HERO-IN THE MAKING

Without getting noticed by most of electric consumers of MORESCO 1, a hero, their hero is in the making. We are used to getting exposed to modern day heroes live heroes as ball handlers, cue pushers, racket hustlers, singers-dancers and even drug/war lords have become heroes in this otherwise darkened world. They have become electric to fans who consume what they do-give that they don't mind what the results might be in doing so. Here in MISOR a seemingly one-man crusade against moneyed behemoths in MORESCO is moving on. Getting offered millions to belong, to see the other way, to close eyes yet this man stood and still stand his ground. The bad guys are getting electrified by his resistance that seem to feel short circuited. It is hoped that this man gets supported by consumers who care. Ones who care not getting exploited by the some few. Let them support him the live hero of MORESCO, He is Jun Ramos that some people of MORESCO wants him a dead hero.

MANY BUT NONE TO GIVE COMMENT

Choosing mentally fit people here to make comments on being politically-economically correct is somewhat easier, but the problem is people just don't. They prefer to keep mum and stay out of focus. They belong to the so-called silent and pathetic majority. Initao is not without mentally skilled inhabitants. But staying at the sidelines they prefer for according to some, "paglikay'g bikil". Their participation to community development is only on that of being good observers.

MGA PATAY DILI NA MAKABOTAR

Sa pakisayod sa Observer didto sa buhatan sa COMELEC karong bag-o, nahibaloan nga ila na papason ang mga nangamatay nga mga botantes gikan sa listahan. Kini tungod kay maapil man lang gihapon sa ihap kon dili mapapas. Ug ang mga agpas sa uban nga mobotar lang gihapon kini sila bisan mipahulay na kay buhi pa man sa listahan sa COMELEC. Ilang kuhaon ang opisyal report sa LCR aron husto ang ilang basehan pagpanangtang sa mga ngalan sa voters list pagsiguro niini pinaagi sa ilang mga death certificate.

Matud pa niya ila kini sabutan sa konseho aron mahatagan kini sila-maplantsa ang bikil ug masabotsabot kini uban kanila. Mipahibalo man god ang mga CVOs nga mang-resign sila mao nga adunay gamay nga kabalaka nga mitumaw kay bisan layo pa ang sunod eleksyon, maapektahan kini sila sa mao nga isyu kon dili masulbad. Mipasalig ang kapitan nga sulbaron kini nila sa paagi nga malipay ang tanan.

REHISTRO MIUS-OS

Ang tibook nga listahan sa mga botante dre sa Initao miubos. Kini sigun sa kasayuran nga gihatag sa lokal nga buhatan sa COMELEC. Gikan sa 19, 900 ka mga botante, mibos kini ngadto ubos sa 18,000 na lang kay gipangpanas ang mga botante nga wala makabotar sa duha ka beses-duha ka eleksyon nga wala sila mopili ug kandidato wala moadto sa dapit diin unta sila mobotar.

REMINDING IOs

The fight against corruption continues. This is not against the corrupt but on the attitude that plague him or her giving them consciousness that corruption is lethal. Here's why, 1. it is the devil's disease that he contaminates to men so that it destroys the spirit in man; 2. because it is a sin of the spirit, the physical is infected and affected; 3. and because this is so, corruption tints man's genes that are carried over to the first and fourth generations-it is a generational sin that ends in death-spiritual death. To prove this, read your Bible.

SCHOOLARS-IC ENROLLEES

Come school enrolment for Initao college, all Cong. Juliet Uy's schoolars will be there as its students, say Ex-LGOO Vimin Lozano in her home yesterday when the Observer dropped by. Lozano said enrolment continues as people here and outside Initao are moving to qualify IC to a full-time college. It would be a waste of time and energy if the school gets closed, she pointed out, when town officials in the past did their thing to establish it only to shut it down for mere unmet requirements. "Paningkamotan diay, magpalit ug yuta. Maka-afford ang lungsod", she said.

Sa atong paniksik dinhi sa Initao, kinabag-an sa tawo dre nagtuo nga ang politika dula ni satanas mao nga kasagaran midistansya ug nagpabilin nga nagloklok na lamang sa ilang tagsa tagsa ka mga bagal. Kini ang hinungdan ngano nga mga maayong materyales alang sa liderato, makamao, adunay kahibalo, edukado ug angayan sa posisyon nga lider modumili pagkandidato kay lagi mahugaw ang dula. Ug sa utok sa yanong tawo napatik nga ang politika binuang ug kadaghanan kanila gidulaan lamang sa pipila nga anaa sa hut-ong pamolitika-mga politico nga gapulipuli lamang aron sila dulaon. Wala o kulang sa kahibalo nga anaay Diyosnong politika, maoy lintunganay nga hinungdan ngano nga ang mga demonyo nagpatunga kay ang mga angel nagpadaplin. Ang resulta monopolyo sa mga demonyo ang liderato kay ang mga angel dili man mokandidato, kay sa karon nga panahon bisan pa kuno si Kristo ang mokandidato pilde gyud kaayo.

The fire marshal's office of Initao is in need of volunteers, this was known yesterday when the Observer went there to get information on the recent fire that hit the town last Saturday. I was informed that only few extended help and they were there in the scene, tried to put the fire out, did their job and that was it.

INITAO OBSERVERS are encouraged to respond to this call and give themselves some service lift.

FIRE TRUCK-THE ONLY SERVICEABLE IN THE WEST

Just awhile ago, the Observer was in the fire marshal's office asking questions and got some answers from people there. According to them the only fire truck serviceable from Opol to Lugait is Initao's fire truck! This is why Iligan fire truck helped much in controlling the fire and no other except of course the lone operational truck we have which tank can contain only 3,800 liters-so insufficient for that kind of fire the town experienced yesterday. Our local fire volunteers did their share here supplemented by Manticao fire volunteers with their ambulance just in case of any emergency. Investigations are still going on and they are closely determining what really caused the fire.

FIRE RAZED BUSINESS ESTABS

Last year's reports, she pointed out, were not complete and even first quarter this year this is still a problem and this seems not getting corrected by her. And there is that problem on SC funds that she collected from the members that were not returned after she promised to refund them, Magsayo said. It has been known too that the auditor Bebs Montesa has not been auditing funds there since the election of officers last year. Bebs admitted that she had not done so last year even this last three months for being so busy. She is the current barangay secretary of San Pedro. This confirmed what the treasurer Fredis Tan who told the Observer that Montesa did not make any audit since she became auditor.

I withdrew and left bidding him seeing another day.

SITUATIONER

Recently, a member of Initao police force told the Observer that peace and order and investment go together. And he went further explaining that if one is absent from the other, there is no success of a place on developing it economically. Although he is not an Initaonon, he pointed out care and concern for this place. And his recommendation is that leaders here should take note of places that economic boom is the experience.

SENALAC IS OK

MATERIALS-ABOUT COMPLETE

"Gamay na lang gyuy kulang", said Dennis Magsayo when the Observer went to see him in his office last Thursday. He was referring to the materials needed to complete their project for the needed innovation of the room portion for the computers to be donated to them by LBP. The next thing, Magsayo emphasized, is the work proper when carpenters do the job done. They are opting to have it not on a daily wage basis but "Pakyaw", he said.

REMINDER

This is for all INITAO OBSERVERS: We are not against corrupt people. We are separating the person from corruption-separate the man from the attitude. The person is good, the attitude is from outside and acquired. What we try here is to wake up people the dangers of corruption, its lethal effect not only upon themselves but their future generations-siblings are affected. corruption's carry overs are deathly spirit poison.

They still lack some equipment that acquiring is one problem, he also said.

AGRI-FUNDED

In their coco-station in Bgy. Apas yesterday, Municipal Councilor and Initao Agri-Committee Chair of Sanguniang Bayan Penny Buhian said, "Two Hundred Fifty ra jod". She was referring to what the now SB approved budget for agriculture. This was when she responded questions why this was not budgeted for years since the last SB. "Tinoud jod na," she said. Only now, she continued, that from what she proposed of 1.2 million pesos this was reduced to six hundred thousand and this went down further to just that 250k. Kag. Buhian could not answer WHY!

WALA MA-AUDITE

Ang Tesorera sa Senior Citizen sa San Pedro nga si Ginang Fredes Tan sa pakisulti sa Observer kaniya kagahapon didto sa ilang balay nag-ingon nga sukad sa eleksyon sa bag-ong opisyales nadtong miaging tuig wala pa gyud siya ma-audite sa auditor nga si Bebs Montesa. Daghan gastos ang grupo ug kinahanglan matuki kini sigun sa gibuhat nila ni G. Avelino Habagat ug Harry Bagares niadtong miagi nilang pag-meeting. Karong petsa 19 binulan nga meeting, hisgotan na usab kini aron ang mga sulti-sulti sa gawas matubag. Ug maklarohan ang tanan. Sa pagkakaron kasamtangan nga way klarong balansi sa pundo, naa pa bay nabilin o wala na ba.

FUNDS PROBLEM GETTING RESOLVED

San Pedro Senior Citizen Vice President Avelino Habagat told the OBSERVER that due to questions outside about funds being abused have been attended to. In the group's meeting late last year they scrutinized fund flow, and together with Harry Bagares, Habagat questioned the officers involved in the releasing of funds drawn by the president. They knew there were expenses alright,he said. But that must be cleared for the satisfaction of the members, and on the 19th, Habagat continued, and the group's monthly meeting they will try resolved the controversy.

WHY CORRUPTION IS LEAST TOPIC

From former PACD pioneer Pacquito Alavanza's experience in the field with the government, he concluded that corruption is already an ingrained commodity in the Filipino's person. What he stressed out was that every inch of the Pinoy is corrupt that Senator Miriam Santiago's Kliptocacy reference was only a bit of the whole being. "Sa kamot ra na", he said. And corruption is rarely a topic here until Pnoy's "Daang Matuwid" and "Kung walang korap walang mahirap" were pronounced. Why is corruption one least topic discussed? Alavanza's seeing eyes have already arrived magnification of corruption that he seemed to me, in resignation his conclusion was that corruption is nature! And he was just short saying that everybody is plagued of it. People dodge this for at the back of their minds is the realization they are sick with this and they are simply corrupt. From where corruption came? We will know.

RATUNIL CLAN REUNION MADE

The siblings of Escolastico Ratunil and Maria Conog made their reunion this 9th February 2014 in Lim's Beach, Bgy. Gimangpang,this town. Attendance was low, said Clan Assistant Researcher Melody Almeda, "Tungod sa kaapeke sa panahon", she said. The program was started at already eleven. Participants were exposed to just simple presentations as singing, and they were informed of their ascendants by those assigned. Names were exposed and descendants knew who their ancestors were. And they are preparing for their Grand Reunion this coming May, Almeda said. Also according to her, they did not elect officers, incumbents are still new and they will go five years in their positions as agreed by them, she said.

SITUATIONER

It looks thievery, burglary are on the rise here and no accurate reports are available in the local police office nor in barangays. The reason is that people who complained do not officially report incidents of theft due adminisrative expense and bureaucaratic red tape, that they said, they just forgive prefer to forget incidents like this. a retired police officer once said, "wa na koy salig sa police dinhe, sa NBI ko niadto." He was a victim of burglary and break-in. Inland barangay thieves hush this, "mangawat ngani mayor, congressman, senador, kami pa?"

CONTRIBUTION-NECESSARY

Belen Saavedra recently told the Observer that all members or Initaonons that sought membership of Initao Observer should contribute here by way of expressing their opinions, send what they perceive good and even bad to help Initao in its growth and development. That they make comments on what they know for the good of all, not only for the few. Their observations, she pointed out, are necessary this time when events worldwide are getting worst. Initao is no exception, and the youth should rally "alang sa ilang maayong kaugmaon", she said.

MINOR DE EDAD GISIKOP-GIBUHIAN

Di pa dugay didto sa Sitio Cogon, si G. Eustiquio Unabia nag-ingon nga lima ka mga bata nadakpan sa Aluna nangawat ug lubi ug gipasaylo kay mga bata pa. Gisumbong sila sa tag-iya ug naaktohan mao nga gipatawag sa barangay ug gipapirma nga sa sunod wala nay dugay dugay priso na. Tumbok pa ni Unabia, nga karon gumikan sa balaod ni kanhi senador Pangilinan nga walay mga bata mapriso bisag nakasala o nakaapil sa krimen. Pero sigun sa korte, puede na sila prison tungod kay amendado na ang maong balaod. Ug sila adto ibutang sa buhatan rehiyonal sa DSWD. Ang upat ka mga bata nag-apelyido ug Tacbobo ug ang usa Oguimas, matud pa ni Unabia.

PUNDO-PANGITAON PA

Kwarta alang sa pagpundar sa kasiguruan sa mga computers gikan sa DEPED Central nga i-donate dre sa San Pedro Elementary School pangitaon pa ug kini mokabat sa dose mil pesos. Ang mga ginikanan sa mga elementary pupils nagtampohay ug ang uban nag-solicit sa mga tawo nga may kahingawa sa pagtabang. Target sa solicitation kanunay mga politiko. Ug manghatatag man pod ni sila kay mangahadlok ma-one term para sa mga bag-o o last term sa mga nakalingkod na.

PCs FOR SAN PEDRO EXPECTED

In a meeting this afternoon with the GPTA, the Principal of San Pedro Elementary School Dennis Magsayo announced that 300k worth of computers are about to be given to the school. And that he said, what is required is the PC room the GPTA must prepare soonest to qualify receiving them. The Room must be secured that the computers may be safe from thieves, and concreting parts of the room is necessary, he said. Magsayo urged the parents to make do with what contribution they can give for the realization of this opportunity that needs not pass by. "Alang ni sa mga bata nga dili ma-iwit sa kahibalo paggamit sa computers".

OBSERVER-SINGLED OUT

Yesterday, 03 February 2014 at 1:35pm, along Osmena St. in Cagayan de Oro, I was flagged down by traffic enforcer Arniel Salon who told me to move roadside of Hayes St. the motorcycle I was riding. I asked him what for? He said I was running counter to NO ENTRY section and he issued me traffic citation ticket. While he was writing, I asked him, "Nganong wa man nimo dakpa tong gisundan nako nga puti nga awoto?", Salon answered,"Sa ako na tong mga kauban." I went to RTA office after his direction and knew that I have to pay 1500php for the traffic violation. I thought I was not entering a ONE WAY section, I was behind a white car. This traffic enforcer was violating traffic rules too by singling me out and letting the driver of that white car go away. And he thinks he can go away with this!

HE IS BEHOLDEN TO THEM

Ex Local Government Operations Officer Vimin Lozano recently told the Observer that Paquito Alavanza cannot just walk away from the Acains. He is beholden to them for past favors that his comments must be that defensive, he cannot be the admin's critic even criticize constructively. And she graded Gogoy 6 in the scale of 10 the way he administers Initao. "Palibot sa munisipyo mahugaw".

DIGGINGS FOLLOWED-UP

Initao ex-kagawad Belen Saavedra paid a visit to the Observer this afternoon and gave information on diggings done in the catholic cemetery here that is said for treasure hunting. She said she went to offices as the MHO, IPO, the Mayor's Office, and the office of the barangay captain of San Pedro to follow-up what she reported to them last January 3, that people who do not possess permit for the diggings, are even today continue to make their dig even more-that when she visited the graves of her relatives there, it stinked and she nearly vomited. "why is there no one arrested?", she complained. She said she overheard a police officer saying that people were already summoned but released. Saavedra said they were not told to sign papers for them to stop the diggings. "They must have protectors".

MOTORISTA NADISGRASYA

Report nadawat sa Observer nga batan-ong nagmotor nga mipahaguros didto sa dalan padulong kamelon atubangan sa Initao Central School, nakabangga ug mag-asawa uban sa ilang gamay pa nga anak nga nagmotor usab nga nakaangkon ug mga pangos sa nagkadaiyang parte sa lawas. Sigun sa report gidala sa Cagayan de Oro ang batan-on nga delikado ang kahimtang ug giingon usab walay lisensya sa pagmaneho ug ang gidala nga motor expired na ang rehistro.

ADMINISTRASYON LISUD PILDIHON

Ang karon nga admin tungod kay "dynasty", lisud gyud mapukan, kini maoy tumbok ni G. Paquito Alavanza sa dihang nahinabi sa Observer di pa dugay didto sa iyang balay. Matud pa niya, gisugdan kini sa apohan unya sa anak, karon apo, nakagamot na'g ayo, balete na nga nakatapot sa tugas. Ang balete daghan ug gamot ug namitay ang uban bisag mamatay ang tugas daghan na ang nakapotan sa mga gamot ug lisud na gyud ang balete patyon. Hinoon, si Alavanza nagpasabot nga dili man pod imposible nga mapukan ang admin ni Gogoy kay daghan na man dynasties nga nabugto nga atong nahibaloan. Ug nga ang problema nga ang mobatok, anaa ba kaniya ang una: tugbang kwarta, ikaduha: kaisog-Duterte style, ikatulo: tanang himan sa politika nga magamit ug gamiton gyud, goons ug guns.

CORRUPTION-INGRAINED

It's already ingrained in the mind of the Filipino, said the veteran PACD frontliner Paquito Alavanza, who pointed out to the Observer in his home Wednesday, the disease of corruption that plague the country. From the field as organiser of barangays then to Malacanang, his experience in government service tells him that his observation counts, he stressed. Senator Miriam Santiago's description of kliptocracy is only of the hands, but corruption is of the head, the eyes, hands, feet, everything, Mr. Alavanza said. The seriousness of this, he emphasized, is seemingly for him impossible to be remedied. And on being politically correct, "it depends on who make the comments and what/where he stands for", he said.

BALURAN DECLINED TO COMMENT

In his home this afternoon, the Observer was given the chance to ask ex-budget officer of Initao Rudy Baluran some simple questions about the town's current events. what he did was to excuse himself from controversies that may arise if he extend and give his opinions on topic as being politically correct. He only cited his accomplishments when he was still in his prime working in the local government, and that "What I did there and then, let them speak for themselves", he said.

SITUATIONER

People say that a prisoner of BJMP here, one Palin Tacbobo-Ubanan, resident of Bgy. San Pedro who was arrested drug pusher, did not go back but escaped with ten thousand pesos intended purchase money for food of BJMP personnel and prisoners. Last night, they say, police elements and others were monitoring the vicinity for her re-arrest but she is nowhere to be found or caught. "Tua na tos Marawi", one said.

SMALL BUSINESS-VERY HOT

A resident here who does not want identified pointed out businesses inside the hospital here. He said that these have been there quite a long time already and it aggravated after the May election to be accurate. If you will notice, he continued, the water dispenser by the door of the nurse's station and the coffee dispenser at the lobby of the Admin, those are samples. And not only these, medical supply stocks as dextrose are having higher turn-overs and automatic have higher returns too. "Gamay ra na tan-awon pero dagko ug boto". " "Small business ra na, pero init kaayo". Mga empleyado nagnegosyo sa sulod hayahay kaayo.

SITUATIONER

A taxi driver confided to the Observer that the local hospital of Initao is notoriously known for questionable under-services that he stopped bringing any member of his family there whenever one of them gets sick. This is because, he said, he had to bring her wife to Manticao after he felt bad what attitude employees of hospital showed them. Another father said, his son nearly died after injected with expired medicine there that his blood pressure rose so that he kicked chairs, doors there. Thus was when he saw his son had a high fever and was having tremors they can't control. During that incident, he continued, of the six children under their care, one died. "Ayaw na ninyo'g dad-a diha, (pasyente)didto na mo dretsos Manticao", the taxi driver said. A mother said,"maayo pa na hospitala sirhan". A Poblacion resident added that whenever one of his children gets sick, he had to bring him/her to Iligan City.

REPORTING-UNCOORDINATED

Earlier this afternoon in her office Initao BJMP Chief Grace Manaya lamented that due to the absence of good coordination between them and the Rural Health Officer, SOCO came to investigate on the case of a prisoner who was said died after getting mauled by guards. Under the shadow of suspicion, Dr. Sarah Jane Lagamon at first did not readily signed the death certificate of the victim until her condition of Medico Legal gets conducted. "Nianhi unta siya dres amoa, duol ra man kaayo", maistoyahan unta, Manaya said. We know our responsibility of taking care of our prisoners, their rights for us to protect and what else. What happened was that people also suspected us of foul play, she stressed. They were exonerated when SOCO reported favorably for BJMP.

WHY CORRUPTION KILLS

If the pork barrel scam exposy shocked us, and Yolanda's show of force left us with questions asked, corruption should awestruck us more. Here's why. 1. Corruption is politically lethal; 2. It is economically undermining; and 3. spiritually destructive. Where in the world we go to prove this? The Bible is the best source of proofs that this is so. But if you choose "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by William Shirer, you'd glean valuable proofs to ponder there. But the Bible points out the destruction of the twelve tribes of Israel, the so-called Chosen People of God. What remained is just Israelis, remnants of two tribes of Benjamin and Judah. And what remained of their promised land is just what this people now occupies. Larger portion of that are and have become Arab lands. Because corruption is one spiritual disease, it is more lethal than physical. It kills the spirit in you, your passage to eternal inheritance with God. And when your spirit dies, your body dies with it. You'd be twice dead!

BIN-NOT EFFECTIVE

last week, in his office MPDC Ariel Galarroza said that crime prevention concern is most answered if the barangay information network(BIN) is to be utilized. But because of being "parochial", he pointed out, this is not so. Being parochial means network members are relatives of politicians and are vulnerable to having blind eyes and deaf ears! They may be seeing and hearing crimes committed right on their very noses but they won't report or testify, rendering BIN ineffective.

BARANGAY OFFICIALS LOOK EXEMPTED

Yesterday in the local Office of the COMELEC, the new Initao Municipal Election Officer Ma. Lorie Toledo read a COMELEC en banc resolution that elected officials from up down to municipal level are subject to fines of one to 30 thousand pesos for failure to file their election expenditures as required. It may be recalled that last year, COMELEC Chairman Sixto Brillantes told the press that those who failed must stepdown from their occupied positions but over-ruled by the Supreme Court. Toledo cited the exemption of barangay officials from the ruling. But if there are complaints, she said, these will be treated by the legal department of the COMELEC central office.

ABC MEETING KNOWN

Association of Barangay Captains meets second Tuesday every month in SB Session Hall said yesterday Poblacion BC Engracio Galarroza. He told the Observer that formerly they met twice a month but this newly installed officials after the barangay elections agreed to meet only once. This time, the following are the new ABC Officers: President-Guiles Waslo, Vice-Hadie Acain, Secretay-Carlos Balabat,Treasurer-Alma Acain, Auditor-Eve Sacay.

REPORT- DISPROVED

INITAO, MISAMIS ORIENTAL-The said ten year absence of municipal agricultural plan for Initao is not true, said this afternoon AGM2 Eric Capinpuyan. He told the Observer that they in the Municipal Agriculturist office have been submitting this annually and that for this year 2014, he was the one who prepared and submitted that sometime October last year. And that they were since receiving provincial and regional support for their local programs and projects. What is true though, Eric emphasized, was the LGU's sin of omission and commission in providing and allocating funds for their local agricultural programs. Last year, he said, only 50k was allocated for them and this was not enough even for their animal health or for the livestock program. "what about for the crops?", Eric asked. They have files in their computer that they have not been remiss on what was and are required of them, Eric said.

PRISONER-NOT MAULED

This afernoon, in the office of the local BJMP, Grace Manaya's assistant SJO2 Kirt Pacana told the Observer that prisoner Ronito Labadan was not in any way harmed by guards as reported he was. This was corroborated, Pacana pointed out, with SOCO's findings when the Municipal Health officer at first refused to sign Labadan's death certificate. SOCO reported no foul play, Pacana continued, and that not even a single pinch was found done, he said. Their investigation report says that at that instance, when other inmates noticed Labadan had the hard time breathing, the guards brought him to the nearby hospital but declared dead on arrival(DOA) by the attending physician Dr. Anthea Tamundong. The official report reads, "due to cardio pulmonary arrest secondary to congestive heart failure to coronary artery disease".

TANAN SEMENTOHON

Di pa dugay didto sa iyang opisina ang Planning Officer sa lungsod sa Initao nga si Ariel Galarroza nag-ingon nga ang tanan dalan nga giplanohang ayuhon niadtong maiging tuig, karon sementohon ang tanan. Ang World Bank, matud pa niya, nga mihimo ug evaluation sa mga dalang nasugdan ug wala mangahuman, mirekomenda nga kini sementohon na lang gayud. Ipaagi na man pod kini sa proseso sama sa bidding. Hinoon si Galarroza wala miingon nga malangan na pod kini moabot na didto sa panahon sa eleksyon.

INITAO HAS NO MAP

Seven years ago to be exact, in 2007, the then SP member Pepito Gambe revealed during the May election campaign that Initao has no Municipal Agricultural Plan. It seems people, particularly farmers/voters were not able to hear him! The revelation was seemingly nothing to them that largely even today, Initao does not have it! This was confirmed by no other than the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator Ariel Galarroza who told the Observer that of his consolidated planning for the municipality, none for agriculture. The Municipal Agriculturist Tata Carbonilla for ten years did not submit one, he said. And that of the province of Misamis Oriental only Initao does not have and did not submit the Municipal Agricultural Plan, Gambe said. When asked, "Unsa may alas ni Tata nga gipasagdan man niya na ug ang mayor wala man maggunok?" "That is between them", the MPDC answered.

SPIRITUALITY-BASIS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE-II

Initao Ex-town councilor Belen Saavedra cited spirituality as basis for good governance and that with this, she said, a leader can be politically correct. Not only this but socially, and economically, she pointed out. This is because, she continued, a leader will make God the center of his leadership. And when this is in-place, automatic other considerations fall in line, she said. "Do you know why I get myself involved in the community? I am already 73 years old and this is my last hurrah". She likes remembered doing good things for her town when she leaves.

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

'NOT ALL OF US CAN DO GREAT THINGS. BUT WE CAN DO SMALL THINGS WITH GREAT LOVE". Mother Teresa

SPIRITUALITY-BASIS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE

This morning, in their home, 73 year old and Ex-town councilor Belen Saavedra told the Observer that when leadership is spiritually based, comes proper governance,one that is "for the people, of the people and by the people". This kind of governance, she continued, is an enlightened one and the leader is also one that is politically correct. None can be like this if a leader is like what we have these days when administrators are lords and the people servants. There is that need to establish moral infrastructures to reverse this kind of leadership, she said. "We need social transformation with spirituality as basis". For if the leader doesn't have this, he is surely ridden with pride, greed and self-denial is absent, she added. Asked,in the scale of 10, how she rates Gogoy as administrator, she gave him 6.

POLITICALLY CORRECT-WHAT?

If a leader gets 80% of his prowess as manager of say, local governance, he must be politically correct! This is the opinion of Initao's Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator Ariel Galarroza. In a semi-informal talk with him yesterday in his office, he pointed out to the Observer things a local leader should attain as he or she does the tasks of on-job exposure to please not only him/herself but his constituencies. He must be adept to things like administration, human resource development, fiscal management, plans and programs implementation, etc. It is hardest on the impelementation aspect, he said, for it is here that most administrators fail or get some kind of failure.

FOOD COURT OCCUPIED

Spaces of Initao's newly finished Food Court that was originally funded at .5M has been granted to privare businessmen and although it has not been fully occupied by them, it is said that it is already full, only some still wait to have their debt balances get settled that their spaces get serviceable to the public. As of this writing, the court is still a wide space with vacancies to fill. It has two wide flat TV screens that get your attention while you eat your snacks or regular meals. MPDC Ariel Galarroza recently said that the actual over-all funding of this building may be known from Acting Municipal Engr. Russel Bangalao.

GOGOY GRADED

Like pupils and students are graded according to their performance in schools, administrators are either openly or otherwise graded by people who know them. And this morning the Observer asked the Municipal Planning and development Coordinator of Initao how would he grade the Mayor in the scale of ten. Mr. Ariel Galarroza though reluctantly give Mayor Gogoy the following: 1. Human Relations-10 ,2. Administration-8, 3. Human Resource Management-6,Environmental Concern-5. When asked why he gave him 10 to human relations, Galarroza reasoned, "manggiluy-on". When reminded that this kind of unbalanced human tendency recoil with negative effects as mendicancy, he answered, that by telling people not only to give fish at times but teaching them how to fish that they may have fish all the time, there can be some change.

GOGOY-COMING HOME

The mayor is definitely coming home after spending the holiday seasons with his wife in the states, this was what a local officer said in his office this morning. By next week or maybe tomorrow, he can be here,he said. People are expecting him and that there are things to be done that need his presence. He will be here in time, he pointed out.

CABUNOC RETIRED

Dina Cabunoc has retired, this was known by the Observer when in the COMELEC office this morning. Her retirement was effective the last day of last year and her replacement also took over that position she left, that of Municipal Election Officer. According to our source, the new MEO is Ma. Lourie N. Toledo, from Cagayan de Oro. And effectivity of her assumption of office was January 1, 2014.

REMINDER TO IOs

This to make IOs remember the motto: "WE OBSERVE TO SERVE". To move even a little from just being a member, as observers, we move towards becoming participants. And as such, we are expected to know what your observations are of Initao-in your sorroundings, your sitios, your barangays, your officials and almost everything, take note and let us know. Email us and we will share information with Initaonons here and abroad. And INITAO OBSERVER is open to comments. We encourage good ones and constructive. we build up not destroy.

300 MARK PASSED

December 25, 2013 marked the day when the 300th applicant for membership to Initao Observer was approved. And it's still growing, other Initaonons are still applying. This could reach 500 if interested and concerned people from this place will participate in the political, economic and spiritual development of Initao. These cannot be done by one man but by the collective efforts of Initaonons that have the vision to change what need to be changed. SHALDY TOO is the 300th and Blessel Mordeno Sobremonte was the last applicant for 2013. She applied 31st and last day of that year. From the first day of this year, five more applied in addition to that. all in all there are now 310 IOs.

TACLOBAN TRIPPED

With Morex last Sunday the 29th December 2013, the Observer motored the route to Tacloban City via Benit, San Ricardo. That was a two hour run being first timer and familiarization of the 104 kilometer distance from where the roro embarked. After jogging the San Juanico bridge for 15 minutes and upon return to Surigao City the next day, a cousin asked, "How is Tacloban?", my answer was this, "It is a picture of devastation, an illustration of death and destruction". Advent Christian Pastor and Mrs. Jesse Cases pointed out buildings and places where dead corpses were uncovered. Pastor Jesse agreed that it was "water baptism" for Tacloban and he said it is now a "new creation, or/and open city". Reconstruction and rebuilding are underway.
