OZAMIZ CITY, Misamis
Occidental, July 4 (PIA) -- The Department of Education (DepEd) revised the
guidelines on voluntary contributions it issued on the opening of classes for

NFA ensures food security through Ugnayan
By Ruby Leonora R.
Balistoy
MALAYBALAY CITY,
Bukidnon, July 4 (PIA) -- The National Food Authority (NFA) has strengthened
its coordination in the province to ensure rice self-sufficiency and food
security.
Victoria Real-Duray, provincial manager, said NFA is now focused on increased palay procurement, hands-on training on grains classification, posting of farmers’ kiosks and post-harvest facilities in far-flung areas, conduct of farmers’ forum, help farmers in selling their produce, and intensification of Iron-Fortified Rice (I-Rice) consumption.
“As part of the Department of Agriculture (DA), we are helping small rice farmers sell their harvests on time and at a better price. Selling rice produce at NFA is now easier and faster as we are financially strengthened to procure more,” she said.
Currently, NFA buys local unmilled rice at P17.70 per kilo. Included in the buying price are the cooperative development incentive fee, drying incentive fee, and delivery incentive fee.
However, the food authority is considering a change in some of its palay procurement approaches to ensure that more rice farmers will benefit from it.
These include increasing number of sellable bags to 200 from 100 for walk-in farmers; simplifying requirements for farmers’ passbook issuance; issuing the passbook for free, shouldering expenses for unloading and re-sacking of palay will be by the NFA; and paying deliveries on the same day.
While NFA is mandated to ensure food security through palay procurement, maintenance of buffer stocks, rice distribution to market outlets at strategic locations at appropriate time, it also has regulatory functions such as price monitoring, licensing, and registration of persons or companies engaged in the wholesale, retail, processing, manufacturing, storage, transporting, packaging, importation and exportation of grain food products.

190 more houses to be constructed for Sendong
survivors
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY,
July 3 – Not stopping until all tropical storm Sendong survivors have been
tucked in their own homes.
This was the statement of Mayor Vicente Emano yesterday as he led the blessing and brick-laying for the construction of 190 more houses in a two-hectare lot.
The Cagayan de Oro Mahogany Village at the Cagayan de Oro Resettlement and Socialized Housing Project (CDORSHP) 1 extension, Puli, Canitoan is being implemented by the city government in partnership with the Habitat for Humanity Philippines (HFHP), All Hands Volunteers, San Miguel Corporation (SMC) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The land was donated by Roland Ramos and Roger Tan.
The houses will be funded by SMC and the DSWD while HFHP will be constructing the houses with the volunteer group.
The mayor is expressing gratitude to all those involved in the project, saying this would not have been possible without them. He stressed that their valuable help to the calamity victims will not be forgotten. “You are here not for glory, not for money but to help,” he said.
The mayor also thanked Canitoan barangay chair Joshua Taboclaon for his dedication to serve constituents of Canitoan.
HFHP regional program manager Leonilo Escalada paid tribute to Mayor Emano for leading the way towards the establishment of resettlement sites for calamity victims. He said the projects have been successful because of the leadership of the mayor, the support of Vice Mayor Caesar Ian Acenas and the 16th City Council. He cited that the reconstruction process is successful because of private donors, legislative support, volunteers and the city’s chief executive. With this, Escalada stressed that the HFHP is recommitting itself to this task.
For his part, All Hands Volunteers project manager Chris Turner said as the housing project continues, the list of people to thank also grows longer. According to him, 100 workers and 135 volunteers from the Philippines and other countries have been involved in the project to provide safe and decent housing units. The project has come a long way and with outstanding success, he added.
Efforts of the city government to rebuild Cagayan de Oro after the ruins left by Sendong have not been left unnoticed and unsupported.
Roland Ramos thanked Mayor Emano and city officials for taking the lead in rebuilding the city. He said this has given private companies the opportunity to also extend help to the victims. “With your help, Sendong victims who lost their loved ones and their homes did not lose hope,” he added.

Feature: July 4 marks Araw ng Lanao del Norte
TUBOD, Lanao del Norte,
July 4 (PIA)--The term Lanao is derived from a Maranao word “Ranao” meaning a
body of water. “Maranao” means lake dweller. They are the natives of the place
occupying the land around Lake Lanao, which is situated at the central part of
Lanao del Sur. Lanao, applies to the entire area before its division. When it
was divided into two provinces, the southern portion became Lanao del Sur and
the northern part became Lanao del Norte.
Dansalan, Marawi City’s old name, was explored by the Spaniards as early as 1639. It is said that at that time, Marawi was already the citadel of Malayan-Arabic culture in Mindanao. Feeling the pulse of strong refusal among its inhabitants to adopt Christianity, the Spaniards abandoned the project of colonizing the area. Dansalan, physically speaking, would have satisfactorily qualified to become a town or municipality during the time of said exploration based on the Spanish Policy of “Ecclesiastical Administration” except for one factor - religion.
Attempts were made later by foreigners to capture Lanao but fierce and fanatical resistance of the Maranaos to colonial rule made the planting of Christianity in Dansalan an unlikely outcome.
A strong Spanish expedition to conquer the Maranaos was fielded in 1891 during the time of Governor General Valeriano Wayler, but this force was driven back to Iligan after failing to capture Dansalan. In 1895, Governor General Blanco sent a stronger force to take Marawi. Superior firepower forced the Dansalan defenders to leave the city. Here the conquerors established the garrison that remained until the outbreak of the Spanish – American War in 1898. Spain claimed this event as its victory but the verdict of history revealed that while the Spaniards were able to erect a garrison in Dansalan, they failed to conquer its people who stubbornly refused to adhere to the colonial yoke of Spain. Muslim religion and Maranao culture remained intact and untarnished.
On May 24, 1904, the American Colonial Government proclaimed Dansalan a regular Municipality. The Philippines was still under the Commonwealth regime of the Americans when Dansalan was chartered into a city in 1904. In 1942, the Japanese troops invaded Northern Lanao and established their own garrison. In 1945, following a three year occupation by Japanese forces, troops from the 6th, 101st, 102nd and 108th Infantry Division of the Philippine Commonwealth Army, 10th Infantry Regiment of the Philippine Constabulary and Maranao guerrillas attacked the Japanese garrison in the Battle of Lanao. The guerrillas attacked using traditional Maranao Kampilan, Barong and Kris swords. Eventually, the Japanese were defeated, however Dansalan was not renamed to Marawi City until June 16, 1956.
Republic Act No. 2228 divided Lanao in to two (2) provinces giving birth to Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur. The new province was inaugurated on July 4, 1959 making Iligan City as the capital. The Salvador T. Lluch was the first Governor.

Dansalan, Marawi City’s old name, was explored by the Spaniards as early as 1639. It is said that at that time, Marawi was already the citadel of Malayan-Arabic culture in Mindanao. Feeling the pulse of strong refusal among its inhabitants to adopt Christianity, the Spaniards abandoned the project of colonizing the area. Dansalan, physically speaking, would have satisfactorily qualified to become a town or municipality during the time of said exploration based on the Spanish Policy of “Ecclesiastical Administration” except for one factor - religion.
Attempts were made later by foreigners to capture Lanao but fierce and fanatical resistance of the Maranaos to colonial rule made the planting of Christianity in Dansalan an unlikely outcome.
A strong Spanish expedition to conquer the Maranaos was fielded in 1891 during the time of Governor General Valeriano Wayler, but this force was driven back to Iligan after failing to capture Dansalan. In 1895, Governor General Blanco sent a stronger force to take Marawi. Superior firepower forced the Dansalan defenders to leave the city. Here the conquerors established the garrison that remained until the outbreak of the Spanish – American War in 1898. Spain claimed this event as its victory but the verdict of history revealed that while the Spaniards were able to erect a garrison in Dansalan, they failed to conquer its people who stubbornly refused to adhere to the colonial yoke of Spain. Muslim religion and Maranao culture remained intact and untarnished.
On May 24, 1904, the American Colonial Government proclaimed Dansalan a regular Municipality. The Philippines was still under the Commonwealth regime of the Americans when Dansalan was chartered into a city in 1904. In 1942, the Japanese troops invaded Northern Lanao and established their own garrison. In 1945, following a three year occupation by Japanese forces, troops from the 6th, 101st, 102nd and 108th Infantry Division of the Philippine Commonwealth Army, 10th Infantry Regiment of the Philippine Constabulary and Maranao guerrillas attacked the Japanese garrison in the Battle of Lanao. The guerrillas attacked using traditional Maranao Kampilan, Barong and Kris swords. Eventually, the Japanese were defeated, however Dansalan was not renamed to Marawi City until June 16, 1956.
