House tackles bills creating evacuation centers per municipality

By ZALDY DE LAYOLA

MANILA – The House of Representatives has begun deliberations on the various bills seeking to establish evacuation centers in every city and municipality across the country as a permanent recourse for evacuation in times of calamities and natu ral or man-made disasters.

The legislative mill be gan rolling Thursday with the House Sub-Committee on Disaster Preparedness chaired by Lanao del Sur 1st District Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong, approving the con solidation of 26 House bills seeking to create and fund evacuation centers across the country.

The combined measures included House Bill (HB) 16, authored by Speaker Ferdi nand Martin Romualdez,

along with Tingog Partylist Representatives Yedda Marie Romualdez and Jude Acidre.

HB 16, which aims to establish standard-based evacuation centers in the country’s 1,488 municipali ties and 146 cities nation wide with the end view of decongesting temporary evacuation centers in public schools, is one of the priority measures of Romualdez.

In pushing for the mea sure, he said the traditional practice of using public schools as default evacuation centers must be stopped, considering that schools are not well-equipped to accommodate evacuees as they lack the necessary fa cilities.

“The use of schools as evacuation centers for dis

placed families also gives rise to another group of displaced individuals: the students,” Romualdez said.

“There should be no tradeoff between protecting lives and the education of stu dents. The provision of ad equate evacuation centers is of invaluable importance during cataclysmic times.”

HB 16 will be consoli dated with HBs 1091, 1714, 2256, 2542, 2773, 2826, 2940, 2995, 3047, 3466, 3498, 3774, 3778, 4145, 4233, 4381, 4685, 5109, 5152, 5158, 5185, and 5211 to come up with a substitute bill.

Adiong said the primary objective of the hearing is to conduct initial delib erations on all 26 bills so that all pertinent provisions from each measure would be properly discussed and

accounted for.

He also noted that a similar proposal was ap proved on the third and final reading at the House

ficials attended the hearing and personally thanked the senators, including Senator JV Ejercito, the primary sponspor of the OPS’ pro posed budget),” the OPS said.

Under the 2023 spending plan, the OPS proper will get a total appropriation of PHP623.196 billion, or more than half of the proposed budget.

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – Another batch of farmers in this province received on Friday cash assistance from the gov ernment through the Rice Competitiveness Enhance ment Fund - Rice Farmers Financial Assistance (RCEFRFFA) program.

A total of 3,805 farm ers from the different mu nicipalities of the province received PHP5,000 each during a distribution activity held at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center.

Under the special pro visions of the RCEF, the RFFA program provides un conditional cash assistance amounting to PHP5,000 to each rice farmer who is reg istered under the Registry Systems for Basic Sectors in Agriculture (RSBSA) and tills two hectares of land or less.

The fund comes from the rice tariffs collected annually in excess of the PHP10 billion allocated for the RCEF.

Crispulo Bautista, direc tor of the Department of Agriculture (DA) 3 (Cen tral Luzon), said the RFFA aims to provide monetary assistance as compensation

for the projected reduction or loss of farm income aris ing from the tariffication of the quantitative import restrictions on rice.

“The release of cash as sistance also provides relief to rice farmers given the recent natural calamities and will also aid them in securing farm inputs, such as fertilizer,” Bautista said in an interview.

He said aside from cash

assistance, the DA-3 is con tinuously providing various interventions to the palay farmers, such as hybrid seeds, certified palay seeds, fertilizer discount vouchers, and technical assistance.

Governor Dennis Pineda said he is thankful to the national government for giving an opportunity to support one of the pillars of the province’s economy which is agriculture.

He likewise reminded the farmer-beneficiaries to use the cash aid on agricultural inputs.

Mark Rivera, one of the farmer-beneficiaries, thanked the government for the assistance.

“Maraming salamat po sa ayuda na ibinigay ninyo sa amin. Makakasigurado po kayo na ibibili po namin ito ng pataba para sa palay

Let’s train ourselves to have a proper focus

WE are reminded of this very important duty to train ourselves to have a proper focus in life in that gos pel episode where Christ warned about people who were just immersed in their earthly affairs without giv ing any thought about the disasters that were coming to them. (cfr. Lk 17,26-37)

“As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man; they were eating and drink ing, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all,” he said. “Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all.” (Lk 17,26-29)

Now that the liturgical year is approaching its end, we are reminded that there are such things as our death, the end of time and the sec ond coming of Christ. We should be prepared always for these events, and align all the elements of our earthly life toward them. In other words, let’s have a proper focus.

For this, we definitely need to be taught so we can learn how to have that

focus. But to learn, we need to study and develop the proper attitudes, practices, virtues, etc. We have to undergo a certain discipline and follow a well-thoughtout plan.

Definitely, an important element in that plan would be the habit of “settling ac counts” with God by mak ing daily examinations of conscience. In our spiritual lives, it is important that we settle accounts with God regularly. In fact, saints and the Church herself have recommended that we make a daily examination of con science just before going to bed.

This is to see if the day went as it should, that is, if love for God and neighbor is really the motive behind all our actions, and so that we at least can be reconciled with God no matter how the day went. We should at least say sorry to God, even if we still have to do things to make up for our mistakes and sins.

This is an important task, because more than just resting physically, mentally or emotionally, we need to be at peace with God at the end of the day. God is everything to us. Regardless of our status at the moment, whether good or bad, moral or immoral, God not only

National gov’t support crucial to enhance LGU operations

WE are all living proof to this—business and govern ment transactions a few years back were among the most challenging and time-consuming interac tions Filipinos have ever encountered. Citizens have had to endure long lines and spend a significant amount of time to process documents and pay taxes and contributions.

This was only reduced with the introduction of digitalization in some gov ernment agencies.

Now, Filipinos need not physically travel and pay taxes and contributions, as the existence of digitaliza tion allowed for payments through online banking and electronic wallets at their own comfort.

Admittedly though, the adoption of digitalization in the Philippines remained relatively slow as compared with other countries. Ac cording to the Department of Finance (DoF), tax collec tions from local businesses in the second quarter of the year alone jumped by 58 percent to P83.7 billion, while real property taxes rose by 42 percent to P60.68 billion.

However, total collec tions from digital platforms

only amounted to PHP5.8 billion, which is just 2.3 percent of the total collec tions from local government units (LGU), and still far from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) target of digitalizing all retail pay ments by 50 percent. Last year, only 5 percent of LGUs in the Philippines imple mented methods to accept electronic payments through the electronic payment and collection system.

Finance Secretary Ben jamin Diokno thus renewed calls to LGUs to imple ment online payments as well to ensure that taxpayer transactions are simpler, safer, and quicker. He added that digitalization of opera tions—which has already been adopted by revenue collecting agencies such as the Bureau of Internal Rev enue (BIR) and the Bureau of Customs (BOC)—have resulted in the efficient tax administration through electronic means and which the LGUs can learn from.

Makati City can also be a good example to this. Just recently, the LGU was awarded as the top revenue collecting LGU in the Philip pines. According to Makati Mayor Abby Binay, the city’s strong revenue generation

will tell us what to do but also will give us what we need at that time.

In this regard, let’s hope that the daily practice of examination of conscience becomes normal and wide spread in us. It’s a real ne cessity, just like the daily accounting that business firms do if they are serious with their businesses. And frankly, can there be any more decisive human en deavor than caring for our soul, our principle of life?

The daily practice of ex amination of conscience means a lot of things. For one, it means that we under stand that our life is not just a natural, material, individual or social affair. Or simply our life.

It would show that we know our life is a life with God and with others, pur sued and developed in the spiritual and moral spheres more than in anything else. We need to do some ac counting of it not only for our own interest, but also and more importantly for the sake of God and of the others.

efforts are a result of its efficient revenue collection system, such as the MAKAConnect of the Makatizen Online Assessment and Payment Portal, which al lows residents and business owners to pay their taxes and renew their business permits online.

Binay explained that the portal prevents crowd ing at the city hall since it enables the residents and business owners to settle their government processes without the need for them to personally come to the city hall.

Digitalization is already offering the Philippines a way out to generate revenues for economic recovery. It is just waiting for us to take advantage of the opportu nities it has in store for us. The national government, being the backbone of the country’s development, must exhaust all measures and provide support to the local government and other agencies by providing them with the needed budget for digitalization and

“The training re-framed the farmers’ productionfocused practices towards more entrepreneurial and market-oriented farming operations. They will now definitely earn more in come from these learnings,”

Alfaro said.

The farmer-members of CVGA completed the 25 sessions of learning in seven months.

Hands-on tutoring was conducted on basic farm re cording, bookkeeping, and accounting, as well as new farming techniques, start ing from land preparation and planting to harvesting and marketing.

CDO biz groups seek tax relief extension

By NEF LUCZON CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY –

Local business groups urged the city government Friday to extend the deadline for tax reliefs and incentives.

Raymundo Talimio Jr., the Cagayan de Oro Cham

ber of Commerce and In dustry Inc. (Oro Chamber) president, said the extension will give local businesses more time to file their re quired tax obligations.

“We hope to cascade the information to the grass

roots level of our business community here,” Talimio said during a business forum here.

Since last year, he said the Oro Chamber has requested the city government to come up with tax relief packages as a result of the pandemic.

Last month, the City Council passed an ordinance which implemented a tax relief for business owners and a 20 percent tax dis count on real properties.

Under the tax relief ordinance, businesses are required to avail of the pro gram before Jan. 11, 2023, and pay the discounted balances on May 21, 2023.

Oro Chamber chairper son Efren Uy said the tax relief measures should be amended to remove sur charges and other interests for late payments.

Councilor George Gok ing, the committee chair on trade and commerce, assured the proposals will be discussed in the City Council next week.

“The ordinances are not perfect, but if there is a need to amend some provisions, then we will consider the suggestions,” Goking said.

John Asuncion, head of the city’s Trade and Invest ments Promotions Center, said the local government is eager to assist the business community with the filing of the documents in availing tax reliefs.

“Other than extending the deadlines, I encourage (the business owners) to file early so that everyone will be served,” Asuncion said.

DAVAO CITY – Vice Presi dent Sara Z. Duterte said Friday that it is ‘peace har vest season’ in Mindanao since it had been consider ably quiet for quite a time.

Speaking during the Ku sog Mindanaw Conference 2022 here, she cited that while the government had to deal with radicalized groups behind terror attacks in Mindanao, including the bomb attack that killed

civilians in this city in 2016 and the intensified military campaign against the New People’s Army, there has been no deployment of a big number of soldiers to Mindanao for a govern ment-initiated all-out-war.

“We have been told that there’s a time for everything. I believe it’s ‘peace harvest season for us now in Min danao,” Duterte said.

She took note of the peace initiatives in the

southern Philippines by two late former presidents –Fidel V. Ramos and Benigno Aquino III.

Duterte cited the sign ing of the peace agreement initiated by the Ramos ad ministration with the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) in 1996 and the signing of the Compre hensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Philip

pine government under the administration of Aquino III in 2014.

“Both presidents are no longer with us, but I believe that some of those who worked with their Peace Doves continue the Mind anao peace advocacy works even today. After the sign ing of the peace agreement between the MILF and the Philippine government in 2014, there have been no major wars in Mindanao,” Duterte said.

She added that Mindanao has been relatively silent even during her father’s administration, with the exemption of the foiled siege of Marawi City.

“The seeds of peace that you have planted all these years, the seeds of peace watered by the blood of Filipino martyrs who fought against each other, the seeds of peace nurtured by your sacrifices and bravery and that undying fire I see in your eyes — they have grown and their flowers now in bloom,” Duterte added.

She also lauded the contribution of the Kusog Mindanaw for spearheading the gathering of peace ad vocates, former combatants, government officials, private

during the pandemic.

The gift-giving is said to have started during the time of former President Rodrigo Duterte as mayor of the city.

Dayaday said the activ ity will start in the first week of December, but for the hard-to-reach areas, the gift packs may be delivered earlier in anticipation of possible weather distur bances.

“It is already the policy

of the Davao City govern ment to distribute goods to areas where the IPs live. We are just considering the weather disturbances that may affect the transporta tion of the food packs,” she added.

Dayaday added that while some of the IPs have arrived in the city, they will conduct a co ordination meeting with the Department of Social Welfare and Development

and representatives of vari ous municipalities with IP communities - Sta. Cruz in Davao del Sur and Agusan Davao del Sur and Davao del Norte to address their needs, safety, and their transport back to their communities.

“Because they are here in the city and they are bringing with them their children, our concern is that they will be run over by vehicles, they also have

no proper sleeping area and they have concerns on hygiene, so those are the things that will be dis cussed in our coordination meeting,” she said.

Apart from the giftgiving to the IP commu nities, Dayaday said that organized sectoral groups will also receive their gifts.

“For the sectoral groups, we will only distribute it to those groups that are organized,” she said. (PNA)

“Over the years, Kusog Mindanaw and its partners provided the country and the international communi ty with a platform to look at Mindanao from the perspec tive of the Mindanaoans, highlighting the struggle for recognition of the Moro and Lumad rights over their lands and territories, the longing for peace and the end of wars, or the dream of experiencing meaningful development and progress,” Duterte added.

She also urged the Min danaoans to have collective attention to maintaining peace in Mindanao which should remain to be on top of the Mindanao agenda.

“If ignored, a terror group’s activity, although it might appear harmless on the surface, could explode into something deadly — and may reduce a proud city into decay. War in Mindanao should be remembered only to remind us of why we should all work together and commit, protect, and defend peace at all costs,” she added.

“You have all the reasons to be proud of the tremen dous job that you have done for Mindanao and your fel low Mindanaoans,” Duterte said. ( PNA )

Among the objectives of Pagtanaw 2050 as presented by Acd Azanza are: Develop the Philippines’ scientific capital in the years leading to 2050; Chart Strategic Science, Technology and Innovation ( STI ) path ways; Mobilize vigilance on cooperative action plans; Identify emerging paths and source areas for develop ment in S&T; anticipate potential impacts to soci ety (economic, social and environmental); and Highlight emerging op portunities and threats.

Among the Major Dis ruptive Sciences and Tech nologies that we should see, detect, sense, and know more about include Basic Sciences, Mathematics and Statistics, Biotechnology, Neuroscience, Nanotech nology and New Materials, Big Data, Artificial Intel ligence, Sensorization and the Internet of Things, Cir cular Economy, Conflict

and Disruptions, Dynamics of technological change, and Impact studies esp. on Inequality.

The document also sug gests significant drivers of change and enablers, and provides insights and re flections on plausible STI development paths that will impact on the aspirations of the Filipino people and development of the nation towards 2050.

Its 12 key operational areas include the Blue Econ omy, Governance, Business and Trade, Digital Tech nology/ Information and Communications Technol ogy, Science Education and Talent Retention, Food Security and Nutri tion, Health System, Energy, Water, Environment and Climate Change; Shelter, Transportation, and Infrastructure; and Space Exploration.

Azanza stressed how the Philippines is at the center of the center of marine biodiversity in the world, thus the overarching need to protect our marine and coastal resources.

Labor Market Intel Meantime, Ms. Melissa Dominique C. Guino, Proj ect Research officer. Phil ippine Chamber of Com merce and Industry-Human Resources Development Foundation Inc. (PCCIHRDF) shared the results of the study on Labor Market Intelligence Report (LMI) on the fruits and vegetable processing sector.

possible human resource development interventions and improvements within the fruits and vegetables processing (F&V P) sector to serve as baseline data. It contains inputs from various stakeholders in the govern ment, industry and academe in seven study areas.

Among the findings of the study are opportunities in the sector against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, and an over view of skills demands and possible career development pathways in F&V P.

Additional areas to be looked into are EmployeeEmployer relationships, Skills gap and Improvement which includes food safety, IT, among others; and Mov ing forward strategies for the F&V P sector.

The study further recom mends the formulation of an HR Training Plan; Improved Student Internship program; and Training on food safety standards, warehousing and logistics, among others.

Agri Innovations in India

Not the least, Mr. Ni shikant Singh, First secre tary, Economic and Com merce, Embassy of India Manila presented Success Stories of Agri Innovations in India which the Min danao agriculture sector could adopt.

He described agriculture in India as an ever evolv ing landscape with many learnings such as digital technology in agriculture which encompasses the

value chain system with increasing efficiency in cluding farm machinery and automation, remote satellite data, traceability technologies and digital services.

For example, 100 drones were deployed to farmers (kisan) so that they need not venture to the fields to monitor the health of their crops. There is also a website or app for farmers named “M’ Kisan” which provides easy access to vital information over mobile phones.

He described the benefits of digital agriculture such as its focus on predictive analysis and optimization of available resources, con sidering how land is finite, thus the need to emphasized the equation of minimiz ing input and maximizing output.

Congress participants were encouraged to learn more about digital agri culture in India by visiting these websites: IBEF India Brand Equity Foundation; Invest India; Digital India; and Startup India.

And More More strategies and ideas were put forth in the Panel Discussion Moderated by Mr. John Carlo B. Tria, Past President, Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc.

Among those proposed were Investment promotion activities for S&T parks; Harnessing further the blue economy in Mindanao; Ef fectiveness of Apps in far-off areas, the “mental-inertia concept” and its comparative

and competitive advantages.

“The younger people are more techy. The current farmers are aging. We need technology to modernize agriculture and promote food security. This means that we need to inspire our young people to be innova tive farmers,” Mr. Tria noted.

Not the least, also recom mended to transform Min danao agriculture towards a food-secure future were Institutionalizing Inclusive Innovation collaboration for value adding and food manufacturing through S&T Parks; Harnessing Talent and Tools in Science and Technology to Innovate towards a Prosperous, Ar chipelagic, Maritime Nation by 2050; Utilizing the LMI reports to identify specific initiatives to promote up skilling of human resource in the food and vegetables processing sector; and learn ing from the success stories of Agri Innovations in India.

Action Group (AHJAG), and the Non-Violent Peace Force (NVFP) facilitated the forging of the ceasefire.

“We are happy to an nounce that a ceasefire agreement has been signed by the GPH and MILF, which brings to an end the armed encounter be tween government troops and MILF forces,” David Diciano, head of the Of fice of the Presidential Ad viser on the Peace Process’ (OPAPRU) Bangsamoro Transformation Program, said in a statement.

“We would like to thank the MILF CCCH and AH JAG for meeting with us and helping find ways on how we could immediately deescalate the situation, and finally put an end to the armed conflict,” he added.

Presidential Peace Ad viser Sec. Carlito G. Galvez, Jr. said that “this ceasefire demonstrates the desire of both parties to put an end to the armed conflict.”

“The ceasefire is a tes tament that the GPH and MILF’s peace mechanisms, the Coordinating Com mittee on the Cessation of Hostilities and the Ad Hoc Joint Action Group, are effective in de-escalating situations of conflict and are working,” Galvez said.

The peace adviser said he is confident that the ceasefire agreement will hold, saying, “We are also hopeful that armed clashes such as these will not happen again so as not to under mine the major gains we have achieved under the Bangsamoro peace process.”

Integration Research in dicates that using an inter disciplinary or integrated curriculum provides oppor tunities for more relevant, less fragmented, and more stimulating experiences for learners (Frykholm & Glasson, 2005; Koirala & Bowman, 2003;Jacobs, 1989). Interdisciplinary teaching depends on the way students best acquire knowledge, the important role of not only reaching students during their developmental stage but influencing the teaching of subjects, and (c) the coop erative involvement of both students and teachers plan ning and learning together to modify the instruction of the end product-the students (Jacobs, 1989; Antonellis & James, 1973). More and more educators are coming to realize that one of the fun damental problems in schools today is the “separate subject” or “layer cake” approach to knowledge and skills.

Students cannot solve problems because they do not understand the context in which the problems are embedded (Frykholm & Glasson, 2005). Thus, rea diing is very important in order for students to compre hend the given problem. The separate subject curriculum can be viewed as a jigsaw puzzle without any picture. If done properly, integration

of math and science could bring together overlapping concepts and principles in a meaningful way and enrich the learning context. Learn ing situated in such enriched (macro) contexts often lead to meaningful learning expe riences. Carefully designed interactive videos are suitable for creating real-life contexts for problem-based learning in mathematics integrated with science (Kumar and Sherwood, 1997).

The integration of math and science encompasses a number of considerations, for example, teaching math entirely as a part of science, math as a language and tool for teaching science, or teach ing science entirely as a part of math. This will help save time, especially in exami nation schedules, instead of spending two separate schedules for science and math, it will be done once only.

Presently, the Division of Misamis Oriental is inte grating English, Science and Mathematics (ENSCIMA) thru HOLISTIC Assessment. These three subject areas are integrated and that they are interrelated. This will also lessen the contact time in the summative test for these subjects since students are given summative tests in one setting only instead of three separate time.

Galvez thanked the AFP for “doing its best to contain the conflict” and “prevent ing the loss of lives,” as he also commended Basilan’s local government officials headed by Governor Jim Hataman Salliman and Un gkaya Pusan Mayor Jomar Maturan for leading the call for an immediate ceasefire between the parties.”

“We are also thankful to the MILF Peace Imple menting Panel headed by Chairman Mohagher Iqbal for calling on both sides to de-escalate the situa tion, and most importantly, ensure the well-being of residents,” he added.

“The signing of the Com prehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) ended decades of armed hostilities between the GPH and MILF, and created an environment where just a long-lasting peace can take root and flourish,” Galvez said.

“Under the Marcos Ad ministration’s banner of unity, let us all work together to make this vision a reality. Let us heed the lessons of the past and apply them, as we continue to move forward and sustain the dividends of the Bangsamoro peace process,” he stressed.

In a statement on Wednesday, Mohagher Iqbal, MILF peace imple menting peace chair, said the Basilan clash “was an unfortunate incident that

Digitalization creates a space where the public and private sectors can work hand in hand for the greater good of constituents. With digitalization, the country’s revenues can dramatically enhance while operations will be streamlined for the benefit of the Filipi no citizens. In addition, it will allow the economy to survive even under the most challenging economic conditions, and businesses that have transitioned from bricks to clicks have already been a huge testament to this.

The OPS was ecstatic over the Senate’s approval of the proposed PHP619.53 million budget for IBC.

The station was previ ously allotted zero budget by

the Department of Budget of Management and em ployees feared closure or privatization.

“The lingering problem, which has been swept under the rug through the years, the unpaid retirement ben efits of retirees from 2009 up to 2023 which amounted to P490 million,” Ejercito said in defending the budget.

In a radio interview in September, IBC president Hexilon Alvarez said they have “outstanding obliga tions” to their employees and retirees and cannot meet the amount promised to them under their collec tive bargaining agreement.

Reestablished under Executive Order (EO) 2 inked by President Fer dinand R. Marcos Jr. on June 30, the OPS serves as the administration’s lead communications arm tasked to ensure the effective de livery and dissemination of information related to the actions, policies, pro grams, official activities, and accomplishments of the executive branch.

Vergeire said they ex plained to the legislators that Filipinos are all linked or tied to the state of national calamity declaration, hence a replacement is significant.

“During the meeting, the President specifically said this is a priority bill and it has to be passed,” she said.

As for the Covid-19 situation, Vergeire said there will still be cases as the coronavirus continues to mutate and may even be more transmissible or vaccine-evasive, but the country can manage.

“Nakaka-manage tayo through our health care facilities tapos alam natin mas maraming bakunado ngayon. Most especially, may antivirals kasi tayo ngayon. Mas kumokonti ‘yung nagiging severe (We manage through our health care facilities and more are vaccinated now. Most especially, we have antivi rals and severe [cases] are decreasing),” she said.

On November 10, a total of 1,267 new infections were reported to raise the active cases tally to 16,526.

“What the LGU has done (is) we had a meeting two times already and the ac tion was for all the wells of DepEd Iloilo City schools to be cleaned and disinfected because 90 percent of these wells are actually infected (with) coliform,” she said.

Vilchez emphasized the need for constant and regu lar cleaning, disinfection, and chlorination of wells.

She also assured that their school personnel and learners bring their own water or buy from establish ments selling bottled water.

Iloilo City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas has also ordered the City Health Office to make sure that establish ments selling water have permits.

Meanwhile, Iloilo Schools Division Superintendent Ma. Lus de Los Reyes, citing initial information gathered by her office and quoting a report from the provincial health office, said the ice water used to prepare the “buko pandan” juice that caused the reported food poisoning of learners and teachers at the Pili National High School in Ajuy Iloilo came from contaminated sources outside the school.

“Results showed that it was not poisoning but amoeba. All of them posi tive of amoeba,” she said.

She added that of the 46 affected, one died, three are still confined at the Sara District Hospital in Sara town, one is under home treatment, and the rest have been discharged.

De Los Reyes was re quested by the regional director to submit a report that would be forwarded to the legal unit for appropriate action.

Iloilo Provincial Health Officer Maria Socorro Qui ñon, in a separate media statement, said two of the four water sources were contaminated with coliform and two others have E.coli.

Color of Meranaws. This explains why the dominant color in a Pagana is yellow and the food prepared are mostly yellow because it is a Royal Occasion.

The entrees served in clude beef, chicken, and fowl which are cooked and served with coconut shavings as the main ingredient, fried with vegetables or cooked in other ways. Another salient feature of the Pagana is the palapa spice made from onion bulbs, ginger, and chili pepper simmered in coconut oil.

The spirit of hospital ity is highly valued by the Meranaws seeing that it fosters a sense of belong ingness, peace, unity, and harmony in their society. Thus, the Pagana remains a signature of the timeless beauty of Meranaw culture in the Land of Beauty and Bounty.

This Pagana Maranao was made possible through the efforts of the Lanao del Norte Provincial Tourism Office headed by Alerma Grace Y.

The US consumer price index (CPI) in the 10th month of the year rose by 0.4 percent every month and 7.7 percent year on year, slower than the previous month’s 8.2 percent.

Rizal Commercial Bank ing Corp. chief economist Michael Ricafort, in a re port, said the local currency finished the day’s trade at its strongest since Sept. 15, 2022, when it closed at 57.16.

Aside from the positive inflation developments in the US, he said, the local currency also benefited from the sharp decline of the US dollar overnight after China decided to ease the quarantine period for in ward travelers from 10 days to eight days and scrapped flight bans.

“Global crude oil prices still lingering among ninemonth lows recently still partly supported sentiment on the peso and the rest of the local financial markets,” he said.

Ricafort said the latest domestic output report for the Philippines, as well as positive foreign direct in vestment (FDI) data, also lifted sentiments.

“The relatively stable peso exchange rate also brought about by signals/ reiterations recently on local policy rate hikes of as much as +0.75 on the next ratesetting meeting on Nov. 17, 2022,” he said, referring to the meeting of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ policymaking Monetary Board.

For next week, he forecast the peso to trade between 56.75 and 57.75 to the US dollar. ( PNA )

By TITO MIKE

LANAO del Norte Gover nor and newly appointed Regional Development Council Region 10 (RDC-X) Chairperson Imelda “Ang ging” Dela Cruz Quibran za- Dimaporo, hosted a Pagana Meranaw for the government and executives of the various chambers of commerce of Mindanao at a local hotel following the October 26 launch of the twin exhibits of the recently concluded Mindanao Food Congress 2022.

The delegation from the India Business Forum (IBF) led by H.E. Shambhu S. Kumaran, Ambassador of India to the Philippines graced the occasion along with Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Rolando “Klarex” Uy, Misamis Oriental Governor Peter “Sr. Pedro” M. Unabia, and chamber executives led by Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) Vice President for Mindanao Art Milan, PCCI Region X Governor and Mindanao Food Congress Director Ruben A. Vegafria, and Oro Chamber President Ray Talimio, Jr. The Pagana was also graced by mem bers of the Lanao del Norte Sangguniang Panlalawigan headed by Vice Governor Allan Lim.

Pagana Meranaw is a traditional feast of the Mer anaws to welcome special guests and visitors with foods and delicacies.

Pagana is a Meranaw term literally means to serve halal food for the guests and visitors in the tabak (a food tray with stand made of gold brass) setting on a floor just like the old ways in a wide and spacious living area of a torogan (traditional Meranaw houses).

Pagana would also means treating the visitors and very important guests with the highest form of hospitality, kindness and respect. This also signifies the host’s level of civility and indicates

the degree of the host’s grace. Sitting on the floor reminds everyone that we are all equal and our utmost humility as host. Pagana is given utmost significance by Meranaw of Lanao because it fosters peace, solidarity and unity.

Traditionally, the hosts and the guests of a Pagana Meranaw are dressed in malongs or tutubs, the Mer anaws traditional attire. All the guests present were given malongs as gift with a customized lampanakanay basket by the kind and gen erous Gov. Angging.

“I want you all to know that by sitting on the floor, I am not punishing you. This is just the way we do it the Meranaw way,” Governor Angging explained in her welcome remarks.

Rep. Abdullah “Bobby” D. Dimaporo explained that the Pagana is a customary and traditional banquet depicting their innate hos pitality, carried out in an

elegant festivity and gaiety in a manner acceptable to Islamic laws and principles.

Pagana is afforded to guests during special oc casions such as enthrone ments, weddings, gradua tions, engagements, merry making, and homecoming of people who had gone to the Hajj or Islamic pilgrim age—and during the two religious feasts, Eid’l Adha and Eid’l Fitr.

The occasion begins with a solemn prayer, followed by the welcome message from the host Gov. Angging. Followed by a cultural pre sentation from the LaNorte Dance Artists for Peace.

MSU-LNAC Culture Affairs Coordinator, Bong bong Umpa Busran (who headed the Pagana venue decoration) then briefed the guests with an overview of the Pagana Meranaw.

performance showcasing the unique skill and artis tic ways of using the basal (decorated stick used to

strike the kulintang) in a musical performance, after which guests were lavishly treated with a sumptuous banquet, and a Cultural Performers Showcase of Maranao Music and Dance as they enjoyed their meal.

The banquet is arranged in a dulang dining set, with traditional Maranao dishes served on tabak (brass food trays) around which four guests are seated on cush ions. The food trays are covered with ampas (deco rated tabak cover). Utensils and plates are upside down to stress sanitation.

The whole display in the dining hall (dressed up as a

living room in a traditional Torogan) was decorated with accents of gold and silver, symbolizing the colors of prestige and nobility.

Since Meranaws are Muslims, food should be Halal (permissible under Islamic law). Pork is strictly prohibited.

The typical yellow hue of Maranao dishes, which can be seen in many dishes like kuning (yellow rice), comes from kalawag (tur meric powder), which is believed to have medicinal properties.

Yellow (benaning) is also considered as the Royal
