Duterte won’t close window to talk peace with NPA rebels

By EARL O. CONDEZA of DavaoToday.com

Paquibato District, Davao City––“Kami sa gobyerno, dili mi dapat magsarado tanan, magbilin kag bisan gamay nga abli sa bintana nga makig-istorya ta ining mga komunista. (We at government can’t close our doors. I still leave an open window to talk with the communists.)”

Thus, said Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte during the turn-over ceremony by the New People’s Army (NPA) of five soldiers who were kept under its custody as “Prisoners of War” Wednesday.

Poll watchdog wants poll registration period for barangay elections extended A CATHOLIC Church-backed poll watchdog has called for an extension of the voter registration period in order to ensure eligible Filipinos are registered to vote for the October polls.

PPCRV chairperson Henrietta de Villa said they received reports that still many potential voters failed to register for the synchronized barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections.

“Maybe there is a need to extend it because a lot of people are calling me about it, but I don’t know about the preparedness of the Comelec (Commission on Elections),” she said in an interview.

“A lot of people texted me regarding the long lines because they said the Comelec can only accommodate up to 500 people per day so a lot of people really have yet to register,” added De Villa.

A visit to some of the registration

centers in Metro Manila yesterday found long queues of people still trying to register.

The Comelec, however, said Wednesday that it will stick to today’s 5 p.m. deadline for registration.

The poll watchdog group also called on the Comelec to act on alleged “favoritism” on the registration process.

“Vested interests are coming in with those allied with a certain group being given the number only,” she said.

She added that many people are also lining up early to fill up the allotted slots per day to ‘discourage’ other potential voters from registering.

“They’ll line-up to discourage other registrants and to also see to it that other groups won’t be able to bring in their allies…barangay officials have become very partisan,” she said. (CBCPNews)

Bae Induca and her husband Danny Gubat wait for their turn to register at the Commission on Election office at Magsaysay Park in Davao City on July 31, 2013, the last day for registration for the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections in October. The Matigsalug couple came from Sitio Kapatagan in Marilog district and has been staying at the park since Monday.

Senate to cut ‘pork barrel,’ have it abolished by 2016 THE Senate, especially Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago, thinks that it is about time to cut the ‘pork.’

Santiago, chair of the Senate committee on constitutional amendments, revision of codes, and laws said Wednesday the Senate is ready to cut pork barrel of senators and congressmen in half for 2014.

The pork barrel for 2014 will further be cut in half by 2015 until it is finally abolished by 2016, according to Santiago, who filed a Resolution calling for the phasing out of the pork barrel by 2016.Under Santiago’s proposal, the Priority Development Assistance Fund or PDAF will be phased out as follows: (a) For senators: From P200 million to P100 million in 2014; P50 million in 2015; nil in 2016; and (b) For congressmen: From P70 million to P35 million in 2014; P15 million in 2015; nil in 2016.

At present, the PDAF allocated to each senator is P200 million per year, and P70 million to each congressman per year.

For a full term of six years, a senator is expected

to receive P1.2 billion, while a congressman is expected to receive P210 million for each three-year term.

In practice, some receive more, others less, than their regular pork barrel.

“Of course, the best solution is to discontinue the pork barrel system by reducing what has been proposed by the President in the 2014 budget for PDAF to zero,” Santiago said.

“Senators and congressmen are expected to pass

laws and exercise oversight functions over the Executive Department’s implementation of existing laws,” she further said.

“We are not expected to build roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects,” she added.

Not public works contractors She also explained that many voters would expect their congressman to ‘bring home the bacon’ to the district, in the form of

capital projects which can be done by availing of the pork barrel.

“We are legislators, not public works contractors,” Santiago said. “People look up to us to make serious laws that could change the lives of a great number of people or could change the way society is run or managed.”

Santiago said that by deleting the appropriations for PDAF, the President cannot resurrect it through line item veto.“Reducing the PDAF appropriations to even one peso is dangerous, because then the President may choose to augment the peso appropriations with several billions which is allowed under the Constitution,” she added.

Santiago has high hopes that her proposal for the total abolition of the pork barrel will meet strong opposition in both the Senate and the House.

“This is why the second best solution is to gradually phase out the PDAF. This will give senators and congressmen time to adjust to the new rules,” she said.

Side bar What is pork barrel Pork barrel is the appropriation of government spending for localized projects secured solely or primarily to bring money to a representative’s district. The usage originated in American English.

In election campaigns, the term is used in derogatory fashion to attack opponents. Scholars, however, use it as a technical term regarding legislative control of local appropriations.

The term pork barrel politics usually refers to spending which is intended to benefit constituents of a politician in return for their political support, either in the form of campaign contributions or votes.

In the popular 1863 story “The Children of the Public”, Edward Everett Hale used the term pork barrel as a homely metaphor for any form of public spending to the citizenry.

After the American Civil War, however, the term came to be used in a derogatory sense.

The Oxford English Dictionary dates the modern sense of the term from 1873.

By the 1870s, references to “pork” were common in Congress, and the term was further popularized by a 1919 article by Chester Collins Maxey in the National Municipal Review, which reported on certain legislative acts known to members of Congress as “pork barrel bills.”

He claimed that the phrase originated in a pre-Civil War practice of giving slaves a barrel of salt pork as a reward and requiring them to compete among themselves to get their share of the handout. More generally, a barrel of salt pork was a common larder item in 19th century households, and could be used as a measure of the family’s financial well-being. For example, in his 1845 novel The Chainbearer, James Fenimore Cooper wrote, “I hold a family to be in a desperate way, when the mother can see the bottom of the pork barrel.” source : en .wikipedia .org

UC student wins in national visual arts tilt

A

photograph, showing a sea of devotees gathered in the Basilica del Sto. Nino to worship and to celebrate the festivity of the Holy Child Jesus, won in a visual arts competition.

And the photographer who captured the essence of the festivity and landed in the fourth place is a student of the University of Cebu (UC).

Kirk Patrick Y. Largo, who studies in the UC-Banilad campus, submitted his photograph “The Cebuano Faith” as entry to the 27th DPC-PLDT Visual Arts National Competition.

The 27th Visual Arts Competition was facilitated by the Directories Philippines Corporation (DPC) and the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT).

Dubbed “More Fun in the

Philippines: The Brighter Side of Life,” the national visual arts tilt called for heart-warming photographs showing how Filipinos savor life, no matter what the situation.

"My photograph shows the spirit of the Cebuanos that is very much alive not only in street parties, but also in its devotion to the Holy Child Jesus, our beloved Senior Sto. Niño,” Largo said.

Largo only learned about the national competition through social networking site Facebook, and after he decided to give it a try, he asked his friends and parents to help him choose his photo entry.

“The unanimous suggestion was my photo of a dancing festival queen during the Sinulog Mardi Gras. It undeniably depicts the theme ‘It's

more fun in the Philippines: The brighter side of life,’ but I wanted something unique.”

“I wanted to show a different photograph showing why it’s more fun in the Philippines, so I picked the Cebuano Faith entry,” he added.

Largo said fun in faith is evident in how Cebuanos celebrate the festivity of the Holy Child, adding that when the spirit is happy, the man is happy, too.

“Needless to say, it's more fun journeying together in faith with our beloved Senior Sto. Niño.”

Largo is an enthusiast, but he admitted that when he took the photograph, he got no plan to submit it to any photography content.

“My love for photography started out when we had our first digital camera. I learned photography through watching YouTube videos and from other enthusiasts.”

On winning the contest “I was thinking of a 50-50 chance there, because it was a nationwide competition, but I was happy when I got the message telling me that my entry made it to the top 50.”

Largo also received a message about his entry being a finalist to the grand prize.

He bagged the fourth prize and also the Visayas People's Choice Awards, but for some reasons he missed the awarding ceremony.

He won P10,000 cash, a

On chasing dreams Largo also encouraged his fellow UCnians and students to never stop chasing dreams.

“If you want to become a photographer, a singer, dancer,

or whatever you want, go ahead, achieve it. I remember a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, ‘The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.’ so believe in the beauty of your dreams.”

He also urged his fellow photography enthusiast to be patient because photography can’t be learned overnight. It is a process, and a lot of things can be learned along the way.

He added that photography is not just picture taking, but telling a story. “And always think, wala na sa kamahalon sa imung gamit (it’s not how expensive your camera is), it is about your skills.”

Boracay urged to become smoke-free tourism destination BORACAY ISLAND -- The Det. of Tourism here is supporting the call of several sectors to make this resort island a smoke-free tourism destination.

Tim Ticar, officer-in-charge of DOT-Boracay, said that it will be a welcome development this resort-island would be considered smoke-free.

The municipal government of Malay, Aklan still has to decide

on its implementation.

“Declaring Boracay a smokefree tourism destination will not only support the Clean Air Act but will also attract more tourists because of the island’s healthy environment,” Ticar said.

The local government has already been enforcing penalties for both tourists and residents found smoking at the f ront beach.

Niven Maquirang, jetty port administrator, said he is also finalizing the plan to make both Cagban and Caticlan jetty ports smoke-free areas.

“We agree to the cause of making Boracay a smoke-free tourism destination and my part is to consider declaring my area, the jetty port, as a smoke free gateway for tourists coming to Boracay,” Maquirang said.(PNA)

MANILA -- The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines will impose a new ground time for all domestic air carriers before they can make their next turnaround trip.

CAAP deputy director general John C. Andrews said that from 45 minutes, all domestic airline companies are required to at least have a ground time of 40 minutes to give their respective crew ample time to prepare for the next flight.

Andrews said 40 minutes should be enough since the standard ground time for international flights is 45 minutes.

He said the order should have taken effect tomorrow, August 1, but will have to schedule it Republic of the Philippines Department of Transportation and Communications LAND TRANSPORTATION FRANCHISING AND REGULATORY BOARD Region X, Cagayan de Oro City RICO AMARILLENTO - Vendor HILDA BUGHAO -Vendee

on another date since the CAAP is consulting with airline companies to make the necessary adjustments on their flight schedules.

Andrews said cabin crew will no longer speed up with their work while on ground.

He said the 40-minute ground time will prevent physical and mental fatigue among airline crew, including its pilots, which results to accidents.

B efore, an airline spends about 30 minutes on the ground thereby resulting to shortcuts in the preparation for the next flight.

Earlier this month, the CAAP planned to impose a 45-minute ground time for all domestic airline.

Progressive tax system Considering that our economy is consumption driven, it would have been logical for the government to adopt an income tax system that’ll financially empower the working class which comprises the biggest sector of the earning populace to enhance their purchasing capacity.

Inexplicably, however, this is not the case. In fact, those who are working hard and thus rewarded by their employers with increases in their take home pay end up surrendering to the government as income tax the larger chunk of the increase.

It is as if they were granted salary increases so that their assessed income tax will increase thus giving more to the government

Jesse E.L. Bacon II than to themselves. If this is not inequitable, pray tell what is.

This is so because any upward movement in the salary of employees, their taxable income bracket likewise increases. The higher the bracket, the higher the payable tax percentage becomes. In this case, the income capacity of the salaried employee does not improve

but just plateaus.

If I were the government, I’d rather increase the purchasing capacity of the greater number among the salaried employees by not assessing any income tax from them. For example, if I were the government, I will not levy any income tax from employees receiving the minimum wage but not more than P30,000. Those

receiving more than P30,000 but not over P40,000 monthly, I’ll assess from them say five percent income tax.

For every P10,000 additional income above the P40,000 and thereafter shall be assessed another five percent until the income reaches P100,000 and the income tax percentage shall reach 35 percent. At the moment, those who have declared incomes of P35,000 up to P40,000 per month are already assessed something like 35 percent income tax.

Af ter t he P100,000 bracket, perhaps another five percent for every P150,000 income multiple up to a 45 percent income ceiling. But all incomes above P400,000 should

THINK a minute.

Did you know there’s a thief trying to break into your home every day to steal your most valuable possessions?

But what’s most amazing is you and I open the door to let him in!

You see, what makes this thief so smart is that he knows even better than we do what our most valuable possessions are.

So while you and I are busy protecting our money, house, and car; while we’re guarding our title, status, and position of respect; this thief is stealing from us our much more valuable possessions.

He’s stealing our peace of mind and happiness, as well as our honesty and good character. He’s taking away our marriage and children.

parents who spend time with our children, we go out drinking trying to impress our peers and fellow workers.

You and I let fear in when we don’t stand up for what’s right and true, because we’ll do whatever will make us liked and get us what we want. We’ll lie, cheat, even sacrifice our marriage and children, just to get us what we think will satisfy us.

This smart thief gets us to believe that doing all

these things to be liked or rich will finally make us happy. While all the time he’s stealing from us our most valuable things in life! Our only possessions of any real worth. But you can decide right now to once and for all stop this thief. Today you can close and lock the door to fear—fear of what other people think—by opening the door of your heart to Jesus Christ. Then, He can come in to start leading your life and protecting your real wealth. It’s only when you ask Him to take full charge of your heart and way of living everyday that you can start enjoying the life of success and peace of mind you want. That’s when Jesus will get back for you what the fear of others’ opinions took away.

Just Think a Minute.

to understand how serious their crime is.

It is really horrible and everyone could hardly believe such a thing could be done by human beings.

It is a job for a devil, a heartless monster walking insane on the surface of the planet.

To everyone in the city, I wish the incident will make us all understand that the place has metamorphosed into the size of modern cities in the world where people from all walks of life cross the streets doing their everyday business.

Let us maintain the emblem of friendship with one another as well as with strangers and commuters.

Be very cautious and

suspicious of strange things around you and call the police whenever something is abnormal.

Let us join forces in making this place forever a city of golden friendship amidst features of modernization and growth.

Notwithstanding the tragedy, it is so nice to notice too that business is as usual.

Everything returned to normal as if nothing serious ever took place.

People do their daily business and occupation while vehicular traffic remains regular and smooth.

The government and the people have learned better and are more particular of maintaining peace even more.

Church bells ring as usual a sign that the inhabitants have not lost their faith in the Almighty.

It looks like people are more united now and able to cope up with a grave misfortune. ben-emata.com

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst Yet we don’t even know we’ve been robbed!

So when did we open the door to let this thief in to our lives? What’s his name?

His name is Fear…Fear of what other people think.

And you and I let him rob us when we start surrendering to the pressure of pleasing other people.

When we’re afraid that other people won’t like or accept us.

So after work, instead of going home to our family and being good, loving

Cagayan de Oro will remain strong

THE bomb that rocked the city will not deter the growth of Cagayan de Oro. It will go on growing livelier and more beautiful than ever and will remain strong no matter what.

The people are determined to protect the place and will help solve crimes.

The residents are pureblooded Kagay-anon and their friends from other places became permanent residents too.

Everyone has been supporting the city in all weather and surely the bomb will not scare them a bit.

Soon they will apprehend the culprits to answer the heinous crime they had committed.

I know the place so well and its people. They do not shed tears in misfortunes.

They open their eyes wider and hunt whoever tries to disturb its tranquility or do stupidity anytime of day.

The murderers will soon realize the grave blunder they had committed when they exploded that bomb.

The Striker

Ben Emata Jr. Everywhere you go, in the marketplace, in bus terminals, the pier, the airport and anywhere you will find people in anger.

Cagayan de Oro is their only city, they made it sure will be peaceful and happy.

It is the only place they have where their children were born, growing and attending school.

I am extremely angry too. I cannot describe the emotion deep in my heart.

I know the victims.

I understand the feeling of every Kagay-anon.

I can hear the beating of their hearts.

I am hoping soonest the perpetrators will be in the bag to realize how angry the people are. And for them

Abuses, then and now, for Agusanons

By JOHN RIZLE L. SALIGUMBA of DavaoToday,com

LORETO, Agusan del Sur--Epimaco Malayan and Juanita Loreto had memories of nearly 20 years ago when government troops came and abused fellow Agusanon Lumads in this town.

Loreto told Davao Today, “I can never forget how soldiers forced my father to eat a map because they couldn’t find the NPAs (New People’s Army).”

“Soldiers way back in 1995 ran about the mountains to look

for rebels. If they see you along the way, even if you are just tending to your carabao, they beat you,” said Malayan who was in his twenties then.

Malayan is now 47 and he joined 422 other people who fled for fear from operations launched by the Philippine Army’s 26th Infantry Battalion with the paramilitary Bagani Force in villages of Sabud, Kauswagan, Mansanitas and San Mariano.

System...

the precepts of the Christian teachings about simplicity and humility?

It is indeed criminal to let a few live like royalties of old while more than half of the populace literally live on what the Lord Jesus said in His prayer, “Give us this day our daily bread.” The unjustness of our society is seen in the fact that while the majority live in abject poverty, a handful live in luxury that they don’t have a place anymore where they could store their enormous wealth.

By having the political will to do this, the government will not only be increasing the purchasing power of the majority of the salaried employees and level the playing field called life, it will above all improve the economy because more will be economically and financially empowered. It’ll surely change the entire landscape where everyone will thus have a taste of life’s fullness and abundance.

The ultra rich now can then live without fear that they’ll lose their wealth since no one would be as wealthy as they are now. This may be a dream but a realizable one if government so desires.

be slapped a 50 percent income tax.

This should also be the income tax system I’ll impose on corporate taxpayers but the income multiples are in the millions of pesos.

Other than increasing the purchasing capacity of the individual income tax payers, those earning so much should be made to pay more because an income in excess of what one normally needs based on his social status is already indulgence in luxurious living. Remember that luxury is a privilege not a right.

It is like this. Owning a car nowadays may already be considered a right for every family. But owning an expensive car such as Mercedes Benz or BMW is a luxury thus a privilege.

And for this reason, to enjoy this privilege one has to pay exorbitant cost.

To earn more than what one needs that is commensurate to one’s social status should be regulated and the only power who can do this is the government. It is in this regard where the role of the government as the great equalizer in leveling the great inequalities in life comes in.

Allowing a few to live luxurious lives like the one displayed by the daughter of that woman tagged as the brain behind the P10 billion pork barrel scam is unconscionable even under human standards. How much more if it is measured according to Republic of the Philippines Department of Transportation and Communications LAND TRANSPORTATION FRANCHISING AND REGULATORY BOARD Region X, Cagayan de Oro City RICHARD YAOMO- Vendor CASE NO; 2013-10-1315 CARLITO CAAYAMAN -Vendee 2006-10-714

The evacuees slept in crammed classrooms in Barangay Kauswagan Elementary School since they arrived on July 25. Some have gotten sick with cough and fever.

Not only were villagers crammed in the school, they also brought their livestock, from pigs to chickens.

Malayan said the villagers were afraid they will suffer from the same fate as that of the four youths who were “tortured” last week by the soldiers and paramilitary.

“Basin kami madelikado

mao nianhi mi diri kay para naay makakita sa amo,(Our lives might be in danger, that’s why we came here so people can see us),” said Malayan, who said the four youths came from his village of Sabud.

“Nasakit jud mi ana kay paryente tong isa sa akong asawa. Nahadlok na mi kay kung gibuhat to sa ila, unsaon pa kaha kung makasulod na sila, (We were really hurt since one of the youths was my wife’s relative. We were scared that if the soldiers had done that to them, what more things would they do once they enter our villages?)” said Malayan.

Loreto said troops from the

26th Battalion arrived in their village on Saturday, July 24, to look for NPAs. “They said they are here to keep the people secure as they will conduct a full operation in the mountains. But the people got scared and the news spread quickly which prompted the evacuation of those in the inner villages,” Loreto said.

Malayan said the paramilitary ‘Bagani Force’ guides accompanied the troops. The Bagani Force were said to be “goons” of Loreto Mayor Dario Utasa.

Soldiers reportedly arrived at the school vicinity on Monday morning. They took profile pictures of the villagers. The

military operation has disrupted the classes of a local pre-school.

Loreto said prior to the military operation, the Bagani members had been going around the community forcing them to sign a “tie-up” agreement with a company to build a plantation for tuba-tuba (jathropa) and biograss.

“We refused their demand for us to ask to sign a blank paper that would sell-off our land to the company,” she said.

Loreto also said a mining firm was also interested in exploring materials for marbles.

Local officials and the municipal social welfare have pledged food assistance to the villagers.

But villagers said they are hoping for officials to heed their demand for soldiers and paramilitary to pull out from the villages.

BANGONBANGON Elementary School holds Nutrition Month Culminating Program Our General PTA President, Mrs. Judelyn S. Evangelista gave an inspirational message. She said, parents should understand the importance of nutrition and the importance of vegetable gardening. She ends her message by encouraging parents to have their own vegetable garden.

The winners of the said activities are the following: Sabayang Bigkasan - Grade 2 pupils Nutri-Quiz – Ariel Mansomilla Cooking Contest (Parents) – Group 5 The event was indeed a great success in promoting the objectives of celebrating the Nutrition Month.

Nutrition is not only important in sustaining good health, but it is also the reason to academic success of the pupil. Nutrition is believed to influence upon school performance. The development of food choice in children depends on a kind of living. But the biggest problem of Malnutrition is the poverty.

To formally end the celebration of Nutrition Month, the teachers conducted the Nutrition Month Culminating Program/ Awarding Ceremony and Induction of New Sets of General PTA Officer last July 31, 2013 at Bangonbangon Elementary School Ground.

Min-Vis interconnection could take five years: NGCP IT would take at least another five years for Mindanao grid to get connected to the power lines in the Visayas and Luzon regions given the scope of the studies and actual construction needed for the project, according to the National Grid Corp of the

Philippines (NGCP).

NGCP has already started doing the hydrographic survey to find out “where the [submarine cables] will be going because that is one of the deepest water in the Philippines,” Sy said.

He expects to complete the

study by the middle of next year, after which NGCP would submit its proposal to regulators.

T h e p r o je c t , w hi c h i s estimated to cost $500 million, will be bid out to other parties.

Joseph Ferdinand M. Dechavez, NGCP senior adviser to

the president, said construction would involve the installation of over 400 kilometers of power lines that would allow the country’s three main island groups to share excess electricity supply.

“We’re not simply just talking

about the submarine cable, we’re talking of a very long transmission line, overhead transmission line from both ends. But the longer transmission line will be from that area in Surigao del Norte going to Cagayan de Oro. Over 400 kilometers of transmission EXTRAJUDICIAL PARTITION

of the wounded victims.

He said that of the 46 persons wounded, the Task Force was able to conduct “bio-profiling” of only about 20 victims since some of those wounded, who were potential witnesses, already went back to Manila.

Deloso, however, said the police investigators in Manila closely coordinated with the Task Force particularly in sending the whole information and individual account of the injured victim.

He brushed aside the insinuations the police was delaying the investigation saying the investigating team was working 24/7.

After the bio-profiling, the “Task Force Arcade” would still validate and counter check the gathered data nfrom the victims and

witnesses, Deloso added.

“We are asking the understanding of the people.

The police are also patiently waiting for the result of the investigation,” Deloso said.

“Wag tayong magmadali na malaman agad ang dahilan sa pagsabog” (Let us not be in a hurry to know the motive of the explosion).

We are doing this process with focus and without any pressure,” Deloso added.

In reacting to the accusation hurled by the Philippine College of Chest Physicians (PCCP) the police were “harassing the wounded victims like criminals,” Deloso said the police were just “asking vital information to help expedite the resolution of the crime.”

“We always considered that the wounded victims and other witnesses part in the investigation whose personal profile and background were very important,” Deloso added.

Deloso, also chief of the city’s police investigative and detective management, said that all vital information about the individual and the “forensic” profile of all the wounded victims were also considered.

“We were applying this (forensic) as part of our scientific methods and techniques in the investigation,” he said.

Deloso also disclosed that the task force was now in the process of conducting a biological examination of materials recovered as evidence at the crime scene.

He said that the task force investigating the bomb explosion was not given a “time frame” to complete the investigation. “The PNP headquarters told us to just do our part,” Deloso said.

Police Chief Supt. Catalino Rodriguez, head of the PNP regional command in Northern Mindanao, has created the “Task Force Arcade” to identify the bomb used, the motives, and the perpetrators of the bombing, Deloso said.

He said the police have released the computer generated drawings of three suspects in the bomb explosion that killed six people and 46 others wounded.

The police said the bomb that exploded outside the Kayla’s Bistro last Friday night at the crowded entertainment district at the Limketkai’s Rosario Arcade here was an improvised explosive device, reportedly armed with an 81 mm mortar. philippine news agency

The soldiers’ release order came from the National Democratic Front-Southern Mindanao.

The proposed law aims to reorganize the Philippine Statistical System by centralizing in one body the statistics-generating agencies of the government. The body will be attached to the National Economic Development Authority for policy coordination.

“There will only be one who will release official data or official statistics in order to ensure quality statistics.” says Gervacio Selda, executive director of the Statistics Research and

Marques said they are encouraging the Davao Association of Tour Operators to have their participants come up with new tour packages to entice more guests and tourists to come to the city.

“It would depend on their creativity and participation, on how they would put the Kadayawan theme in their tours,” she added.

Marques said several activities organized by the private sector are being promoted as these would surely add more life to the festivities.

“A calendar of activities will be out soon so we are asking private organizations to have their events

policy of lenient treatment, observance of international protocols on handling prisoners of war, and assertion of “political authority” as among the considerations for the release.

With the release of the soldiers, Ka Parago tells government, “Naa lang koy ipa-apas gamay ngadto sa gobyerno. Kung mahimo ang mga masa dili pasakitan. Kung naa silay madakpan nga sibilyan, iagi og hustisya. (My appeal for the government is not to hurt the masses.

If they capture a civilian they should go through due process.)”

Duterte thanked the guerrillas for observing protocols in treating the soldiers in the course of their capture.

“I’m mayor for everyone.

I’m mayor for the NPA. I’m mayor for the military in my jurisdiction. I’m mayor for the poor and the rich,” he said during the ceremony.

Duterte reiterated his stance for the government to continue peace talks with the NDF. Malacanang called off the talks early this year.

“This war has gone on for (more than) 30 years; it can’t go on like this. Believe me,” Duterte said.

But the mayor frowned

on suggestions for localized peace talks.

“This NPA, they are one unit, you have to talk to (NDF peace panel chair Luis) Jalandoni and (NDF peace adviser Joma) Sison.

Let me tell this government that (the NDF) have their jurisdiction just as we do.

We can do something here at the local level, but with localized peace talks nothing can happen. Nothing will happen because the structure itself is there and you have to follow the line of authority. Just as we do in the national government,” he said. (Earl O. Condeza, davaotoday.com)

Training Council (SRTC). under the act the SRTC would be constituted as the Philippine Statistical Research and Training Institute (PSRTI) which would conduct an independent review of statistics released by the PSA. Carmelita Ericta, NSO administrator said under the law the positions of the head of offices of the NSO, NSCB, BAS, BLES will be abolished. She said the PSA can post its staff in government agencies when their expertise is needed.

She also said the law can answer the issues of the agencies being undermanned, of the present 70% of the NSO positions are filled while 50% for the NSCB. The proposed law which

began as House Bill 6229 was certified as urgent by President Benigno Aquino III and was passed by the Senate under the 15th Congress last June 6.

Meanwhile regional statisticians are welcoming the anticipated passage of the law. “We wholeheartedly welcome it.” says Jaime Paller, Regional Director of NSO-XI. It will also address the dual personalities of statisticians working for the line agencies under DA and DOLE who are torn between the mandate of their mother departments and being part of the Philippine Statistical Association.

One of the key essence of the law was to separate data-gathering and datavetting function from the

regular functions of these Departments. This would result in a more accurate and reliable statistical data which contributes to the formulation of policies and programs that addresses the country’s social and economic development issues.

The heads of the country’s statistical bodies were in Davao City last week as they graced the presentation of the 2012 Economic Performance of the Davao Region, an annual tradition held by the National Economic Development Authority in conjunction with the regional statistics-generating offices. The presentation was held last Thursday (July 25) at the Department of Social Welfare and Development-XI conference hall. --Rudolf Ian G. Alama of PIA

accredited with the City Tourism Operations Office so we may assist in their promotion efforts,” she said.

Meanwhile, City Councilor Al Ryan Alejandre, chair of the tourism and beautification committee said highlights of the festival, to include Hudyakaan sa Kadalanan on August 8-18; opening ceremony on August 9; Tunog Mindanaw and Hiyas sa Kadayawan Cultural Showcase, August 10; Kadayawan Run, August 11; Lumadnong Gama, August 9-18; Lumadnong Bantawan, August 12-16; Sayaw Mindanaw, August 14-15; Pasalamat and Hiyas sa Kadayawan Finals, August 16; Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan and Konsiyerto sa Kadayawan, August 17; Pamulak Kadayawan, Moda

Mindanaw and Pahalipay ni Mayor Concert, August 18; and Agri Trade Fair, August 1-27.

Alejandre said they are planning to come up with a special mall-to-mall route shuttle service initiated by Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte for the convenience of the tourists.

The vice mayor, he said, has already requested the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) regarding the proposal and is now waiting for the agency to grant special permits for the buses.

The Kadayawan Festival is celebrated every third week of August, which also coincides with the harvest of Davao’s exotic fruits, flowers and agricultural

produce. Although already a customary practice of the indigenous people of Davao, the thanksgiving festival was institutionalized in 1986 and was known then as Apo Duwaling.

While the annual festival showcases the natural bounty of the land, it also features the arts and culture of Davao with ethnocultural presentations in recognition of the city’s indigenous and Muslim tribes.

Organizers earlier announced that the budget for this year’s staging of Kadayawan sa Dabaw is pegged at P13 million. But Alejandre said they are still trying to reduce some expenses to possibly trim down the budget to P12 million. philippine news agency
