Farming Sunday
BIO-SECURITY AND SANITATION REQUIRED
IN SUCCESSFUL POULTRY FARM OPERATION
By Manny Pinol

Many people who are not familiar with the critical operations of a poultry farm, or a livestock farm, sometimes feel
offended when they are refused entry to some areas of the farm.
If only they realize that human beings are the most efficient carriers of poultry and livestock diseases, they would
understand the deep concern of farm owners on the presence of strangers in the critical areas of the farm like the
breeding and brooding areas.
One disease-carrying individual, who may have unintentionally brought in virus his shoes or clothes collected from
contaminated areas, could wipe out a multi-million peso poultry farm and render the farm owner bankrupt.
Today, in the Braveheart Farms in Barangay Paco, Kidapawan City, we have established quarantine areas at the
entrance of the breeding and brooding area.
This is intended to provide bio-security to the breeding stocks and the chicks that we have in the farm.
Aside from the establishment of a quarantine area, we also make sure that new birds that arrive in the farm, are
confined first in a quarantine area and kept there for at least a month before they are brought to the breeding area.
They are given a bath and dewormers, immunized and vaccinated before they could be brought in to the farm
proper.
Inside the farm, especially in areas where the chicks and the breeding chicken are kept, it is also mandatory that
disinfection be conducted every now and then.
Brooders occupied by chicks must be washed and disinfected before a new batch of chicks is introduced.
This can be done by simply spraying the facilities and surroundings with disinfectants available in the market.
Since we are raising chicken naturally in the free-range, we make sure that the disinfectant that we use is organic
and environment friendly.

Boxing Sunday
TEAM PACQUIAO LEAVES FOR MACAU MONDAY
By Manny Pinol
www.mannypinol.net
Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and his entourage of about 80 family members, training staff and friends will
leave on a chartered flight for Macau on Monday, exactly one week before his fight against American Brandon "Bam
Bam" Rios.
Sources in the Pacquiao camp said the entourage has been trimmed down allowing only very close family friends
and loyal supporters of the 8-division world champion.
The fight against Rios comes after a shocking 6th round knockout loss to nemesis Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico,
a debacle that resulted in the disappearance of many former hangers on and free-loaders who used to swarm
around Pacquiao.
The Nov. 24 fight at the Cotai Arena in Macau will be on a Sunday morning but will be aired live in the US and South
America on a Saturday night because of the time difference.
The morning fight in Macau was so designed to cash in on the lucrative Pay Per View market in the West.
The Nov. 24 fight is also a very critical fight for Pacquiao because a loss to the younger Rios could send him to
retirement from boxing.

21-Year-Old Cotabato Airport: Sad Story Of Childish Politics Twenty-one years after work on the Cotabato Rural Airport was started and 15 years after the Runway and Terminal Building construction were completed, it remains unused, a sad testament to the evils of petty and childish politics which had prevailed in North Cotabato. For people to truly understand this tragic narrative of a project which could have brought progress to the province, here is the historical account of the Mlang Airport Project: 1. I was a young Mayor of Mlang (1995-1998) when I envisioned the growth of my town into an agro-industrlialized city and thought an Airport would be critical in realizing that vision; 2. With the help of the Vice Mayor then, Luigi Buenaflor Cuerpo, whose family owned most of the areas in the former Hacienda de Tomas Buenaflor, I presented the idea to the elders of the clan and they loved the idea but since there were no funds available for the project, it remained just a dream; 3. In 1998, after one term as Mayor of Mlang, I was elected Governor of North Cotabato and I pursued the vision of building an airport in my hometown; 4. In 2003, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan authorized the purchase of 62 hectares of land in the former Hacienda Buenaflor for the purpose of building the airport; 5. With an initial P30-M Grant Fund which was provided by then Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo sourced from the Department of Energy (which at the time, operated the Mt. Apo Geothermal Project), the project was started in 2004; 6. By 2007, my term as Governor ended and I was succeeded by Governor Jesus N. Sacdalan. I served as his Vice Governor. Gov. Sacdalan continued the project; 7. In 2009, the Runway and Terminal Building of the Mlang Airport were completed and Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo arrived for the blessing and inauguration; 8. In the 2010 elections, Gov. Sacdalan ran for Congress in the 1st District of the Province while I attempted to regain the Governorship but I lost to then Congresswoman Emmylou Taliño-Santos (now Mendoza); That was when work at the Airport was stopped and to justify the suspension of the Airport Development, the new administration claimed that the documents covering the purchase of the land were not perfect. I was accused of owning the land which was, of course, ridiculous and false. It was also claimed that the project was started without a Feasibility Study which again is a big lie, for how would it be given a budget if there was no study conducted. In fact, I made a public declaration that I was willing to help perfect the documents if they needed my signature on the alleged incomplete documents but my offer was ignored. In 2019, when former Congresswoman Nancy Catamco won as Governor, the alleged missing documents were recovered or reconstructed and perfected. That was when work was started again in the airport. Unfortunately, in 2022, Gov. Catamco lost in a tightly contested election to then Vice Governor Emmylou Taliño-Mendoza before she could turn over the Airport Land Property which is owned by the Provincial Government to the Dept. of Transportation and the Civil Aeronautics Authority of the Philippines for it to be operational. The incumbent Governor is the Chairman of the Regional Development Council and she could have given utmost priority to the completion of Airport. Access to funds for the completion of the project would not be difficult because Speaker Martin Romualdez is the nephew-in-law of her husband, TUCP Partylist Congressman Raymond Mendoza. The real reason why the Mlang Airport Development has dragged for 21 years is because it is identified as the Brainchild and Pet Project of former Governor Manny Piñol and the current leadership dread the thought of seeing planes loaded with passengers and fruits from Cotabato to the big cities and the people giving credit to Piñol for initiating the project. The airport is for the people of North Cotabato now and the next generation and I would not care if she names it after her grandfather or whoever. This narrative is my account of the real story behind the delay in the completion of the Central Mindanao Airport which I know will be refuted by the other party. So, here is my challenge: Let’s hold a Public Debate/Forum on the real and true reasons behind the delay in the completion of the Central Mindanao Airport. I am willing to face anybody from their side in that debate, anytime and anywhere. The People of North Cotabato deserve to know the truth. #WeDontOwnGovernment! #TheTruthWillSetUsFree!
