MCDCB seeks help of NGAs for dev't projects

This is public administration on the works 

 The Metro Cebu Development andCoordinating Board (MCDCB) is seeking the help of key national government agencies (NGAs) in Cebu in implementing recommended projects addressing critical development issues in Metro Cebu.



MCDCB recently called for a convergence meeting with NGAs in Cebu to discuss how the government agencies can assist the board in ensuring that development projects in the pipeline will be funded and implemented.



MCDCB is a coordinating body for metro-wide planning and development which aims to facilitate the formulation, coordination, and monitoring of integrated development strategies, policies, and standards for the development, initially, of Metro Cebu.



"We still have a long way to go. NGAs will come into a more and more important role in the preparation of the projects, help us through the bureaucracy processes to get the projects approved," said Roberto Aboitiz, president of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) which facilitates the Mega Cebu program.



Aboitiz encouraged the NGA representatives to sustain their support for the board's vision under the Mega Cebu Vision and DevelopmentStrategy.



"You will be important in helping MCDCB find a way in the accelerators and not the barriers in bureaucracy," said Aboitiz during the meeting.



The board has raised the need to comply with the steps and requirements specified by the government in order to secure inclusion for project funding.



Evelyn Nacario-Castro, RAFI executive director, said they need the help of NGAs and government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) to guide them in finding out where to push the projects for funding.



MCDCB has 14 proposed anchor programs with ten flagship projects addressing development issues in the province.



Castro said that out of the 14 anchor programs, they are looking at three priority areas, namely: water (supply and drainage protection), solid waste, and traffic.

Cebu farmers become licensed seed growers

22 graduate scientists farmer growing seed certification course.


The Provincial Government recently trained 22 local farmers as seed growers to boost local production of corn seeds in Cebu given last December 16 to 18.

Officer-in-Charge Provincial Agriculturist Dr. Saragena Roldan said the training will support the Farmer Scientist Training Program (FSTP) of the Capitol.

" It will also give chance for farmers to earn more , "Saragena said.

The Capitol has been importing corn open-pollinated variety (OPV) seeds from the University of the Philippines Los BaƱos (UPLB) and in Mindanao for FSTP.

The trainer-speakers were Catalino Higida of the Cebu Technological University (CTU) -Barili Campus, Jun Acabal of the Regional Crop Protection Center (RCPC), Department of Agriculture (DA), Nancy Quinapon-, Provincal Agriculturist Office (PAO).

Higida lectured on the balanced nutrients needed by corn plants.

He also stressed the need for seed growers in Cebu. 


Acabal on the other hand, taught the farmers of integrated pest management while Quinapon- presented the measures how to prevent post-harvest losses.

Mirabel Amado, Agriculturist II, said the farmers are assured of a market since it will be the Province will be the one to buy the corn seeds from them.

However, these locally produced OPV seeds must first pass the standard of the National Seed Quality Control Services (NSQCS) of the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI).

" If it passes the standard, it will be called certified seeds and can be sold to the market and a higher value, "said Armado.

The current market price of certified seeds is P35 per kilo. Those without certification are only priced at P15 per kilo.


With the availability of OPV corn seeds, the farmers will have the option other than utilizing native corn seeds again. (Fcc / PIA-Cebu with reports from Xerxes Alkuino City PIO)
