PCA to find remedy on pests affecting coconut trees in Agusan del Sur
By Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, April 27 (PIA) –- The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) is determined to find remedy or solution to the presence of brontispa (Brontispa longgisima) and rhinoceros beetles (Oryctes rhinoceros) that are currently devastating coconut trees in Agusan del Sur.
In a report, Manolito Casapao, technical staff of PCA-Caraga Region, more than 100 hectares of coconut trees in the province of Agusan del Sur were attacked and devastated by said pests that are believed to originate in Southeast Asia and were first discovered in 1930s.
Casapao said the presence of the rotting palm trees in the province served as breeding ground of these insects that are considered destructive to coconut trees. However, the official said PCA has already identified measures to solve the problem.
In an earlier report, the PCA has identified ways to control the pests. The infestation might be controlled through the mechanical means such as pruning, clean culture and proper disposal of infested coco trees or parts or by chemical means through the use of insecticide.
It is believed that the beetle reached the Philippines in early 2004 through the importation of ornamental palms. The young leaves of infested coconut trees appear to have blade-like cuts resulting from the feeding damage of the said beetles.
Accordingly, the province has the biggest area in the region to have been used as plantation of palm trees. The 8,000-hectare plant is maintained by Filipinas Palm Oil Plantation, Inc. (FPPI) based in the municipalities of San Francisco and Rosario in Agusan del Sur. The company has also an oil mill with a capacity of 36 tons of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) per hour.
Caraga region is one of the country’s pioneering large-scale oil palm plantation started by NDC-Guthrie in the early 80’s. The region has 53 percent of the total oil palm area in the country, or an equivalent to 13,478.22 hectares.
Meanwhile, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA)-Caraga reported that to date, Caraga Region has a total of 28,057,605 standing coconut trees. (RER/PIA-Caraga)

Crime rate in Caraga region down by 16.96 percent
By PSupt Martin M Gamba
BUTUAN CITY, April 27 (PIA) -- The Philippine National Police (PNP) Caraga, on its relentless operations and preventive measures, has been effective as the crime volume of this region has declined in the first quarter of this year compared with the same period in 2011.
The crime statistics showed 896 index crimes and 342 non-index crimes, which constituted the total of 1,238 cases in the first quarter of 2011. However, it dropped to a total of 1,028 cases in the first quarter of 2012 with 687 index crimes and 341 non-index crimes; a decline of 16.96 percent.
Accordingly, the PNP Crime Clearance Efficiency has increased from 31.99 percent to 45.04 percent.
Index crimes are very serious crimes like murder, homicide, physical injury, robbery, theft, and rape whereas the non-index ones are mere violations of special penal laws.
To minimize the occurrence of index crimes is an accomplishment of the PNP since these are directly affecting the peace and order situation.
Moreover, the comparative crime trend between 2010 and 2011 indicates the significant drop in the commission of crimes from 6,375 to 5,149 cases respectively; a significant decrease of 19.23 percent.
“The intensification of anti-criminality campaigns and effective policing strategies has been instrumental” said PCSupt Reynaldo S Rafal, PNP-Caraga Regional Director.
Police Regional Office 13, with utmost dedication, is serious in thwarting the occurrence of criminality to make Caraga more progressive; one essential way is to maintain its peace and order.
“We will be exerting our efforts more to deter and penalize the criminals” he concluded. (NCLM/PIA-Caraga/PNP-13)

TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Sur, April 27 (PIA) -– The Farmer Field School (FFS) in Surigao del Sur has produced more number of farmer-graduates.
Marcos Quico, provincial agriculturist, said two separate batches of farmers will add to the list since they are slated to graduate at the end of this month in Barangays Unidos and Kinabigtasan in Tago, Surigao del Sur.
Quico stressed, since the implementation of the FFS in the province several years back, over a thousand farmers have already graduated and learned on organic farming which, he said, is a “marching order” from the Department of Agriculture (DA).
It was learned that during the 16-day training, farmers here are discouraged to use pesticides in order to protect the ecosystem.
Meanwhile, Quico said the inclusion of the province of Surigao del Sur in the “2011 Ten Rice Achiever Provinces” in the country was partly attributed to the FFS which paved the way to increase rice production. (NGBT/Radyo Ng Bayan Tandag)

Cebuano news: Recto Bank gas deposit usa ka maayong balita alang sa nasud, ingon sa Palasyo
Ni Susil D. Ragas
MANILA, Abril 27 (PIA) -– Gikalipay sa MalacaΓ±ang ang mga taho nga adunay dakong deposito sa natural gas ang Recto Bank nga pwedeng makasuporta sa nasod sa gikinahanglang mga enerhiya.
Si Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda miingon sa regular press conference didto sa MalacaΓ±ang kagahapon Huwebes nga samtang nalipay ang Palasyo sa maong mga taho, maghulat pa kini sa taho gikan sa service contractors nga mihimog pakisusi sa maong erya.
“We will wait for their disclosures. Secretary Almendras is now waiting for their report. But certainly it will be another source of energy for us and natural gas is cheaper than gas and so it’s going to be good for us,” siya miingon.
“We’re confident that if that has been proven it will definitely help us in our energy needs,” si Lacierda mipasabot.
Sa dihang gipanguta kung ang Pilipinas adunay bay kabalaka mahitungod sa maong pagkakaplag tungod kay giangkon man usab sa China ang Recto Bank, si Lacierda miingon “ We have always maintained that Recto Bank is within 70 nautical miles of our – the lowest point, so we believe that it is ours.”
Apan si Lacierda miingon dili siya gusto nga mohatag pa sa dugang mga komento tungod sa kasensitbo sa maong isyu ug bahala nalang ang Department of Foreign Affairs nga modala niini.
Matud sa UK—based energy exploration company, ang mga resulta gikan sa 3D seismic surveys nga gihimo niadtong 2006 “indicated a mean volume of 3.4 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas in place from sands tested in the three wells drilled to-date…” didto sa Recto Bank.
Ang 2006 3D seismic survey mipakita nga ang gas in place mokabat sa 21 porsyento sobra kaysa reserves didto sa Malampaya gas field.
Ang Recto Bank, giila usab isip Reed Bank, usa ka parte sa territorial dispute tali sa Pilipinas ug China lakip ang Spratly Islands didto sa West Philippine Sea.
Ang gobyernong Pilipinas miingon ang pagpanag-iya sa Recto Bank usa ka dili malalis tungod kay kini aduna lamang gilay-on nga 70 nautical miles gikan sa west Palawan, ug mas duol sa mainland sa nasod kumpara sa Scarborough Shoal, laing flashpoint off Zambales.
