Gipamugos sa Roads and Traffic Administation (RTA) nga mokuha una ang operators og baran-gay resolution ayha pa atimanon sa komitiba ang ilahang hangyo.

Nasayran nga adunay ordinansa sa dakbayan nga naga-authorize sa ’motor-cycles with sidecars’ pag-operate tadlas sa nasangpit

niana nga mga barangay.Ubos sa maong balaod,

ang natungdang operators mokuha usab og Mayor’s permit o provisional au-thority gikan sa gobyerno sa dakbayan.

G i s u g y o t u s a b s a RTA ang bag-ong traf-fic scheme diin ang mga motorsiklong-de-sidecar mohatud-kuha lamang sa

Imo bang gihalad sa Dios ang imong mga anak?Tan-awa, si Jesus gibitbit nila sa Templo sa Dios aron ihalad.Kini nindot nga eksina sa ebanghelyo, kay ilang gamatuto si Jesus diha sa katilingban sa Dios.

Ang engkanto sa Balete

Awdiay!

Ruel V. Pelone

ANG dulang Suertres kon 3-digit raffle draws nga gi-pasiugdahan sa Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) maoy hilabihang gikabuangan karon sa kadaghanan.

Ang uban bisan og dili padamguhon gusto ga-yud nga makadamgo og numero sa pamasin nga modaug.

•••Didto sa layong dapit

adunay magtiayon nga walay anak.

Hilabihan gayud ang problema sa bana tungod kay ang iyang asawa nagu-mon naman sa Suertres.

Tiaw mo nga bisan ang depasaherong sakyanan nga masakyan niya paingon ug pauli gikan sa trabaho pangayuon gayud sa iyang asawa matag uli niini––ug kon walay numero nga mahatag, sigurado gyud nga “outside de kulambo”

siya.Aduna gani mga pana-

hon nga kung manilhig kining asawa sa dakong puno-an sa “Balete” masige kini og yawyaw kay sige man kuno siyag kapusoy sa dulang “Suertres.”

Tungod sa ka adik niini sa Suertres, madunggan ni Mister nga mag-ihap ang iyang Misis. Diay, gi-ihap sa iyang misis ang tingog sa “Tuko” kung kanus-a kini maundang aron maoy himoong pamoste inig ka ugma.

Apan bisan pa sa pag-paningkamot ni Misis nga

modaug, kanunay niyang madungog kining iyang asawa nga moingon sa ilang kumpare:

“Matay Pre noh, kung kanang imong tumoy ang maoy miigo sa akong tunga pwerte untang igo-a.”

Usahay, bisan ang “time in” o oras sa pag-abot sa bana didto sa iyang opisina, pangutan-on pa ni Misis.

Adunay mga gabii nga magsigeg yawyaw og nu-mero ang iyang misis––ug ang nakapait kay siya ra ba ang pangutan-on kung unsa nga mga numero ang migawas sa iyang mga

ngabil.Usa ka higayon, sam-

tang nanilhig si Misis ila-won sa dakong punoan sa Balete, adunay usa ka gamay nga papel ang na-hulog. Gipunit kini niya ug dako ang iyang kakurat kay aduna kini upat ka numero nga 279, 289, 772, ug 828.

Wala maglangan ang Misis ug iya kining gipat-dan gilayon sa tulo ka hugna––11 a.m., 4 p.m. ug 9 p.m. draws.

Pagka-ugma grabe ang bagolbol ni Misis ilawon sa dakong punoan sa Balete kay napusoy man siya ma-ong mga numero.

Apan wala ka-agwanta ang Enkangto sa Belete busa mitubag kini ug nag-kanayon: “Amo na gani kanang gilabay nga papel Manang kay usa ka bu-lan na namo kanang gi-maintain apan wala gyud migawas.”

THINK a minute… Of all the jobs in news and journalism, being a war correspondent is the most dangerous. Some reporters are captured as prisoners, some escape, and some die. Young 25-year-old Leonard Spencer was a reporter for the London Morning Post. His assign-ment was the Boer War in South Africa. Leonard was riding a train to the front-lines of battle when sud-denly there was a violent crash. The Boer army had ambushed and attacked this British train. During the shooting, Leonard jumped out into all the bullets and exploding shells to help clear the train tracks. In fact, after the train pulled out of this trap, with many British soldiers saved, the

Do the right thingone man who was left be-hind to face the enemy alone was this young news-paper reporter. He was captured and put into the Pretoria prison, which was world famous for its high security and few escapes. Amazingly, young Leonard escaped this famous prison. Yet he still had 300 miles of enemy territory to survive and find his way through to freedom. He walked alone for many days and nights, continually dodging enemy soldiers. Tired, hun-gry and thirsty, he finally reached a mining town and knocked on the door of the only British person living there. Leonard was then smuggled onto a train to the British consul and safety. You know what’s really

amazing? Leonard Spencer is not remembered for his bravery in the South Afri-can Boer War. You see, this young journalist who saved a train of British soldiers and escaped the enemy against nearly impossible odds, continued to do the impossible the rest of his

life. We know him as Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, England’s brave leader and Prime Minister who helped save Europe and the world from Adolf Hitler’s evil rule. You see, our life and character starts right now. If we don’t choose to do the right thing now, we definitely won’t choose to do it later when there’s more risk. And Jesus is the one who can give you the willpower you need to start changing now. Then you’ll start doing the right thing, no matter what it costs you. So won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for not always choosing to live His right way? Then ask Him to take charge of your character everyday, for the rest of your life? Just Think a Minute...

By Apipa P. Bagumbaran

The project is intended to provide the said farmers with more sustainable livelihood and to boost the re-gion’s seaweed production, said BFAR-ARMM Director Janice Musali.

Beneficiary-farmers will also receive farm inputs for some 120 hectares of seaweed farm. Another 50 hectares is expected to open up soon, according to Director Musali.

ARMM ranks first in the country, in terms of seaweed production with bulk coming from the region’s island provinces, especially Tawi-Tawi.

BFAR officials estimate that the region still has around 20, 017 hectares of potential seaweed farm area.

BFAR-ARMM signed a contract with the Kilusang Magkaibigan Multi-Purpose Cooperative (KMMPC) for the procurement, supply, and delivery of seaweed input materials after a bidding process.

Director Musali said it was the first time for their of-fice to fully observe government procurement procedure based on Republic Act 9184 otherwise known as “An Act Providing for the Modernization, Standardization and Regulation of the Procurement Activities of the Government and for Other Purposes.”

Lawyer Mimbalawag Mangutara, finance director of ARMM governor’s office, commended BFAR-ARMM for conforming to the standing policy of the present ARMM reform government of transparency and accountability. (ARMMCommGroup/APB-PIA10/asf)

BUTUAN City - The City Civ-il Registrar’s Office (CCRO), in partnership with Pag-IBIG Fund-Caraga Region, is gearing for the Mass Civil Wedding come Valentine’s Day at the newly-renovated Guingona Park.

City Civil Registrar Judith Alvizo-Calo said, participat-ing couples will be exempted from charges, including the issuance of the Affidavit of Cohabitation.

She Calo added, this year’s mass civil wedding is extra special because Pag-IBIG Fund Caraga Region, aside from providing free wed-ding rings, will also raffle off a brand new house for one

lucky couple. The city civil registrar,

however, explained that the program will only cater to 100. Thus, she is urging interested couples to visit the CCRO for the necessary requirements.

The mass civil wedding has been a yearly event for the local government of Butuan City, which aims to legally-bind unwed couples, especially those who have already been living together for years.

The CCRO is located at the ground floor of the City Hall Building and opens from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays with landline numbers 342-5487. (CMO-PIO/PIA-Caraga/asf)

To raise funds, the congress was also high-lighted with a Search for Miss Kalusugan Pang-kalahatan (KP) – BHW, a money contest with representatives from the different municipalities of the province and Cabad-baran City. In an interview with Nor m a A l b i v a , B H W Federation president of Agusan del Norte, she said the province has around 1,080 BHWs. She added, they regu-larly update themselves on latest health developments

during quarterly meetings where they a lso make resolutions on income-generating projects, like micro-lending and others. In Cabadbaran City, they started their micro-lending project in 1995, with a capital of P9,000 and she is proud to say that the amount has grown up to almost P1 million at present. Laurencia C. Montaus, a BHW in Poblacion 1 of the municipality of Tubay claimed, “Bisan tuod og honorarium ra ang akong nadawat, pero nalipay gihapon ko sa akong pagserbisyo kay nakatabang man ko sa health needs sa akong mga kabarangay, sama sa pag-conduct og mother’s class aron tudloan sila kung unsa ang insaktong pag-areglar sa ilang mga anak, family planning, ‘operation t imbang’ sa mga bata ug uban pa.” The event was a lso graced by Vice Governor Enrico R. Corvera, Board Members Rey Jamboy, Lo-rito Maragañas, Fortunato Rosales , Dr. El izabeth Campado, Dr. Pio Baga-luyos, BHW Coordina-tor Jacquiline Galan, and barangay officials of the province.

ThE Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) posted strong business volume and revenue growth in 2012 as the Philippines likewise grew at a faster pace compared to other Asean economies. BPI’s unaudited net income for full year 2012 reached P16.3 billion, a 27% increase over the P12.8 billion posted in 2011. This translated to a Return on Equity of 17.5% and a Return on Assets of 1.9%. Total resources reached P985 billion or 17% higher than the previous year as the Bank’s core businesses remained solid. Deposits expanded by a healthy 18% to P802 billion while assets under management was P743 billion or 11% higher, bringing total intermediated funds to P1.5 trillion. The net loan portfolio increased by 16% to P527 billion as all markets sustained double digit growths: 17% for both the consumer segment and the middle market/SMEs, and 12% for the top tier corporates. Asset quality continued to improve with its 30-day NPL ratio down to 1.46% from last year’s 1.87%. Net interest income rose by 6% as the average asset base went up by P64 billion. Net interest margin had a slight 10 bps contraction as spreads were challenged following the 100 bps cut in policy rates last year as well as the non remuneration of banks’ reserve requirement deposits with the BSP. Non-interest income was 25% better mainly due to higher trading gain on se-curities sold, other operating income, and fees & commissions. Operating expense growth was man-aged at 6% coming from technology and occupancy related expenses and regulatory costs. Impairment losses were at P2.9 bil-lion due to additional provisions for non credit related items and foreclosed assets. BPI’s market capitalization was at P338 billion as of end 2012. The Bank remains adequately capitalized with a Basel II Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of 14.2% and Tier 1 CAR of 12.8%. BPI President and CEO Aurelio R. Mon-tinola III commented, “2012 was a banner year for BPI, as we generated record profits and exceeded our return on equity goal of 16%. We will aim for 12 to 15% loan growth in 2013. However, given significant securities trading gains last year and an even lower interest rate regime this year, our challenge for 2013 will be to deliver a meaningful earnings growth after a record 2012 performance.”
