La Viña shapes up PIA, cites MCT initial gains By MARK FRANCISCO
TAGOLOAN, Misamis Oriental, Nov. 30 -- After issuing a marching order to streamline the operations of PHIVIDEC Industrial Authority, Administrator and CEO Jose Gabriel “Pompee” La Viña cited the initial gains of the Mindanao Container Terminal following the resumption of the port of call of a foreign shipping line. M/V Teera Bhum, a foreign cargo vessel operated by Regional Container Lines (RCL) is back and will be calling at the port of MCT tentatively on December 7, 2020. RCL had been paying port calls at the MCT since 2008 but it ceased opera-
M/V Teera Bhum
tions in 2014 due to intense competition with other international shipping lines. “This new development in transshipment of goods and services translate to an increase in port traffic, improve business activity and create more job op-
portunities in the locality placing MCT in a strategic position as a major port of call in the country,” La Viña said. Per record, MCT and the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SMBA) are two See CITES, page 15

This year, he said he top exporters remain China, followed by Asian countries. Some of the exported products are petroleum, goods, and textiles. “Malaki ang epekto ng pandemic,” said Simon, adding “Hindi mo pwede ikumpara ang 2019 sa 2020, but we are trying our best efforts.”

Building a Recession-proof business though Health, Beauty and Wellness
DAVAO CITY, Philippines - In times of pandemic, safety and security for you and your loved ones take utmost precedence. Fortunately, the internet has opened massive opportunities to learn and to apply the knowledge from the safety of your home. We often hear the importance of generating multiple income streams that can positively impact your finances and life quality. With the current scenario of decreased job security and uncertainty in your primary income source, having a secondary income source takes priority and should be pursued with added vigor.
In looking for a secondary source of income, some key points should be considered, especially in these times when movement and interaction are minimal. The source of income must be Flexible, Scalable, Sustainable, and Enjoyable. All these can be found in RED FOOTPRINT, a Stem Cell Therapy center and Business Consultancy organization that aims to share hope and inspiration to people looking to expand their opportunities. A rapidly growing organization, RED FOOTPRINT is also an online training and business hub that helps develop leader-
ship potential through a proven international platform. It allows people to view business from a new perspective and provides them an opportunity to build their own business at their own time and pace. Together with RIWAY INTERNATIONAL’s oral live cell therapy and luxury skincare products, it provides a sustainable incomegenerating business model that can be done online and offline. With the flagship product PURTIER Placenta, which has been dubbed “the Rolls-Royce of health supplements,” RIWAY has created a revolutionary breakthrough in healthcare and exceeded all expectations through extensive research and development.

RED FOOTPRINT has already changed many lives around the country. It’s time we help you change your life, too! The organization has proven that passion and determination, coupled with persistence and vision, can create success! CEO Mr. Rex Bugcalao and his wife Gina Bugcalao started Red Footprint in July 2020, intending to provide a platform for people willing to learn and start their own business during the pandemic. It was Bugcalao’s experience that prodded him
to start the company. He worked with several big companies like Aboitiz Power and Davao Light and Power Company, but after resigning he and his family faced financial difficulties. It came to the point where Rex had to work as a taxi driver to provide for his family. The experience taught the Bugcalao couple to be generous to others. They started the company not out of personal gain but in order to help others in their pursuit of success. To accomplish their goals, the couple invited some soughtafter leaders to become partners and mentors. In a few short months, Red Footprint has established an aggressive digital presence, providing free daily Zoom events, creating an online website and pages, and making itself accessible on social media. The company also started a closed group that has over 1,500 members as of writing. Red Footprint has also taken the group to the next level by developing a mobile app which the members can use to easily access shared documents, scan through the different available events, find answers to frequently asked questions, and connect with other group members. In the coming year, Red Footprint’s goal is to be the loudest, biggest, and strongest business consultant organization in the country. So if you want to be part of this milestone, join us now and be part of Red Footprint!

Andres Bonifacio read a lot
I find it providential that the last day of National Book Week (November 24-30) falls on the birth anniversary of Andres Bonifacio, whose 153rd birthday we are observing today. Relatively recent evidence effectively debunks the myth of the “unlettered” Katipunan Supremo – obviously a demolition job perpetrated by political detractors. (Remember the fake news about syphilis being the cause of Apolinario Mabini’s paralysis?) La Salle history professor Michael “Xiao” Chua concedes that Andres Bonifacio attended the private school of Guillermo Osmena and attained the present day equivalent of Second Year High School or Grade 8 under the K-12 curriculum. But Bonifacio made up for his incomplete formal education by reading a lot. Yes, Bonifacio (like Ninoy Aquino and the late Blas Ople) was a voracious reader. Historian Chua cites Doña Elvira Prysler, proprietor of a mosaic tile factory where Bonifacio used to work as a warehouse keeper. Prysler, Chua said, recalled her impression of Bonifacio whom she often saw with open book in hand during
lunch time. What types of books appealed to Bonifacio? When hostilities broke out between the Katipuneros and the Spaniards, the authorities raided the offices where Bonifacio worked or used to work. In the German firm Carlos Fressel and Co, where Bonifacio worked as warehouseman and later as sales agent, the raiding authorities seized the following books among Bonifacio’s personal effects: Top of the list were the two novels of Jose Rizal, “Noli Me Tangere” and “El Filibusterismo”. During that time, mere possession of these two books was enough to land anybody in jail. Also among the “subversive books” were “History of the French Revolution” and “The Ruins of Palmyra: Meditations of the Revolution of the Empire”. Also probably considered “subversive” was “Lives of the Presidents of the United States” because of the role of George Washington in the American Revolution. A member of the Free Masons (then considered an enemy of the Catholic Church), Bonifacio also read The Holy Bible and “Religion Within the Reach of All”.
Ignacio Bunye
He also read books on law (international law, civil code, penal code) and medicine. For light reading, Bonfacio turned to Alexander Dumas, Victor Hugo (Les Mesirables) and Eugene Sue (The Wandering Jew). Who among his political detractors could have claimed that they read even half as many of the books which Bonifacio read? Bonifacio also wrote poetry. He wrote “Pag-ibig sa Tinubuang Lupa” a 28stanza piece which National Artist Virgilio Almario describes as “excellent”. A shortened version of the poem became the lyrics of a song (melody composed by ex-political detainee Luis Jorque) which became very popular during the martial law period. Bonifacio also wrote essays like “Ang Dapat Mabatid ng Mga Tagalog (What the Filipinos Should Know)” and “Tapunan ng Lingap (Care a Little).” In a previous article, we recalled that Dr. Jose Rizal read a lot. Rizal got hooked See READ, page 15
Letters from Davao
Davao City getting out of the woods
STRICT implementation of health protocols and restrictions against Covid-19 is all that is needed to control the spike of Covid-19 cases in Davao City. For now, the earlier proposal to place 35 barangays under lockdown had been set aside. The culprit it is turning out was the lifting of curfew and the liquor ban. We were not in this situation before. While Davao City has its share of Covid-19 cases, rarely do we see these going beyond 30 and recovery was high. It was not a difficult decision to lift restrictions to rev up the local economy and for many to be re-employed. What happened was people imbibed too much alcohol they can handle and when drunk threw away all precautions in the air. Without curfew “barkadas” roamed the streets and in many slum dwellings where space is cramp infections, just like among drunkards, is a certainty. No masks and no social distancing. Pretty foolish things that Dabawenyos committed against what was an attempt at self-regulation that failed. Add to that is the stupid defiance of some barangay officials against the Mayor’s order banning
cockfighting and we are on the way to beating other cities nationwide in the number of Covid-19 cases reported daily. Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio had restored all restrictions. The day before the Executive Order took effect, alcoholics shamelessly rushed to the malls and bought all the liquors from the shelves lest they ran out of stock ‘til Christmas. Ergo the drinking goes on. Thus, we Dabawenyos have to endure the limitation of movements. While there may be no lockdowns, residents will face stricter rules and regulations to contain Covid-19 infections. This means until a vaccine against the deadly virus is made available, there will be no second round of intoxicating spirits anymore and the curfew is here to stay. And the iron lady in Mayor Inday Sara cracks the whip. Wear that mask and face shield properly and no non-essential travel will be allowed. Simple appeal actually, but those who are defiant will pay PHP500 for the first offense, P2,000 for the second offense, and P5,000 for the third offense plus one-month free ac-

commodation in the city jail. While she is at it, the good mayor should include business establishments that fail to enforce the health protocols on their clients. Field barangay police to take pictures of non-compliant establishments to include ambulant vendors where protocols are not observed, issue a penalty letter, and attach the photos taken of the establishment. The penalty should be stiffer, of course. In the meantime, Davao City braces for a cleanup drive. Mass testing of people who had contacts with COVID positive patients in every barangay. Residents see Mayor Inday Sara meant business. There are anti-Covid teams checking on every traveler. If compliance among residents becomes a habit then maybe our Christmas may still be merry, subdued but merry. We will get out of the woods for certain but I, for one, hope the inveterate drunkards do not forget Covid-19 has not gone away.

ILIGAN CITY, Nov. 29 (PIA) - Iliganons are now assured of affordable, safe, and quality essential medicines with the opening of the city’s first FOURmula One Plus Botika ng Bayan (F1+BnB). The BnB was officially opened to the public after a memorandum of agreement was signed on Thursday, Nov. 26, between the city government of Iligan represented by Mayor Celso Regencia and the Department of Health (DOH) represented by Dr. Adriano Suba-an, the regional director of DOH-10. City Health Officer Dr. Cherlina Cañaveral said the opening of the Iligan’s BnB is in line with the thrust of President Rodrigo Duterte to give affordable, quality, and accessible healthcare service to all Filipinos. This, she said, includes the giving of accessible and quality essential medicines to indigents and those who belong to the marginalized sector of the community. “The purpose of this is to give quality essential drugs to all the Filipino people without shelling out money from their pockets. This is also a realization of the President’s vision that no Filipinos shall go home without getting the essential medicine that they need,” Cañaveral said during the launching of Iligan’s BnB.

BnB, indigent patients are guaranteed to receive prescribed medicines without any amount incurred from their own pockets. Mayor Regencia expressed gratitude to the DOH-10 for its continuous support to the city government and for helping them establish the BnB. He also emphasized the importance of quality health services to Iliganons saying that getting sick is a big burden to families whose earnings are barely enough to cover their basic needs. “Manghinaot ko nga unta kini makatabang og dako kaayo sa atong mga tawo nga mga pobre, kadtong mga kabus nga moanhi dinhi nga maka avail sa libre nga tambal,” he further said. [I hope this could be a big help to our poor people
who come here to avail of free medicines.] Regencia also gave an assurance that the city government of Iligan is supportive of the provision of quality healthcare services adding that he increased the budget allocation for the provision of medicines to the city health office. Dr. Suba-an, on the other hand, said the operation of BnB will ensure the attainment of the intermediate goals of Universal Health Care (UHC) which are efficiency, quality services, and access to services and health products. This, he added, will also lead to the attainment of UHC’s ultimate goals of better health outcomes, a responsive health system, and financial risk protection. (APB/PIA-10)
Online platform bridging PPE makers, consumers launched By KRIS CRISMUNDO
MANILA – The United Nations Development Programme in the Philippines (UNDP) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) launched Friday the Empower PH, a digital platform that connects manufacturers, suppliers, users, and beneficiaries of protective wear. Empower PH or Enhanced Manufacturing of Protective Wear and Equipment for Covid-19 Response in the Philippines aims to bridge the domestic demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) to local manufacturers and suppliers of these products critical to mitigate the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) infection. The online matchmaking platform can be accessed through empower.dti.gov.ph that will facilitate businessto-business matching for enhanced manufacturing and production of PPE, as well as other medical

Suzuki Philippines Celebrates First Virtual Dealership Grand Opening SUZUKI Philippines Inc. (SPH), the pioneer compact car distributor in the country welcomes another dealership in the roster of their successful automobile shops in the country. With the grand opening of Suzuki Auto Marikina (SA Marikina), a member of the ANC+ Group of Companies, Suzuki is now more reachable and accessible to residents within the vicinity of Marikina City and its neighboring communities. With the new normal we now experience in our country, celebrations and events that require gathering and face to face interaction
are the last options to commemorate milestones and achievements especially for companies with a significant number of loyal and hardworking employees. As a direct response to this change, Suzuki Philippines took on the challenge of taking to available digital resources to honor the grand opening of Suzuki Auto Marikina through a Virtual Ceremony led by its Dealer Principal, Mr. Anthony Cheng , and its Executive Vice President and Treasurer, Dr. Mike Tan. This is the first time a Suzuki Dealership grand opening was done online, the most efficient and safe route to take in
a time of social distancing. “The opening of Suzuki Auto Marikina is yet another reason to remain committed and relentless in servicing our customers. These trying times may have presented
countless deterrents in our society, but we in Suzuki took on the challenge of helping the community bounce back and stay reliable to those who consider Suzuki automobiles as their dependable
partner in rising above the situation. We are optimistic that more Filipinos, especially those in close proximity to SA Marikina, will welcome us with warmth and excitement as we continue to champion the
Suzuki way of life!� says Mr. Keiichi Suzuki, Vice President and General Manager for the Automobile Division of Suzuki Philippines. SA Marikina is the 12th dealership under ANC+ Group of Companies, offering sales, service, and spare parts to its customers. Standing in a 1,000 sqm lot area at Brgy. Sto. Nino, Gil Fernando Avenue Ext. Marikina City, SA Marikina will be able to display in optimum presentation the three newest Suzuki car units in its showroom. The dealership is also capable of receiving vehicles for repair and other services with six bays made available. The vast experience of the group is an assurance that quality and reliable customer service will be provided to the city of Marikina.

DNHS conducts LDM2 Training By: JENNIFER M.DULLA With the aim to capacitate teachers in the different Learning Delivery Modalities and platforms in the new normal set-up this SY 2020-2021 (RM. 080 s., 2020), DNHS held LDM2 training to 65 junior and senior high school teachers at the School Conference Hall last October 26-31, 2020. School Principal II Mr. Jennifer M. Dulla, spearheaded the conduct and implementation of the three-day School Learning Modalities Course for Teachers (LMD2), together with the Master Teachers, Dr. Nelia V. Daculos, Mr. Danilo U. Limocon and the overall-facilitator Mrs. Mary Ann T. Pinote. Registration of teacher-participants was done as early as 6:00 in the morning of October 26, 2020, assisted by the school planning team, followed by an opening program. Seminar proper started at 8:00 am with Mrs. Judith B. Hilario, as the speaker of Module 1-Course Orientation and Mrs. Debie Lyn O. Estenzo as the Facilitator of the workshop. The orientation aimed to understand the implementation of LDM2 under the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan, assuring the health safety and well-being of all the teachers and learners, using the three identified learning modalities: Distance Learning, Blended Learning and Homeschooling. Faculty President, Mrs. Jovelyn C. Laurie continued the seminar on Module 2 which focused on the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC), with Mrs. Margey A. Tubal as her facilitator. During the workshop, the teachers were grouped by specialization or department to unpack and combine MELCS into learning objectives. The purpose of this task was to systematize learning activities and effectively address the varying needs of learners and the
challenges of instructional deliveries. Series of seminar-workshop were undergone by participants in the next succeeding hours. Mr. Danilo U. Limocon, MT1 with Mrs. Divina H. Quimba as the facilitator, presented Module 3A, which focused on Designing Instructions in the Different LDM’s. In this module, teachers were tasked to design instructional modes to address the need of the learners in the new normal situation. Day 2 and 3 became a rigid training for all the participants. Module 3B on Learning Resources was discussed intensively by Mrs. Gemma M. Fernandez, with Mr. William A. Calixto as the workshop facilitator. Module 4, specifically on Planning for Continuing Professional Development and Learning Action Cell (LAC) Planning was discussed by Mrs. Mercidita A. Lumaad with Mrs. Glorymar M.

On the last part of the session, Senior High School Coordinator, Mrs. Buena Fe C. Oro presented Module 5 on Building the Teaching Portfolio Related to the Implementation of the Modalities, with Mr. Kevin C. Membreve as the workshop facilitator. Reflections, activity sheets, record notebooks, evaluation sheets were all combined into a portfolio which served as the final output of the participants and were summarized by the over-allfacilitator, Mrs. Mary Ann T. Pinote. “We are all challenged to apply the learnings that we have gained from this seminar as we continue our mission to educate the youth despite pandemic,” said Dulla in his message. Giving the certificates to speakers and participants were also done during the closing ceremony.
FACEBOOK LIVE AS A MEANS TO CONDUCT ONLINE CLASS IN THE NEW NORMAL EDUCATION By MARIA CLEOFE B. PALMA Teacher III (Math Department)
We all know how technology plays a significant role in education especially in this time of pandemic. Live streaming acts as a tool to provide better education in the absence of face to face interaction. Learning from live streams is an entirely different experience compared to traditional classes. Traditional classes are not always the best environment as the teacher cannot really focus on every student. Live streams offer students an opportunity to revisit the lessons at their own convenience. WHY DO I PREFER TO USE FACEBOOK LIVE OVER GOOGLE MEET AND ZOOM? Though majority of my students have gadgets that can connect to the internet, most of them are only relying on prepaid data. That means, they have to load their network (Globe, Smart, TM…) to be able to join my live class discussion. Now here’s a table showing the comparison of data usage as well as maximum room size of Facebook, Google Meet and Zoom.
Sources: 1. https://www.theringer.com/2016/5/24/16044520/how-much-data-will-facebook-lives24-hour-streaming-use-fd93c87f8911 2. https://www.whistleout.com/Internet/Guides/zoom-video-call-data-use 3. https://www.themobileindian.com/news/how-much-data-is-consumed-for-1-hour-ofvideo-conferencing-on-skype-microsoft-team-google-hangout-slack-30319 The table shows that FACEBOOK app is more data friendly than Zoom and Google Meet. It means a lot for my students who are only relying to prepaid data. If they load 50 pesos and get 1 GB, they will only be able to join half an hour of the zoom/google meet session because they will run out of data. Whereas, if facebook is used, they will have enough data to watch the live discussion and an extra data that they can save up for the remaining days or they can use to browse other network sites like YouTube or Google. Another thing, Facebook can accommodate as much as more than a thousand viewers while Zoom and Google Meet has room limit of only a hundred. In my case, I am handling 4 sections with an average of 50 students per class. If I am going to use Zoom and Google Meet for my live stream, it means I have to conduct the session twice to accommodate all my students. In this connection, using Facebook Live will save my time and effort. I will only hold one synchronous session per day to cater everyone minus the noise destruction that usually happens when the students do not turn off their microphones.
AFP team in Lanao Sur to probe 2 chopper crashes By DIVINA SUSON
MARAWI CIT Y – The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has sent an investigating team that will probe the two separate accidents involving two Vietnam War vintage Huey helicopters while trying to airlift four wounded soldiers during combat operations in Lanao del Sur against Dawlah Islamiyah (DI) militants on Thursday and Friday. Sources from the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, on Saturday said the team will find out the cause of the accidents which could be mechanical trouble or due to bad weather condition. On Thursday afternoon, a PAF chopper was trying to airlift wounded soldiers in the hinterlands of Madalum town in Lanao del Sur when the pilot felt that the chopper had no enough power to take off.

Hybrid rice seen to boost rice sufficiency, productivity MUSUAN, MARAMAG, BUKIDNON – To increase rice productivity in attaining rice sufficiency, the agriculture department in Northern Mindanao (DA-10) and Central Mindanao University (CMU) conducted the hybrid rice derby harvest festival in said town. On Friday, DA-10 Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado said, “we are confronted with the dipping buying prices of palay, this hybrid rice derby is one of the answers to this challenge.” Collado conveyed, in his message, during the program with seven participating seed companies, SL Agritech, Bayer, Long Ping, Sygenta, Seedworks, Ramgo, and Bioseed. Each seed company was allocated five hectares planted with their most leading varieties, using their own cultural practice protocol. The remaining five hectares were utilized for the one common protocol for all cultural practices, which were
adopted to all entry varieties. “Through this harvest festival, we will be able to come up with the result to further recommend to our farmers the best variety to use,” Collado added. DA-10 partnered with CMU for the 27-hectare hybrid rice derby which aims to increase national agri-fishery output through intensified use of quality seeds, appropriate inputs and modern technologies to increase levels of productivity, availability, accessibility, and affordability amidst the threat of COVID-19 pandemic. “We target to contribute in increasing the 87 percent rice sufficiency level of the country, including the farm mechanization rate of 2.31 horsepower per hectare,” Collado said. Region 10 targeted for 94 percent sufficiency level, a 12 percent increase from its preceding year target with various mitigating programs implemented to boost rice production. DA’s Rice Resiliency
Project (RRP), a quick response measure that addresses food security concerns amid the pandemic, focuses to intensify the campaign for the adoption of hybrid rice technology among local farmers, which intends to produce more rice to increase rice sufficiency level. Philippine Statistics Authority bared the region’s first semester palay production at 1.11 percent, both for rainfed and irrigated. “We are DA’s partner in the development of enhancing food production in feeding the people,” CMU President Jesus Antonio G. Derije said. CMU will continue to improve their production and the whole area will be utilized with DA’s partnership and the seed companies. The hybrid rice derby harvest festival is fitting for this month’s celebration of National Rice Awareness Month, focusing on being Riceponsible. Highlighting on the theme, Grow local. Buy local. Eat local. Support our rice farmers. #(ATCabig)
In Maramag town, DA-10 and CMU conduct the hybrid rice derby harvest festival, to showcase the best featured rice varieties of participating seed companies.

DAVAO CITY – Seismic upgrades on the four buildings of Verdon Parc, DMCI Homes’ condominium project here, have been fully applied, implemented, and completed to raise the safety of the structures and meet current building standards. The DMCI Homes’ construction team in Verdon Parc worked with the Office of the City Building Official (OCBO), Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE), and principal consultant Macro Consulting Structural Engineers Company (MACRO CSE), to plan, implement and enforce structural enhancements on its sole project in Davao following the high seismic activity in the Mindanao last year. The structural enhance-
ment plan was devised after various surveys, inspections, and tests performed by the OCBO, PICE, and MACRO CSE on the structures. MACRO CSE managing partner, Engr. Ronald C.
Santiago, said non-destructive concrete testing like Schmidt Hammer test and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity tests were performed to check the actual condition of the concrete while destructive concrete and rebar testing were performed to check the quality of concrete and reinforcing bars. “To do these, concrete samples were extracted and subjected to compression test and reinforcing bars were extracted and subjected to tensile test,” Santiago said. MACRO CSE, according to Santiago, provided calculations based on the results of the tests, which were then reviewed and See COMPLETES, page 15

of the country’s investment hubs to breeze through the economic meltdown amid this COVID-19 pandemic. In the notice served by PIA Manager for Port Management Efledo Resma and Port Development Manager Elvira Garcia to La Vina dated November 24, RCL Feeders Phils through agent Eagle Express Lines officially launched the new international shipping service in the Visayas and Mindanao. The MCT progress report reflects the proactive direction of this administration in propelling the mandate of PHIVIDEC -IA as development catalyst of Mindanao, La Viña added. The return of RCL was made possible through the efforts of both MCT, the port management and development department of PHIVIDEC-IA after a series of negotiations with RCL’s agent EELI. According to EELI, a two-vessel rotation on weekly calls connect Cebu, Cagayan de Oro via MCT and Zamboanga to areas in China, Korea and other ports of call in Southeast Asia, the Indian sub-continent and the Middle East/ rtm

was a result of a discussion between the 4ID and its civilian partners, which was formally launched on Nov. 18. “This donation drive is a multi-sector endeavor composed of different organizations and agencies both public and private with a noble intention of helping our brothers and sisters who need our help during these trying times,” Cordero said. At the Lumbia airfield in Barangay Lumbia, this city, Army and Air Force personnel loaded sacks and boxes of donations to a waiting C-295 cargo plane, which was expected to land at an airport in Tuguegarao after close to four hours of flight. Froilan Gallardo, veteran photojournalist and one of those who first discussed with the 4ID the idea of
asking for aid for the Ulysses survivors, said “the donations came from the heart because we also have been victims during the Typhoon Sendong.” Erick Cañosa, Gingoog mayor, said they heeded the call by “sharing the blessings given to us by the Lord God Almighty.” “We are here, giving an opportunity to our fellowmen affected by Ulysses in Cagayan Valley, so they will feel that we are here, willing to help them,” the mayor said during the send-off ceremony at the Air Force facility in Lumbia. Speaking in behalf of Maj. Gen. Andres Centino, the 4ID commander, Col. Michele Anayron Jr., 4ID assistant division commander for reservist and retiree affairs, said people in Northern Mindanao did not hesitate to send in help as many of them have also been victims of devastating typhoons, especially Sendong and Pablo, in the past. “Yet, from one survivor to another, it is inspiring how fast the donations have accumulated, in just a span of a few days,” Anayron said. Cordero said the remaining donations, stored at a hangar in Lumbia, will be picked up by other military cargo planes in the coming days.
