Under BIMP-EAGA Vision 2025
Mindanao Railway project gets US$9-B By Digna D. Banzon
The Davao City Investment Promotion Center, the investments promotion of arm of Davao City, launched from November 28 to December 2, 2016, an investment roadshow in Manila to familiarize DCIPC with the programs of the various government agencies that they can synchronize their proposed activities for 2017. The Department of Trade & Industry through the Board of Investments, Export Marketing Bureau, and Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions briefed the DCIPC on their respective activities for 2017.

DAVAO CITY -- The final plan for BIMP-EAGA Vision 2025 (BEV 2025) has identified big ticket projects out of the USD23billion fund for the eightyear plan of the East Asean Growth Area (EAGA). Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) Deputy Executive Director Romeo Montenegro said during Wednesday’s Forum at Habi at Kape, Mindanao gets substantial allocation for infrastructure projects. He said the BIMP-EAGA Vision 2025 covers the period 2017 to 2025 which will eventually align with ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) 2025. One of the big-ticket projects is the Mindanao Railway project that has an allocation of USD9 billion. The other projects include the Sasa Port Development Project, the Davao International Air p or t,
Zamboanga International Airport, Polloc Port and other infrastructure projects within the Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao, Montenegro added. He said the island is given preferential attention because it is Mindanao that needs most of the assistance. He said all the neighboring areas already have welldeveloped connectivity. Once these projects will materialize, expect a big change in the economic landscape, Montenegro said, emphasizing that there must be linkages for air, sea and land. And linking these growth areas, he said, will make Mindanao an attractive area for investment. The development of these infrastructure projects will also create jobs. Meanwhile, Montenegro said that BIMP-EAGA Vision 2025 will be presented for approval when the Philippines takes its turn for the chairmanship. See project, page B3

No one can decrease the love of God for your life The Gospel of Jesus Christ (Decemb e r 9 , 2 0 1 6 - Fr i d a y ) Luke 15:1-3,11-32” But the father said to his slaves, `Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and has come to
life again; he was lost and has been found.’ And they began to celebrate. “Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. “And he summoned one of the servants and began inquiring what these things could be. “And he said to him, `Your brother has come, and your
Active Listening is Essential By: Grace May B. Rojo, Teacher III New Compostela Elementary School Damulog District
Active listening is defined as “A communication technique where a listener has to feedback to the speaker what they have heard, by paraphrasing in their own words, to confirm understanding of both parties. It is hearing very carefully to what people are saying. It is listening to what they are saying clearly and word by word. Listening skills are very important in all walks of life and in every relationship. Be it job or personal, active listening is very important to improve your performance at work and to build the quality of relationships with others. Hearing and listening are entirely different. Hearing is just sound that falls on our eardrums. It can be any noise or sound, but we do not have any control over it, whereas listening is an active process where
we bring a meaning out of the process. We all listen for various reasons. Every time we listen to something or someone we take in information. This is done to obtain more information or learn new things or to understand things better or to correct errors or just for entertainment or to show that we care. Research shows that most people who hear things remember only between 25 to 50 percent of what they actually hear. This shows that, we are losing more than half the information. There are high risks when you are hearing important information and more than half the information you forget might be the important one. So hearing alone is not beneficial, one needs to listen actively with care. This will help anyone to be a productive person and avoid conflicts.

For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command
of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends; but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’ “And he said to him, `Son, you have always been with me, and all that is mine is yours. `But we had to celebrate and rejoice,

As a plain teacher of the Department of Education, I have an advocacy to learned and teach very important concept of a model and devoted educator, which is a logical way of thinking with three parts: claim, grounds and warrant. The claim is your point, the ground is your proof, evidence or backing; your warrant is your logical leap that connects the two. The theory is naturally a little more complicated than that, but this way of thinking has been my bible for rational thought and was the single most valuable lesson I learned in college.
I use this way of thinking when I am presented with problems that require decisions. I structure a rational, logical argument for each likely outcome. I can therefore see where weaknesses exist, either in the grounds or warrant. I conduct a bump- and compare between arguments to see which are the strongest, and I go with the most durable argument. I also find out best outcome for the least price or cost. Through strong faith of God, determination and sacrifices, I struggle typhoon that frantic on my life. I have always had a fas-

As I continued my education, I felt a compulsion to use my degree in a peopleoriented profession. So, while I love teaching, I’d like to contribute my skills in the department where I am working for. I just like helping students who are in need of help and have interest to continue his studies. Never mind the money, the important is you can share what you have. Prayer and encouragement is the key to success. Never retreat than surrender, be a great survivor in your life.

Inflation Rises to 2.5 Percent in November
Headline inflation in November increased to 2.5 percent year-on-year from 2.3 percent in the previous month, and was above the BSP’s forecast of 1.6-2.4 percent for the month. However, the resulting year-todate average inflation rate of 1.7 percent was still below the Government’s inflation target range of 3.0 percent ± 1.0 percentage point for 2016. Likewise, core inflation, which excludes certain volatile food and energy items to measure underlying price pressures, also rose slightly to 2.4 percent in October. Mean-
while, month-on-month seasonally-adjusted headline inflation inched up to 0.4 percent in November from 0.3 percent in October. The uptick in December inflation can be attributed to higher prices of selected non-food items, namely higher electricity rates in a number of provinces, and upward price adjustments in domestic petroleum products, particularly LPG and kerosene. Meanwhile, inflation of alcoholic beverages and tobacco also increased during the month. On the other hand, food inflation held steady as increases
in the prices of rice, fish, and fruits were offset by the lower inflation rates of corn, meat, and vegetables. Governor Amando M. Tetangco, Jr. noted that the latest inflation reading remains consistent with the BSP’s expectation that fullyear inflation in 2017 and 2018 will be within target. Going forward, the BSP will continue to closely monitor domestic and external factors that may affect inflation dynamics and output conditions to ensure that the monetary policy stance remains consistent with price and financial stability.

Following the completion of the three-month long program, a graduation ceremony was held on December 2, 2016 at the Provincial Cultural and
Farmers Training Center, Misamis Occidental. The SOA Livestock Program was spearheaded by the department’s Regional Agriculture and Fisheries Information Section (RAFIS) along with the Provincial Local Government Unit (PLGU) of Misamis Occidental. It ran from August to November 2016, where the farmer enrollees were given quizzes and a final exam to measure their knowledge and determine the outstanding performers
from the program which aimed to guide the farmers on the proper livestock management and for them to generate more income. In his message, Provincial Agriculturist Dennis C. Leopoldo thanked the efforts of the farmers for completing the threemonth long program. He also hoped the farmers were able to understand the new technologies in the livestock industry through the SOA program. Likewise, he relayed that
the SOA program is one of the major targets of agriculture secretary, Emmanuel “Manny” F. Piñol. Leopoldo further mentioned that the DA secretary plans to have backyard chicken upgrading program which aims to start a vaccination and immunization project for all native chickens all over the country. First Honor Miluna T. Merced, from Oroquieta City, was thankful to the people who worked behind the program. She
also said that she was able to learn different systems and methods regarding the livestock industry through the program. Meanwhile Second Honor Calvin M. Estur, from Oroquieta City, hoped that the program will continue so that it will help more farmers. Also awarded as outstanding graduates were Anita B. Badiang (3rd), Maylyn C. Pangasian (4th), Erly P. Pangilinan (5th), Jocelyn C. Bualat of Oro-
quieta City (6th), Joel L. Arabes (7th), Eric L. Madula (8th), Katina C. Tara of Aloran (9th), and Norma L. Gumapac of Oroquieta City (10th). Mary Grace B. Sta.Elena, RAFIS chief, extended OICRegional Director Carlene C. Collado’s gratitude for the active participation of the farmers.
