SAN LUIS, Agusan del Sur -Communist rebels on Tuesday afternoon took a surprise move to free three Army soldiers and a militiaman in what was supposed to be an event in a remote village of Balit here where they were set to free two “prisoners of war” held captive for a month.

The New People’s Army had already issued the release order of Private First Class Diven Tawide and Private First Class Glenn Austria of the 23rd Infantry Battalion when Ka Omar Ibarra, custodial officer of the captives, surprised the crowd to announce that another soldier and a paramilitary cadre were to be released at the same time.

Corporal Jawad Awadi and militiaman Roy Perez, who were clad in civilian clothes, were roaming around the village when they were caught by the NPA rebels securing the vicinity of the venue. Ibarra said they decided to free Awadi and Perez in the last minute just as the signing of document for the

Jarales posts a close fight In Mis.Or.’s vice gub race

JARALES

EL SALVADOR CITY, MISAMIS ORIENTAL – Thousands of supporters of Congressman Peter Unabia in the First District of Misamis Oriental has openly pledged full support to the Vice Gubernatorial candidacy of Fermin Jarales.

Due to this Jarales is now pictured in a close fight

against the other candidates.

Political analysts said that Jarales has now a chance of winning vice governor’s seat of the Province of Misamis Oriental, considering that Congressman Unabia has strongly endorsed the candidacy of Jarales even if he is an independent candidate.

Jarales, it was learned, was recently adopted by the Liberal Party (LP) as their official candidate in the province.

It can be recalled that gubernatorial candidate Julio Uy has shifted his support to Grace Poe instead of Mar Roxas dropping the leadership of congressman Unabia like a hot potato, and all the LP mayoralty bets with Uy has left LP to join NUP’s Grace Poe.

The LP political group of Unabia tried to control the damage done by NUP gubernatorial bet Julio Uy. It was reported that the Unabia faction has reorganized the LP in the province and openly announced that the LP has no gubernatorial candidate except Fermin Jarales for vice governor.

Jarales’ candidacy has also gained support from women voters and other civil society groups who believe on his platform of government of government. In the 2nd district of Misamis Oriental, Jarales’ bid for the vice gubernatorial post is rising high against PDP’s Joey Pelaez.

ALLAN M. MEDIANTE Editor-in-Chief

IN spite of the last ditch effort of the administration to discredit Presidential aspirant Rodrigo Duterte, the latest survey showed that Duterte remains in the top.

The fear that the Cynosure has written in the past about the administration’s sinister plot to rig the election might come forth.

The fear boils down to the “mind conditioning” that the administration has employed, albeit hastily by coming out a survey result that Mar Roxas has attained a statistical tie with Grace Poe. Thus, the administration is sending a message that Roxas is now pretty close to Duterte.

Who believes in the ABSCBN survey when the people know that this television network is suspected to be “acting short” of a propaganda network of the incumbent administration?

Notwithstanding, the result of the alleged ABS-CBN survey was released a few days after the “Trillanes” expose about Duterte’s alleged “billions in bank account”?

Are these issues related and timed to create a “shocking” reactions among the

to find some “justifiable” moves that could appease the Filipino voters once the administration’s presidential candidate wins.

Actually, the “think tanks” are not interested in any administration candidates other than the Presidential candidate. “Get the head, we will construct the body,” so to speak. That is the reason why the Liberal Party, the administration political party, would do whatever it takes – come high heaven and hell to have Roxas win the presidential race. Is there a fraudulent election coming?

At the local level, the same thing is happening. For instance, in Cagayan De Oro City, a survey conducted by the Xavier University suddenly had the incumbent City Mayor Oscar Moreno leads the survey. When the result of the XU survey was announced on air, hundreds of listeners angrily reacted, describing the Xavier University a sham!

One could not blame the residents of losing faith with Xavier University, a Jesuitrun university, whose Bishops and priests are known

THINK a minute.

Crabs are very interesting creatures. If you put several of them in a bucket, the moment one of them starts crawling out of the bucket, the other crabs will pull him back down. So not one of the crabs ever succeeds in getting out. They just keep stopping each other from climbing higher than the rest of them.

We humans are perhaps more like crabs than we think. We see a good thing the minute someone else sees it first! “We try to get even with our enemies, and ahead of our friends.” But we need to realize that “when we’re green with envy, we’re ripe for problems.”

Whether we admit it or not, most of us want other people to be just a little less successful than we are.

Friends are always happy about your success, just as long as you’re not more successful than they are!

But one of the first secrets to success is not to compare your life with other’s. It’s strange that many of us seem to know how to live everybody else’s lives but our own. Yet what happens in someone else’s life has nothing to do with ours.

Filipino voters? That out of disbelief and consternation, the Filipino voters would ultimately swing to Mar Roxas? Pitiful!

Did anybody wonders why Trillanes would hit a candidate that does not threaten his candidacy as Vice President? It would be a different story had Trillanes run for the presidency.

Anyway, what does a “statistically ties” result means in the ABS-CBN survey? The Cynosure has earlier figured out that the ABS-CBN survey was meant to “condition the mind” of the Filipino voters.

In other words, the questionable ABS-CBN survey would “justify” should a “massive fraud” is employed to favor the administration candidates on the day of election. It means that the Filipino voters would have no option, but to “unwillingly admit” that Roxas “wins” in the presidential race.

Two months ago, the administration’s political strategists have already perceived the irreversible victory of Duterte in an honest and fair election.

Thus, there was a scamper

Ruel V. Pelone

over and start investigating Duterte. He said Duterte and Inday Sara have millions in their bank accounts—and lately, Trillanes sued Duterte in the Ombudsman for the alleged “ghost employees.”

After the elections, Trillanes has all the pleasures of calling Duterte to appear before the Senate—and castigate “The Punisher.” What a good movie title indeed, “Now Showing: The Villain vs.

The Punisher, a face-off !”

Ahay.

But why is the “good senator” doing all these allegations against Duterte only now? Is this part of his rating game? Or, is he out to save somebody else.

I am not endorsing Duterte here. Someone says: See pelone, page A11

supporters of Moreno. In fact, Xavier University has lost credibility that the local voters considered the university’s survey as another kind of “mind conditioning,” which many feared would lead to a fraudulent election.

Anyway, whatever the Filipino voters are thinking now, it is time for all to be vigilant when the E-Day comes on Monday. Let us fight and protect our votes and detest the corrupt political leaders. Voting against known corrupt political leaders is one of the lethal weapons available to all of us. -0- Send comments/ reactions: crisguardian@ yahoo.com

HOW can an eye be good or bad? It all comes down to our perception and how we interpret what we see.

It’s easy to jump to conclusions that someone has done us wrong when it rubs on our own insecurities. But in reality, they were innocent. Our eye perceived incorrectly because of our lack of understanding. How you see reality determines whether you see the light. Think you may have a bad eye? If we catch ourselves in the act of bad perception, immediately find something positive. Over time we can stop the habit of seeing with a

INC picks Fortun, Lagnada its bets for May 9 elections

By PAT SAMONTE Caraga Regional Editor

BUTUAN CITY – The influential Iglesia ni Cristo has chosen incumbent Congressman Lawrence “Law” Fortun and mayoral candidate Engr. Ronnie Vicente Lagnada for the May 9, 2016 elections.

Based on unassailable information, the blockvoting religious organization

with some 10,000-12,000 voting population here, has thrown support to Fortun and Lagnada of the Bando Lawig Katawhan and Team RCL for their track record of service to the Butuanons and Agusanons.

Fortun is seeking reelection as Agusan del Norte First District representative against lawyer Roan Libarios. The incumbent

congressman won over Libarios in their first electoral contest in 2013 that saw Fortun dominate by a margin of 42,000 votes to set a record in Butuan City and Las Nieves town’s electoral history. Fortun beat his rival in 85 of this city’s 86 barangays.

Fortun has been known for integrity, honesty, transparency , accountability,

and good governance since he became a city councilor in 2007. His humility has remained, a quality that has made him well-loved by his constituents. His accomplishments as a lawmaker included hundreds of legislative measures he authored and co-authored as well as P2.28 billion infrastructure projects in 2015 and Pl billion roads and

bridges projects in 2014 already implemented aside from school buildings and classrooms distributed in his district’s barangays.

The benefits of senior high school

By FLORENCIA G. PARADILLO Kimanait National High School Pangantucan, Bukidnon

IN June this year marks the official start of the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 as mandated under Republic Act 10533, commonly known as the K-to-12 program.

The Implementing Rules and Regulation (IRR) crafted on September 4, 2013 provides: “Section 6. Enhanced Basic Education Program.

For purposes of this IRR and pursuant to Section 4 of the Act, the enhanced basic education program encompasses at least one (1) year of kindergarten education, six (6) years of elementary education, and six (6) years of secondary education, in that sequence. Secondary education includes four (4) years of junior high school and two (2) years of senior high school education. The enhanced basic education program may likewise be delivered through the alternative learning system.”

But prior to the full implementation of the K-to12 program this year, the Department of Education (DepEd) started modeling the Senior High School (SHS) in 2012 involving 54 schools nationwide. Grade 10 completers were made to choose from any of the four main tracks-- Academic, Technical-Vocational, Sports, and Arts and Design.

Below are the statements made by the students who are the pioneering graduates of the SHS as posted by the

education department on its website, dated July 14, 2014: “Dahil sa Senior High School, nagkaroon kami ng background sa mga pinagaaralan na namin ngayon sa college,” said Eunilicia Joy Maniquis, an SHS graduate of Don Alejandro E. Roces Science and Technology HS. She opted to pursue higher education and is now a Food Technology Major in Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST).

“May mga bagay sa SHS na nakatulong para madagdagan ang confidence ko, kaya tingin ko ready na ako ngayon sa college,” she added.

Meanwhile, Richard Neil Dizon, an automotive service graduate of the same school, is now handling their family business of automotive repairs. “Malaking tulong ang kurso ko sa Senior High School dahil kaya nang iwan ng tatay ko sakin ang negosyo at kaya ko nang humarap sa mga customer namin,” he said.

Richard shared his reaction upon learning about the SHS Program and said, “Noong narinig ko yung SHS, naisip ko na ito na ang pagkakataon kong makapag-aral ng libre.

Ang kailangan lang namin gawin ay pumasok, matuto, at i-apply ang aming mga

natutunan.”

In Leyte, Merlinda Muana was part of the 100 SHS graduates who specialized in welding and. “Noong nalaman ko na mayroong libreng edukasyon na makakatulong sa mas madaling paghahanap ng trabaho, kinuha ko na agad,” she tearfully explained.

“The Senior High School Program lets our learners choose the appropriate tracks they see fit for them.

It gives them the opportunity to choose their own tracks depending on their life plans,” said Education Secretary Br. Armin Luistro FSC. Br. Luistro added that after graduating from SHS, the learners will be equipped to either continue with higher education or immediately be included in the work force.

DA-RFO-10 Regional Director Lealyn A. Ramos (left above) emphasized that the Quick Response Fund that will be distributed to the provinces is intended to purchase seeds, drugs and biologics and pumps and engines for the recovery and rehabilitation of crops and livestock affected by El Niño.

DA-10 provides assistance to PLGUs regionwide The Department of Agriculture - Regional Field Office 10 (DA-RFO 10) is ready to distribute assistance to the five provinces of Northern Mindanao affected by the El Niño phenomenon.

Regional Director Lealyn A. Ramos of DARFO 10 announced that the Quick Response Fund (QRF) amounting to Php 177 million will be allocated to the provincial government through the Provincial Agriculture’s Office (PAO) of their respective provinces. She added that the distribution will be based on the validated damage reports received by DA submitted by the municipalities through the PAO. “The funds will be downloaded to the provincial government, who, in turn, will allocate the assistance to the municipalities under their respective provinces. The local government units (LGUs) are given the authority to do the pro-

curement process of the seeds for rice, corn and vegetables and pump and engines for distribution.

However, the pumps and engines are given only to farmer associations or to LGUs as common service facility, wherein these could be borrowed by group of farmers based on priority needs. In addition, an LGU has to liquidate the funds they will receive based on the usual accounting and auditing rules not later than August 2016,” Ramos explained.

The province of Bukidnon will receive around Php 129 million (Php 128,949,273.00), Lanao del Norte and Iligan City with Php 24.1 million (Php 24,121,552.00) and Php 2.1 million (Php 2,109,724.00), respectively.

Aside from the DA funds downloaded to the PLGUs, Ramos further clarified that the affected farmers can also avail assistance from the LGUs through their calamity fund. She also noted that the provincial governments are now on the process of determining the amount intended for recovery and rehabilitation of crops and livestock in their respective provinces that would be distributed to the affected municipalities.

As of this writing, the provinces of Bukidnon, Lanao del Norte and Camiguin have already declared their areas under the state of calamity.

The provinces of MisOr and MisOcc are underway of declaring their

province under the state of calamity.

The DA has already set in place 58 units water pump and engines with complete accessories, of which 16 units were given to the province of Bukidnon, 2 for Camiguin, 16 for Lanao del Norte, 13 for MisOcc and 11 units for MisOr. In addition, 71 units are now on procurement stage which will be distributed to the following provinces: 17 for Bukidnon, 3 for Camiguin, 18 for Lanao del Norte, 18 for MisOcc and 15 for MisOr.

The significance of study habits

By Mythel Joy M. Nicor

When it comes to forming study habit it’s challenging, considering the outpouring source of diversions. Nevertheless, if one realizes the value of learning, it would not be as easier said than done as it seems. What one needs are strong resolve, established purpose, and unshakable perseverance.

Studies show that a good study habit has a significant effect on the academic performance of students.

Frank Pogue (2000) did a research project to find out why students fail. His study suggests that most students fail because they do not know how to study.

So why is it practical for students to have study habit?

It is so important because not only will it serve as their means to be able to get

grades in school, but it also encourages one to develop discipline and self control which is something that will prove to be essential when they go out and pursue their respective careers.

They key to becoming a successful student is learning how to study smarter, not harder. This becomes more and truer as you advance in your education. An hour or two of studying a day is usually sufficient to make it through high school with satisfactory grades, but when college arrives, there aren’t enough hours in the

day to get all your studying in if you don’t know how to study smarter.

While some students are able to breeze through school with minimal effort, this is the exception. The vast majority of successful students achieve their suc-

cess by developing and applying effective study habits.

The following are the top 10 study habits employed by highly successful students.

So if you want to become a successful students, don’t get discouraged, don’t give up, just work to develop each of the study habits below and you’ll see your grades go up,

your knowledge increase, and your ability to learn and assimilate information improve. 1.) Don’t attempt to cram all you’re studying into one session. 2.) Plan when you’re going to study.

3.) Study at the same time.

4.) Each study time should have a specific goal. 5.)

Never procrastinate your

planned study session. 6) Start with difficult subject first. 7.) Always review your notes before starting an assignment. 8.) Make sure you’re not distracted while you’re studying 9.)

Use groups study effectively.

10.) Review your notes, schoolwork and other class materials over the weekend.

Encourage anyone to become positive The G ospe l of J es u s C h r i st ( M a y 5 , 2016-Thursday) Matthew 1:18-24” Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son,

and thou shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Do you protect someone under your care? Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him

his wife: This gospel reminds us about the courage and bravery of Joseph to take the great responsibility as the “El Salvador” of Mary from shamefulness. Joseph protected Jesus and his wife Mary from the hands of the Assassins. This is supposedly imitated by all husbands to die for the welfare of his family. Do not give up your love ones to any one even death is the “consequence” of doing it. Die for what is right because at the end, heaven will be your reward. God trust

you so much for giving you someone under your care and protection. He expects you to love this person no matter what. He wants you to push this person for him to fulfill his divine assignments on this earth. He believes on your capacity to make a big difference to somebody else.

It is not an accident for having someone in your life. They are sent by God for a reason.

You are responsible for their welfare and benefits. You are accountable for their better future. You are not born for

Biblical reflection

yourself only but for others.

You are born to do something great for the sake of others.

You have an assignment to produce more fruits on this earth. You are born to save the situation of others like Joseph. You are born to ensure anyone to finish his assignment. Encourage anyone to become positive by showing your supports to them. Be faithful in your assignment: Printing paid by: Edith Ranoa, PhDMajor Tony Jordan and Crespina Ranoa - Bobong

KIMBERLITE PAWNSHOP MALAYBALAY BRANCH

Kimberlite Pawnshop will be having an AUCTION SALE on all items that expired on March 2016:

Cagayan de Oro City -- In in its aim to strengthen public private relations and widen support to community development, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) awards Certificate of Accreditation to UNIFRUTTI Foundation Inc., after having satisfactorily complied with the qualification requirements of a legitimate Civil Society Organization (CSO) pursuant to the Joint Resolution of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and Commission on Audit (COA) entitled “Guidelines for Accreditation of CSOs as Implementing Entities of Government or Public Funds”. The accreditation covers the Livelihood and Community Development for Indigenous People for three years from issuance, unless suspended or revoked prior to its expiration.

The UNIFRUTTI Foundation Inc. (UFI) is the corporate social responsibility arm of the Unifrutti Group Philippines, a Mindanao based conglomeration of agricultural operations prim banana, which started around the Davao Region in 1992, and gradually expanded into Bukidnon, Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur. Unifrutti has the distinction of being able to operate in culturally sensitive areas (IP communities) as well as in conflict zones like Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur in ARMM, and even in places where the NPA’s are actively operating. The foundation also offers scholar-

ship and livelihood programs and support environmental and peace related programs.

“UFI considers itself very privileged to be qualified by

the DSWD as a legitimate civil society organization, as an implementing agency of government or public fund.

It commits to wholeheartedly

support the DSWD’s Livelihood and Community Development for Indigenous People”, says Eduardo Bullecer, President and Director of UFI.

‘Miniature Dreams’

Every great achievement starts from a simple plan that springs from a certain need, which leads to a relevant solution.

Community volunteers in Barangay Mabahin, Cortes, Surigao del Sur show off their miniature Day Care Center design during the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan – Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS) Infrastructure Training.

Project Implementation

Team (PIT) and Monitoring and Inspection Team (MIT) volunteers shared their talents and ideas as they come up with the design for their community sub-project.

The villagers unanimously chose to propose the said sub-project for the children of Purok 8, which is predominantly composed of Mamanwa families. The children in the said Purok prefer not to go to the regular Day Care Center because the other children bully them,

calling them names and making fun of them.

Because of this matter, members of the other Puroks decided to consider the needs of Purok 8, choosing to propose the Day Care Center for the IP community. This great achievement is an unselfish act of kindness from the rest of the community to the Mamanwa families in Mabahin. ###(MARKO DAVEY D. REYES/Social Marketing Unit/DSWD Field Office Caraga)

“It is only when you exercise your right to choose that you can also exercise your right to change.” If you ask me, there is no such thing as “wrong decision” but there is always what other people call, “blessing in disguise.”

All I want is that, let us all respect whoever becomes the President of the Republic of the Philippines.

Let us let the people choose and participate in a political exercise that is, clean, honest and peaceful.

Enough is enough Mr. Trillanes. Do your best as senator, make laws that will help curb, if not eliminate corruption.

“We are facing a planetary emergency. Now more than ever, we need leaders who are pro-people and proenvironment, not pro-coal and pro-climate change,” said the prelate.

‘Burden for future generations’ The prelate, along with local fisher folk and other social movements, are currently leading a fight against the building of a 600-megawatt coal plant in the city’s Pinamucan Ibaba village.

“It is immoral to burden future generations with pollution and the cost of mistaken energy choices made today. It is time to

end the age of coal,” he said.

The anti-coal march highlighted a national campaign called “Piglas Batangas! Piglas Pilipinas!” symbolized by the struggle against the proposed project of JG Summit Holdings.

The lo cal anti-coal groups were joined by other coal-affected communities from Quezon and other parts of the country, as well as people’s movements and civil society groups from Metro Manila and other provinces in Southern Luzon.

“Piglas is a call for the incoming president and other new government officials to scrap the Pinamucan coal plant and the other 26 proposed coal plants currently in the pipeline. It is also a demand for the phase-out of the 19 existing coal plants nationwide,” explained Ian Rivera, national coordinator of the Philippine Movement for Climate Justice.

Ruel Cabile, national coordinator of Aksyon Klima Pilipinas, said the next administration must review the current one’s commitment to reduce 70% of the country’s emissions by 2030.

“It must also demand climate finance from developed countries, as well as mobilize its own resources, so it can implement a swift and just transition to clean and renewable energy,” he added.

Mass actions worldwide The campaign is part of a worldwide movement and the first in Asia to join “Break Free from Fossil Fuels 2016”, a global wave of peaceful direct actions across 12 days and six continents. Mass actions are scheduled until May 15 in other countries, including Indonesia, Nigeria, Brazil, the United States, Germany, and Australia.

Other communities will also be holding solidarity events in Cebu and Calaca, Batangas, which hosts the oldest coal plant in the country, among other areas.

“Piglas Batangas, Piglas Pilipinas is our battle cry for a safe, peaceful, and sustainable society. Batangas and the rest of the Philippines will not bow to those who think of nothing but profit instead of people and plunder instead of protecting the environment,” said Naderev ‘Yeb’ Saño, executive director of Greenpeace Southeast Asia.

“Coal represents darkness, and Break Free is our source of light, especially for all communities who are standing up in the face of the fossil fuel industry’s relentless expansion despite climate change and the people’s clamor for climate justice. Today, we declare that we will break free from coal,” he said. (CBCPNews)

release of the two POWs. “Aside from releasing the two POWs, we will also turn over before you two other captives we held today,”

Ibarra said. “That is how we are serious in following the process on their release (POWs).’

Presidential frontrunner Mayor Rodrigo Duterte was able to catch up the turn over event as he was the last signatory on the release papers of the two former NPA POWs. He fetched the two Army soldiers to the 402nd Brigade Army camp in Bancasi, Butuan City.

Also present in the event were San Luis Mayor Ronaldo Corvera and Mayor Norberto Pagaspas of Buenavista, Agusan del Norte where the two Army POWs were captured in a surprise NPA checkpoint.

The former POWs in separate interview admitted they were treated humanely by their captors during their month-long captivity.

Ibarra said the NPA custodial platoon that held the two POWs treated them well that “not even a single hair of skin was touch by those who guarded them.”

He however said the captives have to contend with the hardships of a revolutionary combatant trekking kilometers crisscrossing the hinterlands of the neighboring provinces of Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur. The release of the captives was worked out by third party facilitators led by church leaders from Philippine Ecumenical Peace Platform (PEPP) and local government officials, coordinated with the Philippine National Police, Armed Forces of the Philippines and the NPA. But Ibarra lambasted the Philippine Army for not presenting to the public NPA commander Ka Joker and six other civilians who were seized at a military checkpoint in neighboring Esperanza town.

Ibarra said Ka Joker was supposed to lead the POW turnover rites when he was arrested in the area still covered by the agreement on Suspension of Military Operation to pave the way for the smooth release of the rebels captives.

“Where is justice here?

Where is democracy that the government soldiers espoused?” Ibarra laments.

In a press statement,, the 401st Army Brigade confirmed the arrest of Ricardo Manili aka Ka Joker at a joint military and police checkpoint in the far-flung village of Remedios in Esperanza town.

Captain Jasper Gacayan, spokesman of the 401st Army Brigade, said Manili, commander of the sub regional committee 3 of North Central Mindanao Regional Command and concurrent secretary of Guerilla Force 4A, was caught after a brief chase to the Starex van they were riding after it tried to make a sudden U-turn when they saw a checkpoint set up by the Commission on Elections.

The military said Ka Joker has standing war-

rants of arrest for multiple murders, arsons, robbery and homicide committed in Agusan and nearby provinces in his more than 40 years in the revolutionary movement.

PAGASA, DA cite impacts of El Niño in region 10

from page A1

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, April 29 -- The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and Department of Agriculture (DA) enumerated serious impacts of El Niño in region 10 advising farmers to postpone planting crops until the drought is over.

Anianita R. Fortich, PAGASA-Mindanao Regional Services Division officerin charge, said during the Lambo Dyes radio program on April 29 that part of region 10 will remain in drought for the months of May to September namely Bukidnon, Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental and Misamis Oriental. She also said that

by June, Camiguin Island will remain to experience drought.

Meanwhile, Audy G. Maagad, supervising agriculturist, Field Operations Division, Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office 10, said that there

are 59, 459 farmers affected by the drought and about 28,893 hectares of corn or 16% of total damage.

Furthermore, the total rice area damage reached to 6, 946 hectares with its volume production loss of 24, 491 metric tons while the affected total livestock reached to 1,182.

He also stressed that Bukidnon experienced major damage on crops among all provinces in the region.

The DA however has implemented alternative programs to assist the farmers on El Niño phenomenon difficulties that include distribution of pump equipment, hybrid and certified seeds, fertilizers, biologics, and more. The department also provides medicines for the livestock of the farmers as well as cloud seeding operation to increase the water level in the irrigation dams that will provide water to the standing crops.

cial provider of my father who is now paralyzed after a brain surgery from an accident,” Figuracion said.

She was very thankful of the Job Fair program of the Department, “Hearing the announcement from a radio station, I did not think twice anymore and proceeded right away in SM,” she said.

The 2016 Labor Day Job Fair posted some 9,186 vacancies. The 4,859 vacancies were available for overseas hire from 13 recruitment agencies; some 4,305 vacancies for local employment from the 90 private companies; and eight government agencies also participated with 22 vacancies.

Of the confirmed job vacancies solicited, DOLE Regional Director Raymundo Agravante said that some 1,209 applicants were registered, of which, 1,145 were interviewed and 802 were qualified.

Some 566 are near hired (lacking in requirements, or for further interview).

This year’s month-long Labor Day celebration in the region is anchored on the theme, “Kinabukasan Sigurado sa Disenteng,” which this Job Fair was only participated by the private companies which were awarded with the Certificates of Compliance with the Department or they are compliant with labor laws and standards.

as a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education fresh graduate from Fatima College of Camiguin, she was eager to apply in the Job Fair. “I am very hopeful in joining this Job Fair, being also a former SPES (Special Program for the Employment of Students) beneficiary of the Province last Summer of CY 20142015, giving me the trust towards DOLE programs,” she said.

Bacor only applied to one vacant position and company as a Cashier at SM City’s Toy Kingdom. “I applied only at Toy Kingdom, believing my credentials are what the company is looking for,” she said.

“I am very excited to work and be an asset to Toy Kingdom,” Bacor said.

“We are very poor in the family and I believe my employment will realize my dream to build a home for my family,” she said.

Bacor’s father is the breadwinner of the family, as a carpenter. She is the first to graduate among her siblings, as the second of five in their family. “My salary will not only help the household expenses but also help my younger siblings continue school,” she said.

Toy Kingdom operates under International Toyworld Inc. (ITI), an allFilipino owned company which started its retail operations on September of 1990. As an affiliate of the SM Group of Companies, ITI engages in the wholesale and retail of toys and other related merchandise.

It is the largest chain of toy stores in the AsiaPacific region and easily accessible in leading SM Malls nationwide, inside SM Department Stores and in SM Supermarkets/ Hypermarkets/Save More.

Likewise, a Kagay-anon, Jeanie May Figuracion, previously an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) as a Domestic Household Worker in Kuwait for two years and five months ago, was also a HOTS by YHMD International Manpower as a Cleaner in Saudi Arabia.

“I want to return to work abroad after being unemployed for the past seven months,” Figuracion said.

“Though this is my first time to join in a Job Fair, I came early and prepared my requirements, which are already on-hand from my previous work, especially that I come from a far-flung barangay in Dansolihon,” she added.

“Having experienced working abroad was advantageous to me being a single mother of two, the breadwinner of seven other siblings, and finan-
