VM Acenas calls for energy saving measures in Oro Cagayan de Oro City - Vice Mayor Caesar Ian E. Acenas is calling on Kagay-anons to take energy conservation measures, especially during peak hours, which is from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. This, in the wake of the Generation Deficiency advice from the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP). In a letter to the vice mayor, Misamis Oriental Rural Electric Service Cooperative (Moresco-1) General Manager Julie B.

Vice Mayor Acenas

Real, said that Mindanao is currently experiencing substantial generation deficiency since February 27, 2014, which at present reached as high as 220 MW. This has reportedly caused rotational blackouts in its franchise area and the whole

of Mindanao. “We are closely monitoring our metering points so that we will not be manually dropped by NGCP but rather we prefer to manage our load so we can proportionately distribute the area affected with no power,” the

letter reads in part. According to the Moresco official, the company has not received any advice from NGCP as to how long the situation will last. With this, Vice Mayor Acenas is urging consumers to save on electricity and

turn off unnecessary lights and appliances until the load curtailment is lifted. He said the support of everyone is needed to avoid a bigger power outage, which will hold back the development of the city and entire island of Mindanao.

And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third [day] I shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk to day, and tomorrow, and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perishes out of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killed the prophets, and stoned them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, ye shall not see me, until [the time] come when ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord: This was the agony of Jesus due to the absolute rejection from his own people. In John 1:11-he came unto his own, and his own received him not. In Mark 6:4-But Jesus said unto them, a prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. Did you experience persecutions and rejections? This was done to Jesus and it was very “painful” but still He forgave them. In Luke 23:34-then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

As one could learn a couple of days ago: the Philippines hosted the recent 5th World Ecotourism Conference in Cebu City, which brought together officials and other policymakers in island coastal regions to network effectively and to find common solutions for the development of coastal regions and contribute to the sustainability of these areas. Sure, and it’s easy to write it down: with the theme “Marine and Coastal Ecotourism: Oceans of Uncertainties, Waves of Opportunities”, the Conference discussed the impacts of ecotourism activities linked to the seas such as whale and shark watching, snorkeling, scuba diving, and recreational fishing. The conference also tackled the socio-economic aspects of the industry such as development of destinations,

FISHKILL Have my say Klaus Doring management of marine ecotourism spots, marketing, and the elemination of poverty through sustainability. Kudos to all conference members for their efforts. I have been and I will remain an intolerable, merciless, and unrestrained environmentalist. Sad fact is: ecodooms and the pollution of our environment go on without limits. Such daily news infuriate and distress me. I expierenced several years ago, when large “Imelda” fishes went belly up in the Pasig River, while the surface of Bicol’s Lake

Buhi was nearly covered with dead “Tilapia”. Many times, I enjoyed staying near Lake Sebu in South Cotabato with innumerbale “Tilapia-sessions”. Last time, fishkill really messed up my stay there. Fishkill has been occuring with increasing freuquency all over the Philippines in recent years, and not just during the typhoon season. The phenomenon, which can leave tons of fish decimated, has become a regular reminder of the need to clean up the Philippines’ waters. Fishkill has been occuring more often as toxic

waste is dumped into the waters around and inside the archipelago. Pollution is also killing spwaning grounds of marine life, resulting in a steadily dwindling fish catch. I feel horrible reading such news from Australia, where scientists have already warned that the attraction is in serious jeopardy, as global warming and chemical run off threaten to kill marine species and cause disease outbreaks. Conferences, such the one in Cebu are important. Following actions and education are not lesser important. How many times did I say this already? And not only me? I fogot counting on this ... . +++ Email: doringklaus@ gmail.com or follow the author in Facebook or Twitter or visit www.germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot. com.

Temper Your Temper Think a minute… There’s a story about a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he got angry and lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence. The first day, the boy hammered 37 nails into the fence! But over the next few weeks, as the boy was learning to control his temper, the number of nails he hammered each day gradually became fewer. Soon the boy discovered that it was easier to hold his temper than hammer nails into the fence. Finally the day came, when the boy did not lose his temper one time. He went to his father and proudly told him that he’d finally learned

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst to control his anger. His father was very pleased. Then he told his son to go back to the fence and start pulling out one nail each day that he continued controlling his temper. Many days later the boy was so proud of himself the day he announced to his father that he had finally been able to pull out all the nails in the fence. His dad said: “Son, you’ve done so well in learning to

control your anger. I’m very proud of you. But now look at all the holes in the fence from your nails. This fence will never be the same! It’s like that when you get angry and say hurtful things to people. Your angry words leave scars just like the holes from these nails. Afterwards it doesn’t matter how many times you say ‘I’m sorry,’ that wound and scar you made in people’s hearts is still there.”

Sometimes the hurts and wounds we make with our angry words are the worst kind. Yes, we should always apologize and tell others we’re sorry when we hurt them. But our families and friends would be much happier if we simply learned to control our anger in the first place. Think how much more peaceful and happy our life would be. So if you have trouble controlling your anger, you can give your heart to Jesus Christ today. It’s with His help and power you can start changing. You might start with small steps and control your temper one hour at a time. But the most important step is the first one. So why not take it now? Just Think a Minute…

DSWD validates former Pantawid grantees for possible reinstatement in N. Mindanao By Oliver Badel Inodeo, Pantawid Pamilya Information Officer

Cagayan de Oro City --The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will validate starting March 21 the 44,129 potential grantees of the extended age coverage of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (Pantawid Pamilya) in Northern Mindanao. The potential grantees are former beneficiaries of Pantawid Pamilya coming from the five provinces of the region who became ineligible of the program after reaching the age of 15 or above. The extended age coverage program of DSWD for former grantees of Pantawid Pamilya aims to go beyond the five-year limit to cover up to high school education; to extend the age coverage up to eighteen (18) years of age, taking into account the K-12 program of the Department of Education; to provide a higher grant amount of P500 per child in high school; to remove the health grant for households who have been in the program for more than 60 months or 5 years; and to maintain the limit of three child beneficiaries per household. Currently, Pantawid Pamilya provides education grants covering children age 3-14 at

the start of the school year. The validation is part of the implementing rules and regulations set and approved by the National Advisory Committee, the highest policymaking inter-agency body of Pantawid Pamilya, for the extended age coverage program. In its resolution number 12, series of 2013, NAC recognizes the need to extend support to the child beneficiaries to further pursue the rights of children and enable the program to contribute to the end of the inter-generational cycle of poverty. ”Pantawid Pamilya promotes human capital accumulation by incentivizing the children’s capacity to stay in school. The accumulation of human capital is necessary to break the transmission of inter-generational poverty and to make growth more inclusive,” the resolution said, adding that “Pantawid Pamilya incentivizes school enrollment and consistent attendance by supplementing the household income to cover for the direct and indirect costs of schooling.” Pantawid Pamilya has been demonstrated to be effective in promoting enrollment in children in this age range

and keeping them in school. However, analysis also demonstrates that the program is not able to increase enrollment among children older than this age range. “The combination of a sizable (roughly 4-10 percentage point) increase in enrollment at ages 3-14 that disappears at ages above the current Pantawid Pamilya cut-off of age 14 has been demonstrated via both the 1st Wave Impact Evaluation of the Program reported in (Chaudhury, Friedman, & Onishi, 2013) as well as complementary analysis of an independent data set, the 2011 Annual Poverty Indicator Survey (APIS), as reported in Paqueo, Orbeta, Castaneda, & Spohr (2013). “Dropout of Pantawid Pamilya child beneficiaries just above the current age 14 cut-off of the program’s educational grant represents a loss to the government’s education and longer-term poverty reduction objectives and also to households, since a child who fails to complete high school is likely to earn much lower income as an adult,” the NAC noted. Under the extended age coverage program, the selection of children aged 3-18 for education monitoring shall

More Power! I would like to extend my heartfelt greetings to the Board of Directors, Officers and all Members of Cagayan de Oro Press Club on their INDUCTION AND OATHTAKING Ceremony on March 22, 2014. Congratulations, Mabuhay and More Power to the CDO Press Club!!

be based on the following existing policy: For Sets 1-5 households, the child beneficiaries selected by the system will continue to be monitored; For Set 6 households, existing child beneficiaries selected by the household will continue to be monitored; and For Set 7 households and onwards, the household shall select among the children included in the household roster from the registration. The program will cover poor households with child beneficiaries up to 18 years of age or finish high school, whichever comes first. Those who turn 19 years of age within the school year will still be monitored until the end of the school year. Lawyer Araceli F. Solamillo, Regional Director of DSWD in Northern Mindanao disclosed that after validation and enrolled back to the program, children grantees, irrespective of year level, must enroll in school and maintain a class attendance rate of at least 85% per month. For a child beneficiary enrolled in elementary school, the education grant package P300 per month. On the other hand, for a child beneficiary enrolled in high school, the education grant package P500 per month. Solamillo added that for health conditionalities, grantees are required to have periodic checkups, growth monitoring, and vaccinations for children 0-5 years of age; twice a year intake of deworming pills for children 6-14 years old, pre- and post-natal care for pregnant women. A health grant package P500 per household per month will be provided to households, irrespective of the household composition, that have only been in the program for 60 months or less. The grant package will be based on the grade level of the child beneficiaries and years of program exposure of the household. The highest possible grant package is P 2,000 per household per month for households with 3 children in high school and has been in the program for less than 60 months or 5 years. For Family Development Session, the parent grantees will be monitored monthly irrespective of household’s length of exposure. For households who have been in the program for 5 years and less, this will be tied to the health grant. For households who have been in the program for more than 5 years, this will no longer be tied to any grant. Also, those eligible for grants for high school extension starting January 2014 will be paid retroactively. Lanao del Norte province has the highest number of potential grantees with 15,026; followed by Misamis Oriental with 12,960; Bukidnon-8,054; Misamis Occidental-6,814; and Camiguin-1,275.

community for Garbage Segregation, which is the focal mandate of R.A.9003 or The Solide Waste Management Act,said Councilor Salcedo, who was a barangay chairman of one of the Villages here that receives a National Award for Proper Wate Disposal. For his part, Councilor Lim said the recent private management of garbage collection in the city allegedly failed to met the standard of a quality and efficient garbage collection, where

the city government spent millions of pesos for the contract. But, this lead to an argument between Councilors Lim and Salcedo, the former being in the Majority block. Lim said the contract must be rescinded and the task of garbage collection be transferred to the barangays. The barangay is entitled to the amount of P200 as service fee per residual waste they collected and hauled to the City’s Open Dumpsite.

These are one of the incentives of the barangays in the proposal to address the perennial problem of garbage disposal. Salcedo, on the other hand,opposed the rescinding of the contract. The proposal will be reviewed for further study in the next regular session with the City Council and the with the Committee on Barangay Affairs and the Committee on Health that chaired by City Councilor Dante Pajo.
