PCL-DVO OR CHAPTER MARKS HISTORY WITH FEDERATION CHAPTER ELECTION
The province scores history again with the Phil. Councilors’ League Federation Chapter Election on August 24, 2010 at the Honey's Function Hall, as almost all the contested positions were unopposed, and it was only the position of the Treasurer that was contested by two local legislators, both from the second district of the province.
It was an easy win for President Vicente Castillones, Sr. from the municipality of Boston, Vice-president Basher Musa from the municipality of Governor Generoso, Secretary Alan Andrada of Mati, Auditor Liezel Tevel of Banaybanay, Business Manager Art Benjie Bulaong of Tarragona, PRO Rey Oliveros of Mati, while Romeo Bote from the municipality of Lupon was elected Treasurer over Eva Geollegue of Banaybanay.
“It is heartwarming that the response was overwhelming, but running unopposed is no big deal as it carries great responsibility. I have to summon every effort I can muster, and with your support and divine intervention, I will be able to prove do the tasks reposed on me,” Castillones said.
For the first time in the history of the sectoral representations at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the municipality of Boston is now ably represented.

GOV CORA MALANYAON: TOUCHING AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE (AGAIN) TO THE LIVES OF DVO OR FOLKS
Friday, 03 September 2010 07:05 | Written by Neela G. Duallo |
City of Mati, Davao Oriental – There is no better way to touch the lives of the ordinary people, than to reach out to them, be with them even for a day or just even hours, and know what and how they feel, and know their needs. Such is more than enough for the ordinary people in the barangays for them to feel that the government feels for them, and absolutely, they are a one very pivotal composition of government and public service. For the new mandate given to her, Gov. Corazon Malanyaon knows that she has to do just that so she could accomplish her ultimate goal of serving the people of Davao Oriental, and particularly through the upliftment of the delivery of health services, as she has been emphasizing time and again.The Mati Medical Outreach Program of Gov. Malanyaon started on August 26, 2010, in 8 barangays of Mati and to conclude on August 30 in the farthest baranays if Luban, Lanca, and Cabuaya. The medical outreach program is a continuation of what the Governor started last year in the other municipalities of the province that can be dubbed as “3 service package-in-one”.

Monday, 23 August 2010 02:56 | Written by Neela G. Duallo |
Mati, Davao Oriental – Pushing for a far better service to its member consumers by responding to the need of sufficient power supply, the Davao Oriental Electric Cooperative (DORECO) decided to pursue the plan of having another power supply for the province of Davao Oriental through Cateel River, in the municipality of Cateel. DORECO Board President Chito Gregorio revealed that the cooperative is now laying the plan and working on it’s materialization. “The first move is to make a feasibility study on the seemingly ambitious project. The study will run for six months to a year. And in that case, we hope to finish the feasibility study next year, after which, we will already be asking a permit from the Dept. of Energy (DOE),” he said. Since the project could never be a possibility without the needed budget, DORECO already plans to make arrangement with Dev’t Bank of the Philippines (DBP), and to other financial institutions for a loan transaction, to be paid within 12 years after the completion of the project.
“Once we have the hydropower plant in Cateel, definitely, rate in electricity will go down. We can now minimize the use of the NAPOCOR power supply and compliment what is lacking in our power consumption with the power generation from the hydropower plant,” he explained. However, Gregorio also reported that the power service has improved in the last weeks with the start of the rainy season, or with the rain enjoyed by the country in the past days which resulted to the resumption of the dams operation.
