Fare exemptions, a brilliant move, says Rep. Juliette Uy

HE Transportation Department’s fare exemptions for students is a brilliant move to decongest the trains and light rails during rush hours, according to Rep. Juliette T. Uy of the House transportation committee, who noticed that the availment timeslots are before rush hour peak times.

“Decongestion of the trains can also lead to lighter train loads and fewer line disruptions,” Rep. Uy said. The congresswoman also said the terminal fee exemption for students could also encourage more students to travel as domestic tourists. “Many backpacker tour-

ists are students, said Rep. Uy. “I hope the airlines and shipping companies will see the DoTr move as a signal for them to develop the backpacker tourist segment dominated by studentsm,” added Rep. Uy of Misamis Oriental (2nd District) of the House committee on tourism.

CORDS convenes to address peace, development priorities in N. Mindanao MALAYBALAY CITY Northern Mindanao have come up with several strategies to strengthen partnership and collaboration in implementing programs and projects that support the region’s peace and development agenda. Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar presided over the Joint Region X Regional Development Council (RDC) and Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC)

meeting on Friday, June 28, following the launch of the Convergence Areas for Peace and Development (CAPDev) at Brgy Iba, Cabanglasan, Bukidnon. Andanar, who is the Cabinet representative for Cabinet Officers for Regional Development and Security (CORDS) Region X, called on the participants to map-out the activities that need to be conducted in the succeeding months to move the peace and development agenda forward.

“For the second half of this year, groundworks are well underway in achieving the goals of EO 70. In fact, this joint meeting shall apprise us on what have been done so far in terms of cascading EO 70 down to the local level,” Andanar said in a speech as he opened the meeting. CAPDev operationalizes President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s Executive Order 70, which established the National Task Force to End See CORDS, page 15

ASIDE from the fact that campus journalism gives student journalists the opportunity to practice their craft and share their thoughts and insights about certain issues, there are other reasons why it is important. The Campus Journalism Act of 1999 is An Act Providing for the Development and Promotion of Campus Journalism and for Other Purposes. It was created to uphold the freedom of the press at the campus

level and to promote the development and growth of campus journalism as a means of strengthening ethical values, encouraging critical and creative thinking and developing moral character and personal discipline of the Filipino youth. The Act is also meant to help students improve technical skills in journalism, understand and practice the responsibilities of a journalist, learn how to be responsible and

promote social awareness. It is also a good venue for advocating educational development as well as for voicing out students’ rights and promoting their welfare. Campus journalism helps students become more aware of what’s happening around them. They learn how to become responsive and proactive citizens at a young age. Additionally, it helps and trains students to become responsible.

Prospecting is all about knowing your audience and using that knowledge to spark the prospect’s interest — nothing more, nothing less. By keeping a clear focus on the very first step of a successful sales process, prospecting, reps can hone their approach to kickstarting the sales conversation with prospecting methods like cold calling, video intros, and creative follow-ups. --0- Today’s sales teams reach peak performance when they’re equipped with tools that allow them to spend their time with prospects actually selling, rather than focusing on administrative tasks. --0- As more interactions between guests and em-

So, how can hotels take advantage of the efficiencies of digital communications while at the same time, providing better, more personalized service? The answer is customer relationship management (CRM). But, CRM doesn’t happen naturally, in order for CRM to be a success, you need a clear understanding of goals and responsibilities. --0- When you are an independent or boutique hotel, it can feel overwhelming to compete with the oversized budgets of large resorts and international brands. Without a big team to rely

That said, you have something most large-scale hotels do not – the flexibility to quickly conceptualize and execute on-property personalization as well as add that special touch to your online marketing efforts. --0- Millennials now make up the largest living generation and are spending more on travel than ever.

The CYNOSURE

‘Gingoognons’ hopeful of new elected officials

Starting today, a Monday, July 1, 2019, the new set of elected public officials starts a journey in public service. 0f course, this is happening the around the country. What interest us, however, are the newly elected public officials in the locality. The more it is interesting to write and talk about the newly elected public officials who succeeded in defeating the incumbents. Victory is exhilarating when an incumbent is defeated after an uphill election battle. Perhaps, that is what is happening in the component city of Gingoog today. Although not a neophyte in local politics, the newly elected city mayor of Gingoog City, Eric Cañosa pulled a surprise.

Defeating the Guingonas is like felling the largest centennial tree in town. In fact, it would take a lot of efforts, consistent planning, and loyal workers carry out the job. Perhaps, Cañosa found the right allies and party mates to pull the surprise victory against the Guingonas. Without doubt, the former Congressman Pedro Unabia, of the First District of Misamis Oriental, who ran for Vice Mayor as Cañosa’s running mate, was instrumental in the victory. Unabia, who finished his three consecutive terms as Representative of the First District of Misamis Oriental, ran as Cañosa’s running mate instead of running for the Mayoral post. There were rumors in

the political corners that Unabia did not run for Mayor out of respect to the former Mayor Ruthie Guingona. The elder Guingona ran for the city’s highest post with Marie, her daughter, as running mate. Marie Guingona, was the city Mayor of Gingoog for three consecutive terms, too. Under the Omnibus Election Code, an official elected in three consecutive terms could no longer run for the same post. However, the elected public official could run for a lower or higher post upon completion of the three consecutive terms. Thus, Marie Guingona became ineligible to run for the mayoral post. The situation prompted Ruthie Guingona to run for Mayor

Cris Diaz

with Marie as the running mate. There was this notion that had Ruthie and Marie won the election, Ruthie would vacate her post. Under the law of succession, the Vice Mayor would automatically serve as the Mayor once the elected Mayor becomes incapable of exercising her responsibilities as Mayor. Unfortunately, the plan did not push through because the Guingonas were vanquished in the midterm election this year. Now, the people of Gingoog City have high expectations of the newly elected public officials. After decades under the

Think A Minute

From Russia with love THINK a minute. This is a true Russian love story. Nadya von Meck was the wealthiest woman in Moscow. But all of her money and fortune could not comfort her after her husband died. She then escaped inside her luxurious home and tried to heal her broken heart by playing the music she loved on her piano. At the same time in the city of Moscow was a 36-year-old composer named Peter Tchaikovsky. He had no idea that his music had begun to restore hope and love to the heart of this lonely widow. Nadya felt that he understood her pain and feelings, and had masterfully turned them into the most soothing and

stirring music she had ever heard. But Nadya’s infatuation with Peter’s music was also attracting her to him personally. She learned from his friends about his interests, and later paid Tchaikovsky to write more music. Nadya, in fact, became his #1 supporter. Over time she also became his closest confidant and companion who inspired him to create some of history’s most romantic music. For 14 years they found love in each other. In fact, Tchaikovsky’s passionate music was written for none other than his Nadya, the love of his life. Then one day they suddenly ended their relationship, and no one knows

for certain why. After that, neither of them lived long without the other. Nadya quickly lost her health and Peter died speaking her name. Yet their secrets live on in their love letters to each other. That is all we know of them. For 14 years they expressed their feelings for each other in letters. Amazingly, the famous relationship of Peter Tchaikovsky and Nadya von Meck, which produced some of the world’s most romantic music, was from two lovers who never once met face to face! But the fact is real love must be lived “up close and personal,” not just in romantic love songs and letters. That is why God became a real person: to

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

show His love for us “up close and personal,” so we could know what He is really like, and learn to love Him for who He really is. There is nothing more He can do to show us how much He loves us, and how much He wants to share His life with us in a daily personal relationship. So once and for all, won’t you open your heart and ask Jesus to become the Lord and Love of your life? Only then can His real love and power begin changing everything in your life. Just think a minute.

CORDS Andanar turns over 50 houses to Bukidnon town M By JOYCE ANN L. ROCAMORA

ANILA -- A new civilian counter-insurgency program to address poverty was launched on Friday with the turnover of 50 houses to residents of Cabanglasan town in Bukidnon province. The Cabinet Officers for Regional Development and Security (CORDS) 10 (Northern Mindanao) chose Cabanglasan for the launch of its program, “Convergence Areas for Peace and Development” (CAPDev), as the town was once infested with members of the New People’s Army (NPA). Communication Secretary Martin Andanar, the Cabinet representative for CORDS-10, together with regional stakeholders, led the turnover ceremony in Barangay Iba. “I want to extend the promise of President Rodrigo Duterte of bringing the projects and assistance (of the government) to your barangay and to all other barangays across the Philippines that would lead us to progress,” Andanar said during the ribbon-cutting rite. The PHP4.2 million housing project was cofunded by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the local government of Cabanglasan. In October 2018, some 117 communist rebels and members of the Communist Party of the Philippines’ front organizations from

Cabanglasan surrendered to the government after they were enlightened by army community support teams. As victims of communist deceptions and agitation, they were prioritized for humanitarian assistance through the enhanced comprehensive local integration program (E-Clip). “While the concept of convergence is not new, what was obviously lacking in the past is institutionalization. Now, we are doing it the right way,” Andanar said. He said that CAPDev heeds President Rodrigo Duterte’s call to prioritize the delivery of basic services and social development packages to vulnerable communities in conflictaffected, geographically isolated, and disadvantaged areas, while facilitating social inclusivity and ensuring the participation of all sectors. “CAPDev stresses that all of us here have a stake in building peaceful and resilient communities, even as it recognizes the primary responsibility of the local government unit in pushing forward this agenda,” he said, noting that the target communities are both dutybearers and claim-holders

of peace and development. Meanwhile, Andanar expressed confidence in the effective roll-out and implementation of the program. CAPDev operationalizes the President’s Executive Order 70, which paved the way for the establishment of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict. CORDS-10 was the first to launch such a program since Duterte designated representatives for CORDS. Under the initiative, Cabinet members may be assigned to discharge their functions, duties, and responsibilities to a particular region in addition to their regular duties. (PNA)

CORDS 10 & PCOO Sec. Martin Andanar: “The government is everywhere. Today, we launched the Convergence Areas for Peace and Development (CAPDev) as our enabling program to operationalize Executive Order No. 70. Pres. Rodrigo Duterte signed EO 70 on Dec. 4, 2018 to institutionalize the Whole-of-Nation Approach in attaining inclusive and sustainable peace. CAPDev is Region X’s banner program to address the root causes of internal armed conflicts and insurgency.”

Davao City air quality still good DAVAO CITY (PIA) -- The air quality within Davao City is still good, this according to Melvin Dapitanon, unit head, Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Unit of the Environment Management Bureau-XI. Dapitanon said good air quality has 0 to 50 value of AQI (Air Quality Index) and where Davao City’s AQI is in that range based on their

monitoring. He said despite the presence of industrial and commercial activity in the city the power plants and factories in the city particularly the cement plants have pollution control devices which reduces their emissions. “Before they are released to the atmosphere, they undergo a process that is why

“Behold Our Mother Earth” ALITO B. DELOS SANTOS, T-III Val. Ed. Dept. Head (Designate) Lala National High School Maranding, Lala Lanao del Norte

One lazy afternoon, I stumbled upon a documentary film on TV featuring Planet Earth. The last statement uttered by the narrator moved me especially when she said, and I paraphrase, “As human beings we have a crucial choice with regards to how we relate to earth, that is, either we destroy it or cherish it.” Of course, we know the right answer to this question. Nevertheless, to act upon it is another matter. Many of us have already known the necessity to care for the earth but if we carefully examine our daily activities, we will realize that we are still very far from helping “our” Earth heal itself. It is just so difficult to change our ways that are largely destructive to this planet. While watching the video, there were many things, aside from what I already said above, that really caught my attention. First, there really exists a significant degree of cruelty in nature. The predator-prey relationship shown in the film was somewhat brutal. In spite of this however, I realized that once the predator’s hunger is satiated, it would stop to prey for a certain period of time. We humans, as intelligent animals nevertheless, are very different. Somehow we have a whole lot of desires that are insatiable. We know and agree for sure that the destruction of the earth was brought about by a few people’s greediness and excessive desire for comfort and pleasure. Second, the role of the mother or the female animal, which was very much highlighted also in the film, struck me deeply. I was moved to see how the “mothers” risked their lives in hunting for food or by starving themselves in order to provide the needs of their cubs. This made me all the more convinced that being “feminine” and the “innate attitude of giving life” are one and the same. “Our” Earth, which we call “Mother” also shares this attitude of femininity. Despite being “raped” and “plundered,” mostly by “men,” “She” still continues to provide for “Her” children. “She” never stops

in protecting, nurturing, and nourishing us. Lastly, I was totally overwhelmed by the beauty of nature I saw in the video. I wonder how we, as human beings, could actually harm it if we directly witness its pristine, unequaled beauty. The reason I think why more and more people actively or passively do harm to the environment is that people have learned to shield themselves either intentionally or otherwise, from directly experiencing the environment. At present, too many eyes fail to see the beauty in nature because of TV or internet addictions. Similarly, a lot of ears nowadays are always covered with earphones and/ or surrounded with so much noise that they no longer hear the tapping of the rain, the chirping of the birds, nor feel the gently swaying breeze, etc. Moreover, many people particularly in urban areas never experience touching or walking on the ground with their bare hands and feet. How many of us are still interested to watch the moon and the stars? No wonder so many people today are seriously estranged from our mother, Earth. And from this alienation comes all forms of abuse and misuse of the resources of the Earth by us humans. Indeed, a very sad reality! If we truly believe that we are created in the image and likeness of God, then we have that great responsibility to take care of God’s creation. Let us then make ourselves available to experience the beauty of nature around us, especially as teachers. Let us urge our students and colleagues to scrape themselves off of the many things that have wrapped their senses from “perceiving,” “feeling,” or “understanding” so that they will become more sensitive and conscious of not only the beauty of creation but also to the suffering that “our” Mother Earth has already endured for a significant period of time. As facilitators of learning for the young, should we remain complacent and tolerant about this indifference?

they pass the set air quality standards,” Dapitanon said during his guesting at the monthly Kapehan sa NCCC Mall media forum in NCCC Buhangin. He said they are regularly monitoring these plants to

make sure they are up to standards. They also cited some violators noting that their pollution control devices are inefficient or not working. To maintain air quality he urged people to conserve

energy and fuel as increase electric and consumption use will increase pollution. “Instead of driving your car to nearby destinations you can do walking or biking,” Dapitanon said. The presence of trees

or the establishment of tree parks can also help by carbon sequestration. Dapitanon said power plants are required to plant trees to act as carbon sinks which sequesters carbon. (PIA 11/RG Alama)

Tagum Task Force vs money scam, now operational DAVAO del Norte -- The Tagum City Task Force against Various Investment Schemes has become operational with two meetings already conducted since its creation on June 10, 2019 through Executive Order 2019-026 signed by Tagum City Mayor Allan Rellon.

BARMM trains new LCEs on governance

ARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Ministry of the Interior and Local Government (BARMM-MILG) conducted a two-day training for newly-elected Local Chief Executives (LCE) in the region on June 16-17, 2019. With the theme “Creat i n g Sy n e r g y i n t h e B a n g s a m o r o To w a r d s Moral Governance,” the activity was aimed to train new LCEs on the basics of local governance and administration. During the training, the participants were oriented about the Islamic perspective on leadership and management, salient features of the Bangsamoro Organic Law on local governance, and deconstruction of the poverty incidence in the BARMM. Lawyer Naguib Sinarimbo, MILG Minister, said the training was intended to orient the newly elected LCEs on the basics of governance, the laws or ordinances they need to enact, special bodies to organize, and steps to take

before actually assuming the post on June 30, 2019. He added that the training has been given more significance as the new autonomous Bangsamoro region has just been established, and its officials has just assumed their respective posts. Interim Chief Minister Ahod AlHaj Murad Ebrahim stressed during the opening ceremony that having a discourse with the Local Government Units (LGUs) is very significant as they are the most important partners of the BARMM in achieving the aspirations of the Bangsamoro. “It is very important that we have a talk like this, in order to understand everybody and in order to have one common line.

Newly-elected Local Chief Executives (LCE) in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) swear to perform their duties and responsibilities with utmost dedication and integrity and to strongly fight the proliferation and use of illegal drugs and other evils of society. Their oathtaking was administered by interim chief minister Ahod AlHaj Murad Ebrahim during the closing ceremony of the LCE’s two-day training and orientation.

This is only the first time but rest assured that we will be talking more in order to work out very strong cooperation and partnership with the LGUs,” Ebrahim said. At the end of the training, the LCEs took their oath and sworn to perform their duties and responsibilities with utmost dedi-

RESOLUTION NO. 19-253 WHEREAS, at present, the Filipino fishermen including Iligan City’s fishermen fishing in municipal waters have experienced dwindling catch as a result of overfishing and coral habitat destruction; WHEREAS, in order to catch fish, they have to venture far out into the open sea, which requires larger machine powered boats adding expenses in terms of fuel and long hour of fishing;

SECTION 18. Organizational Structure. The Organizational Structure of the City Government of Iligan shall include the Colegio de Iligan reflected in the organization structure.

WHEREAS, their low catch can be attributed to several factors. One of which is the existing practice by erring fisherfolks of using unregulated fine mesh net which are still left unchecked and who took advantage by catching of fingerlings or sihag sihagan and catching of matured fish at the time they are spawning;

SECTION 19. Plantilla Positions. To ensure the provision of direct services to the students and faculty particularly on academic performance, records and services, health, safety and welfare, the following plantilla positions are hereby created for the first years of operations:

WHEREAS, lately, the Barangay Council of Tambacan and its BFARMC had been complaining on the practice of some fisherfolks who are fishing with the use of “Sudsud” in their barangay’s coastal waters. This raised concern among them since this unregulated type of fishing is not covered by the city’s Management Plan;

Item No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

WHEREAS, Section 95 of RA 10654 “ Act To Prevent, Deter And Eliminate Illegal, Unreported And Unregulated Fishing, Amending Republic Act No. 8550, Otherwise Known As The Philippine Fisheries Code Of 1998,” And For Other Purposes” states:

Thereafter, this ordinance also provides further, the authority to the concurring BOT to determine additional positions should the present status of the College necessarily requires. A justifiable reason through viable study shall be reasonably required through the recommendation by the BOT, and shall be finally confirmed by the Sangguniang Panlungsod.

project. Those who challenged the legality of the province’s prohibition on open-pit mining method argued that local laws could not supersede national laws, he said. The Philippine Mining Act of 1995 does not prohibit the open-pit mining method, SMI had asserted. Whatever will be the decision of the court, we will have to respect it, Tamayo said. Constancio Paye Jr., director of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau in Region 12, said that SMI had already obtained the Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) of the Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title holders in the area. “Certification of PreCondition (CP) ang kukunin pa nila (they still have to get) from NCIP (National Commission on Indigenous Peoples). Pre-requisite ang FPIC sa (in the) issuance ng (of ) CP,” he said in a text message. NCIP-12 director Jeanne

Anne Moendeg-Zoilo said that SMI’s CP is under process. The FPIC is needed before mining may be allowed in ancestral lands. Tamayo confirmed that former defense secretary Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro, SMI chair, already paid a courtesy call to him, apparently to signify the firm’s intention to pursue the Tampakan project. The Alcantara Group, a Mindanao-grown conglomerate, owns the controlling equity of SMI after acquiring it from Anglo–Swiss multinational commodity trading and mining firm Glencore Plc in 2015.

Suzuki sealed sweeping victories at the Super Series Nationwide Championship-Davao GP

EAM Suzuki secured a dominant win at the midway round of the Super Series Nationwide Championship by bringing home six trophies and five championship titles at Davao GP coupled with an outstanding turnout of its one make races – the Skydrive Sport Cup and Raider Breed Wars. Team Suzuki-VMan Racing April King Mascardo did not disappoint his Davaoeño fans by giving them a remarkable performance at Davao GP. After his failed attempt in sealing a podium win last year on his home ground, Mascardo ensured that his comeback would be big by

taking not just one but three championship titles. The Davaoeño rider’s confidence in the practice and qualifying session was so evident that he was able to secure all of the pole positions in the races he championed in - the Super Underbone Sealed Engine, the Super Underbone Open and the Super Scooter Sealed Engine categories. He even improved his best lap time at 24.489 from the qualifying session to 24.402 at the final race of the Super Underbone Sealed Engine category using the powerful Raider R150 Fi. Mascardo led by getting a holeshot, breaking away from the

pack and then maintaining his race pace until the last lap. His succeeding races seemed like a replay of his first race performance bringing the crowd to their feet every time he crossed the finish line. The same

scenario went with Rmand Salandanan who was also a consistent topper at the Skydrive Sport Cup securing the Pole Position and championship title in the category at Davao GP. The Regional Underbone Grand

Prix (RUGP) running exclusively in Visayas and Mindanao in the Novice/ Intermediate category was also claimed by Roel Rubin and Djereck Ondillo with their Raider R150 Fi units who finished at the 1st and

2nd Runner Up, respectively. Nikko Nambatac on the other hand, took home the 3rd spot at the Raider Breed Wars. The enthusiastic crowd of Davao was as equally

IPC Holds 2019 Isuzu Service Skills Olympics (ISSO) Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) held its Isuzu Service Skills Olympics (ISSO) at IPC Plant at the Laguna Technopark in Binan, Laguna. On its 14th year, ISSO has been competitive and was definitely a fierce one as each participant evidently did not hold back in showcasing their skills and knowledge in service.

IPC President Hajime Koso congratulated the participants for being the chosen representatives of their respective Isuzu dealers. In his welcome remarks, he said, “Today, you are also called ‘Olympians’, because you represent the best of our dealership networks, and I predict that you will exceed your own expectations. Af-

ter this local staging, the world is waiting,” Koso said, referring to Isuzu World Technical Competitions where IPC’s Team Pilipinas, comprised of the winners of the ISSO, has performed consistently and exceptionally well since 2006. Koso also thanked Isuzu Heart and Smile Project (IHSP) for the invaluable contribution to the development of the IPC After-sales program through the automotive servicing vocational

but hardworking Filipinos to be part of the Isuzu family. IHSP has been instrumental in improving not only the quality of our aftersales service to our loyal customers, but more importantly, the lives of many poor Filipinos,” Koso added. In his message, Mr. Ida thanked IPC for giving him the opportunity to have an impact on the lives of the Filipino people. “I have always believed that the best asset of any company is its people. And when you bring out the best from your people, the company is able to perform at its best. The Isuzu-Tesda Auto Mechanic training course program is solid proof that Filipinos, when given the opportunity, can rise to world-class levels. I am very thankful that our students and graduates chose to stay with us to share their talents and time. I leave you now feeling truly confident that what we have started will continue in good hands for years to come.” It was nearly sundown when the winners were finally announced. For this year’s edition of the ISSO, the Champion for Service Technician Category were Mark Anthony Arroyo (TESDA Tacloban Alumni) and Jan Michael Manzon, representative of Isuzu Cavite; ArjhayPulvera (TESDA Tacloban Alumni) and Reynaldo Gepulle as first runner up from Isuzu Alabang; and Harvay Jay T.

It was the top rankers Rmand Salandan (Champion), Polo Arellano (1st Runner Up) and Deo Pondoc (3rd Runner Up) again who emerged victorious during the race.

Meanwhile, the power and performance of the Raider R150 Fi was showcased once again in Mindanao with the following winners: Polo Arellano (Champion), Deo Pondoc (1st Runner Up), and Nikko Nambatac (2nd Runner Up).

Electricity... from page 6

In his speech at the formal transfer of solarpowered generators on Thursday, San Marcelino Mayor Elvis Soria expressed his gratitude to the State Grid Corp. of China for their kind gesture to the villagers of New and Old Baliwet. “I would recall that all of the townsfolk relied on fire for the luxury of light and heat. Through time, we have improved and sought electricity but not all parts of the town experienced this convenience,” Soria said, adding that the Chinese firm made it possible for the Aetas in this far-flung area to be at par with the rest of San Marcelino and the world. The sitios of New and Old Baliwet is about an hour-and-a-half ride from the nearest paved road that connects the native people to the municipality’s more progressive area. Brighten Up project The PHP31-million Brighten Up project was the first charitable project independently launched by a Chinese-funded enterprise in the Philippines. It uses solar micro-grid technology to provide centralized power supply with a power generation capacity of 76 kW, and a battery storage capacity of 414 kW hours. This amount of power is reportedly sufficient for the needs of the 370 combined households and two educational institutions located in New and Old Baliwet. In an interview, State Grid International Cooperation Development Executive Vice President Wang Zijan said they have been constantly in touch with the National Electrification Administration (NEA) and Department of Energy when scouting for areas that badly need power. “The company seeks to prioritize those who are in far-flung areas, along poverty-level, places with issues of power shortage,” Zijan said. He also noted that they prefer to put up these projects in communities with great potential for economic development to further hasten progress. The State Grid Corp. of China will also provide a two-year warranty and lifetime technical support for their power generation equipment. In addition to power coverage, Chinese

Monday, July 1, 2019 telecom company, Huawei, will also provide the necessary equipment for mobile phone signals and Internet coverage for schools and nearby villages. Fast-tracking the energy department’s goal In a separate interview, NEA chief Edgardo Masongsong said that in December 2016 they targeted to energize more or less 1.5 million households scattered around the country. “As of April 2019, the number of energized households already totaled to about 13 million -- a million more of the data before we the new administration came in. We are 91 percent of the targeted 14 million households,” he added. He also said that their goal is to energize at least 50,000 more households each year until the end of President Rodrigo Duterte’s term in 2022. “Private grants, such as these, help us achieve and even go beyond our target,” he said. Energy Undersecretary Benito Ranque also expressed his gratitude to the Chinese corporation for helping the government bring light to these unserved areas of the community. “They are planning to add more beneficiaries and I suggested that they choose Indigenous Peoples’ areas, especially in Mindanao where most of them are,” he said, citing the Aeta tribe in Talaingod town, Davao del Norte.

to and from places of work and residence, we feel that there is a sweet spot for affordable homes in key city centers and its peripheries,” he added. Antonio further said the firm is also ramping up its commercial leasing portfolio with a goal of PHP2 billion leasing revenues by 2020. He attributed the growth to the rising office market, driven by the information technologybusiness process outsourcing (IT-BPO) sector, and the continued economic growth. “Add to these is the continued trend of coworking as well all the infrastructure projects and PEZA’s (Philippine Economic Zone Authority) move to basically create national inclusivity by creating economic zones outside of Metro Manila. I think the office sector will continue to grow at healthy rates,” he said. Meanwhile, Antonio said the first two phases of its affordable housing brand, PHirst Park Homes, in Tanza, Cavite, are almost sold out, and its third phase is being offered. “Tanza (project) sold wel l and ac tua l ly t hat p er for mance has b een mirrored in the two succeeding projects basically Lipa and San Pablo (in Laguna),” he added.

Mayor Ando, meanwhile, has assigned to the city council for the review of local business codes and ordinances, to address unnecessary requirements and payments and to install a modern way of paying business licenses and to provide tax incentives to local businessmen. At the same time, mayor Ando told city hall employees and contractors to remove the usual red tape transactions. According to the mayor, he will work for the job order to regular and the ghost employees of the city hall. However, unreliable and unobtrusive JO and casual workers do not have to worry about how much work they have been working since they are promoting as regular city Hall employees. Meanwhile, City vice mayor-elected Neri said this marks us one of the historic events in the political history of Ozamiz City. “Making this visionary team heading a ‘landslide victory’ and we owe this to you,” she said. Neri added, “To serve the people of Ozamiz with dedication so that we will be able what is due to the people. Paningkamotan nga ang vision ug mission of the visionary team become into a reality that the people should deserve—good governance. (We would ensure the vision and mission of the visionary team become into a reality that the people should deserve—good governance).” In his message, Congressman Oaminal, who administered the oath-taking, has renewed his pledged in the amount of P300 million site development to build a P1.5-billion Cultural Center and Sports Complex in Ozamiz City which is eyed to have been completed by 2024. Later on, it would be possible for the city to host the Palarong Pambansa. He encouraged the new officials to serve with honesty and integrity, and to strive for unity and teamwork with their respective task, to truly earn their place through sweat and patience. The new city officials officially assumed office on July 1, 2019.(PIA 10/ SMRN)

Matter fact, the largely agricultural city of Gingoog has barely moved for the last 30 years. The majority of its population remains dependent on coconut farming. There is a clamor for innovative, creative, and versatile approach in running the affairs of the city government in a bid to inject economic opportunities and social development. Indeed, the newly elected public officials have a lot of things to accomplish. With a three-year term in office, it would need officials with a solid grasp of Gingoog City’s urgent needs and demands. -0-email reactions/ comments: crisguardian@ yahoo.com

after a fisherman reported that an old woman was found drifting off the coast of Balingasag. The fisherman who found her did not pluck her off the seas out of fear after wondering how the old woman managed to survive amid the cold night with nothing to cling on. Her son reported to authorities that she went missing Friday evening, prompting village officials to mount a search and rescue operation. Village chief Eddie Abrogar, of Bayabas, along with village officials acquired a fishing boat to fetch Ocoy who was found 17.7 nautical miles off the coast of Balingasag. Abrogar said that Ocoy did not look haggard or gasping when plucked out of the seas. “She looks good and was even smiling when rescued,” he said. In an interview with local reporters, Ocoy said that she loved to swim and is not afraid of sharks at all.
