Mayor Ando, gilugwayan ang community quarantine
OZAMIZ
CITY—Sugod karong adlawa, Abril 1, moinat pa ug katorse ka adlaw ang community
quarantine (CQ), mao kini hukom ni Mayor Ando Oaminal.
Gianunsiyo
ni Oaminal ang iyang executive order kagahapon kabahin niini.
Didto
sa bag-o niyang EO, gibutang sa mayor ang paglugway usab sa mga dili angay
buhaton ug asa kutob lamang ang buhaton nga maoy unod sa nahaunang mga executive
orders nga iyang gipagawas.
Kini
tanan maoy paglantaw sa corona virus nga dili makasulod sa dakbayan. Pareha ra
gihapon ang nakalatid, dugang sa mayor, striktohon lang pagpatuman ug
kinahanglan tumanon sa tanan.
Hangtod
karong adlawa, kamulo pa ang pagpanghatag sa mga relief goods sa tanang household
sa siyudad.
Sa
iyang facebook post, gibutyag sa mayor nga niadtong Sabado, miabot 15 na ka
barangay ang nalibot pagpanghatag sa mga BHW ug iyang mga tawo sa hilit nga mga
barangay ug kabukirang bahin. Karong adlawa, nabantayan sila nga anaa na Brgy.
Lam-an.
Sa
impormasyong nakuha, ang relief goods gilangkoban sa 10 kilos sa bugas, 10 ka
canned sardines ug one-half kilo nga bihon.
Personal
kini nga itunol sa mga kabalayan sa tagsa-tagsa ka putos ug dawaton sa pultahan
lamang aron malikayan ang panagtapok ug ma-obserba ang social distancing.
Ang
pagpanghatag sa mga relief goods apil ang hiniusang tampo nila ni Gov. Philip
Tan ug 2nd District Rep. Henry Oaminal.
“Magtinabangay
kita, ang pagpang hatag sa relief goods kinahanglan kada household and makadawat.
Walay pili, dili kada pamilya,” matod ni Oaminal.
Kung
ang household wala makadawat, mao na ang panahon nga pahibaloon ang executive assistant
ni Oaminal nga si Rino Karlo Lim. Dili pwede ang moreklamo daan unya wala pa diay
nalista.
“Hulaton
nato mahuman ug wala ba gyud naapil. Kung on-going pa, ayaw sa mo pag message.
Hulata nga maapil ang inyong barangay sa lista nga na-declare nga nahuman na. Kung
nakadawat na mo, ayaw na usab pag message,” pagpatin-aw niya.
“Kining
atong krisis karon, dili ta mag malamposon kung dili kita magkahiusa. Undang na
sa pag-pangdaot kay wala kitay maabot. Undang na ta sa pag-pangaway, kay ang
virus dili nato diha mapatay, dugang sulti ni Oaminal.
“Kung
nag kulang man gani pagpanglista, hinaot sabton nato ni. Tabangan nato ma-insakto
ug sundon nato ang saktong mga pamaagi. Mag-ampo kita nga giyahan ug
protektahan kanunay,” panapos niya. ( M. MEDINA via DEXTER MANUGAS)
Stay in your homes until help arrive, mayor asks residents
OZAMIZ CITY-Mayor Ando Oaminal has asked residents to support his policy and stop arguing with him.
Yesterday, he boosted hopes of many by making clear the receipt of relief goods from the city.
It's for every household, not every family. There are other group of people living together in one house or family. This is obvious.
Just wait for your turn to receive as the mayor has organized everything, starting from those really in need.
Don't complain to me if you are not yet given, Oaminal suggested.
"Dili ta magmalampuson kung dili ta maghiusa," he said in a post in facebook.
"Mag-ampo kita nga (giyahan) ug protekhan," he added. (M.MEDINA)

Isay says her love for Clarin overwhelms her
By Michael Medina
Chief Editor
Misamis News Digest
Clarin, Misoc—Running for mayor may be tough but it is easy getting there if you have the inspiration to win; bolstered by your love and dedication to serve the people, Marisa “Isay” Long Villa said.
“Gusto ko mag-promote ug peace and order, kanang adunay kalinaw, pakighiusa ug pakigsandurot sa tanan regardless of political colors,” she said in an interview.
“Ang butang nga naka patukmod nako nga modagan kini ang gugma nako sa lungsod,” she added.
Villa said that growing up in her hometown has guaranteed what she is today, with the many of the same familiar faces from her childhood and what she’s been up to, even without the benefit of being luxurious.
“Kining lumad ta nga nagpuyo sa usa ka lugar, nailhan nato halos tanang tawo, atoang mga kadugo, halos tanan paryente hinungdan nga masud-ong nato ang ilang kahimtang,” Villa stressed.
“Atong nasuroy ang Clarin sukad sa gamay pa ta, dula-dula sa mga suuk-suuk nga lugar ug dili malikayan nga makalantaw dili lang sa atong kaugalingon kondili sa uban usab.”
She clarified that this didn’t stunt her emotional maturity as she sees now is the time to actually “grow up” and be responsible.
“Moabot atong panahon ba nga mohamtong atong edad, mag-expand sad ang panglantaw nato sa kinabuhi nga kinahanglan kita mo-share sa atong kahibalo ngadto sa mga tawo kay atoa silang gihigugma,” she said.
“Hatagan nato sila ug good governance, not only made possible through infrastuctures kondili mga nindot nga projects nga anaay impact sa kada pamilya,” she outlines her blueprint.
Villa shared a decent civil society’s basic needs include safe water, food, medical care, environmental conservation and education and all these is what a new governance in her town must meet.
“Wala man nagkulang ang gobyerno karon but the implementation must reach all sector of the general public, especially those who need it most,” she ended.
