W i t h i n t h i s y e a r, Kumazawa said Jica will start disaster management and flood control project that includes Davao River. He said there are many projects for implementation but “we try to take a more comprehensive approach”. He mentioned the ongoing project Davao City Bypass Road, a 22-kilometer road funded by Jica at a cost of USD100 million. Jica Project Team member who handles socioeconomic framework Lynn Sison said, “What we are doing is integrating all infrastructure projects because there are so many agencies doing their own projects and really not coordinating with each other.” In Davao City, she said Jica is integrating seven projects from Neda and 21 from the Davao City government.

“By integrating these projects we see gaps and we are proposing what should be there so it becomes a complete fabric for the city,” she said. She added that through analysis Jica sees the gaps in the projects such as a water supply project where there are areas that are under served. “Information has already been provided of the different projects and we are evaluating them as to the standing in terms of preparedness whether it has FS (Feasibility Study) or concept level on that manner,” she said. “We also look at the advantages and disadvantages of the projects,” she said. The 21 projects in Davao City are being programmed with different timeline as to preparedness. Some projects have already its FS, but Jica still needs to evaluate the integrity of these FS. Sison said JICA is not only looking at one infrastructure sector but other

The top three donor employees were Emma Resurrection, Dr. Georgie Arvin Legazpi, both of PHO and Rolino Palma of Provincial General Services Office. They will also receive 1 sack of rice each.

Business Confidence Moderates for Q3 Being human in the age of artificial 2017, Turns Upbeat for the Next Quarter intelligence

Business outlook on the economy turned less optimistic for Q3 2017, with the overall confidence index (Cl) declining to 37.9 percent from 43 percent for Q2 2017. This means that the number of optimists declined but continued to be greater than the number of pessimists during the quarter. The confidence index is computed as the percentage of firms that answered in the affirmative less the percentage of firms that answered in the negative with respect to their views on a given indicator. Respondents cited the following factors behind their less buoyant outlook during the third quarter: (a) seasonal factors such as slowdown of business activities during the rainy season, slack in demand during the planting and closed milling season, as well as the closed fishing season in Davao Gulf from July to September, (b) Marawi crisis and declaration of martial law in Mindanao, which affected people’s mobility to and in Mindanao, (c) weakening peso, d) increasing prices, e) stiffer competition, and (f) damages and power outages caused by the July 6, 2017 earthquake in the Visayas. The sentiment of businesses in the Philippines

mirrored the less buoyant business outlook in the US, Canada, The Netherlands, New Zealand, and Thailand but was in contrast to the more bullish views of those in Germany and Hong Kong and steady outlook in France. For the quarter ahead (Q4 2017), business outlook turned more positive as the next quarter Cl rose to 51.3 percent from 42.7 percent in the previous quarter’s survey results. Respondents’ more positive outlook for Q4 2017 was due to expectations of: (a) uptick in consumer demand during the holiday, harvest and milling seasons, (b) continued rollout of government infrastructure and other development projects, (c) continued increase in orders and projects translating to higher volume of production, (d) expansion of businesses and new product lines, (e) introduction of new and enhanced business strategies and processes, (f) expected favorable weather condition for agricultural products, and (g) positive impact of the proposed tax reform program. The outlook of importers and domestic-oriented firms follow the national trend The sentiment of businesses involved in international commodity trading

was broadly less favorable for Q3 2017 as importers and domestic-oriented firms expected lower consumer demand during the rainy season. Meanwhile, exporter firms’ outlook was more optimistic for the current quarter. For the quarter ahead (0.4 2017), the outlook of importers and domestic-oriented firms turned more robust compared to that of the previous quarter. Meanwhile, outlook of exporters was steady and that of dual-activity firms was less favorable. The industry sector is more confident while the construction, trade and services sectors are less positive Business sentiment across sectors was less upbeat for Q3 2017 except for the industry sector particularly in the manufacturing sub-sector, whose views were more favorable for the current quarter. Firms’ sentiment across sectors was more buoyant for Q4 2017. Respondent firms in the manufacturing sub-sector cited improved market strategies and new product lines as reasons for their optimism, countervailing the less optimistic outlook of firms in the mining and quarrying, agriculture, fishery and forestry, and electricity, gas and water supply See business, page A7

IN 2014, the founder of Skype created a mission to help safeguard life and develop optimistic visions of the future, focusing largely on AI. Of particular concern is the potential for AI to leapfrog humans and achieve so-called superintelligence. What would happen if we did manage to create superintelligent AI? Do we even know how to build human-level

AI? And with no sign of computers outsmarting us yet, why talk about it now? For education, we must harness AI. Chess champion Garry Kasparov once told a TED Talk session, “human plus machine isn’t the future, it’s the present.” And this present is transforming the world of education at a rapid pace. With children increasingly using tablets and coding becoming part of national curricular around the world, technology is

becoming an integral part of classrooms just like chalk and blackboards. We have already witnessed the rise and impact of education technology especially through a multitude of adaptive learning platforms that allow learners to strengthen their skills and knowledge. And now VR and AI are gaining traction. A recent report deciphers how artificial intelligence will positively transform education in the coming years.

Satan attacks us constantly The Gospel of Jesus Christ Mark 10:1-12And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife? Tempting him. And he answered and said unto them, what did Moses command you? And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put [her] away.This is the mentality of some Pharisees that divorce was ac-

ceptable to their times and you know what, this is the mentality of many people especially in foreign countries that “divorce is a law already.”Remember, “Matrimony” is one of the 7 sacraments. This means that “marriage life is a very sacred commitment” of both husband and wife. In fact, Jesus proved it in our gospel for today. And Jesus answered and said unto them, for

the “hardness of your heart” he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and leave to his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Take

note, civil marriage is not a divine union but only a human union. You need to receive the sacrament of matrimony for you to be united with God. Driving a vehicle without a license is illegal. This is my point; living together but no divine union is not pleasant in the eyes of God. Marriage reminds us about unity. God wants us to be united always with him in his plans and

Biblical reflection divine purposes in life. He wants us to be united with the people who are doing well in our society. You need to be united with the good programs of our government and our church. You need to be united with your families and relatives all the times whatever the circumstances is. Take note: united we stand; divided we fall. Satan attacks us constantly to

21ST century learners who are they? The term “21st-century skills” is generally used to refer to certain core competencies such as collaboration, digital literacy, critical

thinking, and problemsolving that advocates believe schools need to teach to help students thrive in today’s world. In a broader sense, however, the idea of what learning in the 21st

century should look like is open to interpretation— and controversy. Thus, they are the learners of today’s generation, digitalized and equipped with different values and attitudes and belongs to the world of inflexible to understand due to the fast change of our society. Teaching is the noblest and most subtle profession; teachers are not just teaching academically but most of all forming the character and preparedness of the learner to the real world.

“The bottomline really is that we want the kids to go into public service that is why in our school we offer courses in public administration, governance, peace building, economics, law because at the end of this program the profile of a successful child must have a heart for God, for this country and the passion to serve thus we have very different approach,” he added. In relation to the reading program, Baes said the school proceeds are deposited in the Hope Bank of the school that is run by children. The bank has a set of officers, board of directors and advisors selected from among the children as part of their training. He said the initial money of P700 from the reading program has grown to P24,000 through their income generating projects. In 11 months of operating the said bank, the kids are planning to put up a convenient store soon with the help of the Church in Canada which pledged to provide the capital. The children found a space which they will rent using their available money. Every Saturday night, Baes said the children hold a night market where they sell used clothing, food, and school supplies. “They are starting to develop jewelry-making and trinkets also that they

might sell here and even in Canada,” he said. Baes said the organization also works with the parents for sustainable income through urban container gardening. Already, owners of Nanay Bebeng and Chippens wanted the organization to supply them daily with 80 kilos pechay. The container gardening, he said is being supported by the Hope Tours where they rent out van and the proceeds go to the gardening project. “We are expanding our production area where we grow the vegetables in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes,” he said. The organization already added lettuce in their garden. He said they will be partnering with adjacent property owners whose area they could spare for their vegetable growing. The Agdao area is the organization’s laboratory for technology transfer to children and parents and the bigger area is in Inangan in Calinan where they partner with the Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Industry and the Philippine Coconut Authority, he said. Baes said the organization piloted the program on transformation in San Vicente, Agdao district with 1,500 families participating although they cater to eight other areas of informal settlers in the city. “We want to develop a template in San Vicente where we can replicate it to other areas,” he said, adding that the organization’s vision is to see San Vicente as a transformed community that has a school, a house of faith and equipped with skills training programs for parents and children.

attributed to waste water from households including the illegal disposal of used cooking oil. In December 2015, former mayor now President Rodrigo Duterte issued an executive order prohibiting the dumping of used cooking oil into the environment and tasked Cenro to collect used cooking oil from establishments and households. Meanwhile, under the agreement, Jica will provide the equipment that will be used for the recycling process while the city government provides the site which is temporarily located at CENRO’s composting facility in Maa. According to Shegito Mizumoto, the trainor of Japan Biomass, the Davao city government is sole LGU recipient of the biodiesel project. JICA chose Davao as a pilot area for this project because of its efficient enforcement of local legislation. Mizumoto said Biomass Japan will provide the training and the technology which costs about P10 million. But the technology is given to the city for free.

Monday, August 28, 2017 Biomass Japan will install the facility and train the operational and maintenance staff of CENRO. The machine can produce 3,000 liters of biodiesel per day. The 1,000 liters used cooking oil is equivalent to 900 liters biodiesel fuel. The project came following the visit of city officials to Japan in September last year for a five-day orientation and observation of Japan’s biodiesel project. In that visit, residents voluntarily brought their used cooking oil to a village hall where a container is provided for used cooking oil collection. The fuel generated from the technology is used by some companies in Japan. Earlier, Director and Consul Tomoko Dodo of the Consular Office of Japan in the city said the success of the Bio Diesel Fuel production between Japan and Davao will make the latter a model city in the global arena since this is the first time that Japan will be bringing out this technology outside the country. “We have done it in Japan and we are confident that this can also be done in Davao City. And if it is good then we want to expand to the other areas,” Dodo earlier said. (PNA)

administration’s campaign to rehabilitate and reconstruct Marawi. Duterte commended Aviana Development Corporation, Ayala Land, Inc., and the Alcantara Group of Companies for the initiative. “This joint venture shows what we can achieve when we foster strong ties with our partners in the private sector,” he said. Duterte said Azuela Cove is expected to boost commercial activity in the city as it will bring more jobs for the people of Davao City and neighboring areas. The President is optimistic the construction and operations alone would open more opportunities for Davaoenos with an estimated 6,500 workers to be employed. He said the surrounding areas are also expected to benefit from the increase in land value and the opportunities that will follow. “This property development will further define the city as a thriving hub in Mindanao,” he said. Duterte said Azuela Cove will make the community more sustainable as it will have condominiums, events tent and other amenities. He added he is also happy of the decision of St. Luke’s to establish inside the estate. “This state-of-the-art facility will help us address the medical needs of our people, contributing to the realization of our vision to have a more comprehensive and universal healthcare in the region,” he said. The President stressed the launch of Azuela Cove is made possible due to the

boldness and vision of the real estate industry. “This sector has been by our side in spurring growth in other sectors including commerce, employment and housing,” he pointed out. He wished that the collaboration of Alcantara and Ayala would open more opportunities and bring about prosperity and progress in Mindanao for the future generations. (Lilian C. Mellejor/PNA)

sub-sectors. Meanwhile, construction firms’ outlook for the current quarter was less favorable due largely to the slowdown of construction activities during the rainy season. For the next quarter (Q4 2017), the outlook across sectors and sub-sectors were generally more buoyant due to expected high consumer demand during the Christmas season, inflow of OFW remittances, acceleration of infrastructure development projects and more investments. However, the sentiment of the mining and quarrying, and agriculture, fishery and forestry subsectors declined slightly for the next quarter due to lower metal prices and closed fishing season from July to September. Firms outlook about their business operations is mixed The outlook of firms about their own business operations remained positive albeit slightly lower for Q3 2017 compared to that a quarter ago. Industry and trade firms expected the volume of their business activities and total orders to grow at a slower rate for Q3 2017 relative to the previous quarter’s survey results. In contrast, respondents in the construction and services sectors expected higher growth in their business operations for the same period. For the next quarter (Q4 2017), firms across all sectors, except industry, expected the volume of their business activities to step up. Employment outlook improves The employment outlook index for the next quarter improved due largely to the more positive sentiment of the services and wholesale and retail sectors offsetting the less optimistic outlook of the industry and construction sectors. This suggests that more firms will continue to hire new employees than those that indicated otherwise. Expansion plans decreases while capacity utilization increases The percentage of businesses with expansion plans in the industry sector for Q3 2017 decreased slightly to 32.8 percent (from 34.6 in the previous quarter). Meanwhile, the average capacity utilization for Q3 2017 was slightly higher at 76.7 percent (from 75.8 percent in Q2 2017), indi-

cating sustained volume of business activity for the current quarter. Firms expect tighter financial conditions but easy access to credit The financial conditions index improved but stayed in the negative territory at -1 percent for Q3 2017 compared to -2 in the previous quarter. This means that firms that expected tighter financial conditions outnumbered those that said otherwise during the quarter but those that said so declined compared to a quarter ago. Moreover, firms were of the view that their financing requirements could be met through available credit as respondents reported easy access to credit. Inflation is expected to remain within-target T h e s u r ve y re s u lt s showed that businesses anticipated inflation to increase but to remain within target, peso to depreciate, and interest rates to go up for the current and next quarters. Inflationary expectations have slightly eased as the number that said so decreased from a quarter ago. Businesses anticipated the rate of increase in commodity prices to stay within the government’s 2 to 4 percent inflation target range for 2017 and 2018, at 3.1 percent for Q3 2017 and 3.2 percent for Q4 2017 (from 2.9 percent and 3 percent in the previous quarter’s survey results, respectively). More respondents also anticipated the peso to depreciate for Q3 2017 and Q4 2017. Meanwhile, the percentage of respondents that expected higher interest rates decreased compared to those in the previous quarter’s survey. About the Survey The Q3 2017 BES was conducted during the period 3 July - 18 August 2017. There were 1,480 firms surveyed nationwide. Respondents were drawn from the combined list of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Top 7,000 Corporations in 2010 and Business World’s Top 1,000 Corporations in 2015, consisting of 586 companies in NCR and 894 firms in AONCR, covering all 16 regions nationwide. The survey response rate for this quarter was lower at 83.6

percent (from 83.4 percent in the previous quarter). The response rate was lower for NCR at 80 percent (from 81.5 percent in the previous quarter) but higher for AONCR at 86 percent (compared to 84.7 percent in the previous quarter).

beyond the box-. I really love this passion- this allows me to make life beautiful and even make more beautiful,” she said. So by August 2017, Amabel decided to hold a makeup workshop. And indeed it was realized last Sunday at Sanctuary Spa. On that day, Amabel coached several women individually on how to manipulate correctly liquid foundation, primer, eyeliner, connector cream, moisturizer, cleanser, lipstick and concealer. Amabel’s next plan is to teach more women not just in Cagayan de Oro but back to her hometown of Manolo Fortich the correct way of putting makeup. She can be reached through her Facebook page as well as her IG aamabeautiful and even through her cellphone number 09752660175. Amabel caters weddings, debuts and other occasional makeup.

thing that every woman must take care of giving emphasis to our beauty is what this business is all about.

“The beauty in us should shine out; should be noticed; should be admired,” said makeup artist Amabel Dano.

Dano started young at 17 in her hometown of Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. She first dabbled in YouTube to master her makeup craft. When she reached 19, she ventured to Cagayan de Oro and began spreading her craft here. That was in 2013. A year after in September exactly, Amabel won as grand champion in the Ever Bilena Bridal Makeup Competition held at Centrio. Then the rest is history. Amabel was hired as an instructor for fashion makeup at the Fashion Institute of the Philippines (FIP).

“Make up may deceive people but with HAIR AND MAKE UP BY AMABEL DANO, it accentuates your inner beauty- letting it spark and jive with your personality. I am driven to give transformations among my clients- to allow them wear the beauty they deserve (through make up) because this makes me the person I am today. I love make ups.
