DAVAO City -- A consortium of local academicians and scholars is urged to take on the role of a think tank that will help steer Mindanao’s journey to holistic development.

Sixteen members of the Mindanao Studies Consortium Foundation Inc. (MSCFI) were exhorted by the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) to venture out of their institutions and build their mark in research and policy studies in the region.

“Issues in Mindanao are integrated and call for integrated solutions that require lenses from different skills and expertise. Being an institution of thinkers, planners, experts, and social architects, MSCFI can take the lead,” MinDA Executive Director Janet Lopoz said in a message delivered for MinDA chair Sec. Luwalhati Antonino.

vision of setting a new trend in the local newspapering industry.

When BusinessWeek Mindanao was first conceived, its publisher Mr. Dante Sudaria, just like others, had some sort of reservation realizing that many local papers have died down as fast as they emerged.

Much more that the paper covers only business developments and reports apart from crimes and

political intrigues.

Skeptics viewed the idea as nothing but mere figment of imagination.

Experience in the local newspaper industry not only in Cagayan de Oro but anywhere in the country had it that if the paper is not supported by an well-oiled network, or by moneyed owners, it will eventually bite the dust, so to speak.

TAKEHOLDERS in the construction industry are seeing robust growth in the country in the next two years amid improved economic conditions and the continued inflow of remittances from overseas workers, a research firm last week said.

Shell fuel

DAVAO City– The increasing demand of consumers for high performing fuel will be met following the launching Wednesday here by Shell of the unique gasoline and diesel fuels designed to improve performance and to act instantly on engines.

Fuel scientist of Shell Global Solutions Mae Ascan said Shell recognized the evolving needs of customers on their driving experience with the Shell V-Power Nitro+Premium Fuels.

She said using this product is cost effective as it will provide high performance as well as maintain the engine well. It has stronger cleaning power as it contains more of the detergent designed and cleans up deposits that can affect engine performance.

4 of 10 Pinoys hopeful life will improve NEARLY four of 10 Filipinos remain hopeful that their lives will improve this year, according to the latest survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS).

The poll, taken from Dec. 3 to 7, showed that 37 percent of the respondents expect their lives to improve this year (“optimists”) while eight percent said otherwise

(“pessimists”), for a net personal optimism score of +29 (“high”).

The new score, however, was a point lower than September’s LIFEPAGE 4

“The prospects for 2012 are promising and 2013 looks very good notwithstanding external factors due to a good macroeconomic environment,” Tzion Asher, Philippine country manager for BCI Asia, said in a statement.

AGUSAN del Norte -- The provincial government of Agusan del Norte is planning to build an international seaport in Magallanes town.

With the approval of the provincial board, the Andres Y. Narvasa (AYN) Resource Management Center is now

developing a master plan for the International Seaport Project including the proposed industrial and ecotourism project.

The international seaport will likely be a priority project under the private-public partnership program to make

the historic Magallanes town a major cargo and passenger ship hub in the Caraga region.

Butuan City, the region’s capital, is only a few kilometers south of Magallanes.

BusinessWeek Economy 2 NEDA endorses Siargao’s POEA warns public P610M ADP investment June 8-10, 2012

SURIGAO del Norte – The office of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) has finally submitted the Area Development Plan (ADP) of Siargao Island worth P610 million for approval to the office of President Benigno S. Aquino III. NEDA-13 Regional Director Carmencita Cochingco confirmed this to Governor Sol Matugas during a meeting held recently at the

Governor’s Office, Provincial Capitol, Surigao City.

The ADP of Siargao Island was formulated with technical and financial assistance from NEDA during the visit of NEDA’s Director General Cayetano Paderanga to the province last year.

The ADP total enabling investment worth P610 million is part of the six growth areas identified in the country, under the Growth Area Program (GAP) of the Na-

MINDANAO

tional Government.

The GAP facilitates the achievement of the President’s national goal of inclusive growth and poverty reduction by advancing less developed but resources rich areas and transforming them into globally competitive tourism, agro-industrial and financial economies.

Under the GAP, a Program Management Office will be established in all six program areas identified.

vs illegal recruiters

By ROBERT E. ROPEROS, Contributor

BUTUAN City – The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) in Caraga region has reiterated their call to the public against illegal recruiters.

According to POEACaraga Regional Director Marietta Bellotindos, illegal recruitment is still proliferating at present.

She thus reminded those who wish to work abroad to be vigilant on the actions undertaken by these illegal recruiters.

The official also said should they have knowledge of illegal recruiters in any place in the region; they should get in touch with their office.

Bellotindos assured that government authorities will do everything to stop these illegal activities.

She further stressed that to avoid being victimized by these recruiters, interested

applicants must verify the legality of the recruitment agencies’ operation through their office.

The director said they have a complete list of legal recruitment agencies for reference.

Meanwhile, POEA has come up with other tips to prevent illegal recruitment.

First, the agency emphasized not to apply at recruitment agencies not licensed

by POEA. Second, the public is also urged not to deal with licensed agencies without job orders, with any person who is not an authorized representative of a licensed agency, and not to transact business outside the regis-

tered address of the agency.

If recruitment is conducted in the province, check if the agency has a provincial recruitment authority.

POEA also pointed out not pay more than the allowed placement fee. It should be equivalent to one-month salary, exclusive of documentation and processing costs.

Also, applicants are advised not pay any placement fee unless they have a valid employment contract and an official receipt. Further, the agency advised them (applicant) not to be enticed by ads or brochures requiring you to reply to a Post Office (P.O.) Box, and to enclose payment for processing of papers.

Furthermore, POEA reminded the applicants not to deal with training centers and travel agencies, which promise overseas employment; not to accept a tourist visa, and not to deal with fi xers.

Davao water firm workers oppose proposed Angara Bill DAVAO City – Workers of the Davao City Water District (DCWD) led by Nagkahiusang Mamumuo sa DCWD (NAMADACWAD) on Wednesday registered strong opposition against the proposed Angara Bill (House Bill 2997), saying enactment of the measure would lead to the full privatization of all water districts in the country.

The bill, as proposed by Sen. Edgardo Angara, is an initiative of the Aquino administration under its “Private-Public-Partnership” or PPP schemes. Under the direct supervision and discretion of

the Office of the President, a superbody called the Water and Sanitation Regulatory Authority (WSRA) will manage and decide on all concerns of the entire water and sanitation industry of the country.

The authority will include irrigation, agriculture, fisheries, power generation, industrial, livestock, recreational and flood management.

“What we are against of the Bill, is the fact that the eventual privatization of all water districts in the country.

Through the Angara Bill, water will turn into a profitdriven commodity rather

than a basic social service, said Rudy Aranjuez, chair of NAMADACWAD. Aranjuez said there is no truth to the pro-people reforms that the proponents of the bill are pronouncing.

“The outright participation of the private sector in the industry, capitalists to be specific, will inevitably cost the people higher water rates and inaccessible irrigation for poor farms,” he said.

He raised fears that about 20,000 water district workers nationwide will be jobless when the proposed bill is enacted into a law.

Trailblaze...

eventually proved critics wrong!

The idea of putting up a purely local business newspaper, weekly as it was, that caters only to what is going on in the local economy is right on tract. Incredibly, in its fi rst year of existence, the local

business community has welcomed the paper with much interest, or perhaps by sheer curiosity, evidenced by increasing revenues, not just locally-sourced, but from national advertising agencies.

From then on, BusinessWeek Mindanao has metamorphosed into a by-word in the local business community.

But publisher Mr. Sudaria did not rest on the laurels of his paper’s success. He then ventured into putting up another local daily apart from BusinessWeek Mindanao. Then the Mindanao Daily News was born, and later the vernacular, Daily Bisaya.

And the rest is history. History, in so short a time.

Consistent to its philosophy, Mr. Sudaria wanted the communities to perceive this as their paper, and use it as the fi rst port of call for reader generated content.

“As well as the editorial content, we felt it was vital to get the support for the new title from the small local businesses. After all, advertising revenue will help increase the resources to grow the paper, and give us the ability to carry more content,” he said.

As BusinessWeek Mindanao found its niche in the Class A and B readers, it will continue to trailblaze community newspapering as an effective vehicle for development, especially in Mindanao.

Zest Air plans to offer flights to Australia ZEST AIRWAYS, Inc. (Zest Air) plans to offer f lights to Australia, documents from the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) showed, making it yet another budget carrier to announce expansion plans.

Zest Air asked regulators for 1,546 weekly seat entitlements to the neighboring continent, which it plans to use next year, a filing showed.

“Notice is hereby given that Zest Airways has filed with the CAB a petition for designation as Philippine official carrier and allocation of entitlements between the Philippines and Australia dated March 13, 2009, at total of 1,546 weekly seats under Route A to be operated in the summer schedules of 2013 utilizing its Airbus A330-300,” the CAB document read.

Ma. Alben S.L. Moro, chief of CAB’s hearing and examiners division, said that hearing has been tentatively rescheduled to June 13 from June 5 following Zest Air’s request.

CAB documents further showed that the country has an existing 5,000 seat allocation for Australia-Route A. Already, 3,194 seat allocations per week have been a l located to f lag carrier Philippine Airlines while a 1,260-weekly seat allocation have been given to Cebu Pacific, bringing the distributed seat entitlements to 4,454.

The country, however,

has an unlimited seat entitlements for the AustraliaRoute B that allows carriers to mount f lights from any point in the country except Manila and Clark to any point in Australia except Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.

This comes as other budget carriers were yesterday found to be planning flights to more destinations.

“Notice is hereby given that AirAsia, Inc. has filed with CAB a petition for reallocation of entitlements to Hong Kong a total of 1,428 seat entitlements previously allocated to Zest Airways (1,250 week ly seats) and Seair,” a separate CAB filing showed.

Air Asia already has 1,036 seat entitlements per week for Hong Kong, but Marianne B. Hontiveros, the airline’s chief executive officer, said that AirAsia Philippines wants

two daily flights to the former British colony.

“I want to run a second daily f light and need seats, which are un-utilized by those airlines,” Ms. Hontiveros said But Alfredo A. Herrera, Zest Air’s chief for sales and marketing, said in a text message yesterday: “We are not giving up our allocation, and we are in fact working out schedules.”

Seair, for its part, is set to expand its domestic destinations to seven locations: Cebu, Davao, Tacloban, Iloilo, Puerto Princesa, Kalibo and Bacolod.

Meanwhile, Cebu Air, Inc., which operates budget carrier Cebu Pacific, said it signed a $280 million contract with Rolls-Royce which will provide long-term service support for its Trent 700 engines on up to eight Airbus A330 aircraft.

Aboitiz ties up with UK firm for biomass plants “Aboitiz Equity signed a memorandum of agreement with Gazasia Ltd. to formalize their intention to jointly develop, construct, and operate plants that will convert organic waste material into carbon-neutral, sustainable and renewable fuel for vehicles in the form of liquid biomethane,” a disclosure to the local bourse yesterday showed.

The deal was forged in London during an official visit by President Benigno S. C. Aquino III, and will entail

the creation of a joint-venture firm called Asea Gaz Corp., a statement from Malacanang read.

Under the agreement, Gazasia -- a waste-to-fuel solutions firm -- will offer technical expertise, specialized equipment, and project management while Aboitiz Equity will provide core project funding and regional market access in the country, the disclosure added.

Profit-sharing scheme and the plant locations have yet to be finalized in a definitive

agreement that will be soon signed by the two parties, the company said.

Earlier, the Aboitiz Equity’s swine production and animal feeds unit, Pilmico Animal Nutrition Corp. (formerly Fil-Am Foods, Inc.) had announced plans for a biogas system on its Tarlac farm facilities.

Last month, food and beverage firm Universal Robina Corp. similarly signaled its entry into biogas after its shareholders approved changing the company’s incorporation articles to allow it to venture into ethanol fuel production, which in turn will complement Universal Robina’s existing sugar business.

Optimism for a better economy, however, declined by eight points from September’s +22 (35 percent optimistic, 14 percent pessimistic).

The number of Filipinos who claimed their lives had improved in the last 12 months decreased from 26 percent in September to 22 percent in December. Thirty-

two percent of respondents said things had worsened (“losers”).

SWS said net personal optimism remained “very high” in Metro Manila, increasing by a point to +35 from September. It said +35 score was recorded in balance Luzon, unchanged from three months earlier.

The scores, meanwhile, fell in the Visayas to a “fair” +17 from September’s “high” +24 and by one point to +25, still “high,” in Mindanao.

MORE A&E PASSERS: Fifty eight Alternative Learning System (ALS) graduates in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental were conferred recently with a high school diploma after passing the National Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) Test.

SSS may surpass goal for investments in 2012 SOCIAL Security System (SSS) may exceed the target it set for its investments on expectations that economic growth will remain robust, a top official said last week.

Edgar Solilapsi, SSS executive vice president for investments, told reporters in an interview that the state-run pension fund for the private sector exceeded expectations in the fi rst quarter in terms of earnings of its equity and fi xed-income placements.

“We had a very good fi rst quarter and I think the second quarter will be good also.

I think we will exceed the target for this year of about P23 billion to P24 billion in investment income,” he said.

He added that the energy and banking sectors remain attractive for SSS.

Solilapsi declined to give specifi c fi gures on its fi rstquarter performance.

He said a third of its P300billion to P320-billion investment portfolio is allocated to equities while a signifi cant portion is allocated to government securities and corporate debt as well as property assets.

The benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index rose 16.8 percent to 5,107.73 in the fi rst quarter on optimism that Philippine companies will continue to outperform amid weak conditions in the developed markets.

The government reported last week that the economy expanded by a better-than-expected 6.4 percent in the three months to March, aided by growth in the services sector and a recovery in manufacturing.

Solilapsi said the fund has no plans to invest abroad while noting that the Philippine economy continues to have “advantages,” such as relatively cheap labor, a robust business-process outsourcing sector and remittances from overseas Filipinos.

“These create a f low of money. When there is money in the economy there is demand for products like food, electronics and housing,” he said.

SSS also owns large stakes in listed firms like Philex Mining Corp., where it owns about 20 percent.

Solilapsi said the company is not in any talks to sell its stake in the miner, which is effectively controlled by the Manuel V. Pangilinan-led First Pacific Co. Ltd.

Life’s Surprises THINK a minute…

Remember Christopher Columbus, the great explorer from Europe? He planned to sail across the Atlantic ocean to find Asia, but failed.

However, instead of Asia he found the New World, now called America. And you know the rest of the story.

Of course, America is not as nice as Asia, but at least Columbus’ discovery was not a total loss. It’s funny how life’s disappointments and surprises often can still turn out well.

Louis Pasteur was looking for a way to keep wine from turning sour, but instead he found a way to kill all

the dangerous bacteria in milk. Today this process of pasteurization makes milk safe for us to drink.

Willhelm Roentgen was working on a way to improve photography, but instead he found the way to make X-Rays, which has enabled doctors to help even save millions of lives.

Alexander Bell tried to improve the telegraph, but instead he ended up inventing the telephone.

How many times have you really wanted something and did not get it, but instead you ended up getting something even better? So in the end, you were very happy and

thankful you did not get what you first thought you needed and wanted.

S ome one onc e s a id : “When God wants to curse us, He gives us what we ask for.” You see, sometimes we want things that are not good for us and in the end will make us very unhappy.

So it is because God loves us that He does not give us what we want, but instead He surprises us by giving us something better!

Don’t forget, since God created you and me, He knows much better than we do what will really make us happy and healthy. This is why asking Him to take

Flying the Troubled Skies!

TROUBLE in the sky has saddled the local airline industry with complaints of flight delays and cancellations. It has been through our experience that the deteriorating airlines services at the height of the summer month and of late during weather disturbance have hit the limelight. We witnessed passengers and airline ground personnel altercation over f light delays and some incidents even caused a big fist fight among social heavy weights in the airport lounge as a result of baggage mishandling.

The Civil Aeronautics Board which is the governing body that regulates airline careers in the Philippines should consider some amendments to the air careers third party liability in case of passenger’s miscarriage or failure of airlines to perform service to passengers and ticket holders which has a confirmed f light booking which includes among others, flight delays, cancellations and baggage off loading.

There has to be rules and awards of damages where

all airlines in the Philippines should follow.

The Philippine’s air carriers have expanded in the last 9 years with new players coming up to challenge the low cost and no frills airlines in the business.

Government has encouraged the emergence of new investors and acquisitions of new aircrafts to the opening of more domestic and international routes which has recently added air traffic and airport congestions to our premier airports in the national capital region long been suffering from airport dysfunction.

With the introduction of the airlines promo and ticket sales, travel by air has expanded to a wider range of the air travelers market. The airlines periodic promotional ticket sales results to over booking and shortage of seats and aircraft overweight are endangering safety. It has also caused overcrowding of air traffic lanes and airport runways leading to f light delays.

The airline industry has universal rules governed by

the International Air Travel Association (IATA) where all governments of the world are signatories and are bound in the Geneva Convention to observed passengers protection and upholding the rights of air travelers for compensation as a result of accidents or reckless imprudence resulting to loss of lives, injuries or losses through f light delays and baggage mishandling.

New policies must be back up by laws of public convenience in order to restore foreign confidence in the stability of air travel in this country which we need to overhaul if we need to attract more visitors to come and have some fun in the Philippines.

In many airports of our country, we have witnessed and seen on national television screens incidents of passenger’s outcry and outburst over delayed flights lasting for many hours causing discomfort to older passengers and young travelling children. Many are left to fend for themselves the hunger and exhaustions setting on

Normin’s teenage mom posted at 5.2 percent, placed 9th in PHL NOW that the Coronavela had bid farewell in our tubes, the government, more in particular, our lawmakers can confront more pressing issues that have continuously beset the country today.

The passing into law of the reproductive health bill has remained elusive as it is still enveloped with issues of morality. Thus, the tug-of-war between the church and the state has stirred various reactions.

However, this issue should be put at rest anytime soon because teenage pregnancy is becoming a major challenge for the government in the health department.

Statistics show that births born to teenage mothers in Northern Mindanao in 2009 is recorded at 11, 309 (5.2% of the country’s total) placing the region at

9th place among regions in the country with most number of births with teenage mothers. Total births born to teenage mothers in the country was recorded at 195,662 or approximately 11.2 percent of the total births in 2009.

Northern Mindanao is on the ninth spot next to the Bicol Region with 5.5 percent and is higher than 0.7 percentage point to Cagayan Valley. Top three spots were grabbed by the National Capital Region (14.6%), CALABARZON (14.3%) and Central Luzon (12.2%).

Most alarming to this figure is that 56 of the births born to teenage mothers in the region were of mothers aging below 15 years old.

This figure is a disturbing fact since these teen-age

mothers do not know yet the dynamics of motherhood and caring for a child especially that they themselves still need it. More than ten thousand births were born to fifteen to nineteen year – old mothers.

Births to young women also posed high health risks both for the child and the mother. This might lead to maternal deaths because the body is not yet ready for giving birth. They are at increased risk for complications, such as premature labor and other consequences.

On the other hand, children born to teenage mothers are more likely to suffer social, and emotional problems.

Effects of teenage pregnancy are not just pointed towards the health of the mother and the baby; these teens are far more likely to end up poor

Unparalleld Banking Infrastructure in Mindanao THE year 2011 saw further expansion of ONB’s reach and accessibility in the countryside as it opened another branch and deployed ten more PeraAgad ATMs in Mindanao.

By end of 2011, the number of ONB branches reached a total of 82, with new branches in Matina, Davao City. New Corella, Davao del Norte and Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat. Old branches in Guiwan, Cabadbaran, Surigao and Libungan were transferred to new and spacious offices, and the branches in Bansalan and Monkayo were upgraded for more modern appeal.

ONB’s unequalled infrastructure in Mindanao is highly attributable to the Bank’s unwavering focus on its brand of “inclusive banking”, going to unbanked and underbanked places where other banks would not dare go and enabling these places to experience e-banking products and services.

The year 2012 shall witness the establishment of more branches, deployment of more electronic channels such as ATM, POS and Internet Banking, introduction of Micro Banking Offices (MBO) and most importantly, the launching of ONB Center, a 7-storey building which will house the ONB Head Office staff of more than 300 professionals.

“There’s a lot to be hopeful for in the construction industry even in provinces in Northern Mindanao, the Visayas and Northern Luzon especially the Subic-Angeles area [in Central Luzon],” Asher said.

“I would be very reluctant to attribute any Philippine problems to external factors.

Potential problems would be internal,” Asher said.

Growth will likely be driven by construction for residential and office spaces and the strong performance of the hotel industry, he added.

“A big driver for growth is high demand and low avail-

ability of office spaces,” Asher said.

A recovery in the global economy will also positively impact private construction, particularly through remittances, he said.

“One of the interesting things about the residential segment is how closely aligned it is with OFW remittances because housing is one of the top investment priorities for OFWs,” Asher noted.

Data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas show that remittances totaled $4.84 billion in the first quarter, up 5.4% from year-ago levels.

The central bank projects a 5% growth for the full-year.

The private sector is also seen to be prodded by government spending, with public

Total construction starts expanded by 26.64% to P16.45 billion from P12.99 billion in April, with the share for public construction similarly growing to 34.56% versus 29.48%, month-on-month.

“The significance of public construction cannot be overestimated. If we want to enable private sector growth in tourism, manufacturing and so on, there must be infrastructure to support it,” Ian Paolo T. Reyes, chief data analyst of construction media group,

BCI Asia Philippines, Inc. BCI Asia said in a statement in April that state financing may have more impact if invested in policies which spur private sector construction growth rather than directly funding public construction. “[A] peso spent directly in public sector construction could have a bigger impact if it [were] invested in policies which aid private sector growth,” said BCI Asia.

Needed policy changes include privatizing building permit approvals, improving access to financing, and encouraging foreign investment.
