AFEBS starts test-broadcast in Surigao City
By Fryan E. Abkilan
BUTUAN CITY, May 20 (PIA) – The Advance Forward
Emergency Broadcasting System (AFEBS), a community-based public communication
system designed for disaster operation, can now be heard in Surigao City.
Conceptualized by Philippine Information Agency
(PIA) Caraga regional director Abner Caga, AFEBS began its test-broadcast
around 4:30 pm, Saturday, May 17, 2014.
Caga said the installation of this disaster
operation tool is a manifestation of the agency’s strong linkage with the local
government unit (LGU) in support to bringing timely, accurate and reliable
information.
“There is no greater legacy than to help our
brethren and this is one good start by keeping them informed so as to keep them
safe and secure through getting the right information at a right time and at no
expense. They simply need to listen to 107.8 where helpful emergency
preparedness tips, worthwhile information are announced and significant
information are aired,” Caga said.
Caga said AFEBS can also be heard in the city’s
vital locations such as bus, ferry, airport terminals, luneta park and
playground and other public places.
Surigao City mayor Ernesto Matugas, in his
statement, proudly shared that they are the first LGU beneficiary of
PIA-Caraga’s community-broadcasting tool in the entire country.
“I fervently hope that with this communication
tool, Surigaonons will be more disaster resilient and well-informed. It cannot
be done without the support of our active partner in serving the Surigaonons
through timely, accurate and reliable information – the Philippine Information
Agency (PIA) Caraga Region led by Dir. Abner Caga,” Matugas said.
Meantime, City Media Information and
Communication Officer Annette Villaces expressed her gratitude to the personnel
of PIA Caraga for the well-planned setting up of AFEBS in the city, where
disasters most struck in their place and its nearby towns.
“This is very beneficial to the community. We
see a better potential of complete preparedness and zero casualty for
establishing AFEBS. Rest assured that we will continue to deliver information
the best way we can. We will accept feedbacks from your end so enhancement of
the system can be done. Get informed and stay safe,” Villaces said. (FEA/VLG/PIA-Caraga)

Project 'PATUBO' reinvented
By Dr. Jonas H. Jomonong
BUTUAN CITY, May 20 (PIA) – “We envision to
advocate what is really Butuanon, what is distinctly Butuan and our role as
educators is to promote cultural identity and pride as well as to have a sense
of self in a socio-cultural community,” Butuan City School Division
Superintendent Josita B. Carmen emphasized on the 2-day seminar-workshop on
Project PATUBO last May 14-15, 2014 here.
The said training was participated by selected
Grades 4 and 9 teachers, school heads and district supervisors. It aims to
integrate local history and culture of the city, develop lesson exemplars and
lesson plans, and appreciate and enrich Butuan history and culture.
Dr. Bebelyn Corvera, Education Program
Supervisor in Makabayan and Project PATUBO division coordinator said that
"even if we are not a pure Butuanon in blood, we should have the heart of
a true Butuanon." Thus, she concluded that as educators, they all have the
responsibility in nurturing the rich heritage of Butuanon, promoting its
historical places, its cultural festivals and most specifically, the use of
Butuanon dialect and translating it to one's daily endeavor in life especially
to the young generation so as to restore of what is a true Butuanon.
“There is a need to localize the teaching and
learning of students for proper inculcation of the concepts and ideas about
Butuanon, so as to relive its significance to our lives,” Corvera said.
Project PATUBO stands for "PAHAWAGON TA Ang
TURISMO HONG BUTUAN (Let us promote Butuan's tourism)," which is one of
the flagship programs of the Butuan City division. (DepEd-Butuan City

NYC gathers Asian Youth Organization Leaders for
Asian Forum
MANILA, May 20 - The National Youth Commission
(NYC) plays host to the heads of national youth organizations from across Asia
during this year’s Asian Youth Council Meeting.
The theme of this year's gathering is Post 2015
Asian Youth: Prospects and Challenges. It is anchored on the 2015 assessment of
the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the other
challenges that youth in certain Asian countries face.
The delegates to the international meeting will
have convergence activities with the 10th National Youth Parliament delegates.
Among these are the participation to the International HIV Candle Lighting
Memorial in Liwasang Bonifacio and a Fellowship Dinner.
The major activity during the event is the One
Asia Youth Forum, where participants and their local counterparts will be
encouraged to discuss and propose measures responding to issues that are
identified in the four theme areas for: Education, Employment, Health and
Participation, the same theme areas used for the 10th NYP. The event will be
capped by the signing of a Manifesto of Cooperation between the countries represented.
The three-day event will be capped by a Farewell
Dinner, where the newly-appointed NYC officials will be in attendance: Incoming
Chairman Gregorio Ramon A. Tingson; Commissioner-at-Large Jose Sixto Dantes;
Commissioner representing Luzon Percival CendaΓ±a; Commissioner representing
Visayas Jo Jan Paul Penol and Commissioner representing Mindanao Earl Saavedra.

HIV Infection among youth alarming; NYC calls
for immediate interventions
MANILA, May 20 - "The rise of HIV infection
among young people is 'fast and furious.' Nakakabahala talaga ito."
The National Youth Commission (NYC) recently
expressed this concern at the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial in
Liwasang Bonifacio. NYC Commissioner Perci CendaΓ±a said, "we are very
alarmed by the steady increase in HIV infection among young people. In the
March 2014 AIDS Registry, 28 percent of new cases are from the 15 to 24 age
group. Isa sa bawat apat na kaso ng HIV ay kabataan."
According to Commissioner CendaΓ±a" the
risky behavior of young people compounded by the lack of comprehensive
information on HIV-AIDS, and the limited HIV counseling and services fuel the
increase. Awareness is really low, studies reveal that a lot of young people,
in this day and age, believe that there is a cure for AIDS."
The NYC is pushing for comprehensive HIV-AIDS
education for the Filipino youth. "The most effective way to reduce the
risky behavior of the young is by providing them with the necessary information
and guidance to help them make responsible actions and decisions,"
Commissioner CendaΓ±a pointed out.
On the services side, the NYC is calling for
"improved access to HIV counseling and services that are also
youth-friendly, voluntary and confidential. We are also pushing for the
amendment of the AIDS law to allow those below 18 years old to undergo HIV
testing even without parental concern," he explained.
The NYC is also very concerned on the proposal
to make HIV tests mandatory. "We have expressed our reservation in a
letter to the Department of Health. Making the tests mandatory may infringe on
the right to privacy which is guaranteed by law and may lead to stigma and
discrimination," Commisioner CendaΓ±a said. (NYC/PIA-Caraga)

Cebunao News: HIV testing nagpabilin nga
kabobot-on, nag-ingon ang Palasyo
Ni Nida Grace P. Barcena
SURIGAO DEL SUR, Mayo 20 (PIA) - Ang Palasyo
niadtong miaging adlaw nag-ingon nga ang testing alang sa Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) nagpabilin nga boluntaryo.
Si Presidential Communication Operations Office
Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr, miingon nga ang Republic Act 8504 o ang
Philippine AIDS Prevention and Control Act of 1998, nagdumili sa compulsory HIV testing.
“Pinasubay sa maong balaod, wala gitugot ang
compulsory HIV testing mao nga kalma lang. Wala pod tay giduso nga wala
mahiuyon sa balaod (Ayon po doon sa batas na ‘yon, hindi po pinahihintulutan
ang compulsory HIV testing kaya hinahon lang. Wala naman po tayong iginigiit na
hindi naaayon sa batas),” sulti pa ni Coloma.
Ang mga grupo nga misuporta sa HIV & AIDS
sama sa Action for Health Initiatives, Network to Stop AIDS Philippines,
Filipinos Living with HIV, ug ang Library Foundation Share Collective
nagpahayag sa ilang pagsupak sa mga mandatory HIV testing.
“Wala man noon sila maghisgot na ipahamtang na
ang pamalaod kalabot niana. Mao siguro nga naa pa kita sa aspeto nga
kinahanglan kana taman sa boluntaryo lamang (Wala naman po silang binabanggit
na ipapatupad na patakaran hinggil diyan. Kaya siguro nandoon pa talaga tayo sa
aspeto na dapat ‘yan ay maging purely voluntary lamang),” sulti pa ni Coloma.
Ang RA 8504 miasoy nga: Ang Compulsory HIV
testing ingon sa usa ka kondisyon sa trabaho, pagdawat sa edukasyon nga mga
