Capitol opens “Balay Nenotchka” Human rights as MisOr CareS extension office violations victims TAGOLOAN, Misamis Oriental - The provincial government of Misamis Oriental on Tuesday, July 8, opened the Misamis Oriental Care System (MisOrCareS) extension office in this coastal town to look into the health needs of the residents in the eastern district of the province. Provincial Governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano said that the new health care system revolutionizes the health care program of

the province in cooperation with the PhilHealth program of the national government. “There is no difference with the MisOr CareS and the PhilHealth program. The provincial government has just expanded the services in terms of health care and social services program,” Emano said during the opening of the MIsOrCareS office here Tuesday afternoon.

beneficiary would be extended free hospitalization in all the eight provincial hospitals in Misamis Oriental apart from the social services that include free burial and scholarship program, Emano added. The “Balay Nenotchka” MisOr CareS office would serve the towns of Tagoloan, Villanueva, and Jasaan, Emano said. He said that the extension office would also serve as the distribution center of the “MisOrCareS” access cards to beneficiaries of the program. The provincial government intends to distribute a total of 100,000 MisOr CareS access cards this year in four stages at 25,000 beneficiaries every three months, Emano said.

The “Balay Nenotchka” was official residence of the young Emano when he served as the town mayor of Tagolo-an for three consecutive terms before he became Congressman of the Misamis Oriental’s Second District in 2007. As representative of the province’s second district, Enano converted the “Balay Nenotchka” as the Office of the Second Congressional District of Misamis Oriental until he was elected governor of Misamis Oriental during the midterm elections in 2013. “B a l ay Ne n o t c h k a” derived the name from Emano’s elder sister “Nenotchka” who died in a car accident in Tagoloan more than 10 years ago.

DENR Undersecretary and Chairman of the Philippine Operation Group on Ivory and other Wildlife (POGI) Atty. Ernesto D. Adobo Jr. led a buy bust operation against illegally-traded stalactites and other banned wildlife species in Pagadian City last June 25, 2014. Seized from the suspect was 30 pieces of stalactites, 2 pieces carapace frame of Hawksbill turtles, 29 pieces Hawksbill scutes, 275 pieces of different endangered coral species to include the rare black and red corals, various shells such as the Triton, Nautilus and giant clam species. A suspect was arrested and will be charged with violations to RA 9147 or the Wildlife Protection and Conservation Act, RA 8550 otherwise known as the Philippine Fisheris Code of 1998 and RA 9072 known as the National Cave and Cave Resources Management and Protection Act.

No.: 09161714813 (GLOBE)

DENR credits social media, public vigilance for successful wildlife rescue operations The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is crediting social media and the public for helping authorities in the fight against illegal wildlife trading. DENR Secretary Ramon J. P. Paje said the series of wildlife rescue operations conducted recently by the joint operatives of the department, with support from various law enforcement agencies of the government, were based on photos and information forwarded or shared by netizens to the Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB). Paje cited the recent seizure of a large number of stalactites, corals and other wildlife species during a buybust operation organized by the DENR and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in the house of a certain Earl Frederick Galupo in Pagadian City last June 25. Recovered at the house

were 30 pieces of stalactites, 275 pieces of coral species that include precious and rare black and red corals, several giant clams, two carapace frames of hawksbill turtles, and 29 hawksbill scutes. The sale of said stalactites and corals were posted in a popular local online trading site and also posted in Galupo’s Facebook account, including the photos of the endangered hawkbill turtles. Prior to this, at least five animals were rescued from their captors in three separate occasions by operatives of the BMB. The rescued animals include two serpent eagles, a crested goshawk, a whitebellied sea eagle and a monitor lizard. The two serpent eagles were seized from a seller in Sta. Mesa, Manila, who had posted them on Facebook while the goshawk and sea eagle were tied to improvised

perches in a small street in Sta. Cruz, Manila when recovered by operatives following a tip from concerned citizens. The monitor lizard, on the other hand, was rescued by the BMB in Morong, Bataan following a tip from concerned citizens through Facebook. “Indeed, social media and public assistance play an increasing role in helping authority fight the illegal wildlife trade,” Paje said. He urged the public to continue using social media in reporting cases of wildlife trafficking as the BMB will verify all photos, location and other valuable information provided on social networking sites. At the same time, the DENR chief reminded people that trade and possession of wildlife species without the necessary permit from the BMB is illegal under Republic Act (RA) No. 9147, or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection

Act. He said animal lovers should refrain from buying, hunting or gathering wild animals from their natural habitat, even if their intention is to help care for and propagate the species. “These animals were designed by nature to exist in their own habitat in the wild. Caring for them on your own way, in fact, be counterproductive and instead contribute to the decline of their population,” he pointed out. The BMB only allows possession, trade and transport of wildlife with the issuance of permits such as a certificate of wildlife registration (CWR) or wildlife permit. Under RA 9147, the illegal trade or possession of wildlife, especially species considered endangered, are punishable by a jail term of up to two years and a fine of P200,000. (www. denr.gov.ph)

Nourishment Word on fire Bro. Edcel L. Closas Special Gospel of the day: Luke9:43-45(July12, 2014-Sturday) Luke 14:15-24- The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper: This gospel reminds us to dine with God in the spiritual banquet of the Holy Eucharistic Celebration. This is supposed to be done daily for the “nourishment” of our souls. Are you coming to the mass daily? Take note, this is for all walks of life.

Ihunong kombate sa Pilipinas Taud-taud na ang kombate kon guerra sa Pilipinas tali sa mga rebelde ug sa kagamhanan ug ubay-ubay na ang kinabuhi nga nakalas niini. Malisud na maihap pa kon pila ka sundalo sa kagamhanan ang namatay ug mao usab ang sa mga rebelde ug sibilyan. Ako nalisang niini tungod kay nag guerra man ang mga Pilipino batok Pilipino ug mura kon walay katapusan ang ilang panag kombate. Wala kaayo ako makasabut niini nga kagubot kon unsa ba gayud ang hinungdan. Halus kada adlaw adunay balita kabahin sa engkuentro ug kanunay duna gayud mamatay. Espoko mo ba kanang mga powerful man nga armas de puego ang ilang gamiton. Wala man tingali panag bikil kon dili panag sinabtanay nga dili ma areglo kon molingkod lamang sa usa ka lawak ang mga partidos aron masabut sabutan. Pananglit mag atubangay ang mga tinugyanan sa kagamhanan ug

Kon problema buroka sa yuta, sa panarabaho kon employment, ug unsa pa diha, kini mapangitaan sa solution aron maundang lamang ang pag agas dugo. Dilli man kini malisud nga sulbaron kon unta mag bugnaw lang kita sa atong dugo ug isip nga mao unya ang mohatud kanato sa kahusay ug kalinaw.

Isug lang kita sa habhab, sa binuang, sa katapulan, sa ka palainom ug sa panghilabut sa butang nga dili ato. Plunderer, matud pa. Sa unang panahon nga milihok ang mga Huk sa Luzon, na areglo ni kanhi Pres. Ramon Magsaysay ug na linaw ang atong nasud. Ang uban nga mga Huk iyang gipadala sa Mindanao diin gihatagan sa yuta nga ilang mabugwal. Hangtud karon anaa ang ilang mga pamilya ug milampus sa ilang kakugi ug sa paningkamut sa uma. Ato kini masulbad nga suliran kon magtinarong kita sa

pagpangita a paagui diin mahunong na ang walay hinungdan nga kombate. Ang kalisud niini kay madalahig ang mga sibilyan apil na mga bata ug tigulang, babaye ug lalaki. Maot kini nga hitabo ug unta mag areglo na kita niini. Gihangyo ko ang tanan nga mga Filipino nga unta atong usahon ang atong kusog aron sa pag paundang sa walay hinungdan nga pinatyanay sa Pilipinas pinaagui sa mga rebelde. Ato silang mga igsoon bisan unsaon pa ug atong gakson ang pagbalik sa katilingban. Sulbaron ang ilang suliran ug tabangan nato sila sa ilang suliran. Maghulat kita kon duna kitay kaaway nga mga langyaw ayha kita moulbo sa hustong kaisug.

DTI gimandoan nga striktong ipatuman ang Price Act G

imando - an n i Presidente Benigno S. Aquino III ang Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) nga striktong ipatuman ang Price Act. Nagpahimangno usab ang Presidente sa dakung

silot ug sa kasong kriminal nga atubangon sa korte niadtong mamatud-an nga nakasupak niini. “Akong nasabtan nga daghan na ang nademanda ug nadakpan kabahin niini. Hinoon, wala ako’y dala

nga datus kung pila na sila. Apan medyo daghan na ang nabadlongan ug gipatubag gumikan sa ilang sayop nga lihok,” matud sa Presidente. Sayo niana, ang President mipadayag sa iyang reklamo sa hataas nga presyo sa mga

nag-unang palaliton bisan pa man sa kadaghan sa suplay diha sa kamerkadohan, nga nagpakita lamang nga adunay mga tawo nga nagmanipula niini.” Lain nga gihisgutan sa Presidente mao ang pagsaka

sa presyo sa gatas ug tinapay gumikan kay ang gatas ug harina atong gipalit gikan sa laing nasud, matud niya. “Aduna na kita’y lakang nga gihimo aron makunhoran ang epekto niini sa atong katawhan,” ang Presidente

midugang pag-ingon. Samtang ang Department of Agriculture (DA) ug DTI usab ang nagpakatag na sa mga rolling store nga magdala sa mga palaliton nga apektado sa nagtaas nga presyo.(PIA)

UHC, labing dako’g naginansiya sa P6.8M food packaging pagsaka sa koleksiyon sa sin tax facilities

MANILA - Ang Universal Health Care (UHC) ang labing daku’g naginansiya sa pagsaka sa koleksiyon sa buhis, gikan sa pagpatuman sa gitawag nga Sin Tax Law kun buhis gikan sa sigarilyo ug ilimnong makahubog. Matud pa ni Secretary Enrique Ona sa Department of Health (DOH), lakip sa UHC ang PhilHealth, Department of Health (DOH) ug lokal nga mga kagamhanan nga nakadawat sa kantidad nga duolan traynta e nuybe bilyones pesos (P38.8B) kun sitenta e singko porsento (75%) sa kita sa misakang buhis sa Sin Taxes, ning tuig. Samtang ang Department of Agriculture (DA), National Tobacco Adminis-

tration (NTA), ug mga local government units (LGU) nga nagtanum sa tabako ang makadawat duolan sa trese bilyones pesos (P12.6B), ning tuig, sumala sa mga probisyon sa Sin Tax Law. Si Ona miingon nga ang budget sa 2014 mikonsiderar lamang sa gidahum o sa gipaabot nga koleksiyon sa Sin Tax subay sa milabay nga tuig nga nikabat duolan traynta e kwatro bilyones pesos (P33.96B). Mao kini ang rason nganong kapin lamang sa baynte-siyete bilyones pesos (P27.3B) ang gahin sa UHC diha sa General Appropriations Act of 2014, matud ni Secretary Ona. Niini nga kantidad, duolan baynte dos bilyones pesos (P21.8B) ang moadt

sa PhilHealth ug sa ubang programa sa maayong panglawas sa DOH, samtang duola unom kabilyon ka pesos (P5.5B) ang moadto sa medical assistance sa mga hospital sa gobyerno ug sa padayon nga pagpalambo sa ilang mga pasilidad. Ang nahibilin nga duolan dose bilyones pesos (11.5B) ilakip sa gahin sa PhilHealth ug DOH sa 2015, si Ona miingon. Duolan kwarenta e tres bilyones pesos (P42.86B) ang gipaabot nga makolekta gikan sa Sin Tax, karong tuig 2014. Subay sa nasinati sa milabay nga tuig, ang aktwal nga koleksiyon sa Sin Tax sa 2014, mahimong molabaw pa sa kantidad nga gipaabot o gidahum sa gobyerno, si Ona midugang pag-ingon. (PIA)

Kapulisan sa Ozamiz nakadawat P6.14M nga kantidad sa‘admin support’ gikan sa siyudad Sinulat ni RutchieCabahug- Aguhob sa PIA10-Misamis Occidental

MANILA - Senator Loren Legarda reiterated the need to complete the distribution of the geohazard maps all over the country to reduce, if not eliminate casualties and damages every time natural hazard strikes. Legarda renewed her appeal to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) after the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) reported to the Senate committee on environment and natural resources that the geohazard maps have already been posted in the

The two-day forum, themed “Partnerships in Air Quality Management,” brought together some 200 clean air advocates from the private sector, academe, civil society and public health interest groups to discuss how to further advance the country’s air quality management through development and implementation of clean air plans and wider stakeholder engagement. Teh said the forum also sought to identify policy gaps in the implementation of Republic Act No. 8749, or the Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999, which outlines the government’s measures to reduce air pollution and incorporate environmental protection into its development plans. “I believe that the real value of our partnership lies in our ability to assess the real level of implementation of the Act,” Teh said, adding that the government welcomes constructive assessment and suggestions that would help improve its enforcement efforts. She told forum participants that such assessment and suggestions may be converted into concrete policies and measures that would reduce air pollution and improve air quality. For his part, Partnership for Clean Air Inc. president Renato Pineda Jr. lauded the government for its procurement of monitoring equipment to measure air pollutants from vehicles and factories and for providing the public real-time data that can be accessed through the DENR website. “We cannot manage what we cannot measure. There’s now real-time monitoring data (as guidance and information for public),” he said. However, Pineda said the purchase of state-ofthe-art monitoring equipment was only the first step to reducing pollution levels as he echoed Teh’s statement that addressing air pollution woes is not the exclusive responsibility of the government, but of everyone. Also during the forum, the DENR’s Environmental Management Bureau (EMB)

websites. ”It’s not enough. You have to distribute the maps, not in the website because many barangays (villages) don’t have internet,” Legarda told the DENR officials. The DENR officials led by Biodiversity Management Bureau director Mundita Lim attended the public hearing on the Senate Bill 1901 declaring as protected areas and buffer zones the parcels of land designated as the National Integrated Protected Areas System under Republic Act 7586. ”Thirteen are already declared as individual republic acts. However, 100 of them

reported that the nationwide level of total suspended particulates (TSPs) significantly dropped to 88 micrograms per normal cubic meters (ug/Ncm) in 2013 from a whopping 145 ug/Ncm in 2004. TSPs refer to the amount of solid pollutants such as dust and soot in the air. The national annual guideline value or acceptable amount of TSP in the air is 90 ug/ Ncm. The EMB said the TSP level in Metro Manila for 2013 is 118 ug/Ncm, thus requiring further air pollution-reducing action. The agency currently maintains and operates a total of 32 monitoring stations for TSP across the country, and is planning to install 35 more in key cities or highly urbanized centers by 2015. Based on the EMB’s 2012 Emission Inventory Report, 85 percent of air pollution in Metro Manila come from mobile sources or vehicles, 14 percent from stationary sources like factories and power plants, and one percent from area sources such as construction sites and open burning of debris. On a national scale, the report showed that mobile sources accounted for 71 percent; stationary sources, 19 percent; and area sources, 9 percent.(DENR)

said Wednesday during a briefing in Metro Manila. Data he presented during the briefing show that two or three TCs are expected to occur in July, three or four TCs in August, another three or four TCs in September, two or three TCs in October, two or three more TCs in November and one or two TCs in December. This month, TC ‘Florita’ (international name ‘Neoguri’) entered PAR but veered northwards towards Japan, sparing the Philippines. PAGASA noted climate model output suggests TCs that’ll develop or enter PAR in July may tend to move more along the Philippines’ coast. Lucero noted that TCs are among the weather systems that might affect the Philippines from July to

December 2014. L ow-pressure are as (LPAs), the southwest monsoon or ‘habagat,’ intertropical convergence zone, occasional thunderstorms, tail end of a cold front and the northeast monsoon are other weather systems that can affect the country as well during the same period, he noted. PAGASA expects downpour-causing LPAs or TCs to enhance rainfall during the July-August-September period. Pe opl e must g u ard against flooding, particularly during such period, warned PAGASA. “Occurrence of flooding is highly possible in lowlying areas,” it said. According to PAGASA, near- to above-normal rainfall can be expected in most parts of the Philippines this month. The country will likely experience generally normal rainfall in August and September, the agency continued. PAGASA projects generally below-normal rainfall in most parts of the country by October and November, however. Even drier conditions with generally below- to way below-normal rainfall are expected in December, PAGASA added. The October-NovemberDecember season is when climate experts expect the chance for El Nino’s development to reach around 80 percent. Majority of climate models indicate a lower 65 percent chance for El Nino to develop during the JulyAugust-September period, noted PAGASA. Citing latest available climate models, Lucero said most of these “favor El Nino to develop in the next several months.” “There’s no El Nino yet, however,” he reiterated. Last month, PAGASA declared the onset of the 2014 Philippine rainy season. Generally near- to abovenormal rainfall occurred in June over northern and western portions of Luzon as well as most parts of Central and Eastern Visayas, including Central Mindanao, PAGASA reported during the briefing.

”So that’s why it would not be an easy task to declare the 100 areas in the country such as coastal, forests as protected areas,” she added. Legarda said she intends to conduct at least five more public hearings until all the 16 regions will be covered by the proposed bill before the state of the nation address or SONA of President Benigno Aquino III. ”I’ll finish all my committee hearings and after SONA, I will sponsor the measure. Hopefully, before September break, I will pass it in the Senate. Hopefully, the house will also do so,” Legarda said.

Legarda stressed that it is important that the heavy casualties and damages brought by the super typhoon Yolanda and other storms like Sendong, Pablo and Undoy will not happen again in the future. ”July is DRR (disaster risk reduction) consciousness month and I urge the MGB to distribute all the geohazard maps in all 1,600 cities and municipalites all over the country,” she said. The lady lawmaker also urged the DENR to make sure that the geohazard maps will be explained to every local government units (LGU) leader to save more lives. (PNA)

The rest of the country experienced that month way below- to below-normal rainfall, added PAGASA. (PNA)

Cagayan de Oro Cities signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Climate Change Commission (CCC) to undertake the Project “Enabling the Cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan to Cope with Climate Change or Climate Twin Phoenix” on December 11, 2012. With UNDP and AusAID fund support, the project aimed to fine tune the assessment of the vulnerabilities of the two Tropical Storm Sendong hard-hit cities as well as the municipalities around the Cagayan de Oro and Mandulog river basins along hydro-meteorologicinduced hazards due to climate change. Other recipients of the project outputs were Director Ana C. Cañeda of OCD-X, OIC-Director Charito A. Raagas of HLURB-X, Iligan City Councilor Frederick W. Siao and Iligan City Planning and Development Coordinator, Architect Gil R Balondo. (Peleta B. Abejo & Candido B. Balaba/NEDA-X/PIA-10)

He said that the city government has initially entered a Memorandum of Agreement with the first five big establishments in the city to implement the Eco Bag Ordinance prior to retail stores and malls and in the public markets here. “The City Treasurer’s office should conduct a vigorous information drive about the Eco Bag Ordinance so that store owners – big and small – in the city would know that the city government has been discouraging the use of plastics as wrappers here,” Elipe said. He said that the store owners and stakeholders should also be aware of the provisions of the Eco bag ordinance and be counted in the successful campaign against the use of plastics as a way of protecting the environment.

It also included the Climate and Disaster Exposure Database (ClimEx.db) – a computerized system containing geo-referenced information on population, buildings, infrastructure, and economic activities exposed in flooding to help communities and local governments in development/land use planning while incorporating measures to adapt to the effects of climate change in their respective localities. ClimEx. db ensures that communities get the right information at the right time to take the right action. It can be recalled that the RDC-X and the local governments of Iligan and

BMB Director Theresa Mundita Lim said the agency was looking forward to implementing the project, which recognizes the value of blue capital and its potential for growth. “The project will help us convince stakeholders that the environment is a good investment as it benefits the communities,” Lim said. “The science will be useful in helping us make informed decisions about other projects we need to identify and implement, and in answering queries about budgetary allocations.” She added: “The information generated from this project will be translated into new policies or update existing ones so that we can replicate this in other coastal communities.” Aside from the Philippines, the CCRES project will also

As the implementing agency, the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) through the World Bank has committed US$4.5 million. An advisory board, comprising of representatives from the WB, co-financing partner, WB regional projects and a government representative per country, serves as an executive committee for the CCRES project which will be responsible for decisions relating to annual work programs and the allocation of financial resources for the various components of the project. For the Philippines, the government representative to the advisory board is DENR Undersecretary Analiza Teh. A project executing agency, on the other hand, has been established in the Global Change Institute at the University of Queensland which will coordinate the management of the project. Specifically, the CCRES project will be research-based, studying the equivalent market value of services provided by healthy or thriving seagrass beds, mangrove forests and coral reefs such as food security, ecotourism, coastal protection, blue carbon sequestration,and timber production, flood control, disease regulation and recreational facilities. Coastal communities can then develop new eco-friendly and sustainable enterprises to increase revenue and improve their resilience to climate change impacts. The El Nido, a first class municipality and a protected area, will serve as the pilot site for the project in the Philippines. The implementation of the CCRES in El Nido has already gained the approval of the El Nido-Taytay Managed Resources Protected Area Management Board (PAMB). The protected area, which covers over 54,000 hectares of marine waters and 36,000 hectares of land, has been a favorite eco-tourism destination for its natural features like limestone cliffs, mangroves and clear waters, all providing habitat to many endemic flora and fauna. The tourist boom, population growth, and inflation are, however, also becoming areas of concern for the environment. The CCRES project is seen to assist the local government and the PAMB determine the “carrying capacity” of the area for economic and social activity. (DENR)
