75th Jubilee Celebration - Alubijid: Kapituan og Lima ka Tuig sa paghandum, pasalamat, og pangandam sa hagit sa umaabot.
LEGEND, HISTORY and GOVERNANCE

The Municipality of Alubijid is located in the western coast of
Misamis Oriental.
The origin of the towns name could be traced during the
pre-spanish time when what is now barangay Baybay had been
dotted by big trees named ALUBIJID (Spondias Pinnata (L.F.)
Kurz Anardiaceae). Legend had it that some of these trees have
become landmarks particularly the huge ones that have grown
near the Bukana of a river and a Looc which had been the
landing sites of different traders from other islands of the archipelago. From these traders, the place where they used to land was
called Alubijid.
The natives from whom the traders visited had congregated
on a place called ILIHAN HILL near a river. It was an ideal dwelling
place of the natives since from its summit one could see Macajalar
Bay and even the seas beyond Sulawan Point and could immediately view the incoming vessels of any traders and marauders. The
place was also called CALUMAT coined from the word Cauban,
Agpas, Lukso, Ugma, Mamatay, Anak Tanan, a password adopted by the natives to warn them of surprise attacks of pirates and
other marauders.
The natives settlement had expanded as far as Barangay
Talaba and Sampatulog which are also elevated areas. Recent
findings showed that some residents of the areas had excavated
chinese porcelains, brass gongs and old coins on site. Active trading between the natives in these places and visiting traders had
continued up to the Spanish influence in the late 18th century.
Dean Manuel Gapuz who conducted investigations and researches of the history of the town noted that these settlements
were visited also by Sultan Kudarat of Cotabato when he was recruiting forces to fight against the invading Spaniards. Some of
Kudarats men stayed in the place and inter-married with the natives. He further noted that as early as 1861, Alubijid was already an
established community headed by local leaders until the outbreak
of Philippine Revolution against Spain in 1896.
Based on archival records of the team from the Archaeological Studies Program of the University of the Philippines Diliman
(ASP-UPD) headed by Prof. Lee M. Neri,, it was about this time that
3-brick making kilns or hornos were put-up by Spanish Jesuits
in Alubijid, Jasaan and Tagoloan, to help construct their churches
in Northern Mindanao, like the Holy Cross Church in Alubijid, Nuestra Sra. De las Nieves church in El Salvador and the Immaculada
Concepcion church in Jasaan.
Alubijid horno is the only Kiln in Misamis Oriental that was

built during the Spanish period that survived the onslaught of time.
It is believed to be over a 100 years old, and many residents take
pride of the fact that the prime Alubijid Bricks were used as building materials of the famous 3-centuries old Baclayon Church of
Bohol.
During the American occupation in the early 20th century,
Alubijid was attached to Cagayan as a barrio. It was from this humble beginning that the present municipality has emerged.
On May 26, 1933, the Municipal Council of Cagayan de Oro,
Misamis Oriental passed Resolution No. 290 recommending the
barrios of El Salvador and Alubijid to become two separate district
municipalities. Immediately the people of Alubijid, headed by Atty.
Daniel S. Galarrita made a petition for the creation of Alubijid into
a municipality. He was supported by Ricardo Abellanosa, Vicente
A. Sabellina, Timoteo Balacuit, Sr., Wenceslao Abellanosa, Quirico
Villastique, Remedios Jamis Generalao, Onofre Ubayubay, Felix
M. Roxas, Ismael B. Labis, Arcadio Balacuit, Luis Balacuit, Lope
Madjos, Bernabe Pacamalan, Eugenio Madrid and Januario Macalaguing among others. So that on June 4, 1933, Provincial Governor Segundo Gaston promised the people of Alubijid who were
gathered on assembly that he will personally bring the petition for
the creation of Alubijid into a municipality and work for the approval
with the Department of Interior in Manila.
To strengthen the movement, Atty. Daniel S. Galarrita wrote
Rep. Isidro Vamenta, Acting Senate President Jose A. Clarin and
Sen. Juan Toralba of the 11th Senatorial District to help facilitate
the approval of the petition for Alubijid to become a municipality
on June 4, 1933. From that period on, the people steadily pursued
their objectives.
At last, on November 14, 1937, the Undersecretary of the Interior Hon. Rufino Luna sent to the Provincial Board of Misamis
Oriental, a communication outlining the necessary requirements
for the creation of the new municipality of Alubijid. The petitioners
promptly prepared the requirements and after more than a year of
preparation sent it back to the Secretary of the Interior for action on
December 21, 1938. The Department of the Interior submitted to
the President of the Philippines with favorable recommendation for
the organized portion of the Municipality of Cagayan to form into an
independent Municipality of Alubijid on April 18, 1939.
Finally on April 5, 1940, His Excellency Manuel L. Quezon,
President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines signed Executive Order No. 266 creating the Municipality of Alubijid from the
portion of the Municipality of Cagayan, Misamis Oriental with the

following barrios: Gitagum, Laguindingan, Kibaghot, Matangad,
Mauswagon and Pangayawan. The new born Municipality of Alubijid was formally inaugurated on July 1, 1940 with Don Gregorio
Pelaez, the Provincial Governor inducting the newly appointed officials who were as follows:

The first Municipal Building was a two-storey house donated

by the Late Jose Akut for school purposes but utilized as the seat
of the municipal government.
After more than a year from
its creation, the first local election
was held on November 11, 1940,
in which the elected officials
were mostly the appointed ones
headed by Timoteo Balacuit, Sr.
as Municipal Mayor. Upon the
outbreak of the Second World
War on December 8, 1941, the
local civil government continued
its operation. However, on May
3, 1942 the Japanese Imperial
Forces captured and occupied
Cagayan, the capital town and
placed all civil government offices under the Japanese Military
control including the town of Alubijid.
As the war progressed, the guerilla forces under Major Angels
Limena captured and occupied the town of Alubijid on October
22, 1942. The Japanese-backed government was immediately disbanded and the town was placed under the military control of the
109th Infantry Division.
The restoration of the postwar local government of Alubijid
was effected on January 1, 1945, with appointed Municipal Officials namely:
Municipal Mayor:
Vice Mayor:
Municipal Councilors:
Remedios J. Generalao
Ismael B. Labis
Valeriano Blanco
Bartolome Tabura
Enrique Abellanosa
Pablo Sabellina
Lino Maagad
Timoteo Abejo
Normalization was undertaken and the people started to work

for their development. One of their pressing agenda was the advancement of the educational level of the residents, so that on July
1, 1947, the Alubijid Junior High School was opened with a population of 112 students handled by four (4) teachers.
The first local election after the war took place in 1948 with
Jesus Ramos as Municipal Mayor. The town people continued to
march to progress and development and it was during this term
that Alubijid Junior High School was converted to Provincial High
School.
Ismael B. Labis, Sr., was
elected Municipal Mayor in 1952
and continually held the office
from 1952 to 1971. During his
incumbency, the town expanded
its territories by virtue of Executive Order No. 96 dated February
9, 1955, to Barrio Lourdes once
a Municipal District of Bukidnon.
However, Barrio Gitagum separated and became an independent Municipality on June 8, 1961
with barrios Matangad and Pangayawan under its jurisdiction and Barrio Laguindingan separated
as well and became an independent municipality taking barrios
Kibaghot and Mauswagon with it on July 22, 1963. Despite these
separations, many new barrios were created namely Barrio Sungay in 1953; Barrio Lumbo in 1954; Barrio Taparak in 1957; Barrio
Benigwayan, Molocboloc, Sampatulog and Calatcat in 1960; Barrio Loguilo, Lagtang and Talaba in 1963; Barrio Baybay in 1965,
Barrio Tugasnon in 1966 and Barrios Lanao and Tula in 1968.
In the field of education, Mayor Labis together with local educators headed by Mr. Francisco Galarrita, the Alubijid High School
Principal worked for the nationalization of the school, and the same
was approved on June 24, 1964 by virtue of R.A. 3877 which proposal was drafted through the dedicated efforts among others,
of Atty. Federico M. Gapuz and Atty. Damaso Tubelleja, both former secretaries to the Late Congressman Vicente de Lara, who
further facilitated the passage of the bill, making the school the first
national high school in Northern Mindanao. Among other significant achievements of his administration were the construction of
the Municipal Amphitheater, the groundworks for installation of the
Poblacion Watersystem, and the organization of the first Cooperative Credit Union in Western Misamis Oriental, which eventually
led to the organization of the Misamis Oriental Electric Service Cooperative (MORESCO), also the first rural electric cooperative in the
country. The switching of MORESCO sub-station in Barrio Lumbo
was on September 26, 1971 and the occasion was witnessed by
then President Ferdinand E. Marcos.

elected Municipal Mayor in 1972.

A diamonds beauty is not seen after it

is dug out of the mine. Its appearance
looks very crude, lackluster and dull.

that it is precious; and that it is brilliant.
That is a diamond!
The Municipality of Alubijid possesses these

bijid today. Let us relieve the gracious past

and learn from the lessons it gave to us.
Some 75 years ago, it was dug out of

from the portion of the then Municipality of
Cagayan, Misamis Oriental through Executive Order No. 266 of the President of the
Philippine Commonwealth, His Excellency
Manuel L. Quezon. The new-born municipality was formally inaugurated on July 1,
1940 with my late great grandfather Don
Gregorio Pelaez as the Provincial Governor.
But let us also focus on what the future may

bring. As the Laguindingan Airport brings
development to the 2nd District of the Province, Alubijid is apparently a major beneficiary to this development. Take advantage
of this opportunity for the bright future of
Alubijid and Misamis Oriental in general.
By that time, nothing would have seen the

extraordinary attributes of Alubijid; nothing
would have seen its value; and nothing has
seen its brilliance!
Congratulations to the
Municipality of Alubijid on their
75th Diamond Jubilee Celebration!
On this very important occasion, I would like
to pay tribute to the men and women who
have worked tirelessly to build this town
that it is today. I also recognize the past
and present town officials and other civil
servants for their untiring determination and
hard work in succeeding the towns development endeavors.
As Alubijid has great potential tourism sites,

l hope to see you further strengthened in
your role of effectively and efficiently helping
us implement programs for tourism development of the province as a key driver towards achieving socioeconomic growth
of this province.
On this occasion, I wish everyone of Alubijid
a funfilled Diamond Jubilee Celebration!

Time and again founding anniversary

celebrations have always been joyful
and wonderful occasions, a coming
together to strengthen the ties of unity
and bond as one strong people of the
community.
This year however, is more special as we
celebrate the Diamond Jubilee year of our
Beloved Town marking the 75th year of its
existence as a Municipality. Indeed, from a
small village we sprang to be a solid and
resilient Alubijid, akin to the tree to which our
town was named after.
In the midst of all our merriment, let us reflect on our accomplishments and renew
our commitment to share and continue to
pursue a brighter future for Alubijid.
Let us therefore continue to be the trees that
had become landmarks to this archipelago
and remain the CALUMAT that we are

to one another as we face the challenges
ahead.
Alubijid: Kapituan og Lima ka Tuig sa Paghandum, Pasalamat, og Pangandam sa
hagit sa umaabot - is a rightful Theme for
this joyous occasion and it is my honor and
pride to extend my warmest greetings and
felicitations to each and everyone.

Alubijid, Misamis Oriental
Greetings to us all on the occasion

of the 75th foundation of our beloved
municipality. It is but just fit and
proper that an important milestone of
our towns history be commemorated
with pomp and ceremony as tribute
to the generations past who toiled
and labored, despite great odds, to
organize the Municipality of Alubijid.
Notable citizens came together with steadfast commitment and burning passion to establish a separate entity apart from the old
mother town we were appended to. Thus, a
personality unique and different was made,
and came to be known as ALUBIJIDNON
hardworking, passionate, firm, decided,
united and cautiously optimistic.
With the theme: Alubijid: Kapituan ug
Lima Ka Tuig sa Paghandum, Pasalamat
ug Pangandam sa Hagit sa Umaabot, I
could imagine the seemingly insurmountable difficulty our past leaders have to deal
with in the quest to establish Alubijid. In the
throes of an impending war and with the
nation not yet fully independent, our forefathers did not wait for their conclusion, but
with collective conviction, forged on to pursue the noble call of the time Alubijid now,
not soon or after. To them, our plaudits and
acclamation.
managed to hurdle the challenges. Ours is

to continue to prosper and thrive.
The dream has not yet been totally fulfilled.
As a community, Alubijid is on another
phase of evolution which correspondingly requires creative solutions and effective
responses. While the past may ask, Quo
Vadis?, we, the present, is confronted with
the meditative thought. Are we there yet?
To live, love, and serve Alubijid has no end.
To the young, it is not yet late to know; to
those old, it is too late to forget.
ALUBIJID sa gihapon.
HON. ALVIN GIOVANNI A. LABIS

Hence, aside from reminiscing the glorious
past we should allow thanksgiving equal
billing as the theme of our celebration. They

Alubijidnon is no stranger in
transforming dreams into reality.
More than ever, the town recognizes
the role of every individual who
makes a significant difference in the
life of its people.
All of us have been a part in making our
hometown great! Moreover the entire Local
Government Unit headed by a very active
leader Hon. Alvin Giovanni A. Labis, the
members of the Sangguniang Bayan and
the various agencies, and non-government
organization join hands in having one vision of helping the town reach its goals. My
warmest congratulations to all of you!
Time flies so fast. It gives me a sense of nostalgia reminiscing the time as I assume the
office as District Supervisor of my hometown. I have seen how the local government prioritized education in its programs,
projects and activities. We share the same

passion in producing future leaders that will
continue the advocacy we have started.
As a school, we serve as agents of change
in the lives of our pupils. Today, we embrace
this significant celebration of the 75th (Diamond) Jubilee with its theme, Alubijid:

Having witnessed the Alubijid 75th

Jubilee is something to be truly
proud of being an ALUBIJIDNON an achievement in everyones life.
Today marks a time in history as we celebrate and give honour to the towns founding anniversary. There are many things that
we should rejoice and be thankful to everybody who made Alubijid to what it is today.
We are indebted to our forefathers before us
for the bounty we are enjoying at this moment. Looking back, I, as a Lumad of this
place, have witness the struggle and agony
of our leaders and the towns people in the
fight against poverty. Educators witnessed
it unfold in the lives of our pupils. We cannot
deny the fact that its one of the factors that
hinders us to move forward and aim for excellence. But despite the many odds it never
stops us from reaching our vision in creating
a better future for our clientele. As partners
in public service we laboured and join hands
towards the realization of that goal and to
that we are forever grateful. My appreciation
goes out to all officials, who have supported
and walk with our people to reach this milestone. We congratulate you for being dedicated in upholding your mandate of public
service and accepting the challenges lay by
the people upon your shoulders.
Let us also not forget how blessed we are to
have witnessed this Diamond Jubilee celebration. It is with pride that we support and
participate this once in a lifetime event. In
behalf of the Alubijid Central School teachers, non-teaching personnel, parents and
pupils of our populace, this is our way of
saying, Happy 75th Diamond Jubilee Celebration Alubijid!
Mabuhay ang lahing Alubijidnon! Mabuhay

1939 was the year when World War

II broke out. It was also the year
Alubijid transformed from Barangay of
Cagayan de Oro to a municipality of
its own. This was 75 years ago. The
new town immediately served as a
garrison for invading Japanese forces.
In 1947, right after the war, the passionate campaign of far-sighted local political leaders, educators and wise thinkers of the municipality, resulted in the establishment of
a Junior High School on site. This became a Provincial High School in 1948 and in
1964 the school was upgraded to a National Comprehensive High School which today
stands at the heart of town. To meet Higher Education needs, the Bukidnon State University External Studies Center ANCHS was further created in 1981.
Through the years, the town served as the Center of
Academic Excellence in this part of the world, producing highly educated and socially responsible citizens in
the region and beyond. Equally important, it provided
access to quality affordable education, making lives
better, empowering people, transforming communities,
and giving hope for a better life to the less fortunate.
Serving precisely as what our founding forefathers envisioned.
Today, Alubijid reaches its platinum age at an exciting time. December 2015, the ASEAN Free Trade
Area Agreement will be fully implemented. The flow of
goods, services, investment, capital and skilled labor in
the region will run completely free; Mindanao is set to
launch a Bangsamoro nation at its core; neighboring
Laguindingan International Airport was opened; a seaport is laid out for construction right in the Baybay area;
Aluibjid National Comprehensive High School, which
now offers a Special Program for the Arts on top of its
Special Science Class and Basic Education Curriculum, will pilot the Senior High School Curriculum in the
next school year.
How we take advantage of the above opportunities
and meet the difficulties they bring, will mold the town
our children will live in. The challenges ahead are enormous. But we are undaunted. We are descendant of
a people who are God-fearing, ingenious, fast-learners, achievement-oriented, practical and imaginative.
They understand the critical role education plays in the
betterment of peoples lives. They dreamed of a town
that caters to the educational aspiration of its people.
Today, we are at it. A progressive town where people
can make their dreams into a reality with hard work
and Gods grace, we are it. With piety, integrity, industry, selflessness and love for their town, our great
grandfathers worked together led by exemplary men

and women in the political, religious, educational and
business arenas to make this town what is today.
We have had our share of problems as a people, but
no one can deny us the achievements we have created for ourselves. Ahead are even greater challenges
and opportunities fueled by todays breakneck speed
of change. Things do not just happen; we have to make
them happen. With visionary leadership at all levels,
collective effort, dedication and sacrifice, we can grab
these opportunities with both hands just like our forebears did, and continue building this town into the town
of our dreams.
Having been the Principal of Alubijid National Comprehensive High School for the last 12 years, it is with pride
and honor that I congratulate and join the Alubijidnons
in celebrating this towns Platinum Anniversary. Happy
Birthday, Alubijid. I wish you Gods blessings of wisdom, peace, prosperity and concern for fellowmen as
you meet the challenges of the next 75 years and more.

Finance Dept. Puts Up Online LGU Scorecard

The finance department has rolled out an online scorecard assessing local government units (LGUs) fiscal performance in a bid to
promote greater accountability among these entities.
In a statement, the department posted on April 10, 2014 that the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF) its attached agency
is tasked to keep watch over LGUs revenue operations has launched the LGU Fiscal Sustainability Scorecard, published online via Web
site called Iskor ng yong Bayan at iskor.blgf.gov.ph.
The LGU Fiscal Sustainability Scorecard aims to establish a regular fiscal performance assessment of LGUs. These scorecards are
made publicly available so local treasurers and assessors are also accountable to the public. The initiative was developed by the BLGF and
the Finance Departments Fiscal Intelligence Unit.
In creating the scoreboard, the government will:
1. Use official quarterly and year end reports submitted by all local treasurers and assessors to the BLGF.
2. The assessment of LGUs performance will take into account key results areas of local revenue generation capacity, local collection growth, expenditure management, updating of Schedule of Market Values, and reportorial compliance of treasurers and
assessors with the DOF and BLGF.
This is in line with DOFs mandate to supervise and monitor the revenue operations of LGUs. The LGU Fiscal Sustainability Scorecard
aims to institutionalize the regular publication of fiscal indicators and the performance review of LGUs in the spirit of accountability and
good local financial housekeeping.

Educational Assistance. . . .
Pantawid Pamilya Program

The result of NHTS enumeration last 2009 conducted by

Recognizing the vital role of the youth in nation-building and

to strengthen the Government resolve that no one should be left
behind, a scholarship program for poor but deserving college students was launched and funded by the Local Government Unit
with contributions from the Barangay Councils and private sector.
First conceptualized in the late 1990s, the program has produced
74 college graduates from the Bukidnon State University External
Studies Center at Alubijid, Misamis Oriental starting 2002 up to
the present. The program has current allocation of Php500,000.00.
For its holistic development, the scholars are regularly oriented

A data base to determine who and where the poor

households are in the municipality. It is used as a baseline
data in the delivery of basic
social programs & services
to potential target beneficiaries. To date there are 12 enumerators deployed by DSWD FO-X
to conduct NHTS Listahan to scour barangays and remote villages
An innovative multi-service extension program by the LGU

dubbed as BISITA SA BARANGAY is an effort to provide services
to barangay residents ranging from civil registration, medical consultation, animal health care, seniors gift giving, business permit
processing, tax collection campaign and other rendition of existing
government services and programs. Residents are also afforded
face-to-face contact and consultation with local officials and can
verbally relate their issues and concerns to them, and in certain
instances, resolution afforded at hand.
Service knows no boundaries..........

A manifestation of the local governments effort to reach-out
and serve its constituents regardless of location - is the rehabilitation of a Day Care Center located in remote Sitio Seriwagan, Barangay Sungay. First constructed in 1999 or thereabouts, completed
partially through pahina, and materials brought then by cattle
and horses, it was renovated and foundation retrofitted through
the assistance of the DSWD-X. At present, fifteen 3-4 year old
Pre-school children are enrolled supervised by a hardworking and
dedicated Day Care Provider.
It can be recalled that approval and consideration of the
project hit snag due to its location. A river has to be forged and
a vanishing trail traversed before the first shovel of mixed sand
and cement could be poured. However, the indomitable spirit of
the eager parents anticipating realization of the project defiantly
prevailed and motivated all concerned to pursue the same to its
completion.
Now serving the purpose to which it was constructed, the
Seriwagan Day Care Center is a testament to the commitment of
preparing the young for a better future and prosperous life ahead.
An off-shot to the activity is the first-ever BISITA SA CORRECTIONAL at the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology

The Association of Barangay Councils (ABC) Congress on its 9th year

and moving forward. . .
We have been doing this for nine (9) years . . . The barangay officials of Alubijid annually hold its
ABC Congress since it started way back 2000. Through the initiative of Hon. Alvin Giovanni A. Labis,
incumbent Municipal Mayor, it is being designed for all barangay officials so they may accustom ways
and means in rendering competent public service. He also stresses that constant innovations with distinction in local governance should be sustained through the leadership of barangay officials being the
key catalyst of progress in the rural area. The holding of the congress needs to be fostered for stronger
cooperation on Barangay governance.
. . . . Best Performing Barangay Awards

The ABC Congress is highlighted with the conferment of awards. From its pilot run in 2010, LGU Alubijid has initiated the program on Best Performing Barangay Awards. This program has promoted
transparency and accountability in the operations of the sixteen (16) barangays.
It is also in cognizant of Pres. PNOYs call for transparent, honest and responsive governance.
The program on Best Performing Barangay Awards aims to realize the Tapat na Palakad at the
barangay level. Among others, and with special mention, the barangays have to disclose to the public,
through appropriate means, their budgets, finances as well as bids and public offerings for public scrutiny and reactions. This is in pursuant to DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2010-149 dated December 10, 2010. The good performance of the barangays is measured in
four (4) Performance Areas, namely: Administration, Social Services, Economic Development and Environmental Management.

Alubijid-Loguilo Irrigators Service Association (ALISA), Inc.,

the name that provides the sweet aroma of the following rice field
as one enters the Poblacion proper of the municipality of Alubijid;
the name that supplies healthy and high quality rice to its people
and the neighboring municipalities.
Businessmen may wonder why this part of Alubijid still remains a rice field, when industries are booming along the national
highways in the neighboring towns. What with the operation of the
Laguindingan Airport which soon to expand as an international
airport? Surely, businessmen are drooling over the potential of the
untouchable spread of the rice area. But this was already anticipated by the original landowners and initiators of this project. Hence,
the fight to protect the land that supplies the staple food for the
community from conversion into any other uses began way back
in the history of ALISA. Considering its economic contribution to
the community which now grows into as high as 13.1 M/year, the
Local Government Unit under the administration of then Municipal
Mayor Edilberto M. Ubayubay, created a resolution
to ensure that the rice area
remains to be able to provide
enough for the community.
The association was able to
concretize its stand with the
support from no other than
the President Fidel V. Ramos,
who issued the Presidential
Administrative Order (AO)
No. 20, 2.1992, and the Department of Agrarian Reform
(DAR) Administrative Order
No. 01, s. 2001, prohibiting
the conversion of the area
into any other use.
The concept of a rice
field from the original corn
field began in 1972, when
Mr. Wilfred A. Adviento, an
agriculture graduate and
a school teacher was the
potential of a corn land for
irrigation, and took it as
a challenge. The task of organizing a farmers and landowners
association is not an easy task. But with Mr. Advientos passion
rippling into the other landowners, he gained the support of Atty.
Daniel S. Galarrita, a retired government employee, and a respected personality in the municipality. Mr. Galarrita was the catalyst
in forming and mobilizing the Alubijid-Loguilo Irrigators Service
Association (ALISA), Inc., in August 12, 1973. It was formally organized with the following first set of officers:
President
- Atty. Daniel S. Galarrita
Vice President
- Mr. Francisco C. Galarrita
Secretary/Treasurer - Mr. Wilfred A. Adviento
Directors
- Mr. Cornelio Y. Ypil

- Mr. Celedonio C. Jamis
The association then worked on its plan, putting to heart its
vision and mission:
Vision: Alubijid as a rice producing community, with farmers
of high productivity and contributing of food sufficiency.
Mission: To convert a 66 hectare corn and pasture lands

located at Basacan, Loguilo, Alubijid, Misamis Oriental, into a
productive rice field, assuring quality staple food for its people,
creating jobs to small farmers in the form of farm labor, and contributing to the economy of the community.
The struggle was not a joke. The sacrifice of time, effort and
finances of the initiators and original landowners can can never br
measured. But their hearts fueled their passion to continue through
loans and assistance from government and church organizations,
just to make the project functional. Various programs were conducted and strategies were devised to solve water insufficiency
during summer days. Finally, I was a training on Total Quality and
Productivity management (TQPM) for rice production in 1998 conducted by the Agricultural Training Institute, in partnership with
NIA, PhilRice, NFA and LGU that high production with reduced cost
was achieved by the farmers. After two training courses, farmers
started practicing proper soil and water management, organic
farming and other strategies learned. From fifty (50)
cavans per hectare harvest,
now farmers are harvesting
not less than 100 cavans per
hectare per harvest. ALISA
is now a very strong, financially capable organization,
operating an irrigated 66
hectare rice area. Still, it
remains to be true to its advocacy putting to heart its
vision and mission.
To date, ALISA has
received several financial
assistance amounting to
millions for repairs and
improvement of the irrigation system from different
government agencies. That
is how ALISA became a
trusted irrigators association. With its performance
and achievements, ALISA
received the following citations:
1. Most Outstanding Irrigators Association of Misamis Oriental
and Camiguin, from CY 2001 to 2014.

Unmasking Independence

The Tolomeo Caseres Galarrita Memorial Lodge No. 242

(formerly Punta Sulawan Lodge) under Worshipful Master
(WM) Nixon M. Centeno and the Local Government Unit of
Alubijid, Misamis Oriental represented by Mayor Alvin Giovanni A. Labis and Vice Mayor Emmanuel L. Jamis who is a master Mason himself unveiled the towns Dr Jose P. Rizal Monument last June 12, 2015 during the 117th Independence day
Celebration.
The groundbreaking event awakened the towns peoples
patriotism as they gathered in front of Alubijid Municipal Hall
to witness the historical and ceremonial event.
The square from where it stands tall is the old place
where the LGU Officials and Employees used to conduct their
Monday convocation. The said area was developed sometime in July of the year 1959 through the donation from the
Alubijid Womens Club during the term of the late Mayor Ismael B. Labis, circa 1960. Today, it is now dubbed as the Dr. Jose
P. Rizal Quadrangle.
It has been a long dream of everybody to develop the
municipal quadrangle and be among the 21 municipalities
of Misamis Oriental who uphold the teaching and legacy of
our National Hero. The Tolomeo Caseres Galarrita Memorial
Lodge No. 242 came up with the initiative to install the same
and made it as one of their major pioneering projects in the
said town. Mayor Alvin Giovanni A. Labis openly welcomed
them in front of a few hundred guests and visitors from different organization and expressly declared that they will be a
partner in the growth and development of the Municipality of
Alubijid sharing one passion in serving the public.
Little is known that our national hero, Jose Rizal is a
member of the Free Masonry Fraternity, aptly named as an
International Mason, being a member of various masonic
lodges in Europe. The creation of the monument is an act to
breathe more zeal into the nationalism of the people of Alubijid. The Alubijidnons, together with the Free Masonry, created
a united community that is rooted in sheer love for the country
and independence.
The ceremony was an invitation for everybody to
strengthen the foundations of being an independent Filipino,
with a golden heart that thrives in a fascinating love for ones
country. Seen as a commemoration of our independence, the
unveiling of our national heros statue was not only a tangible
celebration, it created a whirlpool of burning passion in the
hearts of those who witnessed.
