from page 4 Filipino workers are leaving the country everyday leaving their respective families behind just to find jobs in other countries

The outpourings of advertisement have imprisoned our mindset that has horribly put our country in the quagmire of poverty. Today, liberation time has come through cooperativism to break the oppressive marketing system. The cooperatives of the farmers, fisherfolk, Indigenous People and ecological people are now into massive production and value chain approaches. They are now producing, processing and marketing their products to replace foreign products that are just dumped in our malls. In Northern Mindanao, for example, the Northern Mindanao Federation of Dairy Cooperatives is producing and processing the best milk, chocolate and cheese. In Balingasag, the Linabo Agrarian Reform Beneficiary Cooperative is producing Coco-sugar which is finding market abroad as the coco-sugar is of high quality. Organic rice is being produced by our Cooperatives in Banawe. Chocolates are being produced, and processed by Cooperatives in Quezon Province branding the products, “from beans to bar.” These are just some of the amazing stories to share on the products of the thousands of cooperatives nation-wide.
It is indeed so amazing that the cooperatives are now pronouncing that buying is like casting a vote. The time has come to buy local, buy essentials, healthy and organically produced food.
Let the truth reverberate throughout the land that when you buy local, you support the livelihood of the poor and the vulnerable, thus, providing them income while generating jobs. Don’t you know that because you buy local, the 18,481 cooperatives through-out the country have generated some 580,000 jobs nationwide and liberated the poor and the vulnerable from the quagmire of poverty? To quote Speaker of the House Peter Allan Cayetano when I reported to him such truism: “Talaga Chairman Orlan, noon iiwanan ang pamilya para magtrabo sa ibang bansa, pero ngayon hindi umalis kasi naka-trabaho dahil sa Kooperatiba! Ilan po sila? Sobrang kalahating milyong Pilipino po!”

from page 4 phrases that went down in history didn’t come from the last-minute bursts of inspiration.
I also learned from Harvard University historian Richard Marius, “that good writing is a kind of wrestling with the thought”. Or, as New York Times columnist William Safire expressed before: “To communicate, put your thoughts in order, give them a purpose, use them to persuade, to instruct, to discover, to seduce!”
Let’s don’t forget, that every one of us has something to be proud of and that everyone enjoys talking about it. But, you have to make it happen! +++

“In spite of the stricter measures, like requiring all workers to wear the face shield and face masks while reporting to work, including visitors who enter the provincial capitol building, virus has breached the protocols,” Emano said.
In Cagayan De Oro Ctiy, City Councilor Jade Roa Pascual was the first local official, along with a member of the Cagayan De Oro Fire District, who contracted COVID-19 positive.
Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno have been downplaying the spread of the coronavirus in this premier capital of Northern Mindanao until he admitted Tuesday the “mounting” spread of the COVID-19 cases in the city.

“This illegal drugs do not come in as finish product in our country but they come as precursor chemicals that is why we have to be alert,” said Collector John Simon.
The Bureau of Customs in the region will also strengthen its partnership with Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency to strictly monitor the entry of illegal drugs and its precursor chemicals.
After the signing of the memorandum of turn-over the PDEA shall now take charge of the custody of the hydrochloric acid for appropriate handling.
Dir. Emerson Rosales of PDEA 10 said they will now file a Petition for Destruction to ensure the chemicals will be dispose properly and will not be use illegally.
The chemicals are estimated to cost 20 million pesos. (PR/MF)

About 85 percent of their population have already enrolled in the system and there are only a few nonresidents who do manual logging of information. Establishments, schools and churches are now also implementing the use of the MTDC system.
“Dito sa aming probinsya nagpulong na ang Provincial Task Force and they are planning to replicate our system. Through Malungon.ph, napakadali pong mag-register at kumuha ng QR code. Pinoprotektahan din ang privacy ng ating kababayan,” Constantino added. (Our Provincial Task Force already discussed the replication of our system. Through Malungon.ph, it is very easy to register and obtain a QR code. We also protect the privacy of our constituents)
The mayor said they got the system from staysafe. ph, which espouses fast monitoring on the destinations of people in the area to contain the spread of COVID-19.
Through their designated information technology (IT) personnel, Constantino said other LGUs can definitely obtain the system to respond to COVID-19 cases in their areas.
Their IT experts also visit various barangays to disseminate information and provide technical knowhow in utilizing the system.
With the MTDC, residents are registered and issued with quick response or QR-coded identification cards to record and track their movements when entering establishments, schools or offices in the area. All residents and visitors who have no QR-coded cards will not be allowed to enter Malungon. (RTP/ PIA10)

TRUTH. JUSTICE. PROGRESS. FEATURE Editor: MARK FRANCISCO Wed-Thu, September 9-10, 2020 12 NGCP introduces drones, aerial thermal inspections to modernize power transmission operations
AS part of its mandate to operate, maintain, and develop the Philippine power grid, NGCP continues to upgrade transmission facilities across the country despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Since NGCP took over operations of the transmission network in 2009, the company put in place a strategic modernization program to replace and upgrade outdated facilities and processes it inherited from the government.
For its operations, NGCP has equipped three of its helicopters with high definition photo and video cameras with gimbal stabilizers, infrared scanning, and UV detection equipment to monitor, inspect, and evaluate the condition of transmission lines and equipment, particularly those inaccessible due to terrain and environmental restrictions. With these helicopters, NGCP can assess, immediately identify, and deploy personnel and equipment. This is especially crucial during emergency power restoration activities after typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other natural or man-made calamities.
NGCP began using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) or drone technology in 2019. With its high definition photo and video capabilities, transmission line inspections are efficiently completed within a shorter amount of time, in contrast to the previous practice of climbing transmission towers. The company has three drones currently in use and will continue to roll-out the use of drones around the country in the coming years.
NGCP is also preparing to introduce a Central Control and Monitoring System (CCMS) to remotely operate its substations. The system will comprise of real-time monitoring software and hardware which will be used for the acquisition, collection, monitoring, and analysis of power data and equipment condition. By operating the CCMS, NGCP will be able to pilot unmanned substations, effectively improving the operational performance of its facilities and provide greater flexibility for expansion.
NGCP substations are also equipped with antiflooding and fire blocking systems. Critical facilities such as the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) buildings in Ormoc and Naga, which connect the Luzon and Visayas Grids, were also refurbished to make them more resilient and to protect them against

possible damage brought about by typhoons and other natural and manmade calamities.
“One of NGCP’s goals is to bring the Philippine power grid to a world-class status in terms of operational resiliency while employing the latest technological advancements. We are also equipping our personnel with the necessary skills and tools to efficiently use and operate these new technologies to provide the country with quality, reliable, and sustainable power transmission services,” explained NGCP.
NGCP is a Filipino-led, privately owned company in charge of operating, maintaining, and developing the country’s power grid, led by majority shareholders and Vice Chairman of the Board Henry Sy, Jr. and Co-Vice Chairman Robert Coyiuto, Jr.
