Biz plan competition open to seafarers A

By Carlson B. Alelis

business plan competition with a grand prize of P 500,000 is now open to seafarers nationwide, organized by the National Reintegration Center for Overseas Filipino Workers (NRCO), an attached agency of the Department of Labor and Employment.

Labor Attache II lawyer Jalilo dela Torre said the 2015 NRCO-ISP Business Plan Competition is held because of the importance

of the seafaring community to the nation’s economy, hence, the need to encourage them to start their own business.

“We would like to recognize their dedication and their sacrifices to the economy by launching this initiative to encourage entrepreneurship among our seafarers,” he said during a press briefing for the contest held at the Sugar Workers Development Center here.

The competition is open

to all active seafarers who are at least 25 years old, as well as to inactive seafarers who have been retired for at most 5 years.

Those who wish to join must submit their business plan, which includes their type of business, preferably in agriculture.

Application forms are available at NRCO’s website at www.nrco.dole.gov.ph.

Participants can join as an individual entry, by pair or by group of at least 3 seafarers.

The deadline of entries

is on September 30 and the winners will be announced on December 4.

The business should be startup, which means the NRCO will not allow an existing business as an entry, according to dela Torre.

The grand prize will be P 500, 000, while four participants will be awarded with a cash prize of 50, 000 each. Five participants will

also be given a consolation prize worth P 10, 000 each.

The competition is coorganized and co-sponsored by the Integrated Seafarers of the Philippines, a volunteer organization of seafarers in the country.

Dela Torre said mentoring and counseling will also be done for entries that are in need of improvement.

“After submission, if we determine that the en-

try still requires a lot of elaboration, we will have a one-month period where they will enjoy the services of mentoring or counseling from recognized business experts who will assist them with the business plan,” he said.

Dela Torre said that there are 400, 000 Filipinos seafarers out of the 1 million worldwide. (JSC/CBA-PIA6 Negros Occ.)

EDITOR: ALLAN MEDIANTE • amediante@gmail.com

Others call it the misery of the Mezzogiorno.

It’s more then painful. Recent figures confirm that southern Italy is massively underdeveloped economically - and this also has an impact on its political culture. The reasons for the misery have long been known, but are difficult to overcome. Illegal waste dump in Naples is just one of many more problems right now.

The announcement was likely to arouse great expectations. “The cities of Sicily as a driving force for regional development” was the title of the conference at the Teatro Pirandello in Agrigento on the southern coast of the island. It began at 4:00 p.m. - and was already over by dinner. The future of southern Italy was evidently a project so straightforward and manageable that it could be dealt with in two or three hours.

What a shame!

Italian journalist Luigi Offeddu recently took a closer look at this March

The Greece of Italy Have my say

Klaus Doring

2010 conference in the newspaper “Corriere della Sera.” He examined the organizational structure of the event, especially its financing. He reported that the meeting had been subsidized to the tune of 23,000 EURO. Of this, the regional authority contributed nearly 3,500 EURO. Around 8,000 EURO came from the Italian government. And the rest, around 11,500 EURO, was provided

by Brussels. Even modest results can be expensive, he wrote dryly.

This anecdote sheds light

on a question again currently being hotly debated in Italy: Why is there simply no progress when it comes to the southern part of the country? The discussion was reignited a few days ago by a new report issued by Svimez, an organization to promote the Mezzogiorno, the Italian south. It looked closely at the economic situation of the region between Naples and Palermo.

“The Greece of Italy” is how the newspaper “Il Fatto Quotidiano” described the Mezzogiorno. The growth rate was even more glum when compared to panEuropean figures: The economy of the EU as a whole grew by almost 54 percent during that time. Yes, we all most face it: The south is dying out. Journalists Gian Antonio Stella and Sergio Rizzo examined the south’s desperation in a book that became a bestseller in Italy.

Its title: “Se il Sud muore” “If the South Is Dying.” They write about widespread despondency and apathy. The once-creative region, which

gave the world great artists, writers and scientists, has lost all its energy.

The Italian south suffers especially hard from this lack of oversight, as it leads it to a failure to develop a culture of business and entrepreneurial activity.

How could that change, the newspaper “Corrriere del Mezzogiorno” asks.

And it gives an answer that itself seems utopian: It needs a new party. But a party that thinks about future generations and not the upcoming elections.

What’s that got to do with us here in the Philippines? A lot. Italy faces the biggest problems and challenges with refugees in whole Europe. The Italian and European economy is affected.

and God? Remember that this compensation for these human rights violations victims was ordered by a foreign court after due hearings on the merits of the complaint filed by these victims. The foreign court had found guilty the elder Marcos for the crimes he was accused of having committed against his very own people.

So there is no debate now in this regard. And where did the compensation come from? It came from the bank accounts of Marcos containing millions of US dollars that the Swiss government surrendered to the Philippine government for being ill-gotten. If a foreign government surrenders a huge amount to our government because it is ill-gotten, does this move not telling us that Marcos indeed plundered the public coffers?

Now we have clearly established beyond doubt that the elder Marcos indeed sinned against us Filipinos and plundered the government coffers in wild abandon. The question is should the young Marcos be made answerable for this violations of the people’s rights and the plunder of the government coffers by his father?

A deeper view

Jesse E.L. Bacon II

But before we proceed any further, do not forget also that aside from what the Swiss government surrendered to our government, the late dictator’s cronies likewise surrendered millions of pesos to the government representing what they said the proceeds of Marcos’ plunder of the government coffers.

And there are several cases pending before local and foreign courts aimed at recovering the billions of pesos and US dollars the Philippine government says rightfully belong to the Philippine state stashed by Marcos during his reign of terror.

Did the young Marcos impugn his father and mother for what they did to the country when he reached the age of majority? Did he not

partake of what had been plundered by his parents as alleged by the government?

In this regard, I would say the young Marcos is as guilty as his father.

The young Marcos could be likened to the daughter of Janet Lim Napoles who enjoyed to the hilt her lifestyle in the US bankrolled by the proceeds of her mother’s plunder of the government coffers in cahoots with elected senators and congressmen at that.

There is a passage in the bible where children are pictured as fighting against their parents when they know the truth about God’s will. Indeed this is very possible when children oppose the sins and wrongdoings of their parents based on their belief in the teachings of God. But in the case of the young Marcos, he did not recognize the will of God, the teachings of Jesus. Instead he partook and continues to partake of the proceeds of the plunder his father did on the coffers of the Philippine government.

In this regard, he is as guilty as the father thus making him ineligible to seek higher office or even any other public office. He and the rest of the MarSee bacon, page A11

Then he said to them, “Watch out!

When you feel an impulsive thought to take advantage of a situation for your gain, take a moment. Think through your actions thoroughly and look at who loses with your gain.

Greed is so difficult to identify in Will your action bring you closer to ourselves, yet so easy to call out in God or further away from dependothers. This verse is most powerful ing on Him?

‘Selda Otso’ inmates bolt Maguindanao jail Bukidnon • Camiguin • Lanao del Norte • Lanao del Sur • Misamis Occidental • Misamis Oriental

By Ferdinandh B. Cabrera, f MindaNews

COTABATO City--Using an improvised hack saw and a liquid solution soaked in soap, five inmates managed to bolt the Maguindanao provincial jail by sawing off the steel grill during a heavy downpour Tuesday midnight.

Jail Warden Macapagal Blao said his roving guard immediately fired a warning shot upon seeing an inmate jumping from the wall past the barbed wires.

“They took advantage of the heavy rain knowing the commotion would not be easily monitored,” Blao said.

He identified jailbreakers as Urak Makalay and Aquino Mento, both facing robbery charges; Tampakan Ankilino (rape); Fahad Sangki (theft); and Faisal Macarimbang (robbery).

But Macarimbang was reportedly arrested again yesterday, hiding in the

company of his old buddies in Barangay Poblacion Dos in this city. The barangay chairman has turned over Macarimbang back to the jail.

T he e s c ap e e s , Bl a o said, were from Selda Otso which has 23 male inmates inside.

Blao said before he assumed office, the steel blade’s other half was earlier surrendered to penal management as a show of sincerity by the prisoners. But jail guards didn’t realize the other half of the foot-long blade was hidden somewhere, and was finally used at the

right moment last night.

“We found out they had been planning this for a long time,” Blao stressed.

Blao assured that Datukan Samad alias Commander Lastikman, who is facing a string of criminal cases, was not among those who bolted the jail facility.

He appealed to the relatives of the escapees to help in bringing them back to jail “for their own safety.”

The provincial government of Maguindanao is working for the transfer of the provincial jail to Buluan town after a loan was granted for the construction of a P50-million worth state-of-the-art penal rehabilitation facility.

The province recognizes the risk of the presence of the jail, which has high profile inmates, right in the middle of the densely populated Cotabato City.

SELDA OTSO. A jail official points at the missing iron grill of Cell No. 8 sawed off by inmates who escaped during a heavy rain late Tuesday night (25 August 2015). Five inmates were able to escape from the Maguindanao Provincial Jail in Cotabato City, but one was captured the next day. INSET: The improvised hack saw used by the inmates.

RACHEL (not her real name), 26, thought that having inverted nipples would make breastfeeding impossible. When she gave birth to her first newborn, she did not get any medical advice about breastfeeding from health professionals and so, she gave her son infant formula milk.

Rachel spends P4,000 (US$86) a month for infant formula. Her son Matthew, now 10 months old, has been hospitalized three times for various illnesses.

Rachel is just one of the thousands of Filipino mothers who are burdened with the consequences of feeding their children with formula milk.

A 2009 study by the International Lactation Con-

sultant Association among infants younger than six months in Manila showed that formula-feeding was associated with increased odds of hospitalization for any infectious cause, pneumonia, and diarrhea compared to exclusively breastfed infants.

According to the 2013 National Nutrition Survey, only 28 percent of Filipino infants are exclusively breastfed up to six months.

The Depar tment of Health (DOH) revealed that such low breastfeeding practice in the country contributes to 800,000 infant deaths worldwide.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 16,000 number of child deaths in the Philippines per year can be traced to formula feeding.

According to Unicef, babies who are formula-fed are also more vulnerable to asthma, allergies, childhood cancers, Type 1 diabetes during childhood and later in life, cardiovascular disease, obesity, gastrointestinal infections and ear infections.

Citing various studies, Unicef said formula feeding also retards children’s cognitive ability and educational achievement.

Seven infant formula brands have been withdrawn from the market and classified as potentially life threatening by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Between 1982 and 1994, the US FDA recalled 22 infant formula products due to either deficient or excessive amounts of certain nutrients.

family should even be barred perpetually from seeking any public office for what they have done to the country. Electing them or even appointing them to any public office means rewarding them with what they have done in the past and at present.

Because of these facts, the members of the Marcos family should never be given the chance to seek any public office much more be voted to any public office. Could you recall of any instance where they apologized for the systematic plunder they did during the dark years of Martial Rule and thus voluntarily return the proceeds of such plunder?

Never did they apologize and now here are some of our misguided countrymen egging the young Marcos to seek a higher office. My answer to this call?

Never again, please.

In 2006, Wyeth destroyed batches of its infant formula milk that had rust on the cans.

Aggressive marketing Nona D. Andaya-Castillo, one of the International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) in the Philippines, identified the failure of the Philippine government to protect breastfeeding as one of the factors that resulted in low breastfeeding practice among Filipinos.

For one, the aggressive marketing of infant formula milk has been unregulated despite the supposed legal regulations on the marketing of formula milk.

In the first half of 2006, more than $100 million was spent on the advertising of infant formula milk, according to a report from AC Nielsen.

Filipino mothers exposed to infant formula milk ads are 6.4 times more likely to stop breastfeeding babies within one year of age, a 2011 study published by the Social Science and Medicine Journal revealed.

A similar study in 2009 stated that ‘voracious global marketing by the formula-milk industry over the past 60 years has …dislodged breastfeeding as a viable and desirable strategy for infant feeding.’

Globally, annual sales of breast milk substitutes exceed $31 billion.

Even families with young children living on less than $2 dollar per day purchased formula milk, according to a 2003 study published in the Journal of Human Lactation.

Poor implementation of laws Executive Order 51, also known as the Milk Code, regulates the marketing and advertising of infant formula milk.

The Milk Code explicitly requires the labeling of infant formula products with the following messages in English and Filipino : 1. Breastmilk is best for babies up to two years of age and beyond; 2. Important Notice: There is no substitute for breast milk; and, 3. This product may contain pathogenic microorganisms and

ing and wickedness.

[Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you: This gospel tells us the truth of our daily focus in our lives. We are very much concerned of our physical cleansmust be prepared and used appropriately.

Milk Code also states that the information display panel of infant formula should also include the messages “The use of infant formula/milk supplements must only be upon the advice of a health professional,” and “The unnecessary and improper use of this product may be dangerous to your child’s health.”

Andaya-Castillo noted that since 2010, such messages have disappeared from the advertisements of infant formula milk. Her group Breastfeeding Philippines has initiated an online petition https://www.change.org/p/president-benigno-s-aquino-iii-department-of-health-secretary-janetteloreto-garin-please-bring-backbreastfeeding-messages-to-allnon-human-milk-advertisements to bring back the messages to all non-human milk advertisements and to regulate the marketing of so-called milk supplements for 0-3 years old children.

Andaya-Castillo also questioned the partnership between the Food & Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) of the Department of Science and Technology and Nestle Philippines.

Nestle, a company that manufactures infant formula milk and other food products intended for babies, has embarked on a campaign called United for Healthier Kids. The FNRI is part of the “advocacy.”

“Instead of prohibiting the consumption of infant formula milk, the Aquino administration has partnered with a company that targets Filipino children,” Andaya-Castillo said.

The breastfeeding advocate added the DOH is not fully implementing the Milk Code and Republic Act 10028 or Expanded Breastfeeding Promotion Act. RA 10028 provides for the establishment of lactation stations in establishments and institutions.

The law also states that nursing employees are entitled to break intervals in addition to the regular time-off for meals to breastfeed or express milk.

In a statement released last week, Health Secretary Janette Garin said that non-compliance to lactation breaks, and unavailability of lactation stations in workplaces are among the factors that hamper continuous breastfeeding.

Andaya-Castillo said that while the DOH promotes breastfeeding, there should also be protection and support for Filipino mothers.

In a related development, Gabriela Women’s Party Rep. Luzviminda Ilagan and Emmi de Jesus filed House Resolution 2194 seeking to investigate the non-implementation of particular provisions of RA 10028. (http:// bulatlat.com)

Just On Wednesday this week,Natumulan got another recognition from the Bureau of Fire Protection(BFP) Region 10 in line with the Government Agency’s 24th Anniversary Celebration.

The council received a Plaque of Recognition in grateful recognition for the exemplary significant accomplishments relevant to this year’s BFP Theme: “Promoting Public Readiness through Safety Awareness”;thus, contributing to the overall attainment of the agency’s vision and mission.As we all know,Natumulan village through the leadership and initiative of its Barangay Executive Domer “Enan”Sabio organized a Volunteer Fire Brigade dubbed as “Kuriakos” to immediately respond untoward incident related to Fire but since they are only a village in a town of a province with minimal income under its Internal Revenue Allotment(IRA),the village chief once became hopeless on how they can move without an equipment,that’s why Sabio decided to purchase a Fire Truck coupled with full battled gear of fire fighting gadgets from his own pocket that nobody from Northern Mindanao leaders patterned the same.Aside from its own Fire Truck,Natumulan also has its own Ambulance also coming from the village chief own pocket.

We also knew that only in Natumulan among all Barangays in Northern Mindanao are imposing Minimum Wage to all of its Barangay Staff since they are capable in doing it were the area is an industrial rich village.On September,another Multi Million investment will come in the village to construct a huge structure for a Solar Energy that can generate more jobs to all Tagoloanons.

Million intended for the Farm to Market Road(FMR)Project leading to tourism destination such as the Road Network leading to Barangay Malanang which is the home of these more than 700 Ostrich.

According to its Tourism Officer designate Ms.Naomi Cinco that the construction of the said project was now started already but they still need another Php20 Million of funding to complete the whole phase since the cost of road per kilometer is Php10 Million with the distance of the Philippine Ostrich Farm at 3 kilometers,but Seno reiterated that Cong.Uy has made already a commitment to him to find more solutions for the completion of the project before the campaign period of 2016 National Synchronized election will start.

Today,an array of Ostrich inspired costume accustomed with an indigenous street dancing moves will display at the main thoroughfare of the town that has 8 contingents;5 from the Elementary category and 3 from the secondary category.Aside from the Streetdancing,Ostrich inspired booth will be installed at the venue;at Tabuc Gymnasium wherein the Municipal Government will sell souvenir items which are locally produced.Other activities includes Variety show,Disco,A Night with the Academe,Sectoral night presentation,Miss Gay 2015,Search for Miss Opol 2015 with Swim wear Competition and Talent Competition in different dates,Culinary Competition,Hot Momma,Celebrity Night with an array of local talents,Fluvial Parade and culminates with a Boxing.The 2nd Ostrich Festival will run from August 28 until September 6, 2015.
