Illegal terminal THE Cagayan de Oro City Council’s committee on public utilities would look into complaints of the proliferation of illegal transport terminal at the city’s public markets here, City Councilor Roger Abaday said on Tuesday.

The “habal-habal” motorcycles (a motorcycle used for conveying passengers) as a public transport is not sanctioned or recognized by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and the Land Transportation and Franchising Board (LTFRB) because it jeopardizes the safety of passengers.

Abaday said that the Agora West Bound Transport Operators/Drivers Association (AWTODA) has sought the intervention of the city council to stop the operation of “habalhabal” motorcycles in the public market.

Shipping confab to push for more stringent rules T

By IRENE DAYO, Staff Writer

HE Mindanao Shipping Conference slated today (June 18) at the Limketkai De Luxe Hotel in Cagayan de Oro City is set to tackle issues that would improve efficiency and eradicate corruption in the graft-ridden industry.

The whole-day conference will focus, among others, on key initiatives designed to streamline the operations and cut corruption in the Bureau of Customs’ (BOC).

Customs deputy commissioner for Assessment and Operations Coordinating Group Atty. Agaton Teodoro Uvero will tackle the recently implemented ruling on accreditation for importers and customs brokers; impending adoption of the load port survey (preshipment inspection) on

containerized shipments; and plans for full computerization at the bureau as well as a host of other measures that the BOC will adopt in the 12 months.

The other key points to be tackled include Mindanao’s shipping and trade prospects; the region’s role in sustaining Philippine economic growth; g ov e r n m e nt’s l o g i s t i c s strategies for Mindanao; and the impact of ASEAN economic integration on the transport sector. rules/PAGE 10

GE to provide 2 turbines for Misor coal-fired plant

By GRACE MAE BEBER, Staff Writer

MINERGY Coal Corp. has chosen the US-based General Electric Corp. (GE) to provide the needed turbines for its planned 110-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant in Balingasag, Misamis Oriental.

Minergy Coal, a subsidiary of power provider Cagayan Electric Power and Light Co. (Cepalco), in a statement said the GE won the bid to provide the province’s second coal-power plant with two 55-MW steam turbines which are set to be delivered in the first quarter of 2017.

Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp. and Toshiba Plant Systems & Services Corp., on the other hand, have been tapped to lead the plant’s construction.

The deal also marks the return of GE to the Philippine market.

In a statement, GE said that the project “aims to ease the power deficit in Mindanao to 68 MW by 2017.” The current balance is estimated at a shortage of 134 MW by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines. turbines/PAGE 10

CDO rafting outfitters rush safety proposals

By FROILAN GALLARDO, MindaNews

LOCAL rafting operators here rushed a set of safety measures to prevent a tragic repeat of last Friday’s boating accident that caused the death of a 26-year-old nurse from Bohol.

Mayor Oscar Moreno said local outfitters b elonging to the Oro Association of Rafters managed to squeeze in their recommendation just

before he made up his mind to suspend all whitewater rafting and kayaking tours along Cagayan de Oro River.

“We opted not to suspend the whitewater rafting and kayaking operations because we will study the set of recommendations,” Moreno said.

Meanwhile, the family of Aizza Calipusan Balbin brought her ashes back to

her hometown in Loboc, Bohol Monday afternoon.

Balbin, a home-based nurse in Loboc town, came to Cagayan de Oro last Friday to experience the whitewater rafting adventure which Cagayan de Oro is famous for.

Nearing the end of the course, the raft carrying Balbin, her three other companions and a guide capsized after hitting a huge safety/PAGE 10

2 Aquino approves increase in EC benefits wednesday|June 18, 2014

CAGAYAN de Oro City -President Benigno S. Aquino III recently approved the increase of Employees’ C omp e ns at i on Fu ne r a l B enefit from P10,000 to P20,000 for both the employees in the private

and public sectors and 10% across-the-board increase in EC pension for all EC permanent partial disability, permanent total disability and survivorship pension in the private sector.

Labor and Employment

S ecretar y and Chair of the ECC Board Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz explained that Executive Order No. 167 approved on 26 May 26, 2014 is based on the actuarial studies conducted by the Social Security System and the Government Service Insurance System.

“The increase in benefits will not have a significant effect on the SSS-managed and GSIS-managed State Insurance Fund,” she said.

“The EC SIF has the capability to finance the increase in funeral benefits for employe es in b ot h t he pr ivate and public sectors from P10,000 to P20,000 even without corresponding increase in the EC contributions from the employers, both private and public,” Baldoz clarified.

MisOr to host province-wide career, job fairs MISAMIS Oriental -- The provincial government of Misamis Oriental will host province-wide career and job fairs on June 25 and 26.

A c c o r d i n g t o G o v.

Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano, it is aimed to facilitate not only employment throughout the province and to neighboring provinces but also for career guidance and career clinics.

February for US$1.675 billion subject to working capital adjustments, transforming the Group into a global branded food and beverage company.

DMFI’s results have been consolidated since then and the Group today released results for the January-April 2014 Transition Period.

(Figures for comparison are not available for the prior year period due to DMFI operating as a division of a larger company).

The Group generated sales of US$379.2 million for the Transition Period which included DMFI’s sales of US$292.9 million from February 18 to the end of April 2014. Excluding DMFI, DMPL’s branded business in Asia, comprising of Del Monte in the Philippines and the Indian subcontinent as well as S&W in Asia and the Middle East, and nonbranded business globally, recorded sales of US$94.7 million (which included sales to DMFI), lower than prior year period mainly due to lower sales in the Philippines.

In the US, DMPL benefited from DMFI’s Easter shipments while in Asia, the S&W branded business delivered sales growth of 27 percent mainly driven by market expansion into the Middle East, business development in the Philippines and strong growth in Korea.

The Group announced that one-off acquisition expenses would adversely impact its bottom-line for the Transition Period. These expenses include US$15 million for higher fixed manufacturing costs net of tax.

It also includes US$14 million net of tax restatement to fair market values of the assets which formed part of the acquisition as required by purchase accounting standards and US$6.2 million net of tax for acquisitionrelated transaction fees. This is in addition to the US$16.6 million booked by DMPL in 2013.

“We retained a strong management team in the US who are committed to increase market opportunities and profitability for the iconic Del Monte brand,” said Mr. DMPL Managing Director Joselito D. Campos, Jr.

Lifelong Pleasure

T

hink a minute…A father was outside with his son when he saw two geese. Wanting to teach his son about true love and faithfulness, he said: “You know, son, geese mate for life.” His son looked concerned and asked: “Don’t they do anything else, Dad?” One of God’s greatest gifts to us is sex. But like everything else, there’s a right way and a wrong way to use it. So since God invented sex, He’s the One who knows the correct purpose for it. This is why we need to understand His plan for this lifelong pleasure.

First, sex produces life itself. The fact that through this simple act of love other human beings are born with souls that live forever is both awesome and scary! In this way, sex is the greatest power we humans possess—so we must be very careful to use it correctly or we’ll destroy not just our life but many other lives, even generations after us.

Secondly, sex is personal.

No one is just a body. God made us in His likeness with a mind, emotions, and soul. So the act of sex is not just physical. Just using someone’s body to give you physical pleasure and satisfaction is what animals do. A recent study in a certain Pacific country showed that

Go Negosyo Act Promotes Entrepreneurial Spirit

T

he Go Negosyo Act, which promotes the development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to ease doing business in all cities and municipalities in the country is the most awaited good news of our business communities.

THE measure will facilitate access to financing and capability building programs for MSMEs and promote employment generation in all cities and municipalities of the country.

Providing the entrepreneur sector with better incentives and benefits, and more access to focused support for enhanced business performance, would surely promote support to key growth industries and facilitate financing support programs that are much-needed for growth. The Go Negosyo Act

will help improve the design and implementation of the nation’s MSMEs sector.

MSMEs, now more than ever, have an important socioeconomic role in the nation’s machinery. Unemployment numbers are growing, and we have to realize that allocating effort and resources towards a strong and thriving MSME sector not only sustains, but also leads to the creation of considerable and promising net employment.

Go Negosyo Act provides a Start-up Fund for MSMEs to be sourced from the MSME Development Fund and Barangay Micro Business

Enterprises (BMBEs) to provide financing for the development and promotion of MSMEs in priority sectors of the economy.

Under the measure, a “Negosyo Center” shall be established in all provinces, cities and municipalities under the supervision of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Council.

The Negosyo Centers shall be responsible for promoting ease of doing business and access to services for MSMEs within its jurisdiction. It shall accept and facilitate all registration

I met a lot of Filipino Oversea Workers. Mostly, they have been so much occupied and so tired with work that on half-day-off, they don’t go out anymore. They prefered to rest instead. There is no more time to remain in touch with teir loved ones.

send an SMS, because the “AMO” was there always.

Being abroad is sometimes like being in a garden of roses. Everybody is free to pick up flowers but surely, every body will find it that easy because the roses are on top of the thorns.

Much has already been written and talked about homesickness of mind and heart. Homesickness usually attacks when Pinoys receive unpleasant notices from home, as many say, “O ano, may sulat ka. Alam ko ang laman niya. PROBLEMA AT MAGPADALA KA NG PERA.”

Ner vousness leads to homesickness. Homesickness comes when a tooth aches with the thought that a monthly salary is not enough to have one fixed ... and what about the other usual bodily aches? Homesickness comes when one is so hungry he or she couldn’t simply chew something because the ‘AMO” is around.

Homesickness comes, when one hears one of the boys in the Philippines d o e s n’t w a nt t o g o t o school. As one father in my neighborhood said this morning, “Anahin ba natin ang pera kung ayaw din lang mag-eskuwela ang bata?”

PNoy’s “Referral Governance”

L each person had an average of 57 different sex partners during their lifetime. That is not God’s plan and purpose for sex. Real, satisfying sex is expressing your deepest love to the one person in the world whom you’ve chosen to responsibly live with every day of your life.

Third, sex is permanent.

God’s plan for sex is not just a one-night stand, but a pleasure for a lifetime.

It only makes sense that through the years of love and intimacy, the pleasure just gets better with your wife or husband because you get to know each other much better. As the saying goes: “Love is like wine: it gets better with age.” Love just grows deeper as you grow together through both the good times and the bad.

That’s the only kind of love hurst/PAGE 11

This is a worthy challenge!

IFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act…” (Proverbs 3:27, the Holy Bible).

-ooo PNOY’S “REFERRAL GOVERNANCE”: There must be something terribly wrong with the government when, in answer to situations, events, and problems, all that top government leaders would---and could---do is to refer the situation, event, and problem to subordinate officials, and thereafter trumpet the claim that, by such referral, they have already done something which their constituents should praise.

This is what is happening--and, in fact, what had been happening---with the Aquino government since it took power in 2010. Rather than “righteous governance”, what has been in place is “referral governance”. For example, do you remember what President Aquino did during the Luneta hostage crisis early on in his term?

He simply referred the

matter to police officials and city authorities, that’s what--and almost a dozen tourists and other people got killed!

And this had been the sorry standard of government action ever since: whenever a problem confronted the Aquino government, the most concrete action of the President had always been the referral of that problem to his subordinates, nothing more, nothing less.

-ooo EVIL OF “REFERRAL GOVERNANCE”: Examples of this kind of a “referral governance” in fact continue to abound today, four years into Aquino’s six-year term, and less than two years before he bows out from Malacanang. Let me cite just a few of them, starting off with the problem of how to allow some 100,000 scholars f u nd e d by p ork b ar rel allocations to continue with their studies, after the allocations were declared illegal.

Secretary Sonny Coloma of the Presidential Communications Group told mediamen that, in solving

t h e s ch ol ar s’ pro bl e m , President Aquino once again referred the matter to the C ommission on Higher Education (CHED), even if CHED appeared unable to find a solution because it is not authorized to disburse any fund for the tuition of the students.

The n, on t he r isi ng prices of rice, garlic, and other basic necessities, and petroleum products as well, mere referrals were similarly made by the President to t he agencies hav ing to do with these particular concerns. The problem is that, despite the referrals, the prices of those commodities continued to spiral, causing greater hardship among the poor and the marginalized.

-ooo CONCRETE ACTION IS REQUIRED: Clearly, the Bible frowns on this kind of a system of solving problems, by merely referring them to someone else, without any concrete action being undertaken by the President in helping those who are in need or who are in trouble.

In James 2:14-16, there is

a great admonition against mere “lip service” kind of helping.

This part of the Bible says: “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, `Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?”

Values Education, Caught or Taught? Who’s Concern?

By JUSTINA S. BAUL Division of Ozamiz City Cavinte Elementary School D-IV

Teaching and learning start at home. It is the role of the parents to teach their children in learning things that would be essential for them to live in this world. One of the things that parents must do is to set examples in having good morale with right upbringing to their children and to teach them the basic values as Christians.

The teachers’ role of course is to teach. Teaching how to read, write and teaching the children how to think logically are things that must be taught by the teacher in the school. But, it doesn’t only focus on these things. What is Knowledge after all when they do not have the right morals and good values that a Christian should possess?

Who has the great responsibility in molding the kids in this aspect? Is it the parents or the teachers? Both parents and teachers play a vital role in teaching values to the children.

Comparing the old and new generation of learners, there is really a wide range

of difference in terms of the morals and values that they portray. Where did the good morals and upright values from our ancestors go? Who are to be blamed in the great impact of the low morale, attitudes and values of this 20th century generation learners? Is it the parents who failed to impart good manners and right values to their children who have direct contract with the children in which they live and sleep together the same roof? Or the teachers who failed to integrate important values to the learners in the classroom in which they stay together with the minimum of 8 hours a day?

I say , values must be observed and taught at home, be enriched in school, should be practiced and be put to use anywhere in the best way possible . In this way, we can ensure the preservation of our Christian values, at the same time, more intelligent learners who are knowledgeable about things and have a heart that a human being ought to have.

The Provincial Government of Misamis Oriental through the able leadership of Honorable Governor Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano commemorates 116th Independence Day at the Provincial Capitol Grounds earlier today. The Honorable Governor sets forth in encouraging people to ponder if we are truly “free”, only “free” if we could create changes in our community; changes that would not only benefit the few, but all, most especially the poor. This marks another history also as the Capitol employees wear Filipinianas and ethnicinspired ensembles as a tribute to our greatness as Filipinos.

RED CROSS VOLUNTEERS – VICE GOVERNOR JOEY G. PELAEZ, together with Gingoog City Mayor Marie Guingona, met and mingled with Red Cross Volunteers of Gingoog City. Vice Governor Pelaez is a Director of the Board of the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Cagayan de Oro – Misamis Oriental Chapter while Mayor Guingona is the President of the PRC – Gingoog City Chapter. Vice Governor Pelaez sees Red Cross as an extension of his public service. It will be recalled that on November 2013 he personally donated to Red Cross Php 200,000 as financial assistance to the victims of supertyphoon Yolanda and encouraged all Sangguniang Panlalawigan employees to participate in a blood-letting activity.

Rules... from page 1

Under the new BOC administration, the agency has rolled out a number of policies aimed at rationalizing operations and addressing loopholes that give rise to corrupt customs and trade practices.

One of these policies is the Department of Finance requirement for accreditation of all importers and customs brokers at the BOC and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

Under the newly enacted rules, all importers and customs brokers will have to secure their BIR importer clearance certificate or BIR customs broker clearance certificate from the BIR head office in Quezon City.

A separate accreditation from the BOC is also required so importers and customs brokers can transact with the customs agency.

The load port survey on containerized shipments, on the other hand, is scheduled for implementation within the third quarter of the year. Based on a draft customs administrative order At the end of his presentation, Uvero will take questions from conference delegates.

Other conference speakers include former Socio-Economic Planning Secretary Dr Cayetano Paderanga, Jr, who will discuss economic prospects for Mindanao; Dr Adora Navarro whose presentation will focus on the benefits of ASEAN integration on the logistics industry; and PIE-MO Industries Association president Augustus Adis who will point out the needs of Mindanao shippers

and cargo service providers.

by Smart Infinity (Gold Sponsor); Soonest Global and Phoenix Petroleum (Silver Sponsors); Fast Logistics, Petron, Seda Centrio and Smart Communications (Bronze Sponsors); and Avida Land Corp, Isuzu, Jentec Storage and Sun Cellular (Exhibitors).

from page 1 “This is a significant milestone for GE as the company has reentered the Philippine power market after being inactive for over a decade,” said JV Emmanuel A. De Dios, GE Philippines’ chief executive officer (CEO).

“The Cepalco project signifies GE’s commitment to provide an economically relevant solution to the customer while maintaining the quality and reliability that the GE brand is known for,” he added.

“We are optimistic that this will help alleviate the power shortage in Mindanao as well as provide power security for CEPALCO’s franchise areas covering Cagayan de Oro City and the towns of Tagoloan, Villanueva and Jasaan in Misamis Oriental,” Cepalco CEO and Vice-Chairman Edgardo

A. Bautista said.

GE said its joint venture with Triveni Turbine Ltd., GE Triveni, offers a large portfolio of steam turbine products with capacities ranging from 30 MW to 100 MW. These turbines are manufactured in Bangalore, India.

Last month, Vivant Integrated Generation Corp. (VIGC) acquired a 40% equity stake in Minergy Coal in a P681.25-million deal.

VIGC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vivant Energy Corp., which in turn is 100% owned by the Cebu-based Vivant Corp.

Minergy Coal was originally owned by Mindanao Energy Systems, Inc. (Minergy) to build a plant that will supply power to CEPALCO’s franchise area.

Minergy is an independent power producer established in 1992 to help address the power supply problems of Mindanao.

We are doing all we can to ease the pain of the family,” Moreno said.

Moreno said he had formed a committee to be chaired by Dorothy Pabayo, a former regional director of the Department of Tourism, to study the recommendations made by the association of whitewater rafting operators.

The Oro Association of Rafters (OAR), the trade group of the local outfitters, recommended five “unified countermeasures” they will implement to ensure the safety of the tourists.

The group recommended that an additional guide aboard another kayak will be deployed in each of the already identified dangerous sections, or “critical points” of the river.

The tour operators also agreed to reduce the rafting trip from three hours to only an hour as “extra precautionary measure.”

An extra trained guide will ride with the raft in addition to the regular guide now being practiced; and guests will now be given intensive lectures on handling and paddling techniques.

“The accident is an eye opener for the local government and the industry itself. We must come up with measures to save this industry by emphasizing on the safety of the tourists,” Moreno said.

An estimated 5,000 local tourists from all over the country arrive here every year to experience whitewater adventure thrills, making Cagayan de Oro the nation’s whitewater capital.

City) told the BusinessWeek Mindanao.

Rodriguez said that he is willing to champion the BBL during plenary debates, confirming reports circulating in Mindanao that various sectors closed to the peace negotiations are tapping him for this cause.

“Yes, I will champion — sponsor and defend — the BBL in Congress,” he said.

But Rodriguez said he will relinquish that “position” if the House leadership will appoint him as chairman of the House ad

hoc committee that will review Malacañang’s proposed BBL. The Office of the President is fine-tuning the draft BBL, which from Mohager Iqbal, chief peace negotiator of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), submitted on April 22.

Reports quoted House Majority Leader Neptali “Boyet” Gonzales II as having said that “an announcement will be made for Congressman Rufus to lead the ad hoc panel for the Bangsamoro bill.”

Rodriguez, however, said that “it is just a recommendation. Nobody has approached me about this appointment yet.”

Constitutional BBL “But if appointed, I can no longer serve as the so-called “champion” for the BBL because as chairman, my duty is to give space to all quarters regardless of political color and argument. I have to be neutral,” he added.

Whether as “champion” of as chairman of the ad hoc committee, he said that he will exert all efforts so that Congress will pass a Constitutional BBL and help bring peace to his native Mindanao.

Rodriguez disclosed that more than 60 percent of the 290 congressmen of the 16th Congress are in favor of the BBL and will vote for its passage. This is based on the result of an ongoing mapping of congressmen on the acceptability of the BBL being done by an international group.

The Bangsamoro Basic Law was specifically designed to allow the Bangsamoro people to “fully exercise their rights based on their unique customs, traditions, beliefs and cultural identity.”

Contrary to unconfirmed reports that the House leadership will put the proposed BBL straight to the plenary for debates, Rodriguez said that it will be best for the proposed Organic Act of the proposed new Bangsamoro New Political Entity to undergo committee hearings before going into plenary.

In the committee level, possible questions that will be raised in the plenary will have already been answered. Also, it is expected that during committee hearings, the proposed measure will have been scrutinized from its first letter in the first page to its last period in the last page, paving the way for a smooth passage in plenary.

Groups and individuals supporting the BBL are confident that all constitutional issues have already been ironed out and adequately answered given that the draft BBL is itself based on the 1987 “Freedom” Constitution.

On the question of territorial and political subdivisions, Article X, Section 1 of the Constitution defined the territorial and political subdivisions of the Philippines as the provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays. But it also states “There shall be autonomous regions in Muslim Mindanao and the Cordilleras as herein after provided.”

On the question of the creation of the autonomous region, Section 15 of Article X states that “there shall be created autonomous regions in Muslim Mindanao and in the Cordilleras consisting of provinces, cities municipalities, and geographical areas sharing common and distinctive historical and cultural heritage, economic and social structures, and other relevant characteristics.”

On the structure of government, Article X, Section 18 states that “the organic act shall define the basic structure of government for the region consisting of the executive department and legislative assembly, both of which shall be elective and representative of the constituent political units. The organic act shall likewise provide for special courts with personal, family, and property law jurisdiction consistent with the provisions of this Constitution and national laws.”

On questions of the sharing of power and wealth, Article XII, Section 1 states that “the goals of the national economy are a more equitable distribution of opportunities, income and wealth; a sustained increase in the amount of goods and services produced by the nation for the benefit of the people; and an expanding productivity as the key to raising the quality of life for all, especially the underprivileged.”

Article XIII, Section 1 of the Constitution also states that “the Congress shall give highest priority to the enactment of measures that protect and enhance the right of all the people to human dignity, reduce social, economic, and political inequalities, and remove cultural inequities by equally diffusing wealth and political power for the common good.”

Also, Article X, Section 7 states that “local governments shall be entitled to an equitable share in the proceeds of the utilization and development of the national wealth within their respective areas, in the manner provided by law, including sharing the same with the inhabitants by way of direct benefits.” (To be continued) EXTRA JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT AMONG HEIRS WITH WAIVER OF RIGHTS Notice is hereby given that the intestate estate of the late ROMULO ALVIA SERINO, who died on July 27, 2008 at Baroy, Lanao del Norte without any will; left “ A parcel of Lot 2, Blk 8, Psd-123522-017578, being a portion of Lot 14 Blk C, ( LRC) Psd- 100834 situated in the Barangay Poblacion, Municipality of Tubod, Province of Lanao del Norte, Island of Mindanao.

reviewing policies to improve its benefits. “The funeral benefits for employees in the private sector was worth P3,000 since 1975, it was increased to P10,000 in 1993, and increased again to P20,000 this year,” said Banawis.

For the public sector, the funeral benefit was only P3,000 in 1975. It was increased to P10,000 in 2013 and again increased to P20,000 this year.

“It is high time for ECC to enhance its benefits,” Banawis explained. “The average funeral service cost nowadays is P43,000, so we see the need of increasing it to P20,000 to alleviate the financial burden of the families of the deceased workers,” added Banawis.

In addition to the increase of funeral benefits, a 10% across-the-board increase in the EC pension for all EC permanent partial disability, permanent total disability and survivorship pension starting in September 2013 for the private sector has also been approved by the President.

T he i nc re as e to E C pension in the private sector does not require an increase in the EC contributions from the employers.

ECC provides benefits to employees who met accident, sickness or death in the event of work-connected contingencies.

The Employees’ Compensation Program benefits are loss of income, medical, carer’s allowance, rehabilitation services and death benefits.

If you haven’t been using sex the way it’s made to be enjoyed as a lifelong pleasure that’s productive, personal, and permanent, you can ask Jesus to forgive you. Then ask Him to change you and help you to control and use your sexual desires rightly, so you’ll learn to enjoy this gift from God with the one you love for a lifetime.

SPL. PROC. NO. 285-07-2014

This is a petition for adoption of minor name JOANNAH MARIE DAYONDON CAYACAP filed before this Court on May 23, 2014 by the herein petitioners praying among others that after notice and hearing, judgment be entered adjudging the minor JOANNAH MARIE DAYONDON CAYACAP to be the child of spouses JONATHAN GEMINO ABALDE and ANTONIETA DAYONDON ABALDE and to change the child’s name from JOANNAH MARIE DAYONDON to NIŇA DAYONDON ABALDE.

Petitioners allege that they are spouses, both Filipino citizens, of legal age, married, and resident of Purok 3, Libertad, Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte. They were married on December 22, 200o in Tubod, Lanao del Norte with full capacity, of good moral character as evidenced by the Certification issued by their Barangay Captain. They have no legitimate children and desire to adopt JOANNAH MARIE DAYONDON CAYACAP, an illegitimate child of Jermalou Dayondon Cayacap. The latter is a single mother and niece of petitioner Antonieta Dayondon Abalde. The child to be adopted is now five (5) years old and has been under the joint custody of the petitioners since her birth on January 18, 2009. Jermalou, the biological mother of the child was only eighteen (18) years old when she delivered Joannah. She could not support the child and decided to abandon her parental authority to the petitioners who took care of the child since then. To the best interest of the child, the biological mother agreed to the legal adoption of her child. She voluntarily executed an Affidavit of Intent and Consent to the filing of the instant petition for adoption. Since the birth of the child on January 18, 2009, petitioners have treated the minor child as their own and continue to give her the proper care and love as well as financial, emotional and moral support. In response, the child now considers them as real parents. Petitioners are sixteen (16) years older than the minor to be adopted, hence, are not disqualified by law to adopt. Petitioner husband being an overseas worker and the wife, being a public school teacher, are financially and morally able to raise up and educate the child properly and adequately. In the community they lived, the child has been known as NIŇA DAYONDON ABALDE. This is the name she used when she enrolled as Nursery in Tubod Kiddie School. The petitioners further petition the Court that in addition for their prayers for the approval of the petition they sought, they also seek for the change of name of the child from JOANNAH MARIE DAYONDON CAYACAP to NIŇA DAYONDON ABALDE, to the best interest and welfare of the child to be adopted.

Set the initial hearing of the petition to August 15, 2014 at 8:30 in the morning before the sala of this Court. Furnish copy of this Order to the Office of the Solicitor General at Makati City, Office of the Public Prosecutor in Tubod, Lanao del Norte, Atty. Joel Alima of Tangub City and to the petitioners whose residence is at Purok 3, Libertad, Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte. Let copy of this Order be published in a newspaper of general circulation for three (3) consecutive weeks, at the expense of the petitioners.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development Office in Tubod, Lanao del Norte is hereby directed to conduct a Home Study and Child Study Report upon the petitioners and the child sought to be adopted, as well as the biological parents. She is directed to submit a report relative thereto at least three (3) days before the scheduled hearing.

Any interested person/s are hereby directed to come to Court on said date and time to show cause why said petition should not be granted.

So Ordered.

Tubod, Lanao del Norte.
