Normin business leaders urge delivery of agri priorities Batasan declared no-fly zone for PBBM’s first SONA

By MIKE BAÑOS Editor at Large

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITYBusinessmen in Northern Mindanao (Region X) have high hopes for Pres. Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.’s vow to prioritize agriculture and food self-sufficiency during his administration. The president has ordered a sweeping review of all projects and programs of the Department of Agriculture (DA) to identify how the agency can effectively help local food producers and bring down the prices of commodities. He ordered agri officials to devise a strategy to help farmers ramp up their production, particularly of rice, and transport these to

CdO to retain Covid isolation facilities in hotels as cases surge By NEF LUCZON

Require vax cards, Klarex tells malls, restos, offices Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Rolando ‘Klarex’ Uy will issue an executive order directing malls, offices, restaurants, eateries and commercial establishments to inspect the vaccination cards of their customers.

‘I learned from (City Hall epidemiologist) Dr. (Teodulfo Joselito) Retuya Jr. about how Kagay-anons have become complacent in their compliance to minimum public health protocols. This executive order

will remind them (and the management of commercial establishments) to do their part in keeping COVID-19 at bay,’ Mayor Klarex said in Visayan during a radio interview on Friday. See TELLS, page 8

C A G AYA N D E O R O CITY—The city government will retain the temporary isolation facilities in hotels and inns here as a precaution against the resurgence of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases. In a radio interview Thursday, Mayor Rolando Uy said the decision was based on the advice of the City Health Office (CHO), as cases rise and the public can move freely because of lowered health alert restrictions in the city. “They (CHO officials) also told me that the spike is caused, among other factors, by increased travel of city residents outside the city and that they are monitoring the situation,” he said in vernacular, adding that the cases remain manageable.

Last year, some hotels and inns were temporarily converted into isolation facilities for Covid-19 patients and a quarantine area for those who were awaiting their RT-PCR tests.

The conversion scheme also benefited hotel owners as the city government subsidized some operating expenses. As of July 20, the CHO See RETAIN, page 11

Solons hope to hear gov’t plans on pandemic recovery during SONA By FILANE MIKEE CERVANTES

MANILA – Lawmakers on Thursday expressed hope that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. would lay down his plans on how to help the country rebuild and recover from the coronavirus disease pandemic and rising inflation during his first State of the Nation Address. Bagong Henerasyon Rep. Bernadette Herrera said Marcos should come up with a new “master plan” that would tackle the country’s pandemic recovery. “We expect the President to unveil a roadmap to help the country recover from the impacts of Covid-19 for the next six years or so,” Herrera said. She said she is also interested to know new sources of revenue for the government to fund the recovery efforts. “Saan kukuha ng pondo ang gobyerno para pondohan ang inaasahang malaking gastusin para makaban-

gon ang ating mamamayan at ang ekonomiya mula sa Covid-19 pandemic (Where would the government get the funds to finance the costly recovery efforts for our economy and our citizens from the Covid-19 pandemic)?” she said. She is also looking forward to the President’s strategy to fight inflation, which pushes more people into poverty. “Too many families feel the squeeze of higher costs of food, transportation and other basic commodities and services, which are induced by the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine,” Herrera said. “Just like everyone else, I am eager to know how this administration will lower the costs for Filipino families.” Herrera said the government must continue to provide economic relief that will support households and businesses, particularly micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), until

the virus is contained. “Although the economy has recovered somewhat in the first quarter of this year, millions of Filipinos who lost their jobs remain unemployed, the economy is operating far below its capacity and the recovery appears to be stalling,” Herrera said. Albay Rep. Joey Salceda, meanwhile, said the importance of cheaper fertilizers in the government’s efforts to lower food prices amid a global food price surge would “almost certainly be mentioned” in Marcos’ first SONA. “One of his quickest victories as Agriculture Secretary can be fertilizers. I commend his effort to pursue government-togovernment procurement of fertilizers. That gets rid of a lot of middlemen margins,” Salceda said in an interview. Salceda said aside from government-to-government pro c u re m e nt , Ma rc o s See HOPE, page 9

Teenage Peer Pressure LOIDA A. PADILLA Teacher III City Central School Yacapin Velez Street, Cagayan de Oro City

Most of us are already aware that peer pressure is the influence that one feels from a person or from a group of people to do something you don’t consider doing. Even though most of us want to fit in and feel like we belong in a group or community, there are a few negative and positive effects that come from it. It affects teenagers to cultivate bad habits from their surroundings, and it forces them to do things that they are uncomfortable doing. From this, some eventually adopt this particular lifestyle, from a non-smoker to a chainsmoker or those who take drinking against their will. Most teenagers don’t understand they are ruining their life by giving in to pressure from their peers, which can often lead to loss of individuality and integrity because it has already influ-

enced them into thinking that whatever their peers are doing is right. It makes you lose your identity. However, peer pressure isn’t always a bad thing. It can also be a positive influence and can help motivate you to do your best. For example, in school, peer pressure from your classmates to keep your grades up can challenge you to study more and do better. If you are fortunate enough to get a good group of friends, they can influence you to change your personality or the way you act towards other people or yourself positively. With their different perspectives of life, it can also lead you to change yours. In short, they can help you change and make you a better human being. It’s just a matter of making choices. So, be sure to choose wisely and make it count.

Better, responsive welfare aid for distressed OFWs at One Repatriation Command Center By SUSAN DE LEON

CALOOCAN CITY, (PIA) -- The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) has launch a centralized system that will facilitate, monitor, and document the repatriation of distressed OFWs in coordination with relevant government agencies, private sector, and concerned stakeholders. DMW Secretary Susan “Toots” V. Ople said with the One Repatriation Command Center, all the requests, regardless of the OFWs’ status, whether documented or undocumented will immediately be acted upon. “The One Repat-DMW will help ensure that distressed OFWs are given immediate assistance and are able to come home to their families and loved ones.” “In the past, OFWs and their loved ones had to knock on the doors of several government agencies to ask for help. It’s heartbreaking to see families from the provinces traveling all the way to Manila, incurring needless debts and expenses, and dealing with long periods of anxiety while waiting for the response from government agencies,” she added. (PIA-NCR) Ople said OFWs in distress, or their immediate families or next of kin, need only call the One

store, record and analyze data and information. They must follow DepEd procedures, policies and regulations to maintain compliance. Accounting clerks record and receive cash, checks and vouchers for banks and financial institutions. Accounting clerks are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of figures and documents so they need strong technological skills in various types of software. These professionals often use accounting software. Accounting clerks must also be comfortable using database user interface. Additionally, accounting clerks must understand how to use software for financial analysis. These clerks also need strong mathematical, problem solving and communication skills.

The center also allows walk-in requests for assistance. “Ngayon po, ang DMW ang magta-trabaho para matulungan ang ating mga OFW at kung kailangan, maibalik sila sa bansa upang makasama ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay,” Ople said. The DMW Secretary said the Center will work closely with the DFA, particularly in areas where there are no labor offices. “Sa mga bansa kung saan

wala tayong mga labor attache, makikipag-ugnayan at makikipagtulungan ang DMW sa DFA,” Ople said. The One Repat-DMW Center is located at the second floor of the Blas F. Ople Building, EDSA corner Ortigas Avenue. It operates on a 24/7 basis with case and welfare officers working three (3) shifts daily.

LEGAZPI CITY – The Department of AgricultureBicol (DA-5) through the Rice and High-Value Crops Development Program distributed PHP5 million worth of various agricultural inputs and supplies under the Quick Response Fund (QRF) to the province of Albay. In an interview on Thursday, Lovella Guarin, DA-5 information officer, said the interventions of DA-5 aim to help Albay farmers continue to rehabilitate their agricultural production areas after the three consecutive typhoons hit the region in 2020.

We have paved a total of 4.04 lane kilometers of roads, which is also expected to ensure the safe travel of the residents,” Manabat said in a social media post. Meanwhile, Casilagan village chair Larry Engelito thanked the DPWH for the completion of new road projects that could help farmers reduce the expenses of transporting their products to the buyers. “The newly rehabilitated roads make the transport and delivery of goods and farm produce faster. As a result, the profit and livelihood for our farmers will greatly improve,” Engelito said. Likewise, he said rescuers could now easily reach their barangay in case of an emergency.

Kim’s Dream Amazing Mayor Reymon Charl Gamboa follows Rule of Law

Liberating the Poor & Oppressed in Kibaritan, Kalilangan

IT was a great honor and privilege for the officers of the Kibaritan Farmers St. Peter Higaonon Tribe Agriculture Cooperative of Malinao, Kalilangan, Bukidnon Branch together with the former UnderSecretary/Chairman of the Cooperative Development Authority, Orlando Ravanera, to have met the amazing Mayor who have heard with sense of urgency pressing issues besetting the poor and oppressed farmers. . As reported by them to the honorable Mayor, they have gone to Davao City a week ago and had the privilege of reporting to no less than the very charismatic and amazing Vice President Sarah Duterte Carpio through her Chief of the Davao Satellite Office, Ms. Jean Dixon, the turmoil and horrible challenges that they are experiencing in Kibaritan since 2006. They oozed with joy when they were assured that such urgent concerns will be acted by the Vice President in a week’s time. Be that as it may and with all due respect to the honorable Mayor, they felt obliged to have this development be reported to the honorable mayor and Sangguniang

Bayan whom they believe should exemplify to the highest degree the Constitutional provision that “a public office is a public trust and that all officials of government must exercise their functions to the highest degree of commitment and dedication.” They sincerely expressed to the honorable Mayor that as an intrepid lawyer who ardently follows the rule of law, “you are that most awaited leader to put to rest the issues that have caused us and to our families, so much despair and sleepless nights because of grave social injustice, harassment done to us in gross violations of our human rights since 2016.” They categorically asked, “how dare our lands in Kibaritan had been landgrabbed using pronouncement of military reservation as an alibi! Until now, we are so puzzled why the 16,000 hectares which had been declared as alienable and disposable suddenly formed part of the 46,000 hectares military reservation? Is the 30,000 hectares not enough? We are even more puzzled when our community in Sitio Kibaritan, with a Chapel and an Elementary School established in 1984 has

been converted into a part of the firing range, with an Unidentified Explosive Ordnance (UXO) that caused the death of three innocent children on March 25, 2016 who were playing in the vicinity, devoid of warning or precautionary measures from the concerned military officials? Wasn’t that gross negligence and those responsible officials must be made accountable?” They contented further that, “we are so puzzled why the more or less 100 hectares taken from us in 2020 are now converted into farming projects by military officials in cohort with business corporations. What is so painful was the unscrupulous fencing of the farm-to-market-road, the destruction of our fences, the cutting of our planted sugarcane in 2021, followed by cutting of cassava and “kamote,” and replaced by the planting of corn as ordered by the military officials. Now these officials are planting fruit trees for their own self-interest.” They are ardently raising so many questions. “Is See POOR, page 11

TODAY, I am taking a moment to express my sincerest thanks to President George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States of America for having granted me an audience on July 9, 2022, at his residence in the Walker’s Point - Bush Estate, Kennebunkport, Maine. I am also extending my grateful appreciation for the warm reception of the First Lady, Laura Lane Welch Bush, whose demure composure and modesty speaks louder than all that has been written about her as a teacher, librarian, memoirist and author. And, most of all my utmost gratitude to God for enabling me to meet the First Couple of the most powerful nation on earth - a rare opportunity that is not ordinarily available for everybody. In all levity and candor, at first, I was enveloped in trepidation. I thought it was just a mirage - I can’t believe my eyes upon seeing the President already waiting at the circular driveway in front of the

family’s residence at exactly 1100 hours - our estimated time of arrival. While dismounting from the vehicle, I was astonished looking at the President approaching to meet me sans protocol and security. As we shook hands and I greeted him “Mr. President, finally, I meet my Idol. Happy 76th Birthday!”, I felt the warmth of his sincerity. Honestly, I was surprised beyond expectation by the President’s cordial and warm gestures sans protocol and security. It never crossed my imagination that a person

who, as described in his narratives, have everything - wealth, power and fame has the humility to meet me. Indeed, I was overwhelmed by his unequivocal reception, so much so I can’t find words in the lexicon of language that can best capture how I felt upon meeting “Dubya”. Indeed, I was in awe as the President lead the way for me and my daughter, Mahalia - a nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital and my “personal driver”. I really felt dwarfed when he opened See CLOSE, page 11

ILOILO CITY – The Department of Agriculture (DA) in Western Visayas is eyeing to boost its rice production this year through the catch-up plan of the national government, including the provision of fertilizer vouchers to qualified farmers. DA Western Visayas Regional Executive Director Remelyn Recoter said one of the marching orders of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who also heads the department, is to increase rice yield. “It is very vital given that rice is the staple food of Filipinos. If the production will increase there will be sufficiency in the supply and hopefully prices will reduce,” she said in an interview on Thursday. The intention of the catch-up plan is for the rice production to be sustained at the 2021 level or higher and to provide fertilizer subsidy, Recoter added. The region’s harvest in 2021 was at 2.3 million

Cebu Pacific boosts Vis-Min connections THERE are now more ways for Kagay-anons to travel as the Philippines’ leading airline, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB) now operates 88% of its pre-pandemic systemwide network. Apart from boosting its international network, CEB now puts focus on boosting its hubs outside Metro Manila. With the continuous easing of travel restrictions in and out of the Philippines, the airline is boosting

connections in its VisayasMindanao hub. At present, CEB operates an average of 340 flights a day across its widest domestic network spanning 34 destinations; and international network covering 18 destinations. “We remain confident in our strong recovery despite some headwinds. We see more people willing to travel now and our flight resumptions are our response to

this growing demand,” says Cebu Pacific Corporate Communications director Carmina Romero. To spur even more travelers to fly, CEB is rolling out a special seat sale for the Vis-Min hub. With a base fare of just Php188 per way, Kagay-anons can travel directly to their favorite destinations such as Cebu and Manila; or go to known beach destinations like Bohol, Boracay, or Coron via

the Cebu hub. Seats will be on sale beginning tomorrow, July 21, 2022, all the way up to July 27, 2022. Travel period is from September 1, 2022 until January 31, 2023. “We encourage the traveling public to take advantage of our trademark seat sales as we know these provide great value to our passengers. We remain committed to keep fares low so See BOOSTS, page 8

Health Watch: Don’t compromise your immunity! Get a 2 in 1 protection worth Php 7.00. WITH the COVID-19 still being a threat, the rising prices of fuel and basic commodities, should your health be compromised? The answer is NO! The threat of COVID-19 is far from over– with some cities and provinces in Visayas and Mindanao still continuously registering new cases, we now live in the so-called new normal, which is a delicate balance between health and economy. And with the rising cost of commodities, it has also led some to adjust their practices when it comes to health protection or choice of vitamins. However, as we go out more often for work or go to public places like malls or even report back to on site work, we are increasing our risk of getting infected. Once we get hospitalized when infected with COVID-19, this can potentially drain our savings. Absence at work can also lead to lost daily income which is a big amount to lose, comparing to boosting our

immunity taking immunity vitamins for only Php 7.00, and observing proper health practices like frequent hand washing and wearing of mask. Despite the tightening of our budget, our health should still be a priority as we bounce back from the impact brought about by the pandemic. So how do we avoid compromising our health while saving on expenses at the same time? Introducing Ascorbic Acid (as Sodium Ascorbate) + Zinc (IMMUNTAB). It is made by Unilab, one of the most trusted pharmaceutical companies in the Philippines. Immuntab is a 2 in 1 combination of vitamin C and zinc, which provides superior protection compared to vitamin C alone. This is our defense as we go out of our house and get exposed to different people. Immuntab helps boost the immune system, and is priced reasonably at Php7.00 (seven pesos) per capsule. Protection for our immunity need not be costly. Immuntab’s vitamin C is non-

acidic sodium ascorbate, which is beneficial for people with sensitive stomachs and hyperacidity. The use of Ascorbic Acid + Zinc on the generic name is in compliance to Department of Health’s Administrative Order 2016-0008.

Immuntab is available in all drugstores in Visayas and Mindanao, and in Unilab’s flagship store in Lazada and Shopee. Don’t compromise your immunity; try the Vitamin C+ Zinc from Unilab, Immuntab!

Opening of classes By JAMES MICHAEL TRONIADO Teacher-in-Charge Sicot Elementary School

VICE President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte said the August 22 opening of SY 2022-23 is final amid calls by teachers for a postponement due to lingering fears about the Covid-19 pandemic. Duterte also said the date of the school opening has been approved by President Marcos. Our school year which will be from August 2022 to July 2023 has already been approved by the President. In DepEd Order 34-2022, Duterte said SY 2022-23 for public elementary and secondary schools will open on August 22 under the blended learning system and will transition to full face to face classes

in November. Duterte said her office is always willing to hear the opinion of stakeholders, including teachers, to ensure the safe opening of classes. She added schools can now open since health protocols have been in place for the last two years. The difference now is we know the health protocols by heart, we have vaccines and we have a lot of supply of it and we have Covid-19 medicines. DepEd earlier stated it will provide psychosocial support during the first week of the school year to protect the students’ socio-emotional well-being.

What Leadership Style Works Best in the Classroom? LUCILLE TIMBAL HIFE Teacher III Balagnan Integrated School Balingasag Central District DepEd Misamis Oriental

There seems to be no onesize-fits-all leadership model. If we are searching for a more specific direction on what kind of leadership best fits in the classroom, here are some suggestions that many instructors have found beneficial when employing these strategies in their classrooms: The first thing to know is that teachers have a different role from other leaders. They are not supposed to be leaders in the classroom, but rather teachers who are also leaders. This means that when it comes time for students to lead each other, it must be done with the guidance of their teachers. The best leadership style for teachers is a friendly, supportive one. It’s important to remember that teachers are human and can make mistakes. If your teacher makes a mistake, don’t fire them. Instead, offer them some constructive criticism and ask how you can help better next time. The other thing we should keep in mind when thinking about what kind of leader our teachers need is that they’re not dictators or autocrats at all; instead, they are simply caring individuals that want the best for their students. In a classroom setting, the best leadership style is not one that you would use in a business.

A leader who is friendly and supportive will help students feel more comfortable and confident about their ideas. They will also have an easier time developing relationships with others because they are not attempting to control or manipulate them. A leadership style that is not authoritarian or autocratic works well in classrooms because it allows students to express themselves freely without fear of being punished for doing so. Students may be reluctant at first because they want to fit in but eventually become comfortable enough with their new environment where they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts without fear of reprimand from authority figures or peers who might disagree with how someone else thinks about something. As a teacher, you want only the best for your students. To do that, you need to know how they learn best and what works in the classroom setting. As we’ve seen above, there are many different ways to teach and lead, but the best leadership style for teachers is one that fits with their personal strengths and abilities as well as their students’ personalities. Teachers should use strategies like positive reinforcement and consistency of expectations when engaging students in order for them to be successful learners throughout their education.***

NoCot reject extremism By EDWIN FERNANDEZ

CAMP SIONGCO, Maguindanao – Saying they are tired and disappointed, five more members of the extremist Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) operating in North Cotabato province have surrendered to authorities, the military here said Friday. Maj. G e n . R o b e r t o Capulong, the Army’s 6th Infantry Division commander, said the BIFF surrenderers renounced Thursday their affiliation with the outlawed BIFF-Karialan faction and pledged allegiance to the government. Capulong, also head of the Army-led Joint Task Force Central (JTFC), said the surrenderers turned in two Garand rifles, two M14 sniper rifles, and one 60mm mortar ammunition during the surrender rite at the headquarters of 602nd Infantry Brigade in

Carmen, North Cotabato. “These people just want to live normal lives again,” he said. One of the five who identified himself as “Rodin” said his group is tired of fighting and running away from air and ground attacks of government forces. “We expect this to materialize, for us to live peacefully with our loved ones,” he said in the vernacular. Capulong said the surrenderers will get a livelihood package from the government. On Thursday, 11 other disgruntled BIFF members yielded to the military in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao. Since January this year, a total of 138 BIFF and nine members of the Dawlah Islamiya Abu Torayfe Group have surrendered to the different units under the 6ID and JTFC in Central Mindanao. (PNA)

Teaching Learning Approach Writer: ROSARIO D. SALDUA

Multicultural education is an approach to teaching and learning that is based on democratic values and beliefs and affirms cultural pluralism within culturally diverse societies. It enables learners to recognize, accept and appreciate differences in race, culture, language, social class, gender, religion and special needs. The aim of multicultural education is to ensure equity in education for all students and to help empower young people to make the world a better place both individually and collectively. Benefits of multicultural education include increase of productivity, problem-solving skills and positive relationships and decrease of discrimination and prejudice among learner. A teacher plays an important role in a successful implementation of multicultural education. Many teachers do not know or understand what multicultural education is. Some teachers do not provide opportunity to students to interact with each other. Multicultural education focuses on students’ performance, both academically and socially. Nowadays, teachers are much concern of the academic achievement of their students, and neglect to educate and prepare them to be a responsible person in

a multicultural world. When it comes to teaching, I must be open, knowledgeable, and not afraid to talk about the cultural differences in class. Open discussion in classroom creates a positive and conducive learning environment for everyone. I will also encourage my students to use technology to interact with me and with other students. I want to create an environment that allows my students to feel that they can comfortably interact with other students of different races, socioeconomic backgrounds and ethics. This can actually enrich their own learning, because they can learn other languages, understand other culture etc. Moreover, if my students are willing to interact with others who face different challenges in their lives, then they will have a better understanding of the diversity and social challenges that people face based on racial differences. Students must develop and maintain their cultural competence. Some students struggle to balance the different worlds they live in: academics and culture. In my opinion, students must value both academics and culture, by finding ways to incorporate culture into the school day. It is important for students to value their culture And love their culture too.

YES, Sports Tourism is alive and well! In a span of just a week I was grinning silly hopping from Bohol, Manila and Cebu witnessing and planning some of the greatest sports events which will land in the annals of the Province of Bohol, the Philippine Football Federation, and the municipality of Cordova, Cebu. Boholanos, especially in the idyllic island of Panglao, were simply awed by the staging of the Sunlife 5150 Triathlon and the Go For Gold’s Sunrise Sprint all so professionally organized by Sunrise Events of the Iron-

man Group. Descending in Panglao for a two to three day stay were some 630 athletes from 23 countries with a few hundred more supporters and friends. Residents living in the vicinity of Doljo in Panglao, immersed in a fiesta-like atmosphere for at least two days, with a brain script of wishing to indulge in competitive swimming, biking and running in the near future. Vice Governor Atty Dionisio Balite who represented Governor Erico Aristotle Aumentado throughout the weekend was elated with this sporting event as a catalyst

to tourism and the island economy. Significantly, this event came just 10 days into their administration. In Manila, football took center stage for once over basketball this week, as our national ladies football team historically clinched the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Championship - the equivalent of the men’s Suzuki Cup which our Azkals have not yet won so far. But that is a different story from what we have written volumes about. Maybe, one day soon, we will also win the Suzuki Cup. For the two week tournament held in Manila and nearby Cavite, eleven teams (including Australia) participated with Burma, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines reaching the semi-finals. Eleven teams with at least 40 members in each contingent and a horde of AFF officials. Eleven teams that would have at least dozens of supporters and family members. Eleven teams accompanied the sports writers and tv crews from each country. Add this all up; conservatively this event would have brought in close to a thousand tourists to a recovering tourism industry

benefitting hotels, restaurants, souvenir vendors and transportation companies. I was teary eyed while watching thousands of fans at the Rizal Memorial Stadium cheering on our newly adopted daughters of Filipino parentage from far beyond our borders. Welcome come, anak. It was surreal with great emotions bundled to create a historic night. Finally, the beautiful game has reached Philippine shores with the kind of magnitude that is needed. And it took these beautiful lasses to bring it home. For decades I was dream-

ing of seeing the Old Rizal filled with football fans cheering the home team. Sunday, July 17 was the closest to my dream. Never mind, my school days weekend Premier League atmosphere of yesteryears, but I liked what I saw and I realized there is still hope for this beautiful game. We wonder if the Department of Tourism will launch a niche marketing campaign in the home town residences of these Filipinas, wherever they are presently living, targeting their classmates, neighbors, relatives, office mates, club mates, etc. You See TOURISM, page 11

AGGIE NEWS:

Agri 10 office, Claveria town convene with Korean team for corn processing complex upgrade in Brgy. Malagana CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The Department of Agriculture - Northern Mindanao (DA-10) through Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado and the local government of Claveria, Misamis Oriental, convened with its Korean partners, as they eye for the improvement of the corn processing complex (CPC) in barangay Malagana. A rural development project funded by the Korean (P37.8million) and Philippine (P26.06M) governments, the facility comprising a warehouse, and production and postharvest equipment, among others, was completed in 2013. Since then, it has helped corn farmers in the locality to produce quality grains and to reduce postharvest losses, overall enabling them to command better prices for their produce and earn decent incomes. Particularly, the recent coordination stemmed from LGU Claveria’s request for the provision of experts to conduct an inspection of the CPC from the Korea Rural Community, Corp. (KRCC) thru the assistance of DA-10, in order to assess the facility and identify which portions warrant replacement, repair and/or maintenance. To this end, a delegation was sent led by Jeong Min

Ryu of KRCC and experts from the corn processing machine manufacturer, SH Dryer – Kyoungsub Choi and Philip Briston (Phl branch). Citing the CPC’s vital role in catering to the drying needs of corn farmers, Rolando M. Alfanta, municipal engineer of LGU Claveria reported, that their office has set aside P7-M for the upkeep of the complex amid challenges in the availability of experts and some spare parts for its repair and maintenance. He added that they have done modifications to the facility for a more localized setting, paving the way to easier pursue repair and maintenance works. Agreeing to the value of the corn processing machine, Claveria mayor Meraluna S. Abrogar said, that it greatly aids farmers, as it can accommodate the drying of corn [in cobs] from 10 hectares with an average of 10 tons per hectare within a three-day interval. With Claveria town devoting approximately 10,000 hectares of land to corn farming, the local chief executive even clamored for the expansion of the facility. Given the limited budget, however, to work on the implementation of future development assistance to the municipality, Ms. Ryu asked the concerned office to prioritize items for fund assistance. LGU Claveria presented its

DA-10 and LGU Claveria convene with its Korean partners, as they target for the upgrading of the CPC in barangay Malagana.

P11.8-M worth proposal, comprising the 30x10.8-meter building extension (P4.8-M); repair of the existing building (P1-M); and the provision of agricultural equipment support facility (P6-M). Of which, the amount excludes for improvement of the existing corn drying facility from SH Dryer. The Korean team leader responded, that by next week,

she will be relaying the results of the site visit and coordination meeting, and further laid down to the body the timelines for the potential project grant to LGU Claveria, in which the bidding process will likely start in August and for implementation towards the end of the year. As it is midyear, DA-10 through Regional Technical Director for

Operations Carlota S. Madriaga committed for the agency to cover for the maintenance and other operating expenses and provide technical assistance for the upcoming convergence project for Claveria town. The agri official further recommended for LGU Claveria to explore in shouldering the duties and taxes, and demurrage

fees, on top of providing the land area and manpower for their proposed project as their counterpart. Reportedly, Claveria farmers are paying P1.50 per kilo (dried kernels) as a drying fee for the use of the CPC, but is still subject to changes in view of the increasing prices of fuel products. # (JLO)

from page 4 the way to convert our farms into military reservation? Those who ordered were cutting our plants in presence of military gun men in gross violation of our human rights! We are farmers and farming is our livelihood to feed our children and to live a dignified life. Apparently, the ones gaining from our lands are military officials for their self-vested interest in the guise of transforming our land into military reservation.” They told the honorable mayor that” lately Hon. Mayor, we are treated as disposable wastes! as shown by the throwing of stone and hurting of Ms. Novelyn Pasague when she with lady farmers were planting corn in their farms by a certain Col. Ciriaco A. Lomas-e, Jr. INF (GSC) PA. Ms. Novelyn was so hurt that she had to see a doctor and now has become sickly and in the verge of a nervous breakdown.” Apparently, the message of these military officials is clear as they instill fear to take hold of the farmers’ land. Is the enrichment of these officials means the dispossession of the poor farmers? Honorable Mayor, there is so much to report as they expressed their utmost thanks. Thus, it is in this context that they are now sincerely appealing to the “Father of Kalilangan” for the conduct of a multi-agency meeting as soon as possible together with the Vice-Mayor, the honorable members of the Sangguniang Bayan, the Barangay Captain and if possible, concerned AFP officials and corporations with business engagements in the land-grabbed areas. It is in this context that the requested meeting is requested by them to put in clear categorical term on WHERE ARE WE NOW? WHERE ARE WE GOING? & HOW TO DO WE NOW BRING BACK THE RULE OF LAW? They are hoping that finally they can put to rest all of these troubling issues which for them are very elementary and simple but have become so horrible and complicated because of the outpourings of gospel of misinformation to justify what clearly are gross social injustices committed against them. They are ardently hoping and praying that the Hon. Mayor Reymon Charl Gamboa will finally be the much awaited “Father of the Municipality” to finally stop the on-going oppression of the farmers whose human rights have been grossly violated including the conduct of the investigation of the death of three innocent children. As a native-resident of Kalilangan, the honorable Mayor has a clear understanding on the status of land that the former soldiers, the ancestors of the present occupants who have been unjustly evicted in gross violation of their prior rights. Their ancestors and their descendants have already acquired prior rights, Now, they are being evicted, and worse, being harassed. Honorable Mayor, as the Chief Legal Officer of DAR before in Region 10, and now the Mayor of Kalilangan, it behooves upon you to bring back the rule of law because in this country no one is above the law; all must bow down to the majesty of the law because we follow the rule of law and not of men. But apparently, the rule of law has not been followed but the rule

of power and perhaps, money! It has become imperative that verification and investigation should now be done. To you honorable Mayor, OUR FIRM SALUTE AND WARM EMBRACE!

from page 4 the main entrance door and ushered us inside the receiving room where we started “tetea-tete”. Subsequently, the formalities yielded to conviviality soon as, when the President took a glimpse at my head, I instinctively bantered “ Mr. President, if my shining top is impairing your line of sight, my apologies “When God created the world, He gave only very few perfect heads. The rest, He covered with hairs.” Since then, after he chuckled at my self-effacing humour, our conversation evolved into an “entente cordiale” punctuated by photo ops for posterity. Metaphorically, I have worked beneath the wings of past five presidents of our country. I’ve held various elected and appointed positions with local, national and international areas of responsibilities which enabled me travel far and wide. In the course of time, I met high and mighty personalities of all sizes, shapes, colors and ideologies in the penumbra of power. Without intending to make comparison and much less expecting anyone to concur with my standard and opinion, with all due respect, I can’t resist describing “Dubya” as a marvelous host, and consummate diplomat. From our arrival until departure, the President’s composure was an epitome of an authentic gentleman. I must admit, I really felt blown away with the President’s contagious buoyancy and effervescence, rapport and camaraderie wrapped in simplicity devoid of hypocrisy and grandeur. What you see is what you get, a down-to-earth people-oriented leader par excellence. It’s no wonder why George W. Bush was elected Governor of Texas for four consecutive terms from 1994-2001 and became President of the United States off America from 20012009. Frankly, in all the years of my life, it never crossed my mind and neither have I ever conjured that, today, I am in rendezvous and having interlude with the 43rd President of the United States of America, the world’s most powerful nation - the Philippines lifelong friend, mentor of democracy, ,a strategic ally and liberator. My audience with #43 took place six days after the President’s birthday on July 6th, and two days after July 4th - the Independence Day of America, thus it was replete with historical nostalgia. It in retrospect,

Fri-Sat, July 22-23, 2022 it evokes memories of how our two nations celebrated independence simultaneously on the same day 76 years ago, for 18 years since July 3, 1946 to May 12, 1964. However, with the enactment of Republic Act No, 416, then President Diosdado Macapagal changed the Independence Day from July 4 to June 12, and renamed as Philippine Republic Day, (also known as Philippine-American Friendship Day) to commemorate Emilio Aguinaldo’s original proclamation of Philippine Independence from Spain on the same date in 1898. The aforecited episode in our history became the bend in the river of our journey to nationhood. It arouses curiosity as to what we could have been, had we remained an autonomous commonwealth of America as we had been since 1935? This question triggers a litany of unending questions which fuels my passion to continue writing and seeking for answers.

Vegafria, Regional Governor of the Phil Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI-10) and Conference Chairman for the Mindanao Food Congress, is looking forward to what specific actions the President will enable to address the high cost of agricultural inputs. Similarly, Efren Uy, Past President & Spokesperson, Misamis Oriental Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry Inc (MOFCCCII) and currently Oro Chamber Chairman of the Board, would like to see tax exemptions on all farm inputs and agri machineries to lower the production costs of food products. “As part of his election campaign pitch, President Marcos already saw the problem of agriculture and food sufficiency of our country. His taking the Agriculture portfolio was no surprise to us as it signaled his sincerity to bring more and cheaper food on every Filipino family’s table,” noted Oro Chamber President Raymundo Talimio Jr. However, Talimio is perplexed why his economic managers led by Finance Sec. Ben Diokno are saying that the government’s priorities are health, education and infrastructure. “The business sector is eagerly waiting for his 1st SONA with a hope that he will debunk Diokno’s pronouncements and push for Agriculture’s sustainability and sufficiency,” Talimio stressed. “I believe he is trying his best to pursue his agenda of Unity and his nomination of various Cabinet members who may not have been in his camp

during the last elections gives us hope that a unified administration will eventually lead to the country’s economic recovery after the covid pandemic,” said Elpidio M. Paras, Promote Normin Inc. President. “As patriots for our country, let us all join hands to ensure that our nation moves forward and not look back!” he enjoined. Besides the priority focus on agriculture, Uy also wants to hear more Enhanced Economic Policies, Incentives and/or Tax Reliefs to attain fast recovery, and a diligent review of all Gov’t To Gov’t & other Financial Institutions Loan Agreements. DA Undersecretary for Consumer and Political Affairs Kristine Evangelista clarified that ensuring food security not only covers a sufficient rice supply, but prime commodities such as pork and poultry, eggs, and vegetables as well. The President, Evangelista said, has ordered the department to study how best to raise farm production while tempering the cost of production by stabilizing the supply of commodities which would redound to affordable prices for end users. Region 10 Agriculture Sector While the regional economy of Northern Mindanao has been steadily recovering from the effects of the global pandemic, it’s not out of the woods yet. In her presentation during the Northern Mindanao Socio Economic Media Forum held 4 July 2022, Regional Development Council-X Vice Chair and NEDA-X Regional Dir. Mylah Faye Aurora B. Cariño said the agriculture sector was a top 3 contributor to the region’s growth in 2021 with 3.8% and remains one of its top employers with 38% of people employed, but its labor productivity ranked lowest at 64% lower than industry, 40% lower than services, and 36% lower than the regional average. The Philippine government’s agricultural programs for the region are for rice, corn, high value crops, and livestock. Large portions of land dedicated to agriculture are used to grow coconut, bananas, pineapple, corn and rice. PSA-X statistics show palay production in 2021 increased by 1.51 percent, with annual average yield 2.27% higher at 4.78 MT per hectare, and regional average annual rice sufficiency at 85.7 percent. Corn production fared better with white corn and yellow corn production higher by 20.54 percent and 33.32 percent, respectively. This enabled the region to attain a corn surplus with a sufficiency level of 144.32 percent in 2021. For 2021, poultry and livestock live weight volume grew by 1.20 percent to 495,720 MT

with all livestock and poultry commodities increased except for chicken. Bananas accounted for 53.9 percent of the total production of major fruit crops in the region, followed by pineapple (1.668 million MT/44.6 percent share, calamansi and mango with a combine share of 1.5 percent. Cassava accounted for the biggest share (85.8%) of the total production of major vegetables and root crops in the region in 2021 with 675,888 MT. Sugarcane accounted for 67.1 percent of the total regional production for selected non-food and industrial crops and had the biggest gain in production in terms of volume at 642,205 metric tons, although abaca (dried raw fiber) grew fastest at 24.4 percent. While aquaculture had the biggest share of the total fisheries production in Region X (46.3%), it also recorded the biggest drop at -21.6 percent, equivalent to 15,111.87 metric tons. The volume of fisheries production dropped 16.3% to 118,112.40 metric tons in 2021, with all fisheries subsectors decreasing production for the period. Overall however, the region was the 7th biggest regional economy with a 4.7 percent share of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2021. In fact, with a 5.1% growth in its Per Capita Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), it had the 2nd highest in the Philippines. and highest outside the National Capital Region. It was also one of the nine regions to surpass the Philippines growth of 5.7 percent with 6.3%, and was only one of four regions whose economy was able to rebound to prepandemic levels in 2021.

Tourism...

from page 10 will be surprised how many will follow them here the next time around. To these Soccer Babes of ours, Playing Football is More Fun in The Philippines! The 3-nil win over Thailand is no fluke. Our Soccer Babes have also qualified for next year’s FIFA’s Women’s World Cup to be held in Australia and New Zealand. Cebu is the next big venue for sports tourism. Set to take place on August 7 is the Megaworld 70.3 Ironman, after an absence of two years due to the pandemic. As of writing, nearly 2,000 athletes have registered, coming from at least 46 counties. Moving with trends, Sunrise Events of The Ironman Group has made sure the newly opened Cebu Cordova bridge (CCLEX) is part of the race route. Imagine the FB and Instagram posts of the soon to be iconic backdrop of all things Cordova. Imagine what a snapshot of the bridge, with 2,000 bikers pedaling up and down, would create to generate interest for a sleepy hollow town like Cordova. Taking advantage of the publicity can be a blessing for Cordova to create its position as a tourist destination with its rustic rural charms. A bridge carrying your name is mentioned thousands of times a day!
