International Non-Government Organizations (INGO) from United Nation assembled at Trento, Agusan del Sur last December 27. These INGOs form a cluster for Shelter, Food and Education to give support the Provincial Government for the rehabilitation program of the affected municipalities of Agusan del Sur by the Typhoon Pablo.

There are five major municipalities included on the rehabilitation program, Bunawan, Trento, Sta. Josefa, Veruela.

The UN-INGOs will make a center in Trento where the relief goods will be dropped on that place and distributed to other affected municipalities.

The Shelter cluster headed by the UN-International Organization for Migration (UN-IOM) pursue on imposing an emergency shelter program for the victims, immediately. Based on IOM’s standard, the shelter should not make its occupants feel very hot in the morning and too cold at night.

Mr. Mariano P. Nava of UN-IOM presided the meeting on the shelter program with the Municipal Social Welfare and Development (MSWD) heads from different affected municipalities, the Chief of Staff of Provincial Government of Agusan del Sur, Provincial Social Welfare and Development Officer, Regional Department of Social Welfare and Development Crisis Intervention Unit Head and UNICEF representatives.

“This is not like Typhoon Sendong’s effect, it is the combination of Typhoon Ondoy and Sendong,” as Mr. Mariono described the effect of Typhoon Pablo.

Aside on the disaster made by Typhoon Pablo, the shelter program faced another problem and that is the distance between other houses.

“Unlike the Sendong, we can compress the people and relocate them easily- but not in here” he added along the discussion.

MSWD’s found it a big challenge and should be resolved with their next meeting.

Mr. Jess Far, Chief Protection Specialist from UNICEF shared his other concerns regarding on the shelter program. He emphasized that the shelter program should be implemented as soon as possible.

According to Mr. Jess, without the shelter it could be a reason to create a human trafficking because crime syndicates will use this opportunity.

“We should monitor the migration of the people of the affected municipalities especially the children who are prone to this kind of activity (human trafficking),” he added on his talk.

Human trafficking is very rampant on this kind of situation and mostly will accept even the smallest offer that a crime syndicate can offer.

All the concerns raised on the said meeting will be carried this coming January 3, 2013 meeting that will be held in Trento, Agusan del Sur.

Informative….. Enjoyable….. Entertainment galore….these are the words that represents the newest Local Informative Entertainment/ Magazine Show which is based in Butuan City.

“Nays ta Diri” is a TV Magazine Show  that features various places in the Caraga region, in order to reach the unreachable areas/places that people don’t know that it exist. The program also helps in promoting the tourism of Caraga region. The show was launched last February 6, 2012.

According to their Facebook Page, “the show is the mainstream production of the Still N Motion Productions-Butuan and produced for the Local Affiliate Station of the TV5/ Kapatid Network- Caraga.”

What? TV5? Yes, you read it right! The show is produced by the TV5 which is now in Butuan City.

As a proudly Agusanon, it is a good start to have this kind of show, because there are so many things that people should know and discover about the entire Caraga. Some magazine shows that I'd watched, none of them tried to capture the hidden treasures here in Region 13 and none of them showed how peaceful is, the Eastern part of Mindanao.

Currently, "Nays ta Diri" is now on their Season 2 and still showcasing the beautiful spots and digging the best here in Caraga/Region 13.

You can watched them every Saturdays 6:00 to 7:00 PM (CATV 17 [ZENERGY]) replays on Sundays 10:30 to 11:30 am (TV5 Caraga)

Hosts:
Dave Franco,
Honey Martinez,

           Electric insufficiency is not only experience during summer season. We cannot determine when it will be happen. We should be aware on how to consume and also in a discipline way on using electricity.


           We've seen in news, or even heard in a radio about high alert due to electric insufficiency in Luzon particularly in Manila and also in Mindanao particularly in some parts in Davao Region, and also some parts in Zamboanga (but we didn't determine it where is the affected area). 


           Therefore... This must be a lesson for us in order to used properly or to consume energy. Plug-off those appliances after used and most of all PARTICIPATE DURING EARTH HOURS :)






Dios los bendiga :)

Isang tatlong buwang sanggol ang walang awang pinatay gamit ang samurai sword nang sarili nitong ama. Ang krimen ay nangyari pasado alas-otso nang gabi noong February 15, 2012 sa may Block 2, Brgy. Puntod, Cagayan de Oro, ito ay ayon kay SPO3 Ricky Bagas na may hawak nang kaso.

Walang awang pinagsasaksak nang samurai sword ni Victorian Delagon ang kanyang sariling anak na si Scarlet Delagon, tatlong buwan pa lamang at noo'y mahimbing na natutulog sa kanyang duyan.

Inamin nang kanyang asawa na si Christine na di umanoy nagkaroon nang problema sa pag-iisip ang suspek matapos silang mabiktima ng bagyong Sendong. Nakapiit ngayon sa Maharlika Detention Center at nahaharap sa kasong Parricide ang nasabing suspek.
