Una na ang duha ka desinyo sa Balangay Boat ang “Mazawa Hong Butuan ug Diwata ng Lahi”.
Ang mga gisukit-sukit nga mga baroto ang magtug-an sa kaniadtong destinasyon sa mga lumadnong kagikan nga milawig gawas sa Pilipinas.
Sa giluwatang mensahe ni Butuan City Mayor Ferdinand Amante, kini misaysay sa kahinungdanon sa kagikan lakip na ang simbolo sa kausa sa pagtukod sa ikatulong Balangay Boat (Sama Tawi-Tawi) sa pagpadayon sa paglawig dala ang damgo sa pagpa-ila sa kalibutanong history sa dakbayan.
“In the beginning there was no Philippines but there was Butuan, Filipino is rich in ancient history”, sulti sa Mayor.
Nahimong mabungahon ang programa pinaagi sa mga pasundayag ug pagpasalamat ngadto sa kahitas-an sa pagtukod sa ikatulong paglawig nga gipangunahan ni Most. Rev. Carmelo Morelos, D.D.

AFP to prioritize human rights
As the AFP Chief of Staff Lt Gen Ricardo David Jr vowed to prioritize promotion of human rights, the units up to the Battalion level highly supports his declaration and are willing to strengthen the AFP Human Rights Office (AFPHRO). The AFP believes that "We can win the insurgency war without violating human rights" as stated by LGen David. Likewise, all military movements will be guided by the rule of law and rights-based rules of engagement.
According to AFP-Civil Relations Service (CRS) chief, BGen Francisco Cruz Jr, the strengthening of human rights offices was aimed to improving the military units' understanding of issues concerning human rights. "The setting up of these human rights desks is to give voice to those who may have human rights concern, both civilian and military; to create a network of support; to act as swiftly as possible on cases, or to undertake human rights advocacy through these human rights desks, AFP endeavors to improve each of its unit's understanding and observance of human rights," he said.
Cruz said among the steps to be undertaken is the setting up of comprehensive human rights program intended for the soldiers, including trainees and cadets, to further learn respect for human rights principles. The adherence to human rights as an integral element to command responsibility will be inculcated to the soldiers through this program, he noted. Corresponding to this lastest human rights campaign, the AFP has reached out to other human rights groups and advocates by communicating prevalent issues and its human rights initiatives. Cruz and other AFP officers met with representatives of various human rights institutions, such as the International Federation for Human Rights based in Paris, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, the Redress Organization, which is based in London; and the Philippine Alliance for Human Rights Advocates to discuss human rights issues relevant to the military organization.
We have long realized that having the monopoly of the legitimate use of force as an instrument of national policy comes with heavy responsibilities in our soldiers. As such, we shall continue to strengthen these human rights efforts by inculcating in our men and women in all ranks and all levels prior to their entry to the military service. (Lt. Gabatin, 36IB/PIA Surigao del Sur)
