Students immerse into Agusan rich cultural heritage By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN, Contributing Editor and DANNAH RUFALYN M. BUQUIR, Contributor

PROSPERIDAD, Agusan del Sur--Senior high school students immersed themselves in the province’s rich cultural heritage during a one-day historical symposium at the provincial museum- Sugwak Tu Agusan recently hosted by the Provincial Tourism Office. The museum situated at the ground floor of the Datu Lipus Makapandong Cultural Center is the province’s forst and only

museum which proudly showcases unique artifacts , centuries-old indigenous peoples battle gears and photos Taking aim for a more meaningful public service, the Provincial Tourism Office doubled its efforts and initiatives in preserving Agusanon culture, heritage and upholding local history. Thus, the first ever Historical Symposium in the province.

The said activity was participated by 140 senior high school students and their respective mentors. Board Member Hazel O. del Rosario, SP Committee Chair on Tourism, Culture and Indigenous Peoples also graced the activity in which in her welcome message she accentuated the importance of local history in today’s modern innovation and technology. “We wouldn’t be where and

who we are today if not for our history as Agusanon,” she added. Enlightening and broadening the knowledge of the young ones, Arnel C. Pasilan, sole Eco guide in the country and a homegrown talent, imparted significant

information as to how and when the history of Agusan began. He also showed some documentaries and photos of evidences to back his facts up such as the discoveries of stegodon, stone axe and the famous Golden Tara.

A museum tour and a quiz bowl competition then followed where the San Jose National High School from Prosperidad bagged first place, Sibagat National High School, second place and Corpuz National High School, third place.

Local and foreign tourists take the time out to enjoy boating, swimming and snorkeling around the Sunken Cemetery shrine in Catarman, Camiguin, over the weekend. The giant cross serves as a reminder that a cemetery once stood in the area but was submerged in water when an earthquake shook the island on May 1, 1871.

Hon. ALEX P. CALINGASAN, Provincial Vice Governor Hon. Members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, GOOD AFTERNOON! It is my pleasure to present to this Honorable Body the Proposed Budget for CY 2018 of this Province for both the General Fund amounting to TWO BILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THIRTEEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED FIFTY SIX THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED SIXTY EIGHT PESOS (P2,713,356,268.00) and the Operation of our Economic Enterprise amounting to EIGHT HUNDRED THIRTY NINE MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND (P839,900,000.00) pursuant to Section 318 of RA 7160, known as the Local Government Code of 1991. INTRODUCTION: Allow me to extend my gratitude to each and everyone of you for the unwavering support and dedication towards the realization of our goal which is to make Bukidnon a premier province. I take pride and honor for the continuous development of our beloved province and I believe that through our collective efforts, the future of Bukidnon is very promising. Throughout the years, the eight (8) Pillars of Good Governance has become our ultimate guide and basis in providing services to our people. The first pillar, Local Administration and Governance has become very easy to achieve as this involves you and the entire Provincial Government of Bukidnon. We believe that good governance can only be achieved if it is supported by well-intentioned and empowered individuals who are all willing to dedicate their hearts and souls for better public service. This has led this administration to the Strategic Human Resource Management Program which promoted six hundred fifty five (655) casual employees to regular status and two hundred seventeen (217) employees under job order are now casual employees. This has become one of our major accomplishments for the year 2017. As for health and social services, we continue to provide the Basic Social Services to our constituents through the Aid to Individuals and Families in Crisis Situation (AIFCS) Program. We were able extend basic assistance for food, medicine, payment for hospital bills, burial assistance and many more. We want to ensure that our people receive the quality services that they deserve. In addition, we continued to provide equitable access to quality and affordable health services to the people of Bukidnon especially to the indigents. We have strengthened the implementation of the No Balance Billing Policy in our eight (8) hospitals. Providing quality education is still one of our top priorities. The Provincial Government of Bukidnon continues to provide Educational Assistance to the poor but deserving students. This is in addition to the programs which we have taken together with the different agencies of the government which aimed to provide quality and accessible education for everyone. All of these are in response to the challenge of bringing education to the people of Bukidnon which is at par with the best schools in the country. Slowly, we are building a province with complete educational facilities, which will allow our students to stay and never look for calibre education to other places. Providing decent, affordable and presentable resettlement sites for our people especially those who are displaced has also become our top priority in the province. In fact, our Housing Projects in the province have already helped a lot of families to have a safe, affordable and decent place to call home. Our pursuit of peace continues. We have regularly conducted Provincial Peace and Order Committee (PPOC) meeting and close coordination with the authorities to maintain the Peace and Order situation in our beloved province. In our earnest desire to support the War against Drugs, we have regularly conducted mandatory drug testing with our employees for us to finally achieve the change that we have been chasing for years. Our quest for better governance and a more progressive province should be started within our own organization. Allow me to acknowledge the effort of our dedicated team from the Office of the Provincial Treasurer as they strive to achieve their mandate in the collection of taxes. The Actual Performance in the Tax and Non- Tax Revenue of this province as of September 2017 (before closing of books) reached the total amount of ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT MILLION, THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED FORTY EIGHT PESOS AND SIXTY EIGHT CENTAVOS (P188,385,248.68), with 101% collection efficiency versus the ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY SIX MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (P186,800,000.00) Target. Also, it is worthy to mention the outstanding collection of Sand and Gravel which has already reached the gross income of ONE HUNDRED NINETY SEVEN MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED TEN PESOS (P 197,730,710.00) as of October 20, 2017. Positively, we will be able to meet and exceed our target of TWO HUNDRED MILLION pesos collection for the year 2017. These and many more illustrates the achievements for CY 2017 which is made possible through the consolidated effort of both the Executive and Legislative branches of this province, the dedication and commitment of respective offices and the support and coordination of public and private sectors. The next coming year brings even more a lot of optimism for our dear Bukidnon. In 2018, we will be making big steps as we start our 300-Million Livelihood Program to boost the economy in the entire province. Initial plans and careful studies are already taken for a more effective and lasting impact that this Livelihood Program can bring to all of us. As the RDC Chairman of this region, I assure everyone that through the socio-economic development programs we have set, progress and development will be within the reach of the Province of Bukidnon. This administration also recognizes the need to focus on infrastructure support services. Last year, was a full blow in infrastructure. However, what we have started last year is only the beginning of a more highly-developed Bukidnon. By 2018, a new building will rise in the Capitol Compound as we have set plans for us to convert the Old Hospital into functional and useful building. There will also be two (2) commercial buildings that we hoped to start constructing early next year. Today, I am presenting to you the Annual Budget for CY 2018 and humbly requests for your approval as this budget is necessary for the implementation of our plans and programs next year which are all intended for the welfare of our people. This is a consolidation of all the proposals from offices and support groups after thorough review by Local Finance Committee. Ladies and Gentlemen of this August body, once again, I am asking for your positive response, support and commitment to the 2018 Budget. Thank you very much and may God bless us all. Sincerely yours, JOSE MA. R. ZUBIRI, JR. Provincial Governor

October 31, 2017 is a public holiday

Today is October 31, a Tuesday and non-working public holiday. That is the beauty of being the President – you can change anything except the number of days in a month or in a year. Other than that, a President could declare any day of the month in a year a public holiday. Don’t get me wrong, even the local government officials could declare a public a holiday. While the President could declare a public holiday through an Executive Order, the local public official could declare a public holiday through a resolution or an Ordinance passed or approved by the

the world celebrating the event. In the Philippines, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 are usually declared public holidays – not October 31. However, the rationale of declaring October 31 a public holiday is, perhaps, in accordance with the usual practice of the Filipino people going home a day before Nov. 1. Most Filipinos go home a day or two before Nov. 1 in order to spruce up the graveyards of their loved ones. At least, once a year, the relatives and the loved ones would have a time to visit and offer flowers and prayers to their departed.

Cris Diaz

Thus, the President finds it logical to declare October 31 and Nov. 1 a public holiday. Declaring October 31 as a public holiday, also mean that Nov. 2 is no longer a public holiday (in the Philippines). Perhaps, the time has also come to adopt the time-honored tradition of Spain to celebrate the All Saints Day and at the same time the All Souls Day in November 1. In other words, we no longer consider Nov. 2, the All Souls Day, See HOLIDAY, page 11

local legislative body. Anyway, the declaration of public holidays is a privilege inherent among public officials in high office. While many would wonder, particularly the unexpecting employers – the workers would only be too glad. Actually, the declaration of October 31 as a public holiday caught many of us a surprise. As the common practice, the November 1, the All Saints Day (Dia de Todos los Santos) and Nov. 2, All Souls Day (Dia de Todos los Muertos) are the declared public holidays in Christian countries around

cious and unethical language Junia, in a social media post, recommended that doctors supportive of Duterte should be reviewed by the ethics board and sanctioned. In a statement that is spiced with hubris and downright insults, Junia added that doctors not voicing out against the murder of 3-million are complicit to the killing. The statement did not amuse a well known cardiologist, Dr. Francisco Tranquilino of the Asian Hospital and Medical Center. “It is illogical and deplorable to say that if a doctor is not speaking out against the government’s conduct in its drug war, then he or she becomes complicit in the murder of three million,” he said, adding that the anti-Duterte doctor is proceeding from a wrong premise and malicious.

In a stinging rebuke to Junia’s post, Dr. Tranquilino asked the psychiatrist “whoever told her that the solution to drug problem is murder?” He went on to say that murder is evil. “But where in the hell did you get the idea that all deaths related to the war on drugs are state-sanctioned? Yes , the police maybe involved in some, but these are not sanctioned by the government. It is no way near that,” he lectured on Junia. 

 Dr. Tranquilino, who is a Fellow of the Philippine College of Physician and an Associate of the Philippine Heart Association, questioned where Dr. Junia got her figure of 3-million killed in drug war which he said is fake. I suggest you clear your facts first before accusing your colleague of any unethical conduct. Otherwise

such malicious, unsubstantiated allegations against a colleague may constitute violation of the Professional Regulation Commission and the Philippine Medical Association Code of Ethics.
 Now, if t his is not enough, as if on cue, the dye-in-the wool critic of President Duterte, former Economic Planning Secretary Solita Monsod, joined the fray.

Think A Minute

Success is mostly failure

Think a minute. A successful man said: “Success is mostly about failing.” What we don’t know about the world’s most successful people is the many times they failed before they finally succeeded. Successful people know how to keep going and learning from their failures until they finally reach their goal. As a famous entertainer put it: “If you want the rainbow, you’ve got to put up with the rain.” This is a true story of a man who when he was 22 years old failed at business. The next year he tried for public office in the govern-

ment and lost; so he tried again at business, but failed at that again. Then, at age 25 he tried for government office again and this time he won. But the next year his wife-to-be died, and at age 27 he had a nervous breakdown. In the next 7 years, he tried for government office 3 more times and lost all 3 times. Then 3 years later, at age 37, he tried again for government office and finally won. But only 2 years later he lost it again. In the next 10 years, he tried 2 more times for the Senate and lost both times. Then he tried for

Vice President and lost that also. Finally, 2 years later, at age 51, this man was elected President of the United States. Today, he is considered by many Americans to be the greatest President in America’s history. This is the true life story of Abraham Lincoln. Failing should make us better, not bitter. You can tell how strong a person is by how much failure it takes to stop him or her from continuing to try. Jesus Christ wants to give you His inner strength in your heart and character, so you will be able to handle your life’s difficulties and

disappointments. In fact, you will actually learn to use them to make you stronger and wiser. Jesus wants to guide and help you reach the real success He created you to enjoy, both personally and professionally. So won’t you ask Him to take full charge and control of your life every day, for the rest of your life? Just Think a Minute.

Avoid A Mamasapano and Marawi! By Samira Ali Gutoc MindaNews

ILIGAN City--Moro notes, October 20-25: Marawi returns back its 9 barangays after 153 days of fighting, the last day of fighting they call, one for the books. Spain’s capital Madrid and autonomous region Catalonia head off in decisions to have more central control. So many pro-Marawi events around. Thanks for the love! As the National Highway in Marawi covering barangays of Matampay to MSU

entrance activates, many would want to venture in income-generating projects such as hostels, restaurants, cafes. There are an estimated 5,000 families in the nine barangays (note from MindaNews: 6,469 families in the nine barangays, according to Social Welfare Regional Director Zorahayda Taha, DSWD focal person for Marawi) and of course Marawi hosting the 39 towns of Lanao del Sur in conventions, weddings etc. Mercury Drug, Jollibee and MCDO might want to open house here. Pedicab owners are one big feature in Marawi City.

Cash assistance should also assist them aside from sidewalk vendors. Burn the firearms confiscated in Marawi, hmmm, creates more firearms in the disgruntled, kill the culture not the machinery.

The Power of Science By: Adelina D. Asencion, T-III

As a Science teacher/coordinator in Victor Guevara Memorial School. I believe that a key objective of Science is to encourage pupils to engage and involve in teaching-learning and adopting studies and careers in the disciplines of science, technology, and mathematics. It is about showing pupils what is possible through science and the exciting careers and opportunities that these disciplines can present to them and to the community in the near future. Through Science Month together with the

Science Clubs we aim to take science out of the lab and show how it is so much more than a ‘subject’. Science club in VGMS seeks to demonstrate and substantiate to pupils of all ages, the importance and relevance of science to the future development of our society and economy. I hope the great range of events and activities that we make in school will motivate teachers, pupils and parents to engage with science at home, in the classroom and in the community.

From what I learned in one of the seminars I attended the speaker mentioned that, “Science can help to answer the what, the why and the how, while also revealing new questions. It is a problem-solver, helping to crack everyday challenges. What has the power of science enabled us to achieve and what else are we capable of ?” Science Month is an opportunity to envision what else is possible. Don’t miss out on the unique opportunities and power that Science has to offer.

International Phil. reminded me our times during the Youth Summit in the 1990s. These need to be revived in this age of apathy. Just had a Multi Sectoral Army Advisory Board Meeting (MSAB) with outgoing Chair Alberto Lim and Commanding General Arevalo sitting for Commanding General Rolando Bautista (who was called suddenly for a mission) , no they did not remove me even with my Joint Hearing speech on (some) army abuse. We reminded to honor peace agreement mechanisms in joint peacekeeping groups on the ground such as the government – MILF Committee on Ceasefire, Cessation of Hostilities CCCH, adhoc Joint Action Group AHJAG and Local Monitoring Team. Dozens of agreements have been signed in the past attesting to such security collaboration and coordination, avoid another Mamasapano, another Marawi!

Davao mayor wants Marawi IDPs to stay pending rehab completion

D

AVAO CIT Y -Davao City Mayor Sara Z. DuterteCarpio wants the internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Marawi City to stay in the city until everything is cleared and the rehabilitation is ongoing. Duter te-C ar pio explained that she wants to make sure that these people will be stable upon their return to their city. “Sa pagka-karon, wala pay na put-up nga infrastructure, I don’t think duna sila’y livelihood pagbalik nila didto (For now, no infrastructure is being established there, I don’t think they will have a livelihood if they return home),” the city mayor said. Duterte-Carpio said the city will coordinate with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in their region for some arrangements for their return. “The same way nga giassist sa pagsulod nila, iassist usab sila pagbalik nila (The same way that if we assisted them when they come here in the city, we will also assist them when they go back),” she said. The mayor said the City Social Services and Devel-

opment Office (CSSDO) already discouraged some of the 479 IDP not to go home yet due to this reason. “We do not think that Marawi is the place that can accommodate them as of this time,” she said. Duterte-Carpio said she advised these displaced persons to wait for the completion of the rehabilitation. The city has become a war zone after ISIS-inspired Maute group took over for several months. E a r l i e r, D S W D 1 1 spokesperson Carmela Duron, said that their office will give the assistance but they need to secure a certification first from the local government of Marawi City or from official of Philippine National Police or Armed Forces of the Philippines in the area. Duron said these IDPs don’t need to go to Marawi City just to get the said requirement because they can still get it through email, social media or through fax. This requirement is really needed for them to claim the assistance that the agency will be given to them such as transportation allowance to IDP who will be returning home, she said. PNA

Bistoyong to DAR officials: “Do your assignments!”

D

DA R of f i c i a ls f rom various regions and provinces in the country are now undergoing their CY 2017 Third Quarter Nat iona l Cumu lat ive Assessment Session at the Icon Hotel here that commenced last October 24 and will end on October 28. “I would want our DAR targets to be achieved. We would help you achieve your targets that is why we will have a one-onone session to assess the facilitating and hindering factors which contributed to the implementation of

the expected deliverables,” Bistoyong emphasized. She further noted that “I receive a very tall order from our President that DAR should deliver in land tenure service. LTS is the very spirit of agrarian reform and I would expect our Regional Directors to b e hands-on in the implementation of the program.” “Do your assignments! Cases should be solved at t h e prov i n c i a l an d regional levels. It is quite expensive for the farmers to go in Mani l a, hol d rallies and camp-out at the DAR central office to air their concerns when it can already be solved at the field levels,” she said.

Public, private sector backing needed to boost cacao industry By VANESSA P. SANCHEZ and RHEA C. ABAO

BUTUAN CITY - Collaboration, convergence, cooperation. These serve as the driving force in the recent conduct of the Mindanao Cacao Link 2017 hosted by the Caraga Cacao Industry Council on October 17-18, 2017 here. Cacao Link is considered the country’s biggest technical and commercial event for the cacao industry as latest scientific ad market research developments are showcased by the different players of the cacao chain. “The creation of the Cacao Industry Development Council in each region has been a big help in developing and strengthening the country’s cacao industry because there is already a convergence of the public and private sectors especially since the council is co-chaired by the Department of Agriculture, and other government agencies like the PCA and DENR are also members,” said Engr. Edwin Banquerigo, Department of Trade and In-

dustry (DTI) National Cacao Cluster Coordinator. According to Banquerigo, the Philippines started practicing the industry clustering approach five years ago and had an average annual production of 5,000 MT. At present, the country’s average production is at 10,000 – 12,000 MT a year. Valente Turtur, Chairperson of the Philippine Cacao Indusstry Council (PCIC) added that the council is not merely focusing on the volume of production but rather the quality of the produce. Thus, training is regularly being conducted to be able to teach farmers to produce quality products. He also said that small cacao farmers should attach with organizations so that they can be assisted with their needs. Turtur observed that one of the challenges in developing the industry was not just about financing or the transfer of technology, “It’s about the culture and attitude of the person. Today, we are trying to

shift the mindset of everyone that they need to work hard as cacao farming is a source of income, We don’t rely on everything from the government, we should also do our part,” he emphasized. Thr country, especially Caraga is potential for cacao production because of its strategic location and ideal weather condition. Based on data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), Caraga had a 60 MT production in 2015 with an area planted of 1,252 hectares. Under the region’s Cacao industry Roadmap 2017-2022, Caraga has a production target of 3,000 MT of dried fermented beans. “However, with the concerted efforts of the council and the various government agencies involved, this target just might be achieved already by next year,” said Christopher Lindo, chairperson of the Caraga Cacao Industry Council. The Department of Agriculture (DA)in Caraga also pledged its support to the cacao industry by distributing a total 1.5 million cacao planting materials up to the year 2022. This is on top of the targets from other government agencies such DENR, PCA and DAR. Other support from various government agencies includes post-harvest facilities as well as marketing assistance. “We are very willing to extend our help for the cacao industry. Our objectives are on the same page that is the plight of the poor. The convergence that we made today will help us to be in the right direction

Bangsamoro Assembly postponed to ‘third week of November’ THE Bangsamoro Assembly scheduled November 3 and 4 in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao has been reset to “third week of November” due to “reasons beyond our control,” Ghazali Jaafar, chair of the Bnagsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) announced. “We regret to inform you that due to reasons beyond our control, the said Bangsamoro Assembly has to be postponed,” Ghazali Jaafar, the MILF’s 1st Vice Chair and chair of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC), said in a press statement.

Jaafar did not divulge the reason but MindaNews sources said President Rodrigo Duterte, the Assembly’s guest of honor, will not be available until after November 18, after he hosts the ASEAN Summit. The BTC is the joint government-MILF body that drafted the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) and is convening the Bangsamoro Assembly. Jaafar said new dates are still being determined “but at this point we are already looking at the third week of November 2017.” He said they will im-

mediately send out notices once the date is final. The BTC, according to Executive Order No. 8 issued on November 7 last year, is mandated, among others, to draft the BBL; whenever necessary, recommend to Congress or the people proposed amendments to the 1987 Constitution; and “convene an inclusive Bangsamoro Assembly as a consultative body to discuss the proposed BBL.” It it also mandated to “spearhead the conduct of dialogues and discussions with the public on the

Bangsamoro peace process. The 21-member BTC, composed of 11 members nominated by the MILF and 10 by government, submitted its draft BBL to President Duterte on July 27, in the presence of Senate President Aquilino Pimentell III and House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez. But it took Malacanang a month before it forwarded the draft bill to the two houses of Congress. The two houses took more than one month before the draft BBL was finally enrolled as a bill. The Duterte Adminis-

tration’s Bangsamoro Peace and Development Roadmap targeted December this year for the passage of the BBL, to pave the way for the creation of the Bangsamoro, a new autonomous political entity that will replace the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The creation of the Bangsamoro is part of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) signed by government and MILF on March 27, 2014. Dccember 2017 was targeted for the passage of the BBL because the ARMM

Z AMB OANGA City–– The Regional Peace and Order Council-9 (RPOC9) remains supportive to President Rodrigo Duterte in his continuous implementation of martial law in Mindanao even as the fighting in Marawi City

has ended. Duterte declared that Marawi City has been liberated after the death of Maute group leader Omar Maute and Abu Sayyaf Group leader Isnilon Hapilon following an intense gun battle in the morning

of October 16. Mayor Maria Isabelle Climaco-Salazar, RPOC9 chair, said they would take the cue from President Duterte with regards to the implementation of martial law. The President has

implemented martial law throughout Mindanao when the Islamic State for Iraq and Syria (ISIS)-inspired Maute group attacked Marawi City on May 23. The Maute group members went berserk and occupied several establishments

after government forces on May 23 raided the hideout of Hapilon, who pledged allegiance to the ISIS. “We awaited for the order of the President regarding (the implementation of) martial law in Mindanao,” Salazar said. (PNA)

elections is set for May 2019, or 17 months later. It takes at least six months for the Commission on Elections to prepare for the plebiscite that will ratify the Bangsamoro law and at least a year’s transition period was agreed upon by government and the MILF.

God lives in our individual heart no matter what

T he G ospel o f Jesus Christ (October31, 2017-Tuesday) John 2:13-22”And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the

changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise. God wants to be sure that your soul is not stolen by Satan at the end. This is the truth; God lives in our individual heart no matter what. Whoever you are, God loves you so

much. Jesus protected the temple of his father. Now, my point is; what is more valuable; the physical temple or you his beloved child? The answer is clear; you are his most precious creation on this earth. In Hebrew13:8” God is the same yesterday, today and forever.Therefore, Jesus will do it also for you. He will care you the way he cared the

temple of Jerusalem. He will care you from your enemies. He will care you from your disasters and trials. Just believe that God will do amazing things for your life.He is faithful that no matter the situation is, he will not leave you. Sometime you are busy to find Jesus in somewhere but the reality is; God is living in your heart.

ful. That’s why we will just have to outwit against each other on the ring,” Abaniel added. “I’ll focus on our fight plan. And I know she has the hometown crowd but I will not be destructed by this because I’m getting used to fighting in the opponent’s hometown,” said Abaniel. Abaniel is arriving in Manila on Oct. 25 but her Australian manager Robert Hill and some friends had already arrived early to join her flight to Chna on Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. Abaniel is the first challenger of Cai, who previously dethroned Japanese Etsuko Tada last January 30 at the Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort in Macao. The 26-year-old Cai (9W-1L-0D, 1 KO) also captured the vacant IBF Inter-Continental female minimumweight title by a unanimous decision against Siriporn Thaveesuek last year in Beijing. Abaniel (18W-8L-0D, 6 KOs) is fresh from a unanimous decision win against Chamaporn Chairin held September 30 at The Flash Grand Ballroom of the Elorde Sports Complex in Paranaque City. The 31-year-old Abaniel, a native of Puerto Princesa City, also beat Saowaluk Nareepangsri by a unanimous decision last year at Punchbowl, Australia to capture both the Global Boxing Union Female World and vacant Women’s International Boxing Association world minimumweight titles.

the real “Kalag-kalag,” as a public holiday. Actually, there is no conflict, declaring Oct. 31 a public holiday and at the same time the “All Saints Day.” Under the new set-up, it would, therefore, logical to declare Nov. 1 as the “All Souls Day.” In this setup, Oct. 31, would become the All Saints Day. Why not Oct. 31 as the “All Souls Day” and Nov. 1 as the “All Saints Day.” It could not be done because the All Saints Day is always celebrated first before the All Souls Day observance. Since October 31 is already a public holiday this year, chances are that in 2018, October 31 would still be declared as a public holiday and Nov 2. a working day. This year, the All Saints Day would be celebrated on Nov 1, a Wednesday. The observance of the All Souls Day is already declared a working holiday on Nov. 2, a Thursday. Bothersome? Following the declaration of Oct. 31, a public holiday, a proposal has cropped up that might possibly alter the traditional observance of the All Saints Day and All Souls Day in the country - in terms of dates only. In other countries, particularly the Christian Or-

thodox, the All Saints Day is observed during the first Sunday of the Pentecost after the 40-day Passover. Some countries even observed the All Saints Day during the first Saturday of the month of November and the All Souls Day during the first Sunday of November. In other words, there is no need to declare a public holiday anymore because Saturday and Sunday are non-working days for government workers. For the private companies, it would be optional for them to adopt Saturday as the All Saints Day a declared non-working holiday. -0Email reaction/comments: crisguardian@yahoo.com

goal – to help promote Mt. Magdiwata as one of the best trekking destinations in Caraga Region. Towering over the town center of San Francisco, climbers settle a camp at the Philcom tower and spent the night not only setting up a tent but also camaraderie among co-climbers. A night full of trivia, laughter, music and a little booze filled the cold night air and tender breeze. “It has been a great experience to finally do things for the first time. It was exhausting climbing up and down the trails but it was all worth it. The experience is definitely one for the books,” said Bai Naliyagan 2017 June Cyra Pineda as she shares her experience during the awarding of certificates down in Datu Lipus Makapandong Ecotourism Park and Campsite.

The pilot implementation of this activity is very significant for the Provincial Tourism Office plans to establish it as an annual activity in the succeeding years.

During the City Peace and Order Council last week, the Public Safety and Security Command (PSSCC) announced there will be about 4,000 police and security forces to be deployed for Oplan Kaluluwa. City Transpor t and Traffic Management Office (CTTMO) announced it is ready with the traffic plan for Oplan kaluluwa. CTTMO has started putting traffic signage and road signs on re-routing of vehicles especially roads leading to cemeteries. The deployment will not be concentrated in cemeteries but also in all vital installations and areas of convergence like terminal, churches, airports and seaports. CTTMO Chief Dionisio Abude also vowed no compassion for motorists violating traffic rules especially on parking. CTTMO traffic from page 1 enforcers will also be aided acquiring it.

some activities administering the events. In other cases, he also stands behind the screen, monitoring the whole activities, like CCTV scrutinizing what is going on well and which section needs empowerment. When seeing everything is well-organized, he just keeps himself calm and look around the event arena. On the contrary, when finding any section needs, empowering, he goes directly to the position where it needs to be done by him. For example, when I was late to become the judge of the best paper presentation, selection, he went to the table— when I should have been there— and he did it. By the time I came up, he directly left the position where II should execute. I have been the eyewitness of such evidences. Now is the CEO of the event organizers: Bagel as her nick name she uploaded in her Facebook account. She is Ms. Gayle Tuico Salalima. Bagel is the most versatile young lady who also becomes the motordynamo behind the success of the event organizer. This young lady—with her cute and intelligent appearance— always works so fast that all international events’ supplies are always prepared well. She is the Bachelor of Arts or BA graduate in the field of international/ global studies, Liceo de Cagayan University, Philippines 20102014. To some extent, it also indicates that her university has the satisfactory graduates like her. Everything is done well and the organization is also running well, making all well organized. She is the talented young lady, an asset for her country too. Rossi (the nickname of Russel Obsioma) is another one, also the key factor making all events well organized. He preferably goes down to the field, administering the process with different functions. Russel Obsioma is also the BA graduate, but in the field of international/ global studies, Liceo de Cagayan University, 2010-2014. He does multi-tasks. He can also become the MC, replacing the MC who is doing another job. He also becomes the photographer for all activities, and works in team at the same table with other staff during the conference. The multitasking young executive is his appropriate trade mark as I have ever seen so far. This also shows that his alma mater can provide the graduates with the best quality as he is. All in all, the three human capitals: the genius researcher and the two CEOs are the best human capital and the asset for their country—the Philippines.

Malacanang had declared Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 as special non-working holidays in connection with the observance of “undas.” Gonzales said the regional office has assigned its officers to supervise the security operations in parts of Region 12. The region comprises the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and North Cotabato, and the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Tacurong, Kidapawan and Cotabato. He said personnel assigned at the regional headquarters would also be deployed to augment some local police offices and stations. The police official reiterated that the carrying of firearms, bladed weapons and alcoholic drinks is prohibited in all cemeteries. He said they have assigned teams to secure and monitor the entry points of cemeteries in coordination with civil security personnel and barangay peacekeeping teams. Aside from this, he said gambling and playing of loud music are also banned inside cemeteries. “These are usual prohibitions and we’re expecting residents to fully cooperate with us to avoid possible problems,” he said.

facilities in the islandprovince’s two towns. A hotel owned by Limketkai will stand in Barangay Tupsan Pequeño, Mahinog town, while Mallberry will expand its hospitality business in Barangay Bonbon in the municipality of Catarman. In Cagayan de Oro, Limketkai operates the 213room Luxe Hotel located within its mall complex. Mallberry, owned by Roger Chiu, has its own Mallberry Business Suites Hotel within the Limketkai mall. With the completion of these two new hotels, Romualdo said Camiguin will be ready to accommodate any events, including those organized by the Asean. “Camiguin will never back out [in] hosting any major event,” she said at the sidelines of the annual

street dancing competition, one of the highlights of the 38th celebration of the Lanzones Festival, held October 22-31. The Lanzones Festival, an event feting the bountiful harvest of lanzones, which is abundant in the island, is among the major activities in Camiguin where the influx of local and foreign tourists is expected. Last year, the Asean Center for Biodiversity declared the Camiguin’s Mts. Timpoong and HibokHibok natural ranges Asean Heritage Parks, one of the few areas in the Philippines that is recognized as such. The declaration also put Camiguin on the Asean map. With this recognition, Romualdo said, it won’t be long for citizens of Asean member-countries to visit Camiguin. “We will never say no to anyone who would want to come and visit us. Yes, we are now ready for them,” she said, referring to the potential tourists from the Southeast Asian region.
