PPA chief optimistic shipping lines to continue operation in Nasipit port
by Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, Jan. 13 (PIA) -– Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) Butuan City-Agusan del Norte Port Manager Renato Tolinero on Thursday said he is optimistic that shipping lines will continue their operation in Nasipit Port despite of the less volume of passengers these days.
In an interview over a radio station here, Tolinero admitted that ship passengers are getting lesser these past few days compared to the previous years because of the access of air line companies in Caraga Region especially here in the city.
However, the official said Shipping Lines are not dependent on the volume of passengers they will have. He added the cargoes are among their transactions where shipping line managements can get more of its income.
“Although passengers are getting lesser, it’s not much of the volume of passengers that they are getting their income. In most cases, the basis for their income is not on the passenger’s fees but on the cargoes’ fees,” Tolinero said.
This developed after local residents in Nasipit are getting worried of the situation that may result to the closure of the Nasipit port because shipping lines might discontinue their operations.
It was learned that more flights are added this year in Butuan City by the two airline companies: Philippine Air Lines (PAL) and Cebu Pacific (CEB) bound for Manila and Cebu City, while Shipping Lines voyages here are also bound for Manila, Cebu and Bohol. (PIA-Caraga)

Si Executive Secretary Paquito N. Ochoa Jr. mibutyag kagahapon, Huwebes nga ang Pangulo mipagawas sa Executive Order No. 66 niadtong Enero 9, aron pagpahapsay ug pagpasayon sa mga proseso alang sa pagkansela sa mga klase sa pangpubliko ug pribadong mga eskuylahan ug trabaho sa panggobyernong mga buhatan tungod sa kalamidad.
“This presidential issuance is an assertion of the State’s declared policy to institutionalize measures that will ensure that the general public, including students and state workers, will be safe from needless hazards and that their lives and limbs will be safeguarded,” si Ochoa miingon.
Ang EO 66 mitakda sa mosunod nga mga sumbanan sa pagkasenla o pagsuspinde sa mga klase sa pangpubliko ug pribadong eskuylahan ug trabaho sa gobyernong buhatan:
• Signal No. 1 – Ang mga klase sa pre-school level, sa apektadong lugar, awtomatikong suspendido o kanselado.
• Signal No. 2 – Ang mga klase sa pre-school, elementary ug sekondarya , sa apektadong lugar, awtomatikong kanselado o suspendidoand.

Gimandoan usab ni Pangulong Aquino ang Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) sa pagpagawas og mga weather forecast ngadto sa mga nakalain-laing mga media outlets, lakip ang radyo ug telebisyon, sa dili pa molapas sa alas 10:00p.m. ang takna sa kagabii sa naunang adlaw ug alas 4:30 a.m. sayong buntag sa adlaw sa gikatakdang kanselasyon o suspension sa mga klase ug trabaho.
Apan, ang Pangulo miingon nga sa panghitabo nga adunay mga klase ug trabaho sa buntag ug ang suspension sa mga klase ug trabaho moepekto lamang sa hapon, ang PAGASA kinahanglan mopagawas sa maong weather forecast dili pa molapas ang alas 11 a.m. sa buntag sa maong adlaw.
Ug sa samang gihayon, ang EO 66 nagtakda nga sa panahon nga walay typhoon signal o warnings gikan sa PAGASA, ang local chief executives maoy moimplementar og local nga kanselasyon o suspension sa mga klase ug trabaho uban ang koordinasyon sa weather bureau ug sa National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), partikularmente sa mga lugar nga delikado sa pagbaha.
Sa mga lugar nga apektado sa mga katalagman pang uban luyo sa mga bagyo, ang pagkansela sa mga klase sa tanang lebel sa pribado ug pangpublikong mga eskuylahan ug trabaho sa gobyerno makanselado o masuspendindo lamang kon kini edeklara sa Pangulo human ang rekomendasyon sa NDRRMC.
Gitahasan usab sa EO 66 ang NDRRMC nga pahibal-on gyud dayon ang Office of the President (OP), pinaagi sa Executive Secretary, kon aduna o sa tanang kanselasyon o suspension sa mga klase ug trabaho sa gobyerno sa apektadong mga lugar.
Ang Pangulo mimando usab sa mga ahensya sa gobyerno nga may direktang kalabotan sa disaster risk reduction and management nga imentinar ang mga operasyon sa ilang mga tagsa-tagsa ka mga buhatan aron maseguro ang padayon nga serbisyo publiko.

Ang OP, pinaagi sa Executive Secretary, adunay parehong awtoridad uban ang NDRRMC nga mokansela o mosuspende sa mga klase ug trabaho atol sa mga katalagman, gitakda sa EO. (PIA-Surigao del Norte)

AGUSAN DEL NORTE, Jan. 13 (PIA) -- Ang land conversion ang nag-unang rason sa pagkadelatar sa katukuran sa bag-ong Capitol Building sa Agusan del Norte Provincial Government ngadto na sa Barangay Sanghan, Cabadbaran City, kini ang giklaro ni Provincial Administrator Percianita G. Racho.
Sumala pa ni Racho nga nakahan-ay na ang tanang plano alang sa katukuran sa bag-ong kapitolyo, apan dili matud pa kini mapadayon kon walay desisyon sa Department of Agrarian Reform ug sa Department of Agriculture sa pag-convert sa maong yuta gikan na sa Agricultural Land ngadto na sa Commercial o Industrial Land.
Gidugang pa ni Racho nga nakompleto na sa probinsya ang tanang mga dokumento nga gikinahanglan aron ma-convert ang maong yuta, ug posible nga mogawas na ang desisyon sunod bulan, aron usab masugdan na ang pag-constrcut sa bag-ong gambalay. (Agusan del Norte PIO/PIA-Agusan del Norte)
