700 inmates receive early Holiday treats

Mayor Jennie Rosalie Uy (standing, center) of Villanueva, Misamis Oriental is flanked by mayors in the two cities and 22 municipalities of the province during the outreach.
SOME 700 inmates from the government-run Misamis Oriental Provincial Jail (MOPJ)received hygiene kits during the outreach last December 17. The kit contains soap, shirt, toothpaste and toothbrush. The inmates were also treated with food packs. It was the first activity of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP)-Misamis Oriental chapter since the election of Villanueva town Mayor Jennie Rosalie Uy as chapter head earlier this year. According to Uy, all the 24 mayors from Misamis Oriental have unanimously decided to make the inmates of the Misamis Oriental Provincial Jail as the first beneficiaries for this batch of LMP members because “they are our constituents from Misamis Oriental and they are one of the underprivileged sectors in society since they are incarcerated” while their cases are still See TREATS, page A11
Parishes in silent protest v ‘killings’
Several dioceses and parishes across the country hold a silent demonstration against the surge of killings linked to the government’s war on drugs. The silent protest, according to the Caritas Philippines, is a show of support to calls for an end to the extrajudicial killings of drug suspects. Fr. Edwin Gariguez, executive secretary of Caritas Philippines, said more parishes are joining the protest as more than 6,000 bodies have piled up since President Rodrigo Duterte took office in July. “Killing of drug traffickers without due process, even in the name of a just cause, is morally unacceptable,” said the priest. What is also alarming, he said, is that the poor are most vulnerable to loss of life and the violation and suppression of their rights. “Unfortunately, reports show that majority of those killed are poor people residing in squatter areas,” said Gariguez. “President Duterte’s claim of ensuring and proPasko sa North Cotabato.

Youth urged: More than Simbang Gabi, get involved in parish WHILE many Catholic faithful are all set to observe the traditional nine-day dawn Masses, or “Simbang Gabi”, a priest of this diocese would like to encourage the youth to take advantage of this occasion to get more involved in the life of the Church. “During the Christmas holidays, many young people, in relation to their parishes, are contented with just attending Mass or, at best, in becoming sponsors (“ninong” or “ninang”) in Baptisms and ConFr.

V. Catuiran, pastor of St. Ignatius of Loyola Parish in Taguig City and director of the Pasig Diocesan Youth Ministry (PDYM). ‘Get to know your parish’ While the priest advised young people “…to take advantage of the holidays to spend time with their families and to enhance their personal relationship with Jesus”, the Christmas break can also be the chance for them to “get to know their own parishes”. “It is true that there are young people who volunteer for parish programs and works of charity, but
more should be encouraged to get involved,” he stressed. “The young people can help out in gift-giving among needy children and other Christmas activities. They can also help in various liturgical preparations and offer other social and pastoral assistance to help the least of our brothers and sisters in the parishes.” “Throughout the year, there are faith instructions and outreach projects to help marginalized people receive the sacraments, especially the Anointing of the Sick, Confession, and the Holy Eucharist. “In such kinds of involvement,
the young people will realize that parish life is the locus of responding to God’s call to mission that they will find exciting, fulfilling, and challenging,” assured the youth ministry director. Preferential love for the youth The first day of the Simbang Gabi, on Dec. 16, has been observed since 1986 by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) as National Youth Day (NYD) as the Church’s concrete way of promoting the “preferential love for the youth”.

Ubial assures free hospitalization and meds for poor Filipinos in 2017 SHARIFF AGUAK, Maguindanao--Poor Filipinos need not worry over hospitalization next year because a budget has been allocated for their hospital needs, Health Secretary Paulyn Jean Rossel-Ubial said. “There’s no need to hold any card of Philhealth. Just prove you are a Filipino, you are entitled to be covered by the health benefits, the Philhealth will take care of the hospital billings and other concerns,” Ubial gave this assurance during her visit to the Integrated Provincial Hospital Office (IPHO) in Maguindanao. Ubial said the DOH can now cover the hospitalization expenses of the poor, jobless and elderly seeking assistance after the Department of Budget and Management last month granted their request to pay 32 billion arrears from the 42 billion pesos deficit
from Philhealth. The arrears accumulated after contributions supposed to be collected from government employees’ contributions were not paid to Philhealth in the past five years, she said. “This is the first time in history. President Duterte has exerted all efforts and expect changes to come up in the next days where patients or family members will leave hospitals with no balance billings,” she added. Ubial said she was glad some senators gave additional one billion to the two billion pesos request of subsidy for medicines given to poor patients. Duterte, she said, added another five billion pesos collected from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) to cover additional maintenance drugs for poor patients. This amount will
be handled in coordination with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), under the medical access program. Ubial noted that in the past, people depended on cheap medicines sold in Botika sa Barangay, but this time, she said, there will be no more purchasing of medicines in government pharmacies but every poor family can get it free from the government health program. “Just take care of the poor, I’ll take care where to find the money,” Ubial quoted the President as telling her. Ubial came here to grace the inauguration of the first ever CT scan machine of IPHO-Maguindanao. “ The CT Scanner is needed most here. This is in line with the program of the present DOH giving empowerment to local

Ubial also joined the Maguindanao health workers in giving away wheel
chairs and Christmas package to persons with disabilities, and attended a dialogue with health workers and a Health Congress in Cotabato City capped by a year-end thanksgiving party. Asked about the deferment of the Millennium Challenge Corporation to re-select the Philippines as
recipient of a multi-million dollar development grant due to concerns on “rule of law and civil liberaties,” Ubial said the DOH is not worred because most of the aid agencies’ intervention in DOH are “technical assistance unlike before when they were actual medicines and family planning commodities.” (Ferdinandh B.

Lately, we have heard proposals, mostly foolish, coming from the Department of Energy and from the Mindanao Development Authority that supposedly will reduce the rates for electric power supply in Mindanao. Even if the proponents were wiser, none of the proposals will result in significant reduction of power rates unless the main cause for high rates in Mindanao is addressed: incompetent, if not corrupt, power supply contracting by distribution utility companies in Mindanao. In the sordid history of baseload power supply contracting in the electric power industry in Mindanao in the past decade, the one good episode was the power supply agreement in 2013 between the Power Supply Aggregation Group Corporation (PSAGCOR) of the Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperatives (AMRECO) and the GN Power Kauswagan (GNPK) of the Ayala group of companies. All other power supply agreements for baseload power between distribution utility companies and generating companies in Mindanao have been just one form or another of moro-moro, all show and no substance.
David A. Tauli
It was only early this year 2016 (in the power supply agreements for the generation of the Malita coal power plant of the San Miguel Consolidated Power Corporation) that the electric cooperatives resumed honest-to-goodness leastcost acquisition of baseload power supply, conforming with the EPIRA requirement that “the contracting and procurement of the equipment, assets and services have been subjected to transparent and accepted industry procurement and purchasing practices to protect the public interest.” But that was a fluke, resulting only because the electric cooperatives have become wary of continuing to flout the EPIRA requirement for least-cost acquisition of power supply, and because the SMCPC did not fear facing competition for baseload power supply for the electric cooperatives. Unless legal charges are car-
ried out against the electric cooperatives involved in the Apo IPPA Scam and in the Coal Power Plant Scam, the errant electric cooperatives will resume their incompetent (if not corrupt) ways of “negotiating” power supply agreements without carrying out legitimate least-cost acquisition. The power supply agreement between PSAGCOR and GNPK resulted in an effective rate of around 4.16 pesos per kilowatt-hour. All other PSAs (excepting again the Malita coal power plant of the SMCPC, but including all coal power plants embedded in the distribution systems) have an effective rate per kWh of 5.00 pesos or more. The power supply agreements for power supply from the SMCPC coal power plant in Malita also resulted in a price of around 4.16 pesos per kWh. The Department of Energy of the government of President Rodrigo R. Duterte has placed the reduction of power rates in the Philippines as one of its key objectives. However, based on recent pronouncements of the DOE as to how they are going to attain that, there are only two chances that it will happen while PRRD is president: fat and slim. It is clear that no serious thinking has gone into
the pronouncements coming from the Department of Energy concerning the electric power industry in the Philippines. But even if the DOE seriously considered the available opportunities to reduce electric power rates, any program they will carry out will prove futile for reducing rates unless the main obstacle to having fair and reasonable prices for electricity were removed: the regulatory capture of the Energy Regulatory Commission by the corporations (mainly MERALCO and the generating companies) that it is supposed to regulate. One day, hopefully while PRRD is still president, we may have an Energy Regulatory Commission with honest and competent commissioners. When that happens, power consumers in Mindanao can petition the ERC to bring down the rates of the power supply agreements for baseload power to the levels that could have been attained if the distribution utility companies carried out legitimate least-cost acquisition processes. Then, and only then, would we see the reduction of the rates for electricity in Mindanao. (Engr. David A. Tauli is the President of the Mindanao Coalition of Power Consumers)
On reorganizing government

respecting human rights entails. Maybe it would be more appropriate to allow our human rights sensibilities to evolve organically first before a new constitutional CHR-type of agency is organized again. Indeed, maybe we can enlist civil society first to facilitate the internalization of human rights principles within the community before we bestow upon a constitutional office the authority to enforce human rights laws. This way the new CHR can be the foundation of a genuine and more engaging human rights framework in the country. Another constitutional body that needs to be reconsidered is the Ombudsman. The Constitution describes this office as “protectors of the people”. Accordingly, it is endowed with substantial investigatory and prosecutorial powers to basically enforce the constitutional tenet, “Public officers and employees must, at all times, be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost responsibility, integrity, loyalty, and efficiency; act with patriotism and justice, and lead modest lives.” (Article XI, Sections 12 & 13). In evaluating anti-corruption efforts, the standard to consider is Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). The latter demonstrates the extent of public sector corruption in nation-states. For the CPI of 2015, the Philippines ranked 95th out of 168 nations. Hence, we are perceived to be one of the most corrupt nations in the world. On the other hand, for many years now Singapore has consistently been perceived as the least corrupt country in Southeast Asia. Thus, making its anti-corruption framework the most logical benchmark for the Philippines to follow.

Kissa and Dawat: December in Jolo
n Among Tausug and Sama
languages, “dawat” is the term for ink and “kissa” for story. By Noor Saada of MindaNews
ZAMBOANGA City––I spent my childhood days mostly in Jolo, the historic capital of the once glorious Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo and now the trading hub of the Province of Sulu. These days, Jolo the town, has earned an unsavory reputation as the dateline for all kidnaps for ransom, beheadings and piracies that have lured bounty hunters to this part of the country. Residents would tell us that while these are true events, they are not daily occurrences. Many shy away from discussing these matters because there is too much politics for ordinary Joloanos. There was a time when there was so much pride being in Jolo. Why not? Jolo used to be the center of commerce and education. At this time of the year, school children and office workers were busy buying presents and new clothes to wear. Back then it was called Christmas party. These days it is called yearend party for sensitivity. It was nonetheless a party of games, giveaways and food feast that everyone enjoys. For most residents who are not of the Catholic and Christian faith, it is first of two parties before the year ends, the other one being the New Year. For Joloanos of Catholic and Christian faith, Christmas holds deeper meaning than
just a cultural practice of gift-giving and food sharing. Catholics and Christians thronged around for daily masses and spent the socalled Christmas holidays to visit family, friends and even the departed ones at the local cemetery. I remember as a pupil at Notre Dame of Jolo Walled City, our Catholic and Christian classmates would remind us to take a rest from our games to give us their Muslim friends time to attend sambahayang (daily prayer) and we would assure we would wait for them as they attend the afternoon mass. This was the Jolo we grew up in, where places of worship, regardless of faith, are within walking distance of each other; and religious celebrations are occasions for real-life crosscultural education. This is the Jolo outsiders do not experience and read about in newspapers. Aside from the Christmas or yearend party at school or in the office, many Tausug families get invited to attend home celebrations of their Catholic or Christian relatives and neighbors. When Muslims are invited, often there are two tables prepared. The first table is for non-pork dishes. I remember in school, when kids were just too many, the label “Mecca” and “Rome” would tell us the nature of food served on the table. The Muslims would fall in line at the “Mecca” table and the Catholics and Christians
at the “Rome” table. Often, there would also be “carnival” in town, colloquially referred to as ‘karnabal” and Christian community would mount plays at the Buldoc Auditorium. Joloanos of local fraternities would also have their Christmas and New Year celebration at the beach. At this time of the year, children are fascinated by Christmas lights adorning Catholic houses and make comparison as to whose house is the grandest that year. Many things transcend Decembers in Jolo, such as
religious leaders cordial with each other, inviting each other, visiting each other and talking often with each other. We were not taught diversity and respect, we grew up practicing them. Through our differences, we learned about our Catholic and Christian neighbors as much as about ourselves as Muslims. We learned similarities and differences between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism from our Catholic and Christian classmates and friends as they learned about Islam through us. We learned them
from our daily interaction in our family, in school, in our neighborhood and in our town. Interestingly, there is no exclusive Catholic, Christian or Muslim barangay. Any family is free to choose which barangay to live in. Inter-religious marriage happens. No big deal. Some find it amusing to see many Muslim families living near the Catholic cemetery at Trece Martires or as the locals refer to it, Martiris; and Christians living and Carmelite monastery beside the Muslim cemetery at
Kandang Maw-ag. (MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews.

Surigao provinces to suffer 9-hour power outage Sunday SURIGAO City––Residents in Surigao del Norte and parts of Surigao del Sur are bracing for a nine-hour power outage on Sunday, December 18 due to maintenance work. On November 20, residents in the same areas suffered an 11-hour blackout also due to maintenance work. In an advisory, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), said the two local power distributors in Surigao del Norte and one in Surigao del Sur will have no power supply due to maintenance work on the
transmission firm’s equipment. “We are facilitating the maintenance work at Placer-Madrid 69kv line,” the NGCP advisory said. Engr. Sergio Dagooc, general manager of Siargao Island Electric Cooperative (Siarelco) said the outage will affect them, as they are using the same transmission lines that will be fixed in mainland Surigao del Norte. Siarelco is servicing nine towns in the islands with a power demand of 3 megawatts. Engr. Narcisco Caliao Jr., general manager of Surigao del Norte Electric Cooperative (Surneco)
said the outage will affect their entire franchise area covering Surigao City and 11 towns of Surigao del Norte. The power utility firm had acquired a 10-megawatt modular power generating set last year but it cannot be utilized for commercial purpose pending permits from government agencies. Aside from the modular power generating sets, Surigao City has a new power generator supplier, Nickel Asia Corporation, which built a billion peso land-based generator in the city. The power generator is not also ready for
commercial operation pending the completion of permits. Glorie Rebleza, spokesperson of NGCP in Caraga said Surigao del Sur Electric Cooperative II, which is servicing the municipalities of Carrascal, Cantilan, Madrid, Carmen and Lanuza will also experience the blackout. “NGCP will exert all efforts to restore the line earlier or as scheduled,” she added. Residents in the same areas suffered an 11-hour power outage on November 20, again due to maintenance work. Rebleza explained then that the outage
was “due to upgrading activity at Butuan-Claver 138 KV line 1 and maintenance activity at Placer substation and Madrid 69 KV line.” Since last year, residents have been experiencing long power outages almost every month due to maintenance work. Dinagat Island Electric Cooperative, a power utility in the province of Dinagat Island will be spared from the blackout since it belongs to a small power utility group and is not connected to the main grid of the NGCP.

RESOLUTION NO. 16-72 WHEREAS, in order to have accountability, the Iligan City Government will issue Acknowledgement Reciept for Equipment (AREs) to regular employees issued with government-owned equipment like vehicles, computers, tables and others, after which the AREs are collected and filed by the City Government Services Office (CGSO); WHEREAS, as it has been the practice of the CGSO to provide the employees with copies of the AREs for safekeeping and not to their respective Office; WHEREAS, although it is abundantly clear that CGSO will periodically send its personnel to the different offices to evaluate, check and confer with the employees on the usefulness, condition and whereabouts of these equipment, over time perhaps due to the latter’s carelessness, negligence and some other unforeseen factors, they tend to forget on the number and kind of AREs issued to them and if copis of these AREs are lost while in their possesion, it would be hard for them to keep track and verify; WHEREAS, moreover, it has been observed that when an equipment becomes unserviceable and unrepairable, usually the employee who is accountable to said equipment will just put it aside in the corner and not reurn it to the CGSO, thus some offices unwittingly become repository of old and worn out equipment; WHEREAS, when these unreturned equipment are removed without the knowledge of the employee and the AREs are not cancelled and when said employee retires, during the signing of clearance, he will be facing proble as he has to pay the actual cost of the unreturned equipment; WHEREAS, there is a need for every Office in the Iligan City Government to possess copies of AREs of their employees by assigning an employee to keep ARE records for easy tracking, verification and disposition of unrepairable items; WHEREFORE, on joint motion of Members Simplicio N. Larrazabal, III; marlene L. Young and Roy L. Openiano, duly seconded by Member Cesarve C.

BSP approves further amendments to Foriegn Exchange (FX) Regulations BSP Governor Amando M. Tetangco, Jr. announced today the approval of the amendments to the Manual of Regulations on Foreign Exchange Transactions (FX Manual) to align the same with the provisions of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 10641 (An Act Allowing the Full Entry of Foreign Banks in the Philippines, Amending for the Purpose R.A. No. 7721) and BSP Circular No. 858 dated 21 November 2014 implementing said law. The approved policy
changes mainly involve: (a) inclusion of an express provision that the foreign exchange (FX) funding for permanently assigned capital of foreign bank branches must be inwardly remitted and converted to pesos at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of remittance, pursuant to the pertinent provisions of the Manual of Regulations for Banks (MORB); (b) use of a general reference to the MORB instead of citing R.A. Nos. 7721 and 10641 or the specific provisions of
the MORB; and (c) revision of the definitions of “unimpaired capital of a local bank”, “unimpaired capital of foreign bank branches” and “unimpaired capital of foreign bank subsidiaries” as contained in the MORB. The Governor affirmed that the continuing review of FX regulations is consistent with: (a) the BSP’s commitment to maintain a safe and sound financial system, a stable FX market, and an appropriate monetary policy; and (b) other applicable laws.

We are deeply honored to be recognized for our efforts in relation to governance, corporate social responsibility and investor relations,” said Marisalve Ciocson-Co, Globe Head for Legal Services and Compliance Officer.
