GLOBE BUSINESS KEY IN CLIENT
Shift to IPv6 technology KEY officials from Globe Business have confirmed that it has enabled more of its clients to adopt Internet Protocol version 6, or IPv6, as its core network now currently supports this new IP addressing scheme. This advancement has enabled its customers to access both IPv6 and IPv4 websites. “IPv6 is generally considered as the ‘next-generation IP,’ with its 128-bit address space supporting 4 billion times more space online to accommodate growing number of users. With this advancement, the Internet will be able to support more users and devices with wireless or wired access and web services, ultimately benefitting our corporate clients,” said Vincent Atienza, senior product manager for Globe Business Core Internet. Atienza added that “with this advancement in IPv6 technology, Globe Business ensures business continuity and seamless connectivity to Internet users and its enterprise clientele.” By providing them best-in-class solutions, the corporate arm of Globe Telecom effectively addresses corporate clients’ interconnectivity with solutions engi-
neered according to their needs, enabling continuous access to information. It also invested heavily to scale-up its IP infrastructure and better manage the increase in traffic flow. At the very core of its domestic network is its multi-protocol label switch or MPLS infrastructure, which powers more than 600 nodes available nationwide, with an ultra-broad 40-Gbps bandwidth. Anne Fernando, product marketing manager of Globe Business, said that “being IPv6-ready, we empower our clients to maximize the power of the internet and enhance their network connectivity through multiple unique internet protocol (IP) connections as we have the most efficient IP peer configuration in the industry, strategically connected to SHIFT/PAGE 9

Anti-fire systems protect NGCP switchyard equipment from damage CAGAYAN de Oro City––With its contingency measures in place, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) was able to prevent damage and maintain the security and reliability of the Mindanao grid despite a fire incident at a National Power Corporation-owned and maintained cable tunnel adjacent to NGCP’s facilities. At 10:20 p.m. last September 1, fire broke out at the National Power Corporation’s Agus 6 complex in Iligan City. NGCP’s 69-kiloVolt lines delivering power to Iligan Light and Power Co. Inc. (ILPI), Lanao del Norte Electric Cooperative (LANECO) and several directly connected industries tripped as a result. Power delivery services to all affected customers have been fully restored as of 4:15a.m. of September 4, 2012. Upgraded facilities equipped with antifire systems prevented damage on NGCP’s facilities. In 2011, NGCP embarked on 106 operation and maintenance projects, which included 22 anti-fire projects as well as 69 slope protection projects, nine transmission line comprehensive maintenance and six rehabilitation projects. In its effort to continuously improve and speed up restoration procedures during emergencies, NGCP also regularly conducts preparedness drills for fires, earthquakes, typhoons, and other disasters which may affect power transmission.

1,200 mangroves planted in Iligan By LORRY V. GABULE
ILIGAN City––The Iligan City Police Office-Philippine National Police (ICPO-PNP), Station 1, Tambo, Iligan City and the members of the Alpha Phi Omega International fraternity and sorority have planted mangrove propagules along the shore of Purok 7, Bayug Island, Barangay Hinaplanon. Sr. Supt. Raul L. Diones, city director, ICPO, led the planting of 1,200 propagules in one of the areas hit hard by tropical storm Sendong on December 2011. APO members from different chapters in Iligan were at the convergence site at 5 a.m. on September 6. Kagawad Rio Gonzaga, chairman, committee on environment of Barangay
Hinaplanon Council, oriented participants on how to plant propagules. He emphasized that it should be a “tree growing,” not merely tree planting. “When you plant, it should come from your heart. We are giving life to the fingerlings through mangroves,” said Gonzaga. As an APO member himself, Diones encouraged his comrades to be part of government’s National Greening Program. Station 1 Commander PCInsp. Robert A. de los Reyes thanked those who have been supporting the planting activity in their areas of responsibility (AOR). Involved were students, clubs, non-government organizations and plant industries who pledged to provide seedlings.
generally associated with lower parental involvement. The authors of the current study, led by Lee Gettler of the University of Notre Dame, studied 362 fathers in
the Philippines to determine whether their sleeping arrangements – either sleeping on the same surface as their children, in the same room, or separately – were related
to their testosterone levels. The researchers found that close sleep proximity between fathers and their children was associated with greater decreases in
testosterone level as the men transitioned to fatherhood, as well as lower overall levels relative to fathers that slept apart from their children. everyone.plos.org/media
Civic group mulls disaster manual for designers, builders By CATHERINE TEVES
A CIVIC ORGANIZATION is interested in helping produce a disaster manual for the country’s design and construction industry. Thiswould help promote development of disaster-resilient built environments nationwide amid climate change’s threats. Green Architecture Advocacy Philippines (GreenAP) aims tocollaborate with private scientific research institution Manila Observatory regarding its latest climate findings so the information can be included in the target manual to help guide the industry. “The information will be useful in creating more resilient built environments,” GreenAP Chairperson Miguel Guerrero said Friday when the organization spearheaded the 9th Green Forum in Metro Manila. This year’s edition of the forum
focused on what’s been done so far to better bring forth built environments that are sustainable and resilient to climate change and disasters. Among climate change’s impacts is onslaught of increasingly violent weather disturbances, experts warned earlier. Onslaught of previous weather extremes, and disasters that resulted from these, reignited public interest in resilient environments. Among measures earlier proposed to help achieve such resiliency are altering building designs, updating the National Building Code and rezoning communities. MO Associate Director for Research Dr. Gemma Narisma welcomes GreenAP’s proposed collaboration for the manual. “I think it’s a venue for building sustainable development,” she said during the forum. She considers the proposal timely,
noting her office rarely receives climate-related queries from the design and construction industry. Latest scientific data show need to monitor climate developments, however. MO’s initial studies indicate northwestern Philippines - including the country’s largest urban hub Metro Manila - will likely experience a five percent to 20 percent increase in rainfall, Narisma said. “The country’s temperature already increased beginning in the 1980s we’re getting warmer,” she also said. Authorities noted increased rainfall can contribute to onslaught of flooding particularly in areas where water flow is impeded. Rising temperature will affect water supply and agriculture, they continued. Narisma further cited the need to make environments resilient, noting the Philippines lies along the path of tropical cyclones.

Search for missing passengers of capsized boat continues KABACAN, North Cotabato-– Search and retrieval operations continue along the Paidu Pulangi river here for the remains of two missing passengers of a boat that capsized Wednesday morning, officials said. “Our search operations continue and we are not losing hope,” Cedric Mantawil, chair of the Kabacan municipal disaster risk reduction management council, said. “While all indications showed that the two missing persons are already dead, we remain hopeful they are still alive,” Mantawil said. Still missing were Mary Jane Abarca, 24 and Genevieve Saliling, 9. According to Saliling, the MDRRMC
has coordinated with the villages officials downstream of Paidu Pulangi to immediately report to authorities any discovery of human remains along the river. “We believed they were taken by strong river current shortly after the accident,” he said. At least 18 persons boarded the small motorized pump boat that could only accommodate 10 people, including nine pupils who will join the Math Olympiad at the University of Southern Mindanao. The boat capsized when a bigger motorboat overtook and created huge waves. Kabacan Mayor George Tan has offered financial assistance to the relatives of slain victims.

LPA moves closer, brings rains over Visayas, Mindanao THE new low pressure area (LPA) earlier spotted off the eastern coast of the country continues to move closer and has a chance of developing into a tropical cyclone, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said. Weather Forecaster Aldczar Aurelio said that as of 8 a.m. Friday, the potential cyclone was estimated at 485 kilometers east of Surigao City, Surigao del Norte (9.2°N, 130.3°E). Aurelio said the LPA has a chance to develop into a tropical cyclone since it is in the sea and they continue to monitor it. Once the weather disturbance becomes a tropical cyclone, it will be named “Karen,” the 11th cyclone to enter the country this year. Aurelio said the LPA is expected to bring moderate to heavy rains (2.5-15.0 millimeters per hour) and thunderstorms in Eastern Visayas and Mindanao which may trigger flash floods and landslides. He added that the rest of Luzon, including Metro Manila, will have fair weather but will experience partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderCongressman Rufus B.

BIFF to cease offensive, will strike back if attack COTABATO City––Renegade Moro rebels, who launched offensive against military forces that led to the displacement of about 45,000 Muslims in Central Mindanao, vowed to silence their guns and cease to wage offensive. Speaking for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), Von Al Haq said leaders of the breakaway Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Movement (BIFM) and its military arm, the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom
Fighters (BIFF), have forged an agreement with the MILF for the former to stop atrocities against the military and civilian populace. “There was an agreement and that the BIFF vowed to abide by it and that they will cease from launching offensives against the military for the welfare of Maguindanaons,” Haq said in a radio interview. Speaking for the BIFF, Abu Misry Mama, confirmed the existence of a
“localized agreement” between them and the MILF. “Correct, we have an agreement and we are abiding by it for the sake of our own people,” Misry said.“We decided to stop our offensives against the military but if we are attacked, naturally, we will fight back,” he added. Led by Ustadz Ameril Umra Kato, the BIF, numbering about 1,000, formed the BIFM and BIFF after they were dropped from the rosters
Bike driver killed in Agusan road mishap BUTUAN City––A motorcycle driver was killed when hit by a vehicle along the national highway in Purok 1, Barangay Likas, Jabonga, Agusan del Norte Thursday. Authorities identified the fatality as Rainer Funchica, 55, of Barangay Magsaysay, Jabonga town. Police investigation showed that the XRM 125 motorcycle driven by Funchica came from Surigao City en route to Butuan City when a Mazda Bongo driven by Jejun Mante hit it from behind. Witnesses told police
that the driver of the car failed to control the speeding vehicle hitting the motorcycle when it made a sudden U-turn. Aside from hitting the motorcycle, the car swerved to the right then it smashed at a parked double cab. The seriously injured Funchica was rushed to Jabonga District Hospital and later transferred to Agusan del Norte Provincial Hospital here where doctors pronounced him dead, police said.

God’s young worker needs help LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who is kind to the needy…” (Proverbs 14:21, the Holy Bible). -oooGOD’S YOUNG WORKER IN NEED OF HELP: This is an appeal for help---financial help, especially---to enable 22 year old Princess Joama Marcosa Alvarado Caleda of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan Province, to pay her hospital bills at the UST Hospital in Manila which, by now, has reached almost a million pesos. Princess was operated on, after she was diagnosed to be suffering from “takasayus arteritis”, or, in layman’s language, “pulseless disease”. Pastor Jojo Julian, the senior pastor of the New Testament Church and Mission based in Cagayan Province, brought the plight of Princess to my attention the other night, introducing her as a youth leader of their church which is ministering to the people of Balzain, Tuguegarao City (once known as the Tondo of Tuguegarao City, but which has been transformed by the work of the New Testament Church in the area, with Princess actively participating). “Takasayus arteritis” is a very rare disease, afflicting only one in every 500,000 females whose ages range from 10 to 30 years old, Pastor Jojo told me. The doctor who operated on Princess claimed she was just the second patient with this kind of a disease that consulted him, and who was subjected to medical intervention. Church members are profusely thanking God that Princess came out well after the operation. -oooFAITH IS THE ONLY THING THAT POOR FAMILY HAS: The father of Princess is a lawyer from the Public Attorney’s Office in Tuguegarao City, Atty.

THERE are many maternal conceptions in the country. Government response: Promote contraception. Fac t: Cont racept ive means inviting infidelity. Government response: Have more contraceptive means available especially to married people. Fact: There are many children in the country. Government response: Make not only contraceptive but abortive pills available to all, young and old. Fact: Pills for contraception and abortion are costly. Government response: Pass the RH Bill. Have PPPs established. Welcome even foreign contraceptive manufacturers in the country. Fact: There are a growing number of Filipino men with HIV-Aids. Govern-
Editorial ment response: Make them use condoms. Fact: Condoms promotes promiscuity which in turn promotes even more HIV-AIDS cases. Government response: Provide men and women with easy access to vasectomy and tubal ligation, respectively. Fact: The more husbands and wives live together, the more children they have. Government response: Have a Two (if not one) Children Policy. Fact: There should be more foreign capital pouring in the Philippines. Government response: Change the economic provisions of the Constitution. Fact: There should be an agreement between the
Government and the Mindanao rebels. Government response: Change the Philippine territorial provision of the Constitution. Fact: Marriage vows are hard to keep. Government response: Change t he prov isions about marriage and the family in the Constitution. Fact: Politicians are used to power and might, to wealth and luxury. Government response: Change the constitutional form of government for interminable terms of elective public offices. Let it be expressly said that the 1986 Constitution of the Philippines was composed by basically able and trustworthy individuals who were mostly jurists, professionals and upright
ordinary individuals. It was approved by the Filipinos almost unanimously. One thing is certain, i.e., the mere reading even of the present Constitution by the common tao readily reveals that there are a host of good and sound, proper and just provisions therein that are not implemented to this day—after more than two decades. And there are the supposed three powerful equal branches of government, represented by their respective heads, itching to change some of the key provisions of 1986 Constitution to suit their personal preferences and/or their family requirements.

Use it or lose it THINK a minute. Have you ever owned something quite valuable and useful, yet you ended up not using it much? There’s a story about a preacher who was talking with the owner of a factory that made soap. The soap maker said to the preacher: “This message about Jesus Christ that you preach cannot be very good, because there are still many bad people around.” The preacher saw a child nearby covered with dirt. So he said to the soap maker: “Your soap cannot be very good, because there are still a lot of dirty people.” The soap maker replied: “Well, my soap can only clean when a person uses it!” T h e pre a c h e r s ai d : “Yes, you’re right. It’s the same way with the Bible and Message about Jesus Christ.”
Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst You see, just like soap is not worth having if we don’t actually use it, it’s the same with the Message about Jesus Christ and new life He gives us who ask Him. Unless we then live it every day, it’s useless to us. The Bible is our Maker’s manual to show us how to live the right, successful way He designed it to work. So we not only must read and understand Jesus’ Message every day, we must follow it every day to start changing and living the satisfying life He plans for us to enjoy. Jesus said that even if we
So if Jesus’ written Manual for our life is not His living Message in our life, then we’re completely wasting the Bible and making it useless to us.
go to church, give money, and pray, but in our heart we’ve not started changing and becoming more like Him in our character, then we don’t really belong to Him and have His new life. For example, if we’re not honest, or we won’t obey Jesus’ command to forgive people who have wronged and hurt us, then we’re proving we do not truly know Him personally and have a relationship with Him. S o if Jesus’ written Manual for our life is not His living Message in our life, then we’re completely wasting the Bible and making it useless to us. So why not start actually using and living the new life Jesus died to give you. Everyday read and obey His Message to you, so you can know that you have His eternal life. If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it—forever. Just Think a Minute.
Peace, be still MATTHEW 8:23-27 tells us the story of Jesus and his disciples who went across the lake and experienced a storm. For the last week or so, some parts of the country including this city had experienced a couple earthquakes. Let us consult the Scripture how does the Son of God rebukes a certain calamity. As the Son of God and with only the power of His word, Christ speaks, and the wind ceases. After the violent storm stops, a great calm descends. This miracle over the environment contrasts the disorder, and confusion of nature against the power, order, and peace of the Creator.
The New Generation Alex A. Podador Christ treats this storm and the sea as if they were antagonistic and rebelling forces under a dominating, unrestrained power, but His word is sufficient to calm them, just as it commands demons to leave those who are possessed. Conflicts and rebellions have their source in Satan, the author of confusion in both the physical and
spiritual worlds. Physical evils in nature and among mankind are among Satan’s works that Jesus came to overcome and destroy. When Jesus speaks to calm the storm, the writer indicates that He addresses more than a meteorological force but a being behind it. When He commands the sea, “Peace, be still!”
the Greek phrase means “be muzzled or gagged,” as though the storm were a maniac that had to be bound and restrained. The waves of the world still rage against Christ’s disciples, yet they will never be overwhelmed because Christ is in them. Further, in Luke 10:19, Jesus gave this assurance to His people: I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. Surely as Christians, we can rebuke any calamity when it occurs anytime in our surroundings. All it takes is to use the authority that Jesus gave us.

What’s the use of Comelec IF it is unable to regulate and worse, conduct the elections? As of late, we have the recent announcement that it is unable to restrict and regulate the early campaigners that have sprouted all over the country with TV ads (a special attention to appointed managers in government agencies), billboards and posters that have begun to proliferate. How is it they have likewise Harry Tambuatco outsourced the elections to a foreign based company and worst of all, to a country known for its authoritarianism? With multiple complaints lodged by the many NGO groups and IT specialists, they have replied with a deafening silence leaving to the courts to arbitrate what is legal and what is not. Have they relegated themselves to the back burner become the authority to audit and control. Is this not the job of the government agencies and the legislative on oversight? Our courts known for disrepair continue to wallow in its misery with no less its supreme commanders adversarial towards each other leaving resolutions in a suspended mode exacerbated with delay to resolve itself. The system has broken down and only the media keeps them relevant if not on guard to rationalize all its faults. It is always the media that saves the day generating an interest towards angles created to skip the beat so to speak. But what to do with our leaders we require to save our country? How do we recognize if not identify these few good men who are willing to take on the cudgels of straight-
ening out our politics as in “matuwid na daan” when to begin with, they are corrupted by the system they need to operate in. For example; the practices to handing out cash i.e. monies, directly to the people who vote them due to this everyday practice calling this charity. Check out your neighborhood, your municipalities and your city leaders and you will realize the Robin Hood syndrome is at work. Give to the poor and steal from the rich except in this case the rich is the government coffers (one for you and two for me; all considering this is in cash). It is a known fact for most but even the COMELEC have decided it is unable to restraint and police now a tradition amongst our barangays. What is the purpose, the objective and how do we measure the role of the independent COMELEC who is now but another layer of the bureaucracy inutile towards its mandate to hold true elections for the people rather than systematically support the management of corruption. There is so much talk of reform and innovative ideas to correct the system that are lost after every election promising education and action. NGO’s are likewise to blame should the measurement of success be todays continuing practices. Imagine the dynasty issues which are so simple and glaring alluding to the chief executive, the senate, etc. Challenging the new DILG Secretary to go after oligarchs, private armies, dynasties, etc. is but a hoax with all its violators holding government and mandated positions all around him. How can he even begin or finish a job that is embedded with its violators amongst his superiors. The question begs then; is it even possible to implement “matuwid na daan?” You tell me!
Crossfire: resilience amid conflict By MARKO DAVEY D. REYES
THE dilemma that is peace and order in Mindanao is causing a threat to the island’s progress. The conflict that has been going on for decades that has something to do with claims of who are the rightful heirs of the lush lands of Mindanao has been a cause of concern for government agencies implementing various programs and project in the region. With the vast indifferences more important to many than the unity that would answer problems of poverty, the on-going rant echoes from one generation to another dividing the island more rather than bringing everyone together for calls of development. The Kalahi-CIDSS implementation in Lanao del Norte is facing this problem. Lanao del Norte is bordered by Lanao del Sur to the south, and further down, by Maguindanao. It is only divided by a series of mountain ranges and thick forests, making movement from one place to another pretty much possible and undetectable. The conflict between the Moro groups in the area (who are asking for autonomy in the region) and the government troops is a common sight in the province, specifically in municipalities along areas occupied by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). Some people even say that during times of war, the view of people
Maranaws launch another kind of revolt Contributed by RICHEL V. UMEL
MARAWI City––Maranaws have launched what they describe as revolution against crime and corruption, with the signing of a peace and development covenant here in the city, Thursday. Representative Samira Gutok Tomawis of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Tomawis said, “this is another kind of Moro revolution that focuses on crime and corruption,” citing women being the most common victims. In a three-page peace and development covenant, the signatories have agreed to lead in freeing Marawi City from criminal elements, who impede progress in the locality. They vowed to support the peace and development programs of the city government toward eradicating kidnappings, drug trafficking, drug use and other forms of criminalities, in cooperation with the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine National Police and other line agencies of government and the private sector.
During the occasion, Col. Daniel Lucero, commanding officer of the 103rd Brigade of the Philippine Army based in the city, has warned the lawless groups operating in the area that intense efforts of government will be lodged against them if they ever continue disturbing the city and the province of Lanao del Sur. Also during the covenant signing, Col. Lucero returned to Marawi City Mayor Fahad Salic the collector’s item Kampilan, a 45 caliber pistol and a 22 caliber rifle, which were taken by soldiers during the raid at his residence one hour after the MSU ambush. Believing that the covenant could be the best indicator of sustainable peace in the city, Mayor Salic urged the businessmen, investors and former residents, who have transferred to other places, to come back and do business anew in the city.” He assured them that the word ‘Islamic’ will always stand and live by its meaning.

combating each other is a common everyday spectacle. People living in war-torn areas say that they themselves are “immune” to this mayhem in their backyard. They live normally even if the MILF/MNLF and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) stage war in their front porches. But people should never be discouraged. The benefits of progress through the government’s programs should never be hindered from reaching its recipients. This was what Mr. Abdulaziz Batingolo, former Mayor of Tangkal, Lanao del Norte strongly reminds the locals in his municipality. Mr. Batingolo said, “walay maayong kadangatan ang giyera. Sugod sa ako
batan-on pa, mao na kana ang akong namatngunan. Apan walay nadangat ang gubat kun dili problema. Tan-awa unsay nahitabo sa ato karon, nalubong kita sa kapobrehon”. (Nothing good comes from war. Since I was a young lad, this chaos was what I have grown up with. War only brings about problems. Look what has been the effect of war to our municipality; we are stuck in a hole of scarcity.) Mr. Batingolo used to serve for the MNLF before. Before signing a peace treaty with the government, Mr. Batingolo, (Also known to the MNLF as Commander Dante Mutia) was among the MNLF’s hardcore leaders and and it was in Tangkal that the first MNLF camp
was built. “Nakita namo nga lisod nga kami magpadayon pag kontra sa gobyerno. Ang mga programa sa gobyerno dili maka-abot kanamo tungod kay mahadlok ang mga tao pagsulod sa among lugar. Apan karon nga siguro na ang siguridad sa lugar, sunod-sunod na ang mga nangabot nga tabang gikan sa atong gobyerno”, Mr. Batingolo said. (We saw that it was no good trying to fight the government. The government’s programs do not reach our place because people fear for their safety when they are in our area. But now, since it is now safe, a lot of different programs are coming from our government.) CONFLICT/PAGE 9
Cotabato Auxiliary Bishop Jose Collin Bagaforo said it is essential that the authorities do all in their power to stem the “unreasonable and unjust” attacks that is claiming the lives of media workers. “We always stand to the sacredness and the dignity of human life,” Bagaforo said over Catholic Church-run Radio Veritas. Apostol’s decomposing remains was found in Liguasan Marsh near Sultan sa Barongis in Maguindanao last Sept.1, five days after his family reported him missing. The 52-year old part-time radio block time talk show host with DxND in Kidapawan, Cotabato becomes the country’s sixth journalists to be killed this year. Reports revealed that he had been shot twice in the head and his hands and feet bound with rope when he was found. But the National Union for Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) said it was not clear yet if the killing was related to Apostol’s media work. Media watchdog groups Committee to Protect Journalists and International Federation of Journalists also denounced the incident and called for investigation into the killing of Apostol. [CBCPNews]

Kia Motors investment in R&D underpins commitment to environmental responsibility • Increases in R&D spend accelerate improvements in production efficiency and the rollout of vehicles with reduced emissions • Kia manufacturing is now 44% more eco-efficient • EcoDynamics technology has improved Kia vehicle efficiency by up to 41% • Kia invested US$20.2 million in charity programs for 27,500 individuals in 2011 KIA MOTORS CORPORATION is investing heavily in research and development to further reduce its environmental impact, notably by improving manufacturing processes and increasing innovation in vehicle technologies. According to the corporation’s new sustainability report, Kia invested U S $ 2 . 2 5 bi l l i on * – – s i x percent of its total sales revenue––in research and development and in its production facilities in 2011. The investment meant that Kia is 44 percent more eco-efficient than in 2004, when it began measuring its environmental impact. Building on this momentum, in 2012 Kia will invest a further US$2.52 billion*, a substantial yearon-year increase of 12 percent, to ensure its production processes become even more eco-efficient and to accelerate the development of highly-efficient vehicles with low emissions. At a Group level, over 9,800 employees––including 30 percent of all staff recruited since 2010––are now engaged in research and development. Kia’s environmentally friendly manufacturing initiatives––including the Green Design System to increase the use of recycled materials, and the Chemical Management System, which minimises the use of hazardous chemicals and subst ances––were responsible for reducing CO2 emissions per vehicle produced in 2011 by 16 kg, compared to 2010. Atmospheric pollutants were also reduced by nine percent per vehicle manufactured during 2011. The volume of steel recycled by Kia globally in 2011 rose by 33 percent compared to 2010, thanks to more effective waste management solutions. This improvement also allowed Kia’s Sohari and
Hwaseong plants in Korea to produce no landfill waste whatsoever last year, helping to reduce Kia’s global production of waste materials by 28 percent compared to the 2003 level. Embracing EcoDynamics Kia has employed its EcoDynamics engineering philosophy to create a range of vehicles that are not just visually and dynamically exciting but are also more environmentally conscious. For example, the fourth-generation Kia Rio 1.1 diesel introduced in 2011 is 41 percent more efficient than the equivalently powered 1.5-diesel variant of its 2005 predecessor. Similarly, the new Kia Picanto emits 5.4 percent less CO2 than the previous model, and the 2013 Kia Optima will deliver 7.7 percent greater fuel economy and emit 7.2 percent less CO2 than the current model. This is the result of newly developed powertrain technologies, including Continually Variable Valve Lift (CVVL), which regulates the amount of air injected into the combustion chamber to increase efficiency, and ISG that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle is stationary. Kia has also developed (currently for its domestic market only) its first eight-speed multi-step transmission, which improves fuel economy by up to 18 percent. Wider social responsibility During 2011, Kia once again invested heavily in charity work around the world and invested US$20.2 million* through 158 different programmes, benefitting 27,459 individuals. Meanwhile, Kia’s European sales subsidiaries
have been supporting the ‘Planting for a Better Life’ Mali project, which has already planted 3.5 million trees since 2007. Kia promises to plant up to six million additional jatropha shrubs over the next three years, helping to secure a brighter future for communities in the
area by boosting agricultural output and generating income for farmers and their families. “The progress that Kia has made in the past 12 months is phenomenal, both technologically and socially,” said HyoungKeun Lee, Vice Chairman and CEO, Kia Motors Cor-

Caraga ‘s growth fastest of 17 PH regions in 2011 BY PAT SAMONTE
BUTUAN CITY – Caraga’s economy recorded the fastest growth among the country’s 17 regions with an accelerated rate of 9.6 percent in 2011 from 7.4 percent in 2010. In a press release dated July 26, 2012, the National Statistical Coordination Board said Caraga’s impressive growth was fueled by the 9.7 percent expansion of its service sector and the rebound of its Agriculture, Hunting, Forestry and Fishing Sectors to a growth of 3.4 percent in 2011 from a decline of 9.6 percent in 2010. NSCB incharge of Office of the Secretary General Lina V. Castro said five regional economies, out of the country’s 17 regions, posted accelerated growths for the period 2010-2011. Cagayan Valley posted the biggest jump in growth with 6.5 percentage points as its economy bounced back from a decline of 1.1 percent in 2010 to a growth of 5.4 percent in 2011. Other regions which experienced accelerated growths were: Caraga, 7.4 percent to 9.6 percent; SOCKSARGEN, 2.0 percent to 4.0 percent; Western Visayas, 3.7 percent to 5.5 percent; and MIMAROPA, 1.1 percent to 2.5 percent. Meanwhile, the growth rate of CALABARZON’s economy took the big
Zamboanga folks air concerns over asphalt factory pollution ZAMBOANGA CITY Villagers have complained about the air pollution caused by thick smoke billowing from a huge chimney of a factory in the southern Philippine port city of Zamboanga. One resident said the factory produces asphalt and usually operates at night in the village of Boalan. Local health inspectors have surveyed the area during day time, but it was not immediately known why the factory operates during the night. It was not immediately known whether Department of Environment and Natural Resources o its local counterpart inspected the factory. Residents fear the pollution would cause respiratory and other health problems, particularly to children and those who have weak immune system. (Mindanao Examiner)
Asphalt has been a major material for most road projects in the Philippines
SEAIR unveils “It’s More Fun in the Phils” promo South East Asian Airlines (SEAIR) recently announced that it has teamed up with the Department of Tourism (DOT) to promote the Philippines across the region. The airline unveiled its campaign tie-up with the DOT during the Kadayawan Festival in Davao . Starting August 2012, two brand-new SEAIR Airbus 320s will sport the tourism slogan “It’s More Fun in the Philippines “ on their fuselage. The planes will fly daily from Clark International Aiport to Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Kota Kinabalu, and Kalibo – the gateway to the world’s favorite beach destination, Boracay. “SEAIR has imbibed the spirit of the DOT campaign with the creative application of our new tourism slogan. It is the first airline in the Philippines to help spread the word that It’s more fun
Sun Cellular reaches out to monsoon flood victims Sun Cellular reached out and offered free call services to fl ood-affected residents of Marikina, Quezon City and Pampanga following the devastating monsoon rains that hit key areas of Metro Manila and Nearby Provinces. Breaking records with the highest volume of rainfall since Typhoon “Ondoy,” the recent series of monsoon downpours have caused severe flooding and landslides which caused death and destruction and stalled normal business at the country’s capital.
In response, Sun Cellular mobilized teams of employee volunteers and worked with barangay officials to put up public service booths that offered free all-network and international calls to flood victims in several evacuation centers. Serving hundreds of flood victims, these service booths provided vital communications services and even facilitated relief efforts for the affected communities. “More than ever, we recognize how vital it is to keep our com-
munication services reliable and accessible to the public. And with this, we’ve taken to heart our role in supporting the Filipino spirit of bayanihan through communications – giving flood victims a free means to reconnect with their closest relatives for assistance and also helping out in the correspondence of on-site volunteer operations,” he added. Beyond these, Pangan also assured the public of Sun’s continuous efforts VICTIMS/PAGE 9
in the Philippines , and we congratulate SEAIR for taking the initiative to promote Philippine tourism in such a unique way,” Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez, Jr. said. “With SEAIR’s daily regional flights, we are spreading the news that Philippines is where travel is at its best. The sights and sounds that our country has to offer are some of the best-kept secrets in the world and we are proud to be able to play a role in getting the word out and getting more travelers to experience all the things we have to offer!” said SEAIR CEO Patrick Tan. SEAIR launched t he campaign during the famed harvest festival in Davao called Kadayawan. The annual event is known for its colorful dances and parades which celebrates the natural abundance of the region and serves as a thanksgiving ritual by the locals to “ Manama “or the Supreme Being. The airline offers two flights a day to the premier Mindanao hub from the Manila Domestic Airport , also known as Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 4. DOT has granted SEAIR the right to use the popular campaign logo and slogan for the next three years. “We will ensure that the fun begins when travelers first step onboard our flights for a seamless, comfortable, and safe journey to the Philippines via Clark ,” added Tan. As part of its international campaign, the DOT released a TV commercial in May via
global media giant CNN featuring creative memes made and contributed by the public. It also rolled out banner ads on the iconic London black taxicabs, double-decker buses, and underground stations in the United Kingdom , which have been exposed to millions of visitors attending the Queen’s Jubilee last June and the recently-concluded Olympic games. “We are grateful to have the support of the President and partner government agencies in ensuring that our tourism campaign will realize its goal to have more people around the world recognize the Philippines as the fun place to be. Tourism is all about optimism, confidence, and momentum. We are keenly aware that we will succeed only if we are able to rally the entire department, tourism stakeholders, government agencies, and the general public around a very simple idea: Tourism is the people’s business. We invite everybody to continue supporting our campaign and spreading the FUN,” Secretary Jimenez enthused. This latest initiative is just one of the many “firsts” of the partner airline of Tiger Airways to boost tourism in the country. SEAIR and Tiger Airways recently announced that Tiger has completed the transaction to acquire a 40% stake in SEAIR. The investment is Tiger’s second venture in the South East Asia as part of its strategy for regional expansion. SEAIR was the first carrier to operate out of Clark
International Aiport and also among the first to put its trust and confidence in Clark Development Corporation. It was also the first airline to open tourism in northern Palawan , subsequently developing El Nido as a key destination. It has the longest history of uninterrupted flights to Caticlan, having served the gateway to one of the world’s top beach destinations, Boracay, for 17 years. SEAIR is the first to offer “paradise to paradise routes” which linked Puerto Princesa, El Nido, and Boracay. It is the first airline to offer double daily flights to Batanes. The airline first introduced online reservations and e-ticketing in the country in 2006, as well as promotions through online promotional codes via its website, www.FlySeair.com. It is the first to offer a “rideall-you-can product” with the SEAIR Adventure Pass. SEAIR is the first airline to interact with customers through social media via the SEAIR Facebook Fan Page. In 2010, SEAIR tied up with Tiger Airways under the SEAIR-Tiger Airways Partner Airline Programme and became the first Tiger Airways Partner Airline in the Asia Pacific region. SEAR was awarded “Best Airline of the Year” for two consecutive years, in 2002 and 2003, and recently in 2009 by the Philippines ’ Consumer Excellence Award. In 2010, it was named Gold Brand by the Gold Brands Council Philippines for brand image appeal and trust and market acceptance.

agency officials implementing programs in their area. He said it was about time they get what they deserve, development through the government’s programs. Amidst the chaos in the province, the Department of Social Welfare and Development still finds it an obligation to see to it that all areas in the region receive the necessary help from the government. With the lurking dangers up ahead, staff of the Convergence program of the DSWD which includes the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan – Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services stride forward to face challenges their work holds. After all, it is the mandate of the department to bring the poverty alleviation programs of the agency to those who need them the most. The Kalahi-CIDSS PAMANA or the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (Peaceful and Resilient Communities) program will also be implemented in the area. PAMANA is a government program and framework for peace and development implemented in areas affected by conflict and communities covered by existing peace agreements. Mr. Batingolo is all support to the Kalahi-CIDSS project. Together with his wife, Mayor Aisah Batingolo, and the people of Tangkal, Lanao del Norte, they will try to ensure that the implementation of the project will be successful so that they will be able to receive more government projects, and reap the fruits of progress and development.

As of now, Princess has been confined for 15 days, and expenses keep mounting on a daily basis.

Those interested to help financially can call Pastor Jojo Julian at 09069777017. -oooHELPING OTHERS MEANS HELPING GOD: Helping others who are in need means helping and lending to God. In Proverbs 19:17, the Bible says: “He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done.” In Matthew 25:31-46, we are told by Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, that those who feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, care for the sick and visit the detained and clothe the naked, are all really feeding, giving drink, caring, visiting and clothing Him, and therefore would be given an everlasting life with God. I am sure that if we help Princess, a worker of God, in her hour of need, we are actually doing it for God. We must therefore strive to give or do whatever we can.

2013 African Nations Cup Qualifying AFRICAN FOOTBALL fans are looking forward to a big weekend of qualifying matches for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in South Africa.
The final qualifying round features 15 homeand-away series. The 15 winners, to be determined by total goals in the two games, will join host South Africa at African football’s premier event. One of the marquee match-ups this coming weekend will be in Abidjan, where The Elephants of Ivory Coast will host The Lions of Teranga from Senegal. African football analyst David Legge describes this qualifying series as worthy of a Nations Cup final. The Elephants, Africa’s highest-ranked team, are led by veteran striker Didier Drogba, who recently moved from Chelsea in England’s Premier League to Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League. Ivory Coast, the 1992 Nations Cup champion, reached the final of this year’s competition, losing (8-7) to underdog Zambia in a dramatic penalty kick shootout in Libreville, Gabon. Senegal, meanwhile, is hoping to bounce back after a very disappointing 2012 Nations Cup campaign. The Senegalese lost all
three of their group matches and left the tournament as perhaps the most embarrassed team. Zambians are very proud of their team, The Chipolopolo, for lift ing the Nations Cup trophy for the fi rst time in Libreville. To get to South Africa and defend their title, the Zambians will have to beat The Cranes of Uganda, who last competed in the Nations Cup tournament in 1978. Football Association of Zambia president Kalusha Bwalya is not looking past the Ugandans, though, and he says they’ll provide a tough test. Th is series will kick off Saturday in Zambia’s Copperbelt city of Ndola, near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. The return match is scheduled for midOctober in Uganda. The 2013 Nations Cup tournament will begin January 19th and goes through February 10th. Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg will stage the opening match and the final. Soccer City was also the venue for the 2010 FIFA World Cup fi nal, in which Spain defeated the Netherlands, 1-0, in extra time.
Team captain Didier Drogba is the all-time top scorer for Ivory Coast.
