DEVELOPING BREAKING NEWS: A Suspected Butuanon Loan Sharker attacking borrower's victim sparks outrage on camera in Agusan del Norte [#K5NewsFMExclusive]

BUTUAN, AGUSAN DEL NORTE -- In a distressing incident spreadly captured like wildfires on social media, an unidentified Butuanon female suspect, described as wearing a light pink t-shirt & green pants, has been implicated in a violent act against a borrower in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte. The incident took place at a local sari-sari store Monday (February 26th, 2024), causing an uproar among netizens online.

The graphic video, shared by a concerned individual named Ms. Jessim Oropo Dalen shown exclusively to 'K5 News FM', portrays the suspect confronting the borrower, who seems to be struggling to repay a loan either online or in-person via banks. The footage captures the suspect physically assaulting the victim in a public setting.

The clear description of the suspect, clad in a light pink t-shirt and green pants during this said incident, along with the violent nature of the assault, has unsettled the community and raised fears about the presence of loan sharks in the Agusan del Norte region. The risks rarely involved in illegal lending practices, which frequently involve coercion and aggression to ensure loan repayment on time, have been highlighted in this incident.

The case is being investigated by local authorities in Butuan, and they are incentivized for anyone who has relevant information to submit it thru the Butuan City Police Office (BCPO). The videos shared exclusively on Facebook (owned by Meta Platforms Inc.), have sparked widespread interest and criticism, leading to calls for justice for the victim and stricter measures against loan sharks. This also emphasizes the importance of financial literacy and responsible borrowing habits.

Efforts are underway to capture the suspect and ensure justice is later served as the investigation progresses, with a commitment to the safety and welfare of the community members being the top priority.

Updates on the investigation will soon to be provided between OneNETnews and K5 News FM as new details emerge.

Agusan del Norte Hit with Magnitude 5.9 Quake

A magnitude 5.9 tremor jolted parts of Agusan del Norte this Saturday morning at around noon. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) estimated the time at 11:22 a.m. when a quake which was tectonic in origin hit some 5 kilometers southwest of Las Nieves in the abovementioned province. The quake had a depth of 30 kilometers with the following reported…

Hello Piri 🕵🏾

I see that you have 82 provinces, that's a lot! How is the nature of your relations with them? 👀

The 18 Provinces are like my siblings, and their children are the 82 Regions, so that kind of makes me their uncle!

They're a blast when it comes to family gatherings, though we'll need to prepare a ton of food in advance. Cebu often brings lechon, he cooks it himself. Batangas has her comforting creamy Lomi, while Albay would rather sprinkle sili (hot peppers) on all of her dishes— like Bicol Express

We also have 8 twins that, okay sue me but I forget which is which a lot of times. Like Ilocos Norte/Sur, Misamis Oriental/Occidental, Agusan Del Norte/Del Sur, etc. . . They look so alike so I have to say pasensya a lot. Remembering people is not really my forte hahaha

Then occasionally I would forget that Zamboanga Del Norte and Del Sur aren't triplets with Zamboanga Sibugay. Pagpasensyahan na po si Tito lol

Though there's one that neither a Province or a Region— Manila.

He's really a rebellious spirit, but also kind of a rich pretty boy. So, it's like if you mixed in me and Mahárlika's personalities, you get Manila.

It's real awkward when they ask if Manila is our child tho, me and Lika are pretty much brothers :^

Compounding this issue is the scarcity of systematic excavations across the Philippines. With over 7,000 islands comprising our nation’s geography, conducting thorough archaeological explorations becomes a Herculean task, both logistically and financially. As a result, large swathes of our history remain untouched and unexplored.

Furthermore, there’s a tendency to favor grand historical narratives over the smaller, everyday discoveries that offer invaluable insights into past societies. This preference often stems from nationalist agendas, promoting a sanitized view of history that overlooks the nuances and complexities of our shared past. By neglecting these smaller finds, we risk distorting our understanding of the past and perpetuating narrow interpretations that fail to capture the full spectrum of human experience.

Take, for instance, the controversy surrounding the elusive Kalaga Putuan Crescent (KPC) – a purported kingdom located in what we now know as Butuan in Agusan del Norte. The mere mention of this kingdom has the potential to rewrite the narrative of pre-colonial Philippine history. A recent study delves into the depths of this “lost kingdom,” intertwining genetic and archaeological evidence in an impressive attempt to unveil the mysteries of precolonial Philippine culture.

This publication projects optimism, advocating for the power of scientific archaeology in the Philippines. Yet, amid the excitement, there’s a shadow of controversy, which highlights the need for more stringent, ethical research practices in archaeology to ensure our cultural artifacts are not misused or misrepresented.

My brain just busted out a full plot for Artifact Thief Gaz x Museum Curator Reader fic last night that turned into a whole Filipino folklore fantasy shite.

Like with the whole mythical creatures and reincarnations and diwatas and datus and shit + actual places around the PHL where action happens lololol

As in Gaz rappelling down the Ayala Museum and making his way to Agusan Del Norte with reader and all that shit AHHAHA i rly wish i could write this

Thing is I can't with so much on my plate now. Might just end up dumping the summary here.

Fearless Forecast Time

It’s pageant time again for my blog. The Miss Universe Philippines 2023 preliminaries just concluded today and I can now properly make a prediction on who I think deserves to win the coveted crown.

So... I'm just gonna make this real quick.

If I’m to place my bet on who would be the next Miss Universe Philippines, I’d place it on these five:

Cebu Province • Cavite • Bohol • Pampanga • Makati

However, anyone from this following group can sneak up there, depending on what happens on finals night:

Pasig • Baguio • Bulacan • Davao Oriental • Sorsogon

Also, I wouldn’t mind seeing in the finals the Taguig, Negros Oriental, Eastern Samar, Capiz, and Parañaque.

My last and ultimate wish is that—although I personally think they may have slimmer chances than anyone mentioned above—for Zambales, Agusan del Norte, and Benguet (especially BENGUET) to get a miracle and somehow make it through.

Nakabili kami ng CebPass last year. Para makatipid, imbes na direct flight to Siargao ay tinake namin yung byahe papuntang Butuan City sa Agusan del Norte.

Mula Butuan airport need mo mag van papuntang Surigao City sa halagang 400. It will take 2 and a half hours sa byahe. Ambibilis ng van dito, kahit puro curve ang daan at solid line sa kalsada ay ibang iba ang tulin ng sasakyan.

Pagdating sa terminal ay need mag multicab para makapuntang port. 12php ang fare. Fastcraft ang sinakyan namin na boat, 3hrs kasi pag roro tas sa fastcraft 1 and half lang. Sanay naman akong sumakay ng boat pero ibang takot ang naramdaman ko habang sakay kami ng boat kasi nasa ilalim na part kami. Ang lakas ng alon kahit fine ang weather. Di naman ako takot lumubog ang bangka pero takot ako na tumaob kasi nga nandun kami sa ilalim na part at wala akong makitang exit if ever magka problema. Umiral na naman pagiging negative overthinker ko.

Habang bumibyahe kami inisip ko na kaya nga ako nagpunta dito ay para magrelax pero mas nakaka stress at nakakapagod ang byahe. Naisip ko nga na sana nag Bora na lang kami. Kung may sapat lang sana kaming pera di kami magtitiis ng ganun.

Biophysical Factors Affecting Height and Diameter Structures of Falcata (Falcataria falcata) in Agusan del Norte, Philippines

Abstract

This study aims to support private tree farmers in making knowledgeable management decisions in their falcata plantation. The effect of biophysical factors on the height and diameter structures of 6-year-old Falcata (Falcataria falcata) at various elevations (0-200 m asl, 201-400 m asl, and 401-600 m asl) in Agusan was investigated in this study. Fifteen (15) 20 m x 20 m plots were created at each sampling site a total of 45 plots were established. In this study, the height and diameter structures of 6-year-old falcata were measured and analyzed. Results indicate that elevation, temperature, relative humidity, and soil potassium are key factors influencing the height and diameter structures of 6-year-old falcata trees. The mean height and diameter were highest in the middle elevation, or within 201-400 m asl, and lowest in the higher elevation, or 401-600 m asl. The temperature has a negative and significant relationship with the height and diameter structures of 6-year-old falcata, and tree spacing had a negative relationship with height.

Introduction

Falcataria falcata (L.) Greuter & R. Rankin) is a huge tree with a first branch reaching a height of up to 20 meters. Falcata trees can reach 100 cm in diameter, have a spreading flat crown, and form a wide umbrella-shaped canopy when growing in the open, with the buttress being tiny or absent (Krisnawati et al., 2011). Tree growth patterns in forest stands vary between locations and individual trees due to both internal and external variables. Environmental variables vary concerning elevation within a species geographical range, resulting in regional diversity in site conditions that may limit growth (Barry, 1992). A higher growth rate boosts a species competitive ability and survival in favorable conditions (Vitasse, 2009).

The elevational gradient plays an important role in a tree or stands growth since trees have different ecological and physiological requirements for survival. Understanding how tree growth responds to environmental gradients is crucial for comprehending the ecology of species distribution and forest ecosystems, as well as for predicting future ecosystem services, as stated by Rapp et al. (2012). The growth and mortality rates of trees can be influenced by the elevation, as each species has an optimal altitude level for planting suitability. Some authors suggest that tree growth may decline with elevation (Coomes and Allen, 2007; Leigh, 1975; Bruijnzeel and Veneklaas, 1998; Girardin et al., 2010)

Pathogens (Mallett and Volney, 1999), insects (Rhoades and Stipes, 1999), competition with other trees (Nowak and McBride, 1991; Rhoades and Stipes, 1999), and competition with other vegetation are all biotic variables linked to lower tree growth rates in ecosystems (Close et al., 1996). Gall rust appears to be more common in falcata species at higher elevations. Anino (1991) emphasizes that minor infections occur at lower elevations of 250 meters above sea level, while major infections occur at elevations of 275 to 500 meters above sea level. Severe instances were discovered at elevations ranging from 400 to 600 meters above sea level (Lacandula et al., 2017).

There is a need to investigate the influence of biophysical factors on the height and diameter structures of the falcata at different elevation because the knowledge of how this plant responds are of paramount significance in understanding its ability to respond to climate change. In the Philippines, falcata is one of the most important species for industrial tree plantations (ITPs). Despite the importance of the species, there is no empirical data about its height and diameter structures concerning different elevations.

The study hypothesized that the height and diameter structures of 6-year-old falcata will decline with elevation. More specifically, the hypothesis suggests that the height and diameter structures of the species will reduce at higher elevations due to their vulnerability under such conditions.

BALITANG LOKAL: New Local Radio Station 'Radyo Sincero' launched in Dumaguete City [#OneNETnewsEXCLUSIVE]

DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- A brand-new local radio station hit the Negrosanon airwaves in late-August this year as 95.9 'Radyo Sincero' launched right here in the City of Gentle People, popularly known as Dumaguete. It is situated on the 2nd floor of an unknown building, across Sunbets Building in 'Brgy. Tinago, Baybay, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental', and on the right is next door to former FM radio translator of 105.7 DYSQ-FM's Radyo Bisdak: Siquijor, just only few meters before the highway of Rizal Boulevard.

News reaching that the Negrosanons is now all abuzz with excitement as it readies itself to go on the air, promising to bring out a fresh mix of news and music to this airwaves.

Speaking exclusively to OneNETnews, a male Assistant Station Controller was barely able to contain the excitement over the first day of Radyo Sincero. He revealed that 'Radyo Sincero' will broadcast the popular syndicated radio programme 'Sincerely, Ate Arlyn' of 'Herbz Med Pharma', to be heard across all regions in the Visayas and Mindanao.

The nameless Assistant Station Controller said Radyo Sincero operates the best music on free radio, besides informative and relevant reports to the Filipino people. The station will cover the latest local news in Dumaguete City and regional updates from Negros Oriental and plans to expand the coverage to Cebu, Bohol and Siquijor in the Central Visayas region.

The identity of the station manager of Radyo Sincero in Dumaguete City remains undisclosed at this time. In addition, whether or not the station is owned -- if it's affiliated or commercially independent remains undetermined. Speculations towards its provisional authority or possible disapproval by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) of a regional radio franchise are reportedly under its official ambit while waiting for the clearance of Philippine president 'Ferdinand Romualdez (Bongbong) Marcos Jr.' [BBM].

Things have turned skeptical as yet, though, there has been no confirmation on the test broadcast or official launch date for Radyo Sincero in Dumaguete City would be held. But the latter's Facebook pages (a social media company of Meta Platforms Inc. [MPi]), have revealing all the frequencies of Radyo Sincero provincial stations in Mindanao and the Visayas, with their likes of 101.9 in Butuan, Agusan del Norte; 88.7 in General Santos, South Cotabato; 102.9 in Koronadal, South Cotabato; 100.7 in Kidapawan, Cotabato; 94.3 in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay; and 93.1 in Zamboanga City. In the Visayas, frequencies include 106.1 in Canla-on, Negros Oriental (replacing 'Radyo Bisdak: Canla-on' under Bisdak Media Group), and now, 95.9 in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.

Looking ahead, Radyo Sincero plans to tackle the hottest issues in their commentaries from the male radio anchor hosts in the coming weeks, while continuing to provide top-notch music throughout the day and night.

Currently here coz of some robbery problems at the small house in the province. What I can say is at the very least, we are all still safe albeit the other missing stuff. What we can do is try to move forward. The good thing about it is we'll have a quick 1 week travel trip to Singapore and Malaysia on September. It'll be amazing I know it. I'm excited for another travel adventure, this time with family. A change of scenery from time to time is truly helpful for our mental health so we all appreciate this travel treat from my sis.

As for Brett, he is still in Uganda being amazing in his ecological field. 20 days left until he gets back to the UK and be able to call me again everyday as much as he can. I'm sure he'll do great in his research.

I'm just glad we are still calm despite these hurdles. Younger me would've been pretty frustrated already and probably brooding for days.

I feel like it's the travelling that cured it, you know. Seeing new horizons and majestic views all contributed to this inner calm. Learning about a different culture first hand is also a factor to achieve this calm. Of course, being on the journey with great people also helped so much. We truly were very blessed to have been crossed paths with amazing people with good hearts and pure intentions.
