Duterte thumbs-down amendment to CLUP By Antonio L. Colina IV of MindaNews

DAVAO City––Environmental groups in Davao City were all praises after City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte vetoed the amended Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance, which integrated the 10-percent green space to the

30-percent open space provision in all land developments. But Mary Ann Fuertes, executive director of Interface Development Interventions (IDIS), said during the Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM City they have to face yet again another hurdle, that is, whether the City Council would override the veto on Tuesday.

Fuertes said members of the Green Davao Coalition held a vigil outside Quezon Park here at 5 a.m. on Monday in what they thought would be their last resort to urge Duterte to decide in favor of their call to veto the controversial amendment. IDIS is co-convener of the coalition.

To their surprise, she said the environmental groups found out that the veto was already signed by Duterte on Monday, the last of the10-day window for the local chief executive to veto the amendments, starting from the day the it was forwarded to the executive branch on February 12.

Tagum city officials, employees move to new City Hall DAVAO City -- City officials and employees of the Tagum City government are moving to the new City Hall building built at P1 billion in Barangay Apokon. The building will be inaugurated on March 7. “It’s a dream come true! It’s exciting, it’s fulfilling, it’s tagumpay (success)!,” enthused Mayor Allan Rellon when asked in an interview. Rellon sees the full transfer on March 7, which is the 18th founding anniversary of the city. Rellon said that there would be no lavish and extravagant celebration on that day. They will serve native delicacies to an estimated 15,000-18,000 Tagumenyos who are expected to witness the grand opening of the new City Hall. Rellon will also deliver his State of the City Address as one of the highlights of lined up activities. “It’s really a date with an affair of the Tagumenyos, and since it’s election time

already, we are not inviting national politicians to grace the affair, although they can come in and of course, we will welcome them,” the mayor said. “It’s for the Tagumenyos and we don’t want to politicize,” he said. The new City Hall sits on the sprawling eight-hectare land donated by Davao business magnate, the late Jesus V. Ayala. The construction of the City Hall was started by Uy from a P200-million loan from the Development Bank of the Philippines secured in late 2007. “Soon the next bank loans came in after that first P200 million, the P275 million, P162 million and that P231 million, for a total of P868 million, plus the around P100 million equity of the city government, it’s almost P1 billion,” said the acting city planning and development coordinator (CPDC) Sonny Manigo. It may be recalled that

there were allegations of corruption hounding the construction of the new city hall. There were allegations of ghost deliveries of materials worth slightly more than P200 million for which the bulk of the loan was intended for. Two of the four affected suppliers claimed that the materials were indeed delivered and already used. They sued Rellon and his city legal counsel Arman Seras, who is now in the private sector. Two cases related to the new City Hall are pending with two Regional Trial Courts in Tagum City, but Rellon said he is awaiting for court decisions before he would file counter charges on alleged ghost deliveries. Earlier, Rellon questioned the deliveries alleging that “there were POs (purchase orders) but there were no deliveries as certified by the city engineer’s and general services offices.” Three of the four affected suppliers

responded to the notices of the termination of contracts sent in December 2014. The four affected suppliers remained unpaid. Manigo said that the new City Hall is 95 percent complete, and what remains to be completed in the main structure is the 5th floor, which is the viewing deck. The planning officer has been working for 18 years in the old City Hall and as the head of the committee on city hall transfer, he said: “I’m having mixed emotions; I’m excited, for us who’ve been working here for a long time. It’s not in our wildest expectations before that one day we will transfer to a new office.” Meanwhile, Rellon wants to convert the old City Hall as the “Tagum City Cultural Historical Center.” “We will improve this old building with P10-20 million budget to make this as a heritage pride shining at the center of a developed city. This building started with the structure of the ‘40s and we need to preserve, and improve this with Muslim and indigenous motifs laid all over and a museum inside,” the mayor said. As to the Sangguniang Panlungsod Building in Barangay Magugpo, Rellon said he has already requested to convert it to a barangay hall. Other national agencies have shown interest to occupy some of the rooms. (PNA) LAP/LCM/CHARLIE V. MONFORTE/LDP

DTI-Misor focused on improving provincial competitiveness THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in Misamis Oriental has given a top priority to the improvement of the province’s competitiveness for 2016. At the sidelines of the media briefing for 2015 Accomplishments of Region 10 held last December at a hotel in Cagayan de Oro, Ma. Eliza A. Pabillore, DTI Misamis Oriental provincial director, also shared the major accomplishments of the province done through the assistance and intervention of DTI Misamis Oriental Provincial Office. “Actually, the completeness of the data submitted by the cities and municipalities contributed a lot in the judging for the Most Competitive Province. Most municipalities and component cities in Misamis Oriental were able to submit the data substantiating its ranking as one of the most competitive provinces in the country,” PD Pabillore noted. “But of course the major contributory factors are the 3 categories in NCC which is government efficiency, infrastructure and economic dynamism.” “We all know that exports and investments are mostly generated in the province of Misamis Oriental,” she explained. “We have an international container port, an airport of international standards, and we

also have several 1st class municipalities. Those are the major contributors why the province was adjudged one of the most competitive in the country.” The Province of Misamis Oriental was ranked the 2nd Most Competitive Province in the 3rd edition of the Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index (CMCI) conducted by the National Competitiveness Council (NCC), next to Davao del Sur. The Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index (CMCI) is a program which encourages LGUs to gather and voluntarily submit data which are used to measure their performance on three pillars anchored on global standards: Economic Dynamism, Government Efficiency, and Infrastructure. Each pillar has indicators which provide a more detailed view of the economic status of the locality. There are 8 indicators for Economic Dynamism and 10 indicators for both Government Efficiency and Infrastructure, totaling 28 indicators. The data submitted by the LGUs, through the assistance of a partner Academe and the Regional Competitiveness Committees, is used for the final scoring and ranking. The 3rd CMCI ranked 1,120 local See improving, page A15

Lessons from Failed Argumentation

I wish the next debate would show me more of what the candidates are made of and what they actually stand for. Because in this debate, instead of leading Filipinos to the candidate they should vote for, it has only taught nothing but whom not to vote. I MEANT to comment on the recent Pilipinas Debate 2016 hosted by Capitol University which occurred last February 21, 2016. However, it was a sorry excuse for a “debate” which one cannot blame on the presidential candidates but on the debate organizers themselves. First of all, pitting one candidate against another and forcing them to respond for 30 seconds does not open doors for dialogue or serve the purpose of this event-a debate. One of the front runners, Mayor Duterte, when asked to rebut about Senator Santiago’s record said, “What is to argue?” and in another instance against Secretary Roxas, responded in almost a sarcastic tone, “I can’t rebut... there’s nothing to rebut because it’s all good.” Which brings me to my second point, not only is the format of the debate already terrible, the questions were not even debatable. They were all concede-able. One round discussed poverty and development and another discussed Mindanao: points and facts raised in these rounds were not contestable. Everyone agrees that

I am left wanting. Nevertheless, there are still things to draw from the event. Personally, it solidified my idea of the kind of candidate I DO NOT want to vote for: One, I will not vote for a corrupt official. We all agree on that. Hands down. A government who steals from the people they are supposed to be serving should not be placed in a position of power or responsibility. Two, I definitely will not vote for a candidate whose arguments center on making others look bad in order for them to look good, or what the US military calls, a Blue Falcon. This type of candidate is unwilling to take responsibility, and will always point fingers. They will throw a comrade under the bus and would sooner risk another’s life and reputation of others than their own. A person who cannot admit their shortcomings

or take responsibility lacks character and I believe this type of person is not fit to bear the country’s burden. Three, I most certainly will not vote for a candidate who rides on the successes of others instead of campaign on the merit of their own ideas and accomplishments. A person who steals credit or rides on a legacy they did not build themselves is a parasite who will try to cover up any of their failures by hiding in someone’s bigger awe-inspiring shadow. And lastly, my vote will not go to an idealist. This country has held on to false hopes and empty promises for too long. Realistically, it is the doer who gets things done. Senator Santiago, when economic development proposals were raised, asked repeatedly, where will the funds come from? Without a proper plan on where to source the funds, these are all “promises in the sky.” Any educated Filipino can make a business plan, but very few have the courage and resolve to enforce a cohesive and sustainable implementation plan. I wish the next debate would show me more of what the candidates are made of and what they actually stand for. Because in this debate, instead of leading Filipinos to the candidate they should vote for, it has only taught nothing but whom not to vote.

the country is poor and development is needed. Everyone agrees that Mindanao needs to be given more attention. Everybody agrees on national issues which even fourth graders understand. The only parts where there were any arguments and debate at all were when the candidates’ histories and track records were brought up (which was, by the way, its own round). What the debate organizers’ purpose for adding this round into the whole debate is unclear--unless they had intended for it to be a platform for candidates to bash each other as a form of entertainment. In that case, they were successful. But it provided little benefit for viewers and voters who need to be educated on these presidentiables’ primary advocacies. Performance-wise, I would give the debate to Grace Poe who was very graceful and eloquent. However, I am aware that a two-hour debate does not fully uncover a candidate’s substance--especially in such a poorly structured “debate” format. In the end,

All human beings in the world should be lifted up in terms of their dignity without considering any attributes the human beings have. can make more propaganda for building good image for their candidates. They can build their candidates’ personal brandings. It is evidently proved in some countries that such mass media can succeed to do image building: bad image for the opponents and good image for their candidates. In that situation, there is hegemony in life that is against humanity in general and again personal privacy in more specifically. Humanity as the term for all human beings should be enhanced for increasing human dignity. All human beings in the world should be lifted up in terms of their dignity without considering any attributes the human beings have. Privacy such as personal history or personal affairs

can also be blown up into public for political purposes. In that case, if we are asked whether we want to be politicians for running for president, the answer must be not, not at all. But, the story will be different. When the candidates have big ambition to get the goal for the political career, any strategy can be done. And, that is the time for them to forget the values of humanity and the values of privacy. The grassroots or the supporters are the objects of the propaganda. When the propaganda is filled with black campaign, the public opinions will be created or established. There is a condition that we can call it a turbulent point. That is the situation where the social atmosphere has become the war of ideas. Whoever

has opportunity to express the ideas they will be the “winners”. The winner in this case is in the sense of making public opinion about their own candidates. Black campaign tends to spread in the online mass media. They are always exposed during the night or early morning. So, it is not surprising when we find black campaign during that time. There are lots of exposures, words, pictures, in an attempt to degrading their opponents’ candidates. This is called a social chaos. Large public See POLITICAL, page A15

Do you find yourself in a care-taking the position of your parents? It’s very easy to want to impose our interests on them over their best interest because it may be easier or more convenient. But is that position really honoring to them? Take the time to think through what actions are respectful and yet allow them room to age gracefully.

TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Sur -- Various women’s organizations in Surigao del Sur have already started to get ready for the 2016 National Women’s Month Celebration in March. Mila Arreza, population program officer IV, and one of

the most active women leaders at the provincial capitol here being the Gender and Development (GAD) focal person, has come out with the initial activities to be undertaken. Hanging up of tarps/ streamers in strategic areas

bearing the theme “Kapakanan ni Juana, Isama sa Agenda!” will signal the opening of the month-long celebration, it was learned. Henceforth, activities will go on until culmination at the end of the month, based on the plan of activities printed

out. Among the major events lined-up include Mass (during the opening/closing activities), Fun Run, Health Summit, Orientation/Seminar on Laws on Women, and Radio/TV Program guestings. During the month-long

celebration, all national, provincial, city and municipal offices, non-government organizations (NGOs), socio-civic and religious organizations are expected to take part. In the province, both Surigao del Sur Women Employees Association (SS-

WEA) and Kalalakihang Tapat sa Responsibilidad at Obligasyon sa Pamilya (KATROPA) are the usual groups frequently seen in events like this. (NGBT/ Greg Tataro Jr., Radyo ng Bayan-Tandag/PIA-Surigao del Sur)

BIR marks PHP56.7-M increase in tax collection; adopts new collection approach in Zambo del Sur PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur -– The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) through Revenue District Office No. 92 has registered in 2015 a 10.89 percent increase in collection of taxes representing PHP56,777,761. Myrna Maslamama, RDO-92 officer-in-charge,

told the Philippines News Agency on Monday they have collected a total of PHP857,419,612.74 in 2015 which is higher by PHP56,777,761.57 compared to the PHP800,641,851.17 collection in 2014. Maslamama said they registered an increase in taxes collection in 2015

despite they failed to meet the PHP1,061,258,000 target collection representing a decline of 19.59 percent. For this year, Maslamama said they were tasked to collect almost PHP1.3 billion, which is 44 percent higher than last year’s target collection goal. However, she is confident

they will be able to meet this year’s target collection goal with the new approach they adopted under the leadership of Aminoding Macarampat, the new RDO92 chief. She said part of the new approach is the conduct of series of seminars and trainings to educate the

Education is about navigating the future By ISMAEL NIÑO SAMBAAN Teacher I San Juan National High School San Juan, Balingasag, Misamis Oriental

THE debate about the worth of university degrees and the value of humanities and arts in particular is now an old one. People typically argue quite strongly for one perspective – either that tertiary institutions must be focusing on the hard skills needed by the

economy such as ours here in the Philippines or that we should appreciate the overall intellectual cultivation offered by a university education. However this is not the issue. I firmly believe that developing countries such as ours needs a hybrid tertiary

education model that can produce practically skilled graduates who also have a broad intellectual outlook on the questions facing humanity. This means that our NC II Tesda graduates must also possess the intellectual capacity of a degree holder so our graduates can compete globally. At the same time, these people will ultimately bear the skills they need to be able to cross

How to Handle Student’s Behavior By ANNABELLE G. MENDEZ Teacher – I Old Kibawe Elementary School Old Kibawe, Kibawe, Bukidnon

Every teacher experiences difficulty in his or her student’s attitude. They have to deal with it and it is their responsibility to find a way on how to handle that certain behavior of the student. Managing the behavior of the student is a challenging part of being a teacher because students

have different behaviors in school which interfere the discussion of the teacher in the class. There are strategies on how to deal with this kind of problem. Teachers should talk to their students privately so that they will know why the student has that attitude and to give

them some advice that they should follow to correct their students. Talk to them in a polite way like you are his or her friend that is willing to listen to him. Teachers should find a way on how to make the discussion interesting so that the students will not get bored. Do not lose your temper and never use physical force to discipline them. Involve students in learning, build a good relationship with them

as many geographic and cultural borders as they wish in the pursuit of life. Remember that the target of these graduates is abroad. Unlike in the olden times where skills are the sole basis of one’s workplace evaluation, many companies all over the world now include intellectual capacities as criterion for these evaluations. and always be positive in telling them that they can achieve their goals. Teachers are not just the one who teaches students because it is their job but they are also student’s mentor not just in class but also in real life. Student’s behavior and attitudes are common problems in school. Teachers help their students to have change that is why teachers should inspire and encourage their students.

Granvia Suites open for easy move-in JOHNDORF Ventures Corporation (JVC) has simplified the process for new homeowners at Granvia Suites to move in within just three months after they close their reservations, announced the company. Moreover, a homeowner gets a rebate worth two months of one’s equity should one would already take out the purchased condominium unit with the release of one’s loan within six months from reservation. Furthermore, as a way to celebrate the 2016 Chinese New Year of the Fire Monkey, JVC is making it easy for buyers to close their reservations, according to Michele D. Chiu-Bacungan, JVC sales and marketing manager. JVC is giving the offer to hasten the take out of semi-furnished studio and one-to-two bedroom units at Granvia Suites, a completed project near SM City and Xavier University at upper Carmen district, 15 kilometers away from the city center. A 7-storey condominium, Granvia Suites is a low-density residential building with 87 units, 15 on five floors, seven on the top floor adjacent to an open-air roof garden, and five commercial spaces on the ground floor. More than 40 percent of these units have been sold out, mostly to homeowners from elsewhere in Mindanao who found Granvia Suites a halfway home while at work and doing business in Cagayan de Oro City, disclosed Bacungan. Spacious For the remaining

available units that are all ready for occupancy, the new homeowners can move in after paying their respective equity on the third month when they will also have completed a few required documentations, she said. They move in with their units furnished with a bed, sofa, cabinets at the bedroom closet and kitchen, as well as granite countertop, cooktop and range-hood at the kitchen, she added. All condo units are spacious than usual from some 23-square meters for studio units that range from P1.6 million to P1.8 million, and P3.3 million to P3.6 million for units with one to two bedrooms with sizes from 46 to 50 square meters. With the equity pegged at 10 percent of the total cash price (TCP), monthly amortization could range from P9,000 to P12,000, while amortization for the

remaining 90 percent could run between P9,000 to P20,000 a month. JVC grants an outright 10 percent discount to homeowners who will acquire their units on spot cash, on spot payment of equity at 50 percent of the TCP, and also for spot payment of equity, Bacungan disclosed. Back-up Granvia Suites is backed by a generator with 100 percent capacity of its expected maximum load, and is fitted with a fire detection and alarm system that triggers a water sprinkler system fed by a roof-top water tank that supplies water to all units. The building has an elevator that carries 10 persons, and CCTV camera for security monitoring on every floor that is also provided with a garbage room. The ceilings are 2.4 meters above the floor, while the hallways are 1.2-meters

wide. Granvia Suites is built as Cagayan de Oro City has steadily grown, fast becoming a dominant metropolis with more migration into the city noted and expected to increase further in the next few years. Even this early, it

would be essential for one to entertain the idea of living in even just a halfway home as Granvia Suites that is far from the bustles of the city yet near enough for one to practice one’s profession or to undertake one’s daily trade. For more information

CEB off to a flying start in 2016 Flies 1.6M passengers in January

The Philippines’ leading airline, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), carried more than 1.6 million passengers on domestic and international flights in January 2016. This represents passenger growth of nearly 13% over the same month in 2015. CEB achieved a record 86% seat load factor for the first month

of the year. On January 3, the Cebu Pacific Air group carried 62,947 passengers—the highest number of passengers it has ever carried on a single day. The surge in passengers choosing to fly CEB continues to be driven by strong loads on the airline’s ever increasing international network and strong domestic sales.

Based on internal estimates, CEB holds 58% of the total domestic market share for January 2016. “We thank our valued guests for allowing CEB to bring them and their loved ones closer together. We will continue to expand our network and flight frequency to meet the growing demand for air travel,” said Atty. JR Mantaring, CEB VP for

Corporate Affairs. The airline’s record passenger loads continue into the first half of February, with over 1.1 million guests flown from February 1 to February 21—a 19% growth versus the same period last year. CEB offers flights to a network of over 90 routes on 64 destinations, spanning Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. It

How do you solve a problem like El Nino? Farmers to presidentiables:

By Hazel Tanchuling guest blogger

greenpeace . org

According to experts, El Nino is a cyclical event that is caused by the warming of the eastern equatorial part of the Pacific Ocean. Its effect in the Philippines is dry (below normal rainfall), warm (slightly higher temperature than normal) and lesser number of tropical cyclones/typhoons resulting in drought or near drought conditions. Typically, El Nino happens at irregular intervals of 3–7 years and lasts nine months to two years. It is not a moving system like a typhoon. El Nino is normally predicted a long time before it even makes any impact to a country. Its slow onset provides a longer lead time to prepare for possible negative impacts than any other weather condition, such as, a tropical cyclone. As early as November 2014, PAGASA, our national meteorological agency has already released dry condition advisory and by March 2015, announced the onset of El Nino. It started as weak and eventually forecasted to be a strong El Nino by the latter part of 2015. Reports of parched lands, burnt fields, crop losses, and food shortages, especially in Mindanao, have recently made headlines almost on a weekly basis. Stories of a farmer committing suicide and another farmer losing his sanity were attributed to many months of drought in the Southern Philippines, particularly in the Maguindanao province. Maguindanao was predicted to be one of the hardest hit areas for this 2015-2016 El Nino event. It comes at an opportune time and place, but the first ever Presidential debate on agriculture will happen on February 21 in Mindanao, the place where farmers are reeling from the impacts of El Nino. What are the plans

of the candidates to solve these problems by farmers now and in the future? Where and what form of government support should take place? With a year to prepare, what has been done by the current government to proactively manage potential risks of El Nino? For the Presidential candidates, how do they envision the future of Filipino food and agriculture given the challenges posed by events such as El Nino? Unfortunately, President Benigno Aquino III only approved the Php 19 billion budget for El Nino last December 11, 2015, and the funds are yet to be released. 2015: Significant Rainfall Reduction Sample climate data from PAGASA provincial stations in Bohol and Cotabato reveal an overall reduction of rainfall for the year compared to their normal rainfall over the last 30 years. Bohol is especially vulnerable, being an island

with highly limited irrigation services. Meanwhile, Cotabato is the nearest station to some of the areas where reported El Nino impacts are most severe. El Nino, despite being a slow onset hazard, can be as disastrous as a typhoon. The most severe El Nino events affecting the Philippines were the 1982-1983, 1997-98 and 2009-2010 events. Total losses in terms of production value are in the billions of pesos. The 2009-2010 El Nino damage and losses to agriculture production reached Php 17.4 billion (US$ 365M) and affected 555,000 hectares of crops and livelihoods. The 19971998 El Nino event’s impacts were more widespread, affecting 677,441 hectares of crops and livelihoods. A seasonal crop production loss can potentially reduce a poor farming family’s ability to survive for the next 4-5 months and beyond. It can further put them to indebtedness and tie

them down to dependency. Thus it is essential to make farmers El Nino ready and resilient. How do we make farmers El Nino ready? El Nino develops slowly, so a climate-based warning on a daily, most importantly weekly and seasonal basis becomes highly important. The daily and weekly farm management, informed by weather forecast, are important tools to effectively manage the slowly developing possible effects of El Nino. Rice Watch and Action Network (R1) has been at the forefront of building climate resilient farms in different parts of the country (insert link to video). Aside from localizing climate information and making these available to farmers, R1 assists farming communities to establish community-based varietal seed trials, a municipal seed production and buffer stocking program and community based organic fertilizer production. This

will improve self-reliance in seeds and ensure availability of locally adapted farm production materials in times of need. Many farmers can attest that organically fertilized farms have proven to be more resilient during dry conditions as it helps improve water-holding capacities of soils. On a more strategic direction, public investments ought be directed in setting up more rainwater harvesting systems. The country’s rainfall provides more than 600 billion tons[1] of rainfall per year but most just drain away and often causes devastating floods. Thus, it is important to collect and manage water both at community and household level to make it more useful especially in areas with very limited water endowment. And this should happen way before the onset of El Nino. Along with these practical ideas, farmers need to transform their values and attitude. Our farmers will

need to be more observant and nurturing. To manage the farm better, they will need to visit their farm more often, know the risks of their livelihoods to particular weather and be equipped with practical, sustainable and ecological risks management ideas to save or protect his livelihood. In the Philippines, the local governments should play a vital role in ensuring this, being the primary agency that should provide frontline agriculture services. But now more than ever, we need a strong policy direction from the next President and Department of Agriculture Secretary for a climate resilient and ecological food and agriculture system. This election season, our farmers ask our Presidential candidates: how do you solve a problem like El Nino? –––––––– Hazel Tanchuling is a Coordinator for Rice Watch and Action Network.

RDC-X pushes key infra projects to consolidate regional competitiveness By Mike Baños Editor-at-large

the Iligan City barangays of Sta. Filomena, San Roque, Bonbonon, Digkilaan and Rogongon. The other section at Talakag town in the province of Bukidnon is Ticalaan-Iligan Road, also a national primary road. “This road will cut travel time between the two destinations by at least one hour for private vehicles and two hours for public utility vehicles,” Balondo said. “But the benefits will redound to people even beyond these points like Davao, Misamis Occidental and Zamboanga regions for whom this project would result in tremendous saving in travel time and costs.” Meantime, it was learned that the local government units of Misamis Oriental, Laguindingan and Alubijid had already submitted to RDC-10 their resolutions in support of the proposed Laguindingan port zone delineation. Ayala Corporation has similarly expressed its support by indicating its willingness to donate the required land area for the seaport and access road. RDC10 secretariat has already commented on the draft deed of donation through the PMED staff and PPA PMO-Misamis Oriental/ CDO. DPWH-10 still has to conduct a parcellary survey of the approximately

491,745 square meters or 50 hectares needed for the project as requested by PPA PMO-Misamis Oriental/ CDO since the technical description is needed by Ayala Corp. to finalize its Deed of Donation. DENR-10 is also slated to conduct an actual ground survey of the project area to ensure the proposed port would not adversely affect the ecosystems (corals and seagrass) within the area. As an adjunct to the proposed Laguindingan port, DPWH-10 has already conducted a parcellary survey and identified affected improvements for the proposed port access road. Assessment of the affected improvements including houses and trees would be completed by March 15, 2016 with the technical description to be forwarded to Ayala Corp. for the finalization of the Deed of Donation to DPWH-X. Not the least, the resolution asking NEDA Central Office for technical and funding support for the proposed Northern Mindanao Regional Transport Master Plan has been forwarded to the NEDA Infrastructure staff and is now being reviewed for possible Official Development Assistance (ODA) support. Resolutions approved during the 107th Full Council meeting presided by RDC-X Co-Chair

The Regional Development Council of Region X followed up on a slew of key measures to strengthen the infrastructure connectivity of the region and improve its competitiveness during the 107th RDC-X Full Council meeting held 16 February 2016 in Cagayan de Oro City.

Regional Director Teresita Depeňoso discussed the accomplishment on the three major final outputs – land tenure services, program beneficiaries development, and agrarian legal services. In the same briefing, Wisnu Bima Samudra, Land Use Management Analyst, presented the Indonesian land use policies and regulations as well as the functions of the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning. The audience included the senior officials of DAR-10 from the regional and provincial offices. DAR officials then joined the Indonesian guests to La-

pad, Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental in the afternoon. The visitors had the chance to meet and interact with the officers and members of Lapad Agrarian Reform Farmers’ Cooperative (LARFACO) and had a taste of their locally-produced corn coffee. LARFACO officials also showed sample finished products out of their bamboo node production to the delight of the Indonesian guests. In the evening of the same day, the visitors were treated with songs and traditional dances during the fellowship and cultural night with a special appearance of the Mayor of Cagayan de Oro Oscar Moreno. Moreno officially welcomed the Indonesian guests to Cagayan de Oro, dubbed as the City of

Golden Friendship. On the third day of the visit, the delegation together with selected DAR officials went to Bukidnon to meet the officers and members of PANAW Sumilao Multipurpose Cooperative in Sumilao, where the famous “Walk for Land, Walk for Justice” march to Manila originated. In the afternoon, the delegation then proceeded to visit the Del Monte Employees Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries’ Cooperative in Manolo Fortich. During the visit to Bukidnon, the delegates were updated on the situation of the above-mentioned cooperatives before the CARP implementation as well as on their present status. (Ressan Nash N.

Teacher quality, key to a successful education By ZOSILIT B. MABALE Teacher I/School-in-Charge Sulo Elementary School Sulo, San Juan, Balingasag, Misamis Oriental

TEACHER quality matters. In fact, it is the most important school-related factor influencing student achievement. That is why the quality of a teacher directly affects his or her effectiveness which can be translated to the grades of the students. It is unarguable that the prestige of the institution a teacher has graduated has a positive effect on student achievement, particularly at the secondary level. This may partially be a reflection of the cognitive ability

of the teacher. Research also found out that teachers who have earned advanced degrees have a positive impact on science achievements when the degrees earned were in these subjects. So the question now lies. Are qualified teachers really quality teachers? Admittedly, teaching is one of the most complicated jobs today. It demands broad knowledge of subject matter, curriculum and standards as well as emotional characteristics – enthusiasm, a caring attitude and a love

of learning. Then there is knowledge of discipline and classroom management techniques as well as a desire to make a difference in the lives of young people. Quality teachers set high expectations for their students. They expect all of them in the classroom to achieve and they don’t give up on underachievers. This breed of teachers likewise have clear, written-out objectives. Effective teachers have lesson plans that give students a clear idea of what they will be learning, what the assignments are and what the grading policy is.

who have no mass media both online and printed ones tend to be the losers. The best strategy in overcoming the situation like that is the present government. They should regulate clearly the campaigns. The schedules and the places for the campaign should be better managed. This is intended to reduce the black campaign that is too degrading. The laws related to information transaction both electronically and in printed way should be regulated. Such regulations should be committed by all the groups and their candidates. This is for avoiding the more accumulated black campaign during the campaign period. It is only the present government who can make a good policy for overcoming the social chaos. The present government should regularly monitor the campaign process. They should establish a neutral and independent team for controlling this social chaos. It is not for a certain candidate but also for all candidates and their supporters. If there is no regulation committed by all parties, social chaos will come up any time. *** Dr. Djuwari Sarkawi is the Director of Language Laboratory, STIE Perbanas Surabaya.

government units (LGUs) in five categories: Highly Urbanized Cities, Component Cities, 1st & 2nd Class municipalities,

3rd to 6th class municipalities and provinces. To get the Most Competitive Provinces, NCC introduced a new method to rank the qualified provinces for the index. For a province to qualify in the ranking, the combined population of all participating LGUs under the province should constitute at least 60% of the Total Provincial Population. A total of 68 out of 81 provinces qualified for provincial ranking. For those provinces which qualified, the scoring was calculated as the population and income weighted average of the LGUs covered. Scores of the LGUs covered were aggregated. Scores were based on Overall Scores of participating Cities and Municipalities in the province and not the category scores. Following this framework, the Province of Cebu got the third place, Province of Misamis Oriental got the second place, and the province of Davao Del Sur was awarded the most competitive province for 2015. “We already have a reputation to protect and we should make sure that we will be submitting updated figures on investment, and all related data that is required in the CMCI survey,” PD Pabillore said.

from page A1 (PCOO) Secretary Sonny Coloma made this assurance following a Pulse Asia survey which said 39 percent of Filipinos are expecting cheating in the elections. “We are one with the Commission on Elections in its objective to assure an orderly, peaceful and clean election in May. We have to address the fears regarding the allegation that there might be cheating in the elections,” Coloma told Malacañang media. In 2010, Coloma said the government changed the election system from manual to automated to make sure that all the votes will be counted. “The people are expecting that the system will be improve to eliminate the actual or alleged ways to cheat the election,” he said. Coloma said there is also a need to strengthen the education campaign for the public particularly the voters to get inform and understand fully the automated voting system and to eventually wipe away doubts on the integrity of the system. On the request by senatorial aspirant Richard Gordon to the Supreme Court to require Comelec to print ballot receipts, Coloma said the Comelec had previously explained that the printing of such receipts “present more disadvantages than advantages, in terms of possible vote-buying and actual

lengthening of voting hours.” “As an independent constitutional body, the Comelec is tasked with ensuring the integrity and credibility of elections. Now, it is up to the Supreme Court to act as final arbiter in disputes of this nature,” Coloma said. Coloma, meanwhile, said the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) continued to monitor the election hotspots following series of attacks by the New People’s Army (NPA) rebels on the government forces. “The government will not be shaken by any threat that armed groups might sow,” he said. Based on the Pulse Asia survey held two weeks before the election campaign started last Feb. 10, four of 10 Filipinos believed that cheating might possibly happen. The survey also found out that 48 percent of Filipinos believe that the May 9 polls “will be clean and the results credible because the counting of votes is automated,” while 34 percent were undecided.

“After flag ceremony, we distributed seedlings to all department heads. We went to the City Legal Office to update and we found out that the veto was already signed,” Fuertes said. Last January 19, the City Council approved on third and final reading the amendment that was criticized by the Green Davao Coalition for failing to consult with the stakeholders and bypassing the Local Zoning Review Committee. Vague, ambiguous, and ‘ultra veris’ Fuertes said they came to know that Duterte would veto the measure when an IDIS volunteer, Rey Anthony Sapid, asked the mayor after the presidential debate held at the Capitol University in Cagayan de Oro City on Sunday evening. “There is a legal block there. It is beyond the power of the City Council to amend certain provisions of the national law. Yan ang ayaw ng City Legal Office, you will amend somehow provisions of the national law, which cannot be done because we are just local government,” he said in a voice clip forwarded to MindaNews by IDIS. In his three-page veto message released on Monday, the mayor said the amended version was “vague and ambiguous, prejudicial to public interest and an exercise of legislative power in ultra veris (beyond the powers).” He added that he was “particularly disturbed with the legal issues/dilemma resulting from the amendment introduced.” “The amended Ordinance is vague and ambiguous. It is not clear whether, in the development of green spaces, this shall be done within the allotted open space of the proponent, set back areas of home lots or sidewalk strips based on PD 957 or BP220 design

standards,” he said. (Presidential Decree 957 is about “regulating the sale of subdivision lots and condominiums” while Batas Pambansa 220 is about “establish[ing] and promulgat[ing] different levels of standards and technical requirements for economic and socialized housing projects in urban and rural areas.”) “It is also prejudicial to public interest and an exercise of legislative power in ‘ultra veris’. This is manifested by the use of the modal verb ‘shall’, connoting a mandatory requirement for the turnover of these green spaces to the homeowners association for proper maintenance. There is now the unwarranted burden of maintaining the green space, passed on to the homeowners association, which exceeds the requirement of PD 1216, (which states) only parks and playgrounds of the entire open space may be donated to homeowners associations,” he stated. (Presidential Decree 1216: “Defining ‘open space’ in residential subdivisions and amending section 31 of PD No. 957 requiring subdivision owners to provide road alleys, sidewalks and reserve open space for parks or recreational use.” ‘No to override’ Ateneo de Davao University (ADDU) president Fr. Joel Tabora thanked Mayor Duterte in his Twitter account on Monday, “for listening to people on #green spaces issue in Davao.” Asked for comment, Mylai Santos, executive director of Ecoteneo of ADDU, said the veto “is another Davao pride: a vote of good governance. A governance that is intelligent, legitimate, responsive and truly for the people.” She urged the public to press the council not to override the veto. “No to override. This is really for the sustainability of Davao City. We are leading in terms of the implementation good ordinances – firecracker ban and anti-smoking,” Santos said. She also countered the previous statements of Vice Mayor Paolo Z. Duterte and Councilors Diosdado Mahipus and Bernard Al-ag that the 10-percent green space was not removed but integrated only to the 30-percent open space. “The roads and other amenities of the developers have already taken up a big percentage. What would be left to the green space?” Santos asked. In a press conference last February 8, Santos said a green space can be a home to wildlife animals like birds and an effective carbon sink to sequester carbon dioxide in the air. “Our councilors might have forgotten, but we have not forgotten them… Let’s remind them,” she said. Legal means If the council overrides the veto, Fuertes said they will resort to filing a case in the local court.

“We don’t want to resort to legal battle but we are heading that way, that being our last resort,” she said. Santos said they will file a case, if ever, against the Council on substantive and procedural grounds. Paolo vs Acosta Fuertes also came to the defense of Councilor Mabel Sunga-Acosta from allegations by Vice Mayor Duterte that she was fueling the outcry of the environmentalists. “From the start, her decision was ‘no’. Since we have the same stand, we helped each other out. It’s not that she influenced. We are a different group. We know how to think on our own. If we don’t really care for the environment, we will not take action,” she said. “I do not deserve the treatment that I got from my colleagues. Shabby, unfair, and uncalled for, it was. It is not necessary for everybody to like me, but my position as an elected representative of the people deserves respect,” Acosta said in statement issued on February 19. Acosta said that she was not a member of the Committee of Rules, Privileges, and Ordinances, chaired by Councilor Bernard Alag, and the Committee on Housing, under Councilor Victorio U. Advincula, that handled the item and that she only knew that the environmentalists were not consulted on the issue after the second reading. “I did not know that the views and voices of environmental groups were not heard at all the whole time. I did not know that they were not given the chance to participate in the legislative process. I was as surprised as they were,” she said. 30% open space, no more green space Vice Mayor Duterte said it was stated in the revised CLUP that the green space provision was not deleted but rather incorporated only in the 30-percent open space. Acosta objected to such move because she does not want the green space to be incorporated in the 30 percent, as this area is allotted for roads, drainage, water and energy facilities, community facilities, amenities “that may have been promised by the developer, like club house or multipurpose hall, gym, basketball court,

A15

parks, playground.” “In the 30-percent open space, a large part of it is already eaten up by roads and drainage. Only a fraction of it would be left for community facilities for homeowners,” she said. The mayor said the amended provision was vague, ambiguous, and ultra veris, which means beyond power of local legislative department to override 30-percent green space provision as provided for in the national law. Under the amended ordinance, Section 13 states that “for land development projects within the City of Davao which are socio condition of roads, streets, bridges, public buildings, and other public works under their control of supervision.” “Thus, the amended measure unnecessarily makes the City Government of Davao liable for the damages that may arise from the negligence of homeowners association or their representatives. In such an event, the City will be forced to disburse public funds to cover the indemnity for damages resulting from the acts of the homeowners associations or its representatives to which it has no control over,” he stated.

The Xavier Stage (TXS), a resident repertory company of Xavier University, closes their Advocacy Theater on Peace, Good Governance, and Positive Discipline – the company’s 5th theater season – with Rody Vera’s

PINATAY SI MAYOR, in celebration of the National Arts Month. TXS previously staged Gamutin Ang Bayan, a twinbill production on peace and Philippine politics, in September 2015; and Istoryahi Lang Ko, a musical that featured

positive child discipline, in December 2015, with a restaging last January. Rody Vera’s PINATAY SI MAYOR is a musical satire about voters’ education and Philippine elections. What seems to be a promising future for the townspeople of Talon Pikit was shattered when their newly elected mayor was murdered before he could assume office. Officials could not point out the motive or the killer. Could it be that the murder

is linked to politics? Or was it a personal issue? Is the killer one of the townspeople of Talon Pikit, or a political rival? In line with their Advocacy Theater, the Xavier Stage hopes to share the message: VOTE WISELY AND BE VILIGANT AFTER ELECTIONS. PINATAY SI MAYOR features Ms. Muriel Lomadilla as the incumbent Mayor Vangie Palaban, one of the suspects in the

murder. The ensemble cast is a combination of experienced and new actors from the TXS resident pool of artists. The play premiers at 7:30PM on Friday, February 22, 2016 at the Xavier University Little Theater. Ticket prices are at Php100.00 for the premier and Php 75.00 for regular shows. Playdates are listed below. • February 22, 2016, 7:30PM – Premier • February 23, 2016,
