Dietary supplement is a product that contains vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, enzymes, and/or other ingredients intended to supplement the diet. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has special labeling requirements for dietary supplements and treats them as foods, not drugs.

Manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are prohibited from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded. That means that these firms are responsible for evaluating the safety and labeling of their products before marketing to ensure that they meet all the requirements of DSHEA and FDA regulations.

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:

The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

Location of Sarangani, Philippines

Sarangani is a province of the Philippines located in the SOCCSKSARGEN region in Mindanao. Its capital is Alabel and borders South Cotabato to the north and Davao del Sur to the east.

Sarangani is part of the South Cotabato-Sultan Kudarat-Sarangani-Gen. Santos City (Socsksargen) development cluster, and is linked by paved roads to the international airport and world-class fish port of Gen. Santos City. Good roads and regular flights through Gen. Santos City allow the province easy access to Manila, Cebu, Davao City, as well as the rest of the Socsksargen areas. Gen. Santos City’s airport has one of the country’s longest runways.

The province is situated as the country’s major gateway to the Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-the Philippines - East Asean Growth Area. With its proximity to its regional counterparts, Sarangani is in a unique position to marshal its resources, entice tourists and investors, and compete in an international market under a borderless trade regime.

Strategically located at the southernmost tip of Mindanao, the province is protected by the resource-rich Sarangani Bay. Beyond this is the Celebes Sea, which is the province’s access to the rest of the world.

Bordered by over 230 kms. of unspoiled coastline, Sarangani offers more than 4,400 sq. kms. of typhoon-free land and marine resources, largely untapped tourism potentials, and vast investment possibilities.

The province is divided into two parts, separated by the Sarangani Bay and General Santos City, and it used to be part of South Cotabato until it was made an independent province in 1992.

History of Sarangani, Philippines

Source: Wikipedia - Verbatim

The early inhabitants who first inhabited Sarangani were the indigenous natives, called "MunaTo," a native term for "first people."

In 1942, the Japanese troops occupied Southern Cotabato (now. Sarangani).

In 1945, Filipino troops of the 6th, 10th, 101st and 102nd Infantry Division of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and 10th Infantry Regiment of the Philippine Constabulary entered and liberated in Southern Cotabato (now. Sarangani) and fought against the Japanese Imperial Army forces during the Battle of Cotabato at the end of World War II under the Japanese Occupation.

Before its inception in 1992, Sarangani was part of South Cotabato and held its title as the Third District of South Cotabato. The province was created by Republic Act No. 7228 on March 16, 1992, penned by the late Congressman, James L. Chiongbian. His wife, Priscilla L. Chiongbian is the first Governor of Sarangani. They are known as the Father and Mother of Sarangani Province.

Sarangani celebrates its foundation anniversary every month of November, named as "MunaTo Festival."

Kaya Iloilo sweeps Group B in Copa '21

MANILA – Kaya Iloilo pipped Mendiola with a 6-0 beating on Wednesday night to complete a sweep of Group B action in the Copa Paulino Alcantara at the PFF National Training Centre in Carmona.

A Jovin Bedic brace in the first half set the tone for the inaugural tournament champ even as the club netted three goals in each of the two halves to seal the top seed in its group ahead of the semifinals next week.

Bedic capitalized on an erroneous Mendiola attempt to keep the ball out of his reach and quickly raced inside the penalty box to open the scoring for Kaya Iloilo in the 11th minute.

Todate, the SEP project has already energized 545 far-flung and remotest sitios in Mindanao.

The SEP is a rural electrification program of the government that will energize far-flung areas throughout the country.

Late last year, the NEA, in partnership with 96 electric cooperatives nationwide had already energized 1, 520 sitios (villages) benefiting some 33, 189 households.

The Agusan del Norte Electric Cooperative (ANECO) alone, 35 sitios were already energized and benefiting 2, 086 households.

This year, ANECO is targeting more than 2, 156 households to be benefited of the SEP program.

The seven electric cooperatives in Northeastern Mindanao (Caraga region) have already energized more than 102 far-flung sitios and puroks.

“We are committed to energize more far-flung sitios and puroks in the coming months as part of our commitment to help the Aquino Administration’s SEP program,” said ANECO general manager (GM) and president of the association of Caraga region electric cooperatives Architect Horacio T. Santos.

There are 32,403 sitios all over the country without power. The bulk of the fund amounting to Php 116.9M will go to Northern Mindanao to electrify 184 sitios. Bicol Region is allotted Php 84.8M to energize 136 sitios while Php 74.4M will go to the Caraga region to power up 103 sitios.

Meanwhile, in an effort to have uninterrupted power supply in the future, the ANECO on Saturday inked a 25-year Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for a 10 megawatt power supply from the Sarangani Energy Corporation, starting 2015.

The ceremonial signing of agreement was presented by GM Santos, ANECO board president Dioscoro P. Boco, Sarangani Vice President- Business department Joseph C. Nocos and Sarangani Head for Marketing Edgardo C. Calabio.

-KORONADAL CITY -- Coconut leaf beetles are threatening coconut farms in Central Mindanao or the Soccsksargen Region, as they already infested at least 12 towns in the region's four provinces, officials said Thursday.
+Todate, the SEP project has already energized 545 far-flung and remotest sitios in Mindanao.
-Amalia J. Datukan, Department of Agriculture (DA)-Soccsksargen director, said the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) and the Regional Crop Protection Center (RCPC) have noted the rapid Brontispa longissima infestation in parts of the region.
+The SEP is a rural electrification program of the government that will energize far-flung areas throughout the country.
-"Brontispa infestation has been observed to be quickly increasing in the region, particularly in the town of Malungon in Sarangani," Datukan said.
+Late last year, the NEA, in partnership with 96 electric cooperatives nationwide had already energized 1, 520 sitios (villages) benefiting some 33, 189 households.
-Malungon has vast mango plantations, and because of regular chemical sprayings, parasitoids used to address the Brontispa infestation could not thrive, she explained, citing a report from the Sarangani Integrated Pest Management office.
+The Agusan del Norte Electric Cooperative (ANECO) alone, 35 sitios were already energized and benefiting 2, 086 households.
-Brontispa or coconut leaf beetle feed on young leaves and damages seedlings and mature coconut palms. This insect belongs to the order Coleoptera and Chrysomelidae family along with a number of beetle species.
+This year, ANECO is targeting more than 2, 156 households to be benefited of the SEP program.
-Citing a PCA report, Datukan identified the towns infested with Brontispa as Tampakan, Tupi, Polomolok and Koronadal City in South Cotabato and Libungan, Midsayap, Antipas and Kidapawan in North Cotabato.
+The seven electric cooperatives in Northeastern Mindanao (Caraga region) have already energized more than 102 far-flung sitios and puroks.
-The others are Malungon and Glan in Sarangani and Lutayan and Columbio in Sultan Kudarat.
+“We are committed to energize more far-flung sitios and puroks in the coming months as part of our commitment to help the Aquino Administration’s SEP program,” said ANECO general manager (GM) and president of the association of Caraga region electric cooperatives Architect Horacio T. Santos.
-Glan, touted as the "Coconut Queen of the South," is one of the largest coconut producing towns in the region.
+There are 32,403 sitios all over the country without power. The bulk of the fund amounting to Php 116.9M will go to Northern Mindanao to electrify 184 sitios. Bicol Region is allotted Php 84.8M to energize 136 sitios while Php 74.4M will go to the Caraga region to power up 103 sitios.
-Elvira de Silva, PCA regional manager, said there is a need to establish more parasitoid laboratories to address the Brontispa infestation, especially in areas close to towns that have been infested.
+Meanwhile, in an effort to have uninterrupted power supply in the future, the ANECO on Saturday inked a 25-year Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for a 10 megawatt power supply from the Sarangani Energy Corporation, starting 2015.
-Parasitoids are organisms that ultimately sterilize and consume the host, and are similar to typical parasites, the DA said.
+The ceremonial signing of agreement was presented by GM Santos, ANECO board president Dioscoro P. Boco, Sarangani Vice President- Business department Joseph C. Nocos and Sarangani Head for Marketing Edgardo C. Calabio.
-In North Cotabato, where 2.71 percent of the total coconut trees have been infested by Brontispa, the PCA has set up six parasitoid laboratories, de Silva said.
-But other than Brontispa, North Cotabato farmers feared that Asiatic palm weevil could infest their crops, the DA regional office said.
-Asiatic palm weevil (Rhabdoscelus lineatocollis (Heller)) is a newly discovered coconut pest that damages the stems, reduces yield, or kills seedlings and young palms.
-In Malungon, Sarangani, coconut farmers are using chemicals and the cut-and-burn method to address the Brontispa infestation.
-The Sarangani agriculture office said the cut-and-burn method could be an effective way to stem the spread of brontispa to other towns.
-It has likewise recommended the establishment of parasitoid laboratories in the towns of Maitum, Kiamba and Maasim, which remained free of Brontispa.
-Datukan said the RCPC, which is attached to the DA, has been culturing parasitoids to help eradicate the Brontispa problem.
