Exporters pushes abolition of tariffs on PH exports to Japan By ANTONIO COLINA IV, MindaNews
DAVAO City – Exporters in Davao Region had asked President Rodrigo R. Duterte for negotiation with Japanenese government for the lifting of tariff rates imposed on Philippine products during his recent three-day state visit there.

CDO, MisOr exporters, designers join Manila FAME 2016 T
HREE local exporters and three designers from Cagayan de Oro City and Misamis Oriental took part in the leading international fashion and crafts fair, Manila Furnishings and Apparel Manufacturers’ Exchange
(Manila FAME) on 20-22 October 2016 at the World Trade Center, Pasay City, Manila. These designers were Christopher L. Gomez, Maria Francesca Nicole B. Cabanlet and Patrick U. Gabutina. Siezing this great op-
portunity, the Department of Trade and Industry facilitated the participation of local exporters, namely: Cagayan de Oro Handmade Paper, The Stoneware Pottery and Puyo Handicrafts. Rosvi Gaetos, Executive Director of CITEM, visited
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The 18th City Council in its 16th regular session enacted Ordinance No. 13129-2016, approving the Updated Safe Closure and Rehabilitation Plan of the City Controlled Dumpsite located at Upper Dagong, Barangay Carmen, in Cagayan de Oro city. In compliance to Republic Act No. 9003 otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, the 10-year solid waste management plan of the city endeavors to have a City SWM program that will provide for adequate and environmentally-sound disposal facility for solid waste generated in the city,
thereby, promoting reuse, reduce and recycle and that communities have access to integrated and cost-effective management of solid waste. It was also learned that in compliance to Section 37 of the aforesaid act, the updated safe closure and rehabilitation plan of the city controlled dumpsite was approved by the Environmental Management Bureau on June 10, 2015. It can be recalled that the amount of P100 million has been appropriated under Supplemental Budget No. 1 for the establishment of the Sanitary Landfill (SLF). This budget would cover expenditures for technical
and environmental assessment and detailed engineering design which are currently being finalized for the submission of the SLF project plan as required for the appropriation. Moreover, this budget is also intended for lot acquisition and the initial establishment of cell, which will accommodate the waste upon final closure of the existing city-controlled dumpsite. Another allocation in the amount of P100 million has been proposed under the 2017 Executive Budget for the full implementation of the said project.

For you not to be accountable, be generous to all
The Gospel of Jesus Christ Matthew 9:1415”Then the disciples of John came to Him, asking, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” And Jesus said to them, “The attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom is
taken away from them, and then they will fast: In reply to the query why his disciples do not fast, Jesus says that the wedding guests do not mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them. This makes sense when we recognize that fasting is most often done in connection with periods of mourning or sorrowful penance. There is, in other words, an ap-
propriate time for fasting, and this time is not when the party is full swing. But in the case of Jesus was different because he was still alive during this time, therefore, no reason to fast and mourn. He introduced himself as a great provider of everything to anyone. Take note, marriage is a union between two individuals. The husband spent a lot
of money to the family of his wife because they are already one. This is the same to us if we are united and connected to God. Blessings and favors are easily given to us if we have a close relationship with God. God will bless you more because he expects that you will share it to others. He entrusts you with much things because he
believes on your generosity. Beware, the more you have something, greater accountability you will have. For you not to be accountable, be generous to all: Printing paid by: Edith Ranoa, PhDMajor Tony Jordan and Crespina Ranoa - Bobong Balino– Cagayan De Oro: # 09187148435: Please have my latest book: To Make Your

SSS supports lawmakers Fish Conservation Week 2016 calls for cleaner, pollution free ocean – BFAR in pursuing meaningful By Jasper Marie Oblina-Rucat
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The 53rd Fish Conservation Week this year calls for the need to clean and make our ocean pollution free, says Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) regional director Visa Tan-Dimerin. In Talakayan sa PIA on 20 October 2016, she explained that the annual celebration is to give importance for the need to conserve for sustainable development so that we will always have fish in the ocean. Dimerin said that the focus now is the clean-up activity in coastal areas such as coastal clean-up, scubasurero, and IEC with
coastal communities on waste disposal. Meanwhile, Asuncion J. Maputol, chief, Fisheries Management Regulatory Enforcement Division said that they have been conducting an IEC on RA 10654, an act to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, amending Republic Act No. 8550, otherwise known as “the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998” and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. She said that penalty is bigger this time from simply two boxes of fish to P200,000 to P500,000 depending on the gravity of the offense. They have
recently signed a MOA on Regional Task Force Against Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported Fishing where commercial fishing boats are monitored and penalized once caught fishing in restricted waters. In terms of fish supply, Dimerin said that there are factors for it to be substantial. Since time immemorial, region 10 has never had surplus on fish production because of population and fast growing urban areas, said Dimerin. That is why it is just ok to see fish carriers from other regions. This way, price will be balanced. Right now, she said we are slowly growing our aquaculture such as fish cages, mariculture park,
seaweeds, fish pen in inland waters. Somehow, we have increment of aquaculture in seawaters, she said. Aside from that, she said that we could not really determine where these fish catch come from because the counting of BFAR is based on fish landings. There are commercial fishing boats that fish in Cebu and other parts of the country but land here in Cagayan de Oro or region 10. Currently, BFAR also conducts research such as monitoring stock assessment program and now introduces shell gardening project in Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental. (JMOR/PIA10)
DOH ‘Garantisadong Pambata’ program now includes oral health By Jasper Marie Oblina-Rucat
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – A program that cuts across all life cycle is now integrated in ‘Garantisadong Pambata 2016’ of the Department of Health (DOH), which is Oral Health program. In ‘Talakayan sa PIA’, a media forum hosted by Philippine Information Agency (PIA) region 10 on 19 October 2016 in Cagayan de Oro City, Dr. Gisan dela
Peña, dentist of DOH region 10 said that they are thankful that oral health is integrated in Garantisadong Pamabata program because this is one aspect of overall wellness of a child that has been left out. She said that oral health is part of overall wellness and nutrition where it is impossible for a child to become totally healthy when the first line of defense
which is oral health is problematic. If a child has an oral health problem, he or she cannot eat food which will be the source of nutrients. Kids aged six and below who have gum problems or cavities develop poor eating habits which would lead to malnutrition and would lose socialization with other people and other kids. This is also the number one reason for kids to be absent in school, having a toothache.
Dela Peña said that their aim is to increase orally fit children and control oral health risk among young people. Right now only 3% are orally fit but the goal is to increase it to 12%. In region 10, dental department of DOH conduct consultative meetings with public health dentists, twice a year. They also distribute filling materials at rural health units for kids and dis-

pension reforms The Social Security System (SSS) has expressed support for lawmakers in addressing the need for meaningful pension reforms to ensure the long-term sustainability of the pension fund. Newly-appointed Social Security Commission Chairman Amado D. Valdez, former dean of the University of the East College of Law, said that SSS management is supportive of a sustainable pension increase anchored on viable funding support mechanisms being threshed out in the House of Representatives (HoR) and the Senate in consultation with the SSS actuarial experts. “We understand the need for higher SSS pensions. However, merely mandating to grant an across-theboard pension increase without any mention of how exactly the system will sustain it over the long term may not suffice,” Valdez said. Lawmakers are studying a total of 13 different bills currently filed in the HoR and another six bills in the Senate. The bills offered no source of funding to sustain the additional benefits which amount to billions of pesos every month. “SSS is a defined-benefit system so the current fund is obligated to its present members who are entitled to six types of benefits based on qualifying conditions. Widening the base for contribution collection is a short-term solution but the fund will eventually dry up by 2025 because right now, the return of every peso contribution is P16 on the average,” Valdez said. Implementing the P2,000 pension increase, for instance, would require an additional P56 billion on
the first year alone to fund the 12 monthly pensions and 13th month pensions of more than two million SSS pensioners. SSS pension release grew at an average rate of eight percent annually for the last five years. Based on results of actuarial studies presented during legislative meetings, SSS recommended the corresponding increase in contribution rate, government subsidy or a combination of both as options for funding the pension increase. Unlike the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) which applies its 21 percent contribution rate on the entire income of public sector employees every month, SSS implements a much lower 11 percent contribution rate that covers a maximum monthly income of only P16,000. Valdez said that he believes that lawmakers are also aware of repercussions of steep benefit increases without the corresponding source of revenues, which in the past had reduced SSS fund life to as short as 16 years based on the 1999 actuarial valuation. “From 1980 to 2002, SSS pension increases of up to 20 percent were implemented a total of 19 times, sometimes even twice within the same year, while the contribution rate remained pegged at 8.4 percent for the same 23-year period which shortened the life of the fund,” Valdez said, who cautioned against repeating the mistakes from the past. Valdez said “We will still continue to look for ways to further enhance the system’s efficiency and prudently manage SSS spending so we can reserve more funds for higher benefits.”

It is currently constructing a 5-MW so-called “demo plant” intended to supply two utilities in Sorsogon. But Mr. Ardon said there is still more ocean energy reserves in the country beyond those two areas. Ocean energy emanates from tides, waves, tidal streams, ocean currents, thermal gradients and salinity gradients. Tidal in-steam energy is generated when streams of water flow between land masses as a result of tidal height differences.

and its largest companies on investments in manufacturing and agriculture that will generate several jobs. “Japan is well-placed to remain as the Philippines top trading partner,” he said. The president also discussed with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe how the two countries can further partnership in various areas of economic, socio-political, security and defense cooperation. He said they agreed to strengthen ties between the two nations by harnessing their respective strengths and take advantage of them to further grow and continue playing a “rightful role in the region.” He also emphasized that the “economic cooperation remains a linchpin between the two nations and encouraged the Japanese businessmen to pour in investments in the Philippines.“ “As I sought greater government partnership to create an enabling environment for both our businesses to thrive, I encouraged private businesses in Japan to invest in the Philippines,” he said. Agriculture Secretary Manny Piñol announced that he signed with a Japanese firm, Farmind Corp., a deal for an annual delivery of 20 million boxes of Cavendish bananas worth P5 billion from the Philippines. This would generate about 14,000 farm jobs, he said, as the project will involve developing about 7,000 hectares of banana farms, directly employing former rebels in the conflict areas in the Southern Philippines. “The Farmind Corp. project is really aimed at providing livelihood opportunities for rebel returnees and beneficiaries of the agrarian reform program,” he said.

“These two programs are specifically designed to address the roots of poverty,” Gov. Hataman noted. Apat na Dapat, which focuses on 600 of the region’s poorest families, was launched in January 2016. “We hope that the national government would help us bridge the gaps in the programs we are currently implementing,” Átty. Laisa Alamia, ARMM Executive Secretary, said. The regional government, she noted, has earmarked P240 million for the implementation of the program in 2015-2016. There will be 15 pilot municipalities – three in every province of the ARMM – with 40 of the poorest families as beneficiaries in each municipality. The program will follow the “four-for-the-poor formula,” which zeroes in on the four basic needs, namely food, water, light, and shelter. “Any household that lacks even just one of these four is at great risk of being poor,” Gov. Hataman noted. The program is under the ARMM’s Bangsamoro Regional Inclusive Development Program for Sustainable Growth and Equity, which helps strengthen local governance and empower communities in the region. ARMM-HELPS, on the other hand, is a banner program of the Office of the Regional Governor that aims at establishing a peaceful and secure environment in the region by providing basic social services especially in relation to health, education, livelihood, good governance and peace in barangays. ARMM-HELPS was launched in February 2013 and is designed as a convergence initiative of the regional government.

Another business leader, Stephen Antig, executive director of PBGEA, in a text message said that he is not sure if he would join the country’s delegation to Japan due to prior commitments. The country’s delegation was scheduled to leave for Japan on Tuesday. Sotto is hopeful that the passage of a National Banana Comprehensive Act will address the concerns of the industry. “The banana industry will remain challenged by biotic and abiotic production constraints, including social and market issues; research will more than ever be needed to address these challenges for sustainability; and a truly effective collective government-industry research and development collaborative effort is needed,” he said. He said the industry players are thankful to Duterte for supporting their call for the passage of a law creating the National Banana Council that will oversee the overall development of the banana industry.

Tony Fernandes name CAPA Airline CEO of the year
A
irAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes has been named Airline CEO of the Year at the 2016 CAPA Aviation Awards for Excellence. The award was presented to him at a gala dinner held at Hotel Okura here last night. This is the third time Fernandes has won the accolade from influential aviation consultancy CAPA-Centre for Aviation. The first two times were in 2004 and 2005. AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes said, “AirAsia has come a long way since I won the first ever CAPA Airline Executive of the Year award in 2004. And in those 12 years, AirAsia has both changed and stayed the same. Back in 2004, the low-cost model was still something new to Asia. We had just embarked on our first two affiliates outside of Malaysia, in Thailand and Indonesia. We had 17 planes and 1,400 staff, and people were only starting to notice us. “Since then, we’ve grown into a truly Asean airline with operations in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, India, and soon, Japan, more than 200 aircraft and 17,000 Allstars. We’re the only airline that flies to all 10 Asean nations and, with Fly-Thru, we can connect the whole of Asia Pacific, from Japan, Korea and China to Australia and New Zealand to India and beyond, in just one stop. We even fly as far as Mauritius now. So that’s what’s changed. “What has stayed the same through the years is our unending commitment to quality and innovation and the dream that everyone can fly. This wonderful award is a testament to the fact that the dream is still very much alive, and we will continue to hold to this dream as we go into the next 12 years and beyond.” CAPA said Fernandes was selected for the award for successfully steering AirAsia to increased profitability and an improved outlook this year following an “extremely challenging” 2015. It noted the new capital raised from the issuance of new shares, expansion of operations in China, the upcoming relaunch of AirAsia Japan and the formation of an aircraft leasing business which is expected to be spun off, raising more capital and reducing group leverage. CAPA Executive Chairman Peter Harbison said, “AirAsia is back at the front of the pack in the challenging Asian market and Tony has once again shown why he is one of the industry’s leading executives. The original short-haul operations in Malaysia and Thailand are again among the most profitable airlines in Asia while Indonesia and Philippines are expected to be profitable again in H2 2016. AirAsia X is also back in the black following a restructuring.”
The CAPA Aviation Awards are regarded as the pre-eminent awards for strategic excellence in aviation. Recipients are chosen by an independent international panel of judges to reward airlines and airports that are not only successful but also provide industry leadership in adjusting to a new environment. Past winners of the Airline CEO of the Year award include Qantas Airways CEO Alan Joyce, Etihad Airways CEO James Hogan and Willie Walsh, CEO of IAG, the holding company for British Airways, Aer Lingus, Iberia and Vueling. ---About AirAsia Group AirAsia, the leading and largest low-cost carrier in Asia, services the most extensive network with over 120 destinations. Within 15 years of operations, AirAsia has carried over 330 million guests and grown its fleet from just two aircraft to over 200. The airline is proud to be a truly Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) airline with operations in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and India, servicing a network stretching across Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the Middle East and Africa. AirAsia has been named the World’s Best Low Cost Airline at the annual Skytrax World Airline Awards for eight consecutive years from 2009 to 2016. AirAsia is the first airline globally to collaborate with INTERPOL to implement the I-Checkit system to screen the passports of all prospective passengers against information contained in the world police body’s Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database.
