Cebu quarantine bureau puts up P10-M vessel to inspect ships (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=0&nid=2&rid=237261)

CEBU CITY, Oct. 24 (PNA) -– The Bureau of Quarantine launched at the Cebu port Thursday a P10-million new vessel to be used for inspection of foreign vessels coming to Cebu to prevent the entry of InfluenzaA(H1N1), among other diseases.

The vessel, christened ml Quarantine Cebu, will inspect all foreign vessels which will be temporarily anchored in a designated area at the Mactan Channel before being allowed to dock.

The Bureau of Quarantine is an agency under the Department of Health (DoH) mandated to inspect all incoming foreign vessels in international ports and incoming aircraft from abroad.

It is also tasked to monitor all food centers at the seaports and airports throughout the country.

”We are giving clearance and training to all crews of foreign aircraft and vessels,” said Dr. Edgardo Sabitsana, Bureau of Quarantine director based in Manila.

Dr. Emmanuel Labella, Bureau of Quarantine 7 head, said that if ever a foreign vessel has a passenger or crew who is suffering from a disease, he will be immediately isolated and brought to a hospital.

Labella said that with the new vessel, everything is systematic.

Once the foreign ship will anchor at the designated seawaters, quarantine personnel on board ml Quarantine Cebu will proceed to the area to inspect the vessel. If everybody on board is cleared of any disease, it will be given clearance to dock at the Cebu port.

Sabitsana said that the government acquired five vessels at P10 million each and deployed these in various international ports such as Zamboanga, La Union, Cagayan de Oro, Manila and Davao.

”It took us so long to acquire these vessels because of budgetary constraints. We are happy that finally, they were purchased and deployed to where they are needed,” Sabitsana said.

Sabitsana said the quarantine staff will also inspect the cargoes to determine whether these are threats to public health.

If a shipment if found to cause a disease, it will not be cleared for unloading, Sabitsana said.

”Before ml Quarantine Cebu was acquired, our personnel just boarded a rented vessel hired by shipping agents,” Sabitsana said.

He said the vessel is strong because it is designed to approach vessels shipside and to survive strong waves at sea. (PNA)

4 lanes lang jud cguro na bei. Kai dili mana dapat cguro ihapon ang shoulder kai dli manjapon maagian sa trapik.

if its four lanes, then that is already huge enough for a small city like cdeo. that would really help decongest the tightening gridlock within cm recto

As long as there is new infrastructure such as this underconstruction access road, investment also follows. I expect commercial establishments will sprout in this area in the near future since CdeO's city proper is already very dense na talaga. :cheers:

2nd Bulua-Iponan Bridge Construction ongoing
http://cagayandeorodev.wordpress.com/2009/10/24/2nd-bulua-iponan-bridge-construction-ongoing/

http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/4650/2ndbuluaiponanbridge.jpg (http://img188.imageshack.us/i/2ndbuluaiponanbridge.jpg/)
The DPWH has started the second Bulua-Iponan Bridge, which is a section of the Access Road of the Cagayan de Oro 3rd Bridge (Kauswagan-Puntod) Project. Concrete piles have been driven to the riverbed as shown in the photo above taken from Barra, Opol side of the river.

The right-of-way of the bridge has been cleared on both approaches so I expect the project to be fast-tracked soon depending on the availability of funds from the national government. The project has been delayed due to funding requirements. As you know, contractors can cease their construction works if the DPWH cannot pay their billing.

Nevertheless, I am glad that this infrastructure project has finally taken off. The approaches of the bridge from both sides are very wide. I think it would be a six-lane highway

Below are pictures from Bulua side. Note very wide expanse of the soon-to-be new highway

it's unfortunate that DPWH puro lang ug sugod... pero ang rotunda sa Puntod-Kauswagan bridge wala pa gyud nahoman....bisan ug kagot ang ngipon ni PGMA the last time she inspect it...wala gyud... pila na na ka tuig....

Yah, it make sense... a brand new airport must have a brand new equipments. But in our situation, parang mahirap sa Pilipinas gawin ang gusto nating mangyari...marami kasing factor to consider....sa financial, pero ang higit sa lahat ang politico:ohno: It was already mentioned in the news last year that they're going to utilize navigational equipments at Lumbia....a lot of people may react negatively, I am one of those, but lets us accept the fact that it will really be happened not unless more funds will be allocated to purchase such. Anyhow, wala namang problema yon kasi di naman outdated ang mga equipments ng lumbia. Well, di lang natin alam for now kung ano talaga ang magiging takbo ng plano between now and coming years.:)

There were report fews years back that Camp Edilberto Evangelista will be transfered in Lumbia, but those are still rumour especially, it was just an opinion of certain people. But the news went too quite until now.

Yes military base daw. Camp Evangelista ibalhin diha. Pero ang problema kay ang present Camp private property man.

From Huluga to Guisoc (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cagayan-de-oro/huluga-guisoc)

By Paulita R. Roa

Once again, Huluga is back in the headlines and this is because of the purported discovery of what they called the Sung burial site. This is named after the Chinese tradeware ceramics that were manufactured in the 9th century during the Sung Dynasty. The Sung wares were found together with numerous human skulls and mandibles in Huluga.

The most notable of these finds were skulls that exhibited cranial deformation, which was widely practiced during the prehispanic period by the Visayans as a sign of beauty. Front-page photos in a local weekly show Dr. Linda Burton of Xavier University and Dr. Antonio Montalvan of Capitol University standing besides sacks full of human skulls and bones. Some were spread on the ground and were examined by Mr. Angel Bautista, a noted zoo archaeologist and head of the Cultural Properties Division of the National Museum.

However, together with the excitement of such a discovery were headlined stories of Dr. Linda Burton and her heritage group asking Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula to have the land titles around the burial site nullified. This has caused panic among several landowners. So on the October 2, 2009 meeting of the Cagayan de Oro City Heritage Council, it was unanimously agreed by all those present that it is our duty to put this issue in its proper perspective for the supposed new archaeological site is not yet a "done" thing. An official statement was issued to the press informing the public that the site will have to be thoroughly excavated and studied by a team from the National Museum. The results of their work will then be used as the basis by the National Museum to declare if the site is really a Sung burial ground or not.

But there is a new twist to the new Huluga saga. Some old residents in the Macasandig and Indahag areas called and then volunteered to guide me to the area where the purported Sung burial site is located. We went with them to the site that is on the side of a small hill. The climb was short but steep and the whole area had tall cogon grass. We reached a small ledge and the guide said, "Mao na ni" (This is it).

The guide pointed to two sacks full of human bones. I examined some of them and saw that these belong to several persons who probably died less than two decades ago. I thought that the set of teeth that the guide held up was somewhat new.

The pit measured six feet by eleven feet and the soil was brownish black and loose. I also saw grayish sandy soil and pebbles strewn on the floor of the clearing. I was told by the guide that the digging started two years ago by four men who hoped to find antique jars or plates that they can sell for a good price. In archaeological parlance, these men are called "pothunters." They reportedly found skulls with plates on the foreheads.

We took photos the pit, the sacks of bones and of a small plastic laundry brush that was soiled and worn. This was apparently used to clean the unearthed artifacts. There were also discarded plastic plates, a mineral bottle, several plastic bags and an opened sardine can. Some human bones were strewn near the pit. But the pit has just been covered with the same soil that was previously scooped out by the pothunters. So I decided not to go down the pit since it seemed to be loose and it is in a heavily eroded area.

On the way to our car, our guide told us that this area is sitio Guisoc of barangay Pualas in the municipality of Baungngon, Bukidnon. I was further informed that they will stand on the fact that the diggings were done in sitio Guisoc by four men since 2007. And by the way, Huluga, which is part of Cagayan de Oro City, is three kilometers downhill.

I believe that sitio Guisoc could be a rich archaeological site since it located on a higher ground. In the journal written by the two Recollect priests who were the first to enter the Himologan fortress of Datu Salangsang in 1622, they wrote that it was located on a cliff overlooking the river. It was so steep that it required a rattan ladder to get in or out. My graduate studies in Archaeology at the University of the Philippines are of great help to me in doing an investigative report on this recent archaeological discovery. I am taught that it is important for me to get the historical accounts, the landscape data and other important information so I can come up with a credible and viable report. More of this next week.

I wish to take this opportunity to inform the readers that the reason why I choose to go back to school and take up graduate studies at the Archaeological Studies Program in the University of the Philippines is because this is the best way that I can serve and make a big difference in my work of promoting awareness, appreciation and preservation of the Kagay-anon cultural heritage.

I give Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula the credit for encouraging me to go back to school and supporting me in all my endeavors. When he was a congressman, he also studied and got an MA in Economics for he believed that it will enhance his work in Congress and his service to the people.

Contrary to what a few were led to believe, my tuition fees and other expenses come from my own pocket. I am not a scholar of the City Government. Nevertheless, my passion and love for my work has never ebbed despite attempts to soil my reputation. (prroa50@yahoo.com)

Emano’s debt down by over half: Jaraula (http://www.goldstardailynews.com/content.php?id=7118)

By MARK FRANCISCO - Staff member Updated October 27, 2009 12:00 AM

MAYOR Constantino Jaraula yesterday assured that city hall has remained financially sound despite the P1.1-billion debt it incurred during the Emano administration.

Jaraula said this even as he maintained that the city government has never been remiss in paying its obligations to the state-run Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) and Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP).

Jaraula said the debt was already down to some P730 million when he took over as mayor in 2007. He claimed the local government further reduced the debt to some P600 million under his administration.

That the debt was reduced by over half is proof that city hall has not been remiss in its financial obligations, said Jaraula.

.........

Jaraula maintained that city hall has always been bankable as an entity and has kept its financial records clean.

“Wala kitay delinquency mao nang magpautang g’yud ang bangko sa atoa. One of the concepts of develop-ment is kinahanglan mangutang g’yud ka. Even big businessmen such as the Ayalas naay mga utang,” Jaraula told reporters.

Mindanaoans cry: Cooperatives for peace in Mindanao!
by Rutchie Cabahug-Aguhob

Cagayan de Oro City (27 October) -- "The Mindanao Cooperative Declaration for peace represents a multi-sectoral and multi-cultural commitment for peace-building through the development of cooperatives."

Thus stressed Cagayan de Oro's Archbishop Antonio J. Ledesma, S.J., D.D., who said the peace campaign of everyone in the island should be "We cry: Cooperatives for peace in Mindanao!"
It is in this light, that the people in Mindanao have come together to work for peace as manifested in the 1st Mindanao Cooperative Peace Forum on Oct. 29, 2009 at Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan Gym, Regional Director Orlando R. Ravanera of the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), region 10, said.

Ravanera said about 5,000 active cooperatives in Mindanao, with about 1.2 million members, consisting of the Muslims, the Lumads and other Indigenous Peoples, the Churches, the Ulamas, the Academe, the Rotarians and all peace-loving Mindaoans will attend the forum.

Likewise, he said the participants will collectively advance what they believe is their inherent right to live in peace founded on social justice, equity and sustainable development by advancing, among others, the following agenda:

Recognizing the human resource, enhancing their capabilities, developing their potentials and harnessing their skills, as well as, putting up of a Cooperative Human Resource Center in all regions of Mindanao.

Giving preferential use rights to the marginalized sectors, such as Muslims, Lumads, small farmers and fisherfolks, in developing their respe of such resources.

Rectifying social wrongs committed by some utilities providing basic needs like electricity and water or the so-called electric cooperatives against member consumers whose rights of ownership have been violated all these years.

Promoting the "Halal" Program and making thousand hectares of idle lands to be productive by planting crops and raising livestock for local consumption and for local and international market. (PIA 10) [top]

Diamond Millenium Corporation represented by Lorenzo U. Limketkai is planning to open a PAGCOR e-Games Station at the Rosario Arcade, Limketkai Complex, Cagayan de Oro City. Once approved by the city, this will be the second e-games cafe in the city, the first being located at the Ground Floor of Tagbuan Grill along Captain Vicente Roa Extension.

PAGCOR has prepared the following Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding e-Games Cafes.

What is a PAGCOR e-Games Cafe?
It is an internet Cafe dedicated to casino games
A great Business opportunity anybody can own
New games are added every three (3) months

What games can be played in a PAGCOR e-Games Cafe (Game Distribution)?
Table Card Games 13 percent
Video Poker 20 percent
Slots 39 percent
Other Games 28 percent

Who Plays (Player Demographics)?
Male — 55 percent
Female — 45 percent

Why a cafe instead of online, web-based?
Not many Filipinos have credit cards. Those that do, don’t want to use them for internet transactions.
Not many Filipinos own their own computers.
A cash business is much simpler for entrepreneur-operators.

What is PAGCOR?
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is the government-owned and controlled corporation established to regulate all games of chance in the Philippines.
It was created in 1976 to oversee the operation of gaming casinos, to generate funds for the government’s developmental projects, and to help curb illegal gambling. By virtue of R.A. 9487, its franchise was extended for another 25 years starting 11 July 2008.
PAGCOR is a vital arm of the government in nation building. The State-owned firm is the second biggest source of government funds with 2007 annual revenue of PhP 27.7 billion.

How about its partner, PhilWeb Corporation?
Founded in 2000, PhilWeb is the Philippines’ first listed internet company (PSE: Web), and the largest in terms of market capitalization. We are PAGCOR’s principal technology enabler, and assist PAGCOR in operating their e-games cafes. Their goal is to deliver safe, secure and fair electronic gaming to Filipinos.

What does PHilWeb Provides?
Totally secure and fair gaming servers certified by PAGCOR
24/7 technical help and customer support for PAGCOR e-games cafe operators
24/7 cash and security support
Why is PAGCOR e-Games cafe one of the best investments one can make?
No Franchise fee
Typical startup capital is PhP 1.2 million to PhP 1.5 million only
Monthly revenue is 28 percent of casino win
Typical payback is 12 months.

How can one open their own PAGCOR e-Games cafe?
Step 1. Locate a site and have it inspected by PAGCOR
The site must be at least 200 meters (center-to-center) from any school/educational institution or place of worship/religious center, It should also ideally be in a high-traffic area with reasonable security.
Step 2. Letter of intent
This a letter that formally announces commitment to the business.
Step 3. PAGCOR will issue a certificate to operate (CTO)
This gives an individual the assurance that PAGCOR approves of their proposal.
Step 4. Obtain Consent from the Local Government Unit (LGU)
Preferably obtain a Letter of No Objection (LONO). This helps ensure that the operator will get the right permit before they invest money in the business.
Step 5. Build/Install Cafe
The owner can choose between a rented space or a modular PAGCOR e-Games cafe built into a jumbo 45-ft shipping container (see above photo).
Step 6. Obtain Mayor’s Permit
Every business needs a Business Permit from the LGU.
Step 7. Launch!
PhilWeb will support the operator with marketing materials and strategies.

How about the cost?
Package cost is PhP 1.5 million for the basic model and PhP 1.8 million for the deluxe model with roofdeck. Package is a complete turnkey solution; includes 16 gaming computers, cashier’s computer and network partitions, all furniture, lighting and bathroom fixtures.
So, P1.5 Million only? LKKS can surely afford it…:okay:.

Grabe ang growth ng CdeO...

P100-m transformer in place due to growing power demand in Oro (http://www.goldstardailynews.com/content.php?id=7145)
By CONG CORRALES - Correspondent Updated October 28, 2009 12:00 AM

A BRAND new transfor-mer dedicated for the power needs of Cagayan de Oro and its neighboring areas has been installed last Sunday, the head for Mindanao operations and maintenance of the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) announced yesterday.

Engr. Emmanuel Abella-nosa said NGCP put on stream a 100 MVA transformer last Sunday which would cover the projected load growth of the area for the next five to seven years.

The power interruptions experienced in some parts of the city early morning yesterday can be attributed to NGCP’s continuing test runs of the new equipment, he said.

“We experienced power interruptions this morning (yesterday) because of the switching. You may call this ‘birth pangs.’ I call on everybody to be patient as it will take as at least a week to stabilize the power transmis-sion of the new transformer,” said Abellanosa.

He said the transformer is a big investment of NGCP—it costs P100 million. He said it would show NGCP’s resolve to complement the dynamic growth of the city. The NGCP is a private corporation responsible for the operation, maintenance and centralized planning of the nationwide power transmis-sion system. It is covered under RA 9136 of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 (Epira) which has effectively privatized the power industry in the country.

Abellonosa however explained that all transmission assets of National Trans-mission Corp. (Transco) still remain government-owned.

“At the end of the conces-sion period (25 years) all expansion projects will be reverted back to national government,” he said.

Abellanosa also said that as far as power transmission is concerned people in Mindanao can be assured the NGCP would deliver.

“Although, it can’t be denied that generation issues will still have to be resolved. But we may be better off here in Cagayan de Oro because there is the Minergy and Steag to generate additional load should there be a shortage,” he said.

United Kingdom TV show features RP's mode of transportation (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=0&nid=6&rid=237741)
By Lynda B. Valencia

MANILA, Oct. 27 (PNA) -- A popular United Kingdom-based TV show that airs in the National Geographic and British Broadcasting Corporation channel is featuring the country’s unusual methods of transportation.

Entitled ‘By Any Means,’ the travel documentary presents host Charley Boorman and his cameraman Paul “Mungo” Mungeam, as they go around using rare transport vehicles.

Hosting the crew and providing information on the country’s interesting modes of transport, the Department of Tourism (DOT) accompanied Boorman and Mungeam in their journey which includes sidetrips to alternative tourist spots.

“Apart from presenting accessibility of our different destinations through our creative means of transportation, the show also highlights the unique facets of our tucked- away destinations,” said Joseph 'Ace' Durano, Secretary of Tourism.

Meanwhile, Eduardo Jarque, Jr., Undersecretary for Tourism Planning and Promotions, said “We made certain that the group will have a one-of-a-kind feature on the Philippines. We had them visit interesting locales such as a monastery in Bukidnon, a fishing farm in Camiguin and a pineapple farm in MalayBalay.”

“By Any Means” planned a 10-day trip starting from Davao to Manila. They rode a skylab from Davao to MalayBalay where they transferred to a fruit truck to reach Cagayan De Oro. From there they took a Supercat to Camiguin, then hopped on to a navy boat to Bohol.

Going to Cebu, they caught another SuperCat. The crew then hitched a ride on a military chopper that took them to Ormoc. Then they commuted via a public bus to Tacloban where they visited the Leyte Landing.

From Palo, they took a Jega spider cab to Basey. A fish truck brought them from Calbayog to Allen, Samar, where they boarded a roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) ferry to Sorsogon.

Traveling to Legazpi, the crew rode a rescue ambulance, and then scooters to Camsur until they reached Quezon province. From Calauag town, they took a railroad trolley all the way to Lopez where they got on an ‘anahaw’ delivery truck to get to Unisan.

Next time, the group will ride a hammer to reach Las Pinas then jeepney to Makati and finally a quick tour of Manila on Mad Dog bikes.

According to Jarque, among the vehicles, the most unheard of are skylab, spider cab, railroad trolley and hammer.

A skylab is a motorcycle that’s been modified to accommodate more than two passengers with the use of long wooden planks. A spider cab is the local taxi of Tacloban in Leyte, while a railroad trolley is a 4 feet x 8 feet boxcar that rides on railroad tracks. A hammer is the Philippines’ version of the Hummer, Jarque stressed.

Domingo Ramon Enerio, DOT London Tourism Attaché said, “I’ve received reports that Boorman had a great time in their cross-country rides and visits to local spots in Mindanao. This is good as it projects a positive image of the country, most specially in places which have been deemed risky for the tourists.” (PNA)

Madayaw! Salamat for visiting Mindanaoan! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Thanks to SPRUCE Designer Network, Inc., to its owners Trisha and Vanessa Tamparong and to its very amiable marketing officer Cristina Maagad (Hello, Miss Tiny!), I had a blast at the recently concluded Make Your Own Havaianas 2009 Cagayan de Oro leg event. The MYOH 2009 Northern Mindanao event was held last October 23 to 25, 2009 at the Atrium, Limketkai Mall, Cagayan de Oro City and it was my very first Make Your Own Havaianas experience!

http://www.mindanaoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/havaianasposter.jpg

Armed with my VIP invitation, I went to the Atrium and left with a huge smile on my face! It was fun “creating” my own special pair. No wonder Havaianaticos look forward to this special event!

http://www.mindanaoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/myoh1-1024x679.jpg

The whole process was not only fun but pretty fast, too. I was given a brochure where I was to write my contact information and for me to choose my preferred sole color, size and style (there were adult slim and top styles available), preferred strap color and style as well as my preferred Havaianas Lifestyle Pins.

It was easy to choose since there were specially designed “wheels” which you can use to compare colors, style and to mix and match straps with soles.

http://www.mindanaoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/myoh6-679x1024.jpg

Since this year’s theme is “Put some local soul into your step,” I chose four Culture Pins that depicted Filipino pride — the vinta, jeepney, sorbetero and Philippine map pins.

There are also other available designs such as a lomo cam and Swarovski crystals.

As soon as I made up my mind on how my masterpiece should look like, I approached a member of the Havaianas team and she assembled my special pair for me…on the spot! That was a first for me, too, by the way…it was the first time for me to witness firsthand how a pair of Havaianas was assembled!

http://www.mindanaoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/myoh5-198x300.jpg

The Lifestyle Pins, by the way, were sold for only P50.00 each. Not bad for pretty embellishments on my Havaianas masterpiece!

http://www.mindanaoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/myoh7-1024x679.jpg
myoh7

As soon as my pair was done, I proceeded to the cashier to claim my Havaianas flip-flops bag and Havaianas bag tag.

http://www.mindanaoan.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/myoh91-679x1024.jpg
myoh9

Of course, my first ever Make Your Own Havaianas experience won’t be complete if I don’t have my picture taken at the Havaianas photo wall! That’s me and my Havaianas masterpiece!

As you can see, I had so much fun at my MYOH experience that I can safely say that it won’t be my last :)

Thank you very much to Spruce, Vanessa, Trisha, Tiny and to my brother Bon (who took all the shots here in this Mindanaoan blog entry) I super love my new pair of Havaianas! Super, super, super ahlavet :)

Watch out for the next MYOH event. In the meantime, do visit Spruce boutique at the 2nd floor of Limketkai Mall, CDO. Spruce is the exclusive distributor of fashion brands such as Happy Feet, Havaianas, Puma, Lacoste, Footwear, Birkenstock, Happy David, Aranaz, Cole Vintage, Liana Navarro, and Coco & Tres in northern and western Mindanao.

Spruce Designer Network Inc. is a retail and distribution company that aims to bring global fashion lifestyle brands and the brands of young Filipino designers to northern and western Mindanao. It runs the Puma and Spruce stores in Limketkai Mall, Cagayan de Oro as well as the All Flip-flops store in SM City Cagayan de Oro.

VECO to distribute 250,000 CFLs (http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/226525/veco-distribute-250000-cfls)
By PHOEBE JEN INDINO
October 26, 2009, 5:43pm

CEBU CITY – Inline with the governments enhancing energy efficiency program, the Department of Energy (DoE) is set to sign a memorandum of agreement with the Visayan Electric Company (VECO) before the end of this month for the distribution of 250,000 compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) here.

Allan Bacudo, DoE Science Research Specialist II of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Division during the recent consultation on Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Climate Change in this city said that the MOA will task the VECO to take charge in distributing the CFLs to household residents.

Under the MOA, the VECO will identify the distribution center where household residents will exchange their incandescent bulbs (IB) for CFLs, as part of Government’s initiative to save energy consumption.

“After VECO identifies its distribution center, household residents can then exchange up to a maximum of six IBs for six CFLs provided that the IBs are not broken and in good condition,” he said.

Bacudo disclosed that household residents of this city will be the first recipients of the CFL distribution, while others cities will immediately follow.

Meanwhile, the Switch to Efficient Lighting' project of the DOE which is highlighted with the use of CFLs is the DOE's tagline in its aim to hit the 13 million CFLs target distribution in the country that will run until end of next year or early 2011.

Further, the distribution of the 13 million CFLs is divided into three lots where the first lot is expected to distribute 5 million CFLs to replace IBs in households in four identified power distribution utilities' areas namely MERALCO for Metro Manila, Davao Light for Davao City, CEPALCO for Cagayan de Oro and VECO of this city.

Of the 5 million CFLs which will be distributed in a span of three months, Metro Manila garnered the highest number with 4.45M CFLs for distribution followed by Cebu City household residents with 250,000 CFLs, Davao City with 200,000 CFLs and Cagayan de Oro with 100,000 CFLs.

thanks for the update Darky, good work as usual. regarding this amphi theater, im not so thrilled about it. for me its too provincial for CDO, being a city of modernism in the near future. it would have been better to build an open arena right beside the proposed City Center along the Golden Mile. the current lot is just too narrow and really not fitting, it would block the view of the iconic City Center in the future (knock on wood). how about converting the lot to a botanical garden perhaps? :lol::nuts:

Minda bets rack up eleven golds

Monday, October 26, 2009

By Lynde Salgados

CEBU CITY--Responding to the challenge, Mindanao team banked on taekwondo and swimming events to open its campaign here with an eleven-gold rush in the inaugural Milo Little Olympics National Finals at the Cebu City Sports Center.

In dominating its rivals from NCR,Luzon and host Visayas, the Mindanao jins fought like a house on fire racking up a blistering eight golds that virtually secured them the overall crown in taekwondo event.

"Sigurado na nga kita ang overall champion in taekwondo..dili na maapas atong walo ka gold," said taekwondo coach George Arsenal Jr.

Laying the golden eggs on the mat floor were finweight Emil Dwight Oclarit, flyweight Joshua Latoza, featherweight Kevin Louis Sia, lightweight Josafat John Simon Licayan and distaff counterparts Iona Salvacion, Miguel Ragudo, Mary Anne Espina and Cyrmyn Perlas.

Taekwondo also delivered at least 5 silvers for Mindanao's cause through the efforts of Ace Phoenix Golez, Ryan Paulo Agudo, Aquima Mae Catayoc, Aichona Ong and Renato Sulatan apart from bagging four bronzes courtesy of Ivana Salvacion, Ducel Suarez, Aijo Ocamora and Alistair Gongob.

"Pasayloon na lang nato ang nagtamay kanato sa Mindanao. After all, na prove nato sa Mindanao that we're a force to reckon in this Milo Little Olympics," said Milo sports coordinator for Mindanao area, Megdonio Llamera, obviously referring to a volleyball coach from the host squad who earlier hurled uncalled for comments against the Mindanao contingent.

John Montalvan, Northern Mindanao's top sports executive, was also ecstatic after learning that Cagayan de Oro-based tankers JP Bondoc of St. Mary's School, Joshua Acain of Misamis Oriental General Comprehensive High School (MOGCHS) and Micah Salilig of Xavier University also won golds in swimming competitions. Bondoc in 50m breaststroke, Acain in 100m breaststroke and Salilig in 100m girls breaststroke event.

A silver in relay also sparked Pia Carbajal to win a silver in 50m backstroke and a bronze in 50m freestyle events for elementary girls.

"Visayas region is on top in swimming rivalry with 8 golds to show on the first day. Wala nakapadala og kusog ang NCR ug Luzon kay nag preperarar sila sa G-League which is also a national championship in age-group level," said Oro's private swim trainer, Roy Rivera who also noticed CJ Pineda's bronze finish in 50m breaststroke.

Meanwhile, a 4-0 MOGCHS sweep of the highly-touted NCR woodpushers had set the tone for Mindanao's strong showing in chess event.

Mentored by Wenchito Teopiz, the foursome of Jesse John Orlanda, Abdul Khalid Musor, Jason Nabatlao and Ryan Dinagsao had completely outplayed the NCR opposition made up of Amansinaya Anonuevo, Dan Gabriel Dilao, Steaven Crenz Fulcher and Neil Collins Javier that NCR's Visayan-speaking coach Expedito Bolico could not help but show his great appreciation.

"It was a bitter pill to swallow for our players kay sukad-sukad karon pa sila katilaw nga naserohan. Kuyaw gyod ang mga chess players sa Mindanao," Bolico observed.

Aside from MOGCHS in secondary boys, Mindanao's elementary boys and girls chessers from Corpus Christi School are also in a fight for gold in today's championship round opposite the home ground bets.

Chess saves Mindanao from losing 3rd place

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

By Lynde Salgados

CEBU CITY--Regarded as a "boring game" by the uninitiated, chess played a heroic role in barely pushing Mindanao team to third place overall in the first ever Milo Little Olympics National Finals which ended in grand fashion here Sunday at Cebu City Sports Center.

Among the last few events concluded, Mindanao won the secondary boys and girls' chess team competitions--courtesy of MOGCHS and Corpus Christi chessers' thrilling finish--en route to stealing the last medal slot from Typhoon-wrecked Luzon in what considered now as the best sporting meet the country's young athletes can be proud of.

"I felt staggered by the trend of games statistic results kay nameligro gyod nga dili kita makasulod sa top three, owing to our poor performance in the ballgames. But after the late afternoon announcement nga midaug kita sa chess medyo nabuhi-an ra kita'g dugo," said Cagayan de Oro-based Milo sports director Megdonio Llamera who already mentioned in the coaches meeting the City of Golden Friendship's hosting of the next Milo Little Olympics National Finals the Queen City of the South had successfully hosted like no other.

For the overall points standing, Mindanao got 373 points for the team silver or just 17 points ahead of fourth-placer Luzon which garnered 356 points.

The mighty Visayas juggernaut struck heavily on all fronts to run away with the overall championship, amassing 631 points or 80 points clear of pre-tournament favorite National Capital Region (NCR) which collected 551 points for second place.

"Dako na kaayo akong kalipay nga naka-third kita. Crucial gyod ang pagdaug sa chess after nga natabangan kita sa taekwondo, swimming ug athletics with more than a dozen of golds," added the age-less Llamera.

With two golds in secondary chess and a couple of silvers in elementary level, Mindanao delegation--mostly represented by Cagayan de Oro athletes--barely nosed out host Visayas for the overall crown in chess.

Mindanao's reign in chess was full of dramatic twist and turn. After a shocking 4-0 sweep of NCR, Mindanao's MOGCHS-powered secondary boys woodpushers fought to a 2-2 tie with Visayas team. A 3-1 win over Luzon in the final round, followed by Visayas' failure to sweep NCR in their own match allowed Mindanao to claim the championship via tiebreaker.

"Pero dili basta-basta ang gibuhat nga pagdaug sa secondary girls from Corpus Christi since after emerging victorious from two knockout matches nanlimbawot gyod akong mga balahibo," said MOGCHS' coach Chito Tupiz, who acknowledged the big help of National Master (NM) Levi Mercado in turning the Misamis Oriental board players into a potent force in the inaugural Milo Little Olympics National Championship.

City finalizes action plan vs air pollution (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=0&nid=2&rid=237958)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ILOILO CITY, Oct. 28 (PNA) – This southern highly urbanized city is finalizing its clean air action plan that will encompass all actions to be taken by stakeholders in collaboration with the city government here in an attempt to help solve the issues on global warming and climate change.

City environment and natural resources officer Engr. Noel Hechanova disclosed that they are now in the process of final drafting the action plan with the help of the local legislative body as provided in Republic Act 8749, or the “Act providing for a comprehensive air pollution control policy and other purpose.”

A national workshop on “Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region” was conducted last October 22, 2009 in Makati City, Metro Manila by the ASEAN-German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) and the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) aimed to discuss the action plan against air pollution.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Angelito Atienza welcomed all the delegates coming from more than 20 cities nationwide while former DENR Secretary Elisea Gozun served as the facilitator.

The cities of Iloilo and Cagayan de Oro presented its respective draft of action plan that draw reactions from the delegates coming from the cities of Baguio, Cabanatuan, Sta Rosa, Las Piñas, Mandaluyong, Makati, San Juan, Iligan, General Santos, Zamboanga, San Fernando La Union, Marikina, Tangub, Santipolo, Valenzuela, Parañaque, Pasay, Tarlac and Calbayog, among others.
Hechanova said the cities are currently focus on their own action plan that will serve as a wake-up call on what must be done now that the country has suffered so much from climate change.

GTZ representatives Roland Haas, Dr. Axel Friedrich, Dr. Rudolf Petersen and Philip Sayeg discussed the project that is being implemented in seven ASEAN countries, namely: Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao-PDR, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

The GTZ said smaller cities tend to be neglected in overall development planning and there is an urgent need to help develop and implement measures to improve quality in smaller cities.

The overall objective is to empower smaller cities to develop and implement their own “Clean Air Action Plan” with the participation of civil society and the private sector as many laws protecting the environment are not fully realized in all its objectives. .

Hechanova said in Iloilo, the main focus is on carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from the motorized transport industry and stationary sources industry.

Metro Iloilo is one of the 13 designated airsheds and Southern Negros as one of five geothermal airsheds in the country.

The city of Iloilo is considered as one problematic area in air pollution as it hosts one of the biggest motorized transport industry that emits carbon dioxide.

The city is hosting more than 68,000 registered motor vehicles and more than 10,000 registered motorcycles mostly used as tricycles.

The city ENRO said the local action plan will incorporate the provisions of the perimeter boundary ordinance, retrofitting of street lights, lamp retrofitting in shopping malls, promotion of bio-fuels, promotion of green architecture, exhibits on climate change, promotion of liquefied petroleum gas in tricycles and taxis, and a multi-partite monitoring of CO2 emissions.

Stakeholder participants to the national workshop were Rizalino Alido of the Iloilo City Alliance of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association (ICAFJODA), Aileen Escorido of the Iloilo City Alliance of Drivers Association (ICADA), Engr. Prudencio Magallanes and Mary Earl Daryl Grio of Central Philippine University, Ronald Limua of DENR-EMB VI, Rex Debuque of Panay Power Corp., Mart Tayo of the Iloilo Coalition Against Tuberculosis (CICAT), Reynaldo Beso of the Metro Iloilo Federation of Tricycle Owners and Drivers Association and Lydia C. Pendon representing the local media sector.(PNA)

Since gipakita man sa CREBA ang golden mile, legislative building, amphi redevelopment og ang city center, then there's a big possibility nga matinuod tanan iya gipangsulti kay three of them have already began. hence, the city center will be a reality soon.

THE HOUSE of Representatives approved on second reading two weeks ago a bill banning logging activities in Cagayan de Oro City. House Bill (HB) 6796, the substitute bill to HB 5887 and 5888 and approved on Sept. 23, seeks to permanently ban logging to prevent recurring flash floods. Cagayan de Oro City Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez, the bill’s author, said there are no logging firms operating in the vicinity at present, but he still filed the bill as a precautionary measure. The bill imposes a fine of P10,000 to-P50,000 and imprisonment of not less than one year to violators.

US chiropractor finds brighter future in Cebu (http://http://globalnation.inquirer.net/cebudailynews/enterprise/view/20091026-232350/US-chiropractor-finds-brighter-future-in-Cebu)
By Aileen Garcia-Yap
Cebu Daily News

Getting married to a Cebuana, an American Chiropractic doctor or chiropractor found himself serving another set of people in a different country with a totally different culture in 1998.

Dr. James Pardis has been treating patients in the state of Montana in the United States of America specializing in treatments of neck and back problems for 20 years.

“Well I was trained there and worked there for about 20 years until I got married to a Filipina who wanted to go home and stay for good in Cebu, so here I am,” he said.

Dr. Pardis chose carefully the location where he would set up his clinic considering Chiropractic is not a very well known treatment in Cebu or perhaps in the country before.

Chiropractic is a health care discipline that emphasizes diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the muscuskeletal system, especially the spine, under the premise that these disorders affect general health through the nervous system.

Eventually, the couple found a good place in Ayala Center Cebu, which teems with shoppers and mallgoers alike.

The clinic location being in a mall gives his patients ample spaces for parking and access to food, shopping and other lifestyle activities that his patients may want to do before or after their appointment with him.

Dr. Pardis invested over a million pesos to set up the clinic and the clinic apparatus needed to treat his patients.

He admits that he was surprised at how open the Filipinos were in embracing the alternative treatment that he was offering considering that it was not widely practiced and was not even included in any courses in the formal education system of the country.

“I had many patients coming here for consultation then for treatments even during my early months of operation so investment-wise I was able to achieve ROI (return of investment) within the year,” Dr. Pardis said.

Over the years, Dr. Pardis has gathered and treated over 6,000 patients already with a remarkable increase in the number of patients coming to his clinics including Americans and other foreigners like Koreans.

“In a day, they would average about 15 clients for consultation and treatments now,” he said.

Consultation is free at the clinic and Dr. Pardis would give them his recommendations for treatment after. Treatment duration would vary depending on the patients' case.

“In most chronic cases that I treat here and I think would still be treated by me instead of an operation I usually recommend about 10 sessions which could run more than 6 weeks and per session I charge them P1,000,” he said.

Cases like abnormal growth and alignment of the spinal chord or the backbone can be treated in the clinic. His clinic assistant Jhen claimed that some cases of scoliosis are due to wrong handling of the baby during delivery and which are not often noticed at an early age because they just develop while the child is also growing. Scoliosis is a medical condition where the spine is curved from side to side.

Dr. Pardis said that he has had some challenges in his profession as the only Chiropractic doctor practitioner here in Cebu.

“I had many difficult cases but I find them also rewarding especially on cases that I would be able to help my patients,” he said.

The clinic has not invested so much on advertising. Dr. Pardis said they have their patients do the advertising for them, when they refer their friends to him for treatments.

Just recently Dr. Pardis opened his second clinic in the country in Cagayan de Oro with another American Chiropractic doctor attending to the patients.

“His name is Dr. John Daley, and just like me he was trained in the US and has been practising Chiropractic for a long time,” he said.

Dr. Pardis said that he has also plans of expanding and opening clinics in other areas of Cebu.

“That will be the next step for me,” he said

He also informed that there has been talks of forming up a board of examiners for the Philippine Regulation Commission for those who want to be trained and get licensed as a professional Chiropractic practitioner.

He was also told of a plan to put up a college in the country offering Chiropractic medicine which he is very optimistic about.

“I've always wanted to teach so that would be an open idea for me,” he said when asked if he would teach if that school would be established.

The clinic at Basement 2, Ayala Center Cebu, is open Mondays to Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and 2 p.m. to 7p.m.

Arroyo, coop leaders in Oro for peace gab (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cagayan-de-oro/arroyo-coop-leaders-oro-peace-gab)

AT LEAST 5,000 Mindanaoan cooperatives representing 1.2 members will gather Thursday in Cagayan de Oro to discuss the role the coop sector will play in helping achieve peace in the troubled island.

Aside from being a major driver of economic growth in the island, it was time for the cooperative sector to take on the larger role of being a “vehicle of peace” and an “instrument of social justice,” said Orlando R. Ravanera, regional director of the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) in Northern Mindanao.

Ravanera and the chairpersons of the different Regional Cooperative Development Councils (RCDCs) in Mindanao will present to President Arroyo the “Mindanao Cooperative Peace Declaration.”

The declaration, Ravanera said, “affirms that the cooperative movement in Mindanao is up to the task of peace-building and development.”

Among the issues that they will be raised to Arroyo during the 1st Mindanao Cooperative Peace Forum are the following:

* The creation of Cooperative Human Resource Center in all regions of Mindanao as recognition of the cooperative sector’s human resource to enhance coop workers’ capabilities, develop their potentials and harness their skills

* Preferential use rights to the marginalized sectors—Muslims, Lumads (natives), small farmers and fisherfolk -- in developing their respective of resources

* Rectifying “social wrongs” committed by some utilities providing basic needs like electricity and water against member consumers whose rights of ownership have been “violated” all these years

* Promoting the “Halal” program and making thousand hectares of idle lands productive by planting crops and raising livestock for local consumption and for local and international market.

Ravanera pointed out that in the list of top 100 performing cooperatives in the country, 26 are in Mindanao, contributing 57 percent to the island’s gross domestic product. A 2006 statistics shows that Mindanao’s cooperatives had a total business volume of over P24 billion.

Being an economic powerhouse, Ravanera said cooperatives are in the position to affect change in Mindanao -- and only if their full potentials are unleashed by making them stronger.

Earlier, cooperatives in the region decried what they called “taxation excesses” even as they call for the full application of tax exemptions allowed to cooperatives.

This is one challenge that cooperatives will discuss in Thursday’s forum, Ravanera said.

“We must define cooperativism and not allow other government agencies to do it for us. In the light of the financial crises, taxes are watering down the very purpose of cooperatives,” Ravanera had earlier said in a forum on taxation early this year.

Auditions for 'Pilipinas Got Talent' begin next month (http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/entertainment/10/28/09/auditions-pilipinas-got-talent-begin-next-month)

abs-cbnNEWS.com | 10/28/2009 7:09 PM

MANILA – Actor-host Luis Manzano and international artist Billy Crawford shared their excitement with their first hosting job together.

Manzano and Crawford are the hosts of ABS-CBN's newest talent show, "Pilipinas Got Talent."

“He is my fellow Kanto Boy and it’s always a blast working with him. I think we are two of the most makulit na hosts on TV. Individually pa lang makulit na kami, paano kaya if we are together doing a show?” said Manzano, a self confessed fan of “Britain’s Got Talent (BGT).”

Crawford chimed in: “It’s a pleasure to work with an old friend of mine. We are definitely going to have fun doing the show. We are not really working this time. It’s just boys will be boys and we are just enjoying our time together. And we are definitely excited to do the show.”

Manzano and Crawford will be the counterpart of “BGT” hosts Ant and Dec. They will be using their wits, humor, and charm as they guide PGT hopefuls throughout their journey and perform before a set of judges.

“One thing about the show is anything goes. Kung ano ang kaya mong ipakita sa buong Pilipinas we welcome it. We believe that Philippines has so much talent. Now, it’s their time to shine talaga,” Manzano said.

PGT will hold its first audition at Lyceum of the Philippines University-Batangas this coming November 6, 7 and 8. There will also be auditions in Cebu on November 11, 12, and 13.

In Baguio, the auditions will be on November 19, 20, 21; Cagayan De Oro on November 25, 26, and 27; Davao on November 30, December 1 and 2; and in Manila on December 5,6,12 and 13.

Role of cooperatives in peacebuilding underscored (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cagayan)

PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo underscored Thursday the importance of cooperatives in bringing lasting peace and development, especially in the conflict areas of Mindanao.

"Especially in Mindanao, development must come hand in hand with peace because the problem is rooted in economic exclusion," President Arroyo told over a thousand participants and delegates to the First Mindanao Cooperative Peace Forum at Xavier University Gymnasium here in Cagayan de Oro.

The President said the occasion was historic because "the spirit of cooperativism is channeled through development," noting there is a lack of opportunities in ethnic communities due of the armed conflict in Southern Philippines.

The President noted that in Northern Mindanao Region, some 40 cooperatives of Lumads and 15 cooperatives of Muslims, including cooperatives of former Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) combatants, are now engaged in community-based forest management agreements with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

The President informed delegates that government has been integrating the programs of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the Department of Health (DOH), and other anti-poverty agencies into a National Social Welfare Program to protect the poorest from the impact of global economic crisis and to help those whose earnings are limited by illness, disability, loss of job or age.

The President added that during her administration, an unprecedented P150 billion has been released for micro-credit and has reached micro-entrepreneurs through cooperatives.

During the program, chairpersons of Mindanao's Regional Cooperative Development Councils (RCDCs) presented to the Chief Executive the Mindanao Cooperative Peace Declaration, a document geared towards sustainable socio-economic transformation and development within the region.

The RCDC chairpersons were Rosalino Sumile of RCDC-9; Isidro Lico, RDCD-10; Carmelina Francia, RCDC-11; Arthur A. Aller, RCDC-12; Francis Loque, RCDC-13; and Administrator Sammy Ibrahim, Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

The President also conferred the Cooperative Lifetime Achievement Awards to lawyer Mordino Cua and Professor Edna Aberilla, and Posthumous Awards to Marieto Ga and Representative Guillermo Cua.

Special citations were, likewise, presented to ABCA administrator Soc Anthony Del Rosario, and Police Superintendent Benito Olea Ramos, training director of the Philippine Public Safety College, Regional Training School, (PPSC-RTS), and Northern Mindanao Region.

On her way to Cagayan de Oro City Airport, the President dropped by at the
Provincial Capitol grounds and joined the children in the culmination of
Misamis Oriental Universal Children's Month Celebration.

At the airport, she awarded ancestral domain titles to Higaonon tribe from a remote village in Claveria, Misamis Oriental.

The distribution of the land titles coincided with the commemoration of the 12th anniversary celebration of Indigenous Peoples Right Act (IPRA).

Certificates of Ancestral Domain Titles (CADT) to village chiefs representing the Higaonon tribe of Barangay Minalwang in Claveria, covering an area of 18,028 hectares. Some 1,816 individuals stand to benefit from the CADT.

Higaonon leaders Datu Amumahan Pina-andil, Datu, received the CADTs
Ditumbagan Bio, Datu Dikno Mansumagan and Datu Maagsug Pina-ander.

Datu's Pina-andil and Bio thanked the President for the CADTs, saying the future for the next generation of the tribe is now secure.

The President also ordered Social Welfare Secretary Esperanza Cabral to bring the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) to Barangay Minalwang.

Secretary Cabral said the President for the next 300,000 family beneficiaries of 4Ps the Higaonon tribe is included in their list as recipient.

The Higaonon tribe of Minalwang applied for Certificate of Ancestral Domain
Claim (CADC-114) on Oct. 21, 1997 and awarded by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

After years of waiting, the CADC was converted into CADT-084 through the
National Commission for Indigenous People (NCIP), which covers 18,028 hectares in Barangay Minalwang, Claveria town, portions of Barangays Hindangon and Eureka in Gingoog City, portions in the towns of Malitbog and Impasug-ong in Bukidnon, and portions of Barangay Guibunon in the municipality of Esperanza, Agusan Del Sur.

Oro's Lariba makes it anew to Seag tilt

Thursday, October 29, 2009

By Lynde Salgados

CAGAYAN de Oro's 14-year-old sensation Ian Nietes Lariba poured her energy in the succeeding Manila Challenge to bring home the bacon in a bigger way.

Her table tennis team missed the gold for Mindanao's cause in the just-held First National Milo Little Olympics in Cebu City.

Flying immediately to the big city after a silver team effort in the Queen City of the South, the third-year high school student of Corpus Christi went on to win the women's singles crown of the 2009 Hao Chin Sr. Memorial national table tennis tournament at the Blue Eagle gym in Ateneo.

Shaking off fatigue and emotional downfall brought by a frustrating finish in Cebu, Lariba left nothing to chance as she blanked Chrisma Capistrano, 12-10, 11-7, 11-9 in three sets of the women's open singles selection final.

A feat that catapulted the CDO lass to earning a berth in the Philippine delegation to the 25th Southeast Asian Games in Vientiane, Laos.

"She handily won the singles match against NCR, Luzon and the tough host Visayas. But it is team competition in Milo Little Olympics and Visayas proved to be a better team in the finals. Let's just take our chance in Manila," Ian's amiable mother, Imelda Lariba then told Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro during the Mindanao team's outing in Cebu.

Also booking a ticket to Laos for the Dec.9 to 18 biennial meet were Capistrano and Henezy Aragon as well as Richard Gonzales and Julius Esposo for the Seagames squad in the event sanctioned by the Table Tennis Association of the Philippines (Tatap).

Two years ago, the then 12-year-old Lariba qualified straight to the biennial meet in Singapore when she conquered the 13-under, juniors' 16-under and the women's open fields in her first serious attempt to brave the national championships in Manila.

"We're very proud of Ian Lariba. She's a very special athlete who can excel both in sports and academics. Her attitude towards study and exceptional ability in her chosen event will no doubt inspire many of the youths today," said Eric Miguel, sports coordinator of Corpus Christi School.

PGMA awards ancestral domain titles to Higaonon tribe (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=0&nid=12&rid=238296)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Oct. 29 (PNA) -- After 12 years of waiting, the Higaonon tribe in a remote village in Claveria, Misamis Oriental, now have a land they can call their own.

In commemoration of the 12th anniversary of the Indigenous People's Right Act (IPRA), President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo distributed Certificates of Ancestral Domain Titles (CADT) to four village captains in a simple ceremony Thursday at the VIP Lounge of Cagayan De Oro City Airport.

The CADT for Higaonon tribe of Barangay Minalwang in Claveria town covers an area of 18,028 hectares. Some 1,816 individuals stand to benefit.

The CADTs were received by Higaonon leaders Datu Amumahan Pina-andil, Datu Ditumbagan Bio, Datu Dikno Mansumagan and Datu Maagsug Pina-ander.

Pina-andil and Bio thanked the President for the CADTs, saying the future for the next generation of the tribe is now secure.

PGMA underscores coops’ role in peace, dev’t (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=0&nid=1&rid=238299)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Oct. 29 (PNA) -- President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo underscored today the importance of cooperatives in bringing permanent peace and development, especially in the conflict areas of Mindanao.

Keynoting the 1st Mindanao Cooperative Peace Forum at Xavier University Gymnasium here, the President told the hundred delegates and participants that the occasion is historic because the spirit of cooperativism is channeled through development.

Northern Mindanao posts P8.31 B in investment (http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/227102/northern-mindanao-posts-p831-b-investment)
By MIKE U. CRISMUNDO
October 30, 2009, 2:51pm
BUTUAN CITY – Northern Mindanao continues to attain economic growth after the region posted a P8.31 billion in investment.
Records obtained from the Northern Mindanao office of the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) showed the huge investments were posted by the 3,846 cooperatives organized in various areas of the region.

The investments were poured in the five provinces of the Northern Mindanao region.

Latest data showed that the province of Misamis Oriental garnered an investment of P5.39 billion, Bukidnon got P1.77 billion, Misamis Occidental got P553.7 million, Lanao del Norte got P528.2 million, and Camiguin got P72.7 million.

The CDA disclosed that topping the type of cooperatives in the region include multipurpose cooperatives (MPC) – agriculture at 2,051, MPC – non-agriculture cooperatives with 336, credit cooperatives with 160, service cooperatives with 91, consumer cooperatives at 62, producer cooperatives with 60, marketing cooperatives with 45, federated cooperatives have 27, cooperative unions with seven, cooperative banks with five, and one each for insurance and confederated cooperatives.

It was gathered that the fresh investments helped the region in generating additional income and creating employment opportunities for the local residents.

Northern Mindanao CDA Regional Director Orlando R. Ravanera noted that cooperatives in the region are “helping a lot” in uplifting the living condition of the people in far-flung areas.

“Cooperatives in this region contributed in development and progress, and also instrumental for social justice and peace,” the region’s CDA chief said.

The CDA director said the job and economic opportunities offered by the cooperative sector is even bigger than the micro and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as it has assisted the coops to create more employment and livelihood of its members.

“Somehow, the movement could be a solution to the decades-old conflict in Mindanao which could be actually traced to the unequal distribution of wealth resulting on just a few people getting richer, leaving the greater population to live in poverty,” said Ravanera.

As this developed, it was gathered that the Regional Development Council (RDC) noted the big participation of the various cooperatives spread in different places in the region.

NIA hosts irrigation engineers confab in Oro
by Rizalina S. Carbon

Cagayan de Oro City (30 October) -- National Irrigation Administration (NIA), in region 10, is privileged to host this year's National Convention of Provincial Irrigation Engineers from October 22 to 24 that drew together the country's leading exponent of irrigation development.

There are three (3) good reasons why Cagayan de Oro City is consistently chosen as the venue for very significant gatherings.

First, it is a typhoon-free region with favorable climate which ensures an uninterrupted flow of activities.
Second, it is naturally endowed with lovely sights which delight even the most discriminating guest.
Third, aside from being safe and secure, the hospitality is legendary.
:cheers:
For NIA-10, in particular, the recently concluded National Association of Provincial Irrigation Engineers (NASPIE) convention was the fourth of national assemblies hosted by the appointed Regional Manager, Engr. Julius S. Maquiling within a span of four months.

His first big event was the Project Managers Conference in August, 2009 participated in by heads of locally-funded and foreign-assisted national projects followed in the same month by the Association of Regional Directors and Operations Managers (ARDOMA) Conference from the country's 13 regions with the attendance of the Cordillera Administrative Region, Upper Pampanga River Integrated Irrigation Project and the Magat River Integrated Irrigation Project, then the Irrigation Superintendents Association of the Philippines (ISAPHIL) Board of Trustees Meeting in September and lately, the gathering of Provincial Irrigation Engineers which he heads as President.

The NIA Administrator, Carlos S. Salazar, provided inspiration with his presence and bouyed the participants' spirits with assurance of early year-end bonus, cash gift and other fringe benefits.

On hand to lend support were central office guests composed of: Gregorio S. Dumandan, Department Manager, Operations Department; and Pedro F. De Guzman, Assistant Project Manager, Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP)-Irrigation Component, Project Manager's Office.

Administrator Salazar was lavish in his praises for Manager Maquiling who bagged his latest promotion hands down from a score of aspirants who were as ambitious but were wanting of charisma and the attributes which make ladders of men.

Maquiling's sensational rise to fame is phenomenal and he is scaling the leader of power with resolve and confidence.

The NASPIE meeting is the medium where issues of common interest and concern pertinent to irrigation infrastructure, economic growth and unified goals for sustainable development are presented and deliberated on.

It delved on the implementation of the administration's current thrust under the Quick Response Fund Scheme and the National Development Corporation program for restoration and rehabilitation, the progress of calendar year 2009 CARP-Irrigation Component projects and the status of Irrigation Service Fee Collection, Cropping Intensity and Viability Index.

The affair was capped with a thanksgiving mass and luncheon party tendered by NASPIE President and Manager Maquiling at the Ursuline Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Convent. The mass was co-celebrated by Monsignor Elmer Abacajin, SSV, HP and Rev. Fr. Ed Magtrayo, SSV of the Bulua Parish.

The three (3) day event will have a long-lasting impact not only in making irrigation management more efficient but also in developing best practices and better solutions to the challenges of sustainable development consistent with the requisites for economic growth.

The 2009 NASPIE Convention was a roaring success because of the staff's impressive teamwork inspired by the indomitable spirit and far-reaching vision of Maquiling. (NIA-10) [top]

A formal ground breaking will be held today, October 31, 2009 at 3:00 PM for the “Santuario Do Redentor” or Shrine of the Redeemer at the Golden Haven Memorial Park at Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City. The giant statue of Christ the Redeemer in the center hill of the park is the focal point of the project. Set to be situated on the highest point of the property, Christ the Redeemer is seen to embrace the western section of Cagayan de Oro City. The occasion is timely for the All-Saints and All-Soul’s Day Holidays where people are expected to flock to cemeteries to pay respects to their loved ones.

“Golden Haven Park – envisioned to be “The Most Beautiful Park in Cagayan de Oro” lies on a massive ten-hectare area atop the naturally beautiful Bulua Heights.:cheers:
With an initial development of two hectares, Golden Haven Park – Cagayan de Oro will showcase ten individual gardens in its ten hectare park representing the leading garden designs in the world – the Japanese Zen, the Gardens of the Americas, the California Mission, the Victorian Secret Gardens, the French Royale, the Spanish Courtyards, the Moroccan Tapestry, the Asian Greetings, the Papal Gardens and the Tuscan Hills.

As other parks have single planting themes, Golden Haven Park – Cagayan de Oro will have the gardens of the world as its central theme; a concept conceived by Frederick Altavas that is sure to bring colors to the park.

Golden Haven Park – Cagayan de Oro has tapped the genius of experts in various fields. Its landscape consultant, Frederick Altavas, is the president of the the Philippine Association of Landscape Architects.

Its design consultants, Santos Caguingin & Associates (SC & A), are the favorite planners of the renowned Brittany Corporation and Crown Asia among others. Its strategic marketing consultant, Emerito Pascual, has stints as creative director of a number of ad agencies and communications outfits.

medyo masyadong focus ang kuha, kaya part lang ito ng property nila. I thought na ito yong denevelop nila kasi bali-balita before na ito raw ang gagawing subdivision.

Meanwhile, Bea turned 22 last Oct. 17. And just recently, her fans and friends arranged a surprise party for the birthday girl. Some of the ASAP IT Girls namely, Anne Curtis, Iya Villania, Nikki Gil, and Shaina Magdayao were present and were all teasing her about a new “J” in her life. Who could it be?

In the final episode of “Your Song presents Someone to Love,” Melissa (Bea) still weeps for the death of his father. On the other hand, Morrie (Sam) continues to show his heartfelt concern to Melissa. However, Brenda (Princess Ryan) causes an incident that will push Melissa to fire Morrie from the company. A confrontation between Melissa and Morrie leads to the latter’s accident.

Don’t miss the last episode of “Your Song presents Someone to Love” on Sunday after “ASAP’09.”

‘SIS’ wins Best Talk Show in 2009 CMMA

GMA Network’s “SIS” continues to reinforce its supremacy as the country’s favorite and top-rating morning talk-variety show after bagging the 2009 Best Talk Show in the recently-concluded 31st Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA). It was held at the San Carlos Seminary Auditorium in Makati City recently.

“SIS” hosts Gelli de Belen and Carmina Villaroel personally accepted the award. This outstanding recognition from CMMA further strengthened the position of SISas the country’s No. 1 morning talk show.

For eight years, it has consistently enjoyed a stronghold on viewer’s trust toppling eight ABS-CBN shows pitted against it. As it continues to lead in TV ratings in Mega Manila, “SIS” remains to be the viewers most preferred daily morning show and even a client favorite.

DJs showdown at Star City’s Lazer Blaster

The most popular deejays on Manila Broadcasting Company’s top-rating FM stations recently engaged each other in heart-racing, adrenaline-pumping, non-stop action at Star City’s Lazer Blaster.

Blasting each other to bits with their futuristic battle gear were 90.7 Love Radio’s Nicole Hyala, Papa Jack, Rica Hera, Missy Hista, Christine Dera, and Rico Panero, led by their station manager Jojo Cheung, versus the battle-ready 101.1 Yes! FM group of Vilma Taray, Maria Maldita, Totoy Bato, Diego Bandido, Biboy Bibo, Beauty, Bruno, and Brownie, with Glenn Garci and their deputy station supervisor Karen Golfo.

It was a true battle of wits as the Love Radio team, which has rated #1 overall on the AC Nielsen survey for the last 7-1/2 years, sought to keep their home base intact amid ultraviolet lights, powerful strobes, and wall-mounted laser beams of the interactive arena.

Showing their mastery of the most advanced computer controlled laser games system in the world, Yes! FM poured the heat on, tagging their worthy opponents repeatedly at every turn.

3-day event at Centennial Garden
