plastic pollution and how to prevent it.
Lorijane
Sacote of DTI-Caraga shared how consumers could be wise enough in purchasing
items with a limited budget. She also cited several ways on how to reduce
wastes. "The best way to manage waste is not to produce it," she
said.
“If we
want to live with less plastic, let us practice the following: 1) Bring your
own shopping bag; 2) Carry a reusable water bottle; 3) Bring your own cup; 4)
Pick your lunch in reusable containers; 5) Say no to disposable straws and
cutlery; 6) Skip the plastic produce bags; 7) Slow down and dine in; 8) Store
leftovers in glass jars; and 9) Share these tips with your friends,” added
Sacote.
Sacote
further encouraged consumers to recycle materials that would otherwise be
thrown away as trash and turn them into new products. “Look for the recycled
option in all the products your buy,” she bared.
Meanwhile,
Leslie Cortes, representative from the Department of Health (DOH)-Caraga, also
briefed from the members the COVID-19 vaccination program of the government
that the public must know about. She bared that the DOH with the local
government units in the region will implement an electronic immunization
registry in sites following priority eligible groups.
“We
could protect our families by getting ourselves vaccinated and getting our
immediate families vaccinated too,” Cortes said. (JPG/PIA-Caraga)

By 1Lt.
Edmar C. Colagong
KITCHARAO,
Agusan del Norte, Mar. 12 -- The 29th Infantry (Matatag Fighters)
Battalion (29IB), Philippine Army in cooperation with the city government of
Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte recently launched a free film viewing of ‘Memoirs
of a Teenage Rebel’ at the Rizal Park Plaza, Cabadbaran City, Agusan del Norte.
The

CariΓ±o (RCP) Productions, to expose the schemes committed by the Communist
Terrorist Groups (CTGs) and their front organizations.
It
covers the story of Ivy Lyn Corpin, a former rebel, who left the armed group in
her pursuit of much peaceful life.
Likewise,
the unit has also uploaded the said full movie at the 29IB Official Facebook
Page for those others who were not able to watch it at the plaza.
According
to Lt. Col. Aristotle Antonio, Commanding Officer of 29IB, the movie is perfect
to be watched by youth and parents to help them see the reality of deception
and recruitment made by the NPAs. "Also, this would awaken the sense of
responsibility of every parent to better lookout and properly guide their
children,” Lt. Col. Antonio said.
“The
unit has been very zealous in its aim to conduct information education campaign
(IEC) in the whole area of operation, not just that they may be informed and
awaken from its sweetest lies, but also that people may not have any excuse to
say that they have been deceived or that they didn’t know that it was NPAs
then,” he added. (CMO Officer, 29IB PA/PIA Agusan del Norte)
27 ka paresan gikasal
isip kahabin sa mga kalihukan sa AguSerbisyo sa Agusan Norte
DAKBAYAN
SA BUTUAN, Marso 12 -- Mokabat sa 27 ka paresan sa mga kaliwat sa Tribong
Higaonon ang gikasal isip kabahin sa mga kalihukan niadtong Marso 9, ang una sa
duha ka adlaw nga community immersion ug AguSerbisyo nga gihimo sa probinsya sa
Agusan del Norte sa pangpanguna ni Gobernador Dale B. Corvera sa Sitio
Bokbokon, Lawan-lawan, Las Nieves, Agusan del Norte.
Tumong
sa maong kalihukan nga mahimong lehitimo ang ilang kaminyoon pinaagi sa
marriage contract.
Sumala
pa ni Morell T. Obsioma, local civil registrar sa Las Nieves nga “Na
sudlay-sudlay nagyud nato ang tanang mga walay kasal. Kanang mga nag ipon, ato
silang naipakasal ug natagaan nato ug marriage contract para ilang magamit pag
lig-on sa ilang kasal, katungod sa ilang mga kabataan nga makabaton ug ngalan
ug nasyonalidad kay pinasikad sa marriage sa ilang ginikanan dili na sila
matawag nga mga ilehitimo kon dili mga legitimate children.”
Matod
ni Danica Migduyan, usa sa mga higaonong gikasal, nagpasalamat siya sa
probinsya og sa suporta ni Gob. Corvera aron mapahigayon ang maong Oplan
Kasalan.
Isip
pahalipay, nagpadangat si Gob. Corvera og P2,000.00 matag magtiayon.
Sa
iyang tambag sa mga bag-ong minyo, si Gob. Corvera nagkanayon nga ang sekreto
nga magdugay ang kaminyoon mao ang pagsinabtanay sa matag-usa, "kung
adunay problema inyung estoryahan sa hinay nga tingog, dili estoryahan sa
siningkahay ug labaw sa tanan ang maka hangtud gyud sa kaminyoon, ipaubos ang
inyung garbo matag usa, mao gyud nay number one nga inyung dumdumon.”
Gawas sa kasalan, nagkadaiyang social ug economic development services usab ang gipadangat sa probinsya sa Agusan del Norte sa maong okasyon. Gibanabana nga mokabat sa 600 ka tawo ang nakapahimulos sa maong mga serbisyo. (Shena Mae Pabia ug Sonny Montilla, LGU Agusan del Norte/PIA Agusan del Norte)
