With him are XU President Father Robert Yap and Rep. Rufus Rodriguez. In his speech, Aquino acknowledged Rep. Rodriguez as the first to give him an update in the early morning of December 17, 2011 of the devastation brought by sending to Cagayan de Oro.

Charged before the Mu-nicipal Trial Court in Cities Branch 7 here were certain ‘Wang’ and ‘Kim,’ both are reportedly Koreans who were renting a house in Matina, Davao City.

The City Prosecution Office filed the charges against the suspects based on information provided by the suspects’ house helper who was invited for ques-tioning after the recovery of the ‘tukos’ at the suspect’s rented house.

ZAMBOANGA City––Some business establishment own-ers are not complying with the new wage order pro-viding for an increase of P12 per day on top of the current minimum wage, a labor official here said.

Michael Yee of the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) made the disclosure following complaints reaching his office of the alleged viola-tion committed by some employers in the city.

He said most of the com-plainants are employees of retail establishments in the city.

He added that the new wage order granting an additional P12 per day to the basic salary of a pri-vate employee took effect

Zambo ‘bizmen’ violate wage lawsNovember 25, 2011.

Wage Order No. RIX-17 provides new minimum wage rates in the Zamboanga Peninsula Region 9 for all industries and categories and any violation is punish-able by law.

For non-agricultural workers that include private hospital, educational insti-tutions, security agencies, janitorial and retail/service establishments employing more than 30 workers the basic pay is P255 plus P12 or P247 daily wage.

Agricultural workers as in rubber plantations in the peninsula are supposed to receive P242 from the previous rate of P230 a day.

Non-plantation work-ers and cottage industry and handicraft workers are

entitled to a daily wage of P222 from the previous salary of P210.

Yee, however, clarified that in the case of private educational institutions, the share of covered workers and employees in the increase in tuition for school year 2011-2012 comply with the applicable minimum wage rates prescribed in the Wage Order No. 17.

“Under this wage order, payment of any difference will be given starting school year 2012-2013,” he said.

The wage order also said that private educational institutions that did not increase their tuition for school year 2011-2012 may defer compliance with the wage until school year 2012-2013. CD with wire reports

KIDAPAWAN City––The New Peoples’ Army (NPA) operating in South and Central Mindanao has owned up the burning last Monday of a private vehicle owned by a landowner in Makilala, North Cotabato.

In a statement issued to media Wednesday, Macario Dilaab, spokesperson for the Mount Alip Operations Command of the NPA Front 72, said they decided to torch the Suzuki multi-cab owned by Ezequiel Vega because of his alleged unfair labor practices towards his plantation workers.

Vega owns at least 60 hectares of rubber farms in Makilala town.

Dilaab said that Vega has terminated a number of workers in his farms and failed to give benefits due them.

Vega denied the allegations saying he has treated his workers fairly and even gave them more than what they needed.

“I have helped them (workers) erect their houses inside my farms with water and electric connections. I gave them bonuses every December and sent them to resorts during Christmas parties,” said Vega.

Vega told Makilala PNP he witnessed the torching of his Suzuki multi-cab, which he used daily to visit his farm.

Around 10:30 a.m. Monday, three armed men iden-tifying themselves as members of the NPA went inside his compound. Two of the suspects poked their guns on him while the other one poured on the gasoline on his multi-cab.

“They told me to stay put as they burned my vehicle. I was praying they won’t kill me,” said Vega.

Vega said they are contemplating on filing arson charges against the NPAs.

“It was so unfortunate this group was given wrong information about me and my family. They should have asked me if the reports that reached them were true,” said Vega.

The Makilala PNP has already invited six of Vega’s plantation workers whom they believed could give hints as to the identities of the suspects.

Council in Opol to stop hydraulic mining activi-ties there? What we did in Lantad we should also do in Opol,” he told this reporter.

Babiera said the min-ing activities in Opol is “a very complex problem” that needs the efforts of all sectors of society to stop. And the best template for this coordinative effort is Lantad.

“The hydraulic min-ing operations in Opol are illegal, thus the need for law enforcement. But law enforcement alone can-not stop it. That is why we elevated this very complex problem to the PPOC where everything is coordinated and orchestrated like what we did in Lantad,” said Gov-ernor Oscar Moreno.

Moreno’s leadership was pivotal in “conquering” Lan-tad from the clutches of the Communists. He provided the leadership of the PPOC in “winning the hearts and minds” of its residents — mostly of Higaonon ancestry — by bringing in the full force of the government into the effort. Along with then PPOC co-chairman Ariel C. Hernandez of the Balay Mindanaw Foundation, Inc. (BMFI), who brought the force of the Civil Society Organizations and church groups into the effort, Lan-tad was conquered without a single gunshot fired and without bloodshed.

And Moreno, Babiera and Teddy Sabugaa, PPOC executive director, are hell-bent on conquering the mining areas of Opol ho-listically.

“If we can do it in Lan-tad, there is no reason we cannot do it in any other place,” Moreno once said.

Babiera, however, readily admitted that unlike Lantad — where there was only one enemy, insurgency — the mining problem in Opol is a whole “new territory” for PPOC since it involves a whole spectrum of issues ranging from livelihood to total indifference of the people to the plight of the environment.

“In our Lantad experi-ence, everyone was involved that is why it was easy for us in the Capitol. Besides, we only had one enemy there, insurgency. In Opol, we are dealing with a very complex problem,” he said.

“The problem is very complex that solving it needs collaborative effort between the Municipal council and

Provincial council. And we are hoping that Cagayan de Oro will join in this effort since most of the persons operating hydraulic mining are from the city,” he added.

Environment and nat-ural resources officer of Misamis Oriental, Conrado “Dodong” Sescon, has iden-tified 14 persons operating hydraulic machines used in the illegal mining activities along Iponan River, specifi-cally in barangays Bagocboc, Tingalan, Nangcaon and Cauyunan.

Sescon said that all of those doing hydraulicking activities along the Iponan River in the Misamis Ori-ental side are residents of Cagayan de Oro City. Sescon identified them as Dulper Gayla (of Pagalungan vil-lage), Alfredo Mendoza Jr. (Tagpangi), Allan Paredez (Iponan), Rey Tolentino (Tuburan), Odoy Rosales (Tuburan), Ondo Gaupan (Tuburan), Pedro Legaspi (Taglimao), Carmelito Man-linumbay (Pagalungan), Inday Agbu (Buena Oro), Abet Nambatac (Buena Oro), James Tutu (Piniki-tan), and a certain Aming of Taglimao.

He also identified two mining operators in Ip-onan who are residents of of Salawaga, Tingalan, Opol. They are Ronelo Luntayaw and Asor Ibabacor.

Also City Councilor Ed-gar Cabanlas said Mayor Vicente Emano had used “special permits” to allow mining companies he iden-tified as Dinamet Mining Corporation, Yellow Stone Development Corporation, SNS Metal Trading Corp., White Pearl Asia Corpora-tion, Perfect World Mining Corporation, Javez Hinter-land Resources and Cagayan de Oro Finest Metals to operate in Iponan.

Hydraulic mining along the Iponan River is the cul-prit for the change of color of the river—from pristine green to chocolate brown.

“The waters of Iponan River have also been de-scribed as perennially brown because of the uninterrupted hydraulic flush mining over the past decade that has scarred its riverbanks and caused the severe siltation of its riverbed. The outly-ing barangays of Taglimao, Canitoan, Iponan, Bulua, and Barra have experienced the widespread overflow of this river. Other tributaries affecting the barangays of Cugman and Agusan also need to be safeguarded,” said Archbishop Antonio J. Ledesma, SJ. (Bong D. Fabe)

Robredo enjoined ba-rangay officials to follow

disaster protocols, install early warning systems, as well as conduct regular drills and exercises in order to prepare their constituents in addressing the adverse eff ect of disaster.

He encouraged village offi cials to organize rescue teams, emergency group of responders and community service brigades that will

provide immediate assistance to the victims of disasters.

He stressed that in time of calamities, barangay of-ficials should open their communication lines for easy coordination with lo-cal authorities, volunteer groups and other govern-ment agencies concerned, to ensure immediate assistance whenever needed.

RAISINg the ad valorem tax on idle private lands to 10 percent from the pres-ent fi ve percent is neces-sary to serve as deterrent against non-utilization of these properties for productive purposes and to encourage local govern-ment units to maximize their revenue potential. The proponent of the said issue, Rep. Roger Mercado of Southern Leyte) said that despite present laws levying an-nual taxes on idle lands, large tracts of privately-owned lands have re-mained undeveloped over the years. “Th e laws failed to ef-fectively control the unjust and unproductive practice of rich individuals, part-nerships and corporations of acquiring vast tracts of lands to speculate for profi t on the future in-crease in the market value of such lands,” he said. Mercado, chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, said landowners would rather let their lands remain idle than invest money for their cultivation, utili-zation and development since, in time, the market value of lands, whether utilized or not, would still increase. “Unfortunately, such practice hinders the use of our limited natural re-sources to the fullest and prevents their equitable distribution to those who need them most,” Mercado said. Mercado cited that under Section 42 of Presi-dential Decree No. 464 entitled “Enacting A Real Property Tax Code” dated

CAL AMBA, Misamis Occidental- Calamba-nons celebrated their 64th Araw ng Calamba on February 14 with the theme: Gugma Tulay sa Kahi-usahan, Kalinaw, ug Kalambo-an. Though munic ipa l mayor Luisito Vil lan-ueva Jr. was not around, (at press time he is still in Malaysia on official trip), local officials who were left behind respon-sibly proceeded with the simple but enjoyable and successful celebration. In an interview, the First Lady- SB member Ezel T.

June 1, 1974, the Presi-dent of the Philippines, at his discretion or upon recommendation by the Secretary of Finance, may authorize provinces, cit-ies and municipalities to levy, assess and collect an additional real property tax on idle private lands at a rate of not exceeding two percent per annum based on the assessed value of the property. This is to provide local governments with ad-equate funds with which to underwrite basic and essential public services. This was subsequently amended by P.D. No. 1446 dated June 11, 1978 by imposing an additional real property tax on idle lands at the rate of five percent per annum based on the assessed value of the property as deter-mined by the provincial, city or municipal assessor. At present, the Lo-cal Government Code or Republic Act 7160 provides in Section 236 that LGUs may levy an annual tax on idle lands at the rate of fi ve percent of the assessed value of the property which shall be in addition to the basic real property tax.

THINK a minute.A few years ago Mike

Tyson fought Evander Holyfied for the world heavyweight champion-ship title.

During the fight, Tyson got so angry he actually bit off a part of Holyfield’s ear!

Most of us know that it takes a much stronger man to control his own anger than to let it control him.

Many homes are not happy because the husband and wife haven’t learned to control their anger and fight by the rules.

Of course, I don’t mean fist fighting, but rather arguing with words.

There are 5 s imple guidelines for fighting that would make a big differ-ence in many marriages and homes.

The 1st one is smart

How to be a good fighter

timing. If you are still an-gry, then it’s usually better to wait until both of you are in a better mood.

“Take time out before you take it out on each other!” As one lady who‘d been married over 35 years said: “I’ve learned never to tell my husband bad news on an empty stomach!”

The 2nd guideline is to allow the other person the right to say, “I’m angry.” Let them tell you how they feel.

If we don’t let others

express their anger in a healthy way, then it will continue to build up until we finally blow up! Then we can deeply hurt each other with the angry, even hate-ful, things we say and do.

Remember, our feelings are not right or wrong, but they’re still real; so we need to allow each other the freedom to say how we feel.

Number 3: Know ex-actly why you’re angry. Sometimes the thing that

started us feeling so angry was only a small even silly thing. But behind it is the real problem which we need to talk about it.

The 4th guideline to fighting in marriage is to realize that your anger is the enemy, not your wife or husband. So stay on the same side and fight together against the anger that’s hurting your family.

The final guideline is you have to invite God to the fight. You need to ask Jesus Christ to take control of your heart and marriage.

Only He can give you the willpower, love and self-control you need to start winning your fight against your uncontrolled anger that will hurt, even destroy, your marriage and family.

THE GOVERNMENT is not reliable when it comes to disaster prepared-ness and survival.

While it is true that the government has varied approaches in dealing with disasters, it is the lookout of every person, groups or family members to be vigilant at all times.

Information and physical as-sistance (delivery of relief goods, medicines) are the only two impor-tant things that a government could extend whenever a disaster occurred. All the other requirements rest on individual or group’s common sense. This is survival!

In the provinces of Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur, flood is a common occurrence. People living along the riverbanks in Agusan River have more than one effective lesson in dealing with it.

Modern technology cannot hinder the occurrence of flood, earthquake, landslide or any disaster. Except for landslide and earthquake, flood can easily be de-termined and unnecessary deaths avoided.

Based on experience, the extent of damage a flood can inflict is quantifiable. People living in flood prone rivers know when a flood is likely to occur. They have intuitive judgment on the amount of rainfalls enough to trigger flash flood. They know the next thing to happen and are prepared to deal with it.

If the city government needs anyone who could share disaster preparedness in its real sense of the word, it

Disaster preparedness is common sensehas to share real-life experience of survivors.

Neither imported technologies nor the eloquence of lecturers who have never been victims themselves can impart disaster preparedness. Survivors are the only people who can objectively relate disaster prepared-ness strategies.

On the other hand, the government can extend as-sistance by way of information and physical assistance. Information on things for survival is very important. These are not complicated things.

Here is a tip from survivors of perennial flash flood. Families living near the river must have flashlights and battery operated transistor radios. If ever, one must have, at least, a loaded and fully charged cellular phone wrapped in cellophane or waterproof compartment. Floaters serving as ‘life savers’ should also be around. Example of this is one or two big rubber interiors.

A file of wooden timbers tied or attached together where a small stock room built on top of it at the back-yard. When flood comes in, these wooden timbers will serve as floating house for family members. An eight to 10-meter sturdy 1.5’’abaca or plastic rope is basic. Plastic containers for potable water, disposable light-ers, jungle bolo and knife should be part of stocks at the floating house.

If the area is far from the city or whenever relief goods takes more than 48 hours to arrive, it is also advisable to stock canned goods, rice, noodles, dried fish, salt and seasoning intended to last for four to five days for a family of five. Stay in one place until rescue or relief arrived. React: crisguardian@yahoo.com

Disaster managementRECENTLY, there have been some natural disasters for example in Philippines and Indonesia. It can be earth-quakes, typhoons, floods or tsunami.

Such natural disasters have affected the coun-tries and their people, with some miserable experiences. When we ponder these di-sasters, we can think what we can do, especially the youth or young people.

This topic makes me remember the fact concern-ing the youth’s perception towards the disasters in their environment.

I was so shocked when I noticed the fact that most of young people are ignorant of their environment. It was the time when I presented a research paper in the AS-HAIL conference held in October 2006 in Jakarta. It was twelve years ago.

The research paper I pre-sented was on the perception of the students of universi-ties towards the disaster in their environment, with the sample only the students in one of the universities in my city, Surabaya.

The fact was that most of the students were ignorant of their environment espe-cially toward the disaster.

The conference was held after the earthquake, killing thousands of people, hap-pened in North Sumatra Island, Indonesia in 2004.

Thus, two years after

DR. DJUWARISTIE Perbanas (College of Economics and Business)Surabaya, Indonesia

the devastating tragedy in Indonesia, in which the nation was in miserable condition after that.

Since the conference which was held had the theme of Disaster man-agement, I was inspired directly by that tragedy and conducted a quick research using the survey.

Unfortunately, most of the students were so busy with their tasks dealing with their study. Many of them were burdened by their du-ties related to doing some assignments and keeping their academic performance in a higher achievement.

Due to such a condition, they were so preoccupied with academic activities so that it created another impact that was on their less concern about the disaster in their environment.

Besides that, they said that they didn’t know what

POST Traumatic Stress Dis-order is a reality, is more common than we think, and crosses all boundaries: meaning it is unselective as to who would get affected by it.

The stigma that is at-tached to most if not all mental or psychological ill-nesses is such that, we often try to hide, are embarrassed to admit and seek help.

It is in recognizing the symptoms and the realiza-tion that help is needed and is available, that may spell the difference, between healing, and worsening of the condition.

PTSD occurs after a traumatic event in one’s life: it may be as a direct participant or merely as an observer.

The experience may vary from person to person: one event may precipitate a PTSD to one, but not to another.

Coping with post traumatic stress disorder

Most of these traumatic experiences may involve loss of a loved one, casual-ties in cases of war, natural calamities like being victims of flooding ( Sendong Trag-edy ), of earthquakes( as is present in Negros Oriental now ), volcanic eruptions, and even the loss of one’s source of livelihood.

Among women, the most common cause would be either rape or domestic violence. Children are not exempt from experiencing PTSD.

For most of us, a trau-matic experience is some-

thing that can be viewed with some degree of sadness and a passing feeling of helplessness. But in PTSD, the helplessness is coupled with hopelessness, such that it overwhelms the person and these feelings may last for more than 30 day.

I believe that there are still Kagayanons out there who still are suffering from PTSD, after the Sendong Tragedy, which is 60 days past already.

It is often said that just being female makes one more at risk of developing PTSD.

Although, it is difficult and kind of impossible really to predict who will develop PTSD, the presence of a his-tory of previous traumatic event in one’s life, like de-pression, anxiety and other psychological illnesses, may make one prone to experi-encing PTSD.

Symptoms of the ill-ness vary, and it may be in the form of trouble in sleeping, recurring dreams, nightmares, fear, or even detachment. Irritability, anger, emotional outbursts can likewise be manifesta-tions of PTSD.

One friend says that, each time the rains come, her fear is such that she would start packing her things! Children and ado-lescents may have similar manifestations as that with adults.

I recall an incident shared by a social worker

CORPORATE UPDATES:

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Pepsi-Cola Products Phil-ippines, Inc., a publicly-listed major beverage firm in the country, has invested P500 million to expand and improve its operations in this city aimed at reach-ing out to the Northern Mindanao region and other provinces in the far south. According to Virgilio Salvador, General Manager of the CDO operations, the multi-million peso invest-ment in what is known as the “City of Golden Friendship,” demonstrates the company’s confidence in the region’s potential as a good product market. The CDO plant began operations in 1967 and has expanded since, servicing more than 25,000 outlets across Mindanao. It covers the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occiden-tal, Camiguin, Bukidnon, the two Lanaos, Zamboanga del Sur, the Agusan prov-inces, the two Surigaos on the eastern seaboard and Dinagat. The state-of-the-art bottling line is capable of manufacturing both carbon-ated and non-carbonated Pepsi beverages in Cagayan de Oro, noted for its acces-sibility, business growth and tourism potential, and the nearby provinces. Pepsi carbonated bever-ages include Pepsi-Cola, Mirinda, 7Up, Mug Root Beer and Mountain Dew; non-carbonated beverages are Gatorade, Lipton Iced Tea, Tropicana, Sting and Premier water.

PCPPI gives additional muscle to its Cagayan de Oro plant

PCPPI President Partha Chakrabarti said it was nec-essary to install a new line to provide additional capacity for the expanding market in the regions and take the lead in increasing the availability of non-carbonated beverages in what heretofore was described as the “Land of Promise.” The strategic location of Cagayan de Oro, dubbed “Gateway to Northern Mind-anao” with a broad consumer and manpower base, will give the company faster time in delivering additional products to the Davao area and the Zamboanga peninsula. The improvements in the new line are expected to bring cover automated palletizing and de-palletizing machine, automation, soft packing and de-casing of glass bottles, on line case washing, flexibility and capability to produce non-carbonated beverage, automated clean in place sys-tem for internal sanitation, better infrastructure as well as properly ventilated and clean room areas. With the new line, PCPPI officials are hopeful the pro-duction target will increase by nearly 80 per cent. The CDO expansion jibes with Chakrabarti’s statement that the company will continue to push its products forward

to the discriminating con-sumers.. Earlier, the PCPPI execu-tive has announced that the company has set aside $75 million as capital expenditure in 2012 to put up bottling lines, expand and accel-erate product distribution and establish the company’s presence in more stores and outlets. Part of the expan-sion he said is the decision to launch new products this year such as Milkis carbon-ated milk and a brand of coconut water. The CDO business hub will be complemented by a new bottling line in Zambo-anga City that will also start operation within the year. While PCPPI officials feel challenged by the ex-panding market, they are similarly excited by the fact that its CDO operations has – despite automation – generated direct and indirect employment for more than 1,000 people, with roughly 6,000 immediate members of their families depending on them. Recently, PCCPI also extended immediate help to victims of Typhoon Sendong by opening its CDO water facilities and donating the company’s bottled water brand, Premier, to evacuees.

Coco water partnership. Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI) has partnered with Peter Paul Philippine, Corporation (PPPC) to launch PCPPI’s latest product offering that is touted to become the next global health drink. In the presence of PCPPI Chairman and CEO Hwang Chung (second from right), PCPPI President Partho Chakrabarti (left from center) and PPPC President Jose T. Quimson shake hands after signing the contract recently in Makati. Also witnessing the event are (from left): PCPPI Adviser to the Chairman Antonio Ongpin, PPPC Marketing Manager Rhoey Lee Dakis, PPPC Chief Finance Officer Danilo Garcia , and PCPPI Chief Finance Officer Akash Shah (extreme right).

Stratworks is the most awarded agency at Philippine Quill Awards 2011STRATEGIC Works, Inc. (Stratworks), one of the country’s leading indepen-dent marketing communica-tions agencies took home ten trophies at the prestigious Philippine Quill Awards 2011 presented by the In-ternational Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Together with its clients, Stratworks was the most awarded agency this year with three excellence awards, three merit awards and four finalist trophies.

Coalition advocates for Freedom of InformationREGION 1 - The Right to Know, Right Now coalition, a network of 150 civic and media groups, is pushing for the passage of Freedom of Information (FOI) law. The coalition said the President’s endorsement of the proposed FOI bill achieves two things -- First, the President’s endorsement removes the main reason why the bill has been stalled in the legislative wringer, particularly at the House of Representatives. Second, the endorsement resolves the “concerns” about the bill, thereby reducing the danger of a Presidential veto.

issued official records.The governor loaded to her

order DepEd Surigao Norte Divi-sion’s Memo 08-2012, entitled : SUBMISSION OF TAX CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE ANNUALLY.

Bishop Timbang said, the Church believes that even if the Executive Order is backed by an ordinance, “it is still immoral

and unconstitutional, since it infringes on the constitutional right to labour, including the right to just compensation.

Speaking for and on behalf of thousands of ‘Filipinistas’ in Surigao del Norte and Dinagat Province, Bishop Timbang further calls it unreasonable for the governor to bother the people with taxes that are not related to compensable works... “a grave violation of the Labor Code, which protects the right to labor.”

He said the Church also believes that the DepEd has no legal authority to impose such tax clearance certificates on graduating students.

Bishop Timbang called on Gov. Matugas to recall order and direct all concerned to

seriously, strictly and diligently collect taxes and conduct tax consciousness activities in the province.

He also urged the DepEd Division to withdraw Memo 08-2012 and advise school officials to promote tax consciousness among the students, parents and teachers; and the Provincial Board not to enact any new tax laws, “since our problem is all about serious, strict and diligent tax collections.”

All the 23 parish priests in the diocese signed this official statement, “a product of prayer-ful study, reflection, consultation with legal minds and dialogue with church members , par-ents, professionals and ordinary members,” he averred.

CAGAYAN de Oro City––Following the recent dev-astation brought about by Tropical Storm Sendong, the Police Regional Office 10 (PRO-10) conducted a trainers training on disas-ter preparedness to active rescue teams from different parts of the region.

The six-day capability-building activity that fo-cused on basic skills in knot tying, rappelling, rescue and evacuation, first aid and handling of rescue boats, was facilitated .

by six police officers from the PNP National Headquarters, headed by P/Supt Niño Rabaya.

Attended by 94 select police officers and members of Barangay Peace Action Teams (BPATs), the said trainers-training was held at Camp Alagar, this city. (rfmc/jdelpf)

Last of three partsTHE media tabloids began specu-lating that Hopper's cancer was terminal in March, just five months after he announced his diagnosis.

Again, court records revealed what many feared -- Hopper's cancer was in fact terminal.

His lawyer, Joseph Mannis, declared in a court filing that, "It is doubtful that Mr. Hopper will

ever recover sufficiently to be subjected to a deposition."

Hopper is just one of 192,000 men who will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year.

to do when there was disaster such as earthquake, tsunami, typhoon, floods, and the like.

The condition above indicates that in universi-ties—with young people as their students—need to consider the strategy in their whole curriculum.

This curriculum should be related to the skill and knowledge dealing with disaster management. For example, the materials can be inserted in their extra curricular so that they can be introduced to the man-agement of disaster.

So far, there has no dis-cussion focusing on this critical problem. The gov-ernment and the people can also work together discussing the strategy of disaster management in the university curriculum.

Since, Indonesia and other countries in ASEAN, especially with Philippines have the same characteris-tics in their nature, such dis-cussion appears important.

The governments of ASEAN member countries can initiate the program dealing with the disaster management for young people.

It can start from the universities because these institutions are in fact the place of young people with the same ages. They can be empowered in the mobili-zation facing the disasters that may happen in their countries.

It is imperative for the governments of the coun-tries—where the nature is apt to experience natural disasters—to have the same program in managing the disasters in their environ-ments.

Based on the fact, it is difficult to have all young people (the youth) involved in handling the disasters in their environment.

The problem can also be due to the ignorance of the government of a country to deal with the curriculum in universities related to disaster management.

Therefore, the materials of disaster management can now be considered and included in the extra cur-riculum.

Without planning strate-gically, the ignorance of the youth toward their environ-ment will be the symptom of the more dangerous impact on the nation.

when during their psy-chosocial debriefing she mentioned to the children “river” and immediately they ran for cover!

Once PTSD is suspect, seeking professional help is highly recommended.

The sooner the illness is confronted, a favorable out-come is more likely.

One cannot escape one’s emotions completely, and if untreated, each time another stressor comes, it will fur-ther compound the existing problem, thereby making the condition worse and more difficult to treat.

It will not just affect the person with PTSD, but, it can impact one’s rela-tionships and affect family, friends and even work.

Treatment may include desensitization, which means relieving the events and symptoms, thus, making you regain control of your feelings and life.

Family support is very important and will play a crucial role. In cases where this type of treatment fails, our Psychiatrist friends may opt to use medications or Pharmaco-therapy to aid in managing PTSD. Healing may take time, but, it can happen. There is always hope and remember, life is beautiful!

The torching of Vega’s multi-cab last Monday was the third incident since February.

On Friday, the commu-nist guerillas torched five heavy equipment owned by the RDI Construction Company at Barangay San Roque in Kidapawan City.

Three days later, they burned another two heavy equipment owned by a pri-vate construction company in Digos City in Davao del Sur.

Extortion was suspect as motive behind the torching incident, authorities said. CD with wire reports

25 in Calaanan with President Benigno Aquino III and various govern-ment officials, HFH Phil-ippines is looking forward to the completion of the houses in this site in the next three months. The foundation currently has six implementing partners in Calaanan who are on top of the building process of the 1,400 houses.

“It’s a challenge to com-plete the 6,000 houses,” re-marked Charlie Ayco, HFH Philippines Chief Executive Officer and Managing Di-rector. “But if we see the current living conditions of the families in the Tent City and other evacuation areas, there remains no question on our deliverables. We are convinced that shelter is urgently needed by these families. And with the help of partners and volunteers, and by the grace of God, Habitat will surely succeed.”

Habitat has also invited volunteers from local and international organizations to help with the building of homes and community development. Several or-ganizations, such as the Cagayan Evangelical Disas-ter Response Network, Bu-kas Loob sa Diyos–Cagayan

de Oro, and Nadia Emano-Elipe of the local Sangguni-ang Kabataan, have already shown interest to be part of the volunteer sector in the Cagayan de Oro site.

Habitat maintains to be the organization with the biggest response to the Typhoon Sendong calam-ity. Besides building the core shelter in two present sites, it is also continues the distribution of shelter repair kits for the restoration of houses damaged during the floods.

The rest of Luzon will be mostly cloudy with light rains.

As the two vehicles were negotiating the national highway in Sitio Tabon-tabon in Barangay Vic-toria at around 1:35 pm,

the Isuzu Elf, driven by owner Cecilio Melgar III, “accidentally” hit the back portion of the Mitsubishi Wingvan. All the Isuzu Elf passengers “sustained” in-juries all over, police said.

The victims were im-

mediately brought to Adela Serra Ty Memorial Hospi-tal for medical treatment, police added.

Both vehicles were dam-aged and are now under the custody of the Tago police.

“Her publicist has cho-sen one person who will be allowed into the sanctuary and who will be streaming (video) to you all,” Carolyn Whigham, whose Newark funeral home is handling preparations for Houston’s service, told AFP.

Whigham said that jum-bo screens would be set up outside the New Hope Baptist Church, allowing fans of the singer, who died Saturday at the age of 48, to watch the ceremony.

dar. Medics were unable to revive her.

Houston, who possessed one of the greatest-ever singing voices and sold more than 170 million records, fought a long and public battle with substance abuse after her career and personal life went off the rails.

Earlier in the day, New-ark police chief Samuel DeMaio had told the Star-Ledger newspaper that there

would be no funeral proces-sion and no public screens set up, at the request of Houston’s family.

The ceremony, due to begin at noon Saturday (1700 GMT) is by invita-tion only. Houston honed her singing craft at New Hope Baptist Church, and her mother Cissy served as music director there for decades.

Fans were awaiting au-topsy results that may not be made public for up to eight weeks, as speculation rages that the singing legend may have died from a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs and alcohol.

SURIGAO del Norte––Siar-gao Island, the surfi ng and game fi shing (SurFishing) capital of the country, is set to host the 5th Siargao International Game Fishing Tournament in Pilar town this April.

In a report posted on www.siargaoislands.net, organizers said the tour-nament will be participated by anglers from all over the world.

Monton told Mindanao Daily (MD) that the evacu-ees are now temporarily sheltered at the Municipal gym while others are housed at the school classrooms.

“All means were being provided for the evacuees and we urge them not to go back to their houses until the water subside to avoid incidents,” said Monton.

On the data sent by Mayor Monton via text, 52 families are in the Mu-nicipal Gym, 54 families at the school, 12 families at the RHU and 12 families at the school in Barangay Bunga.

In Butuan City, the Agu-san River also elevated to 2.03 meters from the 1.7 meter normal level. The lo-cal government through the Butuan Search and Rescue Team (BUSART) already conducted evaluation on barangays who might be directly affected if water continues to rise.

Mayor Ferdinand “Jun” Amante assured the public that they are in 24 hour watch on the river’s status and relays information to the media from time to time for the public to be notified on possible evacuation.

here. He was director of the archdiocese’s Social Action Center as well as parish priest of the Mi-raculous Medal Parish in Barangay Lumbia when he was elected to replace Bishop emeritus Honesto Pacana of Malaybalay.

Cabantan was among the prime movers of the BWRBF, along with respected Bukid-non civil society leader Francisco “Jun” Mabaso Jr. of the People Power Reform Volunteers. His influence as a church leader and stand as environmentalist made Cabantan the perfect choice to head the BWRBF, said Calingasan.

The CDORBMC, headed by Cagayan de Oro Arch-bishop Antonio J. Ledesma,

SJ, was formed in Novem-ber 2010 to protect and rehabilitate the Cagayan de Oro River’s watershed in light of the rampant mining activities going within the watershed area.

“It is always the stand of the Church to protect the integrity of Creation,” Cabantan told UCA News after the Eucharistic celebra-tion at the St. Augustine Metropolitan Cathedral early Monday night.

Cabantan said that it is important for both Council and Forum to come together and cooperate in crafting a unified plan of action in solving the problems attending the watershed areas of Cagayan de Oro and Bukidnon in order to avoid further floodings in the city, which is considered as the drainage of the catchbasin

that is Bukidnon.The headwaters of the

Cagayan de Oro River are in the Kalatungan and Ki-tanglad mountain ranges in Bukidnon. The whole watershed area of Cagayan de Oro is 177,000 hectares that include parts of the mountain ranges of Bukid-non, while the whole area of the city is only 48,000 hectares.

Mt. Kalatungan (2,824 meters above sea level) and Mt. Kitanglad (2,900 meters ASL) are considered as the second and third tallest mountains in the Philip-pines.

Due to high elevation and lack of vegetation, ex-cess water from an over-flowing catchbasin that is Bukidnon naturally run down the slopes into the drainage area that is Cagay-

an de Oro.“The floodwaters cas-

cade through various tribu-taries and converge along the main river before ram-paging to the settled plains,” said environmentalist Raoul Geollegue, former regional executive director of the Environment department in Northern Mindanao.

Various environmen-talists and cause-oriented groups, prominent of which is the local environment watchdog Task Force Ma-cajalar, have repeatedly called for the protection of the watershed and called for an end to the rampant logging in the area.

According to Geollegue, the watersheds of Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro is now dominated with unproduc-tive farmlots and upland landscape after the original

forests had been cleared by logging and kaingin in the recent past.

“Presently a mosaic of unproductive farmlots dominate the upland land-scape. The slopes of the mountainous areas which are devoted to open culti-vation only aggravate soil erosion and surface run-off. But it is not just the forest lands that should get the blame whenever there is flood. Forest lands occupy only a percentage of the entire catchment. The larger portion of the watershed in fact is the alienable and disposable (A and D) lands purposely set aside for cul-tivation. This portion also receive its equal share of precipitation since rain-fall does not discriminate between forest or A and D lands. But cultivated lands

are not protected by vegeta-tive cover unlike the for-est, so excess rainfall easily develops into flood waters cascading down the creeks since there are no foliage, ground litters and mosses, among others, to hold them in check,” Geollegue said.

With the Sendong trag-edy, it is of utmost impor-tance that “we start doing our share in protecting our watershed,” Cabantan said.

For Geollegue, who warned some 20 years ago about an Ormoc-like trag-edy visiting Cagayan de Oro because of the logging and mining activities in the Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro watersheds, said Sendong is an eye-opener. And since we have already been informed “we have no excuse to be complacent.” (Bong D. Fabe)

more than eighty anglers from the different coun-tries in the world such as Japan, Singapore, Russia, United States, Germany, Switzerland and China to join the tournament,” the report said.

Th e tournament is the largest game fi shing event in the country which has gained full support from both government and fi shing clubs all over the Philippines.

five gunmen disguised as po-licemen in December from his home in the seaside town of Ipil in Zamboanga Sibugay province and brought by boat to Basilan.

There were no reports of casualties in the 20-minute fighting, but troops recovered

bomb materials, binocular and a motorcycle left behind by flee-ing Abu Sayyaf gunmen led by Ustadz Muads, an expert bomber maker, according to Army Colonel Ricardo Visaya, commander of military forces in Basilan, one of five provinces under the Muslim autonomous region.
