Paglobo ng Bilang ng mga Botante sa Brgy. 10 Kiniwestyon

by: Aurell P. Arais

Malaybalay City - Umaalingawngaw na ang ibat-ibang kontrobersya may kinalaman sa nalalapit na halalan sa barangay at sangguniang kabataan o SK ngayong Oktubre 29, taong kasalukuyan.

Isa sa naturang kontrobersya ang naganap sa barangay 10 na kung saan nadiskobre ang humigit kumulang isang daang botante na kwestyunable.

Kwestyunable dahil ang naturang mga tao ay hindi residente sa nabanggit na barangay at di umanoy ang may pakana ay isang kandidato sa pagkabarangay chairman upang makadagdag sa kanyang boto.

Idinulog na ang naturang problema sa commission on election ngunit ayon kay city election officer Winifred Salilo na wala na silang magagawa dahil natapos na ang inclusion at exclusion sa voters list.

Ibig sabihin ang naturang mga kwestyunableng botante ay makaboto sa barangay 10 maliban sa katotohanan na silay di residente dito.

Ngunit nilinaw na di sila makonsederang double registrants dahil ang kanilang pangalan ay nabura na mula sa kani-kanilang tinitirhang barangay.

Mga Kongresista Dry Up Daw Sa Halalan

by: Aurell P. Arais

Malaybalay City - Pansariling kapakanan lamang kung kayat pumasa sa kamara de representate ang panukala na ipagpaliban ang halaan sa sangguniang kabataan at barangay.

Ito ang ibinunyag ni 2nd district representative teofisto guingona III ng Bukidnon.
Anya, isa siya sa mariing tumutol sa naturang hakbang ngunit mas nakakarami ang pumabor nito.

Ang dahilan ay kakapusan daw ng pundo at masyadong malapit sa nakalipas na may 14, 2007 election at upang mabigyang panahon ang automated election.

Ngunit sinabi niya na sa mga informal na usap-usapan, ang totoong dahilan ay dry-up daw ang karamihan ng mga kongresista o ibig sabihin kapos ng pundo na maaring panustos sa mga barangay candidates lalung-lalo na yaong katasuporta nila sa katatapos pa lamang na halalan.

Samantala sinabi din ni guingona na maugong ang hakbangin na ibigay na lamang sa mga local chief executive ang kapangyarihan sa pag-appoint ng mga opisyal ng barangay upang mas maging maayos ang kooperasyon sa pagpapatakbo ng isang local government unit at di pa magastos.

Dagdag pa nito na maugong din ang usap-usapan na i-abolish na lamang ang sangguniang kabataan dahil naging manok na rin ito ng ibang pulitiko.

CENRO Appealed to the Public : Help Protect Trees

By: Aurell P. Arais

Malaybalay City - The City Environment and Natural Resources (CENRO) has appealed to the public particularly those residing beside roads to help them protect and care the trees planted along the highways few months ago.

According to Felix Mirasol, Jr. CENR Officer, the said tress were planted under Green Philippine Program (GPP) and Greening Philippine Highway (GPH) programs spearheaded by DENR nationwide.

Mirasol specifically appealed for those residing along the highway from Aglayan in Malaybalay City to Kulasihan, Lantapan and from Dalwangan to Lumbo, Valencia City.

He reiterated that based on an existing law there will be 30 meters road allowance or road right of way from the center of the road.

Accordingly destroying any of the plant growing within the 30 meters road right of way is apparently a violation of the law.

To avoid any legal implications, Mirasol appealed to the public to refrain from undertaking any activities that may result to the damage of trees planted within the specified areas such as spraying herbicide, making fire and letting the domestic animals to roam around the area.

“Successful planting of trees is a success for all of us” Mirasol concluded.

MY DESTINY

by: Aurell P. Arais

Hi, it's me Aurelius Parido Arais a.k.a MightyAurell.

I believe in destiny. And I do believe that I am destined to become a media man. My stamina in broadcasting started when I was still in high school days. Driven by too much passion, it came to a point that I projected myself and lied to my classmates that I am connected with a certain radio station in Davao City.

When somebody asked me the particular station where am I connected, I choose and replied the least popular radio station for them not to bother to check whether I’m telling the truth or not and of course I’m just playing safe to avoid being caught that I am indeed lying.

Upon reaching the fourth year level in secondary, I applied to an AM Station still in Davao City named DXRR as a radio reporter. Unfortunately, I was rejected. However, instead of losing hope I considered it as a challenge to push more on my dream to become a broadcaster.

When I enrolled in college in the University of Mindanao in Davao City, I applied to its AM station DXUM-UMBN.Fortunately, at last, my talent and passion were given a break. The station manager then Mr. Ely Luciano accepted me as a newswriter/reporter and became a working scholar of the station under the Student Assistance Program (STAP).

I was taking up Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication (ABMassComm). Admittedly, I gave more priority to my career that is why I’d got low grades in my studies. (he he palusot)

However, due to my interest to learn almost, if not all of the aspects in media works, I keep on transferring or hopping from one company to another, just to gain more knowledge and actual experiences.

I explored in writing and fortunately, I became a freelance writer for Peoples Daily Forum, a local paper and I was assigned to Camp Catitipan Davao PNP headquarters. Then I explored disc jockeying, at DXSS FM 97.9 Mhz and at the same time a TV Newscaster on SBN TV 7 and commentator on its AM Station DXIP.

From Davao City, I transferred to DXSF FM in San Francisco, Agusan del Sur as a newscaster. I worked there for a little while then I went back to DXUM in Davao as one of the pioneering of Radyo Ukay Drama Production. I became a drama writer and director and a radio talent actor as well. I was able to produce various radio soap drama, some of them were Ang Karaang Villa (An Old Villa), a horror story; Tres Marias (action), Dino (sci-fi) and more.

Then I transferred to DXGL FM Real Radio in Butuan City as program director/disc jockey and at the same time newscaster/director on TV 13 and eventually became the station manager of DXGL AM Radyo Kaalyado. Then I was transferred to Real Radio Tandag, Surigao del Sur as station manager.

Wheww… what a long list. Maybe, my dear reader, you are now asking, currently, where am I connected with? Well, currently I am the program/ production director of DXDB AM Radyo Bandilyo in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon. Thanks to the former station manager Fr. Rey Raluto (who is now in Belgium) who trusted my talent.

Now, if you are going to ask me what is my unforgettable experience? The most nerved cracking and heart-pounding part of my career were when I was in Tandag, Surigao del Sur. There I experience a libel case filed by a certain fiscal, sorry I forgot his name. He filed a libel case against one of our radio block-timer whom he said maligned his name and reputation on the air and I was implicated accordingly in my capacity as the head of the station.

Due to this case not only me who suffered numerous sleepless nights but also my beloved family.

Fortunately, thanks to GOD, the said case was dismissed by the Prosecutors Office due to lack of merit and of course to the divine intervention. Wow, what a big relief.

I really love broadcasting. In fact, I found love in this field of endeavor. I'd met my wife Annie also a broadcaster when I was working with Real Radio in Butuan City. She was one of my colleague disc jockeys before. As the saying goes "the same feather flocks together". And now we are blessed with two beautiful daughters Reginah Reign and Kaycee Laureign.

The world of media is full of trials, hardships, challenges and surmountable obstacles but if you have the burning passion, you will still found happiness out of it. If you are planning to be a media practitioner, well it’s up to you. Who knows you and I have the same destiny.

Well, my story does not end here yet...February 2008 I was one of the staff affected by the downsizing of DXDB due to accordingly financial constraint...and who am I to insist so I heartily accepted the so-called offer to depart from the station.

Since then, I went back to my house in Doongan, Butuan City together with my family. For a few months, I was struggling to look for another job. Almost all vacancy that came across my eyes I applied for it.

Until one day my sister Ligaya working with DA Davao urged me to try to apply DA Caraga. Without hesitation, I tried and with GODs' divine intervention I was accepted. I started working with DA last July 23, 2008, and I was assigned to the Regional Agriculture and Fishery Information Division (RAFID). My job is to host the radio program of DA RFU 13 over DXMK Magik FM, write news, features, do documentation... in other words still related to media works...

Every Saturday I have board time (disc jockeying) on MAGIK FM 7-9 in the evening...

At present, I am now anchoring DA radio program entitled "Bahandi Sa Kaumahan" simultaneously aired over DXHR 1323 KHz on AM Band and DXIM 93.5 MHz on FM Band both known as Hope Radio. Its studio is located at Baan, Butuan City.
