SK Federated President Jane Censoria Cajes

TAGBILARAN CITY - Twenty-six young Boholanos are now qualified to be part of the Samahang Kabataan Volunteers Club (SKVC), the extending arm of the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Bohol Federation.

According to John Torralba, the SK chief of staff, this year, 26 volunteers passed the interview and screening.

They are: Mary Grace Ramada, Jerranica Anna Cespon, Rafael Kit Solis, Glaiza Marie Lapez, Mary Jessamyn Arcales, Ian Orillos, Rachel Ann Pilvera, Janice Jandayan, Jonathan Tocmo, Marc Bruce Villarojo, Margelyn Moncano, Mary Joy Peñaranda, Dexter Borbanu, Marie Louise Oppus, Ronald Boniao, Carlo Jay Palma, Neil Bien Golosino, Maria Eulaica Raya, Ellagere Vale Daquio, Angeline Baldapan, Daisy Balangkig, Ma. Melody Nistal, Madelyn Maninantan, Mariam Daisy Rosales, Ma. Ariene Daling and Jaype Piquero.

Most of the volunteers are student and church leaders and community volunteers.
They will undergo trainings and seminars to enhance their leadership skills and their hearts.

In this fast-paced world, it’s surprising there’s time for them to attend classes, do homework, take part in extracurricular activities, yet despite busy schedules, many young people are concerned about what’s going on in their neighborhoods and communities, and are looking for ways to get involved.

“I am happy to learn that there are still youth who are giving their best without expecting something in return. The many acts of selflessness here would ensure that the spirit of volunteerism is not lost,” SK national president Jane Censoria Cajes said.

The first batch of SK volunteers who called themselves “Bolahan” were accepted in September 2008.

Christmas is a message of hope, Herrera says
December 28, 2008

TAGBILARAN CITY - Vice Gov. Julius Caesar Herrera said people should be reminded that Christmas is a message of hope.

The vice governor issued this statement as the entire Christian world is approaching another observance of what he called “the birthday of Lord Jesus Christ.”

“This is perhaps the most favorite event to Christians because it is celebrated with joy and feasting,” he said.

Herrera however noted that in recent years the observance has lost some of its glitter.

He said people blame this on the worsening economic crisis that has deprived them of the usual trappings they equate with Christmas.

“That should not be the case,” the vice governor said. Herrera said people especially Christians should remember that the message of Christmas is the message of hope.

“Jesus Christ came to earth to deliver God’s message that He desires to restore His lost creation,” he noted.

The vice governor said people should realize that “there is not much difference with the first Christmas”.

“Then and now, we see conflict, crisis, suffering and exploitation,” Herrera pointed out.

Failure to give 20% discount, businesses may face lawsuits
December 28, 2008

TAGBILARAN CITY - IT has been an age-long dilemma face by senior citizens in the country.
But now, senior citizens found an ally in the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) in their quest for privileges given to them by law.
The provincial board passed Resolution No. 2008-575, urging all establishments particularly drug stores to implement the 20% discount privilege to all senior citizens under the Senior Citizens Act without time limit.
Drugstores and business establishments here are warned.
If they fail to give 20% discount to legitimate senior citizens in Bohol, they will likely be slapped with lawsuits.
“We will be preparing cases against these establishments which do not give the 20%,” board member Atty. Aster Apalisok-Piollo told her colleagues in the SP during its recent regular session presided over by Vice-Gov. Julius Caesar Herrera.
The warning came in the wake of the growing infringement of the “Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2003 or Republic Act No. 9257,” that penalizes violators (section 10) with PhP100,000 fine, but not exceeding P200,000 “and imprisonment of not less than six months but not more than two years.”
 

Herrera declines to comment on Cesar
December 28, 2008

TAGBILARAN CITY - VICE Gov. Julius Caesar Herrera yesterday declined to comment on the possible entry of actor Cesar Montano into the gubernatorial derby.

“There is nothing to comment on,” he replied when asked about Montano’s noted visibility during the Baclayon fiesta activities.

The actor, who made an unsuccessful senatorial bid in last year’s election, has been widely rumored to be casting a moist eye on the governorship in the 2010 polls.

With Gov. Erico Aumentado no longer eligible for reelection, Herrera has loomed as the obvious candidate along with the two graduating solons, Representatives Edgar Chatto and Roberto Cajes.

Montano however has been doing the rounds in recent months, fuelling speculations that he is also interested in the gubernatorial post.

Sought for comment on the possibility of Montano’s entry into the derby, Herrera said no one has a monopoly of good intentions.

“To aspire for public office is the right that all citizens are entitled to,” he added. The vice-governor said that if Montano will indeed throw his hat into the political ring, it will make the derby more exciting.
 

Herrera still mum on his 2010 plans
December 28, 2008

TAGBILARAN CITY - A WEEK after coming short of declaring his gubernatorial bid in 2010, Vice Gov. Julius Caesar Herrera played coy when asked about his plans for 2010.

“There is a time for that,” the vice governor responded when asked to comment on his next political battle.

Herrera is serving the last of his three terms as vice governor and speculations are rife that he would move up the ladder to the post to be vacated by Gov. Erico Aumentado.

“People who have no public accountabilities have the luxury to talk about their political plans, one thing I don’t have,” he disclosed.

Talk about his gubernatorial aspirations grew stronger as Herrera moved around the province during the advent season.

“I don’t have the choice. If people don’t see me personally, they will say I’m good only during the campaign. If I go around, they say I am campaigning,” he noted.

Herrera said there is nothing new about his trips to the towns because he does it as often as he can.
 

SP nods to P147M loan for new heavy equipment
December 28, 2008

TAGBILARAN CITY - The provincial government of Bohol will soon acquire a new fleet of brand new heavy equipment to replace the aging ones following the approval last Tuesday by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of an appropriation of PhP147,460,000 through a Hold Out loan with the Land Bank of the Philippines.

To materialize this, the provincial board passed a Resolution authorizing Gov. Erico B. Aumentado to represent the province and enter into a Hold Out Loan Agreement with the said bank relative to the acquisition and purchase of the equipment.

The SP presided over by Vice-Gov. Julius Caesar Herrera also passed a third measure creating a trust fund or “special account” with the provincial treasurer’s office.

The approval was reported by the Appropriations Committee chaired by Herrera during the regular session on Dec. 16, 2008 at Bohol Tropics Resort Club in this city.
 

Surveillance camera in all banks compulsory?
December 28, 2008

TAGBILARAN CITY - Security camera system in all banks, malls, why not? The Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Bohol is poised to enact an Ordinance requiring all banks or financial institutions, including malls or commercial firms, in the province especially in the city to invest and install close circuit television (CCTV) and electronic alarm system.

The provincial board appeared persuaded after the Philippine National Police of Bohol led by provincial director P/Sr Supt Edgardo C. Ingking made an explanation about the security system during its pre-session last week.

Ingking said in the SP’s Peace and Order committee report that CCTV is based on Memorandum Circular No. 620, series of 2008, “Revised Rules and Regulations on Banks Protection” issued by Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.

The said report was signed by board members Ma. Fe Camacho-Lejos, committee chairperson; Cesar Tomas Lopez, peace and order member; Alfonso Damalerio II, vice-chair trade/industry committee vice-chair; and Ester Corazon Galbreath, trade and industry member.
 

SP prohibits display, possession of tarsier
December 28, 2008

TAGBILARAN CITY - The Sangguniang Panlalawigan has finally realized that protection and preservation of the endangered Philippine tarsier (tarsius syrichta) in Bohol is of overriding importance as it approved last week twin measures including an Ordinance prohibiting the display and possession of what is considered as the smallest primate.

The other is the Resolution urging the DENR “to stop the issuance of wildlife farm permits, special permits and any other permits allowing the possession, display for viewing for commercial or business use, or any other purposes” of the tarsier.

The joint environment-tourism committee report rendered by board member Alfonso Damalerio II and approved by the SP body also recommended to keep a “centralized” sanctuary for tarsier conservation program in Corella town.

The approval of the measure was triggered following the proliferation of the possession of and display of the tarsiers for a fee from tourists who want to have a glimpse of the primate.

Officer-in-charge Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer (Penro) Nestor Canda assured that Environment Secretary Lito Atienza, who visited here thrice already, vowed to fully support whatever the provincial government would like to do on the tarsier.
 

EVAT power subsidy now up for BOHECO consumers
By: Rey Anthony Chiu
December 21, 2008

TAGBILARAN CITY - In time for Christmas, the government gives a gift that may go a long way for lifeline power consumers, including Boholanos through the Katas ng VAT.

The gift comes in the form of P500 government power subsidy for lifeline consumers who are good payors, Bohol Electric Cooperative Assistant general manager Engr. Virgilio Fortich explained over the weekly Kapihan sa PIA Thursday.

The Kapihan discussed concerns on the government power subsidy and invited BOHECO and Bohol Light Company Inc. to elucidate on Pantawid Koryente: Katas ng EVAT, a topic that concerns lifeline power consumers.

By lifeline, the government means residential consumers whose power consumption last May was below 100.

The government decided to hand down the subsidy to help dampen the impact of high oil prices that cause disastrous volatility in prices of basic commodities, including power consumers.

With BOHECO as partner in the government program, the Bohol power provider would effect the power subsidy in December, or at a time when people are expected to be consuming and thus paying more.

The peak usage of power would be in December where people put in additional consumption with the Christmas lights.

But the subsidy, according to Engr. Fortich would not be transferable, non-convertible to cash and would only be creditable to the monthly billings beginning December until the whole amount is used up.

Of the P500 subsidy, he means that if a consumer uses up only about 20 kilowatts per month, the subsidy would be stretched until the whole amount is credited and is left with a no-balance.

In that case, if a consumer qualifies to avail, and if by December his billing is more than P500, he would only pay the balance.

And in other case, if the December billing consumption is only about P100, then the consumer can still stretch his subsidy until he uses up the whole amount.

Over this, BOHECO institutional services department manager Ernesto Mascarinas reiterated the call for consumers to go to the nearest Boheco collection station to get their credit memos.

The credit memo allows consumers to know if the qualify to the program or not.

Pagputol sa ilegal nga koneksyon sa drainage dili tukmang sulbad sa polusyon
Desyembre 21, 2008

TAGBILARAN CITY - MIDUMILI paghatag sa ilang komentaryo ang Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer kalabot sa kontaminasyon sa tubig nunot ning pagputol sa ilegal nga koneksyon apan ianam-anam ang pagpabuhagay sa tubig didto sa dagat panahon lamang sa ting-ulan.

Si PENRO Nestor Canda nagkanayon nga mga illegal nga connection ang gilantaw sa DENR, agig tubag sa pangutana ni Atty. Salvador Deputado atol sa gihimong governors report kaniadtong Byernes.

Si Deputado mipadayag sa iyang pangutana kabahin sa kahimtang sa mga connection nga karon hingpit nang giputol sa DENR nga matud pa adunay mga kabalaka nga kon ianam-anam pag pagbuhagay ang mga tubig gikan sa gisira nga connection sa panahon nga kini pagaabrihan panahon sa ting-ulan, dili ba mas dako ang kontaminasyon kay kini napondo naman sa dugay nga panahon ug kon maayo ba usab nga anam-anam na lang kini ug pabuhagay ngadto sa dagat.

Subay sa maong pangutana mipadayag usab si Canda nga usa kini sa ilang gilantaw nga sitwasyon apan ang DENR dili una mo komentaryo niini sa pagkakaron ila una nga humanon ang pagsira sa mga illegal nga mga connection.

Dugang pa ni Canda nga karong simanaha hingpit na nga mahuman ang gihimo nila nga pagpangsira sa mga illegal nga connection sa ingon dili na kini makahatag pa og dugang kontaminasyon sa kadagatan sa Tagbilaran Bay ug ngadto usab sa kasilinganan nga lungsod.
