UP Mindanao presents expansion plan to contribute to Mindanao development

HILIPPINE Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri, Davao City congressman Isidro Ungab, and Department of Science and Technology secretary Fortunato de la Peña, representing President Rodrigo Duterte, led the legislative and executive branches of government in pledging their support to the University of the Philippines (UP) Mindanao’s expansion plan encapsulated in eight resolutions presented at the 44th UP Regional Alumni Institute (RAI) held on 22-23 November 2019 at the Grand Regal Hotel, Davao City. The theme of the twoday event was “Attaining inclusive and sustainable

development in Mindanao through investment in UP Mindanao’s programs.” Davao City mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio sent her warm welcome to the delegates through her representative Davao City planning officer Ivan Cortez. In his message, UP Alumni Association president and alumni regent Reynaldo Laserna recalled the alumni’s efforts towards the establishment of UP Mindanao. In turn, UP president Danilo Concepcion offered his vision for UP Mindanao: “Ano po ba ang balak natin sa Mindanao? Nahulí man ang Mindanao sa pagkakalikha nito-pang anim ata siya na campus na ating naitatag outside Diliman-

ay sisiguruhin natin na ang UP Mindanao ay hahabol sa development at baka nga malampasan pa ng UP Mindanao ang ilang pang mga CU [constituent universities] na naunang itinatag sa kanya.” (What do we want for Mindanao? While UP Mindanao might have been created later-the sixth campus established outside Diliman-we will ensure that UP Mindanao will keep abreast with developments and perhaps exceed the other CUs that have been created earlier.) UP Mindanao chancellor Larry Digal then presented the UP Mindanao’s strategic plan, which focuses on three strategic themes: Molding Learners into Leaders,

Transforming Insights into Impacts, and Building a Campus into a Community. These themes are translated into big-ticket projects by the university in response to the needs of Mindanao such as expanded academic offerings and the creation of the College of Human Kinetics, the College of Medicine, and the College of Engineering; strengthening R&D in the two streams of Mindanao arts and cultures and sustainable agri- and biosystems and the application of knowledge generated

OWWA Davao Region releases over 2.0 M for OWWA Rebate Program IN COMPLIANCE to the provision of the Republic Act (RA) 10801 otherwise known as the OWWA Act which sets to implement the grant of rebates to longtime members of OWWA, the Regional Welfare Office (RWO) XI has released a total of Php 2,015,969.25 to 857 OWWA members who availed of the OWWA Rebate Program (ORP) from the date of its implementation on September 10, 2019 up to November 29, 2019. Qualified beneficiaries of the ORP are OFWs who have been members of OWWA for at least ten years with at least five or more contributions as of December 31, 2017. These OFW-members or his/her family should not have availed of any program or benefit from OWWA. The computation for the Rebate Program is based on an actuarial study commissioned by OWWA which

determined the capability of the OWWA Fund to implement the rebate program without negatively affecting the regular programs and services of the agency. Qualified OFWs may be able to claim Php 941.25 up to Php 13,177.50 based on the number of their contributions. The amount will be deposited to their respective bank accounts. One of the qualified beneficiaries of the program in Davao Region is Jose Aguilar Jr., a Payroll Analyst of a cruise ship for 17 years now. He felt glad that he qualified for the rebate program. “I appreciate OWWA for giving its members a benefit like the rebate program. It is really a good program of OWWA that can help us in some other way. It’s not just about the amount but the giving of importance to See PROGRAM, page 9

to public service and intellectual property utilization; and physical expansion of UP Mindanao’s campus into a “green university town” through the completion of the Davao City-UP Sports Complex and the establishment of a botanical garden, museums, and a science and technology park, just to name a few. Digal said that the establishment of UP Mindanao twenty-four years ago has given the University of the Philippines “the first-mover advantage.” He added, “Today, various universities from the National Capital Region and Luzon are opening campuses here in Mindanao, perhaps lured by the promise of vast opportunities. Hence, UP has been afforded a twenty-fiveyear head start to establish itself in Mindanao, and we need to take advantage of this opportunity.” However, he notes that the university will be highly dependent on government to spur the university’s expansion to address Mindanao’s diverse needs. Senator Zubiri stated, “I support your resolutions for a science and technology park, your botanical garden, the college of medicine, and your sustainable agribiosystems research and development. I will provide additional funding from the Senate and let’s make our dreams happen.”

Congressman Ungab, in turn, said, “I can already foresee that you will achieve your goal with the combined support of able delegates from the legislature, the local and the national executive departments up to the chief executive. It may not be easy to implement your strategic plan for it takes measures of patience, tolerance, and understanding as you go along the fiveyear plan but it is timely, considering that the budget call for fiscal year 2021 is near approaching. Be in time for the budget call so that you can include in your budget proposals the implementation of programs and projects.” “Let us compete!” said Secretary de la Peña in his response after receiving the resolutions on behalf of President Duterte from Mr. Sebastian Angliongto, chairman of the UP Mindanao Foundation Inc. (UPMFI). “UP Mindanao should aim to be a comprehensive university. A comprehensive university is highly justified because UP Mindanao has only one campus. The new programs will determine what will be necessary to build and the research to undertake,” he said. Other invited speakers to the RAI included UPAA director Robert Aranton who talked about the role of the alumni network in See EXPANSION, page 9

The downside of martial law

WITH the external threats reportedly gone with the wind, Martial Law in Mindanao is no longer relevant and therefore the lifting is well justified. Martial Law has to end but not without its downside. First to suffer was the image of Mindanao, portrayed in the international community as a terrorist haven. Foreign investments halted and the ‘Build, Build, Build’ economic mantra for Mindanao grounded. Tourists arrived in trickles thanks but no thanks to travel ban effected by countries vocal to the human right issues of the DU30 administration. Travel bans had made tourists and investors apprehensive about coming

to Mindanao. And talking about investments, there never was enough economic development in Mindanao basically aimed at improving infrastructure, enhance connectivity and ensure balanced economic activity alongside with other growth centers in the country. Captains of industries has unlocked their power to fuel Mindanao as the next mecca of industrial development but their effort has minimal ripple effect to crow about. With martial law out, Big Business is again ‘dreaming big’ of making Mindanao globally competitive through the improvement of connectivity and access to local and global markets. It plans to invest in manufacturing, agricul-

ture, electronics, tech voc and other business related programs that will propel Mindanao’s march to sustainable socio-economic development. Further, their dream continues in making Mindanao globally-competitive through the placements of advanced technologies and trends by luring drivers of industries to locate permanently their investments in Mindanao. The challenge is now up for all Mindanaoans, not just for the business community -- to pursue socio-economic development initiatives through the four development corridors: Northern Mindanao Development Corridor, Southern Mindanao Development Corridor, Western Mindanao Development Cor-

Ruffy Magbanua

ridor, and the Bangsamoro Development Corridor. These growth corridors are perceived as it were to provide greater access and connectivity that can reduce transportation costs, raise the level of income, provide job opportunities and improve the competitiveness of farmers and producers alike. Moreover, global industries like the long overdue China Integrated Steel Mill project at Phividec are seen to generate jobs by the thouSee DOWNSIDE, page 11

SEA Games: Humanity above all “Winning the competition and upholding sportsmanship is important, but humanity is above all.” (President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, December 9, 2019) The quotation above was stated by my President, Joko Widodo (Jokowi). It was sent by a friend of mine, Dr. Randy Tudy, from the Digos city, Philippines. He tagged it on my Facebook newsfeed, exactly on the same day as stated by Mr. Jokowi on December 9, 2019. So far, we have eyewitnessed the fact of sport contest or the sport game is always highly competitive. All the competitors, very specifically in football match, are so fierce. Mostly,

they even play so hard to win. Sometimes we can also see the bad acts on the opponents for winning. But, in the surfing game, the Filipino surfer, Roger Casugy, at the SEA Games 2019, was really so noble. He showed the high degree of value in humanity. He abandoned grasping the gold medal, though in few minutes about to get it, he preferred forgetting that opportunity. He decided to help the opponent contestant, Indonesian surfer, who drowned in the water. After falling down from his surfing pane, he drowned. He was swept over by the three-meter high wave. Roger Casugy decided to help the opponent, Indonesian surfer,

Arip Nurhidayat, drowned in the water. After falling down from his surfing pane, Arip drowned. He was swept over by the three-meter high wave. This is really the noblest action done by the Filipino surfer. He demonstrated his appreciation towards humanity to the world. He showed an action teaching us, the world public, about the high value of humanity. Grasping the gold medal is the priority in any games. Grabbing the best achievement in any sport contest is the utmost goal for any sportsmanship. So, it was really the noblest behavior demonstrated by the Filipino surfer, Roger Casugy. He forgot all of those wishes. When practicing the

Dr. Djuwari

value of humanity, we can do some actions. These actions can be also done by many people around the world. For example, someone may show empathy. Empathizing other people in our surrounding is also an act of humanity. We can also do this in our everyday lives. Another example of action demonstrating the humanity value is by showing gratitude. We can gratitude other people any time. It is so simple but sometimes See HUMANITY, page 11

Maricar Reyes-Poon Says Yes to Natural Skin Protection With Pynocare A CTRESS and model Maricar Reyes-Poon is known for her flawless and ageless beauty, which she credits to a healthy regimen of proper sleep, a nourishing diet, and plenty of water. In a media conference held at the Dusit Thani

Hotel in Makati on December 9, 2019, she reveals an addition to her all-natural beauty arsenal: Pynocare. Pynocare is the world’s first oral natural depigmentation solution specially designed to lighten and prevent melasma, a skin condition resulting in

brown, uneven patches on the face due to overproduction of the skin pigment melanin. While often caused by direct exposure to the sun’s UV rays, hormonal changes and pollutants can also be triggers. Pynocare softgel capsules consist of a powerful blend of

organic extracts that are lab-tested and proven by medical experts to lighten melasma in as little as eight weeks. These include vitamin C, Beta Carotene, D alpha tocopheryl acetate and procyanidin – all effective antioxidants that decrease hyperpigmentation, promote skin healing, and protect the skin from harmful UV rays that cause dark spots and premature skin agin. An advocate of natural skin care methods, Reyes-Poon says that Pynocare keeps her skin clear and healthy, an essential tool in her trade. “As an actress and model, healthy, glowing skin is important. But long hours under the sun during taping and shoots and lack of sleep can also wreak havoc on the skin. With Pynocare, I don’t have to worry

about that, because it gives me natural protection against UV ray.” Pynocare is created by MEGA Lifesciences, a leading health and wellness company specializing in safe and

effective nutritional and herbal , including countries in Europe and the Southeast Asia. For more information about Pynocare and MEGA Lifesciences, visit their website at megawecare.com.

sands. Infra projects consisting of ports and airports improvements, inter-regional and intermodal roads, bridges, and roll-on, roll-off shipping facilities, among others are expected to highlight the last three years of the Duterte administration. On one hand, the economic agenda and policies of the government i.e. its build, build, build infrastructure mantra must be sustained for job creation and opportunities for the country in particular, and the island of Mindanao in general. Needed badly now is a strong, no nonsense political will for this grand plan to take off the ground. (ruffy44_ph2000@yahoo. com)

we need to learn how to do it. So, we can be human by showing our gratitude. Another action reflecting humanity is by respecting other people. When we always respect other people we can be said we have shown the value of humanity. It is also easy to do it. That’s the attitude and behavior showing humanity. Last but not least, humanity can also be done by being humble. Being humble means we can also show humility. This is the action of humanity. However, above all, the action by the Filipino surfer, Roger Casugay is the noblest one. It is categorized not only empathy, gratitude, respect, and humility, but it covers all of those actions. As an Indonesia citizen, I have to say my gratitude to you, the noblest surfer, Roger Casugy. May God bless you and your family.

PASIGA 2019 The 3rd Kaadlawan festival in the town of Villanueva in Misamis Oriental started with the PASIGA 2019, the lighting of giant “Sulo” (torch). Ruel Gayoso, municipal administrator of Villuanueva town, said the switchon ceremony of the giant “Sulo,” a vernacular term for torch, served as one of the highlights of “Fiesko 2019” or the “Happy Fiesta and Pasko celebration of the municipality of Villanueva.” “It was an annual activity of the local government of Villanueva,” said Gayoso adding, “what was added this year is the lighting of the giant torch apart from the usual Christmas trees and lanterns.” He said ceremonial switch-on of the Villanueva High Mast Tower (SULO) with accompanying music and dancing Christmas lights was spearheaded by Mayor Jennie Uy. Although second district Rep. Juliette T. Uy, who is still attending the session in Congress, failed to attend the activity, Gayoso said the congresswoman sent second

Friday, December 13, 2019 district Board Member Jessa Mugot to represent her. In her post to FB, Mugot said: “Thank you LGU Villanueva and Mayor Jennie Uy for inviting me! So Honored to be part of your celebration. More blessings Villanueva!!! Happy Fiesta!” The lighting of the “Giant Sulo” was done at the town’s Public Plaza on December 1 (Sunday) at around 7 in the evening, Gayoso said. Mayor Uy also led the official opening of the InterBarangay Christmas Village contest with every barangay creating miniature replicas of significant landmarks in our town. She also led the official opening of the Inter-school Christmas Tree Contest designed by the various schools within the municipality using recycled materials. “This Sulo shall serve a practical purpose in our community that goes beyond a symbolic landmark,” said Mayor Uy. “In this tower, a blinker and emergency siren will be set up that will serve as an early warning device to alert our constituents of impending calamities that have been predicted to strike such as typhoons and tsunamis,” she said. In addition, Mayor Uy said a public address system will be set up in this tower for important announcements concerning the safety of our community, peace and order and cleanliness. For her part, Congresswoman Uy said: “SULO for me, simply signifies that The municipality of Villanueva aide its constituents to move FORWARD to the RIGHT PATH to achieve a holistic development and a direction to be the more progressive municipality of Mindanao.” “Thank you Mayor Jennie Rosalie T. Uy, and former Mayor Julio Uy for the vision you endowed for the good of all Villanuevanons,” said Congresswoman Uy. Apart from Pasiga, Gayoso said some of the activities include the Unity Cup, an open competition for Basketball and Volleyball enthusiasts. He said the town has also scheduled a bloodletting, and an outreach program for driver’s license renewal, a joint partnership between the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and the town of Villanueva. Other activities, he said include the Religious night, Educators’ Night, the

Kaadlawan festival, a street dancing and Tableau showdown competition, and the search for Festival Queen, an activity in honor of the patron saint of Villanueva, the Our Lady of Guadalupe.

they need. Under the CSBP, the dependents of KIA soldiers and KIPO officers will receive financial, employment, livelihood, educational, housing and healthcare assistance. And before his term ends, the chief executive vowed to institutionalize the program to cover personnel from the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG). T he Pre s i d e nt a ls o thanked the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the Philippine National Police (PNP) and other concerned agencies for ensuring that the CSBP is implemented properly. Despite the challenges ahead, the President has expressed optimism that with the steadfast dedication and firm leadership that those organizations have displayed, the government will not waver on its promise of uplifting the welfare of the people, especially those who have sacrificed their lives in order to protect and serve the country. The administration will continue to do its best to honor the KIA soldiers and KIPO officers’ memory by staying true to the commitment of upholding the country’s sovereignty, preventing lawless violence and protecting democratic institutions, the President said.

The LGU team explained to the parents and informed them about the consequences of defying to bring their ailing kids to the hospital, but the bakwits’ insisted that their children were all fine.

in Bukidnon said the bakwits’ defiance to bring sick children to the hospital is a clear violation of children’s rights. “This case involves children that the state has a special responsibility to protect. Republic Act 7610 makes it clear that children must not be put at risk. This is what the law says. So we must act according to our mandate. Otherwise, the parents will be charged with a criminal case in violation of R.A 7610,” he said. Guided by Republic Act 7610 or the Special Protection of Children Act, a team from local government units of Kitaotao and Quezon along with the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP), Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), and Philippine National Police (PNP) exerted efforts on December 7 to rescue the said kids. Due to the bakwits’ resistance, the rescue team failed to get the five sick children. Some rescue team members, however, suggested pursuing the operation but considering hundreds of people and children in the neighborhood who will be affected in case of chaos, especially that it is already past 10:00 at night, PNP Provincial Director Roel L. Lami-ing suggested deferring the operation. Hence, cooler heads prevailed. Unconfirmed media reports later said that the bakwits’ spokesperson has warned that some armed Special Partisan Unit (SPARU) or “Sparrow (NPA’s hit squad)” are with the bakwits inside their lair at the IFI compound.

But military reports showed that the area in Quezon where the bakwits left was not affected in the operation. Online views, thus, implied that the incident bolsters public suggestions that these bakwits must have been deceived by the alleged NPA organizers who carried out this exodus just to further the NPA’s cause. In an interview, Quezon town mayor Pablo M. Lorenzo III said the local government distributed relief goods on several occasions since the bakwits started arriving at IFI in Kitaotao. “We gave them food packs and other relief goods, especially medicines because these things were most needed as our RHU reported that there were sick children inside the campsite,” the mayor said. After weeks of staying away from their village, the natives rode home towards Barangay Sta. Felomina aboard dump trucks, accompanied by Quezon and Kitaotao MDRRMO personnel and local officials with the Army’s 88th Infantry Battalion. “I’m grateful to those who helped us in this crisis and in seeking a peaceful way to end this conflict. I hope that these bakwits from Sitio Dumasilag in Sta. Felomina—now that they’re home—would cross their fingers that the possibility of leaving home without apparent reason would never happen again,” mayor Lorenzo said. (RLRBalistoy/ PIA Bukidnon)
