Two business establish-ments have been the recent targets of robbery suspects amid the recent peace and order council meeting to address the rising cases of criminalities here.

Robbers barged into the newly-opened Torque Mobile Phones and Tablets early Tuesday morning and another group said to be armed with .45 caliber pistol held up salesladies of R Kelly Pizza at around 7 p.m.

The suspects used chil-dren to bore a hole at the store ceiling and carted away new cellphones on display amounting to about P270,000 while the other group who posed as cus-tomers held up the victims

UnbelievableLast week, an armed

group went inside Noli-Fe Store purportedly to rob but failed to get anything in the safely-sealed establishment except for what the police claimed as the AK 47 of the store guard.

Many have expressed doubt about the initial po-lice report that the botched robbery incident was the handiwork of New People’s Army rebels. Reports has it that responding policemen engaged in a brief firefight in their hot pursuit operation.

Filipinos gradually adopt cremation

CREMATION is becoming popular among Filipinos, a retired prelate said.

Retired Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz said many people are choosing cremation over burying their loved ones in the cemetery is because it is more convenient and less expensive.

“It is becoming more convenient to go to a colum-barium, where the ashes are deposited, instead of going to the cemetery with the traffic,” he said.

In the cemetery, the problem is also space.“There is less and less space that’s why they are now

trying to put up this multi-leveled burial sites up to 14 layers, but how do you visit your dead in the 14th floor if there are no stairs?” he added.

Cruz noted that cremation is also cheaper and easier.‘When the body is transferred from one country to

the other, instead of the whole body being transferred, it’s easier and much cheaper to transfer ashes,” he said.

The popularity of cremation, he said, is also the reason why some churches now have columbariums.

However, he said that cremation is not popular es-pecially among Filipino Catholic prelates.

Cruz said that a bishop is usually interred in the burial ground of the cathedral of a diocese.

“It’s a very established custom that in all cathedral churches there’s a burial ground for bishops at the back of the altar and that is where they are placed,” said the prelate.

However, not all bishops are buried in the burial ground of a diocese since some prefer to be buried in the cemetery of the religious order where they belong, he said.

DAVAO del Norte––The Davao del Norte Police Pro-vincial Office (DNPPO) and local officials here are confident that election in the province will be peaceful.

Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC) chairperson Governor Rodolfo del Rosario said the province has always been violence-free during

Law enforcers, local execs expect peaceful elections

election and they hope to maintain that status for the 2013 election.

“There are no election hotspots in the province as of now although we have some areas of concern,” he said.

Police Sr. Supt. Edgardo Wycoco said that a total of 273 polling places have been established out of the

223 total barangays in the province.

A total of 160 polling places will be handled by the Philippine National Police (PNP) while the other 113 polling places will be han-dled by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

Provincial Election Su-pervisor Atty. Gay Asun-cion-Enumerables said the

Commission on Elections (Comelec) will officially kick off the campaign sea-son on February 12, 2013 for national candidates and on March 29, 2013 for local candidates.

However, this early, she has been receiving reports and complaints about pre-mature campaigning by some candidates.

DAVAO del Norte––The National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) here have cautioned people from using the term “pangayao,” or tribal war.

General Lysandro A. Suerte, Commander of the 1003rd Brigade, said people are quick to label even the simplest conflicts involv-ing indigenous people as a “pangayao.

“People should be very careful when using this term because it is very seldom for pangayao to happen among

Local officials warned using tribal

word ‘pangayao’the lumads,” he said.

Suerte said quarrels or misunderstandings between two families are not the same as “pangayao” or tribal war.

He said a “pangayao” is declared when two tribes are at war which very seldom happens in the area because they have ways to settle their misunderstandings.

Section 15 of Republic Act 8371 or the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act rec-ognizes the right of the Indigenous Peoples to use their own justice system in resolving conflicts among themselves.

GENERAL Santos City––The government of Japan plans to expand its assistance program in nearby Tupi town in South Cotabato to further build up local conservation and protection initiatives for the area’s famed tarsiers.

Tupi Mayor Reynaldo Tamayo said on Tuesday a team from the Japanese embassy in Manila visited the town earlier this month to evaluate possible grants for the area’s eco-cultural tourism and tarsier conservation programs.

He said the embassy specifically made an area appraisal for a proposed eco-cultural tourism development project submitted by the United States-based conservation group Endangered Species International (ESI).

ESI, through its president Dr. Pierre Fidenci, has been working with the municipal government and other local stakeholders for the conservation and protection of the tarsiers and other wildlife species within the

ZAMBOANGA City––A New People’s Army (NPA) rebel surrendered to the military in Misamis Occidental, an army official said.

Capt. Alberto Caber, spokesperson of the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, identified the NPA rebel as Talas Sayas a.k.a ‘Ka Toring’ and ‘Ka Bimbo.’

Caber said that Sayas surrendered Monday to the Army’s 55th Infantry Battalion in Barangay Gala, Tudela, Misamis Occidental.

COTABATO City––A fire of still unknown origin gutted down close to 100 houses in a thickly populated resi-dential district here Tuesday afternoon.

Fire Marshall Supt. Guia-

mad Adam, city fire chief, said fire fighters were yet to determine what triggered the fire that started at 3:30 p.m. in Purok Sampaloc, Barangay Bagua Mother, Cotabato City.

While the fire was rag-ing, a series of explosions occurred, prompting fire-fighters to move away.

Firearms and bullets kept inside houses on fire could be sources of explosions,

observers said.Adam said no one was

hurt in the hour-long fire, the second to hit Barangay Bagua this year. Fire officials initially placed the damage at more than 10 million.

Ltd. of Japan, together with the Panasonic Group of companies in the Philippines continues to contribute to nation building through qual-ity education as another batch of deserving Fili-pino professionals were nominated to receive scholarship grants dur-ing the 2013 Panasonic Scholarship awarding ceremony held recently.

During the event, the certificates were pre-sented to the nominees by the Commission on Higher Education exec-utive director IV Atty. Julito D. Vitriolo, Japan Information and Cul-tural Center of the Em-bassy of Japan director Kiyoshi Takeuchi, Pana-sonic Scholarship Co. Ltd. of Japan president Kazuhiro Kawano, and Panasonic Scholarship (Philippines) chairman and Panasonic Manu-

The electorates create ‘political dynasty’SENATOR Meriam Defensor Santiago has filed a bill prohibiting ‘political dynasty’ in the country. The bill in-tends to deter political dynasty to take place in the national level. Moves had also snowballed to apply the measure in the local political fronts. This, after the debate on the prohibition of political dynasty shimmered. Will Congress approve it?

Ambitious politicians, who could not level up with strong political adversaries, are rearing for the im-mediate passage of the bill. Perhaps, the passage of the bill would give them a chance to win against established political opponents. Is this the reason why some local politicians are pushing the inclusion of the localities in the coverage of the bill?

At any rate, this corner has gut feelings that the pro-posed ‘anti-dynasty bill’ would simply ends up in the dustbin. It is because political dynasty is non-existent in the country. The fact that the sons and daughters of politicians are into politics does not mean political dynasty.

Dynasty means ‘a succession of rulers related to the same family.’ To put it simply, under a dynasty, the rul-ing family appoints their successor without the election. This means that there is no instant where the link of a

Cris Diaz

family, governing a country or province, is broken along the way. In other words, dynasty is broken once another ruler, apart from being a member of the same family, governs the state. Obviously, electing the same official in the Philippines for three consecutive terms does not constitute dynasty.

Besides, candidates win an election because people believed that they could deliver what the common good expect of them. More often, elected officials passed on their integrity to their siblings and other members of the family.

The electorates are keen observers of records of elected officials. An iota of doubt in the manner an elected official exercise his powers would be costly. The electorates would simply shun any member of the family who would run in subsequent polls.

Congresswoman Cynthia Villar was right in saying that if a dynasty is present in any part of the country; it means that the people there trust the members of the family as their leaders. The people have the right to choose their leaders. Being a member of the same family is not a primary criterion in electing rightful leaders. In the Philippines, the people create a semblance of politi-cal dynasty because they believed in members of same family with untrammeled political leadership. It was ‘frown,’ not ‘prawn.’ The Catholics ‘prawn’…. ( ‘When death comes, say ‘NO,’ Oct. 31, 2012, Wed. issue).

Editorial

THINK a minute.If you made a list of your

most important priorities, all the people and things that mean the most to you, what would be on your list?

You would probably have things like your fam-ily, job, schooling, friends and fun.

Now look at your life. Are you living your list?

How are you spending most of your time?

Do you really practice your priorities?

Someone said: “If we don’t actually practice our priorities, then they’re not really our priorities.”

Our actions and lifestyle speak much louder than our words. If we don’t live it, we don’t believe it.

How we spend our time shows what we love and care about.

We almost always find the time to do the things we really want to.

Unfortunately, our jobs, personal hobbies and plea-sures can become more important to us than they should.

Soon these pleasures and our profession can replace our most important

Live your list

SIMPLY because it can afford to be sitting pretty while the rest of Mindanao suffers from rotating brownouts is not reason enough for the Cagayan Electric Power and Light Company (CEPALCO) to take it easy.

Take the Davao Light and Power Co. (DLPC), for in-stance. Even if it has 87MW of standby power within its franchise area, nevertheless, DLPC is a responsible cor-porate citizen, and goes the extra mile to try to mobilize civil society involvement in helping conserve energy and use what’s available wisely.

Due to unplanned and unscheduled shutdowns of various power plants, the shortage of supply com-pared to demand daily has been varying between 200-400MW, or up to a third of the Mindanao Grid’s peak demand or time when energy use is greatest.

Through its Interrupt-ible Load Program, DLPC

was able to persuade its big power users like shopping malls and heavy and light industries to use their own generator and save the grid around 17MW when the grid curtailment was high, like last Oct. 22 when the grid shortage hit 480MW.

Besides the 17MW saved through the ILP, DLPC also contracted an additional 30MW from sister company Therma Marine, Inc. so its “virtual reserves” want up to over 134MW, or that amount saved for the Mindanao Grid for use by the less fortunate power cooperatives who couldn’t afford to own and operate their own embedded power generators.

In contrast, CEPALCO has been running its 42-MW Minergy diesel plant in Tablon full time in tan-dem with its 8MW mini hydroelectric power plant in Claveria ostensibly to

prevent Cagayan de Oro from suffering from ro-tating brownouts. But in so doing, it has also been crying all the way to the bank because while it’s true CEPALCO buys the power from Minergy, it’s the con-sumers who must pay for the extra charges of running the more expensive diesel fuel generated electricity, and isn’t it just sweet how Minergy is also owned by the same people who own Cepalco?

Why can’t CEPALCO follow the example of DLPC and implement its own vol-untary ILP within its fran-chise area? For sure it does not lack big time consumers who have their own genera-tors and can easily save even more than 17MW DLPC is saving with its program.

Even Iligan Light and Power Co. (ILPI) whose 15MW standby generator still has to operate is not suffering brownouts at the

moment because it has ne-gotiated with the industries within its area which are not currently operating to “bor-row” their allocations and prevent rotating brownouts within the city sans the extra charge of running diesel power plants at the expense of the consumers.

We hope CEPALCO pays more than lip service to its call to consumers within its area to conserve electricity because it’s not even coming out with public advisories to make consumers aware of the situation. Mind you, even if it pays for those ad-visories, consumers would still be paying for them but we’d rather pay less for me-dia advisories and play an active part in lessening our power bill without resorting to brownouts rather than let CEPALCO volunteer our pockets in paying higher electric bills in behalf of Minergy.

Sweetheart deals indeed!

priorities.They end up controlling

how we live and what we do in our free time during the evenings and weekends.

Maybe you realize today that you’re not really living your list.

You’re not spending most of your time on your most important priorities in life.

You’re not spending enough time on your mar-riage and children, other people, as well as your own personal character growth.

Most importantly, you’re not spending enough time on the most important person and priority in life: your own Creator Who has a great plan for your life.

But you can start chang-ing that today by asking Jesus Christ to forgive you for not putting Him first in your life.

Jesus promises that if you will put Him first in every relationship and area of your life, He will give you everything you need for the successful, satisfying life He created you to enjoy.

So it’s actually quite simple: Jesus IS your list.

MIRACLES | page 10

I WAS AMAZED by the presence of the Philippines researchers in IAMURE conference, in Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Center, on October 24-26, 2012 last week.

Mostly the participants or presenters were domi-nated by the researchers from Philippines.

Like in Singapore, five months ago, the same con-ference was also dominated by the Philippines, exactly in Kuala Lumpur, on May 26-29 this year too.

For t h e S i ng ap ore IAMURE conference, most of the awardees were also dominated by the Philip-pines researchers, even though it was held overseas for them.

In that event, I was so lucky because I was awarded by the IAMURE as the out-standing global diamond award and the outstanding global diamond research book authorship.

The awards given to the presenters were so varied. It can be the outstand-ing researcher of the par-ticipants’ country, such as Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia when it was held in Malaysia.

Besides that, the awards were also based on the global consideration so that the participant who de-served to get it was awarded as the outstanding global researcher and research book authorship.

Some of my colleagues

Filipinos researchers, the top of the top

From the left: dr. Genaro V. Japos, President of iamure, dr. djuwari, (indonesia); dr. Cristeta F. Gapuz; annsharina del Pero; Jezreel s. lopes, dan Jazel C. dulay; dr. Gilbert r. arce (Philippines), receiving awards, in marina Bay sands expo and Convention Center, singapore, on 24-26 October 2012.

Dr. Soni Harsono, Mrs. Nurul Hasanah, and Mr. Nanang Shonhaji, were awarded as Indonesian outstanding researchers in that event. However, it was still dominated by the great leading and young re-searchers from Philippines.

Dr. Gilbert R. Arce, the president of University of Northern, Vigan City, Phil-ippines was awarded as the outstanding global research leader and global diamond award for best university

research and development program.

Prof. Isidro T. Savillo, ISCOF, Philippines, was awarded as global diamond award for Scientific Dis-covery.

Dr. Roel Palo Anicas, Saudi Electronics and Homes Appliances Insti-tute, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was awarded as Global Diamond award for book authorship.

Still many other re-searchers were awarded

as the Outstanding Filipino Researchers such as Dr. Ernesto O. Golosino, Dr. Lforida U. Ursulom, and Mr. Brian Gil S. Sarinas. The most fascinating one is the student researchers from Philippines. These young, cute, and beauti-ful researchers were also warded as the global dia-mond award for student researchers 2012.

In general, mostly the awardees were dominated by the Filipinos both the

global and national out-standing researchers. This shows the Philippines’ en-thusiasm in doing research and it can be inferred that such endeavors reflect the whole nation of Filipinos. They are the top of the top.

THE canonization of Pedro Calungsod last Oct. 21, was a very special day to all Filipinos especially to young Pinoys, who welcomed the new Filipino saint.

Along with six other saints from other countries canonized in Rome on that day, devotees of Saint Pedro Calungsod looked back at the miracles the young saint has bestowed to them.

“I started to be a devotee of Saint Pedro Calungsod when he was still a beato. I believe that my faith in him cured my illness. He also cured my brother who had a nervous breakdown. Truly, he is miraculous,” Divina Cantalejo, a Calung-sod devotee, shared dur-ing the Oct. 27 episode of “Pagtuki”, the official radio program of Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI).

Cantalejo added that the canonization of the new saint has paved the way to a mass-based support of their barangay.

“ The youth should anchor on the values and principles of Saint Pedro Calungsod. Youth should devote their time serving the community and the church as what Calungsod did,” she said, adding that community services will help the youth not to be involved in vices.

BUTUAN CITY – The city council has passed a resolution to pave the way for the establishment of a Barangay Food Terminal to serve as distribution system foragricultural and marine products. City council spokes-person Eldie David an-nounced that the measure gave Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. authority to sign a memorandum of agreement with the

Caraga Regional Field Office of the Department of Agriculture and the Butuan City New Villages Cooperative for theimplementation of the project. Vice-Mayor Law-rence Lemuel Fortun said the barangay-based food depot will enable farmers to establish direct and effective means to offer their produce straight to consumers at low prices and encourage other ba-rangays to engage in the same venture.

The project is expected to generate more income on the part of the farmers and raise their standards of living, he said. “Surely, consumers will flock to the Barangay Food Terminal because of the freshness, quality and low prices of the farm products. In return, the farmers will be encouraged to pro-duce more, knowing their products will be safe at the terminal where buyers or consumers converge,”Fortun added.

DAVAO CITY -As the month of October draws to a close, the non-government orga-nization, Child Alert Mind-anao concludes its Children’s Month celebration. Billed as “Bata Atimanon Para sa Maayong Kaugmaon”, Child Alert once again affirms their advocacy to help develop the community mechanisms for child protection. Through the celebration of Children’s Month, the organization aims to raise awareness on child protection and showcase children’s skills and talents. The tripartite celebration comprising of the Art Showcase, Sports Strife, and the Culmination Festival accomplished the objectives of this year’s celebration. During the Art Showcase, the children participated in collage, slogan and poster making contests. The Sports Strife on the other hand consisted of vol-

leyball, basketball and Pinoy games such as jumping rope, Chinese garter, sack race, egg relay, flour-blowing and straw relay. This particular component of the Children’s Month celebration aims to develop camaraderie among the children, give them an opportunity to play, and enhance their potential in sports. The Culmination Festival was held last October 29 at the Toril District Hall grounds. The line up of activities in-cluded the parade, quizbowl, yell dance competition and theatrical presentation . More than 150 children coming from Child Alert’s five organized communities - Talomo, Dumoy, Crossing Bayabas, Toril Pobacion and Daliao, participated in the activities.

It was at the time when DENR Secreary Ramon JP Paje relieved 31 regional and provincial officials for fail-ing to curb illegal logging in eastern and southern Mindanao.

It was a brief tour-of-

“It’s unbelievable. The NPA will not be that des-perate to engage in criminal activities,” said a concerned citizen in his comment post-ed on the Facebook account of Agusanon Ako.

The spate of robbery incidents has drawn many businessmen to question the capability of the police to curb crimes that has haunted this progressive town for several months now.

Authorities are still fac-ing a blank wall on the progress of their investiga-tion and have yet to come up with any lead if ever those involved in the series of incidents are part of a known criminal syndicate groups.

DownplayLocal officials on their

part downplayed it as just normal incidents that usu-ally occur to the town’s inevitable progress espe-cially that it had rekindled its hopes of becoming a second component city of the province.

Their optimism was fu-eled by the commitment of second district congres-sional candidate Rodolfo “Ompong” Plaza to work for San Francisco cityhood if elected in Congress. Plaza was the author of the City-hood of Bayugan in the province’s first district dur-ing his second term.

Mayor Jenny de Asis said the crime incidents are just part of the continuing development of San Fran-cisco adding that similar cases in other towns are far more serious.

Talking to the local me-dia during the recent peace and order council meeting, de Asis has called on local residents to be more vigilant and report to the authori-ties at once if they observe some suspecting transients roaming around the town.

“If the cat is away, the mouse can play,” de Asis said matter-of-factly.

“What the tracker teams are doing is pursue a lead but so far, all oper-ations were negative,” De Lima said after a meet-ing with the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detec-tion Group, National Bureau of Investigation tracking teams.

The NBI is the Phil-ippines’ premier inves-tigating body and is an attached agency of the DOJ.

‘There was a proposal to increase the reward. Bakit walang takers, yung P2 million (reward) maliit pa ba ‘yon,’ De Lima asked.

The bad news though is that, there will be more Sandys to come, not only in the United States, but in many parts of the world as well, including here in the Philippines. And this is not only because of global warming, climate change, or environmental destruction.

To us who believe, there will be more rains and floods and wind, and more deaths and destruction coming from them, because Jesus Christ said so, in Matthew 7:24-27 of the Bible. Since to us Jesus is God and Savior, His warnings must be taken seriously because they are the very Word of God. And since He says rains, floods and winds will come, they will. No man can stop them from coming.

Miracles...from page 7

Mario Joel Baylosis, a devotee and Parish Pastoral Council member, said that the canonization of Saint Pedro Calungsod opened doors to thousands of dev-otees coming into their parish.

“The growing number of devotees coming from different places is one of the miracles that he showed to us. It is a miracle to see people who have strong faith in him,” he shared.

He disclosed that Saint Pedro Calungsod serves as a role model to Filipinos, especially to young Pinoys.

“Let us emulate the val-ues and goodness Calung-sod had. He has sacrificed everything for his Christian faith,” he said.

Saint Pedro Calungsod is a young Roman Catholic Filipino saint, a sacristan, and missionary catechist who suffered religious per-secution and martyrdom in Guam for a missionary work in 1672. He was killed at the age of 17.

Calungsod is the second Filipino declared a saint by the Roman Catholic Church after Saint Lorenzo Ruiz.

and love for all of mankind, Jesus nevertheless gave a way out of the death and destruction arising from those calamities. He said that those who listen to His Word and obey them will not be destroyed (see Mat-thew 7:24-25 once again).

Only those who listen to Him (and, by parity of reasoning, even those who do not listen to Him at all) and who do not obey Him in any way, will fall with a great crash---meaning, they will be destroyed, they will die a violent and harsh death from the coming rains, floods and winds (see Mat-thew 7:26-27).

Let us listen to His Word, and then obey His Word. Trans-lated in layman’s language, what this means is that, let us read the Bible, listen to those who truly preach the Word, and then obey. Let us stop our disobedience, let us renew our minds.

“Good governance is not a monopoly of DILG. It is now high time to move from being a provider to an enabler because we believe other institutions or agen-cies can also capacitate Local Government Units (LGUs)”, remarked DILG Asst. Re-gional Director Donald A. Seronay.

He also disclosed that the current water supply of the city comes from the Talomo-Lipadas wa-tershed.

“We have to define the

expanse of the watershed areas to protect the water sources of the city amid possible erosion and ex-pansion of commercial banana plantations,” Asi-bal said.

He said the survey will be conducted initially on river banks and buffer zones and areas classified as prone to landslides and soil erosion or highly- crit ical and hazardous by the Mines and Geosci-ences Bureau.

Asibal said the delin-eat ion act ivity wi l l be handled by two teams and will run for 64 days with a total budget at P1.6 Mil l ion with P800,000 coming f rom t he c i ty government and another P800,000 coming from the Davao City Water District, respectively.

He said the teams will compr is e of memb ers from the city government, DCWD, City-ENRO and a non-government orga-nization.

Asibal said that dur-ing the survey, identified boundaries will be marked accordingly so that the p eople may know t he extent of the watershed areas.

“ The implement ing rules and regulations of the Watershed Code clear-ly state that if an entity is given three years to vacate if it is situated within the highly critical area. Ba-nana firms if found to be within the watershed area must follow the modes of protecting the environ-ment as stipulated on their respective environment compliance certificate ,” he said.

THE Local Governance Regional Resource Center (LGRRC) through the De-partment of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Region 13 (CARAGA) in partnership with the Lo-cal Government Academy (LGA) conducted a Knowl-edge Management Audit for External Stakeholders in the

LGRRC-DILG 13 initiates regl knowledge management auditregion on October 23-24, 2012 at Goat2geder Hotel and Restaurant, Butuan City.

The Knowledge Man-agement (KM) Audit has determined the level of organizational KM readi-ness of the different sectors in the region through the KM Mapping Assessment Tool. Result showed that Caraga region has already achieved a refinement of the implementation of knowl-

edge management, which has continually evaluated for improvement.

This means that the re-gion has already a good to excellent organizational performance results and has achieved sustained trends over time.

This result was generated through the answers of par-ticipating institutions such as the regional line agencies, civil society organizations,

academe and other private sectors in the region.

The KM Audit was also aimed at reactivating the Multi-Stakeholder Advi-sory Committee (MSAC), the governing body of the LGRRC which was orga-nized last November 12, 2007.

The MSAC is a network of institutions collaborating together to leverage and share internal and external

knowledge for local gover-nance capacity building and performance excellence.

With MSAC, there will be a convergence of agen-cies and institutions in the region with different pro-grams that could be useful in the sharing of knowledge and expertise towards the road of more responsive local governance.

The LGRRC established at the DILG Regional Of-

fice has anchored capacity development, linkages, mul-timedia, information and knowledge, public education and citizenship development in the region.

With LGRRC as a dy-namic and interactive pro-gram, the DILG has become a knowledge centric organi-zation to provide communi-ties and local government units with excellence in

DAVAO City––The city government will conduct a survey to define clearly the expanse of watershed areas in the city, according to Christoper Asibal, forester and deputy chief of the City Environment and Natural Resources.

He told reporters that the survey is part of the imple-mentation of the Watershed Code, a policy that protects the drinking water source of the city.

The Watershed Protection, Conservation and Manage-ment Ordinance No. 0310-07of Davao City covers eight watersheds namely, Lasang, Sibulan-Sirawan, Panacan-Bunawan, Talomo-Lipadas, Davao River, Matina-Pangi, Tamugan-Panigan and Malagos.

Asibal said a survey has been set on November 5 in the Tamugan-Panigan watershed area where Barangay Tambobong will be the reference point.

He said similar survey will be conducted in the Talomo-Lipadas watershed area.

Asibal explained that based on previous studies, the Tamugan-Panigan watershed has the most sustainable water source for the city.

They opened their of-fices all over the country to accommodate the posting of stickers to all recognized and accredited helmets, imported or locally made said Cerila Inson, DTI senior economic specialist.

“On November and De-cember, we will devote our time mostly on calls on com-panies and establishments who use motorcycles mostly as their mobility service. As of the moment, we have already scheduled to inspect the motorcycle helmets of one of the biggest mining firms here and many other companies in order to make

sure that the helmets they are using are in accordance with the DTI standard and pass the quality requirements of the Philippine National Standard/United Nations Economic Commission for Europe,” Inson said.

Inson also said they have lists of motorcycle helmets producers and suppliers with corresponding brand of hel-mets that are accredited or recognized by the DTI. For those whose helmets are not listed in the accredited and recognized brands and producers, Inson still advised them to bring their helmets to the DTI office so that these will be included in the list of not yet accredited or recognized helmets at present.
