Manufacturers want to locate to Davao, but ... DAVAO City -- The Davao City Investments and Promotion Center (DCIPC) has been receiving inquiries from potential investors in manufacturing, but hold back their plans due to the absence of an approved Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) in the city. “We still don’t have a PEZA accredited area here although there is already an identified site,” DCIPC head Ivan Cortez said, adding that there are lots of interests from this (manufacturing) sector. Cortez said the city only has the PEZA-accredited buildings for operation of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) but not an area that would suit the requirements of the manufacturing sector. He noted that the ideal

place in Davao is the area in Sirawan, Toril in the south and Bunawan in the north side of the city. The move, he said, will come from the private sector and the land owner while the government will provide assistance through facilitation. “The manufacturing sector can help sustain generation of employment and this is what we need here,” he said. Meanwhile, Cortez noted a continued interest of putting up investments relating to BPO by availing of the city’s offer for incentives. This, he said, is despite the owners of buildings’ option to design their properties within the requirements of outsourcing operation. He mentioned that the Davao DDBO Resources Inc. is refurbishing its property,

the former Queen’s Cinema at Bonifacio Street, into a BPO building with cost at PhP90.5 million and could generate employment for 309 workers. “The Board in general was appreciative of the project because it brought back to life what used to be a popular movie house into something more economically useful, yet retained its historical charms,” he said. Another property is The Felcris Centrale Phase 1, which is mainly a 10-storey BPO building with mall operations in the first two levels. The total project cost is at PhP731 million. It is expected to generate 3,925 direct and indirect employment opportunities. The project is by Felcris Hotels and Resorts Corporation. “The next phases of the project will involve construc-

tion of condominium towers and a hotel. But the board has not yet approved the application pending corrections on minor technicalities on descriptions. Once corrected, the board will convene again to act on the favorable recommendation of the DCIPC for the approval of the project,” he said. Cortez said some 34,000 jobs were generated from the BPO industry at the end of 2015, as against the previous year with only 20,000, or an increase of 70 percent. Most of those hired, he said, were on voice call centers. (PNA) SCS/LCM/DIGNA D. BANZON/LDP

Mindanao electrical engineers strengthen ranks amid ASEAN integration DAVAO City -- The Association of Professional Electrical Engineers in Mindanao (MAPEE) has elected its new set of officers for 2016 to push through with its vision to standardize the practice of their profession in the region amid the economic integration among the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). MAPEE reelected president Engr. Alexander Bucyo said there’s a need to organize the PEEs to unify them and uphold the integrity in the practice of electrical engineering as they are bracing for the entry of electrical practitioners from the ASEAN region. Organized four years ago, MAPEE was previously named Davao Association of Professional Electrical En-

gineers (DAPEE) but it was renamed later to MAPEE to extend its membership to other areas in Mindanao. At present, MAPEE has 84 members from all over Mindanao, excluding those who passed the PEE licensure exam last December. To further advance the group’s agenda, MAPEE’s elected officers will lead in managing the association for one year. Their selection on Saturday was sanctioned by the designated Commission on Elections (Comelec) composed by PEEs Angel De Vera, national secretary of the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers (IIEE); Leonardo Apalisoc, vice president for internal affairs of IIEE Davao; and Byron Coquilla, IIEE Davao member. The newly-elected officers for 2016 are Engrs. Alexander Buyco; president; Eder Bacus, vice president; Antonio Bautista, secretary; Manuel Ibabao, treasurer; Benjamin Arboso, auditor; and Board of Directors Arthur Escalante and Anastacio Cubos Jr. In their initial meeting, the 2016 MAPEE officers immediately discussed the standardization of the rates of PEE services such as electrical design and consultancy. A committee was also formed in order to fast-track the study and formulation of the rates. (PNA) SCS/LCM/JESSIE L. CASALDA/LDP

DSWD empowers beneficiaries to choose candidates, party Cagayan de Oro City -- All DSWD Personnel of DSWD Field Office 10 are one in recognizing that all Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries are free to decide, choose, and express their beliefs and rights on issues concerning their lives and their communities. DSWD only acts as facilitators on how their voices will be amplified and be heard and be converted into action. This coming local and national elections, Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (Pantawid Pamilya) promotes empowerment of the beneficiaries on active citizenry. Newly installed Regional Director of DSWD Nestor B. Ramos said Pantawid Pamilya promotes the beneficiaries’ rights to participate in the electoral processes, especially, in the coming national elections. During the monthly Family Development Sessions, beneficiaries are enlightened with their critical role in choosing candidates through the active citizenship module. While the prohibition against partisan political activity prevents DSWD personnel from endorsing candidates and political parties, DSWD personnel may still espouse particular principles on good governance, policies on inclusive growth, poverty reduction

BOC deputy commissioner, Intelligence Group, reaching the amount of P9,862, 602 additional duties and taxes. The seized items consist of rice, sugar, used clothing, used truck replacement parts, fireworks, sodium c yanide, bitumen, and other regulated items being implemented by other departments. “Some 30 to 40 containers are still pending for examination. We are estimating to have P40 to P50 million more from these shipments, as soon as our request for additional funds to open the containers will be approved since the importers and brokers with questionable shipment have refused to pay required payments, such as penalty and compliance for

necessary requirements set forth by law,” Enciso said. CIIS-10 is among the top with highest in terms of number of seizures in the country and was commended during the Bureau’s Christmas Party last December 16 in Manila, even as it made history for having strictly enforced Tariff and Customs Code. Based on records, there we re 1 8 7 Inte l l i ge nc e Group issued Alert Orders for the year 2015. However, due to internet connection problem that crop up from time to time, only 186 were received and served by the CIIS-CDO to the concerned BOC district head offices. And, out of the 186 Alert Orders, at least, 87 were issued with warrant of seizures and detention (WSD) and declared abandoned. The remaining others were still pending dispo-

sition while some were already released from Customs’ custody, Enciso said, even as he was thankful for the support of Atty. Ruby Claudia Alameda, acting district collector, Port of Cagayan de Oro, for acting promptly to the alert orders of IG. In his accomplishment rep or t, Enciso recommended the continuous gathering of information regarding the arrival of the following imported commodities, such as used clothing, fuel, rice, used motor vehicle parts and other forms of illicit or fraudulent importation, which comprises the collection of correct and lawful duties and taxes. Enciso said tough year 2016 lies ahead for the IG, since they were told not to sleep on their laurels and to double their efforts this year, instead.

On a related note, the DSWD has vigilantly implemented its Anti-EPAL Campaign to prevent candidates and potitical parties from using DSWD programs and projects for their own purposes. However, this does not mean that the DSWD should hinder the beneficiaries of its programs and projects from participating in the political process. Beneficiaries have the right to support, campaign for, and vote for the candidates and political parties they believe in, as long as they do not do so during official DSWD activities and do not use DSWD resources.

Politics, education, and information asymmetry WHEN we talk about politics, we directly imagine all the government and the high rank officials with their policies they made for the people. As I have reiterated the topic about education, it is always included in the government top program. Even during the political campaign while promoting the ideal leaders or members of the House of Representatives, the topic of education is listed in the vision and mission. People in general understand that education is the key to success for any nation in the world. Without enough education, people in any country will be the objects, not as the subjects of the national development. They tend to have no concern at all about the national development. The ultimate condition is that the people have never taken care of the

government activities with their policies. This is due to the fact that the people have no potentiality to be critical of the system and the policies being made by the government. The more educated the people are, the less the government’s policies are paying attention. In that case, when all policies of a nation have never been “investigated” by the people, the higher information asymmetry level is. The longer the condition in any country like this is, the worse the results of all policies in that country. Implicitly, it is due to the illiteracy of the people in that country. It can be due to the education system in the country. Now that education can lead the people to be more educated, the government should pay attention to it. By having a good edu-

cation, the people in any country can participate in the government national development. They can be the subjects involving in taking care of the nation development. So, it is essential for the government and especially the national leaders to take education into the prominent program for the whole nation. So far, we have eye-witnessed the worldwide, the nations that are left behind in their education levels tend

to be less prosperous. This must be due to the condition that there is no one caring the national development. Eventually, the information asymmetry in the country is very high. Information asymmetry is the condition where the policy makers make the policies, but all tend to be closed. Yet, the policies might be more profitable for a certain group of people— the policy makers. This is because only the policy makers who know information more about the impact of the policy while public do not know it at all. Information asymmetry can take place when there is important policy for public. But, the impact of that policy might lead to better condition only for certain groups, but not the whole people in a country. On this See djuwari, page A11

nis Rodman, threatening to attack over a movie (The Interview starring James Franco and Seth Rogen), forming his own female pop band--have been very controversial and borderline ridiculous--until this moment. This time, the world is not laughing. It almost sounds to me like a spoiled brat trying desperately to catch the cool kids’ attention and in a desperate move throws a large tantrum when everything is

already as delicate as it is. Of course, we all know that it is because of the United States’ enmity toward the isolated Asian country that the peninsula is fueled to aggression and seeks such destructive measures. Kim says of his activities, “The [H-bomb test] is a selfdefensive step for reliably defending the peace on the Korean Peninsula and the regional security from the danger of nuclear war caused by the U.S.-led imperialists.” Consequently, it can also be very well said that the development of an Hbomb makes North Korea even more of a threat in the eyes of the US and perhaps in turn further fuels that animosity. Currently, the media and the scientific community have cast doubt on the validity of the North Korean’s claims given the lack of sufficient evidence displaying an explosion as enormously as an H-bomb

detonation should produce. Nevertheless, the perceived possession of a WMD has gained Pyongyang an advantage, at least in the sense that it has a bit more strategic leverage against the international community-meaning, it’s now going to be a bit harder to deal with. Diplomacy always becomes a bit more challenging when military strength is equal or tilted. Although any military action from Japan, South Korea, or the United States against the country in response to the threat is highly unlikely for there is strategically no benefits to a destabilized East Asia, a security buffer is always a possibility. Beyond security concerns, the economic implications of this supposed detonation are largely disadvantageous to North Korea. Specifically, it is detrimental to the country’s attempts to diversify its investor pool

a big beating, so to speak. Libarios may currently be in the local news for visibility but his presence has not provided much impact to public perception. Libarios has no one but himself to blame since he stays most of the time in Manila where he practices his law profession. The case of Libarios is similar with that of Atty. Jijil Jimenez, a true-blue but non-resident Butuanon, who ran for congressman in 2007 and 2010. As a lawyer whose services were needed in Manila and abroad, Jimenez made his presence felt only a few months before every election. He relied much on supporters and relatives for his campaign. He lost twice to then Congressman Jose

“Joboy” Aquino II. The problems with transient candidates are, they become lost if not ignorant to most burning issues and concerns of the community, and, they lose touch with the people. Their long absence is an indication of indifference and lack of interest. That lack of concern and insensibility are evident by distancing themselves from the community as calamities like floods and conflagrations strike. Since he became Butuan City councilor in 2007, Congressman Fortun has not given his job as government official a glorified label. He considers himself a “government worker” until the present. He takes his job with responsibility, ac-

A transient candidate’s dilemma

Atty, Roan Libarios’s move to wrest from incumbent Congressman Lawrence “Law” Fortun the position of Agusan del Norte First District representative in the May, 2016 political exercise appears to be an electoral battle between a seasoned but battered politician who makes his appearance only during election periods and one who sticks with his constituents through thick and thin. Libarios’s is in his second bid for the position and a return match with Fortun. His first attempt in 2013 was a “disaster” since he won in just one of Butuan City’s 86 barangays.

Senior High School is a part of K to 12 Basic Education system that targets in lifting the educational status of the country through fixing educational gaps and problems and reform the basic education curriculum. Being the final stage of 12-year education cycle, SHS is aiming to produce learners having mastery of basic competencies and

thus, preparing them to higher learning or sending them to a more deliberate path to employment arena and entrepreneurship. K to 12 also aims to produce graduates who are involved and supportive to peace process, especially that a lot of peace issues bombarded the country. These problems should not be hidden in a child’s eyes, because even though he is still young, he should be aware of what is happen-

ing in his surrounding. It is through awareness that makes a person part of his society. Thus, K to 12 offers this Peace Education. According to United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), an international organization that promotes child’s survival, protection and as well education, peace education is a natural tool to prevent conflict and to promote social, economic, and political justice amongst

Becoming an Inspirational Teacher-Mentor By Maria Fidela C. Salvador, Ph.D

Many years back the concept of being a teacher is one who is confine in the classroom doing her work purely as a classroom teacher. Nowadays, teachers play the most important role in every educational institution carrying so many challenges of education like pouring into an empty mind something that will equipped a person with the knowledge, skills and abilities needed for this changing world. One of the aspects of the teaching and learning process is mentoring. It is

about building relationship with our fellow teachers because this will involves sharing ones ideas and at the same touching ones heart. Being a mentor is a tough job and we have to prepare ourselves to be emotionally and psychologically ready to devote our time and effort to help others. A mentor should be a trusted person who is willing to be with his/her mentee in his/her professional journey. He should also be a positive role model especially to new and younger teachers. I realized that the ob-

jective of the mentoring program is to improve the teaching performance. It also helps and supports teachers to manage their own learning so that they can use their potentials and develop their skills to the extent of becoming the person they dream to be. On the other hand, mentoring improves the capacity of the mentees to deal with change. They look at change as an effective way to meet life’s challenges and problems. In this manner, they have the confidence to discover new things and try innovative ways of doing things because they have a mentor who will

guide and support them. Now I come to believe that today’s teachers are the hopes of the 21st century learners, they should be armed with those skills that these generation needs. They should believe in their capacity and in the value of their work so that they can move forward changing young people’s lives by setting themselves as example. According to John Ruskin, “Education… is a painful, continual and difficult work to be done in kindness, by watching, by warning, by praising and above all by example.

Strengthening Indigenous People’s Education Policy By Benecio I. Redulla, Teacher III Salawaga Elementary School District of Opol, Division of Misamis Oriental

As reiterated in Department of Education Order No. 62, s. 2011, that in line with the country’s commitment to achieve its Education for All (EFA) targets and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and in pursuit of the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA), the Department of Education is duly adopting the National Indigenous Peoples Education Policy Framework. This, as the Agency upholds and values education for our Lumad brothers and sisters as they also deserve quality education for their own betterment and for their common good. As the Policy Framework is intended to be an instrument for promoting shared accountability, continuous dialogue, engagement, and partnership among government, IP communities, civil society, and other education stakeholders, further recognizing education as a necessary means to realize other human rights and fundamental freedoms, the DepEd urges the strengthening of its policy on IP education and develop and imple-

ment and IP Education Program. This Program subscribes to the rightsbased approach which gives primary importance to the principles of participation, inclusion, and empowerment. With this, the Division of Misamis Oriental has been ardent and keen in strategizing and implementing actions and programs for the welfare of the IPs through networking education and the basic alike. It is made to sure that basic services and basic education reach remote areas and hinterland barangays in which they live as many IP communities continue to lack access to decent basic social services, they have limited opportunities to engage in the mainstream economy, and suffer social, economic, and political exclusion marginalization. A major factor contributing to their disadvantaged position is the lack of access to culture-responsive basic education. Thus, through structured programs, the Department of Education extends its ways to continue to serve, better serve and best serve our indigenous brothers and sisters.

Honda BeAT Fi eSP Series Ushers the Perfect Way for the Filipino Generation S Not too long ago, driving scooters in the Philippines is considered a luxury or a past time. Scooters were never considered part of the mainstream transportation and they normally thrive within the suburbs - the city streets and subdivisions - but hardly on the main thoroughfares. With the worsening traffic situation in Metro Manila and in key cities in the Philippines, scooters have evolved to become a practical and smart solution to Filipinos for work, school, and for their daily convenient mode of transportation. Honda, being the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, recognizes the growing value and necessity of scooters among Filipinos these days and thus spared no time in introducing this year the new generation of smart and stylish scooters distinctively for the Philippine market. Following the launching of the Click 125i in February as the Premium Scooter, Honda Philippines rolled out the Honda BeAT Fi eSP Series in May and the company has completed its scooter ensemble with the unveiling of the new Zoomer-X, regarded as the

Currently whipping up a storm among Filipino scooter enthusiasts is Honda BeAT Fi eSP Series. Given the positive response of the Generation S to this scooter, it is now being translated to brisk sales in the Philippine market and it is expected that the trend will continue in the months or years ahead. The Honda BeAT Fi eSP Series has been especially developed for the Philippines and serves as the latest iteration to the Honda BeAT scooters. It is actually a giant leap to a whole new level from the features of the groundbreaking BeAT Carb that was ushered in the Philippines not too long ago. What makes the Honda BeAT Fi eSP Series a preferred choice by the Genera-

tion S is its exclusive and industry-revolutionizing feature called the Honda Smart Technology, which the company first introduced to the Honda Click 125i. The technology is currently drawing rave reviews not only from critics but most especially from extremely satisfied customers.

THE global warming observed worldwide may not be true for the Philippines, the state-run weather bureau said. The current hot weather and dry spell are brought by the seasonal El Nino weather – and not by global warming, says Analiza S. Solis, a Senior Weather Specialist at the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). Hot as it was, 2015 wasn’t the hottest year. 2015 was only the fourth warmest year, with a mean temperature 0.82° Celsius above normal, based on PAGASA records from 1951 to last year. 2013 was the hottest, followed by 1998 then 2012, says Anthony Lucero, head of PAGASA’s Climate Information Monitoring and Prediction Section. Worldwide, 2015 was likely to be the warmest on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization, based on its 2011-2015 Warmest Five Year Period record. While there’s a global increase in mean temperature, both on land and ocean worldwide, “it’s not happening in the Philippines.” Solis says, adding that the hot days this December is brought by the El Nino weather. The Fifth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change indicates a global warming of 0.85°C from 1880 to 2012. In the Philippines, it’s just 0.65°C, Solis says, adding it’s even lower when average temperature is based on the period from 1951 to 2010 or 60 years of PAGASA observations. What’s happening is that “night time temperature is now hotter by almost three times,” she explains. It impacts on agriculture because the plant makes its nutrients at night when there’s no solar radiation. Hotter nights will affect this process, she says. In most parts of the country the frequency of hot days and warm nights are increasing at a clip that is “statistically significant,” she points out, adding that most parts of the country are experiencing decreases in See farming, page A11

Expect drought, dry spells due to ‘strong’ El Nino until June IT is now official: the El Nino dry and hot weather will continue to bring drought and dry spells until summer. Recent obser vations show that the sea surface temperature anomalies in the equatorial Pacific are still beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than the average, indicating a “strong El Nino event”, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) declared yesterday. The El Nino weather is “likely to persist until the second quarter of 2016,” said Dr. Vicente B. Malano, PAGASA Administrator. “The adverse impacts include below normal rainfall that could lead to a dry spell and drought conditions in many parts of the country until the first half of 2016.” PA G A S A d e f i n e s “drought”, in the weather sense, as three consecutive months when more than 60 percent reduction from the average has been observed. Drought also occurs when five consecutive months

of below normal rainfall (21 percent to 60 percent reduction from average) has been observed. A dry spell occurs when below normal rainfall (21 percent to 60 percent reduction from average) have been observed for three consecutive months or when two consecutive months of way below normal rainfall (more than 60 percent reduction from average) occur. “El Nino is still there and its impacts will continue,” Malano said in a press briefing, adding that hotter or “warmer than normal” air temperatures are likely to be felt. In response, “PAGASA started cloud seeding operations over Angat Dam even before the two typhoons hit in December,” said Dr. Landrico U. Dalida Jr., PAGASA Deputy Administrator for Operations, adding P79 million has been appropriated for cloud seeding. “We have shifted cloud seeding now to Mindanao and the Visayas which are suffering from drought.” A strong El Nino will

delay the start of the rainy season, coming in July instead of June this year, said Anthony Lucero, head of PAGASA’s Climate Information Monitoring and Prediction Section. The monsoon rains will be weak to the point that rainfall will be “below normal”, extending the dry season, he said. However, despite the dry weather, two to six tropical cyclones may develop or enter the Philippines from now until June, he added. Already, Mindanao and the Visayas have had very little rains, said Dr. Flaviana D. Hilario, PAGASA Deputy Administrator for Research and Development. The “below normal” rains prior to November observed nationwide was interrupted with above normal rains in Luzon in December, especially after typhoons Nona and Onyok occurred in December. “The El Nino expected to will remain strong until February with the probability of below normal rainfall expected from January to

April, leading to drought in 68 provinces by the end of April,” said Lucero. “Slightly warmer than average temperature is expected during the period.” The strong El Nino was first observed in mid-July 2015, growing into a very strong El Nino in November. The chances are “favorable for El Nino gradually decreasing from May to July,” Lucero said. The Northeast Monsoon season experienced from January to March will transition to the Southwest Monsoon and will bring local thunderstorms and tropical cyclones from April to June, he said. Still, 20 percent will likely experience drought 16 provinces, he said. By the end of February, 36 percent of the country affecting 29 provinces will experience drought until the end of February, he said. By the end of March, 44 provinces (42 percent of the country) will experience drought and dry spells. By the end of April, 85 percent of the country, affecting 68 See drought, page A11

“The end of the fossil fuel age.” The enthusiasm came from a delegate after 195 nations agreed at the climate change summit in Paris to limit the rise of global warming to less than 2 degrees Celcius and maybe down to 1.5C. After two weeks of negotiations, the pact is the first to commit all countries to cut carbon emissions. It is partly partly legally binding as in, for example, submitting an emissions reduction goal. A $100-billion funding for poor countries by 2020, however, is not legally binding. Scientists who have analyzed the agreement say it will cut emissions by about half of what is needed to prevent an increase in atmospheric temperatures of 2 degrees Celsius. As a result, all language on the reduction of carbon emissions is essentially voluntary. The deal assigns no concrete reduction targets to any country. Instead, each government has crafted a plan to lower emissions at home based on the country’s domestic politics and economy. The accord uses the language of an existing treaty, the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, to require countries to verify their emissions and to periodically issue tougher domestic plans. “The Paris Agreement is probably the most important international agreement in history,” says Achim Steiner, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Program. “Nations of the world have underlined that climate change is a threat to the security and prosperity of all societies, and can only be addressed through unity of purpose. A sustainable future benefits all of humanity. “This agreement is a testament to the ability of our societies to set aside differences and confront collective challenges for the See end, page A11

You deserved for that purification in life The Gospel of Jesus Christ (January12, 2016Tuesday)Matthew 16:2428”Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?

However, please note that in past elections, the COMELEC has categorized expenses for ongoing DSWD programs, projects and activities as “normal and routine.”; during the 45-day period before Election Day, candidates and their relatives may not, whether directly or indirectly, participate in distributing relief goods to victims of calamities or disasters; during the 45-day period before Election Day, heads of agencies and offices may not hire new employees or create or fill new positions unless with the prior approval of the COMELEC - or promote or increase the remuneration of any employee. Also, Sanchez emphasized that only the DSWD can delist a beneficiary if he or she is not following the conditionalities of the program and that only the DSWD has the authority to de-list beneficiaries if the latter do not comply their coresponsibilities with Pantawid Pamilya. Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program is a social protection measure of the Philippine government that focuses on human capital investment to the poor households in the country. It is a developmental program that uses conditional cash transfers to poor households based on their compliance with verifiable conditions that have been identified and agreed upon by the beneficiaries. The DSWD implements the Pantawid Pamilya, one of the key poverty alleviation programs of the national government. It seeks to contribute in breaking the intergenerational transmission of poverty in the country. It is anchored on the Social Welfare Reform Agenda of the DSWD through the National Sector Support on Social Welfare and Development Reform Project (NSS-SWDRP). Pantawid Pamilya also embodies the vision, mission, and mandate of DSWD, and reinforces DSWD’s role as the lead agency in championing social welfare and development.

Nor has global warming brought stronger typhoons. “The frequency of extreme tropical cyclones with winds over 150 kilometers per hour does not show any significant trend,” she says. “However, the number of strong typhoons is on the rise or in its active phase.” In December, Typhoon Nona was followed right after by Typhoon Onyok and, together with the northeast monsoon rains that flooded Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon, claimed nearly 50 lives, and damaged 300,000 houses, of which 100,000 were totally wrecked. Solis defines climate as “a particular space in the atmosphere, in a particular space in time.” Typically, the Philippines has a humid equatorial climate. “We can get as high as 400 millimeters of rain in a year,” Solis says. In all Philippines, Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur, gets the most rainfall, Gen San in South Cotabato, the least. In most areas “the intensity of rainfall is increasing and becoming more frequent,” she says. PAGASA observations indicate “it is likely that rainfall will increase towards the end

of both 2049 and 2079,” Solis says; rainfall will increase approximately 0.1 millimeter to 0.2 mm/year or as much as 50 percent in 2020-2049 and 2050-2079, especially in the Visayas and parts of central Mindanao. Maximum temperature is likely to increase annually by 3.0° C in 2050-2079. Minimum temperature is likely to increase by 3.0° C each year in 2050-2079, suggesting warmer nights in the future. Daytime temperatures are likely to increase in central to southern Philippines. Days with heavy rainfall and consecutive dry days are likely to increase in most of Luzon; decreases are projected in Cebu and Bukidnon. The Land-Ocean Temperature Index of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in mid-December showed that the global average temperature in November was 1.05 degrees Celsius warmer than the overall average global temperature recorded from 1880 to 2015. It was the second time the monthly index has climbed more than 1 degree Celsius above the average since records began in 1880. A five-year analysis NASA also conducted in November showed that 2011 to 2015 was the hottest five-year period ever recorded. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted in June that 2015 was set to be the hottest on record.SciencePhilippines

from page A4 (other than just China) and realize its industrial plans. The North Korean economy is already struggling as it is with abysmal food shortages and with no improvement in food production. A picture of this economic struggle is the North Korean ghost ships found on Japan’s shores--believed to have been fishermen forced to sail farther away into the sea in the hopes of finding bigger catches. Even with the creation of special economic zones which is supposed to have freer regulations, the H-bomb news paints a hostile tyrannical country, making it absolutely not inviting to foreign investors. Politically, the H-bomb test has had the world pointing fingers. Where China, North Korea’s food and fuel lifelines, blame the United States and its allies for its tough sanctions against the regime, the West on the other hand holds the position that China holds North Korea’s fate in the palm of its hand. The H-bomb test has resulted in Washington’s heightening concern over Pyongyang, and a strained relationship with Beijing--which is still not going to do anything drastic because of North Korea’s geopolitical importance. I think largely in the end, the implications of the H-bomb test is this: a military standoff (as is the case in most WMDpossessing entities), North Korea’s economic stagnation or regression, but most frighteningly is another clash between China and the US--I think this may be where the true drama lies. If North Korea’s goal with the H-bomb test is peace in the Korean peninsula, and larger regional security, then increasing friction between Beijing and Washington is definitely not the way to go.

He surfaced again in the local political scene after succumbing to the courtship launched by Butuan Mayor Jun Amante with the support of Agusan del Norte Governor Angel Amante-Matba. Like Mayor Amante, Libarios has yet to present his plans, programs and priorities. I see a repeat of the 2013 debacle for the transient candidate.

from page A4 matter, people in any country should be educated. When they are educated, they can participate in any national development. Therefore, education is important factor for the nation and the government should pay this factor in their national program. Politics without being backed up by good education for the people will lead to bad condition. All the nations in the world have paid attention to this factor. When people are educated, they are more critical. Eventually, they can try to participate in the national development. By having the educated people, the national development can be dragged into the right direction. Implicitly, the more the people are educated, the less information asymmetry in the country is.

All policies for public interest must be led to the right direction. And, this requires the involvement of the whole people in the country. In order to get the people who can get involved in the national development, they must be given better education. *** Dr. Djuwari Sarkawi is the Director of Language Laboratory, STIE Perbanas Surabaya.

from page A1 Mayor Caesar Ian Acenas, also confirmed the CA’s granting of the preliminary injunction Moreno. Gan, however, lamented the CA’s failure to hear the “petition for inhibition” filed by William Guialani and the “Motion for Leave and Intervene” of Vice Mayor Acenas. “We are appalled by the sudden issuance of the writ of preliminary injunction without the hearing the side of the complainant,” Gan said. He said that William Guialani reportedly filed the comment about the injunction only on Monday afternoon, to beat the five-day deadline. “It appears that the CA did not read the complainant’s comment about Moreno’s petition for the writ of preliminary injunction,” Gan said. He said that it would be now up to the people of Cagayan de Oro on how to handle the CA’s dispensation of justice here. Since Thursday last week, throngs of people picketed at the vicinity of the CA at the Julio Pacana St. here to urge the CA to set aside Moreno’s petition for permanent injunction. The Ombudsman has ordered Moreno and City Treasurer Glenn Banez dismissed from service and perpetual disqualification to hold office for Grave Misconduct last August 14, 2015. The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) served the order dismissing Moreno on November 12, 2015. Moreno, however, petitioned the CA for temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the Ombudsman from implementing the dismissal order. The CA granted Moreno a 60-day TRO on Nov. 13, 2015. The TRO was supposed to end on January 12, 2016. Moreno filed the petition

ILIGAN City--Power stakeholders in Mindanao have seen a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, following the commitment of Lanao del Sur Governor Bombit Adiong to help resolve the problem on roadright-of-way. According to Engr. Emmanuel Abellanosa, department head of the department head of the Mindanao Operations and Maintenance of the NGCP, confirmed the conduct of the high level meeting held last Monday. The meeting was attended by officials from the National Power Corporation, Transco and Gov. Adiong at the Napocor Office to discuss measures on how to resolve the problem of repairing Tower 25, which was bombed last month by lawless elements, at Rasain, Marawi City. At least, 15 towers were bombed last year. for a writ of preliminary injunction in December last year in order to continue to serve as Mayor even if the TRO ends on January 12, 2016. Last December, William Guialani, the main complainant, also filed a petition with the Supreme Court asking the high court to stop the implementation of the TRO. The SC has yet to act on the petition. A certain Carmelo Atoc, of Carmen, Cagayan De Oro City also filed “a disbarment proceeding” against the three associate justices who signed the 60-day TRO in favor Moreno last December 29, 2015. Gan said that the two associate justices who were subjects of the disbarment complaint were no longer signatories to the writ of preliminary injunction released Monday afternoon.

from page A1 Pacana St., this city since Thursday last week. The court had earlier issued the TRO because it “found reasonable ground to believe that the Office of the Ombudsman may have violated Moreno’s right of due process.” Lawyer Dale Bryan Mordeno, Moreno’s legal counsel, explained

Abellanosa said Gov. Adiong has vowed to intervene to help resolve the problem with the landowners, who refuses entry to their property to resume repair of the toppled tower. Agus 1 and 2 has ceased to function following the bombing of Tower 25 by lawless elements last month. Mindanao has been experiencing unstable power from the grid due to the bombings, road-right-ofway issues, maintenance works of power plants and receding water due to the El Nino phenomenon. In fact, last Monday, NGCP hoisted a red alert status after the reserved power went zero. NGCP warned that if unabated, further bombing incidents may prevent customers from enjoying uninterrupted electricity. Since October 30, 2015, the projected system deficiency was 150 MW, lengthening the power interruptions endured by some areas. that a preliminary injunction will take effect until the CA rules on their petition to dismiss the August 1 4, 2015 decision of the Office of the Ombudsman dismissing the mayor from his post and perpetually banning him to hold any public office in the country. Once the CA rules in Moreno’s favor, a permanent injunction would then be granted. Moreno had also earlier filed a motion before the Ombudsman to reconsider its August decision. But Mordeno said that if either the CA or the Ombudsman could not act on their petitions before Moreno’s term ends on June 30, the Ombudsman dismissal order “would die its natural death.” In a separate interview, Councilor Leon Gan said he is surprised by the CA decision since the court failed to take account the motion to intervene filed by Acenas last Thursday on the then pending petition. It was learned that the only respondents to the petition cited by Moreno in his appeal before the CA were the Office of the Ombudsman and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) which served the Ombudsman’s dismissal order last November 12 and made Acenas decide to ascent as mayor.
