Apart from it, he said some public elementary schools were given Encyclopedia worth P100,000. Local residents were also given free medicines, he added. “Unfortunately the local government of Jose Abad Santos didn’t allocate money for this project,” said Chua adding, “this is my personal initiative with the help of my friends and members of JCICentral Davao, Senoritas and other sponsors.” He said the budget for the project is more than P1

million and he is expecting that 12,000 pupils and children will recieve school supplies and benefit the feeding program.

city, as the AIDS council here is set to widen the campaign on persuading people with risky behaviors to voluntarily submit for testing and counseling. The Reproductive Health and Wellness Center (RHWC) here told the weekly iSpeak media forum at the City Hall that “in Region XI, Davao city contributes the most cases of HIV positive which is 82 per cent”. Patrick Albit of the RHWC was unable to release the number of persons with HIV in Davao City, but

said the incidence in the region accounts for only six percent of the country’s total of 20,424 cases as of August this year since the country starts recording cases. However, he warned that the number may be likely increase “if there will be more people to volunteer to test”. The Davao City Aids Council (DCAC) is currently pursuing the campaign to popularize the “voluntary counseling and testing.” Alma Mondragon, executive director of Alliance Against Aids in Mindanao (Alagad Mindanao) and a member of the council, said they will tap the barangay officials to take part in campaign “for they are the ones closer to the communities. Mondragon disclosed that many cases of patients with the HIV have been diagnosed late with the infection. “It would be better if a person will take the test ear-

lier in order to be diagnosed and be supported by the RHWC,” she added. Albit said that RHWC has extended its testing time to 10:00 pm to cater to those who can not take the test in the morning. “There is nothing to worry about the test for the center will give a free and confidential test for those who want to take it,” he said. Albit said it has now 63 peer educators who volunteered to do the education, counseling, and referral to the RHWC to take the test. He admitted difficulty also in the recording of cases of death caused by AIDS “because many family of the victims would not specify the cause of death in the death certificate”. Albit said that the country’s AIDS registry recorded only 1, 052 deaths, of which 862 are males and 190 are females; 124 in the age bracket

Recovering ill-gotten wealth of public officials, employees There is a lingering need to strengthen the powers of the State to enable the recovery of ill-gotten wealth amassed by public officials or employees. HB 4732 or “An Act strengthening the forfeiture powers of the State, amending for the purpose certain provisions of Republic Act No. 1379, otherwise known as ‘An Act declaring forfeiture in favor of the State any property found to have been unlawfully acquired by any public officer or employee and providing for the proceedings therefore,” must be supported and institutionalized. The proposed amendments should serve as an effective deterrent to prevent public officials or employees from concealing, destroying or dissipating their unlawfully acquired properties and safeguard the interest of the State in the recovery of said assets which rightfully belong

Do the Hong Kong protesters reach new heights with democracy banner on Lion Rock? In a bid to renew their lost ‘Lion Rock Spirit,’ prodemocracy activists in Hong Kong unfurled a banner demanding “genuine universal suffrage” on the local hill of the same name. Protests began almost a month ago. In the latest wave of protests in the Asian financial hub, a group of Chinese demonstrators on Thursday las week unfurled a huge banner on Hong Kong’s famous “Lion Rock,” which overlooks many poor neighborhoods across the region’s harbor. The stunt came following comments made by

to the people, according to Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, author of HB 4732. Rodriguez (2nd District, Cagayan de Oro City), with his brother and Abante Mindanao party-list Rep. Maximo Rodriguez, Jr. as co-author, are correct in arguing that the State “has the right to recover from public officials or employees, including their transferees or nominees, properties which were not lawfully acquired.” Indeed, R.A. 1379 concretizes that right of the State to recover said ill-gotten wealth. It is observed that due to modern methods and sophisticated means being employed by corrupt public officials and employees, they are able to spirit away unlawfully acquired properties within increasingly short period of time, and out of the State’s reach. There is certainly a

need to amend certain provisions of the law for the State to be fully effective in recovering stolen assets by arming its chief enforcer – the Office of the Ombudsman – the necessary powers to run after violators. Among other proposed changes in Section 2 of the Act, HB 4732 inserts Sections 2-A and 2-b to read as follows: “SEC. 2-A. PRIMA FACIE PRESUMPTIONS, -- (1) Whenever any public officer or employee has acquired during his incumbency property or properties which are manifestly out of proportion to his salary, as such public office or employee, and to his other lawful income, and the income from other legally acquired property/properties, said property shall be presumed prima facie to have been unlawfully acquired.”

Editorial... from page A4

OF PETITION – When, during or after the fact-finding investigation of the Office of the Ombudsman, it appears that there is reasonable ground to believe that a public officer or employee has unlawfully

acquired property, the said office, on behalf of the Republic of the Philippines, may file an Adverse Claim in the proper Registry of Deeds, or the appropriate Public Registry, setting forth a description of the property/ties covered by the fact-finding investigation, and the claim of Right of Interest of the State therein as possible subjects of forfeiture.” Likewise, the authors propose to insert Section 5-A to RA 1379 to read as follows: “SEC. 5-A. AUTHORITY TO SELL PENDING FORFEITURE PROCEEDING. – In case there is danger of depreciation to the value of the personal property or spoilage in case of perishable properties, upon motion filed by the Office of the Ombudsman before the proper court, the personal property subject of forfeiture may be sold at public auction pending the resolution of the forfeiture proceeding. The proceeds of the sale at public auction shall be held in trust by the Office of the Ombudsman until the forfeiture proceeding is finally resolved.” Furthermore, the bill provides that “the Ombudsman (in place of the Solicitor General under the current law) may grant immunity from criminal prosecution to any person who testifies to the unlawful manner in which the respondent has acquired any of the property in question in cases where such testimony is necessary to prove violations of this Act.” On the penal clause, HB 4732 provides that “any public officer or employee who shall, after the effective date of this Act, transfer or convey any unlawfully acquired property shall be penalized with imprisonment for a term of not less than one year and one day but not more than six years, or a fine not exceeding twice the amount of the property transferred or conveyed, or both such imprisonment and fine, perpetual disqualification from public office, and confiscation or forfeiture in favor of the government of any prohibited interest.” Likewise, “The same penalties shall be imposed upon any person who shall knowingly accept such unlawful transfer or conveyance. Any such conveyance shall be void ab initio (from the start). These amendments, once approved, would give more teeth to the government’s drive to recover ill-gotten wealth. Let it be done.

CHO offer free multi-drug therapy for leprosy disease By Roel N. Catoto of MindaNews

URIGAO City – The City Health Office here said there are only a few documented cases of leprosy, but its officials are worried that more people might be suffering from the disease. Jessica L. Nepomuceno, officer-in-charge for leprosy control program of the CHO, said that only seven people sought treatment for leprosy. But she said some

people may have avoided the CHO because of the stigma that comes with the disease. “When we tried to offer our service to them, these people would shun us away, denying they have this disease,” she said, adding that some of those afflicted would avoid the CHO because of the stigma. She said most of the persons who sought for treatment were referred by dermatologists in the city.

Of seven people who have treatment last year, two were actually cured while the rest are still undergoing treatment. Wikipedia said leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is a chronic infection caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. Initially infections are without symptoms and typically remain this way for 5 to as long as 20 years. Symptoms that develop

include granulomas of the nerves, respiratory tract, skin, and eyes, Wikipedia added. This may result in a lack of ability to feel pain and thus loss of parts of extremities due to repeated injuries. ] Weakness and poor eyesight may also be present. Garrote Menor, a nurse at CHO, said they pity the leprosy victims because some parts of their body have already deformed. Nepomuceno said she

has seen some leprosy victims who already have deformities in their body but are still not seeking medical treatment. “Parts where deformities occurred can be very hard to treat,” she said. The CHO is offering a free multi-drug therapy (MDT) for this disease. “This would take at least one year to complete the curing period,” Menor said. Health officials said leprosy can infect other persons through nasal

DENR Caraga releases captured tarsier to natural habitat BUTUAN City––The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Caraga Regional Director Nonito M. Tamayo has advised the residents at the perimeters of the Promontory Park in Barangay Bood, Pinamanculan, this city to protect the first tarsier released by the DENR in the area where it will make its natural habitat for the rest of his life. The DENR Protected Areas and Wildlife Division (PAWD) personnel headed by regional technical director Ronilo Salac have freed the tarsier on October 5 at the said park. The tarsier was captured by Felix Lambigit, an abacca worker in Sitio Kadahon-dahunan, Baran-

gay 2, Poblacion, Santiago, Agusan del Norte. “It was my first time to see a tarsier. I thought it was an “evil” creature when I hit it. I tried to sell it to a friend to earn extra income,” he said. On October 4, 2014, a call from his friend informed him that the tarsier would be turned over to the DENR. “We were told that selling the animal is prohibited by Republic Act 9147 or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act,” he added. On the following day, the PAWD technical staff namely, Rex Plaza, Rolly Caballero and Jestoni Peras released the 37.5 cm. tall tarsier to the park so that

the male tarsier could live. The Philippine tarsier, (Tarsius syrichta) is one of the smallest known primates. They are mostly active at night and lives on a diet of insects. According to DENR Administrative Order No. 2004-15, the Philippine tarsier is under the “other threatened species” conservation status. “Tarsiers are very sensitive to a life in captivity. They commit suicide due to trauma caused by touching and loud noise. This is why releasing them back to their habitat is the best thing we can do to protect them,” a PAWD technical staff said. (NCLM/Maria Catherine M. Gonzaga, DENR-Caraga/PIA-Caraga)

Tarsiers attract tourists and visitors to barangay Candabong in Loboc, Bohol, where some 113 of this small monkey are protected. The place used to ask for donations from visitors but now charges entrance fees of P50 for children and P60 for adults. The small monkey has made Bohol famous.

droplets. “Coughing and sneezing are among the causes of transmission,” Nepomuceno explained. She advised that persons afflicted with leprosy should not hesitate to visit their office because the CHO does not charge for the medicines, adding that the anti-leprosy drugs are also not available in the drugstores. “We have free medications and check ups,” Nepomuceno said. NOTICE NOTICE is hereby given that the estate of GERONIMO SARINAS, who died intestate at Butuan City on March 11, 2006, consisting of a certain portion of land (Lot No. 11, Block No. 10) situated at Furia Subdivision, Barangay Libertad, Agusan del Norte, covered by Tax Declaration No. 0806-003-01934, Property Identification No. 162-06-0003-030-66, containing an area of 180 square meters, is the subject of an EXTRA JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF THE ESTATE OF THE LATE GERONIMO SARINAS WITH SIMULTANEOUS SALE executed by deceased Geronimo Sarinas’ surviving heirs, namely, widow Balbina Sarinas, children Mary Jacquelyn Sarinas-Rabon and Janette B.

Gov’t works on growth, expansion without tax, debt increases: Abad

AGAYAN de Oro City – The Department of Budget Management (DBM) in partnership with the Union of Local Authorities in the Philippines (ULAP) held the Good Governance Dialogues: A Reform on Open Government and the National Budget on October 23, here, to intensify the government’s campaign for improved governance and deeper citizen engagement. In his speech, DBM Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad said that pushing for the good governance

platform has helped in the pursuance of very difficult reform measures such as sin tax reform, growth of government revenue stressing the 20 percent increase of Customs collection and making of unprecedented investments in certain areas. Good Governance has also improved transparency within the government as all the 22 line departments have complied with the mandate of posting a Transparency Seal in their websites where major information on plans and budget are posted.

Abad also cited the initiatives of some government agencies in implementing the platform such as the Department of Interior and Local Government’s (DILG) commitment to rehabilitate and construct national bridges and roads and the Department of Foreign Affairs’ (DFA) assurance to process passports within 45 minutes by 2015. The Secretary also added that through good governance, all agencies will be held accountable for all their outputs and outcomes.

It was also cited that as a result of the said platform, the government has paid unprecedented investments in social and economic services without having to increase debts and taxes except for the sin tax reform. In addition, the poverty incidence in the country went down from 28.4% in 2013 to 24.9% in 2014, where the three percent difference represents over 2.5 million people who are now out of poverty. Abad also emphasized that this was made possible through the very

aggressive social protection and services program of the government. To prove that the platform works well for the country, the Secretary said that the Philippines is now named as the fastest growing economy in Southeast Asia and the most improved country in terms of global competitiveness. The Open Government Partnership is a multilateral initiative that aims to empower citizens, secure concrete commitments from governments to promote

transparency and harness new technologies to strengthen governance. Moreover, the dialogues are held in various areas in the country to improve efficiency in public spending, deepen citizen engagement in the budget process and increase budget openness. Among the attendees of the said event in Cagayan de Oro included national and local government, civil society, academe, business, people’s groups, development and aid organizations and the media.(RTP/PIA10)

Manresa hosts corn DSWD strengthens ties to various sectors, plant technology demo fosters social protection programs By Jorie C. Valcorza

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY- To showcase the best corn farming practices of various seed companies, government research stations, modern farm equipment, machineries and technologies, a week-long “Corn Technology Demonstration Field Tour and Farmer’s Field Days” opened on October 20 at the Xavier University Manresa Farm. The event is a prelude to the 10th Philippine National Corn Congress set on November 17-21, 2014, with the theme “Corn Farming in the ASEAN Integration: Maximizing Opportunities.” The field demonstration was organized by the DA and Philippine Maize Federation (PhilMaize). Department of Agriculture (DA) Assistant Secretary for Operations and National Corn Program Coordinator Edil-

berto M. De Luna graced the ceremonial opening and underscored the event’s significance to the corn growers as well as to the students. He said the national corn congress which will also be held in Cagayan de Oro City is hoped to gather significant policy recommendations that may strengthen or push further the development of the industry in the Philippines amidst ASEAN integration. DA-10 regional executive director Lealyn A. Ramos meanwhile bared that about 180,000 hectares of land here in the region is used for growing corn with an average production of 4.6 metric tons per hectare for the yellow corn and 3.2 metric tons for white corn. This means Northern Mindanao is contributing about 20 percent of the total corn production in the country, or the second biggest after region 2. (JCV/PIA)

Gil Macaibay’s Pink Campaign – fashion show for breast cancer awareness Story and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO Assistant Lifestyle Editor

OCTOBER as Breast Cancer Awareness Month continues to be observed with the successful holding last Saturday of Gil Macaibay III’s Pink Campaign at Limketkai Rotunda. Glitterati and GilEx female and male models paraded the ramp in not just pink but all other colors but they all have one intention in mind – to make the women in Cagayan de Oro aware that they should selfcheck their breasts for cancer-

ous symptoms or if not, go to the clinic for a more thorough exam. The Glitterati models were joined onstage with their counterparts from the Cagayan de Oro Talent Center. Earlier, prince of haute couture Gil Macaibay III was impressed with how adept in modeling the young lasses from CDOTC already are, under the tutelage of the indefatigable Daddy Gabby Bacarro, who has since

expanded his group to conquer other cities in the island under the aptly-named Mindanao Talent Center. Also on hand wearing pink (which also happens to be their traditional color) were models from Sophie Paris – Jam Bantigue, Karla Estorba, Jane Maceda, Mary Joy Obsioma and Angel Gallardo who had dual roles as both a Glitterati and Sophie model.
