save the environment on which our lives depend,” said Dr. Angelina P. Galang, President of Green Convergence. The biennial Summit is unique to most forums on the environment that present the dire state of our planet in that it recognizes the valiant efforts of many Filipinos who are taking positive steps to counter the destruction. “Our Summit proclaims the good news,” Galang stressed. “We celebrate the Philippine environmental movement, and call for the Filipino people to unite in accelerating the drive towards sustainable development.” C on f i r me d pl e nar y speakers include Federico Lopez, CEO of the Energy Mayor William Calvez of Trento Agusan del Sur (left) and Agusan del SurProvincial Development Corporation Agrarian Reform Program Officer II Jamil Amatonding Jr. shovel sand into a capsule

SAN FRANCISCO, Agusan del Sur--- Soon, agrarian reform farmers in the four towns of this province will no longer sell their palay to middlemen and traders. This will be realized in April this year when a large scale dryer and multi-pass rice milling plant in Trento town is expected to be opened where the farmers themselves will already become rice suppliers initially to government institutions with huge demand of their produce. The P26.9 million plant, fully equipped with facilities including multi pass rice mill, recirculating meto mark the groundbreaking of the P26.9 large scale dryer and multi-pass rice milling chanical batch dryer, five plant.

BARMM to establish provincial LDN opens new TVET training center in Sulu prov’l jail building COTABATO CITY -- A provisional provincial Technical-Vocational Education and Training (TVET) training center will soon rise in the province Sulu in a bid to bring Bangsamoro Government services closer to its people. The Bangsamoro Ministry of Basic Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE) signed a memorandum of agreement with the Hadji Buto School of Arts and Trades (HBSAT) on 21 February 2020 for the establishment of the provincial training center. “I would like to thank HBSAT for agreeing to host the TVET training center,” said BARMM Education Minister Mohagher Iqbal. Under the agreement, the HBSAT will provide a space for the provisional training center. The MBHTE through its technical education and skills development arm will utilize the space in putting up workshops for the training programs. “The training programs will include agriculture and construction-related skills development among others,” said Iqbal. With the establishment of the training center, TESDABARMM Executive Director See ESTABLISH, page 8

Government and the two Congressional Districts, First District Representative, Congressman Mohamad Khalid Quibranza Dimaporo and Second District Representative, Congressman Abdullah ‘Bobby’ Dimakuta Dimaporo, are not for our own good, but for the best interest of the people of Lanao del Norte,” Dimaporo said. Gov. Dimaporo also thanked the department heads and division officers of the province for their constant support by actively initiating and implementing the programs of the provincial government. “Let us continue to work together, for your failure will be my failure, and the

stitutions, who are already engaged or are interested to establish micro and small agribusiness enterprises, can loan up to Php15-million, payable in five years without interest. “The said credit programs are part of the gov-

ernment’s strategies to address unemployment and the aging population of Filipino farmers,” he added. PAA Region-10 - Pineapple Chapter facilitated the event headed by Carlota S. Madriaga, PAA-R10 President, who is at the same time the DA-RFO 10 Regional Technical Director for Operations. Madriaga said that regional LEA board passers oathtaking is the first regional chapter oathtaking in history, which will be followed by other regions nationwide. “The initiative is favorable to most of the board passers. Aside from it can lessen their transportation cost, which is usually administered in Luzon, acquiring the certificate needed for the job application will be easier and convenient,” she added. Also present in the event was PAA National Officer Arthur R. Baria, who also led the oathtaking of the new PAA members. (EMB/ DA10)

COVID-19 threat is very much real

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina—When my husband Ronnie and I arrived at the Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan following a marathon flight from Manila, Philippines enroute to Detroit, USA, I thought I was inside a hospital. I saw a lot of passengers wears ng face masks and lab gowns. The airport entrance had a table manned by what I believe were technicians and they had glasses of different colors. I thought we would undergo swabbing but my husband and I, assisted on our wheelchairs by a Japanese attendant rushed to the Immigration area where we were greeted by more passengers wearing face masks of different colors. I wore a face mask since I underwent chemotherapy and I was careful with my health. While we had a two-hour layover at the airport, I read a book entitled ‘Manila Was A Long Time Ago’ by AA Patawaran and took down some notes. COVID 19, formerly known as novel coronavirus (nCoV), is very much real now to me now that I was

in another country. The reality of COVID-19’s threat wasn’t evident when I was in Cagayan de Oro where it was but a news item. Don’t get me wrong. I monitored the news on COVID 19 while I vacationed in the Philippines and Cagayan de Oro wasn’t isolated from this as there were reports of persons under investigation (PUIs) for COVID 19 that later tested negative at the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC). I was also in the City of Golden Friendship when the panic buying for face masks resulted in pharmacies running out of supplies. Then there was the city residents eyeing suspiciously the Chinese especially whenever they caugh or sneeze without covering their noses and mouths. The Narita airport had hand sanitizers, liquid soap, hot water, dryer and paper towels and its restrooms were clean. As we boarded our Delta flight, the flight attendants wore face masks as they ushered us to our seats. I told myself, oh boy the COVID-19 threat is very much real.

I take consolation that my daughter Janice P. Baisas fed me soup with kalamunggay and fish along with black rice to build my immunity. While on air, most of our fellow passengers wore face masks. My husband Ronnie’s seatmate, a Caucasian from Florida, tried to suppress his coughing while talking to him and I was glad I wore double face masks to protect myself. It was hard to breathe at first but then I got used to it. The flight to Detroit was marked with a symphony of coughing with passengers taking furtive looks at whoever did the coughing or sneezing or both. It was clear there was a shared anxiety among everyone on board even if there no one dared to show signs of it. Thirty minutes before landing, we heard the pilot announce that we were five minutes ahead of schedule and thanked everyone for flying Delta Airlines. This was followed by an announcement, this time a female voice, instructing passengers to remain

Susan Palmes-Dennis

at their seats upon arrival until their names are called by a representative from the border patrol or the Center For Disease Control. Obviously it was because of COVID-19. Ronnie and I held hands as the plans touched the runway. The cockpit was eerily silent, broken by the announcement that a CDC rep waited outside. As names were called, I tensed up especially on hearing the name Dennis until I realized it was another Dennis and not me or my husband Ronnie. There were 15 persons that were questioned on their health conditions i.e if they came from China, had any episodes of coughing and sneezing or severe ailment and I was glad we were not among them. The inspection only reinforced the reality of the COVID-19 health threat and I join the rest of the world in praying for a vaccine. That there were pledges for See THREAT, page 8

Letters from Davao

About freedom and power THE problem of ABS CBN is neither about the issue of press freedom, which is being bannered by its defenders, nor about Pres. Rodrigo Duterte’s alleged personal gripes against the giant Network. The unfair treatment of ABS CBN on then Mayor of Davao City when he joined the Presidential race is beyond him now although this left an indelible mark in his political career. For how can one forget when he was made to pay in advance for a political advertisement which was never aired but instead preempted by series of black propaganda using innocent children to denigrate him? Can this vain display of muscle part of freedom that the defenders of ABS CBN are fighting for? Freedom? The only time it was totally curtailed was when it was shut down during the aegis of martial law. But ABS CBN was not alone in that misery. When martial law regime ended, the luckiest to regain their possessions courtesy of the revolutionary government of Cory Aquino, were the Lopezes. While the Cory government became the biggest disenchantment ABS CBN along with the firms under the Lopez Holdings Corporation (formerly Benpres) was another saga. The moment they got hold of their

resources the Lopezes lost no time in exercising the restoration of its resources, power and influence. The firm may not be into banking but who need one when the Development Bank of the Philippines was there with vaults open. Loans were granted in a wink, the taxpayers were not even aware of it, and then were written off. If those sprinkles of motley “oust-Duterte” groups think that behest loans were granted to Benpres, Skycable, Bayantel and Maynilad because these firms were bankable, they better think beyond their biases. Those behest loans were granted because of the might and power of ABS CBN. VP Leni Robredo described the network aptly. “Ang makapangyarihang himpilan”. If there is one thing these issues surrounding the renewal or extension of the franchise of ABS CBN and the quo warranto had unmasked it is how this Network exercise its power and influence and mind you this has nothing to do freedom because the truth is its freedom goes beyond the limits of democracy. But such is the misfortune of Filipinos. If during the era of Marcos we had cronies and behest loans, the Aquino administration improved on it. This should give President Duterte and

his rich friends a warning to stay away from behest loans and sovereign guarantees. It’s humbling for Carlo Lopez Katigbak, the young President and CEO of the giant network to come out and admit in public that ABS CBN had shortcomings and that they will endeavor to correct them. Hardly had the message of Katigbak settled down however, here comes Karen Davila interviewing Presidential Spokesman Sal Panelo with the usual air attempting to implicate President Duterte in each question on what seemed like an impending tragedy their franchise will not be tackled in Congress and the quo warranto may take its course in the Supreme Court. To her chagrin she was no match to Panelo. If in the past she embarrassed many of her guests, that encounter with Sal was to be her chastisement. Karen’s talk show, “Head start”, was obviously crafted to elicit proof that Duterte is behind the delay in tackling several bills pending in congress that would add a new lease of life to ABS CBN franchise which will expire on March 30. Davila also dragged the President as the one behind the filing of quo warranto in the High Court. She summed these all up as Duterte’s move in curtailing the freedom of the press. Panelo moreover

Jun Ledesma

removed the cobwebs and hot air in her head. He said, it is in fact the President who is prodding the House of Representatives to agenda for deliberations all the bills that relate to ABS CBN franchise. Sen. Bong Go made the same assertion in the Senate deliberation. On the QW, the palace spokesman said that Solgen Joe Calida is acting on his own after discovering alleged serious breach that the Network committed. Panelo told Davila that Calida might be charged with dereliction of duty if he failed to act on what he is mandated to do. The handful of people that showed up in rallies at Edsa to oust Duterte speaks for itself. But nothing can argue against the fact that 87% of the Filipinos are satisfied with what the President is doing. One giant Network cannot diminish the fact that in this small country we have thousands of broadcast and print media establishments not to include a mesh mass of internet-based media exercising their freedom in limitless abandon. Anyone who says otherwise is either a liar or a paid propagandist.

DA-10 to brush up Corn and Rice projects implementation protocols following NAFIAT audit AFTER a five-day intensive audit by the Nationwide Agri-Fisheries Investment Audit Team (NAFIAT) from February 17-21, 2020, the Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office 10 (DA-RFO 10) management committed to strengthen its operational policies and project implementation for its Rice and Corn programs. DA-RFO 10 OIC-Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado eyed for the build up of corn and rice projects execution strategies in the coming years noting NAFIAT findings. “The biggest room in this world is the room for selfimprovement. We assure you [NAFIAT] that we will be doing our best to improve our weaknesses and further strengthen our strengths as we continuously serve our farmers in Region 10,” Director Collado candidly

said as he thanked the audit team’s inputs. The director assured them that the findings will be properly addressed through a concerted effort by DA-10 management committee. The nationwide corn and rice programs audit by NAFIAT was prompted by the media storm over improper allocation of governmentgranted agri machineries and infrastructure projects, prompting DA to organize a special audit team by virtue of Special Order No. 1042. NAFIAT is primarily commissioned to audit DA mechanization programs from CY 2015-2019 with the goal of strengthening the country’s agricultural modernization program focusing on two key frameworks: funds audit and physical audit. Dr. Rosanna Marie C.

Amongo of PSABE, NAFIAT sub-team 2 leader and her team rolled-out a five-day audit of DA-10 Corn and Rice Programs farm mechanization projects. The audit was conducted by interviewing and meeting focus groups and key informants involved in the projects implementation – DA-RFO 10 key personnel, selected LGU and AFC officials, agri- machinery dealers, solar powered irrigation system contractors, farmer associations and cooperatives. To gather ground-level information, the audit team also visited selected farmer beneficiaries in Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon provinces. After comprehensive data gathering, analysis and assessment, NAFIAT came up with its audit findings and was presented to DA-RFO

10 management committee in an exit meeting on February 21, 2020 at the Marianne Suite, Cagayan de Oro City. Aside from DA’s good operational practices, NAFIAT has also observed areas to be strengthened for an improved project implementation. In her part, Regional Technical Director for Operations, Carlota S. Madriaga moved for the creation of a unified inter-division monitoring team to strategically monitor the projects implemented under the Rice and Corn programs. DA-10 is one of the first six regions audited by NAFIAT. While the audit observations are detailed in the exit meeting, the group will be presenting consolidated recommendations to the six DA regional field offices. # (ATalib)

DA-10 exec bares 2020 agri-programs, projects for MisOcc CdeO, February 20 – As its staunch partners in spurring agri-development, DA-RFO 10 helmed by OIC-Regional Executive Director bared the nearly Php192-million allocation for the province of Misamis Occidental (MisOcc) for the year 2020. Said allocation will fund various agricultural programs, projects and activities (PPAs) under the agency’s banner programs (Rice, Corn, Livestock and High Value Crops Development), Farm-to-Market Roads (FMRs), and special projects such as Organic Agriculture and Special Area for Agricultural Development (SAAD).

This, he said, during the Executive-Legislative-Judiciary-Agenda Workshop hosted by the local government of MisOcc headed by Governor Philip T. Tan, in the presence of the city and municipal local chief executives, agency heads and representatives of national line agencies. Tackled also is the various credit and lending schemes, 2021 proposed PPAs, and updates on the African Swine Fever (ASF) and preventive measures in the entry of said disease in the Region, of which the latter was reported by Juliet B. Araos, ASF focal and chief of the Regulatory Division.

Davao market vendors lament shrinking sales due to ASF By DIGNA BANZON

DAVAO CITY -- Market vendors in this city lamented on Monday their shrinking daily sales following the confirmed cases of African swine fever (ASF) here and in neighboring provinces. Eden Guira, president of the Federation of Public Vendors of Davao City, said daily sales have been dropping by as much as 50 percent since early this month. She cited that in her case, the average daily sales of 120 heads per day have now shrunk by 40 up to 50 percent. Guira supplies slaughtered meat to the two biggest markets in this city as well as the supermarkets in malls, which she said have dropped daily orders to two heads from the usual eight. She attributed the decrease to the concerns of consumers who fear eating pork following the ASF lockdown in the city and

in neighboring areas. But Guira pointed out that the two affected villages in the city are located in the hinterlands, with the ASFaffected hogs commonly owned by backyard raises. In contrast, she said she and other meat vendors in the city get their supplies from commercial farms that are ASF-free and duly accredited by the Office of the City Veterinarian, the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI), and the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS). “We could only hope that government would look into our plight because it has a big impact on our livelihood,” Guira said in a press conference here. One of the meat processors, Azon Alcoran, echoed Guira’s complaint, saying they hardly make a sale on their processed meat products lately. “My delivery goes to the different areas in Mindanao See SALES, page 8

Andanar: Defeating drug menace a shared responsibility among countries By PCOO

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Feb. 21 -- Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar told the international community that addressing the proliferation of illegal drugs is a global responsibility. “The problem of illegal drugs is not one that only affects our country, its detrimental effects—both physical and social—extend beyond borders,” Secretary Andanar said in his opening remarks for the film-showing session of the anti-illegal drugs campaign documentary film “Gramo,” on February 19, 2020, at the Philippine Embassy in Belgium. “Dealing with this prob-

lem is a shared responsibility among nations, as it continues to be a threat in many societies, in many countries,” he added. The Secretary said that the Duterte administration has constantly been undertaking numerous initiatives and programs to achieve its goal of drug-free and drugresistant communities. Andanar noted that fewer families feel victimized by common crimes, according to an October Social Weather Stations survey. He also noted that the Department of the Interior and Local Government reported an 11% drop in crime volume in July 2019 compared to the previous year. The PCOO Secretary also noted another independent survey that showed 8 out

July 2016. “We have already seen the positive changes brought about by President Duterte’s hardline stance against illegal drugs and criminality,” Andanar said. Philippine Ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg, and the European Union, His Excellency Eduardo Jose de Vega, meanwhile, welcomed the warm reception of the Filipino community during the film-showing session. “Watching it is also a way of showing how much we love our country, and how we want our country to rid itself of this drug menace,” said Ambassador de Vega. Belgian community leaders also expressed support for the PCOO’s documentary film “Gramo.” “It Is very impactful. I hope the people understand here that you really have to fight drugs, and you know you have to attack drugs on different areas. You have to do repression, and that’s See DRUG, page 8

Ruby Andong is optimistic that more Bangsamoro constituents in Sulu will benefit from the project. “The training center will transform the lives of our brothers and sisters in Sulu,” said Andong. The MBHTE is also tasked to train HBSAT technical-vocational teachers and help the school improve on its technical-vocational capability. Iqbal said the establishment of the training center also contributes to efforts creating an enabling environment for sustainable peace, justice, and prosperity in the Bangsamoro. “We are slowly reaping

the benefits of peace since the creation of the new Bangsamoro Government under the Duterte administration,” said Iqbal. He added more investments are coming in to BARMM because of region’s favourable peace and order situation, which is a result of the peace accord and the establishment of new Bangsamoro regional government. “We need to ensure that the region is ready to produce skilled workers for existing and upcoming industries in the BARMM,” said Iqbal. Iqbal said the training center is hoped to supply skilled workers for industries in the province of Sulu and nearby areas.

What is the importance of MAPEH in our daily lives? By EDITHA DUMAT-OL HALANDUMON, Master Teacher 1 Dona Consuelo Elementary School Division of Ozamiz City

MAPEH is an important subject. Because it’s connected to our statistical skills and its four main components (music, arts, physical education and health) are related to our daily lives. And we can use MAPEH in our college years in any course. Physical education aims to make the students physically strong, well-poised, sound and efficient, mentally alert and active and emotionally tempered and well-balanced. Each year level takes on a different fitness program such as sports, gymnastics, dancing and martial arts. The music and arts programs seeks to expose students to and develop appreciation for Philippine, Asian and Western music. Students do not only acquire factual and

theoretical knowledge but are also introduced to applications like singing, playing Filipino and Asian instruments, listening to recordings and reading, writing and creating music. Music provides a way for them to express themselves in a unique way. Music is a universal language which connect children to other cultures. He alt h education is designed to keep students abreast with health concerns and issues. Lessons on health assessment, proper hygiene, first aid, drugs and substance abuse, mental health, communicable and non-communicable diseases, alternative medicine and nutrition and fitness all aim to lead the students to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

5S: A Necessity in Any Workplace

By RUBY JANE R. GACASAN

5S is a methodological way to organize the workplace and working practices as well as being an overall philosophy and way of working. It originated from Japan which was developed by Hiroyuki Hirano within his overall approach to production systems. It is split into 5 phases, each named after a different Japanese term beginning with the letter “S”; (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke) hence the name 5S stands for: Sort, Set in order, Sweep, Standardize and Sustain – that are also sometimes known as the 5 pillars of a visual workplace. In any workplace, 5S is a necessity. It is to be practiced to reduce waste and optimize productivity through maintaining an orderly workplace and using visual cues to achieve more consistent operational results. 5S is a good starting point for all improvement efforts, to drive wastes and ultimately improve a company’s bottom line by improving products and services, and lowering costs. It is an answer of any

agency’s quest for making more efficient while improving the bottom line by reducing their costs. 5S does not refer only to sorting, setting in order, sweeping, standardizing and sustaining printed copies and other tangible materials but it is also applied to electronic files stored in the computers. Electronic files need also inventory from time to time so that old, unusable and obsolete files be discarded. This is done for easy access, enabling the user to minimize time and effort in locating files when needed. “A place for everything and everything in its place” is the essence of the 5S method. It can be best described further as allowing organization to maximize use of cubic spaces for the highest density storage and ease of working. The result is an improved working condition and achieving lowest overall cost for goods produced. Hence, 5S strategy, when observed and practiced; time, money and efforts among employees could be saved while improving the overall performance of office operations.

Charlemagne Aldevera, operations manager of Ma-a slaughterhouse, shared the sentiments of local meat vendors and processors, noting that a growing number of places in Mindanao have already banned live hogs and pork from this city. Aldevera said the daily average heads of 500 to 600 slaughtered pigs at the government-owned slaughterhouse have dropped to around 200 per day. “There is really a drastic drop because our slaughtered pigs are no longer allowed to enter in other areas because of the lockdown,” he said.

exactly what they’re doing,” said Ronnie De Blair, a police officer from the Belgian Federal Police. Meanwhile, Friendship for the Philippines president Dominiek Segaert said that the film was both shocking, and convincing. “It was very convincing, I was very shocked to see this. I think this film has to be shown to all people who are opponents of the Duterte government, and who are calling themselves civil rights, human rights people. Let those people who are always shouting

about civil rights, go to the Philippines, go to see this mess that’s killing thousands of families, and police officers, youth. I think the message of this film is to be an ambassador to all people who are involved in human rights,” said Segaert. “This film has to be shown to everybody, and I would say good luck to the Dutere government, and also to the people within two years after the Duterte government, that I beg that people will follow his steps to fight this cancer,” he added.

from page 1 solar dryers, a 10-wheeler winged van hauler truck, a sixwheeler truck and a warehouse, is a project of the Department of Agrarian Reform under the Convergence of Value Chain Enhancement for Rural Growth and Empowerment (Project ConVERGE). The large-scale dryer and rice milling plant are jointly funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the Philippine government as part of Project ConVERGE’s P110 million allocation for the agrarian reform farmers in Veruela, Trento, Bunawan and Sta. Josefa or what they called VETREBUNS cluster of rice production processing and marketing. Local government units in the VETREBUNS cluster allotted 20 percent of the projects costs as their counterparts. The plant will be operated by Southern Agusan Seed Producers Cooperative (SASEPCO) which will served

as consolidator of the rice produce from three other agrarian reform beneficiaries organizations-- Kahugpungan sa Malahutayong Mag-uuma Para sa Ekonomikanhong Kalambuan (KAMMPE), La Fortuna Multi-Purpose Cooperative (LAMUPCO) and Baug CARP Beneficiaries Multi Purpose Cooperative (BARBMPC). Already, the organized agrarian reform farmer cooperatives have cornered a P16 million supply of rice with the Department of Social Welfare and Development after winning the competitive government bidding. They were able to secure a certification from Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PHILGEPS) with the technical assistance and capability building training from Department of Agrarian Reform Provincial Office in Agusan del Sur. The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology and the D.O. Plaza Memorial Hospital will follow suit in ordering thousands of bags of rice from them.

Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II Jamil P. Amatonding Jr. said the farmers under Project ConVERGE will be liberated from the cudgels of middlemen and unscrupulous traders since they will no longer sell their palay at the lowest farm gate prices and instead become productive rice entrepreneurs. Amatonding said the project when realized in April will in a way address the problems of farmers from the negative effects of Rice Tariffication Law (RTL) which also affected farmers in VETREBUNs cluster. Maximo Gegato, SASEPCO manager, said some 20 of their 200 members stopped tending their rice fields and converted their produce into bananas because of heavy losses in their harvest last year as a result of declining prices of palay. He said traders pegged the palay prices at P700 to 800 per

50-kilo bag from what used to be P1,000 to P1,400 before the implementation of RTL. But Amatonding assured the sad plight of the farmers on the bad effects of RTL will be a thing of the past as the VETREBUNS farmers is expected to increase their yield by 30 percent when they will fully benefit the cost effective mechanized farming system. Apart from the large-scale dryer and rice milling plant, agrarian reform organizations not only from ConVERGE cluster received a total of P17 million modern farm machineries and equipment during the turn over ceremonies here on February 13. Project ConVERGE allotted P13.7 million while the Climate Resilient Farm Productivity Support Project (CRFPSP) earmarked P3.3 million for the distribution of mechanized farm inputs.

TIMMULCO celebrates silver anniversary BAYOG, Zamboanga Sur — The 8,788 members of Timbermines MultiPurpose C ooperative (TIMMULCO), a homegrown multi-million peso cooperative has all the reasons to celebrate the cooperative’s founding anniversary today. “We are very fortunate to reap the benefits of seed sown 25 years ago today, shining radiantly and promising with the Almighty as our source of strength for all our blessings, the source of all our joy, the source of all our effectiveness,” said General Manager Marilyn Fernando-Mananay. This was echoed by Board Chairman Mario A. Baterna by saying that TIMMULCO has stayed on the right track for 25 solid years following the Cooperative Values and Principles in its operations. Chairman Baterna revealed that the cooperative total assets grew more than Php 224 Million Pesos with 8,788 proactive members spread out in the provinces of Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga Sibugay and Zamboanga del Norte of Region 9. “ T he op e r at i on of TIMMULCO has tremendously increased in terms of asset growth, high liquidity, lower delinquency, high operational self-sufficiency and profitability that ensured TIMMULCO’s stability and sustainability” General Manager Mananay said. TIMMULCO is always on the forefront in helping take shape our local economy particularly in terms of providing accessible and multifaceted services, and creating job opportunities, Chairman Baterna added. Even as it celebrates the 25th year of its existence, TIMMULCO has always risen to so many challenges. “Our cooperative has constantly thrived and achieved indelible mark of success through good governance exemplified by our Board of Directors. The productiveness and innovativeness poured-in by the Management, the values of cooperation and solidarity of our members and above all, the marvelous grace and faithfulness of the Almighty are the pillars of our strength in the arduous journey towards our dream to make all coop members enjoy better quality of life”, General Manager Mananay said. “Commitment reveals results, results reveal commitment.” The journey of TIMMULCO over the years was not without roller

coaster experiences but these challenges has transformed our cooperative to a more stronger and stable at it focused on nurturing our resolve to achieve the status of what it is today, Chairman Baterna said. In 1995, 41 members founded TIMMULCO that evolved into a successful community cooperative over the years. COOP HISTORY Way back in 1992, our country suffered an economic crisis. There was a spiraling increase of prices of prime commodities. Lowly-paid government employees had to strive hard from their meager income, and many resorted to borrowing from moneylenders, who charged very high interest rates. To address this situation, Conchita AleluyaSucaldito, Municipal Social Welfare and Development Officer and Melly G a l amb a o - Ma d amb a , the Population Outreach Worker of the municipality, initiated the creation of the local cooperative movement. It was started with 10 employees contributed equal sums of money and bought groceries directly from a wholesaler. They found out that the groceries were actually much cheaper because they had cut off the middleman’s profit. As news of the benefits of self-help spread, more LGU-employees joined the group. In 1995, the membership increased from 10 to 41 active members. An assembly meeting was called on July 1995 to inform the members that the group should be officially registered to the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) in order to have its legal identity. The Timbermines Multi-Purpose Cooperative (TIMMULCO) was officially registered on September 12, 1995 to the Cooperative Development Authority with CDA Registration No. PAG 1135-95. 2019 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS TIMMULCO achieved exceptional result in 2019 by achieving improvements in its key performance indicators: Based on audited figures, TIMMULCO total assets grew to Php224.3 million at the end of 2019 from P166.1 million in 2018 which increased by 35%. With a big leap, TIMMULCO’s net income as of end-December 2019 increased by 30.78% to Php6.641 million from P5.078 million in 2018. This translates to a Return on Equity of 11%, which

remains above the latest inflation rate and within the regional trend. The net loan portfolio expanding significantly by 23% or more than Php 28.7 million to reach Php 153.9 million. Its net income could have been higher due to the significant growth in loans. Attributed the increase in income and total assets of TIMMULCO is growth in membership which surged by 48% to 8788 at the end of 2019 from 5933 in 2018. In term of deposit TIMMULCO grew significantly by 26.40% to reach Php138.5 million from Php109 million as members deposits increased. Share Capital also increased by 12.19% to Php46.8 million from Php39.4 million. The loan delinquency rate slightly increase to 8.10% at the end of 2019 from 7.2% in 2018. TIMMULCO’S steady growth in deposits and share capital contributions from Members who invest their trust to TIMMULCO that lead to 1.8% rate of external borrowings over total assets as the year ended in 2019. This gives us the privilege and opportunity to continue to be a channel of greater financial services to our Members and higher rate of return of Member’ share in coming years, General Manager Mananay said. BOD Chairman Baterna said TIMMULCO continues to focus on achieving its strategic goals to sustain excellent financial services to its members through its efficient and cost-effective operations, maintenance of a substantial portion in its loan portfolio for priority sectors in the next five years. TIMMULCO will fuel economic activity in the rural and agricultural areas by providing financial and technical services to farmer/members through integrated and sustainab l e f ar m i ng m o d e l , agro-entrepreneurship, rice milling, trading and marketing, and its support to development programs of the government. The TIMMULC O’s heartwarming history is the inspiring providential legacy, which demonstrated what united efforts, unswerved cooperation, shared aspirations and dedicated service could accomplish to hurdle the obstacles towards the destined path to progress. With TIMMULCO’s success story is the profound lesson that there is no elusive dream in the task of building hopes, creating better lives and empowering the members

and their families towards the achievement of a genuine socio-economic advancement among the country’s marginalized rural communities, Chairman Baterna added. AWARDS AND RECOGNITION TIMMULCO received numerous awards in the areas of service, process improvement, community involvement, among others. TIMMULCO was awarded the Most Outstanding Cooperative in Region 9, Excellence in Providing Financial Inclusion Services, Excellence in Membership Growth and Expansion Program. TIMMULCO ACTIVITIES, PROJECTS, AND I N I T IAT I V E S T HAT PROMOTE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE COMMUNITY This Cooperative seriously adheres to its programmed social and economic responsibilities to the communities, the following undertakings and community service programs were initiated and implemented by TIMMULCO: AGRI-ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH CLUSTERING APPROACH (FROM A G R I C U LT U R E T O AGRIENTERPRISE) Agriculture is a crucial sector for global development as “farmers feed the world”. According to statistics, Agriculture is also the second greatest source of employment worldwide. TIMMULCO started this program on the fourth quarter of December 2019. From Agriculture to Agri enterprise, it has been observed how important is working with markets for profitable farming since there is growing recognition in government and private institutions in helping farmers and that it is no longer enough to just extend support to farmers in helping them improve their farm yields. TIMMULCO in partn e r s h ip w it h M A S S SPECC Development Cooperative and Department of Agriculture initiated agri-enterprise approach where farm production is combined with business management so that farm products are competitive in the market and their harvest bring them more income.
