in AgSur town
By Jennifer P. Gaitano
BUTUAN CITY, July 10 (PIA) -- Despite the distance from the municipal
proper of San Francisco in the province of Agusan del Sur, the local residents
particularly the youth in Purok 8, Barangay New Visayas were delighted to have
received different sorts of relief assistance that have reached their place.
This initiative was made possible by the individuals from the provincial
government of Agusan del Sur with the local government unit of San Francisco,
media entities and other concerned government agencies that travelled in
kilometers just to hand in the food packs, snacks, seedlings, toys, shoes and
slippers for the residents.
The beneficiaries were thankful for the aid extended to them from the
government and partners, especially during this time where the community
quarantine is still strictly implemented.
“We are happy to have visited by the personnel from the different
government offices and media, who brought us good news and relief assistance
that we need. We really appreciate the effort of our government and the private
sector who care for us and our welfare,” said alias “Pedro”, a former rebel.
Alias Pedro also requested that the local government give due attention
in providing them concrete roads, so transportation going to and from the area
would be more easier and convenient.
“We are humbly requesting our provincial government officials to help us
also in developing the roads here in our place, so that we would experience
easier and convenient transportation,” added Pedro.
According to Richard Grande, president of Agusan del Sur Media Club,
most of the residents are family members or relatives of the former rebels, who
are now active supporters of the government and are constantly helping in the
ways to address the problem on insurgency, among others.
Meanwhile, Governor Santiago Cane, Jr., encouraged all the residents to
be more vigilant and to prevent themselves from being victims of the deception
and lies of the Communist Party of the Philippine - New People’s Army (CPP-NPA).

RTF for COVID-19 OKs limited commercial flights in Caraga
By Doreen Marielle N. Rosales
BUTUAN CITY, July 10 (PIA) -- The Regional Task Force for COVID-19 One
Caraga Shield (RTF-COCS) has approved the resumption of limited commercial
flights to and from Caraga Region, starting with Bancasi Airport in Butuan City
on 08 July 2020.
During its 9th Teleconference Meeting held last July 3, the task force
allowed the said resumption of flights by virtue of the Resolution No.
49, S. 2020, entitled “A Resolution Allowing the Resumption of Commercial
Air Flights at the Bancasi Airport in Butuan City, Subject to Specific
Conditions”, provided that the following precautionary measures are put in
place.
Resumption of commercial airline operations shall be allowed on July 8
for Cebu Pacific and July 13 for Philippine Airlines. Both airline companies
shall each be allowed to operate one flight, four times in a week only on
Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Airline operators shall be limited to operate at 50% of their seating
capacity, which may be increased to 75 percent, depending on the COVID-19
developments in the region.
Passengers are required to present their COVID-19 test results, which
shall not be older than five days prior to their travel date. The said tests
may either be rapid antibody test (RAT) or reverse transcription polymerase
chain reaction (RT-PCR) prior to boarding the aircraft and will be shouldered
by the passengers. Likewise, passengers who will not be able to present a
negative RAT or RT-PCR negative result shall not be allowed to board the
airplane. The cost of testing may be added to the passenger’s travel fare,
should the airline companies themselves consider facilitating the passenger’s
testing prior to boarding the aircraft.
Airline companies are also required to secure the personal details of
the passengers relating to the address of their final destinations and their
contact numbers.
Meanwhile, in the light of the increasing number of confirmed cases of
COVID-19 from inbound local stranded individuals (LSIs) and returning overseas
Filipinos (ROFs), the RTF-COCS also pushed for a more regulated entry of LSIs
into the region by requiring all those arriving to be tested at their point of
origin and be quarantined for 14 days at their point of destination.
Passed by the RTF-COCS, Resolution No. 50, S. 2020, entitled “A
Resolution Requiring All Arriving Locally Stranded Individuals (LSIs) Into the
Region to be Tested at Their Point of Origin and be Quarantined for Fourteen
(14) Days at their Point of Destination” intends to lower or prevent the risk
of spreading COVID-19 while also facilitating the entry of returning residents
into the region.
During the same meeting, the request of the city government of Butuan to
implement modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) in 33 identified
barangays from July 4-15 was also concurred, per the recommendation of the
Regional Validation and Screening Committee (RSVC). (Amethyst Joy A. Galos,

DA’s FMR in Caraga: A catalyst for development
By Kent Warren H. Fugoso
BUTUAN CITY, July 10 -- The implementation of Farm-to-Market Roads (FMR)
of the Department of Agriculture (DA) has since led to the continuous
development of various livelihoods in agriculture and fishery. This led to a
more accessible and productive farm area, reduced cost of mobility, and faster
delivery of farm products.
The DA Caraga in partnership with the Department of Public Works and
Highways (DPWH) and the Local Government Units (LGUs) implemented and completed
121 FMRs with a total worth of P1.9 billion. In five years time (2015-2019), a
total of 185.6 kilometers (km.) was constructed regionwide.
These FMR projects apportioned to different provinces and LGUs changed
the progression of the agriculture and fishery sector in the region in terms of
profit, market, production, and transportation.
“Our FMR projects are responsible for linking our production area
towards the intended market of the product we are producing. If it does not
link directly to our intended market, it will somehow link to the road network
leading to the market,” said Engineering Division Head Engr. Rene Morales.
“It is not just our farmer’s products that we are going to link to the
market, but also it will bring easy access to import agricultural inputs to our
respective production areas,” he added.
Agricultural inputs are products that are needed in crop and livestock
production. This includes seeds, fertilizers, feedstuffs, and plant protection
products.
Mobility wise, these projects have affected positively to the efforts exerted
by the farmers in rural areas now, compared to the traditional practices of
transporting before.
“There is really an advantage if we have an FMR project in the LGU.
Before, the roadway of our farmers is muddy and crooked, which is a stress for
them because they used “habal-habal” or improvised motorcycles with extended
wings when transporting their products. Through the FMR, things got easier and
the best quality of their products still remain,” said FMR Focal Person, Thessa
Bongcawel.
For the 121 successfully completed FMRs in the region, communities
living near these projects have great stories to tell. Stories of life
transformation, better connections, and a secure future for the next
generation.
According to Acresia P. Camarin, current Barangay Chairperson of
Barangay Del Pilar, Cabadbaran City, Agusan del Norte, the FMR program has
given better road access to them and the Indigenous community living in the
area.
“Better road access has been experienced by our Mamanwa Community in Del
Pilar. Even though it’s not that close to their area, it’s still a lesser
burden for them because it’s already accessible unlike before. Now, they can
easily transport their harvested crops like abaca and rubber to the market,”
Camarin said.
Opportunities expanded like a ripple effect as FMR projects are
continuously implemented throughout the region. Benefiting multiple
livelihoods, greater production areas, and productive rural communities.
DA-Caraga Regional Executive Director Abel James I. Monteagudo said that
the DA pushes for greater investment in infrastructure development as it aims
for a more food secure and resilient communities. Infrastructures like FMRs, he
said, would improve logistics and linkages of production areas to the domestic
and export markets. With the Farm-to-Market Road Development Program (FMRDP) of
the DA, more areas are being proposed for funding to fully serve the farmers
and fishers in the region.
“FMR gives better leverage to farmers' access to a better price for
their products. It helps its product to be more saleable as FMRs reduces
handling losses, thus, giving farmers more profit and more returns from its
produce. It’s not only profit that the farmers could enjoy out of the FMR but
the accessibility it gives brings in basic services like health services,
access to school, and security”, Director Monteagudo said.
This year 2020, from the 35 proposed FMR projects under FMRDP amounting
to P608 Million, seven of these are now for implementation with a total amount
of P163M while the 28 are considered under For Later Release. (DA-13 RAFIS/PIA

AgSur farmers disowns NAMASUR, creates a new association as their own
TALACOGON, Agusan del Sur, July 10 -- Former members of Nagkahiusang
Mag-uuma sa Agusan del Sur (NAMASUR) have undergone reorientation and
registration of their newly organized association conducted recently in
Barangay Guadalupe, Esperanza, this province.
With the support of Esperanza Local Government Unit and with the
guidance of it's Municipal Mayor Leonida P. Manpatilan, the Guadalupe United
Farmers Association (GUFA) as their new organization was registered through the
assistance of the Municipal Information Office and Public Employment Service
Office (PESO) spearheaded by Gina Amonhay, together with the combined troops
from 26th Infantry Battalion and 41st Civil-Military Operation (CMO) Company,
4th CMO Battalion, under 4th Infantry Division, Philippine Army.
Based on intelligence reports and revelations from former rebels,
NAMASUR is one of the organizations being utilized by the CNTs (Communist NPA
Terrorists) on fundraising and even source of manpower during the conduct of
protests and rallies against the government in urban areas, worst is it also
become a source of recruitment for NPA regulars and cadres.
As part of its deceptive tactics, the organizer of NAMASUR as it was
legally qualified as People's Organization, will proposed livelihood projects to
concerned public or private agencies in order to gain funds which will, later
on, be used as support to CNT movement.
"Isip presidente sa GUFA nga amung bag-ong asosasyon, ako
nagpasalamat sa tabang sa atuang gobyerno ilabi na sa mga kasundaluhan sa ilang
gibuhat sa panuyo nga kami mahigmata ug maundang ang paggamit sa amua sa
NAMASUR. Wala mi mga kalabutan nga daotan diay ang tumong ug panuyo sa amuha sa
maong organisasyon," Arthur P. Cabana said, former NAMASUR member.
Meanwhile, Lt. Col. Reynald Romel A. Goce, commanding officer of 26IB,
expressed his gratitude and compliment to all the farmers who unravel their
membership to NAMASUR.
"This is the time for us to unite in order to defeat these
deceptive tactics of the CNT in using our farmers to be part of their violence
and ambition in grabbing political power from our government. Hopefully, this
will be the start of our winning cause in defeating this kind of left-leaning
organization," he said.
As prescribed by RA 11479 (Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020), under Sec. 12 of
the said act, "Any person who provides any material support to any
terrorist individual or terrorist organization, association or group of people
knowing that such groups are involved in terroristic activities, shall be
liable as principal to any and all other terroristic activities committed by
said individuals or organizations in addition to any criminal liabilities
he/she or they may have incurred in relation thereto".
The CPP-NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States,
European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the
Philippines pursuant to the provisions of RA 9372 or the Human Security Act of
2007. (26IB/PIA-Agusan del Sur)

By Jennifer P. Gaitano
LUNGSOD NG BUTUAN, Hulyo 10 (PIA) -- Kasunod ng pagsuko ng ilang
miyembro ng Communist Party of the Philippines - New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) sa
