Tribal leader says Alamara not behind killing of Lumad student By Antonio L. Colina IV of MindaNews

TALAINGOD, Davao del Norte--Members of the paramilitary group Alamara were not responsible for the killing of a 15-year old Lumad student in a village here on Sunday, a tribal leader said. In an interview on Tuesday, Datu Lumansad Sibogan, member of the council of elders of the Ata-Manobo Tribal Council of Elders Association of Talaingod, said Alibando Tingkas was killed during a “pangayaw” EXTRAJUDICICIAL PARTITION OF STATE WITH A DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE Notice is hereby given that the intestate estate of the Late ISMAEL BARILLO, who died intestate on February 12, 1999 and THOMASA RABUYO who died intestate on January 13, 2014, left a parcel of land, Lot 5877-A, Psd-10-001354 situated in Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City containing an area of TWO HUNDRED FORTY FOUR (244) square meters more or less. That for and in consideration of the sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS ONLY (100,000.00), hereby acknowledged from the vendee, MA. ROFEL N. MALUTO, of legal age, Filipino, married to EDGARDO L. MALUTO and resident of Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City, we hereby CEDE, SELL, TRANSFER and CONVEY of the above described parcel of land, her heirs, assigns, and successors-in-interest.

or tribal war in Sitio Laslasakan, Brgy. Palma Gil, Talaingod. He said Tingkas, his grandson, was killed by Joven Salangani who took revenge against the victim’s family after his uncle, Donato Salangani, was killed by alleged members of the New Peoples’ Army (NPA) on the same day. Donato was allegedly shot by Luib “Bagani” Daus, Dalahis “Carlos” Manlulugpis, and Tudtud Ladahay under one Commander Jose of the NPA for turning his back on the group. In a press release, the Save Our Schools (SOS) Network also named Joven Salangani, whom it tagged as an Alamara member, as a suspect in the killing. In an emailed statement,

the 10th Infantry Division said Donato Salangani declared a pangayaw after learning that his daughter, Tessie, 18, died inside the Haran Evacuation Center in Davao City, a facility run by United Church of Christ of the Philippines but he had not seen her remains. It said the 10th ID received reports that Donato was harvesting abaca with his wife, daughters and other companions “when he was shot to death by a group of NPAs at Sitio Sambulangan, Barangay Baugan.” It added Tingkas was a member of the tribe to which the suspects in Donato’s killing belong. Citing a blotter report obtained at the Office of the Ata-Manobo Council of Elders of Talaingod, the

statement read that Colorot Salangani, the wife of Donato, reported they were ambushed by rebels using M4, AK-47 and M14 rifles at Sitio Sambulongan, Barangay Baugan. “The council of elders resolved to call the two sides to the office of the tribal elders to settle the killings through their tribal justice system,” it said. Alamara or not? Sibogan denied the presence of Alamara in their community and said it was the NPA that caused the conflict. He added that Tingkas had already stopped from attending classes at the Salugpongan Ta Tanu Igkanugon Community Learning Center, a Lumad-run school about two years ago.

The school is located in Sitio Km. 30, Barangay Dagohoy in Talaingod. Rius Valle of SOS Network said Alibando was shot in the chest twice. “We are enraged and saddened by this incident. The paramilitary group and their military cohorts will not stop from attacking and even killing lumads in the name of their counterinsurgency operations, even children are not spared anymore” Valle said. “Witnesses said they were on their way home, walking from Sitio Nasilaban, Brgy. Palma Gil heading towards Sitio Bayabas, when suddenly they were fired upon in Sitio Laslasakan, just a half-an-hour walk from Sitio Nasilaban,” he said. He noted that the sus-

pect is from Sitio Barobo, “a known Alamara territory where a detachment of the 68th Infantry Battalion (is) located.” He said the community believes that the Alamara was organized and funded by the 68th IB, an allegation the 68th IB commander denied. In statement, MGen Rafael Valencia, commander of the 10th ID, refuted the allegations saying his soldiers and members of the Civilian Armed Force Geographical Unit abide by the law and were not near the site where the killing happened. He called SOS Network’s allegation “another deceptive attempt to put the AFP in the bad light.” (Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews)

City’s exorbitant taxes under fire The local business sector is up against the city’s business tax charges. They have the suspicion that the City Treasurer is not implementing the newly approved Cagayan De Oro City Tax Code of 2015. While the 2015 Tax Code reportedly promises a lower and fair business tax, the business sector is surprised to learn that they would be paying “much higher” business tax for the year 2016. The Cagayan De Oro Chamber of Commerce, Inc. (Oro Chamber) has reportedly asked an extension of the payment of business tax to January 31, 2016. The deadline for the payment of the business tax was on January 20. An informant said that the Oro Chamber would ask the court to stop the City Treasurer from

further collecting business taxes until the issue of the 2015 Tax Code is settled. A business man also complained on the City Treasurer’s alleged “dubious” environmental fees. Last year, the City Council has revoked the P 1.00 “environmental fee” collected from the shoppers. However,

the City Treasurer is still collecting the “environmental fees” in the renewal of business permits. The informant said that the City Treasurer would forego the “environmental fees” once the businessman would complain its inclusion in the tax assessment. If true, why is the City Treasurer doing this? Who has given the instruction to still include the “environmental fees” in the tax assessment after the environmental ordinance was revoked? Why would the City Treasurer exclude the fees when a businessman complained? Another thing, the business sector is also wondering why the City Treasurer is trying to collect higher taxes, which seemed in contrast to the 2015 Tax Code?

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God…” (1 Corinthians 10:31, the Holy Bible). -oooCAN ENRILE PROVE CRIMINAL RAPS VS. PNOY? Let us assume that Senate Minority Leader Juan Ponce Enrile can prove the “active and direct” involvement of President Aquino in the planning and preparation of the operation that killed Malaysian terrorist Zulkifli Abdhir (or Marwan) in Mamasapano, Maguindanao on January 25, 2015. Let us also assume that Aquino did not do anything to save the policemen involved in the operation while they were being butchered by the rebel-allies of

the terrorist, presumably because of two things: he did not want to antagonize the rebels with whom he was trying to broker a peace deal in Mindanao, and because helping the policemen will derail his ambition to be awarded a Nobel peace prize. -oooENRILE SETTING UP PNOY FOR MURDER RAPS: Then what? My perception is that, Enrile is setting up the filing of multiple murder charges (44 in all, for each of the policemen from the Special Action Force who were massacred that day) against Aquino who, after he steps down as president on June 30, 2016, can already be sued and tried by the courts for the crimes that he commit-

ted when he was president. If Aquino is sued for 44 counts of murder, there is no way he can be allowed bail while he is being tried, which means he must also be detained. Which means, Aquino will have to suffer the fate that befall the previous two presidents of this country---President Joseph Estrada and President Gloria Arroyo, after they stepped down or were removed from power. -oooCAN PNOY BE SUED FOR MURDERS OF SAF 44? Now, when is a crime like murder, committed by a person like Aquino, who was not even at the scene of the crime, or who did not even fire any single shot, or threw any single punch, or lunged at anyone with a

What’s your pleasure? Do you enjoy music and parties? A nice meal with your closest friends? Or do you enjoy gambling and alcohol? Maybe you love sports like football, tennis or golf? What’s your greatest pleasure? As one guy puts it: “What turns your eyes red?” Pleasures make us feel alive and free. But the problem with pleasure is that it only makes us feel good and satisfied for a short time. Unfortunately, we still end up feeling like the old hit song by the Rolling Stones:

“I can’t get no satisfaction.” After the party’s over we’re back to living our same, everyday life and responsibilities. It seems even worse after your big high and pleasure. Just ask the guy with the terrible hangover. Ask his wife or kids whom he beat up while he was drunk. Ask the wife and children who are suffering terrible heartbreak and pain from the adulterous affair their father had with another woman. Yet the amazing thing is we keep doing these same wrong things over and over

extreme feelings of physical pleasure are what we want and need to feel satisfied. So even though we already know from our own experience that the pleasure doesn’t last and satisfy, we keep going back for more. We’re almost like the dog that keeps chasing its tail. But there’s a reason why we can’t be satisfied just from physical pleasures. It’s simply not possible! We are Jhan Tiafau Hurst not made or designed that again. These same things way. that keep hurting ourselves We humans are not able to be permanently satisfied and the ones we love. We keep believing the with only fun experiences See hurst, page A11 lie and illusion that these

The CYNOSURE

Cris Diaz

One could not blame if the business sector toys suspicion on the motive of the city government’s “questionable” tax collection. There were insinuations that the “environmental fees” could be another source of corruption. After all, who will benefit the environmental fees when it is no longer allowed? Of course, its collection would no longer be included as part of the city government funds. Candidly, when the environmental fees were revoked, it becomes “illegal” to collect environmental fees anymore. Of course, somebody out there in the City Hall would be benefiting the collected fees. For all intent and purposes, the illegal collection of the environmental fees already See diaz, page A11

Don’t panic

Juvy Sarraga

GOD blesses us with provisions daily, whether we recognize them or not. Sometimes the provisions God gives us dry up. Maybe a car breaks down, a job is lost, or a tree falls on your house. The important thing to remember is to not panic. God will make a new way. This is not the time to question God’s goodness, because the brook

dried up. It is the time to trust that God will show you His love for you by preparing a new source of provision. Reflection from 1Kings 17:7 “But after a while the brook dried up, for there was no rainfall anywhere in the land.”

Community Comes Together to Safeguard Welfare of Children Mothers calmly look after their children playing with other students, while waiting for classes to resume in the daycare center at Brgy. Punta, Pilar, Surigao del Norte. This was not the case a year ago. Not when the road outside of the day care center used to be so dangerous. Jean E. Cordita calls along her students for the resumption of classes. As her students run up the ramp, Jean could not hide her smile seeing the children feeling very safe and happy. The Sea Water Rise Di-

Dugang pa diha ang dagat nga moabot diha sa dalan labi na ug high tide (We used to be so nervous of the safety of our students when our road was still in very bad condition. There were a lot of potholes and sharp rocks that posted danger to our kids. Parents were

in constant monitoring of their children fearing for the safety of their kids. Add to that the sea water reaching the vicinity outside when the sea tide is high),” Ms. Jean said. Parents used to complain to the Barangay Local Government Unit (BLGU) about the matter. There have already been several cases where day care center students got injured after slipping or falling down on the rocky path outside their school. But with the meager allocation for road and infrastructure improvement of the BLGU and with several priority projects, parents and residents could Ms. Jean Cordita spiritedly demonstrates to the participants of the Byaheng Pagbabago - DSWD Caraga Media Tour last December 9, 2015, how the Department’s Supplemental Feeding Program (SFP) is being conducted. The SFP, the Pantawid Pamilya, and Sustainable Livelihood Program are just among the few programs and services of DSWD, together with Kalahi-CIDSS, being enjoyed by the people of Punta, Pilar, Surigao del Norte.

“Dako gayud ang kalipay sa katawhan sa Punta sa pagkakompleto sa among dalan. Dili na siya gubaon, dili na delikado. Ang mga bata pwede na magdula-dula sa gawas sa skwelahan. Isip teacher sa day care, malipayon ko nga safe na kayo akong mga studyante (The people of Punta are very happy with the concreting of our road. It is no longer dangerous and damaged. The kids can now play within the area. As a teacher, I am very happy that my students are now safe).”

Daycare students of Punta, Pilar, Surigao del Norte are benefitting the most of the Kalahi-CIDSS road concreting project worked on by the community. This means safer route for the children to take to and from their daycare center.

Questioning the foundations of life and the meaning of its end. Promoting peace in Mindanao. Exposing a well-entrenched corruption. Struggling with reality and fantasy. Defying conventions and cultural prejudices. These elements have converged, drawing together the captivating carte du jour of digital short films, in the eighth year of Cinemagis - Northern Mindanao’s Digital Short Film Festival under the banner of Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts (XCCA) of Xavier University. XCCA director Hobart Savior is pleased with the steadfast development of filmmaking in Northern Mindanao through Cinemagis, which serves as a platform for emerging filmmakers to showcase their talents, skills and local stories. “This is an exciting film

festival because we have added a new category this year, the Pi-length Short Films (3 minutes and 14 seconds), and Cinemagis continues to grow in the number of participating filmmakers and its audience reach.” Taking place on January 20-23 at the XU Little Theater and SM Cagayan de Oro Cinema 3, this festival presents three professional entries, ten student films, five Pi-length entries and a film feature “Ang Nerseri” (The Nursery) by Vic Acedillo of Camiguin. Personal conflicts and national issues In t he professiona l category, the entries deal with our vulnerabilities to worldly temptations and our struggles to reconcile with our differences. Set at the brink of an accounting firm’s financial and organizational collapse, “The Barrel” by Orpheus Nery chronicles a member of the elite class who takes

advantage of the follies of economic inequalities until a national scandal exposes their fraudulent practices. “Ang Mga Bulaclac ng Abuquerque” (The Flowers of Abuquerque) by Iligan Citybased professor German Gervacio takes the audience to a family drama traversing through life’s nuances. This is Gervacio’s first foray into short films, being better known for his Palanca Awards, and poems and stories published in various journals. Completing the list of films in the professional category is Cloyd Winstanley’s “Lucid,” about the story of Phillip who grapples between the realms of reality and fantasy. “Phillip is struggling to determine whether he is in the real world or in a lucid dream while reconciling his differences with Jamailah, a half-Maranao with whom he has had an affair,” the movie synopsis reads.

Bonheur leverages ‘SAP Business One’ for Improved Business Efficiency Reduced operating costs and enhanced productivity led to better overall business management Taguig, Philippines — January 20, 2016 —SAP AG (NYSE:SAP) announced that Bonheur Marketing Corp., one of the front-runners in the Philippines that provides distribution capabilities to its partners in the fastmoving-consumer-products industry, integrated the SAP Business One software to address their data management and finance processes needs. SAP Business One is a business management software designed to meet the needs of dynamically growing companies as well as subsidiaries of large enterprises. The solution is available both on premise and in the cloud, providing clients with unparalleled SAP functionality. The implementation was spearheaded by SAP channel partner, DataFront Solutions, Inc. (DFSI), which leverages IT and business consulting to provide advanced solutions to clients across industries. According to Marty Alvarado, Executive Vice President for Bonheur, disparities in report generation as well as inventory costing inaccuracies required them to tap SAP Business One software to gain clarity across their business, and restore confidence in their day-to-day operations. “There were delayed submissions of financial and government mandatory reports prior to the installation of the SAP Business

One solution,” Mr. Alvarado said. “Our in-house system failed to consolidate our data and our reports were prone to human errors, hindering accurate business visibility. We were looking for a solution to consolidate our warehouse data and gain better insight into our delivery process. Now, we are able to realize more accurate, up-to-date data across all our sales, finance and administration reports, which helps us much better in developing and managing the business for future growth.” With the new solution in place, Bonheur is now able to manage every aspect of their business, streamlining their key processes from accounting and customer relationship management (CRM) to supply chain management and purchasing, all of which helped improve their market position by at least ten percent. In addition, Bonheur was also able to boost their sales, accounting, credit and collection, as well as warehouse and HR functions. All this allowed the company to realize at least 20 percent in cost savings, increased efficiency and work productivity, and enabled better time management and a reduction in operating costs. “SAP Business One is now able to help consolidate our warehouse data under one system, helping facilitators gain more insight on the

processes involved within, and outside, the delivery process,” Mr. Alvarado said. “This is the very reason why we tapped SAP as it has the capacity to deliver the business software that our business needed most.” SAP Philippines Managing Director Ryan Poggi said, “SAP has vast global experience in helping businesses from big enterprises to small and medium-sized enterprises run simple. We provide solutions that fits our customers’ day-to-day operations, with an aim of helping them meet their long-term business goals and achieve greater competitiveness, especially in light of a more challenging business environment.” He continued, “Our partnership with Bonheur has helped them gain a competitive advantage over their competitors and we will continue to leverage end-to-end solutions that will drive innovation and automate core processes for our customers like Bonheur, to tackle complexity. This announcement with Bonheur underscores our unique capabilities to support enterprises in the Philippines to run more efficiently.” The Philippine’s fast moving consumer goods spending, according to Kantar Worldpanel, remains stable at -1.8 percent yearon-year from June 2013 to June of last year.

What that accident is is what audiences have to watch out for. “Relentlessly traumatized,” the film “Silid” by Karyl Jill Gonzales, an accountancy student at XU, follows the story of a young woman who is terrified of an unidentified man lurking near her house.

Aggie dept to start cloud seeding ops in Region 12

Editorial: e-mail: mindanaodailynews@gmail.com • Advertising: e-mail: mindanaodaily.ads@gmail.com Contact: 0917-7121424, 0947-8935776

GENERAL Santos City-The Department of Agriculture (DA) in Region 12 will start its planned cloud seeding operations on Wednesday as it moves to mitigate the worsening impact of the continuing dry spell on farm areas in various parts of the region. Zaldy Boloron, DA-12’s regional technical director for operations, said Tuesday the move was based on the results of the final assessment conducted by the agency and personnel from the Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM) central office.

He said the cloud seeding operations will focus on localities with standing crops that have already been showing signs of wilting due to the intense dry weather, which is triggered by the prevailing El Niño Phenomenon. The official cited palay and corn areas in portions of the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat and Sarangani. “The cloud seeding will start tomorrow (Wednesday) and will continue until March,” Boloron said in a radio interview. Cloud seeding is the

process of manually spreading either dry ice or salt into the upper part of the clouds to help stimulate the precipitation process and form rain. The DA central office had identified cloud seeding as among the immediate counter measures to mitigate the impact of the El Niño, which was predicted to last until June. Boloron said they have commissioned an aircraft form the Philippine Air Force for the cloud seeding, which will be done on a daily basis, depending on the cloud formation.

He said DA-12 and the BSWM have dispatched personnel within the target areas to act as cloud spotters. The official said they have allotted an initial P6 million for the cloud seeding operations, which costs P45,000 to P50,000 per sortie or flight. “We have set one to two sorties per day, depending on the weather and cloud formations in the target areas,” he said. As of Tuesday, Boloron said their monitoring showed that vast tracts of palay and corn areas in

the region were already affected by the dry spell as well as the emergence of pests like rodents and army worms. But he said they have not yet received any report on damages as a direct result of the dr y spell, which already affected around 7,000 hectares of farmlands in South Cotabato. “There are crops that are already showing signs of wilting and these will be the focus of our cloud seeding operations,” he said. As to the infestations, he said local agriculture

offices have reported occurrences of army worm attacks but there have been no significant damages so far. The rat infestations are currently worsening in parts of South Cotabato and North Cotabato but noted that the agency’s Regional Crop Protection Center (RCPC) has been working to address the problem, he said. Boloron said the RCPC has dispatched technical teams, and distributed rodenticides and insecticides to help combat the infestations. (MindaNews)

GENERAL Luna, Siargao Island--As he is wont to do, triathlete-lawyer Ingemar “Pinoy Aquman” Macarine did another first on Sunday: swim the treacherous waters from Sumilom Island to Surigao City. Bucking strong currents, Macarine crossed Surigao Strait from Sumilom Island of Barangay Lipata to Baran-

tourism in Surigao. Edwin Dela Cruz, who served as a navigator of Macarine said the lawyer has improved his speed compared to his previous swims. Macarine, who hails from Placer, Surigao del Norte said the swim was difficult as he encountered thousands of jelly fish. On Jan. 1 this year, Ma-

carine ranked 3rd on the annual “Man of the Year” Award by World Open Water Swimming Association. The former varsity swimmer of Silliman University also received the “Hero of the Year Award” from World Wide Fund for Nature. Just like in his previous open water marathons, Macarine followed the Marathon

Swimming Federation Rules and performed solo swimming without floating aid or help from any human or sea vessel. Also last Sunday, triathletes from Surigao City swam from General Luna to Guyam Island and Guyam to Daku Island for a total distance of 5.6 kilometers. It was the second time

that a group from TRISUR, a triathlon team from Surigao, swam the area. The group included triathlete-lawyer John Cubillan, swimming coach Ernesto Ecleo, chef Bren Fuentes, swimming athlete Drych Ecleo, businesswoman Hanna Mae Laurente-Cubillan and MindaNews correspondent Roel Catoto. (MindaNews)

Why Filipino’s needs the K-12 program? By Roy H. Lumban Lapasan NHS Teacher – I

One of the issues and concerns of our educational system today is the continuing critics and debate of the enhancement of the K-12 program. Do we need to change the curriculum? Why Filipino’s needs the K-12 program? These are few of the questions commonly raised, which I believe there’s a need of explanation for better understanding. Our country is undergoing a major overhaul of change to come up with a quality education that is in line with the educational system worldwide. Nelson Mandela stressed out the importance of education where he believed in “Education as the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world”. In the Philippine setting, education remains a top priority. Our present administration responds to the needs to uplift our educational system to become more globally competitive. That is why President Aquino initiates to push the implementation of the “Enhanced K to 12 Basic Education Program.” The commitment of aiming quality education is anchored in our Philippine Constitution Article XIV Sec. 1. Where; The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels, and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all. That is why, there is a need to embrace change in our educational system for basic and secondary education since it is widely adopted around the world. In fact, “We are the last country in Asia and one of only three countries in the world with a 10-year pre-university program” (source: SEAMEO Innotech 2011). Despite the issues behind this reform in our educational system today, I believed that the K-12 program by the Department of Education is designed for global competitiveness. The 12-year curriculum is shaping the future of our Filipino students equipped to join overseas universities at the undergraduate level. “According to our President Aquino, the K-12

program will pave the way for an ever brighter future for young Filipinos by equipping them with basic education up to international standards.” With the K-12 program, the students are geared to become more productive citizens equipped with the essential competencies and skills for both lifelong learnings for sustainable development in our country and our economy. According to Isagani Cruz (2010) in one of his columns in a local newspaper, “The “Enhanced K-12 Basic Education Program, students will be able to get sufficient instructional time to do subject- related tasks which make them more prepared and well- trained in that subject area. It also produces more skilled and competent labor force, thus adding up to the nation’s manpower. And lastly, Filipino graduates will be automatically recognized as professionals abroad because we are following the international education standard as practiced by all nations”. To deliver justice in the implementation of our new curriculum, the teachers must be equipped with the readiness with regards to the strategies and approaches in delivering quality education to our new curriculum. Through a series of training, workshop and seminars, it will sharpen the basic framework and understanding of the new curriculum. That is why teachers in both private and public schools must have been going through a nationwide series of training and workshops. I learned that as a concerned citizen in this country, our role to address these issues is showing our support in our government that is the enhanced K-12 program. Education plays an integral part of national development, and to realize this, it will start from within us. That is, to understand the positive side of the K-12 program. Education is everybody’s business, and our role is our commitment to strengthen our basic education program. I realized that we can make it if we believed we can do it.

Prospect of a US military stn in CDO divides local officials By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

station since the presence of the military forces would perk the local economy. Former City Mayor Vicente Emano has hinted the relocation of the current location of the City Hall to a much wider area that could be transformed into a “local government center.”

Emano has pushed for the relocation of the present site of the City Hall complex because the area is prone to flooding every time the Cagayan De Oro River swells. The three officials, Rodriguez, Emano, and Moreno are locked in a three-cor-

nered mayoral fight in the scheduled midterm local elections in May this year. The Lumbia airport is currently home to the Philippine Air Force (PAF) Tactical Operation Group in Northern Mindanao. The city government owns the airport.

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Two top local officials have expressed opposing views on the prospect of allowing a United States army station to operate in this trading hub of Northern Mindanao. The two local officials were referring to the Lumbia Airport here, which commercially ceased to operate after the Laguindingan Airport in Misamis Oriental opened on June 2013. “I would not allow a US military station in Lumbia Airport,” Rufus Rodriguez, of Cagayan De Oro, told the Philippines News Agency. Rodriguez said that the 400-hectare Lumbia airport has been identified as the city’s new local government center where the offices of the city government would be relocated in the future. City Mayor Oscar Moreno said in a radio interview Rep. Rufus B.

Marawi City mayor assures protection of NGCP towers MARAWI City, Lanao del Sur--Mayor Sultan Fajad Salic has assured the safety and protection of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines’ (NGCP) transmission towers within the territorial jurisdiction of this city. Salic made the assurance

after unidentified people have bombed on Monday the Tower No. 50 of the NGCP located in Barangay Pantar, Bubong, Lanao del Sur. Fortunately, the transmission tower did not collapse during the explosion. Salic said he has tasked

the barangay chairmen of this city’s 96 barangays to help protect all the NGCP towers in their respective communities. “We are closely monitoring the towers to ensure nothing will happen to the structures,” he added. Monday’s incident was

the second tower that was bombed this year. The two incidents occurred five days apart. The first incident was last January 13 when NGCP’s Tower No. 26 was toppled down by an improvised bomb in Pagalungan, Maguindanao. (PNA)

To win in the competitive industry, companies need to utilize a business platform that can help them run their business better, whilst eliminating business complexity. Bonheur started as a distributor of Philip Morris for the South NCR and Southern Tagalog. In just a short span of time, the company has expanded its coverage to Bicol, making it to the top 200 corporations in the country. “We’ve been in the distribution business for over 25 years now and we are glad that we chose to partner with SAP for the next leg of our journey.

from page A7 of Mind” by Harold Villegas, a Development Communication student at XU. “Senyas” by Kenneth M Sabijon tells the story of Kagayanons ravaged by the wrath of TS Sendong in 2011. Aside from being an amateur film director, Business Administration student Sabijon is also a resident actor of The Xavier Stage. Completing the roster of student films for the 8th installment of Cinemagis is “Casting Couch,” directed by The Xavier Film Society’s Gari Jamero and Rajesh Pandey. The story trails the experience of Max, an aspiring actor, as he is interviewed by a film crew for a “lucrative yet possibly controversial film project.” With its provocative undertones, “Casting Couch” will only be shown at the XU Little Theater as part of the Cinemulat Films, including “Senyas.” New category The Cinemagis festival introduces a new category this year, the Pi Short Films, for entries that are a maximum of 3 minutes and 14 seconds long. The main challenge for the filmmakers was to create a Pi short film that exemplified an Ignatian value (ie magis, cura personalis or care for others, humility, conscience, pursuit of truth, among others) or related to Pope Francis’ encyclical, the “Laudato Si.” From stories on misinterpretations and inspired by true events, this year’s five Pi films are “Sunset” by Jasmine Limas, “Flashback Door” by Mary Ann Warguez, “Sayaw” by Joma Corrales, “Hapi” by Kenneth Sabijon and “Kino” by Mac Kianro Naki Calo. Cinemagis perks This year’s Cinemagis features “Ang Nerseri” by Vic Acedillo Jr, awarded Best Screenplay and one of the finalists for Best Film in the 2009 Cinemalaya Film Festival, an annual competition of independent films and cinematic works of Filipino filmmakers and aspirants. According to its synopsis, the film “tells the story of Cocoy, a 12-year-old boy who is given the monumental task of taking care of his older siblings while his mother is away in a remote province seeking money to pay for the expensive hospital bills of her three mentally sick children. Cocoy’s struggle in managing his personal, school and home life is a nerve-racking

challenge. In the end, he faces truth and life head-on as he fights for his own sanity.” Aside from “Ang Nerseri,” Cinemagis 8 will feature the multi-awarded short films of Joe Bacus (“End of War,” “Happy Fiesta” and “Ika-III Putahi”) and Clark Cabantan’s “Soulmates” at XULT. Festival for a cause Admission to the screening venues only requires a combination of school supplies and canned goods or noodle packs, which will be donated to partner communities of XU NSTP and STREAMS Pathways to Higher Education. In addition to the regular screening, the festival offers a free film analysis workshop for film enthusiasts on January 23 at the XULT and an interaction with the featured filmmaker. The announcement of nominees will be held on January 20, and the winners from the student, pi and professional categories will be declared during the awards night on January 23 at SM City Event Center. Cinemagis ser ves as a springboard for filmmakers from Region 10 to showcase their stories. Since its inception in 2009, a number of films have already gone on to national independent film festivals and even to the international stage.

from page A5 for repair. But there is a big problem with the repair since the sea water finds its way to the area),” Chair Noguerraza said. A New Hope In 2014, the community lobbied the matter to the Municipal LGU. With the support of the MLGU and Provincial LGU, an allocation to dump gravel in the vicinity where sea water enters or reaches the road was approved. The sea water problem was now resolved, but the road condition was still a problem. Then, the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS) National Community-Driven Development (NCDDP) 1st cycle in 2014 came. Punta is an old implementer of the program, dating back its first engagement to 2006. The community knew the program might be the solution to the problem. When the program started, the community turned to an old and effective volunteer to lead them. In a barangay assembly, the community unanimously chose Jean as Barangay SubProject Management Committee (BSPMC) chairperson. “Ako gyud and gipili sa asembliya nga ma-chairman, siguro kay dugay-dugay napud ko volunteer sa Kalahi. Pero ang uban miingon nga ako ang ilang gipili aron masiguro nga ang dalan sa may day care ang mauna ug prioritize nga mapondohan (The assembly chose me as chairman maybe because I have been volunteering for Kalahi-CIDSS for quite some time now. But there were some who said that they chose me to ensure that the road beside the day care center will be prioritized for funding),” Jean said. Ms. Jean says that the community really wants the road fixed since majority of the people in the area have children going to the day care center. There are also quite a number of households around the area, and add to that, the community has a solar dryer (acquired through Kalahi-

CIDSS in 2012) just beside the day care center that they seldom use recently because of the road condition that allows sea water to reach inland. “Ug kana ang masulbad nga problema, dakong tabang sa katawhan sa barangay labi na sa mga bata ug ilang ginikanan. Maayo nalang kay ang Kalahi-CIDSS nga programa sa goberno naghatag ug power sa amo nga mga common nga tawo magdesisyon para sa among mga problema (By fixing the road around the area, a lot of people would benefit, especially the children and their parents. Good thing Kalahi-CIDSS, though a government program, gives power to the people in solving our own problems),” Jean said. The community, with the support of the BLGU and the MLGU was able to complete their 175 linear meters road concreting that covers the vicinity around the day care center. The Resolution “Dako gayud ang kalipay sa katawhan sa Punta sa pagkakompleto sa among dalan. Dili na siya gubaon, dili na delikado. Ang mga bata pwede na magdula-dula sa gawas sa skwelahan. Isip teacher sa day care, malipayon ko nga safe na kayo akong mga studyante (The people of Punta are very happy with the concreting of our road. It is no longer dangerous and damaged. The kids can now play within the area. As a teacher, I am very happy that my students are now safe),” Jean said. Indeed, the community is reaping the benefits of KalahiCIDSS. A very important factor to this is the community’s efforts in uniting and dealing with their problems. Through the program, the community now has a voice - a choice on how to solve their problems, and decide on how they ought to solve their problems. “Mapasalamaton kayo kami sa Kalahi-CIDSS. Kani lang nga area, dako kayo ug tabang ang Kalahi. Kining day care, funded ni sa Kalahi-CIDSS ug AUSAid (DFAT), naa pay sea wall ug solar dryer. Murag barangay Kalahi-CIDSS na ning Punta tungod sa tabang sa Kalahi kanamo (We are very thankful to Kalahi-CIDSS. In this barangay alone, KalahiCIDSS has really helped the community. This day care center, it is funded by KalahiCIDSS and AUSAid (DFAT), and we also have sea wall and solar dryer from the program. I guess people can say that Brgy. Punta can easily be called Brgy. Kalahi-CIDSS because of the benefits we had with the program),” Chair Noguerraza said. Jean is very thankful of the blessings Brgy. Punta has received from Kalahi-CIDSS. She is very happy to be part of a government program that is legitimate of addressing the needs of the people. “Dako akong kalipay sa presensya sa programa dinhi sa amo. Proud ko nga nahimo kong parte niini, dakong tabang kini kanako kay nagdevelop ni sa akong self-confidence. Sa mga komunidad nga adunay Kalahi-CIDSS, higugma-a ninyo ang programa; trabaho kamo sa kinasing-kasing kay dako kayo ug matabang ni sa inyong komunidad (I am happy and proud that I am part of Kalahi-CIDSS. It has helped both the community and myself. Through KalahiCIDSS, I was able to improve my self-confidence. For those who are implementing KalahiCIDSS, love the program. Work

with all your heart because the program will really help your community),” Jean concluded.

Earlier, the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF) and the Regional Association of Treasurers and Assessors, Inc. (REGATA), all of Northern Mindanao, awarded Atty. Julio T.

The award--signed by BLGF-10 Acting Regional Director Gilbert B. Gumabay, and Atty.

Under Mayor Uy, tax collectors managed to collect a whopping P125,366,763 making the town of Villanueva the 2nd Top Grosser of Northern Mindanao under the municipal category. “In recognition of the municipal’s fiscal performance for generating P125,366,763 in absolute amount from all combined local revenue sources such as real property tax, business tax, fees and charges and, receipts from economic enterprises,” part of the citation reads.

from page A1 power in the elections…magkikita ‘yung Comelec at NGCP. We are reaching out to them and hopefully we can meet with them sometime this week,” he said in a press briefing. Jimenez noted that they want an assurance that power will be available during the elections since the situation will be intimidating if the polling precincts have no electricity especially during the night. “If the elections run until the later hours…in the past you’ve noticed how we extended voting hours up to 7 pm and it gets really dark out there when there’s no other source of light. It can get really intimidating. Its better if the power situation is clarified this early. NGCP naman I think is willing to work with us on that,” he explained. At the same time, the poll body official said that they are looking at the effects of the bombings in the areas where the unfortunately incidents occurred. “Right now we are still looking at just the effect of the bombing in that area in the South. Again there will probably be a much wider environmental analysis of the security situation especially in light of these recent events... that’s when we will see if there are other places that are more or less vulnerable than others,” Jimenez said. On the other hand, he noted that they are not worried on the possible effects of power shortage on the voting counting machine (VCMs) as the latter has batteries and they will have standby generator sets.

“Our VCM has batteries that could last 15 to 16 hours that’s what I’ve been told. In 2013 it was 12 hours but the new VCM unless I’m very much mistaken its about 14 to 15 hours,” he said. Jimenez added, “Gensets, thats always part of plan. Nag poprovide kami ng genset. Again the issue again is not with the elections per se it’s with the environment of the elections. It becomes a little complicated.” It was reported that two transmission towers of the NGCP in Lanao del Sur and Cotabato were destroyed in the last couple of days. Authorities are investigating the bombing incidents. (PNA)

from page A1 died during the shootout. They were identified as a certain Jomar Salungon and Arial Ucat, all residents of Balingasag town in Misamis Oriental. An informant, said the police, reported the presence of armed men in zone 11 in Barangay Sta. Cruz. When the police went to the area, the suspects started shooting them, thus ensuing a brief exchanged of gunfires. Salungon, said the police had a string of criminal cases that include carnapping, physical injuries, and grave threats pending before the Balingasag police station. Police said the Scene of the Crime Operatives (Soco) recovered from the crime scene .38 revolver, 4 empty slugs of bullets, 1 fragmentation grenade, bonnet, a chain cutter, and a motorcycle. The police learned that the recovered motorcycle at the crime scene was stolen in Malaybalay City on December 21, 2015 based on police record. The bodies of the slain two suspected carnappers were brought to their respective residences in Balingasag town after they were subjected to paraffin tests.

from page A4 “indispensable cooperation”, and the second is by “inducement”. “Indispensable cooperation” means that the accused committed previous or contemporaneous acts that allowed the crime to happen even when he did not participate in the killing, like giving orders that eventually led to the killing or the crime. “Inducement” means, on the other hand, the promise of a reward, like money or some other consideration, to the actual killer so he will carry out the crime. The one who made the promise is as guilty as the person who did the killing. I believe that Enrile, being one of the brightest lawyers in the country, knows that Aquino can fall under anyone of these two classifications of a person who may not have pulled the trigger, as it were, and yet is as guilty of the offense as the gunman. -oooGENUINE FAITH, VICTORY VS.

from page A4 constitutes corruption. This is a ground for graft and corruption charges to whoever is allowing it wittingly or unwittingly. Talking about corruption, the business sector could file cases against the City Hall officials for “unauthorized” business tax collection, too. Thus, if it could be proven that the city government has intentionally violated the approved the Cagayan De Oro City 2015 Revenue Tax Code. Nonetheless, it is incumbent upon the City Council to prove about whether the City Treasurer has intentionally violated the city’s 2015 Tax Code. Vice Mayor Ian Acenas, as chair of the City Council, together with Councilor Prexy Elipe, chair of the council committee on finance, ways and means, should also conduct a probe on these serious allegations. An investigation into these accusations should be called in order to clear the suspicions of the business sector. No matter what the intention is, unless proven, it is unfair to accuse and suspect the City Treasurer of violating the 2015 Tax Code. Our intention here is to set the record straight and clear the doubts against the way the city government levies the taxpayers. -0- Send comments/reactions: crisguardian@yahoo.com

from page A4 and physical pleasures. You and I were made for much more than “just to have a little fun before we die!” God made us spiritual beings like Him, so the only way we can be fully satisfied and happy is by having a daily, close personal relationship with our Maker. Then, we can start living His successful and satisfying way. So today, won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for living your own way? Then ask Him to start changing your heart and lifestyle. He’s the only One Who can finally fill your life with the pleasure and peace of mind you’ve been looking for. Jesus will give you real satisfaction that lasts, not just for a day or a night, but for the rest of your life. Just Think a Minute.
