‘VolunTurismo’ needed for Siargao Island rehab

By ANTONIO L. COLINA IV, MindaNews

HE Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) is set to launch next month “VolunTurismo,” a project that seeks to bring in thousands of tourists to Siargao Island to aid in its economic recovery and rehabilitation efforts after it was ravaged by Super Typhoon Odette in December 2021.

Adrian Tamayo, MinDA public relations head, said that the project aims to encourage more volunteer tourists to come to the island and extend support to the locals months after the super typhoon wreaked havoc in

their communities. The soft launch is scheduled on May 5, he said. “The aim is to encourage tourists, as volunteer tourists, to visit Siargao and enjoy the waves and the See TOURISTS, page 11

Religious group protest arrest of suspected NPA finance officer by JOEL CALAMBA ESCOL, Managing Editor

Filipina Independiente (IFI), together with the United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) have protested the arrest of a certain Aldeem A. Yañez by the joint elements of the See OUTREACH, page 11 military and police operatives. The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) arrested Yañez on April 10, 2022 by virtue of a warrant of arrest issued by the court. The Mindanao Bishops Conference of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente (IFI) and the United Church of Christ in the Philippines has also condemned the alleged continuing church persecution highlighted by SKILLS FOR PEACE. 2nd PMFC Force Commander PLt.

The church group claimed Yañez is an active IFI church worker known to many people within the ecumenical circle in advocating for a just and peaceful society. “He grew up in a family of religious background actively participating in the life and ministry of the church, with two of his siblings serving as ordained ministers,” the group said in a statement. According to the church leaders, Yañez was vilified for years, together with other church leaders such as the Obispo Maximo Rhee M. Timbang, Mindanao Bishops, and Lay Workers, by troll accounts using the name “Iglesia Filipina Independiente Kontra Komunista Movement”. See PROTEST, page 11

TESDA arms ‘Balik Probinsya’ beneficiaries with livelihood skills By LADE JEAN KABAGANI

The government’s “Balik Probinsya, Bagong Pag-Asa (BP2)” program just got better with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) offering scholarships on vocational courses for applicants. Qualified BP2 beneficiaries can enroll in such courses as Ships Catering Service National Certificate (NC) III, Cookery NC II, Driving NC II, Massage Therapy NC II, Electronics Products Assembly NC II, Organic Agriculture Pro-

duction NC II, Electrical Installation and Maintenance NC II, and Shielded Metal Arc Welding NC I. “The training programs can be availed (of ) by the beneficiaries if these are offered by the TTIs (TESDA Technology Institutions) or TVIs (Technical Vocational Institutions) in their areas,” TESDA told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) in a text message during a recent dispatch procedure for BP2 beneficiaries. President Rodrigo Duterte signed Executive Order 114 on May 6, 2020 to institutionalize the BP2 pro-

gram, which aims to reverse the continuing migration of the rural population to Metro Manila and decongest the region by encouraging applicants, especially informal settlers, to return to their home provinces. TESDA, a member of the BP2 Council, said the beneficiaries could apply the skills training in the transition to their new lives. Parida Macmod, 47, is among the successful TESDA beneficiaries who underwent a 30-day training on animal production in December 2020. For 10 years, Macmod

lived in Tandang Sora, Quezon City until the pandemic left her unemployed. She decided to return to her hometown in the Soccsksargen Region through the BP2. “The ruminant training helped me and the trainer motivated me to become an entrepreneur,” Macmod said in an interview. She accepted the challenge. “I am raising animals for meat and milk production until the day that I can (sell) the products,” she said. The National Housing See TESDA, page 11

‘There is a battle outside and it is ragin!’ “Come senators, congressmen/ Please heed the call/ Don’t stand in the doorway/ Don’t block up the hall/ For he that gets hurt/ Will be he who has stalled/ There’s a battle outside/ And it is ragin’/ It’ll soon shake your windows/ And rattle your walls/ For the times they are a changin’.” These are the opening lines of the song, “The Times They are A-Changin’,” popularized by Bob Dylan, an American folk singer, who together with antiwar activists spearheaded a movement against the USA’s imperialistic engagement in Vietnam in the 60’s. Who would believe that after sixty years, the song would still be relevant, this time however, it is one to remind our legislators to take heed of the call of the people, not to support the prevailing elitist rule and never again to misuse the billions of pork barrel funds as exemplified by the Napoles scandal. Yes, there is a battle out there and it is raging. This time, in the Philippine context, it is a war against dehumanizing poverty that is perpetuated by the culture of corruption and greed, reinforced by the apathetic attitude of the people who

are rendered powerless all these years. Suddenly, there is now the dawning of a new day as the people are now undergoing a process of “conscientization,” an awakening process where the people have finally realized that social change cannot be had out of the “kindness” of the powers-that-be but only through their collective power, meaningful participation and continuing vigilance. Without people’s participation, all the outpourings of so-called development programs will just be palliatives and cannot be the solution. The people are now awakened to the painful truism that for those who have dreamt, sacrificed and even died for it, social change has been so illusive all these years as the systems and structures breeding poverty and corruption are still as formidable as ever. The billions if not trillions of pesos allocated all these years to somehow alleviate poverty to draw those in the margins into the mainstream of development process have not at all made a dent to improve the quality of life of the poor. Those gargantuan funds allocated under the Priority

Orlan R. Ravanera

Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) apparently just went to the pockets of deceitful legislators, some of whom have the guts to run again as candidates. Confucius once said, “If we focus our attention to the finger that is pointing to the stars, we will miss the beauty of the universe.” Yes, while we decry the misuse of billions of pesos, let us instead opt to start the conscientization process on these structures and systems that have given way to the deceitful and hideous commission of crimes by those in power. That being, we will have a full realization on why our country has been described by the Asian Development Bank as the “poorest in Asia.” We were so angry a decade or so ago upon knowing that some ten billion pesos were pocketed by a few greedy “ghost” nongovernment organizations (NGOs) but allowed the mindless exploitation of our natural resources through the massive connivance of the cabal of vested interest, politicians and law enforcers in full defiance of the rule of law.

Letters from Davao

The beneficiary of plots and counterplots THE press conference c a l le d by president i a l aspirants Isko Moreno, Ping Lacson, and Norberto Gonzales turned out to be the exact opposite of the general expectations. The presumption was that these presidentiables will have change of heart, let go of their aspirations and throw their support behind second placer Leni Robredo to overcome the lead of Bongbong Marcos. What would have been the most dramatic political show in this year’s electoral derby was in fact an autopsy of the character of Leni Robredo and expose’ of the serpentine agenda of her political alliance if she is defeated in her quest for the presidency as in “magkaroon ng gulo” (there will be trouble). Is this the reason why for the nth time she changed the logo of the Liberal Party from Yellow to pink and now with yellow, pink, a dash of green, and screaming red? The three presidential candidates made public their stand that none of them is withdrawing from the race. Manny Pacquiao who was in General Santos City made known his stand

in a conversation with Tito Sotto that he is one with the group in not withdrawing from the race. What prompted the joint press conference is the persistent speculation on social media that Lacson, Moreno, Gonzales, and Pacquiao will eventually give up the fight and support Leni. Now it turns out that the last person they would give way to is Leni. The Leni defenders were quick to raise the gender issue as the trio was ganging up on the pink lady making her appear as an underdog. Actually, if we were to believe the confession of the three presidentiables, they had their fill of Leni’s importunities for them to withdraw and support her to defeat BBM. Lacson for one bared that former Quezon City Mayor Jun Simon had been bugging him in favor of Leni, an issue which Robredo’s camp already denied claiming Simon is not authorized to speak for Leni. Lacson has countered this saying the crux of it all is “who benefits from the call for his withdrawal?’’. This means while the Vice

Jun Ledesma

President may not have said it herself, the indubitable fact is that she was the cited beneficiary. Lacson raised how Robredo preyed on Partido Reporma and how he was unceremoniously jettisoned from the party over money matters. For his part, Isko Moreno recalled how often was he sought after by people identified with Leni for him to make a supreme sacrifice by withdrawing from the race and support Leni. Obviously, Isko was hurting over the shift of some of his leaders in Manila and Cebu to the camp of Robredo. An infuriated Yorme proposed that instead, it should be Leni to make the supreme sacrifice because her numbers in the surveys are not improving. The three presidential aspirants pointed out that there is no such thing as 60% Marcos loyalists behind BBM. That it is the peoples’ antagonism of the “dilawan” which VP Leni represents that makes See PLOTS, page 9

‘Filipinnovation’ showcases innovative products, services in Normin by GABRIEL D. ANDRES

C A G AYA N D E O R O CITY—In recognition of the accomplishments and progress in the region’s innovation ecosystem, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA)-10 and Department of Science and Technology (DOST)-10, together with other partner agencies, the business sector and academe launched this year’s Northern Mindanao Regional Innovation Day dubbed ‘Filipinnovation: Unlocked’ at SM City

Cagayan de Oro, April 21. The two-day (April 2122) Filipinnovation exhibit showcases several products, services, and stories of resiliency and innovation from the region’s micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and tech startups. “Innovation is a vital component of our national development and economic growth. It is inclusive as it can lead to social and economic transformation both in the developed and underdeveloped areas of the country,” Department of Trade and Industry Misa-

mis Oriental (DTI MisOr) Provincial Director Almer Masillones said, reminding the public of the significance of innovation in a country’s development. For her part, NEDA-10 Regional Director Mylah Faye Aurora Cariño recognized the creativity of Filipinos during the COVID-19 health crisis in the past years, citing new ideas and innovations that have surfaced and helped address specific issues and challenges. “Daghan nanggawas nga mga maayo nga ideas

Pag-IBIG home loan releases reach record-high P24.2B in Q1 2022, up 16% Pag-IBIG Fund released a record-high P24.20 billion in home loans during the first quarter of 2022, an increase of P3.26B or 16% compared to the P20.94 billion released during the same period in 2021, its top officials announced, April 21. “We are happy to report that we have again posted a record-high in home loan releases in the first three months of 2022. Our strong start this year means that more Filipino workers have been helped by Pag-IBIG Fund in acquiring their own homes,” said Sec. Eduardo D. del Rosario, who heads the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development and the 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees. He said the sustained growth in the home loan disbursements also contributes to the economy, as the fund continues to help its members and the country recover from the pandemic. Del Rosario added that the amount of home loans released by the agency during the first quarter enabled 22,210 members to acquire

their own homes, a 7% increase from the 20,712 members helped during the same period in 2021. He further added that out of the total amount, P1.78 billion were released as socialized home loans benefitting 4,114 Pag-IBIG Fund members belonging to the minimum-wage and lowincome sectors. Meanwhile, Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Acmad Rizaldy P. Moti noted that the agency’s performance at the start of the year is a continuance of its record-high achievement in 2021 when the agency surpassed P100 billion in home loan releases. “After coming off a recordsetting 2021 with P100.8 billion in home loans released, we have yet again set another record-high in housing loan takeouts for the first quarter of 2022. Our performance in the housing loan front is an indication of the trust of our members in our programs,” said Moti. More importantly, their record-high numbers show the increasing number of Filipino workers that the fund

has enabled to have homes of their own. He added that it is their aim to keep loan interest rates low and help more Filipinos become homeowners. “That is the Lingkod Pag-IBIG way.” (Pag-IBIG/PIA-10)

The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA)-10 in partnership with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST)-10, Department of Trade and Industry, Oro Chamber, Department of Information and Communications Technology and the academe launch the ‘Filipinnovation: Unlocked’, a two-day celebration of the National Innovation Days in recognition of the milestones of the region’s innovation ecosystem, at SM City CDO, April 21.

to address [the] needs that came out because of the pandemic (Many new ideas arose because of the pandemic, ),” Cariño said. The ‘Filipinnovation’ event and exhibit is a joint effort of NEDA-10, DTI MisOr, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST)-10, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT)-10, the Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and state universities in northern Mindanao.

State of education By SHIRLEY D. LAURILLA Teacher III Bonbon Elementary School

EDUCATION is a powerful driver of development and is one of the strongest instruments for reducing poverty and improving health, gender equality, peace and stability. Although there has been great progress in the last decade, many more children attend schools and girls’ education has markedly improved, 124 million children are still out of primary and lower secondary school and 250 million cannot read or write although many have been to school. Education has large, consistent returns in terms of income and counters widening inequality but this potential is too often unrealized due to alarmingly low leaning levels. Providing all children with a quality education that teaches

them skills for work is critical to end poverty by 2030. One of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals is education. Researchers Eric Hanushek and Ludger Woessman argue that the most important determinant of economic growth is the knowledge capital of nations which they define as the aggregate skills of the country’s population and which they measure by achievement scores on international mathematics and science examinations. This argument indicates that the importance of the education goal should be elevated because achieving it would provide the resources to reduce poverty, to improve health and to provide for inclusive growth that lessens inequality within and between countries.

Sat-Sun, April 23-24, 2022

DO Unibank, Inc. (BDO) posted a 13% year-on-year (YoY) increase in net income to P11.7 billion for the 1Q 2022, driven by the Bank’s core businesses. Loan portfolio rose by 7% to P2.4 trillion on strong demand from corporate borrowers, the recovery in the middle market, and the resilience of the consumer segment. Deposits went up to P2.8 trillion driven by the 11% YoY increase in Current Account/ Savings Account (CASA) deposits, now

comprising ~86% of total deposits. This resulted in net interest income of P33.9 billion, 6% higher than a yearago. Non-interest income increased by 9% to P16.7 billion, driven by fees and insurance premiums. Trading and forex gains were in line with normalized business levels. Operating expense (OPEX) growth was manageable at 3% YoY to P31.8 billion. Asset quality continued to improve with NPL ratio down to 2.72% from

2.81% last year. The Bank maintained its conservative credit and provisioning policy with provisions at P3.7 billion compared to P2.9 billion a year-ago, resulting in higher NPL coverage at 120.8% Total capital base strengthened to P429.9 billion, with the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Ratio both increasing to 14.6% and 13.5%, respectively, comfortably above regulatory minimum.

BDO’s Return on Common Equity (ROCE) for the 1Q 2022 increased to 11.09% from 10.56% in the same period last year. The Bank’s Book Value per common share rose to P96.47 as of end-March 2022 for a 7% year-onyear growth. BDO’s sustained earnings performance, robust business franchise, and solid capital base place the Bank in a good position for long-term sustainable growth.

Key highlights are: Core businesses maintain their growth momentum, and Asset quality improves with economic reopening and increased mobility

Upskilling Teachers Pedagogical Strategies to Improve Learners Performance By: CHERRY ROSE P. ALIWATE Teacher III Napaliran Elementary School

The global and phenomenal occurrence of the COVID 19 pandemic alters the landscape of education. This incidence provides opportunities to the teachers to upskill their pedagogical skills to suit the needs of the learners. Distance learning is the trend of education today. For almost two years, this strategy of teaching and learning is used to continue education amidst pandemic. Teachers have encountered several issues and challenges. One of the issues is the lack of the skills of teachers in implementing blended teaching. In the distance learning,

the greater approach applied is on using self-learning modules. However, teachers did not settle only on using self-learning modules. Applying blended learning enable the teachers to explore other teaching strategies such as using radio and television-based instruction. Asynchronous and synchronous teaching methods are also maximized through online and offline set-up. Today, teachers are more skillful in creating video lessons. The impact of digital videos on everyday culture is apparent. Learners are more visual and arouse their interest on lesson

plays on video. They are opted using educational videos as a tool for learning everything from basic skills. Teachers also navigate on different websites to gather references to supplement the lesson. Surfing on different webs upskills the teacher’s computer literacy. Despite the challenges encountered during pandemic, but these challenges have turned into opportunities to maximize the potential of the teachers to keep abreast of the current educational trend of education. With the different trainings provided by the Department of Education, the teachers are already equipped with the several pedagogical strategies to provide learners quality education.

Life Skills Education Curriculum: Building Block for a Dynamic Citizen By: OLIVER G. JANUBAS District ALS Coordinator DepEd, Claveria Central

In every learning institution, a prominent technique for prevention and health promotion is to strengthen life skills. Its goal is to equip learners with the skills they need to deal well with the challenges of everyday life by strengthening self-control, making informed decisions, and developing supportive social relationships. It should be known that youth is a time when one’s intellectual, Publication Notice R.A. 10172

physical, social, emotional, and other talents are very high but unfortunately, most teenagers are unable to reach their full potential for so many reasons. They are confronted with numerous emerging issues such as global warming, famines, poverty, suicide, and population explosion, as well as other issues such as alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, smoking, juvenile delinquency, anti-social behavior, and so on, all of which have a significant negative impact on them and others. Education is vital but education to support and improve one’s quality of life is even more so. Life skills education is thought to bridge the gap between basic

functioning and capacity. It improves an individual’s ability to fulfill the needs and demands of today’s society and assists in coping with the above challenges in a way that makes desired behavior a reality. Furthermore, inculcating life skill education and imparting life skill training will help youth in overcoming such challenges in life and to know the importance of life skills education and the advantages of including it in our curriculum such as developing social, emotional, and cognitive skills in every learner as these are essential building blocks for a dynamic citizen who can face future challenges towards global competitiveness.

Battle... from page 4

Yes, w here have a l l the 17 million hectares of natural forest gone? Gone to loggers everyone. Yes, w here have ll the minerals gone? Gone to miners especially Chinese everyone. Why do we allow our agricultural lands to b e b ombarded with toxic chemicals that are already banned internationally? Why do we allow foreign corporations to wantonly exploit our natural resources with utter disregard for nature and the welfare of the coming generations? It is very painful to know that billions if not trillions of pesos have been lost because a few cannot moderate their greed, but it is lethal for a country to lose its ecological security, exposing all of us to ecological disasters. Don’t you know that our country is the 4th hardest hit country in the world by climate change as tens of thousands have already lost their homes and their lives in just one flooding alone? The awakened people must not just focus on how to stop corruption but on the laws that have been enacted or being legislated. Are these laws creating the right policy environment for sustainable and socially-inclusive development, for equity, for social justice or just to serve the interest of car tels, cong lomerates and monopolies? There are l aws t hat must b e enacted as called by the 1987 Constitution such as one to stop political

dynasties but until now such legal measure cannot be passed. Yes, there is a battle out there and it is raging and our senators and congressmen must prove equal to the task by way of enacting laws to democratize wealth and power, to erase the ugly faces of social injustices in this country. If social change cannot be had through legislation, then let us all be reminded of a social warning that says, “when a few elite will have much too much and the many who are poor have much too little, then we might face circumstances horrible even to contemplate? Are you still wondering why there is armed struggle and violent extremism? Yes, “it will shake your windows and rattle your walls, for the times they are a-changin’.” Believe me, social transformation is now hovering over the land towards a sociallyequitable and ecologically sustainable kind of development where money will be used not to make more money but to enhance the well-being of the people.

BBM a better option. Isko explained that if Leni withdraws then the electorates will have an option different from what the dilawans have. This feud among the adversaries of the UniTeam will radically alter the election scenario. Talking of beneficiaries, one thing is certain -- BBM and Sara are the happy pair that will reap the gains and the spoils in the aftermath.

PLDT Enterprise is enabling Cagayan de Oro Water District to improve its water delivery services.

PLDT powers Cagayan de Oro City Water District

LDT Enterprise, the B2B arm of the country’s largest integrated telecommunications company PLDT, has enabled the Cagayan de Oro City Water District (COWD) with digital solutions to further improve its water delivery services. With more than 100,000 service connections in Cagayan de Oro City and in other parts of the province of Misamis Oriental, monitoring water pressure and flow used

to be a challenge to COWD. Through high-speed internet, mobile data, and SMS services, COWD has made the digital shift to improve its operational efficiency, with the help of PLDT and its wireless unit Smart Communications. COWD General Manager Engr. Bienvenido V. Batar, Jr. shared, “We started from the physical checking of water pressure by stationing personnel to record data every hour. It was very cumbersome,

but it was the only way.” With the PLDT solution, COWD has been able to install data loggers in key areas to transmit water pressure data via SMS, allowing them to remotely and conveniently monitor service availability, and in real time. “We value the importance of this partnership as we focus on providing better services to our customers, enabled by technology. We thank PLDT and Smart for providing

us these opportunities and enabling us to continue improving,” added Engr. Batar. Benbrackie Melasa, PLDT Mindanao Head for Corporate Relationship Management, shared, “The PLDT group remains focused on the needs of our customers and partners. We are glad to be partnering with COWD in its digital transformation journey. Both PLDT and COWD are in the service industry, which means that we share the

same objectives to keep our customers happy with the best customer experience.” PLDT Enterprise recently launched its “Further, Together” campaign which highlights the significance of having a reliable and trusted partner for businesses in unlocking growth. The campaign also highlights PLDT Enterprise’s role as the partner of businesses in taking organizations further to greater heights.

Veterans Bank Warns of Data Centers 101: How enterprises benefit from Online Recruitment Scam colocation and outsourced IT management Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB) is warning the public, especially jobseekers, to be wary of unscrupulous individuals posing as recruiters for the Bank and charging fees to job applicants. According to PVB, the recruitment scam was being done online via social media and tricking people into believing they were interacting with the Bank’s recruitment department. As victims are lured in, they are led to believe that they have been hired by the Bank and are then charged fees supposedly for medical examination prior to starting. The fraudsters also use the Bank’s corporate logo and name-drop Bank official to make their scheme more credible. “Veterans Bank will NEVER ask job applicants for fees or charge them anything during the job application process,” said FVP Miguel Angelo C. VillaReal, Head of PVB’s Marketing and Communication Division. “Additionally, we do not employ individuals to do recruitment activities outside of our official channels both online and offline.” PVB discovered the fraudulent activity after receiving feedback from would-be applicants who double-checked with the Bank’s Customer Care team on the veracity of the online recruitment. FVP Villa-Real advises interested job applicants to directly get in touch with the PVB Talent Planning and Recruitment Department for their job-related inquiries or check the Careers Page of the PVB website. To report any fraudulent recruitment activity, the Bank advises individuals to contact PVB’s Customer Care at (02) 7902-1782, 09178221953, and 09985848379 (Mondays-Friday except holidays, 6:00am to 10:00pm) or via customercare@ veteransbank.com.ph. Online fraud may also be reported to the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group at (02) 8723-0401 local 7491 or email racu1@acg.pnp.gov.ph / pnpacg.raco1@gmail. com; or to the NBI Cybercrime Division at (02) 85238482 or (02) 8523-6826.

THE data center sector in the Philippines is facing exciting times. Pandemic lockdowns triggered an increased need from local companies to shift

servers and Information Technology (IT) equipment from their premises to data centers. Foreign groups are also looking at establishing

their facilities in the country. Recently, Globe entered into a $350-million joint venture partnership with

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres and Ayala Corporation to develop and operate data centers. Globe already has several data centers but believes that the joint venture will help it become a leader in the space. Data centers are dedicated buildings usually used by customers who manage their servers and applications but would like to outsource colocation and management to reduce costs. Users only have to pay a colocation fee instead of putting up their facility and handling operations. Globe data centers provide IT personnel, network cabling, security measures, cooling systems, fire suppression, uninterrupted power supply and generator, power, and lot space. Globe, for instance, also offers full-function office amenities to allow enterprises to continue mission-critical operations in the event of disasters. At the same time, it provides

sand, while also extending support to Siargao communities through agriculture activities, psychosocial support and community development,” he said. He said MinDA wants to help revive the tourism industry of the island, which is the primary income source of the people of Siargao. He said “VolunTurismo,” a coinage of “volunteerism” and “tourism,” is expected to attract 100,000 tourists in the coming months to help in the recovery and rehabilitation of Siargao. “For one tourist, it can generate support to 10 individuals, including porters, homestay workers and those in the transportation sector. That’s the way for a sustainable economic recovery,” he said. Super Typhoon Odette (international name: Rai) first made landfall in Siargao Island at 1:30 p.m. on 16 December 2021, a Thursday, packing maximum winds of up to 257 kilometers per hour or 160 miles per hour (https://disasterphilanthropy.org/disaster/ super-typhoon-odette-rai/). Odette, the 15th and the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines in 2021, made several other landfalls in other parts of Mindanao and the Visayas after barreling through touristy Siargao, the surfing capital of the Philippines named as the “Best Island in Asia” last year by the US-based travel magazine Condé Nast Traveler. At least 95% of households and public facilities on the island suffered different degrees of destruction, the local government reported. Siargao gradually reopened to tourists in February.

A total of 26 police personnel were directed to perform pre and posthair-care activities including hair cutting, shaving, beard styling, perming, styling, and maintenance for 456 hours or 19 days to achieve proper competency. According to 2nd PMFC Force Commander PLt. Col. Mardy Hortillosa, the training will serve as an additional skill for their company in providing stronger security and service in communi-

ties from Opol to Lugait, stressing the importance of building trust as a key factor in countering the deceptive tactics of the CTG-NPA. "2nd PMFC, MORPPO personnel are always visiting the barangay under our area of responsibility, this skill will bridge us to be closer to the people to gain their trust and support in maintaining the better peace and order of their area, our unit is very thankful to TESDA for the partnership of giving training to our personnel to serve the public in the hinterland areas,” Hortillosa said.

Alabel Mayor Vic Paul Salarda, Alsons Dev Director Miguel A. Dominguez, and Councilor Hermie Galzote led the groundbreaking ceremony held on March 15, 2022 for the 877.5-meter Alabel Bypass Road, which will reduce travel time to and from the Alabel town proper.

Alsons Dev, Alabel LGU break ground for P30-M Alabel Bypass Road

LSONS Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev), together with the municipal government of Alabel, led the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of an 877.5-meter bypass road valued at P30 million that will

connect Libertad Road in Barangay Maribulan, Alabel to the Sarangani-Davao del Sur Coastal Road. A 630-meter property that forms a significant portion of the road was donated by the Alcantara Family, founder and owner of a diversified conglomerate comprised of more than 20 corporations, which include Alsons Dev, a leading real estate developer in Davao City, and Alsons Aquaculture Corporation, the Philippine’s largest processor and exporter of premium quality bangus and many other processed seafood products based in Sarangani. The donation was made to the Municipality of Alabel on July 28, 2021, in time for the town’s 50th founding anniversary. “We are grateful to have donors like the Alcantara Family, who are committed to working with the local government to improve our infrastructure for the betterment of the province and its people,” said Alabel Mayor Vic Paul Salarda. Scheduled to be completed in August 2022, the Alabel Bypass Road will boost land value and socioeconomic development for Alabel, as it will allow a more seamless travel for commuters in Barangays Maribulan, Libertad, Bagacay and Poblacion heading to

and coming back from Davao del Sur. Easier access to Davao del Sur, which, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority, had a total population of 680,481 in 2020, will increase foot traffic to Alabel. In turn, this will increase the zonal values in Alabel. “We are honored to be part of this project. Our family has always been supportive of the growth of Alabel. Resolute to our founder’s vision of uplifting the people’s quality of life, Alsons Dev will continue to be a catalyst of growth and development, especially in places where our business operates,” said Miguel A. Dominguez, Director of Alsons Dev. Later this year, Alsons Dev is set to expand its real estate business to Alabel with the launch of a major mixed-use development that integrates prime residential communities, firstclass leisure amenities, wide retail and commercial offerings, reputable educational institutions, and government support facilities in one address. The new project will be Alsons Dev’s first major project outside of Davao City. For more information on Alsons Development and Investment Corporation projects, visit https://alsonsdev. com/.
