New opportunity in weaving seen for Blaan community
By Joy Sevilla
MALUNGON, Sarangani (October 31, 2009) - The Lamlifew Tribal Women’s Association (LTWA) in barangay Datal Tampal in the town of Malungon has a promising future with the introduction of utilizing processed silk instead of abaca fibers in making indigenous fabrics.
Aside from it is done easier and faster with silk, the effort of Blaan weavers in coming up with native fabrics would also be financially rewarding as fabrics made out of silk are more expensive that its price is almost twice higher when sold.
October 22, 2009 marked the “day of change” for the weavers of LTWA. Two master weavers of the Iban tribe from Sarawak, Malaysia visited the Lamlifew Village Museum for the exchange of knowledge about their respective culture and learn from each other’s experiences particularly in weaving.
The four-day visit, which ended on October 25, was one of the projects of Rosevida Alcantara Dominguez, mother of Sarangani Governor Migs Dominguez.
During the first day of the visit-workshop, the master weavers named Nancy Ngali and Bangie Embol, together with Alfonso Guinoo, a Davaoeño who promotes hand-woven fabrics, his Chinese friend, Edric Ong, a renowned textile designer in Southeast Asia, and Mrs. Dominguez, were welcomed by Blaan artists in the community through a cultural dance.
Both Blaans and the visitors expressed their gratitude for the conduct of the workshop which later brought out further skills and mastery of the Blaan weavers.
The visitors showed samples of their fabrics made of silk and also brought out with them some materials and equipment to be used in the activity.
Ong said, the Malaysian weavers had been using cotton for weaving fabrics for several years, but currently, they are also using silk because they realized how better it is to produce fabrics out of such material.“For silk weaving, you can demand higher price. We sell fabrics out of silk to those who want to hang it as a piece of art. For foreign ladies from Europe, America, and Japan, they buy the product and use it as shawl,” he said. “Processed silk fiber is taken from cultured worms and it is imported from China.”
Mrs. Dominguez, on the other hand, was also thankful that the Blaan weavers openly accepted the idea of having the workshop. She said introducing change is good without attempting to change the culture of the tribe.“What we just want to introduce is how to have a better quality fabric. Sometimes, it is also good that some people teach us to make things better. With this new learning, we hope that more women will be interested and be engaged in the activity because they will be able to see how easy the weaving process is done using the material,” she asserted.She added that the introduction of silk in weaving is also an advantage to children in the community because at their young age, they will realize the benefits of using silk compared to abaca fibers.She could provide the materials needed should the Blaan weavers want to sustain and continue the use of silk for weaving.
Getting along with the Malaysian weavers is more interesting than just see them weave. It was learned that they got similar patterns with the Blaans in weaving. A few terminologies of the materials used in Blaan weaving were also similar to that of the Malaysians such as blileh, a flattened piece of wood which is used for tightening the fabrics.
Nancy said they also have several trees and plants in their community which they use for natural dyeing. She greatly appreciated how the Blaan weavers do in coming up with abaca strands that she even tried it herself.
Nancy often does the talking than Bangie when interacting with the local people in the community as she knows how to speak English language. But Bangie was observed to be more talkative when she and Nancy were left alone.
In their last day in the community, Bangie said she had a very good encounter during the workshop, while Nancy said she could not forget the treatment she experienced in the community.“Here, we often eat, we easily get fat,” she said smiling. She added in Malaysia, they do not eat much rice. She was amazed that in the Lamlifew community, they eat rice thrice a day excluding the heavy snacks of kamote (sweet potato) or banana.Such kind of visit is the first ever one since the Lamlifew Village Museum was established in 2007.
The community further hopes to meet people who do not only help them grow in their craft, but also fill them with knowledge through exchanging culture practices and experiences that they could never forget. (Joy Sevilla/SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE)

IPs affirm ties with Chiongbian family
ALABEL, Sarangani (October 29, 2009) - The commitment of the Chiongbian family to continuously support the development of the indigenous people (IPs) in the province was formalized during the National Indigenous People's Thanksgiving Day at the Capitol gym, introducing businessman Roy Chiongbian as the successor of the family in giving assistance to the IPs.
The Thursday (October 29) activity was highlighted with a tribal ceremony of acceptance for Roy Chiongbian as a follower of his parents, the late former Congressman James Chiongbian and former Governor Priscilla Chiongbian, in continuing the legacy of public service in the province; and the signing of the 2009 Covenant for Indigenous Peoples' Development among the municipal chieftains and other officials of the seven municipalities.
During the tribal ceremony, the tribe accepted Roy as their brother and "new adopted" whom they believe can introduce further development in their communities.
The covenant contains the ten-point agreement for IPs' development including the strengthening of tribal councils; literacy development and scholarship program; development of settlement areas for IPs; support for the development of ancestral domain; development of roads and bridges; health, sanitation, potable water and school buildings; livelihood development program; promotion of peace and order; promotion of Sarangani IPs' cultural heritage; and a sectoral seat in Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
Chiongbian, in his speech, pointed out that developing IPs is one of the top priorities of his mother during the latter's governance.
"In 2000, my mother entered into the same agreement, but now that she's no longer in office, my family and I will continue to support you. I am Roy Chiongbian and I am here for you," he said.
As a new brother and member of the tribe, Chiongbian was also given recognition as Datu Gifu by the T'bolis and Fulong Tmugad by the Blaans.
Edmund Pangilan, the newly-installed provincial tribal chieftain, said it is just proper to give conferment to Roy as his family also recognizes the tribe in the province.
Conferment is the act of giving something such as a title or honor or favor to somebody."We gave him the names Datu Gifu and Fulong Tmugad because these names only mean that he will be the one to continue what has been started by his parents for the development of the IPs," Pangilan said. "Nakasalalay na karon sa iyang abaga ang kalamboan sa tribo."
Meanwhile, Datu Caleasa Katug, the municipal tribal chieftain of Maitum, believes that Chiongbian can well perform his obligation for the IPs."Sumala sa among paghimamat sa iyaha, among nakita nga duna g'yud siya'y pagbati," he said, adding that Roy Chiongbian also has the heart for the IPs.

383 beneficiaries now with Sarangani scholarship program
ALABEL, Sarangani (October 28, 2009) - The number of beneficiaries in the "Paaral Para Sa Sarangan” (PPSS) scholarship program has increased to 383, this was bared during the first ever Sarangan Scholars Day held Tuesday (October 27) at the Provincial Capitol.
Dubbed with the theme, "PPSS, Bridging Sarangani into a Brighter Future," the activity was highlighted with the turnover of the YACAP (You Against Corruption and Poverty) Foundation Scholarship Program by Rep.
Carol Lopez of YACAP Partylist to the local government unit (LGU) of Sarangani as its partner to continuously support the dreams of poor but deserving students.In her message, Lopez said there was a need for some collaborations in order for the program to grow, thus YACAP welcomed the idea of forging partnership with the LGU of Sarangani.
The YACAP Foundation was organized in 2006 and presently has 10 scholars, while PPSS started in 2002 with only 20 scholars for an appropriation of P100,000.
From 20, the number of PPSS scholars significantly increased to 152 in 2005. Currently, the program has a total of 383 scholars, 129 of which are already graduates.
Governor Migs Dominguez said that scholars should be inspired to keep on moving despite failures. He challenged them to be the pride of Sarangani as they "owe their education to the people of the province."
"I am not the one paying for your education, but the people of Sarangani are paying for your education. You must see yourselves as the seed of your crop, you must be the champion in your own barangay, municipality, and province," the governor said.
He pointed out that of the 100 students who finished high school, only 20 to 25 of them enters college, and only 10 actually finishes a degree. This is the reason why the PPSS scholarship program was initiated to produce more quality graduates that could someday lead Sarangani in the future.
Vice Governor Steve Chiongbian Solon said they expect that the number of outstanding PPSS scholars will increase in the next coming years.
He said the program has already produced one magna cum laude and seven cum laudes in various fields of interest."We expect that we could bring out more magna cum laude and cum laude. Hopefully, next year, we could have our own Sarangani State College, we try to make education more accessible so there will be enough qualified students to enter college," he said.
Rehna Joy Sotto, a PPSS scholar who graduated as a cum laude and who is now working with the provincial office of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and Ariston Cortel, a certified public accountant now working with the Provincial Accounting Office, both shared how the program made their dreams come true.
They disclosed the importance of the program in their studies."I used my allowance to start a small business. I sell foods in school so I could use the proceeds for my requirements. I even helped my parents to buy rice and groceries for our consumption at home when I had extra money," Sotto said.
"I consider myself very lucky that I am a scholar of the PPSS. So, students who are also beneficiaries of this program, study hard and strive for your goals and don't let this opportunity to slip away," Cortel said. (Joy Sevilla/SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE)

Sarangani's accounting office is "outstanding"
ALABEL, Sarangani (October 21, 2009) – Sarangani’s provincial accounting office, with Pangasinan and Rizal, won over 81 provinces nation-wide in the annual selection of outstanding accounting offices in the provincial level category for year 2008.
This is the second time the province received the award since 1997.
It is an honorary annual award given by the Association of Government Accountants of the Philippines (AGAP) to provincial offices for adopting decentralized accounting system and for having “exemplary met the criteria on accuracy, timeliness, reliability and compliance to accounting rules and regulations set by the committee on awards” which is headed by the Commission on Audit (COA).
The recognition served as the highlight during the recent AGAP annual convention anchored on the theme “The Global Financial Crisis: an Opportunity to Examine What We Are Doing Right” which President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo noted as “very timely and relevant, in light of current global financial crisis.”
As public accountants, Arroyo said, they are in the “best position to help the country in coping with the global economic downturn.”
“By guaranteeing transparency, reliable and cost-effective accounting services to (your) clients, I am certain that we can safeguard the reforms that we have taken over the past years,” she added.
Sarangani provincial accountant Leovigildo Librando said the computerization of their system made easy for them to get the award.
“Hindi na kami nahihirapan sa mga supporting schedules because it is in the system,” Librando said.
He said they can “ensure accuracy” of the reports like bank reconciliation and notes to financial statements and others which are submitted to COA to check on the accuracy and conformity on accounting rules as among the criteria for the award.
Librando attributed the award to the support of his staff and to Governor Migs Dominguez especially for releasing approximately P1 million to fund the computerization of their system in 2006.
Dominguez noted the strictness of the accounting office in financial disbursements in Sarangani that must conform with COA rules which, he said, has translated to an award that illustrates transparency in Sarangani. (Beverly Paoyon/SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE)

Good governance pays off
By Joy Sevilla
ALABEL, Sarangani (October 21, 2009) - SARANGANI Province is undeniably a must-visit province in the Southernmost part of the island of Mindanao. It is one of the premier tourism destinations in the Socsksargen growth area where every tourist is assured of a vast natural resources and rich cultural heritage of its tri-people comprised of Muslims, Christians, and the Indigenous People (IPs).
Sarangani is named after Sarangani Bay. Its name is legendary as stories were told about an adventurous Sangil sailor from the coast of Celebes of Indonesia whose voyages often brought him to the Sultanate of Buayan, now known as the City of General Santos. The sailor's character impressed the people, so was the bay was named in his integrity.
Former Congressman James L. Chiongbian, husband of Priscilla Chiongbian, who was the first governor of the province, is credited for carving out Sarangani Province from South Cotabato, an act that brought further development into the new province.
He was the principal author of Republic Act (RA) 7228 passed on July 27, 1987 that finally made Sarangani province as an independent province on March 16, 1992.
Meanwhile, the congressman's wife, Priscilla, became the first governor-elect of the province on November 28, 1992. She led the other officials to swear before then President Fidel V. Ramos at the provincial capitol.
With the leadership of former Governor Priscilla Chiongbian, the province was recognized as a key player in the Socsksargen area. Its major industries including coconut, fruit and vegetable, rice and corn for agriculture, and milkfish, tilapia, and prawn for the aquaculture sector, were widely distributed to its neighboring cities and provinces.
The Chiongbians are known for their political will. Based on research, James advocated enactments that stimulated socio-economic development not only in the Socsksargen area, but also in Mindanao when he sponsored the act creating the Mindanao Economic Development Authority (Meda). It is a bill that aims to strengthen the current Mindanao Economic Development Council(Medco), an agency that leads various socio-economic development efforts in Mindanao through the participation of various sectors in the region.
The congressman also value education. He worked for the construction of trade schools in General Santos City and in Glan, the Kling Comprehensive High School, and moved for the establishment of over 1,500 units of pre-fabricated school buildings during his tenure in Congress.
Later on, he established the Alabel Science High School in the capital of Sarangani Province, Alabel town, and provided scholarships to poor but deserving students of the province.
Through his initiatives, he was accorded by the people of Sarangani the First Sarangan Award in May 19, 1999 recognizing his leadership excellence.
His wife, Priscilla, on the other hand, has also introduced several programs and initiatives that have resulted to Sarangani Province's growth. The capitol building and other structures within the capitol park served as a landmark of the province's development during her administration.
She has also introduced environmental management initiatives and support systems during her stewardship such as the Luntiang Sarangani Program; Environmental Sanitation Program; the Provincial Forest Land Use Plan; Coastal Resource Management Program; Commercial Crops Development Program; the Upland Development Program; Water Resource Management Program; Environmental and Natural Resources Accounting Project; and the Integrated Solid Waste Management Program.
Every program implemented underwent critical analysis in order to identify the program's strength, weaknesses, and sustainability. Implementing these projects, Sarangani Province today is reaping the hallmarks of the good governance it had in the past. (Joy Sevilla/SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE)
