Oil palm farmers debunk env’mntal group’s claim VOL. 2, No. 226
By Ruffy Magbanua
CAGAYAN DE ORO --- A respected leader in oil palm farming has debunked claim of environmental groups that oil palm plantations cause massive flooding in Mindanao. Areas planted with oil palm in Mindanao are logged-over areas, unlike in Indonesia and Malaysia where rainforests are destroyed to give way for oil palm plantations, said Dr. Pablito Pamplona, a retired professor of the University of Southern Mindanao and a planter of oil palm. “We do not destroy Mindanao’s rainforests, what we develop are those loggedover areas left by loggers in the 70s and 80s,” Dr. Pamplona said. Oil palm farming mitigates rather than aggravates climate change. Extensive scientific studies show that oil palm plantations provide similar environmental mitigating effect as the tropical virgin forests in terms of less fluctuation of daily relative humidity and temperature, he said. Dr. Pamplona also serves as secretary and director of the Philippine Palm Oil Development Council Inc.
Cagayan de Oro City
Friday
(PPDCI). To put the blame on oil palm plantations for the recent flooding in Mindanao is just like killing the oil palm farming, considered as the country’s sunrise industry, the crop being dubbed as miracle palm tree of Asia, he said. MISUNDERSTO OD CROP Dr Pamplona however admitted though that due to its high potential yield, oil palm is not a well-understood crop in the Philippines. “This crop faces negative perception brought about by untrue and distorted information being spread out by some individuals in the guise of environmental concern,” he said. These so-called environmentalists are doing disservice to the poor Filipino farmer whose livelihood can be greatly improved through oil palm farming, Pamplona said. The untrue and distorted facts being spread out must be corrected to place oil palm farming in the right perspective considering the current huge shortage of cooking oil in the country, now being filled up by importation from Malaysia and Indonesia, he said.
Dr. Pamplona cited A Brown Company, Inc which had planted only 500 hectares of oil palm in Tingalan, Opol, Misamis Oriental, not 11,350 hectares as falsely reported by a certain Dr. Phares Parayno of Miriam College in the PDI issue of February 3, 2013. COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP A Brown through its subsidiary A Brown Energy Resources Inc (ABERDI) has developed a community partnership with the people of Opol, Misamis Oriental including the tribal community in the area. Those complaining are notorious people disguised as members of Higaonon tribe who managed to illegally occupy and sell a portion of a former pasture land, now converted into oil palm plantation by ABERDI. For six years now, ABERDI has been in the forefront of employment generation in Kalabugao, Impasugong, Bukidnon and lately, in Tingalan, Opol, Misamis Oriental, and soon in Tignapoloan, Cagayan de Oro. Employed as field maintenance workers of ABERDI’s

Anti-vandalism Task Force in Oro formed
THE city’s police force has activated anti-vandalism ‘Task Force’ to run after vandals in the city’s suburbs, a police officer here said Thursday. Chief Inspector Lemuel Gunda, head of the city’s police operations, said that the ‘task force’ would arrest persons or individuals vandalizing private and public walls and buildings in the city. He said the team would also run after ‘rugby boys,’ a group of street kids that snipped an industrial solvent as the adhesive used for wood, plastics, and metal products. Gunda said that the task force would turn over the rugby boys to the city’s social welfare and development to undergo counseling. He said that the rounding up of rugby boys and vandals were part of the responsibilities of the ‘task force’ organized to run after petty criminals here. CD

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– The City Council here adopted a resolution declaring every February 14 starting this year as ‘One Billion Rising’ in Cagayan de Oro. The resolution was passed during the city council’s regular session Tuesday on the occasion of the 15th Anniversary of Gabriela Women’s Party. Vice Mayor Caesar Ian E. Acenas authored the resolution in recognition of the Filipino women’s struggle against all forms of exploitation and oppression. Rhodora Bulosan, regional coordinator of Gabriela, informed the city council that on Feb. 14, 2013, a Valentines Day, one billion women would go out on the streets to walk, dance, rise up, and demand an end to poverty and violence. According to the women’s group, today a billion women – one of every three women on the planet was a victim of rape or beaten in her lifetime. ‘One Billion Rising’ was a promise that (we) would rise up with women and men worldwide to say, “Enough! The violence ends now,” the Gabriela letter reads in part. The Cagayan de Oro Leg of the One Billion Rising would take place on Valentines Day, 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Magsaysay Park. CD

4Ps successfully implemented in Caraga By Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN City - The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) was successfully implemented in Caraga Region, based on objective, as revealed by the study conducted by the Philippine Normal University (PNU)Agusan Campus. This is what Dr. Fabian Pontiveros of PNU said during the first quarter meeting of the Regional Development Council-Social Development Committee (RDC-SDC) held Tuesday in one of the convention centers here. Dr. Pontiveros said the PNU was commissioned by the RDC-SDC to con-
duct a study to determine the effect of the program at the household level of the first and second set of beneficiaries in the region. He further said the study also determined the level of achievement of the objectives of the program, as well as to provide policy recommendations related to the implementation of
the program. As of January 2013, the regional analysis and result of the study had already been consolidated by PNUAgusan Campus, and was presented during the exit conference with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and other stakeholders on February 1, 2013.

Dr. Pontiveros said a cost-sharing scheme was applied for this study where SUCs contributed P40,000 each and a total of P246,400 was sourced from the RDC funds. “A memorandum of agreement signed by concerned agencies and SUCs bind stakeholders to this initiative,” he added. The 4Ps is a poverty reduction and social development strategy of the national government. It provides conditional cash grants to extremely poor households, identified using the National Household Targeting System (NHTS), to improve their health, nutrition and education particularly of children aged 0-14. The program has the following specific objectives: to improve preventive health care among pregnant women and young children;
to increase the enrollment in and attendance rate of children in school; to reduce the incidence of child labor; to raise the average consumption rate in food expenditure of poor households; and to encourage parents to invest in their children’s (and their own) human capital through investments in their health and nutrition, education, and participation in community activities. Aimed at providing social assistance and facilitating social development, it claims to fulfill the country’s commitment to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), namely: eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, achievement of universal primary education, promotion of gender equality, reduction of child mortality and improvement of maternal health.

Single entry approach prevents legal battle By Danilo E. Doguiles
KORONADAL CITY – The Department of Labor and Employment’s Single Entry Approach (SENA) has recently saved a tuna company and one of its employees from a possible lengthy court battle. On January 29, Ruel Bandojo, and employee of the Tuna Exporters Multi-Purpose Cooperative (Tempco), based in General Santos City for four years, filed a request for intervention from the regional office of the National Conciliation and Mediation Board (NCMB-12). Bandojo said that he was unduly suspended by Tempco management based on allegation by a co-worker that Bandojo stole a company product. He claimed that the management action was so abrupt and then placed on a “floating status” since “no other client-company will take him for his reassignment,” as contained in the memo given him by the management. On the same day, officials of NCMB 12 facilitated a
meeting between Tempco management and Bandojo where they agreed to avail of the SENA process. SENA is a reform measure of DOLE, institutionalized by Labor Secretary Baldoz since last year, through D.O. 107-10 to effect faster, fairer, and inexpensive settlement of labor issues and to prevent these issues from maturing into actual labor cases, or in this instance, a criminal or civil case. Under the SENA, single entry approach desks (SEADs) were installed in every DOLE office nationwide to serve as entry points in speeding up the resolution of all cases affecting workers and employers. Trained officers, called SEADOs, man the desks to facilitate conciliationmediation meetings between opposing parties with objective to settle an issue within 30 days. After more than an hour from the start of conciliation-mediation meeting on Friday, the management, without admitting lapses

Think a minute. In a war rule number one is you must know who you’re fighting. Otherwise, you’ll waste a lot of time and energy fighting the wrong enemy. Our life’s daily struggles are like a battle. But many times the enemy we’re fighting is right inside our own mind! Nothing can defeat and damage your life more than your own wrong thinking about yourself. If you believe that you’re not smart or don’t have any special abilities, then you’ll never succeed in life because that’s just how you’ll live. We become whatever we think we are—even if it’s not true to begin with. That’s why the Bible says: “As a
Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst man thinks about himself, so is that man.” Your low self-confidence will limit and paralyze you. You may actually have many abilities, but if you don’t believe you have them, then you’ll never use them and benefit from them. In zoos, a baby elephant is tied with a strong, thick chain to a big post. At first, the elephant pulls and tries to get free from the
chain. But finally it gives up and stops trying. After that, only a small, thin rope is needed to tie that big, powerful elephant down and stop it from moving far. The rest of its life, that elephant believes the lie and illusion that it’s too weak to break that little rope. You see, we all can become a bit like that elephant. If I let myself think and believe that I cannot go any further
in life, even though it’s not true, then I won’t. That’s the power my own mind and wrong thinking about myself can have over my life. Friend, if you realize that you’ve been holding yourself back from living the successful life God created you for—because of your own wrong thinking about yourself, your own fears and lack of self-confidence, you can change your mind about yourself today. Just ask Jesus Christ to take full charge of your thinking and way of living. Jesus is the One Who can show you the abilities and potential He’s given you. He’ll give you the power to actually start changing and living your life to the fullest. Just Think a Minute.
Cag. de Oro’s model police precinct
WEDNESDAY night I dropped by at the Police Precinct 1 in the Divisoria Plaza in Cagayan De Oro. For over two decades, I have not gone to any of the city’s nine police precincts. For my part, the unexpected visit at PP1 was a surprise. The ambience of PPI was in contrast to most police precincts known to most of us. After all, what does one expects of a male dominated police precinct but the Cris Diaz usual chauvinistic character of disarray and stinking comfort rooms? Adding to the atmosphere of the horrible smell of makeshift detention cells are a common sight in police precincts. However, the police precinct in Plaza Divisoria has demonstrated how a real professional police precinct should look like. A glass door fitted at the precinct’s main entrance allows one, both from the outside and inside, to observe things going around the precinct. Things inside the precinct were neat and properly arranged. It has two air conditioning units, burnished chairs, and painted walls that speak of upbeat men in uniform. The precinct has a water dispenser, a mini kitchen, internet ready computers, a flat-screened television, and a small office for the station commander’s war room. However, the police officers clad in official uniforms struck me most. I could not but admire the professional
gaiety seldom observed in most police precincts in the country where unkempt plainclothes men normally abound. Of course, police officers assigned at the PPI did not know me. It was also unfortunate that I have not met the PPI station commander. I would like to find out whether the private office of the station commander would compensate its outside ambiance. I used to cover the police beat before. Naturally, I have many friends in the local police rank-and-file then. For instance, I used to play chess with some police officers at the old police precinct at the Divisoria Plaza then known as the OKK (Operation Kahusay ug Kalinaw). OKK was where my reporters also hanged out. I am sure, most, if not, all of the current city editors and reporters who once worked with me must have covered the OKK in their budding days. I frequent at the Maharlika headquarters and the PNP regional headquarters in Camp Alagar at Gusa before. Some of my close friends have already retired as PNP Generals ‘though some of them are still active – now as senior PNP officers. However, I have lost contact with them anymore. Anyway, I would like to commend the men and women at PPI in Plaza Divisoria for maintaining a professional, clean, and well-kept police precinct. No doubt, the people of Cagayan de Oro would be proud of PPI at Plaza Divisoria. To the unknown men and women at PPI, here is a double thumb up! React: crisguardian@yahoo.com
Oil spill in Calapan City, and no one is moving?
LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Jesus answered, `The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent…” (John 6:29, the Holy Bible). -oooGOV’T MUST COME UP WITH MORE WORK FOR PINOYS: Now that the Philippine economy is greatly improving, at least according to the claims of the Aquino government, our officials must strive to create more meaningful and economically-fulfilling jobs for our people, to prevent them from suffering the fate of more and more overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who are either being killed or injured in the course of their employment abroad. In fact, the killing of a Filipino crewmember of a chemical tanker and the taking as hostages of 23 other OFWs in the same vessel just last February 04, 2013 in Nigeria, and the violent death
Kakampi mo ang batas Atty. Batas Mauricio of eight OFWs in another gory hostage-taking incident in Algeria days ago, are not going to be the last of such tragic incidents involving OFWs. As long as there will be Filipinos who find it necessary to go abroad just to find gainful work that would generate the revenues needed to support their families, there will be Filipinos who will be killed, hostaged, or abused while working. By going abroad, our countrymen continue opening themselves up to the possibility of being killed, maimed or injured in their work. This is something
that was predicted to happen by the Bible, in Deuteronomy 28:15, 32. -oooOIL SPILL IN CALAPAN CITY, AND NOBODY IS MOVING? It’s been over a week since M/V Balino 168 of the Besta Shipping Lines tilted over and capsized at the pier of Calapan City in Oriental Mindoro and yet the ill-fated inter-island ferry, traveling between Calapan City and Batangas City on a daily basis, remains halfsubmerged and literally untouched and unattended to. The sight is awesome, but it is equally horrendous and
is giving the creeps to a lot of Calapan City residents, as well as to thousands of travelers along the country’s nautical highway, principally because when M/V Balino capsized, it brought down with it a number of cars, jeeps and even trucks which, as of this moment, are still submerged and under water. The problem with this, I was told while I was at the Calapan City pier last Thursday, February 07, 2013 waiting for a ferry-ride back to Manila, was that there is now an on-going oil and gasoline spill which is inevitably polluting the waters around the pier, causing death to the fishes and other marine resources in the area. Residents are wondering why the Philippine Ports Authority, the Philippine Coast Guard, the City Government and Besta Shipping Lines are not doing anything about this. moving | page 10

EDUCATION PROGRAM AT ITS BEST
A deeper view
By Miraflor Baqueque-Salinas
It is very important that all people are intelligent to make our nation progressive. It will help more in thinking of best intervention for maintaining the progress of the country. It is being fulfilled in a new and decentralized Education and Technology. This program is implemented in the Elementar y and Secondar y by providing new gadgets in teaching especially in the field of computer, video, High Tech libraries and providing high technology gadgets in Science Laboratory and Machine Shop for progressive Education and Technology. Adopt-A-School Program is implemented to add more instructional materials for public schools. There are many projects created by different schools to promote to our pupils to become God-fearing, patriot, humane and nature-lover.
Education for all (EFA) and Dropout Intervention Program (DIP) are means of addressing the problem of dropout and to slow down dropout rate especially in the Elementary Education. Character Education/Good Manners and Right Conduct (CE/GMRC) is again part of the subject areas to promote character building and values manifestation among young children. Manpower Training Centers are built to teach out of school youth in terms of technical and life-long skills also in helping poor but deserving students in tertiary education in terms of scholarship and Education Service Contracting (ESC). The goal is to help students to enroll in private institutions. The Study Now Pay Later Plan (SNPLP) and Poverty Alleviation Fund Scholarship have the same goal with ESC. Advertorial
Jesse E.L. Bacon II THE country, and this includes Mindanao, of course, is facing at this point a lot of challenges in all fronts that are all man-made. These man-made challenges or man-made problems, if you wish, are daring everyone to be part in the effort to address them. At this point, fence-sitters can no longer be tolerated for one could either be part of the solution or be the
problem. In yesterday’s column, we talked about the evils brought about by the unabated felling of trees causing the balding of our mountains with their forest cover. This wanton felling of trees that caused the massive flooding that Cagayan de Oro and Iligan experienced when typhoon Sendong visted the two places in 2011 is certainly man-made.
Saving in Pag-IBIG gives coop members a sense of security CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - To further strengthen the bond between Pag-IBIG Fund and El Salvador City’s Cogon Multi Purpose Cooperative (CMPC), a signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), for the latter’s membership activation, will take place today at the Cagayan de Oro Branch. However, even before the MOA signing could take place between both parties; CMPC’s President Mr. Ramon T. Jamis already remitted the members’ initial savings payment, at the Pag-IBIG Fund Cagayan de Oro Branch, last January 31, 2013. During a recent interview, Mr. Jamis emphasized, “samtang aduna kami pangita karon, ang mga opisyales uban sa mga miyembro sa CMPC, mipili nga makatigum para sa among kaugmaon, pinaagi sa pagpamiyembro sa Pag-IBIG Fund, (While we still have a source of income now, we the officers and members of the CMPC, chose to save as members of Pag-IBIG Fund). “Naglantaw man gud kami alang sa among kaayuhan sa umaabot, busa nag desisyon kami ng mag-gahin ug dos porsyento (2%) sa among pangita matag bulan, isip tinigum sa Pag-IBIG Fund, ug sa maong pamaagi adunay seguridad para sa
among kaugmaon ug para sa among pamilya,” (While looking into our prospective benefits and privileges, we decided to set aside 2% of our monthly income as savings in Pag-IBIG Fund, thereby giving us a sense of security for our future and also for our family.), Jamis asserted. Moreover, the Cogon MPC is a duly organized cooperative whose main trade is lending. The cooperative is composed of currently employed members, as well as self employed individuals (i.e. farmers and vendors). Their main office is located at Cogon, El Salvador City, Misamis Oriental. In a related development, the Provident Savings Program in Pag-IBIG Fund provides higher dividend earnings to member savers’ accounts, as compared to other financial institutions, because of its tax free salient feature. Similarly, as of 2011, Pag-IBIG Fund declared and proportionately added P8.49 Billion as dividends among it 10.2 million members. As of March 2012, PagIBIG Fund has grown financially firmer and robust with P307 Billion in total assets; which was enhanced with the increase in members’ equity amounting to P220 Billion, for the same period.

Man-made woes
And it is for the same reason why typhoon Pablo brought so much destruction when it had its landfall in Surigao and Davao Or. December of last year. Sendong and Pablo were not man-made for they are natural calamities, but the massive and incalculable destruction they brought were abated by man’s greed thus man-induced. Ne w s p ap e r re p or t s shortly after Pablo unleashed his wrath on the hapless people of Davao Or. even insinuated that local politicians had a hand in the cutting of the forest cover in the mountains of Cateel and Baganga. But no official investigation had been undertaken to look into these newspaper reports to verify its veracity. But engaging in illegal logging is not the only charges we hear being leveled against local politicians in Mindanao and elsewhere. Politicians are likewise ac-
cused of a lot of shenanigans foremost of which is graft and corruption, charges that no politician ever admitted even if they already convicted by the anti-graft court Sandiganbayan. When politicians are accused of involvement in graft and corrupt practices, almost always, they cry political harassment or simply brush aside these charges leveled against them claiming these are just politically motivated. But are the politicians really immune from becoming corrupt making their denial of engaging in corrupt practices worth considering? Understanding corruption is to understand what the bible meant when it said that the believers of Christ are the salt of the earth. How? We all know that aside from making our food taste better, salt is also used in preserving food such as meat to prevent decay or

Butuan, Belgian firm ink deal for waste management BY PAT SAMONTE
BUTUAN CITY – Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. signed a Memorandum of Agreement with a Belgian company for solid waste management with the city providing materials for development the end products of which will be marketed or sold to domestic and foreign buyers. In a brief media briefing, Amante said that once implemented, the project will open new jobs to local workers and boost the city’s economy while providing means to properly seggregate wastes. Signed at the mayor’s conference room on Wednesday, the MOU provides that apart
from wastes produced, the city will cultivate its “vast agricultural areas for agro-forestry development in order to attain optimum use of resources” to be used as materials for the project. On the other hand, ANDINAX, represented by its chairman and chief executive officer, Axel De Buysscher, has agreed to find financial resources, search for buyers for all end products and make available its expertise to best assist the city of Butuan in the implementation of the project. Based in Brecht, Belgium, De Buyssscher said ANDINAX is engaged in power generation with the use of desiccated biomass crops, Bana grass and solid wastes.

1,500 hectare-oil palm plantation are mostly indigenous peoples (IPs) belonging to the Higaonon Tribe, one of seven active tribal communities in Northern Mindanao, said ABERDI President Robertino Pizarro who is also a PPDCI board of director. TRIBAL COMMUNITY AS WORKERS Of the almost 400 plantation-based personnel hired by ABERDI, 75 percent of whom belong to the Higaonon Tribe paid on DOLEapproved minimum daily wage rate. In Kalabugao, Impasug-ong, ABERDI workers receive Php259 per day while Php247 daily wage is being implemented in Tingalan, Opol, MisOr. On top of the daily minimum pay, workers enjoy other benefits like SSS, Philhealth, subsidized uniform allowance, rice and Christmas giveaways, reinforcing ABERDI’s commitment in making a meaningful impact on communities where the company operates. A monthly payroll of Php3.3 million is being spent by ABERDI, creating significant positive contribution not only for the workers and their families but also to the local economy of Impasug-ong, Bukidnon and Opol, MisOr, Pizarro said. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ABERDI has likewise enlisted a significant number of local residents in both locations -- Kalabugao and Tingalan, Opol – as seasonal plantation workers (pakyaw). A cooperative store run by A Brown employees was also established
in Kalabugao to cater to the needs of the plantation workers in the area. In 2010, ABERDI put up a Php300,000-Tulogan Center for the Higaonon tribal community in Kalabugao. It is now the center of all tribal activities in the area. In Opol, MisOr, Mayor Dexter Yasay has recognized the initial inroads of developments infused by ABERDI in his municipality. “Aside from religiously paying the minimum wage for Opol oil palm workers, the establishment of oil palm plantation served as the driver of socio-economic activity in my municipality”, Yasay said. For over two years in its operation in Tingalan, Opol, ABERDI has undertaken several road repair and maintenance such as the Salawaga-Tingalan road in the amount of P600,000; Bagocboc-San Simon road, P1 million; Palot-ora road and spillway repair, P200,000; Limbasan road and spillway repair, P100,000; and Tingalan poblacion, P100,000. Recently, a 4-kilometer farm-to-market road situated in sitio Binigwayan-nahulogan, Malanang, Opol, MisOr was constructed by ABERDI at a cost of Php100,000. Mayor Yasay has also enlisted the assistance of ABERDI worth Php100,000 in the transfer and rehab work of Opol’s Rizal Monument project. Last month, ABERDI donated plastic pipes worth Php18,000 for the communal water system of barangay Tingalan, Opol. During its first year of operation in 2010, some 173 Opol and Kalabugao workers were able to send
their children to school, pay monthly school fees and eat three times a day. “The project is giving good impact on the economy of Opol. In fact, before the establishment of the plantation, there was little economic activity except for the illegal mining along river banks and mountains of Opol. If you visit Opol right now, you will see encouraging results,” Yasay said. Before the entry of ABERDI in Opol, MisOr, some people can hardly get good meal, but since the plantation opened, we’re proud to hear positive feedback, Yasay said. NATIONAL GREENING PROGRAM ABERDI alongside with the people’s organizations KASAMAKA in Kalabugao and KMBT in Opol has established nurseries for DENR’s National Greening Program. So far, more than 100,000 Falcata tree seedlings have been planted in more than 100 hectares classified by DENR as protected areas. Oil palm is highly recognized as Asia’s sunrise industry because of its tremendous potential for high yield and farm income aside from being an excellent forest cover. OIL PALM REFINERY PLANT ABERDI is the first company to open up oil palm plantation in Kalabugao, Impasug-ong, Bukidnon, Tingalan, Opol, MisOr and other neighboring areas in Northern Mindanao. ABERDI operates a 10-tonner crude palm oil (CPO) mill plant in Poblacion, Impasug-ong, Bukidnon. Under construction on the same site is a Php

OIL PALM NOT A THREAT
Oil palm is never a threat to the country’s coconut industry but rather serves as a complement to coconut oil. Pamplona said the availability of oil palm would improve the health condition of many malnourished Filipinos who now consume an average of 9.2 kg of vegetable oil per year as compared to the world per capita consumption of 25 kg. No other crop can give our farmers today with easy to plant crop and yields high income for the family with so much fun except the much touted miracle palm tree of Asia – the oil palm, Dr. Pamplona added.
Emano thanks Habitat for helping Oro’s poor MAYOR Vicente Y. Emano this week expressed gratitude to Habitat for Humanity for its efforts and intention to help the city’s poor. Aside from constructing decent and permanent shelters for Typhoon Sendong survivors, the HFH will be constructing a day care center at the Cagayan de Oro Resettlement and Socialized Housing Program in Barangay Pagatpat. This was assured by HFH regional program director Leonilo Escalada during the groundbreaking and capsule laying activity held last Friday of the 16-hectare relocation project. In addition to this, he said 50-percent of the labor force of the housing project will come from beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), who will also receive support for the livelihood project they will undertake. Mayor Emano said HFH has contributed much in helping the city’s poor constituents. “Dako na kining tabang sa atong mga igsoong kabus, ug mapasalamaton kaayo kita sa gitanyag sa Habitat for Humanity,” he added.
CHARACTER, A PART OF PERSONALITY By Miraflor Baqueque-Salinas
MDN: Feb. 8, 15 & 22, 2013
Personality, deeply ingrained and relatively enduring patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior. Personality usually refers to that, which is unique about a person, the characteristics that distinguish him or her from other people. Thought, emotion, and behavior as such do not constitute a personality, which is, rather, the dispositions that underlie these elements. Personality implies predictability about how a person will act or react under different circumstances. Having good character is also an important part of having good health, when you have a good character; you have good relationship with others. You can make decisions about your health and fitness. These are some important character traits: CARING Showing kindness to friends, family and others. CITIZENSHIP Having pride in your school and community and obeying rules and laws. FAIRNESS Treating others equally, playing by the rules, and being a good sport. RESPECT Being considerate of yourself and others. RESPONSIBILITY Doing what you are supposed to do. HONESTY Telling the truth so others can trust you.

-oooCALAPAN CITY PIER, PROOF OF SUCCESSFUL PPP: But that oil-spill problem aside, I couldn’t help but be simply amazed at the improvements introduced in the pier by the Nautical Port Management and Services Incorporated, the private concessionaire that was given the contract to operate it and its counterpart pier in Roxas, Oriental, Mindoro, four years ago. When I started going to Oriental Mindoro in the early 1990s as a lawyer handling a variety of cases for several clients in the island, I saw that the pier then was a typical port with its squalid surroundings, no defined waiting areas, quirky toilets, children swimming alongside docked ships asking for coins to be tossed to them, and hold-up men and thieves masquerading as porters or pier hands, among others. Not only are these sights gone. Standing in the pier now is a spick and span and fully air-conditioned passenger lounge and waiting area, complete with flat TV screens showing local and international programs provided by cable operators, wi-fi services, and uniformed personnel all attentive to the needs of their patrons. Indeed, if there is any proof of the success of a public-private partnership, the Calapan City pier is one of them. Congratulations. -oooREACTIONS?

The Mines and Geosciences Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources has submitted a map identifying hazardous areas in the city’s urban and outskirt barangays considered as flood and landslide prone areas. The city government has started to relocate residents in ‘hazardous areas’ to safer grounds to avoid a repeat of the tragedy spawned by typhoon Sendong in midDecember in 2012. More than 600 people died and properties worth millions of pesos damaged in a deadly flash flood along the city’s river banks and low lying areas at the height of typhoon Sendong last year. CD

No. 12495-2013, the 16th City Council headed by Vice Mayor Caesar Ian E. Acenas authorized the implementation of the fourth tranche salary increase effective January 1. Funds for this have been incorporated in the city’s 2013 General Appropriations Ordinance.
OTHER BENEFITS It may be recalled that upon the order of Mayor Emano, the P5,000 Clothing Allowance of city employees each was released last month. City Hall employees likewise received Productivity Bonus of P2,000 each recently. “Hinaut nga kining mga benepisyo magamit unta alang sa maayong katuyoan sama sa edukasyon sa ilang mga kabataan ug panginahanglanon sa ilang tagsa-tagsa ka pamilya, ug dili hinoon mopadulong ngadto sa mga dautang bisyo sama sa sugal, inom ug uban pa,” he said in a press statement.

in Manila. Through live streaming, the Manila-based media were asked to throw in the first two questions which were answered live by the panelists in Davao without any technology glitch at all. While many international conferences have been held in the city, this may well be the first time that a joint press conference between Metro Manila and Mindanao was held live. The availability of good internet connection in the city shows why Davao is one of the top BPO areas that have become a favorite among BPO providers next to Metro Manila and Cebu. Various BPO companies both voice and non-voice have offices in the city. This is the second time that the PDF has been held in the city, the first one in 2005. “Mindanao is one of the focused areas for the PDF which was held here in the city primarily to give the partners a chance to get a feel of Mindanao,” Purisima said. No less than Konishi commented that Davao City is a lot better than the other areas in the Philippines.(lovely a. carillo)

City-based contractor as Chinese firm Luda Chemicals Inc. (LCI) Residents have registered their opposition to the extraction in discussions on air and on the social networks. They feared that the extraction might slowly kill the pine trees, which help provide Malaybalay its cool weather. Alima estimated the value of the seized resins to be around P600,000, at P20 per kilo. Harvesters in the village told this reporter they are paid P11 per kilo to harvest the resins, done like the harvesting of rubber saps. He said the extraction is reportedly done within and outside BFI’s 38,000-hectare Industrial Forest Management Agreement (IFMA), which will expire in 2016. Alima stressed that BFI had been warned as early as May 2012 that the extraction of resins, believed to be an ingredient to produce inks and paints, requires a permit because it is still considered an “ordinary minor forest product.” “They told us they will process the permit. As of now, we were told they are still processing their integrated annual operation plan,” he added. Alima said the BFI and LCI have been invited to a DENR administrative deliberation on February 13 for them to “shed light” on the matter. The seized sacks of pine tree resins have been piled at a dirt road in Barangay Can-ayan and covered with cogon grasses, apparently to protect its quality. LCI reportedly employed watchmen to protect the stock from saboteurs. Over radio station DXDB Tuesday, Danny Lucine, a BFI officer, admitted that BFI does not have a permit to extract pine tree resins. He said, however, that they have a memorandum of agreement with the LCI.
PAGTUTURO, ISANG MISYON By Miraflor Baqueque-Salinas
Sinasabi ng aking mga ninuno na ang patuturo daw ang itinuturing na pinaka desenting trabaho sapagkat lahat ng mga empleyado at malalaking tao sa ating lipunan ay nagkamit ng kani-kanilang mga trabaho dahil sa pagtuturo ng isang guro. Minsan sa aking kamusmusan ay una kong naging ambisyon ang pagtuturo ngunit sa kalaunan biglang nagbago ang mura kong isipan lalo na pag nakikita ko ang aking tiyuhin na laging pagod galing sa pagtuturo at pagkarating sa bahay papel pa rin ang ina atupag. Sabi ko sa sarili ko nakatapos na nga ako ng pag aaral paaralan pa rin ang pupuntahan ko sa araw-araw. Ngunit ng ako’y nagkaisip nakikita ko na ang mga guro pala ay hindi lamang
isang ordinaryong mamamayan kung hindi sila ang tinatawag na mga buhay na bayani. Bakit? Dahil hindi isang simpleng trabahong ang pagtuturo kung hindi ito’y napakalaking responsibilidad at determinasyon. Ito’y mas lalo kong napatunayan ng ako’y nakatapos ng pagiging guro at nabigyan ako ng trabaho sa lugar na ni kailanman hindi ko pa napuntahan mula sa aking kabataan. Noong una, gusto ko sanang umatras kaya lang sinabi ko sa sarili ko baka wala ng trabahong darating pa kaya tinanggap ko nalang. Naranasan ko ng umiyak dahil sa gusto ko ng umuwi sa aking lugar na kinagisnan ngunit kung titingnan ko ang mga batang naghihintay sa akin bigla nawawala ang mga luhang dumadaloy sa
aking mga mata dahil alam ko ako lamang ang pag asa ng mga paslit na ito. Kung sila’y iiwan ko paano nalang sila kung lahat ng guro ay gusto rin silang iwan katulad ko. Nagising nalang ako isang umaga na napamahal na sa akin ang mga batang minsan kong inayawan dahil sila pala ay simbolo ng kamusmusan at kasayahan. Kahit pa man sila ay naghihirap at walang makain, nakukuha pa rin nilang tumawa at maging buhay ay masaya. Akala ko noon, ako lang ang dapat magturo sa kanila, nagkamali pala ako sapagkat sila rin pala ay nagbibigay ng mga aral sa buhay kung saan dapat akong maging masaya kung anong meron ako. Kaya ngayon, hindi lang ako isang guro, isa rin akong MISYONERO.
Alima, who assumed the DENR-Malaybalay post recently, said his office has no copy of the MOA, hence they have no idea about the scope of the contract. He doubted the initial statements by BFI and LCI that the extraction is only experimental. “Unbelievable, this is a big stock we got here,” Alima said. Huang Ming Xing, a resource person from LCI, said during a hearing at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan in May 2012 that the extraction of resin “is not harmful to pine trees.” Last year’s hearing was meant to shed light on the supply contract between BFI and LCI to tap resins from pine trees inside the 38,000-hectare IFMA of the former. At the time, then DENRMalaybalay chief Ferdinand Dagolo wrote BFI about the need to get an extraction permit. Environment Secretary Ramon Paje also directed BFI then to stop its tree harvesting operations, reportedly pursuant to the
instruction of President Aquino to implement a total log ban in the country. Back then, BFI’s Abordo said the experimental deal with LCI on resin extraction “was a transition to BFI’s alternative source of income.” BFI, previously the Bukidnon Industrial Tree Plantation Project (BIPP), is a government-owned and controlled corporation under the National Resources Development Corporation. As BIPP, it was funded by the New Zealand government until it was terminated as a foreign-assisted project of the DENR in 1998. Board member Nemesio Beltran Jr. has sponsored a resolution urging President Aquino to cancel BFI’s IFMA ahead of its expiration in 2016, and its contract with the Chinese firm. He cited that BFI and LCI “misled” the provincial board during a hearing last year that their initial deal was only experimental, and will not be pursued without the go-signal from provincial officials.

becoming putrid, which is what corruption is all about. So as salt of the earth, the believers of Christ ought to preserve society from corruption. Corruption, therefore, should be understood to mean the decay, the decomposition, the rotting of man or the man-made social structures. Under present man-made social structures such as the electoral system, the dynasty system, to mention just two, how can a politician insulate himself from being corrupted? Or can he insulate himself from the vagaries of corruption? Answering the above
question necessitates a look at our man-made electoral system. While every politician during election time professes to want to serve the people, do they really mean what they profess? Is service not the last thing in their mind when they are already elected? And why would one spend P100 million or more just for him to become mayor of a city, for example, thus serve the people in that locality? Politicians, we have to admit, seek public office for purposes other than service for no person in his right mind will ever spend millions of pesos to become a servant. This point alone already shows us how flawed this man-made electoral

PAG-Ibig hosts mass wedding this Valentine’s Day By Ruby Leonora R. Balistoy MALAYBALAY City––True to its name, the Home Development Mutual Fund, widely known as PAG-IBIG Fund, is now gearing up for the grandest mass wedding rites this Valentines Day. Elizabeth M. Amarille, officer-in charge, Pag-ibig Fund Malaybalay Branch, said under its “I Do. I Do. Araw ng Pag-ibig (Love Day)” project, the mass wedding is offered to those couples living together for more than five years who had no legal civil unions because they could not afford fees at the National Statistics Office (NSO), civil registry and for the judge who will conduct the wedding ceremony. “But first, they must become a Pag-ibig member,” she said. Amarille said a participant will have a chance to win a brand new
house and lot during wedding rites. Those interested can apply at Malaybalay City civil registry office at city hall. A P100 registration fee will be charged per applicant. Amarille said this project not only helps live-in couples legalize their union, it also develops them towards establishing financial security for their families. Those who want to join the civil mass wedding can register at Malaybalay civil registration and bring an affidavit that they live together, a community tax certificate, birth certificate, certificate of no marriage, barangay certificate and valid identification cards. For more information they can call Malaybalay Local Civil Registrar at (088)221-3705.

have also wrought havoc on our political and social life. And to ensure their perpetual hold to power, these very same politicians ordained another man-made system, the dynasty system that ensures their perpetual hold to power through succession by their nearest of kin. But like all other manmade problems, collectively the people can wage battle against any and all manmade problems or challenges by first recognizing the problem and thus address such man-made problems. In the case of the politicians it is through the ballot by voting wisely. (Reactions at jelbacon@ yahoo.com)

Sa matag buntag, usa ka ordinaryo nga talan awon nga samtang nag andam ka arun maka tungha ka sa eskwelahan, aduna usab Iain-Iain nga gimbuhaton si tatay ug nanay. Si tatay nangandam na usab arun maka adto na siya sa opisina mao nga anaa usab siya gahulat arun mabakante ang banyo arun nga siya makaligo. Sa laing bahin, si nanay pud nagkapuliki ug pangandam sa mga uniporme, pag init ug tubig para ikaligo ug pagluto sa paborito nga sud-an pampamahaw sa dili pa maglakaw. Apan kini mao ang tipikal nga panghitabo sa pamilyang Pilipino, apan ayaw katingala nga anaay mga pamilya nga dili ingun niini ang talan awun. Si TatayNanay, si Nanay-Tatay Gitudlo kanato sa atong tulunghaan nga ang tatay mao ang haligi sa atong panimalay ug siya ang nanginabuhi alang sa pamilya. Siya mao ang gahatag sa mga unang panginahanglan sama sa pagkaon, edukasyon, bisti ug uban pang galastuhan sa panimalay. Sa laing bahin, si nanay pud ang nagsilbing suga sa atong panimalay nga diin siya gayud ang nag-atiman sa iyang mga anak samtang toa nagtrabaho ang amahan sa iyang mga anak. Siya ang
gaandam kung unsa ang lutuon sa balay, badyet ug ang ang pagpahapsay sa panimalay ug siya ang giya sa pag eskwela sa iyang mga anak. Apan sa modernong panginabuhe karon ug dikta sa kapit os sa kinabuhi sa pagkakaron mao nga sila “Tatay mao Nanay” ug “Nanay mao Tatay” na pud. Ordinaryo na karon sa pamilyang Pilipino kung asa sila tatay ug nanay pareho nang nagtrabaho. May uban usab nga pamilya karon nga si nanay ang nagtrabaho samtang si tatay ang nahabilin sa balay mao ang nag atiman sa mga anak. Sa laing bahin, may uban usab nga pamilya nga ang amahan ang ga badyet para sa pamilya ug siya ang nagsilbi nga agakay sa iyang mga anak sa pag eskwela ug uban pang mga aktibidadis sa eskwelahan. Apan wala kini nagpasabot sa pag ubos sa respeto sa imong amahan ug pag biay biay sa iyang kahibalo. Dili usab kini dapat magresulta nga ikaw magtanom ug kasuko sa imong inahan nga ikaw wala naatiman niya ug si tatay mao ang nag atiman nimo. Ang pinaka labaw nga imong hunahunaon mao nga palaran ka nga naa kay inahan ug amahan nga nagmahal kanimo ug nagmatuto sa imo nga walay gidahom nga bisan unsang ganti.

Superal sizzles with 58 pts, pulls away by 8 CAGAYAN de Oro––Princess Superal blitzed the backside of the Pueblo de Oro Golf and Country Club with an eagle and two birdies and came away with 58 Molave points, moving closer to retaining the Southern Ladies golf crown with a whopping eight-point lead over Harmie Constantino in the second round here yesterday. Just two points up on Daniella Uy despite an opening 57 Wednesday, Superal went on an attack mode coming home, birdying Nos. 11 and 12 then hitting an eagle on the par-5 15th to pull away from the field and close in on the crown she won in sudden death over Sunshine Baraquiel in Cebu last year. The top ICTSI-The Country Club bet also hit two birdies against two bogeys at the front but came out strong at the back to close out with a fiery 32 and a four-under 68 in medal play, With 115-point aggregate, Superal, 16, opened an eight-point lead over Constantino of Camp Aguinaldo, who rallied with four birdies against a bogey at the back to salvage a one-under 71 worth 55 points and a 107 heading to the final 18 holes of the 50th staging of the annual event sponsored by Philippine Sports Commission, WWWExpress, Security Bank, Hans Brumann Jeweler, DPC Yellow Pages, St. Luke’s Medical Center, Leisure and Resorts World Corp, and Mizuno. For the first time in the history of the tournament, a car is put up as Hole in One prize by Toyota Motor Phils. Del Monte’s Apple Fudolin scored a 52 or a two-over 74 as she stayed at third at 106 while Sarah Ababa and ICTSI-TCC teammate Abby Arevalo made 54 and 52 points, respectively, for joint fourth at 105. Erstwhile second placer Daniella Uy stumbled with a five-over 77 worth 49 points and tumbled to sixth at 104. Sofia Chabon primed up for an ICTSITCC sweep as she carded a second straight 52 for a 104, snatching a one-point lead over first round leader Annika Cedo of Southwoods, who had 50 points and a 103, in the Class A side of the event sanctioned and organized by the National Golf Association of the Phils. Lois Kaye Go of Cebu Country Club remained in the title hunt with a 101 after a 51. Forest Hills’ Violeta Pegels shot 48 points as she moved past Grace Montilla of Riviera and Pueblo de Oro’s Carolene Go Jeun to grab the Class B lead with an 85. Montilla made a second 41 for an 82 while Jeun slowed down with a 39 for an 80.
