Korea. Sa kasalukuyan, nasa
Chuncheon City ang 55
magsasakang o ang 1st Batch ng

na magiging responsable sa
wastong pangangalaga ng mga
pananim, pag-ani at pagbabalot
o pagpapake sa mga agricultural
products mula ika-17 ng Abril

Nagmula ang unang
batch sa mga bayan ng Balete,
Lipa City, Malvar, Mataas na
Kahoy, Rosario, San Luis, San
Pascual, Sto. Tomas at Taysan,
mula sa pahina 1
na ayon kay Atty. Marasigan, ay
mga in-land local government
units. Ang mga bayan ng
lalawigan ay ikinategoryang
“coastal” o yung mga nasa
baybaying dagat; “lakeshore”
o mga nasa palibot ng Lawa ng
Taal; at “inland” o yung mga
napapalibutan ng kalupaan.
Patuloy
din
ang
pakikipag-ugnayan ng PTCAO
para sa pagpaparehistro at
accreditation ng mga resorts
sa lalawigan. Sa kasalukuyan,
mayroong di bababa sa 60 na
resorts ang rehistrado na, na
karamihan ay ang mga kilalang
resorts na dinadagsa ng mga
turista mula sa loob at labas ng
lalawigan sa Nasugbu, Mabini,
at San Juan.
Dalawang beses sa
isang taon, bumisita ang mga
kawani ng PTCAO sa mga
resorts upang malaman kung
nasunod ang mga ito sa rules
and regulations para sa Turismo.

Laguna Provincial DRRMO
best in CALABARZON
PIA 4A
CALAMBA CITY, Laguna,
(PIA) -- Owing to its
unwavering efforts to ensure
the safety of the people in
the province during man-
made and natural disasters,
the
Laguna
Provincial
Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management Office
(PDRRMO) was hailed as
the Best Provincial DRRMO
in CALABARZON.
The Regional Search
for
Gawad
KALASAG
(KAlamidad
at
Sakuna
LAbanan SAriling Galing
ang
Kaligtasan)
2017
has recently concluded
that Laguna had the most
outstanding
provincial
DRRM council in the region
based on the qualifications
and standards they have set
for the entrants.
Laguna PDRRMO
Assistant Department Head
Aldwin M. Cejo shared
about the possible factors
that enabled them to earn
the top spot this time from
formerly being the third
placer in 2016.
“Mula noong 2010,
ang ginagawa kasi namin
ay iyong Capacity Building
ng LGUs iyong munisipyo
at saka cities, saka iyong
paggawa talaga ng plan na
i-e-execute bawat taon,”
Cejo said.
He pointed out that
their team’s continuous
and consistent work in
inclusively building the
capacities of all the towns,
cities and even barangays in
Laguna could be one of the
most exceptional reasons for
gaining this achievement.
“Nagkakaroon
kami ng orientation kung
ano ba iyong RA 10121,
kung paano gamitin iyong
budget, ano iyong mga
services na mayroon kami
para naman makopya ng
bawat munisipyo hanggang
barangay level,” he said
explaining further that they
make sure the DRRM plans
on the ground are aligned
with the provincial plan
to ensure synchronized
and
harmonious
implementation.
Research-based
planning also plays an
important role in their
victory.
The
Laguna
PDRRMO
formulates
annual plans based on the
results of their research
studies about the needs of
their constituents and their
immersion activities in
exemplary DRRMs from
among other provinces in
the country.
Meanwhile, in terms
of disaster response, the
DRRMs in the municipalities
and cities of Laguna are
serving as the sub-stations
of the provincial DRRMO.
Based
on
a
resolution,
the
nearest
municipality or city serves
as the first responder to
accidents or any other
form of disaster. Whereas,
insurgencies
are
being
referred to and handled by
the provincial DRRM only
once it gets out of hand or
the municipality or city is
incapable of managing the
situation.
The
Laguna
PDRRMO operation center
is regularly open 24/7 or
24 hours every day for the
whole week, which set them
apart from other provinces
which only do when there is
any impending disaster.
The support of Governor
Ramil Hernandez as the
chair of the PDRRMC is
likewise a vital ingredient
that compelled them to
carry on and succeed, said
Cejo.
DRRM Improvements
The improvements made
in various aspects of their
council also form part to
the Laguna PDRRMO’s
success.
“Isa doon (sa na-
improve namin) ay iyong
mga
equipment,
mga
capability

Labis ang kasiyahan at
pasasalamat ni SK Federation
President-elect Manalo ng
barangay Haligue Kanluran
sa pagtitiwala at suporta sa
kanya ng mga SK chairmen.
Marami aniya siyang plano
at programang nais ipatupad
sa mga kabataan sa lahat ng
barangay. Bago ang lahat,
una niyang nais gawin ay
mapaigting ang pagkakaisa ng
mga ito.
Mahalaga
sa
kanya ang edukasyon kung
kayat prayoridad niya na
matulungan ang mga kapos
palad na makapag aral sa
pamamagitan ng pagkakaroon
ng access sa mga scholarship
programs ng mga publiko at
pribadong organisasyon upang
maiangat ang kanilang buhay
at magkaroon ng magandang
kinabukasan. “Marami po
akong plano, in line sa mga
kapus palad na kabataan,
hihikayatin ko po sila na magpatuloy sa pag-aaral,
lakasan lamang ang kanilang
loob at huwag mahiyang
humingi ng tulong sa mga
nagkakaloob ng scholarship
programs,” dagdag pa ni
Manalo.
Hangad ni Manalo
ang kooperasyon ng mga SK
officials at ang pagiging bukas
ng mga ito sa kanya lalo na
sa kanilang pangangailangan.
“Sana po ay buddy-buddy lang
kami lahat, para maipaalam nila
ang mga problema sa kanilang
barangay para mapag-aralan
at mabigyang solusyon,”
sabi ni Manalo. Ipinahayag
din niya na magiging boses
siya ng kabataan sa city
council kung saan magiging
aktibo siya sa pagdalo sa
sesyon at pakikilahok sa mga
talakayan. Hindi rin aniya
siya mahihiyang magtanong
at humingi ng tulong sa mga
konsehal kung kinakailangan.
Isa lamang barangay
na walang tumakbong SK
chairman noong nagdaang
barangay at SK elections-
Barangay 16- ang hindi
nakalahok sa SK Federation
election nitong May 29
sa Teachers’ Conference
Center. Ito ay pinamahalaan
ng Department of Interior

Batangas City kung saan

mayroon ang province dahil
sa tulong ng association.
Iyong pagiging buo nung
DRRM offices ng bawat
munisipyo at city,” Cejo
said.
He
emphasized
that the close association
and workmanship of the
DRRMs within the province
made a good impact to their
initiatives and undertakings.
In addition, the
creation
of
plantilla
positions for the Laguna
PDRRMO that put in place
dedicated personnel for the
posts that are included to
the minimum requirement
of the Joint Memorandum
Circular (JMC) among the
Civil Service Commission
(CSC),
Department
of
Budget and Management
(DBM), and Department
of the Interior and Local
Government (DILG) also
strengthened their office.
Despite
the
deliberate
developments
that enriched the capacities
of the Laguna PDRRMO,
Cejo said much is still
needed to be done.
He
underscored the need for continuous
innovation and improvement
of their practices and
processes.
“Lagi kaming nag-
uusap usap na dapat lagi
kaming mag-level up (na)
dapat mag-upgrade lagi,”
he said.
The
preparedness
of the Laguna PDRRMO
will only be proven suffice
once they were able to face
a tangible circumstance that
would force them to execute
their contingency plans.
“Hindi
natin
masasabi na sapat na iyong
resources na mayroon kami
kung hindi naman kami
nasusubukan noong actual
na posibleng mangyari,” he
continued.
On this light, the
team plans to accumulate
more equipment, even those
that were not required in
a regular basis but would
be greatly helpful if ever a
severe disastrous situation
occurs. It is better to be
ready than sorry, as he
