BUTUAN City -- There are three things to improve productivity in cacao – knowledge, hardwork and attitude. This was according to Valentine Turtur, Executive Director of Cacao Industry Development Association of Mindanao, Inc. (CIDSAMI) during the Regional Cacao Industry Promotion and Investment Forum cum Planning Workshop on June 22, 2016 here. Cacao is now a trending crop, being talked about everywhere in the world because of declining production and its increasing demand in the global market. According to recent

Carlos Isagani Zarate expressed optimism that the passage of Bayan Muna’s Social Security System (SSS) pension bill can now be fast-tracked in the 17th Congress so that pensioners will finally “received the long delayed benefit due them.” “When the 16th Congress closed, more than 130 congressmen supported the resolution to override the unjust and callous veto of former Pres.

Creation of technical working group for Cha-cha urged Iloilo City Congressman Jerry Trenas yesterday , proposed the immediate creation of a technical working group which would consolidate and filter proposals that are in line with the administration’s effort to change the system of government from the president presidential bicameral form of government to federal presidential bicameral form. Trenas said that this would reduce the time that is consumed on debates on the actual provisions that are going to be included in the list of amendments
that will be finally approved for deliberation either in a Constitutional Convention (Concon) or Constituent Assembly (Conass) “We can actually reduce the time that will be consumed on committee hearings on the proposal for federalization if we already set the parameters on what to amend and what would be kept untouched even before we start deliberating on the proposal to amend the constitution,” Trenas said.

Lawmakers vowed to pursue the proposed revised National Apprenticeship Program when the 17th Congress convenes in July. Authors recall that the House of Representatives passed HB 5303 on final reading in early 2015 but the revised apprenticeship program, for lack of material time, never got the Senate’s nod. “Government must sustain its programs providing skills and opportunities to the country’s youth as the backbone of national development,” the principal authors stressed. “The main objective
of the bill is to reform the national apprenticeship program by providing the youth with skills and access to employment, and provide enterprises with a mechanism to ensure a continuous supply of skilled manpower,” the authors said. The bill, expected to be re-introduced in the 17th Congress and pass through the usual legislative process, seeks to repeal Chapters 1 and II of Title II of Presidential Decree No. 442, as amended, otherwise known as the Labor Code of the Philippines. The consolidated
A re-elected lawmaker is not giving up on his advocacy for the State to exempt the family home from real property tax. “While the State recognizes the Filipino family as the foundation of the nation, it should also build a solid mantle protecting the family home,” Rep. Salvio B. Fortuno (5th District, Camarines Sur) explained. The Camarines Sur lawmaker had been pushing for HB 1649 during the just
concretize the mandate of the State to promote the Filipino family as the foundation of the nation, there is need to protect the family home, the place where charity and love begin and all the positive traits of the human being develop and blossom to be great builders of society. “The stark reality prevailing in our midst has certainly forced some of our countrymen to give last priority or nothing more left
to pay for the real property tax that ultimately leads, in worst cases, to foreclosure of their family home,” he pointed out. Fortuno explained that, under this circumstance, the aforementioned Constitutional guarantee will be rendered meaningless because the very same State which recognizes the family home as the foundation of the nation will be the same State which will foreclose

The Filipino Home should be exempt from real property tax concluded 16th Congress but, to his regret, time took its toll on his initiative. “I am confident the 17th Congress will have all the opportunity to take an urgent look into this basic but very important economic and fundamental concern that affects every Filipino family,” said Fortuno, who is expected to re-file his pet bill this July. The author is proposing to exempt the family home from the coverage of real
property tax by amending Chapter 2, Articles 153, 155 and 157 of the Family Code of the Philippines as contained in Executive Order No. 209 as amended. “ The Family home, constituted jointly by the husband and the wife or bay an unmarried head of family, is the dwelling house where they and their family resides, and the land on which it is situated.” the Family Code states: The author said that to

Military on alert following killing of lumad leader By Joey Sem G. Dalumpines of PIA-11
DAVAO City -- The military leadership has warned the soldiers and supporters in the fight against insurgency to heighten their guard against the assassinations being conducted by the armed lawless elements. The warning was issued following the gunning down of Datu Ruben Labawan, an Ata tribe leader of Paquibato District and his companion Romeo Tanio while riding a motorcycle by five men who were also
tailing them on board two separate motorbikes 4:30 in the afternoon Wednesday at the national highway, Barangay Credu, Panabo City, Davao del Norte. Labawan was a staunchanti-communist IP leader and was ambushed three years ago in Paquibato District by heavily armed men but survived the attempt. Colonel Ricardo Nepomuceno, commander of the 1003rd Infantry Brigade called the act as treacherous. He also and further questioned the sincerity of the
communist movement in the resumption of the peace talks. Nepomuceno expressed concern over the possibility of a “pangayaw” or retaliatory attack by the victims’ family members against the perpetrators and their families. However, he said that the military will take appropriate action to avoid further bloodshed among the members of the indigenous community. Major General Rafael Valencia, commander of
the 10th Infantry Division expressed his sorrow on the death of Datu Ruben. “Datu Ruben had been actively working with the government in identifying programs which could help alleviate the socio-economic condition of our lumad brothers and sisters in Davao City,” he said. The 1003rd Brigade dispatched soldiers to conduct pursuit operations and alerted all its units to tighten security measures. (PIA 11-Joey Sem G. Dalumpines)
an internet facility in doing their assignments and reports. Dela Peña said DOST’s Starbooks System is a laudable initiative that already received a Presidential citation from the American Library Association for Innovative International Library Projects last June. Dela Peña wished that such private-public partnership will be a model for other private companies particularly for education and health initiatives which are also the priorities of the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte. The DOST-TSI project is part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of TSI, which operates the coal-fired power plant in Binugao, Toril. It aims to improve libraries of the host community high schools in Binugao and Inawayan TSI’s CSR manager Jason
Magnaye said that among the components of the project were the renovation of the school libraries into reading hubs and installing science and technology e-library portals using the Starbooks system in each of the schools. TSI and Aboitiz Foundation will finance the cost of the renovation activities and the computer hardware amounting to Php 712,000. Magnaye said the project is set for completion in September, the month being observed as the National Literacy Month. Lacson urged beneficiaryschools to take care of the project and make use of it to benefit the children. He is committed to give the schools more support if the project produces good results in terms of enhanced education. Inawayan High School principal Efren Butlig said the Starbooks project will
help the students explore science and technology. “Binugao is a remote area. They (students) can now experience what is in the 21st century,” said Butlig, adding that the project is a realization of a dream. Binugao National High School has a total of 632 high school students who can benefit the project. Inwayawan High School principal Imelda Cañada said the project would be a great help for the rest of the school years. She said TSI has been helping them given the meager resources of DepEd to improve competency of the teachers and students and the school facilities. Both Butlig and Canada are committed to open the library not only for the teachers and students but also for the members of the community for their research and assignments.(PNA)
COMPOSTELA VALLEY PROVINCE -- The provincial government headed by Governor Jayvee Tyron L. Uy together with the provincial officials and the PG Department heads receive two (2) Dental Mobile Unit (Mini Bus) from the Department of Health (DOH) on July 4, 2016 at the Capitol Lobby during the Employees Regular Monday Convocation Program. Attending the turn-over ceremony were representatives from the DOH Dr. Annabelle P. Yumang-Assistant DOH Regional Director, Dr. Raul De Losa-Oral Health Program Manager DOH Region XI, and Dr. Annie P. Larosa- Provincial DOH Officer. Also gracing the occasion are Dr. Mary Cyrel G. Pasaol-OIC Provincial Health Officer, Sangguniang Panlalawigan members, PG Department Heads headed
by Provincial Administrator Virgilia S. Allones and the Provincial Employees. According to Dr. Yumang, the DOH is serious in providing health services not only on the medical side but also for the dental services. “Kung atong tan awon tanang tao adunay ngipon, so we must also provide services for them because kung magsakit atong ulo naghuna-huna ba ta nga ang atong ngipon ang hinungdan? But if we go to a dentist, makita nila nga this headache is also related to your tooth,” said Yumang. “We hope that with these mobile units, we can address the oral problems in our society because this is the number one problem kay daghan ta ug mga daut nga ngipon labi na sa atuang mga kabataan. This is not intended only for the children but also for the adult that needs dental attention
throughout the province.” “I am also glad that with this 2 dental units from the DOH, the government of Comval gives supports for this as a counterpart, kay dili sayon ang pagkuha didto kung wala maghatag ug supurta ang Comval. With that we can see that there is sharing of resources para kaning butanga mahimo natong atua aron atong magamit,” she added. Meanwhile, Governor Uy is very much happy that the province receives this kind of project which will be used for the Provincial Health Office. “We expect 1 mobile unit only to come but we’re glad and lucky that the DOH gives us two units of mobile bus which will be assigned to the first and second district especially in the mountainous areas for our dental operation,”

Agusan Sur solon grants P10M to STEP BUTUAN City -- “Some P10 million worth of scholarship slots will be allocated to the Special Training for Employment Program (STEP) in Agusan del Sur.” This was the statement of TESDA-Caraga’s former regional director Florencio F.

BUTUAN City -- A senior police official here said that the regional police here will further intensify its campaign against illegal drugs and other illegal activities in line with the mandate of President Rodrigo R. Duterte and their new PNP chief Director General Ronald Dela Rosa, a senior police official said in an interview on Tuesday. Supt. Michael Lozada, Police Regional Office 13 (Caraga) spokesperson, said that with the recent surrenders of the suspected drug personalities, the conduct of
raids and apprehensions of subjects of illegal drugs, the volume of drugs confiscated and other indicators may point out that the PNP’s “Double Barrel” Campaign concept is working. Lozada explained that the PNP’s “Double Barrel” concept focused not only in fighting crimes but also to cleanse the PNP ranks of scalawags and involvement on illegal drugs. Lozada said that the expectations set by the President and the new PNP chief was doable here in the region.(PNA)

ZAMB OANGA City -The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has announced that indigent senior citizens aged 60 years and above may now apply to avail of the agency’s Social Pension Program. Lei Madeline Espiritusanto, DSWD regional information officer, told the Philippines News Agency the application can be submitted to the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) or at the Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA). Eligible to apply are the following: indigent senior citizens 60 years old and
above; and senior citizens without pension from the Social Security System (SSS) or Government Service Insurance System (GSIS). They are advised to bring with them their Senior Citizen identification card and certificate of indigency when they submit their application documents. Espiritusanto said the applicants will be assessed by the social workers and will endorse the application to the DSWD regional office for final approval. They are entitled to receive PHP1,500 social pension per quarter. However, Espiritusanto said the qualified applicants
are not expected to immediately start receiving pension since they will be included in the pensioners’ waitlist. “They will wait until such time there will be replacement which happens by death or delisting of senior citizen pensioners,” she said. She said they will be waitlisted since the funds of the DSWD intended for Social Pension Program have already been apportioned to the program’s pensioners. The existing social pensions are aged 65 and above. She said there are a total of 81,251 social pensioners aged 65 and above in Region 9. (PNA)
PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur -- Local government officials to include the barangay officials as well as police personnel in the nearby town of Dumingag have been ordered to undergo drug test. The order to undergo drug test issued by newlyelected Dumingag Mayor Mark Pacalioga was the first directive of the official upon his assumption of office.
Pacalioga said the move is in support to the campaign of President Rodrigo Duterte against the proliferation of prohibited drugs. Butch Cabilan, Dumingag municipal administrator, and the members of the municipal council have immediately submitted themselves to drug test just after the issuance of the order. Cabilan said the move
showed they fully support the anti-drug campaign of the town mayor. Pacalioga and his father Vice Mayor Nacianceno Pacalioga and the entire police force of Dumingag are scheduled to undergo drug test next week. It will be recalled that the first two batches of “drug personalities” consisting of 20 people to surrender

to gas up. Cagayan de Orobased Geo Gas is part of the burgeoning independent players in the market. In fact this early, family patriarch George Gordiel announced that he would build six more gas stations in the future in and outside Cagayan de Oro. Independent oil players such as Geo Gas are able to compete vis-à-vis their major oil player-counterparts through a combination of savvy marketing strategies and investment in outlets which have a ready source of inexpensive yet high-qualify fuel products. Diesel, unleaded and premium are available at both Geo Gas outlets in Vilarin and Kauswagan. They also sell Castrol products exclusively.

Come to Him for rescue light if possible because the road is not smooth but very rough. Most of us are walking in the rough roads of our individual destination. This gospel is the same with the statements of St. Augustine,” my heart is restless until it rests on you Lord.” There are many times that we are tired of doing many things since we want to have all things that may result to stress instead
of happiness. Did you experience physical sickness? The answer is yes and we want to come to hospital for medication and proper rest. Do you have spiritual sickness? Therefore, you need to have a spiritual medication and rest in the presence of God for more strength. What is irony: people are very particular in physical treatment but not in spiritual medication. On
the other hand, there are many times that we are overloaded of our daily tasks and obligations along our journey towards eternity. What we must do? Let us release and reject some things that block our destiny. Do not allow anything to block your way because if you love your service to God, love conquers all.

Fostering good teacher-pupils relationship By Djhonnale L. Aleria, Principal I Sta. Cruz Elementary School District of Tagoloan
As the learners are considered as the most important factor in a classroom setting, it is a but of significance also that teachers must establish good relationship with their pupils, not only the pupils but also their parents, the community, and the other stakeholders as well. Every start of the school year, pupils tend to have another set of subject teachers and a new class adviser, as they progress their educational attainment at school. Every year, new teacher and new classmates. Thus, it compensates that pupils
must adjust to the surroundings, as well as with the people they get to learn with. And, to some it may be easy as one, two and three but to some also, it may be as hard as trigonometry. Moreover, in the quest to foster good teacher-pupil relationship, a School Head should always be of anchor in the every endeavour they will go through and encounter. Here, to intensify and foster a harmonious and good relationship between the teacher and the pupils, a teacher must initiate activities that would strengthen
the bond between. Take for example, at the start of the school year, at the first day of classes, teachers must promote a responsive environment, an approachable one and of course a happy one, so that pupils would be comfortable upon communicating with the teachers. If the teacher shows some not good aura at start, tendency is that the pupils would somehow get intimated and shy and worst, they won’t talked with the teacher and will create a first impression that schools are not welcoming. Thus, first thing first is that show to the pupils that a school is the best avenue to learn and that learning is fun and
that the teachers can be considered as the second parents and that teachers do love the pupils. Hence, it is very important that ta first meeting, at first glance, pupils would feel comfortable and welcomed, in this way, parents will have peaceful minds as well knowing that their child employs good relationship with their teacher. In Sta. Cruz Elementary School, we make it sure that the learners, the pupils are well-taken cared of and that they will feel secured and they will feel loved, at all times, it is the welfare of our learners that we are much concerned of.

In the heart of Mindanawon artists and cultural workers today is the hope that truly “change in coming” as they assert themselves to make sure Mindanao does not remain peripheral to the flowering of the country’s arts and culture movement given the windows of opportunity that they assume could be provided by the new State dispensation.

2011,” the progressive solon said. “Our optimism is also buoyed by the fact that President Digong Duterte also supported the pension increase; hopefully it will generate the necessary push so that the P2000 SSS pension hike will finally be enacted into law before the year ends,” Rep. Zarate, who also hails from Davao City, said. On top of the SSS pension hike bill, during yesterday’s first filing day of proposed bills and resolutions, Bayan Muna also filed the Genuine Freedom of Information bill, the Lower Income Tax bill, and the Anti-political Dynasty bill, Rep. Zarate said. He added that Bayan Muna also filed House Resolutions for the immediate resumption of the peace talks between the government and National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), the immediate release of political prisoners, a call for a moratorium on coal mining, the investigation of the Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike Project (LLEDP) and the stopping of the privatization of Fabella hospital. “I hope that these legislative measures would immediately be tackled, discussed and passed by the House as they all address the needs and demands of our people that Bayan Muna and, no less than, Pres. Duterte himself vowed to prioritize and serve,” Rep. Zarate said.

supportive of the House Resolution filed by the presumptive House Speaker and Davao del Sur Congressman Pantaleon “Bebot” Alvarez which calls for the convening of a Constitutional Convention to pave the way for federalism. Just like Alvarez, Trenas said that he also thinks that there is a need to decentralize state powers from the central government by allowing “ state governments” to have administrative and fiscal autonomy Under a federalized system, local government units have the discretion to channel their own funds toward their own development instead directing their revenues to the national
government, which in turn gives back only a portion of their earnings through the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA). “In 2015, 35% of the national budget went to Metro Manila even if it represents only 14% of the Philippine population. Under a federal system, government states will be forced to work harder to raise their own revenues instead of depending on IRA and national government subsidy. Hence, they can focus on economic development using their core competencies and unique industries,” Trenas said as he noted that Western Visayas for example can flourish in the field of fisheries and aquaculture, tourism and horticulture. Trenas said that by providing administrative and fiscal autonomy to the country’s so-to-be created federal states, new growth areas outside of Metro Manila would be created. This would not only decongest Metro Manila’s population but would also solve traffic and pollution.

measure was successfully steered in plenary of the 16th Congress by the sponsoring House Committee on Labor and Employment chaired by Davao City reelected Rep. Nograles, with the able plenary defense by the other principal authors. It identifies enterprises with program registered with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) as the entities that can train apprentices instead of employers in highly technical industries only. Likewise, it sets the duration of the training according to the complexity of the skills to be learned by the apprentices thereby expanding the maximum training period of six (6) months only. The proposed enumerate the content of the apprenticeship contract instead of generally stating that it should conform to the rules issued by the Department of Labor and Employment. The proposed law introduces a provision that contributions to the training allowance by government agencies and/or non-government organizations shall be considered in computing the training allowances of apprentices presently placed at seventy-five percent (75%) of the minimum wage. There is also a provision setting the grounds, and the rules and procedure for the termination of the apprenticeship agreement. The proposed amendatory law provides for the issuance of training certificates to apprentices who have completed the apprenticeship program comparable to the completion of a training program in a Technical Vocation Education and Training (TVET) institutions, and
the award of equivalent unit credits in the formal system of education. In addition, the bill provides for a compulsory apprenticeship in certain occupations when national security or requirements of economic development so demand. It also provides as an incentive to participating employers an additional deduction from the gross income, instead of taxable income, on one-half (1/2) of the labor training expenses, provided that a) the employer shall be exempt from the payment of apprenticeship fee, and b) such deduction shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the training allowance of the apprentices instead of the direct labor wages. Furthermore, there is a vital provision requiring participating entities in the apprenticeship program to provide a disability and/or accident insurance policy in favor of the apprentices during the apprenticeship period. The proposed statute states that any violation of the Act or its rules and regulations shall be subject to the general penalty provided for in the Labor Code as amended. Among other penalty clauses, the bill provides that enterprises found offering unregistered apprenticeship programs shall be subjected to program closure proceedings without prejudice to the filing of administrative, criminal or civil liabilities.

from possible wreckage due to economic deprivation by exempting the family home from payment of real property tax,” the author insists. Among others, proposed amendment to Article 153 of the Family code is to read as follows: “Art. 153. The family home is deemed constituted on a house and lot from the time it is occupied as a family residence. From the time of its constitution and so long as any of its beneficiaries actually resides therein, the family home continues to be such, and is exempt from PAYMENT REAL PROPERTY TAX OR ANY OTHER TAX ON REAL PROPERTY, execution, forced sale or attachment except as hereafter provided and to the extent of the value allowed by law.” (amendment in capital letters) Likewise, Article 157 as proposed shall read: “Art 157. The actual value of the family home shall not exceed, at the time of its constitution, the amount of P3-million (from the current P300-thousand) pesos in urban areas, and P500-thousand (from the current P200-thousand) pesos in rural areas, or such amounts as may be fixed by law.” Furthermore, Article 157 states: “In any event, if the value of the currency changes after the adoption of this Code, the value most favorable for the constitution of a family home shall be the basis of evaluation.” “For purposes of this Article, urban areas are deemed to include chartered cities and municipalities whose annual income at least equals that legally required for chartered cities. All others are deemed to be rural areas,” the bill provides.

Advancing the Mindanao arts and culture agenda By KARL GASPAR of MindaNews
DAVAO City -- In the run up to the inauguration of President Rody Duterte, a number of civil society groups had their own summit to bring to the attention of the new administration their concerns for their respective sectors. Thus, there were summits among the groups of women (led by Gabriella), the indigenous people and other sectors. At the national (in Metro Manila) and Mindanao levels (in Davao City) artists and cultural workers also held their summits. The Mindanao Summit of Artists and Cultural Workers was spearheaded by the Musicians and Artists for Duterte (MAD) who convened a DuArts Pista (Makisaya sa Masayang Pangulo) at the Matina Town Square in Davao City on July 1, 2016. More than
textures, sounds and music distinctly Mindanawon. At the forum that began the event attended by the organizers of this event and key cultural workers and artists, there was a discussion on how to advance the agenda of the Mindanao arts and culture sector. A summary of the sharing and discussions as follows: GENERAL PRINCIPLES: We are gathered together with the aspirations to promote Mindanao arts and culture believing that windows of opportunities have arisen because of the Duterte presidency. Since he is from Mindanao and he has a number of advisers from Mindanao, we assume, they would be interested in making sure Mindanao’s arts and culture will be promoted. under the Duterte presi We hope to see a culture- dency, meaning we have based governance system to situate arts within the broader perspective of culture. This means that the entire bureaucracy and not just DepEd should promote culture within its program plan of action (following the example of the Republic of Bhutan). We want Mindanao’s artists and their works (songs, theatre, music, visual arts, films, etc.) be more projected at the national level to counter the dominance of Manila’s imperial hold on culture and the arts. From there, we dream of the projection of Mindanao arts’ expressions to the global stage, so that the growing popularity of Filipino arts will include works from Mindanawon artists. We seek greater collaboration with our colleagues in other parts of the country, and of course, Manila which has the dominance in terms of public and private institutions promoting Pinoy arts. This collaboration should also be between mainstream (celebrities) and peripheral artists so that there is a process of continuing mutuality. As artists and cultural workers need to be provided material support, we FREE Publication of PRESS RELEASES hope that the business and for corporate accounts to marketing side will flourish Mindanao Daily News and as businessmen-artists get BusinessWeek Newspapers involved in making sure that there is sustainabil-
200 individual artists and performing groups (from both the mainstream and peripheral across Mindanao as well as from Manila) joined the First DuArts Pista Festival for performances, art exhibits and a forum. Name known singers, musicians and performers associated with the Mindanao arts movement–Joey Ayala, Popong Landero, Lolita Carbon, Chad Borja, Maan Chua, Gauz Obenza, the Kaliwat, the Kalumon and Kathara and a wide range of bands traversing all kinds of music genres–they were all there jamming with artists among the millennials who are just making their mark. This was truly a gathering of Mindanawon artists and cultural workers from across the various artistic and cultural fields celebrating the best of Mindanawon culture. The whole evening of July 1 echoed with the colors,

ity in support of artists’ needs as well as providing venues and occasions for showcases and festivals. But the business side should be integrated into principles of ecological sustainability that also promote equality and solidarity. SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS: De-centralize the State’s national arts institutions, e.g. NCCA, CCP, etc. so that a) accessibility to grants is facilitated following the principles of federalism, b) cultural initiatives are not determined only from the center but in all other locations in the country where populations converge and there are cultural initiatives from below. In this connection, set up a Mindanao Commission or Agency for Culture and the Arts, located in a city in Mindanao, fully supported by the State with supplementary assistance from the private sector. Thus the need to look into how arts and culture budgets are allocated, to make sure decision-making and giving out grants are not monopolized at the center, namely Manila. Look for ways to build a Center that could be a performing arts center to showcase talents and artistic works in a number of cities in Mindanao. Work with Filscap to promote songwriters and performers, in the way that
it has supported the Cebubased Song Fest. Also look into how the national office could assist Mindanawon songwriters to secure their rights to their songs, etc. Collaborate with other Manila-based groups, institutions and agencies who are interested in partnering with Mindanawon artists and cultural workers, but always in consideration of what Mindanao can specifically offer. Have a directory of artists and cultural workers in Mindanao for easy reference. Tap into social media to promote individuals and groups that could go viral and attract national and international attention. Set up a Facebook wall or any other social media outlet to connect all Mindanawon artists and cultural workers. Ask the organizing committee of this event (Popong, JoAnn, Jack, Danny, Eddie et al) to continue being the Group’s committee to provide follow up to this event through discussions, etc. in the hope that there can be a yearly festival like the DuArts Pista. Meanwhile a group in Manila– composed of Mindanao artists (even those based abroad but were reached through social media), artists, playwrights, art critics and representatives of See agenda, page B7
