Misor Cares MISAMIS Oriental -- In his effort to have a more comprehensive coverage, governor Bambi Emano announced recently the inclusion of mental cases and those afflicted with filariasis as part of those medical issues that may be covered by the Mis Or CareS. MisOr Cares provincial coordinator, Dr. Bebina Casino, made a strong recommendation to this effect to the Governor after it was discovered that mental cases were far more serious health concern than what it was thought to be. Our municipal cluster coordinators reported that many of these are left without proper care and no medical intervention, Dr. Casino said.

Banana farms

DAVAO City -- The Unifrutti Group of Companies has partnered with local companies to start its banana expansion project in Maguindanao by signing an agreement covering 2,000 hectares of banana farms in the province. John Paul C. Perrine, company president, said the group’s infusion of $60 million investment “is just a start,” given a bigger plan to develop about 4,000 hectares for banana starting next year. The company is tapping two locally incorporated companies, Al-Sahar and Al-Khalifa, to set up the farms. “We have faith (in Maguindanao as an investment area); and we believe (that the investments will grow),” said Mr. Perrine.

BBL should ensure welfare of ARMM employees: solon By MINDANEWS

Z A M B OA N G A C i t y – The B angs amoro B asic Law should ensure that thousands of employees of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) will not be displaced once t he B angs amoro ent it y replaces the current regional government Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said. Marcos said the ARMM employs around 36,000 people, and they fear losing their jobs as “collateral damage” once the ARMM is abolished and replaced by the Bangsamoro. “One of the concerns

raised in all the places we go to conduct hearings (on the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law) is the worry of the employees as to what will happen to them since ARMM will be abolished,” Marcos said in a press conference here. He said the same concern surfaced during the public hearing on the BBL Tuesday in Tawi-Tawi. Marcos heads the Senate public hearings on the proposed BBL as chair of the Senate committee on local government. Welfare/PAGE 11

Greater role of barangays in tourism development cited O R O Q U I E TA C i t y – Barangays have a big role and impact in the tourism industry because they are the beneficiaries of the tourism development projects.

This was emphasized by G erard M. R amiro, chairperson of the Misamis O c c i d e nt a l P r o v i n c i a l Tourism Council during the opening of the 5th Pas’Ungko

S’g Mis. Occ. Festival 2014, and 85th foundation anniversary, here, last Nov. 3. The festival, which is celebrated for the whole month of November, anchors on the theme: “Pagpasalamat sa Kalambuan ng Naangkon sa Katawhang Misamisnon (Thanksgiving for all the Blessings Received by the Misamisnons).” Meanwhile, the MOPTC will focus its attention, not only here in the provincial capital but all over Misamis Occidental “for we know how beautiful this place really is and it just takes a good eye and faith in our hearts to see it,” he added. Within five (5) years, there have been many significant changes and improvements in the province’s tourism sector. Now Misamis Occidental has its own unique and

original festivals in almost every city and municipality, and of course, the “Festival of Festivals,” the “Pas’ungko Festival” of the province. “Even the private sector have decided to join in the fun, by opening a lot of hotels, resorts and other venues to accommodate different kinds of events,” the MOPTC Chair cited. Hopefully, we will bring more prestige and business to each and every one of these tourist spots and venues with our project, which I am inviting all of you to witness, just in time for our Pas’Ungko Festival Dance Showdown on Nov. 9. And then, there’s the “Laag-laag Mis. Occ.” or Visit to the “Must-See” Tourist Spots within the province, which I also recommend for everyone to join, on Nov. 10, Ramiro added.

Toyota Reaches Highest Monthly Sales Record in October The number one car company in the country has reached its highest monthly sales record registering 10,163 units last October. This is the first time any local car brand experienced such performance in terms of vehicle sales. On a yearto-date basis, TMPC has registered a growth of 41.92% vs previous year selling a total of 86,794 units and already surpassing its 2013 sales level. Likewise, TMPC’s YTD market share of 45.2% for the first 10 months of 2014. In a d d it i on , Toyot a maintains its lead in the Passenger Car Segment with 35,163 units sold, driven by the higher buying power of consumers who require more affordable and practical vehicles such as the locally manufactured Vios and the newly introduced hatchback

Wigo. On the other hand, the continued strong demand of its Commercial Vehicles with sales of 51, 629 units YTD can be attributed to the growing requirement for vehicles from various business sectors. In a statement, TMPC President Michinobu Sugata expressed “The continued robust economy has given us the momentum to achieve this sales milestone. Toyota has also foreseen the market demand to be strong before the long holidays and took action by ensuring supply of vehicles to meet the requirements of the consumers during this period.” Sugata also added saying that “…both the Toyota Vios and Innova continue to be the most important models in its line-up as this comprises close to 40% of

AUTO sales hit another record month at the start of the fourth quarter of the year.

Therefore, if an acceptable auto road map can be in place soon, this will further boost demand for locally assembled vehicles and support motorization in the Country.” On a year-to-date basis, the total industry has already reached 192,005 units, growing by 30% vs that of 2013 (January-October).

With a steady GDP growth of 6.4%, all car brands are expected to take advantage of this favourable market trend for the rest of 2014.

Banking&Finance 5 FDI inflows increase 59% Budget deficit declines to $4.3B in 8 months to P31.1B in 9 months Best in Business and Economic Reporting

Philippine Press Institute Civic Journalism Community Press Awards 2013

wed-fri|NOVEMBER 12-14, 2014

THE National Government reported a P5.2-billion budget gap in September, re ve rs i ng a su r plus i n August, while on a ninemonth tally the deficit amounted to P31.1 billion which is P70.2 billion lower compared to the same period in 2013. The Department of Finance (D OF) in a statement yesterday said the January-September budget deficit was “well within the P235.5-billion program” for the period. Tax collections improved to P154.6 billion in September, up 21 percent year-on-year. On a yearto-date number, it also increased 13 percent to P1.4 trillion. The Bureau of Customs (BOC) posted a 28-percent increase year-on-year to reach P32.9 billion for September. Overall it has collected P265.8 billion, up 18 percent year-on-year however the DOF said the collections were still 12 percent off the target for 2014. The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), on the other hand, reported P105.7 billion for September, 23-percent higher year-on-year. The

year-to-date collection also grew 11 percent to P996.4 billion. But similar to BOC, it’s about seven percent behind the program. DOF Secretar y Cesar V. Purisima said revenue collections continue to be “fast growing.” “News of record highs in the collections of the BOC and the BIR comes on the heel of our second non-deal roadshow this month, which happened in four major cities in the United States. Whereas the Philippine officials in the Tokyo roadshow covered several sectors, the Philippine delegation in the US met with key executives in banking to drum up even greater interest in the industr y, which was re c e nt ly l i b e r a l i z e d to foreign companies,” said Purisima. Purisima said the government will continue with its “holistic, revenuen e ut r a l , an d e qu it abl e reforms to the tax system” to improve collections. “Our fiscal performance through the past four years has shown that through efficient tax administration alone, we have come a long way in augmenting revenues.

However, in the light of efforts to accelerate ASEAN integration and boost the Philippines’ competitiveness, the DOF expresses openness to a change in the tax system, particularly in the review of our income tax structure,” explained Purisima. “Lowering income tax rates will attract even more foreig n investors into the country but will be detrimental to our fiscal health if they are not offset by re v e nu e - g e n e r at i n g measures,” he added. For the month of September, the government expenditures amounted to

P159.8 billion, nine percent higher year-on-year, and on a year-to-date tally, it increased six percent to P1.5 trillion. Still, expenses were 16 percent off the budget. As a part of expenditures, t h e c o u n t r y ’s i n t e r e s t payments slid one percent lower to P28.8 billion for September. For the first nine months, interest payments has “remained relatively stable” and seven percent below the program. The primary surplus – computed net of interest payments – stood at P23.6 billion for September and P226.3 billion for the total.

THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has reported that as of end-August, the countr y’s registered net foreign direct investments (FDI) inflows increased by 59 percent year-on-year to reach $4.3 billion.

The BSP said investors’ confidence in the sustainability of the Philippine growth story boost FDI numbers. “FDI inf lows remained robust, buoyed by investors’ confidence in the economy fdi/PAGE 10

BDO ups credit line for Korean businesses THE Philippines’ biggest lender has increased its credit line for Korean businesses by more than three-fold.

The credit line from which

Live Before You Leave

hink a minute…They say, “The greatest risk is not taking one.” Why is it when we grow up and become adults, we stop sticking our necks out and taking chances? Yet, at the end of our life, we’ll probably regret the things we did not do more than the things we did. Remember all the new things in life you learned to do that were big risks the first time you did them? Your first time to swim, your first time to ride a bicycle, your first time to drive a car. Some of the things we do all the time now seemed almost impossible before we did them the first time. The great French leader, Napolean, said: “The word impossible is found only in the dictionary of fools and failures.” So ask yourself: “Is the word impossible in the dictionary of my life?” Do you say “I can’t” more often than you say “I can?” Sometimes “you have to go out on a limb if you want to get the best fruit!” We have to learn to be comfortable with uncomfortable challenges, because we can’t discover new oceans unless we’ve got the courage to lose sight of the shore. We need to believe that the best jobs haven’t been found yet, and the best work hasn’t been done yet. But we can’t have the life we want if we don’t change the life we have. A successful woman said: “A bad habit never goes away

These could to turn off investors, which in turn, would be a big slap on the face of the Philippine infrastructure program. Rebidding a P35.4-billion PPP project could derail the Aquino administration’s bid to fast-track infrastructure development. It was unfortunate when President Benigno Aquino III commented that he is inclined to favor a rebidding of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway project. The rebidding of the P35.4billion ($790.7 million*) CALAX project is not the best way to get the best deal for the people. “The government’s dillydallying on CALAX could prove disastrous for the PPP scheme,” a CLSA Research said in its latest sector outlook on Philippine infrastructure. “If ever the government decides to do this, it will be massively negative for the entire PPP program, as it reverses all the progress made in implementing a transparent bidding process,” CLSA’s Ignacio Gonzalez said in the report. How it all started? The Bidding for Cavite-Laguna Expressway project was held on June 14, 2014. Four bidders joined the bidding but only 3 were declared compliant by the DPWH. Team Orion led by the Ayala-Aboitiz group was declared the winning bidder with P11.659 Billion of premium bid. Metro Pacific’s bid was P11.330 billion, and Alloy MTD – P.999 billion. San Miguel’s participation to the bidding was declared noncompliant to the rules according to DPWH Special Bids and Awards Committee. After their

editorial disqualification, San Miguel the credibility of the entire PPP announced to the public that program,” CLSA warned. their premium bid was P20.1 Team Orion, a 50-50 joint billion, or P8.44 billion more than venture between conglomerate Team Orion’s compliant bid of Ayala Corporation and listed P11.659 billion. On June 30, the Aboitiz Land Inc. emerged as Office of the President issued a the highest bidder for the project stay order on the disqualification last June with a bid of P11.66 of San Miguel. After this, DPWH billion ($260.23 million). Secretary Rogelio Singson said Aquino said that when it was San Miguel’s “right to Optimal Infrastructure opened appeal directly with the Office their sealed bid in a news of the President and there is conference following the nothing the DPWH can do.” disqualification, they revealed This effectively suspended that their bid was P20 billion the awarding of the project ($446.9 million) – P9 billion ($201.1 million) more than indefinitely. A decision to declare a the highest bid of P11 billion failure of bidding and to rebid ($245.7 million) made by Team the project being undertaken by Orion. the Department of Public Works “While the government would and Highways (DPWH) could lose out on P8 billion ($178.54 turn off investors, for it could million) worth of SMC’s bid appear that the government is in premium on the CALAX project, favor of San Miguel Corporation losing investor interest for the (SMC), Gonzalez pointed out. other projects in the pipeline “This could easily have been would be a bigger loss for the construed as the government government in the longer term,” favoring SMC to give them CLSA said. another chance, despite the “The government’s inability fact that their bid was found to honor its own terms of by DPWH to have been non- engagement will turn off groups compliant with the rules,” he from further participation in future PPP projects, resulting in added. A Negative Picture. Foreign less infrastructure development and local investors want a and the perpetuation of very transparent bidding process of costly bottlenecks,” it added. major infrastructure projects. P o l i t i c a l F l a v o r ? But the issue of rebidding on the Politicization of the formal particular project could project PPP processes tarnishes the an image of favoritism by the program’s image and dulls investors’ appetites, There government administration. Changing the established is a need to depoliticize the rules of the PPP bidding bidding of major infrastructure process mid-stream may projects under the PPP scheme, become unpalatable to foreign New York-based think tank and local investors’’ taste. Global Source Partners said Who would now believe in in a special report entitled the transparency policy of the “Philippines: Challenging government? The government’s Partnership.” decision to dishonor the rules Does the es tabl i s hed that they themselves wrote ruins rules say that Congress or

the President of the Republic may intervene in the bidding process of PPP projects? The CALAX project involves the financing, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of a 4-lane, 47-kilometer closed-system toll expressway connecting the South Luzon Expressway and the Cavite Expressway. The awarding of the CALAX expressway project is now pending after the disqualified bidder filed an appeal before the Office of the President. The PPP Center earlier said the Aquino administration is set to roll out 18 PPP projects worth P407 billion ($9.08 billion) before June 2015 as part of the inventory of over 50 projects in the pipeline. How would these be sustained if investors and prospective bidders fear their compliant bids would still be over-ruled by political decisions? Now here comes, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry also urging a rebid of the P35.4billion CALAX project. It claimed that a rebidding would ‘maximize economic benefits’. Would it really? The politicized decision on the bidding has already delayed the project. PCCI, headed by FilipinoChinese businessman Alfredo Yao, submitted on October 28 to President Benigno Aquino III its 8-point economic reform, including the prioritization of infrastructure development. But again changing the rules midstream is outright unfair and unjust. Is it because of the P8.4 billion difference? If bidders for future PPP projects would shy away from participating, then monopoly could sit in, or favored biddings could destroy transparency and promote corruption. Is it the best deal for the people?

I by itself; it’s always an undoit-yourself project.” Smart people sometimes change their minds—but fools never do. So we have to leave our comfort zone if we want to reach a new kind of success. Don’t allow yourself to be buried alive in your comfort zone, like many people do. It’s OK to use your comfort zone to rest in, but not to live in. So after you’ve recharged your energy, leave your comfort zone to move on to your next challenge. Remember, God never puts limits on your faith, so your faith should never put limits on Him. Faith is not afraid of failing; faith is afraid of not even trying. So why not ask Jesus Christ to give you His faith and power to step out and start changing your life today? If you ask Him to take charge, then He will help you fully live your life—before you leave it. Just Think a Minute…

s it already too late? The UN panel on climate change has warned that governments worldwide must act fast to limit the impact of global warming at a manageable cost. Its report will form the basis for a global climate deal next year. Governments will have to reduce greenhouse emissions to zero by 2100 if the impact of climate change is to be kept in check at an affordable cost, a United Nations report said last Sunday. Such reports are not new. Only the dates are being changed year by year! Anyway, if rapid steps were not taken to cut the emissions, however, the price could rise considerably, it said, warning that a failure to curb global warming by the end of the 21st century “will bring high risks of severe, widespread and irreversible impacts globally.” I am not an expert, but allow me to question if it will be really at the end of the 21st century? Such an “irreversible

impact” would occur, for example, if Greenland’s vast ice sheets would melt, which could result in the swamping of coastal regions and cities. It’s melting already. The effects of climate change were already evident in an increase in extremes of heat, heavy rainfall, the acidification of the world’s oceans and a rise in sea levels, the study said. According to the rep or t rele as e d by t he Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC), the cost of reducing carbondioxide emissions in the short term would not brake global growth to any great degree. It said annual projected growth of 1.6 to 3.0 percent a year in consumption of goods and services would be cut by just 0.06 of a percentage point per year if immediate action were taken. The report is a 40-page synthesis summing up 5,000 pages of climate change studies already published since S epte mb er 2013. The studies establish with

95-percent certainty that almost all global warming seen since the 1950s is manmade. Imagine - since the 1950s!!! The document, which has been edited for a week by officials from more than 120 governments meeting in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, is to furnish guidelines for a UN deal on global warming scheduled to be struck at an international summit in Paris in late 2015. Options for limiting the amount of greenhouse gas emissions included improving energy efficiency and moving from fossil fuels to wind, solar or nuclear power, according to the study. Words of hope? “We have the means to limit climate change,” IPCC chairman Rejendra Pachauri said. “The solutions are many and allow for continued economic and human development. All we need is the will to change, which we trust will be motivated by k n ow l e d g e a n d a n

Comes now, PETITIONER, through the undersigned Counsel, unto this Honorable Court, most respectfully states: That Petitioner is of legal age, Filipino and a resident of Purok 4, Austin Heights, Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte. Proof of residency is heretofore attached as Annexes “C” to ‘C- 4; That Respondent is a seaman by profession, likewise of legal age, Filipino and with last known address at Block 7, Lot 27, phase 3, Adelina Street, Biῆan, Laguna where he can be served with summons and other processes of this Honorable Court; That petitioner and respondent were married on January 13, 1999 in the City of Makati solemnized before Judge CESAR D. SANTAMARIA of Metropolitan Trial Court – Branch 62. Proof of said union is a Marriage Certificate hereto attached as Annex “A” and the same forms as an integral part of this Petition; That petitioner and respondent bore one child after their marriage namely, ARON OPEÑA GALLA, who was born on October 21, 1999. His Certificate of Live Birth is hereto attached as Annexes “B” and it forms as an integral part of this present Petition; GROUND/S FOR THE PETITION That Petitioner met her husband sometime in 1997 while they were working in the same place at Mediterranean Restaurant, Malate, Manila. Respondent worked therein as chef while Petitioner as Pastry Assistant. Petitioner was Nineteen (19) years old at the time, fresh from school and so innocent while respondent was 25 years. It was the first time for Petitioner to be far from her family. The nature of work of Petitioner compelled her to go home late in the evening or during the wee hours of the morning. For security reasons, the workers of said restaurant would go home by groups. After duty, the workers would go out together to unwind by eating and drinking. With said kind of circumstances, petitioner and respondent’s relationship found an opportune time to bloom; That petitioner and respondent every after duty would go together with other workers until they became closed to each other. Later, they isolated themselves from the group. The outings became exclusive to petitioner and respondent. Until such time that it would be respondent alone who would dine out with petitioner and who would escort petitioner to her dwelling. Respondent appeared to be responsible and attentive to the needs of the Petitioner which in turn made the latter fall in love with the former. At that time, Petitioner also had the feeling that she was always safe with respondent because the latter appeared to have a strong character; That after two months of courtship, petitioner and respondent became lovers. When petitioner’s passion for respondent grew strong, the latter confessed to the former all his perfect imperfections. Respondent opened up about his previous relationships as well as the fact of raising at the time a child from his ex-girlfriend. According to respondent said child was abandoned by the mother. Respondent also opened up about his addiction to drugs but said he already stopped it right at the moment that petitioner and respondent became lovers. No matter how ominous the revelations were, at the time, the feelings of Petitioner were already of such degree as could disregard all the odds. So what petitioner did was to still accept respondent with an erroneous belief that love conquers all; That respondent as a boyfriend was extremely protective to the point that he warned petitioner not to mingle with her friends. If Petitioner could chance to bond with her friends, respondent would get furious and threatened petitioner that he would do drugs again. On Petitioner’s end, she felt obliged at the time to help respondent change. So she avoided things that could irate respondent or things that were disappointing for him; That people around at the time also observed and commented that petitioner isolated herself to her boyfriend. Petitioner was all by herself and away from her family. All she got back then was her boyfriend. She was with no one whom petitioner could turn to and asked for advice. Things went worst between petitioner and respondent and the former even thought of ending the relationship with respondent. However, petitioner was apprehensive of cutting the relationship. She feared that respondent might do harmful actions towards himself and to petitioner; That later on, there came a time that petitioner could no longer get out of the relationship anymore. Respondent impregnated her. Petitioner was eaten up by fear at the time.So she kept this predicament from her family especially her mother, who was so strict. Petitioner had no one at the time to share things with and so she was forced to stay at the house of respondent’s parents. The father of respondent was the one who was responsible in making petitioner married to respondent. The father strongly suggested that marriage must be had for petitioner was already pregnant. Petitioner was besotted with varied predicaments, such as: the fear of being dejected because she was pregnant but unmarried, the shame of ridicule from the society and the fear of her family who might be incensed for what happened to her. With the kind of predicament that petitioner was in, she was left with no choice but to concede to the decision of the respondent’s father to get wed; That the marriage was celebrated without the knowledge of petitioner’s family. During said celebration, petitioner did not feel anything other than being coerced by circumstances. She did not feel excited nor considered said day as something especial. All that happened at the time were merely mechanical, signing before the judge and then the marriage was concluded. There was no ring, no reception or anything which could have made said day special or meaningful. Few months after the marriage, petitioner’s parents learned of what transpired. The discovery infuriated the father of petitioner. But said infuriation could not anymore undo the absolutely erroneous decision made by petitioner; That prior to the marriage, respondent already displayed behaviors that were manipulative and anomalous. But petitioner ignored those signs. As what was correctly predicted by petitioner, the marriage was a disaster. Respondent lied about the fact that he quitted in the use of drugs. In fact, he would use almost all his salary to buy drugs .Respondent also shunned from his responsibility as the husband of Petitioner. Petitioner had seen respondent’s true colors, his real behavior and his true self when petitioner stayed at the house of respondent. Few were the moments wherein petitioner and respondent were in good terms. In most of the times, they were arguing and fighting. When petitioner’s pregnancy was fully blown, respondent would usually return home at wee hours of the morning or when the sun rose already. In these instances when respondent would be late, petitioner despite the pregnancy would look for and fetch respondent. This is for the reason that petitioner was of the thought that her husband was her responsibility. She should not allow that her husband would be totally derailed by his drug addiction. At times respondent would have the temerity to hide himself from petitioner. Respondent would ask his friends to tell petitioner that he was not around and to shoo away his wife. Despite such treatment, petitioner still took good care of respondent and made all efforts to help respondent overcome his drug addiction and from his friends. Petitioner already made up her mind that when she married her life was already different and that she must help her husband; That when the child was born, respondent’s drug addiction lessened. he appeared to have acquired a better perspective in life. However, as his addiction was slowly averted, respondent develop anger issues. He became angry most of the time especially when he had no money. There were countless times wherein his loud voice would wake up petitioner, cursing and cussing, uttering words like “putanginamo!!”. His voice was so loud that it would usually alarm the neighbours. He also broke things when he was angry. Petitioner could not understand the causes of this anger and could not fathom its roots. The whole time that the marriage existed, it was like petitioner was on tip-toe, afraid to anger respondent. He could make a mountain out of little mistakes that petitioner would commit; That six (6) months after the delivery of their baby, respondent was terminated from work for he turned out positive during the drug testing conducted by the company. The marriage went downhill. Petitioner was dependent on the financial help that her dad would give her in order to buy milk for the baby. The expenses for the christening was also shouldered by her dad for the reason that the money saved by petitioner for the christening was bet by respondent and he lost the game; That one time, petitioner’s mother was able to visit her in Manila and therein the mother discovered how hard the situation of the Petitioner was. Petitioner was emotionally drained and stressed and she could not look for a job because none would baby sit her child. Petitioner’s mother asked her to return to Mindanao so that petitioner would not have a problem with how to meet the family’s daily need, while my husband had no work yet. So petitioner and her baby returned to Mindanao while her husband was left in Manila to look for work. Petitioner’s life got slightly better when she was far with her husband. She was able to land on a job. However, from time to time petitioner was also worried for every time she will call respondent, he was not around. For two years respondent had no job and it was petitioner alone who was working until an opportunity came wherein respondent was able to work in a cruise ship as a cook; That Petitioner’s father helped respondent obtain his passport and other documents for him to be able to work overseas.

By reason of the new work of respondent, petitioner and her baby returned to Manila few months before respondent sailed. When in Manila, petitioner discovered depressing stories. She was informed by respondent’s niece that petitioner’s husband and his ex-girlfriend had reconnected. The ex-girlfriend referred to by the niece was the one whom respondent had a baby with. At the time, said ex-girlfriend resided just across the street where petitioner and respondent lived. Said discovery depressed herein petitioner for the reason that those time that she was in Mindanao and her husband and the ex-girlfriend were living close to each other, it would be impossible that nothing happened between them physically, or sexually. Petitioner was also informed that other than reuniting with an ex-girlfriend, respondent was also involved with a relationship to one of his previous workers in Mediterranean Restaurant. Petitioner confronted respondent of those stories and to the great dismay of petitioner, respondent admitted the truthfulness of those affairs. Despite everything, Petitioner agreed to give respondent a chance and revived their relationship; That when respondent sailed off, petitioner decided to return to Mindanao for they had no place of their own as yet. Moreover petitioner was not comfortable to stay at the place of respondent for the same was surrounded with addicts. For ten (10) months, petitioner stayed with her mother and petitioner at the same was working in Cagayan de Oro City until respondent completed his contract. Unfortunately, when respondent returned, he did not go straight to petitioner and their baby. He rather stayed a little while at his place in Manila. He was not fond or excited of seeing his baby with whom he barely spent time. But he was instead excited to spend time with his friends and his own family. One time, respondent decided to establish a family home in Laguna and so he fetched petitioner and their baby in Mindanao and settled them in in Laguna where respondent rented a house. With the new place, they started to live together as a family and for the first time they were able to buy things of their own. Respondent also brought his child with his ex-girlfriend in their new place in Laguna. He asked petitioner to also take good care of said child to which petitioner did. Petitioner took good care the two children equally and treated them with the same affection. Petitioner and the other child of respondent had a smooth relationship for the latter considered petitioner as her step mother; That by and by, petitioner could feel that respondent was not fair in treating the two children. Obviously, respondent favoured more his daughter with his ex – girlfriend rather than his son with petitioner. Respondent created a wall between him and his daughter from his son and petitioner. The latter could see that respondent loved his daughter more than petitioner and her son. Such actuations impressed upon petitioner the feeling of being less and unimportant. And she was hurt deeply for her son. By these reasons, the marriage went further south and flatlined; That around this time, petitioner learned that respondent helped his ex-girlfriend to work in the company where respondent was working and the same was duly supported by petitioner’s parents-in-law. Said fact was hidden to her by respondent’s family. Petitioner did not expect it for respondent’s family appeared nice to her. During family gathering, her parents-in-law were so caring and accommodating. But then petitioner would find out that they were involved and even supported the actions of respondent in taking good care of the ex-girlfriend. Petitioner felt gravely betrayed and this created another big fight between the parties in the instant case. However, petitioner despite of being so fed up stayed in the marriage for respondent profusely asked her forgiveness; That petitioner was led to believe that when they became financially stable, respondent would turn out to be a good husband as well as a better person. Petitioner thought that respondents anger issues would be gone but as it turned out, things and marriage had gotten worst. While in bed and sleeping, petitioner was fearful of moving and lie flat and still because if respondent would be awaken, he would blow his top and curse herein petitioner. She was subjected to verbal abuses until there came a time that petitioner felt so low of herself already. That another peculiar incident also happen which almost made petitioner to commit suicide. Their three year old son was nabbed by respondent by the collar at the heat of anger. It was then that petitioner realized that there was something wrong in respondent and if she would stay in the marriage she might become unwell and insane. Petitioner improves as a person without respondent. Petitioner is comfortable without respondent. Petitioner feels more human without respondent. And petitioner could truly live if away from the respondent; That sometime in September 2004, Petitioner together with her son returned to Mindanao and lived with her mother. From then on, she never heard any more from respondent. The latter also did not make an effort of connecting or reuniting again with Petitioner. The latter also was traumatized with the marriage and did not run after respondent for financial support or anything. As of the moment, she was not yet fully recovered with how her marriage turned out; That from the beginning of the marriage, respondent failed to fulfill his obligations as a husband to petitioner. Respondent is absolutely incapable of loving and respecting herein petitioner. Respondent is incapable of observing fidelity by reason of lack of respect and love to petitioner. He also barely helped petitioner in taking good care the marriage and the family under it. He does not even support petitioner be it financially, morally and psychologically. All he did was to scowl at and scathe on the person of the petitioner; That the existing relationship is destructive as the same is blighted with deep-seated and unprocessed emotions. The marriage goes down the craggy hill and beyond salvage. The marriage could not cure the disorder of respondent. Instead it can worsen said mental illness. The parties need to deal with their imperfections apart from each other for the marriage, if remain unsevered, will only destroy the parties and engulf them with untold misery. Petitioner now is exhausted and downtrodden. Too lost to be reverberated by her dream, too distraught to wait for another year, too exhausted to put up a fight, too oppressed and beyond healing. Petitioner’s ill fate caused by her feckless husband can be compensated only by the severance of her union with respondent. She is already too sick already to face another day sharing one roof with respondent. Every day in the marriage is now a torment for petitioner. It is of no use and more of a punishment if the law will coerce them to stay together and serve the sentence of marriage. If the bond of marriage persists, then petitioner and respondent will end up destroying each other, sucking each other until dried up of their remaining hope of becoming better and useful persons to the society; That through all these years, it was petitioner who suffered the most. Unable to bear respondent’s downright incapacity or inability to take cognizance of and to assume the basic marital obligations. Petitioner fought back to regain their marriage but all were just futile as respondent always prioritized what he wanted even at the expense of the marriage. Even as he was growing physically, he has remained immature---- morally and psychologically; That based on these facts, petitioner maintains that these manifestations of psychological immaturity existed on the part of respondent, even before they got married. Respondent brought them into the marriage. The marriage of the parties for more than 10 years now did not show the essence of the real meaning of consortium, as shown in the attitude of respondent by maltreating petitioner. Accordingly, he failed to observe mutual love, respect, and tender support to petitioner being a wife, as required of him by law when he entered into the marriage contract with petitioner; That from the time of their marriage until today, it negated a semblance, not even an iota, of true consummation and adherence to the vows and obligations between petitioner and respondent. In the same manner, respect for each other’s feelings was not there even prior to marriage. They just jumped into it by reason of sudden pregnancy. They had been insensitive even prior to the marriage to the real essence of marriage as well as its accompanying obligations. The affection they thought that they had the first time they met was never there actually; That Respondent never treated nor looked upon petitioner as a wife, and this treatment is permanent. But all the agonies, mental misfortunes and sufferings of Petitioner during her union with respondent cannot be scribbled in this petition, and it appears that the continuance of their relationship is an utter exercise of futility; That Article 36 of the Family Code governs psychological incapacity as aground for declaration of nullity of marriage. It provides that “[a] marriage contracted by any party who, at the time of the celebration, was psychologically incapacitated to comply with the essential marital obligations of marriage, shall likewise be void even if such incapacity becomes manifest only after its solemnization.” By virtue of this provision, the petitioner humbly posits that she is entitled to this remedy. The circumstances elucidated above shows facts of psychological disorder suffered by herein respondent. The sufferings endured by petitioner were caused by the psychological incapacity of respondent to fulfil the marital obligations and the same is of such incurable gravity, traceable from his upbringing, and incredibly serious that to force petitioner to stay in the marriage would be to do away her sanity; That in totality, since at the start of their marriage, Respondent failed to fulfill his marital obligations to petitioner by observing mutual love, respect, fidelity, rendering mutual support and/or providing support, advice, counsel, companionship and understanding with petitioner, including moral and spiritual guidance. These failures was due to the fact that respondent is somehow suffering rooted psychological incapacity; That given the gravity of the present case there is now the urgent necessity to have the marriage between parties declared null and void; That Petitioner will prove all foregoing circumstances and related events of her unfortunate episode in her marital life to establish conclusively the psychological incapacity of Respondent when the instant case is tried; That there are no real properties involved in this petition; That both Petitioner and Respondent have closed all possible avenues for the reconciliation and preservation of their marriage, and the root cause of Respondent’s psychological incapacity could be traced to his upbringing in life.

PRAYER WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed that after due notice and hearing, this Honorable Court shall issue an order declaring respondent as psychologically incapacitated to perform his marital obligations with Petitioner and thus their marriage be declared an absolute nullity. Other reliefs, just and equitable under the circumstances are likewise prayed for. This 27th day of June, 2014, at Tubod, Lanao del Norte, Philippines. ATTY. JONATHAN M.

“I think we can strengthen the language (of the BBL) so that the guarantees are made explicit. We need not re-state the guarantees as laid out in the Civil Service Code but we can probably say that the guarantees on tenure, pay grade, etc. are maintained in this reorganization,” he said. Section 9 of Article 16 of the BBL states that the B angsamoro Transition Authority “shall schedule t h e g r a du a l ph a s e - out of offices in the ARMM, which are deemed abolished upon the ratification of the Bangsamoro Basic Law.” “This is where the worries are coming from. That’s why the BBL should be clear and explicit in protecting the interest of the workers by expressing that all the compensation and benefits

under the Civil Service Code and other laws will be given,” Marcos said. He clarified however that not all of the existing offices under the ARMM will be abolished once the new government takes over.

Coco farmers in Pablo-hit provinces get P155.8-M support Efforts to rehabilitate areas affected by Typhoon Pablo continue with the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) releasing P155.8 million to the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) for the rehabilitation of slight-tomoderately damaged coconut trees in the provinces of Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental. Charged against the 2013 Supplemental Appropriations (RA 10634), the fund shall be used for projects under the Department of Agriculture’s (DA) livelihood cluster addressing crop production. Of the P155.8-million release, P115.2 million shall be used for coconut replanting while P40.6 million shall be used for coconut fertilization. “Post-Typhoon Pablo rehabilitation is still needed in provinces like Davao Oriental, which generates close to 90 percent of its jobs from coconut production. This release will not only help our farmers reestablish their livelihood, it will also help jump-start economic activity in the region,” Secretary of Budget Florencio “Butch” Abad said. Coconut replanting will cover the procurement and distribution of seed nuts and seedlings with the provision of technical support on nursery establishment and planting. Meanwhile, coconut fertilization will entail the delivery and distribution of fertilizer and the provision of technical support on fertilizer application. “In coordination with other agencies, the PCA will ensure that our coconut farmers will get the support they need with the right materials and technology. More importantly, this is part of our push to ‘Build Back Better’ by creating a widespread culture of resiliency, which is crucial

in agri-based communities,” Abad added. As of October 2014, P10.42 billion has already been released to various agencies under the Task Force Pablo Rehabilitation Plan to fulfill the requirements of livelihood, social services, infrastructure, and resettlement programs in Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental. The agriculture department and its attached agencies received a total of P302.9 million, of which P115.8 million was allotted to PCA for crop production. (dbm.gov.ph)

But we are convinced that the resilience of the Filipino spirit was and will be the high point of this period in our country’s history,” Aboitiz added.

Go Negosyo Center seen to stir business growth

HE very first Go Negosyo Center in the country opened in Cagayan de Oro City which is expected to usher business developments in the locality, Sen. Paolo Benigno Aquino IV, who authored the bill, said during the inauguration ceremony yesterday. Cagayan de Oro City was chosen among one of the four pilot areas in the country because it has the right business climate to jumpstart the project and make it a model template for other local government units (LGUs) to follow. Republic Act (RA) 10644, otherwise known as the Go Negosyo Act, was signed into law earlier this year. It is the first measure by Aquino, a neophyte senator, which successfully breezed through both Houses of Congress. With the inauguration of the Go Negosyo Center here, Aquino told Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Misamis Oriental director Ma. Eliza Pabillore to expect an influx of mayors and other officials from all over the country who will study the success stor y of the first Go Negosyo Center and replicate it in their vicinities. “You will have a very big challenge here. But I’m confident that as a city as progressive as Cagayan de Oro, your Go Negosyo Center here will be a model for other LGUs to follow,” Aquino said. A Go Negosyo Center w i l l prov i d e a u n i f i e d and simplified business registration process, making it easier for entrepreneurs to register and start up their businesses as well as gain access to sources of financing. In addition, these centers will provide courses and development programs, training, advice on business

conceptualization and f e a s i b i l i t y, f i n a n c i n g , management, capability building, marketing and other support services. Microsoft Philippines for its part will provide registering small enterprises a free copy of MS Windows Office 365 each to help them start their business. They will also create Yammer accounts fo each registering business. Meanwhile, the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) will provide one-timefree financial management training to these SMEs. C apitol Universit y and COC-Phinma will handle feasibility concerns while the Misamis Oriental Multi-Fiber Cluster, Inc. is i n charge of qu a l it y monitoring. Aquino hoped that the speedy business process and the technical assistance provided by both the government and the private sectors will help small scale enterprises compete with their counterparts from elsewhere in Southeast Asia, especially that the whole

Asean economies where the Philippines belong will integrate next year. In the next five years, a total of 2,000 Go Negosyo Centers would have been created nationwide. Aquino will troop to Quezon City a few days from now to inaugurate the second Go Negosyo Center. The rest of the pilot areas are the cities of Iloilo, Batangas and Taguig and the province of Cebu. These may all be urban

areas but Aquino said that the second batch of Go Negosyo Centers will be lo cate d in four t h class municipalities. “E ach G o Negosyo Center has a lot of common denominators but each also

has a unique feature. We are urbanized here in CDO for instance. But in the rural areas, you will find in the future a Go Negosyo Center that cates to the agriculture industry,” Aquino said. Aquino unders cored

the relevance of SMEs in the countr y’s economy, s ay i ng t hat 9 2 p e rce nt of the businesses in the Philippines are SMEs and they provide 61.2 percent of the total employment in the country.

National Nutrition Council launches 10 Kumainments

NO, Filipinos from every walk of life can find ways to get healthy and be nutritionally well by following very simple guidelines drawn up by the National Nutrition Council (NNC) of the Department of Health (DOH). The “10 Kumainments” -- a campaign to promote the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos (NGF) -- was launched by the NNC at the “3rd National Conference of Nutrition Action Officers” held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City on October 23, 2014. The 10 Kumainments are the popularized versions of the NGF approved by the NNC Governing Board chaired by Health Secretary Enrique T. Ona to promote a healthy lifestyle among Pinoys. The nutritional guidelines aim to address and prevent malnutrition and diet-related non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The 10 Kumainments are simple and easy to remember guidelines that can be easily followed by ordinary citizens to improve their nutritional status. With messages like “Kumain ng iba’t ibang pagkain”, “Kumain ng gulay at prutas araw-araw”, and “Panatilihin ang tamang timbang”, individuals are encouraged to eat the right foods, exercise regularly and pursue a healthy lifestyle in

10 easy rules. The messages will be aired on TV and radio stations nationwide. A campaign character, Moises Dalisay also known as “Mang Moi”, was also introduced at the launch. Patterned after Moses or Moises of the Bible story who handed out the Ten Commandments, the friendly “Mang Moi” crusades for the “10 Kumainments” that Pinoys should follow for better nutrition. “ We e n c o u r a g e a l l t h e Nu t r i t i o n A c t i o n Officers in the country to help disseminate the 10 Kumainments up to the barangays and to ever y household so that they can contribute in influencing proper nutrition behaviours and be able to help reduce malnutrition in the country,” said Jovita Raval, NNC Chief of the Nutrition Information and Education Division, who led the national launch. The NGF was developed by the interagency and multisectoral Technical Working Group on the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos chaired by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI‐ D OST). The NGF als o underwent multi-sectoral consultations. The NNC was tasked to disseminate the NGF nationwide to ensure its adoption among Filipinos

to contribute to improved nutrition. The launch was attended by Nutrition Action Officers from all over the country who are also expected to help in the dissemination of the 10 Kumainments in barangays nationwide. The 3rd National Conference of Nutrition Action Officers had for its theme, “I Need You NAO and Forever” and held sessions that covered results of the 8th national nutrition

survey conducted by FNRIDOST in 2013, and updates of the various programs and initiatives from NNC and its partner agencies. Here in Northern Mindanao, the National Nutrition Council X launched the Bisayan 2012 Revised Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos during the 2014 Regional Nutrition Awarding Ceremony held on September 30, 2014. The Nutritional Guidelines

are recommendations to promote good health through proper nutrition in simple statements that give advice on the consumption of food and food components which are of public health concerns. Also launched and distributed in the event is the NNC Coffee Table Book which documents the 40 years of NNC’s relevant and meaningful existence. The launch was graced by Lanao del Norte Vice-

Governor Maria Cristina N. Atay, DOH Aristides C. Tan and local chief executives an d of f i c i a l s of L o c a l Government Units Nutrition Awardees. It was a fitting gesture to channel resources on nutrition. Miss Marissa DM. Navales, the Nutrition Program Coordinator of N NC X t o ge t h e r w it h Director Thelma B. Oliver of the Philippine Information Agency X led the ceremonial launch.

Primavera Residences offers Early Christmas Promo C a g ay an d e O ro C it y, Misamis Oriental (November 10, 2014) – Looking for an investment at the most reasonable deals? Due to the high public demand from the buyers, Primavera Residences extends its promo, the FREE Kitchen Modular Cabinet and installation worth up to P100,000, as an early Christmas gift for its clients until December 31, 2014.

“Due to the promo’s resounding success, and in line with our company’s thrust to offer the best possible package to our clientele, we decided to continue this once-in a-lifetime deal. Thus, as an early Christmas gift, we give more reasons for more people to finally purchase their own unit in the first multi-awarded, eco-friendly condo building in Mindanao

and in Cagayan de Oro, which is Primavera Green Residences,” Franz Josef Enriquez, Sales Manager, Primavera Residences. In a regular package, buyers usually get unfurnished units with inclusions of tile floorings, painted walls and ceilings, fitted kitchen sinks, bathroom fixtures, electrical wirings and outlets; however, Primavera

Residences’ Christmas promo gives buyers a chance to earn savings of up to P100K inclusive of a FREE set of Kitchen Modular Cabinet and its installation. “When buying a home or a property, one of the most important parts to consider is the space where we will prepare our food for our family to eat. Primavera understands this need and

has significantly made it very simple and affordable for our customers to renovate the interior prior their moving in. This I believe is the real value-for-money offer that can’t be beat,” Enriquez expressed. Primavera Residences is known for its energy-saving features including cantilevers that protect the units from direct sunlight and an indoor courtyard that maximizes the natural ventilation in the area. By June of 2015, solar panels that will provide additional energy for the building’s common areas will be installed on the building’s rooftop.

It was also been awarded as the Best Condo Development in the Philippines in 2011 (Southeast Asia Property Awards) and a f inalist

in the Most Promising Clean Energy Investment Opportunity of the Year (CTI PFAN Philippines Clean Energy Investor Forum). “Apart from the fact that we already have a few units left, we are the only one here in the CDO real estate industry, offering a promo of this magnitude. Which is on top of our very competitive prices. Indeed, we sell something eco-friendly that we want to add more value to the buyers’ purchase; that they [buyers] will not just earn big time, they also help the environment in a bigger note” Enriquez declared.

I am pretty sure you are! *Here’s the catch, when me and my eight-year old cousin Angel had swimming last Saturday night at the infinity pool, Angel met her girl friend name Lala from Marawi City who turned nine that day. That was her birthday. She celebrated it with her family and they stayed at the Royal house. I astonishingly asked the kid. She speaks Tagalog. “Sinong may gusto na dito i-celebrate ang birthday mo? She called me “Ate”. She replied, “Mama at Papa ko po Ate. Nang malaman ng mga pinsan ko na Stargate, sumama po silang lahat, ayon po bali tatlong bahay yong kinuha namin pero nasa Royal house po kami.” I asked her again. “First time mo ba dito? Kumusta yung experience mo sa Royal house?” I was shocked. Nine-year old Lala happily said, “First time ko po dito. Kung ang KathNiel ay best love team ever Ate, ito po yung best birthday ko ever!”, then she jumped off the water with my cousin Angel. Even kids know what the best vacation resort in the region is. Simply amazing! the “boogie-ballroomnight” daze at banana Leaf Are you familiar of the saying, “I like to dance but the music does not like to dance with me”? Don’t you worry my friend! At Stargate Dream Vacation Resort, you don’t have to be a pro to step on the dance floor. Gotcha! You don’t have to dress like a pro for you to sway your way. Thus, you can be who you want and who you are here. No pretensions. Just the best life could offer! Stargate offers FREE ADMISSION for the ballroom night every Friday from 7:30pm onwards at the Banana Leaf conference hall. Again, it is definitely free. Even if you do not know how to dance, Stargate houses “brilliant” and “excellent” dance instructors like Jimmylen, Ramel, Mally and Jojo who can dance with you. They are from Star Entertainment Inc. According to Jimmylen, dancing in Stargate relaxes your mind. “Here it is formal plus maka relax gyud ka og ayo compared when you go to bars nga saba ug gubot. Dinhi you can bring you family, your partners and dance with them,” Jimmylen added. Also, another ballroom enthusiast Ms. Jola said it is best to dance here in Stargate. “You know you feel that you are safe here. People are courteous and easy

going. I don’t need to worry. That’s why my husband trusts me so much when I dance here,” Ms. Jola said. “My husband feels comfortable because he knows the place, this is Stargate. I love dancing here. I really love dancing here,” she added. *Oh! If Lala had her best birthday ever that Saturday night, I would say that last Friday night I also experienced my best dance ever! I got to dance ballroom with dance instructor Mally. Unfortunately, my feet both points left. I don’t know how to dance. But Mally was so patient that he taught me the fundamentals of ballroom. Honestly, it was first time dancing ballroom and I am telling you, it was my best dance ever at Stargate! I was so happy. I felt relaxed and comforted that night, if only I could danced the whole night. Also, I was able to dance with dance instructor Jojo; he was too patient for me also. That night, everything’s perfect! I danced like a pro, kidding aside, I mean I feel like I danced like a pro. Haha. You should try the Ballroom night also. Could this be my second challenge to you my friend? The “Ballroom dancing” challenge? Oh! That is gonna be fun!

The dinner buffet sets five courses you can choose from with their luscious Filipino desserts and tempting drinks. *Before me and my cousin Angel experienced Stargate’s infinity pool, we had our dinner at the Green Mango restaurant. Oh! That was a date between me and my most favoured cutie-patootie cousin! I let her choose foods to take. First, she had “chicken adobo” and their signature “beef steak” totally different to what I got, I mean the volume of food. Of course, I tried all. Angel said, “Kani ako Ate kay lami, dili ko daghan kay manambok ko parehas nimo.” Haha. That kid! I answered her, “Baby, ikaw ba naman magkaon inanhi kalami nga mga pagkaon dili kaha ka magbalikbalik? Buffet pa gyud!” To my surprise, Angel said “Dugang pako

chicken Ate, mas lami pa ni kaysa kang Mamalo.” (Mamalo is her grandmother who cooked food for her, always). She added, “Mura ta nag-date Ate Tintin. Nice kaayo ang place. Mingaw. Nice pa gyud ang music. Pwede kaha Let It Go ang music Ate, kadtong sa Frozen?” Haha. We enjoyed our moment together. We ate. We talked. We relaxed. That was priceless!
