CAGAYAN
DE ORO CITY, November 21, 2012 (PIA) - The Environment and Management Bureau
(EMB) conducted on Wednesday a public hearing for the water classification of
Macajalar Bay in Misamis Oriental.

activity is a way of getting comments and consensus of the stakeholders on
their preferred classification based on the revised water criteria under DENR
Administrative Order No. 34 (DAO 34).
EMB 10
director Sabdullah C. Abubacar stressed during the said forum that there the
two basic considerations for the process-one is based on its beneficial use and
the other on its water quality.
He
however noted that analytical results of the water quality is only secondary
and is only made to confirm the classification.
The EMB
together with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) have already
completed the necessary field survey in which they were able to conduct a
three-year series water sampling activity, scheduled twice in a year to cover
both the dry and wet season.
The
sampling stations were distributed in all fourteen (14) towns covering the 65
kilometer stretch of the Macajalar Bay coastline from La Esperanza in
Kinoguitan town to Laguindingan.
Engr.
Marivic F. Lluisima, chief of the EMB 10 laboratory section said in an
interview with the Philippine Information Agency that the towns will either be
classified as class “SB” and “SC,” depending on the water sampling results
generated, in consideration also to its best usage.
“SB”
classification is good for Recreational Water Class 1 (Areas regularly used by
the public for bathing, swimming, skin diving, etc.) and fishery Water Class 1
(Spawning areas for chanos chanos or bangus and similar species.
While
class “SC” is categorized for Recreational Water Class II (e.g. boating, etc),
Fishery Water Class II (commercial and sustenance fishing) and Marshy and/or
mangrove areas declared as fish and wildlife sanctuaries.
The
sampling results, she said, will also serve a basis of action on the part of
the local government units in drafting their plans and policies.
EMB
likewise reminded the LGUs to harmonize its entire comprehensive and coastal
resource management plan with its water classification.
The EMB
is now consolidating the data gathered for the final water classification
report which will be transmitted to the EMB central for national publication.
LGUs who
may wish to submit their position paper or a resolution, may do so, before the
December 30, 2012 deadline. (JCV/PIA 10)
New Bukidnon PNP chief vows to prioritize law enforcement, peacekeeping campaign
By Ruby Leonora R. Balistoy
MALAYBALAY CITY, Bukidnon, Nov 22 (PIA) -- The
newly-installed provincial director of Philippine National Police-Bukidnon
Police Provincial Office (PNP-BPPO) based in Camp Ramon Onahon, here, vowed to
focus on law enforcement and peace-keeping campaign to maintain law and order
in the province.
PSSupt Orlando A. Beñas, who assumed post as provincial director of PNP-BPPO, vowed punitive measures against police officers found to have committed violations.
“As a law enforcement agency, we are bound to obey orders. We are responsible for insuring obedience to the laws. Hence, as models, we have duties to ensure strict adherence to established PNP codes of conduct,” he said.
The statement came amid widespread common perception that illegal drugs and illegal gambling in the country proliferate because police officials were receiving “protection money” from the syndicates.
“I could not compromise my profession in receiving payoffs from illegal gambling operators or illegal drug manufacturers and producers just to protect them,” he said.
Beñas emphasized he will not tolerate corrupt law enforcers, if ever they exist.
He pointed out that through police community relations, the PNP accepts—and even encourages—information on corrupt police officials in the province.
Beñas asked the public, the faith-based organizations and all sectors of society in the community for their continued support and prayers so they can be ‘transformed into men and women of integrity who could prevent crimes and bring offenders to justice. (RLRB-PIA10, Bukidnon)

Feature : PASKOhan sa Kapatagan 2012: Showcasing indigenous-inspired Christmas lanterns
By Lorry V. Gabule
Christmas spirit is up in the air and part of the
Filipino culture is the hanging of lanterns to signify that Christmas is fast
approaching along with the cold breeze.
The Kapatagan town of Lanao del Norte province will celebrate Christmas this time with something unique – an activity dubbed "PASKOhan sa Kapatagan 2012."
It will showcase different lantern designs made from indigenous materials in each of the 33 barangays. This explains why celebrating Christmas in this town need not be expensive but environmental-friendly as well.
The local government is working hand in hand with the community in the campaign for proper garbage and plastics disposal, which is a priority. The use of indigenous materials for the lanterns would be aligned with this campaign, as lanterns will now be properly disposed of after the Christmas season.
Rice husks, leaves, coconut and corn parts are just a few examples of the materials that can be used to design lanterns with a creative touch. Unlike plastics and other non-biodegradable materials, lanterns made from indigenous materials when hanged will not cause health hazards.
Another cause for worry that has to be addressed is the threat of fire from various Christmas decors.
And who says Christmas is not felt in rural areas? Definitely, the town’s lanterns represent Christmas season. People from each barangay who create these works of art in an inexpensive way would be proud of their accomplishment. Instead of buying lanterns amounting to thousands of pesos would now have local lanterns at a cheap cost for a change.
These creations will provide an opportunity as a source of livelihood. Spectators are now flocking to the Kapatagan Municipal Hall to witness various artworks and they can place orders right there and then and bring home lanterns for display in their homes.
The local government unit is now seeing an option in coordinating with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for this new opportunity to build a cottage industry out of it.
Lampakanay or cat's tail is a wild sea grass abundant in the coastal areas of Kapatagan, particularly Barangays Lapinig and Margos. They are now using this material in their lanterns.
Kapatagan has been exporting ropes and waste baskets made from lampakanay since last year. In these disaster-stricken barangays, lampakanay has provided value added to the lantern products as a livelihood project. This provides bigger income to the people in the community who now have another source of income aside from being farmers and fishermen.
The official launching of PASKOhan and first judging of the lantern contest are scheduled for December 2 during the celebration of the town's Kahumayan Festival Street Dancing competition. Criteria in the lantern contest include the use of indigenous materials, ingenuity, creativity and artistry, and the lantern's overall look and feel.
Initiated by Mayor Benjie Baguio and Vice Mayor Perlito Gonzaga, with the support of the Association of Barangay Captains through ABC president Barry Baguio, the lantern contest is not simply about celebrating Christmas in this town but also paves the way in making Kapatagan the indigenous-inspired Christmas lantern capital in the tourism map through its Community-based Rural Tourism approach initiative.
