COMING to the rescue of Health Secretary Esperanza Cabral, World Health Organization (WHO) assured that condoms, when used properly can prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Dr. Soe Nyunt-U, WHO representative in the Philippines, said “the correct and consistent use of good-quality condoms confers a level of protection as high as 85-90 percent against HIV transmission.”
The WHO representative here said male and female condoms, when properly kept, stored, handled and used, are the only scientifically proven barrier products currently available against HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
But even then, Boholano HIV-AIDS advocate Dr. Rene Bullecer earlier said there is only one excellent protection against AIDS: being faithful to the partner.
Acquired Immunity Disease Syndrome is often spread through multiple partners, faulty sexual habits and blood transfusion, Bullecer said. (PIA)

POWER gerenation from Bohol’s hydro-power plants have reportedly decreased due to insufficient water levels that can sustainably spin the turbines.
According the Bohol Electric Cooperative I General manager Carlos Itable, all of Bohol’s hydro electric power supplies decreased its generation due to low water supply.
He said that even the Ewon Sevilla hydro, now operated by Sta. Clara Development has to contend with 580 mega watt power generation output.
Ewon hydro facility is capable to generating 1.2 MegaWatts of power.
Hanopol’s maximum power of 2.5MW is now running at 1.8 MW.
Over this, the PDCC would explore the possibility of asking Salcon Power Utilities to allow the operation of the two standby diesel power plants to supplement the needed power for Bohol. (PIA Bohol)

GOVERNOR Erico Aumentado adeptly steered the Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council (PDCC) to churn up the necessary support for the much needed cloud seeding operations in drought hit-Bohol.
During a meeting March 15, the governor who has been moving allover Bohol expressed alarm at the widespread effects of the El Nino which has now parched not only the harvests and cracked the farmlands but also receded the water levels of Bohol dams to critical point.
Seeing the most immediate need for mitigation, the governor, who also heads the PDCC convened the council to hear out reports from various government and private institutions monitoring the effects of the drought.
The council then passed a resolution supporting the National Irrigation Administration and the governor in its desire to ask the agriculture department for the much needed cloud seeding to to bring out the rains.
The governor has already intimated his desire to have cloud seeding operations here, he shared last Friday. (PIA Bohol)
