Briefly K-12 lauded INTERNATIONAL communities have sent a message of appreciation to education officials in Northern Mindanao for the implementation of the “K to 12” program in the region. Dr. Allan Farnazo, DepEd Regional Director, issued the statement Wednesday amid criticism by various sectors about the government’s K to 12 program allegedly being an added burden to the poor. Farnazo said that students and teachers from Australia, South Korea, Japan, and elsewhere in Europe sent congratulatory messages to officials of the Department of Education (DepEd) for implementing the K to 12 program in the region.

Sasa project review DAVAO City -- The chairman of the Davao Regional Development Council (RDC) said the administration of President-elect Rodrigo R. Duterte must review the proposed P18.99billion Sasa Port modernization and decide whether to push through with the controversial project or adopt modifications. Outgoing Davao del Norte Gov. Rodolfo P. del Rosario, who heads the RDC, said Mr. Duterte’s planners should consider turning the wharf into a cruise tourism facility “rather than operating a [cargo] wharf.” Mr. del Rosario said should the incoming administration decide to drop the Sasa option, a similar port development project could be pursued elsewhere in the region, where there is definitely a need for a huge facility.

DOST 12 funds upgrade of 9 MSMEs KORONADAL City -- Nine micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in SOCCSKSARGEN Region are getting needed enhancements courtesy of the Department of Science and Technology.

Kagay-anons urged to sustain stride for growth as manifestation of freedom
D
URING the celebration of the 118th Philippine Independence Day on June 12 in Cagayan de Oro, the city local government stressed that the community should sustain the gains that were achieved over the years as many lives and comforts were given up just to give a better future for the generation. After the flag raising ceremony and executive wreath-laying, City Mayor Oscar Moreno said that in spite of the dominance of the colonizers, the Filipinos announced to the world that they are free; that they had the right to dream, aspire and attain their own destiny not dictated by any foreign influence. However, the mayor
emphasized that vigilance is the price of freedom saying, “Without vigilance, we cannot sustain our freedom.” Wi t h t h i s , Mo re n o reminded everyone to learn from the lessons of the past, both good and bad, and to continue with the good lessons and even improve on them. He also added that the local government units need the ingenuity, total commitment and sincerity of everyone in addressing the focus of the new administration – drugs and criminality. Even if the syndicates
now are well-entrenched and abundant in resources, the mayor stressed that these people could not win the hearts of the people, “the hearts of the people that want to be free, want to craft their own destiny.” Thus, the mayor wants freedom from criminality and drugs, and encourages every citizen to help meaningfully in achieving that. “We declare today our commitment for a better tomorrow and it will never end,” Moreno said as he urged everyone to possess the attitude of being better, work hard for
a better tomorrow and quest for excellence. The city celebration commenced with the parade of the Philippine flag from the executive building of the City Hall, passing through different historical sites of the city and finally to the Rizal Monument. The raising of the Philippine flag with full military colors was led by the city mayor, Rep. Rolando Uy, MGen Benjamin Madrigal, Jr., 4th Infantry Division commander, and Philippine National Police Regional Director Lyndel A Dequistado.(RTP/PIA10) N o A ge L imit for Volunteerism - Valeriana Rosita Sala, 76, a resident of Barangay Ospital (Poblacion), Aloran, Misamis Occidental is a volunteer of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services – National Community Driven Development (Kalahi CIDSSNCDDP), who acts as the Project Preparation Team (PPT) Chairperson.

The Juggler Think a minute…There was a young man who moved from his home in Italy to live in America. He studied juggling and soon became famous all over the world. Later in his life, after years of success as a juggler and performer, he decided to return home to Italy and re t i re . He s old a l mo s t everything he owned and bought a big, expensive diamond. Then he boarded the ship for his home in Italy. One day he was showing a boy on the ship how he could juggle several apples at one time. Soon a crowd of the passengers gathered a rou nd to watch. T hen the old juggler got more a nd more c a r r ied away with himself, wanting to i mpre s s t he c rowd . He ran to his room and got his precious diamond.

Broken Relationships “Relationship” comes from the the Latin “referre” or “relatum”, which means “to bring back”. In one of my penultimate columns, I tried to explain, “when to keep our mouth shut”! Silence is also an answer - sure! But some of my readers posed the question, if also broken relationships can be only restored by silence or waiting. My answer is YES and/or NO! S o m e t i m e s , i t ’s a miracle what a small dose of determined silence can do. Relationships are ALWAYS worth restoring, because life is all about learning how to love and how to value relationships and make the effort to maintain them instead of discarding them whenever there is a rift, a hurt, or a conflict. The bible told us that all
of us have been given the ministry of restoring broken relationships. Broken or cooled down relationships can be noticed at any corner. Restoring them is equal to peacemaking or peacekeeping but also not avoiding facing conflicts. Ru n n i n g aw ay f rom a problem (and then keep the mouth shut!), pretending that the problem doesn’t exist or being to afraid to talk about it, that’s how the hypocritical coward acts. I always love to talk to God before I talk to a person. Later, I can find the right moment and take the initiative to restore broken relationships or face the problem. I can even look out for others’ interests first. I can use “my telescope of life” (from the Greek word “skopos”) and play close
attention. I can start with sympathy but not with great solutions right away. I can confess my part of a possible conflict. Paul said in Romans 1 2 : 1 8 : “D o e ve r y t h i ng possible on your part to live in peace with everybody!” In resolving conflicts, a word not be spoken may be the choicest word of all, or IF WE TALK, HOW we say it, is important. The US-author Rick Warren confessed in one of his books; “We can establish a relationship even when we are unable to resolve our differences. Christians of t e n h av e l e g it i m at e , honest disagreements and differing opinions. But, we can disagree without being disagreeable. The same diamond looks different from different angles.

Annual independence fete a sham LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…`The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me’…” (Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in Matthew 25:40, the Holy Bible). -ooo FILIPINOS REMAIN I M PR I S ON E D, NOT INDEPENDENT: Is there any benefit in celebrating the Philippines’ so-called “118 years of independence” when, clearly, Filipinos remain imprisoned in their own selfish and greedy, corrupt and decadent, selves? Independence from what? From foreign domination? Well, we only have to look at various parts of our supposed territory today and we can see that foreigners still dominate all of us, in almost every aspect of our lives. Independence from poverty and want? We only have to go around in Metro Manila anytime, and we can see that
Filipinos scrounge garbage cans just to find food! -ooo A N N U A L INDEPENDENCE FETE A SHAM: Pardon me but this annual celebration of our countr y’s supposed independence is in reality a big sham, a mere opportunity for politicians to mouth their slogans anew, even if the only thing they have truly done is to sink all of us deeper into the quagmire of division, economic difficulty, and graft and corruption. We can only celebrate independence if Filipinos no longer have to fear going out of their houses because criminals, instead of law enforcers, roam the streets, ready to kill and be killed for a few pesos; if Filipinos no longer have to go abroad to earn a decent wage, even if in return their families break and their children grow up to be rebels, drug addicts, and dregs of society. -ooo-
PANGILINAN’S LAW ON CHILD CRIMINALS R E J E C T E D : R e tu r n i ng Senator Francis Pangilinan must be squirming wherever he is nowadays, even if, in just a few days, he will be among those who will be reinstalled in the Senate to assume the task of lawmaking once more. Why? All because his pet legislation, the Juvenile Justice Law, is being mocked almost everywhere now, with the impending rule of President Rodrigo Duterte. You see, Pangilinan’s l aw p r o h i b i t s a ny o n e , including the police and barangay officials, from arresting any young person who have committed even the most heinous crime. The authorities who will arrest these young criminals will be the ones who will be prosecuted and severely punished, under Pangilinan’s law.

This is the ideal way to live. We need to be with Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life for us, not only from time to time, but all the time. To put it bluntly, we cannot be in the right way, we cannot find the truth about ourselves and everything else, we cannot have true eternal life, without him. He, being the second person of the Blessed Trinity, the perfect image God has of himself, is the very pattern of our humanity who has been made also in God’s image and likeness. Besides, as the Son of God who became man, he is our redeemer who can reconcile us with our Father God from whom we have been alienated because of our sin. We need to be clear about the abiding presence and love of Christ for us. “Remember, I am with you each and every
day until the end of the age,” he assured his apostles who can include all of us if we choose to believe and follow him. (Mt 28,20) We ne e d to remind ourselves constantly that only through Christ can we truly discover who and what we really are. As a Church document puts it: “The truth is that only in the mystery of the incarnate Word (Christ) does the mystery of man take on light. Christ fully reveals man to man himself and makes his supreme calling clear.” (Gaudium et spes, 22) These ver y lofty and theological words about the relation between Christ and us should not detract from the fact that Christ actually intervenes in our life in every moment, 24/7. His interventions in our life are not limited to some special and extraordinary occasions
in our life. He is with us all the time, alive and constantly telling us things. It’s us who tend to take him for granted. As St. Augustine would put it: “Lo, you were within, but I outside, seeking there for you...You were with me, but I was not with you.” This is the usual predicament we find ourselves in. We need to do something about this. We need to exercise our faith, more than just depending on our senses, feelings and our understanding of things in general, to enter into that most wonderful reality that Christ is actually in us always. We are never alone actually. His presence is never just passive. He loves us and understands us always. As such, he will enlighten us in our darkness, will console us in our sadness, will guide us in our daily routine. He

Fr. Roy Cimagala will always be with us in any situation, good or bad, and will show us what to think and understand, how to react and what to do. We have to learn how to correspond to this reality.

BUDGET CARRIER Cebu Pacific on Tuesday broke ground for a 2.5-hectare aircraft parking bay at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) south general aviation area. In a statement, Cebu Pa c i f i c s a i d o n c e t h e groundwork is completed, the parking bay can accommodate between four to six Airbus A320 aircraft. “We are very grateful to the Manila International Air p or t Aut hor it y and relevant government authorities for allowing us to develop and utilize the south general aviation area
for aircraft parking. This area supplements the space requirement of our growing fleet and will contribute to t he optimization of our ground operations,” Lance Y. Gokongwei, the airline’s president and CEO, was quoted as saying in a statement. The budget carrier’s fleet includes seven Airbus A319, 36 Airbus A320, six Airbus A330, and eight ATR 72-500 aircraft. Starting this year through 2021, Cebu Pacific expects delivery of two more brand-new Airbus A320, 30 Airbus A321neo, and 16 ATR 72-600 aircraft.
Globe fires up 130 sites in Visayas, Mindanao GLOBE Telecom said it fired up 130 sites in Visayas and Mindanao with the utilization of the additional allocation in the 2600 MHz spectrum, which forms part of the resources that it recently acquired following a joint purchase of San Miguel Corp.’s telecommunication assets. This will provide customers in those regions with additional network capacities to support growing demand for bandwidth. In a statement, Jo el
Ag ust i n , Gl ob e S e n i or Vice President for Program G over nance, Network Technical Group, said the company is planning to use the 2600 MHz band in more sites in line to immediately put to use frequencies that were previously underutilized to improve the broadband data experience of its customers. “ This is particularly beneficial for our customers especially since they now demand more bandwidth capacities in light of their globe/PAGE 9

LDT and its wireless unit Smart C ommunications have both overhauled their company logos in keeping with their ongoing shift to reinforce their digital business. PLDT, the country’s oncedominant carrier, has been in the process of turning a new leaf as it sheds its traditional legacy telephony business toward more data-driven revenue models. And a crucial part of the company’s so-called “digital pivot” is marrying its fixed-line capabilities with its wireless competency. In line with the longedfor convergence, the new logos of PLDT and Smart are now similar, save for their respective colors. “The new logo symbolizes the powerful convergence of
PLDT and Smart, combining fixed and wireless technologies to ser ve individual and enterprise customers,” PLDT said in a press statement. The new logo will now replace PLDT’s 33-year old logo based on a representation of telephone receivers. “R at h e r t h a n a l l ow ourselves to be disrupted by new technologies, we are disrupting ourselves. We have embarked on a digital pivot to enable us to serve the increasing needs of our people’s digital lifestyle and the country’s growing digital economy,” PLDT and Smart Chair and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan said in a press release. Pangilinan has been aggressively pushing the company’s digital shift as PLDT’s erstwhile dominance
has now been eroded by competitor Globe Telecom due in large part to the latter’s digital portfolio. T h i s ye ar, PL DT i s expecting profits of P30 billion, down from P35.2 billion last year as the company plays catch-up in the digital space. PLDT has also allocated P43 billion in capital spending to strengthen its digital spine, with $100 million more to be
spent in line with the P69.1 billion co-acquisition with Globe of San Miguel Corp’s telco business, including the prized 700 megahertz spectrum allocation. Though PLDT and Globe both contend the megaacquisition as aboveboard, the newly formed Philippine Competition Commission maintains that the deal will still be subject to review.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas This coming Sunday is Father’s Day… It’s our way of honoring our fathers to remind them that they are special to us. Here are 10 gift ideas and suggestions that will help you choose what to get for your dear fathers…
* A frame with your family picture that he can place on top of his table. * Let him choose a movie he wants to see this Sunday and treat him to a good lunch or dinner at his chosen restaurant. * Lastly, ask him what he really wants to do on his day… My 13 year old son, Dominic asked his dada, my husband, Elmer, what he wants for Father’s Day. Elmer told him, he just wants pizza and for the 3 of us to watch some movies at the master’s bedroom. That’s what would make Elmer happy… Simple, fun and relaxing. So be it.
The Science of Getting Rich is a book by Wallace D. Wattles. This book is very interesting because it tells you that there really is a “Certain Way” of doing things wherein if you follow it, you will inevitably get rich with a mathematical certainty.
If your father refuses to be “techie” get him an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus because he might actually start to really love and enjoy it. Teaching him how to use it is part of the gift. Good luck!
If he loves watching movies, get him a Netflix and/or iflix subscription so that he could watch his favorite old and new movies, tv series, documentaries, etc. Set it up at his device for him as well.
* Whatever it is that your father wants to do on Sunday, just give it to him. After all it’s his day, not yours. Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
If he loves music, get him a Spotify subscription. He will surely find his favorite songs there even the super old ones that would remind him of his good old days.

Banking&Finance Rules on lending to DOSRI revised Advertising and Editorial E-mail : businessweekmindanao@gmail.com Contact nos. : 0917-7121424 • 0947-8935776
T
HE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Tuesday revised the lending rules to bank officials, stockholders and related interests, aimed at improving financing supp or t to pro ductive sectors and strengthen banks’ exposure to related parties. In a s t at e m e nt , t h e central bank said its policymaking Monetary Board (MB) has approved the amendments on rules on lending to directors, officers, stockholders, and related interests (DOSRI), affiliates, and other related parties. This move targets to provide financing support to productive sectors and projects tagged as priorities under the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) and the Public Investment Program (PIP). The BSP said this adjustment would allow BSP supervised financial
institutions (BSFIs) “to take on risks based on their risk bearing capacity and quality of risk governance.” This, as banks are expected to understand all factors with regards to the projects they will help finance. The amendments exempts project finance e x te n d e d to d i re c tors , officers, stockholders and re l at e d i nt e re s t s f ro m complying with the ceiling on unsecured loans before the project’s operational phase. On the other hand, the financial institutions are “required to adopt strong measures designed to safeguard the interest of the financial institution, which may include, but are not limited to, pledge o v e r t h e b o r r o w e r ’s shares, assignment over t h e b o r r ow e r ’s a s s e t s , assignment of all revenues and cash waterfall accounts,
and assignment of product documents.” The new rules also hiked the prescribed limits for loans to subsidiaries and affiliates that would be used for PDP or PIP-related projects. This is to encourage more entities to participate in PDP/PIP related initiatives to ultimately contribute to continued economic growth,” the BSP said. The BSP said exposures by BSFIs’ subsidiaries and affiliates in PDP or PIP projects would now have a higher individual and unsecured limit of 25 percent from 10 percent; and 12.5 percent ceiling on net worth of the lending bank, from five percent previously. MB also redefined relationships from common ownership and concurrent directorship as it stressed emphasis on the ability of the concerned owner or director to exercise control
over the borrower. ” This is in view that a controlling interest in the borrowing entity may already be reasonably perceived o influence the exercise of judgement in the approval and regular review of the loan to such entity,” it said. The BSP said the new rules also amended the capital treatment of exposures to affiliates and now required that both the secured and unsecured loans granted to affiliates would now be risk weighted. BSFIs are now allowed to remove from capital “all credit exposures to their related parties that are not engaged on arm’s length basis.” ”The said enforcement a c t i on ai ms t o e ns u re effective implementation of the new rules and to promote responsible lending to related parties,” the BSP added.

RCBC Savings sees sustained growth in 2016 RC B C S AV I NG S B an k , t he t hr if t b an k ing ar m of Yuchengco-led Rizal Commercial Banking Corp., is poised to continue its growth for 2016 as its lending portfolio is seen to sustain its expansion. The bank posted a P1.249-billion net income in 2015, 21% up from the 2 0 1 4 l e vel as t he b an k s aw g a i n s i n i t s m a i n businesses. In the first quarter, the thrift lender recorded a net income of P200 million, s l i g ht ly m ore t h an t h e P194-million earnings in the same period in 2015.
RC B C S av i ng s B an k President and Chief Executive Officer Rommel S. Latinazo said the bank c ou l d “p o ss i bly ” re a ch the growth rate seen in its net income last year given current demand for auto and mortgage loans which is seen fueling growth this year. “We continue to expand. We continue to expand o u r l o a n s , w e’v e b e e n e x p a n d i n g s o i t’s s t i l l p o s it ive for us . D r ive r w i l l re mai n to b e auto and home mortgage,” Mr. Latinazo said in a recent interview.
“Of late, auto [lending] has been growing faster primarily because the auto industry has been growing too quite significantly... s o w e e x p e c t t h e aut o loans market to expand as well,” he added, noting that demand for housing loans is also growing. The bank’s lending to small, medium enterprises (SMEs) remains at about 4% of its loan portfolio. “I’d like to outpace the growth but how can you outpace a 20% growth in consumer lending. SME i s g row i ng i n n om i n a l numbers but as part of the
mix, it remains to be 4%,” Mr. Latinazo added. In the January to March period, RCBC Savings’ loan portfolio posted a 21% rise in loan portfolio to P73.9 billion, inching closer to the bank’s full year target of P76 billion. Mr. Latinazo said the dr ivers of g rowt h were the aggressive surge in its core loans, or from auto and mortgage loans, which account for 38% and 52% of the portfolio, respectively. The b ank is lo oking at a 20% rise in both its deposit and loan book this year.
BOYSEN MIX AND MATCH™ COLOR LAB LAUNCHED IN CEBU, WINS BEST BOOTH For the first time in Visayas, Boysen, manufacturer of the most widely distributed paint in the country, introduced their latest exhibition concept called the Boysen Mix & Match Color Lab to Cebu during the Philconstruct Visayas held last June 2 to 4, 2016 at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino. Introduced in March this year at the Interior and Design Manila (IDM) and Worldbex, the Boysen Color Lab offers professionals and homeowners the chance to experience firsthand more than 80 of the company’s most popular colors as well as the new colors launched in Color Trend 2016. Johnson Ongking, vice president of Pacific Paint (Boysen) Philippines, Inc. said, “Color is an experience. With the Mix & Match Color Lab, the company opened up the possibility of having our clients experience the colors firsthand by providing them “swatchsicles,” or sticks, which they can dip into open cans of paint. These are dried and then attached to tags or key carabiners so they
can bring them home and use as book marks, bag tags, key chains, or simply as swatches.” The Boysen Mix & Match Color Lab in Cebu was a resounding success with more than 500 people waiting in line to enter the booth every day and numerous mentions and posts on social media. The company hopes to see the same positive reception in Davao in the upcoming Philconstruct Mindanao in September this year. Boysen has been serving the Filipino market for more than six decades, and is a leader in the paint industry. With their commitment to innovation, the company is constantly looking for new ways to upgrade existing products, develop new ones, and improve processes with new technology. The company has been awarded several times as having the best booth in several major shows throughout the years.

MORE non-life insurers are expected to consolidate this year amid hig her capital requirements as t heir op erat ions c an’t support the mandated hike. There are currently 65 non-life insurers in the Philippines, down from the 90 players recorded in 2011 due to the higher requirements for minimum paid-up capital and stiffer competition with the entry of more foreign firms in the country. “Distressed companies are hav i ng t a l k s w it h healthy insurers for p o s s i b l e m e r g e r s ,” Insurance Commissioner Emmanuel F. Dooc said in a text message. “I hope they progress since we want to help ailing companies resolve their financial woes.” R e pu b l i c Ac t ( R A ) 10607 or the Amended Insurance Code of the Ph i l ippi n e s s i g n e d i n August 2013 re quire d ne w l i fe and non - l i fe insurance companies to have P1 billion in paid-up capital when they set up shop here, while existing insurers must have a paidup capital of P250 million by June 2013, P550 million by December 2016, P900 m i l l i on by D e c e mb e r 2019 and P1.3 billion by December 2022. The minimum paidup capital and net worth requirements must remain unimpaired for
the continuance of the license. The more stringent capitalization requirements we re pushe d to ma ke the insurance industr y stronger and more resilient to shocks, thus safeguarding the money entrusted by policyholders. But non-life insurers said the volume of their current operations compared to increasing competition and higher capital requirements along with the implementation of the risk based capital (RBC) formula -- resulting in an increase in capital or reser ves -- makes it more attractive to sell at a possible premium rather than raise additional funds to meet the regulator y requirements. As of end-2015, only nine non-life companies had at least P500 million in paid-up capital among the non-life firms in the country. Non-life industry group Philippine Insurers and Reinsurers Association, Inc (PIRA) former chairman Michael F. Rellosa said t h e m i n i mu m c api t a l re qu i re me nt s and t he RBC will be good for the industry but the review of the tax structure on the industry must result in lower tax burdens. “The capital and RBC requirements can make the industry more competitive and financially sound but

the tax burden will simply negate whatever gains,” Mr. Rellosa said. Unlike life insurance companies that are levied only a 2% tax on their premiums, non-life insurance policyholders shoulder a 12% valueadded tax (VAT) and a 12.5% documentary stamp tax (DST). Atop that, there is also an additional 2% fire service tax and 0.150.17% municipal tax for property insurance. Mr. Rellosa, who is also president and CEO of Fortune General Insurance Corp., noted that many non-life companies are having difficulty shoring up capital to meet the requirement, adding that the companies “cannot get from operations the increased capital.” I n a related development, industr y
sources said recently that five non-life insurance companies are recently in talks over a possible “mega merger” deal by the end of the year. The Insurance Commission did not confirm the said report. Stronghold Insurance Co. Inc. was said to have initiated a merger deal with Milestone Guaranty & Assurance Corp. and BF G enera l Insurance C o. S ources a ls o s aid Stronghold initiated talks with Premiere Insurance & Surety Corp. and Country Bankers Insurance Corp. for the possibility of a similar deal. Should the mega deal push through, the surviving company would have around P400 million in total premium portfolio, putting it among the top 20 industry players.

friends” but he is hoping to strengthen their relationship in agriculture, aquaculture, education and other areas. He said they are encouraging Taiwanes e businessmen to visit the country to look for talented workers as he acknowledged the contribution of the overseas Filipino workers to Taiwan’s economic growth. Lin said that in the field of education they wanted to widen the learning experience between Taiwanese and Filipino students and teachers through exchanges. He named four schools – University of the Philippines, University of Sto. Tomas, Ateneo De Manila University, and De La Salle University – where their delegations had immersed so “we can strengthen exchanges of professor and students” to enhance mutual understanding. He said efforts have been undertaken in Taiwan to give Filipino workers equal treatment in terms of medical coverage, insurance, and other benefits. China considers Taiwan a renegade province and has always warned it against declaring independence from the mainland. The Philippines has maintained a one-China policy. On Monday, Duterte also met with Ambassadors Philip Goldberg of the United States, Asif Ahmad of the United Kingdom and Thomas Ossowski of Germany.
The CPP officials also include representatives from the National Democratic Front (NDF) and the New People’s Army (NPA), the CPP’s military arm. Dureza said that both parties conducted an exploratory and informal talk about the possible resumption of peace negotiation between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the CPP. He said that the peace negotiations between the GRP and the CPP gained headway during the incumbency of President Benigno Aquino, but “stalled” in midstream due to some technical issues. Dureza did not elaborate about the initial meeting with the CPP-NDF-NPA panel in Oslo, but said that both panels “shared the optimism on the declaration of President-elect Rody Duterte to seek an early sustainable peace for the nation.” Dureza, together with fellow negotiators Silvestre B el l o I I I and He r nan i Braganza, flew to Oslo on June 10.

We want to be in control and live life our own way, even though our Maker has clearly shown us that the only way to really live successfully is His way. The only way to stay satisfied and safe is the way Jesus Christ showed us. Yet, we keep juggling with our own priceless life just one more day.
