US urges China to convince Nokor to scrap missile launch The administration of Barack Obama is urging China to help convince North Korea to abandon its planned ballistic missile launch. There are new concerns that North Korea may also be planning another nuclear test. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the United States continues to urge all countries that may have influence on North Korea–– most notably China––to use that influence to make clear that they also disapprove of
the planned missile launch and believe it will further isolate Pyongyang. As for Washington’s message about the launch, Nuland said it is simple: “Don’t do it.” “North Korea’s launch of a missile would be highly provocative. It would pose a threat to regional security,” said Nuland. “And it will be inconsistent with its recent undertakings to refrain from any kind of long-range missile launches.” The most recent of those undertakings was a February
agreement with the United States to resume nuclear inspections in exchange for food aid. That deal was broken by Pyongyang’s announcement that it will launch a weather satellite in the next few days aboard an Unha-3 rocket. South Korean intelligence photos, obtained by VOA, also show what appear to be preparations for a third North Korean nuclear test. VOA or the Voice of America is a dynamic multimedia broadcaster funded by the US government.
While she would not confirm that intelligence information, Nuland said another nuclear test “would be equally bad if not worse” than the missile launch. North Korea said launching a weather satellite is a purely civilian operation. But Nuland said US negotiators made clear that any ballistic missile use would be a deal breaker. “They can’t launch the thing without using ballistic South Korean Army soldiers watch a TV news program missile technology, which is which shows North Korea’s Unha-3 rocket at Seoul train precluded by UN Security station in Seoul, South Korea, April 9, 2012.

Lass gypped of P22t cash CUSTOMS WARNS PUBLIC OF INTERNET FRAUD, SCAMMERS By CRIS DIAZ, Associate Editor
AN UNIDENTIFIED FOREIGNER gypped a lady from Cagayan de Oro City of almost all her personal savings through an illegal transaction via the internet, a top customs official said Tuesday. Commissioner Ruffy Biazon of the Bureau of Customs (BoC) did not mention the name of the lady-victim but warned the public of impostors who used the internet and mails
in their illegal operations. He said the suspect befriended and promised the lady from Cagayan de Oro to send her a package through a notice purportedly coming from the BoC after she
would pay a certain amount. Biazon warned the public that BoC never sends letters of notice about packages from abroad and about duties to be paid by an individual since only the Postal Service Office sends out notices. BoC’s responsibility is to assess the value and to collect payments for dutiable goods being sent through the country’s postal service. “We do not send letters or notices to individuals about parcels from abroad
Paying the Correct Taxes... “A Noble Act of Concern and Love, for Oneself, our Children and our Country”
and their corresponding duties to be paid,” Biazon said. “Moreover, should there be payments for duties and taxes, its payee shall be the Bureau of Customs and not somebody else. I am really saddened that some individuals have lost thousands of pesos to this scam,” he added. Biazon cited a case of a lady from Cagayan De Oro City who recently lost Php 22,100 to a foreigner con artist whom she met through LASS/PAGE 7

Free crutches, services to persons with disabilities By PAT SAMONTE and JOEL PORTUGAL BUTUAN City––The City Social Welfare and Development office has called on residents with physical disabilities to visit city hall for services reserved for them. CSWD office chief Aldeberan Mordeno made the call on the occasion of the Women with Disabilities Day with the theme “Particicpation of Women with Disabilities in Disaster Risk Reduction Management and Climate Change
Adaptation”. Mordeno stressed the importance of the role played by persons with disabilities (PWDs) in times of emergency and in helping mitigate the effects of climate change through proper education. According to Mordeno, the city government was offering livelihood and skills training as well as assisting devices such as wheel chairs, hearing aids, eye glasses, and free eye
operation to PWDs. She said that in place were modern equipment and facilities in the training and that the offer was a first in Caraga. Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. said children with disabilities will continue their schooling through a Day Care Center for Special Children which he said is part of his “Tuloy Aral, Walang Sagabal (Tawag)” program. A physical therapist will be assigned to the special children, he added.
P100m memorial parks in C. de Oro proposed LOCAL LEGISLATORS want the establishment of five memorial eco-parks costing P100 million in memory of those who perished when Typhoon Sendong lashed this port capital of Cagayan de Oro last Dec. 17, 2011. House Bill 5859 proposed the construction of memorial parks in the hardhit sitio Kala-kala, barangay Macasandig, Isla de Oro, Barangay 13 and Barangay 15, Isla Delta, Isla Bugnaw, Isla Baksan and Barangay Consolacion. Trees and grasses should be planted in these memorial gardens with an obelisk tower in the center to serve as a symbol and reminder of the people who lost their lives, were missing and injured during Typhoon Sendong, it said. ‘Further, river walls/ retaining walls shall also be constructed to stabilize the slopes along the parks,’
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez, 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro and Abamin Party List Rep. Maxi Rodriguez who authored the bill said. The appropriations for dredging of the river, the construction of river dikes, and the elevation of the parks shall be included in the annual appropriations of the Department of Public Works and Highways, the proposed bill said. The legislators also incorporated the creation of inter-agency council that would manage and maintain
these memorial gardens. The Secretary of Department of Environment and Natural Resources, as chairman and representative from the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council, the Department of Tourism, the Department of Public Works and Highways, the Office of the Representative of the 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro City and the City Government of Cagayan de Oro City as members of inter-agency council.

ZAMBOANGA City––The new acting Zamboanga police chief, Supt. Mario Yanga confirmed the existence of gun-for-hire groups engaged in killing of targeted victims in various parts of the city. A local newspaper reported Sunday that so far there are a total of 60 unsolved killings in this city since January this year. This figure does not include the hundred who have been shot at and survived the attempts on their lives. Yanga took over as officer-in-charge of the city’s police force from Supt. Edwin D. Ocampo , the day after University of Zamboanga president Arturo Eustaquio was gunned down a few meters from his home at Barangay Sta. Maria, which has its own police precinct, on April 1. De Ocampo was supposed to end his tour as acting city police director last January but City Mayor Celso L. Lobregat has opted to retain him in his position after he (mayor) declined to accept candidates for the position provided him by the Regional Police Command. The relieved De Ocampo was not named city police director in his two years stint as officer-in-charge of the city police command. The command has prepared a new list of candidates for the position. On the other hand, Yanga has served as city police director for Zambaonga for three consecutive terms of two years each. He only left the position for another position in the regional office because he said he could not grow in his profession if he stays as city police director of Zamboanga for all his life in the police force. Yanga said this gun-for-hire group or groups were responsible for the spate of gun-slayings in the city. Some of the members of these groups are operating locally but are accepting offers to kill from other parts of the Zamboanga Peninsula. Perpetrators behind Estaquio’s killing could be members of this gun-for-hire group, Yanga said. The 60-dead figure for Zamboanga include the April 1 Eustaquio murder cases reported in this city since early this year. The killing in this city did not end with the April 1 Eustaquio murder, as a military intelligence group (MIG) agent was gunned down last Friday in front of the office of the Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative or Zamcelco at Guiwan barangay, under the Tetuan police precinct. Yanga said he would also look into the other previous high profile crimes where innocent civilians, businessmen and even police and military men were the victims. “I don’t want to stay long as OIC,” he said, adding that he was still assigned as director for Administration with the regional police command. Lobregat is expected to decide on the next possible city chief of police from among the second list prepared by the police. Yanga was officially designated as OIC of local police force. He will lead the special team called Task Group Archie (TGA) mandated to look into the slaying of the UZ president. WITH WIRE REPORT

Ignorance is not bliss THINK a minute. During World War II, an uneducated man who lived out in the hills brought this letter to the city to hand deliver it to the United States Army. Since he could not read or write, his wife had written it for him. The letter said this: “Dear United States Army: My husband asked me to write a recommendation that he supports his family. He cannot read. Please take him. He ain’t no good to me. He ain’t done nothing but make trouble and drink beer since I married him 8 years ago. And I got to feed his 7 kids. Maybe you can get him to carry a gun. He’s good at huttin’ squirrels and eatin’. Take him. I need his food and bed for the kids. Don’t tell him I said this, just take him.” Well, I suppose it’s safe
Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst to say that husband’s ignorance was not bliss! What he didn’t know did hurt him! A story is told of a thief in ancient times who stole a very valuable coat. The coat was made of the finest materials, including buttons of pure silver and gold. When he returned to his friends after selling the coat in the market, they asked him how much money he’d got for the coat. He answered, “A hundred pieces of silver.” His friends
were shocked and upset. They said: “You only got a hundred pieces of silver for that rare, valuable coat!” The thief looked surprised and asked: “Why? Is there a number higher than 100?” You see, if you don’t know there’s more, you won’t ever get it. There’s so much in life for us to enjoy, just waiting for us to get it. If all you’re used to eating is bread and water, then you don’t know you could
be eating steak and lobster! There’s one person who can show you everything there is to be enjoyed in life. Naturally, that is the one who created life. Jesus Christ came to show us what it means to be fully human and fully alive, so we can live our lives to the fullest! He also knows the dangers that can trick and trap us. He’ll protect you from the pain you and your family will have if you don’t live your Maker’s way that He designed for your happiness. So why not ask Jesus to forgive you for living your own way, and ask Him to take charge and start showing you how to live His satisfying way? It’s the only way you won’t miss out on every exciting, good thing He has planned for your life. Just Think a Minute.
Politics simmers in summer • The thrill of political season starts to sizzle as election nears. EXPECT that with the culmination of the Holy Week, another observance sit in. Now, this is more aggressive and determined with some maverick character. We are talking of the preparation for the midterm elections Cris Diaz next year. Certainly, some quarters are already honing their weapons – like the North Koreans – in preparation for a major launching a year from now. What do we expect to see in the local political arena but the same old chaps and broken litany of deafening political issues? The problem, however, is that politics in the Philippines had matured as one of the ‘dirtiest politics in Asia’ and, perhaps, in the world. It really disheartens to think that our concept of politics is associated with dirty tricks, deceptions and ‘personal destruction.’ In the process, we cannot but expect nothing from candidates who would win but sham. After all, those who would win in electoral battles had in their minds the thoughts of recovering what they may have had spent in the elections. What gives?
It is more frustrating when newcomers or the comeback politicians regained their post. ‘Time to extract revenge,’ is the usual phrase of those who would succeed in regaining lost political pride. Although the above statement is preposterous, nothing can be nearer to the truth. In fact, even at this early, one could already sense the kind of political wannabes in the corner. One could easily decipher their thoughts and their obsession to gain political power. Their political machines are already grinding. Whether their political machines have had enough oil and fuel, they are aware of it. Although there are many factors that would push a candidate in engaging a good political battle, winning remains uncertain. Even the most seasoned politician knows that politics evolved in many uncertain terms, too. For instance, getting an endorsement from political parties is not an assurance that one would win an electoral contest. Like the game of chess, candidate losses or wins when an opponent employs surprise moves. However, in real electoral battles, surprise moves are but one among the various political maneuverings. If there are surprise moves, there are also brilliancy moves and sacrificial moves. What is frustrating is falling into snake pits and making blunder moves.

What is the significane of Jesus’ resurrection DESPITE all the progress made by mankind, one thing he can not be able to stop, death. Death is the consequence of sin. Romans 6:23 declares, “For the wages of sin is death. . .” Indeed no man, through his own efforts, can omit himself from this unfortunate outcome. “Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12). This inescapable situation that makes Jesus’ resurrection important. The rest of Romans 6:23 reads as follows,”. . .but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 5:17 also states, “For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how
The New Generation Alex A. Podador much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.” A wonderful opportunity has been provided to obtain God’s free gift of eternal life and righteousness as a result of Jesus’ death on the cross followed by Jesus’ resurrection. In John 11:25 we read, “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me
will live, even though he dies.” It seems almost like a paradox. However, what we need to realize is that besides the physical death which has come upon us because of sin there is the greater distress of spiritual death (inability to fellowship with God and being under His condemnation and punishment for sin). Jesus was put to death for our trespasses and raised (resurrected) for our justification (Romans 4:25). He has given us the op-
portunity to be at peace with God (Romans 5:1). We are also no longer under God’s condemnation, “Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men” (Romans 5:18). Jesus’ resurrection means that we are no longer under the dominion of death and more importantly the power of sin. We are now alive in God through what Jesus did. “For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves JESUS/PAGE 7

NOMINEES to BWM Awards UPDATE :
BusinessWeek Mindanao’s Nominees are Muslims, many of whom are rebel returnees from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). Bacani and his business partners envisioned La Frutera as a model of how Christians and Muslims can work together. It then has provided jobs to the Muslim and Christian residents of the community. Bacani notes that since the time that La Frutera established its plantation in Datu Paglas, there have been follow-up investments from others, albeit slower than what he originally expected. The once secluded, wartorn town now boasts of a mini-mall and a development bank. The crime rate is reportedly down. Bacani wants to inspire others to follow their lead and not be deterred by the negative perception about the peace and order situation in the Muslim areas. “Peace and development go together. We cannot keep on waiting for peace to come first. The reason why there is no peace is that there is no development. Fact is, if there is no livelihood, people can do anything as there is nothing to lose on their end. Now that we have given the Datu Paglas townsfolk gainful employment, they do not even want to lose even a few days’ wages.” La Frutera was the first
for MINDANAO’S OUTSTANDING ENTREPRENEURS & BUSINESS LEADERS AWARDS 2012
La Frutera Inc. is an agribusiness, the Philippines’ largest banana exporter whose exports are marketed and exported by ChiquitaUnifrutti and Ultrex. Its chairman and president is Senen C. Bacani, who was conferred the 2006 Entrepreneur of the Year by SGV Ernst & Young and as the Master Entrepreneur. La Frutera Inc. Story Senen’s years of experience in agri business and government prepared Senen for his first entrepreneurial venture in 1993. He put up Ultrex Management and Investments Corp., a company which initially managed the corporate banana farms of the Yuchengco-owned House of Investments. Senen and his colleagues, however, wanted to operate their own banana plantation. They approached Chiquita Unifrutti International, a Middle Eastern family-owned business that had plans of introducing Chiquita bananas to the Japanese market. He saw potential in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), with its fertile and undeveloped land, good climate, and readily available and cost-efficient workforce. However, during his visits to the ARMM, he became concerned about resolving the separatist rebellion in Mindanao. Senen convinced Chiq-
uita Unifrutti that the region, although farther from ports, paid lower wages and promised higher productivity. Senen’s partner is Datu Paglas, a former rebel leader who has his own business firm, Paglas Corp. “The business is good,” Paglas told him. According to the PhilippineBusiness.Com that in 1996, Ultrex and Chiquita Unifrutti established La Frutera, Inc., a 1,000-hectare Cavendish plantation in Buluan and Datu Paglas, Maguindanao. L a Frutera employs 1,745 people, 90 percent of whom are Muslims and 10 percent are Christians. Among the staff are a few hundred former rebels of the Moro National Liberal Front and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Many of the middle-level management positions are now occupied by Muslims. But then according to ManilaTimes.Net that it was in 1997, when Senen led the multinational company to invest in Datu Paglas, Maguindanao, a predominantly Muslim area in Mindanao. La Frutera, Inc., a 1,000-hectare banana plantation, is the biggest investment so far in the Muslim areas of Mindanao. T’Boli is also in Mindanao but is located in a “Christian area.” Ninety-five percent of its 1,700 workers

Meanwhile, two of the projects under PRMF Year 1 posted the following status: Maular-Monterico Road in Aloran town, completed last September and LuminapacMabini-Punta Sulong Road in Baliangao, also completed last December. The third project, Malibancao-Guba-Sebasi Road in Clarin, however, posted an accomplishment of only 28 percent, as of the end of 2011 and was terminated. Among the reasons for the termination was the contractor’s non-compliance to some specifications of the project, Calamba added.
THE National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) Board has approved the uprating of the National Power Corporation’s (Napocor) 200-megawatt Agus 6 Hydroelectric Power Plant, boosting prospects of additional power supply for the beleaguered Mindanao grid. Napocor said in a statement that among other objectives, the uprating project is designed to extend the economic life of Units 1 and 2 of Agus 6 by at least another 30 years. Built in 1953, the dependable capacity of the two units has gone down from the original 25 megawatts to only 20 MW each, and continues to deteriorate. As a result, Units 1 and 2 are operating inefficiently, and require higher maintenance costs, Napocor said in a project brief. In fact, “there is an im-
minent danger that these units will eventually cease operation at any time now,” it added. Under the work schedule drawn up by Napocor, the uprating project will require two and a half years to complete, or from June 2012 to December 2014. At the same time, it will entail a funding of P2.598 billion, which will be financed through a budget that will be provided by
large-scale banana plantation in the ARMM. Ultrex and Chiquita Unifrutti formally agreed to a 20-year contract wherein Chiquita Unifrutti would buy La Frutera’s bananas, market them under the Chiquita and Unifrutti brands, and then export them abroad. There are 45,000 hectares of banana plantations in the country. Among them is La
the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM). The uprating of Units 1 and 2 calls for the replacement of the two units’ main equipment, such as the turbine runners, main generators and power transformers. Upon completion, the Agus 6 power station will be uprated to 69 MW using the same configuration. Napocor said this will

be made possible by the use of modern technology in the design of hydroelectric power plants, particularly for the turbine runner. The uprating project is in support of government’s ongoing contingency measures to secure sufficient power supply in the Mindanao grid, which has been suffering from daily rotating brownouts since January this year. Other possible solutions identified by the Department of Energy include the re-visiting of the LeyteMindanao Interconnection Project; the dredging of the Pulangi IV hydroelectric power plant reservoir; the transfer of two power barges to Mindanao; and the operation of the Iligan diesel power plant. Agus 6 is the biggest of the power plants in the Agus Hydroelectric Power
(since 2005). Over the past 10 years, La Frutera has shown how a business model can succeed in a conflict-ridden area previously bedeviled by lawlessness, underemployment and interethnic violence. He believes that providing jobs, especially in rural areas, is the direct and sustainable way of alleviating poverty.

Macahilig to face Diale CEBU City––Mhar Jhun Macahilig, one of the next generation of Filipino boxing stars, has to pass the biggest test of his career Saturday night as he trades leathers with former world title contender Arden Diale. “Yes, this is Macahilig’s biggest test as Diale is very experienced. This fight would tell if Macahilig is ready to go to the next level or not,” ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer said. The 21-year-old Macahilig challenges Diale in a 12-round fight for the latter’s RP flyweight strap at the Bay Center in Bacolod City in Cobra Energy Drink’s “Tunay Na Lakas Boxing” on Saturday. ALA Promotions has promised to stage bigger events for this year in its successful “Pinoy Pride” series. The Cebu-based promotional company is keen on bringing in more world title fights and renowned foreign fighters in the “Pinoy Pride” series.
Macahilig could become a mainstay in the biggest boxing series in the Philippines if he gets past Ddiale with flying colors. “If he wins he will be consistently part of the huge events of Pinoy Pride,” assured Aldeguer. Macahilig, 14-1 with eight knockouts, fought his biggest bout to date in his career in his last fight. The Kalibo, Aklan native scored a second-round knockout over Kaichon Sor Vorapin last Jan. 28 as one of the main supporting fights for the “Pinoy Pride 11.” The 23-year-old Diale, 17-6-3 with four knockouts, is a five year veteran of the fight game. He has already been in a world title bout but was stopped in the fourth round by then World Boxing Organization flyweight champion Julio Cesar Miranda last year in Mexico. He has also fought two other world-class opponents in interim International Boxing Federation (IBF) FACE/PAGE 7

Soon after, she got an email from her chat mate with an attachment of a letter, supposedly from the Philippine Bureau of Customs, informing her about the arrival of the package in the Philippines and the payment of its duties and taxes through Western Union. The poor unsuspecting Cagayan De Oro lass lost almost all her lifetime savings, he said. Biazon also warned that not all perpetrators of these frauds are foreigners. “Locals are also involved,” he said.

Another miner, Arfel Paquiao, told police that an hour later, Thelma talked to him about the incident. He said he brushed aside Thelma’s confession as a joke. He admitted he was wrong when he learned the following morning that Gona was killed the evening before. “I was shocked when a co-worker Rudy Yesan reported the incident to the police Sunday morning of the hacking incident. I never thought it was for real,” Pacquiao later told police. Responding police led by SPO3 Reynald E Angchagco of Rosario Municipal Police found the lifeless body of ‘Royroy’ in the pool of blood in the couple’s house.

Council resolution 1874. So regardless of what they say about it, it’s still a violation,” Nuland said. US officials hoped for more from this first deal negotiated with North Korea’s new president, Kim Jong Un, who took power following his father’s death
in December. Victor Cha is the Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. While North Korea’s new president is thought to be assisted by top generals and an uncle, Cha said it would be a mistake to conclude that this decision came from anyone but the president himself. “The political culture of this place is such that any decision of national significance has always been taken by one person, and that is the direct descendant of the Kim Il Sung line,” said Cha. “And so I think while he [may] have people around him who are helping him, in the end decisions are being made by this 28-year-old.” Cha said the decision to break the February deal must be seen in light of North Korea’s long pursuit of nuclear weapons. “Even though this may look like puzzling behavior, we have to think of it as part of a systematic program really that is decades-old to try to get to the point where they can deliver nucleartipped missiles anywhere in the world and basically try to achieve, in their own minds, the ultimate security umbrella,” Cha added. With North Korea’s determination to press ahead with its nuclear program, Cha says the resumption of six-party talks to resolve the dispute appears a long way off. “I don’t think we are going to see any sort of return to the negotiations any time soon,” Cha said. “If anything, I think the situation could get worse from here.” Talks between North Korea, the United States, China, Russia, South Ko-
rea and Japan broke down in 2009, when Pyongyang expelled international inspectors before conducting its second nuclear test. Stemming North Korea’s nuclear ambitions will be part of talks in Washington Wednesday and Thursday, when US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hosts foreign ministers from the Group of Eight leading industrialized nations.

they won’t matter if there is no conscious effort to do them. Simple tasks such as keeping faucets tightly closed after every use, watering plants without using a water hose, having a shorter shower time, avoiding running taps, checking any leaks from plumbing, are just a few steps in conserving water—and the list goes on. All it needs are hands to actually do these steps. Conserving water is one tough task and keeping it safe for use is another equally hard task. Getting safe drinking water has been a challenge before but with the commercialization of water purification systems, and with Crystal Clear at the forefront, pure and totally safe drinking water has now reached many Filipinos all over the country. Clean drinking water is naturally important for one’s health. Considering the quality and the amount of available water right now, which is sometimes the cause of many water-borne diseases, people should also be responsible with keeping it clean and safe from possible contaminants.

An extra ounce of coolness from Sharp airconditioners THERE’S no stopping Sharp Corporation of Japan, represented here in the Philippines by Sharp (Philippines) Corporation, from introducing new products that will definitely touch the lives of many Filipinos with their discriminating needs for appliances to bring joy and delight to the home of today. One such product range is Sharp’s line of impressive split type and window type airconditioners that offer better cooling efficiency inside the room (or even the entire house) compared to other airconditioner brands of today, a true welcome treat considering the type of climate we have in the Philippines. For the Inverter SplitType airconditioners, which currently has 4 models, these outstanding airconditioners come with a 7th generation Plasmacluster Ion Technology, Sharp’s innovative and pioneering air purifying technology that has a technologically-advanced airflow filtration system to help ensure cleaner and fresher air. It works by generating an electrical discharge to create
positive and negative ions as they are released into the air. These ions then attach themselves to bacteria and viruses and instantly form highly oxidizing radicals which draw out hydrogen from the bacteria and then breaks down the protein’s membrane to make it inactive. Then the hydrogen and oxygen radicals combine with hydrogen to return to the atmosphere as a harmless substance. Aside from that, the ions neutralize static electricity to prevent dust, pollen and other air contaminants from clinging to walls and fabrics so that they can be easily collected and filtered to effectively remove dust, pollen, bacteria and odors, thus making people with allergic reactions to these air contaminants breathe freely and easily. The AH-XP26MF (2.5HP) and t he AHXP20MF (2.0HP) also come with a super jet stream for better cooling no matter where you are in the room, and cools the room 30% faster than split-type airconditioners in the market today. Its gentle cooling gives
a soothing coldness to the room, which is best for babies and even elders. This powerful jet stream feature is also available in Sharp’s split-type Inverter models like the AH-XP14MF, AH-XP11MF, AH-XP13LF and even the non-Inverter models such as the AHAP24LMF, AH-AP18LMF, and the AH-AP12LMF. Sharp’s window-type airconditioners are also as efficient and effective like the split-type range, starting with the AF-A1500CR airconditioner that comes in at 1.5 horsepower, with a Power Off memory, Remote Control, a Top Discharge feature, and a 9.1 Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) for better cooling and more efficient power consumption. It is also available in AF-A1500CM which is a mechanical control. Other models are the AF1000CR and AF-A1000CM, with slightly higher EER of 9.8 and with 1.0HP while the AF-G501/502 is at 0.5HP but with the same EER as the AF-A1500CR with 9.1. For more details about Sharp’s outstanding line of airconditioners, visit www. sharp.ph.

Crystal Clear sees how important it is to influence the younger generation and how it is more important for them, being the inheritors of the future world, to save this valuable resource. It is already common knowledge that water is one very important element for
life in this world to survive. About 2/3 of an average person’s body weight is made up of water and it is only logical that the body can go on without food for a long time but would only last no longer than 3 days without water. It is important for the human body because water is used in many of our bodily functions, not to mention its equally vital role in sanitation. Yet it has been a hard task to educate some, if not most people, regarding water’s importance and the need to conserve it. But Crys2-O, Crystal Clear’s new hope in getting its message of concern and intent to save water, is definitely up for the challenge. Crys2-O believes that there are many ways to conserve water and all of it starts with one’s self. There could be hundreds, or even more, ways to conserve water, but WATER/PAGE 7

Huwag nang ipagpabukas pa SA tuwing papalya ang ating sasakyan kapag tayo ay nasa harap ng manibela—o dili kaya ay nag-overheat ang makina—sumasabay ba ang pag-init ng ating mga ulo? Ayon sa salaysay ng karamihan, sumasabay ang pag-init ng ulo sa ‘ di inaasahang pag-init ng makina, lalo na’t ang isang motorista ay naipit sa matinding daloy ng trapiko na halos arawaraw ay nangyayari sa mga lansangan sa Kamaynilaan. At ito ang nais bigyanglunas ng Roberts Automotive and Industrial Parts Manufacturing Corporation (Roberts AIPMC), ang pangunahing gumagawa ng automotive at industrial radiator na kung tawagin ay “Evercool.” Mula sa Roberts AIPMC nagmumula ang mataas na kalidad at world-class na produktong radiator na tinatangkilik hindi lang ng mga pangunahing kumpanya o tinatawag na “Original Equipment Manufacturer” (OEM) tulad ng Mitsubishi
Motors Philippines, Isuzu Philippines, Columbian Motors, Pilipinas Hino at Suzuki, kundi pati na ang mga karaniwang motorista. Ang namumukod-tanging katangian ng Evercool ay ang tiyak na hindi pagpalya nito, maging sa ilalim ng tirik na tirik na araw ‘o sa nakakagalit na matinding daloy ng trapiko. Ito ang tanging nasa isip ng Roberts AIPMC sa produkto nitong Evercool— kung ang inyong sasakyan ay nananatiling malamig, tiyak
na ang ating mga pag-iisip ay mananatili ring malamig. Taong 1993 nang unang inilabas ng Roberts AIPMC ang Evercool radiator at mula noon hanggang ngayon ay nanguguna pa rin ito sa listahan ng mga bukodtanging produktong radiator sa Pilipinas na pinapaboran ng mga mekaniko at may-ari ng mga sasakyan, pribado man o pampubliko. Sa katunayan, maging mga banyagang bihasa sa mga sasakyan ay namangha sa HUWAG/PAGE 7
