SULONG
BAG-ONG DAPITAN |
|
Ikaw oh, pinalanggang dakbayan, hinatag gikan sa kahitas-an;
Maoy napiling pasilungan, sa inilang bayani sa
kapupud-an,
Ang yuta mong puno sa kaadunahan ug kabala-anon;
Imong katahum walay sama, uban ang kinaiyahan.
Ang imong mga kabungturan, kapatagan, kaumahan;
Ang lapyahan ug madanihong kadagatan, mga suba ug kasapaan;
Atong palambo-on atimanon ug ampingan; alang sa umaabot pang kaliwat,
maangkon ang kabulahanan.
Ang mithing gibilin ni Rizal, kabataan paglaum sa katawhan;
Maoy damgo sa Bag-ong Dapitan, kalinaw kahiusahan sa tanan
Pagka matinud-anon, masinugtanon, makugihon;
Aron kitang tanan modas-ug sa kauswagan.
Sulong! Bag-ong Dapitan (Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap) ngadto sa kalambu-an;
Sulong kaigsoonan (Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap) atong kalampusan.
Atong ipasigarbo, ang maundanong binuhatan
Inubanan sa panalangin; maoy taming atong gisaligan
Busa kitang tanan, atong paningkamotan sa pag-agak ta kanila ngadto sa kalampusan.
Kay sila ugma ang magdala, sa renda sa pangagamhanan ta
Kini atong gipanumpa-an buhaton ta kining tanan;
Ug di nato kawangon bulingbulingan ug dagmalan,
hinunua ikaw dayandayanan sa among pagkamatinud-anon
Kay ikaw labing bililhon ug matahum Bag-ong Dapitan.
Sulong! Bag-ong Dapitan (Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap) ngadto sa kalambu-an;
Sulong kaigsoonan (Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap) atong kalampusan.
Atong ipasigarbo ang maundanong binuhatan
Inubanan sa panalangin, maoy taming atong saligan
Mabuhi ikaw sa kanunay, O pinalanggang dakbayan!
Mabuhi!

CCRO's mobile registration still on the roll
When Mayor Joseph Cedrick O. Ruiz asked Mrs.
Luzminda Macias what their office’s flagship project would be, the
OIC-City Civil Registrar replied, “100% registration.”
Tall
order it was, but quite possible. To achieve this ambitious goal, the
City Civil Registrar’s Office (CCRO) embarked on a noble quest:
mobile registration.
The
rationale is simple. They don’t wait for the people to come to them.
Instead, they bring the service to the people. They go to the
barangays and conduct free registration. This way, the ones who are
too poor, too busy or too lazy to go to the registrar’s office will
be registered.
So
far, the CCRO staff have conducted mobile registration in 20 of
Dapitan’s 50 barangays. They could have covered more barangays, but
they ran out of registration forms. At present, they are still waiting
for NSO-Dipolog to deliver their order.
Unperturbed,
Mrs. Macias makes ends meet by borrowing registry forms from
registrar-friends in the neighboring municipalities. With these, they
visit the barangays that have been scheduled for mobile registration.
“We have to keep our promise,” she explained.
Aside
from extending free registration, they also give out free owner’s
copy of certificates of live birth, which costs P26.00 at their
office. This is aside from the free LCR Form No. 1A, which normally
costs P36.00, that they give away every February, in celebration of
the civil registration month.
In
fact, they have been tagging along with the Mayor in his sorties to
the barangays for the Adlaw sa Katawhan, in which the officials of the
local government meet and have a dialogue with the people, give away
rice, sardines and noodles and various other services.
With
six months more to go, Mrs. Macias is confident that they will still
hit 100% registration this year.
And
it won't be long, she promised.
As
soon as the forms arrive, they will conduct mobile registration in the
remaining 30 barangays.

At
last! |

This newsletter is long overdue. The last time
we looked, somebody promised to publish it before the dawning of
the new millennium. Prior
to that, an endless string of failed assurances.
Promises are made to be broken, so goes the
cliché. Not this time, though. Late this is, but never too late.
If truth be told, we stormed Asgard and Hades
just to come up with this issue on time. Hercules and Thor would
have been proud of us. Modesty aside, we deserve a page or two in
the Guinness.
It would be nice to say that we will still come
out the next time around. But we have learned to rein in our
optimism a long time ago. We can not afford to make the same
blunders.
Yet, we have a dream.
Deep in our hearts we are hoping that this will
become a regular thing. Just like other newsletters, you know -
steady as clockwork. It’s not that we lack the will to do it or
have a dearth of talents. It’s just that we have too much
respect for the idiosyncrasies of fate and the wobble of
economics.
Call us deeply religious.
Nevertheless, it was fun doing this. We would
love to do it all over again. In the meantime, we keep our fingers
crossed.

In
retrospect
It has been two years since we assumed office on 01 July 1998 in
fidelity to that time-honored and well-revered dictum that “Public
office is a public trust.” We have sought to transform our common
aspiration of a greater Dapitan into reality, even as we seek wider
and brighter windows of opportunity.
United in purpose and spirit, we can more tellingly and decidedly
address the problems that we must confront and answer as we endeavor
to improve our community and assist our people.
Our primordial task as public servants brooks no promise and admits no
exception. We are sworn
to serve our people to the fringes of our talents and abilities and
spend our waking hours ministering to their comfort, safety,
and common weal.
As we said during our inaugural address:
“As we witness the dawning of a new age, replete with new
opportunities and challenges, let us build a community that is
conscious of its rich historical and cultural heritage, but attuned to
the visions, perspectives, and thrusts of modernity.”
We have no doubt that we can transform this vision into reality.
For the indomitable spirit, the tenacity and resiliency, the capability
for community and nation building, of the Dapitanons are indubitable.
There is no task too great, no vision too transcendental, no quest too
quixotic that we cannot perform, realize, and fulfill.
Our greatest achievement as a people, as Dapitanons, is the restoration
of faith in ourselves - in what we can do together as partners for
progress.
This had not been difficult to achieve because of our unity of purpose
and singular direction of efforts, and because of our staunch
adherence to civic duty, which is the core of the historic tradition
of democracy everywhere.
However, if we have to endure as a society, as a community, we must
embrace and subscribe wholeheartedly to the principle of civic duty -
the community over the individual, the public good over private gain
and civic duties over civic rights.
Imbued with that sense of duty and patriotism, together we can move
mountains.
It is said that there is nothing permanent in this world except change
itself. Let us work for change - for substantial and meaningful social
change. Together, we can change our lives, our community and our
country for the better.
Let us all work hand in hand, and with the aid of God, and the
intercession of our patron, Saint James the Greater, we can build the
New Dapitan we want.
Together, we can make it! Together, we can never fail!
Sulong
Bag-ong Dapitan!
Viva
Señor San Santiago!
