NSO Romblon conducts Updating of the List of Establishments By Dinnes Manzo ROMBLON, Romblon, (PIA) -- The National Statistics Office (NSO) is presently conducting nationwide the 2012 Updating of the List of Establishments (ULE). Enumeration of establishments was started last May 2, 2012 and will be end on June 16, 2012 in the growth centers or barangays in the province where significant change in status/characteristics of estab-lishments were observed to have occurred. The ULE is a regular activity of the NSO and is undertaken pri-marily to provide an updated and reliable sampling frame for the census and survey of establishments. The ULE involves listing of new establish-ments and their characteristics, updating the status and characteristics of old establishments and de-listing “closed” establishments that should no longer form part of the List of Establishments (LE) in each enumera-tion areas in the province. The 2012 ULE is being conducted in preparation for the 2012 Census of Philippine Business and Industry (CPBI) and other establish-ment/enterprise surveys. In Romblon, the statistical staff of NSO Romblon is currently enumerating the establishments in 17 municipalities of the province.(Romblon NEWStat/DM/PIA-IVB/Romblon)
Dr. David Peterson is so glad to wear the Marinduque’s “putong” as the Filipinas gift to RECSAM.

Boac Food Processing Center –
Soon to Open!
By: Eleazar P. Manaog/DOST-Marinduque
Rosemarie Revadeneira/Boac Agriculture’s Office With the vision of improving the lives of Boaceños
and developing tourism sector in the municipality, Hon.
Roberto M. Madla continued to push his dreams of estab-
lishing a Boac Food Processing Center to offer safe, qual-
ity and nutritious processed meat and veggie-based prod-
ucts.Mayor Madla then sought assistance from the DOST-
MIMAROPA thru the Provincial S&T Center-Marinduque
for the actual visit and site assessment of the proposed
Food Processing Center believing that the DOST will be
of great help in this kind of endeavor.
Last May 14, 2012 the Provincial Science and
Technology Center-Marinduque headed by PSTD
Bernardo T. Caringal, facilitated the site visit and meeting
with DOST-Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI)
staff, Ms. Cecilia Quindara and Mr. Jaypy De Juan and
Mayor Madla to assess the needs and possible DOST in-
terventions to conform with the Good Manufacturing
Practices (GMP) requirements for a food processing cen-
ter.
Some issues raised were the identification of spe-
cific commodities/sector to be catered by the processing
center and the proper lay-outing of the center. Meat proc-
essing, as the no. 1 priority of Mayor Madla, was identi-
fied together with the veggie-based noodles and other na-
tive delicacies as important commodities in the locality.
The DOST-FNRI staff suggested for the re-
layouting of the processing center in accordance with the
Food Safety standards and in compliance with GMP.

Anti-dengue campaign
sinimulan na sa Palawan By Orlan C. Jabagat
PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan,
(PIA) -- Hinihikayat ng Provincial Health Of-
fice (PHO) ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan ang
lahat na itaguyod ang ABKD o Aksyon Baran-
gay Kontra Dengue, isang pamamaraan na
ipinalabas ng Department of Health (DOH)
upang maiwasan ang pagdami ng lamok sa
mga kabahayan at bakuran. Kaugnay ito ng pag-obserba ng Dengue
Awareness Month ngayong buwan ng Hunyo.
Una, butasan, biyakin o lagyan ng lupa
ang mga lumang gulong upang hindi maipunan
ng tubig at pangitlugan ng lamok. Takpan ang
mga drum, timba at iba pang ipunan ng tubig
upang hindi pamahayan ng kiti-kiti at linisin ito
minsan sa isang linggo.
Palitan ang tubig ng plorera minsan sa
isang linggo. Itapon ang iba pang bagay na
maaaring pag-ipunan ng tubig at pangitlugan ng
lamok tulad ng lata, bote at tansan. Linisin ang
alulod ng bahay upang hindi maipunan ng tubig
at pamahayan ng kiti-kiti.
Magpatingin agad sa health center kung
may sinat na ng dalawang araw.
Base sa talaan ng PHO, umabot sa 429
ang naitalang kaso ng nagkasakit ng dengue
noong nakaraang taon mula sa Norte at Sur ng
lalawigan. Mula noong Enero hanggang Mayo
ngayong taon, umabot na sa 84 ang kaso ng den-
gue sa mga munisipyo.
Nagpalabas naman ng health advisory ang
PHO kung saan nakasaad ang mga impormas-
yong maaaring makatulong sa pagsugpo ng den-
gue.
Ang dengue ay isang sakit na naisasalin
sa tao sa pamamagitan ng kagat ng babaeng
lamok na “Aedes” na may dalang dengue virus.
Ang mga sintomas o mga palatandaan ng sakit na
dengue ay mataas at tuloy-tuloy na lagnat na tu-
matangal ng dalawa hanggang pitong araw; pa-
mumula ng balat sanhi ng mataas na lagnat; pag-
durugo ng ilong o gilagid; walang ganang ku-
main; pagkahilo at pagsusuka. (PIO/OCJ/LBR/

use of the OL Trap.
“In this program,
DOST works very closely with
the health, education, and local
government departments,”
informed Sec. Montejo. “Each
agency has a very important
role in the program to signifi-
cantly reduce the number of
dengue cases among our
school children.”
The program has
identified 31 priority areas that
will receive the first batch of
OL Traps totaling some
4 3 5 , 0 0 0 k i t s n a t i o n -
wide. DOST produced the
initial batch of traps and has
transferred the production of
OL pellets to a private entre-
preneur.
DOST, through its
National Capital Region of-
fice, has also began training
teachers who will serve as
OL Trap coordinators. Said
coordinators learn the proce-
dures of using the OL Trap
and preparing monitoring re-
ports. They also learn more
about dengue and other anti-
dengue initiatives of the gov-
ernment.
“It’s not rocket sci-
ence,” said Department of
Education Undersecretary Je-
sus Lorenzo Mateo. “The OL
Trap is a very simple technol-
ogy but is effective in helping
decrease dengue cases among
schoolchildren.“
“We are happy that
DOST and the Department of
Health is partnering with De-
pEd in this project,” Mateo
added.

Enhanced Justice on Wheels
program, inilunsad By Luis T. Cueto
CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, (PIA)
-- Inilunsad ang Enhanced Justice on Wheels
(EJOW) program na pinangunahan ng Supreme
Court (SC) sa harap ng bagong City Hall sa baran-
gay Guinobatan. Layon nitong mas higit na
mailapit sa mga mamamayan ang hukuman at ma-
pabilis na makamit ang hustisya. Layunin nitong mapabilis ang pagresolba ng
mga kaso at asunto sa mga hukuman sa Calapan at sa
buong lalawigan ng Silangang Mindoro.
Sinuportahan ito ng pamahalaang lungsod ng
Calapan, sa pakikipag-ugnayan ng Integrated Bar of
the Philippines (IBP) – Oriental Mindoro Chapter at
pamumuno ng pangulo nito na si Atty. Charlotte
Aguba-Goco at ng City Legal Department sa pangan-
gasiwa ni City Legal Officer Hospicio Laygo, Jr.
Hangad din ng naturang gawain na mapaigting
ang ugnayan ng bawat opisyal sa lahat ng hukuman sa
iba’t-ibang bahagi ng bansa upang lalo pang mapabilis
ang paghahatid ng hustisya sa mga nangangailangan
partikular sa mga mahihirap.
Pinamahalaan ang nasabing programa ng SC at
pinaunlakan ng ilang mahistrado na binubuo nina Jus-
tice Mariano Del Castillo, Justice Jose Perez, Deputy
Court Administrator Raul Villanueva at Court Admin-
istrator Jose Midas Marquez.
Nakiisa rin sa programa si Judge Manuel Luna,
Executive Judge ng Regional Trial Court (RTC) at
ang mga miyembro ng IBP-Oriental Mindoro Chapter.
Bahagi ng nabanggit na paglunsad ng pro-
grama, nagbigay ng Information Dissemination and
Dialogue para sa mga opisyales ng barangay kaugnay
ng mga ipinatutupad na batas sa kanilang nasasaku-
pan. Ito ay upang mas mapatatag ang barangay justice
sa lungsod at sa lalawigan.
Dagdag pa rito, nais ng Supreme Court na
matulungan ang bawat opisyal na makilala at maging
lubos ang pag-unawa sa mga batas na ipinatutupad sa
barangay.
Sa mensahe ni Mayor Doy C. Leachon, ipina-
hayag niya ang kanyang pagsuporta sa mga inobasyon
sa hukuman na isinasagawa sa bansa sa pangunguna
ng Korte Suprema at ng mga mababang hukuman sa
lungsod ng Calapan. (Mary Maureen Alea/LTC/LBR/
PIA4-B/Calapan City)
In a bid to fight
dengue , the Department of
Science and Technology is
distributing some 435,000
Ovicidal-Larvicidal Traps or
OL Traps to all public ele-
mentary and secondary
schools nationwide before
the rainy season comes.
“DOST will pro-
vide OL Trap kits to every
public school classroom all
over the country,” DOST
Sec. Mario Montejo said.
“OL Traps prevent the lar-
vae from maturing into den-
gue-carrying mosquitoes,
thus we aim to contain and
reduce the spread of the dis-
ease in places where mos-
quitoes congregate and
breed during daytime, like
classrooms."
The OL Trap is a
simple technology that kills
the eggs and larvae of the
female Aedes aegypti mos-
quito that carries the dengue
virus. The black container
attracts mosquitoes to lay
their eggs on the lawanit
strip soaked with the OL
pellet-water solution. The
OL pellets, made of organic
and non-toxic material, at-
tract mosquitoes and kill
their young, in effect reduc-
ing the number of the next
generation of mosquitoes.
DOST’s school-
based OL Trap program
intends to reduce the number
of mosquito population in
schools and communities,
and subsequently lower den-

Today is Thursday, karamihan sa mga nasa disyerto ay half-day laang from work, iyong medyo masuwerte, wala silang
pasok. And then bukas, Friday naman ay day-off, chance to do a lot of household chores: maglaba, maglinis ng kuwarto, kusina,
banyo, magluto, kumain, magpahinga habang nanonood ng satellite TV (sports or movies) or kung may kadutdutan - mga ilang
oras sa harap ng computer hanggang sa makaramdam ng antok. Life is so simple but hard for us OFWs dahil ganito laang naman
natin kung gugulin ang ating konting panahon kapag out of work. Siyempre pa, calling our families back home tops it all. Ku-
mustahan blues, bilin dine, bilin doon, pabili dine, pabili doon. That's how our life is pero despite of that, nandoon pa rin sa atin
ang determinasyong mabago ang sitwasyon ng ating pamumuhay. Ang iba sa atin ay nais maging magaan at madali ang pag-
nanais na makauwi na nang tuluyan upang makapiling ang mga mahal sa buhay. Simple as that, pero papaano natin ito maisasa-
katuparan? Sa pamamagitan ng maliit na pagpaplano, makakautay-utay tayo kung atin laang paninindigan. Kaya ko po naman ito
nasasabi ay sa dahilang mayroon na po tayong mga kasamahan sa MOSAG na nakapagsimula na, how simple it was, nakakausad
na po sila. Ito po ang tinuturol natin kung bakit tayo kahit nasa malalayong bansa nagtatrabaho - ay nagkakaroon ng pag-
kakataong maikipagpalitan ng kuru-kuro sa kapwa natin mga ka-MOSAG on how they could simple start their own livelihood
projects. Sila na pong mga nauna nang magpundar ang makakapagsabi on how they feel ngayong nakikita na nila ang bunga ng
kanilang pinaghirapan sa loob ilang buwang nakaraan: Glad to mention our ka-MOSAG: Beth Leynes (Tarug, Mogpog); Bladdy
Malelang (High Town, Boac); Soc Monleon (Ihatub, Boac); MJ/Cristy Capio (Sayao, Mogpog); Brenda Labos (Tanza, Boac /
Tarug, Mogpog) at ang mas malalaking projects po na still being drafted on the table nila ka-MOSAG: Johnny Villaruel
(Bangbang, Gasan); Jorge Malinao (Balimbing, Boac, and Joseph Morong (Poctoy, Boac). Kahapon po'y bumisita sa amin sa Lu-
pac ang ating ka-MOSAG na kasaluluyang naga-bakasyon upang personal niyang makita ang livelihood projects natin doon: Pig-
gery and Meat Processing. Siyta po ay si L.A. Del Prado from Mogpog. It was a surprise visit ng mag-asawa to see for themselves
on what and how they could start their own livelihood project based sa mga nakita nila sa amin. LA works with Saudi Oger in

Tañada: “Ang taong bukas, 'di takot sa batas! Panahon na ng FOI!”
Following the heels of calls for greater transpar-
ency at the close of the Corona impeachment trial, Deputy
Speaker Lorenzo "Erin" R. Tañada III challenged his fel-
low legislators to do what the Senate does and move for
the immediate passage of the Freedom of Information
(FOI) Bill into law. "It should move at the same pace that
the House made former Chief Justice accountable in our
impeachment complaint."
Tañada lauded the developments in the Senate of
his priority advocacy, the FOI Bill or House Bill No. 53.
Stating that "the issues on transparency and accountability
have been the cornerstone of the bill. It was meant to
break the shroud of secrecy especially in the context of
public governance and leadership."
"Walang lugar sa ating pamahalaan ang pamu-
muno ng isang public official o karaniwang empleyado na
palaging pinagdududahan dahil walang malinaw na im-
pormasyong nanggagaling sa ating mga ahensya," Tañada
added.
"Ang mga taong hindi bukas sa katotohanan, ito
lang ang takot sa pagiging batas ng FOI bill. Panahon
nang ipasa ang FOI!" Tañada insisted.
The Senate version of the FOI has been signed by
22 Senators last Monday, and plenary debates com-
menced afterwards. Meanwhile the draft substitute
bill in the House, has been wallowing in the Com-
mittee on Public Information since February 2011
under Eastern Samar Rep. Ben Evardone, the Com-
mittee Chair.
The draft substitute bill, in its current version
has been the product of more than one year active
consultations with various interest groups, media
and broadcast owners, as well as the amendments
coming from the Communications Group of the
Aquino Administration. The Malacañang version
was submitted to the House at the midway through
the Corona impeachment trial early this year.
"Sa hinaba-haba man daw ng prusisyon, sa
approval din ng FOI ang huling tuntong. Ito ang da-
pat ang panghawakan ng bawat kinatawan ng ating
mamamayan sa Kongreso," Tañada expounded.
Deputy Speaker Tañada is the principal au-
thor of the FOI Bill whose passage was stymied un-
