Aquino rewarding allies with share in corruption? Second of three parts By MARYA SALAMAT of Bulatlat.com
KMU members burned an image of SSS president and CEO Emilio de Quiros during their picket at the SSS gates yesterday. They changed the meaning of the agency’s logo to “Sindikato ng mga Swapang sa Salapi” (roughly, syndicate of the money-greedy). They said the huge bonus is Aquino’s reward for allies in the SSS board. The reward, they said, constitutes the allies’ share of corruption in the government of Aquino, whom they dubbed as the “Pork Barrel President.” Aside from de Quiros who was known for being the brother of newspaper columnist Conrad de Quiros, who was one of the first to have campaigned for then Senator Aquino to run for the presidency, the other SSS board members include “yellow labor FLOOD PRONE AREA.

The PAO official confirmed reports of jail officials that there are no overstaying inmates. She said the mandatory jail visit is aside from the other visits being made for the issuance of judicial affidavits of their clients. “PAO’S weekly visit is an indication that there is no reason for this committee to claim that there might be overstaying,” Tabor said upon hearing the report. He said he is satisfied with the role of PAO in determining the prisoners’ status on whether or not are overstaying. “I am impressed with the report of the director in enlightening the committee on the 17 names of inmates submitted,” he added.

THE city council of Cagayan de Oro and the provincial government of Misamis Oriental reviewed this week their disaster preparedness in light of the destructive earthquake that struck Cebu and Bohol on Monday. Councilor Alden Bacal, chairman of the committee on public utilities, said the disaster risk management council has been called to convene and assess the earthquake preparedness of the city government. Bacal added that the Office of Building Official and its team of engineers
have begun checking buildings, especially high-rise buildings, around the city following the Monday quake which registered Intensity 4 in Cagayan de Oro. It was learned that the public market building in Cogon suffered cracks. Bacal also expressed the need for the legislative building at City Hall to have its own generator set in case of brownout. He said this would be needed by an operations center in times of disasters. In Misamis Oriental, See REVIEWS/p.11

Lawmaker files bill changing opening of classes to September By Jazmin S. Camero
A lawmaker wants to change the opening of the school year from June to September saying floods disrupt the schedule of classes during the rainy season. Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla (2nd District, Cavite) filed House Bill 104 proposing to change the current school calendar from June to September to ensure the safety of the students, teachers and their guardians from waterborne and floodrelated diseases as well as street-repair accidents. “The changing of the school calendar will help lessen the dangers posed to
their health like respiratory diseases, dengue fever and leptospirosis, especially when classes are abruptly suspended or cancelled because of the rains and floods that threaten the safety of these individuals,” Mercado-Revilla said. Mercado-Revilla cited the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration’s (PAGASA) report stating that 19 to 20 typhoons visit the country every year beginning June up to September. “For the past years, the torrential rains and heavy floods have often disrupted classes in all levels resulting in the suspension and
irregularity of school days,” Mercado-Revilla said. “As much as 25 to 30 days are subtracted from the school calendar, as recorded in the previous years,” Mercado-Revilla added. Mercado-Revilla said only the Philippines and Brunei are the countries in the Asia-Pacific region that open their regular classes in June. Mercado-Revilla said Malaysia and Singapore open their classes in January, China in February, South Korea in March, Japan and India in April, Thailand in May, Indonesia in July and Hong Kong in September.

Energization project to go on despite DAP mess By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN, Regional Editor-Caraga
SAN Francisco, Agusan del Sur––The local electric cooperative of this province will still pursue the energization of some 4,000 households in the far-flung areas of this province even as a complaint against Mala-

they received a go-signal from the National Electrification Administration to pursue the implementation of the project after some P70 million DAP fund is now transferred to regular General Appropriations Act fund.
But the remaining some 1,000 households expected to enjoy the comforts of having electricity at home will have to wait for next year since they are not included to the GAA realigned funding. Aselco was targeting
to energize at least 5,000 households in the far-flung areas by December 15 this year but release of the DAP funds was temporarily halted early this month in the wake of the pork barrel controversy which also affected the Presidential fund.

National Meat Safety Consciousness Week kicks off in Pagadian City By ALMA L. TINGCANG
PAGADIAN CITY - Every consumer must be conscious of the safety of meat sold in the market and that it should undergo meat inspection to ensure that it is safe for human consumption. This was the gist of the message of Dr. Arturo S. De Jesus Jr, Regional Technical Director of the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) in a media forum held at Anastacia Pension House and Restaurant on Oct. 7 to drumbeat the celebration of the 41st National
Meat Safety Consciousness Week. “While it is true that we eat meat where we derive protein, it is possible that the unsuspecting consumer might be able to buy meat which may have not undergone meat inspection. If we buy contaminated
meat, we will also be infected with diseases. We should be aware and be able to identify fresh meat aside from asking for the meat inspection certificate from the meat dealer,” he explained. Dr. De Jesus cited a case of a young man who was afflicted with a disease caused by eating meat contaminated with cyst which caused him to experience epileptic seizure. Doctors found a cyst on his head so he had to be operated immediately.
Others may be infected with tapeworm which is common among domestic animals. He lauded the media for their crucial role in disseminating accurate and relevant information to the consuming public and rallied their support for a health conscious and more informed citizenry. This year’s theme is “Meat Safety for AEC: Gearing towards Asean Economic Community 2015.” “We are doing our best, in the Department of Ag-
riculture (DA) especially with NMIS, so that our meat inspection system will be at par, if not better than other ASEAN member countries come 2015. Not only improve our system of inspection but the upgrade of our laboratories, including how we raise our farm animals. Our goal for the regional economic integration is by 2015,” says Dr. De Jesus. The NMIS will continue to raise the standard by imposing proper meat inspection in the slaughterhouse
and upgrade existing facilities in the country so that we will be able to export our products to our Asean neighbors. De Jesus was joined by Dr. Wilson Baya, Senior Meat Control Officer; Ms. Susan Yecpot, Meat Science and Technology Division chief; Mr. Olympio Yecpot, Accreditation, Regulation Enforcement Division and Mr. Dino Sumalinog, chief of the Consumer Information and Protection Assistance Unit.

To address the health needs of IP communities, the Department of Health (DOH) in partnership with the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) shall be implementing culture-sensitive health services, Espallardo explained. It can be recalled that on April 19, 2013, a joint memorandum circular no. 2013-01 also known as “Guidelines on the Delivery of Basic Health Services for Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous People” was signed by DOH Secretary Enrique Ona, DILG Secretary Mar Roxas, and Zenaida Brigada Pawid of NCIP. Dubb ed “Kalusugang Pangkalahatan” for IPs under DOH’s Universal Health Care (UHC) program, it is geared towards achieving better health outcomes, sustained heath financing, and
responsive health care systems by making health services accessible to all especially the poor. Espallardo said the joint circular also employs a strategy known as the Geographicallyisolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDA) Health Systems Development (HSD) aimed at establishing a health system that would address health inequity in GIDAs and improve availability and access to health resources and services. “The key course of action of GIDA-HSD is the extension of basic and regular health facility-based services to the far-flung areas and marginalized population,” Espallardo pointed out. Dumingag has 23 barangays inhabited mostly by Subanen people. Its 12 barangay health stations need to be improved while 11 others have yet to be established. (FPG/ GCC/PIA9-Pagadian City)
Two of 4 seized men freed Culture-sensitive health in southern Philippines services implemented for IP in Dumingag town ZAMBOANGA CITY – Police forces have recovered before dawn Wednesday two of four people seized by gunmen in the southern Philippine province of Sulu, officials said. Senior Superintendent Abraham Orbita, police chief of Sulu province, said the victims – Bernal Joe and Absuwal Sasapan – were recovered by policemen in Tagbak village in Indanan town. The remaining hostages Dr Salladin Teo and Wilfred Ngo – are still being held captive. He said the four men were seized in Siasi, an islandtown off Sulu province late Tuesday and that since then police forces were tracking down the gunmen until Joe and Sasapan were recovered in Indanan town. “Two of the victims – Bernal Joe and Absuwal Sasapan – have been recovered by combined elements of the Siasi municipal and provincial police forces. We are still searching for
the remaining captives. The victims were all seized from Dr Teo’s house in Siasi and the gunmen dragged them to a waiting speedboat and escaped. There was a pursuit operation shortly after the abduction and one report claimed the victims landed in (the village of) Luuk Tulay in Pata town where our forces are now deployed,” Orbita told the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner.
He said the two freed men were immediately brought to hospital for medical examination and later to the police headquarters in Jolo town for debriefing. “The motive of the abduction is still unknown,” he said. No group claimed responsibility for the abductions, but Abu Sayyaf rebels have been largely blamed for many ransom kidnappings in the province. (Mindanao Examiner)
DUMINGAG, Zamboanga del Sur, Oct. 16 (PIA) – Indigenous people’s (IP) pregnant women will no longer suffer from complications of pregnancy, as health services are now being intensified for them Senior reproductive health specialist Dr. Noel Espallardo of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has assured during the recent launching of Indigenous People-Maternal Neonatal Care, Health and Nutrition (IP-MCNH) ProjectMindanao at the Dumingag Cultural Center that outreach health service activities would be regularly conducted to the IP communities. Espallardo said “the IPs, who are among the most disadvantaged of the Philippine populace, are vulnerable to inequities in health. The isolation of IPs contributes to the barriers in their access to health services.”

DAVAO DEL NORTE l DAVAO DEL SUR lDAVAO DEL ORIENTALl COMPOSTELA VALLEY
Davao City dad blames housing developments for water crisis DAVAO CITY – Second District City Councilor Danilo C. Dayanghirang has blamed the inefficiency of the Davao City Water District (DCWD) in meeting the increasing demands of new housing developments for the water crisis being experienced by the city these days. “We have a water crisis in the city not only in the second district but also in the first district,” according to Dayanghirang, who is also the chairperson of the Davao City Council Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. While he could not present data on the city’s water supply and demand, he said there are many indications that will confirm the water crisis in the city including records from the City Health Office which show that one of the top health problems here is the increasing cases of gastrointestinal diseases. One of the main reasons DCWD seems to be having a problem supplying the whole city with water, is the increasing number of housing developments, he said. “Whe n we approve housing subdivisions, the
City Council requires a certification from DCWD that they can provide the water supply in the subdivision,” he said. The problem is that DCWD issues such certification paving the way for the approval of the subdivision project which turns out to be detrimental to the needs of the homeowners later on, he added. He said DCWD should be honest enough to admit if they are not capable of supplying the required water supply in the city given the housing development growth. “We need the intervention of the mayor because this problem has become serious,” he said. The usual direction is for the housing developer or contractor to provide temporary water supply to the homeowners until such time that the DCWD delivers.
However, he said, “We are now faced with a big problem because some subdivision is forcing the homeowners to get water from them even if DCWD can already supply the area.” “ This is a gray area which should be clarified by a local legislation. The council is at a quandary as to whether the subdivisions developers or contractors should seek a permit from the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) to can continue providing water to the homeowners,” he said. He said DCWD’s job is not only to provide water to the city but also to establish a sewerage system. But up to now, he said, there is no clear sewerage system for the city. “If DCWD is not capable of doing what is required of them by law,” he said, “then maybe they should be turned into a coopera-
tive.” DCWD spokesperson Imelda Magsuci however earlier said that Davao has enough water supply especially in the Dumoy area which supplies up to 70 percent of the city’s total water supply. She said they are working on the required documents that will allow them to develop the city’s surface water source. Latest data from DCWD’s website shows that water production has decreased by 0.75 percent from 7.94 million cubic meter in July to 7.88 million cubic meter in August this year. This is however a 1.73 percent increase compared to the 7.75 million cubic meter produced in August 2013. Ser vice connections installed also increased by 22.66 percent from 556 in August last year to 682 during the same month this year. (PNA)

GPH, MILF stuck on power-sharing By CAROLYN O. ARGUILLAS of MindanNews
Last of two-part series MINDANEWS sources in Kuala Lumpur said the parties did resolve some of the aspects on the structure of the ministerial form of government but a major element in the ministerial form as formulated was not acceptable to the government panel. Dropping it was not also acceptable to the MILF as it would “make the Bangsamoro Assembly no different from the ARMM’s Regional Legislative Assembly.” 989 days to June 30, 2016 By October 15, 2013, only 989 days are left until June 30, 2016, the end of the Aquino administration. Under the FAB, both government and the MILF had adopted a roadmap to ensure that the comprehensive agreement is signed within the last half of Aquino’s six-year term and his “legacy,” the Bangsamoro government, is in place by the time the President steps down. The “Roadmap to the Creation of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Political Entity” prepared by the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office in time for the signing of the FAB on October 15, 2012, listed 15 steps to 2016. These are: 1. Signing of the FAB by both parties; 2. Parties adopt Annex on the Transitional Arrangements and Modalities (the illustrated roadmap does not mention the annexes on powersharing, wealth-sharing and normalization but they should be on this Step); 3. Transition Commission (TransCom) is formed via Executive Order (EO); 4. Congress passes resolutions supporting the EO; 5. TransCom drafts Bangsamoro Basic Law bill; 6. Bill is submitted to Congress; 7. Bill is certified urgent by the President; 8. Congressional action on the bill; 9. Bill submitted to the President for approval; 10. President signs the bill into law; 11. Plebiscite is held for the ratification of the law; 12. Promulgation and ratification of the Bangsamoro Basic Law; 13. Bangsamoro Transition Authority is created. ARMM is deemed abolished; all devolved authorities are vested in the

Bangsamoro Transition Authority; 14. Ministerial form and Cabinet system of government will commence once the Bangsamoro Transition Authority is in place; and 15. Bangsamoro Transition Authority is replaced upon the election and assumption of the members of the Bangsamoro legislative assembly and the formation of the Bangsamoro government. Steps 1, 3 4, partly 2 and 5 of 15 steps A year after the FAB signing, the GPH and MILF peace panels have signed only two of four annexes; three Terms of Reference — for the Third Party Monitoring Team (TPMT), the Independent Commission on Policing (ICP), and the Sajahatra Bangsamoro; a certificate extending the tours of duty of the Malaysian-led International Monitoring Team up to March 2014 and the Ad Hoc Joint Action Group until February 14, 2014. The 15-member Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) tasked to draft the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) has been working but cannot proceed as fast as it would want to because of the unfinished two annexes. The TPMT and ICP have also started work but again cannot proceed quickly because the two annexes have yet to be completed. The panels have gone through Steps One, Three and Four of the roadmap but only half of Step Two and the early stages of Step 5. The panels hope to finish the drafting of the Basic Law by 2014 so that the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) can take over from the ARMM hopefully by late 2014 until the election of the first set of officials of the Bangsamoro in May 2016 and their assumption to office by noon of June 30, 2016. Peace panel members from both sides acknowledge that every month’s delay in the completion of the Annexes is a month taken away from the Basic Law drafting or viewed from another angle, a month taken away from the BTA.(Carolyn O.

While the KMU has criticized and protested the SSS move to hike members’ contributions, the SSS board including at least three who came from other labor groups agreed to the hike in premiums. During KMU’s protest in front of the SSS, they questioned the supposed labor representatives in the SSS board: Mr. Daniel Edralin of the Alliance of Progressive Labor (who received P1.12 million or $26,025), Ms. Marianita Mendoza of the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (who received P1.02 million or $23,702), and Mr. Ibarra Malonzo of the National Federation of Labor (P1.41 million or $32,764). The TUCP spokesman said they told Mendoza to return the million-peso bonus, as it had not been discussed with the TUCP. But he added that TUCP leaders had discussed and approved the SSS hike in premium. KMU’s Labog said that while Edralin and Mendoza may have hinted at their willingness to return the bonuses, “the fact that they decided to get the bonuses in the first place highlights their selfish and anti-worker nature.” “It seems that the socalled labor representatives to the SSS got their huge bonuses in exchange for their collusion with the Aquino government’s anti-member policies in the SSS, such as the 0.6 per cent increase in members’ premium. They have shown, again, that they are more loyal to their interests than to SSS members,” Labog said. In Congress where the Makabayan bloc of legislators is urging for the scheduling of their House Resolution calling for a probe on the “immoral bonuses,” Colmenares noted that the expression among a few board members to return the bonus is not enough, “because the whole board should do so.”

Chief Supt. Danilo Constantino, PNP Region 7 chief, said that the number of casualties was broken down into: 149 in Bohol, nine for Cebu, and one for Siquijor. While the number of wounded reached to 302 persons both in Bohol and Cebu. Constantino also said search and rescue operations are ongoing in the municipalities of Loon and Carmen in Bohol Province. Meanwhile, the Palace said the country needs the assistance of international experts for the restoration of the old churches in Bohol and Cebu damaged by the October 15 earthquake. In a press briefing in Malacanang on Thursday,
Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said Bohol churches must be rebuilt since the province’s economy relies on eco-tourism. “One of the things which is remarkable about Bohol is that Bohol thrives on eco-tourism. And one of the civic prides in Bohol is the number of churches, old churches that have been set up during the Spanish era,” Lacierda said. “What we need right now are restoration experts. If there is one assistance that we need, (they) are the restoration experts. Venice is one such capital where… If you remember, in the past, Venice was flooded. And so, there was a number of restoration works that was done in Venice.” “And so, what we need in terms of assistance also from our international friends would be experts in restoring churches, restoring all these national treasures. These are already heritage sites, and that’s what we are looking at,” he added. The Aquino administration wants to make sure that it could be able to restore the churches and the Department of Tourism is supportive of the initiative, the Palace official said. Asked what agenc y would be spearheading the restoration process, Lacierda said: “We’ll have to coordinate first. But as far as I know, Secretary of Tourism Mon Jimenez is one of the Cabinet secretaries who (is) actively involved in the restoration, primarily because it is in his jurisdiction. Eco-tourism is part of his mandate.” While in B ohol on Wednesday, President Benigno S. Aquino III said his government is committed to helping Bohol rehabilitate its churches damaged by the quake. L ob o c C hu rch and Baclayon Church, two of the oldest churches in the Philippines, were heavily damaged on Tuesday after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Bohol. Prior to the quake that hit the province Tuesday, both churches are being conserved by the National Museum with the funding from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). The NCCA spearheaded few years ago the conservation of 26 Spanish colonialera churches in the country, especially those that were recognized as National Cultural Treasures by the National Museum.

three years (2009-2012) with an annual average of 3.5 metric tons a hectare for yellow corn and 1.5 metric tons a hectare for white corn including the absence of aflatoxin, a toxic microorganism hazardous both to humans and animals. Unson said after the analysis held in the Agri-
cultural Resource Center in Bayugan City formerly known as the Pagkain ng Bayan Center, the province met the minimum requirement on the quality of corn grits. Agusan del Sur is ranked as the number one corn producing province in Caraga Region. According to the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics, the province’s total area planted to corn is 15,818 hectares - 10,217 hectares for white corn and 5,600 hectares for yellow corn based on the five-year Agri-Pinoy corn road map for 2009-2013. The award was implemented to recognize local government units with exceptional performance in the production of quality and safe corn for human and animal consumption leading to the development and competitiveness of the industry. It aims to encourage strong DA-LGU partnership and sustain awareness to the Agri-Pinoy Corn Program and activities of the department. The provincial government has given intensive support on corn production. Plaza admitted though that there are challenges with some program recipients but others are doing well in their farming methods. The governor is hopeful that some barangays will make the turn around as additional corn production equipment were recently handed out. Plaza called on the municipalities and barangays to support the program. “Kinakailangan natin ang tulong nila upang ang municipal agriculturist ay nakatutok din sa programang ito at kami naman dito sa probinsiya ay pupuno sa mga kakulangan. Dun papasok ang provincial funds natin, resources upang mapalawak ang ating programa sa yellow corn at sa ibat ibang produkto ng ating probinsiya. Kinakailangang aggressive ang ating municipal government lalong-lalo na ang ating mga barangay. ” He also expressed his gratitude to Secretary Alcala for the national recognition. He cited the department’s programs and initiatives which are benefitting the agriculture-based province. “Kami ay patuloy na tatangkilik sa mga programa ng ating national government upang patuloy nating mapapaganda ang kabuhayan ng ating mga magsasaka dito sa Agusan del Sur,” the governor added.

Maharlika village with floating houses in Agusan Marsh will still be lucky enough to be included in the project as electricity will reach there within this month. The BLEP and SEP has brought significant impact to electrification program of this densely populated province with an almost one million hectares of land area since the project would already cover 89 percent when electricity to the new thousands of hous eholds w i l l b e switched on. “It should have been a big loss if the project was totally stopped because the program has its fastest implementation when President Aquino assumed office,” Galarse said citing that in the past Aselco could only energize some three villages a year. He said President Aquino has released billions of pesos from DAP and GAA starting in 2010 with P500 million, P4 billion in 2011, P7 billion in 2012 and P10 billion this year. Amid the DAP controversy, Galarse said Aselco still got a bigger share from the GAA realigned fund while other funding to other electric cooperatives were totally put on hold. The DAP issue surfaced after Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, facing a plunder case for misuse of public funds through his pork barrel allegedly in cahoots with Janet Lim-Napoles, attacked Malacanang in his privilege speech questioning why he and other minority members of the Senate are being singled out in the corruption reports and pork barrel scam. He and two other Senators Juan Ponce Enrile and Ramon Revilla Jr. had been accused of plunder by the Department of Justice and National Bureau of Investigation at the Ombudsman. Malacanang has come to the defense of DAP, saying it was just a mechanism to accelerate spending and boost economic growth.

Governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano called on the provincial quick response team to determine how prepared the province is in case of a strong earthquake. Provincial administrator Jun Pacamalan said the governor has rated 5 in a scale of 1-10 the earthquake preparedness of the provincial government following an inspection. Pacamalan said the low rating was based on the lack of equipment for rescue and because the mindsetting of the disaster response team had been conditioned mainly for floods and landslides. Floods and landslides are the two most common disasters experienced in Misamis Oriental. Pacamalan said they also lack logistical support especially for communications. He said there is a provincial network of radio operators but the radio units no longer function. Pacamalan lamented the non-existence of a trust fund in which unexpended funds for calamity should have been deposited. He said they are now expecting 5% of the Internal Revenue Allotment for disaster management.

continued incarceration,” he stressed. SUPPORT For his part, City Prosecutor Macauyag informed the committee that it is the part of defense lawyers to move for the release of inmates or dismissal of the case of the accused. He, however, expressed his support to the thrust of the committee. “We can assure this committee that the prosecution is supporting very much this advocacy. We will see to it that PAO, private lawyers and the court will cooperate with the advocacy of the committee,” he added. Councilors Tabor and Edna Dahino expressed their gratitude to all those who graced this morning’s meeting. Tabor said he will challenge the committee on health chaired by Councilor Dante Pajo to hold medical missions at the city jail. “They are also persons worth the attention and care that is given to barangays. There is one neglected place and that is barangay city jail,” he stressed.
