Privatization of power plants hits new twistMindanao’s Agus-Pulangui Hydroelectric Plants within Bangsa Moro State

By MIKE BAÑOS, Correspondent

THERE seems to be an unforeseen twist to government’s planned privatization of the Agus and Pulangui hydroelec-

tric plants in Mindanao: they are among the natural resources listed in the proposed Bangsa Moro State and would be subject to its laws once the latter’s status as an associ-ated state is approved. Datu Michael O. Mastura, former president and CEO of Phil. Amanah Bank and a member of the MILF Peace Panel, said the impending sale of the two power plants is an issue which pre-empts the issues of ancestral domain and patrimony and land own-ership.

“This will be a part of a longer journey where the foun-dation would like to move from this Eco Activity Center to another competition on Sustainable design using re-cyclable materials,” said Illac Angelo Diaz, executive direc-tor of MyShelter Foundation. “This is a new direction that the foundation would like to go to look for new ideas how to

build alternatively in a nation too poor to build out of the cement, steel, and glass which is is too expensive for a poor country such as this.”

Mr. Diaz said the Quezon City government has offered the use of Payatas, one of the largest managed dumpsite in the country, as a venue for the Eco Activity Center.

MyShelter Foundation was the organizer of Design Against the Elements (DAtE) global architectural design competition where Italpinas, the Filipino-Italian company behind Primavera Residences headed by Architect Romolo

Valentino Nati, won a “SPE-CIAL ENERGY AWARD” in the Professional Category.

Mr. Nati said the eco-friendly design elements of their winning entry have al-ready been incorporated into Primavera Residences such as solar power, rainwater har-vesting and passive cross-ventilation which combine to lower the condo’s electricity consumption.

The approval came more than two months after the neighboring municipality of Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur sanctioned the project. Host barangays Binugao (Davao City) and Inawayan (Sta. Cruz) also issued separate resolutions giving their bless-ing to the project last April. “The positive outcome of the council’s deliberations reconfirms the joint effort of the public and private sectors in solving the power situation in Davao City in particular, and Mindanao in general,” noted APC president Erra-mon Aboitiz Government estimates earlier showed that unless power generation is increased in Mindanao, the region will soon face a shortage. By 2014, the shortage will be around 480 MW—enough to cut the entire power supply of the cit-ies of Davao, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, Zamboanga and Butuan. APC assured that its coal plant would provide long-term solution to the power problem, and that the plant would be safe to operate. APC said Therma South will utilize clean coal technol-ogy to reduce harmful emis-sions to the environment.

Tan added, “This trans-formation will increase our network capacity, as well as build up network resiliency and availability through ar-chitecture enhancements, improved hardware and network intelligence, as we continue to keep up with the increasing demand for voice and data use.” Apart from upgrades on its transmission systems and installation of protected fiber connectivity in critical areas in the country, Globe has invested and partnered with multiple cable systems for diversity and service resil-iency for both international data and voice. To date, Globe utilizes 5 submarine cable systems in the country, allow-

The upgrade utilized an automatic switch optical network protection which ensures network systems re-main reliable and fully stable, especially in anticipation of the rainy season ahead. To complement the upgrade, Globe also made significant improvements in its disaster recovery plan to prevent network disruptions during natural calamities, as well as to execute faster restoration time when services become severely affected. Globe expanded its fiber optic coverage in the Min-danao region and imple-mented added protection for its transmission backbone in

Zamboanga. It also complet-ed its network modernization project in South Luzon to improve network capacity and quality for mobile and wireless broadband services. “These are important pieces in our network en-hancement initiatives to fur-ther improve on our service. We are also implementing a network modernization program to transform our network into a multi-ser-vice platform that is fully-redundant for uninterrupted, seamless and consistent net-work connectivity. In line with giving our subscribers a superior experience, our modernization program will

By 2013, the company’s newest submarine cable investment, the Southeast Asia Japan Cable (SJC) System, is ex-pected to go online to further increase network capacity and quality. With network quality as top priority for the company, Globe earlier announced that a substantial portion of its 2011 CAPEX amounting to US$500 million will be allo-cated to build up capacity, as well modernize and optimize network infrastructure. The significant investment will also include the commercial deployment of the country’s first and biggest 4G mobile network by initially utilizing the global standard HSPA+, which provides subscribers with high speed broadband access with the added conve-nience of full mobility.

AFTER a month since GT Cosmetics Manufacturing’s fan page debuted in Face-book, 529 people already clicked on its “like” icon. Genuine users have found their way to the site since April, having discovered a way to share experiences regarding the company’s beauty products. The fan page is a one-stop shop for product infor-mation, as well as, testimo-nial for regular users. GT with its growing following across a wide age and gen-der bracket has recognized the power of social media to access a more direct feedback from its clientele. A two-tiered promo was also launched last month to attract more users for GT. Tier one, a user only has to type in “GT and Me” in his or her FB account and click the “like” icon when the page pops-up. But that’s just for starters: When a fan posts his or per image with a GT product on the page, he or she gets a reward. Tier Two, the user may tag in one sitting 50 of his friend’s and get even more rewards. The promotion is na-t ionwide and includes all GT products such as

Bleaching, Carrot, and Pa-paya Soaps, Moisturizing Day Cream, Bleaching Sun-block Cream, Whitening Sunblock Cream, and Clari-fiance Toner. Designated redemption centers will be posted in Facebook. Winners are announced weekly in Facebook and prizes are sent directly to the winners. Already, comments on GT’s efficacy are pouring in: Jet Garigade has com-mented, “I’m using GT Cosmetics for more than a year already. I’ve decided to use it for life.” Peterlina de Cadiz has this to say - “I’m 62 years of age this coming JUNE 28, 2011 but i syill look young when i used your products! I love GT products because my melasma sa face ko natang-gal especially when I used the clarifiance, bleaching cream, moisturizing cream && carrot soap. Thanks to your GT products. more power && GodBless ...” GT must have made good feedback that yet another user, Christyn Altres, gave meaning to the initials GT: “’GOD’S TALENT,GOOD TIDINGS’ thats the mean-ing of GT.”

Any Regrets?

BSP and you

Return of Haute cuisines

editor: nelson ConstantinoOpinion

turned this stolen money were so happy and relieved to finally be free from their guilt. Feeling guilty is actu-ally a good sign, because it means our conscience is healthy. But then we must follow our conscience and do the right thing to try and right our past wrongs. Oth-erwise, we will keep living with our painful guilt and regret. Maybe it’s apologizing and telling someone you’re sorry because you wronged and hurt them. Or paying back money and things you’ve stolen. You might need to forgive someone else who wronged and hurt you, because you realize now that being right is not as impor-tant as your friendship with that person, or worth living with anger and unforgive-ness in your heart.

But just as important as it is to try and right our past wrongs with others, doing these things alone cannot make us right and give us peace with our Maker, God. Just like drinking Diet Coke doesn’t take away all the calories in the French fries and ice cream we just ate. This is why Jesus Christ is our only hope. Jesus Him-self said that the only way anyone can get completely free from their guilt and regrets to have peace with God their Maker, is we each must ask Jesus for His gift of forgiveness. Since you and I on our own cannot make all our past wrongs right by trying to be a good, even re-ligious person. If we could, then God the Son would not have needed to become a human being to die and pay the penalty for all our

wrongs. So won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you and set you free from all your guilt and regrets? Then ask Him to take full control of your life, so you can start living with a clear conscience and peace of mind for the rest of your life. Just think a minute…

closure. The BSP also performs the role of main bank to the Philippine government. As the government’s official de-pository, some of the tax col-lections, proceeds of the sale of government securities, and foreign loans are deposited with the BSP. Conversely, when the government needs to repay its foreign debts or disburse money to pay expenses, it withdraws its funds from the BSP. Since these government funds form a significant portion of the total depos-its in the financial system,

coordinating the timing of government deposits and withdrawals is a key factor in the Bangko Sentral’s overall management of money sup-ply. It is for this reason that all government entities, includ-ing the national government, need to secure a favorable opinion from the BSP prior to obtaining a loan, whether domestic or foreign. The BSP, likewise, imple-ments and maintains an ef-ficient payments and settle-ments system. Under the system, banks and non-banks with quasi-banking functions (NBQBs) could settle their

payments in real time. In addition to its regular tasks, the BSP is committed to its various advocacy pro-grams in promoting econom-ic and financial education, microfinance and small- and medium-enterprise develop-ment, culture and arts, and corporate social responsibil-ity initiatives. These advocacies posi-tively influence the lives of our countrymen especially those who want to learn more about how the economy works and look for ways to make their money grow; micro-borrowers who want to start their own business;

schoolchildren and future entrepreneurs; art lovers and museum enthusiasts; and the less fortunate who are in need of financial assistance. In conclusion, the BSP seeks to provide a solid an-chor for the economy, as well as leadership through chang-ing times. It aspires to touch the lives and mold the future of every Filipino.

FOOD served in small por-tions but numerous in cours-es are coming back in grand style all over the world. From the hiatus of the economic slum of 2009 where austerity measures were adapted by business, households and even seats of government, haute cuisines can be seen and experienced in royal gatherings, White House State Dinner or even the Malacañang version of Vin d’ Honour where the Pal-ace invites diplomats, foreign government head of missions and high profile dignitaries over cocktails and dinner. Private gourmand asso-ciations to high end formal restaurants have their own Escoffier (culinary special-ties) savored during the gath-erings of Toques de’ Blanc where nothing is talked about during the occasion but the food and the wine. Haute Cuisine which is literally French cooking fea-turing elaborate preparations and presentations done by a

large hierarchical staff from the Chef Entremiter for the appetizer or salad to the Chef d’ Partie for the portionment of the main entrees or courses while a higher rank Souse Chef deliver the final touch of cooking. The person who garnish the food and choose the right condiment is the Chef d’ Cuisine who makes sure it is ready for pick up by the Chef d’ Rung. Maitre d’ Hotels di-rect the sequence of service for the formal dining. It is a lexicon in dining arranged for the rich and famous. During formal dinner or royal banquet, the menu usually starts with the Hors d’ Oeuvres or Canapés which is served with a cocktail of light white wine or sparkling Burgundy before the meal. Haute Cuisines usually goes with two or three courses from light seafood to chicken or game fowls then to red meat cooked either braised or in oven called brunoise. Main courses are seasoned with

herbs occasionally followed by Sorbet which is also called in English dining as sherbet with a combination of fruits. Haute Cuisines is not complete without the Som-meliers or Wine Steward’s presence being the best per-son in formal dining who may suggest your choice of wines from the best vineyard of the world. Of course, all wine pro-ducing countries would claim they have the fair to excellent wine product, although, the Chateau Latour can still be traditionally considered as consistent, stylist and mascu-line which may stand above the rest. Women may prefer the Margo, a smooth Bor-deaux Claret for their ravish-ing scent. Both wines come from the town of Medoc in France. The myth that only the French wines are the best no longer holds true today in the age of globalization and free trades where product of one country may enter to

another country without un-dergoing trade facts provided customs tariff and duties are paid. Some people could also be genius by packing this perishable merchandise in Balikbayan boxes? There are good wines from Napa Valley in Cali-fornia or from the European Union countries which is sold in Asia. The Sauvignon Blanc varieties of Australia find their way to the Philippines. Filipinos that we are prefers tannin sweet flavor.

THINK a minute … In 1974, a retired U.S. soldier sent a note to the U.S. government that read: “I’m sending $10 for blankets I stole in World War II. My mind cannot rest until I do this.” He went on to say, “Sorry it’s late, but I want to be ready to meet God.” The U.S. government put that retired soldier’s $10 into what is called the Conscience Fund. This Con-science Fund receives about $45,000 each year from different soldiers who have finally been forced by their own guilty conscience to pay back money to the gov-ernment for the things they had stolen. So far, this spe-cial fund has received more than $3 million of returned stolen money! Regret is a powerful thing. The people who re-

with the public. Instead, the central monetary authority accepts deposits from banks and grants loans to banks by way of rediscounting. As the lender of last re-sort, the BSP provides loans or advances to banks in times of emergencies which directly threaten monetary and finan-cial stability. Even during normal times, the BSP may also grant emergency loans to individual banks suffering from temporary liquidity problems. This occurs when a bank cannot temporarily meet its immediate obliga-tions but the bank’s assets are still more than enough to cover its liabilities. I l l iquidity should be differentiated from a case wherein a bank is insolvent, i.e., its liabilities are more than its assets. Insolvency normally leads to a bank’s

(Conclusion)

IN the last two weeks, I have discussed how the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) plays a number of roles as it carries out its duties and responsibilities in the Philip-pine economy. As the country’s money supplier, the BSP has the sole authority and exclusive power to issue the Philippine peso. As the money manager, it makes sure that there is just enough money to meet the needs of the Philippine economy. As supervisor and regula-tor, the BSP regularly moni-tors and examines the opera-tions of banks, as well as non-banks which are performing quasi-banking functions, to ensure that they are healthy and fit to serve the public. As the bank of banks, the BSP does not deal directly

“In conclusion, the BSP seeks to provide a solid an-chor for the economy, as well as leadership through changing times. It aspires to touch the lives and mold the future of every Filipino.”

“A FATHER is the first im-age of God in the eyes of his children.” We all have warm memo-ries of our dads in the trea-sure chest of our hearts. My dad, the late Bert Gualberto, had a fondness for conversa-tions and discussions about any topic under the sun. We would spend many pleasant hours enjoying a lively ex-change of ideas. He was an avid reader and I acquired from him my love for books. My brother Bans remem-bers him as a smoker, and Bans said that every time our dad hugged him, he inhaled the sweet aroma of cigarettes. To this day, the scent of cigarettes never fail to give Bans a happy, fuzzy feeling. A father is someone you always look up to no matter how tall you grow. This is literally true in the Suan family. I’m quite tall for a Filipina, and my children have inherited my height. Jun, the father of our brood, complains that he is becoming the shortest mem-ber of our family. He enjoys cracking jokes even if the joke is at his own expense. In our family, we are never at a loss for an op-portunity to laugh. If there is nothing to laugh about, we good-naturedly laugh at each other. As a father, Jun is an ex-cellent provider and a spoil-er of the kids. His parenting style utilizes the positive and

loving approach. This leaves me the unpopular job of be-ing the disciplinarian. Dads are just ordinary men who willingly sacrifice themselves at the altar of suffering, because of the great love they bear for their families. As the leader and de-fender of the family, a dad is transformed into a hero, a champion, a superman in the admiring eyes of his children. It is every son’s fantasy to grow up and be like his dad, whom he idolizes. That’s why a father should carefully choose where he walks, be-cause his child is following closely in his footsteps. In his unblemished integrity, strict self-discipline, and the dignity of his labor, a father eloquently teaches his children how to live an honorable life. He silently imparts wisdom by his own example. One father is more effec-tive than a hundred school-teachers. A father should not only bring home the bread, but also the bread of life. Many fathers erroneously believe that their main responsibil-ity is to put food on the table and provide for the family’s basic needs. A frustrated father com-plained, “The whole day I slave away at work to give my family their material desires, and when I come home they still clamor for

my time and attention. Are they never satisfied?” Material things will nev-er satisfy. Your family wants you – their father, dad, papa, tatay. They yearn for your love, your presence, your attention, your time. All the material things in the world can never take the place of a loving dad. Be thankful that you belong to a family; that you have someone to slave and sacrifice for. Loneliness is a cold, dark dungeon. The best place to be... is in a happy family!

Formal dining is always con-cluded with sweet endings. Heav-enly recipes of pralines and decadent chocolate pastries are women’s weakness. Many known patisseries in Manila or in Cagayan de Oro have perfected their sweet shops and runs home delivery counters or caters to exclusive formal gatherings. But in this age of fitness gym and Spa cul-ture where people are particular with shape and sizes, the desert ceremony can be an option rather than a detail of the menu. Haute Cuisines needs hours of contemplation. Homebodies are reminded that the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. If you cannot take care of assembling a hierarchical staff to do the cooking, food trips atop Carmen Hill with your love ones are always a joy especially if it is more than the usual.

LAST week, I shared with you valuable insights into Dengue. Considering that the rains are really here, I am most inclined to touch on the FLU or what we com-monly call as the “ Common Colds”. This illness is caused by a Virus and can be highly contagious. That will account why, when one member of the family gets it, it would seem like everyone else in the household is sure to catch it! Air droplets from sneezing or coughing is the most com-mon mode of transmission. Thus the need for one who is infected, to cover the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing! The most common pre-sentation of the “ Flu” is still fever, which maybe high grade or moderate grade, with occa-sional chills, coughing, runny nose, body aches or muscle pains, loss of appetite, sore throat, and even diarrhea for some. Since this is viral, the disease , if uncomplicated may last for 3 to 5 days. This is a self limiting illness, and usually will resolve by itself. It is contagious or is capable of spreading , even a day prior

The FLU Scarein breathing, one needs to get medical consult. Treatment is usually symptomatic, mean-ing, address the presenting symptom like, antipyretics for fever, mefenamic acid for headache and the muscle pains. Plenty of liquids and rest. Antibiotics has no place here unless there is a second-ary bacterial infection. It is of note that as responsible citizens, when we are down with the FLU, we should stay at home and rest, cover our nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing, and constantly do the hand wash-ing the proper way. Vaccines? Yes, they are effective when given a month or two prior to the onset of the rainy season. However, the vaccines do not confer a lifelong immunity. It is advisable to be given on a yearly basis. Remember that the vaccine may contain a certain strain and may not be effective for other strains of the virus that cause the dis-ease. Thus, keeping one’s self healthy with proper nutrition, exercise, rest and less stress can minimize one’s suscepti-bility to the most commonly encountered viral disease.

to the manifestation of the disease and up to a week after its resolution. What needs to be remembered is that, for the very young or very old, and for those who have chronic illnesses like diabetics, and those that are immune-compromised like those who are sick with the BIG C, to be infected with the FLU Virus may require hospitalization or a more aggressive approach to treatment. There are what we call as WARNING SIGNALS, for such a mild disease as the common flu. When the fe-ver persists after three days, when there is that feeling of weakness despite the seeming improvement, and difficulty

power generation in the island. Mr. Mastura related how the American colonial government and later the post-war Philip-pine government adopted a “Reductive Policy” deliberately to give away Moro lands to set-tlers, former Huk rebels and agricultural colonies who were entitled to own bigger lands than even the native Moros and lumads themselves. “What is the implication of this policy on this issue?” Mr. Mastura asked. “How can Manila dictate on the patrimony of our natural resources?? He said this policy is analogous to the privatization of Agus and Pulangui hydroelectric plants which would henceforth be owned by Americans, Chinese and other foreign nationals.

Power...from page 1with civil society groups in this city. “Isn’t’ the heart of the issue about ancestral domain? Be-cause the patrimonial resources of the Bangsa Moro are at issue.” However, Mr. Mastura could not categorically cite the MILF position on the sale of the two hydroelectric plants since the matter still has to be deliber-ated upon by the MILF Central Committee. “It’s not so unusual what we are asking. It’s very reasonable and valid in international law and standards,” he said. “In terms of this I have answered your question indirectly. We do not want to answer what is the MILF policy because we have a Central Committee to answer to.” The Mindanao bloc of rep-resentatives in the Lower House and the Mindanao Coalition of Power Consumers have filed resolutions with the Joint Con-gressional Power Commission (JCPC) to defer the planned privatization of the hydro plants for another 10 years to prevent the expected increase in power rates following the sale which many believe would give the buyers a virtual monopoly of

“This is ownership decided by money of the shareholders. Who among you can put up millions? This is the meaning of privatization.” Mr. Mastura cited Article XIV of the MILF Final Work-ing Draft on Comprehensive Compact on Patrimony and Land Ownership. Section 7 of the cited article which provides that “land, natural resources and means of production may for purposes of socialization be transferred to public ownership or other forms of publicly con-trolled economy by a law which will provide for the nature and extent of compensation.” “With your vested right you will have power and wealth sharing which is covered by our

A pinch of LTE, a dash of HSPA+, and a dollop of Mbps: the perfect ingredients for a healthy serving of 4G alphabet soup. By far the most complex dish cooked up by the telco industry, the hodge-podge brings with it a bowlful of tech terms which can overwhelm even those with techie-est of taste buds. To make things worse, misinformation and false claims about the true meaning of 4G technology have been thrown around like poorly-concocted rumors whose sole purpose is to fan the flames of fiction. To help you waft through

Understanding the 4G Alphabet Soupthe fusion of confusion, here is a collection of the many let-ters, acronyms, and initialisms which give the next generation broadband broth its unique flavor.

First, the basics 4G literally means fourth-generation. It refers to the forthcoming evolution of to-day’s mobile networks which will allow them to transmit large amounts data in the fastest way possible. With 4G, you can enjoy faster download speeds on your mobile gadgets such as your laptop, your tablet, and soon, even your phone more so than you already do on a 3G (third-generation)

connection. As prescribed by the ITU (International Telecommuni-cations Union), the United Na-tions agency that governs the telecommunications industry, a wireless connection should be capable of transmitting data at speeds of at least 100 mega-bits per second—or mbps—for it to qualify as 4G.

Heavy on the LTE The technology most telcos around the world acknowledge to be the most logical step into 4G s LTE or otherwise known as Long Term Evolution. Given its unparalleled potential for operating at high speeds, LTE has been introduced in the

United States, Japan, and in Europe through the efforts of telecom companies Verizon, NTT DoCoMo, and TeliaSo-nera, respectively. In the Philippines, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) is the first and only telco to introduce LTE.

Adding to the mix Another technology which offers improved connection speeds is HSPA+ which stands for Evolved High Speed Packet Access. Smart has been test-ing HSPA+ technology since 2009 and like LTE, is ready to provide a better mobile and broadband Internet experience

Petitioner alleges that she is of legal age, Filipino, and a resident of Barangay Caromatan, Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte. She was born on January 2, 1990 at Barangay Caromatan, Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte. Her said birth was duly registered at the Respond-ent’s office as evidenced by her Birth Certificate.

Such erroneous entries may have inadvert-ently done by the one who entered the facts of her birth.

Gov. Oscar M. Moreno, CCBP CEO Bill Schultz and Villanueva Mayor Juliette Uy put their Coke bottles together during the June 7 launching of Coke’s new-est bottling plant at Villanueva, Misamis Oriental. (photo by Mike Baños, NPN)

VILLANUEVA, Misamis Oriental – The newest state-of-the-art bottling plant of Coca-Cola Bot-tlers Philippines, Inc.’s (CCBPI) here puts the environment first before profit. “Our Misamis Oriental plant is our first greenfield operation in almost 10 years, where we are building a plant from the ground up, instead of just up-grading existing facilities,” said CCBPI Chief Executive Officer Bill Schultz during the inauguration of the 11-hectare facility earlier this month. The facility is their first that is Silver-LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design)-certified, which is unusual as this certification is issued for residential sites, he added. LEED is an internationally rec-ognized green building certifica-tion system, providing third-party verification that a building was designed and built using strategies intended to improve performance in metrics such as energy savings,

Coke’s new bottling plant actively reducing carbon footprint

water efficiency, carbon dioxide emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts. Developed by the US Green Building Council, LEED is intended to provide building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solu-tions. To achieve a Silver certifica-tion, Coke’s Villanueva plant must achieve 33-38 points out of a 69-point scale that includes sus-tainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, material and resources, indoor environ-mental quality and an innovation and design category. “Sustainability is always part of the way we do business. From day one, when we were concep-tualizing this plant, we made the welfare of the environment and the local community our top prior-ity,” said Irial Finan, president of Coca-Cola’s Bottling Investments

Group. “Aside from its strategic location, the decision to build our newest plant on this site was also made based on the minimum impact it will have on the natural resources of the area as well as the surrounding communities,” he added.

Reduced footprint “In the broader context, throughout the country, environ-ment is one of our top priorities. And we take very significant measures to reduce our water usage and reduce our energy footprints,” Mr. Schultz said at the press conference following the inauguration program. He cited the Villanueva’s plant use of rice hull oil instead of tradi-tional gas generators for electric-ity generation and the significant reduction in water usage at other CCBPI plants. “We’ve reduced our water use by over 25% and this year we’re looking for more ways to reduce our water usage,” Mr. Schultz said. A significant component of those plans is the new plant’s 18,307-square-meter roof de-signed as a catchment for har-vesting rainwater which will then be stored in two 50,000 gallon cisterns. Mr. Schultz said the plant

On top of that, the plant also boasts of solid waste segregation, high efficiency mo-tors to reduce air pollution, LED (light-emitting diode) lighting fixtures and minimal use of air-conditioning. “The building itself is made of light and heat reflective material to maximize the use of daylight so we don’t need to have the lights on down below,” Mr. Schultz said. The lights themselves offer up to 65% energy savings, providing the same level of lighting at lower wattages, he said.

The same goes with WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Micro-wave Access), another network technology which Smart has made available commercially in 2010, which is capable of speeds of up to 40mbps.

The secret ingredients For a 4G network like Smart LTE to function ef-ficiently, an extensive in-frastructure of Fiber Optic Cables or FOCs is essential. FOCs are land-based cables which carry data from base stations or “cell sites”, to the core network. Smart and its parent com-pany, PLDT (Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co.), currently have over 42,000 kilometers of FOCs envel-oping Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The FOCs are ar-

Mr. Mastura related how the issue of water rights and use were a big issue in the upper valleys of Bangladesh and India where not only the benefits but the control and ownership over the rivers and their waters themselves were a major contro-versy. However, he promised the panel would raise the issue of the sale of the Agus and Pu-langui plants to the MILF Cen-tral Committee since a similar question was raised in Iligan City and the issue has strong implications on the financial sustainability of the Bangsa Moro State. “We will go to our Central Committee now that you’ve asked, we will take up the issue that you raised here,” he said. “We welcome this kind of issue because it brings to debate the economic policies that we would realize now when we ask for autonomy.”

One session will also deal with the effect of an open-skies policy in the city’s economy. Pasawa hopes the conference will promote other business poten-tials in the city. In the first-quarter of 2011 tourism, housing and property development were among the top investments in the city. The city is hoping to snag in-vestments in recreation and sports facilities particularly in building convention centers, light manufac-turing, transshipment, environmen-tal protection, agri-business and food-processing.

“Sustainability must not be just a dream, but something that will be real-ized with association from the people,” Director Galinato emphasized. The National Greening program is a DA-DENR-DAR convergence ini-tiative, the goal of which is resource conservation and protection of our environment thus mitigate climate change and to encourage productivity enhancement. This convergence of various government agencies, foremost of which are the Department of Agricul-ture, Department of Environment and Natural Resources and Department of Agrarian Reform, aims to anchor on the government goal of reducing poverty and food security as well. The greening system according to Governor Calingasan is one way of protecting the headwater sources of the province, preserving the water-shed especially in the Kitanglad and Pantaron Mountain Ranges. “Without trees, there’s no water. No water, we have no crops. Without crops, we will have nothing to eat. We must do our share to plant more trees

He said private sector power investments are most welcome particularly as the government is now barred from investing in power generation projects with the enactment of the EPIRA Law (Electric Power Industry Reform Act). Aboitiz Power is investing in a P25-billion coal fired plant which is expected to produce 300-mega-watts. Despite vehement objec-tions from environmentalists, the City Council of Davao and the Municipal Council of Sta Cruz unanimously approved the said project which is located on the boundaries of the two neighboring local government units. Meanwhile, De Guzman said that the government is conduct-ing another energy audit this July. This would start with a spot check of government offices and agen-cies in order to check if they have complied with energy conservation measures. (pia 11/rg alama)

The Department of Agricul-ture - Mindanao Rural De-velopment Program (DA-MRDP) launched recently in Quezon City the book entitled Improving Lives.

Improving Lives is a compendium of stories of how the second phase im-plementation of MRDP has made an impact on the lives of rural folks in Mindanao since it started in 2007.

Agriculture Secretray Proceso J. Alcala led the launching who presented the book to the World Bank Senior Operations officer and MRDP Co-task team Leader Felizardo K. Virtu-cio, Jr.

Among the salient sto-ries in the book were those of the farmers in Sulop, Davao del Sur who went

DA Launches Improving Livesback to rice farming af-ter the Program and the Provincial and Municipal governments have put up an irrigation system that is now serving 100 hectares of rice field.

Other heart-warming stories were those of the poor rice farmers in Zam-boanga del Sur who were able to liberated themselves from huge debt from infor-mal-lenders or financiers. Thanks to the funding as-sistance of the Program, they now manage their own small enterprise and financing loans to members of their organization.

The town of Limanon, Lanano del Norte was also featured having embraced all the major components of the Program and its suc-

cess in the impoemtna-tion of the environmental projects like stabilization of the Larapan River and the adaptation of coral transplantation technology.

While, Bunawan town in Agusan del Sur have proven that the Program’s capacity building activities aimed to better governance and improve management of resources will increase the local coffers which enabled them to roll out effectively the delivery of basic services.

are applying the com-munity driven develop-ment (CDD) procedures where the beneficiaries themselves identify the projects fit them,” said Ramos. “Most projects of the IPs belong to the food security interventions category in our menu like animal and crop produc-tion, organic farming and diversif ied farm-ing which are suitable to their cultural practices,”

Ramos added. To date, CFAD’s port-folio is pegged at P495.51 million with a total of 1,988 livelihood projects at various levels of imple-mentation. MRDP, now on its second phase under an adaptable program loan (APL) of the World Bank (WB), is set to be un-dergo mid-term assess-ment early next month.(Sherwin B. Manual/DA-MRDP)

Performing Health Program for three years all over Caraga Region. The governor likewise said the distinction was grounded on the establishment of 101 Botika ng Barangay (BNB s) as of last year 2010.

Delivered before fellow government officials at the Provincial Capitol in Butuan City, Gov. Amante said he believes that a healthy com-munity would mean less medicine expense for his constituents. He said that since the start of his term in office, he was already looking forward to upgrading the facilities of the provincial hospital. Mr. Amante said reported that the province received a distinction of being the Best

He also attributed this to the availability of new born screening services at the pro-vincial hospital and selected rural health centers. On nutrition, Agusan del Norte has given supple-mentary food to 781 under-weight children, enabling the province to gain high mark in nutrition program imple-mentation all over the region

in 2010. On women’s health, the province of Agusan del Norte was able to conduct pre-natal checkup to 5,685 or 58.9% of the total number of pregnant women. He recalled that last year, 5,062 or 63% of 7,927 babies were born in the province’s health centers and the pro-vincial hospital.

Our Ham ProductsThe famous SLERS Jamon de Cagayan also known as Legham is prepared the old- fashioned way: a long process of salt curing and natural smoking. This ham is fully cooked packed in a “katcha” cotton bag ready as a giveaway present or to eat.

Country Style Ham, the flagship product of SLERS, is prepared naturally and dry-cured in salt, smoked over fragrant hardwoods, and is aged at least six months. A perfect addition to your dining table during special occasions, festivities, and Christmas Holidays.

Picnic Ham, also known as pork shoulder, undergoes the same smoking process that gives it that distinct taste inherent in ham but is served with the skin on providing it with a unique texture.

The SLERS Pearshaped Ham, visibly unique, is distinctively cured to bring out a special type of sweet-ness, with just the right amount of salt to give this tender meat its unmistakable great taste.

Beef Pastrami is naturally smoked, rolled and garnished with generous amounts of ground black pepper and other spices. This extraordinary dish is great on its own.

Sweet ham, as the name suggests, is thinly sliced ham that will delight the entire family with its lovely texture and sweet flavor.

Navigation and SuperFerry’s services as part of one bigger company. For each stop, there will be videoke challenges and

dance competitions, while special promos on tickets are being offered. “Our base fare of P200 makes a great travel option compared to other alterna-tives. Both Negros Naviga-tion and SuperFerry will continue to provide better promo offerings for pas-sengers, ang tunay na star ng biyahe” said Stephen Tagud, Negros Navigation and Su-perFerry Vice President for Sales and Marketing.
