CAGAYAN de Oro City––Some 60 remaining prov-inces are going to be entered to the Registry System for Basic Sectors in Agriculture (RSBSA) starting September, this year.

RSBSA, is a project spearheaded by the De-partment of Budget and Management (DBM), in partnership with the De-partment of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Agricul-ture (DA), Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and National Statistics Of-fice (NSO).

It’s the 2nd and final stage of RSBSA, the first having been conducted on January 2-24, this year – involving the laborers/workers and fisherfolk sec-tors – according to DILG-10 Director Rene K. Bureos.

He said RSBSA is an initiative of the Good Gov-ernance and Anti Corrup-tion (GGAC) cluster of the national government, chaired by President Be-nigno Aquino III.

AGUSAN del Norte - Director Lilibeth A. Fama-cion of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG-13) has signed an agreement with other regional line agencies, signifying commitment to end child labor incidence, particularly in this province.

This is an offshoot of the reported existence of child laborers in Brgy. Bagang, Jabonga town, labeled as “Batang Kalabaw” character-ized by children pulling or dragging cut logs to desig-nated places where hauler trucks are stationed.

Ten identified “Batang Kalabaws” in said barangay, received educational sup-plies from the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE), recently

Director Famacion said, the prevalence of illegal log-ging in the region, notably in this province where the hasty source of money is the hauling of illegal logs, con-tributes to the occurrence of pervasive child labor.

DILG-13 commits to stop ‘child labor’ in Agusan Norte

“Many children, as young as seven years old regardless of gender, were victims of this kind of cruel activity and this will exacerbate the incidence of illiteracy, malnutrition and exploita-tion among children,” she

stated. Thus, there must be a

convergence of initiatives to put a stop to child-labor activities in this region, she added.

DILG focuses its sup-port on the formulation

of ordinances against child labor, and the creation and strengthening of the Baran-gay Council for the Protec-tion of Children (BCPC). (NCLM/Florian Faith Jr. P. Bayawa/DILG-13/PIA-Caraga/asf)

Dr. Adeluisa G. Siapno, Regional Executive Director (RED) of the DENR-12, said “we are now conducting a comprehensive evaluation on the operations of all hold-ers of mini-sawmill permits to determine whether they strictly complied with all the existing DENR laws, rules and regulations pertaining to sawmilling operations.”

Of the 13 sawmills, nine are in South Cotabato, three in Cotabato City and one in Sarangani Province.

Padlocked mini-sawmills in South Cotabato were Patwoods Processing Inc. of Surallah; Emerald Industries of Koronadal City as well as the sawmills owned by

Bukidnon Power Plant - I, KEGI-FIBECO inaugural ceremony, July 29, 2012.

QUEZON, Bukidnon––The First Bukidnon Electric Cooperative (Fibeco) and its partner, King Energy, Inc. (Kegi), launched its 3.2-megawatt (MW) bun-ker fueled power plant in Barangay Puntian here on Sunday (July 29, 2011).

The partnership was sealed after the Fibeco signed Contract for the Supply of Electric Energy (CSEE) with the Kegi on February 24, 2012.

The inaugural ceremony started with a thanksgiving mass, followed by the blessing of the 3.2MW power generation plant being constructed by Kegi.

After the blessing, the inaugural proper followed––and the raising of flags of Kegi and Fibeco, ribbon cutting, and the declaration of generation plant open-ing and official switch-on of the 3.2MW Bukidnon power plant 1.

The ceremony ended with the throwing of coins and candies by the incorporators.

Present at the inaugural ceremony were Director Regin D. Mordeno, Director Ricarte E. Salapang, Di-rector and Architect Raul L. Alkuino, Director Romeo Y. Pacanan, Director Felix G. Vergara Jr., and Engr. Renato S. Cortezano, General Manager.

Also present at the inaugural ceremony were Nonoy Laviña, Glenn Peduche and Valencia City Councilor Iko Alkuino.

Fibeco serves the franchise areas in the south, namely the City of Valencia and the municipalities of San Fernando, Maramag, Don Carlos, Pangantucan, Kalilangan, Quezon, Dangcagan, Kitaotao, Kibawe, Kadingilan and Damulog.

DENR shuts down13 sawmills in Region 12KORONADAL City, South Cotabato––Thirteen erring sawmills in Soccsksar-gen Regions have been padlocked by the operatives of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-12 for violations of environ-ment laws and regulations.

Manolito Landicho, Robi Magalaman, Lilit Delizo, Nieves Landicho, Marlon Cunanan, and Donato Ri-vera -- all in Tupi town.

Those in Cotabato City were Amacon Mini-Sawmill and Lumberyard, Arcela Mini-Sawmill and Lumber-yard, and Suralda Mini Saw-mill while that in Sarangani was Phela Resources Corp. of Maitum town.

Except for Amacon Mini-Sawmill and Lumberyards, which could not present proof of legal sources of logs, all of the wood processors had expired permits.

Forrester Larry Curias, technical staff of Dir. Siapno, explained that the padlocked

sawmills could resume busi-ness “once they have com-pleted requirements and have registered with DENR” but emphasized, “they have to prove that they have enough legal sources of logs to supply their operations for at least five years.”

Earlier, DENR Undersec-retary for Field Operations, Demetrio L. Ignacio, Jr. ordered the closure of all wood processing plants or sawmills without the re-quired legitimate sources of logs for a period of at least five years.

The requirement is pur-suant to Item 2.5, Section 2 of Executive Order No. 23 entitled “Declaring a Moratorium on the Cutting and Harvesting of Timber in the Natural and Residual Forests and Creating the Anti-Illegal Logging Task Force” issued on February 1, 2011 by President Benigno Simeon Aquino III.

Item 2.5, Sec. 2 of EO 23 states: “The DENR shall

close and not allow to op-erate all sawmills, veneer plants, and other wood processing plants who are unable to present proof of sustainable sources of legally cut logs for a period of at least five (5) years…”

During the first meeting between RED Siapno and reporters in South Cotabato and General Santos City on July 20, an official of the DENR-12 disclosed that along with the on-going confiscation of illegally cut logs and forest products, they have also stepped up monitoring of sawmills, lumber dealers and simi-lar business against entry and use of illegally-sourced products.

A report from DENR-12 indicated that a total of 60,15 board feet of illegal lumber, flitches and other forest products -- valued at P1.28 million -- have been confiscated across Region 12 from January 1 until July 5 this year.

Sleeping with(political) enemies

THE administration’s Liberal Party in Cagayan de Oro City and Misamis Oriental is as shaky as it came three years ago. One of Liberal Party’s in-herent defects is the ‘internal party’ conflict that tagged along with it until now. This internal conflict boils down to power sharing in the affairs of the government. The story of the ‘Balay Group’ and the ‘Samar Group’ still persist within the Liberal Party to this day. As LP’s party head President Benigno Aquino, III, ‘though never-care-less of the party’s political squabbling.

Aquino have distance himself from LP’s party con-flict. No, it does not mean that Aquino does not need a political party to back his leadership. Aquino has his own political party aptly described by the political op-position as ‘Kamag-anak, Kamag-aral, and Kabarilan’ (KKK). Where his mother the late President Corazon Aquino maintained the ‘Kamag-anak Inc.,’ the son, Pres. Aquino simply expanded with the coming in of ‘Kamag-aral and Kabarilan’ Inc. Nothing is wrong with that. After all, Aquino finds solace in the company of his own group than being with LP.

The above premise could be the undeclared reason why Aquino did not accommodate most certified LP candidates, especially those who lost in the 2010 elections, in his government. A year ago, LP party members could not but expressed dismay over Aquino’s cold treatment of them. Certainly, this frustration is shared not only in the corridors of power but also in the provincial level.

In Cagayan de Oro City, there were certified LP lead-ers who worked hard for Aquino’s presidential bid for two reasons. One, they were LP members. Two, they got assurance of getting appointment to juicy positions once Aquino was elected. Of course, pledges such as this one is not new in politics. When political wannabes pretend-ing to be ‘neutral’ personalities launched the signature campaign to recall incumbent City Mayor Vicente Emano, volunteers bragged of getting appointments to positions once Emano was out of City Hall. Indeed, there is noth-ing new to political lies in the guise of promises. The LP employed such double talked in the 2010 presidential elections in Cagayan de Oro, too.

The sad part of the story is when Aquino allowed

THINK a minute.There was a rich English

Baron named Fitzgerald who had only one child, a son.

Fitzgerald’s only son was the love and pride of his parents. But when the son was just a boy, his mother died. He and his father became even closer.

Meantime, Fitzgerald had become much richer. He collected very expensive, valuable paintings by the famous artists of the world.

Then, just two years after losing his wife, Fitzgerald’s son became sick and died as a young boy.

Before Fitzgerald him-self died years later, he carefully wrote his will and instructions on how his riches were to be handled.

He wanted an auction to sell all of his valuable

paintings. They were worth millions of dollars, so many rich people from all over Europe came to the auction.

Among all the valuable paintings, however, was 1 cheap, poor quality painting by an unknown local artist.

It was a painting of Fitzgerald’s only son.

Fitzgerald had ordered that this painting of his son be sold first before any of the other expensive paintings.

Yet, because it was of

such poor quality no one wanted to buy it.

Finally, an old servant of Fitzgerald who had known the son and loved him of-fered to buy the ugly paint-ing for only a couple of dollars.

Then, before they con-tinued to sell all the expen-sive, valuable paintings, the lawyer read out loud from Fitzgerald’s will.

Fitzgerald had written: “Whoever buys the paint-ing of my son also gets

everything else that I own. The auction is now over.” That old servant who truly loved Fitzgerald’s son got everything!

All of Fitzgerald’s valu-able art, money, houses, land, the servant got it all!

Remember, God said that if we love and live for Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, then we also will become God’s children and have all that God has to give us.

But you and I must choose to love Jesus and live His way every day, instead of our own way.

Jesus said that’s the only way you and I can have it all. So why not become God’s son or daughter today?

Simply ask Jesus to take full charge of your heart and way of living, for the rest of your life.

Just Think a Minute.

THE month of July wit-nessed several events of sig-nificant contributions to the development of the nation, such as the Blood Donor’s Month which was focused on the theme “Be A Hero, Give Blood” and the Nutri-tion Month which revolved around the theme “Pagkain ng Gulay Ugaliin,Araw-araw Itong Ihain.”

Such celebrations proved the relevance of the say-ing “Homo homini Deus est.” This supreme practical maxim fits very well the purpose driven life, because the purpose of life is not primarily “to be happy––but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.” And this, indeed, defines the lives of our blood donors who unselfishly donate blood so that others may have another chance to live.

Normin’s silent heroes

Banking history

Statistically speaking, “Five to ten minutes of your time plus 350 ml. of your blood equals one life saved.” And this equation could be supported by some statisti-cal data which would tell us that in this time of the year last year some 9,352 bags or units of blood had been served to 6,076 patients in Misamis Oriental. These blood donors are NorMin’s silent heroes , and to them we give our salute and re-spect.

On the other hand, our mothers who have end-lessly labored “carrying the

babies inside their wombs for nine months, in their arms for three years, and in their hearts until the day they die,” are also silent heroes who deserve the right to the information, care and support to protect their health and wellbeing before, during and after pregnancy, as well as that of their newborn babies well into childhood.

While we acknowledge the nutritional value of veg-etables to one’s health, we should not forget the value of breastfeeding. It may be recalled that last year’s

Nutrition Month centered on the theme ” Isulong ang Breastfeeding Tsek-Tama, Sapat, Eklsusibo.”

The aim was a very noble one, because it encouraged correct breastfeeding prac-tices nationwide. It taught mothers the significance of skin-to-skin contact of mother and baby im-mediately after birth and breastfeeding within the first hour of life.

It sought to encourage mothers that a small amount of breast milk is sufficient for baby during the first week, and that with fre-quent feeding the supply will eventually increase.

More important was the aspect on exclusive feeding which means giving only breast milk to baby dur-ing the first six months. However, the findings of the 2011 Family Health

Second of four parts

YESTERDAY, we discussed the growth of banking in the Philippines during the Spanish and American colonial periods. In this second article of our four-part series on the history of banking in the country, we will examine how banking developed during the Com-monwealth era and under the Philippine Republic.

During the Common-wealth period (1935-1946), more foreign bank branches, such as the Bank of Taiwan and the Nederlandsche In-dische Handelsbanks, were established in the Philip-pines.

In 1939, the government created the Agricultural and Industrial Bank to absorb the functions of the National

Loan and Investment Board and to harness government resources.

The Philippine Bank of Communications, reported to be the first bank with genuine Filipino private capital, was also established during this period. However, it was temporarily closed at the outbreak of the Second World War.

According to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ “The General Banking Law An-notated: Book 2” (our main

source of these historical data), only Filipino-owned and Japanese banks were allowed to operate during World War II.

The Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, the HSBC, and the National City Bank of New York were all treated as enemy properties and placed under liquidation by the Japanese Military Government.

On the other hand, the Nampo Kaihatsu Kinko (or the Southern Development

Bank) opened a Manila branch in 1942 and acted as the Japanese govern-ment’s fiscal agent in the Philippines.

After the liberation, all domestic banks that oper-ated during the Japanese occupation were unable to reopen because the greater part of their assets consisted of worthless Japanese war notes, bonds, and obliga-tions of the Japanese-spon-sored republic, and balances with Japanese banks.

In June 1945, Executive Order No. 48 paved the way for the reopening of some banks.

The first license to re-open was granted to the National City Bank of New York in June, 1945. In the same year, other foreign

PLEASE ACCEPT MY HEARTFELT GREETINGS ON THE OCCASION OF THE 62ND ADLAW HONG BUTUAN. IT IS DURING THIS OCCASION THAT ALL BUTUANONS SHOULD COME AND UNITE TO THANK THE ALMIGHTY FOR THE BLESSINGS HE HAS SHOWERED UPON US. IT IS BUT FITTING AND PROPER TOO THAT WE SHARE THE EXCESS THAT WE HAVE TO THE POOR AND THE LESS FORTUNATE BUTUANONS. BE ASSURED THAT THIS, YOUR FELLOW BUTUANON, WILL WORK AND STRIVE FOR THE WELL-BEING OF ALL AND FOR THE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND PROGRESS OF OUR COMMUNITY AS ENVISIONED BY THE LATE CONGRESSMAN MARCOS M. CALO WHO AUTHORED THE CITY CHARTER OF BUTUAN FOR WHICH WE ARE NOW CELEBRATING. HAPPY 62ND ADLAW HONG BUTUAN!

TO forgive and not forget can sound very vengeful but in reality this is what most of us practice and for those who forget, they deserve to stumble all over again.

For businessmen this concept of not forgetting is essential to their success. While we can blunder and fall flat on our face, experiencing the consequences; one should never forget the mistakes in the first place.

To be fooled once is to be human, to be fooled twice is sheer stupidity but the third time around, you become the idiot!

The issue of whether a president should have said repeatedly “to forgive is okay but to forget?” can be iffy. Assuming his Catholic faith the phrasing should have been different.

The president’s extemporaneous assertions can be a

BALIANGAO, Misamis Occidental––The Protected Area, Wildlife and Coastal Zone Management System (PAWCZMS)-10 has cited the Baliangao protected landscape and seascape (BPLS) for documenting almost 1,500 living organisms and wildlife in its area.

“This is the first of such project done in the region and we are very glad that you have taken the initiative to do so,” Belen O. Daba, regional technical director of

PAWCZMS, Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-10, said during a recent meeting of the BLPS board.

The board is composed of the BLPS protected area (PA) superintendent, village chieftains of barangays Landing, Misom, Tugas, and Sinian of Baliangao, chief of the municipal police office, municipal environment and natural resources officer, municipal agricultural office, principal of the Baliangao School of Fisheries, and a representative of the Katumanan People’s Organization.

The documentation was done by the biodiversity monitoring system (BMS) of BPLS that conducted the identification of more than 20 types of mangrove trees dominated by the bacauan and other spe-cies, namely, genus avicennia, bruguiera, ceriops, lumnitzera, sonneratia, xylocarpus, and the nypa.

Also documented were living organisms and wildlife inside the BPLS including the following trees: bakauan-lalaki, bakauan-babae and bakauan-bato, 200 each;

positive virtue and likewise retarded.The problem here is when he speaks as a person, this

is of no issue but as the president can be stupefying.In this specific case it is understood to be vengeful. Past

presidents have found it in their hearts to be compassion-ate if only to lure the sentiments of the people.

Their authority has the power to excuse if not pardon criminals. To be vengeful can be terminal. And as percep-tions have it, his family is vengeful; considering the late former President Cory, who went after the Marcos’s and their wealth creating no less the PCGG with the singular intention of running after the former presidents’ family.

Curiously enough an obvious parallel commission cre-ated by Pnoy did not pass the litmus test of the Supreme Court with GMA in mind.

On another issue, I am impressed Pnoy has taken on the Catholic Church with his support for the RH bill.

The controversy rages in the House of Representatives with endless debates and deliberations and yet it has yet

to be put to the numbers game congress is all about.The assumption that Pnoy controls the House, con-

sidering the issues with the Corona impeachment will be phenomenal.

Can he actually succeed and the Representatives com-mitting suicide right before their reelection?

To challenge economic and political issues is one thing but to take on the Church all together in a predominantly Catholic country is another.

The elections for the incumbents are a necessity and an investment while they sit in power. To lose is unacceptable.

Unlawful as the practice is, to give monies and to feed their constituents’ is tradition as soon as they represent the people. This expense is treated as an investment for reelection sourced from “we shall not mention” to make them endearing to the people.

The poor contenders who seek office, some of whom may actually be the true and competent leaders they

DRIVEN by its continu-ous thrust of delivering best-value mobile services to Filipinos, Sun Cellular introduces its newest post-paid offering for as low as P299 per month.

As the lowest-rated reg-ular plan of Sun Cellular, the Sun Plan 299 offers unlimited Sun texts, 30

LEADING independent Phoenix Petroleum Philippines, Inc. bagged the award for Best Booth under Non-Food 54-square meter category in the recent Franchise Asia Philippines 2012. The awarding was held on July 29, 2012 at the SMX Conven-tion Center, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City.

Asia’s biggest franchise event, Franchise Asia Philippines, rec-ognized Phoenix Petroleum “for excellence in brand promotion and franchisee recruitment through booth design and aesthetics.”

The 54-square meter Phoenix Petroleum booth was designed like a retail station and featured modern interactive technology.

LED televisions played corporate ads and videos, while iPads loaded

with audio-visual media such as station photos, company magazines, and videos were stationed on all corners of the booth. The lighted floor contributed to the booth’s modern effect.

Phoenix lubricants were also dis-played, as well as a life-size replica of world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, Phoenix Petroleum dealer and endorser.

The Phoenix Petroleum booth and hundreds more were exhibited during the three-day franchise expo held from July 27 to 29, 2012 at the SMX Convention Center.

The entries were judged by We-Link President and Official Represen-tative of Messe Frankfurt and Hon-gkong Trade Development Council Wilbert Novero, PhilExport Region

3 Executive Director Maluo Balano, and Davao Ecocrafts President Baby Montemayor.

Criteria for judging consisted of visual impact, audience response, over-all branding, and creativity and originality.

The Franchise Asia Philippines 2012 was organized by the Philippine Franchise Association, the pioneer and biggest franchise association in the Philippines.

Phoenix Petroleum Philippines is the leading independent oil com-pany with an expanding network of operations nationwide.

It is engaged in the business of trading refined petroleum products and lubricants, operation of oil depots and storage facilities, and allied services.

Sun Cellular introduces its most affordable postpaid plan at 299minutes of Sun calls and 200 texts to other networks.

Subscribers also get to choose between an Android MyPhone A618 and a full touch Alcatel 720D for the complimentary handset of the plan.

“This new plan has been created to offer best-value access to the convenience

and practicality of a Sun Postpaid line. Given the dynamic mix of unlim-ited intra-network texts and bucket call and text services, users may now connect with their loved ones in more ways and as often as they’d want to, without having to spend much,” says Ricky Peña,

Senior Vice President for Postpaid, Broadband, New Business and Marketing Services of Sun Cellular.

Further to this regular plan offering, Peña said that Sun Postpaid is keen on adding more premium to its services through its Power Up Add-on plans.

From bucket texts to

other networks, discounted calls and texts to Smart and Talk ‘n Text, data services, special IDD rates and un-limited landline calls, Sun Postpaid introduces more services to cater to the growing demands of its subscribers.

“Given the changing and more diverse needs of

today’s mobile users, we always strive to go beyond the conventions and create practical innovations for our customers to enjoy more mobile capabilities and more savings, hence, getting more for less,” Peña adds.

Sun Cellular is a mem-ber of the PLDT Group.

BUTUAN City––Butuan City, gateway to the resource-rich Caraga region of Northern Mindanao, is hosting the 21st Mindanao Business Conference (MinBizCon), on August 2 to 4 at the Almont Hotel Inland Resort.

Organized by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) and the Butuan Chamber of Com-merce, with support from the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), through its Growth with Equity in Mindanao (GEM) Program, the “MinBizCon” is the main multi-sectoral platform for fostering competitive-ness and accelerating growth in Mindanao.

The MinBizCon is also supported by Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Department of Tourism, Department of Agriculture, and other partners.

“We are looking forward to hosting this event and drawing attention to investment in Butuan City and surrounding provinces,” said Mayor Ferdinand Amante Jr., who cited several on-going business developments in Butuan, including the construction of a mall and 150-room hotel by a nationwide chain, as well as a golf course.

“This is a good time for public-private investment. We are finalizing build-operate-transfer (BOT) schemes for upgrading the ports in Nasipit and Masao, and have worked with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), other government agencies and the local private sector to open up 10,000 hectares of land for development,” Amante said.

DTI Regional Director Brielgio Pagaran said that in addition to its tourism and mining industries, the Caraga region around Butuan City has strong competi-tive advantages in agriculture.

“Among the newer agri-businesses, we have herbal processing plant for the export market that uses local raw materials, and ventures in sago flour and nipa sap sugar production, to name just a few,” Pagaran said.

The MinBizCon will have plenary sessions on current public-private initiatives in the energy sector in Caraga as well as on improved economic integration within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), through the Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA).

The conference is also an opportunity for a broad range of stakeholders to speak with one voice on the region’s most pressing economic policy concerns. The highlight of the conference is the presentation of the annual Mindanao Business Policy Agenda to President Benigno Aquino III.

The formulation of the policy recommendations con-tained in the Agenda was initiated through broad-based regional consultations held earlier this year by PCCI in the cities of Zamboanga, Cagayan de Oro and General Santos, in collaboration with MinDA and USAID.

At a series of roundtable discussions held in Manila in early July, cabinet officials and private sector repre-sentatives met to fine-tune recommendations aimed at improving key business sectors, and to draft appropriate government responses.

The MinBizCon is expected to draw 300 participants, including senior business leaders, members of chambers of commerce, government policymakers, investors and foreign trading partners.

Butuan City, which has five weekly round-trip com-mercial flights to Manila and three to Cebu, has become known in recent years as a Mindanao convention destina-tion, with accommodations for more than 2,800 guests.

Conference participants will have the opportunity to tour the city’s main attractions, which include the Butuan National Museum housing ancient Asian artifacts, and the Balangay Shrine. They will also have a chance to visit the on-going archaeological excavation of another centuries-old balangay boat used in Southeast Asian trade routes.

Candidates

Candidate number 7 Maria Leslie Angelina “Lez” Ghan

Candidate number 6 Juriel “Yeng-Yeng” Origenes Valledor

Candidate number 6 is Juriel Origenes “Yeng-Y e n g ” V a l l e d o r o f Barangay Kauswagan, born on August 17, 1991.

Yeng-yeng is a BS Tourism Management student at the Liceo de Cagayan University; her hobbies include playing the guitar and cooking. Her favor i te sport i s badminton.

J u r i e l c o n s i d e r s modeling, tour guiding, singing, dancing (dance sport) as her special set of skills and talents.

“Physically, I am an athletic person because I ’m into badminton. Emotionally, I am a very sensitive type of person. I am also very religious and adventurous… I believe I have the personality to represent the city in promoting its tourism industry.”

Candidate number 7 is Maria Leslie Angelina “Lez” Ghan of Barangay Carmen, born on October 18, 1992 in Cebu City.

Lez studied at the

Xavier University –Ateneo de Cagayan in the Civil Engineering course.

Her hobbies include technical workshops, outdoor activities, trying di f ferent del icacies, dancing and modeling. Her favorite sports are swimming and chess.

She also considers the following as special skills: advanced college math, public speaking and composition writing.

“I am a fun loving person, that’s why I love trying new things. I am strongly opinionated, but I try my best to get the opinion of others. I can be soft and bubbly but I can also be firm and strong. I have a diverse sense of style, but over-all I’m a laidback girl who just loves to dress up. My friends and family are very important to me but I know I am not afraid to get what I want when no one can stop me… I want to serve the people of my city as a model and inspiration especially to women and children”.

Th e i n d e p e n d e n t filmmaking wave is just

soaring high and getting all the attention it needs to promote the craft. The NCCA’s Cinema Rehiyon Film Festival project, which I am also a product of, is now on its 4th leg and happens ever y Februar y during the Philippine Arts Month celebration.

Regional films from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao use their native dialect and we are already required to put in subtitles as there are foreigners who go to the festival and watch the films.

I ’ve recently read an ar t ic le that Pasay City representative Emi Calixto-Rubiano files a bill requiring English subtitles for each Philippine made film to help tourists and foreigners appreciate Philippine culture.

I have no problem with this bill, so now both mainstream and independent films have to subtitle. The problem really may arise from the mainstream as they are not used to subtitling, as for us guerrilla and independent filmmakers – we are used to it.

T h e m a i n s t r e a m e r s may dislike the thought of putting in subs on their “masterpiece” as this may distract the Filipino audience into reading the English subs.

In the independent f i l m m a k i n g s ce n e, we have no choice but to sub because we use our local

PH bill to require films to put subtitles

dialects, an advantage f o r u s M i n d a n a o a n s w h o u n d e r s t a n d b o t h Cebuano and Tagalog, but then again when we watch Kapangpangan or Zamboanga films –errr, subs please.

"(By adding subtitles,) we are offering our foreign guests not only the opportunity to have a glimpse of what we can offer in terms of entertainment, but also the window to showcase our culture and some of our tourists spots as may be shown in the film," ~ Representative Emi Calixto-Rubiano

With this thought, I think it’s a good idea but maybe selective as there are mainstream films that are just “popcorn” flicks – the Pinoy audiences may be annoyed by reading the subs from time to time.

The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Public Information.

Well at least if our foreigner friends decide to watch a Pinoy film with us, we don’t have to translate. There’s also one thing I’m concerned of – will the translations (subtitles) be accurate and grammatically correct? It should be, otherwise it will be like the pirated dvds’ subtitling most of the time… also sometimes, the subs don’t match the dialogues.

So, who wants to watch subtitled Gerald and Sarah flicks? Raise your feet!

Survey reveals that only 27 percent of all mothers practice exclusive breast-feeding in the Philippines.

Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended up to 6 months of age, with contin-ued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods up to two years of age or beyond.

Statistics show that for exclusive breastfeeding, CAR tops in the entire Phil-ippines with 49.2 percent, followed by Region 2 with 40.8 percent.

Region 10 has only 25.2 percent, while Region 4A registered the lowest with only 18.8 percent. These figures reflect an imperative need for a stronger advocacy to inform the mothers the importance of breastfeed-ing and to make them un-derstand that a baby who is being breastfed is most likely “to avoid the risk of malnutrition, infection and early grave.”

It is worth mentioning that a research on breast-feeding duration and aca-demic achievement at 10 years which used a cohort of 2900 women who were enrolled at 18 weeks’ ges-tation with 2868 live-born children showed that ten-year-old children who were predominantly breastfed for 6 months or longer in infancy had higher academic scores than children who were breastfed for less than 6 months (Oddy et al, 2010)

These are but few statis-tics, but the reverberation of their echoing implications speak louder than words can convey.

Banking...from page 6

banks such as the Char-tered Bank of India, Austra-lia, and China, HSBC, and Nederlandsche Indische Handelsbanks were like-wise granted the license to reopen.

In 1947, a branch of the Bank of America, NT & SA (Bank of America) of San Francisco, California, was allowed to establish a branch in Manila. The following year, the Bank of America absorbed the assets and liabilities of the local branch of the Nederlandsche Indische Handelsbanks.

In 1949, when the Cen-tral Bank of the Philippines started its operations, the banking system consisted of seven commercial banks, three thrift banks, the sole government specialized bank, the Agricultural and Industrial Bank, and seven foreign bank branches.

In the next two install-ments of this series, we will discuss the financial innova-tions that were introduced in the Philippines (divided into three main episodes):

* Banking innovations prior to the 1990s.

* Institutional changes in the 1990s: classified into for-eign exchange liberalization, financial liberalization, and the passage of the General Banking Law of 2000.

Waterbird species - their number and common names - were also documented, as follows: chestnut manikkin (maya), 40; Philippine glossy starling (kulansiyang), 40; common egret, 25; olive-backed sunbird (tamsi), 25, black-naped oriol (antoli-haw), 15, and black-spotted dove (tukmo), 5.

Exequiel Barillo, pro-tected area superintendent, said the documentation was done using the transect walk method of collecting a detailed data of the different resources present within the BMS site by brisk-walking at around 5:30 a.m., when most of the wildlife are still present in their respective resting places, and ended at 8 a.m.

Another was the conduct of the field diary method, wherein the community monitoring group (CMG) observed the same resources that were present in the site but in a more detailed way, and incorporated this in their report of daily routine activities in the protected area.

Still another method was the focused group discus-sion, which was done by the BMS team, together with the CMG of barangays Landing, Misom, Tugas and Sinian, and the patrol guards assigned at the PA, where they presented their daily observations including their assessment on the habitat of the area.

LP to merge political parties opposed to his presi-dential bid in 2010. One could not see logic of such merger. The idea that the merger would make the administration LP stronger is farcical. Maybe, LP, NPC, and NP senatorial bets see the advantage of the merger in the national level. How-ever, in the local level, such merger is ridiculous!

A given example is the case of Gov. Oscar More-no of Misamis Oriental. Moreno was the Chair-man of former Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s Lakas-NUCD political party in the 2010 elections. Of course, Moreno’s opponents were the local LP candidates in the province and Cagayan de Oro City. Bringing Moreno and the original LP leaders together under the same political roof in the local level is preposterous. Like it or not, a political rift between Moreno and local LP leaders would not easily heal. React: [email protected]

They recovered from the suspect a pail containing dried marijuana leaves; a jewelry box with five sachets of methamphet-amine hydrochloride or “shabu”; several drug paraphernalia; and a rifle grenade.

Sansalain was the 9th sus-pected drug courier they arrested since they launched on July 4 the “war against illegal drugs”. So far, he was the “biggest” of those they apprehended, Cabico added.

“We’ve long planned the ar-rest of this suspect. In fact, last week, we sought search warrant from the court to really get him. It took us sometime because we have yet to study carefully the terrain,” stressed Cabico.

Sansalain’s hideout is located in a forested village in this city.

Cabico said charges of viola-tion of Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act or Republic Act 9165 and illegal possession of an explosive would be filed against the suspect today.

The arrest of Sansalain was spearheaded by operatives of the Kidapawan City PNP, led by Cabico, and the elements of the Cotabato Public Safety Company of the Cotabato Provincial Police Office as “blocking forces.

Light Flyweight Filipino boxer Mark Anthony

T h i s c a m e i n dominating fashion when Barriga’s speed and counterpunching, despi te h i s height disadvantage over Italian Manuel Cappai in the first round of the boxing competitions Tuesday, July 31.

Outpointing Cappai, the 19-year-old Barriga landed left straights and combination as well as counterpunching all throughout the fight to score 17-7 over the taller Italian.

Barriga knocks down Cappai in the f i rst round and stings the Italian with a powerful left to the face that the referee gave Cappai a standing eight count later on.

with Barriga having a commanding lead at 5-2.

Barriga continues the barrage of punches on Cappai in the second round, forcing the Italian to punch wildly as he moved from side to side, dancing to evade the wild swings. The right-handed Italian tried to confuse the Filipino southpaw by mimicking his stance, this was to no avail though as Cappai continued to absorb p u n i s h m e n t f r o m Barriga, who finished the round with a 9-4 lead.

Barriga, is dubbed by his fans and fellow boxers as Little Pacman because his fighting style resembles that of Manny Pacquiao.

Barriga now remains the lone hope of the Philippines to get that elusive Olympic gold medal.
