Future Bangsamoro can enact laws for protection of Lake Lanao

ARAWI City, Lanado del Sur -The future Bangsamoro government has the authority to enact laws for the management and protection of Lake Lanao which is classified as an inland water, Government of the Philippines legal team head Anna Tarhata Basman said during a public consultation of the House of Representatives’ Ad Hoc Committee on the Bangsamoro Basic Law in this city. Basman addressed the issue on Lake Lanao which is among the top concerns of local executives, members of academe, religious sector, federation of sultanates, and youth who generally cited support to the

passage of the Bangsamoro bill, which is also known as House Bill 4994, OPAPP said in a statement. Basman cited a provision in the Bangsamoro bill that pertains to Lake Lanao as inland waters. Article XIII, Section 22 of the bill says: ”The Bangsamoro Government shall have exclusive powers over inland waters, including, but not limited to lakes, marshes, rivers and tributaries. The Bangsamoro Parliament shall enact laws on the regulation, management and protection of these resources. It may create a Bangsamoro office and authorities for specific inland bodies of water that shall exercise management

powers over these bodies of water.” It further says that “the Bangsamoro Government shall ensure that the utilization of these waters shall primarily be for the benefit of the people in the Bangsamoro and shall ensure that communities in the Bangsamoro in whose territory these waters are found are given an equitable share from the revenues generated from such utilization.” However, Basman clarified the distinction between Lanao Lake as an inland water and as an energy source. She noted that as an energy source, existing hydropower plants in Lake Lanao which are connected to the national grid will remain un-

der the concerned national government agencies. According to Section 3 of Article V of the bill, “when power generation, transmission, and distribution facilities are connected to the national transmission grid, the Central Government and the Bangsamoro Government shall cooperate and coordinate through the intergovernmental relations mechanism.” Lake Lanao falls within the provincial boundaries of Lanao del Sur, one of the five provinces in the current Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and is part of the envisioned core territory of the proposed Bangsamoro political entity.

Genuine autonomy Local executives and sectoral representatives in Marawi expressed support to the passage of the BBL and the establishment of the Bangsamoro as Basman conveyed assurance that it shall “embody real autonomy” to address the Bangsamoro’s right to selfdetermination. “Bulk of devolved powers will be provided to the future Bangsamoro government, because we Bangsamoro people know how we will govern our areas,” she said. She cited genuine political and fiscal autonomy for the Bangsamoro government as the essence of the proposed BBL.? Cagayan de Oro City

second district Representative Rufus Rodriguez, Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee on the BBL, expressed his appreciation of the “overwhelming support in this province to the BBL,” as well as to the nineteen lawmakers who attended the public consultation. Eight members of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission, the body who drafted the BBL, were also present as resource persons. Rodriguez emphasized that establishing genuine autonomy for the future Bangsamoro is “not a grant, but an affirmative action to address historical injustices” and end the decadesold conflict in the south.

CAGAYAN de Oro City Engr. Yolanda T. Egam officially took her full-pledged oath of office on November 17, 2014, administered by DPWH-10 Regional Director Evelyn T. Barroso at the Regional Office, Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City.

Engr. Egam took over the place vacated by DE Bonifacio R. Lora due to mandatory retirement. Also present during the oath taking are the witnesses: Chief Administrative Officer Atty. Ernest Anthony L. Lorea, Legal

Officer III and Acting Personnel Officer Atty. Mary Therese Quizo, CDO 1st DEO Assistant District Engr. Virginia G. Batocail and CDO 1st Section Chiefs. DE Egam was appointed as the OIC-DE of CDO 1st

DEO in January 11, 2013 by virtue of a Special Order No. 012, series of 2013 of DPWH Secretary Rogelio L. Singson per recommendation of RD Evelyn T. Barroso. She was the Chief of Maintenance Division before her promotion. She

was also once the Planning Division Chief from 2010 to 2012 and the Maintenance Division Chief from 1982 to 2009. Over the years, she has dedicated her services to this department for 38 fruitful years already and still counting.

Now that she has taken her oath, DE Egam formally has the authority of exercising her powers in the office to further improve the quality and efficiency of infrastructure services rendered to the public. DPWH-10

Campaign...

through the program’s dynamics, both national and local governments working with civil society organizations are able to effectively address local needs. “The program forges government-CSO partnerships for good governance,” she said. The signature campaign aims to rally support for, and sustain the gains of the program through, a legislative measure that will institutionalize grassroots participation in the annual budget process. The program, a budget reform initiative of the Aquino administration, was intro-

duced by the late Jesse Robredo. It is now being pursued by Secretary Mar Roxas of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), which acts as the program’s project management. Under the program, local government units (LGUs) receive funding support from various national government agencies. In 2014, the National government had allocated over P20 billion for various antipoverty projects in 1,266 cities and municipalities. Next year, under the proposed National budget, P20 billion will benefit more than

1,600 LGUs, under which, a city is entitled to P30 million while a municipality will get funding support amounting to P12.5 million. Marco Polo Ferrer, National Secretary of Kilos Mamamayan, said people in Mindanao support the call to make the program a part of the budget process by law because it will ensure continuity. “This will protect the people’s budget, ensuring that similar anti-poverty projects identified by the people themselves in partnership with local governments will get funding support and implemented in

the communities where they matter,” he said. “It is a matter of letting the people in the communitieshave a say in what kind of programs or projects they want implemented in their communities,” he said. Many communities in farflung areas in Mindanao still have no access to basic social services, including access to clean, drinking water which has been identified as a priority under the 2013 and 2014 Local Poverty Reduction Action Plans (LPRAP) prepared by LGUs and CSOs sitting as members of the Local Poverty Reduction Action Teams (LPRAT). Halving the number of people with no access to water and sanitation is one of the targets under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015. The DILG is implementing the Sagana at LigtasnaTubig para saLahat (Salintubig) program which aims to provide access to clean water for the 455 identified “waterless” barangays all over the country. The summit, a CSO-led initiative was organized by the DILG Region 12 Office or SOCCSKSRARGENwhich stands for the provinces of South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Saranggani and General Santos.

Some 300 members of civil society organizations and LGU representatives in various towns and cities in the region took part in summit, making it the first multi-sectoral, multi-faith, all regions, Mindanao-wide initiative. During the event which paved the way the sharing of success stories on the program’s implementation in Mindanao, DILG Region 12 - Regional Director Reynaldo M. Bungubung gave participants an update of the status of various projects being implemented under the program by the DILG in the region. Kilos Mamamayan, a national network of basic sector organizations, is spearheading the signature campaign. It has launched similar “MilyongLagda” campaigns in Nueva Ecija for Central Luzon, Naga City for the Bicol Region last October; Iloilo City for Western Visayas, Cebu City and Dumaguete City and Tagbilaran City for Central Visayas early last month, and Tagaytay City for the CALABARZON Region last November 29. Ferrer said the manifesto of support signed by the people will be submitted to the DILG chief and lawmakers once the desired number of signatures has been achieved.

Cebu Pacific Air cooperates with PNP to apprehend fraudsters The Philippines' leading airline, Cebu Pacific Air (PSE:CEB), is cooperating with the Philippine National Police's (PNP) AntiCybercrime Group to apprehend fraudsters who pose as official sales agents of Cebu Pacific and initiate fake transactions on behalf of the airline on Facebook. CEB forwarded names, IP addresses and the transaction details of all reported fraudsters to the Philippine National Police for their immediate action, and also to Facebook for immediate account termination. The fraudulent pages use Cebu Pacific branding to pose as an official transaction page for the airline. Fraudsters also request payments to be transferred via remittance to specific individuals, and not to Cebu Pacific. Once apprehended and proven to have violated the Cybercrime Law(Republic Act No. 10175), fraudsters may face imprisonment of up to 12 years and penalties of at least P200,000; or both. Fraudsters may also be prosecuted and held liable for violation of other penal laws. "We encourage the travelling public to book their flights through the official Cebu Pacific Air website or reservation hotlines, and to transact with legitimate sales agents to prevent fraud and inconvenience. We are working closely with the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group to protect our passengers from fraudsters whether online or in other channels," said Atty. Jorenz Tanada, Cebu Pacific Air, VP – Corporate Affairs. Those who want to report fraudsters may get in touch with the PNP Anti-Cybercrime hotline: +6327230401 local 5313; or file a complaint via email: investigation. acotd.acg@gmail.com or through their website: http://pnpacg.ph/ For flight bookings and information on CEB, please visit www.cebupacificair.com or call +(632)7020888 or +(6332)2308888.

RUPERT Domingo is feeling nostalgic these days. At a small corner in Hayes street, Kuya Rupert (as I call him because he is also my wedding godfather) looks at a picture of then President Arroyo serenely laughing while sharing a whitewater raft with then First Genteman Mike Arroyo, Rep. Dato Arroyo and then Tourism Secretary Richard Gordon. Kuya Rupert was at the farthest end of the picture. But he’s one of the lucky ones at the time because there was not even a single security escort where the President was riding and he was the only rafting expert at that particular

conveyance. The rest of the PSG guys were in four other rafts at each corner of the President’s one. Then there were four choppers overhead, two flying low, the rest flying high. That was in 2001 when the rafting industr y in CDO was at its zenith. Today 14 years later, it’s a sad state of the whitewater rafting industr y. First Rafting Adventure sadly did a premonition of its own business with the name itself. A second player came. Then a third. Then a fourth. And so on. Now there are already six whitewater rafting firms in CDO. They are traversing the same river. So each

company has its own slice of the pie. Then there’s a seventh one coming. Add in the dwindling number of customers and you’re in for a possible bankruptcy on the loom. In the past, there were at least four batches of whitewater rafters for each firm daily. Now, there is even a day that a rafting company doesn’t have a single customer. In the past, people would usually tag on Friendster, “Done whitewater rafting!” or “Dahilayan was a sure blast!” Now people would go like, “Here in Lifestyle District chillin’!” I’m not a social psychologist so I really don’t have any idea why

tourists are not anymore lured to the outdoors in these times. Perhaps they love the nightlife more nowadays. And then there are the external uncontrollable factors. The tragic death of Ms. Aizza Mae Balbin sent a shock jolt in the outdoor adventure community throughout the country. Add to that the bombing at Limketkai a year prior. But I believe more can still be done to bring back the whitewater rafting glory in CDO. If Palawan with all that wide stretch of rural island can do it in their Underground Cave, we can.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - Declining a social invitation may be the wisest thing to do because it’s all too easy to scatter your energy today. However, you might end up working too hard with little to show for your efforts unless you make a conscious decision to follow through on what you start. PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - Although your friends and workmates are fantastic sources of wisdom now, the financial decisions you must make are yours alone. However, you can still share your perspective as long as you don’t get distracted by a temporary feel-good solution. ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - other times a much-needed reality check stops you in your tracks. Although you are intent on reaching your destination, you may end up healthier and happier if you slow down to enjoy yourself where you are. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - You may have high hopes about opening your heart and sharing your feelings today as the Moon harmonizes with romantic Venus and excessive Jupiter. However, someone’s cold shoulder might cause you to change your mind at the last minute. GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - You are so excited by all the possibilities ahead that you could lose touch with the relationship dynamics right in front of your nose. You expect so much from your friends today that they don’t have a chance of living up to your high ideals.

lots to offer to tourists. We have Bukidnon to the south. We have the beautiful beaches, volcanoes and springs of Camiguin to the north. It’s just a matter of more strategic marketing ingenuity to capture more tourists to go the outdoor adventure way. Our mind may be myopic and parochial and we can only see the nightclub music blasts and the flashing of red lights here.

Daily HOROSCOPE CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - You can work yourself up into a state of agitation today because you fear being rejected, especially if you have something significant to say. You wish you could keep your feelings to yourself so you didn’t have to suffer the embarrassment of possibly overstepping someone else’s boundaries. LEO (July 23 – August 22) - There are options to be considered and plenty of work still to be done. Although you may feel a strong sense of urgency to push ahead now, it’s wiser to continue developing your plans and wait to take action until all the details are in place.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - Your decisions are complicated by someone else’s assumptions or limitations.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - It doesn’t matter if you are running behind on a job or not; everything still takes longer now than you originally planned. But don’t let discouragement slow you down even more, because you can be productive enough over the next several days to make up lost ground. CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - Your resistance to distractions crumbles today as you grow increasingly bored with your current work. Although you have the ability to exert your willpower, your self-discipline is waning, especially if your friends entice you with temptations of fun.

DEVELOPING A WINNING MINDSET http://www.chinkeetan.com/

ne of my greatest passion is to teach about how to change the mindset of an individual. I firmly believe that our mind is the central nervous system that controls and dictates the function of our entire body. Everyone has a strong desire to win and succeed in life. Do you want to win in life? You can never win in life, with a defeated mindset. That is the reason why we need to prepare ourself

to do whatever it takes to have it. Mind is really simply amazing. That is the very reason before you start any project or enterprise, The question we need to ask is “What is your state of mind?” Your state of mind will determine the outcome of whatever you start. What you think is what you will feel. What you feel is what you will do. What you do will determine the outcome of whatever you think. No one can stop you from achieving what you want in life. Situations, circumstances and people can stop you temporarily but only YOU can stop yourself permanently. Think more about winning rather than losing. Winning is only a result of what is happening in the inside. Winning is an inside job. (John Maxwell)

MENTALLY. You won half of the battle if you are mentally prepared. Mental preparedness and toughness are key ingredients to your success. Whether you admit it or not. The battlefield happens inside your mind. (Joyce Meyer) Winning and losing starts on how a person think. If you think you can do it, no one can stop you on your tracks since you are focused and determined

THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. Please check your way of thinking during the past few days or weeks? Are you thinking more on the bad or the good? Are you consumed with fear or with excitement? Are you focus on the difficulties or the opportunities? You got to be mentally, emotionally, financially and physically prepared. In my next blog, I would like to share with you on how you can prepare yourself for mental toughness.
