No LGUs allowed to dredge rivers, deltas, says DPWH By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City-The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is the sole agency allowed to dredge rivers and deltas, the agency’s senior official said. Vinah Jeanne B. Maghinay, DPWH-10 spokesperson, issued the statement after the local City Council passed a resolution informing the government that it would proceed with the dredging of Cagayan river as a preventive measure against flooding. Earlier, Councilor Zaldy O. Ocon, chair of the council’s environment committee, put forward the resolution after being fed up with the slow dredging of the Cagayan river by DPWH. SMALL TIME QUARRY.

Duterte changes mind, postpones nationwide firecrackers ban By Jelly F. Musico of PNA

Filipinos can still welcome 2017 with firecrackers after President Rodrigo R. Duterte said it would be too late to impose total ban on firecrackers this coming New Year’s celebration. “It’s too late already. Everybody…they all have invested. It would not be fair,” President Duterte said in a media interview after visiting his parents’ tombs at the Wireless Catholic Cemetery in Davao City early Thursday morning. Mr. Duterte said he is inclined to

make the entire Philippines like Davao City where people celebrate Christmas and New Year with no firecrackers for the last 15 years. “At this time, I’d like to put everybody on notice that I have seriously considered making the entire Philippines like Davao. We observe the Christmas time with solemnity,” Mr. Duterte, mayor of Davao City for 23 years before he was elected President, said. The President said another explosion at a firecracker factory that killed two people in Bulacan last Wednesday would

be good reason for him to ban firecrackers nationwide. However, President Duterte said he would allow Congress to act first on the proposal to totally ban firecrackers during New Year’s Day revelry. “That has to be decided, but I would like Congress to act on it first. And if they do not want it, well, I will see if I can do it by executive order,” President Duterte said. “Anyway, it is the power of the President to come up with measures to protect public property, public interest and safety,”

he added. The President said he decided to ban firecrackers in Davao City “because most of the victims are children.” “In previous years, we used to hit something like 600 serious cases of children going blind, losing a limb, finger and a hand. But now, not a single case in hospital,” he said. For the meantime, the President said he would just issue a warning about the danger of firecrackers to prevent injuries and even deaths these coming Christmas and New Year’s celebrations.

Anti-Marcos groups need no permits to protest, says Duterte DAVAO City––President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered the police and military to remain in camps as he allowed anti-Marcos groups to protest on the burial of the late dictator Pres. Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayan (LNMB). Saying his decisions are always guided by the common good and the general welfare of the people, Pres. Duterte said anti-Marcos groups could freely hold their protests even without a rally permit. He declared all public places open for the pro-

testers, for “as long as they want”. “They (military) are restricted to be there in their proper places. We shall also keep a lean number of police personnel. Their role shall be limited to traffic enforcement and the basic policy standards. They are prohibited from carrying long firearms,” he said. In the event of violent actions, Pres. Duterte vowed to assume responsibility, saying, “I will answer for all legal issues there. The purpose is to assure the public peace.”

“I may not agree with what you say but I will protect your right to say it. That is our democracy as your President, you have my word and you have that commitment,” he added. The president made this statement after reports that his return from the Asia-Pacific Economic Conference (APEC) meet in Peru would be greeted with protests. As he welcomed protest actions on Marcos’ burial at the heroes’ cemetery, Pres. Duterte said he was willing to step down See PROTESTS, page A11

New players in ICT, energy sectors eyed By Lilian C. Mellejor of PNA

DAVAO City––Slow internet and high charges prompted President Rodrigo Duterte to open up the information and communications technology (ICT) industry, as well as the energy sector, to new players to promote competitiveness and improve quality of service. President Duterte disclosed this during his arrival at Davao International Airport (DIA) on Thursday night from his participation in the Asia Pacific-Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders Meeting in Lima, Peru. He said plans are being finalized, including a review of the regulatory requirements and institutional arrangements, to hasten the entry of new competitors to invest in the Philippines in both the ICT and energy sectors. “The only way to make this country faster to benefit the poor is really to open up communications, the airwaves, and the entire energy sector,” he said. Unless something is done by the local telecommunication firms, he said: See ENERGY, page A11 ERRATUM Notice for publication of CORAZON E.

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… `and the truth shall set you free’…” (Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in John 8:32, the Holy Bible). -oooLESSONS FROM KERWIN’S DISCLOUSRES: If there is anything significant in the disclosures that Kerwin Espinosa made during the Senate hearing on Wednesday, November 23, 2016, it is the realization that, no matter how concealed or hidden an act maybe, especially a criminal act that victimizes the whole nation, there will always be a time that it will be disclosed and laid bare before God and the people. The same significant realization, I am sure, will be brought about by the testimony that will be given by Ronnie Palisoc Dayan, the confessed driver-bodyguard-lover of Sen. Leila De Lima, before Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez Jr. and his colleagues at the House of Representatives Committee on Justice and Good Government. It would do well for everyone therefore, particularly those who are given the opportunity to serve our country, to always act in good faith and in accordance with the rules on good manners and right conduct,

avoiding anything that could be the source of shame in the future. We must always remember that truth has always a way of coming out, ruthlessly and fiercely, when we least expect it. -oooTHERE’S NO SECRET THAT WON’T BE BARED: This disclosure of secrets or hidden things at the appointed time was prophesied to happen by Jesus, our God and Savior. He said, in Luke 8:17 of the Bible, “For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open…” In Matthew 10:26, Jesus said, on the other hand: “…`So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be

disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known’…” Especially if that which is concealed or held in secret is a malicious wickedness or wrongdoing: “ Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly…” In Mark 4:22, Jesus was quoted as saying that secrets are intended to be brought out into the open, and will be disclosed. He said “… For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open…” The time will come that all those held in secret will be brought to light, whatever machinations maybe resorted to, to keep them hidden. -oooHOW CAN FAMILIES BE FED WITH MONEY COMING FROM DRUGS? The most troublesome question, really, for those implicated or otherwise identified by Kerwin in his Senate testimony is this: how were they able to stomach feeding their spouses, children, family members, friends and other relations, with money that came from illegal drugs? Of course, they are going to deny the accusations against them to high heav-

T he archd i o c e s e ha s helped form the Cagayan de Oro River Basin Management Council (CDORBMC), a multi-sectoral grouping of government agencies and civil society organizations. Our common goal is to rehabilitate and conserve the ridge-to-river-to-reef ecological system of Cagayan de Oro River, comprising 137,000 hectares of upland and lowland communities. Climate change has become the new normal. Our communities have to be engaged in mitigation and adaptation measures to forestall any future calamities. Another form of stewardship is called for on the first Sunday of Advent on Nov. 27, with the launching of the “Year of Parishes as Communion of Communities.” The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines has encouraged the formation and growth of our Basic Ecclesial Communities as a new way of being Church. BEC’s at the selda and kapilya levels constitute the parish as a communion of communities. BEC’s are characterized by being centered on the Word of God and the Eucharist, guided by servant leaders with participative members, and called to social action with an option for the poor. Let these auspicious beginnings then be our way of celebrating the Filipino spirit in sharing life – working for peace through interreligious dialogue; fighting against illegal drugs and criminality by helping transform lives; acting as stewards of the environment; and strengthening our communion of BECs and parishes as a new way of being Church.

ens, but there is something in the disclosures that cannot be denied by them: how can we ignore, just like that, the information that Kerwin gave to the lawmakers when it was filled with details as to the money that changed hands, all of which came from illegal drugs? What must be done now is an immediate lifestyle check on all the policemen and officials of government that Kerwin named, to determine the kind of life that they, and their families, lived, during the times that they were supposed to have been receiving money from him. If what they were receiving as salaries were enough for how they lived, Kerwin was mistaken. If money came overflowing, Kerwin must have been correct in his disclosures! -oooPLEASE LISTEN: “Ang Tanging Daan” (The Sole Way): a Bible study and prayer session online could now be heard, 24 HOURS a day, in the Philippines and the world at www.facebook. com/angtangingdaan or www.facebook.com/ANDKNK (and look for “Ang Tanging Daan” broadcasts).

It’s the economy

THE Philippine Statistics Authority reported that our economy posted a remarkable growth rate of 7.1 percent during the third quarter of the year, the first quarter of the Duterte administration. That is happy news. It tells us business and consumer confidence strengthened rather than waned with the entry of a reform-minded leader. Growing at over 7 percent makes the Philippines the growth leader in all of

Asia. It eclipses the growth rates posted by China, Vietnam, or Indonesia. Becoming the growth leader is not the important thing, however. What is more important is to make this growth rate sustainable and ensure it is inclusive so that it registers in declining poverty rates. Every administration that serves is, in the end, judged by how much or how little it has done for the national economy. By extension, that is a measure

of how much or how little was done to liberate our people from poverty. This is, after all the bottom line. We are not growing the economy for its own sake. We are growing the economy to make our people’s lives better. The Duterte administration evolved a 10-point economic agenda for the country. This agenda is a bold one. It seeks rapid but inclusive economic growth. It seeks to reduce personal

Friday, November 25, 2016

income tax rates while at the same time boosting government revenues to enable an ambitious infra program. It aspires for a modernized agricultural sector to liberate the rural poor. This agenda sets clear and quantifiable targets. The GDP is targeted to grow at 7 percent or better each year. That growth will be assured by efficient public spending. The poverty rate will be lowered to 15 percent

or less by 2022, at the end of the Duterte administration. By that time, we expect to raise our per capita income to the level where China and Malaysia are today. Growing at 7.1 percent in the third quarter sets our economy on a higher growth plane. This will have to be the minimum pace of growth if we expect to reach high middle-income status in the middle term. President Duterte’s economic team is confident

Martin Andanar

the targets are eminently achievable, provided the other reforms are put in place on schedule. As the 10-point development agenda indicates, this administration is fully aware that inclusive economic growth does not happen See ECONOMY, page A11

DAR chief bats for Genuine Agrarian Reform in Caraga Farmers’ Congress By PAT SAMONTE Caraga Regional Editor

BUTUAN CITY – Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Secretary Rafael “Ka Paeng” Mariano expressed support and discussed some provisions of the Genuine Agrarian Reform Bill (GARB) in his keynote address to a Farmers (ARBs) Congress at the Balanghai Hotel and Convention Center here on November 15, 2016. Speaking before agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) representing Caraga Region’s five provinces, Mariano said the proposed bill would extend for another five years the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) and, to make the government flagship program “more genuine”, write off agrarian reform beneficiaries’ “arrearages” in the amortization of agricultural lands they acquired. Further, Mariano said government interventions in the form of “support or assistance programs” for the beneficiaries would continue to ensure the increase of the farmers’ income and improve their quality of life. As part of the two-day affair, Mariano, Undersecretary Marcos Risonar, Jr. and and Undersecretary Sylvia Mallari led the distribution Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOAs) for 718.0059 hectares of agricultural lands to 529 beneficiaries as follows: to 189 ARBs from the municipalities of Tubajon, Dinagat, Cagdianao, Libjo, Basilisa, Loreto, and San Luis in Dinagat Islands - l85.7918 hectares; to 132 ARBs from the towns of Buenavista, Remedios T. Romualdez, Carmen, Jabonga, and Santiago, Agusan del Norte – 192.4045 hectares; to 94 ARBs from Prosperidad, Esperanza, San Francisco, San Luis, and Trento towns, Agusan del Sur – 146.7280 hectares; to 88 farmers from Cagwait, Hinatuan, Lingig, Marihatag, San Miguel, Tagbina, and Tago towns, Surigao del Sur – 169.8777 hectares; and 26 ARBs from Surigao del Norte towns of

Claver, Gigaquit, and Bacuag - 23.2039 hectares of land. Mariano, Risonar and Mallari also led the handing of economic benefits amounting to P1.98 million to some 45 farmer-beneficiaries in Rosario and San Francisco towns in Agusan del Sur. Last October 3, 2016, a total of 120 farmer-members of the NGEI Multi-Purpose Cooperative in Agusan del Sur received P5.1 million in economic benefits. The economic benefits consisted of lease rentals of the DAR-awarded lands and profits earned from enterprises operated by the cooperatives which should have been given yearly in the past seven years. The delay was due to problems in revalidating agrarian reform beneficiaries in 1988 and those who became members of the cooperative after that year. The cooperative broke up into three groups as a result of discontentment of several members on the operation of the cooperative. Last May 18, 2016, the Department of Agrarian Reform started the re-validation process of the coop members including those of the National Development Company (NDC) Guthrie Plantation Incorporated Multi-Purpose Cooperative (NGPI-MPC), another cooperative also established in 1988. During the Farmers’ Congress, checks totalling P40,326,000 were handed to nine agrarian reform organizations in Agusan del Sur, Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte under the Agrarian Production Credit Program (APCP). The APCP provides farmers and their organization production loan without the tedious process of complying with loan requirements under the bank’s regular window and at a very minimum interest rate. This a joint endeavor of the Department of Agrarian Reform, Department of Agriculture, Department of Environment and Natural Resources and Land Bank of the Philip-

pines. The DAR top officials launched Project ConVERGE or Convergence on Value Chain Enhancement for Rural Growth during the program. It is aimed to contribute to the reduction of poverty incidence through the promotion of sustainable livelihood activities based on key commodities in the project area.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, November 23 (PIA) -- Tribal Customary law holder leaders from Bukidnon hold the “pananghid” river ritual today near the Archbishop’s palace in Cagayan de Oro city as a prelude to the International River Summit (IRS) set to run from 24-26 November 2016. Pananghid seeks the blessing and permission of the Kagay-anons ‘’Apo” or forebears for the holding of the summit. Datu-Baylan Armando Hagonao together with other

tribal leaders from Libona, Baungon, and Talakag towns led the ritual calling on their forebears continued protection and support to the efforts geared toward the protection and preservation of the watershed, river basins and its tributaries. Cagayan de Oro Archbishop Antonio J. Ledesma SJ, DD, chairman of the Cagayan de Oro River Basin Management Council (CDORBMC) and host of the 3rd IRS summit was also present during the ritual. Eddie Canlit Datu Sandigan Limbobongan, Municipal Higaonon Tribal Council

of Baungon in Bukidnon explained that the ritual is not as simple as it looks; all needs to be prepared as it should be otherwise people present during the ritual will get jinxed if the offering is not received. “This is a gesture of respect to nature,” he said. Following the offering, the meat was prepared for the “alisngaw” asking the spirit to partake the food offered and then the “manampulot,” where community leaders present partake to the preparation as a celebration for the offering received.

Educational attainment and marriage By JESSILIN CENTINO ORINO Teacher I Mitazan Integrated School Aloran District

A study co-led by the University of East Anglia has found that people with genes for educational achievement tend to marry each other and have children with people with similar DNA. Humans generally do not choose their partners randomly but rather mate assortatively, choosing people with similar traits. Among the highest ranking qualities that people look for in a potential partner are intelligence and educational attainment. This could bring a potential genetics inequality in our society whichever country you come from. The only solution I

can see to contain this potential problem is to encourage our younger generation not to be lazy and constantly study. Whether taking up a vocational course or earning your way through college, studying is important to sharpen one’s minds. Whether you’re male or female, you will spawn an intelligent child from your partner who’s equally intelligent. Let the result of this study be a motivation to the younger generation. You must not be dilly-dallying in your studies. The hormones of youth tend to distract your thoughts from studying but you must not just look into today. You must look into the future as successful adults in society.

Let God does something to your enemies The Gospel of Jesus Christ (November25, 2016-Friday) John 13:2133”When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me.” The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking. There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples,

whom Jesus loved: Are you betrayed already? In my experiences, I had many betrayals in my life from the ministry members, relatives and friends and co workers of God. But this is natural occurrence in our lives since Jesus was a victim of betrayal. The only thing we can do towards our traitors is to pray for their enlightenment and repentance. Let us kill

Education and old age By MARICRIS N. SILVA Teacher I Mitazan Integrated School Mitazan, Aloran, Misamis Occidental

NEW research discovers a positive trend for brain health as the percentage of people with dementia is dropping. University of Michigan researchers discovered that those with the most years of education had the lowest chances of developing dementia. This may help explain the larger trend because today’s seniors are more likely to have at least a high school diploma than those in the same age range a decade ago. The finding is salient as baby boomers, the largest generation in the modern era, are now entering the prime years for dementia outset. Further, the new results add to a growing number of recent studies in the United States and other countries tha suggest a downward trend in

dementia incidence. These findings ma help policy makers and economic forecasters adjust their predictions for the total impact of Alzheimer’s disease ad other conditions. The results, based on in-depth interviews with seniors and their caregivers, add to a growing body of evidence that this decline in dementia risk is a real phenomenon. A change in the overall dementia forecast can have a major economic impact. More baby boomers have completed some higher education than any previous generation but the trend toward ore education appears to be levelling off in the world. And there are clear disparities in educational attainment according to wealth and ethnicity.

21st century classroom By NANCY RABUGA-NALDO Teacher III Kibaghot Elementary School

TO build your 21st century classroom, take a multimedia approach to learning core content, promote essential learning and innovation skills, build information, media and technology skills in one context and advance life and career skills. A 21st century classroom has a strong foundation in the core subjects. Exploring curriculum topics while authoring media-rich projects helps students develop knowledge that is rich, better connected and more applicable to subsequent learning and events. Using software tools that combine art tools with text editing, clip art and voice recording provides students with tools to communicate ideas and demonstrate understanding. In order for students

to be prepared for a more complex life and work environment, a 21st century classroom must promote creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration. Technology tools that allow students to create with audio,text and images provide an opportunity to build higher order thinking skills. Authoring multimedia content requires students to employ creativity and innovation as they develop, implement and communicate ideas and demonstrate originality and inventiveness, critical thinking and problem solving as they frame, analyze and synthesize information to s olve problems and answer questions and communication and collaboration as they articulate thoughts and ideas clearly and effectively and share responsibility for collaborative work.

Effective Strategies in Helping Pupils with Difficulties in Mathematics By CHLOE CHELO L. RUBIO Teacher I SULTAN MEMBISA LANGCAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KOLAMBUGAN, LANAO DEL NORTE

Pupils with learning difficulties in Mathematics demonstrate slow or inaccurate recall of basic arithmetic facts, answer problems impulsively without inhibition, have difficulty representing mathematical concept mentally, have poorly developed number sense and have difficulty keeping information in their working memory. These difficulties that the pupils nowadays are experiencing will hinder the purpose of teachers

in teaching the pupils to be productive and globally competitive. Therefore as a teacher who provides the best help to children with learning difficulties is a challenge. Here are some of the best tips towards creating an all-round positive in helping pupils. First is the use of structured peer assisted learning activities. It is a class wide peer tutoring program. Teachers carefully partner students with a classmate. The peer work in various

activities that address the academic need of both students. Second is the use of systematic and explicit instruction using visual representation. Teachers introduce mathematics concept gradually and in logical order with how to solve problems and performs operations. The other way is modifying instruction based on data formative assessment of pupils. Teachers classroom discussion or to conduct quizzes. Modifying formative is the lived, daily embodiment of a teacher desire to refine practice based on a keenness understanding of

We need more technical skills

By IAN KIT M. LITUAÑAS Teacher I Mitazan Integrated School

THE 4th Industrial Revolution isn’t just near – it’s here. The world of work is already a massive transition to a more global technology-driven flexible economy in which whole career progressions are being altered, new professions are coming into existence and traditional jobs are being swallowed by automation. Nearly 60 percent of

students in the world – 71 percent of those in vocational education and training – are currently studying or training for occupations where the vast majority of jobs will be radically altered by automation. Many of the jobs they’re studying for could vanish in ten to 15 years’ time. Just as these disappear however, new and different ones will be created simultaneously. Consider the advent of the iPhone in 2007 for example that created an entirely new

industry of app development virtually overnight. Therefore, there is now emerging a new set of skills requested for each job and how similar they are to skills requested for other jobs. Over 600 occupations are grouped based on demand for similar skill sets with over 4,600 diverse skills requested. Therefore, we need to shift the way we approach our working lives – to think in terms of skills instead of jobs.

current levels of student’s performance, under guided of the teacher’s knowledge of possible paths of pupils’ development. And finally some of best ways is providing opportunities for pupils to think aloud while they work. In the K to 12 curriculum, the think aloud strategy is to ask pupils to say out loud what they are thinking in solving mathematical problems. Through these some effective strategies, teachers imparted harmoniously the lessons and provide pupils a better understanding in loving Mathematics.

YESTERDAY’S ANSWER

Teaching simple mathematics in a world of complexities By JHONRILL L. BULAGA Teacher I Secondary Mathematics Mitazan Integrated School

MASTER your basics. The number one reason that people struggle in math class is because their basics and their fundamentals are not fully developed. Algebra and geometry are building blocks for the more advanced math later on (calculus, differential equations, etc.) Get ahead. Most schools give you a textbook for math and it’s a pretty big book. What you can do is study ahead. Whenever you have time, you can look a section ahead and be prepared for tomorrow’s material.

Do the self-study. This is the most efficient way of studying math. I would recommend you to buy math textbooks from a local bookstore. You can also search on the Internet for great math books. Don’t get a book that is very short for a topic like Geometry. Get a textbook or a few workbooks on this topic. It’s good to buy more than one book since some books leave out certain things. Get a book or a notebook. When you selfstudy, it’s good to have the book and a notebook with you, college-ruled preferably. Write down all he vocabulary and terms and the example problems.

Dredge... from page A1

The original text of the resolution was to “strongly urge” the government to de-silt Cagayan river by dredging it, which overflowed during tropical storm Sendong in 2011, killing thousands of lives. Later Mr. Ocon was able to convince his colleagues to change the text “strongly urge” to “inform,” effectively implying that if DPWH would not dredge the river, the city government of Cagayan de Oro is ready to undertake the dredging activity so as to remove the sandbars and restore the depth of the river as a deterrent against flooding. Mr. Ocon said during low tide boulders and sand bars are seen jutting out of the river. “Makita nato nga ang mga bato nanggimaw na,” he said as quoted by the Power, a daily newsletter of the City Council. But Ms. Maghinay said that it is explicitly stated in the three-page DPWH Department Order no. 139, which was issued in 2014 by then Secretary Rogelio L. Singson, that all dredging operations in rivers and deltas in the country should be undertaken by the agency. However, she added that the city government has the right to quarry the rivers located within its vicinity provided it’s in line with existing DPWH regulations. There is another law, Ms. Maghinay pointed out, that prohibits any activity within one-kilometer radius from any structure in the river. The downstream portion of Cagayan river has been constructed over the past two decades with five new bridges, effectively overlapping the one-kilometer radius on each. On top of that, a dike several kilometers long from both banks is currently being constructed. Ms. Maghinay said that under the law, no other earth-moving activity should be undertaken adjacent to these structures and projects. She, however, said there is already a study of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to dredge the river upstream. With a report from the JBD

“Healthy watershed, clean rivers, safer communities,” aims to bring together eminent leaders and stakeholders to share knowledge and best practices to formulate a blueprint of needed actions to address pressing issues affecting river basins and communities. Archbishop Antonio Ledesma, chair of the Cagayan de Oro River Basin Management Council, said everybody must work together and engage in the mitigation, adaptation and

even anticipation of future calamities. Ledesma, who’s also the head of the archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro, said it is important to learn from the past disaster like what Typhoon Sendong brought to this city and Iligan city in 2011. Mayor Oscar Moreno said the devastation by Sendong has made the Cagayanons resilient as he redefined resiliency to mean emerging stronger and building back better. For his part, Raoul Geollegue, former Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) official and president of the Watershed Management Coalition, said massive reforestation of the Cagayan de Oro river basin located mainly in Bukidnon must be undertaken. Geollegue said the present state of the CDO river basin has reached a critical level in that another weather disturbance akin to Sendong could lead to killer flood that will leave thousands affected. The Cagayan de Oro river basin, covering 1,379 square kilometers of forest lands located in the city’s upland, Bukidnon and some parts of Iligan City, is in danger of producing another disaster as portions of it are already without trees that will hold water that would have prevented massive flooding. The CDO river basin is one of the 18 major river basins in the country, eight of which are found in Mindanao. The river basins in Mindanao are in: Cagayan de Oro, Tagoloan, Ranao (Agus), Mindanao, Agusan, Tagum-Libuganon, Davao, and Buayan-Malungong.

Economy... from page A5

in a vacuum. One cannot simply shove business and monetary levers and expect inclusive economic growth to happen. There are other conditions that need to be provided to abet our remarkable economic performance. First, there must be complete rule of law and a regime of rules. Without those we fail. This is why the President put priority on the war on drugs and the eradication of corruption. The networks of drug lords have acquired so much wealth and so much influence they could skew our politics. The same may be achieved by other networks of dirty money, such as the syndicates of corruption. Second, we have to heal the wounds of internecine war and assure domestic peace for the next generation of Filipinos. Over four decades of insurgency did not only drain public resources and dislocate so many. All the fighting also caused the development of many areas to be retarded, adding to the uneven growth among our provinces. The fighting

Friday, November 25, 2016 caused farms to be left untilled, families to evacuate from their sources of livelihood, and large numbers to migrate to the cities. On his first day in office, the President put priority on the war on drugs and on advancing the peace process with both the communist and the Moro rebels. In addition to the rightfulness of achieving lasting peace for our people, a successful peace process will hasten integration and help achieve truly inclusive growth for all. President Duterte understands that while economic performance might be the final measure on which his administration will be judged, that economic performance cannot be achieved without breaking the backs of the drug cartels and winning the insurgents back to the fold. He truly understands that while it is the economy that ultimately matters, growth will be meaningless unless paired with social peace. The war on drugs is only a small part of the war on poverty.

Family... from page A4

family is even more important than your physical family because it will last forever. As babies we’re completely helpless, so we depend on our parents to protect, nurture, and teach us. And it’s the same with us who are spiritually born as a baby child of God. It doesn’t matter if we’re grown adults, we must be fed and taught how to live our new life with Jesus. As we start life all over again, we need to be encouraged by our spiritual brothers and sisters who help us grow and learn to live Jesus’ way, not our own. Children of God must become part of a church that believes and obeys the whole Bible and only the Bible, since it is our Maker’s manual explaining how to live correctly. Our spiritual family loves and personally knows Jesus is God the Son who died and came back to life to forgive us of all our wrongs and sins. So He is the only person who can make us right with God the Father and bring us into His family. Being part of God’s family means we not only worship Him in church services with our lips, but we worship God everyday with our life by putting Him first in everything. Our whole character and way of living changes. For example, we become honest no matter what we can get away with. We also love, forgive, and serve other people as Jesus did. So why not ask Jesus to forgive you for living your own way and to come into your life? Jesus said it’s the only way you can come into His family and start learning to live His successful, satisfying way He created you to enjoy. It’s also the only way you can know you’ll live safely in God’s

family forever after you die. Won’t you ask Jesus to guide you to a healthy, true church of His today? Just Think a Minute.

Iyang cellphone na ‘yan (That cellular phone), I do not want to have a quarrel with the Ayalas and Pangilinan.” He assured the same protection is given to all. “But I said it’s the Filipino. Now, kung i-dive ninyo ‘yang presyo ninyo, walang problema (if you drop all your charges, there’s no problem) I will forget my statement.” This move, the President said, manifests his administration’s recognition of the significant role of more vibrant telecommunication and power industries and enables the country to participate in the global market with a competitive edge. Citing corruption in government and a limited area to move, the President said the only way for the country’s deliverance is to remove it from the clutches of a few who hold the power and money. “It’s about time that we share the money of the entire country and to move faster, make competition open to all. Kasi pag ka ganito (If it’s like this), with the corrupt government and with the limited area to move, you’ll stymie competition and we will always be at the mercy of the corrupt people in this planet,” he said. “We do not monopolize government corruption. That problem is shared by the whole of international arena.” “Buksan ko na ang Pilipinas para wala ng (I will open the Philippines so that there is no more)…and, maybe reroute the entire red tape,” he said. He added he would even be willing to receive directly applications, bring it to respective departments and get the results himself. (PNA)

Awesome Ozamiz Culinary and Heritage Adventure

Leading up to the long All Souls Day weekend, an intrepid bunch of news media members from Manila and a bunch of bloggers heed off for an adventure in Ozamiz City. The port City of Ozamiz is nestled in the natural harbor of Panguil bay, a natural water boundary that separates the Zamboanga peninsula from the rest of Mindanao. Once named Misamis for both the abundance of an indigenous variety of palm and the Catholic masses first celebrated there by Spanish colonizers, the city’s has been honoring the heroism of Senator Jose Ozamiz since 1948. The adventure into Ozamiz illustrious past started off with a thorough briefing on the city’s status and continuing vision presided by Vice Mayor Princess Nova Parojinog and City Tourism Officer Jaime Tomada In going through a four inch thick book of tourism development plans, Vice Mayor Nova highlighted the city’s Spanish Subanon heritage even as it looks toward massive redevelopment on the dawn of what people are

calling Mindanao’s century — heralded by the election of the country’s first president from Mindanao, Davao city Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte. The tour of the city commenced immediately after lunch. A mystical belfry in the middle of nowhere, a resort built around a natural spring touted for its healing waters, the Rodriguez ancestral house where it is believed that Jose Rizal once visited, and the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral with its colossal pipe organ with nearly 2,000 pipes soaring into the churches vaulted ceiling. Later in the evening, Mayor Aldong Parojinog hosted a sumptuous dinner prepared by Ozamiz’ celebrated Chef Johann Dagandara. The dinner’s pièce de ré·sis·tance was purple dragon fruit ice cream, a sweet and creamy concoction subtly flavored with a variety of dragon with purple flesh. Next day’s adventure began at the balmy heights of Hoyohoy adventure park where we saw its quaint stone chapel overlooking the verdant vistas

encircling Panguil bay and dared to ride what is perhaps the longest zip-line in the world. Lunch was served at Mayor Aldong’s farm where we saw his prized patch of purple dragon fruit, a delectable treat on its own because of its juicy sweet flesh and mouthwatering plum color. Joining us in the midst of the mayor’s expansive fruit farm Tourism Assistant Secretary Ricky Alegre who apprised us of the support the national government had earmarked to boost tourism in Ozamiz City and Misamis Occidental. Assistant Secretary Alegre noted the fast paced construction of roads

and burgeoning commercial activity in the area, saying that it would encourage more investment as the global business community rediscovers Mindanao as it comes under a new era of peace. In the evening, the groups of adventurers were regaled by a masterful Kundiman performance as, once again, Chef Johann served Ozamiz city’s prized Laya fish — a type of grouper prized for its subtle fresh flavor and firm flesh. In the early hours just as the adventurers prepared for the flight back home, not a single one could mutter a word apart from awesome and yes, that is Ozamiz.
