Duterte: No more military exercises next year By Jelly F. Musico

MANILA, Oct. 12 (PNA) – President Rodrigo Duterte insisted on Wednesday that there will be no more military exercises between the Philippines and the United States next year. President Duterte made this statement during the 115th Anniversary of the Philippine Coast Guard in its headquarters in Port Area in Manila. ”There will be no more exercises next year. I told Defense Secretary (Delfin) Lorenzana, do not make SOUTH CHINA SEA (Oct. 9, 2016) US Marines embark the well deck of the amphibious transport dock ship USS Green Bay (LPD 20) in combat rubber raiding craft (CRRC) during Philippine Landing Exercise 33 (PHIBLEX). PHIBLEX 33 is an annual U.S.-Philippine bilateral exercise that combines amphibious landing and live-fire training with humanitarian civic assistance efforts to strengthen interoperability and working relationships. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said this will be the last military exercises between the US and the Philippines during his term.

Sen. Lacson: PHL won’t survive without US By Azer N. Parrocha

MANILA, Oct. 11 (PNA) – Despite the assurance of the Department of National Defense (DND) that the Philippines would survive external threats without the United States, Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson on Tuesday thought otherwise. “I don’t think we will survive. That remains to be seen… We will not survive unless we will find a new ally as cooperative and as committed as the US,” Lacson told reporters in an interview. Lacson made this remark after DND Secretary Delfin Lorenzana assured that the Philippines would survive external threats during the budget hearing for the DND and its attached agencies. President Rodrigo Duterte has previously threatened to break up ties with the US and establish alliances with Russia and China. He also threatened to stop honoring the Philippine-US Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA). The EDCA is an agreement between the Philippines and the United States signed last April 28, 2014 which aims to advance the implementation of the Philippine-US Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT). Pres. Duterte’s threat to break ties with the long-time ally has emanated from the US’ criticism of the administration’s intensified anti-illegal drugs campaign and alleged extrajudicial killings.

Duterte gets 91% rating from Manila mayor for first 100 days in office By Lily O. Ramos

MANILA, Oct. 12 (PNA) – Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada on Wednesday gave President Rodrigo Duterte a very satisfactory grade of more than 91 percent for his first 100 days in office. The former president based his rating on President Duterte’s challenge to the United States government and the European Union (EU) to withdraw the foreign assistance they have been giving to the Philippines. “Not lower but higher than

91 percent,” Estrada said when asked to grade President Duterte’s 100 days of administration. “It should be even higher to encourage him to continue his fight against illegal drugs.” Estrada pointed out that the President should not be lashed at for his recent pronouncements on fears over the withdrawal of aid by the US and EU because of the issue of extrajudicial killings in the country. “We have long been inSee 91% RATING, page 8

Duterte to the corrupt: PTV-4 will be watching you

MANILA, Oct. 12 (PNA) – To those who are working in government and want only to steal taxpayers’ money, President Rodrigo Duterte has a message for you: Don’t do it. On Tuesday (Oct. 11), the President revealed a plan to use the People’s Television Network (PTV-4) as a medium for people to air complaints against erring public officers and employees in a bid to rid the government of corruption. Duterte made the statement as he led the mass oath-taking of newly appointed government officials and the members of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines in Malacañang Palace. The President urged the public to freely air their grievances against wayward public officials, noting that corruption in government regulatory agencies is still rampant. “Just text the agency and the person with whom you Sen.

President Duterte, however, clarified that the Philippines will not break its alliance with the United States. ”We need not really, you know, break or abrogate existing treaties because they say that it could provide us with the umbrella,” President Duterte said. ,”I ask you frankly, give me your answer from your rank.

DOTr rolls out new double decker P2P buses for passengers affected by ‘no window hours’ policy By Aerol B. Patena

MANILA, Oct. 12 (PNA) – The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has launched on Wednesday fourteen new double decker premium point to point (P2P) buses traversing the Trinoma-Glorietta route that will operate 24 hours from Monday to Sunday. The buses will carry passengers that will be affected by the implementation of the “no window hours” policy on private vehicles traveling along EDSA, C5, Mandaluyong, Alabang-Zapote, and Roxas Boulevard starting Oct. 17. “The P2P buses offer a convenient transportation option and designed to encourage private car owners to try public transportation,” DOTr said in a statement. Two of the buses are customized VIP units which are equipped with 52

reclining sleeper seats with monitors for latest movies, games and other entertainment apps. Its lower floor features a VIP cabin with CR, cooler, VIP sofas, conference table, and two units of 50” flatscreen TV monitors with KTV functions. The VIP double decker buses are also equipped with CCTV cameras and have passed Euro 5 emission standards. Apart from the VIP bus units, seven semi-VIP and five PWD double decker buses were also launched. The fare for the buses costs PHP55 for single journey and PHP80 for roundtrip. Operator Froehlich Tours offers a 50 percent discount (PHP25) for an unlimited ride during weekend mall hop operations. Passengers can also avail the one-month unlimited ride promo for PHP1,300.

Biliran’s organic farm draws tourists CAIBIRAN, Biliran, Oct. 12 (PNA) – Canaan Hill Farm and Honey Garden in this town has been attracting tourists since it reopened its door to visitors The farm in Uson village temporarily shut down its operation in February this year due to the effects of the extended dry season. The management re-opened the farm to the public three months ago. Since their re-opening, hundreds of tourists have explored Canaan Hills, including farmers from other provinces who wanted to learn organic farming. Canaan Hill Farm and Honey

Garden is the first organic farm in Eastern Visayas that earned accreditation from the Department of Tourism regional office under its fun tourism program. The owner derived its farm’s name from the Bible. The farm is situated in a seven hectare land owned by the Espinazo family of Caibiran town, about two hours drive from Tacloban City and 30 minutes travel from Naval town, the capital of Biliran province. The farm is personally managed by Espinazo couple and their nine children, who all left their jobs to concentrate on farming and develop their land as a tourist destination.

More transport woes tackled in 4th hearing on proposed emergency powers By Azer N. Parrocha

MANILA, Oct. 12 (PNA) – The fourth Senate hearing on the proposed emergency powers on Wednesday tackled several transport woes that were not addressed in previous hearings, including the LRT-MRT Common Station, NLEX-SLEX Connector Road and input from the Department of Public Works on Highways (DPWH) in relation to flood control. Senator Grace Poe, chair of the Senate committee on public services, acknowledged the need for the LRTMRT Common Station for the convenience of the riding public. Bayan Secretary Renato Reyes pointed out that public infrastructure should “not be held hostage by private interest”, to which senators agreed.

Department of Transportation (DOTr) Undersecretary for rail Noel Kintanar informed the Senate that the agency last month ended the impasse over the seven-year-old railway project, with the signing of an agreement setting the Common Station between SM North EDSA and Trinoma malls. A vehicular underpass designed to decongest the North Ave.-EDSA intersection will be built to seamlessly integrate with the Common Station. The Common Station project began in 2009 but has since been put on hold. The LRT Authority initially inked a deal with SMPHI to build the station near SM North EDSA. Five years later, the transportation department decided to build the station near Ayala’s Trinoma, citing “to cut costs” as its reason.

There are several issues to consider in answering this question. The most important point is the value of your car. In most cases, you can protect your car using the allowable bankruptcy code exemptions. An exemption allows you to file for bankruptcy relief and protect some of your property. The bankruptcy courts understand you need a car to get to work and to pick your kids up from school. So long as you aren’t driving an antique classic car, or an expensive sports car you will likely be able to keep your car. The next question is whether you have clear title to your car. If you have pledged your vehicle as security for a debt, or if you are financing or leasing a vehicle, you have three options for secured car loans when you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Reaffirm: A reaffirmation agreement is a contract between you and the car creditor in which you agree to pay the balance owed on your car note, despite the bankruptcy filing. You continue to make payments, and the creditor promises that, as long as payments are made, the creditor will not repossess or take back the property. Reaffirmed debts are not discharged, the debt survives the bankruptcy. If you do not make your car payments after you reaffirm the car loan the car lender can repossess the car and sue you for the deficiency balance. After the finance company repossesses the car they will sell the car at the auto auction. Usually the finance company does not get enough money from the auction to pay off your loan. This shortfall is called a “deficiency� and you would still be legally obligated to pay the creditor the deficiency balance. As you can see, the decision to reaffirm your car loan is a serious financial matter. Reaffirmation agreements are strictly voluntary. You are not required by the Bankruptcy Code or other state or federal law to reaffirm your car loan. Before entering into such an agreement, you will want to speak to your bankruptcy attorney to make sure that the reaffirmation is in your best interest. Redeem: In Chapter 7, you have the right to purchase or redeem your car from the creditor by making a lump sum payment equal to the car’s fair market value. The 2005 bankruptcy code provides that you must pay the creditor the replacement retail cost of the car. The balance of the debt will be discharged. For example, assume you own a car worth $5000.00, but owe the finance company $10,000.00. In this circumstance, you could redeem the vehicle by paying the creditor $5000.00 and the remaining balance will be discharged in your bankruptcy. Your bankruptcy attorney can advise you on the benefits of redeeming your financed car and identifying lenders that will provide the funds for your vehicle redemption. Surrender: If you cannot afford the monthly payments on your car loan, or if you determine that you owe more than the car is worth, you can unload the car and the debt in your Chapter 7 bankruptcy by surrendering the vehicle to the creditor.

Car Leases in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy If you are leasing your car when you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy you can choose to either continue making the monthly lease payments, or surrender the car back to the creditor. If you surrender the leased car, any obligation under the lease will be eliminated in your Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. Car Loans in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a powerful tool to protect your car from repossession. If you have fallen behind on your car payments, you can file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy to stop the repossession of your vehicle and repay any delinquent monies due. If you are not delinquent, you have the choice of just continuing your regular payments, or surrender the vehicle, and discharge the balance as an unsecured debt, much te same way as in chapter 7. 910 Claims: If you bought your vehicle less than 910 days of filing your bankruptcy case, you must repay the entire car loan. The good news is that the interest rate you pay on your car loan may be significantly reduced. For example, if you owed $10,000 on a car loan whose blue book value was only $5000, you would be required to pay the entire $10,000 balance if the car was purchased less than 30 months, or 910 days, of filing. In short, debtors who want to keep their cars must pay the full loan amount, rather than “cram down� the debt to the value of the car. Cram Down: If you bought your car more than 910 days before you file bankruptcy, you will only have to repay an amount equal to the present value of the car. For example, if you owed $5000 on a car that is worth only $2500, upon filing Chapter 13 you would be required to repay the finance company only $2500 over the three to five year term of your Chapter 13 Plan. Car Leases in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy You car lease cannot be paid through the Chapter 13 Plan you devise with your bankruptcy attorney. You can “assume� the lease and continue making the monthly payments. You can “reject� the lease and return the car to the creditor. The creditor will sell the leased vehicle, apply the sale proceeds to your lease balance and then file a claim in your Chapter 13 bankruptcy case for the lease deficiency. This deficiency is an unsecured, non-priority claim, which means you will likely only pay the finance company pennies on the dollar.

VACC files drug trafficking raps vs Sen. De Lima, 7 others

By Christopher Lloyd T. Caliwan

MANILA, Oct. 11 (PNA) – The Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) on Tuesday filed before the Department of Justice (DOJ) a drug trafficking complaint against former DOJ Secretary and now Senator Leila De Lima and seven other persons. The group, through its president Dante Jimenez, specifically charged De Lima, former DOJ Undersecretary Francisco Baraan III, Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) Franklin Bucayu, De Lima’s former bodyguard and alleged boyfriend Ronnie Dayan, her former security aides Joenel Sancez and Jose Adrian Dera, convicted kidnapper Jaybee Sebastian and Wilfredo Ely, alleged bagman of Bucayu for violation of Section 5, in relation to Section 26 (b) of Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. Jimenez accused the respondents of being involved in the illegal drugs trade inside and outside the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) from 2012 to 2016. ”We are really surprised and saddened that a former Secretary of Justice (SoJ) in the first time that a SoJ is being charged is being charged regarding the illegal drug

trading in NBP, under her watch. So we cannot do otherwise there is a nakikita po naming a higher probable cause and hopefully the DOJ who would assist them will proceed with the filing of appropriate case in the appropriate cause,” Jimenez told reporters after filing the complaint. The complaint was filed in connection with allegations that De Lima, during her term as DOJ secretary in conspiracy with the other respondents benefitted from the proliferation of illegal drugs inside the NBP in Muntinlupa City. “Respondents Sen. De Lima, Bucayu, Dayan, Sanchez, Jose Adrian Dera and Jaybee, were able to conspire with one another in perpetuating a massive drug trade inside the Bilibid through the influence and power exercised by the Office of the Secretary of Justice, through then Secretary De Lima,” the 65-page complaint read. It added that De Lima used her authority to appoint and designate men inside the Bilibid in order to ensure easy illegal drugs transactions in the said prison facility. The VACC used the testimonies given by convicted inmates led by Herbert Colanggo during the hearing of the House Committee on

Sen. de Lima dares detractors to file case against her at the Ombudsman By Azer N. Parrocha

MANILA, Oct. 11 (PNA) – Senator Leila de Lima on Tuesday challenged the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) to file a case against her at the Office of the Ombudsman. The VACC earlier filed a complaint at the Department of Justice (DOJ) against de Lima and five others over their alleged involvement in the proliferation of illegal drugs inside the New Bilibid Prison (NBP). De Lima welcomed the filing of the case, saying that it was about time that a case was filed at the proper venue instead of having it probed at the House of Representatives. She however noted that the VACC should have directly filed the complaint at the Ombudsman, and not the DOJ, to avoid wasting time.

“Such a case against me for acts done while (I was) secretary of justice should be filed with the Ombudsman, not the DOJ,” the neophyte senator said in an email sent to the media. De Lima explained that although the DOJ may initially take cognizance, the case would eventually be filed by the DOJ before the Ombudsman for another round of fact-finding investigation. “In the interest of the speedy administration of justice, they should have directly filed this complaint with the Ombudsman, not the DOJ,” she added. The former justice secretary further said she could not help but speculate that there could be “other reasons” for filing the complaint with the DOJ instead of the Ombudsman.

Justice committee hearing in aid of legislation on proliferation of the illegal drugs trade inside the NBP as basis of their complaint. “Each one of them had played significant roles in order to ensure the perpetuation of the illegal drug trade inside the Bilibid. Sen. De Lima, through her authority, as the Secretary of Justice was able to put in position her cohorts at the BuCor to enable her to maneuver the drug trade,” the complaint said. “Her influence and power likewise offered respondents in this case

shield and protection to ensure the invisibility in the conduct of their illegal trade; in this same manner that she was also able to eliminate the competitors of Jaybee inside the prison by having them transferred to the NBI,” it added. On the other hand, the VACC said Sebastian acted as one of the responsible persons tasked by De Lima and Baraan in ensuring that drugs lords inside the prison will comply with the demand to trade drugs. Jimenez meanwhile appealed to the DOJ to act quickly on the case.

DOH’s pilot Mega Treatment and Rehab Center in Nueva Ecija will be operational next month: Sec. Ubial By Leilani S. Junio

MANILA, Oct. 12 (PNA) – The Department of Health (DOH) announced on Wednesday that the 10,000-bed mega drug treatment and rehabilitation center for drug dependents being built in Nueva Ecija is almost complete. The DOH said that full operation of the facility will take place by the first week of November to accommodate drug surrenderers who have been assessed needing treatment and rehabilitation as part of mainstreaming them back to society as productive citizens. The construction of the mega treatment and rehabilitation center in Fort Magsaysay, a military camp in Central Luzon, is in line with the mandate of the government to enhance its campaign against illegal drugs and upon recognition of the current demand for more drug rehabilitation centers for surrenderers who will need in-patient treatment. “We are expecting that half of this facility is ready for occupancy by October 17, but the patients for rehabilitation and treatment will not be transferred until November because of the needed furnishings,” Health Secretary Dr. Paulyn Jean B. Rosell-Ubial told a press briefing at the DOH Media Relations Unit in Tayuman, Sta. Cruz, Manila. A partial turnover of 2,500 beds will be made on Oct. 15, while the turnover for the remaining 7,500 beds will be done on Nov. 16, 2016.

Stronger law enforcement key to boosting fish production, says fisheries bureau MANILA, Oct. 11 (PNA) – The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) is pushing for stronger enforcement measures to achieve sustainable fisheries and seafood self-sufficiency in the country. “We have to maintain and protect our traditional fishing grounds. If we properly enforce our fisheries law, we will have enough fish. We need

action, and we need to do it now,” the bureau’s national director, Eduardo Gongona, told reporters in a recent press conference in Quezon City. Gongona pointed to the lack of enforcement as one of the reasons why illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing prevails, worsening the damage to the Philippines’ rich but vastly threatened marine resources.

Lawyer Gloria Estenzo Ramos, vice president of Oceana Philippines estimated that 56 percent of the Filipinos’ animal protein comes from fish, and 93 percent of fish caught in the country are consumed domestically. Fishing is not only a vital source of food, but also provides livelihood for millions of Filipinos, she said,

adding that for a country that is dependent on the seas for sustenance and livelihood, “we certainly need to be more vigilant in protecting our marine resources”. The Philippines ranks 11th in the world as a source of seafood caught in the wild. However, destructive fishing practices, such as blast fishing, bottom trawl, and modified Danish seine, and the illegal exploitation of commercial fishers in municipal waters, have led to the rapid decline of fish supply. According to BFAR and marine scientists, 10 out of 13 of the country’s major fishing grounds are already overfished. “Strengthened law enforcement, with sustainable fisheries management, also protects the spawning ground of fish. If our fisheries will be given time and protection to recover, it would ensure seafood security and result in increased incomes for marginalized fisherfolk, who are the country’s poorest of the poor, and our coastal residents whose lives, income and culture are tied to our oceans,” Ramos said. Ramos cited that the recent apprehension of two fishing boats at the Tañon Strait off Negros and Cebu islands, containing 19 thresher sharks and 70 buckets of fish believed to have been caught using dynamite, is a strong indication of strengthened enforcement to deter illegal fishing in Tañon Strait, the country’s largest marine protected area.

EU-funded program to boost PHL church’s capacity in disaster response kicks-off MANILA, Oct. 11 (PNA) – The social action arm of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) will be implementing a new approach that would strengthen its capacity in responding to disasters. With this, National Secretariat for Social Action (NASSA)/Caritas Philippines Executive Secretary Fr. Edwin Gariguez reported that the program of the European Union (EU) called Partnership for Building Capacities in Humanitarian Action (PEACH), will be implemented in 11 dioceses from Luzon and Visayas regions. He noted that the program which will be implemented until March 2018, is expected to strengthen the technical skills and competence of its church workers and volunteers in responding to emergencies and implementing disaster preparedness program. “This is a welcome development in the humanitarian work we are doing together with the social action network of the different dioceses all over the Philippines. Through this program, we hope that we can truly improve our church workers and volunteers’ skill in emergency response especially as the Philippines is at the doorstep of disasters,” he said in a statement. Likewise, it will boost the organization’s capacity in the field of volunteer management, and integrate the Philippine Catholic Church’s lessons and best practices from its experiences in responding to previous disasters such as Super Typhoon Yolanda together with the EU’s humanitarian aid principles.

Trump’s ‘objectiďŹ cation’ of women sounds ‘misogynistic’ Ever since the news broke last week on presidential candidate Donald J. Trump’s physical assault on women, more women have now claimed similar encounters they had with him. This author finds Mr. Trump’s behavior on “objectifyingâ€? women as truly “misogynistic.â€? “Misogyny,â€? according to Wikipedia is the “hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls. Misogyny can be manifested in numerous ways, including social exclusion, sex discrimination, hostility, androcentrism, patriarchy, ideas of male privilege, belittling of women and sexual objectification.â€? As I recall, during a semester of learning Greek Mythology in college, there were evidences of “Misogynyâ€? practices in the ancient world. There were several chapters that dealt with the fact that the “human race had already experienced a peaceful, autonomous existence as a companion to the gods, before the creation of women.

Thus, when Prometheus decided to steal the secret of fire from the gods, Zeus became infuriated and he decided to punish the whole humankind with an ‘evil thing for their delight.’ This ‘evil thing’ was Pandora, the first woman, who carried a jar, (usually described as a box), which she was told to never open. Epimetheus, (the brother of Prometheus) was overwhelmed by her beauty and disregarded Prometheus’ warnings against her and marries her. But, Pandora can’t resist peeking into the jar, and by opening it, unleashes into the world all evil, labour, sickness, old age and death.� Also, according to a sociologist

Church will continue to oppose artiďŹ cial contraception, says oďŹƒcial MANILA, Oct. 11 (PNA) – An official of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines has reaffirmed the Church’s opposition to contraceptives. “No legal maneuverings can deter life advocates from pursuing its goal to protect life from the moment of conception until the end,â€? said Fr. Jerome Secillano, executive secretary of the CBCP’s Public Affairs Committee. Secillano was reacting to the motion filed by the Department of Health (DoH) before the Supreme Court seeking to lift a temporary restraining order (TRO) on selling, distributing and promoting contraceptive implants.

“While we respect the DoH’s right to appeal, it is also the right of pro-life groups to fight for the sacredness and dignity of life,� Secillano said. The Catholic Church has repeatedly expressed opposition to the implementation of the Reproductive Health Law, saying that it is anti-people and anti-God. On Monday, Health Secretary Paulyn Jean Ubial filed a 47-page motion appealing the ruling of the High Court, which last August, issued a TRO rejecting the health department’s acquisition and distribution of contraceptive products to the public.

named Allan Jackson, “misogyny� is a cultural attitude of “hatred for females because they are females,� and that “misogyny� is a “central part of sexist prejudice which are manifested in many different ways, from jokes to pornography, to violence to the self-contempt women who were taught what to feel toward their own bodies.� Though we are all aware that Mr.Trump has been married three times, and he claims he loves them as well as the fact that he has a high regard and respect for his daughter, Ivanka, his behavior toward women as a whole describes his disrespect, which we have all witnessed on television regarding his comments toward TV host, Nancy O’Dell, comedian Rosie O’Donnell or his then opponent, Republican candidate, Carly Fiorina and Alicia Machado, former Miss Arizona. As of this writing there were allegedly several women whom lawyer

Gloria Allred is helping pursue sexual allegations against Trump. With the upcoming election coming up in 24 days, Mr. Trump needs women voters like us to rally for him, but if he goes on bragging along with his despicable attitude toward us, I‘m almost certain that women’s votes for him will forever be gone.

DA, DTI urged to promote Filipino products in int’l trade fairs By Azer N. Parrocha

MANILA, Oct. 11 (PNA) – Senator Cynthia Villar has urged the Department of Agriculture and Trade and Industry (DA, DTI) to work together and participate in international exhibitions to promote Filipino products. Villar made this remark, noting that she has observed that the Philippine participation in trade fairs abroad needs to be improved. Last month, Villar led the Philippine delegation to China’s second largest international trade event, the China-ASEAN Expo (CAExpo) in Nanning, Guangxi Province. The Philippine CAExpo contingent involved 28 companies, compared to about 200 firms for Vietnam. “We have so many products to offer the world, it is not right to appear inferior next to our neighboring countries,â€? Villar said. “Trade fairs present the opportunity to market the produce of our farmers and raise global awareness on our country’s world-class products and services,â€? she added. Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel “Mannyâ€? PiĂąol, for his part, vowed to participate in more trade fairs including one in southern California in November to promote the Cordillera farmers’ heirloom rice, coco chips and other organic and high-value crops.

have a gripe, a grievance to express, tell me about the issue and maybe that would be more in keeping with transparency,” he said. “Six years is a very limited time to implement reforms. I cannot erase all, I cannot stop all of it, but I can minimize it,” he added. The idea is to allot an hour each day so people could send their complaints to be aired through the government-owned television network, Duterte said. The Chief Executive said he would ask inputs from lawyers to finetune the measure. He said he wants to strike a balance between keeping the public informed, allowing them to air grievances and safeguarding people’s

privacy. He said he felt insulted by the continuing corruption in government, adding that fighting abuses was one of the cornerstones of his administration. With regard to addressing illegal drugs in the country, he said that a rehabilitation center in Fort Magsaysay will open soon, which could house more than 1,000 drug dependents. The President also informed local officials about his scheduled trips to Brunei and China, which could open more opportunities for the country. He likewise announced his scheduled visit to Japan after his trips to Brunei and China. After that, he intends to go to Russia.

dependent from the US and yet everybody wants to dip their hands in our country’s affairs. If we ask help from them, won’t we Filipinos appear stupid?” he said. If the US and EU indeed withdraw their support from the Philippines, nothing could be done about it, he said, adding that although it would initially be difficult, the country could stand on its own feet. “We can’t do anything, that is why the best thing to do is exert the highest effort that we can. We cannot be begging all our lives,” he said. Estrada cited that Vietnam was devastated by war in the ‘60s and ‘70s but it eventually got back economically. “Vietnam was in such dire straits for so long, but why is it now more progressive than the Philippines? It is even a rice exporter when the

Vietnamese just learned about rice production from us. This means we have to join hands and work together to reach our target,” Estrada said. He added that if only the 102 million Filipinos would stand behind President Duterte, the country would move forward toward self-reliance. President Duterte had said that if the US and EU object to his drug war and wish to withdraw their aid, they should do so, and the Philippines would not beg.

PHL WON’T From page 1

Lacson described the PHL-US ties as “time-tested” and “time-honored” because of the MDT and expressed hope that the President would reconsider his hostile attitude towards the country’s long-time ally. “We don’t need to be hostile against any nation. We need allies especially in our situation now that there are intrusions,” the senator said. “As much as possible, if it cannot be helped because one or two countries are really hostile to the point of attacking us, that’s when we should be hostile. But if not, we should be friendly. We’re just a small country. And no country can survive if there are superpowers that are not cooperative with us,” he added. He explained that while it was necessary to be allies with China and

other nations, it did not mean that the country’s ties with the US should be broken. “I hope the President reconsiders his posture,” he added. Lacson also said that the President should listen to the advice of former President Fidel Ramos, who earlier expressed disappointment at the administration’s first 100 days in office. Ramos, who was also appointed by the President as special envoy to China, noted that the country was “losing badly” by prioritizing the anti-illegal drugs campaign and giving less attention to challenges such as poverty and employment. “He should at least listen and consider. He doesn’t need to heed all the advice. But he should consider that the advice especially coming from a statesmen like PFVR,” Lacson said referring to the former president.

Honor Thy Father is LAPIFF best picture By Abner Galino

Honor Thy Father, a movie that starred John Lloyd Cruz, was adjudged Best Picture in the recently concluded Los Angeles Philippine International Film Festival (LAPIFF). The movie, which revolves on an investment scam that subsequently forced its main character to commit another crime, bested nine other movies in a three-day film festival where seven other short films and three documentary films also competed. Two animation films were also shown and a couple of acclaimed Filipino movies were given special screenings. Actress Cindy Pangilinan (Star Na Si Van Damme Stalone) was named Best Actress and Soliman Cruz (Balik/Return) was declared Best Actor in the feature films category. “I consider this as a pleasant surprise from the Lord, a reminder to be good, and an inspiration to do good in everything that we do. Thank you very much. Mabuhay ang pelikulang Pilipino,” Pangilinan said in a message. The Best Director award was shared by Pedring Lopez (Nilalang) and Randolph Longjas (Star Na Si Van Damme Stalone). The other honors were awarded to “Ari:My Life With The King” for Best Screenplay; and “Tandem” for Best Cinematography. Special Jury Prize For Ensemble Cast was given to “The Head Thieves.” In the short film category, Los Angeles based actress Katherine Olmedo (Got It Maid) was awarded the Best Actress honor while Niko Salazar

(Sejour) was named Best Actor. “I was nominated in the past for other projects, but this was my first win! It was such a great collaboration between the crew, the amazing cast and director Shawn Semana,” Olmedo said in a message. The movie “Sukat/Measure” was adjudged Best Short Film. The other honors in the short film category went to ANJ Macalanda for Best Director (Wawa); “They Call Us Maids” for Best Screenplay; Albert Chan Paran for Independent Spirit Award and We Call Her Yolanda for Special Relevance/Issue Award. The Audience Choice Award was bagged by Ari: My Life With A King in the full length film category while “Julie” got it for the short film category. “Overall, I believe that it was a success. The people said the programming was good, the LAPIFF selection committee was good. They said the venue was also great --- both coming from the filmmakers and the moviegoers. They told me: We need to do this every year,” said hollywood actor Abe Pagtama, one of the founders of LAPIFF. Pagtama went to thank his brother Gabe Pagtama, Jush Andowitt and Fe Koons whose efforts contributed to the success of the event. The Southbay Pavilion Mall team led by Sweeney Mae Montenilla and the Fil-Am Creative were also mentioned for their invaluable support to the Filipino American community which is currently celebrating its national ancestry month.

Velez said Israel’s son told her that the actor started vomiting blood before he died inside their house. Velez said Israel’s wife was also brought to the hospital two weeks ago and is now comatose. In July, a fire hit the Israel’s family’s house, which destroyed almost everything he had worked for in his long showbiz career. He also suffered a stroke in 2010 that left half of his body paralyzed and affected his speech. Velez is part of Damay Kamay, an organization founded by artists to provide assistance

Why Sharon Cuneta decided to lose weight After realizing that she was disappointing her fans, Sharon Cuneta decided to lose weight and get healthy once for all. The screen veteran bared her weight-loss journey, admitting that she was shocked when she gained 30 pounds without even knowing it. “I did what I had to do. Kasi nung napanood ko iyong sarili ko sa birthday special ng ‘ASAP’ for me, I was shocked. I felt small. I never let my physical obstacles that I had been carrying on my back—I never let those define me. Pero nahiya ako sa fans ko. As an actress, you’re supposed to keep yourself looking like a leading lady Sharon Cuneta and apparently, I had really crossed the line. And that was a real wake-up call,” she said. According to Cuneta, she tried several diets and even went through liposuction. But none of those worked. Until she started an “all-natural” method, which she did not disclose in detail. “I wanted to challenge myself. I said, ‘Can you do it? Yes, you can! Test your willpower! You know who you are inside. You’ve been through things worse than this. Taba lang ito!’ So before the ‘ASAP’ tribute, I have gained more than 30 pounds nang hindi ko alam. So from January until now, I’ve lost 66 pounds,” she shared. Cuneta, in the same interview, also talked about her upcoming concert—her first in four years. She will perform before her fans again at The Theatre at Solaire on October 15 and 22. (MNS)

Five BeneďŹ ts of establishing a Revocable Living Trust

There is never the perfect time to think about who you would like to inherit from your estate in case you pass away or at least who among your closest friends (BFFs) and family members are even deserving of inheriting from your estate. In doing so, you should also think about which vehicle you plan to use in implementing your estate plan. One of the best vehicle in implementing your estate plan is a revocable living trust. Five major benefits of establishing a revocable living trust are: Your estate can avoid the time, cost, and hassle of going through the probate court process. If you pass away without a will (intestate) in California, one of your close family would have to file a petition in probate court to probate your estate. Your estate will be divided and distributed according to the California probate code rules of intestate succession. Even if you have a will when you pass away, your family would still need to file a petition in probate court if your estate is worth over $150,000 and go through the probate process. This can become a circus if certain beneficiaries contest the validity of the Will or the distribution of the estate. Your estate will pay for attorney’s fees, probate referee fees, appraisers and other experts, CPA fees, etc. If people contest the case, your estate would end up paying legal fees to defend the estate in litigation. The entire process can take anywhere from 9 months to years depending on the contentiousness of the probate case. With a revocable living trust,

your trustee or successor trustee if you were the initial trustee, would administer the trust and distribute the estate according to the trust document without having to open a probate court case. If the trust is funded with all your assets, it is possible to administer and distribute the trust assets without any Court involvement at all. This process is a lot faster than going through probate. Your estate is not public record When you file a probate case, the public has access to your probate case file. The public will know the assets of the estate including the values of those assets. If the Will is admitted into probate, the terms of the Will is open to public scrutiny. Establishing a revocable living trust makes your estate affairs private. Strangers do not have access to the terms of your living trust. Only certain beneficiaries and possible heirs can request a copy of the revocable living trust after you pass away. You can dictate who will inherit from your estate. If you pass away without a Will, your estate will be divided and distributed in Probate Court following the rules of intestate succession in the California probate code. Certain relatives will be entitled to a share of your estate even if you feel they are not deserving. By es-

tablishing a revocable living trust, you can designate who you want to inherit from your estate. You can designate what and how much each one will received from your estate after you pass away. The assets distributed to each beneficiaries does not have to be equal. The people you designate as beneficiaries of your living trust does not even have to be close family members. You can designate anyone as a beneficiary, with certain exceptions, of your estate. You can structure your estate to minimize estate taxes If your estate is valued above the estate tax exemption, establishing a trust can allow you to divide up your estate into smaller sub trusts to minimize the overall estate tax effect on your estate. It allows you to set up a vehicle for certain charitable giving which carries tax advantage and asset protection. You can choose who will administer your estate after your death When you establish a revocable trust, you can appoint someone else as trustee or you can appoint a successor trustee if you are the initial trustee. The trustee will be administering (managing) the trust after you pass away without a need to open a probate court case. This allows for continuity in operating the trust and the efficient and cost effective distribution of estate assets. If you are concerned about whether you can trust any family members as your trustee, you can appoint an institution as a professional trustee to carry out the terms of the declaration of trust.

Seniors seek relief from $80k and $28k credit cards Clients are young seniors at 60. Husband has a stable middle management job that pays $5K a month. Wife is not employed. They don’t own a house. They rent for $1200 a month and pay for a 2016 Lexus SUV 3.0. They enjoy travelling by SUV. This is the little luxury that they indulge in. On weekends, they drive to the border of Las Vegas and try their luck at the slot machines. This is their routine almost every weekend. On some weekends, they may drive to the beach at Santa Monica or Dana point and just relax, soaking in the sun and enjoying the sea breeze. This is their life in Southern California since they moved to Los Angeles thirty years ago. Kids are all adults, on their own and have their own lives and families. They have been empty nesters for the last fifteen years. The problem is that in the last twenty years, they accumulated $80K of credit card debt. Minimum payment to keep them current is $2,400 a month. This is half their gross income and double their rent. Believe it or not, they are still current on the $80K. None of the $80K credit card debt is on past due status. I guess wife takes care of sending out the $2,400 to fifteen credit card companies every month. That alone is a full time job. No wonder she doesn’t work. Clients have been working for the credit card companies, paying them $2,400 a month, $28K a year. And how much have they paid in the last twenty years to keep their cards current? $576K, more than half a million dollars! And how much do they still owe today after paying $576K? They still owe the very same $80K! If they had just set aside the $576K in savings, instead of paying credit cards, think of what clients can do with half a million dollars today, now that they are 60? Well, for one, instead of renting, they can fully pay for a house. Or, they can invest that in a wealth portfolio that will give them at least $2,500 a month in additional income even at a 5% annual return. Or, they

can pay for the 2016 Lexus in cash. Think about all the productive things they can do with half a million dollars in cash. They can travel and enjoy all the beautiful sights and cultures that the world has to offer. When you’re younger you don’t think about these things until it is too late. You think you will live forever and you will be young forever. But reality sets in when you turn 60. I don’t know why that’s the magic number. People are not faced with the prospect of mortality in their forties or fifties. But the sixties are different. I believe it is because the next decade after the sixties is the seventies. While one can still be “young� at 60 and do practically anything that one can do in their thirties, except at a slower pace, at 70 the whole range of possibilities changes. At 70, the signs of physical aging are obvious, unless one has managed to delay these signs by exceptionally healthy eating, living and exercise. Unfortunately, despite all the advances in stem cell technology and cancer cures, mankind has not yet been able to defeat the number one cause of death of humans, old age. The oldest person today is 116. How many of us can even reach 90? Most of us will kick the bucket and either be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in paradise, or locked in a 10 x 10 feet cell guarded by monsters who will eat our flesh in hell in our eighties. If you are 60 now, that’s just another 20 to 25 years from now. The choice is life eternal with total joy and bliss with our Lord and Savior in his Father’s house in heaven, or an eternity of pain and suffering in hell with Lucifer, the choice, my friend, is yours. Clients can start a new life with a Chapter 7 petition to wipe out $80K See YANG, page 12

when someone makes a false statement about you that causes you some type of harm. The statement must be published (meaning some third party must have heard or read it), it must be false, and it must result in harm, usually to the reputation. There are defamatory statements where harm to reputation is presumed, or are automatic. These are statements that are defamatory on their face. They are also called “defamation per se.� These are statements that do not need any additional explanation on why they are defamatory. The harms from these defamatory statements need not be proven. Some examples of “per se� defamatory statements are statements that label someone a criminal, or of having a sexually transmitted disease, or of being guilty of moral turpitude. The defamatory statements that are not “defamatory per se� are called “defamatory per quod.� Defamation that is published orally, and not written is “slander�. Defamation that is published in print (in a newspaper, in a letter, or a book) is “libel.� There is a difference in what the victim or plaintiff has to prove in order to recover damages in a defamation claim based on whether the plaintiff is a public figure or not. It is harder to prove defamation of character is you are a “public figure�, i.e. a government official, an entertainment star, etc. If someone defames you, you may be entitled to recover damages You might incur financial losses in your business when customers stop patronizing your restaurant because someone publicized that your kitchen is very dirty. Or you

may be bothered so much from the defamatory statement that you may suffer from mental or physical anguish resulting from defamation. Some individuals suffer from health problems, including insomnia, depression, anxiety, and even physical ailments when subjected to defamation. The most obvious harm that you can suffer when somebody defames you, of course, is harm to your reputation. A lawyer can help you make monetary recoveries in a defamation lawsuit. What to do when someone defames you The best thing to do when you believe someone is defaming or has defamed you is to consult with a lawyer. The lawyer, after listening to the facts of your situation, can advise you on what are the proper steps to be done. A lawyer can help in securing a restraining order if the defamatory acts are continuing. A lawyer can also advise on whether you should ask for a retraction or not. Finally, a lawyer can advise whether it is advisable to file a lawsuit against that person who has defamed you. Caesar S. Natividad, Esq. is a Filipino lawyer who has practiced since 2000.

The devil is always on the prowl, ever deceiving you with false promises to bring you to hell. Next client is a widow at 65. Her husband died last month. Husband passed away unexpectedly. She still works and makes $2K a month as an assembler. Husband was making $3,400 a month as an LVN but fell ill and died in five months. He went into a coma on the fourth month and never recovered.

Surviving spouse is liable for community property debts. Client decides to start fresh at 65 with a Chapter 7 fresh start to wipe out husband’s $28K of credit card debt.

The city has been in a state of dengue alertness since last year due to the abnormally high occurrence of dengue infection, especially during a month. She now lives with her son so she doesn’t pay rent. But why pay $900 a month for credit cards when she can save that $900 every month for her own use and security? $900 a month of savings is $10,800 a year. In three years, client should have saved up $32,400 in the bank. Who wants to have $28K of credit card debt at 65 sucking up $900 of social security or pension?

Medicare open enrollment October 15 is the start of Medicare Open Enrollment. This lasts up to December 7,2016. All changes made during this period are effective January 1, 2017. Open enrollment allows everyone to review his/her Medicare health plan. You are either on Original Medicare, i.e. Parts A & B, and purchase Part D. Under this plan, you can go to any doctor that accepts Medicare, no need for referral or prior authorization, but you pay your share of cost. To take care of the share of cost, many enroll on a Medicare Supplement Plan or MediGap. Or, you are enrolled on a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C). Most Part C plans in Southern CA are HMO’s, a plan where members see a Primary Care Doctor that coordinates the member’s health care. In 2017, 1 or 2 plan sponsors offer a PPO, a plan that allows members to see any doctor in or out of the network. Disruptions? These are now the new normal. Are you satisfied with your current doctor? Are you paying too much co-pay for your prescription medications? Will your health plan cover your prescription medications in 2017? Is your MediGap premium too much? Do you need coverage outside the U.S.? Is transportation to and fro your doctor, pharmacy, and lab a huge issue to you? Do you think you qualify for Extra Help? Are you eligible for Medi-Cal? Will you be eligible for Medicare late this year or early next year and

OC Fil-Am Chamber of Commerce’s 22nd Awards Gala focuses on next gen The Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Orange County focused this year’s signature event in celebrating tomorrow’s leaders at the 22nd edition of the Annual Awards Gala last Oct. 7 at the Magic Kingdom Ballroom of Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim. Indeed the magic of continuous leadership lies on the shoulders of future leaders on whose hands are entrusted the next generation of leadership who are better attuned to the intricacies of the changing business environment. Some members of the current crop of student leaders had been invited to highlight the thrust of FACCOC’s future thrusts which currently rely significantly on the members’ spirit of volunteerism to achieve its mission in the community. Focusing on the future leaders highlighted the importance roles they would play given today’s constantly changing circumstances, with market trends coming and coming and customers’ preferences changing. Five student leaders from University of California, California State University, Cal State University and Cal Poly Pomona had the spotlights shared the center stage as nominees for “Fil-Am Scholars of the Year” and “Graduate of the Year”, the first time ever that campus figures had been given due recognition by the Chamber. This year’s “Scholar of the Year”, Anthony Cantal of Cal Poly Pomona is a mechanical engineering graduate whose major study had emphasis in vibration, robotics, HVAC and alternative energy. The other scholars included An-

thony Garcia (with major in History), Heidi Carreon (Journalism), Jacqueline Mayuga (Applied Math) – all from University of California- and Celina Saludes (Communication Disorders) from Cal State Fullerton. FACCOC has through the years built strong partnership with business players in the community in achieving its four-fold mission of serving the members’ businesses and the community. Some of them were also acknowledged and accorded the rightful recognition for the fruitful collaboration. US Bank had been a faithful supporter of FACCOC’s programs for its members and the community and was awarded the FACCOC Corporate Advocate Award. The bank has been “recognized as one of the safest, most respected and most trusted bank in the county” and which shares a strong tradition of joining forces to build great places “they call home”. US Bank works business conscience has enabled it to “work with community partners who understands the needs of individuals, families and organizations”. Ms. Joanna Favis Pamaran, USBank vice president, received the award for her company. First Choice Bank, represented by VP Natividado Maneja, was awarded the Corporate Advocate Award of the Year while Fullerton-based restau-

OPINION

Palace shares vision for new PHL MANILA, Oct. 12 (PNA) – A Palace official on Wednesday said that President Rodrigo Duterte is not merely focused on his campaign against illegal drugs but on the country’s overall development. Assistant Secretary of the Office of the Cabinet Secretary Jonas George Soriano, in a press briefing in Malacañang, said there are other things that the Duterte administration is focused on but which the public does not see. “He (Duterte) is doing a lot people don’t see. Because what he does is, especially during the meetings that most of us don’t see, (he) gives a lot of directives,” Soriano said. Soriano said that while the public is seeing the administration’s actions to rid the country of illegal drugs, President Duterte is also concerned about other national issues such as eliminating red tape in government and agriculture, among others. “We only have six years. If we need to do a change, we do it now,” Soriano said. In terms of poverty alleviation, for example, Soriano said the Duterte administration is closely working with the local government units (LGUs) to reduce poverty incidence. “In the end, it cannot always be national. So even if we’re up here and do this, the impact will not be as great. Not unless, one, we synergize horizontally but we work very closely and synergize also vertically,” he said. Soriano, meanwhile, said the Duterte administration has initiatives to rid the poor from being victimized by illegal drugs. He said the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) has the “Mamamayang Ayaw Sa Anomalya, Mamamayang Ayaw sa Ilegal na Droga” or “Masa Masid,” a community-based program for the prevention of corruption, illegal drugs and criminality in barangays. Soriano also stressed that rehabilitation of people victimized by illegal drugs must be tied to livelihood initiatives. “Pag gumaling, meron siyang gagawin productively. Kasi ang lumalabas, pami-pamilya ang tinatamaan so ang need for the integration of livelihood is very important,” he said. Soriano also said the government is working closely with the private sector on how they can contribute in the rehabilitation of illegal drug users. In the same briefing, Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella assured that the Philippines’ relationship with its neighbors in the region remains strong, underscoring President Duterte’s upcoming visits to China, Brunei, and Japan. “Our relationships with the ASEAN countries remain fundamentally solid,” Abella said. Abella also said that while the Philippines is very grateful for the international aid it has received through the years, President Duterte is reminding the Filipinos that it is time to gain some self-respect and build a sense of identity. “It should be aid and should not be used as a tool,” Abella said. “More than that, from where the President is coming from, he is trying to remind the Filipino people to regain some self-respect.” “Yes, we accept aid and we respect (that) and we are very grateful for these things but these are not things that we depend on. These are not things that we seek out or are willing to back off on our principles simply because we are afraid to lose aid,” he added, noting that President Duterte is trying to build Filipino character and Filipino identity.

Palace answers FVR: Duterte has long-term vision for PHL By Jelly F. Musico

MANILA, Oct. 12 (PNA) – Contrary to former President Fidel V. Ramos’ observation, President Rodrigo Duterte has long-term vision for the Philippines based on the “AmBisyon 2040”. ”The President does have a long-term vision. It hasn’t really been expounded on, it’s not public knowledge but he does have a vision for that,” Presidential Spokesman Ernesto Abella said in a press briefing. ”In fact, even in his inaugural speech, the President described his vision for Filipinos as a comfortable life for all. It is basically a short common phase in order to be able to articulate what is already fully articulated in “AmBisyon 2040,” he added. Last Tuesday, President Ramos said Duterte has yet to lay down his long-term strategic vision for the country. Abella said President Duterte’s three-fold mission include: to reduce poverty from 26 to 17 percent; to establish an orderly society by reducing crime, corruption and illegal drugs; and, to seek and final lasting peace with communist and Moro rebels. ”In other words, to seek a peaceful nation, no internal wars, to have orderly communities, to have just and fair dealings, and prosperity which is opportunities for all,” Abella said. In pursuit of his vision, President Duterte has exercised political will and acted on several issues, according to the Palace spokesman. ”One area which has been taking a lot

of attention has been his campaign against illegal drugs where his threats against those engaged in the trade and deaths related to the campaign seemed to have outweighed the actual result,” Abella said. ”So the President is engaged, not just in a matter of state building but also of nation building which is basically addressing the Filipino mind and character and love for country,” he added. In the same media briefing, Performance and Project Management Office of the Office of the Cabinet Secretary deputy executive director Jonas George Soriano said the Duterte administration has consulted nearly 7,000 individuals since President Duterte took his oath last June 30. ”All of them, being part of a process of understanding what this administration wants and more importantly listening to what they want,” Soriano said. Soriano said the consultations with different organizations and stakeholders are part of preparing the “AmBisyon 2040” which soon to be printed out. ”We must communicate to our stakeholders in the Philippines and in the world, this is what the Philippines will be doing in the next six years, and in the next 30 years in bringing about development in the Philippines,” Soriano said. ”And also bringing about the welfare and security of our people. The platform that we’re working on is combining both the development needs and the security needs of our people,” he added.

UN official welcomes Palace’s invitation to investigate alleged EJKs in PHL By Jelly F. Musico

MANILA, Oct. 12 (PNA) – United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extra-Judicial Executions Dr. Agnes Callamard has welcomed media report on invitation by the Philippines for her to investigate alleged extrajudicial killings of drug suspects in the Philippines. ”Welcome media report on invitation to visit #Philippines to investigate #EJE. Waiting for the letter and confirmation by official channels,” Callamard posted in her Twitter account @AgnesCallamard. On Wednesday, Malacanang spokesman Ernesto Abella announced that Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea has forwarded the formal invitation to Callamard. In his letter dated Sept. 26, Medialdea invited Callamard to “see for yourself whether or not the criticisms are legally and factually sound.”

”We are confident that whatever reports, papers or data you may have been furnished with you for your perusal and consideration by your immediate predecessor have not swayed you into prejudging the situation in the Philippines,” Medialdea stated in his invitation letter to the UN official. ”We certainly expect your good self to take a fresh look at the Philippine situation in the light of the drug problem that bedevils our country and have been proven to be more widespread than initially thought,” he added. Medialdea also urged the UN rapporteur to also look into the circumstances behind the killing of the policemen during legitimate drug operations. ”That way, your picture of the enormity and gravity of our problem, and the audacity of drug personalities can be placed on accurate perspective,” the Executive Secretary said.

Duterte ‘insulted’ that corruption still exists after 3 months in office By Jelly F. Musico

MANILA, Oct. 11 (PNA) – President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday said he felt insulted that corruption still exists in the government three months after he assumed office. ”Until now it (corruption) still exists and I feel it as an insult really because that’s my promise: One is I will stop corruption. That was the only line that was repeated by mouth all the months of the campaign,” President Duterte said in his speech after after the mass oath-taking of 125 newly-appointed government officials and League of Municipalities officers at Rizal Hall of Malacanang Palace. Living up to his promise to stamp out corruption, the President has signed an executive order to implement the Freedom of Information at the executive branch level. To allow ordinary citizens to air their grievances and to report the corruption in the government, Malacanang has launched the President’s

Hotline or 8888 dedicated to complaint against fixers, scalawag officials and ineffective government services. ”If I could just get a fraction of the corruption in our government, (it) seems okay for me. I cannot erase all. I cannot stop it but I can minimize it,” President Duterte said. ”My predilection now is really to go fast simply because six years is a very limited time to do some reform,” he added. President Duterte said he is tinkering an idea to open the government-run PTV Channel 4 for one hour each day for complaints and grievances of the citizens against government agencies and its officials. “The names will be flashed minus, if you want, the senders, the complainants or the aggrieved parties or whatever, you can always skip your number but if you want to do it publicly, fine with me,” the President said.

For love of country Filipinos seem to be rallying behind the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte, based on a nationwide survey conducted by Pulse Asia last month. In that survey conducted by Pulse Asia from September 25 to October 1, Duterte’s approval and trust rating among Filipinos in his 100 days as President registered at 86 per cent. This is a clear indication that Filipinos have full confidence in the ability of the President to turn around the country from its economic doldrums and deteriorating peace and order situation. I think his campaign promise to bring real change that will institute genuine reforms and usher in hope, peace and prosperity to the nation has resonated to the Filipinos, who have gotten tired of promises from traditional politicians who have dominated Philippine politics for so many years. A survey taken from 1,200 adults, only three per cent expressed their disappointment or dissatisfaction on how President Duterte was running the affairs of the government. In the Mindanao region, considered to be the President’s turf, Duterte had a whopping 93 per cent approval rating. In Metro Manila, the President’s public acceptance was 81 per cent while in Luzon, it was 82 per cent. In the Vi-

sayan region, Diuterte had an 86 per cent approval rating. When it comes to socio-economic classes, Duterte got the highest approval rating of 88 per cent from people in the class E bracket, followed by 86 per cent from class D and 82 per cent from class ABC. By this time, Filipinos must have noticed that despite being in office for only three months, Duterte has a clear vision to make his administration more productive in helping the poor, as well as to help inspire the people to work harder to improve their economic status. I think the reason why majority of Filipinos have openly expressed their overwhelming support for Duterte is their appreciation for his policy of change in government to end corruption and his all out war against illegal drugs and for his unconditional love for his country. Most of the Filipinos that I had a chance to interview here in Orange

County after they came back from their recent vacation from the Philippines all agreed that President Duterte has indeed made a significant impact on the peace and order situation in the country, particularly in Metro Manila. The family of Quentin Clavecilla, who just arrived here in California and Caloy Olais, a recently retired Social Security System (SSS) executive based in Baguio city, said that change is very evident in the country, from peace and order to transacting business in any government offices. They said that waiting time to get NBI or police clearances have been cut down tremendously. They also said that people now feel safe on the streets, even at night time, because of increased police visibility as a result of an aggressive campaign launched by the government against legal drugs. In spite on the positive results achieved by the government against drug lords, terrorists and other criminals, President Duterte and the police should remain vigilant to continue its fight against all forms of lawlessness. *** Senator Leila De Lima continue to hog the headlines of most newspapers in the Philippines. However, all the stories coming out about her has been negative and is really ruining her reputation not only as a lawyer

15

and a senator but as a mother to her children. Despite damming evidence and statements made by inmates and drug lords implicating and naming Senator De Lima as their protector in their illegal drugs trade business, the former Justice Secretary continued to profess her innocence. High profile drug lords Jaybee Sebastian – supposedly a government asset – and Herbert Colangco told members of the committee on Justice in the Lower House that Senator De Lima is the recipient of at least P65 million from the sale of illegal drugs to help finance her recent senatorial campaign. Except in the Senate, De Lima seemed to have gotten support from three Liberal Party lawmakers in the persons of Edcel Lagman, Edgardo Erice and Teddy Baguilat. They claimed the on-going Congressional hearing on the possible involvement of De Lima in the proliferation of banned drugs inside the NBP were a foregone conclusion and politically motivated to harass the lady senator for being a Duterte critic. These three lawmakers should try to get their brains out from their behinds. They should cross party lines and work with other congressmen to ferret out the truth about the possible involvement of De Lima.

How can senior homeowners avoid having to pay their mortgages for life A regular mortgage loan is where you borrow a certain amount of money and the bank will charge you a certain amount of interest rate per annum for you to pay monthly until the balance is paid off. If you home has a descent amount of equity, this loan is best for senior (over 62 yrs old) homeowners on fixed retirement income to have. The lender give you a line of credit to pay for your mortgage and will do it so you don’t need to pay every month. The legal term is “Reverse Mortgage” but there are so much misunderstanding with this program, people will shut you off with just the thought of you offering them a Reverse mortgage. Here are the facts about this loan program. 1. If I have a reverse mortgage I can lose my home and all of my remaining equity to the government or the bank. False: A reverse mortgage is only a lien on your home. You still own your home. When you leave the home, the loan balance is repaid in full with the remaining equity passing to you or your heirs. 2. A reverse mortgage will use up all of the equity in my home and there will be nothing left for my heirs. False: Because you still own your home, and because it will continue to appreciate in value, it is very difficult

to use up all of your equity. In fact, in many cases, depending on how much money you use, the amount of equity you have may increase. 3. Selling my home is always better than doing a reverse mortgage. False: Not necessarily. If you sell your home, you may lose one of the largest and most secure investments you probably have. You may forfeit up to 10% of your home’s equity in sales costs alone. After selling, you may have to pay rent or some other type of monthly payment that would eat away at your savings. For most seniors, moving from their home is physically and emotionally difficult. 4. Reverse mortgages are all the same, so I don’t need to shop lenders. False: While it may be true that most reverse mortgages are very similar, not all reverse mortgage lenders are the same. To thoroughly understand all of your options, you need a lender with experience. You want to work with a lender that is helpful, knowledgeable, and professional - one that doesn’t try to

pressure you. 5. I already have a mortgage, so I won’t qualify for a reverse mortgage. False: You can use the reverse mortgage to pay off the balance of your current mortgage or equity loan. By doing so, you will “free up” the money you used to use for monthly payments on the old loan. 6. I have bad credit, so I won’t qualify for a reverse mortgage. Not necessarily. There are limited credit, income, and asset requirements to qualify for a reverse mortgage. If you are 62 or older and you own your home – you may qualify. 7. Reverse mortgages are more expensive than traditional loans. False: Even though a reverse mortgage has up-front costs that are folded into the loan, there are NEVER any monthly loan payments and the loan is insured by the U.S. Government to protect you over your lifetime. You only pay property taxes and home insurance. Other types of home financing that have monthly payments do not offer this level of financial safety and security. 8. I have to fix up my house to qualify for a reverse mortgage. False: Your home doesn’t have to be in perfect shape, however if there are minor repairs that are required by the lender, they can be done after the closing in most cases.

9. A traditional mortgage loan with monthly payments costs less and is always better than a reverse mortgage. False: A traditional (forward) loan with monthly payments may work well in some circumstances, but when you consider all of the monthly payments paid out on a traditional loan over time, you see that the overall cost of a reverse mortgage is not very different. 10. We are not eligible for a reverse mortgage because my spouse is not 62 years old yet. False: While it is true that both borrowers must be 62 years or older, if one spouse is not 62, there are still strategies that can be employed that will enable you to obtain a reverse mortgage. These strategies can be very safe and practical. I believe that if you are retiring, you should be free of all debts but if you do have a mortgage payment on the house you live in and have ample equity, you should at least consider this option of using your equity to pay the mortgage. Call for the option to sell, use up your equity and stay in the house till you decide to leave!

Here are the early signs of debt trouble you should’nt ignore How much debt is too much? Are you worried that you have accumulated more debt than you can afford to pay back? Are you feeling depressed, frustrated, hopeless or maybe even angry about your situation? What can you do about it at this time or at least stop the situation from getting worse than it already is? One of the smartest things you can do in managing your finances is to know at all times how much total debt you have. Look at all your bills every month and review all your credit card statements carefully. Don’t simply pay the bills without carefully reviewing all the charges you incurred in the past month. This helps you become more aware of your monthly spending patterns instead of scratching your head every payday and wondering where in the world your money went. This sounds simple, I know, but trust me- a lot of people don’t do it. And that’s how financial trouble

starts. FACT: Unfortunately, it is common for me to see a lot of people who are not living within their means. They spend more than they earn and then resort to borrowing in order to account for the shortfall. The availability of easy credit and the lure of low monthly payments are too much to resist for some people. So they continue to borrow until they can borrow no more. It’s a vicious cycle that is difficult to stop once you’re caught in it. But before financial disaster strikes, there are usually some early signs of trouble. Here are some of them:

1. You are always behind in paying your credit cards and other bills every month. 2. You can only afford to pay the minimum on your credit cards every month. 3. You are using credit card transfers or cash advances to pay other credit cards. 4. After you pay your credit card bill, you increase your balance by the same amount or more the following month. 5. Your checks are starting to bounce. 6. You’ve tried making purchases with your credit cards and you were declined because you’ve maxed out your credit cards. 7. Bill collectors are calling you. 8. You have no savings. 9. You have started using credit cards to pay for basic necessities such as groceries for which you used to pay cash. 10. You have lost track of how

much you owe. Ignore the signs at your own peril! Most people wait to get help and if they had acted sooner, they would have prevented their financial situation from getting worse. If you need help in getting out of debt, call 866477-7772 and request a free office consultation. As a debt relief lawyer with 18 years of experience, I have counseled and helped thousands of clients while helping them get back on their feet after suffering from debilitating debt. I will personally review your situation and go over possible options with you. I have offices in Glendale, Cerritos and Valencia. (None of the information herein is intended to give legal advice for any specific situation. Atty. Ray Bulaon has successfully helped over 5,000 clients in getting out of debt. For a free attorney evaluation of your situation, please call Ray Bulaon Law Offices at TOLL FREE 1-866-477-7772).

FilAm Tarlac Association anniversary celebration on Friday, October 28, 2016 Teodorica Fortunato or Cheody, for short, president of the FilAm Tarlac Association has announced an anniversary celebration with a dinner dance on Friday, October 28, 2016, 6 p.m., at the Courtyard by Marriott, 14635 Baldwin Park Towne Center, Baldwin Park, CA 91706. “It’s confirmed,” she said, “Baldwin Park Mayor Manuel Lozano will be in attendance.

A devout Catholic, she was a St. Pius V Pastoral Council member, a Pro-life and Grieving Ministries volunteer and a Catechist. Cheody was PTA Super Volunteer at her children’s school and has held several positions in community development projects and business associations. In the City of La Palma, she was Co-Chairperson for Community Activities and Beautification Committee and Chair of its Concert in the Park, Home Spotlight and Arbor

Day committees. She was a Board Member for the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce and the Filipino-American Chamber of Commerce of Orange County. She was awarded one of the best green innovation solutions at the Green/Conservation and Health Exposition. This led to awareness in recycling, mostly of paper goods with the use of ‘green’ plastic containers.

2017 Nissan Sentra adds new SR Turbo model, continues to offer advanced safety and driving technologies The Nissan Sentra, the company’s third best-selling vehicle behind Altima and Rogue, has been a mainstay in the compact sedan segment for 35 years and seven generations. Following a consistent stream of product enhancements year after year – along with steadily increasing sales – Sentra extends Manuel Lava its sporty SR model in 2017 with the addition of a new SR Turbo. The expansion of the lineup for 2017 follows revisions for the 2016 model year to the Sentra exterior and interior, and the addition of an expanded suite of available safety and driving aid technologies. The new SR Turbo features an advanced 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIGTM) Turbo 16-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy inline 4-cylinder engine rated at 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. It is available with both 6-speed manual and uniquely tuned Xtronic transmissions. The SR Turbo also offers upgraded suspension, steering and front brakes. Full information on the 2017 Sentra SR Turbo is available at NissanNews.com. Along with the new SR Turbo, the 2017 Sentra is offered in five models: S 6MT, S Xtronic, SV, SR and SL grades. Enhancements to all 2017

Sentra grades include improved interior quietness due to increased front and rear window glass thickness, and nearly double the storage capacity in the front center console. A Nissan “Family” Exterior The 2017 Sentra continues the extensive exterior redesign from one year ago, bringing its appearance closer in look and feel to its more upscale showroom siblings. All three Nissan sedans – Maxima, Altima and Sentra – reflect Nissan’s new design language first introduced on the dramatic Nissan Murano crossover. The Sentra exterior combines a sense of sportiness with its refined style and proportions. Key features of the Sentra exterior include a bold front fascia, grille, fenders, hood and signature boomerang-shaped headlights. LED lowbeam headlights with LED signature accents are offered on Sentra SR and Sentra SL grades. In the rear, the boomerang-shaped taillights add a more premium appearance. The Sentra exterior design is elegant, modern and refined, reflecting a “professional” character targeted at upwardly bound buyers who aspire to drive something more upscale

Best used cars now available in the market for less By Jon Linkov Consumer Reports

Not everyone enjoys poring over used-car classified ads to find that hidden gem. Even our experts find the hunt through bad cars to be the worst part of the buying experience. An easier solution: Simply determine your budget and choose a vehicle from our lists of the best used cars. We dug through years of test data and hundreds of thousands of survey responses, and cross-referenced those metrics with the availability of electronic stability control, a lifesaving safety feature. The best of the best used car models can be accessed at consumerreports.org.. Each model performed well in our road tests when it was new and had above-average reliability for the model years shown. In addition, each vehicle offered ESC as a standard or optional feature. We also included a list of used cars you should avoid considering because they proved to be particularly troublesome and unreliable. Of course, even for used cars we recommend, there can be stinkers – due to a bad day at the factory or a former owner who didn’t care much for car maintenance. Before you buy, make sure to pay for a thorough inspection by a certified mechanic, so there are no surprises down the road.

than other designs in the segment. Exterior features include chrome door handles and chrome window accents, and available heated outside mirrors with integrated turn signals.

Inside, the 2017 Sentra features one of the largest interiors in class, with 111.0 cubic feet of total interior volume. Helping make this possible is the long wheelbase (106.3 inches), which helps provide both ample rear seat legroom of 37.4 inches and large trunk capacity of 15.1 cubic feet. The rear seat is a standard 60/40-split fold-down design, adding versatility to the large trunk space. The intuitive interior layout emphasizes driver control and exceptional seat comfort for all occupants.

Standard features include a 6-way manual driver’s seat, 4-way manual front passenger’s seat, front and rear door pockets, front center console with padded armrest and cupholders, rear seat armrest with cupholders, air conditioning with in-cabin microfilter and available Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) system.

Game show appearance turns Pinoy into instant celebrity By Abner Galino

A 39-year-old Filipino from Mississippi turned into an instant celebrity after appearing in a popular TV game show “The Price is Right� and winning about $8,600 worth of giveaways from the show. Ernesto Paras Jr., a physical therapist, has been in the local newspapers, local TV and radio stations in Greenville, Mississippi. “I am enjoying all the attention, I know this is going to fade away soon,� Paras jested during the phone interview. But his delight, Paras said, isn’t all about the unexpected popularity but as well as to the chance to promote the Philippines. “Doon mismo sa show, dalawang beses kong binanggit ang Philippines. I am really proud talaga to let everyone know that a Filipino made it to the show,� Paras recalled. It was Paras fifth try to get into the game show. The episode that included Paras was taped on July 20, 2016 and was aired on October 4, 2016. Fortunately, Paras was chosen to be part of the nine persons who would compete on that day. “It wasn’t easy. Kasi even if you’re holding a priority ticket, it doesn’t mean na maglalaro ka na. You have to fight for a slot to play. You have impress the interviewer while lined up,� Paras recalled. According to him, after getting a slot to play, he had to keep his energy up to make sure that he would be called up the stage to play. Paras was the last of the nine contestants to be called up the stage. “But I was really confident when I

walked up the stage. Kasi nag-review talaga ako,� Paras said. Interestingly, Paras did not actually hear “Come on down,� the show’s popular catchphrase, when his name was called. Only the studio audience heard show host Drew Carey yelled that catchphrase. “Actually, hindi mo rin maririnig ‘yung pangalan mo. You’ll see your name from an idiot board,� Paras disclosed. Paras had one chance to bid and got it right. Unfortunately, he didn’t get lucky when he spun the show’s large wheel and failed to qualify for the “Showcase Showdown,� the final segment of the game show. “Pero OK lang. That was a oncein-lifetime experience. I am happy already,� Paras concluded. Paras Jr. won a Zuo Mod cave coffee table with four matching stools, a billiards table, a Razer laptop and an Epson Wireless inkjet printer. Paras has been a longtime fan of the show even when it was still being hosted by Bob Barker who retired in 2007. It turned out, Paras had also appeared in some TV game shows in the Philippines before he left the country 11 years ago. In 2001, Paras twice appeared at “Who Wants to be a Millionaire� and won a combined prize of P70,000. He won another P75,000 playing the Philippine version of “Wheel of Fortune.� He was at the “Game Ka Na Ba?� and successfully made it to the “face-off� portion. He won P10,000. He competed for the “The Weakest Link� and also managed to get to the “face-off� portion of the said game show. He didn’t win any money though.

Auroranians to hold annual gab; launches projects Los Angeles, CA – Lawyer Adolfo V. Nabor has announced the holding of the eighth anniversary foundation of the Aurora Inter-Organizational Alliance-USA, on December 10, starting at 6 p.m. in Mission Hills, CA. Nabor, who is president of the association said, the annual gathering of immigrants from Aurora Province’s eight towns, aims to further strengthen the camaraderie and spirit of the members. “The association have gone along way, and made a dent in social services among our “kababayans� back home, through the concerted effort of US-based Auroranians,� says the self-effacing Los Angeles lawyer. AIOA-USA is at the forefront of humanitarian mission every time a calamity strikes in the typhoon-ridden province, birth place of the country’s Commonwealth President Manuel Luis Quezon. Last year, the Association sent boxes of clothings, goods and cash when typhoonLando ravaged the province. Throughout the eight years of its existence, AIOA-USA had launched various projects such as computer literacy drive, cash donations to indigents, as well as programs which aims to boost the tourism industry in the shoreline-rich province. During the last two years, where Nabor was at the helm of the organi-

zation, a couple of poor but deserving students were also the recipients of scholarship programs. “We have to continue the tradition that we have started,� Nabor says, as he urged members to� be pro-active,� and always be in one with the organization so that “we will be able to deliver the association’s goals effectively and efficiently.� This year’s celebration, according to Nabor, hopes to gather 100 members and guests, and they will be treated with traditional Filipino dishes as well as entertainment amid the sounds of Christmas carols. The celebration will be capped by the election of new officers for the year 2017-2019. The current officers of the organization aside from Atty. Al Nabor are: Ed Fontanilla, Florinda Trajano, vice-presidents; Violeta Feraren, Rhea Carrasco, Secretaries; LucitaCuento, Ellen Ayers, treasurer; Eusebio Fontanilla, Remedios Lee, FlorableFeraren, auditors; ArceliAntonis, Leggie Wong, PRO; Rowena Baldonade, Roland de Guzman, Business Managers; Tony Herminigildo, CecilleTeh, Youth Representative; Mon Pena, Carlos Lumasac, Sgt.-at-Arms.

Ernesto Paras Jr., a Filipino-American physical therapist, of Mississippi, rolls the giant wheel for the jackpot during his chance at “The Price is Right.�

The Price is Right is one of the longest-running American TV game shows. It revolves around contestants competing to “name� the accurate pricing of merchandise to

win cash and prizes. The program premiered on September 4, 1972 on CBS. Bob Barker was its host from the show’s1972 debut until his retirement in June 2007.

Auto Gallery Mitsubishi Corona is Inland Empire’s best Mitsubishi dealership By Abner Galino

THE AUTO Gallery Mitsubishi Corona has not ceased creating ripples, staying at the top of the sales chart for Mitsubishi vehicles in the Inland Empire for the umpteenth time. Filipino Americans comprise a large chunk of the dealership’s satisfied clientele. Colin Hemphill, sales manager, said service is the foremost reason that has been drawing customers to their car dealership. “As soon as they step inside our dealership, they are immediately made to feel at home. We want to earn their trust and confidence so we can briskly tackle any problem or apprehension that they have,” Hemphill added. The dealership has a huge inventory of brand new and used cars. But what was apparently drawing the Filipino American clients there is the large selection of brand new 2015 Lancer Evolution and the 2015 Lancer Evolution Final Edition.

Auto Gallery Mitsubishi Corona’s Sales Manager Colin Hemphill and Filipino Sales Consultant Robbie Osea always ready to help out any problem that you might have with regards to getting a car, be it a brand new one or a used one. They can be reached at 951-372-0008.

“For some reasons, Filipinos very much are attracted to these cars. Maybe because it reminds them of the very successful “box-type” Lancer that became so popular in the Philippines many years ago,” said Robbie Osea, a Filipino sales consultant. The “box-type” Lancer was not

the only Mitsubishi vehicle model that became a hit in the Philippines. The SUV Mitsubishi “Pajero,”--- a model that became synonymous with celebrities and bigshots --- -- and the modest wagon-type Mitsubishi “Adventure” were also popular back home up to this moment.

The popularity of these Mitsubishi models provided the Filipino customers the chance to experience the comfort, durability and protection that come along with the use of Mitsubishi vehicles. “Mitsubishi vehicle designs are outstanding,” Osea stressed, “and you can see that in the way competitors try to create parallel designs to our vehicles.” Elated over the accomplishments of his staff, Hamid Ghadiri, president and owner of Auto Gallery Mitsubishi Corona, also expressed his gratitude for the continuing patronage of the Filipino American community. “Filipinos are welcome here. We will work with them and we will help them thresh out any problem that they have with regards to getting a car, be it a brand new one or a used one,” Ghadiri said. Auto Gallery Mitsubishi Corona is located at 2550 Wardlow Road, Corona, California 92882. They can be reached at 951-3720008.
