Davao Oro town closes cemeteries Oct. 29 to Nov. 4 By PREXX MARNIE KATE TROZO

DAVAO CITY – Nabunturan town in Davao de Oro on Tuesday ordered the closure of all public and private cemeteries and memorial parks for visitors from October 29 to November 4. Mayor Chelita Amatong signed Executive Order (EO) No. 49, saying residents should follow the schedule of visitation, the use of the StaySafe App, and the Undas Pass in visiting the public cemetery to fully implement social distancing. The EO added that the Nabunturan Covid-19 Crisis Team has foreseen the need to further restrict mass gatherings in cemeteries, memorial parks, including columbaria, to prevent

super spreader events and observe the minimum public health standards during the “Undas” Season. “Recent Covid-19 patient timelines and contact tracing revealed that mass gatherings and personal/ family milestones are a contributory factor in identifying and tracing increased numbers of close contacts of Covid-19 positive individuals,” it said. Amatong said in the EO that in all cemeteries and memorial parks in the municipality, the number of visitors shall be limited to a maximum of 30 percent of the venue capacity, with the wearing of face masks and face shields and the See CLOSES, page 10

Pilot run of face-to-face classes to start on November 15 By IRENE P. GARCIA, Teacher III East City Central School Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City

THE pilot test of face-toface classes in the country will start on November 15, the Department of Education (DepEd) said. The pilot run of face-toface classes will begin on the said date, which is also the start of the second academic quarter. The assessment of the initial run will be conducted from November 15 to December 22, while the end of the pilot study is scheduled for January 31. In February, DepEd is set to conduct an evaluation of the pilot study, identify other schools for expansion of the face-to-face classes, inspect sites, and present to President Rodrigo Duterte the report on the pilot test and the proposed expansion.

The DepEd plans to expand the holding of face-toface classes to other schools and areas on March 7. In September, Duterte approved the holding of faceto-face classes in areas with minimal risk for COVID-19. DepEd earlier said 100 public schools and 20 private schools will be participating in the pilot test. Face-to-face classes, even in limited form, can mitigate the challenges of distance learning. The pilot test will cover kindergarten to Grade 3 students without existing comorbidities, while only subjects that require laboratories or workshops for senior high schools will be allowed to have in-person classes.

Teaching in the new normal By BELINDA DONGGON PRIOLO Teacher III Butadon Elementary School Butadon, Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte

AS the demand for online learning increases, DepEd underscores the need for various sectors to work together in providing Internet services and connectivity to teachers who are the education sector’s very own frontliners amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The demand for online learning is huge. It is very important that Internet service providers, telecommunications companies, LGUs and DICT work together in the spirit of Bayanihan to provide Internet services and connectivity to teachers who are ready to learn and be capacitated to facilitate learning under these very trying times. The desire to upskill ourselves and our excitement

over webinar sessions is testament of our resourcefulness and fortitude despite the lack of mobile coverage in our areas. The magnitude of teachers who have shown interest in learning ICT-based teaching is a testament of our commitment to learn new ways of teaching that will ensure the safety of our children. Until formal classes start using blended/distance learning approaches, teachers are expected to attend orientation and training activities on the utilization of the distance learning delivery modalities, prepare instructional materials and plan the organization of classes in consideration of the learning delivery modalities to be employed.

COTABATO CITY – The police have now started their investigation into the recent killing of a drug store owner in Barangay Rosary Heights 11:00 am, Monday morning here. Capt Rustom Pastolero, city police station 2 chief, said the victim in the broad daylight shooting incident was DJR Pharmacy owner Dessirie Jumalon Rabia, 58. She died while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Cotabato City, it was learned. Initial investigation showed that one of the assassins posed as a store customer at the DJR Pharmacy located along Teodoro V. Juliano Street around 10:00 am on Monday. When the

suspect gained clear sight of the target, he immediately pulled his gun and without provocation shot Rabia. After seeing the victim bathed in blood the gunman immediately fled to unknown directions on board a motorbike driven by his companion. The police officer said the victim sustained gunshot wounds in his arm and abdomen. She was immediately brought to the Regional and Medical Center in the city but expired a few hours later. Pastolero said: “Crime scene investigators recovered four empty shells for a .45-caliber pistol at the scene.” The police official said they are still “facing a black wall” as to the main motive

Their Existence Speaks of Social Injustice

“THE more than 120 Electric Cooperatives in the country with some 13 million members are cooperatives in name only and are not genuine cooperatives.” This was the gist of the Supreme Court’s decision penned by Justice Mariano del Castillo in 2003 in the case entitled, “PHILRECA VS. DEPT. OF FINANCE.” As pronounced by the Supreme Court, while they use the title COOPERATIVE but they do not follow the time honored and universally accepted cooperative principles and values. Why is this so? Let us go back to history. It was no less than the late former Vice President Emmanuel Pelaez from Cagayan

de Oro City who advocated for rural electrification in the late ‘60s as electricity then was just confined in the urban centers. After passing the Rural Electrification Law, nationalist senators, i.e. Sen. Lorenzo M. Tañada and Sen. Jose Diokno together with some congressmen went to the United States and observed the operations of Electric Cooperatives. They were astonished how these Electric Cooperatives operate, being members-owned (owned and managed by Member-Consumer-Owners or MCOs). Yes, electricity is a means to life, just like water and air and must be owned and managed by the member-consumers them-

selves. As a means to life, such must be beyond the commerce of men especially of a few oligarchs for so much raking. MERALCO for example has so much raking and according to my friend, the former Secretary of Dept. of Energy – Sec. Jericho Petilla – its Senior Officials are receiving six million pesos monthly salary. Thus, the Philippines in 1969 began rural electrification and must be done the cooperative way like those in the United States, owned and managed by the MCOs who are entitled to See SPEAKS, page 11

Have my say

Thirty pieces of silver

THE thirty pieces of silver were the price of Judas’ betrayal. The way Judas identified Jesus for the authorities was to approach Jesus and greet him with a kiss of identification. “Thirty pieces of silver” refers to payment received for an act of treachery. The apostle Judas, probably also called Thaddeus or Jude, being a brother of James, started as a fervent follower of Christ. Then, suddenly he changed. He felt that Christ didn’t satisfy his worldly expectations. The church, like Christ, is always loved by its true followers and is always hated by its apostates. Till today - no matter what belief you are in... . The silver in these 30 coins would be worth

$197.40 today. The coins themselves, being ancient and historical, would of course be priceless, but at the time they were just regular silver coins used as instruments of commerce. That $197.40 is a value out of time, however. The phrase “30 pieces of silver” is a proverb in many modern languages. It refers to someone who has sold out and taken money, high office or personal gain in exchange for betraying a person or an important cause. Judas didn’t leave the apostolic community to become a Pharisee or a critic of Christ. He leaves to become a traitor! Such a traitor will always find fault or a misinterpretation of human teaching. Judas

The CYNOSURE

Klaus Doring

gathered reasons that he, himself, had heard and witnessed to justify his betrayal. Yes, we all also know such people who betray us and sometimes a whole nation. A Jewish mob tried to throw Christ down a cliff, but nothing happened. Soldiers tried to arrest Him, but nothing happened. The Pharisees tried to entrap Him to no effect. It needed a friend -maybe a good friend! - to betray Him. He escaped from all, but not from the treason of a See SILVER, page 11

(in the New Normal)

Of morons and crook politicians

JUST wondering about undeserving individuals running for top post during elections. Well, that is a right guaranteed in the constitution. The Philippine constitution clearly states that any natural born Pilipino citizen, of legal age and able to read and write is eligible to run for public office. There is, however, no provision that restricts a mentally challenged individual to run for an elective public post. Neither, the constitution bars the corrupt nor prohibits a person facing graft charges in the court of law. Anyway, the principle that an individual is presumed innocent until

proven guilty provides an armor that protects the corrupt masquerading as public servant. The “unless proven guilty” phrase has been subject of abuse that ensures the corrupt public official of constitutional protection amid public consternation. Who cares? The voters accept few bills in exchange of votes thereby allowing the corrupt and the morons to hold public office. The idea that the voters are easily bought for a few pieces of silver are held as the rule of the day during election period. In fairness, there are candidates who abhor vote buying. Perhaps, the candidates detesting vote buying could be ideal. Don’t be fooled, these cretins

Cris Diaz

are equally corrupt, too. Their “no to vote buying” advocacy is only a cover up to run away from financial commitments. How could one trust them? Thus, with the filing of the certificates of candidacy (COC), the voters were now aware of the characters of the wannabes. Obviously, the “great pretenders” came out of their shells to file the COC believing that they could again fool the voters this time. The CYNOSURE will tackle the characters of these candidates, especially those running in the localities Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro City.

2022 Philippine Presidential Bid Senator Panfilo Lacson MANILA, PHILIPPINES Senator Panfilo Lacson and Senate President Vicente Sotto III are the first tandem to formally announce their presidential and vice presidential bids for the 2022 Philippines elections.

Dressed casually in plaid shirts and jeans, the two spoke to a combination of a live audience and video call viewers due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Murder charges were filed against Lacson and his men for shooting 11 members of the Kuratong Baleleng syndicate in an operation in 1995 criticized as a “rubout.” In 2003, Judge Theresa Yadao of Quezon City regional trial court dismissed the case against them for lack of probable cause. In 2013, the Supreme Court dismissed the murder case with finality. Lacson went into hiding in January 2010, after a local court issued a warrant for his arrest in relation to a the November 2000 murder of publicist Salvador Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito. Lacson denied any involvement in the killings and blamed President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s administration for persecuting him. He came out of hiding in March 2011. In November 2011, the Supreme Court affirmed a Court of Appeals ruling to clear Lacson of the charges.

Statements and actions on the key issues PANDEMIC: Lacson has called for the replacement of Health Secretary Francisco Duque III and said the government should stop relying on the private sector when it comes to the pandemic. “It is pathetic that our national health authorities are no dif-

Lacson was one of the authors of RA 11469 or the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act. WEST PHILIPPINE SEA: Lacson was one of the senators who supported Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana in demanding that Chinese military leave Julian Felipe Reef (Whitsun Reef) in the West Philippine Sea. “Filipinos should stand foursquare behind DND Secretary Delfin Lorenzana for making known his strong position in defending our country’s sovereign rights over the Whitsun Reef (Julian Felipe Reef) – and, before that, the Mischief Reef, occupied by the Chinese during the period 1994 to 1995 and the Scarborough Shoal, which China cordoned off in 2012,” Lacson said on April 5, 2021.

FUNDS FOR DISTRICT HOSPITALS SHOULD BE DEVOLVED

ONCE he becomes President, Senator Panfilo Lacson wants funds for district hospitals devolved to local government units (LGUs). Lacson said this change becomes more important as the country deals with the pandemic and its prolonged effect to the nation’s health. “This is a concern expressed to me in my consultations with LGU heads and health officials. Lalo na ngayong tumataas ang kaso ng Covid sa probinsya,” he stressed. The presidential candidate said money for district hospitals are appropriated thru the Department of Health’s (DOH) Facilities

Enhancement Program (HFEP) but are of ten trapped by the inefficiencies of the agency. “District hospitals are unmanned as there are no facilities because the DOH is sometimes slow in downloading or procuring equipment for district hospitals. You have district hospitals that are incapable of providing service to those in need,” Lacson said. Lacson believes LGUs are in a better position to assess their urgent health needs. If they are given the capacity to procure facilities for district and even provincial hospital, they can deal with their health concerns faster

and better. “For the 2022 budget, we should itemize and even earmark funds for the HFEP and even personnel that will man the district hospitals. Funds are needed especially in the poorer provinces,” he emphasized. Lacson, who has championed the downloading of funds to the LGUs for their development projects, maintains that this will also address the DOH’s ballooning unused appropriations. “Ang nangyayari ngayon, ang laki ng unused appropriation sa DOH (What is happening now is that the DOH has a huge unused appropriation),” he said.

a president that would have a different “brand of leadership” to respond to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the country’s prevailing problems. “Running for president of this country should not be aimed against any particular person,” Lacson said in a statement on the eve of the filing of COCs before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Thursday, September 30. “Rather, it must purely depend on our honest desire to uplift the lives of our

countrymen who have suffered more than enough from incompetence and shameless corruption, mostly caused by the callous machinations of those in power whose conscience has given way to their greed,” he added. Lacson stressed that the country is still “at war” with the COVID-19, unemployment, and hunger. He further cited the country’s “humongous national debt and alarming budget deficit”, as well as the continuing incursions of China in the West Philippine Sea.

“We cannot anymore afford a ‘more of the same’ brand of leadership during this crucial time in our nation’s history. We should know by now that it doesn’t work,” Lacson said. “We need a leader, not a pretender. We need a good leadership track record, not apprenticeship; we need tested honesty and integrity in public service, not lip service and double-speak,” he further said. *** https://www.facebook. com/PingLacsonOfficial

More NPA surrenderers under EO 70: Army exec By NEF LUCZON

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY The signing of Executive Order (EO) 70 by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte in 2018 proved to be effective in convincing more New People Army (NPA) guerillas to surrender, according to an Army official. At a conference in Bukidnon on Tuesday, Maj. Gen. Romeo S. Brawner Jr., Army’s 4th Infantry Division commander, said for the longest time, the approach of the government in ending communist-led insurgency was through military offensives. “It did not address (fully) the root of the problem, but it’s the delivery of basic (government) services to the people (that is the bigger solution),” he said during the program at the 403rd Infantry Brigade headquarters in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon, where a total of 30 former rebels officially surrendered. They will receive amnesty projects under the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program, he said. Brawner said with EO 70’s “Whole-of-Nation Approach,”

both government agencies and the citizens can help in providing projects and programs to the former rebels who have surrendered. EO 70 pursues to institutionalize the whole-of-nation approach for collective participation and action in harmonizing government development efforts and services to support, facilitate and pursue the country’s peace agenda. “Before, local governments had no direct involvement (with anti-communist insurgency campaigns), but now we can see them in the forefront,” Brawner said. Charmaine Tadlas, a community relations officer of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in Region 10 (Northern Mindanao), said former rebels are gradually made to integrate

into communities after their surrender. “Before we prepare them (former rebels) to the communities, we prepare the communities first,” she said. Ta d l a s s a i d a rou n d PHP300,000 worth of projects and rehabilitation are conducted in every community that will receive former rebels for reintegration into mainstream society. She said their agency also provides psycho-social support for former rebels who experience bullying and discrimination. New life One of the recent surrenderers was a family of four who were once part of the NPA’s Guerilla Front 89, SubRegional Committee 2, North Central Mindanao Regional Committee.

Led by Ronald Landasan, 47, and wife Diden, 43, a finance officer, they surrendered at the 8IB’s headquarters in Impasugong, Bukidnon on Oct. 8, 2021. With them are their two daughters - Honey Mae, 21, a medic; and Yassi, 16, a platoon member. “We want to live peacefully. My daughter Yassi was only 14 years old when she joined (the NPA). My daughter Honey is seven months pregnant. I am afraid that they will die in the

mountains fighting for the wrong ideals,” Diden said in the vernacular. Ronald was the one who divulged locations of NPA hideouts and arms cache in Bukidnon which led to the recent discovery of 1,076 pieces of dynamites used as antipersonnel landmines (APMs). The NPA, together with the Communist Party of the Philippines and the National

Democratic Front, is listed as a terrorist organization by the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines. (PNA)

He is optimistic that Davao City with a target population of 1.2 million will be able to achieve herd immunity before the end of the year. “When we had the surge during the last 4 months, our frontliners almost about to give-up and were very much overwhelmed with the number of cases we have in the province, the vaccination campaign was the hope that we cling on to. It was the silver lining in this pandemic. Despite the surge, someday this would end with all the vaccination efforts that we are doing,” Davao Oriental Provincial Health Officer Dr. Reden Bersaldo said. The recent delivery of vaccines in the region are expected to be delivered to the different cities and municipalities.

patronage refund and interest on capital from the ECs’ gargantuan monthly profit. In the United States, the ECs are so economically-viable that they can provide free hospitalization and scholarship programs for their members and families. The US Assistance for International Development (US-AID) provided aid assistance at the tune of $800 million dollars for choosing rural electrification the cooperative way. But the United States was so aghast when it was brought to its attention that these so-called Electric Cooperatives were cooperatives in name only. In 1972, the US informed the Philippine Government then to rectify such wrong. Thus, the Phil Gov’t requested another set of loan from the World Bank by billions of dollars to be used for Pre-Education Seminars (PMES) on Cooperativism to their million members. But the funds were used against insurgency as it was then the period of Martial Law and Generals were on top of the Department of Energy. Indeed, records would show that it was then Generals who were running the National Electrification Administration and the Department of Energy. In fact, a Presidential Decree has been issued which was PD 1645 named after M-16 and 45 Caliber and the powers given to NEA were under Sec. 357, named after Magnum 357. After the EDSA People-Powered Revolution, the framers of the 1987 Constitution wanted to rectify such social wrong under the initiative of our very own hero Nene Pimentel and created the Cooperative Development Authority whose reason for being was clearly provided for in Sec. 15, Art. 12, which is, “to promote the viability and growth of cooperatives as instruments of social justice, equity and economic development.” A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed between the first Chairperson of CDA, Chair Edna Aberilla and then DOE Secretary, Emmanuel Pelaez that these so-called Electric Cooperatives must register with CDA within three years. An Omnibus Rules and Regulations were drafted to put the Agreement into reality. But these so-called ECs have all these years created a strong cabal of vested interest. Of the more than 120 ECs, only 13 were registered with CDA that have recognized the capital contributions of their respective MCOs. Why are some oligarchs who are profiting so much from electricity do not want these ECs to become genuine cooperatives? In fact, some of these CDA registered ECs have decided to become corporations so that a few elites can have their massive raking. Indeed, in not following the time-honored and universally-accepted cooperative principles and values the existence of so-called Electric Cooperatives is a great social injustice and must be rectified. WHY IS THIS SO? Look at the monthly payments of the members. Every month in the last 70 years, the members being MCOs are paying two items which can be considered their capital contribution: 1) AMORTOZATION OF LOANS at about P0.85 per kilo-watt hour and 2) REINVESTMENT at about P0.11 per kilo—watt hour. Based on the MCO’s computation, such would have a total of monthly payment of P85 per month or about P1000 every year, that is, if the MCO is consuming about ERRATUM In correction with the publication of Extrajudicial Settlement of the Estate of TIMOTEO D.CHAN with Adjudication of Ownership and Absolute Sale of a Portion of Land published on Sept.14, 21 & 28 2021, the correct Location of Lot No.2214 with T.D.No.05000504096 with an area of 5,962 Sq.M. is Bonbon, Sagay, Camiguin, and the correct full name of the Vendee is ROSAN QUERUBIN CAMPION MUAÑA also with her resident the correct is Maranding, Sagay, Camiguin, not as been published. Our apology

200 KW per month. As these so-called Electric Cooperatives have been existing in the past 70 years, a number of MCOs may already have some P70,000 capital-share in their respective ECs. Such computations were based on the information and analysis of a strong advocate to cooperativize ECs, my good friend – the late Roberto Rosales who passed away early this year because of the pandemic. Multiply this amount by 13 million (MCOs), the MCOs’ capital shares may already have reached hundreds of billions of pesos! If such is not fully recognized following the cooperative principles of accountability and transparency, then such could be a great social injustice! In series of consultations and referenda, these MCOs had been advocating that these so-called Electric Cooperatives must register with the Cooperative Development Authority to become genuine cooperatives. In fact, in a Referendum, 50 thousands voted for CDA, only 1 thousand for NEA as in the case of the Davao del Norte Electric Cooperative (DANECO). Knowing that VOX POPULI, VOX DEI (voice of the people is the voice of God), DANECO was registered with CDA. But those advocating have been killed, and the former CDA Chairman for just issuing a Certificate of Compliance to DANECO, for attending its General Assembly, and for standing for what is true, what is right, what is just, and social justice is now facing a SANDIGAN BAYAN case, initiated by an Agency of Government whose head has just been kicked-out by President Duterte for corruption. Now, tell me, who is really corrupt? Indeed, the non-full disclosure and non-full recognition of the 13 million member-consumerowners (MCOs) of their capital shares now amounting to hundreds of billions of pesos speaks of social injustice. Such is contrary to the intention of the framers of the Rural Electrification Law that must follow the spirit and essence of cooperativism to democratize wealth and power. These 13 million MCOs with an average family members of five will constitute a mass base of some 65 million Filipinos whose poverty could have been reduced if only their capital shares are well recognized in the spirit of transparency and accountability which means receiving monthly patronage refund and interest on capital very much needed at this time of pandemic characterized by so much hunger and poverty and where unemployment has reached 8.1% of the population or 3.18 million Filipinos. Has any politician raised this glaring social injustice? No one because many are financed by the elites, conglomerates and oligarchs who are in control not only of water but of electricity. Indeed, enough is enough of oligarchical control as water and electricity are means to life and must not be the subject of so much raking by the oligarchs! As stated by no less than President Duterte in his 2020 SONA,:” ENOUGH IS ENOUGH OF OLIGARCHICAL CONTROL” especially of water and electricity!

Wed-Thu, October 13-14, 2021 hurled, for example, to Pilate or Herod. The lesson for all of us is very clear. A bad politician or one of our neighbors can be the foulest thing on earth. A bad pagan cannot be 1/10 corrupt. “Do not betray another man’s confidence!” the bible teaches us. But Judases can be found everywhere. Just as fire is not born from snow, so is the seeker after worldly honors not seeking heavenly ones. or have you ever seen the snow catch fire? The maladroit politician named Judas betrays his voter and elector through beautiful soft promises while corrupting a whole nation. The neighbor, who declares how much he loves his family while going on unhindered destroying the environment is also named Judas... . Judas’ sins are really not rare. We commit it every day. Someone who have changed his ideals away from the ideals of the church and declares it to the world, anyone who leaves the church or the religious order and proclaims it to the world, “night has fallen on his soul”! When Julius Caesar was being assassinated what hurt him was not the stabs of Caius but the presence of his friend Brutus. We might never know it, but we could be carrying on our lips the kiss of Judas or very ready to pay the thirty pieces of silver. +++ Email: doringklaus@gmail.com or follow me in Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin or visit www.germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot.com or www.klausdoringsclassicslmusic. blogspot.com

The program aims to encourage more students and higher education personnel to get inoculated against Covid-19. Roque lauded the newly vaccinated students for heeding the government’s call to participate in the immunization campaign against the coronavirus. “Binabati ko po ang ating mga kauna-unahang mga kabataan na mababakunahan na. Matapos po ng napakatagal na paghihintay, ang ating mga kabataan ay mabibigyan na rin ng proteksyon laban sa seryosong pagkakasakit (I laud the minors who have already been vaccinated. After the long wait, the youth will now be given the protection against serious illness),” he said. President Rodrigo Duterte earlier approved the vaccination of the general population, including the minors, beginning October this year. The pediatric vaccination in the country will be done first among individuals belonging to 15 to 17 age group. Following Duterte’s approval, there is no reason for students and personnel of higher education institutions (HEIs) not to become “100 percent vaccinated,” Roque said. “Ang mensahe sa lahat ng kabataan, magpabakuna na po ng tayo po ay makapagbalikbuhay. Dahil sa bakuna, puwedeng bumalik buhay (The message to the youth is to get vaccinated to enable us to return to normal life. The vaccine will help us return to normal life),” he said. There are currently 181 HEIs allowed to resume F2F classes for medicine and allied health sciences. In September, Duterte also approved the resumption of limited in-person classes for engineering and technology, hotel and restaurant management, tourism and travel management, marine engineering, and marine transportation. De Vera said around 73 percent of HEI personnel in 1,488 universities and colleges nationwide have already been inoculated against Covid-19, as of October 6. (PNA)

the foundation of food security and the youths are the future of food security. He reinforced on

encouraging the youth to undertake any agrirelated endeavors by promoting the different farming technologies

and other forms of assistance that the government can offer, especially thru the Mentoring and

Attracting Youth in Agribusiness (MAYA) and the Kapital Access for Young Agripreneurs (KAYA) programs. MAYA is an internship program that aims to develop youth into agripreneurs while KAYA provides financing assistance to the youth. “The agriculture sector needs committed and passionate millennials to advocate for the development of the agriculture sector of the country,” he said. “Careers in agriculture and forestry make up one of the largest industries and sources of long-term employment in the country, providing jobs for millions of Filipinos. These careers supply us

with a multitude of food products and alternative energies, among other important resources for sustaining our country and contributing to the world’s economy,” the agri chief added. The said threeday youth camp will highlight the role of the youth in agri development, kicking it off with a capability building of the 4-H club officers and members. The 4-H club comprises the youth who are single, ages from 15 to 30 years old, where membership is open and voluntary underscoring the involvement in community-based projects in agriculture and homemaking.
