BULUAN, Maguindanao-While most city and municipal halls or plazas have the statue of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, Maguindanao province opted not to put a hero or a certain personality for its monument.

Instead, it has a big white dove perched on a globe spreading its wings – called the Mindanao Peace Monument – as the people’s way of expressing their quest for a lasting peace in the region.

It was donated by the advocacy group Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) led by South Korea peace activist Man Hee Lee, and the Schincheonji Church of Jesus the Temple.

The unveiling of the monument was one of the highlights during Monday’s Peace Summit.

Lee’s group has been one with the Mindanao BishopsUlama Conference, in his group’s attempt to help various religious groups come to an understanding as far as peace is concerned.

Duterte says irrigation water must be given free to farmers

D

avao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has shown his deep understanding of agriculture when upon seeing the cracked rice fields of Sibalom, Antique, he maintained that irrigation services must be provided to Filipino farmers for free.

Passing by the dried up rice fields of Sibalom during a quick visit to Antique Province Monday, Duterte deplored the failure of Philippine agriculture, especially rice production, to provide water services to farmers.

"Where in the world could you find a situation where it is the rice farmers who are subsidizing the salaries and operational funds of a government agency in charge of irrigation?," he asked.

Duterte said this deplorable situation is happening

tions and the only source of money is the fee paid by the farmer for the water which is used in irrigating his rice farm.

Rice farmers who belong to irrigators' associations who could not pay the irrigation fees are deprived of water services, a system which penalizes not only those who have not paid but also those who have paid but whose farms are in the same category as the delinquent farmers.

"How can we expect our rice farmers to produce

in the Philippines where a portion of the irrigation fees collected from rice farmers is being used to pay the salaries and the operation of the National Irrigation Administration (NIA).

The NIA, a government owned and controlled corporation (GOCC), is in charge of the construction and maintenance of all irrigation facilities in the Philippines.

more with this system?," Duterte asked.

And after seeing the same pathetic rural scene of cracked rice fields and farms with grasses turned brown because of lack of water, Duterte said Philippine agriculture needs a dramatic overhaul.

What was very ironic with the lack of water in Sibalom rice fields is the fact that the farms are located very near the Sibalom River, one of the biggest rivers in Antique whose waters flow out to the West

Philippine Sea. "We should learn to manage our water resources just like what Israel and the US are doing so that our farmers will have sufficient supply of water all-year round," the Davao City said.

Duterte, who is being asked by many sectors in the country to consider running for the presidency, said that if it is his destiny to become President, he would undertake a major overhaul of Philippine agriculture.

"Water must be provided

free to Filipino farmers because that is the only way we could produce more food for the Filipinos," he said.

Of the four names being mentioned as probably presidential materials Vice Pres. Jejomar Binay, Sen. Grace Poe, Sec.

the alleged overpriced bid project cost of the Sasa Port Modernization project by the Department of Transportation and Communication (DoTC).

Ilagan also told Davao reporters that the city council should also see that funds really go to

development projects considering that the city government approves permits.

The Davao Sasa Port Modernization Project has been criticized lately because its project cost was increased to P17 billion from P4 billion recommended by the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA).

The increase in project cost raised concerns that the project could be used as milking cow for the 2016 elections.

The matter was already raised to the attention of the Office of the Ombudsman for an

investigation.

Ilagan also committed to scrutinize the matter once brought to the legislative body.

She said that whatever is the cost these projects should be made transparent.

Ilagan was also concerned of the informal settlers in the port area, saying that in any development the welfare of the families must be addressed such as their relocation.

"There are concerns that has to be looked into and this should not be left out," Ilagan added.

AMBOANGA City––The city schools division of the Department of Education (DepEd) emphasized anew its prevailing “no collection” policy in line with the enrollments for the opening of school year 2015-2016 next week.

Dr. Rosalio Conturno Jr., Chief Education Supervisor and Schools Division OIC, has enjoined all school authorities to comply with DepEd’s standing policy guidelines of no collection

during enrollment.

“They are not allowed to collect anything,” Conturno reiterated.

He added that schools can only begin collections See policy, page A11

Gensan implements of RA 2012 GENERAL Santos City––Indigent or poor detainees at the city jail here who are facing minor offenses will soon get a chance to gain temporary freedom, with the adoption by the local government of Republic Act (RA) 10389 or the Recognizance Act of 2012.

Vice Mayor Shirlyn BañasNograles said Wednesday the move was based on the passage by the city council of an ordinance that sets the full implementation of RA 10389, which institutionalized recognizance as a mode of granting the release of detained indigent persons pending the resolution of their cases.

She said they have initially created a special task force that will spearhead the implementation in the city of the provisions of the Recognizance Act. Dubbed Local Recognizance Task Force of General Santos City, she said it was mainly tasked to expedite the processes in the granting or denial of applications for the release inmates on recognizance.

Pelaez pushes for annual auditing of electric coops LAGUINDINGAN, Misamis Oriental--Vice Governor Joey G. Pelaez took the opportunity to lay his call for rigorous annual auditing scheme for electric cooperatives in the country before the National Electrification Administration (NEA), Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) and the general assembly of Misamis Oriental 1 Rural Electric Service Cooperative, Inc. (Moresco 1).

Pelaez was one of the guest speakers of MORESCO 1 during the 45th Annual General Members

Assembly and 47th Founding Anniversary last 23 May 2015 at Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental. In his speech, he placed emphasis on the significance of “balancing the interest of the electric cooperatives and the member-consumers”.

trification Administration, adding to its 2013 award for single digit System’s Loss of 2.71%.

Aside from being a champion of education, Pelaez also took energy as one of his advocacy priorities following the footsteps of his grandfather, former Vice President Emmanuel Neri Pelaez – the Father of Rural Electrification.

Greed: Root of all evils

Will you readily agree with me if I say here that greed is the single word that defines human life in today’s world?

This was the thesis of the message I gave last Sunday in three of six worship services in our church, the United Church of Christ in the Philippines-Ellinwood Malate Church here in Manila, in celebration of Pentecost Sunday and the 67th founding anniversary of the UCCP. Christendom takes Pentecost Sunday as the birth of the Christian church because it was on that day that Peter preached and taught about Jesus, the resurrected Christ, with boldness after he and the other disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit that descended from above in a form that looked like tongues of fire and touched each one of them. After Peter delivered his stirring message, 3,000 were added to their group that day alone, so the bible says.

The UCCP, on the other hand, was born on May 25, 1948 when more than 100 leaders coming from five Protestant church traditions, the Presbyterians, the Philippine Methodist Church, the Disciples Church, the United Evangelical Brethren and the Congregationalists, gathered in Eillinwood Malate Church to sign on behalf of their respective churches the covenant sealing their union thus giving birth to the UCCP. The birth of the UCCP

defies human behavior.

Normal human behavior that is shaped according to the ways of this world, undeniably, frowns at unions especially if such means the giving up of certain ambitions and self-entitlements. The leaders of the five churches proved to all and sundry it is still possible to set aside personal ambitions and self-entitlements to give way to unity.

Perhaps this lesson learned from the forebears of the UCCP will rub off on our countrymen opposed to peace in Mindanao through the Bangsamoro Basic Law. I would rather give this effort a chance to work than shut off all possibilities at unity. I have my own questions about the BBL but my reservations about the proposed law is nothing compared to what it can achieve for Mindanao if it is given the chance to work as intended.

Anyway, going back to my message last Sunday, I emphasized that the

Think a minute…

A little boy said: “I’ve learned that if I’m in trouble at school, I’m going to be in more trouble at home.” A husband remarked: “I’ve learned I should never praise my mother’s cooking while I’m eating my wife’s cooking.”

An old woman observed: “I’ve learned that 6-yearold children are the only ones who think it’s neat when their teeth fall out.”

One guy said: “I’ve learned that loaning money to family and friends causes them to lose their memory.” And a young adult painfully concluded: “I’ve learned you can do something in a moment that will give you heartache the rest of your life.”

You’ve heard the expres-

sion, “Live and learn.” The two should go together.

But sometimes we just live.

“We all make mistakes, but it’s the wise who learn not to repeat them.” In a way, our life’s like a ship: we can steer it by the rudder or by the rocks. We can learn to read the signs and avoid trouble by making the right choices, or we can learn the slow, hard way by continuing to run into problems from our wrong choices.

So if we want a good life, we need to be a good student of life. We need to realize we can learn something from ever ybody.

Some people even teach us by their bad example how not to live. A smart man said: “We should learn from other people’s

A deeper view

Jesse E.L. Bacon II

Holy Spirit’s role as what the bible says is to reveal the truth about God and consequentially that truth will lead people to understand what his will is for them. In knowing God’s will for people, people immediately recognize the naked truth about their sinfulness that is expressed through greed.

Truth is, the problems the world is facing today like wars and upheavals, hunger and even obesity, political oppression of refugees and today’s boat people, the economic exploitation by the world’s billionaires who are projected to control more that 50 percent of the world’s wealth by 2016, the wanton abuse of the rest of God’s creation resulting in what we now call as climate change, to name just few of humanity’s numerous problems, are traceable to this one word greed.

Greed has undeniably become the root of today’s all evils. In the midst of these insatiable greed, humans are called to be transformed, transformed from the ways of this world shaped and defined by greed to becoming obedient to the ways of God. What does it mean to be transformed and thus follow the ways of God, live out in our day-to-day life the ways of God? It simply means living a simple life yet a life dedicated to serving the last and the least in society.

A simple life is a life

that is sustained only by the essentials or basic needs of life and never on wants and desires. We need to clothe ourselves but does it have to be those expensive signature apparels? Admittedly, we need cellphones but should it be an i-Phone or any of the Samsung S series models if our need for such gadget is only for texting? If we can’t even reply to text messages we receive because of lack of load, do you think we need to have those expensive cellphone brands?

Yes it is a necessity for us to eat, but should it cost us P1,000 per person or even more to satisfy our hunger by eating in expensive food joints? We need to have a house, but should it cost millions of pesos when we stay in it only six to seven hours a day at an average?

Living a simple life in this highly materialistic world is indeed hard, if not impossible. Serving others especially the downtrodden, the oppressed, the poor and the exploited in a world that rewards selfishness with power, fame and wealth, is impossible as well.

Living according to God’s ways as transformed beings in Christ is indeed a tall order. It is only possible when humans can conquer their greed that is innate in their nature.

Think A Minute

We can learn from good books, our memories, as well as from winning and losing.

You see, it’s when we stop learning that we start getting bored. We humans are made with tremendous potential for always learning and doing new things.

In fact, it’s when we stop learning that we stop living. A successful businessman said: “Anyone who stops learning is old, but whoever keeps learning stays young.” How about you? Are you just growing old? Why not ask Jesus to take charge of your life?

He’ll keep you from getting bored and teach you His ways every day, so you’ll never stop learning and can stay young.

mistakes, since there’s simply not enough time for us to make all the mistakes ourselves.” Another person said: “I’ve learned silence from the talkative and kindness from the unkind.” So our different teachers can include both old people and young kids, friends and enemies.

Daily Inspiration Most vs Least “Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.”

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe - Writer, playwright (1749-1832)

Juvy Sarraga

As you plan your day today, take a look at your “To Do” list and consider assessing what things serve as more important to get done by using the “Most and Least method.” Allowing insignificant tasks to trump the significant and life changing activities of your day adds little to the value of

your future. How do you determine what matters most or least? Does the activity in some way support the improvement of others and self? Is it relationship building or merely wealth building?

Or does the goal combine the two? Is the goal more about impressing others or growing and improving self for loving others better? Put your inner needs high on the list, relationship building, character development, family, friends and neighbors. What matters least are things that soon fade away. Plan today for things that matter most.

DA promotes farm mechanization in Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Sur

BY VANESSA SANCHEZ

I

n its effort to attain food security and sufficiency in Caraga Region, the Department of Agriculture-Regional Field Office XIII has intensified the promotion of the Farm Mechanization Program by reaching out to the farmers themselves.

In coordination with the Philippine Center for Po stHar vest D e velop ment and Mechanization (PhilMech), the DA-RFO XIII recently conducted an information caravan on farm mechanization in rice-producing areas of Bayugan City, Esperanza, San Francisco, Rosario and Trento towns in Agusan del Sur, and Tago, San Miguel, Madrid and Cantilan towns in Surigao del Sur. Farmers and leaders of people’s organizations attended the five-day caravan. Experts from PhilMech and DA-RFO XIII discussed the farm mechanization

program and entertained queries from participants.

DA Information Section chief Emmylou Presilda told the farmers, “We are here to reach out to you and bring the good news.

We want you to know about the programs of the Department (of Agriculture) so you will be guided on how to avail yourselves of these services.”

Dr. Rodolfo Estigoy, PhilMech’s Applied Communications Division chief, explained the benefits of farm mechanization in terms of reducing production cost and postharvest losses. He also allayed farm-

Zambo City anti-smoking ordinance up for implementation on June 1

By R.G. Antonet A. Go

Z

AMBOANGA City – Dr. Rodelin Agbulos, city health officer, said he wanted to introduce an amendment on City Ordinance, 413 otherwise known as the AntiSmoking Ordinance.

Agbulos made this announcement Tuesday despite Ordinance 413 has yet to be implemented starting June 1, this year.

Agbulos said the amendment he wanted to introduce is the prohibition of smoking on city streets aside from public places and on public conveyance.

“That’s the amendment we wanted to introduce because we do not want to see anybody on the street can just smoke,” Agbulos said citing the case of Davao City.

In Davao City, Agbulos noted that no one can just smoke any-

where they wanted except in designated smoking areas.

Councilor Myra Paz Abubakar, the author of the ordinance, said she is amenable to the planned amendment of Agbulos.

However, she said the ordinance should be implemented first and a study should be conducted as to the effect of its implementation.

She said the ultimate goal of the ordinance is to totally ban

smoking in this city.

Meanwhile, Agbulos said they will inspect all schools to ensure that no one is selling cigarettes within the distance of 100 meters from school premises in compliance with the ordinance.

Abubakar said that selling of cigarettes to minors is also prohibited.

The penalties for smokers caught in violation of the ordinance are as follows: PhP500 fine,

DepEd readies for Oplan Balik Eskwela bats for no collection policy

By Emmanuel D. Taghoy

ZAMBOANGA City – The Department of Education (DepEd)-Zamboanga City Schools Division announced on Monday that all is set for the opening of classes on June 1 and it is strictly implementing the “No Collection Policy” in all public elementary and secondary schools in the city.

In a press conference, Dr. Rosalio Conturno Jr., chief education supervisor and the division’s officer-in-charge

said his office had organized a monitoring committee that would respond to problems encountered during enrolment.

Doctor Cunturno emphasized the guidelines that every public school must adhere during enrolment, particularly the DepEd’s “No Collection Policy.”

“Some of the schools here started the enrollment last week up to this coming Friday. They are not allowed to collect any amount and must follow the policy,” he

said.

Based on the guidelines of DepEd Order No. 41 series of 2012, no fees shall be collected from schoolchildren enrolling in pre­school up to Grade 4 during the enrolment period and at any time during the school year.

The prohibition shall not cover the authorized but voluntary contributions such as Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP), Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP), Red Cross, Anti-Tuberculosis (TB) Fund and ParentsTeachers Association (PTA), among others.

Moreover, for grade and year levels beyond Grade 4, no collection of any type should be undertaken during the enrolment period and the first month of classes. Starting on the second month of every school year, contributions may be collected, but only on a voluntary basis.

“Schools will start the collection of fees that are authorized by DepEd on the month of August which are purely voluntary and not compulsory,” said Dr. Cunturno. (FPG/EDT/PIA9Zamboanga City with reports from Shiela May Aquino)

City links trained on handling gender-based violence cases

By Dave G. Malcampo with reports from Shiela May Aquino

ZAMBOANGA City – To equip Pantawid Pamilya workers from the cities of Zamboanga and Isabela with knowledge and skills in handling gender-based violence (GBV) cases in their assigned communities, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)-9 has conducted recently a training for city links at the DSWD Conference Room along Gen. Vicente Alvarez this city.

DSWD’s Gender and Development (GAD) focal person Leonora Barahim said that this activity was

an offshoot from barangay-based focused group discussions that brought up issues involving gender-based violence such as battered wives, child abuse, pornography and others. “We believe that the city links can do a lot to respond to these issues,” Barahim said.

The DSWD also emphasized the referral mechanisms that are in place with the city links.

Barahim said that as social workers, city links should be equipped not only to properly refer these cases, but to provide the appropriate interventions when necessary. (FPG/ FDM/PIA9-Zamboanga City, with reports from Shiela May Aquino)

Geeks on a Beach 2015 gets backing from AirAsiaPH Geeks on a Beach (GOAB), the international tech confab which returns this August 2015 to Boracay Island, gets backing from Air Asia Philippines.

In the event launching today at the Azia Suites in Cebu City, GOAB organizers announced that AirAsia Philippines CEO Joy Caneba will be giving the keynote address during GOAB in behalf of Asia’s leading and largest low-cost carrier.

“AirAsia Philippines is excited to take part in an event renowned to be the International Summit for Tech, Startups and Design in the country. We are more than glad to share our own experience of building tech innovations that enhance the lives of ordinary people,” said Caneba.

GOAB has been providing an international platform for startups or innovation-driven enterprises, technopreneurs, and designers with a laid back yet productive interaction and discussion on technology, entrepreneurship, and actual business opportunities.

Caneba said that AirAsia Philippines’ backing of GOAB is a reaffirmation of the seriousness of its efforts to take roots in the Philippines by supporting its budding tech and startup communities.

The airline has earned a reputation for making air travel experience more convenient through tech innovations such as the mobile, web, and kiosk check-ins.

GOAB’s lead organizer TechTalks.ph, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering Filipino tech entrepreneurs and promoting the Philippine tech sector to the world, emphasized that this year’s event will be about less the hype and more action.

“Our success these past 2 years has pushed GOAB to return to Boracay Island this August 20-21 with a triple splash — triple number of innovative minds, triple funding opportunities, and triple doses of fun,” said Tina Amper, TechTalks.ph founder.

Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), the country’s leading wireless service provider, and IdeaSpace, the largest privately-backed early stage startup incubator in the country, have also consistently

supported GOAB for the past three years since the event’s first staging in Boracay.

“This year marks a transition of the Philippine startup ecosystem - from potentials to success stories. The 3rd Geeks on a Beach will be as exciting as ever as we go back to Boracay - a convergence of the best minds in the country with the best beach in the world.” said Earl Martin S. Valencia, president at IdeaSpace and VP for corporate innovation and

Also expressing support in behalf of the Smart Developer Network is Paul Amerigo Pajo, senior manager and developer evangelist at Smart. “Developers want to meet startups.

Startups want to meet developers. Geeks On A Beach is one of the few events that cater to both.”

“SMART and IdeaSpace have been with us from the very beginning. And now we also have AirAsia with us.

We are very happy to have more and more businesses, seasoned entrepreneurs, and even people from government backing GOAB,” said Amper.

She said that twenty tech champs in the world have so far confirmed their attendance to speak before an expected 600 participants from across the globe.

Some of the speakers include IdeaSpace President, Earl Valencia; Monk’s Hill Ventures Managing Director,

Kuo-Yi Lim; Kickstart Ventures President, Minette Navarrete; Rappler CEO, Maria Ressa; SMART Communications Developer Evangelist, Paul Pajo; Department of Science and Technology-Information and Communication Technology Office (DOST-ICTO) Deputy Executive Director, Mon Ibrahim; and 500 Startups Managing Partner, Khailee Ng. TechTalks.ph and the DOST-ICTO have partnered once again with Sym.ph, Happy

Garaje, and PRWorks for the third GOAB, and major partnerships with Smart through the Smart Developer Network, IdeaSpace, Microsoft, and Monk’s Hill Ventures.

Yesterday’s Answer

S pecial G ospel of the day (May28, 2015-Thursday) John 6:22-29”The next day the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone. There came other small boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks. So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus. When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal: Jesus did not accompany with his disciples to rest in somewhere because of his mercy to the people who followed him.

He wanted to become available in all the times and in fact; this is God’s nature who is available

Biblical reflection

Bro. Edcel L. Closas always now and forever.

Are we available to anyone if they need our presence?

Imitate Jesus by being available to the people always although he was tired physically. He thought the welfare of the people and not himself. This is a selfless love which means; to suffer for the sake of the other. To die in order that others might live. To be a looser in order that others will win. This is very opposite to selfishness which means; self preservation of everything and accumulation of all things for the welfare of oneself. Are you familiar with these two attitudes?

Where do you belong?

Clothes... from page A3

However, while the country, particularly the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), recognizes and appreciates their contributions to help in times of need, the department appeals that help should be done in acceptable ways and will not cause health hazards nor be harmful to the nation’s dignity.

As the department continuous to enhance its disaster response programs for the needy and vulnerable sectors of society in anticipation of the coming typhoon season and any other disaster that may be experienced this year in the country, it is reminding donors from abroad to avoid sending donations of used clothing for victims of calamities and follow the guidelines in sending donations.

According to DSWD Assistant Secretary Javier R. Jimenez, the department is not accepting donations of used clothing due to reasons like health and sanitation.

“It is also illegal to import used clothes under the Tariff and Customs Code and Republic Act No. 4653 or the Act to safeguard the health of the Filipino people and maintain the dignity of the nation through prohibition of the importation of used clothing and rags,” Jimenez said.

In adherence to this law, the agency is supporting the local textile industry while helping in the prevention of any health hazard that may be transmitted through the used clothing imported from other countries.

Jimenez explained that while they are aware that donors from other countries may develop a negative impression on the stand of the DSWD by thinking that even at times of disasters, “Filipinos are choosy,” he said he believes that the donors will understand the essence of such policy which is for the common good of the Filipino people and in compliance with the existing process governing donations.

In addition to this, textile industries and manufacturers affected by the influx of importation before of used clothing in the local market were also among the considerations made in implementing R.A. 4653.

The law aims to prevent the proliferation of imported used clothing which usually find their way into the open market and can jeopardize the economy, especially those engaging in textile and clothing business as there is a tendency that recipients of such used imported clothing will opt to resell them at cheaper prices which jeopardize local manufacturers as a result.

Jimenez recalled that donations of imported used clothing became a sort of “hassles” at the height of

the devastation caused by typhoon “Yolanda” in 2013.

Because of lack of awareness on the existing rules, some of the donated used clothing were put on hold at the warehouses of the Bureau of Customs (BOC), creating problems and confusions.

With that experience, he said they do not want a similar incident repeated once a natural disaster occurs and possible pouring of donations will take place.

He noted that while DSWD is appreciative of the efforts of all kind-hearted donors from abroad who just want to help by gathering used clothing from others who are willing to help, they want to ensure that donors will have a worryfree experience.

According to him, there are other ways that such benevolent donors can do to turn such donations of used clothing from abroad into other good use and not be put into waste which can benefit the disaster victims that they want to help in the country.

“They (donors from abroad) can sell it through ‘tiange’ so they can convert them (imported used clothing) into cash before sending them here in the country,” he said.

He added that to make the sending of donations easier and hassle-free wherein donors will not be charged with duty and VAT (value added tax), or avail of the “duty and VAT-free” entry process of donations, donors can partner with their trusted “SWADAs” or send them directly to DSWD. SWADAs or Social Welfare and Development Agencies are registered partners of DSWD who help the department in its mission of delivering social services to the needy sectors of the population in times of disasters.

“These SWADAS are registered, licensed and accredited by the department.

They can choose a particular SWADA as their partner in sending their donations for easier processing of their donations,” he added.

An organization can apply as SWADA by complying with the requirements and paying the processing fee.

The purpose of licensing SWADA is to ensure that only legitimate organizations that are accredited by the DSWD can receive foreign donations as these registered SWADAs are required to submit financial reports on how they distributed the donations turned over to them.

Jimenez also made it clear that what the department can only grant with accredited SWADAs are duty-free and VAT-free entry of donated goods and any other related fee is not covered.

“If there will be any other expenses related to foreign donation, we do not cover that,” he said.

He said that other expenses usually occur when

northmin . westmin . caraga . davao Your Mindanao-wide Community Newspaper

there are donated goods that are put on hold by the BOC in its warehouses.

He said that each day that donated goods are put on hold in a warehouse entails storage fees.

Donated goods are confiscated by the BOC when consignees do not comply with requirements by including unacceptable items (like imported used clothing and nearly expiring goods).

For donations that arrive at the pier, consignees have six days to process the release papers. After six days, a storage fee of PhP5,000 per day for each container van will be charged.

On the other hand, based on the existing policy, donations that arrive at the airport should be released on the same day. Otherwise, these will be charged with storage fees by the kilo or computed per cubic meter, whichever is higher.

Jimenez said that acceptable foreign donation are food and non-food items such as mats, blankets, shoes, medicines, soap, cooking and kitchen utensils.

Fo o d c o m m o d i t i e s should have a remaining lifespan of at least a year with sanitary and phytosanitary compliance.

In addition to this, during a state of calamity, especially for disaster of the same magnitude as typhoon Yolanda, the government opens a One-Stop-Shop to process foreign donations faster. (PNA)

Coops... from page A3

in MORESCO II last year.

This is because at present National Electrification Administration does not have the capacity to audit every year. “Dapat po yang mangyayari kasi lahat po ng ginagastos ng ating electric cooperative ay pera po ng bayan – pera po ng mga tao. It is of public interest. ” the Vice Governor said.

He strongly suggested that NEA should “strengthen its audit capacity or create an independent auditing body for all electric cooperatives.”

He further called for the sincerity in service among the officials of the cooperatives.

“Lalo na, na lahat ng ating Board Members ay halal ng ating mga member-consumers,” Pelaez emphasized.

“Especially on the issue that there are other cooperatives that are abusing their capital expenditures,” he called on the ERC to be “very strict in their evaluation of capital expenditures.”

The vice governor assured the public that he is one with the people in being vigilant of the energy services rendered by electric cooperatives in Misamis Oriental as embedded in his three-fold objective: 1) Meticulous Monitoring of the Charges on Electricity Bills, 2) Strict Monitoring of Applications for Approval of Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) and the Corre-

sponding Loans by Electric Cooperatives, 3) Ensuring that electric cooperatives carefully plan for future combination of energ y sources and provision of constant supply of electricity at an affordable rate.

This year’s theme for MORESCO – 1 AGMA is “Energizing Development, Empowering Lives”. Present in the event were 1st Consumers Alliance for Rural Energy Partylist (1-CARE) Representative Edgardo R. Masongsong, ERC Hearing Officer Atty. Rhett Roswell Mislang, and Member of the National Electrification Board of Administrators Eugene A. Tan.

of school fees authorized by the DepEd on August, and even then, collections and fees remain purely voluntary, not compulsory.

the world is rooted on religious differences.

“If we all believe in one God, then religion is not the problem,” he stressed during a translated speech at the peace summit.

Lee said the efforts and stand of Maguindanao province and its people calling for peace and supporting the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) are a way forward into achieving the dream of every peace-loving individual.

During the event, Maguindanao province and Lee’s group agreed to celebrate every 24th of January as international day of peace or HWPL day where they signed a peace covenant.

Before the monument unveiling, participants first had a peace march from the Buluan Gym going to the Rajah Buayan Peace Center.

Also participating were children and the security sectors waving flaglets and placards containing peace messages.

Among those present at the peace summit and delivered their messages of support were Sheik Khalifa Nando of the Shariah Supreme Court of the MILF Central Committee, Bishop Antonio Ledesma of the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro, and retired Marine commanding general Benjamin Dolorfino, who was dubbed as “peace warrior” because of his distinct approach at

dealing with the Mindanao insurgency.

The three highlighted the aspiration of the Moro people to achieve peace in Mindanao, and expressed their belief that the BBL will play a crucial role in attaining peace and stability in the island.

Sixteen-year-old Narimbai Utto, who represented the youth sector, expressed that she could not bear watching young boys forced to stop going to school to work as “padyak” drivers or to work in the farms to help their families make both ends meet.

Utto was the class valedictorian of Tukanalipao National High School, in the same village where the Mamasapano encounter took place last January. Sixty-four people died during the clash, including 44 from the police’s Special Action Force, 17 from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, and three civilians.

Utto said the war has made them even poorer because displacements continue to hamper their livelihoods and worsened their living conditions.

She appealed for the passage of the BBL and to stop the war, and instead address the welfare and education of Mindanao’s youth.

Dr. Alicia Manandog, of the Sultan Kudarat State University, in her speech representing the women sector, pushed for equality among tribes and religions, and not to treat women as second class citizens should the BBL be enacted into law.

Maguindanao Governor Esmael Mangudadatu, who is vocal in his campaign for the BBL, has appealed to all sectors to work together to achieve peace and give no chance for violence to happen again.

The governor recalled that during his youth, while helping her mother earn extra income with their ice candy store, armed men affiliated with rebel groups would come with pistols tucked in their waists.

“I don’t want the children anymore to grow in the culture of violence,” he said.

North Upi, Maguindanao Mayor Ramon Piang said that since the BBL is being supported by majority stakeholders of Mindanao, then the Mindanaons should decide for their own and not be dictated by outsiders.

Romualdo, 33 mayors grace OCD incident command system training Story and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO, Lifestyle Editor

CAMIGUIN Gov. Jesus Jurdin Romualdo and 33 mayors from all over Northern Mindanao heeded the call of the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) 10 to attend the Incident Command System briefing for local chief executives.

According to OCD 10 director Ana Cañeda, she was grateful for the presence of the governor and the mayors so they could understand better on why the training is needed in their respective localities.

The ICS briefing for LCEs was conducted last May 8 at Limketkai Luxe Hotel.

The Basic Incident Command System is a standard on-scene,

all hazard incident management concept.

It allows its users to adopt an integrated organizational structure to match the complexities and demands of single or multiple incidents without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries. It is a nonpermanent structure

that is only activated in response to disasters and emergencies.

“There is a need for an effective and efficient response management system because past lessons have shown the need for an organized on-scene response mechanism during disasters and calamities as mandated by RA 10121 otherwise known as The Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010 and its Implementing Rules and Guidelines.

ICS have been proven to be effective in managing wide range of emergencies and disasters,” said Cañeda.

It was learned that a National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) memorandum circular authorizes the use of ICS as an on-scene Disaster Response and

Management Mechanism under the Philippine DRRM system. Executive Order No. 82 signed

by President Aquino likewise advocates the use of Incident Command System. And OCD is the agency tasked to implement ICS training to help capacitate local government units and other agencies in dealing with emergencies and disaster that may occur in their respective areas of responsibilities.

At the end of the course, the participants were able to enhance understanding of the

Incident Command System as a vital tool for effective disaster response, provide an overview of ICS, its background, concepts, principles and features, capabilities, organization, facilities and common

terminologies and; demonstrate knowledge on basic ICS functions through exercise and class discussion context.

Cañeda said that OCD 10 has scheduled this year more ICS trainings in other localities.

Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) member SUSAN LAGBAS fires her gun as ceremonial shoot for the 2nd Gov. Bambi Cup held last Friday in KAPSAI PNP Firing Range in Tawan-tawan, Initao, Misamis Oriental. Lagbas’ husband Roldan was killed in a bombing in 2013 at Limketkai Center. The suspects in the incident remain free.
