TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, Jan. 02 (PIA)–Panaghiusa ang panawagan ni Presidente Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III sa katawhang Pilipino sa pagsulod sa tuig 2013.
“Ituloy lang natin ang bayanihan. Kapit-bisig tayong humakbang tungo sa maliwanag at masaganang kinabukasan ng ating bayan.”
Sa iyang mensahe sa pagsugat sa Bag-ong Tuig, gibalikan ni PNoy ang mga nasinati sa nasud sa tuig 2012.
Bisan daghan og pagsuway, daghan usab og kalampusan nga nakab-ot ang mga Pilipino, partikular na kalabot sa ekonomiya, edukasyon, kalinaw ug mga balaodnon.
“Ang taong 2012 ay parehong panahon ng pagsubok at tagumpay. May ilan mang lubak sa ating paglalakbay; may mga pilit mang humadlang sa ating mga positibong hakbang; nanaig pa rin ang adhika nating ituwid ang baluktot na sistema, at baguhin ang dinatnan nating kalagayan ng bansa.”
Aminado usab si PNoy nga mahimong kritikal usab ang pagsulod sa 2013 ilabi na nga apil sa babagan sa administrasyon ang pagpatuman sa mga napasar nga balaod, paghikyad og malungtarong kalinaw sa Mindanao ug ang eleksyon.
Kalabot niini, nanghinaot ang Presidente nga mas hingusgan pa sa katawhan ang pakighiusa paingon sa giingong tul-id na dalan ug mahimong magbinantayon sa mga bag-ong ibutang nga pango.
Naglaum usab si PNoy nga mas mahimo pang nindot ang tuig 2013 kun itandi sa mga nilabay nga tuig alang sa katawhang Pilipino. (PIA-Bohol/ecb/I-gg)

PRESIDENT Benigno S. Aquino III called on Filipinos to continue fostering the spirit of “bayanihan” (cooperation) in order for the advancements achieved by the government to improve the image of the Philippines as the former “Sick Man of Asia” into the revitalized tiger it is today, will carry over into 2013 and the succeeding New Years.
In his New Year’s message delivered on Monday, December 31, the President said that only after two and a half years in Office, his Administration was able to achieve historic feats such as building lasting peace through the signing of a Framework Agreement with the MILF, attaining rice sufficiency by plugging leaks and properly managing rice production in the agriculture sector, bridging the classroom gap, alleviating poverty by investing in social and infrastructure endeavors, bringing electricity to far-flung sitios and improving the economy which has now grown 7.1 percent to be the best performer in Asia.
He added that by implementing reforms in the judiciary and improving the country’s ability to respond to natural calamities, the Philippines has shown to the entire world the readiness of Filipinos to sacrifice and dedicate his entire self to achieve his dreams and ambitions. (PCOO)

THE Department of Health (DOH) is considering a ban on individual use of fireworks/firecrackers if injuries continue to rise during the holiday season despite its all-out efforts.
From 21-26 December, there were a total of 72 fireworks-related injuries. Of this number, 71 were due to fireworks and one stray bullet case. The number of cases is 33% lower compared to the same period last year. There were no deaths reported.
Last year for the same period, there were 108 fireworks-related injuries: 99 from fireworks, 8 from stray bullets, and 1 from firecracker ingestion.
Most of the cases came from the National Capital Region (20), Western Viasayas (12), and Cagayan Valley (6). CALABARZON, Central Visayas, and Zamboanga Peninsula had 5 cases each.
Majority (86%) of the cases were males. Ages of the cases ranged from nine months to 58 years. About 39% (28 cases) were children less than 10 years old. Most (59%) were active users of fireworks.
Majority (73%) of victims sustained blast injuries not requiring amputation, 20% (14) had eye injuries and 4% (3) were blasts requiring amputation.
Health Secretary Enrique Ona noted that most cases happen during Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. He appealed to parents and caregivers to be vigilant on said dates and prevent them from playing/using firecrackers in their merrymaking activities.
The health chief also revealed that the DOH might consider a ban on the individual use of fireworks/firecrackers while it continues to push for a community display of fireworks to significantly bring down the number of casualties.
This means that LGUs should identify safe areas for community fireworks display and that with the imposition of the ban, only certain accredited organizations will be allowed to purchase these fireworks. This will further encourage development of legitimate firework manufacturers while discouraging fly-by-night manufacturers. (DoH)
