House arrest for Senator Enrile?

Minority lawmakers have sought congressional intercession for the grant of house arrest to former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile.

Minority Leader Ronaldo B. Zamora (Lone District, San Juan City) and Hon. Rodolfo T. Albano III (1st District, Isabela) authored House Resolution 1959 “urging the Sandiganbayan to grant house arrest to Senator Juan Ponce Enrile for humanitarian considerations.

Several sectors have raised eyebrows on this development, but in the name compassionate justice let us give a chance to this proposal. Senator Enrile had been under hospital arrest at the PNP General Hospital in connection with the plunder charges he is facing before the Sandiganbayan. Lately on February 26, 2015, the Senator was rushed to the Makati Medical Center because of pneumonia. It is most humane to give the ailing old man

a chance to live his last few years in comfort.

Zamora and Albano cited Senator Enrile’s advanced age and current state of health which would require certain medical procedures and facilities to ensure his continued well-being. There’s nothing wrong with this because the PNP General Hospital lacks the necessary facilities to properly address Senator Enrile’s current health condition.

The lawmakers are also compassionate enough to plead for the mercy and consideration of the Sandiganbayan to grant house arrest to the former Senate President on “humanitarian grounds, pending the resolution of the plunder charges against him.

Let’s face it, Enrile has also done many things for our country.

Editorial

Basic Unit of our Republic (Part 1)

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is urging everyone throughout the nation to attend their respective Barangay Assembly on Saturday, March 28.

It is in compliance with PNoy’s presidential proclamation requiring all barangays to convene their Assembly twice a year (last Saturday of March and second Sunday of October), with an agenda provided through a memorandum circular for the purpose.

However we may feel about such directive, particularly as to how it manipulates the exercise of sovereignty and our citizens’ right to assemble as often as we please, we might as well go along and view it as an opportunity to awaken our community to its role in the larger context—as the basic unit of the Philippine Republic and a microcosm of Philippine society.

It is very important that we be conscious at all times that We, Sovereign Citizens, are the source of the government’s legitimacy and of its officials’ authority.

Assertive Sovereignty Such community assemblies serve an essential purpose in fostering a sense of belonging and solidarity among the neighborhoods while heightening consciousness among the officials concerning their duties and obligations as public servants.

Provided people take part in its deliberations and not allow

themselves to be dominated by officials who monopolize proceedings, the Barangay Assembly can rescue the community from being blithely ruled and manipulated by presumptuous traditional politicos (trapos) with selfish agendas and dynastic pretensions.

Literally a constituent assembly, this Barangay Assembly affirms and embodies the paramount role of the popular will in the acts and decisions of government.

Unless the people convene periodically, exchange views, and build consensus on how to secure their interests and the common good, the grassroots will remain helpless captives of trapos, their cronies, and other predators. It is incumbent upon the people to be vigilant and practice an assertive brand of sovereignty.

Establishing Responsible Government Too many people forget that they are responsible for good governance at every level.

Starting with their own barangay, their votes establish governments on all levels all the way to Malacañang and Congress.

And they also forget that responsible governments are created by responsible citizens while irresponsible citizens create irresponsible governments.

Thus the people’s essential role in creating governments cannot be overemphasized.

Anyone unhappy with the conduct of government, espe-

Think a minute…

A hotel sign in Tokyo, Japan had this rule on it: “Is forbidden to steal towels please. If you are not person to do such is please not to read sign.” Someone said that rules are like a fence around us. We need them to keep us inside so we won’t break out and hurt ourselves or others. We have rules at home, at work, at school, in sports, and for driving on the road. And if we move to another country and culture, we must learn to follow their rules.

Many people think Christians are a group of people who just try to follow strict, boring rules that are old fashioned and definitely not cool! They think Christians can’t have any fun or

cially their own barangay or municipal government, should look inward and consider if they themselves are to blame.

But simply acknowledging the blame won’t do any good. It won’t make government or the officials change their behavior.

Power of One Citizens with a desire for good governance—and who perform their role in its processes—can change the behavior of government. They can because their sovereign power, aided by the law, provides them the strength and the basis for imposing their will, bending wrongful conduct, and stopping graft and corruption.

Asserting the sovereign power of a citizen, using it to reform government or politics, is the important point in the deliberations of the Barangay Assembly. For this Assembly is People Power in a real, actual sense. It is power which starts with an individual participating

in the governing process.

This “Power of One,” combined with those of other individuals, strengthens the community’s collective power—which establishes or disestablishes government. To be reminded of this power, to wield it along with the rest of the community, is to bring about the realization of communal wishes and expectations and promote the common good.

As a great American thinker wrote more than a century ago, “Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that is the first step toward attaining it.” (Henry David Thoreau, 1849, America’s first and foremost practitioner of the Power of One.) To enable every Filipino to make known what kind of government would command his respect, the Gising Barangay Movement offers an eight-point Agenda, which we shall detail in this column starting Part 2 onwards.

prison wall that won’t let you out to have fun and enjoy life.

But that’s not true Christianity!

Jesus Christ Himself said He did not come to bring more rules to build a tighter fence around us so that we become prisoners.

It’s just the opposite! Jesus said He came to set people free, so we won’t need rules to keep us honest or force us to love and forgive others.

Jesus isn’t nearly as interested in rules as He’s interested in YOU. He knows that if you’ll just let Him take full charge of your heart and character every day, He can start changing your life. Then you and I won’t be like children who need a lot of rules to tell us what and what not to

do. For example, if you truly love your neighbor, then you don’t need a rule to stop you from stealing from him, since you never steal from someone you really love and care about.

When God the Son changes our heart and character inside, then everything we do comes from the new person we’re becoming.

Jesus’ love and power starts to set us free from being a prisoner to our selfish greed and dishonesty.

So won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for your wrong, self-centered heart? Then ask Him to start changing you, so you can enjoy the success and freedom of having Jesus’ character and life yourself, which is so much more than rules.

Five persons in the vicinity were also injured in the conflagration that started at around 2:40 p.m. at the house of a certain Inday Findo, who escaped unharmed.

Jane Campaner, the barangay secretary, said that more than 100 persons have been displaced by the fire that razed mixed light and concrete houses in Barangay 35 along Yacapin Extension, a street that leads to the Limketkai Commercial Center here.

The fire was totally contained at 4:04 p.m. A total of 200 to 300 homes within the two-block radius were destroyed and a still undetermined number were damaged.

The victims of the fire were immediately taken care of by the barangay council in the area.

Teleron said that the fire investigators are still conducting an investigation of the incident.

This system reflects the idea that if there is a clear vision and strategy, so that people performing the tasks can easily understand the rationale behind a made decision. It aims to provide transparency, in which people are given information of the job they have.

It also helps ensure stra-

tegic, responsive, and effective delivery of services of all levels in education department so that in result, the implementation of a learner-centered school, school-based management system and the K to 12 strategies could be effective and productive.

There are four stages under RPMS. These are performance planning and commitment, performance monitoring and coaching, performance review and evaluation, and finally, performance rewarding and planning. Each of this stage targets enhancement on execution of tasks among performing individuals.

The conduct of RPMS in entire DepEd community is another step to continuous progress. It eyes not just improvement on service delivery or on DepEd at large, for it is also a tool of individual improvement.

DAR-Agnor gives out 94% of total work scope, serves 20, 312 farmers

By Gil Miranda

UTUAN CITY – At least 20, 312 farmers are now owners of the land they till. After 27 years since Pres.

Corazon Aquino signed the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP), the Department of Agrarian Reform has implemented the government’s flagship program in Agusan del Norte by way of equitable distribution of lands.

Total hectare handed out in the province is now 40, 423 hectares or 94 percent of the total revised provincial CARP scope of 43, 216 hectares of which 20, 312 farmers are beneficiaries.

Since year 2000, program implementation in the province took an upward growth with 22,860 hectares of land distributed and posted a 5.7 percent climb. The trend was maintained from 2004 when Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer (PARPO) Andre Atega took his post in 2004 up to present.

For the books, Atega broke all land distribution records as CARP implementer.

According to Atega, DAR Secretary Virgilio delos Reyes had ordered all remaining land acqui-

sition and distribution balance to be delivered this year.

“The directive was given during an assessment meeting in Manila following DAR-Caraga Regional Director Faisar Mambuay’s presentation of the CARP status report of Caraga,” Atega said.

In a me et ing w it h Mambuay, Atega introduced an innovative approach to accelerate the distribution of the remaining 2,793 hectares as targeted in 2015 and delivery before the first semester.

“A weekly monitoring with the aid of Office Performance Commitment and Review (OPCR) ensures the progress of land acquisition and distribution in this province and the achievement of the target in the first

BETTER LIFE BECAUSE OF AGRARIAN REFORM INTERVENTIONS -- In a dialogue with DAR-Caraga Regional Director Faisar Mambuay, Agusan del Norte Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer Andre Atega (with microphone) assures that target land acquisition and distribution target in the first semester of 2015 in his province will be achieved as he praised CARP provincial implementers for their unqualified support and commitment to the objectives of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program.

Atega praised DAR provincial staff, employees and stakeholders who “tirelessly” supported his administration in pushing CARP forward, and because of “their dedication and commitment to the objectives of the program, farmer-beneficiaries’ lives and cooperatives’ undertakings have improved and have become successful.

Their stories are proofs that life because of agrarian reform interventions can indeed be better.”

WHEN I was still in high school, I frequently heard this anecdote. It’s quite funny so I’ll share it with you: A man wakes up in the morning after sleeping on an advertised bed in advertised pajamas. He will bathe in an advertised tub, wash with advertised soap, shave with an advertised shaver and have advertised juice, cereal and toasted bagel (toasted in an advertised toaster) for breakfast. He’ll then put on advertised clothing and glance at his advertised watch. He will ride to work in advertised car, call in to let his office know he’s running late from his advertised cell phone and sit down in

Advertising – the right to choose

an advertised desk chair when he gets to the office.

He’ll work at his advertised computer and write with an advertised pen. Yet this man hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising won’t work. Finally, when his unadvertised business goes under, he advertises it for sale.

It’s a funny little story yet it packs a lot of truth.

Personally, I’m gonna enumerate now the number of advertised things I consume upon waking up. The first things I do upon waking up are taking three deep breaths, stretching my legs, saying a little prayer, tuning in to Bombo Radyo and drinking tap but treated

water from COWD. Okay that’s two brand names already. Next I’ll trim the little darn hairs on my chin, wash my face with warm water and take my shower with Camay liquid soap, Dove shampoo and conditioner and apply A Bonne milk salt on my elbows. Next I put on Nike shirt, Jag jeans and apply my hair with Gatsby wax.

Then I eat breakfast, brush my teeth with Close-Up toothpaste and I’m good to go. Then I flag down a jeepney and read Mindanao Daily, Mindanao Gold Star Daily and Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro here in the office.

Okay count on the brands that I have mentioned.

CDO is packed with small enterprises. Do they need to advertise? They must advertise so people can know that such an establishment exists. In return, they can easily recoup their initial investment. Makes sense, right?

Entrepreneurs would usually say that Facebook is a free tool to advertise one’s business. After all, 32 percent of Filipinos are crazy Facebook users. But that’s not enough. Not everyone is on social media all the time. That’s why it is still a sound decision to advertise in a community paper like Mindanao Daily which has an all-island reach.

Davao are the ones who call their local papers that they wish to advertise their products and services. Our Oro Chamber members here must be oriented to have the same mindset. In a way, advertising saves you money by eliminating sales lost simply because the consumer didn’t have enough knowledge of what you’re offering. You can use advertising to educate potential buyers so they can compare shop early. Minus advertising, your consumer base will be limited to a few locals, faithful friends and super supportive relatives.

In 2010 alone, spending on advertising was estimated at US$467 billion worldwide

but methinks personally that it was well worth it.

That’s just little compared to global consumer spending in the same year that totaled US$12 trillion. So advertise your business.

Fresh Gospel of the day: (March20, 2015-Friday) John 7:1-2”After these things Jesus was walking in Galilee, for He was unwilling to walk in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him. Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was near. But when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as if, in secret. So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill? Look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they? “However, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one knows where He is from.” Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know: Do you experience fear because you are

thinking that somebody around you has a bad intention towards you?

Jesus had that fear also but he was able to handle it. There is no wrong if you are afraid to anyone but you need to know on to manage your negative emotion for you to continue your dreams.

Take note, out of 100 negative thoughts and emotions, only little percent is true, the rests are false and out of your imagination. Sometimes we are discouraged to do a certain thing in life because we judge already the results as well as, the outcomes.

Labor...

from page A4 Under the new scheme of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), the agency is assisting and monitoring companies in complying with labor laws rather than slapping them with fines for violating labor laws.

The new system is the integrated framework for voluntary compliance and enforcement of labor laws, inculcating a culture of fair, expeditious and non-litigious settlement of disputes and at the same time strengthening tripartism.

The 76 companies will have a bonus of two years exemption from being inspected by DOLE compliance officers.

The 3,000-hectare Phividec Industrial Estate straddling the towns of Tagoloan and Villanueva is currently home to 76 companies after it was declared an economic zone in 1974. Of the 76, 42 are service providers while 34 are in manufacturing.

DOLE 10 information officer Mildred Dablio said that the declaration of Phividec Industrial Estate as labor laws compliant will be the template for excellence in subsequent inspections to be made by DOLE compliance officers to the rest of the 3,380 compannies in the region which are employing a total of 2.056 million workers.

Two weeks ago, the KCC Mall in General Santos was the first private company in the country that was declared as fully labor law compliant.

Compete...

from page A4 would highlight the month long observance of the Fire Prevention Month in March.

She said that the competition would cover Combat Challenge, Fire Extinguishing and the Bucket Relay, and other techniques employed during actual firefighting prior to the arrival of the BFP fire trucks.

Aside from the demonstration of skills, the participants will also have an opportunity to learn more about the role of Barangay Brigade Volunteers in fire prevention and public awareness, Teleron said.

She said that the fire prevention techniques are part of the BFP year round program on fire fighting and advocacy among families and children as well.

Teleron said also cited the important role of the volunteer brigades through the “Barangay Ugnayan” Program of the BFP public awareness program in fire prevention.

According to Teleron, three more villages joined this year’s Fire Olympic making a total of 15 participants over that of last year’s only 13 villages.

She said that each village would be required to have two women as part of the team in

line with the observance of the Womens Month in March.

Apart from skills demonstrations on fire prevention techniques, the participants would also compete in the poster, drawing, and writing contest, Teleron said.

She said that the village of Balulang is this year’s defending champion with Barangays 7,17,18,23,26,Balulang,Carme n,Lumbia,Bayabas,Bulua,Tabl onBalubal,Macasandig,Bugoa nd Kauswagan, all urban and outskirt villages here. CD/EM

Operations...

from page A4 operations (SOMO) because of the growing humanitarian crisis in the province.

The number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Maguindanao has breached the one hundred thousand mark on Monday, the 3rd week of the military offensive against the BIFF. As of 5 pm Monday, a total of 123,537 individuals or 24,714 families have been displaced by the AFP operations.

The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) said in a report posted on its website that the regional government is spending at least P2 million a day for food packs for the IDPs as of Friday.

It also launched last week the Tabang Sibilyan, a donation drive to help those displaced by the conflict.

Rochelle “Bibing” Mordeno, executive director of the Cagayan de Oro City-based BMFI, said during the group’s regular meeting (MMM) that Balay Aleosan, based in Aleosan, North Cotabato can be one of the hubs of humanitarian relief operations or as drop-off point of relief goods. The BMFI, at present, is sourcing funds and goods from its partners to help the IDPs in Maguindanao.

Balay Aleosan, like the rest of BMFI’s unit, has an ongoing peace campaign in North Cotabato and neighboring barangays in Maguindanao.

BMFI is also thinking of ways to immediately mobilized relief goods and volunteers for the IDPs. Mordeno said that Balay Aleosan is open to host volunteers who are doing humanitarian work to help the IDPs in Maguindanao.

The humanitarian crisis in Maguindanao was also one of the topics discussed by the Tulay Kalinaw Mindanaw (Tulay KAMI) during its meeting at the Bishop’s House last Saturday.

Archbishop Antonio J. Ledesma, S.J., D.D., lead convenor of Tulay KAMI — a multi-sectoral peace conversation among civil society organizations (CSOs) and agencies working and advocating towards peacebuilding and conflict resolutions in Northern Mindanao, which Ledesma, BMFI and the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro (ACDO) convened — urged the group to find meaningful

LIFESTYLE . PEOPLE . PLACES . EVENTS Your Mindanao-wide Community Newspaper

ways to help the IDPs in Maguindanao.

Ledesma said that it is in a situation like this that peacebuilders and peace-loving people must exert all efforts to build peace since everyone is looking for peace.

Meantime, the AOP network, composed of at least 20 groups, urged the AFP to immediately declare a ceasefire in Maguindanao and disclose the progress of the operations.

“We categorically state that a ‘humanitarian crisis’ is already staring us in the face as an effect of the prolonged military action against lawless elements,” the groups said.

The AFP launched an “allout offensive” against the BIFF in 4 towns of Maguindanao – Salibo, Pagatin, Mamasapano, and Shariff Aguak. Later, the conflict spilled over to the municipalities of Guindulungan, Talayan, and Datu Piang.

But AFP chief of staff Major General Gregorio Catapang Jr. said the military will not stop its offensive against the BIFF, especially since the President, in his capacity as commander-inchief, has approved the second Republic of the Philippines DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS MARITIME INDUSTRY AUTHORITY MARINA R.O.
