ILIGAN City--The Iligan Diocese is now getting ready to welcome its fifth bishop to be installed on September 5, this year, after one year and six months that the diocese was “vacant”. Bishop-elect Jose Rapadas, 47, the incumbent Vicar General of the Diocese of Ipil in Zamboanga Sibugay, was appointed by Pope Francis in Vatican on June 13, this year. Rapadas will be ordained on August 20 in Ipil and will be the youngest bishop in the Philippines. The previous bishop, Most Reverend Elenito Galido, died on December 5, 2017 because of illness. He was 64 and was on his 11th year serving as fourth bishop of the Diocese of Iligan. Most Reverend Severo See BISHOP, page 11

PRESIDENTIAL Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar described on Monday former Environment Secretary Gina Lopez as an environmental advocate whose strong anti-illegal mining stance was “contagious.” Lopez, 65, died on Monday from multiple organ failure after battling

cancer, according to a statement from ABS-CBN. “Gina was one of the original members of the Duterte Cabinet that I had the privilege working closely with, especially during the height of her anti-illegal mining campaign,” Andanar said in a statement. “Gina’s passion to save the world was contagious.

DILG 10 to Misor punong brgys: Make government be felt, end insurgency CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY-“Our barangay governments are with us because we want the government to be proximate, and our challenge to our Punong Barangays is to make the government be felt by ensuring that we will effectively deliver our services to the people.” This is the statement of Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) 10 Regional Director Arnel M. Agabe during the conduct of “Ugnayan at Talakayan sa Barangay cum Enhancement Training on Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Council, Peace and Order Council, and EO 70.” He urged Misamis Oriental Punong Barangays to push for the operationalization of EO 70, otherwise known as the “Whole-ofNation Approach” to end insurgency. “We invited you to this

activity because being considered as the ‘grassroots government’, you are the ones who directly provide services to our people, which makes the roles of our Punong Barangays critical in the Ending the Local Communist Armed Conflict (ELCAC),” Agabe said. DILG 10 already issued a memorandum dated July 12, 2019 on the creation and functionality of a local task force to ELCAC down to the barangay level to fast-track implementation in addressing root causes of insurgencies, internal disturbances and tensions, and other armed conflicts and threats via EO 70. “With EO 70 being a ‘Whole-of-Nation Approach’, we expect that it will not only be the national government’s concern, but rather a harmonized effort See FELT, page 11

communication coordination, and support system.

Colleges in a dilemma THE World Economic Forum (WEF) released a result of a survey that 93 percent of freelancers in America with a four-year degree said that skill training was useful. This means that skills for job preparation are necessary. It was reported by CNBC. com, November 8, 2018. I posted this report on my facebook account on Friday, August 16, 2019. A comment by a friend of mine, a Professor from Malaysia, Dr. Munir Shuib stating that he agreed. But, it needs to balance knowledge development and values and industrial readiness. Otherwise, universities will become just factories for employers.This is a brilliant response. Regarding the WEF report and my friend’s idea, I remember the Asia Summit. It was held by IBC-Asia, at

Grand Waterfront Hotel, in Singapore in October 19-20, 2014. Many educators and businessmen from industries discussed this same topic. In that forum, I was also a panelist. I talked about the balance between the two dichotomies. One is universities as science and technology development. The other is universities as job preparation. There was a dilemma. All the discussants were inclined towards the preparation for industries and jobs. They wanted universities to prepare the students for jobs. It was interesting during the discussion attended by many participants. They were from the countries of different continents: America, Australia, Asia, and ASEAN, and also Europe. The topic was “How much emphasis are univer-

sities putting into partnership?” This is a big question that might apply till today. Referring to the result of the survey by WEF, it seems the problem still exists now. Unfortunately, by the end of the Asia Summit at that time, there was no clear conclusion. How much emphasis are universities putting into partnership? Today, it is more disruptive. The fourth industrial revolution (4-IR) has its consequences. More industries or companies are reducing their employees. The technology developments can replace human resources. The existing artificial intelligence (AI) is the key to the revolution. More and more, industries reduce their staff. They can replace them by using the machine. There is a dilemma for

Dr. Djuwari

colleges. Where are they directed to? If they are pragmatic, they have to prepare their students for jobs. In this condition, they can teach skills. The skills are for jobs in the future. The key success will be the accuracy of determining the skills. The skills are for the uncertainty in the future. What skills are applicable for the 4-IR and the disruptive circumstance? It is not easy if AI can be the answer to this job preparation. Another impact is real. When all colleges are prepared to become pragmatic, there will be a danger. See COLLEGES, page 11

Feng Shui Master

Court Case Feng Shui!

IT’s my luck to have Feng Shuied great lawyers of the Philippines and helped them let alone clients with legal battles that won using Feng Shui. From bouncing checks, estates, to other collection cases, breach of contract, employment cases, and yes, Filipino citizenship cases. Worst but best is giving a second chance for those with murder cases wrongfully accused! It all began in my consultancy with a secretary unjustly bullied by a multinational bank in a labor case. Back against the wall, she tried Feng Shui out of desperation and first time

in Philippines labor case history won! Then a big flourmill as well as at the same time the other outfit was the largest candle maker in the country both faced labor cases, resorting to the usual then unusual Feng Shui remedy for legal winnings they won justly and fairly. A historical election citizenship issue of both father and daughter were equally resolved offbooks laterally with a Feng Shui remedy. A government administrator in preventive suspension investigation by the Ombudsman tried this remedy and was cleared morally publicly to honor

his name! Many a client in constructive dismissal cases won hefty sums against exploitation of labor by multinational tech firms nowadays using this singular remedy. Many a politician survived public ostracism and banishment under the law with this special court case Feng Shui. A noted celebrity lawyer won a string of 21 court cases in succession enough to merit attention to become the top lawyer of powers that be of the country and yes, beautiful celebrity actresses! What is court case Feng Shui and it’s secret legal

Master Aldric

remedy? Only for the seriously concerned, it is classified matter duly revealed in confidentiality with the proper Feng Shui acceptance fees! It bears the wisdom of the ages for winning legal cases, let alone be as it may Spratlys included! Curious? I rest my case your honors for your perusal and executive decision with dispatch which will be greatly appreciated and reciprocated! Good luck.

Of festival and blressings

THE different activities and event of the 34th Kadayawan Festival in Davao City kept me very busy and enjoyable too. That’s the reason, why this column is being published a little bit late. But, not to late, because Kadayawan will be going on up to the end of this month of August. Of course, as a member of the Davao City’s (Mindanao’s) Consular Corps, I am receiving invitations as German Consul for Mindanao for most all different events of this amazing and awesome festival. While writing this piece, the festival is still ongoing. The celebration offers an incredible array of activities full of fun and joy: dance group competition (just experienced yesterday, grabe!), street party and a food trip at the strip. Sure, Kadayawan is also about the indulgence in the best cuisines that Davao has to

offer. Kadayawan is indeed a fest of sorts. Living and working in Davao City since almost 21 years now, I observed this festival is becoming more and more awesome. As our good mayor Inday Sara Duterte said during the launching, “We celebrate it annually not just to give Dabawenyos a reason to celebrate; we do it o we do not forget where we come from and what blessings we have received through the years, blessings which we continue to receive”. Living in Davao City, I strongly agree: We have been blessed not just with natural resources but favorable climate conditions, a thriving economy and peace and order. I go further. While observing global disputes at any corner, we are blessed in Mindanao. Not only Dabawenyos are showing the whole word

how to get together as a multicultural community. Yes, this year’s Kadayawan is indeed different, as most events have spread during the weekends of the month of August to ensure the city will be able to accommodate more visitors. I was surprised meeting you so many people during so many events from different countries. First time ever, I came to together with Vice Mayor Sebastian Z. Duterte. He said, “A bountiful harvest, rich natural resources, disciplined an resilient people, dedicated public servants, safe community and a lot of wonderful opportunities.” Yes, we have to be thankful for everything, while looking to so many place on earth, where the situations look different and scaring. I still remember then Davao City Mayor and now President Rodrigo

Klaus Doring

Duterte saying in 2009, “ With global warming and climate change a very real phenomenon in our lives now, we need to look to our indigenous people for wisdom and guidance as they have been respectful towards their relationship with the earth!” The Presidentsaid this ten years ago ... ! Happy Kadayawan 2019! God bless Mindanao. God bless the Philippines! +++ Email : dor ing klau s @ gmail.com or follow me in Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin or visit my blogs www. germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot.com or www. klausdoringsclassicalmusic. blogspot.com.

Helping address the prevalence of child-wasting

Energy firm STEAG State Power Inc. (SPI), together with its LGU partners in Tagoloan and Villanueva, Misamis Oriental hosts a series of child nourishment and responsible parenting seminar attended by parents and local health workers to help curb the gnawing problem on malnutrition and wasting. The seminar underscores the importance of proper nourishment, especially during the child’s very early stage in life or the first 1,000 days from conception to two years. Child-wasting or stunting, which refers to children being too short for their age, is a severe health threat that could cause irreversible damage to brain capacity. A 2017 UNICEF Global Nutrition Report revealed that more than 29,000 children are dying annually due to the high prevalence of undernutrition in the Philippines.

Farmers affected by rice tariffication to get P1.5 billion loan aid By LILYBETH ISON

M A N I L A- - T h e g o v ernment will roll out a PHP1.5-billion loan program for farmers who were affected by the Rice Tariffication Law (RTL) due to the influx of cheaper imports. At the sidelines of a forum on hybrid rice on Friday, Agriculture Secretary William D. Dar said instead of the initial conditional cash transfer to help the rice farmers, which would cost the government about PHP6 billion to provide PHP5,000 to some 1.1 million rice farmers, the Department of Agriculture (DA) changed it to a onetime loan program. Dar said under the pro-

gram, the affected rice farmers tilling one hectare of land and below may avail of a PHP15,000-loan via the Expanded Survival and Recovery Assistance Program for Rice Farmers (SURE Aid). Under the SURE Aid, which will start on Sept. 1, 2019, rice farmers who are farming one-hectare land and below, may avail of a one-time, zero-interest loan amounting to PHP15,000 payable up to eight years. The National Food Authority (NFA) will also buy the produce of rice farmers who avail of the loan assistance under the said program. “This loan assistance is a manifestation of the

strong desire of the government to help Filipino rice farmers,” Dar said. SURE Aid aims to provide loan assistance for immediate relief to rice farmers affected by the reduction or loss of their farm income. The program also intends to help rice farmers regain their capacity to continue their production. “We will continue to look at measures to improve the living conditions of our rural stakeholders. Rest assured that with RCEF, farmers will increase productivity and earn more,” Dar said. “At the end of the day, aangat lahat (everybody will prosper),” he added. (PNA)

MANILA--Singapore Airlines (SIA) is enhancing its environmentally-sustainable practices, and targets to become entirely plastic straw-free by September, an executive in its Philippine office said on Friday. The move is the carrier’s way of being environmentally responsible and promoting sustainability. Lee Yong Tat, SIA general manager, said the carrier is committed to reducing the use of single-use plastics, providing alternative materials for in-flight items. “We aim to become entirely plastic straw-free by September,” Lee told the Philippine News Agency (PNA), adding that SIA started removing plastic straws on-board since 2018. Paper straws will be used instead. Also, SIA targets

replacing plastic swizzle sticks with wood-based ones by next month, he added. Since May, SIA have replaced the polybags packaging of children’s toys with recyclable material. The toys are being given to children travelers. Meanwhile, SIA has been exerting efforts to reduce food wastage. In 2018, the airline started conducting surveys, gather data analytics, staff feedback and coordinated with its caterers to minimize food wastage. According to Lee, SIA is currently exploring on automated data collection as well as in using AI (artificial intelligence) to better know or predict the customers’ consumption patterns. Knowing their consumption patterns would help SIA adjust the food quantities to further minimize wastage, See EYES, page 10

BFP official takes up cudgels for elderly couple in CDO fire By JIGGER JERUSALEM

CAGAYAN de Oro City--A Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) official has asked the fire victims in Barangay Puntod, this city, on Saturday (Aug. 17) not to take legal action against the elderly couple who were tagged as responsible for the blaze. Senior Fire Officer 3 Samson Velarde said the fire originated at the kitchen of Apolinario Diaz, 74, and his wife Leoncia, 68, at about 8:50 a.m. “Fire out” was declared at 11:14 a.m. He said Leoncia left the rice she was cooking to attend to another chore, resulting in the fire that quickly spread in their makeshift house and neighboring residences. “Leoncia called her husband and tried to put out the fire but they could no longer extinguish it. They ran away as their whole house was eaten up by the flame,” Velarde said. Among those injured in the incident were the Diaz couple, Sherwin Tahuyan, 39, and Richard Capahigal, 26. “All those injured were rushed to a nearby hospital. They sustained minor burns,” Velarde said. Most of the houses in the area are made of light and highly flammable materials. The Diazes could be held

liable for the fire and could be charged with criminal negligence, but Velarde said neighbors who lost their homes and properties should consider their age before planning on taking any legal action. The BFP and City Social Welfare and Development Office estimated that close to a hundred families were rendered homeless as the conflagration also spread to a neighborhood in Barangay Lapasan. It was also fortunate, Velarde said, that the fire was contained before it could reach the nearby fuel depot and the seaport. “There was a danger that the flame could spread to the depot, but we sized up the situation immediately, and positioned several fire trucks between the burning houses and the fuel facility,” he said. Velarde said they initiated “cover exposure” right away by dousing the depot premises with water even before the flame could reach the area. He said the port authority and the fuel depot management coordinated with the BFP and deployed their own fire trucks to help. Velarde advised the fuel company to extend its firewall so that it would exceed the height of its fuel tanks. (PNA)

Framework up Security upgrade sought in Tagum’s checkpoints for barter trading in Mindanao By Tagum City Information Office

By DIGNA BANZON

DAVAO CITY--The Mindanao Barter Trade Council is set to convene to hammer out regulations that will provide a framework for barter trading activities on the island, an official said. Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) Assistant Secretary Romeo Montenegro said Thursday the council by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) would meet within the month to craft guidelines as initially proposed by the Bureau of Customs. “There has to be a frame-

work that will guide the practice of barter trading in the island-provinces, particularly Tawi-Tawi and Sulu,” Montenegro said. “Barter trading has been in existence but there has been no regulations, no framework, no taxation, no nothing at all,” he added. He said the government has allowed barter trade on the island as it has been a traditional mode of trading goods between the islanders and their neighbors in Malaysia and Indonesia, for instance.

SSS members may now avail of unemployment benefit THE state-run Social Security System (SSS) announced Monday that its members who were involuntarily separated from employment may now avail of the unemployment or involuntary separation benefit. The unemployment benefit, one of the landmark provisions of Republic Act 11199 or the Social Security Act of 2018, is the seventh benefit program of the SSS. Member-applicants may be granted a cash benefit equivalent to half of their average monthly salary credit (AMSC) for a maximum of two months. SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Aurora C. Ignacio said that through the new benefit program, SSS covered employees which include kasambahay and overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are given additional social security protection. “The unemployment

insurance or involuntary separation benefit intends to provide SSS members who are involuntarily separated from employment with a temporary source of income to support themselves and their families while they are on the process of finding a new job,” Ignacio said. “For example, a member who’s earning P10,000 per month was involuntarily separated from employment. The member may be granted cash assistance for a maximum period of two months. The cash assistance is equivalent to one half of the member’s AMSC which in this case is P5,000 per month or a total of P10,000 for the two-month period of the member’s unemployment.” Ignacio explained. As stated in the SSS Circular No. 2019011 issued earlier this month, qualified covered employees must not be more than 60

years old at the time of involuntary separation. Underground and surface mineworker, and racehorse jockey members, on the other hand, must not be more than 50 and 55 years old, respectively. Likewise, the member must have paid at least 36 monthly contributions with 12 months of these should have been paid within the 18-month period before the month of involuntary separation. Availees must also, have no settled unemployment benefit within the last three years prior to the date of involuntary separation. Further, the reason for such separation must not be the fault of the employee or a result of the employee’s negligence which may be caused by the following but not limited to installation of labor-saving devices, redundancy, retrenchment, closure or cessation of operation,

Barter... from page 8

Duterte issued Executive Order 64 in October last year for the revival of barter trading in Mindanao to promote the island’s growth and development. The order also constituted the Mindanao Barter Council, tasked to “supervise, coordinate, and harmonize policies, and programs” on barter trading in the island. Montenegro said the formulation of rules will be coordinated with the Bangsamoro Administrative Region for Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), as the regional government will have management over the barter trading areas of Tawi-Tawi and Sulu. “ The government is looking at it as a possible mechanism by which the people in the two areas will be given the opportunity to trade more actively, proactively with the enabling policy supported by the guidelines once it is adopted,” he said. Montenegro underscored the importance of cross-border trading involving Tawi-Tawi and Sulu residents and their neighboring islands in Malaysia and Indonesia, pointing out that it is cheaper to trade EXTRA-JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT WITH A DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE OF A PARCEL OF LAND Notice is hereby given that the intestate estate of the late MELQUIADES EDUAVE, who died on DECEMBER 12, 2001 at Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC), Cagayan de Oro City; That the said deceased, at the time of their death, left a Parcel of Land situated in the BARRIO OF CARMEN, CITY OF CAGAYAN DE ORO, ISLAND OF MINDANAO, with all its improvements found therein and more particularly described as follows: TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION, TRANSFER CERTIFICATE OF TITLE NO. : T-50353; A Parcel of LAND (Lot 3131-I-9-C, Psd-10-002876, being a portion of Lot 3131-I-9, Psd-10-002185) Situated in the Barrio of Carmen, City of Cagayan de Oro, Island of Mindanao; containing an area of TWO HUNDRED EIGHTEEN (218) Square Meters, more or less; are the subject of EXTRA-JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT WITH A DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE OF A PARCEL OF LAND; made and entered by and between; That the SURVIVING LEGAL HEIRS of the deceased, MELQUIADES EDUAVE, represented by his legal spouse, MARILYN CASIMIRO EDUAVE and their legitimate children namely: EVELYN JANE EDUAVE TANDOG, of legal age, Filipino citizen, married, and a resident of Purok 7, Libona Bukidnon; and ALEXIS KIM CASIMIRO EDUAVE, likewise of legal age, Filipino citizen, single, and a resident of #037 Zone 1, Upper Balulang, Cagayan de Oro City, in Favor of EVELYN JANE EDUAVE TANDOG, of legal age, Filipino heir citizen, married and a resident of Purok 7, Libona Bukidnon; that for and in consideration of the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS ONLY (Php50,000.00) Philippine Currency, receipt of said amount is herbey acknowledge by the SELLER/ VENDOR after the amount is paid in hand by the BUYER or VENDEE the SELLER/S or VENDER/S hereby SELL, CEDE, TRANSFER and CONVEY the above-described PARCEL OF LAND ONLY A PORTION CONSISTING OF OBE HUNDRED NINE (109) SQUARE METERS, more or less in favor of the Buyers of VENDEES their heirs, assigns or successors-in-interest, free from any liens and encumbrances, free from any third-party claimant whomsoever and the same is nontenanted; Under Notary Public of Atty.

DAVAO CITY -- Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go has challenged the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) to regain the trust of the people after being embroiled in corruption issues. “I challenge the new management of PhilHealth to check on these anomalies and irregularities,” he said in an interview here on Saturday night regarding the alleged fraudulent claims, ghost payments and upcasing or misdeclaration of clinical diagnosis in the agency. Issues of corruption and the reported existence of a “mafia” within the government-controlled corporation surfaced at a joint inquiry of the blue ribbon and health committees in the Senate last week. Go, chair of the Senate Health Committee, wanted to get answers from the previous management of PhilHealth about its alleged failure to settle its financial obligations to private hospitals. “Merong sabwatan yan (There is connivance) between the officials and the hospitals,” the neophyte

A lot of people are getting sick. Why do they need to beg when that is their money?” Go said. He also stressed that people are fed up with reasons, so the government should give solutions to the issue. In his previous interviews, Go said the new management of PhilHealth must be given ample time to address the problem. However, he emphasized that it does not mean that they are being lenient on them. “So dapat managot ang dapat managot (Those responsible have to be accountable),” he added. The senator stressed that in order to continue the operation of hospitals, the remittances must be submitted by PhilHealth. Go visited Davao City on Saturday evening to extend financial and relief assistance to families and individuals affected by a fire on Friday. About 150 houses in Isla Verde, Barangay 23-C here, were destroyed in the said incident.

Bishop... from page 1

Caermare, Bishop of Dipolog, has been overseeing the diocese after he was named by Pope Francis as apostolic administrator a day after the death of Galido. Msgr. Rey Patian, Vicar General of Iligan Diocese said, the preparations include the making of the bishop’s coat of arms, his cathedra or throne and the selection of the people or priest who will take every part of the installation. Fatherless diocese Iligan City will be celebrating again it annual fiesta on September 29 with a new bishop to lead. In 2018, the annual Pakanaug rite or the start of the fiesta of its patron saint, St. Michael de Archangel, was lead by Bishop Caermare. Patian said a bishop plays a very important role in a diocese as he is the person in authority to oversee the local church and “a diocese is not a diocese unless it is supervised or overseen by a bishop”. “He is the guardian of faith in his local jurisdiction since the diocese is territorial. A diocese without a bishop is not complete,” Patian said in a press briefing held on Saturday The details Glemend Stained Glass Fabrication Services, a Cebu-based company that designs stained glass windows for churches in the Visayas and Mindanao, was contracted to enhance the altar design, including the making of the commentator’s podium, the bishop’s thrones and his coat of arms, the kandelabra or candle holders. A reliable source said it all cost P4 million. Patian did not confirm the amount but answered “close to that” when ask to confirm it. The commentator’s podium is made of dura board in white and brown. On it are carved intricate gold swirls and patterns. A worker said, it took them almost a month to finish the podium as it required a steady hands and patience to put on the gold foil as coloring. As of August 17, the bishop’s coat of arms is still unfinished. Guests and visitors Ambassador of Vatican to the Philippines, Papal Nuncio Gabriele Giordano Caccia, twenty bishops and around 200 priests from all over the Philippines are expected to arrive during the installation according to Patian. “Aside from representatives from different religious community, we are also expecting political personalities to attend the event because we are extending our invitations to the governor and two congressmen and municipal mayors of Lanao del Norte and congressman and mayor of Iligan City. Iligan Diocese covers Iligan City and the whole

province of Lanao del Norte. This will make the security in the city proper tightened and telecommunication signals will be cut shortly before 9:00am on September 5 until after or before 12:00 noon of the same day. “We have requested the telecommunication companies to jam the signal although it is always SOP (standard operating procedure) for them to do so if there are big events,” Patian said. During paying of homage to the new bishop, after the enthronement to his cathedra or chair called canonical taking position, Fr. Tim Ofracio will serve as the canonical emcee to be assisted by Fr. Elija Sansona. Requested by Rapadas, Bishop Caermare will be the homilist of the celebration while seminarian Jodel Sansarona will be the floor emcee. Who is who? Archbishop Martin Jumoad will be the installing prelate of Rapadas on September 5. Jumoad is the archbishop of Ozamiz that covers 14 towns and three cities of Misamis Occidental with ecclesiastical territories that include the dioceses of Iligan, Pagadian and Dipolog and the prelature of Marawi. Fr. Eduard Labadisos will read the Papal Bull or the “mandate from Rome” in Latin, English and in vernacular. The Papal Bull contains the appointment of the person being installed as bishop. Media accreditation The Iligan Diocese, according to Patian, will make sure that the solemnity of the installation will be preserved. Journalist covering the event must be accredited by the diocese media ministry. They will be given a car pass, a button pins and a wrist band “for inclusivity purposes”. Journalists are not allowed to do a facebook live or do a live report, in the case of those who are working for a radio station, while inside the cathedral and the event is going on. The installation will last for about two hours according to Patian.

maverick and patriot. The world will not be the same without a Gina Lopez,” he added. Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, meanwhile, admitted that he and Lopez did not always agree on the same policies but never lost respect for each other. “We had some slight differences on certain policies during our stint as members of the cabinet but remained as friends,” Medialdea said. “We extend our condolences to the entire family and shall offer prayers for the eternal repose of her soul. Rest in peace, Gina…” he added. Former Special Assistant to the President and now Senator Christopher “Bong” Go thanked Lopez for her service and for being a model of true service to the Filipino people. Go described her as “passionate, dedicated and humble” and “a public servant and as an Earth warrior.” “She was a fearless advocate and a tireless philanthropist, dedicating most of her life for the betterment of her fellow Filipinos. Her exceptional dedication in protecting our environment has no equal today,” Go said. “Ma’am Gina, taus-pusong pasasalamat po sa inyong hindi napapantayang serbisyo sa kapwa Pilipino. Isa kang katangi-tanging modelo ng tunay na pagmamalasakit sa kapwa tao (my most sincere thank you for your unmatched service for fellow Filipinos. You are a model or true service to Filipino). May your legacy continue for the generations to come,” he added. Duterte appointed Lopez as Environment Secretary but was rejected by the Commission on Appointments (CA) on May 3, 2017. During her term, Lopez ordered the closure of overmining companies as these affected watersheds, and also threatened to ban openpit mining in the country, a move which did not sit well with the mining industry. Prior to being Environment chief, Lopez was also long-time chairperson of ABS-CBN Foundation Inc. (AFI). (PNA)

world research universities are now the prevailing topic. Scientists are needed. Otherwise, science and technology cannot develop. This is the real dilemma. In this phenomenon, the national leaders in any country should be aware of it. They should design the national education system correctly and appropriately. In facing the dilemma, colleges should be divided into two parts. One is those designed for job preparation. The other is those directed towards science and technology development. The 4-IR and its consequences need to be addressed. It should be in the real strategy. The national leaders can lead all the regional government leaders to tackle this problem. They should altogether focus on the strategy of human resources. What skills are prepared for the future jobs? What jobs should be created? The former question will address universities as a job preparation. The latter question will direct universities into the science and technology develeopment. These two questions can be discussed together by the national leaders and the regional government leaders.

Oro Designers look to break glass ceiling (Part 2)

By MIKE BAÑOS

Oro Design Initiatives BESIDES Design de Oro, other groups seek to expand the local base of designers in their specific niches like fashion design and styling, and graphics design. The Oro Fashion Designers Guild (OFDG) was organized in 2006 with Casiño as one if its founding members. They started the Mindanao Fashion Summit as a six-day show by then president Gil Macaibay III, VP Mark Christopher Yaranon, Alma Mae Roa, Benjie S. Manuel and Joshua Guibone in 2011. Although the first edition also featured capability building events like talks on current trends and the like, Yaranon admits the subsequent summits were unable to maintain such initiatives but said OFDG remains open to collaborative opportunities to design initiatives to widen the vision and capabilities of local fashion designers and stylists. Similarly, the first Oro Design Conference was organized by CDO-based graphic designer Karl Adrian Aguro last February as an avenue for local artists, particularly in graphic design, to learn from experts and meet with fellow artists in the region for future collaborative projects. “This was meant for the growing community of designers in Cagayan de Oro and Northern Mindanao,” Aguro said. “We have a diverse set of talents here.” A fine arts graduate of the University of San Carlos in Cebu, Aguro runs a design studio that specializes in branding and identity, print and publishing, and packaging design. Inspired by similar design conferences in Manila, Cebu, and Davao, Aguro and his team envisions Cagayan de Oro to have its own annual design conference so local artists would not have to go elsewhere. Later this week, a Digital Artisan workshop will be held from Aug 22-28 at the FAB LAB Mindanao in Iligan City to train designers to use digital tools to collaborate with and encourage SMEs to avail of FAB LAB services to improve the quality and design of their products. The workshop is sponsored by DCP with DTI with Swiss-American architect, design educator and author Architect Tobias

Guggenheimer as main speaker. He is the CEO of School of Fashion and the Arts, he was formerly professor and administrator at Pratt Institute School of Architecture, Parsons School of Design and Fordham University. FAB LAB Mindanao aims to be the venue where researchers can craft prototypes of their designs. Through its equipment, FAB LAB Mindanao also aims to assist in the product development of the small and medium enterprises in the region. Future Plans In fact, Gomez is already brainstorming with other senior designers for a Design Show featuring architects, interior designers, visual artists, fashion and product designers, and all other designers who are part of the regional design ecosystem to meet up in a Getting To Know You (GTKY) fellowship, celebrate design and showcase Metro Cagayan de Oro and Northern Mindanao. “We envision a Multidisciplinary Design Event like Cebu’s which intersects performance and visual arts, architecture and interior design, product design, fashion designers and stylist, and graphic designers in one venue which made Cebu one of the creative cities of Asia in 2006.” Eventually, Gomez said they envision a regional showcase along the lines of the iconic Manila FAME showcasing products with design driven products with superior quality and raw materials from Metro Cagayan de Oro. Design Philosophy

Fe Quiblat-Gonzales, a retired pioneer staff of the Design Center of the Philippines, said that while she admires the upcoming batch of designers for being mostly self-taught, she believes a further focus on design philosophy would help them even more. Personally mentored by National Artists Arturo R. Luz (who established the DCP in 1970 as its founding executive director) and Jerry Navarro Elizalde (former DCP Director for Graphics), Quiblat-Gonzales served as DCP’s Research Division Chief of Product Development for over two decades where she was charged with design workshops that stressed the critical need for discussion before execution, given the inherent limitation of the

design processes. “She piloted the development of Handmade Paper in the Philippines and is the brains behind various design projects such as Hinabi, Philippine Ethic Motifs and softened natural fibers,” added daughter Clara Marie Asuncion G. Elizaga, herself an industrial design cum laude graduate of De La Salle UniversityCollege of St. Benilde and ran Nazca Design Studio in Cagayan de Oro with her husband Elson during the 1990s. “They should integrate a design philosophy into their individual design capabilities because based on what I’ve seen, they are still wanting in this aspect of the design process,” QuiblatGonzales noted. “All designers should

have a design philosophy. Most of them have that in their heads, though they probably just don’t realize or cannot verbalize it, especially considering how most of them did not have any formal schooling in design. A design philosophy can be the foundation of their designs because it gives them something to lean on.” Since she was a chemical engineer by training, Ms. Quiblat-Gonzales initially had misgivings about her ability to work on design but DCP Design Director Nicolaas Al de Lange ( the first Filipino Industrial Designer graduate of Pratt University in the US) advised her “You know your materials and processes, go on!. I am forever thankful to him.”

The retired DCP designer said budding designers should emphasize their individual design philosophy to strengthen their mind sets once they start designing. “ They will be more confident if their design philosophy, which is the foundation of their design concern, is mentioned or emphasized,” she added. “Every designer has that in their minds once they start stating the design problem. For instance, if I provide inputs to our designers (as the head of the DCP research division for product development whose function is to provide data/ information to be used by designers in their design works), I should always aim to provide them a combination of new techniques/new material, updated design trends, information or work on any drastic change or deviation from the existing.” Thus, some may say simplicity guides them to sophistication; others follow “form follows function” while still other believe “forms goes with function.” Still others who are focused on marketing will focus more on understanding their customers. As Yves Behar, often regarded as one of the most influential industrial designers alive (and chief creative officer of Jawbone) likes to say “the work of a designer is really at the intersection of commerce and culture”. For young designers, it is important to imbibe this philosophy — that designs are good only when they are a part of culture, not just commerce.
