Duterte govt vows no corruption in China-funded projects The Duterte administration has assured transparency in implementing China-funded projects in the country to ensure that they will be corruption-free.

“We will strictly follow the procedures set out in the law with regards to procurement, bidding, and we will be very vigilant about possible corruption,” Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III said on the sidelines of the 2017 National Conference of the Philippine Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative Thursday.

“As the President (Rodrigo Duterte) assures, there will be no

corruption with these projects,” Dominguez said.

He mentioned that the first China-funded project that will be implemented will be the two bridges over Pasig River, which are expected to commence in the next few months.

In a previous inter view, Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Zhao Jianhua said the Chinese government would provide grants amounting to 500 million yuan or about PHP3.6 billion for the two bridges over Pasig River.

These bridges will connect

Binondo and Intramuros, and Mandaluyong and Makati.

Aside from these bridges, the Chinese government and the private sector are planning to partner with the Philippines for other infrastructure projects.

“The fact that they have given us, made commitment with us, they firmly believe that the new government will live up to what it says and will live up to the highest standards, honesty, and morality,” the finance chief noted.

President Duterte will be in Beijing to attend the Silk Road summit on May 14-15. PNA

DAVAO CITY – A group from Jolo, Sulu urged the Senate to investigate the possible links of local government officials in Sulu province to the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG).

Speaking in a press conference at the Abreeza Mall here, Professor Octavio Dinampo of the Save Sulu Movement (SSM) said “the people in his province have been hostaged by the ASG for the past 10 years now.”

“Terrorism is a menace that is threatening all of us in the country, not only in Sulu,” said Dinampo, a

professor at the Mindanao State University in Sulu.

“We want the Senate to investigate the backers of ASG, including politicians and businessmen in our area,” he said.

He added that “Sulu nowadays is being controlled by one political clan,” though he did not elaborate on the matter.

Dinampo, who was once abducted by the Abu Sayyaf, called on the government and and private groups to help address the root cause of the extremism in Sulu, See probe, page A3

Transition of informal sector workers to formal economy gets boost DAVAO CITY -- The government is vying for the transition of informal sector workers into the formal economy, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said over the weekend.

That is why DOLE is vying for the ILO’s edict,” Bello said, referring to ILO Recommendation No. 204.

DOLE, he added, is seriously taking steps to ensure that this is realized.

The labor department, together with the NAPCWISC, has conduc te d consultative workshops to identify key policy gaps and challenges in relation to the government’s thrust in addressing informality, as well as strategies and models to operationalize the transition from informal to formal economy.

The consultative workshops are aimed toward a legislative measure that will address the root causes of informality and formalize the informal economic units and its workers.

In partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the DOLE launched an initiative called Trabaho, Negosyo, EXTRA-JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE AMONG HEIRS

Bello has also issued Department Order No. 173 or the revised guidelines in the implementation of the DILEEP. Through the D.O., the maximum per capital assistance to beneficiaries was raised from P10,000 to P20,000. On top of that is the provision of sanitary tools and equipment for livelihood projects and the provision of microinsurance to beneficiaries.

The Occupational Safety and Health Center (OSHC), an attached agency of the DOLE, also offers free OSH appreciation course to help ensure the safety and protection of informal sector workers, thus improving their productivity.

Moreover, to guarantee that workers from the informal sector are being represented at social dialogues, the Bureau of Labor Relations (BLR) has issued an advisory directing the reconstitution of the Regional Tripartite Industrial Peace Councils (RTIPCs) by including representations from the informal sector.

noting that the ASG cannot be defeated by military actions alone.

In a separate statement, SSM said that the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte, after 10 months into office, has yet to demonstrate and implement new and effective strategies to wipe out the ASG in Sulu and prevent its menace from spreading into the other parts of the country.

“Despite the declaration of the State of Lawlessness and the augmentation of military and police forces to reach 10,000 in Sulu, the ASG is still on a kidnapping rampage and even expanding its target to as far as the peaceful and tourist-rich island of Bohol,” the SSM said.

Mi l it ar y of fe ns ive s against the ASG are not enough to neutralize the terrorist group as the real situation in Sulu “unfolds a totally different story of kidnapping becoming a cottage industry with local officials acting as promoters, brokers and protectors,” the group said.

Aside from calling for an investigation, SMM also asked Congress to criminalize the payment of ransom.

“It is sickening to keep

Buk’non corn farmer, reaping gains from smart farming

Ralph Julius Y. Paje, a corn farmer from Lantapan, Bukidnon pins hope on agriculture as he regards corn farming as his primary source of livelihood and income. Flanking him is his 77-day old standing corn crop.

While some goes in sharing their tales of getting into farming by accident, Ralph Julius Y. Paje, a young corn farmer from Alanib, Lantapan, Bukidnon, says otherwise, remarking that he has already set his eyes in becoming a farmer early in his life.

“Sa akong pagpanguma, it happened by design. High school pa lang ko, ako nang gi-perceive nga gusto ko mahimong farmer,” he shared despite saying that many people associate farming as a poor man’s job.

Far from settling with others’ notions, he reckoned that financial management essentially forms part in doing a farm business. Instead of pursuing agriculture, he intentionally opted to earn a business management degree, thinking it as a prerequisite in successfully running his future farming enterprise and alongside it, did self-study on agriculture.

His humble beginnings Born to a father whose into farming and a mother engaging in business, Ralph, who is now 28 years old, initially borrowed Php100,000 from his parents back in 2009.

This served as his start-up capital, where he used to rent it a one-hectare farm lot and primarily planted it with corn and other crops.

Banking from the mentorship of his parents, including the assistance he has sought from agricultural extension workers, seed companies and his own discoveries over the Internet, he has more than managed to get by during his early phase of farming that it inspired him to further pursue his farming endeavor.

Out from his proceeds of planting corn in that year, he additionally rented two hectares of land for both 2010 and 2011, pushing his total farm area to five hectares.

As his rental contracts lapsed in 2014, he took the opportunity of purchasing the three-hectare farm lot up for sale during that time. To date, he now cultivates a total of five hectares, of which three hectares are purchased and the rest of the two are rented.

On choosing corn Adopting a diversified and integrated farming system, corn, a cash crop, as Ralph often refers to it, is his primary choice of crop, as he finds it lucrative and easy to produce.

Although he admits that it involves taking risks, he deems that there is another given, that is, the numerous corn farming technologies available, to balance off the seemingly complex equation in farming.

A myriad of technologies at work True to this words, Ralph has capitalized on the existing farm technologies for corn, for which have been helpful from land preparation until the processing of his harvest.

“Pinaagi sa paggamit sa minimum tillage tungod kay medyo slopy man location sa among farm diri, crop rotation ug good agricultural practices, paggamit pod sa organic inputs sa akong farm nga giincorporate nako sakong mga commercial input, na achieve nako ang 15 tons nga

average yield in cobs for the last two years sakong maisan,” he detailed.

His volume of production, was remarkable in itself, as this is much higher from the reported municipal average yield, which is pegged at only 4.5-5.5 metric tons.

Other of his notable farm practices include liming, where he automatically applies ten tons of lime upon occupying a farm lot and two years thereafter, another five tons, in order to neutralize the acidity of the land, at the same time, introducing organic matter by utilizing his farm wastes such as charcoal, ashes, processed chicken dung, vermi cast, corn cobs, among other approaches.

Side-by-side with the abovesaid technologies, he likewise invested on farm machineries, equipment and facilities such as water pump, corn sheller, solar dryer, chainsaw, warehouse, truck and hammer mill, to augment his efficiency in the operations of his farm.

Maximizing various market channels Equally putting value beside his cultural management practices, Ralph has also placed premium in having different outlets for the market of his corn.

Timing is of the essence, he emphasized, as to what and when the produce will be coursed to the market, depending on his forecast of the market where he lays down the performance of his crop versus the behavior of prices.

“Nanag-iya man ko og usa ka general merchandise, gina-una gyud nako ang local consumption sa mga tawo, further process ko sakong mais gihimo siyang corn grits ug naa pod tahop nga ginagamit sa ilang livestock. Dayon ang uban nakong mga produce is ginagamit nako personally sakong livestock, which is ginahimo raw material sa akong negosyo nako pod nga restaurant. Ang sobra sa akong production is ginabaligya nako directly sa mga processing plants,” he accounted.

Failure, a friendly reminder Another staple in Ralph’s farming was getting his fair share of setbacks, especially those times when his corn farm was hit by a typhoon at the onset of tasseling and the infestation of pest and diseases such as aphids, blight and white grubs.

Rather than be fazed by the outpour of dilemma, he was even more motivated, thus, he quadrupled his effort and became more vigilant in his farm.

“When you say failure that is an indication nga dapat lahiun napod nako ang akong diskarte. Failure is a good sign to get back in life,” he said.

More than your average farmer The odds were not always on his favor, but Ralph settled on turning these challenges to his side, and awakened the agri-research scientist in him, which was not only manifested in his proper seed selection through the conduct of trial varieties, but also in his own research on how to eliminate white grubs.

“Kung kini mo-infest sa imong farm, ang imong corn kay stunted siya, which will eventually result to low yield. So, what I did was to crop rotate my farm with cassava, which I know contains cyanide.

After harvesting, I discovered that 95% of the white grubs was eliminated, so the result of my research was affirmative,” he stated.

Success meant to be shared “Daghan tawo nagstorya sakoa nga successful farmer nako at a very young age, maybe, pero success for me is more on influencing others, especially the youth to pursue farming,” Ralph remarked.

Unsurprisingly, he is compelled to share his expertise and success to his community as he is the former president and the current adviser of the Alanib 4-H club and a member of the Brgy. Alanib Development Council. At the same time, he generates employment in their locality through his farm while showcasing it during technology demonstration tours.

Worthy to mention is his various speaking engagements, including being invited as a speaker in career guidance sessions, farm youth conventions, and more recently, he tackled the Role and Opportunities for the Youth in the Corn Industry during the 12th Philippine National Corn Congress in Koronodal, South Cotabato.

More notably, he has extended the use of his farming acquisitions, at a minimum fee to also be of great help to his fellow farmers.

Reaping the fruits of his labor For eight years of farming, Ralph now sees his decisiveness to become a farmer has paid off. In 2016, he has earned an estimated net income of Php859,005, which is 17% higher than the previous year amounting to Php732,000, which is mainly from his corn production. With his earnings, he has invested in the expansion of his enterprises, varying from producing, selling and processing.

“Dili lang sa kakusog ug kakugi nimo sa imong pagpanguma nga mahimo kang malampuson. There should be smart farming, wherein willing ta mo-obserbar, maminaw sa uban ug mo-adopt sa mga teknolohiya nga anaa. Success may be a long equation, but you need to be smart along the process,” he attested.

His contributions have not also fallen to deaf ears as he was awarded as the 2015 Regional Gawad Saka winner and 2016 TOFARM awardee for the young farmer category. Likewise, he was one among the elite six of Filipino-farmer delegates during the ASEAN Farmers’ Week, held in Makati, back in 2015. *** Ralph may not have completed an agriculture degree, but his rich experience as an open-minded, dedicated, passionate and innovative young corn farmer, has been a potent tool in teaching him the rudiments in farming that propelled him to enjoy its socio-economic gains.

“I do encourage other people to venture a career in farming even though taas iyang financial risk pero taas man pod ang potential sa high income. As long as you will incorporate the appropriate farming approach also the smart financial management techniques, there is a high chance for you to succeed!,” he proudly said.

With his inspiring tale of success, it would not be far that agriculture will be timelessly underscored as a fundamental enterprise and an excellent career path.

After all, it started with his insight of becoming a successful farmer as a career, and there’s no reason why other aspirants can’t follow Ralph’s footsteps and reach similar feats. # (JLOlson, DA-RFO 10)
