Isuzu holds another leg of Truck Fest – readies NCR display Now on its seventh leg this year, Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) displays its best-selling truck lineup in its local dealership in Urdaneta, Pangasinan on October 6-10, 2015. The truck fest series, which started last May 28 in Metro Manila, has been to different cities nationwide – Manila, Cebu, Iloilo, Batangas, Tuguegarao, Cagayan De Oro before heading to Pangasinan.

In Region I, where Pangasinan is located, Isuzu dominates the lightduty truck segment with the Isuzu NHR being their top choice. The Isuzu NHR dubbed as ‘profit partner,’ is perfect in the area as it is home to numerous fishing farms and agri-businesses that utilize the trucks for the delivery of their goods.

“The province itself has so much potential and because of its large area, we already have, not just one but two sales offices in the area - one in Urdaneta and the other in Dagupan.

The local market here goes

all the way to La Union and Ilocos – and it caters from the big fishing companies to the small scale farmers,” said IPC President Hajime Koso.

Earlier this year, Isuzu stated that part of their 2015 target is to sell 4,000 units of trucks and that they are hoping that through this event it can be easily attainable. “Aside from bringing our trucks closer to customers, we

are also making sure that we have enough stocks to support the growing demand. The hilippines is at a developing stage, an as a true truck manufacturer we need to keep up with the phase.”

Koso adds.

Apart from the display, IPC also treats all registered customers with cash discounts, P10,000 worth of parts coupons, and free LTO registration

upon purchase of any Isuzu trucks within the covered period.

After Pangasinan, the 2015 Truck Fest will return to NCR for its metro display schedule: On October 2025 the display will be at Isuzu EDSA, November 2-7 at Isuzu Makati, November 11-17 in Pasig and lastly on November 16-21 at Isuzu Manila. For more details log on to www.isuzuphil. com.

A great disaster I COULD hardly imagine how far our country has been held hostage by shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride), marijuana, among others and how many millions of our people are dependent to these unlawful stuff.

Almost every other day, we read in the newspapers about law enforcers making the arrest of men and women involved in the business of illegal drugs as well as seizing millions worth of shabu and related items in different places in the country.

Prohibited drugs, it seems, is having a tight grip on our people, young and old, and no wonder criminality noticeably went up these past years.

An addict needs the prohibited items every day and the amount involved is so high that it is practically not affordable to average users.

One has to rob, to steal,

to commit a crime to produce the cash he needs for his vices. And when he gets sick after long use of the items, he needs, even bigger cash for medical expense.

The cost of getting involved in this addiction is so high from day one to death.

It is very difficult to figure out how these people develop such a habit of drug use that not only cost big money, but also the end of life in so short a time.

I even think the government lost count of the exact number of people who died due to abuse of drugs.

It was reported that in some places in the country, some members of the law enforcers were found positive in the use of drugs.

Obser vers imagined why there are difficulties in fighting the use of the prohibited drugs in some places.

Drug use allegedly affects the brain and some nerves that usually result in instant death.

The government has lately increased its effort to reduce the activities of drug use as it badly affects the health of the people involved.

It was disclosed abuse of drug use is common in big cities from Luzon to Mindanao.

The youngsters are severely hit specially students who get continued supply from friends.

the daily 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. program “Tambalang Batas at Somintac” over at Radyo Agila’s DZEC, 1062 kHz, I got the feeling that someone in government apparently wants to keep Filipinos in the dark about the present type of dengue that is ravishing us now.

-oooDENGUE MOSQUITOES HAVE MUTATED! Fact number one, according to Dr. Solidum, a certified advocate of anti-dengue campaigns especially among the youth: the government through the DOH has been in possession of information that is critical to avoiding, preventing, and curing the deadly disease.

Yet, as far as I can perceive, this information is being kept a virtual secret. Fact number two: dengue is no

Yes means stress

longer a sickness that comes about only during “wet” or rainy days, as it has become a serious ailment even during “dry” or summer days, particularly so because, with global warming and climate change removing the distinction between rainy and summer seasons, the Philippines is already experiencing rainy seasons whole year through.

Fact number three: dengue-bearing mosquitoes, known as Aedes Aegypti, have already mutated in dangerous ways. Whereas before they can breed only in clean water, they now can breed even in dirty water, as long as that water is stagnant. And whereas before, these mosquitoes carry only one strain of dengue, each dengue mosquito now can carry up to four strains, making victims more vulnerable and incurable, and therefore liable to fatal consequences.

-oooEXPERT PROMISES TO READ THE BIBLE FOR DENGUE SOLUTION: When I talked to Dr. Solidum last Thursday, October 08, 2015, when he appeared as a guest during the regular meeting of the Rotary Club of Intramuros, I asked him if he was willing to look

THINK a minute.

ARE you a “yes man” or woman? Do you always say yes to everybody who asks you for a favor and help?

Some of us just can’t say no to others.

The problem is our “yes” often means stress—to us and our family.

Many times saying yes to one person mean saying no to someone else like your own mate and children.

Of course, we need to care about others and try our best to help those who need it. But we must also know our limits and that we cannot always say yes to everybody who asks us for help.

Sometimes learning to say no to others will mean yes to your own family and responsibilities, which will help lower the stress in your life and home.

Remember, you’re the only father or mother your children have; if you don’t do your job of loving and teaching them, then no one will. Then our family life at home becomes a tense, angry mess instead of a peaceful and happy place.

So each time someone asks us for a favor and help, we must look carefully at their request and decide if doing this for them is actually helping them.

You see, if we never let others take responsibility for themselves and their own problems, then we’re not really helping them to become responsible and successful, since we’re always doing their job for them.

So just being a “yes man” or woman is not always the kindest thing, nor is it being a true friend.

Other times, when someone asks you to do them a favor, you don’t need to answer them right away. You can tell them that you’re not sure and you’ll

Young entrepreneurs urged to consider agribusiness opportunities Young people, including students taking up business courses, should seriously consider career and livelihood opportunities in agribusiness, which is one of the most robust but generally overlooked industries in the Philippines, the top executive of a leading agribusiness conglomerate said.

Mr. Ricardo C. Alba, President and COO of Univet Nutrition and Animal Healthcare Company or UNAHCO, said there are huge business and career potentials in animal production (swine,

p ou lt r y, go at, aqu a), agriculture (vegetables, fruits, grains farming), food processing, distribution, dealership and retail of feed and veterinary products, among others.

“Agribusiness is the industry that feeds our people, all 100 million of us,” Alba said. “And there is no way for agriculture-related businesses to go but up as food consumption increases, so I urge our students and our young people to seriously consider careers and business opportunities in agriculture.”

Alba invited heads of the country’s top colleges and universities to send their students to the Agrilink, Foodlink, and Aqualink 2015, the biggest and most well-attended agribusiness exhibition in the Philippines which will be held this October 15 to 17 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

“Your students will surely gain new perspectives about this dynamic and growing industry and hopefully, open doors for them to a bright, fulfilling and exciting world that provides food on the table for more than 100 million Filipinos three times a day, 365 days a year,” he said in his letter to the business schools.

He said marketing students in particular will learn a lot of things by attending Agrilink because they will see first-hand how agribusiness companies in the Philippines market their products and services. The three-

day exhibit is open to the public for free.

Aside from the exhibit, students and exhibit visitors can attend various seminars to be conducted by industry experts from the Philippines and abroad during the three-day event. They are also free and open to the public.

One of the seminar topics include “Maximizing Productivity and Efficiency of the Modern Sow” to be conducted by Dr. Kathryn Price, a swine nutritionist connected with Akey. It is sponsored

by UNAHCO and will be held at Function Room 2 of the World Trade Center on October 15 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

On October 16 at Function Room 1, two seminars will be sponsored by Sarimanok Poultry. These are “Sustainable Duck Farming” by Dr. Erwin Joseph Cruz (10:30 to 11:30 a.m.), followed by “Productive Layer Farm-

ing” by Dr. Xabier Arbe Ugalde of Novus from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

UNAHCO has been a major sponsor of Agrilink for the past 17 years through its business units such as Univet, Pigrolac Hog Feeds, Sarimanok Poultry, UNAHCO Commercial Farm Group (CFG), and UNAGRO (Univet Agronomy).

This year, Yum Yum, U N A H C O ’s n e w l y launched dog food brand in the market, will also be part of the exhibition.

Yum Yum will have a Dog Café on Saturday, October 17, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the World Trade Center lobby where dog lovers will get the chance to meet and interact with different dog breeds.

Another reason for UNAHCO’s bullish participation in industr y events like Agrilink is the company’s 50th year founding anniversary in 2016.

“We have been serving the Filipino animal raisers for almost 50 years now and we are truly grateful to our loyal customers and partners for their continu-

ing trust, patronage and support,” Alba said. “One way of thanking them is through our promotion of livelihood opportunities in agribusiness, and Agrilink is a perfect venue for this.”

He said UNAHCO believes in the mission of FRLD (Foundation for Resource Linkage and Development), organizer of Agrilink, to bring together all agricultural, animal, and food industry stakeholders under one roof to update them on the latest trends and innovations in terms of product and technology and to establish linkages and network among stakeholders.

Through knowledge and technology transfer, Agrilink has contributed much to the growth of the agriculture, animal, and food industries which in turn provide employment and livelihood opportunities to millions of Filipino farmers, Alba said.

Agrilink also actively supports the Department of Agriculture’s program to promote food safety and security for the growing Filipino population.

Academic competitions hone students’ minds

By VICTORIA H. ABI-ABI, Teacher I East City Central School, Lapasan Cagayan de Oro

ACADEMIC competitions are considered extra curricular activities because they’re really not part of the syllabus of a particular grade. They are activities organized by entities outside of the school system who invite school administrators to send in their brightest students to compete with the brightest students of other schools in a particular place.

Although champs of these academic competitions are not determinants on how a student gains a spot in the honor roll, they certainly become pride of the school where they enroll. This morale factor can also help other students sharpen their minds and strive to be the champions of more upcoming academic competitions.

Just last Friday, there

were two extra-curricular academic activities that I have witnessed at SM City Cagayan de Oro. In the morning, more than 200 students simultaneously held a letter writing activity intended for the next President of the country. This activity was also held in 73 other locations in Central Mindanao. This activity helps a student finesse his penmanship and revive a once-upon-a-time com-

mon everyday skill called handwriting.

In the afternoon, the Department of Trade and Industry sponsored a quiz show focusing on the topic of consumers’ welfare since this month happens to be Consumer Welfare Month.

All these tilts and more will help boost the minds of our students and hopefully become sharp leaders and members of society in the future.

AGAYAN de Oro the city’s sustainable City--Local leg- development policy.

City Councilor Ramon Tabor, islators here are chair of the city council comnow studying a pro- mittee on laws, said on Friday posed ordinance that that the proposed legislation is response to the pronouncespells out the proper in ments of the weather bureau storage and utilization that the El Niño phenomenon of rain water as part of is expected to worsen in the coming months.

He said the city is fortunate since it is still experiencing rainfall, although weather officials warned that the effects of the El Niño would triple or quadruple from the months of November and December and until the summer months next year.

The proposed ordinance would require the establishment of a Rainwater Catchment system (RCS) in public and

private buildings, residential buildings, agricultural plantation and other priority farms, Tabor said.

According to Tabor, the rainwater harvesting system in the city should be classified based on the size and nature of the catchment surface and based on whether the systems are of urban or rural settings.

It provides that the proper

harvesting, storage and utilization of rainwater shall be integrated with the proper design, construction and maintenance of drainage systems that would imitate the natural hydrology of the site topography.

Once implemented, the proposed Cagayan de Oro City Rainwater Ordinance of 2015 will also address flooding in the city, he said. (PNA)

Engineers, architects urged to help achieve 70% emission reduction Climate Change Commissioner Heherson T. Alvarez yesterday rallied all engineers and architects of the building sector to help achieve 70 percent emission reduction target as contained in the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) earlier this month.

The Philippines sets the target to reduce 70% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 relative to its business-as-usual scenario of 2000-2030.

Alvarez issued his call during the celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Philippine Society of Ventilating, Air-conditioning and Refrigerating Engineers (PSVARE) at the Solaire Resort and Casino.

The PSVARE is a member of the Philippine Green Buildings Initiative (PGBI) with members including, the United Architects of the Philippines, Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers, Philippine Institute of Interior Designers, Heritage Society and the Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers, among others.

Alvarez cited the group for its major contribution in the crafting of the Philippines National Framework Strategy on Climate Change in 2010 especially the development of one of the 6 mitigation pillars of the Framework – the See help, page A13

Jaro archdiocese to plant 150k trees A Catholic archdiocese wants to plant 150,000 trees in the province of Iloilo over the next year.

Early this year, the Archdiocese of Jaro has signed an agreement with the Iloilo provincial government which requires soon-to-wed couples to plant trees before they get married.

In line with the archdiocese’s 350th anniversary on Nov. 17, the church has set another challenge in response to Pope Francis’ environmental encyclical Laudato Si. Jaro archdiocesan social action director Msgr. Meliton Oso said the initial 5,000 saplings will be planted on Nov. 14 around Mt. Upaw in San Dionisio town.

He said the trees will be planted and nursed by residents in the area.

Iloilo faithful required to plant trees before marriage, etc.

“All parishes are encouraged to do the same, in collaboration with local government then residents of the nearby barangay would be given the opportunity to harvest the fruit trees,” Oso told Radio Veritas.

Meanwhile, the local church has also joined efforts in urging nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by leading a signature campaign in the province.

“We are pushing also the signature campaign pro-

moted by Global Catholic Climate Change Movement in time for the conference in Paris,” Oso said.

He added they are also facilitating lectures to give the faithful a deeper understanding about the encyclical as well as to create awareness on environmental issues.

“Prior to the signing of this agreement, some of our priests are already requiring marrying couples to plant trees before their wedding,” shared Msgr. Higinio C. Velarde, representing Jaro Archbishop Angel N. Lagdameo in the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) held on April 22, along with Iloilo Gov. Arthur Defensor Sr and Director Jim Sampulna of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources

(DENR) Western Visayas.

Important move “He may not be here with us today but this is very important for the archbishop,” the priest reportedly added, alluding to the MOA. After Yolanda uprooted thousands of trees in the province, including many century-old ones, with affected areas needing immediate reforestation, Velarde acknowledged the threats the effects of climate change poses, calling on the Iloilo faithful to act now before it is too late.

Once fully enforced, Iloilo Catholics who want to marry, have someone baptized or buried will be asked to plant trees in designated areas in each municipality to be called “Tree Park of Life.” (R. Lagarde / CBCPNews)

Recto bats for specific fund for El Niño

Despite the threat of an El Niño depressing farm output and dampening economic growth, there is no fund in the 2016 budget which is specifically earmarked to cushion the effects of the projected dry spell.

“Is there a single peso in the P3 trillion budget which is labelled as an El Niño mitigation fund? The answer is no,” Senate President Pro-Tempore Ralph Recto said.

While Recto admits that there are funds in the next year’s budget which can be tapped to mitigate the effects of the climate phenomenon, it would be better, he stressed, that these be “classified from the very start as an El Niño fighting fund.”

“El Niño should be a macroeconomic assumption of the budget. If treated as such, then we can tailor the budget so that the end result is that there will be no drought of funds in tackling El Niño. It’s better if funds to address El Nino are itemized. That way we can set targets and pinpoint responsibility,” Recto explained.

“The challenge is to set aside and label these funds as El Nino mitigation resources,” he said.

In its second semester outlook, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said 32 provinces will be affected by the dry spell See fund, page A13

Comelec gives candidates five days for ‘COC’ filing Bukidnon • Camiguin • Lanao del Norte • Lanao del Sur • Misamis Occidental • Misamis Oriental

By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City--The Commission on Elections (Comelec) in Northern Mindanao is now ready for the scheduled five-day filing of Certificate of Candidacy (COC) starting today (October 12), a poll official said yesterday.

Atty. Renato A. Magbutay, Comelec regional director for Northern Mindanao, said Comelec satellite offices will be open for the filing of COC from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. only.

Magbutay said the filing of COC and the Certificate of Nomination and Acceptance (Cona) will end on

Otober 16 at 5 in the afternoon.

He clarified that Cona is no longer required for independent candidate, but only those candidate running under ethe Comelec-accredited party.

The good news is, said Magbutay, Cona can now be filed using the paper and logo of any Comelecaccredited party.

Anyone can file his or her COC with the Comelec. “The tasks of election officers and supervisors are purely ministerial,” explained Magbutay, adding, “we have no power to reject any COC in regard to its merit.”

He said that only the Comelec en banc Manila can declare any

candidate “nuisance.”

On one hand, Magbutay urged candidates belonging to political party or, any individual to observe proper decorum when filing their respective COCs. He said it is not necessary that candidates bring with them all their supporters during the filing of COCs. For local candidates, he said the start of the campaign period is on March 26 next year until May 7.

“Supposed to be the start of the campaign period is on March 25, but it falls on Good Friday,” said Magbutay, adding, “so, it [campaign period] will understandably start of Black Saturday.”

DA extends support to local farm equipment fabricators

By AURELIUS ARAIS

BUTUAN City--The Department of Agriculture (DA) in Caraga recently conducted a coordination meeting with local fabricators of farm machineries and organized them into an association.

Spearheaded by the Regional Agricultural Engineering Division (RAED), the meeting was aimed at

helping local fabricators be at par or competitive with the industry’s other participants anywhere in

the country. Some 18 local manufacturers and dealers attended.

RAED Chief Engineer Rene Morales said the meeting was the first time the Department of Agriculture recognized local fabricators as potential suppliers of high quality farm machineries.

“Performance of products is the parameter for a company to join public bidding of farm equipment to be supplied to farmer recipients,” Morales stressed.

Foremost requirement to joining a public bidding, the machine should conform to the standards set by the Philippine Ag-

ricultural Engineering Standards (PAES), thus, a testing of the machine must be conducted to determine its efficiency.

The test is done solely by the Agricultural Machinery Testing and Evaluation Center (AMTEC) based at the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB).

The PAES is part of the Philippine Standards for Agriculture and Fisheries Machinery developed by the PSAE, AMTEC, and other DA agencies by virtue of Department of Agriculture Administrative Order No. 11 Series of 2001.

As initial assistance, DA Caraga consolidated

local fabricators who are ready for testing by AMTEC engineers in Caraga.

“We are grateful that the DA is extending us assistance because it is so expensive if AMTEC will conduct the testing individually,” local fabricator Noel Honorio said.

DA-Caraga annually conducts public bidding for pre and post harvest facilities farm equipment such as tractors, floating tillers, threshers among others in support to its banner interventions for corn, rice, high-value crops development programs, organic livestock and special projects.

You need to become good even others are not The Gospel of Jesus Christ (October9, 2015-Friday)But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only

one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part: It was their culture to entertain a certain visitor but take note; Jesus had many companions because he never journeyed alone. May analysis to this; it was not easy for these two women to prepare the foods for them: Revelation 20:12”And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were

opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. Martha did the rights things to prepare something to eat. Mary listened to Jesus intimately. Both these Women did great things.

This is an image of a balance life. Ora it Labora. Pray and work. Martha showed

her irritation to Mary for not helping her; but Jesus defended Mary for choosing the right thing. Anyway; Jesus never questioned Martha for preparing the foods but for her reactions to Mary. Sometimes we are questioning others for not doing the same things. We pinpoint others for not doing the right things. For me; Martha supposedly focused her business at that time.

You need to do something because you chose it. You are doing it because you believe it is necessary to do it. You need to become good even others are not, you need to be honest even others cannot, you need to be good even others do not: Printing paid by: Neneth Ranoa - Bobong Balino- Edith Ranoa, PhDTony Jordan – Cagayan De Oro: My new number:

Lianga,SurSur SLP participants open water refilling station Surigao del Sur--Some 40 partner-beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program decided to merge their Php10,000 capital seed fund from the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) to put up a project named “Acquacuevah Water Refilling Station” in Brgy.Manyayay, municipality of Lianga, this province.

Inaugurated last October 6, 2015, the SLP program participants desired not only to alleviate their living conditions, but also to provide their community with affordable potable water.

Acquacuevah is derived from the words “aqua” which means water and “cuevas” which means cave.

It denotes that the water source of the project is a cave that is 2-kilometer

away from Davisol.

Davisol or Divine Arc Victory Instituted in Sion Omnipotent in this Latter Days of Christ is a small community headed by a master (APO) and seven housewives, resulting to a more than 5 dozens children and grandchildren.

To suffice other needs for the project implementation, the group decided to come up with Capital Buildup Plan worth Php1,500.

The community also underwent “bayanihan” or voluntary service during construction.

Knowing that the project is of great help, the community of Davisol agreed to extend help in the efficient implementation of the project. Through the community, an area and a delivery vehicle for the

Water Refilling Station were provided.

During the inauguration, Renato M. Lastra, President of Lianga SKA Federation, expressed his thanks to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

“We are so blessed and fortunate to become the recipients of DSWD programs, like the Pantawid Pamilya, Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS), SLP, and PAyapa at MAsaganang PaMAyanan(PAMANA),” he added.

“Ipadayon namu na maghiusa ug magtinabangay alang sa kalambuan ani na proyekto (We will continue to unite and help

each other for the progress of this project),” added Carmelita Alinsug, SLP program participant.

Roy Serdena, SLP regional coordinator, who also graced the inauguration, congratulated the partner-beneficiaries for their achievement.

The SLP is a community-based capacity-building program of DSWD that seeks to improve the socio-economic status of the program participants through micro-enterprise development and employment. It has two (2) tracks namely: Micro-Enterprise Development Track and Employment Facilitation Track. ###(MARY CARMELLE C. JUMAWAN/Social Marketing Unit/ DSWD Field Office Caraga)

answer them later. This way you have time to think about it and check your own schedule and responsibilities first.

Maybe you can help this other person, but at a different time then they asked.

Or, you can help them if they’ll take care of the job or errand you won’t be able to do because you’re helping them. Often, people will still be thankful for your help.

So have you been stressed because you’re always saying yes? You realize you’re giving too much time and energy to helping everyone who asks you for a favor or help, and your family’s been hurting since you’re neglecting your responsibilities to them. Just ask Jesus Christ to forgive you. Jesus will help you learn how to wisely choose when to say yes and when to say no.

Just Think a Minute.

into one angle of dengue and other temperaturerising illnesses such as meningo-coccemia, SARS, Corona-Merscov and others, that had not been looked into all these years.

He said yes, he was willing to do so, so I briefed him on what the Bible is saying as the cause of dengue and similar diseases, and of global warming and climate change, which is that, dengue and global warming are God’s curses, promised to people who no longer listen to His Word, the Bible, and who no longer obey His commands.

He said this was a radical point of view, a big paradigm shift for him. Yet, he agreed to look into my point. I was profusely thankful to God that someone like Dr. Solidum, a known dengue specialist, finally agreed to explore how dengue can be fought, using Biblical principles, particularly those found in the Books of Blessings and Curses.

May God be glorified!

a Coast Guard official said.

Sarangani Coast Guard station Chief Lt. George Maganto , said eight pirates on two motorized boats boarded the tanker, M/V Cecilia V, near Olanivan Island in Davao Occidental Saturday morning.

Sensing danger upon seeing the pirates who were

about to board the ship, M/V Cecilia V skipper Elvy Lim immediately ordered his 20 crewmen to lock themselves in their rooms.

Maganto said Elim also ordered the crew to close all hatches to prevent the pirates from entering the bridge and the rest of the ship.

“The pirates spent more than 20 minutes walking around the ship but they were not able to enter the rest of the ship. They left after they probably tired out,” Maganto said.

He said Elim also called to inform the Coast Guard that armed pirates were about to board their ship.

Maganto said Coast Guard personnel from their station in Malabinuang in Jose Abad Santos town in Davao Occidental responded to the distress call and arrived 30 minutes after but found the pirates already gone.

He said M/V Cecilia V continued their voyage and is now safely anchored in Barangay Bula, General Santos City.

M/V Cecilia V is operated by Ligaya Martime Ventures Corporation and was carrying 950 metric tons of copra from Mati, Davao Oriental to General Santos City at the time.

The ship plies the MatiG eneral Santos route.

of Lianga, Barobo, San Miguel and San Agustin in Surigao del Sur. “Although the group is under the leadership of Jomar Bocales, the most vocal warriors are the groups of Bobby Tejero and Marcial Melendrez (another former NPA rebel),” the report said.

Bocales, in an interview with MindaNews, admitted that Bobby Tejero, his brother Loloy and Layno used to be part of the armed group he formed with Datu Calpit Egua in October 2014.

He said Calpit and the Tejero brothers including Layno had a falling-out when their group leader, Hassan Flores, went back to the New People’s Army in Surigao del Sur bringing with him five high-powered firearms last July 11.

NPA commander Ka Emman confirmed that Flores, a former rebel, returned to their ranks bringing the firearms he seized from Bocales and the Tejero brothers.

The military report said the armed group led by Calpit is operating in the towns of Bayugan and Prosperidad in Agusan del Sur, and San Miguel in Surigao del Sur. It also identified armed groups that are with Datu Jasmin: Datu Alah, Datu Benhur Mansalunay, and Datu Sunjay.

Bocales said Calpit, who is his uncle, is the richest among the datus (tribal chieftains) having a gold ore mining site in the boundary of Barangay La Purisima in

Prosperidad town and Barangay San Juan in Bayugan town, all in Agusan del Sur. He said it was Calpit not the military who armed the Baganis after a failed attempt by the NPA to overrun his camp in Barangay Sta. Irene, Prosperidad town in July 2014.

Calpit was wounded while his brother, Nestor, died in the attack where at least 13 NPA rebels were killed.

During the Senate public hearing on the Lumad killings in Tandag, Surigao del Sur, Father Glen Acosta, assistant parish priest of Barobo, Surigao del Sur said town residents told him the camp of Datu Jasmin is located near an Army detachment in Barangay Mamis, Barobo.

In the report, Jasmin is described as “sympathetic with government forces especially to the Philippine Army.”

At least one armed group—the Datu Alah tribal group—was described in the report as having been “augmented by elements of the PNP Surigao del Sur Provincial Office” to restore order in Barangay Pantukan in San Miguel town.

The report identified logging and rattan-cutting operations as the main sources of livelihood for most of the Bagani armed groups especially those with Mansalunay.

Several violent incidents involving these groups were mentioned in the report notably the seizure of mining equipment of CNC Mining Company in Carrascal town last May 11. The Baganis reportedly demanded P24 million for the return of the equipment.

The report also said several datus including Romel Alah of Barangay Pantukan, Carrascal were killed by NPA rebels.

Tandag Bishop Nereo Odchimar has called for the disbandment and disarming of all paramilitary groups that are accused of sowing terror in Lumad communities believed to be sympathetic to the NPA. Surigao del Sur Gov. Johnny Pimentel has urged the Philippine Army to disband and disarm the Baganis calling them “a security threat to the residents.”

The Army has denied it is supporting and arming the Bagani armed groups.

The killings took place in Sitio Han-ayan, Barangay Diatagon in Lianga town, Surigao del Sur. In a public hearing in Tandag City conducted by the Senate committee on justice last week, witnesses identified some of the suspects as Bobby Tejero, Loloy Tejero and Garito Layno.

During the hearing, Bishop Odchimar asked if an “unholy alliance” existed between the military and the Magahat-Bagani owing to observations that the group seemed to be acting with impunity. of the total energy consumption of the country next to the transport sector. “CO2 emission from electricity and heat production (in PH) is about 36.6 million tones,” he said.

“Retrofitting old buildings to become more efficient, and making sure green buildings are built to higher standards, will lower energy demand and will significantly improve water, materials and resource efficiency. The Green Building code, if properly implemented, will reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions by 1.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually,” Alvarez said.

Alvarez is optimistic that within the 15-year period, until 2030, the reduction target of 70% would be met.

But scant rain in the first half of the year already shrank rice, corn and sugar cane harvests for the period.

Recto is proposing that “El Niño adaptation programs” be written into the language governing the use of farm and disaster budgets for 2016.

These are: • P53.4 billion for the Department of Agriculture (DA), including P5 billion in budgetary support to six

Military officials who attended the hearing denied accusations they were coddling the armed group.

“Our Lumad brothers and sisters who live in their ancestral land in the mountains are divested in many ways. Divested of their right to education, equal opportunity to basic services of the government.

They continue to experience discrimination, human rights violations and victims of persecution and exploitation of those in power.

They are “the Anawim of Yahweh” in our time – the poor of God. They do not have defenders and fighters for their human rights that is meant for all of God’s creation,” the apostolic statement said.

“The death of their lead-

ers and displacement of thousands among them only reflect their situation – a situation without security for their lives, a situation of being always under threat, a situation without protection even under our laws.

This is not just. This is not the will of God! “We also call on all faithful to continue praying for justice, peace and deliverance of our Lumad brothers and sisters and to continue giving help because until now, they are still in the evacuation center at the Tandag City sports complex,” it added.

Around 3,000 evacuees from Diatagon ang neighboring areas fled their homes on the same day the killing occurred.

DA-attached agencies • P38.4 billion for the four agencies under the Office of the Presidential Assistant for Food Security and Agricultural Modernization (OPAFSAM), broken down as follows: P32.7 billion for the National Irrigation Administration (NIA); P4.2 billion for the National Food Authority (NFA); P1.3 billion for the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA); and P80 million for the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority • P38.9 billion for the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management also known as the Calamity Fund “In all, there’s almost P131 billion next year from which funds for El Niño mitigation can be drawn. The next step is to create specific mandates in each for El Niño abatement,” Recto said.

In calling for such earmarking, Recto cited next year’s Calamity Fund which sets aside P18.9 billion for reconstruction of Yolandahit areas.

“At present, if you examine the budget of these agencies, you can’t find a specific instruction on El Niño. My take is that it should be incorporated there even for signalling purposes, to convey to our farmers the message of hope that there’s money to fight off this dry spell,” he said.

Recto, however, said that government need not wait for 2016, to kick-start El Niño mitigation measures.

“It should be done now.

You prepare for dry spell when there’s still some rain.

When you start building a dam when the spring had dried up,

then it’s too late,” Recto said in stressing that “2015 funds are still available.”

He cited the case of the P14 billion Calamity Fund this year whose latest balance according to the Department of Budget and Management’s records is P9.6 billion.

“The Calamity Fund can be used for pre-disaster operations and other activities that would build up resiliency, so dapat magamit na ito,” Recto said.

On top of this is the P6.7 billion in Quick Response Fund (QRF) which is embedded in the budget of seven agencies, including the DA which has an assigned QRF of P500 million.

This year, too, the DA and the OPAFSAM have a “combined budget of P89.1 billion,” Recto said.

NIA, one of the OPAFSAM agencies, has money to open up 20,650 hectares of riceland to irrigation and rehabilitate existing systems in 23,200 hectares, Recto said. “This El Niño mitigation measure should be nearing completion by now.”

He said DA’s 2015 budget for rice production of P6.9 billion should have been used to guide and support farmers in using drought-resistant seeds.

Recto said all efforts must be done to shield the farm sector from “the withering effects of El Niño” as it accounts for 11 percent of the GDP. “Agriculture also employs one-third of the labor force.

And the most important thing is that we can’t afford for the prices of food to go up due to a supply crunch caused by El Niño,” Recto said.
