SUBJECT:  AMBASSADOR HIGHLIGHTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN 
CAGAYAN DE ORO 
 
------- 
SUMMARY 
------- 
 
1.  The Ambassador's trip to Cagayan de Oro on June 8 
highlighted U.S. business interests and USAID's active 
engagement in the commercial center of Northern Mindanao. 
Cagayan de Oro is a gateway and regional market for eight 
cities representing five provinces in the region.  It is a 
medium-sized city with a population just over 460,000. 
During her one-day visit, the Ambassador met with 
beneficiaries of USAID projects including the 
Microenterprise Access to Banking Services program and the 
Avian Influenza Municipal Planning Workshops; attended the 
launch of the USAID's Education and Employment Alliance 
program; and toured the Rio Verde Water Consortium's Bulk 
Water Supply Project.  End summary. 
 
------------------------------------------ 
Microenterprise Access to Banking Services 
------------------------------------------ 
 
2.  The Ambassador called on Green Bank, which participates 
in USAID's Microenterprise Access to Banking Services (MABS) 
program.  The USG invested $17.5 million in this program 
that provides training and technical assistance to rural 
banks to develop their capability to offer loans and deposit 
services to microenterprises on a self-sustaining, profit- 
making basis.  Ambassador Kenney praised small business 
owners for their hard work and recognized the 
accomplishments of Green Bank, which uses innovative 
technology such as cell phone payment transfers and text 
message invoice reminders to transact business with its 
clients.  The Green Bank network boasts 32 branches at 
present, which represents a dramatic increase from six 
branches when the bank joined the MABS program in 2000. 
This individual network of banks has already dispersed $26 
million in micro loans using business strategies promoted by 
the MABS program. 
 
3.  Green Bank managers marked the occasion of the 
Ambassador's visit with a ceremony to recognize their 
30,000th loan recipient, Rosie Bilog.  Ms. Bilog's loan 
enabled her to increase her working capital to support 
operations of her cashew processing business.  After the 
ceremony, the Ambassador met with the local press 
representatives and responded to a variety of questions on 
topics ranging from the MABS program to the war on terror. 
 
------------------------------------------- 
Avian Influenza Municipal Planning Workshop 
------------------------------------------- 
 
4.  The Ambassador delivered remarks at an Avian Influenza 
(AI) Municipal Planning Workshop sponsored by USAID.  The 
USG has invested $129,000 to support a series of AI 
Municipal Planning Workshops for representatives from 33 
provinces to develop preparedness plans, conduct public 
information campaigns and heighten surveillance.  Human and 
animal health professionals from the provinces of Surigao 
Del Sur and Surigao Del Norte attended a 2-day session at 
the Pryce Hotel in Cagayan De Oro on June 7-8.  The 
Ambassador joined the group mid-morning to offer 
encouragement for the preparedness planning efforts.  She 
highlighted the importance of working together to prepare 
for the possibility of an AI outbreak in the RP.  She told 
workshop participants that she admired their commitment to 
protect the poultry industry and its workers by taking time 
away from their daily routine to learn more about counter-AI 
initiatives.  The Ambassador's remarks were well received by 
the group.  During the Q&A session, one participant thanked 
the Ambassador for her remarks and stated that her visit 
marked the first time, in his experience, that an Ambassador 
had recognized the contributions of health professionals. 
 
------------------------------- 
Education & Employment Alliance 
------------------------------- 
 
5.  The Ambassador delivered the keynote speech at the 
Education and Employment Alliance (EEA) program launch in 
Cagayan de Oro.  Together with the International Youth 
Foundation, USAID is sponsoring the EEA program in cities 
throughout the Southern island of Mindanao.  The EEA 
provides out of school youth with education and employment 
opportunities to help them to earn a livelihood.  USAID has 
awarded $500,000 to support the three-year program. 
International Youth Foundation (IYF) and local partners are 
providing leverage that will double that amount.  During her 
speech, the Ambassador said that education is the most 
important gift that we can offer to young people.  She 
recognized the EEA as a partnership with committed citizens 
 
MANILA 00002570  002 OF 002 
 
 
and encouraged all to reach out to help young people find a 
productive place in society.  Local leaders including 
Governor Oscar Moreno of the Misamis Oriental province also 
endorsed the project.  The event was well attended by local 
leaders including the Governor, Mayors, educators and 
project stakeholders.  After the ceremony, the Ambassador 
held a press conference together with project stakeholders 
from the IYF, Consuelo Foundation and the Metal Working 
Industry Association of the Philippines to respond to 
questions about the EEA program. 
 
------------------------- 
Bulk Water Supply Project 
------------------------- 
 
6.  The Ambassador also attended a signing ceremony for a 
$9.6 million loan that the Development Bank of the 
Philippines will provide to the Rio Verde Water Consortium, 
Inc. for its Bulk Water Supply Project (BWSP) in Cagayan de 
Oro.  The consortium is owned by American and Filipino 
investors.  After the ceremony, she visited the construction 
site of the BWSP which will provide potable drinking water 
from a nearby river to citizens of the Cagayan De Oro and 
ultimately replace the town's waning supply of well water, 
which has become intermittently contaminated.  The Rio Verde 
Water Consortium is considering similar projects in 
Zamboanga, Davao and Cebu.
