By Stephen J. Pedroza Contributor THE silver screens are ready as the sixth installment of Cinemagis Digital Short Film Festival in Northern Mindanao officially opens today, January 23 under the auspices of Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts (XCCA).

The opening day includes the announcement of nominees for various Cinemagis awards, the spe-

cial screening the celebrated film, “Crossfire” by of Arnel M. Mardoquio and the preview of Cinema Rehiyon 6, the flagship program of National Commission on Culture and the Arts (NCCA) in celebration of the National Arts Month in February.

This year’s Cinemagis offers a rundown of entries produced by students and professional filmmakers with varying themes, showing at the Xavier University

Little Theater and SM City Cagayan de Oro Cinema 3 on Jan 24-25, 1-5pm.

Cinemagis serves as the stepping stone for short films coming from Region 10 to be screened in the 6th Cinema Rehiyon, to be hosted also by XCCA with the theme, “Filming the Frontiers.”

Film teasers The competition is tight among student entries as they offer appealing story plots, from abduction to

modern-day legend, from cannibalism to astrology, among others.

“Lugos” (Rape) by Christine Pulgo takes us to the struggles of the protagonist Juliet being abused a number of times by her own brother and how she faces her life after what happened.

“The issue [of incest crimes] is very alarming.

This story is made to raise awareness to the viewers.

Thus, this film ought to lessen the crimes and immo-

ralities in our society,” said Pulgo, a BS in Technology Communication Management student at Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST).

Richard Mars Caberte’s “Kaon Ta” (Let’s Eat) invites us to the chronicles of the main character’s perversion over the human flesh and the appetite-stirring horror that comes with his uncanny obsession.

As a senior BS in Development Communication

major in Educational Communication (EduComm) student at XU, Caberte’s film was produced primarily in fulfillment of his academic requirements in one of his major subjects.

A high school filmmaker Angel Frances Borres describes his main character Perla as “the devil in human form.” Perla is a ruthless secondary teacher who— in the most unexpected circumstance—will be

Water district stood pat: landslide is still imminent

By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN Regional Editor-Caraga

SAN FRANCISCO, Agusan del Sur— The local water utilitiy here has stood firm that the large cracks found at the top of Mt. Magdiwata is critical because of continuous soil erosion which might develop into a major landslide that will bury many parts of the town center.

The San Francisco Water District (SFWD) issued this rejoinder to refute claims by a team of foresters from the local government who inspected the area in the mountain that it is just normal that there were soil movements of the sloppy surface because there have been “ kaingin (slash and burn)” activities in the past.

Mayor Jenny de Asis also berated the SFWD for distributing false and exaggrated press release to the local media that has caused panic to the people still reeling from the difficulties of being affected by recurring floods brought by Tropical Depression Agaton.

But Elmer Luzon, SFWD general manager, maintained that continuous rains will soften the soil above the two creeks that merged into just one waterways below where the cracks were found that would more likely develop into a landslide of soil, water and boulders of rock cascading down below the populated areas.

“As the voice of business in Northern Mindanao, we are very concerned by the inconvenience brought by the said infrastructure impairment in our businesses as well as the frustration of the commuting public experiencing heavy traffic in other Lanao del Norte towns,” Mr. Uy said in his letter.

To minimize the affected economy in Northern Mindanao and ensure the stabilization of traffic for both the traveling public and cargoes, the Oro Chamber is rec-

“Hello” by Kevin Nico Surposa shows us the acquaintance of good old friends and an uninvited follower— a mysterious lurker the protagonist has to face. “The film is about conquering our past,” Surposa said.

Tat Soriano’s “Panamilit” (Farewell) takes the audience, especially the romantic ones, to a heart-wrenching story of letting go and moving on with a tinge of nostalgia and surrealism.

“Panamilit” sets on the wedding day of Gavin, the main character of the story, until he met a mysterious

Gray Em Erezo, whose past entry was screened during the 5th Cinema Rehiyon, joins this year’s Cinemagis with “Lugdang.” Erezo said his film was inspired by a girl he met at Divisoria last 2012.

“She was like mentally drowned,” Erezo emphasized. “I used the word ‘drowned’ because she was drowned physically, mentally and emotionally. She could not even talk. She lost her family during the flash flood brought about by [Typhoon] Sendong.”

By Rose Mary D. Sudaria, Ph.D. Teacher 3 Tablon Elementary School

Believing that a 12-year program is an adequate number of years for learning basic education, President Benigno Aquino signed, approving K+12 Basic Education Program.

Further, a change of country’s educational system will enhance the learning of every Juan dela Cruz, which will be his tool to be successful.

This is the main reason why Aquino’s administration is standing firm in changing the old system.

K to 12 is implemented through collaboration among Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and other stakeholders.

This program is muchneeded change for the country’s educational system, according to those who are in line of K to 12. They believe that 12-year basic education

will produce better-trained graduates who could be globally competitive.

Early before K to 12 implementation, Philippines is the last in Asia and one of the three countries worldwide, other than Angola and Djibouti, having ten-year pre-university cycle. This ten-year of education before having college education is composed of six years and four years in elementary and secondary education, respectively.

The program implementation and even period before it, K+12 Basic Education Program faced numerous questions and critiques.

Lined-up negotiations have been made in order to inform the masses about its advantages and benefits.

It’s already three years after K to 12 was first implemented and until press time, its still bringing its endeavour in lifting Philippine Educational system.

Through it, Philippines can be at par and at sync together with other countries, giving wide opportunities and more success for Filipinos that would help towards nation-building.

Weather patterns in the Philippines are dictated by the prevailing winds the habagat ( southwest monsoon) which runs from May to October,and the amihan ( northeast monsoon ) which prevails from November to early May. But patterns have been screwy of late with rains arriving later and lingering into December. January is expected to be the coolest and least humid month.

However, an unexpected Low Pressure Area surfaced near Mindanao and brought about cloudy days with more rains. That's because it's an area of rising air, as air rises, it condenses into clouds and rains. And it could get into a really disturbing

weather especially to the students..

How does Low Pressure Area affects the students ? Not only does it give rainfall and causes more sickness, it also results to tardiness and lack motivation to go school.

Thus, it also affects the students study and their performance in school.

With much luck, from low pressure area to tropical depression ( Agaton ) the archipelago is now under heavy rainfall and dark clouds for almost 2 weeks now. For the last few days, DepEd suspends classes almost all over Mindanao after Tropical Depression (Agaton) maintained its strength while it continues See EFFECTS/p.8

Moulding Future Generation

By Marylyn C. Banawan, ESHT-II

Teachers must remember their responsibility as educators to create good future leaders and citizens.

“Children are like dim light and as such teachers are responsible to give hope to them through good education and eventually brighten the light” Education has impact on the people’s mind, soul and strength.

Teachers should always use their creativity in teach-

ing so that teaching would be parallel with the country’s development.

Teachers should work hard to become good teachers and should get out of the comfort zone and explore the world to widen and develop their knowledge.

We should not be easily satisfied with the things we have right now… education is a journey, and we cannot deny that the journey is long.

Well, VoIP service will do the job for you. VoIP, otherwise known as voice over the Internet is a service that’s quite rapidly becoming popular in the market today.

This is far cheaper, faster, and more reliable means of making and receiving calls from loved ones or dear friends.

Nonetheless, to be able to make and receive calls while using the Internet, one must have a device called voice gateway also called as voip gateway.

Who wouldn’t want to have a cut rate in the services acquired? Of course all would opt to have inexpensive services including making calls and finding the cheapest VoIP is no exception. There are many VoIP providers that offers the cheapest VoIP. Providers include the two of the most popular namely uVOIPit and Rebtel and others like skype and simplecall.

UVOIPit offers the best rates in the market with great quality. One can avail the cheapest VoIP calls to Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and UK. In fact, it has recently launched its latest campaign of Wholesale VoIP Termination which means that VoIP services, providers, small and large enterprises can have routes from uVoIP at bulk rates. Aside form those countries mentioned, a new country prospect is being targeted by uVoIPit and it is the beautiful country Nepal. The voip service announced the cheapest voip available and that promised its customers an increased quality of call service.

Education: Its use in real life Education has been a very important thing to humanity, even in the earlier times.

The reason is that it would be your guide light in tracing “real life”.

Hunting for a job and getting employed is the beginning of “real life”. It is not easy as enrolling oneself in a university anymore, but rather applying for a scholarship where a person needs to present all his credentials and edge among others just to be accepted and enjoy the benefits of being a scholar.

Looking for a job is truly tough, knowing that there are several people who are applying too.

The lessons learned from school are big help in applying for a job. In addition, being schooled will make a person think better and understand critical situations and achieve smart decisions. These are surely additional points during a job interview, attracting company employers.

Best Red Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon

By Jerylyn G. Nuevo

Grapes are the main or the famous source of red wine. Among all the variety of grape the best source of red wine is the cabernet sauvignon.

Cabernet sauvignon was the variety of grape that was hugely planted in areas where the climate is perfect of its growth. Since the year when the cabernet sauvignon, many countries had started planting it because of its great demand but then in Portugal wherein there are native wine plantation, the country ignored the cabernet because they don’t want to be a part of the circus the cabernet had made. This variety of shape has been considered the best source of red wine because of its thick skin. All grapes are great wine but the cabernet sauvignon was really the best tasting wine. It is one of the most expensive wines becuase only limited countries are producing it. Although there are vineyards, only in selected regions the grape grows. The climate of the certain country or region greatly affects the growth of the grape. In places where there is too much sun, the grape had a hard

time ripening. Today, there is global warming; the result of this, this type of grape would have a hard time ripening and producing wine.

Cabernet sauvignon is a rare variety of grape, not all countries can have it because the climate of a certain country will really affect the growth and the ability of the grape to ripen. This type of grape needs to be processed carefully because the end result of this kind of grape is really a great buy wine. Although many people are not into the kind of wine checking, still we can’t deny the fact that there are many wine enthusiasts in the world. These wine enthusiasts are the ones that can identify and can give great compliment with regards to the cabernet sauvignon wine. The cabernet sauvignon was really the top choice in red wine because of it exquisite and great taste.

The process of aging the wine greatly affects the taste, many says that the longer the wine was stock or preserve that great taste it will become to be.

Maramag LGU pushes anti-wastage ordinance

By RUBY LEONORA R. BALISTOY

M A L AY BA L AY C I T Y, Bukidnon — Polic ymakers of the local government unit (LGU) of Maramag in Bukidnon has crafted an ordinance that would help address the country’s problem on rice wastage.

This, after the National Food Authority (NFA) sounded the call of the Department of Agriculture (DA) to encourage the general public to be prudent in rice consumption.

Jos eph D. Palmada, chair man of t he committee on agriculture in Maramag’s Sangguniang

Bayan, said their proposal intends to help minimize wastage of rice in the food service industry and boost economic prosperity in the locality.

“O nce enac te d, t he ordinance would require re st au r ant s , f a st fo o d chains, cafeterias, and caterers, to include onehalf cup serving of cooked rice in their menu,” he said.

It also requires canteens in schools, hospitals, offices, and other related food service industry operating in Maramag town to include half-cup rice s e r v i ng du r i ng c at e rings and plated meals,

he added.

The ordinance provides that any food service provider found violating the stated law shall be fined P2,500.00 and take the brunt of license or business permit revocation.

Palmada explained the policy was not meant to discourage people from eating rice, but to ensure that they will be served only the quantity they could eat to avoid leftover.

It can even help those who are at times short of budget because the price of half-cup in the proposed ordinance is also

half the price of ‘one cup serving,’ Palmada said.

Citing the DA’s data, he said Filipinos throw away at least 2.5 tablespoons every day or about P6.2 billion worth of rice wasted every year, which is enough to feed 2.6 million Filipinos every year.

“I hope more people would take in having halfcup of rice available and/ or default in the fo o d service industry, which is in support to the rice self-sufficiency program of President Benigno S. Aquino III through the Ag r i - Pi n oy pro g r am ,” Palmada said. (RLRB/ PIA 10, Bukidnon)

“Let’s give our teachers a break,” lawmakers appealed as they proposed to reduce their working hours from the standard mandator y eight to six hours per day.

“While teachers’ pay has been increased by recent enactments of law, they still desire higher pay and shorter working hours. Their present work schedule has left them stressed out and exhausted much to the detriment of our students,”a proponent said.

A l ower h ou s e bi l l proposes a six-hour workday for public school teachers and exempts them from compliance with the Civil Service mandated eight-hour workday for government workers. It will also be a great reprieve for teachers given that any wor k p er for m e d i n excess of six hours a day shall be considered as additional compensation of at least twenty-five percent of their regular remuneration.

The bill shall exempt teachers from Civil Ser vice Rules which prescribed the generally established rule on an eight-hour workday.

Section 3 of the bill states that “any teacher engaged in actual teaching may be required to render more than six hours of

GUEST EDITORIAL teaching upon payment of additional compensation at the same rate of his/ her regular plus at least twenty-five percent of his/ her basic pay.”

Said section further states that “teachers who are not engaged in actual teaching but render more than six hours work shall likewise be entitled to the additional compensation provided in this Section.”

The said exemption from CSC rules is also in observance of Book V of the Administrative Code of 1987 which also states that “Officers and employees of all departments and agencies except thos e covered by special laws shall render not less than eight hours of work a day for five days a week or a total of forty-hours a week, exclusive of time for lunch.”

Further, Section 5 states that “notwithstanding provisions of existing law to the contrary, co-curricula, out-of-school activities and other activities of any teacher outside of their normal duties shall be paid an additional compensation of at least twenty-five percent of his/her regular remuneration after the teacher has completed at least six hours of work.”

“The role of our teacher in moulding our youth and contributing to national

development cannot be undermined,” the authors said, stressing that “it is therefore only right that their needs and welfare be given utmost priority by the government.

The Magna Carta for Public School Teachers or Republic Act No. 4670 provides that teaching hours for teachers shall not be more than six hours. The Department of Education (DepEd) issued Memorandum 291 s. 2008 allowing teachers to allot six hours for actual classroom teaching per day while the remaining two hours to be spent in teaching-related activities.

While strictly speaking the essence of the law is respected, this memorandum requires from them a total of eight hours a day.

Reducing the number of working hours, the authors explained, will allow the teachers to rejuvenate, in mind and body, and allot more time for them to innovate and enhance classroom teaching. HB 2684 seeks to reduce the working hours of all public school teachers, whether engaged in actual classroom teaching or not, to a sixhour workday for a total of thirty-hour workweek.

HB 2684 has been referred by plenary to the House C ommittee on Basic E du c ati on c h ai re d by Rep. Kimi Cojuangco (5th District, Pangasinan) for proper consideration and action.

Belgium is far from the Philippines. The Philippines are far from Europe.

An average Belgian knows almost nothing about the Philippines. News about my second home-country is rare, fragmented and anecdotal. People know most certainly Aquino (but not which one), that the Pope John-Paul II visited you a long time ago, with a bit of luck they might even know Cebu and the fact that Magellan discovered your country traveling around the world, but they certainly know that every year, at Easter, some men let themselves to be crucified. Every year, they show this item in the news. They do not know Durian or Marang or the everlasting taste of fresh coconuts, never heard of Tuba, never tried Balut, Bulat or Kinilaw. And they all know and think, for sure, that the Philippines

The plague--relief goods in Cebu The Philippine Connection Jan J.I. Degeest are corrupt.

But recently, things changed. I thought.

The images of the earthquake in Bohol and Cebu, the typhoon over Leyte and Samar, the destruction of Tacloban, Ormoc and so many other cities and villages, it was a punch in the face for my fellow citizens.

People were in need, the images of children, crying, hungry and lonely, it chocked my country.

A nation was dying and needed our help. A nationwide humanitarian action started, people could donate money to big concerns like the Red Cross or

Doctors without Borders.

Two weeks, the Philippines were hot news. And suddenly, the media circus slowed down, other topics became more relevant: the civil war in Syria, the Olympic Winter Games in Russia, the Belgian Soccer competition... The Philippine disaster was old news, our conscience was silenced by a fifty Euro banknote.

The world is turning faster and faster and life goes on.

Our daily difficulties took over and as for now, no one talks anymore about the typhoon. As far as I know, international aid is still going on in the area, but

seldom, we get news about the results of all this help.

My friend Johan sends every month a container with Balikbayan B oxes to the Philippines, to the relatives of Pinay abroad.

I contacted him. Maybe we could send relief goods together, Rotary and his company? Only one container, perhaps. We started an action and three weeks later, twelve forty feet containers, 180.000 kilos of relief goods (clothes, blankets, kitchen tools, food, medical materials...) left the port of Antwerp.

On the first of January of this year, the first of those containers arrived. The last one will arrive on January, 24. The Rotary District of Mindanao, D3860, is willing to accept and distribute the relief goods in the area, hit by the typhoon, trough their Rotary Clubs over there. We are ready to serve, but this story has no

It may be a good reference that the Asian financial crisis in 1997 was manipulated by currency speculation that droves interest rates skyrocketing.

He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear “witness” of me, that the Father hath sent me: This gospel reminds us about the mission of Jesus on earth.

Many economic analyst picture illusionary figures of growth to convince the banking sector and foreign investors help pump prime the economy. Economic indicators are sometimes taken for granted over the hysteria of GDP growth as in the case of the 7.3 percent figure last year.

Where the money did come from but from the government coffers were billions were released through the accelerated development disbursement fund of the

national government and to the PDAP of our legislators.

How come the inflation rates were up 3.6 percent at the end of December 2013 if the total growth of domestic product that this country produced were really at 7.3 percent asserted as the highest in Asia? Isn’t growth determined also by exports that are supposed to bring in foreign currency flow to the economy thereby increasing our foreign reserves? Any country which has stable foreign reserves can withstand and defend its currency against the surge of the other foreign currencies.

Why did our Peso continue to slide against the dollar?

It is interesting that government offices both national and regional are feeding the tourism industry the actualized “growth figures” to meet the government propaganda agenda. If figures do not come up with the actual performance, it is the weather as our favorite alibi as defense factor for the failure. The climate change being the highest See INVESTORS, p.11

O u r c ont ai ne rs are blocked in the port of Cebu, due to some (not all of them, I presume) civil servants who are neither civil nor servants, due to a part of an administration that is there to block and not to administrate, due to some paid patriots who do not care about their compatriots, about people in need. For every document we complete they have another one, for every information we ask they send us to Manila or somewhere else, for every peso we invested, they ask two more. Do I have to believe that corruption is more important than help? Are all those rumors correct? Well, I refuse to believe that, till prove of the contrary. Authorities, workers and civil servants of the port of Cebu, prove to us that I am wrong!

This is an appeal to

-ooo`MILLIONS OF PESOS FOR LAWMAKERS IN CORONA OUSTER’: Undeniably, we are all at fault in the problems that are plaguing our nation today, if I am to believe the claims that former Anad Party List Rep. Pastor “Jun” Alcover Jr., posted in his Facebook timeline. He said he actually was the very first one who disclosed the maneuvers of President Aquino to influence lawmakers into impeaching former Chief Justice Renato Corona, using millions of pesos and presidential pressure.

I mean, we all ignored Alcover’s damaging disclosures, primarily because we chose, quite inexplicably, to believe that Aquino cannot undertake dirty maneuvers, thereby allowing those maneuvers to ultimately result in Corona’s ouster, courtesy of congressmen and senators who used every trick and subterfuge to make it appear that they were deciding Corona’s fate in good faith.

And yet, disclosures such as the one made the other day by Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr., and the subsequent admissions made by the President himself that he really met with senators over the Corona issue, confirm Alcover’s claims. Clearly, it is now undeniable that See ouster, p.11

PCSO to put up district office in Dipolog

By MARY MAE ABELLON

DIPOLOG CITY – The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) will soon establish a district office here in partnership with the provincial government of Zamboanga del Norte.

A memorandum of agreement will be entered into between the provincial government of Zamboanga del Norte and the PCSO through its General Manager Margarita P. Juico to effect the establishment of the district office.

The provincial government will execute a Deed of

Under the contract of usufruct, PCSO has the right to use and make improvements therein but ownership of the said office space still belongs to the provincial government.

The PCSO district office shall also shoulder payments for water, electricity and telephone bills incurred in its operations.

A parcel of Land (Lot 8, Block 60, Pcs-10-000345, being a consolidation of Block 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, Psd- 10-005673), situated in the Barrio of Kauswagan, City of Cagayan de Oro, Island of Mindanao.

Carmina Villaroel plans thinks that she can along production well with BB Gandanghari` Daniel Padilla to build hisgoown company

Sa victory party ng pelikula nila ni Kathryn Bernardo na Pagpag: Siyam na Buhay, nakapanayam ng Push.com.ph si Daniel Padilla tungkol sa patuloy na tagumpay niya sa kanyang mga pelikula at palabas sa telebisyon. Hindi ba mas tumaas na rin ang expectations ni Daniel sa sarili? “Hindi ko laging mapapromise na blockbuster pero tuwing gagawa tayo ng palabas ibibigay natin ang lahat. Yun lang at dasal lang siguro bago i-show.”

Natanong din namin si Daniel kung may regalo na siya sa sarili dahil sa lahat ng tagumpay at pagod niya. “Merong regalo sa akin pero nasa bag na ng nanay ko kaya wala na naman akong regalo.” Pero para kay Daniel ang nais niya lamang ay makapagpahinga. “Wala naman, ako naman basta ang pinakamabibigay

lang na regalo sa akin pahinga lang, sa bahay lang ako, relax lang tapos malakad ko lang yung mga gusto kong malakad na lugar masaya na ako.”

Kung kadalasan ang ibang mga artista ay pagbiyahe sa ibang bansa ang regalo sa sarili, ang nais lamang ni Daniel ay, “Hindi ako masyadong ma-travel ngayon e mas iniisip ko… mas okay na ako sa bahay saka gusto ko din mapuntahan yung pinapagawang bahay, yung mga ganun-ganun.” Ngunit nang sabihin ng Push na nais ni Kathryn na bumiyahe bilang regalo sa kanyang sarili at kung sasamahan niya ba ang ka-love team, “Kung isasama nila ako bakit hindi.”

Kamakailan ay bumiyhe siya kasama si Kathryn at iba pang cast at crew ng kanilang hit serye na Got To

always on alert if in case the weather will turn worse,” Luzon said.

He clarified the municipal government was furnished with the report about the discovery of the wider cracks sighted above Tinggangawan Creek located 400 meters above the plains just at the same time the press release were distributed to media outlets on Friday last week.

“It took them more than a week to react and take actions while the mountain is in peril,” Luzon said.

But the government foresters downplayed the presence of the cracks claiming that if their would be a landslide , this would not hit the houses on the ground only damage the intake box of SFWD near the cracks.

In press statement yesterday, SFWD said the cracks is still at critical level that continuous soil erosion may cause a landslide that will directly hit Freshville Subdivision, located near the foot of the mountain, if no immediate action will be taken.

A controversy shaped up on Monday after a text scare about a possible landslide that will hit many parts of the poblacion spread like wildfire.

Many residents aired their concern over the radio since the text message attributed the local police as the source. Chief Inspector Reynante Sibayton, local police chief, denied the text message came from them.

This prompted Mayor Jenny de Asis to call on the townsfolk to be responsible enough not to spread reports that will cause panic to the people. “Instead of letting the people understand, we have even aggravated the situation,” the mayor said in an interview over radio station DxDA. Her statement however was not clear if she also pinned the blame to local newspapers and the Inquirer report.

Irked by the reports and commentaries at local radio program, Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Officer Adolfo Arino harassed field reporter John Mark Fuego who tried to interview him in his office about the issue by dragging him down to the police station.

Richard Grande, station manager of Lips 106 FM, vowed to file complaints of physical abuse and harassment against Arino.

“This is a arrogant display of supression of the press,” he said.

individuals will suf fer strong headache, migraine attacks,fever,cough, colds, feeling unwell, infections are common, blood pressure decreases, more cases of asthma and bronchitis and many more sickness prevail on cold weather.

It is highly recommended to let the students take vitamins & minerals to fight infections and virus which is common on this weather. Natural calamities never escapes a tropical depression, thus flash floods, landslides and other accidents may happen. Damaged houses, damaged bridges and roads results to evacuation centers which is commonly in school, and leads to no classes and classrooms to students and thus, means no class. No class means no discussion, no discussion to no lessons. Students has also a responsibility not to rely on teachers but rather self-study, and parent's must always look for their child's safety; let them wear jackets, intake vitamins, and let them bring umbrellas to avoid sickness common on this type of weather.

Gracia Espere, CDRRMO officer in charge, said that 83 of the 86 barangays have been affected by the flooding.

She said some of those affected may still be unaccounted for since others prefer to stay with friends and relatives, or just camp out in open areas with makeshift tents instead of going to designated evacuation centers.

Espere said that initially, the City Engineering Office estimated infrastructure damage at P14.8 million. The agricultural sector, she added, reported an estimated damage of P17 million affecting 775 hectares of rice fields, 50 hectares corn, 30 hectares banana and 24 hectares vegetables.

C o u n c i l o r Vi r g i l i o Nery Jr., a physician who chairs the Sangguniang Panlungsod’s committee on health and sanitation, assured that the city has addressed the health problems that might arise in the evacuation centers.

He said he joined city health workers, as well as those from the regional office of the Department of Health and volunteers from the Agusan del Norte Medical Society, going arou n d t he b ar ang ay s bringing medicines.

Nery added that they have distributed Doxycycline to counter the case of leptospirosis.

As of press time, members of the Butuan City Search and Rescue Team, together with the Coast Guard, police, Army, Navy and civilian volunteers are conducting search and rescue operations for those trapped in the flooded areas. (Erwin Mascarinas / MindaNews)

Wednesday they decided to strictly implement anew such policy to encourage provincial, city and municipal police chiefs to sustain an intensified campaign against various forms of illegal activities in their areas.

He cited that some local police chiefs appeared to have turned loose so far in terms of their campaign against illegal gambling and other related activities.

“We’ve implemented this policy before but it was set aside for quite some time and eventually forgotten by some of our police chiefs,” he said in a radio interview.

The “one-strike policy” initially provided for the immediate relief of a station commander or chief of police should an anti-illegal gambling operation of other law enforcement units in their areas of responsibility yield positive result.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) later expanded the application of the policy, which was aimed to keep

local police chiefs on their toes, in the anti-illegal logging drive and the national campaign against wanted persons.

A number of police station chiefs in this city and others parts of Region 12 were relieved by the PRO12 in the past for failing the “one-strike policy” in the illegal gambling campaign.

Illegal gambling activities, specifically the “last two” illegal numbers game, have been thriving in various parts of the region since the early 80s.

“Last two” is an illegal numbers game where the winning combination is derived from the last two digits of the winning number combination of the daily lotto draw of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.

Aside from the strict implementation of the “onestrike policy,” Camba said the regional police office will push for the upgrading this year of the operational capability of local policemen.

He said they will impose policies that would set proper discipline among their personnel and make sure that they perform their duties and mandates well.

Camba said he will personally monitor the operations and performance of all police stations and units within the region and make sure that they fully comply with their mandates.

He pointed out that all Philippine National Police (PNP) units and personnel are mandated to follow a single set of directives and policies set by their leadership.

The official was referring to the strategies introduced

by PNP Director General Alan Purisima that mainly focus on competence, organizational development and reforms, discipline, excellence and professionalism.

“We will check and see to it that these policies are implemented properly by our police offices and stations,” he added.

Camba assumed as OIC of PRO-12 last January 14, replacing acting regional director Chief Supt. Manolito Labador.

Labador, who was the former deputy director for administration of PRO-12, was designated as acting director in early December following the appointment of then regional director Chief Supt. Charles Calima Jr. as head of the PNP directorate for intelligence.

mitigating reason for disasters and calamities are to be blamed when we do not come with our arrival figures, weather weather lang yan. But seriously speaking, questions would arise if figures feed to the bureaucracy are right or wrong? When hotel business fails, the supplied figures were probably wrong? If the business performs then the culled data are absolutely right. In Cagayan de Oro we

look forward to receive the correct and honest data from the government to fastract the DOTC commitment for the Air Navigational Landing Equipment at Laguindingan Airport which is now twelve months overdue.

I stopped counting how many domestic flights did not make it to Cagayan de Oro in the last seven days.

Corona’s impeachment was a Malacanang-masterminded conspirac y, ruthlessly carried out with presidential pressure and the people’s money.

-oooBLANK PAPERS FOR C ORONA I M PE AC H MENT: People’s money for the impeachment of Corona? Yes, in millions yet, it would appear now.

Let us read what Alcover wrote about this in his Facebook timeline: “I was the first member of Congress to expose this. There was even a press release from Congress leadership (then) for me to be investigated in the Ethics Committee for maligning members of the House (of Representatives).

“I even challenged them in my privileged speech to expel me for telling the truth that there were millions involved in Corona’s impeachment. The hand of Malacanang was very clear as crystal. We were asked to sign a blank paper to favor the Chief Justice’s impeachment.

“Nawalan rin ako ng millions dito for not signing that resolution. Lumabas na ang katotohanan. Sa amo pa, `walay aso makomkom’.

The truth shall make us free.

Tuloy ang Laban!!!! (I lost millions here for not signing that resolution. The truth is now coming out. For us, there is no secret that will not be disclosed. On with the fight!!!)”

-oooOPPRESSION AND TAKING BRIBES: To all those who had a hand in any travesty of justice, let the Word of God, in Amos 5 of the Bible, judge and convict you and your family, and your children to the fourth generation. Read on: “There are those who turn justice into bitterness and cast righteousness to the ground... There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court and detest the one who tells the truth…

“There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes and deprive the poor of justice in the courts… Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, says: There will be wailing in all the streets and cries of anguish in every public square. The farmers will be summoned to weep and the mourners to wail.

There will be wailing in all the vineyards, for I will pass through your midst,” says the Lord…

“Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord

God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is.

Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts…”

tion would either change or improve one’s paradigm in viewing for his future life.

In school, investing for the future is what a student perception is. It means that after school, there are ambitions and wishes that are waiting to be fulfilled.

Education is made for the purpose learning and gaining knowledge. Knowledge, on the other hand, is of course for the purpose of uplifting what is already ordinary. One is to level up the way of life and as well, life itself.

Festival... from page 2

(Recipe No. 3) by Joeromer Bacus takes another height as it competes in Cinemagis. The film has reaped a rundown of nominations during the 2013 Mindanao Film Festival in Davao City and Sala Mindanaw in General Santos City.

As a psycho-thriller, the film underscores the consequences of an unrequited affection and tells a journey to the limitation of one’s sanity. Although there are “obscene scenes” in the movie, their writer Orpheus Nery explained: “It’s art and it should be free. Like any other art pieces, a film’s outcome is based upon the viewer and how he interprets it.”

Cinemagis perks Cinemagis also features three films with special citation: the award-winning film thesis of Glenn Mark Doromal, “Walang Katapusang Adlaw” (Infinite Sun), a documentary film on Cagayan de Oro City’s “Hapsay” governance, “Street Vendors” by Joi Gacayan and “Backwash,” a Sendong aftermath documentary film

by Jose Alfonso Sendaydiego.

The free Guerilla Film Making Crash Course to interested film enthusiasts will transpire on Jan 24-25, 10:00 am to 12 noon at the XULT. Under the banner of NCCA through its National Committee on Cinema, Cinemagis was organized in collaboration with Xavier Science Foundation (XSF), Research Institute for Mindanao Culture (RIMCU), XU NSTP and SM City Cagayan de Oro. Dr. Steven Patrick “Tibo” Fernandez, Rudolph Alama and Felimon B. Blanco comprise this year’s festival jury.

The winners of the student and professional categories will be announced during the awards night on Jan 25 at SM City Event Center.

Furthermore, the winners will be featured in Cinema Rehiyon on February 18-22, to be hosted also by XCCA. Despite the absence of formal film schools in Northern Mindanao, Cinemagis has served as an avenue to showcase the artworks of filmmakers in the region.

“Even though we don’t have formal film schools in city yet, Cinemagis, in a way, fills that gap,” said Hobart Savior, XCCA director. “This festival is about harvesting the filmmaking potentials of Northern Mindanao and celebrating our local talents, voices and culture.”
