power of consumers will be enhanced.
If our unemployment rate is reduced
further, the trickle-down effect of economic
progress will reach the Filipino masses.
This will counter the claim of the Opposition
that the rich people get richer under the
Administration, while the poor masses get
poorer! There are also predictions that
as our economy advances, the peso
value will hold against the US Dollar
advances; even as inflation will be reined
in. Once these happen the people may
reward P-Noy and his allies their vote of
confidence.
COMPLAINTS: Our Filipino people are
known for whining never satised with
what we have and always looking for what
else are missing. It is a normal tradition for us
to complain and to blame the government
for the things that we want to have. The
thoughts of the late John F. Kennedy must
be inculcated in the Filipinos mind, heart
and soul: Dont ask what your government
can do for you rather, ask what you can do
for your government and country!
As a people, we take for granted
favors given by our friends, institutions,
government, even by God. Seldom do we
hear well-endowed children expressing
thanks to their parents or grandparents for
the things so lavishly provided to them. In
my case, I always tell my grandchildren
my grandparents died before my birth, so
they never gave me anything. My parents
died when I was just struggling on my ownto pursue college. But I still thank them
for giving me life and my full faith in God.
Be grateful for what we have!
TAXATION: These months are tax
audit period for regular payors-donors
of BIR. Examiners of the tax agency are
meaner these days because they are
under the gun from their supervisors
and superiors with collection quotas
and examination deadlines to meet. One
of the major tools the BIR men use is the
subpoena duces tecum. If tax audit
respondents fail to submit requirements,
the sdt is released and subsequently
endorsed to the Legal Division.
Consequently, the lawyers le the
criminal case with the Prosecution
Service. The case is submitted to the
Municipal Court (in Cities) for proper
case disposition. At this juncture, theonly remedy is to hire a lawyer who will
submit formal explanations for the failure
to honor the sdt - with commitment to
comply with the prompt submission of
audit documents. This will end with the
payment of assessments plus surcharges,
interests and compromise penalties.
Taxpayers better comply with subpoenas
at the earliest time.

humble but casts the wicked and proud
to the ground!

EXPERTS: The bankers group from
Australia-New Zealand considers thePhilippines as one of the most if not most
economically progressive Asian country.
ANZ predicts that our economic growth
will be recorded at 6% - but probably
lower than the earlier target of 7%. The
reason forwarded by them is our recent Phl
underspending in infrastructures. They
opine that if the correct levels of budget
releases are attained, our GDP and GNP
goals will both be accomplished.
Their predictions somehow reconcile with
our earlier opinion that Phl budget spending
will soon reach optimum levels. It is natural
for government administrations to maximize
fund releases in time for national elections
(that will be in May 2016). The most
visible projects that can be accomplished
are infrastructures and these are now
happening almost all over our country.
District congressmen and national senatorsare asking for fund releases for their pet
projects (not PDAF).
TIMELY CALL: The expert observation of
the Oceania nancial leaders augurs well for
the government. If they are being blamed for
the slow releases of funds which hold back
the attainment of our economic goals then
the major releases in the coming months
(if allowed by our election laws) will be
economically justiable. Once the releases
are made and more Filipinos get employed,
these will result in wider distribution of
economic wealth. Consequently, the buying

EDITORIAL
The Name of a Childis TODAY, thus wrote Nobel Laureate
Gabriela Mistral. It is no surprise then why the photo-
graph of a Visayan boy, Daniel Cabrera,showing him doing his homework by tak-ing advantage of the illumination comingfrom the neon signage of a fastfood chainin Mandaue City, went viral and earned thegenerosity of some residents.
Children will always have a soft spot inany human beings heart and photographyhas that power to touch that sensitivity.Perhaps, because we had all been childrenonce, and any depravity experienced by achild similarly kindles some kind of a ragein us.
Surely, that anger arises from a fear ofthe future. What future indeed awaits ourcountry where the needs of children are not
given him today?The photograph shows the human face
of poverty.It shows the kind of exclusive develop-
ment our government is pursuing, whichis urban and always, benecial to who al -ready are in the upper rung of the socialpyramid.
In this kind of development agenda, thelikes of Daniel will always be on the bottom,making do of whatever those above throwat them, like dogs under a banquet table.
Yet, will such a social structure last forlong and until when will it hold its grip onsuch an unjust structure?
The novelist George Orwell says egalite
is never equal, because some are moreequal than others.
His may be a pessimist view of the richwho will only throw tokenisms at the needy,but Daniels photograph also hints of a pos-sible equalizer: education.
How education will spell a difference inour childrens lives in the future, however,is another issue.
For instance, the careless mistakes inthe DepEd textbooks written about by aneducator.
If these kind of errors are perpetuated byour education department today, what dowe make then of our countrys future.
We can only imagine another Daniel
studying under the moonlight.
If you would ask the other Jose,
President Mayor Joseph Estrada, mayor
of Manila, I believe his heart would rather
fall for those laborers who would go
hungry because of the sudden stoppage
of work rather on the empty skies that
cradle a condo construction.That massive edice would translate
to job opportunities and good business
that would rake in tourists and taxes
for the city government, much needed
funds to alleviate the poverty that haunts
the background or view of the Manilaspristine glory and beauty.
This issue of the Torre has been
blown out of proportion as usual by
groups such as the Order of the Knights
of Rizal who are supposed to promote
the ideals and values of Jose Rizal and
not the monuments background to servethe sele-cultured photo lovers, some
tabloid mentality media and riders such as
that guy who donned a Jose Rizal look
alike, barged into a religious ceremony at
the Manila cathedral and shouted at the
clerics, calling them Padre Damaso atthe height of the churchs rejection of theRepublic Health Law a few years back.
Now, the elderly former mayor Alfredo
Lim is using the issue as a political
leverage against his archenemy Estrada.
Rumor had it that he would gunning for
mayor in 2016
So many have taken the nationalistic
stance or perhaps feigned it to gainmedia mileage. However, the core
of many of the opinions I have taken
on the matter is the question, why
complain just now when the condo isalmost at its peak. Somebody must
have been amiss in his job!
At the end of the day, a decision to
demolish the gargantuan edice may
boost the sensibilities of those who
harp on the protection of our nationalpatrimony symbolized by monuments.
On the other hand, rationality or
pragmatism would suffer for demolishing
a 46-story condominium. It would be the
height of the Filipinos ever reactive
dent if not pure and simple naivete.
However, if more practical andconscientious heads gather together,
the Filipinos creativity could circumventthe nuisance into something more
artistically useful such as for instance,
transforming the facade of the whole
46-story stretch into a digital or vidi-wall
or simply a wall painted with the imageof Jose Rizal in full hi-tech illumination
in the evenings.
There is absolutely nothing wrong
in protecting the integral beauty of the
monument as a symbol of the Filipinos
cry for freedom and patrimony. It is always
good to have a nationalistic sense;sense however has to come rst.
If Jose Rizal were alive today, he
would go down from his monument
in Luneta, unmindful of the Torre
at the background and proceed in
haste to Congress to stop the ceding
of our national patrimony to theBangsamoro.
After all it is not giving up the skies
to the Torre cast behind his monument
that bothers the hero; it is the tracks of
geographical lands being ceded by this
government to the Moros.
This is real love for the country andJose Rizal knows that!
Would Dr. Jose Rizal object that there
is a Torre de Manila behind him thatwould give job opportunities for the poor
and good business that would rake in
tourists and taxes for the city governmentneeded to alleviate poverty? The following
column of Fr. Larry Faraon, O.P., in the
Daily Tribune dated June 22, 2015 with its
suggested solutions is worth considering:
This project is even outside the boundary
80 meters of Rizal Park.
If there is anybody who could decidewhether to demolish the photo-bomber
or nuisance Torre de Manila, a 46-story
condominium, perceived as a spoiler to
skyline view of the Rizal Monument in
Luneta, it should be the hero himself, Jose
Protacio Rizal.
All of us must have remembered thatpopular anecdote of Jose Rizal when he
was a boy shing by the lake with his
brother Paciano. He accidentally dropped
one of the pair of his slippers in the water.
Without hesitation, the boy Pepe cast
the other slipper to the astonishment of
his brother.When asked why, Jose Rizal remarked
that at least when a son of a poor
sherman nds the slippers, he would nd
it in pair and be able to use it.
We all know that despite Pepe Rizals
elitist background his heart moved with
heroism for the Indios being repressedby the conquistadores and believing that
the pen is mightier than the sword, waged
a campaign and a movement to liberate
this country from the oppressors who cost
his life but not his dreams.
If I could input into the genius of this
hero, I believe he wouldnt mind having a
nuisance background for his monument.His heart denitely would go for the 400
displaced workers, those hand to mouth
existence laborers daily wage earners
who just lost their jobs indenitely because
of the temporary restraining order (TRO)issued by the Supreme Court, halting the
further construction of the condominium.

Demson Reef now
off-limits to shing
DENR bequeaths accoladeto environmental heroesBy ANA-LIZA S. MACATANGAY
LEGAZPI CITY -- TheCity Government of Legazpihas declared the three-hectareDemson Reef, locally knownas Pulang Buya, in AlbayGulf as off-limits to sher-men.
This marks the start of reha-bilitation works on the 1,200-square-meter coral reef de-stroyed by a Vietnamese cargovessel that ran aground lastmonth at the citys shallow reef,Jess Kallos, City AgricultureOfce chief, said Thursday.
Kallos said the no shingorder is just temporary though itwould deprive hundreds of sh-ermen of daily sh catch.
In an interview, he said the
order will give their ofce suf-cient time to conduct a carefulstudy and plan out rehabilitationmeasures that would restore thedamages wrought by the cargovessel when it ran aground atthe Pulang Buya's shallow reef,four kilometers from the cityshorelines.
He said the Hoang Ang Ship-ping, the owner of the Ocean 3-- a Vietnamese cargo vessel,has earlier paid P4-million tothe city government as settle-ment for the damages it causedto the citys coral reef.
The cargo vessel, with 4,532
gross tonnage and manned by21 Vietnamese crewmen, wasreportedly departing from thecity port after unloading tonsof imported rice from Vietnamwhen it ran aground and rav-aged the citys affected coralreef.
Kallos said the rehabilitationplan also includes an alternativelivelihood program for hun-dreds of displaced shermenthat would not be allowed tocatch sh at the three-hectaremarine reserve.
He said there are at least 937
registered shermen here affect-ed by the no shing order.
Meanwhile, City MayorNoel Rosal directed the city
agriculture ofce to draw up acomprehensive three-year pro-gram that will rehabilitate thecoral reefs and provide alterna-tive livelihood to the affectedsher folk.
Rosal also ordered the put-ting up of a permanent markersurrounding the three-hectareshallow reef to prevent sea ves-sels to cruise in this shallowwaters of Albay Gulf.
Aside from the city BantayDagat patrol, the city will alsoemploy additional men to patrolthe marine reserve on a 24/7 ba-sis. --PNA
episodes, the city is now spar-kling once again as the regionsmost exciting place to stay andinvest.
The city owns a lot of grati-tude to say for the Aquino ad-ministrations overwhelmingsupport to local development,Rosal said. To mention a few ofthese, he said the Php2.1-billionUrban Drainage ImprovementProject which was started in2013 is an ongoing undertak-ing and due for completion byearly next year to end the nag-ging ood problem confrontingthe locality during heavy down-
pours. Another is the megatourism highway project, anabout 10-kilometer paved road
network that will connect thecity with the New LegazpiAirport (also called SouthernLuzon International Airport),
bypassing the trafc-congestedDaraga town.
The new airport which nowongoing construction in Baran-gay Alobo, Daraga is a nationalgovernment project of overPhp4-billion in funds while themega tourism highway is alsoongoing through the Php200-
million fund provided to thecity by the Aquino administra-tion through the Department ofPublic Works and Highways(DPWH). Part of the local andnational governments publicinvestment for access roadsleading to tourist destinations,according to Rosal, this newroad traverses several uplandvillages along the southern sec-tor of the city to become thenew local investment haven andanother site for tourism industrydevelopment.
The prime section of thisnew road is the now-famousLegazpi Boulevard in BarangayPuro, a four-kilometer stretchof wide concrete road bordering
the long beach of Albay Gulfand serving as an artistic mi-lieu for physical tness activi-ties that is well-lighted at night,clean, easily accessible, secureand free from air pollution. Wealso have the ongoing construc-tion of a new boulevard at thenorthern part of this city cover-ing the coastal barangays of Sa-
bang, Pigcale, Centro, Baybayand San Roque being done nowthrough an amount of Php240-million provided by the nationalgovernment, Rosal said.
The boulevard will serve analternative route going to theregional government center inBarangay Rawis down to therst district of Albay. Another
project is the widening fromtwo to four lanes of the YawaBridge with a total funding ofPhp140 million from the Gen-eral Appropriations Act of 2014.Upon completion of this proj-ect, the mayor said, the bridgewill bring multiplier effects toour constituents and the com-munity, as tourists and inves-tors will be more encouraged to

LeadershipPolitics is just a means to an end. It is not a goal in
itself. Those who think otherwise are only interested in
power and do not understand the loftier goals of leader-
ship. A true leader is a servant of his or her followers. As
what the New Testament eloquently put it:
Anyone who wants to be rst must be the very last,
and the servant of all. ~Mark 9:35Many of our politicians pay lip service to the idea of serv-
ing the people but many of them are obviously only inter-
ested in the prestige, power and possible economic gains
that are associated with being elected to a political ofce.
There are indeed incidental and ofcial perks and privileg-
es accorded to an elected ofcial but these should not be
the main reasons why a politician should aspire for a posi-
tion. In principle, these perks and privileges are granted tomake the burden of leading a bit less stressful.
Leading and politics are virtually intertwined but not nec-
essarily synonymous. The word politics was derived from
from the Greek word politicos (), which means
"of, for, or relating to citizens." This also has a direct con-
nection with the polis or city-state in ancient Greece. On
the other hand, leadership is commonly described as a pro-
cess of social inuence in which a leader can gain or enlist
the aid and support of others in accomplishing a common
goal or task. Hence, a leader does not necessarily have to
have an ofcial political position or even a ti tle.
Leaders can rise in any given situation that requires
collective effort and cooperation among various types
of personalities. Leaders are not necessarily the bright-
est or the strongest among the members of a group but
they are typically the ones who have clearer insight about
the direction that the group has to take. Leaders cor-
rectly recognize the abilities of others and know how todelegate the appropriate tasks. However, leaders do not
merely delegate tasks but participate in doing tasks and
they are capable of coordinating the various tasks being
performed by others in a group. They have the capacity
to inspire and sustain the enthusiasm and commitment of
group members especially in times of difculty.
Leaders may not have a complete picture of what lies
ahead but their vision is clear enough to anticipate the
obstacles and opportunities. Oftentimes, it is inevitable for
a leader not to play politics, especially when it comes to a
large group of people with varying motivations and abili-
ties. However, it is possible for a person to be astute in
politics without actually having any real leadership skills.
Playing politics has the bad connotation of using dirty
tactics in a classic Machiavellian way. This implies lying,
cheating and stealing. Nonetheless, a true leader does
not need to resort to this ruthless political philosophy justto accomplish collective goals. A good leader simply nds
a way to make his followers feel that they have a stake
and important role in pursuing the groups goals. Good
leaders are excellent in making people realize that they
have something signicant to contribute and also gain in
the process.

Education and ReligionBy SOFIA A. BAILE, MT-1, SMESEducation is one of the most impor-
tant part in the life of every people. This
is the main reason why all the countries
around the word make it possible to in-
clude in their Constitution a provision
that every child should receive educa-
tion. Whether in public or private school
is not important. What is important is to
be educated. In education, we discover
so many things. We demonstrate differ-
ent situations that make us experience
the different feelings or emotions while
learning many perceptions that make
many changes in our lives. Education
is not only for young and adult but it is
intended to every living creature to havea better living.
On the other hand, religion exists
in all societies even before the early
times. Religion is focused on the strong
faith to God of an individual. It is usu-
ally practiced through rituals associated
with cultures and beliefs of the people.
All the people have the right to choose
whatever religion they wish to be with.
Different religions are everywhere. What-
ever religion a person has doesnt matter
since most of their teachings are focused
on the belief that there is only one God,
the most Powerful One that can make all
things possible. Religion is Sacred. Most
religious teachings focus on doing the
right thing to other, having a prayerful life
and entrusting all things to the Lord.Education and Religion are a per-
fect combination to the life of a person.
Teachers play a very important role
in educating people. If a teacher
has a strong faith in the Lord and
experience the abundant blessings
of God, it will be very easy for him to
educate others since God is present
in him. God will make it easy for him
to learnthe theories to be imparted to
the students and the kind of methods,
strategies and approaches that he/
she might use.
Educators must learn to appreci-
ate the blessings of God. They are
blessed being chosen to be a mentor
in a school where they have been de-
ployed. They should always be com-petent and dedicated in order to be
worthy of Gods abundant blessings.

Albay to give added perksto village health workers
LEGAZPI CITY -- TheSangguniang Panlalawiganof Albay on Wednesday ap-proved a resolution thatwill provide incentives and
benets to qualied baran-gay health workers (BHWs)currently providing healthservices in the villages of theprovince.
Board Member Herbert S.Borja, committee on healthchair and author of the ordi-nance entitled, An OrdinanceGranting Incentives and Bene-ts to All Qualied Entitled Ba-rangay Health Workers (BHWs)Assisting in the Implementationof Health Services Program ofthe Provincial Government ofAlbay (PGA), Providing FundsTherefor and for Other Purpos-es, said it aims to recognizethe service and importance ofBHWs.
"It acknowledges the factthat as primary health care ser-vice providers, the BHWs are
exposed to extreme health risksand hazards," Borja said.
With health as one of the toppriorities of the PGA as man-dated by Governor Joey Sarte
Salceda, this ordinance placesgreat value on BHWs and rec-ognizes that they rely largelyon the meager honorarium thatthey receive and, thus, the needfor conferring upon them pro-vincial benets and incentiveson top of what they are alreadyreceiving, he said.
Qualied BHWs who are ac-tively and regularly performingtheir duties shall be entitled to acash incentive of not less thanPHP1,000 given every Decem-
ber, prioritization to the Point-of-Care PhilHealth Programfor non-PhilHealth members,trainings, education and careerenrichment programs, a secondgrade civil service eligibility for
BHWs who have rendered veyears continuous service, andfree legal services for cases of
coercion, interference, and civiland criminal cases led by oragainst them arising out of orin connection with the perfor-mance of their duties as such,
To avail of the incentivesand benets provided by theordinance, BHWs in Albayshould go to and register withthe Provincial Health Ofce,with proof of registration fromtheir respective local health
board that they are registeredBHWs.
To qualify and be issued aCerticate of Entitlement, aBHW must obtain and presenta certication that he or shehas actively performed his/herassigned tasks which shall beissued by the rural health mid-wife or the Punong Barangaywhere the concerned BHW isassigned or appointed and at-tach the same to his/her annual
accomplish report to the PHOwhere it will be validated.-PNA
Called the PNR Moderniza-tion Program, the Php177-billionproject will cover the rehabilita-tion of the 653-kilometer railwayfrom Tutuban to Legazpi, then
P177-B PNR BICOL ROUTE . . .
Sorsogon.Salceda said he has been
pushing for the PNR southboundrehabilitation that would give lifeagain to the once Bicol pride but
now idle Bicol Express route andthat the Department of Trans-portation and Communication isready to auction off the PNR rail-way project to interested bidders.
He said Ayala is eyeing part-nership with Metro Pacic,adding he has also personallydiscussed the matter with SMCpresident Ramon S. Ang.
As chairman of the RegionalDevelopment Council, Salceda la-mented that since Typhoon "Rem-ing" struck in November 2006,the PNR south-bound travel toLegazpi City has yet to be realizeddue to damages in railroad tracks,surfacing from time to time, espe-cially in the Quezon area, everytime a typhoon occurs.
Certain Bicolano leaders,however, are contemplating onblocking the DOTC's plan to con-duct the bidding process of themultibillion-peso PNR modern-ization project, describing it as a
wasteful spending.Known civic leader Melvin
SJ Del Puerto of Naga City toldsenators during the recent Senate
hearing conducted by the sub-committee D of the Senate com-mittee on public services chairedby Senator JV Ejercito that themuch-vaunted PNR moderniza-tion plan is only a waste of mon-ey, if not changed.
Del Puerto raised serious con-cern during Ejercitos commit-tee hearing that the PNR megaproject will not bring signicantlong-term benets, consideringthat the huge amount will not beused for modernization or acqui-sition of more modern high speedtrains, which run on a StandardGauge Railways (SGR), but only
for repair and refurbishing of out-dated and slow-moving trains,saying the latter are the only onesallowed to run on a SGR.
Invited by the Senate as a re-source person, Del Puerto empha-sized that the modernization musthave the purpose of providingshorter travel time and durable,reliable train units.
PNR travel time from Manilato Naga City entails a minimumof 12 hours, and 15 to 17 hours toLegazpi, he told the Senate.
Del Puerto explained thatshould the modernization shift
to the SGR with modern andfaster trains, travel time couldbe reduced by 50 percent, whichhe said should be the purpose ofmodernization.
According to Del Puerto,present trains are running un-der the narrow gauge, only fourunits are deemed repairable forits long-haul service and will eatup so much funds for its periodicmaintenance and repair, virtu-ally considering them unt andunreliable for the 653-kilometerManila-Bicol run.
The Bicolano civic leader ap-pealed to the DOTC and the Na-
tional Economic DevelopmentAuthority to hold in abeyance thebidding process for the P177-bil-lion modernization plan until hisrecommendations to consider themodern technology are includedin the program.
Del Puerto lamented that ofthe P177 billion, the Tutuban Legazpi Sorsogon route willget only around 30 percent of theP52 billion; while the Tutuban Calamba route , which willbe elevated like the LRT andMRT, gets the biggest slice ofP125 billion.

The meeting was organizedby MNCCI in partnership withthe Baao Parish Multi-PurposeCooperative and TRIAS SEA, a Belgian non-governmentorganization which extendsfunding assistance to microand small entrepreneurs andmarginalized farmers and sh-ers in poor communities inSoutheast Asia.
Albero said the facility willstart operating in time for theopening of the 11th Bicol Busi-ness Week (BBW) on Septem-

Jay Ablan, Senior Tradeand Industry DevelopmentSpecialist of DTI-CamarinesSur, said that the Go NegosyoCenters will provide MSMEswith business registration as-sistance, business advisoryservices, business information,and advocacy and monitoringand evaluation of business pro-cesses.
The Go Negosyo Centerswill be linked to the Philip-
pine Business Registry System(PBRS) to make it easier andfaster for entrepreneurs to startand register their businesses atthe local level, he said.
BBW is the biggest annualtrade event in the region whichis highlighted by a trade fairand state-of-the-art, as well aslocal products and services,seminars and trainings on dif-ferent entrepreneurial skillsand strategies, business match-ing and networking opportuni-
ties with various enterprisesand businessmen from differ-ent Bicol provinces and evenother regions of the country.
Aquino said the Go Nego-syo Center that will rise herewill be among the rst 100 to
be put up in other municipali-ties in the country. The youngsenator and namesake of hiscousin-president was also inthe city in November for the
blessing and inauguration ofrefurbished Market Enterpriseand Promotions Ofce, therenovated fresh sh section,and the Materials RecoveryFacility, all at the Naga CityPeoples Mall.
Mindful of MSMEs role askey partners in nation build-ing, the chairman of the SenateCommittee on Trade, Com-merce and Entrepreneurshipsaid that it is only tting thatthey be rewarded with facilitythat would enable them to domore with regards to their en-trepreneurial transactions.
Aquino said the establish-ment of Go Negosyo Centerwill allow small and micro en-trepreneurs to obtain coordina-
tive links with public and pri-vate institutions by providingthe MSMEs with nancing,marketing, and technology-ex-change opportunities, as wellas acquisition of equipmentand tools by product manufac-turers and processors.
Local entrepreneurs willalso experience doing busi-ness-matching and network-ing, and other entrepreneur-ial transactions with otherMSMEs in other regions thruthe Negosyo Centers that areto be established in differentcities and municipalities acrossthe country.
The senator is targeting atleast 500 operational NegosyoCenters nationwide by 2016
and 1,600 by 2019.Mayor John Bongat, whose
administration is lauded by thebusiness sector for continuous-ly supporting the owering ofMSMEs which his administra-tion has actualized in his ownGrOW Negosyo project, citedthe importance of collabora-tion among those in govern-ment and private sectors in theoperation of a productive Ne-gosyo Center in the city.
Bongat told the forum that
The committee's main func-
tion is to study the appropri-
ate programs in an area and
endorse necessary actions toenhance the organic farming

Among these are a series
of training sessions on the

inputs.
Daep said there are areas in
the province that are known for
organic farming like the townof Polangui, with its musco-
vado sugar product and Kawa-
Kawa in Ligao City that serves
as a learning site for organic
farming and is headed by Dex-

LEGAZPI CITY -- The
Provincial Government of
Albay has gone full blast
in enlarging the coverage
of organic farming in the
province.
Gov. Joey Sarte Salceda
said this is in line with the im-
plementation of Republic Act.
No. 10068 or the Organic Ag-
riculture Act of 2010, which
asks local government units
to have organic farming.
Based on the Act, ve per-
cent of the total agricultural
land of every province, town,
or city should have gone or-
ganic by 2016.
In Albay, the implemen-
tation of the RA10068 was
strengthened by Provincial
Ordinance No. 001-2013
passed on Sept. 6, 2013 by the
Sangguniang Panlalawigan of
Albay headed by Vice Gover-
nor Harold Imperial.
The ordinance was au-
thored by Board Member
Ramon Alsua, a known ag-
riculturist and agricultural
landowner.
Eleanor Daep, senior pro-
vincial agriculturist and con-
tact person of the Provincial
Organic Agriculture, said the
province has a total agricul-
tural land area of 145,503.35
hectares (ha).
Of these, 20,675 ha are ir-
rigated; 5,478 ha are rainfed;
108 ha are upland; 99,976 ha,
coconut land; 8,334 ha, corn;
4,624 ha, abaca; 1,167 ha,
pili; and 5,141.35 ha for high-
value commercial crops in-
cluding vegetables, root crops
and bananas.
Daep said the ve-percent
requirement for conversion
into organic farm aims to pro-
tect the state of health of the
entire community and the en-
vironment as well as the inter-
est of the farmers.
She said every LGU has
a Local Technical Commit-
tee for the program, which
is headed by the chief execu-
tive with members from the
departments of Science and
Technology, Environment
and Natural Resources, Edu-
cation and Health and farm-
ers' organization.
