Tricycles sa Bugo-Tablon naglutaw Sinulat ni Arjay S. Felicilda, News Editor
DAW n a g a lut aw p a … wa l a p ay kasigurohan ang kaugma-on sa mga motorsiklong-de-sidecar nga nagbiyahi-an gikan sa Barangay Bugo nganha sa Tablon. Hangtud karon, wala pa naka-decide ang city counci l committe e on
public utilities nganha sa hang yo sa Agusan, Tablon, Puerto and Bugo Motorcycle with Side Car Passengers Association nga sila tugtan pagpadayon ilahang operasyon. Usa sa nakababag mao ang resolution gikan sa natungdang mga barangay
councils nga magatugot sa operasyon niana nga matang sa pampasaherong sakyanan. Gipamugos sa Roads and Traffic Administation (RTA) nga mokuha una ang operators og barangay resolution ayha pa atimanon sa komitiba ang ilahang hangyo. Gusto usab sa RTA nga
tumbukon gayod ang hustong gidaghanon sa mga motorsiklong-de-sidecar sa matag barangay ug kinahanglang ma-cover gayod sa passenger-liability insurance ang matag unit. Nasayran nga adunay ordinansa sa dakbayan nga naga-authorize sa ’motorcycles with sidecars’ pagoperate tadlas sa nasangpit
niana nga mga barangay. Ubos sa maong balaod, ang natungdang operators mokuha usab og Mayor’s permit o provisional authority gikan sa gobyerno sa dakbayan. Gisugyot usab sa RTA ang bag-ong traffic scheme diin ang mga motorsiklong-de-sidecar mohatud-kuha lamang sa
mga pasahero sulod sa masigka-utlanan sa matag barangay. Gipaabot nga kini atimanon -on sa komitiba, kung ang Agusan, Tablon, Puerto and Bugo Motorcycle with Side Car Passengers Association maka-submit na sa tanang requirements. (basi sa report ni APD)

Farmers coop signs MOA with Pag-IBIG By Pinky M. Abejo
CAGAYAN de Oro City - The UMPEA Farmers Multi-purpose Cooperative of Maguindanao province has inked a Memorandum of Agreement with PagIBIG Fund Cagayan de Oro Branch for the activation of its membership and payment of necessary monthly savings. Pag-IBIG Fund Cagayan de Oro Department Manager Ferdinand F. Saniel signed the MOA, with UMPEA Farmers MPC Chair Antonio R. Orpio, along with the officers of both entities. The MOA signing took place
at the Training Room of the Pag-IBIG Fund Cagayan de Oro Branch, January 31, this year. Adding highlight to the occasion was the UMPEA Farmer MPC’s payment of initial membership savings of its employees and members. The UMPEA Farmers MPC is a duly organized cooperative, mainly engaged in the trading of rice, corn and other farm products. Recently, it started venturing on realty business. The cooperative is composed of currently-employed and
self-employed members, mostly vendors, with main offices in Balong/Indutan, Kakuntalan, Maguindanao and a sub-office at the 4th Floor of Ficco Building, Matilde Neri Sts., Carmen, this city. Republic Act 9679, or the Home Development Mutual Fund Law, requires every Filipino worker, with at least P1,000.00 monthly income, to actively save with the Pag-IBIG Fund. The law applies to all selfemployed, including cooperative members. (PMA/ jdelpf )

Aduna gani mga panahon nga kung manilhig kining asawa sa dakong puno-an sa “Balete” masige kini og yawyaw kay sige man kuno siyag kapusoy sa dulang “Suertres.” Tungod sa ka adik niini sa Suertres, madunggan ni Mister nga mag-ihap ang iyang Misis. Diay, gi-ihap sa iyang misis ang tingog sa “Tuko” kung kanus-a kini maundang aron maoy himoong pamoste inig ka ugma. Apan bisan pa sa pagpaningkamot ni Misis nga

Gipunit kini niya ug dako ang iyang kakurat kay aduna kini upat ka numero nga 279, 289, 772, ug 828. Wala maglangan ang Misis ug iya kining gipatdan gilayon sa tulo ka hugna––11 a.m., 4 p.m. ug 9 p.m. draws. Pagka-ugma grabe ang bagolbol ni Misis ilawon sa dakong punoan sa Balete kay napusoy man siya maong mga numero. Apan wala ka-agwanta ang Enkangto sa Belete busa mitubag kini ug nagkanayon: “Amo na gani kanang gilabay nga papel Manang kay usa ka bulan na namo kanang gimaintain apan wala gyud migawas.”
Think a minute… Of all the jobs in news and journalism, being a war correspondent is the most dangerous. Some reporters are captured as prisoners, some escape, and some die. Young 25-ye ar-old Leonard Spencer was a reporter for the London Morning Post. His assignment was the Boer War in South Africa. Leonard was riding a train to the frontlines of battle when suddenly there was a violent crash. The Boer army had ambushed and attacked this British train. During the shooting, Leonard jumped out into all the bullets and exploding shells to help clear the train tracks. In fact, after the train pulled out of this trap, with many British soldiers saved, the

one man who was left behind to face the enemy alone was this young newspaper reporter. He was captured and put into the Pretoria prison, which was world famous for its high security and few escapes. Amazingly, young Leonard escaped this famous prison. Yet he still had 300 miles of enemy territory to survive and find his way through to freedom. He walked alone for many days and nights, continually dodging enemy soldiers. Tired, hungry and thirsty, he finally reached a mining town and knocked on the door of the only British person living there. Leonard was then smuggled onto a train to the British consul and safety. You know what’s really
amazing? Leonard Spencer is not remembered for his bravery in the South African Boer War. You see, this young journalist who saved a train of British soldiers and escaped the enemy against nearly impossible odds, continued to do the impossible the rest of his

And Jesus is the one who can give you the willpower you need to start changing now. Then you’ll start doing the right thing, no matter what it costs you.

MARAWI City - The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BFAR-ARMM) has rolled-out P1.9 million, Monday, for some 400 seaweed farmers in the coastal town of Parang, Maguindanao province. The project is intended to provide the said farmers with more sustainable livelihood and to boost the region’s seaweed production, said BFAR-ARMM Director Janice Musali. Beneficiary-farmers will also receive farm inputs for some 120 hectares of seaweed farm. Another 50 hectares is expected to open up soon, according to Director Musali. ARMM ranks first in the country, in terms of seaweed production with bulk coming from the region’s island provinces, especially Tawi-Tawi. BFAR officials estimate that the region still has around 20, 017 hectares of potential seaweed farm area. BFAR-ARMM signed a contract with the Kilusang Magkaibigan Multi-Purpose Cooperative (KMMPC) for the procurement, supply, and delivery of seaweed input materials after a bidding process.

BPI 2012 net income at P16.3 billion
The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) posted strong business volume and revenue growth in 2012 as the Philippines likewise grew at a faster pace compared to other Asean economies. BPI’s unaudited net income for full year 2012 reached P16.3 billion, a 27% increase over the P12.8 billion posted in 2011. This translated to a Return on Equity of 17.5% and a Return on Assets of 1.9%. Total resources reached P985 billion or 17% higher than the previous year as the Bank’s core businesses remained solid. Deposits expanded by a healthy 18% to P802 billion while assets under management was P743 billion or 11% higher, bringing total intermediated funds to P1.5 trillion. The net loan portfolio increased by 16% to P527 billion as all markets sustained double digit growths: 17% for both the consumer segment and the middle market/ SMEs, and 12% for the top tier corporates. Asset quality continued to improve with its 30-day NPL ratio down to 1.46% from last year’s 1.87%. Net interest income rose by 6% as the average asset base went up by P64 billion. Net interest margin had a slight 10 bps contraction as spreads were challenged following the 100 bps cut in policy rates last year as well as the non remuneration of banks’ reserve requirement deposits with the BSP. Non-interest income was 25% better mainly due to higher trading gain on securities sold, other operating income, and fees & commissions. Operating expense growth was managed at 6% coming from technology and occupancy related expenses and regulatory costs. Impairment losses were at P2.9 billion due to additional provisions for non credit related items and foreclosed assets. BPI’s market capitalization was at P338 billion as of end 2012. The Bank remains adequately capitalized with a Basel II Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of 14.2% and Tier 1 CAR of 12.8%. BPI President and CEO Aurelio R. Montinola III commented, “2012 was a banner year for BPI, as we generated record profits and exceeded our return on equity goal of 16%. We will aim for 12 to 15% loan growth in 2013. However, given significant securities trading gains last year and an even lower interest rate regime this year, our challenge for 2013 will be to deliver a meaningful earnings growth after a record 2012 performance.”
