DA to expand rice R&D efforts to boost output

By PAT SAMONTE Regional Editor-Caraga

BUTUAN City––The Department of Agriculture (DA) said It plans to expand its research and development efforts on rice to help further improve the production of the crop.

In a me di a rele as e emailed to Mindanao Daily News-Butuan Bureau, Agriculture Secretary Pro-

A1

ceso Alcala said the DA also intends to intensify the commercialization of diversified and integrated rice based farming systems such as, Palayamanan to enable farmers increase their productivity and incomes.

According to Alcala, in Palayamanan, farmers are taught to combine rice growing with the cultivation of vegetables and other highvalue crops, as well as fish

and livestock raising. The DA promotes the technology through the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) and National Rice Program.

PhilRice said rice production in the country has been on the uptrend for the past three years. It said between 2010 and 2013, milled rice production grew by an average of 4.04 percent.

In 2014, palay harvest is projected to reach 18.88

million metric tons, 2.4 percent bigger than the 2013 record output of 18.44 million metric tons.

The DA chief said the entire country owes this to the farmers who tirelessly worked to lead the country towards greater rice sufficiency and increased food security.

Anti-smoking task force arrests 4,396 violators

D

By Diana Tomale, Davao Today Intern

AVAO CITY – Authorities here arrested more smokers than the previous years, as they noted also an increase in the number of establishments which violated the anti-smoking ordinance.

The Anti-Smoking Task Force recorded a total of 4,396 arrests last year, which include individuals and establishments, for v i ol at i ng t he C it y Ordinance No. 0367-12, known as The New Comprehensive Anti-Smoking Ordinance.

Dr. Domilyn Villarreiz, co-chairperson of the

Anti-Smoking Task Force, said the number of arrests this year is much higher than the previous years.

“We used to have just 3,000 plus, usually 3,500.

It increased to around 800,” she said.

“There are still violators among restaurants and night spots. There was one night spot that

I visited which allows people to smoke in an outdoor space where there are people,” she said. The city ordinance disallowed smoking in outdoor areas near entrances and exits of buildings or establishments.

But as the number of arrests increased, Villarreiz said this also translated into higher revenues, reaching P2, 370,796 from the period June 2013 up to November last year.

“We c ol l e c te d P 1 . 4 million last year alone,” she said.

T h e Mo b i l e Pat r o l Group apprehended the number of violators with 1,577, followed by Talomo Police Station (770), Sta. Ana Police Station (535), San Pedro Police Station (521), Sasa Police Station

(333).

“This year, the antis m ok i ng c amp ai g n i n Davao City would turn 13 years on May 31. So, on its 13th year, we will be giving recognition to individuals, the enforcers as well as the police stations and station commanders, those in the top five,” Villarreiz said.

Villarreiz said that it is high time for the AntiSmoking Task Force to intensify the campaign this year.

“Maybe we would go into each establishment and check for compliance which means placing of signages and also informing the customers which we always do but this time, we really have to look into details,” she said. (davaotoday.com)

Streamline government bureaucracy to prevent wastage of limited resources There’s a growing need to reorganize and streamline the entire government bureaucracy to prevent wasting limited resources.

According to neophyte lawmakers, sound expenditure management in the bureaucracy should be accorded high importance because through the years, government resources have become limited and the needs of society remained inexhaustible HB 24 is entitled “An Act Reorganizing the Government Bureaucracy, creating a Government Reorganization Commission, Defining its powers and functions and for other purposes,” and will be known as the “Government Reorganization Act of 2013.”

The proposed Government Reorganization Commission will undertake studies and propose measures to abolish, merge, integrate, transfer, regroup, or restruc-

ture departments, bureaus, offices, government-owned and controlled corporations and other agencies of the Executive Branch in order to eliminate overlapping and/ or fragmentation of functions related to programs and activities.

Indeed, as argued by the proponents, the present set-up of the government made it a significant contributor to the tremendous waste of resources in the Philippine economy. By focusing the government’s limited resources on the provision of basic services, the government would effectively reduce poverty and possibly bring about the economic resurgence of the country.

A massive trimming down of the bureaucracy is needed to do away with the unnecessary and redundant appendages of the government.

Un d e r H B 2 4 , t h e

Editorial members of the proposed Commission shall include: the chairman of the Senate Committee on Civil Service and Government Reorganization, who will be its chairman; Chairman of the House committee on Government Reorganization, who will be a co-vice chairman; chairman of the House committee on Civil Service, who will be co-vice chairman; Three (3) majority members of the Senate Committee on Civil Service and Government Reorganization; One (1) minority member of the said Senate committee; One (1) majority member of the House Committee on Government reorganization; One (1) majority member of the House committee on Civil Service; One (1) minority member of the House Committee on Civil

Service and/or Government Reorganization; Chairman and two (2) members of the Civil Service Commission; Representatives from the private sector to be appointed by the President; and representatives from a recognized government employees organization to be nominated by members of such organization.

The Commission, once approved, is mandated to pursue a survey of the government bureaucracy and draft a plan of reorganization of all entities and offices of the Executive branch of government. Covered are all departments and their respective attached agencies, bureaus, offices, commissions, boards, councils, authorities, including government-owned and controlled corporations, state universities and colleges, and all other instrumentalities of the Executive branch.

Cans of Worms’ at the Provincial Capitol While the verbal tussle between the Executive Department and the City Council in Cagayan De Oro City continues to rage, the provincial Capitol in Misamis Oriental is also digging the skeletons in the closet.

There are insinuations that former provincial Gov. Oscar S. Moreno left cans of worms at the provincial Capitol before hopping and running for the mayoral post in Cagayan De Oro City in 2013. There were accusations that Moreno scooped the treasury of Misamis Oriental and left a debt of about P 2 Billion.

One of the most intriguing issues was also the allegation that the Moreno administration failed to pay more than P 200 million obligations to the PhilHealth in Misamis Oriental.

The financial woes that Moreno allegedly left to his successor was one of its kind in local governance.

Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why the incumbent provincial governor becomes slim and slender?

When everyone thought that the problem is over, comes some more surprising find.

Now, this is all about the

The CYNOSURE

transactions made by the Provincial Engineers Office and the Bidding and Awards Committee (BAC) during Moreno’s incumbency.

This time, the Commission on Audit (COA) in Manila has released a Notice of Disallowance to former Gov. Moreno and former BAC members in connection with the payments made from 2007, 2010, 2011 to 2012, amounting to more than P 20 million.

Aside from the Notice of Disallowance, the COA also issued a separate Notice of Suspension for the payment of another P 20 million on transactions made from 2008, 2009, and 2010.

It is also noticeable that the transactions made under these contracts were mostly

for equipment rentals. Except for the Earthtools Development Corporation, which entered only about three transactions, the rest of the transactions were made by the Equipment Corporation which totaled to almost P 20 million. Perhaps, the COA noticed this, too.

Anyway, it was not the transaction that caught the eye of the COA ‘though. The COA noticed that all those transactions did not undergo proper bidding. COA also scoffed on the canvassing that were reportedly rigged.

In effect, the COA has given Moreno and the former members of the BAC to return the more than the P 20 million paid for the alleged anomalous transactions with the Equipment Corporation.

It was not only Moreno, who was held liable of the alleged anomalous transactions. Likewise, the COA also ordered the former members of the BAC to return the taxpayers’ money, which were spent under an alleged irregular transactions.

The other members of the former BAC include Elmer N. Wabe, acting provincial budget officer, Patrictk Gabutina, provincial ad-

ministrator, Atty. Imelda Marie Beltran, provincial legal officer, Atty. Jose Sabanal, provincial legal officer, Elsie Lopoy, provincial general services office, Engr.

Rolando M. Pacuribot, assistant provincial engineer, Danilo O. Maputol, provincial agriculturist, Leenmar Tinagan, PGSO canvasser, Equipment Corporation and Earthtools Development Corporation. By the way, are these former workers at the provincial Capitol given juicy positions in the City Hall? Just asking..

The COA also ordered the incumbent Governor Bambi Emano to desist payments of the more than P 20 million to Equipment Corporation and Earthtools Development Corporation until the issue is resolved.

Somehow, we could only say that unless formal cases are filed against Moreno, et al., in court, all these insinuations and allegations are nothing but nonsense. Or, we could safely say that the “cans of worm” that Moreno reportedly left at the provincial capitol in Misamis Oriental are, but, empty cans.-0- react: crisguardians@yahoo.com

Acenas: bloated budget not good for taxpayers Bukidnon • Camiguin • Lanao del Norte • Lanao del Sur • Misamis Occidental • Misamis Oriental

“WHILE it is always good to aspire to give more services to the people, having a bloated budget to support this will be a heavy burden to taxpayers and the people we want to serve,” Cagayan de Oro City Vice Mayor Caesar Ian Acenas said.

Acenas said this is one of the reasons why the 17th City Council decided to override the veto of Mayor Oscar Moreno on several provisions of Ordinance No. 12903-2014, otherwise known as the General Appropriations Ordinance of 2015.

He said the P3.8 billion budget submitted by the city mayor for this year is a 65-percent increase in the P2.3 billion budget last year.

He said an increase of 148.5-percent was projected by the executive department on business tax collections, from P444,695,600 last year to a high P1.1 billion for 2015.

Meanwhile, real prop-

den to our taxpayers?” He added.

“After the government takes enough to balance the budget, the taxpayer has the job of budgeting the balance, as one quote says. Let us not forget this in our aspirations, let us not squeeze out the blood from erty tax for this year was our taxpayers,” stressed the projected by the executive budget of the mayor to reach P500,676,830 from its P243,730,400 budget in 2014. He noted that actual collections of the city for the first semester of 2014 was only P86,322,901.27 but most collections are made before December 31.

“This is an increase of P105.4 percent,” stressed the vice mayor, adding that the collection proposal of the mayor for this year was raised from the P2 billion last year to a high P3.4 billion.

vice mayor.

HOSPITAL FEES According to the vice mayor, even projections for hospital fees was raised from P30,000,000 to P239,775,838 or 799.3 percent.

“How can service come first if we are projecting such high income from the hospital,” cited the vice

mayor. Where will these funds come from? Our poor patients,? he asked.

He said budgeting should be realistic and achievable. If the city financial czars had other resources for these, these should have been presented to the City Council during budget deliberations.

Detailed project proposals

Abu Sayyaf Group behind bomb explosion in Zamboanga City

By Teofilo P. Garcia Jr.

ZAMBOANGA City––Authorities have tagged the Abu Sayyaf brigands as thode responsible in the powerful bomb explosion Friday that killed two people and injured 52 others in this city.

Mayor Ma. Isabelle Climaco-Salazar in a press conference Saturday at City Hall said the incident was related with last Monday’s foiled plan of Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) members to escape from the local detention facility.

The bomb exploded around 3:15 p.m. Friday in front of a pub house located across the bus terminal in Barangay Guiwan, this city.

It was placed aboard a car that was parked in front of the pub house.

Salazar said the ASG plan was to set off the bomb to divert the attention of the security forces while the ASG detainees will stage jail break while another group would storm the detention facility

“Their target was really to destabilize the government by creating a diversionary tactic,” Salazar added.

Malnutrition : School Based Feeding Program (SBFP)

By Sherwin Hermetanio Puntian Elementaary School District of Quezon 11, Division of Bukidnon

Medecinenet.com defines malnutrition as a term used to refer any condition in which body does not receive enough nutrition for proper functions. It may range from from mild to severe and life -threatening. Lack of access to highly nutritious foods is one of the common cause of malnutrition Poor feeding practices, offering wrong foods also contribute to malnutrition.Poverty has a big impact in contributing malnutrition.It is one of the basic problems encountered by our government. Previously, the government remains deaf and blind with this problem. It seems that malnutrition is just an easy problem that can be solved with our own.. We even anticipated that malnutrition affects the daily development of a child in school, how can they interact in the school if they are weak ? How can they perform well and absorb their lessons if their brains and other system are not functioning properly because of poor nutrition?. We are so lucky that the government now gives attention to it and kills the very root of the poor performance of the children in school and that is the “malnutrition “. The DepEd Secretary Armin Liustro ordered the implementation of

the School Based Feeding Program ( SBFP) to address undernutrition and short term hunger among public school children nationwide. Luistro said that 120 - day SBFP is expected to teach the children nutritional values and behavior and to improve their health, resulting in 85- 100 percent classroom attendance. The SBFP aims to give the children hot meals based on malunggay recipes and 20 -day cycle menus using locally produced or grown food, assuring beneficiaries of 300 additional calories to address their nutritional deficiencies. Teachers, parents, pupils and barangay officials work hand in hand to be this program a successful one.

We are challenge every day to reach our goals and to aim for zero malnourished children. It is fulfilling if there is an improvement on their weights, seeing our malnourished children getting better and performing in the school well, this is an indication that we are doing right. And with this we are motivated by out pupils to be more dedicated to our work. Seeing them more active and having healthy lifestyle is an indication that they will be having high and good performance in school that will lead them to a good and secure future.

Rise in food prices:

Good for economy but hurts the poor - study

A

N INCREASE in world prices of agricultural commodities has nuanced impacts: Good for the nation’s economy but bad for the poor.

Professor German Calfat, an expert on the relationship and nature of trade and national development at the University of Antwerp, shared this conclusion during a seminar-forum organized by state think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS).

His presentation was based on the findings of his research on Poverty impacts of changes in the price of agricultural commodities: Recent evidence for Argentina (an ex-ante analysis).

The study found that, in the experience of Argentina, an increase in world prices of agricultural commodities have positive macro effects on the Argentinian economy.

However, the poorest

and most vulnerable sector of society were negatively affected.

The changes in labor income positively affected only the middle class, in that labor income increased. But the positive changes weren’t enough to compensate the overall increase in commodity prices.

Professor Calfat recommended that, as a countermeasure, Argentina and any country facing a similar situation should enforce complementary actions to address the distributional impact, especially on the poor, of raising international commodity prices.

The models used in Professor Calfat’s study relied on data from individual households. They demonstrated the relationship between wages, the increase in international prices, and the respondents’ highest educational level.

The study, however, did

not include non-labor income in its models.

Professor Calfat’s conclusions raise questions on the notion that trade liberalization is good for all. The study shows that is not always the case.

Professor Calfat encouraged more studies to be done on the matter. Government

measures that anticipate price changes and the interacting nature of their impacts must be enforced to protect those most vulnerable to the negative effects.

Philippine researchers and policymakers can replicate the models used and undertake their own study to gauge the distributional

impact of trade liberalization and its relationship to poverty.

One relevant area worth looking into is the rice sector and the effects of the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) extension of the high duties on imported rice.

The WTO Council for Trade in Goods approved the

Philippines’ waiver request for a special treatment on rice until 2017.

The country sought the extension to give farmers time to enhance their production capability and adjust to the increasing competing with other rice-producing countries in the region.

The DepEd’s senior high school program

By John Michael Cariño Carbonera Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte

K to 12 Basic Education Program has been an epitome of changes in the Philippine educational system.

This program is created following the government’s purpose to elevate education here in the country. In a Department of Education article, K to 12 Basic Education program, including Senior High School, is made to fixate the problems on education and to fundamentally reform the basic education curriculum so that learners can have a true mastery of basic competencies and a more deliberate path to the world of work and entrepreneurship or are better prepared for higher learning.

Senior High School is part of the system’s 12-year education cycle. The curriculum for Grade 11 along with Grade 4 was supposed to come out in 2016 while those for Grade 12 and Grade 5 were due in 2017. So, the original plan for Grade 11, the first stage of Senior High School, nationwide is to commence by June 2016.

However, under K to 12 flagship, President Benigno Aquino III decided to implement the senior high school (Grade 11 to 12) a year earlier than scheduled as he wish to see the K to 12 reform through during his term. He wanted half of the Grade 11 students to already start by June 2015.

The government selected some schools in the Philippines to do pilot implementation to test the program by year 2012-2013, way ahead of the mandatory implementation in 2016 as mandated by Republic Act 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013. It is good to think that pilot schools such as the University of Makati produced good results.

Fact be told, several feedbacks fronted the SHS program.

However, the important is Philippines is looking ahead. Thinking about the growing population and a budding economy, the demand for quality education is high, and making education higher in quality is the current administration’s initiative.

“Pero sometimes danghag ang ubang mga empleyado sa mall, malimtan nila og sulod ug mao ni ang nahitabo sa ako,” Dahino said in her report before her colleagues at the City Council.

With that, Dahino said she understands the stand of the malls in preventing thievery but they must protect their customers first.

“Imaginon nimo kung taga-Naawan ka nag-bulk og grocery ka diri sa Cagayan, balikan pa lugar nimo ang isa ka carton nga premium nga gatas. Kalas na kaayo na sa gasolina or plete,” she said.

Dahino said that two more of her constituents who have shopped in two other malls have reported to her that they have experienced similar problems.

With that, Dahino and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) provincial director Elisa Pabillore has already met with management of several malls located here to discuss the matter.

Incidentally, Dahino is also the chair of the City Council committee on trade and commerce.

of Saturday morning 10 of the 47 injured victims were still in the hospitals.

The bomb, which exploded around 3:15 p.m.

Friday, was placed in a car parked in front of a disco pub located across the bus terminal in Barangay Guiwan.

The bomb explosion also destroyed a car and a tricycle as well as shattered window glasses of several business establishments nearby.

A source from the Explosives Ordnance Demolition (EOD) team said they recovered bomb fragments which appear to be a mortar shell but added they are still awaiting laboratory analysis to ascertain whether or not it is mortar shell debris.

But the police and military tagged the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) behind the

bombing.

Mayor Climaco-Salazar told a press conference at City Hall on Saturday that the bombing was related to Monday’s foiled escape of Abu Sayyaf members from the Zamboanga City Reformatory Center.

Salazar said the plan of the ASG was to explode the bomb last Monday to divert the attention of the police and military forces while the ASG detainees will stage jail break and another group would storm the ZCRC to rescue their comrades.

“Their target was really to destabilize the government by creating a diversionar y tactic,” Salazar added.

She said the main target was to rescue from the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP)-administered ZCRC the two brothers of Basilan-based Abu Sayyaf leader Furuji Indama, namely, Benzar and Musang.

Chief Insp. Julius Arro, ZCRC warden, said there are 56 suspected members of the ASG, including the two Indama brothers, who are in their custody.

Salazar said the ASG pushed through with their planned bombing on Friday although the plan to rescue their comrades last Monday was foiled.

“They were unsuccessful with the plan to rescue but they pushed through their intention,” she said citing it is “to scare us” and to show they have the capability to carry out their bad intention.

The rescue plan was foiled when the BJMP personnel detailed at the ZCRC seized on Monday three caliber .45 pistols and 140 rounds of ammunition delivered to an ASG detainee.

The guns and bullets were concealed at the bottom of two home-made concrete charcoal stoves delivered to an ASG detainee by three persons, two of them women, at the ZCRC. Salazar said the city government is providing financial assistance to the families of Valente and Tan as well as to the wounded victims. (MindaNews)

“I tried to say no because I’m not really interested [to run in the presidential race]. But the more I listen to the pain and sufferings of the people, well I need a sign from God,” Duterte added.

Duterte was in this city on Thursday for a forum to promote federalism as a form of government.

Should he become president, he said he would “leave the county with a legacy of a federal form of government.”

Duterte told the crowd he will go around the country to listen to the voices of the people to help him decide whether to bat for the presidency.

country. I’m not sharing with you my ambition. But sometimes, it’s just hard to control since a lot had been asking and pushing [me to run]. I’m listening and I will go around the country for a listening tour,” he said.

But what will Duterte immediately do if he becomes the president?

“If ever I will become the president, I will not sit there without any changes. The first task is to put an end to corruption. I will ask them [corrupt officials] to resign from the government. If they won’t resign, then I will have them arrested.

If you don’t trust me as a dictator in the presidency, then that’s your problem,” he said.

Former North Cotabato governor Manny Pinol, who was with Duterte, said the event was the first of

their countrywide tour to promote a federal form of government and to listen to the people.

“In a s p a n of t w o months, Duterte will travel to the different parts of the country to listen to the people and talk about federalism,” Pinol said, adding their next stop is Zamboanga City.

“We would like to cover at least the key cities in the country,” said Pinol, who has been staunchly pushing Duterte to seek the presidency.

A nationwide signature campaign has been launched to convince Duterte to run for the country’s top post.

Vice President Jejomar Binay and Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas are among those reportedly interested to run for president. (MindaNews)

Plato CDO a new dining concept MONDAY

HEN a group of ten local restaurateurs and chefs hang out together over a bucket of ice cold beer, what do you get? A new dining concept was born.

Jonathan Mempin (Chino’s Deli), the group’s de facto spokesperson, said that popup joints have already achieved cult following in places such as Los Angeles, New York or even certain cities in France, Britain, Cuba, Finland and Australia for the past five years or so. This time, they’re introducing it to CDO. The concept of a popup is similar to that of your suki barbecue vendor in Cogon where they mount their tables and chairs for the night and start whipping

up their skewers. But Plato CDO wants to elevate that to a more classy and avantgarde almost noirish style.

So how will they do that?

To understand better on

what they’re planning, let’s know first the background of the restaurateurs and chefs who have formulated this innovative idea.

Jonathan’s cousin Chino Mempin is the owner of Chino’s Deli. Ryan Rivero is currently the executive chef of High Ridge. Josef Martin Javier is the owner of the upcoming Dahilayan bed and breakfast Balay sa Wahig. Angelo Reyes has been head chef for eight years in an international cruise ship and has been fe atu re d i n Pam a h aw Espesyal’s Busog Trip. He’s also a food blogger. Cheryl Borlado is head chef at Junno Deli Café. Jurique

Daayata is a cook at Junno Deli Café. Rugert Abria is a chef who loves diving.

Sarah Mae Concepcion is an apprentice chef. And Karen Happy Villardo is a nutritionist.

When you gather all these ladies and gentlemen together in a drinking chitchat, there’s only one topic on the table: food.

Out of the blue, one of them suggested, “Let’s do a popup. It’s new here in CDO. They’re gonna like it.”

To understand more on what a popup setting looks like, it was conceptualized abroad for young chefs to gain exposure of their skills

PA T R I C K G a b u t i n a was a vice-mayor of Lagonglong, Misamis Oriental. Then he became provincial administrator.

Then he became an instructor at Tagoloan Community College.

Now he’s a consu lt ant

at Lumbia City Jail. But through all these times, Gabutina never forgot his roots: art.

It is in this respect that Gabutina launched the Tinabuan Christmas Exhibit at Capricho Art Café last November 15.

beyond what is offered in the restaurants that they are employed with. As a result, the experimental dishes that they offer are the primary reason for their popularity. And Plato CDO wants to replicate that here.

Also in a popup setting, diners typically make use of social media to make online reservations. That’s exactly what Plato CDO did. In less than 48 hours, all the 30 reservations for their very first popup dinner happening this Wednesday at Junno Deli Café have gobbled up.

Now let’s look at the yummy six-course menu of what the reserved guests can expect this Wednesday: Crispy Chicken Pate (crispy chicken skin snack with chicken liver pate topped with organic greens and cured eggyolk), Roasted Salad (roasted cabbage and onions, 63-degree egg served with grated dehydrated beef heart on top), Seafood Medley (a medley of butter poached

imbao clam and pickled seaweed topped with light potato nurse I corn and kaffir lime sauce), Greeny Steamed Fish (banana leafroasted and steamed mayamaya fish fillet topped with local vegetal, pured with saffron-infused sauce), 16-hour Pork Belly (pork belly sous-vided for 16 hours embellished with chamomile and oxalis leaves poured with lechon jus highlighted by cream infused roasted rice) and Coco-Snowed Sikwate Ice Cream (homemade sikwate ice cream topped with coconut snow and burnt roses.)

Hmm….yummy indeed!

What’s str iking ab out these courses is that each ingredient is available fresh and local. Well that’s what Plato CDO is all about. For those who haven’t reserved yet, you can still catch up their next popup dinner happening this February.

But this one this Wednesday will be their first in CDO. I’m looking forward for it.

Patrick Gabutina’s (right) well wishers in the event include Ingrid Agudo (second from left) and her daughter (left), and Centrio’s Loren Yasay (second from right) and Amanda Zablan (third from right).

It w a s a m o n t h - l o n g exhibit that lasted till December 20.

Ever ything that you see in the ar t is made of t w i gs – t w i gs f rom driftwood, dried grass and even dried flowers.

For those who missed the Tinabuan Christmas trees, sinamay dolls, twigg y wreaths and t o p i a r y o n d i s p l a y, Gabutina has a shop i n h i s n at i v e t ow n of Lagonglong.

Kiss from a rose SHE’s an AB English student so she must be aware who Tennessee Williams is. One of the great works of Tennessee Williams was A Streetcar Named Desire which first opened on Broadway in December 3, 1947. At the time, only avid literary fans and even to this day know who Tennessee Williams is. It was only in 1951 when the great

white hunk of Hollywood in the era Marlon Brando starred in a film version of A Streetcar Named Desire that the whole world was introduced to his love interest in the movie Stella. Well I’d like to call her our protagonist here my Stella.

Stella walked into the doors of the office last November 17 to be exact. She

was with her classmate and they would be having their internships here. At the time (and even to this day….hehe) I was busy with the Lifestyle page of this paper. Of course, I couldn’t help noticing her pulchritude, her sexiness, the mole below her left eye which was just about right.

But at the time too, Stella was busy assisting the 1st Northern Mindanao Journalism Awards so we really had no time to get acquainted, just mere hi’s and hellos here and there. Even during the ICT Awards at Centrio, I didn’t even care to be near her.

But as the clouds of November rain slowly dissipated and December came a’callin, I couldn’t resist any longer and began to chat with Stella where we exchanged numbers.

Days later was our annual Christmas party and the whole gang went night-outing after.

The midnight quickly turned into dawn with Stella, her friend and me chitchatting and whiling the time away. It was pretty much like that scene in Spring Breakers (2012) where there was nothing but ecstasy and partying.

After that was a two-week long holiday in the office. But before New Year came, I was still able to get a glimpse of Stella in a stunning sleeveless figure-hugging dress at the journalism competition awards night and she really looked simply adorable! The holiday streak continued.

January appeared and I hopped onto Stella’s company first at the balutan nearby the office and onto Bisag-asa

where we were initiated to our first tuslob buwa experience. The next day, Stella and I went to Que Rico where I got to know more about her. The day after that, she accompanied me to a 4th ID coverage. In return, I accompanied her to a worship session at Jesus Is Alive. The next morning was supposed to be the fourth contiguous time for us together. Then something happened.

I wasn’t able to wake up early and I left her stranded at Camp Evangelista gate for 40 darn minutes! She was so angry that she texted me, “Utro di na jd ko moubn cover sa imu bahala ka dra!”

Still sleepily dazed, I felt like Marlon Brando wanting to scream, “Hey Stellaaaaaaaaaa!

Ayyy Stellaaaaaaa!!!!”

It was cold treatment for almost two weeks in the office. Then Stella slowly warmed up back to me, understandably accepting my remorse. I could stare straight at that adorable mole below the left eye once again. Yup that’s Stella.
