CAGAYAN de Oro City-Candy Darimbang, the lone woman candidate for Cagayan De Oro City’s First Congressional District, is reportedly leading by about 500 votes in the “initial” unofficial revision of the contested 51 ballot boxes in 2016.

During the initial revision, a physical count of the votes had Darimbang garnering a total of 13,559 votes, while Rolando Uy got a total of 13,103 votes, a difference of 456 votes in SHOOTING RANGE.

PH farmers to work in rice demo farm in PNG Wednesday, February 28, 2018

By Malu Cadelina-Manar Mind aNews

KIDAPAWAN City--The Philippines will send at le ast 22 far mers f rom North Cotabato to Papua New Guinea (PNG) to work in the 100-hectare rice demonstration farm that will operate after the signing of an agreement between the two countries, Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Pinol said. Pinol said the farmers will come from his hometown in M’lang, North Cotabato. They will fly to PNG in April to start the development of the demo farm, which is located inside a university of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Port Moresby. The s e cret ar y s aid and his younger brother, M’lang Vice Mayor Joselito

Pinol, has talked about who to send to PNG. During their stay in PNG, each farmer will receive a monthly salary of P25,000, free meals and housing allowances. On March 7, Pinol will lead a delegation to finalize a bilateral agreement with his counterpart in PNG. He stressed this will build stronger cooperation in agriculture and fisheries between the two countries. He assured the government’s rice program will lead to food sufficiency for Filipinos even beyond 2020 with the country’s population growth pegged at 1.9 percent per annum. “ This rice program will ensure our future. As I have explained to the President, the country is growing by 1.9 percent per annum. With this rate, we

might reach 200 million 50 years from now. Now that we’re at 103 million, it has become a difficulty feeding our people. Our land area is only 4.9 million hectares,” said Pinol in an interview over Catholicrun DXND. The secretary cited that PNG holds much potential in agriculture, yet only 400 of its 46 million hectares are planted to rice. He said it was the PNG government that asked the Philippines to help develop its rice industry. “The people in PNG were told that planting rice in their area is not possible, but we found out that there are a few industries that control their rice industry. They import rice. Could you imagine that a kilo of rice in PNG is equivalent to P100 per kilo?” he said. He explained that under the proposed bilateral agreement, Filipino companies will lease PNG lands to produce rice to supply PNG’s national require-

countries would benefit from our money or we buy the products of Filipino farmers in PNG?” he asked. Pinol added that the Philippine government should consider outsourc-

Success is mostly failure THINK a minute. A successful man said: “Success is mostly about failing.” What we don’t know about the world’s most successful people is the many times they failed before they finally succeeded. Successful people know how to keep going and learning from their failures until they finally reach their goal. As a famous entertainer put it: “If you want the rainbow, you’ve got to put up with the rain.” This is a true story of a man who when he was 22 years old failed at business. The next year he tried for public office in the govern-

ment and lost; so he tried again at business, but failed at that again. Then, at age 25 he tried for government office again and this time he won. But the next year his wife-to-be died, and at age 27 he had a nervous breakdown. In the next 7 years he tried for government office 3 more times and lost all 3 times. Then 3 years later, at age 37, he tried again for government office and finally won. But only 2 years later he lost it again. In the next 10 years, he tried 2 more times for the Senate and lost both times. Then

he tried for Vice President and lost that also. Finally, 2 years later, at age 51, this man was elected President of the United States. Today, he is considered by many Americans to be the greatest President in America’s history. This is the true life story of Abraham Lincoln. Failing should make us better, not bitter. You can tell how strong a person is by how much failure it takes to stop him or her from continuing to try. Jesus Christ wants to give you His inner strength in your heart and character, so you will be able to handle your life’s difficulties and

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

disappointments. In fact, you will actually learn to use them to make you stronger and wiser. Jesus wants to guide and help you reach the real success He created you to enjoy, both personally and professionally. So won’t you ask Him to take full charge and control of your life every day, for the rest of your life? Just Think a Minute.

A view from the center:

EDSA people power – then and now By Lito Monico C. Lorenzana MindaNews

MANILA--After 32 years, the euphoria of the EDSA People Power Revolution has subsided; the memory of people dancing in the streets upon the news of a dictator fleeing Malacañang into the bosom of his erstwhile sponsor, America, is simply just that – a fading memory. And the Deegong, who toned down the celebration last year, has at last appointed people to the EDSA People Power Commission (EPPC). Foremost among these commissioners are Christopher Carrion, an original of the 1986 EDSA and one of the founders of the Spirit of EDSA, Inc., that over the years has managed to perpetuate its memory. The other is Joey Concepcion, the industrialist son of President Cory’s first Secretary of Trade and Industry, Jose Concepcion, Jr. President Duterte must have thought hard on the symbolism of these appointments, the old and the new; the former, to stamp his imprimatur for the original rationale of EDSA, “…the abrogation of a dictatorship and restoration of democracy…”; and the latter, to pass on the torch to the new face of EDSA, one without its socio-political warts and connotations of failed promises. Perhaps DU30 is sending the message that however one interprets whatever the lessons and recriminations of the past, they must be subsumed to a larger purpose—the emancipation of the Filipino from the shackles of decades-long stark poverty, injustice and corruption. President Duterte, too, was a child of EDSA, a derivative of its restructuring. A mere city prosecutor, he was flung into a political life when, upon the refusal by his mother Nanay Soling of an offer to become OIC Vice Mayor of Davao in 1986 by President Cory

Aquino, the son assumed the role. History is replete with such twists of fate. People on both sides of EDSA have interpreted its meaning over the years through the prism of each individual’s deep-seated beliefs, values and biases. Today, the perception of the winners and losers of EDSA are as convoluted as it was in 1986. No one is neutral on EDSA, except perhaps the millennials whose collective ethos have no intimate bond with the realities of those days. Perhaps this is inevitable as the passing of the years must strip away the “chaff from the grain.” Perhaps, this is meant to be. Many of the participants in the decades-long struggle leading towards those fateful four days are now past their 50s. And the cruel onslaught of age, has decimated our peers, but time has likewise liberated our ranks, septuagenarians and nonagenarians from the prison of the of familiarity of the not so recent past. Thus, we may now look back dispassionately upon those days with a more judicious eye. We are a dying breed and will carry the memories with us to our graves. But our recollections and interpretations of those days have been put in paper. When the corpus is dead, the written words live. These are excerpts. I am EDSA. We are EDSA. (The Manila Times, March 2, 2017) “I was wrong on my expectations about the ‘restoration of democracy.’ What was restored came with the re-establishment of the rule of an oligarchy and the continued perpetuation of traditional politics – albeit with a new set of personalities. Many of us in the decades-long struggle for real democracy from the mid-1960s, adherents of parliamentary-federal structure of government, were

enthusiastic in supporting Cory Aquino as she was our symbol against the repressive dictatorship. We understood too that she was from the elite and her values therefore were those of her class but we were hopeful that she would transcend these with the outpouring of love and adulation shown by the masses – whose values were not congruent to hers. A few of us recruited to her administration implored her to continue to rule under the revolutionary Constitution to give herself more time to dismantle not only the martial law structures but the unitary system of government which we then and still now believe perverted the principles of democratic governance. We were no match for the ruling class. Cory surrendered her prerogatives to real socio-economic-political reforms by rejecting the people’s gift – the 1986 revolutionary Constitution. She then proceeded to embed her dogmas in her 1987 Constitution. This is the Constitution guarded zealously by her son PNoy that President Duterte and we the Centrist Democratic Party (CDP)… and the majority of the downtrodden Filipinos want to replace; with a federalparliamentary system and a social market economy (SOME).” What happened to EDSA? (The Manila Times, March 9, 2017) “The Yellows … We were all ‘Yellows’ then as this was the color we wore after the assassination of Ninoy, symbolizing our protest against this dastardly act, and our struggle to boot out the dictator Marcos from power and institute real reforms. Some of us are no longer Yellows… Our perception of EDSA and our role in it runs counter to what is now being peddled mostly by those of the recent past

administration. Our take is that EDSA is not an Aquino family franchise, nor just a mere booting out of the Marcos family. And this is not a narrative of entitlements of two families. The Marcos Loyalist Reds… The hundred yellow ribbons ‘round the old oak tree’ may soon be covered by Red ones as the influx of Marcos supporters slowly inched their way into the political consciousness during the past years from their solid base in the Marcos homeland in the north. This resurgence can be attributed to the tolerance…of President Fidel Ramos, a cousin, who allowed the return of the dictator’s remains under strict conditions agreed to by the Marcos family, which agreement was reneged upon, perhaps, with the quiet acquiescence of the FVR administration. This paved the way for the complete rehabilitation of the family by PRRD who has admitted to his own father’s debt of gratitude to the father Ferdinand and his own fondness for the son, Bongbong. The son also did his part by demonstrating filial love – a trait much valued by the Filipino. On his run for the vice presidency, the Filipino millennial responded in kind. They are a powerful and versatile force that has clearly distorted the equation—partially alienating the yellows.” I wrote these words in the past. I stand by them. But my children and my grandchildren will have a different take. And it is inevitable and only proper. But I also wrote these in summation: “Perhaps the colors, Yellow and Red, will lose their significance and everything negative attached to them. Perhaps, the rise of a leader (DU30) who was himself a product of EDSA but tried to heal its wounds is what

area and keen understanding of the market,” CLI president and chief executive officer Jose Soberano III said in a statement to the local bourse. A recent study by leading real estate services firm Leechiu Property Consultants indicates that the ITBPM industry appears to be expanding from Metro Manila to Cebu, other Visayan capitals led by Bacolod, and other parts of the country. Soberano said the company is in a unique position to meet real estate demand in the Visayas and Mindanao regions where it is focused. “We’re set to roll out a total of 16 projects this year,” he said, “With more agreements now under negotiation. It is definitely the right time to further develop real estate in VisMin where there is real demand.” CLI offers a range of residential developments from top-end residential condominiums, to midmarket, economic and socialised housing. It has also diversified from residentials to mixed-use development and hotels. Residentials account for 67 percent of its total sales value; commercial-office developments, 22 percent; and hotels, 11 percent. (PNA)

Cebu Landmasters to launch two projects in Visayas MANILA -- Listed property firm Cebu Landmasters Inc.

Gold Museum soon to rise in ComVal By Maya Padillo

DAVAO CITY -- The goldrich Compostela Valley province will soon have a big thematic Gold Museum with an interactive feature of the mining operation in the province. Christine Dompor, Provincial Tourism Officer, said the province with the help of the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Tourism Infrastructure

Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), would build the biggest thematic museum in the country. It would have an area of about 4,000 to 5,000 square meters. Dompor said the museum would be an iconic landmark in Davao Region. It would be located within the ComVal capitol area. “We are now working with the Department of Tourism and the Tourism Infrastructure Enterprise

Zone Authority,” Dompor said. DOT will be sending a project management team to oversee the implementation of the project. The project was also endorsed by the Regional Development Council XI. Dompor said that at the end of the interactive tour is an area where jewelry products would be displayed. “You will see the fin-

ish products made by the artisans. It is going to showcase also the green mining practices which is being championed by the DOST (Department of Science and Technology),” she said. Dompor said it was in ComVal where the feasibility study on green mining was conducted. It shows that gold can be extracted without using cyanide and mercury, she added. (PNA)

well as well as fee-based income drove the bank’s earnings last year. BDO said customers loans went up by 18 percent to PHP1.8 trillion while total deposits rose by 11 percent to PHP2.1 trillion. In particular, low-cost savings and current account (CASA), which account for 73 percent of the total, ticked-up by 12 percent. With these output, the bank posted a 25 percent increase in net interest income to PHP81.8 billion. During the same period, non-interest income went up by 13 percent to PHP47.2 billion, boosted by the 30 percent rise in fee-based income to PHP28.9 billion. Last year, the bank’s insurance premiums increased by 23 percent to

PHP9.9 billion and this, the disclosure said, “compensated for the expected 20 per cent decline in trading and forex gains to PHP3.9 billion given the challenging market conditions.” “Overall, gross operating income advanced by 20 per cent to PHP129 billion,” it said. T he b an k’s pl an to further widen its reach through opening up of new branches, in turn, increased operating expenses by 21 percent to PHP84.9 billion. L ast year, the bank opened 76 branches bringing the total to 1,180, including the one in Hong Kong. The bank ended 2017 with a gross non-performing loan (NPL) ratio of 1.2 percent from year-ago’s 1.3 percent while NPL cover got better to 146 percent

from 2016’s 139 percent. It’s capital amounted to PHP298.3 billion, with Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio at 14.5 percent and 12.9 percent, respectively, higher than minimum regulatory levels. BDO was able to raise PHP60 billion in fresh equity through a stock rights offer (SRO) in January last year. “For 2018, BDO believes that its focused growth strategy, robust business franchise and solid balance sheet and capital base place the Bank well-positioned to tap opportunities in growth sectors benefiting from the countr y’s favorable demographics and the government’s infrastructure build-up,” the disclosure added.

BDO posts 7% hike in net income in ‘17 By Joann Villanueva

MANILA -- Sy-led BDO Unibank Inc. (BDO) on Monday reported a seven percent jump in net income in 2017 to PHP28.1 billion, boosted by growth across all business segments. In a disclosure with the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), the bank said improvements in all its businesses matched the financial institution’s earnings guidance for last year. “Excluding consolidation effects of the life insurance business, however, this represented a strong 15 percent jump in core earnings on the back of solid growth in loans, low-cost deposits and fee-income,” it said.

Technology in Education By Patricia Ann D. Madaje

Technology revolves the power of knowledge where it can be useful in different ways. We have been using technology so much in each and every domain of our lives. We could never deny that in every year, technology is getting more complex and useful in Education. In this generation, being up to date in teaching trend styles should be practice. So how will we do it? When we hear the word Technology there’s always a connotation that, it brought a negative impact for the learners. So this perspective must be vanished for all we know even students nowadays seems comfortable in using technology and relying as an easy source in learning. Technology remains key

to the way instructions are delivered and constructed. We never limit learners to learn but involve them positively and independently. As teachers, we need to strengthen the growth of learning of a child with the aid of technology for him to be equipped in the world of work. That’s how the millennials learn now, even using technology is a one way factor of learning. Second, in involving technology it gives a higher impact of good social skills and boost their self-confidence as a person. Like, simply having a conversation, sharing ideas and presenting their skills is one way to address their thoughts. Also, they are keener in the use of language and terminologies since they are good at browsing the Internet. Third, if our students are noisy then let them be, it’s

one way of learning that they need to be vocal so that they can express rightly their thoughts but teachers must ensure that we are the equilibrium of the classroom, there should be a room for enjoyment and learning. Their potential is endless, they will not know if they will not do it. Again, never limit learners to learn and engage in class. We are their guides to facilitate them to progress what they had learned. In other words let them think outside the box so that they can be creative and mindful in making decision. Due to the uniqueness and complexity of the millennial environment, individuals can develop expertise or abilities for a specific endeavor as long as they have a framework within which to operate using organizational ideas.

This gives a hint to teachers that interaction must be relevant in learning process. We need to ignite the passion within us where we can attack in a way they learn or how millennials enjoy learning. The reason of adding k-12 in the curriculum is to produce a critical thinkers as they leave as a senior high school students they will be ready to the world. This is why we don’t close a gap to our students but we are a working progress to innovate and teach in adapting technology based learning. Let’s together appreciate of what type of learner we had today because real teachers don’t give up on students and that’s how our journey starts within our life to be involved in millennial way of Education.

How will artificial intelligence affect employment and education? By RODEL CABARIBAN ESTENZO Head Teacher III Agusan Elementary School

IF artificial intelligence turns out to be as powerful, won’t it be good at finding new nonobvious tasks for humans and also train them for these new occupations? Long before we cross such a science fiction threshold however, we are beginning to see how technology will improve employment opportunities. Nevertheless, it’s undoubtedly true that AI and other technologies will in fact make some jobs perhaps many obsolete. But we are starting to build the institutions needed to fill today’s jobs and mitigate future displacement. Yes, some jobs will be eliminated as part of this

But the more pressing threat is that the country is woefully unprepared to equip individuals with the sills required to fill millions of jobs that will either be created or already exist but will evolve. K-12 graduates will need multiple pathways to careers, not just college. Career and technical education becomes a chute, an off-ramp for students who are not succeeding in traditional education.

Islamic leaders nix ‘internationalization’ of Holy Sites in Saudi DAVAO CITY -- Muslim leaders and Islamic organizations in Mindanao are opposing the proposed internationalization of two Holy Mosques in Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. This opposition will be

expressed in a manifesto that no country or nation should intervene in the management of the Holy Sites except the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Davao City Madrasah Development Program ex-

ecutive director Alim Jamal said he believes that the proposed “internationalization” of the management of the two grand mosques in Mecca and Medina is being influenced by Iran See leaders, page 9

Police acquire new cars worth P 57-M DAVAO CITY -- Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa expects an effective and efficient police as he turned over new vehicles worth PHP57 million to the Police Regional Office (PRO) XI on Monday at Camp Catitipan here. “With the turnover of these vehicles to the different police units in PRO XI, I now expect the Davao police to further improve its mobility which is a crucial factor in the conduct of efficient and effective police operations particularly in rendering timely police response to incidents and calls for assistance from the citizenry,” Dela Rosa said in his speech. Dela Rosa said the new cars will also enable police to augment the mobility in search and rescue operations during disasters and calamities. The PNP chief also thanked the local government and the community

who continued to support the PNP particularly the Davao police in its continuing campaign for peace and order. “Improved mobility is vital to our continuing peace and order campaign particularly when we are back in the campaign against drugs and strengthening forces against crime, insurgency and terrorism,” he stressed. “This will complement our effort, enhance our move, shoot, communicate and investigate functions which are all parts of the PNP in patrolling efficient and credible police force,” he added. Dela Rosa also encouraged the personnel of PRO XI to serve and inspire, render duties with a dedication to local governments are doing everything to help police bring services to a high-level performance. He expects regional police to be mindful in the supplementary guidelines in the conduct of campaign

against illegal drugs. Chief Insp. Andrea Dela Cerna, spokesperson for PRO XI, said the newly acquired vehicles were 23 units of Toyota Hi-Lux, 44 units motorcycle and 3 units of Man Truck. Dela Cerna said six Hilux vehicles will be deployed to Davao Occidental Police Provincial Office, nine to Davao del Sur, one to Davao del Norte, three to Compostela Valley and two to the Regional Force Mobile Battalion (RMFB).

Thumbs up for success. 17 residents from Brgy. 76-A Davao City have successfully completed the Project B.E.S.T. or Basic Electrician Skills Training of Davao Light and Power Co., which is in partnership with the Aboitiz Foundation, TESDA XI, and Brarangay 76-A.

ComVal’s peace and order situation prevents entry of investors – DTI DAVAO CITY -- The peace and order situation in Compostela Valley has made businesses wary of investing in the province, an official of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) 11 said Monday. In an interview, DTIComVal provincial director Lawyer Siegfred M. Balleque said the province needs to improve its peace and order situation if it wants to become a prime investment destination in Davao Region and realize its full economic potential. “In Comval, there is NPA problem. That’s one of the challenges that we hope the government will solve. Peace and order is one of the factors that are being considered by the investor,” he said. Balleque added investors would want to make sure to sustain their businesses and recover investments but added the insurgency problem in the province would make them wary of entering the province. But he said they continue

to promote the province’s potentials such as agribusiness, tourism, aquaculture and “green mining” through the staging of a biennial Comval Business and Investment Conference (Biz-Con). He said around 350 investors and sellers are expected to participate in Biz-Con on March 5, a gathering of industry players that share common interests, exchange new information and experiences. It also serves as a strategic avenue to learn best practices. This year’s conference will highlight aquaculture, banana, cacao, coffee, tourism, and green mining. Themed “Enriching the growing business and investment opportunities in Comval,” Balleque said the program is “an investment promotions strategy of the province primarily to promote potential investment areas that are gaining ground and are continuously providing jobs and income for the community.” See prevents, page 9

Residents of Brgy. 76-A graduate in Davao Light’s Project B.E.S.T.

Davao Light and Power Co., Inc. welcomed 17 new certified electricians from Brgy. 76-A, Davao City after completing the Project Basic Electrician Skills Training or B.E.S.T. of the electric utility. Davao Light’s Project B.E.S.T., which is in partnership with the Aboitiz Foundation and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) XI, is a community-based training that aims to provide opportunity for beneficiaries especially the out-of-school youth to become TESDA certified electricians and prepare them for livelihood. The project also aims to create a pool of certified electricians in baran-

gays whom they can easily call for their electrical or wiring needs. “In exchange of the free training, all you need to do is to be the best that you can be. That’s already enough for us. You prove to the community that you can be the best because we strongly believe in the potential that you all have. Congratulations to all of you and thank you to the Aboitiz Group, TESDA and the barangay for making this happen.” said Congressman Jericho “Koko” Jonas B. Nograles in his speech during the commencement day held at the SIR Phase 1 Covered Court in Brgy. 76-A, Davao City last February 15, 2018.

The graduates received a Certificate of Completion from TESDA and they also received starter kits from Davao Light to help them in their work. “One thing that we are very proud about this project is that this would create opportunities for our fellowmen as this could be their new means of livelihood. This will also meet the increasing demand of skillful electricians brought about by the constant growth of the power industry.” said Engr. Rodger S. Velasco, Davao Light’s EVP and COO.

and Qatar. “This idea has been brought before by Iran and revived by Qatar which somehow appears it is politically motivated,” Jamal said. Jamal said the two countries have no right to take the management rights of the two grand mosques because of its religious background that Prophet Mohammad said in their doctrines. He said a war may arise if these countries insisted on its management. “Sabi po ng foreign minister ng Saudi Arabia (The foreign minister of Saudi Arabia said), it is a declaration of war. So what will happen if this will take place,” he said. Davao Region Grand Mufti Mohammad Pasigan said the Muslim leaders already signed a manifesto sending it to the embassies in Manila expressing their opposition during their conference in Manila. Pasigan called other Muslim groups in the Philippines to unite against the “internationalization”of the holy sites. For his part, Bangsamoro Non-Muslim affairs executive director Abdulhadi Gumander said Saudi Arabia is the only country that has the right to the two sites since these are part of their territory. Gumander said intervening within the territory of a certain country is a form of mockery to their constitution. “This may cause chaos and problems in terms of international relations,” he said. Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM)) Grand Mufti Abdulkhair Tarason said they are worried that if the internationalization will push through, these two Holy Mosques might be mismanaged. “ These two Grand Mosques were managed and maintained well by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” he said. Tarason said he and the other leaders will stand firm on their faith that their religious places will not be interfered by other nations just because they are claiming as Muslims.

He added they are staging the second Biz-con in order to sustain the investment promotion efforts that have been done in the province. Aside from the conference, a one-day plenary session on various opportunities, industry trends and status and market and financing facilitation, there will also be market matching and trade fair exhibit. The market matching is a meeting of suppliers and buyers to facilitate arrangements for possible future supply of the prospective markets while the exhibit

showcases the province’s premier processed products.

Ecozone in Maco Balleque said they are eyeing to build a 60-hectare industrial economic zone in Maco townto boost the potentials of the province, considering their export agricultural produce and efforts to attract investors. He said the facility can be built near the Maco Port, which can be developed into an international port as a requirement for economic zones. “It’s very important because if we have an economic zone, the locators will be given incentives – PEZA (Philippine Economic Zone Authority) incentives. We need a port so it is easy for investors especially export companies to export their products,” he explained. He said it will be run either by government or a private firm. A PEZA-accredited area enjoys income tax holidays for four to six years as well as non-fiscal incentives. Non-fiscal incentives include simplified importexport procedures; employment of non-resident foreign nationals in supervisory, technical or advisory positions; and special non-immigrant visa with multiple entry privileges for nonresident foreign nationals that include investors, officers, and employees in supervisory, technical or advisory position, and their spouses and unmarried children under 21 years of age. Balleque said they have already talked with private developers who might be interested to invest in the economic zone. One of them is a Lucio Tan-led company that plans to build a distillery in their vast land in Maco. He said they hope to realize the project in five years. (Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews)

Balutan said the lottery systems and technology upgrade would also enhance the capability of the more than 10,000 lotto outlets nationwide supervised by PCSO. “We’ve to have state-ofthe-art systems and technology for our lottery games,” Balutan stressed. He also pointed out that the bidding would be the first ever in the history of PCSO. “Because previously, it was just an ELA, merely equipment lease agreement. There was no bidding done when they were tapped in 1996. Their (PGMC and POSC) ELAs will terminate by July and August this year, respectively,” Balutan said. “Through this bidding, we can upgrade the quality of the system and equipment and games so that our nationwide lotto system can be modernized, because we have fallen behind with the lotto systems in other countries,” Balutan added.

DAR introduces animal waste for fuel MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte – Farming communities in Southern Leyte have stopped using expensive fuel in cooking after the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) introduced the community-managed potable water and sanitation hygiene (CPWASH) project. The project will directly benefit the residents of three remote villages in the City of Maasin and the towns of Hinunangan and Tomas Opus. No one in these villages ever thought that the wastes of their pigs can be transformed into an alternative fuel. Virginia Dueñas, one of the recipients of the project in Barangay Hantag, Maasin City, said they no longer use firewood or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) in cooking after the project was introduced to them by DAR. “We no longer buy LPG. Now that we have our own cooking gas, we save around P700 a month,” said Dueñas. Their income likewise has increased as they now raise more pigs to have sufficient organic wastes that would be turned into fuel. DAR project coordinator Julius Monge said the CPWASH project is made up of a rainwater collector,

Alexander Balutan PCSO General Manager

an iron removal filter, biosand filters and one biogas digester. “This a new approach to delivering water, energy, health, and sanitation in the countryside by using available resources in the community. We trained the members of the three communities how to construct and maintain the bio-sand filters and iron removal filters to make water from deep wells potable,” Monge said. According to Monge, part and parcel of the project is the biogas digester, a sanitation facility that is capable of converting animal and human waste into cooking gas similar to the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)—an end-product that is viewed as a come-on for villagers to put up their own toilets with the digester serving as septic tank. “ The animal wastes are fed and collected in the biogas digester that in turn, produce methane gas through anaerobic digestion,” explains Monge. The CPWASH was conceptualized by DAR to install low-cost water supply technology and sanitation systems for safe, clean and potable water supply for farmers and their families in the community.

PROMOTING THE IMPORTANCE OF GROWING TREES: Miss Earth 2017 Karen Ibasco (3-L) together with the Ms. Earth Philippines winners join the environmental conservation efforts of energy-firm STEAG State Power Inc. (SPI) by participating in a tree-growing activity held at the mini forest area of Steag’s power plant in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental. SPI Power Plant Manager Dr. Carsten Evers (r) led SPI employees in welcoming the visiting young environmental ambassadress to the power plant. The event is a welcome boost to the company’s ecological conservation efforts. Since 2005, Steag had planted more than 428,000 trees through its 1,200-hectare Mapawa carbon sink in Cagayan de Oro City and the 1,000-hectare Tagoloan and Villanueva urban forestry projects in Misamis OrientaL. Steag’s goal is to grow at least 1.2 million trees by 2031. With Ms. Ibasco are Nellza Bautista (Miss Philippines Earth-Fire), Kim de Guzman (Miss Philippines Earth- Air), Vanessa Mae Castillo (Miss Philippines Earth Eco-tourism), and Jessica Marasigan (Miss Philippines Earth- Water). photo supplied

PCSO confident of lottery tech systems upgrade P h i l i pp i n e C h a r i t y Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) General Manager Alexander Balutan on Monday said the agency is confident it can bid out this year the P10.906 billion Nationwide Online Lottery System (NOLS) project to upgrade the more than 20-year-old equipment being used for the Lotto games draws by a provider. Balutan said the bidding for the project was stalled since last year by court cases filed by the Philip-

pine Gaming Management Corp. (PGMC), a Malaysiancontrolled firm, but he said there’s a “light at the end of the tunnel” after the provider expressed to cooperate. “I’ve been informed that PGMC will withdraw all their cases in the courts, also at the request of the PCSO so that we can proceed with the bidding for the NOLS,” Balutan said. The project aims for centralized technology systems for PCSO’s lottery games draws for Luzon, Visayas,

and Mindanao. At present, PGMC is the service provider for Luzon, while the Pacific Online Systems Corp. (POSC) conducts draws for Visayas and Mindanao. Both firms are listed in the Philippines Stock Exchange (PSE). But their Equipment Lease Agreements (ELAs) are going to expire in the middle of this year. In July 2017, Presiding Judge Maximo de Leon of the Makati City Regional Trial Court, Branch 143

granted temporary restraining order (TRO) in favor of PGMC against the NOLS bidding participated by at least 17 firms who bought bid documents. The court action dismayed the officials and employees of PCSO because they said the state-of-the-art lottery systems would give wider market share that will guarantee government funds and that cost cheaper than the current lottery lease system.
