EMB underscores info officers’ role in
communicating climate change
By Venus L. Garcia
BUTUAN CITY, July 21 (PIA) – Environment and
Management Bureau (EMB) assistant director Eva Ocfemia, as represented by
EMB-Caraga administrative chief Grace Abella relayed to some 250 participating
information officers the value of how they are able to effectively convey what
climate change is all about and the mitigation and adaptation actions during
the Information Officers’ Summit on Climate Change Advocacy held in this city
on Wednesday.
“With the emerging extreme climate events,
communicating climate change well with the ultimate aim of changing behavior
and lifestyle may mean saving lives, saving properties, and saving economic
costs,” emphasized Abella.
She also said that communicating climate change
effectively is certainly a great challenge for most people who are not really
climate experts and that “there is a need to translate technical terms into
simpler words that can easily be understood by the public.”
Abella added that communicating climate change
should not be threatening or result in confusion. She said that it should
facilitate sound decisions, promote systematic and coordinated actions, and
ultimately catalyze behavioral change among the citizenry.
“This is where the crucial role of our
information comes in. While we could say that at present we have already
reached a significant level of awareness on climate change, there is still a
need for a more proactive advocacy and information campaign that would rally be
instilled in every person’s heart and mind,” bared Abella.
With the various forms of climate information
provided by relevant climate agencies and research institutions covering
climate trends and projections per province, assessment of the country’s
climate change, regular updates on the weather, and more, the challenge now is
how to translate these data and integrate these in plans and programs, said
Abella.
“We understand that knowledge and skills will
lead us to better and resilient measures in cushioning the impacts of climate
change and that is done through an effective communication plan implementation
with the support of Philippine Information Agency (PIA) specifically here in
Caraga region,” said Abella.
The two-day summit is organized by PIA and
DENR-Caraga and sponsored by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST),
Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), and Regional Tripartite Wages and
Productivity Board (RTWPB). Partners from the private sector such as Mary Kay,
PLDT-Philcom and Bayan Telecommunications also contributed to the activity.

DENR-13 cites strategies to mitigate effects of
climate change
By Jennifer P. Gaitano
BUTUAN CITY, July 21 (PIA) – The Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Caraga headed by regional director
Nonito Tamayo revealed strategies in mitigating the effects of climate change,
during the Regional Information Officers’ Summit on Climate Change advocacy
with the theme, “Strengthening Partnership Among Communities for Climate Change
Adaptation and Mitigation,” held on July 16-17, 2014 in one of the local
convention centers here.
“The National Greening Program (NGP) is a
massive forest rehabilitation program of the government established by virtue
of Executive Order No. 26 issued on February 24, 2011 by President Benigno S.
Aquino III. It seeks to grow 1.5 billion trees in 1.5 million hectares
nationwide within a period of six years, from 2011 to 2016,” bared Eric Herzon
Gallego, chief of Regional Public Affairs Office of DENR-Caraga.
Gallego, who represented director Tamayo during
the day-2 of the said summit, said that aside from being a reforestation
initiative, the NGP is also seen as a climate change mitigation strategy as it
seeks to enhance the country’s forest stock to absorb carbon dioxide, which is
largely blamed for global warming. It is also designed to reduce poverty,
providing alternative livelihood activities for marginalized upland and lowland
households relating to seedling production and care and maintenance of
newly-planted trees.
“There are actually many ways that we can do to
mitigate the effects of climate change. One of which is to travel light. Walk
or bike instead of driving a car. Cars and trucks run on fossil fuels, which
release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In the United States, automobiles
produce over 20 percent of total carbon emissions. Walk or bike and you'll save
one pound of carbon for every mile you travel,” relayed Gallego.
Gallego also advised to use compact fluorescent
light bulbs. These energy-efficient bulbs help fight climate change because
they reduce the amount of fossil fuels that utilities burn. “You will save 100
pounds of carbon for each incandescent bulb that you replace with a compact
fluorescent, over the life of the bulb,” he said.
Products made from recycled paper, glass, metal
and plastic also reduce carbon emissions because they use less energy to
manufacture than products made from completely new materials. For instance,
you’ll save two pounds of carbon for every 20 glass bottles that you recycle.
Recycling paper also saves trees and lets them continue to reduce climate
change naturally as they remain in the forest, where they remove carbon from
the atmosphere.
“If you own a car, it will get better gas
mileage when the tires are fully inflated, so it will burn less gas and emit
less carbon. Check your automobile monthly to ensure that the tires are fully
inflated. Follow this tip and save 300 pounds of carbon dioxide for every
10,000 miles you drive,” emphasized Gallego.
Gallego further bared that trees absorb carbon
dioxide from the air and use it as their energy source, producing oxygen for us
to breathe. A tree in the temperate zone found between the tropics and the
polar circles can remove and store 700 to 7,000 pounds of carbon over its
lifetime. A tree that shades a house can reduce the energy required to run the
air conditioner and save an additional 200 to 2,000 pounds of carbon over its
lifetime.
“Raise your voices and take the initiative in
helping our planet so that the developing countries would be inspired to do
their part. Participate in clean up campaigns, food waste reduction
initiatives, walk-to-work days, plastic bans, art exhibits, tree-planting
drives, concerts, recycling drives, and social media campaigns… Raising our
voices is an opportunity for everyone to realize their responsibility to care
for the earth and become agents of change. Imagine how viral it could get if we
speak up and lead the change that we seek to happen,” stressed Gallego.

Info Officers gather for Climate Change advocacy
By Aimee B. Sienes
BUTUAN CITY, July 21 (PIA) - A very successful
conduct of the Regional Information Officers’ Summit on Climate Change Advocacy
was held in one of the convention centers here on July 16-17.
The said event, with the theme,
"Strengthening Partnership Among Communities for Climate Change Adaptation
& Mitigation," was spearheaded by the Philippine Information Agency
(PIA) and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and
participated in by the information officers (IOs) of the different national
agencies and local government units (LGUs) in the Caraga Region.
The activity was held to reach out to all IOs in
the region what is the current situation now of the planet earth due to climate
change and what they can do about it to mitigate, if not prevent, the damages
and loss of lives that would happen in cases of calamities. These IOs will
relay to the people what is climate change and what are the measures necessary
to protect the land, air, trees, forests, oceans, coastal areas, mineral
resources, and even the households and offices.
DENR Caraga regional director Nonito Tamayo, in
his keynote speech, said that the Regional Summit of the Caraga Information
Officers is timely considering that acquiring knowledge and skills in effective
information delivery really makes a difference. Tamayo expressed that had there
be enough information and education, the damages and loss of life caused by
typhoon Yolanda would have been lesser.
The resource speakers shared that there should
be environmental awareness among the people, and know the mitigation and
adaptation strategies to lessen the effect of climate change. These include
tree planting, use of alternative sources of energy such as geothermal energy,
solar energy, hydropower energy and wind energy, sustainable consumption and
production of goods and services, reduce, recycle, and reuse things, cut costs
and utility costs, giving importance to personal and workplace values and
practice of 5S, i.e. sort-taking out unnecessary items and dispose,
systematize-arrange necessary items in good order, sweep-clean workplace
completely, sanitize-maintain high standard of housekeeping, and
self-discipline-do things spontaneously without being told or ordered.
A Caraga LaKAsLIKASAN Pledge was signed by the
participants for a strong commitment and dedication in information
dissemination and protecting the environment.
Climate Change, according to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is change in the climate
attributed directly or indirectly to human activities, in addition to natural
climate variability observed, over a comparable time periods. There is change
in the climate due to the change in the sun’s output, earth’s orbit, drifting
continents, volcanic eruptions and greenhouse gases. (LGU-Agusan del Norte/PIA-Agusan

Aussie dignitaries visit DFAT project in AgSur
By Eunice G. Montaos
AGUSAN DEL SUR, July 21 (PIA) - The Department
of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Caraga has facilitated recently the
high-level visit in Sibagat, Agusan del Sur of some Australian Government
Representatives in the persons of Assistant Secretary for Southeast Asia
Maritime Division Allaster Cox of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
(DFAT), and His Excellency Bill Tweddell, Australia’s Ambassador to the
Philippines.
According to Ambassador Tweddell, the purpose of
their visit is to learn more about Australia’s support to the Province of
Agusan del Sur and the site visit in El Rio was the first leg of their whole
trip. “We want to look at the completed classrooms and interact with the
community beneficiaries,” he said.
The community volunteers in Sibagat showcased a
completed school building with two classrooms in Barangay El Rio. This
sub-project was funded by the previous grant from the Australian Aid for
Development (AusAid), now DFAT, coursed through the KALAHI CIDSS- National
Community-Driven Development Program (KC-NCDDP) of DSWD.
The high-level visitors, escorted by
Philippines-Australia Community Assistance Program (PACAP) Counselor Geoff
King, Governance Adviser Paul Hutchcroft, Human Resource and Organizational
Development Facility (HROF) Portfolio Manager Erika Geronimo, and DFAT Senior
Program Officer Rosela Agcaoili, inspected the classrooms and checked the
facilities inside including the arm chairs, the comfort rooms, and others.
“I am really impressed with the completed classrooms;
the grant was apparently judiciously managed by the community volunteers,”
Twedell added.
“The visit was very enriching and we are very
thankful for the DSWD, the local authorities, and the community residents for
the wonderful partnership,” quipped Assistant Secretary Cox.
DSWD Caraga regional director Minda Brigoli
briefed the visitors and the participants on the accomplishment of the Field
Office for the Aussie-funded project implementation. “In the region, about 68
sub-projects comprised of 18 day care centers and 50 school buildings (91
classrooms) worth P 88.44 M, from the P 72.74 M AusAID grant and P 15.70 local
counterpart contribution (LCC), were implemented through the funding support of
Australia,” she shared.
“The site visit of our high-level visitors who
are also our development partners affirms the thrust towards convergence as the
beneficiaries of the school building construction are also Conditional Cash
transfer (CCT) beneficiaries,” said Brigoli.
Mayor Thelma Lamanilao expressed her thanks to
the Australian government for trusting their municipality and giving the grant
for the construction of the classrooms which were now utilized by grade 2 and 3
pupils. “The sub-project is indeed the basic social service greatly needed by the
residents in El Rio as this will provide an avenue of learning for their
children,” she quipped.
The key Regional Program Management Office
(RPMO) staff, led by regional program manager and assistant regional director
for Operations Mita Lim, were also in full-force in facilitating the said
visit.
During the dialogue with the community
volunteers, local government unit (LGU) officials, and the RPMO workers,
Allaster Cox asked the volunteers about the plans for the sustainability of the
projects.
“The community organized an operation and
maintenance group who are responsible in sustaining the sub-project. The
parents and the organization agreed that they will require a collection of 2
pesos per household which will be used for minor repairs of the school
building,” answered Dolores Padin, Barangay Sub-Project Management Committee
(BSPMC) chairperson.
Another AUD 12 M grant was provided by the
Australian government to the country. This grant shall be used for the
construction of day care centers and school buildings thru the KC-NCDDP
community-driven development approach. (Social Marketing

Lathalain: Pagkaing go, grow, glow araw-araw ang
susi sa wastong nutrisyon
By Josefina T. Gonzales
MANILA, Hulyo 21 (PIA) - Alam nyo ba na
kailangan nating kumain ng mahigit na apatnapung (40) ibat-ibang uri ng
nutrients o sustansya araw-araw?
Ayon sa bagong Nutritional Guidelines for
Filipinos (NGF) walang iisang pagkain lamang ang pwedeng magbigay ng lahat ng
sustansiya na kailangan ng ating katawan.
Ang NGF ay binalangkas ng mga dalubhasa sa
pangunguna ng Food and Nutrition Research Institute ng Department of Science
and Technology (FNRI-DOST),
Ang pagkain ng iba’t-ibang uri ng pagkain na
galing sa tatlong pangkat ng pagkain ay sapat na upang matugunan ang
pangangailangan natin, siguraduhin din na ito ay kinakain sa tamang dami.
Ang go foods ay ang mga pagkain na nagbibigay sa
atin ng enerhiya. Ang mga lamang-ugat tulad ng kamote, gabi, kamoteng kahoy,
ube na sagana sa enerhiya ay mayaman sa fiber at antioxidant. Ang mais,
kutsinta, suman at iba pang kakanin ay mainam na gawing meryenda.
Ang grow foods naman ay mga pagkaing mayaman sa
protina tulad ng karne, isda, itlog at mga butong gulay tulad ng mongo, kadyos
at buto ng sitaw. Ganon din ang mga mani at iba pang kauri nito. Ang protina
ang taga-pagbuo ng ating mga himaymay o body tissues.
Ang glow foods naman na kinabibilangan ng mga
prutas at gulay tulad ng berde, dilaw at madahong gulay ay mayaman sa bitamina
at minerals. Ito ay kailangan ng ating katawan upang palakasin ang ating immune
system. Napapanatili din nitong maayos ang ating pagdumi at iba pang bodily
processes.
Para sa maligaya at mahabang buhay, mag go, grow
at glow foods na tayo.
