AGAYAN de Oro City - Local companies exporting food and agriculture products to China are required to register and accredit online to ensure entry of their products to the huge market.
“All goods to enter Mainland China (fishery, feeds, processed food & beverages and fresh fruits, etc.) require registration (new and old) and accreditation. For new (exporters), this may involve site inspections and product tests/sampling,” said Christine dela Cruz, commercial officer of the Philippine Trade and Investment Centre (PTIC) in China. Dela Cruz said China’s Decree 55 requires all exporters and agents, as well as Chinese importers, to complete a web-based registration process.
“Exporters are encouraged to work closely with their importers to provide the required information,” Such decree covers a wide range of products under the jurisdiction of China’s State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (SAQSIQ) Food Safety Bureau. These include food commodities such as meat and meat products, aquatic products, egg and egg products, dairy products, bee china /P5

You have started to learn the ins and outs of investing your money. And perhaps for the first time ever, you are now actually doing it! Welcome to the club of the investors – those who are making their money work for them. But have you actually asked yourself why are you growing your money? What are you investing for? What are your investment goals? When would you need it? We have s o many reasons for growing our money. These may either be generic or personal. But growing your money for no reason at all might
TO see God is to believe He is real and that He is a miracle-performing God. That is what many people believe today. But that is not what happened during the Israelites in the Old Testament time. They constantly disobeyed God even though God performed amazing and powerful miracles for them. The Israelites constantly disobeyed and rebelled against God even though they saw all the miracles. Another story would explain the same in Luke 16:19-31. In the story, a man in hell asks Abraham to send Lazarus back from the dead to warn his brothers. Abra-

Miracles for today The New Generation Alex A. Podador ham informed the man, “If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead” (Luke 16:31). God’s sending His only son, Jesus is an amazing proof of God’s miracle, His love for mankind. The Bible records countless miracles Jesus performed, yet many people
did not believe in Him. If God performed miracles today as He did in the past, the result would be the same. People would be amazed and would believe in God for a short time. That faith would be shallow and would disappear the moment something unexpected or frightening occurred. A faith based on miracles is not a mature faith. God

Criminology Education in the Philippines (Second of three parts)
BRO. EDCEL L. CLOSAS
tuesday march 12, 2013
The influx of criminology enrollees in colleges and universities nationwide have not only created jobs, but have bolstered a lot of attached and related businesses as well. These economic conditions have contributed meaningfully to nation building, not only because taxes were collected, but also in the transformation of the lives of our people, and allowing us to enjoy the true meaning of quality life. Relevance and Materiality of Criminology Education in Public Safety There is no scintilla of logic, nor iota of reason; not even a trivial piece of evidence, to show that
Gerry J. Caño criminology education is unfit and irrelevant to the policing business. Criminology is the most and only germane course for the police service and public safety related fields. Criminology and Criminal Justice Education in United States of America, European
Union, Australia, Canada, and other countries is also the most and only relevant formal education and material in understanding crime, criminality, and policing. Equally relevant and material in all other fields like i.e., Teaching to Education Graduates, Lawyering to Lawyers, Medicating to Medical Doctors etc. The core subjects of Criminology Education are the same core subjects that the Philippine National Police Academy has adopted since it started. The training provided to PNP personnel from the ranks of Police Officer 1 to Police Superintendent, tackles criminology core subjects on Criminal Investigation, Criminal Law, Forensic Sciences, Police
Administration, Police Operations, Police Intelligence and many more are also found in the core subjects of the criminology curriculum. The relevant Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Memoranda and Policy Standards stipulate that a criminology student has to complete Five Hundred Forty (540) hours of On-the-Job-Training (OJT), in the different law enforcement agencies/offices before they would graduate. Since this educational program has been offered in 1950, no Criminology graduate skipped the curriculum requirement to undergo OJT. This tells us that even before Criminology graduates applied into the police criminology /P5

ARMM legislator salutes the contribution of women’s to society By Apipa P. Bagumbaran
MARAWI City - A legislator of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) underscored the multiple contributions of women to the society. Assemblywoman Samira Gutoc-Tomawis said women not only play the role of mothers, but also of teachers, providers and professionals reminding the society of the need to balance modernity and

from page 4 Other reasons may be personal and varies from individual to individual. That might be having funds to start building your dream house in five years. Or that could be enjoying your dream family vacation in one of those exotic places in a year or two. Perhaps it could even be accumulating more than enough wealth for altruism, and helping others for a noble cause! Nevertheless, whatever those goals are, the most important questions you need to be asking would be: Are my goals realistic? Are they monetized into the right figures? Are my assumptions with regards to returns correct and realistic? In setting future financial goals, you need to establish how much is enough and when would you need it. For only then would you be able to know if you have reached your investment target. Only then would you be able to select the best portfolio from the investment pyramid with the appropriate mix of risk, return and liquidity to match your investing horizon and profile. Being able to come up with the right assumptions and projections for your future lifetime financial goals might need the help of a reliable financial professional.

Paul wrote to the Hebrews in Hebrews 2:4 saying, “God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.” We now have the truth of Jesus recorded in Scripture. We now have the writings of the apostles recorded in Scripture. Jesus and His apostles, as recorded in Scripture, are the cornerstone and foundation
tradition. She addec, women are innate teachers because they are the first to teach their child, while some leave their families behind to work overseas in order to feed their families. Assembly woman Tomawis further said the role of women in the workforce and economic development must also be accounted for. “They have overcome major hurdles and even worse stereotypes, cementthick beliefs against their
capacity to make decisions, and even with their multiple burdens in their vast communities, they hide their pains because they are expected to be strong for their families,” she contended. Thus, she enj oine d ARMM constituents to “cite stories of women and make them part of a tapestry being woven in an evolving cultural and democratic society that is preparing for a Bangsamoro government.” (APB/PIA10/asf )
of our faith (Ephesians 2:20). In this sense, miracles are no longer necessary, as the message of Jesus and His apostles has already been attested to and accurately recorded in the Scriptures. Yes, God performs miracles. At the same time, we should not necessarily expect miracles to occur today just as they did in Bible times. Indeed today, God makes miracles and signs and wonders. Give praise to God, He is worthy of it.

National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) Circulars have also recognized Criminologist for lateral entry in line or technical services of the PNP. A licensed Criminologist also has a civil service eligibility equivalent among the ranks of the police from Police Officer 1 up to Police Superintendent, an eligibility equally enjoyed among Lawyers. No less than the sovereign Filipino people, the Philippine Congress (House of Representatives and Philippine Senate), and the Office of the President of the Republic of the Philippines, have recognized the value and relevance of criminology education in policing.

Exporters need to establish a quality safety management system; prepare a purchase inspection and record system for raw materials, auxillary materials, food additives, packaging material and containers; and establish production records about safety management of exported food. For foods imported for the first time that have no national safety standard, the consignee shall submit the permit certificate issued by the health administration department of the State Council to the inspection and quarantine agency. Likewise, China is undertaking label inspection regulations for import and export pre-packaged foods. Foods found substandard shall have technical process under the supervision of inspection and quarantine agencies. Those who could not have technical process or those still found substandard after process are not allowed access to China. (DV/PHILEXPORT/jdelpf)

products, and other nonprescribed foods such as biscuits and beverages. “Exporters are encouraged to work closely with their importers to provide the required information,” she advised. China is implementing the electronic certification (e-cert) system to establish a unified data exchange platform and achieve automatic data exchange and one-to-one certification. When Chinese authorities finish inspecting and quarantine, they will issue the certificate which include the electronic certificate and printed certificate. All the data of electronic certificate can be viewed in the e-cert system. The printed certificate, on the other hand, will be transmitted to the import authority along with the goods and will be delivered to the exporter. Measures for inspection, quarantine, supervision and safety management are applicable to import and export food, as well as on food-related products, grains, fruits and edible live animals.

The new contracting methodology, rates, and payment structure to be applied on all prospective ASPAs are designed to lower the overall cost of AS by as much as 40%, and at the same time ensure the availability of AS capacity for the reliability and security of the grid,” NGCP said. NGCP has the crucial role of providing AS to all transmission users of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao grids as required by the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 (EPIRA), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, the Philippine Grid Code (PGC) and the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) Rules. NGCP is also mandated to implement the ERC- pro-

mulgated Ancillary Service Procurement Plan (ASPP) and the Ancillary Services Cost Recovery Mechanism (AS-CRM). Ancillary Services, as defined in Section 4 (b) of the EPIRA, are “those services that are necessary to support the transmission of capacity and energy from resources to loads while maintaining reliable operation of the transmission system in accordance with good utility practice and the Grid Code”. Such AS are needed to ensure reliability in the operation of the transmission system and consequently, in the reliability of the electricity supply in the Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao Grids. It is the responsibility of NGCP to adequately serve generation companies, distribution utilities and suppliers requiring transmission service and/or ancillary services through the transmission system. Ancillary services stabilize electricity supply and prevent system-wide blackout. These regulate the electricity coming into homes so that lights do not flicker. During times of emergencies when a power plant unexpectedly breaks down, these services make a back-up plant readily available to temporarily augment the lack of supply. As NGCP is responsible for determining, acquiring, and dispatching the capacity needed to supply the required ancillary services and for developing and proposing wheeling charges and ancillary service tariffs to the ERC, it makes sure that only efficient but affordable ancillary services providers are contracted. It should be noted that NGCP bills and collects AS charges from its direct customers then remits these collections directly and entirely to the AS providers. As the collecting agent, NGCP does not get revenues from the said charges. NGCP is a privately owne d cor p oration in charge of operating, maintaining, and developing the country’s power grid. It transmits high-voltage electricity through “power superhighways” that include the interconnected system of transmission lines and towers, substations and related assets.

RDC 10 sectoral committees review FY 2014 budget By Apipa P. Bagumbaran
CAGAYAN de Oro City - The four sectoral committees of the Regional Development Council (RDC) in Region 10 convened yesterday for a budget consultation and review. They reviewed the projects and budgets of national/ regional government agencies, government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) and state universities and colleges (SUCs) in the region for fiscal year (FY) 2014. RDC 10 Co-chairperson Arsenio L. Sebastian III said the purpose of the consultation was to ensure that the proposed programs, projects and activities of the agencies, GOCCs and SUCs in the region are consistent with the Regional Development Plan and supportive to the Philippine Development Plan’s goal of inclusive growth. Sebastian added that the consultation aims to know whether the on-going programs and projects have benefited the most deserving beneficiaries like what impact did these projects have on farmers living in mountainous areas or the marginal fishermen in fishing villages of the region. The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) presented their programs and budget proposals for the Macro and Development Administration Com-
mittee. The Department of Health (DOH), Department of Education (DepEd), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and National Housing Authority (NHA) presented theirs for the Social Development Committee. The Social Development Committee also reviewed the priority programs, projects and corresponding budgets of SUCs like the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSUIIT), Misamis Oriental State College of Agriculture and Technolog y (MOSCAT) and Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST), among others. Other presenters were the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), Bureau of Fishery and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Department of Tourism (DOT), Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) for the Economic Development Committee while the National Irrigation Administration (NIA), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Land Transportation Office (LTO), National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and the Land
private schools, employees from the civil service, or citizens of known probity and competence who are registered voters of the city/ municipality maybe appointed as members of the BEI, as long as the chairman is a public school teacher. Luckily for Misamis Occidental, Baguio said, all the BEI members are public school teachers, and all its polling places will have one Precinct Count Optical Scanning (PCOS) machine using a paper-based
automated election system, during the May 13 exercise. Likewise, all the BEI’s has one of their members an information technology –capable person trained for the purpose, as certified by
the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), which is also a provision of Comelec Resolution 9640, Baguio added. (RCAguhob/ PIA10-Misamis Occidental/ jdelpf )
Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) presented their budget proposals to the Infrastructure Development Committee. Engineer Alan L. Olavides, chief economic development specialist of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) in the region, said the parameters that were considered in reviewing the programs, projects, activities and budgets were not only efficiency and effectiveness but also relevance and sustainability. He said they also looked into the extent of which the objectives of a development intervention were consistent with the beneficiary requirements or the needs of the region or the community, as well as the probability of continued long-term benefits. The sector committee recommendations will be presented by the respective chairpersons to the RDC 10 during its full council meeting on March 12 for confirmation and endorsement to the concerned agency’s central offices. The budget review was in line with the RDC’s mandate as provided for in Executive Order 325 which states that RDCs shall review and endorse to the national government the annual budgets of agency regional offices, state colleges and universities and special development authorities.
