitted that the provincial government cannot give the rebel returnees the needed jobs.

The least, he said, that the rebel returnees can do are to plant agricultural products such but not “Marijuana.”

Meanwhile, Zubiri urged the government to open the line of peace with the Communist Party of the Philippines-National Democratic Front (CPP-NDF).

The governor even asked Roxas to relay his message to President Benigno Aquino III. He said that to achieve lasting peace, the government should pursue the stalled peace talks with the communist rebels. “Let us start talking peace and we can start it here in Bukidnon,” added Zubiri.

Zubiri even challenged the communist guerrillas to talk peace with the government. “If they can hear me, I offer them my hand of peace,” said the governor.

Interior and Government Secretary Mar Roxas alighted from a private chopper Sunday morning at the headquarters of the 403rd Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army in Bukidnon province to facilitate the turnover of the P66,000 livelihood assistance to 66 communist rebels who earlier surrendered to the military in Camp Evangelista in Cagayan de Oro City.

Restoring peace via organic farming in Lanao

By Oliver Badel Inodeo KAUSWAGAN, Lanao del Norte––Tingintingin, a hinterland barangay seven kilometers south of this municipality, is the home to farmers who devote to organic farming in northern Mindanao.

This village is used as a war field between government troopers and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). Years of armed conflicts pummeled this community, especially during the all-out war declaration against MILF of former President Joseph Estrada in March 2000.

But, this war-torn village has evolved into a vast plantation of rice, corn and

peanuts.

Christians and Muslims alike agreed to till their lands using techniques to achieve good crop yields without harming the natural by not using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

As such, they recycled and composted crop wastes and animal manures, employ crop rotation, used green manures and legumes, observe careful use of water resources and good animal husbandry.

Malic O. Macabato, village chief, said he and the rest of barangay council members adopted organic farming to sustainably support their farmers.

Macabato emphasized that farming is the first

Geraldine H. Fortun joins her Maker at 78

UTUAN City - Mrs. Geraldine Hernandez Fortun, a senior citizens advocate, joined her Maker last August 28, 2014 at the age of 78 in Quezon City.

She died in her sleep.

Mrs. Fortun was board member of Quezon City Senior Citizens Association Federation, and President of Senior Citizens Association of Barangay Bagong Pag-asa, Quezon City, sometime in 2001-2007 when her son, now Agusan del Norte First

District Rep. Lawrence Lemuel Fortun, was in active law practice.

Mrs. Fortun was born in San Fernando, La Union.

She studied at Manila Law College and immersed herself into politics when her husband, the late Camilo “Melong’ Fortun, was elected city councilor for several terms.

She was elected for one term as Chairperson of Barangay Raha Soliman, Butuan City, Board Mem-

ber of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, Agusan Council, and Manager of Virgo Security Agency, Butuan City.

Mrs. Fortun told this writer following her son’s election as congressman in 2013, “I am overwhelmed that Lawrence made true Melong’s dream to represent the Butuanons and Agusanons in Congress in his time. I am sure Melong would make his typical loud laugh as his son makes his voice heard in the House of Representatives.”

BUTUAN City - Tied with the long time advocacy to stop dengue, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) – Caraga intensified its Ovicidal/ Larvicidal (OL) Trap deployment from to identified elementary schools in all municipalities of the region. OL kits composed of organic pellets, solution containers and wooden sticks were prioritized in the distribution.

“So far, as of today, there is still no found medicine to cure dengue,” said DOST Caraga assistant regional director and OL trap project coordinator Ricardo Varela.

“Concerned agencies are extending efforts to find solutions that will help the community lessen the threats of dengue,” he added.

Through technology innovations, Varela said these OL Traps installed in schools will be of big help in reducing the population of dengue carrying mosquitoes.

“However, we are encouraging you to set up and monitor these traps religiously, to solve the problem on rapid reproduction of mosquitoes. Cooperation is highly emphasized,” Varela reiterated during the recently concluded briefing for teachers and school representatives.

OL Trap is a cost effective and natural technology that works in the prevention of the next generation mosquitoes from reaching adulthood, thus curbing the dengue-carrying mosquito

population. It includes three important parts: a black container, a small strip of lawanit, and organic pellets as larvicide.

Proven, black cans attract mosquitoes – thus the trap invites them to lay eggs on it. In here, eggs will either be trapped in the lawanit paddle or find its way into organic solution, where they are killed before transforming into adults.

Implementing teach-

ers are required to weekly install and report the trap via SMS. Results will then automatically reflect on the Nationwide Dengue Vector Surveillance (NDVS) website (http://dengue. ph) with its corresponding statistics and suggested actions to be taken.

“This technology has been proven effective in many cities in the Philippines. There is no reason why it won’t work in Cara-

Surely, Mrs. Fortun has many things to tell her husband about Rep. Lawrence Fortun’s record as lawmaker and as public servant.

Surviving Mrs. Fortun are Rep. Lawrence Lemuel Fortun, daughter-in-law Marie Therese Fontanilla Fortun, grandsons Reason Pious, Ethan Chosen, and Populi Victor.

Her remains now lie in state at Raniel Memorial Chapel and will be laid to rest at the Chinese Cemetery here on Thursday, September 4, 2014.

ZAMBOANGA CITY - In consonance with the ISO certification of the Zamboanga City Medical Center (ZCMC), the governmentrun hospital crafted a clearcut policy on media relations.

ZCMC Chief Administrative Officer Violeta Mangaso said a meeting with members of the Zamboanga Press Club was conducted recently to discuss the said hospital policy to the media.

Mangaso said the policy provides guidance to both ZCMC and the media in the release of information about the patient.

“It is our primary concern that the patient’s right is not put into jeopardy or is not violated,” Mangaso emphasized.

Mangaso said the policy on media relations uphold the right, dignity, privacy, confidentiality and consent of the patient with regard to giving information to media or an interview.

Mangaso asked the understanding of the local media that before an interview [with the patient concerned] is granted, the Public Assistance and Customer Care Unit (PACCU) shall present the request [of the media] to the patient and his/her family including the attending physician/head nurse on duty regarding the interview, if the patient or the latter’s family give the consent needed through signing the consent form, then the interview now may proceed. A PACCU representative shall accompany the media personnel.

She also said all media interviews, photography or video tape sessions with

patients must be coordinated with PACCU during office hours. In case of inquiries during evenings, weekends and holidays, the Senior House Officer on duty is the authorized spokesperson to media queries.

The chief administrative officer said PACCU staff member should at all times accompany the media during the duration of his “transaction” (interview, taking photos or video).

Mangaso, however, clarified that media access may be denied in cases where media presence would aggravate the patient’s condition or interfere with appropriate clinical care.

“After the patient is discharged, the hospital is no longer in the position to disclose information about the him/her,” Mangaso further explained.

Mangaso clarified that although ZCMC is viewed as a public service institution, medical information is not an open public record.

“There are rules to follow and policy to respect,” she said..

“Only ZCMC-accredited media men shall have access to the hospital and patients,” she said.

“To be accredited, their managers/station managers, editor in chief shall write us and enumerate the names of their reporters or writers that they want us to accredit,” Mangaso explained. She said, those who will be accredited shall be issued an ID. ‘The ZCMC will set up a media center where the media can hangout as they do their stories or after a coverage. We are also thinking of conducting a regular press conference, probably one a month, ” Magaso said.

Gabriela partylist Representative Luzviminda Ilagan.

“And it happened!” added Ilagan.

In an interview with the media, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte said he “can’t do anything anymore” with the relief of Danao.

“That’s the hierarchy of the PNP (Philippine National Police). But, for me that’s a domestic (problem),” said Duterte.

Duterte told higher police officials that “if there is a domestic problem that is violent, you go to court; don’t meddle by relieving Danao.”

Asked who would he want to replace Danao as City police director, Duterte said, “Wala akong ipalit, ibalik nila si Danao (I don’t want to replace him, they should reinstate Danao) and let Danao face his case here.”

Duterte said he “will not oppose” the relief of Danao and said he “has no power over that” and “let Crame (PNP National Headquarters) handle the problem.”

Ilagan said they “want him disciplined, not for him to enjoy temporary relief.”

“He should answer the charges and compensate his wife and children. He should face the music,” said Ilagan.

A video of Danao apparently slapping his wife while they were arguing circulated recently in social media.

Danao has since asserted that what happened was a “domestic” matter.

Women’s group Gabriela protested the Davao City Police last week to call for the “investigation and punishment” of Danao.

In a television interview, Danao said Gabriela “should have placed in their placards the words mediation and intervention” and that “lalo niyo lang sinira yung pamilya namin (you are worsening our family crisis.”

Ilagan said that “(t)ransparency is the obligation and duty of the NAPOLCOM (National Police Commission) not of Gab(riela).”

“The pursuit of the case and seeing to it that an officer like Danao is held accountable is the respon-

sibility of Gabriela to its constituents,” said Ilagan.

Danao’s wife Susie have asked Gabriela’s help after complaining of inaction by the Department of Interior and Local Government. (davaotoday.com)

Vice President Binay cited specifically the MisOr CareS system for providing not only the medical needs but also the basic social services that the program provides.

“Naiingit talaga ako sa taga Misamis Oriental. May MisOr CareS kayo na tumutulong sa inyong mga panganga-ilangan. Hindi man mayaman ang iyong probinsya, pero napakaswerte mo na may gobernador kayong mayaman ang puso para sa mga mahihirap,” Vice President Binay added. (I envy the people of Misamis Oriental. You have a MisOr CareS that takes care of your needs.

You province may not be reached, but you have a Governor whose heart is rich for the poor.)

The Vice President reiterated his appreciation on the governance of Gov. Emano when he ended his press conference later at the Forest Part Resort, in the same town, saying that part of the progress of Misamis Oriental is because of its young leadership under the governor.

“This is one of the advantages when you have leaders like Gov. Bambi who is young, aggressive, hard working and sincere in its efforts to uplift its people through relevant development projects.

Vice President Binay, along with Congressmen Tambunting and Gatchalian were special guest of Gov. Emano during the distribution of MisOr CareS cards to over 400 beneficiaries of this town. It is expected that the distribution of the first 25,000 MisOr CareS cards in the province will be completed within this month. (PIO MisOr)

According to the councilor, in one instance, the RTA allegedly confiscated carts and contents even when these were still inside the house of the vendor.

Confiscated carts were reportedly brought to the City Engineer’s Office and burned.

Councilor Elipe said he also witnessed an incident when enforcers pursued vendors from Cogon Market to Corrales until the content of the cart spilled over the road causing traffic.

Councilor Elipe said the legal basis of these acts should be verified.

He added that nowhere in the ordinance does it state that vendors should be harassed and chased like criminals.

For his part, Councilor Ramon Tabor said he has not witnessed such

incidents nor seen sworn statements of complainants.

He said if reports are true, members of the RTA, or any other agency can be liable if they violate Article 19 of the Civil Code, which provides that “Every person must, in the exercise of his rights, and in the performance of his duties, act with justice, give everyone his due, and observe honesty and good faith.”

He said sworn statements must be presented and concerned RTA men be asked to answer the allegations.

Trainings Special Gospel of the day: Luke20:274(September2, 2014-Tuesday) Luke 20:27-40-There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

Last of all the woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him: This gospel reminds us that there are no more earthly activities in the second life like marrying each other.

The truth is, if we will be in heaven, praise and worship is our ultimate task.

THE UAAP of ARTS! MyPhone creates a new arena for school rivalry

In a time when school supremacy has come to be dictated by sports, MyPhone creates a new arena for school rivalry—the canvas.

This year and for the first time, the mobile phone giant known for being a champion of Philippine culture and heritage presents My Art Competition—a series of competitions that will scour local universities far and wide in its quest to honor and bring to fame the finest group of students in the field of Fine Arts.

The first leg of the art competition is the oil painting division. Aside from artistic flair, the contest requires from its participants a lot of teamwork and school spirit.

To enter the competition, one must form a team of ten (10) college students.

While participants are not required to be Fine Arts majors, teammates must come from the same university.

Following this year’s theme, Freedom, teams will enter a collection of ten (10) original oil painting pieces, one from each member. Interested parties are invited to submit entries from September 1 to October 10.

The fifteen (15) teams with the highest cumulative scores will have their works exhibited at the Green Sun in Makati City, a first of its

kind creative hub that nurtures young Filipino artists.

On December 11, 2014, MyPhone will present the following awards: the Best University Art Club, the Best Artist, and the People’s Choice, which will be determined through social media.

Over P500,000 worth of prizes await the winners.

The Best University Art Club will receive P200,000 and MyPhone Aqua Rio phones, the Best Artist will receive P100,000 and a MyPhone Infinity phone, and the People’s Choice will receive P50,000 and a MyPhone Aqua Rio phone.

The biggest prize that the young student artists will receive, however, is glory— school supremacy and a privileged entry into the local arts industry.

Through My Art Competition, MyPhone aims to empower the Filipino youth through art. By providing them with a venue for their craft that encourages healthy competition, camaraderie, and school spirit, MyPhone believes that they can help each other become the best that they can be.

City Council to review CDO Revenue Code

CAGAYAN de Oro City - The City Council will review the city’s existing Revenue Code here to be able to cope with the economic demands of the time, a city official said on Monday.

He said that City Councilors Prexy Elipe, chair of the committee on finance, ways and means and Edna Dahino, of

Personnel of the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PhilMech) test the cocowater pasteurizer it helped design and assemble with the Metals Industry Research and Development Center of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). The machine allows a germ-free extraction, pasteurization and chilling of coconut water. PhilMech says the unit - which carries a price tag of more or less P500,000 - is compact enough to be easily deployed in far-flung areas, giving farmers the opportunity to earn additional income of at least P2 per nut.

Mechanization gives rise to innovative technologies

By Cielito M. Reganit

Low-cost and innovative machinery and technologies designed to make farming more efficient and productive are now available to Filipino farmers through the Department of Agriculture’s farm mechanization program.

Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala said the partnership of the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PhilMech) with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) has paved the way for the introduction to farmers of useful technologies that

would increase efficiency, reduce postharvest losses and lowers cost of production in the long run Alcala said that among these are the compact corn mill, coco water pasteurizerchiller and harvesters and planters that could be simply attached to tractors.

The compact corn mill can process up to 250 kilos per hour while the coco water pasteurizer-chiller can aseptically extract and chill coco water.

“Sa Kabisayaan at Mindanao, sobrang ganda ng pagtanggap nila dito,” Alcala said of the farmers’ response to new corn postharvest technology, which costs

around P300,000 based on PhilMech computations.

He said the DA’s National Corn Program has been distributing several units of this equipment to farmer groups in key production areas nationwide in support of their ongoing expansion.

As to the coco water pasteurizer-chiller, Alcala said the technology presents an opportunity for coconut farmers to earn more, as they can now profit from a by-product that is usually being thrown away.

The equipment has a price tag of more or less P500,000.

P 1.1 trillion over year-ago’s P 984.1 billion.

The slower growth in spending was attributed partly to some government agencies’ slow usage of their budget to finance identified programs particularly on putting up of the necessary infrastructure. ”We will try harder in the third quarter. I’m confident that all these changes will lead to that,” Abad said referring to the government’s bid to hit infrastructure spending to about five percent of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2016.

BOC 7-month revenue collection grows 18% MANILA -- Revenue collection of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) in the first seven months of 2014 grew by 18 percent or Php203.86 billion year-on-year.

In a statement, the bureau said that the growth was posted from January to July this year, due to the continued improvements in valuation as well as a marginal increase in the volume of imported goods.

Likewise, the collection for July reached P30.46 billion, or an increase of nine percent (9%) over the same month in 2013.

The import volume and revenues of Port of Manila and the Manila International Container Port, average daily collection improved to P1.44 billion, versus P1.2 billion in July 2013 despite operational disruptions brought

by Typhoon Glenda and port congestion.

Importation of finished petroleum products, which accounts for about 17% of total revenues, grew 34.5% year-on-year in July 2014, primarily due to an increase in imports of diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

But, the average value

was down 18.5%, consistent with global market trends for oil prices.

Crude oil imports, which is 11 percent of the BOC’s total revenue, also expanded 20%.

On the other hand, importation of motor vehicles, which account for a 15% share of total BOC collection, expanded 22% on increasing demand for cars.

The importation of food items; iron and steel products; as well as electrical machinery and equipment also contributed to the revenue growth.

Meanwhile, revenues from Luzon ports, which include Batangas, Subic and Limay, grew an average 26%, while those in the Visayas and Mindanao posted average revenue collection growth of 18% and 11%, respectively, as a result of the economic expansion in Cebu and Davao.

In Metro Manila, the Port of Manila, Manila International Container Port and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport—which account for the lion’s share of total BOC revenues—revenues were flat year-on-year despite the continuing congestion at the ports. (PNA)

D&L Industries eyes Chemrez Technologies

D

&L Industries Inc’s eyes are set on their 34.7 percent owned Chemrez Technologies Inc, due to the aim of the former to make Chemrez Tech a full subsidiary, through the tender offer for the 65.3 percent. ”D&L Industries today announced the intended acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Chemrez

Technologies that it does not own for P6.00 per share through a public tender offer,” D&L said in a disclosure from the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on Monday.

The company explained that the tender offer comes from the 24 percent premium, that came from shares valuation within a 60 day averaged period

price ending on August 29. It’s entire valuation is at Php7.81 billion.

“After a careful assessment of how to maximize shareholder value, we believe this acquisition is the best move forward for D&L Industries, Chemrez Technologies and their respective shareholders.

Apparently the reason why most acquisitions fail is it

is very difficult to ensure thetwo companies don’t have a culture clash that jettisons the deal. In this case, no such issue as both companies are managed by the same people and governed by shared values,” said D&L Industries Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Alvin D. Lao. Moreover, D&L Indus-

Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV) reported sale of its 10.7 million treasury shares, at Php55.25 per share.

Based on a disclosure from the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on Monday, Aboitiz said that its 172,727,800 unsold treasury shares has now been minimized to 161,970,544 shares.

Consequently, the company’s listed outstanding shares have been affected because of the transaction. It has increased from 5,521,871,821 to 5,532,629,077.

Currently, AEV is allowed to sell a maximum of 50 million shares. With the latest transaction, the remaining treasury shares, which were approved to be sold, are lessened to 39,242,744.

Last June, AEV won the Tamugan Surface Water Development Project at Davao City, through its tie up with J.V. Angeles Construction Corporation. The project is expected to be completed by 2017.

AEV is the holding company for Aboitiz’s investments in power distribution, power generation and retail

electricity supply; financial services; food manufacturing; real estate; and portfolio investments.

Its primary subsidiaries are Aboitiz Power Corporation, Pilmico Foods Corporation and Aboitiz Land Inc. For the second quarter of 2014, the company earned

a net worth of Php7.36 million, compared to last year’s Php6.33 million for the same period. (PNA)

The ‘model’ anti-jay-walking enforcers ONE need not go elsewhere to find the best traffic enforcers or pedestrian lane enforcers in the country who implement the antijay-walking ordinance law.

They’re right at the Plaza Divisoria in Cagayan De Oro City. Pssst.. Be extra careful while crossing the streets in Plaza Divisoria otherwise a “pedestrian lane” enforcer would suddenly come forward to demand a P 500.00 fine. What? Yes, folk, you might have violated the anti-jay-walking ordinance!

Moreover, being waylaid by pedestrian caretakers is not far fetched. After all, the chances of being accosted

In light of the dip in its popularity, the Aquino administration last week bragged about the posted gross domestic product (GDP) at 6.4 percent during the second quarter of 2014 and the increase by leaps and bounds of the net worth of perennial Filipino business tycoons landing in the Forbes list of the world’s billionaires.

It is apparent that the administration would like to cash in on the two developments to prove its able stewardship of the economy.

For how can these local business tycoons increase their net worth if the country’s economy is in shambles?

The announcement that the GDP posted such a growth in the second quarter is nothing but brag.

The Cynosure

Cris Diaz is almost certain when one walks around the corners of Plaza Divisoria where the pedestrian lanes are laid like “booby traps.”

Haven’t heard of the popular jokes that milled

around the city about the assigned traffic enforcerscum “pedestrian lane” enforcers?

In Cagayan De Oro City it does not sound strange anymore when the traffic enforcer gun on anti-jaywalking violators instead of recalcitrant drivers. No idea? Kindly observed the public utility jitneys speeding in the city’s downtown areas, especially at Plaza Divisoria. Watch those jitneys cutting through right lanes and parking doubly while picking up passengers under the very noses of traffic enforcers. What gives? These cretins are the country’s best “pedestrian

lane enforcers”- they are not traffic enforcers!

Did anyone hear of a photo enthusiast who was accosted by a traffic enforcer or pedestrian lane caretaker with alleged violation of the anti-jay-walking law? The poor guy reportedly took photographs during the fiesta revelry a week ago.

Hearing the story made my stomach ache laughing. I have the naughty thoughts that, perhaps, the photographer does not look like one foreign correspondent or a tourist who was enjoying the street presentation while taking photographs.

cause only about 50 business tycoons are benefitting from it.

This is exactly what the World Bank study had earlier proved. That 80 percent of the 7.2 percent economic growth rate posted by the country last year was only enjoyed by 41 families in the country. A growth rate enjoyed by such a miniscule number of families in a country with 100 million populations surely will never be inclusive.

In bragging the inclusion of a few local business tycoons with increased net worth from their previous net worth only proved that indeed the growth rate posted by the country is being enjoyed and savored by a few families only. This is very anomalous if not

scandalous.

What does this mean in real world term? It means that the economic plan of the Aquino administration does not include the majority to alleviate their condition. It is an economic plan designed to benefit a few only and they are those who landed in the Forbes magazine as part of that elite group called the world’s billionaires.

The task of every government is to see to it that the economy is vibrant, meaning it is able to give work to the majority of the populace with decent income that is enough for their needs. But work is generated only through engagement in manufacturing, a matter we continue

A deeper View

Jesse E.L. Bacon II The brag, however, is sure to boomerang on the administration because it only provides the answer to the nagging question why the economic growth the country had posted has never been inclusive. Now, no less than the government is giving the answer to that nagging query. The growth has not been inclusive be-

Daily Inspiration Mark of honor “Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor; only fools insist on quarreling.” -Proverbs 20:3

Juvy Sarraga

Do you seek pride through being right when you argue? Quarreling doesn’t bring God praise or glory. Affirm your honor by

avoiding a fight. By doing so, God will bring peace to both parties.

The next time you find yourself treading closely to a fight, test your honor. Can you back down without losing your honor?

PNoy empeachment a farce LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: …

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him…”

(Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in John 8:44, the Holy Bible).

-oooRP’s VERSION OF JUDAS, THE BETRAYER OF JESUS: Indeed, the accusation is true: many of those furiously defending President Aquino now from the three impeachment complaints accusing him of culpable violation of the Constitution and betrayal of public trust in connection with his “disbursement acceleration program” or DAP and his allowing the signing of the “Enhance Defense Cooperation Agreement” (EDCA) with the US also staunchly defended former President Arroyo before.

It is clear that Aquino’s defenders in the House of Representatives and in the Senate have literally made a career of defending presidents during impeachment proceedings, evidently because of the huge political and economic benefits they get by doing so.

We know who these lawmakers are. They and their families are the professional “political turncoats”, the modern day versions of the most loathed Biblical character, Judas the betrayer.

to harp on here.

And how can we generate more work through manufacturing when agriculture, which is the sector where most Filipinos are, is a dying industry? Undeniably, while agriculture is the most potent sector that can bring about real economic growth because it is only that sector that can provide the much needed raw materials for the manufacturing sector to churn out into finished products it is left out in the equation.

Did you know that based on government statistics no less, the agriculture sector contributed .9 percent only to the country’s economy.

This fact tells us that there

With that in mind, the pedestrian lane caretaker at t he Pl aza Div is or i a must have thought that he had a trophy in hand.

Hey! Isn’t it shameful? If I were the photographer, I would have taken pictures of that goddamn pedestrian lane caretaker - he deserves a front page picture of that job welldone! Of course, there are

BLOODY END FOR A TURNCOAT: As a reminder to the Judases among Filipino politicians today, here are several accounts from the Bible of the kind of an end that happened to Judas, the or ig ina l “tur nco at” or “balimbing”. In Acts 1:18, the Bible narrated: “With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out…”

In Matt he w 27:3-5: “When Judas… saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. `I have sinned,’ he said, `for I have betrayed innocent blood.’ `What is that to us?’ they replied. `That’s your responsibility.’ So Judas threw the money into the temple and left.

Then he went away and hanged himself…”

-oooIMPEACHMENT VS. PNOY A FA RC E : T he impeachment proceed-

ings against Aquino are all a farce. Imagine, everyone who is participating therein have received money from Aquino for one reason or another, although most received the money in consideration of their vote to impeach former Chief Justice Renato Corona.

So, how can anyone among these supposedly honorable lawmakers from the House of Representatives really claim sincerity and truthfulness in what they have been accusing Aquino wit h? Are not their own hands soiled with the dirt and blood of graft and corruption and of plunder too? So what they are quacking about if they, too, stole from the Filipino people?

The story of the woman adulterer which the Bible depicts in John 8:1-11 definitely convicts them of hypocrisy. In that story, the woman was caught red-handed in an adulterous act, and was brought before Jesus to be condemned. Yet, Jesus refused to condemn her, and laid down the rule that our lawmakers must seriously consider now: he who has no sin can cast the first stone.

-oooWANTED: UNTAINTED FILIPINOS WHO HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD: Yes, who among our lawmakers and all other politicians in this present society of Filipinos has no sin? Undeniably, ever y body is a sinner.

No one deser ves to be elected and be addressed as “honorable”. But, as President Aquino himself asked before: where are these supposedly “honorable” men and women of Congress getting their thick-faced shamelessness that enables them to act as if they have not sinned?

It is in this regard that I agree with the call of the National Transformation Council in its “Lipa City Declaration” of August 27, 2014: this nation must find a way of reforming not just the politicians but of the system as well, so that only those who are really untainted and unblemished by sin will be given a chance at governance. The objective now is to find untainted Filipinos, those in whom the Spirit of God dwells.

is something terribly wrong with the economic program of the Aquino administration. Why it is not seriously addressing poverty, no one knows.

I was able to attend last week the lecture given by former national treasurer Leonor “Mana Liling” Briones during the annual church workers convocation of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines held in Silliman University in Dumaguete City about the national budget. It was in her lecture that I realized the government is not really serious in alleviating the poor condition of about 25 million of our countrymen.

The truism of the saying that where your heart is, there your wealth is also is very much deducible

from the national budget now being crafted in Congress. Did you know that of the total proposed budget only one fourth of it can be scrutinized by the legislators? And ironically the scrutiny is more focused on how much they can wangle for their own districts and never on why this much is only allocated for programs and projects directly benefitting the people?

Just think of this. Of the total national budget, a little over 61 percent will go to Luzon. A little over 20 percent is allocated for Mindanao. And a measly 18 percent is allocated for the Visayas. Why did the members of the House of Representatives coming from the legislative districts

in these areas allow this anomaly is something we should ask them to explain?

But since they are not being asked to explain by the very people from whom they owe their mandate, they just allow this anomaly to happen. This leads me to ask if the legislators we send to the Lower House really know their job or do they endeavor to truly know what their job is.

This point is worth pondering on if the congressmen and congresswomen we keep on sending to the House of Representatives indeed deserve to be there.

two important elements that a person could land on the front page of the newspapers. One, if you have done some heroic jobs and, the other, if you are a villain or a big joke!

Did the pedestrian lane caretaker who apprehends the photographer during a public parade fall under any of the elements? Your guess is as good as mine.

Another hard copy was for the pedestrian care taker to apprehend and

fine the hundreds who joined the parade at the Plaza Divisoria. Obviously, the participants have violated the antijay-walking ordinance, too! Had the pedestrian caretakers arrested the participants of the parade, I would have commended them with a whack on their head. Stupid! Where did these people come from? The local taxpayers are reportedly complaining of having traffic

enforcers who act like droves of wild packs in the concrete jungles of Cagayan De Oro. Let us not blame the head of the Road and Traffic Administration (RTA) for hiring this rare species ‘though.

Instead, the local government should be held answerable for its penchant in the hiring of Consultants who are square peg in a round hole. S end react:crisguardian@yahoo.com

Mindanao Daily B5 BUSINESS NEWS Power of persuasion can attract customers to your small business WHEN starting and growing a business, do not underestimate how the power of persuasion can draw customers to your small business.

How does the power of persuasion work and how can it help in starting and growing a business?

Here are three ways how the power of persuasion works: 1.) It Makes People Want to Belong. When you persuade customers that they are joining an elite or special group of people by engaging in your services and by buying your products, you make them feel unique and special, too.

2.) It Demonstrates Your Expertise. When you show your customers that you are an expert in your field, they will be more likely to trust your opinion and judgment.

They will look to you to lead them. In brief, this is one of the ways that you can persuade them easily.

3.) It Make Customers Feel Like They Are Missing Something. The power of persuasion makes customers feel that if they don’t have your products or aren’t using your services, they are missing out or lacking something important.

More power!

Bob Bare The power of persuasion is vital to starting and growing a business.

It is how you get people to invest in your business; how you get your employees to share in and implement your vision; how you attract customers to your products and services; and how you retain those customers.

Persuasion is about creating awareness and the need among your customers that you can persuade them in buying your products.

Do not underestimate the power of persuasion.

Start practicing that power.

Get hold of happiness THINK a minute.

Have you heard of the new emotional sickness called Sudden Wealth Syndrome?

It happens to people who suddenly become rich by winning a big lottery jackpot, inheriting a lot of money, or other quick ways. But then what these newly rich people often find out is that it doesn’t end up being the happy dream they expected.

They soon discover what many other rich people already know: money can’t buy happiness that lasts.

But that’s just our problem: we think that happiness is something out there that we have to find and get, like money, a position of respect and power, or physical pleasure and fun experiences.

We think we’ll finally be happy after we get out of school or when we get married. But then even when we do finally get it, we find out it doesn’t last and make us happy for the rest of our lives like we expected.

So how do we get hold of happiness that lasts for a lifetime?

Well, the first big step is we must admit that we’re not totally happy and we need help. But that’s hard for us strong, independent human beings to do!

We’re like the man who came home drunk one night.

As his wife helped him into bed she asked him if he wanted her to pray for him. He nodded yes.

So she began: “Dear Lord, I pray for my husband who lies here drunk.” But her husband

Think a minute

Jhan Tiafau Hurst suddenly interrupted her and said: “Don’t tell Him I’m DRUNK! Just say that I’m…SICK!” In our own heart and conscience we all know that we’ve done things wrong and failed to live the way we know we should.

We’ve not always lived in a close, right relationship with our Maker, and many of us won’t admit that we’re wrong and have failed.

Neither will we admit that we can’t fix our life and make it right by ourselves. But until we finally face the facts that we’re not completely happy and at peace, our life won’t change.

Yet today, if you’ll sincerely ask Jesus to forgive you for all your wrongs and living your way; then ask Him to take full control of your life every day, you’ll finally have peace with your Maker and the satisfying life you should be enjoying.

So why not finally get hold of happiness that lasts? You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Just Think a Minute.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - You take to the next new thing as if you’ve been waiting for it your whole life -- and maybe you have! In any case, your terrific energy is perfect for stirring up enthusiasm in those around you.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - This is not a good time for you to get too fired up over small slights.

Things are looking good, but you have got to make sure that you’re not focusing too much on the little flaws in your plans.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - You may not enjoy the pressure, but you can tell that the outcome of today’s events is entirely up to you. That could mean that you’ve got to enlist support to keep track of the rest of your life.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - You may be experiencing some level of disconnection between your social and private lives -- so try to bring them back together. That can be as simple as staying home with family tonight.

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - You are filled to the brim with vital energy -- it may feel as if you’re a fully charged battery. It’s easy for you to get stuff done as you push yourself further along this bold new path.

Yesterday’s Answer

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - You hear back from someone you’ve been waiting on -- and the answer is to your liking! It may not be everything you wanted to hear, but this news is definitely positive. Wait for it!

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - Someone is tempting you to take a risk of some kind -probably emotional, but possibly financial or even physical. This is not the time to play such games, so decline as politely as you can.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - Your inner confidence is startling -- so project it outward and take over the world! Or, well, almost.

Your great energy should help you succeed on almost anything you put your mind to.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - You may despair that you can ever succeed today -- things just seem to be stacked up against you. There’s good news, though: Perseverance is rewarded. Keep working and you should do just fine.

PHL T-bill rates down

M

ANILA -- General drop in the rate of the government’s Treasury bill (T-bill) prompted the auction committee of the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) to make a full award across the board Monday.

Rate of the benchmark three-month bill went down to 1.24 percent from 1.37 percent during the auction last August 4.

Rate of the six-month paper stood at 1.65 percent. Last month, the auction committee did

not award this tenor but its rate last July is lower at 1.51 percent.

The one year paper’s rate slightly went down to 1.864 percent from the previous month’s 1.869 percent.

The BTr offered a total of P20 billion worth of debt papers with the three-month paper for P8 billion and the six-month and one-year paper at P6 billion each.

Demand was high for the shortest tenor after bids reached P25.542 billion. Tenders for the

six-month paper were more than twice the offering at 15.6 billion while it reached P22.685 billion for the one-year bill.

In a statement, the BTr said “the Committee decided to accept all bids for all tenors given the average rates were well within secondary market trading levels.”

Relatively, Auction Committee member and Finance Undersecretary Gil Beltran said they decided to made a full award after noting that rates offered by the

banks was “within the secondary market rates.”

He attributed the drop in the rates to investors’ confidence on the government’s capacity to pay its liabilities.

“It means that investors have full faith in NG (national government) as a borrower,” he said.

Increase in the interest rates of government debt papers failed to sustain its rise and Beltran noted that “so far the desire to push rates up hasn’t appeared yet.”

ASEAN...

The sub-regional grouping also aims to harness private sector leadership in initiatives to promote cross-border investments and improve connectivity.

This year, trade and economic ties between Mindanao and Indonesia are expected to get stronger with the anticipated opening of the Davao-General SantosTahuna-Bitung sea route which operationalized shipping services between two focus areas in BIMP-EAGA. An agreement to operationalize the shipping service was sealed in Jakarta in May this year by the representatives of the Indonesian shipping line PT Kanaka, the North Minahasa Chamber of Commerce of Indonesia, Philippine-based cargo company ARREE Freight Express and the Davao City Chamber of Commerce.

PT Kanaka will provide shipping services to the route with its conventional cargotype vessel with a 120 TEU

capacity.

ARREE Freight Express on the other hand will handle the cargo consolidation requirements for the shipping route.

“BIMP-EAGA has already provided the building blocks for Mindanao, by establishing cross border connectivity, socio-cultural exchange, and trade harmonization policies,” said Antonino.

In a related development, Antonino also said “the international trading prospects for Mindanao remains bullish and promising, especially with the recent designation of the General Santos Economic Zone (GEZ) as a special economic zone.”

Signed last month, the Proclamation No. 820 designated 47 hectares of land as a special economic zone, which is seen to attract more investors to the city.

The new facility is seen as an entry point for investments from the neighboring EAGA and ASEAN member

countries. It is currently the largest industrial economic zone in South and Central Mindanao.

The GEZ offers income tax holiday to potential investors for four years (extendable up to eight years), including export taxes exemption, 100 percent ownership of enterprise, among others.

“Developments like these make it easier for us to position Mindanao as a single integrated economy that is able to leverage and participate in various international markets, and this should be the direction of the policies to endorsed in this year’s MinBizCon,” said Antonino.

With a theme “Growth beyond convergence,” the 23rd Mindanao Business Conference being held from September 1 to 3 aims to position Mindanao as a key player in the BIMP-EAGA sub-economic region as it moves to its greater participation in the AEC. (PNA)

Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCARRD), funded the initiative.

Alcala said that farmers can acquire these technologies in two ways - via direct purchase from PhilMech’s accredited fabricators or manufactures, or through a grant or counterpart agreement with the DA for qualified farmers’ organizations.

“We strongly encourage and assist farmers to mechanize their production processes – from planting to harvesting – to increase efficiency, reduce postharvest losses and lower cost of production,” Alcala said.

However, the Agriculture chief stressed that modern farm machineries are not meant to completely replace farm workers.

He said that as part of the farm mechanization program, the DA supports the formation of landless rural workers as farm service providers (FSPs) who are then trained to operate machineries for land preparation, harvesting threshing

and drying.

“When ready, they are provided with their own equipment so they could enter into service agreements with landowners themselves,” he said.

Alcala said some of these organized FSPs have already been providing services to their communities, such as the Kaunlaran sa Balubaran Lingap at Katagumpayan in Laur, Nueva Ecija; farmers in Barangay Dikildit, Maria Aurora, Aurora; and Amucao Seed Growers AgroIndustrial Cooperative in Tarlac City.

Alcala has constantly maintained that labor cost is one of the biggest contributors to high cost of production, followed by the cost of money or the steep interests farmers incur for their loans and the excessive profits that traders add to the cost of farm inputs.

“Mechanization helps reduce the cost of labor, which is why the government is investing in the continuous development and provision of farm equipment and other postharvest

technologies to boost the country’s farm mechanization level that is considered among the lowest in all of Asia,” he said.

“For this year alone, the DA has earmarked PHP 4.16 billion for agri-fishery machineries, equipment and support services under the 2014 national expenditure program,” Alcala said.

A 2012 study by PhilMech revealed that the country’s farm mechanization level was at 2.5 horsepower per hectare (hp/ha) for rice and 1.23 hp/ha for all crops.

Japan leads Asia in mechanization with 7hp/ ha, followed by South Korea (4.11 hp/ha) and China (4.10 hp/ha).

Southeast Asian neighbors Thailand and Vietnam likewise enjoy higher mechanization rate across all crops at 2.7 hp/ha and 1.56 hp/ha, respectively.

“By 2016, the DA targets to raise the farm mechanization level in the Philippines to at least 4 hp/ha for rice and 2.3 hp/ha for all crops,” Alcala said. (PNA)

“We expect that the stakeholders will submit the proposed talking points for discussions,” Elipe said.

According to him, the new revenue code would be fashioned in accordance

with the demands of the prevailing economic condition of the city.

The joint committee expects the deliberations of the new revenue code would be completed before the end

of the month just as the city council starts to deliberate the proposed 2015 annual budget, Elipe said.

“Improved infrastructure contributes to the enhancement of air, land, and sea transport systems, enabling the seamless movement of goods and people within Mindanao, and among the member economies of the Brunei Darussalam Indonesia Malaysia the Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMPEAGA),” Antonino said.

The BIMP-EAGA initiative has been identified as Mindanao’s platform to the ASEAN, and the full implementation of the Mindanao Development Corridors will place the island-region in a position of strength as it moves towards integration to the ASEAN and to the rest of the world.

Launched in 1994 in Davao City, the BIMP-EAGA is a key strategy to accelerate social and economic development of less developed areas in participating regions.

abing, PhilMech’s executive director, said that a rice transplanter costs up to P200,000, while a combine rice harvester costs around P250,000 to P280,000.

Another available technology is the mechanical seeder which is worth around P70,000, he added.

PhilMech has also developed a 10-row onion planter that allows maximized spacing and direct seeding in farm lots.

Bingabing said that its use could result in better yield in terms of bulb size, lower mortality rate and early maturity compared to the transplant method.

To design and test these machineries, PhilMech collaborated with the Metals Industry Research and Development Center (MIRDC) under an ongoing memorandum of agreement on agricultural engineering, among other research and development (R&D) areas Another attached agency of DOST, the Philippine
