Guv seeks NBI help to identify real pushers By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The local government of Bukidnon has asked the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI-10) in Northern Mindanao to check on the veracity of the testimonies of dozens of self-confessed drug pushers so that the assistance due them are given to the right ones. Gov. Jose Maria Zubiri Jr. said he has sought the assistance of the NBI-10 in the conduct of the verification to ensure that no one can take advantage of the provincial government’s offer of extending P25,000 as livelihood package to suspected retailers of shabu. Zubiri said he has asked a group of experts to identify all the drug personalities in his province and submit the list to him. The list will then be given to the NBI-10, Zubiri said. “I have a list of big-time drug lords and pushers, but See seeks, page A7

DAVAO City -- The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) will launch anew the postal identification card with improved security features following reports that some people are using fake IDs. Elmer Obelidhon, marketing specialist of the PHLpost in Eastern Mindanao said the new postal ID has new security features and can easily be upgraded but can no longer be faked. He said the PHLPost engages in improving the safety features of the ID due to the proliferation of fake IDs used by nefarious

individuals. Obelidhon said their agency is coordinating with the Department of Foreign Affairs to institute changes like making the postal ID as the basic identification document in securing passports and in banking transaction. He bared that one of the requirements as far as PHLpost is concerned is the basic documentation training for area post masters nationwide with the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Philippine National Police (PNP).

“It is to ensure all accompanying documents in applying for postal ID must be genuine,” Obelidhon said. He also stressed that sending individual letters through the postal service has declined due to the influx of technology offered by the worldwide web. However, Obelidhon said that letters from companies to individuals have increased like cellular phone bills and credit card bills. “Our postal service remains relevant and useful to the public despite the influx of modern technology,” he said.

We want to lay a more formidable and durable foundation for the peace talks, particularly with regard the mechanics that would govern a nationwide ceasefire and the release of political prisoners,” Bello said.

Now, we can meet formally with other government officials to ensure that the talks will proceed smoothly,” Braganza explained. Both the GPH (Government of the Philippines)

ZAMBOANGA City -- The Department of Agriculture-9 (DA-9) has allotted PHP27 million as contingency funds for the impending La Niña to hit the country. DA Regional Director Constancio Alama on Wednesday told the Philippines News Agency that the bulk of the funds will be used to provide assistance to farmers, whose crops will be damaged by floods spawned by the La Niña. Alama said the assistance will be in the form of rice, corn and vegetables seeds to be distributed to the affected farmers. Aside from floods, Alama said that the other problem may arise during La Niña is crop infestation by army worms, rats and others. Meanwhile, he said they are conducting information caravan in coordination with the local government units (LGUs) to instill awareness to the farmers on the possible effects of La Niña. “Every year, with or without La Niña, may information caravan kami para handa tayo (for any eventuality),” he said. He said the farmers are also taught of good agricultural practices during the information caravan. He said they also advised farmers to plant earlymaturing rice variety, root crops and vegetables during rainy season. (PNA)

After decades of campaign, aguindanao now a filariasis-free province

Misamis Oriental governor welcomes lifestyle check

SHARIFF AGUAK, Maguindanao -- The entire province of Maguindanao is a now filariasis-free, a health official said. Dr. Tahir Sulaik, head of the Maguindanao Integrated Provincial Health Office, said they have been conducting a massive campaign against the mosquito-borne killer disease in the province’s 36 municipalities for decades. In 1998, Maguindanao was among the 44 provinces nationwide where filariasis was endemic. But after a mid-term assessment survey in 2015, and through night blood examination survey in three pilot areas – Datu Paglas, Shariff Aguak, and Sultan Mastura – the test conducted by University of the Philippines’ College of Public Health found

MISAMIS ORIENTAL -- Misamis Oriental governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano on Wednesday welcomed the move to conduct lifestyle check of elected public officials in the country. In a statement released to the local press, Emano said that he was willing to submit himself to a lifestyle check because, “as an elected governor, I must let people know that I lived a life of modesty and frugality.” Emano made the statement after being informed that President Duterte would subject all public officials to a lifestyle check. He said that a lifestyle check would determine how a public official, especially the elected public official, amassed wealth

a zero rate of filariasis, according to Sulaik. Sulaik was awarded by former Health Secretary Janette Garin last June 23 for the province’s success in its campaign against filariasis. Sulaik credited the success to the hundreds of health providers who supported the campaign. “We are proud to say that Maguindanao is free of filariasis,” he said. According to the World Health Organization, filariasis is an infection with filarial worms which are transmitted to human through the bite of an infected mosquito. With one disease “neutralized,” IPHO-Maguindanao is eyeing other diseases for eradication, Sulaik said. See free, page A7

OPENING CLASSES SALE UP TO 50% DISCOUNT ON SELECTED ITEMS

while in public office. “The salary of a public official, including the elected ones, follows the government’s standardized salary, which is barely enough considering the responsibilities of an elected public official in highly urbanized areas,” Emano said. He said that there were elected public officials who have amassed wealth that their names were even included in the list of among the wealthiest in the country. “If the Duterte government would seriously run after elected public officials who have amassed unexplained wealth, including earnings outside of their salaries, the official would certainly have something to explain,” Emano said.

THE PURVEYOR OF TRUTH , JUSTICE, AND DEVELOPMENT

Thursday, July 21, 2016

The truth about the arbitral tribunal decision LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the LORD…” (Psalm 119:1, the Holy Bible). -oooTHE TRUTH ABOUT THE ARBITRAL TRIBUNAL DECISION: If you read and studied the 500 or so pages of the “award” which the Permanent Court of Arbitration rendered in the South China Sea dispute between China and the Philippines, I am sure you will also find out that it was not really an award or something. I am sure you will also learn that despite its many findings that China violated various rights of the Philippines over the islands found in that part of the ocean, the Court actually refused to issue any order, as requested by Filipino officials, to order China to stop the violations, or to give out any relief to our country. In short, now I know why President Duterte and Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay Jr. were looking forlorn and gravely sad when the “award” came

out on July 12, 2016. It is because the Philippines did not really win anything from the Court, even if it is being bruited about that it spent a whooping US$1.2 billion to file and prosecute the arbitration case against China. -oooTHE ONLY OPTION FOR RP: NEGOTIATE WITH CHINA: With an “award” like that, and with a declaration by the Court that it not making any other statement after describing the violations committed by China against the Philippines, the only possibility left for Filipinos is, truly, to agree to what China had been saying all alone: discuss and resolve their differences over the South China Sea at the negotiating table. Indeed, negotiations and further dialogues are the only options available to the Philippines, especially because China is adamant in its stand not to abide by the Court’s “award”. Otherwise, we will be compelled to go to war against the Chinese, if we insist on asserting our supposed rights over the

South China Sea. But war is---and should never be--- an option here. The Philippines is puny and small, compared to the might and power of China, militarily, economically, and demographically. So, we must agreed to negotiate. We must heed China’s call for us to discuss the matter all over again, and attempt to find solutions diplomatically. -oooWHY DID AQUINO INSIST ON ARBITRATION? The question, of course, is: if negotiations are the only thing we can really do here, did not the Aquino

are not criminals. They are sick, and in fact there are vulnerabilities. There may be biological vulnerabilities. Those with learning disorders are vulnerable. The most serious vulnerability is poverty. It is easy to blame the addicts but the truth is, it is the social context of these people that is immoral in the first place. I also see gender as a vulnerability. Most of the cases I saw among women in conflict with the law were related to drug trade. For decades, the Philippine approach smacked of hypocrisy. They went after the addicts and the small time dealers. This did not address the issue. Now the state is going after the big fishes and the latter should face the consequence. They should be punished. It is not important that these

d r u g l ord s a re charitable...narcophilantropy is still unacceptable because they have wreaked havoc on the lives of many people. Drug addiction, like any other health problems like high maternal moratlity rates, increased prevalence of HIV/AIDS or tuberculosis need holistic solutions and entails a major change in the social, economic, political and cultural structures of the society. There is a clamor for respect for human rights. Yes to this because, we, social activists have been pressing for this for decades. Human rights violation took heavy toll mostly on leftist activists. Again, this should be done not to single out a specific individual but to hold all those accountable not only on drug-related activities. Engaged citizens should work towards pressing for the punishment of those accountable not only for drug-related deaths but also for the deaths of politi-

cal activists. E nsu r i ng human rights is state responsibility, therefore, all the actions taken to go after drug addicts, small time dealers and drug lords should still be within the Rule of Law. One thing we should also try to investigate... the relationship between neoliberalism and human rights. This system always correlates with human rights violation. And the saddest thing is, we cannot punish the system, only the individuals. Another sad thing is the pushers of this system are the corporate crooks in partnership with the ruling local elites who always get away with the crime. I am happy that we have started going after the key players of corruption. (MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews.

government---whose officials filed the arbitration case against China under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas with the Permanent Court of Arbitration---realize this before that case was ever filed? Did not the Aquino government try to consider the stand of China, known to all the world all along, that it would never agree to any compulsory arbitration and that the only approach it would ever recognize towards solving the South China Sea problem is dialogue and negotiation since, as what it had been saying, it is dialogue which the two countries earlier on agreed upon as the remedy to solve their dispute? Why did Aquino seek arbitration when China had been saying it will not honor any award from any arbitrator? And what really happened behind the trip of an Aquino ally, Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, to China, considering that, after that trip, the Chinese became thoroughly emboldened See batas, page A7

Thursday, July 21, 2016

PDIC to pay depositors of the closed Rural Bank of Siaton (Siaton, Negros Oriental), Inc. starting July 21, 2016 The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) will service the deposit insurance claims of depositors of the closed Rural Bank of Siaton (Siaton, Negros Oriental), Inc. on July 21 to 22, 2016, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The pay-out shall be held at the bank’s main office located at Km. 50, National Highway, Poblacion, Siaton, Negros Oriental. Depositors with valid deposit balances of PHP100,000 and below and who do not have any outstanding loans or payables to the bank do not have to file deposit insurance claims. Their insured deposits shall be mailed to their mailing addresses per bank records or based on the Mailing Address Update Form earlier submitted to PDIC. All other depositors, regardless of the type of

their account or account balance, have to file deposit insurance claims. These include depositors with account balances of more than PHP100,000, those with outstanding loans or payables to the bank and those with incomplete addresses. Depositors whose accounts are under the name of business entities also need to file claims. When filing claims for deposit insurance, depositors have to personally present their Savings Passbook, Certificate of Time Deposit or other evidence of deposit, and two (2) valid photo-bearing IDs with their signature. Depositors who are below 18 years old should be represented by a parent. For these depositors, a photocopy of the child’s Birth Certificate issued by the National Statistics Office

(NSO) or a duly certified copy issued by the Local Civil Registrar is required. The parent should sign the Claim Form and the other requirements. PDIC will not accept claims which are incomplete or lack the requisite documents. The deposit insurer may also require other documents in the course of processing of claims. Depositors who are not able to file their claims during the claims settlement operations period may submit their claims either through mail to PDIC or personally at the PDIC Public Assistance Center, 3rd Floor, SSS Bldg., 6782 Ayala Avenue corner V.A. Rufino Street, Makati City starting on August 1, 2016. In accordance with the provisions of the PDIC Charter, the last day for filing deposit insurance

claims in the closed Rural Bank of Siaton (Siaton, Negros Oriental), Inc. is on July 9, 2018. After this date, PDIC as Deposit Insurer shall no longer accept any Rural Bank of Siaton deposit insurance claims. The PDIC said that all valid claims will be paid. As a rule, a claim is valid if it is filed by a depositor or claimant with valid identification, and such claim is duly evidenced by a passbook, certificate of time deposit or other evidence of deposit determined to be an authentic document or record issued by the bank. PDIC, as Receiver, has the authority to adjust the interest rate on unpaid interests on deposits of a bank if such rate is deemed unreasonable. Meanwhile, claims of persons or entities against the assets of the bank must be filed with the Deputy

up to March 2016, along with the Union of the Local Authorities of the Philippines, National Economic and Development Authority, Council for the Welfare of Children, and the United Nations Population Fund. Among the salient provisions, which make the SK Reform Law responsive and transparent, are as follows: Increase age to 18 years old, but not more than 25; fiscal autonomy; presence of mechanism of transparency and accountability; mandatory training before assumption of office; inclusion of development plan; and an anti-dynasty provision that states “he or she must not have any relative in elective public office within the second degree of consanguinity or affinity.” The registration period for the Barangay and SK elections, slated on October 26, 2016, started last Friday, July 15, and will run until July 30, 2016. For the registration, Comelec offices will be open to accept registrants during office hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., including Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. To register to vote for the SK polls, voters must be 15 years old, but not more than 30 years old on the election day, Oct. 31, 2016, and must have been residing in the barangay for, at least, six months on election day. Those who want to register for the village and youth polls may download the registration form and print them ahead of visiting the Office of Election Officer in their city or municipality to ease the registration process. It must accomplished triplicate forms to make registration quicker. (Oliver Badel Inodeo, Pantawid Pamilya Information Officer, DSWD Field Office 10)

not one of them is a politician or a policeman,” Zubiri said during the turn-over of 12 suspected shabu retailers from his province to the NBI regional office, here, earlier. This was the third time that Zubiri had escorted self-confessed drug pushers from the 20 towns and two cities of Bukidnon to the NBI-10. At least, 35 suspected drug pushers have come forward and promised to stop selling prohibited drugs. Zubiri said he has asked the team not to hide anything in their investigation and to include everyone involved in illegal drugs. “If all these people are involved, write them down. I don’t care who they are; be they politicians, policemen or millionaires,” he said. In the report that was submitted to him by the group, a politician’s name

surfaced, as well as, a few police officers; but, Zubiri said, they were not drug sellers but only protectors of shabu dealers. Zubiri said he made it a point to have barangay and town officials to coordinate directly with him in making a list and not to the police. For his part, NBI-10 regional director Angelito Magno, said the role of the agency is in the processing of the personalities’ details through finger-printing and picture-taking, and in preparation of their affidavits.

simultaneously with the work to implement agreements that government had entered into. “I can sign a hundred peace agreements but if those on the ground do not immediately feel the dividends of peace, those agreements will not be sustainable,” Dureza said in his presentation. President Duterte forthwith directed that the executive order of the peace office be amended to enable it to oversee all development projects and at the same time empower it to implement projects that are related to peace. On the Bangsamoro, President Duterte declared that we are now already on the “implementation stage as the time for negotiations are over”. The roadmap now entails the operationalization of a mechanism where an allMoro body will be tasked to draft anew a more inclusive proposed enabling law that will be filed with Congress in lieu of the socalled Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) that was not passed by the previous Congress when it adjourned. The peace strategy envisions the consolidation and/or convergence of the various peace agreements already entered into like the Moro Islamic Liberation Front’s Comprehensive Agreement of the Bangsamoro (CAB) and the Moro National Liberation Front’s 1996 Final Peace Agreement (FPA), including relevant provisions of the Republic Act No. 9054 (or the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao Law) and the Indigenous People’s Rights Act (IPRA). The Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) provided for in the CAB will be reconstituted with representation coming from the MILF, MNLF, the ARMM, and other Bangsamoro representatives. Work on the new proposed Bangsamoro enabling law will be done simultaneous with the moves to shift to a federal set-up, the latter expected to come later under the planned time line. The reconstituted and inclusive BTC will also be mandated to propose amendments to the Philippine Constitution that are pertinent to the Bangsamoro

as inputs towards eventual federalism in the land. In the same Malacañan meeting, President Duterte also approved the way forward in the impending resumption of peace talks with communist rebels. Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III, government panel chair to the talks with the CPP/NPA/NDF, led in the oath taking of the new panel members. The resumption of talks reset tentatively to the middle of August 2016 will be preceded by the release of some 11 leaders of the CPP/NPA/NDF, who are presently detained and who will participate in the talks. President Duterte directed that legal procedures be complied with to effect their temporary releases pursuant to the previously signed Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG). Incoming Senate President Aquilino Pimentel Jr. and incoming House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez were invited to the Malacañan meeting and expressed support to the new peace road map. Both leaders also committed to send their respective representatives from both Houses to assist in the peace work. An enabling law will have to be passed by Congress to implement the new peace road map of the Duterte administration.

and the NDF panels were expected to resume formal peace negotiations in Oslo on July 27, two days after the President’s State-of-theNation Address (SONA). The peace negotiations will be hosted by the Royal Norwegian Government, which acts as third party facilitator for the talks. Even before President Duterte formally assumed office, he already sent Dureza, Bello and Braganza to Oslo last June 13 for an informal meet and preliminary talks with the NDF peace panel. The talks yielded a discussion framework for the formal resumption of peace negotiations, the agenda of which will include five major points: * Affirmation of previously-signed agreements * Accelerated process for negotiations, including the timeline for the completion of the remaining substantive agenda for the talks: socioeconomic reforms; political and economic reforms; and end of hostilities and disposition of forces * Reconstitution of the Joint Agreement on Security and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG) list * Amnesty Proclamation for the release of all detained political prisoners, subject to concurrence by Congress * Mode of interim ceasefire “Secretary (Jesus) Dureza, (the Presidential Adviser to the Peace Process), had instructed us to hammer

out all the details so that the formal resumption will yield the best results, with the end in view of fasttracking the negotiations,” Braganza said. “We do not exp ec t stumbling blocks for the resumption as it is very clear that there will be no pre-conditions from both parties,” he added. He stressed that the rescheduling of the resumption will not dampen the unprecedented enthusiasm shown by both sides to finally forge an agreement that would end nearly five decades of armed conflict. “Both parties are upbeat and optimistic because this will be the first time that the talks have been front loaded by an incoming administration in its agenda, as well as the pronounced sincerity of President Rodrigo Duterte to address the concerns of our brothers in the CPP, NDF and NPA,” Braganza said. “The government likens this stage to a house that President Duterte wants to be built. Let the foundations be sturdy enough that it could withstand any disaster or threat to their stability. So that when we go to Oslo, both parties will just need to add the windows and doors to lasting peace and genuine progress,” he added.

better get back to work now.” That poor old guy’s memory was so short, he really didn’t know if he was coming or going! It seems no matter how hard we try, none of us can stop from getting older. Aging is a natural law and process we simply can’t stop or change. We can exercise, eat only healthy food, take vitamins, use all the best lotions and oils on our skin, but we’re still getting older every day.

sweeter, kinder, more gentle and accepting of others’ faults. We should become more compassionate and understanding of other people’s needs and problems, since we’ve learned how easy it is for us to make mistakes. We should just become more caring and forgiving. Friend, if you want to get better with age, then today you can ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and take full charge of your heart and character every day. He’s the only One Who can help you start changing daily into the person you really want to be. That’s how you can enjoy even more the second half of your life, as you grow older—and better.

Gotico, however, lamented the BJMP’s lack of funds to build new cells, or jail buildings, to provide more space for inmates. In an earlier report by the Police Regional Office (PRO) XI, there were already 95 persons linked to illegal drugs arrested in a total of 77 buy-bust operations from July 1 to 10 in Davao region. Like the jail, the government is also facing shortage of facilities for drug dependents with the overwhelming number of surrenderees. As of July 14, drug users who voluntary surrendered totaled to 2,286 and 34 drug pushers in the region. However, President Rodrigo Duterte already planned to build more regional drug rehabilitation centers. “I have to build regional, itong (this) drug rehabilitation. I would need time but the law and order cannot wait,” he said. Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director General Isidro Lapeña said there were five regions which did not have rehabilitation centers except for privatelyoperated facilities. Lapeña said they were working on ways to establish drug rehabilitation centers for government to cope with the big number of persons involved in drugs who surrendered and wanted to undergo rehab. One way of addressing this is to determine those who can be considered “outpatient.” Lapeña said these were people whose addiction was not serious. In Davao region, Lapeña said local chief executives had indicated to put up rehabilitation centers. “This should be the trend now in all Local Government Units (LGUs),” according to Lapeña.(PNA) Republic of the Philippines DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS MARITIME INDUSTRY AUTHORITY MARINA R.O.
