TABUK CITY, Kalinga – While many cooperatives in the country grapple with lack of liquidity, there is a growing number of cooperatives in Northern Luzon (NL)whose problem is where to put their idle funds.

Cooperative consultant Audie Joseph Samson said during the congress for cooperatives and managers in Cagayan de Oro City last week that from his personal observation, three out of 10 cooperatives in NL have problems with excess liquidity.

Samson who used to be the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Victo, the cooperative center in the Visayas, put the problem down to the cautiousness of most cooperatives in NL.

Petra Baguiwen, CEO of the Tabuk Multi-purpose Cooperative (TAMPCO), one of the Cordillera cooperatives which participated in the congress affected by the unusual problem, accepted that their idle funds has ballooned to P203M as of July 2010 because they are averse to taking risks.

“Due to bad experiences in the stock market in the past, we do not want to place our money in high-yielding but high risk investments. We just invest it in the banks,” Baguiwen informed.

By Estanislao Albano, Jr.

 

TABUK CITY, Kalinga – For several years now, the Commission on Audit (COA) and the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF) have been consistently noting the city government’s  poor collection of local revenues  including  provincially imposed taxes in which the city has interest  in their audit observation memos (AOMs).

 

The new city administration wants the observation excluded in future COA and BLGF AOMs.

 

Through Executive Order No. 2010-12, newly elected mayor Ferdinand Tubban created the Revenue Generation Task Force and mandated it to fully implement the Municipal Revenue Code of 2001 and applicable provisions of the Provincial Revenue Code and to coordinate with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) for the enforcement of the National Internal Revenue Code in the locality.

 

Chaired by city treasurer Constante Doctor, the task force counts among its members the provincial heads of the BIR and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the provincial treasurer and  the provincial assessor.

Hog epidemic raging in Tabuk City PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 16 August 2010 01:47

 By Estanislao Albano, Jr.

TABUK CITY, Kalinga – A hog epidemic which started two weeks ago has so far downed at least 150 hogs in six barangays in this city.

According to City Veterinarian Fermin Quinto, many of the affected hogs most of which are breeders have died.

The barangays hit by the hog epidemic are Bulanao Norte, San Juan, Laya East, Jose Anniban and San Julian. There are unverified reports that the epidemic has also spread to barangay Bulo.

Quinto said that the outbreak and spread of the epidemic which they suspect to be Porcine Reproductive Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) was very sudden so that “we felt like we were ambushed.”

He said that before they came to know about it, some hog raisers had already butchered their ill hogs and exchanged the meat for palay.
