By MAYA M. PADILLO

Rep. Paolo Z. Duterte’s program to provide capacity building and livelihood produced a new batch of graduates on Tuesday.

The first district lawmaker, who was recently picked top performing legislator in the region by an independent survey entity, turned over breadmaking starter toolkits to 25 scholars who recently completed the breadmaking course conducted by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) at the DMMA College of Southern Philippines on Tuesday. He was represented by Benben Isidro and James Vergara of

the First Congressional District Office.

The beneficiaries who received toolkits are all scholars of the First Congressional District Office.

Kimberly Ballerda, OIC manager of the DMMA College’s Culinary and Training Center, said the beneficiaries each received an electric oven with measuring cups and weighing scales as startup kits for small business in baking.

Engineer, safety officer relieved from Davao bulk water project

The management of WITCO Construction and Development Corporation (WCDC), one of the contractors for the Davao City Bulk Water Supply Project (DCBWSP), has permanently pulled out the engineer and safety officer from the said project following the incident on April 21, 2023, which caused the untimely death of one worker.

“We have started to undertake a comprehensive re-orientation among our project leads and workers to ensure strict compliance to Occupational Safety and Health Standards, retraining of all our manpower and reinforcing full compliance to the work permit system, among others,” it said.

The distribution of the toolkits was jointly conducted by the TESDA Davao District Office, House of Representatives, and DMMA College of Southern Philippines.

“TESDA and the House of Representatives is providing the 25 beneficiaries starter toolkits to help them launch their livelihood and use what they learned from our training into practice after they have acquired skills through the training program,” Ballerda said.

Vergara said they are happy to hand the certificates of completion and the starter toolkits

Three workers were rushed to the hospital by the Davao City 911 rescue team after experiencing difficulty in breathing while one worker was retrieved inside the pipeline by emergency personnel but was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) due to suffocation.

An investigation was immediately conducted to determine what had happened, whose responsible, and to provide immediate solutions to prevent a similar incident.

The company has reached out to the affected workers as well as to the family of the deceased and has started to provide them with the needed medical and financial support.

“The safety lapses that have been identified in our investigation are now being addressed,” the statement said.

Currently, all works related to the DCBWSP have been temporarily suspended until such time that WITCO can fully implement corrective measures.

“WCDC is committed to doing all that is necessary to ensure that this incident will never happen again. Our sincere apologies to all those who have been affected by this regretful incident,” it said.

In a statement, WITCO said should there be any finding of negligence on the part of its supervising and safety officers onsite, the company will take full responsibility.

Davao Region third fastest growing regional economy in PH: NEDA 11

The National Economic and Development Authority

11 (NEDA 11) announced on Thursday that the year 2022 was a year of robust growth and resilience for the Davao Region with an economy growing by 8.1% and landing as the third fastest growing regional economy in the Philippines, tied with Central Luzon and Bicol Region.

In a virtual news conference for the 2022 Economic Performance of Davao Region, conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority 11 (PSA 11), NEDA 11

regional director Maria Lourdes

D. Lim said that with the notable economic performance, Davao Region exhibited its strong economic fundamentals, buoyed by a dynamic private sector, and reinforced by the healthy labor market.

She also said that Davao Region has fully regained its economic strength and when its economic output is viewed in current prices, Davao Region is now a trillion-peso economy, with around P1.095 trillion total value of output.

Lim also explained that the 8.1% growth rate was mainly driven by the accelerated growth of the services sector, and agriculture, forestry, and fishing.

“The better performance of the economy is indicative of the efforts of both the government and the private sector to restore the regional economy’s high-growth trajectory by boosting economic activity and production and helping businesses grow while creating more and better-quality jobs, improving infrastructure, and accelerating

poverty reduction,” she said.

She also said that the resumption of face-to-face classes and increased tourism activities also reflect an improvement in consumer and investor confidence in Davao Region.

Lim explained that the region increased its economic output by P71.8 billion in 2022, bringing its total output and economic value to P954 billion (in constant prices).

Lim also mentioned that the Davao Region remains the largest regional economy in

Mindanao in 2022, accounting for 4.8 percent of the gross national product, adding that the region is confident of remaining the main economic center of the southern Philippines.

“It is poised to increase further its contribution to the country’s GDP in the coming years, as we position Davao Region as an international logistics hub in Mindanao,” she said.

Meanwhile, Lim also shared some of the development prospects for the Davao Region in the

Davao City: The next prime spot for industry growth

Known as one of the largest economy in Mindanao, Davao is a growing area with lots of potential in terms of construction and tourism industry. It has previously been cited as one of the world’s fastest growing

cities, clocking in at top 87 in a list made by City Mayors Foundation.

Recently, Davao is also recovering from its pandemic slump, with forecasts showing positive economic growth this 2023. Davao has also

shown itself as a prime tourist spot for those who are doing “revenge travel” as it offers a lot of spots where tourists can go to the beach, hike, or discover the local chocolate industry.

With that in mind,

it’s not surprising that Worldbex Services International will once again hold two of their premier expos.

This year, they are bringing once again the Philippine Building and Construction Expo or

PHILBEX and the Travel and Leisure Expo of TLEX to Davao City, aiming to help revitalize the growing local industry in tourism, building and design.

PHILBEX features new and innovative materials for building and design coming from local and international brands. Local architectural firms and students from across the region will showcase the world-class potential and growing opportunities in the field of architecture. Alongside that, they are also introducing the city to stakeholders, showcasing the rising potential of Davao to different businesses who are considering the City as their next prime hub destination.

TLEX is also WSI’s premier travel expo. Showcasing the city’s rich travel culture and awe-spiring travel destinations, tourism stakeholders will appreciate TLEX Davao that would present different brands and services helping boost the local tourism and offer the beauty of the Philippines to local and international markets.

These two events aim to help elevate the industry in the city as locals, tourists, and stakeholders can discover more of what Davao can offer.

You can visit PHILBEX and TLEX from May 11-14, 2023 at the SMX Convention Center Davao of SM Lanang Premier from 11am to 7pm. This event is free admission so register now via https://rb.gy/ev0f

PHILBEX and TLEX is organized by Worldbex Services International.

As its name suggests, Barrio Obrero (Workman’s Village) has an undeniable Spanish co-lonial flavor; it started in 1916 in Puerto Rico, a Caribbean area with Commonwealth status. But its version in Davao, however, did not start until 1938 when the first such project was launched at Piapi, Quezon Boulevard (then called Bonifacio).

The first Barrio Obrero was personally inaugurated by Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon while the second one was legislated in Congress through a bill sponsored by Davao representative Cesar M. Sotto. This undertaking resulted in what is now Obrero District.

Barrio Obrero was first introduced in Manila in 1920 when Ramon Fernandez was mayor. The city government of Manila bought 94,086,300 square meters (9,408.63 hectares) of land at Grace Park, Calo-

ocan City at P0.70 per square meter. This was subdivided into 180 square meters per lot and sold to laborers at P1.50 per square meter, and the project was christened ‘Barrio Obrero.’

Apprised of the idea, American governor-general Leonard Wood, in 1926, ordered an ex-tensive survey of the slums of Tondo and San Nicolas districts, but no result came out of it. Seven years later, governor-general Frank Murphy organized a housing committee to con-duct experimental work in Tondo slums that resulted in the construction of thirty-one (31) model houses.

Encouraged by the initial results, Congress, the following year, allotted P250,000 for the erection of low-cost housing for laborers. For its part, the city government of Manila under mayor Juan Posadas built twelve (12) model houses on

land between Yangco and Velasquez Streets, in Tondo, Manila; it was named ‘Model House Site’ and the houses were sold to la-borers.

Later on, the concept was adopted by the municipal board of Manila by acquiring a loan from the Postal Savings bank to buy a 17-hectare land worth P387,685, divided into twenty-six (26) blocks of 513 lots at 108 square meters each but sold only to bona fide residents of Ma-nila earning wages that did not exceed P60 monthly or a daily wage of P2.40.

Serafin E. Macaraig, in “Social Problems” (1929), wrote that eleven (11) of the lots were set aside “for such needs as a school site, public midden-sheds, parks and playgrounds, mar-kets, theatre, public-baths, and other public conveniences.”

When the Commonwealth was constituted, Rep. Grego-

rio Perfecto, a native of Mandur-riao, Iloilo, who represented the first district of Manila (1935-41), filed a bill for the establish-ment of ‘barrio obreros’ in and near industrial villages throughout the islands. A P10 million appropriation was proposed to finance the enterprise, but the bill did not prosper.

Nevertheless, in 1938, the government organized the People’s Homesite Corp. with the National Development Co. as the sole subscriber with a total capital of P2 million. Initially, it purchased 1,572.3 hectares from the Tuason family at Diliman, Quezon City. Before its oper-ations were suspended due to war, it was able to sell 1,500 lots and 435 homes to low-income families.

After the war, President Manuel A. Roxas issued Exec. Order No. 93 in 1947 merged the 1938 state-owned corpora-

BRIAN JAMES LU

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) cited in its Governance Brief several good governance outcomes that have been documented when civil society organizations (CSOs) worked with the government for good governance. It mentioned the following: increased state or institutional responsiveness, lowering corruption, better budget utilization and better delivery of public services. The ADB also cited evidence that engagement of CSOs improves access, responsiveness, inclusiveness and accountability in the delivery of public services such as health, water, education and agriculture. CSO engagement also improves transparency, accountability and sustainability in natural resources management.

Those cited are the living experiences of the Philippine CSOs. We are fortunate that there are thousands of people and nongovernment organizations that are engaging with the government from the national down to the local levels. This initiative shows the Filipinos’ spirit of “bayanihan” where they are conscientious of their welfare by engaging with the gov-

tion with the National Housing Commission, created in 1941 under Commonwealth Act No. 648, but organized only in September 1945 under President Sergio Osmeña.

Central to the merger, which took effect in October 1947, were four objectives, namely: (i) establishment of low-cost housing for low-income families; (ii) establishment of housing for the destitute; (iii) slum clearance; and (iv) purchase, subdivision, and resale of landed estates.

The rise of workman’s villages would be replicated in many growth centers throughout the archipelago, including Davao City; it would also become the inspiration for future largescale low-cost housing projects. During the first Marcos regime, the government initiated a counterpart undertaking known as Bagong Lipunan Improvement of Sites and Services (BLISS).

CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS AND GOOD GOVERNANCE

ernment at various levels and issues. And these are geared towards good governance.

The participation of CSOs in governance was laid down in the 1986 Philippine Constitution which guaranteed the promotion and protection of people’s participation at all “levels of social, political, and economic decision-making.” In 1991, the Local Government Code was enacted and ensured the CSOs engagement in governance at the local level.

To institutionalize people’s participation in local governance, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte created the People’s Council of Quezon City (PCQC). The PCQC represents the more than 4,200 accredited CSOs in the city. The ordinance creating the PCQC was approved in 2009. It is known as the Participation, Accountability and Transparency (PAT) Ordinance that aims to institutionalize the participation of CSOs in local governance. However, it was only in May 2022 that the ordinance was implemented with the signing of the implementing rules and regulations (IRR). It took 13 years and the political determination of Bel-

monte to ensure the participation of the citizenry in good governance.

The People’s Council is composed of 50 representatives from different sectors namely business, women, homeowners’ associations, persons with disabilities, urban poor, solo parents, LGBTQIA, cooperatives, youth, transportation, and senior citizens, among others. Each representative is elected by their sectors for a more democratic approach to representation. I represent the business sector in the People’s Council.

As contained in the IRR, the representatives can sit in QC local special bodies where the expertise of their sector is needed. These special bodies are the task forces and committees where sectoral representatives can participate in the deliberations, conceptualization and evaluation of projects.

The PAT ordinance is an innovative approach to ensuring the practice of good governance. By institutionalizing the participation of CSOs, we can be sure that the programs of the city reflect the welfare and aspirations of the people.

The people’s participation

in governance ensured the sustainability of the programs and projects. Government resources are judiciously used with people’s participation and ownership of the projects. And with this, we are sure that we are developing sustainable communities that are beneficiaries of projects.

The ADB study on CSOs enumerated several ways where CSOs are engaged in designing, implementing and monitoring the development policies and programs.

* Access to information –When the citizenry is informed, they can effectively participate in governance.

* Consultations – A two-way consultation process is a good practice to enable those consulted to receive feedback on how their views were considered.

* Collaborative decision-making – CSO are involved in decision-making by government officials and agencies.

* Citizen and beneficiary feedback – This results in improvements in services such as quality, access, and transaction costs, among others.

* Citizen-led monitoring –

This is to increase accountability through the independent monitoring of the citizenry. This results in a reduction in corruption, increased transparency and accountability, and openness in government.

* Grievance redress and mechanisms – This is to receive and process grievances of CSOs. These should be monitored and the level of satisfaction levels of the complainants.

Quezon City is indeed fortunate to have an administration that promotes the inclusivity of its constituents. Belmonte has taken the necessary steps and it is up to the Quezon City CSOs to take up this challenge.

While CSO participation is the road toward good governance, the shift in this paradigm has still a long way to go. We have yet to see other local government units and implementing agencies accept CSO participation. They can learn from the good practices of LGUs who chose to abandon the traditional and exclusive type of governance. The world is changing and there are more and more leaders who are inclusive and open to a more liberal and progressive leadership.

7th seed Lakers finish off No. 2 Grizzlies in 6

LeBron James scored 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting for the seventh-seeded Lakers, who emphatically clinched a playoff series in their own arena for the first time since 2012.

The Lakers won all three of their home games in the series, and the final victory was a scary demonstration of their capabilities when James and Davis are both healthy. Davis’ imposing defensive presence largely shut

down Memphis’ offense in Game Six, while Russell’s five 3-pointers highlighted an impressive offensive effort from a late-blooming team with championship aspirations.

Kings stave off elimination with huge victory at Warriors

SAN FRANCISCO — Malik

Monk scored 28 points, De’Aaron Fox added 26 points and 11 assists, and the Sacramento Kings staved off elimination in their first-round playoff series by beating Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, 118-99, on Friday night (Saturday, Manila time) in Game 6.

Now, a winner-takes-all Game Seven is back in Sacramento on Sunday afternoon.

Rookie Keegan Murray scored 15 points with four 3-pointers and grabbed 12 rebounds for his first playoff double-double, and the No. 3-seeded Kings withstood every scoring surge the defending champions made on their home court and shined in nearly every facet of this one with their special season on the line.

Kevin Huerter, struggling

with his shot all series — 20 of 52 coming into the game — hit a 3 with 6:23 to go and another with 4:58 left as Sacramento gave the state capital one more chance to Light the Beam.

Curry scored 29, Klay Thompson 22 and Kevon Looney pulled down 13 more rebounds to give him an NBA-leading 85 this postseason. He was coming off a career-high 22 rebounds in a Game 5 win at Golden 1 Center.

But the Kings, in the postseason for the first time since 2006, answered almost every big play by Golden State in the third quarter and capitalized on regular miscues. They outhustled the Warriors to the boards.

The Kings led 90-80 heading into the final 12 minutes. Curry hit an early 3, only for Trey Lyles to connect moments later. When

Curry drove for a layup the next possession, Monk made one of his own.

Curry’s 3 with 9:28 left got Golden State within 99-89 before Fox hit.

Fox’s first points came on a jumper with 2:18 left in the first on his first shot. He then scored again the next time down still dealing with a broken index finger on his shooting hand. He shot 10 for 18.

Sacramento snapped a sixgame losing streak on the Warriors’ home floor dating to a win on Feb. 25, 2020.

Lyles wound up with 12 points and 10 rebounds as others picked up the slack with Domantas Sabonis in foul trouble. The big man had seven points and 11 rebounds before fouling out with 5:17 left.

Searching for outstanding junior golfers from the public school system

Our good friend and former Davao City Tourism chief Wowie HuangTeves, who just turned another leaf (Happy Birthday Wowie!) posted on her FB about David James Wee Teves.

This young Dabawenyo was first runner-up in the 11-12 years old category of the 2023 IMG Academy Junior World Qualifier last March 24 to 26 at the Eagle Ridge and Country Club.

He will advance to the next stage, the World Championships, on July 10 to 12 at the Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California.

In his Instagram post, David James said it was his first time pushing his own golf bag for 18 holes and survived the rounds that lasted seven hours. He thanked the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines for organizing the event that gave him the opportunity to see old friends and create new ones.

The world championships will be participated in by the best junior golfers from 56 countries, A to Z, from America Samoa to Zambia.

I know that there is an ongoing DAVRAA Meet in Tagum City, and I was just wondering if the organizing Department of

Education (DepEd) officials have thought of including junior golf in the sports program. After the City Meets, follows the DAVRAA Regionals and eventually the Palarong Pambansa.

I just thought that probably it is high time for the DepEd and the LGUs to focus their sports development interest also in golf.

Junior golf has been solely focused on young players who come from the private schools and I have not heard of any junior golfer coming from the public school system.

Yet, I am pretty sure that our golf club caddies in our beloved City of Davao have young children, currently in the public school system, who can be given the chance to shine in DepEd-organized sports competitions.

Naa man gyud sigurado maayo ma develop nga golfer nga taga public school ba, wala pa lang gayud ma discover.

It is just an idea you know.

There may be more young golf gems to be discovered from the public school system.

There can be more David James just waiting to be discovered.
