Normin cops wont tape gun muzzles on holidays By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City-There will be no sealing of firearm muzzles of law enforcers in Northern Mindanao during the holidays, the police regional office said Sunday. The order came after police regional director Chief Supt. Noel Constantino sought the permission of the Philippine National Police (PNP) leadership who approved of his plan during a conference in Camp Crame last week. But PNP-10 spokesperson Supt. Surki Sereñas said Constantino has a deeper reason to forego the annual tradition of sealing their weapons’ during the holidays. YULETIDE-INSPIRED.

80,000 informal settlers to flock Oro in 10 years By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– About 80,000 informal settlers would flock to this seaport capital in the next 10 years and the city government needs a housing department that would respond to the burgeoning population, a city councilor said here. City Councilor Zaldy Ocon, chair of the City Council Committee on Urban and Rural Poor and Housing Development, said that the department would serve as an umbrella task to resolve the housing problems in the city. Under the Urban Housing Act, the local government unit is mandated to implement the housing programs as a basic service in line with social justice, Ocon said. He said that for the past five years, the city government has implemented initiatives to come up a study See SETTLERS, page A7

NDF open to bilateral truce before release of political prisoners

DAVAO City––Saying it is the “best gift the government and the NDF can give to the Filipino people this holiday season,” Labor Secretary and government peace panel chair Silvestre Bello III welcomed the statement of Luis Jalandoni indicating the readiness of the National Democratic Front to sign a bilateral ceasefire agreement even DEED OF EXTRA-JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE WITH ABSOLUTE SALE OF A PARCEL OF LAND Notice is hereby given that the intestate estate of deceased URSULANO CAINOY died without leaving a will nor incurred indebtedness during his lifetime and who remains the declared owner of a parcel of land known as Lot 1095-4 located at Tupsan Pequeño, Mahinog, Camiguin under T.D No. 03000012824 with an area of 158 square meters which property has been assigned as my hereditary share of the estate of our father as confirmed in by my co-heirs; is the subject of DEED OF EXTRA-JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE WITH ABSOLUTE SALE OF A PARCEL OF LAND; is entered into by GLORIA CAINOY-TAGUIC, of legal age, married, Filipino citizen and a resident of Tupsan-Pqueño, Mahinog, Camiguin; That for and in consideration of the sum of TWELVE THOUSAND PESOS (Php. 12,000.00) Philippine currency, t me in hand paid by DELIA A. EPINO, likewise of legal age, Filipino citizen and a resident of Tupsan-Pequeño, Mahinog Camiguin, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged to my full satisfaction, by these presents, I hereby absolute SELL, CEDE, TRANSFER and CONVEY the above described property to herein vendee Delia A. Epino, her and assigns, free from any lien or encumbrance; Under Notary public of ATTY. VITO M. CARILLO; as per Doc No. 11; Page No. 4; Book No. 90; Series of 2016. MDN: DEC. 6, 13 & 20, 2016

before the release of the political prisoners. Jalandoni served as NDF peace panel chair until his resignation in early October this year. He was replaced by Fidel Agcaoili. Bello, in a statement released Monday by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, said: “The willingness of the NDF to sign the bilateral ceasefire agreement is indeed a welcome development as this bodes well to a positive atmosphere when we meet again for the third round of talks in January. “A bilateral ceasefire would not only benefit the combatants but the people who are caught in the crossfire of this armed conflict.” “The GRP panel further recognizes the NDF’s efforts to work with us to attain peace. Its declaration

of an indefinite unilateral ceasefire in response to President Rodrigo Duterte’s declaration in August is unprecedented and historic,” he said. “Agreeing to a bilateral ceasefire is another milestone in the peace process. Both panels have never set preconditions since the start of the negotiations under this administration,” he added. The NDF last month demanded that political prisoners must be released first before the signing of the ceasefire agreement. “The longer the GRP takes to fulfill its obligation to release all political prisoners, the prospects of such an agreement ever being forged become ever dimmer,” said the Communist Party of the Philippines statement dated November

24 but released to the media on November 27. But last December 6, a statement from OPAPP quoted President Rodrigo Duterte as saying there will be no substantial release of political prisoners, pending the signing of the ceasefire agreement. “Produce to me a signed bilateral ceasefire agreement and I will release them within 48 hours. You can take my word for it,” Duterte said. Two days after, the President reiterated his position on the release of political prisoners. “I have conceded to the communists too much too soon. As yet, I have to see a

substantive progress of the talks. They are asking for 130 detainees to be released, all NPAs (all members of the New People’s Army). Sorry, I cannot do that. I cannot do it because uubusin nila ang baraha ko” (I will lose all my cards), Duterte told reporters at the groundbreaking rites for the Bicol International Airport terminal in Legaspi City on Thursday last week. Despite Duterte’s pronouncements Bello assured the administration remains committed to work for the release of a substantial number of political prisoners. “Despite the challenges, we continue to struggle to make peace happen for the

country and the Filipino people,” he said. He hopes the truce will end the hostilities and lead to just and lasting peace. In a statement dated December 4, the CPP said the military had continued to undertake armed actions against the New People’s Army despite the unilateral ceasefire declarations issued by the government and the NDF. “The CPP is utterly dismayed at the failure of GRP President Rodrigo Duterte to rein in the war dogs of the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines. It is quite apparent that the order made by Duterte last August as See TRUCE, page A7

You know, Jesus Christ was born just so you and I could finally know why we were born. It’s sad that some people live their whole lives and die without ever even knowing why they were born. It’s like doing something the wrong way all your life without ever knowing there’s a right way to do it. So it’s only natural that the one Person Who knows the right way our life works is the One Who made us. Jesus Christ, who’s God the Son, said that for us to know why we were born we have to first be born again. What did He mean by that?

Simply that we each must start life all over again by asking Jesus to forgive us for our past wrongs and living our own way. Then we must let Him take full control of every area of our life every day. Jesus does not want us to have religion. He wants us to have a daily, personal relationship with Him. This is why Jesus died and came back to life: so you could be forgiven and free from your past, wrong life. He’ll show you how to start living His right, successful way everyday for the rest of your life. So why not make today

Hero for the ages

WHEN Fidel Castro and his comrade in arms Che Guevara organized their ragtag revolutionary army, Cuba was under the thumb of organized crime. I mean that literally. The Fulgencio Batista regime was an extension of the Mafia. The island-economy lived off the casinos of Havana, patronized mainly by American gangsters. A small cabal of sugar plantation owners accounted for the rest of the economy. For the rich, “anything goes.” For the many living in misery, “nothing comes.” Needless to say, the Batista regime was staunchly pro-American. Washington saw Cuba as nothing more than a minor satellite fueled by gambling. The things the gangsters got away with in Havana, they could not do in the United States.

Against that backdrop, the charismatic Castro was seen as a liberator. He threw out a corrupt and tyrannical regime and replaced it with a social democracy that put people’s needs first. His ragtag troops marched from the far end of the island and entered Havana a triumphant army cheered by the people. Washington did not take lightly the easy overthrow of a loyal client regime. They launched an invasion spearheaded by Cuban exiles. That invasion died on the beach, at the Bay of Pigs as the Cuban people rallied behind their new revolutionary leader. Twice humiliated, Washington threw a crippling economic embargo around Cuba. Subsequently, the CIA launched a total of 600 assassination attempts against

Castro. The revolutionary regime survived the embargo, but not without great sacrifice. Castro survived all the assassination attempts and courageously stood up to the United States for five decades, defying America’s self-proclaimed hegemony over that hemisphere. The Cuban liberation inspired other movements of national liberation that emerged in the decades that followed. Castro had an ardent following not only among Latin American revolutionaries but among their Asian and African colleagues as well. Cuban volunteers directly and openly assisted liberation movements elsewhere. Castro was never shy about exporting his revolution. His comrade, Guevara, was killed in Bolivia shortly after the triumph in Havana,

Will you stand with me? DAVAO City––This week, I was in a dialogue group with people living in fear of police due to the War on Drugs, when a young artist from Tondo shared how police special forces entered his house in plain clothes, looking for an alleged drug user under a fake name. They then took pictures of the displayed picture of his 62-year old grandfather and left. Another experienced community organizer immediately told him, “Brod, send your Lolo to the province, he is in danger.” The young man replied, “But who will take care of his responsibilities around the house?” and his friend answered, “How will he take care of his responsibilities if he is dead?” Since July, various groups and individuals, myself included, have spoken, written, lamented, organized, and sought various avenues to express our revulsion to the nearly 6,000 mostly poor, urban men, killed in the war on drugs. These victims were often the bread winner of their families, many had been, or were involved in drugs, some were innocent bystanders, others were simply killed to fill

police “quotas.” Regardless of their status, occupation, or alleged criminal activity, none deserved to die in such a manner. In addition to the dead, are hundreds, perhaps thousands of people who have fled across the Philippines after being tagged as a drug user, or left in fear after a family member was killed, afraid to speak out and afraid to stay, in silence they melt away. It could be the largest internal displacement in years, but no one is even tracking the numbers, it remains invisible. Yet in spite of our efforts, nothing changed, the killings continue. We have been confounded at the silence of many leaders, in particular, in our churches, mosques, and places of worship. We are appalled at the apparent widespread disregard for the dignity and sanctity of life, of the image of God imprinted in all people. Imagine if these had been environmentalists, social activists, gender-equality advocates, or church workers who were being wantonly killed. If any other social group was being picked off in ones and twos (and NOTICE

occasionally massacred in groups of 5 or 10) by state security forces and paramilitary death squads, and their bodies left in the streets, I doubt we would be so immobilized. But I am not giving up; I am leveling up. This past weekend, U.S. Military veterans started arriving in Standing Rock, North Dakota, to join with hundreds of Native Americans and their allies to protect the Ancestral Domain being threatened by the Dakota Access Pipeline. They even brought protective gear knowing that Native resistance had already encountered rubber bullets and water canons. They were committed to standing together, and if necessary, standing in the gap to prevent further aggression. For the veterans, not only was it an act of solidarity against oppression, but an act of repentance to prevent a repetition of past sins, an initial reparation for the impunity of their colonial ancestors. A few weeks ago, a Philippine Army General said plainly to me out of the blue, EXRAJUDICIAL SETTLEMENT AMONG HEIRS

EXTRA-JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE

Tuesday, December 13, 2016

“We need to have a forum… to discuss the issue of impunity. How can we have peace without justice? Our credibility is being ruined.” The time for talk is over. Over the past few weeks, as I have traveled between Manila and Davao, I have noticed a new non-partisan, post-ideological movement of intergenerational activists mobilizing to confront the massive killing and impunity that is happening every day across the Philippines. My question for the rest of the Filipino people, in particular, the members of the Philippine Armed Forces and police, speaking as a fellow veteran (I spent 6 years in the U.S. Marines before I became a

conscientious objector), is this: Who will stand peacefully yet assertively, like those veterans at Standing Rock, for these thousands of dead Filipinos, and for the credibility, honor, and integrity of the police, military and security forces whose reputation has been stained blood red over the past few months? At Standing Rock, a small group of non-violent but courageous activists of all backgrounds exposed the inherent instability of state oppression by standing unarmed between rubber bullets and water cannons. Who will stand in the gap between Filipinos and real bullets? •••

A lt houg h Cub a remained a poor country, its primary healthcare and educational systems became the envy of even the most developed countries of the world. Cuba produced the most healthcare professionals per capita, allowing the country to send out medical expeditions abroad. Most recently, a large Cuban medical contingent was sent to eastern Africa to help fight the Ebola outbreak. The well-developed healthcare system was supported by excellent laboratories that produced inexpensive medicines supplying many countries. When Washington threw an economic cordon around Cuba after the 1959 revolution, the country was caught with a bountiful sugar crop on the eve of the hurricane season. The Soviet Union came to the rescue, sending a fleet to take out the sugar. In exchange for that gesture, for which Castro was always grateful, the Soviet Union brought Cuba firmly into its circuit, setting up missile facilities on the island aimed at the United States. These facilities, in turn, provoked the “missile crisis” that nearly led to a nuclear war between the two superpowers. Castro’s government survived the demise of the Soviet Union as well as 10 US presidencies. That is a testament to the extent to which his people supported his revolution. Cuba was poor, but among its population no one was poorer than the others. Castro’s regime was, to be sure, regularly denounced for being repressive. Even when the Obama administration, at the instance of Pope Francis, began the process of thawing US-Cuban relations, this was strongly resisted by American conservatives. In the United States, opinion on the validity of Castro’s revolution continues to be intensely divided.

Falsafi broke down in tears as he lay down on the floor after beating the Japanese champ. However, even as Ahmadreza carried the momentum after beating the champ, Kamatsuka outperformed the Iranian, who committed some mistake in the semifinal showdown. Gertsson, who won his first championship in 2014, beat Indonesian Ardhi Andyadi in their semifinal showdown. In the battle for third, Andyadi outperformed Ahmadreza. This year’s judges were ace freestyle footballers: Norwegian Erlend Fagerli, a runner up in the 2015 Red Bull Street Style World Championship Polish Syzmon Skalski, the 2013 Red Bull Street Style champion; and Argentinian Carlos

Iacono, the 2016 Red Bull Street Style World Champion. This year’s Asian Freestyle Football Championships was organized by Maharlika Sports. It is the first time that the country hosted this international event. Philippine Azkals’ stars Misagh Bahadoran, Simone Rota and Dabawenyo Amani Aguinaldo were also present in the championship round. (MindaNews)

expectations are high for Cagayan de Oro to obtain more gold medals, he added. But Vitorillo said he is optimistic their players will continue the winning streak since many of their athletes were champions in the previous regional and national athletic meets. “We aimed to surpass our record last year. With our competitive players, we hope to achieve that,” Vitorillo said during the pre-event interview at the Mambajao Central School where the Cagayan de Oro delegates are billeted. In its lineup is young boxer John Vincent Pangga, a gold medalist (light paper division) in the national athletic tourney in Albay City last April. Aside from Pangga, boxing, arnis and taekwondo gold medalists will also contribute to their win, he said. Vitorillo said Pangga, a ninth grader, is a product of an open high school program that benefits athletes who excel in their fields but no longer have the time to attend regular classes. “Pangga is one of our best bets for a gold medal. Our other athletes are just as good,” he furthered. For his year’s NMRAA, new events – wushu, billiards, futsal and wrestling – are introduced for the first time in the regional meet. When word came out that wrestling and wushu were declared as an official game of the national and regional meets, Vitorillo said they began to train a handful of athletes right away in November. Their advantage, he said, was they picked out their wushu players from those who have been trained in taekwondo. Vitorillo said Cagayan de Oro Mayor Oscar Moreno has allocated P5.5 million for the city’s delegates to the NMRAA 2016.

yearly PNP practice of taping the muzzle of service of firearms in an attempt to raise the bar of discipline and promote responsible use of government-issued firearms among the law enforcers. “The practice of muzzletaping only shows the distrust of the organization to its very own policemen such that we need to require unit commanders to physi-

The police regional chief said the PNP leadership today “trusts and treats every policeman as a responsible law enforcement officer and gun-holder who will not fire his firearms indiscriminately and will only fire it when it is extremely necessary to do so in the line of duty.” Constantino has also warned against indiscriminate firing during the celebrations. “Thos who will violate the directive on illegal discharge of firearms will be severely dealt with the fullest extent of the law,” said Constantino, who quoted PNP chief, Director General Ronald dela Rosa. Sereñas said other police regional offices might follow suit considering dela Rosa has given his approval to Constantino’s proposal.

of the province. According to Emano, the province has expressed interest in the infrastructure development of various tourism oriented projects in Misamis Oriental. He said that there were more than a dozen tourism potential sites in Misamis Oriental, which could perk employment and economic development once the sites were fully developed. Emano also emphasized the need for more farm-tomarket roads and bridges that would link the hinterland villages, especially in the transport of farm products to the local market. The JICA officials also assured the provincial government that whenever an infrastructure project would be carried out, JICA would hire only local workers and personnel.

that would respond to the housing needs of the city’s about 34,000 informal settlers, including the victims of Typhoon Sendiong in 2011. Ocon said that, based on the walk-in applicants, the number of informal settlers in Cagayan De Oro City has reached to 54,000 in 2016. The creation of the City Housing and Urban Development Department (CHUDD) as a separate department, would certainly address the housing problem as the informal settlers in the city is expected to balloon to 80,000 in the next 10 years, he said. There is now a need to organize a department that would focus on housing program and local shelter plan for the informal settlers, Ocon said.

government’ and with the CPP-NPA is an empty one considering that not a single area command of the AFP respected nor implemented this policy. On the contrary, the AFP continues to regard the CPP-NPA with extreme hostility,” the statement said. “The AFP deceptively describes their combat and psychological operations as ‘peace and development’, ‘civil-military operations’, ‘medical missions’, ‘visitations’, ‘community outreach’, ‘anti-drug campaign’ and so on. They try to fool the people by claiming their fully-armed combatants are engaged in “non-combat operations,” it said. It added that if the AFP continued with its deployment in guerrilla zones, the NPA would be forced to take defensive action and the CPP would have to terminate its unilateral ceasefire declaration.

Dumrique, who was believed to be the main target, ran for mayor of President Quirino in May 2016 but lost in a three-cornered fight won by Azel Mangudadatu. Supiter said Dumrique acquired two security escorts because of persistent threats to his life. However, it was not known where the threats came come from and if these were politically motivated. Dumrique’s security escorts were SPO1 Jonathan La Forteza of Lambayong police and Corporal Ruel Dordas of the 33rd Infantry Battalion. Only La Forteza was present when the attack occurred. He fired back but failed to hit the gunman who fled with an accomplice aboard a single motorcycle. The Army escort had gone home some two hours before the shooting. Police were still investigating the incident. (Ferdinandh B. Cabrera/ MindaNews)

counterinsurgency program, Oplan Bayanihan. Hundreds of progressives from the Visayas and Bicol regions joined those in Metro Manila, as part of the week-long protest caravan Lakbayan. The groups condemned the soldiers’ attacks and continued harassment of progressive leaders in rural communities. They said that aside from branding progressive leaders as “News People’s Army” members, state agents are now also branding activists as “drug suspects” to justify arrests and other forms of harassments. “Digong, tama na (enough)!” went the chanting, led by Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes, who said Duterte – who goes by the nickname “Digong” — from page A2 should stop the “madness.” commander-in-chief to He said as chief executhe AFP to ‘be friendly tive, Duterte has responsibilwith the revolutionar y ity to stop the rights abuses

under Oplan Bayanihan and his vicious war on drugs which has killed almost 6,000 people, mostly from the poor. Most of all, said Reyes, Duterte should stop the madness of rehabilitating the Marcoses. Reyes criticized Duterte’s claims of being a “Leftist and a socialist” when up to now, he is yet to order the release of more than 400 political prisoners, while he allowed a hero’s burial for ousted dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. “The President should not listen to the generals, the police, the landlords and the politicians. He should listen to the people,” said Reyes. Duterte should release all political prisoners Bonifacio Ilagan, Carmma lead convenor, said drug addicts have a chance to go into rehabilitation, but those who are addicted to power and plundered wealth, such as the Marcoses, have no cure. “But the Marcoses were rehabilitated by no less than our president, along with nine justices of the Supreme Court,” he lamented. He said Duterte has trampled on the victims of martial law by allowing a hero’s burial for Marcos, who was deposed by the Filipino people. Marcos’ addiction to power, he said, was inherited by his son, Bongbong, who, he said “will certainly run for president.” He dared Duterte to cut his ties with the Marcoses. “Kung hindi, magsolian na ang dapat magsolian ng kandila,” said Ilagan, adding that they survived fighting a dictator during martial law and will again fight any attempt at reviving martial law. Groups also lambasted Duterte’s statement that he will not release political prisoners until the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) has signed a bilateral ceasefire agreement. Also speaking at the program was NDFP peace consultant Concha AranetaBocala, who said the peace negotiation “is not a poker game and the political prisoners are not pawns.” “This shows that the GRP (Government of the Republic of the Philippines) only wants a ceasefire, but is not sincere in addressing the roots of armed conflict,” she said. Bocala added that the NDFP is open to signing such an agreement, provided that political detainees are released within 48 hours. Boy Cadano of Hustisya said he is happy that his youth activist son, Guiller and his companion, Gerald Salonga, were recently released after two years in detention, following their acquittal from criminal charges. “I am happy as a father, but my happiness is incomplete, because more than 400 political prisoners are still in jail. They should all be free,” he said. He cited 66-year-old political

detainee Bernabe Ocasla who recently died from a heart attack at the Manila City Jail. “How many more should die before this inutile government take action?” Cadano said. Not the change we want Karapatan secretary general Cristina Palabay said no change has come under Duterte government. Despite his campaign promise of “Change is coming,” Palabay said political prisoners are still detained and dying in jail, cases of illegal detention and torture continues to mount, as well as extrajudicial killings under Oplan Bayanihan and anti-drug operations Oplan Tokhang and Oplan Double Barrel. Worse, she said that under Duterte, the court acquitted and freed President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, whose counterinsurgency program Oplan Bantay Laya killed 1,206 activists. Duterte also promoted and appointed Lt. General Eduardo Año as chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Año was implicated in the abduction of peasant activist Jonas Burgos in 2007. “Is this the change we want?” she asked. The crowd resoundingly replied: “No!” She said that although they support Duterte on his pronouncements for an independent foreign policy, but they will never back down against the dictator tendencies of the President. In Mendiola, protesters burned a horned monster effigy which depicts the political rehabilitation of the Marcoses, continuing state fascism, extrajudicial killings, detention of political prisoners and Oplan Bayanihan. “Namatay si Marcos pero kamay na bakal ng estado ay patuloy na ginagamit laban sa mamamayan (Marcos is gone but the state continues to use an iron fist against the people,” said Bayan Metro Manila chairperson Raymond Palatino, as protesters burn the effigy. Vencer Crisostomo, Ana kb ay an chai r man , meanwhile, vowed to fight against any rising dictatorship. “If martial law will be declared, we will fight even if it costs us our lives,” he said.
