Bulaong added that the provincial government is also planning to establish

Sultan Kudarat police steps up intel operations vs illegal gambling GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Feb. 17 (PNA) -- Police personnel in Sultan Kudarat have stepped up their intelligence operations against alleged “big time” illegal gambling financiers and operators based in the province. Sr. Supt. Raul Supiter, Sultan Kudarat police director, said Friday they are

currently validating a list of personalities who were supposedly behind the rampant illegal gambling activities in the area. “We already identified some of the suspected gambling lords and we’re already gathering evidences against them,” he said. The police official said the anti-gambling drive will

cover “big time” financiers and operators as well as street level bettors. He specifically cited those involved in the “last two” illegal numbers game and other related activities. “Last two” is an illegal numbers game based on the last two digits of the winning number combination of the daily lotto draws

of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office. Philippine National Police (PNP) Director General Ronald dela Rosa had ordered all police units nationwide to intensify the crackdown against illegal gambling activities, with the anti-drug campaign temporarily taking the backseat.

Presidential son Paolo dares Trillanes to prove allegations DAVAO CITY -– Presidential son, Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte challenged Senator Antonio Trillanes IV to prove his allegations that President Rodrigo Duterte and his family own billions of pesos in bank accounts. “If this senator (Trillanes), whose name is not worth mentioning, could prove that I have those millions in the said bank accounts, then I will give them all to the victims of the earthquake in Surigao,” Vice Mayor Duterte said in a statement on Friday.

of being a drug user and when I had proven that I am not, now he accuses me of having millions in questionable wealth,” he pointed out. In the same statement, the vice mayor suggested that Trillanes take a psychiatric test “as something is very very wrong with his mind.” He also asked the senator to resign from his post, saying: “Magresign ka na. Huwag ka na madami pang dahilan (You resign. Do not make many alibis). You are a useless senator and the people of the Philippines no longer believe you.” Trillanes on Thursday revived the issue on the alleged bank accounts of President Duterte which he

claimed would disprove that the President is not poor. Deposited in the alleged bank account is PHP2 billion, the senator claimed. He also showed a list of bank accounts that are named under the President’s children -- Mayor Sara with P121 million; Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte with PHP104 million; and Sebastian Duterte with PHP143 million. On Thursday, presidential daughter and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio also dared Trillanes to prove his claims. “If Trillanes can show where my alleged PHP121 million is right now and how it became illegal, kunin natin at ibigay ko sa inyo lahat (let’s get it and we’ll

give it all to you),” Mayor Sara said in a statement. Trillanes likewise alleged that the President’s common-law wife, Honeylet Salvador Avanceña, has PHP188 million and a presidential friend, Samuel Uy, PHP118 million, in bank deposits. “Wala akong postura labas sa kung ano ang nakikita ng lahat. I never pretended to be what I am not,” Mayor Sara pointed out, adding that she also read the press statement of Trillanes. The mayor said the challenge to answer the allegations was addressed to President Duterte. “Let’s us allow PRD (President Duterte) to decide on how he wants this issue to go down,” she added. (PNA)

Mayor Sara hits senator over rehashed hidden wealth claim

DAVAO CITY -– Presidential daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio, has lashed back at Senator Antonio Trillanes over accusations of illegally amassed PHP121 million. “I never pretended to be what I am not. If Trillanes can show where my alleged PHP121 million is right now and how it became illegal, kunin natin at ibigay ko sa inyo lahat (let’s get it and I will give it to everybody),” Mayor Sara said in a press statement released Thursday. Sara said she is deferring to her father, President Rodrigo Duterte, to answer the challenge of Trillanes. ”Let us allow PRD (the President) to decide on how he wants this issue to go down,” she said. On Thursday in Manila, Trillanes revived his allegation that President Duterte has about PHP2.4 billion in bank accounts. This was an accusation he threw at the President during the election campaign. According to Trillanes, President Duterte has yet to disprove his accusation. If the President could disprove him, Trillanes said he would

resign from the Senate. The senator however doubted if the President would accept his challenge. Trillanes challenged President Duterte after Solicitor General Jose Calida announced he would recommend the release of Janet Napoles, who is currently detained for plunder. It may be recalled that Trillanes opened the issue that President Duterte has PHP211 million in undeclared wealth during the final weeks of the campaign. President Duterte even challenged Trillanes to show up at the bank and he will open his bank account that allegedly contained the

PHP211 million undeclared wealth on the condition that his accuser signs an affidavit and files a case against him. President Duterte dared Trillanes to present himself before officials of BPI’s Julia Vargas branch where Trillanes said the President has bank accounts. The President was then represented by his legal counsel, lawyer Salvador Panelo. Meanwhile, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano hit at Trillanes for once again throwing “false accusations” against President Duterte. In a statement, Cayetano deemed the accusation as another desperate attempt by the senator to stop the reforms that are happening under the Duterte administration. The senator defended the President against the claims and reminded how, during the campaign, they were the only tandem who signed a bank secrecy waiver to make public all their bank accounts. Cayetano expressed surprise why Trillanes is trying to revive an issue that had long been settled. (PNA)

alias Jinggoy and Pulang Bagani Command 2 under alias Lando. Around 5:30 a.m. Thursday, Gapay said rebels attacked the military detachment in Malabog, Paquibato District but the Army troops were able to fight back. The encounter left one NPA rebel dead but his body was brought by the fleeing rebels. At lunchtime, rebels attacked the civilian community at the Davco pineapple plantation in Baguio District and burned the harvester owned by Del Monte Philippines.

Gapay said the attack in Davco could be a retaliation for the death of an NPA in the earlier encounter. Another encounter ensued late afternoon in Lamanan, Calinan between the blocking force and the fleeing rebels. According to Gapay, nearby residents also heard explosions and sporadic gunfires. But Gapay said this has yet to be confirmed by the 3rd Infantry Battalion operating in the area. As of press time, pursuit operation is still ongoing. (PNA)

God puts you already the courage in your DNA to stand up The Gospel of Jesus Christ (February 20, 2017-Monday) Luke 23:35-43- He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comes into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto

him, Verily I say unto thee, today shall thou be with me in paradise: This gospel focuses on Demas the repentant public sinner. In Galatians 3:13-Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hanged on a tree. Look, Despite of Demas public status, he was able to connect Jesus by recognizing him as the gate to eternal paradise. Jesus forgave Demas even

though not worthy to be forgiven. God forgives you although in your analysis you are not worthy to be forgiven. The love of God is greater than your trespasses in life.

WHAT IS A STREET CHILD? By Lucila G. Ocay Teacher III Quezon Central Elementary School

Street children are minors who live and survive on the street. They often grow up and live in landfill, train station or under the bridges of the world’s major cities. Not only here in our country but this is also a global problem. Because of conflicts with their family, these children don’t want to or can’t return home. The phenomenon of street children is multifaceted. The combination

of familial, economic, social and political factors play an important role in their situation. It is very difficult to single out one or more causes. However, children who have been questioned say conflict in the family, poverty, physically abused were usually the reason why they left home and prefer to stay on the street thinking that it is safe and no one harms them. Street children are confronted by large number

of problem, in fact growing up in an environment generally regarded as dangerous, they incur considerable risks. These children of often don’t have access to a healthy and sufficient diet. Sometimes they don’t have even food to eat and look for means in different way to fill in their stomach and they are expose to different disease and to escape reality children start to build their own vices. These very hard living conditions have negative impact not only to physical, psychosocial development

This new thrust has been motivated for the clamor of a higher pension and to ensure that the fund is sustainable in perpetuity,” See urges, page A6

but also to their cultural and economic development. Street children are obviously not educated and what can be done to help street children? Each child has a personal history with the street, so it is important to analyze the relationship of a child has with the street. In order to understand children living and growing up on the street it is essential both to make them participate and put them in contact with key institution or individual looking to understand the structure causes of their situation.

The Urgency to Serve By Stephen Tala Amen Tangub City

This line of a song “we are made of service to care for all men” is a lifetime message that everyone is duty bound to extend kindness to those who are in need regardless of color, religion, social status and others. How does one serve? In fact there are many ways of giving extra service withstanding personal interest. Here is the lists and choose what is applicable. 1. Listen to your first impulse if there is urgency. Your intuition is very fast if it is coupled with desire. 2. Offer your help at once without reservation. Think that what you did may save other lives. 3. Make a difference that stirs the world. a) Take time to those who are crying because of problems bigger than yours. b) Get involved to valu-

able community and charitable works. c) Listen to the noisy confusion. d) It is not on how small you have helped but on how you have relieved the broken and angry hearts. e) Be reminded of Isaiah 41:9 I said “You are my servant” I have chosen you and have not rejected you. Be grateful that our God, the Maker chooses you to serve Him in different ways without delay. It is because in serving there is no subject-verb agreement, no college diploma requirement. After all it’s a mandate from the Creator. It is nice to carry 1 Peter 4:10 wherever you go and whatever you do “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms”. I tried this and have touched lives.

4P’S – FACTS AND ISSUES By Jovelyn M. Naquila Teacher III Quezon Central Elementary School

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4P’s) is a poverty reduction strategy that provides to grant extremely poor household to improve their health, nutrition and education particularly aged 0-14. This anti-poverty program aims to reduce extreme hunger and poverty, achieve universal primary education, promote gender equality and empowerment of women and improve maternal health. How e v e r, t h e p ro gram like any other have loopholes. Beneficiaries received their financial assistance is always late one time as much as three months. Then, what will they do within that period to maintain all their children’s need? The only information they get about the status of the program is that there is no budget, but the poor folks can’t complain as they are afraid of being stricken off from the list. Whereas the Department of social welfare and

Development is also rolling out a media campaign to inform the public that no local politician has the authority to add or delist beneficiaries. Beneficiaries are selected through proxy mean test. The test considers the ownership of assets, type of housing, education of household head,livelihood of the family, access of water and sanitation facilities. But it is sad to know that unfair selection process is practiced by some. Many beneficiaries in some town are not really poor but have avail the 4p’s government assistance being relative or just because they have local connections. And those who are in extreme poverty supposed to be chosen were ignored and disregard. An overwhelming beneficiary said that what would lift them from poverty was access to regular employment. This underscore the fact that one important element to fight against poverty is productive employment.

El Salvador City Jail inmates’ urban gardening By MARK FRANCISCO

FOR four months last year from March to May 2016, around 40 inmates at the El Salvador City Jail that is run by the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) learned everything about urban gardening. Together with their lecturer TOFARM awardee Honorio Cervantes, the inmates practiced preparing the land, mixing vermi-tea and other concoctions such as vermi-composting and learned everything from planting to transplanting, pest and disease management, harvesting, post-harvest handling and storage and even tips on how to make farming as a business such as understanding marketing and markets. In May it was time to put all the lectures into action. At the spacious El Salvador City Jail compound in Misamis Oriental, the inmates began planting rows of pechay and kangkong. A few months after, the inmates harvested their crops. Pretty soon, the livelihood phenomenon spread far and wide beyond the sleeping city of El Salvador and into adjacent towns that people would buy their kangkong and pechay crops by the bulk. It all started when the El Salvador-based Agri-

Festival...

cultural Training Institute (ATI) discovered Cervantes’s square-foot style of gardening in barangay Pagatpat where he serves as barangay kagawad. In the concept of squarefoot gardening, farmers can monitor exactly the number of crops that they have planted since they are grown at a precise amount of space from seeds to seedlings until they become full-blown plants ready for harvest. Square-foot gardening is practiced in the United States but Cervantes, who retired as the Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (Cocpo) director a decade ago before he discovered that he has a green thumb, tailor-fit it for Filipino crops to be grown inside his 300-square meter humble abode in Pagatpat. In his garden, Cervantes successfully grew pechay, kangkong, okra, tomatoes, eggplants, saluyot, spinaches, onion bulbs, green onions, carrots, cucumbers, ampalayas, squashes, sitao beans, chilies, lettuces and Chinese cabbages. The ATI people were so impressed with his success that they converted Cervantes’s garden into a farm school. To this date, 35 residents of barangay Pagatpat have already benefited from the farmers field

Cervantes is happy because the beneficiaries in his farm school are themselves residents in his barangay who will adopt urban gardening the right way through square-foot style – a sustainable garden where residents do not need to buy heavily sprayed fruits and vegetables in the market. By the way, Cervantes was a TOFARM awardee last year. TOFARM stands for Ten Outstanding Farmers of the Philippines. Given his successful replication of the Western style of square-foot urban gardening, that’s not surprising though.

from home to school. In fact there are signs that modern world has created new stress for our children that go beyond technology. Children in the 21st century are more likely to be only children with fewer opportunities to interact with siblings. Children and adolescent are pushed to do more by their protective parents who hover over their children to protect them from potential harm. How does the transformed

nature of childhood affects education? How can teachers and school work together with parents and communities to protect and guide children and learn by making mistakes.

said Dean Valdez. S S S is push i ng for amendments to its Charter specifically on the conservative provisions of the SSS charter on the investing capacities of the Commission. The SSS charter provides for certain limitations on the powers of the Commission to invest its reserve fund. At present, SSS could only invest in private securities (40%), housing (35%), real estate (30%), short and medium-term member loans (10%), government financial institutions and corporations (30%), infrastructure projects (30%), foreign currency denominated investments (7.5) and any particular industry that the Commission deems profitable. “For example, P183 billion of the SSS investment reserve fund is in government securities. This means that the money of the working class is lying in government securities without any asphalt road

being built,” Dean Valdez pointed out. SSS also has plans to diversify assets by directly investing in up to 25 percent ownership in a wide range of industries, including infrastructure projects like toll roads, real estate, utilities and even lotto operations. Dean Valdez cited the case of the Singapore pension fund which has a forty percent stake of Globe Telecommunications through Singtel which the pension fund owns. “This means that the core net profit of Globe Telco, which according to news reports was at P16 billion in 2016, was plowed back to the Singaporean pension fund to the benefit of its pensioners. This can also be done here at SSS,” he said. He added that the return on SSS investments has an average of seven percent for 2016, but SSS hopes to bring it up to 15 to 20 percent next year following the enhancements in investment practices and the new investing projects and activities that the agency plans to carry out in the next several months. “But we need the help of Congress to pass the SS Law amendments that will allow the SS Commission to execute these new investments” Dean Valdez stressed.

“This is an important milestone for (JPhil). Right now, we’re on track with our target to deliver the power plant by the first quarter of 2019,” he said. He assured the SEC that they will complete on schedule the project’s offshore and onshore works as set in their contract. SEC awarded to JPhil, which is a subsidiary of JGC Corporation of Japan, the offshore and onshore contracts for the EPC works of the second 105-MW coal-fired power plant in July last year. The onshore portion of the project was projected to take 30 months to complete and will involve around 140 JPhil engineers and support staff. Lubguban said local communities will significantly benefit from the

project in terms of employment as they will hire around 1,500 workers for the entire duration of the construction phase. He said preference will be given to skilled workers coming from Maasim and the neighboring areas. “We will be doing this work for around 3,000 man hours for the duration,” he said. President Rodrigo R. Duterte led on Jan. 26 the formal ground breaking and kick-off of the project and the ceremonial switchon of the power plant’s first 105-MW section, which started commercial operations in April last year. SEC specifically utilized a circulating fluidized bed boiler, described as the latest clean coal technology, “where low sulfur coal are heated to generate steam that in turn propel the steam turbine generator.” The company said the plant’s Section 1 currently supplies power to more than three million residents in the provinces of Sarangani, Compostela Valley, Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, South Cotabato, Davao del Norte,

and the cities of General Santos, Iligan, Bayugan, Butuan, Samal and Tagum. Dist r ibut ion ut i lit y South Cotabato II Electric Cooperative, which serves this city and parts of Sarangani and South Cotabato, had forged a power sales agreement with SEC for a base load supply 70 MW for 25 years. When operational, the company said Section 2 is expected to serve an additional three million residents in other parts of Mindanao. SEC is 75 percent controlled by the Alcantara Group’s Alsons Consolidated Resources, Inc.and with the 25 percent owned by Toyota Tsusho Corporation of Japan.(PNA)

Aggie dept holds Capabuild for PNS on Organic Agriculture Cagayan de Oro City -- To harness the competencies of organic practitioners eyeing to have their farms be certified as organic, the Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office 10 (DA-RFO 10) through the Regulatory Division has recently staged a Capability Building on the Philippine National Standards (PNS) for Organic Agriculture (OA), here in the city. Attended by around 45 organic practitioners in Northern Mindanao, the training aimed to aide farmer-operators interested towards applying for organic certification by providing them with technical guidance on how to comply the relevant provisions under the PNS for OA. PNS for OA was crafted for the purpose of “promoting organic agriculture and enhancing market competitiveness by providing a uniform approach to the requirements on conversion, crop production, animal production, special products, processing, labeling, and consumer information.” In his message, Jeffrey S. Garrido, Science Research Specialist of the Accreditation Section, OA

Division of the Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Standards (BAFS) underscored the need of doing an internal pre-assessment by farmer-operators of their respective farms prior subjecting themselves to a pre-assessment by an assigned regional field office of DA and an inspection by an organic certifying body (OCB). He explained that the point of the pre-assessment is to verify the readiness and compliance of an applicant for certification and to provide guidance, especially in addressing non-compliances. “If you want to have that security nga talagang alam mo sa sarili mo na once you are inspected by an OCB nga kayo ay makakapasa, you need to have that mechanism within your farm,” Garrido emphasized. “Organic certification ay hindi product-based, it’s more of the system, meaning that if you want to go organic, we’re not just looking at the product by itself, but the whole system, from the conversion period up to packaging, transportation, labeling and storage,” further noting

Jeffrey S. Garrido, SRS of the Accreditation Section, OA Division of BAFS points out to the organic farm-operators/ practitioners in attendance that the internal pre-assessment may only form part of the process in securing organic certification, but it is vital to avoid denial/disapproval of organic certification applications. photo supplied

the weight of undergoing an internal pre-assessment. With the training anchored on empowering interested organic certification applicants of capably verifying and evaluating their level of compliance

on the relevant PNS for OA, its course module covered the following: PNS on OA-Crops and Livestock, Pre-Assessment Guidelines: Protocols and Methodologies, Department Circular No. 4 Series 2015 Certifi-

cation Subsidy Guidelines and Quality Assurance for OA. Centered discussions were also complemented by workshops on the preparation of pre-assessment inspection plan and as-

sessment reports, document review of potential applicants for certification subsidy, and a mock inspection, in one of the organic farms in Claveria, Misamis Oriental. # (JLOlson, DARFO 10)

DTI 10 to launch 23 Negosyo Centers for 2017 The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in region 10 targets to establish 23 Negosyo Centers (NCs) more within the provinces and cities of Northern Mindanao this year.

Mindanao. In Bukidnon, from all six NCs installed, a total of 4,007 clients were assisted; Camiguin has aided 1,778 from the two established NCs in their province; Lanao del Norte, with six established NCs, has supported 7,084 clients; Misamis Occidental recorded 5,367 assisted clients from their five NCs while Misamis Oriental has abetted 7,135 clients from the province’s nine NCs.
