BACKGROUND / HISTORY OF MACAPARI

NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOLBy: WILFREDO I. BALAGAS

OIC-Macapari National High SchoolMacapari, Damulog, Bukidnon

The plan to put-up a high school at Barangay Macapari had been espoused by the Barangay and Municipal of-ficials during the late’ 90s.However, it did not materi-alized. The plan was revived by the incumbent Barangay Chairman Ho. Pepito H. Diez first assumed to the office in the year 2002. He made the series of public consultations, personal talk to the LGU of-ficials, Provincial Governor and to the representative of the 3rd district, Congressman Juan Miguel F. Zubiri. It was that he got the verbal approval and was tasked to find a lot to be purchased for such purpose.Punong Barangay Diez was able to negotiate the land owner Mr. Mariano Causin to sell his seven (7) hectares with the condition that it is intended for school site or any government projects Priced at P 50,000.00 per hectare, the land was acquired by the barangay government through the congressional assistance from the Congressman Juan Miguel F. Zubiri amounting to P350,000.00. Upon the acquisition of the site, Barangay officials of Macapari made their next move requesting the govern-ment for the establishment of a National High School. After complying the requirements ,congress enacted Republic Act No.9933 on July 27 2009, an act establishing a Nation-al High School in Barangay Macapari,Municipality of Damulog,Province of Bukid-non to be known as Macapari National High School and appropriating funds therefore. Records showed that such re-public Act was finally passed by the House of Representative and Senate on September 2, 2008 and October 13 ,2009 respectively; and was finally signed by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on January 07,2010.Prior to the approval of R.A.9933, the plan was post-poned due to insufficiency of local funds for its counterpart to sustain the operation while national appropriation was still on the process thinking that such dchool shall be ran as an extension of the existing institution, the Old Damulog National High School and will temporarily accupy the two classsrooms of the elemen-tary school. With such idea, the Department of Educa-tion did not allow to start classes because at that time the signing of Memorandum of Agreement, there was no yet appropriation embodied

in the General Appropriation Act for such expenses. In the succeeding year, a memorandum of agreement was reenacted and the Chief Executive signed with the heartfelt approval when the Department of Education through its Division Office announced that appropriation for the salary of teachers and its operational expenditures for Macapari High School are already embodied in the Gen-eral Appropriation Act of 2011. Under the signed agreement, The Local Government Unit shall temporarily shoulder the salary of the teachers pending the release of funds from the Department of Education.The amazing grace came when the Joint Together Society (JTS) a non- government organization based in Korea, announced that they were able to tap the Korean International Coopera-tive Agency (KOICA) to take partner with them in providing school buildings for Macapari National High School.In one of the meetings of the JTS officials, the founder had an-nounced and proclaimed top provide the funding of a five year school project for Maca-pari National High School as a token of their gratitude and as a reward to Mayor Romeo P. Tiongco for being good and down-to-earth supportive for the cause of educating children in the hinterland. From an aborted negotia-tion, the school site was finally owned by the Barangay Gov-ernment because of the revived interest causing the schedule of the groundbreaking ceremony for the first building on the 2nd day of April ,two thousand twelve at Macapari Damulog, Bukidnon,Philippines.Maca-pari National High School has started its first year of opera-tion in the Scholl year 2011-2012 with one section w2hich was manned by two teachers utilizing the classrooms from the elementary school.It is now in its 2nd year of operation which temporarily occupied the same classrooms but was finally transferred to the new classrooms in the new school site immediately after the for-mal turn-over on November 06,2012. At present, there are five functional classrooms available, while the other five and administration building are still in its construction process. At last the students are now enjoying the convenience of studying in a public school nearby with a modern and spacious building conducive to learning.

THE regional office of the De-partment of Social Welfare and Development is gearing up for the upcoming expansion of the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KA-LAHI-CIDSS) Project this year. “Lumalaki ang responsibili-dad natin na palawakin din ang kakayahan ng mamamayan na tugunan ang pangangailangan ng kanilang kapwa at kanilang magamit ang pera sa maayos at matapat na paraan (We now have a bigger responsibility to enrich the capabilities of the people for them to address their needs, and for them to spend their money wisely),” said Social Welfare and Development Secretary Corazon Juliano-Soliman during the Ka-lahi-CIDSS and BuB (Bottom-up Budgeting)Planning Workshop held in Tagaytay last January. “One of the ironies of being in the government is that when you do good work and you deliver well, the reward is more work,” she added. KALAHI-CIDSS is a commu-nity-driven development (CDD) project of the Philippine Gov-ernment that is driven by the commitment to empower people to improve the quality of their lives, by themselves, through their power.The NCDDP The NCDDP, or the National Community-Driven Development Program, is the scaling up of the community driven development (CDD), a strategy that has been tried and proven effective in KALAHI-CIDSS. The CDD gives citizens control over decisions and resources so they can undertake localized solutions to identified community problems. It aims to provide poor communities access to services and increase their participation in more inclusive local planning, budgeting and implementation. NCDDP will benefit five million households, 851 municipalities with high poverty incidence, located in 68 provinces of 15 regions. While it is the lead imple-menting agency of NCDDP, the Department of Social Welfare and Development will work with the other agencies that are part of the National Inter-Agency Prepara-tion and Implementation Team (NIAPT). These are the DILG, DAR, DENR, DepEd, DA, DOLE, DOH, DoE, PCUP, Department of Finance (DoF), National Eco-nomic and Development Authority (NEDA), Department of Budget and Management (DBM), and NAPC. “NCDDP is really a recognition because we are now using the CDD approach as a national strategy involving other national govern-ment agencies. NCDDP would mean P81B over six years, more or less. And DSWD’s portion is close to P31B over six years. Binabago natin [ang programa] para sa mas epektibong paglilingkod (We are modifying the program for a more effective public service),”

Peer tutoring are people from similar groupings who are not professional teachers helping each other to learn and learning by themselves by teach-ing.( Keith Topping & Shirley Hill) It offers one on one assistance for students having difficulty in reading. Pupils will have the chance to learn in a more intimate environment which allows them to take more initiative. This will increase the tu-tor’s boost his confidence and carry

over to their desire to read other readings, practice communication skill and develop their own leader-ship skills. For the tutees, they will receive individualized instruction and may respond to their peers than to their teacher and can obtain companionship(Guold and Hirst) This will not only develop or give intervention in reading but this will also develop interrelationship among pupils.

Early progress in reading depends on oral language de-velopment. Normally develop-ing children raised by caring adults develop speech and language abilities naturally and without effort. Learning to read is a different process because it involves learning about a symbolic system (writ-ing) used to represent speech. Before children begin to learn to associate the written form with speech, they need to learn the vocabulary, grammar and sound system of the oral language. Research has shown that there is a close connec-tion between oral vocabulary and early reading ability. The ability to attend to the indi-vidual sounds within words (phonological and phonemic awareness) is also an oral skill that is closely associated with reading ability.Practical classroom applica-

tions •Thehomeistheidealplacewhere young children develop language skills in their inter-actions with adults and other children •Teacherscanprovideop-portunities for children to develop their oral language

through story-telling and show-and-tell activities. •Youngchildrenshouldbeencouraged to use oral lan-guage to express themselves while learning about print and books both at home and in school. • Shared book reading togroups of students using Big Books is an effective instruc-tional strategy that introduces books and reading to children, while encouraging them to talk about what is being read. •Classdictatedstoriesmakeuse of children’s oral language in structured reading and writ-ing activities with the help of the teacher. First, the children tell a story in their own words. The teachers write this down on the blackboard for the children, and then read their story back to them. Students take turns practicing reading the story as well. • For older students andadults learning to read in a sec-ond or foreign language, devel-oping proficiency in the target language is very important. This means having opportunities to speak and use the language extensively. (Snows, Burns, & Griffin,1998;Bernhardt, 2000)

He said tax seminars and info drives via radio, television and print media will be conducted to edu-cate taxpayers on the new BIR issuances as well as to remind them of their tax obligation.

We will tap the assis-tance of the 103rd Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army to ensure the peace-ful conduct of tax mapping operations on business es-tablishments, hospitals and clinics, and private educa-tion institutions within the jurisdiction of the Revenue District Office, he added.

THE country is growing. It is true but it is not growing because of better leadership or whatever by the present administration but growing fast because of the number of new Filipinos. Birth con-trol seems to have failed in its endeavor and needless to say, the number of people added to our population keeps on rising. It is beyond control although some ef-fects may have taken place in the past years. Anywhere you go in the country are more people going around a majority of them have no jobs. As a result, there is extreme hunger in many homes especially in the countryside.

The government is busy with other matters like es-tablishing new projects to improve the lifestyle of

Hisgut-Hisgutlang

BEN EMATA JR.

The problem of unemploymentthe people, constructions of roads and bridges and many more but it never had embarked on new ideas to create jobs for people. This scenario existed many years ago and remained a problem until now. Some of us are lucky to go to foreign lands where we find comfort and income but this represents the few while majority of us back home continue to suffer in existence without income. Leaders come and go, debating, talking, fighting, vacationing and many things that have no relations with hardships.

The Philippines is not like other countries in the world where unemployed citizens get some kind of help from their govern-ments. They are accorded with free medical, dental,

hospitalization, food and even shelter. When one is jobless for some reasons and he reaches the age of 65, there is a welfare program of the government that allows them a monthly pension enough to sustain them of their daily needs. These things are strange in the Philippines. When one is poor, he has to provide

himself with food, shelter and medicines until the day he dies.

Population in the coun-try continues to skyrocket and will go on forever. And without employment, pov-erty will certainly rule in the lives of people. There is no more land for them to cultivate and competi-tion in everything makes it even harder. Judging at our situation, it is easy to predict that in the coming years, there will surely be people dying in the streets of hunger. No food to eat. No medicine and doctor to run to. Just nothing but death. This is just horrible. And it seems the government is not prepared to meet this difficulty in life. Right now everything looks normal.

‘Sabta na lang aron madali’

Awdiay!

Ruel V. Pelone

ANIAY akong nadawat gi-kan sa electronic mail kon e-mail nga tipik sa sinu-lat ni Dr. Eddie R. Babor, LL.B., nga gititulohan og “The status of Cebuano as a language in the ambience of philosophy.”

Nakita ko nga maayo kini nga atong salo-salohan yawat na lang nga makakat-on kita pagsulat sa bini-saya nga adunay grammar (batadila).

Ako karon pa lang nag-toon kon unsaon pagsulat-binisaya.

Ania ang tipik sa maong sinulat ni Dr. Babor:

(1) “Humot lagi ning imong perfume.” (Naa ba diay perfume nga baho?);

(2) “Mainom ning imong tubig?” (Naa ba diay tubig nga ma-ub-ub);

(3) “Mamaak ning imong iro?” (Naa ba diay iro nga manggitik?);

(4) “Manungag ning imong kabaw?” (Ang mga

kabaw ba manilap o ma-matid?);

(5) “Mamatid ning imong kabayo?” (Dili manghapu-hap ra.);

(6) Inside Public Utility Vehicles when a passen-ger pays the fare and gives twenty pesos. All drivers use to ask: “Pila ning baynte”? (So, pila man diay ang by-ante? But the driver means pilay makuha sa byante. So, instead of saying this drivers prefer to exclaim a damn question: “Pila ning byante?”);

(7) In many instanc-es when I travel to Cebu through a fast craft, I always

hear a person seated next to me ask when the boat is already in midsea: “Bay, Cebu pod ka?” (Asa man diay ta ani padong?);

(8) After one has tak-en an exam and asked by friends: “Unya pasar kaha ka adto bay?” The answer is: “Ay, sus, God knows ray nahibawo adto”;

(9) This is common in the school campus when a student wants something to be photocopied and ap-proaches the person op-erating the photocopying machine and make a polite request: “Pazerox ko.” (What if the operator will liter-

ally have the student’s face photocopied – for let’s say 50 copies?);

(10) At home when grandma does not like the piece played in an FM sta-tion, she would shout “Patya nang radyo, dong” (Pwede diay patyon ang radyo? Uroy ug bunalan ug maso sa gisugo);

(11) After an annoy-ing brown out is gone, we commonly ask: “Ni-agas na ang gripo?” (Gripo ba ang moagas o tubig?);

(12) In all sari-sari stores throughout the Philippines--not only in Visayan areas--a highly erratic advertisement is conspicuously displayed: “Ice Water for Sale.” (Is there really ice water? It could be acceptable if it is written this way: “Iced water for Sale,” or “Watered Ice for Sale.” But of course we are aware that this is not the case in the Philippines; it should be

THINK a minute… My younger son has always had a terrible fear of fast roller coasters. Those rides at amusement parks and fairs that zip around so fast that the people riding them scream the whole way. But recently, my son decided he was going to ride one no matter how afraid he was. He forced himself to sit next to me on the roller coaster, and I could almost hear his heart beating and racing he was so scared. To tell you the truth, that roller coaster was almost too fast for me! When the ride was finally over and we were leaving, my son was so happy and proud of himself. He kept saying again and again: “Dad, I conquered my fear!”

One of the important

Run to your fearsecrets to success and hap-piness, which many people don’t know, is that on the other side of our fear is a much better life for us. It’s only when we face and conquer our fears that we get past them and are free to reach our potential. The great army general, George Patton, said: “Fear kills more people than death.” You see, death kills us only once, but fear kills us over and over again. “It’s better to face danger one time than to live in fear your whole life.” Our fears will just keep chasing us as long as we keep running from them.

A wise man says: “Fear is a warning signal, not for us to close our eyes, but for us to open them wider, so we can face our fear head on to conquer and defeat it.” But

if we keep closing our eyes to our fear so we can just stay in our comfort zone, then we’ll end up “buried alive in our comfort zone,” and never really live life to the fullest.

Someone said: “The biggest part of courage is

having done it before.” Re-member, there’s a first time for everything—whether it’s riding a bike, starting your own business, or public speaking. There’s no greater feeling of accomplishment and success than running right at your fear and com-ing out on the other side of it, knowing you beat it. So for your own success and happiness, you can ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and take control of your life. Then, when you know that God Himself is on your side, there’s absolutely no one or nothing to be afraid of. With His love and power inside, you can run right through your fears to the great life He has ready and waiting for you. Just Think a Minute…

A hip, classy and trendy way of doing business will surely appeal to the younger generation as LifeSTYLE by M&Co enters the Cagayan de Oro

market scene, paving way to give Kagay-anons a better way of life.

The company is rooted on a mission to give its members a better life through product selling and multi-level networking.

Originally created by the owners to give their employees an alternative source of income, LifeSTYLE by M&Co. is now a brand that continues to grow and is the fastest growing direct selling company today.

LifeSTYLE by M&Co is owned by Mr. Gunn Roque III, who also owns the internationally known brand KAMISETA.

Setting up the multi-level networking and direct selling approach is brought about by Gunn’s vision of sharing to his employees and giving them extra income.

In an interview Gunn reveals that “First yung Kamiseta, nung na-create ko yung Kamiseta, I wanted to give my employees extra income, so tinayo ko yung M&Co. yung M&Co. na iyon was only meant to be for our employees, kaso nung nag-open ang store, sobrang dami nang naging members. Now we have 600 thousand members, so one time sa M&Co, nandoon ako, yung mga nagrerecruit – nagsusponsor sabi sa akin ‘sir bigyan niyo naman ako nang extra income’ sabi ko, why not yung M&Co., sabi nila ‘sir wala akong puhunan but I can invite people’, so doon ko naisip yung proper networking, multi-level talaga. Smaller ang puhunan – extra income. Doon na nagsimula itong Lifestyle, nagstart nung February (2012).”

When one browses through the catalogue, LifeSTYLE by M&Co. products show a dash of elegance, a brew of style and comfort, and an aroma of class all on its own, comparable of that to the Kamiseta line.

Gunn enthused “it is actually the same quality, of course some of the accessories yung exclusive sa Kamiseta, hindi namin ginagamit for M&Co. may sarili

sya. Our products are for both men and women consumers.”

LifeSTYLE by M&Co. can help people make a better living and generate income, Gunn says “para sa akin important yung product, the word of mouth is so important for me – so first we give you good quality products, we’re now all over the Philippines because of these products, but now we really encourage people

to get into business. Ito lang naman talaga ang gusto ko, my idea is yung middle class natin na walang trabaho can help in the economy. Population is not a problem, if they have jobs or income they can live happier. Ako as an entrepreneur, I feel this is my only way to share to the people and the quality of the product should be able to market itself”.

Gunn continues by assuring the quality of the products of LifeSTYLE by M&Co. and why it is on a class of its own, “we are the best, and that is for sure… like in Kamiseta, we are the best local brand in terms of quality. I have to wear it, like yung sa men’s wear, each and every product must pass through me, so kung hindi siya papasa sa akin, it won’t be out in the market, I am also confident that for our ladies wear, that with our quality – you can’t get this product for this price only anywhere in the country, alam ko iyon, kasi yung pricing ko talagang eksakto lang iyan… I also personally work with our great

designers”Gunn enthused, “im very confident na if they sell the

products, matutuwa talaga ang customers nila”. LifeSTYLE by M&Co. switches back to a more

direct and personalized setup in contrast to the heavy marketing and promotions of the sister brand Kamiseta, envisioning a better life for the middle-class Filipino and those who want to have extra income.

“business for a better life, honestly noong una, as an entrepreneur – it was never really a policy to share, when I got into business it was really more of ‘to acquire’… but as you get a little bit older, sa dami na nang taong nakakausap ko, at nagrerely sa akin, sabi ko sayang eh, Filipinos are really hardworking – they just lack the opportunity. I really think if masipag ka, coupled with a good product line – you will be successful. So to those who are interested to get into business, pero hindi nila alam paano – come in, look at it, we will teach you how. Basta masipag ka, and you want a chance, pwede, just come in to Lifestyle by M&Co.” Gunn states in parting.

LifeSTYLE by M&Co. believes in hardwork and perseverance and that it will help people propel into reaching their dreams and aspirations by providing a profitable business venture that brings financial freedom to their members through their premium quality products.

A personal appeal will also be made to the ARMM regional accountants, departments and agencies devolved to the ARMM, the Mindanao State University (MSU) main campus, and local government units (LGUs) for the proper withholding tax compli-ance, he added.

In addition, coordination with the local counterparts of the Land Bank of the Philippines and the Development Bank of the Philippines will be continued with respect to the compliance of LGUs.

A close monitoring of with-holding tax remittances on infra-structure projects undertaken by the Department of Public Works and Highways, National Irriga-tion Authority, LGUs, and all implementing line agencies under the umbrella of the ARMM will likewise be carried-out by the BIR.

For January alone, BIR Marawi collected P50,906,108.18, up by P1,804,108.18 or 3.67 percent from the P49,102,000 goal for the month.

I wish our leaders think of the future of our country. They should study new things that sustain life say ten to twenty years from now. We need industrializations of foreign investors and introductions of new system to increase production in factories or yields in agricultural ventures. Leaders should refrain from engaging in too much bicker-ing and laziness. Now is the best time to study the situation of our future, it should be now not tomor-row. We should learn the system of foreign governments that made them progressive and successful.

We must invite investors from Europe, from America, the Middle East and from Asian countries. We must learn their style of existing. We must teach our youngsters the things to improve people, the need to improve all sources of income. We can improve our method of fishing for us to export the product of the high seas. Improve our agriculture, lumber, factories and everything. Right now we have people who are good in making guns but we send them to jail. Why not develop them into a giant gun manufacturing firm and export guns to other countries? (Ben-emata.com)

Teachers are indeed the most valuable assets in our society and the key player in nation-building, particularly the human resource which is the greatest factor in boosting our economy. Moreover, this is the most in-dispensable contributions that educators have shared to our nation. Furthermore, works of the teachers are beyond what is prescribed by law because of the extra-curricular and civic activities which contributed to the welfare of the community and the country, most notable of which is when teachers guard the precincts and count the

votes during election. Hence, it is regarded as the highly reliable and dedicated public servants. In this light, the world salutes to the unsung heroes for their great achievements and con-tributions in molding the world from September 5 to October 5, 2012 with the theme: “My Teacher; My Hero”. Coherently, public schools celebrate school-based World Teacher’s Day on October 5, 2012 to culminate the celebration. It is one day synchronize activity in the entire bureaucracy that encourages stakeholder’s participation and

take the lead in giving tribute and salutation to the unsung heroes of their own community. Teachers therefore, deserved to have this celebration and recognition for the enormous contributions to the community where they served and to the nation as well. The vacuum that educators felt was filled with joys and happiness that indeed mentors are not ne-glected but given due recogni-tion and importance as one of the most valuable resources in the country.

(DTI), commonly known as the Air Passenger Bill of Rights, states that air passengers must know their rights including the right to information before purchase, right to receive the full value of the service purchased and the right to compensation. Every passenger should be given time to check in, according to the bill. The same order states that a passenger must not be consid-ered late or no-show and should not be denied to check-in, if he or she is within the air carrier’s cordoned or other designated check-in area at least one hour before the published Estimated Time of Departure (ETD), or within the prescribed time set by the carrier. Further, a passenger cannot be denied the right to board the aircraft without his consent. But in case of cancellation from the air carrier at least 24 hours be-fore ETD, passengers should be notified beforehand and should rebook or reimburse passenger at the option of the latter. Air carriers cancelling flights less than 24 hours before ETD, passengers must be notified be-forehand, given amenities (food, drinks, hotel amenities), reim-bursed of the value of the fare, taxes and surcharges, and other optional fees, to be endorsed to another air carrier without paying

Statements like these are normally echoed: “Papalita kog Colgate nga Close Up Nang,” or “Nang papalita kog Gillete nga Rubie,” (The variance of these items are so obvious);

(18) Another funny plea in the local stores: “Ayo, palita ko.” Then the storekeeper would say “Pila man ka?” (The buyer should have said “papalita ko,” but because the words are “palita ko” that is why the vendor would inquire about the price of the buyer.

Education is amongst the top priorities of the recent President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III as embedded in Article XIV, section 5, Paragraph 6 of the Phil-ippines states that “The State shall assign the high-est budgetary priority to education,” to compensate the needs of every learning institutions despite of the meager resources of the country. Unfortunately, the fact remains that the budget intended would not cater all the needs of every school especially those schools situated in remote and fur flung provinces. Umagling Elementary School (UES), located in the heart of Malitbog,

Bukidnon is not exempted for the fact that these insti-tutions don’t have yet the facilities to use in school programs and some related activities. But our quest for quality education is always flaming amidst of economic crisis. We firmly believe that quality education is not only visible on top of the roof or within the four corners of the classroom; instead a kind of educa-tional institution that can really provide facilities that can be utilized to the needs of all children especially during school activities and programs.

force majeure, safety and/or se-curity reasons, passengers should be reimbursed of the full value of the fare, the bill emphasized. In case terminal delays for three hours after ETD on the other hand whether or not attributed

to the carrier, passengers must be provided free phone calls, text or e-mails, and first aid, if necessary including refreshment or meals, rebook or refund or endorsement to another carrier. If it is six hours delayed after

ETD and causes are attributed to the air carrier, air company must consider the flight cancelled for the purpose of availing the rights and amenities provided for in case of actual cancellation. (JMOR-PIA10/jdelpf)

MARINA-10 launches new Seafarers ID

THE Maritime Industry Author-ity (MARINA-10) has launched the Seafarers Identification and Record Book (SIRB), Sat-urday, at the Capitol University in Cagayan de Oro City. SIRB was previously called Seaman’s Book, according to the Engr. Emmanuel B. Carpio, MARINA-10 regional director, who disclosed that along this particular undertak-ing, the agency is availing the services of the National Printing Office (NPO), East-land Printink, Document Se-curity Asia and Prooftaf, the company that produces the Bubble Tar. Director Carpio explained, a Bubble Tar, which is being added and sealed in the SIRB booklet, is a core technology behind the Bubble Seal. It is a 3-D identity token

used to authenticate official documents, like the SIRB booklet and compsed of small three dimensional bubbles in a random pattern that have a very unique physical cha-rateristics, such as the size, shape, thickness, position). With such elements, it provides a very strong one-of-a-kind signature, much like the signature from a human fingerprint, but far more unique. Aside from Director Carpio, the launching ceremony was also graced by Supervising

Maritime Development Spe-cialist Annabel P. Lagas; Direcror Anthony Belasco of Document Security Asia; MARINA-10 Regional Director Emmanuel B. Carpio; Capt. Emiliano E. Duran, MBM, superintendent of the Col-lege of Maritime Education, Capitol University; Dr. Romeo B. Miñoza Jr., administrative assistant to the superinten-dent, CU College of Maritime Education; and Engr. Roel C. Hubayan, OIC, Marine Enginering Department, CU.

vided with facilities that will protect them from the heat of the sun and rain during school programs and outside classroom ac-tivities; through this the teachers together with the Parent Teachers Associa-tion initiated a SCHOOL COVERED COURT with-out major source of fund. The ongoing construction of this project is the fruit of the joint of the effort of the teachers, parents, barangay officials, local government officials and strong partnership of our stakeholders. We always believe that no task is daunting with the euphoric support of our stakeholders.

ILIGAN City - The Social Security System (SSS) has renewed partnership with the Department of the Inte-rior and Local Government (DILG) to strengthen the monitoring of businesses’ SSS compliance, as part of the pension fund’s campaign to protect its members from erring employers. The new agreement serves as basis in the issu-ance of business permits or licenses needed by employ-ers to continue operating every year, explained SSS Branch Manager Cheryl Jariol. In an earlier arrangement between SSS and DILG dat-ing back to 2001, employ-ers and business operators were required to submit a Certificate of SSS Coverage and Compliance before they could secure a business per-mit or license, or “Mayor’s

Permit,” from their LGU during the business renewal period at the start of every year. Under the new agree-ment, SSS branches will provide their covered LGUs on the last business day of every year a list of regis-tered employers, business owners or operators with SSS delinquencies. Employers with overdue SSS obligations will not be issued a Mayor’s Permit, although LGUs have the option to issue three-month temporary permits to give these businesses time to settle their delinquent SSS accounts. If the validity of the temporary permit has lapsed after three months and the employer is still non-compli-ant, no regular permits will be issued to the employer until the SSS delinquency

has been settled. Jariol added, this SSS-DILG agreement reflects the government’s aim to ensure that employers up-hold their obligations to workers. Employers also stand to benefit because this simplifies the process of renewing their permits, and ultimately promote a more business-friendly environment. Since SSS account officers conduct ocular inspection of employers in their as-signed areas, we will also update LGUs of businesses discovered to be operating without SSS registration. This helps the concerned LGU to verify if they also lack business permits, said Jariol. LGUs, on the other hand, will give SSS branches a list of establishments with new or renewed business

permits, and another list of businesses granted tempo-rary permits, not later than the end of February every year. The agreement, which took effect after it was signed last December 26, 2012, also provides for SSS participa-tion in Business One-Stop Shops (BOSS) that LGUs set up during the business renewal period every Janu-ary to help employers settle their SSS delinquencies. The state-run SSS cur-rently has over 600,000 registered businesses. The Social Security law requires employers to report new-ly-hired workers for SSS coverage within 30 days, deduct contributions from employees’ salaries, and remit workers’ monthly premiums to SSS on time.

P4.6 M worth Liquid Quick Freezer turned over to TANBOFISA

THE Department of Agriculture in coor-dination with the National Agri-Business Corporation (NABCOR) turned-over a Liquid Quick Freeze Machine worth P4.6 million to the Tandag Boholano Fishermen’s Association (TANBOFISA) last February 5 at the TANBOFISA Ice Plant. The Liquid Quick Freezer is a com-mitment of DA Secretary Proceso Alcala to the TANBOFISA when he visited the Province of Surigao del Sur on June 2011. The machine has a capacity to produce three tons of ice per day. The making of ice takes two hours and is done by batches with 16 blocks of ice weighing 8 kilos each produced per batch. The machine can also be used to freeze

agricultural products like fish, poultry and vegetables to preserve its shelf life. TANBOFISA operates a Barangay Food Terminal as well as an ice plant at the public market. According to Wilma Evangelio, TANBOFISA’s Business Manager, with their old ice making machine, they only get to produce 72 ice blocks weighing 25 kilos each per day which is not even sufficient for the needs of the market vendors in the market. She added that now that they have the Liquid Quick Freezer Machine, they hope that they will be able to meet the demand not just in the public market but also the entire city and also increase the income of the BFT.
