Rebel-held Areas “SPIN for Peace”

GOVERMENT and the private sector roll their sleeves against poverty in conflict areas here. In effort to nurture peace, the national government and an investor partners with conflict areas to push a livelihood program that is aimed at keeping poverty off the people’s lives. Poverty has been a convenient hole for the communist rebels to instigate anti-government sentiments especially in far-flung communities. But with the partnership, authorities try to plug poverty with Sub-contracting Partners for Innovation (SPIN) Project, bares Department of Trade and Industry Region 7 head Asteria Caberte. “SPIN used to be a regular out-sourcing program for the rural areas where a handicraft investor partners with communities to weave for his demand, and the communities earn,” Caberte said. Instead of getting their supplies from regular weaving communities, the investor now sub-contracts with partner communities in conflict areas. According to the program, DTI identifies the beneficiary communities based on the military’s list of cleared communities. The investor then sends trainors and spends for raw materials while the trained community delivers the subcontracted volume order. This came as investors still see shortage of weavers amid massive demand for handcrafted materials. The expansion to help conflict areas the military has cleared from rebels grip came into the picture, she explained. Now with Gifts, Toys and Housewares (GTH), and 33.3 exports, both Cebu-based private investors, DTI taps rebel-influenced or threatened communities to do the job. GTH, along with DTI, supplies the skilled trainors to the communities so they can also help us in our product development, Engr. Ramil Bonghanoy of GTH said. “We see it as a noble cooperative effort and we...

PGMA Favors Natural Family Planning

Amidst the growing protest against the proposed Reproductive Health and Population Development Bill, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo made clear her stand on this issue during her State of the Nation Address (SONA) last July 28. In her SONA, the President cited that promoting natural family planning is effective than pushing the artificial birth control method. “By promoting natural planning and female education, we have curbed population growth to 2.04% during our administration, down from the 2.36 in the 1990’s, when artificial birth control was pushed,” said President Arroyo. Hinting that the development of our nation could be affected by overpopulation, she stressed on the role of parents in this concern and the campaign should be on the awareness “of responsible parenthood regarding birth spacing.” “Therefore informed choice should mean letting more couples, who are mostly Catholics, know about natural family planning,” the president stressed. The President’s stand on this issue came timely as more than 15,000 gathered at the St. Joseph Cathedral grounds last July 30, to protest against the proposed House Bill The crowd were mostly students and teachers from the different schools in the city, mandated Church organization, government officials, among others They also called upon Bohol’s three congressmen not to sign the proposed bill in Congress and be consistent pro-life legislators. The activity started with a prayer march from 5 different areas in the city, en route to the Cathedral grounds where a prayer rally was held. Capping the rally was a Holy Mass celebrated by Bishop Leonardo Medroso along with priests and religious from the Diocese of Tagbilaran....
