Davao City Mayor issues order creating city festival committee!

February 7, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

SEEING the primary importance of tourism as one of the backbones of the city’s economy, Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio created the Davao City Festival Management Committee through Executive Order No. 03 series of 2012.

Duterte said tourism has been deemed to generate revenue for the local government and has provided livelihood to a number of Dabawenyos.

“The Festival Management Committee has been created to harmonize all the festivals celebrated by the City of Davao, fully maximize its objectives and properly realize the plans for each event,” Duterte said.

Davao City’s identity has been showcased through the celebration of its various festivities such as the Araw ng Dabaw, a commemoration of the city’s founding anniversary; the newly-created Davao Summerfest, which promotes sports tourism in the city; the highly acclaimed Kadayawan Festival, which features the ten tribes of Davao City and the city’s flora and fauna and the Pasko Fiesta, which gives prominence to the Dabawenyo way of celebrating Christmas in the midst of the different beliefs and traditions of the people of Davao City.

In addition to the said events, Davao City has been chosen to host the Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (Mice) in 2013. Hosting Mice in next year has been considered as a tourism milestone and valuable achievement in the tourism industry of Davao City.

The committee, which will be chaired by the mayor herself, will also include City Administrator Zuleika Lopez as vice chair and Gene Bangayan of Duaw Dabaw Festival Foundation as co-vice chair.

Included in its functions would be the planning and ensuring the smooth coordination of all of the activities of the four major festivals of the city and encourage greater private sector participation during the said events.

According to the order, the roles and responsibilities in ensuring the successful implementation of the major events to be celebrated this year have been defined and will be specifically assigned to the committee member accountable.

Durian season is here again! This is an unusual Durian season since it usually starts in August. But as early as the second week of January 2012 Durian has been flooding the market at a very cheap price.

Prices starts from P35.oo up to P45.00 per kilo , depends upon the variety of the fruit.

This is not the first time that Durian abounds a s early as January, but expect more Durian to flood the markets of Davao and the prices are expected to be lower also.

Durian is one of my favorite fruit, as they say “Durian fruit smells like hell but taste like heaven“!

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) indications!

August 18, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD or TMD), or TMJ syndrome, is an umbrella term covering acute or chronic inflammation of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the mandible to the skull. The disorder and resultant dysfunction can result in significant pain and impairment.

TMD is sometimes caused by Anatomic factors (malocclusion) like:

Loss of one or more teeth

Loss of vertical dimension

Excessive tooth wear

An underdeveloped upper jaw

On the dentist point of view Dental Distress Syndrome is an indication of a TMD.

People with DDS typically may complain of one or many of the following:

Pain or tenderness of the TMJ area

Difficulty in opening or closing

Headaches

Dizziness

Hearing loss

Depression

Worrying

Nervousness

Forgetfulness

Insomnia

Sinusitis

Fatigue

Indigestion

Constipation

Dermatitis

Allergies

Frequent urination

Kidney and bladder complications

Cold hands and feet

Back and leg aches

Numbness

Body posture problems

DS is a dominant stressor of the body. Elimination of DDS can reverse many of these chronic conditions if caused by faulty proprioception. Faulty proprioception also affects the 5 th cranial nerve, which serves the lower jaw. This nerve has both motor and sensory functions and affects over 50% of the body’s functions.

The arteries and the veins that bring blood to and from your brain flow directly through 68 pairs of “dental muscles”. When the muscles become tight due to DDS, blood flow to the brain and the pituitary gland is reduced.

If you have any of those symptoms it is about time to visit your Dentist who has a knowledge of TMJ Disorder, here in Davao City you can go and visit Ortiz Dental Clinic at 101 Maa Road cor South St. DBP Village, Matina just across NCCC Mall. They specialize in TMD problems.
