BUKIDNON––A week after former Senator Migz Zubiri warned of “catastrophic brownouts” in Mindanao, the island’s power shortage has worsened.

Zubiri said Mindanao’s power deficit has deteriorated to 10 percent of peak system demand, versus only five percent a week ago.

“This implies that the previous two-to four-hour daily brownouts in many parts of Mindanao have started to worsen to four-to

six-hour outages,” he said.

As of March 2, Mindanao’s gross power deficit stood at 124 megawatts (MWs), with peak system demand of 1,244 MWs and available generating capacity of only 1,120 MWs, according to an update from the National Grid Corp.

The previous Friday, February 24, the island’s power deficiency stood at only 67 MWs. “We are appealing to the Department of Energy to find ways to avert the further deterioration of Mindanao’s already harsh power deficit,” Zubiri said.

Even if government manages to temporarily plug Mindanao’s 124-MW shortfall, Zubiri said the island still faces the risk of POWER/PAGE 7

By MANUEL M. EGAY JR, Correspondent

BUTUAN City––Top officials from two provinces in Caraga region met for the third time at a convetion center here apparently to resolve the boundary conflict between the two towns.

Representatives from both provinces of Agusan del Sur and Surigao del Sur have created a joint panel composed of two lawmakers from each provinces, the mayors of the two quareling towns, barangay officials, and four representatives from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

In his resolution, Jardin especifically called on the chairpersons of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan committees on ways and means and finance to investigate why Pilipinas Kao, Inc. failed to pay its obligation.

He pointed out that delinquent taxes are “very important in the socio economic progress of the municipality of Jasaan as well as the province of Misamis Oriental.”

Robbers pooh-pooh Duterte’s warning DAVAO City––Unidentified robbers burglarized two residences located in a posh subdivision in Davao City and carted away cash and valuables amounting to P3-million pesos hours after Vice Mayor Rodrigo Duterte issued a stern warning against robbers and thieves here.

The first incident happened around 12:15 p.m. on March 4, at No. 316 Malindang corner Salam Street, Central Park Subdivision in Bangkal, this city.

Police records showed that the robbers forcibly opened the back door to gain entry in the house owned by Benjamin Amil Remoquillo, 76.

Police said Remoquillo was robbed of his Mac Air Book laptop worth US$ 1,800, I-pad worth US$ 700, bracelet worth US$ 1,800, ring worth US$ 1,800 and earrings worth US$ 800.

Also on March 4, robbers barged into the residence of Leo Vergara Briones, 66, a businessman, located at No. 155 Iba Road, Central Park Subdivision Phase 2 in Bangkal, Davao City. The robbers carted away more than P1.2 million worth of cash, jewelries and other valuables.

The incident happened hours after Duterte warned robbers and thieves to stay away of the city otherwise authorities will dealt with them. CD with wire report

Oriental, since 1972.

Jardin said the company has been “religiously paying the provincial imposition on real property taxes’” but that this “dutiful stance” has “faded and indeed ended beginning the year 2002 up to the present.”

He said the non-payment was based on the ground of local tax exemption under the Philippine Economic Zones Authority (PEZA) Law. However, Jardin said the local government unit of

Jasaan exerted tax collection efforts and that it has “established non-compliance

by Pilpinas Kao to Section 206 of R.A. 7160.

This section states that for the proof of exemption of real property from taxation “every person or for whom real property is declared, who shall claim tax exemption for such property shall file with the Provincial, Municipal Assessor within 30 days from the date of the declaration of real property.”

On this basis, Jasaan filed an administrative complaint for tax collection against the company which lead to issuance of a warrant of distraint to collect the “delinquent taxes from Pilipinas Kao.” In the resolution, Jardin said the “blatant disregard of Pilipinas Kao to the provincial imposition has TROUBLE/PAGE 7

Open-burning of wastes speeds up climate change

By PAT SAMONTE, Regional Editor-Caraga

BUTUAN City––Environmental Management Bureau director Juan Miguel Cuna revealed the dangers posed by disposal of wastes through open-burning or “siga” citing it as source of emissions-driving and speeding up climate change, polluting the air and jeopardizing people’s health.

Cuna said the dangers become more pronounced if plastics were among those disposed of by way of openburning.

Cuna made the statement as he express ed EMB’s openness to new

environment-friendly waste disposal technologies that can be alternatives to openburning.

“We are open to technologies that are not banned under the law and which comply with government’s emission standards”, he said.

Among open-burning emissions, experts cite carbon dioxide (CO2) as one of the climate change-driving greenhouse gases. Government has continuously promoted reforestation noting trees help absorb CO2 in the atmosphere.

Experts also said emis-

sions from open burning pollute the air and compromise people’s health once inhaled.

The Depar tment of Health presented during an air summit in MetroManila data that dirty air was among causes of sickness and death nationwide.

It said air pollution is an economic burden with its health impact reaching almost P1 billion annually.

Cuna urged local governments nationwide to immediately employ other waste-disposal alternatives saying that open-burning was dangerous.

THE 45-year-old Lady Canonigo used to stay at home doing the household chores while her husband is working. But times have change, prompting Lady Canonigo to find work to help her husband in feeding their four children.

With the unstable income of her husband who works as a contractual driver, Canonigo decided to earn an income selling fish in Barangay Tangke, Talisay City.

Now, through the combined hard work of Canonigo and her husband, two of their four children will receive their college diploma this month.

“If I stayed in the house, doing laundry and cleaning, I don’t think my children would have finished their studies,” she said in Cebuano.

Cagayan de Oro plant of Nestlé Philippines

Nearly a hundred years after it first started operations in the country, Nestlé Philippines, Inc. (NPI) today is a robust and stable organization, proud of its role in bringing the best food and beverage throughout the stages of the Filipino consumers’ lives. The Company employs more than 3,200 men and women all over the country. It is now among the top companies in the entire Nestlé world, and is among the country’s Top 10 Corporations. Its products are No. 1 or strong No. 2 brands in their respective categories.

Nestlé Philippines, Inc., A Short History The Early Years. Although Nestlé products were already available in the Philippines as far back as 1895, it was not until 1911 when The Nestlé and Anglo Swiss Condensed Milk Company was established in the country, with its first sales office in Calle Renta, Binondo.

The Company was forced to suspend its operations during World War II, but soon made a comeback after Liberation, under a new name: Filipro, Inc. It continued to import products such as MILO, NIDO powder milk, MILKMAID and NESCAFÉ from other countries. In the early 1950’s, Filipro encountered difficulties when the Philippine government imposed import control. Due to lack of imported products to sell, it was forced to become a distributor of peanut butter, napkins, fruit preserves, and patis (fish sauce) just to keep its operations going.

Local Production. In 1960, Nestlé S.A.and San Miguel Corporation entered into a partnership resulting in the formation of Nutritional Products, Inc. (Nutripro). In 1962, Nutripro’s first factory started operations in Alabang, Muntinlupa to manufacture NESCAFÉ. In 1977, Filipro, Inc. and Nutripro Inc. merged under the name Filipro, Inc. In 1986, Filipro, Inc. changed to its present name as Nestlé Philippines, Inc. Nestle now has manufacturing facilities in Cabuyao (Laguna), Cagayan de Oro, Lipa (Batangas), and Pulilan (Bulacan) to meet the growing demand for Nestlé products in the country.

Soon to rise is another factory in Tanauan, Batangas.

Growth and Diversification. In 1991, Nestlé pioneered the AIJV (ASEAN Industrial Joint Venture), a regional complementation program. The Company participated in this program with the production of breakfast cereals at the Nestlé Lipa Factory, for export to ASEAN markets.

Today, three of the Nestle factories in the Philippines – Lipa, Cabuyao, and Cagayan de Oro -- serve as ASEAN Supply Centers to meet the requirements of Nestle markets in the region.

In late 1998, Nestlé Philippines became a wholly owned subsidiary of Nestlé S.A., following the latter’s purchase of all of San Miguel Corporation’s equity shareholding in the Company.

Driven by its mission to nurture generations of Filipino families, Nestlé today produces and markets products under some of the country’s well known brands such as NESCAFÉ, NIDO, MILO, NESTEA, MAGGI, BEAR BRAND, NESTLÉ, and PURINA, among others. Its product range has expanded to include coffee, milk, beverages, non-dairy creamer, food, infant nutrition, ice cream and chilled dairy, breakfast cereals, confectionery, and pet-care.

Creating Shared Value has always been the core of who we are at Nestlé.

Creating Shared Value played an integral role at the inception of our company. Influenced by the high infant mortality rate in mid 19th century Switzerland, our founder, Henri Nestlé, developed the first cereal milk. His invention enabled him to save the life of his neighbor’s child.

From that single product, he founded what was to become the largest food and beverage company in the world.

Today, more than 140 years later, Nestlé creates value through its basic business activity not only for its shareholders but also for the societies in which it operates. We make long-term investments that benefit both our business and our public because we recognize the inherent interdependence of both.

We call this Creating Shared Value (CSV).

Creating Shared Value means making a positive impact upon the quality of life of the communities we serve; our employees and their families; and our suppliers while also giving value back to our shareholders. We Create Shared Value in three key areas: Nutrition, Water and Rural Development.

At Nestlé Philippines: • We strive to make nutritious foods and beverages more accessible and affordable to Filipinos while informing them about the importance of proper nutrition, health and wellness.

• We help coffee farmers improve their yields while providing barangays with livelihood skills and other opportunities.

• We reduce, reuse and recycle our resources, optimizing both water and energy usage in our factories. Nestlé Philippines is committed to constantly creating shared value among Filipinos through sustainable programs and in so doing to help nurture future generations of Filipino families as we have been doing for the last 99 years.

Honest love

Jibber Jabber with Ace Fredrian Xavier Busico

The nature of consciousness IT was a beautiful late Sunday afternoon when I met up with my friends at Maria Christina Gardens here in Iligan City. There were talks on politics, my life since they miss my company, and of course the typical adult conversation.

Part of our tête-à-tête was about the nature of consciousness whether or not something really exists. It was an intense conversation that is was provocative.

Like the playground facilities at the Maria Christina Gardens, is it really there or is it only there because we see it and if we vacate the place, will it disappear? Life is a matter of seeing what we need and want to see.

In life, there are many things that we recognize and fail to notice. These are usually memories, emotions, people and things. With regards to memories, there are some we suppress to make us move on but somehow, memories tend to haunt us if there would be something that would trigger it. It could be a memorable place, a perfume, a zodiac sign, or pictures. Emotions also come into consciousness the moment we feel them and see them through other people. We feel and see love, happiness, anger, sorrow and many others.

The nature of consciousness when it comes to people is very disturbing. Why? Because a person’s existence is only recognized the moment they are needed and if we are done with them, we would then develop selective amnesia. I am always a victim of this. People flock to

THINK a minute.

There’s a story about a man and woman who had been married for over 60 years.

They had shared and talked about almost everything. But the wife had kept a special box in her closet.

She had asked her husband never to open it or even ask her about it.

Then one day, the old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would never recover.

Her husband began to sort through all of his wife’s belongings.

When he found the box, he brought it to his wife’s bedside. She agreed that it was finally time he knew what was in the box.

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst Her husband opened it and found 2 little handkerchiefs and a stack of money totaling $25,000!

His wife explained: “When we were married, my grandmother told me that the secret of a happy marriage was to never disagree or argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you I should just keep quiet and sew a handkerchief.”

Licayan has retired as the City Council’s Secretary almost 10 years ago. Yet, as a priceless gem, he continued to serve the public to this day. No doubt, the city is privilege to have a public servant like Licayan.

Despite successes and a contented life, Licayan remains humble in his beginnings. Both Abbu and Licayan sport those familiar smiles and amiable gestures of public servants par excellence.

There are also young and promising legislatures at the City Council today. Vice Mayor Ian Acenas, the presiding chair of the City Council, displayed an assuming insight of a future leader.

There are two Ians’ at the city council. They are Ian Acenas and Ian Nacaya. Both Acenas and Nacaya matured as legislatures. These two gentlemen honed their legislative expertise at young age when they joined the city’s august body.

Ian Acenas completed his three-year term as member of the City Council before he ran and won the vice mayoral seat in the 2010 elections under Mayor Emano’s ticket. I knew Ian Acenas because of his mother ‘Selfa Acenas’ and Ian Nacaya as representative of the Sangguniang Kabataan before becoming a full fledge City Councilor.

Other members of the incumbent City Council today are still neophytes although some of them are in their second term. With malice to none, these city councilors have yet to prove their legislative mettles.

Honestly, unlike those city councilors I have mentioned, those I have not mentioned have nothing in my memories to speak for. They still need to prove themselves as legislatures and servants of the people.

Perhaps, I have to personally know them first. react: crisguardian@yahoo.com

In his first media interaction, Monday, Director Cañete said they now regularly hold flag-raising ceremonies and Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) meetings where heads of the eight DOLE-attached agencies are

given time to talk on respective month’s accomplishments and on programs for the succeeding month.

“This media interaction that we are doing right now is another innovation, which we shall be holding every quarter, except on December when we are giving awards to our tri-media partners,” he said.

Director Cañete also announced the full operationalization of the six provincial labor offices in Western Misamis Oriental, Eastern Misamis Orien-

tal, Camiguin, Bukidnon, Misamis Occidental and Lanao Norte.

“I didn’t know if these were already here before, but

we just felt they are needed because this is how we will be able to respond to the mandate of our Secretary,” he stated.

He further said, DOLE10 is intently eyeing at making all programs more competitive, and at becoming convergent in the delivery of service to every Filipino, while pursuing the gender dimensions and concern for environment.

Director Cañete took over the post last month from Regional Director Allan Macaraya, who is now assigned to National Capital Region (NCR).

ACUPUNCTURE is a form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been practiced for thousands of years.

It works by stimulating certain areas of the body by inserting fine needles into the skin.

The needles are manipulated manually or through electric therapy.

Sounds painful, but those who do receive acupuncture say it is surprisingly painless. (extracted from Lisa Fayed’s article in About. com Guide)

World-renowned lensman visits Camiguin to Capture images of women in micro-credit MAHINOG, Camiguin–– Pep Bonnet, a renowned international photojournalist visited Camiguin last February 8-9, 2012 to capture images of women in Micro Credit in Mantigue island in the municipality of Mahinog.

This was learned from Raymundo C. Agaton Jr. of the Philippine Rural Reconstr uc tion Movement (PRRM) Camiguin in a press release sent to Mahinog Trumpet.

Bonnet is from NOOR (an Arabic word meaning “light”), an international photo agency and foundation established in 2007 primarily to create and

distribute compelling photojournalistic works with the aim to raise awareness, enhance an understanding of the world and contribute to visual history of mankind.

The NOOR photo agency solicited the help of PRRM for its project “Women in Micro-Credit.”

PRRM is an NGO working in Camiguin for almost two decades now, with a mission to enhance the capacity of rural communities in the planning, advocacy and implementation of sustainable development, through an integrated program of education, livelihood, health,

habitat, environment, and self-governance.

According to Agaton, Bonnet chose the island of Mantigue in Mahinog, Camiguin to shoot images of women engaged in seaweeds production.

“The images of women engaging in fishing in Mantigue Island are very fascinating human interest story for this project,” Mr. Bonnet told Agaton during the visit.

Agaton said Bonnet’s exhibit of images will feature 10 countries including Philippines due for exhibition and possibly into a book by April of this year. “ This will portray microcredit as the most

women,” Empaces said in an interview with Pagtuki, the official radio program of RAFI aired every Saturday at 10-11 a.m. over dyLA. In celebration of Women’s Month in March, Pagtuki featured women entrepreneurs.

Empaces pointed out that stereotyping on the roles of women and men should not have a place in this generation.

“What we need is a place for acceptance of change.

We have not reached that level of total acceptance.

We are still in the stage of complete tolerance. There should be no concept like ‘lalaki dapat..., babaye dapat...’. The acceptance

second is Revelation 21:8.

Both of these verses say there is hell, and both say they are places of eternal fire for those who do not believe in God. Isaiah 66:24 says however that aside from being a place of fire, hell is at the same time a place of eternal worms.

On the other hand, there are verses that talk of fiery hell, right here on earth, when Jesus, our God and Savior, returns. One verse could be found at Malachi 4:1-2, while another one could be found at 2 Peter 3:10-11. Both of these verses say fire will consume the earth and everything in it, the sky, the sun and the stars, leaving out only those who died and live for Jesus.

should begin at home,” he said.

He said that what is nice with the Filipino culture is its openness to change in terms of gender development.

Canonigo admitted that her husband was reluctant in letting her open her business.

“Maybe it was his pride which made him reluctant, because he believes that a man should provide for his family. In the end, he agreed,” she recalled in Cebuano.

One factor that brought the shifting of role of women is the economic challenges in the society, said Empaces. The current economy demands that one breadwinner in the family isn’t enough, he added. the nine planets of our Sun’s solar system, causing huge gravitational pulls that, at the proper time when it has come really near the planet Earth and the Sun, would cause solar flares or solar storms to leap out of the Sun and reach even the Earth.

Do these solar flares and solar storms coming out of the Sun and reaching even the Earth represent the realization of the account of the end of world under 2 Peter 3:10-11? For those interested, here is what 2 Peter 3:10-11 says: “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire…”

Malachi 4:1-2, a book of the Old Testament, has something similar to say: “… `Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace.

All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,’ says the Lord Almighty. `Not a root or a branch will be left to them’…”

visible innovation in antipoverty policy where it has been successful in bringing formal financial services to the poor,” Agaton said.

For his part, Mahinog town mayor Alex R. Jajalla said since these images will be seen all over the world, this is a good opportunity to promote Mantigue island as among the alternative ecotourism destination in the region.

Mantigue island, branded as “Restoring Paradise” after local government developed the area as eco tourism destination since 2007, has now become a popular tourist attraction in the province of Camiguin. (PIO)

of prolonged brownouts owing to its lack of standby power, or gross reserves.

“We have a generating capacity deficit. We not only do not have enough power to meet peak daily requirements, we also do not have any extra supplies needed to kick in once a power plant conks out for any reason, or is shut down for preventive maintenance,” he said.

Zubiri earlier warned of crippling eight-hour daily brownouts in Mindanao when the weather heats up

by April, the island’s massive power deficit is fixed.

In a letter to Energy Secretary Jose Almendras, Zubiri had pushed for the provisional deployment of additional power barges to build up supply in affected areas.

He also sought the use of the P2-billion renewable energy trust fund to grant perks to entities willing to bring in new biomass, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and/or ocean power supplies, exclusively for Mindanao, in six to 18 months.

Zubiri is author of the Renewable Energy Law of 2008 and former chairman of the Senate committee on environment and natural resources.

The former senator from Bukidnon likewise batted for the energy sector’s retention in the Investment Priorities Plan of the Board of Investments, in order to draw in fresh capital needed to quickly grow Mindanao’s power supply.

higher; measures ensuring the safety of first responders and the residents evacuated; designated waiting area for government vehicles that will transport residents to evacuation centers; and period when the affected residents may be allowed to return to their homes.

Section 16 of the Code, otherwise known as the General Welfare Clause, specifically calls on LGUs to “exercise the powers necessary, appropriate, or incidental for its efficient and effective governance, and those which are essential to the promotion of general welfare.”

Robredo said that the enactment of ordinances is part of the guidelines in line with government’s aim for zero casualties and ensuring public safety during manmade and natural disasters.

Robredo, is also the vicechair for preparedness of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).

“We cannot prevent disasters from happening, but we can do everything within our means to mitigate their adverse effects and prevent the loss of human lives,” Robredo added.

Barangay Buena Voluntiad here yesterday.

The gunmen, armed with armalite rifle and 5.56 pistol, spent at least 40 bullets in killing the unwed couple before fleeing to an unknown direction.

Chief of police Sr. Insp.

Roger Albacete said police investigators found 40 assorted empty shells of an armalite rifle and 5.56 pistol scattered near the bodies of the victims.

Police investigators are still facing blank wall as to the motives of the killing and the identities of the gunmen.

Last January 28, a former rebel died of multiple gunshot wounds after two men shot him pointblank in the same barangay.

Police said 48-year-old Rolando Duma-ug killing was “love triangle.”

However, relatives of Duma-ug insisted the killing was “political vendetta” as the victim worked as farm caretaker of a politician before he died.

Pacoy was a former bodyguard of a politician during the May 2010 elections while his common-law wife was a distant relative of a politician.

For her part, Plaridel town Mayor Agnes Villanueva ordered the police to conduct a no-nonsense investigation on the killings––and ensure that the suspects are put behind bars.

Since September 2008, nearly dozens of people have been killed here––and still unresolved.

They were: 1.Tita Democer - March 2012, 2. Edwin Pacoy - March 2012, 3. Mario Alingal -January 2012, 4. Rolando Duma-ug -

common-law wife, Gloria “Tita” Democer, were killed in an ambush.

Shortly after the killing, a text message saying “naunsa naman ang atong Plaridel” started to circulate.

Another text message read: “Walay kalooy nga mga pagpatay! Kinsa ang isunod?”

Pacoy and Democer from page 1 were riding in tandem when needs of vulnerable armed men peppered them sectors such as children, with bullets in Purok 7 in women, the elderly and persons with disabilities.”

“All measures should be taken to inform the evacuees of the need for the evacuation, that there is no other alternative for their safety, P A S A K AY : the place where they will be taken and for how long,” PAIRING GUIDE he said.

Robredo also encouraged local execs to train and orient their constituents on the possible natural hazards, vulnerabilities and that climate change risks as well as on disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) are organized and conducted at the local level by the DRRMCs. In his directive, the DILG Secretary said the ordinance HIGALA, should include the followKusog na kaayo ang 0-2ing: enforcement of forced evacuation within the LGU 4-6-8 nga mga numero ug shall be upon the recom- dakog posibilidad nga duha mendation of the Local ang sa lima ang manggawas Disaster Risk Reduction karong adlawa. and Management CommitAng pairing: tee; evacuation centers; and 02, 04, 06, 08, 24, 26, 28, enlistment of the assistance of PNP, AFP, BJMP, BFP, 46, 48, 68. 546-598 Philippine Coast Guard Pangkompleto ang 5 ug 9 (PCG) and other responders ug ang inyong makita sa atong in the area.

Under t he ac t, t he boundary was based on the crest of the watershed between Agusan river valley and the Pacific Ocean connecting both provinces which is far from the result of the cadastral survey conducted by DENR. SP member Samuel Tortor of Agusan del Sur debated on the issue stating that the province respected Barobo’s claim on Barangay Campbagang but claimed that a portion of it, estimated more than 1,300 hectares should be in the custody of San Francisco.

But Barobo Mayor Felixberto Urbiztundo refuted on the claim saying that the barangay was already part of Barobo ever since and there was an evidence on the total area being considered under Act No. 1693.

On the part of Surigao del Sur Vice Governor Manuel Alameda Sr., he believed that the surveys will just make things worst and the conflict will not be solved. He added that even with a compromised agreement, it will take a lengthy period to come up with a resolved output.

me because I am easily swayed by lies and that is what my family hates about me. I am beginning to understand why my family always advice me to choose who to help.

Meanwhile, a person comes into consciousness when he is dead. I am astonished as to how people would glorify and remember his good deeds when dead.

How about letting him hear it while he is breathing? That is the funny part of life.

As for our things, we

do not recognize their existence if we do not need them or use them yet.

I rememb er w hen I was young; I would always get pens from my m o m’s o f f i c e w i t h o u t permission.

My mom would then recognize that her pens are missing the moment that she would use it and lucky me if she forgets.

Lastly, Filipinos are known for being happy.

We refuse to see the reality and be agitated.

Like for the example, the series of killings last year in our countr y.

Some people take it l e s s s e r i ous and s om e even consider it as isolated cases.

It is fear that refuses us to see the reality of what is going on around us.

It is fear that prevents possible answers to come into our consciousness to solve the problems.

Everything we need in life is within our reach; all we need is to recognize them.

We should know our limits, where we stand, an d d i s c e r n ou r rol e s in life.

All we need is to go with flow of where our consciousness will take us and stay happy. Until the next Jibber Jabber.

as the “Gold” barangay, also shared the immense effect of the survey. But Punong Barangay Joebert de Castro said he will just respect on the decision of what will transpire on the decision but remained loyal to the LGU of Agusan del Sur. “Karon ra man ni na apil ang among barangay sa nahimong boundary conflict. Pero nagduda ko nga adunay lain interes ang tuyo sa among lugar ilabi na nga high grade mi,” said de Castro.

Barangay Das-agan became an instant sensation after the discovery of gold deposits which generates million of pesos income to the land owners. People from other places began camp in the mountainous area of the barangay to try their luck in gold business.

Philsaga Mining Corporation, the largest mining company in Agusan del Sur also showed interest in extracting gold bullions in the area. Presently, the company operated a mining extraction in the barangay under a large scale mining permit.

Nuggets 119, Kings 116

By MICHAEL KELLY of NBA.com

THE FACTS: Ty Lawson came up with another big shot in the final seconds, hitting a 3-pointer with 4 seconds left in overtime to lift the Denver Nuggets over the Sacramento Kings 119-116 on Monday night.

Twenty-four hours after drilling a jumper to seal a win at San Antonio, Lawson dribbled down the clock and hit a 24-footer over Tyreke Evans to give Denver its fourth straight win.

Arron Afflalo had a career-high 32 points, three of them from the foul line in the final second of regulation to send the game into overtime, and Kenneth Faried also chipped in with a career-high 20 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for the Nuggets.

Marcus Thornton and

Evans had 27 points each to lead Sacramento, which has lost four straight and nine of its last 11.

THE STAT: The Nuggets were in a sharing mood Monday. They had 33 assists on 40 made baskets.

Andre Miller had 11 to give Denver two players with double-digit assists.

T U R N I NG POI N T: With Sacramento leading 108-105, Thornton committed his sixth foul on Afflalo as the Nuggets guard threw up a desperation 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds left. Afflalo, a 75-percent shooter from the line, hit all three free throws to send the game into overtime. The Kings played the extra period without their leading scorer, and the Nuggets gritted out a big win at home.
