B’non gets int’l aid to obtain ‘mother plant’ for high-yielding coffee variety MALAYBALAY CITY — In order to address efficiency issues in Bukidnon’s coffee production, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) granted assistance to Impalutao, Dalwangan, Sawaga (IMDALSA) coffee farmers to source out a mother plant for high-yielding coffee variety.

This is after the IFAD consultants identified various coffee production issues during their visit in the province early this month, in coordination with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Dutch Consultant Jens Kristensen from the United Kingdom confirmed assistance to IMDALSA group of coffee farmers—an Agrarian Reform farmer-beneficiaries—for the grafting of ‘Catimor’ coffee rootstock and a scion to be sourced from an imported mother plant.

Likewise, this intends to start a nursery of quality ‘Arabica’ coffee seedlings.

This initiative aims to boost the unique and inherent traits of coffee to become disease-resistant and increase crop yield.

THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has stepped up its monitoring efforts amid speculations that prices of basic commodities have spiked as a result of the start of “ber” months for the Yuletide season.

DTI Bukidnon Provincial Director Ermedio J. Abang said the list of suggested retail prices for basic necessities and prime commodities issued recently to guide retailers and consumers still stands.

Do not waste your time The Gospel of Jesus Christ (October3, 2016-Monday) Matthew 24:37-44-But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into

the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be: Are you prepared for everything? How ready are you if just in case, you will be taken at this very moment to face at the judgment arena of the living God. This gospel reminds us to be ready for the unknown

judgment of God. 2 Peter 3:10”But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Weighing the benefits of senior high school

By MELCHOR S. MAGALLANES Teacher II Tangub City National High School

SINCE last June, approximately 1.5 million children across the country attend senior high school for the first time.

DepEd has been gearing up for this moment for several years. The basic education curriculum from kindergarten to Grades 11 and 12 has b e en t horoug h ly reviewed.

The Philippines has embarked on this ambitious reform to align its education system with most other systems around the world and to raise national competitiveness. The government seeks a K-12 system as vital for ensuring that all Filipinos are equipped with the basic skills re-

promised to fund the project which includes the establishment of commercial nursery; grafting process including nursery maintenance; import of the mother plant; the necessary expenses in testing the newly grafted seedlings within the province’s different geographical locations; and the monitoring and evaluation process.

DTI was tasked to undertake three critical steps for the project inception, specifically on the identification of import requirements and its process; consultation with the National Coffee Organization to determine high yielding coffee variety that has a specialty quality; and preparation of the Geographic Indication for registration.

Kristensen encouraged DTI to assist in hastening the implementation of said project, though the amount of assistance has not yet been mentioned during the meeting.

quired to play a full and productive role in society.

Similar reforms aimed at extending access to schooling have frequently resulted in significant gains for all. In the Philippines itself, reforms in the early 1980s that increased access by eliminating tuition fees in high school and building new schools were associated with significant returns.

Research has found that returns resulting from increases in educational attainment are around 15 percent a year compared to an average annual return of only eight percent a year. Studies from other countries also point to significant gains from reforms of this kind.

Regional Director Linda O. Boniao has scheduled a meeting with Department of Agriculture Secretary within the month.

“We will be discussing things about the importation of a ‘mother plant’ for this high-yielding coffee variety—and the project in general,” he said.

This progress in Coffee Industr y of Bukidnon made history during the pre-designed mission of the foreign-funded Rural Agroindustrial Partnership for Inclusive Development and Growth (RAPID Growth) Project in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry.

A Balanced Reading Program

By JESSIE A. MALAYO Agapito Yap Sr. Memorial Elementary School Tugas, Baliangao, Misamis Occidental

Reading is a key tool to all learning areas. It is a gateway to study mathematics, science and other subjects. Reading, in its broader scope, is integrative to other studies, extensive approach and progressive activity. It should not be set into a limited dimension. It should rather be holistic.

Otherwise, limited reading practice can confine

a reader to limited information, shortage of awareness, narrow-mindedness and fanatical thinking.

Adult learners, as well, to be widely informed and become professionally wellrounded persons, need to have a balanced reading program.

What is balanced reading program? According to noted educators, a balanced reading program is a

And I desire that you will always remain part of Malaybalay City Government family even if you are already ‘retired’ from service,” the mayor said.

The momentous Civil Service Month event was an apt occasion for the city government to honor the integrity and dedication endeavored by the 11 accomplished employees and former civil servants namely: Alice S. Alegres and Bernardo Espinosa from City Assessors Office; Rica P. Carcueva from City Accountant’s Office; Aurora S. Togonon, Virginia R. Antipolo, Nelia B. Pedrosa and Pilar R. Sinto from City Health Office; Wilfredo V. Flores and Leonora Sangkay from City General Services Office; Vicente L. Diayon from City Engineer’s Office; and Roger T. Gonzales from City Mayor’s Office.

A posthumous award was also given to the family of the late Jorge P. Cabañelez who worked in the City Planning and Development

Office. He passed away last February 2016.

This year’s ‘Tribute to Retirees’ was held at The Garden Party Venue in Wednesday, 28 September 2016, which is also a component activity of 116th Civil Service Anniversary.

City Officials also graced the occasion along with different office heads and families of the honorees.

It can meant as training the learners to read various context of reading materials and to cultivate a habit of reading for fun, for getting information, and for personal satisfaction. The diagram below shows the flow of a balanced reading program.

The role of campus journalism

By MARITES N. GODINEZ Tigbao Elementary School

SCHOOLS are necessarily a haven for children to discover, practice and perfect necessary lifelong skills. To affirm this is the basic campus journalism in schools. Here, they are introduced with the different journalistic skills in writing, photography, cartooning, layouting and radio script writing and broadcasting. But the best hope yet for this program is to empower pupils into opinionated growing individuals, capable of sound decision making and a firm stand on issues they can understand at their young age. When given this kind of opportunity, we may just see a generation of leaders who are committed to good governance and transparency.

As campus journalists,

stories that talk about people’s feelings on good governance shoulve be written as news. As campus journalists, it is their duty to understand that good governance is necessary inside the classroom, in school and in the community to be able to share these convictions to others.

As campus journalists, they have to lead by example. While they are able to write inspiring stories of cooperation, they have to practice what they write. In order to achieve this, campus journalists have to be seen either leading or being a part in important school activities such as tree planting, school cleanup activities and even in fora about school issues.

The Energ y Regulatory Commission (ERC) requires contestable customers—those with average monthly usage of 1 MW and up—to source power from retail electricity suppliers starting Dec. 26 this year under the Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA) regime.

Starting June 26, 2017, the threshold is set to drop to 750 kwh, allowing more establishments to benefit from competition among power producers that will vie over prices and services.

Competition can drive prices down under the RCOA, AboitizPower chief operations officer Luis Miguel Aboitiz said after the power supply contract signing between AboitizPower and JPark Island Resort and Waterpark. He said that he expects more big consumers to subscribe to AboitizPower as their retail power supplier.

According to the ERC, there are about 970 contestable customers nationwide.

Of the total, more than 120 are in the Visayas.

Italpinas groundbreaks Primavera City in Oro mark francisco, Section Editor

Story and photo by MARK FRANCISCO

“THE cornerstone laying today signifies our lasting trust in Cagayan de Oro and Northern Mindanao,” Italpinas Development Corporation president Jose Leviste III to the loud applause of the audience led

by Mayor Oscar Moreno present during the ceremonial groundbreaking of Primavera City in Pueblo de Oro last Saturday.

“Primavera is a dream project for us as a young company. It is an ambitious project no doubt. From a design standpoint, from a business standpoint, it is ambitious. But Primavera City is our ambition for Cagayan de Oro,” he added.

Expected to cost P653 million, the 11-storey buildings are planned to be integrated, comprising residential (nine floors), office (one) and commercial (one) units. This formula seems to work for Italpinas.

A survey ofPrimavera Residences buyers found that 40 percent bought units as second homes while 37 percent did so for investment purposes.

Designed by Italpinas chair and chief operations officer Romolo Nati, his plan for a uniquely-shaped, seven-tower mixed use project is poised to be a landmark.

Nati, a multi-awarded car designer and green architect, was inspired by the great cities of the world.

“Singapore has the Marina Bay Sands, Sydney it Opera House, CDO should have an iconic landmark on its own – and we are offering PrimaveraCity,” said the Italian Nati.

The ideas of designing a landmark development in rapidly expanding Cagayan de Oro came naturally to Italpinas, said President Jojo Leviste.

It’s a testament to Mindanao’s growth in recent years and the anticipated acceleration of that growth.

“Six years ago, we made a bet on Cagayan de Oro and the markets have proven us right – both the property market that bought up our first project Primavera Residences and the stock market which validated our investment in Mindanao,” explained Leviste.

Monday

Primavera City lies in a PEZA zone and expects to land BPM locators and other businesses seeking

to tap the university town’s rich talent pool.

It is part of Uptown CDO, an area which has
