Go Negosyo projects for Sulu launched SULU – A series of infrastructure projects was launched by various companies and organizations in Sulu in an effort to bring peace and development to the southern Filipino province. Among the projects, launched through the “Go Negosyo” program, were housing units for the poor in the village of Anuling in Patikul town and in Kajatian village in the
town of Indanan. Sulu Governor Toto Tan led government officials in both ground breaking ceremonies attended by Anna Margarita “Ginggay” Hontiveros-Malvar, of Go Negosyo; former Governor Sakur Tan, Senior Superintendent Mario Buyucan, the provincial police chief, and Anuling village chieftain Gambrazer “Ging” Hayudini. The Filipino-Chinese
Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Rep. Arthur Yap also donated one school building with 8 classrooms at the Sultan Jamalul Kiram Elementary School in Maimbung town. Enrique Chua, a representative of the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, flew to Sulu from Manila to lead the ground breaking ceremony. Continue on page 2

Eastern Mindanao
CONTRARY TO CLAIMS that closing down mining operations in the countr y will worsen poverty, research group IBON said that large-scale mining activities impact heavily on marginalized sectors and intensify poverty. The group also said that the mining sector’s export-oriented character further deprives communities by taking away potential resources for local development. The Employers’ Confederation of the Philippines claimed the crackdown on mining would lead to "expansive pover ty" and hur t economic growth. This was in response to the Department of Environ-
Western Mindanao
Cebu
ment and Natural Resources Secretary Gina Lopez’s recent orders to close and suspend some mining operations and cancel 75 mining contracts. According to a study by IBON, however, mineral extraction and production often incur significant social and environmental costs which in fact fall disproportionately on the poor. In 2009, mining had the highest poverty incidence among industry groups at 48.71%. This was the highest poverty incidence since 1988, even surpassing the agriculture sector, which has historically topped poverty incidence across industries. Continue on page 3

Go Negosyo projects for Sulu launched
Sulu provincial photos show some of the projects launched recently through “Go Negosyo” program in Sulu province in southern Philippines. Continued fr om page 1 from Chua, along with Tan and the others, also inspected the facilities at the Hadji Butoh School of Arts and Trade which needs repair and new equipment for the students, especially those taking electronics and automotive, among other technical courses. Representatives from the SM Foundation were also in Sulu to help train vegetable farmers from the provinces’ 19 municipalities. Tan thanked all those who went to Sulu and said he and his constituents will forever be grateful to them. He also
thanked President Rodrigo Duterte for his support and personal attention to the needs of the province. In December last year, Duterte launched “Negosyo Para sa Kapayapaan sa Sulu: Christmas Townhall with the President” after the former governor – also called Datu Shah Bandar – who was also present in the meeting – sought Duterte’s help in August – through the assistance of Joey Concepcion, who is also the Presidential Consultant for Entrepreneurship; and Agriculture Secretary Manny Piñol, and other stakeholders.
Duterte invited business people in Malacañang for the launching of the “Save Sulu Project” and among those who committed to help Sulu were PLDT Chairman Manuel Pangilinan, who pledged to rehabilitate and put up more Smart Telecommunication cell sites, build at least 40 houses in the next 2 years, provide water and power to communities and donate hospital equipment and train doctors and grant scholarships. San Miguel Corporation, which pledged to build a 15-megawatt coal-fired power plant, a feed mill sup-
ply chain and to help rebuild the Hajji Buto School of Arts and Trade. The National Book Store also committed to provide school supplies for at least 100,000 students, and the other donors were Bounty Fresh Food, Inc. which will open up poultry contract growing to farmers;W. Group, which pledged to buy seaweeds from local fishermen and farmers; Gawad Kalinga founder Tony Meloto, who vowed to build at least 100 houses; taipan Lucio Tan and his son, Michael, who both committed to resume air transportation from
Zamboanga City to Sulu. And SM’s Tessie SyCoson, Rosalind Wee, of the Marine Resources Development Corporation – the country’s biggest producer of carrageenan; the KAPATID Agri Group which will help train farmers; and Rep. Arthur Yap and the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc., which will also put up classrooms; Quintin Pastrana, who pledged to put up libraries and literacy programs in Gawad Kalinga villages. The Department of Agriculture said it will provide
tractors, farm implements and agricultural training to farmers in Sulu. Secretary Ramon Lopez, of the Department of Trade and Industry, said SM, Robinsons, Double Dragon, Rustan’s and even Puregold would partner with Sulu fishermen and farmers by allocating a specific space in their malls for free. Some P1 billion from the Office of the President’s budget will be made available for small entrepreneurs, and another P50 million for Sulu farmers and if it do well, another P50 million would be made available immediately.

In compliance with the publication requirements and in pursuant to OCRG Memorandum Circular No. 2013-1 Dated January 16, 2013 Guidelines in the Implementation of the Administrative Order No. 1 Series of 2012 (IRR on R.A. 10172), Notice is hereby served to the public that Name of Document Owner has filed with this Office, a petition for correction of entry in sex from “MALE” to “FEMALE” in the Certificate of Live Birth of SITTI A-EIZA R.

Regions with biggest mining activities among the poorest, says IBON Continued fr om page 1 from Among the biggest mining operations in the country are the Taganito Mining Corp in Surigao; Nickel Asia in Eastern Samar; Sagittarius Mines Incorporated in South Cotabato, Filminera Resources Corp. in Masbate and TVI Pacific Inc in Zamboanga del Sur. Yet, IBON noted that official 2015 poverty statistics show that regions hosting these mining activities are the poorest, next only to the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. Poverty incidence among individuals in Caraga (Region XIII) is the second highest in the country at 39.1 percent. The Eastern Visayas (Region
VIII) posted the third highest poverty incidence at 38.7% followed by Soccsksargen (Region XII) at 37.3%, Bicol (Region V) at 36.0% and Zamboanga Peninsula (Region IX) at 33.9 percent. Mining industry statistics also indicate that most of Philippine mineral production goes to exports, IBON observed. Total production value in mining in 2015, for instance, was at P179.7 billion. Meanwhile, the amount of total exports of minerals and mineral products was at P131 billion in the same year, or 73% of total production value. The exodus of minerals from the country leaves very little or nothing for local industry to
benefit from. This means a lack of raw materials for potential industries such as steel, cement, rubber, paper, chemical and pharmaceutical. IBON said that for allowing the extraction and export of most of the country’s mineral wealth while poverty remains stark in regions with mining activities, the Philippine Mining Act of 1995 should be repealed. The group said that government should not heed the mounting pro-bigbusiness mining hype and instead focus on saving and utilizing what is left of the country’s resources to genuinely benefit the nation, especially the poorest regions.
Any person adversely affected by said petition may file his written opposition with this Office not later than last date of this publication. ZENAIDA F. JALANI Municipal Civil Registrar

ARMM launches program that promotes human resource excellence among its agencies COTABATO CITY – The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) launched the Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM) that would help promote human resource excellence among agencies in the region. “Isa sa pinakaimportante nating programa sa ARMM ngayon ay ang pagpapalakas ng ating mga empleyado at mga organisasyon para sa mga empleyado, pati na rin mga proseso para sa mga empleyado,” Atty. Rasol Mitmug, Jr., ARMM chief of staff, said. The Civil Service Commission (CSC)-ARMM and the Office of the Regional
Governor took the lead in launching the program on February 27. Leopoldo Roberto Valderosa, Jr., Regional Director of CSC-ARMM, said PRIMEHRM is a mechanism that supports the attainment of the CSC vision of becoming a Center of Excellence for Human Resource and Organization Development. The PRIME-HRM assesses the agencies’ human resource management competencies, systems, and practices toward HR excellence. The program represents a more progressive system of assessment as it entails greater engagement not just of the human resource management officer but also the officials and the rank-and-file employees.
The program also aims at serving as search mechanism for best practices in HRM; serving as venue for exchange and development of expertise in the area of HRM between and among government agencies; empowering the agencies in the performance of HRM functions; and promoting and rewarding excellent HRM practices. The program covers all national and local government agencies, including government-owned and controlled corporations with original charter, state universities and colleges, as well as regional offices of agencies with human resource offices or units.

Sunfish, napadpad sa dalampasigan ng Zambo ZAMBOANGA CITY – Isang sunfish o Mola-Mola ang napadpad dito kamakailan, ngunit kung anu-anong kuro-kuro naman ang bumabalot sa mga residente dahil sa kakulangan ng kaalaman ukol sa naturang isda. Nagulantang ang mga naninirahan sa tabing pampang ng Barangay Sangali ng tumambad sa kanila ang sunfish na halos isang metro ang lapad, ngunit wala na itong buhay. Takot naman ang umiral sa mga residente doon sa akalang ang
paglutang ng sunfish ay sinyales ng paparating na lindol. Ang iba naman ay ikinakatakot na baka magkaroon ng tsunami. Kamakailan lamang ay isa rin sunfish ang natagpuan di-kalayuan sa Zamboanga State Polytechnic College sa Zamboanga City at noong 2015 at 2013 rin. Ngunit ayon sa mga dalubhasa ay karaniwang lumulutang ang mga sunfish upang magpainit, subali’t ang iba ay inaatake ng mga mas malalaking isda o kaya ay naaksidente sa ibabaw ng
karagatan kung kaya’t humihina ang mga ito hanggang sa mapadpad sa dalampasigan. Malimit na iniuugnay ng mga Pilipino sa mga lindol ang paglutang ng mga sunfish dahil sa pagiging ignorante ng karamihan. Lalo pa itong nagdulot ng takot sa publiko ng mapadpad ang 3 sunfish sa dalampasigan ng Butuan City, Agusan del Norte at Misamis Occidental bago niyanig ng malakas na lindol ang Surigao City nitong Pebrero 10.

Intensified combat ops ordered vs. Sayyaf ZAMBOANGA CITY – The military’s Western Mindanao Command said it ordered security forces to intensify combat operations against the Abu Sayyaf which is still holding over 2 dozen Asian sailors kidnapped in southern Philippines and Malaysia. “The Joint Task Force Sulu led by Colonel Cirilito Sobejana continues to intensify the conduct of offensives against the Abu Sayyaf to neutralize the bandits and ensure the rescue of the remaining hostages. All measures are undertaken in accordance with the rules of engagement and with support from the local government and the populace,” Major General Carlito Galvez, chief of the Western Mindanao Command, said as he appealed to citizens to help authorities by provid-

ing information on the Abu Sayyaf. Galvez parroted other senior military officials in saying that he will crush the Abu Sayyaf in 6 months. “Terrorism is a sickening problem that needs all sectors of society’s cooperation for it to be defeated. With the renewed vigor of those who are against it, we are optimistic that we will be able to crush the bandits within six months.” Just last week, 5 Abu Sayyaf rebels were killed and at least 11 soldiers wounded in brief, but fierce gun battle that erupted in Sulu province where security forces are battling the ISIS-affiliate group blamed for the grisly murder of a kidnapped 70year old German yachter Jurgen Kantner. The fighting broke out in the remote mountain vil-
lage of Bud Taran in Indanan town where troops – searching for other kidnapped victims – caught up with a band of rebels and engaged them in running gun battle for 10 minutes. At the end of the fighting, 5 rebels were slain and 11 government soldiers injured. Kantner was beheaded on February 26 after his family failed to pay P30 million ransom to the Abu Sayyaf. He was kidnapped while sailing in a yacht with his wife Sabine Merz, 56, when Abu Sayyaf gunmen intercepted them just several nautical miles from Tawi-Tawi in the Muslim autonomous region. The woman was naked when found by soldiers in the boat. A shotgun was also recovered near her body. (Mindanao Examiner)

Police to revive war on illegal drugs
Continued fr om page 1 from Duterte said he suspended the anti-drug campaign to allow “cleansing’ within the ranks of the Philippine National Police, and at the same time ordered the military to help the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in carrying out the campaign. Police Director General Ronald dela Rosa also reminded all police commanders of the socalled “3-strike policy” and to strictly enforce internal disciplinary mechanisms among their units. Under the PNP Memorandum Circular No. 2017-13 or the PNP Internal Cleansing Strategy dated February 21, the administrative relief
of unit commander and their reassignment to appropriate Personnel Holding and Accounting Unit will be undertaken if 3 of their personnel were found positive in drug test, or arrested by other units for involvement in heinous and high profile crimes, or failure to take immediate action on reports of involvement in illegal activities of their personnel that are brought to their attention. “This is to emphasize the concept of command responsibility, kasi kung walang command responsibility kanya-kanya yan, mahihirapan ang organisasyon,” Dela Rosa said. He also said that all po-
lice commanders across the country should be vigilant and put extra effort on their significant responsibility in enforcing existing disciplinary mechanisms. “The commander must be informed, know everything and on top of the situation. Kung ikaw ay station commander, you should know what each and every policeman under your command is doing,” Dela Rosa said. Dela Rosa also activated the Police Counter Intelligence Task Force to run after policemen involved in illegal activities and files proper charges against them and eventually removed from the service.

Political strategist ni Duterte at NIA boss, sinabak o nag-resign? Continued fr om page 1 from Inamin mismo ni Laviña na umalis na ito sa kanyang posisyon sa NIA at sa Facebook account nito ay sinabi niya na ginamit lamang at inabuso ang kanyang pangalan. Napilitan lamang siyang mag-resign upang isalba si Duterte sa eskandalo. Itinanggi ni Laviña ang lahat ng paratang sa kanya. “Paalam! I have been vilified in the past; my name used, abused and maligned. Recently, there had been efforts to discredit me again. There are rumors circulating that I have asked money from NIA contractors. These are not true! To spare the President from these embarrassing stories, particularly in these times of
intensified attacks on him, I have quietly left government. I have neither personal vested interest in it nor ill intent towards NIA and the whole government, which we are trying to reform.” “Thank you for the opportunity to serve the government, especially to President Duterte, whose trust I have never betrayed. I have proven in the past that one need not be in government to do public service or work for the common good. I will likely continue to do so in media, civil society and the business sector where I have been involved before. May the Lord continue to light our paths. God bless us all. This is your water boy, signing off!,” pahayag pa ni Laviña. Ayon naman sa ulat ng
GMA Television, may alegasyon umabno kay Laviña na humihingi raw ito ng 40% komisyon mula sa mga kontraktor ng mga proyekto o kontrata ng NIA. Sinabi pa umano ni Federation of FreeWorkers president Sonny Matula sa naturang ulat na mismong si Duterte ang nagsiwalat sa kanila sa isang meeting kamakailan na sinibak nito si Laviña bilang patunay sa pakikipaglaban nito sa korapsyon. “In our meeting last Monday, he said to the workers group that he takes seriously his campaign commitment. Top priorities in his list are corruption, crime/ drugs, and contractualization,” ani Matula. (Mindanao Examiner)

TECH TIPS: This is the Best Thing You Can Do To Secure Your Phone WHAT’S THE number one thing you can do to secure your phone and your data inside? The answer is simple, but many smartphone owners don’t incorporate this basic yet essential feature that could minimize their risk of data/ identity theft, loss of privacy, physical theft, visual hacking etc. Can you guess what the answer is? Before you take the time to install antivirus software on your device, encrypt your data/messages and other more complex security measures, the most important thing you want to do when you get a new smartphone is to set up a locking method on your lock screen. Yes, the answer is simple, but you’d be surprised how many smartphone owners don’t protect their lock screen with either a PIN, pattern, fingerprint or another method, meaning the home screen can be activated by a simple swipe. Sure, you save time, especially if you are a constant phonechecker, but I cannot stress the importance of this enough. What ar e the rrisks isks if yyou ou are don't lock yyour our scr een screen The first risk is visual hacking: if you are checking
your phone in public, prying eyes could be looking over your shoulder, so it’s best to check sensitive information privately and not in a packed bus. If your phone is left somewhere unattended, someone could easily read your messages, access your banking app or other personal data. Having a lock screen would nullify this risk. Having your phone stolen: if you lose your phone or if it is stolen, not having a lock screen or a pin for your SIM is bad news. Perpetrators use SIM readers or scanners in order to grab information from your SIM card, then use it to make phone calls. Chances are they don’t call locally, resulting in massive bills you have to pay for. Thankfully, carriers often act fast in these situations and help resolve the problem. But it is better not to risk this in the first place. Digital identity theft: if someone gets a hold of your phone, they could do more than just place calls. They may use your social media accounts to post damaging information or worse, access credit card and social security numbers, if these happen to be in emails or saved in apps.
People who fall victim to identity theft often are plagued by the issue for years, seeing as the information is continuously sold and used for other illegal activities. How do yyou ou lock yyour our scr een? screen? Scared yet? Don’t be. Just set up a lock screen on your Android phone or tablet, it’s a simple thing to do that could save you a lot of grief. Every manufacturer has a slightly different setup, and some newer phones, such as the Galaxy S7, feature a fingerprint reader for extra security. To access the lock screen settings on an Android phone, a common path would be go to your Settings, then Security and the first option is Screen lock. You can then set up a pattern, PIN or password. The pattern can also be made invisible, as opposed to showing the grid of dots. Furthermore, you can decide how quickly your phone automatically locks. Some other good available features are the ability to encrypt your phone, set up a SIM card lock and Android Device Manager, the latter allowing you to lock or erase a lost or stolen device remotely via a web browser.
ARMM offers over 3,000 scholarship slots COTABATO CITY – The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (TESDAARMM) announced the availability of 3,115 slots under two scholarship programs of the agency. Atty. Rasol Mitmug Jr, the Office of the Regional Governor’s chief of staff and concurrent TESDA-ARMM officer-in-charge, said applications for the two programs, specifically the Private Education Student Financial Assistance (PESFA) and Training for Work Scholarship (TWSP), are now open to the public. The scholarship programs are aimed at addressing equity and access by providing direct financial assistance to deserving enrollees. A total of 2,325 slots have been allocated under TWSP and 790 slots for PESFA. The TESDA central office has earmarked P25 million for the two scholarship programs in the region. The TWSP provides immediate interventions to meet the need for highly critical skills.

that are directly connected to existing jobs for immediate employment, both locally and overseas; and to build and strengthen the capacity and capability of TVET institutions in expanding and improving the delivery of quality, efficient and relevant training programs that meet job requirements, including programs for higher levels of technology. Target beneficiaries under this program include but not limited to the following: drug dependent surrenderers; out-of-school youths; those who are unemployed and underemployed; industry workers obtaining skills upgrading training programs; overseas Filipino workers and their dependents; basic and marginalized sectors; TVET trainers; and other targeted special groups. PESFA, on the other hand, offers educational grants to qualified and deserving college freshmen both in degree and non-degree courses. The program seeks to: Extend financial assistance to marginalized but deserving students in postsecondary non-degree courses; promote TVET; contribute to the development of a competent skilled workforce; and assist private institutions in their development efforts by assuring a
steady supply of enrollees to their course offerings. Under this program, beneficiaries must have completed at least 10 years of basic education; at least 15 years old at the start of the training; have taken the NCAE (National Career Assessment Examination); have an annual family income of not more than P300,000; must not be a recipient of any post-Grade 10 scholarship program; and must not have attended any post-secondary/college education program. In October 2016, during the launching of the antipoverty agenda of President Rodrigo Duterte, TESDA Director General Guiling Mamondiong said out-ofschool youths and drug surrenderers are given priority in training courses offered by the agency. “We are confident that these programs will help empower our people to become more productive members of society. These will give them opportunities through skills training that can either help them start a career, or a new business venture,” said the TESDA chief. To avail themselves of the scholarship programs, applicants may visit the TESDA training office in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao. (Bureau of Public Information)

HEALTH: Ubo ng Ubo: 17 Solusyon Payo ni Dr. Willie T. Ong ANG UBO ay puwedeng dahil sa trangkaso (flu), sipon, allergy, sigarilyo, pulmonya (pneumonia), namamagang tonsils at tuberculosis. Sa mga sakit na ito, ang pulmonya at tonsillitis ay nangangailangan inuman ng antibiotics. Ang tuberculosis naman ay ginagamot sa loob ng 6 na buwan. Subalit para sa pangkaraniwang sanhi ng ubo, heto ang dapat gawin: 1. Uminom ng 8 hanggang 10 basong tubig. Pinapalabnaw ng tubig ang madidikit na plema. 2. Uminom ng mainit na salabat o sabaw ng manok. Ang pag-inom ng mainit na sabaw ay nagpapaluwag ng mga tubo natin sa baga. 3. Itigil ang paninigarilyo. Umiwas sa mga bisyo. 4. Uminom ngVitamin C para lumakas ang ating immune system. 5. Uminom ng tsa-a na may honey at lemon. Mabisa ang honey sa pagkalma ng naiiritang lalamunan. Ang lemon ay may vitamin C. 6. Umiwas sa nakakaallergy na bagay. Maraming ubo ay allergy ang dahilan. Puwedeng magka-allergy sa usok, sa balahibo ng pusa at aso, sa matatapang na pabango, at sa pollen mula sa halaman. 7. Gamot para sa ubong may plema:
Dr. Willie T. Ong Puwedeng uminom ng mga gamot tulad ng carbocisteine, ambroxol at lagundi para lumabnaw ang plema. Ngunit huwag ganoong umasa sa mga ito. Tubig pa rin ang mas mabisa. 8. Gamot para sa tuyong ubo (dry cough): Para sa nakakaistorbong ubo, uminom ng butamirate citrate o dextromethorphan syrup. Kung allergy naman ang dahilan ng ubo, puwede and Diphenhydramine. 9. Ilabas ang sipon. Kung ika’y may sipon, suminga ng madalas para hindi tumulo ang sipon sa iyong lalamunan na puwedeng magdulot ng pagubo. 10. Umiwas sa mausok na lugar. Puwedeng sumakay sa mga air-con na bus at jeep. Huwag din gaanong maglakad sa lansangan. Umiwas sa mga taong naninigarilyo. 11. Lumanghap ng mainit at basang (moist) hangin. Pinapaluwag nito ang plema sa ating baga.
Puwede ka rin manatili sa banyo kung saan dumadaloy ang mainit na shower o gripo. Ang usok nito ay nagpapalabnaw ng iyong plema. Isa pang paraan ay ang paglanghap ng mainit na usok ng tubig sa ibabaw ng palanggana o kaldero. 12. Tingnan kung may iniinom kang gamot tulad ng Ace-inhibitor para sa altapresyon dahil puwede itong magdulot ng ubo. Ang Ace-inhibitor ay mga gamot na nagtatapos sa salitang “-pril,” tulad ng imidapril, enalapril, at iba pa. Itanong sa iyong doktor. 13. Gumamit ng 2 unan sa gabi. Kung may allergy ka o sipon, makatutulong ang paghiga na medyo mataas ang iyong ulo. 14. Gamutin ang pangangasim na sikmura. Puwede ding magdulot ng pag-ubo ang asido na galing sa sikmura. 15. Magpabakuna laban sa flu at pulmonya kung ika’y lampas sa edad 60. 16. Umiwas sa sakit. Kung ika’y may mga sakit na, tulad ng altapresyon at diabetes, umiwas sa nakapapagod na gawain at pagpunta sa mausok na lugar. 17. Magpahinga at matulog ng mahaba. Ito ang pinakamabisang payo sa lahat para maka-recover ang iyong katawan. Good luck po.

PHIVOLCS: Ayaw tuo sa pagpanghadlok sa social media kalabot sa ‘The Big One’ CEBU Subling gihimakak sa Philippine Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) nga sila ang nagpagawas sa impormasyon kalabot sa pag-igo sa “The Big One” o kusog nga linog dala sa paglihok sa West Valley Fault. Matud pa ni PHIVOLCS Director Renato Solidum, walay ni bisan kinsa ang makasaulti kun kanus-a mahitabo ang giingong linog tungod kay wala may saktong teknolohiya sa kalibotan nga makatagna kun unsang petsa ug asa mo-igo ang kusog nga pagtay-og.
Ang ila ra gayud mahimo mao ang pagpangandam sa mga earthquake scenarios nga may kalabotan sa mga mahimong epekto sa kusog nga linog aron magamit kini isip giya sa disaster preparedness. Gipasabot ni Solidum nga walay basehan ang mga nikatap nga impormasyon sa social media nga giingong hinimo sa usa ka grupo nga may gimugnang prediksyon base lamang sa paglinya sa mga planeta. Nasayran nga molihok ang fault line matag 400 hangtud 600 ka tuig diin
ang katapusang natalang linog nga dala niini niadto pang 1658 o 357 ka tuig na ang nakalabay. Samtang gipasabot usab ni Solidum nga dili pa basehan alang sa linog ang paggawas sa oarfish sa pipila ka parte sa Mindanao sa hinungdang wala pa’y igong pagtuon kalabot niini. Nipasidaan si Solidum sa mga netizens nga likayan ang pagpakatap sa mga sayop nga impormasyon sa social media tungod kay mahimo kining magmugna og kahadlok ug kabalaka sa publiko. (Elvira C.

Old bills still in circulation due for replacement until March 31 CEBU - Some P26 billion of New Design Series (NDS) or old banknotes are still in circulation which is due for replacement until March 31 this year. “This is the reason why the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) decided to extend the deadline for the exchange of NDS with New Generation Currency (NGC),” explained BSP Sr. Research Specialist Greg Baccay.
Baccay urged the public to replace the old bills before deadline at any authorized banks or BSP for this will have no monetary value starting April 1, 2017. He said the old bank notes which have not been exchanged shall no longer be valid and will be dem o n e t i z e d . Demonetization is done to protect the integrity of the country’s note currency. Filipinos working abroad who still have in their possession NDS
banknotes can register their banknote holdings at BSP’s website, Baccay said. "The NDS banknote exchange facility provided by the BSP shall be limited to P50,000 for each OFW," he added. Initially, the BSP scheduled demonetization of the NDS banknotes on Jan. 1 this year, but by April only the NGC, the banknote series launched in 2010, can be used for daily transactions. (Jennifer C.
