Gov. Sol Matugas retains Caraga Regional Development Council Chairperson post by Sherwin E. Verdun, NEDA-Caraga
Gov. Sol Matugas, Surigao del Norte, retained her post as Chairperson of the Caraga Regional Development Council (RDC) serving her second term. President Benigno Aquino III reappointed Matugas on May 16, 2014 to serve for two years coinciding with her regular term as a local elective official. Matugas served as the Caraga RDC Chairperson from 2011-2013. Under her leadership, the “One Caraga” theme was adopted to encourage convergence of efforts and resources from among Caraganons. During her term, Caraga’s poverty incidence among families declined from 46% in 2009 to 31.9% in 2012. The GRDP growth rate was among the highest in the country: 8.5% in 2010-2011 (highest) and 10.6% in 2011 -2012 (second highest). With this new mandate, Matugas is pressed to do greater and better things for Caraga. More importantly the achievement of the region’s goal to be the FAME (Fishery, AgroForestry, Mineral, Eco-
Tourism) Center of the Philippines is a continuing challenge that will be addressed by developing the region’s abundant resources in fishery, agriculture, forestry, mineral, and ecotourism. The said subsectors are the growth drivers of the region’s economy. To achieve the region’s goal, Matugas laid out her plan for the next eight Caraga RDC Full Council Meetings. Each meeting will be anchored on a chapter of the Caraga Regional Development Plan and will have the following theme: 1. Transparent and responsive governance restores and builds public confidence and promotes economic development. 2. Accelerating infrastructure development as the backbone of Caraga Region’s inclusive growth and poverty reduction. 3. Building the resilience of Caraga’s communities through disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. 4. Improving the productivity and competitiveness of

Capacitated, empowered and globally-competitive Caraganons in this increasingly complex and modern world. A peaceful, orderly and stable Caraga: the key to combating chronic and inter-generational poverty and sustaining economic growth.

THPAL processes the existing low-grade nickel ore using the high-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) technology producing mixed sulfides of Nickel and Cobalt. The mixed sulfides are then shipped to Niihama Nickel Refinery of Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd in Japan and are refined to electrolytic nickel and cobalt.
The plant is powered by a 48MW coal-fired boiler and turbine generator. Its water supply is taken from the Taganito River through a water intake facility that collects water and distributes it throughout the plant. The plant has a tailings dam to safely and adequately hold the mine residue. The dam has a bentonite (clay) wall to prevent possible leaking. After treatment, the wastewater is pumped to the sea. The plant placed a fish cage of ketong as bioindicator to validate the safety of the wastewater.

What is the Revised Caraga RDP Communication Plan? The Communication Plan is our guide in ensuring that the goal of the Caraga Regional Development Plan (RDP) is received, understood, and acted upon by the target audiences. It contains the communication objectives, strategies, messages, and channels. What is the Communication Objective? The general communication objective is to communicate to the people of Caraga that the Regional Development Plan (RDP) is the blueprint to attain high and sustained economic growth, increased job opportunities, sound environment, and improved quality of life. This objective is based on our desired outcomes as articulated in the Revised Caraga Regional Development Plan 2013-2016. Who are the target audiences? The target audiences are the constituents of Caraga. But we also target specific groups of people that will play a vital role in communicating the goal of the Caraga Regional Development Plan such as civil society organizations, nongovernmental organization, people’s organizations, and private sector. Further, we will partner with the local government units for the advocacy and communication at the local level. Furthermore, we will tie up with the regional line agencies and academe to mainstream advocacy and communication at the agency and academe levels.
How do we attain the objective? We will realize the main communication objective of the Communication Plan by following the process of behavior change framework where we acknowledge that our target audiences are in different levels of knowledge when it comes to the Caraga Regional Development Plan. Further, we will employ proven communication tools to appropriately communicate the goal of the Caraga Regional Development Plan. The process of behavior change suggests that the knowledge and behavior towards the Caraga Regional Development Plan is not the same for all of the target audiences. There are audiences who do not know anything about the Caraga Regional Development Plan. There are also audiences who know a little but there are also those who know so much that they can advocate. Thus, the communication objectives and activities are created specifically for a particular behavior change step. This is done to appropriately identify communication efforts for a particular behavior to change rather than treat everyone at the same level. For each behavior change step, we have formulated specific communication objectives. For awareness, we want to increase the level of awareness from our audience by recalling specific messages, understand the meaning of messages, and know the benefits of knowing

the contents of the Regional Development Plan and its sources of information. For approval, we want to impart knowledge to our target audience by letting them respond favorably to messages and discusses messages to family, friends, relatives, neighbors, and co-workers. For intention, we want to increase participation from our target audiences by letting them recognize the benefits of supporting the Regional Development Plan and subsequently ask for more information. For practice, we want to see FAME-related industries created and that individuals, institutions, and communities are supporting Caraga’s goal of becoming the fishery, agroforestry, mining, and ecotourism center of the Philippines.
Intention Conduct Search for Outstanding LGUinitiated RDP/CDP Advocacy Practice RDP champions Annual presentation of the Regional Development Report to sectoral committees Advocacy Linkage with the Association of Government Development Advocates Capacity Building Tie-up with the Private Sector Representatives Establish network with Business Chambers Revitalize the League of Local Planners
Finally, for advocacy, we want to mobilize our partners to become advocates in their individual offices, communities, and schools. From setting the objectives, we come to the tools that we will use to achieve each specific communication objective. We will employ two communication strategies that have been widely used by international organizations such as UNICEF, FAO, and WHO. One, is social mobilization to engage and motivate a wide range of partners and allies to raise awareness of and facilitate
change. Second, is social marketing or the development and integration of marketing concepts to influence behavior change. What is the key message? The key message is, “Be the agent of change.� We want everyone to do significant things in whatever they do. And, become agents of change for others to follow and emulate. What media will we use? We will use every applicable media to deliver the message. To cater to different communication needs of the target audiences, we will use audio-visual materials, billboards, leaflets, brochures, newsletters, posters, dvd, audio clips, and social media. What are the proposed activities? We propose several activities for each behavior change step. For awareness, we will conduct activities that will motivate the target audiences to participate. Thus, the proposed activities comprise mostly of contests. For the rest of the behavior change steps, we will conduct activities that will provide avenue for influencers to model their behaviors, provide resources and support to raise individual confidence, and provide incentives and rewards for the behaviors. Thus, we propose activities for organizations or groups, which may serve as influencers.

as the resource speaker given the agency’s expertise on coconut by-products.
This was the common reaction from over 100 participants, mostly women, during the Department of Trade and Industry-Dinagat Islands Field Office’s Business Opportunity Seminar on Coco Sugar Granules Production last March 31, 2014 at the Provincial Guest Center, San Jose, Province of Dinagat Islands (PDI).

Engr. Angelita Espinosa, Senior Agriculturist II of Philippine Coconut Authority-Surigao del Norte (PCA-SDN), was tapped
She also stressed that the availability of coco sap in the province and the relatively uncomplicated process of sugar granules extraction makes coco sugar production an ideal enterprise for women who are
looking for additional household income. DTI-PDI also took the opportunity to inform the participants of the agency’s programs which are aimed to support existing associations and cooperatives in increasing their production output and income through the provision of relevant tools and equipment under the Shared Service Facility Project (SSF) expanding their market potentials through product development, product labeling and branding, and trade fair participation.

Help prevent birth defects - use iodized salt by Michael Serafico, FNRI-DOST S&T Media Service Iodine deficiency disorder (IDD), which can start before birth, is the world’s principal cause of preventable mental development disorders in young children. This can lead to poor school performance and reduced work capacity. Implicated in stillbirth, iodine deficiency also causes spontaneous abortion, congenital abnormalities and thyroid dysfunction. As such, it is crucial particularly among pregnant and lactating women to get adequate levels of iodine. Based on the 2008 National Nutrition Survey conducted by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST), the prevalence of IDD was 25.7% among pregnant women and 34.0% among nursing mothers. This was based on urinary iodine excretion of less than 50 micrograms per liter (¾g/L). Iodine deficiency disorder can easily be prevented by consuming foods that naturally contain iodine. This includes fish, seafood, seaweeds, some drinking water depending on the
iodine content of the source, and vegetables grown in iodine sufficient soil. However, the same survey showed that the list of 30 food items commonly consumed by pregnant and lactating women had little contributions to their daily iodine intake. One of the best and least expensive methods of preventing iodine deficiency disorder is simply iodizing table salt, which is currently done in many countries. Salt iodization represents one of the easiest and most cost-effective interventions for social and economic development. Yet, data also shows that only 15% of Filipino households surveyed used iodized salt despite the promulgation of the ASIN Law (or An Act for Salt Iodization Nationwide) in 1995.
The revised 2012 Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos (NGF) includes as one of its recommendations the use of iodized salt to prevent IDD. The NGF is a compilation of simple statements that give advice on the consumption of foods and food components for which there are public health concerns. Establishment of an effective monitoring system to ensure the quality of iodized salt at the production and retail sites can help attain optimal iodine nutrition especially among pregnant and lactating mothers. The Universal Salt Iodization (USI) program and other measures like health education should be highlighted and enforced to sustain elimination of IDD.

2013 Caraga Regional Economic Situationer Overview of the Economy Economic development by harnessing Fishery, AgroForestry, Mineral and Ecotourism (FAME) has been the long-term goal of Caraga Region to attain inclusive growth and reduce poverty. For the last three years, the region has been demonstrating strong economic performance with the industry sector, particularly construction and mining and quarrying contributing significantly. On output basis, there is a slight contraction in the overall performance of the agriculture sector in 2013 due to the decrease in livestock and fishery subsectors’ production by 6.11 percent and 1.38 percent,
respectively. On the other hand, the forestry sub-sector exhibited an upturn in its production outputs by 112.82 percent. About 98 percent of the timber production in Caraga Region was supplied by private plantation, which grew by 115.04 percent. On trade, a reduction of 8.25 percent in domestic sales was noted. From PhP458.86 Million in 2012 to PhP500.12 in 2013. The number of new business names registered improved by 5.67 percent from 5,768 in 2012 to 6,095 in 2013. The mining and quarrying sub-sector continues to be the dominant source of exports; it posted a 9.98
percent increase in the mineral exports value from PhP33.15 Billion in 2012 to PhP29.84 Billion in 2013. Foreign export throughput rose sharply by 761.37 percent, as it comprised mainly of shipments of nickel and chromite ores and some agricultural produce like banana, oil palm kernel, mango and coconut by-products. Moreover, the wood-based industry continued to have a significant role in the region’s economy. The region has been producing wood-based manufactured products, which include veneer, plywood, blackboard and lumber. In 2013, total outputs of these manufactured products

reached 774,509.48 cu. m., representing a 34.63 percent increase over the previous year’s figure. As to services, the region’s total assets rose by 11.85 percent from PhP 31,195.21 Million to PhP 34,385.03 between December 2012 to June 2013. The rural and cooperative banks had the biggest contribution reaching 76.62 percent of the total assets. However, total operating income declined by 43.55 percent from PhP 2,020.21 Million in December 2012 to PhP 1,140.40 Million in June 2013. Furthermore, the tourism industry continues to be a lucrative venture in Caraga Region. Tourist

arrivals grew by 15.73 percent from 744,647 in 2012 to 861,767 in 2013. Moreover, a significant decline in the region’s poverty incidence was noted from 46 percent in 2009 to 31.9 percent in 2012. While labor force participation increased by 1.94 percentage points in 2013, employment contracted by 0.44 percentage points and underemployment grew by 2.98 percentage points. The region has a manageable inflation rate of 3.82 percent in 2013, which represents a reduction of 0.56 percentage in the 2012 figure of 4.38 percent. Prices of basic commodities
generally increased. Price of alcoholic beverages and tobacco increased sharply by 30.37 percent from P157.40 in 2012 to P205.2 in 2013. The implementation of Republic Act No. 10351, otherwise known as the “Sin Tax Law,” has significant effect on the said group of commodities. As the region’s economy grows, developments are expected to happen in the areas of power, agriculture, education, banking and finance, social, realties and recreation, malls and food services.

Key Labor Statistics, Caraga, 2012-2013 2012 2013 Labor Force 65.23 66.50 Participation Rate Employment Rate 94.35 93.93 Unemployment Rate 5.65 6.08 Underemployment Rate 24.15 27.13 Source: NSO
A. Labor and Employment The region’s labor force slightly increased by 1.94 percentage points from 65.23 percent in 2012 to 66.50 percent in 2013. The increase was attributed to the increasing population of the working age group between 15 to 64. On the other hand, employment rate contracted by 0.44 percentage points from 94.35 in 2012 percent to 93.93 in 2013. According to DOLE, the slight decline in employment rate was
attributed to the displacement of some workers in the agriculture sector, which was affected by the occurrence of calamities in the region. Hence, unemployment rate increased from 5.65 percent in 2012 to 6.08 percent in 2013. On the other hand, underemployment rate increased from 24.15 percent to 27.13 percent, which show that close to one-third of the people in the labor force want to work more.
As of July 2013, the services sector employed 48% of the region’s workforce for an 539,000 employed persons. The agriculture and fishery sector followed with 35% of the total or about 399,000 employed. The industry sector employed 17% or 194,000 persons. In the mining industry, a total of 20,363 jobs were generated in 2013 which is 8.15 percent more than the previous year’s figure. The jobs were generated from

Purchasing Power of Peso, 2013
Philsaga Mining Corp., Platinum Group Metals Corp., and Carrascal Nickel Corp. B. Consumer Price Index and Inflation The year 2013 showed a fluctuating inflation rate signifying unstable price levels of basic commodities and services. Inflation averaged at 3.82 percent with Surigao del Sur recording the highest inflation rate during the year of 5.1 percent.
Consumer Price Index, 2012-2013
The average Consumer Price Index (CPI) level for 2013 increased to PhP147.86 from PhP142.43 in 2012. This indicates that the prices of consumer goods and services generally increased. Among the commodity group, the Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco marked an overwhelming price increase from PhP157.4 in 2012 to PhP205.20 in 2013 or about 30.37 percent increase. This is due to the implementation of Republic
Act No. 10351 known as the “Sin Tax Law� that took effect on January 01, 2013. Consumer Prices Index Level was seen to be high in the province of Surigao del Sur at Php165.70 and followed by Agusan del Norte at PhP138.90. Consequently, the Purchasing Power of Peso (PPP) in all provinces in Caraga declined. With the decreasing PPP, goods and services purchased by the Caraganons becomes even more expensive and limited.
