President Duterte reorganizes Task Force Bangon Marawi President Rodrigo Roa Duterte reorganized the composition of Task Force Bangon Marawi.

The President signed Administrative Order No. 9 last October 27 ordering the change in the structure of the Task Force as he saw the necessity of a full-blown reconstruction, following Marawi City’s liberation from the control of ISISbacked terrorist groups.

Task Force B angon Marawi is now headed by the Chairman of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC), with the Secretary of Department of National Defense (DND), the former Task Force chairman, and the Secretary of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) as Co-Vice Chairpersons.

“The Chairman of the HUDCC as head of the Task Force Bangon Marawi shall

have operational control and supervision of the said Task Force and the overall responsibility to ensure that the objectives of this Order are accomplished,” AO No. 9 said.

Further, the Sub-Committee on Housing, formerly under the Office of the Cabinet Secretary, will also be headed by the HUDCC, which will be “primarily responsible for the immediate rehabilitation and construction of temporary or permanent shelters, and the restoration of water, electricity, and other public utilities.”

On the other hand, the Sub-Committee on Security, Peace and Order will now be co-headed by the DND and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG). They will be responsible for the restoration and maintenance President Rodrigo Roa Duterte gets a warm welcome upon his arrival at the Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan on October See duterte, page 9

Isuzu Baguio, which is situated at the heart of Naguilian Road in the City of Pines, City, will cater to the growing business for the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR).

The 640-square meter showroom is equipped with state-of-the-art new and complete service facilities. The dealership is offering customers with PMS, check-up and maintenance, discounts on parts and service and on-site servicing.

Aside from the bestselling mu-X and D-MAX, the new dealership will also display its formidable truck line-up from the dependable allnew N-Series light-duty trucks (NLR77, NLR85, NMR85, NPR85, NQR75) for logistics and fleet needs, the medium-duty truck F-Series line-up (FRR, FSR, FVR, FVM), and the heavy-duty C & E-Series line-up suited for a larger scale business in the region.

Social media is citizen journalism

“Traditional academic assumptions say that traditional media is “all that is good and holy” and the new media/bloggers/etc. are, at minimum, highly suspect and probably poor quality…,” was a remark I read from a media analyst.

He essentially talked about how news is being transformed from static product to process in the networked public sphere, a concept that has since been further developed.

If I may suggest, bloggers must undertake a lot more research, fact-checking, and careful reasoning. By these, they will begin to get more

ing, but it is not exactly just disgorging out irrelevance, either.

Bloggers may sometimes refrain from controversial issues because they fear criticism, but this is also done by traditional journalists at times.

Many mainstream journalists are now also adopting social media such as twitter, or facebook. What could be the long term consequence of this?

Let’s face the fact that news organizations today do not have the monopoly of the news anymore.

Journalists are transforming from being gate-

Allan Mediante Editor-in-Chief keepers of information to sharing it in a public space.

Therefore social media as citizen journalism is becoming an acceptable reality.

What is evolving is a new objectivity. Objectivity is always important for the news. Serious reporting was once designed to deliver journalism that people can See journalism, page 9

Almun Rey Logronio’s Satire at Qube Gallery

Almun Logronio (b. 1987), in a back-to-back solo art exhibit, uniquely plays the senses with wit on the buffoonery of society.

readership, and find that their routines become more like those of traditional journalists, instead of just spouting off opinion.

Traditional journalists contemptuously see bloggers as having little motivation for original reporting because they get most of their basic knowledge from traditional media. But I believe that bloggers also researched sources to exchange all kinds of information with their readers.

Serious bloggers read multiple sources to research issues. It may not be the same as the hard-work of true blue-blooded report-

visitors. When he could not use one, he went into the bushes, hid behind a big tree, and faced with a real dressing down: a girl saw him. ”I was very ashamed and ran as fast as I could, laughing”, he recalls.

Logronio wants to reminisce his experience by sculpting it—albeit, not himself, but the girl who saw him. The girl with a whole dress--rendered in a literal, figurative approach-sits with her buttocks open wiped with a leaf, mouth releasing breath for the coup de grace; moreover, a piece shows one biting the edge of her skirt doing the same. The artist even used a “manananggal” symbol

wearing high heels, wiping the dirt with a stick. The artist gives variety to his presentation with another piece showing a group of girls conversing casually while doing their private ritual together with panties taken off.

The artist also presents teenage boys in a series doing the same: one holding a slingshot with slippers tucked on both arms, another pouring water on his exposed buttocks. The artworks relieve stress as they evoke fun about what is supposedly done in secret—but now made a public spectacle.

theme that Logronio deals with, though it assaults by wit on the buffoonery of the aristocracy. It is Sam Mahon’s Nick Smith sculpture, highlighting a largerthan-life-size environment minister of France defecating into a glass of drinking water.

Defending his work, Mahon argues with Marcel Duchamp that the creative act is completed with the spectators’ interpretation and reaction. He is referring to Environment Canterbury’s (Ecan) attempt to See qube, page 9

Think A Minute

A Tricky Problem

Think a minute.

Have you ever stood by a fire when the smoke was so thick you almost thought you could grab it with your hands. But if you try, the smoke just disappears right through your fingers. It’s like that when we try to be humble. We grab for humility, but as soon as we think we’ve got it, it disappears like smoke through our fingers. You see, we trick ourselves when we start to think that we’re humble, because in our mind and heart we actually start feeling proud of ourselves that we’re humble. So you see, we’re still very proud.

Our problem is the subtle, deceptive nature of pride. It makes us self-

conscious, thinking about ourselves and how we good we are or look in front of others. Our pride competes and compares ourselves with others. That’s why we get angry when someone treats us like we’re not important. Our pride makes us want to act and impress others with how humble we are, when inside we still think we’re more important than some people. This is also why many people want to become rich millionaires.

You see, if everybody in the world had a million dollars, then not many people would really want to be a millionaire because they would not be richer than anyone else. If everyone in the world had a high

political position of respect and power, then not many people would want that kind of position because they would not be more respected and powerful than anyone else.

Did you know that it is our pride which causes most of the problems in our life, whether it’s in our family, at work, school, or with friends and neighbors. Our hidden, tricky pride is the reason we get hurt and angry at others. It’s also the reason we will not forgive them, but instead even try to hurt them back. So is there any hope for us? Can we ever start becoming genuinely honest and humble in our hearts? Yes, that’s the great news! God the Son humili-

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

ated Himself by becoming a human being to die and pay the penalty for our sinful pride which separates us from God. But He also will set us free from the power of our sinful pride. Jesus Christ will forgive you right now-if you ask Him. Then He will also give you His power and love, so you can start changing to become the truly humble, honest, and successful person He created you to be.

Just Think a Minute.

PROMOTING SPORTS IN BARANGAY GASI, LAGUINDINGAN, MISOR – The Barangay Council of Barangay Gasi in Laguindingan, headed by Barangay Chairman GEMBOT BAGAS, recently received a set of tempered glass basketball boards and balls from VICE GOVERNOR JOEY G. PELAEZ. The activity was witnessed by the Barangay Health Workers, Barangay Police Officers, headed by Chief Tanod MABAO VILAMOR, and residents of the Barangay. Since 2013, Vice Governor Pelaez has distributed more than 500 fiber glass, tempered glass and marine boards to different Barangays and Sitios in the Province.

Official Statement on Re-assignments of Executives Involved in Admin Case State-run Social Security System (SSS) on Thursday confirmed the re-assignments of its officials involved in an administrative case. It said the re-assignments of executives have been implemented in the exigency of service.

The SSS administration said the action will also pave way for an objective, transparent, and fair investigation of the on-going administrative complaint, and due process will be strictly observed in the investigation. Charges in the administrative complaint are still subject for further investigation.

Likewise, the re-assign-

ments will avoid any suspicion that the on-going investigation will be whitewashed.

SSS reiterated that it has institutionalized procedures to address administrative complaints. Such mechanisms ensure all parties are given due process.

SSS guarantees its members that the Investment Reserve Fund, which came from members’ contributions and investment income, is intact, well-protected, and professionally managed. The management would also like to assure its members that no SSS fund was used or compromised in the issue.

Duterte siblings change political plans for 2019 DAVAO CITY—Vice Mayor Paolo ‘Pulong’ Duterte has announced his retirement from politics, but hinted to a “CarpioDuterte” tandem will still lead the city.

This after his sister, Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio told reporters here she will run as a representative of the first congressional district of Davao City.

She brushed aside a senatorial bid, saying, incumbent First District Rep. Karlo Nograles is reported to be eyeing a Senate seat.

“When Mayor Sara announced that she will file for a congressional seat in the first District, everybody’s asking me where I am going. It will still be a Carpio-Duterte tandem in the mayor and vice mayor, we are still talking to the other Dutertes, but definitely it will not be me,” he said.

He said the husband of Mayor Sara, Manases Carpio is very qualified to lead the city with his

background in the law profession.

He added that talks are ongoing with the youngest of the Duterte siblings, Sebastian or Baste.

“If you will ask me where I would go, I will be going back to farming.

I am planning to retire,” the vice mayor said.

Visa upon arrival to attract millions of Mazuist to PH

By Joyce Ann L. Rocamora

MANILA -- The Department of Tourism (DOT) on Thursday said the implementation of the visa upon arrival (VUA) program will drive more Chinese tourists, particularly followers of Mazuism to look at the Philippines as its next festival hub.

In 2009, the Mazu culture has been added to the “List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity".

Tourism Secretary Wanda Tulfo-Teo said, "as a country blessed with so many heritage festivals ourselves, the Philippines can draw out from Mazu cultural

tour festival's overwhelming turnout year on year."

As per the DOT, around 300 million Mazuists worldwide celebrate Mazu's birth, a Chinese sea goddess, every 23rd day of March on the lunar calendar and also observe her ascent every 9th of September.

Teo said the department's plans of growing cultural festival in the country would definitely pave way for cultural diversity to flourish.

“As a melting pot of many different cultures, religions, the Philippines stands to benefit in embracing this centuries-old Eastern belief,” she said.

Teo bared that a Chi-

nese Mazu Cultural Center would soon rise in Manila Bay under the auspices of Friends of the Philippines’ Foundation (FPF).

The said hub will feature a six-meter-high Mazu statue at the bay showcasing many tourism, business, leisure, and cultural activities.

“This should become a centerpiece for economic

and cultural exchanges between Chinese and the Philippines, promoting the valuable Mazu culture as well as advancing SinoPhilippine friendship," the tourism chief said.

Teo was among the key personalities from across the globe invited by the FPF in the recently concluded Mazu cultural tour festival held at Tin Hau Temple at

Coloane in Macau.

Two months since the Department of Justice rolled out the VUA option to Chinese citizens, DOT said arrivals from China surged by 54.92 percent from 61,766 arrivals August 2016 to 95,687 of same period this year.

“If these figures are any indication, the Philippines can certainly piggyback

on VUA to attract more Chinese travelers considering that a huge number of this market is package-tour buyers," Teo said.

"I am confident this ease in visa requirement is an attractive proposition for the country to host bigticket events such as Mazu culture festival," she said, pointing to the 300 million Mazuists worldwide. PNA

Motorists advised to avoid lockdown areas during ASEAN Summit

By Aerol John Pateña

MANILA -- The government will implement a lockdown in some parts of Metro Manila to avoid traffic congestion during the country’s hosting of the 31st Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit.

In a statement, Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Officer in Charge Catalino Cuy, who is also the concurrent chairperson of the Asean Committee on Security, Peace and Order, Emergency Preparedness and Response, urged motorists and commuters to refrain from passing through the following areas: November 8 (12:01 a.m. onwards) – Partial lockdown of CCP Complex, Pasay City November 11 (10:00 p.m. onwards) – Complete lockdown of SMX-MAAX Block, Pasay City November 12 (12:01 a.m. onwards) – Complete lockdown of CCP Complex, Pasay City November 13 (12:01 a.m. onwards) – Total lockdown of Roxas Boulevard starting from Padre Burgos Ave. to Buendia Ave., Manila November 13 (12:01 a.m. onwards) – Partial lifting of lockdown at SMX-MAAX Block, Pasay City November 13 (12:00 noon onwards) – Lifting of lockdown for Roxas Blvd.

(Padre Burgos Ave. to Buendia Ave., Manila)

November 14 – Continuous lockdown of CCP Complex, Pasay City November 15 (12:00 noon onwards) – Partial lifting of lockdown for CCP Complex, Pasay City During the partial lockdown period, pedestrians and vehicles without ASEAN IDs and decals are allowed to enter the designated routes only if they pass through the vehicle and pedestrian security areas.

On days with full lockdown schedule, only pedestrians and vehicles with ASEAN IDs and decals will be allowed to pass while the general public will be denied access to these routes.

Cuy advises motorists to steer clear of the lockdown areas in order that they will not be trapped in case there is a passing convoy.

The MMDA earlier said a modified stop and go scheme will be enforced along the routes of the convoy. In the scheme, vehicles of the delegates of ASEAN and their convoy will be prioritized.

A full stop of traffic will be observed five minutes before a convoy passes through, but the volume of traffic will determine the duration of the stop-and-go scheme on each intersection.

All trucks and closed vans will also not be allowed to traverse along SCTEX/ NLEX from Clark to Balintawak and along EDSA from Balintawak to Magallanes from November 11 to 15.

God knows that you will be tired in sinning The Gospel of Jesus Christ (November 4, 2017-Saturday) Matthew 18:12-14-How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and went into the mountains, and seek that which is gone astray?

And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiced more of

that [sheep], than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish: This gospel reminds us about the big love of God to each one of us.

The new life that you have is found only in God. God never counts the long years that you

had wasted to nonsense things but he is very particular the new life that you are journeying. God gives you the freedom already since birth and use that freedom to do the right thing only supposedly.He respects you when you use your freedom in doing evils because the loser is not him but you. He wants you to realize that

his love is inviting you always to repent and change the way you see yourself. God waits the exact timing for your realization about your faults and can appreciate his immeasurable love for you. God wants you to know how loving and forgiving he is. He wants to pour his love for you even how grievous your sin is. He waits the

Biblical reflection exact date that you are tired is committing sins on this earth. God knows that you will be tired in sinning but remember; God is not tired in forging you and loving you always. God knows that you will stop in committing sins. He knows that your conscience will dictate and oppose you always. God believes in you that you can make

Scouting is fun…

By Roie M. Ubayubay

In the journey of schooling, students are not totally entitled to do academic works all the time. They must explore and look for the skills that they think suited to their personality and hobbies. They look for outside of the school activities or this they call extra-curricular activities. In this connection we already know one of the most anticipated activity inn schools at all levels; elementary, s e cond ar y and e ven in college and that the scouting activity. This is the time that learners are being emerged to various physical activities and challenges. This is the activity that most school age anticipates.

The month of October is the culminating month for all the scouters and all the learners who intend to witness and emerged themselves to the scouting activity.

This moth, participating schools send their scouters to participate in this activity. The question there is why most of the scouters look forward for this activity? What are those things that they want to experience in scouting? Well, there must be something very wonderful experience in this event that most of the student cannot afford to let it pass.

From what they always say, experience i s t h e b e s t te a ch e r.

In this line of profession, being a teacher we should ensure that our learners learn the best and meaningful knowledge. It is very obvious that the government knows that kind of factor. Scouting is one of the ventures that they think the learners can gain knowledge even though it is outside from the four corners of the classroom. Scouting provides various physical activities that teach the learners to survive and be fit in this modernized world. Activities such as crossing the tires while jumping, long jump, crossing the river full of mud, untying the ropes, tying it, and a lot of activities

which corresponds to life-long learning from the experience they got are such an excitement experienced by scouters.

The learning process in this certain type of activity last long to the learners, because they actually experience the activities. According to some group mates of ours they all the experience in scouting even if it is in elementary still remains in their memory. Where even the facts that from what they learn in scouting are the things that they still use today. One important thing also that scouting experiences give is the value of cooperation among teammates, they get to know and acknowledge the capacity of one another, learn from each other.

That factor or scenarios encompasses all the experiences in scouting.

The bottom line of every human experience is the way how they use it into good and approachable actions. Every experiences from scouting creates a factor or an impact to the memoirs of the learner, the fact that these memories still remains in the heart and minds, this goes to show that it is indeed a wonderful, and treasured moments to all of us. Having said that we must use all the things that we learn from scouting to teach other people and teach them almost all of what we learn, so the we will be able to let them know the good things that scouting may brought to their life. Let us be mindful that in order to put good memories to other people is showing it yourself to them, t he e x p e r i e nc e t h at we got from scouting was totally wonderful, but we must this into good deeds and action that even though we are not scouting anymore, we act like all the knowledge and skill we learned are truly use and will serve as model.

That way we can say that everything in scouting is wonderful that it made us who we are by showing it to them.

TRADE CHIEF PUSHES FRANCHISING INDUSTRY TO CONTINUE STRENGTHENING THE MSMEs. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez urged members of the franchising industry to be role models, inspire Filipinos to be entrepreneurs, and help the government in uplifting the lives of those at the bottom of the pyramid during Francorp’s 20th Anniversary on 24 October in Taguig. Sec. Lopez highlighted the role of franchising in micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) development. “Franchising is the game changer for any business model as it allows small-scale businesses to grow and become bigger players. Apart from encouraging people to be entrepreneurs, it also provides employment opportunities to many Filipinos”, said Sec. Lopez. The trade chief together with Sen. Miguel Zubiri acknowledged the Filipino brands which have managed to expand in Asia and in other continents such as the Europe, America, and Australia. The Trade Secretary also assured franchisors and franchisees that DTI will be an industry partner for programs and advocacies strengthening the MSME sector.

BSP allows lower risk weighting of MSME loans guaranteed by CSF To further support the growth of the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), the Monetary Board approved the amendments to the risk-based capital adequacy framework for banks by assigning a lower risk weight of 20 percent on performing loans to MSMEs to the extent guaranteed by a qualified Credit Surety Fund (CSF)

Cooperative.

A qualified CSF Cooperative refers to a cooperative that is organized consistent with the provisions of the Republic Act (R.A.) No. 10744 (Credit Surety Fund Cooperative Act of 2015) and its implementing rules and regulations. Said CSF Cooperative shall have an initial leverage ratio of three, which means a CSF

Cooperative can guarantee MSME loans up to three times of its capital. The leverage ratio can be subsequently increased subject to review of the performance of the CSF Cooperative.

Existing regulations provide that a 75 percent risk weight shall be applied to qualified MSME portfolio.

This policy intends to facilitate the increased flow

of funds to MSMEs that will translate to the further growth of the sector and of the domestic economy.

The CSF Program was first launched by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas in 2008 with the end goal of enhancing the creditworthiness of MSMEs. This Program was institutionalized with the enactment of R.A. No. 10744 on 6 February 2016.

broke out as the troops chanced upon the two Maute group stragglers while conducting continuous clearing operations to flush out the remnants of the terror group.

Brawner said the slain aide of Hapilon was identified as Abu Talja, whose remains and that of the other Maute group straggler have been recovered by the troops.

He said the two slain

He said captured Indonesian extremist Muhammad Ilham Syahputra confided to them that the Maute group stragglers are already starving since they have not eat for days.

Syahputra, 22, was captured Wednesday morning by government forces in Ba-

trust. But in this new age of media, it is transparency that delivers trust.

News today still has to be accurate and fair, but it is as important for the readers, listeners and viewers to see how the news is produced, where the information comes from, and how it works. The emergence of news is as important, as the delivering of the news itself.

Information is not journalism. You read many issues, utterances, pronouncements, and reports from multiple sources on-line, Facebook, Twitter, etc.. but they may not be journalism.

Practicing professional Journalism is built and cultivated on discipline, analysis, explanation and context.

These must be adapted by social media practitioners.

Social media as citizen journalism must uphold collaboration, openness and culture as rules.

Social media is not only important for citizen journalism, but for reaching out to the readers as well. Mainstream media are exploring the use of social media to drive traffic according to Reuters.

Today, we can see that social tools such as Facebook and Twitter are inspiring readers to become citizen journalists. They now can easily publish and share information to a larger audience.

Social media practitioners as citizen journalists will be more entrenched on their communities. Mainstream media outlets would soon focus on bloggers as potential correspondents.

Bloggers will no longer be just bloggers, but may be relied upon as more of credible sources.

Alfred Hermida, professor of integrated journalism at the University of British Columbia, said: “Social media by its very definition is a participatory medium.

There is a potential for greater engagement and connection with the community, but only if journalists are open to ceding a degree of editorial control to the community.”

intercede by way of court injunction running to 130 pages, amounting to an estimated legal expense of $30,000—a failed endeavor.

Logronio may not elicit such legal warfare for his oeuvres; however, he can attract 500 peals of laughter.

Behind that laughter, though, the artworks indirectly mock society’s imbecility. An example is how the personalities cry “foul” or “EJK” to the way terrorists Omar Maute and Isnilon Hapilon in the battle of Marawi were killed—a fake news, but loaded with meaning as it satirizes how police operations in the drug war were demonized, even if they intended to cleanse

the Augean stables and make society safe for everyone.

Nevertheless, as Mexico, Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia and the US now reportedly want to model the “Oplan Tokhang” strategy of the Philippine National Police per the report of the Philippine News Agency, the critics of the drug war now see that the helm’s fight against the menace really works effectively and has become a much-admired model of what a leader should do. We begin to see what is real poppycock that becomes the object of satire that Logronio successfully presented in such context.

The viewer should correlate the artist’s sculptures with his decision to pursue a full-time art career. For Logronio, he had worked for companies, but did not last there. He later found satisfaction in sculpture more than monetary reward.

The artist shuns from news about calamity, politics, crimes and drugs in deciding his subjects. Instead, he focuses on alleviating humor. In a jungle of choices-and having experimented with 3D painting, other materials and techniques in art making--he found gratification in sculpture that entertains.

“Art and society go together,” the artist stressed.

“Rising world oil prices have resulted in some moderate further rises in retail petrol and diesel prices in the Philippines in the month of October, contributing to pushing up the headline consumer price index (CPI) inflation rate from 3.4 percent in September to 3.5 percent in October,” the economist said.

“With headline CPI inflation pressures gradually creeping up towards the upper end of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) target inflation range, the combination of strong domestic demand, rapid growth in consumer credit and upside risks to inflation are likely to result in the BSP having a tightening bias for monetary policy settings in late 2017 and early 2018,” added Biswas.

He noted that the possible policy change of the central bank will focus on the macroeconomic conditions in the Philippines rather than the movement in the US Federal Reserve.

Inflation rate target for this year ranges from two to four percent. PNA

statement.

Armed with a search warrant, Castro said they stormed the residence of the suspects in Barangay Kanalo, Maasim around 11 p.m. Wednesday.

T h e op e r at i on w a s backed by elements from the Maasim municipal police station and the Army-led Joint Task Force GenSan led by Col. Adonis Bajao.

Seized during the raid were plastic sachets containing about 40 grams of suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride or “shabu” worth around P440,000, a brown envelope containing documents detailing monetary transactions, a rifle grenade, a hand grenade, a 40mm grenade launcher, seven rounds of 5.56mm live ammunition, several bank deposit slips, cheques, savings account passbook, and a bag containing bills in different denominations.

The raiding team also found a black ISIS flag at the house of the suspects.

Castro said the suspects, who are currently detained at the PDEA-12 headquarters here, would be charged with violation of Section 11 or possession of dangerous drugs, under Article II of Republic Act (RA) 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, and RA 9516 for illegal possession of ammunitions and explosives.

Last month, anti-drug operatives seized about a kilogram of suspected shabu worth around P5 million, drug paraphernalia, suspected ecstasy, laboratory equipment, assorted firearms, explosives and ammunition in a raid at the house of Maasim Mayor Aniceto Lopez Jr. The mayor was not around during the raid but later surrendered to known political ally Senator Emmanuel Pacquiao.

Lopez was tagged by PDEA-12 as alleged protector of the AKP and the El Patron Drug Group.

AKP had been blamed over a string of terror attacks in Sarangani and neighboring areas these past years.

Its alleged founder, Mohammad Jaafar Sabewang Maguid alias “Tokboy,” was killed in an encounter with police operatives in January at a beach resort in Kiamba, Sarangani. (MindaNews)

Living in Instagrammable Uptown CDO

By Maia Poblete

When asked to describe your ideal neighborhood what’s the first thing you usually think of ? Safety, security, and location are often the top three. Nowadays, however, a lot of people also prefer places that look good in photos.

These are what you call Instagram-worthy or Instagrammable places.

An Instagrammable neighborhood is one that

looks exceptionally good in Instagram. The minute you see a photo of it on your IG feed, you are drawn to it. You cannot help but love it. And you wish to the high heavens that you were the one who took that photo.

With millions of users around the world, Instagram is easily one of the most globally popular social media platforms.

When you upload or post a photo on your IG page,

millions of people will see it in a matter of minutes.

Your photo will travel to even the farthest corners of the world. Everything you post on IG gets maximum exposure worldwide. It is a powerful medium.

So when you hear people saying, “Wow, this is an Instagrammable place!”, you know that you’ve just been given a major compliment.

But not all photos on IG are Instagrammable.

There are certain qualities or characteristics a photo has to have before it can be dubbed Instagram-worthy.

1. An IG-worthy photo is relatable. People should be able to easily identify with the subject or image in the photo. Example: a photo of someone drinking coffee on a balcony overlooking a majestic of Macajalar Bay. Wouldn’t you want to be that someone?

2. An IG-worthy photo is creative. People like photos that evoke a sense of creativity – not the ones that are hastily taken. In other words, colors, lighting, and composition matters.

3. An IG-worthy photo is unique. It has to be or has to have something you don’t see every day.

Example: a family of four enjoying a swim – won the rooftop of a building with the sunset in full view.

That’s not something you see every day, anywhere, right?

4. An IG-worthy photo is breathtaking. Photos that take your breath away attract a lot of viewers. Example: a sunrise wedding on the rooftop of the tallest building in the neighborhood, complete with a view of Macajalar Bay. You don’t

have to go to Dahilayan to get a breathtaking wedding photo!

5. An IG-worthy photo is vibrant. The best and most effective Instagram photos are alive with colors, teeming with action, shapes, and people.

Vibrant photos tell a lot of interesting stories.

Example: an old piano filled with colorful family photos and placed in one corner of a living room with big, picturesque windows.

Outside, you’ll see kids playing on the green grass.

If you’re looking for a place like this here in Cagayan de Oro – an Instagrammable neighborhood – the best and only choice would be the progressive neighborhood of Uptown CDO. Uptown Cagayan de Oro is a growing community that offers a lot of refreshing attractions to people

This highly urbanized, sustainable residential township and business center has tons of entertainment and leisure options, and is close to some of the city’s best schools as well.

And, yes, Uptown CDO is an Inst ag r am mabl e neighborhood.

Why Uptown CDO is Instagrammable Uptown Cagayan de Oro provides its residents and community members a vibrant but peaceful scenery.

One that relaxes, rejuvenates, and warms even the most tired and hungry soul.

It is IG-worthy especially because of: 1. Its sunrises and sunsets. Need I say more?
