ANG atong maayong binuhatan dili makaluwas kanato, walay bisan isa ka kalag nga makalangit tungod kay buotan siya. Subo man ug sakit paminawon sa mga buotan nga mga tawo, apan ang kamatuoran anaa sa Pulong sa Dios. Unsa man ang gisulti sa Biblia mahitungod sa atong mga maayong binuhatan?

“Kay kita’ng tanan nahimo’ng sama sa isa mga mahugaw, ug ang ato’ng tanan mga maayong binuhatan sama sa usa ka trapo nga mahugaw .” (Isaias 64:6)

“Dili sa mga maayo’ng binuhatan nga ato’ng nabuhat, apan tungod sa iyang kaluoy kita Iyang giluwas…” (Tito 3:5)

“Kay Wala nay lain’ng NGALAN nga gihatag ubos sa langit dinhi ibabaw sa kalibotan nga kita malu-was ( malangit ) .” (Mga Buhat 4:12)

Like growth and development. Can there be growth without development? It’s happening, according to economists in the NEDA. It’s hard to understand the language used to explain this phenomenon. It means there’s a little more money in the pockets of wage earner; there’s plenty of dough in the hands of the bank and those doing business selling goods and service, and there’s travel-ling around for sights and sounds, and other consum-eristics ( the gymnastics of spending). But, and there’s the big BUT--there’s no capital in-vestment visible for miles, like new industries, no fac-tories, no export of finished goods, no infrastructure support to agri-fisheries. In short, there’s no visible signs of change above ground on many economic activities. Sounds like there’s dead investment, but many people

Problema sa bandalismoAw

diay!

Ruel V. Pelone

DILI gayud tiaw ang kadaut ug perwisyo niadtong mga tag-iya sa mga gambalay ug sakyanan tungod sa problem sa walay kasulbaran nga ban-dalismo dinhi sa Cagayan de Oro ug Misamis Oriental.

Dili gayud tiaw kini nga problema kay pananglitan mopalit ka og sakyanan unya adunay marka nga 4 x 4. Imong giparada, pagbalik nimo ang imong 4 x 4 naa nay 4 x 4 = 8 unya kay sayop man naingon ani ang bandal: 4 x 4 = 8 = 16.

Usa ka gamay nga garas apan dugang gasto unya al-ang niadtong mga tag-iya sa sakyanan.

Ang mga bag-ong pintal nga gambalay daghan kaayo og bandal nga dili pud nimo masabtan kung tawo ba ang nagsulat o “alien.”

Maayo na lang ning uban kay ang ila mang lawas ang ilang gibandalan. Okay na kay wala man silay naperwisyo

nga laing tawo.Nalipay ako sa dihang

akong nabasahan ang balita nga ang komitiba sa police and public safety nagtagbo aron hisgutan ang problema sa bandalismo sa dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro.

Ambot kung ang Misamis Oriental aduna bay lakang mahitungod sa maong prob-lema kay hilom man.

Ang komitiba sa City Council miingon nga sila adunay plano nga mohimo og Task Force Anti-Vandalism aron mapakusgan pa ang kampanya sa bandalismo. Aw diay!

Apan unsa bay pakusgan nga wala na may balita kung unsay nahitabo human sa maong “PR” as in press release sa City Council. Hahay!

Angaya gyud unta nga hatagan sa mga opisyales sa dakbayan ang bandalismo kay hugaw kaayo tan-awon ang dakbayan.

Ang mas labaw nga naka-hatag sa kahugaw mao kanang mga gipikit sa poste nga mga pulyito (leaflet).

Tan-awa gani ninyo kanang naa gipangpikit diha sa mga poste sa kuryente sa Cepalong, makita nimo ang nagkalaing-laing pulyito.

adunay nangita og yaya, nars, drayber, part time kunohay nga trabaho ug uban pa.

Ang nakapait kay dili kita kasiguro nga tinud-anay ang maong hiring kay dili man kini regulated sa dakbayan.

Amboy kung duna bay balaod bahin niining pag-pamikit og mga pulyito diha sa poste sa kuryente ug bisan asang lugar--mapader man o ma koral sa mga kabalayan.

Mosamot kini nga prob-lema kay daghan na pud nga politiko ang mopikit sa ilang mga dagway diha sa poste, pader, o bisan sa basurahan.

Angayan gyud nga mag-patuman og estriktong balaod bahin niini nga problema kung gusto nato nga malim-pyohan ang atong kadalanan.

Angayan nga idili gayud ang pagpamikit sa bisan un-sang matang sa pahibalo diha sa mga poste, pader ug drum sa basurahan. Pangutana. Aduna bay makadakop?

stood at PhP34.26 mil-lion, with PhP5.98 million going to pre-operating ex-penses, PhP8.28 million for capital expenditures (CAPEX) and PhP20 million for consultancy services.

T h e E R C g r a n t e d PEMC’s proposed budget, except the PhP20 million for consultancy services, which it reduced by half, pending submission of the supporting documents to justify this expenditure, he explained.

The approved amount will be refunded to the Lu-zon and Visayas WESM participants from whom the 2012 market fees were collected once the IMEM starts commercial opera-tions, based on a refund mechanism to be finalized later.

Mr. San Juan added, since the amount will be taken from the excess col-lections of the previously-approved 2012 market fees, no additional imposition will be levied on the Lu-zon and Visayas WESM participants.

The IMEM is being undertaken pursuant to Department Circular No. 2013- 0001 of the Depart-ment of Energy to address the power supply situation in Mindanao.

It is envisioned to pro-vide an opportunity for generators and other entities with excess or unutilized generation capacities, to offer or make use of such generation capacities, sub-ject to compensation based on the resulting market prices, he stated.

The establishment of IMEM recently became the subject of several newspaper articles wherein the ERC was faulted for delaying its action on PEMC’s ap-plication, which was filed only on January 21, 2013. “Considering that, as pre-scribed in the Implement-ing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 9136, the ERC can act on PEMC’s application only after 30 days, the ERC’s approval that was made a few days

Since childhood, i always look up to the TeAcHeRS as ROLe MODeL of the chil-dren and view them with utmost respect considering that TeAcHinG is supposed to be a very DecenT and RePUTABLe occupation. This might be the prevalent factor which urged Men-TORS to earn a degree in eDUcATiOn. The reason that i became one of the most highly regarded professionals of the society today. During the early centuries of the Philippine education, the methodologies used are centered on KnOWLeDGe and SKiLLS handed down to the learners from genera-tions to generations. it is chiefly focused basically on the fundamentals of ReADinG and WRiTinG. Later on, the

educators find it necessary to inculcate VALUeS to the pupils to ensure TOTAL HU-MAn DeVeLOPMenT of the Filipino children. VALUeS as well as cURRenT eVenTS were then included in the curriculum. The recent plight of Philip-pine educators is, however, so frustrating. We went through an eRA when the youth lost interest in taking up Bach-elor’s Degree in education for the degrading character of TeAcHeRS allegedly involved in unpaid LOAnS, engaged with side line business inside the classrooms and most of all, charged with corruption for collecting unnecessary fees from the students. This is explicable since the efforts of our mentors were poorly compensated. Moreover, the

community expects so much from them and matches them up to the economic status of other professionals in the community. conversely, the TUTORS recapture their repute nowa-days. With the latest innOVA-TiOnS implemented by the Department of education, the discharge of ALTeRnA-TiVe LeARninG SYSTeM to foster adult literacy, the opportunities offered to the inDiGenOUS PeOPLe to ac-quire knowledge and wisdom just as any other sectors of the society and the K to 12 Program adapted by the gov-ernment, the TeAcHeRS of today recapture their distinc-tive status in the community. To the ROLe MODeL of the Filipino Youth… con-gratulations and Thank You!

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY—The Filinvest Development Corp. Utili-ties, Inc. (FDCUI) will be investing P30 billion to the energy sector in Mindanao by putting up its own 405-MegaWatt circulating fluidized bed (CFB) coal-fired thermal power plant in an 84-hectare area within the Phividec Industrial Estate in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental. The plant, which will be in operation for the next 25 years, will source 80 percent of its coal requirement abroad and 20% from local coal mines, said Ana Margarita “Miren” Sanchez, FD-CUI corporate communications manager. Sanchez said that while FDCUI strongly believes in renewable sources of energy, it chose to invest in a coal-fired power plant “despite the many challenges from many groups” because (1) coal-fired power plant has short construction period; (2) it is the most feasible at present; and (3) coal is readily available. “We cannot rely for a long time on fossil fuels. We should use renewable energy where there is available. But we should take advantage of what is available now, and that is coal. In the Philippines, technology to harness renewable sources of energy is still financially prohibitive and we cannot wait any longer to address the energy crisis in our country, especially here in Mindanao,” she said. As of 2012, Mindanao had an energy shortfall of 92 MegaWatts, which is projected to increase to a shortfall of 121 MW by 2016 “even with committed utilities on board.” The Misamis Oriental 3x135 MW CFB Coal-Fired Thermal Power Project, to be set up by FDCUI and FDC Misamis Power Corp., will be using the Rankine Cycle Thermal Plant with CFB combustion technology boiler for a more efficient use of coal. The advantages of using CFB compared to the traditional coal-fired power plant like Steag’s is that CFB “doesn’t have to operate on very high temperature of 800 to 850 degrees to generate electricity.” “High heat generates elements that can contribute to acid rain,” Sanchez said. Also, the plant’s boiler is de-signed to allow limestone to be injected to capture sulphur and convert this into calcium sulphate. “The system also effectively captures sulphur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) at 95% efficiency rate, aside from eliminating fugitive coal dust,” she added. Sanchez explained that the rankine cycle system was chosen because FDCUI is committed to protecting the integrity of the environment. In the Rankine cycle system, also known as Rankine ther-modynamic cycle, the steam is produced by the boiler, where water pumped into the boiler (“feedwater”) passes through a series of tubes to capture heat released by coal combustion and then boils under high pressure to become superheated steam. The superheated steam leaving the boiler then enters the steam tur-bine throttle, where it powers the turbine and connected generator to make electricity. After the steam expands through the turbine, it

fdCUi to invest P30-B in energy sector in MisOrexits the back end of the turbine into the surface condenser, where it is cooled and condensed back to water. This condensate is then returned to the boiler through high-pressure feed pumps for reuse. Heat from the condens-ing steam is normally rejected to cooling water circulated through the condenser which then goes to a surface water body, such as a river, or to an on-site cooling tower. “As a plant, it will certainly generate CO2 and we don’t want to add to the CO2 in the atmo-sphere,” she stressed, adding that the system uses the “clean coal

technology.” “Clean coal technology is proven worldwide as safe and efficient,” she explained while showing pictures of CFB coal-fired power plant sitting right next to shopping malls in Taiwan and other places. The first and second units of the plant are scheduled to start operation in 2016 while the third unit is scheduled in 2018. As of press time, FDC Misamis Power Corp./FDCUI is in the pro-cess of finalizing electricity power purchase agreements (EPPAs) with several Mindanao electric cooperatives. (Bong D. Fabe)
