Thank you Mindanao!
MISAMIS Oriental Vice Governor Joey Pelaez said Vice President Jejomar Binay is a victim of his political opponents constantly hounding him in investigations upon investigations piling on top of each other. Speaking at the sideline of Binay’s two-day visit here over the weekend, Pelaez said that investigations are just that: investigations. “They have to prove that the Vice President has done something wrong. And until now, nothing has been proven. So with that, it President Jejomar Binay (left) is having a boodle fight with former Mayor Vicente means only one thing - that Vice Y.

Tribes call on LGUs to imitate Duterte’s stance on mining By ZEA IO MING C. CAPISTRANO, DavaoToday.com

AVAO CITY – The indigenous peoples’ group Kalipunan ng mga Katutubong Mamamayan ng Pilipinas (Katribu) appealed to local governments to emulate Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s stance on mining.
“We hope that this mining ban in Davao City encourages other local government units to institute ordinances against largescale mining,” said Katribu
spokesperson Piya Macliing Malayao . She lauded applauded Duterte’s support in banning mining saying that the indigenous peoples “are the
most affected of the devastating effects of large-scale and corporate mining”. “We are happy with the ordinance,” she said. “Indigenous peoples from all over the country cheer Duterte’s stance on mining. We are very happy that Davao City has declared an audacious mining ban despite the goons and guns of mining corporations,” she said. According to Malayao, the Cordillera region has mining applications “that
threaten many communities of indigenous peoples”. These applications cover almost 1.8 million hectares, while 20 large-scale mining corporations are operating in Caraga, covering up to 534,540.22 hectares. “The worst mining disaster in the Philippine history has happened in Cordillera with the Philex Mining spill. Caraga’s rich mineral lands are plundered relentlessly by corporate mining in expense of the people and the environ-

What to do with China?
I talked on the phone last Saturday with Zambales Gov. Hermogenes “Jun” Ebdane who was a colleague in the Arroyo Cabinet. He has set up a high-tech coastal watch monitoring system in his province, in cooperation with a Canadian firm, to spot foreign vessels intruding into his provincial territorial limits. This is clearly aimed at China which has started shooing away Zambales fishermen from the Panatag or Scarborough shoals, around only 230 kilometers from Masinloc town. What the Philippine government intends to do if China indeed intrudes into our claimed territorial waters, I have no idea as yet. Over the weekend, a team of foreign journalists visited Masinloc as part of their study tour on the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) issues. They belong to various international news organizations as Jefferson Fellows under the auspices of the East West Center based in Honolulu, Hawaii and skippered in their Philippine trip by EWC’s Ms.
Advocacy Mindanao
Jess Dureza Ann Hartman. ***** WATER CANNONED -- I missed joining the team of journalists on their Zambales visit as they came right smack into the annual media forum of the Philippine Press Institute that I had to host, PPI also being the local partner of the Fellows’ visit. Fortunately, my longtime “girl Friday” Charmaine Olea joined in my behalf and she reported how Masinloc fishermen aired their anger at losing their livelihood. This was the group of fishermen who were driven away from their usual fishing grounds by
the Chinese using water cannons. They were terribly missing the protective presence of the US bases, according to “Cha”, and they (including the local LGUs) seemed not in the loop on what Malacanang is doing. I suspect Gov. Jun being not with the Liberal Party is the reason why. ***** CHINA -- The way things are shaping up and if things are not properly handled, our country is on a collision course with China in our territorial dispute. I remember having a chat sometime ago with the previous Chinese lady Ambassador Ma. She was stressing a more effective way of settling issues among neighbors, the Asian way. Although we need to go to an international body like the United Nations to seek redress on a multilateral basis, we ought to have opened up also a parallel, backchannel route on a bilateral basis. President Ramos again called for “back-channel” direct contacts.
Why this was not done up to now, I still cannot understand. Fact is, we cannot go to war with other countries, much more with China. Lest we all forget: we all have Chinese blood in our veins. And yes, sorry to say, we are no match to China militarily. ***** PAPAL MAGIC -- I read a report earlier this week that Cuban President Raul Castro, a communist and brother of famous Fidel Castro, after meeting with Pope Francis, said that that he was “returning” to the Catholic Church. Cuba although a next door neighbor of the US has been an “enemy” of the US for half a century. It was through the recent facilitation and assistance of the Pope that both countries resumed diplomatic relations. As a result the 50-year economic blockade of Cuba that practically isolated it to the world, was lifted by the US. Papal magic at work. ***** “HAVING STOMACH” -- Elections is just 12 See CHINA, page A23
Mar Roxas still best LP bet in 2016
LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority…” (Hebrews 13:17, the Holy Bible). -oooMAR ROXAS STILL BEST LP BET IN 2016: I am someone who sincerely believes that Secretary Mar Roxas is still the best, and most qualified, candidate for the presidency of the Liberal Party for the 2016 elections, given his educational qualifications, his vast experience in government, and his undoubted personal financial wealth. Yes, he is lagging in surveys, and many people inexplicably do not seem to regard him as a good material as president of this country, but, the truth is that Mar Roxas is the kind of president this country sorely needs at this point. I am confident that, given the right media and public relations campaign highlighting his fitness and capability to become president, people can be made to vote for him. And why would Mar Roxas be a good candidate for president of LP in 2016? First, it is clear that despite his long stint with different departments of government, from the legislative to the
Kakampi mo ang batas
Atty. Batas Mauricio
executive, he and his family have not been directly or personally involved in any corrupt dealing, or in any government transaction tainted with graft. -oooMAR THOROUGHLY PREPARED FOR PRESIDENCY: Sure, there have been talks about corruption among officials of the agencies he had the privilege of heading in the past, but it is clear the talks revolved only around those officials, not reaching Mar Roxas in any way. This is stupendous, as far as I am concerned, and could only indicate that Roxas did not have anything to do with those officials’ transactions. Second, Mar is thoroughly prepared academi-
cally, particularly in the field of finance and economics. He took up his elementary and high school courses at the Ateneo De Manila University. He then attended the Wharton School of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania, where he obtained a degree of economics in 1979. Third, Mar is an accomplished politician. At age 35, he became the representative of the first district of Capiz. Showing his leadership capabilities, he easily became the majority leader of the House of Representatives. In 2004, Roxas became senator, garnering 19 million votes, which was the highest ever garnered by any national candidate in any Philippine election. -oooMAR’S COMPETENCE A L R E A DY P R O V E N : Fourth, Mar Roxas has already proven his competence with the laws he crafted, such as RA 8759 (which established an office in every town and city to help Filipinos look for jobs) and RA 7880 (which ensured fair distribution of education funds to help the youth of all provinces pursue their studies) and is credited for 43 bills and
46 resolutions in the 13th Congress, designed to fight smuggling, and support labor, education, economy and alternative energy. Then, as secretary of trade and industr y, he sought the development of town markets or the “palengke” of every town and city as the basic unit of the economy and the root of progress, pursuing not only consumer welfare and protection but also sound trade and investment policies. I can go on and on here, but my point is this: is there anyone else in the LP that could at least equal these achievements of Mar Roxas? With due respect, even with those who are now being considered as more popular than Mar cannot even approximate his least capabilities. Mar should be given a chance to prove himself now! -oooREACTIONS?

Senate not going to race vs time on BBL— Marcos Z AMBOANGA City The Philippine Senate may not be able to get right on schedule the passage of its own version of the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL before both Houses of Congress go on recess next month, but it will make sure to get the right BBL that is beyond any constitutional infirmities. S e n at o r Fe r d i n a n d “Bongbong” E. Marcos Jr. made the statement here yesterday when he presided over the Senate public hearing on BBL conducted jointly by the Committee on Local Government, which he chairs, the Committee on Peace, Unification and Reconciliation, and the Committee on Constitutional Amendments. “Our priority is not to get BBL passed right on schedule, but to get BBL right by addressing all issues concerning its legality, constitutionality and enforceability,” Sen. Marcos said, stressing that his committee has been going around Mindanao for series of public hearings on BBL precisely to hear and listen to voices and sentiments of
Senators Bongbong Marcos and Peter Cayetano spearhead the Senate hearing on the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law in Zamboanga Thursday.

the people of Mindanao. For his part, Senator Allan Peter Cayetano, who joined the public hearing, pointed out his position not against the proposed BBL itself but against its provisions that do not conform to the Philippine Constitution. He cited for instance the
right to self-determination, national security and equity as among the issues he wanted clarified before passing the BBL. Both Marcos and Cayetano claimed that because of their rigorous scrutiny of the BBL they have been unfairly, wrongly and unjustly accused of being anti-BBL and anti-Muslim. “But we are not (that). I am not against BBL neither am I anti-Muslim, because if I were then I would not
have to conduct these public hearings. I could just have ignored it,” Sen. Marcos explained. “Precisely our objective and priority here in public hearings this one is to make sure that we pass and have a BBL that is right, a BBL that will lead to achieving lasting peace in Mindanao, an a BBL that will be able to realize the dreams and aspirations of the people of Mindanao,” Marcos added.

Zambo Sur consumers complain of excessive charges despite daily brownout
PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur -- The City Council has summoned the officials of the Zamboanga del Sur Electric Cooperative-1 (Zamsureco-1) for a dialogue to shed light on the sudden increase in consumers’ electric bills despite the long hours of rotational brownout daily. C ouncilor Arnold Gavenia, chairman of the committee on public utility, initiated the move through a resolution following receipt of numerous complaints about sudden increase of electric bills from the Zamsureco-1 memberconsumers despite the imposition of eight to 10 hour daily rotational brownout. Gavenia said the Zamsureco-1 officials are summoned to appear before the City Council during its regular session on Tuesday, May 19, to shed light on the matter. Also invited to appear on Tuesday are the Zamsureco-1 complainant
member-consumers as well as other concerned stakeholders. “The complaint of the member-consumers should be acted upon immediately by the august body so that Zamsureco-1 can explain what is really happening, why there is an increase in the electric bills,” Gavenia said. He said most of the complainants cited their latest electric bills have increased by as much as 25 percent compared from their previous billing when the daily rotational brownout has not yet been imposed. The cause of the daily rotational brownout is the decline of power supply from the Mindanao grid. G av e n i a s ai d t h e m e mb e rs - c ons u m e rs were also dismayed since the Zamsureco-1 did not properly addressed their complaints during the week-long Municipal Annual General Membership Assembly (MAGMA) 2015 called by electric cooperative.

Globe widens rollout of SingleSON solution
Network now ‘future-ready’ with nationwide deployment FURTHER bolstering its modernized broadband wireless network, Globe Telecom said that it is progressively rolling out the adoption of the new SingleSON solution in the entire country, which will provide for a highlyintelligent infrastructure, leading to an overall enhanced user experience for the telco’s 46 million mobile customers. The telco will start to deploy SingleSON on its LTE cells as base software and will be the critical solution to integrate 2G, 3G and LTE together and have them work seamlessly across the technologies. According to the network’s technical executives, the nationwide commercial rollout is earmarked to be completed before the third quarter of 2015, with new features being developed to further improve SingleSON solution, leading to an overall enhanced Globe customer experience. “The adoption of the SingleSON in the entire Globe network nationwide will empower us to effectively manage a more complex network and deliver on our promise of superior customer experience. SingleSON allows automatic near-real time diagnostics of our mobile broadband network and optimizing it intelligently. From the point of view of Globe, it means less resources needed to man-

the explosive growth and expansion of mobile data services traffic which is foreseen to continue in the coming years.” According to Estrada, the SingleSON solution effectively covers the entire lifecycle of networks as it is designed for automation to provide efficiency and im-
prove network performance. Its main characteristics in terms of O&M consist of self-configuration, self-optimization and self-healing. Likewise, it is also capable of supporting equipment from other vendors. It is powered by a SONMaster as the core product and engine which detects coverage problems
and adjusts radio frequency parameters automatically. The telco recently announced that as the first in the world to employ Huawei Technologies’ SingleSON in its modernized mobile broadband infrastructure. The SingleSON, or the selforganizing network solution, provides Globe with an intelligent, future-proof wireless broadband network which ultimately translates to a wonderful customer experience. The solution was recently tested live on the Globe mobile broadband network and is the largest commercial deployment thus far for SingleSON. According to Globe, the performance of the solution achieved remarkable results and exceeded expectations with immediate improvement on both drop call rates as well as users’ throughput. It also showed better mobile broadband traffic management & sharing of radio resources between layers and technologies. To ensure ca lls are handed over properly, the Globe network is currently managing a total of 1.2 million neighbor relationships to date, which in three years’ time will grow to 2.1 million. Next steps for the SingleSON rollout, according to Estrada, are to incorporate for commercially use the energy saving and intelligent interference management features of its modernized mobile broadband network.

Rufus Bill seeks P1b to fortify ‘Kalayaan Island’ By CRIS DIAZ, Executive Editor
CAGAYAN de Oro City––Two lawmakers have filed a bill seeking Php 1 billion to fortify and improve the existing structures in the Kalayaan (Freedom) group of Islands in the Western Philippines Sea. Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, of Cagayan De Oro City and Party List Rep. Maximo Rodriguez, Jr. of the Abante Mindanao, said that at present various countries, particularly China have built strong fortifications and military structures in the Islands surrounding the Kalayaan Islands. In filing the House Bill No. 4167, the lawmakers argued that Kalayaan is a fifth class municipality in the province of Palawan in the Philippines inhabited by about 400 town people. The lawmakers said that the government has to build more structures and fortify the defense of the island, including the islands surrounding it, in order to strengthen the claim and protect the country’s sovereignty. At present, the Kalayaan Island has a 1.3 - kilometer airstrip used by the military and the civilians. “There is a need to repair the Rancudo airfield along with the construction of a safe harbor in the island,” the lawmakers said. Aside from solidifying the country’s claim of the territory within the 200 nautical mile limit from the shoreline, the construction of the structures in the Kalayaan Islands would also improve the tourism industry of the Island, the proposed bill said.

Uratex-SIXINCH partnership brings creativity and ingenuity Uratex Foam Philippines, the country’s leading manufacturer and distributor of foam, brings creativity and ingenuity into its products, with its new partnership with SIXINCH, the Belgian foam powerhouse that has redefined the application of the material among users. This partnership has led to the establishment of Six Inch Philippines, Inc., a joint venture between RGC/Uratex Group of Companies and Sixinch Design B.V.B.A. Six Inch Philippines, Inc. will start commercial operations by July 2015. Since its establishment in Belgium in 2003, SIXINCH captured the imagination of designers, artists, architects, and office personnel and home owners alike who want comfort, flexibility, as well as exquisite artistry in their individual spaces. Its founders, Pieter Jamart and Michel Sels, believed in making foam, which is often used for mattresses, sofas, chairs and coaches, as a platform to develop creative designs that can bring a refreshing yet efficient look to the average office, living room, or study room. In their hands, foam technology, properly used, paints a bright array of
colors that brings an atmosphere of dynamism into the concerned space. The typical lounging chair is suddenly infused with a flexibility that is designed to provide rest and support to various parts of the user’s body, making him relax to a greater degree. Rugs, carpets, and chairs blend with a softness that brings serenity and yet with an overall design that evokes passion and artistry. Normal fabric and upholstery become flexible, waterproof, and seamless. SIXINCH furniture is padded with high density foam where cushioning is required, then sprayed directly with a unique flexible coating. All these create smooth and seamless pieces using the consistency of one material. Jamart explains the vision of his company which is very popular in the European Union, Japan, the United States, and Russia: “SIXINCH pertains to the six inches trapped between our ears. Our brains and mental power unleash all sorts of creativity to such an intensity that we can realize our dreams when it comes to the appearance and design of the many places where we live and

do business. We are only bound by our imagination.” Sels explains why they chose Uratex as their partner in the Philippines, “Uratex holds the same values: the passion for excellence, the importance of research and innovation, that uncanny ability to anticipate what the customer needs and provide him the best service and product possible. Uratex’s leadership in Southeast Asia including the Philippines complements the network of services we have established in Europe.” Bigboy Cheng, Uratex’s Public Relations Director who will soon assume the post of President of Six Inch Philippines, Inc. enthuses, “SIXINCH’s presence in the Philippines will certainly attract the Filipino user who has an undying thirst for innovation and creativity, especially as far as our workspaces and living spaces are concerned. We are proud of this partnership TRINITY Designed by Pieter Jamart- one of the designers of because the best technologies in the world can now SIXINCH

combine the utmost comfort that our foam represents with the unique artistry that SIXINCH is widely acclaimed for.” Mr. Cheng brings both his business acumen and passion for the arts to his leadership role. He is known both as an artist and an advocate of modern art. His Secret Fresh toys have infused into the element of
play eye-catching designs that empower children and the young at heart to gain further appreciation of aesthetics. His Ronac Art Gallery in Ortigas Center has become the showcase for emerging talents to launch their careers or reach a wider audience. “Expect the Philippine landscape of foam technology and user comfort to be
transformed in the following months,” promises Mr. Cheng. “I speak both as a businessman, an artist, and a consumer. When creativity fuses with technology and an acute understanding of what the customer wants, something unique, appealing and long-lasting is born. Expect great things from the partnership of Uratex and SIXINCH.”

Overcoming Reading Difficulties among Grade School Pupils
Common problems affecting student performance By Evelyn R. Magallanes Teacher II Bonifacio Central School District Bonifacio East District Division of Misamis Occidental
Education is a right of an individual. Through learning, he can be successful and can be someone he want to be. Schooling is the first step of these. In the Philippines, education is one of strategies in order to improve lives of individuals. However, along this strategies are several cases on poor schooling performance among students, such as dropouts. This student performance has roots that even in these times
are subject of studies and researches. Lack of interest in subjects and even in schooling is considered one of the reasons. A student’s interest would be lessen if he has other priorities that compete for their time and attention. For young ones, these include gaming or outdoor activities. As known, such activities are addicting, encouraging them to prioritize such than their studies. Another reason is that a student does not perceive the classroom climate as supportive. In situation like this, a student could find his self alone. He then feel that he don’t have a
space for other people’s attention, discouraging him to attend school. Individual could also be demotivated through different structure and allocation of rewards in the classroom, causing him to lack interest in entering a subject or a school. Problems like physical, mental, or other personal problems could also affect motivation in going to school. The person having problems like this may felt suffocated that demotivates him to do other important things such as schooling. In order for plans to be achieved, one should be determined enough. In order to gain learn-
ing, a student should push his self to study a particular lesson or subject. He should focus his self and interest in his studies in order to achieve the target. In addition to that, one of a teacher’s role is to do planning and a lot of thinking in order to gain interest among his class. Afterall, he has the control and the one who can motivate and drive students to listen and participate in classes. A good amount of motivation is a big part in search of knowledge. In order to achieve a goal, one should be motivated enough.

Gaining knowledge is a complex task. Just like it, reading is found challenging for children especially on early grade levels. There are determined reading problems among pupils. It is also important for teachers or parents to understand the source of reading problem of each child in order for it to be addressed. The child might not recognize start or end sounds. Many children know their letter sounds, but cannot recognize these sounds when trying to sound out words. He cannot spell the word. While there are a number of spelling rules, conventions and exceptions that take time to learn, spelling in the early
grades is only a concern if regular, phonetic words are misspelled. Spelling is a key decoding skill. The child resists reading. Many children with reading difficulties start to resist reading out loud to their parents, and become easily distracted in reading times in school. He might not find reading an enjoying activity. Many students do not enjoy reading for any reason - text books, assigned texts, novels, newspapers, and magazines. These are just part of several sources of reading problems among pupils. Parents and teachers play big role in determining the reason behind a child’s difficulties in reading. Once it is determined, the teacher will directly know where to focus, in order for the child to learn reading easier.

The rigor and the heavy burden that a candidate and an elected official for public office must experience to win -- and then serve if elected -- are principally the reasons why only a few good men, who “have the stomach” venture into politics. Yes, there are blessings in many forms but, take it from me, there’s “life after politics.” When public officials refuse to dismount or they consider politics as a lifetime career or claim it as their own birthright or consider themselves (or their kin) as God’s gifts to mankind, that’s where the problem lies. I’ve been there before, folks. So I know! ***** BANGSAMORO --- The crucial vote on the BBL in Congress, both in the House and in the Senate and its final fate will be known in due time. Congress is bent on removing some provisions that were subject, I am sure, to intense negotiations over the years. Mind you, during my time as peace negotiator, even a word or a comma, could be a serious bone of contention. I now worry that the milestones that both government and MILF achieved will be put to naught in one single sweep when the final version is passed. This is a repeat of Congress “writing its own peace agreement” as what Misuari’s faction complained about before. In fact, up to now, MNLF still complains about the alleged non-implementation of the original Tripoli Agreement
signed in 1976 during Marcos time. ***** NO MORE WAR ?-- Fast forward today. While Congress now talks of major revisions, MILF keeps saying that they will not accept a “watered-down” BBL. But at the same time, MILF hurriedly says they will not go back to war again. To me, this sounds more like an early warning that while MILF may not accept Congress’ own version, they will still continue their struggle through peace negotiations to get their “non-negotiable” concessions at another time, perhaps beyond the Aquino administration. Of course, the so-called “rogue elements”, the BIFF and other armed groups that MILF disclaims links with, will do their own thing. Anyway, things will come to a head soon. Whatever is the final outcome of all this, the fact remains that the work for peace is a never-ending journey. ***** JOURNALISM AWARDS -- The Philippine Press Institute this week honored the winners of the annual 2014 Civic Community Journalism Press Awards during appropriate ceremonies at the Diamond Hotel in Manila.

pers there. By Sunday morning, Emano accompanied Binay to the former mayor’s weekly radio program at 95.7 Mellow Touch. After that, the former mayor “turned over” the vice president to Pelaez so he could begin his municipal hops. Even without the vice president, Pelaez is immensely popular in Misamis Oriental. In June, he will deliver to the various public elementary and high schools all over the province four container vans worth of books. This early, Pelaez is encouraging teachers to lend the books to their students and bring them home. “Books are not meant to be library decorations. This must be read by the students so that our children will become globally competent education-wise,” he said.

According to a press release from the PPI, Dureza, former Press Seretary and now publisher of Mindanao Times in Davao City challenged publishers and editors to make newspapers a catalyst for change. “That is civic journalism.

Indeed, no one is expecting that out of BWM, another paper will be borne, the Mindanao Daily News. A few months after the BWM celebrated its firstyear anniversary, Mr. Sudaria thought of coming out another paper that will also provide the readers the needed news and information, opinion, and entertainment apart from the business news that the BWM provides. In early 2011, another daily paper came out, but was in magazine form. It was named Mindanao Daily Balita or (MDB)—and is published in multi-lingual dialects; Cebuano, English, and Filipino. From the magazine form, MDB has evolved into a tabloid-size newspaper. The editorial board–– with the permission of the publishers––then decided to change the nameplate of the paper from MDB to MDN or Mindanao Daily News on May 18, 2011– and expanded the MDN’s circulation from Cagayan de Oro to some parts of Mindanao. Today, the Mindanao Daily News is circulating regional-wide. Copies of the paper are sent to Mindanao’s regional centers for distributions; Butuan City in Caraga region; Cagayan de Oro in Northern Mindanao (Northmin), Davao City in Davao region; and the cities of Pagadian and Zamboanga in Western Mindanao. The paper is also circulating in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Armm)—and in some parts of Southern Mindanao. “The digital copies of Mindanao Daily News can also be accessed through our website http://www. mindanaodailynews.com and social networking service Facebook,” Mr. Sudaria said. “We see-to-it that after midnight, all the pages of the Mindanao Daily News are uploaded and readable online.” It can also be accessed through any android phones which have Internet connections. “We cannot capture Mindanao readerships in a wink of an eye, we will do it slowly,” said Mr. Sudaria. “What is important is that we do our role as catalyst for change, provide the venue where the weak can freely express their opinion.” We grow minds Mr. Sudaria has appointed Mr. Joe Del Puerto Felicilda as training director and head of the BWM Training Center. “Mindanao Daily News is not just about providing the latest information, opinion, and entertainment,” said Mr. Sudaria adding, “we also grow minds through lectures and seminars on journalism.” In 2013, Mr. Felicilda led the team of Mindanao Daily News to train government information officers in Caraga region on news writing, photojournalism
and proper conduct of news conference. In his speech delivered by PIA-Caraga Regional Operations Chief Nora Molde, Philippine Information Agency (PIA) 13 Director Abner Caga emphasized that as government information officers, there is a need for them to be regularly updated in order to deliver the news and information of their respective agencies to the public in an accurate, relevant and timely manner. “We should always remember that no matter how good our press release is, in as far as the technicality is concerned, it is still useless if our write-ups will not be published in newspapers; posted in websites, blogs, and other social networking sites. This means that (news and information) cannot reach our target audience,” Caga said. Meanwhile, Nida Grace Tranquilan, PIA-Surigao del Sur Information Center manager, said the training is very appropriate to government information officers since additional inputs were given by the speakers more particularly in the conduct or facilitating news/press conference. “I am privileged to have attended the training since the speaker has given new inputs that will benefit me because I am regularly facilitating the conduct of press conferences in my area of responsibility,” she said. Journalism awards The Mindanao Daily News, in an effort to recognize campus journalists, government communicators and private company corporate writers, has also partnered with the Philippine Press Institute, the national association of newspaper, in its seach for Journalism Excellence. An initiative of Mindanao Daily News Editor in Chief Mr. Allan Mediante said The journalism award is the first ever organized search for the best writers in various categories dubbed as — the Northern Mindanao Journalism Excellence Award — by a media entity in cooperation with the Philippine Press Institute; the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro, and Oro Chamber. Supporting the project are Ayala Corporation; Veterans Bank, PPI and Atty. Jesus Dureza; D’Asian Hills Bank; JG Summit Holdings; A Brown Company; FICCO; MinDA, and others.
Mr. Mediante said the contest on various fields of journalism, such as Newswriting, Science Reporting, Feature Writing, Sports Writing, Photojournalism, Business Reporting, and Community Journalism have been conducted already in Malaybalay and Valencia cities. He said top writers from private companies and government offices have been invited for the Government Communicators and Corporate Writers categories on Community Journalism and Business Reporting contests. He added High Schools and Colleges in Cagayan de Oro and Misamis Oriental are expected to field in their Top 5 student journalists in News Writing; Feature Writing, Photo Journalism, Sports Writing and Science Reporting.

connections, most people subscribed because of the promised fast internet signals,” he said. Tabor said that the telecom providers simply tell the subscribers that the upgrades are being done while pleading the usual “sorry for the inconvenience” without really resolving slower internet connections. He said that the city council will pass a resolution after the NTC and telecom companies could provide an enlightened argument of the slow internet connection in a bid to protect the interest of the subscribers here.

member hotels and visitor discounts at all COHARA member restaurants, additional discounts at the mall-wide weekend sales of all major malls, and special package tours and rates from the members of the Cagayan de Oro Travel and Tours Association (COTTA) and Oro Association of Rafters (OAR) offering the city’s famous white water rafting tours.” Should we elicit a positive response for these initiatives from our visitors and private sector industry partners, we would consider extending a similar package of offerings for the two long weekends on August 21-23 and August 28-31 for the Cagayan de Oro City Fiesta Month dubbed “Higalaay Kagayan” festival, Pabayo added.
