Duterte admin will never negotiate with ASG, BIFF mindanaodailynews@gmail.com

COTABATO City––Incoming Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Secretary Jesus Dureza on Friday clarified that the Duterte administration will never negotiate with extremist Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) the way it will negotiate with communist movement and Bangsamoro rebel groups.

Dureza issued the state-

ment amid reports quoting him that the incoming Duterte government is open to peace talks with extremist and bandit groups.

He said the stance of Aquino government against the ASG and BIFF remains and will be carried over to the next administration.

Dureza who flew Friday to Paris en-route to Oslo, Norway for an informal meeting with communist

leader Jose Maria Sison, stressed that he, as peace adviser to President-elect Rodrigo Duterte, will not talk peace with the extremists.

The ragtag BIFF was composed of former Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels who broke away in 2008. The government has sealed a peace deal with the MILF. Dureza admitted having

negotiated with the ASG for the safe release of his friend, Canadian tourist John Ridsel. But quickly added that in was not in the context government had talked with MILF, MNLF and the communist rebels.

“True, I have even directly negotiated with the ASG just recently to seek the release of my friend John Ridsel, whom they nevertheless beheaded as the

families could not raise the demanded ransom amount,” Dureza said.

“But negotiating with them (ASG/BIFF) in the context of what we are doing with the Bangsamoro and the CPP/NPA/NDF is definitely not the way forward,” Dureza added.

“They have to face the force of the law for their terrorism and criminal acts,” he said of the terrorist or-

ganizations in southern Philippines.

On his trip to Oslo, Dureza was accompanied by incoming Secretary Silvestre Bello III and former Congressman Hernani Braganza.

“We look forward to a fruitful meeting under the auspices of the Norwegian Government in the sidelines of the Oslo Forum,” Dureza said. philippine news agency

Family feud: PWC members choose new officers; election questioned

By Antonio L. Colina IV of MindaNews

DAVAO City––At least 12 members of the Philippine Women’s College in Davao City elected a new set of board of trustees and a new school president in their annual meeting on Thursday, but the acting president said the meeting was improper and unauthorized.

On orders from acting PWC president Conrado Benitez, security guards barred the members from entering the campus.

Lawyer Aileen Lizada explained to the guards that the school’s by-laws allows them to hold meetings inside the campus, to no avail, forcing them to hold the meeting and election at the entrance gate.

Elected as trustees were Lizada, Patricia Sareñas, Evelyn Laviña, Philippine Women’s University president Dr. Francisco Benitez, Marco Benitez, and Suzie Benitez. Laviña has been named by President-elect Rodrigo Duterte as agriculture undersecretary.

Elected as new school president was Dr. Nilda Jinete, whose appointment

Barred. Members of the Philippine Women’s College in Davao City hold their annual meeting Thursday (June 9, 2016) at the school entrance after security guards refused them entry reportedly on orders from acting PWC president Conrad Benitez.

The members elected a new set of board of trustees and a new president.

MindaNews photo by Gregorio Bueno would take effect Friday, Dr. Francisco Benitez said.

But the acting president, in an interview Friday at his office, countered that Thursday’s meeting was improperly called for having no authorization from the chair and him as acting president. “ They attempted to convene a meeting within the PWC premises. I had

received notice of this because other members of the corporation had informed me about it but I did not get the information directly myself. I wrote to them this meeting cannot be properly called for, does not have the members of the corporation, and is unauthorized by the chairman and president of the school, thus we cannot set this meeting. They in-

sisted in coming and I had the security guards blocked them at the gate,” he said.

He added he will call for another meeting on June 17, Friday, to settle issues.

Former senator Helena Benitez serves as chair of PWC, which is registered as a non-stock, non-profit academic institution.

PWU-PWC Alumni Foundation of Davao Inc. president Maria Loreto A. Lopez told MindaNews Thursday that Mr. Conrado Benitez wanted to delay the election of the new trustees.

“As alumni, away namin kasi we have seen how he mismanaged the school.

Dapat OIC (officer-incharge) lang siya in the office of the president. But when he was OIC, sige niya i-extend ang term nya,” she said.

She alleged the acting wanted to remain in power and even sought for a twoyear extension of his term, which was supposed to expire three months after he assumed the position in 2013, replacing cousin Amelia Lourdes Benitez-Reyes.

Benitez-Reyes was president for 10 years.

“Conrado Benitez, who was appointed officer-incharge in an interim capacity three years ago, has made it clear that he would like to be installed as president of the venerable Davao institution despite several handicaps including his not being Davao-based and PWU’s Board of Trustees deciding otherwise,” a briefer from the Benitez family stated.

The 15 members of the institution, nine of them from the Benitez family, wanted the new school president to come from Davao City.

Lopez, former school assistant vice president, said Mr. Conrado Benitez is based in Manila and seldom went to Davao and would only come during graduation ceremonies and meetings.

She surmised that the acting president was delaying the meeting so that members could not replace him. She said that in a previous meeting, he promised to step down after the board elects a new president.

“Conrad does not want it pushed through. He has the feeling that the board will elect another president,” she said.

She said the board wondered why Mr. Conrado Benitez was trying to delay the election when there are many qualified nominees for the position.

“Pano sya mag-lead if he is are not here. Yung ang experience if Benitez was president, hindi sya dumadating dito. Why, is davao lacking (of a potential president)?”

Mr. Conrado Benitez, however, said he had no intent of staying as president but just wanted to make the school more competitive before turning it over to a successor.

“I will not stay any longer if we can sort these problems out and make sure that the person we have in Davao is competently capable. I

have no intention of perpetuating myself in power.

I am Manila-based and have many other things to do. PWC has become very close to my heart,” he said.

Illegitimate members Mr. Conrado Benitez said some members of the Benitez family attended the December 10, 2015 meeting convened by the chair at her residence in Manila which he said was more like a “family caucus”.

But the chair was absent during the meeting due to health concerns, he said.

He recalled there was a suggestion to increase the number of members while noting that PWC has only three members. Thursday’s meeting was attended by 12 out of 15 members.

He contested the legitimacy of the 15 members, who included him and cousin Amelia Lourdes, as PWC members and the names should be treated as nominees.

“I did not find out until later that my relatives sent letters (to the nominees) signed by my aunt that they were elected new members.

They had the signature of my aunt who was not even there. A lot of them (nominees) accepted,” he said.

“To accept that they are members of the corporation is already a fallacy. Hindi pwede yun (That could not be). How can you come up with a set of trustees and officers when the basic principle of calling the meeting was fraud,” he said.

On Thursday, PWU president Dr. Francisco Benitez said that they stood their ground and claimed they made sure that they followed proper protocols in calling for a meeting.

He said that their school in Davao is already doing good but with the election of new trustees and a new president they are expecting stability in terms of corporate governance. (Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews)

Integrated History Act awaits PNoy’s signature

SENATOR Sonny Angara has called for the signing into law of a bill that mandates the integration of Filipino-Muslim and indigenous peoples’ history, culture and identity in the study of Philippine history in both basic and higher education in the country.

The proposed Integrated History Act, which was recently passed by both houses of Congress, is now awaiting the signature of President Benigno Aquino III. “There is a need to integrate the history, culture and identity studies of Filipino-Muslims and indigenous people in the grand narrative of Philippine history if we want to create an inclusive history that accounts for all Filipinos,” said Angara, principal author of the bill.

The measure mandates

concerned agencies of the government to consult recognized experts on FilipinoMuslim and indigenous peoples’ history, culture and identity in the formulation of the curriculum for an inclusive and integrative study of Philippine history, including the writing, printing and publication of textbooks and other reading materials.

Angara stressed that one way of effectively instilling further understanding of Filipino-Muslim and indigenous peoples’ history, culture and identity in the minds of the youth is by including such subjects in the education system.

“As the country elected its first president from Mindanao, it is high time that we aim for a more inclusive study of our history to foster a culture of peace in the

country,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Department of Education (DepEd) in Region 10 has earlier launched the Indigenous Peoples Education curriculum in 40 schools all over the region.

Under DepEd Order 32-2015, indigenous culture is embedded in contextualizing the K to 12 curriculum based on their respective educational and social contexts.

It was learned that there are nine indigenous tribes in Northern Mindanao. These are the Higaonon, Manobo, Bukidnon, Subanen, Talaandig, Tigwahanon, Umayamnon, Matigsalug and Kamigin.

Bukidnon has the most number of schools where the indigenous curriculum will be

The front page stories CULTURE, tradition and practices differ in some countries. In Pakistan recently, a mother burned her 16-year-old daughter to death because the latter chose a man she married out of love. In a separate incident, another teenage girl was killed by villagers when she eloped with a man.

Several similar stories took place in the country which are unknown in other places.

000 In the state of Florida, USA, a crocodile was captured with a human being on its mouth. There is place in the same state where some people go fishing and were attacked by alligators and since then they never appeared again. One time my family brought me to a small place in Texas where there is a crocodile farm. I saw several crooks roaming around, swimming and others pretending to be dead and not moving just watching as people who might fall into their mouths. There is a small restaurant that sells crocodile burgers. I tasted one and it was so nice.

000 Pres. Noy Aquino is going to Brunei for an overnight stay to attend a meeting of Asian nations. And he will spend the taxpayers money to the tune of seven-million pesos. This amount I estimate can go a long way to buy rice and give it to the poor farmers who are struggling the harshness of life due to the long dry season that damaged their farms.

000 The towns of Balingasag, Lagonglong and Salay are still the war zones in the fight between government

troopers and the New Peoples Army. I wish both combatants would move to an area far in the mountains where civilians can be safe.

Right now there is an exodus of evacuees disturbed by the flying bullets up in the skies. Better still stop the fight between two groups of Filipinos, shake hands and give peace a chance.

000 President-elect Digong Duterte is not afraid of the media. The media in return is not afraid of anything, whether you are a chief executive of a small nation or a world leader, much less Digong who retreated from a fistfight with Mar Roxas during the political campaign. If Digong would shy from a media interview as he said once, he might end up a villain and a victim of criticisms from early morning to late evening.

000 I wish to say again that there are three things that we must watch closely, namely: our eyes, mouth and ears. We need all these parts 000 Elections, the favorite past time of the Filipinos are over. I reiterate my suggestion to standardize congress

and other important agencies in the government.

I mean congress must be professionalized where only members who hold college degrees should be allowed to run as lawmakers. This is law-making body and we need people with intelligence and not just any man alive. Some congressmen know nothing but converting small towns into cities the reason why we have so many cities now around the country. And we pay them huge salaries and allowance just wearing the Barong Tagalog and smiling. The media are laughing.

000 After each election, many become jobless. There will be a change of command and of personalities. The staff of the losers have to pack up things and leave while the victorious get in and enjoying the beauty of new jobs. This is one bad effects of such exercise.

There will be teardrops in the eyes of some losers to be followed by hunger and deprivation.

000 We have been talking about Duterte and illegal drugs, but the department of health never came out with anything that would inform the public why these drugs are prohibited. What are the effects of these drugs when taken by people. I urge the health department to wake up sometimes and say a word or two. Show to the public what drug addiction is all about and why people go into such horrible vice.

000 I was listening to a TV newscast and noticed that

Get Over It

Think a minute…

A young mother said that she never really appreciated her parents until she had children of her own. Only then did she realize all her parents had gone through in raising her. The sacrifices her parents made, the things they put up with and went without so they could feed and clothe her, pay her school fees, take care of her when she was sick, and the list went on and on.

But there are sometimes we can feel hurt or angry about things our parents did to us as children. Maybe you feel they were too hard and strict, or your parents treated you unfairly and differently from your brothers and sisters, or they even physically abused you. You might feel they didn’t really love you, or spend enough time with you when you were young.

Friend, it may be true that your parents treated you wrongly, so it is completely understandable that you have feelings of hurt and

revolution and 23 years after the Philippine Senate kicked the U.S. bases out of the Philippines, the Americans are back at the request of the Philippine government. Why? The toppling of the Marcos dictatorship in 1986 whipped up nationalistic fervor among the new intelligentsia who saw an opportunity to create a society free of foreign influence and interference. It was a period of unbridled nationalism that blamed the malaise of the past on America’s perceived meddling in the Philippines’ national affairs.

It did not then come as a surprise that the 1987 Constitution was crafted to prohibit foreign military bases on Philippine soil.

Article XVIII, Section 25, of the new constitution states that “foreign military bases, troops, or facilities shall not be allowed in the Philippines except under a treaty duly concurred in by the Senate and, when the Congress so requires, ratified by a majority of the votes cast by the people

DENR calls on urgent PNP Caraga needs new cops rehab of the seas

BUTUAN City -- Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Caraga regional director Nonito M. Tamayo echoed the urgent call of Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB) Director Theresa Mundita S. Lim on the need to rehabilitate the seas to secure its ability to produce sufficient food supply for the current and future generations.

“The people particularly those living along the coastal community shall stop disposing garbage in the seas to prevent further damage to coral reefs and marine life,” Tamayo said.

“If we lose them, we will lose our supply of food and other needs,” Lim said.

“We need to preserve and restore healthy and productive oceans with rich marine biodiversity,” she added.

The DENR officials is-

sued the call as the nation recently celebrated the Month of the Ocean (MOO) last May, with the theme “Biodiversity for Food SeaCUREity” that emphasizes the importance of marine biodiversity to food security.

Lim said our marine resources are under severe threat from habitat loss, climate change, ocean acidification, pollution, and overexploitation in commercial fisheries.

“We need to inform the public on the relevance of biodiversity in sustaining people and livelihoods,” Lim said.

She reminded the people to care for the ecosystem’s diversity that includes the forests, mangroves, seagrass beds, coral reefs, and mud flats. “They have their own vital functions and

roles in the development of marine-based livelihood, agriculture, and fisheries sectors,” she said.

The Philippines is the 5th among the only 17 megadiverse countries in the world declared by Conservation International in 1998. Its terrestrial and marine ecosystems are habitats for different birds, sea creatures, plants, and other animals.

Big things come in small packages – Suzuki Celerio CVT When it comes to small economy cars, Suzuki seem to know their stuff. Case in point, the all-new Celerio. The new Celerio not only offers fuel-efficiency, you get a bit of performance as well. This little car is powered by an equally tiny 998 cc three-cylinder DOHC 12V K10B engine which produces 67 hp @ 6000 rpm and 90 Nm @ 3500 rpm. Such

modest figures endow the 1260-kilogram Celerio perky acceleration, making it ideal in urban setting.

As expected of a car in this category, the Celerio is quite fuel efficient. It is able to achieve an average of 10.3 kilometers per liter in city traffic and around 12.9 kilometers to a liter on the highway (with a heavy foot on

the pedal). However, if you would rather have a fun car rather than a frugal one, press the Sport Mode button on the gear shift lever and squeeze every bit of grunt from the three-banger power plant.

The Celerio will fit five average-sized adults comfortably and the doors open wide to allow easy entry.

The cabin also has plenty

of headroom to give the occupants a more spacious feel. The modest luggage space at the back offer a decent 254-liter capacity which can take two large suit cases. Fold the rear seats and you’ll be able to throw in a significant amount of cargo. At P 549, 000, you get dual airbags, side-impact beams and ABS. You also get

a defogger, immobilizer and keyless entry system.

Most buyers shy away from small cars because they are believed to be best suited only for female drivers.

Yet, everyone appreciates a car which offers safety, fuel efficiency and good value for money. Besides, there is certainly nothing girly about the way the Celerio drives.

Suzuki and TOTAL to give away 3 Ciaz units Suzuki Philippines and TOTAL Philippines are poised to make this summer unforgettable for their customers with a raffle promo that will give away 3 units of the all-new Suzuki Ciaz.

Recently launched in the Philippines, Suzuki Ciaz is the biggest subcompact sedan in its category and is packed with best-in-class fuel efficiency and other advanced features coupled with a sporty, elegant exterior design and redefined interiors.

Whether a family man, an adventurous person, a young professional or a person with an active lifestyle, everyone will find the Ciaz perfect for his or her needs.

The partnership

between Suzuki, which is a leading manufacturer of compact vehicles and TOTAL, one of the largest integrated oil and gas companies in the world, gives loyal customers a chance to drive their dream car. Every P500 worth of fuel purchase at participating TOTAL gas stations from April 15 to July 15, 2016entitles the customer to get one (1) raffle coupon. During the raffle draw, three lucky customers will be chosen to each bring home a Suzuki Ciaz GLX A/T car.

“Suzuki has established its reputation for quality, versatility and innovation and has created a heritage of

trust and reliability.

Partnering with TOTAL will help us bring the brand closer to its customers and to let those customers experience one of our best-in class vehicles, the all-new Ciaz. This

collaboration with TOTAL Philippines affirms our commitment to share the Suzuki Way of Life to a larger market.

With this, we would like to encourage everyone to go to the nearest TOTAL gas

station to get a chance to win an all-new Ciaz.” said Shuzo Hoshikura, General Manager of Suzuki Philippines for Automobile.

Barangay Recodo received a two-storey fourclassroom buildings worth Php6 million and Sitio Salum, Barangay San Roque got one-storey three-classroom project worth Php2 million.

The school building projects were constructed through the supervision of the Department of Public Works and Highways’ District Engineering Office.

Erwin Badeo, principal of Recodo National High School (RNHS), said the newly-completed school buildings will be utilized to accommodate the Senior High School students of RNHS in time for the opening of classes on June 13.

Badeo said the new school buildings will be very substantial and will entail a very conducive learning environment to students who are the first batch of senior high school enrollees in their school.

“Congressman Lobregat has been very material and instrumental to Recodo National High School, from its creation in 2009, to the procurement of the land area, establishment of land development and putting up of all the buildings here, fencing and all other structures for the students were initiated by him,” Badeo said.

Badeo said that with all the assistance given by Lobregat, RNHS was able to become a model high school in this city when it comes to its strategic planning in the disposition of school buildings and learning environment for secondary schools which for him and his faculty is indeed already a great accomplishment and honored recognition.

Recodo Barangay Chairperson Wahab Ibbah said that Lobregat is indeed very responsive not only to the

needs of Recodo National High School but also to the needs of Recodo Elementary School, where another construction of a school building is ongoing through Lobregat’s initiative.

Ibbah said that there are many other ongoing infrastructure projects requested by the barangay from the Congressman Lobregat in which the solon has responded positively.

Joseph Garcia, principal of Salum Elementary School in Barangay San Roque, said that after the devastating landslide few years ago, which wrecked their old school building in their old school site, they didn’t lose hope that one day, they will be blessed with a more suitable learning environment for the children of Salum who vehemently needs proper education.

well as our pupils until they will grow old, what Congressman Lobregat has done for us, we are happy that he is doing everything to help us. This school building is very vital for us and we will really take good care of this,” Garcia said.

Garcia also recounted the many times they have to cancel classes in the past due especially during rainy days because the environment is not cooperating, because of the mud, the pupils can no longer concentrate on their studies and the congested makeshift rooms still has to be divided into different grade levels just to accommodate everybody.

“With this additional three classroom buildings, we can now properly segregate our students and make their study hours favorable and comfortable as well, we give million thanks to our Congressman Lobregat for this, thank you Cong!”

Macrohon said that prior to the Salum Elementary School blessing, Lobregat also turned-over a threestore y nine-classro om

buildings in San Roque Elemenatary School, not to mention the passage of the law Republic Act 10812 – the Act establishing a National High School in San Roque to be known as San Roque National High School which was recently signed by President Simeon Benigno Aquino III. “The commitment of Congressman Lobregat in giving better education facilities to our children in District 1 is unsurmountable, I cannot say thank you now, because I know there are still more proposed school buildings to come,” Dr. Pedro Melchor Natividad, Department of Education (DepEd) assistant regional director, said.

Lobregat appealed to the RNHS faculty as well as the teachers of Salum Elementary School to take good care of their buildings and preserve it the way they did with the existing school buildings constructed by the Lobregat administration when he was still the mayor of this city.

The inauguration and turnover of the two new school buildings were witnessed by officials from DepEd, DPWH, city government and the recipientbarangays. (PNA)

The Perks of Professional Rivalry

Professional rivalry may seem absurd but I’ve come to believe we can learn important lessons from the very act of it if used as an opportunity for growth. Professional rivalries can be a powerful vehicle for self-discovery.

Learning where you are weak, how to think big and how to achieve greater heights professionally are some of its important advantages.

The biggest advantage of professional rivalry in the workplace is the spur of commitment to self-improvement. It instills a sense of desire in the employees to try and surpass their limits, effectively increasing overall productivity. While giving out incentives is a way to initiate competition, those who can think ahead can take it as an opportunity to improve themselves through performing excel-

lently. They are more willing to organize their workflow, improve their capabilities, and attain high reaching goals.

Workplace competition also is not simply limited at individuals. By grouping employees in teams you can create a sense of teamwork in the workplace, and the results obtained are vast.

Employees can become more open and friendly to their colleagues, thus making communication easier. It can also remove other employees from self-isolation, and teach them to rely more on their coworkers.

Professional rivalry is not an all an ultimate waste of time, it’s an opportunity to improve oneself professionally, a driving force, a motivation to work even harder and better towards achieving outstanding work results.

The Art of Discipline

By Adora D. Ponce Secondary School Teacher III Misamis Oriental General Comprehensive High School

In some circles the subject of discipline often spirals down into people regaling each other with tales of how their parents used to reprimand them, utilizing such colorful language and loud sound effects to describe how harsh their experience (with the belt, mongo beans, or the dreadful slipper) was. This would then be met with boisterous laughter as another person would then interject with his own experience.

However, by accepting this practice we seem to identify the act of discipline with punishment. When somebody proclaims that someone needs to be disciplined, most thoughts seem to gravitate towards physical action or temporary suspension of any personal belongings. Discipline, at its very core, is defined as teaching, or instructing.

Thus, it is important to think that discipline is not merely analogous to punishment, but is a way of teaching someone to be your disciple.

Most parents start with teaching their child to control their behavior, and it is also

here that parents make a common mistake.

They view their child’s actions from their own perspective, and scold them, label them as ‘bad’ for something that might had been a harmless accident. Perhaps a father, stressed out from work, might tell his son that he is a ‘bad child’ for accidentally slamming the door, simply because the child is energetic. They label the child ‘bad’ for actions that annoy them, yet is relatively harmless to others.

When a child does commit an action that requires discipline, the parent should never chide the child itself, but the act he had committed. It is important to know that there is a difference between telling a child that what he did was ‘bad’ and telling a child that he is ‘bad’. With the end goal in disciplining a child to help him foster a sense of independence and self-government, his self-respect will play a large role in helping him become a proper person, and to tarnish this self-respect will only harm both the parent and the child in the long run.

Meanwhile, employee volunteers of SM Lanang Premier, together with Security and Engineering agency personnel, reached out to the neighboring Ubalde Elementary School. Apart from cleaning and beautifying the school grounds and façade, they made a longstanding contribution by turning over newly built bookshelves to the school library. SM Lanang Premier also previously donated electric fans and educational textbooks to Ubalde Elementary School, which has a population of around 800 students.

In the same way, SM City Cagayan de Oro employees, together with SM Lifestyle Entertainment Inc. (SMLEI), Security Agency and Engineering Agency personnel, carried out their “Adopt-a-School” activity at Lumbia Central School.

They improved the comfort and convenience of the classrooms through general cleaning and repairing of broken ceilings, doors, and lights and plumbing works in the restrooms.

The “Adopt-a-School” activity is under SM Supermalls’ Employee Volunteerism Program, which encourages employees to give back to the community and the less privileged sectors of the society.

Some of them alleged that the money were donated by friends and relatives. There was no mention that giant corporations also helped some of them win the elections.

anger toward them. But now that you’re an adult, it’s not so much your parents but yourself whom you’re hurting by staying angry and bitter, refusing to forgive them. Unforgiveness and bitterness will only hurt yourself, because it poisons your heart and attitude toward life. What’s more, doctors have proven that unforgiveness and anger can cause physical suffering such as migrain headaches, stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, heart disease, and many other sicknesses.

Someone said that when we become adults, there comes a time when we have to “get over it.” We have to “let our parents off the hook.” We have to finally stop holding our parents on the hook of our anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness. For your own sake, you must let go of the hurt and forgive your parents, no matter what wrong and painful things they might have done to you in the past.

Remember, many times our parents were only doing what had been done to them by their own parents.

So God is their fair judge, not you.

ALL need God’s forgiveness for our many wrongs and hurts we’ve caused others. Jesus Christ said that we can never make our peace with Him and be forgiven, until we’ve made our peace and forgiven those people who have hurt and wronged us. This includes our parents! So why don’t you ask Jesus to give you His mercy and love, so you can finally reach out to your parents to forgive them, care for them, and honor them for all the good things they did do for you—before they’re gone and it’s too late.

The former three-term lawmaker of this city, who holds a doctorate degree in peace and security administration, has submitted last week her credentials to President-elect Rodrigo Duterte expressing her strong desire to head the Department of Tourism.

In her letter to Duterte, Plaza, vice president of PDPLaban for Mindanao, cited her rich experience in this field being the chairperson on the Committee on Tourism in the 8th, 9th and 10th Congress where she introduced several significant legislative measures that helped boost the industry.

“With my long experience in the tourism industry, I have developed my own vision of what, where and how to improve, change and fully develop this field to attain the overall progress of our people’s lives,” Plaza said.

Duterte has yet to name the cabinet post for the Department of Tourism which will be left vacant after Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez will relinquish his post on June 30 when the six-year term of President Aquino ends.

Plaza, the widow of the long-time Butuan City mayor Figurado Plaza, has been actively engaged in many initiatives the most significant of which was her being the principal author of Republic Act 7901 or the law creating the Caraga region which significantly

boost the tourism industry in this part of the country.

The formal creation of Caraga in 1995 has made a big impact in drawing wide interest from local and foreign tourists on the Balanghai Shrine where centuries-old Balanghai boats were preserved after then President Corazon Aquino declared it a National Cultural Treasure in March 9, 1987.

The shrine, located in Barangay Masao about five kilometers from the city, is believed to be where Magellan landed and first set foot in the Philippines.

“Being well-travelled worldwide, I have seen how tourist destinations were fully developed and progressed in many countries and I am morally charged to heed a shared responsibility to serve my abilities for the betterment of our country through tourism industry,” noted Plaza in her letter to Duterte.

Already, Plaza has laid down some outlook that would best suit an ideal tourism secretary among them were creativity, artistic sense, resourcefulness and entrepreneurial ability to economic, political and social reforms of the country.

She said her long stint in legislative work would give her an advantage to lobby for budget support and other resources needed for the much-needed promotion of the tourism industry.

She also believed her background in peace and security would give her an edge to ensure that foreign businesses interested to invest in the tourism industry in the country are assured of peace and order and safety and political stability.

If given the opportunity, Plaza has envisioned promotion of important tourism fields including agriculture, medical, sports , special economic zones, education and science and technology.

Wednesday’s signing of the supply contract was made amid calls for greater share of renewable energy in Mindanao’s power mix.

Hedcor Assistant Vice

President Darlene Arguelles expressed confidence that Hedcor will be able to “deliver as promised” ZANECO’s needed power supply once its 68.8-MW run-of-river power plant goes online in 2017.

Hedcor is now constructing, to the tune of Php12.5 billion, two cascading plants in Manolo Fortich, home of the first pineapple plantation in the Far East. Groundbreaking ceremony for the 43.4-MW Manolo Fortich Hydro 1 and the 25.4-MW Manolo Fortich Hydro 2 was held on April 22, 2015.

Together, the Manolo Fortich plants will generate of total of 360 gigawatt hour (GWh) of electricity every year.

“We praise the zealousness of ZANECO in ensuring they get renewable energy to meet the needs of their growing franchise area,” Arguelles said.

With ZANECO’s example, Hedcor is “looking forward to serve other electric cooperative as they strive to push renewable energy into their portfolios,” she added.

Hedcor’s power plants at present produce around 185 MWs of “Cleanergy”, the AboitizPower’s brand of clean and renewable energy.

The company hopes that electric cooperatives will take advantage of hydropower to create a balanced portfolio of energy sources.

Its Manolo Fortich plant, so far its largest project in Mindanao, is Hedcor’s show of commitment to sustain the growth of the island.

“We are here not only to support the growth of Mindanao economically, but also sustainably,” said AboitizPower First Vice President Rochell Donato Gloria.

Aside from the Manolo Fortich plant, Hedcor also owns and operates run-ofriver hydro power plants in Benguet, Mt. Province and Davao del Sur. In Mindanao, Hedcor delivers power to Davao Light and Co. through the Talomo, Sibulan and Tudaya power plants and the Davao del Sur Electric Cooperative (DASURECO) through its Tudaya power plant.

AboitizPower, through

its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is planning to develop another four to five hydropower plants in addition to its 22 hydropower plants already online in Benguet, Davao City, Davao del Sur, Ilocos Sur and Mt. Province to meet its target of 2 billionkilowatt hour (kWH) annual power generation by 2020.

It is also tapping geothermal energy sources and is set to start exploration and development of geothermal power plants in Mt. Apo and Mt. Sibulan. (Bong D. Fabe)
