HB 8764 to boost tourism SMEs
MISAMIS ORIENTAL -- A ranking Mindanao solon has hailed the third and final reading approval of House Bill 8764 as a major amendment to the Foreign Investments Act of 1991. “As Member of the House Committee on Tourism, I supported HB 8764 because of the growth impact it can have by modernizing our tourism sector using online booking and cyberspace technologies,” Misamis Oriental secod district Rep. Juliette Uy said. Uy said HB 8764, when it becomes law, will allow foreign investors to infuse $100,000 minimum paid-in capital into small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capitalized at up to $200,000, engaged in advanced technologies, and with at least 15 direct employees. “In Misamis Oriental and nationwide, we have thousands of tourism SMEs. An investment of $100,000 which is about P5.2 million can give a tourism SME strong internet and social media presence through online bookings and offering of their services and visitor destinations,” the Misamis Oriental 2nd District solon said. “Multiply that by the tens of thousands tourism SMEs nationwide and we could very well see a tourism boom in the next few years,” Uy said. She noted that “reliable and efficient cyberspace access has long been a weakness of many tourism SMEs in the country.” “As early as now, the Department of Tourism (DOT) and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) ought to lay the groundwork for the implementation of this amendment to the Foreign Investments Act of 1991. A National Registry and Database of SMEs can be crucial, and will also dovetail with the execution of the Ease of Doing Business Act,” Uy, vice chair of the House Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship Development said.

Huge deposit of gold still buried in RP?
LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind…” (Philippians 2:1-2, the Holy Bible). -oooH U G E DE P O SI T OF GOLD STILL BURRIED IN RP? Are you one of those who believe in the fabled “Yamashita gold”---allegedly a cache of fabulous treasures rumored to have been buried in the Philippines by then Japanese Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita at the close of World War II? If so, you must be running after what appears to be a bigger reserve of gold here in this country, much, much more than this Yamashita gold! Current research works indicate that the Philippines is actually the Biblical “Ophir”, a group of islands “in front of China towards the sea, where Moluccans, Chinese and Lequios met
to trade”, which, the Bible said, was the source of the gold that King Solomon used to build the temple of God in his time. I hope this piece of information can be seriously looked into, for several practical reasons. If proved to be true, then Filipinos must be allowed to enjoy the benefit of this fabulous wealth. If proved to be false, then no one should be duped into believing it again and again. -oooMEN-TO-MEN SEX, OR WOMEN-TO-WOMEN INTERCOURSE, IS A CURSE: The Bible is definite that a homosexual relationship, whether it be male to male or female to female, is a punishment and a curse from God. This is clear from Romans 1:18, 21, 24 and 26-27, thus: “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people… “For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him… Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts
BATANG MINDANAO
to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another… “… their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men…” -oooTHE BIBLE ALSO LISTS GOD’S CURSES: On top of the curse of homosexuality, there are many other curses from God, given by Him to those who no longer listen to Him and who no longer obey His commands, enunciated under Deuteronomy 28:15-68 of the Bible. This is a continuation of the list of curses: “… Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you. “Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviv-

ing children, and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities…” -ooo“ANG TANGING DAAN”: AN EXPOSITION ON THE BENEFITS OF READING THE BIBLE: Everyone interested to know the benefits that reading the Bible gives are invited to listen to “Ang Tanging Daan” every Sunday, starting at 12 noon, over at radio station DWBL, 1242 kHz at the AM band, and also watch it at the same time (or on demand) at the following Facebook pages: “DWBL 1242 Live Streaming” (https://www. facebook.com/dwblamradiolive), “Ang Tanging Daan”, “Anak ng Diyos Kadugo Ni Kristo”, “Batas TV”, “BATAS INTERNET RADIO”, “Atty.

Learning To Play Chess WHEN I was young, I would watch my grandfather play chess with his friend whenever I visited him. I had no idea how any of the pieces actually worked, nor could I ever memorize their names no matter what language the adults used. To me, at the tender age of five, all I could remember thinking was that the carving looked pretty. A few months later, my father bought a chess set, and I started playing with the board and pieces in a way that did not match the actual rules at all. I would place the pieces anywhere I liked, and make up the rules as I went. Some adults tried to teach me how to play and failed to understand that I would either be unable to keep my attention on them, or immediately forget what they taught me once we began playing. Other adults did not know the rules like me, and could not understand the rules I made up as well. The other kids my age would try to play and we would be making new rules as we played along. Later on, around my last year of elementary and my first year of high school, I finally learned how to play. It took a long time for me to remember the rules and the names of the pieces. I soon figured it out. Before long, I was play-
ing with my grandfather. I would lose every time, but I didn’t mind. He was patient with me, and he redacted his moves to show me how I could have done better. Then, we would play again. I could never win, but we had fun. It was the process of learning and simultaneously bonding with my grandfather that made me appreciate chess more than I ever had when I was younger. I am telling this story because this is how I finally understood how I came to truly appreciate identifying as a Bangsamoro. I grew up to a family actively reminding me that I am a Bangsamoro. They would tell me, as we drove past the city plaza and walk down the streets of Cotabato City, that they had been there, on the sidewalk, rallying for the Bangsamoro liberation. Independence, they would say. It was all they, as a people, kept asking for. I was too young to understand such difficult words. I was too young to understand the true complexity of all of this. I was conditioned to follow the instructions of the experienced elders, which kept my own ignorance going for so long. It was a mark of youth; it was so easy to use a word without fully understanding the
complexity of the meaning behind it, same as how easy it is to keep a chess set to play with, despite having no knowledge of how to play it. It was a blind devotion to the more knowledgeable, by following instruction without question. I learned to love something I did not understand the same way one would love a complicated toy because it was a gift. Now, I connect to the term Bangsamoro the same way I can proudly declare that I am a Muslim woman. It is an innate identity I have come to understand and come to terms with as I grew older, molded by my parents and respected by my friends. My grandfather showing me the ropes on how to play chess was similar to how I came to understand what being a Bangsamoro really meant to me. It was multiple steps back and reevaluation, until I found the answer to a question and continued moving forward, until the next question arose. Questions like “What sets the Bangsamoro apart from Filipinos?” or “Why fight for change when the status quo has been reliable so far?” would rise from time to time. There were times I convinced myself that I was declaring blasphemous
thoughts at everything I was ever taught by asking such questions. It was as if I was committing some sort of social sin. However, instead of disregarding the questions, I would take a step back, ask those more knowledgeable than me to share their thoughts on the matter or discuss it with my peers, and then continue moving forward. By learning more about the situation, like understanding the rules of chess, I began to appreciate my identity more in the deepest parts of my heart, as well as develop a larger respect for those who have been fighting for the cause for so long. The door to Autonomy of the Bangsamoro has now been opened, and it is this passage to a new future of independence that fills me with pride and hope over the fact that change is possible. I am nineteen years old this year, and sources of the process agree that the transition will be bureaucratic. The image of ten to twenty years from now, where I, as well as any if not all of my peers today, will be the next forerunners of change, fills me with determination to work hard for my future. There’s a possibility that this process will take as long as the generation after me to catch up. It is See CHESS, page 11

DOE to Tap All Possible Resources to Assure National Energy Security TAGUIG CITY -- Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi yesterday (23 January) underscored the need to tap all available energy resources to assure the country’s energy security amidst ever growing demand during the DOE-hosted TED Talk of policy expert Mr. Michael Shellenberger on “Why We Need Nuclear Energy”. “We are technology neutral, because we want to explore all possible ways to bring affordable, secure and reliable power to Filipinos throughout the entire archipelago. I believe this is time for us to take a leap and include nuclear power into our energy mix. We wouldn’t want to wait until we are all crying for power before we actually do something,” Sec. Cusi emphasized in his opening remarks. He a l s o e x pre s s e d that Mr. Shellenberger’s views helped shed light on common misconceptions about nuclear power as he expounded on how a country like the Philippines would benefit from harnessing this energy source.

the group that started January 24 in the morning while conducting military operation. Three soldiers, belonging to the 55th and 82nd Infantry Battalions, were wounded at the start of the encounter but they are now in a stable condition. The Armed Forces has already used air assets to pound the thick forested area, where the terrorists are hiding, as it continues to pursue them. Brawner said three enemies were killed in the operation based on their intelligence report and they continue to validate it from the community. Dar is claimed by the military to be the emir of the IS-inspired group hiding in the hinterlands and the forested areas of Pagayawan and Pualas since June last year.

WHY NOT NUCLEAR: Energy family officials led by DOE Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi (center) with Mr. Michael Shellenberger at the successful conclusion of yesterday’s TED Talk on nuclear power. Also in photo (left to right) are DOE Undersecretary and NEPIO Chair Donato D. Marcos, Mr. Mark Cojuangco, DOE Senior Undersecretary Jesus Cristino P. Posadas, Assistant Secretary Gerardo D. Erguiza, Jr., and PNOC President and CEO Admiral Reuben S. Lista (ret).
During Mr. Shellenberger’s compelling presentation, he stressed that while facts point to nuclear energy as the future of safe and reliable
electricity production, the decision for the country to go nuclear must be made as a people. The talk was made possible by the DOE - Nuclear
Energy Program Implementing Organization, which has been actively evaluating the feasibility of developing a national nuclear power program.
The TED Talk was attended by members of the energy family, representatives from other government agencies, members of the academe and media.
The hearing is scheduled at 1 p.m. at the Performing Arts Theater of the University of Science and Technology Southern Philippines. “Pupunta muli tayo sa Cagayan de Oro para magsagawa ng pagdinig na naantala kamakailan dulot ng masamang panahon sa Maynila. Ginagawa natin ito para tayo na mismo ang mapalapit sa mga apektadong sektor na hindi na nila kailangang lumuwas pa,” Poe said. Poe’s panel will also tackle various measures creating extension offices of the Land Transportation Office in various areas in Mindanao and franchises of provincial broadcast stations. Poe is also scheduled to visit the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) located on Capitol Road, Cagayan de Oro City at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow. Poe supported the passage of Republic Act No. 10677 increasing the bed capacity of NMMC.
Millions of women may starve in 2019 due to TRAIN Law – CWR THE Center for Women Resources (CWR) warns that millions of women may become poorer as the second round of Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law is being implemented this year. “Women have been consistently counted as one of the poorest sectors – with an average poverty incidence rate of 22.50 percent for the past decade – even without the TRAIN Law. With the first round of TRAIN Law implemented last year, women have already complained of being in dire straits. Now with the enforcement of the second round this year, their condition will be worse,” CWR executive director Jojo Guan says. Even without the TRAIN Law, the most recent Poverty Census shows that five out of nine basic sectors in the Philippines have higher poverty incidence than the general population. These are farmers, fishermen, children, self-employed and unpaid family workers, and women. Guan has also cited the most recent data of the Philippine Statistics Authority, which revealed that the magnitude of poor population in the country stands at 21.9 million, who could not even afford to cover their basic food and non-food needs.
This means that nearly one in every five Filipinos are poor. Recently, the CWR, in partnership with Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law, and Development (APWLD), has reviewed and monitored the progress of the Philippine government in achieving the targets of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Among which is the SDG 10 on Reducing Inequalities that discusses on the situation of uneven development among Filipinos, particularly those who belong to the marginalized sectors. It also takes up how the government is addressing the pressing issues of the marginalized sectors in relation to reducing growing disparities. The result shows how rural women in povertystricken Aurora province, which recorded the highest poverty incidence rate in Central Luzon, cope during lean period due to joblessness, landlessness, and implementation of the first round of TRAIN Law. One of the stories recorded by CWR in the research is the story of Sabrina, a housewife whose husband works as fisherman and tricycle driver. To adapt to their worsening situation, Sabrina and her family practice ‘no earning, no eating’,
which means that whenever there is no earning for the day, their family would only make do of water or nothing at all: “ Mahirap m abu h ay kapag walang regular na kita; halimbawa kami, kapag walang mahuhuli o kaya panahon ng ulan, mahina ang huli, e-extra ng tricycle driver ang asawa ko. Kapag wala talagang kita, hindi na lang kami kakain tutal kaming dalawa lang naman. Ipagpapabukas na namin ang kain. Ayun, walang kita, walang kain.” CWR has also recorded other women’s woes on the high prices of rice, from Php47 to Php49 per kilo, which they could no longer afford to buy so they eat kamote or banana instead. In 2018, inflation rate has soared from 3.4 percent in January to 6.7 percent in October, the highest in the past nine years. As a result, prices of rice has overwhelmingly increased since then. “The rising prices of basic commodities and services will further sink Filipinos in deep poverty. The tax reform law only widens inequality instead of reducing it, contrary to what the Philippine government has committed to fulfill in the SGDs,” Guan adds. See WOMEN, page 7

The impacts of TRAIN Law will strike again as the second round of implementation of fuel excise tax hike is rolling out. Currently, only 22 percent or 1,951 gas stations out of 8,630 have only implemented the second round of the fuel excise tax hike. However, there are already three rounds of oil price hikes this month which amounted to an increase of PhP 3.40 per liter on diesel and PhP 2.30 per liter on gasoline. This means, oil prices are expected to increase tremendously once TRAIN is fully implemented this year. “High prices affect women since they try to manage the household budget with the increasing expenditure but with no increase in the family’s meager income. An increase in food prices cripples the poor as the bulk of their income is spent on food. Now, they have to brace themselves for the worse with the second blow of TRAIN Law,” Guan warns. “The government’s tagline of malasakit can never be felt with TRAIN Law. Pasakit is more appropriate. It is high-time to demand the government to ease the burden of the majority of poor Filipinos by repealing the TRAIN Law and by discontinuing the imposition of higher consumption taxes like fuel excise tax,” Guan concludes.

PCSO eyes mobile, text betting to boost 2019 sales up to 70%
PHILIPPINE Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) General Manager Alexander Balutan revealed on Wednesday that the agency is eyeing online, mobile or text betting to boost the 2019 sales up to 70 percent. “Meron na kaming nakasalang for approval and testing this year para makita natin ang new market. Eto kasing dati nating games, kilala na ito ng ating mga mananaya. Titignan natin ‘yung possibility ng mga bagong game proposals at iba pang sistema ng gaming. Also ‘yung computerization or online na pwede nating i-access sa ating mga cellular phones, i-o-offer na din para pwede ng tumaya online,” said Balutan. Balutan hinted that the agency’s revenues might hit plateau this year due to the roll-out of Small Town Lottery (STL) and Lotto nationwide. “Baka naisagad na natin. Baka this year, hindi na gaanong tataas. Mamaintain lang natin ‘yung P63.55 billion o umangat lang ng konti eh matindi na ‘yun. There is no possibility na ma-i-angat pa natin ang kakayahan natin. Kakalap pa tayo ng pondo through our gaming,” said Balutan. According to Roger Ramirez, manager of Product and Standard Development Department (PSDD), there are currently 16 game proposals for evaluation by the Technical Working Group (TWG) on Gaming. However, majority of these games have been found out to be lacking in certain requirements, some of them are yet to comply with the requirements, and some have been virtually denied. “ The gaming sector should re-consider and review the games because the lifeblood of PCSO is actually in the introduction of new games, considering the fact that in the past eight years, the sales of Lotto has actually plateaued,” said Ramirez. Ramirez thinks it is necessary for PCSO to really come up with new and exciting games that will generate more income. A combination of online and offline, but mostly online. “There is a marching order from the Board – from the GM himself – to expedite the processing of these games with the end in view of coming up with recommendations to the Board for the adoption of certain games. Every year, there should be at least one new game to be launched,” Ramirez added. Mobile, text betting Ramirez revealed that PCSO’s market penetration is only at 12 percent, that is why the top management should look into the
immediate adoption of the mobile text betting whereby people can place their bets to all games online. “’Di ba nung nag-P1 billion ang jackpot prize sa Ultra Lotto 6/58 ang habahaba ng pila? Can you just imagine if you can place your bets on your phones in the confines of your homes, offices, or anywhere without having to go Lotto outlets? With mobile and text betting system, I guarantee the market penetration rate will go as high up to 70 percent. I think it’s going to push our market penetration rate to the skies. It’s the fastest, most significant way to actually increase the sales,” he said. Alongside with mobile or text betting, Ramirez said the agency will also look into the registration of SIM cards to secure the bets and safety measures for minors. “Most likely, dapat, within the first semester – January to June may new game na tayo. Minamadali na ito ng Board. Siguro within the next couple of months – mga April or May meron ng ng ilo-launch,” he added. Factors to consider When evaluating game proposals, the TWG looks into the financial, legal, and technical aspects. Legal aspect is about the legality of the game – whether or not the game is legally permissible under the PCSO Charter – because not all games are covered by or within the jurisdiction of PCSO. “We are limited to lotteries. Some games belong to PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation),” clarified Ramirez. The legal aspect also tackles the mode of procurement whether or not the game proposals shall go through the bidding process, direct contracting, or other modes of procurement. Financial aspect is where the Accounting and Treasury departments look into the revenue allocation of the proposal. It should conform to the existing revenue allocation of current PCSO games. According to Ramirez, PCSO follows a certain formula on revenue allocation. While the proponents propose their own formula during the proposal, they have to agree with PCSO in consideration of the TRAIN law or prize fund tax during the negotiations and discussions. “Sometimes, these proponents are not aware of how we [PCSO] actually allocate. Whenever they do come [and give their proposals], PCSO gives them the revenue allocation to study and find out if it will match
their proposal,” he added. Work flow When submitting proposals, proponents should furnish all the legal, technical, and financial requirements/documents in 15 copies. PCSO then is given 10 working days to evaluate each proposal within which all concerned line departments have to evaluate the proposals. Should there be some need for clarifications, the line departments will request the PSDD to con-
vene and clarify issues. All proposals are welcome all year-round. It usually comes unsolicited. After 10 working days, line departments are expected to come up with an evaluation report. If there’s some clarification needed, the PSDD will call the proponent for a clarificatory conference. Likewise, if there are insufficient or incomplete documents such as Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registration or
financial statements, the proponent will be asked to complete them. Proposals should also include market feasibility, income projections (how much money are they earning), and product acceptability, among many others. Upon completion of documents, the line departments will be given another five working days to complete their evaluation. PSDD then will collate and gather all evaluations and See SALES, page 11

Ex-NPA rebel reunites with 4 children in DavOr DAVAO CITY -- A 28-yearold mother who abandoned the New People’s Army (NPA) over the weekend was finally reunited with her four children on Wednesday at the Naval Station Felix Apolinario in Panacan, this city. Mylene, whose identity was withheld for security reasons, cried when she saw her children and her mother-in-law who hugged her. Mylene surrendered to the Army’s 67th Infantry Battalion (67IB) on Sunday (January 20) following an encounter with government troops in the Davao Oriental town of Cateel. Abandoned by her comrades, she sought the help of village officials and turned herself in to the 67IB, headed by Lt. Col. Jake Obligado. Mylene said her jourFormer New People’s Army (NPA) rebel Mylene (in gray shirt) reunites with her four ney with the communist children on Wednesday at the Naval Station Felix Apolinario in Panacan, Davao City. rebellion started in 2011 (PNA photo by Lilian C Mellejor) when she joined her husband Michael as a medic for the NPA’s Guerrilla Front 25 operating between the boundaries of Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental provinces. She said she became inactive from the rebel move-
ment in 2015 so that she could raise her children. When her husband died in an encounter sometime last year, Mylene said she was again recruited to the rebel group and left her children to the care of her mother-in-law. “I was not sure who killed him. The NPA told me the government soldiers,” she said. “It was difficult. I was only a housewife and my husband only earned little from odd jobs,” she added, insisting that she and her husband joined the NPA because of the promised financial support. However, Mylene said the financial assistance only lasted for a while, and the family was soon starving in the mountains -- sometimes moving around for days with no food. Mylene said she regretted the day she left her children, saying she did not expect her children to understand her decisions. Mylene was also reunited with three other comrades, 19-year-old Rex, 18-yearold Loloy and 16-year-old Cindy -- the three were NPA regulars who surrendered

separately to the 67IB recently. Obligado said their surrender -- especially of Mylene and Cindy who were medics -- was a big loss to the NPA, which he said has been weakened with the steady stream of departures of its members in recent months. Obligado attributed the surrender of many NPA members and supporters to the government’s approach to addressing poverty in far-flung communities. “Kung military solution lang hindi namin magawa (A military solution can’t simply do it. A good wholeof-nation approach will solve the insurgency,” the Army official said in an interview on Wednesday. Obligado said Davao Oriental, for instance, has a good community support program initiated by the local government units. The provincial government, he said, has programs for health, infrastructure, disaster preparedness, education, and livelihood for rebel returnees. Davao Oriental also has a Happy Home, a facility where former rebels can access training for livelihood and other services. Since February 2017 to January 2019, Obligado said the 67IB has already received about 150 NPA surrenderers. (PNA)

PESO: A Social Response to Become a Scout in the Philippine Public Elementary School By GEMMAFE B. ASEQUIA Teacher 1 West City Central School
The study sought to determine the importance of PESO to become a scout in improving the participation rate of scouts in the four Elementary Schools in North I District, Division of Cagayan de Oro City. The respondents of the study are the learners of St. John Elementary School. It has a total population of 505 learners for school year 2018-2019. This study
utilized an Action Research Process developed by Stephen Kemmis that includes four steps: Plan, Act, Observe and Reflect. The previous scouting registration and the current scouting registration were considered as the key parameters in determining the Effects of PESO to become a scout Project. Result of the PESO to become a scout, revealed that there was a drastic increase of boy scouts and girl scouts in St. John Elementary School from 6.49 % of the registered scouts in 2017-2018 to 77.55%
in the first two months of the current year of 2018-2019. It has a difference of 71.06% of the total registered Boys Scout and Girls Scout. This further revealed that parents play a vital role in instilling in the heart of their children the scouting virtues in everyday life experience. Moreover, results from the in-depth strategy employed showed that pupils, parents and teachers acknowledged PESO as a good instrument in getting involved to scouting and has a positive effect towards the increased
in the scouting registration and promoted the values of being thrifty, independent, honest and self-motivated. Therefore, the program must be institutionalized in the North I District and eventually in the entire Division of Cagayan de Oro City.

“Walay Forever” that’s the millennial tagline we can commonly hear nowadays. The tagline pertains to the impermanence of things and order in this world. Perhaps, it is just a mindset as our coping mechanism to accept and overcome the pain of the situation we are undergoing. But why does change exist? Change is evident in our lives because we need to improve our per-
formance. Our interconnectedness required us to change because we have to adapt with our environment aligning our practices to the trend or technology. We need to experience change because we need to grow. As an individual deals with change, the transition period or phase is the hardest part. For when change take our comfort zones, we immediately hesitate to submit to the system, we complain easily and try

year, the highlighted concern is on food gardening. It aims to contribute an improved nutrition through improved food access by increasing the numbers of households, schools, and communities engaged in food gardens. However, this year’s nutrition month celebration, ECCS made another additional concept of having a unique activity to promote healthy lifestyle. This year’s celebration was spearheaded by Mrs. Judith E. Namocatcat, Teacher III of ECCS who served as overall chairman of the technical planning committee.
Other activities highlighted for the nutrition month celebration 2018 in ECCS are jingle contest, pot luck, fruit salad making/ presentation, ‘Ukoy’ cooking contest, poem contest, and urban gardening. Nutrition month is a yearly campaign held every July to create greater awareness among Filipinos on the importance of nutrition. Presidential Decree 491 or the Nutrition Act of the Philippines mandates the National Nutrition Council to lead and coordinate the nationwide campaign.
to escape from the change. As the saying goes, “if you don’t like the system, then get out from the system and never come back or if you don’t like the system make your own system or be the system on your own”. Acceptance to the new technology is a great challenge to all who are affected. On the other hand, effective scaffolding and charismatic leadership skill is very necessary for the change to succeed. It is influence against the old system (including the attitude of the people towards work.)
Is change beneficial or disadvantageous? My only stand is, if the change will bring improvement to the organization’s productivity, then change must be pursued. Good performance will always reflect to the organization and will offshoots new opportunities to the organization. Remember, nothing is permanent in this world but change. Even the climate itself is changing from time to time trying to give us back how did we care for it. So be prepare for changes.

habilitate the 13 major lakes and river system in the country which include the Lanao Lake, Lake Mainit, Nuluan Lake, Naujan Lake, Lake Sebu, Taal Lake, Laguna Lake, Cagayan River Basin, Abra River System, Agusan River Basin, Bicol River, Pmaangan River Basin and Mindanao River Basin. The project aims to restore the physical conditions of lakes, rivers and reservoirs. Also, BFAR is eyeing to enhance the fisheries and repopulate indigenous species in support to biodiversity conservation, poverty alleviation and food sufficiency. Lake Lanao as one of the major lakes in the country has a potential for fish production and socio-economic advancement embracing the recovery of Marawi City from the conflict-devastation. Saldajeno said this is a five-year fingerling dispersal project since 2018 up to 2022. This involves the stocking of Lake Lanao with tilapia fingerlings. “After Marawi siege, we distributed already two million tilapia fingerlings,” Saldajeno said. Lanao Lake has already been provided with a total of four million fingerlings amounting to two million pesos since the January 2018 dispersal. Lake Lanao will continuously receive the same number of fingerlings each year until 2020. BFAR-10 together with BFAR-ARMM have also provided the Marawi fisher folks with fishing paraphernalia such as fiberglass boats, set gill nets, spear fishing gadgets, smoke houses with the construction of Brush Park. “BFAR-10 is always committed to help Marawi fisherfolks by distributing tilapia fingerlings for free and we will also help you deliver it to the market for you to generate income,” Saldajeno said.

SSS steps up drive vs. delinquent employers in SoCot, S. Kudarat GENERAL SANTOS CITY --The Social Security System (SSS) has stepped up its monitoring and enforcement activities against around 1,800 delinquent employers in South Cotabato province and a portion of Sultan Kudarat. Suzette Purificacion, head of the SSS-Koronadal City branch, said they have launched a series of inspections on businesses and other entities that have pending delinquencies with the remittances of their workers. Purificacion said the move is in keeping with the agency’s continuing campaign for the full compliance of local employers to the Social Security Law. Records showed that only about 30 to 40 percent of the nearly 3,000 registered active employers in the area have been religiously remitting the contributions of their employees. The remaining 60 percent have recorded delinquencies and currently the subject of complaints from their workers. SSS-Koronadal City branch serves the 10 mu-
nicipalities and lone city of South Cotabato and Lutayan town in Sultan Kudarat. “Our account officers are currently conducting door-to-door inspections to properly enforce the collection of the SSS remittances of their workers,” she said at the “Kapihan sa PIA” on Wednesday. Purificacion said their teams have been also visiting establishments that employ workers who are not registered with the SSS. She said the local government units in the area have earlier submitted lists of registered businesses that have no clearances from the agency. An SSS clearance or registration is among the requirements for the renewal of business permits and registration of new businesses with the LGUs. Brendo Belmonte, branch membership services head, said the agency initially send billing letters to the delinquent employers before conducting the inspection. If an employer does not comply after the inspection, he said they immediately See DRIVE, page 11

JICA projects implementation needs collaboration: expert By JOHN REY SAAVEDRA
BOTH national and local government officials must work hand in hand in implementing a wide array of projects recommended in the draft master plan from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), a transport expert said on Wednesday. Engineer Rene Santiago told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) that the draft master plan presented to the Cebuanos in a workshop on Tuesday afternoon is a well-prepared and comprehensive framework of transportation plan for Metro Cebu. “The phasing and staging of the projects have to be reviewed, they have to be rooted in the reality on the ground,” he said in Filipino. Santiago, who is a consultant with JICA, is a specialist in transport and urban planning in the Philippines since the 1970s. He was part of the team involved in the

P10-B Rice Fund to minimize impact of tariffication law By LILYBETH ISON
MANILA -- The implementation of a Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) or Rice Fund would provide assistance to farmers as compensation for the projected reduction or loss of farm income arising from the proposed rice tariffication. Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol, in a press briefing on Wednesday, said the proposed PHP10-billion RCEF “is very critical to achieve growth in agriculture.” As such, he said this should be released before the planting season in March for farmers to be able to plant on time. The proposed rice tariffication law, now awaiting President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s signature, amends the 1996 Agricultural Tariffication Act that put quantitative restrictions on rice imports. Instead, rice can now be imported freely as long as the proper tariffs are paid.
The measure also provides a PHP10-billion Rice Fund which will be allocated as follows: • 50 percent will go to the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Modernization (PhilMech) to provide farmers with rice farm machineries and equipment; • 30 percent will be released to the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) to be used for the development, propagation and promotion of inbred rice seeds to rice farmers and the organization of rice farmers into seed growers’ associations engaged in seed production and trade; • 10 percent will be made available in the form of credit facility with minimal interest rates and with minimum collateral requirements to rice farmers and cooperatives to be managed by the Land Bank of the Philippines and the Development Bank of the Philippines; and • 10 percent will be set See IMPACT, page 11

refer them to their legal depart for the filing of charges. “We filed numerous cases these past years and most of the time, the employers would settle at the prosecution level,” he said. For employers with huge delinquencies, Belmonte said they could opt to issue writs of discreet levy and garnishment against them, allowing the agency to seize the bank accounts and properties of the erring employer to facilitate the payment of the pending dues. Such a remedy could be used for employers with remittance delinquencies of PHP200,000 and above, he said. Employers are flagged by SSS as delinquent if they fail to remit the contributions of their workers for at least a month. (PNA)

Cebu),” Santiago said. He also said the urban mass rapid transit (UMRT) that has a north-to-south alignment would address the demand for more mass transport in the metro. “Geographically, we don’t have a choice because Cebu, as a coastal metropolis, there is not enough space for more capacity. Kaya rail tayo dito (That’s why, rail fits here),” Santiago added. The implementation of the projects must be planned to avoid congestion in the affected areas, he said. Titus Borromeo, representative of the Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas (OPAV), also told PNA that the projects being pushed under the master plan include the UMRT, road widening and opening, fourth bridge connecting mainland Cebu to Mactan Island, route plan for public utility jeepneys (PUJ), expressway, and creation of a traffic body for Metro Cebu. Included in the recommended action plan is the “geometric improvements of intersections” that will boost traffic flow in certain areas of the metro, he said. Borromeo said that institutional challenges in implementing transportrelated projects must be addressed. “There are problems related to public works and highways, which can be solved right away because we have a regional office of the DPWH,” he said. “But when the problem is about transportation like rail, bus, and the peripheral issues on traffic will be left hanging because we don’t have a DOTr regional office in Central Visayas,” Borromeo said.

Piñol said the PHP10billion RCEF, which would enable Filipino farmers to export their rice at globally competitive price levels, would be implemented annually over the next six years, he said. (PNA)

The GM will then submit the recommendation to the Board for discussion and approval. “Once the game has been approved by the Board, the game is going to be PCSO’s game. We shall have the full control and supervision of the game and remittances of earnings. We will take over,” clarified Ramirez. After the game proposal has been thoroughly studied, evaluated, and approved by the Board, PCSO and the proponent will enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) where it stipulates all the terms, conditions, and obligations.

not impossible to believe that I could one day grow old enough to sit down and teach another young one how to play chess, and still the Bangsamoro are still in transition to full autonomy. Hopefully, the next generations to come will appreciate the game for the rules it plays by, and develop a deeper respect for those who have been playing the game for so long as well. For now, I am the youth still learning how to best play the game, but I have the potential to keep playing. I am not playing against anyone in particular. I am playing for the transition of society into something that would better give my identity autonomy. The process will require me to step back and re-evaluate many of my actions, before I make my next move, as a learning process. A learning process up until today. Nevertheless, the learning youth of today becomes the implementing adults of the future. Currently, my friends and I are the Bangsamoro’s youth, and soon, we will be the Bangsamoro’s future.

Sat-Sun, January 26-27, 2019 trict Congressman Abdullah Dimaporo whose visit was also about the Bangsamoro Organic Law. Present also in the meeting was Presidential Adviser on Overseas Filipino Workers and Muslims Concerns, Secretary Abdullah Mamao, some barangay officials and members of the Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte National Executive Coordinating Committee (MRRD NECC) in Lanao del Norte. Bravo is the commander of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front’s Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (MILF-BIAF) in North Western Mindanao Front, with area of jurisdiction in Lanao del Norte and some parts of Lanao del Sur. He led several attacks in Mindanao in the past years and the latest one was in 2008 when the Supreme Court declared the memorandum of agreement on ancestral domain (MOA-AD) unconstitutional. Dozens of civilians, residents and motorists, were killed when Bravo’s armed men took to the main highways of Kolambogan and Kauswagan towns, set up a barricade and shot every civilians and motorists they saw. They burned houses and public vehicles. Objective Casan, a good friend of Rizalda and Bravo, explained that he and Mamao planned the meeting a long time ago but was only realized when the latter have already decided to go. They wanted to patch up Bravo and Rizalda so that they could be consistent in their campaign for unity and lasting peace in the province. “I learn that Mayor Rizalda is on our side because he understand our aspirations and dreams to become a developed towns. The only way for to step forward is to included in the new Bangsamoro government,” Casan said. In 2001, Rizalda fought with Bravo’s group after the latter wanted to invade the town. ‘Former enemies’ “I fought with his men with my men just to protect our town not to be overrun by them. I lost one man that time. It was hard being at that situation that we do not want to through again,” Rizalda said in an interview. But instead of planting hatred in his heart, he said, the time to patch up with the group whom he considered before as enemies has come. Together with Bravo’s former armed fighters, Rizalda was seen going around the province actively campaigning to the residents to allow the Maranao people in the six municipalities of Lanao del Norte to be part of the new Bangsamoro government under the Bangsamoro Organic Law. Six municipalities in Lanao del Norte, all are in the hinterland part, petitioned to be included in the new Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao –Baloi, Tagoloan, Pantar, Tangkal, Nunungan and Munai. These
are situated contiguously in Lanao del Sur, a province being part of the Bangsamoro area. “I can understand fully what our Muslim brothers wanted. They want unity and lasting peace. It is now hard to support and give them what they want because that is also what I want –unity, not only in our province, not only in Mindanao but also in the whole Philippines,” Rizalda said during his visit to Bravo’s camp. “I really did not expect in my life that I can step on this place. I know, Commander Bravo also did not expect that. But here we are, gathered together for one objective –to have a genuine peace and development by allowing the six municipalities in Lanao del Norte to be included in the new Bangsamoro government,” added Rizalda who believes that the news Bangsamoro government does not only benefits the Muslim people but also to the Christians. ‘Another former enemy’ Johnny Tawan-tawan, former town mayor of Salvador, has also expressed his support to the aspirations of the six municipalities. It is not surprising for Tawan-Tawan to agree on the aspirations of the six Muslimdominated municipalities to be included in the new Bangsamoro government because he is also a Maranao. But Tawan-Tawan’s history of fighting against Bravo’s armed men in the past could have prevented him from supporting the MILF in their campaign. The former mayor recalled how he and his men engaged in a firefight with Bravo’s group because that wanted to invade Salvador and Kapatagan towns. “We really fought with them so that they could not enter and could not go straight to Kapatagan. I could not have supported the BOL if I have not understood what it is all about. If we could win the YES votes in Lanao del Norte and allow the six municipalities to be included in the Bangsamoro area, we can also benefit from it because these areas are contiguous to ours, they will go down to our town and buy their stuff. We can benefit from them economically,” Tawan-Tawan said. Bravo on the rescue On his part, Bravo promised to the members of MRRD NECC and other Muslims and non-Muslims who helped campaigned for YES to the inclusion of the six municipalities not to get scared after learning that these people are getting threats for being vocal in their stand on the BOL. The officials of the provincial government of Lanao del Norte are also campaigning the opposite way. Tarpulins are everywhere along the highways with quotes from Lanao del Norte’s 1st District Congressman Mohammad Khalid Dimaporo saying he supported the BOL but against on the division of the province by taking away the six municipalities
to be included in the new Bangsamoro government. In the plebiscite on February 6, residents of Lanao del Norte, excluding Iligan City, will vote if they allow the six municipalities to be included in the BARMM. A double majority win will signal the new administrative region of the Bangsamoro to take charge on the said municipalities. But if the NO votes will win in the whole province, the said towns will remain as part of Lanao del Norte. Lucilo Omandam, chairman of Barangay Poblacion in Lala, is the only chairman in town who campaigns with the pro-BOL. He said two motorcycleriding in tandem men kept on following him and were seen near his house when he started campaigning. But Bravo assured that the MILF is on the side of those who are being threatened. “Sa mga MRRD members at mga tumulong sa amin, sinisiguro ko na nasa likod ninyo ako. Kung may mga threat at may nangyayari sa inyong masama, hindi namin kayo pababayaan,” Bravo said. Lawyer Nabil Tan, resident of Tangkal requested the people to pray for them in Lanao del Norte that voters will be given wisdom, that they will see the advantage of winning in the Bangsamoro plebiscite.

from participating in the festival as it is getting “expensive” to join each year. Celebrated from March 23 to April 23, Kaamulan started in 1977 and focuses on celebrating the heritage and traditions of the province’s tribal communities. “Kaamulan” is from the tribal word “amul” which means “to gather”.

that want to participate must spend millions from their own coffers. For instance, Provincial Board Member Oliver Owen Garcia noted that Valencia City has allocated some PHP7 million just to participate in the street dancing, float parade, and other ground competitions. Macas recalled that even the tribes have been discouraged from joining in ethnic dances and other tribal activities because of the prohibitive cost. The trend, he said, threatens to diminish the significance of the festival among the province’s IP communities. “Sometimes, only the government employees participate in the ethnic dances because it’s costly for the tribes,” he said. To encourage more participation, Macas proposed that the provincial government increase the prizes for the competitions and offer subsidies for municipal participants. Responding on Macas’ proposal, Governor Jose Ma. Zubiri Jr. said he will ask the provincial budget officer to look into the possibility of allocating additional funding to increase the prizes and to subsidize participating local government units as well. Zubiri recommended that participating LGUs be given PHP300,000 and PHP500,000 for third class towns. This year’s participating LGUs are the towns of Talakag, Damulog, Kadingilan, Kitaotao, Maramag, Cabanglasan, Manolo Fortich, Malitbog, Baungon, and Sumilao and the cities of Malaybalay and Valencia. The seven tribes in the province are Higaonon, Bukidnon, Talaandig, Matigsalug, Manobo, Umayamnon, and Tigwahanon.
