M’ nao researchDAVAO City -- A consortium of local academicians and scholars is urged to take on the role of a think tank that will help steer Mindanao’s journey to holistic development. Sixteen members of the Mindanao Studies Consortium Foundation Inc. (MSCFI) were exhorted by the Mindanao De-velopment Authority (MinDA) to venture out of their institu-tions and build their mark in research and policy studies in the region. “Issues in Mindanao are integrated and call for inte-grated solutions that require lenses from different skills and expertise. Being an institution of thinkers, planners, experts, and social architects, MSCFI can take the lead,” MinDA Ex-ecutive Director Janet Lopoz said in a message delivered for MinDA chair Sec. Luwalhati Antonino.

Shell fuelDAVAO City– The increasing demand of consumers for high performing fuel will be met following the launching Wednesday here by Shell of the unique gasoline and diesel fuels designed to im-prove performance and to act instantly on engines. Fuel scientist of Shell Global Solutions Mae Ascan said Shell recognized the evolving needs of custom-ers on their driving experi-ence with the Shell V-Power Nitro+Premium Fuels. She said using this prod-uct is cost effective as it will provide high performance as well as maintain the engine well. It has stronger cleaning power as it contains more of the detergent designed and cleans up deposits that can affect engine performance.

At 3, BusinessWeek continues to trailblaze local newspapering

BusinessWeek starts here.

EXACTLY three years ago today, June 8, what was the largely viewed as another obscure and uncharted weekly paper came out the streets of Cagayan de Oro from a narrow (3X2 meters) office space located at the Ground Floor of FICCO building in Lapasan. But not too many have realized then that this paper, BusinessWeek Mindanao, is carved out of a clear

vision of setting a new trend in the local newspapering industry. When BusinessWeek Mindanao was first conceived, its publisher Mr. Dante Sudaria, just like others, had some sort of reservation real-izing that many local papers have died down as fast as they emerged. Much more that the paper covers only business developments and reports apart from crimes and

political intrigues. Skeptics viewed the idea as noth-ing but mere figment of imagination. Experience in the local newspaper industry not only in Cagayan de Oro but anywhere in the country had it that if the paper is not supported by an well-oiled network, or by moneyed owners, it will eventually bite the dust, so to speak.

STAKEHOLDERS in the construction in-dustry are seeing ro-

bust growth in the country in the next two years amid improved economic condi-tions and the continued inflow of remittances from overseas workers, a re-search firm last week said. “The prospects for 2012 are promising and 2013 looks very good notwithstanding external factors due to a good macroeconomic en-vironment,” Tzion Asher, Philippine country manager for BCI Asia, said in a statement. The research firm is also certain that private construction perfor-mance in the regions, particularly Mindanao’s Cagayan de Oro and Cotabato, and Iloilo in Visayas will also improve tremendously. In Cagayan de Oro City alone, major projects are underway with the construction of two hotels at the Limketkai Center, the Ayala’s Centrio Mall along Recto Ave. and a hotel in nearby Agora junction, and scores high-rise residential

POEA warns publicvs illegal recruiters

By ROBERT E. ROPEROS, Contributor

BUTUAN City – The Philippine Overseas Em-ployment Administration (POEA) in Caraga region has reiterated their call to the public against illegal recruiters.

tered address of the agency. If recruitment is conducted in the province, check if the agency has a provincial recruitment authority. POEA also pointed out not pay more than the allowed placement fee. It should be equivalent to one-month sal-ary, exclusive of documenta-tion and processing costs. Also, applicants are ad-vised not pay any placement fee unless they have a valid employment contract and an offi cial receipt. Further, the agency advised them (applicant) not to be enticed by ads or brochures requiring you to reply to a Post Offi ce (P.O.) Box, and to enclose payment for processing of papers. Furthermore, POEA re-minded the applicants not to deal with training centers and travel agencies, which promise overseas employment; not to accept a tourist visa, and not to deal with fi xers.

According to POEA-Caraga Regional Director Marietta Bellotindos, illegal recruitment is still proliferat-ing at present. She thus reminded those who wish to work abroad to be vigilant on the actions undertaken by these illegal recruiters. The off icia l a lso said should they have knowledge of illegal recruiters in any place in the region; they should get in touch with their office. Bellotindos assured that government authorities will do everything to stop these illegal activities. She further stressed that to avoid being victimized by these recruiters, interested

applicants must verify the legality of the recruitment agencies’ operation through their offi ce. The director said they have a complete list of legal recruitment agencies for ref-erence. Meanwhile, POEA has come up with other tips to prevent illegal recruitment. First, the agency empha-sized not to apply at recruit-ment agencies not licensed by POEA. Second, the public is also urged not to deal with licensed agencies without job orders, with any person who is not an authorized representative of a licensed agency, and not to transact business outside the regis-

Davao water firm workers oppose proposed Angara BillDAVAO City – Workers of the Davao City Water Dis-trict (DCWD) led by Nag-kahiusang Mamumuo sa DCWD (NAMADACWAD) on Wednesday registered strong opposition against the proposed Angara Bill (House Bill 2997), saying enactment of the measure would lead to the full privatization of all water districts in the country. Th e bill, as proposed by Sen. Edgardo Angara, is an initiative of the Aquino ad-ministration under its “Pri-vate-Public-Partnership” or PPP schemes. Under the direct supervision and discretion of

the Offi ce of the President, a superbody called the Water and Sanitation Regulatory Au-thority (WSRA) will manage and decide on all concerns of the entire water and sanita-tion industry of the country. Th e authority will include irrigation, agriculture, fi sher-ies, power generation, indus-trial, livestock, recreational and fl ood management. “What we are against of the Bill, is the fact that the eventual privatization of all water districts in the country. Through the Angara Bill, water will turn into a profi t-driven commodity rather

than a basic social service, said Rudy Aranjuez, chair of NAMADACWAD. Aranjuez said there is no truth to the pro-people reforms that the proponents of the bill are pronouncing. “Th e outright participa-tion of the private sector in the industry, capitalists to be specifi c, will inevitably cost the people higher water rates and inaccessible irrigation for poor farms,” he said. He raised fears that about 20,000 water district workers nationwide will be jobless when the proposed bill is enacted into a law.

NEDA endorses Siargao’s P610M ADP investmentSURIGAO del Norte – The office of the National Eco-nomic Development Au-thority (NEDA) has finally submitted the Area Develop-ment Plan (ADP) of Siargao Island worth P610 million for approval to the office of President Benigno S. Aquino III. NEDA-13 Regional Direc-tor Carmencita Cochingco confirmed this to Gover-nor Sol Matugas during a meeting held recently at the

Governor’s Office, Provincial Capitol, Surigao City. The ADP of Siargao Island was formulated with techni-cal and financial assistance from NEDA during the visit of NEDA’s Director General Cayetano Paderanga to the province last year. The ADP total enabling investment worth P610 mil-lion is part of the six growth areas identified in the coun-try, under the Growth Area Program (GAP) of the Na-

tional Government. The GAP facilitates the achievement of the Presi-dent’s national goal of in-clusive growth and poverty reduction by advancing less developed but resources rich areas and transforming them into globally competitive tourism, agro-industrial and financial economies. Under the GAP, a Pro-gram Management Office will be established in all six program areas identified.

business community has welcomed the paper with much interest, or perhaps by sheer curiosity, evi-denced by increasing revenues, not just locally-sourced, but from national advertising agencies. From then on, BusinessWeek Mindanao has metamorphosed into a by-word in the local busi-ness community. But publisher Mr. Sudaria did not rest on the laurels of his paper’s success. He then ventured into putting up another local daily apart from BusinessWeek Mindanao. Th en the Mindanao Daily News was born, and later the vernacular, Daily Bisaya. And the rest is history. His-tory, in so short a time. Consistent to its philosophy, Mr. Sudaria wanted the communi-ties to perceive this as their paper, and use it as the fi rst port of call for reader generated content. “As well as the editorial con-tent, we felt it was vital to get the support for the new title from the small local businesses. Aft er all, advertising revenue will help increase the resources to grow the paper, and give us the ability to carry more content,” he said. As BusinessWeek Mindanao found its niche in the Class A and B readers, it will continue to trailblaze community news-papering as an eff ective vehicle for development, especially in Mindanao.

ZEST AIRWAYS, Inc. (Zest Air) plans to offer f lights to Australia, documents from the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) showed, making it yet another budget carrier to announce expansion plans. Zest Air asked regulators for 1,546 weekly seat entitle-ments to the neighboring continent, which it plans to use next year, a filing showed. “Notice is hereby given that Zest Airways has filed with the CAB a petition for designation as Philippine of-ficial carrier and allocation of entitlements between the Philippines and Australia dated March 13, 2009, at total of 1,546 weekly seats under Route A to be operated in the summer schedules of 2013 utilizing its Airbus A330-300,” the CAB docu-ment read. Ma. Alben S.L. Moro, chief of CAB’s hearing and examiners division, said that hearing has been tentatively rescheduled to June 13 from June 5 following Zest Air’s request. CAB documents further showed that the country has an existing 5,000 seat alloca-tion for Australia-Route A. Already, 3,194 seat allo-cations per week have been a l located to f lag carrier Philippine Airlines while a 1,260-weekly seat allocation have been given to Cebu Pa-cific, bringing the distributed seat entitlements to 4,454. The country, however,

has an unlimited seat en-titlements for the Australia-Route B that allows carriers to mount f lights from any point in the country except Manila and Clark to any point in Australia except Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. This comes as other bud-get carriers were yesterday found to be planning f lights to more destinations. “Notice is hereby given that AirAsia, Inc. has filed with CAB a petition for real-location of entitlements to Hong Kong a total of 1,428 seat entitlements previously allocated to Zest Airways (1,250 week ly seats) and Seair,” a separate CAB fil-ing showed. Air Asia already has 1,036 seat entitlements per week for Hong Kong, but Marianne B. Hontiveros, the airline’s chief executive officer, said that AirAsia Philippines wants

two daily flights to the former British colony. “I want to run a second daily f light and need seats, which are un-uti lized by those airlines,” Ms. Honti-veros said But Alfredo A. Herrera, Zest Air’s chief for sales and marketing, said in a text message yesterday: “We are not giving up our allocation, and we are in fact working out schedules.” Seair, for its part, is set to expand its domestic des-tinations to seven locations: Cebu, Davao, Tacloban, Iloilo, Puerto Princesa, Kalibo and Bacolod. Meanwhile, Cebu Air, Inc., which operates budget carrier Cebu Pacific, said it signed a $280 million contract with Rolls-Royce which will provide long-term service support for its Trent 700 engines on up to eight Airbus A330 aircraft.

MORE A&E PASSERS: Fifty eight Alternative Learning System (ALS) graduates in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental were conferred recently with a high school diploma after passing the National Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) Test. This year’s passers constitute the 4th batch of graduates in an on-going ALS Program which is jointly undertaken by LGU Villanueva, DepEd, and energy-firm STEAG State Power Inc (SPI).

Aboitiz ties up with UK firm for biomass plantsHOLDING FIRM Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc. has inked a partnership with a London-based firm for the construction of $150 million worth of factories in the Philippines that will extract transportation fuel from organic waste.

agreement that will be soon signed by the two parties, the company said. Earlier, the Aboitiz Eq-uity’s swine production and animal feeds unit, Pilmico Animal Nutrition Corp. (for-merly Fil-Am Foods, Inc.) had announced plans for a biogas system on its Tarlac farm facilities. Last month, food and beverage firm Universal Ro-bina Corp. similarly signaled its entry into biogas after its shareholders approved changing the company’s in-corporation articles to allow it to venture into ethanol fuel production, which in turn will complement Universal Robina’s existing sugar busi-ness.

“Aboitiz Equity signed a memorandum of agreement with Gazasia Ltd. to formal-ize their intention to jointly develop, construct, and oper-ate plants that will convert organic waste material into carbon-neutral, sustainable and renewable fuel for ve-hicles in the form of liquid biomethane,” a disclosure to the local bourse yesterday showed. The deal was forged in London during an official visit by President Benigno S. C. Aquino III, and will entail

the creation of a joint-venture firm called Asea Gaz Corp., a statement from Malacanang read. Under the agreement, Gazasia -- a waste-to-fuel solutions firm -- will offer technical expertise, special-ized equipment, and project management while Aboitiz Equity will provide core project funding and regional market access in the country, the disclosure added. Profit-sharing scheme and the plant locations have yet to be finalized in a definitive

SSS may surpass goal for investments in 2012SOCIAL Security System (SSS) may exceed the target it set for its investments on expectations that economic growth will remain robust, a top offi cial said last week. Edgar Solilapsi, SSS execu-tive vice president for invest-ments, told reporters in an interview that the state-run pension fund for the private sector exceeded expectations in the fi rst quarter in terms of earnings of its equity and fi xed-income placements. “We had a very good fi rst quarter and I think the second quarter will be good also. I think we will exceed the target for this year of about P23 billion to P24 billion in investment income,” he said. He added that the energy and banking sectors remain attractive for SSS.

Solilapsi declined to give specifi c fi gures on its fi rst-quarter performance. He said a third of its P300-billion to P320-billion invest-ment portfolio is allocated to equities while a signifi cant portion is allocated to govern-ment securities and corporate debt as well as property assets. Th e benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index rose 16.8 percent to 5,107.73 in the fi rst quarter on optimism that Philippine companies will continue to outperform amid weak conditions in the developed markets. Th e government reported last week that the economy expanded by a better-than-expected 6.4 percent in the three months to March, aided by growth in the services sector and a recovery in manufacturing.

Solilapsi said the fund has no plans to invest abroad while noting that the Philip-pine economy continues to have “advantages,” such as relatively cheap labor, a robust business-process outsourcing sector and remittances from overseas Filipinos. “These create a f low of money. When there is money in the economy there is de-mand for products like food, electronics and housing,” he said. SSS also owns large stakes in listed fi rms like Philex Min-ing Corp., where it owns about 20 percent. Solilapsi said the company is not in any talks to sell its stake in the miner, which is eff ectively controlled by the Manuel V. Pangilinan-led First Pacifi c Co. Ltd.

Optimism for a better economy, however, declined by eight points from Sep-tember’s +22 (35 percent optimistic, 14 percent pes-simistic).

It said +35 score was recorded in balance Luzon, unchanged from three months earlier. The scores, meanwhile, fell in the Visayas to a “fair” +17 from September’s “high” +24 and by one point to +25, still “high,” in Mindanao.

THINK a minute… Remember Christopher Columbus, the great explorer from Europe? He planned to sail across the Atlantic ocean to find Asia, but failed. However, instead of Asia he found the New World, now called America. And you know the rest of the story. Of course, America is not as nice as Asia, but at least Columbus’ discovery was not a total loss. It’s funny how life’s disappointments and surprises often can still turn out well. Louis Pasteur was looking for a way to keep wine from turning sour, but instead he found a way to kill all

the dangerous bacteria in milk. Today this process of pasteurization makes milk safe for us to drink. Willhelm Roentgen was working on a way to improve photography, but instead he found the way to make X-Rays, which has enabled doctors to help even save millions of lives. Alexander Bell tried to improve the telegraph, but instead he ended up invent-ing the telephone. How many times have you really wanted something and did not get it, but instead you ended up getting something even better? So in the end, you were very happy and

thankful you did not get what you first thought you needed and wanted. Someone once sa id : “When God wants to curse us, He gives us what we ask for.” You see, sometimes we want things that are not good for us and in the end will make us very unhappy. So it is because God loves us that He does not give us what we want, but instead He surprises us by giving us something better! Don’t forget, since God created you and me, He knows much better than we do what will really make us happy and healthy. This is why asking Him to take

control of your life and help you live His way every day is not only the right thing to do, it’s the smartest thing you can do—for your own happiness and safety. Just think a minute…

TROUBLE in the sky has saddled the local airline industry with complaints of f light delays and cancel-lations. It has been through our experience that the de-teriorating airlines services at the height of the summer month and of late during weather disturbance have hit the limelight. We wit-nessed passengers and airline ground personnel alterca-tion over f light delays and some incidents even caused a big fist fight among social heavy weights in the airport lounge as a result of baggage mishandling. The Civil Aeronautics Board which is the governing body that regulates airline careers in the Philippines should consider some amend-ments to the air careers third party liability in case of passenger’s miscarriage or failure of airlines to perform service to passengers and ticket holders which has a confirmed f light booking which includes among others, f light delays, cancellations and baggage off loading. There has to be rules and awards of damages where

all airlines in the Philippines should follow. The Philippine’s air carriers have expanded in the last 9 years with new players coming up to chal-lenge the low cost and no frills airlines in the business. Government has encouraged the emergence of new inves-tors and acquisitions of new aircrafts to the opening of more domestic and inter-national routes which has recently added air traffic and airport congestions to our premier airports in the national capital region long been suffering from airport dysfunction. With the introduction of the airlines promo and ticket sales, travel by air has expanded to a wider range of the air travelers market. The airlines periodic promotional ticket sales results to over booking and shortage of seats and aircraft overweight are endangering safety. It has also caused overcrowding of air traffic lanes and airport runways leading to f light delays. The airline industry has universal rules governed by

the International Air Travel Association (IATA) where all governments of the world are signatories and are bound in the Geneva Convention to observed passengers pro-tection and upholding the rights of air travelers for compensation as a result of accidents or reckless im-prudence resulting to loss of lives, injuries or losses through f light delays and baggage mishandling. New policies must be back up by laws of public convenience in order to re-store foreign confidence in the stability of air travel in this country which we need to overhaul if we need to at-tract more visitors to come and have some fun in the Philippines. In many airports of our country, we have witnessed and seen on national televi-sion screens incidents of pas-senger’s outcry and outburst over delayed f lights lasting for many hours causing dis-comfort to older passengers and young travelling chil-dren. Many are left to fend for themselves the hunger and exhaustions setting on

the airport lounges. No food or hotel accommodation to offer since according to airline counter personnel, they are “low cost and budget airlines” and cannot absorb the cost of meals and hotel accommodation? Low cost must have been misinterpreted to the point of sacrificing service and air carrier responsibilities conveyed in their certificates or license of public convey-ance. Former PAL President, Avellino Zapanta, defined low cost airlines as the “abil-ity to manage cost through the deployment of new air-crafts with less maintenance cost and more turn-around f lights to haul more pas-

NOW that the Coronavela had bid farewell in our tubes, the government, more in particular, our lawmakers can confront more pressing issues that have continuous-ly beset the country today.

The passing into law of the reproductive health bill has remained elusive as it is still enveloped with issues of morality. Thus, the tug-of-war between the church and the state has stirred various reactions. However, this issue should be put at rest anytime soon because teenage pregnancy is becoming a major chal-lenge for the government in the health department.

Statistics show that births born to teenage moth-ers in Northern Mindanao in 2009 is recorded at 11, 309 (5.2% of the country’s total) placing the region at

9th place among regions in the country with most num-ber of births with teenage mothers. Total births born to teenage mothers in the country was recorded at 195,662 or approximately 11.2 percent of the total births in 2009.

Northern Mindanao is on the ninth spot next to the Bicol Region with 5.5 percent and is higher than 0.7 percentage point to Cagayan Valley. Top three spots were grabbed by the National Capital Region (14.6%), CALABARZON (14.3%) and Central Luzon (12.2%).

Most alarming to this figure is that 56 of the births born to teenage mothers in the region were of mothers aging below 15 years old. This figure is a disturbing fact since these teen-age

mothers do not know yet the dynamics of motherhood and caring for a child espe-cially that they themselves still need it. More than ten thousand births were born to fifteen to nineteen year – old mothers.

Births to young women also posed high health risks both for the child and the mother. This might lead to maternal deaths because the body is not yet ready for giving birth. They are at increased risk for complica-tions, such as premature la-bor and other consequences. On the other hand, children born to teenage mothers are more likely to suffer social, and emotional problems. Effects of teenage pregnancy are not just pointed towards the health of the mother and the baby; these teens are far more likely to end up poor

and have their children grow up in poverty.

Not only that, young women who gave birth loses opportunities like finishing their education and might not find a decent job. Teen

Unparalleld Banking Infrastructurein MindanaoTHE year 2011 saw further expansion of ONB’s reach and accessibility in the countryside as it opened another branch and deployed ten more PeraAgad ATMs in Mindanao. By end of 2011, the number of ONB branches reached a total of 82, with new branches in Matina, Davao City. New Corella, Davao del Norte and Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat. Old branches in Guiwan, Cabadbaran, Surigao and Libungan were transferred to new and spacious offices, and the branches in Bansalan and Monkayo were upgraded for more modern appeal. The installation of ten Per-

aAgad ATMs in Mindanao and in the island of Semirara, Antique resulted to a total number of 114 PeraAgad ATMs. The opening of a new branch, simultaneous structural renovations and the continuous deployment of ATMs signify ONB’s commitment to provide the countryside wider access to modern banking services complete with innovative facilities and a dedicated workforce. ONB’s unequalled infrastructure in Mindanao is highly attrib-utable to the Bank’s unwavering focus on its brand of “inclusive banking”, going to unbanked and underbanked places where other banks would not dare go and enabling these places to ex-perience e-banking products and services. The year 2012 shall witness the establishment of more branches, deployment of more electronic channels such as ATM, POS and Internet Banking, introduction of Micro Banking Offices (MBO) and most importantly, the launching of ONB Center, a 7-storey building which will house the ONB Head Office staff of more than 300 professionals.

Pantawid Pamilya capacitates parents in Northern MindanaoBy APIPA P. BAGUMBARAN, Contributor

HUNDREDS of parent-leaders of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program are now ready to facilitate their fellow grantees for barangay-based sessions after undergoing empowerment as community volunteer leaders in Northern Mindanao.

Guinsiliban, and Catarman of Camiguin province; and Tangub City in Misamis Oc-cidental underwent series of trainings using Modular Ses-sion Guide for Family Devel-opment Session (MSG-FDS), a modular tool designed to empower frontline develop-ment workers and community volunteer leaders. The separate and simul-taneous trainings aim to enhance parental skills of

Belonging to the Pro-gram’s Set 5 areas, the vol-unteer parent-leaders from the towns of Maramag and Manolo Fortich an the cities

of Malaybalay and Valencia, all of Bukidnon province; Jasaan, Villanueva, Tagoloan, and Opol municipalities of Misamis Oriental; Mambajao,

the parent-beneficiaries in improving their family life. Arnold Jarn Ford Buhisan, training specialist of Panta-wid Pamilya, disclosed that the capacity building and empowerment of the parent-beneficiaries are essential elements of the program to ensure its effectiveness, cost eff iciency, relevance and sustainability. Buhisan added the volun-teers will plan and facilitate

discussions on personal mat-ters, family and community issues along with effective parenting, home manage-ment, gender and devel-opment, children’s rights and protection, and relevant community matters. For her part, Atty. Araceli F. Solamillo, regional director of DSWD 10, said the train-ing and the program per se is one way of upholding the total family development, an important factor in improv-ing human capital towards the fulfillment of Pantawid Pamilya objectives. As the family is the most

basic support systems of its member, she explained that the trainings are geared towards an improved deliv-ery of health and education services to the children in order to attain social and economic development. Studies show that peo-ple in strong families are healthier, happier, better adjusted and more produc-tive members of the society. Aside from the parent–leaders, the Municipal Links, LGU Links, and selected Municipa l Inter-Agency Partners also attended the seminars.

Gulayan sa Paaralan 2012 beneficiaries identifiedTHE Department of Agri-culture in Northern Min-danao (DA-10) through its Crops Division renewed its partnership with the De-partment of Education-10 (DepEd-10), Department of Social Welfare and De-velopment-10 (DSWD-10), local government units, and ot her government agencies to continue the implementation and the advocacy of the Agri-Pinoy Gulayan sa Paaralan Proj-ect in a meeting conducted last May 24, this city. Primarily, Agri-Pinoy Gulayan sa Paaralan Proj-ect aims to address prob-lems on malnutrition by teaching the students the values of eating healthy food through sustaining the supplementary feeding program of DepEd. Chil-dren are taught on how to plant and grow vegetables through natural farming and to replicate it at home to ensure sustainability. The meeting tackled the amended guidelines of the implementation as stipulated in Executive Or-

der No. 15, series of 2011; criteria and composition of evaluators for the best school garden contest; sta-tus and accomplishments for the 2011 beneficiaries of the project; and the 2012 target beneficiaries. The five-year program aims to cover 42,076 school gardens by 2016. As of this writing, 574 benef iciary schools are confirmed to have ben-ef ited from the project in Region 10, while the other 342 is yet to be con-firmed by the provinces of Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental. Meanwhile, for 2012, it is expected that 650 schools in the region will benefit from the project by receiv ing vegetable seeds and planting ma-terials. Focal persons in each schools and districts will also undergo training prior to implementation of the program. Furthermore, the re-cipients of the project are a lso encouraged to establish their own seed

banking facility to sustain the implementation of the project and since it’s also one of the criteria for the district level search for best school garden contest. A representative from the DepEd Div ision of Misamis Occidental raised an issue that there are secondary schools identi-fied as beneficiary of the program where agriculture is not even offered as a subject and normally takes most of the extra time of students. DA-10 Crops Division OIC Chief Janen T. Parade-ro said that there should be a written documentation submitted to the higher management so that they can hear it out and find ways to address it to make the implementation better. Regional Reports Of-ficer for Agri-Pinoy Gu-layan sa Paaralan Gleen A. Janubas announced that

DA will also distribute five kilos of worms and vermi bed for each of the 316 beneficiary school from Calendar Year (CY) 2011 and 400 schools for CY 2012 beneficiaries in the region. Training will also be conducted prior to the distribution of materials for vermiculture. It has been agreed dur-ing the meeting that focal persons should dissemi-nate the information to the heads of target school beneficiaries so that they could prepare the area intended for the project. Moreover, to continu-ally monitor the develop-ment of the project focal persons are also tasked to submit a monthly report with regard to the dis-tribution of inputs and production data of existing gardens every end of the month to DA-Regiona l Field Office 10.

The ICT industry here has been boasting in marketing and presentation programs in the Philippines and abroad that the city has a glut of employable graduates in the many universities in the city. Other needs would be easily provided by the outlying cities and provinces. This city of more than 1.4 million residents has been tagged as the next wave city, after Metro Manila, Cebu and Clark. He said other foreign IT companies have been tap-ping local programmers for their skill and experience in knowledge-based operations. Two local IT companies also won in the “pitching competition,” or business potential of cyber products, initiated by a group from Silicon Valley, California, the global cyber center.

A recovery in the global economy will also positively impact private construction, particularly through remit-tances, he said. “One of the interesting things about the residential segment is how closely aligned it is with OFW remittances because housing is one of the top investment priorities for OFWs,” Asher noted. Data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas show that remittances totaled $4.84 bil-lion in the fi rst quarter, up 5.4% from year-ago levels. Th e central bank projects a 5% growth for the full-year.
