Giant female croc captured, mate still astray
by David M. Suyao
AGUSAN DEL SUR, Sept. 5 (PIA) -- A giant female crocodile was captured by a team of crocodile hunters led by Bunawan Mayor Edwin Elorde at around 11:00 P.M. Saturday in Barangay New Era, Bunawan, Agusan del Sur. Three weeks ago, the crocodile attacked a three-year old carabao in the same barangay.
According to crocodile hunters from Palawan Wildlife Sanctuary, the captured female crocodile in Bunawan is the largest they ever saw and captured in the country. It measured three and a half feet wide and 20 feet long.
Mayor Elorde said the crocodile has already responded to their prey twice, but was not captured because their paraphernalia were broken because of the animal's strength. Proofs are the remains of the baits and the paraphernalia still present in the mouth of the crocodile when it was captured.
Residents of Barangay Nueva Era in the the large Agusan Marsh believe there are undetermined number of crocodiles in the area. And because what was captured was a female crocodile, they believed a much bigger crocodile may attack soon.
Residents in Barangay Nueva Era were shocked witnessing with their bare eyes, a crocodile, who, according to them the back-width is measuring not less than three feet, with an estimated length of 12 feet, dragging a young carabao victim in the river, snapping its wide mouth with strong and sharp fangs every now and then at the neck of its prey. With everyone on their shock mode, no dare stop the monster, whose prey, the young carabao that it dragged, was blocked by the foot bridge that crosses the river. Almost exhausted, the crocodile submerge, leaving the carabao floating at the edge of the bridge. Still no one dare go near for fear that all of the sudden, the monster will again appear, and kill anyone near. From then on, residents were prohibited to go fishing, washing their clothes or to stay close to the river.
A month ago, a resident of Nueva Era named Daniel Auxtero, 56 years old disappeared while fishing on the river. The following morning, only his boat, saddle and hat were seen by the searching neighbors and barangay officials.

Included as well are the planned daily regional presentations on the best cultural & tourism facets of the island, including craft demonstration, fashion shows, other promotional events as well as seminars on agriculture-aquaculture, trade, investments, and tourism.
The activity accordingly also hopes to help position Mindanao in a different perspective i.e. “as an island that is modern but deep in its cultural richness, a paradise for those who seek the pleasure of ecological balance and a destination for those who are looking for business potentials in agriculture-aquaculture, trade, investment and tourism amidst the splendor of a natural environment.”

“JYESKontraDroga” launched in Surigao del Sur
by Ernie Y. Gultiano
SURIGAO DEL SUR, September 5 -- The Provincial Anti-Drug Abuse Council (PADAC) of Surigao del Sur recently launched the “JYES Kontra Droga” campaign to fight the proliferation of illegal drugs.
With the theme, “Get Involved, Act Now!” the activity was graced by Usec. Jose Gutierrez, Jr., the Director General of PDEA, and Ms. Alma Concepcion, beauty queen and actress as guest speakers of the occasion. It was also participated in by Mayors, Vice Mayors, Punong Barangays, SK Federated Presidents, Students, National and Local Government Agencies, and Non-Government Organizations in the province.
“This activity signals our fight against illegal drugs in the Province of Surigao del Sur,” said Vicente H. Pimentel III, the Vice Chair of PADAC. The government, he added, is serious in its campaign to address the core of the problem and eventually make Surigao del Sur a drug-free province.
The PADAC is chaired by Governor Johnny T. Pimentel.
The “JYES Kontra Droga” aims to implement its 10 (JYES) point agenda against drug abuse. They are as follows: (1) To establish a Covenant with all sectors; (2) To strengthen Anti-Drug Abuse Councils; (3) To intensify Information Education Campaign on “KontraDroga”; (4) To adapt a Moral Recovery Program; (5) To institutionalize Sports Development Program for the youth; (6) to establish a Rehabilitation Program for drug dependents; (7) to provide Skills Development andLivelihood Programs; (8) to provide regular Support to the Law Enforcement Units on anti-illegal drugs operations and PADAC activities; (9) to advocate a Healthy Lifestyle; and (10) to lead a Drug-Free Surigao del Sur.
In her testimony, Ms. Concepcion addressed the youth and their parents. “It is easy to say NO TO DRUGS… but have we looked really into the root cause of the problem? It is the lack of attention, the lack of love that pushes one to resort to drugs,” remarked Concepcion. She boldly shared her experiences and conveyed the evil that drugs have brought into her life.
Concepcion was arrested in 1998 in Guam for alleged drug possession. But “what happened has opened my eyes and taught me a lot of lessons in life,” she declared.
Meanwhile, Governor Pimentel urged everyone to act against the cases of drug abuse in the province. “At first I don’t believe that illegal drugs have penetrated the Province of Surigao del Sur. But with the consecutive apprehensions made in the different parts of the province, I realize the menace that it may cause to the constituency.”
It shall be noted that Surigao del Sur has several reported drug apprehensions for the past couple of months. Certain amount of shabu was confiscated in Barobo and in Barangay Union, Madrid; while the same was also seized in Tago, recently.
Governor Pimentel also emphasized the need for a concerted effort and called for the participation of everyone, public and private sectors alike. “I as your governor, we as your local officials, the PDEA, the PNP cannot do this by ourselves alone. Thus, we need your support!” He encouraged all the Mayors and Punong Barangays to activate their Anti-Drug Abuse Councils in their respective areas, and enjoined the community to be vigilant. “We are doing this not for ourselves, but for the next generation to come… for our children,” he exclaimed.
On the other hand, Usec. Gutierrez lauded the PADAC of Surigao del Sur for its serious and well-coordinated action against illegal drugs. In his message he said, “Today, PDEA has just won an ally in its pursuit to eliminate drug abuse in the country.”
As one of the program’s highlights, a Covenant was signed by all local officials, participating agencies, and others present during the event. It was followed shortly by a symbolic boodle fight, signifying the solidarity of everyone in the crusade against drug abuse.
The activity concluded with a series of competition participated in by all SK chairmen in the province. (DILG-SdS/PIA-Caraga)

Business opportunities from bamboo discussed in forum
by Freedcarmariam D. Gonzaga
BUTUAN CITY, Sept. 5 (PIA) -- A forum to discuss various business opportunities in the bamboo industry was recently conducted for farmers, furniture makers and other entrepreneurs.
The one-day Bamboo Business Opportunities Forum attended by 70 stakeholders was organized by DTI Caraga in partnership with the Cottage Industry Technology Center (CITC).
Providing inputs for the forum were CITC Executive Director Franklin P. Bunoan who bared opportunities in engineered bamboo or what is now dubbed as e-bamboo. Engineered bamboos are products made from the skillful manipulation, transformation and processing of the bamboo poles.
He was joined by Mr. Jeremiaz B. Bruzon of the DENR Ecosystem Research and Development Bureau who discussed opportunities in bamboo nursery and plantation establishment.
The local government of Carmen, Surigao Del Sur shared how their municipality established a ten (10) hectare bamboo plantation and another two (2) hectares of bamboo plant display containing thirty eight (38) varieties.
Diosdado R. Orillaneda, Ph.D., of the Department of Education Caraga Regional Office discussed their agency’s engineered bamboo school desk procurement program in accordance with EO 879 and its implementing rules and regulations. Executive Order 879 created the Philippine Bamboo Development Council and tasked it to promote the Philippine bamboo industry. The order is an acknowledgement of the important role that bamboo plays in job generation, climate change mitigation and disaster risk reduction. Another important aspect of the executive order is that it required the Department of Education to allocate twenty five (25%) percent of its annual school desk procurement to be made from engineered bamboo.
Other agencies providing support to the development of the bamboo industry in the region also graced the forum. Mr. Noel M. Ajoc, of the Department of Science and Technology – Agusan Del Norte provincial office provided inputs on the agency’s program that the industry can benefit from.
Ms. Lovely Laudette D. Gamba of the Department of Labor and Employment discussed their interventions especially their recent collaboration with the International Labour Organization’s Climate Change Adaptation Project on the establishment of a bamboo nursery in Buenavista, Agusan del Norte.
The Small Business Guarantee and Finance Corporation, on the hand, was also present through their representative Ms. Melody G. Viste who gave information on funding opportunities available for the bamboo industry.
It was funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) –assisted Rural Micro-Enterprise Promotion Program (RuMEPP). (DTI-Caraga/PIA-Caraga)
ILO-DOLE-DTI climate change adaptation project now testing financing schemes in Agusan Norte towns
by Brenda B. Corvera
BUTUAN CITY, September 5 -- Three models of innovative financing schemes are currently being tested in four towns of Agusan del Norte as possible support to climate change adaptation efforts of vulnerable farming communities. The financing schemes are for crop production and alternative livelihood.
The rural bank model is being run by the Peoples’ Bank of Caraga (PBC) in the municipalities of R. T. Romualdez, Jabonga, Buenavista and Las Nieves.
The cooperative model is run by recently awarded Baug CARP Beneficiaries Multi-Purpose Cooperative (BCBMPC) as 3rd National Placer in the Land Bank of the Philippines’ 2011 Gawad Pitak Awards and further cited as “Best Cooperative in Environmental Protection and Management”, as well as “Outstanding Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARB) Cooperative.” The cooperative model is being test-run in three of the priority towns except RTR.
The third model – local government unit –run facility is being expanded in RTR (for alternative livelihood), it being the original designer and successful implementor of the said financing facility, and tested in Buenavista and Jabonga – mostly for crop production.
The three models differ only in their interest rates with the LGU facility being priced the lowest (@ only 5% for the whole cropping or less than 1% per month, coop model at 1% per month and the rural bank model at 2.3% per month.
All three models, however are implementing the proposed innovative schemes to make the financial assistance responsive to climate change vulnerabilities. These features include – completion of a financial literacy program which not only informs farmers on their loan obligations but also on how to manage their household budget and savings; farmers’ field school to provide updated support on crop production activities and appropriate business technologies for alternative livelihood activities; fast processing of loan applications to respond to changing planting patterns and timetable; cash-cycle responsive amortization schedule that allows for payments only when farmers already have the money (after harvest, after sales). The financing also includes crop insurance and immediate refinancing to allow farmers to recoup losses due to climate –induced damages; personal credit life insurance and mortuary protection for the farmer borrower and the members of his or her household – so as not to burden the farming household in case of death in the family; and marketing support – to wean them away from unreasonably low-priced purchases from traders.
A weather–index-based insurance (WIBI) is also being pilot tested for the towns of RTR and Buenavista. The other two towns are not included because the multi-year past weather data provided by the PAG-ASA station in Bancasi, Butuan City - needed to establish the indices are only valid within a certain radius which unfortunately does not cover Jabonga and Las Nieves.
But with the recent establishment of automatic weather stations in all four towns, future WIBI product packaging will now be possible.
The test implementation which involves some 600 farming households started late April and will wind up by late October this year. The test run will then be the basis for some policy recommendations and possible replication in other areas.
The innovative financing scheme test runs are under the demonstration project in Agusan del Norte dubbed “Climate Resilient Farming Communities Through Risk Transfer Mechanisms.”
The demo project is implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in collaboration with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of Labor & Employment (DOLE), and the Provincial Government of Agusan del Norte.
It is one of five pilot sites in the country for aimed at developing mechanisms to adapt to climate change under the Millennium Development Goal Achievement Fund (MDG-F). The project is principally funded by the Spanish Government. (DTI-Caraga/PIA-Caraga)
