Surigaonons to join Clean-up Drive to fight Climate Change
.
SURIGAO DEL NORTE (September 17) - Surigaonons throughout the province will again join the world’s most successful community-led global environment campaigns, the “Clean Up the World” drive to address the effect on climate change on Friday Sep. 18, 2009.
Now in its 3rd year of implementation in the province, the provincial government will again tap the different sectors in the community such as the academe, business, and religious sectors including Non-Government Organizations (NGO’s) to get involved in the conduct of a 1-day clean-up drive on sea beaches, rivers, canals, drainage systems, and other public areas that would minimize the litter problem, improve the quality of waters, prevent the spread of diseases and consequently contribute towards a cleaner and healthier province.
Prov’l Administrator Adolfo Pantilo proudly disclosed the membership of the province to the Clean Up the World, an international environmental organization based in Australia mobilizing an estimated 35 million volunteers from more than 100 countries. Being a member, Pantilo emphasized the need for the Surigaonons to accept the challenge in protecting our environment.
Meanwhile, DILG Prov’l Director Rodulfo Nasi assured the provincial government the full support of his office to the activity. “Our office is solidly behind this effort of the prov’l government.”
“We believe that environment is a special concern of the province and not only of the province but the country as well. We know the problems besetting the country and the world especially with the present problem on climate change. I think these efforts will be part of the directions of the province and having this program be implemented at the barangay level,” he added.
Nasi also believed that with everybody joining in and contributing to this effort, Surigaonons can do something for the province and for the world.
This year's theme "Communities Uniting to Combat Climate Change" encourages the participants in the Clean Up the World Weekend, which will start on Sep. 18 to 20, to take action at a local level to address the very global issue of climate change. (Fryan E. Abkilan, PIA-Surigao del Norte)

FITS Center launched in San Agustin, Surigao Del Sur
Every August 25 and 26, the Municipality of San Agustin in Surigao del Sur celebrates the annual Farmers and Fisherfolks’ Day. This year, the celebration was made even more special with the simultaneous launch of the San Agustin Farmer's Information and Technology Services (FITS) Center and MOA signing ceremony.
The launch provided an opportunity for more than 100 farmers, 50 fisherfolks and 100 visitors to witness and acquaint themselves with the services and benefits of having their own FITS center.
The center was conceived from Municipal Mayor Manuel Alameda’s desire to establish a center where farmers could access new technology and information about farming, particularly the Natural Farming Technology System. Through local efforts and participation, an orientation for the Farmer’s Information and Technology Services (FITS) was held last November 13, 2008 at the Surigao del Sur Polytechnic College (Main Campus). This paved the way for San Agustin's bid to have its very own FITS Center.
The proposed site of the FITS center was evaluated on April 23, 2009. At the same time, an assessment was conducted of the proposed Magsasakang Siyentista, as their partner in the promotion of the banner commodity of their municipality. On June 16, 2009, the San Agustin application was formally approved by CCARRD during the joint RRDCC and RTWG Meeting.
The FITS Information System is the first concrete step in utilizing ICT to achieve the FITS/Techno Pinoy Program’s service-oriented goals.Generally, it aims to serve as a viable tool to facilitate faster access to information to fast track the delivery of services to clients in agriculture, forestry and natural resources.
The FITS Information System was developed as a web-based system and is composed of six major databases namely: technology, experts’ profile, farmers’ profile, contact firms, publication, and technology video materials.

Feature: The Bridge: Aftermath of the Tulay Training
Tulay is a Tagalog term for “bridge”. Bridge is defined as something that connects two points for people to pass through. This same analogy is practiced by Ms. Lynette Ysalina, a trainer at the OWWA Tulay Caraga Community Technology Learning Center (CTLC), who created the blog “The Bridge”, designed to be an instructional and communication tool for her trainees.
This blog brings CTLC trainees together by providing an avenue where they can practice the skills they have acquired from their training, receive updates on new learning skills and activities from the OWWA Tulay Center, share photos and documentation, and share stories of hardwork, successes and best practices. By blogging, the trainees are provided their own links, facilitating online bonding.
Launched last October 20, 2008, the CTLC provided Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families free training on basic computer applications such as MS Word and Excel, email, video conferencing, online chat and blogging. These skills allowed more families to bridge social distances with the click of an icon.
The world is now a much smaller place, thanks to information technology services. With the access and knowledge on how to harness the information technology potential, no OFW will have to be isolated from their families again.
The training may be over but the learning and the communication never ends. Let’s connect now. (Melody Cocon, NCC/ PIA-Caraga)
