By Danilo S. Makiling
BUTUAN CITY, May 10 (PIA) -– With the 30th
anniversary celebration of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA),
the regional welfare office here in Caraga region has inked a memorandum of
agreement (MOA) with local government units (LGUs) and academe as partners in
giving quality education to students of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).
According to OWWA-Caraga Regional Director
Marietta Lumawag, the activity aimed to create partnership with LGUs and the
academe in delivering the programs and services by means of putting up help
desk in the municipalities for the easy access of OFW children's concerns.
For the part of the academe, it is stipulated in
the MOA that they should be responsible in providing quality education, as well
as providing spiritual and moral guidance to children of the OFWs.
The event was graced by OWWA Administrator
Carmelita Dimzon including government executives from different municipalities
spearheaded by Surigao del Sur Gov. Johnny T. Pimentel. Leaders of the academe
from different schools in Caraga region also witnessed the event.
In his message, Gov. Pimentel expressed his
appreciation and gratitude to OWWA for crafting essential documents that will
be helpful to OFWs for their safety while working abroad, enhance their welfare
benefits and protection services to their families, and establish safety
passages in their coming home after expiration of their contracts.
"OWWA's recognitions to the local participation
in pursuing and bringing its program and services closer to its OFWs members,
and the recognition of LGU's support on its responsibility to provide immediate
and appropriate assistance would mean that there is a proper coordination
between the agency and the LGUs,” Pimentel said.
With these developments, Lumawag is hoping that
the partnership with LGUs and the academe will continue to prosper in an effort
to provide the dependents of OFWs quality education for their future.

BFAR-Caraga soon to launch fish hatchery in
Agusan del Sur town
By Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, May 10 (PIA) –- The Bureau of
Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) will soon launch a municipal fish
hatchery in Bunawan, Agusan del Sur.
BFAR-Caraga information officer Shane Abeguel
Eviota said the project primarily aims to assist local residents who are
interested to get into fishery as a livelihood opportunity but don’t have the
capacity to obtain fingerlings of different species.
The official said the project will benefit the
local residents since they can get fingerlings from the said hatchery for free.
Through the project, Eviota said it’s easy for
them (local residents) to look for fingerling types of their choice, aside from
the fact that they don’t need to go to commercial suppliers and buy
fingerlings.
“Tungod sa maong proyekto, ang mga lokal nga
residente sa maong lungsod dili na maglisod sa pagpangita og kakuhaan sa
semilya sa isda tungod kay makakuha na sila niini nga libre… butang nga dili na
sila kinahanglan mupalit pa sa mga nagkadaiyang suppliers,” Eviota said.
(Because of the project, local residents in the
area will not find hard looking for fingerlings because they can get it for
free… so they don’t need to go to any commercial suppliers and buy for it).
With these developments, the official is urging
the local residents of the town to avail services offered by the fish hatchery
through BFAR-Caraga for their livelihood.
This effort of the region’s fisheries bureau
strongly supports the economic development program of the Aquino administration
towards poverty alleviation which is embodied in the Philippine Development
Plan for 2011-2016. (RER/PIA-Caraga)

Caraga risk reduction council emphasizes role of
responsible officer, agency during disaster
By Jennifer P. Gaitano
LIPATA, Surigao City, May 10 (PIA) -- With the
recently released Memorandum Circular No. 04 series 2012 by the National
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) implementing guidelines
in the use of Incident Command System (ICS) as an on-scene disaster response
and management mechanism under the Philippine DRRM System, the Caraga RDRRMC
emphasized delegation of authority and management by objectives to the
responsible officer/agency during any incident or disaster in the region.
During the five-day Basic/Intermediate Course on
the Incident Command System at the Almont Beach Resort here, Region XI Regional
Director Liza Mazo said it is very important that the participants of said
training be oriented on the delegation of authority, scope of authority, and
desc types of policies and guidelines of agencies that influence management of
incident or event activities.
“In ICS, the Incident Commander’s scope of
authority is derived from existing laws and agency policies and procedures,
and/or through a delegation of authority from the responsible official,” said
Mazo.
A delegation of authority may not be required if
the incident commander is acting with his or her existing authorities,
meanwhile, it is needed when the incident is outside the Incident Commander’s
home jurisdiction; when the incident scope is complex or beyond existing
authorities; and if it is required by law or procedures.
Mazo further bared that the elements in
delegating authority should include: legal authorities and restrictions;
financial authorities and restrictions; reporting requirements; demographic
issues; political implications; agency on jurisdictional priorities; plan for
public information management; process for communications; and plan for ongoing
incident evaluations.
“Within his or her scope of authority, the
Incident Commander establishes incident objectives, then determines strategies,
resources, and ICS structure,” Mazo said.
The ICS is a standard, on-scene, all-hazard incident
management concept that can be used by all DRRMCs/emergency management and
response agencies.
ICS is managed by objectives and these
objectives are communicated throughout the incident planning process.

implemented in the region… hopefully this will be replicated in other regions,”
she said.

support of the LGUs and the academic institutions for the success of the
program. She said there is a need for the government to partner with public and
private stakeholders for the development of the students who are children of
OFWs.

DENR urges fishermen to help protect environment
By Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, May 10 (PIA) -- The regional office
of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) here has urged
the fishermen to help protect the environment so that marine life will continue
to thrive in the area.
This developed after concerned government
agencies confirmed that illegal fishing is still happening in the coastal
provinces of the region.
According to Eric Herzon Gallego, DENR-Caraga
information officer, mangroves are very important for fishes as this served as
their home. He added if mangrove trees are abundant in a certain coastal area,
“this means that all types of fishes are also abundant.”
The official further said in Caraga Region, the
two provinces of Surigao are known to have abundant mangrove forests. In Agusan
del Norte, the coastal areas of Cabadbaran City, Tubay, and municipalities
along the Lake Mainit are known to have mangrove trees grown.
However, Gallego said in Barangays Masao and
Lumbocan here, have less mangrove trees as these are cut down and used as
firewood by people in the area.
Because of this, the official enjoins fishermen
and the general public to take care of the mangrove trees as a way of
protecting the environment and natural resources.
According to Philippine Clearing House Mechanism
for Biodiversity, earlier literatures have reported that mangrove areas are
found in Palawan, Aurora, Isabela and Quezon in Luzon, Aklan, Samar provinces
in the Visayas, and Zamboanga, Surigao and Sulu provinces in Mindanao, with the
largest remaining mangroves areas located in Mindanao (112,745 has), Samar
(65,119 has), Palawan (37,432) and Luzon (16,769 has).
The largest mangrove areas are found in Regions
IV-B, Region VIII, CARAGA and Region VII. Palawan (52, 693 hectares) in Region
IV-B appears to have the largest mangrove area, followed by Northern Samar (9,
961.69) in Region VIII, Surigao del Sur (16,865.14) in Region XIII, and Bohol
(14,156.37) in Region VII (DENR-PAWB-CMMO, 2008). (RER/PIA-Caraga)

ng plano at budgeting para sa darating na mga taon.
“Pero hindi lamang ang panlalawigang pamahalaan
ang nagbibigay ng prebilihiyong SPES sa mga estudyante kundi pati narin ang 13
mga bayan sa Agusan del Sur at ang nag-iisang lungsod ng Bayugan, ngunit tig
kakaunti lamang, depende sa kaya ng kanilang pinansyal na kalagayan,” sabi ni
Lagumbay.
