Fa c e d w i t h a n increasingly long line of habitués queuing up at Vanityworks,

founder Roselle Paras decided it was time to turn over a new leaf so now Vanityworks is not just a Salon and Spa but has the Sweet Leaf Café as well.

“Our new tea cafe for waiting clients and clients who want to extend their pampering and relaxation to bonding with friends or some me time sipping our healthy tea drinks,” says Roselle.

The pocket tea café can accommodate up to twenty in comfy benches or tables al fresco whiling away your time waiting with healthy favorites like Wintermelon or Dark Chocolate milk tea with choice floaters like rock salt and cheese and tasty sinkers l ike aloe vera, egg pudding, coco jelly or tapioca pearls.

“ In l ine wi th our Health and Wel lness paradigm of beauty, Sweet Leaf recommends organic fruit teas like Passion Fruit with Yakult or Grapefruit Yakult with Aloe Vera, just one of the many options our habitués can enjoy while waiting for their turn,” Roselle says.

And the Sweet Leaf Tea Café ain’t all the new leaf that’s turning in Vanityworks.

“We would like it to be known as a one stop destination for beauty and relaxation, offering salon services like haircut, color and rebonding, and spa services l ike our signature Essential European Facial, and our popular wax ing t reatments .” Rosel le explains. “New services inc lude the yummy smelling Chocolate Mint Foot spa (PhP 400, or PhP480 with pedicure),

the skin smoothening Milk and Almond Body scrub, and the Organic Whitening Body scrub (PhP1, 000) us ing al l n a t u r a l w h i t e n i n g ingredients like papaya.

Besides our free wi-fi, we’d like to believe Vanityworks is a cut above your usual salon and spa because of its exclusive privacy and ambience, she notes.

“Our spa and salon areas are separate and we have rooms to ensure utmost privacy. Our footspa area is also inside the spa area, so clients won’t feel shy about baring their feet.”

In another nod at exclusivity, Vanityworks ut i l i zes h igh qual i ty products like Babor from Germany for our facials.

“This is what high end spas in Manila and all over the world use, but we charge just half of what they do. We only

use L'OREAL for our hair services and imported brands fo r our na i l polishes like Faceshop (Korea) and Maybelline, Loreal, Revlon and Wet N' Wild (from USA).”

“On top of that , we are the only one in the metro using the r o l l e r h e a d w a x i n g technique, and the Clean and Easy Waxing brand from the US which ensures a temperature controlled and faster waxing experience,” Roselle says. “By October, we will be introducing a new and unique service cal led the “Bamboo Massage” which will be another exclusive first from Vanityworks.”

V a n i t y w o r k s w i l l b e o p e n i n g i t s f i r s t f r a n c h i s e d b r a n c h i n t h e H e a l t h a n d W e l l n e s s Z o n e o f A y a l a ’ s C e n t r i o b y the last quarter of this year.

And what a Sweet Leaf it is!

SATURDAY-SUNDAY | AUGUST 25-26, 2012

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Jollibee Foundation, Inc., the social respon-sibility arm of one of the country’s largest food conglomerates, and Sa-gip Saka, an advocacy program of the Office of Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, the Depart-ment of Agriculture (DA), and the Congressional Oversight Committee for Agriculture and Fisher-ies Modernization (CO-CAFM) signed on Tuesday afternoon a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to provide P11.8 million worth of assistance to agricultural communities in eight provinces around the Philippines. Also included in the partnership and memo-randum signing were the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and the National Livelihood Development Corporation (NLDC). The funds will be used to provide post-harvest facilities such as rain shelters, transportation vehicles, and tractors; agricultural equipment such as water pumps for irrigation; inputs; and other forms of assistance that are aimed to increase the productivity and in-come of onion, red pep-per, tomato, and lettuce farmers. Recipient com-munities come from Vi-gan, Caoayan, and Sinait in Ilocos Sur; Alaminos, Alcala, Bani, and Aguilar in Pangasinan; Tarlac City, Tarlac; Alabat, Qu-ezon Province; San Jose City, Nueva Ecija; Santa Josefa, Agusan del Sur; Mati, Davao Oriental; and Impasug-ong, Bukidnon.

Jollibee Foundation, Sagip Saka ink agreement to support farmers

Over 400 farmers and their families in 13 sites in the eight provinces wil l benefit from this program. According to Pangili-nan, “Sagip Saka [is] our advocacy that aims to achieve sustainable mod-ern agricultureand food security by transforming agricultural communities to reach their full poten-tial, improving farmers’ and fishers’ quality of life, and bridging gaps through public-private partnerships… Based on our experience, Sagip Saka has been a good example of the power of public-private partner-ships for rural develop-ment, because it brings back the dignity and the primacy of the Filipino farmer. It also strives to uplift the quality of life of our farmers and

fisherfolk.” The lawmaker, who chairs the Senate Com-mittees on Agriculture and Food, and Social Jus-tice and Rural Develop-ment, also explained the seven “cornerstones” or “pillars” of Sagip Saka. These are: (1) providing access to investments and credit; (2) opening access to market; (3) rolling out infrastructure; (4) strengthening research and development; (5) organizing farmer com-munities and coopera-tives; (6) ensuring the quality and consistency of supply; and (7) miti-gating the risks brought about by climate change. “Local agriculture has been asleep for three dec-ades—which is why we are lagging behind our neighbors such as Taiwan, Malaysia, South Korea,

and Thailand… Whiel these countries have been busy modernizing their agricultural sector and ensuring productivity in the countryside, our leaders, for the most part, have made empty promises and have failed to deliver on their com-mitments.” “Sa kahuli-hulihan, kulelat pa rin ang Pilipi-nas pagdating sa agri-kultura. Hindi na puwede ang ganito,” Pangilinan said in Filipino. The senator likewise pointed out that Sagip Saka was inspired by the success of Jollibee Foun-dation, Inc.’s intervention with an onion farmers’ cooperative in Nueva Ecija. “The success of JFI’s intervention on the Kala-sag Farmer’s cooperative gave us a good template

for this type of public-private partnership. In the end, both the farm-ers’ group and Jollibee benefited from this be-cause Jollibee was able to get a steady and reliable source of onions, while the farmers were able to substantially increase their incomes by going direct to the market.” “We hope to repli-cate the success of the Jollibee-Kalasag partner-ship across all Sagip Saka communities and make an impact in the lives of our farmers. This is the only way to ensure the sustain-ability of our agricultural programs and likewise ensure food security. We thank Jollibee and the rest of our private sector partners for leading the way and showing that it can be done,” Pangilinan concluded.

Agreement signed to benefi t farmers. Seated behind the table are (L-R): Joe Curry, Country President of Catholic Relief Services; Gondolina Amata of the National Livelihood Development Corporation; Grace Tan-Caktiong, President of Jollibee Foundation, Inc.; Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, Chairman of the Senate Committe on Agriculture and Food and Chairman of the Congressional Over-sight Committee on Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization (COCAFM); Senen Bacani, Board of Trustee of Jollibee Foundation, Inc.; Joseph Tanbuntiong, President of Red Ribbon Bakeshop; Belen Rillo, Vice President of Jollibee Foundation, Inc., with benefi ciaries of Sagip Saka.

DOTC assures Congress of effi cient use of public moneyThe DOTC led by Sec. Mar Roxas told the House Appropriations Committee chaired by Cavite Rep. Joseph Emilio Abaya that its 2013 proposed budget of P32.747 billion is 5% lower than its current budget of P34.571 billion. The difference is largely due to the reduction in the agency’s Capital Outlay for its proposed 2013 projects from the current P20.384-billion to P16.409-billion 2013 proposal. The 2013 Capital Outlay in-cludes the Philippine coast guard's locally-funded projects amounting to P225.074-million for the construction/repair/rehabilitation of lighthouses nationwide. The DOTC allocation under the Priority Social and Eco-nomic Projects Fund is P3-billion. “It is our policy to pursue pro-grams that will make use of public funds in the most productive and effi cient ways. Our decisions are based on effi cient use of the people’s money and not on political considera-tions,” Roxas assured members of the Abaya panel. The DOTC Secretary revealed that for 2013, locally-funded pro-jects would total P14.407-billion which include the P5.116-billion subsidy for mass transit (MRT 3), the P2.575-billion Project Development Funds for Public-Private Partnership Transport Infrastructure Projects, and the P2-billion LRT Line 2 East Extension (to Masinag). The DOTC foreign-assisted projects would total P7.879-billion, and these include the following: 1) LRT Line 1 Cavite Extension (P3.272-billion); 2) Multi-Role Re-sponse Vessel Acquisition Project (P1.5-billion); 3) Maritime Disaster Response Helicopter Acquisition Project for P465.9-million; 4) Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System for Cebu City for P975-million); 5) New Bohol (Panglao) Airport Development Project worth P867.1-million; and the 6) Puerto Princesa Airport Develop-ment Project at P798.8-million. According to DOTC USec for Planning Atty. Rene Limcaoco, the consolidated 2011 actual income collected by the agency and its of-fi ces were remitted to the National Treasury in the amount of P15.4-billion. “We have exceeded our 2011 target by 2%. For 2012, our target is P15.9 billion and as of the 1st semester, we have already collected P9.3-billion. For 2013, our target is P16.5 billion or 4% more than our projected income this year,” Limcaoco revealed.

HOW & WHEN TO PRAISE Sylvio C. Carciller, Ph.D.

Praising employees can be a powerful motiva-tor. But managers need to know how and when to praise.

Here are some tips:■ Be unpredictable with the timing of your praise.

Using routine gatherings, such as regular staff meetings, for praise will dilute the impact over time.

■ Know the people you are praising and react ac-cordingly. Some workers need and enjoy regular public praising. Others may resent it and may prefer private praise.

■ Don’t use praise to soften criticism. This weakens the effect of your criticism and may cause resent-ment.

■ Be enthusiastic when you praise. Don’t make praising sound like a perfunctory part of your job.

■ Be specific. “You did outstanding work on that demo teaching, Jonh” means much more than “Great job, John.”

FURNISHING a workspace for your child ensures that they have a proper place to do their homework.

It is a good idea to orga-nize the workspace before the school year begins so that they have had time to get familiar with it, and you can know in advance if you need to make changes.

The components of a child-friendly workspace are pretty similar to an adult-friendly workspace. They just need to be more appealing to your child and be the right scale.

Furnishing a Workspace for Your ChildStudent Desk : You need

a simple student desk as the center of the workspace. With less bulky computer equipment, it can be a small and narrow desk. Just make sure there is room to do homework on it. Unless your child is using a desktop, you may not even need a pull out keyboard shelf, but drawers are useful. A hutch on top or shelving in the base are also good features to have.

Height Adjustable Chairs : It is important to pro-vide a comfortable, height adjustable chair. It can be

very basic but being able to adjust for height is im-portant. A swivel feature will make it easy for your child to reach for objects, and a comfortable seat is important for sitting for long periods of time.

Storage : Storage is an important component of any workplace, and it is no different for a child. There should be enough drawers, shelves, and containers for holding all the papers and tools. If the desk doesn’t come with a hutch you can mount shelves on the wall

to save floor space. Pro-vide drawers and storage containers.

Lighting : Table lamps or task lamps are good to have even if you have overhead lighting. It is easier on the eyes as the light can be directed towards the task at hand instead of lighting up the entire room.

Dry Erase Boards : Dry erase boards are good to have because they keep projects and deadlines organized, especially for older kids. (Abe Abbas, About.com Guide)

ALMOST 100% of the ob-served temperature increase over the last 50 years has been due to the increase in the atmosphere of green-house gas concentrations like water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and ozone.

Greenhouse gases are those gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect.

The largest contributing source of greenhouse gas is the burning of fossil fuels leading to the emission of carbon dioxide.

The greenhouse effectWhen sunlight reaches

Earth’s surface some is ab-sorbed and warms the earth and most of the rest is radi-ated back to the atmosphere at a longer wavelength than the sun light.

Some of these longer wavelengths are absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere before they are lost to space. The ab-sorption of this longwave radiant energy warms the atmosphere.

Cause and effect for global warming

These greenhouse gases act like a mirror and reflect back to the Earth some of the heat energy which would otherwise be lost to space.

The reflecting back of heat energy by the atmo-sphere is called the “green-

house effect”.The major natural green-

house gases are water vapor, which causes about 36-70% of the greenhouse effect on Earth (not including clouds); carbon dioxide CO2, which causes 9-26%; methane, which causes 4-9%, and ozone, which causes 3-7%.

It is not possible to state that a certain gas causes a

certain percentage of the greenhouse effect, because the influences of the vari-ous gases are not additive.

Other greenhouse gases include, but are not limited to, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, hydrofluoro-carbons, perfluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons.Global warming causes

by greenhouse effectGreenhouse gases in

the atmosphere act like a mirror and reflect back to

the Earth a part of the heat radiation, which would otherwise be lost to space.

The higher the concen-tration of green house gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the more heat energy is being reflected back to the Earth.

The emission of carbon dioxide into the environ-ment mainly from burning of fossil fuels (oil, gas, pet-rol, kerosene, etc.) has been increased dramatically over the past 50 years. (http://timeforchange.org)

THE Philippines’ largest na-tional flag carrier, Cebu Pa-cific (PSE:CEB) was named third best budget airline in Asia in the 2012 Best in Travel Poll, conducted by readers of SmartTravelA-sia.com.

Representing the Phil-ippines, CEB bested other budget airlines such as Tiger Airways, Spice Jet, IndiGo and Virgin Blue.

On its 8th year, the 2012 Best in Travel Poll is a three-month poll based on actual experience, word-of-mouth and brand image.

Those who voted were travelers who took an aver-age 16.22 annual air trips, with roughly 70% based in Asia, 15% in UK/Europe and 15% in USA/North America. SmartTravelAsia.com is the only dedicated travel magazine for Asia, with over 1 million unique visitors annually.

According to the Smart-TravelAsia.com, “Readers spot ‘aspirational’ brands and offers unique insights into brand perceptions and trends…. The May-July 2012 poll offered no premium. Our interest was in securing the participation of genuine travelers.”

CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog said, “We are proud to be the only Philippine carrier recognized in the survey by global travelers, who continue to inspire

MOBILE PHONE operator Sun Cellular raised its net service revenues by a robust 17% the first half of 2012, earning Php10.2 billion versus Php8.7 billion for the same period last year, the highest growth rate for any local telco this year.

Sun Cellular President and Chief Executive Of-ficer Orlando Vea attributed the company’s strong first half results to further increasing sales of postpaid subscriptions and positive consumer take up on their new prepaid load variants, increase demand in broad-band products and the marked improvement of Sun’s network coverage powered by its synergy with parent company, PLDT.

Revenue growth for the company’s Postpaid, Pre-paid, and Broadband segments all posted double-digit growth rates which combined led to Sun Cellular’s continuing to blaze the path for the local telecom industry.

“We have built on our growth momentum in the first quarter of the year. We are now reaping the rewards of the synergies between companies in the PLDT wireless group, as it adds more value to our ex-isting services such as postpaid offerings and prepaid load variants, among others,” Vea said.

Vea added that the network improvements will continue and they will lend more focus this time to enhancing network quality. Since the start of the year, Sun Cellular has enhanced its coverage, with the high-est marked improvement in Mindanao and Northern Luzon. Vea says, Sun will continue deploying high-gain antennae as well as upgraded network elements to meet the growing demands for its postpaid and prepaid products and services.

Elaborating on Sun Cellular’s first half perfor-mance, Chief Operating Officer Charles Lim pointed to the increase in demand for affordable smartphones that come with best-value plans.

“Sun Cellular is committed to providing power-ful yet affordable Android-based smartphones to its customers. With the right Sun Postpaid Plan, con-sumers will now be able to expand their horizons in mobility and go beyond simply calling and texting.” Lim explained.

In Prepaid, Sun Cellular introduced new load variants in its Text Unlimited and Combo Loads that has seen good acceptance by the market.

“Sun continues to be a practical choice for Pre-paid customers because of its improving network and great value products, hence they are starting to use their lines more often. As a result, people are start-ing to load in higher denominations.” Lim explained. “Of course our Call and Text Unlimited load variants are still there and are now complemented with more added features, making it the best-value unlimited variant in the market. As you know we continue to strive in providing best value services that cater to all market segments, including small and medium busi-nesses,” he added.

Sun’s Wireless Broadband base also grew signifi-cantly during the period. “ We are expecting these numbers to rise steadily as we expand the reach of our 3G network nationwide” Lim said.

He added that Sun Broadband started offering Group plans, Multi-SIM plans, and SIM-only plans to cater to subscribers who want to use Sun Cellular’s broadband service in their various gadgets, in antici-pation of the continuing growing demand for broad-band access.

“We would like to make sure that our existing and potential subscribers are able to take advantage of the synergies available within the PLDT group, and we are glad that these are starting to pay off,” Lim con-cluded.

CEB voted 3rd best Asian budget airline in 2012 Best in Travel Poll

us to innovate, extend our reach and share the Filipino brand of service.”

CEB flew more than 6.9 million domestic and international passengers in the 1st half of 2012, a 17% system-wide growth com-pared to the same period last year. It aims to serve a total of 14 million passengers for the full year 2012.

Its trademark lowest fares will be made available on new routes, as CEB plans to launch 5 domestic routes in October, and 3 domestic routes and 2 international routes (Hong Kong – Iloilo and Singapore – Iloilo) in November 2012.

CEB’s route network in the Philippines remains

the most extensive, allow-ing foreign and local tour-ists to visit two to three Philippine tourist spots in one trip. These new routes include Kalibo (Boracay) – Davao and Cebu – Busuanga (Coron).

For bookings and inqui-ries, guests can go to www.cebupacificair.com, or call the reservation hotlines (02) 7020-888 or (032) 230-8888. The latest seat sales can also be found on CEB’s official Twitter and Facebook pages.

In its 16th year of opera-tions, CEB has flown over 65 million passengers. It provides access to the most extensive network in the Philppines, with 32 domestic and 19 international des-

tinations. The airline also remains a pioneer in the Philippine aviation industry by being the first to offer web check-in, self check-in, e-ticketing, and Lite Fares.

CEB currently operates 10 Airbus A319, 21 Airbus A320 and 8 ATR-72 500 aircraft. Its fleet of 39 air-craft – with an average age of 3.6 years – is one of the most modern aircraft fleets in the world. Between 2012 and 2021, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of 21 Air-bus A320 and 30 Airbus A321neo aircraft orders. It is slated to begin long-haul services in the 3rd quarter of 2013, with the arrival of 4 Airbus A330 aircraft from 2013 to 2014.

Sun Cellular leads industry growth at 17% year on year

THINK a minute.Have you noticed that

one of the first things a doc-tor does when he examines you is ask you to stick out your tongue.

It’s sometimes possible to know what’s wrong in-side a person’s body just by looking inside a person’s mouth.

Some diseases and sick-nesses can actually be seen on a person’s tongue.

In fact, our tongue gives away many other things about us.

Our accent and way we talk shows where we’re from.

Our tongue also reveals what’s inside our heart and mind.

We usually talk about the things we really care

Think A Minute

Jhan Tiafau HurstJhan Tiafau Hurst

Stick out your tongue

about, such as money, sta-tus, food, gossip about oth-ers, or sports.

But even more than our words and actions, it’s our reactions that show what kind of person we really are inside.

Most of the time we can be good actors and control our tongue, especially when we want to impress and look good in front of others.

So we carefully choose

our words before we say them. But then if somebody suddenly wrongs and hurts us, we may react quickly out of anger and try to hurt them back with unkind words.

It’s in those unexpected pressure times that you and I show what is really in our heart by what comes out in the words on our tongue.

We s h ow ou r t r u e feelings of anger, pride,

prejudice, or unforgive-ness, which we usually hide under the nice mask or act we put on in front of others.

But Jesus Christ loves us and knows we cannot clean and change our talking un-til we’ve first cleaned and changed our heart inside. Just like clean water cannot come out of a water tank that’s dirty inside, Jesus already sees what we are inside our heart and mind.

He also knows that we are not able to change our heart by ourselves.

So why not ask Him to take control of your life, so He can start cleaning and changing your heart today and for the rest of your life?

Just Think a Minute.

SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO are peo-ple recorded in the book of Daniel Chapters 1–3, known for their devotion to God.

In particular, they are known for being saved from the Babylonian execution of being burned alive in a fi ery furnace.

Nebuchadnezzar set up this huge golden image and required all his people to worship it. When it was completed, Nebuchadnezzar sends for the leaders of all the people and all the rulers to attend the dedication of the image.

The k ing’s warning stresses “ Whoever does not fall down and worship it will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.” (Daniel 3:6).

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego paid no attention to the notice of the King.

This made the heart of Nebuchadnezzar made harsh. Who were these men to defy him and not bow to his demands? He in a fi t of rage orders them brought before him.

Th ey did not test the Lord with their stand, but stated plainly that God could de-

Even through the fire

liver them if He choose too, but if He did not it would not change their decision.

Th ey would not serve the king’s gods nor worship the golden image. Th ese young men were committed to the Lord and will not prevent them in their rejection of idolatry.

Nebuchadnezzar com-manded the most valiant of his soldiers to bind the Hebrews and cast them into the fi ery furnace.

Th e reason the king chose these men could have been for their loyalty because this was a dangerous assignment.

The soldiers tied the Hebrews up with all their clothes on including their hats and then cast them into the furnace.

To make sure the job was done correctly, the king came to the furnace and was

shocked to see four men inside the fl ames walking around.

He asks those with him if they had cast three men into the fi re and they answer that truly only three men were cast into the fi re. Nebuchad-nezzar then exclaims that he sees four, not three men walking around in the fi re.

Further he sees that they are not harmed by the fl ames and the fourth man “is like the Son of God.

Amazed by what he was witnessing the king came near to the mouth of the furnace and calls to the Hebrews to come out of the fi re.

Th e miracle was unmis-taken and Shadrach, Me-shach and Abednego walked out of the fl ames untouched by the fi re.

Th e Bible says not even

one hair on their heads was harmed and their clothes were unaff ected and there was not even the smell of smoke on them.

In response the king makes another decree that was directed at the high officials who had plotted against Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

He decreed that no one in the kingdom was to speak anything against the God of the Hebrew young men.

The punishment for breaking the king’s com-mand would be that the off ending person would be cut to pieces and they houses utterly destroyed.

Th ough the decree had some benefi t in protecting the Hebrews, it clearly did not ref lect the mind and heart of Almighty God.

God does not force men to serve Him nor honor forced obedience.

T hu s t he f a i t h of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego was justifi ed and Almighty God was glorifi ed by the faithfulness of these three young men who loved God and thought to obey him was more precious than even life itself.

Business with branches in various regions should pay Vat

REPUBLIC ACT 8424 or the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997 so that taxpay-ers should be amended so that branches of business establishments in the re-gions would pay their value added tax (VAT) and file their returns in revenue dis-tricts within those regions. This was a fine contention by a lawmaker.

The reason is simple: Branches of those firms are enjoying the local services of the local government units, according to Rep. Fer-

dinand Martin Romualdez (1st District, Leyte).

“Thus, it should follow that the VAT should be paid in the location of the business branches for the mutual benefit of LGUs,” said Romualdez.

Taxes are the lifeblood of the local government units, without which the government will become anemic. “Hence, the re-vision, amendment and

modification thereof are the order of the Filipino people,” he said.

In House Bill 6424, the amendment reads: “Except as the Commissioner oth-erwise permits, the return shall be filed with and the VAT paid to an authorized agent bank, Revenue Col-lection Officer or duly au-thorized city or municipal Treasurer in the Philippines located within the revenue district where the taxpayer is doing business.

Presently, the law pro-

vides the VAT payment and filing of tax returns shall be done within the revenue district where the taxpayer is registered or required to register.

This is why Makati has become a very rich city because big firms have their main offices in said city.

If the Romualdez pro-posal would be approved, other regions in the country would be able to generate more income and provide more services to its con-stituents.

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh… (Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in Mark 10:6-8, the Holy Bible).

-ooo-ATTY. LENY ROBREDO AS NEXT DILG CHIEF:

Here is an unsolicited advice to President Aquino and the Liberal Party, who are all furiously looking for ways to express their respect and admiration for deceased Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo: to accord Robredo their highest accolade, the President and his party must appoint his widow, Atty. Leny, as the next secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

As it is, the Filipino people are clamoring for a DILG secretary who will not only continue the reforms and directions that the departed secretary started, but who really knows Jesse’s heart and craving for honest and righteous service to his countrymen. Right now, the only one who can fulfill these qualifications is no other than Atty. Leny Robredo.

Appointing Leny will also squelch the raging fierce in-fighting among the President’s subordinates and supporters, and thereby spare his administration and the Liberal Party the pernicious and deleterious wran-glings of those interested in the position which, if left unchecked, could greatly prejudice the party’s chances in 2013, and even in 2016.

BANGON Kagay-an on Thursday (August 23) joins to honor the members of media, who were murdered in the historic Maguindanao Massacre, a shock and trag-edy which caught national and world wide attention.

History tells us the haz-ards of the business of trying to keep a citizenry informed of the events and issues affecting directly and/or indirectly their lives.

The quest for the truth has time and again dem-onstrated what it takes to “offer so MUCH including the laying down of one’s life and the sacrifice of giving up the comforts of life for SO So LITTLE.”

We join our friends in the media to the call for the truth as we seek it from all levels of governance and society so that justice , prosperity and equitability maybe achieved in further-ance of the interests of the people.

What truth would be best achieved if we cannot address the need and the weapon to have the freedom to be informed?

What truth could we best achieve if we cannot put into writing an enabling act to serve as our guide and vehicle to the furtherance of such information?

VERUELA, Agusan del Sur––Rice farmers in Barangay Sampaguita of this municipality recently turned into egg production for them to have a regular income.

“Rice farmers here only know two words: short or failure,” said Samuel Viñan, member of the Sampagu-ita Irrigators’ Association (SIA) referring to their usual yield in rice farming.

Viñan who owns a hectare and a caretaker of another five-hectare rice farms said rice farming is not enough to meet the daily needs of his family.

“We usually just have break-even and sometimes have very low yield due to pests and diseases in-cidence which could not even supply for our food consumption” he said.

The same situat ion holds true with other ir-rigators associations in the town. So they decided to look for alternative income to address low productivity in rice farming.

Their plan to have alter-

Egg production provides the crack for better incomenative livelihood was real-ized when the municipal agriculture office endorsed their proposal to the Min-danao Rural Development Program (MRDP).

MRDP is a specia l project under the DA and jointly funded by the World Bank, the national and local government units.

The program provides livelihood assistance to small farmers, rural wom-en, and indigenous tribe through its Community Fund for Agricultural De-velopment (CFAD).

Although several sug-gestions cropped up on what livelihood should be implemented, the egg-laying production prevailed considering that there is a high demand for fresh eggs in the local market.

“Local egg traders used to sourced out their stocks outside Veruela without assurance of its quality and safety. With this, the organization thought of supplying the local market not only to earn more but also to assure consumers

of fresh and better quality of egg products,” said agri-culture technician Paterno Dayaday.

With the help of the DA office in Region 13, the association availed themselves of P250, 000 funds from MRDP-CFAD to start up egg produc-tion project. The amount was used to purchase layer stocks, feeds, and biologics including construction of poultry cages.

Since the success of egg-production business depends on effective man-agement of layer farm, the municipal agriculture office conducted a hands-on training to better equip the association in handling their livelihood.

“We brought the SIA member to a poultry farm in the adjacent town of Sta. Josefa where they were exposed to poultry manage-ment from feeding, disease prevention and control, harvesting and storing including record keeping and marketing,” he added.

Viñan learned that his

role as the caretaker of the poultry farm is crucial in ensuring healthy and productive stocks. He also learned that right from the start, layer stocks must be of good quality.

“We feed our layers three times a day and provide them vitamins and neces-sary antibiotics through the assistance of the municipal and provincial agriculture technicians,” he said.

Layers must be kept healthy to be prolific and provide best quality eggs. Viñan said he is restrict-ing the number of persons entering the layer farm to avoid disease contamina-tion.

“My son acts as my re-liever in case I have fever or colds so we can keep our layers healthy,” he said.

Their efforts eventually paid off as their layer farm now yields at least 263 – 270 eggs per day.

“We are selling the large sized eggs at P140 per tray [or 30 pieces] and P130 for medium sized eggs,” he said.

As caretaker of the proj-ect Viñan gets 10 percent of their association’s income which gives him at least P3,000 – P4,000 monthly income which is a big help for him to meet his fam-ily’s needs.

“Before I can hardly pay the tuition fee of my children even if the school year is about to end. Now, they are fully paid as early as enrollment time,” he beams with pride.

He said other members are also reaping benefits from the projects such as meeting their daily con-sumption while some has even improved their houses and bought appliances like television set as well as motorcycle.

“We are g l a d t h at through the assistance of MRDP, DA regional office, and the provincial and local governments we were given the chance to improve their income,” he said.

Francisco Joseph, one of the board of trustees of the town’s council of irrigators’ association said

they are planning to make use of the poultry waste through vermicompost-ing so that they can also produce organic fertilizer for their rice farms.

“We are also exploring ways to formulate organic feeds to minimize operat-ing expenses. Once the association can pay back the amount they have ac-cessed from MRDP-CFAD we will extend the same financial assistance to other irrigators’ association in the town,” he said.

MRDP program direc-tor Lealyn Ramos said the initiative of SIA has proven that farmers can have good economic returns if they would try to diversify farm production.

“Farmers should not be dependent on one com-modity to overcome low productivity. The case of rice farmers in Veruela had proven that they can also handle egg-production and scale-up their meager income,” she said. (Noel T. Provido, DA-MRDP/RER/NCLM/PIA-Caraga)

Freedom and prosperity is only as good as how a citizenry can be informed and be involved.

As such, we need to join the call to the crying need to push for the weapon and preamble to carry it out.

Therefore, as we com-memorate and declare our resolve to be informed as a free natiuon, we also de-clare our solidarity with our friends in the media community to push for the approval of the “FREEDOM OF INFORMATION BILL” not in order to exercise the power to impose but to empower the people of this country to exercise the freedom and liberty that they need and for which their colleagues died for and for today’s generation to live for.

For God, family and country…. Amen. (Former City Councilor Bob Ocio, BKI Secretary General)

CAGAYAN de Oro City––Archbishop Antonio J. Ledesma yesterday urged civil society organizations and all concerned sectors to put pressure on the city government to immediately pass a “no-build zone” or-dinance “for the good of the entire city.”

Ledesma reiterated calls by various sectors for the immediate passage of an ordinance establishing a no-build zone in the city, eight months after the devastation wrought by Tropical Storm Washi (Sendong).

Pre s i d e nt B e n i g n o Simeon C. Aquino, dur-ing his visit on December 20, 2011, directed the city government to prohibit people from returning to areas the Mines and Geosci-ences Bureau (MGB) of the Environment department had earlier identified as “high-risk areas.”

These areas were sub-sequently identified by the President as no-build areas: Sitio Kala-Kala and Sitio Tambo, both in Barangay Macasandig; Isla de Oro in Barangay 13; Isla Delta 1 in Barangay 17; Isla Bugnaw and Isla Delta 2, located in Barangay Consolation.

These areas, he said, are permanent danger areas and therefore, are no longer habitable.

“That is for the good of

CSOs, concerned sectors urged to pressure city LGU to pass ‘no-build zone’ ordinance

LEDESMA

the potential residences of these areas. And also for the good of the entire city,” Ledesma said, referring to the needed ordinance.

Ledesma also urged the city government to “speed-up the process of reclassifi-cation of lands” in the city, noting that future Sendongs must be taken into account in the reclassification pro-cesses.

“We must implement the laws as there are so many national laws prohibiting people from residing in areas deemed dangerous,” Councilor Edgar Cabanlas said, adding that he will try his best to have such an ordinance passed by the City Council. Cabanlas is the second of only two op-

position legislators in the 16-member City Council.

Cabanlas also urged City Hall to immediately inves-tigate the “rumored” return of some people to areas declared as no-build zone in Barangay Consolacion and to strictly enforce the President’s directive.

In the Strategic Action Plan(SAP) for the Reha-bilitation and Recovery of the Areas Affected by Tropical Storm Sendong, the Regional Development Council in Northern Min-danao (RDC-X) said: “As part of the policy recom-mendations, enforcement of environmental laws, par-ticularly on prohibiting settlements in identified ‘danger zones’ stands out

as one urgent call.” It went on to list the areas already identified as danger areas by President Aquino.

“It must be noted that even prior to the President’s directive, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources recommended in 2009 to the City Govern-ment of Cagayan de Oro the relocation of the people liv-ing in Isla de Oro given that the area is considered high risk to flooding. Despite this, houses sprouted on Isla de Oro where it became a community to 500 families or roughly 7,000 people prior to the flash flood,” the SAP added.

The SAP identified “rap-id urbanization” as one of the culprits, along with “improper land use”, in the sprouting of communities in danger areas— floodplains, along riverbanks, as well as in other hazard-prone areas.

“With the burgeoning settlement (formal and in-formal) and commercial establishments in flood-prone areas, it is imperative to review land use planning and zoning starting from the barangay level. Development along high-risk areas must be strictly prohibited,” it recommended.

In its Policy Recommen-dations for Land Use, the SAP listed three: these are (a) inclusion of geohazard assessment data (maps and reports) in all development

her now are that, she is the widow of Secretary Jesse Robredo, she is the mother of three daughters, and that she is a practicing lawyer based in her hometown of Naga City.

Checking her person-al, official and academic background in the Inter-net would not even yield anything, and in this world gone loco about Facebook and other social networking sites, it would seem she does not even have any Face-book account in her name. Despite the glare of public attention surrounding her husband, it is clear that Leny has successfully maintained

ARIES: You might be proposed to join in a new partner-ship. You don’t have to decide today. You seem to be lacking practical sense and your decisions may be wrong. Pay more attention to your sentimental life! You are likely to spend a romantic evening with your loved one.

TAURUS: Today you may tend to be somewhat of a dreamer and neglect important issues. This is not the right time for starting new activities, for your practical sense is running quite low. You can succeed, provided you will accept the support of your friends and family.

GEMINI: You will feel inclined to criticize everybody around you. You are advised to remain cautious and avoid controversies with colleagues. Postpone any trip you have planned for today! Chances are you will achieve nothing. In the evening you may have guests from out of town. They may surprise you in a nice way.

CANCER: You could be on a state of confusion and un-able to make an important business decision. Today is not a favourable time for exams or business meetings. In the afternoon you might be offered a part-time job. Don’t rush signing a contract!

LEO: In the morning you will have to run several errands and change your schedule. You are advised to postpone dealing with diffi cult issues that require focusing. You will tend to be head-in-the-clouds and unable to fi nd suitable solutions. It is not adviseable for you to start any new activity today.

VIRGO: You intend to start a new business today, but you may be lacking practical sense. You are advised to wait until you will have a clearer picture of the situation. You could be facing minor health problems that will prove to be passing. In the afternoon you may want to deal with your loved one’s problems.

LIBRA: You will have to make an important decision regarding your love life, but you might be unable to make up your mind. You’d better rely on an older person’s advice. Avoid hot arguments! Today, they may easily turn into scandals. You are advised to accept a younger person’s support.

SCORPIO: You may learn that your plans for today are not very realistic. A close friend will ask for your help with a business. There may be a nice benefi t in it for you too. This is not the time for speculations of any kind. After a rather hectic day, you will spend a romantic evening with your loved one.

SAGITTARIUS: In the morning, you may feel confused and may misunderstand the advice of an older relative. Focusing may be diffi cult too. You are advised to deal with the most urgent issues. If you intend to buy a big ticket item, you may want to consider your loved one’s opinion on the subject.

CAPRICORN: Today you may be lacking practical sense, therefore you should not take on new responsibilities. You are not advised to deal with important issues, especially at work or in business.

AQUARIUS: In the morning you may not be in a very good mood. This is not a good time for taking risks. Your chances to succeed are rather thin today. If you are proposed to join in a new business partnership, don’t rush making a decision! You seem to be on a state of confusion, and your decisions may not be very inspired.

PISCES: You might not be very effi cient at work, for you seem to be lacking practical sense. You are advised to avoid controversies with colleagues and superiors. In the evening you are likely to pay a visit to friends and meet a special person whom you may fall in love with at fi rst sight.

a very low profile.In fact, in the stories

that mentioned her in the aftermath of reports that Secretary Jesse Robredo’s plane crashed in Masbate, and in the riveting drama that followed the search and rescue and, later on, re-trieval, operations launched by the Aquino government for him and his fellow pas-sengers, there was nothing about where Leny studied and graduated, when she became a lawyer, and what kind of cases she handled in her practice.

-ooo-APPOINTING LENY IS

GOOD FOR PNOY AND LP: But then, as the newly-created Facebook account which proclaims “Maria

Leonora `Lenny’ Robredo For Senator Movement”, it is there emblazoned: “behind every great man is a greater woman”. This assertion about who is better is of course a little bit off-tangent and unfair, both for the man and the woman, but then it is at least a stark recognition of the fact that greatness can, many a time, result from conjugal inspiration.

Even now, published media reports are saying that in all of Jesse’s life as a politician, as a long-standing city executive, and finally as the top honcho at the DILG in charge of local government units, the one singular asset that he really had was his wife

Leny, who acted likewise as his personal, political, spiritual, and legal adviser all rolled into one.

It is not therefore going to be amiss to say, at this point, that whatever Jesse turned out to be in his career as a public officer, one half of the credit should go to Leny. If only for this, Atty. Maria Leonora “Leny” Robredo deserves a crack as the new secretary of the interior and local govern-ment. President Aquino and the Liberal Party could not go wrong in this.

It also recommended that “the ‘no entry policy’ for the identified highly vulnerable areas or ‘danger zones’ has to be strict-ly enforced by the local government units con-cerned. Strengthening of local DRRMCs through

capacity bui lding and improved governance is likewise needed to increase the level of preparedness and put in place mitigation measures.”

Enforcement of the President’s directiveand RDC-X recommendations is an imperative in the protection of lives. But in the absence of a local ordinance to put teeth to such directive and rec-

ommendations, there are national laws that can be cited, Cabanlas said.

Rep. Rufus Rodriguez (2nd District), meanwhile, urged all concerned sectors to “continue to convince” City Hall of the impor-tance of a no-build zone ordinance.

Rodriguez said this ordinance is “very vital to prevent future loss of lives.” (Bong D.Fabe)

By PAT SAMONTERegional editor-Caraga

BUTUAN City––The secretary-general of the Kahugpungan sa Lumadnong Organisasyon (Kasalo)-Caraga has vehe-mently denied the murder and multiple frustrated murder charges filed against him by the military saying that “never had he done the crimes even in his imagination.”

Genasque Enriquez, who is also vice-president of KA-TRIBU Indigenous Peoples’ Partylist, said the cases were lodged with the Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur Prosecutor’s Office against 36 New People’s Army rebels by the Army’s 11th Special Action Company, Special Action Force and the 75th Infantry Battalion. The cases were in connection with the July 21, 2012 encounter between the military and the NPAs in Km. 8, Sitio Agpan, Imelda, Bunawan, Agusan del Sur. The cases alleged that the rebels were led by alias Friday/Mandy or Genaski

Kasalo-Caraga exec denies murder raps, slams militaryEnriquez alias Mandi, he said.

Genasque said neither has he been connected with the NPA nor ever been involved in its activities.

He cited all the indigenous people in Caraga, many of the religious and people’s organizations and several government agencies and officials he had dealt with in connection with the problems of the lumads as Kasalo-Caraga secretary general “are living proofs I am not an NPA.”

He also mentioned his being second nominee of Katribu Partylist with known address and legal identity recognized by the Commis-sion on Elections.

He said the cases filed against him “clearly showed the military as anti-lumad because of their persistent persecution against lumads like us in the form of forced evacuation until the present, prohibition of food to the Ma-manwa natives in Cabadbaran City. We are aware of their

plans to systematically make us yield to their foreign mining capitalist masters since they know we are strongly against mining in Caraga.”

Meanwhile, Katribu na-tional president Beverly Lon-gid condemned the murder and frustrated murder raps against Enriquez, calling them “malicious, harassment and intimidation” and a “vile at-tempt” by the military to stop the partylist group’s vice-president ín his activism on the recognition and protection of indigenous peoples rights.”

In a statement, Longid said Enriquez, a Manobo from Surigao del Sur, and fellow lumads “have been vocal in opposing heightened mili-tarization, corporate mining and commercial plantations in the Caraga region” and “in exposing human rights violations due to militarization especially in the provinces sof Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte that have led to the forced evacuation largely of Lumad-Mamanwa

communities.”She said Enriquez is not a

member of the NPA nor was he involved in the July 21, 2012 encounter as alleged in the cases filed by the military. “This is an old tactic of the military! They vilify as terrorists, linking members and leaders of legitimate organizations and progressive partylist to the NPA or any underground revolutionary organization; then include them in malicious suits for every alleged encounter they had with the NPA.”

Concerned with the safety and security of Enriquez, Longid called on the mili-tary to stop the practice of “harassment, vilification and filing of trumped up charges that violate human rights” and for it to withdraw the charges.

“We shall hold them ac-countable should any danger fall on the person of Enriquez and his family arising from these malicious suits,” Longid added.
