Pres Duterte’s visit to boost morale of OFWs in Middle East -- Bishop A Catholic prelate is convinced that the week-long visit of President Rodrigo Duterte to three countries in the Middle East will greatly boost the morale of the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) working there. “It will be a source of strength for our OFW and sign of solidarity with them when our President sees and speaks with our OFWs,” said Bataan Bishop Ruperto Santos. The chairman of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the PhilippinesEpiscopal Commission on Migrants and Itinerant People (CBCP-ECMI) is also hoping that Chief Executive will help those Filipino workers who are suffering in jail. “Witnessing the sacrifices and sufferings of OFW will surely move our president to intercede for compassion to the plight of our OFW and clemency to

those who are imprisoned,” he said. Santos added, “Knowing the kindness and justified intervention of the president about tanim bala and unduly opening of balikbayan boxes, we CBCP-ECMI believe that our president will intercede to host countries of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Bahrain and Qatar for promotion and respect for rights of OFW, and just and fair labor practices.” At the same time, the CBCP-ECMI head has offered prayers for President Duterte’s safe and fruitful trip to the Middle East. “We a ls o of fe r ou r prayers for safety and success of the trips of our president, as we always pray for security and safety of our OFWs,” Santos said.

An official of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said pushing through with the October 2017 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections will put to test Republic Act 10742 known as the SK Reform Act of 2015. Comelec Spokesperson James Jimenez noted that it will particularly apply the country’s first anti-political dynasty law. “We already have this guideline for (political dynasty) and it would be good if we can test this prohibition of up to second degree of consanguinity,” he said in an interview. The poll body official added, “This could hopefully be the first time (it

can be implemented).” Section 10 of RA 10742 states that one qualification of an SK candidate is that he/she must not be related within the second civil degree of consanguinity or affinity to any incumbent elected national official or to any incumbent elected regional, provincial, city, municipal, or barangay official, in the locality where he or she seeks to be elected. On the other hand, the Comelec reiterated that they will just follow whatever the decision of lawmakers as to the fate of the village and youth polls, as there are moves to postpone the electoral exercise anew. “We are neutral in respect

DAVAO CITY– The Davao City government formally created the regulatory unit that will strictly enforce the ordinances on anti-smoking and selling of alcoholic beverages, the City Information Office said on Wednesday. The Vices Regulation Unit (VRU), formed on Monday through Executive Order No. 10, received an instruction from Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio to work closely with the Davao City Police Office (DCPO). Retired Navy Capt. Voltaire Engracia was named as head of VRU that will be under the Office of the City Mayor. “Engracia will work hand in hand with the DCPO and

police stations in the city for the implementation of the ordinances covered by the EO,” Duterte-Carpio said. It can be recalled that last month, the mayor gathered bar owners and managers in the city as complaints mounted regarding the selling of liquors beyond the specified time set by the ordinance. The VRU will specifically monitor the effective and efficient enforcement of City Ordinance No. 004-13 or the Liquor Ban Ordinance passed in 2003 and City Ordinance No. 064-06 in relation to Section 7 of Ordinance no. 0292-06 or the Davao City Children’s See creates, page A5
