Mama Mia launched in C. de Oro; opens store on September 8

By GERRY LEE GORIT

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– Mama Mia food products can now be tasted in Cagayan de Oro. This after business owner Mia Rica Judith Syjueco launched the products at their station in Barangay Gusa.

Ms. Syjueco said this is the first time in Mindanao for Mama Mia, which sells mainly health food products made from fish, mushroom and chicken.

There are no pork products and the company is Halal-certified for the

Muslims.

Syjueco, a registered nurse, started learning how to cook nine years ago from her parents who were in the restaurant and food business.

She said it has become her passion and that she targets the health-conscious consumers.

The business employs deaf workers.

Syjueco, whose only daughter is a deaf, said Mama Mia also benefits the deaf community.

She said they support the scholarships of 1,200 deaf

Dubious NGOs got P45m from pork barrel of Surigao politicians SURIGAO City––Dubious nongovernment organizations (NGOs) allegedly got close to P45 million from the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel allocations of politicians from Surigao del Norte, the 452-page report released by the Commission on Audit (COA) showed.

First District Rep. Francisco Matugas allotted around P20 million to questionable NGOs, according to the COA special audit report covering the period 2007 to 2009.

Former 2nd District Rep. Robert Ace Barbers also allocated some P25 million to dubious NGOS, the COA report released on August 14 showed.

But Barbers immediately disputed the report, noting he was no longer a congressman from June 2007 to 2010 after he was elected as provincial governor.

Barbers, who ran but lost in the 2013 gubernatorial race, said he had “never downloaded his PDAF to NGOs, preferring instead to allocate them for roads and other infrastruc-

ture projects.”

“That is why during my term, almost all roads in Surigao [del Norte] got cemented. I made sure that my PDAF will not go into the hands of bogus NGOs,” he told MindaNews in a phone interview.

Barbers served as congressman from 1998 to 2007. In 2010, he failed to win the gubernatorial race.

For his part, Matugas did not return this reporter’s calls and text messages for comments on the COA findings.

URIGAO City–– Two elite members of the Surigao Divers’ Club (SDC) have responded to the sea tragedy involving cargo ship M/V Sulpicio Express Siete and passenger vessel M/V Saint Thomas Aquinas, recently. Noting that dozens of Surigaonons were aboard the ill-fated passenger ship, SDC President Lyndon Cubillan and Club Officer Johanne Jake Miranda flew to Cebu the next morning to help in rescue operations

Netizens parry Aquino’s pork abolition pitch: ‘Sebo’, ‘Holdaf ’, ‘Golay’, ‘Liempo’

By TYRONE A. VELEZ of DavaoToday.com

DAVAO City––Did he really say he is abolishing pork?

President Aquino III’s announcement Friday that “it is time to abolish PDAF” or the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) spurred epicurean invectives from journalists, activists and academe all over social

media. They’d rather call it by other edibles.

In his Facebook account, Carlos Conde, former journalist and human rights researcher said “(R) ead carefully what Aquino said: “It is time to abolish PDAF.” He didn’t say, “I hereby order PDAF abolished.”

Medina councilor Chan is PCL Misor chapter prexy

By Gerry L. Gorit Staff Member

CAGAYAN de Oro CityMedina councilor Dan Dan Chan won Thursday’s election of the Misamis Oriental chapter of the Philippine Councilors League.

Chan garnered 137 votes as against Lugait councilor Roger Lim’s score of 114.

The election was participated by 253 councilors out of a total of 254 and was held at Koresco Hotel in OBSERVERS FROM CONGRESS . House Deputy Speaker Pangalian Balindong Cagayan de Oro City.

MindaNews photo by Carolyn O. Arguillas Alma Moreno, a councilor

of Paranaque City and a former movie actress, graced the event.

Moreno said she was happy to witness the election because the group was like one family despite their differences.

She commended the chapter for being an active group, noting the attendance with just two absences.

Asked whether she will run for the Senate in 2016, she said this is still far and that she would look into the possibility.

“God knows,” she said.

Moreno said person-

ally she is not in favor of abolishing the SK but that she wants the priority for the youth to be in school.

As for the pork barrel she declined to comment on whether to abolish it, saying that investigations are going on.

However, she agrees with President Benigno Aquino III that senators and congressmen can do more if they are given a budget by the national government.

“Many senators and congressmen have made a lot of beneficial projects,” she said.

City police committee appreciate on the proposed JTF A COORDINATING con-

creation of Joint Task Force Cagayan de Oro was held Tuesday at the Police Regional Office-10, Camp Alagar.

The activity was hosted

by PS/Supt.David Y. Ombao, deputy regional director for operations of the Police Regional Office-10.

This is an offshoot of discussions made during the meeting of the City Council committee on police, fire and public safety chaired by Councilor Ramon G. Tabor, Thursday, wherein parties agreed to sit down to look into collaboration between differ-

PS/Supt. Ombao presented the overview of the proposed JTF and the creation of a technical working group for the purpose while Councilor Tabor facilitated the open forum with the invited guests.

Representatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), Scene of the Crime Opera-

tives (SOCO), among others attended the conference.

POLICE COMMITTEE It may be recalled that during the meeting of the committee on police, Supt.

Ombao said the first thing that has to be done on the PNP’s side is to justify the intention.

“Cagayan de Oro is booming, bad guys are looking at the city because opportunities are here,” he said.

He, however said issues and data relevant to this should first be looked into.

Supt. Cholijun Caduyac, Assistant Regional Chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG)-Philippine National Police (PNP) Region 10 also expressed his support to the move and proposed that this be called a “Joint Task Force”. He proposed that the JTF be composed of representatives of different agencies unlike Task Force

Davao, which was solely military in structure.

Councilor Tabor expressed his gratitude to the positive response on the proposal.

“The 4th Infantry Division is very receptive. This is a very good development,” said Tabor last Thursday.

He is optimistic that Maj. Ricky L. Canatoy, who was privy to the creation of Task Force Zamboanga, will be able to help the city start the Joint Task Force.

Councilor Tabor expressed his gratitude to all those who are taking part in the move to strengthen the city’s peace and campaign through the creation of the proposed task force.

“Let’s come up with everything including needing resolutions or ordinances and present this to the City Peace, Development and Security Council (CPDSC),” the councilor said during the committee meeting.

The move was initiated in response to robbery and criminal incidents in the city. The July 26 bombing tragedy also prompted the need for joint collaboration to secure the city from threats.

3 Across Mindanao DENR partners with 5 LGUs to fasttrack land titling in NorMin monday | august 26, 2013

northmin . caraga . davao Your Mindanao-wide Community Newspaper

T

he Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) continues to forge partnerships with local government units (LGUs) in Northern Mindanao, particularly L anao del Norte and Misamis Oriental, to fasttrack land titling in the said provinces.

DENR-Region 10 Executive Director Ruth M. Tawantawan identified the new five LGUs that signed a memorandum of partnership agreement (MOPA) with the regional office to undertake land titling activities to include the municipalities of Lala, Kolambugan, Kauswagan and Tubod, all of Lanao del Norte, and Gitagum town of Misamis Oriental.

Tawantawan told DENR Secretary Ramon J. P. Paje in her report that the new partnerships bring to 15 the number of LGUs that have responded positively to the call of the department for joint effort to bring land services to communities through MOPA. The LGUs that earlier signed MOPAs with the DENR-Region 10 include five in Bukidnon, namely the towns of Maramag, Don Carlos, Quezon, Sumilao and Impasug-ong; three in Lanao del Norte such as

Kapatagan, Linamon and Bacolog; one in Camiguin which is Mambajao and Cagayan de Oro City.

Tawantawan said the signing of the MOPAs was in consonance with DENR Administrative Order No. 2011-06 which seeks to facilitate the implementation of public land titling in partnership with local government.

Under the order, the LGU shall assign necessary officials and personnel required to undertake land titling activities, including a liaison officer between the municipality and the DENR. The DENR, on the other hand, shall provide technical assistance to the LGU personnel, as well as materials, equipment and personnel needed to undertake agreed activities. It is also expected to provide monitoring and quick response-assistance to the municipality in all phases of titling activities.

“We have already conducted a series of orientation on DAO 2011-06, as well as training on land laws and policies, land surveys and disposition, c om mu n it y m o bi l i z a tion and land adjudication which were participated in by personnel of LGUs, non-government

organizations, and other stakeholders. But just the same, we mobilize our personnel from the Land Management Service to assist the LGUs so that we

both realize the objectives of the program on land disposition,” Tawantawan explained.

She also said that not only the landowners would

benefit from the program but also the LGUs in terms of revenue generation.

Also mandated to provide support to the land titling activities are

land personnel from the DENR’s provincial and community environment and natural resources offices, according to her.

Indigent children need more medical, dental care MEDICAL and dental clinics in all hospitals are urged to attend to the needs of indigent children.

To institutionalize this, a law is needed to require m e di c a l c e nte r s , clinics, infirmaries and puericulture centers to extend free medical and dental assistance to underprivileged children.

Under the Child and Youth Welfare Code, every child has the right to a balanced diet, adequate clothing, sufficient shelter, proper medical attention and all the basic physical requirements of a healthy and vigorous life.

It is, thus, the task of Congress to lead the way in eradicating corrupt practices such as denying admission of street children to medical institutions. The most pitiful sights we can see in all hospitals today are those ill children, especially those who do not

Ninoy and the new generation THE nation commemorated on August 21 the martyrdom of former Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., the late father of President Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III, at the tarmac of the airport now named after him 30 years ago upon his return from exile in the United States.

The present generations, referring to those born in 1983 and thereafter, unfortunately don’t have a clear picture of Ninoy and why his brutal death while in the custody of state security forces is celebrated as a national holiday. This irony could be partly blamed to our short memory as a people and our lack of appreciation of history’s role in crafting our future as a nation.

One of our weaknesses as a nation is our inability as a people to connect the present time to the past.

This inability, I’d say, is the albatross that is preventing us from soaring in the future.

And irony of ironies is our fondness to forget our past and even twist it to fit

A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II our partisan objectives in the present.

The heirs of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos are doing their best now to rewrite history by tampering it to paint the man as the best leader we ever had.

This is being done because of the perceived ambition of the late dictator’s son and namesake, Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, at recapturing Malacanang in 2016.

While the Marcos heirs are taking advantage of the present generation’s lack of knowledge about the ruthlessness of martial rule and the man who imposed it on the nation, many elders of this nation seem to buy the propaganda being pushed by the heirs and

their propagandists picturing the dictator as a good man and his dictatorship a benevolent one.

The nation is being gypped to believe that they owe it to Marcos because the great things that happened to this nation were his legacies. If this is not falsehood in the highest order, pray tell what is.

Currently, anti-Aquino forces who wanted to bring him down so he will not become a factor anymore in the election of his successor are not just picturing him as a no good leader, a no good president. They went further with their ante projecting Noynoy as the scion of a no good person.

While the nation See NINOY, page 9

Dubious... from page 1

The COA report showed that Matugas’s pork barrel allocation from 2007 to 2010 amounted to P101.910 million, of which P79.9 million was intended for Various Infrastructure including Local Projects (VILP or hard projects under the category of public works); P8.5 million for “soft,” which refers to projects involving livelihood, education, health and social services; and another P13.5 million for “soft” from other sources.

During the period, Matugas allocated P22 million for “soft projects,” of which at least P19.8 million went to NGO-implemented projects that COA found questionable.

One of these NGOs— Dr. Rodolfo A. Ignacio, Sr. Foundation (DRAISFI)—received P13.5 million from Matugas’s PDAF. He and 15 other legislators gave the shadowy foundation a total of P164.6 million from their pork barrel, the COA said.

It said that DRAISFI was not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) but was issued permits by the local government of Quezon City. The NGO listed two addresses that turned out to be nonexistent upon COA’s verification.

According to state auditors, DRAISFI was involved in livelihood trainings and

in the distribution of “financial assistance.”

However, COA said the recipients listed under the “financial assistance” component were found to be anomalous because of the following: ➢ The amount of financial assistance received by each participant was not indicated in the list; ➢ Many supposed recipients did not sign in the list of participants, and in at least two such projects, no list of participant was submitted at all; ➢ And, many alleged beneficiaries have no specific addresses and a good number were found to be not registered voters within their reported districts or towns.

There were 255 such alleged beneficiaries in Surigao del Norte, but COA said none of all the listed recipients were voters of the district or town where they supposedly come from.

Matugas also endorsed some P3.395 million to the Kabuhayan at Kalusugang Alay sa Masa Foundation, Inc. (KKAMFI), which received a total of P526.6 million from 2007 to 2009 from 23 other congressmen.

The NGO used the money for livelihood trainings and the procurement of technology kits.

The COA audit report said “KKAMFI projects were attended by anomalies, and the NGO did not bother to respond when asked to

verify its suspicious transactions.”

Matugas also allocated pork amounting to P2.7 million to the Philippine Environment and Economic Development Association (PEEDA), COA said, noting it could not find the two listed addresses of the group.

Another P300,000 from Matugas’s pork barrel that went to PEEDA was also listed as “unliquidated.”

The group’s expertise was on distributing “livelihood kits.”

According to COA, PEEDA had listed suppliers that were either nonexistent or had denied transacting with the NGO. It was also unable to submit pertinent documents when asked by COA. In Surigao del Norte, the towns of Pilar and Socorro in Siargao Island had39 and 74 PEEDA beneficiaries, respectively. However, when COA verified the names through the Commission on Elections records, 36 of the 39 recipients in Pilar turned out as registered voters, and only 12 in Socorro.

In all these findings, COA said that Matugas did not reply to the auditors’ request for confirmation of the transactions.

For Barbers, COA said he allocated P23.4 million pork money to the Asia World Sanctuary and Development, Inc. (AWSDI), which were unliquidated.

The amount was earmarked

for “trainings” and released in 2007.

COA said that AWSDI’s existence was suspect, having changed its name twice and the address it listed was found to be a residential unit owned by its president—a certain Rosemarie Palacio— and was up for rent when state auditors conducted an ocular inspection.

Barbers’s name was listed along with Cong. Arturo B. Robes of San Jose del Monte City in Bulacan province as having endorsed a total of P48.8 million to AWSDI. “AWSDI submitted certain documents to back up the projects under Barbers’s name but disclosed that all these contained “deficiencies,” COA said. The NGO also claimed that documents relating to Barbers’s SARO “have been damaged by flood.”

State auditors also found that three of AWSDI’s suppliers “cannot be located at their given addresses and have no existing permits based on the issued official receipts since 2007 to 2009.”

“The items distributed and received by the beneficiaries were not indicated in the submitted list of beneficiaries and some beneficiaries included in the list did not affix their signatures,” the report said.

Barbers denied having handled these projects, pointing out that he was already serving as governor of Surigao del Norte beginning 2007, the year

the controversial pork barrel fund under audit was released.

He noted that between 2007 and 2009, incumbent Rep. Guillermo A. Romarate, Jr. (2nd district) had already started his first term in office. During this period, the COA report showed that Romarate had a PDAF totaling P95 million, all of which went to hard projects or VILP and none for NGO-implemented “soft projects.”

Barbers also argued that “he could have never received PDAF allocations while he was on his way out of Congress in 2007 because then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo had stripped him of his pork barrel.”

He pointed out that he had a falling out with the Arroyo administration during his last term in Congress after he voted to impeach the former president.

Napoles scam also in Surigao Meanwhile, the Surigao del Norte towns of Dapa and Socorro also appeared in the COA audit findings as among the recipients of “agricultural packages” from the pork barrel of various lawmakers, including Senators Jinggoy EjercitoEstrada, Ramon Revilla Jr., and Juan Ponce Enrile.

The various PDAF allocations, totaling over half a billion pesos, was coursed through the Social Development Program for

Farmers Inc. (SDPFFI), an NGO linked to alleged pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim Napoles.

SDPFFI’s listed head was Benhur K. Luy, a relative of Napoles and one of the whistleblowers in the P10 billion pork barrel scam allegedly instigated

by Napoles.

Dapa Municipal Agricultural Officer Felipe Porpayas, Sr. denied receiving the agricultural implements.

In Socorro town, COA said the mayor “acknowledged to have received 155 sprayers and 155 folial fertilizers.”

It added, however, that “the items allegedly distributed and received by the mayor were 237 packages consisting of planting material, high capacity manual sprayers, planting tools, protective gears and agricultural chemicals, including long sleeves and t-shirts.

The Honorable Mayor also informed this office that the attached Certificate of Acceptance is distorted as it carries the official seal of Oriental Mindoro instead of Surigao del Norte. The items confirmed by the Honorable Mayor, then, could have come from other projects of the government.”

COA said at least half of the recipients categorically denied having received the “agricultural packages,” while others were found to be non-residents of the specified municipalities.

The search is on for the best ideas on how the construction industry can contribute to sustainability, with the launch of the 4th International Holcim Awards on Sustainable Construction, one of the most significant competitions on its field with $2 million in prize money at stake.

The Main Category is open to projects in architecture, building and civil engineering, landscape and urban design that show how incorporating sustainability principles construction can address environmental, socioeconomic and cultural issues. Projects must have reached an advanced stage of design, have a high probability of execution, and may not have started construction before July 1, 2013.

The competition also seeks visionary projects and bold ideas for the Next Generation category, which is open to young professionals and students between 18 and 30 years old. Only projects that have not started construction before July 1, 2013 may be entered.

Entries must be submitted online at www.holcimawards. org by March 24, 2014. The entries will be screened by an independent panel of experts from renowned technical universities around the world.

The Holcim Awards will be locally launched on Aug. 30 at the SMX Convention Center during the 10th Green Forum by the Green Architecture Advocates of the Philippines.

Since its launch 10 years ago, the contest has generated a number winning entries that showed the construction industry can help contribute to sustainability through innovative designs and structures address a host of challenges.

Among those is an entry from the Philippines in 205, which won the silver prize for the Asia Pacific region in the first Holcim Award. That entry proposed to accelerate coral reef restoration in Misamis Oriental using concrete structures to reenergize the marine life and improve the livelihood of locals. The project was praised by the Asia Pacific regional jury “for addressing

not only ecological issues but also considering economic feasibility, social benefits and transferability to other sites.”

Taking part in the competition has been streamlined by an interactive online entry form.

Entries must be in English using the web-based form to provide information on authors, a project summary and response to the “target issues” for sustainable construction, technical details, as well as project images or illustrations. A comprehensive “Step-by-step” guide explains how to an entry at: www. holcimawards.org/guide Organized by the Swissbased Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction the competition is conducted in parallel in five regions of the world in 2013/14 followed by a global phase in 2015.

Regional winners will be announced at Holcim Awards ceremonies in late 2014 in Moscow (for Europe), Toronto (North America), Medellín (Latin America), Beirut (Africa Middle East) and Jakarta (Asia Pacific).

GPH, MILF panels optimistic in peace talks resumption

By Carolyn O. Arguillas

KUALA LUMPUR (MindaNews/) – An air of optimism marked Thursday’s opening of the four-day talks between the Philippine government (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) on power-sharing and normalization, with both parties looking forward to “put to sleep” what GPH peace panel chair Miriam Coronel-Ferrer describes as “the infamous devil in the details and awaken the angel of creativity and compromise.”

Sources from both parties do not expect a signing in this round of talks but are hoping that the contentious issues are resolved so they can move forward.

Malaysian Facilitator, Dato’ Tengku Abd’ Ghafar bin Mohamed told MindaNews the parties are “working on the language” of the annexes and are expected to bring back the drafts their respective principals.

For MILF peace panel chair Mohagher Iqbal, the last two of four annexes that would complete the comprehensive peace agreement “must be settled and fixed now.”

The panels are back in Kuala Lumpur to finish the annexes on Power-sharing and Normalization after signing on July 13 the Annex on WealthSharing. The first annex on Transitional Arrangements and Modalities, was signed on February 25.

Wearing his other hat as chair of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC), Iqbal appealed to the GPH and MILF to “fast-track their negotiation and, without delay, sign the remaining two annexes and finally the comprehensive peace agreement.”

Iqbal said the BTC “cannot write the Bangsamoro Basic Law in its wholeness” unless the annexes and the comprehensive peace pact are signed.

In his State of the Nation Address on July 22, President Benigno Simeon Aquino III urged Congress to pass the Bangsamoro Basic Law

before the end of 2014 so “we will have ample time to prepare for the election of a new Bangsamoro government come 2016.”

“We cannot afford to delay the completion of the peace process. We must act now before it is too late,” Iqbal said in his statement at the opening rites held behind closed doors.

Copies of Ferrer’s and Iqbal’s opening statements were later made available.

Ferrer said the signing of the Annex on Wealth-Sharing on July 13, the toughest round since the parties signed the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) on October 15, 2012 in Malacanan, was generally positively received and that while there were questions and commentaries, they were not so serious as “to throw out or render unviable any single part of the Annex.”

She said the signing “dispelled the doubts that a comprehensive agreement between the Philippine government and the MILF in our lifetime, under this administration, in 2013, can be done.”

“Landmines” Ferrer acknowledged that the path to the two other annexes “is strewn with various types of landmines.”

She cited the “rampage” of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters while they were meeting here last month, “attacking soldiers and setting off grenades and IEDs in several parts of Central Mindanao, in their bid to derail our negotiations;” the July 26 bombing in Cagayan de Oro City that left eight persons dead and injured some 40 others; and the August 5 bombing in Cotabato City that left eight persons dead and injured some 30 others.

“But through their grievous deeds, these entrepreneurs of violence and mayhem have only succeeded in isolating themselves from the rest of the people. Bombings, sniping, and various forms of indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations and objects such as bridges have no place in

the moral order that we are instituting in our country and our communities.” “In this round, we will prove that we have not been waylaid by these groups’ destructive, desperate ways,” she said.

Iqbal said the answer to the spoilers is to “finish the remaining issues and sign the comprehensive peace agreement.” “Once the agreement is sealed, it would be very difficult for them to destroy it,” he said. Iqbal paid tribute to the MILF and GPH negotiators who had passed away in the last 16 years of the peace process and those who had fallen ill.

“Finish this process soon” “Why I am making this narrative? It is simple! I just wanted to stress the need to finish this process soon. Any further delay is not only taking a toll on the very people whose lives are heavily invested in the peace process but more seriously, the various spoilers and enemies of peace are given the chance to spread Publication Notice R.A 10172

their venom and to jump on our failures to stop dead the peace process on track. It appears nowadays that there is a conspiracy of all these anti-peace forces against us.

This comes in various forms and uses diverse tactics to advance their evil agenda,” he said.

Signing the comprehensive agreement, he said, will not only stop the spoilers on their track but also strengthen the partnership between GPH and MILF so they can “proceed to consolidate the gains of the peace process and strengthen the Bangsamoro Transition Commission and Bangsamoro Transition and set up the Bangsamoro government by 2016. Once the Bangsamoro is set up, “the problems that we are encountering now will gradually be eased out and those still opposing or fighting the government will be deprived of legitimacy and of popular support.”

The panels, through their technical working groups, have

been discussing power-sharing since August last year and normalization since November. Iqbal said that as soon as the annex on power-sharing is settled, “we can pour all our remaining stamina on normalization, an issue that is not too difficult to overcome by willing and committed peace partners. After all, the end state that we all desire in this peace process is for peace, justice, and development to reign in our land.”

“Angel of creativity and compromise” Ferrer said the President has repeatedly expressed his commitment to ensure the roadmap to get the Bangsamoro set up by June 30, 2016 is followed. She said the panels will do their share by completing the last annexes.

“Let us show that we are ready to put to sleep the infamous devil in the details and awaken the angel of creativity and compromise,” she said.

Reiterating her previous opening statements, Ferrer

said they aim for “an agreement that leaves no one in the prospective Bangsamoro political entity behind as far as protection of rights and access to power and wealth are concerned;” that the agreement “must redound to the well-being of not just one but of all the indigenous peoples in the Bangsamoro; not of one political or socio-cultural or religious group but of everyone; not just of men but also of women; not just of the elites but most especially of the poor and dispossessed across the spectrum” She said she knows there will be more challenges ahead and that “in fact, things might still get worse before things get better “ as this has been the experience in most postconflict settings. “ This is my objective view, not a pessimistic stance. But it is an appraisal that is imbued with the determination that we shall overcome,” she said. (Carolyn O. Arguillas / Mindanews)

DENR partners with 5 LGUs to fasttrack land titling in Northern Mindanao The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) continues to forge partnerships with local government units (LGUs) in Northern Mindanao, particularly Lanao del Norte and Misamis Oriental, to fasttrack land titling in the said provinces.

DENR-Region 10 Executive Director Ruth M. Tawantawan identified the new five LGUs that signed a memorandum of partnership agreement (MOPA) with the regional office to undertake land titling activities to include the municipalities of Lala, Kolambugan, Kauswagan and Tubod, all of Lanao del Norte, and Gitagum town of Misamis Oriental.

Ta w a n t a w a n t o l d DENR Secretary Ramon J. P. Paje in her report that the new partnerships bring to 15 the number of LGUs that have responded positively to the call of the department for joint effort to bring land services to communities through MOPA. The LGUs that earlier signed MOPAs with the

DENR-Region 10 include five in Bukidnon, namely the towns of Maramag, Don Carlos, Quezon, Sumilao and Impasugong; three in Lanao del Norte such as Kapatagan, Linamon and Bacolog; one in Camiguin which is Mambajao and Cagayan de Oro City.

Tawantawan said the signing of the MOPAs was in consonance with DENR Administrative Order No. 2011-06 which seeks to facilitate the implementation of public land titling in partnership with local government.

Under the order, the LGU shall assign necessar y officials and personnel required to undertake land titling activities, including a liaison officer between the municipality and the DENR. The DENR, on the other hand, shall provide technical assistance to the LGU personnel, as well as materials, equipment and personnel needed to undertake agreed activities. It is also expected to provide monitoring and quick response-assistance

to the municipality in all phases of titling activities.

“We have already conducted a series of orientation on DAO 2011-06, as well as training on land laws and policies, land surveys and disposition, community mobilization and land adjudication which were participated in by personnel of LGUs, non-government organizations, and other stakeholders. But just the same, we mobilize our personnel from the Land Management Service to assist the LGUs so that we both realize the objectives of the program on land disposition,” Tawantawan explained.

She a ls o s aid t hat not only the landowners would benefit from the program but also the LGUs in terms of revenue generation.

A l s o m an d ate d to provide support to the land titling activities are land personnel from the DENR’s provincial and community environment and natural resources offices, according to her.

from page 4 reminisced yesterday the martyrdom of Ninoy 30 years ago, the son’s detractors were busy picturing the father as unworthy of the praise and respect heaped on him by a grateful nation whose death triggered the ouster of the dictator Marcos in 1986.

Noticeably, there is a concerted and purposive effort going on at discrediting Ninoy.

In this campaign, Ninoy is projected as having a hand in the bloody Plaza Miranda bombing of the Liberal Party’s (LP) miting de avance in 1971 in complicity with the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).

Based on this propaganda, Ninoy supposedly entered into a deal with the former chair of the CPP, Jose Ma. Sison, to have Marcos disabled politically so he’ll loose grip of power. But things did not turn out as planned since it only led Marcos to declare Martial Rule.

Going by this logic, it was Ninoy in conspiracy with Sison, who is responsible in bringing about the Marcos dictatorship.

The propaganda line aimed at putting down what Ninoy has done for the country is stretched even further to his martyrdom in 1983. It is painted that Aug. 21 1983 was no different to another event in our history, the Aug. 21, 1971 bombing of the LP rally in Plaza Miranda.

The subtle propaganda being peddled is that Ninoy purposely chose the date of his murder with the Plaza Miranda bombing thus purporting that he knew from the very start of

his impending murder. If he knew he will be murdered, then what happened at the tarmac was not murder but suicide.

Hs death being a suicide then there was no martyrdom that happened that fateful day in August of 1983.

What does this make of Ninoy? He simply was a cunning and scheming politician and Noynoy the son is no different. Even the late Cory Aquino is not being spared by this vicious propaganda. The Aquinos are pictured as not deserving of the honor and respect bestowed on them by a grateful nation while Marcos is projected as the best leader this nation ever had.

Connect the dots yourself to see the intention of this line of propaganda which is very unfair because both Ninoy and Cory can’t defend themselves anymore from their graves.

How can the past serve the present in crafting the future with this kind of distortion?

Personal Note: Allow me, please, to greet here our apo, Marcus Kyam, and our two sons, Bartholomew Atom and Karl Friedrich who celebrated their birthdays on the 18th, 21st and 22nd of this month, respectively. May God add more years to your life and more life to your years?

Power... from page 4

simply becomes our way of living.

We talk negatively about coworkers so we’ll look better than them. We act like we’re

humble in public, when we actually want to be recognized and given that position or title of status. We play power games in the office, our village, in sports, at school, even in our marriage. Husbands don’t really show and express our love to our wife because we think we’ll lose the power and control in our marriage. So we want our wife to remain insecure and not sure if we really love her. But it’s not just men who play power games, women do too. Like the mother who won’t allow her children to see their grandparents. Some women even use sex to control and manipulate their husbands.

But friend, even if you won every single power game you played. Do you realize that 50 years from now, your title or position of power you fought for won’t make any difference to your life?

In fact, the satisfaction you think you’re getting from winning those childish power games by stepping on and hurting other people will only come back later to haunt and hurt you.

You see, we always get back what we give others—whether it’s good or evil. It’s called planting and reaping.

Jesus says there’s only one position of power that will make all the difference in your life, both now and when you die.

That’s whether you’ve become a child of God or not. As they say, “It’s not WHAT you know, but WHO you know.”

So have you asked Jesus to forgive you for all your wrongs and living for yourself? Then have you asked Him to take charge and start changing your heart and way of living every day? You see, your daily personal relationship with Jesus is the only position of power that matters, and will give you real satisfaction that lasts.

Just Think a Minute.

Gas seen as expensive option for M’nao grid

By MYRNA M. VELASCO, Contributor

TO push for future diversification in Mindanao grid’s power supply, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is being aligned as an alternative but a study commissioned by the World Bank presented it to be a pricier option.

The simulations presented by Canadian Gas Services International (CGSI), the entity tapped by the World Bank for the study, indicated that

gas or LNG will be twice to thrice more expensive than coal – the latter being anticipated as the major source of Mindanao’s new power supply starting 2015.

However, if compared to diesel or bunker-C fuel with forecast delivered costs of $20 to $36 per MMBTU over 20-year stretch, gas will emerge less expensive.

The size of the anchor power plant for proposed LNG storage facilities should be in the range of 300 to 450 megawatts, the study noted.

In particular, the planned

LNG facility at the Phividec Industrial Estate in Cagayan de Oro will have a delivered gas cost of $13.80 per million BTU in year one and increasing to $18.30 by year 20.

remaining $0.32 is allocated to the cost of the distribution infrastructure,” the study has emphasized.

Comparatively, the cost of coal-based generation will be roughly twice lower at $4.19 per million BTU equivalent at year1 (which is reckoned at year 2013); and will just climb to $4.78 by year 20 (or in 2032).

Looking at the numbers crunched in the study, the escalation in coal prices is also seen happening very slightly.

For the proposed gas plant in Iligan, the delivered cost is seen kicking off at an even higher level of $15.37 per million BTU and will increase further to $20.90 in year 20. The estimated average will be $14.67 per MMBTU. Gas plant installation in General Santos, on the other hand, will have delivered cost of $16.43 per MMBTU for year one and inching up to $21.97 until year 20.

When it comes to bringing the gas supply in Mindanao region, the business model propounded by the study is for government to allow the entry of “gas aggregator” to meet the demand of endusers, including industries intending to do fuel shift.

On the sphere of regulating gas prices, the proposal will be to bestow

such powerful function to the Department of Energy (DOE) – a diversion from earlier proposals that such must be given as added role for the Energy Regulatory Commission.

The study said, the “DOE would be entitled to adjust prices, issue fines or in the extreme, suspend or revoke a license.”

But if pricing will be given to other entities, it was proposed that “the DOE should retain either an oversight and review function, or at the very least an enforcement function in the event that some independent body or party is put in place to arbitrate disputes as to prices or service levels.”

Backpacks banned during Kalivungan Festival in N. Cotabato KIDAPAWAN City––Security forces in North Cotabato will ban the bringing of backpacks inside the capitol compound in Barangay Amas during the week-long Kalivungan Festival starting August 26 to September 1.

Joselito Aso, head of Kalivungan Festival’s security committee, said the ban on backpacks is part of their tightened security measures amid the spate of bombings in the province early this month.

Aso said they will put up a baggage counter at the gate of the capitol compound.

During the Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC) meeting at the capitol on Friday, Supt. Teofilo Kinazo, deputy provincial director, said policemen will be deployed in strategic areas of the city to

avert any untoward incidents.

The tighter security measures will be put in place following the series of bombings that took place in the towns of Kabacan and Midsayap and in Cotabato City early this month.

C ol. Nor man Marcos Flores, commander of the 1002nd Infantry Brigade based in Sarangani, said that they are ready to send augmentation troops to help secure the various events during the festival.

The Army’s 1002nd Brigade is based in Malungon, Sarangani province but it has jurisdiction over the second district of North Cotabato, which comprises the towns of Arakan, Antipas, Tulunan, Makilala, President Roxas and Kidapawan City.

The plate numbers have already been submitted to the security units manning the gate, Abellana added. (Keith Bacongco / MindaNews)

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - One big idea is all you need -- so how do you choose between all those worthy options? You need to make sure that you’re focusing, so get a friend or colleague to help you winnow down the list.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - It’s hard to get to the root of the issue today, thanks to a mysterious party that hasn’t quite come within your field of view yet. The fog will lift pretty soon, but for now you just need to embrace the mystery.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - You need to get started on something totally new -- so make sure that you’ve got the time (and permission, if need be) to take off on your own. Almost anything you decide on is likely to succeed.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - You need to find a rational solution to this practical problem -emotional responses are sure to get you nowhere.

Try to just see everything as an engineering problem or a puzzle of some sort.

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - You’re in the midst of a new learning experience, and your mind is totally ready for it! Make sure that you’re pushing yourself and taking on a new challenge or two, or this time could be wasted.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - A minor health problem is turning into an annoyance -- which could mean that it’s finally time to do something about it! Force yourself to take it seriously, so you don’t turn it into an emergency.

City hall has money, says Oro vice mayor

northmin . caraga . davao Your Mindanao-wide Community Newspaper

By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor Mindanao Daily News

CAGAYAN de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno might not be telling the truth when he said that the funds at city hall “were virtually wiped out during the Emano administration,” Vice Mayor Ian Acenas said on Thursday.

“Apparently, Moreno was preconditioning the minds of the people,” Acenas told the MINDANAO DAILY NEWS when asked to comment on Moreno’s allegation that the finances at the City Hall was uncertain which prompted City Hall to adopt “financial restraint” measures.

During the city council’s regular session on Monday, Moreno wrote a letter dated Aug. 16, 2013 to Vice Mayor Ian Acenas to justify the Office of the Mayor’s move to reduce the period of appointment of casual and contract workers at the City Hall to only one month.

In the two page letter read by City Councilor Teodulfo Lao, Moreno cited a letter dated Feb. 28, 2013 submitted by State Auditor Edgardo F. Melendez to

students and the Philippine School for the Deaf as well as the SPED of the Department of Education.

“They are honest and industrious,” she said of deaf persons as she urged business establishments to employ people with disabilities.

The deaf employees of Mama Mia are given all the benefits of employees including SSS and Philhealth.

Because Mama Mia is into health foods, Syjueco also said they help farmers who plant vegetables and mushrooms.

“This is a business that helps entrepreneurs,” she said.

To date Mama Mia makes 144 food products including burgers and hotdogs made of fish and kalderetang isda.

C ompany president Francis Tolentino said their motto of Marami, Mura, Masarap, Malinis mirrors their food products available in the market.

Tolentino and VP for Operations Robert Caballes joined Syjueco in Friday’s launching program at the Pride Rock Business Park in Gusa.

The allegation that the P1b is gone is not true n Acenas questions Moreno’s motive

the regional director of the Commissions on Audit in Northern Mindanao which rendered a “disclaimer of opinion” on the fairness of (City Hall) financial statements as of December 31, 2012.

Moreno said that the COA questioned the validity of the collection and disbursement for the year 2012 amounting to over P 1.17 billion and P 2.29 billion as well as the accuracy and correctness of the general ledger Cash-in-Bank and the time deposit totalling over P 1.19 billion.

In his letter, Moreno said that “the COA report was alarming which required him to exercise fiscal control in order to address the liquidity situation at city hall.”

“We have to institute measures and controls to ensure prudence in approving and implementing programs which have financial implications,” Moreno said.

According to Acenas, Moreno’s arguments were based on twisted facts since

the City Treasurer has issued a certification of cash availability of more than P 1 billion on June 28, 2013 before former City Mayor Vicente Emano left City Hall on June 30, 2013.

Lawyer Roy Raagas who head Moreno’s transition team and Moreno himself were furnished copies of the certification of the cash balance signed by three executives of the City Treasurer’s Office, Acenas added.

Acenas said that the city treasurer submitted a financial status report dated June 28, 2013 disclosing the city government’s duly audited general funds, trust funds, and special education totalling P 1.14 billion aside from the P 33 million it deposited on July 1, 2013 – the day Moreno reported as City Mayor.

It is very unfortunate that Moreno, in order to push his arguments that City Hall has problems of financial liquidity, has to rely his arguments in an outdated letter of the COA’s

State Auditor based on the city’s financial status in calendar year 2012.

The State Auditor’s letter was an exit report about Cagayan de Oro City’s financial status done twoand-a-half months prior to the midterm elections on May 14, 2013, Acenas noted.

“Why would Moreno rely on that opinionated COA report done during an election period which could be construed as politically colored report for his (Moreno) consumption in order to malign the previous administration?”

Acenas asked.

He said that Moreno should have relied his assessment of the current financial status of the city government on the financial report signed by the three officials of the city treasurer’s office dated June 28, 2013 – the latest financial report of the city government.

He said that the Bureau of Local Government and Finance (BLGF) in a letter dated June 24, 2013 signed by regional director Susan Ganancial wrote a congratulatory letter saying that “it is noteworthy that the city

Syjueco said a complete meal can be had for P36.

She added that some of the products are also microwavable especially those targeted for the busy people who have no time to cook their meals.

Partnering with Mama Mia for drinks is the Pepsi company.

Pepsi representative John Tuquid they will be providing Mama Mia outlets with a wide range of drinks made

by Pepsi.

Tuquid said the drinks will include juices and energy drinks.

PDAF and the consequent creation of a new mechanism, you would know that there is something wrong here, and faulty diction is just an indication of deception,” Arao said.

Aquino said he would instill mechanisms to check if funds would “be spent with only the public’s benefit in mind” and to create an inter-agency to investigate and prosecute persons misusing the fund.

But SunStar Davao editor-in-chief Stella Estremera said a Congressional fund for projects by any name would mean the same.

“It was once upon a time called countryside development fund, which became countrywide development fund, which became I can no longer recall, and then became PDAF. Sus. wag magpadala sa panloloko ng mga manloloko. Di nila yan aalisin. (Christ, don’t be fooled by these charlatans.

They won’t scrap this thing),” she said.

Activists and journalist netizens alike started to come up with names to call the pork barrel system.

“Henceforth, PDAF shall be known as Selective Enforcement of Budgetary Outlays (SEBO), Holistic Lawmaking for Development of All Filipinos (HOLDAF),

Budget for Allies for Continuation of Party Dominance (BACON-PD), Countrywide Assistance for Special and Important Matters (Casim) or PNoy’s Initiative for Good Governance CountrYwide (Piggy),” Conde said.

Representative Carlos Zarate of Bayan Muna also compiled a “menu” of terms : Lawmakers Initiative for Emergency, Miscellaneous and Personal Outlay (LIEMPO), Livelihood Empowerment for Countrywide Humanitarian Outlaw Network (LECHON), Countrywide Universal Priority Initiatives Treasury (CUPIT), Fund National Assistance Program of Lawmakers Engaged in Swindling (NAPOLES), Hearty Allocation of Money (HAM), BSA’s Awesome Budget for Outstanding Allies of the Year (BABOY), Horrifyingly Unlimited Money for Belmonte, Aquino and Allies (HUMBA), Pnoy’s Allowance and Treasury Allocation (PATA) Social Initiative for Service in Governance (SISIG), Outlay for the Interest of Noynoy and Kinsfolks (OINK), and Presidential Oversight for Relatives and Kin with Budgetary Entitlement from Legislative Largesse Yearly (PORK BELLY).

Danilo Arao, Associate Dean at the University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication, said Aquino’s use of words is puzzling.

“If you consult a reliable dictionary, the word “abolish” means “to end the observance or effect of ” (http://www.merriamwebster.com/dictionary/ abolish). The word “replace,” on the other hand, means “to put something new in the place of ” (http://www. merriam-webster.com/dictionary/replace). If you’ve read the President’s speech on the so-called abolition of

government incurred no questionable violation in all its financial transactions affecting the City Treasury.”

Acenas said that the city council has expressed the apprehension on the motive of Mayor Moreno’s allegation that the city government’s previous administration has lost or “wiped out P 1 billion” which certainly means that “the amount was gone and could not be accounted for.”

Moreno’s statement that the P 1 billion was gone was a cryptic signal informing the people of the “futility to look for it” or a simple message of conditioning the mind of the people that City Hall has no money which was a big lie, Acenas added.

The Vice Mayor said that the City Council has no intention to quarrel with the executive department but it has a mandate to protect the interest of the city government and its people especially on matters of funds that came from the taxpayers.

This paper called City Administrator Roy Raagas on Wednesday afternoon to possibly get some reaction but Raagas did not acknowledge the call.

‘animal-related’ terms to replace the pork such as Government Outlay Lineitemized and Appropriated Yearly (GOLAY), Fund Integration for Social Housing (FISH) and Bridges, Excavations & Elevated Roads Fund (BEEF).

Joaquin included contributions such as Countrywide Allocations With Accountability and Transparency (CAWAT) by Wilfredo Almendralejo Rodolfo III, Benigno Aquino Development Assistance Fund (BADAF) from Ian Garcia, and Countrywide Outreach and Rehabilitation Assistance Fund (CORAF) from Juland Suazo.

Pediatrician Jack Estuart came up with Ang Kanayunang Organisadong Inisyatiba (AKOIn), Accessing Countryside Investment Fund (ACIn Fund), National Allotment for Countryside Amelioration and Welfare (NACAW).

Whatever the name is, BAYAN Secretary General Renato Reyes said “Pork by any other name, and in the hands of the corrupt, is still pork.”

On August 26, netizens and citizens will take to the streets for the Million People March calling for the abolition of the PDAF. (Tyrone Velez/davaotoday.com)

Biblical reflection

Bro. Edcel L. Closas

Bad attitudes Special Gospel of the day: Matthew9:3238(August23, 2013-Friday) Matthew 9:32-38-As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly [is] plenteous, but the labourers [are] few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest: In our gospel, we can discover that a dumb or mute person was healed when this person attached to Jesus Christ. The person became dumb because he was possessed by evil spirit and this is an implication that if we are mute in speaking the whole truth, maybe we are also possessed by evil spirit.

Before the dumb healed, he never speaks due to the evil in his life. Meaning, for us to be able to speak the truth, we need to ask the power of Jesus to cast out the evil in our hearts. Take note, when Jesus did this wonder, the people accused him as a devil instrument because he commanded the devil to get out from the victim. Are you a victim? Remember, “in doing right, expect opponents.” This is an indication that each one of us is possible possessed by evils because of our “bad attitudes.” Do you have bad characteristics? Come to Jesus for deliverance: SPONSORED:Neneth Bobong Balino- Dr. Edith, PhD- Tony Jordan - CDO. St. Peter Calungsod, pray for us!
