Davao Light eyes add’l 130 megawatts power supply for 2016 DAVAO City -- Reeling from a tight power supply Davao Light and Power Company (DLPC) is eyeing additional 130 megawatts this 2016 from new power sources. Ross Luga DLPC Corporate Communications Officer identified these sources as the Western Mindanao Power

Corporation which they have contracted 18 Megawatts, San Miguel Consolidated Power Corporation 80 Megawatts, Southern Philippine Power Corporation- 32 Megawatts. The WMPC which is a diesel plant in Zamboanga City is already supplying 18 MW just this month to

Davao Light. The San Miguel coal-fired plant in Malita is expected to go online by July and the SPPC by April. Luga said they are still in the negotiation stage for the contracted supply. DLPC is feeling the crunch as the 150-MW unit 2 of the Therma South Power

Plant has been shut down for preventive maintenance. It supplies about 50 MW of contracted power to DLPC. The situation has forced DLPC to implement 3-hour rotational brownouts from January 23 to January 30. Luga said that aside from the 50 MW loss from the

shutting down of unit 2 of TSI, contracted power from hydropower sources like the National Power Corporation- PSALM and Hedcor has been greatly reduced due to El Nino. NPC PSALM which has a contracted supply of 150 MW is only supplying at

most 105 MW while Hedcor is only supplying 39 MW from its 52 MW contracted supply. Current average demand in 2015 in the DLPC areas has been at 340 MW per day. Total power supply has been at 233 MW. (PIA/RG Alama)

PROVINCE OF DAVAO ORIENTAL-- Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Proceso J. Alcala lauded Davao Oriental’s ‘champion’ performance in agriculture during his visit here last January 19, 2016, citing the province’s production increases in almost all segments of the agriculture sector. Highlighting its rice production, Alcala congratulated Davao Oriental for surpassing the national level’s rice sufficiency performance. Alcala said that while

the country hit an increase of 16 percent in its rice sufficiency from 81 percent at the start of President Aquino’s administration to 97 percent in 2015, Davao Oriental achieved a substantial increase of 26 percent in its rice sufficiency performance from 42 percent during the first term of Gov. Corazon Malanyaon to 68 percent last year. “Davao Oriental’s increment on rice sufficiency is almost double that of the national level,” he said. To sustain such feat, Secretary Alcala, during

his visit, turned over P47.5 million worth of implemented agriculture projects and services under the Agri-Pinoy Program dubbed as the “overall strategic framework of DA in rolling out its programs and services from 2011 to 2016 and beyond.”He also distributed and raffled off about P1 million worth of farm implements, livestock supplies and hybrid rice seeds. Among the projects turned over to the different farmers’ organizations were farming equipment

such as corn mills, farm tractors, floating tillers, and open source pumps, among others. Certificates of turnover were also distributed for the completion of Tablea Processing Building, community nursery, rain shelter, andconcreting of farm-tomarket roads, among many others. With an audience of about 2,000 farmers, Alcala recognized the significant contribution of Davao Orientalin the national government’s bid to increase the country’s rice production through the success-

ful implementation of the big-ticket Cateel Irrigation Project (CIP) which now serves about 1,600 – 2,000 hectares of rice fields in 11 villages in Cateel town, thus, boosting rice production and food security in the area. Soon to be fully-operational, the irrigation system will enable the province to achieve a 100 percent rice sufficiency level. He said projects like this will further encourage the expansion of rice plantations in order to boost domestic supply and reduce reliance on imports of rice.

Alcala further cited the Provincial Government’s efforts in the rehabilitation of the areas affected by typhoon Pablo – particularly the implementation of the Hot ‘Pablo’ Chili Project– that benefited many farmers and small entrepreneurs in the areas of Boston, Cateel and Baganga. Alcala said this project has been strongly promoted by President Aquino because of its high profitability and climate resiliency. Meanwhile, Alcala also recognized Davao Oriental’s achievement in its efforts in stamping out poverty which successfully resulted to the exclusion of the province among the poorest provinces in the country. Based on reports from the National Statistical Coordination Board, Davao Oriental pulled the largest drop of 6.5 percentage point in poverty incidence from 42.7% in 2007 to 37.8% in 2012--the highest reduction in poverty incidence among the provinces in

Pension increase must have certain funding source - SSS NorMin CAGAYAN de Oro City -The Social Security System (SSS) would require additional funds if increase be implemented to its pensioners. This was stressed by Atty. Edwin Alo, assistant VicePresident of SSS Northern Mindanao during Lambo Dyes, a radio program of Philippine Information Agency (PIA) at DXIM Radyo ng Bayan on 22 January 2016 concerning the vetoed increase of P2,000 for SSS pensioners. “There is a required funding of P4.3 billion per month

and in 2016 we need P56 billion additional fund. SSS has a current asset of P440 billion plus, but due to this kind of increase, by 2017 the SSS fund is projected to become insufficient,” said Atty. Alo. This alarms the SSS that by 2028, financial support from the government amounting P130 billion per year will be demanded. This also puts the SSS fund at stake because SSS is only a contract between member and employer, no participation of government at all. Atty. Alo also revealed

Alagar died in a display of impeccable courage and gallantry in defense of the then makeshift military camp while fighting the insurgents in 1932, Balmaceda said. He said that Alagar was represented by daughter Henrietta Alagar Pascual and granddaughter Anna Felicia Alagar during the wreath laying ceremony.

towers destroyed since the bombing spate in 2015. T h e Nat i on a l Gr i d Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), the agency tasks to transmit electricity throughout Mindanao, said that the NGCP could no longer assure of a stable power supply during the midterm elections in May this year. The refusal of the landowners to allow the repair of downed towers has prompt-

ed the NGCP power grid to run at “zero” reserve. “The power situation in Mindanao is now very delicate,” the NGCP said. Rodriguez said that the bombing of the transmission towers in Mindanao continued unabated and “I wonder why until now no arrest is made and nobody has been charged in court.” Under Republic Act 9372, also known as the “Human Security Act,” the bombing of the transmission towers is an act punishable by law, Rodriguez said.

I am a Teacher

that if the increase will be granted to current pensioners without a funding plan, the succeeding pensioners may not be accommodated any further. “The fund is not only for current pensioners since there are still succeeding retirees. We are under obligation of the law to ensure that those who will reach the retirement age can still be secured with pension,” Atty. Alo added. The SSS fund mainly

comes from the contribution of the current members, fund reserve and Investment Earnings. To assure sustainability, the Investment Earnings is used for investing to multiply asset and reinvest again. However, if the reserved money for Investment earning will be tapped due to the demand increase of P2,000, the chance of gaining smaller return is possible. The SSS is not solely concerned of the fund life but its sufficiency

too, Atty. Alo remarked. Moreover, Atty. Alo guaranteed support from entire SSS to whatever the national leadership agrees on. “We are not against on the increases only if provided with certain funding source, whatever the ultimate decision is, we will immediately implement the decision from national leadership.” Meanwhile, the SSS in Region 10 remains in providing services to its members and

continue undertaking projects to afford convenience for its clients like relocating offices to strategic area, expanding their accommodation by means of technology through web services and soon penetrate electronic payment. Also, SSS caters services such as sickness, funeral, loans both salary and educational, disability and maternity which members may take advantage too. (Mariel B. Urdaneta/ JMOR/PIA10)

She said the Mamasapano debacle should be the last bloodshed to occur in her place which she described as having moved on. She said ARMM officials helped prevent the situation from getting out of hand. “I thank and appreciate those who condoled with the people of Mamasapano, those who offered help in cash and in kinds and those who continue to encourage

us to move forward amid diversity,” Utto said during the program. At the same time in Tukanalipao, families of SAF troopers from the Cordillera led by Vicente Gumuwang held an indigenous ritual in a cornfield in remembrance of their dead kin. Fourteen of the SAF troopers who died were natives of the Cordillera region. The ARMM held a medical and dental mission and a school feeding activity in Tukanalipao as part of the commemoration. Bai Intan Ampatuan,

ARMM regional planning head, said the Mamasapano incident had taught “all of us a lesson, that there was something wrong and that it should never happen again.” Meanwhile, Aga Khan, ARMM chair of the Commission on Human Rights, said they will soon come out with the results of a separate investigation [of the encounter]. “We are in the stage of deliberating together with the national CHR on what really happened,” he said.

CI-BASED ACTION RESEARCH: AN EXCITING EXERTION By Estormeo G. Serena

Is research easy or not? What makes it easy or difficult? Can you do the two things at the same time? Probably the answer is yes, but there could be one thing that will be compromised. To do research is not an easy thing to do. It needs concentration. It demands time, effort, analysis, and patience. When action research is included in the ranking for promotion, one thing that boggles my mind. How can I do it? I have main job to do which is teaching. I have ancillaries to work on and other related task as requested by my immediate supervisors. Do I need to be like superman again just to finish all the businesses that I have? The answer is, Yes, I will do it not just for the promotion, but I want to know the root-causes of the problem inside the class. I read an article about leadership and it says, to be a leader is to expose yourself of stressful job, and if you find solutions to the problems, then you are ready to mingle with people. After reading on that line, I think again, Can I do research while teaching at the same time? Some teachers said, “Lisud man ang research ui”, Kapoy mag research, kuti kaayo”, Unsa man gyuy format anang action research? Ga labad labad lang nas ulo”. Hay kadaghan pas akong

buluhaton sa eskwelahan, naa pa akong mga anak sa balay, wa nakoy anahon ana. Others also have positive views about action research, some said “Okay raman ang research basta kung gamay ra ug load daw makaresearch jud ta, pero ug tag unom or pito ka load tapos naa pay ancillaries, nah unsa lugar among mabuhat?” Ang among orientation is kato mang sa thesis format, wala pami makabalo sa CI-Based ka yang research coordinator ra ang natudluan pero ug if we are given a chance to attend training, makabuhat jud mi ui”. With the views and opinions of other teachers, I tried to do it though I never dream to become a researcher. I told myself, wala naman koy panahon ui, kapoy man, cge try lang gud, pag di makaya, undangon daw ipadayon next year, pero ug makaya, go, go go! With positive vides and motivation of my principal Ms. Evelyn Q. Sumanda and the help of my colleague Mr. Mark John Gabule with the pieces of advice of Mr. Joel Potane, I was able to present my paper and adjudged as Best Paper in the Division of Cagayan de Oro moving forward to the regional level. I know it is not an easy competition because the representatives are all first placers in their respective division plus the regional office trimmed down the participants from 14 to 10 up to 5. I felt mixed of emotions. The feeling

of excitement combined with confidence with selfesteem wrapped with intense shrivelling of my face every time the judges come nearer and neared until they ask questions. Nevertheless, I answered their queries and taken all the suggestions. Gladly, the announcement has come, our division, with five presenters won. When my name was called, all the tensions were released. Thank you Lord. All the sacrifices, sleepless nights, efforts and pains paid. I received the 3rd Prize in the entire Region X and from that moment, I told myself, sayon ra ang research, basta hatagan lang ug panahon ug dedikasyon. Sunod tuig magbuhat japon ko. Research is really fun. It gives us moment to think critically and explore related studies and literature. Research could definitely gives you more knowledge and it becomes self reflected since there is professional reflection and it solves problem as you need to find solutions. Thus, the leadership quotation proves that I can be a good leader since I solved problem. I’d like to publish the abstract of my action research with the title: Video Clip Integration in Classroom Discussion: Its Effect to the Retention and Mastery of the Concept ABSTRACT Congested curriculum in Regional Science High Schools is implemented. Thus, retention and mastery of the concept are the most

common problems of the students. These problems occur whenever students are bombarded with series of examinations, doing co and extra-curricular activities that are mixed. To retain and master the concept in language and literature is the main objective of this study. A descriptive method of research was used; data were collected and checked using the pre-intervention questionnaire, reporting rubrics assessment drawn, and the post-intervention survey questionnaire used in this study. Data were analyzed during the oneon-one interview before and after the intervention. The findings of the preintervention survey reveal that the respondents’ felt dismay since it is too student-centered and bookrelying type of learning. Intervention strategies (video clip integration in classroom discussion and teacher’s deepening) were introduced to them. The results of the study show that intervention changed their percentage scores in the second quarter. The study concluded that student’s exposure to technology, public speaking, teacher’s deepening of the concept and the integration of the video clip develop the language skills of students. It is recommended that the school and the teacher should establish and strengthen the use of technology and apply different teaching strategies to students and promote awareness on the new skills of technology.

Cris Diaz

since the issue on tax adjustments was aired and it seems that some personnel from that office still practice the “UNDER GROUND AND PALUSOT SYSTEM” …WHY????? It is because as per info Mr .Banez only acts as O.I.C , therefore he cannot have the power to reprimand ,suspend or transfer an erring employee. Busa ga ABOSAR nang mga empleeyado dana ,it was also heard that ga claim og Overtime Pay pero wala

nag over time…In fairness to Mr. Banez he’s just doing his job, but for these erring employees it’s a LIVELIHOOD… is the city treasurer’s office run by these so called ga LIVELIHOOD employees, grabe ciguro ang na regalo sa ila last Dec or this Jan??? TAX PAYERS BEWARE….Abangan…. Mark Cagayan De Oro City” Last week, an informant relayed to the Cynosure that Acting Cagayan De City Treasurer Glenn Banez has resigned and left City Hall. The information turned out to be a sting. Banez did not actually resign. He was all the time at the City Hall, but has requested someone to act in his behalf. Banez opted to stay in the sidelined while the issue of the preliminary injunction for their continued, albeit temporary stay in office was deliberated at the Court of

The flaws of Filipino anti-Americanism would endure and seek a solution that would be best for the country not only in the immediate future, but in the ages to come. Heneral Luna’s pursuit of war against the Americans instead of compromise was shortsighted, and only meant to satisfy the demands of his pride. Think about it. After three hundred years of colonial rule, what makes the Filipino think that he is now fit to govern a country with seven thousand islands, with more than a hundred languages and tribes? It is already challenging enough to unify a country of the same heritage, history, and culture--as the United States faced during its Civil War-how much more so would it be challenging for a country so divided by peoples? New states, failed states, even developing states take

years and years to get [back up] on its feet to become a fully established, sovereign society with a responsible, functioning government. Case in point: how many years has it been since the Bosnian War ended? Twenty two, and it still has the support of EU and NATO in government and reconciliation activities. Establishing a strong,

in 2015 is exactly the same reason why it did not want the public to know the truth about the murder of then Sen. Benigno Aquino Jr.? -oooIS PNOY AFRAID OF THE MAMASAPANO TRUTH? If President Aquino found it in his heart to finally recognize the heroism of the 44 policemen by giving them, even if grudgingly and belatedly, presidential awards the other day, why would he and his spin doctors refuse a new investigation on the Mamasapano massacre that would bring out the truth on the matter? Are they afraid of the truth? Will the truth about the murder of the 44 be unfavorable to Aquino?

-oooGOD’S WRATH OVER THE BUREAU OF CUSTOMS: So, even the Japanese emperor and empress, the king and queen of Japan, were victimized by corrupt personnel of the Bureau of Customs? This could not have been because of a mere mistake. It is more like an intentional act to rummage through the package intended for the royal couple to see if there is something that can be taken home by the customs examiner. When will God’s wrath come down upon the greedy and the corrupt? -oooPERSONS TO BE MARRIED MUST BE PRESENT

Appeals (CA) Special 22nd Division here. There were insinuations that Banez left City “Mayor” Oscar Moreno for good. Some even mused that acting City Treasurer Banez who, together with Moreno, were ordered dismissed by the Ombudsman left City Hall on the advice of his contacts in Manila. There were reports that the Ombudsman was sustaining the dismissal order of “Mayor” Moreno and Banez. All these information turned out to be part of “disinformation,” which the Cynosure regrets and apologizes.. Nonet heless, w here did Banez go?

legitimate sovereign government takes time. This is a lesson that has shaped modern-day state building. A newborn state, with little experience in governing independently cannot stand alone. It needs political guidance and military support. The past decades have borne witness to the international community’s nation-building efforts such as in Kosovo, East Timor and South Sudan. And while the road has not necessarily been easy, these recently liberated countries are consistently moving toward progress. Were these peoples any less patriotic by accepting the support of UNTAET, NATO, the EU, among other international entities?

Marcos: Mindanao peace process should continue Your Mindanao-wide Community Newspaper

ZAMBOANGA City –Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the peace process should continue for the progress of Mindanao. “The peace process has to continue. We have to find a true and lasting peace,” Marcos said in a press conference here. Marcos said the potentials of Mindanao can be fully developed once a true and lasting peace is in place. Mindanao has several potentials not only in terms of natural resources but to include tourism, agriculture and others.

However, the development of these potentials is hindered by the volatile peace and order situation of Mindanao. “We can do all of the things that we have always wanted to do for Mindanao such as to develop the infrastructures,” Marcos explained once there is a lasting peace. “How many times we have heard Mindanao is the land of promise, the land of great potentials. Mapapakinabangan na natin yung potentials kasi wala ng gyera, wala ng gulo.”

Discipline for Learning By Benjamin D. Berenguel Jr.

Classroom activities involve the students and the mentor. The students are to learn and the mentor is to teach. Give and take operations are done for enhancement. However, it has been observed that negative results sometimes happened in the teachinglearning process in spite of the preparation made by the teacher, because of the lack of something that controls an individual in everything he does. Discipline! Obviously, some boys and girls of the present generation consider discipline as an iron hand that forbids them from doing things of pleasure. They don’t want to obey disciplinary measures for their negative behavior at home or at school. They believe that discipline deprives them from exercising their freedom as youths of today.

The youths’ negative concept of discipline resulted to their unbecoming personalities both physical and mental, and offers them low ratings in academics. On the other hand, contrary to those who ignored discipline, there are those who accept the strict ways of executing classroom activities. Such act of molding today’s young people is taken by some as a strong pillar for their success in the future. Rather than an “Iron Hand”, they believe that discipline is a guiding hand which will lead them to the right path of life, and will surely make them successful citizens in the coming years. Teachers and parents might vary in their methods of imposing discipline, but they aim in one goal which is to produce a valued and fruitful individual.

Farm in Sibagat town turned into coliseum-size open pit mining area By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN

SAN FRANCISCO, Agusan del Sur--- Unabated open pit mining in a remote village in Sibagat town has destroyed some 20 hectares of farmlands virtually turning the area

into a huge crater the size of a coliseum. This prompted Gov. Adolph Edward Plaza to issue a Cease and Desist Order against the operator Romelito Palantang after he learned that the illegal mining activities in Tabon-

Tabon village have already used five backhoes and other water pumping equipment to extract gold in the area. Ricardo Caldeo, Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer of the provincial government, said the intensive

mining operation without letup for three months has turned the once coconut farm into a crater with a radius of 50 meters and depth of 20 meters. Caldeo said another smaller pit was also discovered but these are just being explored since this was abandoned by small-scale miners a few years back. Police authorities who accompanied local officials led by Plaza arrested Palantang and 20 other mining workers after they found out that Palantang, a church pastor, only holds a sand and gravel quarrying permit from the provincial government. Aside from backhoes, the raiding team confiscated two heavy duty tilling pans with complete accessories, plastic pipes, improvised screening devices, six units vehicle engines used as improvised water pumps and 20 regular water pumps. Investigators are looking into deeper probe if there are Chinese financiers in

Caldeo said the governor

wanted village officials to be questioned in the investigation as to why they kept mum on the illegal mining activities when the heavy equipment have already passed by the barangay roads.

Restraining Order (TRO). The Supreme Court has yet to rule on Guialani petition. Should the Supreme Court uphold the petition for the prohibition of the temporary restraining order, all the resolutions, including the preliminary injunction, issued by the CA would be rendered null and void. Anyway, where did Banez go? Another informant relayed that Banez reportedly went to Davao to settle with the Ombudsman there. Banez was reportedly “negotiating” for the reversal of the Ombudsman dismissal order. Whether the information is true, many alleged that any negotiation with the graft court would entail a “lot of money.” Of course, with a meager pay, money is irresistible to the lowly paid state worker. However, the Cynosure refused to believe that the Ombudsman could be bribed into reversing its earlier decision. The credibility of the Ombudsman is an institution that as a graft court, the ordinary Filipino consider it the only way to fight against corrupt and powerful public servants. -0- Send comments/reactions: crisgurdian@yahoo. com

She cited the department’s considerable success in strengthening and capacitating the local governments by recognizing their efforts in agricultural development. “You give premium to LGU accomplishment and performance. You capacitate and give recognitions and rewards,” she said, noting this positive reinforcement urges farmers to exert more efforts on their trade. In addition, she also listed several policies and programs of the department that made significant contributions in boosting local agricultural production. These include DA’s shelling out of counterpart funds to big-ticket projects and provision of planting implements and materials for farmers through the

But they had the courage and the humility to admit a need for support and accept international partnership. Our revered patriots’ nationalistic fervor led us down a rocky path with a government [to this day] still unstable and lacking a backbone. In contrast to the examples of Kosovo and East Timor, how many years has it been since Afghanistan and Iraq collapsed? Fourteen, twelve? And when the people insisted on the removal of its American “colonizers”, how quickly did the situation regress? How quickly was it exploited by armed factions in the region? Not long. The Afghans and Iraqis should have learned from Philippine history where not long after the Americans were shooed away, the Philippines was yet again easily invaded and exploited by a different people in World War II. Furthermore, why demonize the Americans as colonialists? Granted, imperialism was the norm in

those days but the United States, in more than a hundred years after its birth, has done nothing colonial nor imperialistic to make Filipinos believe that they are imperialists. Americans have not tried to invade, nor oppress a people. All their land, they bought. After the Spanish-American War, the United States bought the Philippines from Spain for twenty million dollars because of the belief that “only through American occupation...is the idea of a free, self-governing, and united Philippine commonwealth at all conceivable.” Americans were careful to deviate from the norms of Europe and stick to the principles of the American forefathers, that is, to be “Jefferson’s beacon to the world,” to defend and not attack. Jacob Schurman, the chairman of the First Philippine Commission, clarifies the U.S.’s purpose in its annexation of the Philippines: “The welfare of the Filipinos coincides with the dictates of national honour in forbidding our abandonment of the archipelago. We cannot from any point of view escape the responsibilities of government which our sovereignty entails; and the commission is strongly persuaded that the performance of our national duty will prove the greatest blessing to the peoples of the Philippine Islands.” To echo its primary purpose of tutelage, guidance, and educating Filipinos for self-rule and sovereignty, the U.S. even implemented economic reform programs to help establish the economy; at the same time, through American missionaries, the U.S. also introduced American education, Protestantism and the concepts of democracy and democratic institutions to the Filipinos, where Filipinos were also encouraged to participate in the grassroots level (only to gradually climb up to bigger responsibilities later). Filipinos need to understand the core of United States foreign policy. It is often torn by two things. One, by its non-interventionist, isolationist nature that prefers to keep its resources to itself; and two, by the benevolent, missionarylike, moral obligation to defend the rights of the oppressed beyond its borders and maintain international order as a world superpower. The Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement is a product of the latter--a strategic posturing necessary for both parties to contain a more and more aggressive China. It does not serve American interests only, but even more so, it serves the interests of the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea and Japan. It is normal for a country to be belligerent to foreign powers. But in this day and age, in the face of imminent threat, survival is dependent on alliances. And who else can be a better ally than the

United States--a country with the most powerful military with no imperialistic aspirations?

marriage contract later? Is the marriage in this case valid? The answer is no, this is not going to be a valid marriage, for Art. 6 of the Family Code of the Philippines says the parties to a marriage must both be present during the ceremony. Here is a portion of what Art. 6 says: “No prescribed form or religious rite for the solemnization of the marriage is required. It shall be necessary, however, for the contracting parties to appear personally before the solemnizing officer and declare in the presence of not less than two witnesses of legal age that they take each other as husband and wife…” What is important, according to the law, is the personal declaration of the man and woman to be married that they are taking each other as husband and wife, which declaration must be made before the solemnizing officer, in the presence of not less than two witnesses who must also be of legal ages. -oooTHE PROBLEM OF BEING RICH: The rich among us, especially those of foreign descent, appear to be lording it over Filipinos on many aspects of life---money, power, perks and privileges, and even good food and good accommodations. The rich have become the envy of many of our countrymen who wallow in poverty and great want, who cannot even afford to eat three times a day. But there is a downside to being rich. Let us listen to what have been written about rich people from long time ago, giving comfort to those who are poor: “Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. “Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter…” So, despair not, you who are poor! -oooPLEASE WATCH OR LISTEN: “Tambalang Batas at Somintac”, a news-commentary radio program, aired at DZEC 1062 kHz and other Radyo Agila provincial stations, at http://www.eaglebroadcasting.net/radyoagila and at www.youtube.com (type DZEC Radyo Agila

mining activities in the area. A concerned lumad resident has reported the illegitimate mining activities in the area prompting provincial officials to initiate the surprise raid. Some residents have confided to the team that there have been Chinese investors who frequented the area at the height of intensive mining operations. They were believed to have brought the backhoes and other equipment. Sibagat Mayor Thelma Lamanilao however explained that residents in the village could not possibly saw the mining paraphernalia passing by their place since these were slipped through another way from Taligaman village in Butuan City. Lamanilao told local mediamen that she had already questioned Palantang a few months back after she received reports that he already used three backhoes when they were only allowed one for the quarrying activities. Palantang is the permittee for the sand and gravel operation in the area.

It also made clear that precautionary measures are taken into consideration during the MDA. Proper assessment on the history and present health condition of the target age group per identified disease is strongly advised before and during administration, it added. DOH-13 Director III Cesar Cassion said “These parasites are culprits of the nutritional impairment, retarded growth and physical development of our children, and limit their cognitive and educational advancement. Although our children are mostly affected, adults are prone to these infections especially those who are living in endemic areas. This periodic drug treatment will explicitly combat the health impact brought about by these parasites.”
