Tabu-an Illongo Heritage Breakfast at the Iloilo Central Market Story by: MIKE BAÑOS | Photos by: FROILAN GALLARDO

A

s the penultimate event to our recent tour of Iloilo facilitated by the Department of Tourism Western Visayas and Cebu Pacific Air, the Tabu-an Ilonggo Heritage Meal is the brainchild of Chef Rafael “Tibong” Jardeleza II and had its genesis last November 2011 with the 1st Western Visayas Ilonggo Heritage Competition and Food Fair held at Esca’s.

“Tabu-an is Hiligaynon for Meeting Place,” explained our host Atty.

Helen J. Catalbas, OICRegional Tourism Director for Western Visayas.

“Besides a culinary event, it is also a cultural and herit age event which seeks to promote the Ilonggo tradition of having your meal at the market

to meet you friends and catch up on the latest news around town.”

It’s interesting to note there’s a very similar tradition in Cagayan de Oro where the locals have their snacks or meals at the Painitan (snacks section) of the Cogon Market. Somehow, the latest piece of gossip seems juicier in the company of friends and piping-hot tsokolate which, like the Ilonggos local kape, were also served in a “take-out” tin can. Hopefully, the Heritage Conservation Advocates of Elson Elizaga and Nono Montalvan can also do something similar to Chef Tibong’s Tabu-an to preserve this vanishing tradition.

A similar tradition also still persists at the paini-

tan of the Dumaguete public market where the re sident s enjoy eac h other’s company along with bud-bod (the local version of suman) or puto maya, sweet mangoes and tsokolate but mostly for breakfast only.

To experience a Tabuan, you need to bring together a minimum of 10 friends and give Chef Tibong at least three days notice. Our party included five travel writers (moi, Froilan Gallardo, Ed Montalvan, Orwin Austria and Butch Enerio) from Cagayan de Oro and our “caregivers” from DOT-VI led by Atty. Catalbas with Ping Jimenea and Pam Cababasay and “escorts” from JG Summit Holdings and Cebu Pacific MP Pestano, Len Balmonte

and Selrahco Management and Consultancy Service Charles Lim and Precious Heradura. I understand the menu would vary from day to day since Chef Tibong would serve what is available as the ‘fresh catch of the day’.

Chef Tibong presents all these with a bevy of banana leafs which make the yummy dishes stand out and somehow make them look more mouthwatering. To properly enjoy your heritage meal the traditional “kinamot” way, he advises it’s best to select with your left hand and feed with your right.

THE CELEBRANT. Vering Neri

(R.S.V.P.)

by Nena Neri Hernandez

LVIRA UDENA ERI had been looking forward to her 86th birthday not because she wanted to be a year older but because her two girls, SUSETTE and CARMI, promised to be home with her on her special day.

CARMI who’s married to ART PANLILLO, lives in the U.S, while SUSETTE , who’s married to Gen. RODRIGO MACLANG (retired) is living in Manila. So, a day before VERING’s birthday, they fulfilled their promise.

With brothers ANTONIO and MANUEL, they hurriedly cooked up a luncheon birthday party for their mother at a swanky hotel. Lucky for them they got a reservation., or did they book it by remote control?

The lunch was very yummy, with cakes and pastries that ruined my diet. Most of the guests were her relatives and classmates, barkadas and friends of the children and grandchildren.

The program was impromptu, with all the grandchildren giving a special number for LOLA VERING. Sis in law, this writer, was requested to sing and knowing my late brother's favorite song “All The Things You Are” I sang it.

What I did not know was that my song would make the celebrant cry, also her good friend and classmate LINDA LOPEZ VELEZ, because they both had the same theme song !

AIDA TAMPARONG was laughing so I focused my eyes on her....LEONOR SANTIAGO and DITAS DELA FUENTE looked so amused ...that did it! I finished my song .That's how senior citizens enjoy a celebration. Laughter and tears!

Tattoo continues to rule PH broadband market Superior performance, value for money plans, exclusive perks TAT TO O, the flagship broadband brand of Globe Telecom, continues to dominate the Philippine market, making it the undisputed Number One broadband.

This is reflected in the consistent annual double-digit growth of its subscriber base and service revenues for the past five years.

From 2007 to 2011, Tattoo, which carries the consumer broadband business of Globe, has grown by an average of 99% per year in number of subscribers, and 82% per year in service revenues, surpassing the comparable average growth rates of its nearest competitor for the same period. The figures are referenced from company disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the period 2007-2011.

The broadband business

of Globe has likewise posted 22 consecutive quarters of solid growth with an average quarterly growth rate of 17% for both subscriber base and service revenues.

“The powerful imagery, compelling offers and superior performance have resonated well with consumers. Tattoo has proven itself as the broadband with the superior performance compared to its competitors in speed, reliability and value-for-money plans,” says Nikko Acosta, Consumer Broadband Business Head of Globe Telecom, “With the network upgrades of Globe in progressive rollout, you can bet that Tattoo will become the brand of choice for the best internet experience.”

The Wealthy Poor THINK a minute…

Imagine this rich, successful young man. He’s well educated and owns a big, beautiful house. He lives and travels first class! Yet even with all his success he still goes to church and is a humble, good person. Of course, he’s not perfect. But he’s definitely no murderer. Adultery? Nothing any red-blooded boy wouldn’t do once in a while. Stealing? Only a little cheating like everyone else does to survive. Honors his father and mother? Definitely.

He sends money home all the time.

Sounds like a good person doesn’t he? But do you know what Jesus Christ said to a young man like the one we just talked about? Jesus saw right through this nice, church-going young man.

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst Jesus knew that this man really loved his good life and religious reputation more than he loved Jesus.

Yet this man thought he was a Christian and right with God just because he went to church, and was kind to other people. But Jesus said he’s not even close! Harsh words, aren’t they?

Jesus taught that there is absolutely nothing that any person can do, whether it’s going to church or giving money to the poor, that is

good enough to reach God’s standard of perfect goodness from the heart. You see, if God can forgive and accept me into heaven just because I’m a good person, then Jesus was either a crazy lunatic, or a liar! Because Jesus Himself said that He, God the Son, He had to die and give His own perfect life to pay the penalty for all our wrongs, so He could forgive us and make us His children.

So friend, just going to church cannot save you and

me. Giving money to the poor cannot earn us God’s gift of forgiveness and new life. There is nothing or no one in this world who can make us good enough and acceptable to our perfect Creator…only God the Son Himself. Jesus alone can forgive and save you and me from judgment and hell forever for living our own way, even if we’re religious.

That’s why Jesus is our only hope! But after we’ve asked Him to forgive us and take full charge of our life in a daily personal relationship. It’s then because He’s already forgiven and saved us, we’ll only want to spend the rest of our life growing and learning in His family, the church, how to live His right successful way every day. Just Think a Minute…

PH as a retirement haven OPENING our country to foreign retirees is a unique concept to invite senior investors to enhance their sense of dignity, usefulness and self respect while promoting their health and wellness. Executive Order No. 1037 which was signed by the former late President Ferdinand E. Marcos on July 4, 1985, created the Philippine Retirement Authority or (PRA) under the Office of the President.

It was transferred to the Board of Investments (BOI) on August 31, 2001 by then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

The Philippine Retirement Authority provides a range of services to help foreign and Filipino overseas retirees who have spend their time working and living abroad to settle comfortably in the Philippines. It is a come on tourism product that promotes the autonomy of senior citizens express

Retirement homes for senior citizens may not necessarily be in the enclaves of the rich or in the exclusive subdivisions of the major cities.

In our country, eco-tourism destinations are good locations for retirement villages and could be a magnet for other investments for modern clinics or hospitals. With

Retirement homes in the Americas are not what it used to be with senior citizens left to the care at the home of the ages by nurses and health workers. Retirement funds are drying with their

Senior citizens are increasing and the government services are constantly declining.

JBC row may justify SC justices’ ouster LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… maintain justice in the courts…” (Amos 5:15, the Holy Bible).

-oooVINDICATION ON JBC MEMBERSHIP: I thank God, in the name of Jesus, that former Solicitor General Francisco Chavez is filing a petition to question the constitutionality of a Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) which includes two representatives from Congress---one from the House of Representatives and one from the Senate--considering the provision of the 1987 Constitution which says only “a representative from Congress” must sit at the JBC.

Come to think of it, however, this JBC controversy may yet provide President

RDFS farmers: Protecting the Earth through Organic Rice

By BONG FABE, Correspondent

(Last of a Series) (This story was produced under the Climate Change: A Reporting Lens from Asia/IPS Asia-Pacific) Abundant harvest, low production cost THE IRDFS is also now being aggressively implemented all over the province of Zamboanga del Sur through the efforts of Governor Antonio Cerilles and Rep. Aurora Cerilles. The Cerilles couple are positioning the province to be the organic agriculture and IRDFS centre of the Philippines and Asia because they strongly believe that “organic farming is one of the ways we can help our farmers improve their lives.” Provincial Agriculturist Marilyn Bersales is working double time to make the Cerilles’ couple’s vision a reality. “We have accepted the challenge in order to change the lives of our farmers,” Gov. Cerilles said.

Bersales is targeting to have at least 2.5% of Zamboanga del Sur’s 69,623 hectares of rice fields into IRDFS paddies, enough to make it as the IRDFS centre of the Philippines, In 2011, Zamboanga del Sur produced 296,736 MT of rice, a surplus of more than 16,000 MT over its target of 280,000 MT or an increase of 7,982 MT over the 2010 record of 288,754 MT. Gov. Cerilles and Bersales attributed this to the IRDFS. “If one hectare will have an average rice production of about 4.2 MT, it will be enough to make the Philippines rice sufficient by 2013,” said the Department of Agriculture. Zamboanga del Sur has attained this average yield per hectare as early as 2010 when the IRDFS system was officially adopted by the province, raising a hectare’s annual rice yield by as much as 10% to 15%.

The DA said that the typical Filipino rice farmer “is only 40% efficient” with only 25% of this number able to attain a harvest of 4 MT per hectare. “Seventyfive of every 100 farmers produce less than four tonnes per hectare owing to their inability to benefit from high-yielding technologies arising from high costs of production (farming inputs) relative to profitability, uncertainties in production (insect pests, diseases, typhoons, drought), low or fluctuating prices of rice, and inaccessible credit facilities,” the DA said. But Agriculture Sec. Proseso Alcala is bent on making the Philippines a rice-sufficient country by 2013.

Under the 2011-16 Rice Self-Sufficiency Plan, the Philippines is targeting to produce 19.2 MMT in 2012, 21.12 MMT in 2013, 21.76 MMT in 2014, 22.41 MMT in 2015 and 23.08 MMT in 2016. This, compared to the projected rice requirements of 20.9 MMT in 2012, 21.11 MMT in 2013, 21.56 MMT in 2014, 22.02 MMT in 2015 and 22.49 MMT in 2016. While there is still no government policy about the IRDFS, the DA is fully supporting it as one of the ways to attain its target. With DA’s support, IRDFS farmers and advocates are optimistic the country can reclaim its top position as the world’s rice granary, especially since an IRDFS farmer was able to produce 9 MT of rice from his hectare of paddy in Maramag, Bukidnon. “If all 2.7 million hectares of rice paddies in the Philippines each yield 9 MT, the Philippines will be a major exporter of rice,” said Alexander Manguera, 47, of Purok 8, Barangay Base Camp, Maramag, Bukidnon. Manguera harvested 9.6 MT of rice in one cropping season in the middle of 2011. His harvest is the biggest, so far, in the history of the IRDFS in the Philippines, surpassing the average yield of 7.3 MT of the one-hectare farm of Rodi Dongallo in Lagonglong, Misamis Oriental. The average conventional rice harvest per hectare in the Philippines is only 3.7 MT (or 74 bags of 50 kilos each), according to the DA. But Manguera’s harvest was 9.6 MT (at 160 sacks of 60 kilos each).

Hundreds of ducks released in the ricefield provide direct organic fertilizer application from their manure mixed with the water and soil during swimming and paddling activities. This will provide regular nutrient requirements needed by rice plants to produce higher yield. Felipa Pontillas, a retired employee of the Bureau of Internal Revenue in Gingoog City and a pioneer IRDFS practitioner, attested to the effectiveness of using the system, harvesting 5.5 MT from her one-hectare farm during her second cropping and earning a net profit of PhP23,000 from the sale of the rice. Pontillas’ bumper crop using the IRDFS is a far cry from the 2.3 MT using conventional, chemical-laced farming a year ago.

In the IRDFS, the ideal ratio of ducks to rice paddy is 150 ducks to every hectare.

In Dumingag, Zamboanga del Sur, Mayor Nacianceno Pacalioga Jr. has surmounted his constituents’ resistance in shifting to IRDFS after seeing his bounty harvest compared to chemical-laced and labour-intensive conventional rice farming. Dumingag is a third-class land-locked municipality composed of 44 barangays, 90 percent of whose residents (46,039 individuals or 8,017 households) rely solely on farming for their livelihood. The town’s economy is purely agriculture-driven. But because of the use of chemicals in producing rice, rice paddies in Dumingag are no longer fertile that farmers have to spend more on chemical inputs to have a bountiful harvest of rice, the sale of which are not even enough to pay off their debts incurred in getting the needed farm inputs. Adding to the burden of the farmers is the prevalent system that forever ties them to the traders. “If that system continues, farmers’ livelihood will continue to deteriorate,” he said, adding that “sustainable agriculture such as the IRDFS is the solution that would free farmers from annual bondage of slavery from capitalist traders.”

Using sustainable agriculture as his centrepiece program, however, was not easy, because of the resistance of farmers who were already ensconced in the kind of easy life chemical-based inorganic farming seemed to give. “When we started, it was really difficult for farmers because it was easy for them to continue inorganic farming because they only have to buy chemicals. There were also those who spread negative stories about organic farming,” he said.

But later, farmers saw the fruit of Pacalioga’s persistence and advocacy that they have realized that they have been enslaved by chemicals that they can no longer produce rice without it. “Our people here have now realized that our land have been so degraded because of the years of practicing inorganic farming and using chemicals. They have realized the need to rehabilitate our farm lands so that future generations of farmers will still be able to produce food for our people,” he said.

Pacalioga said that among his central goals for his sustainable agriculture program are bringing back the natural fertility of the farms and putting premium on achieving soil health. He said that the IRDFS bolster the natural fertilization of the paddies. Ducks nourish the paddies with their manure, kill pests, pluck the weeds, and help aerate the soil. Ducks also serve as additional sources of healthy protein food for farmer families. When he introduced the system in 2007, there were only 20 adherents. But this grew to 500 in 2011, with the land organically farmed expanded ten-fold to some 1,000 hectares.

Rice farmers as environment protectors: The IRDFS, developed by Japanese organic farmer Takao Furuno in 1989, is now regarded as the future of rice farming, “The system is based on agro-ecological principles and biological synergies that require less input but yield the highest production of rice per hectare,” Furuno said during the 6th International Rice-Ducks Conference at the San Carlos University-Talamban Campus in Cebu City, Philippines in 2009.

Department of Agrarian Reform Undersecretary for Special Programs Rosalina Bistoyong attested to the effectiveness of IRDFS in lowering production cost, improving yield and protecting the environment. “The rice-ducks farming is a welcome innovation in these hard times. Not only is it ecological or environmentally-friendly, the use of the technology will lessen the cost of production for our farmers because they will not be spending as much money buying expensive pesticides and fertilizers. The lesser the expense for production, the more money that will be freed up to finance their other needs, especially their need for food, education and health services. Moreover, IRDFS provides additional income due to its integrated farming technique. The ducks and (small-scale) fishery component shall provide additional income. It will also involve more family members in the enterprise, thus provides employment,”

DepEd prioritizes bamboo tree planting

By RUTCHIE C. AGUHOB

OROQUIETA City - The Department of Education (DepEd) has directed regional school officials to prioritize bamboo planting in their areas of responsibility.

Education Secretar y Armin Luistro, in DepEd Memorandum No. 102 on June 18, made as basis for such issuance, Memorandum Circular No. 30, series of 2012, from the Office of the President entitled “Directing the Full Implementation of the Philippine Bamboo Industry Development (PBID) Program.”

Signed by Executive Secretary Paquito N. Ochoa Jr., MC 30, dated May 30, 2012, has enjoined all departments, agencies and instrumentalities of the national government, state universities and colleges (SUCs), government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) and local government units (LGUs) to support the full imple-

mentation of the PBID Program.

The PBID was made a priority program of the government under Executive Order (EO) No. 879, s. of 2010, which also created the PBID Council that provide the overall policy and direction of the PBID

Program.

Chaired by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the PBID Council is composed of the DepEd, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Science and

Technology (DOST), Department of Labor and E mpl oy m e nt ( D OL E ) , League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP) and representatives from non-government organizations and Private Industry Associations (PIA). (PIA10 Mis. Occ./asf)

Environmental Science ENVIRONMENTAL science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical and biological sciences, (including but not limited to Ecology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Soil Science, Geology, Atmospheric Science and Geography) to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems.

Environmental science provides an integrated, quantitative, and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental systems.[1] Related areas of study include environmental studies and environmental engineering.

Environmental studies incorporates more of the social sciences for understanding human relationships, perceptions and policies towards the environment.

Environmental engineer-

ing focuses on design and technology for improving environmental quality.

Environmental scientists work on subjects like the understanding of earth processes, evaluating alternative energy systems, pollution control and mitigation, natural resource management, and the effects of global climate change.

Environmental issues almost always include an interaction of physical, chemical, and biological

processes.

Enironmental scientists bring a systems approach to the analysis of environmental problems.

Key elements of an effective environmental scientist include the ability to relate space, and time relationships as well as quantitative analysis.

Environmental science came alive as a substantive, active field of scientific investigation in the 1960s and 1970s driven by (a) the need

for a multi-disciplinary approach to analyze complex environmental problems, (b) the arrival of substantive environmental laws requiring specific environmental protocols of investigation and (c) the growing public awareness of a need for action in addressing environmental problems.

Events that spurred this development included the publication of Rachael Carson’s landmark environmental book Silent Spring[2] along with major environmental issues becoming ver y public, such as the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill, and the Cuyahoga River of Cleveland, Ohio, “catching fire” (also in 1969), and helped increase the visibility of environmental issues and create this new field of study.

kag patola (Dalagang bukid with moringa and sponge gourd) which must be Chef

Tibong’s twist of the venerable sinigang.

For appetizers we had a choice of ginisang bihod (fish roe) with sliced tomatoes, onions and salted eggs or Lato and Dilis. Lato was frequent item in our house in Zamboanga where I spent my growing years and we usually ate it with calamansi.

Next up were two Jardeleza heirloom recipes by Chef Tibong’s Lola Esca: home-made pork and beans with chorizo bilbao, and chorizo ricados.

On top of those we also had embotido, tapa, binate nga native nga itlog(native chicken scrambled eggs) And for that taste of the exotic worthy of Andrew Zimmer’s Bizarre Foods:crispy adobo nga Maya (yup, the former national bird), Parong sang Manok (fried cock’s comb!), and for the piece de resistance, Obre or cow’s teats cooked in soy sauce and garlic best described as tasty chewing gum.

Toss in the Tabuan’s signature “Fresh Catch of the Day” from the sea: Jumping shrimps (they were still jumping when cooked!), Sinugba nga scallops (barbecued scallops) and adobong tabagak with garlic sauce (reminds me of the renowned sardinas of Dipolog).

Then enhance all that with either Kamusos nga may kalag (red rice with dilis), Sinanlang nga kan-on may ajos kag sibuyas (fried rice with onions and garlic), pan de sal ni Pa-a or Manapla puto.

Of course, all these taste better washed down with the ubiquitous sinamak,the Illonggo version of Iligan’s famous spicy Pinakurat vinegar.

The next time you’re in Iloilo and want to enjoy an authentic Ilonggo heritage meal,

just contact Chef Tibong Jardeleza directly through his mobile #0917-620-6800 or PM him through his Facebook Page Tab-uan. He’s easy to talk to and can put together the best menu for your budget.

reconverted back to dollars and be taken out from the country if the retiree chooses to return their countries.

Stretching the value of the dollars while living in the Philippines is a good budgeting option among those who would like to come home.

Enjoying their children’s visit with the grandchild is better and more fun and exciting.

Corporate business has to look at the future and consider new programs and innovations to develop more retirement homes and villages in the country. Company visions can involve retirees residing to participate in making activities and care planning promoting their longetivity in living.

DMCI Homes is succeeding in Boracay. Orchards Residences in Manolo Fortich is one good location and maybe the Puerto Heights of the Pryce Corporation along the Sayre Hi-way could be financially rehabilitated for retiree’s villages?

from Congress is to sit at the JBC, no more, no less. Any deviation from this Constitutional provision, as what is happening now, would

render the JBC composition violative of the Constitution.

With a composition that violates the Constitution, anything that the JBC did, is doing, or will do, would be unconstitutional. And since everything that an illegal and unconstitutional JBC had done, is doing, or will do, would be violative of the Constitution, any and all of the recommendations or nominations it earlier submitted to the President, while two congressional representatives were sitting as its members, would likewise be null and void.

-oooALL APPOINTMENTS TO THE JUDICIARY WITH AN ILLEGAL JBC ARE NULL AND VOID: When did this “phenomenon” start to happen---I mean, when did the JBC start having two representatives of Congress sitting together? Reports are saying it started in 2001, when Hilario Davide was the Chief Justice.

Quite clearly, therefore, all appointments to the Supreme Court, and even in the entire judicial branch of government, which passed through the screening of the illegally-constituted JBC, from 2001 up to now, are all null and void.

With a null and void appointment, the only honorable way for all Supreme Court justices and other members of the judicial branch affected by this Constitutional infirmity is to resign and give up their positions. That would be upholding the rule of law, first and foremost, which is something that all of them swore to, anyway.

she said.

IRDFS and other organic farmers are not just mere “organic farmers” feeding the world. They are also caretakers and protectors of the earth. South Korean organic agriculture practitioner and advocate Ju Jeong San said during the 6th International Rice-Ducks Conference that the image of organic farmers as simply producers of organic rice is already past. “The current image of organic farming simply as a means of producing organic rice for the consumer will be extended to include the purpose of also environmentally-protecting the various life forms that live in the rice fields. Farmers will no longer be simply workers that grow rice, but also become caretakers of a diverse ecosystem,” he said, adding that the IRDFS is a method or system of organic farming.

In the IRDFS, ducklings help the rice seedlings grow by eating both insects and weeds that get in the way.

The farmer can then grow the rice without using pesticide or herbicide or any chemical that will kill the ducks.

He or she is also free from the back-

breaking work of bending over to pull weeds by hand. The ducklings’ droppings become an important source of natural fertilizer. In addition, they stir up the soil in the rice paddy with their feet and bills, a process that increases the oxygen content of the soil, making it more nutritious for the seedlings. And when it comes time to harvest the rice, the ducks have grown fat and can be sold for meat. By allowing farmers to grow crops organically and also raise ducks to sell as meat, the IRDFS really does “kill two birds with one stone.”

This system is beneficial from a cost standpoint in that farmers will no longer have to purchase expensive chemical fertilizers or pesticides. And they also earn extra from the sale of duck meat or eggs or balut. As proven by actual and scientific studies, the IRDFS benefits everyone as it addresses climate change, the environment, health and rice self-sufficiency.

The International Foundation for Organic Agriculture (IFOAM) said that organic agriculture “is fundamental for guaranteeing generations to come with a healthy, fair, correct environment for harmonious living that respects people and the earth.”
