FORMER Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares slammed the economic managers blocking the P2,000 Social Security System (SSS) pension increase for saying that the government should not subsidize the pension for senior citizens during yesterday’s protest action. “These economic managers actually allocated billions in the current budget for big private corporations,” said Colmenares in a press statement. Last year’s budget, he said contained subsidies for rich corporations citing the P30 billion Risk See GROUP, page A7

DTI urges businessmen to renew business name early TRADE and Industry Development Specialist Jill Marie Tadlas yesterday said some 73 new business name registrants applied through the Negosyo Center of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Region 10 alone from January 3 and 4 this year. This initial volume of business name applicants says it all: it is not advisable to submit requirements on the last minute, the trade department said in a press statement. On one hand, DTI-10 Consumer Welfare Division Chief and Lawyer Fel Lester Brillantes urged “businessmen to renew their Business Name Registration early at DTI to avoid getting caught in the rush to beat the January 20 deadline set by local government units for the renewal of Business Permits.” The trade department’s business name registration is one of the requirements needed by business owners to complete their business permit. Entrepreneurs also need not to worry about long queues days before the deadline. Brillantes assured business owners that the “renewal of DTI Business Names can now be acquired in a span of only thirty minutes.” New business name applicants need to submit duly accomplished application form and to present one (1) valid government-issued Identification card (ID) complete with the registrant’s name, photo and signature. Varied fees also apply to different categories. For Barangay level, registrants need to pay 200 pesos; 500 pesos for City/ Municipality level; 1,000 pesos for Regional level; and 2,000 pesos for businesses which extends up to the national level. Applicants also need to pay 15 pesos for the documentary stamp. press release

PH Embassy in Berlin registers 100th overseas voter

THE Department of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday said the Philippine Embassy in Berlin had just registered its 100th overseas voter. Janissa Ubagan, who comes from Initao, Misamis Oriental, registered together with her mother Virgie Kuch on December

28, 2016. The registration period for new voters started on December 1, 2016 and will continue until October 31, 2018. The Embassy is encouraging all Filipino citizens, who will be 18 years or older by May 13, 2019 and who have not yet registered

for voting abroad to register. Filipinos who have registered as voters in the Philippines and are now residing in Germany are also encouraged to go to the Embassy so they can be certified as overseas voters. This will allow them to cast their vote for the 2019 National

Senatorial/Party-List Elections. Philippine Ambassador to Germany Melita Sta. Maria-Thomeczek encouraged all Filipino organizations in Germany to spread the news about the ongoing voter registration campaign to ensure that there will be a high Filipino voter turnout in Germany.

“We aspire to register close to 4,000 Filipino voters during this 22-month registration period,” Ambassador Thomeczek said. Any query about the ongoing registration may be sent to the Philippine Embassy by email at info@philippine-embassy.de. philippine news agency

Pinoy Aquaman to cross Camiguin Channel By JORIE VALCORZA of PIA-10

MAMBAJAO, Camiguin--Renowned marathon swimmer lawyer Ingemar Macarine will lead local swimmers here in crossing the Camiguin Channel on January 7. The challenge will start in Barangay Liong, Guinsiliban, Camiguin to Balingoan, Misamis Oriental with an estimated distance of about 6.8 kilometers, and may take 2 hours and 26 minutes to cross. Macarine did his first successful channel crossing in Basul Island to Mainland Surigao City with a 4.8 kilometers lap, three years ago. This Saturday’s attempt will be his 25th channel to cross as a way of promoting awareness for cleaner seas. Mambajao Local Government Unit Sports Coordinator Gilbert Grado said the event is a part of the 165th Foundation Day celebration of Camiguin which likewise seeks to promote tourism.

DAVAO City––About 20 percent of the 182 barangays in Davao City are non-compliant with the disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) plans, Central 911 chief Emmanuel Jaldon said. The Central 911 chief told reporters in an interview that non-compliance

with the DRRM could be blamed on the “ignorance of the law or plain laziness” of the barangay officials to implement the DRRM plans despite their intensified campaign on disaster preparedness. “There are barangays who do not give importance to disaster risk reduction and management because the barangay officials themselves are not giving that much [interest],” Jaldon said. He said Central 911 has been regularly conducting trainings to all barangays to encourage officials to put up DRR measures such as the creation of a Barangay

Disaster Risk Reduction Committee (BDRRMC) as well as the early warning signage and directional signs to evacuation centers, most especially in coastal and landslide prone areas. Jaldon lamented that some of the participants attended the training just for “compliance.” Under Section 12.6.1 of Republic Act (RA) 10121, or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010, the provincial, city and municipal DRRMOs or Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offices are tasked to “design, program, and coordinate disaster risk

reduction and management activities consistent with the National Council’s standards and guidelines.” Section 21 also states that not less than “5 percent of the estimated revenue from regular sources shall be set aside as the local disaster reduction and management fund (LDRRMF) to support disaster risk management activities such as, but not limited to, pre-disaster preparedness programs including training, purchasing lifesaving rescue equipment, supplies and medicines, for post-disaster activities, and for the payment of premiums See PLANS, page A7

YOU want to see the structure of intelligence of some of our lawmakers? At least more than two of them were disgusted of report where a dog was allegedly killed while filming a movie. And they wanted a Senate probe on the matter when that could be appropriately handled by the police. The movie “Oro” has already been shown in downtown theaters and had to be stopped because of the dogfight in the senate. Well, if this is not the case of dog eats dog, then I don’t know what is it. These intelligent lawbreakers, sorry, I mean lawmakers were worried about a dog killed for the movie, but never gave anything about the more than 6,000 suspected drug dealers, pushers, addicts who were killed without due process of law. While we should love dogs and other animals, I think we must give priority to human lives. And what is this I heard that lawmakers got P5-billion pesos each for this year’s budget? And some of them do nothing but womanizing and drinking Fundador and Johnny Walker? Are we already existing in the

world of dogs? Have we lost our sense of decency and embraced indecency. If this is true, some of our lawmakers really deserve to face a firing squad or to the time of Billy the Kid “hanging” with heads down. I heard someone saying the OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) should be home and no one will be allowed to work abroad. So they become NJW (no job workers) This is poor thinking of people who are dull. They will get back to join the long list of jobless people. At least working abroad will help the country earns revenue. Another thing it is unconstitutional for a government to hold the freedom of movement of its citizens. The first week of January is lively in Quiapo, Manila. There is a nightly show at Plaza Miranda staged by famous celebrities and they are free of charge. It is during the novena of the Black Nazarene, whose fiesta is celebrated on January 9. The university where I studied was not far from Quiapo and when I get off from classes at 8:30 in the evening I go straight to Plaza Miranda to get a ride to Ermita where

I lived. Being hungry and no one to prepare dinner for me, I eat two pieces of balut eggs and a bottle of sarsi drink while watching movie stars performing on stage. The attack of the provincial jail in Kidapawan, North Cotabato by rebels should not be treated lightly. A good number had been killed in the ensuing battle. l warn residents in nearby areas such as those in Pikit, Kibawi, Bukidnon and others to be on alert for the escapees. Be ready to report to the police the presence of strangers in your place. They could be the inmates. We must support our government all the time on its efforts to maintain peace and order. I used to pass Kidapawan in my trips to Cotabato City some years ago via Kibawi, Bukidnon and it was a peaceful town. Whenever possible, I urge young, jobless college graduates to get out of the country and search for jobs in foreign lands. Our country is beautiful, no problem about that, but the problem is unemployment. There will be 106 million Filipinos at the end of this year and we can imagine where to get

Viewed from this perspective, the Kidapawan City attack should cause great fear and grave concern among police and security officials of the Philippines. It is as if the attackers are saying other groups could come into the country and sow terror and commit crimes with impunity. This attack could be a signal and some sort of a tip that despite the security arrangements already in place, the Philippines remains vulnerable to similar lawless actions. Coming at the heels of the bombing of a night market in Davao City, the Kidapawan City daring attack was in fact an open invitation for more violence.

You may be a top-notch in the Philippines and holds a master’s degree, but when you look for a job in the USA, most likely you end up in the janitorial level. The standard of education in the United States is very high. Many confident college graduates in the Philippines had to return to college to study more. Killings here and here are still the top news from the Philippines. I lost the score, but I am sure from 6,000, it is climbing every day.

arrest or other retaliatory action against those who carried out the jail attack, if it wants to prevent similar adventurism in the future. Its inability to hold the perpetrators liable for their misdeeds will only be construed as a further sign of weakness against crime and terrorism. -oooWHO WAS TRULY BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY? The confirmation that it was God Himself, in His manifestation as a human being with the Name of Jesus, who was born in the first Christmas day on earth is indicated by these verses in Matthew 1:22-23: “ All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: ‘The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel’ (which means `God with us’). There should therefore be no confusion at all as to who was born on Christmas day, so to speak. By the power of God, He Himself came down from heaven, in human likeness and form, in flesh and blood, See SHAME, page A7

SOME of the challenges we face on life may be very difficult ones, but God never allows more to come upon us than we can bear. In fact, with every temptation, He always provides a way out. The scripture not only says He provides a way out, but He gives us the strength to bear up under trials with patience. That means we can go through them with a good attitude! Maintaining a good attitude in the midst of something unpleasant is the key to victory, and it enables us to enjoy the journey. Attitude is everything.

DO168 to worsen rather than end contractualization: KMU Friday, January 6, 2017

n “We cannot accept the continued

legalization of contractualization and proliferation of agencies.” By MARYA SALAMAT Bulatlat.com

Workers are increasingly becoming disappointed with President Duterte’s still unrealized promises. “Six months is more than enough time for the Duterte administration to have implemented some changes,” said Jerome Adonis, KMU Secretary General. But until today, contractualization, which President Duterte promised to end, is still happening all over the country and even growing in scale. And it doesn’t seem

about to end given the new contractualization policy drafted by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), according to various workers’ groups. In a press conference Wednesday (January 4) in Quezon City, leaders of national labor center Kilusang Mayo Uno condemned the newly minted draft policy on contractualization submitted last week to the president by the Labor Department. The new policy called Department Order no. 168 (DO168) features provisions that, the KMU said, will Like firecrackers about to explode, this is how the KMU federation leaders depict the workers’ brewing anger at the delay in banning contractualization.

never end but only worsen the exploitative employment setup. They still have to get a copy of the said contractualization policy. There is none yet as of this writing on the website of DOLE. “We have written labor officials for a copy, but we still haven’t got a copy of DO 168,” said Lito Fadriquelan, president of Ilaw-Buklod ng Manggagawa, a federation allied with KMU. The labor leaders asked the president to reject the said new contractualization policy and instead push Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III to implement the president’s marching orders on ending contractualization. KMU leaders urge workers to let their voices be heard until the DOLE junk DO168. Contractualization to (Bulatlat.com)

worsen under DO168 – KMU Based on media reports, the changes in the old contractualization policy included raising the required seed capital of manpower agencies from P3million to P5 million ($60,472 to $100,786); imposing a fine on agencies found violating the DO; regularizing the workers but at the same time saying their employeremployee relationship is with the agency and not with the principal; allowing contractuals to unionize and negotiate a collective bargaining agreement. It also directs agencies to provide support to workers if their contract is not renewed and they failed to find another job in three months.

But, the KMU leaders said, these are just sugar coating to the problem of continued contractualization. “All these do not reflect the workers’ unified calls to ending contractualization; at best these are just sugar coating for an even worse implementation of contractualization,” they said. The main problem with the new contractualization policy stems from the continued legality of manpower agencies and the legalization of employers’ claims denying the employer-employee relationship between the contractual and the principal. George San Mateo, national president of transport group PISTON, said the DO168 is worse (than DO 18-A) because it not only legitimizes contractualization, it removes the employeremployee relationship between the contractual and the principal. “If workers can be regularized and their rights to form a union can be recognized, why not just regularize them under their principal?” asked Doods Gerodias, leader of Alliance of Democratic Labor Organizations (ADLO), a federation affiliated with the KMU. “Regarding what they’re saying about allowing contractuals to unionize and bargain, to whom will the workers go to ask for a wage hike? Will the service provider negotiate on their behalf with the principal companies?” Gerodias asked. It is not the third-party manpower agencies that profit from the

Adonis explained that in fact, the agencies’ profit comes from the amount that they take out of the workers’ salaries. “They are just another layer of exploiters,” he added. On top of being an instrument in pushing down wages, the manpower agencies facilitate the principal’s escape from its responsibility to the workers, such as ensuring their occupational health and safety, job security, benefits and retirement pay. “We cannot accept the continued legalization of contractualization and proliferation of agencies,” said Gerodias. He said these agencies are aiding principal companies in “killing off the workers’ rights to be regularized and in limiting the benefits the workers can enjoy.” In fact, he said, many labor agencies are dummies of big companies. The new labor policy is not the answer to the workers’ demands to end contractualization once and for all, the KMU concluded. Serving a warning to President Duterte Jerome Adonis of KMU warned that should the president approve the new contractualization policy, then it means he is in agreement with it and is not really serious at fulfilling his promises to workers. If that were the case, “He will soon face also the workers’ growing wrath and protests,” Adonis said. He urged Labor Secretary Bello to stop trying to wash his hands off his “betrayal” of the workers’ united position against contractualization. Adonis said it is not true that the Labor Department has its hands tied by existing laws. If the Labor Secretary can issue a policy legalizing contractualization (as what happened in DO 18-A), then he (or she) can also withdraw it, the KMU said. Doing just that is one of the KMU’s “concrete, doable proposals toward ending contractualization” that they submitted to the Labor Department as soon as Bello took office. The labor center is now

seeking a dialogue with President Duterte. The KMU predicts that the DO168 will result in more and more workers being hired through manpower agencies under the “legalized contractual employment schemes.” These, in turn, will result in more extreme labor exploitation as the DO’s permitted removal of employer-employee relationship “gives capitalists greater freedom to siphon super profits,” Adonis warned. He urged all workers to unite and make their voices heard “until the Labor department junks its anti-worker department order.” On January 6, various workers’ unions are set to hold what they call as “Metrowide Breaktime Protests.” Across Metro Manila, workers will gather to protest outside their workplaces during their break. On January 11, the KMU plans to form a human barricade in front of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) main office in Intramuros, Manila. They called on all Filipino workers to show their outrage against the Labor department’s “betrayal” of their demand for regular jobs. The “Workers are not stupid, they’re just hungry,” said Nenita Gonzaga, KMU Vice President.

Management Fund (RMF). This year’s RMF is pegged at P29 billion. Also in the 2016 budget, about P4.5 billion of the PEZA budget was used to pay for the electricity of private corporations like Texas Instruments and Hanjin. The Financial Assistance/ Subsidy for PEZA is currently at P2.757 billion. These economic managers would gladly use tax payers money for their colleagues in big corporations but not for ordinary senior citizens, Colmenares lamented. “Ang hirap talaga na ang neo-liberal ang framework ng economic managers dahil palaging ang inuuna nila ay ang interes ng mga oligarchs at hindi ng mga mahihirap na mamamayan.Nagmumukha tuloy talagang Neoliberal triad syndicate ang mga economic managers na ito dahil hinaharang ang mga pro-people initiatives na inilalatag at puro pahirap ang ipinapalit tulad ng sa SSS pension hike at excise tax on oil,” said Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate. Subsidy for SSS Lkewise, Colmenares criticized the government for making the SSS members subsidize the operating cost of SSS. He said: “SSS employees and board members are government employees. While government allocates a budget for the salaries of public employees in agencies such as NEDA and DBM, it does not allocate a budget for the operations of SSS, making the poor SSS

Friday, January 6, 2017 members pay for the huge bonuses of SSS officials. For once dapat gobyerno naman ang tumulong sa SSS members.” “The claim of Secretary Benjamin Diokno that Presidents since the time of Marcos did not intervene in increasing the pension of SSS members is not true. President Marcos ordered the increase of SSS pension just before he declared a snap election. President Cory Aquino though EO 28, President Fidel Ramos through EO 14 and President Joseph Estrada, under whom Secretary Diokno was a cabinet member, all intervened in SSS pension increases. President Gloria Arroyo even publicly ordered the SSS pension increase during its 50th Anniversary. Even President Aquino ordered a pension increase in 2011 although he also ordered a contribution increase,” countered Colmenares. Colmenares also defended the SSS for submitting its pension increase resolution to President Rodrigo Duterte. “This attack against the SSS leadership by the economic managers for submitting the pension increase resolution to President Duterte is unjust. The law requires a presidential approval of every pension increase, and SSS was merely following the procedure in the law,” the progressive former solon said. Use of taxpayers’ money On one hand, Diokno on Tuesday said that he won’t recommend the use of taxpayers’ money to fund the proposed P2,000 pension hike of the Social Security System (SSS) pensioners. “Historically, it is not being done. We don’t burden the taxpayers to support a private fund,” Diokno said in a press Palace press briefing. “It is unfair for us to call on everybody to increase pension of a few. Our tax system is such that even the jobless, they pay taxes in the form of value added tax. Why should you burden them to give benefit to a private pension system,” he added. Diokno said the job of looking for the source of P2,000 monthly pension increase should not be given to President Rodrigo Duterte. “To me, it’s unfair to give the problem to him. In fact, it’s unfair for Congress to have passed that law which, as you know, (former) President (Benigno) Aquino vetoed,” Diokno said. “It should not have reached the President’s desk. The Board of Trustees should have exercised leadership,” he added. The DBM official said the SSS Board of Trustees can find solution to fund the proposed pension hike such as increase the collection efficiency. “I understand some corporations have been indebted to SSS. Maybe they could call on them. But you know, when you pass the buck and give it to

the President, that to me, is unfair for the President,” he explained. He said another solution could be to adjust the contribution of the SSS members. “What we are proposing is a contribution adjustment, a higher pay but we are not recommending it right now,” Diokno said. “What we’re recommending is maybe to do it after tax reform because in the tax reform, you get more money in your pockets and therefore you are now in a position to contribute a small amount for the pension of those who are already receiving pension. So that’s our solution,” he added. Diokno said even the late former President Ferdinand Marcos did not touch the SSS considering it is a private pension fund. “You contribute to that fund, and when you retire, you get benefits from that fund,” he said. Last Monday, Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Secretary Andanar said President Duterte is looking for a “win-win solution” without affecting the SSS’ current fund life. According to SSS chairman Amado Valdez, the SSS’s current fund life would be shortened from 2042 to 2031 if even half of the P2,000 will be given beginning January this year.

Matahata Dialawe Arboleda, Ismael Sahak alias “Mael,” and Morhaban Veloso alias “Bugoy.” Recovered from the clash site were two Bushmaster M-16 Armalite rifles, two hand grenades, 24 magazines of M-16 Armalite ammunition, two bullet bandoliers and a brown envelope containing various documents of the group. In a press conference, Sr. Supt. Joseph Semillano, Sarangani police director, said their intelligence operatives initially received information on Wednesday night that Maguid was sighted at the Angel Beach Resort. He said they immediately informed the other units about the report and embarked on an operation. The operation involved elements from the PRO12’s Regional Public Safety Battalion and Regional Intelligence Unit, Sarangani Provincial Police Office, National Intelligence Coordinating Agency and the Army’s 27th Infantry Battalion. “At 10 minutes after midnight, we were able to neutralize Tokboy,” Semillano said. Engr. Arnulfo Flores, the resort’s owner, told radio station Bombo Radyo that Maguid’s group arrived in the area late Wednesday night aboard a red Toyota Wigo sedan with temporary license plate 12190176. Citing accounts from

resort personnel, he said operatives were able to arrest Maguid’s three cohorts upon entering the area. He said Maguid reportedly tried to escape from the area but was cornered near the boundary of a neighboring beach property. Semillano said the suspect initially attempted to draw an Armalite rifle before fleeing. As Maguid was running towards a dark portion of the beach, operatives fired at him, Semillano said. Maguid sustained three gunshot wounds on his body. Suan said they are monitoring the movements of the remaining members of the AKP. “We’re closely monitoring if a new leader of the group will emerge,” he said in a press conference at the PRO-12 headquarters in Barangay Tambler here. Col. Tyne Banas, commanding officer of the Army’s 1002nd Brigade, said the killing of Maguid is a major blow to his group. He said it mainly reduced the capability of the group, which has an estimated 10 to 15 members, as it lost Maguid’s “network and connections.” “It’s possible that the group will just disband,” Banas said. He said their operations have been continuing against the remaining members of the AKP, which he maintained as a “mere ISIS sympathizer” but not recognized by the ISIS. Maguid, who bolted from the Sarangani provincial jail in 2010, is facing at least 15 arrest warrants issued by various local courts since 2008. He is facing multiple counts of murder, attempted murder, frustrated murder, robbery with violence, robbery with homicide, destructive arson and arson, filed at the Regional Trial Court Branches 11 and 38 in Alabel, Sarangani. Authorities tagged Maguid’s group as behind the planting of an improvised explosive in December at a Christmas display in front of the Kiamba municipal hall. Joint operatives seized suspected bomb-making materials at his house in Barangay Daliao in Maasim town in October last year. In August, SAF operatives killed three alleged members of the AKP in an operation in upper Sitio Lebe in Barangay Daliao. Recovered at the site were various high-powered firearms and a black flag bearing an ISIS logo. (MindaNews)

specialized receptors controlling what substances enter and exit the cell. By triggering these channels, capsaicin can send a cancer cell into overdrive, prompting it to self-destruct. By causing cancer cells to die, tumor growth is halted. “In our experiments, a significant reduction in cell

proliferation after capsaicin stimulation was observed,” said Dr. Lea Weber, a member of the scientific group that organized the experiment. “This finding was in accordance with the results of other scientists, who demonstrated a significant decrease in the cell growth rate of MCF-7 breast cancer cells upon capsaicin stimulation.” Unfortunately, it doesn’t mean that cancer can be beaten just by eating more spicy food. Capsaicin does not appear to work as a cancer-killing agent if eaten, inhaled or injected. But researchers say it still has a medicinal potential and can be effective as a pill combined with other drugs to target cancer cells. (PNA/ Sputnik)
