“I DO, I DO!” NG PAG-IBIG FUND IDINAOS
S
A ikawalong taon ay muling idinaos ang “I Do, I Do! Araw ng Pag-IBIG” ng Pag-IBIG Fund nito lamang Huwebes, Pebrero 14 sa may mahigit 1,500 couples.
Isa itong mass wedding para sa lahat ng Pag-IBIG member-couples na nais magpakasal ngunit walang sapat na budget higit lalo sa mga matagal nang nagsasama na wala pang basbas ng huwes o ng simbahan. Ayon kay Secretary Eduardo D. del Rosario, ito aniya ang kanilang paraan ng pagdiriwang ng Araw ng mga Puso o Valentines Day. “This is how we celebrate Araw ng Pag-IBIG on Valentine’s Day. The mass wedding is our way of helping couples formalize their union and reminding them that Pag-IBIG Fund membership comes with benefits that can help in their lives. We are one with President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s directive of helping Filipino families make the most of social benefits provided by government institutions like Pag-IBIG Fund,” ani Sec. Eduardo D. del Rosario, Chairperson ng Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) at Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees. Ngayong taon ay sabay-sabay na isinagawa ang “I Do. I Do! Araw ng PagIBIG” sa may 13 lugar sa buong bansa kabilang ang Pasay City, Mandaue City, Davao City, Ilocos Sur, Cagayan
Valley, Tarlac, Bulacan, Palawan, Bicol, Antique, Iligan City, General Santos City at Zamboanga City. Para naman kay Pag-IBIG Fund CEO Acmad Rizaldy P. Moti, layon ng proyektong ito na hikayatin ang mas marami pang Pilipino na i-enjoy ang mga benepisyo ng pagiging Pag-IBIG Fund member. “Since 2012, Pag-IBIG Fund has assisted 20,297 Filipino couples through this activity. The ‘Araw ng PagIBIG’ is a lighthearted way to capitalize on our name but there is the serious objective of encouraging more Filipinos to enjoy the benefits of being a PagIBIG Fund member. It is our vision for every Filipino worker to save with PagIBIG Fund, so they can have access to high-yield savings and affordable home loans,” paliwanag ni Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Acmad Rizaldy P. Moti. Tulad ng mga nagdaang “I DO, I DO,” si Court of Appeals Associate Justice Remedios Salazar Fernando muli ang Officiating Judge ng lahat na mga kinasal sa PICC. Ngunit hindi nagtapos dito ang kanyang naging role dahil masaya siyang nagbigay payo sa mga bagong
kasal. Aniya, “marriage is a lifetime commitment.” “Ibig sabihin pang habangbuhay. Hindi lamang natin sini-celebrate and weeksary, monthsary.. Ito po ay anniversary or lifetimesary. Sa batas po reclusion perpetua.” Napakaimportante din aniya ang marriage kaya dapat na pangalagaan para tumagal ang samahan. Para naman kay former SAP Bong Go, guest speaker ng okasyon, hiling at dasal aniya na mapanindigan ang pangako sa isa’t isa ng lahat ng ikinasal na magsasama sa hirap at ginhawa at hindi bibitaw hanggang dulo. Pinuri din niya ang pagsisikap ng lahat ng nasa likod ng Pag-IBIG Fund sa pamamagitan ng kanilang inisyatibo dahil sa may 1,500 miyembro sa buong bansa ang naging pormal at legal na ang pagsasama na walang gastos. Pinarangalan ang “I Do. I Do! Araw ng Pag-IBIG,” ng 1st Philippine Quill for a Government Communication Program mula sa International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines noong 2013 gayundin ang Bronze Award for Advocacy Communications sa ilalim ng kategoryang Responsible Parenthood sa Araw Values Award at kinilala sa isang TV show, ang Philippine Book of Records, dahil sa “most number of couples in a nationwide mass wedding,” noong 2014.

New job openings in Eastern Europe bared by recruitment association THERE are thousands of new job openings now for Filipino workers in Eastern Europe according to one of the largest recruitment associations in the country the Philippine Association of Service Exporters Inc. (PASEI). PASEI conducted a marketing mission in Eastern Europe recently with the aim to look for new job openings for our skilled and unskilled Filipino workers amidst the growing dissatisfaction on the Middle East market where economic growth has been dictated by the rise and fall of crude oil prices. \Ms. Elsa Villa, president of PASEI announced that thousands of job opportunities
in Poland have opened up to Filipinos willing to work in manufacturing, fish and meat processing, information technology, and heavy-duty truck driving. There are thousands of jobs for skilled and unskilled workers especially in the manufacturing side and experience is not necessary in many of the jobs. Workers who have worked straight five years with one employer will be entitled to apply for residency and they can also bring in their families as long as their salaries can afford the standard of living. Salaries of skilled workers may reach two thousand euros or 124,000 pesos while unskilled workers range from
1,000-1,2,00 euros of over 6264,000 pesos each month. Villa also said that other countries in Central Europe, such as Croatia and the Czech Republic, as well as Eastern Europe, are “opening their doors for skilled and unskilled people. Recruitment consultant and migration expert warned Filipinos to deal only with licensed recruitment agencies and check if these agencies have accredited job orders for the countries in Eastern Europe who are now welcoming new migrant workers with their current workforce unable to keep up with their growing economies due to old age and low population growth.
Firearms, bullets seized at DHL
THE bureau of customs at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport seized firearms and live ammunition concealed inside “solar panel” and tool cart bound for Taiwan amounting to P500,000. Customs NAIA has intercepted a total of 8 pistol firearms (Glock 19-9MM; Heckler & Koch P2000 V3 Pistol), 20 ammunition magazines and 266 live ammunition’s in a warehouse in Pasay City from 2 outbound packages for Taiwan yesterday declared as solar panel. Firearms and ammunitions were discovered thru the profiling skills of BOC NAIA and subsequent X-ray examination of the shipments declared as “Solar Panel” and “Tool Cart”. Customs NAIA district collector Mimel Talusan said examiners and operatives are continuously trained on profiling illegal goods both inbound and outbound shipments. Exportation of firearms and ammunition thru fraudulent misdeclaration and without necessary permits constitute violation of Section 119A, 1400, 1113 of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA) and Republic Act 10591 or Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act. Bureau of Customs will continue to protect the country against entry and exit of contrabands and remain vigilant to protect all inbound and outbound packages. JSY

The illegal drugs, NAIA Collector Mimel Manahan disclosed, were being concealed inside an air parcel shipment (with a declared value of US$500) consisting of 26 packages said to contain automobile mufflers and assorted spare parts. The packages, weighing around 13.1 kilos, were undergoing release procedures at the DHL warehouse at the NAIA when ordered impounded by BoC-NAIA officials. Per a statement from the Public Information & Assistance Division (PIAD), the drug shipment was flown in earlier from West Covina, California, USA. The shabu was discovered after the 26 packages were subjected to profiling and 100% physical examination by Customs examiners in coordination with representatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA). The corresponding criminal charges will be filed against the still-unidentified consignee and other accomplices by the PDEA. This shabu bust represents another feather in the cap for the men and women of the BoC-NAIA. In the 2018 annual report submitted to the Office of the Commissioner, Collector Manahan said the NAIA Customshouse was responsible for the seizure of some P300 million in smuggled shabu, cocaine, marijuana and Mogadon and Ecstasy pills. *******
There are persistent rumors that until now the position of Chief, Customs PIAD remains vacant. Totoo ba ito, KARREN NORONIO? This is because the person appointed to LOUIE LOGARTA assume the post simply refuses to report for work due to many, many reasons. Totoo ba ito, CONNIE FERNANDEZ ILAGAN? In the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the term for this is: Insubordination.

DANIEL, DI SINIPOT SI KATHRYN SA AMBASSADORS’ NIGHT NG FDCP
I
PINANGALANDAKAN noon pa ng Film Development Council of the Philippines o FDCP na dadalo ang KathNiel, ang tambalan nina Kathryn Bernardo at Daniel Padilla, sa natatanging Ambassadors Night nito sa gaganapin sa Samsung Hall ng SM Aura sa Taguig City.
Kahit ang kontrobersyal na Fil-Briton filmmaker na si Jowee Morel (“Moma,” “Ec2luv,” “Mga Paru-Parong Rosas,” “Mona, Singapore Escort,” “When a Gay Man Loves,” “Latak,” “History,” “Strictly Confidential,” “Leona Calderon” at “The History of Quezon City”) ay saksi sa pagbabalita ng FDCP na darating sina Kathryn at Daniel sa okasyon. Ito ay dahil pinadalhan ng FDCP ng imbitasyon at press release si Jowee na ilalagay sa www.filcaspro.com, ang multimedia platform ng direktor. Kaya ipinarating ni Morel sa amin na sisipot nga sa recognition night ang sikat na tambalan. Naghanda rin si Jowee na ikober ang okasyon bagamat nang dahil sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari ay hindi siya nakarating. Ang Ambassadors’ Night ay ang pagkilala sa mga tagapaglikha ng pelikula sa Pilipinas na binibigyan o binigyan ng pagkilala at mga parangal sa ibang bansa. At sina Bernardo at Padilla ay kasama sa pelikulang “The Hows of Us” ng Star Cinema na nagkamit ng pinakamaraming kita sa buong mundo. Ito ang itinuturing na Best Selling Film of All Time. *** Kaya lang, sa oras mismo ng pagtanggap sa mga bisita ng Ambassadors’ Night sa Samsung Hall ay nagbigay na ng press statement ang FDCP sa mga miyembro ng peryodismo na darating ang box-office queen na si Kathryn. Binasa naming mabuti ang opisyal na pahayag at wala roon ang pangalan ni Daniel. Ayon sa nakasulat na pahayag na parang natapos na ang okasyon: “Ibinigay ng FDCP Chairperson and CEO Mary Liza Diño ang trophies sa recipients ng Camera Obscura Artistic Excellence award, ang pinakamataas na karangalang iginagawad ng FDCP sa mga katangitanging miyembro ng local film industry. Personal na tinanggap ng National Artist na si Kidlat Tahimik, award-winning film producer na si Bianca Balbuena, box-office queen Kathryn Bernardo, ‘The Hows of Us’ producer Olivia Lamasan, director Cathy Garcia-Molina, at screenwriter
Carmi Raymundo ang kanilang award.” *** Sa mismong programa ng Ambassadors’ Night, marami ang nagtaka kung bakit wala noong gabing ‘yon si Padilla samantalang may pauna nang balita ng kanyang pagdating. Ng mga sandali ring ‘yon ay lumabas sa social media ang balitang nagtatanong kung totoo nga bang in-unfollow na ni Daniel sa Instagram si Kathryn. May LQ nga ba ang magsing-irog? O Lovers’ Quarrel baga. Ano ang tunay na dahilan ng pagkawala ng batang aktor sa okasyong mahalaga sa kanilang love team ng batang aktres? *** Ang masigasig namang peryodistang pampelikulang si Jerry Olea ay nagsabi na nagtaka rin siya kung bakit wala si Daniel sa awards night samantalang naka-press release pa ito. Kaya sinunggaban agad niya si Kathryn at tinanong kung bakit wala sa kanyang tabi ni Daniel. Ayon kay Bernardo, nasa outof-town si Padilla dahil sa opisyal na trabaho at hindi na puwedeng makasunod pa sa oras sa SM Aura
para sabay nilang tanggapin ang tropeyo ng karangalan. *** Samantala, maraming bituin ang nagpaningning ng okasyon ng FDCP kabilang ang aktres na si Teresa Loyzaga na sikat na sikat sa teleserye ng GMA Network na “My Special Tatay” na pinangungunahan ni Ken Chan. Tunay na regal ang persona ni Teresa ng gabing ‘yon at ipinagmamalaki niya ang kanyang mga trabaho. Kaya wala siyang panahon sa intriga. “Let’s forget the intrigues. Diego, my son is doing well. Huwag na muna ang mga intriga,” pahayag ni Teresa kaugnay kay Diego, ang Diego Loyzaga sa telebisyon at pelikula at anak ni Cesar Montano kay Teresa. *** Nandoon din si Ricky Davao na nagpapahayag na ng kanyang muling partisipasyon sa dulang “Baka Naman Hindi” sa Cultural Center of the Philippines o CCP na una nilang pinagtanghalan ni Rina Reyes.
Gayunman, nasabi namin kay Ricky na baka hindi na magampanan ni Rina ang papel na katambal niya sa stage play dahil napakaabala ng aktres sa maraming bagay. “Pero hindi pa confirmed ‘yon,” pasubali namin kay Davao. “Sana, matuloy ulit siya. Sayang. Sana, si Rina ulit,” panalangin ni Ricky. *** Hindi talaga tumatanda si Rina
kahit na ilang taon na siyang inilunsad bilang pangunahing aktres sa pelikula, telebisyon at tanghalan sa bansa. Maraming negosyo ang bituin at
kulang nga ang isang araw sa kanyang pag-aasikaso sa kanyang propesyunal na buhay. May mga anak pa siyang inaaruga na tunay na magaganda rin at matatalino, halimbawa’y si Sophie Reyes na nag-aartista na rin at alaga ng Star Magic ng ABS-CBN. Kaya naman nakataas ang noo ni Baby O’Brien, ang ina ni Rina at siyempre’y lola ni Sophie. Hindi pa rin nagbabago ang glamorosang katangian ni Baby na nakilala sa mga TV show na “DanceO-Rama,” “The Baby O’Brien Show” at marami pang iba. Naging undersecretary rin si O’Brien ng opisina ng ugnayang pambansa sa komunikasyon sa panahon ng administrasyon ni Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Masaya ang pamilya nina Baby, Rina at Sophie, ang tatlong henerasyon ng mga bituin na sinimulan ng ninuno nilang magandang aktres na si Paraluman. *** Marami nga pala kaming nakadaupang-palad sa Ambassadors Night ng FDCP tulad nina Jek Jumawan, Maricel Balderama, Zig Dulay, Joselito Altarejos, Baron Geisler, Chuck Gutierrez, Babyruth Villarama, Dexter Macaraeg, Dani Ugali, Jun Lana, Perci Intalan, Kidlat Tahimik, Joel Lamangan, RS Francisco, Nick Tiongson, Bien Lumbera, Roland Tolentino, Tito Valiente, Dennis Evangelista, Mike Rapatan, Butch Franciso, Leon Miguel at marami pang iba. Karamihan sa kanila ay mga honoree ng pagtitipon. Mabuhay kayong lahat!

Tips to survive the Flu Season:
Prevention is always better than cure
INFLUENZA or flu is a seasonal virus that commonly occurs in tropical countries such as the Philippines. Influenza cases rise during the wet season but also thrived during the dry season when humidity and temperature are unusually high. In the Philippines, flu is felt all year round by Filipinos regardless of gender or age. People frequenting public areas such as transportation hubs, markets, entertainment centers, and amusement parks to include schools and offices are at risk of acquiring the virus. The virus is transmitted or spread in several ways such as; direct contact with infected individuals and direct contact with contaminated objects. Flu can also be transmitted when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, spewing nasal and throat secretions into the air. The WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) recently warned the general public with the possibility of another “influenza pandemic” in the country. WHO studies reveal the shortages of influenza vaccines which may post serious concerns both to the Philippine government and to the public. Health experts therefore reiterated the need to broaden the information campaign on the importance of prevention of the spread of this virus, citing further that everyone is at risk of acquiring the virus anytime and
anywhere. People with low immune system ran more risks in acquiring the virus. Low immune system is associated with lack of vitamins, which is further aggravated by stress brought about by someone’s work environment as well as the tropical weather. Hence, taking the following tips will immensely reduce the risk of acquiring the influenza virus: 1. Avoid crowds during flu season 2. Disinfect contaminated surfaces 3. Wash hands with soap and water regularly 4. Exercise 5. Eat healthy and avoid intake of junk foods 6. Taking Flu shots 7. Intake vitamin and mineral supplements In summary, it is important for you to have a strong immune system in order for you to combat the virus. Along with following the tips as mentioned above, an immune system boosted by intake of Vitamin C can reduce your risk from acquiring the flu. BEWELL-C Sodium Ascorbate can provide the necessary vitamins and minerals to protect you from Influenza. BEWELL-C Sodium Ascorbate is non-acidic and safe to ingest in large quantities without upsetting your stomach. It is available in all Mercury Drug nationwide.

A TRIP TO THE UPPER HOUSE I WOULD like to share one of my PLM public administration students’ experience when I required them to come to the Philippine Senate and watch the senators at work.

BILLBOARD
NURSES PINAG-IINGAT SA ILLEGAL RECRUITMENT SA GERMANY
Pag-IBIG Fund grants 21,000 socialized housing loans to low-wage earners in 2018 Pag-IBIG Fund released P8.36 billion for socialized housing in 2018, benefiting 21,389 borrowers who are minimumwage and low-income earners. “Pag-IBIG Fund released an all-time high of P 75.31 billion in home loans in 2018. P8.36 billion of this amount was for socialized housing. In terms of units, 24% of the 90,375 homes financed by Pag-IBIG Fund in 2018 were for low-income borrowers. Pag-IBIG Fund continues to heed the call of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to provide social benefits to more Filipinos and strengthened its position as a key mover in the BALAI (Building Adequate, Livable, Affordable and Inclusive) Filipino Communities Program of the government’s housing sector,” said Sec. Eduardo D. del Rosario, Chairperson of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) and Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees. Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Acmad Rizaldy P. Moti explained that Pag-IBIG’s tax-exempt status enables the agency to subsidize the low rates for socialized housing loans and improve its programs to cater to the needs of the underserved sector. In 2017, Pag-IBIG Fund reduced the interest rate for socialized housing from 4.5% per annum to only 3% per annum for socialized housing units worth up to P450,000, which is the best rate in the socialized housing market. And while the price of socialized housing ceiling was raised by the HUDCC to P580,000 for horizontal housing projects in 2018 to improve the quality of affordable homes, officials of Pag-IBIG Fund decided to keep the rate low. Under its Affordable Housing Program which is exclusively for minimum-wage and low-income earners, Pag-IBIG still offers 3% per annum for loans up to P580,000. This means that qualified borrowers of the Affordable Housing Program will only have to pay P2,445.30 a month for the first five years of a P580,000 loan with a term of 30 years. “Pag-IBIG Fund takes care of the housing needs of the underserved sector who are usually shunned by banks. While the low rates might be unbelievable to some, our tax-exempt status and better than expected performance in 2018, allows Pag-IBIG Fund to give subsidized low rates to our members who earn minimum-wage. As long as we keep our taxexemption, our members, especially those who are minimum wage earners, can own a home at lower costs. While others are hiking their rates, we have reduced our rates six times in recent years. This is what Lingkod Pag-IBIG is all about – tapat na serbisyo, mula sa puso,” CEO Moti said.

Honda PH, inilunsad ang environmental sustainability project sa Romblon
Kasado na ang paglulunsad ng isang makabagong scooter mula sa Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) na naglalayong itaguyod ang paggamit ng renewable energy sa bansa. Nakatakdang ilunsad ngayong taon ang PCX ELECTRIC, isang electric motorized scooter sa probinsya ng Romblon. Dito isinagawa ng Honda ang isang demonstration testing katuwang ang Komaihaltec noong 2017. Sa nasabing proyekto, ipinakita ng Honda, katuwang ang Komaihaltec, ang isang wind power generator na naglilikha ng clean energy. Ang enerhiyang ito ay iniimbak sa Mobile Power Packs para sa mas mahusay na paggamit nito. Layon rin ng proyektong mabawasan ang CO2 emissions sa probinsya. Sa pamamagitan ng dalawang Mobile Power Packs o mga portable at swappable batteries, kaya ng PCX ELECTRIC na maglakbay nang hanggang 41km (60km/h steady state test) sa isang charge lamang. Napananatili rin nito ang easy-to-handle size at komportableng riding position na meron ang PCX series. Maliban sa paggamit ng renewable energy, mayroon ding advanced features ang PCX ELECTRIC tulad ng All-Led lights at Honda Smart Key System na maaring mag-unlock ng motor sa pamamagitan nang paglapit lamang dito.
Pinaalalahanan ng Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) ang mga Filipino nurse na naghahanap ng trabaho laban sa illegal recruitment sa Germany sa ilalim ng Triple Win Project. Nakarating sa POEA ang ulat tungkol sa isang website na ginagamit ng mga illegal recruiters na nangangako ng trabaho para sa mga nurse sa nasabing bansa. Pinaalalahanan ni POEA Administrator Bernard P. Olalia ang mga naghahanap ng trabaho na huwag i-sumite online ang kanilang aplikasyon, gayundin ang kanilang personal na impormasyon, at sa halip isumite ang kanilang dokumento sa Manpower Registry Division ng POEA. “Ang Triple Win Project ay magkasamang inisyatibo sa pagitan ng Pilipinas at Germany upang tulungan ang mga kwalipikadong nurse sa bansa na magtrabaho sa Germany. Ang buong proseso ng pagre-recruit at pagde-deploy dito sa Pilipinas ay pinangangasiwaan lamang ng POEA at walang ibang taga-labas na ahensiya ang awtorisadong gumawa nito para sa amin,” ani Administrator Olalia. Hinihikayat ng POEA ang lahat ng aplikante na maging mapagbantay laban sa mga illegal recruiter at itawag ang anumang kahina-hinalang gawain ng mga illegal recruiter sa POEA Anti-Illegal Recruitment Branch sa 722-11-92 o sa POEA Hotline numbers 722-1144 o 722-11-55.

NAIA TERMINAL 2... nasabing opisina dahil ang ACO rito ay ‘untouchable’ at ‘pinsan’ ng isa sa tatlong sangkot sa nasibak na billion-peso SWP syndicate?! Ewan lang natin kung alam ito ng ating ‘katoto’ sa media?! Pero in-case na may magtanong kung sino siya, willing naman tayong sumagot! Hehehe! *****
BI PINURI NI UNCLE SAM
PINAPURIHAN ng United States government ang Bureau of Immigration matapos magtala ng 200 kaso ng pagpigil na makapasok sa ating bansa ang mga Amerikanong sex offenders. Sa pahayag ni BI Commissioner Jaime Morente, sinabi niyang nabigyan ng parangal ng US Embassy sa Maynila ang ahensiya nang gawaran ng Certificate of Commendation pagkatapos pumangalawa sa buong mundo sa bilang ng mga Amerikanong sex offenders na-intercept at na-exclude sa airport. Una sa listahan ang bansang Mexico sa nagtala ng may pinakamataas na record ng interceptions pagdating sa Registered Sex Offenders (RSO). “I commend our officers deployed at our ports of entry for a job well done. Because of your vigilance and alertness, you were able to turn away these sex offenders to protect fellow Filipinos from possible exploitation,” pahayag ni Commissioner Morente. Espesyal na nabanggit sa nasabing citation ang Ports Operations Division (POD) pati na ang Airport Operations
Section (SOS), Travel Control and Enforcement Unit (TCEU) at pati na ang Border Control and Intelligence Unit (BCIU) na pawang nasa pamamahala ng POD. Sila ay pinarangalan dahil na rin sa “Angel Watch” program na ipinatupad sa lahat ng ports sa buong bansa! Ang Angel Watch program ay global initiative ng Department of Homeland Security na ang misyon ay magbantay laban sa mga registered sex offenders na sangkot sa child sex tourism. *****
MGA PASAWAY NA BAGONG IOs
TILA nahaharap sa matinding problema ang huling batch ng graduates na Immigration Officers matapos mabisto na pineke umano nang hindi pa malamang personalidad ang lagda ni Ports Operations Division Chief Grifton Medina. OMG! Nakatanggap ng ilang notice to explain (NTE) ang ilang IOs sa kanilang batch dahil nalaman ng Admin Office na pineke ang signature ni POD Chief Medina sa isinumiteng kopya ng kanilang daily time record (DTR)? Susmaryosep! Aga namang natuto ng kalokohan ang mga batang ‘yan?! Ayon sa kwento ng mga nabigyan ng NTEs, blanko raw nang i-submit nila sa kanilang kabatch na si IO Parucha ang kanilang DTRs pero laking gulat nila nang sila ay hingan ng explanation ng Admin?! Swak kang bata ka! Si IO Parucha raw ang tumatayong “point person” ng kanilang
batch at matapos nilang ibigay ang kanilang dokumento rito ay hindi na raw nila alam kung anong ‘magic’ ang ginawa ni IO Parusa ‘este Parucha?! Juice colored! Parusa talaga! For sure malaking problema ang kakaharapin ng naturang batch ng mga IO hangga’t hindi napapatunayan kung sino ang dapat managot. Buti na lang at nawala na riyan ang dating “chairman” ng Board of Discipline na si madame ‘este Sir RPL dahil for sure mapapadali ang sentensiya ng mga kawawang IOs. Hindi lang suspension or baka termination ang aabutin ng mga may pakana sa naturang kaso. Baka mayroon pa kayong ‘kurot sa singit?!’ Charot! *****
GIVE BI ASSCOMM ALEGRE A BETTER AND CONDUCIVE OFFICE
MAY natanggap pala tayong mga text messages na nagtatanong tungkol sa opisina ni AssComm. Aldwin Alegre. Mukhang hindi raw appropriate ang opisinang ‘yun para sa kanya. Medyo maliit at wala pang bintana ang kanyang cubicle office. Talo pa nga raw siya ng opisina ni Atty. Balina na hindi hamak na mas malaki at maayos ang working place. Bakit hindi na lang kaya mag-give way si Atty. Balina at magpalit na lang sila ng opisina ng hepe niya? Mas cash ‘este less function naman ang opisina ni Atty. Balina ‘di ho ba?

AGAMAN hindi maituturing na tahasang katiwalian ang nangyari, hindi pa rin dapat ipagwalang-bahala ang naging pagkakamali ng Cotabato City Comelec ukol sa Certificate of Canvass (COC) para sa plebisito ng Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) na ginanap nitong Enero 26. Layon ng plebisito na alamin ang sentimiyento ng mga mamamayan sa mga lugar na sakop nito, kaugnay ng pagtatatag ng Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. “Yes” or “No” lang ang isasagot ng mga botante. Nakakuha ng 36,682 boto ang “Yes” dahilan para ito ang ideklarang panalo kumpara sa 24,994 boto ng “No.” Ang kaso, sumablay ang addition ng tatlong tauhan ng Cotabato City Comelec, dahil sa halip na 61,676 kabuuang boto ng “Yes” at “No” ,39,027 votes lang ang isinulat nila sa COC. Simpleng addition lang naman ang hinihingi sa COC pero kulang ng 22,649 boto ang lumitaw sa total votes dahilan upang ituring na may malinaw na kapa-

bayaan at kawalang-ingat ang sanhi ng nakakahiyang pagkakamali nila. Bukod dito, hindi rin umano nailagay sa COC ang 131,751 na total number of registered voters sa siyudad na nagresulta sa incomplete at paltos na mga datos. Clerical error ang naging depensa dito ni Comelec Spokesman James Jimenez na dahilan ng embarrassing foul-up na ito. Manual process o sulat-kamay daw kasi ang paraang ginamit sa paggawa ng COC. Pero ang totoo, human error o man-made bungling ang mas angkop at mas tumpak na salitang dapat gamitin na sanhi nito. Ngunit tila nais lang ni Jimenez na huwag lumaki at huwag maging lubusang kontrobersyal ang nangyari.
Baka nga naman magdulot ng pagdududa sa madla ang accuracy ng COC at iba pang mga dokumento tungkol sa resulta ng halalan na ginamitan ng manual process, kahit sa botohan, bilangan at recording lang. Mabuti na lang at ang maling math ay naispatan at agad naiwasto ng National Plebiscite Board of Canvassers na binubuo nina Comelec Chairman Sheriff Abbas at Commissioners Luie Guia at Rowena Guanzon. Ang tanong ngayon, kung nagkaroon ng human error sa Cotabato City na may mahigit na 131,000 botante lang, hindi kaya mangyari rin ang ganito sa national elections na kasasangkutan ng tinatayang 60 milyon o mahigit pang mga botante? Kaugnay pa rin ng isyung ito, ano naman kaya ang reaksiyon ng mga taong nagtutulak ng manual o kaya ay hybrid election system? Hindi kaya dapat lang talaga na muli nating gamitin ang automated election system ngayong Mayo?

Diyaryo NAIA TERMINAL 2 Pinoy RENOVATION PARA SA LAHAT
BIYERNES-LUNES • PEBRERO 15-18, 2019

TOTOO BANG MAY P64-B BUDGET?
NO ba itong nababalitaan natin na ang budget umano sa renovation ng Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2 ay aabot sa P64 bilyones?! Mukhang napakalaking renovation ang gagawin kaya’t napakalaking halaga rin ang inilaan. Ayon sa ating impormante, ii-extend umano ang Customs area sa terminal 2 para lumaki ito. Sa kasalukuyan kasi ay napakaliit ng Customs area sa NAIA Terminal 2. Gayonman marami ang napapa-OMG dahil sa laki ng budget. Sa totoo lang, ito ang usap-usapan ngayon ng mga urot sa Airport. Bakit napakalaki ng budget for renovation? Ganyanba raw kalaki ang budget dahil papalitan rin ang mga air-conditioning system dahil parang ‘heater’ na sa init ang lugar?! Pero kahit na siguro palitan pa ang air-conditioning system mukhang masyadong malaki ‘yang P64 bilyones na ‘yan. Sana naman ay nagkamali lang ang tip sa atin ng impormante. Baka naman P64-milyon lang ‘yan o kaya P64o milyon. Pero kung P64 bilyones e baka isipin pa nating galing ‘yan sa P75 bilyong insertions sa national budget na hanggang gayon ay hindi pa napipirmahan ni Pangulong Digong. Arayku! Pakiklaro na nga po DOTr Secretary Art Tugade kung magkano talaga ang budget sa renovation ng NAIA Terminal 2? ‘Yun lang po. *****
CHINESE LADY NA NAMBASTOS NG PULIS IKINULONG NA SA BI
TRENDING sa social media ang ginawang pambabastos ng isang babaeng Chinese national na nagsaboy ng taho (soya pudding) ang isang pulis na naka-duty sa MRT Mandaluyong station. Kinilala ang Chinese na si Jiale Zhang, 23 anyos, isang fashion design student at tubong mainland China. Dakong 8:30 am, habang
papasakay ng MRT sa Boni station nang sitahin siya ng on-duty security guard matapos makita ang isang baso ng taho na kanyang dala-dala. Since mahigpit na ipinagbabawal ang pagdadala ng anumang likido maging ng inumin o pagkain sa pagsakay ng tren, minabuti ng sekyu na ipaiwan ang nasabing taho. Dito na nag-alboruto ang GI (genuine intsik) at tumanggi na iwan ang kanyang inumin. Agad tinawag ng security guard ang noon ay naka-detail sa naturang estasyon na si PO1 William Cristobal upang ipagbigay-alam ang sitwasyon. Sa hindi inaasahang aksiyon, ibinato bigla ng tsekwa ang hawak niyang baso na may lamang taho kay PO1 Cristobal na tumapon sa dibdib ng naka-unipormeng pulis. Dahil dito, inaresto si Zhang at agad dinala sa Mandaluyong Police Station. Sandamakmak na kaso ang isinampa sa Chinese lady, kabilang na rito ang unjust vexation, direct assault at disobedience to an agent or person in authority. Agad sinawsawan ‘este ipinag-utos ng ilang mambabatas na ikonsidera ang tsekwa bilang “undesirable alien” at hiniling sa Bureau of Immigration (BI) ang agarang deportasyon! Para sa ilang opisyal ng pamahalaan, ang ganitong ugali o kilos ng isang banyaga sa mga Filipino ay pagpapakita ng kawalan ng respeto sa ating mga kababayan. Sa kasalakuyan ay naka-detain sa Bureau of Immigration detention cell si Zhang. Akala niya ay lusot na siya matapos payagan ng piskalya na makapagpiyansa pero sa batas ng immigration ay hindi siya makalulusot. At tiyak magtatagal siyang
nakapiit diyan hanggang hindi natatapos ang kinahaharap niyang kasong kriminal bago siya i-deport. E kung sa ibang bansa niya ginawa ‘yan pambabastos sa isang awtoridad baka mas masahol pa riyan ang abutin niya!
ang mga hinuli ay pawang walang proper visa at working permits. Malinaw dito ang kanilang paglabag sa Phlippine Immigration law. Ilan sa kanila ay hinuli sa Solemare Parksuites at Aseana Power Station na matatagpuan sa Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard. Sinasabing nakatanggap ng impormasyon ang BI Intelligence Division tungkol sa hindi mabilang na Chines nationals diyan sa Macapagal Blvd. Matapos mag-conduct ng kanilang surveillance at case buildup, agad nag-issue si Commissioner Morente ng isang mission order para imbitahan lahat ang mga tsekwa na walang maipakitang maayos na dokumento! Tama ba madame Leah? Marami sa kanila ay may tangan na tourist visa at ang ilan sa kanila ay overstaying na at nagtatrabaho sa nasabing lugar. Samantala, 17 sa Chinese nationals kabilang ang isang Taiwanese national ay agad pinawalan matapos maghatag ‘este magpakita ng kanilang legal na dokumento! Ang mga hinuling foreigners ay pansamantalang nakalagak sa Warden’s Facility Detention sa Bicutan habang inaayos ang kanilang deportasyon!

Hindi lang naman sa MRT o sa publiko madalas kakitaan ng ganitong mga ugali ang mga turistang Tsekwa. Maging sa mga airports, bago pa man sila i-clear sa immigration ay marami na rin sa kanila ang nagpamalas ng kagaspangan at kabastusan. Nariyan na ibato sa immigration officers ang kanilang travel documents kapag sila ay napikon sa mga pag-i-interview sa kanila. Mayroon din naninigaw o ‘di kaya ay nagdi-dirty finger o ‘di kaya ay nagmumura gamit ang sarili nilang wika. Sa ganitong bagay ay dapat agad silang i-exclude palabas ng bansa at huwag hayaan makapasok! Tayo mang mga Pinoy ay makailang-ulit na rin dumaan sa kanilang sariling immigration at kapag tayo ang nasa harap ng mga IO ay daig pa natin ang maaamong tupa. Agree ka ba riyan Boy Pisngi?! ‘Di mo ba kliyente ang tsekwang ‘yan? *****

HANGGANG ngayon ay hindi pa rin humuhupa ang tanong sa isip ng mga kawani ng BI kung gaano katotoo ang balita tungkol sa halos P1 bilyong kinita ng tatlong sinibak na opisyal sa BI-SM Aura, BI-SM North Satellite Office at pati na ang dating Technical Assistant ni BI Commissioner Jaime Morente? By the way, hindi ba natunugan ni BI Comm. Jaime Morente ang raket nila gayong balita na riyan siya madalas nag-oopisina? Nagtatanong lang po
tayo… Balita pa nga, na ang isa sa kanila ay nagmamay-ari na raw ng apat na condo units sa Maynila habang ang isa naman ay balitang nagpapagawa na raw ng kanyang “dream house” sa Ayala Alabang? Matapos magbigay ng kanyang pahayag ang isa nating katoto sa media, nagawa niyang idetalye ang eksaktong “computation” kung paano minaniobra ng mga sangkot na opisyal ang libong transaksiyon ng Special Working Permits (SWP). Maging tayo ay namangha sa laki ng nabanggit na “figures” dahil kung tutuusin nga naman, ang halaga ng isang SWP application ay hindi pa aabot sa P10,000?! Pero kung lalagyan nga naman ng ‘lagay’ para ito ay ma-expedite kahit baluktot ang dokumento, hindi nga imposible na umabot sa daang milyon kada buwan ang magiging kolektong ‘este koleksiyon ng nasabing “working permits!” Hindi lang ‘yan! Ayon din sa nasabing ulat, ilang abogado ng ahensiya ang nagpatunay na sangkot nga ang mga naturang opisyal sa naturang ‘raket!’ Sonabagan! Maituturing na isang malaking sindikato ang nangyaring operasyon at sa ating palagay ay hindi lang ang tatlo ang maaaring sangkot dito. Maging ang mga tauhan ng nasabing tatlong ‘bugok’ ay matataguriang “accomplices” o sangkot sa nabanggit na raket. Kung magtutuloy-tuloy ang gagawing imbestigasyon ng senado o maging ng mababang kapulungan sa nasabing bigtime ‘boplaks,’ hindi malayo na ma-shoot sa kasong Plunder ang puwedeng isampa laban sa kanila?! BTW, ano itong narinig natin na hindi lang daw sa SM Aura at SM North naging talamak ang ‘tong-pats’ sa SWPs? Ganoon din daw ang isang sangay ng BI diyan sa opisina sa south ng Metro Manila ay naging talamak ang ‘tongpats’ ng SWP!? Ang siste, tila tinaguriang ‘BI-Sacred’ field office ang
