The Bridge towards your Dreams is called Discipline “For the moment all discipline seems painful rather Magnificent than pleasant. But later, Meditations it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” (Hebrews 12:11)

OURS is an undisciplined generation. We want things quick and easy. Discipline is a disagreeable word for us. It carries the spectre of hard work and wearisome struggle. It doesn’t feel good. We want to win the gold, but we don’t want to go through the pain of training. We’re looking

THE provincial government of Misamis Oriental and the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) jointly inaugurated Thursday (March 14) the first tissue culture laboratory in Misamis Oriental in Sugbongcogon town. Gov. Yevgeny Vincente Emano welcomed the opening of the first tissue culture laboratory, saying it would not only boost the production of abaca and other crops by farmers in the province but uplift the economy of Sugbongcogon and nearby towns as well. As a gesture of goodwill after the opening rite, the Provincial Agriculture Office (PAGRO) handed out 1,000 newly cultured abaca seedlings to farmers in Lagonglong, Salay, Sugbongcogon and Kinoguitan. The Philippine Fiber

Industry Development Authority (PhilFIDA) also handed out a similar number of seedlings to the rest of the farmers in the said municipalities. “We are prioritizing these municipalities because these are classified from fourth to sixth class municipalities. We are empowering them by boosting their production,” Emano said. As of the present, Northern Mindanao accounts for 4,500 metric tons of abaca production a year. Most of these abaca fibers are purchased in bulk by a processing plant in Balo-i, Lanao del Norte named Newtech Pulp, Inc. Their CEO Petra Bursian graced the opening ceremony and also lauded the government’s efforts in setting up a tissue culture laboratory in the province. According to See TISSUE, page 11

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- Department of Health (DOH) region 10 launched Violence and Injury Prevention program in Cagayan de Oro City as a response to the increasing burden of violence and injuries specifically focusing on road traffic crashes. Dr. Ian Christian Gonzales of DOH 10 said road traffic crashes by the year 2020 will be the 3rd leading cause of death. It is not any more hypertension, not only diabetes, tuberculosis is also going down. Gonzales said the cause of our mortality is non-communicable one of which is road traffic crashes. For DOH, safety starts with prevention, he said. “When we talk about

emergency medical system, we talk about response but for DOH we want the full spectrum starting with the preventive and promotive,” he added. “So, why respond to an accident when we can prevent it in the first place?” Gonzales asked. Enforcement of legislations such as wearing of helmets, seatbelts to safer roads, well-lit roads with visible barriers are used to prevent the emergency, the accident or the crash in the first place. And if the crash still occurs, we have a very established emergency medical system that will prevent further injury and mortality, he explained. He added DOH has created this program to

synchronize and utilize all government offices to one whole of government response. Local government units will be provided with trainings. DOH, he said, will provide technical assistance to local government units such as in establishing an emergency medical system or legislative support to pass resolution or ordinance to increase funding to support this program. Mario-Verner Monsanto, Cagayan de Oro City Disaster Risk Reduction Management (CDO-CDRRM) Overseer, confirmed that it is about time this program is established in the region. In fact, last year, he said, See TRAFFIC, page 9

The legacy of Governor Nestor A. Espenilla, Jr.

DU R I NG necrological services held in his honor last February 28, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) colleagues took turns extolling Governor Nestor A. Espenilla, Jr. Espenilla passed away at the age of 60 after battling tongue cancer for almost two years. Espenilla left behind his dear wife, Tess, and children Jacqui, Nikko and Nesty. All the speakers from the rank and file, the officers, subordinates who worked directly under him, the deputy governors , the members of the monetary board and his immediate predecessor had good memories of the fourth BSP governor. “He was a never too busy to talk to the employees. He listened to their concerns. May malasakit.” “He was very supportive of our club projects. ” “An enabler” “Relentless in his advocacy….” “He had a good head.. and a good heart.” “He inspired so many.” “He had a good sense of humor.” “He displayed utmost

dedication, courage and determination.” “He had a never-saynever attitude.” “A good teacher.” “He made a big difference.” Former BSP governor Amando M. Tetangco, Jr., who immediately preceded Espenilla, summed up what could be considered the latter’s legacy. Espenilla and Tetangco “practically grew up together in the BSP… shared the same bosses… were exposed to the same crises (since the 1980’s)… both had stints in the IMF… were steeped in the DER (Department of Economic Research) tradition of analytical rigor and well considered policy formulation.” Sometime in 1999, their paths separated when Espenilla joined SES (Supervision and Examination Sector) while Tetangco moved on to Treasury and Banking Services. “Indeed, our basic DNAs are the same.” Tetangco credits Espenilla with doing the spadework to make the financial system more inclusive by

leveraging on technology. The innovative regulatory framework proposed by Espenilla has allowed mobile phone financial services to be offered by banks and even non-banks. At the inception of the program, Espenilla went as far as visiting remote islands in the south to see how BSP’s regulations on electronic money has enabled merchants to act as e-money cash in/out points. Up to the very last, Tetangco said Espenilla was “working towards the goal set of 20 per cent of all financial transactions being electronic by 2020.” Tetangco described Espenilla as “a firm believer in markets and market-based solution and that the latter was working to make BSP’s own monetary operations more market-oriented.” “Nesting stuck to his job until completion.” Tetangco recalled that year-in and year out, Espenilla would defend BSP policies on price discovery and organized markets, bank deposit secrecy, amendments to the BSP Charter in both houses of Congress.

Ignacio Bunye

Espenilla’s efforts finally paid off when President Duterte recently signed into law the amendments which would further empower BSP in the performance of its mandate relative to money, banking and credit. At the start of Espenilla’s term, Tetangco recalled Espenilla as saying that he was inheriting Tetangco’s shoes that were too big to fill. But Espenilla, Tetangco said in jest, proved to be his own man who decided to run with his own shoes! Tetangco spoke of the Espenilla’s illness which now explains why Espenilla always seemed to be a man in a hurry. “He battled an illness that very few in the medical profession understood well at this time. Even in his illness, he had to help pave the way for all others who would have his kind of cancer. “His illness was a long trial for him. But he See LEGACY, page 7

Letters from Davao

Araw ng Davao and more MARCH is Davao City’s anniversary month and this year’s 82nd celebration is another big event as domestic and foreign tourists come to witness the many colorful activities which the city government had planned. Each year is always an improvement of the previous and 2019 is expected to be another spectacle to behold. The month-long celebration is always festive starting with day one ‘til end of March. We are done with the first half and excitement starts to build up since the 16th is the climax of the Araw ng Davao when street dancing and a grand display of colorful floats with ethnic touch from every tribal groups compete for the recognition and prizes. Being election season, Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio had set aside partisan politics and invited every aspiring politician from various parties and ideological persuasions to join in the celebration. Her only appeal: no distribution of campaign paraphernalia. With an air of confidence she gamely assured her political adversaries of thousands of spectators who are potential voters. She also declared to cease firing pot shots at Leni Robredo even as the VP again became an object

of ridicule when, in a repartee, she told an amused President Duterte that “rape happens because there are rapists”. Mayor Inday had scheduled “Women’s Summit” in the remaining days of March thus I don’t think she will venture to rub salt on Leni’s badly injured pride and dignity. Davao City is home to the 16th President of the Philippines, Rodrigo R. Duterte. It’s a double celebration among Dabawenyos here because the Social Weather Station just released the result of its survey showing an increase of 15 percent in the President’s trust rating as 76 percent of the respondents said they were satisfied. “The Palace considers this increase in satisfaction rating as a vote of public confidence and a demonstration of the people’s unshakable trust to the present administration, which the survey firm classified as ‘very good,’” presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo said. Still on the survey, the highest marks received by the administration are on the following subjects: promoting women’s rights (+71); building and maintenance of public works (+70); helping the poor (+68); protecting human rights (+62) and reconstructing Marawi City (+60).

These results eloquently argue against the bitter critics of Duterte and his administration. The women made a very resounding vote of confidence and I want to believe that this is anchored on the President’s unrelenting campaign against illegal drugs and all forms of criminality. Women folks are the most threatened sector and it is assuring to note that these days law enforcers are up to their job. Since we are in the midst of election season another way of looking at this is that senatorial candidates who are personally endorsed by Duterte have the best chance to make it to the magic 12. Here in Davao, this sends shivers to ousted speaker Bebot Alvarez who is making a bid to return to Congress. President Duterte had requested for a photo session where he raised the hands of Anthony del Rosario who is running against Bebot and did the same for Rodolfo “Rodney” del Rosario and Tonyboy Floirendo who are running for governor and congressman (2nd District) of Davao del Norte respectively. Later the Duterte asked that his endorsements be done also on video. The only politician who seemed to believe and still going gaga over Alvarez is

Jun Ledesma

Sen. Koko Pimentel who, this week, made public his personal choice of Bebot as Speaker of the house the second time around, this despite the indubitable fact that Duterte who Chairs PDP-Laban has openly endorsed Hugpong Ng Pagbabago’s Anthony del Rosario as Representative in Davao del Norte’s 1st District instead of Bebot. The biggest hurdle is winning the race. Secondly, Pimentel’s memory seems to be impaired as he apparently forgot that the huge majority of those running for congressional seats are re-electionists. They are the same lawmakers who jettisoned Bebot as Speaker of the lower chamber. Anyway, Koko’s announcement is pleasant to the ears of Bebot but as to whether it pleases the President and Mayor Inday Sara who was instrumental in the ouster of Alvarez is another story. But as I said, neither Mayor Inday Sara nor President Duterte will not indulge in politics for now. Araw ng Davao takes importance over the rest. We will see See DAVAO, page 7

NPA attacks Bukidnon pineapple plantation MALAYBALAY CITY--New People’s Army (NPA) rebels attacked a pineapple plantation in the Bukidnon town of Don Carlos and burned a harvesting equipment on Thursday, the Army said. In a statement released by the Army’s 403rd Brigade on Friday, an unspecified number of armed men raided the plantation area of Davao Agriculture Ventures Company Inc. (DAVCO) in Brgy. San Nicolas at around

8 p.m. The armed men “threatened the workers and announced that they are NPA members,” the Army statement said, adding the group disarmed the lone security guard and seized the latter’s cellphone. “Without warning, they poured gasoline and burned a Camico 633 (pineapple harvesting equipment). The workers who were terrified cannot do anything but ran

for their safety for fear of being killed,” it added. The rebels also burned a backhoe and fled toward the direction of the neighboring Maramag town, the Army said. Col. Edgardo de Leon, commander of the 403rd Brigade, decried the rebels’ attack “against civilian properties,” while noting that the destroyed properties had nothing to do with the military’s operations.

“We will be submitting a report to CHR-10 (Commission on Human RightsNorthern Mindanao) and request them to investigate if the actions of the NPAs violate IHL (International Humanitarian Law,” de Leon added. NPA, the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines, is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union. (PNA)

agencies such as the Philippine National Police (PNP), prosecutors, judges, public attorneys, and managers of detention facilities identify common problems and find common solutions. Given Davao City’s huge population, large area and diverse culture, Carpio said the opening of the Justice Zone is significant because it promotes active participation of the three interrelated components in laying out reforms through strengthening of coordination and policy-making; creating space for reform implementation through decongestion and automation; and, generating resources of reform through the improvement of administrative and financial management. “These intended reforms will certainly augment and strengthen many programs and innovations already integrated by the Supreme Court to de-clog the dockets of the courts,” Carpio said. Among the programs are the Hustisyeah Program, ECourt System, E-Subpoena, the revised guidelines for the continuous trial of criminal cases, and the decision of the Supreme Court in Estipona Case which allows plea-bargain in drug cases. EU Ambassador Franz Jessen said the Justice Sector Coordinating Council-spearheaded by the Supreme Court, Department of Justice, and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)--and the Justice Zone at the local level will serve as mechanisms for bringing about reforms in the justice sector. “We are confident that this event will spur similar efforts in other parts of the country on local justice coordination,” Jessen said.

Tariffication to cushion dry spell’s impact on rice prices By JOANN VILLANUEVA

MANILA -- Agricultural production is seen to take a hit from the “mild” El Niño currently being felt in the country but its impact on rice inflation is seen to be mitigated by the Rice Tariffication Law. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecasts the dry spell to be greatly experienced from March to May this year. In a report released Thursday, ING Bank Manila senior economist Nicholas Mapa said initial estimate on crop damage on the first month of the dry weather condition is estimated at around PHP464.27 million. By comparison, the damage to crops of the strong El Niño episode from November 2014 to May 2016 was placed at about PHP8.7

billion, while cost of the moderate El Niño from July 2009 to April 2010 was pegged at around PHP6.42 billion, he said. Mapa expects another weak performance for the agriculture sector this year as a result of the mild El Niño. He explained that the manufacturing sector will also be affected “given the heavy weight of “food manufactures” in the overall sector (24 percent).” Aside from dry spells, the weather phenomenon which is triggered by a rise in sea surface temperature in the central and eastern part of the Pacific Ocean also sets the right condition for typhoons, which he said, is “a bane to the already decelerating inflation.” Amid these, the economist forecasts inflation this year to be within the 2 to 4 See IMPACT, page 11

DA launches Summer Coco Festival By LILYBETH ISON

MANILA -- The Department of Agriculture (DA) on Thursday launched the Summer Coco Festival to promote the drinking of coconut water as a cool and healthy drink during the hot summer months. Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel “Manny” Piñol said the Summer Coco Festival would also boost the earnings of coconut farmers by providing an alternative to the sale of copra, whose price has dropped recently. Also displayed at the Summer Coco Festival in front of the DA Central Office are high-value products from coconuts, such as coconut syrup, coconut sugar, See LAUNCHES, page 11

MANILA -- The country’s franchising industry is expected to increase a whopping 25 percent to USD 31 billion this year on the back of increased consumer spending brought about by strong economic growth. “Generally, the Philippine franchise sector is thriving and actually is not only thriving but it’s really on a roll,” Philippine Franchise Association (PFA) President Richard Sanz said in a press briefing on Thursday. Sanz said the increasing disposable incomes and consumer spending of the middle class, which is expected to comprise majority of the Philippine population over the next few years, is among the key growth drivers of the sector. He also cited the dispersion of jobs into key cities outside Metro Manila, particularly in Laguna, Cebu, Iloilo and Bacolod. “ Wh e n y o u m ov e around, a lot of demands are also there. You have the demand for the malls, for food, for services and that is what is driving the fran-

chising growth,” he said. “And we saw this (trend) starting late last year that is why, our (growth) projection increased slightly.” Sanz noted the continuous creation of new homegrown brands is serving the needs of consumers amid the expansion of the second and third-tier cities. He said this year’s projected growth for the sector is much higher compared to 10 to 15 percent, and 15 to 20 percent during the past years. “But this year, we are very bullish on this growth because of these circumstances that we have seen,” Sanz added. “Recently, we have seen a great leap on the performance in terms of revenue expansion that is why, we are projection a 25-percent growth this year.” He noted total revenues of the sector increased from USD22 billion in 2017 to USD25 billion last year, which was equivalent to 7 percent of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). In 2019, Sanz said food franchises are expected to dominate the sector. See GROW, page 11

provincial agriculturist Apollo Pacamalan, each cultured abaca medium can create 100 planting materials or seedlings. It takes eight months for one medium to be inoculated or cultured. The tissue culture laboratory is currently selling cultured seedlings at P25 each but Emano said the price could go down to P10 if vice gubernatorial candidate President Eipe, current provincial board member, would win since he would introduce legislation on the matter. The P5-million laboratory was constructed as early as 2015 but it was only on Thursday that it was inaugurated pending acquisition of equipment by DOST. Aside from abaca, PAGRO is also eyeing to culture orchids and potatoes. “Maayo man diring mga lugara (referring to the municipalities mentioned above) kay suitable man ang climate para aning mga tanoma ug lagutmon,” Emano said. “I’m eyeing Sugbongcogon as the orchid capital of the province. Establishing the tissue culture laboratory here would benefit not just the farmers but would trickle down to the whole economy in the municipality,” he added, to the delight of Mayor Mildred Mondigo who also graced the rite.

percent target band “given the primacy of the food basket in the overall CPI (consumer price index).” “The ability to import

rice however will mitigate the ill effects of El Niño on rice price inflation to some extent, but the damage to domestic rice production will be felt in lower incomes for farmers in this sector as well as on fruits, vegetables and meat products,” he said. “Consumption, which we are counting on for the heavy lifting this year, will need to overcome the slight blip in inflation due to the dry spell,” Mapa added. Rice tariffication was enacted into law after President Rodrigo R. Duterte signed the Congress approvedmeasure last February. The law took effect on March 5. This law allows for unlimited rice importation, but investors must first secure a phytosanitary permit from the Bureau of Plant Industry and pay the 35-percent tariff for shipments from Southeast Asia. This is expected to result in as much as PHP7 per kilo decline in the domestic retail price of rice. (PNA)

cited its benefits for the people in the countryside. “The GSP+ is a major boon for farmers and fisherfolk since the majority of the country’s exports to the EU are higher-value processed agricultural products like canned tuna, coconut oil, cream, and milk. We are also working to export more products like chocolate from local cacao,” said the Trade Secretary. Andre Driessen, Director for International Enterprise Department of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs shared that Dutch technology can help PH agriculture, water systems, and the Manila Bay rehabilitation project. Sec. Lopez cited the opportune timing of the cooperation with the recently-passed Rice Tariffication law. Under the law, an annual Rice Fund of Php 10 billion will be allotted for machines, seedlings, trainings, and farm financing to local farmers. “Local rice production still accounts for 95% of the rice supply in the countr y. Through farm support from the Rice Tariffication law, hopefully, we can bring that up to 97%. Technology has to set in for us to increase farm productivity,” Sec. Lopez told Driessen and the Dutch ambassador. Driessen also offered their expertise in water technology for water usage, marine construction, and wastewater treatment, among others. PH and the Netherlands are already formulating the Manila Bay Sustainable Development Master Plan through an agreement between the National Economic Development Authority and the Dutch Embassy in the Philippines. The plan is envisioned as a guide for future projects and programs in the Manila Bay Area.

coconut chips, and coconut virgin oil, among others. The idea of staging a marketing campaign for the consumption of coconut water and young coconut meat was presented by DACaraga Director Abel James Monteagudo. In his proposal, Monteagudo said that if half of the Philippine population of 108 million would drink a glass of coconut water once a week, this would translate into 2.4 billion young coconuts marketed for a year. The Summer Coco Festival will run for two days until Friday in front of the DA office. This will be followed by a Metro Manila-wide selling operation that would involve poor families, out-of-school youth, and students who would like to earn some extra money this summer. The coconut industry is beleaguered with low coconut oil prices in the world market, resulting to a drop in copra prices, the main product of the industry, hurting many poor farmers in the countryside. Piñol said it is going to be a tough task to improve the coconut industry “but if we institute reforms by using our coconut levy to establish village-level processing centers for farmers to produce high-value items rather than copra, the bleak scenario we see now in the coconut industry will change.” “There is more to coconut than just copra and this administration will see to it that the coconut farmers today will be lifted up to the status of processors and even merchandisers of their products,” he said. The DA is also launching a marketing campaign with the introduction of coconut oil and other coconut products in the newly-opened Eastern European market, including Russia. Piñol said he will lead a delegation, including officials of CIIF-OMG, makers of Minola cooking oil, to sign a marketing agreement with the owners of a chain

of supermarkets in Eastern Europe. (PNA)

“We are projecting maybe right now, food is around 55 percent of the total pie, but we are looking at 10 percent plus for health and services. Fashion is a bit challenged, but they can be taken up by the health and the service sectors,” he said in an interview. Meanwhile, the PFA is set to hold Asia’s biggest franchise show, Franchise Asia Philippines 2019, on March 27 to 31 at the SMX Convention Center in Manila. Franchise Asia Philippines overall co-chair Chris Lim said the expo will feature over 700 franchise and other business opportunities. “We are also happy to announce that our expo this year will showcase country pavilions from Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia and Singapore,” Lim said. “This is proof positive that the Philippines has indeed become the Franchise Hub of Asia.” (PNA)

This program is designed to give equal opportunity to all the youth to gain leadership skills while creating future socially conscious leaders. “Part of our vision is to give hope and transform lives of communities,” University of Cebu Chancellor Candice Gotianuy said. “We look forward to working with Habitat Philippines in making that a reality,” she added.
