But as anyone who or ganized the Miss CDO pageant or any of the core fiesta events in years past knows by now, staging an event of such magnitude is no easy task. Several Facebook posts made by US-based Gean Tulang, a former ABS-CBN news director who also got in volved in organizing Miss CDO, should give city officials a sobering look into the challenges faced by organizers that would undoubtedly also confront whoever will be in charge of next year’s festivities.
To be fair, I won’t talk in length about the off-key singing as I agree with my friend Rhona Canoy who said it’s so trivial compared to issues like rising prices and the city’s crime situa tion. Yet Cabanlas raised quite the argument when he called for an investi gation into reports that the contestants received smaller prizes compared to previous year’scrackorganizersundoubtedlytheex’City(Sept.programorganizers.thefiestatheCabanlas*************pageants.alsofloatedproposaltosecurethefranchisebacktocityfromitspresentInhisradioairedonFriday9),CagayandeOroMayorRolando‘KlarUywasamenabletoproposalwhichwouldlureaspiringeagertogetaatmanagingnextfestivities.

Thus, as the eart6h is facing planetary destruction and humanity is facing annihila tion due to climate change and threats of nuclear war not to mention gross inequities and social injustices under the regime. Thus, after heating the cry of the poor and of the earth, with a strong faith and love, we must now manifest the truism that love heals. Such is in consonance with the biblical pronouncement in John 15: 12, “to love one another as God loves us” With such outpourings of love for the poor and for the earth, this time, it is our hope that the change will not just be in dates but in our social and spiritual consciousness mani fested through our collective actions for change! Remem ber – you are Consciousness even prior to taking a form (body). That Consciousness is life manifested in different forms – be humans, flowers, stars or galaxies. Life is sacred and we are all inter-connected. No fear of death. Conscious ness never dies being eternal. When Consciousness blooms, there will be a new heaven and a new earth, unfettered from the egoic mind, from an insane collective mindset that is killing the earth!

The first barrier to bonding with others is our painful past. We find it difficult to trust others because we have been deeply hurt by someone before, so we are afraid to open our heart to anyone again. We may not want to get close and share our real feelings with others because in the past we were criticized or even rejected for being open and honest. So now to protect ourselves from that possible pain, we do not let others know our true feelings and the person we really are inside.

The Miss Cagayan de Oro pageant was particu larly exciting because who wouldn’t want to see a young woman crowned as beauty queen? Especially if the young woman embod ied both beauty and brains, elegant yet down-to-earth relatable to Kagay-anons. So far I can remember one such Miss CDO beauty queen, Karen Lluch, whom I covered during my local media days in Cagayan de OroThenCity.there’s another Miss CDO winner, Hap py Ballesteros, who later married incumbent City Administrator Roy Hi lario Raagas. As the years went by, staging the Miss Cagayan de Oro beauty pageant became a lot more challenging as organizers sought to top every year’s competition in order to live up to public expectations which can only go higher despite limited resources.

is in one’s heart, time and space have no meaning for love transcends everything. Not even death can have power over that supreme force in the universe as the beloved is always carried in one’s heart, in one’s inner consciousness – forever.Forin truth, we are all embodied spirit (Conscious Awareness). The body is time-bounded, but the spirit (Consciousness) (who we really are) is not. And so, when we recognized our true selves – as beyond time and space – time becomes an il lusion. Thus, it is in this light that it behooves upon all of us to instill in ourselves those inner qualities – love, courage, kindness, patience, compassion, goodness – so as not to succumb to the whims and caprices of the time. From the mundane to the sublime. Truly, such is the most liberating process, free ing us from that fear of death that has no power over our Consciousness manifested through Perhaps,actions.itisthat kind of spirituality that goes with the new era which is now in the offing as taught to us by ancient wisdom based on the position of the earth in the cosmos.

Even if the world is constantly changing due to the introduction of e-books, online education, and various electronic devices, there are still some traditional ideas that guide how we learn.

To address the country’s growing power demand and ensure continuous, reliable and efficient power supply, there is a need to interconnect the three (3) major power grids of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao into a single national grid. Aside from the sharing of systems reserve, the interconnection will also help optimize utilization of indigenous energy resources such as natural gas in Luzon, geothermal in the Visayas and hydro in Mindanao. Owing to this necessity, plaintiff must immediately construct the transmission lines that will transmit power to distributors of electricity not only in Mindanao but also in Luzon and Visayas. This undertaking is for the use and benefit of the public and part of it is known as the MINDANAO-VISAYAS INTERCONNECTION PROJECT (MVIP), integral part of which is the KAUSWAGAN-LALA 230kV TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT (Project).

2. Pursuant to Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9511, plaintiff was granted a franchise to operate, manage and maintain, and in connection therewith, to engage in the business of conveying or transmitting electricity through a high-voltage back-bone system of interconnected transmission lines, substations and related facilities, systems operations, and other activities that are necessary to support the safe and reliable operation of a transmission system and to construct, install, finance, manage, improve, expand, operate, maintain, rehabilitate, repair and refurbish the present nationwide transmission system of the Republic of the Philippines.
1. Plaintiff is a private corporation created and existing under Philippine laws, with principal office address at NGCP Building, Quezon Avenue corner BIR Road, Diliman, Quezon City. It may be served with notices and other court processes through its Right-of-Way Department (ROWD) – Mindanao Division, Maria Cristina, Iligan City, copy furnished the aforementioned principal office.
8. Plaintiff intends to expropriate portion of a parcel of registered land identified as Lot No. B-1, PSD-12-032223 situated in Brgy. Princesa, Baroy, Lanao del Norte. The said property is registered and declared in the name of the late Ignacio Cañizares, per Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) No. T-23,500 and Tax Declaration No. H-150152 (03), respectively. It is more particularly described below together with the affected area sought to be expropriated consisting of 149 square meters, as shown in the attached Sketch Plan and Technical Descriptions, to wit:

18. Moreover, it must be emphasized that an expropriation proceeding is an action quasi in rem, wherein the fact that the owners of the property are made parties is not essentially indispensable insofar as it concerns the immediate taking of possession of the property and the preliminary determination of its value, including the amount to be deposited.
17. In a long line of cases and OCA Circular No. 113-2019, once the above requirements are complied with it, it becomes the ministerial duty of the trial court to issue the writ of possession in favor of the plaintiff, without need of any further hearing. Therefore, the Honorable Court can already immediately issue to the plaintiff an order to take possession of the portion of the property and start the implementation of the project.
6. The said MVIP of NGCP is the first project certified by the Department of Energy (DOE) as an Energy Project of National Significance (EPNS) pursuant to R.A. 7638 of DOE Act of 1992, as amended, entitled to all the rights and privileges provided under Executive Order No. 30, series of 2017, as evidenced by the Certification dated 8 May 2018 issued by the Energy Investment Coordinating Council. Hence, the immediate completion and energization of the said project is critically important.

Pathfinder Development Corporation cases emphasizes the mandatory issuance of the writ of possession upon the receipt of the required deposit. “No hearing is actually required for the issuance of a writ of possession, which demands only two (2) requirements: (a) the sufficiency in form and substance of the complaint; and, (b) the required provisional deposit x x x x Upon compliance with these requirements, the petitioner in an expropriation case is entitled to a writ of possession as a matter of right and the issuance of the writ becomes ministerial.” (Emphasis supplied)
17. Upon deposit of the provisional amount, plaintiff would have fully complied with the requirements for the issuance of a writ of possession as mandated by law.
19. Moreover, it must be emphasized that an expropriation proceeding is an action quasi in rem, wherein the fact that the owners of the property are made parties is not essentially indispensable insofar as it concerns the immediate taking of possession of the property and the preliminary determination of its value, including the amount to be deposited.

However, with a strong attitude of positivity and optimism, everything is indeed attainable.
