Davao hospital launches new Fibroscan touch in Mindanao By Antonio L. Colina IV of MindaNews

DAVAO CIT Y -- The Davao Doctors Hospital has strengthened its position as the premiere hospital here after it unveiled on Friday the latest P9million Fibroscan touch, the first and only one of its kind in Mindanao, that will revolutionize the “diagnosis and management” of liver disease.

Dr. Marilyn Arguillas, head of the Clinical Head of Endoscopy Unit and Liver Center at the DDH, said in a press conference that the new medical equipment is capable of assessing the severity of liver cirrhosis, which develops after chronic liver scarring or fibrosis in medical parlance, and the amount of fat in the liver. “Our Fibroscan can detect fatty liver, can detect if

the scarring starts to develop on the way to cirrhosis. The journey starts from fatty liver disease, or chronic hepatitis B or C, or from alcoholic liver disease. That journey takes you to the road of cirrhosis,” she said. The hospital also launched in 2012 a similar but older Fibroscan but lacked the capability of determining the amount of liver fat, she said.

Arguillas said the new Fibroscan is equipped with a Controlled Attenuation Parameter, a tool for “noninvasive assessment and accumulation of fat in the liver.” Unlike the invasive biopsy with a 0.001 percent risk of patient mortality, she said the examination could be repeated to monitor the patient’s liver without side effects.

The fatty liver, which develops with sedentary lifestyle, is classified into two types – alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic fatty liver. The non-alcoholic fatty liver, she said, is now more common with the growing popularity of fast-food chains. She said non-alcoholic fatty liver is common among See launches, page A7

Davao City creates task force to study coordinated implementation of projects DAVAO CITY, March 1 (PNA) -- The city government here has created a task force that would study the coordinated implementation of infrastructure projects by all government agencies to prevent the disruption of traffic, business operations, and other activities in the city. This developed as the city faces a worsening traffic situation, aggravated by road diggings and excavations by different agencies and service providers. City Planning chief Ivan Cortez however said other factors contribute to the problem, such as poor mass transport system, noting that the city relies mainly on public utility vehicles and taxicabs for transportation while the easy access to owning vehicles and the bulk of projects that are implemented simultaneously, contribute to traffic congestion. Cortez also cited migration as another contributing factor given the influx of people coming and relocating in the city.

The task force, he said, is going to ask government agencies, such as the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), to synchronize their work, so that the digging of newly built roads would be avoided and government resources would not go to waste. “This has been the practice (build and destroy) that we have reached the point of wanting to seek intervention from higher authorities to address this,” he said. Cortez also said the city will ask DPWH to include in its projects space for future underground cabling, aimed at eliminating overhead wires and telephone and internet cables. The city government has already completed underground cabling in areas within City Hall. “Perhaps they could provide spaces for water pipe connections, for telcos and also for gas so these basic lines are ready for future projects,” he said. Talks are ongoing with concerned government agencies, the Davao City

Water District (DCWD) and the City Engineer’s Office to address the gap in terms of synchronizing their project implementation. Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte has instructed them to come up with long-term plans on what they want to happen to the city as short- and medium-term plans address the current situation, Cortez said. He said Mayor Sara has also directed them to look into the possibility of imposing building height requirements, and this will be handled by the City Planning Office, City Legal Office and the City Engineer’s Office who will later come up with an ordinance that would address these concerns. “Right now, only the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) regulates the height limitation for building constructions that may affect the flight path of an aircraft,” Cortez said, adding that there is also a plan to consult structural engineers as they know the

quality of the city’s soil. This is also aimed at determining the quality of soil whether it can stand the weight of tall buildings given the common comments of construction companies that it is more costly to build a skyscraper in Davao City than in Manila because the soft soil here would require a lot of board piling. Citing an example, he said the expansion of the bridge along the diversion road took a long time to build because the original specifications of 12 to 14 board piling rose to 25 and they were not able to reach the level where the base is stable. The contractor has asked for work suspension because their project cost estimates have already ballooned beyond their budget. “They cannot put the vertical structure when the base is not stable,” he said. Cortez said there are other areas that the task force needs to study for better project planning. (PNA)

or 5.3 pounds. This was confirmed by City Hall chief Information Officer Jefry Tupas in a press statement. Tupas said Sara’s husband, lawyer Manases Carpio, was thankful. He even posted in his Facebook account: “Thank you, Lord,

for the gift of life”. Carpio also announced that Sara is “stable” and “generally fine.” Sara is the 10th mother in Mindanao who successfully gave birth through the in vitro fertilization (IVF) offered by Brokenshire Hospital, which opened its IVF facility in October 2015. The IVF facility is the first in Mindanao aimed at providing a more affordable operation compared to that in Luzon and Mindanao. IVF is a process by which an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body. It is a medical procedure where the egg cell and the sperm cell are extracted from the couple to join them in the

laboratory. After the fertilized egg or embryo is formed which takes about two weeks to develop, it will be injected in the uterus of the woman. Last year, a Muslim mother gave birth to Mindanao’s first test tube baby at the Brokenshire Hospital. Baby boy Muhagher was the first baby born to Gamal and Mydean Pagul from a successful pregnancy through the IVF offered by Brokenshire Hospital. The couple is from Wao, Lanao del Sur. Gamal works as Jail Officer of the Bureau of Jail Management in Wa-o while Mydean is a public school teacher in Wa-o. (PNA)

DRRMO to hold quake drills at MisOr towns CAPITOL COMPOUND, Misamis Oriental -- The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office will hold earthquake drills in the municipalities of Misamis Oriental aimed at preparing rescue aids when said tragedies strike.

department would give utmost attention to conducting earthquake drills which is more unpredictable and difficult to control when it hit. Dy said they have coordinated with private establishments in the province for this series of activities to prepare themselves beforehand on any eventualities. He also said educational institutions are also included in the drills. (PIO MisOr)

The recorded end-November 2016 revenues was 8.7 percent higher than the P120.77 billion recorded in the same 11-month period in 2015. Broken down, members’ contribution grew to P131.28 billion investments and other income increased to P28.74 billion. “One of our goals for the pension fund this year is to expand our membership. We would also like to retain the current membership number as it comprises more than 82 percent of our total revenue income,” SSS President Emmanuel F. Dooc said. Expenditures for the January to November period in 2016, likewise, increased by 18.39 percent to P131.06 billion from the P110.70 billion recorded in 2015

revenues for granting higher benefits for members. Social Security Commission’s (SSC) Chairman Dean Amado D. Valdez said that SSS investment capabilities based on the provisions under the Social Security Act of 1997 are limited amid current market trends. “Aside from expanding our investment portfolio, we seek the amendment of the conservative provisions of the SSS charter particularly on the investing capacities of the Commission,” he said. The SSS charter limits the powers of the Commission to invest its reserve fund. At present, SSS could only invest in private securities, housing, real estate, short and medium-term member loans, government financial institutions and corporations, infrastructure projects, foreign currency denominated investments, and any particular industry that the Commission deems profitable. The SSS aggressively pushes for direct capital infusion of the pension funds to tollway constructions under the Private-Public Partnership (PPP) to generate lifetime income, and to provide more meaningful benefits to its members.

Prefect of discipline By Patronillo A. Bentillo T-II San Luis National High School San Luis, Malitbog, Bukidnon

The most challenging and complex role of a teacher is a School Disciplinarian. Everyday you are anticipating problems. The daily problems that you have to meet everyday is the wearing of complete uniform, tardiness, cutting class, maintenance of cleanliness, students quarrels, absentism etc. Sometimes I could say that I have to quit such role for I meet troubles to the stuborn headed students. But as a good teacher we have to accept any task assigned by our superior for in this way we can put our self into a well developed

Biblical reflection

Do not pray for your own favors but for the favors of others The Gospel of Jesus Christ (March6, 2017-Monday) Luke 11:1-4 “Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.” And He said to them, “When you pray, say: `Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. `Give us each day our daily bread. `And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation: The

beauty of praying is not to remind God of what you need, but to remind yourself that you need God. You have a duty to communicate always to your heavenly father because you are his beloved child on this earth. You need to connect him constantly because this is the greatest way to have a good relationship with him. There are many relationships broken because of miscommunication.

No regular communication can break a certain relationship. Jesus prayed to give examples to anyone. 1 Peter 2:21”For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps. Take note; Jesus prayed not for himself but for others and for his disciples. Luke 22:32”but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and

you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers. You are born to become intercessor to anyone. You are born to offer prayers to all people. God believes that you are generous in your prayers. Do not pray for your own favors but for the favors of others. Do not ask God for you own benefits but for others. I do believe that what others received because of your prayers; will be given

to you. This is the law of bouncing. Due to the purity of your heart; God will bless you more than you are expecting.God is God of surprises. He will surprise you along your journey because he wants to pay you; the efforts for praying others: Printing paid by: Edith Ranoa - Jordan and Crespina Ranoa - Bobong Balino– Cagayan De Oro: # 09187148435: Listen to me via Thunder Radio

PDEA busts drug ring in Tacurong City C OTABATO CIT Y -Anti-narcotics officials in Soccsksargen on Saturday vowed to crush the illegal drug trade in the region as drug personalities appeared to have resumed their “illegal business” when police-led campaigns slowed down. Kath Abad, speaking for the Philippine Drug E n f orc e m e nt Ag e n c y in C ent ra l Mind anao (PDEA-Central Mindanao), said Thursday’s arrest of four suspects actively involved in the illegal drug trade in Sultan Kudarat province has destroyed a network of big-time drug pushers. Abad told DXMS-AM Radyo Bida that after a long and tedious covert operation, a PDEA-led anti-drug operation led to the arrest of Norodin Amolan, 33, of Barangay Poblacion, Tacurong City; Abubakar Ugalingan, 25, of Barangay Ambalgan, Sto. Niño, South Cotabato; Nike Quibuyen, 25, of President Quirino, Sultan Kudarat; and Jay-R Hablero, 26, of Barangay Libertad, Surallah, South Cotabato. Amolan and Ugalingan, according to Abad, were in the list of most wanted

drug personalities in the Soccsksargen region. A PDEA agent, posing as a buyer, managed to secure several sachets of illegal drugs from Amolan and Ugalingan during the operation in Biaca Subdivision, Barangay Poblacion, Tacurong City. PDEA-Soccsksargen regional director Gil Cesa-

rio Castro, in a statement, said anti-narcotics agents seized 15 sachets of shabu with an estimated market value of PHP35,000, a digital weighing scale and shabu paraphernalia. The suspects, currently detained at the PDEASoccsksargen lock-up cell in Gen. Santos City, are facing charges for violat-

ing Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. Abad said PDEA will continue to fulfill its new mandate as lead agency in the war on drugs. She lauded the support provided by the Tacurong City police and the local government. (PNA)

heart. This identifies chest pain as the common symptom. Mata added that heart cases are significantly increasing in the country and improper lifestyle is observed to trigger this cardiac failure. “As of now in the Philippines, we have increasing rates already because of our lifestyle problems and comorbidities like hypertension and diabetes which also came from [unbalanced] diet, smoking and less exercise,”Mata revealed. On this pressing health issue, Governor Anthony del Rosario calls on every capitol department to promote healthy activities and behaviour, while fully occupied with daily routines at work. “Every office should be a sanctuary, protecting the safety and well-being of our employees, while giving them prospects for better long-term health and productivity,” the governor said.

“One of the reasons why we accepted the offer to be the host for the 2017 DAVRAA (Davao Regional Athletic Association) Meet is that it is an opportune time for us to showcase our wonderful and unique ecotourism destinations in the province. We will show to them that we’ve got the best tourism sites and we are the new premiere tourism destination. It is not often that we have the opportunity to host an event as big as this one. And we are proud and grateful and privileged to host the biggest sports event in Southern Mindanao,” says Davao Oriental Governor Nelson Dayanghirang during a press conference at the provincial Capitol on Thursday afternoon. T h e D av a o R e g i on Athletic Association or DAVRAA Meet is an annual multi-level regional scholastic athletic competition participated by elementary and secondary students both from private and public schools in the Davao Region. Eye-Opening Destination Expand your perspective by seeing and experiencing Davao Oriental, an eyeopening destination that will help you find what is really most important in life, says one of the touristpromotion messages of the provincial government. A wonderful experience awaits the athletes and visiting spectators to this province, a place that beguile and inspire, sedate and stir, where the distance between heaven and earth collapse and you will be able to catch glimpses of the divine or the Infinite Whatever as you are united with nature. The resplendent landscape and seascape of Davao Oriental, a wind-swept province south of Mindanao,

Monday, March 6, 2017 will give you an exciting and powerful experience that can change forever your outlook on nature. You will fall in love with its lovely sea and the treasure troves of riches beneath its surface. Its myriad forest, lush mountain peaks, verdant ravines, waterfalls and cool coastal areas down to the coral reefs, sea grass beds, the mangrove forests, plus the lakes and rivers that breeds an impressive array of plant and animal species are the most enjoyable reasons for coming.You surely will be mesmerizingly drawn by the unspoken words of its stupendous beauty and then lost to nature’s wondrous gifts. A magnificent place, Davao Oriental gives you an experience like no other: The transformative magic of travel. The province’s crown jewel, Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary, is the first and only place in the island of Mindanao declared as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO, adding worldwide prestige to a province known as the “sunrise capital” of the Philippines, the province being located at the easternmost part of the archipelago. A Philippine eagle nest located recently in Mount Hamiguitan could be a perfect spot for local and international bird enthusiasts to visit and see the “jewel of all birds” in its natural state.Mount Hamiguitan represents a complete, substantially intact and highly diverse mountain ecosystem, in a significant biogeographic region of the Philippines. Qualitatively different from other destinations, Davao Oriental is host to extra-long wild and untamed beaches of white fine sand that enjoy the best view of the mesmerizing infinite waters of the Pacific

Ocean. And having the most impressive scenery that directly faces both the Pacific Ocean and the Celebes Sea, the long coastlines of Davao Oriental are sanctuaries of sea cows, whales, dolphins and marine turtles that nest along sandy beaches. Indeed, a most affordable slice of paradise in the Pacific, this province is tucked away from the highly-urbanized Davao City, the economic center of Mindanao. The crystal-clear waters of Davao Oriental’s awesome and serene beaches both in the islands and mainland provides blissful moments for wanderers both the laid-back and the kind that parties on sun-burnt islands. Wildlife viewers and serious nature observers spends unhurried periods of time in areas of unspoiled wilderness to have spectacular encounters with wild animals without too much sweat and inconveniences. In Davao Oriental, you will experience the best animal encounter that provides meaningful environmental lessons. You make your own plans to meet whales and dolphins up close and get ready the binoculars or telescopes, video and still cameras for an enjoyable whale-watching trip. Whalewatching can be a lot of fun. It can be done from land or sea depending on how close the whales or dolphins are to shore. It is always more rewarding when you can come up close. In Davao Oriental, you will be introduced to the astounding diversity of whales and dolphins as the locals regarded them as an important presence with great ecological significance and eco-tourism potential. Plus, you will also be regaled by Dugong or sea cows that abound in the place. Only a very small proportion of the world’s Dugong

stocks are found in Philippine waters today. Populations of cetaceans, including some which are rarely seen elsewhere in the world, are abundant and readily accessible in Davao Oriental by small boats operating from picturesque coastal villages whose inhabitants are among the most hospitable people in the country. Like the Philippine eagles that have managed to survive in the remnants of our forest, whales are barometers of the state of our seas. (FerdieZuasola/PIO DavOr)

patients with diabetes, overweight/ obese, high cholesterol diet, and metabolic syndrome. “The fatty liver is called the epidemic of new millennium. Now, it is the most chronic liver disease in the world,” she said. “(At least) 70 to 90 percent of diabetics have fatty liver. Patients who are obese have fatty liver, and our children because of our lifestyle.” She said an inflamed fatty liver could cause liver cirrhosis, a precursor of liver cancer, which can be detected at the early onset with the Fibroscan equipment. Citing a nationwide study conducted by the National Food Research Institute in 2004, she said liver disease affects 16.7 percent of Filipinos aged 18 years old and above. “Why? There is also a epidemic of obesity, an epidemic of diabetes, and an epidemic of metabolic syndrome plus all the lifestyle. We develop fatty liver

because of our lifestyle – the western lifestyle, or what they called the American Lifestyle Induced Obesity Syndrome (ALIOS),” she said. She said kids who do not engage in physical activities and spend much of their time on computer games are more likely to develop a fatty liver. “When you have obese children, you develop obese adults – men and women. Unfortunately, when you are obese adults, you also grow into, if you are lucky and you don’t die of heart attack, you also grow into obese elderly people. “This is the problem that the Philippines will face. It’s not only drug war, killing, it’s this. Because the burden to the health care is terrible and I don’t think we can take care of this plus the Emerging epidemic of HIV (human immodeficiency virus), it will overburden the Philippine heath care system,” she said.
