THE militant youth group, Anakbayan, yesterday assailed the Commission on Elections (Comelec) for its warning earlier of a possible no elections (No-El) or, postponement of elections scenario in 2016. In a press statement, the youth group said: “The Comelec could be condi-
tioning the public for an administration “back-up plan” to sabotage the elections in case it fails to secure the victory of candidate Mar Roxas by ‘hocus PCOS’ and massive electoral fraud.” In a statement, Comelec chairman Andres Bautista said the May 9, 2016 may be postponed, blaming the Supreme Court (SC) temporary restraining order (TRO) against the poll body’s “No Bio, No Boto” policy. “The Comelec is See ASSAILs, page A11

Duterte bids goodbye to Dabawenyos at Pasko Fiesta opening By Lilian C. Mellejor of PNA-11
DAVAO City -- Mayor Rodrigo Duterte bids goodbye to Dabawenyos but assured the city will remain in good hands. “I will leave you with a heavy heart,” he said. This was because, if he wins, Duterte said most of his time will be spent in Malacañang. And if he loses the election next year, he said, “Wala na akong babalikan sa (I have nothing to return to in) City Hall – I will retire from public office.” Duterte stressed he has already turned over the helm of the city to daughter, former mayor Sara DuterteCarpio. “Nasa crossroads na ako sa buhay ko (I am already in the crossroads of my life),” he added. It was also Duterte’s longest public vow after his message and last Pasko Fiesta as this city’s mayor. He thanked the people who stood by him through the
22 years of his mayorship, one term in Congress and one term as vice mayor. Duterte opened the Pasko Fiesta on Friday night. Pasko Fiesta is an annual Christmas event under his administration. In his message, Duterte asked the people to treat each other as brother and sister. ”Don’t say something about the religion. Mindanao is for all people,” he said adding that he would never bar any Filipino from entering any part of the country. He vowed to find a way to find peace for everybody such as the convergence of all Filipinos regardless of tribe, culture, belief and ideology. “After Christmas everything will change. You will have your new mayor,” he said. He also hoped for son Paolo, who may have the chance to be mayor of the anybody. Things will never “I love my country. It referring to his decision of store for me,” he said, addcity after Sara. be the same again for all is the love of my country running for the president. ing that destiny is crafted “I will not quarrel with us,” he vowed. that brought me…,” he said “I don’t know what is in by God. “God has been so good to me,” he said as he underscored he has never tasted political before. He also admitted he had also mistakes but corrected them as well. Duterte went further by inviting groups which struggled for an ideology. “Inclusive – NPA, Moro…I will not tell you to lay down your arms,” he stressed. He said he has no doubt about the leaders of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). See bids, page A10

Rufus bats for ‘Sendong’ Day’ in Cag. De Oro, Ign By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor
CAGAYAN de Oro City-Lawmakers are pushing for a Bill that would declare December 16 of every year as “Sendong Memorial and Disaster Preparedness Day” in the cities of Cagayan De Oro and Iligan. Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, of Cagayan De Oro City, said that House Bill No.

my use of cuss words. I am even regulating myself and will donate P1,000 to Caritas Davao every time I would swear,” he said. Duterte came under fire Monday after cursing at Pope Francis at the tailend of his speech during his proclamation as standard bearer of the Partido ng Demokratikong Pilipino (PDP-Laban) in Manila, while narrating how he experienced a five-hour traffic from Roxas Boulevard to the airport during the Papal visit in January. After his friend told him the boulevard was closed because of Pope Francis, Duterte said, ’Gusto ko tawagan, Pope, p—–ina ka, umuwi ka na. Huwag ka nang magbisita dito.” On Tuesday afternoon, Duterte in a statement expressed “sadness and regret that the part of my speech mentioning Pope Francis in relation to the monstrous traffic gridlock in January came across as being disrespectful to the person of His Holiness Pope Francis. It was farthest from my mind and was never my intention.” He said he “should have explained better my point on the matter of that monstrous traffic gridlock. My strong statement on the incompetence of those in government to address the traffic problem in Metro Manila was my expression of anger borne out of the helplessness of the millions of commuters suffering from this daily gridlock.” In his television program on Sunday morning, he said he admitted his mistake and vowed “to obey the superior authority. In this case, sa religion, yung mga pari, yung mga bishops (In this case, on religion, the priests and the bishops).” Eric Clark Su, co-founder and chief-executiveofficer of Twidl Inc., lauded Duterte for being “humble enough to admit a mistake and how to show a sincere
1973, originally introduced as HB 5955, has already passed third reading in C ong ress but remains pending in the Senate. Rodriguez and Party List Rep. Maximo Rodriguez, Jr. of Abante Mindanao (Abamin), said that the declaration of Dec. 16 as a Sendong Memorial Day in Cagayan De Oro City and Iligan City would constantly remind people
of the wrath of Mother Nature. The Bill said that the Sendong Memorial Day would bring memories of both survivor victims and the rescuers the need to mainstream adaptations and disaster reduction in all areas concerned. The “Sendong Memorial Day” would also become appropriate for exhibits and forums on disaster aware-
gesture (to express) his regret.” Filmamaker Albert Egot Jr., described Duterte’s move as “another brilliant tactic.” “People would not just pay attention for the meat of his speech but also to wait for ‘curses’ and Caritas Davao will surely be grateful.” Duterte’s visit to the Archbishop came a day after he named the late Jesuit priest Paul Falvey who allegedly sexually abused students at the Ateneo de Davao, including himself, in high school. Duterte finished high
school at the Holy Cross of Digos High School after he was expelled by the Ateneo de Davao for misconduct. Duterte revealed in a report aired by GMA-7’s “24 Oras” the night after his PDP-Laban proclamation, that a Jesuit priest sexually abused him when he was young. Two nights later, in Davao City, he named the priest. Duterte said he has “forgiven him (Falvey) but maybe I cannot forget.” He added the same priest allegedly figured in different sexual abuse cases in the US. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

ness, disaster readiness is conducted along with other activities which would remind us of the damage that Mother Nature can bring if the environment is not taking care of, the proposed Bill said. Typhoon Sendong (international code named “Washi”) struck on the
night of December 16, 2011 and wrought havoc in the wee hours on December 17, 2011 as rampaging flash flood that overflowed along the Cagayan De Oro River destroyed houses and carried away hundreds of people who were trapped in their houses on that day. The National Disas-
ter Risk Reduction and Ma n a g e m e nt C o u n c i l (NDRRMC) reported that typhoon Sendong affected at least 92,964 families or 641,098 persons. Also, there were reports that about 1,010 people died and around 200 persons remain to these days, the proposed Bill narrated.

MORE often, the unfolding events around the world make us sad and desolate. We keep on wondering why the world is becoming too small that people now noticed the manifest hatred in the neighborhood. We often heave a sigh of frustration when we find out that the best of our friends suddenly erupt into murderous rage – killing innocent people without batting an eyelash. We are talking about the killings of innocent civilians around the world. While the bombings in Paris, France that killed 130 innocent civilians were carried out by a belief who hates humanity, the shooting rampage in San Bernardino, California was inflicted by a devout family man and his wife. The couple, donning a military outfit, each armed with an assault rifle and a handgun mowed down “coworkers” and officemates who were holding a Christmas party along with their children in San Bernardo few days ago. Fourteen died in the carnage while 21 others were wounded. The victims, ages 25 to 62, never expected that a co-worker

and a friend would snap their lives out of dubious motives. The ISIS claimed that the couple were “supporters.” The US law enforcers are trying to find out whether the couple has connections with the terrorist groups, particularly with the ISIS Anyway, we are confronted with the question on why these things are happening. Elsewhere around the world the murderous rage of terrorists continues to claim the lives of the innocents. Sometimes, we think that the thinking and the thoughts of humanity are drastically changing as the Earth’s climate change,
too. “Climate change means any significant change in climate, such as temperature or rainfall over a 30 year period or more. If the climate is changing it means the 30 year average temperature or rainfall or the number of sunny days is changing.” For instance, a flood has stricken most of the known states and cities in India. The toll has risen to about 260 now. A volcanic explosion has been reported in Italy. And, the most dreadful scenario is the possible confrontation between Russia and Turkey. Indeed, the world is on a brink of disaster. Is the new millennium leading us toward the end of the world? Who cares? While climate change is threatening the world, the Philippines is not really that interested. What interest President Benigno Aquino II to join the climate change conference in Paris was more about business! Perhaps, the President enticed the power sectors in Europe, China and U.S. to relocate the condemned

movement in our town. I saw live bullets in flames flying high in our windows in the middle of the night. He came to our house and gave my father an automatic sub-machine gun to protect us. My uncle also left to us a little Japanese girl about my age whose father was killed in the battle. She lived with us and we treated her like a member of the family. I still remember her face even after seventy years had elapsed. Her name was Narcisa. I was then a little boy and did not have much knowledge about war, but I remember so well dozens of buses passed by our house filled with men who were mobilized for the action.

Live before you leave
My father who was a public school teacher was sent to Camp Keithly in Dansalan, Lanao (now Marawi City), for military training. I thought everything was normal and war has been just part of living. Christmas was around the corner and I expected a big party in the home with lots of gifts, food and candies. My environment was lonely as we evacuated to a far mountain range. Behind our small nipa hut was a foxhole where we could hide in case of Japanese assault. Not far from our place was a river where I learned how to swim, catch fish and play. Two of my elder brothers taught me how to fight, to climb a guava tree and even plant vegetables. I was so young and innocent when I learned how to ride a horse, a carabao and tried to enjoy life by myself. I tried to plow our cornfield with a cow-drawn primitive method of farming. For more than three years, my life was difficult tainted with running, hiding, and confusing. We were deprived of education while away from
Think a minute. They say, “The greatest risk is not taking one.” Why is it when we grow up and become adults, we stop sticking our necks out and taking chances? Yet, at the end of our life, we’ll probably regret the things we did not do more than the things we did. Remember all the new things in life you learned to do that were big risks the first time you did them? Your first time to swim, your first time to ride a bicycle, your first time to drive a car. Some of the things we do all the time now seemed almost impossible before we did them the first time. The great French leader, Napolean, said: “The word impossible is found only in the dictionary of fools and failures.” So ask yourself: “Is the word impossible in the dictionary of my life?” Do you say “I can’t” more often than you say “I can?” Sometimes “you have to go out on a limb if you want to get the best fruit!” We have to learn to be comfortable with uncomfortable challenges, because we can’t discover new oceans unless we’ve got the courage to lose sight of the shore. We need to believe that the best jobs haven’t been found yet, and the best work hasn’t been done yet. But we can’t have the life we want if we don’t change the life we have. A successful woman said: “A bad habit never goes away by itself; it’s always an undo-it-yourself project.” Smart people sometimes change their minds—but fools never do. So we have to leave our comfort zone if we want to reach a new kind

Wounds are no longer visible to others when they heal. However, the memories and emotions remain. Without knowing, our words can sting vulnerable spots where wounds have previously healed. We should always try hard to be mind-
ful and encouraging. In other words, master the art of exhortation. Encourage others today, and remember that God heals your wounds if you so accept. Reflection “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.” -Psalm 147:3

Mankind will perish due to global warming LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… The LORD will strike you with… scorching heat and drought… The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron.

SunAsia to build biggest solar farm in Cebu RENEWABLE energy developer SunAsia Energy will build the biggest solar farm in Cebu, with a capacity of 60 megawatts (MWs), the company said in a statement. The Toledo solar project has an estimated cost of USD 120 million, composed of 200,000 European standard solar panels that will be built 70 meters above the ground. It will occupy about 70-hectares of the Baltao farm, while maintaining the livestock production in the area. SunAsia Energy targets to finish the construction of the power plant by February 15, 2016. According to a study from the Power Systems Research and Consultancy Group (PSRCG), it will generate 861,199 Megawatthours (MWh) of electricity each year and offset 1.72 million metric tons of carbon emissions. Aside from installing ground-mounted solar farms, the firm also offers grid-tied solar installation starter kits for households, gridintegrated commercial solar rooftop solutions for businesses and customized large solar rooftop for industries.

DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING: Indeed, I can only agree wholeheartedly with the statement of French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius that it is life itself which is at stake in the environmental problem which is now known the world over as global warming and climate change. Consequently, if the current United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Le Bourget,
France will still fail to come up with a solution to global warming and climate change, in much the same way that the first 21 years of UN conferences on climate change utterly failed to find a solution, extinction and death of mankind wouldn’t be so far behind anymore. The only problem here is that, although there is already a draft agreement conformed to by the countries participating in the 2015
climate change conference, it is not expected to yield any immediate solutions as yet since it has not been firmed as a law which will have obligatory effect on the world. In short, the Paris conference notwithstanding, there is total failure once again in finding a solution to global warming. -oooBLIND SOLUTIONS TO

Rainfall: A new way to look at trees for climate mitigation SUMMARY: In many parts of the world local people are convinced that forests, trees and rainfall are related in more than one way: forests and trees not only depend on rainfall but help to generate it. Scientists confronted with this perspective have always denied such effects, or at best been ‘agnostic’, as it seemed impossible in their data to find evidence. New evidence on credible mechanisms for forest and tree effects on rainfall is, however, emerging. It can revolutionize current climate negotiations that all focus on greenhouse gas emissions. Biological rainfall generation may be as important for the water cycle as biological nitrogen fixation is for the nitrogen cycle. Managing trees for their roles in rainfall is easier to understand than the complex carbon story, and will offer new ways of reducing negative effects of climate change.
See global, page A11
By DAISY OUYA worldagroforestry.org
A
side event at the UN climate change conference now underway in Paris (C OP21) urged a new, easierto-understand way to discuss trees and climate change mitigation: Rainfall.
Rainfall made through evapotranspiration from plant matter cools the air around, since plants use heat energy to release water into the atmosphere. And a tree is more cooling than short vegetation; it uses 100–200 mm more water per year. But the story is much more interesting, thanks to air currents that transport moisture from one place to another. “Trees in one region of the world can have farreaching effects in neighbouring, or even distant ‘teleconnected’ regions,” Dr Meine van Noordwijk, chief ‘Alone’, a photo by Yudha Lesmana, was finalist in the XIV World Forestry Congress scientist at World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), said photo competition. http://bit.ly/1OjlqSp
at the event, held in the Rio Pavilion section of COP21. “Trees growing in East Africa and the Congo basin, for instance, support rainfall in Ethiopia, thus feeding the Nile, the longest river in the world and a lifeline for 11 African countries,” he added. Forests and trees not only depend on precipitation for their survival, they also help to generate it. Around 40% of rainfall over land comes from vegetation on land, through evapotranspiration and transportation (the other 60% derives from oceans). As such, trees represent an “ecological rainfall infrastructure.” “As new evidence on the mechanisms of forest and tree effects on rainfall emerges, communicating the need to plant trees for rainfall should be stepped up,” said van Noordwijk. “And these trees will help mitigate climate change.” Unlike carbon, we can see and feel rainfall, so the interest in planting trees for rainfall might be greater. With the right trees, an ‘ecological See trees, page A11

God tests your obedience The Gospel of Jesus C hrist ( D e c e m b e r 8 , 2015-Tuesday) Luke 24:1335” And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them. But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. And He said to them,
“What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?” Sometimes we are forgetful of the good things because we are absorbed by the worse happenings. These two individuals forgot the promises of Jesus to them about his resurrection. Once you are in your pains and agony, the
easiest things you do is to think and feel over and over the reasons and causes for this event. You will forget everything because you are controlled by your inner worse feelings. You will neglect the advices of the people around you because what is within you is more vocal than the consoling statements of the people around you. Your
Biblical reflection
ears are closed because you listen more to your inner struggles. Hey! Life is not yet over. Your sufferings and trials are not the finishers of your life; get up and heads up for you to move forward. Be positive because probably God is testing you if you can let go the one that you cared and love. God tests your obedience and faith
that everything happens with his permission. If you are in this kind of puzzle of life, just believe that God is responsible for this and you have no power to question his ways: Printing paid by: Neneth Ranoa - Bobong Balino- Edith Ranoa, PhDTony Jordan – Cagayan Bro.

Nothing is too small for God to use it - even a little boy’s lunch. The disciples could not see how the child’s lunch could be of help, but showing Himself strong through our weakness is characteristic of the way God provides (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). God requests you to trust that He will take care of you! God may allow a condition in your life that you cannot resolve. This is the perfect chance to trust on Him. Hope that the Lord is able and willing to meet all of your needs. This is what the ANDRES P. TAMAYO SR. FOUNDATION, INC. felt the need of Sacred Heart Village Elementary School
Children. They fed the 101 needy children as beneficiaries in their foundation. They gave allocated fund per pupils for 4 weeks feeding daily. It was so miraculous even for a while that our school children benefitted as part of their program and mission. The teaching staff and parent of these children were very much thankful of the unexpected blessings to our children. This foundation is like a Good Shepherd
that feeds not only for spiritual aspect but to the physical strength of our children. We can’t repay of the goodness they have shared. This is the only inspiring message that we can share “And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. - 2 Corinthians 9:8 “. SALUDO KAMI SA INYO.

International church planters and missionaries are the main speakers of the summit. “ Our network believes that any president of the Philippines cannot transform our nation but it can only happen when all Filipino people will surrender to the lordship and kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ and start loving and respecting each other”, according to Bishop Bing Gadian, the founder and president of All Nations Network. The entire network has connections of more than 4,000 ministers in the country, collaborations with 70 countries and has planted 3,000 churches in the Philippines and 3,000 in 30 countries and 2 million people received salvation since 1984. Merry Christmas and Prosp erous New Year. (Source: All Nations Network Multi-media)

home and the only things we learned were the sounds of birds, the crickets, the snakes, and wild animals. We were refugees just like the Syrians of today only that there has never been any help from anyone unlike them who even demand for more. I learned how to live as a mountain boy and wore clothes made out of abaca fibers. I enjoyed life, though with lots of wild fruits, watching eagles and hawks fighting for food. Then we would hear about babies being tossed into the air by the Japanese invaders and struck with bayonets as they touched the ground. I saw cadavers of victims who were evacuees like us and we helped bury them. The old and the sickly were lined up and shot dead. I heard of collaborators, traitors and spies who helped the enemy in their campaign for war. I saw shallow graves in our midst, Japanese planes buzzing our area and terror everywhere and everyday.
Life was tremendously filled with uncertainties, sorrows, melancholy and punctuated by tragedy. As the war was about to end, my parents built a modest makeshift chapel in our evacuation area and invited a priest to say a holy mass. Refugees were invited The problem with the Japanese was not so much to us, but we were alarmed by the rampant assault of the “magahats” a mountain tribe who attacked Christians. We were like “bibingka”, a native cake cooked by flames from above and below. The natives were more ferocious and scary as they use spears to kill. We survived amid thunders of war and tribulations against the backdrop of death and defeat.

“coal-fired power plants” to the Philippines. More coal-fired power plant in the Philippines would mean more employment to the hungry and unemployed Filipinos. More coal fired power plants in the Philippines would mean “cheap electricity” and lesser brownouts. More coal fired power plants in the Philippines would mean more “grease money” or “lobby money” (sounds decent and acceptable) for the sponsoring and hosting government officials! It is of note that the greatest concentration of existing and on-going construction of coal fired power plants nowadays is in Misamis Oriental. When completed the province of Misamis Oriental would be able to generate a total of 670 megawatts. The US environmental bureau has computed that a by a coalfired power plant means a carbon dioxide emission of 2.00 to 2.17 pounds per kilowatt hour. Obviously, the emission would drift toward the atmosphere and contribute to global climate change. Shame on local officials who think only of their pockets and political ambitions in exchange of the people’s welfare. Let’s have more of this in the coming days.

of success. Don’t allow yourself to be buried alive in your comfort zone, like many people do. It’s OK to use your comfort zone to rest in, but not to live in. So after you’ve recharged your energy, leave your comfort zone to move on to your next challenge. Remember, God never puts limits on your faith, so your faith should never put limits on Him. Faith is not afraid of failing; faith is afraid of not even trying. So why not ask Jesus Christ to give you His faith and power to step out and start changing your life today? If you ask Him to take charge, then He will

June 26, 2013, Resolution 9863, dated April 1, 2014, and Resolution 10013 — all related to the deactivation of voter registration records for the May 9, 2016 National and Local Elections, as directed by RA 10367. The Kabataan Partylist and its petitioners argued that RA 10367 and its implementing regulations are unconstitutional as it violates Section 1, Article V of the Constitution which guarantees Filipino citizens not under the age of 18, the right to vote. “In contravention of the above-stated constitutional provision, Republic Act 10367 and its implementing regulations imposed an additional substantive requirement for all voters, both old and new registrants, to submit for mandatory biometrics validation or risk being deactivated or removed from the precinct book of voters, thus effectively barring them from the exercise of their right to vote,” the petitioners said. “While it is good that the SC has addressed this grave and urgent concern speedily, the youth will remain vigilant and on guard until ‘No Bio, No Boto’ is declared unconstitutional with finality,” Ridon said. “Biometrics validation also gravely violates due process as it an unreasonable deprivation of the constitutional right to vote for millions of Filipinos who have failed to register their biometric information despite existing and active registration – in effect a voter’s re-registration – for various reasons whether personal or institutional,” the petitioners added.

In a Decision approved on September 17, Mayor Adiong was found guilty of Grave Abuse of Authority, Grave Misconduct and Oppression for ordering the burning of a truck owned by JERA General Construction, said Ombudsman Conchita Carpio in a decision posted on its website. In her decision, Carpio said the firm was hired by the Lanao del Sur Electric Cooperative, Inc. (LASURECO) to install concrete electric posts and distribu-

from page A8 CLIMATE CHANGE: Why are the world’s brightest scientists and most astute world leaders unable to come up with a solution to environmental degradation, and the ever-increasing warming of every nook and cranny of the whole world? Surely, all of them are known experts in finding solutions to environmental woes. What is more, each of them studied for long periods of time in search of a cure. They have also spent huge amount of money already in their research and conferences and meetings about global warming and climate change. The fact is, the latest climate change conference in Le Bourget, France is already the 21st annual meeting on the matter. So, what, really, is behind the repeated failure of the world to find a solution to environmental destruction? As I see it, this failure is largely due to the failure and blind refusal of experts to recognize that the true solution to global warming and climate change lies in its spiritual angle. -oooSOLUTION TO GLOBAL WARMING: If the truth be told, with scientists, experts, and world authorities continuing in their refusal to acknowledge the spiritual angle of global warming and climate change, the more difficult and impossible it would be for them to find a solution to the deadly problem. If they will only read the Bible of the Christian believers, they will not fail to see that global warming and climate change was actually prophesied to happen in its verses, which say that the sky over our heads will be bronze and the soil will be like iron if people will no longer listen to God and will no longer obey His commands. If we will only look more carefully on these verses of the Bible, it will appear that the solution to global warming will be very simple: listening to God and obeying His commands all over again. The only real problem here is that, man has become so confused in his mind, leading him to rebel against God and refuse to listen to Him and obey His commands. Death and destruction are the sure penalties for this madness. -oooPLEASE LISTEN: “Ang Tanging Daan” (The Sole Way): a Bible study and prayer session online could now be heard, 24 HOURS a day, in the Philippines and the world at www.facebook.com/angtangingdaan or www.facebook. com/ANDKNK (For ANDKNK, look for “Ang Tanging Daan” broadcasts).

Messages of Burmese refugees’ hope echoed by American missionary in CDO Story and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO Lifestyle Editor
FROM the cramped Karen refugee camps in the Thailand-Myanmar border to the urban serenity of Cagayan de Oro in the Philippines, it seemed to be a cultural shift for the then 28-year-old Californian missionary Gordon Griffith when he got married here last year.
But it was not. For Gordon could relate that the 40-year-old conflict in Mindanao is akin to the plight of the Karen people in Thailand. Persecuted by what was then known as Burma in the late 1940s, the Karen people are still in a seemingly stateless notion and has been cramping in nine refugee camps in Thailand for the past 60 years suffering from overcrowding, disease and periodic
attacks from the army of what is now known as Myanmar. Embarking on a Christian mission to the Karen refugee camps in the province of Kanchanaburi in Thailand in 2009, the professional photographer Gordon taught the refugees how to document human rights abuses, taught English to the Karen kids and assisted the grassroots-based newspaper within the camp on the basics

of photojournalism. In 2012, Gordon met the then 24-year-old Graceila Verdadero who was a Filipina from Cagayan de Oro working as a Christian missionary in Sabah, Borneo. In October 2014, the couple got married and settled down in this City of Golden Friendship. Despite that, Gordon never forgot his fiveyear-immersion with the Karen community in Thailand. After settling down here, he decided to continue his peacebuilding advocacy here in Mindanao. Gordon partnered with the local Light of the Word Church’s peacebuilding arm which is in turn part of the larger Philippine Ecumenical Peace Platform. Gordon was part of the Light of the Word’s group successfully securing the release of then Pfc. Adonis Jess Lupiba from the New People’s Army (NPA) in Gingoog City. To help in the logistics of his peacebuilding efforts, Gordon created the #thegriffithprojecthouse where various crafts meticulously made by his talented wife are sold. These are succulents in cocktails, non-traditional Christmas decors, macramé, wall decos, mini-furniture, stylized jars, dreamcatchers and other cute handy house items. Some of these stuff are currently exhibited and also for sale at the 2/L, North Concourse, Limketkai Center till December 10, 2015. You may also contact the couple on their Facebook page The Griffith Project House. The couple is looking forward for a more concerted effort to continue bringing peace and harmony among Mindanaoans in the future.
