DOT launches Visit Philippines 2015 in Normin

By Mike Baños Editor-at-Large

THE Department of Tourism (DOT) in Region 10 today launches 2015 as “Visit the Philippines Year” (VPY) in Northern Mindanao at the Activity Center of upscale Centrio Mall in Cagayan de Oro City.

“This launch is a response to Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez Jr.’s directive to move tourism out of Manila and urge people

to visit other places such as Northern Mindanao,” said Catalino E. Chan III, DOT-10 regional director.

Earlier Jimenez cited the key role of local government units (LGUs) in spurring tourism outside Metro Manila.

“Kung saan masigasig talaga ang local [government], doon malakas ang tourism. Pag aktibista sa tourism ang LGU, magsasucceed,” Jimenez stressed.

The DOT and the Tour-

ism Promotions Board (TPB), its marketing and promotions arm, launched its new campaign during the Philippine Travel Exchange (PHITEX) at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City last September 4, 2014.

For today’s launch in Northern Mindanao, Milo Oropesa, TPB promotions specialist, is slated to present the salient points of the VPY 2015 program to tourism stakeholders from

around the region.

Jimenez said the new campaign will not replace “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” but is meant to refresh and sustain the original campaign. DOT also launched a microsite (http://phl2015.itsmorefuninthephilippines.com/) as a directory of the various events around the country under the recently improved DOT website (http://itsmorefuninthephilippines.

Testimonies describing Coquilla as a good man were also posted by his colleagues and friends.

“I know Mervin personally. He is a good and humble officer in the BJMP [Bureau of Jail Management and Penology]. He is a family man and a good friend but the NPAs ignored all of these.

“Brothers and sisters winning a revolution is through the hearts of those who care for the needy.

Oro may be a target of the terrorists.

Gonda said they also are coordinating with hotels and inns around the city.

He added, however, that the reports are subject to continuous validation in the coming days.

Gonda said precautionary measures have been enforced by the commanders in all police stations and outposts. “ The public has the right to know,” he said.

January 9 is the schedule for the Black Nazarene procession around the city, a large public event.

The vigil for this event will be held at the Pelaez Sports Center which has a seating capacity of thousands.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez, 4th from left, together with the Vice-Chairmen of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Bangsamoro Basic Law engage in a discussion with the Northern Ireland Policing Board to learn how Northern Ireland is handling the peace and order in their territory. This was conducted during the congressional study tour of the officers of the Ad Hoc Committee in Belfast, Northern Ireland last month. KENDISCHAVES KUYAMIS FESTIVAL is an occasion associated with the founding of the province of Misamis Oriental since it became a separate and independent local government unit on January 1, 1930 by virtue of Republic Act 3537.

Historical jottings and sources reveal that KUYAMIS is the original name of MISAMIS. It is a variety of sweet coconut, which was a staple food of the earliest known Negrito settlers of Misamis. The word “KUYAMIS” was later corrupted to “MISAMIS” when the Spanish colonizers came.

The highlight of the KUYAMIS FESTIVAL is the showcasing of products and by-products made out of the TREE OF LIFE - the COCONUT. Items, handicrafts, articles, stuffs and food or Filipino delicacies that necessarily use coconut and its parts are sold by different participating municipalities. Art exhibits are also conducted by local artists from Misamis Oriental.

As the province commemorates its 85th Founding Anniversary, the provincial government launches the 2ND KUYAMIS FESTIVAL on January 5-10, 2015 with the theme “PANAGDAIT ALANG SA MAUSWAGON, MALAMBUON UG MALIPAYONG MISAMIS ORIENTAL”.

It is high time to investigate airline companies for excessive fares, delays and dismal service

Last Christmas day the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA 3) was in a real mess with long lines of passengers, delayed and cancelled flights.

Passengers sit and sleep in floors and in stools for hours waiting for their flights.

Several complaints had been lodged at the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) counter at NAIA 3. The complainants were passengers of Cebu Pacific Air who were not able to board their flights. The scene was the same in various airports throughout the country.

It is sad to note that this become a common occurrence in our air-

ports for years now and are just among the numerous problems plaguing airline passengers. Delayed and cancelled flights; exorbitant rebooking fees and penalties. The other problem is that when it is the airlines who cancel or change schedules there are no penalties to refund the passengers.

It is good that lawmakers are now also probing on the problem particularly for Cebu Pacific passengers who are deceived with low initial base fare but in the end the fare shoots up due to big taxes and surcharges . Another ridiculous charge that passengers are aghast is the web administration fee.

Editorial

Where in the world could find that?

Investigate also airlines which in several instances do not use the passenger tube making it difficult for the elderly and the sick as they have to go down the tarmac. What kind of service is this?

A substantial decrease in fuel prices last year led to lower fares in jeepneys and other public transport but the airline rates have not gone down. A decrease in airline rates will not only result in a temporary relief for airline passengers but could also ease the rising

prices of some commodities transported through these airline companies. This is another assignment for law makers.

These perennial problems have been plaguing passengers for a long time now. What have the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) done? It has failed to protect the interest of airline passengers.

The dismal service and excessive fares of airline companies in the country and the inability of the Civil Aeronautics Board to protect airline passengers can backfire on the economy.

Something must be done.

Real hard.

What is ‘Kuyamis Festival’ all about?

Misamis Oriental launches the “Kuyamis Festival” on Monday to Friday at the sprawling provincial capitol ground to steer the province’s journey toward the prospect of 2015.

A year ago, provincial Gov. Yevgency Vincente Emano, launched the weeklong festival to set the course of one of his administration’s flagship programs in a bid to put the province of Misamis Oriental in the country’s tourism roadmap.

The young governor, believes that the development of the local tourism industry to its fullest would bring more jobs, infrastructure developments, and unequaled economic opportunities for the people of Misamis Oriental.

But, what is the significance of the “Kuyamis

Happy New Year my dear readers! Finally, I am back again after almost two weeks time-out. Several days even without internet and cellphone? Can you imagine it?

Of course, during Christmas Eve and New Years Night, I stayed in Davao City and enjoyed the 14th season without firecracker explosions. Imagine, the pyrotechnic materials had to be flown in via Butuan City and from there transported by land until Panabo City. From Panabo, which is located at the boundary with Davao, the materials had to be transported by boat to Samal Island fronting Davao.

Festival” that Gov. Emano adopted its concept to become one of the province’s drawing tourism programs?

Why choose the month of January?

For ordinary citizens, “Kuyamis Festival” is meaningless. However, for the people of Misamis Oriental, the festival evokes the pas-

sion of the long forgotten past that, again, has been put to life to reclaim the historic rights of its people.

The domestic and foreign tourists expect the festival to display an array of the province’s indigenous creativeness that has persisted through the years since the province was created on Nov. 2, 1929 through Legislative Act No. 3537.

The “Kuyamis Festival 2015” is an annual Thanksgiving and a tribute to the ancient norms of the”Aetas” or “Negritos” who thrived in Misamis with a variety of sweet coconuts as their staple food.

“Kuyamis,” means a variety of golden colored sweet coconuts that are smaller (fist-sized) than the present variety of coconuts sold in the market today.

lists now. I have one too - of course.

1. Let’s not strike back, if someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind, Let’s not respond in a like manner.

2. Let’s be careful about

what we say (and write!).

Let’s carefully choose our words. Gossip is out!

3. Let’s go the extra-mile.

Let’s find ways to help share the burdens of others.

4. Let’s do something nice for someone - but secretly. You can reach out anonymously and bless the life of others.

5. Let’s treat others the way, I wish to be treated. Do you remember the golden rule: “Do unto others as I would have them do unto me!”?

6. Let’s raise the spirit of someone disheartened.

Our smile, our words, our expression of support - yes, everything can make the difference to someone who is wrestling with life.

European and Asian seafarers in the medieval period have written a number of testimonies of coming across “small golden colored nuts” that grow only in the coastal areas of the Pacific Islands that the natives used as food.

It appears, however, that the “Kuyamis” coconut has become rare, if not extinct, in the modern day Misamis.

By the way, a Legislative Act No. 3777 on Nov. 28, 1939 has divided the Misamis province into two provinces: Misamis Oriental and Misamis Occidental.

By the way, the launching of the “Kuyamis Festival 2015” also coincides with the Misamis Oriental’s 76th year anniversary following the division of the province of Misamis in 1939. Actually, See diaz, page A7

7. Let’s nurture our bodies and let’s eat less and only healthy foods.

8. Let’s grow spiritually and spend a little more time in prayer.

9. Let’s begin reading something spiritual or inspirational.

10. Let’s find a quite place, listen to God’s voice and pray for peace. The bestial behavior of many human-beings scare me.

Happy New Year 2015.

ally, the two provinces: Misamis Oriental and Misamis Occidental could symbolically share to commemorate the 86th anniversary of the creation of Misamis as an undivided province 1929.

Back to “Kuyamis.”

The young Gov. Emano launched the “Kuyamis Festival” a year ago, five months after he was elected and proclaimed governor in 2013, to send a clear message that a new, vigorous, and promising era in Misamis Oriental has just started.

Indeed, with “Bambi” Emano, the province has carved a new image of hope – not only in terms of ably administering the affairs of the provincial government – but, also in extending services to the people of Misamis Oriental.

With the “Kuyamis Festival,” Emano has displayed a clear vision of the province’s destiny as a developing tourist destination in the country today.

During the launching of the “Kuyamis Festival” in 2013, Emano disclosed the development of 50 potential tourist spots located in various areas in the province 23 municipalities and the component cities of Gingoog and El Salvador.

As a young legislator, being a member of the House of Representatives, prior to his election as Governor of Misamis Oriental in 2013, Emano has already known that the tourism industry would be one of Misamis Oriental greatest assets in the coming years.

Bambi Emano is absolutely right! With the Asean economic integration this year, the opening of the doors of Misamis Oriental’s tourist secrets is one of the most relevant and profitable undertakings that the province could crow about. “Kuyamis Festival” needs our support. -0- react: crisguardian@yahoo.com

Duterte also warned would-be violators that they are “treading dangerous ground” if they gambled with the law.

“If I find out that there was a death because of the firecracker and you sold the product, I will look for you and charge you not only for the ordinance but also for the life that was lost,” Duterte stressed.

The mayor said those who choose to break the law not only face the penalties but also the effect of a criminal record on their names, especially when they apply for a clearance at the National Bureau of Investigation and other agencies.

Among those arrested at this year’s festivities was a barangay kagawad from Mintal. Eduardo Santander was arrested shortly after midnight of January 1 after lighting up pyrotechnics for the New Year.

Santander told Super

Radyo in an interview Saturday that he “was not aware” that pyrotechnics were included in the ordinance.

“I did not even tr y to evade the policemen when they approached me,” Santander said.

Asked about the effect of his arrest, Santander said he has become the primary advocate against firecrackers and fireworks after the incident.

The enhancement and betterment of services meant not just for the Filipino listener who considers Bombo Radyo Philippines as its primary source of news, information and entertainment.

storm two days after December 25, 2014.

Before leaving Misamis Oriental on December 30, 2014, “Seniang” displaced 11,000 families and sent 36,000 individuals to 154 evacuation centers in the province.

northmin . westmin . caraga . davao Your Mindanao-wide Community Newspaper

In Cagayan De Oro City, 3,000 families were forcibly evacuated from their homes.

The evacuees were herded to evacuation centers at the height of “Seniang” on December 29, 2014.

Most of the evacuees in Misamis Oriental and the city of Cagayan De Oro City were those who lived in the coastal areas and those near the banks of swollen rivers.

Gov. Jesus Romualdo, of the island province of Camiguin, described the pummeling big waves along the island coastlines of Camiguin as “frightening.”

In Misamis Oriental, the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (PDRRMC), has reported one death due to rampaging flood waters that swift away houses, destroyed infrastructures, and damaged to agriculture.

Edmundo Pacamalan, Jr., the PDRRMC head, said that “Seniang” destroyed properties and agriculture to an initial damaged amounting to P 500,000 million.

Typhoon “Agaton,” a slow-moving low pressure area that started early January 2014, became a tropical storm mid-January displacing about 20,000 individuals in Misamis Oriental The regional Office of the Civil Defense has also reported the death of 2 persons in Misamis Oriental because of flooding..

“Agaton” left 11 dead, 17 injured and 2 missing in Northern Mindanao. Agriculture damaged reached more than P 200 million and more than P 150 million in infrastructure involving roads and bridges.

of the statue of the Black Nazarene on Friday dawn in Cagayan de Oro City, the only one held yearly outside Metro Manila.

As this developed, the Misamis Oriental Provincial Tourism Office has volunteered to assist in organizing the procession which will start at 4:30 a.m. in the Pelaez Sports Center to the shrine along Claro M. Recto Avenue.

Assistant Provincial Administrator Jeffrey Saclot said the procession of the Black Nazarene will serve as one of the highlights of the weeklong Kuyamis Festival 2015 as the province of Misamis Oriental celebrates its 85th Founding Anniversary.

But the transfer of the procession from daytime to dawn has surprised devotees and Hijos de Nazareno, the lay organizer of the annual event has expressed apprehension of a decrease in devotees.

In a radio interview, Hijos de Nazareno leader Wenceslao Salcedo estimated that there would only be less than 40,000 persons who would flock to the event.

Salcedo claimed that more than 50,000 people attended the January 2014 procession, but official po-

erating officer, said the agenc y will stress five main themes for 2015: 1) histor y and culture, 2) music and arts 3) lifestyle and entertainment, 4) business meetings, and 5) sports, adventure, and eco-tourism.

To kick off History and Culture in January 2015 is Pope Francis’ 40-day pilgrimage to the Philippines.

September will mark the 70th anniversary of the final battles of World War II in the country.

For Music and the Arts, Enerio said some of the biggest acts in the entertainment world such as One Direction and Justin Timberlake will visit the country in March 2015 for live performances and shows.

In the fields of lifestyle and entertainment, the Philippines will host Madrid Fusion Manila, billed as the biggest culinary event in the world, in April 2015. Enerio said this event would bring national and international chefs, journalists, and food companies from all over which should encourage local tourism stakeholders to raise themselves up to global standards.

By November 2015, the country would host AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Ministerial Meetings and Leaders’ Summit with over 25,000 international delegates expected to attend.

The APEC meetings would also be hosted by Boracay and Iloilo City in the Western Visayas; from page A1 Tagaytay City in Southern Tagalog; Metro Cebu com/).

Domingo Ramon C. in the Central Visayas; Enerio III, TBP chief oplice estimates at the time put the figure to only 10,000.

The new schedule is a departure from the traditional afternoon procession of the Black Nazarene during its feast day since 2009, he said.

However, the Roads and Traffic Administration (RTA), in agreement with Hijos de Nazareno and the Shrine management, has decided to hold the procession early this year so as not to disrupt traffic.

On Sunday, Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (Cocpo) operations head Supt. Lemuel Gonda met with Hijos de Nazareno, RTA, and representatives from the Misamis Oriental Provincial Tourism Office to roll out a smooth hosting of the event.

Over television, Gonda assured the public that security is tight for the two-day event that will begin with an 8 p.m. vigil on Thursday at the Pelaez Sports Center.

There has been no untoward incident in earlier annual processions since 2009 except for sporadic reports of fainting and minor stampedes.

The replica of Quiapo’s Black Nazarene statue was handed over to the Nazareno parish church in Cagayan de or to give chance to devotees from the southern Philippines to honor the Black Nazarene here instead of going to Metro Manila.

Starting 2011, the Nazareno Church along Claro M. Recto Avenue in Cagayan de Oro City was designated an archdiocesan shrine.

Launches...

Bagac, Bataan and Clark, Pampanga in Central Luzon; and Legazpi City, and Albay in Bicol.

Not the least, the country will host international sporting events such as triathlons, martial arts, e c o - m a r at h on s , y a c ht races, beach volleyball tournaments, and tennis exhibition matches. Among these is the international white water rafting competition to be hosted by Cagayan de Oro City, the Diving Resort Travel Expo in Manila in April and the Siargao International Surfing Competition in August.

“What will truly sustain Visit the Philippines Year 2015 campaign are the people themselves. I enjoin the businesses, communities, and locals to play an active part in spreading and amplifying our messages, enticing would-be visitors to come visit our shores,” Jimenez said.

The DOT already launched VPY 2015 at the Conrad Centennial Hotel Singapore on October 28 and at the Lotte Hotel in Jung-gu, central Seoul, South Korea last November 4.

The Philippines was one of only five countries (with China, Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong) which had over 1 million Korean visitors annually, with 1,165,789 Koreans arriving in 2013, a figure that represents a quarter of the country’s total arrivals of 4,681,307 in 2013, the highest of any single country but which represented only eight percent of the total 15 million overseas Korean travelers in 2013.

Traders seek more police presence, CCTV cams in North Cotabato town

M

'LANG, North Cotabato -– With two deadly bombings happening in succession, traders here are asking for everybody’s cooperation and help in securing the town's center of commerce and trade.

Lilia Cuerpo, president of the M'lang Market Vendors Association (MMVA), said ordinary vendors are the most vulnerable to violence, like in the Dec. 31 improvised explosive device (IED) explosion that left two female vendors dead and 33 other people wounded.

Cuerpo noted that unlike owners of big business establishments, market vendors cannot afford to pay private security guards to secure their wares.

Estelita Segura, vegetable vendor, said it was not the first time that bombing occurred in the densely populated market place.

Several years back, bombings also happened in the area, one of which was a failed bombing attempt when the suspected bomber, carrying the explosive

in his backpack, was himself killed when the device went off prematurely.

Segura also suggested that the market administration install closed-circuit TV cameras to monitor lawless elements.

The M'lang market is not equipped with CCTV camera that could have monitored the Dec. 31 bomber.

Celestino Bayona, another vendor, said he was standing nearby, watching people on rush shopping but did not notice anyone moving around suspiciously. ”Almost all were carrying plastic bags with fruits, food and other merchandise because the New Year was approaching,” he said.

The vendors urged the local government unit and the police to deploy more policemen in the market, especially during market day and rush hours to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Cuerpo also asked all vendors to be watchful in their respective surroundings and report anything suspicious. (PNA)

R-10 agriculture production increases

By MARK FRANCISCO

PALAY production in the third quarter of 2014 grew by 5.79 percent to 190,930 metric tons as compared to the same period in 2013.

In the quarterly report released by the National Economic Development Authority (Neda) 10 recently, the agency noted that increase in farm output in irrigated areas in Bukidnon during the quarter plus absence of infestation and good weather contributed much to the increase.

Misamis Occidental also posted a 44 percent increase, contributing to the overall palay production in Northern Mindanao.

In Misamis Oriental, sufficient rainfall and more usage of OPV seeds also contributed to the prolific yields.

Meanwhile, rice sufficiency level during the third quarter of last year reached 83.63 percent or 1.53 percentage points higher

than the level recorded in the same period of 2013.

The region’s total rice inventory as of September 2014 went up by 20 percent reaching 1,553,403 bags.

Matured nuts reached 494,948,967 during the third quarter, higher by 1.11 percent or 5.4 million nuts than the 2013 level. All provinces in the region recorded positive growths led by Bukidnon at 3.61 percent. This is largely due to the salt fertilization intervention by the government.

Along this line, copra production slightly increased by 0.20 percent over the 2013 output reaching 119,192 metric tons.

Bukidnon made the highest gain by almost 1.2 percent. Average farm gate price of copra increased to P25.70 per kilogram. Average mill gate price also automatically increased by 29 percent to P28.25 per kilogram.

Green nut production in the third quarter also exceeded the

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

2013 level by almost 16 percent.

Coconut commodities exported during the third quarter increased by 11.5 percent to 93,816 metric tons equating to US$107.751 million in value.

Si ng l e d i g it pro du c t i on growths were reported on root crops (six percent) and fruits (three percent) while industrial crops posted a significant 15 percent growth during the quarter.

Gainers included cabbage, pechay, eggplant, calamansi, abaca and cabbage. Meanwhile, most fruit crops recorded output increases with papaya having the highest growth at 164 percent.

Livestock and poultry production reached 87,835 metric tons (live weight) in the third quarter of 2014, up by three percent over the same period in 2013.

But fish production declined by two percent due largely to lesser appearance of migratory species as a result of low pressure area occurrences.

DOT Launches Visit Philippines 2015 in Normin T

By MIKE BAÑOS, Editor-at-Large

he Department of Tourism in Region X today launches 2015 as “Visit the Philippines Year” (VPY) in Northern Mindanao at the upscale Centrio Mall in Cagayan de Oro City.

“This launch is a response to Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez, Jr.’s directive to move tourism out of Manila and urge people to visit other places such as Northern Mindanao,” said Catalino Chan III, DOT-X regional Director.

Earlier Jimenez cited the key role of local government units (LGUs) in spurring tourism outside Metro Manila.

"Kung saan masigasig talaga ang local [government], doon malakas ang tourism. Pag aktibista sa tourism ang LGU, magsa-succeed," Jimenez stressed.

The DOT and the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), its marketing and promotions arm, launched its new campaign during the Philippine Travel Exchange (PHITEX) at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City last September 4, 2014.

Jimenez said the new campaign will not replace "It's More Fun in the Philippines” but is meant to refresh

and sustain the original campaign.

DOT also launched a microsite (http:// phl2015.itsmorefuninthephilippines. com/) as a directory of the various events around the country under the recently improved DOT website (http:// itsmorefuninthephilippines.com/).

Domingo Ramon C. Enerio III, TBP chief operating officer said the agency will stress five main themes for 2015: 1) history and culture, 2) music and arts 3) lifestyle and entertainment, 4) business meetings, and 5) sports, adventure, and eco-tourism.

To kick off History and Culture in January 2015 is Pope Francis’ 40-day pilgrimage to the Philippines. September will mark the 70th anniversary of the final battles of World War II in the country.

For Music and the Arts, Enerio said some of the biggest acts in the entertainment world such as One Direction and Justin Timberlake will visit the country in March 2015 for live performances and shows.

As we end the year 2014, lahat tayo ay may sari-sariling mga tradition at pamahiiin.

Some celebrate it by lighting fire crackers para daw itaboy ang masasamang espiritu.

Some are wearing POLKA DOTS, kasi it represents daw MONEY. More POLKA DOTS, more MONEY. Di naman nila alam na ang POLKA DOTS represent BARYA. Kaya pansinin mo, wala na ang nagPOPOLKA DOTS. Para sa mga iba, tumatalon naman sila para tumangkad. Pero kahit anong lundag, wa epek pa rin!

In every family, meron silang sari-sariling tradition. Para sa amin it has been over 15 years that we practice a different kind of tradition.

Nais ko lang i-sahre sa inyo kung ano ang aming ginagawa tuwing end of the year:

WRITE TEN THINGS THAT WE ARE BELIEVING GOD FOR Ginagamit namin ang pagkakataon upang isulat ang most IMPOSSIBLE things that we are believing God for. Ang paniniwala po namin, “Maaring IMPOSSIBLE po sa tao pero hindi IMPOSSIBLE sa Diyos.”

The things we write ay mga bagay na impossible, ika nga, sky is the limit. Nagkakaroon lang tayo ng limitation hindi dahil sa kulang ang ating talent or resources.

Hindi natin nakakamit ang ating ninanais sa buhay dahil kulang lang tayong mangarap. Turning dreams into reality does not depend on the size of your resources, but on the size your dreams.

REVIEW THE THINGS WE BELIEVED GOD HAS DONE LAST YEAR Nagbabalik tanaw kami kung ano ang mga isinulat namin at pinaniwalaan kung ano ang pwedeng gawin ng Diyos sa aming buhay.

Kung ano man ang natupad at kung pa ang hindi. Para sa mga hindi, tinutuloy lang namin na darating ang panahon ay makakamit din namin kung ano man ang yoon.

WRITE TEN THINGS THAT WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR Sinusulat namin ang mga bagay na nais at pwede naming PASALAMATAN sa Diyos sa nakaraang taon.

Mas maganda na magfocus sa mga bagay na pwedeng pasalamatan kaysa sa mga bagay na pwedeng nating ireklamo.

Ginawa na naming panata na matutong MAGPASALAMAT kaysa sa MAGREKLAMO. THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. This is my DREAM CHALLENGE for you this year of 2015: Magsulat ka nang 10 IMPOSSIBLE DREAMS mo sa isang pirasong papel.

Ilagay mo sa isang lugar na hindi siya mawawala.

I-share mo rin ito sa mga mahal mo sa buhay.

Ipag-pray mo rin ito, para pagpalain ito ng Diyos. ...DOT from Page B1

chefs, journalists, and food companies from all over which should encourage local tourism stakeholders to raise themselves up to global standards.

By November 2015, the country would host Asia the Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Ministerial Meetings and Leaders’ Summit with over 25,000 international delegates expected to attend.

The APEC meetings would also be hosted by Boracay and Iloilo City in the Western Visayas; Tagaytay City in Southern Tagalog; Metro Cebu in the Central Visayas; Bagac, Bataan and Clark, Pampanga in Central Luzon; and Legazpi City, and Albay in Bicol.

Not the least, the country will host international sporting events such as triathlons, martial arts, eco-marathons, yacht races, beach volleyball tournaments, and tennis exhibition matches. Among these is the international white water rafting competition to be hosted by Cagayan de Oro City, the Diving Resort Travel Expo in Manila in April and the Siargao International Surfing Competition in August.

“What will truly sustain Visit the Philippines Year 2015 campaign are the people themselves.

I enjoin the businesses, communities, and locals to play an active part in spreading and amplifying our messages, enticing would-be visitors to come visit our shores,” Jimenez said.

The DOT already launched VPY 2015 at the Conrad Centennial Hotel Singapore on October 28 and at the Lotte Hotel in Jung-gu, central Seoul, South Korea last Nov. 4.

The Philippines was one of only five countries (with China, Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong) which had over 1 million Korean visitors annually, with 1,165,789 Koreans arriving in 2013, a figure

ON this sixth day of January, I’m feeling devilish so I’m gonna write not just about the good but the bad as well.

Never mind the ugly. Not if you count someone who looks like a frog.

And I’m also feeling nostalgic today. So I’m gonna write about DJs of my favorite music station of yesteryears, Sandy 101. During my high school, college and early postcollege years, I used to juggle listening between Sandy 101 and 89.3 Killer Bee. You see, they basically had the same playlist. Their jocks could speak English well unlike sadly the DJs of FM stations today. They were competing but in a friendly way. Killer Bee had this Rick Dees and local Top 40 countdown Sun-

Of good and bad jocks

day mornings. Sandy would churn theirs in the afternoon.

And the DJs…oh how I adore the lovely and angelic voices of their DJs! There was the very cool voice of Cloyd Phoenix. There was R-Funk. There was Yuki.

There was Drue the Dude.

There was Teeroni. There was Sexy Casey. There was the late Foxy Roxy. There

was the late Sgt. Stan. There was the late….oops he’s still alive…Mr. J. While they were bantering on air, you could hear the coolness exuding from these dudes and dudettes. And then Sandy 101 went off the air.

Cloyd Phoenix became an award-winning indie filmmaker. R-Funk became a marketing expert. Yuki

became a successful woman in Cebu. Drue the Dude did what he does best…hardcore metal rock. Teeroni became a successful financial executive in New York. Mr. J became a…well, let’s save the worst for last.

Now I’m going to write here about Sexy Casey. Just like Teeroni, Sexy Casey fled to NY after Sandy 101 went down. The lady was quite successful there. Sometime in 2014, she came back to the Philippines. To her beloved home city of CDO. On two conditions. She must fulfill first two of her dreams. And triumphantly she did. Sexy Casey was able to organize her very first fashion show in no less than Centrio sometime in September last year.

In fact, she had her own models under her wing aptly called Casey’s Concepts. The second dream she did fulfill last December. It was about organizing her own outreach in not just one but two venues….Tahanan ng Kabataan and Boys Town. More than 150 kids were given goods and drinks last December 20 at the said places. As Sexy Casey would say, “I love children and they ought to have a chance to have a better life.

I have interviewed some of the cases – they are abused by their own flesh and blood.

Some were abandoned, some have their parents in prison.

As a broadcaster in the media, I found my purpose in life in fulfilling God’s will to share His love to these children.” In

2015, Sexy Casey is planning to put her own foundation here so she could sustain her vision.

Wow what an adorable woman to emulate! Foxy Roxy and Sgt. Stan must be very proud of her from up there.

I’m pretty sure they don’t feel the same way towards Mr. J.
