(Press Release) — The Bayani or Heroes Association of the CNMI assisted seven Badjao and three Christian families in Bugo, Cagayan de Oro City, the southern Philippines. 
Bayani also assisted a 102-year-old man who has been bedridden due to old age.  The 10 families, consisting of 27 individuals, received housing materials, kitchen and cooking utensils, and care packages.
Before the distribution of assistance, the Bayani Association volunteers in Cagayan de Oro City met with the leader of the Badjao tribe to inquire about the needs of the families. A series of consultations were conducted to determine the primary needs of the tribal members. The volunteers decided to repair the Badjao’s restroom made of assorted ripped lightweight tarpaulin, bamboo poles and plastic, and replace it with fitted steel-plated walls and galvanized plate roofing. The volunteers also bought heavy-duty tarpaulins to replace the roof of the dilapidated makeshift shelters.

CAGAYAN de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno said he has signed on Friday, October 9, the proposed budget for 2021, which amounted to P7.25 billion.
Moreno said he already anticipated the reduction of the annual budget, which will be submitted to the City Council next week, as next year's revenue is expected to go down.

"Mao na nga naa koy annual problem with the treasury kay ingon lagi nga taas ra ang akong target kay the budget has to be supported by the revenues. Ang ako is, I always aim high," he added.

Jeepney partitions
May 22, 2020
RIGHT after the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board has released more than a month ago a Memorandum 2020-017 that includes, among others, a condition on installing impermeable barriers between rows of seats, the owner of the jeepney that Jose Marie Palomar, 32, rents bought a clear plastic sheet for that purpose.
"Gipabutangan mi ug plastic ingun ani para ma-maintain ang kanang social distancing tapos para dili pud magdikit-dikit ang mga tawo. Unya kanang, for example, simbako lang naay makasakay nga nay mga simtomas sa Covid, for example, mag ubo-ubo sila dili mo kuan dayun...mupilit ra sa cellophane ang kuan... malayo ra pud ang tawo (We put a plastic barrier inside to maintain social distancing then to keep commuters apart. For example, God forbid, if a person with Covid-19 happens to ride and then cough, the virus cannot spread immediately, it will be stuck in the plastic so the others will be spared from being infected)," explains Jose, who has been a driver for three years now.

WE HAVE been criticized for our habit of littering and dumping our garbage around but if there’s one thing that Covid-19 pandemic has taught us Filipinos, then that is proper hygiene and sanitation.
But sadly, the photo below, which was taken at the height of the preparation of the workers of the LGU of Bugo, doesn’t seem to show.
A dump of garbage like that will definitely become a breeding ground for flies, cockroaches, rats or mice, etc; and these pests and insects can become vectors or disease-carrying creatures. In the absence of adequate garbage and pest control, we are risking ourselves to many bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases such as tetanus, hepatitis A, hookworm, among others.

MISAMIS Oriental Provincial Veterinarian Dr. Benjamin Resma yesterday said they are monitoring not just the ports, supermarkets and wet markets in the province but also online sellers of processed food with pork from Luzon.
Resma said that this month, they have confiscated processed pork products "Siomai" which were shipped from Taytay, Rizal and sold in the markets of Alubijid, Tagoloan, and other areas in the province.
Authorities discover and intercept the online seller through monitoring their Facebook page.
"Mao man gud ni sya ang danger aning mga processed na kay kung karne gyud dad-on, dili man pwede kay dako man, makita. So ila nang ihawon, i-process na nila, ibaligya. Isulod og taxi didto sa Rizal og Bulacan so mao nang makalusot gyud ni," Resma said.
