NAVAL, Biliran – A simple yet sincere smile is the only gesture of gratitude that can be gleaned from the 50 kids, aged six years old, who received some of the basic school supplies they need in their schooling in Grade 1.
Some members of BCBP-Naval chapter and the Grade 1 pupils of NCS pose for posterity inside the NCS conference hall, June 3, 2014
These 50 identified Grade 1 pupils of Naval Central School were chosen by their teachers because of the financial inability of the parents to provide their basic school needs like a decent bag, some notebooks and other school supplies in time for the opening of classes on June 2.
Their predicament was immediately answered during the second day of classes on Tuesday, June 3, after the Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen and Professionals (BCBP)-Naval chapter answered their primary needs through its “Adopt A Pupil Project”.
The Adopt A Pupil Project of BCBP-Naval is one of the basic social services that the charismatic group wanted to share with the community.
For Noel Pla, BCBP-Naval chapter head who was just installed in February this year, sharing and helping people especially the underprivileged and disadvantaged group in the community, will really make God happy.
Pla and the rest of the members of the BCBP-Naval chapter envisioned to provide the identified kids safety nets for the future of their primary education through the provision of their basic needs like notebooks, papers, pencils, crayons and other school supplies needed in their schooling up to the time they will graduate from Grade 6.
This educational project of BCBP-Naval chapter pierced the heart of Tessie Bornillo, mother of Jessel, one of the recipients of the BCBP project as she candidly told how big is the contribution of the project for the sustainability in the schooling of her daughter in the elementary grade.
“Dako kaayo ang tabang niini kanako” (this is a big help to me) Tessie, 43 years old and who is also a mother of six children, said.
Tessie’s predicament in sending her kid to school was also shared by Danilo Sabucohan, 45 yearsl old and the father of John Denver, also a recipient of the BCBP project, who personally witnessed the distribution of the various school supplies held at the Naval Central School conference hall.
Danilo gladly told “pwerting dakoa ug iban ani sa akong inadlaw-adlaw nga panggastos” (this is really a big cut in my daily expenses).
Danny who earned a living through a rented sikad-sikad (pedicab) used to spend P10 a day for the school supply needs of just one child in the elementary grade.
Rays of hope for the future in achieving and finishing later the arduous six years in the elementary grade of the identified little angels from NCS was given more nurturing with the motherly advice from no less than the supervisor of the Naval North district, Ms. Charita Bernardes, a member also of BCBP-Naval chapter, who touched the tender minds of the recipients in the proper care of their school supplies in order to last long.
Bernardes likewise reminded the parents to do their shared responsibility as able partner for the sustainability of the project within the six years period.
Beginning today, these 50 little angels from NCS with their new backpack bag with notebooks, pencils and other school supplies inside carried in their back in reporting to their classes everyday; paints a picture of a bright future to come, a future full of promise and hope.

NAVAL, Biliran (PIA) – The Special Science Classes (SSC) remains to be one of the programs of the Naval School of Fisheries (NSF) in Naval, Biliran and will continue at the NSF campus contrary to reports that it will be transferred to another high school campus.
.
Fernando Zamora, SSC coordinator, clarified yesterday during the Kapihan at Pulong-Pulong ng Bayan over Radyo Natin-Naval hosted by the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), Biliran Provincial Information Center that no memorandum or any other orders from the Department of Education (DepEd) central office has ever been issued to suffice reports transferring the SSC to another school. Thus, SSC will remain at the NSF campus unless otherwise mandated by law.
Zamora assured that if ever DepEd central office decides to transfer the SSC to other academic school, students currently enrolled at the SSC-NSF campus will finish the program in the same school and will not be transferred to the new school.
Now on its fifth year of existence, the SSC coordinator wanted to clarify the issue of the SSC transfer for fear of possible failure of the program this time as a number of parents opted to enroll their students in other schools this school year instead of enrolling at the SSC NSF campus.
As of yesterday, enrollees at the SSC were only at 37 which is far from their target enrollment of 80 to make two sections, according to Zamora.
Since Rosario Canlas, DepEd, Division of Biliran Science Coordinator, clarified in a recent meeting with NSF faculty and staff that their is no orders from DepEd central office transferring the SSC program to other academic school.
Zamora informed the general public that they are still accepting enrollees and urged parents to enroll their children at the SSC.
The SSC is a subsidized educational program in the secondary school that aims at helping students with high potentials and inclinations in both mathematics and science to better prepare them in their preferred courses in college.
Qualified to enroll at the SSC are students whose general average ranges from 85% and above, must have passed the interview and qualifying examination, and must belong to the top 80% qualifiers. # (PIA 8 Biliran)

Yesterday, 19 June 2014 at around 2:15 in the afternoon, we flow tested well BN-4 after series of gas bleeding for several days. While the well was discharging gas and while waiting for the steam to flow, people working in the area were evacuated to a higher and safer ground to avoid possible inhalation of gas. Several minutes after reaching the safer ground, our gas detector started to beep, hence, the team started to move out in a safer area. At this juncture, my colleague started to fell down one after the other.
After rescuing the victims, Johannes Smari Porarinsson, Porstein Sigmarsson, Kevin Hasler, Armando Licup, Noland Maceda, Honey Rhoey Romero, Lee Marvin Moran and Victoriano Rosario were sent to Biliran Provincial Hospital for check-up and treatment. Jesusito Nimo did not undergone check-up.
Of the eight victims, three are member of the HSES team. They are Kevin Hasler, Honey Rhoey Romero and Lee Marvin Moran who had longer exposure in the area because of their nature of work, which is to rescue. The first two patients were sent to Chong Hua Hospital in Cebu by chopper for further check-up while Lee Marvin was sent to Ormoc Doctors Hospital also for further check-up. All these three has an asthmatic history. As of 11:30 AM today, it was reported to us that the above-mentioned names are in good condition. Jesusito Nimo requested a medical check-up today.
In the case of the above activity, several layers of protection were in place to protect and/or mitigate any unforeseen event that could harm the workers. These are:

Brgy. Atipolo’s lament. Since before summer, their faucets have been waterless during the day, and only drop water from midnight to 4 a.m., but not at all times. What is NWD doing about this problem?
In a phone interview with biliranisland.com, Mario C. Robenta, general manager of the Naval Water District, said the cause of low water pressure in Atipolo are – 1. Use of water in Naval poblacion has tripled, 2. Source of supply of water in one of NWD’s spring in Brgy. Talustusan which support also at Brgy. Atipolo has not been back to normal since we experienced hot season this year 2014, 3. Some consumers use pumps. Their solution is to wait for the SP of Biliran Province to turn over to them the Magtaran-an Source in Brgy. Talustusan. Their pipes are ready for Atipolo from Talustusan.
Addendum from NWD. We have controlled a valve in the poblacion going to Atipolo to increase water supply and pressure to the barangay, but there are also many users along the highway before water reach the brgy. proper.

The two Icelanders are working at the site on behalf of Icelandic engineering firm Mannvit.
According to Eyjólfur Árni Rafnsson, managing director of Mannvit, testing at the geothermal site was being carried out in the usual way. As often occurs, gas came to the surface but for some reason the employees suffered from hypoxia, causing them to pass out. The employees were immediately taken to hospital where they are said to have recovered quickly, ruv.is reports.
Work procedures will be reviewed as according to Eyjólfur such incidents should not occur.

Do you think the 40-meter No-Build zone from the shoreline should be implemented in Biliran Island? In our time, typhoons have become stronger. Last year Yolanda struck us, and now the Super Typhoon Neoguri (Florita) is threatening Japan.
If the 40 meters no build zone will be implemented in Biliran, thousands of Biliranons living along the coastal barangays will be rendered homeless. A 40-meters no build zone marker is shown in Brgy. Santo Niño, Naval.
Comments from Biliran Island Facebook Fan Page
Dave Hughes: No ……..to many people including myself already have spent allot of money building a family home on the water or on the shoreline. What needs to be done is simple. EVERY shoreline Brgy needs to have 1 solid cement building with solar power and rain water tanks that will shelter all persons living in areas that will be affected by the typhoon, The Mayor then needs to ensure all person are evacuated to the safe house many hours before the storm hits the Island.
Nibie Rosendal: For the sake of safetiness, YES!!
But let us also consider those family who already lived near shorelines from their existence. It would probably hard for them. Their livelihood as well. Whats appropriate here i think is an intensified info and alertness campaign from the LGUs on what to do if this deadly catastrophies happened.
