DENR-MGB 13 joins Executive and Legislative Agenda Formulation in Surigao Norte
Surigao del Norte (November 5) – The province has been known for its rich mineral endowment and it is for this reason that this province had become a popular destination for small scale and large scale mining investors. In the province, a large track of land was also identified as Mineral Reservation areas, which minerals are owned and managed by the State.
Considering the active presence of mining in the province, it is significant to the province that mining shall be given primary attention by the Chief Executive of the Province and by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan through legislation of laws.
Just recently at the Gateway Hotel, Surigao City, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB-13) met with the various representatives of several agencies, NGOs, POs, LGUs to formulate the Executive and Legislative Agenda of the Province. The agenda for Surigao del Norte focuses on the HEALS program of the Governor. The acronym HEALS stands for Health, Environment/Education, Agricuture, Llivelihood, Senior Citizen/Security among others.
According to the Governor, Hon. Sol F. Matugas, the province is on the right track as far as mining is concern. It is notable in the province that when Gov. Matugas assumed the post, she has been very particular on the environmental compliances of quarry, sand and gravel operators, including mining.
During the executive and legislative agenda formulation, MGB-13 is one of the agencies comprising the Environment Group to which the office participated in identifying issues and concerns on the environment and developing strategies to achieve the program of the Governor on environmental protection.
The activity is also aimed to establish and strengthen alliances of various groups for a consolidated action towards the betterment of the province.
Governor Matugas enjoined everyone to be involved and help the province set –up a system. She stressed on collection and generation of revenues for Surigao del Norte. (MGB-13/PIA-SDN)

DAR-Caraga booth wins “People’s Choice” award
Showcasing the best products of the communities supported by the Northern Mindanao Communities Initiatives and Resource Management (NMCIREMP) – a project funded by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the NMICEREMP Booth brought by DAR-Caraga won the People’s Choice Award during the recently concluded IFAD Knowledge and Learning Market held at the SM Mega Trade Hall, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City last 11-13 October 2010.
“We placed in our booth all the necessary information and have them backed up with real stories from the beneficiaries”, says DAR-Regional Information Officer Joie Ceballos.
The booth also offers free-taste and touch to the products. “ We want to make them feel and taste our products. This is our way of sharing our culture and our stories”, says DAR Regional Investment and Marketing Officer Jehan Ozoa.
“Sold Out”
Best-seller products run out of supply during the 2-day fair. Among them is the Farmers Pride Vinegar of the Cabugao First Farmers Consumers Coop in Bacuag, Surigao Norte, which was awarded Best Product in the 9th Agraryo Trade Fair last June.
Also proving its worth in the market is the TsokoBest Tableya, made from pure cacao seeds from Bayugan, Agusan del Sur.
While the fashion accessories made of Agsam vine, of ARB Norma de Lara from Lanuza, Surigao Sur has always been the buyer’s favorite.
Other products that became a favorite are the cassava chips of the banal na Kaharian ng Diyos na Buhay of Sta. Fe, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur, assisted by DAR-IFAD-NMCIREMP. The chips now come in two flavors--- cheesy and sweetened.
DAR hopes that with the activity, the office will be able to tie up with investors and buyers for the ARB manufacturers. (Joie L. Ceballos, DAR-13/PIA-Caraga)
