Dugang pa ni Andanar, mogamit ang PIA og mga komiks ug uban pang reading materials o basahon sama sa pampleta o mga pamphlets ug leaflets nga ipangapud-apod sa mga barangay aron masabtan sa matag Pilipino ang ASEAN 2017 ug kun unsa ang matabang niini sa nasod.
Gikumpirmar ni Andanar nga daghan pang lugar sa nasod ang dili maabot sa telebisyon, radyo, pamantalaan ug ilabi na ang social media o internet.

A Palace official on Thursday, January 5, welcomed the Japan Times article carrying the CNN story stating Asia’s Best Year goes to President Rodrigo Duterte.
“It’s heartening to know that certain media agencies are able to notice the good things the President is doing,” Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella said.
Japan Times is the most widely read English language newspaper in Japan.
It will be recalled that CNN had named President Duterte as “Asia’s Big Winner” in 2016.
“For now, the Philippine leader’s unconventional moves seem a harbinger of things to come. This is no pivot to China, but a disruption of the old normal,” the article read.
“Rodrigo Duterte ended 2016 seeking to rebalance his nation’s ties, improve the life of the average Filipino and make the Philippines — a one-time economic and trade powerhouse — great again. And for that Asia’s Best Year goes to Duterte,” it added.
Just very recently, President Duterte was also named Person of the Year for 2016 by the Chinese Magazine Yazhou Zhoukan, the equivalent of Time magazine in the Chinese-speaking world.
Meanwhile, at the same press briefing, Abella said several government agencies would be working together to secure the celebration of the Feast of the Black Nazarene on January 9.
The government agencies that would work to ensure a successful and secured holding of the Feast of the Black Nazarene include the Philippine National Police, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine Coast Guard, Department of Public Works and Highways, Department of Health and the Manila City Department of Public Services.
The Feast of the Black Nazarene of Quiapo is among the biggest and oldest Catholic religious celebrations in the country.
Every January, the statue of the Black Nazarene laid on a carriage, is pulled around the streets of Quiapo by devotees, many who swear to the fulfillment of miracles or personal wishes.
The event’s growing popularity continues to attract more believers and devotees. It is estimated that this year’s event would be attended by millions of devotees.
Interior Secretary Ismael Sueno, in the same briefing, added that the concerned government agencies have laid out their plans to keep the devotees of the black Nazarene safe from harm.
“We will try our best to really keep our people safe. This is why we have the PNP, the military, and the other armed groups in our government to really maintain peace and order and keep our people safe,” Sueno said.###PND

MANILA, January 4 (PIA)–Gipahibalo sa Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) nga epektibo sugod niadtong Enero 3, 2017 ang moratorium sa pagputol sa punoan sa lubi sa nasod gawas lamang sa mga lalawigan sa Basilan ug syudad sa Isabela.
Matud pa ni PCA Administrator Billy Andal, ang national moratorium sa pagputol sa mga punoan sa lubi molanat og tulo ka bulan sugod niadtong Enero 3.
Giingong kinahanglang ipatuman ang moratorium tungod kay wala man gi-seryoso sa mga coco loggers ang nakalatid sa RA 8048.
Matud pa nga kun dili ipatuman ang moratorium, mabutang sa peligro ang industriya sa lubi sa nasod tungod kay mas daghang punoan sa lubi ang gipangputol kaysa gipangtanom.
Gawas kang Andal, ang moratorium sa pagputol sa punoan sa lubi gilagdaan usab nila Cabinet Secretay Leoncio Evasco Jr: ug mga miyembro sa PCA Governing Board nga sila si Alan Tanjuakio, Edicio dela Torre ug Ponciano Batugal.
Gipasabot ni Andal nga ipaubos usab sa makuting pagtuon ang Implementing Rules and Regulations sa RA 10510593 nga nag-amyenda sa RA 8048 nga tuyong tarongon ang pag-isyu sa permit ug clearance sa mga coco loggers.
Exempted sa maong moratorium ang probinsiya sa Basilan ug syudad sa Isabela tungod sa nasinati nilang problema didto sa cocolisap. (ecb/PIA7-Bohol)

We have said it before and now we think we need to stress it for the callous.
No, we see the re-entry of then Governor Rene Relampagos into the renaming of the Bohol Circumferential Road Improvement Project (BCRIP) as another political squid tactic to deprive the man of the honor.
The man, we shall call the late Congressman and Govenor Erico B. Aumentado.
You see, Aumentado worked amidst the maneuverings of Bohol’s politicians we would rather leave unnamed here.
If we can recall, it was under then Gov Rene Relampagos term that the BCRIP was inaugurated, himself relegated to the sidelines for reasons we might have already known today.
Even then Congressman Edgar Chatto was as civil but could not steal the luster from the man who would later be called the wonder-boy of Bohol for his mega projects bought here.
So we understand the animosity, albeit, a civil one with Gov Chatto and the Aumentados. The one with Cong. Relampagos, we leave it for you to see.
What is even more honorable for then Cong Erico Aumentado is to file a bill to rename the BCRIP in favor of President Carlos P. Garcia. He could not bring himself to lift his own chair to have it named unto himself.
So, history would say, Congresswoman and former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, who worked pretty well in tandem with Aumentado, and who would then be called the biggest patron for Bohol, proposed another bill to rename the BCRIP into CPG Highway.
This should again ruffle the feathers of those local politicians who would cross hell or high water, if only to stop the CPG Highway or Circumferential Road for that name.
While Relampagos argued that no province wide recognition has been given to Garcia except for the island municipality sports complex and a city avenue.
For Macapagal-Arroyo, she said it is but rightful to name the strecth to the one who toiled for its completion, who pushed for large scale infrastructure projects including ports, the nautical highway project, Panglao Airport and mega dams.
If indeed naming the highway stretch to Garcia is honoring the man, then the deplorable state of the CPG Sports Complex and the eerie CPG Park betrays Relampagos and the SP members efforts to muddle the tug of war with politics.
In a radio survey and a staging debate in the social media, things have started to surface.
And the politics rearing its ugly head spin is not as stinging as the clear effort to downplay the Aumentado contribution to Bohol, because apart from CPG’s being Bohol’s most illustrious son, no other politician in Bohol can rightfully fit the bill Aumentado holds.
