By Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, Feb. 10 (PIA) -- Citing the importance of short messaging system (SMS) as one of the fastest means of communication that is available at present, officials and personnel of Butuan City Police Office (BCPO) on Wednesday launched the “I-text mo sa Hepe” program in one of the local convention centers here.
During the Barangay Peace and Order Consultation, BCPO chief PSupt Pedro Obaldo said this initiative was undertaken to strengthen the relationship between policemen and the general public, which may lead to proper coordination that is useful in solving crimes quickly.
“Sa pamamagitan ng programang ito, magkakaroon ng magandang ugnayan ang ating mga kapulisan sa mga mamamayan upang mapadali ang paglutas ng anumang klaseng krimen na nangyayari sa ating komunidad,” Obaldo said.
(Through this program, police officers will have good relationship with the public in the immediate solving of all kinds of crimes that are happening in our community).
Obaldo further said after the launching, the entire police force in the city is hoping that the public will now have the courage to report everything they know so that crimes will be solved.
The official is also optimistic that with the use of the latest technology in electronic communication, police officers can immediately respond to any untoward incidents that may happen.
Through this, Obaldo said officials of BCPO can also monitor their personnel and whenever crimes happened, police officers can be immediately called to respond to such incidents.
The official said to date police hotline numbers are still on the process of finalization to ensure successful implementation of the program.
It has been noted that majority of the government agencies in the region are started to use the SMS as a platform of communication news and information exchange between the government officials and personnel to the public.
The adoption of this technology was already implemented by Philippine Information Agency (PIA)-Caraga Region years ago, through the PIA Text Blast where news and information about the region are sent to significant number of recipients in different sectors of society. (PIA-Caraga)

Feature: Students affected by Sendong gets education aid
By Danny Escabarte
BUTUAN CITY, Feb. 10 (PIA) -- Compassion and generosity moves people to continue helping survivors as they to go back living normal lives after the tragedy. It may take longer time to heal the wounds and trauma brought by tropical storm Sendong, but the survivors have shown strong determination to start anew.
Despite the difficulties, Jasmin Pagador, 6; and two of her elder siblings still go to school with just few sheets of pad paper on hand. The flood inundated their village and washed away their meager belongings including schoolbags and uniforms. None of their family members perished during the incident as they were able to climb over the rooftop of a neighbor's house.
Like the rest of the survivors, their determination encouraged compassionate individuals and organizations to help. Humanitarian aid continues to pour for students affected by the deluge, this time the aid comes in the form of educational assistance consisting of assorted school supplies, T-shirts and skirts for uniforms, slippers instead of shoes and books among others.
Jasmin Pagador was happy to have received the education starter package. She was one of the 471 school children of Cabili Village Elementary School benefited recently from the assistance facilitated by the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP). Their school is among those badly hit by flashflood when Sendong passed over the area last December. Jasmin's classroom was damaged forcing her teacher to find another place where to conduct temporary classes.
Rafael Lopa, head of PBSP, visited flood-damaged schools in Iligan and Cagayan de Oro to see where the Foundation and its corporate partners could channel available resources to help ease the burden of Sendong survivors.
During the early stage of relief operations, PBSP helped mobilized member companies to donate basic survival necessities for flood-stricken families. Filipinos here and abroad responded with great compassion. The corporate foundation facilitated the visit to Cagayan de Oro of Filipino-American hip-hop artist of the Black Eyed Peas apl.de.ap.
Touched by the condition of survivors, Apl.de.Ap extended his share to help his kababayans. His leaving Cagayan de Oro after coming face to face with suffering kids and families might have moved him so much, that he sent his managers to do a deeper follow up visit to areas in Cagayan and Iligan to assess other possible needs of survivors.
Jennifer Belle, one of his managers cried when she met Jasmin at Cabili Village Elementary School in Iligan. She doesn’t know how to speak Bisayan dialect but she understood Jasmin's feelings as she tried to talk to the little girl during the visit. Both of them were speechless as they viewed the damaged classroom of Jasmin.

Collaboration boosts creation of Agusan Norte Tourism Master Plan
By Gervacio C. Dauz, Jr.
BUTUAN CITY, Feb. 10 (PIA) -- In a bid to hasten the development and expansion of the tourism industry in the Province of Agusan del Norte, planning and tourism officers both from the municipal and provincial government units, including stakeholders from the Provincial Tourism Council, Department of Tourism and TESDA have had been converging for several intensive sessions to map out strategies for a workable and encompassing Provincial Tourism Master Plan.
Daniel Calo, provincial tourism officer of the Provincial Government of Agusan del Norte, projected that the result of their collaborative efforts will see fruition 30 to 45 days from the time of this writing. Once fully hatched, he foresaw that the master plan will play a pivotal role and will shape the upcoming programs, projects, and activities of the provincial tourism sector.
He said the move is in synch with the desire of President Benigno Aquino III to make tourism as one of the main economic drivers under his watch, with the expressed directive of ushering in at least 10 million tourist arrivals in the country by year 2016. As of now, the country is lagging behind compared to other Asian players with tourist arrivals hitting less than four million, Calo added.
Jean Camarin, supervising tourism officer of DOT Caraga, revealed that her agency pitched in at least P150,000 to facilitate the holding of planning-workshop sessions in order to fast track the Provincial Tourism Master Plan and in a way rejuvenate the emerging provincial tourism industry.
She disclosed that the provincial government’s initiative of coming up with the master plan is in line with the directives under RA 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009, which is “an act declaring a national policy for tourism as an engine of investment, employment, growth and national development and strengthening the Department of Tourism and its attached agencies to effectively and efficiently implement that policy, and appropriating funds therefor.”
The master plan has at least five components namely: (a) Infrastructure; (b) Facilities and Services; (c) Marketing and Promotion; (d) Product Development; and (e) Institution and Governance.
TESDA has come in as a stakeholder with specific emphasis on the component Facilities and Services. To clarify matters, the collaborative body agreed that Facilities is the investors’ or employers’ side, while Services is the workers’ side – both of whom are working in tandem to propel the tourism industry.
Provincial Director Florencio F. Sunico, Jr. of TESDA Agusan del Norte said, "It is hard to imagine developing the Tourism Sector without good services. And when we talk about services, we are talking about human resource development, which is part of the forte and mandate of TESDA.”
He contended the need to professionalize the tourism sector services, because “for all we know, TESDA, being the Authority, is tasked to cultivate and enhance the promotion and advancement of the middle level manpower sector through technical education and skills development. Part of doing this is that we need to certify our skilled workers under TESDA.”
He went on to share that TESDA has lots of qualifications that are within the domain of tourism industry such as but not limited to Bartending, Commercial Cooking, Food and Beverage Services, Food Processing, Housekeeping, Household Services, Massage Therapy, Tour Guiding, Tourism Management, etc.
As a tandem collaborating and facilitating the need of the provincial government to come up with a sensible master plan, DOT looks at the macro level of things, while TESDA delves into the finer points of educating, training and certifying the front-liners in the arena of services.
Greg Hontiveros, a known local historian, was hired by the provincial government as consultant to arrange and package the whole master plan. In the process, he has inputted critical development points, which were incorporated in drafting the master plan. (TESDA-Agusan del Norte/NCLM/PIA-Agusan del Norte)
