and hunger and it highly involves nutrition. “When a local government unit has developed policies that involved nutritional plans and essential nutrition actions, it shows a commitment and support to health programs and it also dignifies a very good public health status,” Tan said.

Municipalities of Kadingilan and Libona, Bukidnon including the city of Malaybalay are recipients of NHA Award of Merit. Lotis L.

ave you ever asked yourself these following questions: “Why am I still not earning the income that I truly deserve?” “How come everything that I am doing seems not to be working?” “When will I be rich?” Instead of asking and looking at the concerns externally, why don’t you look at it internally? Why don’t we have a MENTAL CHECK-UP? What is a mental checkup? We need to be conscious and aware of what we entertain in our mind. Why don’t we check what’s running inside our mind every day. Are we entertaining negative thoughts or positive thoughts? “Hindi ko kaya.” “Mukha siyang mahirap.” “Paano kung hindi magwork at malugi.” How you think can affect the way you live. In reality, mas mabilis mag-isip ng negatibo kaysa positibo; mas mabilis maghanap ng problema kaysa sa solusyon; mas mabilis magreklamo at maglabas ng sama na loob kaysa magkuntento at magpasalamat. Huwag kang magtaka
kung wala pang nangyayaring maganda sa inyong buhay. Tanungin natin ang ating sarili kung ano ang iniisip natin sa araw-araw. Is it negative or positive? Are we focused on the difficulty rather than the opportunity at hand? If we do not filter and check what we process in our mind, I can assure you, na hindi maganda ang mangyayari sa ating buhay. Mahirap mabuhay kung parati negatib ang ating naiisip. Mabigat itong dalhin. Parang may dalang kang mabigat ng maleta, nakakangalay, nakakapagod, nakakastress! Aminin man natin o hindi, our quality of life is dependent on your quality of thinking. If we always entertain negative thoughts, we will live a negative life. But, if we chose to entertain positive thoughts, we will live a positive life. Have you ever paused for a moment to stop hearing, and start listening to your thoughts in life? What have you been thinking for the past 2 days? Are you thinking negatively or positively? Is it encouraging you or discouraging you? Is this bringing out the

best in you or the worst in you? Are your thoughts pushing you forward or causing you to retreat? Is it creating a quiet environment and an atmosphere that people are comfortable when you are around them? Or is it creating an environment of stress and discomfort? Be careful of what you think every day. Always remember; where the mind goes, the person follows. Check what your mind is thinking because that is where you are heading. THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. Are you heading for the right direction or the wrong one? What is your plan of action to make a U-turn? What are the specific steps that you are going to make to overcome negative thoughts?

Drinking etiquette among college studes this Oktobeer AT Limketkai Bingo Center, there’s a sign that explicitly states, “COLLEGE STUDENTS IN UNIFORM NOT ALLOWED.” Why am I emphasizing this? That’s
because even if one is already of adult age yet still a student (i.e. 18 above), the dignity of the educational institution must be kept intact. There’s nothing wrong with

gambling, drinking or even joining bikini competitions. That’s okay if you’re already out of school. That is still okay even if you’re in school but if you drag the name of the university – especially if it is run by priests…or nuns – then there’s something sensitive here. Not that I’m uber-conservative…heck I’m definitely not…but upholding the name of the entity where you learn your way through a career must be prioritized. So why am I bringing this up? Two column editions back, I said to borrow a Green Day song, “Wake me up when September ends!” Now October is here and there’s only one thing associated with this month – the

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - Are you going to go away soon, Aquarius? If not, you may be planning a trip for another month, perhaps going for educational purposes, such as to attend a workshop. You might have agreed to some overseas business travel. You should feel especially energetic, enthusiastic, and optimistic now. You’ve done well thanks to your diligent work, and you should continue on that path. PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - Instinct and determination drive you toward unconventional plans for making money, Pisces. A finance counselor or other professional could be involved. You may see this as an opportunity to restore your ailing bank account. You may have future purchases in mind, perhaps even a new home. ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - Today you may feel a passionate attraction for someone intelligent who perhaps makes a living in law, education, or publishing, Aries. Conversations with this person could touch on some deep issues, such as spiritual matters, the human psyche, or the nature of the universe. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - This could be a quiet day for you and your partner, Taurus. You could spend some time reflecting on past achievements and future goals. It’s important to get a clear picture about the past so you can draw conclusions and make workable plans. If you have a family, you’ll probably be interested in activities that everyone will enjoy. Make some time to get together.

Daily HOROSCOPE CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - The arrival of a surprise visitor could generate mixed feelings, Cancer. On the one hand, you’re probably glad to resume contact with this person. On the other, because you weren’t expecting any guests, it could create extra work for you - as if you didn’t already have enough on your plate! Recruit others to help with necessary tasks so you can enjoy your evening. LEO (July 23 – August 22) - Someone who’s been ill and perhaps undergone surgery might phone you today, Leo. You could invite this person to join you for a little social gathering. Several people could be involved. All of them will have some interesting and useful information to offer. Natives of Leo in particular might attract your attention.
obviously indulge in beer all year long but during this particular month, beer companies offer promos to entice more customers. Some organize street concerts and rock band tilts, enticing more audiences i.e. the rockers’ fans and all. Others hold beer drinking contests with juicy prizes, either in cash, in kind or in gift certificates. With a barrage of new nightspots opening up in Cagayan de Oro, we will surely embrace Oktobeerfest with panache and flair for the rest of the month. The only problem is I have observed…not once, not twice but multiple times…that there are some female university students who can be seen in their
Mark Francisco college uniform drinking in naked plain sight right across street corners. I’m pretty sure that these students are simply hanging out and have finished their school stuff for the day. But for Pete’s sake, shed the uniform. It is the representation of life’s higher learning. Respect it.

It is a generic celebration of beer drinking all month till Halloween night, whether you’re at home, in pubs, in private get-togethers or just across the street. Oktobeerfest actually started in Germany in 1810 and continues up to this day. That only means the populace of Bavaria has loved the tradition for more than two centuries. The practice is so popular that it has spread to other countries, the Philippines being not in exception. Here in the Philippines, we

But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear “witness” of me, that the Father hath sent me: This gospel reminds us about the mission of Jesus on earth. He came to establish the standard of His Father for us to follow as our “guidelines” for salvation. In Sirach33:11-each one of us has a task to fulfill.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - With the planetary atmosphere today, your sensual nature is in full bloom. If there’s a romantic partner nearby, that person should be on guard! There may be a lot of other people around, so a chance to be alone probably won’t present itself until this evening. If you don’t connect with a potential partner, at least you’ll have a good time. LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - You might have to play nurse today, Libra. A love partner could claim to feel unwell, and you might expend a lot of energy trying to make your friend feel better. Don’t overdo it. There may be psychological factors at work. Your friend could be jealous of the attention you’ve been giving family and friends. SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - You’re generally focused on the material world, Scorpio, but something about the energy generated by today’s planetary alignments causes you to look within. You might think about the joys and pains of past family gatherings and wonder how they affect your life now. This is a positive, healing process, so don’t fight it. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - A group event could put you in contact with a number of people interested in doing a healing meditation for the planet. This sort of activity can work wonders to strengthen the bond among those performing it. You might not talk much during the discussions, but you’re apt to be in total agreement with the idea. Enjoy your day! CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - Happiness reigns in the home as everyone feels the energy changing, Capricorn. It seems that the end of one cycle brings closure, and now you’re free to start a new journey of rebirth. You, above all, are apt to feel a powerful rush of intuition, which could reveal positive events coming up for you and those close to you.

INFUSING ETHNICITY AND MODERNITY
Mindanao silk to showcase at Centrio By MARK FRANCISCO, Assistant Lifestyle Editor ALL PHOTOS COURTESY OF HUDYAKA
WEAVERS of homegrown silk will take the spotlight this October 26 at 5:00 p.m. at Centrio in a modeling show aptly titled Hudyaka Year 2. Led by the indefatigable designer Martha Rodriguez of Vesti, Hudyaka Year 1 took centerstage in October 2012 and exposed Mindanao silk to the world for the first time. This time, Rodriguez intends to up the ante and will highlight the products emanating from Mindanao silk using the creations of the country’s top fashion designers. On that day, designers such as Ann Seblante, Chris Gomez, Joco Commendador, Jun Artajo, Nicole Cabanlet, Shiela Damalaerio will feature on stage their transformed products made solely of silk woven by a women’s cooperative in Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental and other indigenous weavers. Cabanlet of CDOHandmade.com will showcase her series of Earthborn travel journals and notebooks that are 100 percent handmade, tree-free and acid-free. All her products are natural paper materials sourced from Higaonon abaca farmers in Claveria, Misamis Oriental. Earthborn observes a strict code of conduct which includes fair economic practices, quality assurance and environmental consciousness. Earthborn is a finalist of the renowned I Am A Changemaker award of the British Council that provides grants to budding social entrepreneurs.
Gomez of Chromez Home Furnishings presents a series of designs that are more on the juxtaposition of light and space as he makes modern floor lamps using recycled paper into a papier mache on a level that is CDO-inspired. Modern, functional and sophisticated, Chromez is definitely a work of genius as accent pieces to be transported into your lovely homes. Gomez creates each piece with his own hands. His products have already reached Singapore and Germany. Comendador of Joco Shoes provides an array of footwear designs, ranging from towering platform shoes to sculptural wearable ones. He is currently focusing on avant-garde perky, colorful and experimental styles. Comendador is part of the Manila FAME Red Box featured artists last March. Meanwhile, Rodriguez of Vesti has been fascinated with handwoven indigenous fabrics from Mindanao. She built Vesti to showcase the different facets of these handwoven indigenous fabrics from different tribes and communities in Mindanao and turned them into stylish bags. She is also one of the Manila FAME Red Box featured artists last March. Artajo resonates a very literal yet sophisticated interpretation of Mindanao identity. He is one of the most sought after Manila wear designers in Manila FAME. Hailing from Davao City, he joins the Hudyaka designers on putting her trademark

Jun Artajo prints on Mindanao silk. And then, Dimalerio’s Shiela Bags is known to be a fusion of classic and timeless chic. With her recent accomplishment to be part of the Manila FAME Red Box last March, she awed the audience with her intricate details and wood manipulation towards bamboo clutches in different strokes of color, finishing and beading. All of their products will be auctioned off and proceeds will go to Hudyaka’s chosen beneficiary – the ABAI Weavers Multi-purpose Cooperative of Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental so their weaving house and showroom can finally be renovated. The showcase will continue for a week in Centrio until November 9 where the public can see the pieces in the same area, open for all. Rodriguez is confident
that Hudyaka Year 2 will rekindle the spark among local entrepreneurs, investors and other stakeholders with the direction of infusing ethnicity and modernity, aiming to actively promote local smallscale and medium businesses to the international arena. During a recent get-together here in Cagayan de Oro City, Rodriguez beamed with pride that her Vesti bags have been sold out to places as far as Hawaii, South Africa and Belgium. Vesti is sourced from silk woven by the upland settlers in Laguindingan, by the Yakan in Zamboanga and Basilan; and by the T-boli of South Cotabato. More than sourcing fabrics for Vesti, Rodriguez’s vision is to continuously promote Mindanao weavers and eventually allow them to have consistent orders and source of livelihood. Hudyaka is also looking forward partnering with other budding social entrepreneurs from elsewhere in the republic who share their same passion to uplift the branding image of Mindanao and its homegrown products.
