Additional two years is an added burden: parents

According to the Depart-ment of Education (DepEd), one of the benefits of the K to 12 program is that it is affordable. However, the Alliance of the Concerned Teachers (ACT) said the additional two years in the four years of high school is an additional cost to parents.

“How can it be afford-able when the DepEd added two years to the four years of high school? Of course it is an additional cost to parents. A parent does not only spend money in tuition but also in transportation, school projects and food,” said France Castro, secretary general of ACT.

The global alliance of overseas Filipinos and

families MigranteInternational also de-

cried the added cost to par-ents who are OFWs.

Garry Martinez, chair-man of Migrante said OFWs will bear the brunt of the added cost on top of the continuous increases in prices of basic commodities amid the depreciating dollar.

IF there is someone who worries about the implementation of the K to 12 pro-gram – it’s the parents. The addition of two years to basic education does not sit well with the parents especially those who work hard just to send their children to school.

He added that while ba-sic education is free, studies show that a student would still need an average of P20,000 ($476) per school year to cover transportation, food, school supplies and other school requirements. The migrant leader said OFW remittances usually cover basic needs such as food, house rentals or amor-tizations, utilities and other monthly expenses.

Based on the latest Fam-ily Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), families pri-oritize spending for food and other basic necessities. “An additional two years more of education will be an added burden to OFWs. They loan money for the enrollment or they will work thrice as hard just to pay for the tuition and other fees,” Martinez said.

Meanwhile, parents whose children will be af-fected by the K to 12 pro-gram are not in agreement with the DepEd’s policy implementation.

A CATHOLIC bishop has lauded the Senate Commit-tee on Public Information for sponsoring a committee report consolidating the Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill, and challenged the House of Representa-tives to do the same.

“This action was some-thing commendable, it means that the issue of the FOI bill has improved in the Senate,” Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo said during the General As-sembly of the Kilusang 99% at the CBCP compound in Intramuros, May 31.

On May 29, the Senate

Bishop dares Congress to approve FOI billCommittee on Public Infor-mation headed by Senator Gregorio B. Honasan II has submitted the FOI bill to the plenary for deliberations.

“I hope that the House of Representative will also initiate the approval of FOI’s bill,” added Pabillo, who is also Chairman of the Na-tional Secretariat for Social Action – Justice and Peace of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philip-pines (NASSA-CBCP) and convener of “Kilusang 99%”.

Pabillo said the FOI bill will help resolve the issue of alleged “lack of transpar-ency” among government

officials as was the case of the ousted Chief Justice Renato Corona.

The controversial bill, however, did not pass dur-ing the 14th Congress due to lack of interest among members of Congress.

Kilusang 99%, a social reform movement consists of more than 80 member organizations and some well-known individuals also commended the initiative of the Senate to push the passage of information bill.

“In behalf of the K99 movement, we praised the Senate Committee on Pub-lic Information for keep-

ing intact a progressive, pro-people FOI bill,” said Ambrosio ‘Bong’ Palad, Philippine Airlines Employ-ees’ Association (PALEA) National Secretary and

Everyone is aware that God is the giver of life. And it couldn’t be denied we all thank the Lord for the beautiful gifts we received. We have different ways on how to praise and appre-ciate the goodness of our Lord. As a human being, we control our emotions if we encounter hardships in our daily life. There are hundreds of circum-stances, values and emo-tions that can drive our life. Life is immeasurable and has different myster-ies. But remember, God has a purpose of our own

What is Life?destiny here on earth. We need to understand every situation that we face. Let us not surrender if there is a problem, fight for it and go on to build a better future. Is it easy to do? Can we smile if we have a bad feeling? It depends on the kind of situation.

There are people who are good examples on how they survived because of endur-ance and faith in God. It’s not easy to tackle difficulties but because of their strong faith in God they deserve peace of mind and inner joy. Everybody is tasked

by our Lord to be a model or an example in the com-munity but the question is, what have I done? Did I follow the words of our Lord? Since we are given chance to perform it nicely, let us try our best to do the words from the bible to help ourselves grow as a mature person. We will not use the month that insults criticizes but speaks for truth. As a human being we become deaf of the pains of our fel-lowmen. So, let us open our ears and hear the cry of our friends. By doing this, we will experience the real joy.

ZAMBOANGA City––Combined police and mili-tary operatives arrested on Friday three suspected illegal recruiters in an en-trapment operation in this southern port city, the police reported.

The Zamboanga City Police Office (ZCPO) iden-tified the arrested suspects as Asia Jimlani, 34; Jack Murusad, 56; and Jamlaila Murusad, 50, all of Barangay Mampang here.

The ZCPO reported that the entrapment operation was carried Friday in the barangay hall of Tumaga,

3 illegal recruiter suspects nabbed

4.3 kilometers northwest of this city, following days of surveillance on the activities of the suspects.

The surveillance was launched after a confidential informant reported that the suspects were engaged in illegal recruitment and human trafficking, the po-lice said.

Confiscated from the possession of Jimlani was P3,000 marked money con-sisting of six pieces of P500 bills. Police has detained the suspects for tactical investigation. WITH WIRE REPORT

A BACKPACK bag left by a passenger inside a passenger bus turned out five kilos marijuana leaves during a sur-prise checkpoint and inspection along national highway in Barangay Lasang in Davao City.

Members of the Task Force Davao have confiscated the dried marijuana leaves and the backpack bag earlier left by a male passenger who disembarked in Panabo City on sensing tight police watch in the area.

Major Clifton Tangonan, spokesperson of TF Davao, said the contraband might be intended for Davao City and was deliberately abandoned by its courier upon sensing the tight watch put in place by authorities.

He said the items were turned over to the Bunawan Police Precinct for documentation and to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA 11) for proper disposal. WITH WIRE REPORTS

VANDALISM in Barangay Carmen reflects the attitude of local officials running the affairs of the barangay. It does not reflect the attitude of a genuine Cagayanon. A true Cagayanon takes into consideration environmental protection and respect of public properties.

What is happening in Carmen’s overpass reflect utter disrespect of government-owned properties. The vandalism that barangay officials tend to en-courage insulted the people of Cagayan de Oro.

It is clear that a leadership that does not look

into the welfare of its constituents had influenced those barangay officials, although not all of them, in Carmen. For years, illegal gambling remained unchecked and thrived under the very noses of barangay officials there. There were charges that top barangay officials were collecting ‘grease money’ from these illegal activities. Whether those allegations were true, illegal gambling continues to these days!

There was a time when the city government’s limited garbage truck collectors failed to collect garbage as scheduled. Barangay officials allowed garbage to pile up on streets and street corners exposing the health of residents in Barangay Car-men. The people of Cagayan de Oro then started to doubt the capability of barangay officials to deliver what is good for the interest of the con-stituency.

Carmen residents, however, thanked City Mayor Vicente Emano’s initiative to contract garbage collectors that solved problems on garbage dis-posal in the barangay.

What happened to Barangay Carmen? The current barangay chairperson was formerly Congressman of the First District. As former Congressman, the barangay chairperson knows very well the needs of his constituency. Nevertheless, it appears that the present barangay head is not doing his job – even when he served as Congressman. Other-wise, vandalism, illegal gambling, and other illegal activities would not become rampant there.

If this barangay head think of running for a

higher post, he should first initiate moves to convince the people of Cagayan de Oro that he is worth as a public servant. At this time, the people of Cagayan de Oro mistrust the way he runs and keeps his own backyard.

We will always remember the vandals at Car-men overpass. We will always keep in mind the proliferation of illegal activities in the barangay. We, Cagayanons, would never allow any public official, whose manifest disrespect on proper-ties owned by the people, to become part of our dreams.

THINK a minute.A four year old girl was

seriously hurt in a car ac-cident.

She had lost so much blood that she would prob-ably die. Her only hope was for someone else to give her blood.

But her blood type was very rare and the doctors did not know if they could find anyone in time with her same blood type who was also willing to give their blood.

Then, they discovered that the girl’s seven-year-old brother had the same blood type as hers.

The doctor led her brother into his office to tell him that his baby sister was very sick and unless she received some blood, the angels would probably need to take her to heaven.

The brother’s eyes filled

No greater love

with tears. For a few mo-ments, he tried to hold back his strong feelings of fear and sadness, then he said softly to the doctor: “I’ll give my blood to my sister.”

Later, as the young boy watched his blood going through a tube into his sister, he became even more nervous and afraid.

The doctor could see the little boy’s fear and told him: “It will be over very soon.”

The boy started to cry and said: “So now is when I’m going to die.”

From the very first time the doctor had asked this boy to give his blood for his sister, the young boy thought it meant he needed to give ALL of his blood and die so his sister could live.

Yet this little boy loved his sister that much, He was giving his life for her.

Did you know Jesus Christ did even more than that for you?

Even though He is God Himself, He loves you and me so much He gave His perfectly innocent life so

we could finally be forgiven and live forever with Him. God humiliated Himself by becoming a human being to die for all our wrongs. Remember,

He never did one wrong He needed to die for. So His perfect life and death paid the penalty for all our sins.

Then after He was dead and buried for 3 days, He came back to life so we can share in His kind of life, both now and forever after we die.

He is the only hope we have. So have you asked Jesus to forgive you and give you His new life today?

He loves you more than anybody does—so much that He died to save you.

Won’t you thank and love Him in return by living His right, successful way every day?

Just Think a Minute.

IN OUR previous column, we talked about students and pupils’ security in public schools. We wrote about it since public school principals do not care about the safety of students or pupils. We call students for those studying at the secondary while pupils in the primary.

Security of students and pupils in public schools in Cagayan de Oro City are at stake during end of their classes. We have mentioned the Misamis Oriental General Comprehensive High School (MOGCHS) along Velez St. where security of students freed at night is at stake. We also talked about pupils at the West City Central Elementary School where pupils are easy prey of street muggers.

At MOGCHS, students freed at night usually engaged in a running confrontation of gangs coming from a public high school in Barangay Nazareth. These students are members of a gang known as the ‘Blood’ whose notoriety remains unchecked. There are also ‘Blood’ members at MOGCHS. They threatened non-member students.

At the West City Central Elementary School, street kids known as ‘suyop boys’ (rugby boys) waylaid pupils along the street. These ‘suyop boys’ hang around at the traffic junction beside a convenience store in barangay Carmen. There are police and traffic enforcers in the area but just let these ‘suyop boys’ hang around to prey on pupils coming from school. Sometimes, these ‘suyop

boys’ hang near the main gate of the public school and wait for opportune time to mug on unescorted pupil.

We are bringing this concern for local law enforc-ers and school authorities to take measures that would ensure the security of students and pupils. For instance, school officials at MOGCHS should free their students early in the afternoon. Usually, these students should to go home at 5:30 in the afternoon. However, students are freed at 7:30 to 8:00 in the evening because the teacher supposedly assigned to teach at 4:00 p.m. is available only at 7:00 or 8:00 in the evening. My God! Why MOGCHS is allowing this? Why MOGCHS not hire teacher who can report on time? We are aware that there are teachers elsewhere willing to take additional load on various subjects. Is MOGCHS playing favorite in assigning subjects for teachers? This is unfair for both students and parents.

At night, after students are set free, there are no as-signed police either along the vicinity of MOGCHS or at the expanse of Velez St, too. Dangers are also lurking along Capistrano St. and J. R. Borja St. leading toward the Cogon Public Market. Here, snatchers and robbers waylaid students waiting for a ride. What happened to our law enforcers? We always hear of ‘police in the block,’ ‘police visibility,’ ‘routine police patrol.’ Actually, these things happen only as publicity stint. It is unfortunate that Cagayan de Oro, home to the Philippine National Police (PNP) regional headquarters, is where illegal activities, crime against persons and properties are high.

FINALLY, President Aquino realized the importance of promptly naming a regular ambassador to the People’s Republic of China. The ap-pointment of Sonia Brady came just two days after we wrote about it in Double Barrel, Nagkataon lang siguro.

Mrs. Brady was actually our ambassador to China when Aquino assumed the presidency on June 30, 2010. She was among those who were recalled to Manila months later together with the so called “political” am-bassadors appointed by the disgraced former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Mrs. Brady was a career diplomat, not a political appointee, but she opted to retire from the service.

Ambassador Brady was replaced by aging Domingo Lee, a family friend of the Aquinos, who failed to pass the Commission on Ap-pointments and therefore was not able to report to our embassy in Beijing. In contrast, Mrs. Brady was promptly confirmed by the Commission on Appoint-ment as soon as her nomi-nation was submitted by Malacanang. The message for the Palace from the CA

was clear: Never appoint incompetent people to key positions like the ambas-sadorship to China.

The long delay, almost two years, in having a per-manent head of our mission in Beijing added to the ir-ritation and discomfort of China. It was only when China started rejecting banana imports from the Philippines that Pnoy real-ized his poor judgment on the matter.

Being an old hand in China diplomacy, we can expect Ambassador Brady to quickly to work and be able to normalize relations between our two countries in no time at all. As we have said here in an earlier item, China has no intention of escalating the feud into a shooting war. Far from it, actually.

We hope the lady ambas-sador can use her persuasive power to convince Chinese authorities to stop the flow of mediocre and low qual-ity surplus products to the Philippines. We are say-ing this because it appears our authorities, specifically those in the Bureau of Cus-toms appear to be helpless against smuggling of

FOR some patients, particularly those who have experienced episodes of intense anxiety before their cancer diagnosis, feelings of anxiety may become overwhelming and interfere with cancer treatment.

Most patients who have not had an anxiety condition before their cancer

diagnosis will not develop an anxiety disorder associated with cancer.

Intense anxiety associated with cancer treatment is more likely to occur in patients with a history of anxiety disorders and patients who are experiencing anxiety at the time of diagnosis. (from the web)

Anxiety before cancer diagnosis

Funny 1950s, 60s, 70s and early 80s

(1st of a series)SOME of us survived be-ing born to mothers, who did not have an OB-Gyne and drank wine while they carried us. While pregnant, they took cold or cough medicine, ate “Linunod, balikutsa, bukayo” and didn’t worry about dia-betes. (fb)

The finest hour in our life is when we have done good things to nameless people without expecting them to remember our acts of love and kindness. The mathematics of life is not the multiplication of wealth, but the division of task. Subtraction of greed and addition of humility. (contributed by Engr. Nestor Degoma, Iligan City)

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

tipedes, cows, pigs, horses, goats, bats, monkeys and other venomous animals.

This, after PhilHealth

ment package supports the National Rabies Prevention and Control Program of the Department of Health (DOH).

The package is fixed at P3,000 per case and shall cover the cost of Post-Ex-posure Prophylaxis (PEP) services. Reimbursable are the rabies vaccine, Rabies Immune Globulin (RIG),Human Rabies Im-mune Globulin (HRIG) and Purified Equine Rabies Immune Globulin (pERIG). (RER – PIA-Caraga/asf)

By MARY JUL ESPUERTA ESCALANTEwith MANUEL M. EGAY JR.

SU R I G AO C it y – – T h e Province of Surigao del Norte headed by Gov. S ol F. Matugas in co-operation with the De-partment of Education’s three divisions (Siargao, Su r i g a o C i t y an d Su -r igao de l Nor te ) suc-cessfully held its 5-day

Kindergarten teachers to plant seed of excellenceTri-Division Training of Trainers for Kindergarten with a theme “Honing Capabilities of Kinder-garten Teachers Towards Excellence” last May 28 to June 1, 2012 at the Provincial Convention Center.

The governor appre-ciated the efforts of the sup er intendents f rom the three divisions for ge t t ing t he b es t f rom among the best teach-ers of the province for they were the “cream of the crop” and whatever

“I feel like it’s only an additional burden and not everyone needs K to 12, es-pecially when the economy is down,” said Bernadette Biag, a 41-year old mother of three with ages four, seven and nine.

“In my opinion, this is not the time for it to be implemented because the government has not given a clear explanation about it. Almost everyone is confused about what the program re-ally is… Even the teachers and DepEd itself do not have clear answers for all the questions being asked by parents.”

“It needs to be explained well to the public first,” she added.

Isagani Pangilinan, a 46-year old father of three, also thinks the program is not beneficial. His youngest daughter is an incoming high school freshman at Pampanga Science High School.

“The curriculum was just extended,” he said. “It’s an additional expense to the government and to the people.”

His 12-year old daugh-ter is also not keen on the program. “She is dismayed because she will have to study for a longer time,” he said.

The K to 12 program will be implemented for the incoming grade one and grade seven (first year high school) students this school year 2012-2013. Grades 11 and 12 or the senior high school (SHS) on the other hand will be implemented in school year 2016-2017.

In SHS, students will choose from dif ferent specializations such as the arts, music or technical-vocational. However, Castro said, public schools have no facilities for the said specialization. “Our public schools have no facilities to accommodate the SHS students, eventually these students will opt to enroll in private schools who offer such courses,” Castro said.

She also pointed out, “The dropout rate is al-ready high now that basic education is still 10 years; how much more with the 12-year program?” In 2008, for every 100 pupils who enter grade one, only 66 finish grade six; for every 58 students who enroll in first year high school, only 43 graduate and only 23 enter college; of the 23 only 14 completes a college degree.

Kabataan Partylist Rep. Raymond Palatino also said that one of the biggest flaws of the K to 12 program is that it is anchored on im-proving the competencies of in-school youth without addressing the problem of the growing number of out-of-school youths in the country who equally deserve to be in school.

“Perhaps Aquino and his education officials should ask themselves if the K to 12 program will be able to send millions of out-of-

school youths to school? Any education reform of the government is doomed to fail if it doesn’t take into account the right of each and every citizen to have access to education and other social services.”K to 12 program to pro-duce semi-skilled young

workersCastro also criticized the

objective of K to 12 program to produce “globally com-petitive graduates” saying that the government only aims to produce semi-skilled workers for the labor export policy of the government.

Martinez also said the real motive behind the K to 12 education system is to further intensify labor export, this time systemati-cally targeting the country’s young labor force.

“What the K to 12 system will do is reinforce cheap semi-skilled youth labor for the global market. The DepEd talks of a so-called ‘professionalization’ of the young labor force mainly for labor markets abroad but unfortunately continues to ignore the very causes of forced migration, namely, lack of local jobs, low wages and landlessness,” said Mar-tinez.

He said the K to 12 sys-tem sadly undermines the youth’s very significant role in nation-building because it is geared toward provid-ing cheap semi-skilled and unskilled youth labor to the global market instead of for domestic development.

“Young workers, mostly semi-skilled and unskilled, make up approximately 10.7 percent of the total Filipino labor migrant population. Through the K to 12, the government will further program our youth not to

serve the country but to service the needs of the neoliberal global market,” said Martinez. (http://bu-latlat.com)

K99 Movement Co-Convenor.

Member organizations of the K99 movement are hoping the FOI could help lessen the corruption in the country, Palad said in an interview.

Meanwhile, the coalition “Right to Know. Right Now!” urged Eastern Samar Rep. Ben Evardone, Chairman of the House Committee on Public Information, to resolve the remaining is-sues on FOI and submit the committee report for plenary action.

Pabillo, together with the group, also called on House Speaker Feliciano “Sonny” Belmonte Jr. to stand on the side of the people and include the passage of the FOI bill in the congress.

“We are challenging the House of the Representatives to do their part. If we really want this transparency, ap-proved the FOI bill,” Pabillo said. [Yen Ocampo with CBCPNews]

these poor quality Chi-nese products, including agriculture produce.

Various components of our agriculture sector are on the uproar against non-stop smuggling of vegetables, pork, chicken and fish from maybe the West Philippine Sea or the Bajo de Zambales, perhaps. The trouble is made worse by the silence of the Palace on this particular issue. We have not heard

a palace warning issued to agriculture and customs officials on the matter of smuggled agricultural pro-duce from China.

We really can’t under-stand why smuggling can’t be stopped from our end. The more than 2,000 con-tainers that went missing was a serious case of smug-gling but, so far, only former Customs Commissioner Lito Alvarez appears as lone casualty. The big crooks at the Bureau of Customs re-mained untouched. Maybe because the smugglers are protecting them.

The challenge is for Malacanang to effect a mas-sive reorganization at the Bureau of Customs but the trouble is President Aquino himself. He appointed a new commissioner without solid track record in public administration or corporate management. What we actu-ally need is a commissioner who has a lot of guts and determination to reform the bureau and send smugglers shiver in fear if not actually behind bars.

The local government of Cagayan De Oro City meanwhile will also provide additional housing units as well as community facilities such as multi-purpose cov-ered court, material recovery facility, transport terminal,

police sub-station, school, wet/dry market, day care and health centers. The DSWD will be leading the social preparations and community organizing; the DPWH will be assisting in the construction of roadworks, drainage works and rainwater impounding area; and the DENR will take over the issuance of permits for environmental clearance.

A pleasant good evening to everyone.

Our Chief Operating Officer, Mark T. Lapid, was all set to be here with you last May 26. Unfortunately, because of unexpected changes in his schedule he expresses his deepest regrets for not being able to join you today. He has, however, requested me to deliver his message.

_______

Leadership has always been equated with excellence. Today and for the days ahead, these two quali-ties – exemplified by outstanding performance and achievements of the men and women in Mindanao – in business and entrepreneurship - serve as inspiration not only for the private sector but for us in government as well. For this, they deserve our commendation and our gratitude. We live in very challenging times. Globalization has raised the level of competitiveness to steeper heights where the rules of the games have become more demanding and exacting. Doing the same things year in and year out is no longer enough. As our honorees have shown, it is no longer enough to dream of success, we must wake up and work doubly hard to achieve it. We need to build up our competitiveness by finding innovative ways of doing business, by adding more value to our products and services. The achievements of the men and women we honor today offer us abundant lessons and insights to serve us our guiding lights in our respective fields of endeavor. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them with a sense of urgency: not tomorrow, or next week, but today. As our awardees would affirm: The true entrepreneur is more of a doer, and less of a dreamer. Beyond individual achievements, however, there lies a need to pool our efforts together, to expand this culture of excellence, to go into new ventures, and create a synergy that makes us more competitive not only as individuals, but as a community, as a region, and as a country. The strength of our position in a globally competitive environment largely depends on our collective efforts and determination to work harmoniously with each other. In the words of Henry Ford: “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, and working together is success.” The role of government, local and national, on one hand is to set in place public policies and programs that would improve the ways of doing business. Infrastructure like airports, seaports, roads and bridges, and programs that address basic social issues like poverty, health, peace and order are as important as laws and ordinances that make doing business easy and without red tape. The private sector, on the other hand, must continue to explore new initiatives and new ventures, improve production through technology, invest in research and development, and implement better and cost-efficient marketing strategies. We, Filipinos, are not wanting of talents. We have shown that we could excel in any field – in arts, in sciences, and in almost every field of human endeavor. But we need to get our acts together. The success story of Singapore from being a third world to first world country comes to mind. With an area of only 699 square-kilometers – 499 times less than the area of the Philippines, and with very limited resources, Singapore now ranks among the world’s economic giants with an annual per capita income of $30,000. How did Singapore do it? The people of Singapore, consisting of Malays, Indians, and Chinese, have set racial, cultural and reli-gious differences aside, as the laid down public policies that are fair, that promote the values of hard work, adaptability and competitiveness. They took extraordinary efforts to survive, to be different, and to become united yet innovative, rugged yet adaptable. They did things better and cheaper than the neighboring coun-tries, and in the process achieved competitive advantage. By getting their acts together, they attained their vision to be a first world oasis in a third world region. Today, as ae celebrate the success of our men and women in Mindanao in business and entrepreneur-ship – we ask: What particular industry offers us the best opportunity to compete with other countries? The answer to that, to borrow the words of DOT Secretary Ramon Jimenez, is as easy as selling chicken joy. Across our 7,000 islands lie some of the world’s best beaches, surfing and dive sites in tropical setting. Our islands teem with natural, cultural and historical sites. Our people brim with warmth, friendliness, and hospitality. All these attributes, Mindanao has plenty of. All it takes is to properly harness these assets to transform them into a competitive advantage in tourism. Tourism ranks as the fourth largest contributor to the Philippines’ foreign earnings.. The top three are the semiconductors, overseas Filipino remittances, and business process outsourcing (BPO). Tourism receipts from inbound expenditures of foreign visitors from 2004 to 2009 expanded at an average of 7.96 percent from US$1.99 billion in 2004 to US$2.23 billion in 2009. Consequently, the share of tourism receipts to total exports in the economy grew at an annual average of 4.94 percent during the same period. These receipts have driven private and foreign investments in the accommodation, transportation, recreation, entertainment, and miscellaneous services sectors of the tourism industry. Yet there is more to tourism than foreign earnings. Tourism embraces a wide range of economic activities. It creates networks of different operations, from travel agencies to hotels, resorts and restaurants to adventure sports providers and food suppliers. This enables tourist centers to form complex and varied supply chains of goods and services, supporting a versatile labor market with a variety of jobs for tour guides, translators, cooks, cleaners, drivers, hotel managers, and other service sector workers. Many tourism jobs are flexible or seasonal and can be taken on in parallel with existing occupations, such as farming. This is the reason why, tourism development has been identified in the Philippine Development Plan of the present administration as one of the strategies to attain inclusive economic growth, generate jobs, and reduce poverty. We at the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority or TIEZA is committed to work hand in hand with both the private sector and the local government units. In our board, sits the Chairman of the Mindanao Development Authority – which is an indication that tourism development in various parts of Mindanao identified in the National Tourism Development Plan as part of the tourism development areas or TDAs ranks on top of our agenda. And we take this opportunity to invite the private sector of Mindanao, your business leaders, and entrepreneurs to take a closer look at the opportunities of the country’s tourism industry. Under Republic Act 9593, otherwise known as the Tourism Act of 2009, local and foreign investors, and even local government units, can now apply for the establishment of Tourism Enterprise Zones or TEZs. Once approved these TEZs can enjoy fiscal and non-fiscal incentives which are even better than those under the Export Processing Zones. We therefore encouraged you to take a closer look at this opportunity which we are certain could further boost the socioeconomic development of Mindanao. Rest assured, that we will extend to you every possible assistance within TIEZA’s authority to establish your tourism enterprise zones in various areas here in Mindanao. With the kind of entrepreneurial and business acumen which our awardees have exemplified, we are certain that Mindanao will not remain as a mere Land of Promise, but a land where dreams are successfully transformed into realities. To the awardees, congratulations, and I wish you all further success in your endeavors. Daghang salamat ug mabuhay ang tanang Mindanaoans!
