KIDAPAWAN City––Resi-dents and traders in North Cotabato, starting Tuesday night, have enjoyed steady supply of electricity, or to say the least, one to two hours of brownouts daily, after Cotabato Electric Co-

Rodriguez welcomes Pnoy. Cagayan de Oro Rep. Rufus Rodriguez (2nd District) welcomes President Benigno Aquino III during turnover of some 1,500 permanent houses to Sendong survivors in Sitio Calaanan, Barangay Canitoan in Cagayan de Oro City on April 27, 2012. Rodriguez thanked Pres. Aquino for fulfilling his promise four months ago to give permanent housing for Sendong victims.

P R E SI DE N T B e n i g n o Aquino, III, swore in 24 members of the transition team of the Regional Leg-islative Assembly (RLA) of the Autonomous Re-gion of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) in Malacañang on Tuesday.

The assemblymen repre-sent the various congressio-nal districts of the ARMM and sectoral groups that include women, indigenous cultural communities and agriculture.

The ARMM has a uni-cameral RLA headed by a Speaker. It is composed of three members for every congressional district.

The current member-ship is 24, where six are

Kidapawan’s power outage easesoperative (Cotelco) was given a ‘go signal’ to draw power from the Therma Marine, Inc (TMI) of the Aboitiz Power.

The drawing of eight megawatts of power from the TMI’s barge at Maco,

Compostela Valley started around 5 p.m., Tuesday, according to Wilfredo Ro-lando, head of the Aboitiz Power’s corporate commu-nications and community relations office.

Cotelco general manager Godofredo Homez said the province is now enjoying 28MW to 30MW of power daily, thus, some of the sub-stations of the co-op will experience at least one to two hours of rotating blackouts.

The co-op has at least five sub-stations in the prov-ince’s 17 towns and one city that service at least 98,000 electric consumers.

Homez is hopeful the power situation in North Cotabato will improve once the Pulangi-4 hydroelectric power plant in Maramag, Bukidnon starts its opera-tions anytime this week.

The Pulangi-4, since April 19, underwent pre-ventive maintenance.

“If the power plant starts its operations this week, at least 180 megawatts of power would be added to the Mindanao grid, thus, de-creasing the region’s power deficiency from 400MW to 220MW. This would mean

Aquino swears in membersof ARMM regional assembly

from Lanao del Sur includ-ing Marawi City, six from Maguindanao, six from Sulu, three from Basilan and three from Tawi-Tawi.

The RLA is the legisla-tive branch of the ARMM government.

The regular members, three members per district and sectoral representa-tives, have three-year terms with a maximum of three consecutive terms.

It exercises legislative power in the ARMM, except on the following matters: foreign affairs, national defense and security, postal service, coinage and fiscal and monetary policies, administration of justice, quarantine, customs and

tariff, citizenship, natu-ralization, immigration and deportation, general auditing, national elec-tions, maritime, land and air transportation, com-munications, patents, trade-marks, trade names and copyrights, foreign trade, and may legislate on matters covered by the Shari’ah , the law governing Muslims.

The RLA members will serve as the transition team in ARMM until the May 2013 elections.

The assemblymen were appointed four months after the appointment of ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman as head of the transition team last December 18. CD WITH WIRE REPORT

WHILE banks across the globe helplessly watched their brand values dive with the persisting effects of the 2007 global crisis, the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) leveraged strategy and innovation that resulted in its winning the 2011 Bank of the Year Awards as well as in strengthening its po-sition as the country’s top bank brand.

On top of earnings, as-sets, Tier 1 capital growth and returns on equity, con-tenders for the Bank of the Year Awards were evaluated against their ability to set

new standards for the local banking industry, their use of new technology, and their innovation and cost efficient expansion strategies.

BPI President and CEO Aurelio Montinola, who took center stage along-side winners representing the best banks from 146 other countries said, “We are achieving our target of 5 million customers, and have provided them with additional banking convenience in the form of online investing and loan applications, and real-time cash acceptance machines.”

Another first in the Philippines, the BPI Cash Deposit Machine allows for actual cash deposit that gets credited to your ATM account real time. It gives out a receipt as proof of the transaction. And because the machines function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, they take away the need for customers to deposit through bank tellers during banking hours.

Moving forward, Mr. Montinola further ex-plained, “We will focus on cost efficiency, capital

THINK a minute.In 1946, the United States

Army showed to the public its brand new 30-ton com-puter called the ENIAC.

All the credit for this invention was given to 2 men, John Mauchly and J. Eckert. But it was actually a group of 6 women who programmed the computer and made this complex machine work.

None of those 6 women were recognized for their amazing work and achieve-ment.

Not until today, have his-torians showed this injustice and given these women the credit they earned.

Sadly, throughout his-tory women and mothers have often not been given the honor and recognition

Mama’s boys

they deserve.Yet the great French

leader and conqueror, Na-polean, said: “The future of a child is usually the work of the mother.” And history proves it! In fact, many of the greatest men and leaders of the world have proudly admitted that they became strong men because of their mothers’ teaching and ex-ample. They were proud to be “mama’s boys!”

Some of these great men were American Presidents, including George Wash-ington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Ken-nedy, Jimmy Carter, and we could go on and on.

George Washington, the first President of the United States said: “All that I am I owe to my mother…I credit all of my success in life to

the moral and intellectual training I received from her.”

It’s clear throughout history that women and mothers are some of the most important, powerful people in the world. Proving true the saying: “The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.”

Jesus Christ Himself clearly showed that women are just as important to God as men.So won’t you ask your Maker to help you see and value yourself the same way He does?

Then, whether you’re a woman or a man, ask Jesus to forgive and help you change so you will start showing honor and respect to your mother, or wife, by the way you treat her.

Journalists need laws to protect them, not lip service

Normin’s underemployment highest in Mindanao

TWO days ago, a broadcast jour-nalist was gunned down in Mati, Davao del Sur. Nestor Libaton, 40, radio reporter of the Catholic-run DxHM-AM (Ang Radyo Totoo), was on his way to the city proper on board his motorcycle when waylaid by two suspects riding in tandem in a separate motorbike. Libaton suc-cumbed to seven gunshot wounds and died on the spot.

The killing of Libaton took place a day after Malacañang Palace issued statement that the government is doing everything to secure members of the press. The assurance was made as President Aquino condemned the killing of Rommel Palma, 31, a reporter of Bombo Radyo in Koronadal City on April 30.

On April 24, 2012, Michael Calanasan, a reporter in Laguna was also shot dead. The killings took place days before and as journalists around the world commemorate ‘World Press Freedom Day’ on May 3.

Former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo left 78 journalists, mostly broadcast, killed at the end of her term. Arroyo’s administration tallied the highest number of journalists killed when 32 broadcast and print jour-nalists were slaughtered in the Maguindanao carnage in 2009. Notwithstanding, at the rate of three or four journalists killed every month, the Aquino administration

will tally the highest journalist killed in the scoreboard three and half years from now. Aquino might leave 100 or more journalists killed when his term ends in 2016 sans massacre.

Indeed, the Philippines is the most dangerous place for a working journalist anywhere in the world – even more dangerous in countries where armed conflict is going on. To exacerbate the situation, an ordinary Fili-pino journalist works on a dangerous ground without protection from the government.

It is always the usual pronouncement of the govern-ment that protection and security of working journalists are on top of their agenda. However, that pronouncement turns out nothing but one among the many ‘lip services’ the government is adept with.

The truth is the government has not passed legisla-tions to protect working journalist against publisher discrimination and security of tenure. Not almost all journalists (broadcast and print) in the countryside enjoy the minimum wage law. These journalists have no health and retirement insurance, too. Some may enjoy minimum wage and insurance coverage but they do not enjoy wage hike as much other private companies do. Countryside journalists lived in squalid poverty. They are only rich in courage and armed with indomitable spirits that expose graft and corruption in local government units. They are always vulnerable to the excesses of those in

WHEN statistics start to speak and tell you that the January 2012 Labor Force Survey (LFS) results of the country registered an employment rate of 92.8 percent, which is not sig-nificantly different from the estimate reported in January 2011, which was 92.6 percent, what will be your outright reaction?

In the same vein, when statistics will unfold before your eyes and show you another findings obtained from the survey that of the total employed persons in the Philippines in January 2012, 62.1 percent were working full time while 36.7 percent were part-time workers, what will be your immediate response?

Such rhetorical questions might lead one to think critically and to start unty-

ing the entangled thread that complicates the issue on underemployment as one brings to the fore these questions - “Who are the underemployed?” “How does underemployment dif-fer from unemployment?

While unemployment has been a common topic of discussion, underem-ployment and its effects have not been given much attention, even though the number of underemployed workers has also increased.

It has been said that

“unemployment and under-employment are considered as the two difficult socio-economic problems that can cause undesirable effects on the person’s economic and social status.

The easiest way to present the concept that illustrates the meaning of unemployment is when one is in a jobless condi-tion. On the other hand, underemployment refers to a condition wherein an employed individual’s work is insufficient to fulfill his

needs. Moreover, employed persons who express the de-sire to have additional hours of work in their present job, or to have additional job, or to have a new job with longer working hours are considered underemployed.

According to NSO Ad-ministrator Carmelita N. Ericta, “the number of un-deremployed persons in the country in January 2012 was estimated at 7.0 million placing the underemploy-ment rate at 18.8 percent. The underemployment rate in January 2011 was estimated at 19.4 percent.

A young executive was leaving the office late one evening when she found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in her hand.

“Listen,” said the CEO, “this is a very sensitive and important document here, and my secretary has gone for the night. Can you make this thing work?”

“Certainly,” said the young executive.

She turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.

“Excellent, excellent!” said the CEO as his paper disap-peared inside the machine. “I just need one copy.”

I PTargeted therapies

Targeted therapies are a newer form of cancer treatment that are often used in combination with chemotherapy or when other therapies fail.

One type prevents the growth of new blood vessels that feed cancer cells.

It has been shown to help people with advanced lung cancer live longer when given with chemo-therapy.

Other targeted therapies interrupt the signals that cause lung cancer cells to multiply, as shown in the highly magnified image here. (WebMD)

CAGAYAN de Oro City - Amid reports of CPP/NPA/NDF-initiated at-tacks in various parts of the country, the Police Regional Office in North-ern Mindanao (PRO-10) i s n ow i mpl e m e nt i ng tighter security measures to prevent further ‘rebel’ atrocities.

P/CSupt. Jufel C. Adri-atico, PRO-10 director, instructed his senior staff officers to direct all police directors and command-ers to conduct active and massive target-hardening measures.

Such measures include the setting up of additional

police checkpoints to re-strict CNN units from pursuing their activities.

It can be recalled that at dawn of April 23, this year, communist rebels posing as agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), raided a security agency in Butuan City and carted away high-power firearms, like AK-47 and M-14 rif les, automatic shotguns and pistols.

On the f irst of this month, they exploded a landmine in Brgy. Songco, Lantapan, Bukidnon de-stroying a 6X6 truck of the 8th Infantry Battalion, Philippine Army on its

way to Malaybalay City.An exchange of gunfire

ensued between the ‘rebels’ and government forces. Personnel of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) recov-ered empty AK-47 shells and detonating devices at

CAGAYAN de Oro City - Since their transfer to Xavier Ecoville, survivors of tropical storm Sendong have been suffering from very limited supply of water for vegetable gardening purposes.

In response, the Water, Hygiene and Sanitation (WaSH) cluster of Xavier Ecoville tapped the Ateneo Innovation Center (AIC) in installing a facility that would make wastewater re-usable for irrigation and other uses.

Considered to be the first of its kind in Cagayan de Oro City, the Localized Constructed Wetland Grey-water Treatment facility uses umbrella plants, like papyrus, as disinfectant.

The technology has al-ready been tested at the Ateneo de Manila University campus.

AIC’s Jun Granada said the facility uses layers of

bed liner, sand, gravel and pebbles to filter the solid particles from the greywater (1st stage).

The water then flows through a pipe where sand, gravel, coconut husks, char-coal and pebbles are used to minimize foul odors in the water (2nd stage).

Both treatment stages have umbrella plants that help in disinfecting the

greywater. A wastewater team composed of chemical engineers from XU, head-ed by Engr. Maria Isabel Dumalao-Tan will certify the usability of the water.

System expansion for bathrooms and wash areas of Xavier Ecoville is underway. Testing of various plants to see whichever have filtering power is also being planned. (VMG, XU/PIA-10/jdelpf)

38.8 percent. A large percentage of the underem-ployed were working in the agriculture sector (43.8%) and services sector (40.5%). The underemployed in the industry sector accounted for 15.7 percent.”

What about Northern Mindanao ?

Based on the Prelimi-nary Results of the January 2012 Labor Force Survey conducted by the National Statistics Office, the under-employment rate for North-ern Mindanao was posted at 26.6 percent. Though it decreased by 1.7 percentage points from 28.3 percent a year ago, it still registered as the highest among the Mindanao regions and also higher than the national figure of 18.8 percent. Some of this number of people em-ployed for less than 40 hours a week means that there is less money being brought home to pay for living ex-penses, barely enough to pay for the basic needs of the family. Underemployment is often related to marginal work, and therefore cre-ates substantial distress and hardship to the individu-als. Most underemployed persons are living on low wages and/or in poverty and they have nothing to spare for the education of their children, leading to an increase in the number of uneducated children and those who have dropped out from school. This would then pose another problem on the labor force in the future as these children would find it hard to look for a job that would fit their qualification. As cited in an online article in the Journal of Management, “‘I Have a Job, But…’ A Review of Underemployment,” by University of Nevada, Reno Assistant Professor Frances M. McKee-Ryan and Uni-versity of Alabama Assistant Professor Jaron Harvey, underemployment brings potential detrimental effects to individuals, organizations and society.

Along with the decreas-ing trend on the underem-ployment, Northern Mind-anao also experienced a de-cline on the unemployment rate which was estimated at 4.3 percent, indicating 0.6 percentage point lower compared a year ago with 4.9 percent. Despite the vast development of numerous establishments and indus-tries in the region, still some

people were not able to get hold of a job.

On the other hand, the labor force participation rate for the region is posted at 69.2 percent. It showed a slight increase of 0.8 per-centage point from 68.4 percent in 2011. This placed the regional employment rate at 95.7 percent, higher by 0.6 percent compared to last year’s rate of 95.1 per-cent. However, employment growth was not sufficient to reduce unemployment be-cause of population growth and increased labor force participation.

Across industry groups, those employed in the ser-vices sector comprised the largest group, making up nearly half (45.1%) of the total employed persons. Employed persons engaged in wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles comprised the largest group in the services sector (17.0% of total employed).

Workers in the agri-culture sector comprised the second largest group, consisting of 44.7 percent of the total employed per-sons. Only 10.2 percent of the total employed was in the industry sector.

Among the various oc-cupation groups, the labor-ers and unskilled workers comprised the largest group making up 39.6 percent of the total employed persons in January 2012. Farmers, forestry workers and fisher-men were the second largest group with 18.5 percentage share.

Indeed, underemploy-ment might be a complex phenomenon that is difficult to study, but if it would not be given attention, it will continue to bring more challenges that will affect the individuals and the economy.

Task...from page 5

One major role of school head is to evaluate teach-ers regularly. However, for evaluation to be effective, school head and teachers must plan and agree on things to be evaluated for the school year. Teachers will understand better the purpose of evaluation if they participate in the process. Teachers are vary greatly in ability. Some are above average others average. But what is the result expected to the school head? It is to produce a quality output. This clearly defines the school head’s role. He is not to paid to make policies or to help people reach their potential but to get work out the door. Once this shift in thinking has been made, the primary chal-lenge now becomes, How can I best use my teachers to get the work done? The answer is to get the support of the teachers. Give tasks to those who perform best. Be more concerned about what a teacher can do rather than what he/she cannot do.

Empowers...from page 5

regularly with the mem-bers of the community as-semblies; follow up and monitor the receipt and use of payment of cash grants; follow up and monitor the attendance of household grantees in the community assemblies and family devel-opment education sessions; follow up and conduct home visits to households grantees who have not been attending community assemblies and disseminate information to household beneficiaries via the barangay bulletin board; and schedule community and general assemblies.

With the crucial func-tions of the parent leaders in the implementation of the program, a total of 288 leaders from the region are undergoing roll-out training on capability building in order for them to strengthen their roles and equip them to be more effective as part-ners in the implementation.

The training, simultane-ously done in Pryce Plaza Hotel, Pearlmont Hotel, and Hotel Koresco; all of this city, will end on May 10, 2012.

Arnold Jarn Buhisan,

Regional Training Specialist 2, said Pantawid Pamilya aims to empower the ben-eficiary by equipping them with the skills needed in facilitation during meet-ings, documentation, and conflict solution.

He disclosed that the training is one way of mak-ing the grantees ready to adopt a self-sufficiency mechanism after they will graduate from the program.

The training is conduct-ed once a year to all parent leaders since every year, the cluster needs to change their parent leaders to pass on the leadership skills.

Social Welfare and De-velopment Secretary Cora-zon Juliano-Soliman had earlier said that, “Parent-leaders are not passive bene-ficiaries of the program, they are shepherds of change and development because they assist their fellow beneficia-ries in complying with the co-responsibilities and they encourage unity and coop-eration among the com-munity by strengthening linkages for peer support.”

Pantawid Pamilya is im-plemented in the five prov-inces of Northern Mindanao in which all municipalities and cities of the region are covered.

The region now has a total of 246,495 beneficiaries with the implementation of the program from Set 1 to Set 5.

The number compris-es 19 percent of the total

number of household of Mindanao island.

efficiency and differentiating ourselves primarily through relation-ship managers providing appropriate fi nancial solutions to our key clients, and superior online and mobile banking solutions for everyone else.”

Indeed, BPI has been leading the way in online and mobile banking

solutions, cognizant of the increasing need for banking services while on the move. The bank offers BPI ExpressLink Mobile for corporate clients and offers BPI Express Mobile for individuals. Both applications, when downloaded on androids, smartphones and on iPads, allow users to check account balances, transfer funds, pay bills, remit government dues and for corporate clients, approve disbursements and other fi nancial transactions.

BPI Makes Banking EasyDelivering on that promise to

make banking easy, BPI continues to work hard at lowering the bar-riers to fi nancial inclusion such as high opening and minimum account balances. With BPI Easy Saver for example, clients are able to open a zero-minimum, interest-earning account for only P200. And with My ePrepaid Mastercard, even the youth can enjoy internet shopping without the risk of unmanageable debt.

BPI also expanded its suite of loan products with packages that addressed needs specifi c to individual and small- to medium-sized entrepreneurs, who otherwise fi nd it diffi cult to grow their businesses. The BPI Ka-Negosyo loan on lite mode reduces cash fl ow strain in the early stages of a business by letting borrowers settle the interest over the fi rst 6 months and start paying for the principal loan amount beginning on the 7th month as liquidity issues ease up.

Another key innovation that aims to make branch banking easy is the BPI Express Assist (BEA) touch-screen machine. These machines allow customers to directly input transac-tions into the system, eliminating the need to fi ll-out deposit/payment or withdrawal slips. This award-winning technology promotes accuracy, reduces long counter queues, frees up bank personnel to address more compli-cated concerns, and to customers’ delight, cuts transaction time by as much as 30%.

BPI – A very strong brandUsing a royalty relief method

that values a brand based on what would be paid to use it if it were owned by a third party, The Banker ranked the world’s Top 500 Banking Brands, giving each a rating that benchmarks its strength, risk and potential relative to its competitors. In the Philippines, only BPI made it to

the top 300 in this prestigious world list of banking brands.

“Along with the value that is credited to our brand is a responsibility to meet, if not to exceed expectations. As we journey beyond our 160th anniversary, we pledge to be ever more vigilant in protecting the BPI brand and what it stands for,” said Mr. Montinola.

To build on its brand equity and to remain relevant to its customers, BPI took a shift from being product oriented to more customer-focused. It has taken the role of an adviser espousing fi nancial wellness. In fact, it has been running a 7-year fi nancial learning series designed to help overseas Filipino workers manage and protect their hard-earned money. This, on top of the fi nancial education seminars happening in the bank’s branches nationwide. The bank also introduced BPI OnCall, a service whereby fi nancial advisers - acting like doctors – visit employees of BPI corporate clients, diagnose their fi nancial condition and suggest solutions.

Very recently, BPI brought to the Philippines the internationally acclaimed personal fi nance guru and multi-award winning motivational speaker, author and talk show host, Ms. Suze Orman.

In a series of events for BPI customers and employees, as well as through her interviews on Philippine television, Ms. Orman imparted practi-cal tips for building and preserving one’s wealth.

By sharing her own personal journey from fi nancial distress to wealth, she also inspired her audi-ences to look beyond their current condition and believe that with hard work and discipline, every Filipino can become rich.

The internationally-coveted Bank of the Year Awards and Top 500 Bank-ing Brands are given by The Banker. Based in London and affi liated with the Financial Times, The Banker is the world’s premiere banking and fi nance resource, and provider of global fi nancial intelligence since 1962.

It is credited with a reputation for objective and incisive fi nancial reporting. Now on its 12th year, the Bank of the Year Awards is regarded by the world’s leading fi nancial insti-tutions as the standard for banking excellence.

Salay...from page 8

the Legend of Salay. Salay is an eastern town in Misamis Oriental and believed to have begun long before the Spanish colonizers even set foot in the island of Mindanao.

The Higaonon’s highlander tribes from the neighboring province of Bukidnon has their small communities already established along the banks of Casulog River before the “tall men” came.

The dance tells of a legend that goes, the name SALAY came about this way: One day, during the Spaniards times the conquistadores passed by a

Higaonon aide named Salilang. She was then busy looking for her necklace made of SHELLS which was lost in the Casulog river banks. Salilang was asked by the Spaniards, “Quenombre de lugar?” (What is the name of this place?) Not understanding the Spanish language, Salilang answered, “I am looking for my necklace which is made in SILAY.” The Spaniards who could hardly pronounce and recall the words uttered by Salilang identified this place as “SALAY after the word “SI-LAY:, a vernacular for shells. As what their practice, the Spaniards then erected cross in the river bank of Casulog which part of Salay to mark

its Christianization.The tableau made a sig-

nature adage KASILAY FESTI-VAL: IS MORE FUN IN MISAMIS ORIENTAL.

KASILAY Festival 2012 starts April 22-May 1, 2012 which ends during the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker-May 1. It is celebration with daily activities sponsored by the Parish of Salay and Local the Government Unit. This year’s theme KASILAY: “Kadunganan

Salaynon, Garbong Lungsudnon, Maoy Tinguhang Usahon Ang Atong Lungsuranon.”

The Festival was in coop-eration with Salay Municipal Tourism Council, the Local Government Unit and Sang-guniang Bayan Office which facilitated its success through the effort of Tourism SB Chair-man Bobong Piquero and Asst. Tourism Chairwoman Brenda Flores with Vice Mayor Angelo Capistrano Jr. with Mayor Ro-

meo Gue. Tourism Regional Director

Butch E. Chan 111 was rep-resented by Decius “Yoyong’ Esmedalla-DOT X Marketing Promotions Officer and Artistic Director who gave a message of support in making Salay as an emerging tourism destination in Misamis Oriental and in the Region with the successes of the KASILAY FESTIVAL. Yoyong also was the Chairman of the Board of Judges of the Festival

along with Ms. Cathy Miego-Provincial Tourism Officer and Jhules Baril-Managing Director of Regatta Tours Asia.

With the support of the Department of Tourism in Re-gion 10 and the Provincial Tourism Office, it is hoped that a sustaining KASILAY Festival will become a Festival to see in the future in the Province of Misamis Oriental and of Region X. KASILAY FESTIVAL IS MORE FUN IN MISAMIS ORIENTAL.
