CAGAYAN DE ORO— The country’s Barangay Tanod brigades, organized to assist local governments in the maintenance of peace and order will now have a voice in Congress, Ist Nominee and Founding Chairman Erwin Culanag of Alliance ot Certified Enforcers (ACE) Party-List said today.

The ACE Party-List, recognizing the key role of Barangay Tanods will work for their economic uplift, emphasizing their functions in upholding peace and order in communities where formal police presence may be lacking.

“These dedicated civilian volunteers show their unwavering commitment in the prevention of crimes through teamwork and dedicated adherence to their duties”, Culanag, a trained law enforcement officer said.

He said pursuant to such duty, Barangay Tanods needs support system in conducting rondas or nightly patrols, necessarily exposing their lives and limbs to danger in the hands of criminal elements and other wayward members of society.

ACE Party-List has recognized the exceptional barangay tanods’ duties and responsibilities, supporting our barangay officials in crime prevention and promoting public safety through the conduct of “Ronda”patrols, reporting to the offices concerned of any disruptions or unfair events, tracking the presence and actions of criminals and illegal elements.

“Keeping the entire barangay clean and safe is just a few of their tasks. Barangay Tanods are essentially the peacekeeping arm of the Barangay. For those subdivisions, residential areas and other communities that cannot afford several uniformed security guards, these Tanods serve as the main security force of our communities, Culanag explained.

ACE Party List has well noted the Barangay Tanods’ role and the obstacles they encounter,
Including women tanods most vital in putting in place support systems into the dynamics of barangay tanod groups, Culanag said.

Examining the contributions and challenges faced by tanods will not only deepen our understanding of their roles but also enhance the barangay tanods’ overall success in preserving peace and order, he said.

By considering their roles , we need to advocate approaches, in the realm of barangay security so that we can further bolster their capabilities as peace and order guardians of our communities, Culanag added.

Turnover Ceremony of Rotary Club of Cagayan De Oro Global Grant GG2346868 Refrigerated Centrifuge Machine to the PNRC CDO-Misor Chapter

Project Details:

In preparation of the high demand months of November to January, RCCDO Conducted the Turnover Ceremony of a Refrigerated Centrifuge and a Bloodletting Activity with the PNRC CDO-Misor RCCDO’s Global Grant GG2346868 was approved in Rotary Year 2022-23 during the administration of Past President Isidro V. Butaslac Jr., with then Secretary Roel Q. Madera as the designated contact person.

The machine was procured and shipped to PNRC CDO-Misor on May 2024 under the term of Immediate Past President Tito Noel A. Mora. The main purpose of the grant is to augment the existing but outdated Refrigerated Centrifuge of the Philippine Red Cross CDO-Misor Chapter Blood Bank.

According to PNRC officials, the Refrigerated Centrifuge with a cost of about Php2,400,000 “is the soul of a blood bank.” It separates the three main components (RBC, WBC and platelets, and plasma) while providing cooling function throughout the processing before safekeeping in another refrigeration unit. By doing so a single donated bag of blood can help save up to three people in need. With the addition of a second centrifuge the PNRC CDO-Misor blood bank’s production capacity has increase to 400 bags per 8-hour operation.

The project is a partnership of the Philippine National Red Cross CDO-Misor Chapter, The Rotary Foundation, Rotary Club of Cagayan De Oro, Rotary Club of Gwangju-South.

Community Assessment: PNRC CDO-Misor chapter has a good partnership history with RCCDO. Most of their board of directors are Rotarians, with current Governor Antonio S. Soriano a RCCDO past president, and board member Manuel U. Along as RCCDO Past President and a Rotary District 3870 Past District Governor.

As such, RCCDO learned of the equipment limitations PNRC has been struggling with for more than a decade. Back in 2011, the only centrifuge machine of the PNRC chapter broke down. They then acquired a new one through long term lease, and since they are still repaying the loan by 2024, PNRC have yet to acquire a new centrifuge. RCCDO’s contribution through the global grant greatly enhanced the capacity of the blood bank and extend the operating life of their existing but ageing machine.

Project Impact:

With the rising case of dengue and a robust growing population in the region, PNRC is now adequately equipped to respond to the population’s need for blood supply.

Given the lifespan of the first machine as an estimate, RCCDO foresee the new refrigerated centrifuge to serve the region for at least a decade and hopefully more.

Sustainability:

RCCDO’s close partnership with PNRC CDO-Misor Chapter allows both organization to make fundamental responses to needs that arise in the region through provision of life-saving assets and equipment.

Rotary District 3870 was represented by RI District Governor Hubert B. Quiblat, DFRC Chairman PDG Manny Along, and RCCDO Club President Neil Ronard J. Que. PNRC Misor-CDO was headed by Chairman and PDG Inday Uy, with board of directors Vice Gov. Joey Pelaez, IPDG Gigi Go, PP Bebotte Chu, Ester Guazon, PP Arch. Richard Tan, Teodoro Buenvista, Jr., Manuel Causin, Nelson Sia, and again PDG Manny Along.

SkinStation Unveils 4D QuattroWave Laser

SkinStation, a trusted name in advanced skincare, introduces the 4D QuattroWave Laser. This latest innovation harnesses not one, two, or three—but four wavelengths to target hair at multiple depths, delivering effective and comfortable results across a wide range of skin tones and hair types.

The Future of Laser Hair Remova: 4D QuattroWave Laser

The 4D QuattroWave Laser hair removal machine is designed with advanced features, making it ideal for diverse hair removal needs:

4-Wavelength Technology:
- Alexandrite wavelength of 755nm: Perfect for lighter skin and fine hair
- Diode wavelength of 808nm: Effective for all skin types, especially brown tones
- Infrared wavelength of 940nm: Cuts off blood supply to hair follicles and inhibit future hair growth
- Nd:YAG wavelength of 1064nm: Provides the deepest penetration and best for darker skin types
Advanced Precision for Comfort: The 4D QuattroWave laser technology can simultaneously emit different energies to meet the needs of different types of hair, and can adjust the wavelength depending on different skin tones, which greatly increases comfort during the procedure.
Faster Treatment with Fewer Sessions: The four-wavelength enables larger areas to be treated in shorter sessions, saving time for busy clients while still delivering fast, effective results.
Suitable for All Skin and Hair Types: With the combined power of four wavelengths, the machine is safe for all skin tones—from the lightest to the darkest—and effective on various hair colors, including light and dark hair.

4D QuattroWave Laser versus Diode Laser

The Diode laser, considered as the gold standard, uses single wavelength with reliable results, especially for lighter to medium skin tones. Meanwhile, the 4D QuattroWave Laser combines 4 wavelengths to target hair at multiple depths, making it ideal for all skin and hair types.

Availability and Pricing Information

The 4D QuattroWave Laser Hair Removal is available in over 50 SkinStation branches this month, and in all 112 branches before the year ends, with special introductory offer of additional 20% Off on top the package price starting at P5,400 for 6 sessions (upper lip) until November 20.
