US Army to help Bohol in med-vet, civil works
HOPES for new civil works and or medical-veterinary aid springs as a team of army civil military operations experts from the United States Pacific command end a Bohol study visit in the next few days. The team, led by US Army Major David Larson and comprised of 5 more men met Capitol development planners Tuesday to discuss areas of mutual assistance. The team, part of the joint cooperative agreements between the two nations is a part of the standard Balikatan team sent by the US to different areas across the globe, especially to countries sympathetic to the humanitarian cause, a Capitol bigwig who asked not to be identified said. The team came to call on Governor Erico Aumentado accompanied by their counterparts in the Philippine Army, led by Carmen Bohol based 802nd Deputy Brigade Commander Col. Allan F. Martin. Roger Alegado of the local Planning and development Office also briefed the team of the Bohol medium Term Development Plan. This is apparently to give them an idea of the areas where their assistance can come in. Also at the presentation were Provincial health officer Reymoses Cabagnot, Veterinarian Stella Marie Lapiz, social welfare officer Constancia Tunacao, Poverty Reduction Management Officer Antonieto Pernia and Dep-Ed Superintendent Elpedio Jala. “In the next 10 days, we would gather specific information and specific needs of the community and we would be looking at possibilities of putting help on the medical and veterinary services,” US Maj Larson said. “But that does not mean we can not look up to the needs of water projects as presented and other civil works, he was quick to add....CATIGBIAN MEDICAL MISSION: Salinas hails Kapwa, PCSO for serving 1014 indigents
MAYOR Roberto Salinas and local government officials join the Immaculate Concepcion Parish in hailing Kapwa Ko Mahal Ko Foundation Inc. (Kapwa) and the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) for bringing to the interior town free medical and dental mission team. Still struggling to elevate economic conditions of its people and at least raise health services, local officials have said they cant afford a medical mission now that the town is judiciously apportioning its resources for other equally prioritized need. The Kapwa free medical mission filled it all, Mayor Salinas was quick to point out. “It is with highest gratitude that we would like to relay our gratitude to the volunteers and the foundation for considering our town as a beneficiary,” Salinas said in an interview. Three days before the free mission, the town witnessed two key health service infrastructure facility opening ceremonies. The affairs were blessing and capsule laying of the proposed municipal health center/ lying-in clinic and waterworks system in barangay Rizal. Both were envisioned to get the town closer to its dream of upgrading its health services. But even before the town folks could benefit from the activities, the medical mission team and volunteers put up the salvo and dispensed different services to 1,014 indigent residents. About 411 persons had medical check ups, 38 had surgical operations, 167 for either dental extractions or check ups, 251 had optical services while a87 had blood typing and diagnostic services, an after event report said. Catigbian Medical Mission is the Foundation’s 6th mission in Bohol since the past years, sources said. According to the mayor, Kapwa services ranged from medical...BTO, KABOG train local tour guides
Ubay, Bohol. CASCADING skills for tourism stakeholders in communities, the Bohol Tourism Office (BTO) in cooperation with Kahugpungan sa mga Bol-anong Guides Inc. (KABOG) equipped local tour guides of Ubay via a two day tooling workshop held here, September 2-3. The workshop called Community Tour Guide Training was at the Ubay Agri-Park Information and Technology Services Center of the Philippine Carabao Center of the Ubay Stock Farm in Lomangog Ubay town. In the spirit of social responsibility, KABOG is giving back to the community the blessings of tourism and its potential to spur economic activity in the rural areas especially in the farming communities of Ubay, Babog member Christopher Boncales said. Participating in the training were Magsasaka Siyentistas, Farmer’s Information Technology and Services and representatives of local tour operators who earlier intimated their desire to learn frontline operations from government authorities and KABOG practicing tour guides. The training workshop included among others the Bohol Tourism Situationer, Communication Skills Development, the portrait of a Tour Guide, front line service protocols, practical tour guiding techniques, commandments in tour guiding and design and itinerary preparation. The training also includes mock tours, incident dramatizations and field-works to allow locals the full appraisal of the tourism potentials in their vicinity, says KABOG’s Roy Ometer, training designer. We believe that by lending expert support to communities, we can also assist them in shaping people’s mindset and community attitudes to the good things that tourism brings about, says Josephine Cabarrus, BTO officer in Charge. The Capitol BTO tour guide pool includes government based and private freelance tour-guides belonging to the KABOG. Ubay community tourism tooling include...Capitol to sign MOA to turn-over BDRC
BOHOL partially shakes off its burden in running the provincial jail when it inks an agreement with the country’s mandated jailers for a prison management take-over anytime soon. Finally resolving to lighten its load, Capitol is now studying the terms of the agreement with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), in co-managing the Bohol Detention and Rehabilitation Center (BDRC) Atty. Tomas Abapo said Friday. The move came after the Sangguniang Panlalawigan through Vice Governor Julius Caesar Herrera resolved to authorize Governor Erico Aumentado to commence negotiations regarding the turn-over of the BDRC to the BJMP. Governor Aumentado is the provincial jailer here. In a letter to the governor, BJMP Regional Director JCSupt. Doris Remedios Dorigo told local authorities of the pending bills, all to proposing to effectively transfer the provincial and municipal run jails to the jurisdiction of the BJMP, Abapo, who sits as the Provincial administrator shared. Dorico however said pending its approval, the BJMP has a remedy for Bohol; that is to effect a temporary takeover via a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the province and the BJMP. By temporary, BJMP sees three years, renewable until the pending bills take effect. With the agreement, the BJMP uses the BDRC under its own management, but Capitol still puts in the logistical support to run the rehabilitation facility. Moreover, the BJMP reserves the right to retain BDRC personnel who shall qualify the minimum requirements set by existing jail policies. The Capitol however still assigns and details personnel at the BDRC in similar manner that the provincial appropriations for the BDRC would be used by the BJMP, Abapo...City Hall studies move to give insurance to tanods
INSURANCE incentives for barangay tanods? Why not? Seeing the logic behind the move to motivate more police force-multipliers to actively keep crimes at bay in their districts, City Mayor Dan Neri Lim has directed Police Chief Julius Cesar Gornez to study the prospect of giving insurance incentives to barangay tanods hurt in the performance of their duty. With the order given during the recent City Peace and Order Council Meeting (CPOC) at the Sangguniang Panlungsod Session Hall, the city mayor said he wants the city police to submit the study to his office within five days. The provincial Government puts up death insurance to barangay peace officers but this does not cover for the government agent’s hospitalization and other medical benefits in case of job-related accidents, Gornez told the council. This as the city police chief assessed that criminality in Tagbilaran is still manageable, especially wit the 86.98% crime solution efficiency as reported. Despite the relatively high crime solution efficiency, Gornez said he’d bat for improved crime solution efficiency and a faster police response time under his leadership. Over the insinuation that Tagbilaran has become a Sin City, Mayor Lim reasons out that most crimes reported are amicably settled or does not necessarily involve residents. “Seven in every ten cases reported by the media gets amicably settled, so there is apparently no need to read all reports over the radio and put up a negative public perception”, the mayor pointed out. Over all these problems, Gornez still cast his hopes that the community continues its key role in crime prevention. Lim also vowed more police visibility as he shares...National News
