Army, police join forces to stop NPA's extortion

By Cpt. Roel T. Maglalang

BUENAVISTA, Agusan del Norte, May 7 – The 23rd Infantry “Masigasig” Battalion (23IB), Philippine Army together with Agusan del Norte Police Provincial Office (ADN-PPO) on Wednesday hosted the 1st Security Coordinating Conference held at the 23IB headquarters, Jamboree Site, Purok 6, Brgy. Alubihid, Buenavista, Agusan del Norte.

The event transpired as part of the Critical Infrastructure Protection Security Operations (CIPSO) to intensify efforts in ending the extortion scheme of the Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs), to instill the concept of Shared Security Environment (SSE) with all the stakeholders involved, and to align the assessment and plans in achieving peace and resilient development programs for the areas of Agusan del Norte.

The said activity was attended by Col. Cerilo C. Balaoro, Jr., Deputy Brigade Commander, 402nd Infantry (Stingers) Brigade, Philippine Army; Ltc. Julius Cesar C. Paulo, Commanding Officer of 23IB, and his staff; PCol. Martin M. Gamba, Provincial Director, ADN-PPO; Chiefs of Police from different municipalities and contractors of ongoing government flagship projects within the Area of Operation of 23IB.

Ltc. Paulo cited the importance of Shared Security and the involvement of all sectors, particularly the local government units (LGUs) in addressing the extortion activities of the New People’s Army (NPA). “This is part of our efforts in addressing the atrocities and to strengthen security measures of infrastructures, development projects, legitimate business that serve the interests in providing gainful employment, and tourism areas in partnership with the Local Government Units (LGUs), Philippine National Police, and other law enforcement agencies and prevent the latter from conducting harassment, and intimidation against private companies in the area," he said.

"The NPA extortion work is not just the responsibility of the government security forces but it is everybody’s concern," Ltc. Paulo added.

The NPAs also target the equipment of construction companies because they are soft and undefended and destroying them will delay the construction of farm-to-market-road and prevent the government from bringing the basic services to rural areas.

“Have faith in your government, have faith in your security. This is a big leap forward to prosecute the assailants and let’s not give the NPA rebels the breather and the opportunity to penetrate the burning spree of heavy equipment and to stop their terrorism plans and to pressure the companies to give in to their extortion demands,” Col. Balaoro said. (CMO Officer, 23IB 4ID PA/PIA Agusan del Norte)

Bridging knowledge, closing the gap: IPs in agriculture

By Kent Warren H. Fugoso

Leaning towards development for the ancestral domains of the Indigenous Cultural Communities (ICCs) / Indigenous Peoples (IPs), the Department of Agriculture (DA) – Caraga through the Kabuhayan at Kaunlaran ng Kababayang Katutubo (4K), mobilizes its efforts in creating a livelihood and agricultural productivity program that will touch into four components such as Social Preparation, Production and Livelihood, Marketing Assistance and Enterprise Development, and Project Management. The project will also provide a capacity building that will link the IP community to credit facilities and crop insurance. All of these will be catered through the targeted Community Needs-Assessments (CNA).

‘No One Left Behind’

The 4Ks, which commenced last 2020, is intended for the IPs to throw light on norms that they are the “left behind” sectors in the society. The year 2020 has an allocated budget of P13.7 million pesos while 2021 has P14.9 million pesos. 

“Our IPs have massive spaces and lands for agricultural products but it is not productive. This is the reason why this initiative is lodge under the DA, of course in coordination with the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) to safeguard the customs, traditions, values, beliefs, and interest of the communities,” said Edelmira Luminarias, DA – Caraga4K Program Focal Person.

Before the implementation of the project, a joint special order with the DA and NCIP was established to work hand-in-hand. 

‘Checking the validity’

The project will cater to IP farmers and fisherfolk of recognized Indigenous Political Structure (IPS) by the NCIP, who has a Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT), Certificate of Ancestral Land Title (CALT), and Certificate of Ancestral Domain Claims (CADC). In addition, they should also be registered in the Registry System for Basic Sectors in Agriculture (RSBSA).

“The reason, why we need to look thoroughly at the recognized members of the IPS, is because there are some who are claiming to be a member of an IP community and recognized by the NCIP, so that they can avail of the benefits. They must be registered in the RSBSA so that they will be insured under the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC),” Luminarias said. 

‘Benefits from the component’

The 4Ks anchor its benefits from four different components allotting different scope of interventions. For the Social Preparation, the scope of interventions includes validation of the Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP), Community Needs Assessment, Registration of IP Farmers to RSBSA, Registration of farmers to the PCIC, and identifying the specific interventions for capability building and conduct of training. 

After determining the social preparations, component two focuses on the provision of support services and livelihood assistance. Production of support services includes quality seeds, organic and inorganic fertilizers, pre-and-post harvest equipment, tools and machinery, breeder animals to name a few. Component two also targets to improve access of technology through the conduct of technology demonstration projects as a show window of technology through approaches like ‘learning by doing’ and ‘to see is to believe’ for easy adoption of technology.

Component three will focus on the marketing assistance and enterprise development which is in coordination with DA-Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Division as key players. Technical assistance and literacy training take place to access finance, markets, services, and partnerships outside the ancestral domains. This component also aims to match the market and create linkages and a farm consolidation approach as well as value-adding of their products.

The last component will be the Project Management where implementation, coordination, and provision of logistics are ensured and appropriately conducted.

“Consultation in every Ancestral Domain is necessary so that we can keep up with the effects of the implementation. We have to hold onto our aim to provide initiative but in accord with their customs and tradition,” Luminarias said. 

‘Target communities’

For the year 2020, DA-4Ks identified 10 recipients of the 4K Program Intervention. Three IPOs from Agusan del Norte, three from Surigao del Sur, three from Surigao del Norte, and one from Butuan City.

For 2021, as of the latest data, DA-4Ks listed three recipients from Agusan del Sur. These are IPOs from Rosario, Bunawan, and Sibagat, Agusan del Sur. 

“For the list of recipients, we already incorporated the farm clustering approach so that these selected recipients will feel better access to resources, technologies, and markets

basing on their specific sectors,” Luminarias said. 

‘Closing the gap, Opening better opportunities’

The never-ending story of our IP communities revolves around being deficit in terms of capital and financial capacity, technical knowledge to produce quality agricultural products, lack of marketing skills, and lack of confidence. All of these dilemmas create gaps that hinder these communities to function well in the agriculture sector. 

But as the saying goes ‘alone we can do so little, together we can do so much,' there’s always a better chance to change the usual. With their expertise and historical legacies, bonded with government support and interventions, they will no longer be the ‘left behind.’ (DA RAFIS-13/PIA Caraga)

A simple place with local snacks and foods available at the corner. It is 1.5 kilometers away from San Antonio proper. The 20-foot high waterfall cascades on a rock cliff down the 10 square meters wide basin which is about 3-foot deep and can accommodate 15-20 persons at a time. You can enjoy the forest scenery while swimming at the medium size pool. The serene lush forest, tumbling waterfalls, cool and clear waters you will experience around the vicinity.

How to go there?

From Butuan City take the bus, van, or jeepney and drop in RTR town proper, specifically at the crossing where you can find Rose Bakeshop. Then from the town proper, you can hire a bicycle or habal-habal for a ride to barangay San Antonio for about 7 kilometers, then have a walk for 1.5 kilometers to Tagnote Falls.

There is also called the Sak-a falls, where you will enjoy cliff jumping and swimming. This is somewhere a weary heart can find comfort and rest from the busy lifestyle of the present time. Sak-a Falls is also found in Barangay San Antonio,Remedios T. Romualdez. It is a two-hour trek from the barangay proper. The beauty of it is so tempting especially at high noon because the flowing water seems to sparkle with the rays of the sun striking from above.

Mountain Climbing

If you are one of those who like mountain climbing, then Mount Hilong-hilong is the place you will really want to go to since Mt. Hilung-Hilong is known as the highest mountain peak in Caraga. It is 2,012 meters above sea level and has seven large waterfalls and seven caves. Thus, according to German Botanist, Circular 1920, the smallest flower is seen only in this mountain. The easiest trek to the peak is through Malvar Trail situated in Barangay San Antonio of RTR within three days to the peak and one day going back to the barangay proper.

Caving

The cave is 4.5 meters wide and 300 meters long. It has a tight vertical entrance that makes one hold his breath and at the end of the cave is a rock that looks like an altar. Below the altar are smaller rocks that can be used as chairs.

These beautiful places in RTR are perfect for all types of travelers, from solo and couple to family and friends. You will be mesmerized by the magnificent wonders of nature and man-made cultural heritage sites that the place has to offer.

By Venus L. Garcia

SIYUDAD SA BUTUAN, May 7 (PIA) -- Hugtanong giawhag sa Department of Health – Center for Health and Development (DOH-CHD) Caraga ang tanang Caraganons nga magpadayun sa pagpraktis sa minimum health protocols ug pagsunod sa guidelines nga gipatuman sa regional task force (RTF) for COVID-19 aron malikay nga mataptan sa maong virus.

Sa gipahigayong launching sa pinaakaunang episode sa “Kapihan sa SM City Butuan” pinaagi sa Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Caraga, gipanawagan pag-usab ni Dr. Cesar Cassion, DOH Caraga regional director, ang matag usa nga dili gayud magkumpyansa ug mahimog likayan usa ang panagtapok ug paggawas sa panimalay kun walay importanteng lakaw.

Admitado sab si Dr. Cassion nga misaka ang kaso sa COVID-19 sa nilabayng duha ka semana. Pero hinay-hinay matud pa nga mikunhod ang positive cases tungod sa pag implementar sa ahensiya sa mga nagkalain-laing stratehiya sa pagresponde aning giatubang nga health crisis.

Nahisgutan sab atol sa kapihan ang update sa vaccination program sa rehiyon diin nag-unang target ang A1 group nga mao ang mga frontline health workers.

As of May 6 niining tuiga, aduna nay 52,993 individuals ang nabakunahan sa Caraga region. Anaa sa 53,362 ang target nga mabakunahan nga mga frontline health workers.

Sumala pa ni Dr. Cassion temporaryong giundangan usa ang pag-administer sa AstraZeneca vaccine sa rehiyon. “Pero kadtong mga naturukan na aning first dose sa AstraZeneca nga bakuna eligible gihapon sila para modawat sa ilang ikaduhang dose,” sulti ni Dr. Cassion.

Sa lain bahin, padayon ang Caraga RTF sa koordinasyon, paghatag og pagtagad sa mga isyu ug concerns, ug paghatag ug solusyon niini.

“Regular ang atong ginabuhat nga RTF meetings. In fact, ang atong nagkadaiyang local government units (LGU) padayon sa ilang pagmugma og mga ordinansa nga makatabang sa pag-kontrol sa pagkaylap sa virus. Aduna na kitay mga action plans ug kanunay gipatuman ang prevention, detection, isolation, treatment, and recovery o PDITR,” sulti ni Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Caraga regional director ug RTF for COVID-19 chairperson Liza Mazo.

Suportado usab sa RTF ang mga lakang nga gibuhat sa matag LGU sa rehiyon kay matud pa ni Mazo lain-lain ang sitwasyon matag munisipyo o probinsiya mao dili angay ikatingala sa publiko kung adunay kalainan sa ilang gipatuman nga mga executive orders o guidelines.

Base sa latest update sa DOH-Caraga, 72 ang natalang new recoveries, as of 6 May 2021, kung diin misaka na sa 9,156 ang katibuk-ang recoveries sa rehiyon. (VLG/PIA-Caraga)

Binigyang-diin ni Dr. Cassion na mas napapabilis ang pagbabakuna sa mga eligible priority groups dahil na rin sa direktiba ni President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

“Mandato po ng ating Presidente na sa loob ng anim na araw mula ng pagdating ng vaccines sa ating rehiyon ay dapat na itong maibigay sa mga eligible priority groups base na doon sa ating masterlist, sa tulong na rin ng ating mga local government units,” pahayag ni Cassion.

Nanawagan naman si Dir. Liza Mazo sa publiko na patuloy na sumunod sa health protocols at suportahan ang vaccination program ng gobyerno.

“Sumunod po tayo sa minimum health standards laban COVID-19. Ugaliin po ang pagsuot ng face mask, face shield, paghugas ng kamay at social distancing. Patuloy pa rin pong tumataas ang kaso sa rehiyon kaya mas maging maingat sana tayo,” sabi ni Mazo. (JPG/PIA-Caraga)
