NSO updates public on special civil registry

By Danilo S. Makiling

BUTUAN CITY, Nov. 16 (PIA) – The National Statistics Office (NSO)-Caraga through the Civil Registrar has updated the public on the current situation of the special civil registry in the region.

In a press conference held recently here, NSO-Caraga Regional Director Rosalinda Celeste-Apura presented the performance indicator on the completion rate of those who requested civil registry documents in the region.

Apura said some 900 special civil registry transactions were recorded as of August 2012 and only 40.1 percent was recorded for the on-time completion rate while 210 feedback cases were recorded.

These special civil registry documents are those affected by the court decrees and legal instruments (CDLI) and Republic Act 9048 authorizing the city or the municipality civil registrar or the Consul-General to correct a clerical or typographical error, as well as Republic Act 9255, an act allowing illegitimate children to use the surname of their father.

“This happened because of the long turnaround time, high incident of feedback and or exemption notices and high incident of re-work cases or unsuccessful annotations,” Apura explained.

Because of this prevailing situation, the official said that NSO is doing everything to resolve this problem.

Apura said by implementing a measure through a project where the turnaround time will be reduced from 22 to 20 working days. She added this project which was piloted here in the region aimed to improve the completion rate from current level 40.1 percent in August 2012 to at least 56.6 percent by December 2012.

The official further said with the implementation of this project, incident of feedback notices were reduced. It also increased public awareness regarding the requirements and process flow in requesting the civil registry documents affected by CDLI and RA 9048, as well as strengthening the collaboration and networking with C/MCRs clerk of courts, Philippine Information Agency, and other line agencies.

She added to further systematize the flow of requesting special civil registry, implement preliminary screening and monitoring purposes and transmit the screened or evaluated documents to CRD-Manila for priority loading in the CRS database. (NCLM/PIA-Caraga/FMGM)

Feature: Convergence equation; building inroads to peace through skills training initiative

By Gervacio Dauz Jr.

It was at the scenic Lantawan Eco-Park a month and a half ago where I first met and chatted with Mylen G. Mariano, 18, a Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) chair and resident of Brgy. San Isidro here.

At the time, she confided that she was aching to go back to school in order to learn something practical and applicable that she can make use of to earn something for a living.

At the time too, I could sense that she was disposed into believing what the movers and shakers of the Kasanayan Para sa Kapayapaan at Kaunlaran (KKK) Project – which is a skills development convergence for peace – were espousing something that was “too good to be true.” From the presenters on the stage, she heard what they were saying: “free skills training and even scholarship availment.”

The next time around, when our team of collaborators from the Philippine Army’s 3rd Special Forces Battalion (SFB), the Rotary Club of Central Butuan (RCCB), and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) of Agusan del Norte, and this time with representatives from the provincial government of Agusan del Norte and the host local government unit, converged on the municipal gym here, I again saw Mylen. I drew near her and saw the scholarship grant she’s holding, which contained the following entry: Commercial Cooking NC II with the amount of P8,500 to be availed of at the Tesda Provincial Training Center in Cabadbaran City.

After picture taking, I inquired from her: “How does it feel when you are holding now the proof and ticket of your opportunity to learn something practical?” With an infectious laughter, she replied: “I feel truly happy and gay and thankful because of this opportunity. Now I can go back to school. It’s tiresome and tedious doing nothing.”

I could sense through her response that the road to peace is beginning to open up through the skills training and harnessing the people’s potential and aspiration for growth and self-reliance.

Together with Mylen were eight out-of-school youth from this town who were fortunate enough to be chosen to undergo the Commercial Cooking NC II skills training, plus another two who will get training in Electrical Installation and Maintenance NC II, for a total of P79,000 in scholarship grants courtesy of the provincial government under Governor Erlpe John M. Amante.

Under the KKK venture, another 30 others will get training in the rudiments of Food and Beverage Services for 10 days through the community-based training approach.

Furthermore, a group of 10 nationally certified welders from this place were also awarded with welding tool kits and paraphernalia composed of welding machine, portable grinders, gloves, gas masks, vests, etc. amounting to P62,000.00 under the Tesda Specialista Technopreneurship Program (TSTP). The TSTP is an ongoing program of Tesda under the leadership of Secretary Joel Villanueva, under a scheme of reaching out to those certified tech-voc graduates who would like to venture into entrepreneurial endeavors.

The scholarship awarding, the KKK venture and the TSTP roll out – all considered as a three-in-one event – made Vice Mayor Zenaida Lim, who represented Mayor Franklin D. Lim, happy, noting that the convergence support would make a dent in her municipality’s quest of helping its constituents help themselves.

“We have lots of out-of-school youth here and the parents could not afford to send them to a degree program,” she said. “But we thank the provincial government of Agusan del Norte, Tesda, RCCB and also the 3rd Special Forces Battalion for taking the initiative of being a blessing to our youth.”

She urged the youth not to be complacent, but instead try to be relevant and have a purpose in life, because “life is not a pointless venture . . . life is more than just existing.”

Said Provincial Director Florencio F. Sunico Jr.: “This is our way of giving our constituents the means to fight poverty. The reason why conflicts arise is because of lack of opportunity. Now we are giving you the opportunity.”

Rey Jamboy, member of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan in Agusan del Norte, who attended on behalf of Governor Amante, pointed out to the recipients: “You are very fortunate because out of the thousands, you were among the chosen few. Our purpose is to give you the opportunity and we will be happy if you can reciprocate by aspiring to learn and become successful later in life.”

Rotarian John Uy, president of the RCCB, for his part requested that the recipients be receptive and responsive enough to the opportunity given because the means of helping them is just meagre, though he hinted that his club could shell out more money depending on the warm response.

Gentorven Tac-on, who represented Angelica Rosedell Amante-Matba of the 2nd Congressional District of Agusan del Norte, disclosed that the congresswoman is equally supportive of the province’s tech-voc initiatives and proof of this is the annual allocation by Matba of P3 million in scholarship support.

Underlying the convergent initiatives is the ever present concern about peace as revealed by Lt. Col. Potenciano C. Camba, Commanding Officer of the 3RD SFB. He pointed out that “Zapanta Valley (in Kitcharao, Agusan del Norte) has always been a symbol of insurgency for several years already, not only in Agusan del Norte, but also for the whole region of Caraga.”

He pointed out that insurgency continued to be a challenge because “70 percent of the problem is socio-economic in nature.” But he remained hopeful that with the convergence working its way through giving opportunities for the out-of-school youth, peace would be attainable in the long run.

Center for street kids launched

By Maria Luisa Dianah Z. Generalao

BUTUAN CITY, Nov. 16 (PIA) – The city government here recently launched the Center for Redirected Youth (CRY) in Butuan-by-the-River, Brgy. Leon Kilat to address the growing number of street children.

CRY offers a comprehensive program that primarily aims to encourage street children to go back to their own homes and parents. They are provided basic education that is seen to help improve their personal growth and alleviate their living conditions.

Workers from the City Social and Development Welfare (CSWD) perform regular teaching and character development for the street kids.

Aware that parents of these kids don’t have enough to spend for their families, a common reason why the children prefer to stay in the streets, the local government started to conduct regular livelihood trainings for the parents of the street children, for them to be able to start anew and provide for their own families.

Private individuals occasionally donate food for the street children and feeding sessions are done on weekends. CRY is equipped with a library and playground. (CMO-PIO/FMGM PIA-Caraga)

By Maria Luisa Dianah Z. Generalao

BUTUAN CITY, Nov. 16 (PIA) – The local government here through the Office of the City Agriculturist recently launched the Barangay Food Terminal (BFT) held at the Butuan City New Villages Cooperative (BCNVC) in Brgy. Mahay.

However, the BFT will not only be open for the residents of the said barangay but also to farmers and entrepreneurs from other barangays in the city.

The BFT will be managed by the BCNVC, a group of 230 members who are residents of the said barangay and have been operating for some time now.

A Certificate of Award enabling the BCNVC to manage the BFT and a cash assistance amounting to P 100,000.00 for additional funding, all from the local government, was also presented during the launching. (CMO-PIO/FMGM PIA-Caraga)


Butuan-LGU readies for Light-Up Butuan 2012

By Maria Luisa Dianah Z. Generalao

BUTUAN CITY, Nov. 16 (PIA) - As the season of merry-making once again fills the air, the Local Government here through the City Engineer’s Office (CEO) is preparing for the Simultaneous Switch-on and Launching of Light Up Butuan 2012.

Seven areas are now being prepared to be simultaneously lit up during the said launching. These areas include the City Hall Bldg., North and South Montilla Blvd., down the stretch of J.C. Aquino Ave., G. Flores Ave., the extension of South Montilla Blvd. going to the South Market, Macapagal and Magsaysay Bridges, and the Guingona Park.

Engr. Roy Rosales, City Development Administration Desk Officer, added that there will be some changes in this year’s Light Up Butuan. For one, meteor lights will be put up all over the City Hall Complex instead of the usual Christmas lights that were used during the previous celebrations. Along with these are loop lights that will also be put up for a more creative and decorative output. 70 pieces of 4x4 Pampanga lanterns have also been purchased and will be lined up along North and South Montilla Blvd.

The Guingona Park, where the launching will be held, is also being readied. The park will be adorned with meteor lights and Capiz lanterns will be hung in the surrounding Acacia trees.

Annual celebrations are usually launched December 01 of each year, but Engr. Rosales said that the Simultaneous Switch-on and Launching of Light Up Butuan 2012 will be done earlier on November 28.

Engr. Rosales reasoned that the early launching is because of the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) National Convention which will be held here starting November 27 up until December 03, 2012, citing that it would be great if the city is already lit up when the 2,500 convention participants from all over the country arrive here.

This year’s Simultaneous Switch-on and Launching of Light-Up Butuan 2012 is themed “White Christmas” to symbolize peace, equality, and progress. Mayor Ferdinand M. Amante, Jr. said this is because he wants to promote peace and equality amongst its people, and progress to continue the fast development of the city. Fireworks display and the flying of sky lanterns are expected to add excitement to the whole launching activity. (CMO/PIO/FMGM PIA-Caraga)

By Maria Luisa Dianah Z.Generalao

 BUTUAN CITY, Nov. 16 (PIA) -- A historic event took place as the first and only college institution founded by a Liga ng mga Barangay (league of villages) held thr blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony in Brgy. Pigdaulan here, Wednesday.

As per Resolution No. 171 Series of 2012, every barangay is required to contribute a certain percentage of their Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA), depending on the number of students from their community with which they want to enroll as scholars in the Colegio.

The city government, meanwhile, donated the government lot where the college now stands and contributed P 2,285,554 of the total P 5,815,194.61 construction cost.

The structure is yet to be completed, but it already has a library housing 1,100 books, and a computer laboratory furnished with 26 brand new computer units.

At the moment, the two-storey building has six classrooms, but is seen to increase with the addition of six more inside another two-storey building come 2013.

A conference room with an LCD projector and a computer set will also be added, among other new facilities expected to be completed next year.

It now offers two courses: Bachelor of Science in Real Estate Management (BSREM) and Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship (BS Entrep).

The blessing was attended by Bayan Muna Representative Teddy Casiño, who donated a laptop and projector set for the school last July, along with City Councilors Virgilio Nery, Angie Calo, Ramon Carampatana, and City Administrator Leah Mendoza.
