General Santos City Proximity for Business Hub
General Santos City Proximity for Business Hub
By. Abs Damahan
GENERAL SANTOS CITY (ABSDAMAHAN’SLIVE-STREAM NEWS TV/ June
22, 2014) Global business and Geo-politics are intermittent equilibrium balance
of power that should reviewed by world planner undertaking serious study to
address imbalances in the distribution of world production of goods whether it
is raw materials and finished products.
At the concluded MSME and SMED Council Going Global Conference
small and medium enterprise is merely in the disadvantaged position to compete
with well equip and well prepared big business group and big company in the new
trend of globalization business concept. The small one is always left behind by
the conglomerate big conrporation.
By September 2014, Mindanao Business Conference (BizMinCon)
in short General Santos City will be chosen venue of this conference, the main
agenda will focus on the ASEAN INTEGRATION and many top line agenda to be
discussed during this BizMinCom 2014. By 2015 whether we like it or not ASEAN
Integration will be implemented by its member of the 10 nation’s Asian block.
How do we cope-up by then, if we don’t prepare of new business policy
formulated and adopted by ASEAN Council for this purpose. By just merely listening as volunteer from the
media group during the Micro Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Going Global
Conference with the Theme: “Turning MSMEs and Farmers into Exporter” at the KCC
Convention Center, GSC from June 20-21, 2014, they don’t even understand what
it is ASEAN Integration? How do we join and participate to ASEAN Business group,
if it is, we don’t know what is going on the new paradigm of business concept
and business strategy of this new business alliance? It does really make me
worry what I heard and observed from invited participants.
The proximity of Makar International
Port and GenSan International Airport to
rest of the World is so favorable for Global business considering of its
location in the Global maps, as you can see the route from GenSan, Bitung,
Menado, Surabaya Indonesia and Singapore and other International ports nearby
Philippine Archipelago. If all this facilities be upgrade Makar International
Port would be and can be Transshipments of Global productions. Three factors
are there in one basket: Airport, Seaport and Container Van Warehouses. But the
negative side of it, “there is no improvement as you can visited all these three
facilities.” GenSan International Airport X-Ray Machine dysfunctional according
to my source it needs upgrading to purchase new X-Ray equipment.
Mr. Rene Pamintuan has quoted in his presentation at the
conference, “50-60 container van Makar International Port can accommodate and
can ship-out to any points of destination globally in one week time, but, we are
shortage of container van during peak season of delivery of good for exports”,
Pamintuan said.
Go na! Negosyo na! “Yabong Maliliit na Negosyo sa Rehiyon 12”.

PRELIMINARY ON CASE STUDY ON THE MASS REARING OF THE
UNIDENTIFIED PARASITOID OF THE COCONUT INSECT SCIENTIFIC NAME (HEMIPTERA:
DIASPIDIDAE)
By.
ABSDAMAHAN’SLIVE-STREAM NEWS TV/ June 17, 2014) Public Hearing on case
study at Session Hall General Santos City. On their 46th Regular
Session Sangguniang Panglungsod.
Researchers: V.C. Gallego, C.E., Gallego and L.S. Doronio,
SRS II and Scientist I, Division Chief III and Laboratory Aide. Crop Protection
Division, Davao Research Center, Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA)
Case Study
ABSTRACT
An unidentified parasitoid attacking coconut scale insect
(CSI), Aspidiotus sp. was discovered after series of intensive field survey and
collection in Davao region. The said wasp was suspected to be genus of Aphytis
and observed to be a potential biological control agent of the pest.
Initial results on its biology and behavior under laboratory
condition and their efficiency in the field were conducted at PCA-Davao
Research Center. Successful mass production protocol of the parasitoid in the
laboratory was developed. The technique involves rearing of coconut scale
insect on the squash fruits as host of the parasitoid. This method is currently
being used to produce considerable number of parasitoids for field release in
scale insect-infested areas.
A satellite laboratory for the mass propagation of the
parasitoid was established in Isabela City, Basilan for the control of coconut
scale insect (CSI) infestation in the island. A large mass production laboratory
is being proposed in Batangas and Laguna where heavy CSI infestation was found.
IMPORTANCE
·
Aspidiotus sp. Are tiny sucking insects found
attached and fed on the underside of coconut leaves; and also found on the
nuts.
·
In advance cases: affected leaflets may dry out
due to sap loss, wilting of fronds and finally wither, premature nut-fall,
significant yield reduction and death of the palm.
·
The initial outbreak of the pest was reported in
Tanauan, Batangas in 2010 and spreading to adjacent areas in Southern Luzon.
·
Two years after, the coconut trees in the Island
of Basilan was infested by the same pest.
·
PCA already implemented control strategies such
as leaf pruning of infested leaves/fronds, fertilizer application, spraying
with cochin oil, insecticide spraying and release of predatory coccinellid
beetles.
ACTIVITIES
A.
Explore mass rearing technques
B.
Conduct initial biological studies (life cycle,
fecundity, longevity)
C.
Conduct hands-on training on the mass production
of the parasitoids
SALIENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
A.
Rearing of the host coconut scale insect
1. Secure clean mature squash fruits and CSI infested leaves
2. Allow CSI crawlers to transfer onto squash fruits.
3. Once CSI are established, keep squash in individual rearing tray until
crawlers developed into 2nd instars for parasitization process.
4. Prepare as many infested squash in larger plastic trays for the
introduction of the parasitoids.
B. Rearing the Unidentified Parasitoid
1. Healthy
and parasitized CSI on squash place together in larger rearing tray for
parasitization.
2. After
one week, remove the introduced squash (la) from the rearing tray and transfer
to another tray for parasitoid emergence.
3.Replace
or introduce another healthy 2nd instar CSI on squash ( same as la )
for parasitization.
4. Repeat
the procedures from 1 to 3 for continuous mass production of the unidentified
parasitoid. Make sure there are still emerging adult parasitoids from the
parasitized CSI ( 1b )
5. The parasitized CSI on the squash ( at
least 15 day old from exposure ) are now ready for field release.
C. Method of Release in the
Field
1. Release two pieces of squash with
paralyzed CSI per hectare. Allow emerging parasitoids to fly freely and find
its host. Repeat field releases monthly once stocks are available.
Initial studies on the biology,
emergence and efficiency of the unidentified CSI parasitoid
·
Total developmental period. 17.67 days ( from
egg to adult emergence ).
·
One mated female parasitoid can produced an ave.
of 6.53 wasps.
·
Adult longevity can be enhanced to 3.07 days
when fed with honey.
·
Emergence of the parasitoids is ver pronounce in
the morning with 81.17% emergence.
·
Initial observation on the field efficiency of
the parasitoid revealed 29.88% parasitism.
IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
·
The unidentified parasitoid suspected to the Aphytis
sp. Can be a potential biological control agent against the coconut scale
insect.
·
Biological control using this parasitoid can be
a long term control strategy for the CSI to reduce its population into a
manageable level.
·
Therefore, to produce considerable number of the
parasitoids for the field release, a large mass production laboratory should be
established in the CSI outbreak areas.

Fellowship Night.
By. Abs Damahan
General Santos City (ABSDAMAHAN’S

local officials, PNP , law
enforcers and media who all the ways supporting him for his administration,
Mayor River said. He made an assurance publicly, he will supports PNP and other the law enforcers for the maintenance
of peace and order of General Santos City. He is positive said, the local
government and law enforcers including AFP
and media will work together harmoniously for the development of the city.
Rivera added, “For the past few months, there is a signed of peace and order
improvement of the city now”. But, on negative side, the wariness of the
conservative group of GenSan is the increased of the single Mom and also
teenage pregnant surrounding the city and the increased of HIV-infected cases
of the city.
Another negative side of effect
for the prospect of investors coming to Mindanao. “Because we are from Mindanao,
the impression of investors is so negative towards the region, who doesn’t know
Mindanao”. Rivera said.
For the positive side, Mayor
Rivera has its own plan for the updating of the city Comprehensive Land Used
Plan (CLUP) - By laws all LGU is mandating to prepare and submitted CLUP to
national office.
Mayor Rivera has some good point’s
agenda in his local administration particularly on peace, security and
development. He also discussed the expansion of the city in terms of economic
and development as we seen now on the expansion of the road projects within
city and somewhere else of GenSan. Rivera has in mind GenSan should have it
showcase and roadmap plans for the promotion of the city for both local and
even abroad, Mayor Rivera lamented in his impromptu message to us.
With this kind of leadership
Mayor Rivera has reserved in mind imagining GenSan from the status of first
class city to become modern and Mega City in a couple of years. What do think
Generals? Maraming projects ang GenSan ngayon.
He made mentioned on national economic perspective
of Philippine economic growth achievement for the year 2012 and year 2013 from
the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) reports. 2012 growth robust 6.8%
and 2013 growth of 7.2% respectively, but he has still wariness of poverty line
threshold still on the ratio 25%. He is convincing local development planners
to come-up with poverty reduction formula to reduce it even 15% at the end of
2016, Rivera suggested.
In his final and closing message
as usual “Thank you very much…Daghang Salamat sa tanan”.
