Russia, US, Britain and Italy keen on joining Minbizcon

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– Investors from Russia, the United States, Great Britain and Italy have expressed interest to join the annual Mindanao Business Conference (Minbizcon), which is slated here from September 7-9, officials said. Oro Chamber President Robertino Pizarro said Monday the last time the city hosted the event was in 1992, when the main concern then among the island’s business groups was the power shortage crisis.

Wood processing industry in PH dying

PPI and NAC lead campaign to stop fake news. Close to 200 participants from various schools in the province of Batangas attended the second round of the scholastic press outreach program of the Philippine Press Institute with support from Nickel Asia Corporation on “Let’s Get Real on Fake News” at the Batangas State University in Batangas City. The covenant signing highlighted the one-day activity that aims to help students and educators spot fake news and find ways to stop it. The next legs will be conducted in the NCR and Bulacan.

THE government is being urged to review Executive Order (E.O.) No. 23, which places an indefinite log ban in the Philippines, as the order is seen as a major factor for the stagnation of the wood processing industry, according to a newly released study. “As an important downstream activity of the forestry sector, wood processing adds economic value to log, diversifies the products that can be produced from it, and increases the incomes and employment of involved communities,” said the report “Reviving the Wood Processing Industry of the Philippines.” “Despite these economic contributions, however, its practice has been in a decline in recent years,” added the report published by the Philippine Institute for Developmental Studies (PIDS). In the Caraga region alone, the number of processing firms had dwindled from 119 in 2010 to only

Misuari’s temporary liberty ends April 27; MNLF working on extension By Carolyn O. Arguillas of MindaNews

THE six-month temporary liberty granted by the court to Nur Misuari, founding chair of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) ends on April 27 but the MNLF is working for its extension. “Ma-extend Maas” (Misuari’s temporary liberty will be extended), Randolph Parcasio, chair of the peace implementing panel of the MNLF-Misuari faction, said

in a text message to MindaNews Friday afternoon. MindaNews asked if he had filed a motion to seek extension but he has not responded as of 6 p.m. The court gave Misuari temporary liberty “to allow him to attend peace talk sessions with the government.” Parcasio and the government’s implementing panel chair, Underscretary Nabil Tan, the Deputy Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, have yet to meet formally although they have

met informally at least four times. Secretary Jesus Dureza, Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process said the panels will meet in early May. “There’s a plan for that mechanism that engages the MNLF of chairman Nur Misuari and the government panel to officially make a call on the President so that they get some marching orders from the President in accordance with the President’s President Rodrigo Roa Duterte meets with Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) peace roadmap,” chairman Prof. Nur Misuari at the Presidential Guest House in Davao City on March See ENDS, page 3

3 days after abducting him

Abu Sayyaf kills Tausug soldier THE governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) minced no words in condemning the Abu Sayyaf as “cowards who have no honor and no shame” for beheading Staff Sergeant Anni Siraji, a Tausug soldier they abducted last Thursday. In a statement late Sunday night, ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman said Siraji is the latest victim of “what has become a series of indiscriminate acts of terrorism by the Abu Sayyaf, killing even our fellow Bangsamoro.” A member of the 32nd Infantry Battalion, Siraji was a former member of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) who was integrated into the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) following the signing of the Final Peace Agreement between the government and the MNLF in 1996.

“These acts of violence, acts that go against the grain of our humanity, continuously hamper our efforts towards peace and justice within our shores. These bandits — cowards who have no honor and no shame — have betrayed the cause which our most faithful mujahideens have fought for. These terrorists have no claim to the values of Islam, nor to the brave and dignified history of our people,” Hataman said following the announcement from Joint Task Force Sulu that Siraji was beheaded. The governor said government forces will be continuing its intensified law enforcement operations against the Abu Sayyaf in the island provinces and adjacent areas. He assured ARMM residents that the regional government “will continue to support all efforts against terrorism in the region, while ensuring

the safety and welfare of our people.” Siraji was abducted by the Abu Sayyaf at the height of the military operations against the terrorist group on Thursday morning, the Western Mindanao Command (WesMinCom) said in a press release that evening. Siraji was “forcibly taken by about seven persons at 9:30 a.m. when on the road to Igasan in Patikul, Sulu,” it said. It quoted Brig. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, commander of the Joint Task Force Sulu as saying Siraji’s abduction “should not be a reason for us to back out but should further motivate us to continue our relentless and sustained focus military operations against the ASG and the rescue of all kidnap victims.” WestMinCom chief Lt. Gen. Carlito Galvez, Jr., said on April 20 that it was

“frustrating that a Tausug soldier who wants a peaceful community and is working for it really hard so that an influx of progress will come in his home province, will have to be a victim of the bandits. Obviously, the Abu Sayyaf can victimize anyone, even someone from their own tribe.” Galvez called on Sulu residents to “join us in this fight” to prevent the Abu Sayyaf from “creating fear and havoc.” “For now, we will continue to hunt the perpetrators and the rest of the Abu Sayyaf. We will not stop until we get our soldier back to his family,” he said. Three days later, Siraji was killed. The Westmincom has yet to issue a statement on Siraji’s death. It has also not issued a press release on the operations in Lanao del Sur allegedly against the Maute group. (MindaNews)

AFP claims killing 30 terrorists in clashes in Lanao By Teofilo P. Garcia Jr. of PNA

THE military killed 30 alleged members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)-inspired Maute group “in a fighting that has been raging in the last three days,” a military official claimed Monday. Lt. Gen. Carlito Galvez Jr., Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) chief, said a series of clashes erupted between soldiers and the Maute group as the Joint Task Force Zampelan launched air and land offensives against the terror group starting Friday, April 21. Zampelan stands for Zamboanga Peninsula and Lanao, which is headed by Brig. Gen. Rolando Joselito Baustista. Galvez said the first firefight broke out at around 6 a.m. Friday after troops encountered a group of Maute members in Piagapo Complex, Lanao del Sur. Ten Maute members were killed on Friday and another six the next day (Saturday), he claimed. “Reports from the local government indicates that the Maute members are regrouping to craft terror plans on still unidentified targets that is why combat operations were immediately launched [by the task force,” Galvez said. Galvez said that 13 more Maute members were killed when ground troops launched an assault at around 5:40 a.m. Sunday, April 23.He said the troops recovered from the fallen Maute camp an ISIS flag, rifle and fragmentation grenades, assorted bomb-making materials, a passport of an Indonesian national named Muhammad Ilham Syahputra, three motorcycles, two sacks of rice, a video camera, cellular phones and assorted camouflage uniforms. Galvez said that a cadaver of an unidentified person clad in camouflage uniform was found in the fallen camp “during the initial search of the troops.” He said clearing operations continue in the captured camp, which is surrounded by deep running trenches. Galvez said they believed that the Abu Sayyaf groups from Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi have established ties with the Maute group since last year. The continuing operations are also part of President Rodrigo Duterte’s directive for the Armed Forces of the Philippines to destroy the Maute, the Abu Sayyaf and other terror groups within six months. The focused military operations in Lanao del Sur were closely coordinated with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and the ceasefire mechanism.

he told MindaNews on Thursday. “There are two dates in early May that are proposed, depending on the availability of the President,” he said. Ju d ge Ma . R owe n a Modesto-San Pedro of the Pasig Regional Trial Court in Pasig City in an order dated October 27, 2017 granted the “motion to suspend proceedings and enforcement of warrants of arrest against Misuari” for a period of six months from October 27, “unless sooner lifted by the court.” Warrants of arrest had been issued against Misuari and 59 others for rebellion and violation of Republic Act 9851 or the Philippine Act on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law, Genocide and other Crimes against Humanity following the September 2013 stand-off in Zamboanga City between his followers and government troops that left 137 persons dead, 251 injured and 118,889 of the city’s 807,000 population displaced, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council’s October 2, 2013 report. The Department of Justice, the City of Zamboanga and the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process made no object to Misuari’s motion

to the court. San Pedro said the Court “acknowledges that the matter of peace talks is exclusively within the realm of the Executive Department,” and that as manifested by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP), it is a “top priority of the current administration.” Misuari signed the December 23, 1976 Tripoli Agreement under the Marcos administration and the September 2, 1996 Final Peace Agreement (FPA) under the Ramos administration. The MNLF split into three factions — MNLF under Misuari, Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) under Salamat Hashim and the MNLF Reformist Group under Dimas Pundato — after then President Ferdinand Marcos, Sr., using his martial law powers, set up two autonomous regions – in Central and Western Mindanao – instead of one as agreed upon in the 1976 Tripoli pact. The agreement provided for the creation of an autonomous region comprising 13 provinces and nine cities in Mindanao and Palawan; in Mindanao — Basilan, Davao del Sur, Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, North Cotabato, South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sulu, Tawi-tawi, Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur – and Palawan and its Puerto Princesa City.

With the creation of new provinces and conversion of towns into cities, that autonomy area now comprises 16 provinces and 16 cities – 15 provinces and 15 cities of that out of Mindanao’s 27 provinces and 33 cities. When Marcos was ousted and President Corazon Aquino took over, she went to Sulu to meet with Misuari and re-start the peace process. No peace agreement was forged but the 1987 Constitution under the Aquino administration provided for the creation of autonomous regions in Muslim Mindanao and the Cordilleras. The “Final Peace Agreement” was finally forged under the Ramos administration, on September 2, 1996. Running under the administration’s party, Misuari was elected governor of the ARMM a week later, on September 9, 1996. He served as Governor starting September 30 that year and was supposed to have ended his three-year term in March 1999 but stayed on on holdover capacity until November 2001 becasue Congress failed to pass the law that would have amended RA 6734, the Organic Act creating the ARMM, to incorporate provisions in the 1996 peace pact. C ong re ss re s e t t he ARMM polls several times, and Misuari sat as ARMM

Governor on holdover basis from March 1, 1999 until he was arrested off Sabah in November 2001, days before the ARMM election, for alleged illegal entry, following a rebellion he allegedly led in Zamboanga City and Sulu. He has since called for the reclamation of Sabah. Earlier, in April 2001, 15 top MNLF leaders stripped Misuari of the chairmanship of the MNLF, set up the Executive Council to lead the MNLF but made him Chairman Emeritus. Misuari called them traitors. RA 9054, the law that amended RA 6734 and was supposed to have incorporated provisions of the 1996 FPA, lapsed into law in March 2001 under the Arroyo administration, even as the MNLF had opposed its passage as it would, according to them, render the ARMM even less autonomous than the ARMM under RA 6734. Parouk Hussin, MNLF Foreign Affairs chief and one of the members of the MNLF Executive Council, was elected ARMM Governor in November 2001.

ing was held in Jeddah in November 2007 and subsequent reviews were done until January 2016, with 42 consensus points reached on provisions that would be amended in RA 9054. Only three issues are to be resolved under the Duterte adminstration: the authority of a regional government to supervise and control strategic minerals; transitional mechanism and territory. The other factions of the MNLF, led by Muslimin Sema of Maguindanao and now by Yusoph Jikiri, also of Sulu like Misuari, have agreed on incorporating the consensus points into the Bangsamoro Basic Law that will be drafted by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) composed of representatives from the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). The MILF signed with government the Framework Agreement on the Bangsam-

oro (FAB) in October 2012 and the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) in March 2014. In 2015 at the MILF’s Camp Darapanan, Maguindanao, the MILF and MNLF-Sema faction. signed a Joint Declaration that the provisions of the 1996 peace pact with teh MNLF be fully implemented and that the MNLF and MILF peace acgreements be converged. The Duterte administration’s peace and development roadmap proposed by the OPAPP and approved by the President in July pushed for the expansion of the BTC membership from 15 to 21 supposedly to get the MNLF factions into the drafting body that would craft a draft “converged” or “harmonized” law. The BTC has three members from the MNLF under Sema-Jikiri. In November, Dureza announced a separate peace implementing panel for Misuari’s MNLF faction.

Parents must be with kids as they grow up

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Train the child in the way that he should go, and he will not depart from it when he grows old…” (Proverbs 22:6, the Holy Bible). -oooAND KNK PARENTS PRODUCE SPIRITUALLY STRONG KIDS: Two separate Facebook posts from two preachers of the “Anak ng Diyos Kadugo Ni Kristo” (AND KNK, or the Children of God Blood Kin of the Christ) Church prove beyond doubt that parents who take time out to apply what they have learned from the Bible within their respective families, particularly to their growing children, become greatly successful in instilling discipline and love of God among their relatives. The first post came from lady preacher Phen Ambay Altarejos, a member of the AND KNK since she was a very young girl. She narrated, quite gleefully of course, about how her son of about two years old, Baby Gab, responded when she asked him the other night whether, before he was to sleep, he already prayed. Baby Gab, her eldest with her husband, amateur boxer Gab, Sr., then immediately kneeled and put his face down on the bed (in a

Because of this, even the very young members of the families are exposed to praying with face down and raising their hands in thanksgiving by the AND KNK members among them. They are similarly exposed to the manner by which AND KNK members pray, particularly in saying very frequently, “Thank God in the Name of Jesus.” Indeed, children exposed to the Bible, and to conduct befitting children of God and blood kin of the Christ, turn out to be spiritually strong. -oooPARENTS MUST BE WITH THEIR KIDS WHILE THEY ARE GROWING UP: The second post came from AND KNK Pastor Mario Quidlat Conson of Iligan City, but who is now residing in Pangasinan with his Pangalatok wife, AND KNK member Dolores, leading the AND KNK Chapter in the province. Here was his post: “Mga bata pa ang mga anak ay linangin na ang mga potensyal. Tiyak na gaganda ang kanilang kinabukasan. “Children begin to learn social behavior sometime the second year of life. They do learn largely not through instruction but by imitation. Leaving a young child with someone whose

manners and ways are totally different from yours, encourages the child to be like that persons, no matter how often he may be told to be like you. “Ilang ina kaya ang nakakabatid nang laki ng kabutihang nagagawa kapag sila ang sumubaybay sa kanilang anak sa maghapon sa halip na kasambahay? Bukod sa maitutumpak nila ang pag-uugali ay mahuhubog pa nila ang potensyal ng bata.” Truly, children who grew up being closely supervised by their parents become better citizens, especially if the parents are Bible readers and compliers. -oooWATCH “ANG TANGING DAAN”, “KAKAMPI MO ANG BATAS”, AT FB LIVE: Please watch “Ang Tanging Daan”, a roundthe-clock Bible Exposition and prayer session at www. facebook.com/angtangingdaan; and “Kakampi Mo Ang Batas”, a legal counseling and news commentary program at www.facebook. com/kakampimoangbatas.

After that, he stood up, raised his right hand and said, “Thank God in the Name of Jesus”. -oooA FAMILY OF AND KNK PREACHERS AND MEMBERS: Pastora Phen expressed surprised at how Baby Gab reacted to her question to him on whether he already prayed, and how he managed to pray and thank God by himself.

After all, Pastora Phen and her husband Gab, are leading members of the AND KNK, from the time they first met each other, to the time they were engaged, up to the time they were married, and up to now. Then, Pastora Phen’s father, Nestor, is similarly a preacher of the AND KNK. Her mother, Anecita, is a member of the AND KNK, as well as her sister, Nerissa. Too, her nephew by another sister, Carl, is also a member of the AND KNK. Thank God in the Name of Jesus, the whole of Ambay-Altarejos families are AND KNK.

been identified, and they look like the following. The first marriage killer is money problems from spending more than you have. So you’re constantly stressed and under pressure to pay your debts. But friend, nothing in this world is worth having if you pay for it by neglecting and destroying your marriage, or your relationship with your children. A second marriage killer is unhealthy, immature relationships with our parents. This means if either the husband or wife still depend too much on their parents

emotionally or financially. It also means if the parents will not let go and free their son or daughter to live their own life. If you live with that kind of unhealthy pressure, then for your marriage and relationship with your parents, if might be best not to live too close to them. A third marriage killer is addictions to alcohol, gambling, drugs, sex outside your marriage, socializing and partying, overworking, or any other habit in your life that you cannot control. We must decide which we love most: our selfish fun, pleasures, and greed, or our mate and children. And the number four

marriage killer is unrealistic expectations. Many of us get married expecting our wife or husband to satisfy all our needs and make us happy. But the problem is that’s not fair or realistic, because neither we nor our mate are perfect. We’re only human. So when we fail and disappoint each other, we still must stay committed to each other to help one another grow better and build the happy life together that we want. This means even through the very tough times. So the husband daily chooses to give love and attention to his wife, and the wife daily chooses to respect her hus-

band, no matter how many times they fail each other. Every married couple needs the One Who invented marriage to come live and rule their hearts and home. We need Jesus Christ’s real love and power to be able to live His way and protect ourselves from marriage killers. It’s only then you can start enjoying the lasting, satisfying marriage Jesus wants you to have. Just Think a Minute.

The Planet Earth: Ours to Love, to Save By William R. Adan of MindaNews

NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental--The earth is now teeming with 7.5 billion people that need food, shelters and who are endlessly competing to meet non- elemental wants all of which are wrecking havoc to the planet. The runaway population demands that great tracks of land and bodies of wa-

Turning point ters have to be cultivated to raise crops both plants and animals to feed humans and animals alike, however inequitable the access and distribution system maybe. The mass production of the various crops to sustain lives produces uncontrollable gases like carbon dioxide and methane that are primarily responsible

among others, in heating up the earth atmosphere. The forests that provide covers and cools the earth are being destroyed with unprecedented speed to produce shelters and various household items. The surface and the bowels of the earth are irrevocably disturbed likewise in extracting various

minerals to produce other material things- machines and equipment, as well as the energy to run them. All the frantic efforts and activities which are aimed supposedly to enhance, rightly or wrongly the socalled quality of human life pollute the atmosphere flipping the climate spawning thereby untold disasters here and there in recent times. How are we to save See SAVE, page 7

DO no. 174 no solution to contractualization–IBON

As the debate on contractualization continues towards Labor Day,research group IBON stated that the Department of Labor and Employment’s (DOLE)’s Department Order (DO) 174 is only an affirmation of the anti-worker practice of contractualization. Despite workers’ demand and President Duterte’s marching order to end all forms of contractualization, the DOLE’s promotion of the “win-win solution” proposed by the Employers’ Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP), which simply aims to regulate contractualization, will not stop violations of workers’ rights. DO 174 lists prohibitions of various employers’ schemes that undermine workers’ right to security of tenure. These include farming out work to a “cabo” or non-regular proxy, contract-

ing through agencies, repeating short-term hiring, and requiring workers to sign labor rights waiver documents. DO 174 also supposedly stresses on workers’ right to labor standards, self -organization, collective bargaining, and security of tenure thereby prohibiting labor only-contracting. The new DO, however, simply updates the implementation of Article 106 of the Labor Code and rehashes most of the provisions stipulated in DO 18-A of 2011 which both merely seek to regulate contractualization. The amendments merely aim to increase contractors’ registration fee from P25,000 to P100,000; shorten the validity of the certificate of registration of contractors and subcontractors from three to two years; and increase substantial

capital (needed capitalization) from P3 million to P5 million. The DO also purportedly intends to ensure the regularization of workers upon hiring by thirdparty manpower agencies and granting them the same rights and benefits as regular employees, including the right to unionize. But rather than repealing existing laws on contracting and subcontracting, the DOLE ordered the strict implementation of these laws thereby affirming the practice of contractualizaton. To ensure this, it will create additional plantilla positions to fortify the existing pool of Labor Laws Compliance Officers, create regional inspection teams and review the enforcement framework of labor law standards. IBON said that these See SOLUTION, page 7

Letters from Davao

Influential man By Jun Ledesma, PNA

You cannot argue with judgment that comes from the world over. Sorry but I have to disagree with Malacanang spokesman who hinted that the votes which made Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte land on top of Time Magazine search for the Most Influential Person come from his compatriots. By the way the dictionary defines and describes it, an influential person is someone who is dominant, controlling, strong, authoritative and persuasive. Even before the Davao Mayor was sworn-in as President of the Philippines, he was already a subject of wonderment. His City, based on Numbeo, a global data base that runs a continuing and updated reports on cities conditions worldwide, is consistently in the top 10 most safest cities. Not even the garrulous critics of Duterte attempted to dispute that. Davao too is the most livable and child-friendly city in the Philippines and ranked No. 19 in Asia. This awareness is not within the confines of Filipino homes, it too is known to not a few people worldwide. Duterte shattered the myth pervading in archipelagic Philippines that no one outside of Luzon and Visayas can win a presidential derby. Running virtually without a political vehicle save for a moribund Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) he was lacking in national See INFLUENTIAL, page 7

the earth from the atrocious population boom and unbridled consumerism? All problems of course call their own solution. Control human reproduction. The number is beyond what is necessary to maintain a livable planet. This solution, in the advent of modern medicines and technology is simple and easy to effect. Humans need not produce little earthlings to enjoy sex. Reduce toxic gas emission. Move some steps backward in human mobility. Push the pedals of your bike rather than the gas of your car in cruising valleys and hills… Abandon the treadmill, Walk to enjoy the green, or jog to savor the soothing kiss of the early morning breeze. Eschew the TV set, the Wi and thrill yourself with the crackling of the dry leaves in the depth of pristine forests. Swim in the infinite sea not in infinity pools. Eat grass and herbs among the deer and the goats and add more healthy years to your life. Stop being plastic by refraining to use plastic wrappers holding containers, plates and utensils. This way you cease killing the birds and the fish in the oceans Know that what little you do to give a little respite to the environment means a lot to all. We have to stand up and join hands together for the world we love. (MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews. William R. Adan is a retired professor and former chancellor of the Mindanao State University Naawan campus in Misamis Oriental).

party organization and his campaign kitty cannot even pay for his hotel bills. But Duterte has the masses which traditional politicians thought the can buy and he has friends countrywide who open their homes and garage for him to sleep as he went about the campaign trail. This was not a problem for Duterte because he is used to a frugal lifestyle. Up to now the President contentedly lives in a low-cost subdivision, would prefer mongo with dried fish and “inun-onan” a dish of anchovies with slices of ginger, garlic and ripe tomatoes with a pinch of salt wrapped in young banana leaf. Duterte simply is not in the mold of Filipino politicians and many of his compatriots would later discover this with awe and admiration. Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was a doubting Thomas. He flew direct to Davao and personally visited Duterte’s humble home. The nosy photojournalists had their heyday taking pictures of the President’s bedroom including his security mos-

quito net. Duterte’s foray into foreign relations ran oblique to the usual protocols. The diplomatic circles, used to the suave and niceties in the art of communications in dealing with heads of state, were shocked with the straightforward and unembellished language of Duterte. He lashed at US exiting Pres. Barrack Obama and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon for giving a sermon on human rights violations amidst his campaign again crime and drugs. He threw away the adversarial policy of his predecessor Benigno Aquino III and declared a bilateral engagement with China. He openly expressed his admiration of Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin. Surely all these resonate to citizens of these great nations. Brushing aside the lecture of Obama and Ki-moon warning him on the much ballyhooed extra-judicial killings in his campaign against drug syndicates, Duterte instead declared an all-out war against drugs. Ironically this earned admiration from the new US Pres. Donald Trump. Am citing these tidbits of bulletins to prove my point that Philippine President Rodrigo R. Duterte is a leader admired by people worldwide and worthy of the title Most Influential Man. Landing on top of Time Magazine list of 114 political, arts, business, religious and people involve in science and technology, was not just on account of Filipino votes. It is a judgment call of various nationalities worldwide which had been following and admiring this iconic leader who is loved by his people and who is not afraid to confront the mighty who had been lording it over the destinies of men and nations. No amount of character assassination by his political adversaries and interest groups can pull this man down and the world knows that. Not even Time Magazine which stoically adhered to the twisted stories and statistical figures of perjured witnesses and hurting political opponents of Duterte can tarnish the image of the Philippine President. In the end and as this survey would prove our President must have done something good. And his good deeds are not to be dampened with this laurel. He came home just recently from the Middle East taking with him the first batch of many hundreds of undocumented OFWs and saved not a few from the gallows and death row. And let’s not forget that in his diplomatic foray into China, Japan, the Middle East and other Asean countries he opened up new markets for Philippine products. The most significant among these is the unprecedented billions of dollars in financial assistance and business investments from China

Tuesday, April 25, 2017 which not too long ago was perceived to be an enemy. Nationals from these countries must have looked very kindly and with admiration at our President, the one who hails from the hinterlands of Mindanao. The Philippines most adored leader and now the world’s most influential man. (Mr. Jun Ledesma is a community journalist who writes from Davao City and comments from the perspective of a Mindanaoan)

measures only legitimize the removal of employeremployee relationship between outsourced employees and principal companies. The order abs olves principal companies from directly giving the workers their due and leaves the task of respecting labor rights to the agencies. Workers’ rights to just wages and earned benefits and to form unions, negotiate for better work conditions, and to strike are also removed, observed IBON. Workers seek an end to the prevalence of jobs that are insecure, low-paying, and lacking in benefits, through which capitalists reap profit. According to IBON, however, latest available data from June 2014 shows that one of three (34.5%) rank and file workers are nonregular. IBON also estimates that 63% or 24.4 million Filipinos are non-regular, agency-hired, informal sector or unpaid family workers who are in low-paying and insecure work with poor or no benefits as of 2016. This the new DO as well as the law that it extends do not address, IBON noted. The group underscored the need for more comprehensive economic reforms to end not only contractualization but the country’s cheap labor and anti-union policy that attract investors to do business at the expense of workers and their rights. source: ibon.org

“It is different now as we are in a more stable and more progressive era. Now we are promoting Mindanao “as a basket of investment opportunity,” he said. Pizarro said that it helped that President Rodrigo Duterte, a Davaoeño, won the elections last year. After he took over the presidency in July, many countries have pledged to pour in their investments in Mindanao, Pizarro added. He said the United States Agency for International Development is currently exploring how it could assist in the possible expansion of the Laguindingan airport and the Mindanao Container Terminal, which are both located in Misamis Oriental. Pizarro added that Russia is also interested in offering a state-of-the-art agricultural technology to local

farmers, whose produce they would buy. Antonio Uy, Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry vice-president for Mindanao, said that the British Embassy and the Italian Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines also committed to attend business conference that will be held at the Xavier Estates Country Club. The discussions will focus on latest technologies, agribusiness, global challenges and emerging opportunities for Mindanao. There will also be a business matching. Event chair Ruben Vegafria, an ex-Oro Chamber president, said they are expecting 1,500 delegates to the business convention.

27 firms in 2015, said study author Danilo Israel. One reason perceived is E.O. No. 23, which declares a moratorium on the cutting and harvesting of timber in the natural and residual forests of the country. “The implementation of EO 23 affected not only the supply of wood products to the wood processing industry but also increased unemployment in the rural areas. It also encourages the practice of illegal logging,” noted the paper. In addition, “the unstable and inconsistent policies related to the wood processing industry have worsened the situation.” For instance, said the report, frequent policy changes related to the harvesting of logs have discouraged investments in wood processing. “The Philippine government has neglected the industry partly because of the strengthened environmental lobby favoring the log ban. Yet, at no other time in its existence [than now is the industry] in dire need of attention and assistance.” The PIDS policy note said that because of neglect, “the country’s wood processing industry value chain is saddled with numerous issues constraining its development.” Among these is outdated production equipment and technology leading to inefficiencies and low recovery rates that generate a large volume of wastes. Wood processing firms should be encouraged to retool, said the document. Micro, small, and mediumsized enterprises (MSMEs) can tap the Department of Science and TechnologySmall Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program for their technological improvement. More importantly, “the industry needs a skills and technology road map, which can establish collaborative arrangements between industry members to develop new technologies and promote highly skilled human resource.” Lack of collateral and the tedious loan application process is another hindrance.

“MSMEs can open up to foreign investors and explore various government incentive programs to modernize. Meanwhile, financial institutions should streamline and simplify loan application processes,” the report suggested. In addition, the inconsistent and inadequate supply of logs, both local and imported, prevents some firms from operating at full capacity, increases average costs, and hinders processing firms from benefiting from economies of scale. Moreover, some firms have reduced or stopped exporting due to their failure to compete with the lowerpriced products of other Southeast Asian countries. MSMEs also lack the capability to develop new markets due to limited market intelligence. The country’s importation of cheaper yet substandard products, particularly plywood, from China creates an unfair competition for local manufacturers as well. To overcome all of these issues, the policy document recommends that firms promote product quality and work for certification, such as the Forest Stewardship Council-Chain of Custody certification that labels products as supportive of responsible forest management. It also calls on the government and trade associations to aggressively assist firms in marketing. The government can help MSME representatives attend relevant fora and symposiums through financial sponsorship and other means. For its part, the customs administration should strictly implement Philippine standards on imported wood products to prevent the entry of substandard wood into the country. Besides this, the government should actively support nongovernment and private reforestation efforts and consider the wide use of contract farming of trees. “Under contract farming, firms can help farmers secure pasture leases for vacant government lands they can convert into tree plantations,” said the paper. An aggressive research and development (R&D) program for non-wood raw material inputs like rattan, bamboo, and nipa should be conducted. However, the development of these materials should consider their potential effects on the natural environment Firms must also develop innovative means to reduce gasoline consumption and make their operations more energy efficient. Labor power should likewise be encouraged. Finally, the government should strictly monitor the industry’s waste management processes. As part of R&D efforts, the utilization of waste as an input in the production of new products should be studied, said the research paper.

respective fields. He noted the Department of Education received the lion’s share of the fiscal budget, saying his administration believes that “education would save Filipinos someday from the clutches of poverty.” He said that through the Palaro, the annual biggest sports event of DepEd, the students would be able to learn competitiveness, values, discipline and sense of goodwill. The president also urged the students to stay away from illegal drugs, as this will do them no good. He stressed that the government is also serious in curbing graft and corruption as one of the ways to advance the country’s economy. The President also called for vigilance and sought the help of the citizens in fighting terrorism. For her part, DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones thanked the President for coming. She noted that the Palaro “would encourage more students to take sports as a honorable profession and a viable source of income.” She lamented, however, that “only a few students in senior high school are taking the sports strand, with only 3,175 or 0.2 percent of 1.5 million Grade 11 learners taking up the strand. Senator Loren Legarda said that the coming of the President with his commonlaw-wife Honeylette and their daughter shows “that they are giving importance to Antiquenos like her.” Antique Gov. Rhodora J. Cadiao said the hosting of Antique, a small province, should inspire other provinces to also bid for the event. (PNA)
