Council for mental health eyed in Oro CAGAYAN de Oro City-”The law requires the creation of a local mental health council,” said Dr. Ramon Moreno of the Northern Mindanao Medical Center, a government-run hospital located in the city. “It is mandated by law to create the council,” Moreno pointed out as a study group started to craft the proposed Mental Health Ordinance. If the council is functional, and would need an area for meetings, the mental health office can be utilized for planning, strategizing, and formulating policies

for the purpose, he added. Mike Fabello of the City Social Welfare and Development Department assured that he will make a follow-up on the creation of a mental health council, while the study group is crafting the proposed ordinance. Councilor Maria Lourdes Gaane, chair of the City Council committee on health, and C ouncilor Joyleen Mercedes Balaba, chair of the City Council committee on social services, reiterated that comments and suggestions of See COUNCIL, page 11

Mindanao’s 2019 growth seen at 7.2%

By ANTONIO L. COLINA IV, MindaNews

AVAO C I T Y – Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) assistant secretary Romeo Montenegro said Mindanao’s economy is projected to grow by 7.2% in 2019 pending completion of data for the year, slightly higher compared to the growth attained in 2018 at 7.1%. Speaking during “Wednesdays at Habi at Kape,” Montenegro said the six Mindanao regions (Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern

Mindanao, Davao Region, Soccsksargen, Caraga, and Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) are expected to outperform the overall national gross domestic product estimated at 6% within the government’s revised target of 6 to 6.5%. Montenegro said the robust performance of Mindanao, which owed its sustained “expansion of services, industry and agrifisheries sectors,” managed to “demonstrate uninter-

rupted” growth in nearly two decades since 2001 despite being confronted with major challenges, including power crisis from 2011 to 2015 and a lack of vital infrastructure projects. From 2010 to 2019, he said the average economic growth of the island was recorded at 6.6% higher than the national average of 6.2% even though it suffered from rotating brownouts due to the deficit in the power supply in the early part of this decade. “Despite that, the overall Mindanao economy has

Vlogging beyond virtual viewpoints By: JOEY MARIE S. REVELO Secondary School Teacher III Ozamiz City National High School

The digital world we immerse ourselves nowadays offers a lot of benefits. It comes from all corners of the web; in forms of posting, tweeting, blogging, and the new trend, vlogging. Vlog g ing refers to “video blogging”. It is is the daily practice of capturing and sharing vlogs characteristically featuring a vlogger shooting himself at arm’s length throughout their everyday activities. Vlogs are captured on for the same reasons

blogs do—it give people an outlet for his passions, expertise, and personalities. Furthermore, the vlog help foster deeper and more personal connections between the vlogger and audience. Blogging.com stated that there are a lot more benefits that a vlogger gains in vlogging. A person’s speaking skills are likely to improve as the vlogger continues to talk in order to reach out to his viewers. Moreover, vlogging

helps a person earn a living. The Vloggergear.com has clarified that the more content a vlogger posts, the more money comes to his/her pocket. Making money from vlogging is easier with more videos because the vlogger will have more content resulting to more views, building one’s subscriber count and generating an income. “Vlogging can be very powerful. It can be a form of self-expression. If you have great content and plenty of people are watching your vlogs, it could also be a formula to earn money online,’’ stated Alex

DILG 10 preps service continuity plan in case of disruptions, disasters C AGAYAN de Oro City --To ensure continuous deliver y of ser vices to the public amidst any disruption such as disasters, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Region 10 crafted its Public Service Continuity Plan (PCSP) which contains sets of strategies and mechanisms of the Regional Office in case of emergencies. Said PCSP further aims to minimize damage and loss to critical processes by protecting essential facilities and resources, as well as ensure succession if agency leadership is disrupted. “DILG 10 wanted to step up with our preparations especially when it comes to possible disruptions, may it be human-induced or natural hazards, because we aim to continue with the performance of our essential functions despite

these events,” said DILG 10 Regional Director Arnel M. Agabe. Despite the need to continue with essential functions of the Department, the Regional Director emphasized that the safety of employees is also highly considered, thus, the need for a more effective, efficient, and feasible continuity plan. With these, personnel from DILG 10 Regional Office underwent said planning on January 7, while DILG Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro City were scheduled on January 9. The schedule for the remaining field operating units are as follows: DILG Bukidnon – January 1617, 2020; DILG Misamis Occidental – January 2122, 2020; DILG Lanao del Norte and Iligan City – January 23-24, 2020; and DILG Camiguin – January 27-28, 2020 Among others, DILG pledges to the attain-

Take-off and landing are the most dangerous phases in flight Everytime you board a plane your life depends on the pilot and his or her first officer or vice versa . While Divisional of Sales & Marketing for the Hilton Worldwide in starting the mid-90s based in Hong Kong but was practically on the road which required me to travel all over the world attending trade events or meeting clients . I had experience a lot incidents from cross-wind to bird strike and my own angina attack 36,000ft enroute to the US. Every time I disembark I always make it a point thank the crew for a smooth and safe flight which to this day I still practice. The most dangerous

phase in a flight is not during cruise, it is during takeoff and landing, when the aircraft’s proximity to the ground is close and the airplane is flying slow. During these phases, pilots give their 101% attention to the whole situation. The cabin crew on the other hand concentrate on the move of the aircraft so incase of an emergency, they know right away what to do. Most fatal crashes also happen during the take-off and landing phase. In a study by Boeing, 49% of all fatal crashes from 1959 to this date occurred during final approach. Take-off and starting to climb accounts for 14%.

This is why airline crew are very strict when it comes to following every bit of safety instruction like keeping seatbelts on, keeping window shades up, and so on. In fact, successful landings are considered by pilots as “controlled crashes”. Why are these the most dangerous phase in a flight? Anything can happen during these phases like bird strikes, engines injesting runway debris, landing gear problems, crosswinds, mid-air collisions, and so on. In fact, as the aircraft comes closer to the ground, the more they are also closer to other aircraft moving at almost the same speed rather than at cruising alti-

Airplanes love to fly, and they are designed to fly that sometimes, it can get tricky making them stop especially in the presence of unpredictable winds and slippery runways. Only 11% of fatal accidents happen during cruise level and this accounts for 57% of the flight phase

Letters from Davao

Intimidating Digong HAD it not been for the tinderbox situational condition in Iran and the fury of Taal the classic quotes by Leni Robredo would have hugged the headlines and be another example of absurdity and incoherence that had been the hallmark of the Vice President of the Philippines. I could have just dismissed the latest of her verbal menu, mathematical formula, and unique gender-cognitive skill but we have to tell the world that our lawyers or past VPs for that matter, are not in the same plain as the incumbent. How can one not ponder and wonder when VP Leni asserts that P4 x 10 kilos of rice per family x 4 weeks = P1,600 to point out how a family of four is affected by the escalation

of the price of rice. Or, her classic positivism “my daughters are all girls”. Ms. Leni Robredo first media interview for 2020 had something to do with her report on the government’s drug war. Recall that when Pres. Rodrigo Duterte appointed her to co-chair the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-illegal Drugs her first act was to consult the US Embassy officials anti-narcotics and security officials before she sat down with ICAD officials. She had earlier asserted that the drug campaign of Duterte was a failure. Taking her statement with a grain of salt the President named her co-chair of ICAD allowing her to prove that she might have a strategy on how to deal with the drug problems besetting the country which

is not in the books of the country’s anti-illegal drugs enforcement agencies. Hardly a week elapsed after her appointment however, the VP suggested to adopt the Mexican approach to dealing with drug syndicates and maintained her view that the war on drugs in the Philippines is a failure. For Duterte and his anti-drugs lieutenants, Robredo had nothing to contribute to the drug campaign but snooping at the government operations against drugs. Mexico’s “hugs not bullets” strategy was actually a euphemism to its government’s surrender to the drug cartel. Robredo’s assignment was then cut short. Like a woman scorned she hit back at Duterte and threatened that she will come out with a report that

Jun Ledesma

purports to explain why the government war on drugs is a failure. “The war against drugs is lopsided in favor of the law enforcers?” This was to be the most earth-shaking statement of the new year. It was part of the opening statements of Vice Pres. Robredo when she made public her long-delayed report on what she gathered during her brief stint with ICAD. She was given hypothetical figures in determining the potential total volume of drugs that drug-dependents could use and she obviously

Hints and Traces

The priest as mediator

We have to understand well the role of a mediator. He is like a bridge that connects two ends. A perfect mediator is one where he is both in the one end as in the other. He just cannot be in one end but not in the other, though he may orient or dispose himself to the other without reaching it. Christ is a mediator between God and man. In fact, he is the sole perfect mediator because he is both God and man. St. Paul testified to this truth of our faith. He said, “There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Tim 2, 5) Christ is the perfect mediator because he is not only God but is also man.

And he is not only man, but also God. As the Athanasian Creed would put it, Christ is “perfect God and perfect man.” He is not half God and half man. The two natures, divine and human, are together in him inseparably without diluting each other. He is not a ‘mestizo.’ This truth of our faith is, of course, a mystery. We cannot fully understand it. But we believe it because Christ said so and this is what the Church now teaches. “I and the Father are one,” Christ said at one time, pointing to his divinity. (Jn 10, 30) As to his humanity, St. Paul said these relevant words: “When the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to re-

deem those under the law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.” (Gal 4, 4-5) Only a man could be “born under the law.” This little explanation about the mediator is important and relevant because we, as human persons, patterned after Christ, have to learn the ways of a mediator. Of course, of all men and women, the priests are especially meant to be mediators, because they are at the forefront of the task of reconciling men with God. With the sacrament of Holy Orders, they are configured to Christ, head of the Church, and participate in Christ’s task of mediation in a very intimate way. That is why priests, of all men and women, have to be

Roy Cimagala

particularly adept in this art of mediation. While they are already sacramentally configured to Christ as head of the Church, they have the special, albeit very demanding, duty of truly assuming the mind and heart of Christ. If everyone is meant to be “another Christ,” the priests have to be particularly so. They have to lead the way. This can mean many things. Their mind and heart should be both on heaven even as they are on earth. They should exude the See MEDIATOR, page 11

Sitio Sabangan starts 2020 with repurposed daycare center

ANOLO FORTICH, Bukidnon --In Sitio Lower Sabangan in the town of Manolo Fortich, the only school facility that once stood was a small one-room Day Care Center. While the center is able to provide basic education to its young students, both space and the limited resources can only cater to just a few numbers of learners. With the unpredictable weather in Bukidnon nowadays, Purok leader Judith Amoncio worries that heavy

rainfall would affect classes. “Because the Day Care is mainly made out of bamboo, rainwater gets into the room when the wind is strong so classes may get canceled,” Amoncio said. A few meters from the old Day Care Center, however, now stands a fully furnished container van to serve as Sitio Sabangan’s new Day Care Center. The repurposed facility came with tables and chairs, as well as books and other learning materials. A comfort room and washing area are also provided by

the container van-turneddaycare center. During the turnover of the P700,000-worth school facility, Manolo Fortich Mayor Clive Quiño expressed his gratitude to Hedcor for the project. “It has been the Municipality’s and Hedcor’s goal that as much as possible we bring to the communities their very basic needs, one of which is education,” shared Quiño who regarded Hedcor as their ‘partner for progress.’ “My heartfelt thank goes to Hedcor, as always.

Bongbong kickstarts Tulong Taal relief ops Former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Friday started his planned relief operations for the evacuees of Taal Volcano in the town of Tuy in Batangas. Marcos, a long w it h supporters from Tulong Taal and Tuy LGU officials, distributed relief packs to more than 1,500 e v a c u e e s l o c ate d i n 7 Barangays of the town. He visited Barangays

Luntal, Lumbangan, Talon, Palincaro, Malibu, Dao, and Guinhawa with Mayor Armando Afable and Vice Mayor Jose Jecerell Cerrado. The packs contained an N95 face mask, instant noodles, bottled water, bl an ke t , and p e rs ona l hygiene kits. Marcos also donated excess clothing articles to each Barangay. “ T h e g ov e r n m e nt’s response to the crisis has

been very good. However, we wanted to focus on t hos e w ho volunt ar i ly left and are staying in evacuation sites that have received insufficient assistance,” Marcos said. Tuy officials also said that the evacuees in their sites hail from the towns of Lemery, Agoncillo and Taal who were forced to vacate their homes. “Please use the N95 masks, especially on your

children because the air quality in the surrounding areas of Taal has not fully returned to normal. We may not see it, but fine particles may still be present and trigger t heir ast hma,” Marcos added. PHIVOLCS still maint ai ns a l e r t l e ve l 4 for Ta a l Vo l c a n o.

Teacher as Second Parent By LANE CORA D. MAGPALE, Teacher III Bongbong Elementary School Bongbong, Ozamiz City

THE best teacher sees her students as a continuum of oneself. She is someone who has personified this for me. There are times when I think my mannerism matches her personality more than my own mother, treats her students like her own children and watches out for them, making sure they always do their best. Teachers are like second parents. For 13 years, they shape our minds and help us to recognize our talents and goals. To some teachers, it is nothing but a job that pays the bills. But to others, it is their life. Between junior and senior high school, I have had 36 different teachers.

Some people believe that the teachers’ primary role is to teach children to behave and to judge what is right and wrong. But on the other hand, teachers play the role of second parents to the pupils. It is they who correct the pupils if something went wrong like what they do on their own children. The teachers also play a significant role in shaping the life of the pupils under their care. Talking to a pupil can help a teacher understand a pupil’s life situation better. Teacher as a second parent will always support their pupils by giving them proper guidance.

8 NPA rebels yield in Surigao Sur By ALEXANDER LOPEZ, PNA

Talaingod and Kapalong in Davao del Norte, Davao de Oro and Arakan town, North Cotabato. Davao del Norte Gov. Edwin Jubahib, who moved for Haran’s closure, said the IPs inside the facility are being exploited by the communist rebel movement for “various terroristic activities.” Davao Oriental Gov. Nelson Dayanghirang, RPOC11 chairperson, accused the center of violating the Indigenous People’s Rights Act, as well as of committing child abuse and serious illegal detention offenses

while engaging in human trafficking. “We are urging the concerned agencies to file appropriate charges for we want it to be closed as soon as possible,” Dayanghirang said. Dayanghirang believes that the IPs inside the center are being manipulated and exploited, and that closing the facility would mean freedom for tribe members allegedly being locked inside it. In an interview on Thursday, however, UCCP Mindanao Bishop Hamuel Teguis denied they are violating any law, insisting that the church property is being

used as a sanctuary for the homeless and those who wanted shelter. “We do not prevent them from going home. Our point is there must be peace, safety guarantees, and food in their communities when they go home,” Teguis added. Jong Monzon, a tribal leader who is residing inside Haran declined to comment, saying he has yet to a copy of the said resolution. “We are surprised and shock of the news.

Reaching out to out-of-school youth By JUANEL C. BAGUIO Teacher III Alternative Learning System East II District Division of Gingoog City

THERE’s something fulfilling to the heart of a teacher if he or she reaches out to out-ofschool children. Even though basic education in the Philippines is free f rom kindergar ten to senior high school, there are still some children who opt out of school because they simply don’t have baon or can’t afford to pay assorted miscellaneous fees such as uniforms, bags and notebooks perhaps. Here in the country,

we abound with various civic-minded groups who are engaged in helping out-of-school youth through tutorials. These are mostly targeted to school-age children who are h e s it ant t o e n ro l in ALS or Alternative Learning System because they are too shy. So they attend what are so-called street tutorials where Education students from universities and colleges in the locality reach out to the streets to teach the children basics in

mat he mat i c s, s c i e nc e and even English, the global language. These tutorials are also alternately called “r e a d i n g o n w h e e l s” since volunteers carr y with them voluminous b o ok s to re a d out to the students. Most of these reading materials are donated. It’s basically bayanihan at work and that’s good. After all, each child has the right to be literate even when he or she is not in school.

Government declares “No Man’s Land in Volcano Island” By MDN Digital News Team

MANILA, Philippines - The government has declared a very strict imposition of “no man’s land in the volcano island” following the continued threat of a worst and biggest eruption of Taal volcano - even as it seems it rested now. The town of Agoncillo in Batangas has also become a ‘ghost town’ as a result of massive evacuation this week of its residents.

The town has also become all gray in color, with tons of ashfall covering vast of lands, houses, and the vast agricultural crops. President Rodrigo Duterte approved the recommendation of “no man’s land policy in the volcano island” made by the Philippine Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) as the department headed by Director Renato Solidum

fears Taal volcano would erupt again - and this time it would be big and worst than on Sunday’s (January 12) eruption. The government has already imposed lock down on most towns covered under the 14 kilometer radius danger zone - and if the worst scenario would eventually happen and the alert level is raised to 5, it would even include the towns under 17 kilometer radius. 2 dead; 80,000 evacuated

Meanwhile, in the latest report made by the Batangas Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (BPDRRMO), it reported that at least two people died of cardiac arrest while they are in the midst of looking for safer grounds during the Sunday’s eruption of Taal volcano. The BPDRRMO report identified those who died as 65-year-old Anatalia Perez Dionisio, a resident of SamSee DECLARES, page 10

this issue and later on, we will release our statement,” Monzon added. Closure preparations With the proposed closure of the UCCP-Haran Center, various government agencies have outlined assistance for the displaced IPs. Department of Social Welfare and Development-11 Director Grace Subong said the agency can provide alternative shelter for the evacuees and other social protection mechanisms. “DSWD has programs in place to address their needs and we assure that we will provide centers to accommodate them,” Subong said. Brig. Gen. Filmore Escobal, director of Police Regional Office-11 (PRO 11), said he also supports Haran’s closure, saying the center has violated various laws. “I am urging the concerned agencies to help us file complaints against the persons behind this institution,” Escobal said.

Maj. Gen. Jose Faustino, commander of 10th Infantry Division, said they will help transport evacuees back to their communities should their tribal leaders request for it. Davao de Oro Gov. Jayvee Tyron Uy also assured to provide livelihood and other forms of assistance for the IPs should they decide to return home. Meanwhile, Jubahib said he has already coordinated with local government units in Davao del Norte to prepare the needed assistance for the evacuees when they return to their villages. Of the 400 individuals living in the Haran Center, more than 200 are children. (PNA)

With the rise of computers and robots, collectively automations, the process of manual workers have been decreased to a great extent.

have been carried out by humans for so long. AI is capable of immersing itself to dangerous tasks and adjust their parameters such as their speed and time and be made to act quickly, unaffected by factors that affect humans. When AI develops even further in the future, human workers will manage AI workers rather than perform all the manual works themselves. This could increase productivity and output with less and less time required of a human worker. In essence, workers will produce more in less time. It sounds so better than before but how would it appear in the ears of those at risk for unemployment as AI takes over their jobs? Losing your job to a human is already offending but losing it because of machines? One would feel complete helplessness. We can say that we can apply as

operators of the automation but are the machines enough to the number of employees who are prone to unemployment? The ultimate impact of AI to human workforce strikes the growth and stagnation of our economy as well. Employment rates have been the driving force behind our economic advancement and just by the introduction of AI, many would end unemployed. And this is one of the primary downfalls if we let Artificial Intelligence dominate. We would certainly need to address the elimination of jobs by automation with compassion and the creation of new opportunities. But while those jobs won’t come back, I believe that the economic growth fuelled by AI will actually open and increase new jobs in the future that will compensate the loss of the former employees.

paloc Village, Talisay town; and a certain Danilo Toledo, 27, of Barangay Laguile, Taal town. Dionesio died on Monday while Toledo also died the following day. A top official of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Joint Task Force Taal told reporters there are now 82,000 or 18,664 families who were evacuated at different evacuation centers established by the national and local governments. Tension at evac centers Tension also gripped at some evacuation centers after a total lock down is imposed by the government and closely implemented by the PNP and AFP - as some of the evacuees wanted to go home for fear their pets and other livestok animals would suffer from illnesses as they have not eaten and taken cared of since evacuation started this week. One of the evacuees lied down at the soil ground in front of evacuation center as a show of protest to the recent imposition of “no man’s land policy,” while other evacuees aired their grievances to the media, saying they wanted to go back home to sell their pigs and get those important documents they had left at home. Already, the BFP in Calabarzon region has utilized 147 firetrucks including 531 BFP personnel and 39 emergency medical staff. Año said DILG’s field affices were also coordinating with local executives in all the affected areas to make sure that mandatory evacuation and delivery of basic necessities of evacuees are taken cared of. 600 million damage A top official of the Department of Agriculture told the media the Taal volcano eruption has already damaged nearly 600 million of crops and livestok. The damage was more on fruits and vegetables, it was learned. Silver lining The DA official said despite meseries that the Taal eruptions has brought to people, the said calamity offers a silver lining as well. He said the ash from the Taal eruption could help replenish the level of nutrient of the overused soil around the mostly affected agricultural areas. Aside from the fact, that a group has also successfully converted the collected eruption ashfall into bricks.

fragrance of heaven even as they can also have the odor of earth, just like what Pope Francis said about priests as shepherds — they have to have the smell of the sheep which they tend. Like Christ, they have to identify closely both with God and with men. Like Christ, they have to pray constantly so as to be always in touch with God whose will and ways they have to follow. Let’s remember that Christ said: “I have come down from heaven, not to do my will, but to do the will of him who sent me.” (Jn 6, 38) Like Christ, priests have to mix well with the people, adapting themselves to them all the way to assuming their sins without committing sin. In this regard, St. Paul said: “God made him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Cor 5, 21) Just imagine what practical considerations can be made from this ideal of priests as mediators like Christ!

based on a 1.5 hour flight. Take-off is also a very critical and dangerous point of a flight. Both Lion Air and Ethiopian Air Boeing 737 Max 8 crashes happened during the climb, when the sensor on the Maneuvering Characteristic Augmentation System (MCAS) allegedly malfunctioned. The US Airways “Miracle on the Hudson” water landing happened during take-off when the aircraft suffered a multiple birdstrike and both engines flamed out. During take-off, the pilot calls V1 and V2. Basically, V1 is the “commit to fly” speed, meaning, even

during an engine failure, the aircraft has to fly. It is the decision speed where there is no more stopping no matter what happens. V2 on the other hand is the speed where the airplane will climb in the event of an engine failure. This is also known as “take-off safety speed.” This is why until the pilot switches off the fasten seatbelt sign, passengers have to always be prepared for anything, even if air travel nowadays are very safe. Once the aircraft is on the climb and the aircraft suffers and engine failure, it will take some time for the pilot to land the aircraft again for an emergency. So always remember that when the flight crew gives you instructions to prepare for take-off and landing, be sure to follow them as this is actually a very dangerous phase of the flight. Never take these instructions for granted as they may mean life or death situations.

took note but sadly passed it as the real statistics. She disregarded the data on how huge the volumes of shabu had been intercepted in the course of the drug war. She also totally ignored the fact that all existing shabu laboratory in the country had been dismantled. She too paid no attention to the drug enforcement agency report that shabu is now smuggled into the country by drug rings operating worldwide. She has no record of how many drug dependents had been rescued and rehabilitated. She forgot that bigtime drug lords and their networks had been neutralized although she took note of a few collateral damages in the process. Her grade of the government campaign against illegal drugs is 1%. This is a comical contrast to the unprecedented 82% grade on the anti-drug initiatives given by the people in a nationwide survey. This despite the ‘ninja cops’ issue. The Robredo Report, therefore, is at best a contradiction. It was meant to prop the sagging image of the Liberal Party which, under her stewardship, is consigned to extinction. The political opposition has been clinging to LP and the Aquino mantra but so much fakery and decadence had been unearthed from the two Aquino regimes not even the US of A Senators can save the cabal from perdition or diminish the popularity of the Duterte government. There has been an unrelenting magma of negative propaganda waged by paid hacks that are based in America and homegrown critics funded by Filipino-Americans and the traditional destabilizers like Omidyar Network and National Endowment for Democracy.

The Gavel, a daily newsletter of the City Council, reported that those with mental health issues will be called “service users”, not “patients”. In response to the query of Councilor Balaba on the utilization of House of Hope instead of establishing a mental health office, Councilor Jocelyn Rodriguez said the proposed office will be used for counseling, treatment and after care of “service users”. “House of Hope is considered as a different level of mental health. Dili pwede didto nato ibutang kay layo man but we should have a place nga accessible sa tanan,” said Rodriguez. Dr. Doris Ann Inihao of the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) clarified that there are “service users” that can be handled in a communitybased facility. They are those who do not necessarily have to visit a psychiatrist, she explained. The proposed city men-

tal health office will serve citizens who want to inquire about mental health concerns and also avail of a psychotherapy counseling sessions and access to psychosocial care, she added. Councilor Rodriguez expressed eagerness over the realization of the project. “Sagad na nato ni, dili na nato gusto’g tigi-tigi. Mayor Moreno is also really serious of putting up a facility. We do not only cater acute patients, we also cater those who need after care,” she stressed. MENTAL HEALTH COUNCIL Dr. Ramon Moreno of NMMC said the law requires the creation of a local mental health council. “It is mandated by law to create the council,” he stressed. If the council is functional, and would need an area for meetings, the mental health office can be utilized for planning, strategizing, and formulating policies for the purpose, he added. Mike Fabello of the City Social Welfare and Development Department assured that he will make a follow-up on the creation of a mental health council, while the study group is crafting the proposed ordinance. Councilors Gaane and Balaba reiterated that comments and suggestions of the stakeholders will be incorporated in the proposed legislation.

Puerto as its PUV passed through it. Abello said they were not affected by the reported harassment but at the same time they are also open to discussion with those who opposed the public utility vehicle modernization program (PUVMP). Abello said they are now on the process of identifying those responsible for disrupting their PUV’s operation. Guro said he is willing to meet with both parties, and to sort out their differences peacefully. Guro said any complaint that is lodged to their office must undergo due process, although Orotsco may file appropriate charges if they want to. Abello said they would appreciate a meeting so

those who are still pessimistic about the PUVMP can be enlightened. They should realize that they are not only opposing Orotsco but a nationwide government program, the PUVMP, the Orotsco officer said. Abello said they want jeepney drivers and operators to visit the LTFRB-10 office so they will know the goal of the PUVMP. Despite Orotsco’s willingness for a sit-down, Abello said they will not also hesitate to file criminal charges against those who disrupted their operation, if they will do it again.

Amid the growing industry and services-based sectors, Montenegro said Mindanao “must not lose sight of the fact that key to Mindanao’s sustained economic growth rests largely in the agri sector.” Montenegro also emphasized the need to promote the industrial growth, complemented with support on “access to quality education and training skills required in the modern economy,” and creation of “more and better jobs” to improve the disposable income of families and “eventually reduce poverty incidence in the long-run.” He said the government targets to cut poverty level in Mindanao to 20 to 22% at the end of the Duterte administration from the present 35%.
