THE damage to agricultural crops in South Cotabato as a result of the prevailing dry spell has increased to around PHP80 million as the affected farm areas continued to expand as of Tuesday, the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPAG) said.

Ma. Luisa Santillana, operations chief of OPAGSouth Cotabato, said three of the province’s 10 municipalities and lone city have already reported severe damages to crops due to the worsening dry weather triggered by the El Niño phenomenon.

She said the affected areas already reached some 2,273 hectares, covering 11 barangays in Surallah, 10 in Sto. Niño and nine in Banga town.

“We expect the damage figures and affected areas to increase in the coming days as the other municipalities have yet to submit their reports,” she said in a press briefing on Tuesday.

Santillana said they are currently validating the reported crop damages in coordination with the municipal agriculture offices.

Data released by OPAG showed that around See CROP, page 11

honored traditions of fair, accurate, and independent journalism, by the news media,” they said.

The groups added that Duterte’s naming and shaming redounds to mere trial by publicity of political rivals, and a publicity stunt for the public and the news media’s transient amusement.

They also reminded Panelo that there are no exemptions to the principle of presumption of innocence.

“Such naming and shaming calls attention to the possible invasion of privacy, as well as denial of due process and presumption of innocence, for those on the list,” they said.

The groups challenged the Duterte administration to build cases, file charges, prosecute, and send to jail the guilty, if indeed it had proof and evidence on hand. (https://www. bulatlat.com)

GENERAL Santos City--At least 100 former New People’s Army (NPA) rebels in South Cotabato province are set to undergo skills trainings as part of the national government’s enhanced reintegration program.

Rafael Abrogar II, regional director of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, said Tuesday preparations are ongoing for the training of the rebel returnees in partnership with the Army’s 27th Infantry Battalion (IB) based in Tupi town, South Cotabato.

He said they have scheduled the profiling of the prospective beneficiaries this week to determine their

training needs.

“They will be gathered and preferably undergo training on construction,” Abrogar told reporters.

He said the returnees could later gain employment in various infrastructure projects in the province under the national government’s flagship “Build, Build, Build” program.

The official said the move is the agency’s response to President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s calls for the hiring of more local skilled workers to fast track the program’s implementation.

Abrogar said the training program, which is supported

THE Department of Health in Region 12 or Soccsksargen warned residents on Tuesday over the shortage of anti-rabies vaccines for humans in the wake of the rising animal bite cases in the area.

Dr. Ali Tumama, DOH12’s infectious diseases cluster head, said Tuesday

they already recorded over 9,000 cases of animal bites, specifically involving warmblooded animals like dogs and cats, since Jan. 1.

In the first quarter of 2018, he said around 15,000 animal bite cases were reported in the entire region.

SEVERAL organizations have called on media outfits not to publish President Rodrigo Duterte’s list of public officials allegedly involved in the illegal-drugs trade.

Duterte and Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo have announced plans of releasing the socalled narco-list next week. The list reportedly includes 82 candidates in the May 2019 elections.

In a joint statement, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP), Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ), Philippine Press Institute (PPI), Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR), Mindanews, Center for Community Journalism and Development (CCJD) and Freedom for Media, Freedom for All Network expressed grave concern about the likely breach professional

ethics and adverse legal implications of the publication and broadcast of the said list.

“This matter is more than just about a list, and its disclosure, more than just a story that the Duterte Administration seems to want the news media to publish and broadcast with no thought to the journalistic values of fairness, accuracy, and independence,” they said.

The groups urged media outfits to exercise utter prudence and fastidious judgment in evaluating the ‘story.’

They pointed out that the chief of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency himself opposes the release of the list, admitting that his agency has yet to re-validate it.

“Once published or broadcast, the travesty will be magnified as a collective disregard for the rule of law, and a clear breach of the time-

Malou makes waves in Paris Spring Fashion Week

C HA R L O T T E , No r t h Carolina--Six designers of the Opera Carolina group based here in Charlotte participated in the recent Paris Spring Fashion Week.

One of them, Malou Tab a d a - C ord e r y - - w h o originally hailed from Villanueva town in Misamis Oriental, northern Mindanao in the Philippines and now calls Charlotte home-made a name for herself for making fashionable wear from recycled materials.

She and five other designers are the eco-couture designers of Opera Carolinas who provided them with the materials to create wearable fashion gowns.

Opera Carolina is a Charlotte-based group of designers founded by its

marketing guru Megan Miller.

Charlotte designers who were invited included Lyndsee Hairstorn, Malou Tabada -Cordery, Sarah Danee, Itala Flores, Rocio Llusca and another Filipino-American designer Edelweiss de Guzman-Vogel.

Malou was unable to go to Paris but her creation was brought in by the Opera Carolina group. She didn’t know about the fashion show until Miller asked her to create a recyclable dress for the Spring Fashion Week in Paris this year.

The show was held at the Intercontinental Paris Le Grand Hotel last March 4 in Paris. Malou’s creation as worn by professional model Molly Estellia Davidson of

France who recently landed in the cover of a wedding magazine in Liverpool, England.

Malou’s design drew raves from those in the show. “My design Is an interpretation of an Opera called Aida by Giuseppe Verdi,” Malou said. Aida was an Ethiopian princess held captive in Egypt who fell in love with General Rameses.

The Eyptian general struggled to choose between his love of Aida and his loyalty to the Pharoah.

“Aida is a timeless story of love and betrayal against the backdrop of war. I was inspired to create Aida’s outfit in my own style, which is more about fashion than costume,” the very humble

Susan Palmes-Dennis

and pretty Malou said.

She spent more than 100 hours preparing the design, sourcing the materials and putting it all together. “I’ve have to work around my work schedule to finish it,” she said.

Malou used a bunny suit, an operating room lab gown, white disposable table cloth, old paper brochures, old opera tickets and play bills from the Opera Carolina styrofoam and gold construction paper for the dress.

The belt has the ankh, an Egyptian symbol for life with reeds. This is the See FASHION, page 11

A Deeper View

Freedom is not personal

GIANT cable network CNN International and its local affiliate CNN Philippines are extensively promoting the network-sponsored international “My Freedom Day” celebration on March 14 with much emphasis on how the youth and their adult counterparts view what freedom is to them personally.

One thing disturbing about this view of freedom as something personal is its resultant effect of constricting the same into something as finite as the one issuing such view. This is not how freedom should be viewed for the exercise of freedom can’t just be limited to one’s understanding of it based on his personal experience.

Freedom to be desirable should always be viewed as something good and beneficial to a community of people. It can never be of benefit to society if it’ll only

benefit an individual. When the Israelites called out to God to have them freed from the misery and suffering they were experiencing in Egypt as slaves, God did not just free one Israelite but the entire nation.

The benefits of freedom is meaningless if not enjoyed by a community of people or a nation. This is what the Exodus story of the Israelites is telling us. This is so because freedom is for all not just for an individual.

What’s wrong if freedom becomes personal? There is something so terribly wrong with this. How? Take for example the freedom exercised

by Hugpong sa Pagbabago titular head and first daughter Sara Duterte-Carpio, the incumbent Davao City mayor, when she expressed her personal view during a campaign sortie that honesty, and effectively integrity, is not an issue in the May

midterm elections.

Yes, she has the freedom to express her view. But what is its resultant effect to the entire body politic if taken literally by the people? It’ll result in the diminution of the meaning of that maxim which says “a public office is a public trust.”

Honesty and integrity are intertwined in the word trust. Without honesty and integrity public office will no longer be a public trust thus giving the elected occupant the right to do whatever pleases him. Truth is this is the prevailing idea among public officials toward the office they are occupying giving rise to corruption.

Public trust as the overarching concept attendant to a public office is the rationale why public officials can’t behave with impunity.

This is the concept why there is public accountability. It is in this regard that Mayor

Jesse E.L. Bacon II

Sara’s exercise of her freedom to say what pleases her must be curtailed.

The exercise of that freedom does not and will never benefit society as a whole. Such exercise of that freedom is wrong because freedom should always be beneficial to the larger community. For her to say that honesty is not an issue in the midterm elections or in any election for that matter only endorses corruption to become the governing rule in public service.

If honesty is no longer an issue, then politicians seeking the people’s mandate need not be conscious anymore about their See FREEDOM, page 11

Think A Minute

Overcoming obstacles

THINK a minute.

Jesse Owens was a worldclass athlete in track and field in the 1930’s. He was told that because he was a black, African American, there was no way he could win against the white Nazi German athletes at the world Olympics in 1936.

That year the Olympics were held in Berlin, Germany. Adolf Hitler, the Nazi dictator, refused to even look at the African American athletes.

T he w h ite G e r man athletes were praised and cheered on the field, while Jesse Owens and the other American athletes were insulted and ignored. Yet Jesse did not let Hitler’s

cruel prejudice intimidate or stop him.

In fact, he was determined more than ever to reach his goal of doing his best. “One of the great joys in life is doing what people say you can’t.”

Jesse made mistakes in his first two long jumps, but he did not let that discourage him. Then, on his last jump, Jesse won!

He went on to win all three other events in which he competed. So Jesse Owens came home to America with a record four Olympic Gold Medals!

A Japanese proverb says: “If you fall down seven times, stand up eight times.”

We all fail and fall down.

That’s OK. But to stay down and not try to get up again, that is sad and serious because you give up hope.

Remember : “We all fail—at least the best of us who are brave enough to try something new.” So just because you may lose sometimes does not mean you are a loser.

The famous inventor Thomas Edison said: “Many people who failed in life did not know how close they were to success when they stopped trying.”

When challenges come your way, including when you fail, you still have the choice to keep going and reach your goal. “What you do with a great opportunity

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

depends on what you already are; and what you already are depends on your years of daily choices.”

This is why we need Jesus to develop in each of us His inner strength and perseverance that is greater than any obstacle we face.

You will never regret asking Him to take full charge of your heart and way of living from this day forward.

Just think a minute.

DA records P292M El Niño damages in R10

A total of 5,979 hectares of farmland have already been affected by the El Niño drought as of March 11.

In a press conference Tuesday (March 12), Department of Agriculture (DA) 10 director Carlene Collado reported that Bukidnon bore the brunt of the crisis with 5,768 hectares in rice, corn and vegetable farmland affected.

Only 200 hectares of farmland were affected in Misamis Oriental. The rest of the provinces – Camiguin,

Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental – have yet to report the effects of the drought in their respective localities.

But Collado said that they have already distributed 500 submsersible pumps to the five provinces as early as a year ago to mitigate the effects of such severe weather disturbance.

He added that another 100 of these pumps will be distributed in Bukidnon later this week.

DA 10 is likewise preparing for buffer stocks in rice

and corn seeds and vegetables for farmers in non-affected areas to use and continue production to offset the lesser harvest in El Niño-affected areas.

The damage to rice, corn and vegetable crops so far regionwide has already totaled P292 million with the following breakdown: P279 million in corn crops, P8 million in rice crops and P4.45 million in vegetables.

There were 4,715 farmers in Region 10 affected by the crisis so far. MF

Murang Kuryente Partylist to electric coops:

‘We pay taxes, why can’t you?”

MURANG Kuryente Partylist (MKP) on Tuesday filed a Motion to Dismiss and a Petition for Intervention against the recent petition of the Philippine Rural Electric Cooperatives Association, Inc. (PHILRECA) to pass on real property tax (RPT) to the monthly bill of consumers nationwide.

In a petition filed on October 21, 2018, PHILRECA asked the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to formulate rules on how to pass on real property taxes to their consumers.

“All property owners pay amilyar (real property taxes) on what they own. Why do we also have to pay for what the coops own?”, asked Gerry Arances, a nominee of the Murang Kuryente Partylist.

Joining the partylist in its action are the groups Center for Energy, Ecology, and Development (CEED) and Sanlakas.

Murang Kuryente filed the Motion to Dismiss on the basis that the petition of the electric coop group is speculative, as there is no proof presented that the coops are being assessed real property taxes, or that they do not have enough funds to pay for

these taxes.

Arances said, “If only these coops are as quick in providing cheap and reliable supplies of electricity as they are in inventing ridiculous charges for their customers, our country would have the most advanced electrical system in the world.”

Petitions for Intervention, if granted, allows a party with direct and substantial interest the opportunity to be heard during the hearing.

Mu r ang Ku r ye nt e , CEED, and Sanlakas are

filing the Petition to Intervene on behalf of the millions of consumers to be affected by the coops’ petition, to ensure that consumers’ interests are heard despite the short notice given to them concerning the request.

Let me remind these cooperatives that they should work for the benefit of their member-consumers. There is no sense in raking in profits for the cooperative if it means unduly burdening their members,” Arances further said.

Last year, we announced another initiative, and that is to address solid waste pollution. This project is part of that goal,” SMC president and COO Ramon S. Ang said in a news release issued Monday.

SMC will be working with leading materials science company, Dow Chemical, for the project that will use hard-to-recycle plastics as an alternative raw material input to asphalt for road building.

“Developing roads using plastics that would have otherwise ended up in landfills or our bodies of water is an environment-friendly method of disposing of scrap plastics,” he said.

MisOr to give aid to El Niño-affected farmers, boost Claveria production THE provincial government of Misamis Oriental is already ready to hand out P7,000 to each farmer affected by the El Niño-induced drought.

In his weekly press conference Monday (March 11), Gov. Yevgeny Vincente Emano said the agriculturist’s offices in each city and municipality are expected to submit a certified list of affected farmers to the Provincial Agriculturist’s Office (PAGRO) so the financial assistance could be disbursed immediately.

At the same time, Capitol will speed up the distribution of seeds, seedlings and fertilizers to farmers in Claveria municipality of corn, upland rice, vegetables and highvalued crops since this is the only locality in the province that is not affected with El Niño.

The Emano administration will likewise continue to distribute water pumps

to farmers’ associations in the said municipality as this would serve as a buffer for food stocks for the entire province during the whole onset of El Niño.

“Lahi ang climate sa Claveria, they have a temperate climate there yearround, kada udto mag-ulan.

It’s such a beautiful place nga makita nimo in one setting one part of the municipality the sun is shining, the other part is cloudy and the other part nag-fogs and raining.

It’s very conducive to farm there,” Emano said.

Earlier, the country’s weather authority – Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) – forecast that the El Niño this year will last up to five months with 60 percent rainfall reduction.

It is triggered by warming in the eastern Pacific Ocean. mf

DAR Surigao del Sur hands titles, equipment during farmer’s summit TANDAG CITY -- A total of 238 farmers are expecting a more secure farming experience after the Department of Agrarian ReformSurigao del Sur distributed 377 hectares of agricultural land in Tandag City, Surigao del Sur last March 7, 2019.

Nestor Lureman, 47 years old from Carpenito Tagbina, Surigao del Sur was one of the farmer-recipients. “I was working in this land assisting my parents who were tenants since I was 13 years old”, said Lumeran.

“Now I will work as the owner”, he added. Lumeran received 3 hectares.

Agrarian Reform Undersecretary Karlo S. Bello of the Field Operations Office encouraged the beneficiaries to make the land productive.

GSIS asks LLDA to revoke violation notice

Compliant with DENR standards on water pollution A recent laboratory test conducted by the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) showed that the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) is compliant with the standards of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) on the discharge of its wastewater.

This disproves the previous report that GSIS is contributing to the pollution of Manila Bay. “In the interest of fairness, we are requesting LLDA to revoke the notice of violation issued to GSIS at the height of the Manila Bay clean up drive. It turns out that the basis of this alleged violation was the test where LLDA represen-

tatives used water samples taken from the inlet of the last stage of treatment and not at the exit stage of our Sewage Treatment Plant (STP),” GSIS President and General Manager Jesus Clint Aranas said.

He said that after the alleged violation had been refuted by the results of the retest of LLDA, the immediate revocation of the notice imposing penalty is necessary.

“Be that as it may, we have been evaluating the operations of our STP. We have also been meeting with several service providers to rehabilitate our treatment plant,” Aranas continued.

Aranas explained that See REVOKE, page 9

DAVAO CITY -- With the drought season already threatening this city, the Davao City Water District (DCWD) is calling on Dabawenyos to conserve and store water for contingency measures.

Jovana Duhaylungsod, DCWD deputy spokesperson, said Monday that while the El Niño phenomenon is expected to have minimal effect on the city’s water sources Dabawenyos should still conserve and store water for contingency use.

“Our source is groundwater so the effect of El

Niño will be minimal,” Duhaylungsod explained.

“We will not resort to water rationing.”

Duhaylungsod said El Niño will have more impact on areas with surface water as source such as Metro Manila.

She said DCWD is also evaluating its production wells as precaution measures and intensify its advocacy campaign on rainwater harvesting because it helps bring down demand.

Barba encouraged the Iloilo planters to diversify into highly lucrative crops such as cacao, mango, coffee and bananas to supply the export market.

‘Certainly there is demand and ready buyers for our agricultural products especially with the GSP plus status that we have with the European Union and the growing need for food imports in China,” Usec. Barba added.

Among the benefits of using recycled plastics for road surfacing are: improved stability and durability of roads; increased skid resistance, which improves road safety; longer lifespan of roads; lower asphalt costs, and less waste destined for landfills.

Dow has worked on projects that use plastics for modifying the properties of bitumen, used in making asphalt, which has been tested in India, Indonesia, and Thailand.

Initially, SMC will test out the technology in small municipal roads, as well as sidewalks and parking lots.

Affected were palay, corn, cassava, banana, yam bean, papaya, peanut and sweet potato farms in Barangays Cabuling, Cinco, San Jose, Lamba, Lam-apos, Derilon, Lambining, Lampari and San Vicente.

“These are mostly upland rain-fed areas and far from the existing irrigation facilities,” Santillana said.

Justina Navarrete, OPAG chief, reiterated that they are currently assisting local farmers in planting cash crops like mongo and watermelon as alternative to rice and corn.

She said a number of farmers in Banga and Tantangan towns have made initial harvests for watermelon after shifting to the crop following their last palay harvest in January.

“We’re continually promoting the planting of vegetables in backyard gardens and we’re providing free seeds for these,” Navarrete added.

Solons urge gov’t to act vs. El Niño Meanwhile, S enator Sonny Angara on Tuesday urged the government to take a “proactive stance” amid threats of a prolonged dry spell in Metro Manila and the rest of the country.

In a statement, Angara said the government should designate an “anti-El Niño czar” who will lead the multiagency response to the dry spell.

He also cited the need for an “El Niño action plan” in agricultural areas in the country before the drought caused by the weather phenomenon “unleashes its full brunt” on farmers.

“A man-made disaster over a natural disaster is a double whammy that will leave less food on the table for families and less income for farmers,” Angara said.

“There are threats to agriculture in multiple fronts.

Government should help farmers battle the many crises they are facing,” he added.

Angara said the govern-

ment could tap four sources to fund its El Niño mitigation measures.

These are the Calamity Fund or National Disaster Risk Management and Mitigation Fund; the budget of agriculture agencies, such as the National Irrigation Administration; the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund under the Rice Tariffication Law; and the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s funds to aid distressed families.

S enator Grace Po e, meanwhile, urged the Department of Agriculture and other government agencies to activate a Task Force El Niño that would identify communities severely impacted by droughts and water shortages.

“Dapat may Task Force El Niño ang Department of Agriculture at iba’t-ibang departamento para makita kung saan tayo makakatulong agad. Sa task force na ‘yan, ina-identify ‘yung mga bibigyan ng tubig na priority (The Department of Agriculture and other agencies must have a Task Force El Niño that would identify areas that need help. Through that task force, priority areas for water distribution would be identified),” Poe said.

She also pushed for the creation of a single agency in charge of sustainable water management and sanitation.

Poe filed the proposed Water Regulator y Ac t seeking to rationalize and streamline functions of various state agencies in terms of water regulation.

The proposed body is mandated to set the policy for water supply, sewerage and septage management, issue licenses, and set, review or approve rates.

“Dapat may iisang water regulatory board na ‘di lang sa tubig kundi pati sa sewerage system. Kasi ngayon, wala pang ganyan (There should be a sole water regulatory board that focuses not only on water management, but also on the management of the sewerage system),” Poe said. (PNA)

communities in Manticao committed to help one another to maintain peace and order and fight against violent extremism,” Labitad said.

After the solidarity walk, a program, which was highlighted by a symbolic exchange of a bible and a Qur’an and an inter-faith prayer led by Catholic priest Rev. Fr. Julieto Cabactulan and Muslim Imam Samsudin Busran.

Cabactulan, a parish priest of St. Anthony De Padua in Manticao Parish, said it was overwhelming to see the Muslim and the nonMuslim communities in one event sharing one purpose which is to help countering violent extremism.

“This is a good venue to make awareness to our community that in achieving

Wednesday, March 13, 2019 genuine and lasting peace is a work not only of the police and of the LGU and of the religious sectors but it’s everybody’s concern,” Cabactulan said.

“I may not understand and I may not know how to read the Qur’an handed to me in exchange of my Bible but I understand that Islam is a peace-loving religion,” the priest added.

Cabactulan noted that respect is also an important factor in achieving peace.

He urged the stakeholders to respect one another despite of their religious and political affiliation because if there is respect, there is peace and development.

Municipal Mayor Antonio Baculio also underscored that despite the peaceful existence of the mixed-tribes in Manticao, it is still important for everyone to cooperate because everybody can reap what he have sowed.

“This event reminds all of us that if we want progress, we should start with achieving peace because in peace, everything else will follow,” Baculio said.

The event ended with a releasing of white balloons that signify the intention of the participants that they are ready to spread and share peace to all according to Labitad.

Honesty... from page 1

“Be honest in words and deeds,” Santos said in his homily during Mass at Columban College in Barreto, Olongapo City.

As head of the Church’s migrants ministry, he urged overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to choose candidates who are “honest, hardworking and helpful like them”.

Saying that OFWs are the backbone of the economy, he urged them to pick candidates for the May 13 elections who are not tainted with graft and corruption.

“Pick those who will not take advantage of your remittances,” Santos said.

The prelate also defended the Filipino workers over influx of Chinese workers in the country.

According to him, foreign employers would prefer Filipino workers.

“This is why I believe there is no truth to the statement of some government officials that Filipino workers are not qualified for the jobs,” he said.

fourth year that Malou collaborated with Opera Carolina. From local shows in Charlotte, Malou went to the New York Fashion Week.

“It was a great experience being in the Big Apple since the show was held in one of the hotels at Times Square,” Malou said.

The Paris Spring Fashion Week was the first foreign event joined by Opera Carolina and the first time Malou’s creation was seen in foreign soil. Malou, who

never attended fashion and design school, considers this a big achievement.

“I feel honored, humbled and proud. Who would imagine that a little girl from Villanueva town would fulfill her big dreams? I never expected in my life that my design would end up in Paris,” she said.

I didn’t attend the Paris show but Megan Miller of the Opera Carolina and Sarah Danee, another designer, kept me updated and sent me pictures.

Malou’s knack for fashion and design was evident during her childhood in Villanueva town, where she sewed dresses.

It manifested much later in life when she made dresses for her two beautiful daughters using the sewing machine given to her by her mother-in-law in the Philippines.

Malou als o cre ated the dress worn by Janet Pichon Hixon in the just concluded Mrs. Eco Earth pageant held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Meanwhile Molly thanked Malou after the show through Instagram.

Molly said she felt honored to wear her creation and hoped that she can work with her in the future.

With support from her family—her husband Richard connected the live feed of the Paris show through their computer—Malou said she always feels motivated to work. “I’m so excited already, though I’m not in Paris for the show,” Malou said.

Based on their mission statement, the Opera Carolinas group is committed to putting materials such as outdated opera playbills, programs, signs and brochures to beautiful and creative use.

In the four years since they launched this initiative, more than 35,000 pieces of marketing materials were converted to couture fashion pieces inspired by the opera.

Through their initiative, Opera Carolina is showing its commitment to environmental awareness through its creations. /comments susanap.dennis@yahoo.com

accountability for all the actions they make while in office. Mayor Sara’s view that honesty is no longer a commodity in the realm of public service is a great disservice to public service itself. Her view, however, only reflects what is going on in Philippine politics nowadays.

Honesty has become a rarity among public officials.

A good number of them, if not all, behave with impunity as if the public office they are occupying is theirs like their own private enterprises thus not accountable to anybody in regard the way they discharge their duties and responsibilities.

The people is waiting for Mayor Sara to be brave and courageous enough to admit she was wrong in this

Ecoverde was formed to

answer the emerging need for housing for the middle income Filipino family. Its main thrust is to provide

earth-friendly and high quality housing projects for the modern Filipino family. As of today, it has main six

projects – three in Batangas and three in Cagayan de Oro City including the new soon to open Ecoverde Sierra In-

gic gender needs of women.

In our society nowadays, more and more women are engaging in what used to be jobs only meant for men. In some cases, we witness women excelling in the corporate industry more than male. This development brings a positive outlook towards the goal of gender equality.

Aside from these developments, women still hold certain roles in the family, being a mother and a wife has its own necessities and striking a balance between these personas can be very challenging.

In order to do this, Women need additional supplements to stay healthy and be able to prolong their roles that

they have to accomplish. It is noted that women needs more calcium intake than men. This is due to the fact that women go through several life stages that increases their calcium needs.

1. Puberty During this stage, women are at the prime of their being active physically. This is also the stage when they

start menstruating. It is important to consume the right levels of calcium everyday to prevent the risk of different bone conditions, and try to build up your calcium levels from your younger days.

2. Aldulting In starting an adult life and having a family, Women needs a certain level of estrogen. Estrogen is essential for woman sex hormone.

Estrogen also maintains the bone health. Calcium is crucial in maintaining estrogen intact in a woman’s body.

3. Pregnancy During this stage, woman is required to double their calcium intake regularly.

This is to supply the calcium needs of the fetus as much as her own. The fetus needs normal levels of calcium to ensure proper heart function and rate as well as proper function of nervous system and muscles. Neglecting the

additional calcium intake during your pregnancy will result in utilization of your stored calcium which will be harmful for you in the long term.

4. Menopause Study shows that the bone density declines by 20% after menopause when estrogen level starts to deplete, hence, it is recommended to take sufficient levels of calcium to prevent the problem of bones osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis, is a condition where bones become too porous and loose its density. As bones become more porous and fragile, the risk of fracture is greatly increased. The loss of bone occurs silently and progressively. Often there are no symptoms until the first fracture occurs.

Having stated the importance of calcium in your body, it is important to

Echoing Women Empowerment by improving their health In celebration of Women’s month this March, we hear a lot of emphasis towards empowering the female population and urge for gender equality.
