By Recthie T. Paculba

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – From the 91 towns that complied with the Child Friendly Local Governance Audit (CFLGA) in Northern Mindanao, 45 towns have qualified to vie for

Feature:

the Seal of Child Friendly Local Governance (SCFLG) for 2015.

Delia Maravillosa of the Department of Social Welfare and Development-10 (DSWD) said that the latest turnout of CFLGA is commendable since there

are only two municipalities in the region that have not submitted their audit during the desk review of the Regional Council for the Welfare of Children (RCWC) on August 30.

A Pag-IBIG housing loan insurance has now more dependable features that Pag-IBIG members can rely on during unexpected trying circumstances thanks to the everimproving insurance terms for members who availed of Pag-IBIG hous-

ing loans.

The processing time has also been significantly reduced from 30 days to one day, in line with President Duterte’s directive to reduce red tape.

Last June, Pag-IBIG successfully renegotiated

the increase of the burial benefit under the Mortgage Redemption Insurance (MRI) of Pag-IBIG housing loan borrowers by 10% to P22,000, up by P2,000 from the previous P20,000 burial benefit.

Newly-installed officials oriented on investment

THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Camiguin Provincial Office kick-off its Information and Education Campaign (IEC) series on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and Build-Operate Transfer (BOT) in Guinsiliban town on 22 August. DTI pooled the Sangguniang Bayan Members and discussed PPP and BOT as a strategy and an advocacy to promote private investments in government owned lots to increase employment especially in the countryside. Part of the IEC was showcasing some of the successful PPP/BOT projects in Luzon and other parts of the country that started specifically in the big cities like Metro Manila and Cagayan de Oro areas. DTI promotes investments for vibrant and sustainable local economies to generate more jobs and ultimately make living conditions better for the majority of the population and further complements the local government units (LGUs) in providing systematic approaches and formulating strategies for an investor friendly and business enabling environment.

Problem is just temporary The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Luke 24:3548”They began to relate their experiences on the road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

While they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be to you.” But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit. And He said to them, “Why are

you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See My hands and my feet, which it is I myself; touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.

They were very emotional at the time and made them coward to face the truth of Jesus fortune in Israel. Reminder: Be positive in times of your emotional struggles because it is wrong to

make a decision. Almost emotional people went wrong when they made a decision in life. Do you notice that if you are in emotion; you cannot think and do the exact things because you are grounded by your feelings? Let the time heals the pain, wound and agony within in order that; you can decide the right things and can do the exact things. Do not force a certain thing to happen to you if the time

not yet permitted you to do so. Everything has its own timing. Even the stability of your within has its own time. Ecclesiastes 3:1”There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven.

Because of this, be calm and be passive for the mean time if ever you have emotional crisis and expect that everything will be alright in the right time.

Accept the reality and start

Biblical reflection thinking if how you can move on and how to start it again and again by the help of God. Take note: problem is just temporary but it’s up to you if you will make it permanently.

PH gains 9 notches in most innovative country standing Makati City – The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) welcomes the 2016 Global Innovation Index (GII) report, ranking the Philippines as the 74th most innovative country among 128 economies surveyed.

The report jointly released by World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Cornell University and INSEAD ranked 128 economies in terms of their Global Innovation Index (GII) based on 82 indicators. This 9th edition of the GII explored impacts of innovation-oriented policies on economic growth and development reflected through strategies employed by both high-income and developing countries. Top

countries with highest GII include Switzerland, Sweden, UK, USA, Finland and Singapore.

“We are happy to know that through this GII survey, we know how our country has improved and how Filipinos can achieve the innovation economy that we all aspire for. This would push us to extend more efforts in making innovation as a mindset for every Filipino,” said DTI Industry Promotion Group Undersecretary Nora K. Terrado.

With “Winning Global Innovation,” as the GII 2016’s theme, the report discussed the growing importance of innovation among countries today in achieving future economic growth and the sharing of

knowledge cross-border through global innovation networks. With GII, it includes indicators that go beyond the traditional measures of innovation such as the level of research and development that can be applied for both developed and emerging economies.

The Philippines’ biggest gain is seen in human capital and research, where the Philippines ranked 95th from 123rd in 2015. It measured the quality of the country’s education with its research and development.

“Innovation encompasses intensified research and development activities among universities and we hope to tap higher educational institutions with the

help of other agencies like the Department of Science and Technology (DOST),” emphasized Terrado.

Terrado also highlighted the collaboration of DTI and the private sector in advancing the Startup Ecosystem Development Program (SEDP) which will help enhance the climate for startup businesses, increase the success rate of Filipino innovative enterprises in introducing their products and services in the local and international markets.

The country surged up in six other GII indicators: institution (88th from 102nd), infrastructure (72nd from 83rd), market sophistication (94th from 101st), business sophistication (74th from 81st), knowledge and

Outstanding loans of commercial banks, net of reverse repurchase (RRP) placements with the BSP, grew faster by 17,7 percent in July from 17.6 percent in June. Meanwhile, bank lending inclusive of RRPs grew by 16.0 percent in July following a 16.1-percent growth (revised) in the previous month. On a month-on-month seasonally-adjusted basis, commercial bank lending for loans net of RRPs and loans inclusive of RRPs increased

by 1.2 percent and 1.1 percent, respectively.

Loans for production activities—which comprised more than 80.0 percent of banks’ aggregate loan portfolio— increased by 17.4 percent in July from 17.7 percent in June. The expansion in production loans was driven primarily by increased lending to the following sectors: real estate activities (18.8 percent); electricity, gas, steam and airconditioning supply (26.4 percent);

wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles (14.1 percent); financial and insurance activities (20.7 percent); manufacturing (10.0 percent); and information and communication (35.4 percent). Bank lending to other sectors likewise expanded during the month, except for public administration and defense, compulsory social security which declined by 5.4 percent.

Loans for household consumption rose by 20.6

percent in July from 18.7 percent (revised) in June due to the expansion in credit card loans, motor vehicle loans and salarybased general purpose loans, which offset the decline in other types of household loans.

Going forward, the BSP will continue to ensure that domestic credit and liquidity conditions will keep pace with overall economic growth while remaining consistent with its price and financial stability objectives.

Free speech is the basis of education

By MARIA CHERYL T. SAMONTE Principal 2 Lapasan Elementary School Clarin, Misamis Occidental

WHERE there is free speech, there is always free flow of learning. Free speech in the classroom starts at during elementary years wherein students are allowed to recite and explain their answers in oral quizzes.

That will be true too once a student graduates to college studies. The purpose of a university education is to provide the critical pathway by which students can fulfill their potential, change the trajectory of their families and build healthier and more inclusive societies.

Students will not only learn through the acquisition of a specific knowledge but also through the attainment of intellectual

skills that will serve them their entire life. Students will come to appreciate context, tradeoffs and data. They will master how to recognize complexity, to argue effectively for their positions and to reconsider and challenge their own beliefs Students grasp the complexity of collecting, analyzing, interpreting and deriving meaning from evidence of multiple forms. They learn to imagine alternatives, test their hypotheses and question the accepted wisdom. A good education gives students the intellectual skills and approaches essential to success in much of human endeavor.

Camiguin has Guinsiliban, Mahinog and Sagay while eight towns in Lanao del Norte will qualify for the SCFLG that include Baloi, Kolambugan, Linamon, Magsaysay, Nunungan, Sapad, Sultan Naga Dimaporo and Tangcal.

Misamis Occidental has Ozamiz City, Tangub, Aloran, Baliangao, Bonifcaio, Calamba, Clarin, Jimenez, Lopez Jaena, Panaon, Plaridel, Sapang Dalaga, Sinacaban and Tudela.

The burial benefit is just one of the many features of the MRI offered by the Fund’s new life insurance provider after Pag-IBIG conducted a successful bidding process in 2014, ending the almost 30-year negotiated insurance coverage of all Pag-IBIG home loan borrowers since the 1980s.

The MRI renders the housing loan fully paid upon death of the borrower provided the amortization payments are up to date.

The new insurance also pays the loan in full upon determination of total permanent disability, provides amortization support of up to P500,000 in case of terminal illness, and grants experience refund wherein 20% of the insurer’s profits are refunded to the insured borrower. All these features were not present under the MRI of the previous insurance provider.

The new contract also removed the additional premiums for OFWs and those classified as “medically sub-standard,” which were charged by the previous insurance provider.

Pro c e s s i ng t i m e for claims have also been reduced to as fast as 24 hours from the previous 30 days.

Even with these apparent superior features, premiums were cut by half from P0.41 per P1,000 to only P0.23 per P1,000.

Next to be bidded out will be the Fire and Allied Perils insurance for properties subject of Pag-IBIG housing loans.

In a statement, Pag-IBIG Fund President Atty. Darlene Marie Berberabe said that “PagIBIG Fund is continuously implementing reforms and introducing innovative programs that would ensure the provision of more benefits to Pag-IBIG members.”

“We understand that most of our members cannot visit the SSS offices during weekdays given their working schedule so in celebration of our anniversary month, 109 branches will be open on all Saturdays of September to accept LRP applications,” SSS Assistant Vice President for Member Loans Department Boobie Angela A. Ocay said.

LRP is open to members with past due loans for at least six months as of April 28, 2016 when the program was launched.

Qualified applicants are those who reside or work in a calamity area as declared by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) or the national government. Under the LRP, penalties are condoned as soon as the outstanding principal and interest of the loan is paid.

A total of 54 small, 36 medium, and 19 large SSS branches nationwide were selected to facilitate LRP applications based on their transaction volume. In NCR Operations Group for instance, have designated 43 branches to render services for LRP availment namely Cubao, Deparo, Diliman, Fairview,

Meanwhile, Ocay also reminded those who already availed their LRP to be diligent in their payments whether they are in full or instalment. “LRP has a conditional waiver of penalties.

Penalties shall only be condoned after full payment of LRP balance.

If borrower becomes past due again under restructuring, the penalty will not be condoned. ” Ocay pointed out.

In related news, SSS is celebrating its 59th founding anniversary with the theme “SSS at 59: Kaagapay at Kabalikat sa Pagbabago”. The pension fund emphasizes its continuing reforms to further improve its operations and service delivery to all members and beneficiaries.

NCCA calls for proposals, readies grants CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- Do you have a film you want to make? Do you want your local government unit to undertake cultural development projects? Do you have an exhibit in mind that will uplift the cultural consciousness of your community? Do you want to do an arts and cultural festival for your community or school? Do you want to conduct research on a certain aspect of Filipino culture? It is possible for that planned workshop, that painting session, that training on traditional weaving to become reality.

The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), led by its chairman

Felipe M. de Leon Jr., OICExecutive Director Adelina M. Suemith and Deputy Executive Director Marichu G. Tellano, continues to fulfil its mandate of preserving, developing and promoting of Philippine arts and culture by giving financial and technical assistance to arts and cultural projects.

Encouraging artistic creation and empowering the artists and cultural workers, the NCCA is now accepting proposals for projects to be implemented in 2017. It is also looking for implementing partners of projects which have been conceptualized by the agency.

For 2017, the NCCA is providing venues for the dif-

ferent regions to articulate their local culture and development concerns which the different programs and projects shall address. In line with this, the priority programs and projects identified are grouped into island cluster—National Capital Region (NCR), Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

The NCCA has set two categories of proposals.

Category A includes projects which have been conceptualized during the various levels of planning workshops by its various national committees following the identified needs of the locality and where specific outputs and deliverables had been defined. Projects in this

category will have three or more component activities.

Proponents interested to implement projects under this category may submit a letter of intent.

On the other hand, Category B calls for project proposals conceptualized by proponents with due consideration to the important concerns cited in the project brief and aligned to the identified NCCA priorities and outcomes.

Interested proponents may submit a project proposal.

Project briefs as well as guidelines and requirements can be viewed and downloaded at the NCCA Web site.

Filipino individuals as

well as civil society organizations, indigenous peoples’ organizations/groups, local government units, government agencies, state universities/colleges and public schools are all encouraged to apply.

Deadline of submissions of letters of intent and proposals is on September 30, 2016.
