Duterte says Sen. Pangilinan law gave rise to criminality By ALEXANDER LOPEZ

DavNor dads ‘tight lip’ on Floreindo-Alvarez rift
President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday blamed Senator Francis Pangilinan for hurrying the passage of the Juvenile Justice Welfare Act which he said caused the rise of criminality in the Philippines. “The reason why there is so much criminality… nobody respects the law anymore. It’s because of that Pangilinan law,” Duterte said during the investiture ceremony of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines in Malacañang. He said that because of the Pangilinan law, young adults aged 15 and below who commit crimes such as murder and rape can simply be returned to their parents without any accountability. “The problem with Pangilinan, he was too (much) in a hurry, pinalusot niya ‘yon kaya we produced about -- 15 years ago ‘yon -- we produced about five, six generations of people who committed crimes and released on the same day irrespective of Silence on Floirendo-Alcarez rift runs unimpeded in the august hall of DavNor SP during the regular See law, page A7

The Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Davao Del Norte chose to keep the lid on the simmering rift between the two of their representatives during the regular session here last Monday afternoon. It is no more hush-hush talks on the conflict between first district Cong. Pantaleon Alvarez and second district Cong. Tonyboy Floirendo as it has been prominently lapped up as national news in both mainstream and social media news as developing stories. But the SP session proceeded and ended without a single word on the conflict. During the session’s privilege hour, no one from the 11 attending board members stood, at least, to call for ceasefire.

DAVAO CITY -- The government will open four drug rehabilitation centers in Mindanao in the last quarter of 2017, Health Secretary Paulyn Jean Ubial said Tuesday. Ubial told a press conference at the Royal Mandaya Hotel here that the centers are located in Calinan District in Davao City, Malaybalay City in Bukidnon, Sarangani and Agusan del Sur. Each center has a capacity of 250 to 350 beds and will be built with support from the Chinese government and the private sector, she said. She said the center in Bukidnon will be funded by a Chinese businessman. The one in Davao will get support from the state-run
Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. and Resorts World Manila, and those in Sarangani and Agusan del Sur rehab centers from the Chinese government. She said the country has a total of 30 state-run and 14 private rehabilitation centers. “The private are really very small – less than 1,000 beds,” she said. Ubial said they will employ a six-month community-based rehabilitation program that must be implemented by the cities and municipalities. Barangay health workers and officials will assist the “mild” and “moderate” drug users to help them quit using illegal drugs. She said the Department of Health (DOH) has some P3 billion budget for drug See rehab, page A7
