Capitol, STEAG launch new developments in tourism sites By Irene Joy B. Dayo
T
he provincial government of Misamis Oriental, in collaboration with its private organization partners, has conducted a groundbreaking ceremony to finally mark the start of construction of a multimillion projects. The groundbreaking was held September 23, 2014 in two different sites in Jasaan, Misamis Oriental. Agutayan White Island in Jasaan is the location site of Agutayan Reef Watchtower. It is a 6.6-million project, funded by STEAG State Power Inc. as a part of its contribution to the social and environmental protection programs for its host communities. According to STEAG, it will help in enhancing the Jasaan local government unit’s capability for environmental monitoring and environmental laws enforcement in the area. In addition, the project will also address the ecotourism drive of the provincial government. The tower will be a twostorey structure, having 83.92 square meters that include observation room, viewing decks, lantern room and catwalk. It is expected to be completed by December this year.

A groundbreaking ceremony on Agutayan Reef Watchtower project was held in Agutayan White Island in Barangay Jampason, Jasaan, Misamis Oriental, September 23, 2014. It aims to provide monitoring and to secure that rules and regulations are applied in its premises. In addition, the project is expected to provide jobs and long-term livelihood to its residents. Other than Agutayan White Island is Sagpulon Falls site development project that was also introduced in the same date at Brgy. San Isidro of the town. The groundbreaking in Agutayan was led by Misamis Oriental Governor Bambi Emano and STEAG State Power Inc. Manager, Dr. Carsten Evers. SUPPLIED PHOTO
marine monitoring will be conducted in the area premises. Aside from Agutayan Reef Watchtower, a site development project in Sagpulon Falls in San Isidro, Jasaan also became a part of the groundbreaking held in the town. It is a 10-million development project funded by Philippine Tourism Authority.
This project includes construction on function hall, room rentals and shower and rest rooms. Governor Bambi Emano expressed his gratitude to the partner organizations for the collaboration that aimed to develop tourism site in the province, specifically in Jasaan town. “Through these projects, our dream for
the province is becoming a reality,” he said. The governor, under his flagship, develops and promotes sites that can bring jobs and provide livelihood to the residents. “With the rich resources and fertile land, we still have people who can’t eat three times a day. These projects are more than just to be projects, these are livelihood
projects,” he ended. Further, Governor Emano challenged the Jasaan people in terms of maintenance and sustainability because once they failed to protect the sites; tourists will no longer come back in their place. Jasaan municipal administrator and former mayor, Engr. Redentor S. Jardin, in behalf of Mayor
Grace Jardin, thanked the provincial government and partners for choosing Jasaan sites as beneficiary of development projects. He committed that in their lead, residents will protect the sites. For the Sagpulon Falls site development project, the province targets first quarter of 2015 for it to be completed.
Ecological Agriculture. Greenpeace along with its partner organizations launched its nationwide project dubbed as Yes to Ecological Agriculture Diversity Fair in Cagayan de Oro City. It took place at Centrio Mall from September 19, 2014 and concluded on Sunday, September 21. The fair displayed various organic products such as organic rice, corn and peanuts. The project seeks to promote ecological agriculture in the Philippines to ensure nutrition and food security. Moreover, this discourages individuals on instant and processed food that are loaded with artificial flavors, additives, pesticides, harmful chemicals and especially, genetically modified organisms (GMOs). GMOs pose risks to human health and are harmful to the environment. The fair will be rolled out in key cities in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Photos by Irene Dayo

Second chances? Murder & Mystery:
H
ave you ever done something wrong and felt that there is no way out? Have you ever made a bad decision and felt that your world is falling apart? Have you ever messed up and wished that you can start all over again? We have all felt that one time or another. If only I had a second chance … “I would have prayed many times before deciding who to marry.” “I would not have wasted my money in gambling.” “I would have obeyed my parents.” There are so many things that we used to hope will happen but never did. In other words, some people live in regret. I can still remember when I entered a business deal which I thought was an opportunity of a lifetime but turned out to be a nightmare. Instead of making money, I lost a lot and it even pushed me into debt. I was so stressed out and I felt that my world was falling apart. Night after night before I went to sleep, there were voices whispering into my mind: “It is all your fault. You are so dumb. Why would you risk everything without counting the consequences? You deserve this! I started to live in guilt, shame, and depression, and even blamed myself for the wrong decision that I made. If you ever felt this way, you are not alone. Then again, these were the questions that haunted me when I was in that dilemma: Do I still have hope? Will I still be given a second chance in life? Have you ever wished that you will be granted a s second chance in life? If you are in search of second chances, allow me to share with you how I was able to recover from a major failure. FACE THE MUSIC Do not run away from the problem but face it. Running away from it is never a solution; it will just prolong the agony and pain. My family and I were watching the movie “WE BOUGHT A ZOO” by awardwinning actor Matt Damon. One principle that guided him throughout his life whenever he was afraid was to just muster “20 SECONDS OF BRAVERY.” All you need

have to go through this journey alone. Knowing that others also went through what you are going through brings relief, and learning how others have walked it off can greatly help your healing and moving-on process.
TAN by CHINKEE
to be is to be brave and courageous for only 20 SECONDS. Once and for all, face your fear for only 20 seconds. All of us need to have that moment of 20 SECONDS OF BRAVERY. What is one thing that has been holding you back from facing your worst fear? Which do you think is worse: to face the ire of your angry creditors or live in hiding for the rest of your life? What do you think is the worst thing that can happen if you face your biggest fear? You have more to gain than to lose. FOCUS ON THE GOOD, NOT THE BAD Do not focus on what you have lost but focus on what you can gain. If your boyfriend cheated on you, why don’t you be thankful that you learned it even before you got married instead of focusing on the pain of betrayal? If you got fired from your job, why don’t you look at it as an opportunity for you to start your own enterprise instead of going into a self-pity mode? Instead of making others rich, you can make yourself rich. If you just lost your biggest client, why don’t you tell yourself that it is not your loss but theirs instead of sinking into the feeling of rejection? Moving on is just like getting up after you fall. ASK FOR HELP No man is an island. You need people or a support group that can help you to walk it off. There are some people who have been there and done that. You do not
TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY If ever you see me begging around the streets of Metro Manila, ask me: “Chinkee, what happened to you?” I may say, “It is a good thing you asked. My parents, friends, relatives, officemates, and partners never helped and supported me. They are the reasons why I am a total failure today.” If ever I say those things, you know what you need to tell me. “Chinkee, the reason why you are the person that you are today because that is the way you chose to be.” We cannot blame others for the life we are living today; it is our choice. If you want to let go and move on with your life, you are the only person who can make it happen. TRUST GOD Ultimately, you can do your very best but sometimes your best may not be good enough. Moving on is difficult especially when you are the one responsible for making the wrong decision in the past. Your confidence level is at an all-time low, and it seems like you do not have the courage to start and try anything. That is there reason why you need to put your faith and draw your strength from the source. That source is no other than from God because He is a God of second chances. Only God, can give you a fresh start, the power to overcome all type of challenges, the inner strength and confidence you need to start all over again, and the hope to move on. It is time! It is time to move on! THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. Are you ready to move on? Are you ready to face your worst fear? Are you ready to ask for help from others and from God? If you are ready, what are you waiting for? Move on and just do it! Moving on in life is one the best gifts you can give yourself today. Stop living in the past and in the future. Stop living in regret and stop living in fear, worry, doubt, and disbelief.
TXS presents Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians

T
he seemingly innocent title, which is also a famous nursery rhyme, is rather misleading – considering the author is English crime novelist, short story writer, and playwright Agatha Christie. Agatha Christie’s tale of 10 people invited to an isolated place only to find that an unseen person is killing them one by one was also brought to life by British director George Pollock in a 1965 film adaptation. The Xavier Stage (TXS) kicks of its Theatre Season Production with its own adaptation of Ten Little Indians. This time, as translated by Don Pagusara and Directed by Hobart P. Savior, which premiered September 20, at the Xavier University Little Theater (XULT). Xavier Ecoville Project (XEP) coordinator Ryan Madrid gives us an overview of the adaptation: “Ten Little Indians by Agatha Christie, as translated by Don Pagusara, revolves around the intertwined stories of ten seemingly normal individuals: a previously alcoholic but successful doctor, a cold and imposing judge, an attractive and self-confident secretary, an old and mentally unstable former major, a self-assured and adventurous police, an inquisitive and judgmental detective, a cocky and thrill-seeking young adult, a stubbornly conservative and prudish old maid and a hardworking but grouchy husband and wife house help. All strangers have crossed paths in an island resort in Davao Oriental upon the invitation of a certain Mr. and Mrs. Dalisay. Everything was set for a perfect summer holiday. Except, there was no Mr. or Mrs. Dalisay. A strange recorded voice incriminates the ten guests of criminal acts, setting into motion an interrogation that revealed dark secrets and haunted pasts. A supposed fun party turns dangerously bloody as one by one, the guests mysteriously fall to their death to the tune of the ‘Ten Little Soldiers’
nursery rhyme. As the guests realize the danger they are in, they begin to suspect one another. And then it became clear: the madman on a killing spree is one of them! The story evolves into an expanse of thematic suspensions to include guilt, conscience, disbelief and righteousness. As the story develops with its societal undertones in the present day context, the audience will begin to question the thin line between cruelty, justice and the common good.” Director Hobart P. Savior explains the concept of this year’s TXS season: “Misteryo is The Xavier Stage’s detour from its original plan of staging the absurd. The company feels that it has to prepare first its artists as well as its audiences. Staging mystery theatre play is a convenient resort that serves as a better transition before leaping to and engaging with the absurdist’s constructs. Misteryo holds audiences in suspense. A careful rendition of ‘who has done it’ and inquisition leads the audience in finding out who the murderer is and who’s next – a gripping technique that glues the audience makes Misteryo a terror delight. This move aims at approximating their plots into our contemporary murder mystery possibilities. All the productions in this season are written in the Sebuano language.” Misteryo is part of Siete Artes: Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts’ 7th Cultural Season. The Xavier Stage's production of Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians, as translated by Don Pagusara and Directed by Hobart Savior runs from September 20 - 30, 2014 at the Xavier Unviresity Little Theater. Misteryo will also feature Joseph Kesselring’s “Arsenic and Old Lace” as adapted by Roger Garcia in December this year and Frederick Knott’s “Dial M for Murder” as adapted by Don Pagusara in February of 2015.

Why The Loop is the right property investment
A
s the landscape of Cagayan de Oro takes shape as a bustling city with a booming construction industry, investing in real estate has become more attractive than ever. And, there is no better investment than The Loop, the landmark condominium development of Vista Residences in CDO. A key factor that makes The Loop the right property investment is its location. This two-tower, 25-storey development will rise along Rosario Crescent in Limketkai Center, within the city’s central business and commercial district. Situated on a prime location, The Loop's value stands to appreciate parallel to the growth and development of its locale. The more vibrant and attractive the location, the higher chances of the property value to appreciate and yield a long-term profit. This means a higher resale value should the unit-owners opt to sell their properties in the future. The Loop is right at the heart of the city, where all the actions in business, commerce, and leisure take place. It is proximate to public transport, public utilities, as well as places of work and commercial centers. It is within walking distance to malls, banks, cinemas, supermarkets, stores, coffee shops and restaurants. Within a few minutes’ drive or ride are hospitals, places of worship, terminals, public markets, schools and universities. Having all these within easy reach, people will find The Loop an attractive place to live in. The convenient, hassle-free living it offers is ideal to a lot of people, whether they are businesspeople, newlyweds, young families, out-of-towners, students, even retirees or empty-nesters. On top of its location, The Loop’s world-class facilities and amenities are also advantages over other developments. The Canopy at the ground level will house a multi-function hall, an adult swimming pool, a kiddie pool, and a fitness gym. The Sky Gardens at the roof deck offers another place to hang out, with a lounging area adorned with live plants and an expansive view of CDO’s cityscape. With these features, finding tenants will not be a problem. CDO is also expected to have an influx of people, being declared as the second most competitive city in the country this year. The more people coming in, the higher the demand will be for rental properties. The Loop is a very desirable home location and will be in high demand for those looking for a vibrant city life. It will, therefore, provide investors a regular rental income that can cover repayments with some extra for their pockets. With its great potential for capital growth and rental income, The Loop is clearly the right investment property for veteran and rookie investors alike. Whether they rent out their units or choose to live in them, their investment will be worth it. To discuss more of the next best investment, Investors are urged to join The Loop Investors’ Day, happening today, September 26, 2014 at The Loop Business Hub, Rosario Crescent St., Limketkai Center Special outright discounts and treats will be given to new unit owners and a chance to win a trip for 2 to Boracay! For more information you can reach The Loop marketing at telephone numbers 0917-8102445 or 880-3088. You could also check more of the project at http://www.theloopcdo.com.
