Oro City, which identi-fied specific areas that were hit as prone to flashfloods.”

In fact, the statement said, DENR Secretary Ra-mon Paje had advised LGUs to look into the geohazard maps and urged the decla-ration areas identified as flood-and landslide-prone as “no habitation zone(s).”

David said the DENR-MGB would come up with an assessment and analysis in the coming days to ex-plain the reasons for the flashfloods and their impact on the two cities.

thing?)In Isla de Oro alone,

1,260 families were affected (or 5,440 people); 12 deaths reported; 15 persons miss-ing and 38 persons injured, according to data posted by the Department of Social Work and Development at the Cagayan de Oro City Central School, an evacu-ation center.

Further, PNoy said that the tragedy should be inves-tigated to prevent a repeat, as lives even of the rescuers

were lost during rescue operations.

“Para hindi maulit ang trahedyang ito, kailan-gang malaman kung saan nagkulang, kung sino ang may pagkukulang, at kung paano ito dapat panagutan,” Aquino said.

(So as not to experience the tragedy again, we must know what we lack, who has the defect, and how we should respond.)

The task force is made up of representatives from

government agencies such as the Department of Inte-rior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Social Welfare and Develop-ment (DSWD), Department of Public Works and High-ways (DPWH), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and the Mindanao Development Authority.

Meanwhile, Aquino is keen on the implementation of the total log ban in the Armm region and personally instructed newly appointed Armm OIC-Governor Mu-riv Hataman to strictly put it into operation.

THE death toll due to flash-floods spawned by tropi-cal storm ‘Sendong’ (In-

‘Sendong’ death toll reaches 1,000ternational name: Washi) reached 1,000 in Visayas and Mindanao Tuesday afternoon, and expected to

exceed this mark as search and retrieval operations by various sector continue, the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) said.

NDRRMC executive di-rector Benito Ramos said they were comparing figures with Tropical Storms “Yol-ing” and “Susang” in the 1970s and “Ondoy” in 2009.

As of 3 p.m. the death toll in Cagayan de Oro is 579 while Iligan City is 283 and Dumaguete City is 138.

The total number of population affected in 260 barangays in 30 municipali-ties and 8 cities in the 13 provinces of Regions VI,

VII, IX, X, XI, CARAGA, and ARMM is 63,079 fami-lies or 338,415 persons.

Ramos said the death toll may rise as additional bodies were retrieved from the seashore of Macajalar Bay and at the Cagayan de Oro River. NDRRMC said as of 3 p.m., a total of 49 persons remained missing.

Ramos said the total number of population cur-rently served inside and outside evacuation centers is 51,083 families or 284,610 persons.

In Iligan City, half dozen funeral parlors were full to capacity and no longer accepting bodies. The first 50 or so unclaimed bodies

were buried in individual tombs at the city cemetery, Ramos said.

Agriculture damage is placed at P 1,936,415.

Meanwhile, the Philip-pine National Police (PNP) Police Community Rela-tions issued memorandum to all units alerting their respective Search and Res-cue (SAR) teams and water assets for possible deploy-ment.

Meanwhile, President Benigno S. Aquino III led the distribution of relief goods to displaced residents affected by floods due to the heavy rains spawned by tropical storm “Sendong” at an evacuation center in City Central School, Cagayan de Oro City.

Aquino talked to the evacuees, whose numbers swelled to 1,550 families composed of nearly 6,000 persons.

Atty. Araceli Solamillo, Regional Director, Depart-ment of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD-10) said the food packs con-tained 3 kilos of rice, 4 cans sardines, 5 packs, noodles, 2 cans corned beef and sachets of coffee. This is in addition to the relief goods provided by the local government and concerned private organizations.

“Earlier this week, we have also distributed non-food items like blankets, mats, used clothing among others for thousands of people,” she said.

Rodriguez also em-phasized that he also considered talking with Aboitiz Corporation for the installation of small hydro-package mill. He said the current of the rivers is enough to oper-ate the turbine.

“ We h av e A g u s a n River here and this may possibly be a good loca-tion for the installation of a turbine… there’s no need to have a dam anymore… the water current will allow the turbine to work,” he said.

The official further said considering solar power system is Mind-anao is a good alternative for electricity.

He said this is the on ly che ap est p ower source. “We hope we can also bring in solar power in Mindanao because that is the only cheapest source of power we can have,” Rodriguez said.

Earlier, Maximo and his brother, Cagayan de Oro second district Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, passed a resolution at the House of the Representa-tives urging the House Committee on energy to conduct an inquiry into the Department of Energy, Psalm, and other related agencies after the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management C orporat ion’s (Psa lm) aired its plan to increase universal charge for elec-tricity by 30 centavos per kilowatt hour.

The two lawmakers said many local officials are against the plan of Psalm saying it will just add up more hardships to the already suffering people of Mindanao.

“ESTABLISH firecracker and pyrotechnic zones” where people may light firecrackers and pyrotech-nic devices in celebrating Christmas and the New Year.

Thus, Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse M. Robredo on Thursday asked provincial governors, city and municipal may-ors and punong barangays throughout the country in an effort to minimize casualties that goes with the revelry this holiday season especially on New Year’s day.

“Let’s strive to minimize or even go for “zero casual-ties” in firecracker-related injuries and incidence of fire this Yuletide season,” Robredo said.

“And the idea of desig-nating a specific firecracker and pyrotechnic area in a community could help a lot in attaining our objective,” he added.

The DILG secretary en-joined local chief execu-tives to regulate the sale, manufacture, distribution and use of firecrackers and other pyrotechnic devices in their respective localities as mandated by Republic Act 7183.

In his directive, Robredo urged local authorities to see to it that only the fol-lowing types of firecrackers

are manufactured, sold, distributed or used namely, baby rocket, “bawang,” small triangulo, pulling of string, paper cups, el Diablo, Judah’s belt, sky rocket (kwitis) and other types equivalent in explosive content.

For pyrotechnic devices, those that are allowed are sparklers, luces, fountain, jumbo, mabuhay, Roman candle, trompillo, airwolf , whistle device, butterfly, among others.

Robredo also directed local officials to take the lead in the conduct of an information campaign on the proper use of all kinds of firecrackers and pyrotechnic devices, and to be watch-ful of radical groups that may take advantage of the holiday season’s merriment for their lawless designs.

THINK a minute.This is a true story

about a young lady who got so tired of living with her strict parents that she ran away from home. But she soon found out that life was not easy on her own.

She couldn’t find a job, and it didn’t take long for her friends to get sick of her living off of their kindness so they kicked her out.

We l l , t h i s y o u n g 19-year-old girl got so desperate she decided to start making money by becoming a prostitute.

Years passed. Her father died. Her mother grew older. And the daughter’s life just got worse and terribly unhappy. But she still would not write or go home to see her mother.

One day the mother heard that her daughter was seen in a certain part

The unlocked door

Christmas

Walay tubig

of town, so she went there looking for her daughter.

She went to every store and cheap hotel asking to put a picture on their walls. It was a picture of herself, now a gray-haired woman.

Beside her picture was this message to her daugh-ter which simply said: “I still love you! Please come home!”

Months went by and

nothing happened. Then one day the daughter who was now very skinny and sick wandered into one of those hotels.

You can imagine how shocked she was to see her mother’s picture on the wall of that dirty, cheap hotel.

As she read her mother’s message to her she began to cry.

That night she started walking the many miles back to her home.

It was early in the morn-ing when she finally arrived at the front door of her parent’s house.

She began to knock but the door was already open.

Afraid that someone had broken into her par-ent’s house, she ran inside and woke up the sleeping old lady and told her she had finally come home.

Mother and daughter

began to cry as they held each other.

The daughter said: “I thought someone had bro-ken open the door!”

But the mother shook her head and answered gently: “My dear, from the day you left I’ve kept the door unlocked.”

You know, it does not matter to Jesus Christ what wrong things you’ve done or how badly you’ve lived.

The moment you decide to turn to Him and ask His forgiveness, He will always accept you and give you another chance.

Jesus is the One Who will enable you to start a new life all over again, but this time living His way with Him in charge.

He said that’s the only way you’ll ever have real love, peace of mind, and satisfaction that lasts.

Just Think a Minute.

UPAT na lang kaadlaw gikan karon ug Pasko na apan ang tubig nga mas labing gikinahanglan sa katawhan sa dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro wala pa gyud mabalik sa normal.

Matud pa sa taga-Cowd kon Cagayan de Oro Water District nga sila naning-kamot nga mahibalik ang supply sa tubig sa “labing daling panahon.”

Sayop tingali ng giin-gon sa Cowd nga: “The Cagayan de Oro Water Dis-trict (COWD) management assured the public that it is “doing everything ...to re-store normal (water) supply operations at the soonest possible time.”

Himoon daw nila ang tanan aron mahibalik ang supply sa tubig sa labing daling panahon apan 5 na ka adlaw wala man lagi tubig.

Mosabot kita nga dako ang damyos nga natagamta-man sa Cowd.

Asa na diay ang in-yong kita? Wala ba diaw kamo emergency fund nga magamit?

Looy na kaayo ang mga konsumidor sa tubig ilabina niadtong nawad-an sa ilang

minahal sa kinabuhi.Kung kadtong mga tawo

nga wala naigo sa baha, na-glisod sa tubig nga ikaligo, ilaba, ug mainom unsa na kaha kadtong mga tawo nga anaa karon sa mga “evacu-ation centers.”

Lihuk na intawon mo mga trabahante sa Cowd. Kung mahimo ayaw sa mo diha pagdawat sa mga dag-kong bonus nga sobra-sobra.

Atimana ninyo ang la-bing mas importante––ug kini mao nga mabalik ang supply sa tubig.

Malikayan unta kining problemaha kung gilan-taw pa unta sa Cowd ang tinarong nga pagserbisyo.

Una, ila untang gipang-utana ang ilang kaugalingon kung “typhoon-tested” ba ang ilang facilities.

Gipangutana unta nila ang ilang mga Board of Directors nga dagko og mga nadawatan kung mag-baha makasugakod ba ang ilang mga facilities ug dili mao ang pangutana sa mga BOD nga “pila diay akong madawat nga kwarta?”

THERE are 3 stages in a man’s life. The first stage: He believes in Santa Claus. The second stage: He does not believe in Santa Claus. The third stage: He be-lieves HE IS Santa Claus.

Ho. Ho. Ho. For this reason, we are making a shopping list and checking it twice, so friends will know we are not naughty but nice.

Christmas is just an-other excuse to indulge in our predilection for pleasures and things, he-donists that we are.

In our crass culture of materialism, Santa Claus with his big bag of good-ies is a more fitting icon for the commercial fes-tival that Christmas has become.

Ironically, the l itt le child Jesus Christ, who is the reason for the season that bears His name, is all but forgotten and buried in the clutter of wrapping paper.

Don’t look for Jesus in

parties or malls. He is not invited there. He is in the quiet stable of your heart when your knees are bent and your head is bowed in prayer.

Advent is a t ime of spiritual preparation. But it doesn’t look like we’re preparing for the coming of the Prince of Peace, but the arrival of the godfather of gifts. We prefer blingdom to God’s kingdom.

We desire entertain-ment more than enlight-enment. That is why we are stumbling in the dark,

because we choose not the light.

For Christmases past, I’m ashamed to admit that I spent this holy season not as a faithful follower of the Son of Man, but as a faithless worshipper of the sun of fun.

Jesus’ pitying glance has finally convicted me. I look at our table groaning with calorific enticements, and I am put to shame. I hear the moan of hungry children with bloated stomachs, and it’s my turn to groan.

What gall to gobble up a lavish feast while outside my comfy cocoon a needy family is making do with a tiny plate of rice sprinkled with lots of salt. This is their entire Noche Buena.

Guilty thoughts like this point an accusing finger at me, and the paksiw get stuck in my throat.

The newborn King is wrapped in ukay-ukay, but here I am strutting in my designer attire. Dis-graceful!

Mercifully, it’s not too late for us to come to our senses. Christmas is not yet over. We still have time for a spiritual make-over. I made a pledge that I will make my Christmas mean-ingful, by daily scattering seeds of generosity.

Everyday, at least one person who is in need of charity shall receive a blessing from me, either in cash or in kindness.

Instead of a Misa de Gallo, mine will be a No-vena de Amor. With per-severance, this could turn into a lifestyle of giving. Then I shall know the in-effable joy of celebrating Christmas everyday.

Yes, be Santa Claus. Be a bearer of gifts to the poor children that Santa Claus forgot.

Are you celebrating a Merry Christmas or a Blessed Christmas? The Ho-Ho-Ho is not the voice to follow. Listen to the angels sing, and you will find the newborn King!

AS of 4:00 pm kagahapon, mikabat na sa 579 ang patay ug 482 ang missing nga mga biktima sa Bagyong Sendong diin mihapak sa dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro niadtong miaging adlaw.

Kini maoy gibutyag ni Vicente Y. Emano sa dihang gi-interview sa Magnum Radyo ning dakbayan kaga-hapon sa hapon.

Si Emano miingon nga hayan madugangan pa ang gidaghanon sa nangamatay tungod kay daghan pa sa mga patayng lawas ang nag-utaw-utaw sa kadagatan sa lungsod sa Jasaan, Misamis Oriental.

Sigun sa tinubdan sa atung balita, nasayran nga moabot pa kini ngadto sa usa kalibo ang patay ug usa kalibo usab ang miss-ing niini gumikan kay ang

Emano: 579 patay, 482 missing sa CDO

ubang mga patayng biktima mismo, walay nakataho kanila ngadto sa mga tinug-yanan kay walay lain silang mga paryente nga nagpuyo dinhi sa dakbayan.

Kahinumdoman, ang ubang nakaplagan nga pa-tayng mga lawas atua nag-utaw-utaw sa mga kadagatan sa Misamis Ortiental ug

Iligan City. Ang uban niini anaa nasangit sa mga kahoy ug nalubong sa mabagang lapok.

Samtang laing nakita usab sa ilalom sa Rotonda sa may Tomasaco-Carmen Bridge nga maayong pag-kaputos sa baga nga mga sagbot ug gamot.

Halos ang mga mag-pupoyo sa Kalakala, Ma-casandig ning dakbayan ang nangamatay ug pipila lamang kanila ang naluwas niini. Usa sa narescue ug dakong buhi mao ang tibuok membro sa pamilya kinsa nakasakay sa dako nilang sulbabida ug didto nag-utaw-utaw sa Macajalar Bay.

Sa Barangay Balulang lamang, mikabat sa 30 ka patayng lawas ang narecov-er wala pay labot sa mga missing niini. Gitohoan

nga madugangan pa kining maong gidaghanon sa patay ug missing. Intero Balulang gayud ang nakasinati sa taas nga tubig-baha halos motupong na sa alkuba sa secondfloor sa mga pani-malay. Looy kadtong mugbo nga mga balay kay wala silay katungtongan niini. Gawas sa Manggahan ug Villa Verde mao lamang ang wala malanapi gumikan kay naka-elevate kini.

Usa sa narescue nga taga Isla de Oro, kagahapong adlawa kinsa nag-utaw-utaw na lamang sakay sa bani sa saging didto gihapon sa Macajalar Bay. Gikataho nga daghang patay ug miss-ing gikan sa Isla de Oro, Isla Dela ug Isla Bugnaw nga anaa nahimutang sa tungatunga sa Cagayan de Oro River.

In its advisor y, the COWD management ex-plained that their qual-ity control laboratory in Pilot de Lara, Macasandig has been totally damaged rendering the agency in-capable of monitoring the level of residual chlorine in its distribution lines.

The COWD will also be undertaking the clean-ing of collector wells; re-habilitation of 10 elec-tric motors; testing and rehabilitation of six (6) transformers; rehabilita-tion of 11 motor control-lers; disinfection of six (6)production wells; and testing and commission-ing of facilities in the next 31 days.

The C OWD’s main booster pumping station and six (6) production wells have been completely damaged by Typhoon Sen-

THE Cagayan de Oro City Water District would like to inform our concessionaires and the public in general that the typhoon SEN-DONG has wrought extensive damage to our facilities.

Our main booster pumping station in Macasandig was com-pletely damaged as it was almost totally submerged in floodwater at the height of the typhoon along with six of our production wells. Interruption in power supply has also affected the operations of some of our pumping facilities. We are currently operating using our generators. Some production wells particularly in Bugo, Tablon and Macasandig have already been operational. Delivery of water from our bulk supplier, the Rio Verde Water Consortium, Inc., has also not been possible since Saturday due to the damage on the bridge crossing where supply to our take-off point would have been channeled. This brings the total supply shortfall to around 70% in the west service area and 46% in the central and east service area. Total estimated cost of damage is about P30, 400,000.00. Below are our completely damaged properties:

1. MACASANDIG Booster Pumping Station, Pilot De Lara, Macasandig)

2. COWD Laboratory (for Quality Control), Pilot De Lara, Ma-casandig

3. Production Well #1, Pilot De Lara, Macasandig4. Production Well #4, Biasong, Macasandig5. Production Well #7, Biasong, Macasandig6. Production Well #9, Biasong, Macasandig7. Production Well #19, Vila Angela, Balulang8. Production Well #24, Caballero Compound, BalulangOn the other hand, our facilities in operation are:1. Bugo Booster Station - Villa Trinitas Subdivision, Bugo (From

Bugo, Tablon and Lapasan)2. PW#20, 21 & 22 - Villa Trinitas Subdivision, Bugo (From

Bugo, Tablon and Lapasan)3. PW#5 - Reyes Village Subdivision, Bugo (From Bugo, Tablon

and Lapasan)4. PW#11 - Bantiles, Bugo (From Bugo, Tablon and Lapasan)5. PW#23 - Tin-ao, Agusan (From Bugo, Tablon and Lapasan)6. PW#29 & 28 - Phasco Village, Tablon (From Bugo, Tablon

and Lapasan)7. PW#3A - Beside Macasandig Elementary School (Mandumol

, Aluba, Tibasak)8. Balulang Booster Station - Balulang (From Balulang to the

whole west service area)9. PW#14 - Balulang (From Balulang to the whole west service

area)10. PW#25 - Balulang (From Balulang to the whole west

service area)11. PW#26 - Singapore, Balongis (From Balulang to the whole

west service area)12. PW#27 - Macanhan (From Balulang to the whole west

service area)13. PW#17 - Balongis, beside Marymount Academy (From

Balulang to the whole west service area)Meanwhile, COWD is utilizing all its available resources to

facilitate water delivery to the affected areas. COWD has also sought the assistance of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and private individuals and groups with fire trucks to assist in distributing water by allowing them free access to our hydrants along the highway from Lapasan to Bugo. For their support we are indeed truly grateful.

A cluster of public faucets have also been installed beside our fire hydrants to allow our concessionaires easy access to water. The public is encouraged to go to any of the facilities identified below with their containers so they may collect water for their storage and consumption.

1. PW#3A - Pumping Station ( Faucets) (Near Macasandig Elementary School)

2. M.U.S.T. - Faucets (Near Mindanao University of Science & Technology)

3. Bgy. Lapasan Plaza - Hydrant (Lapasan)4. CUMC - Hydrant (Across CUMC Hospital, Gusa)5. Capistrano Complex - Hydrant (Entrance of Capistrano

Complex)6. Balulang Booster Station - Faucets (Balongis, Balulang)7. PW#17 - Faucets (Near Mary Mount Academy, Balulang)8. PW#25 - Faucets (Villa Angela, Balulang)9. PW#27 - Faucets (Near DSWD, Macanhan)10. KSY - Hydrant (Vamenta, Carmen)11. Julie?s Bakeshop - Hydrant (Vamenta, Carmen)12. Jollibee Carmen - Hydrant (Vamenta, Carmen)13. Golden Heritage - Hydrant (Vamenta, Carmen)14. Elipe Park - Hydrant (Fronting Liceo, Patag Road)15. COWD Sub-office - Hydrant (Kauswagan)16. PW#10 - Faucets (Calaanan)However, since our laboratory is among our facilities that have

been totally damaged and therefore has rendered us incapable of monitoring the level of residual chlorine in our distribution lines, COWD strongly advises the consuming public to BOIL THE WATER BEFORE DRINKING for their own safety and protection.

All efforts to restore the damaged facilities to normal operat-ing condition are being exerted. To attain this, COWD shall be implementing the following activities in the next 31 days:

-Cleaning of Collector Wells-Rehabilitation of Electric Motors ? 10 units-Testing and Rehabilitation of Transformers- 6 units-Rehabilitation of Motor Controllers ? 11 units-Disinfection of Production Wells ? 6 production wells-Testing and Commissioning of FacilitiesThese events are fortuitous and totally beyond our control.

Nevertheless, we would like to assure the public that COWD is doing everything in its capacity to restore normal supply opera-tions the soonest possible time. We are calling for sobriety and patience in this time of crisis.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.COWD MANAGEMENT

Sa ato pa, naghulga pinaagi sa mahait nga butang o giwara-wara nga hinagiban atol sa panaglalais. Ang silot niana, mapreso ang suspect gikan sa usa ka bulan ug usa ka adlaw ngadto sa unom ka bulan. Kung buot ka’g kahusayan, ipatawag siya sa inyong Lupon. Salamat.

Started by resident artist and provincial administrator Patrick U. Gabutina in 2005, the capitol grounds have become the site for installation artworks such as the Canopy of Lights he jointly conceived with fellow artist Cris Rollo (2006), the Lantay by Errol Balcos (2008), and the 1,001 Lights of Hope, Joy and Redemption of Ivan F. Macarambon (2010). “Governor Oscar S. Moreno gave us a free hand to decide how we would decorate the park during Christmas,” Mr. Gabutina recalls. “He just told me to do something the people would enjoy.” Installation art is character-ized by the use of indigenous materials selected for their “evocative” qualities. They are oft en site-specifi c, and are designed to exist only in the location for which they were created. Unlike traditional sculpture which stresses its focus on form, contemporary installation art emphasizes the “intention” of the artist, much like the con-ceptual art in vogue during the 1960s, Mr. Gabutina said. F o r i n s t a n c e , t h e Lantay(bamboo pallet chair cum chaise lounge usually found in rural salas or verandas) of Errol Balcos was a practical

Macaram-bon, the capitol’s culture and arts consultant, conceptualized the 1,001 Lights of Hope, Joy and Redemption which basically consisted of 1,400 teardrop-diamond shaped lanterns made by inmates from the Misamis Oriental Provincial Jail with in-digenous materials traditionally used for the parols they usually make during the last quarter of the year to earn a little extra income for Christmas. “Th rough this project we brought hope, joy and redemp-tion to the inmates and their families by bringing them back to the mainstream of society through this artwork that the residents who frequent the park during the Christmas season

enjoy watching, especially dur-ing evenings,” Mr. Macarambon said. As a bow to the plague of global warming and climate change, this year’s installation artwork that Mr. Macarambon has titled “2,000 Guiding Stars” was inspired by a seminar-workshop conducted by the Product Development and Design Center of the Phil-ippines (PDDCP) he joined with fellow artist Chris Gomez which included a module on “ecodesign.” Th e artwork features reused four-liter plastic containers (lo-cally known as galon) wrapped in the plastic material locally known as charol, commonly used by carenderias to cover their tables. “We want to bring pure light

to the visitors of the park, as a symbol of purity and goodness,” Mr. Macarambon said. “With the recycling of the common plastic galon, we attempt to elevate this everyday mate-rial to the level of minimalist installation art.” Th e galon has been cut to a simple cylinder and adorned with a simple tail of white charol and changes shape with the weather: closing their fronds like cocoons during wet and cold spells, or opening up and waving with the wind like con-fetti from heaven. “Th e simplicity of the design underscores the message of purity and goodness, quali-ties that the Messiah, a child born in a manger, posses,” he added.

37th PICE Annual National Convention held at Cagayan de Oro CityBy JOE PALABAO globally that is constantly

reminding the civil en-gineering works must be concerned also with environment and energy engineering which in-cludes disaster risk man-agement. Conscientiously they support the society’s campaign for resilience against natural and envi-ronmental disaster cam-paign. The country then needs structures and in-frastructure that comprise in it that the foundation of economy is built on and as a vehicle upon crucial services are delivered to the people. The 37th PICE Annual National Convention was hosted by PICE National Board of Directors with its concurrent Nation-al President Benito M. Pacheco from Quezon

AN estimated of more than five thousand (5,000)

Dedication to work that leads to excellence and integrity being infra-structure builders for nation development. Civil Engineers are building infrastructures that are crucial to a de-veloping nation-for it is the foundation which the Philippine economy is built on and the ve-hicle upon the crucial services are delivered to the people-the govern-ment recognizes the vital role that the engineers play in the construction and maintenance of the important enablers of development. With the theme “PICE AT THE CREST FOR COMPETI-TIVENESS, RESILIENCE & TRANSPARENCY” is an appropriate theme as the Civil Engineers of the nation expands their hori-zons and strengthen their foundation and nurture senses of responsibilities not only for communi-ties but also for national development. The convention also tackled environment, locally, nationally and

City and supported by PICE Misamis Oriental-Cagayan de Oro Chapter with its active President Engr. Rey Peter Gille.
