KIDAPAWAN City––With the upcoming Power Summit on April 13, the 33-member Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Coopera-tives (Amreco) said it will present its position paper to help in finding solution to the power problem in the region.

In its recommenda-tion, the Mindanao power cooperatives demand for “transparency” which will require knowledge of the public on the data of what

Nuclear plant eyed as solution to power crisis

Business executives in Kidapawan City and leg-islators said they would support the construction of a nuclear plant in Mindanao if it could guarantee cheaper electricity cost.

“If putting up a nuclear power plant could bring down electricity cost to P2.50 per kilowatt hour, we will support its construc-tion,” stakeholders said.

At present, power barges are charging P14.00 per kilowatt-hour which is too expensive, Ramon Floresca, president of the Kidapawan Chamber of Commerce and Industry said.

Agham party-list Rep. Angelo Palmones said that ‘ Mindanao subscribes to the

THE Trade Union Congress Party (TUCP) slammed the proposed Department of Energy (DOE) fast-tracking and expedited approval by the Energy Regulatory Com-mission (ERC) of the pend-ing contracts and tariffs be-tween the Aboitiz-Therma Marine power barges and the electric cooperatives

The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, the worst nuclear accident in 25 years, displaced 50,000 households after radiation leaked into the air, soil and sea. Radiation checks led to bans of some shipments of vegetables and fish.

Group slams energy department over expensive power solutions A NUCLEAR power plant (NPP) is a

thermal power station in which the heat source is one or more nuclear reactors.

As in a conventional thermal power station the heat is used to generate steam which drives a steam turbine connected to a generator which produces electricity.

As of February 2, 2012, there were 439 nuclear power plants in operation through the world.

Nuclear power plants are usually considered to be base load stations, which are best suited to constant power

output.Electricity was generated by a nuclear

reactor for the first time ever on December 20, 1951 at the EBR-I experimental station near Arco, Idaho in the United States.

On June 27, 1954, the world’s first nuclear power plant to generate electric-ity for a power grid started operations at Obninsk, USSR.

The world’s first commercial scale power station, Calder Hall in England opened in October 17, 1956.

QUICK FACTS

MINDANAO executives and stakehold-ers welcome plans to construct a nuclear plant in Mindanao in order to address power shortage in the island.

construction of a nuclear plant to liberate the island people from six to eight hours daily blackouts.’

Former Pangasinan Rep. Mark Cojuangco, who au-thored in the 14th Congress a resolution seeking the revival of the controversial Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP), said local officials in the affected power short-age in Mindanao were con-vinced that nuclear power plant is the solution to their power problem.

He said he met with the governors, congressmen and mayors of Pagadian in Zamboanga, Koronadal, General Santos and Davao del Sur last week and that

that the President is being badly advised by the DOE Secretary. The proposal which involves approval of the generation charge of Aboitiz of P14 per kilowatt hour (kWh) will now pave the way for an expensive tariff regime in Mindanao,”

said TUCP Rep. Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza.

Mendoza explained that this will impact only the smaller cities and rural areas serviced by electric cooperatives and not on the largest cities.

REPRESENTATIVE Rufus B. Rodriguez of the second District of Cagayan de Oro City answers questions on House Bill 5624 (AN ACT ESTABLISHING THE CAREER EXECUTIVE SYSTEM) of which he is one of the main authors. The bill establishes a Career Executive Sys-tem, which would provide the public sector with a well-selected and development-oriented corps of public managers who possess the necessary expertise and responsive leadership that will serve as a stabilizing force and instrument for change in the civil service. The bill was approved by the House on 3rd reading and transmitted to the Senate.

avai lable supply is , among the contracted ca-pacity from the generators with the National Power Corporation (Napocor).

Transparency also re-quires knowledge on dai-ly basis as to what is the available supply that the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) can dispatch, be that power supply contracted by Na-pocor or otherwise, and on what is actually with-drawn by the customers -- to show who may have wittingly or unwittingly withdrawn more than what

is contracted.The Amreco also re-

jected moves to privatize the state-run Agus and Pulangui hydro-electric plants, saying it could complicate the peace and security in the area.

In its position paper, the Amreco said the planned privatization “will endan-ger and exacerbate hostility to the hydro plants by the people in the communities adjacent to Lake Lanao, where the Agus draws it water source; and Pulangui River in Bukidnon.”

The Maranao folk of La-nao del Sur and Lanao del Norte had been claiming their share from revenues

generated by the Agus hy-dropower plants while the lumad of Bukidnon wanted the government to com-pensate them for the use of the Pulangui River.

Both hydropower sys-tems were being run by Napocor.

Energy Undersecretary Josephine Patricia Asirit earlier said the Depart-ment of Energy (DoE) had asked for a deferment of the privatization of the Agus-Pulangui hydro-electric plant in deference to Con-gress, which will decide on the privatization.

Senator Francis Joseph Escudero, a member of the joint congressional

power commission, said the commission will meet on April 19 to discuss the power crisis in Mindanao and resolve the privatiza-tion issue.

Senator Sergio Osmena III, the commission’s chair-man, said a joint resolution by the House of Represen-tatives and the Senate will be needed to approve the privatization.

“We are in consultation with Congress,” he said.

Asirit said power barges would be deployed to Min-danao to produce an extra 120 megawatts (MW) since the Agus-Pulangui plants, which produce 180 MW, would be shut down for

repairs starting April 17.She, however, said us-

ing the Iligan diesel plant and power barges would mean the power rates in Mindanao would go up by 50 to 80 centavos per kilowatt-hour.

“Unpopular decisions have to be made to solve the power situation in Min-danao. It is inevitable. We have to address the shortage in power,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Amreco lauded the energy depart-ment for issuing DoE Cir-cular No. DC2012-03-0004 directing compliance with the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2011 (EPI-RA) to address the power

supply situation, including the rationalization of the available capacities in the Mindanao Grid.

The Mindanao electric cooperatives also agreed to continue dialogues and consultations with the stakeholders, government sectors and the general consuming public to find more appropriate solutions in the short, medium and long terms for the power situation in the region.

The group also calls for the creation of a “Mindanao Power Plan” with the end view of looking at available solutions to avoid recur-rence of power shortage. philippine news agency

CARMEN, Agusan del Norte––Land cracks in Sitio Ta-ao, Barangay Rojales in Carmen, Agusan del Norte still pose grave danger to some 600 residents directly aff ected by the phenomenon, top village offi cials of Rojales admit.

The long, curvy land cracks that originated down a hill traversing the moun-tainous portion of Sitio Ta-ao overlooking more than 200 houses with some 600 individuals were found to have gone deeper, wider and longer aft er the 6.9 magni-tude earthquake in Negros last February 6.

Barangay Rojales chair-

Labor Secretary Rosa-linda Dimapiliz-Baldoz said that the Regional Tri-partite Wages and Produc-tivity Board (RTWB) in Region 12 approved the new wage hike order.

“Considering that the last wage order was issued more than one year ago and there being no petition, the wage board resolved to review, motu proprio, the existing minimum wage rates in the region and decided on an increase,” she added.

Land cracks continue to endanger some 600 villagers in Agusan Norte

man Ricardo Lauro and barangay kagawad Rolando Claro admitted diffi culty in relocating the 400 residents directly affected by land cracks, saying majority of the residents won’t agree with the relocation plan due to livelihood, land and home ownership issues.

Th e residents have been in the area for decades.

“We already have reloca-tion site but they complained it is far from their means of livelihood thus they decided to stay even if they knew of the danger,” Claro and Lauro told PNA in an interview at their residences here.

Th e two offi cials admitted

the land cracks and sink-holes grew longer, wider and deeper. Th ey said every time there is continuous rain they issued warnings for evacuation.

“Th e rain waters accumu-lated atop the mountainous areas in Sitio Ta-ao where there are land cracks and sinkholes may caused severe landslides that may washed away houses below, that’s what we are afraid of since weather nowadays changes abruptly from sunny to rainy weather. Very unpredictable.” the two offi cials said.

They added sudden earthquakes may also bury houses due tension cracks.

In the February 2, 2012 survey conducted by joint fact fi nding team from Mines and Geo-Sciences Bureau, the local DENR offi ce and personnel from local gov-ernment unit of Carmen, Agusan del Norte, the ver-tical displacement of land cracks were only measured at 1.2 meters with 62.3 meters in length.

But the two barangay offi cials who measured the land cracks three weeks ago said the vertical displace-ment of the land cracks has now reached to 9.6 meters and the length to about 200 meters.

In the February 9, 2012

letter of MGB-Caraga Re-gional Director Engr. Alilio Ensomo to Barangay Rojales local government unit re-ceived only recently read as follows: “the potential for landslide damming at the upstream stretch sudden breaching of which could cause fl ash fl ood and mud-fl ow.”

Th e government team’s recommendation in their February 2, 2012 geo-hazard assessment says ”nevertheless sudden increase/decrease of Ta-ao Creek level during heavy and sustained rainfall shows unusual turbidity and occurrences of heavy loads which are precursor signs of

impending fl ash fl ood and should be monitored by con-cerned barangay and purok offi cials as basis for issuance of evacuation orders.”

According to the two village offi cials, the second time MGB and DENR offi -cials visited Barangay Rojales was last April 3 where the agencies recommended tree planting program in land crack area. But the two vil-lage offi cials said that tree planting may be already too late to prevent mudfl ows and landslides. MGB officials also suggested benching as an option but must be well planned and well craft ed.

All From Prayers From simple prayers, sometime in December of 1989, God answered Ella to bake her great grand-mother’s bread for a hobby, and that is PASTEL. PASTEL is a Spanish term for CAKE. By our ingenuity in grammar, PASTEL has long been called in English, as a soft dough coffee bun whom the Spaniards has generously taught our an-cestors and made PASTEL as part of a Camiguing-non’s delicacy. This made PASTEL a common treat in the tables of the affluent Camiguingnon’s of the time, especially during special gatherings and occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, fiestas, Christmas and the likes. Eleanor Popera Jose, a true blooded Camigu-

ingnon, was the first to commercialize PASTEL on January 8, 1990 from what was left of her husband’s Christmas bonus, thus dated the beginnings of VjANDEP PASTEL (pronounced with silent “j”, which stands for Virgilio Lose and Eleanor Popera). The initial capital of P120.00 has yielded three dozens of the said buns which doubled the following day and onwards. It was just simply a hobby at first, until Ella saw a great potential in the product,

thus, she continued produc-ing PASTEL up to this date. PASTEL originally has “yema” (custard) for its fill-ing. But during the summers of 1990 to 1993, Ella learned from culinary and baking workshops the rudiments and techniques of baking. She then reformulated the PASTEL to what is now the pillar of coffee bun taste. Today, the VjANDEP PASTEL OF CAMIGUIN has 12 varieties of fillings to satisfy the fancy of your taste buds.

THINK a minute.There was a baker who

bought his butter from a local farmer.

One day the baker de-cided to weigh the butter.

He was surprised that the farmer had been giving him less butter but still charging him the same price.

The baker got very an-gry! He told the farmer he was a dishonest crook and took him to court.

In court the judge asked the farmer: “Do you have measuring weights and scales?

The farmer answered no. So the judge asked: “Then how do you weigh the pound of butter you sell to the baker?”

The farmer said: “When

‘Bread and butter’

the baker started buying butter from me I wanted to help him too, so I started buying his bread for my family. Since then I’ve been using the baker’s 1-pound loaf of bread as the weight to measure my butter. So if the weight of the butter is wrong, that means the baker has been dishonest and selling less than a full pound loaf of bread to me!”

Many of us are quick to

see the faults and wrongs of others, but we’re slow to see and admit our own.

In fact, many times we draw attention to other people’s problems and faults precisely because we don’t want to face our own.

We think we’re wise experts at knowing what’s wrong with everyone else, yet we’re completely blind to our own weaknesses and

character flaws.But even if that other

person does have some-thing wrong with them, our own wrong of judging them can be even worse than what we’re judging them for!

This is why Jesus Christ warned us that we will end up being judged by the same judgment we made on someone else!

But if we will honestly admit to Jesus what’s wrong with our own character and way of living, Jesus will forgive us and give us His inner power.

He can start fixing and changing our heart, so we’ll be free to genuinely love others instead of looking for their faults.

Just Think a Minute.

The alliance of these two major political parties will also have repercussion in local politics.

Obviously, the local political fracas in an elections scheduled midterm next year is a prelude for the Presi-dential elections in 2016. It is most certain that the result of the 2013 local election will decide the probable winner in the Presidential elections in 2016, too.

Thus, the merger of PDP-Laban and PMP politi-cal parties, now known as United Nationalist Alliance (UNA, was a strategic move to consolidate the opposi-tion’s political power against the ruling and incumbent Liberal Party (LP).

The Liberal Party, however, is not going to take things lightly with what the PDP-Laban and PMP had done. Certainly, the LP leadership is now entertaining options to make the playing field equal, if not better, than with the political opposition.

LP knows of various options. At the time of this

Marriages and alliances in politicswriting, it could be that LP and other political parties such as the Cojuangco-led Nationalist People’s Coali-tion (NPC) already made a deal. Alternatively, was the idea of a PDP-Laban-PMP merger could have been an offshoot of an earlier unannounced LP-NPC coalition?

Political observers believed that the LP-NPC coalition is not new. In fact, Cojuangco contributed P100 million to finance President Aquino III’s presidential campaign in 2010. It was enough to prove that an unwritten re-lationship between LP and NPC already existed at that time. It was one of the reasons of NPC’s ripped off.

What would be the effects of these political changes with the Villar- led Nationalista Party (NP)? Considered as one of the worthy political contenders, the NP is also political dark horse. With a record of accomplishment that influenced the development of the country’s politi-cal history, NP is unpredictable.

The NPC’s splintered group could also put up an alliance with NP come 2013 election. Without doubt, the Villar-led NP learned a thousand lessons during the presidential election two years ago. One of NPs handi-caps was the inability of its key leaders’ to differentiate corporate campaign from political campaign.

Sen. Manny Villar thought that managing corporate affairs is the same as managing political affairs. He was incorrect. Learning from those blunders, NP should re-engineer its political machine. Otherwise, NP may just hang its gloves come 2013 election.

EDUCATION/PAGE 7

ENTREPRENEURSHIP has become the famous term in universities recently. Since a long time ago, most higher education institutions (HEIs) have been busy with teach-ing their students to become scientists rather than entre-preneurs. Unfortunately, this long process of education is now creating problems.

Since the free trade was implemented—and up to now—not all of the nations have been ready to face such a common economic agree-ment. This applies, especially the developing countries that are lack of human capitals such as technical expertise and entrepreneurs. Yet, this condition calls all HEIs to introspect themselves why this can happen.

In Indonesia, the department of education has pro-posed entrepreneurship to be included in the curriculum since about ten years ago. This is due to the fact that the free trade area, such ASEAN free trade area, can lead the unprepared nation into danger. One of the impacts is the domestic products produced by this nation will become the losers.

The winner products are always from the nations that have been prepared with their human resources. They are the skilled human resources and the so-called human

Education for Entrepreneurshipcapital. Therefore, they produce good quality products. They can also sell their products better with their skills. In that case, the manufacturers of being the losers will inevitably go out of business. The most dangerous effect is the economic crisis in such nations.

Due to the situation caused by the unprepared na-tion in increasing the quality of human capitals, the universities are now altering the curriculum by adding some materials related to one of them is entrepreneur-ship. In which part of universities can entrepreneurship materials be included?

It is widely known that in Indonesia, HEIs have three-pillars of activities. One is teaching and learning or education process or activities. Second pillar deals with research activities. And, third concerns the com-munity services or social services. Among the three pillars, entrepreneurship is commonly inserted in the third pillar that is in the community services.

In practice, the entrepreneurship tends to be the domain of the section of the center for research and community services (or implementers). Therefore, the students have been predominantly in this section when they are expected to become entrepreneurs. They should be trained and educated in this process or third pillar.

Entrepreneurship has not yet been strongly imposed like other materials or subjects studied in HEIs. In other words, the implementation of the curriculum to create entrepreneurs is not fully emphasized. When this cir-cumstance is not paid attention by the government or

IN order to plan treatment for a patient’s anxiety, a doctor may ask questions about the patient’s symptoms, such as :

• Have you had any of the following symptoms since your cancer diagnosis or treatment? When do these symptoms oc-cur (i.e., how many days prior

to treatment, at night, or at no specific time) and how long do they last?

• Do you feel shaky, jittery, or nervous?

• Have you felt tense, fear-ful, or apprehensive?

See who’s at the doorTHREE sisters ages 72, 74, and 76 lived in a house together.

One night the 76-year-old drew a bath. She put her foot in and paused. She yelled down the stairs “was I getting into or out of the bath?”

The 74-year-old yelled back “I don’t know. I’ll come up and see.”

She started up the stairs and paused. Then she yelled, “was I going up the stairs or down?”

The 72-year-old sat at the kitchen table having tea, listening to her sisters. She shook her head sadly and said, “I sure hope I never get that forgetful.”

She knocked on wood for good measure. She then yelled, “I’ll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door.”

Everyday is a blessing. Every awakening is a gift from God. Gifts don’t come on special days. They come every-day. Just open your eyes and you will see how much God loves you, not by material things, but from the goodness of people around you. They are our treasures.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

MISAMIS Occidental - The local government unit (LGU) of Clarin has added a name for itself… that of being “The Bayong Capital” of Misamis Occidental.

This, after getting into mass production of “bayong” native bags to replace the plastic shop-ping bags in the municipal markets, allowing the local residents to augment their income.

Mayor David Navarro said the ‘bayong’ bags are made of biodegradable materials, such as leaves of the romblon plants, that are abundant in the area.

The same materials used for mats that give cool and soothing effects on people sleeping on it.

“Being biodegradable, the romblon plants are, therefore, friendly to environment,” the Mayor added. (PIA Regions 10 and 13 Cluster/jdelpf)

AGUSAN del Norte – It is very important for people to know and un-derstand that there is indeed power shortage in the province these days, according to Gen-eral Manager Horacio Santos of the Agusan del Norte Electric Coopera-tive (ANECO).

In the Monday power forum, Mr. Santos disclosed that owing to the situation, the province is going to ex-perience power curtailment in different schedules until the 30th of this month.

He also disclosed, using the power barge in Nasipit will mean a little increase in electricity rates.

Meanwhile, ANECO Pres. Dioscoro Boco recalled that in 2010, Butuan City experienced three-to-six hours of power interrup-tions because of shortage in power.

Last year, however, the province was fortunate to have only experienced a very short time power loss, with the help of the TMI plant/barge situated in Nasipit, he stated.

“We are also looking forward to partner with other power plants for us to be able to sustain our power for the next coming years,” said Boco.

E N O U G H o f those rumors linking her to Vic Sotto.

“Yes, I am in love!” Niña Jose confesses. But the lucky man is not “Bossing”.

His name is Joseph “Josh” Calata. He is a 31-year-old busi-nessman who has been dating the actress for three months.

A for mer model, he looks handsome enough to be an actor. And Niña can’t get enough of him.

“I’ve never been happier. Ever since I met Josh, things have been great. Parang wala akong problema,” says the star of the TV5 primetime soap Valiente.

Josh is her third boy-friend. She wishes he will be the last.

“I just pray that we stay this way for a long time. I hope that he is the one,” reveals the “Pinoy Big Brother” alumna, whose last relationship lasted five years.

“When I enter a rela-tionship, pangmatagalan. I don’t play around. Serious ako sa ganyan. I’m in it for the long run.”

That also means the 22-year-old actress is in no hurry to tie the knot anytime soon.

“Josh knows na mas im-portante sa akin ang showbiz career ko. I’m getting good projects now kaya ayokong mawala lahat ‘yan kung uu-nahin ko ang pag-aasawa.”

Niña sees no problem in the 9-year gap between her and Josh.

“I never had a problem with age,” she declares. “It’s just a number, ‘di ba? As long as we understand each other, and we have this fantastic connection, age will not matter.”

She admits that she pre-fers her boyfriend to be older and wiser.

Niña Jose baresromance with trader

“Mature men for me are very sexy. I mean, sexy sila, intellectually,” she muses.

Which brings us back to her co-star in the TV5 gag show “The Jose and Wally Show Starring Vic Sotto,” who had been linked to her before his reported romance with Pauleen Luna.

What were all those ru-mors about?

“Never naman kam-ing nag-date ni Bossing. Hindi umabot sa gano’n,” she clarifies.

“He just asked me kung okey ba na one day ay maim-bitahan niya ako for this Church service that he’s a part of. Then we can have dinner after daw.

“I said okay kasi I saw nothing wrong with his invitation. Pero hindi nga natuloy iyon because nag-ing busy na ako with the taping of ‘Valiente’. Then nabalitaan ko na lang na he’s being linked na to Pauleen.”

Speaking of “Valiente,” Niña is very pleased with the positive feedback she has been getting for her role as Leona Braganza, the scheming sister of the protagonist played by Oyo Sotto.

She says her character is not an all-out villainess. Fans of the show will soon start to sympathize with Leona.

“This time maaawa na-man sila sa akin. I’m not the total bad girl in the series. May ibang side si Leona na mapapanood nila.”

CEBU City––The next gen-eration of the Penalosa box-ing clan once again takes center stage in the “Dugong Kampeon” on April 21 at the Mandaue City Sports and Cultural Center.

Dodie Boy Penalosa Jr. will take on another foreign opponent in Indonesian journeyman Alex Buckie, while Dave Penalosa faces JR Salvador.

Dodie Boy Jr. has so far been living up to his sur-name, logging an impressive 8-0 record, all via knockouts.

Dodie Boy Jr. and Dave are sons of Dodie Boy Pen-alosa, former International Boxing Federation (IBF) champion in the light fly-weight and flyweight classes.

Their father’s younger brother, Gerry Penalosa, is a

Unbeaten Dodie Boy Jr. battles Indonesian on April 21 in Cebu

former holder of the World Boxing Council (WBC) super flyweight and the World Boxing Organization (WBO) bantamweight titles.

Dodie Boy Jr. didn’t even break a sweat in his last fight on Jan. 28 as he eas-ily disposed of unheralded Superjames Sing-manasak at the Recom Dome in Calo-ocan City.

Dave, 2-0 with a knock-out, also saw action in the same boxing show and stopped Rey Colambot in two rounds.

The 26-year-old Buckie is the most experienced boxer that the budding Dodie Boy Jr. will face in his career.

Although Buckie’s record looks dreadful at 13-25-6 with seven knockouts, he has

only been knocked out five times and has had his share

of fights against world-class opponents. (PNA)

ANTIPOLO City––The Enteria fam-ily and neighbors at Peace Village in this upland city of Rizal province are now very excited to see one of their fellow residents carry the of-ficial Olympic 2012 torch in London starting May 19.

City Information Office Chief Reuel Vidal said members of the Enteria family and neighbors in the

subdivision are hopeful that Rey-mundo “Apol” Enteria, an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) based in Kent, England, will get the chance to tell the world about this pilgrimage capital city and the country where he comes from.

Vidal said the young Enteria has been chosen among the 7,000 people from across the globe who will carry

and pass on the 2012 London Olym-pics torch starting May, this year.

Aside from Enteria, Filipino-British achiever Steven Cheung is among the world’s inspirational people who will represent various countries and groups as Olympic torch bearers in the torch relay across the British Isles for the 2012 Olympics, he said.

parties related to the ed-ucation, the human capitals or expertise in the nation can be a big problem.

Planning the creation of qualified human capitals requires more and more attention. It should not be done incidentally. It needs continuous action focusing on the effort of creating human capitals through entrepreneurship.

The nations that belong to the common economic interest like ASEAN free trade area (AFTA), should focus on creating qualified human capital. The ASEAN countries like Indonesia and Philippines have similar condition in a certain condi-tion. The natural resources they have without qualified human capitals will lead them to become the losers.

One of the critical fac-tors is focusing on creating new entrepreneurs. Besides that, another of making the people skilled and expert is also a must. HEIs are the central agents to have their curriculum revised. Thus, entrepreneurship must not be merely inserted in a certain pillar of community services section.

all of them were agree-able to host nuclear power plants in Mindanao.

In the planned nuclear power plant, Cojuangco proposed the newest tech-nology being pushed by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US-NRC) on the use of small modular reactor as against the BNPP’s pres-surized water reactor.

He said the US-NRC already issued combined

licenses to Georgia and South Carolina to build the small modular reactor plants.

Cojuangco said the Phil-ippines should start applying for the construction of the plants so that it could go on stream by 2018.

“It takes time to build a nuclear power plant. So the Philippines, this early, should already decide to secure permits from interna-tional nuclear commissions so that the earliest it could construct and go on stream is by 2018,” he said.

Cojuangco’s proposal provides that the host com-munity would be assured of power supply at a discounted rate or free power for as long as 60 years, which is the life span of the nuclear power plant.

The host community would also be given a share of the tax derived from the sale of the nuclear power, he said.

Palmones said the Phil-ippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) has assured that nuclear plants are safe in Mindanao. CD WITH WIRE REPORT

solution is being im-posed on the developing provinces such as Cotabato and Bukidnon. Why is it the struggling rural areas striving to lift themselves from poverty and over-come underdevelopment and peace and order prob-lems the ones who will be made to bite the bullet,” he explained.

TUCP pointed out that none of the expensive so-lutions are being directed at the two largest cities of Mindanao – Davao City

and Cagayan de Oro.“It is the smaller cit-

ies––Kidapawan, Tagum, Dapitan, Marawi, Mati, Bislig, Dipolog, Isabela, Malaybalay, Koronadal and General Santos––that will be the sacrificial lambs and the rural areas around them,” explained Mendoza.

“Is it because provin-cial towns can be pushed around by the DOE and its attached agency, the National Electrification Administration (NEA)? Is it because they can bully the electric cooperatives using Presidential Decree 269 as amended by Presidential Decree 1645 where the General Managers of these electric cooperatives are appointed thru and by the NEA Administrator? Is it because the General Manag-ers of these coops and their board of directors can no longer protect themselves and the poor consumers from the importunings of the DOE Secretary?” pointed out Mendoza.

“Kayang-kayang takutin ng DOE at NEA ang mga managers ng electric coops pero hindi nila kayang kau-sapin ang mga malalaking pamilya tulad ng Aboitiz,” Mendoza added.

“Why couldn’t the DOE Secretary instead have con-vinced the Aboitiz-owned Therma Marine Inc. with its expensive power barges to moderate its financial acquisitiveness and lower its rates from P14/kWh to P8/kWh? In fact, why should the DOE resort to using outmoded, anti-democratic, Martial Law-era Presiden-tial Decrees to pressure and frighten electric cooperative managers to buy expensive power from Aboitiz?” asked Mendoza.

TUCP p ointe d out that the power provider in Davao City is the Aboitiz group and that the distribu-tor, Davao Light and Power is also Aboitiz. “The city power supply and distribu-tion is owned by one family so they can already put the squeeze on consumers anytime. The same situation also applies to Cagayan de Oro with the Abaya-owned Cagayan Electric Power and Light Company (CE-PALCO),” said Mendoza. “In these two cities, the DOE will just distance itself as the oligarchs who own the power system there can allow events to set the stage for them to eventu-ally bring up rates also,” Mendoza added.

TUCP explained that even with the DOE pro-viding a P9/kWh subsidy for power sourced from Aboitiz-Therma Marine Inc., this will already put in place a de facto high tariff regime which will tie up the electric cooperatives for a multi-year period. TUCP pointed out that even should abundant hy-dropower currently priced at P2.97/kWh currently become available after the Agus-Pulangui repairs, the electric cooperatives

are already contracted to buy and distribute power from the more expensive Aboitiz-Therma Marine Inc. Eventually this emer-gency government subsidy of P9 will be phased out forcing the consumers to pay up the full cost of gen-erated power at P14/kWh.

“The DOE has cari-caturized the Mindanao power crisis as one whose answer lies in meeting sup-ply needs. That way all the DOE needs to do is lead us down the path of least resistance: buy from the expensive Aboitiz-Therma Marine power barges. But the truth is that the answer lies in balancing the needs between supply and the cost of power. Mindanao’s development was always premised on the provi-sion of cheap hydropower. This drives commerce and industry in Mindanao,” explained Mendoza.

TUCP advocates main-taining hydroplants as the main energy source with standby power in the form of government-owned pow-er barges. We believe that allowing the National Power Corporation (NPC) more leeway in administering their gross receipts – in-stead of remitting the same

to PSALM – will allow the full rehabilitation of the Agus-Pulangui Complex.

TUCP believes that low-ering the reserve capacity of National Grid Corpo-ration (NGCP) from 250 Megawatts (MW) to 150 MW would have readily released an additional 100 MW into the Mindanao Grid and that the fulfil-ment of rehabilitation of Agus 4 would have raised sufficient capacity.

Instead DOE has pres-sured electric coops to buy expensive power from Aboitiz-owned power barg-es and called for further repairs of the Agus 6 to create an artificial shortage of hydropower when it is most needed.

TUCP also remains op-posed to the planned sale of 4 state-owned power barges which can best be used for a last resort measure for Mindanao or for when power shortages occur in Luzon or the Visayas. Once rehabilitated they can also be used to address the cur-rent demand of Mindanao.

“ERC will view this DOE Circular as the blessing from the high and powerful to allow expensive power to be sold to the poorest,” said Mendoza.

A MAGNITUDE 8.7 earth-quake struck off the coast of Indonesia yesterday, sending residents dashing out of their homes and offi ces in fear.

India has issued tsunami warning for Andaman and Nicobar Islands, coastal regions of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh following a massive 8.7 magnitude earthquake off Sumatra coast. The Chennai port has been shut down due to tsunami alert.

National Disaster Re-sponse Force (NDRF) teams have already been rushed to Andaman and Nicobal Islands, coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

“Earthquakes of this size have the potential to gener-ate a widespread destruc-tive tsunami that can aff ect coastlines across the entire Indian Ocean basin,” the US Pacifi c Tsunami Warning Center said.

center said it had not yet ascertained whether a tidal wave had been generated but that one was likely given the strength of the temblor, and advised local authorities to take “appropriate action.”

The quake struck 308 miles (500 km) southwest of the city of Banda Aceh, on the northern tip of Sumatra island, at a depth of 20.5 miles (33 kilometers), the US Geological survey said.

The quake was felt as far away as the Th ai capital, Bangkok, and in southern India, residents said. Hun-dreds of offi ce workers in the Indian city of Bangalore left their buildings, workers there said.

Th e quake was in roughly in the same area as a De-cember 26, 2004, quake of 9.1 magnitude, which sent huge tsunami waves crash-ing into Sumatra, where 170,000 people were killed, and across the Indian Ocean.

In all, the 2004 tsunami

killed about 230,000 people in 13 Indian Ocean coun-tries, including Th ailand, Sri Lanka and India.

Th e 2004 quake was at a depth of 18 miles (30 km) along a fault line running under the Indian Ocean,

off western Indonesia and up into the Bay of Bengal.

Th e quake was also felt in Sri Lanka and the south-ern Th ai holiday island of Phuket, both of which were hit hard by the 2004 tsunami.

Th ai Meteorological De-

partment deputy chief Som-chai Baimoung said there was no tsunami warning yet in Th ailand. Provincial offi cials along the Andaman Sea coast were preparing for possible evacuation if necessary.

CARMEN, North Cota-bato––Three passengers of the Rural Transit Bus were killed while 16 oth-ers were injured when a powerful improvised explo-sive device (IED) went off while the bus was in transit along the Carmen-Kabacan highway here around 10:40 a.m. Wednesday, a report from the Army’s Eastern Mindanao Command, said.

The fatalities were iden-tified as Gladzin Himpiso, 10; Rona Mae Causing, 18; and Dima Causing, 60 years old.
