Maguindanao to declare state of calamity as offensive intensifies against BIFF By Ferdinandh B. Cabrera of MindaNews

COTABATO City––A provincial board member is proposing the declaration of a state of calamity in the entire province of Maguindanao as more residents are fleeing in at least nine towns due to armed conflict. The latest wave of evacuations occurred immediately after Armed Forces Chief of Staff Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang launched an “all-out offensive” against the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) on February 25. Maguindanao board

member Bobby Katambak said the Sangguniang Panglalawigan will hold an emergency session Tuesday to pass a resolution declaring the entire province of Maguindanao under a state of calamity. Maguindanao has 36 provinces. “ This will give the provincial government an authority to use its calamity fund to provide relief assistance to internally displaced persons,” Katambak, a lawyer, told reporters. “We call on the See declare, page A11

Solons want probe on usage of Expanded Senior Citizens Act By Rowena B. Bundang

TWO lawmakers from Mindanao are seeking an inquiry into the implementation of the “Expanded Senior Citizens’ Act” amid reports that some business establishments refused to extend the full 20 percent discount to senior citizens. Reps. Rufus B. Rodriguez (second district, Cagayan de

Oro City) and his younger brother Maximo B. Rodriguez, Jr. (Party-list, Abamin) sought the inquiry through House Resolution 1892 in light of reports that some restaurants are not extending the full 20 percent discount to senior citizens and instead give a flat rate discount for deliveries and takeouts, while others refuse to give the discount if the

senior citizen is a privilege card holder. On top of these unfair practices is the strict policy of establishments of not granting the 20 percent discount if the customer cannot produce his or her senior citizen’s identification cards although they have other IDs or documents stating their date of birth See probe, page A11

Is poverty in PH really decreasing? THE Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), in its official estimated poverty figures for the first half of 2013, reported that 24.9 percent of Filipinos were poor in the first semester of 2013 based on the 2013 Annual Poverty Indicator Survey (APIS). Using these official poverty estimates, government officials suggested that the welfare conditions in the country are improving, and even attributed the reduction in poverty to the impact of the government’s version of the conditional cash transfer program, Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program.

By Carolyn O. Arguillas of MindaNews

DAVAO City––The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao’s Humanitarian Emergency Action and Response Team (ARMMHEART) has recorded at least 54,370 internally displaced persons (IDPS) or “bakwits” in at least nine

towns in Maguindanao province due to armed conflict. The province has 36 towns. According to ARMMHEART’s Situation Report 03-02A, at least 8,149 families or 41,720 residents from five towns were displaced by the military’s “all-out offensive” launched February

25 against the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF). (The report, released Monday night, totaled 30,130 but counting the figures per town, the number of displaced from the military operations against the BIFF is actually 41,720 in five days). Add to this number the

ARMM-HEART’s record of displaced residents from Pagalungan as of February 27: 1,900 families and 400 from Datu Montawal town or 12,650 residents (at an estimated 5.5 persons per family) from the recent fighting between the BIFF and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the total number of displaced

persons in Maguindanao is 54,270. ARMM-HEART records show that as of March 2, a total of 41,720 persons were displaced from the towns of Mamasapano (13,185), Datu Salibo (10,595 persons), Shariff Saydona (9,205), Shariff Aguak (6,365), Datu Unsay (875). The two host towns —

Rajah Buayan and Datu Hoffer – are hosting 1,250 persons while Datu Hoffer town is hosting 245 from neighboring areas. ARMM-HEART’s report as of February 27 said at least 1,900 bakwit families remained in Pagalungan and 400 in Montawal town in the aftermath of the See homes, page A11

Evacuees in Maguindanao bewail hardships caused by displacement SHARIFF Saydona, Maguindanao––Crossing rivers at nighttime with children and carabaos either on foot or aboard motorboats. This was just one of the hardships that civilians displaced by intensified offensives against the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) had to endure as they tried to avoid being hit by mortars on Saturday night as government forces closed in on suspected rebel positions. The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) humanitarian agencies said some 28,500 individuals have fled to safer grounds since Friday when the military launched offensives against

the BIFF in Mamasapano town. Lenny Anayatin, 20, of this town’s Barangay Inaladan, recalled the miserable experience she had with her daughter and neighbors while fleeing at the middle of the night last Saturday. “We were awakened by loud explosions near our village and our officials told us to move out quickly … we scampered … we ran,” said Anayatin, who gave birth in December. In between sobs, Anayatin said she didn’t know what to do and what to bring when officials, in the middle of the night, told them to evacuate. See evacuees, page A11

No less than the Cagayan de Oro Chamber happily announced the restoration of STEAG‘s 102 MW to the Mindanao Grid as of March 2. Other business establishment s also praise TEAG State Power Inc. (SPI) for its successful completion of the preventive maintenance of its electric power generating unit No. 2 as planned and scheduled. Our congratulations to SPI Power Plant Manager Dr. Carsten Evers who said that they were able to officially synchronized to the Mindanao grid at around 6:08 am, of 2 March 2015. “We have successfully completed the preventive maintenance works for our Unit 2 and 105MW is now made available to the Mindanao grid.” Dr. Evers announced. STEAG’s Unit 2 went offline since February 19, this year. following a planned Preventive Maintenance Schedule (PMS) which explained the occurrence of power outages in many parts of Mindanao. Dr. Evers, however. explained earlier that STEAG has to undergo maintenance works to sustain and optimize it’s longrange operations, Laudably, STEAG carried out successful preventive maintenance works through careful planning, scheduling and efficiently coordinating with key players in the

power industry including the grid operator NGCP. It successfully minimized adverse impacts on Mindanao’s already volatile power supply condition. Meanwhile, the preventive maintenance for SPI’s Unit 1 is currently in full swing and on–track. Barring any complications, unit 1 is expected to be back on line on or before 16 March 2015. The unit went offline for a planned preventive maintenance beginning 21 February 2015. SPI’s power plant at the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate in Misamis Oriental is composed of two identical power generating units, each with a net generating output of 105MW. Since start of its operations in November 2006, SPI has already delivered more than 11.5 billion kWh of electricity representing about a fifth of Mindanao’s total power supply. SPI, which is principally owned by the German company Steag GmbH, is a leader in advance coal-power generation technology and one of the pioneers in operating and maintaining a highly efficient and reliable coal-fired power plant in the country. Carry on STEAG! We salute you!

Federalism should not be viewed as a panacea for our problems in politics and government. Shifting to a federal system can also be a ploy of entrenched traditional politicians (trapos) to expand and prolong their de facto “franchise” on politics indefinitely. Under present circumstances, any change is not likely to reform the system for the better. Traditional politicians (trapos) and their dynasties are in power in 90% of our localities, not to mention the national government. We are a trapodominated society. To let the trapos tamper with the system is a sure way to strengthen their stranglehold on it. It will make them and their dynasties virtually impossible to

NGCP showcases specialized skills at 1st MTD,substation competition By PAT SAMONTE Regional Editor Caraga

ower grid operator National Grid Corporation of the Philippines’ (NGCP) technical personnel displayed their highly specialized technical expertise during the first Maintenance and Testing Division (MTD) and Substation Personnel Skills competition at NGCP’s Mexico Substation in Pampanga from January 28 to 30, 2015. In an email report to Mindanao Daily News-Butuan, NGCP Regional Corporate Communications and Public Affairs Officer Milfrance Capulong said the competition, a first of its kind for NGCP, provided

a venue for representatives of North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao MTDs and substations to share best practices while engaging in friendly competition. She said the event also allowed non-technical personnel to better appreciate the rigors of day-to-day operations in high-voltage substations. Capulong said NGCP President and CEO Henry Sy, Jr. emphasized in a statement that “More than showcasing the competence and expertise of NGCP personnel, the competition is also an opportunity to honor NGCP’s frontliners. Our substation and MTD personnel are some of our unsung heroes. Their commitment to their work ensures the security and

reliability of NGCP’s facilities and assures our grid customers and also the general public of the quality of power transmission services.” Capulong said that in time for the opening of the three-day competition, NGCP inaugurated its Power Training Center in Mexico, Pampanga. The new training center boasts of a mini-substation equipped with 230kV and 69-kV switchyard and basic components and other substation equipment, a control room, a lecture room, and a district command center for disaster monitoring. The facility fully supports the enhancement of the technical skills of newly-hired, regular substation and MTD engineers and technicians.

3 ARMM governors, leaders throw support behind Aquino presidency

AMBOANGA CITY – Three influential governors and other leaders in the Muslim autonomous region have publicly came out to support the embattled Filipino leader Benigno Aquino. Many groups are demanding Aquino’s resignation over his failure to prevent the brutal killings of nearly four dozen police commandos by Moro Islamic Liberation Front members in southern Philippines during an antiterror operation on January 25 deep inside rebel territory. The elite Special Action Force commandos killed Malaysian bomber Marwan in Tukanalipao village in Maguindanao’s Mamasapano town, but they were ambushed by MILF forces and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters on their way out of the remote village. Aquino called the daylong clashes between commandos and rebels as a “misencounter” between friendly forces. The MILF signed a peace accord last year, but the peace process is yet to be completed with passage of Bangsamoro Basic Law now pending in Congress following the carnage. Aside from the multisectoral groups demanding

Aquino to step down, lawmakers also wanted him to resign – accusing the president of covering up the deadly clash despite being told by the SAF about the clandestine operation. There were also rumors of a coup d’état and widespread demoralization among members of the police and military. Sulu Vice Governor Tan, who was among those who openly declared support to Aquino, said he and Governor Totoh Tan and other provincial officials and mayors in the province are supporting the president. Tan – who represented the Sulu governor – along with former Tawi-Tawi Governor Sadikul – who represented Governor Nurbert Sahaliand Basilan Governor Jum Akbar, including Tawi-Tawi Rep. Ruby Tan, pledged their all-out support during a public forum. The forum, held in Zamboanga City – was also attended by leaders of various groups from the three

provinces, and student and youth leaders in Zamboanga and Sulu. “We want to reaffirm our unconditional support to the President,” said Tan, who organized the forum attended by over a hundred people. “We are gathered here to express our full and continuing support to the president. Our support to him is unconditional because we see that he’s very supportive to us and to the peace process,” he said. Tan emphasized Aquino’s sincere leadership and his aspiration for peace and prog-

ress in Mindanao and at the same time strongly criticized those who are calling for the president’s resignation or ouster. He said Aquino has never spoken about war, but peace for the country, especially in the Muslim autonomous region and other parts of Mindanao where the president poured billions and billions of pesos in development projects in support to peace and development efforts. “There are certain people who believe in going to war to be able achieve peace. But we

are now talking peace because they went to war. There are so many groups, the BIFF, the MNLF, the MILF – they all went to war and now they are talking about peace, but in the case of President Aquino, he has not been talking about war, he’s never talked about war (but peace),” Tan said. He said although the Mamasapano clash was a tragic incident, Aquino had not resort to violence. “There are calls for the president to resign, why are there calls for the president to resign? The 2016 elections are fast approaching and everybody is positioning and others are posturing to become candidates both in the local and in national elections, but do you think taking a fall, any

destabilization or instability at this time (is helpful to the country?) Dapat tumulong tayo sa (gobyerno at bansa),” Tan said. “We call, first and foremost, they must not only listen (to the people in Manila), we also have the right to be heard, Philippines is not only Manila . The Sulu , Basilan and Tawi – Tawi and Zamboanga are also Philippines and we are among those who voted President Noynoy. We demand, Mr. President do not step down,” he said. Akbar and the Sahalis also echoed Tan’s statement, saying, they all support Aquino. “We are peaceful people and we are supporting the presidency. If anybody would cry for war or something else, kami siguro magkibit balikat lang. Yun tao mismo namin, kami will not support instability, we are peace-loving. Maliit man kaming probinsya, we may have been progressing in all aspect, but we always go hand-in-hand with our brothers and sisters in Basilan and Sulu. But in so many huge issues that would define us as people, as Muslims in the Sulu sultanate area, we always concur with the sentiments of the people of Sulu and Basilan,” the Tawi-Tawi lawmaker said. Tan’s group was the first in Mindanao to come out in the open and express their full support to Aquino. They are also expected to issue their own provincial manifesto in support to Aquino.

from page A4 Mindanaons must be wary about indulging the desires of over-ambitious leaders posing as our champions and advocates. They may be out to satisfy their bloated egos only, by acquiring larger territories and expanded political domains to rule and dominate. The acquisition of power and privilege is but a political game for such leaders; hardly anything to do with public service or nation-building. Democracy and the public service are not served by the ambitions of such people, nor are the citizenry’s welfare and morale. ***** It cannot be helped, however, that there are constituencies that actually crave the leadership of imperious or bullying leaders. It is a false sense of security, more like the secure feeling of a weakling who takes shelter under a strongman’s umbrella and thrives on his patronage. On the other hand, there are leaders who think they have so grown in stature and importance that the small scale of power and privilege they enjoy in their towns, cities, or provinces no longer fit them, and thus aspire to larger jurisdictions that are, in effect, empires disguised as “federal states.” They should be eschewed, ostracized even, for they will not dignify People Power or sovereignty in a democratic society. Leaders known to be autocratic and presumptuous in behavior—as if superior in outlook, breeding, or ability—should be eschewed and put in their proper place: in the servants’ quarter of the House of Democracy where sovereign citizens are the masters. Although we cannot begrudge their ambition, but we must subject it to scrutiny and apply the proper standards of public service in vetting them. ***** Ambition, Cassius said of Julius Caesar’s dream of empire, must be made of sterner stuff. Let us be stern and exacting in humoring the ambitions of our leaders. Let them not presume on public approval for what they desire. As for federalism, let us insist that they first lay the foundation for it—by establishing a regime of true local autonomy in their jurisdictions. They must make of every community or barangay a bastion of People Power by activating its mechanisms for involving the people in its direct democracy with its unique form of parliamentary governance. This regime for local autonomy is already provided for by R.A. 7160 (The Local Government Code of 1991). But its operation has been flawed by general ignorance and the outdated attitudes and practices of the dominant trapos. Most if not all trapos seem unaware of the changes wrought by the Code, or simply ignore them, causing our political system to be dysfunctional. ***** Sometimes the dysfunctions spring from the failure of the Department of the Interior and Local Governments (DILG)—and other institutions and agencies—to explain the Code’s provisions and their larger implications. As Reuben Canoy, longtime commentator and respected pundit of Cagayan

de Oro, keeps saying: “Ang lungsod nga nasayud maoy makahatag kusog sa atong demokrasya; ang lungsod nga mapasagaron maoy makapukan sa atong kagawasan.” An informed citizenry makes democracy strong; a neglectful one undermines our liberty and freedom. It doesn’t seem to strike anyone—in government or in the private sector—that we do have an ill-informed citizenry; that no one and no agency bothers to orientate constituents about their role and function in government. There are seminars and workshops galore for government officials, as if they alone are responsible for governance at any level. But none are conducted for the people or the constituency—who alone can impose the standards of good governance and hold officials to task for wrongdoing.

from page A4 is not easy to do I know but there is now a strategic opportunity to again try and unify the deeply divided Bangsamoro factions. The MILF’s Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) can be consolidated with MNLF’s 1996 Final Peace Agreement and the Indigenous People’s Rights Act (IPRA LAW). I can tell from my experience that this is difficult to do, given what had happened before. The feudal, ethnic and historical divides are there but I trust these can be breached in time. The bestcase scenario is: a roadmap for all Bangsamoro. This was the original roadmap. We can return to that route. ALTERNATIVE -- Hence, instead of totally dismantling the ARMM and repealing its enabling law, Republic Act 9054, the better way forward, considering realities, is for the new BBL to build on the gains and foundations of the original and amended ARMM law. We should cast out what did not work with ARMM. But let’s not totally dismantle it. Let’s not pretend the ARMM did not exist. Let’s not throw away what had been built over the years with the ARMM. For all its perceived and real faults, let’s preserve and build on its gains. Let’s not reinvent. Instead let’s consolidate. The bottom line in this alternative plan is to have one “Bangsamoro road map” for all. In short, the BBL can metamorphosize into an enhanced revised or amended ARMM LAW. DONORS -- One final word. Our international partners must not sulk and close shop in the face of these challenges. In fact, they are most needed now more than ever. Improving the lives of the deprived and the miserable should not wait for peace agreements to be signed first, although no doubt they provide an enabling environment for development work in conflict affected areas and

the poor communities. SECRET FORMULA -- I will not get tired repeating again and again the counsel of former President Ramos, whenever the going went rough in our negotiations with the CPP/NPA/NDF years ago when I served in the government panel. According to him, a peace negotiator must have three secret qualities: 1. Patience; 2. More patience; and 3. More, more patience. This can apply to all of us now as we still recover our true bearings for peace. DREAMING -- My dream is to exorcise ourselves of Mamasapano, convert this national calamity into an opportunity and, by seizing the moment, we all move on. Perhaps, Mamasapano was really meant to be. Yes, easier said than done. But I can still dream, can’t I?

Values Education: An important component of Philosophy of Education By Rupesa P. Llegunas QNHS Teacher Quezon National High School Quezon, Bukidnon

VALUES education in the Philippines was first introduced by Dr. Lourdes Quisumbing, secretary of the then Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS).

Through a Department Order, the schools were given guidance in the implementation of values education program in their respective curriculum. Values education Values education is the process by which values are formed in the learner under the guidance of the teacher and as he interacts with his environment. Va l u e s e d u c a t i o n involves not just any kind of teacher-learning process; it has a direct and immediate relevance

to the personal life of the learner. The process is not just cognitive, but involves all the faculties of the learner. The teacher must appeal not only to the mind but the heart as well. This learning is by identification; hence, the teachers’ personal values play an important role in values learning. Va l u e s e d u c a t i o n i s s u p p o r t e d by t h e preamble of the Philippine Constitution of 1987 in its objective to build a just humane society which calls for a shared culture and commonly held values such as truth, justice, freedom, love, equality,

and peace. In the pursuit of this thrust, the education department embarked on values education program after the February 1986 Edsa Revolution. Guidelines in teaching values education: • It must be oriented toward the total person of the learner; mind, heart, and entire being. • It must take into consideration the unique role of the family in one personal development and integration into society and the nation. In the school context, more important than lesson plans and any list

of values are teachers themselves who have the proper sense of values, awareness of their inner worth, and utmost respect for the person of the other. The human person is the object of education. As a human person learning and being taught, he is at the center of the curriculum and the entire program. According to the values education program, the task of education is to help the Filipino develop his human potential, contribute to the growth of the Philippine culture and by controlling the environment and making

use of human and nonhuman resources, build appropriate structures, and institution for the attainment of a just and humane society. The philosophy further defines the human person as multi-dimensional. He is self and a member of the community, in an integral manner. As self, physical with material needs; intellectual with the need to know in order to transform himself; moral with free will which searches for the good and whose motive is love; and spiritual whose personhood is oriented to god.

DAR conducts Mindanao-wide AVA Regional Consolidation Workshop Cagayan de Oro -- The Department of Agrarian Reform conducted the Agribusiness Venture Arrangement (AVA) Regional Consolidation Workshop in this city on Feb. 26-27 with selected personnel from Regions IX, X, XI, XII, and Caraga. The participants included the AVA regional and provincial point persons together with their Program Beneficiaries Development (PBD) Lawyering Team, and officials from the DAR Central Office. The workshop aimed to update the status of the existing agribusiness venture arrangements (AVA) as well as to flesh out the concerns of the agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARB) organizations/cooperatives engaged in these arrangements. The 2-day workshop

consolidated the inventory of the AVAs in Mindanao and discussed the pertinent issues and concerns encountered during the implementation. The participants also tackled some talking points such as growership vs. leaseback, length

of contract, information asymmetry and pricing, juridical entity, credit, infrastructure, technical and support services, remedies, and liabilities. DAR Administrative Order No. 09 series of 2006 contains the revised rules

and regulations governing AVAs in CARP-covered areas. It states that to augment the support services extended by the government to the ARBs, the formation of AVAs is encouraged as a means by which investment of financial and other

resources by the private sector can be channeled to agrarian reform areas through productive and collaborative ventures between the private sector and the ARBs. As a general rule, AVA shall provide for the participation of ARBs in farm management operation and shall include a human resource development plan/ program aimed at providing management capability building and transfer of

technology to ARBs and hastening their transformation into rural entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, pending in Congress is HB 5161 ( An Act Regulating the Establishment of and Implementation of Agribusiness Venture Arrangements) which is expected to provide greater security and benefits to the ARBs.

Women on fire (aka the beautiful genes from Gingoog)

MARCH is Fire Prevention Month. It is also Women’s Month. It is in this regard that we dedicate this column spread the whole month out to women on fire i.e. local ladies who have stood out and brought pride to their homeland even when they are traveling elsewhere. In this particular edition, I will reveal to the readers how awesome these two women from Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental. Situated at the eastern part of Misamis Oriental, Gingoog is a lovely coastal sleepy city which has a population of around 117,000 people. Based from a Manobo word, Gingoog has a land area of 56,844

hectares comprising 79 barangays. Its current mayor is Stella Marie Guingona, herself a woman of beauty. No wonder Mayor Guingona’s constituents are equally beautiful. One of them has moved to Arizona a few years ago. But she has always looked back to her homeland and has created businesses in Gingoog, CDO and elsewhere in the country. One of her businesses is Haze, the hip restobar at Grand Central. If you want to know how Johna Apal-Elgie conducts a remote business, then experience the quality of the products and customer service offered at Haze. That’s how Johna is respected by

her workers even though she’s abroad. Now in her 30s, Johna is an awardee of the prestigious 2014 Young Filipino-American Entrepreneur of Arizona. Anothr woman to beat from Gingoog is Charinna Barro. Now based in CDO as an Accountancy student at Liceo de Cagayan University, Charinna was first introduced to me during the Miss Silka Cagayan de Oro 2014 screening at Gaisano. And she was indeed lovely. Her complexion was blooming. True enough, she easily breezed through the title of Miss Silka Cagayan de Oro that year. Seemingly shy, this lass hid from the spotlight for a while. But

not that long. In February 2015, she was seen as the darling of the crowd during the Miss Liceo Diamond Jubilee pageant. Even though she unfortunately was not among the proclaimed winners, Liceans still adored her and deep inside their hearts, she was their collective bet. It was one of the judges that fateful night, mayoral son Sean Moreno, who noticed her beauty. Charinna was recommended to be one among the five who will represent CDO to the Miss Philippines – Earth Misamis Oriental 2015 search which will be held later this month in her homeplace of Gingoog. It will be a homecoming for her since

Charinna was already Miss Gingoog City 2014 second runner-up prior to her winning the Miss Silka Cagayan de Oro crown. But beyond that, her series of accolades is overwhelming. She was Miss Jose Rizal University first runner-up in 2012, a finalist in Miss NCAA 2012, a Miss Ambassador of Goodwill NCR 2013 finalist and a Miss Olive-C 2014 Nationals finalist. She’s also an honors student both in elementary and high school and has been an academic scholar at Jose Rizal University.

Fresh Gospel of the day: (March4, 2015-Wednesday)Matthew 20:17-28”As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up.” Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him. And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left.” But Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They said to Him, “We are able.” He said to them, “My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father:

But salvation is not achieved by asking for it but you need to work for it.

The installation of the 56 sensors in the Davao Region started in 2014. The Hydromet project is a component of Project NOAH or Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards which aims to use state-of-the-art weather tracking equipment to provide a better picture of the country’s surface waters. The project was able to install 9 sensors in Davao City, 19 in Compostela Valley Province, 12 in Davao del Norte, 4 in Davao del Sur and Davao Oriental got 12 sensors. Domingo said that provinces like Compostela Valley province, Davao del Norte and Davao Oriental received the most number of sensors as they are the most affected by calamities like typhoons. The DOST is also planning to install different water level sensor with sirens. Domingo said they are still waiting for the approval from PAG-ASA. (davaotoday.com)

attention of (Maguindanao Vice Governor and SP presiding officer) Datu Lester Sinsuat for the conduct of emergency session to act on the resolution because the affected towns swelled to 11,” Katambak said. The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao’s Humanitarian Emergency Action and Response Team (ARMM-HEART) in its Situation 03-2A report released Monday night said a total of 41,720 residents were displaced in five towns with two towns serving as “host towns.” No need for declaration Under RA 10121 or the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010, a declaration fo a state of calamity is no longer necessary to access and utilize the DRRM Fund or what used to be referred to as

“calamity fund.” Under the law, the local DRRM Fund “shall be sourced from not less than 5% of the estimated revenue from regular sources.” Thirty per cent of the DRRM fund shall be set aside as a “quick response fund” for relief and recovery programs. On Monday, ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman met with all relief agencies of the region, including security officials, local government executives and representatives from international non-government organizations. The meeting aimed to centralize all relief operations and avoid duplication of relief distribution and missing other beneficiaries. Hataman is concerned over health and sanitation issues in evacuation sites. Hataman will lead Tuesday the ARMM relief and medical missions to various towns in Maguindanao. T h e Hu m a n i t a r i a n Emergency Action and Response Team (HEART), the region’s relief arm, reported that as of evening of March 2, 8,139 families or 41,720 individuals had been displaced by “all-out offensive” against the BIFF. The evacuees of Pagalungan (1,900 families) and Datu Montawal towns (400) – or about 12,650 persons who fled their homes during the skirmishes between the BIFF and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) were supposed to return home but opted to stay on following Catapang’s “allout offensive.”

according to the lawmakers. The older Rodriguez said there are many other reported incidents where establishments try to come up with so-called policies just to evade the mandated benefits for senior citizens provided under republic Act 9994, otherwise known as the “Expanded Senior Citizens’ Act.” “The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has already come up with an opinion that the 20 percent discount to senior citizens is over and above the discount offered by an establishment for its membership or privilege cards,” Rodriguez, a lawyer, said. The DTI explained that while double discounts are not allowed when an establishment offers a promotion, the selling of privilege card for valuable consideration is or is not for the intention of promoting the establishment, according to him. “We call on the House Committee on Trade and Industry to look into this matter to determine if new legislation is needed to ensure the effective and consistent implementation of RA 9994,” said Rodriguez. Rodriguez, chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Bangsamoro Basic Law, said among the objectives of

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

RA 9994 is to recognize the rights of senior citizens to take their proper place in society and make it a concern of the family, community, and the government, and to give full support for the improvement of the total well-being of the elderly and their full participation in society, considering that they are integral part of society. Signed into law on Feb. 15, 2010 by former President Gloria Arroyo, RA 9994 lists down the privileges that senior citizens shall be entitled to which include 20 percent discount in restaurants, hotels, medical and dental services, among others. Section 4 of RA 9994, pertaining to privileges for the senior citizens, provides that the elderly shall be entitled to the following, among others: the grant of 20 percent discount and exemption from the valueadded tax (VAT), if applicable, on the sale of certain goods and services from all establishments, for the exclusive use and enjoyment or availment of the senior citizen; exemption from the payment of individual income taxes of senior citizens who are considered to be minimum wage earners; the grant of a minimum of five percent discount relative to the monthly utilization of water and electricity supplied by the public utilities: exemption from training fees for socioeconomic programs; and free medical and dental services, diagnostic and laboratory fees such as, but not limited to, x-rays, computerized tomography scans and blood tests, in all government facilities.

Poverty... from page A1

Even the World Bank, in its August 2014 issue of the Philippine Economic Update, similarly described improving poverty conditions. However, in a policy note released by state think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), its authors argued that while these descriptions of poverty are based on official statistics released by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the April 2014 press release of the PSA did not actually report a “drop” in poverty incidence from 2012 to 2013. “PSA mentioned that 24.9 percent of Filipinos were poor in the first semester of 2013, and that in the same period in 2012, poverty incidence among Filipinos based on the 2012 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), was recorded at 27.9 percent,” explained PIDS Senior Research Fellow Jose Ramon Albert and co-author Arturo Martinez in “Is poverty really decreasing? And if not, Why not?” But isn’t 24.9 percent a decline from 27.9 percent? “Seemingly, yes, but in this case, no. To compare statistics, their methodologies should be equivalent,” Albert explained.

The PSA’s technical notes stated that the source of poverty data on the first half of 2013 is the 2013 Annual Poverty Indicator Survey (APIS), a nationwide sample survey designed to provide information on the different indicators related to poverty and uses a different questionnaire from that of the 2012 FIES. Albert and Martinez explained that although the 2013 APIS used more questions on income (than it used to) with its 19-page questionnaire, the 2012 FIES income module used 24 pages of questions. And even if APIS 2013 made use of the 24-page income module of FIES 2012, this would still not make poverty data from the APIS and FIES comparable since FIES also asks households detailed information on their expenditures before income questions are asked using a total of 78 pages of questions. The FIES interview could take an average interview time of five hours. The APIS 2013 questionnaire had six pages of questions on expenditure, aside from 19 pages of income questions, and several pages of other questions, which, overall, took three hours to accomplish. “We therefore do not have clear evidence to suggest a reduction in poverty from the first half of 2012 to the first semester of 2013. To get definitive recent trends on income poverty, we have to await the results of the 2014 APIS,” Albert and Martinez contended. Historically, however, poverty rates have been unchanged. Based on the latest available figures from FIES, the researchers observed three clear trends on poverty conditions. First, poverty rates have been unchanged in the first semester periods from 2006 to 2012, since minute differences in estimates are within margins of error. Secondly, poverty rates also have been unchanged in the full year periods from 2006 to 2012, and thirdly, estimates of the proportion of Filipinos who are poor are lower in the full year, compared with first-semester figures, on account of extra income received from thirteenth month wages and bonuses, and other income received in the second semester. “Since poverty rates are unchanged, the number of poor Filipinos is increasing on account of population growth,” the researchers noted. Furthermore, they pointed out a barely changing income inequality, a pattern that could mean that the new opportunities created by economic growth do not allow the income of the poor to catch up with the rest. They also pointed out that although poor Filipinos were more likely to experience higher income growth, some nonpoor also have been vulnerable to slide into poverty. Thus, they noted that the government should

not only be concerned with the poor, but also with the nonpoor who are plagued by economic risks, in designing the country’s social protection infrastructure. “Policymakers should need to develop policies for risk management such as adequate social insurance and social protection coverage. It is also important to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of these programs because if left unaddressed, income shocks may hamper the thrust for inclusive growth and for sustained prospects of the country’s development,” they concluded.

BIFF-MILF clashes. The evacuees were about to return to their villages following clearing operations by the military and the MILF last Monday but they opted against returning following the announcement of an “all-out offensive” by Armed Forces Chief of Staff Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang on Wednesday. As of March 2, the bakwits of Pagalungan and Montawal had not returned home. Catapang on February 25 ordered the Western Mindanao Command to coordinate with the Philippine National Police in a joint law enforcement operation against the BIFF to protect the communities. “I am saddened by the news that at least 20,000 people had been displaced by the violent attacks perpetrated by the BIFF in the hinterland villages. We will do our best to protect the people and allow them to go back to their homes,” GMA News quoted him as saying. The “all-out offensive” triggered mass evacuations of double that number in five days in the five towns and two host towns where the military launched its operations. The ARMM-HEART also reported that classes in five elementary schools and one high school in Datu Unsay had been called off due to the skirmishes while 31 elementary and high schools in Datu Salibo, Datu Saudi Ampatuan, Shariff Aguak and Shariff Saydona, neighboring municipalities potentially affected if the skirmishes expand — are on “red alert” status — affecting a total of 17,790 students. An earlier report by the Protection Cluster in the Philippines on the MILFBIFF clashes dated February 25 reported 6,241 families or 34,307 persons inside and outside evacuation centers who were displaced in the towns of Pagalungan, Montawal and Sultan Sa Barongis in Maguindanao and Pikit in North Cotabato. The rep or t showe d 11,682 IDPs in Pagalungan; 2,340 in Datu Montawal and 3,285 in Sultan Sa Barongis, and 17,000 in Pikit, North Cotabato.

“We walked for three kilometers, crossed rivers in the middle of the night,” she said in between sobs, adding that a neighbor offered her a space in a motorboat “because I was carrying a baby.” The boat was already loaded with children of other fleeing families. Luckily for Anayatin, she found a space in the motorboat. In contrast, Bai Zahara Alim had to cross rivers with her three children and the family owned water buffalo. Bai Zahara said she has become tired of all living a life on the run. “All I am asking is a stop to all these atrocities in our communities,” Ali said in Filipino. “Since I was a child, my family had been in this situation. We flee, return home and rebuild our lives then we evacuate again, it is never ending,” she said crying. Bai Zahara lamented this is also one of the reason why she was deprived of education, aside from being poor. The war, she said, has worsened their poverty because they could not attend anymore to their farm due to being displaced from time to time. Delmo Sali, another evacuee from Shariff Saydona, said he feared for his family and children who have to endure hasty evacuation. “What the people are afraid of in our village is that we might be hit by bazooka (mortars). Those loud explosions annoy us,” he said. A report from Ferdinandh Cabrera of MindaNews

DSWD expands age coverage for social pension CAGAYAN de Oro City––Indigent senior citizens aged 65 years old and above are now qualified to receive stipend from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). DSWD regional director Atty. Araceli F. Solamillo recently announced that because of this effect, more than 39,000 indigent senior citizens in the region will now be receiving P500.00 from the DSWD on a monthly basis for their needs such as medicines. The DSWD however emphasizes that the Social Pension Program is intended for those senior citizens who are considered indigent based on the National Household Targeting System of the DSWD, and/or those who are not beneficiaries of any social insurances such as Social Security System (SSS) and Government Service Insurance System (GSIS). Having heard the concerns of the public that the stipend is very minimal, Solamillo explains that the budget appropriated for the said program is very minimal and that the DSWD is continuously lobbying with the congress to increase the agency’s budget so that stipends for its beneficiaries will also increase, and that more indigent senior citizens will also be covered. --Charmaine Suzette Leonore P.

T was one fine Sunday in January when the ten-yearold Backtrack decided to veer themselves for a moment

from their dancing activities and switched to one noble cause – a blood donation drive. Nino Mana-ay, founding member of the group, said the activity last January was actually a repeat of an earlier blood drive last September 2014 at the local Philippine Red Cross office. At the time, they

were able to donate five bags of blood. But to drum up participation from the public, Backtrack decided to hold their second blood donation round at SM City Cagayan de Oro. To lure in the people to donate blood, other dance groups have helped Backtrack in staging a mini-concert throughout the whole afternoon at the mall’s activity center while the blood drive was ongoing at the second level. Some of the groups who participated performing were MX

Version, GBlaze, Cheyenne Faith Rubio, Amboys, Famacos, Xtatic, Urban Myx, Clique Point, HD, Psychedelic and Jeremiah Torayno. There were also inspirational pep talks from Gawad Kalinga national youth coordinator Donna Louise Unsad and Philippine Red Cross local chapter coordinator Dr. Myra Yee who reported that every minute, three patients in the country need blood. Backtrack’s name was unanimously chosen for everyone

thought that the new crew will be a flashback of the numerous times they have performed together in the past. It is a merger between the all-male MX Version and the all-female GBlaze.

Globe: Bayantel rehab will benefit consumers, telco industry

In a recent joint comment submitted to the Court of Appeals, Globe Telecom said that the rehabilitation of Bayan Communications (Bayantel) will augur well for consumers to enjoy wider choices as well as better product offerings, and ultimately bring about a positive impact to the local telco industry. According to the document, both companies reiterated that “the successful rehabilitation of a public utility is a matter of high state concern. For, it would open up the consumer market to more choices, promote greater competition, and foster

better products and services.” Likewise, this will result “in a free market where rapidly-evolving technologies have greatly facilitated communications and access to information, resulting in massive public enlightenment…” Mo r e o v e r, t h e d e b t - t o - e q u i t y conversion transaction between Globe and Bayantel will precisely enable the latter’s continued viability as a telecommunications provider, allowing it to “exit rehabilitation and enhance its current infrastructure and network, build more cell sites and related facilities (as

well as) enrich more people’s lives through the wonders of telecommunication.” Particularly, it will allow Bayantel “to continuously provide better and technologically-advanced services at affordable rates.” As their joint application has run on for more than a year already, both parties stated that the P 5-billion rehabilitation effort is starting to adversely affect “more than a thousand employees whose jobs are in peril and whose families’ future are in dark doubt.” For its part, Globe in the comment

Mikael Daez surfs his way to success with Sun Postpaid’s iBundle Offer For Filipino actor, indemand TV host and endorser Mikael Daez, the Internet is a very important tool because it opens up opportunities for him and allows him to engage with wider audiences and touch their lives in an instant. “Being a public figure means you have the power to influence people. The Internet enhances and magnifies the influence that you have,” Mikael said during the Sun Postpaid Twitter party held recently, where he had the opportunity to reach out to his fans via Twitter. By simply using the hashtag, #SunTwitterParty, fans and friends of Mikael where able to participate in online Q&A session, to get updates on Mikael’s latest endeavors. A public figure himself, Mikael has hundreds of thousands of followers on his social media accounts. He said he uses the Internet to share bits of his personal life, to

inspire people, and to make an impact on their lives. “That’s something I really want to do—to inspire people. Getting into the industry, I told myself, “Not only do I want to do well in my projects, I also want to be able to do something good, to positively influence the people that I meet, and the people who see me.” Mikael believes that the Internet can help young profe ssiona ls who strive for success. That’s why he believes that iBundles offered by Sun Postpaid is perfect for those who know just what they need. It not only allows them to enhance their productivity but it’s also easy on the pocket. “My favorite is the photo bundle. I like to travel a lot, as you can see on my Instagram. Offers like iBundles are great for the Philippines where a lot of people are usually on a budget. Now, more

people can have easier and more affordable access to the Internet, can enjoy it, and make full use of it,” Mikael said. With iBundles, existing Sun Postpaid subscribers get to enjoy their favorite apps bundled together for as low as P199 on top of their monthly service fees, valid for 30 days. They can pick from a selection of data packages depending on their habits and preferences, namely, the Social, Email and Photo bundles. With the social bundle, they can maximize their social media and post all they want on apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Waze, Foursquare, Google Plus, LinkedIn & PAth. With the email bundle, they can have their own mobile office and be able to send and receive emails while on the go as it provides access to Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook & Exchange.com. With the photo bundle, they can post photos of their trav-

els or even as ordinary as their foodie pictures on Instagram, Pinterest, Flickr, Imgur, Regram and Tumblr. With this new addon, Mikael says, young achievers can fully utilize their favorite apps to their advantage, in a package that strikes the perfect balance between work and play, and offers the best value for their money. He added that iBundles is very simple and easy to use. In addition to being budget-friendly and easy to use, the iBundles is also worry-free because it comes with a feature that prevents bill shock. If a subscriber accidentally clicks a website that is outside of the package, they will see a “pay wall” or pop-up window that helps them with subscription or renewal of an iBundle, along with other mobile internet packages available to them. This helps Sun subscribers to enjoy the best value offer within their budget. “It's great that Sun Cellular is giving Filipinos a good choice to connect and go online,” he added. The #SunTwitterParty was powered by Sun Cellular’s iBundles—the latest mobile Internet offer from Sun Postpaid. Sun Postpaid subscribers can now customize their monthly Sun Plans with Social, Email or Photo iBundles, to suit their mobile internet needs.

It is this same dynamism that has given (it) a clear-eyed view in the immense potential of a revitalized Bayantel, (that) in the not-too distant future, duplicate for its own customers the same transforming and enriching experience that (customers of Globe Telecom) have come to know.” Globe and Bayantel filed the said petition in October 2013, which so far has been undecided for the last 15 months.
