CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY Mayor Oscar S. Moreno hit back at the critics of his administration, claiming they’re a ‘bunch of attack dogs’ of his political rivals and supporters of the opposition. Moreno, during a press briefing, has maintained that all these criticisms and bashing against him on mainstream and social media, are all part of being a leader to this booming city. “Ato nalang na sila sabton Cel (referring to CIO chief Maricel Casino-Rivera) kay mao mana ila panginabuhi,” City Mayor Moreno said, adding that many of these critics of his administration are supporters of the opposition. Many months ago, City Mayor Moreno has been the subject of harsh criticisms on social media alleging

that the mayor has not responded to the needs of the residents in terms of food and financial support, especially during the imposition of GCQ, MGCQ, MECQ and ECQ in which thousands of workers were displaced as a result of the massive closures of business establishments.

Aggie dept urges raisers to insure hogs amid ASF contagion CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, August 12 – The agriculture department in Northern Mindanao (DA10) pushes hog raisers to insure their animals with the DA-Philippine Crop Insurance, Corp. (PCIC) to avail indemnification and easen risks to their investments amid the African Swine Fever (ASF) contagion. In a virtual Regional Association of Government Communicators (RAGCOM)-10 Information Caravan, Dr. Julesben Caesar C. Maquiling, DA-10 ASF Focal Person reported that starting July 1, this year, indemnification requests for depopulated hogs due to ASF will no longer be accommodated under the department’s quick respond fund, but rather thru PCIC’s insurance program. To date, DA-10 has already released the indemnification for the 1,747 ASF-stricken hog farmers with 7,404 hogs, in the total amount of P37.020 million since November 2020, while other requests are still in progress for payment. Unlike previous ASF indemnification claims pegged at P5,000 per culled hog, he detailed, that under PCIC’s Swine

Industry Insurance program, a minimum amount of P10,000 will be accorded to farmers whose animals are depopulated to prevent ASF infestation in an area. “In support to DA’s effort, PCIC, an attached agency of DA, has designed the Swine Mortality Insurance Program. It contains relaxed features of the agency’s regular livestock insurance program such as discounted premiums for commercial hog raisers, increased indemnity for hog losses, and inclusion of culling or destruction of swine due to ASF as ordered by the government as compensable peril,” Roy Arthur P. Alamban, PCIC sales and marketing chief bared. He added that the corporation has already allotted P600 million from its current budget for said program. Of which, the amount shall either be used as insurance premium subsidy or indemnity payment for assured RSBSA listed hog raisers, he added. Intended beneficiaries of the insurance program range from backyard hog raisers listed in the Registry System for Basic Sectors in

Agriculture (RSBSA); farmer’s cooperatives and associations; commercial farm operators; local government units (LGUs); and state colleges and universities. Additional requirements include LGUs’ adoption of harmonized ordinances, implementation and regular updating in the prevention and control of ASF, and the organization of the Bantay ASF sa Barangay; registration of hog farms with LGUs; training on biosecurity measures among farmers, or in the case of commercial farms, owners and staff; and certification that hogs to be insured are in the green (free), light green or pink (buffer) zones. As to the provision of government premium subsidy, Alamban clarified, that for backyard hog raisers (maximum of 20 heads), subsidy shall be 100% of the premium cost or full premium subsidy, while for the commercial hog raisers, the premium subsidy shall be the rate of the premium cost as may be agreed by DA and PCIC. He noted, that affected hog raisers will receive a maximum of P10,000 per head for fattener; P14,500 per head for F1

breeder; and a maximum of P34,000 per head for parent/grandparent stock. The agri official further emphasized, however, that said coverage rates will depend per type of swine, subject to usual prorating assessment according to the growth period when the loss occurred. “These policies shall apply only to the current situation with regard to ASF infection and shall remain effective until such time that hog industry and the market

will have stabilized or solutions or treatment to the disease will have been developed,” Alamban stated. Hog raisers can apply for insurance at PCIC’s regional office at the 4th Floor, One Montecarlo Building, Corrales-Hayes Sts. (857-2983/0906-8925746/0948-325-4032) or thru their provincial extension offices at the 2nd Floor, PENLAC Building, National Highway, Valencia City, Bukidnon (0905-

744-4417/0948-8606610/0930-884-0524) and at the Farmer’s Training Center in Bagong Dawis, Baroy, Lanao del Norte (0906-461-7137). The provincial, city or municipal agriculturist or agricultural technicians in any LGU may also be reached out for assistance, Alamban concluded. Currently, there are a total of 19 ASF-affected areas in the provinces of Misamis Oriental and Lanao del Norte, respectively. # (JLO)

OFW-MRRD’s roadmap to liberate the indigenous people from powerty and oppression

“A mockery of the Indigenous Rights Act (RA 8371),” That is the statement from no less than one of authors of IPRA Law when it was enacted in 1997, former Congressman Mohammad Omar Albano Fajardo. Such conclusion came about after hearing the outpourings of narratives of the chieftains and leaders of the Indigenous Peoples of Mindanao during the series of dialogues when the former congressman who is now sitting in the MRRD Execom as Vice President for International Affairs together with his lovely wife, ASEC. Ameenah Fajardo, Assistant Secretary for Special Concerns, DTI, visited the Indigenous Peoples in Bukidnon and Lanao provinces on August 12 to 15. The Indigenous Peoples’ chieftains and leaders came in droves in every dialogue, narrating how oppressed their respective tribes are whether Higaonon, Manobo, Talaandig and Maranao. It was a shock to Cong. Omar and ASEC. Ameenah when they visited the Manobo-Pulangiyon Tribal Community when they saw more than a thousand IP families now living in extreme poverty under shattered tents along the highway in Butong, Quezon, Bukidnon. Why? Because they were ousted from their 1,111 ha-ancestral domain by a powerful

corporation whose manager is the incumbent Mayor of Quezon, Bukidnon, Mayor Pablo Lorenzo. For more than four (4) years now, they have been living in so much hunger and poverty, eating only “kamote” once a day or nothing at all. All of their utensils are taken out from garbage and they are drinking from the river where they are taking a bath. The children have to be tied-up because three have been hit already by running cars. The children are all malnourished and suffering different kind of diseases. They have to reclaim back their rich ancestral domain now transformed into plantations where their ancestors are buried but the armed men of the corporation would threaten them. There were times when every night, the armed men would fire their guns using fear as a means to control or subdue them. In fact, the Secretary of the Tribe, Mr. Renato Anglao was shot dead in 2016. But the horrible story of the Manobo-Pulangiyon Tribe is just “a tip of the iceberg,” so to speak. Early this year, no less than Mr. Ceazar Soriano came with his communication team of PTV4, documented this great social injustice, among the many social wrongs committed against the Indigenous Peoples which were shown in three episodes in the

Orlan R. Ravanera

“Magandang Gabi Pilipinas,” entitled, “AGAW LUPA, AGAW BUHAY.” In Tagbak, Talakag, the Higaonon-Manobo Talaandig Tribe (HIMATA) has narrated how their 39,000ha. ancestral domain are being landgrabbed in cohort with local officials and agencies of government and when they would resist, they would be tagged as NPAs. In fact, one chieftain has been tied-up one whole evening in a nearby military camp for just being tagged as NPA by a barangay captain who is interested to grab his land. But the grabbing is not just limited to land. Datu Ben Anoos has narrated that sometime in 2005, the water coming from their ancestral domain has been converted into a water system by the LGU but not a single centavo has been awarded to the tribe, a violation of the IPRA Law. After spending some hundred of thousands of pesos in their legal struggle, no justice has been done, so they are giving-up their struggle for justice because there those who cannot moderate their greed. In their narration, a total of 63 IP leaders have already been murdered since 2016 including a pregnant woman See ROADMAP, page 11

Have my say

Every man for himself

AND of course: every woman for herself. It’s used for saying that everyone needs to look after themselves and not worry about anyone else. Everyone looks out for his or her best interest. Originally this phrase expressed approval. It appeared in Chaucer’s The Knight’s Tale (“Ech man for him-self, ther is non other”), implying that if one did not look out for oneself no one else would. Yes, each person does what is best for himself or herself. Yes, times are getting tougher. I think you, my dear readers, know what I am talking about. No reason to list everything again. Sometimes, there is no team spirit in this office; it’s definitely every man for himself. Neighbors would tell each other: mind your own business. The tone between us humans is becoming more and more harsher. Some people live alone because friends and families have abandoned them. Important helpline is Psalm 27:10 for them. “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take care of me.”

And solitary survivors like Robinson Crusoe, or the hero in the movie Castaway, fascinate. But the loner is someone who purposely holds himself aloof, like the Unabomber, Mathematician Ted Kaczynski. People doggedly moving ever farther away from one another constitute hell in C.S. Lewis’ book, The Great Divorce. Fact is - Proverbs 18:1 says: A man who isolates himself seeks his own desires; he rages against all wise judgment. Living in community and helping one another is foundational for all who wish to follow Christ. We know from Acts 2 that the early church took this seriously, seeing many examples of believers helping one another, including materially, so that there would be no one in need within their group. Much has been written about the benefits of strong relationships. I wrote about it at this corner several years ago. People are healthier, live longer, and are generally happier if they have strong friendships beneficial for helping and encouraging each other. And let me re-

Jim Mathis , a writer, photographer and small business owner in Overland Park, Kansas, got it to the point last year, when the pandemic started: “Personally, one big change that took place when I decided to follow Christ was shifting from a self-centered existence to community-centered living. My life changed dramatically for the better when I stopped looking out only for myself and started finding ways to help others with a sense of community. Life went from an individual sport like a race to a team sport, working toward our mutual benefit”. +++ Email: doringklaus@ gmail.com or follow me on Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter or visit my www. germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot.com or www. klausdoringsclassicalmusic. blogspot.com.

SEV E N enter prises in Misamis Oriental received more than P9-M worth of technology innovation fund (iFund) under the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) during an online ceremonial turn-over on July 13, 2021. SETUP is a flagship program of DOST mandated to assist micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to improve their productivity. Through a signed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), each firm received the iFund to upgrade their equipment, acquire technologies to address their production gaps, and improve product quality. Out of the seven, two firms are from the metals and engineering sector, namely, Catian Industrial Sale and Grecanz Trading and Engineering Services. Three are from the food industry sector consisting of J&P Bakery, Josephus Boneless Lechon Belly, and Tyco Inc. The remaining, Marcommax Enterprises and Legacy Sales and Printing Press, are from the manufacturing industries. Catian Industrial Sale is a micro-enterprise machine shop in Alubijid that fabricates gears and machine parts. Through SETUP, the firm will acquire a Lathe Machine and Vertical Milling Machine. The equipment will help the firm fabricate larger gears and machine parts, as well as, increase its production time. Thus, eliminating job-out or outsourcing to competitors and other fabricators.

ceived the assistance for the Technology Licensing Fee to avail a DOST-Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI)-developed Cacao Processing Equipment. J&P Bakery is a small enterprise in Alubijid that produces bread and pastry products. The firm will shift from manual processing into semi-automation through the acquisition of a Cooker Mixer, Vibro Sifter, Mechanical Dryer, and Packaging Machine. The set of equipment will increase the firm’s production volume, sales, and

productivity. DOST’s assistance also includes the fast-tracking of its application for Food and Drug Administration - License To Operate (FDA-LTO). Another assisted enterprise is Josephus Lechon in Nazareth, Cagayan de Oro. The iFund assistance they received will help improve the enterprise’s production and cost efficiency through various equipment such as Horizontal Powder Mixer, 3 Deck 9 Tray Oven, Mechanical Dryer, and Gas Rice Cooker. Thus, increasing the productivity and production volume to

improve the quality and competitiveness of their Lechon-based products. Tyco Inc., a small enterprise that produces siomai products in Nazareth, Cagayan de Oro, will soon acquire an Automatic Siomai Making Machine through the iFund. With this, they expect to increase its siomai production to supply the increasing demand in Northern Mindanao and further receive an FDA-LTO certification. Marcommax Enterprise, or better known as Cardmasters in Capistrano, Cagayan de Oro, is grateful

for the fund to acquire a Fiber Laser Cutting Machine. Cardmasters produces a wide range of personalized products through laser cutting/engraving of wood, acrylic stones (granite and marble), cloth, and leather. Through the equipment, they will produce highquality metal products to be added to their product lines. Lastly, Legacy Sales and Printing Press, a medium enterprise, has sought assistance in addressing the supply gap in print packaging boxes for food products. With the help of SETUP, the

firm will acquire Heidelberg Off-set Printer to improve labor productivity and supply the demand for food packaging in the region. The seven assisted firms expressed their gratitude for the iFund they have received as they welcome innovative solutions to their production problems, especially during the pandemic. Indeed, DOST continues to be committed to its mandate in enabling MSMEs to increase their productivity and product competitiveness through SETUP. (John Paulo R. Tumala, DOSTMisamis Oriental)

Real Estate Investment Trust offerings can help spark PH eco recovery By MIKE BAÑOS Editor at large

FINANCE Secretary Carlos Dominguez III is confident the growing roster of Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) offerings will propel the growth of the Philippines’ property sector beyond the pandemic--and serve as a catalyst for the country’s quick and strong economic recovery. Dominguez said the REIT has proven to be the ideal tool for raising the billions of pesos required to power property development in the country while at the same time opening attractive and dependable investment opportunities for the average Filipino. “Credit must go to Secretary of Finance Carlos G. Dominguez for his foresight in pushing forward with the revisions to the old rules that enabled the REIT market to get started,” said

Dominguez that REITs will help to propel the growth of the Philippine property sector and will thus give a further boost to the country’s economy,” Luchangco noted. “ What is equally important is that it allows the small or retail Filipino investor to now participate in the booming property industry which has already

been prospering for a number of years. Dominguez has been a prime mover for the implementation of Republic Act (RA) No. 9856 (the REIT) Law since he assumed the finance portfolio in 2016. When the REIT Law was passed in 2009, no company found its terms attractive, See HELP, page 10

The mayor explained that aside from ‘recorrida,’ a demand generation campaign was also carried out to further explain the advantages of being inoculated, as well as the adverse effects following immunization. “We have done our best to explain to people about the side effects of vaccines and how they differ from person to person,” Lagbas said. She added that despite the preliminary struggles that the RHU and LGU encountered, the people responded positively. The lady mayor also shared that people are now queuing up at their vaccination sites to get their vaccine jabs. As the vaccination rollout continues, the municipality has done vaccinating their frontliners; vaccinated 50 percent of the senior citizens; and is currently working on the A4 priority group.

owing to what property players have listed as obstacles for the REIT to flourish in this country--friction costs, minimum public ownership requirements, and taxes. “However, the amended IRR has removed the main obstacles and thus encouraged developers to undertake IPOs of REITs in the Philippines. Another feature of the amended IRR is that it ensures that all shareholders proceeds from REIT offerings will be retained within the domestic economy and used to drive the country’s growth.” The REIT law, with its amended IRR, now allows both small and large investors to own real estate assets, presenting an alternative and secure investment instrument for middle-income families and overseas Filipino workers (OFWs). “In the past, only the bigger companies that could mount property projects could enjoy this success, while the small investor had no way of investing in it via the stock exchange,” Luchangco said. “With the introduction of the new rules and regulations for the implementation of the REIT law, the large

property developers are encouraged to take advantage of the incentives offered to them to list their assets on the Philippine Stock Exchange, thereby giving the small investors the opportunity to buy shares and participate in the profits being generated by the industry,” he added. As with the previous REIT offerings, Dominguez said the latest to be listed by Filinvest Land Incorporated in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) amid the COVID-19 pandemic underscores the confidence of investors in the economy’s solid recovery from the impact of the global contagion. “I wish Filinvest the best and thank its board, officers, and staff for their confidence in the strength of our economy. This REIT offering will be among the catalysts for our quick and strong economic recovery,” said Dominguez during the listing ceremony for the Filinvest REIT Corporation (FILREIT) at the PSE. Dominguez noted that FILREIT ’s portfolio of “Grade A” office and commercial properties located in strategic areas and catering primarily to the business process outsourcing (BPO) and information technology (IT) sectors will “surely provide attractive dividend yields for investors.” Filinvest has also acquired a well-earned reputation for sustainable and green buildings, which should inspire other developers and set the standard for eco-friendly designs that will help achieve the country’s climate ambition of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, said Dominguez, who is chairperson-designate of the Climate Change Commission (CCC). “With this REIT offering, I encourage Filinvest to further expand its portfolio of sustainable property developments, especially outside the Metro Manila area,” Dominguez said. FILREIT is the third REIT offering in the country after Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) and DoubleDragon Properties Corp. (DDPC) earlier listed their respec-

tive REITs in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) amid the pandemic. Despite being perhaps the biggest property developer in Cagayan de Oro today, Luchangco said Pueblo de Oro (PDO) is not considering undertaking a REIT offering in the near future. “PDO itself is not at this time in a position to mount a REIT because our business model has always been to develop and sell properties, whereas REITS require a very large proportion of lease properties, from which the company can generate a steady income flow. However, we are now considering the possibility of developing REIT-able projects in the future,” Luchangco noted. However, the taipan said although Investment & Capital Corporation of the Philippines (ICCP) is an investment house and we not in the property development business, it could still participate through the underwriting of REIT IPO issues which are coming to the market. “In fact, ICCP has already been a member of the underwriting syndicate that successfully launched the Double Dragon REIT of Injap Sia. Furthermore, we are in the syndicate which is preparing for the upcoming REIT of Megaworld. We plan to be involved in more REIT issues in the future,” he added. Dominguez said he is “fairly certain” that the country has gone through the worst part of the COVID-19 induced crisis and is well on its way to recovery, as evidenced by the economy’s second-quarter growth of 11.8 percent, which is the best quarterly performance in more than 30 years. “Despite the recent lockdown to contain the Delta variant, prospects for a strong economic rebound in 2021 remain promising. Our vaccination program, which is the most potent weapon we have against this unseen enemy, is proceeding at pace. This is a step closer to achieving herd immunity in the country,” the Finance Secretary said.

Developing Reading Skills Among Learners in the Absence of Teachers

Author: JOCEL DALAPO BERNADOS Designation: School Head School: KALIPAY NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

The development in education cannot be dissociated from that of science and technology or even the advancement in agriculture. Education needs to improve, and along with the result of this to our clients in the field. In relation to this, teaching and learning in the class demand creativity and innovations. Lessons today with the use of English as a medium of instruction that needs comprehension are not mastered by our students. While technology rapidly develops, it doesn’t guarantee to help students who struggle most in reading. Technology without students’ comprehension is still a useless thing. Reading is one of the four major skills that need to be learned and mastered aside from listening, speaking, and writing. It is a lifelong skill that is vital both in school and in the real world. For you to be called a reader, you must be able to identify words and understand them; that

makes you a reader. It is known to us that the greatest challenge we all face today is the pandemic brought by COVID-19. In the field of academe, the shift from face-to-face classes to distance learning massively affected the learning outcomes of the students. This also gives not only a big challenge for them but also for teachers. The fact remains that there are still students enrolled in the secondary level who struggle in reading. How can we expect them to learn the lessons from the modules when in fact we know that these modules are of no use to them? The absence of the teachers in the learning journey of these struggling readers has greatly affected them. Because teachers are unable to have a face-to-face with the students, we should find an alternative way. How can we help them develop their reading skills?

I have found an innovative way to address this concern. Community involvement is the best way to help these learners. The following are the suggested activities in the community to help struggling readers develop their reading skills: 1. Presentation of the activity to the barangay officials. It is really a must that this activity must be known to the leaders of the community. They can help in terms of communication, information, and support from the community. The LGU must ensure that there are available areas in the community (e.g., purok halls) where the reading program can be taken place. 2. Application as Reading Volunteers The community must encourage parents or anyone from the community who has the capabilities to volunteer as reading teachers in the community. 3. Capacitating Reading Volunteers and Parents in Teaching

Reading Request the reading coordinator of the school to have a series of training for the reading volunteers and parents. This will help the reading volunteers be equipped with skills on how to teach struggling readers. Moreover, this will help the parents as well teach their children at home. 4. Selection and Preparation of Reading Materials. The school where the community belongs can make use of the readymade available reading packages found in the school learning center. This may be a simple community involvement but this has a massive effect on our students who only desire to become readers in their grade level. As educators in the field, we know the destructive effect if one of our students is not capable of reading. It doesn’t only affect the student’s study habits, but also self-esteem. Let us become innovative and creative in this time of pandemic. Be responsive in the changing time.

officer also denied reports the food packs unloaded in covered courts in Barangay Nazareth and Iponan, will be brought to Misamis Oriental. “Atong klorohon nga ongoing ang atong distribution karon ug dili tinood ang nanggawas nga balita nga ang mga food packs nga anaa sa atong distribution centers pagadalhon ngadto sa Misamis Oriental,” the CIO said. MAGNUM EXPOSE Meanwhile, Magnum Radio anchorman Manny Agustero said the city only distributed the food packs after their station exposed the alleged hoarding of relief packs in covered courts in the city. “Kung wala nato i-expose kining mga food packs nga nakatanggong lang sa covered court sa Nazareth ug Iponan sulod na sa pila ka semana possible nga mangadaot na kini. Kining manga bugas nga gipang repack na manga abhong kini ug atakihon sa mga ilaga, the hard-hitting commentator of “Magnum Rapido” concluded.

regional office in this city, since the imposition of heightened alert levels in the city due to MECQ and ECQ, more than 12,000 workers in Cagayan de Oro have were stopped from their regular jobs. ON HOARDING ISSUE City Information Officer Maricel Casiño-Rivera told the media that the distribution of relief packs are now going on in the city. CIO Rivera denied reports that the relief packs were being hoarded by the city. “Dili tinood kadtong nanggawas nga balita nga adunay hoarding sa mga food packs. Gani padayon paman ang atong distribution sa mga business establishments nga na apektuhan sa pandemya ug maoy priority sa atong food packs,” she said. She said the City Government workers involved in the distribution were saddened by the false reports food packs were being kept in different covered courts in the city. Cit y Ad mi n ist rator Teddy Sabuga-a also denied reports the food packs unloaded in covered courts in Barangays Nazareth and Iponan, will be transferred in Misamis Oriental. This, even as the City residents have long been appealing for “ayuda” (food and financial support) He said the food packs are unloaded in different Barangays in the city for easy distribution. “Dili nga ato kining i-hoarding,” Sabuga-a clarified. Magnum R adio unearthed on Wednesday over thousands of food relief goods and repacked rice during its live broadcast. Thousands of food packs

and repacked rice were unloaded at a covered court in South City Central School in Barangay Nazareth. But barangay chairperson Junjun Rodriguez said no one from the city contacted him about this unloading of food relief packs in his barangay. Junjun Rodriguez is the nephew of City Councilor Jocelyn Rodriguez and Rep Rufus Rodriguez, the staunch critic of the Moreno administration.

Also seized were one unit white color Suzuki Ertiga wtih plate number KAB 6919 and one unit Toyota Tamaraw FX color red bearing plate number UFM 865. He said that the vehicles were submitted for verification by the Regional Highway Patrol Unit 10 whike the suspects were temporarily detained pending the filing of charges with violation of RA 9165, or the anti-illegal drug act. In commending the police operatives, Anduyan said: “Dili nato sila hatagan ug higayon nga maka padayon sa pag pamaligya sa iligal nga druga sa atong rehiyon ug atong maluwas ang katawhan gikan sa pagka biktima ilabina ang mga kabatan-onan nga mobuhat sa daotan tungod sa kawadon karong pandemya” (Let us not allow the sell of illegal drugs in the region in order to protect the youth from engaging in criminal activities, especially at this time of pandemic). Anduyan also exhorted the people in Northern Mindanao to support the police in the fight against all forms of criminality, a drug-free, and a lasting peace in the region.

and a 5 year-old boy as narrated by BAE Merlita Mayantao whose 5,000-ha. ancestral domain has been fenced into a ranch by a powerful corporation in 2016. When they protested, rain of bullets came one early morning while they were taking their coffee. Outrightly, three died (including her son} and three wounded (including her daughter who until was not operated, thus, the bullet is still inside her body.) As mentioned, these are just “a tip of the iceberg,” of the continuing life of oppression of the Indigenous People. Thus in one of the meetings, they asked, “Kami po ba ay tao o basura?” Isn’t it that the most oppressed, the poorest of the poor now, are our Indignous Peoples? NASAAN NA ANG IPRA LAW? NASAAN NA ANG AHENSYA NG GOBYERNO TINATAG PARA MAPAGLABAN ANG KANILANG KARAPATAN? The visit and dialogues of the Indigenous People with the amazing MRRDExecom Leader Cong Omar Fajardo together with ASEC. Ameenah Fajardo is a trailblazing moment that has created a great breakthrough to stop oppression, hunger and poverty. Cong. Omar has presented the roadmap of liberation, the empowering path to draw IPs into the mainstream of development processes. What was so amazing is the great trust of the IPs to their beloved President, Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte (MRRD). There was a great celebration when Cong. Omar committed to bring the IP issues to the President himself. Those who came have been shouting their commitment to

the present dispensation and should continue the pro-people leadership stating thar there is no greater grandeur sight on earth than to see a leader who is empowering the poor and the oppressed, fighting poverty as the number one enemy of the country and liberating the nation from the control of drug lords. The leader has even stopped the second longer war in the world – the Mindanao war. This truism was reinforced by the presentation of Asec. Ameenah who was appointed by the President to help the OFWs, the peasantry, persons with disabilities, the single parents, the Indigenous Peoples and even the rebel surrenderees. Ang sigaw po nila, “mahal naming Pangulong Duterte ipagpatuloy po ninyo ang inyong liderato. Kami po ay taos pusong sumusuporta sa inyo.” Cong Omar and Asec Ameenah also inter-acted with the former combatants of the North Eastern Mindanao Front under commander Bravo in Rogongon, Lanao del Norte. They have organized themselves into cooperative and by harnessing their collective potentials will now uproot the causes of protracted war through cooperativism. Asec Ameenah had put in clear categorical term the road to peace in Mindanao by presenting the programs of DTI not only on providing livelihood, not only in making their lands productive but more on developing their human potentials. Indeed, developing human capital should be foremost priority to empower the people so that the constitutional declaration that “sovereignty resides with the people and all governmental powers emanate from them” should be put in motion. Indeed, the welfare of the people is the supreme law! Never shall we allow the Indigenous People to be continuously oppressed by the Oligarchs in cohort with powers-thatbe. That is the courageous pronouncement of Cong. Omar Fajardo which is now reverberating throughout the land. That is the OFWsMRRD’s roadmap to liberate the Indigenous Peoples from hunger, poverty and oppression.

the first batch arrived in the Philippines late February. It has set up 24 vaccination sites across the country to inoculate members of priority groups across LGUs, the Ayala Group, and partner companies. “AC Health will remain committed to supporting the country’s vaccination efforts and will continue to strengthen our partnerships with our LGUs and private sector partners, in order to vaccinate at the requisite scale and speed and to help achieve our nation’s goal of achieving herd immunity at year-end. We are proud to leverage the full strength of our network, with Healthway and QualiMed leading site operations and vaccine administration, and HealthNow functioning as our vaccine management platform to meet our goal of administering 1 million doses within 2021,” Borromeo said. Looking beyond COVID: Building the country’s first dedicated cancer specialty hospital According to Borromeo, as AC Health continues to invest in improving healthcare in the Philippines, it will not put all its eggs in one basket. Instead, it will strike a balance between battling COVID-19 and addressing other health issues unrelated to the pandemic. Last month, AC Health officially broke ground for the construction of Healthway Cancer Care Center, the

Philippines’ first dedicated specialty cancer hospital. The 100-bed facility, which is expected to be completed in July 2023, will offer a complete range of cancer services from screening, diagnosis, treatment to postcancer care. The Healthway Cancer Care Center will be equipped with 20 chemotherapy chairs, 4 operating theaters, and state of the art diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, optimized for cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment. The Ayala Group has invested over P2 billion for this facility and has partnered with VarianCTSI, a leading oncology service provider, to develop and operate it. Beyond the cancer hospital, AC Health aims to leverage its integrated healthcare network to expand its oncology services. A hub-andspoke model, involving its integrated clinic and hospital network, allows AC Health to drive access to affordable cancer care for patients across the country. As such, Healthway and QualiMed will serve as “spokes” of the model and extensions of the cancer hospital “hub.” This provides patients more avenues to seek consultation and have easier access to cancer screening and detection. The vision of this model is to provide impact and solutions to the many Filipinos in need of cancer services. “The eventual growth of the healthcare industry will be largely dependent on its ability to regain patient trust and confidence to continue looking after non-COVID healthcare issues. AC Health remains in a unique position to ride on these key trends with our expanded ecosystem of endto-end services and platforms for all patients and customers,” Borromeo said.
