EXCELLENCE IN JOURNALISM, writ-ing or any other media skills does not happen overnight. In some cases, innate talent and natural flair may be consid-ered, but generally, it must come from education and experience. Appreciating assignments as writers, reporters and editors start at any given time. It could start with young minds, teenagers, the middle age group or even seniors. Love for writing, once ingrained in one’s self, never dies. A journalist never grow old, it won’t even fade away like soldiers, and it would never die even if massacred. For a journalist is an immortal icon, not a mere flesh. In this age of modern and hi-tech information, me-dia indulgence has become a preoccupation by almost anybody. Journalism has ceased to be an elitist preoc-cupation of sorts because it has become the interest of the whole populace. From a strict-watchdog genre, journalism has branched out into several information branches and advocacies. Thus, we now have civic, citizen, and community journalism, environmental and health journalism, government press organizations, and even military and rebel press corps. Not to be outdone, the political machineries have organized their own media bureaus. The business communities too have

FACTORIES/PAGE 9

THE Philippines is suffering from deg-radation of the natural environment. It has fifty major rivers now polluted due to abuse and neglect. Approximately two-thirds of the country’s original mangroves have been lost.

A hundred years ago, the Philippines had close to 22 million hectares of old growth forest. At the start of 2000, we had less than 600,000 hectares of old-growth forest left. In one century, we had cut down close to 97 percent of our original forest.

A study by the Environmental Scientists for Social Change (ESSC) reveals that we have systematically cut this forest down and that we have not stopped its destruction and that of its core biodiversity.

The International Rice Research In-stitute (IRRI) estimates that it takes over 4,000 liters of water to produce one kilo of rice. Because of the loss of forests, we

have less water since most of our fresh-water comes from watersheds found in forests. Therefore, loss of forests means loss of food.

More than 400 plant and animal spe-cies found in the Philippines are currently threatened with extinction, including the Philippine eagle, the tamaraw, and the dugong.

In 2001, 49 of the nation’s mammal species, 86 bird species, and 320 plant species were threatened with extinction. Endangered species in the Philippines include the monkey-eating eagle, Phil-ippine tarsier, tamaraw, four species of turtle (green sea, hawksbill, olive ridley, and leatherback), Philippines crocodile, sinarapan, and two species of butterflies. The Cebu warty pig, Panay flying fox, and Chapman’s fruit bat have become extinct. posted by imagine echo projects

Stakeholders push for classification of

Lake Lanao to Class ABy APIPA P. BAGUMBARAN of the Philippine Information Agency

MARAWI City––In yes-terday’s public hearing on the Lake Lanao water clas-sification move, both the provincial council of Lanao del Sur and the city council of Marawi City presented their respective resolutions asking for the classification of Lake Lanao into “Class A” freshwater.

Joining them were the civil society organizations and other stakeholders.

“Class A” freshwater can be a source of drinking wa-ter, provided they undergo necessary treatments to meet the National Stan-dards for Drinking Water (NSDW).

Both resolutions also called for the immediate implementation of all as-sociated interventions, including but not limited, to the rehabilitation of the

endemic species in the lake as the continuing degrada-tion of the lake will bring suffering to communities relying on its bounties.

Likewise, the Consor-tium of Bangsamoro Civil Society (CBCS) appealed for the restoration of the lake, as a source of drinking

water and ablution for the Maranao people.

A network of Moro civil society organizations, CBCS also moves for the improve-ment and protection of the lake against dumping of garbage and wastes.

The Lake Lanao water classification public hear-

ing was conducted by the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) in Region 10 to consult the public on the best usage potential of the lake.

Engr. Florencio Domin-guez Jr., chief of the Pollu-tion Control Division of the EMB-10, said the clas-sification is an important component of water quality management, which will guide what enforcement ac-tivities are to be undertaken by the national government and the local government units to protect the lake.

Meanwhile, Provincial Board Member Ansary Ma-ongco pledged to author an ordinance for municipali-ties to properly take care of their coastal areas once the water classification is finalized. (APB/PIA-10/[email protected])

ENVIRONMENT ADVOCATE GROUP GREENPEACE on Thursday called on the government to issue guidelines for industrial firms to publicly declare chemicals used in their products.

In an interview, Beau Baconguis, Toxics Campaigner for Greenpeace Southeast Asia, said the govern-ment has no exact data of the toxic chemicals and how much end up in waterways.

She said industrial firms submit their reports to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources but these are not available to the public.

“The information should be publicly available para maiwasan ang pollution. Kapag may access ang public, bumababa ang level of pollution kasi companies are aware that people participate in pollution monitoring,” she said.

While there is a law on the con-trol of the use of toxic substances

and hazardous wastes, Baconguis said the DENR still needs to come up with with implementing rules and regulations for the setting up of a pollutant disclosure system and implement more stringent water laws.

Baconguis said other countries have been successful in implementing the system which drastically reduced pollution in those areas.

ON September 15 this year, Cagayan de Oro City will witness a gathering of information technology (IT) ethusiasts, students, and computer-savvy users from all walks of life to celebrate one unique event – the Worldwide Software Freedom Day – which falls every 15th of September each year. This year’s venue host and primary organizer is the College of Computer Studies of Capitol Uni-versity, co-organized by A4 Mindanao Alliance – a Non-Governement Orga-nization (NGO), and the Cagayan de Oro IT Group – a Facebook-based com-munity of local information technology enthusiasts. The local Software Free-dom Day event will feature 5 expert speakers from various industries who will discuss topics on Free and Open Source Systems (FOSS), including software and hardware. Morning breakout ses-sions will be started with the talk “Linux for Fun or Profit” by Romar Mayer Micabalo, a System Admin-istrator and IT Consultant. This track will provide an overview about the Free and Open Source Com-munity, and will also be an introduction for par-ticipants into Linux and opensource. Simultaneously, Paul Michael Labis – a Software Engineeer for Social Media Ltd. - will talk about “Test-Driven Development”, a primer on the test-driven practices for software de-velopers and programmers, and will also feature various methodologies, techniques and tools for test-driven development. In the afternoon break-out sessions, Jonathan J. Doblados, an SLMIS System

Cagayan de Oro celebrates its biggest Software Freedom

Day celebration.. so far.Administrator at Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan, will talk about “Installing your own NginX Webserver”. Mr. Dobla-dos will walk participants through in deploying their own NginX webserver - a webserver that is gaining popularity as an alternative webserver to Apache HTTP in popular use worldwide. On the hardware side of things, Aryan Lowell C. Limjap, Capitol University’s own Network Engineer, will talk about “Internet of Things: Arduino and the Web”, showcasing the current state of open source hardware featur-ing the Arduino kit, a popular mainstay among opensource and embedded hardware designers and robotics enthusiasts. The afternoon sessions will be topped by a talk from Isauro Jose ‘Botp’ Peña on “Ruby Program-ming”. Mr. Peña is a re-nowed local Ruby Program-ming Guru and the Founder of the Philippine Ruby Users Group (PHRUG). Participants will be treated to some Ruby programming goodness. At the time of this writ-ing, Mr. Peña’s talk was still tentative. The organizers are looking forward to have Mr. Peña’s Ruby program-ming talk push through though. The Software Freedom Day will be celebrated in the city simultaneously with hundreds of other teams from around the world which can be seen by visiting the main website of the Soft-ware Freedom Day mother organization at http://www.softwarefreedomday.org.

A LAWMAKER has called for a congressional inquiry into the cancellation or suspension of classes during typhoons, flooding and other weather disturbances and calamities.

Under House Resolution 2692, Rep. Raymond Palatino (Party-list, Kabataan) said there is a need to assess the effectivity and impact of the existing guidelines on the cancellation or suspen-sion of classes during typhoons.

Palatino said the conflicting

policy on the suspension of classes in all levels creates problems for students and parents during typhoons and calamities.

“There is a need to improve the current system being used as basis for cancellation or suspen-sion for the benefit of students and schools in times of disasters,” Palatino said.

Palatino cited Republic Act 7722, which created the Com-mission on Higher Education (CHED) which explicitly stated

that the governance of higher education institutions shall be independent from the Depart-ment of Education on the issue of suspension of classes.

Under DepEd Order 28, classes in all public and private schools are automatically sus-pended without having to wait for an announcement when the Philippine Atmospheric, Geo-physical and Astronomical Ser-vices Administration (PAGASA) raises Signal No. 1 suspending

classes in preschools, Signal No. 2 suspending classes in preschools, elementary and secondary levels and Signal No. 3 suspending classes in all levels.

The DepEd Order also stated that in the absence of storm sig-nals, the agency allows localized school suspension by heads of local government units (LGUs).

CHED Memorandum Order 15 also automatically suspends classes in higher education dur-ing Signal No. 3 and also allows

localized suspensions based on the situation in which schools find themselves in during disasters.

On the other hand, President Aquino signed Executive Order 66 which said that in the absence of a typhoon signal warning from PAGASA, suspension of classes may be implemented by the LGUs.

EO 66 also prescribes that announcements on class suspen-sion should be made not

I’VE BEEN A PUBLIC TEACHER for almost 13 years and I have this problem on how to teach multiplication that would be fun to my pupils. It is not enough to memorize each tables. There were sev-eral pupils still unable to recall rapidly the multiplication facts. There is a need to improve pupils’ mathematical under-standing.

A tablet is a kind of mobile computers, usually having a touchscreen or pen-enabled interface. I found out through browsing that it has a handful of application avail-able for kids and have been designed for classroom use. Of course I have to be wi-fi connected to be able to install the applications. I installed the “Edwin’s Multiplication“ and introduced it to the children. It is very easy to use. In this app you can choose 10 or 20 questions. The question will flash on the screen and the

INNOVATIVE TEACHING:using tablet in remedial

teaching in multiplication

children will select the correct answer from the options. It gives the total correct and wrong answer after each set of questions and I recorded their results.

My Pupils Loved the Tablet: Aside from the newness of the device, my pupils were so excited for the remedial class in Math with what the tablet could do. They were so enjoyed for they like the tickling sound when they point the correct answer and buzzer sound when they point the wrong answer. Pupils study multiplica-tion because they preferred to have more tickling sounds rather than buzzer sounds. I had to instruct them to form a line so that everybody can participate. I wish I could have more tablets and more time with the device because there are many educational application not only Math but for all subjects. Advertorial

THINK a minute.There was a man who

thought he was going crazy, so he went to the doctor for an expert opinion.

The doctor examined the man and told him: “I have to agree with you. You’re crazy.”

But the man got angry and said: “I want a second opinion!”

So the doctor said, “OK, you’re ugly too.”

Sometimes we don’t want to hear the facts.

A survey in America showed that 90% of Ameri-cans say they believe heaven is real, but only 25% of those same people say they believe hell is a real place.

That’s like saying you believe there is light but no darkness, that there is right but no wrong.

Common sense tells you that doesn’t make any sense!

Just saying a place is not

Think A Minute

Jhan Tiafau HurstJhan Tiafau Hurst

Fairytale or fact?

real doesn’t make it true. It’s like saying the North

Pole is not real just because we don’t think so.

The fact is Jesus Christ talked about hell much more than he did heaven.

He said hell is a real place that’s full of the worst pain and endless suffering for everyone who rejects His good life by choosing to live their own way instead of the true way He created us to enjoy.

Jesus repeatedly ex-plained that the reason He came to give His innocent

life was to pay the penalty for all our sins.

God the Son came to save us from suffering in hell forever, even though it cost Him His own di-vine life.

You see, we can’t say we believe Jesus Christ spoke the truth about some things, but that He lied about other things like hell. He can’t be God and be a liar too.

Remember, since God is perfectly good and pure, it’s simply not possible for Him to live together with any kind of wrong or evil.

DAVID was the only man described in the Bible as the “man after God’s own heart but what made him one? What does it take to be a man after God’s own heart?

First, David had absolute faith in God. He also loved God’s laws. Almost half of the Book of Psalms that he wrote that mostly described his love and adoration to God.

In Psalm 119:47-48: “For I delight in your commands because I love them. I lift up my hands to your com-mands, which I love, and I meditate on your decrees.”

David was truly thankful. “I wash my hands in inno-cence, and go about your altar, O LORD, proclaiming aloud your praise and telling

The man after God’s own heart

of all your wonderful deeds” (Psalm 26:6-7).

David’s life was marked by seasons of great peace and prosperity as well as times of fear and despair. But through all of the sea-sons in his life, he never forgot to thank the Lord for everything that he had. It is truly one of his finest characteristics.

Another characteristic of David was that he was

truly repentant. “It hap-pened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on the roof of the king’s house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beauti-ful. And David sent and inquired about the woman.

And one said, ‘Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?’

So David sent messen-gers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, ‘I am pregnant’” (2 Samuel 11:2-5).

The mighty fall hard, and David’s fall included adultery, lying and mur-der. He had sinned against God and he admits it in 2 Samuel 12:13: “David said to Nathan, ‘I have sinned against the LORD.’

And Nathan said to Da-vid, ‘The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die.’” But admitting our sin and asking for forgiveness

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…`Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that (the end) is near, right at the door’…” (Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in Matthew 24:32-33, the Holy Bible).

-ooo-WORLDWIDE ASSAULT ON US EMBASSIES

FEARED: As this column is being written, embassies and consulates of the United States of America around the world have been put on red alert, to prepare them for attacks similar to those that killed US Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, and which set US buildings on fire in Cairo, Egypt, in Yemen, and in other places in the Middle East and North Africa.

But, there is no preparation by the US that can stop these attacks. These assaults are not only pitting Ameri-cans against those who hate them. Rather, they are in fulfillment of the Biblical prophecy given in Matthew 24 by Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, that, as the end of the world nears, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom”.

-ooo-WARS VS. US INEVITABLE: In other words, these

wars will happen, because they were predicted and foretold to happen. There is nothing anyone can do to stop them, and the accuracy of the Biblical prediction is made more poignant by the fact that, at this point, the fighting and the attacks were set off rather innocuously by a totally obscure and virtually unknown film lashing out at a spiritual figure.

This may sound too negative or pessimistic to some, but then we cannot deny that this is happening now. If anyone cares to notice, the prediction of wars involves a “nation to nation, kingdom against kingdom” fight---which means, only one nation will be fighting

Alleged masterminds want their petition referred to Supreme Court en banc

AFTER THE DENIAL OF THEIR MOTION FOR RE-CONSIDERATION, the alleged masterminds behind the murder of journalist Marlene Esperat have filed a motion asking that their petition for review on cer-tiorari be referred to the Supreme Court en banc, the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR) said yesterday.

The Third Division of the Supreme Court had already denied “with fi-nality” last June 25, 2012 the accused masterminds’ motion for reconsideration of their petition for review on certiorari (http://www.cmfr-phil.org/2012/08/02/supreme-court-denies-al-leged-masterminds-motion-

with-finality/). The cases against them would have been dropped if their peti-tion had been approved.

Osmena Montañer and Estrella Sabay filed the pe-tition for review before the Supreme Court after the Court of Appeals Mind-anao station affirmed its denial of their petition for certiorari and prohibition against the Regional Trial Court of Tacurong City, the Department of Justice and Esperat’s sister, Valmie Garcia Mariveles on 19 Janu-ary 2012. (The case was first heard at Tacurong City RTC Branch 20. It was transferred to Makati upon the request

of the Esperat family and FFFJ citing security con-cerns.)

Rule 45 of the Rules of Court of the Philippines states that “a party desir-ing to appeal by certiorari from a judgment or final order or resolution of the Court of Appeals, the San-diganbayan, the Regional Trial Court or other courts whenever authorized by law, may file with the Supreme Court a verified petition for review on certiorari. The petition shall raise only a questions of law which must be distinctly set forth.”

In an 11-page motion dated 10 August 2012, Mon-tañer and Sabay requested that their petition for review on certiorari be forwarded

to the Supreme Court en banc for decision, saying that “it is unfortunate that the Honorable Court did not give due course to the instant petition which raises an issue which is deemed of ‘sufficient importance to merit its attention….’

The alleged masterminds through their lawyer Cesar Jimenea argued that there was no “substantial evi-dence” to prove that there is probable cause that they masterminded the murder of Esperat. They claimed that the testimony of state witness Sgt. Rowie Barua, in which they were named as the masterminds behind Esperat’s murder, was not included in the evidence

Otherwise, He wouldn’t be God! Just like light and darkness cannot be in the same place together. But if we want God to leave us alone, He will.

After all, He’s the One Who gave us our freedom to choose in the first place. He will never force us to love Him and live the way He created us to enjoy.

Jesus said that even though our body dies, our soul will live forever—either in heaven or in hell. So it’s up to us to choose whether we want Jesus’ gift of for-giveness and way of living, or our own way.

Heaven or hell. But you’re the only one who can send yourself to hell, because God’s already done everything He possibly can so you don’t go there.

The choice and risk is yours.

ZAMBOANGA CITY––Philippine soldiers captured two Abu Sayyaf rebels implicated in the kidnapping of 21 people, including three US citizens, from a posh Filipino resort in the 2001, officials said Thursday.

Officials said the two men – Imam Pai and Aling – were captured late Wednesday in their hideout in Zamboanga del Norte’s Labason town.

Major General Ricardo Rainier Cruz III, commander of the 1st Infantry Divi-sion, hailed the capture of the duo and lauded the soldiers behind the operation.

“This success shows the good coopera-tion among law enforcement agencies, the civilian community and the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and government efforts are continuing to ensure that justice will always prevail. We need to win the peace for the safety and well-being of the com-munity,” Cruz told the Mindanao Examiner.

The duo was among those who kid-napped holidaymakers, among them a

US missionary couple Martin and Gracia Burnham, and California man Guillermo Sobero, in Dos Palmas resort in Palawan province.

Sobero was eventually killed and Mar-tin Burnham was shot during a US-led military rescue operation in Zamboanga del Norte.

Burnham’s wife was rescued, but wound-ed after being hit by a stray bullet in the fire fight between troops and rebels.

Captain Albert Caber, an army spokes-man, said both Pai and Aling, had warrants for their arrest and have long been wanted by law for their involvement in the mass kidnappings and other atrocities.

“The capture of the two means two less terrorists on the street,” he said.

Caber said the two men were brought to Zamboanga City where they are being interrogated by the military.

Authorities linked the Abu Sayyaf to the spate of terrorism and kidnappings in the southern Philippines.

1. The Purpose of Parliamentary Procedure is to make it easier for people to work together effectively and to help groups accomplish their purposes. Rules of procedure should assist a meeting,not inhibit it.2. A meeting can deal with only one matter at a time. The various kinds of motion have therefore been assigned an order of precedence.3. All members have equal rights, privileges and obligations. One of the chair-person’s main responsibilities is to use the authority of chair to ensure that all people attending a meeting are treated equally for example, not to permit a vocal few dominate the debates.4. A majority vote decides an issue. In any group, each member agrees to be governed by the vote of the majority. Parliamentary rules enable a meeting to determine the will of the majority of those attending a meeting.5. The rights of the majority must be protected at all times. Although the ultimate decision rests with a majority, all members have such basic rights as the right to be heard and the right to oppose. The rights of all members majority and minority and minority should be the concern of every member, for a person maybe a majority on one question but in minority the on the next.6. Every matter presented for decision should be discussed fully. The right of every member to speak on any issue is as important as each member’s right to vote. 7. Every member has the right to understand the meeting of any question pre-sented to a meeting and to know what effect a decision will have. A member always has the right to request information on any motion he or she does not thoroughly understand. Moreover, all meetings must be characterized by fairness and good faith. Parliamentary strategy is the art of using procedure legitimately to support or defeat a proposal.

CONDUCTING A MEETING Members express themselves in a meeting by making motions. A motion is a proposal that the entire membership take action or a stand on an issue. Individual members can:1. Call to order2. Second motions3. Debate motions4. Vote on motionsThere are four basic types of motions:1. Main motions: The purpose of a main motion is to introduce items to the membership for their consideration. The cannot be made when any other motion is on the floor, and they yield to subsidiary,privileged and incidental motions.2. Subsidiary motions: The purpose is to change or effect how a main motion is handled, and is voted on before a main motion.3. Privileged motions: Their purpose is to bring up items that are urgent or important matters unrelated to pending business.4. Incidental motions: Their purpose is to provide a means of questioning proce-dure concerning other motions and must be considered before the other motion.

HOW MOTIONS ARE PRESENTEDA. Obtain the floor -Wait until the last speaker has finished. -Rise and address the chairperson by saying, “ Mr? Ms Chairman” or “Mr/Ms President” -Wait until the chairperson recognized you.B. Make your Motion -Speak in a clear and concise manner. -Always state a motion affirmatively. Say “I move that we …”rather” I move that We do not…” - Avoid personalities and stay on your subject.C. Wait for someone to second your motion -another member will second your motion or the chairperson will call for a

By: MANOLITO V. SALE, Sr.second. -If there is no second to your motion, it is lostD. The chairperson states your motion. -The chairperson will say, “It has been moved and seconded that we….”thus placing your motion before the membership for consideration and action. - The membership either debates your motion, or may move directly to a vote. - Once your motion is presented to the membership by the chairperson., It becomes “Assembly property”and cannot be changed by you without the consent of the members.E. Expanding on your motion: -The time for you to speak in favor of your motion is at this point in time, rather than at the time you present it. - The mover is always allowed to speak first. - All comments and debate must be directed to the chairperson. -Keep to the time limit for speaking that has been established. - The mover may speak again only after other speakers are finished unless called upon by the chairperson.F. Putting the question to the membership -The chairperson asks, “ Are you ready to vote on the question?” -If there is no more discussion, a vote is taken. _On a motion to move the previous question may be adopted.G. Voting on a motion: The method of vote on any motion depends on the situation and the bylaws of your organization. There are five methods used to vote most organizations, they are: 1. BY VOTE – The chairperson asks those in favor to say “yes” those op-posed to say “No”any member may move for an exact count. 2. BY ROLL CALL. Each member answers “Yes” or “No” as his/her name is called. This method is used when a record of each person’s vote is required. 3. BY GENERAL CONSENT. When a motion is not likely to be opposed, the chairperson says, “If there is no objection…” The membership shows agreement by their silence; however, if one member says, “ I object”, the item must be put to a vote. 4. BY DIVISION – This is a slight verification of a voice vote. It does not require a account unless the chairman so desires. Members raise their hands or stand. 5. BY BALLOT – Members write their vote on a sheet of paper; this method is used when secrecy is desired.

There are two other motions that are commonly used that relate to voting:

MOTION TO TABLE. This motion is often used in the attempt to “KILL” a motion. The option is always present, however, to “Take from the table” for reconsideration by the membership. MOTION TO POSTPONE INDEFINITELY – This often used as a means of parliamentary strategy an allows opponents of motion to test the strength without an actual vote being taken also,debate is once again open on the main motion. Parliamentary procedure is the best way to get things done at your meetings. It will only work,however,if you use it properly. Remember to; 1. Allow motions that are in order. 2. Have members obtain the floor properly 3. Speak clearly and concisely 4. Obey the rules of debate 5. Most importantly, BE COURTEOUS ,

Mobile Phone operator Sun Cellular has joined Visually Impaired Brother-hood for Excellent Services Incorporated (VIBES), a growing organization of blind massage therapists, in celebrating the White Cane Day through sports and a series of wellness activities for its hundreds of members from different parts of the country. Republic Act No. 6759 declares August 1 as the “White Cane Safety Day”, aimed at raising awareness

on the plight of the blind and promote the duty of every individual to uphold the rights of members of this community. “We are happy to take part in this year’s White Cane Day by partnering with VIBES to put up this sports festival for the blind. Through this, we hope to help strengthen fellowship among our blind brothers and sisters and foster their camaraderie as a whole com-munity,” says Jocel Adorable, Assistant Vice President for Marketing Services of Sun

Sun Cellular supports White Cane Safety Day celebration for the blinds

Cellular. As a thriving business that is operated for and by the blind, VIBES Incorpo-rated has been a long-time partner of Sun Cellular, as the former makes use of Sun’s best-value mobile services for its nationwide operations. “Because of our condi-tion, our operations are a bit more complex than most businesses. With this, Sun Cellular has always been a big help, providing an easy

and reliable communication channel for our employees through its Double Unlimited Service,” says Dante Tiosan, President of VIBES. “We do unlimited tele-conferencing internally and with our clients via landline and mobile and even get to text using a special software. All these, without us having to worry about incurring high costs,” he adds. Established from a meager starting capital of P8,000 and

eight massage therapists, VIBES Incorporated now has over 450 employees and around P23 million in net worth. As it goes on in creating more livelihood opportu-nities for the blind, Ador-able has expressed Sun’s continued support for the organization. “It has always been our vision to help individuals and organizations achieve success and do more for the

society by providing them with innovative, reliable and best-value communication services. We’ve always been in-spired by the story of VIBES and we look forward to being partners with them as they continue to soar high in their business and in their noble commitment for our blind brothers and sisters,” concludes Adorable. Sun Cellular is a member of the PLDT Group.

A member of Congress has urged the Department of Agri-culture (DA) to quickly check the soaring cost of milled soya, a key feed ingredient, in order to assure consumers ample pork supply at fair prices ahead of the Christmas season. “We’ve already asked the DA to look into the demand-supply equation of milled soya, because a number of swine growers have complained of difficulty in obtaining the vital feed input from importers,” said Rep. Arnel Ty, a member of the House committee on trade and industry. “We raised the issue when the DA budget was heard at the House. (Agriculture) Secretary Proceso Alcala promised to promptly call for a depart-ment inquiry on the matter,” said Ty, who represents the sectoral party LPG Market-ers’ Association (LPG-MA) in Congress. Milled soya prices have surged to as high as P36 per kilo from P27 per kilo in Au-gust, and from only P22 per kilo in July. A rich source of protein, milled soya accounts for 25 percent of most swine feed. The Philippines does not grow soya beans, and is totally dependent on a handful of milled soya importers. “Should milled soya prices continue to climb, this surely impact local swine growers, and ultimately adversely affect pork consumers,” Ty warned. With the Christmas season fast approaching, he urged the DA to take strong actions to guarantee consumers sufficient

Soaring cost of soya may drive pork price up, warns solon

pork supply at reasonable prices. “If necessary, extra ship-ments of milled soya should be brought in to address potential shortages. This way, swine producers will have adequate supply of the feed ingredient all the time,” Ty said. He said the National Food Authority could import ad-ditional supplies of milled soya in order to establish a buffer, adding that the agency is mandated by law to secure the country's supply of all kinds of grains, not just rice. “We are counting on the DA to ascertain whether milled soya importers are not unjus-tifiably holding up supplies in warehouses -- if they are mak-ing stocks readily available at fair prices to swine growers,” Ty said. “Swine growers are con-cerned that (milled soya) importers might be unduly holding on to their stocks in anticipation of a sustained rally in soya prices,” he said. Prices of agricultural com-modities, including soya beans, have been on the rise in the global markets, due to a men-acing drought in the United States. Ty is a key backer of the local swine industry – the farm sector’s biggest employer, and the second-greatest economic contributor to agriculture, next to rice. He is author of House Resolution 1960, which calls for stronger actions to protect local swine growers from unfair competition posed by pork smugglers.

MANILA-- The Philippine economy is projected to grow between 5.5 to 6 per-cent in the third quarter of the year despite the effects of continued recession in the Eurozone and slowdown in the United States, according to First Metro Investment Corp.-University of Asia and the Pacific (FMIC-UA&P) Capital Market Research Center.

"While the economy's growth may seem to ease, the outlook for second half remains positive considering that Meralco electricity sales

Nation’s economy to grow 6% in Q3

in July remained elevated particularly for the indus-trial sector," FMIC-UA&P report said.

The FMIC-UA&P attrib-uted the modest growth to the continues strong domes-tic consumption and further national government spend-ing as well as improved bank lending performance.

"Better export upticks will have to wait for the fourth quarter when the US and East Asian economies are expected to speed up again in response to third quarter fiscal and monetary

stimuli," the report said.The National Statistical

Coordination Board (NSCB) had reported that the coun-try's GDP may slow down in the third quarter as the composite leading economic indicator dropped to 0.146 after four quarters of suc-cessive increases beginning in the third quarter of 2011.

In the first six months, GDP grew by 6.1 percent, faster than last year's 4.2 percent.

In the second quarter alone, the Philippine GDP grew by 5.9 percent, higher

than Malaysia's 5.4 per-cent; Vietnam, 4.4 percent; Thailand, 4.2 percent; and Singapore, 2 percent.

But the country's GDP was lower than China's 7.8 percent and Indonesia, 6.4 percent.

The Philippines' second-quarter GDP were boosted by the services sector, which rose 7.6 percent, followed by industry at 4.6 percent, and agriculture, which hardly grew at 0.7 percent.

The government's targets a five to six percent GDP this year. pna

Mr. Marcial P. Labininay, Officer-in-Charge of the Philippine Insti-tute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) Cagayan de Oro Seis-mic Station, guested in the second quarter Media Forum conducted by the National Economic and Develop-ment Authority Regional Office 10 (NEDA-X) on September 13, 2012.

“Considering the current changes in climatic conditions, we have invited PHIVOLCS to share with us some technical information on Earthquakes, Tsunami and Volcanic Hazards as well as practical tips on what to do before,

during and after the occurrences of these events,” NEDA-X Assistant Regional Director Fe D. Domingo said in her welcome remarks.

Also presented to about 35 media practitioners were the second quarter situation of the regional economy by Engr. Cecilio Y. Clarete and the resolutions passed by the Regional Development Council of Northern Mindano (RDC-X) by Assistant Di-rector Domingo. Highlights of the second quarter performance of NM economy is the doubling of new invest-ments to 9.8 million pesos from only

4.1 million in the same quarter 2011. Unemployment, however, increased slightly by 0.25 percentage points to 4.24 percent.

NEDA-X conducts the Media Fo-rum once every quarter to strengthen the agency’s partnership with the me-dia people and to ensure a continuing dissemination of relevant information on various developments especially the region’s economic performance and other concerns requiring extensive community support with the help of the tri-media.

The House plenary termi-nated debates on the budget of the Department of Agri-culture last Thursday before it suspended consideration of the national outlay under HB 6455 but would resume sessions Friday morning. The House of Repre-sentatives last Tuesday ap-proved on second reading the following measures: 1) HB 6545 - National Land Use and Management Act of the Philippines; 2) HB 6548 - Agriculture and fisheries Mechanization (AF-MECH) Law; 3) HB 6547 - Establish-ing at least One (1) Special Education (SPED) Center for each School Division and at least three (3) SPED centers in big School Divisions for children with special needs (CSN), providing guidelines therefor, and for other pur-poses; 4) HB 6546 - Providing for the modernization of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomi-cal Services Administration (PAGASA), providing funds therefor and for other pur-poses; 5) HB 6544 - Ratio-nalizing and strengthening the Probation System; 6) HB 6538 - Regulating the education and licensure of physicians and the practice

This reality has prompted the Sudaria Group of Pub-lications to establish “The Media Center.” As part of its corpo-rate social responsibility, BusinessWeek Mindanao, Mindanao Daily News, Min-danao Star Balita, Cagayan Times, and BWM Magazine, has started operation of the Media Center with trainings, seminars, and lectures on almost all journalistic per-suasion, i.e. Broadcast jour-nalism, Basic Journalism for Print and Radio, News writing, feature writing, editorial writing, lay-out and design, photography and photojournalism, video production, on-line publica-tion and programming.

“During the Habagat rains, many schools an-nounced the cancellation of classes past 4:30 am result-ing in students braving the torrential rains and attend-ing class the following day even if there was already a suspension,” Palatino said.

Palatino said without strengthening such public information dissemination channels, many students will still not be reached by urgent class suspension or cancellation announce-ments.

“The late suspension of classes and the vary-ing policies on automatic suspensions endanger the students’ rights and welfare, as they are forced into a great inconvenience due to government protocol,” Palatino said.

“Students may catch vari-ous diseases from wading in flood waters, ranging from flu to the life-threatening leptospirosis,” Palatino said.

along Marikina River.Baconguis said the expe-

dition, which travels for 85 kilometers for three weeks, will examine and document sources of toxic pollution from Marikina River to Laguna Lake during the month of September.

“Hopefully, the results of the test will be out at the end of the month,” she said.

The group is also call-ing on the government to require factories to disclose the chemical wastewater that they discharge into rivers, as part of a campaign to protect the country’s freshwater sources.

“Every day, hundreds of thousands of chemicals are being released into the environment, majority of these through pipes that discharge wastewater into rivers and lakes,” Baconguis said.

“Communities along our rivers and lakes directly bear the brunt of these toxic dis-charges which can ultimately contaminate our source of drinking water,” she added.

reviewed by the lower court in deciding on their motion to quash and in issuing the arrest warrants.

Jimenea sent copies of the said motion to the Of-fice of the Solicitor Gen-eral, Esperat’s sister Valmie Garcia Mariveles through counsel Nena Santos, and Branch 138 of the Makati Regional Trial Court, where the murder case is now being heard. The office of Santos received the motion last 6 September 2012. However, neither Prosecution Attor-ney Cesar Angelo Chavez III of the Department of Justice nor lawyer Prima Jesusa Quinsayas received a copy of the motion. Chavez is the public prosecutor assigned to handle the murder case, while Quinsayas serves as private prosecutor repre-senting Esperat’s widower and children. Quinsayas is the counsel of FFFJ.)

Meanwhile, Branch 138 of the Makati Regional Trial Court has ordered the alleged masterminds to comment on the Third Motion for the Issuance of an Alias Warrant filed by the

prosecution last 30 August 2012. The prosecution has yet to receive the comment of Montañer and Sabay on motion for an alias warrant.

The Makati court earlier deferred the resolution of the prosecution’s Second Motion for an alias war-rant, citing the pending resolution of the accused masterminds’ motion for re-consideration before the Su-preme Court.

Esperat was killed on 24 March 2005 in her home in Tacurong City, Sultan Kudarat. The gunman and his accomplices were con-victed in October 2006 by a Cebu court. The case against alleged masterminds Mon-tañer and Sabay was filed earlier but had been on hold from December 2009 until August 2011 due to a preliminary injunction is-sued by the appellate court as it was resolving their petition for certiorari. CA Mindanao has since denied their petition for certiorari and lifted the preliminary injunction, thus paving the way for their trial.

Heart...from page 4

is only half of the equa-tion.

The other half is repen-tance, and David did what we should all do: repent of our sins. Psalm 51 is David’s prayer of repentance to God: “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.

One imp or t ant character David possessed was he demonstrated his faith on a daily basis which pleased the Lord.

Throughout his life his faith would be tested on a grand part and in he passed most of the tests. David also loved God’s law and he sought to follow it as best he could.

He spent many days meditating on it and try-ing to apply it to his own life. He knew that God’s law had the power to change lives if it was followed to the letter.

Another imp or tant character trait that David exhibited was that he had the attitude of gratitude and was very thankful for his life. During his life he had all sorts of trouble, but David thanked God every day. And, finally, David was truly repentant.

Let us not forget that he was a man just like us who sinned on a regular basis. But, despite his sin, he al-ways loved God and sought to repent of those sins.

He is a role model for all of us sinners who need to repent earnestly. David was indeed a man after God’s own heart.

THE END: Matthew 24

says all of these will lead, first, to the dreaded tribu-lation, and then, second, to the return of Jesus Christ. What’s in store for the world, in the face of these projected events?

Death and destruc-tion for those who do not bel ieve in God---and even for those who believe but who do not obey Him---and salva-tion for those who will remain faithful to the end. The good news is, while the end of the world has not happened yet, anyone wanting to avoid death and destruction can still do something---repent, accept Jesus as God and Savior, and then obey His commands in the Bible.

displaced wood workers, said children of tree farm-ers, sawmill worker, and indigenous people had quit school. ‘They now added the city’s growing school dropouts,’ he said.

The problem of hunger that slowly weakens the wood industry’s dependents continue to persist due to the failure of the government to address the problem, Tiu added.

He said Caraga Region generally subsists with log-ging. The government’s fail-ure to adopt sustainable policies designed to alleviate the wood industry had the situation getting worse.

Tiu, however, said that stakeholders in the wood industry expressed high optimism with the latest joint program of the city government where jobless workers in the industry be encouraged to plant cacao trees in the areas.

He said the DENR and the city government had agreed to pursue plans to invite displaced workers in the wood industry to palnt cocoa.

There are some 500,000 cocoa seedlings ready for planting this season. ‘These seedlings would be planted within Butuan city’s out-skirst. CD
