Water in Iligan contaminated?

By Lorry V. Gabule of PIA-10

THE City Health Office (CHO) of Iligan City has warned the public that a diarrea or loss bowel movement might occur due to water contamination.

Somehow, this would be the effect after the bursting of 24-inch blue pipe of Iligan city’s water line at Barangay Suarez, last July 16, which caused some leaks, and might be the source of bacteria contamination.

It took three days to fix and connect the pipe, and at the moment, some areas affected still experience low water supply.

Lawmaker slams PNoy over plan to import rice

By RUEL V. PELONE Managing Editor

A PART Y LI ST l aw ma ker on Wednesday slammed President Benigno Aquino III over his plan to import 1.55 million metric tops of rice.

Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares asked Aquino to stop the importation and use the funds to help farmers instead of giving it to Vietnamese or Thais.

Colmenares also the House senior deputy minority leader claimed the large importation is “very suspicious” saying the Aquino government has earlier boasted that

palay production increased by 1.41 percent this quarter compared to last year.

“The Aquino officials used to criticize former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for large importation of overpriced rice imputing corruption,” he explained, adding, “now they themselves are doing the same over importation.”

The lawmaker said helping the Vietnamese or Thais will drive Filipino farmers to bankruptcy.

Colmenares asked: “The Department of Agriculture (DA) is saying that we are already 96 percent rice self sufficient this year so what See plan, page A11

Church leaders plead to suspend military operations in Normin

By Crescencio “Cris” Diaz of PNA

CAGAYAN de Oro City––Church leaders in Northern Mindanao are pleading for the suspension of military operations to secure the release of the army soldier held captive by the communist rebels in Misamis Oriental.

In a letter to President Benigno Aquino III dated July 20, 2015, the Philippine Ecumenical Peace Platform (PEPP) appealed to the President for the suspension of military and police operations in the region to ensure the safe release of Pfc. Adonis Jess Lupiba.

The communist New People’s Army (NPA) captured Lupiba when the rebels attacked a team of government troopers in the hinterland village of Alagatan in Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental last July 11, 2015.

AGAYAN de Oro City remained to be one of the renowned cities in the country in terms of economic development, good governance and infrastructure.

This, after the city has earned the sixth spot in the 2015 ‘Top 10 Most Competitive Cities’ in the Highly Urbanized City category conducted during the Regional Competitiveness Summit in the Philippine International Convention Center, Pasay City on July 16.

The ‘Top 10 Most Competitive Cities’ in the country for this year include 1) Manila, 2) Makati, 3) Cebu, 4) Quezon, 5) Davao, 6) Cagayan de Oro, 7) Para-

ing has changed for this year, Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno is still pleased in the yearly ‘competitiveness index’ results where the city has garnered the second place in government efficiency.

“We shouldn’t be discouraged but rather be encouraged because our city has still managed to land on top among leading cities all over the country, in spite of the stiff competition,” Moreno said.

In line with this, Moreno encouraged the city officials to work hand in hand to further uphold a good governance in the city.

“It is you (city official and employees) who can make things work for is.

Everybody has a role or task to do in order to increase our level of competitiveness,” Moreno expressed.

GREECE, Greece, European Union, Greece again and no ending.

Greek banks re-opened amid an effort to reboot the economy. Yes, they have re-opened after a threeweek shutdown that saw the country plunged into financial chaos. However, capital controls are to remain in place, with taxes set to shoot up.

S i n c e l a s t Mon d ay (means to say during one single week), the Greeks were able to withdraw up to 420 EURO ($465) at once each week - the same amount possible as during the shutdown, but without the ordeal of having to line up every day for 60 EURO. These are daily more or less 3,000 Pesos. Try to imagine how to survive if you are staying in this European country... .

A block on money transfers out of the country and on the opening of new accounts is to remain in place.

which we all hope will be one of normality,” Louka Katseli, the head of the Greek banking association, told the Greek nationalSkai Television. Yes, without hope, you really might get lost in Greece nowadays.

Many citizens left already to other European countries just to start a new survival.

Meanwhile, the Greek government was expected to make a 4.2 billion Euro payment to the European Central Bank (ECB) today (Monday, July 20 while writing this piece!). The repayment is possible after the European Union granted

gela Merkel - who now says a Grexit from the Eurozone is off the table - maintained her government’s tough line on debt relief for Greece.

She said a “classic haircut” reduction of 30 to 40 percent of the country’s debt was not possible “in a monetary union.” However, she did not rule out a “voluntary write down for private creditors, extended maturities and lower interest rates.” Merkel has been overloaded already with tons of criticism. And not only she!

Technical teams from the hated troika of creditors representing the EU, IMF and ECB - are expected in Athens in the coming weeks.

Athens a short-term loan of 7.16 billion Euro on Friday last week.

That amount will also make possible a payment due to the International Monetar y Fund (IMF), which has been outstanding since June.

At the same time, the Greeks are having to get used to a tough fiscal package, with further austerity.

The level of financial hardship the new reforms are expected to place on the Greek people have caused a split within Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ Syriza party. Tax soars on a variety of items.

Greeks will now have to pay 23 percent in valueadded-taxes (VAT) on a whole range of items, from cocoa and sugar to condoms and funerals. However, VAT, sales taxes will be reduced on certain products, such as medicine, books and newspapers. Anyway, the tough situation is getting tougher, especially for those living on the verge of ruin and madness.

Commentary

Pateros.

Enticing as this federalized Philippines may be, I must reiterate that the reform contemplated in Joint Resolution No. 10 is still not within reach. According to one of the Whereas clause in its explanatory note, “the shift from the unitary system of government to the federal system requires revising the Constitution;”.

And the recent debacle in Congress pertaining to “economic” amendments, which was lambasted by an academic from Mindanao as the “Gang rape of the Constitution”, has shown that Filipinos are not yet ready to undertake a constitutional revision process.

But the drive to reach the federalism goal should not easily be stumped by this reality. For according to noted expert on federalism, Professor Cheryl Saunders from the Melbourne Law School, in a paper entitled, Options for Decentralizing Power: Federalism to Decentralization, federalism is just one example of a decentralization arrangement among a spectrum of arrangements establishing greater or lesser degrees See PROCESS, page A11

on Canadian waste

Green groups slam PNoy’s ‘spineless, trash diplomacy’

By DEE AYROSO of Bulatlat.com

Environmentalist groups picketed the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) main office in Quezon City on July 20 to protest the government agency’s approval to have tons of Canadian hazardous waste dumped in the country’s landfill.

The Kalikasan People’s Network for the Environment (Kalikasan PNE) said President Benigno Aquino III has “demonstrated a clear lack of backbone” by assenting to dispose in Philippine soil of 98 container vans of Canadian trash, which entered the country in violation of local and international laws.

Twenty-nine of the 98 container vans had already been dumped at the Metro Clark Waste Management Corporation in Capas, Tarlac province early this July, amid calls from environmental groups to ship the waste back to Canada.

Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate, who joined the protest, also filed on Monday (July 20, 2015) House Resolution 2220 calling on the committee in ecology to investigate the dumping of the “toxic imported garbage” from Canada.

In March, before Aquino’s meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Canada, the Denr said the Canadian waste was “not toxic” and approved of its disposal in the country.

This was a reversal of the agency’s statement in 2014 which declared the waste as

hazardous and ordered its return to Canada.

Environment groups, such as Ban Toxics, Greenpeace, Eco Waste Coalition and Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives assailed the agency’s turnabout, which, they said, violates the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, and the DENR Administrative Order 28, or guidelines on the importation of hazardous waste.

The groups also condemned the surreptitious disposal of the 29 container vans in Tarlac, which the groups said was made without a proper court order, or a technical assessment of the toxic content of the wastes.

The groups said the container vans are the subject of 14 legal cases filed by the Department of Justice

against Adelfa Eduardo, the owner of the Chronics Plastic Inc., which imported the wastes.

Government has been forced to look for alternative dumping site after the Tarlac provincial government had stopped the dumping of more Canadian waste, and begun an investigation on the issue.

‘Trash diplomacy’ “This government practices trash diplomacy,” said Zarate. “Other countries have already trampled on our sovereignty, and now even another country’s garbage is being dumped on us,” said Zarate.

Some government officials have claimed that “diplomatic problems” may ensue, if the Philippine government insists on shipping the trash back to Canada.

Zarate, however, cited the case in 1999 when the Philippine government complained about the entry of illegally exported “clinical waste” from Japan, which the latter consequently shipped back to its own soil, in accordance with the 1989 Basel Convention on the Control on Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes. The Basel Convention bans the transshipment of wastes, including toxic materials.

“Aquino, DENR and the rest of the inter-agency have done nothing but make excuses, supposedly for diplomacy’s sake,” said Clemente Bautista, national coordinator of Kalikasan PNE. “The Canadian government is clearly denying its international obligations See trash, page A8

Australian scientists have called the water hyacinth “the world’s worst aquatic weed,” clogging rivers, dams, lakes and irrigation channels in every continent except Antarctica. It destroys aquatic environments and costs billions of dollars a year to control.

Yet, some sectors have found a use for the water hyacinths, turning these aquatic pests into a worthwhile venture churning out thousands of pesos.

More specifically, they have made a livelihood out of water hyacinth processing for products such as classy wall coverings.

And thanks to the Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI), many families living near the Laguna Lake have found an extra source of income, as more and more livelihood coops in the area are getting involved in water hyacinth processing.

FPRDI developed the Water Hyacinth Dryer which reduces the drying time of water hyacinth stems from about a week to only a few hours. This allows the stems to be better protected from molds.

At the same time, it allows small and medium-sized businesses to maintain and even raise their production as they are able to thoroughly dry their materials during the rainy months.

“Mayor Bernardo San Juan, Jr. of Cardona, Rizal has reported that using the dryer, the cooperative Samahang Kababaihang Barangay Patunhay (KBP) plans to double their production capacity to 50,000 stems per week,” said FPRDI’s Wency H. Carmelo.

“Most of the coop’s dried and pressed water hyacinth stems are bought by the Magic Clean Company which turns them into high-end wall coverings exported to 45 countries,” he added.

To know more about the water hyacinth dryer and other FPRDI technologies, contact FPRDI at (+6349)536-2586/ 536-2360/536-2377 or visit the FPRDI booth at the National Science and Technology Week Celebration at SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City, July 24-28, 2015.

Duterte urges PNoy govt to lodge diplomatic protest vs Canada over dumping of garbage DAVAO City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte is urging the administration of President Benigno Aquino III to lodge a diplomatic protest against the government of Canada for the more than 1,300 tons of garbage which a Canadian firm dumped in the country two years ago.

A fuming Duterte is also asking the Office of the Ombudsman to file criminal and administrative charges against the Bureau of Customs (BoC) officials guilty of allowing the entry into the country of around 1,300 tons of imported garbage from Canada.

“Itong mga taga-Customs…. Sinabi ko nga sa Ombudsman, I told the Ombudsman, you can dismiss them summarily,” Duterte said.

The waste materials, squeezed and squashed inside 55 container vans from Canada reportedly entered the country in May and July 2013 and were declared and labeled as

Photo credit: change.org

plastic scrap materials for recycling.

After a thorough inspection, BoC officials discovered that the containers were filled with garbage and seized it for being misdeclared. It has been lingering at the Bureau of Customs since then until it was recently transported in a landfill facility in Capas, Tarlac.

The tough-talking mayor said he commiserates with

Tarlac Vice Gov. Enrique “Kit” Cojuangco, who has called on the provincial council to investigate the illegal dumping and determine who is responsible for the unloading of the waste materials in his province.

Duterte recalled that during the short-lived administration of former President and now Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, more then 100 containers of garbage from Japan was also

dumped in the Philippines but Estrada immediately filed a diplomatic protest against the government of Japan.

Estrada ordered his then Foreign Secretary Siazon to lodge the diplomatic protest with the Japanese government which obliged and moved for the return of the more than 100 container of garbage to Japan.

Duterte said President Aquino can follow the ex-

ample of former President Estrada even as chided Canada for allowing such travesty to be carried out in the Philippines.

“You know in a community of nations, there’s always that rule of good neighbor policy. Kaya naman sana, if that is the spirit of the league of nations, the United Nations, the spirit that prevails should be good neighbor policy. You do not do something which is harmful, that could result in discomfort to your neighbors,” Duterte lamented.

The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) has likewise demanded the BoC for the removal of 15 garbage-filled container vans languishing inside the free port since August

last year.

Last March 15, when asked to comment on the matter, the Canadian Embassy declared that the transaction was a, “private commercial matter involving a Canadian company and its Philippine partner,” and since the embassy is not a party to the transaction, it rejected the Philippine government’s demand to return the garbage back to Canada.

“Bakit naman ganun?

Ginagawa tayong dumping grounds… Bakit mo gagawing basurahan ang bayan ko? When you do that everytime, it is a derogation of our national dignity!” said Duterte, who is among the presidential prospects for 2016.

Offer yourself to become the mouthpiece of God on this earth S pecial G ospel of the day (July23, 2015-Thursday) Luke 10:1-9- Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the laborers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house.

And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you: This gospel encourages us to pray for more laborers in His vineyard to build the kingdom of God here on earth. This is the reason of God why He allowed calamity to happen due to scarcity of evangelizers. In Hebrews 12:25-See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For

Biblical reflection

Bro. Edcel L. Closas if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven.

For me, it does not matter if who is the messenger of God, either Catholic or Non Catholic, what is important is, there is somebody who is interested to preach God to other people. Offer yourself to become the mouthpiece of God on this earth because the peace and salvation of souls rely on the words of God. Let the words of God reign in every heart and this is possible only once you will volunteer yourself to speak his Gospel to anyone without shame and fear: Printing paid by: Neneth Ranoa - Bobong BalinoEdith Ranoa, PhD- Tony Jordan – Cagayan De Oro: My new number: 09187148435: God loves you!!!

Process... from page A4

of local autonomy within a nation-state.

According to the good professor there are four general types of decentralization arrangements: DELEGATION: Allocation of power by the centre to other levels of government in what remains essentially a unitary state, in which the centre retains authority to withdraw the delegated power or to direct its use. Typically the power delegated is executive or administrative power, or minor law-making power.

DEVOLUTION: Conferral of legislative and executive (and sometimes judicial) power on other levels of government in a manner that gives them substantial autonomy, without the complete surrender of, formal control by the centre.

REGIONAL AUTONOMY: Conferral on one or more regions of a greater degree of self-governing authority than is conferred on other parts of the state.

FEDERATION: Division of governing authority between the centre and one or more other orders of government in a way that gives each of them final autonomy in their own areas of responsibility.

The Philippines currently has two local autonomy regimes in place. The first one is the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao which would fall under the category of regional autonomy. And the second one, which applies to the rest of the country, is a blend of the delegation and devolution models. [See Section 2 and 3 of the the Local Government Code of 1991] It is interesting however that Professor Saunders would describe the various kinds of decentralization arrangements as a spectrum--with delegation as the weakest and federation as the strongest autonomy regime.

Because as a spectrum, this means that countries can actually navigate itself through the different levels of local autonomy.

Indeed, Professor Saunders maintains that these general types of decentralization arrangement are not mutually distinct, but shade into one another as clearly demonstrated in the Philippine context.

Correspondingly, maintaining a rigid and limited view of federalization seems pointless and even counter-productive particularly given that our Constitution does not actually mandate a specific decentralization arrangement and has in fact empowered Congress to determine the structural mechanics of local autonomy. [See Section 3 of Article X] The federal structure envisaged by Joint Resolution No. 10 may still be far down the road but I believe the point to be made here is

that we can already initiate the federalization of the Philippines by incorporating federalist principles in the current local autonomy regimes through simple legislation.

Taking heed of course of Professor Saunders’ very important caveat that what is important is that the new design meets the needs of the state and its peoples and that they have a shared understanding of what has been created and a shared commitment to making the arrangements work. (Atty.

to prevent trans-boundary pollution, violating so many environmental laws in the Philippines in the process, so there really is no reason to give up our sovereignty and ecological integrity to them,” Bautista said.

Since June 2013, 50 container vans containing the Canadian trash had sat unclaimed and rotting in the Philippine Ports Authority in Manila, while another 48 container vans were later discovered in Subic port. In January 2014, the container vans, labeled as “recyclable materials,” were discovered to contain mixed wastes including electronic materials, household wastes, broken bottles and unrecyclable plastics, Ban Toxics said.

Anna Kapunan, chemicals management coordinator of Ban Toxics, said that in accordance with the Basel Convention, a government will be required to ship back its exported wastes, within 90 days upon filing of a complaint by the recipient country. She, however, doubts that the Philippine government had filed any complaint of violation of the convention.

She said that in a congressional inquiry into the issue last year, government agencies, such as the Department of Foreign Affairs, had failed to present a copy of any complaint it sent to the Basel Convention.

‘Global dumpsite’ “We do not even have the capacity to manage our local trash problems yet the Aquino government forced our country to become a global dumpsite,” Bautista said.

Bautista said the country “is grossly insufficient to accommodate even domestic waste output. As of 2013, only 7.29 percent of 1,500 local government units have a sanitary landfill, while only the City of San Fernando is considered fully compliant with the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, or RA 9003.”

Kalikasan PNE also called for the enactment of House Bill 5578, which aims

“to strengthen the policy foundation of opposing the transshipment of hazardous wastes in the Philippines,” Bautista said.

The proposed bill was filed in congress this year by the Makabayan bloc to “to improve the country’s management of waste,” amending Republic Act 6969, the Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act. (http:// bulatlat.com)

Hence, Dr. Cherlina Canaveral, city health officer, reminds the consuming public to keep watch of water discoloration flowing from the faucet after the repair was done.

“Though the Iligan City Waterworks System (ICWS) gives assurance to put water disinfectant, the most we can do is to boil the water for 15 minutes, to avoid bacterial disease of the newly water supply after the repair was done,” said Dr. Canaveral.

“During Arroyo’s time huge imports jacked up rice prices it will also do so now and election time is coming and many are preparing their campaign funds,” added the progressive solon.

“We will investigate this and carefully scrutinize the budgets of the DA and the National Food Authority (NFA) during the budget season,” ended Colmenares.

opportunities for all people and investing in people through digital literacy, she said.

The Tech4Ed center will also promote alternative learning for basic education and digital skills training.

According to ICTO, Tech4Ed Project “provides access points for individuals and communities to bridge the digital and education divide. It promotes grassroots development and opportunities for inclusive growth and poverty reduction.”

“It will also give communities access to information, communication, technology, government services, non-formal education, skills training, telehealth, job markets, and business portals,” it added.

ICTO and ICAD president Alexis Bangayan have signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) to designate an area for Tech4Ed Center in internet cafes that are ICAD members.

“The ICAD has manifested its intent to establish a Tech4Ed center by providing three computer units for Tech4ED use only and has attested to support all activities to sustain and maintain the center to provide feasible necessary services to the community where they operate,” Bonguyan added.

The Tech4Ed centers will

at least change the image of internet cafes that these are not only for games and amusement but also for basic education and digital skills training, she said.

“Once a child asks his parents to go to an internet cafe, parents usually have violent reaction because most if not all parents, they have a negative view about internet cafes. Now we have the honor to inform our constituents, especially parents, that an individual can be educated and earn a degree through online or through the internet. That’s why the internet cafes, through ICAD, support the Tech4Ed project as part of their social responsibility,” Bonguyan added. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

Leaders... from page A1

The National Democratic Front (NDF) in Mindanao has asked for the suspension of the military and police operations in the tri-boundary of Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon, and Agusan Del Norte to facilitate the safe release of Lupiba.

The letter, signed by Archbishop Antonio Ledesma, of the Archdiocese of Cagayan De Oro and Bishop Felixberto Calang of the Diocese of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente in Cagayan De Oro, said that the PEPP is a third party committee now working to facilitate the release of Pfc. Lupiba.

Also attached was the undated letter from Lupiba’s wife and parents pleading for the President’s intercession for the safe release of Lupiba in captivity.

“Nangaliyupo ako kanimo halangdon nga Presidente, isip Commanderin-Chief sa nasud, anaa sa imong mga kamot ang kaluwasan sa akong bana,”( As President and the country’s Commander-in-Chief, I am appealing for your Excellency since the safety of my husband’s life now lies in your hands,” Lupiba’s wife Hennie Lou wrote.

The PEPP also informed the President that the local NDF has also expressed the desire to release the soldier if the security and the environment permit.

Last year, the PEPP as third party committee together with the local government unit also succeeded in the negotiation that led to the release of the two soldiers held captive by the NPA rebels in the mountains of Bukidnon. (PNA)

Social Problems and Its Implication to Education

By Jenemar B. Puyos T-III San Jose Elementary School Quezon-I District

These eight social problems such as corruption, poverty, overpopulation, child labor inadequate health care terrorism, prostitution and unemployment greatly affect our lives. I really ask myself why we have these big problems when we have great and clever leaders. Why these problems are remain unsolved and rampant now a days.

Is it because people have no satisfaction of what they have, that leads them into corruption? Overpopulation is experience, is it because we lack of family planning? Why prostitution is there, is it because parents mislead their children? Why child labor, inadequate health care, terrorism and unemployment are also a social problem in our society?

Who is be to blame the parents or the government?

I think we could not blame others because every good and bad endeavors always stars in a big two letters only that means so much, it is “ME”.

I realized that it’s not too late if not to solve totally the problem but at least, as a teacher and government employee, I can be an instrument to minimize corruption, child labor and even prostitution.

It is believe that teacher

is the mirror of most of the school children in the society, even the people around the community has great respect and honour to the teacher for they know that the teacher is the main contributor to good education. A teacher is the main source of knowledge and good values for children. Teacher is one of the main pillars of a sound and progressive society.

In this connection, I know it is hard but it is a must that being a teacher I should be a good model both in deeds and in words. I believe also that it is my responsibility to render an advice to every young mind to have a good reputation and look for a good job to have a better source of income. The most important thing a teacher can do, which I believe that matter most, is to help every parent to mould their children the way the teaching of Jesus Christ, which is the virtuous values, that includes integrity and honesty. I strongly believe that once a person is honest and with integrity there will be no corruption, the there will be no poverty, no child labor, no prostitution, or may be no more terrorism and everybody will be employed. A teacher who cares for his/her pupils is going to help individuals to succeed in their life in the future.

Two attackers of Cotabato govt official identified, hunted

COTABATO City––Lawmen are hot on the trail of two suspects behind Tuesday’s botched ambush-slay try on the life of a city government official here whom the victim himself later identified before authorities at his hospital bed.

The victim, Aniceto Rasalan, secretary to the mayor, was slowly cruising along Sinsuat Avenue here aboard his government–issued minivan around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday when fired upon by a motorcycle-riding tandem who has been trailing him.

Rasalan sustained gunshot wounds from .45 caliber pistols used by the assassins but luckily survived the incident despite being hit on the face, neck and shoulder.

“Rasalan has positively identified his attackers and we will get them at all costs,”

Mayor Japal Guiani Jr. said during an urgent press briefing he called on Wednesday at the city hall here.

Without giving specifics, Guiani said the attackers belong to the same group of hitmen out to get him due to stricter measures his administration has been instigating against crime.

“This group of killers has been frequenting the city and since they could not get me, they hurt people close to me,” he said.

Guiani also did not discount political angle as motive behind the incident. He did not elaborate.

Lawyer Cynthia GuianiSayadi, city administrator and sister of the mayor, said Rasalan has been airlifted Wednesday to another city “for further medical treatment.”

Sr. Supt. Rex Anongos, city police director, said patrol visibility has been doubled to preclude further occurrences of crimes here.

“Though we are undermanned, it is our duty to keep the city always safe,” he said.

Anongos noted that the city police force currently has 312 personnel, a far cry from its average requirement of 500 cops for urban centers.

“The standard police-civilian ratio is 1:5 but we are presently operating at a 1:1,000 proportion,” he said. (PNA)
