Senate majority agrees on BSKE postponement

MANILA – Seventeen sena tors voted on Tuesday to postpone the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elec tions (BSKE) for another year while only Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III and his deputy, Senator Risa Hontiveros, opposed.

Senate Bill 1306 proposes to move the Dec. 5, 2022 BSKE to Dec. 4, 2023 to enable Congress to review the existing laws and fix flaws.

In her previous privilege speech, Senator Imee Mar cos also proposed to extend the term of village and SK officials from three years to

MANILA – Philippine Air Force (PAF) helicopters continue to fly much-need ed supplies to communities hit hard by Super Typhoon Karding in Quezon.

“On Sept. 27, 2022, the S-70i ‘Black Hawk’ heli copters conducted several sorties from Col Jesus Vil lamor Air Base to Polillo Island transporting a total of 24,982 lbs of relief packs containing food, water, medicines, and clothes,”

six and fix their elections every May the year following the presidential elections.

Marcos, chair of the Committee on Electoral Re forms and People’s Participa tion, suggested looking into the present SK system, citing the feasibility of abolishing the Pederasyon ng Sanggu niang Kabataan at the village level and maintaining it at the city or municipal level.

Pimentel said there is no compelling reason to reschedule the BSKE anew.

“If we proceed with the elections, the incumbent vil lage and SK officials would be able to serve a total of four and a half years. Not bad considering that under

the existing policy, the term of office of these officials is three years,” he said, to which Hontiveros agreed.

He said the incumbent officials were not deprived of time to serve their con stituents during the pan demic.

“This election would have been a very good op portunity to conduct a refer endum on the performance of the incumbents especially in relation to their handling of the pandemic response,” Pimentel said.

The House of Represen tatives already passed on September 20 its version to reset the polls to next year.

PAF spokesperson Col. Ma. Consuelo Castillo said in a statement Tuesday night.

In addition, a Bell205 helicopter along with another S-70i helicopter airlifted a total of 9,696 lbs. of relief goods for the residents of General Nakar, Quezon.

Castillo said these ef forts are part of the PAF’s initiative to help Filipinos who have lost their homes and livelihood following the onslaught of the super typhoon.

“Meanwhile, on the same day, the PAF conducted another rapid damage as sessment and needs analysis (RDANA) over San Luis, Aurora utilizing (a) Huey II helicopter,” she added.

Castillo said the PAF will continue to carry out relief operations for Filipinos affected by “Karding” as it also continues to perform other missions for national security and development.

IN a highly skewed pyra midal societal order where only some 300 families front lined by oligarchs, cartel and conglomerates are in control of the economy, it has be come imperative for social transformation to liberate the poor and the oppressed from poverty and to rec tify gross social inequities and injustices. But social change has been so elusive all these years despite 14 years of martial law and two people-powered revolutions. The structure and systems breeding poverty and per petuating social injustices are still as formidable as ever. This is especially true in the life of the 13 million MCOs (member-consumerowners) of so-called Electric Cooperatives covering a critical mass of some 65 mil lion Filipinos (in a family of 5) who have all these years been victims of the greatest social injustice committed against the Filipino people.

Electricity like water is a means to life and must not be under the control of the oligarchs for massive money raking. That was foremost in the mind then of the senators and congressmen when in the late sixties, they passed the Rural Electrifica tion Law. Electricity then was just confined in the urban centers, i.e., Meralco

Have my say

in Metro Manila, Cepalco in Cagayan de Oro City, Davao Light in Davao, etc. and no development can happen without electric ity – thus, the law on rural electrification. In rural elec trification, the legislators were unanimous that such should follow the essence of cooperativism where it should be the membersconsumers themselves who should be the owners – thus, MCOs. Such decision was further reinforced by the wonderful performance of Electric Cooperatives in the United States whose millions of members are receiving monthly patronage refund in addition to other benefits given to the MCOs such as free hospitalization and scholarships for the MCOs’ children. Wow, so amazing!

No less than the United States Assistance for In ternational Development (USAID) was so amazed by that decision of the Philip pine Government to do rural electrification, the cooperative way because coopertivism is the path to empower the people from poverty, being the great equalizer against oligarchi cal control. There was a Research-Study stating that poverty in the Philippines is due not to lack of resources as the country is oozing

BAHALA NA!

IT can be translated to mean “whatever happens, hap pens,” “things will turn out fine,” or as “I’ll take care of things.” In Sikolohiyang Pilipino (Filipino Psychol ogy) it is described as “de termination in the face of uncertainty.”

Bahala Na is a Filipino at titude that expresses courage and faith in God. It means to let go and let God. It has always been an expression of optimism. These days, however, people are misus ing it.

From the sheer goodness of one’s heart - are we really doing even small things for our fellow creatures? Hey, don’t you see it? We are becoming more and more uninterested. We live without concern. We are not making the difference. We don’t even try or think about it. We have no influence or weight - neither good nor bad. Is that really what we want?

about the (blind?) beggar, who might really need any single centavo. Many other “business beggars” or swin dlers have dulled my usually open handed character.

Bahala na - suddenly, I don’t care!

Many years ago, while riding a Jeepney (yes, I always loved to do so!), I listened to two passengers.

“You know, our neighbor suffers from lung cancer. He asked me for a loan because he needs to be hospitalized.”

“And, what did you do?” - ‘Wala, nothing, bahala siya. Why did he never quit smoking as I have told him already a long time ago!”

with ecological wealth and resources but to the disem powerment of the people Of the economy and the rich resources, three questions must be answered: Who controls? Who decides? Who benefits? Not the Filipino people but a few oligarchs!

Cooperativising rural electrification in the Phil ippines had amazed the USAID no end that it al located eight hundred mil lion dollars as grant to the Philippine Government. It did inspire the USAID based on the firm belief that such is the empowering path for the rural people, especially the workers and the peasantry to be unfet tered from the quagmire of poverty. Imagine, each rural family be receiving thousands of pesos monthly as patronage refund not to mention other benefits such a free hospitalization and scholarships for their children. So amazing? No, never that has happened! It is the contention of those who are controlling Electrric Coiopertives that the MCOs have nocapital share as their contribution is only their P5 membership fee. That’s

On the other hand, while walking a short distance somewhere down town in Davao City, I don’t care

Well, here we are! Why should I help other people around me, if, on the other hand, MY cries of help or urgent appeals have been rejected, as intentionally unanswered? Indifference or egoism? It seems to be a privilege for us to close our eyes, ears, and mouth in such an indifferent and shameful way, that we hurt those who seek our atten tion.

Somebody tries to be come our friend. Sure, why not?

Somebody was hired as a leader and needs the support of his or her staff. Sure, why not?

Somebody is ill and is suffering from persecution and needs us. Sure, why not?

Somebody needs our advice because he or she is facing a difficult decision or homelessness or living alone or losing the job. Sure, why not?

Somebody suffers over whelming prejudice, provo cation, and loss of reputation and badly needs the involve ment of another helping hand. Sure, why not?

Because of indifference, we keep on destroying our good nature and the whole globe by unintentional or international contamina tion of the environment. Indifference allows wars instead of looking for peace. Indifference allows man to hide behind stupid excuses. Indifference goes so far that the employees of a company do not care about their work and jobs by wasting time and money. They must not be surprised if inevitable bankruptcy results.

Bahala na? I don’t care?

Another human scourge...!

Consing appointed Ayala chief; Nolledo elected non-executive director

MANILA -- Ayala Corpo ration’s Board of Directors on Tuesday appointed Mr. Cezar “Bong” Consing as the company’s President & CEO, following his ap pointment as interim chief in August 15.

Consing, one of Asia’s most respected figures in the banking sector, has over 30 years of experience in international finance. He started his career in Ayala as a management trainee in BPI, where he eventu ally became the youngest Assistant Vice-President in the bank’s history. He then worked with J.P. Morgan & Co. in Hong Kong and Singapore from 1985 to 2004 and headed the firm’s investment banking busi ness in Asia Pacific from 1997 to 2004. He became a Partner at the Rohatyn Group from 2004 to 2013 and headed its Hong Kong office and its private invest ing business in Asia and was a board director of its real estate and energy and infrastructure private equity investing subsidiaries.

In 2013, Consing was appointed President & CEO of BPI – a position he held until his retirement in 2021. Currently, Consing is also a director of Ayala Corporation, BPI, Globe, and ACEN, hence his deep understanding of the Ayala ecosystem.

Mr. Consing received

an A.B. Economics degree (Accelerated Program), magna cum laude, from De La Salle University in 1979. He obtained an M.A. in Applied Economics from the University of Michigan in 1980.

Meanwhile, legal lu minary Mrs. Mercedita S. Nolledo has been elected to Ayala Corporation’s Board as a non-executive director to serve the unexpired term of Mr. Fernando Zobel de Ayala, who was appoint ed Special Advisor to the Board. Previously, Nolledo served as Board Director of Ayala and BPI from 2004 to 2010 and 1991 to 2021, respectively. She is currently a member of the Board of Trustees of Ayala Founda tion, Inc., BPI Foundation, Inc., Advisory Board of Ayala Land, Inc., and the BPI Advisory Council.

Nolledo started her ca

reer in Ayala as an invest ment analyst in 1965. At age 31, she became the highestranking female executive in the Ayala Group of Com panies as Assistant Vice President of the Corporate Finance Division of CCP Securities. She eventually became a senior managing director, a senior counsel, and a corporate secretary at Ayala Corporation.

With Nolledo’s appoint ment, Ayala Corporation

has surpassed its diversity target of having female directors comprise 30% of its Board of Directors by 2025. Currently, female directors – Nolledo, former Singtel Group CEO Chua Sock Koong, and former Sun Life Financial (Philippines) CEO Rizalina Mantaring –represent 42.86% of Ayala Corporation’s seven-seat Board.

Nolledo received a B.S. in Business Administration major in Accounting (Class Valedictorian and Magna Cum Laude) degree from the University of the Philippines in 1960 and placed second at the Certified Public Ac countant Licensure Board Examination administered in the same year. In 1965, she obtained her Bachelor of Laws degree (Class Vale dictorian and Cum Laude) also from the University of the Philippines, where she also placed second at the Bar Examination held in the same year.

BSP wins Institutional Leadership Award for Financial Inclusion

P2.3-M smuggled cigarettes confiscated in Zambo City

ZAMBOANGA CITY –

Authorities have arrested three suspects and seized some PHP2.3 million worth of smuggled cigarettes in separate anti-smuggling operations in this southern port city, police officials said Wednesday.

Colonel Alexander Lo renzo, Zamboanga City Police Office (ZCPO) di rector, said suspects Arjay Ismael Salim, 35; Jabar Sali Tingkahan, 28; and Asmad Ismael Tingkahan, 43; were arrested around 5:40 a.m. Tuesday near Manalipa Is land here.

Customs (BOC) personnel intercepted a motorboat loaded with contraband while on patrol near the island.

Lorenzo said 36 master cases of assorted cigarettes worth PHP1.2 million were confiscated after the three suspects failed to show documents of their cargo.

Police investigation showed that the smuggled cigarettes came from Jolo, Sulu, and bound for Alicia, Zamboanga Sibugay.

Meanwhile, Col. Richard Verceles, operations chief of the Area Police CommandWestern Mindanao, said the ZCPO and the Philippine Center for Transnational Crime have also seized as sorted smuggled cigarettes

Educational Technology : Digital Solutions

Before the global health crisis, it was widely believed that technology would com pletely change teaching. For instance, it was once anticipated that technology would change the way teach ers educate, but in practice, not all teachers are as excited about integrating technol ogy into their lesson plans. While some might be more willing to accept digital so lutions, others show greater levels of resistance. The pandemic demonstrated how inadequate technological integration has resulted in widespread learning loss, a tendency that has been made worse by the restrictions of in-person instruction brought by, among other things, by school closures.

The first and simplest step is typically to intro duce technology to teachers. Teachers will, however, be skeptical of new technol ogy’s potential to enhance instruction if it is offered to them and they do not know how to use it effec tively. In order to properly employ technology to en hance the role of teachers, policymakers must develop the necessary digital skills, motivate teachers to apply these abilities in their prac tice, and critically evalu ate when, when, how, and whether these new forms of instruction are genuinely beneficial. These abilities

do not, however, emerge independently or just be cause technology is readily available. Teachers can adopt new technology in a variety of ways that go far beyond simply switching from a notebook to a tablet.

Moreover, policymak ers should regularly assess and evaluate the efficacy of various interventions in the context of understanding the challenges of integrat ing technology in educa tion. Policymakers should evaluate how technology is being used and what gaps need to be addressed in order to understand how teachers use it and how they perceive it. Understanding how teachers use technology and their experiences with it can also help determine how to best utilize it.

The pandemic has altered how teachers interact with their students and deliver instructions. To systemati cally encourage the incor poration of technology into their training, more may be done. We have a rare chance to reconsider what teachers do, not just in terms of what technology can do for them or their present skill set, but also in terms of how using technology inspires both them and their pupils.

Lastly, technology is a useful tool, but without proper integration, it won’t lead to effective learning.***

Technology : Empowers Students’ Learning Process

Technology empowers stu dents by providing them control over their learning process, making education relevant to their digital lives, and preparing them for the future as they move toward individualized learning.

Students are motivated to be come problem solvers, critical thinkers, collaborators, and creators thanks to technology and access to resources outside of the classroom. Students that have effectively incorporated technology into their class rooms grow to enjoy learning for the rest of their lives.

Educators are always work ing to make learning more indi vidualized for kids. With access to longitudinal data, material, real-time student data, applica tions, and more, technology may aid in their advancement.

Technology may help teachers introduce new teaching and learning approaches to the classroom through the use of digital tools for formative and summative assessments and the development of blended learning environments.

Students who have the correct gadgets in their hands and access to technology in the classroom are better equipped with the technical and pro fessional skills necessary for success in the workforce of today and tomorrow. Relevant learning opportunities may foster creativity, assist students in connecting their lessons to real-world situations, and help them get ready for occupations that won’t even exist yet. Cod ing, programming, physical computing, and computational thinking expertise are now of ten expected in the workplace.

Students may learn these skills and develop their 21st-century critical thinking and problemsolving abilities via creation. When planned and linked with the appropriate technology, learning by doing in maker settings and mindsets may be extremely engaging.

The difficult choice faced by school systems is whether technology models and gadgets will best support their goals of revolutionizing education. Working with many stake holders and considering how teachers and students utilize the devices for regular learning is how device decisions should be made. The proper grade-level curriculum, content require ments, and how the devices will be utilized in and outside of the classroom should all be considered by stakeholders.

Choosing the correct de vice is a difficult undertaking, but factors like compatible digital curricula and material, assessment needs, manage ment choices, security features, device performance, and the total cost of ownership are crucial. The basis of a 360⁰ learning experience is a secure and reliable IT infrastructure that supports digital content, safeguards important student data, improves operational effectiveness, and offers the security and privacy protection that today’s schools require.

During this time, educators must get the right training and assistance from communities and resources for continued professional growth. All of it together has a transformational and long-lasting effect on how successful all learners are.***

Accompanying the process are provisions of financial assistance, social entrepreneurship projects, and skills development

training, and scholarship programs for combatants’ children, among others.

The political part of the Mindanao peace process is the passage of BOL and the creation of an expanded political en tity now called BARMM. ( PNA )

Getting Parents Involve in School

Although it is not always simple, parental involvement in schools is tremendously advantageous for everyone engaged in a child’s educa tional growth. Students need to understand that parents care about what happens in the classroom. Parents who participate in school activi ties learn more about how to effectively support their chil dren at home. To demonstrate to the student the value of learning both inside and out side of the classroom, parents and instructors must forge a productive partnership or work as a team. Positive parent involvement benefits schools, parents, teachers, and students all around.

To ensure that students embrace academic achieve ment, educators must create a link between the home and the classroom that includes strong parental support.

A deeper commitment is made to the value of educa tion as parent impression of the school improves and stronger bonds are formed.

Because they are unaware of how they can assist, parents

frequently choose not to get involved. By informing parents of impending tests, projects, homework assign ments, and areas of study, teachers provide them some background information and give them a sense of control over their children’s educa tion. It could be beneficial to offer advice on how parents might help their kids study for and prepare for exams.

Teachers feel valued and appreciated when parents show an interest in their kids’ education. A greater morale rate seems to be experienced by teachers who have gained the respect of their parents.

Beginning with the teacher establishing a partnership with open and supportive communication, consistent parental engagement can be attained. There is a tendency for teachers to exclusively speak with parents about aca demic or behavioral issues.

Teachers must be willing to communicate with parents in a positive and inspiring way to demonstrate your concern for their children’s education.

Meanwhile, BSP Deputy Governor Bernadette Romu lo-Puyat chaired the 12th AFI Global Standards and Policy Committee (GSPC) meeting last 05 September. This was a culmination meeting of BSP’s two-year term as GSPC Chair which began in September 2020. The high-level body guides AFI’s policy direction and provides overall strate gic guidance on the AFI’s engagement with global standard-setting bodies.

The meeting tackled policy issues that were rec ommended by AFI Working Groups to be adopted as Financial Inclusion Policy Models for members.

During the turnover rites and ceremonial striking of the gong, AFI announced that BSP will host the next Global Policy Forum in 2023. “The ceremonial gong is not just a symbol of our country’s acceptance to host the 2023 GPF. It also ampli fies the message to the world that financial inclusion is here to ensure that everyone will be able to use financial services appropriate to their respective needs and ca pacities, and consequently break the chain of poverty and income inequality,” said Deputy Governor RomuloPuyat. In attendance was a representative of this year’s host, Deputy Governor Ziad Asa’ad Ghanma of the Cen tral Bank of Jordan.

AirAsia Voted World’s Best Low-Cost Airline for 13th straight year

• 13 Million seats on sale to celebrate the remarkable feat

MANILA , 26 September 2022 – AirAsia has been crowned the World’s Best Low Cost Airline at the Sky trax World Airline Awards 2022 for the 13th consecu tive year.

Considered the global benchmark of airline excel lence, the Skytrax World Airline Awards 2022 were decided by a survey of 14.3 million customers of over 100 nationalities who have reviewed over 300 airlines from September 2021 to August 2022.

CEO of Capital A, Tony Fernandes who received the award at the Langham Hotel in London on Friday said: “We did it again! This year feels more special than previous years, as voters supported us despite the most difficult past few years triggered by Covid. The fact we are back in the sky is incredible in itself with

no government handouts or big business benefactors and virtually no flying for close to two years.

“My sincere gratitude goes to the Skytrax organ isers, to the more than 700 million guests who have flown with us and to those who have chosen to vote for us in these passenger’s choice awards time and time again. Last but not least, I’d like to dedicate this award

to my fantastic team of Allstars, whose unwavering can-do spirit and attitude has led us this far.

“If there is one silver lining of the past few years, we have used the downtime in flying so we can return stronger than ever. Just a few days ago, we had record day sales, and using our data and our tremendous brand, we are now able to provide our guests with a

complete travel ecosystem where they can enjoy travel, e-commerce, logistics and fintech from our travel and lifestyle platform.

“Finally I see blue skies ahead once again. We have survived, we have rebuilt and we are recovering to deliver greater value and choice than ever before.”

AirAsia Philippines CEO Ricky Isla said, “This rec ognition is both an honour and a reminder to us all in AirAsia to never rest on our laurels. Our guests can be assured of our commitment to do better each day in all of our areas of opera tions. We look forward to expanding our market in the Philippines in the years to come so that Filipinos will have the best flight options, best value deals, and ultimately world’s best service as evidenced by our

stellar track record of 13 years with Skytrax.”

Edward Plaisted, CEO of Skytrax said: “AirAsia redefined low-cost air travel in Asia and despite the recent post-pandemic challenges, continues to be a firm favourite with customers. Winning the award for the World’s Best Low Cost Airline and an extraordinary 13th time is a fantastic achievement, and we congratulate all the members of the AirAsia family on this momentous occasion.”

To celebrate winning the World’s Best Low Cost airline for the 13th time in a row, AirAsia has today launched PHP13 one way base fare to mark each year being awarded the global low cost leader.

The 13 million seats sale from PHP13 which launches

today, runs until 2 October 2022 and includes many leisure favourite markets including Bohol, Boracay, Cebu, Puerto Princesa, and international destinations Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, HongKong, Seoul, Bali and Bangkok from PHP413 to PHP1,913.

Karen Chan, Group Chief Commercial Officer of AirAsia said: “It’s been an incredible month with many wins including our biggest ever sale day post Covid last week, but this really tops the list, to be awarded the World’s Best Low Cost Airline 13 times in a row.

“AirAsia is the people’s airline so it’s even more gratifying to win the ‘peo ple’s choice’ Best Low Cost Airline award.

“As a huge thank you to

a great LIE!

In the monthly billing, each MCO is paying two items: 1) amortization of loans, and 2) reinvestment. If an MCO has a monthly consumption of 200 watts, about a hundred pesos is the capital monthly contribution and after 70 years, each MCO has already a capital share of over fifty thousand pesos. But such has never been recognized, not even recorded. Such has been a subject of a class suit filed by an MCO in the Supreme Court, appealing that the 13 MCOs have already a consolidated share of capital to their 123 Electric Cooperatives nation-wide of more than one trillion pesos already which must be recognized.

What is so painful is that these so-called Electric Cooperatives are just cooperatives in name only. This is based on the landmark decision of the Supreme Court penned by no less than Justice Mariano del Castillo in 2003 in the case of Philreca vs. Dept of Finance. How dare these socalled Electric Cooperatives are brandishing themselves as coop eratives when they are not even registered with the Cooperative Development Authority which by law is the only registering agency of all types of cooperatives? Such is a great fallacy which must be corrected. When I as Chairman then of the CDA tried to correct such social wrong, I was crucified no end with three attempts to my life. In fact, some of cooperative leaders/advocates who dared to fight for their rights and to rec tify such social wrong had been murdered. If you want to know the details, revisit the story of the Davao del Norte Electric Coop erative (DANECO) which is now owned by the Aboitiz. There are more to know about the so-called Electric Cooperatives which are not genuine cooperatives but masquerading as such but under the control of the oligarchs for massive raking. The oligarchs have connived with powerful politicians in a country where economic power begets political power, notwithstanding judicial power.

Senate Bill 1310 aims to curb mobile phone and electronic communication-aided crimes by requiring all mobile phone users to present valid government-issued identification and documents in registering their SIMs or eSIMs.

Telecommunications com panies (telcos) will be tasked to protect subscribers’ personal information under the regulation of the Department of Information and Communications Technology.

The House of Representa tives’ approved version imposes fines ranging from PHP5,000 to PHP1 million on telcos, their authorized SIM card sellers, and even government workers who will fail to comply with the law.

A bicameral conference will merge the two versions of the bill before it is submitted for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s signature.

additional funding for the regional offices amounting to P1-2 billion.

Rodriguez likewise requested the secretary not to reduce by P54.6 million the budget for the 2023 Local Grants-in-Aid (LGIA) of Region 10.

The LGIA fund is earmarked for programs and projects under the Community Empowerment Through Science and Technology (CEST) to bring science, technol ogy, and innovation closer to the people in rural areas.

“We have to give premium to the programs and projects of the DOST by providing the agency with adequate funds. This is our way of showing profound and sincere support to our Filipino scientists, researchers, and in novators,” Rodriguez said in a separate statement.

It can be noted that Rodriguez is one of the authors of RA 11914 or an act converting the Provincial Science and Technology Center (PSTC) into Provincial Science and Technology Office (PSTO) which seeks to expedite the trans fer of appropriate knowledge, technologies, and services to the rural areas.

Bago said the local government has institutionalized tourism by integrating it the newly-organized Office of Culture, Arts, Tourism and Sports.

Bago said while the town is known mainly for its beaches, they also intend to promote natural resorts in the hinterland communities and as a means of promoting the indigenous culture of the Higaonon living in the communities.

“We also give importance to the IPs (indigenous peoples), the Higaonon, their cultural and ancestral rights, they should not be left behind in the development of our local tourism,” he said.

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) said this week will be crucial in their preparations.

“Upon consultation with the (Commission) en banc, the procurement office has been instructed to proceed not only with the (notice of) awards, but also the delivery of paraphernalia until there is a law,” he said in an interview on Tuesday.

The printing of over 91 million ballots for the BSKE will start on Thursday.

It will commence after security features are embedded on the ballots and the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the National Printing Office for the storage of ballots is signed.

“By Thursday, I will embed the secret marking of the ballots and sign the MOA. I’ve instructed [the officials] to separate the MOA for the printing of the ballots and the warehousing of the ballots,” Garcia said.

Once done, the printing of three million ballots per day will begin.

There will be 67,061,585 bal lots for village voters, and another 24,457,363 ballots for SK voters.

The BSKE was originally scheduled in May 2020 but was reset to Dec. 5, 2022 in order to concentrate with the national and local elections last May. ( PNA)

Bulacan Governor Daniel Fernando assured the families left by the five rescuers that they will receive all the benefits due them.

Their colleagues described them as dedicated and experi enced rescuers who sometimes travel to other local govern ment units to help out during disasters.

Senators Robinhood Padilla and Lito Lapid on Tuesday filed Resolutions Nos. 234 and 235, respectively, lauding the heroism of the five fatalities.

“The heroism and bravery shown by these five men, who sacrificed their lives to save their people, is an exemplary act worthy of praise and emu lation and more importantly, an embodiment of dedication, courage, devotion to duty and commitment to public service,” Padilla said in his resolution.

Lapid’s resolution recog nized the courage, bravery, humanitarian spirit and self lessness of the fallen rescuers and noted that they should be held in the highest regard, paying the ultimate sacrifice in the name of duty. ( PNA )

But oligarchical control of electricity is not just through dis tribution done through so-called Electric Cooperatives. Know that in electricity, there are three main areas of control. First is Power Generation. Second is Transmis sion. Third is Distribution. The oligarchical massive raking begins in the area of generation which recently increased by about 30% which is now under investigation. These oligarchs are doing power generation through coal-fired power plants which are now be ing debunked globally as the use of coal is the primary cause of climate change. It has been the advocacy of the cooperatives in Mindanao to cooperativize not only the distribution but the power generation as well but the power of the oligarchs is being used against us. This was true when in the last decade we have been advocating for the Agus Pulangi Hydro Power Complex to be further developed as the use of coal is not accept able anymore. Burning coal is the leading cause of smog, acid rain and global warming. But again, the oligarchs cannot stop their greed and have already established seven coal-fired power plants in Mindanao. When can they stop their greed in connivance with power-that-be?

“This will showcase again the local food products made by the micro, small, and medium enterprises in the province, and the produce from our agriculture sector,” Saclot said.

Saclot said this year’s tourism activities are also aligned with Governor Peter Unabia’s agenda on “goal-oriented tourism” that encourages agriculture productiv ity in the province to complement tourism programs.

Erlinda Unabia, the provincial tourism council co-chairperson, said with Misamis Oriental’s nature-based tourism sites, the provincial government only needs to tap potential resources that can contribute to economic develop ment.

“The province is a gold mine in the tourism industry, and we must tap available resources and make the most out of this paradise. We need not seek treasures far away, because it is already in our land, culture, and hearts,” she said.
