PIA’s AFEBS gains support from RDRRMC Caraga
members
By Jennifer P. Gaitano
BUTUAN CITY, April 3 (PIA) – The Advance Forward
Emergency Broadcasting System (AFEBS) initiated by the Philippine Information
Agency (PIA) Caraga through regional director Abner Caga has gained
appreciation and support from the member-agencies of the Regional Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council (RDRRMC) chaired by Office of Civil Defense
(OCD) Caraga regional director Liza Mazo during its full council meeting held
in one of the local convention centers here.
PIA-Caraga deputy regional director Fryan
Abkilan relayed that the regional office under RD Caga conceptualized this
public communication system designed for disaster response.
“The occurrences of natural disasters have
increased with global warming and climate change. Though disasters cannot be
completely prevented, its effects can be mitigated through effective
communication and timely, accurate and relevant information. Thus, a public
communication system specifically designed for disaster response was
conceived,” explained Abkilan.
The AFEBS has several salient features which
include the following: tested and proven to operate 24/7 in all weather
conditions; can be heard over the radio, internet or cellphone/smartphones; and
compact and highly mobile (can be transferred anytime, anywhere in just an hour
or two).
“Practically, it can be operated with only one
person. It is also a user-friendly (plug and play), locally assembled (90
percent of spare sparts are available locally – can lasts so long), and is
maintenance-free,” Abkilan added.
Also, Abkilan further announced that the project
will soon be implemented in Surigao City where disasters most significantly
occur in this part of the region.
Meanwhile, hearing the report of the agency’s
deputy regional director, RD Mazo lauded the effort of PIA-Caraga for this
initiative which is very useful and helpful.
“We now have an advanced communication system
thru PIA’s effort being the information arm of the government. We, in the
council really appreciate this innovation,” stressed Mazo. (JPG/PIA-Caraga)

AgSur collaborates with BFAR in its intensified
promotion on tilapia production
By Jasmin J. Reyes
AGUSAN DEL SUR, Apr. 3 (PIA) - The provincial
government here through the Provincial Agriculture Office (PAO) has been
collaborating with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources XIII (BFAR-13)
thru its Provincial Fisheries Office for the establishment of 20 modules
techno-demo on tilapia and bangus production in fish cages, one module fish pen
and 49 techno-demo on tilapia and bangus production in ponds.
Each techno-demo costs P150,000 for the netting
materials and fish feeds requirements for one cropping as initial investment
capital with an area of 300 sq. meters. A total of 10.3 meters was provided by
BFAR for this endeavor in 2013.
The farmers’ counterparts are bamboo poles and
labor requirements. The provincial government provided the needed tilapia
fingerlings from the provincial fish hatchery, trainings and other technical
assistance.
To date, the program benefited 20 fisherfolks’
associations with a total of 339 fish farmers province wide. These are located
and implemented in feasible areas identified by PAO in various municipalities
in the province.
Fish farmers started harvesting and enjoying
delectable native dishes of tilapia. Some were sold at the local markets at
P80.00 per kilo.
Initial production from tilapia both in fishcage
and fishpond techno-demos totaled to 14,647 kilograms valued at P1.1 million.
Harvest is expected to continue in the coming months.
Endowed with vast rivers and lakes, Agusan del
Sur is potential for the production of fresh water fishes and other aquaculture
products. This could be develop either in fish cage or fish pond.
Since the implementation of Intensified and
Sustainable Development of Aquaculture (ISDA) program in 2005, the provincial
government intensifies promotion and development of potential waters for
production of tilapia and other freshwater fishes. Under the program are
various interventions like provision of quality tilapia fingerlings and
financial assistance, training and seminars including establishment of
technology demonstration projects showcasing appropriate technologies. (DMS/Provincial

200 Mindanao barangays eyed as reforestation
sites
DAVAO CITY, April 3 (PIA) - Two hundred
barangays in Mindanao will soon engage in massive reforestation activities
aimed to generate at least two million seedlings of forest trees to be planted
among typhoon-prone and perennially flooded areas in the island-region.
The initiative is a collaborative effort of the
Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR), and the Department of Interior and Local Government
(DILG) through MinDA’s MindaNOW! Nurturing Our Waters Program and DENR’s
Barangay Forest Program (BFP), a component of its National Greening Program
(NGP).
Called the Barangay StraTREEgic Forest Project
(BSFP), the activity is designed to rehabilitate natural habitats and
strengthen multi-sectoral commitment in the reforestation of Mindanao’s denuded
areas.
“We hope to contribute in achieving the Aquino
Administration’s NGP targets through this project, while also securing
resiliency in our vulnerable communities,” said MinDA chairperson Luwalhati
Antonino.
She added that for the first batch of
implementation, MinDA committed 200 planting sites to jumpstart and fast-track
the BSFP initiative within the island-region.
“Among the prioritized barangays also include
those that are located near critical coastal areas and rivers,” said Antonino
while adding “the project also includes sustainable livelihood for the
identified barangays to ensure that the barangay constituents can develop a
steady source of income by protecting the environment.”
The Barangay StraTREEgic Forest Project also
encourages for the establishment of the Payment for Environment Services (PES),
a mechanism designed to guarantee sustainability of industries that are
dependent on natural resources and help restore areas with heavily degraded
environment.
The PES ensures that local governance are
paralleled with efforts to protect and conserve the environment by creating an ordinance that
allows it to collect fees from its constituents who subscribe to services that
are dependent on natural resources.
In the Municipality of Naawan in Misamis
Oriental, the local government is successfully implementing its PES program by
collecting P1.00 for every cubic meter of water that a household consumes. The pooled funds will be allocated for the
reforestation of Lake Danao, the town’s water source to ensure sustainability
of their local water system, which is dependent on the lake.
“The role of LGUs in this undertaking is crucial
as many of our efforts depend largely on the quality of leadership and
governance that we have at the local level. Our goal is to sustain the
reforestation efforts even beyond 2016,” Antonino said.
She added that MinDA is also looking at tapping
corporate partners as well as the private sector in coming up with an incentive
scheme for the top performing barangays under the StraTREEgic program.
The DENR committed to allocate P100,000.00 to
generate at least 10,000 seedlings per identified barangay and will facilitate
the establishment of nurseries and tree growing activities in the
barangay-level. (MinDA/PIA-Caraga)

sexes in a competitive setting; provide the technical-vocational education and
training system with an objective and precise means of measuring the
comparative and collective quality of its output; and promote cooperation
between and among institutions in the Technical Vocational Education and
Training (TVET) stakeholders.
It also promotes the transfer and exchange of
voc-tech education and training technologies; highlight the active
participation and contribution of industry organizations in advocating skills
excellence through competition; magnetize the attention and sustain the
interest of young people towards occupations; instill self-esteem and pride
among those who chose the blue–collar vocation, by advocating through the
competition activities, the vital role of skilled workers in nation-building;
and cultivate the cooperative spirit of the various stakeholders in the
development of middle-level technical workforce.
Winners in the different trade areas will have
the opportunity to represent the country in the 2014 ASEAN Skills Competition
on October in Hanoi, Vietnam. On the other hand, winners in the ASEAN will
represent in the World Skills Competition in 2015.
It can be recalled that during the 2012 ASEAN
Skills Competition in Malaysia, the Philippines garnered one bronze medal in
the Fashion Technology.

said TESDA Director-General Sec. Joel J. Villanueva is hopeful that the
Philippine delegation will again give a good fight in the ASEAN Skills
Competition, and will have the chance to represent Southeast Asian Nations in
the 2015 World Skills Competition. (TESDA-13/PIA-Caraga)

harapin ng pamahalaan ano mang kalalabasan mula ng ito ay magsampa ng kaso
laban sa China sa isang pangmundong korte dahil sa hidwaan ng dalawang bansa sa
West Philippine Sea, sabi ng Palasyo noong Miyerkoles.

Para sa sinabi ng Chinese charge d’affaires Sun
Xiangyang na ang Pilipinas ay nakagawa ng seryosong pinsala sa bilateral na
relasyon nito sa China,” tinukoy ni Coloma si Pangulong Aquino na nagsabi noong
kanyang 2011 sa kanyang pagbisita sa China na “ang kabuuang relasyon ng
Pilipinas at ng People’s Republic of China ay hindi ipinaliwanag ng West
Philippine Sea.”
“Sa pananaw po ng ating bansa, iyong
pakikipag-ugnayan natin sa People’s Republic of China ay mayroong kasaysayan na
batay din sa pakikipagkaibigan at pakikipagtulungan. Marami pong larangan na
