ILIGAN City--A parish priest from one of the parishes in Lanao del Norte died due to cardiac arrest, Tuesday morning, August 20, in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay. Fr. Chito Soganub said around 250 priests from all over the Philippines were preparing for the Episcopal ordination of Bishop-elect Jose Rapadas at 9 a.m. on August 19 when Fr. Albert Trazo was seen sweating. He was immediately brought to the nearby hospital but expired while on the way. “I just heard they are looking for a rescue and ambulance and I learned that Fr. Trazo was brought to the hospital,” Soganub said in a phone interview. While the homily was ongoing, somebody was looking for “a priest from Iligan” because Trazo has to be prayed over. “The next information we got, he was dead,” Soganub said. Trazo is presently serving a parish priest in Maigo, Lanao del Norte, which is under the territorial

Clarin town launches Balay Silangan CLARIN, Misamis Occidental, Aug. 13 (PIA) --The Municipality of Clarin, together with Philippine National Police (PNP), Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and other partner agencies, launched Balay Silangan, the 4th in Misamis Occidental and 9th in Northern Mindanao. The ‘Balay Silangan’ offers a three-month in-house program with three phases focusing on Republic Act 9165 otherwise known as ‘The Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002’, personal and life skills, and livelihood programs primarily for the drug pushers. This serves as an instrument for the reformation of drug personalities who availed of the plea bargaining. A community- based reformation center called “Balay Silangan” or House of Hope intended for the use and rehabilitation of drug offenders is formally turned over and opened at Barangay Lapasan, Clarin, Misamis Occidental. In his message, Mayor David Navarro expressed his (Shaine Mae R. Nagtalon/PIA MISAMIS OCCIDENTAL)

conviction and support to President Rodrigo Duterte’s strong war against illegal drugs. He also said the establishment of Balay Silangan strengthens the town’s intention to become free from all forms of illegal drugs and turn the drug users into productive members of the community. The mayor said the local government unit here, however, cannot do anything without the support of all the stakeholders in the municipality. He challenged all the barangay officials to double their effort in securing the municipality.

Thru collaboration of different stakeholders, we are providing our former rebels an opportunity to renew their way of life; to be productive and responsible citizens in the community,” he said. Fabic said through the training the former rebels will acquire the necessary skills that will provide the opportunity for income-generating projects later.

PCOO SECRETARY MARTIN ANDANAR ON URBAN DICTIONARY’S DEFINITION OF ‘DUTERTE’ WE strongly denounce the act of associating the name of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte with degrading words such as “scam” and “traitor.” The online content featured in the Urban Dictionary are contributed by anyone who has access to their website, and voted upon by unaccredited editors. In the absence of strict rules, style guides, and moderators, the contributions therein are essentially inaccurate, illegitimate, and defamatory. Nevertheless, as part

of our mandate to dismiss disinformation from various forms of publication, we reiterate the public’s positive feedback for the government based on two independent surveys that showed 80% of Filipinos are satisfied with the Chief Executive’s performance, and 85% approve of and trust his leadership. The results of the 2019 mid-term elections favoring Duterte-aligned candidates is a testament of President Duterte’s performance in driving out corruption in government and ending illegal drugs,

The Philippine National Police reports that crime rate in the Philippines declined by 21.48% from July 2016 to June 2018 compared to the same period from 2014 to 2016. Just in May, it declined by 10% year on year. I strongly urge everyone to continue being active and free, while being mindful of the corresponding responsibility. This is for the nation, for the people and for the Republic of the Philippines.

IDPs in Marawi mark 79th City Charter Day By DIVINA M. SUSON Correspondent

MARAWI City--Hundreds of internally displaced persons joined on Monday, August 19, a motorcade and program to celebrate the 79th charter anniversary of Marawi City, with changes and high hopes to rise again after the five-month war in 2017 that killed thousands of civilians, extremists including government forces. The displaced families who are still living in an evacuation tents and

some are living in transitory shelters joined with the employees of the local government unit (LGU) and other government agencies and humanitarian groups to celebrate the event that made the former Dansalan became Marawi City in 1940. This year’s charter day celebration is the first celebration since the siege in 2017 and the second after Marawi City Mayor Majul Gandamra was elected for his first term in 2016.

The siege was ongoing in August 2017 and the security was not yet stable in 2018 that the LGU was not able to celebrate for its 77th and 78th years, respectively. This year’s anniversary brings hope to Marawi residents according to Gandamra. The gathering, he said did not only to mark what can be considered as Marawi City’s birth but also to ponder and reflect what Marawi means to them. See MARK, page 11

My understanding with Cathay Pacific CEO’s Resignation RUPERT Hogg had been CEO for Cathay Pacific since May 2016 and has done a really good job. Was with Cathay Pacific’s parent company for over 30 years. As he described his resignation: “It has been my honour to lead the Cathay Pacific Group over the last three years. I am confident in the future of Hong Kong as the key aviation hub in Asia. However, these have been challenging weeks for the airline and it is right that Paul and I take responsibility as leaders of

the company.” The Chinese government has accused Cathay Pacific employees of participating in “illegal protests,” and requested that the airline start sharing all information about employees not only flying to China, but also passing through Chinese airspace. This led to Hogg’s resignation. According to my source China’s Civil Aviation Administration asked Hogg to hand over a list of Cathay Pacific employees who had participated in the protests.

My sources, he did provide that report… but he put only put his own name on the list. I understand that this is a very sensitive issue. I have respect for what the people of Hong Kong and those opposing to it. I was once in the same shoes, I have so much respect for what Hogg has done. I feel like for the most part there’s such little accountability among corporate executives, especially in the airline industry. Seeing someone stand up for what he believes in

JEROME DE LA FUENTE

and defend the workforce even at the expense of his own career is something you don’t often see in the corporate world. I’d say that any airline or company would be lucky to have him, though I guess we’ll see how that plays out, since I imagine many airlines wouldn’t want to do something that would so obviously annoy China.

Unruffled

Corruption in Malacanang

VALENCIA, Bukidon -The Crusade for Clean Government, a volunteer anti-corruption watchdog sees corruption happening right at the very seat of power – in Malacanang. Presidential AntiCorruption Commission (PACC) says two cabinet secretaries are now under investigation for corruption, and more --with around 200 government officials are listed for alleged involvement in corruption. With this sad note, corruption remains pervasive as ever despite the effort of President Duterte to curb this malpractice in his three

years of ascendancy. Because of insatiable greed, these workers in government had continuously betrayed -- one after the other -- their pledged of incorruptibility before President Duterte. Corruption in government is massive and packed with immense power and dominance, placing the Philippines in the list of most corrupt countries in Asia. This menace is a fight of man’s indefatigable greed, where power corrupts, and where the powerful is corrupted in high places and down to the last man in public service.

That said, there is one thing Malacanang needs to address in earnest -- and that is the drive against graft and corruption in all fronts of the bureaucracy. Netizens are therefore encouraged by Malacanang to help fight corruption and for complaints, the Presidential Complaint Center (PCC), a front line desk in the Office of the President serves as a liaison unit. It connects with various departments and agencies of the government and private institutions/companies on all requests for assistance, and information, as well as complaints and grievances

Ruffy Magbanua

of the general public. Indeed, the fight to clean the bureaucracy of graft and corruption remains one of Duterte’s headaches.

The CYNOSURE

Sinking a warship, not a declaration of war

THE unauthorized and illegal sailing of China’s battleships in the Philippine waters without being accosted only shows the demeaning and weak Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). The action of China violated the territory of the country. It was a direct assault on the country’s sovereign rights as a country and as people. China losses respect on the Filipinos because of the Philippine government’s willingness to become a “laughing stock” in Southeast Asia. True, the government is raising diplomatic protest. However, a diplomatic protest is irrelevant to a country where human dignity is a taboo. A country driven by greed, whose power is derived out of the barrel of the gun, is disrespectful of life. The Philippines must assert its sovereign rights at all costs. It has the right to sink an unknown vessel who refused to identify itself, much less, declare

its purpose in sailing the Philippine sea. When an unknown vessel (warship or not) sneaks unto the Philippine territory, without identifying itself, the AFP could use force to neutralize it. The AFP’s jet fighters must scramble and bomb the unknown vessel who refused to communicate and declare their intention. This is discussed in response to a query on how to deal with China’s battleships, which sneak throught the Philippine waters without communicating to the AFP. The reply is direct and certain: Sink them! If the Chinese battleship responds, then the battleground is drawn in the area where the incident is taking place. It does not mean that the Philippines would be officially at war with China. After all, it is Congress who could declare war against any country. The militar y action taken by the Philippines would, however, send a strong message to China that the Philippines could not

be bullied by any country professing to be militarily powerful. When a robber sneaks and enters a house, the occupants have the right to depend themselves by all means. One remembers Taiwan, a fraction of a nation who refused to be bullied by China. In 1949 and during China’s infamous “cultural revolution,” thousands fled from mainland China and settled in Formosa, now known as Taiwan. The settlers of Taiwan then were known as the “Koumintang.” The Koumintang Party State has their own “National Revolutionary Army” also known as the Republic of China Armed Forces when the Republic of China was promulgated in the 1947 constitution. The Republic of China Armed Forces fled the mainland China toward Taiwan after losing the civil war to the communist in 1949. One of the major opponents of the RCAF was the communist People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the army of

Cris Diaz

the modern day aggressor, China. At present, China claims Taiwan to be part of their country and wants to attach to the mainland China at all costs. The Taiwanese government refused and maintain its independence as a sovereign nation. In response to China’s threat that it would take Taiwan at all costs, the Taiwan government warned China that it would shoot down any fighter jets that will encroach Taiwan’s airspace. Que vadis, Philippines? Isn’t it a shame knowing Taiwan, a small country, but willing to fight and protect its people as a sovereign nation? Perhaps, the Philippines is the most friendly nation around the world that it is able to shallow its pride amid insult, mockery, and bullying by countries whose “means” of existence is through saber-rattling and harassment.

DavOcc town bans use of plastic straw By CHE PALICTE

DAVAO CITY--The municipality of Jose Abad Santos (JAS) in Davao Occidental province has prohibited the manufacture, importation, sale, and use of single-use plastic straw. In an interview on Monday, Mayor Jason John Joyce said he signed Executive Order 19-011 last August 15, ensuring the proper segregation, collection, transport, storage, treatment, and disposal of solid waste through the formulation and adoption of the best environment practice in ecological waste management, excluding incineration. “I have noticed a lot of

plastic straws in the rivers and seas. That’s why I initiated to ban the use of plastics here in JAS. In the next few months, we will endeavor to widen the scope, to include all single-use plastics,” Joyce said. He clarified that he would review all policies to ensure that they are not anti-poor. “For now, it is so hard to ban the use of shampoos, sachets for condiments and the like, since these are common products bought by our people. But for the straws, we can live without it,” he said. Joyce said that plastic wastes pose a serious danger to the environment, especially to Jose Abad

BARMM budgetary aid seen to spur economic activities By LESLIE GATPOLINTAN

MANILA -- The country’s chief economist expects the increased budgetary support to newly established Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) will likely result in more economic activities, which will benefit the people in the region. During the First Bangsamoro Global Economic Summit on Monday, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia said the national government will provide an annual block grant, which is the automatic share of the Bangsamoro government in the national internal revenue tax collections.

Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia PNA File Photo

He said the allocation is equivalent to 5 percent of the net national internal revenue tax collection, or around PHP70 billion for the fiscal year of 2019 alone. “A special development fund amounting to a total

PHP50 billion, or PHP5 billion per year for 10 years, is allocated for the rebuilding, rehabilitation, and development of conflict-affected communities. Subsidies for development and infrastructure-related expenditure are

guaranteed by the national government for the next five years,” he added. Pernia, also DirectorGeneral of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), noted that the increased budgetary support to the BARMM is in addition to the power and authority granted over certain sectors and activities to create its own sources of revenue and advance the region’s economic development. To address the challenges that the BARMM is facing and other pressing socio-economic needs of the region, Pernia said the BARMM government has crafted its 12-point priority See AID, page 11

BSP to offer P100 billion under term deposit facility By JOANN VILLANUEVA

MANILA -- The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) will offer PHP100 billion under its term deposit facility (TDF) during the auction on August 22, 2019. In an advisory, the central bank said the six-day facility, a day shorter than the regular tenor because of the holiday on Wednesday, will be offered for PHP40 billion. Both the 13-day and 27-day facilities, also a day shorter than regular tenor, will be offered for PHP30 billion. During the TDF auction last August 14, rate of all tenors declined which the BSP, in a statement, traced to the reduction in the central bank’s policy rates last August 8.

Toyota PH targets sales of 165K vehicles this year By LESLIE GATPOLINTAN

MANILA -- Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) expects to double sales volume of its Hiace Grandia model, as it introduced to the Philippine market on Monday its new variants to hit vehicle sales of 165,000 units this year. TMP president Satoru Suzuki told reporters they expect the launch of the All New Super Grandia to boost the Hiace, which had a 54.6-percent total market share in the utility van segment as of July. Suzuki said the firm targets to sell 400 units of the new models starting next month, and hopefully maintain such sales level by 2020.

“That’s more than double because of the new model,” he said, noting family and companies in various industries prefer these van variants. Suzuki said it is banking on other models also boosting the company’s sales goal this year. On Monday, TMP completed the Hiace lineup this August with the launch of the All New Super Grandia in three new variants-- Elite, Leather, and Fabric. For one, Elite is the first variant in TMP’s official vehicle lineup which incorporates active safety features identifying factors that may cause accidents, and aid the driver in eliminating these factors.

mindanaodaily.ads@gmail.com

PASAY CITY, Philippines – August 20, 2019 Ayala believes that building sustainability into business strategies, goals and practices would enable companies to grow responsibly while safeguarding their relevance to stakeholders. Ayala Chairman & CEO Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala recently was one of the panel speakers at the United Nations Global Compact Network Philippines’ (UN GCNP) Sustainability Summit 2019, where Ayala was a platinum co-sponsor. At the panel, he placed a special emphasis on integrating sustainability in business strategies because at Ayala, sustainability is key to bridging persistent societal gaps that have excluded many Filipinos. In April 2019, it furthered this integration by launching the Ayala Sustainability Blueprint, a framework that allows each business unit to champion specific United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) and make significant impact in sectors that would benefit the most. Ultimately, it aims to bridge the Filipino to 2030, where Ayala sees him rooted in a safe, secure, sustainable, inclusive, and progressive country. Ayala, a founding

member of the GCNP in 2017, first formally aligned its businesses with the UNSDGs in 2016. “We designed a longterm Sustainability Blueprint that lays out actionable and measurable targets that address critical environmental, social, and governance gaps that the country faces today. It is specifically

designed to support the achievement of the UNSDGs by 2030 that will enable us to be more deliberate in monitoring and evaluating our sustainability targets and allocate resources to these initiatives more appropriately,” said Zobel, who in 2017 was named a UNSDG Pioneer for Sustainable Business Strategy

Globe Telecom, Inc. (Globe) was formally welcomed to the UN GC Network Philippines becoming the first business unit within the Ayala group to become part of the largest sustainability movement for business in the world.

DAVAO del Norte--The provincial government of Davao del Norte will operate its own quarry sites to adequately provide the sand and gravel (SAG) requirement of its massive infrastructure development program. Governor Edwin Jubahib surveyed potential quarry areas in Kapalong, Talaingod, Sto. Tomas and Carmen to verify their viability. He was accompanied by Mayor Ma. Theresa Timbol and husband Vice Mayor Edgardo of Kapalong, Mayor Arnel Sitoy of San Isidro, as well as Mayor Jonnie Libayao of Talaingod and his deputy Vice Mayor Francisco Gipulla Jr. “Dapat mayroong sariling quarry ang province at hindi na tayo aasa sa mahal

na grava ng mga private operators para sa ating mga proyekto (We should have our own exclusive quarry resources so that we will no longer be at the mercy of private operators for our projects),” the governor earlier said. Jubahib revealed his intention to implement expansion of road network, flood control projects and scores of other important infra projects to benefit the disadvantaged sectors, particularly in far-flung areas of the province. He has bonded together all the mayors of all local government units in the province to be actively involved in the cooperative manner of implementing vital projects, known as the “Lusong” initiative.

DAVAO CITY--The City Health Office (CHO) and the Department of Health (DOH) deployed 166 health professionals to several barangays in the city to further boost the delivery of health services. Monday’s deployment is composed of doctors, dentists and nurses under the national government’s Human Resource for Health (HRH) program with the aim of addressing the lack of doctors, dentists, nurses in poor villages, CHO chief, Dr. Josephine Villafuerte

said.

necessary health services. Vice Mayor Sebastian Duterte thanked the DOH for assisting the city in filling the need for medical professionals. “Health is one of my priorities and with this deployment, everyone in the community - even in the far-flung barangays - have easy access to (services) and medicines,” said VM Baste, who has been acting mayor since Mayor Inday Sara Duterte took a leave in July.

The governor instructed the Provincial Environment and National Resources Office (PENRO) to fast track the processing of needed documents for the exclusive industrial SAG quarries of the province. He also warned the quarry operators to immediately remove SAG stock piles left in the middle of the rivers, so as not to impede the free flow of rives and aggravate flooding during extended period of heavy rainfalls.

concern of the government, adding that addressing the medical needs of the people and promoting good health will make communities progressive. In an interview, Councilor Joselle Villafuerte, chairperson of the City Council committee on health, said the program is in line with the mandate of President Rodrigo Duterte to assign health professionals in all barangay to address the medical needs of the people. Villafuerte said the 182 barangays in the city are now equipped with health care professionals. (PNA) from page 8 of livelihood of the Geverolas to support their big famfrom page 8 ily.

livestock raising such as pig, chicken, goat and cow. Joel also accepted a job as laborer on days when they are not weaving nito. But despite all of these hard works, the difficulties brought by the constant demands of life are still too tough, especially in supporting the education of their children. Some opportunities In 2012, the household was registered in Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). “Our family is very grateful of the cash grants we receive from the 4Ps program. Because of this, we are able to provide the needs of our children in school and are able to pay the school fees on time,” Analiza shared. A n a l i z a , b e i ng t h e grantee, diligently attends orientations, meetings and all developmental activities conducted under the program. In every Family Development Session (FDS), she learns new things that she applies in her daily living. But one day, fate put their family to test. On their way to acquire nito for a prospect buyer, the couple and four children got attacked by a swarm of bees in the forest which led to their confinement in a hospital. “In order to pay for our huge hospital bills, we decided

to sell all our farm animals and consequently, our nito weaving also halted,” Joel recounted. But this trial did no discourage them. Joel and Analiza’s family rose again. Full of hope and optimism, the family resumed their basket production using nito. The couple also exposed themselves to several skills enhancement programs, trusting that such could help improve their lives. “I attended a skills training in ketchup making. I was also given the opportunity to participate in a microenterprise development and basic employment skills training. Finally, I became a member of the Sustainable Livelihood Program Association (SLPA) in 2016. I used the money from the seed capital fund amounting to Php 10,000.00 as capital for our nito weaving venture,” Analiza recounted. Last 2018, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) conducted a four-day Training on Nito Weaving in Barangay Nueva Villa, with Joel and Analiza as resource persons. Earlier, DTI attested that the nito products crafted by the couple are of good quality. Jose F. Villanueva Elementary School also plans to tap the couple to train its pupils in nito weaving.

Hard work pays With the family’s efforts and with the aid of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, all seven of the Geverola children are attending school. Presently, the eldest daughter, Angelyn is set to finish Bachelor of Science in Accountancy at John Paul College, Davao City. Angelyn is also a working student. She finished high school through Department of Education’s Alternative Learning System (ALS). Despite the hardships in life, she never stopped schooling. “Poverty is not a hindrance to pursue your dreams,” Analiza said. The fami ly’s s e cret to success is hard work. Through hardwork and their enhanced craft, family members were not only able to enjoy quality life, they were also able to share their craft to other people in the community. Through their endeavour, the practice of treasured weaving tradition could be passed on to generations to come, prospering the art of the B’laan Indigenous community in the process. The Geverola family continues to aspire greater dreams, such as building its own space for production of nito-woven materials and at the same time, use the space to display their products. “All of these dreams are possible, through resourcefulness and diligence. Our family has proven through our experiences that we can achieve success if we work harder together,” the couple declared. (DSWD)

change in farm production. “The money can be used by the farmers to rehabilitate their farms from the devastations caused by typhoons and severe flooding,” he said. The local chief executive urged the farmers to avail of services of the Department of Agriculture (DA), especially on technical matters, to improve their yield. MAGRO head Elmer Degorio said the farmers are entitled to receive benefits from the PCIC program as compensation for their damaged crops. Degorio said the amount each farmer received depends on the size of the planting area damaged by the typhoon. “Each insurance covers a maximum of three hectares

and we urged the farmers to pass a farm plan and budget,” Degorio said. Sto. Tomas town was severely damaged by a typhoon in January, followed by episodes of severe flooding that destroyed rice and corn plantations in various barangays. (PNA)

Republic Act No. 11036 or the Mental Health Act. In behalf of Governor Philip Tan, Provincial Administrator, Dr. Edemar Alota delivered the message of Governor saying “I hope that today inspires ideas and discussions along the ways that we can make the health policies, plans, programs and activities.” “One of the priorities of the province of Misamis Occidental is health services,” he shared. He added, “Knowledge above health care starts within ourselves and second from you teachers as you impart health education to your students.” In his message, City Mayor Lemuel Acosta shared that we can create or mold our people to become better Filipinos, better Misamisnons and better Oroquitanons. He also encouraged everyone, not only DEPED, local government units to stand by DepEd’s program. Meanwhile, Regional Director of DepEd Region 10, Dr. Arturo Bayocot said this OK sa DepEd Program is a converging effort where health plans, policies, programs, and activities are implemented to ensure that all schoolchildren are provided with basic primary health and dental care to allow them to attain their full educational potential. “It will also ensure that all DepEd school health personnel and schoolchildren practice healthier behavior that they can do on their own, and get linked up with health providers and local government units [LGUs] for child and adolescent health services,” he added. Bayocot further underscored the significant role of DepEd health personnel in bringing to the ground the various school health programs of the department. “We want our learners to grow and be educated up to their full potential, and this can be achieved through the active contribution of all of you [DepEd health workers] in keeping our learners healthy, as well as our teaching and other nonteaching personnel, thus increasing the level of school participation, attendance, and access to education of Filipino learners,” he stated. This year’s OK sa DepEd opens with a motorcade along the city and 14 division feature exhibits on the six flagship health programs, recognition of partners, pledge of commitment and talk show. The Division of Oroquieta City was the host for the regional kickoff of the Oplan Kalusugan (OK) sa DepEd Program 2019. (Shaine Mae R. Nagtalon/PIA10)

agenda for the transition period of 2020-2022. “These can be considered as development opportunities for investments in this critical juncture of the Bangsamoro transition process. Areas for possible longer-term partnerships and cooperation with the private sector may be identified after various development plans are integrated and harmonized,” he added. The NEDA chief cited the recovery of areas affected by the conflict in Marawi on top of the BARMM’s agenda. Pernia said the Bangon Marawi Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Recovery Program laid out the government’s strategic interventions for the rehabilitation of Marawi City and municipalities directly affected by the conflict. It includes programs, projects, and activities to be implemented from 2018 to 2022, with total investment requirement amounting to PHP60.51 billion, he noted. He added that while most programs will be financed through national government funds, nongovernment sources have also been identified. Pernia considered the establishment of BARMM as one of the initiatives the government has to take to address the current social, political, economic, and cultural challenges faced by the Bangsamoro people both within the current Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) areas and other nearby localities. “All our eyes are now on the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. The region has so much potential to be unlocked and we are excited to see all our combined efforts come to fruition,” he added. (PNA)

the contractor, Consortium of Guangdong Foreign Construction, failed to comply with eligibility requirements during the opening of bids. On the other hand, another contractor, Power Construction Corp. of China Ltd. had a financial bid that

was “surprisingly higher” by 6.91 percent than the approved budget for the contract. In December 2018, the bid was finally awarded to China Energy Engineering Corp. (CEEC) Ltd. However, the COA questioned why the CEEC had started its preliminary project activities. Asked if the Palace was open to suspending the contract, Panelo said he would leave it to President Rodrigo Duterte to decide on the matter. The China-funded Kaliwa Dam project in Quezon province is expected to provide an additional 600 million liters a day (MLD) of water to Metro Manila and environs. The multi-billion water project was first approved by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) on May 29, 2014, and on June 27, 2017 on the change of project financing scheme from Public, Private Partnership (PPP) to Overseas Development Assistance (ODA).

“For many of us, it might just be a place to work, study, do business in, or just live. For others, it is a land of opportunity. Still for others, it is where their Meranaw identity originates and resounds,” Gandamra said in his message. “And for others, especially after the siege, it is where dreams, aspirations and hope still exist in the midst of the rubble inspite of all that has happened,” he added in an emotional voice. Gandamra said, while waiting for the rehabilitation and rebuilding of the ruined city to finish, he is clinging on to his constituents who will cooperate with the efforts of the government for them to rise from rubbles. “The hope is the driving force of all that has been done and is still being done for Marawi. You have seen much of the changes, some of them painful, some drastic but necessary During his message, Gandamra also reported the changes in Marawi while waiting for the rehabilitation and rebuilding to be constructed like traffic management scheme, the intensified giving of social and medical services to those in need, the implementation of Iskolar ng Marawi, livelihood grants and projects for the farm-

ers, fisherfolks and a more transparent governance. “You have seen much of the changes, some of them painful, some drastic but necessary,” Gandamra said. The Marawi City charter day anniversary will be celebrated for four days until August 22. During the four-day celebration, there will be exhibits, featuring the faces of women who have served as humanitarian workers during the Marawi siege as August 19 coincides the World Humanitarian Day. Sapia Taulani of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) the exhibit honors the remarkable work of women in alleviating the sufferings of IDPs in Marawi. “We focus on the unsung heroes who have long been working on the frontlines of their own communities... we focus on their strength, power and perseverance of women,” Taulani said. With this, Gandamra also thanked those who have helped “bring Marawi back to its feet again months after the last bullet, the last strike of the siege had been fired.” In a press briefing in August 14, Housing Secretary Eduardo Del Rosario, Chairman of the Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) that oversees the rehabilitation in Marawi, announced that residents of sector 1, 2 and 3 were given the go signal to start rebuilding their houses since the end of July this year. These areas includes Barangays Tolali, Daguduban and Moncado Kadingilan. Del Rosario, however, said these residents can only start rebuilding their structures if they can complete the requirements like building permit from the Office of the Building Official (OBO) of the government, electric connection clearance from Lanao del Sur Electric Cooperative (LASURECO) and water connection permit from Marawi Water District (MWD).

Claveria town village chairman’s son lands 2nd place in Vet Med Board exam PATROCINIO, Claveria town - The government and the people of Barangay Patrocinio, this municipality, has proudly celebrated the success of one of its young professionals. In Claveria town’s official Facebook page, the people of Claveria posted messages congratulating the success of one of the healthcare professionals and future leaders of their place. This, as Paul Valcorza,Jr, son of Brgy Patrocinio Chairman Paul Valcorza, Sr topped the recently concluded Veterinary Medicine Licensure Examination. Paul Jr just graduated and finished his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine course at Central Mindanao University in Maramag, Bukidnon, and he took the board examnation in August this year. Luckily, the Board of Examiners has already posted the results and Paul, Jr. bested over a thousand examinees and landed as second placer. CHALLENGES BEFORE SUCCESS Paul Jr’s father was only a Barangay Chairman of Patrocinio, a small barangay in Claveria town, Misamis Oriental. The challenge of supporting the dream of his son was tremendous. But as a father who is always there

to support his son, Paul’s father did everything he could to support his son’s education at a very prestigious university in Bukidnon Province the Central Mindanao Unversity. Paul’s family knew very well how hard it is to sustain his education. More so, that his school is very far from their hometown in Patrocinio. The finances to be incurred for tuition fees, board and lodging and all other miscellaneous were really a difficult challenge to handle every month. But Paul Jr’s parents work hard in order to sustain and augment the monthly finances their son can incur while schooling at CMU in Bukidnon Province. FULL OF MOTIVATION But Paul Jr was full of motivation to succeed and to follow his dream of becoming a healthcare professional. He always made sure that the hard efforts of his parents to sustain his education will be reciprocated with finishing his degree with flying colors, so he studied very hard and stay away from all temptations of being a student, such as just enjoying with friends and joining circle of people

which might only ruin his education. As Paul, Jr was a picture of good and outstanding student, he always follow the worthwhile advice of his parents to concentrate on his chosen profession so that all the money and support coming from his parents would pay off. He studied hard believing that finishing his degree would really make his future brighter, aside from the constant reminders of his hardworking parents, even if he was away from home.

REAPING THE FRUITS OF SUCCESS Luckily, the family’s hard efforts in sustaining his education as well as Paul Jr’s patients, perseverance and determination to succeed paid off when he finally graduated his degree in Veterinary Medicine. Paul Jr took the board and landed second place among the more than 1000 examinees who tool the board exams held in selected cities in the country.
