ni Diamond Year Cupay
BUTUAN CITY, Hunyo 2 (PIA) - Patuloy na maisasagwa ng Philippine Red Cross (PRC) ang makataong misyon dahil sa mga gawain tulad ng "fund raising campaign" na nailunsad kamakailan lamang.
Ang “Dinner for a Cause” ay dinaluhan ng humigit-kumulang 500 katao mula sa lahat ng mga kalagayan sa buhay. Karamihan sa kanila ay mga negosyante, mga empleyado ng gobyerno at mga pribadong indibidwal.
Nagsimula ang programa sa pamamagitan ng isang palabas na nagpaliwanag sa kahalagahan ng nasabing pagtitipon.
Sa kanyang talumpati, binigyang diin ni PRC Board Chair Felixberto Guiritan kung gaano kalaki ang maitutulong sa pagsagip ng buhay ng ibang tao ang P500 meal ticket na binili mula sa PRC.
“Dapat mong ipagmalaki kung ano ang nagawa mo ngayong gabi. Ibig sabihin nito ay determinado kang tumulong sa iba upang sila ay mabuhay,” aniya.
Dagdag pa ni Guiritan na dahil sa kanilang nagawa, sila na ngayon ay itinuturing na hindi lamang tagapagtangkilik ng PRC kundi tagapagtangkilik rin sa ibang tao.
Ang nasabing aktibidad ay simula pa lamang ng serye na fund raising campaign upang matiyak na ang mga serbisyong hatid ng PRC ay patuloy pa ring nakakapagbigay ng benepisyo sa mga mamamayan hindi lamang dito sa rehiyon at sa bansa ngunit pati na rin sa buong mundo.
Ang nasabing aktibidad ay isinagawa sa tulong Agusan del Norte-Butuan City chapter ng PRC. (PIA-Caraga)

Ayon sa FIDA-Caraga Regional Director na si Dir. Deoven Hibaler, isang paraan upang mapabuti ang kalagayan ng industriya sa rehiyon ay sa pamamagitan ng pagpapamahagi sa mga magsasaka ng impormasyon hinggil sa produksyon ng hibla.
Malaki anya ang maitutulong ng iba't-ibang uri ng media dito.
"Sa pamamagitan nito, ang mga magsasaka ay mabibigyan ng impormasyon sa mga pinakabagong pamamaraan sa pag-aalaga at paggawa ng abaka fibers kung saan ang Caraga Region ay kilala bilang isang magandang lugar na pagtataniman ng mga puno ng abaka," sabi ni Dir. Hibaler.
Sinabi din ng opisyal na ang FIDA-Caraga ay magbibigay ng mga pagsasanay sa fiber production.
"Naniniwala kami na ang dalawang panukalang ito ng FIDA-Caraga ay makakatulong na mapabuti ang industriya ng hibla ng rehiyon," aniya. "Gagawin namin ang lahat ng aming makakaya, mapatupad lamang ito."
Ang Caraga region ay namamahagi ng limang (5) poryento sa pambansang produksyon ng abaka at nag-susuplay din ng mga abaka bilang hilaw na materyales para sa "pulp production," "specialty papermaking," "cordage production," at "handicrafts" sa Cagayan de Oro City, Davao, at Bicol Region.
Ang rehiyon ay may 3,439 "abaca-producers" na ang sakahan ay umaabot lamang sa laki na 1.0-3.5 ektarya. Ang rehiyon ng Caraga ay may 44 lisensiyadong mangangalakal ng abaka at apat na fibercraft makers. Ang industriyang ito ay may kabuuang 27,448 na mga manggagawa. Ang "direct dependents" ay sumasaklaw sa mga magsasaka ng abaka, classifiers / sorters, mga tagagawa, mga negosyante, mga exporters at mga daan-daang mga tagapag-proseso ng mga bagay na gawa sa hibla.
