The Cagayan de Oro elimination was held last November 25 at Mindanao University of Science and Technology; the Gingoog and Ozamiz elims were held earlier this month. Winners of the three eliminations clashed during the final round held Saturday morning at Primavera.

The task to select the best budding journalists in this part of the country was too tedious that it took a total of 24 judges to choose the best entries – three AWARDS | Page B2

for each category.

Even then, it was a close call to select the cream of the crop.

BWM Group general manager Dr. Rosemary Sudaria, one of the judges, admitted she had a hard time in choosing the winner for the News Writing Contest High School Category as all five finalists presented worthy articles.

Another judge, Jason Lozano of Plan International, lauded BWM Group for initiating the very first tilt in Region 10 recognizing potential journalists at the campus and corporate/ workplace level. BWM Group is the parent company of Mindanao Daily.

Lozano added that these winners would become future partners in the holistic development of Northern Mindanao.

The rest of the judges are the following: Cagayan de Oro Press Club president Hugo “Jerry” Orcullo, Dr. Hazel Jean Abejuela (Bukidnon State University), Italpinas marketing manager Jane Duterte, Manila-based freelance journalist Maelyn BriosoRoa, National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) regional head Froilan Gallardo, RCBC Loans manager Peter Anthony Roa, Atty.

Edda Marie Advincula (Department of Finance), Dr. Ma.

“We have undertaken the challenge to do our own corporate social responsibility, thus this project which we offer with the help of institutions and establishments for building better communities and the betterment of Mindanao,” Sudaria continued.

“We have seen the need to inspire the students who are excellent writers of their schools as well as people in government and the private sectors to join mainstream media whose number I believe is dwindling. We may not have the resources to give monetary awards but we believe that the symbols of excellence are more lasting and noble,” he added.

For his part, project executive director Allan Mediante saw the need for this competition to erase the notion that “freedom of information is a monopoly of commercial and mainstream journalists.”

“This may be one small step for nonmainstream journalists but this may lead to a giant leap in building a better nation through responsible journalism,” Mediante, also editor-in-chief of Mindanao Daily, said.

Inspired by the success this year, he vowed that the next edition of the Mindanao Daily Northern Mindanao Journalism Excellence Awards will be wider in scope.

The 1st Mindanao Daily Northern Mindanao Journalism Excellence Awards is a search for the best nonmainstream media writers of Region 10 in cooperation with the Philippine Press Institute, Oro Chamber and the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro. Awards presenters and sponsors are Plan International, Ayala Corporation, Veterans Bank, D’ Asian Hills Bank, Department of Tourism (DOT) 10, Camella Communities , SM City Cagayan de Oro, Primavera, Twinbee Print Ads and Sandigan Shop Fiberglass, A Brown Company, Inc., Cepalco, Malunggay Pastel.

The publications under BWM Group are Mindanao Daily News, BusinessWeek Mindanao, Mindanao Star and The Cagayan de Oro Times.

DEPED MISAMIS ORIENTAL DIVISION ARAW NG PARANGAL – VICE GOVERNOR JOEY G. PELAEZ invites Ms. Carelle Mangaliag during the 3rd Araw ng Parangal of the Department of Education (DepEd) Division of Misamis Oriental at The Atrium, Limketkai Center, Cagayan de Oro City.

The hardest people to handle are people. This implies on the difficulty of some leader in handling people in an organization. An organization is composed of individual who have different in feelings, emotions, culture and aspirations.

Thus, it is somewhat difficult to handle people than machines or any other else.

In this premise, every organization should have a leader with high emotional intelligence who handles each of the individual with different feelings and emotions.

Moreover, it is also true

to schools, principals are handling people – the teachers just as the teachers are handling the learners – the students with different feelings and aspirations. On this situation, principals and teachers should have awareness and knowledge about emotional intelligence in order for them to be effective in handling people thus constitutes to be more productive in their respective jobs.

Emotional intelligence is not about being nice all the time but it is about being honest. It is about being aware of your feelings and

those of others. It is not being emotional but being smart with your emotion ns.

For the principals, to be effective in their jobs they have to be sensitive to the needs of their teachers, they have to be considerate yet firm and for the teachers, they should have a big HEART, who’s willing to listen to their students’ aspirations.

Ultimately, people doesn’t care how much you know unless they know how much you care. On this thought, everything will going to be easy, in control and in place.

That’s the power of E.I.

Engr. Eric Mammag explaining to the participants the technical standards of the different infra projects to be implemented under PRDP in the region.

PRDP Underway in NorMin Ardent to fast track the implementation of the Philippine Rural Development Project (PRDP), the Department of Agriculture - Regional Field Office 10 (DA RFO-10) conducted the I-BUILD infrastructure technical briefing and subproject proposal review on December 16-17, 2014, here in Cagayan de Oro City.

Engr. Deliza Camaro, PRDP-10 I-BUILD (Intensified Building Up of Infrastructure and Logistics for Development) anchorperson stressed that as of today, Php 743 million worth of subprojects has already been approved and implemented while Php 183 million is on-going dur-

ing its first year of project implementation.

She added that that there are about Php 14.8 billion worth of subprojects on the pipeline for the 2nd year of its project implementation. “The approval of the LGUs indorsed subprojects is based on the value chain study results and expanded vulnerability and sustainability assessment results,” Camaro said.

On the other hand, Engr.

Eric Mammag, Alternate Head, National Project Coordination Office PRDP I-BUILD explained the technical standards for the infrastructure projects such as Farm-to-Market-Road (FMR), potable water sup-

ply, communal irrigation, bridge and other infrastructure projects funded under PRDP. This would be the basis in the implementation of the subprojects.

As agreed during the forum, the participants are expected to submit the requirements needed for the approval of their proposed projects to be implemented in 2015, on or before January 15,2015. There are more than 15 municipalities from the (5) five provinces and the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan in the region attended the review and is expected to submit the project requirements for the approval of their projects on the above said date.

IOs unify for more DA info-related initiatives. Information officers (IOs) of the Department of Agriculture (DA) have a crucial role in disseminating the thrusts of the agency. This was reiterated by Lealyn A. Ramos, Regional Director of the DA-Regional Field Office 10 (RFO 10) during the 4th Quarterly IOs’ Meeting, yesterday, which was attended by the IOs from the department, its attached bureaus and agencies and the provincial local government units (PLGUs). The said meeting primarily tackled on the various proposed info-related activities that the info group would wish to be funded and jointly implemented next year. Considering that the agency has implemented so many projects, Dir. Ramos added that it is an imperative to inform and update the farmers, fisherfolks and the general public on whatever initiatives that the DA has and will be doing for the promotion and development of the agriculture sector, here in Northern Mindanao. She likewise urged the info officers to maximize the use of social media, so as to beef-up the delivery of information services. Dir. Ramos further encouraged the group to ensure the package of successful farmers and fisherfolks’ stories in order to highlight the laudable propellers of the agriculture industry and persuade more people to venture into agri-related undertakings.

UNLEASHING TALENT By: Adefer B. Caño

Leadership is not exactly synonymous to management but both are necessary to have an effective organization. Managers work with process but leaders work with people. As Tom Mullins said “Leaders must be good managers but most managers are not necessary good leaders”. Therefore, Leadership is more than management.

Furthermore, how could a leader be an effective people manager? It is very necessary to leader to have

the skills in dealing and leading people. Take for example, in an educational institution like schools; principals should know t h at e v e r y i n d i v i du a l teacher is an asset that needs to be given extra care and consideration.

Principals should know how to handle every talent of their teachers so that they could express them to the fullest. It is sometimes best to principals that they should let the teachers spread their wings and fly but not to hold them so

tightly. Hence, it is a wise technique of a principal to implement a leadership theme which is to become a leader of leaders not a leader of followers. It is about unleashing the whole person toward inspiring and achieving motivating goals. It is also about finding teachers’ strength, their gifts, their voices and then letting them soar. In so doing, they would be empowered to maximize their full potential for the good of the school and the students.

‘Be RICEponsable’, urges DA. Despite that the agency has regarded the year 2013 as the National Year of Rice, the Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office 10 (DA-RFO 10) continues its pursuit of achieving rice self-sufficiency for the country by urging stakeholders to ‘Be RICEponsable’. Accordingly, around 200 farmers from the municipalities of Misamis Oriental, namely: Kinoguitan, Laguindingan, Balingasag, Opol, Tagoloan and Jasaan recently joined the conduct of an Information Caravan spearheaded by the Regional Agriculture and Fisheries Information Section of the DARFO 10. Anchored on its key message, the agency has mustered the farmer-participants so as to spread the word that everyone has a role to play towards the attainment of the nation’s rice self-sufficiency by not only increasing farmers’ productivity but also by managing the demand side of the staple food crop while improving the income of farmers and promoting better health among rice consumers, at the same time.

Salient points discussed during the information sortie is for the farmer-producers not to waste rice, eat brown rice, eat rice with other staples, persuade policy-makers to create resolutions to serve healthier rice options (Brown Rice and Rice Mix) and create ordinances requiring the serving of half cup of rice and making it the default serving for plated meals. Other important topics discussed include the Technologies and Practices for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation tackled by Mr. Carmelito Lapoot from the Northern Mindanao Agricultural Crops and Livestock Research Complex and the Automated Weather Station by Mr. Dominicio Eleseo of the Information Technology and Management Unit.

That déjà vu called Rizal Day and MMFF PICTURE this: a City Hall employee wakes up at 5:00 in the morning, takes a shower, goes to Divisoria kiosk, checks his attendance, stands erect, sings Lupang Hinirang, watches Mayor Oscar Moreno placing a wreath at the foot of national hero Dr. Jose Rizal’s monument. Then he goes to nearby McDonald’s and chitchats with his co-employees while devouring breakfast.

At 9:00 a.m. while his coemployees are still busy exchanging tales on how they spent their bonuses, our subject texts his wife, “Ga, andama na ang mga bata kay manan-aw ta sine sa SM.” “Unsa nga movie,

ga?” the wife replies. “Kato bitaw’ng naa si Vic Sotto ug Ryzza Mae Dizon kay pangbata, mangatawa ang mga bata.” December 30, 2014? Or it could have been December 30, 2013.

So what else is new?

Tomorrow, Mayor Moreno will once again make a fiery speech about Rizal’s legacy to the nation and connect it with the concerns currently besetting Northern Mindanao. And the kids will again troop to SM, watching a child actress full of baby fat making a scene in front of her onscreen dad.

(In 2013, it was titled My Little Bossings, now the film producers deemed it

CIRCLE A WORD words in bond film titles

casino daylights diamonds eyes forever

folden goldfinger love moonraker octopussy

quantum royale russia secret service

solace spy thunderball tomorrow twice

My Big Bossing to be apt for the sequel.)

In fairness, Ryzza Mae Dizon topped as best child performer during the ceremony held last Saturday.

She grabbed the same honor for the same role during the same festival during the same month but in a different year – 2013. Talk about déjà vu! Whew! Now let’s do a little Michael J. Fox stunt and go to the future in 2025 when Ryzza will be 19 already. And then some nutty film producer would concoct a movie and dub it as My Little Bossing Now Big and by chance MMDA will accommodate it as a Metro Manila Film Festival

entry. Will Ryzza (fats and all) still be eligible for child performer category by that time? Or will she pull up an Isabella de Leon (Vic Sotto’s daughter in Daddy Di Do Du), grow to be an adorable young lady and be declared Best Actress this time? That would really be a crazy world by then…haha!

As one MMDA official declared in 2013, the Metro Manila Film Festival is all about raking in profits, blocking off all the cinemas in the country for one week exclusively each year, because this is their only chance to get even with Hollywood blockbusters. Thus, whatever

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great [is] that darkness: In our gospel, we can see that “Jesus criticized the people of Israel for keeping their treasures” and wealth.

The audience were awed, mesmerized and cannot help but sang the lyrics of their songs as they were enjoined by Jerry, the leader of the sensational band to the upbeat of their music.

They have composed their own OPM songs like Ándito Ako;, Sori Na Lang, and Baboy.

Andito Lang Ako is their single carrier song which will be recorded soon and will be launched in one of their performances. Samples of the three songs were played during the early part of the event and raved the swooning audience with the beat of the much pop rock music.

Sensational 4: Jan, Rey, Mark and Rexie under the tutelage and baton of their dynamic and debonaire Manager JERRY are young home grown musicians whose talents are honed to perfections as they make and play music as their way of life.
