Governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano said on Thurs-

day that the watch tower would be located in the white island of Agutayan, an atoll in the coastal seas of Misamis Oriental. He said that the management of STEAG State Power Inc., a coal-fired power plant, has agreed to partner in the construction of the watchtower to buttress

MANILA - Senator Loren Legarda pushed for the swift passage of the bill prohibiting the catching of sharks in Philippine waters, stressing the absence of such law could lead to the extinction of shark species. “Sharks, as predators of the sea, play a vital role in regulating the ecological balance, particularly the health of important commercial fish species, popula-

tion balance, and protection of coral reefs. As such, our country plays a crucial role in protecting marine species,” said Legarda. Legarda noted that last month, police authorities in Cebu seized a truck loaded with shark meat headed for a fish ball processor in Lapu-Lapu City. News reports indicated that the truck contained

the provincial government’s coastal law enforcement in the waters of Jasaan and the Macajalar Bay. “The Agutayan Island is a marine protected area that houses around 200 giant clams, varieties of sea urchins, sea cucumber and all-reef species and is listed See tower, page 11

Cagayan de Oro City --- Thousands of children in Northern Mindanao are now medically considered as healthy after 120 days of supplementary feeding by the Department of Social Welfare and Development. DSWD’s NutritionistDietitian Rechel Grace C. Ceniza disclosed that out of 123,991 children, only 4,345 are left malnourished after being subjected to supplementary feeding for 120 days. Ceniza said Day Care Centers throughout the region followed a 20-day cycle menu, serving variety of viands and rice in a day. She said the menu is standard supplement to the three meals for a child under the modified nutritional

recipes for the implementation of supplementary feeding. Bukidnon province tops the number of malnourished children during the 2013-2014 cycle of feeding with 39,145. But, it declines after the 120-day period of feeding with 3,432 left malnourished or 8.8 percent. Camiguin has the least number of malnourished children in the entire region with 2,510 at the start of the program. Of the number, only 121 children are left malnourished. Ceniza explained that malnourished children are those found either severely underweight or underweight. “The 120 days feeding program has improved the

Meanwhile, Atty. Araceli F. Solamillo, Regional Director of DSWD Northern Mindanao; is optimistic that several children in the region will become healthy this 2014-2015 4th feeding cycle, which will start this July 2014. DSWD has targeted 115,430 children, currently enrolled at day care centers.

nutritional status of 11,736 malnourished beneficiaries due to strengthened monitoring and coordination

among DSWD, parents, and local government units,” the nutritionist-dietitian added. Parents have been in-

volved in feeding preparations and sessions while Day Care Workers supervised the program.

Gingoog stays as PhilHealth strategic partner GINGOOG City - While other local government units (LGU’s) have stopped subsidizing, the city government of Gingoog remains as a big strategic partner of Philhealth by allocating funds intended for the premium contribution of city’s indigents to National Health Insurance of the Philippines (NHIP). In constant coordination with the City Health Office led by Dr. Grace Jadol, mayor Marie Guingona has implemented the Philhealth’s mandate in achieving Universal Health Care otherwise known as “Kalusugang Pangkalahatan” by embarking on the enrollment of 3,000 beneficiaries for calendar year 2014. Further, Guingona’s administration has been collaborating with the national government through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Corazon “Dinky” Soliman by enrolling 17,267 households to Philhealth under the National Household Targeting System (NHTS) which subsidizes for their insurance premiums. According to Dr. Jadol, her office is fortunate enough that the leadership of a Red Cross chair-turned-mayor showed a very optimistic view and humanitarian concern for the indigents by prioritizing for their health care needs and insurance as well. The medical doctor further said that the chief executive is constantly working hand in hand with health personnel and Sanggunian Panlungsod (SP) chairperson on health committee Avelino Bernaldez, Sr. by setting budget for the health needs among residents of 79 barangays. The lady mayor has been reminding concerned punong barangays during social services of 4K (Kaabag aron Kaserbisyohan ang Katawhan sa Kabaranggayan) to track down indigent families that need to be endorsed and included as additional beneficiaries for Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). Guingona reiterate that a healthy city represents a cooperative society. (Edmar Pabia/CIO)

Luke 9:43-45- Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying: This gospel tells us about the passion of Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of the prophecy in the Holy Scripture. In Isaiah 53:6-10-All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was “oppressed,” and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither [was any] deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

Who said our country is poor? It was reported that Pres. Noy Aquino bribed some senators with billions of pesos to oust then Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona. This public funds come as Disbursing Acceleration Program (DAP) and Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAP), both have some relations to pork barrels. And the amount involved here are billions of pesos. Repeat billions of pesos which only mean our country is not that poor as described by some people. Ours is a wealthy nation but has been impoverished by corruption and thieves in the government service. In the Philippines nowadays, people do not speak about hundred bucks or thousands but by millions. When they discuss projects in the government, it would be by billions of pesos. Gone are those days when you have a hundred pesos in your pocket, you are safe to go around Metro Manila . Today you take a taxi from Baclaran to the Rizal park and you pay the driver about a thousand pesos. And the minimum

The Striker

Ben Emata Jr. pay of a worker now is 466 pesos a day not P120.00 a month for public school teachers many years ago. Despite all these tremendous sky-rocketing of the cost of living, you will be surprised how come the people exist with ease, have food in the home, indulge with extra-curricular activities and raising more and more children every year. You look at them as comfortable in their lives and their children attend higher education. They earned colleges degrees and a lot others even go up to getting masters or doctorate degrees. In short, they can well afford even if the cost of college education is quite high and beyond the reach of average families. And because the country is filled with so many college graduates who can not

find job, many go to foreign lands where some land as domestic helpers.. But most Filipinos do not choose the kind of job available as long as they get employment to pay the borrowed money spent for travel. So it is not unusual to see Filipinos in foreign countries working as clerks, drivers, house helpers, security guards and even errand people in big corporations. A lot of them are professionals like doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers, etc. but later improve themselves. In Saudi Arabia where there are many Filipino immigrants, I learned they fight with each other because of rivalries. And these people as well as those in European cities, Canada, America and elsewhere contribute to the total income of the country. One

time I described the country as exporter of human beings for work since there is utterly a problem of employment in the country. So the country has a lot of income aside from our natural resources, on import and export business, from mining, fisheries, logging, and businesses of foreigners operating within. And the real reason why corruption proliferates in our government is we have a lot of money to be stolen. Our country is rich. We have green forests that give us incomes, rivers that also earns money, the sea where variety of fishes come handy also contribute a lot of money to our public funds, businesses, assistance from abroad and many other sources of income make our country not just talking about millions of pesos but billions. And here the corrupt and the thieves come in, all in smiles, and rob us of our funds by millions. And not only these people but also their friends and relatives participate in the build up of thieves in the government. (benemata@yahoo.com)

At the age of 65, Harlan’s first retirement check came from the government. It

Maramag passes ordinance banning the selling of non-fortified food, beverages in school premises By Elgie I. Aninayon - Project Development Assistant, MPDO, LGU-Maramag

Maramag, Bukidnon – Proposed by Sangguniang Bayan Member Hon. Krisynthia Raquel Cabinta-Pader, Ordinance No. 2014-71 that prohibits the sale of nonfortified food products and beverages in school premises, was approved for implementation starting this year 2014. Pader, who is one of the members of the Municipal Nutrition Committee (MNC), said in an interview that this act was made as one way of addressing existing cases of malnourished children in elementary schools in the municipality. “As agreed during the February 26, 2013 MNC meeting, I as the Chairperson of the Committee on Health and Sanitation,

was tasked to formulate an ordinance that would at least lessen the problems on malnutrition among elementary pupils in Maramag,” Pader averred. The problem on malnutrition was supported by the statement of Dr. Elizabeth B. Postrano, Elementary School Principal II of Maramag Central Elementary School that in CY 2013 there were existing cases of malnourished children in elementary schools under District I. Based on the report, 232 were malnourished and 63 were severely malnourished. These cases justify the need for an immediate implementation of this act to address this pressing situation.

DENR earlier noted its CCO for lead and lead compounds “set the standard content of lead for locally produced paints at 90 parts per million as well as the time frame for strict implementation of the standard which starts in 2016 for paints intended for architectural, decorative, household applications while paints for industrial applications starts in 2019.” Aside from paint, the CCO prohibits use of lead and lead products in production of packaging for food and drinks, fuel additives, water pipes, toys, school supplies and cosmetics. Experts said lead is a bluegray metal known for its softness, malleability, resistance to corrosion and ability to conduct electricity and heat. “Such element was known to be mined some 6,000 years ago and was used by Romans for plumbing and as sweetener but today, we know it to be a highly toxic chemical with a broad range of industrial uses owing to its cheapness and versatility,” said environment watchdog EcoWasteCoalition, citing experts’ findings. EcoWaste noted the most pervasive use of lead is in paint. Aside from paint, experts said lead and lead compounds have been used in various products like ceramics, pipes and other plumbing materials, solders, gasoline, batteries, ammunition and cosmetics. US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warned lead isparticularly dangerous to children since their growing bodies absorb more of this element than adults do, however. Children’s brains and nervous systems are more sensitive to lead’s damaging effects, EPA continued. On June 24, EU as well as EMB and its mother agency DENR led the campaign promoting schools that are safe from lead and mercury, two naturally occurring but toxic elements. EU Amb ass ador Guy Ledoux highlighted urgency for the campaign, saying latest available research findings confirm the danger of lead exposure in the Philippines is real. He noted a study EU funded in 2013 showed “worryingly high” lead concentration in over 60 percent of paint samples collected nationwide. Citing findings of EU’s contractor, a certified Italy-

based laboratory, he said the study also showed average concentration of lead in the samples reached levels up to 200 times the maximum threshold authorized in other countries. “Such paints are widely available to the public and affect us particularly the most vulnerable who are children, pregnant women and workers,” he warned. Authorities lauded the country’s paint manufacturers for supporting the campaign. “They’re cooperating on our bid for lead-free paint,” Cuna said. He noted the paint manufacturers are abreast about government’s bid to phase out lead use as they were part of the technical working group that developed the CCO. Such CCO is the subject of Department Administrative Order (DAO) 2013-24 which DENR issued last year. The CCO covers importers, distributors, manufacturers, industrial users, recyclers, waste service providers like transporters, treaters and disposers. “If industries cooperate on producing non-toxic items, I’m confident the deadline for shifting to lead-free production can be met,” said Cuna. DENR said its CCO for lead and lead compounds is in line with Republic Act No. 6969 (Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Act of 1990), DAO 29 series of 1992 (Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 6969) and DAO 05 series of 2005 (Toxic Chemical Substances for lssuance of CCOs).

in the province’s tourist destination for divers and thrill seekers,” Emano said. He said that his administration value the protection and conservation of marine wildlife as one of the thrusts of the province in the promotion of the tourism industry here.The watch tower would be equipped with safety devices such as radar monitoring, life jackets, search lights, and handheld radios, Emano added. The Agutayan coral reef is visible during ebb tide as a coral island of white sand. It is one of the eight priority tourism sites in Misamis Oriental, 5 kilometers offshore of the municipal town of Jasaan. The other tourism sites are the Aya-Aya falls in Lugait; Sagpulon falls in Jasaan; a Sailfin lizard sanctuary in Jasaan; Alibuag Cold Spring in Medina; Cebu Pacific Flight 387 shrines in Gingoog City; Tugasnon hot spring in Alubijid; and Civoleg Falls in Gingoog City.

in the country. “Sharks are in danger of becoming extinct if we do not proactively protect them, considering that they reproduce slowly. The decline of their population could also endanger the entire marine ecosystem,” Legarda said. Legarda has filed Senate Bill No. 536, which declares as illegal the catching, sale, purchase, possession, transportation, importation and exportation of all shark and ray species in the country.

with the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), the Regional Planning Development Office, Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), and the Office of Civil Defense (OCD). Structural interventions are composed of infrastructure and other flood-control projects, while non-structural interventions include reforestation, mangrove rehabilitation, and sustainable watershed management. “Both of these structural and non-structural interventions are aimed to address the issue of flooding beyond a piece-meal method and are part of the strategic programs prioritized in the MRB Master Plan which adopts the ridgeto-reef approach,” said MinDA Chair Luwalhati Antonino. The ridge-to-reef is a development approach that requires the protection, utilization, and rehabilitation of the environment from the mountains to the seas. Mindanao’s roadmap for peace and development or Mindanao 2020 calls for the full implementation of this strategy. Initiated by MinDA, the MRB Master Plan is a result of several years of study that delved into the root causes of the constant flooding in the river basin, and at the same time outlined recommendations on interventions to address the problem in an integrated and holistic approach that cuts across regional and provincial borders. Completed in 2013, the MRB Master Plan was subsequently endorsed by the Regional Development Councils of Regions X and XII, as well as the Regional Economic Development and Planning Board of the ARMM by the first quarter of this year. The same plan was also adopted by the Cabinet Cluster on the Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation during its meeting in Quezon City last month. To date, there are seven structural projects that are on going and designed to relieve the flooding problem in the area. These include the P39.89 million River Bank Protection Project along the CotabatoGenSan Road in Tamontaka, Cotabato City which is expected to be completed in June 2014; the P174.19 million Simuay Flood Control Project in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao which is expected to be completed by the end of 2014; the P46 million Allah River Flood Control Project in Lam-

bayong, Sultan Kudarat which is expected to be completed in July 2014; a P50 million and P74.5 million Libungan Flood Control Projects Phase III both in Libungan, Cotabato which are expected to be completed in August and October of 2014, respectively; a P72.5 million Carmen River Bank Protection with Revetment Flood Control Project in Lumayong, Carmen, Cotabato to be completed in November 2014; and a P15.2 million University of Southern Mindanao Flood Control Project Phase I in Kabacan, Cotabato which is already substantially completed. Aside from these existing structural projects, MinDA has been proactively advocating for the fast tracking of the implementation of six priority flood control projects in the MRB with a budget of P6.9 billion from DPWH. The six identified priority projects are: Channel modification of the Ambal-Simuay River; Dredging of the Rio Grande de Mindanao; Dredging and dike construction along the Tunggol River including the expansion of the Tunggol bridge; Construction of revetment dikes along the Ala River; Construction of revetments along the Buluan River; and the Construction of revetments along the Tamontaka River. The DPWH central office has already prioritized these projects and the detailed engineering is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Along with the River Basin Control Office (RBCO) and the Office of Civil Defense (OCD), MinDA has been mandated by Executive Order No. 50 to not only complete the MRB Master Plan and to facilitate development interventions, but also to create the MRB Management council to serve as lead organization that will oversee the protection and management of waters and natural resources within the MRB. In line with efforts to climate change-proof the MRB Master Plan, the MRB-TWG recently completed its second module of the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management and Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation (DRRMCCAM) training, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to include DRRM and CCAM initiatives in the master plan. “This is part of our integrated effort to also prepare our partner agencies including the LGU alliances within the MRB to implement their respective preparedness, prevention and mitigation measures,” said Antonino. As part of non-structural efforts to address flooding in Mindanao, MinDA, the DENR and the DILG are collaborating in massive reforestation efforts in areas in and around critical rivers, mountain ranges, watershed and identified flooded areas in Mindanao. Under the Mindanao Barangay StraTREEgic Forest Project (BSFP), an initial 200 barangays throughout the island-region will be actively engaged in reforestation efforts in support of the National Greening Program. The BSFP, a sub-project of MinDA’s MindaNOW! Nurturing Our Waters Program will help mobilize stakeholders,

resources and partnerships in reforestation efforts not only as a mitigating measure against further flooding, but is also envisioned to restore the forest cover of the island-region. From the initial 200 barangays, the BSFP is planned to expand to an eventual total of 1,700 barangays all over Mindanao. Also present during the meeting are Cotabato City Mayor Japal Guiani Jr., ARMM Executive Secretary Atty. Laisa Alamia, and Ching Ayupan, representative of the office of Cardinal Orlando Quevedo.

serious implications in our nation and we should commit ourselves to do our part,” expounded Rama. She recounted that at their own level, as non-profit organization grounded in a mission principle of creating opportunities for all people to live in decent, durable shelter by helping build and renovate homes, Butuan Habitat has also stir its initiatives to inculcate in the minds of Habitat communities the idea of greening activities, conservation, and waste management, among others. According to Rama, “the group is instructing for proper waste management as a basic approach of telling Habitat communities to develop an attitude of concern about climate change mitigation and adaptation.” As Butuan Habitat for Humanity advocates for affordable housing and supports for sustainable and transformational development, its employees including the Nehemiah team, a group of American volunteers who helped build Habitat houses in Caraga region had direct involvement in tree planting activities in Mount Mayapay for years now. Meanwhile, Engr. Heddy Sumalpong, vice president of Butuan Habitat for Humanity also reminded to adhere on the national building permit code that 20 percent of the area should be open space and be plotted with plants. “It’s advisable not to fully concretize the grounds to have enough area for planting and cultivation. Let’s carry out our own contributions to help build resiliency,” she said. Sumalpong said that they are in support to the laudable program of the Butuan City local government dubbed “Plant and Grow a Million Trees.” Dr iven by spir it of volunteerism in working with the Butuan Habitat for Humanity, Rama underscored that people are the best resources to mobilize climate change advocacy campaign. “For even the richest people are not considered billionaires if they do nothing but the richest are the people who volunteered and synergized for mitigation and adaptation of climate change,” said Rama.

and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) and take note of areas declared as highly susceptible for flooding and landslide, especially now that the rainy season has begun. “Let us not react after the disaster has come and gone. Let us act now and prevent the possible destruction it can cause on lives and property,” Paje said. The environment chief said the LGUs can use the maps as guide for strategic decisions such as those on land zoning and in determining sites for relocation and communities during natural disasters. The MGB has already completed and distributed some 85,000 copies of geohazard maps showing landslide and flood-prone areas on a scale of 1:50,000 to LGUs nationwide. A more detailed mapping of cities and municipalities, at a scale of 1:10,000, is to be completed within the year, while the three-dimensional (3D) version is also already in the pipeline. Meanwhile, Paje called on the public to make a “more conscious and collective effort” to adopt a lifestyle that would reverse environmental degradation and mitigate the negative impacts of disasters. “Efforts can be small and personal, such as minding where you throw your trash, patronizing eco-friendly goods and services, and not wasting water and energy. They can also be on a larger scale like organizing community cleanups or participating in tree planting activities under the National Greening Program,” Paje said. “What counts the most is that efforts are sustained or done regularly, and not ningas-kugon.” The DENR head pointed out that most of the damage caused by disasters “result from human activities that show blatant disregard for the environment.” While natural phenomenon is uncontrollable, Paje warned that “our thinning forests, the unsustainable conversion and use of land, and pollution that clogs our waterways and kills our rivers and seas indeed aggravate the impacts of disasters on lives and property, especially when they lead to erosion and flooding.” “What is worse is that climate change makes extreme weather events as the new normal, so we can expect the hazards and risks to increase, too,” he added. The National Disaster Consciousness Month has been celebrated every year since 1999 by virtue of Executive Order No. 137. This year’s theme, “Ligtas na Bayan, Maunlad na Pamayanan,” focuses on safeguarding communities from adverse effects of natural disasters to promote sustainable development.
