Journey to the Cateel Dam An agri-tourism attraction in Davao Oriental is the P228 Million mega dam in the Municipality of Cateel which was completed only last October this year. The Cateel Dam is making the difference in reconstruction and impact to the rice production of the adjoining municipalities of the eastern province facing the Pacific Ocean. This project saw the fulfillment of team work in a community and utilization of acquired funds to its fullest. The cost of the Dam is little compared to the economic impact it will deliver.

Cateel was tossed in the national headline in 2012 when Typhoon Pablo wreaks havoc in D avao Oriental and the Compostela Valley.

With insurmountable damage to infrastructure and loss of lives in this municipality together with the towns of Boston and Baganga which laid in rubbles that looks like Hiroshima in Japan when the first atomic bomb was dropped by the Americans to end the Pacific War. Today, under the leadership of a diminutive lady Governor the less known Corazon Malanyaon, Cateel crawls back with self-help and World Bank assistance to what it is today, the biggest rice producing municipality in Davao Oriental.

Davao Oriental is blessed with rivers and tributaries that gathers water from the upland. It has its share of deforestation in the past from decades of logging

Beleaguered Vice President Jejomar Binay is trying his best to project himself as the poor and the downtrodden being trampled upon by the rich and the mighty in their well laid-out plan to prevent him from becoming president in 2016.

In yesterday’s papers he claimed to being crucified by his political foes. But one thing Binay refuses to do is appear before the Senate to prove his innocence to the charges leveled against him that in great deal have to do with his integrity and competence to lead the nation with uprightness.

The propaganda strategy of Binay so far is simply issue general denials to all charges against him of having earned millions of

pesos in kickbacks from infrastructure projects while still mayor of Makati City.

In fact, the kickbacks he supposedly earned is now being linked to his having owned a vast track of land in Batangas that can compare to estates of the rich and

mighty in Europe and the United States in its lavishness. Even if Binay denies owning this controversial estate, he owned up having certain interests such as an orchids farm, piggery and other business interests inside the farm he vehemently disowns.

An ally then came out in the open owning up the property. But he could not convincingly prove from whom he bought it at how much. He gave a name that no less than the register of deeds in the locality where the property is located says was never registered in their registry books as having owned even just a square meter of real estate in their locality.

Binay’s defenses are actu-

ally weakening his own position because of his failure to convincingly prove beyond doubt that he is not guilty of the charges against him.

Denial in this particular case is insufficient to prove innocence.

The presumptive candidate of the opposition for the presidency in 2016 is likewise weakening his defenses with his refusal to appear before the Senate to personally prove beyond doubt his innocence. Is this a very tall order for Binay to do when this could give him the opportunity to prove all his detractors wrong?

Is there something Binay is so worried about appearing before the Senate aside from his common reply that See bacon, page A7

anti-insurgency operations by the military and Bagani forces led by Datu Calpet Egua.

A copy of the agreement obtained by DavaoToday enumerated five conditions for Manobo folks to return home, namely: No military and police forces would escort them; the corn sheller and stocks of the cooperative that were destroyed should be replaced; the school must be immediately repaired; a joint monitoring team after the PPOC (Provincial Peace and Order) meeting should be established to review and imple-

ment a 2011 agreement; the provincial government will file charges to Marcos Bucales and Datu Calpet Egua.

The agreement was signed by Vice Mayor Fernando H. Tejero, Provincial Administrator Efren Rivas, Punong Barangay Liby M. Te, a community representative Onel N. Campos and Capt. Jasper T. Gacayan as the representative for the military.

The signing of the agreement was witnessed by Police Senior Inspector (PSI) Emmanuel Guillermo, an officer from Philippine National Police.

Majority of the tribal communities has started returning to their homes as of Tuesday with no military and police escorts but Villasanta said some of the Manobo folks is just return on Wednesday after five dumptrucks provided by Governor Johnny Pimentel were not able to transport them Tuesday.

“As long as CARHRIHL is not fully implemented civilians will be greatly affected by the armed conflicts. I hope that LGUs especially the military, police will familiarize the document so that they will be educated

on how to protect the rights of the civilians in conflict areas,” said Villasanta.

“The government should consider the resumption of the peace talks with NDFP so that the root cause of armed conflicts will be resolved,” he said.

The CARHRIHL was signed on March 16, 1998 in The Hague, The Netherlands and was approved on April 10, 1998 by NDFP National Council Chairperson Mariano Orosa and on August 7, 1998 by then President Joseph E. Estrada. (davaotoday.com)

30IB troops in S. Norte intensify defense tactics against guerrillas SANTA CRUZ, Surigao del Norte – In a successive encounter with more or less 30 New People’s Army (NPAs) believed to be members of Sandatahang Platun Pampropaganda 16C (SPP16C) Guerilla Front Committee 16 (GFC16) of North Eastern Mindanao Regional Committee (NEMRC) at about 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. of November 1, 2014 at Sitio Little Baguio, Brgy Payapag, Bacuag, this province, 30IB Philippine Army (PA) Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Arsenio Sadural, in behalf of his team, honored the soldiers who gallantly perform their

duties to guard civilian communities against hostilities brought about by guerrillas.

“Our greatest salute to our fallen comrades and we express our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of our slain comrades. They were killed while protecting the Filipino people in pursuit for peace and development in the area. They offered their lives for the sake of the people of Surigao lel Norte.

They will always be remembered as true heroes and their sacrifices will never be in vain.” Sadural said.

A few days before the said encounter, the 30th

Infantry (Python) Battalion received an information from a concerned citizen in Brgy. Payapag regarding the presence of NPAs, who were extorting food and money from the barangay folks.

After identifying the area where the armed groups are, the troops of 30IB conducted combat operations and encountered the said NPAs. After the first encounter which lasted for thirty (30) minutes, one of the PA soldiers got killed in action.

On the second encounter, another one got killed in action and two were slightly wounded. There

were also casualties on the rebel group as evidenced by heavy bloodstains along their routes of withdrawal.

Sadural said the two soldiers died in fulfilling their duties of defending the sovereignty of our country and protecting the community against NPA’s excessive extortion, deceptive recruitment activities and spreading of terror. Every army’s heart hopes for peace like all of us wish for and to feel safe anywhere we go and every time we go home to our families frequently like every ordinary family man does. (SDR/LT.

DUMALINAO, Zamboanga del Sur – “We’re not praying for a disaster but should it strike, we are ready,” thus said Mayor Ace William E. Cerilles in a recent interview with the Philippine Information Agency (PIA).

Responding to the needs of his constituents and gearing up for climate change adaptation, mitigation and resiliency, the good mayor recently acquired a disaster rescue vehicle for the town amounting to P710,000.00 from calamity funds.

“We bought this emergency rescue vehicle (ERV) because this is what we need, so I made it a priority.

We have flood-prone areas like Barangay Rebokon and the coastal barangays of Pantad, Metokong, Mama, Bagong Silao, and Bibilik,” the young mayor clarified.

He said there is a bridge in Barangay Matab-ang on the way to Rebokon which is impassable during heavy

rains because of flooding.

The local government has made the necessary repairs to make it accessible even through incessant rains.

The emergency rescue vehicle, acquired on October 30, 2014 is the first of its kind in the province and was bought from Pasajero Motors Corporation in Cebu City. Mayor Cerilles intends to buy another unit next year to better serve his

constituents and hopes that this will be replicated in other municipalities.

It is equipped with a fiberglass dinghy, 5hp outboard motor, 3KVA generator set, 2 sets 500 watts halogen lamps, fire extinguishers, chainsaw, axe, life jackets, rain boots, hard hats, nylon ropes, flashlights and other accessories needed during emergency rescue operation.

Cerilles said the Barangay Emergency Response Team (BERT) composed of 260 members are ready for any eventuality should a disaster hit their

town. To upgrade their skills and readiness to respond to disasters, a recent training held on October 26-29 was a boost to their capability.

On the other hand, LGU officials are always on the alert and monitoring the situation in all 30 barangays of the municipality. With the cooperation and vigilance of everyone in the community, there is no doubt that Dumalinao is a disaster-resilient town, coping with extreme weather condition and cushioning its impact in the lives of everyone.

nothing substantial will come out of his appearance before senators that he accused of having prejudged him already?

What better way to prove he had been prejudged by the senators other than appear before them and let the nation decide if indeed he had been prejudged by members of the Senate? Or is Binay afraid that his appearance before the Senate will lead to his being forced to tell the truth?

Understandably, this is scary for him. Since his case of corruption came out in the open, Binay had been insisting his version of the story is the truth thus making his detractors all liars.

What if the Senators would be able to extract the truth from him which is not what he has been saying as the truth?

If this happens, Binay can then kiss goodbye to his ambition of becoming president of this benighted country and thus fail to continue his business as usual way of handling Makati where he rose to prominence, wealth-wise, without investing a single centavo in any business undertaking.

It is Binay himself who has been saying he rose from abject poverty to become a lawyer. But he has not been heard of as having practiced law except his being a human rights lawyer during Martial Rule years, a practice that everybody knows is not lucrative. So how will Binay explain his being ultra-rich now?

This is what bogs Binay’s mind nowadays. His being wealthy is something that his foes need not prove. Binay himself proved this fact with his current lifestyle. That he is wealthy is established already. How he became such a wealthy person since 1986 when he first became mayor of Makati up to this point is the question.

Is becoming mayor of a premier city so lucrative nowadays that holding such position will result to becoming rich just like what happened to Binay? Look at how much wealthy Erwin Jejomar Binay, the incum-

News In Fucos

bent mayor of Makati City, has become now. Is Erwin into big business while he was not yet mayor for him to flaunt so much wealth now?

What I could vividly recall is that Erwin Jejomar Binay was a mere councilor of Makati City, his only visible job prior to succeeding his father as mayor of the country’s wealthiest city.

Now may we know how much is Erwin Jejomar Binay’s worth now?

Is this not the very same situation the Vice President was in before becoming mayor of Makati City? What made Jejomar Binay’s becoming ultra-rich a matter of fact now? This is what the people would like to know from Binay himself, if he cares to explain how he became what he is now financially.

June but the turnover ceremony had to be postponed to this month when former town mayor Mario T. Okinlay was killed in an ambush.

School principal Elvie Magbujos received the key from New Jian Hua Mining executive David Hay on stage with Impasug-ong Vice Mayor Democrito “dodo” Okinlay and Councilor Julia A. Okinlay, widow of the late mayor.

Among the speakers during the occasion was Mai Okinlay Gumban, daughter of the Okinlay couple.

According to principal Magbujos, the new school building eased their classroom shortage and that at least two sections no longer hold classes in makeshift classrooms.

She said the school has a total of 800 elementary pupils, with 230 in Grade 7 and Grade 8.

For her part, Councilor Okinlay said this project was undertaken for the late mayor’s advocacy on education.

“We are very happy for this new school building,” she said, adding that three schools in the municipality have now benefited from the corporate social responsibility program of the New Jian Hua Company.

The mining company also held a feeding program consisting of porridge, sandwich and juice to some 1,000 children at the school during the same day.

CDO Mayor Moreno inaugurates new Balulang National High School “They have now a home of their own.”

This was how Mayor Oscar Moreno describes the just inaugurated 3 storey-16 classroom Balulang National High School of Brgy Balulang on October 28, 2014.

Mayor Moreno, during the inauguration, said the new Balulang National High School will now have its own site situated along a one-hectare lot along Sentro Ilaya of the said barangay.

Moreno said this is only the beginning of solving classroom shortage in the city which resulted to emergency classes that cause the deterioration of the of education of the children.

“It is very tragic since Cagayan de Oro is the center of education in Northern Mindanao and yet it’s (quality of education) especially in the public elementary

and secondary high school is very deteriorating given that education was given less priority in the previous years,” Moreno said.

Ms. Ma. Dulce Potenciano, focal person on education of the city and executive director of the Local School Board, said the opening of the classroom building will serve the over 150 students and will no longer be called an annex high school of Cagayan de Oro National High School.

Potenciano added the Moreno administration vowed to solve the problems on education especially on annex high schools that has been neglected for years.

The P19.9 million school building project is funded under the Special Education Fund (SEF) and approved by the 15-man team of the Local School Board (LSB).

Construction of classrooms started few months

after Mayor Moreno took over the rein of leadership in Cagayan de Oro when he won against former Mayor Vicente Emano.

Also present during the turn-over ceremony were representative of 1st District Rep. Rolando Uy, members of the LSB and DepEd officials.

The SEF was taken from a percentage of the Real Property Tax collected by the city.

The Balulang National High School, along with the new 1 storey-3classroom building of Man-ai Elementary School in Sitio Man-ai Brgy Tignapoloan, 1 srtorey-6classroom Tumpagon National High School and 3-storey-21 classroom PN Roa Elementary School were among the many classroom buildings already turned over by the city this year.

It’s Lani Misalucha live tomorrow night at Limketkai Atrium

By MARK FRANCISCO Assistant Lifestyle Editor

T

HE Filipino singer dubbed as The Nightingale will entertain Cagayanons tomorrow at a much-awaited concert at Limketkai Mall at 8:00 p.m. with special guests Jed Madela, Juan Karlos Labajo (The Voice Kids Philippines) and Journey frontman Arnel Pineda.

It’s a night of international superstars as Lani will serenade with her signature hits and more surprises in a spectacular evening sure to remember.

Lani Misalucha, born August 3, 1969, is a multiawarded Filipino recording artist, television show host and world-class performer.

She began her career at age 17, despite never having planned to be a professional singer. From her serendipitous debut as a stand-in for her elder sister, performing backup vocals for a 90’s band called “Law of Gravity”, Lani’s raw talent caught light, and her fiveoctave range and musical versatility did little to keep her from being thrust onto the stage.

Lani first seized the lounge scene and gained entry into the commercial music market, lending her vocal prowess to projects that cut across the entertainment spectrum. From jazz club engagements, to advertisement jingles, to multiplex recordings that required her to emulate the vocal styling of world-class artists, Lani embraced the music industry and started developing her signature chameleonic artistry in the process.

It was in 1996 that Lani became a break through artist in the Philippine recording scene, when, with only two singles to ride on, Lani bagged a Record of the Year award and twelve nominations for her first album “More than I Should”, released by Alpha Records.

She went on to clinch the Minuro Endo Best Interpreter/ Singer award at the Third Asian Song Festival, two years after, making her mark in the International music arena.

Over the next five years, Lani’s captive audience grew with each song recorded and every stage conquered: She had released two Gold albums, played lead in a musical adaptation of The Ramayana (Rama at Sita), started hosting for television and enjoyed a winning streak in numerous local music awards. Lani’s soar to new artistic heights ultimately led to her distinct identification and recognition by MTV Asia as ‘Asia’s Nightingale’.

In September of 2001, Lani’s enchanted audience packed the rafters of one of Manila’s biggest concert venues, the Araneta Coliseum, to SRO status. The success of Lani’s first major solo concert, entitled “Lani Misalucha: The Crossover Live Tour” reverberated in raving reviews, album sales, a gamut of awards, a successful 2-night repeat at no less than the Cultural Center of the Philippines and a series of shows and performances in major cities in the Philippines and the United States.

After the release of her fourth album, Loving You, Lani moved to the US and made history by becoming the first Asian to headline in a Main Showroom on the Las Vegas Strip in 2004. The Jubilee Theatre of Bally’s Hotel and Casino featured Lani alongside Hawaii’s premiere show band, Society of Seven. Vegas critics were quick to recognize Lani, applauding and citing her as Las Vegas’ New Diva. With her successful 15-month run at the Bally’s, a series of road tours, and subsequent offers to headline shows in the entertainment capital of the world, Asia’s Nightingale sky-rocketed to world-wide recognition as the new Siren of the Strip.

At the height of her international success, Lani went back to the recording studio in 2006, doing covers of well-loved classics for her fifth album release. Just as the album turned Gold in 2007, Lani came home to regale her Filipino audience with songs and stories in a one-night engagement at the Araneta Coliseum. The concert, aptly titled, Missing You, was packed by almost 18,000 fans and followers, a testament not only to Lani’s rousing world-class talent, but also to her dedication to the people who have come to love her music.

By 2008, Vegas was more than glad to have the Siren of the Strip back on its premiere frontline. The Las Vegas Review Journal has

just hailed Lani as Vegas’ Best Singer (staff pick) on its Best of Vegas Poll, inevitably putting her name alongside Celine Dion, who was voted as reader’s choice. After capping off her stint at the Flamingo, Lani began another show, Voices, with Earl Turner at the Hilton in 2009. Just after one month, the show’s producers decided that Lani was ready to go solo, and she was given the whole of the Shimmer Showroom to mesmerize with her music.

Breaking ground on another stage yet again, Lani made history, in October 2011, when she debuted as lead host of the first mainstream travel and lifestyle television show featuring Las Vegas. ‘It’s Vegas with Lani’ has for its first season, thirteen (13) 30-minute episodes that offer a new perspective of Sin City, featuring restaurants, shops, destinations and adventure tours for both local and global audiences. Lani’s popularity in Vegas led City Mayor Oscar Goodman to declare December 4th as Lani Misalucha Day, following the footsteps of Mayor Willie L. Brown, Jr. who had also previously declared August 17th as Lani Misalucha Day for San Francisco.

Lani’s artistry has truly come full circle. From her serendipitous debut to her recognition as an artist of international caliber, the story of Lani’s journey with music transcends every song, heartfelt and genuine in its delivery of all the all the best that is yet to come.

Lani’s Cagayan de Oro tour is presented by Orotime, SMDC, AstroVision and Astroplus; co-pesented by Limketkai Luxe Hotel, Mindanao Daily and Limketkai Center; with sponsors Chananthon, 2GO Travel, Twinbee Print Ads, FLC & GLC, Dunkin Donuts, Jatico Events and Ultra Craft; with media partners ABS-CBN, MOR 91.9, 103.9 Energy FM, Yes! FM, Wild Zee and 96.9 Easy Rock.

Oro Integrated Cooperative (OIC) Awarded as one of the Most Outstanding Cooperatives in the Philippines for the 3rd consecutive year.

By: EUGENE G. BALANE

“It’s not the reward that matters or the recognition you might harvest.

It’s your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion - these are the things that count in life. When you give purely, the honor comes in the giving, and that honor is enough.” ―Scott O'Grady

Service and commitment to its members is what drives Oro Integrated Cooperative (OIC) more than the awards and recognitions. OIC feels that it still has so much more to do for the community in terms of social programs and the improvement of its members’ welfare.

Its ultimate goal is to alleviate the plight of the people in the community by

providing products and programs such as enterprise development, technical support, financial assistance, creating wealth and opportunities.

OIC, one of the most trusted primary cooperatives in Cagayan de Oro City accepts that it cannot provide the whole answer to poverty and economic injustice but works hard to be part of the solution. Its diverse programs are geared to address the many dimensions of human development and can help spur both economic and social growth to its members as well as to the community where it serves.

Its efforts were recognized on October 16, 2014 when Oro Integrated Cooperative (OIC) was again chosen by the Cooperative Development Authority

as one of The Most Outstanding Cooperatives in the Philippines – Large Scale Category for the third time in three consecutive years during the Gawad Parangal Awards.

OIC Chief Executive Officer, Floriano R. Hilot, stressed that passion to serve and not worldly success and accolades serves as the guiding principle of the institution. Through good governance and sound fiscal management, OIC has been able to strike an equitable balance between providing quality service and implementing significant social projects and environmental programs.

OIC also received the Gawad Parangal Special Citation for its EXEMPLARY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION PROGRAM, through its

“Tree Growing and Nurturing Project”.

The project enabled the planting of more than 5,000 mangove trees in Gingoog City and El Salvador City. The endeavor is being undertaken in partnership with the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO).

The above said activity is spearheaded by the Department of Agriculture (DA) in coordination with the Philippine Maize Federation, Inc. and other partner agencies. # (JLOlson, DA-RFO 10)

Cagayan de Oro City -- In recognition of the laudable performances of the various local government units (LGUs) throughout the country towards the promotion and development of the corn industr y, the Department of Agriculture (DA) is set to award this year’s Quality Corn Achievers (QCA), here in the

city on November 20, 2014 at the Atrium, LimKetKai Mall.

The said ceremony is slated to confer nearly P44 million worth of non-monetary prizes and cash awards to the five (5) outstanding provinces, three (3) provincial agriculturists (PAs), (5) provincial corn coordinators (PCCs), twenty-five (25) mu-

nicip a lit ies/cit ies, twenty-one (21) municipal/city agriculturists (MAs/CAs), eighteen (18) municipal/ city corn coordinators (MCCs/CCCs) and one hundred (100) agricultural extension workers (AEWs), who are involved in the implementation of the projects and services under the Agri-Pinoy Corn Program.

For their meritorious efforts in the production of safe and quality corn, the DA shall grant the top 5 provinces with P3 million (M) and P1 M to the top 25 cities/ municipalities, which shall be in the form of approved projects such as infrastructure, farm machineries and equipment, post harvest facilities and other

relevant projects.

Meanwhile, the top 5 PAs and PCCs shall each receive P40,000 and P30,000 cash incentive, respectively.

The top 25 MAs/CAs/ MCCs/CCCs shall each get P25,000 while the top 100 AEWs shall be awarded with P20,000 each.

In attendance to formally present the awards to the QCAs is

Now on its 2nd year, the CQA awarding will be held during the conduct of the 10th Philippine National Corn Congress, which will run from November 17-21, 2014. #

DAVAO City – The proposed biggest solar power plant project in the Philippines, which will be located in Surallah, South Cotabato, has already acquired two major government clearances as well as the funding commitment to jumpstart its construction, officials said.

Bryan Diosma, of the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) and a technical staff at the Mindanao Power Monitoring Committee (MPMC), said Wednesday the solar power project of NV Vogt Philippines Solar Energy One, Inc. has already secured permits from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples.

“Those are the two major permits needed to start an RE (renewable energy) project,” he said, citing data from the One Stop Facilitation and Monitoring Center (OSFMC).

Last month, MinDA, the secretariat of the MPMC, and the Department of Energy (DoE) launched the center’s web portal in Metro Manila.

Diosma told MindaNews that NV Vogt has

also acquired a service contract from the DOE. Based on the data from the OSFMC, NV Vogt proposes to construct a 12.5-megawatt solar power plant in Surallah town, he said.

Recently, NV Vogt officials paid a courtesy visit to South Cotabato Governor Daisy Avance Fuentes, who expressed support to their RE project.

Last June, Surallah town Mayor Antonio Bendita said in a radio interview “that the P1billion solar power plant project was expected to go on stream in January 2015.”

NV Vogt, which according to another source is still waiting for the approval from the Energy Regulation Commission, has already started initial drilling works as well as the construction of office facilities at the plant site.

In a statement last August, NV Vogt announced that the Armstrong Asset Management (AAM) has committed to provide US$29 million (P1.3 billion at current exchange rates) to fund the construction of the first phase involving a

6.5 MW ground-mounted and grid-connected solar power plant.

The South Cotabato 6.25 MW project will be the world’s largest diesel replacement power plant when it is completed, given that 100 percent of its generated power will replace diesel-generated peak power, NV Vogt said.

At 6.25 MW, it would also be the biggest solar photovoltaic (PV) power project in the country once completed, surpassing the one-megawatt solar facility in Cagayan de Oro City.

Andrew Affleck, a managing partner of AAM, said this investment, the first by the Fund in the Philippines and the first with NV Vogt, represents a benchmark for the development of diesel-offset projects globally and one which does not rely on subsidies by way of feedin-tariffs.

“With the projected power deficit forecast for 2015 in the Philippines, this project can serve as a benchmark for clean and quick decentralized energy solutions without the need for government subsidies.

Armstrong is very proud to be funding this precedent

setting project,” he said.

Anton Milner, managing director of the solar power plant business for the Berlin-based owner IB Vogt and chairman of NV Vogt Singapore, said he was pleased to be working with AAM as the Fund obviously “shares our bullish view” of South East Asia as the ideal region to develop economically viable renewable energy projects.

“We believe solar power is a compelling need as well as attractive opportunity in the developing markets of Asia. Our first project in the Philippines is doubly important because it will provide clean and unsubsidized solar photo voltaic (PV) electricity benefitting the wider community and it is one of the largest diesel-offset projects in the world to date, which is an important future market,” Milner said.

Vivek Chaudhri, president of NV Vogt Philippines, said that the partnership with AAM “will fund several projects in our Philippines pipeline, allowing us to focus on what we do best – develop and realize utility scale PV projects.”

MIRACLES STILL DO HAPPEN http://www.chinkeetan.com/

TAN

by CHINKEE

“I am running out of hope.”

“I do not think I can still get out of this financial debt.”

“I want to give up on my marriage.”

“I don’t think my parents can still change.”

“I want to close down my losing business.”

It is so easy to live in frustration and depression if you are going through these situations. It is so easy to say quit and wanting to give up.

But before you thrown in the towel say “QUIT!” Have you ever heard of the word called “MIRACLE?” That is the reason why there is such a word for it to be fulfilled.

A few months ago, I was invited to speak in a conference in a public restaurant.

We were running late so I had to rush into the hall.

When I was putting on my jacket I accidentally left my two phones on the couch where I was sitting.

After speaking for more than two hours, I asked my assistant if my phones are with him. He said it wasn’t with him. We looked inside my bag and all the table but still can’t find it. We were trying to call the phone but no one was answering. I was breaking into cold sweat resigned to the fact that both of my phones are lost. Creating scenarios that my phone was stolen and the phone will be lost forever.

I know it will take a miracle for me to see my phone again. But the Holy Spirit reminded me that I need to

be in faith and believe that God can restore my phone.

I know it was a long shot but there is nothing to lose but everything to gain. So I just simply prayed and asked my staff to go back to where we came from.

After 15 minutes, he came up smiling and very excited to report that he was able to retrieved the phones.

When I asked “Where did you find it?” He said, “It was just lying on the couch and no one took it.”

Now that is a miracle, two smart phones just sitting on the couch; it is a miracle as if God made it invisible so that no one can see it so it can be returned back to me.

Now, that is the power of God. Just like the miracle Jesus used to do.

He can make the lame walks, the blind sees, the mute talks and the deaf hears.

Your situation may not be a life and death situation but the good news is God cares, no matter how small or big your concern maybe.

So if you are going through tough times and an impossible situation.

Your business maybe failing.

Your marriage is at the edge of the cliff.

Your parents are not getting along and the brink of divorce.

Your financial burden is so deep that you are losing eat and sleep over it.

Never lose hope!

It maybe impossible to you but it is not impossible to God. Do not tell God how impossible our situation maybe, why don’t you tell your situation how big and impossible our God is.

THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. What impossible situation are you going through now?

Do you feel that it is kind of hopeless?

Have you come to the point that you have surrendered it fully and believe that God is the only answer?

that even school supplies the parent can’t provide.

Jose Abad Santos belongs among the poorest municipalities in the Phillipines based on a National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) report . The poorest municipality in the country is Siayan in Zamboanga del Norte with a poverty incidence of 79.9 percent followed

by Bucloc in Abra with 77. 2 percent; Baliguian in Zamboanga del Norte, 75.3 percent; Jose Abad Santos in Davao del Sur, 72.3 percent; and Sarangani in Davao del Sur with poverty incidence of 72.1 percent. Ironically, it is

also a first class municipality in Region 11. He was moved by the situation of the people in town where the poverty rate is very high and he believes that education is the key to fight poverty. As a philanthropist, he tries his best to help those in need specially those younger generations.

In 2010, he tried his luck in politics. He ran as vice-mayor in Jose Abad Santos but unfortunately he failed. But in 2013, he ran as an independent candidate. This time, he was elected as Councilor.

This young legislator tries to make little change. He wants good governance, transparency but sometimes the bureauratic sys-

Even the local government didn’t allocate budget for that very noble project Tulong Ko Kinabukasan Nyo, Kalusugan Alagaan Guto AyLabanan, a feeding program where 100 sacks of rice were given to 12,500 elementary pupils beneficiaries of Jose Abad Santos Davao Occidental and giving school supplies to those less fortunate pupils

in the town. Jonathan also joined Junior Chamber International (JCI) - Central Davao where he was fully supported by the group by his community outreach program.

Lastly during this interview, I asked him, “What should you like people want you to remember?”

“I want that people will remember me as a good leader, politician who has political will and helping those in need. I want also to be remembered as a good CEO in the business world.”

Living in a divergent world IT definitely helps to view life from an unbiased perspective. Sure, each of us belongs to a specific caste or group. Say you are an MUST alumnus. And you’re working in Mindanao Daily. It is your duty to be loyal to your school.

Or to your company, right?

But you don’t have to heckle organizations that you don’t belong to. That is where discrimination comes in.

Discrimination begets apathy. Violence. Hurt. And hatred by the ones who were hurt. More violence.

It’s an endless grim cycle.

The solution is simple.

Don’t be biased against

persons who don’t belong to your circle. The moment I wake up, I breathe diversity in my day-to-day job.

Each journalist needs to be one – totally detached from the persons he treats as news sources. Or in my case lifestyle and entertainment news sources. It’s not that hard. Just be yourself in dealing with people. No pretenses at all.

When I interview a socialite fashionista, I treat her the same way I talk to a street kid who’s struggling to learn how to become a crafts carver. When I immerse myself in a hardcore metal jam session at

Punchbowl, it’s the same way how I admire DJ Kyle Banaag. Or a violinist about to graduate from Lourdes College of Music. Or a Rap Batikos artist.

The first time I was assigned as lifestyle editor way back in 2008, the first event I covered was a bikini open. I perceive the bikini open participants on the same footing to that of a Miss Cagayan de Oro candidate. The same goes with my music playlist.

Whether Red Maningo or Marilyn Manson or the Heritage Singers is on, all of them are on shuffle.

It’s the same when I eat.

Whether it’s kwek-kwek at Divisoria or something served at TGIF, they all go down my stomach… haha!

Last September 23, I watched the Next Moves fifth anniversary concert.

When I wrote a review piece about the concert, it’s the same passion I had while recalling the Geek Wars at Angelo’s the day after. And the opening of the renovated Museo de Oro. And the Dayeg Christian bands audition. And the Zumba sa Divisoria.

And many more.

Daily HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - Just because you’re moving slowly doesn’t mean you need to give up or quit the race. In fact, your pace is the smartest choice for the time being, as now and then everyone needs a recharge.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - Your energy is perfect for getting closer to someone -- romantically or otherwise. You can understand where they’re coming from in a way that may take them by surprise at first.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - This is not the best time for major socializing -- you’ve got to focus on one person, if at all possible. Things may not really make much sense at first, but you can get to the heart of the mystery.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - Your social graces are accentuated today -- so much so that you may charm someone from head to toe. This could be a new work contact or even a new fling, so figure out what you want from them.

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - You feel a bit more stubborn than usual -- so make sure that you’re not lashing out randomly! It’s one of those days when you could be asked to do more than you’re ready to do.

I am a practicing Roman Catholic but I never use the word “God” in my column. I simply refer to the Higher Being as Divinity or Almighty. That’s because I know there are some people here in CDO that are not monotheists.

Special Gospel of the day: Luke16:1931(November7, 2014-Friday) Luke 16:19-31-There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented:

Saying says,” to be good it pays.” Look at the rich man who was sentenced to eternal fire due to his greediness. In Catechism for Filipino Catholics page 113- Greediness is one of the 7 capital sins.

God loves you!!!

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - It’s time for you to consider travel -- your energy is just right for getting out of town or making big plans. If you’ve got a dream, now is the time to see if you can push for making it a reality.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - You’re in the middle of some new cultural moment -- you may even be the instigator! Now is a good time for you to step up and invite that new outsider into your inner circle.

You’re irresistible!

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - Your opponent may be tougher than you think -- so don’t let your guard down! It’s a good day for opposition research and some careful strategic thinking. Things may start to get really weird quickly!

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - You should find it a little easier to figure out any mysteries you face today -- things just make more sense to your left brain.

Let it break problems down and build up solutions.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - Your love life sees a sharp boost today -- maybe your sweetie wants to take things to the next level, or maybe you’ve got a hot date with someone totally new. In either case, your energy is just right!

Jonathan Guillermo-Chua: Businessman, Philanthropist, Politician

By MARLON GAYOG, Correspondent Davao City

MEET Jonathan Guillermo-Chua, 32 years of age - a businessman, philanthropist and politician.

He’s the young and soft-spoken municipal councilor of Jose Abad Santos, Davao Occidental. Jonathan was born in Davao City. He was a son from a prominent family in barangay Nuing, Jose Abad Santos. His father is Juanito Chua from Bacolod. His mother is Concepcion

Guillermo-Chua, a native of Jose Abad Santos. There are two siblings in the family - his only sister Marry Corrine Castillo now working in the Middle East.

Jonathan started his career in business at 22 after his college at ADDU. He managed his own business in construction and electrical and construction hardware. Their family venture into agri-business - they have a coconut

plantation in Jose Abad Santos. While managing their plantation, Jonathan started his own business in construction and he’s doing well on his own business.

His family is known for helping others specially those in need. In fact, his grandmother Ednacia Guillermo donated three hectares for school building and church lot where Edna Guillermo National High School and Catholic

Church in barangay Nuing were located.

Jonathan was inspired by his lola and parents to help other people in his own capacity. And he’s willing to emulate what his parent told him.

In 2008, he started to advocate giving school supplies and feeding the pupils to selected schools on his own initiative.
