WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR CHRISTMAS BONUS? http://www.chinkeetan.com/

Power Forum: Can IMEM dampen brownouts during summer? (Part 2)

By MIKE BAÑOS, Editor-at-Large

your Christmas Bonus.

TAN

by CHINKEE

Christmas is one of the most anticipated times of the year.

A time for celebration; reunions, time for giving, and sharing.

Most Pinoys look forward to and even start to celebrate the Christmas season even before the month of December (September or October).

If you’re working, it is expected that you will receive the mandated 13th month pay aside from your Christmas bonus— depending on how generous your company is. The one that will set your financial status in the future is dependent on what you do with the extra income you’ll receive.

The sad part for some is that, instead of using the bonus to make their life easier, it just made their life harder and even more complicated. Some even have loaned money in advance because they can’t wait for their bonuses. This is one of the worst financial practices that anyone can have. In other words, they’ve already spent the money that they haven’t received yet. It’s like counting the chicken before they hatched.

“But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first getting estimates and then checking to see if there is enough money to pay the bills?”

SAVE As the old saying goes, “It is not how much money you make, but how much you save.”

If you make P100, 000 a month but your lifestyle costs to P120, 000 a month, then you will be living in debt and in lack. On the contrary, if you make P15,000 a month and living within your income, then you will be debt free and will also have savings.

What do you think is the best option to take? Option A or B? I assume your answer is the same as mine, Option B. But how come some people would prefer to take option A? You make more and you have the power to buy more.

As your income increases, your expenses increase too! As your salary gets bigger, your standard of living gets higher also.

You make less and you have less opportunity to buy more.

Didn’t you realize, the more you make money, the more you spend?

Let’s be wise in making the most of every opportunity to save, for a better future.

Always think long-term rather than short-term.

“The wise man saves for the future, but the foolish man spends what he gets.” Proverbs 21:20 To be continued tomorrow...

On its own, D’ Punisher Loko Productions sponsored an on-the-spot airbrush award and handed it to three car owners and one motorcycle owner. Because of this, the winning participants were awed and surprised with the onthe-spot category.

“Let me point out that the harmfulness of the IMEM comes mainly from the fact that it will enable the PSALM-NPC to charge the excess generation of the NPC-owned Agus and Pulangi hydroelectric power plants at the IMEM price (which could be as high as the price cap of 42 pesos per kWh), instead of delivering this excess generation to power consumers at the ERC-approved rate (around 3.00 pesos per kWh) for all generation from NPC owned and controlled power plants (which is what is happening now without the IMEM),” said Engr. David A. Tauli, president and spokesperson of the Mindanao Coalition of Power Consumers (MCPC).

MCPC is a broad based coalition of private utilities, electric cooperatives, industries, consumers and local government units dedicated to providing cheap, affordable and reliable electricity to power

it was their first time in Cagayan de Oro. The competition was participated by car enthusiasts from all over Mindanao. They come all the way from Iligan, Dipolog, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Pagadian, Kidapawan and Butuan.

Various vehicles entered the event such as heavily-modified pickups, tuner cars, cars loaded with full setup audio and cars representing various auto dealers here.

The event was very successful and organized properly with food served for the participants for two days not ot mention the grand fireworks display before the start of the awarding courtesy of D’ Punisher Loko Productions.

This is so far one of the best events that happened in CDO and will definitely expect another blast this 2015.

users in Mindanao.

“It is this adverse effect of the IMEM that DOE has failed to explain to us on what happens to the excess generation of hydro plants before and after, or with and without, the IMEM,” Tauli added.

“Everything that DOE does is how to squeeze more payments in power from us all, they are not doing anything to improve the Agus - Pulangui complex because there is none for them in there and they want to make it deteriorate further by withholding the maintenance budget to ultimately reduce its overall capacity,” said Engr.

Norberto J. Older, president of the Iligan City-based Lanao Power Consumers Federation (LAPOCOF).”

“With that, DOE/PSALM can pursue the privatization, at which case, it would still be the Aboitiz or the Alcatraz who are just waiting, that will get them, just like the two power barges.

This modified IMEM is just another (expletive deleted).”

“We maintain our strong opposition on the operation of the IMEM until supply exceeds demand,” said Engr. Nestor B. Degoma, chairman of the Power Alternative Agenda in Mindanao (PALAG-Mindanao). “This situation may still to come at the earliest, 2016, when Therma South Inc. and Sarangani Energy will hopefully be on-stream, with their combined capacity addition of 500MW to the Mindanao Grid.”

“The best thing DOE could do this 2015, especially during the summer months, is to appeal with Big Commercial and Industrial firms to implement the Interruptible Load Program(ILP) with standby generators/power plants and advice DUs with embedded Power Plant/s and or Modular Genset to prepare and condition their Units for the dry months, rather than prematurely implement IMEM,”

he added.

Degoma said some private DUs and rural electric cooperatives in Mindanao already have in place Modular Gensets and or contracted or owned embedded power plants, with a combined capacity of around 200-300MW, that if properly coordinated by DOE could arrest the much-feared power shortage next year.”

Meantime, the Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperatives (AMRECO) maintains its opposition to the IMEM centers on the acceptability of its settlement of billings with the electric cooperatives.

The IMEM is mandated

by DOE Department Circular No. DC2013-01-0001 dated 09 January 2013 pursuant to DOE’s mandate in ensuring reliability, quality and supply of electric power under Republic Act No. 9136 also known as the Electric Power Industry Reform Actof 2001 or EPIRA.

2015 will be the Year of the Goat in the Chinese zodiac. According to Chinese astrology, goats are intensely inquisitive and intelligent. The Chinese have deduced this because they have observed that goats are well coordinated and can climb and keep their balance in precarious places. Thus, a person born in 2015 should be a good doctor. A goatee (I mean a person who is born in the Year of the Goat) is said to be setting his/her own hours and will not tolerate too much discipline. They are also very offended if they are criticized. They cannot work well under pressure and must be al-

lowed to do things at their own speed. Goats usually find someone to look after and care for them.

Now before we turn this column into something dedicated for goat people, we now unveil a sneak peek into what lies ahead of us. Foremost on the list is the release of Jurassic World, the fourth installment in the series, which will be shown starting Independence Day in the Philippines i.e. June 12.

Whether Steven Spielberg will not pull up again another War of the Worlds surprise and disappoint us still remains to be seen.

But I’m definitely looking forward for this film come

June.

Before we get too excited and enumerate the other surefire box office hits of 2015, we now steer this column into a local direction. As early as January, a lot of events are already slated in CDO. Foremost on the list is the January 21 to 22 visit here of acclaimed indie director Brillante Mendoza.

Indie film enthusiasts in CDO will once again get starstruck at their hero and get a morale boost and some fresh lecturing.

Also in January will be the 2nd Kuyamis Festival in Misamis Oriental. The province will celebrate its 76th anniversary with a

lot of tourism hype.

On the Love Month of February, Lourdes College will once again celebrate its Foundation Days with their 87th alumni homecoming in a Glee-inspired celebration. Liceo de Cagayan University will have her own blast as the institution celebrates its 60th year in existence. Liceans can really shout Adelante! and sing in unison “With voices proud and sweet we all hail……” Word also has it that an international cruise ship coming in from Europe will swing by the Port of Cagayan de Oro

by February en route to its other Pacific destinations.

Daily HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - Putting your calendar in order sounds like a sensible thing to do today, but it may be challenging to follow through with your original plans when so many people seem to want a piece of your day.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - Although your relatives might not understand your unpredictable behavior now, they are willing to put up with it until they determine if your plan is worth supporting. However, your current impatience seems out of place since no one else is in a hurry.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - You have important things to say, but aren’t sure how to work your newly formed ideas into the flow. Don’t give up; your smartest strategy now is to let someone prattle on about a personal interest and then politely change the subject when the conversation lulls.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - You are lulled into a surreal mental space today, but the emotionally detached Aquarius Moon inspires you to use your intellect to interpret the mysterious symbols of your dreams.

However, this logical approach may be a dead-end strategy because rational analysis won’t likely uncover any hidden meanings.

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - You don’t want to be distracted by anyone now because you’re trying to figure out how to navigate the current time crunch. Ultimately, you can create additional stress by concentrating on the future before you respond to a more immediate situation first.

Special Gospel of the day: Luke 10:1-9- Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the laborers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire.

Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you: This gospel encourages us to pray for more laborers in His vineyard to build the kingdom of God

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - Living in your dreamworld was fine for a little escape, but it’s time to reclaim your power now by telling others what you want.

Nevertheless, it’s not a good idea to let your personal preferences stand in the way of your enjoyment today.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - You won’t be satisfied with social pleasantries today unless they connect you with your friends and relatives on a deeper emotional level. However, your manner of expressing your needs can sound overly complex to others, prompting them to make a hasty retreat.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - You may believe you have a practical strategy to complete your chores before indulging in any holiday festivities today. However, your idealistic solution might fall apart once you start executing your plans.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - You want to spend quality time with friends and family, but you resent the fact that they expect you to contribute to the day in specific ways. Your personal needs may diverge from those of the group, creating a gulf between you and others.

NIKKA JAVONILLO

Mixing beauty and kickboxing

By MARK FRANCISCO, Assistant Lifestyle Editor

T

wenty-one-year old Nikka Florence Javonillo has quite an impressive resume in the entertainment arena.

She was third runner-up in Miss Teen Kagay-an 2011. She used to emcee in various Rotaract and Sangguniang Kabataan events.

She used to host her own weekly magazine at Magnum Radio 99.9. She used to sing and compose songs and even released an original music video. But now, Nikka is in a different arena – the kickboxing arena.

This red-haired Civil Engineering dudette from Xavier University initially

started as a swimmer during her Sacred Heart of Jesus Montessori School (SHJMS) days but shifted to kickboxing in sometime in 2012. Initially, it was a form of de-stresser, a hobby and a sweaty exercise combined.

“At that time and even until now, sikat man gud ang UFC. Ug mao pud nag ako na-tripan so here I am,” Nikka quips.

But Nikka and her chums from the Xavier University Mixed Martial Arts Association (XUMMA) decided to up the ante and form their own gym. Gladiator MMA was born and it is now a drop

zone for MMA enthusiasts from Xavier University as well as Nikka’s buddies from the Rotaract Club of West Cagayan de Oro. So how does Nikka spends her daily routine now beyond her engineering studies? First, she does an hour of warm-ups such as sit-ups, crunches, leg raises, planks, cardios and plyometrics. And then the real deal starts – two hours of kickboxing with trainers Victor “Gladiator” Torre (for which the gym was named) and Perkins “Predator” Calixto (an import from Iloilo pirated

by Gladiator MMA).

So what did Nikka

earn from kickboxing?

“A firm body but most of all, the values that I have gained – discipline, pride and boosting self-esteem.

Unsaay kaya sa lalaki, kaya pud namo mga girls,” she says.

Is Nikka ready to be the next Gina Carano of CDO? “Layo pa na, that needs a lot of intensive training. For now, I am happy where I am,” she adds. That includes inviting more young MMA enthusiasts

from Cagayan de Oro to check out her gym located at Chaves-Capistrano.

Indeed this lady will go places. In 2011 during the Miss Teen Kagay-an pageant, she said, "I am joining this contest because I want to represent our Barangay as their youth role model. This is also a one way to explore a teenager's abilities and to make a difference in myself.” Way to go, Nikka!
