BUTUAN City––Support for Vice-Mayor Lawrence Lemuel Fortun’s congressional bid for Agusan del Norte’s First Congres-sional District in next year’s political exercise appears to swell as multi-sectoral groups especially the poor have vowed to back him up and “stand behind” his

cause to ensure his “victory.”An urban poor activist here who asked

not to be named said Fortun “is a true blue Butuanon who posseses the personality and leadership that we have long been looking for. As a man who comes from the poor like us, he understands our problems and our dreams. As a

CAGAYAN de Oro City––Two men are now languish-ing in jail after the police arrested them for killing their cousin at dawn on Sun-day in Barangay Pagatpat.

Sr. Insp. Eldie Gacus of Bulua police precinct said murder charges are now being filed before the City Prosecutor Office against Junie Pimentel and Jessie Pimentel.

Gacus said the two sus-pects were arrested inside their residence hours after they hacked to death a cer-tain Antonio Legaspi.

He said the suspects were packing up––apparently preparing to escape from the crime that they com-mitted––when the police caught them up.

The police said Legaspi was last seen having a drink-ing spree with Junie and Jessie Pimentel.

After consuming three bottles of hard liquor, the victim and the suspects engaged in verbal tussle that led to the killing, said the police.

Police said the victim succumbed to single hack wound on his neck.

The bloody incident hap-pened at around 1 a.m. on Sunday––and two hours lat-er, the suspects were arrested by the police. It was learned that Legaspi is celebrating as he is about to marry his long-time girlfriend. His dream of marrying his girlfriend will no longer be materialized following his untimely death.

Front (MILF) not to get distracted by the on-going clash in Maguindanao. In a statement, ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman appealed to both peace panels not to allow the isolated incident to affect the encouraging gains in

the process. He also urged all stake-holders to help stop this latest round of violence and prevent its possible escalation. On the other hand, the regional governor also con-demned the act of aggression

taking place in the towns of Datu Unsay, Ampatuan, and Shariff Aguak involving the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF). “The act is especially reprehensible during this time of the Holy Month of Ramadhan, when de-

vout Muslims are in the observance of fasting and are supposed to exercise utmost restraint. It is an utter disrespect of Islamic values and of the lives of countless civilians who will have to endure the effects of conflict even in the midst

of the holy month,” he said. The ARMM governor also said the BIFF should uphold Islamic values and respect for civilian lives more than any other inter-est and to exhaust peace-ful means to address valid grievances.

OROQUIETA City, Misamis Occidental––The governor here has called on the residents of Misamis for their cooperation in the preservation and conservation of the Mt. Malindang range natural park’s (RNP) rich biological diversity.

Governor Herminia M. Ramiro sounded the call fol-lowing the launching of the Mt. Malindang RNP as an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Heritage Park (AHP), during the 2nd National AHP Conference held in the city, early this month.

“Biological diversity means the wealth of life forms found inside the range and the millions of different plants and micro-organisms, the genes they contained and the intricate ecosystems they form,” she said.

The governor received the “Plaque Recognizing Mt. Malindang RNP as an ASEAN Heritage Park of the Philip-pines” from the ASEAN Center for Bio-Diversity (ACB) represented by a team headed by Dr. Filiberto S. Pollisco, ACB program management specialist.

“I feel very much elated for this very significant and historic occasion of launching the Mt. Malindang RNP as an AHP because it now clearly defines how we should be able to protect its vast resources for the people of today and those of the future to enjoy,” she said.

With the governor in receiving the award was Corazon Galinato, regional executive director of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and Belen Daba, regional technical director of the Protected Area and Wildlife, Coastal Zone Management Service, Region 10, and Eden C. Pito, Mt. Malindang RNP protected area superintendent.

Also in the event to witness the launching was Secre-tary Nereus Acosta, presidential adviser on environmental affairs, who authored Republic Act No. 8978, otherwise known as “The Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park Act of 2000” when he was the congressional representative of the 1st District of Bukidnon, also of Region 10.

MALAYBALAY City––Twenty farmer-paralegals from Malaybalay City and Sumilao are set to work hand in hand with the De-partment of Agrarian Re-form particularly in North Bukidnon to distribute the identified problematic land-holdings in the two afor-mentioned areas.

The farmers underwent a four-month course (from Feb. 27 to June 15, 2012) dubbed Paralegal Training on Agrarian Reform Laws/Policies, Human Rights and Skills Enhancement

Farmer-paralegals join hands with DAR-North Bukidnon

on Agrarian Reform Imple-mentation.

The training involved various aspects of agrarian reform and other related laws such as the qualifica-tions and selection of ben-eficiaries, and the process of land acquisition and distri-bution (LAD) as provided in new DAR issuances.

The trainees were also provided with adequate fundamental skills in legal research, interview, evidence gathering and documenta-tion. As part of the course, the trainees were asked to

prepare community plans and specific activities for their respective commu-nities.

One of the trainees, De-ogracias C. Baysa from Sum-ilao, Bukidnon expressed his appreciation that DAR has recognized the capability of the farmers to complement its efforts in terms of land acquisition and distribution.

Together with the other farmer-paralegals, he con-siders it a welcome challenge as they accept their roles to hasten the LAD process.

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

Let us, Cagayanons; be aware of the black propaganda hurled against our elected leaders by people who wants to rule us in the guise of honest intentions. We should not believe in tainted stories published in newspapers or heard over polluted air lanes. We must bear in mind that election season is near and people obsessed to gain power will do everything to sway public opinions to their side either with deception or with lies.

We should not fault some members of the press who have clearly manifested their biases under pretext of ‘valid news.’ After all, these people are using the neutrality of the press to express their fair and honest intentions to serve their masters. Let us commend media people who only see fairness in their slanted news reports to please favored personalities in politics. The people of Cagayan de Oro are aware of all these handiwork of hypocrites who pretend to be without skeletons in the closet.

We, Cagayanons, should unite so that we could effectively protect our gains through the years of toils and hard work. We must be aware that some groups are out to destroy our sense of pride. That these groups are using every means – the media and social network-ing sites – to discredit our elected officials.

We cannot but issue a precaution since these people are very same people elected once in public offices. However, these public officials are discards in succeeding elections for their failure to serve the masses of our people. Now, with the election season heating up, these calloused politicians are up again in their usual antics – deceive the public through fabricated lies and fabricated charges.

Well, that is the other side of the story. In some parts in Cagayan de Oro’s rural baran-gays, a politician from Misamis Oriental has also started campaigning. Gov. Oscar Moreno, of Misamis Oriental, who earlier declared in-tention to run for Mayor in Cagayan de Oro City, has put up nationally funded projects in Cagayan de Oro City. There is nothing wrong with that. The only difference was that the project was for Misamis Oriental. Obviously, the people of Misamis Oriental have reasons to protest with that act of betrayal. Cagaya-nons are aware of this braggadocio. As usual, the people of Cagayan de Oro would always get rid of Moreno’s empty boastings.

Paner, EVP and Head of Global Banking; Jose Teodoro Limcaoco, BPI Family Savings Bank President; Gil A. Buenaventura, SEVP and Chief Operating Officer; Natividad Alejo, SVP and Head of Consumer Banking; and Alfonso Salcedo, EVP and Head of Corporate Banking.

THE Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) reported a net income of P9.4 billion for the first half of the year, 52% higher than the P6.2 billion realized in the same period last year. This translated to a 21% Return on Equity and a 2.3% Return on Assets.

Net income for the sec-ond quarter was P3.6 billion, 8% higher than a year ago due to the 9.4% increase in net interest income but tempered by the higher tax line. Both non inter-est income and operating expenses were relatively flat against the same quarter last year.

For the first semester, the significant growth in profits was mainly driven by the 24% improvement in revenues. Net interest income rose by 9% while non-interest income surged by 51%.

Improvement in net in-terest income was due to the combined effect of a P32 billion increase in average asset base and a 14 bps im-provement in net spreads. Non-interest income was boosted by the extraordinary level of trading gains realized in the first quarter of the year as the Bank sold down its securities inventory.

BPI announces first half 2012 operating results

Op erat ing exp ens e growth slowed down to 9% with increases registered across all categories of ex-penses. Impairment loss and income taxes remained to be ahead of the previous year by P438 million and P159 million, respectively.

Loan growth from all segments was sustained as net loan portfolio reached P480 billion, 17% higher than a year ago. Both the middle market and SME segments contributed a 19% growth while the top corporate segment went up by 15%. Consumer lending increased by 17%. Despite the double-digit growth in portfolio, asset quality continued to improve with net 30-day NPL ratio at 1.4% from last year’s 1.8%. Reserve cove r was 140.7%

Total intermediated funds amounted to P1.46 trillion as the Bank’s total de-posits stood at P734 billion with growth coming largely from low cost deposits. As-sets under management was P730 billion, a 15% growth from last year.

BPI’s market capital-ization was P265 billion at end of June and remains the largest among domestic banks. Its Basel 2 Capital

Adequacy Ratio (CAR) was 14.5%.

Mr. Gil A. Buenaventura, Senior Executive Vice Presi-dent and Chief Operating Officer of BPI commented, “We are happy to see that loan growth has remained resilient though slightly below the first quarter performance. We expect challenges going forward especially on our net inter-est margin with the recent cut in the BSP overnight borrowing rate. We will however try to seize oppor-tunities given the continued domestic economic growth, notwithstanding the impact of the Eurozone slowdown. At this point in time, we are on track with our target of delivering a sustainable 15% return on equity.”

MAHINOG, Camiguin––Local govern-ment officials and leaders of private sec-tors participated today in the Local and Regional Economic Development (LRED) Sensitizing Workshop conducted by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) at Queobe Eco Park and Training Center.

The workshop, the first in a series of four different workshops to be facilitated by the DTI, aims to identify and imple-ment local projects to boost local economy, especially those that can be done from six months to one year.

DTI Provincial Director Joselito S. Enot said he sees the potential of Mahinog as an emerging growth area in Camiguin.

He said the presence of the principal port in Benoni gives the municipality a competitive advantage over other towns in the province.

In addition to the port is the presence of tourist destinations like Mantigue island and zipline in Benoni lagoon, which can be compared to other prime destinations in the country.

If fully tapped, these potentials can bring in more economic development

Mr. Marizz B. Agbon, President of Philippine Agricultural Development and Commercial Corporation (PADCC) explains that without PADCC endorsement LGUs cannot entertain Korean investors in which it will serve as preventive measure in ensuring that the country is dealing with the right people during the MIC Planning Workshop.

MIC project seen to draw more investorsC AG AYA N D E O R O CITY - Determined to bring about agro-indus-trial development and spur investment in the country, the Philippine government ventured into a partnership with the Korean government in the establishment of Multi-Industry Clusters (MIC). The said strategy is ini-tiated by the Korean gov-ernment with the hopes of causing economic growth by generating employment in the rural areas that will alleviate poverty as well as promote food security through the establishment of agro-based industries, thereby also strengthening the relationship between two countries. The Korean government granted the Philippines with a Corn Processing Complex as a pilot project under the MIC located in Malagana, Claveria, Misamis Oriental. The facility is expected to fully operate early next year and is deemed to help lo-cal farmers in marketing their produce and reduce postharvest losses due to

improper handling. They will also impart Korean farm technologies to the local agri-industry mov-ers to further help in the increase of production. With the near comple-tion of the said pilot proj-ect, a planning workshop was recently conducted to establish a Regional Technical Working Group (RTWG) that will deal with the possible boost of investors that will be

heightened as soon as the commencement of the project. The meeting tackled on the emerging issues with the implementation of MIC and it seeks to craft the guidelines in dealing with potential investors . Among the issues raised is on the overlapping tenurial in-struments, facilitation in the entry of investors and Local Investment Code,

community awareness on the MIC Project and disclosure of agricultural practices to be employed by an investor. The roles of the RTWG members were also streamlined and were given emphasis to resolve such issues. In line with these emerg-ing issues, the newly cre-ated RTWG will strengthen the implementation of MIC by conducting stake-holders consultation and

dialogues, delineating po-tential MIC areas, creating a one stop hub for complete and relevant information and checklist of require-ments for investors and conducting regular RTWG meetings. The workshop was at-tended by representatives from the provincial and municipal local govern-ment units of Misamis Oriental and Claveria, Department of Environ-

ment and Natural Re-sources, Department of Agrarian Reform, De-partment of Trade and Industry, National Com-mission on Indigenous People – 10, Philippine Agricultural Develop-ment and Commercial Corporation (PADCC) and Department of Ag-riculture- Regional Field Unit 10 Planning Divi-sion. # (VANESSA MAE S.

StatementStatementEVERY birth is a gift from God; every new life, a bless-ing, every birth a cause for rejoicing and praising God who create new life only out of love.

Our country’s positive birth rate and a population composed of mostly young people are the main players that fuel the economy. A fact that even the government itself acknowledges as it is determined to feed, educate and keep the young people healthy.

And rightly so, for even our Constitution acknowl-edges that human resource is a primary source of social and economic force.

Earlier this year, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipi-nas reported that the hard-

Statement on RH Bill

earned salaries of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) that were sent to their fami-lies for the first 11 months last year amounted to $18.3 billion, which is 7.3 percent increase in the same period in 2010.

Filipino men and women who endure the travails of working in foreign soil play a significant role in propping up our economy.

The country’s robust population is a big push to our economy, according to former US president Bill Clinton, local and interna-tional financial institutions and the public sector.

It is therefore quite dis-

turbing when the country is told that having too many school children is a burden to the national budget.

Can we have enough of schooled, skilled, diligent and highly driven young people who are a driving force of economic progress?

The draconian popula-tion control policy of the reproductive health bill would only curtail our eco-nomic growth. The problem of countries with former robust economies is the lack of young workers for their industries and inad-equate support for their aging population.

The issue in maternal death as it has been men-tioned is a serious concern. But the solution does not

lie in suppressing births as provided in the RH Bill.

Providing proper and ad-equate maternal care could be done without passing the RH bill, but by strengthen-ing and improving access to existing medical services.

There is an ill portent for the nation when the government does not look at its own population as a source of grace and blessing.

There is a grave reason to worry when the govern-ment would rather suppress the population through RH bill instead of confronting the real causes of poverty.

Will Joeboy Aquino compromise?

BUTUANONS have confirmed of Rep. Joe ‘Boy’ Aquino’s intention to run for the mayoral post in Butuan City next year. Joeboy will slug it ‘head on’ against incumbent Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. Most Butuanons agree that Joeboy is a ‘mayoral timber.’ By the way, ‘Joeboy’ is still in the second term as Rep. of the Butuan City’s lone district. He still has three more years to serve his last term in Congress. In other words, Joeboy could still run for re-election in Congress.

Joeboy’s plan to run for Mayor makes Butuanon wonders. Many think Joeboy is not yet ripe for Mayor. In fact, most of Joeboy’s trusted people are not agree-able to Joeboy’s mayoral adventure. They said Joeboy in Congress is unbeatable. Why run for Mayor against the Amantes? These political pundits may have reasons to worry. There worries are base on solid grounds.

First, the Amantes are almost in total control of Agusan Del Norte’s political map. With incumbent Governor Erlpe Amante in Agusan Del Norte, Sister Rep. Angelica Amante-Matba of Agusan Del Norte, and Cousin Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. of Butuan City, the Amantes had cornered the province politics. Anyone who would run against the Amantes on any elective post in Agusan Del Norte would be in ratio of 1:3 in the political battlefield. Such challenge must have fired up Joeboy’s political instinct. Winning against the Amantes is like winning‘mega lotto,’ so to speak.

However, Joeboy’s instinct will not lead him to elec-tion victory. Relying on instinct is just like looking at the stars in search of nothing. Maybe, instinct is neces-sary in making a decision in life and death situation. Politically speaking, Joeboy is not in a situation where his career as a politician is threatened. As what political observers had said, ‘Joeboy is unbeatable in Congress.’

Something must have pushed Joeboy to run for mayor. Perhaps, against his will but to accommodate a political indebtedness. Well, that idea may be off tan-gent. Nonetheless, there next to impossible things that happened in politics.

Joeboy could be a victim of political accommodation where his personal political career could be the only means to be at stake. Will Joeboy accede to political pressure? There are reasons that this corner will reveal in the next few days. React: [email protected]

THINK a minute.Henri Latour was the

greatest detective in France during the 19th century.

He was a mastermind at finding evidence and clues, then fitting it all together to find the criminal and bring him to justice. But mysteriously, this living legend’s career suddenly ended.

Detective Henri Latour was called to the scene of a horrible, violent crime. An old couple had been robbed and brutally murdered.

The police had already arrested a suspect. But shortly after studying the crime scene and evidence, Latour’s instincts convinced him that the police had arrested the wrong man.

He promised the po-lice and the family that he

Think A Minute

The truth hurts

would find the missing pieces of the puzzle and the murderer.

So began what many have called the most bril-liant tracking of a criminal in the history of France.

Henri Latour carefully gathered all the different pieces of evidence, one piece at a time, until he finally found his man and criminal.

The newspapers praised Latour’s brilliant detective

work and spread the news of his fame all over France. Then suddenly, after solv-ing that case, Latour retired and moved away.

In fact, he lived alone for the remaining 25 years of his life. You see, it was only after he died that the true identity of the last criminal Latour tracked down was made known to the public.

In his last case, Latour had refused to back down from the truth, even when

his investigation revealed and proved that the mur-derer was none other than Latour’s own son.

Sometimes the truth can be very painful. But sooner or later we each have to face it: we’ve done some things wrong in our life. And until we admit this fact to our Maker, we’ll never be free from our guilt. It’s then we realize that the price we pay of hurting our pride is nothing compared to losing our relationship with our Maker. And the only thing we have to do is ask Jesus Christ for His forgiveness and new life. Then with Him in charge, we can start changing and living His way, which is the only way we’ll ever have peace of mind and be free.

NEWS about the world economy have been bleak once again for the nth time in the past few years since the housing bubble im-ploded in 2007–2008, which sent financial investment houses and banks on the brink of collapse and fur-ther worsened the situation of the stagnant industrial manufacturing sector.

Just recently, the Finn-ish Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen called on Euro-pean leaders to end the “panic mentality,” which emanated from the sover-eign debt crisis plaguing not only European Union economies but the US and Japan as well. He said the “panic mentality” is making things worse for heavily-indebted countries such as Spain and Italy, as well as Greece, Ireland, Portugal, among others, as bond yields

No end in sight to the crisisare unfairly high, thereby pushing up interest rates and borrowing costs. He added, “We need the market economy to work again in financial markets.” (Signs of market manipulation? Are you surprised?)

In Europe, unemploy-ment in 17 Eurozone coun-tries stood at 11 percent. The Eurozone members are the 17 European Union countries, out of the 27, that use the euro as its currency.

In the UK, the economic outlook further dimmed as England’s GDP shrank by 0.7 percent in the 2nd quarter of 2012. According to a July 31 report published by The Guardian, “The main issues facing the UK economy were the impact of rising prices on real incomes, ‘the confidence shock’ from the eurozone, and a greater impact from the financial crisis on output than previ-ously thought.”

Japan is no better off.

It is deeply in debt, having one of the worst GDP to debt ratio at 228 percent. Export demand is still low and prospects of a recovery are dim as Europe and the US, which are big markets for Japanese goods, struggle with their own crisis. Add to this the shifting out of Japanese companies of pro-duction overseas thereby resulting in a worsening trade balance. The trade deficit of Japan in January reached 1,275 billion yen, exceeding the 967.9 billion recorded in January 2009 and by far the highest since recording began in 1979.

In the US, Bloomberg reported that what is being considered as a fragile eco-nomic recovery is making another downturn with the GDP down to 1.5 percent from 2 percent in the previ-ous three months. Manu-facturing has contracted in July. And according to an interaksyon report, “factory

orders fell 0.5 percent in June after rising by the same margin the prior month as demand for a range of items such as motor vehicles, machinery and computers sagged.” The jobs report has been disappointing with a mere 80,000 jobs created. Unemployment is still at a high 8.2 percent with 12.7 million unemployed and the claims for unemployment benefits, according to the in-teraksyon report, increased by 8,000 to a seasonally adjusted 365,000 claims. The interaksyon report also revealed that employers an-nounced 36,855 planned job cuts last month, bringing the number of layoffs up by 2.5 percent compared to the same period last year. The US is also suffering from chronic underemployment, currently standing at 15.3 percent, with one out of three youths underemployed and half of new

(After listening to Atty. Christian Monsod today Aug. 2, during the Mining Forum held at the Cronin Hall of San Agustin Cathe-dral, we have arrive at some conclusions.)

1. Mining has not help address the mass poverty and the gross inequalities of income, wealth and political power. Mining Politics have replace Narco-Politics and have helped many unwor-thy politicians perpetuate themselves in power. The poor in Tuburan, Bikingon, San Simon, Dansolihon etc. remain to be poor and some have even started to manifest health conditions as the result of chemical poisoning;

2. Mining companies lied that Mining is a driver of our development and that it is an effective weapon in addressing mass poverty and gross inequalities in our country. The mining areas are not thriving communi-ties and worst, the mining sites have degraded environ-ments with the taxpayers

Crisis...from page 6

graduates either jobless or underemployed.

Globally, the Telegraph reported that global manu-facturing has slowed down because of the impact of the Eurozone debt crisis. Manufacturing contracted in China and Europe and slowed down in the US and Canada.

Unemployment has hit the world’s youth the hardest. According to the International Labor Or-ganization (ILO) nearly 75 million youths or 12.7 percent of people aged 15 to 24 would be out of work this year, up from 12.6 percent in 2011.

It could have reached 13.6 percent in 2011 if the millions of youth who have put off or given up looking for jobs are included. The rate of joblessness among the youth is slowly moving toward the 75.4 million unemployed in 2009, when the crisis was at its peak.

According to Gallup, underemployment stood at 17 percent of the world’s workforce while the ILO estimated that 6.1 percent or 202 million would be unemployed in 2012.

Data from the trading-economics.com revealed the China’s GDP during the first quarter of 2012 registered a 8.1 percent increase on a year-to-year basis and expanded by 1.8 percent compared to the

previous quarter. This is a three-year low and a sign that China’s economy is slowing down. China is one of the biggest markets for consumer goods, hav-ing the biggest population in the world, and the base for manufacturing of a lot of MNCs because of its cheap labor.

All data indicate that the world economic crisis is far from reaching a resolution. In fact, it is being described by analyst James Petras as “unrelenting.” The problem is, the sovereign debt crisis has limited the ability of governments to further inject bail out funds and to pump-prime the economy through more government spending.

American economist Nouriel Roubini has said in a July 9 CNBC report that “stalling growth in the U.S., debt troubles in Europe, a slowdown in emerging markets, particularly Chi-na, and military conflict in Iran – would come together to create a storm for the global economy in 2013.” He called this the perfect storm.

Worse, no matter how hard mainstream econo-mists and finance ministers of the world bang their heads, they still could not find a solution to the crisis.

The solution could not be found in the liberal, free-market economics of Adam Smith and the monetarism of Milton

Friedman, nor could it be found in the demand-side, pump-priming eco-nomics of John Maynard Keynes. In fact, regardless how loud governments, f inance ministers and economists of advanced capitalist countries have been singing hallelujahs to “free-market” neoliberal globalization and how hard they have been pressur-ing its neo-colonies and dependent countries to liberalize more, they have been trying a combination of monetarism, privatiza-tion, and deregulation, pump-priming and pro-tectionist policies in their own countries.

They are now running out of models such that

Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan has declared, in a The Guardian UK report, that Bruce Springsteen is one of his economic heroes.

Francis Fukuyama spoke to soon when he declared capitalism as “the end of history.” Perhaps Karl Marx was right all along when he declared that the crisis is rooted in the very foun-

dations of capitalism and Vladimir Lenin was right when he put forward the proposition that monopoly capitalism – or the stage when capitalist countries and their MNCs have di-vided the world among themselves – is moribund capitalism. They must be smiling in their graves right now. (http://bulatlat.com)

soon paying for the cost of their rehabilitation. The revenue collection rate on mining is even lower than the EVAT we pay for the products we purchase from the grocery or drugstore;

We at Bangon Kagay-an are not against mining per se. We recognize that our lives are partly enhanced by

the end-products of mining. But the dangers of unabated mining are all too real: pol-lution, flooding due to silt-ation and diseases caused by mercury-poisoning.

What we want is a mora-torium, a STOP of all min-ing activities. We want to see Mother Nature able to breathe, to heal and preserve

itself so that future genera-tions can make use of its life-changing potentials.

During this breathing space, Bangon Kagay-an Inc. proposes a Mining Summit where a thorough discus-sion is done by all those who are and will be affected by indiscriminate mining activities. This proposed

forum will involve the whole Cagayanon community with the aim of defining what re-sponsible and irresponsible mining is and to come up with one common stand to preserve and protect our mineral resources from being raped by exploitative foreign businessmen and local political partners.

The Gold Mineral In-dustry along Iponan River is estimated at P 180 M weekly or P 640 M monthly. How much of that money is poured back to our local economy?

If there is somebody who must benefit from our min-eral reserves, it should be the Cagayanon themselves. Not the Foreign Exploiters who are claiming Scarborough and the Spratleys, Manny Pangilinan, nor Philex or Lepanto Mining, the Ko-reans and who else.

The people of Cagayan de Oro and the affected barangays can organized themselves into Mining Cooperatives with a local regulatory body to super-vise the mining operations with the strict observance of pertinent laws and mea-

sures that will ensure that the bad effects of mining as stated above in (1) & (2) shall be avoided or miti-gated. Then there will be an equitable distribution of wealth translated to less crimes related to poverty and more food on the table for Toto and Tata.

How do we achieve this?The People Mining Sum-

mit will endeavor to come up with a covenant with all stakeholders such as the local & national gov-ernment, business sector, indigenous people, farmers and barangay folks of the affected barangays and all other concerned sectors where everyone will commit to support this aspiration and vision.

We will ask all aspiring political leaders in the city and in the national level to be part of this covenant and those who will not support this dream will not merit the Cagayanon vote in the 2013 elections.

The Vision: With all the Gold in the hands of the Cagayanon people, we will be the next Singapore of Asia in 10 years.

THE most remarkable and competitive advantage of a successful school is its organizational culture.

The organizational cul-ture is a major constituent of organizational development through which the school develops internal capacities and mechanisms to be most effective in its performance.

Iligan City National High School is a huge or-ganization composed of administrators, teachers, staff and students com-ing from various places in Mindanao.

With its vision to be the center of Excellent Basic Education in Northern Min-danao; its mission to nurture and develop highly com-petitive and value-oriented students with quality basic education and to produce competent, responsible and law-abiding citizens of the community where they serve; and its objectives to serve the educational needs of the children of the middle and low income families, to offer a reasonably high quality education, and to provide students with learn-ing experiences, ICNHS is primarily concerned not only with what is going on outside but with what is manifesting internally as well.

The school is located in Gen. Wood Street, Barangay Mahayahay, Iligan City, near Tomawis Old Terminal and situated in front of Iligan City Central School.

A study was conducted to determine the dominant organizational culture of ICNHS based on the as-sessment of the respondents using the Organizational

BUTUAN City––Delegates to the recently-concluded largest annual gathering of business leaders from across Mindanao were urged to take active stance in helping save the island-region’s environment from further degradation.

At the closing of the 21st Mindanao Business Conference held here re-cently, Mindanao Develop-ment Authority (MinDA) chair Secretary Luwalhati Antonino sought the ac-tive participation of the business sector in setting industr y standards for green technology.

Antonino also asked Mindanao’s key business players to sustain efforts for environmental initia-tives through their corpo-rate social responsibility (CSR) programs, during

Mindanao biz group urged to ‘give back’ for the environmenther speech at the conclud-ing day of the conference,

“Mindanao is host to eight of the major river basins in the country,” said Antonino, adding that major industries in Mind-anao rely on these bodies of water for commercial and other purposes.

She said that Mind-anao’s environment is now facing serious challenges over decades of wanton logging, unregulated min-ing activities, illegal fish-ing practices, and unsus-tainable manufacturing activities by extractive industries.

“Damage brought on Mindanao’s rich natural environment range from moderate to severe, some of which are irreparable,” said Antonino, citing data from the Mindanao 2020

Peace and Development Framework Plan (Mindan-ao 2020), Mindanao’s long-term peace and develop-ment roadmap formulated by MinDA in partnership with key line government agencies, private sector, and civil society groups across the island-region.

Furthermore, Antoni-no stressed that Mind-anao suffers from rotating brownouts owing to the critical condition of water-sheds in Lanao del Norte and Bukidnon where the Agus and Pulangi hydro power plants are located.

With only 23% forest cover left as of 2003, the Department of Environ-ment and Natural Resourc-es (DENR) disclosed earlier that Mindanao has already lost two thirds of its total forest cover over the years.

This problem has long been neglected, accord-ing to Antonino, pushing MinDA to put together the MindaNOW Nurturing Our Waters (MindaNOW) Program that seeks to in-tegrate and harmonize a ridge-to-reef approach in managing and developing the island-region’s water-sheds and river basins.

“The MindaNOW Pro-gram provides platforms for public-private conver-gence and this is where multi-national companies and local business players can come in,” said An-tonino.

Antonino added that MindaNOW stakeholders all over Mindanao have started to plant trees in support to the National Greening Program of Presi-dent Benigno S. Aquino III

being led by DENR.The program aims to

plant 1.5-billion trees cov-ering about 1.5-million hectares nationwide by 2016.

“Here in Mindanao we don’t just plant the trees; we make sure they grow,” she said, citing tree-growing and adoption of watershed or mangrove areas as some of the activities that the Mindanao business sector can support.

Antonino said that the environment is everybody’s concern, calling also local government units (LGUs) and civil society organiza-tions to get involved.

“ There’s a need for shared responsibility and accountability to protect and rehabilitate Mind-anao’s heavily degraded environment. We need to

do something now before it’s too late,” she said.

In 2011, approximately forty-one percent (41%) of Mindanao’s land area was devoted to agriculture and one-third or close to thirty-five percent (35%) of its labor force is employed in agro-industry, fishery, and forestry sectors in 2010.

The island-region con-tributes more than one-third to the national food requirements, producing many of the countr y’s top export commodities such as coconut, banana, pineapple, tuna, and other marine, aquaculture, and inland fish products.

Among the i s land-region’s top export des-tinations are the United States, Netherlands, Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore. MinDA

ICNHS: A market culture organization

By OMAR QUIDLAT HUSSIEN

Culture Assessment Instru-ment (OCAI) which was electronically reproduced by the Pearson Education Inc., Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.

The OCAI was a hassle-free tool for diagnosing organizational culture, de-veloped by professors Robert Quinn and Kim Cameron. This was a validated instru-ment, based on the Com-peting Values Framework, and used by over 10,000 companies worldwide.

By rating 6 key aspects of organizational culture that were found to determine success, the respondent assesses the current and preferred organizational culture. The outcome is based on the Competing Values Framework consist-ing of 4 culture types: Clan, Adhocracy, Market, and Hierarchy.

Consequently, findings of the study have shown that majority of the respondents in ICNHS or 41.82% exhib-ited a market culture in the current situation.

The strength of a mar-ket culture in ICNHS was determined by the number of points conceded to it. The market culture type exhibited by ICNHS is slightly strong. This find-ing is in agreement with what Cameron and Quinn have revealed about or-ganizations that possess strong cultures associated with having homogeneity of effort, clear focus, and higher performance in en-vironments where

Chairman Samuel Lapac, 69, allegedly shot the victims with a caliber .45 pistol.

Golez was shot three times and hit in the chest, right upper arm and neck, Guindulman suffered gun-shot wounds in the lower left leg while Quiñonez sustained a bullet wound in the back of his right shoulder.

The victims were brought to Surigao Medical Center and were scheduled to be transferred to Miranda Fam-ily Hospital.

Authorities did not say where Matugas was during the shooting. Neither did they say if the suspect was arrested nor escaped after the shooting.

Earlier, JBC said that there was a need for a “unan-imous vote” of the eight members of the JBC in order to dismiss the “privileged motion” questioning the integrity of some of the 20 nominees for the post of Chief Justice.

Iloilo City (5th District) Rep. Niel Tupas, Jr., ex-officio member of the JBC representing the House of Representatives, said that one of their colleagues in the JBC filed the “killer move” against De Lima, Solicitor General Francis Jardeleza and Securities and Exchange Commission

Kiblawan Police Office investigator identified the suspect allegedly as Baran-gay Kagawad Fernandez Suay Jr. who fled after the incident.

At the height of their drinking session at around 11 p.m. inside the residence of the victim, Parantar said heated argument ensued which resulted to a shooting.

The suspect drawn his .45 caliber pistol and shot the victim who died in-stantly with two bullet hits.

Recovered from scene were empty shells of the pistol used in the crime.

Kiblawan town law en-forcers are now looking for the barangay official.

Butuanon, he knows the needs of our locality. As a lawyer, he will bring our aspirations to the halls of Congress. He has proven to be a man of the masses, humble but principled, and easy to approach, As a public official, his heart has always been for the less privileged.”

Earlier, City Mayor Ferdinand Amante, Jr. an-nounced that Fortun’s candi-dacy for next year’s election “is assured” and that the city “will be supporting him”.

Reports have it that more than 80 percent of the city’s barangay chairmen were backing Fortun.

An urban barangay chairman who came to For-tun’s 41st birthday bash at a local restaurant here said he liked Fortun “because he has not changed since he was elected councilor until now that he is vice-mayor.”

Incumbent Rep. Jose Aquino II, who is on his second term of office, has decided to contest Amante for the city’s top post in the 2013 polls. He is known to be former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s political pupil and partymate.

Fortun’s most likely op-ponents are National Food Authority administrator Lito Banayo and city councilor Ryan Anthony Culima who is backed by a mining com-pany operating in Tubay, Agusan del Norte.

Culima is in the shortlist of vice-mayoral aspirants that includes city council-ors Ramon Carampatana, Erwin Dano and Angelo Calo. Amante is still mum on the issue.

A political analyst here said that Banayo’s chances in the 2013 election “are farfetched” since he “is not known to be a political fig-ure in Butuan City.”

He said Banayo’s getting President Aquino’s support was “nearly impossible”. Neither will the NFA admin-istrator be backed by Liberal Party president Butch Abad, he added.

Fortun is the local LP chairman.

(SEC) Chairperson Teresita Herbosa.

De Lima, Jardeleza and Herbosa have pending criminal and administra-tive cases.

De Lima is facing dis-barment case before the Integrated Bar of the Philip-pines (IBP) in connection with her alleged defiance of the temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by the SC on the watchlist order (WLO) against former Presi-dent and now Pampanga (2nd District) Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Under the JBC’s Rule 4, Section 5, any nominee with pending criminal or regular administrative cases, pending criminal cases in foreign courts, convicted on any criminal case or administrative case with a fine of not less than P10,000 is disqualified for appoint-ment in any post in the Judiciary, Ombudsman or the Deputy Ombudsmen.

Earlier, De Lima stood as one of the witnesses of the House prosecution panel in the impeachment case against Corona.

CJ nomineesOn one hand, the JBC

on Monday came up with its shortlist of nominees for the post of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (SC).

The shortlist of nomi-nees of at least three names will be submitted to Presi-dent Benigno S. Aquino III for his consideration.

Topping the list is SC Acting Chief Justice An-tonio T. Carpio, who got seven votes from the eight-member JBC, while five other nominees came next with six votes each.

Earning six votes each are SC Associate Justices Roberto A. Abad, Arturo D. Brion and Maria Lourdes Aranal Sereno, Solicitor General Francis H. Jardeleza and former San Juan City (Lone District) Rep. and erstwhile Executive Sec-retary Ronaldo B. Zamora.

SC Associate Justice Teresita J. Leonardo-De Castro and former Ateneo de Manila University Col-lege of Law Dean Cesar Villanueva, who got five votes each, also made it to the shortlist.

President Aquino has until August 27, 2012 within

which to appoint the Phil-ippines’ 24th Chief Justice. philippine news agency

Culture...from page 8

unity and common vi-sion are required.

Cameron and Quinn further argued that orga-nizational success is said to depend on matching the culture type with the demands of the external environment which is one of the characteristics of a market culture type.

In ICNHS, the strengths of the market culture should be used to conform not only to the internal but to the external environment as well.

The study utilized ques-tionnaires in obtaining data from the respondents as questionnaires present uni-form stimulus to all respon-dents and lead them to be more open and truthful especially on sensitive or controversial topics. The questionnaires were floated through direct distribution and administration to the respondents within ICNHS.

It provides access to the most extensive network in the Philppines, with 32 do-mestic and 19 international destinations.

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.

Jajalla praised the DTI for introducing the LRED con-cept in Mahinog.

LRED is a process by which stakeholders from both public and private sec-tors are mobilized to become partners in a joint effort to improve the economy of a locality and increase its competitiveness.

“LRED intervention is a big step to create more jobs, small business enterprises and income especially for our residents,” Jajalla said.

To achieve this, he em-phasized, both public and private sectors need to play key roles to drive the eco-nomic development of the town.
