Quarantine checkpoints eyed vs. entry of ‘bird flu’ in Nortcot KIDAPAWAN City--A member of the provincial board in North Cotabato has pushed for the setting up of animal quarantine checkpoints in at least seven entry points of the province to prevent the spread of avian influenza virus or bird flu. Cotabato 3rd district board member Socrates Pinol said the quarantine stations will ensure the growing poultry industry in the province won’t be affected by the virus, which first hit Pampanga months ago. Checkpoints would be set up along Tulunan, Cotabato to Datu Paglas, Maguindanao road; Makilala, Cotabato and Barangay Kinuskusan, Bansalan in Davao del Sur; boundary of Carmen, Cotabato and Maramag, Bukidnon; Banisilan, Cotabato and Wao, Lanao del Sur; Pigcawayan, Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao road; and Riverside Midsayap, Cotabato and Datu Piang, Maguindanao road. “Although geographically, Cotabato is too far from Pampanga but nobody could tell if the poultry products that have entered in our area are free from the virus,” said Pinol. North Cotabato belongs to Region 12. The region also covers the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, and Sarangani and the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Tacurong, Kidapawan and Cotabato. Data from the Department of Agriculture 12 said the region supplies at least three percent of the country’s poultry requirements. But Pinol said the industry is being threatened by the bird flu outbreak. (Malu Cadelina Manar/ MindaNews)

Adolph Edward Plaza who turns 55 last Monday, August 21, his birthday was not only a celebration of life, but celebration of peace in this interior village where residents were once living in fear. In his message before hundreds of residents in the village hall, Plaza said that he cannot forget the atrocities happened in the barangay (like robbery and hostage taking) in the past, but he is also thankful to the support and cooperation of the community to resolve these incidents. “I cannot forget to thank the Lumads and the people of La Purisima for cooperating with us (the government ) in sustaining peace in the area”, the governor said. “I also ask you to send message to
your siblings to stop sowing conflict, and if you can sustain peace and order here, I will try to look for a means to extend the road concreting even if it reaches Gacub”, he added. The lumad leaders in this village serenaded the birthday celebrator and expressed their gratitude for his big role in attaining peace and order in their community. La Purisima made international headlines in 2011 when armed lumad militiamen led by the Perez siblings abducted 14 public school teachers and two students to demand for the release from the Provincial Jail their brother Ondo Perez and three other inmates.
