and here is the article the aprroved aerial spraying ban...

Aerial spraying ban okayed
By Rizalene P. Acac

DEPARTMENT of Agriculture Arthur Yap’s visit yesterday failed to stop Mayor Rodrigo Duterte from approving the resolution of the city council banning aerial spraying. The mayor said he signed the resolution into law right after a meeting with the councilors at Marco Polo Hotel Thursday dawn. HE said his commitment to protect the health of the residents in near banana plantations was his utmost consideration above the economic contributions it is giving to the city. Duterte said the law, which prohibits banana plantations from using aerial spraying as means of protecting bananas from diseases such as Sigatoka and to shift into the use boom spray in three months time, will be put into effect after 10 days of publication in a local paper. “My stand was not against the growers but to protect the health of people,” he said in an interview with the media adding that he could not anymore suspend the implementation. He said the reversal of law sought by the Pilipino Banana Growers Exporters Association (PBGEA) is now impossible and that whatever proposal the group would be forwarding to the city government will be studied. Riding in a helicopter, Yap and Duterte viewed the areas where banana plantations are present. The mayor said he showed to Yap “blatant violations” the plantations have committed for years that have put the lives of the residents in jeopardy. Through the aerial view, he said, he and Yap clearly saw the non-implementation of the 50-meter buffer zone indicated in the Environmental Compliance Certificate issued to plantations by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. He said this violation has triggered the outburst not only of the non-government organizations, which was advocating environmental protection, but also the residents that have been severely affected by it. “It is not about the law. It has something to do with wisdom. I can’t supplant the wisdom with that of the council,” he said. LOSSES TO THE BANANA INDUSTRY Yap was dismayed over the decision of the mayor but said that the move was a classic case of “a tension between agriculture and the needs of the community.” “Mayor Duterte showed me the Carmen mountains, the site of the plantations to help me appreciate the decision of the city council,” he said. The official, however, said it would be a big blow to the banana industry in Davao Region, as it is considered as the second biggest export agricultural crop of the country. He said it would affect the quality of the bananas and the work of at least 10,000 workers in the plantations. “As far as I am concerned there is still a status quo. We are on track and I assure the international market that it will not affect out supply to them,” he said. Yap is also hopeful of meeting with the mayor and the members of the city council for mitigating measures in the future adding that he would want to come up with a win-win solution, although he failed to cite a timeframe in achieving it. Yap also discounted the possibility that other provinces in the region would follow the move of the city, saying that the Department of Health has not released any findings proving the effects of fungicide to humans. “I believe that they already know this. I don’t see them blindly following,” he said. Based on estimates of Yap’s agency, if the whole region will ban aerial spraying, the export earnings would have a reduction of P3 - P3.5 billion annually while thousands of workers will have no more work. “I appeal to our local constituents. We should not hand over the banana industry to other countries after we fought so hard for it,” he said. Yap, on the other hand, assured that banana industry here that his department would constantly assist them on the issue by being a middleman between them and the local government. DA Regional Roger Chio said the ban on aerial spraying would only affect some 2,500 hectares of only one-fourth of the 5,000 hectares of banana plantations operating in the city. Chio said the 2,500 hectares are the old and big plantations while the new and small ones using manual spraying system occupy three-fourths of the area. He said it would entail the plantations more investment to shift to boom spraying. He said these plantations would most likely transfer to other provinces with the law.

It would be cool if they put on film the Alamat ng WalingWaling or the MT Apo Legends topbilled by popular good actors. Maybe a "modern" TV series will also do the trick to promote davao's unique urban landscape. Unique Urban Landscape kasi you're in the middle of a cosmopolitan area but with a rustic/rural feel. Just a thought.

Maayong Buntag

Heard last night Mayor Duterte did approve the banning of aerial spraying ,I salute him .even Agriculture secretary Arthur Yap was here to convinced Mayor Duterte to extend the banning for 3 years and the companies who are affected w/ the aerial banning treatened to seek other place to do business , well the mayor is firm he is for "what's good for the people". Maybe some of us will say its negative for future investors to know that we are strict when it comes to environmental laws People of Davao will have to choose clean and livable environment or progressive cit but a polluted one?

Again, another risque decision for the business industry...

We'll just see... If Davao will not keep up the Quota, patay talaga tayo...

^^ my father was connected with JVA's Davao Fruits Corporation before. I think they were using aerial spray. Pero now, lumipat na sya ng company. He is with the Mossers and they do organic farming sa Bukidnon.

Bro teej, are they also banning BT Corn. OT lang ha, but I'm wondering about that because the two topics are almost in the same wavelength of concern for everyone.

Ady001

February 10th, 2007, 08:35 AM

i think what addy wants to have is a national exposure for Davao. Although we have local channels, these are only shown in Mindanao.

Independent films being produced in Davao is a good move though!

I was thinking about someone pitching Manila and foreign based producers to do good scripts. I got reminded about the artistic license done by so many art filmmakers, and how they do this in a shoestring budget. For example, the great Ingmar Bergman did many films with minimal budget, as well as Spanish film god Pedro Almodovar.

February 10th, 2007, 08:38 AM

Actually guys, I was thinking for a TV Drama like. Reminisce the days when RPN-9 made Davao? I never watched the drama itself, but the title speaks pride and oozing personality. Think about Kapalaran by the Albas, which made Bohol a good spot, at least to the minimal. Think about the original Milyonaryong Mini which made waves until Manila. I'm speaking for national TV because its the cheapest alternative without going to the cinema. We all know that people won't spend monies just for a film ticket.

SM City features two world-class performers in pre-Valentine show

BE truly entertained this weekend at SM City's pre-valentine showcase at the Entertainment Plaza with the original Miss Saigon west-end couple Isay Alvarez and Robert Seña.

Catch them today at 4pm as the magnificent real-life husband-and-wife team promotes their fastastic, one-of-a-kind album called Dueto, released by Ivory Records. The latest effort of the singing couple, both former Broadway musical staples and one of today’s successful local acts, is an addition to a bundle of joy to their 15 years of faithful union.

Dueto, a retouching of classical Filipino songs with a contemporary musical arrangement, is a dream album for both singers. “We’ve been wanting to do this two years ago. We wanted to revive these great classics to appeal to younger listeners. Or else we wouldn’t be hearing them anymore in the coming years,” Robert explains.

The independently produced nine-track album carries the works of some great Filipino music artists: Ikaw ang Mahal Ko (Tito Arevalo and Levi Celerio), Ang Daigdig Ko’y Ikaw (Antonio Marquez and Celerio), Kahit na Magtiis (Ernani Cuenco and Celerio), Ang Mahalin Ka (Ryan Cayabyab and Jose Javier Reyes), Kung Ako’y Mag-aasawa (Juan Silos and Celerio), Minamahal, Sinasamba (Arevalo), and Kahit Saan, Kahit Kailan (Gines Tan).

Special tracks in Dueto include the flamenco beat-infused version of Ikaw ang Mahal Ko, a composition of the couple’s friend singer Jenine Desiderio's Habang Buhay, and a rap remix of Kung Akoy’s Mag-aasawa featuring Rommel of the rap-rock group Salbakuta.

“Filipino songs mean so much to us,” say the couple who have been away from the country for many years because of their past Miss Saigon musical commitments. “Our music is something to be proud of, to nurture and preserve for our children’s children.” Feel the season of love and enjoy Isay and Robert's duets of Filipino love songs at SM City Davao. Admission is for free.

City beaches now safe for bathing
By Nelson C. Bagaforo

DAVAO CITY -- All 12 beaches in Davao City are now safe for bathing after they passed the water quality standards for coastal waters used for recreational purposes.

Dr. Paulyn Jean Rosell-Ubial, regional health director and chair of the Regional Inter-Agency Committee on Environment Health (Riaceh), said Friday the finding was based on the results of analysis of water samples from these beaches conducted by the regional office of the Environment Management Bureau.

Riaceh has been tasked to monitor beach resorts in the city, such as Mergrande Ocean Beach Resort, Seagull Beach Resort, Bago Beach Resort, Kalayaan Beach Resort, Bonguyan Beach Resort, Liberty Beach Resort, Marina Azul 1, Coaco Beach Resort, Guino-o Beach Resort, Felis Beach Resort, Agdao Beach Resort, and Bunawan Beach Resort.

The beaches -- excluding Mergrande, Seagull, and Bago -- were identified as unsafe for bathing after they failed water quality standard tests conducted last year.

But Ubial said a recent analysis of water samples showed that the beaches have remarkably improved.

"The water quality of Davao City's beach resorts improved significantly in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the previous three quarters of the same year and the fourth quarter of 2005," Ubial said.

The improvement, she said, can be attributed to relentless efforts exerted by the City Government and other groups to clean the coastal waters.

She said all the samples analyzed showed results lower than the standard of 1000/100 ml total coliform and 200MPN/100 ml fecal coliform.

In April last year, Sun.Star Davao cited a World Bank report saying that five beaches in the city had already been found to be posing health risks to swimmers in a test conducted as early as 1992.

This, after the City Government's attention was called by the Riaceh regarding the worsening state of the beach waters.

In the World Bank Environmental Assessment Report on Davao City in relation to a proposed Sewerage and Sanitation Project and Water District Development Project dated March 1997, it underlined the alarming state of beach waters in Davao City because of the absence of a proper sewerage system.

The tests were conducted on the waters of Kalayaan in Daliao, Toril, and three areas of Times between Saavedra and Bonguyan, in front of Liberty Beach, and in front of Marina Azul 1, Coaco, Mergrande in Dumoy, and Seagull in Punta Dumalag, Matina Aplaya.

At that time, all three areas in Times and the Kalayaan Beach were found to contain bacteria beyond the maximum tolerable limits.

Seagull was approaching the upper limits but was still within tolerable level. Villa Victoria, on the other hand, was okay, but Coaco was approaching critical threshold.

The World Bank report noted that the high contamination of Times Beach could not be due to water runoff from the Davao River from its upland forays.

Tests show coliform counts that "are likely to be in the safe range, even at the mouth of the river after it has traversed all the unsewered population clusters" in the uplands.

"By implication, contamination of Times Beach is due to drainage from Poblacion and Matina, not to the upstream contamination of the Davao River," the report said. (Sun.Star Davao/Sunnex)

Butch pledges P.5M for city sports group
By Marianne L. Saberon-Abalayan

THE Philippine Sports Commission will donate P500,000 as seed money to the Davao City Sports Commission when the City Council finally approves its creation through an ordinance.

Ramirez, speaking at the induction of new set of officers of the Sunday Bowlers Club Wednesday night, said that "as a Dabawenyo, I'm compelled to help my fellow Dabawenyos considering that the Davao City Sports Commission is my brainchild."

Ramirez said he appreciates Davao City Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte for supporting the creation of the DCSC, which will be patterned after the Cebu City Sports Commission, now doing wonders for the sports community in the Queen City of the South.

Davao City Councilor Peter Laviña said in a separate interview that he is happy to have conducted the first public hearing on creation of the commission.

"It is going to be a mutli-sectoral body of all sports stakeholders in Davao," Laviña said.

The DCSC, according to Laviña, will help the PSC discover potential Olympic medalists.

"It may not be in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, who knows we may yet produce a Dabawenyo gold medallist in the London Olympics in 2012," he said.

Laviña added that they will soon invite representatives from the athletes and business sector to attend the second public hearing.

He said Mayor Duterte is waiting for the committee report on the DCSC by the Committee on Sports and Youth Development headed by SK Councilor April Marie Dayap.

He said the DCSC will be composed of 20 members, adding "we will have Mayor Duterte as the honorary chairman and Chairman Ramirez as honorary co-chair."

"Any of the 20 members can be elected as chairman but we will also elect in charge for local, national and international competitions," Laviña said.

He said they are hoping that DCSC will be created soon before the May elections.

I don't really blame him; in fact he works effectively as a mayor. From 1988 up until now, he has worked really hard for the betterment of this city. My only complaint is that we must not look at him caretaking Davao forever, and ang pagforce niyang pagdagan kay Sara Duterte. We have to get out of our shell, encourage our councilors to get out also (what I mean is, invite investors, rather than focus on passing ordinances.) We mustn't depend on him for a long time. We must be bullish in attracting investors, and not be sitting docks for some time.

Davao has finally settled its score against gangs and riots, against dirtiness and anti-environment deeds, against drug pushers and lords, against gambling and the like, but we must admit that in order to attain things, we have to sacrifice things a bit. We cannot focus on one thing and leave the rest of the others. We have to do some interdependence. The mayor cannot work out on his own of course, he needs the stalwart presence of his councilors, the vice mayor and other people. Davao has tried to attain being the most livable city in the Philippines, but being a promising "metro" city, we can't live things the way they were; life isn't that perfect.

As for the rankings, they're just there for people to look and be awed at. We cannot depend for so long on the AIM rankings, the Asiaweek rankings and so and so; the real score here is what people really feel. Numbers don't exactly speak for themselves. Davao must get out of the rankings shell and do something realistically brilliant. It's just the toppings; we couldn't even taste the fillings yet.

What politicians should do is avoid ballyhooing each other. If Digong and Ben G will make up for their mistakes in the past and work together, some things will work out. Imagine these two working together- Ben G for the economy and Digong for peace and order. they should work together and avoid brash politicking, avoid macho posing and unite together to create a solid, worthy Davao. Things must be balanced; there should be a solid, optimistic anticipative imagination for all politicians instead of downright being against it.

If Davao replaced Zamboanga years ago as a premiere city in Mindanao, today, it must prove itself again in a more global arena, more importantly in this changing world. Not that I blame digong, but if people will refuse change and live occupied, selfish lives, we won't go anywhere with this kind of place.

this is absolutely not fair. whats wrong with the rankings of aim and asia week it seemed to have caused damage and blame to your perceived sluggish economy of davao. could you site any article linking any local sectors or personalities which and who attributed this ranking to what you are feeling against the economy. i could not comprehend this atrocious irrationality of the blame. i have yet to hear someone say the low turn out of economic figures was bec of their waiting for the ranking to do miracles. why cant we not appreciate honor you did not ask. i seeit a big honor to be recognized in the ranks of importance. this is the cheapest way to promote the existence of davao not only for business but in tourism too. the list are showing the names of places to guide people of interest and not just anyone who does not see anything interesting of it but awe. the list is promoting davao 24/7 even when youre asleep, without you having to exert any effort. tou might not appreciate that sources of these rankings are websites frequented by visitors. economic key words of davao are added to search engines cant we not think of direct and indirect benefits. davao may have fluctuating performance but look at the wider picture of its circumstance. bullishness of economy was very dependent on the state of security of the island. how many times last year foreign governments issued travel advisories aginst mindanao. could you say its a factor that hinders economic take off and momentum? blame it to the press publicity too. i understand you impatience seeing places enjoying influx of investments. but nothing can turn the table with them not part of mindanao. be positive, davao city is still enjoying economic gains and strenght in the island. investments come in some parts of mindanao but davao city is not left behind and still the largest local economy. i have yet to read news of bullishnessof economy in any particular area in mindanao. go on with your critical perceptions i dont mind so long as you are there to face responses critical of your points too.

question: meron bang Davao Chavacano ? i know we spoke chavacano before but only the so called "elite" .

my grandmother on my mom's side, as well as her siblings speak fluent dabawenyo dialect and spanish. they are relatively well known in toril, the lazaro-agton clan.

i remember during my pre-teen years, my grandma would teach me some spanish. hindi ko sineryoso kaya ngayon 'no habla español ako' hehehe.

during a family reunion in bago toril, my balikbayan aunt (mom's cousin) told me to learn speaking the dinabawenyo dialect so that our family heritage would continue since most of my cousins (from 1st up to the 4th degree of affinity and consanguinity hehehe) wasn't able to master the dialect also.:(

my greatgrandmother (mom's side) btw is a pure-blooded bagobo, and my greatgrandma on the other side was a b'laan princess. :)

this is absolutely not fair. whats wrong with the rankings of aim and asia week it seemed to have caused damage and blame to your perceived sluggish economy of davao. could you site any article linking any local sectors or personalities which and who attributed this ranking to what you are feeling against the economy. i could not comprehend this atrocious irrationality of the blame. i have yet to hear someone say the low turn out of economic figures was bec of their waiting for the ranking to do miracles. why cant we not appreciate honor you did not ask. i seeit a big honor to be recognized in the ranks of importance. this is the cheapest way to promote the existence of davao not only for business but in tourism too. the list are showing the names of places to guide people of interest and not just anyone who does not see anything interesting of it but awe. the list is promoting davao 24/7 even when youre asleep, without you having to exert any effort. tou might not appreciate that sources of these rankings are websites frequented by visitors. economic key words of davao are added to search engines cant we not think of direct and indirect benefits. davao may have fluctuating performance but look at the wider picture of its circumstance. bullishness of economy was very dependent on the state of security of the island. how many times last year foreign governments issued travel advisories aginst mindanao. could you say its a factor that hinders economic take off and momentum? blame it to the press publicity too. i understand you impatience seeing places enjoying influx of investments. but nothing can turn the table with them not part of mindanao. be positive, davao city is still enjoying economic gains and strenght in the island. investments come in some parts of mindanao but davao city is not left behind and still the largest local economy. i have yet to read news of bullishnessof economy in any particular area in mindanao. go on with your critical perceptions i dont mind so long as you are there to face responses critical of your points too.

I know the rankings still play a good part in promoting Davao, and the bad publicity reeking through all those greedy media people floating around, but my main point here is that RANKINGS DO NOT ALWAYS MAKE THE MARK. Sorry for pointing out the rankings. I'm just too tired of seeing articles pasted with Davao, best in police offcie, best in AIM, best city in the Philippines so on and so forth... it could help investments, but the real score lies still in working hand in hand. Rankings do not always tell the real story.

I'm just too tired of some articles placed online telling about these accomplishments. but I still remain positive about the local economy. Hope you understand. Airing my points here.

thinking of people who are fully dependent of meager earnings from labor, it feels sad. but if chemical was proven to cause health problems, theres no reason to continue the practice. am just thinking that decision was done in effort based on the balance of economic impact and solid based study of health risks

I was just thinking, is the chemical bad for people or bad for Bananas?

If its bad for bananas, then its a solid reason for it to be banned.

If its bad for people, two things could've been done.

1 - Remove people away from the plantation
2 - Do the aerial spraying as remote as possible
3 - If its also bad for the waterways, examine the contents of the aerial spray. Is it a Bio-accumulant? will it pollute the waterways and affect marine life? Will it degrade without being toxic?

I've heard of news before about the defense of aerial sprayers, citing that the disease that was supposedly caused by aerial spraying was actually due to unhygienic practices, and that those people were not actually allowed to build their houses near the plantations and are thus eligible to be called as "illegal trespassers." Please clarify about the matter.

Bfar: Damaged seaweed farms to be rehabilitated

THE new seaweed farms in Davao Region damaged by continuous downpour will undergo rehabilitation, according to the regional director of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (Bfar).

"Kaya ng farmers i-rehabilitate ang farms, the Bfar will just give technical assistance to them," Bfar Regional Director George Campeon said, adding that these farms have potential to survive even if almost 50 percent were damaged by continuous heavy rains in November and December.

"Kailangan lang ng propagules, babangon na yun," Campeon said.

In the last quarter of 2006, Bfar has established seaweed farms in 15 barangays in at least seven municipalities in Davao Region, namely: Pantukan, Banay-banay, Lupon, San Isidro, Gov. Generoso, Malita, and Island Garden City of Samal.

Erlinda Ali, officer-in-charge of Bfar's Extension Division, said the agency spent not less than P100,000 for each municipality for this project.

"We established seaweed farms in the areas kasi itong mga areas na ito ang wala pang seaweed farms, ang nangyari test plant pa lang. The establishment of the farms will also benefit the farmers because it is an alternative activity instead of fishing," Ali explained.

She added that a technology demonstration was conducted during the setting up of the seaweed farms in these areas. (JGRS)

Uhmm... iba-iba yung sizes ng lots but I think the smallest is over 300 sqm and the largest is 500+ sqm. There's a new phase undergoing development and they are pre-selling the lots. It's located beside phase 1 and the views are still fantastic! Ung binili ng dad ko (2 contiguous lots) is like 270 degrees ung views, spanning from Downtown/Davao Gulf area to Mount Apo. Like I said, very inspiring ung place. Mahal nga lang, dad ko lang maka-afford! HAHAH!

Senate okays Mati cityhood
By Ben O. Tesiorna

THE Senate has finally approved on its third and final reading the bill making the capital town of Davao Oriental, Mati, a city.

Reports reaching Sun.Star Davao showed that the bill is now awaiting the signature of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and they expect it to be signed next month.

The House earlier approved the same bill last year with Representative Mayo Almario of the second district of Davao Oriental as the author.

Senator Aquilino "Nene" Pimentel, meanwhile, sponsored the Senate version. Almario thanked the people of Mati for their strong support on the bill.

"Thanks for the prayers, especially when I was already weak and tired. Your continued support inspired me to do my best and with the help of some people I have given you the best -- a city," Almario said.

Davao del Sur Representative Douglas Ra Cagas also congratulated the people of Mati for their triumph.

"The people of Mati should be grateful to Rep. Almario for working hard for its passage. Like Digos City, Mati will soon prosper, given the good local officials. At least, the Senate is also doing its legislative work," Cagas said.

Mati's cityhood is long overdue, Mati Mayor Francisco "Paking" Rabat said.

Mati passed the P80 million standard income requirement, plus aside from the fact that it is the capital town of Davao Oriental, a province without a city as yet.

After approval by the President, a plebiscite will be called to get the pulse of the people on the cityhood of Mati. The cityhood proposal is expected to get the support of Matiños.

Rabat explained that should Mati becomes a city, its Internal Revenue Allotment will be tripled.

"Just imagine what that can do for Mati, in terms of progress," he said.

Ali Sangkupan, municipal election officer of the Municipality of Mati, said the mayor has already submitted a budgetary requirement for the said purpose.

Davao Gulf cities after the entry of Mati...
1. Davao City
2. Panabo City
3. Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS)
4. Tagum City

Tagum wins Most Competitive City tilt

By Mai B. Gevera

TAGUM CITY (25 February) -- This city was adjudged as among the top ten most competitive small cities in the Philippines by the Asian Institute of Management (AIM).

The award was given to Tagum for its laudable infrastructure, local governance, peace and order situation, as well as its business climate.

In Mindanao, it is the only small city recognized along with Kidapawan City out of the total 65 small cities in the country for its promising performance in the areas given much importance by the AIM.

Tagum City Vice Mayor Allan Rellon who accepted the award in Manila, said that the title given to the people of Tagum is one big accomplishment of the city.

"This is a signal that Tagum is moving towards full development.", he said.

Rellon also cited that the city must take advantage of the various opportunities present and offered by its neighboring city, Davao, and make it an edge for more development.

Davao city was among the top ten big or major cities nationwide. Considerably, the Tagum local government has seen that the growth in Davao is increasingly influenced the growth of Tagum.

He stressed that the city could use the title in luring more investors and continually create Tagum as a business haven.

Rellon also bared that the local executives in the city headed by Mayor Rey Uy is molding Tagum to focus and grow with an excellent service industry.

"The mayor wants his city to be known as a livable and business investor-friendly city.", he said. (PIA) [top]

Heart ailments and Davao Heart Center
By Carlo P. Mallo

THE month of February celebrates what gives meaning to our lives, but more so to what gives us life: the heart. No other organ in the human anatomy is given much credit as the heart and it indeed deserves the veneration bestowed upon it.

The human heart beats non-stop for the entirety of a human life; should it cease, so does the life of the person. Without the heart, all other functions of the human body will be rendered useless. The heart ensures that the various parts of the body are given ample amounts of oxygen, a vital ingredient in the concoction of life.

Over a typical life span of 76 years, the heart will beat nearly 2.8 billion times and move 169 million liters (179 million quarts) of blood. But the heart does more than that. The heart has also to adjust to the changes in the body's demand for oxygen.

The heart is even believed to be the source of the soul and emotions; thus, coining the term heart broken. Much importance can be credited to this organ, which is no bigger than the closed human fist, and yet, it remains to be abused and disregarded.

Heart diseases continue to plague our people. In Davao City alone, heart related diseases rank 4th in the cause of deaths among the citizenry. The Department of Health Region 11 reported that the disease accounts for almost 15 percent of the morbidity rate in the city.

With a rising problem of heart related diseases in the city, the Davao Medical Center set up a P350-million heart center facility in the region provided with state-of-the art facilities that is at par with the premiere hospitals in Manila.

Incidentally, three out of five people in an informal interview were found to believe that there is only one kind of heart disease that plagues the people.

There are actually over five major kinds of diseases that can cause one's heart to function out of its league or simply stop.

The most common heart disease in Davao City, and anywhere else in the world, is the Coronary Heart Disease. This particular kind of disease develops with the build up of fatty material in the inner walls of the arteries of the heart causing them to narrow down and eventually block the passage. The block could cause difficulty in breathing, chest pains, or even worse, a major heart attack. The primary reason for the build up of fat is a high cholesterol diet. No cure for the disease has been discovered, however, preventive measures can be taken to avert the possibility of a heart attack.

Another type of heart disease that preys on the children is the Congenital Heart Disease. This type of disease manifests when there is a defect in one or more parts of the heart that occurs prior to birth.

The disease affects an average of 8 out of 1000 children. One of the most common abnormalities is a septal defect, an opening between the right and left atrium or between the right and left ventricle. Babies suffering from this condition are also termed as "blue babies," who tend to turn bluish due to the lack of oxygen.

Stress actually could also cause strains on one's heart medically termed as Arrythmias. This kind of disease is manifested by abnormally fast or abnormally slow heart rhythms.

The disease can be attributed to factors such as alcohol, caffeine, or simply not getting a good night's sleep. However, serious damage to the heart muscle may also result in the development of arrythmias. Heart muscle damage, more often than not, results from a heart attack, however it can also emanate from infections or congenital defects.

Aside from the common heart diseases mentioned, other heart related problems such as tumors, heart damage from other diseases such as syphilis and tuberculosis, and inflammation of the heart muscle, pericardium, or endocardium can also affect the heart.

People usually succumb to these diseases for two reasons; either they were not aware that they have the disease, or they could not afford its treatment. For the fortunate it is usually the former while the latter accounts for those who have less.

Treatment for the heart-related diseases needs special equipment and physicians.

More than the amount to be spent, time is also of the essence and traveling to these places entail a lot of time. In heart related diseases, we do not have the leisure of time, more so if it is an emergency.

With the opening of the Davao Heart Center today at the Davao Medical Hospital, these problems are intended to be solved. After nine years of waiting, as the facility took nine years to be completed, Davao City and its people will finally be provided with a heart facility at par with the best in the country.

Accessibility to facilities that can diagnose and intervene in heart diseases is made easier to all people in the region. And since the hospital is government-run, it is also easily accessible to people who have less.

The heart facility will have two major sections: the diagnostic division and the intervention division.

Initially, only the diagnostic division will be opened to the public as there is still some equipment for the intervention division that is yet to arrive.

The Davao Heart Center will be home to a catheterization laboratory or cath lab, the first 3D Echocardiogram in Mindanao, operating rooms equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, and cardiac clinics.

The facility is capable of doing open bypass surgeries and close heart surgeries.

The P350-million Davao Heart Center will be complemented with the best cardiologists and other physicians in the entire region. With the Davao Heart Center, care for one of the most important organs in the human anatomy is made to be within the reach of everyone.

Medical tourism: A new niche for the city
By Joy Romares-Sevilla

WHO would ever refuse to have a treatment in a hospital where rooms are like those in a first-class hotel in a big city like Davao?

Health services, for all its woes in the Philippines, remain to be cheap despite updated trainings by the medical professionals here. If you think going to the topnotch dentist here is expensive, then try checking out how much that visit will cost had you been abroad.

Dominador Cabrera, President of the Davao Doctors Hospital, which recently applied for an accreditation for medical tourism from the regional office of the Department of Tourism (DOT), said these types of hospitals have to pass certain requirements, thus, the accreditation.

"Davao Doctors has applied to be able to participate in medical tourism, it is an advantage because people in other countries will be coming here to have their treatment since the cost is cheaper compared from where they are from, they will pay cheaper than what they will pay in the United States," Cabrera said in an interview.

Cabrera said countries in the Far East -- Thailand, Singapore, Korea, India, and Japan, are also offering medical tourism at present.

To be able to compete, Davao Doctors had to renovate all its rooms. He said that the Department of Tourism inspected their hospital last week and gave them advise on what needs to be done to be accredited. The verdict: renovation of all rooms to make it like a tourism facility.

"As soon as the construction of our new building will be finished, that is in the middle of April or May, we will start with the renovation," Cabrera added.

Medical facility-wise, they are at par. He said the hospital has the most complete facilities now in Mindanao. In fact, it has the latest 64-slice CT scan, which costs over P30 million.

"We also have a laboratory that enables us to do open heart surgery, we have the 64-slice CT scan which was only present in at least three hospitals in the country," Cabrera said.

While the city hopes to take on this market niche, Cabrera admits, it's still too early to claim the city already has that advantage.

"We're making it ready for medical tourism, as of now, we're not yet very much ready," he said adding that a hospital should also have a lot of connection and tie-up with different resorts, golf clubs and other recreational centers to attract tourists to come for a treatment, at the same time, vacation.

Once it's all set, however, he believes this will entice medical professionals -- doctors, nurses, and even caregivers -- to stay in the country.

"Because they will still earn better if they will work abroad, medical services here cheaper than abroad," he said.

DOT Secretary Mina Gabor in 1998 initiated the establishment of the Philippine Medical Tourism Program (PMTP) that aims to position the country as a premier health holiday destination in Southeast Asia.

It also aims to contribute to foreign exchange earnings; contribute to regional development in terms of employment generation and increase in local government revenue; increase investments relative to health activities; and promote and develop the country's thermal springs and other resources for medical tourism projects.

Dabawenyo call center agents impressive: Bian
By Ben O. Tesiorna

LEADING call center companies based in Manila were said to have been impressed with the Davao-trained call center agents during their visit in the city last week.

Joji Ilagan-Bian said three of Manila's biggest call center -- Accenture, eTelecare and Sykes -- were in Davao City to hold job fairs in the search for the call center agents that they require. She said the companies were impressed with the Dabawenyo cal center agents who trained in the JIB eAcademy.

E-Telecare and Advance Contact Solutions (ACS) are call center partners of JIB eAcademy. The two companies earlier forged a memorandum of agreement with JIB for the academy to provide them access to their graduates.

ACS also conducted on line interviews and testing with all the graduates of JIB and students who pass were immediately given job offers for Manila.

Bian, chair of the Joji Ilagan Foundation, said there are also a significant number of people who pass the exams but preferred to stay and work here in Davao with our call center, the Six Eleven Global Solutions, and in the other call centers in the city.

Bian urged the city's promotion and investment for their efforts to be more focused in bringing the big call centers in Manila to put up an actual operations here. She notes that what is important is that people do have jobs wherever it may be.

"This is all a great help to the people of Davao who may not have the finances to go all the way to Manila to apply," she said.

Bian, who was also appointed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to sit as Mindanao Representative in the Export Development Council, said they are looking closely at the huge impact of the call centers' earnings to the country's economy.

She said the call center industry may even lead to a one percent increase in our gross domestic product. The EDC is currently determining the exact figures in dollar earnings that the business process outsourcing sector.

Mindanao has, at least, 10 call centers operating, distributed in Davao and Cagayan de Oro cities.

The annual foreign exchange earnings from Philippines call centers are estimated to reach US$7.3 billion. This is almost triple the US$2.6 billion projected earnings this year. The employment in the call center industry by 2010 is projected to grow by 182 percent, from the 179,000 jobs projected for this year.

Call center employees are estimated to contribute US$162 million worth of income taxes to the government's coffers in 2006.

Bian said that in its bid to become the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) hub of Mindanao, Davao is now able to provide skilled and competent call center agents to Call Centers who want to locate or put a branch in Davao City or the nearby cities.

Agents being vital components of the call center of the Joji Ilagan Foundation established the JIB eAcademy as the premier call center and English language school.

Today, the school has five branches -- General Santos, Butuan, Marawi, Iloilo, Gingoog and Bukidnon. More branches will soon open in Bacolod, Surigao, Iligan, and Manila on June.

Banana chips regains confidence

AFTER the closure of banana chips processing plants in Davao del Norte province due to the lack of export market two years ago, plant owners and cardava farmers are beginning to gain back the confidence on their product.

The value of processed banana chips increased from last year's 80 centavos to P5 per kilo.

Faustino Salting, president of the Davao del Norte Fruits and Vegetables Council, said this is due to the increased investors' confidence on the banana chips supply from the province.

"Right now, there are 45 countries importing banana chips from Davao del Norte," he said. This has also pushed for the re-opening of processing plants, which has now totaled to eight in Davao del Norte.

He also said that more and more farmers have gone back to planting cardava after seeing the high demand of the product.

From the previous year's 1,300 hectares planted with such variety, land area allocated for cardava increased to 2,500 hectares.

Seeing the need to put up more processing plants to absorb the banana supply planted by the farmers, the Davao Integrated Development Program (DIDP) recently granted P2.9 million for the said council to construct another processing plant.

"The DIDP has seen the capability of the council to better our production and this also helps many poor farmers from being manipulated by the traders," Salting stressed.

The province of Davao del Norte is proud to be exporting flavored banana chips like peanut, pineapple, jackfruit, etc.

Foreign buyers said to have loved the different varieties of banana chips produced from the said province.

Salting urged local consumers to also patronize our own Philippine product as a good substitute for the unhealthy junk foods loved by children.

"People from other countries love our banana chips. But sad to say, Filipino children still prefer the commercial junk food over this product," he said.

Environment alliance endorses bio-fuels, but not politicians
By Ben O. Tesiorna

THE nationwide alliance of environmentalist groups dubbed as the Fuel4Life Movement is endorsing the use of bio-fuels this coming May elections, but not the politicians who are claiming authorship of the Bio-fuels Law.

In a press conference Tuesday, Sustainable Energy Development Program (SEDP) IEC Specialist Diwata Paredes said they have been endorsing the use of bio-fuels for years now, way before the passing of the Bio-fuels Law and way before the start of the campaign period for the May election.

"We are not endorsing any political candidates in line with the Bio-fuels Law. We are endorsing the use of bio-fuels to promote clean and healthy air," Paredes said.

Fuels4Life Movement is a flagship project of the SEDP in support of the Clean Cities Program. Initially designed to gather private sector sponsors for specific activities, Fuels4Life has evolved into a dynamic partnership among institutions and individuals keen on promoting use of cleaner fuels for a better environment.

The group was on their 11-day and last leg of their nationwide caravan that started from Luzon down to Mindanao.

City joins drive for use of bio-fuels
By Carlo P. Mallo

THE City Government of Davao has joined in the campaign for cleaner cities with the use of alternative fuels, otherwise known as the bio-fuels.

Although the city was able to maintain its clean air, the recorded 30 percent annual growth in the volume of traffic plying the city is putting to risk the fresh air.

As this developed, about 60 to 70 vehicles of all sorts, representing the various sectors of society, gathered Tuesday for the last leg of the Bio-fuel Caravan.

The business sector and local government unit was supportive of the cause and even joined in the education and information campaign for the use of bio-fuels.

Gracing the event was Ms. Earth-Water 2006 Catherine Untalan, who said "it is about time that we use bio-fuels to at least slow down global warming."

She added that "it is very wrong" to think that bio-fuels are harmful to the car engine, as she pledged her full support in the campaign for the use of bio-fuels.

The effectivity of bio-fuels can be best explained this way, according to Department of Energy-Southern Mindanao Chief Manuel Llaneza, "an old car using the regular gasoline will definitely fail any emission test, but when you fill it up with bio-fuels, rest assured it will pass the test."

The Bio-fuels Caravan started in Pagudpud, Ilocos del Norte, in the first week of February and passed through the cities of Baguio, Makati, Marikina, Iloilo, Bacolod, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Malaybalay, and Valencia.

Monday night, the city welcomed the delegates as they entered the last leg of the caravan.

ma identify mo yung mga projects sir abs?

Sa ibaba nung page bro, nakaidentify yung mga projects. Ang maremember nako, yung dalawang highrises sa Davao yun. Medyo di ko lang pinansin kasi
akala ko hindi seryosohan yung mga projects. Yung glass na highrise kasi, nakalagay proposed Davao Doctors College daw which is parang wala pa sa plano at di na rin nabangit during sa last stockholders meeting ng Davao Doc.

Lets just pray na matuloy itong lahat...:angel1:

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......even if midrise pa lang ang underconstruction karon - 4 to 6 storeys, excited gihapon ko....mas nice kc if mapuno ang city proper first...then 2 to 3 years from now, should an investor decide to build a highrise infra, didto na sya sa Riverfront and mas modern ang designs!

YES tj i think city government is leaning towards GREEN Environment , di ka ba nag tataka maraming projects dito di nakapasa .

here's some list :

Artica Dome- scrutinized because it is sitting in a fault line.
Fil-Invest Subdivision in Dumoy never been approve and will never be .
San Migule Brewery- ingon ni Bagani never been approved because matakaw sa tubig.

^^ yup..yun yung Ocean Cove! another multimillion and superb development of FilInvest. Malapit daw sa Mergrande. Do they have another project na d na approve...or is this the one? Kc sayang..ang ganda sana..and currently its being marketed by local brokers online na.

It's the first of its kind project in Mindanao.

Another multi million project in Davao...yeeeppeeeeee

Recently, may controversy sa SP dahil sa pag-approve ng application ng isang developer to develop a subdivision over Talomo acquifer. Parang sinig Filinvest na rin yun.:nuts:
