VIRAC, CATANDUANES- The Provincial Health Office here in Catanduanes have launched a campaign dubbed as “Aksyon: Paputok Inquiry Reduction” or APIR (give me five) for a safe, accident-free Christmas and New Year Celebration in the entire province.
The fresh floods in the Visayas and Mindanao affected more than 10,00 families, but no fatalities were reported even as raging floodwaters wiped out two “puroks” or subvillages in Bukidnon, authorities said on Wednesday.


The said campaign was launched by the Department of Health last November 2011 which aims to lessen the incidents involving the use of firecrackers and is pursuant to Republic Act No. 7183.
However, the flood-causing rains spawned by a low pressure area (LPA) and the tail-end of a cold on Monday and Tuesday killed at least six people in Luzon, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said.


Under Republic Act 7183, manufacture, sale, distribution, and use of firecrackers and other pyrotechnic devices are regulated and controlled to ensure public safety, order and national security as well as the enhancement of the cultural traditions.
In its bulletin issued late Wednesday afternoon, the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) said the number of flash flood victims in Caraga region, composed of five provinces and six cities, rose to 11,768 families or 57,874 individuals.


In the five reminders of APIR, the dangers of using firecrackers are emphasized especially on the hands of a child. According to DOH’s data, most victims are children aged 10 below with 330 cases last year, comprising 34 percent of the cases.
As of press time, the NDRRMC also reported that the weather has improved and floodwaters have subsided in most of the 240 villages and 14 affected provinces nationwide.


The reminders of APIR are as follows: the use of firecrackers is dangerous, all kinds of firecrackers or similar entities are not allowed to be used by kids, keep safe from people who are using firecrackers, do not pick firecrackers that failed to blast off and go to the nearest hospital for immediate treatment if you suffered from any injury caused by firecrackers.
In Bukidnon, Col. Leopoldo Galon, spokesman of the Eastern Mindanao Command (Eastmincom) said flash floods due to continuous rain since Monday “completely wiped out two puroks in Barangay Batangan, Valencia City.


In line with this, PHO is very positive that the campaign will prosper and will yield good outcomes compared to previous government campaigns to lessen the victims of firecrackers in the country.
Houses and properties of residents were washed out by flood including agricultural crops, said Galon.


They also urge the public that instead of using firecrackers, people should use small trumpets and beating pots or pans to, "scare away evil spirits."
He said no casualty was reported as the affected families were immediately rescued by responding military and police personnel.


Moreover, the local government units of the eleven towns of the province and the media are cooperating in strengthening the advocacy of the DOH against firecrackers use.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) said 915 flood victims temporarily sought shelter in three evacuation centers.
 
But the LPA which dumped heavy rains in parts of Luzon, particularly Isabela, Mindoro, and '''Catanduanes''' claimed six lives.
 
Four people drowned in Isabela province after their ferryboat capsized due to strong water current while crossing Magat River going to Ifugao.
 
Two other people died in flooding that hit Barangay San Isidro, Tabogon in Cebu, while a one-year-old child, identified as Roan Libres, was reported missing in Barangay San Roque, Surigao City.
 
In Caraga, Army 8th Infantry Battalion Spokesman Jorge Jallorina said: “Some 400 families more have returned today to their respective houses after the water subsided.”
 
In Agusan del Sur, flooding occurred in Barangays Novele, Cabawan, Libuac, and part of Poblacion in Rosario, Agusan del Sur. A total of 42 families persons were rescued and evacuated to Bayugan East Central Elementary School.
 
Meanwhile, flooding was also experienced in Davao Del Norte due to the overflowing of Saug/Lubuganon river and Ilog creek. Flood water increased throughout the night, affecting low-lying areas in the towns of Compostela, Montevista, New Bataan, Monkayo, Maco and Nabunturan, all of Compostela Valley.
 
The NDRRMC said 15 houses were totally destroyed in Barangays Florida and Gupitan in Kapalong, Davao del Norte. Agricultural land planted with banana and rice and the Delta Banana Packing Plant in Kapalong were also destroyed by the floods.
 
In the Visayas, flooding occurred in the provinces of Capiz and Negros Occidental affecting more than 1,000 families. A landslide was also reported in Banga, Aklan where five houses were destroyed.
 
Flooded areas in Cebu were Barangays Guadalupe and Mabolo in Cebu City; Barangays Umapad, Banilad, and Paknaan in Mandaue City; Barangays Cansaga and Pitogo in Consolacion, Barangay Cotcot in Carmen, Barangay Flores in Catarmon, Barangay Bagatayan in Sogod; Barangays Look, Poblacion, Maslog and Guinacol in Danao City; Barangay Maslog, Tabogon; Barangays Sta Lucia and Poblacion in Asturias, Barangay Tungkil , Minglanilla and Baragay Mabolo in Cebu City; and Barangays Umapad, Banilad, Pakinaan and Magulkay in Mandaue City.
 
The NDRRMC said floods also hit Barangays Tacuranga, Cogon and Cangumbang Palo, Leyte due to heavy rains. A minor flooding was also monitored at the low-lying areas of St. Bernard, Southern Leyte due to intermittent rains, while a landslide occurred in Mahaplag-sogod road.

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:
  1. 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.
  2. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

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.
