NGCP assures stable power supply on election day By LAKAMBINI DIAZ Contributor

CAGAYAN de Oro City -- The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has started implementing contingency plans to ensure a stable power supply days prior to the national and local elections on May 9.

In a statement, the NGCP

said that the power grid is “aligning our efforts with the Department of Energy and the rest of the power industry to ensure a blackout-free May elections.” Beth Ladaga, the NGCP spokesperson, said that as early as February this year, the company has been in close coordination with the Department of Energy to monitor the power outlook on the day of the elections. As System Operator,

NGCP is closely coordinating with generators to ensure sufficient power supply and reserves, Ladaga said. She said that the continuous flow of electricity from generators to distributors through the power grid facilities would benefit customers who depended on the NGCP’s power transmission services.

responsive to any incident that may affect transmission services during the election period. Ladaga said that some of the contingency measures put in place included the suspension of line and equipment maintenance and testing activities two weeks before and one week after election day to make sure that all facilities were on-line and available from See voters, page A9

NGCP Tower 25 bombed for the second time DAVAO City -- The controversial Tower 25 of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) in Ramain, Lanao del Sur was bombed for the second time Tuesday evening, almost two months after it was restored. This was confirmed by Milfrance Capulong, NGCP spokesperson for Mindanao, in a text message to the media on Thursday. This is the sixth tower bombing incident this year.

Capulong said that the power supply situation was maintained since only the Agus 2 - Kibawe 138kV line was affected unlike in the last Christmas eve bombing on Tower 25 that isolated Agus 1 and Agus 2 hydropower plants. (The Agus 1 and Agus 2’s combined capacity is 260 MW but due to low water inflow caused by the reduction of water levels in Lake Lanao, the two hydropower plants currently supply only 80 MW.) The entire Agus-Pu-

langui Hydro Power Complex, comprised of seven plants – Agus 1, Agus 2, Agus 4, Agus 5, Agus 6, Agus 7, and Pulangui 4 – has a total installed capacity of 982 MW, the major source of power in Mindanao as of yet. The series of attacks on NGCP towers paved the way for the creation of the Interagency Task Force on Securing Energy Facilities (ITFSEF) in Februar y 2016 that facilitated the repair works on Tower 25 last March 5. Repair was completed on March 14.

This was af ter t he Regional Trial Court of Lanao del Sur ordered owners Johny Sambitory, Intan Sambitory, and Naguib Sambitory to allow NGCP personnel access to the damaged tower. “In its bid to ensure uninterrupted delivery of power transmission services, particularly during the May 9 national and

local elections, NGCP energized the crucial Agus 2-Baloi 138kV line after clearing right-of-way obstructions,” Capulong said. “NGCP is pleased to report that at 7 p.m. of May 3, we have successfully energized the Agus 2-Baloi line after invoking the COMELEC Resolution and with the assistance of

government and law enforcement agencies during the clearing operations,” confirmed NGCP. Capulong said that it was only one of eight lines identified “as critical in Mindanao that continue to be plagued by uncooperative land claimants demanding exorbitant amounts.” (Antonio L.

Weighing the benefits of senior high school in the Philippines By Cornelio F. Petalcorin Principal Banlag Integrated School Valencia City

Many were aghast upon knowing that there will be an additional years of studies to be added to the student’s schooling. To the parents’ mind it would implies an added years of sacrifices because of expenses. Yes, be that as it may. But this merits us to knowing the facts of the entire programs. We should delve deeper as what are the advantages and disadvantages of k to 12? Questions that have no direct answers and yet it needed an explanation. K to 12 programs is this year implemented in the whole Philippines. Lots of people were happy to hear that news while on the other hand there are also parents who are very disappointed.

In implementing k to 12 programs it will result to high tuition rates as the Department of Education (DepEd). Tuition rates are set to increase by as much as 29% according to (DepEd) the implementation of k to 12 allowed private school to increase their tuition rates and further burden to the parents with other questionable fees. In private elementary and high schools their tuition amount is about P35, 000 to more than 100,000 a year according to Vencer Crisostomo, Anak Bayan National Chairperson. He added many schools are now imposing questionable fees using requirement for Senior High Buildings, Modules, and Trainings.

But on the hand k to 12 and the added two years is worth of sacrifice. The unemployment rates will decrease, because the k to 12 programs makes sure that high school graduates is eligible for many jobs that previously required a two-year college degree. The extra also gives more time for students to think of what to become as a member of society. And k to 12 also helps reducing the number of students shifting due to lack of contentment in the course he/she picked and in school. The graduates of the k to 12 programs will already be equipped to join the workforce right away with the help of the electives that is offered during grades 11 to 12. So the choice is up to the students if they will go to college or land a job right after they graduate.

Duties and responsibilities of a Master Teacher By NORMA A. ANINAO Teacher III Bonifacio Central School Bonifacio East District Division of Misamis Occidental

Political Ad Paid for by Dr. Ferddie Miranda

A master teacher must facilitate learning in the elementary or secondary school that he or she is assigned through functional lesson plans, daily log activities and appropriate, adequate and updated instructional materials. In this digital age, the instructional materials must either be in print or non-print. The master teacher must also monitor, assess and evaluate the progress of all the pupils in that school.

He or she must undertake activities to improve performance indicators because the school is in competition not just with other public schools within the Division but include private ones as well. The master teacher must also update pupil records, update the parents on the pupils’ progress regularly. That’s because all pupils in elementary and secondary schools in the country are still minors and under the guardianship of their parents. The master teacher must also supervise curricular and co-curricular projects and activities in

the school, counsels and guides pupils, conducts action research, maintains cleanliness, orderliness, safety and upkeep of the classroom and participates in staff development activities gained from seminars, trainings and scholarships. Seminars are indeed important because they provide more insights on how to run the school. Aside from that, the master teacher is also expected to maintain harmonious relationship with fellow teachers and other school personnel as well as parents and other stakeholders. Thus, he or she must not be bossy and must instead show motivation to both teachers and parents.

Half a dozen miracles Part 1

Last month during the holy season of Lent, my son and I decided to attend the 5:30pm mass at the Cathedral. We followed our usual route in going to the church. We were on time with our schedule. But as we neared it, we were dismayed to find that the road was blocked. So we decided to try another route. The traffic crawled to a snail’s pace. I knew we were going to be late. I consoled myself with the thought that better a short visit with the Lord, than none at all. As we neared the church, we were aghast that this road was again closed. The traffic officer said only priests can enter. Oblivious to his warning, we signaled that we wanted to enter. Imagine our surprise when the guy manning the barricade opened it and allowed us to pass. Amazing! I considered it our first miracle. But as we cruised near the Cathedral, our hearts sank. The place was full of vehicles and we had nowhere to park. Surely the Lord did not tease us with

a miracle, only to snatch it away quickly? Before the question was yet to be formed, a parked car in front of us slowly backed out and sped away. It conveniently left a vacant space for us to park smoothly. This was no ordinary coincidence. I could almost hear the flapping of angel’s wings as this divine attendant choreographed our parking. Unbelievable! In a span of a few minutes, we received our second miracle. I knew we lost a lot of time navigating our entrance and parking. I expected the mass to be well on its way and that we were late. But lo and behold, the mass haven’t started yet. The priests were still at the entrance and just beginning their procession to the altar. I learned it is a Chrism mass, which is the blessing of consecrated oil, and the renewal of vows of the priests. Being a significant event, the schedule of the mass was moved to 30 minutes later. Instead of being late, it turned out we were just on time. Serendipity! We were bestowed our third miracle. Since this is a special

mass, the church was bursting to the seams with the devout faithful. I scoured the place for an empty seat to squeeze in, but not even a needle can fit in. It was tight and standing-room only. My mind was churning apprehensively. This is going to be a long mass, and I will be standing throughout the entire proceeding. The temperature is uncomfortably hot. Oxygen is scarce. Can I withstand this tribulation? Since it was the holy season of Lent, I thought of Jesus’ painful passion on Calvary. This thought gave me the answer to my problem. I will offer my

True election-related jokes: xxx Years ago, a prominent resident of our district, accompanied the wife of a front-running senatorial candidate during a campaign sortie in Alabang. The candidate was part of a political coalition group to which I belonged so I was obliged to attend the meeting. As part of a name-recall exercise, the emcee called to the stage five attendees and they were asked to shout out loud the name of the candidate whom they would vote for. For their participation, the lucky rallyists were given t-shirts bearing the likeness and the name of the candidate. Everything was going well until one of the participants was asked: “Sino ang iboboto mo bilang senador?” The participant answered…… “Si (name) po.”

insignificant, trifling suffering in union with His immense agony on the cross. I was consoled that I had found a little token of pain in company with Jesus. I closed my eyes and wholeheartedly worshipped God in the mass. After a short while, I opened my eyes and saw the familiar young beggar. He is a regular recipient of my charity and has become my friend. He was determinedly headed in my direction. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was bringing a precious chair for me to sit on. Heaven-sent! It was our fourth miracle. I realized that God sent me the chair only after I have passed my little test on suffering. When I accepted my tribulation and offered it to Him, the chair appeared. Awesome God! I’m not sure if I would have survived the mass without the chair. My son was feeling faint himself, and without the chair, he doubted if we would have endured. The beggar’s thoughtfulness touched me to the core. Unknowingly, he brought See suan, page A9

To maximize their exposure, I assigned all the candidates who were running as councilors in my ticket to introduce one senatorial candidate each. Because of time constraints, each senatorial candidate was allotted by rally organizers only 5 minutes to speak on stage. When their turn was up, one of my re-electionist councilors, Konsehal Noli Diaz, took hold of the mike to introduce Health Secretary Juan Flavier. Diaz apparently thoroughly researched on Flavier and practically narrated Flavier’s life history. In the end, Flavier stood up, took the mike and said: “Salamat Konsehal Diaz sa magandang introduction mo. Pero sa haba ng introduction mo, inubos mo naman yung 5 minutes ko.

Think a minute…about love. It makes the world go around, right? The problem is that there doesn’t seem to be much going around! Most of us know that to love and be loved is what life is all about. So why is there so little real love in the world? Why have so many of us not learned how? How do I learn to love? It’s simple: until I have been truly loved by someone else, I don’t know how to truly love others. I know what you’re thinking: “No one has ever loved me like that! I mean really loved me all the time without conditions, just as I am.” Even our parents and spouse many times fail to love us that way. So how can I ever learn to love? I’ve got some very good news for you. Someone already has loved you like that! You just didn’t know it. We learn to love by seeing God’s love for us in Jesus Christ. Jesus loves you without conditions. No person in history has lived with such a perfect kind of love for others has Jesus

ARMM tops 2nd round of national de-worming campaign MARAWI CIT Y, Lanao del Sur -- The Department of Health’s (DOH) central office awarded the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) as the most improved region in terms of coverage of the national de-worming campaign’s second round held in January this year. The ARMM de-wormed 98% of its target, or over one million school and community-based children, elevating the region on top of the government’s drive that focuses on children’s health. De-worming is done twice a year, the first round in July of every year. Soraida Amilil, regional program coordinator and deputy infectious disease cluster head, said “this is the first time that the DOH central office recognized the region in a de-worming period, and it is because of the continuous effort of the DOH-ARMM.” Amilil underscored the importance of the drive, which is aimed at combating the nutritional impact of soil-transmitted helminthiasis, a type of helminth infection caused by roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms. During the de-worming drive, children aged one to four and five to 12 are given a single dose of chewable 400-milligram albendazole anti-worm tablets by school nurses and community health workers. DOH-ARMM’s report showed a total of 343,885 children aged one to four and 135,716 aged five to 12 in communities received de-worming tablets. It further noted 568,076 children enrolled in public

elementary schools were also served during the campaign period. The DOH assured that, just like other medication, de-worming drugs may lead to nominal side effects such as dizziness, nausea, headache and vomiting. These effects are transient, minor, self-limiting and would disappear after some time and can easily be managed with remedies like resting for a few hours and drinking water mixed with sugar. Seeking to bring down the prevalence rate of worm infestation among children to less than 20% in 2014, the region’s Health department conducted parasite prevalence survey in the provinces of Basilan, TawiTawi and Lanao del Sur. The result of the survey showed 36.7% of school children aged six to12 in the region are suffering from this problem. “Hopefully, with the efforts of our department (DOH-ARMM), we can lower the number of children suffering from worm infestation,” she said. She further said that de-worming can substantially improve the health and school participation of children and can reduce absenteeism. The campaign will also help address other health problems among children such as anaemia, malnutrition and impaired mental and physical development. Prior to giving the prescribed dosage, school nurses and health workers informed the parents on the importance of the campaign specifically in improving the general health of the children.

Filipino tourist arrivals in Guam up 125% after CEB enters market May 6, 2016 – The only low-cost carrier operating between the Philippines and Guam, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), is encouraged by recent statistics from the Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB) indicating that the Philippines is one of its fastest growing sources of visitor arrivals. Philippine visitors to Guam grew by 125% in March 2016, compared to the same month last year. This led to the second best March in Guam’s tourism history, with 133,335 visitor arrivals – just a few notches behind March 2013 with 136,728 visitors recorded. Total visitor arrivals for March 2016 rose 0.8% year-on-year. These figures follow on the heels of CEB’s entry into the market, with the launch of four times weekly flights between Manila and Guam this March. “This is another demonstration of the ‘Cebu Pacific effect.’ By making air travel more affordable, we help boost tourism into the destinations we fly to,” said Alex Reyes, CEB General Manager for Long Haul Division. “We are proud to have contributed to the healthy surge in visitor arrivals into Guam, our first U.S. destination.” Passengers wishing to go to Guam may take advantage of CEB’s one-way, all-in fares for as low as PHP 7,212. Hot meals, seats with extra legroom, and baggage allowance, among others, are options that can be added to the fare. Guests can make the most out of the summer months by taking part in the annual Pacific Asia

Travel Association (PATA) Summit, or the 12th Festival of Pacific Arts which will both commence in Guam this May. CEB’s Guam route operates every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, utilizing the airline’s Airbus A320 fleet. The nonstop service departs Manila at 4:15AM, arriving in Guam at 10:05AM. The return flight departs Guam at 12:20PM, arriving in Manila at 2:05PM. Guam, USA is CEB’s 30th international destination. Aside from Guam, CEB offers flights to a network of more than 90 routes on 64 destinations, spanning Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. The airline’s 57-strong fleet is comprised of 7 Airbus A319, 36 Airbus A320, 6 Airbus A330, and 8 ATR 72-500 aircraft. It is one of the most modern aircraft fleets in the world. Between 2016 and 2021, CEB expects delivery of two more brand-new Airbus A320, 30 Airbus A321neo, and 16 ATR 72-600 aircraft.

Let God intervenes all the times in your life The Gospel of Jesus Christ (May7, 2016- Saturday) Luke5”Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch.” So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish. Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment and threw himself into the sea. But the other

disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish. So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have now caught: Do you easily stop if adversities are blocking your way? Do you consider odds as misfortunes or

as challenges to solve because there are rewards at the end? The greater odds signify to the greater rewards afterwards. Do not quit along the way but persevere until your last breath. Matthew 24:13”But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. On the other hand, the disciples got nothing from their fishing because they did it by their own capacity. The reason for this was; they misunderstood Jesus that

Biblical reflection

was no longer with them. They had forsaken by Jesus although not. It was only their presumptions about Jesus whom they believed and trusted so much. This means that if we will do a certain thing alone, we have nothing unless God intervenes. John 15:5”I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. The good news: when Jesus

was with them, they got more than enough fishes. Therefore, invite God in all your endeavors to make it more fruitful. Let God intervenes all the times in your life because your power is limited while t he power of God is unlimited.

home this sacred truth to me: that no man is so poor that he has nothing to give, and no man is so rich that he has no need to receive. The tiny gestures of generosity I have sown in a poor man’s heart, have blossomed into a fragrant bouquet of gratitude. God’s thoughtful hand transformed the bouquet into a valuable, useful plastic chair. I was humbled to realize that I was not entirely selfsufficient and strong. I was in need of a special kindness, and it could only be satisfied by a beggar’s heart overflowing with gratitude. A few people were disgruntled when they saw the special treatment accorded to me. But in my heart, I knew I earned it. To be continued.

Ako po ay 4 lamang (holding his left hand just above his head) pero 11 naman (lowering his left hand and holding it just in front of his crotch). Kaya hindi ako naiilang sa mga kasama ko sa entablado na puro mga 6’2”. (Laughter) Ang maidadagdag ko na lang: “Lets DOH it.” (Cheering) That was the shortest campaign speech I have ever heard. Flavier did not need to give a long-winded one. His record at the Department of Health spoke for itself. xxx Taxi drivers’ choice…….. On days that my car is on colorcoding, I just take Uber when I need to do some errands. It has become routine for me talk to the driver and ask about his voting preference. There are two types of Uber drivers. One drives his own car during his spare time and has some other source of livelihood. The other drives full-time a car owned by an operator. Consistent with most surveys, the Uber drivers have expressed their preference for front-running candidate Duterte. But the last driver I interviewed said otherwise: “Roxas ho ako. Disente at hindi bastos.” Just before I alighted, I asked the driver: “Saan nga pala kayo boboto?” He shooked his head: “Sayang ho. Hindi ako nakapag-biometric.” xxx When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I’m beginning to believe it. ~Clarence Darrow~ Note: You may email us at totingbunye2000@gmail.com.

Christ did. Real love cannot be done by slogans or songs. They cannot change our self-centered heart and nature. We all want real love, but none of us is able to give it. That’s why Jesus came: to show us what real love looks like. Jesus has given us

the greatest picture and proof of His love for us—by giving His perfectly innocent life for all of our wrongs. So how do you learn to love? Just let Jesus love you. Ask Him to take charge of your heart and life everyday. And as you receive His love and power every day, you’ll start learning how to love others like that; since you’ll always be getting the love you need from Him. Just Think a Minute…

Let us choose candidates who view public service as a means to work for the greater good for our people and not to enrich one-self through the public coffers,” the PEPP said in a statement released late Thursday. The statement was signed by Archbishop Antonio J. Ledesma, S.J., D.D., PEPP co-chair; Bishop Noel A. Pantoja, national president, PCEC; Rev. Fr. Rex B. Reyes Jr., NCCP general secretary; Bishop Deogracias S. Iniguez Jr., D.D., PEPP Head of Secretariat and co-chair of the EBF; and Sr. Mary John M. Mananzan, OSB, AMRSP-Women. But who are these “candidates who will work for just and enduring peace”? The religious leaders, in their statement, identified these candidates as those (1) “who do not only pay lip service to peace but those who have a clear track record of addressing the challenges of social justice and the need for fundamental socio-economic reforms that will address the issues of poverty and inequity – the roots of the armed conflict in the country”; (2) who are supportive of the peace negotiations between the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) and that of the Peace negotiations between the Government of the Philippines and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) as a viable way to solve the situation of unpeace in our midst”; and (3) who show their sincerity to address the roots of the armed conflict – poverty, landlessness, inaccessibility to services and inequitable distribution of resources – especially, even during times when they are not courting our votes.” The PEPP is composed of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP), Association of Major Religious Superiors of the Philippines (AMRSP), Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC), and the Ecumenical Bishops’ Forum (EBF). The religious leaders also called on the electorate to “unite against those who will subvert the people’s democratic will to freely choose our leaders because of grave threats or financial opportunism.” Quoting the Gospel of Matthew chapter 5 verse 9 that says “blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God,” they ecumenical leaders also called on the faithful to “pray and work for a

credible and peaceful elections and safeguard the sanctity of our votes.” “Let our faith in Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, move us as we make our way to the poll centers. We have the power to ensure that peace is at the center of this democratic exercise,” they said. (Bong D. Fabe)

leased during the dialogue, the ministers and senior officials lauded the efforts in identifying potential regional and global supply chain opportunities that promote inclusive growth within EAGA and NT. “This study is extremely relevant as we aim to strengthen EAGA’s trade relations with the NT government,” said Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Undersecretary Prudencio M. Reyes Jr. who represented the Philippines in the dialogue. He explained that the supply chain study supports initiatives under the Plan of Action for BIMP-EAGA and Northern Territory Cooperation for 2016-2020 which identified priority areas of cooperation which include education, trade and investment, tourism, agriculture, connectivity, and health. “Data on the kind of Industry, products, commodities, and services are necessary to actualize the intention to engage business and trade between the two areas to determine the viable routes that could provide direct access for both sea and air transport systems,” said Reyes while adding that “initial outcomes of the study will be presented during the next EAGA and NT Ministerial Meeting.” Apart from the conduct of the supply chain study, which will be supported by key NT organizations such as the Australian Agency for International Development, the complementation for the development of the BIMP-EAGA cattle industry is also being explored. Australia is known for its welldeveloped cattle industry and the country is considered as one of the world’s largest exporters of quality livestock. It exported more than 1.2 million heads of live beef cattle in 2014 valued at over P47. 7 billion FOB. Darwin is the country’s largest live export port with shipments that reached more than 541,000 heads in the same year. Reyes said possible complementation will allow players from the Philippines and EAGA to study and replicate the best practices of NT’s cattle industry. During the dialogue, the Philippine delegation recommended possible partnerships in the establishment of training centers within EAGA on

breeding, pasture management, abattoir operations, and marketing. The move is seen to facilitate exchange of technology among the EAGA member countries and NT. The Philippine delegation to the 4th Darwin Dialogue was composed of Undersecretary Reyes, Director Romeo Montenegro and Jonathan Miral of the Mindanao Development Authority and Charlie Uy of the Philippine Airlines. BIMP-EAGA was established in 1994 to address the socio economic development gaps within and across the sub-region. Ten years after its launch, NT became EAGA’s development partner. It offers vast opportunities for trade and business with BIMP-EAGA particularly in the oil and gas industry, agribusiness, and socio-cultural exchanges due to the two regions’ proximity.

improve our family income through the Sustainable Livelihood Program, an all-in privilege indeed”, she adds. In early days In early days, Mrs. Maribel’s family was challenged after a near-death encounter of her husband who was once a member of the Civilian Volunteer Organization (CVO) most commonly known as “Barangay Tanod” of Barangay San Jose, Mahinog, Province of Camiguin. Accordingly, her husband was stabbed 5 times in vital parts of his body which he has to undergo vigorous surgery to survive. “Isa ka bulan mi nagpuyo sa ospital tungod sa operasyon sa akong bana, ang iyang tambal kulang ang dos mil kada-adlaw, naglisod gyud ko ato unsaon pagbayad sa mga galastuhon (because of his surgery, we were confined in the hospital for a month, his medicines cost two thousand pesos more or less every day, it was devastating considering we do not have enough money to pay for the expenses, I didn’t know how to survive that)”, she narrates. But because of her awareness to DSWD programs, she was able to seek for medical assistance and other support to aid their needs. “Nagpasalamat gyud ko sa DSWD kay wala gyud ko gibalibaliran panahon sa among kalisod, (I was thankful to DSWD because they didn’t fail us in times of our struggle”, she affirms. Moving forward Although Mr. Virtudazo survived the incident, his vital organs was severely weakened that in result he is prohibited to do heavy lifting jobs or any heavy works for that matter. “Pero ang akong bana gadawat gihapon ug ginagmay nga trabaho sa basakan, pangtustos sa among pagkaon kay inadlaw man iyang abot (but my husband now accepts farm labor works on a daily basis or on call basis were he earns a penny just to support our daily need for food”, Maribel says. Given the circumstances, Mrs. Maribel has to look for other source of livelihood, she has to earn as well to support her family. Even though

most of her children has families of their own, she still have four minor children to attend to. Three of her children are being monitored under the Pantawid Pamilya program, this means that their education and health needs are supported under this program. “Dagko gyud ang natabang sa Pantawid Pamilya program sa among pamilya kay tungod, tanang panghinaglanon sa akong mga anak sa eskwelahan gitubag na sa programa, dili na kayo ko mamroblema (I am really grateful to the Pantawid Pamilya program because it helped tremendously my children’s needs in school apart from the health benefits, I don’t have to worry too much on this matter)”, she says. As an added income to her husband, Maribel sells “kakanin” or native Filipino delicacies to their neighborhood.

Roast Beef Sundays at Seda Hotel Centrio L

ast Sunday night was the launch of Misto Restaurant’s “Roast Beef Sundays”. Misto is located at the 4th floor of Seda Centrio. I was there for dinner with my husband, Elmer, and son, Dominic. My family appreciates good food so we always love it when there’s something new in town that could satisfy our cravings and love for food. We met Seda’s new Chef, Alfonso “Funzi” Cortez. He was so smiling and nice to everyone who were there. He introduced himself which actually made us feel at home while having our dinner. Of course, Seda’s F & B Manager, Mike Gayoso, and Communications officer, Angela Pupos, were also there to make sure that we were all having a lovely dinner. Hotel Manager, Noel Barrameda, also dropped by to say hi, as always. What I love with Seda is that they know how to make their

guests feel special. For dinner, we had the delicious Seafood Bisque for our soup. It’s seafood roasted with aromatic herbs and delicately prepared with a subtle touch of flavored cognac. Next was the salad. They served greens fresh from the gardens

of Cagayan de Oro whisked with honey mustard dressing for that perfect tangy finish. It was light and tasty. Then the most awaited part of the meal was the Roast Beef. It’s an Australian Prime Roast Beef cooked to perfection. I always

prefer my beef well done. So, I asked the Chef to make mine well done. Surprisingly, it was still very tender. Love the taste! It was so good especially with their very own gravy and sidings like mashed potato, zucchini, carrots and eggplant. The beef is 250 grams per

serving. Worth the price! If you’re thinking of where to celebrate your Mother’s Day dinner this coming Sunday, then, this would make your family dinner extra special. Roast Beef Sundays is available every Sunday dinner at Misto

for only Php1,350+++ For inquiries and reservation, you can call (088) 323 8888 or (0917) 5775910. More photos from this dinner at my website www. EmpressMichelleFrancisco. com.

Choobi Choobi LimKetKai introduces enhanced dishes Story by MARK FRANCISCO

STAN’S Black Pepper Shrimps. Actress and Choobi Choobi endorser Erich Gonzales could easily answer on which of the wide array of dishes that she enjoys the most. “I really love to eat. In my guestings all over the country, the only memorable resto that I choose is Choobi Choobi. Their dishes have a unique and distinguished blend to them, it makes you crave more and more,” Erich blurted out during her visit at the grand opening of Choobi Choobi in Limketkai Mall. Located at the second level near Shopwise, it is the 15th branch of Choobi Choobi in the country, the second one in Cagayan de Oro. The other outlets are located at SM City Cebu, SM Seaside Cebu, Mabolo,

Pueblo Verde (Lapu-lapu), Robinsons Galleria Cebu, Robinsons Cybergate Cebu, Parkmall Cebu, Mactan Newtown, Capitol, Centrio, Panay Avenue QC, SM City Manila, SM City Iloilo, SM City Bacolod, SM City Sta. Rosa Laguna), SM Lanang Premier and SM City Dasma. In 2016, they will open two more branches. So what makes Choobi Choobi tremendously click after all these years? Operations manager Jose Diaz Jr. has only one simple answer which would confirm Erich’s observation: “People have noticed that our tastes are one of a kind. So they keep on coming back.” The Chesapeake Bay Crab and Shrimp Boil alone is a glimpse of gastronomic paradise. Consisting of ½ pound shrimp and two pieces

crabs that’s good for three persons, the yummy serving will allow you to take taste a glimpse of what Beltway folks in the Capitol Hill and the adjacent state of Maryland. Cruz guaranteed that those lobsters are harvested all the way from Chesapeake Bay. Also served during the grand opening were their Chilean Mussels in a Bag (obviously coming from Chile), Stan’s Fried Black Pepper Shrimp (straight-

iced from their Cebu farm and into the kitchen, topped with their secret Choobi Choobi Sauce), Choobi Crispy Pata (crispy on the outside but soft and juicy on the inside which is what it’s supposed to be) and Tia Tao Miao (fresh and organic snow peas sprouts imported from Taiwan). And dig this! Diaz revealed that Choobi Choobi will open more branches in Cagayan de Oro soon.
