Ang dalan usab nga gikan sa Mayacabac-Biking nga kasagaran tul-id, mohinay og liko subay sa San Isidro, diin dili makit-an ang kasugat.

Farmers unite for rice genetics, seed-banks
PLAYING the advantage of attaining a record breaking sufficiency levels after decades of rice farming, local authorities hope to sustain the momentum and organizing all rice breeders for both hybrid and certified seeds come next, says Provincial Agriculturist Liza Quirog. Now wanting to take a better grip at the adopted technological edge, she said an organized group sharing each other’s successes and failures can result to even better harvests for Bohol in the future. On this, at the 2009 Sandugo Agri Fair, Quirog said they have deliberately scheduled rice genetics and seed banking forum to exactly keep the farmers in the loop on the developments and motivate them to enhance local rice into high yielding varieties. In tandem with a Mindanao certified seed grower cooperative, the Department of Agriculture and its local counterpart along with Sangguniang Panlalawigan Agriculture Committee Chair Vice Gov, Julius Caesar Herrera would attempt to mold and streamline a local organization to keep track of and facilitate the exchange of technologies among town-based farmers. With the aggressive campaign to make Bohol rice sufficient, the DA through the Agricultural Promotion Center and the local leaders pushed for more support through inputs and fertilizers which farmers can avail at low subsidized costs. Coupled with the abrupt shift to high yielding varieties, farmers achieved flying productivity marks, one most growers are willing to duplicate if not top, this time while demanding for better seeds. The development has also placed most local seed growers into experimenting on varieties that they can grow and keep for the future planting season. In Bohol, we can assure that local growers can now supply...Abapo: anti-swine measures for TBTK-bound Boholanos
HOMECOMING Boholanos attending the biennial Tigum Bol-anon sa Tibuok Kalibutan (TBTK) are still urged to undergo self quarantine proceedings, in the absence of detection facilities here against the dreaded AH1N1 virus, says Provincial Administrator Tomas Abapo. In the same manner, locals who may be exposing themselves to the threat by mingling with homecoming relatives can just exercise the precautionary measures to keep them protected from the virus, according to Atty. Abapo. This week, Bohol has seen the onset of a homecoming crowd from abroad intending to participate in the worldwide gathering of Boholanos to pool investors for locally identified projects for private sector funding. Homing Boholanos from countries contaminated with the dreaded and highly contagious swine flu could indeed be bringing in the virus if they do not follow self-guarantine procedures as suggested by health authorities, a mediaman hinted. Stressing the self-quarantine as a national policy, which the Department of Health (DOH) has instructed, Abapo said it should be applicable to all persons coming from different places abroad and measures for locals. Atty Abapo, who spoke for Governor Erico Aumentado in his weekly the interaction with the media continued on by saying even President Macapagal-Arroyo set the example and has to go through the procedure. President Arroyo, who came from a marathon state visits in Japan, Brazil and Hongkong checked out at the Asian Hospital in Muntinlupa City recently without any signs that she was infected by A(H1N1) virus. While stating not much of local monitors at the ports of entry, Abapo said there is no way Bohol could put up the monitoring system like the thermal scanner which...Market place of products, ideas, techno at Agri Fair
ALSO keeping its vision of transforming Bohol into a strong agro-industrial province, local authorities here put up a marketplace of ideas, technologies and products as well in an easy to find place. Officially opened Friday, July 3, 2009 by no less than Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap, the Sandugo Agri Fair is a month-long one-stop shop for agricultural ideas, technologies and yes, products at farm gate prices, organizers said. This as the Department of Agriculture and its local counterparts cut the ribbons to open the Fair at the Bohol Agricultural Promotions Center grounds. The fair aims to bring in a single location tech-help and allow farmers and sector stakeholders to market share ideas and technologies as well as showcase the best mari-culture from Bohol’s bio-diverse coastal areas and its hard to parallel farmlands. Moreover, it also attempts to open up a web-based menu of services and information for farmer scientists, revealed Provincial agriculturist Liza Quirog during the recent Kapihan sa PIA Thursday. The month-long market place at the grounds of Bohol’s biggest aggie promotion establishment brings to the city, resources for the idea-hungry farmer scientist the technology which should be available at his own bidding, she continued. Aside from marine products like oysters and seaweeds, the agri-fair also brings in best farm produce and even showcases the best processed food products by a technology assistance center managed by the Bohol Chamber of Commerce and Industry, she bared. Quirog explained that with the annual fair, farmers and aggie authorities here wish to bring out to the mainstream markets these products as well as promote for its adoption by presenting leading technologies....Lim: Global warming more serious than waste facility
TAGBILARAN CITY. WHILE most people perceive the garbage problem as the sole responsibility of the city government, City Mayor Dan Lim gingerly shrugs people to reality by showing them a waste treatment facility is not the end all and be all to all problems here. The mayor’s stand goes well with the national government’s programs on informing people about the wide-ranging impacts of the phenomenon and how their action can influence the pace of climate change. The city government’s critics have recently feasted on the touchy issue pointing to the failure of the waste to put up on time the promised waste treatment facility in Taloto. While doing this, most critics follow through with the continued use of the now supposed to be closed Dampas garbage dump by the enactment of a national law on the ecological solid waste management. Now pitted in a serious “damn if you do and damn if you don’t situation,” Mayor Lim said “the environmental problem caused by the absence of a waste treatment facility is a minor one. This he said as he compares the problem to “the slow but inevitable problem caused by the global warming phenomenon.” Speaking to address city residents gathered at the City Hall Atrium during the 43rd anniversary of the city charter, Lim who sees the garbage problem not just as a tree but the whole forest however did not have to elaborate to be sounding self-righteous and accusatory. Giving to the city people enough to think about, his pitch on the global warming phenomenon did touch on the real problem of simply dumping trash. While the city...PNP-7 intensifies campaign against loose firearms
Philippine National Police (PNP) – Central Visayas intensifies campaign against loose firearms as an estimated 52,000 loose firearms are circulating. This is following Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s directive to reduce the number of loose firearms by three percent every month. Loose firearms include those that are being carried by threat groups, criminal gangs, ‘paltik’ holders and those gun owners with expired license, Police Regional Office (PRO-7) Regional Director C/Supt. Lani-O Nerez said. Nerez said it will be the responsibility of the chief of police to ensure that gun owners with expired licenses will renew their license to the Firearms and Explosives Division of PRO-7. After the amnesty period of 6 months, there will be an intensified gun control nationwide and stiffer sanction against violators. PRO-7 Deputy Director for Operations S/Supt. Louie Oppus meanwhile, said they are proposing some areas as ‘gun-free zones’ where police in civilian clothes and even civilians with gun permit are not allowed to carry firearms. Areas that can be classified as gun free zones are those areas frequently visited by local and foreign, according to Oppus. They will likewise endorse the list of recommended gun-free zones to Camp Crame for approval. (PIA/FCR) Click here for full...National News
