CAAP piloting M’nao for ‘green airport projects’ CAGAYAN de Oro City––The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has revealed plans to start implementing plans in Mindanao that will push for the agency’s “green airport projects.” CAAP chief William Hotchkiss said the plans and ongoing projects would combine sustainable green solutions towards ecofriendly airports. “We are now working on incorporating sustainable eco solutions towards the needs of our airports. We are going to put up water systems both for the use of passengers and fire trucks. We will have to use deep well system but we will augment it with a rain in catchment system so we can recycle rainwater,” said Hotchkiss. “Right now we have already piloted the project in Butuan City and we will also put one Siargao,” he added. Hotchkiss, a former air force chief, explained that since he took over as CAAP’s head it has always been his priority to push for a green advocacy. “Aside from the ongoing water catchment projects, we are now looking on a study in the use of solar energy in our airports. Our plan is to pilot it in a chosen airport in Mindanao, and then see how far we can go from there. If you’ve seen the airports in Mindanao, we have large empty space in the runway. We are talking of leasing 50 hectares and put solar panels in those empty spaces,” said the CAAP chief. Hotchkiss further explained that with the solar power in place the airport will be a sustainable source of energy and would be able to help in Mindanao’s power needs. “If the project would be successful, excess electricity can be channel back to the Mindanao Grid providing additional generation of electricity to the existing power problems of the island. If our Solar Energy pilot will become successful, then we can replicate it nationwide,” he said. Hotchkiss said the plans will definitely help in the existing problems faced in maintaining the airports. “Definitely rainwater catchment will be there continuously. For a lot of our terminals, rainwater gives us a problem on where to put it. With the rain catchment in place we not only solve the problem but utilize nature gift as well. The plan to have solar power generation in our airports is still under study but definitely it is very feasible,” he said. (Erwin Mascarinas/MindaNews)

MISAMIS Oriental Vice Governor Joey G. Pelaez urged his colleagues in the Sangguniang Panlalawigan to petition the National Electrification Administration (NEA) to investigate and conduct comprehensive audit on Misamis Oriental II Electric Service Cooperative (Moresco II). “Moresco II is seriously mismanaged,” said Pelaez, who temporarily relinquished his post as presiding officer to deliver his privilege speech during the 24th regular session of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Misamis Oriental. He said Moresco II secured a loan from NEA amounting to P101,862,000 to finance the construction of 27-kilometer 69KV sub-transmission line. He added the NEA Board of Administrators approved the loan on October 18, 2011. “On November 4, 2011, Moresco II subsequently applied to Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) for the approval of emergency capital expenditure projects with prayer for authority to secure a loan in the hope of passing-on to the member-consumers the payment for such loan which includes the construction of a 69kv sub-transmission line to be installed from the Balingasag Substation to the

Vice guv seeks probe, audit of electric coop Sugbongcogon Substation,” said the vice governor in his privilege speech adding, “on November 19, 2012, ERC denied the application to build the proposed 69kv line project from Balingasag to Sugbongcogon.” But when Pelaez verified with NEA, the loan applied for by Moresco II was already released in two installments; the first on April 2012 in the amount of P51,313,000, and the second was on Januar y 2013 in the amount of P50,549,000. “The construction of the 69kv sub-transmission line has already commenced. Why was Moresco II overly eager to construct the 69kv line project without waiting for the decision of the ERC? The ERC subsequently denied in part its application, and the sub-transmission lines now serve as white elephants,” said Pelaez. Pelaez said the payment
of the subject loan will cause irreparable and serious damage to the financial position of Moresco II considering that the loaned amount cannot be passed-on to consumers pursuant to the decision of ERC. He said: “Moresco II deliberately failed to consider the impact of obtaining the multi-million loan on the electricity bills especially to the poor member-consumers when they secured a loan and intentionally ignored alternative options that will entail cheaper projects and will not burden as much our over-burdened poor member-consumers. Instead, Moresco II pursued a colossal project big enough for the demands of their franchise area. This is an irresponsible action indicative of serious mismanagement.” Boom truck apprehended Pelaez said the Boom truck owned by Moresco II was caught loaded with lumber and f litches of lauan wood in Doming Cuerdo Street in Gingoog City on January 28, 2014.

“There was neither cutting permit nor transport permit presented which is violative of EO 23 (the law prohibiting illegal logging) and EO 277 (The Revised Forestry Code), as amended,” said the vice governor. He asked: “Why would the management of MORESCO II allow its equipment to be used in transactions which are illegal? This is clearly an indication that
MORESCO II is seriously mismanaged?” Unbundling of rates Section 36 of Republic Act No. 9136 or the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) which took effect in 2001 specifically requires each distribution utility to unbundle rates of providing services. This means that the power actually used by the consumer will only be the one reflected in the bill. But MORESCO II is
imposing the minimum power usage of 15kWh for residential consumer and 30kWh for commercial consumers. Thus, memberconsumers who use lessthan-the-minimum power are being overcharged. “ This does not only manifest a serious disregard of law but also guilty of disparaging the welfare of the poor member-consumers,” Pelaez said. SP COMMUNICATIONS
plained that this will help or guide the passengers to imme di ately rep or t any traffic violation or record the plate number, name of the operators and submit these details later to the Roads and Traffic Administration (RTA) for immediate apprehension. Under the traffic code,
operators will be fined with P500 for failure to print the name of operator and the plate number inside passenger cabs. Meanwhile, Councilor Bacal also advises passengers to take note of the plate numbers of taxi cabs. He said they can use this as a reference
in case of emergency or w h e n t h e y n e e d to retrieve important baggages that may have been left inside the cab. Pa s s e n g e r s a r e e n couraged to help report violations through RTA hotlines, cellphone number 09069641092 or PLDT 858-2841. (ELB)

Republic of the Philippines PROVINCE OF LANAO DEL NORTE MUNICIPALITY OF BACOLOD OFFICE OF THE SANGGUNIANG BAYAN
EXCERPTS FROM THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF THE SANGGUNIANG BAYAN OF BACOLOD, LANAO DEL NORTE HELD AT LEGISLATIVE SESSION HALL ON JULY 13, 2011.
B
UKIDNON Province - The Malaybalay City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC) is conducting more bomb awareness drills to prepare for eventualities. The bomb awareness drills will be done, at least, once every quarter. This was agreed during the Evaluation Session held at the Bukidnon Diners in Casisang, Malaybalay City, last July 1 after the conduct of a multiple bombing incident drill. The said session served as the culminating activity of the City Government of Malaybalay, as it launched the celebration of the Disaster Consciousness Month in this city. It followed a motorcade, press conference and the bombing drill. The first mock bomb blew up at the Bukidnon State University at around 1:15 p.m. followed by an ot h e r b omb, w h i ch blasted 30 minutes later at the Jose Un Building, located at the corner of Fortich and Moreno streets in Barangay 4, this city. Immediately after the first mock bomb was detonated, Mayor Ignacio Zubiri ordered Assistant
City Administrator Romeo Lapeciros Jr. to establish and lead an Incident Command Post (ICP) near the vicinity of BSU. The s ame ICP a ls o handled the crisis brought about by the second mock bombing, which also included hostage-taking drama and fire subincidents. Observers said the ICP is hard to identify and there were lapses in the communication sub-system, tagging of victims, crowd control, coordination and supervision of responders, control of access to the ICP and in creating an evacuation zone. The evaluators also pointed out the delayed establishment of the ICP near the site of the second bombing incident. They enumerated the fol lowing we akness es: inadequate crowd control, slow cordoning of the area, inadequacies in the negotiation between the ICP leader and the bomber hostage-taker, lack of sense of urgency and realism, as there are many people who had advance knowledge of the drill. However, there were many responders coming
from both the government and private sectors. Also, both the Special We ap o n s a n d Ta c t i c s (SWAT) team from the Philippine National Police and a unit from the Armed Forces of the Philippines adhered to a protocol of engagement. The PNP SWAT engaged the bomber hostage-takers and took them down. Members of the Ma l ay b a l ay C i t y F i r e Department followed by putting off the fire and rescued the victims, who were then turned over to the Philippine Red Cross team for first aid treatment and transported to the hospital. The g roup, w hich designed these incidents, defended the drill’s being less realistic. Accordingly, it is truly difficult to be totally secretive in the conduct of such drill for fear of being responsible to the negative effects that may arise later as a result of such secrecy. For example, what if someone will have a heart attack after being totally surprised when a bomb detonates? Another agreement is to have private hospitals involved in the drill. This is to ensure that government

Two Butuan IP villages benefit DSWD’s community-led projects
B
UTUAN City - Barangays Anticala and Pianing, specifically sitios Mahayahay and Catabwanan, of this city inaugurated recently the day care center projects, identified and implemented by ordinary citizens in the said barangay. “With the intervention of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) C araga, t hes e projects were made possible through empowering local citizens by letting them articulate the causes of their poverty problems and equipping them through trainings for project i m p l e m e n t a t i o n ,” s a i d Regional Planning Officer Jean Paul Parajes, w ho represented regional director Minda Brigoli, during the turn-over ceremony. Parajes clarified that DSWD allotted Php 1,300,000 for the said projects from the Grassroots Participatory Budgeting Process (GPBP) fund. “These GPBP projects of Anticala and Pianing made use of the CommunityDriven Development (CDD) strategy of the DSWD’s KapitBisig Laban sa KahirapanComprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS),” added Parajes.
Moral Recovery Program Officer Pastor Charlie Prior, representative of City Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr., disclosed the partnership of city local government unit (CLGU) of Butuan with DSWD in this endeavor through the provision of technical assistance and a local counterpart contribution (LCC) amounting to Php 250,000 (rough estimate). “This early childhood care project will be the landmark in your place of the feat of our unity,” Pastor Prior remarked. “The CDD process is really an example of the true meaning of democracy wherein people, even those marginalized IP sectors, get the privilege to lead the implementation of their needed community facilities, which one way or another, address their problems of poverty,” expressed Anticala Punong Barangay Armando Boligol. Tribal Chieftain Ruben Dapeniagan, or Hawudon Buhay, also expressed his thanks to the national and local governments for the day care center project that he, and his fellow villagers received. “It is in our capability trainings and seminars that we have pondered that
education really matters, and so, most concerned people in this village participated for this to be realized,” Hawudon Buhay said. “This Project realized the plans and visions of the tribe. It will address the problem of education in this sitio,” he added. Pianing Tribal Chieftain and also Barangay Project Management Committee (BPMC) chairperson Edbert Javier, or Hawudon Subangan, shared that before the Project started, their community dreamt of a day care center since they are in a far-flung location. “It was not easy to be a volunteer, we had undergone many difficulties especially in the transportation of materials since the supplier’s equipment has to pass in the three rivers and need to traverse a muddy and rocky road,” emotionally shared Hawudon Subangan. “Our efforts as volunteers finally paid off. Now, our children have a comfortable and conducive place for them to be educated at their early age and the parents can focus in their livelihood works,” he concluded. (Eunice G.

The lady executive congratulated the members of the Monitoring and Evaluation of Local Level Planning Implementation (MELLPI) in supervising and coordinating with all 79 barangay officials, health workers and other stakeholders for a concerted undertaking in declining the prevalence rate of malnutrition by 12.7% in 2008 and significantly reduced to 5.3% in the first quarter of 2013 and went down to 4.3% in the first quarter of 2014 according to Risonar, the nutrition action officer. Mayor Guingona fully supported and encouraged the CNC to continue implementing necessary initiatives with the working force from the offices of the executive, budget, planning, agriculture, veterinary, social welfare, accounting, treasury, social services with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Education (DepEd), Red Cross and DXRG Radyo Ng Bayan. She further motivated punong barangays, midwives, nutrition scholars, health workers and other supportive groups to sustain their advocacy in deleting the prevalent record of malnutrition. Being the chairperson of the Philippine Red Cross, she continues her feeding program as her concrete manifestation of support on nutrition program to various barangays. (Buboy Pabia/ CIO)

Marine fish-caging in NorMin shows signs of recovery By APIPA P. BAGUMBARAN
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - Fish produced through marine fishcaging in Northern Mindanao has shown signs of recovery during the first quarter of 2014, according to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) in the region. “It is worth noting that fish caging has finally recovered in the first quarter of the year,” said Engr. Cecilio Y. Clarete, chief economic development specialist of NEDA-10 in a media forum last week. He said fish produced through
marine fish-caging significantly increased by almost 68 percent to 613.48 metric tons (MT) compared to the 310.58 MT produced in the same quarter last year. Clarete said the favorable harvest was noted in Misamis Oriental province and in Lopez Jaena, Plaridel and Sapang Dalaga in Misamis Occidental. Overall, the fishery industry in Northern Mindanao showed positive output during the quarter with a total production of 35,821.98 MT, slightly higher by one percent compared to last year’s first quarter level. Both commercial and munici-
pal fishing posted increases during the quarter due to abundant supply of sardines in February and March and more dispersal of tilapia fingerlings in the rivers and dams. Commercial fishing output went up by four percent to 9,256.49 MT in the first quarter. Output from municipal fishing likewise rose by one percent during the quarter reaching 9,707.86 MT. The positive growth in outputs from commercial and municipal fishing has offset the slight decrease in aquaculture production. Aquaculture pro duction, which contributed 47 percent
of the total fishery production decreased by 0.26 percent, from last year’s first quarter level of 16,901.67 MT to 16,857.63 MT, this year. The negative growth in aquaculture production was partly due to the two percent decline in seaweeds production, which accounts for bulk of aquaculture total production. Clarete said the downward performance of seaweeds production was due to the negative yield of alvarezii caused by continuous rain brought about by low pressure area and typhoon Agaton in January this year.

THERE are more pluses than minuses for the nation to safely assume that when the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) was conceived up to its actual implementation the Aquino administration knew for a fact it was dangerously treading on unconstitutional grounds. For President Aquino and the DAP’s architect, Budget Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad, to claim otherwise is pure mental dishonesty on their part. To deny prior knowledge is pure hogwash also. So why did they tread on such ground if they knew it was unconstitutional? At the time of its conception and implementation in 2011, DAP’s unconstitutionality was just presumed. It became unconstitutional only thus illegal when the
A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II Supreme Court ruled it to be such. Prior to that ruling the presumption of regularity in the performance of their function or duty on the part of Aquino and Abad in conceiving and in implementing DAP is present. It is up to those who would not want to accord them such presumption to prove before the court of law that the duo acted in blatant disregard of the law and the constitution. And
that would be another issue. But why did Aquino and Abad chose to implement this budget impounding program that the Supreme Court no less said was not bad per se based on its intentions but still declared it unconstitutional? T h o s e of you w h o watched the first game of the Philippine Basketball Association’s Governor’s Cup Finals series last week must have raised quizzical eyebrows also for the refer-
ee’s non-call of an apparent foul on Paul Lee, the Rain or Shine Elasto Painter’s prized guard, in the last seconds of the game that could have sent it either to overtime or victory for the latter’s team. A technical expert sitting as a separate one-man panel assisting the fans and the game anchors understand the technical intricacies of each game in the Finals including the referees’ calls or non-calls explained that the referee could have either called it a foul or not. That the referee did not call it a foul was a judgment call on his part, a privilege granted him by the rules. In conceiving and in implementing the DAP it was also a judgment call on the part of Aquino and Abad. DAP as what we’ve See PRIOR, page 11
Society’s handicapped and social weaklings REFUSAL and compassion characterize society’s attitude as regards social weaklings and handicapped people. It’s a topic which one gladly drives out, represses or tries to forget. I have written about it several times, although I have missed more about that topic. Even in different groups, some segments of society are distant from them. The socially discriminated and handicapped people don’t correspond to performance, work, capacity, stress and competition in our aily surroundings. Opinions like these - well, that’s how
Have my say Klaus Doring people do it. The anti-social slum inhabitant has not accepted his responsibility, and the anti-social confidence trickster, certainly not blind and without having difficulty walking, doesn’t believe in us. That’s it! Finished! The bobom the alcoholic,
the without means gentleman of the road - so what! Did everybody not choose his own living condition? In plain words: the ideals of success, ability, efficiency and competitiveness in our performance-oriented society and its business life describe such fringe groups
as “standard violators”, such as in failure, flop or sacker. But remember: a tax evasion is more costly than a social welfare client. Do you have a social weakling or handicapped people in your surroundings - in your company? Honestly but true: hindrance and handicap drive into poverty many times. Prevailing opinion is that poverty is going for a fault. The affected people draw back themselves with a sensible sense of shame. Most handicapped people feel isolated in their See weaklings, page 11
Daily Inspiration As For Me But as for me, I will always proclaim what God has done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. (NLT) -Psalm 75:9
Juvy Sarraga
A lot of people take pleasure in boasting about themselves and their success. It’s because they need to make themselves feel valued. It takes a humble person to not deceive themselves into taking credit for their own accomplishments. The person who feels valued by God will boast about all that God has done for them. Everything comes into perspective as you grow in relationship with your heavenly Father. What praises are you singing to the God?

BOC seizes ‘Class A’ fake designer bags and apparel T wo s h i p m e n t s o f counterfeit goods composed of “Class A” bags and branded clothing worth at least P200 million were apprehended by the Bureau of Cu stoms ( B O C ) at the Manila International Container Port (MICP). The f irst shipment, a 20-foot container van that arrived from China last March was consigned to Bangladesh Business C or p o r at i on a n d w a s declared as unbranded T- s h i r t s , c a r g o s h o r t pants, leggings and plastic slippers,” B u t u p o n p hy s i c a l examination, IT revealed almost 5,000 pieces of faked apparel labeled with brands such as “Nike,” “Adidas,” “US Polo,” “Lee,” “Aeropostale” and “H&M.” The cargo was subject of an Alert Order from the BOC’s Enforcement Group and the entire contents examined last week. The other shipment, a 40-foot container that arrived last May from China, was consigned to NSGV Trading and was declared to contain assorted women’s blouses; polyester cotton fabric; polyester women’s pants, jackets, coats and scarves; board paper; ladies’ canvas shoes; PVC flooring; assorted plastic cases; belts and caps; and skateboards. However, the proprietor of the said firm denied ownership of the shipment, prompting customs authorities to subject the shipment to an Alert Order and sub s e qu e nt 1 0 0 % inspection.
Physical examination found over 15,960 assorted undeclared items, many of which were counterfeit or “Class A” luxury bag models like the “Hermes Evelyne” and “Hermes Lindy; “Ralph L au re n R i ck y ” ; “ Tor y Burch Ella” tote; “Prada Saffiano Lux” tote; “Celine Phantom”; “Michael Kors Selma” satchel and “Michael Kors Jet Set” tote and the “Burberry Susana” hobo tote. Also found were fake “Fitflop Fleur” sandals’ “Lacoste” wallets and tote bags; “Ray-Ban” eyewear; as well as clothing and footwear bearing local brands “Onesimus” and “Una Rosa.” Willie Tolentino, Director of the bureau’s Enforcement and Security Service, said
that both shipments will be subjected to seizure and forfeiture proceedings, after which the seized fake goods will be destroyed. “Commissioner John Sevilla has directed us to take the issue of the entry of go o d s t h at v i o l at e intellectual property rights more seriously. It is not about the value of the actual goods in question here, but the negative impact of counterfeit goods to legitimate businesses in the country,” he said in a statement. Customs authorities have also coordinated with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines to alert the brand owners. The consignees and their customs brokers are also under investigation
for smuggling and related cases as well as violation of Republic Act (RA) 8293, or the Intellectual Property (IP) Code of the Philippines. From January to June 2014, the inter-agency National Committee on Intellectual Property Rights (NCIPR), which includes the BOC, seized counterfeit products worth over P6.8billion. Last April, intensified efforts against the proliferation of fake goods p ro mp t e d t h e Un i t e d States Trade Representative (USTR) to remove the Philippines from the Special 301 Watch List, an annual report of countries with weak enforcement and observance of intellectual property laws, after nearly 20 years of being on it.

Ranking female NPA leader nabbed in Zambo Peninsula
Z
AMBOANGA del Norte - A ranking female New People's Army (NPA) leader was nabbed by militiamen under the 20th Special Forces Company during operations in Sitio Guigang, Barangay Guibo, Siayan town, Zamboanga Del Norte on July 7, 2014. Capt. Franco Suelto, 1st Infantry Division spokesperson, said the troops were on routine security patrol when fired upon by a band of NPA guerillas, including arrested rebel leader Mercy B. Maghinay around 12 noon the other day. Return fire from gov-
ernment troopers forced the NPAs to retreat leaving Maghinay behind along with one .45 caliber pistol, one hand grenade, one shotgun and PHP100,000 in cash. Suelto said Maghinay is believed to be the top leader of local NPA group
“Feliciano Bravo” frequenting the hinterlands of Zamboanga Del Norte. Her group was also said to be responsible in the burning of construction equipments approximately worth PHP50.3 million pesos in Sitio Gusay, Barangay Titik, Sindangan,Zamboanga Del Norte last Nov. 19. Last month in Zamboanga Del Norte, the NPA also left a female member behind after an engagement with 10th Infantry Battalion which eventually prompted her to surrender to the operating troops.
“The incident was the latest on the strings of captured or surrendered NPA. After hiding several years in General Santos City, Maghinay was previously arrested by virtue of different warrant of arrest related to her crimes as top leader of NPA in Oct. 5, 2008. She opted to rejoin her comrades which reflects the dwindling and weak Mayor Beng Climaco and City Agriculturist Diosdado leadership of the NPA in Palacat on Sunday listen, as residents of Mangga, Western Mindanao that Bolong relay how the tornado or whirlwind (ipo-ipo in the hit the area.

Massage therapists want to remain near Davao city hall
D
By Lorie Ann Cascaro
AVAO CITY — Massage therapists who used to accommodate customers at Osmeña Park here wanted to continue their business near the city hall. “We hope that the city government would allow us to work here at least once a week,” Jun Laurente, one of the masseurs, told MindaNews. Some 150 therapists did massage services to their customers who were seated on monoblock plastic chairs in the street between the city hall and Velasco bookstore on Sunday evening. They were removed from Osmeña Park along with ambulant vendors and chess players since it has been rehabilitated. Laurente said over 300 masseurs had been making a living at the park in the last eight years. But since a few months ago, at least half of them had never showed up again after the Technical Education and Skills Authority (TESDA) required training
and certification for massage therapists. “All of us here now have National Certification from TESDA,” he added. City Administ rator Melchor Quitain said Monday he called for the park’s rehabilitation after news came out that it was being used for sex and other activities. The city government planned to put up fences around the park, additional lights and other facilities such as two closed-circuit television cameras. Quitain said the park will be re-opened before the end of July. He said the park had become a place that some people used as a toilet and where they slept, aside from being a “sex area”, according to the news. Asked where he planned
to transfer the masseurs, he said, “Saan sila galing? Balik sila kung saan sila galling” (Where did they come from? They should go back to where they came from). Earlier reports said alleged sexual activities happened in the park resulting to its rehabilitation and prohibition of massage services there. However, masseur Estrella Buc-ong told MindaNews that nobody among them admitted the alleged sexual act nor mentioned about witnessing it during their general meetings. “It’s impossible to do that in an open space without any of us noticing it,” she argued. She added a government official wanted to displace them because massaging in public is “dili nindot tanawon” (not pleasant to see). Councilor Al Ryan Ale-
jandre, chair of the committee on tourism and beautification of the city council, said Monday Yusof Jimlani, chief of the city demolition unit, will find a better place for the masseurs as ordered by Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. But Alejandre said he has nothing against the masseurs as they are just trying to earn a living. The masseurs charge less than established massage parlors — P40 an hour for head massage, P60 for legs, and P80 for back. They also offer whole body massage for two hours at P200 but they will do it inside a massage clinic nearby. “We earn more this way,” Laurente said, adding that when he used to work in a massage clinic, he only received 30 percent of the total income. “But now I give 10 percent of my income to the owner.” (Lorie Ann Cascaro/MindaNews)

Davao coconut farmers wary over "cocolisap" infestation By Digna D. Bnzon
DAVAO CITY - The coconut farmers of Davao expressed apprehension over the possible spread of “cocolisap” infestation to the region from Calabarzon or Southern Tagalog region. In an interview, Benjamin R. Lao, president and CEO of Lao Integrated Farms, Inc., said they had been introducing basic prevention in their crops if only to address possible infestation of the insect. Lao has 40 hectares of coconut farms in the municipalities of Bansalan, Hagonoy, Matanao, Sulop, Padada, Sta. Maria and Malalag in Davao del Sur. He said with the big area of their production areas "grabe gyud ang kahadlok namo (We really feared)” of this infestation as this will lead to reduction of our yield and production.

hospitals will not be overburdened when treating the victims. But, the city government must be able to address the financial aspect of such arrangement. It was also decided to conduct bombing incident drill at night to measure how the capability of the CDRRMC in responding to such a more difficult challenge. Assistant Administrator Lapeciros accepted these lapses, but said they just have motivated the CDRRMC members to conduct more drills to improve their responses toward bombing incidents, which are expected to happen with greater probability considering the peace and order condition of the country. The evaluation session ended with the realization that these are all for the welfare of the people of Malaybalay City and its investors.

He revealed that his buyer in the international market is asking about the insect infestation and they express apprehension of the chemical treatment of the coconut trees. Lao Integrated Farms, Inc. is exporting all organic products and we are accredited for our production, he said. On the other hand, Dr. Liberte Canja, department manager of Davao Research Center, Philippine Coconut Authority said there are several coconut scale insects present among coconut farms in the country. She said what is endemic in Davao is the A. destructor while the scale pest infestation in Calabarzon is the A. rigudos. She explained that A. destructor has been there but has not been affecting coconut trees.
She said the outbreak in Calabarzon happened because of the change in temperature. CSIs thrive during the hot season. "Our research is continuing as well as our monitoring," she said. Canja said with the team effort of their office, the Department of Agriculture (DA), Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) and Department of Sciene and Technology (DOST) steps have been done and foremost of this is the control of the spread. Check points have been set up, she said as entry of coconut seedlings are ban that is why there are inspection set up in the airport and seaport and the land transportation terminals. She also said that there are already protocols designed inorder to contain and control the spread of "cocolisap". (PNA)

contribution in improving the country’s gross domestic product to 7.2 percent is a myth for it is not supported by facts. I’ll leave it to the economic experts to debate on this and simply learn from them. But even the Supreme Court did not belittle the contribution of DAP in pump-priming the economy in its own decision. The Court just justified its axing the DAP, or parts of it, as not in conformity with the constitution by saying good intentions and the resultant good that it may produce still could not make an unconstitutional act constitutional. Should Aquino then be impeached because of DAP? I am personally reluctant about this move for the cost, not only economicwise but political as well as social, it may bring to the nation. It’s too costly for the nation to bear. But I’ll respect those who’ll push for his impeachment. However, I’d rather see the Makabayan solons filing such complaint rather than for the House of Representatives to give due course to the complaints separately filed by lawyer Oliver Lozano and former Iloilo Rep. Augusto Syjuco. And in the case of Abad, the role he played in conceiving and in implementing DAP is too heavy for the daang matuwid mantra of the Aquino administration to bear. The noblest thing he should do now is leave DBM for his own sake, for the sake of Aquino and the nation. •• (Reactions at jelbacon@ yahoo.com or at jelbaconii@gmail.com.

from MOPH doctors for outpatients, free hospitalization, free medicines and laboratory services in the eight provincial hospitals. For individuals admitted to private hospitals, assistance may vary depending on the cash availability of the province. Also, MisOr CareS provides assistance to special and critical cases such as individuals who have heart, kidney and lungs ailments and are admitted to special treatment centers. Another barangay-based health program dubbed as Himsog MisOr is implemented wherein free medical and dental services will be delivered every day to the barangays including information education campaign on health programs of the province. On the other hand, social services include medicine assistance to special laboratory procedures, blood assistance, scholarship assistance, senior citizens’ benefits, calamity assistance, and the four-in-one assistance when member of a family dies, encompassing free embalming services, free coffin, free transportation services within the province, and can borrow tents from the province. ‘MisOr CareS saved my life’ Although MisOr CareS has been formally launched only this month, its benefits and services were experienced by the Misamisnons already. Rosita Salvaleon, a resident of Barangay Waterfall in the municipality of Balingasag cried as she narrated how MisOr CareS saved her life after giving birth to her eleventh child at MOPHBalingasag. “Wala ko magdahom nga mabuhi pa ako, pagpanganak nako nagluya na kaayo ko. Sauna ako raman bana magtabang nako apan karon nga nagpadala ako sa hospital, ako nga pamahala na kay wala man gayud kami’y ikabayad sa hospital,” Salvaleon said. “Pag-abot nako sa hospital, diretso ang mga nurse og doctor nag-atiman nako, aduna sila mga ipangtupok, akong giwakli kay wala lagi kami’y ibayad. Apan gipasabot ko sa nurse nga libre na tanan og wala na ako’y angay huna-hunaon pa kay anaa ang MisOr CareS makatabang nako,” she added. “Una wala gayud ako pa makasabot apan sa pagkadungog nako nga libre, nagpatupok na ako sa dextrose diha dayon. Og paghuman nako panganak, maski isa ka sintabos, wala kami’y gibayran sa hospital, libre pa akong tambal,” she said while wiping her tears. “Grabe nga kalipay akong gibati, pati akong tambal nalibre, sukad-sukad wala na ako magtuo nga aduna pa’y libre karon
labi na kung ikaw ma-hospital, apan tungod aning MisOr CareS, tinood gyud diay nga aduna pay libre og aduna pay gobernador nga naghuna-huna sa among kaayuhan og panginahanglanon, labi na sama nako nga uyamot gayud,” she expressed. Teodora B. Camay from barangay Looc in the municipality of Salay was diagnosed with Diabetes Milletus and was admitted for nine days yet did not pay a single centavo upon discharge. “Dako akong bill, mga P13, 000 pero wala ako’y nabayran maski piso,” Camay said. Felix Quipanes from barangay Alicumuhan, Sugbongcogon diagnosed with tuberculosis and was admitted for five days, still did not pay a single centavo. “Kini dako kaayo nga tabang sa matag lumulupyo dinhi sa probinsya, wala sukad nga wala gayud ako’y gibayran, karon pa. Dako kaayo kini nga tabang,” Quipanes stressed.
