AGAYAN de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno, yesterday, filed a motion appealing the latest decision of the Ombudsman which dismissed him from the service. Lawyer Dale Mordeno, Moreno’s counsel, argued in his appeal that the same case that was lodged at the Office of the Ombudsman is still pending before the Commission on Audit (COA) and the Ombudsman could have committed “forum shopping” in rendering its decision. On Thursday, the Office of the Ombudsman announced Moreno’s dismissal from service and filed multiple graft charges against him and seven others in connection with the lease of heavy equipment owned by the provincial government of Misamis Oriental when Moreno was still governor. But Mordeno hinted that the Ombudsman could have violated the rule against legal forum shopping considering that the same case is pending before COA. This, after Moreno earlier appealed before the audit commission to review a special audit that was conducted at the Capitol concluding that there was absence of public bidding,
rigged/simulated procurement and incomplete documents in the lease of heavy equipment between 2011 and 2012. COA has yet to enact on the petition when the Ombudsman’s decision came out. Even then, the Ombudsman noted in its decision that “the appeals do not foreclose its (Ombudsman’s) authority to investigate (sic) because (it) is given the power to investigate on its own an illegal act or omission of a public official.” The case stemmed from Moreno’s approval for lease payment of fuel tankers, trailer trucks and vibratory road rollers. But Mordeno argued in his appeal before the Ombudsman that Moreno’s signatures in the documents in question do not necessarily mean that “he acted to conspire.” “Moreno is necessarily at the tail-end of the procurement process when he approved and signed docuSee motion, page 11

Marawi siege part of plot to oust Duterte - Aguirre
J
ustice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II on Wednesday said that the terror attacks in Marawi City, which was perpetrated by the Maute group is possibly a part of the destabilization plot against President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration. Aguirre made the statement, pointing out that opposition lawmakers led by senators Paolo Benigno “Bam”’ Aquino and Antonio Trillanes IV and certain families met in the city weeks prior to the Marawi siege. Aguirre said it was possible that the May 2 meeting which, according to him, was also attended by Magdalo party-list Rep. Gary Alejano and former presidential adviser on political affairs Ronald Llamas could have “sparked the terrorist attack” in the city. “Because sina Senator Bam Aquino, hindi naman, sinasabi ko lang, he went to
Marawi on April 24, and April 28, and they stayed, they had a meeting at lake view resort hotel on May 2. Present were Sen Aquino, Ronald Llamas, Alejano, Trillanes and some clans doon sa Marawi. Mga Moro family. So hindi ko malaman why after they went there, nagkagulo na after about two weeks,” Aguirre told reporters during the press conference held in DoJ. When asked on who are the families who were present in the meeting, Aguirre said it include members of the Lucman and Alonto clans, two of the prominent Money, a gun, ammunition and a grenade reportedly seized from Cayamora Maute, father of the Maute brothers, families in the area.

AFP clears ‘Bangolo’ of Maute Group terrorists Military forces are now starting to clear Marawi City's Bangolo District where the remnants of the Maute Group are now preparing their last stand, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) spokesperson Brig.

Bridges
1982, I visited Davao City for the first time in my life. I learned about the awesome project of a bridge from Davao City to Samal Island. I can’t see this bridge till today. We are all bridge builders during our whole life. I am not talking about the raised platform on a ship or a bridge mounting for false teeth or, as in the bony part of the nose. I am talking about spiritual bridges establishing connections between us and other people - or, between God and us. Another elementary example is the “birthday bridge” or the turn to the year, that takes us rom the old into a new period of life. A very important bridge in life takes people to me and me to people. It matters not if our skin is black or white, if we are rich or or poor, man or woman, being sad or happy. So obvious our daily life is that we might even forget simple things easily. Self-esteem, respect and freedom rom anxiety are the necessary and conclusive foundations for this kind of bridge. Small but important bridges every daily - how easily are they to be built: gestures of love - like a medicine; a handshake together with commendation and praise, encouraging words, a warm smile, instead of a superficial “How are you?” and the expected “Fine” or “OKAY LANG!”. Allow me to say it clearly and direct to the point: Sepa-

the last twelve years: “Many would probably think that central banking and the arts share little in common. To us, however, both are linked by their capacity to reflect the story of our past. “At the BSP, we believe that history must inform our country’s journey; we must learn from the past so that we will be better and stronger for the future. “This is important. In this time of globalization, it is important that we do not lose sight of who we are as a people, what we have achieved and what we can achieve.” That said, Tetangco launched recently two BSP books, different by discipline but linked by a common purpose. The first book “Likha: Enduring Legacies of Filipino Artistry” celebrates Filipino heritage by showcasing the decorative arts collection of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas which includes artifacts from
2000 years ago. The second book “Philippine Central Banking: A Strategic Journey to Stability” looks at the core aspects of central banking from the point of view of professional central bankers with broad and deep experience in the science and the art of central banking. “Likha” (Filipino word for “Creation”) features the decorative arts collections, accumulated over more than four decades. The book includes articles written by Corazon S. Alvina, Esperanza B. Gatbonton, Martin I. Tinio, Jr., Cynthia O. Valdes and Ramon N. Villegas. Former Central Bank Governor Jaime S. Laya, during whose term the collection was started, wrote the introduction. “Likha” provides insights into our evolution as a nation and instills a strong sense of identity as a people. Leafing through its pages makes one proud to be a Filipino.
The s e cond b o ok “Philippine Central Banking: A Strategic Journey to Stability” -compiles in one volume the challenges the BSP faced over the past decade and how it managed the evolving conditions, all for the singular purpose of coming out better than before. The book provides readers a front row view of BSP’s operations and its track record. It also tries to answer the question: Where do we go from here?

Davao Light extends service to 80 households in Purok Nalumville, Brgy. Baliok
Light it up. Happiness is painted each other’s faces after the success of the power line extension switch on ceremony at Purok Nalumville in Brgy. Baliok benefiting 80 families.
“We never had electricity for 13 years, until today. I am very thankful and glad because my child can now study well at night and we will no longer have fear going home late as we will now enjoy the convenience of having electricity.” This is what Marilou Mancao
has said being one of the 80 beneficiaries of the electric service extension of Davao Light and Power Co. at Purok Nalumville, Brgy. Baliok, Talomo District, Davao City. The line extension was made possible through the project Oplan Kahayag, which is a joint venture between
Davao Light and Congressmen Koko Nograles and Karlo Nograles. This aims to provide electricity in areas of urbanized barangays which still do not have access to electricity. And more importantly, it aims to avoid illegal tapping of power which is prone to

accidents such as fire. Through Oplan Kahayag, electric poles were installed free-of-charge to lit up Purok Nalumville. After the necessary installation works were completed, a ceremonial switchon last May 2017 was conducted. Present during
the ceremony were 1st District Congressman Koko B. Nograles and Davao Light’s EVP and COO Engr. Rodger S. Velasco. Also present to witness the event were some Davao Light employees, and Brgy. Baliok officials and the beneficiaries of the project.
“It is great to see how happy the beneficiaries are now that they will start enjoying the benefits of having electricity. I would also like to thank the officials of Brgy. Baliok for providing the necessary requirements essential in this project.” said Engr. Velasco.

2017 Asia Panasonic scholarship applications now open - Making leaders for a better society
FREE Publication of PRESS RELEASES for corporate accounts to Mindanao Daily News and BusinessWeek Newspapers
Panasonic Group announced today the opening of application for its 2017 Asia Panasonic Scholarship Program in the Philippines. The Panasonic scholarship program in the country is administered by Panasonic Manufacturing Philippines Corporation (PMPC) along with the support of Panasonic Precision Devices Philippines Corporation (PPRDPH). The program, which is part of the global corporate citizenship activities of Panasonic Group for the next generation offers two
types of scholarships: Undergraduate Scholarship (available to incoming full-time senior college students in a state university enrolled in engineering, industrial design or accountancy) and Vocational Scholarship (for those individuals, who are enrolled/ accepted in any TESDA - accredited institutions with a 15-month course program in the fields of electro-mechanics, consumer electronics or refrigeration & air conditioning) for the school year 2017 ~ 2018. “This program actually traces its very objective from our belief that Panasonic
exists as a 'public entity,' and it recognizes its role as a corporate citizen. Thus, in the case of PMPC, which is celebrating its 50th year of solid partnership with Philippine society, we are duty-bound to operate along with Panasonic Group’s vision to expand and pursue a better life for each individual customer with its various partners in various spaces and fields,” said PMPC president Shinichi Hayashi. Inquiries about the application process can be coursed through Panasonic Scholarship Office – Philippines via
e-mail at jafanika.sibal@ ph.panasonic.com or lorenzo.magsingit@ ph.panasonic.com. Application ends on July 7, 2017 (for Vocational Category) and July 21, 2017 (for Undergraduate Category). Panasonic Corporation (Japan) funds the scholarship program for its localized citizenship activities in the region, including the Philippines to provide those financially disadvantaged but deserving students the opportunity to attain outstanding academic achievements and become dynamic assets in their communities.

Marriage reminds us about unity
Take note, civil marriage is not a divine union but only a human union. You need to receive the sacrament of matrimony for you to be united with God. Driving a vehicle without a license is illegal. This is my point; living together but no divine union is not pleasant in the eyes of God. Marriage reminds us about unity. God wants us to be united always with
him in his plans and divine purposes in life. He wants us to be united with the people who are doing well in our society.You need to be united with the good programs of our government and our church. You need to be united with your families and relatives all the times whatever the circumstances is. Take note: united we stand; divided we fall. Satan attacks us
constantly to destroy our bonding and unity. Satan attacks the families to be broken. Patrick Payton said, “The family that prays together, stays together”. Allow God to bind your family together.

Classroom Management of Disruptive Pupils DR. MERLYN F. NAVALES Teacher III Oroquieta City Central Elementary School
Teaching is my passion and I always believe that unless I do a lot of work out to find the solutions to the problems, reformation cannot take place in my teaching practices. Classroom management and management of pupil conduct are skills that I acquire and hone over time. I consider these skills almost never “jell” until after a minimum of few years of my teaching experience. To be sure, effective teaching requires considerable skill in managing the myriad of tasks and situations that occur in the classroom each day. Skills such as effective classroom management are central to teaching and require “common sense” consistency, an often undervalued teacher behavior, a sense of fairness, and courage. Consequently, most of them are passive during class discussions and only very few are participating in classroom activities. I did some disciplinary measures like scolding them and reprimand for their unruly behaviour. If my temper is lost I ended of shouting them but I noticed they don’t listen and they also shout at me. I found out that my teaching style is not effective and their behaviours become worst. Because of these behaviours I failed to attain the competency and learning skills expected to be realized in a day. Before this course, I never realized the importance of explaining why we need to behave appropriately in the classroom and how breaking the rules affect others. I also did not realize the value of keeping the pupils in their seats until the
bell rings. Prior to this research project, I would let the pupils pack up and stand near the door until the bell rings. In my mind, this was a way to insure their ability to arrive to their next class on time. However, through my journal, I learned that this is when pupils’ behavior would be at its worst, since it seemed to invite easy contact with other pupils, such as pushing or hitting. The one thing that I have found to be the most challenging though is finding my own individual teaching style and classroom management practices ineffective. To enable me to learn more about my ability to manage the classroom and to reduce disruptive behavior, I plan to conduct action research on classroom management. Classroom management issue is the perennial problem that I want to be resolved. Hence, the study is conducted. I believe Classroom Management is the key component in any educational setting. I believe that if students are in a safe environment, then learning can take place. This doesn’t necessarily mean punishing behavior problems but rather a combination of setting the tone in a class, preventing behavior problems with interesting and engaging curriculums and effectively including all students in the classroom so that their needs are met. Having the right environment for all students to learn is my major goal of implementing good classroom management-without it the students would not be able to learn.
Development Plan (PDP) and the Public Investment Program (PIP) starting this year until 2022. PDP is the updated medium term plan anchored on the AmBisyon Natin 2040, the longterm plan for a stable and comfortable life for Filipinos, to be accomplished by creating a more inclusive, hightrust and resilient society, and globally competitive knowledge economy. The country’s development program was approved by the National Economic and Development Authority Board on February 20 this year, following a series of Cabinetlevel and technical interagency and stakeholder Sweeping plans Among the plan’s goals are to strengthen value and supply chain linkages, remove restrictions, provide incentives, and promote jobcreating investments so as to increase local and foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country. According to the plan, industry and services will be integrated to make them globally competitive, largely by strengthening forward and backward linkages for more efficient supply and value chains. The PDP, particularly its Chapter 9, also seeks to expand opportunities in industry and services, particularly for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), cooperatives, and overseas Filipinos. Tightening value and supply chain linkages will entail improving backbone services, such as distribution, transport, and logistics services, to facilitate movement of people, goods, services, knowledge, and ideas, as well as link firms, especially MSMEs, to domestic and global markets. “Investments in infrastructure and logistics will also boost competitiveness, improve connectivity, and reduce costs,” the PDP notes. Also sought is to amend restrictive provisions in the Constitution; repeal or amend relevant laws, rules, and regulations that restrict foreign participation in certain economic activities; and ensure that regulations promote fair competition. The incentive system will be modernized to remove nationality and export biases and make it more relevant to investors and more competitive with other Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states.
The mediumterm plan also seeks to increase the competitiveness, innovativeness, and resilience of industries and services in the Philippines. To achieve this, the plan aims to develop highv alue added, competitive, and sustainable sectors; improve the business climate; improve access to technology and innovation; and enhance labor capacities. Other goals are to improve market access; ensure consumer access to safe and quality goods and services; improve access to production networks and finance; and enhance productivity, efficiency, and resilience. Moreover, PDP lists legislation needed to propel these strategies. These include the Ease of Doing Business Act, Inclusive Business Bill, and amendments of the Public Service Act and the Retail Trade Liberalization Act. The PDP also supports the repeal or amendment of the Flag Law (Commonwealth Act 138) to create a level playing field for foreign firms in bidding for government procurement. Infrastructure development The PDP notes that despite improved and expanded transport systems, “it is still inadequate visavis the growing demand.” Thus, it underscores increasing investments in infrastructure and accelerating infrastructure programs and projects. This is mainly by ramping up spending on infrastructure to at least 5.3% of GDP in 2017 and possibly to 7.4% in 2022. “With a growing economy, the Philippines requires more and better selected infrastructure investments, given its archipelagic landscape, expanding population and rapid urbanization,” PDP Chapter 19 states. PDP lists four major strategies to accelerate infrastructure development, and these are to increase spending on public infrastructure; implement strategic infrastructure for the various infrastructure subsectors; ensure asset preservation; and intensify research and development on costeffective technologies. In particular, the plan aims to enhance the transport sector by providing adequate, accessible, reliable, and safe access for people and goods moving across the country, to neighboring regions, and to other parts of the world. Accordingly, “there is a need
to enact a National Transport Policy and to create independent regulatory bodies for the railways, airports and seaports, among others, to establish a more streamlined transport sector that is able to efficiently and effectively carry out the identified development strategies.” Roadmaps and evidenced based studies should be used to guide the rational development of an intermodal transport infrastructure network. To improve connectivity and mobility, multimodal transport terminals will be established, complete with ancillary facilities to provide smooth transition for passengers and freight from one mode to another. New economic centers will be supported with transport infrastructure and services in accordance with land use and urban planning methodologies and other sustainable construction technologies that have been proven effective in livable cities. Transport agencies must continue to forge convergence programs with concerned agencies to ensure that economic sectors are offered adequate transport infrastructure support and services. To support development in Mindanao, road projects under the Mindanao Logistics Infrastructure Network are to be pursued along with the Improving National Roads for Inclusive Growth in Mindanao Projects in Western Mindanao. The capacity of the Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the PhilippinesE ast ASEAN Growth Area road network will also be increased. Easing traffic congestion In the short term, the plan says roadbased transport will be improved by addressing traffic congestion through “engineering, enforcement, and education,” while in the long run, the road network will be upgraded and expanded to the highest quality standards. The desired shift from private to public mass transport should be encouraged by ensuring the accessibility, affordability, adequacy, and reliability of rail transport and bus rapid transit (BRT) systems. The government will exhaust all possible means to improve the operational efficiency of airports and to address constraints to optimal capacity utilization. In particular, strategies will focus on decongesting air traffic in the greater capital
region, such as building a new international airport. Meantime, movements at both land and air facilities at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport are to be optimized, while the development of Clark International Airport will be fasttracked, including the establishment of a fast and direct access to Manila, such as rail. Port facilities will be improved so that interisland shipping, including a stronger rollon/ rolloff network, remains a viable transport option for people and cargo. The government aims to expand port facilities and fully utilize existing ports. In particular, “a more direct connection between Manila and Batangas ports will be explored and coloading (modified cabotage) will be implemented to encourage shipment between domestic ports.” “Existing dry ports will be improved and new ones will be built to provide support to manufacturers, importers, and exporters. These will be done by reducing vehicle turnaround time, thus, accelerating trade movement,” the plan says. It added that logistics hubs will be developed to connect industrial and manufacturing zones as well as agroindustrial areas, to major port areas. The plan aims for the safety and security of the public transport system by adopting a universally accepted security structure to eradicate activities that may cause injury, death, loss, or damage to property. Laws governing transport Part of the legislative agenda to hasten infrastructure development is to amend the BuildOperateTransfer Law and its implementing rules and regulations; enact a National Transport Policy; and enact a law creating an independent body for transport safety and security. Another goal is to enact a law creating independent regulatory bodies for railway and maritime transport sectors, which the PDP says “addresses the weak and fragmented institutional setup of concerned transport agencies by creating respective independent regulatory bodies for the railway sector and maritime transport sector, consistent with the National Transport Policy.” “The existing dual roles of some agencies acting as both operator and regulator of transport facilities will be effectively eliminated,” it adds. -- www.portcalls.com

cars were heavily loaded with luggage and other equipment, and drivers were asked to drive as they saw fit depending on the terrain and traffic conditions. Driving a Honda City 1.5 E CVT, the hypermiling team of Raymund Dimapilis and Enrico Mabunay were able to travel an impressive 33.69 kilometers for every liter. According to Dimapilis, their team did not expect to go the distance, saying: “There are a lot of write-ups that say there is no need to get a high-octane fuel beyond the manufacturer’s recommendation. However, this run proved that having a high-performance fuel has its benefits—in our case, fuel economy—when used properly. Another factor is that Blaze is 100% gasoline, so we had additional energy available to go farther.” On another Honda City 1.5 E CVT, hypermilers James Benjamin Gaston and John Abraham Zayco
a ch i e ve d 3 3 . 1 9 - k m / L . Having participated in previous Petron test runs, Gaston has the following observations: “Blaze had a significant improvement on power. This was clearly felt in the ability of the car and engine to slowly accelerate from 21-kph up to 35-kph using a steady engine rpm of 1,000. This significantly boosted the hypermiling technique of a steady crawl at a thrifty rpm in urban areas where stop-and-go driving and spiking rpms are the greatest factor in losing fuel efficiency.” Meanwhile, Antonio Siddayao and Lester Constantino, on-board a Honda CR-v 2.0 AT were testing the new Blaze formulation in normal driving mode. Over the course of the six-day run, Siddayao reports: “At our first fill-up, we did not notice any significant change. After our second refill, the engine response was noticeable and we took note of our fuel consumption from thereon. From Laoag, Ilocos Norte, to San Fernando, La Union, we only consumed 12-liters, despite some sudden accelerations and averaging highway speeds of 60-90kph.” Driving through the varying terrains and traffic conditions in the southern corridor of Luzon until the finish in Naga, driver logs showed that the team used about 185-liters on 2,367-kilometers. That’s like traveling from Manila to Baguio 9-1/2 times on just three fill-ups of the Honda CRV’s 58-liter fuel tank. “Not bad for a 2.0-liter SUV,” Siddayao concludes.

ments to disburse the rental expenses. This is known as the Arias doctrine,” Mordeno said, citing a 1989 Supreme Court ruling that the head of office is not required to examine every single detail of any transaction from its inception until it is finally approved. Meanwhile, Moreno accused Emano of politicking after insisting earlier a special audit on the Capitol’s heavy equipment rentals despite the absence of any adverse finding on the yearly regular audits for 2011 and 2012. He was rebuked by Emano who hinted that someone else could have followed up the case in the Office of the Ombudsman. “I think as good citizens we should follow what was being ordered by the Ombudsman. Dili na nato kinahanglan nga ipahid pa ngadto sa lain ang atong salaod nga nahimo,” Emano said.

elo quent ly once again with the news that a Bohol provincial legislator, 2nd District Board Member R e y Ni no B on i el, w as ar reste d by t he p olice
in connection with the murder of his wife, Bien Un i d o , B o h o l M a y o r Gisela Bendong Boniel. Police are saying there are w it ness es w ho are claiming that Rey masterminded the kidnapping and subsequent gun-slaying and throwing of Gisela’s body to the sea, allegedly because of money problems in their family. Media photos later showed Rey being led in handcuffs inside a police station obviously in connection with Gisela’s death. Many are wondering, how could highly-placed members of society and of government, and conceded political leaders in B ohol like Re y and Gisela, become entangled about money problems in a manner that enabled one of them to kill the other? How did they fail to find an acceptable solution to their problems? How were the y able to los e their sense of balance in dealing with their marital disagreements? -ooo HOW DID FILIPINOS BECOME SO DEVILISH? This, I am sorry to say, is what I have been harping about in this column for a good number of years now. Whether we care to admit it or not, Filipinos from all walks of life have become wicked, sinful, and outright evil. Without exception, we have become capable of c om m itt i ng g r u e s om e and heinous crimes, even against our loved ones and clos e memb ers of our families. How we came to be so is not too difficult to perceive. Many, if not all, of us no longer fear and love God. We no longer fear and love God because we no longer know who He is and what He can do. We no longer know God and we no longer know what He can do because we no longer listen to, nor obey, His commands, as written in the Bible. Si nc e we no l onge r listen to, nor obey, God’s commands in the Bible, we grew up without Him in our lives. Since God was not with us as we were growing up, it was His enemy, the devil, that came to us, entering our minds, controlling our spirits, and enabling us to be wicked, sinful, and evil. We must wake up from this deadly stupor now, lest we all find ourselves suffering in hell in eternity! -ooo WATCH “ANG TANGING DAAN” AT FACEBOOK: Please watch “Ang Tanging Daan”, a Bible exp osit ion and prayer session for everyone, in English and Filipino, at www.facebook.com/angtangingdaan.

tayong nakukuhang delikadong information, vina validate naming yan… Yun pong sinasabi mong threats, yung threats lagi pong nariyan yan. Omnipresent yan. Hindi tayo pwedeng mag relax. (We validate information that we receive. Threats are always there. That’s omnipresent. We can’t relax.) So if you noticed, even the President, alerto siya (was alert),” said OTS Undersecretary Art Evangelista. Evangelista added that airports observe meticulous security procedures before passengers are allowed to enter the aircraft. There are even independent screening protocols laid out by airline companies before planes depart. “If you notice sa airport, nag oobserve kami ng three tier defense system. Meron kaming checkpoint bago magterminal. Meron kaming screening point bago ka pumasok sa terminal. At doon sa final [post], may screening point pa roon. Hindi pa satisfied ang airline, mayroon rin silang sariling screening point bago ka pumasok ng eroplano. Ganun katindi ang screening sa airport (At the airport, we observe a threetier defense system. We have a checkpoint before you reach the terminal; another before you enter the terminal; and the final one there’s a screening point. Airlines are not easily satisfied so they have their own screening point before you enter the plane. That’s how strict airport screening is.),” Undersecretary Evangelista explains. Similarly, the PCG has been observing stringent measures to identify potential threats on ports. They have stationed K9 dogs to detect explosive devices and narcotics in every vessel.

“Sa port security, meron po tayong tinatawag na layering katulad po din sa airport. Meron po tayong frisking. Meron po tayong Xray machines at saka ibang sistema upang malaman po natin kung may threat o wala. At higit po sa lahat, lingid po sa kaalaman ng karamihan, ang Philippine Coast Guard ang may pinakamaraming inventory ng K9 na aso sa Pilipinas (For port security, we have what we call layering like what we have at the airport. We implement frisking; we have xr ay machines and other systems to identify if there’s a threat or not. Also, unknown to most, the Philippine Coast Guard has the most inventory of K9 dogs in the Philippines.),” explained PCG Commodore Joel Garcia. The PCG also conducts constant periodic review of its security protocol to ensure that port monitoring is ensured. For its part, the LRTA said its management is beefing procurement of emergency response equipment necessary for rescue and other untoward incidents. “Ina ctivate namin and we are lining up trainings and quickresponse teams. Because as we all know, marami sa ikinamatay ng mga tao sa Resorts World ay due to suffocation. And the LRTA Administrator also ordered the procurement of breathing apparatus and rescue equipment na binibid na po natin yan. Siguro in a few weeks id e deliver na (We activated training and quickresponse teams. As we all know, most deaths at Resorts World were due to suffocation. The LRTA administrator has ordered procurement of breathing apparatus and rescue equipment that we are now bidding out. Maybe in a few weeks they will be delivered.),” said Dominic Cabigting, Administration department head of LRTA.

Cagayan de Oro City Tourism Council meets at Hugo Skye Lounge to address issues facing the tourism industry
Business As Usual as Cagayan de Oro celebrates 3rd Himugso Festival
C
agayan de Oro celebrates its 3rd HIMUGSO Festival this month with the tagline “Business As Usual Cagayan de Oro”. During the City Tourism Council’s special meeting held June 8 at the new Hugo Skye Lounge in Barangay Indahag, the adverse effects of the ongoing conflict in Marawi City and the subsequent declaration of martial law in Mindanao were discussed. To counter the negative perception about the city’s safety and security, the CTC is organizing a multi-sectoral task force to launch a multimedia, multi-platform public relations initiative dubbed #BusinessAsUsualCagayanDeOro.” The CTC aims to use the 3rd HIMUGSO Festival to launch the campaign by asking stakeholders in the city to carry the tagline/ hashtag in all their ads, events and social media campaign and posts. “The city is safe as evidenced by the tightened security in its key facilities and heightened vigilance of its citizenry,” said Dorothy Jean B. Pabayo, CTC chair. “We assure our visitors it’s Business As Usual in Cagayan de Oro and they have nothing to fear when visiting our city where everyone is welcome regardless of race,

creed or beliefs.” HIMUGSO is Cagayan de Oro’s annual joint celebration of the Philippine Independence Day on June 12 and City Charter Day on June 15. However, for 2017, the City Historical and Cultural Commission headed by Dr. Erlinda M. Burton has prepared an expanded three-week program of events for this year’s edition of HIMUGSO which kicked off with the National Flag Day last May 29. Salient events for the first phase of HIMUGSO which focuses on the nation’s Independence Day include the traditional flag raising at Kiosko Kagawasan at Plaza Divisoria on June 12, the 3rd Kagay-an Health & Wellness Expo 2017at Limketkai Center on June 9-11 and the Cagayan de Oro 2017 Freedom Run on June 11. For the second phase of the festival celebrating the city’s charter day on June 15, the Hiscom has lined up many events including the Launching of the Primer on the History of Cagayan de Oro on June 13, at XU Little Theatre; HIMUGSO 2017 Cinemagis Film Festival featuring award winning short films by Kagay-anon film makers at XU Little Theatre on June 14 (9AM-7PM) which is open free to the public; Sinuglaw Festival by the Cagayan de Oro
Hotels & Restaurants Association (COHARA) in all member hotels and restaurants; free walking tours at Plaza Divisoria and Gaston Park by GAMA (June 15), free Project Tour of the City Government’s Projects (June 15) by the City Information Office; and the Dance Drama “Cagaiang” by the XU Dance Troupe at the Activity Center of Centrio Mall (June 15, 6PM). The celebration continues with a twoday Serenata on June 16 featuring outstanding Kagay-anon music bands, chorales and dance troupes (Activity Center, Centrio Mall, 6PM) and June 17, a concert of various school bands at the Kiosko Kagawasan starting 6PM. Not the least, this year’s HIMUGSO has an added third pace due to the Centennial of the Rizal Monument at Plaza Divisoria, originally donated by the couple Porfirio Neri and Fausta Vamenta on June 19, 1917 on the occasion of our national hero Dr. Jose Rizal’s 54th birthday anniversary. A flag raising ceremony will be held at the iconic monument, one of the first ever to be constructed in the country, to be headed by the Cagayan de Oro Chapter of the Knights of Rizal and the Freemasons.
