Duterte - Some mining firms fund ‘destabilization’ moves EDITOR: Cris diaz

Wednesday

Pr e si de n t Ro drigo Duterte has accused some mining firms of funding the opposition in their plot to destabilize his administration.

Though he did not specify what mining firms were involved, the President said

March 15, 2017

that said firms are active in the destabilization move. “ Kayong mga mining, I know that you are funding the opposite side. Alam ko na ngayon kung sino gumagasto sa kanila,” Duterte said during a joint press briefing with Senate President

Koko Pimentel and House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez in Malacañang last Monday.

Burned bus was on its second day of plying Marbel-Tacurong-Davao route TALUNTALUNAN, Makilala, North Cotabato -- A newly-acquired passenger bus on its second day of plying the Marbel-TacurongDavao route was burned by suspected communist rebels at Purok 6 here at around 8:30 a.m. Monday, after asking its passengers

and drivers to disembark, police said.

The burning came a day after Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza announced from Utrecht, The Netherlands that the government (GPH) and the National Democratic Front (NDF) at the end of the March 10 and 11 backchannel talks, had

agreed to put the peace process back on track after month-long skirmishes and that they would each restore the unilateral ceasefire they lifted last month, before the fourth round of formal peace talks in Oslo first week of April.

In a report to Makilala Mayor Rudy Caoagdan,

DAVAO CITY -- The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) urged the local courts to hasten the trial of cases so inmates can be released early to decongest the Davao City Jail.

BJMP 11 Director Chief

Inspector Pio Rosero voiced concern on the rapid increase of inmates contributing to the congestion of the city jail.

Rosero said that BJMP needs the support of the courts for the early release

of inmates, noting that most of them are already staying for years waiting for the final disposition of cases.

For the record, Rosero said there are now 3,056 inmates at the city jail, which

P 12 B DVO bulk water project gains headway DAVAO CITY -- The preconstruction works for the PHP12-billion Davao City Bulk Water Supply project will commence middle of this year, according to an official.

“Acquisitions of permits are almost complete and by the middle of this year, Apo Agua will proceed with its pre-construction operations,” said Cirilo C. Almario III, general manager of Apo Agua Infrastructura, Inc. The company will undertake most of the PHP12billion project of the Davao City Water District by tapping the water resources of Tamugan River.

The works will include the construction of weir and intake structure, raw water transmission lines, water treatment plant, hydroelectric power plant and

treated water transmission lines.

Apo Agua is investing PHP10 billion to complete the construction works while the DCWD is pouring some PHP2 billion for the laying of new giant pipes from its reservoirs down to its distribution lines in various areas of Davao City.

Apo Agua is a joint venture of Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV) and JV Angeles Construction Corporation (JVACC).

AEV holds 70 percent stake in the venture and the rest by JVACC. The joint venture had already signed a Bulk Water Purchase Agreement with the DCWD to provide 300 million liters per day (300 MLD) of potable water for a period of 30 years to DCWD consumers in Davao City.

Almario described the joint venture project as the most efficient and effective sourcing of potable water for Davao City consumers.

DCWD is currently dependent on ground water sources tapped through electric-powered pumps, he added.

The system, he said, is expensive and can be affected in times of power interruptions.

The DCWD reportedly spends close to PHP400 million in electric bills annually in pumping out water from the Dumoy aquifers.

This much can be saved by DCWD annually once the bulk water project starts.

With such limited system of sourcing out water, only 61 percent of the population of Davao City is serviced by the DCWD while water

production in the city only increased by 3.5 percent annually over the past five years.

Apo Agua offers a more sustainable option to source out potable water for Davao City as its main source, the Tamugan River, regularly registers a 12 cu.m. / sec water flow, a volume enough to supply the number of liters of water stipulated in the agreement.

The project, Almario said, will start with the construction of a weir in Barangay Tawantawan. A weir is a low dam that will be built across Tamugan River to raise the level of water for its diversion towards an intake facility and the water treatment plant.

A total of eight reservoirs of DCWD will be served

by Apo Agua – to include

the reservoirs in Calinan, Tugbok, Talandang, Mandug, Panorama, Panacan, Indangan and Cabantian.

The reservoir in Panorama, which supplies most of the heavily populated areas in Davao City, will receive the bulk of the water supply from Apo Agua.

Full project construction will commence by the last quarter of this year until its target completion by 2019.

“Only a few documents and permits are being processed right now. Upon completion of these permits

by June or July, we will immediately proceed with the pre-construction works and full construction work of the project,” Almario pointed out.

The project’s Environmental Compliance Certificate from the Department

of Environment and Natural Resources was already approved last week.

This March, it is expected that the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Davao City will complete the two public hearings. The City Planning and Development Office has already endorsed the application of Apo Agua to the Davao City Local Zoning Board.

Permits and certifications from the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Agrarian Reform are also being processed and expected to be completed

by June of this year.

“We are optimistic that all the requirements can be completed mid-2017. This project is very important as this will solve the problems of the DCWD,” Almario said . (PNA)

over personal interest.

Guided by public interest, whatever decision teachers have, they should always promote the welfare of the school or community at large.It means, that their decisions should be for the interest of the students.

That they will not use their position to pursue their personal interest. Since teachers are part of the government, they must take good care of government funds and supply to have good efficiency.

School and community are two integrated interacting social institutions which the main concern is the students. They help them grow holistically and globally competitive to the utmost service teachers can do. Teachers communicate students and parents as well. Cooperation with one another of this two social institutions many opportunities will arise for the better projects for school and community development.

Empowering Education for Life

By Samie B. Aso, SST- III OCNHS

Footsteps rushing. Voices overlapping. Children laughing.

I could hear these noises just a few feet away from the gate. I could easily spot the sea of unfamiliar smiling visages scattered like spilled beans rushing to their respective classes. I stood in the corner trying to be incognito, awestruck at how my small gift had a great impact on these children. I could easily remember my days at the school as if it just happened yesterday.

I was born to a rice farmer and a plain housewife. We lived in a small barrio in Cagayan Valley.

Our life was so austere, yes, but we barely managed to eat thrice a day. My father may have a stable job but doesn’t mean we are free

from the hands of poverty. I would walk barefoot to get my elementary and secondary schooling. Despite the many splinters I got from walking the rock-strewn road, I tried to endure because my parents taught me beforehand about the importance of education.

They did their best to get me through high school, but I wanted to learn more.

I knew my parents could not manage to give me a higher education. I was on the brink of giving up, but God was on my side.

He helped me achieve the high education I needed.

I became a scholar in Mapua Institute of Technology and there I pursued my degree in Electrical Engineering with the thought of my parents’ words ringing at the back of my head, I

graduated as Cum Laude.

With God’s help, I was able to finish a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. The level of education I had achieved and the influence of people in the same field allowed me to develop several milestone products in the computer education, we were free from the binding hands of poverty.

If not for my parents’ words ringing at the back of my head every time I felt like giving up, reminding me of the importance of education, I wouldn’t have reached this far. If not for the public schools I have attended to, I would not have been able to attain a scholarship for college. Even by receiving only meager education, with an ample amount of determination and hardwork, one can rise

up and be free from the bondage of poverty. With the wealth of God and the gift of education bestowed unto me, I thought of giving back the gift my Alma Mater had given me. I provided computer units to my elementary grade school.

Though it may seem a small price to me, the elementary school is now one of the public schools with the most advance computer systems.

And now I am back to my old school trying to be incognito as I watch the young ones fiddle with the computer units. I know my gift to them will not be in vain. For I know most of them, if not all, will benefit from education, the same way I have. My name may not ring a bell but I tell you, empowering education is empowering life itself.

a safe learning environment in which students can succeed, are all factor that contribute to effective classroom management.

Classroom management refers to the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers use to keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive, on task and academically productive during a class.

When classroom management strategies are executed effectively teachers minimize the behaviors that impede learning for both individual students and groups of students while maximizing the behavior that facilitate or enhance learning.

Generally speaking, effective teachers tend to

display strong classroom management skills, while the hall mark of the inexperienced or less effective teacher is a disorderly classroom filled with students who are not working or paying attention.

While a limited or more traditional interpretation of effective classroom management may focus largely on “compliance”rules and strategies that teachers may use to make sure students are sitting on their seats, following directions, listening attentively, etc. more encompassing or up-dates view of classroom management extends to everything that teachers may do to facilitate or improve student learning.

Republic of the Philippines ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION Pacific Center Building San Miguel Avenue, Pasig City IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR CONFIRMATION AND APPROVAL OF EMERGENCY CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PROJECT, RE: PROCUREMENT OF 10MVA POWER TRANSFORMER TOGETHER WITH PROTECTION AND SAFETY ACCESSORIES FOR KAPATAGAN SUBSTATION, AS REPLACEMENT FOR THE DAMAGED 1-5MVA POWER TRANSFORMER, WITH APPLICATION FOR AUTHORITY TO SECURE LOAN FROM THE NATIONAL ELECTRIFICATION ADMINISTRATION (NEA), ERC CASE NO. _______ RC LANAO DEL NORTE ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE (LANECO),

Applicant. x - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - x APPLICATION APPLICANT LANAO DEL NORTE ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE (LANECO) thru counsel, unto this Honorable Commission, most respectfully alleges that: THE APPLICANT 1. LANECO is a non-stock, non-profit electric cooperative, duly organized and existing under Philippine laws, with principal office at Tubod, Lanao del Norte; 2. It holds an exclusive franchise from the National Electrification Commission to operate an electric light and power distribution service in the municipalities of Linamon, Matungao, Poona Piagapo, Kauswagan, Bacolod, Munai, Maigo, Kolambugan, Tangkal, Magsaysay, Tubod, Baroy, Lala, Salvador, Kapatagan, Sapad, Sultan Naga Dimaporo, and Baloi, all in the province of Lanao del Norte.

LEGAL BASES FOR THE APPLICATION 3. Pursuant to Republic Act No. 9136, ERC Resolution 26, Series of 2009 and other laws and rules, and in line with its mandate to provide safe, quality, efficient and reliable electric service to its consumers, LANECO submits for the Honorable Commission’s confirmation and approval the Emergency Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) Project subject of the instant application.

PROJECT SCHEDULE 12. The 10MVA Power Transformer was delivered on site on November 8, 2016 and mounted on the transformer pad the following day. The accessories were assembled and connections were made inside the substation from November 10 to 12. Initial tests were conducted on November 12, while filtering of transformer oil as well continuation of testing were performed on November 13, 2016.

13. On November 15, 2016, the 10MVA Power Transformer was energized and commissioned and by the following day, LANECO restored its normal operations with extensive and constant monitoring on the substations to ensure the safety and reliability of the operation.

PROJECT FINANCING 14. Funding. LANECO’s Reinvestment Fund for Sustainable Capital Expenditures (RFSC) is not sufficient to pay the suppliers for the project. Thus, the total project cost of PhP19,797,311.80 will be sourced from a loan availment from the National Electrification Administration (NEA) to be paid in equal quarterly amortizations for five (5) years at an interest of 6.5% per annum. Loan amortizations shall be paid out of the cooperative’s RFSC collections.

15. Cash Flow. LANECO’s cash flow shows that it can viably pursue and implement the CAPEX Plan without necessarily causing significant increase in its electricity rates.

16. Rate Impact. The rate impact of the implementation of the project calculated based on a proposed recovery period of five (5) years, is equivalent to PhP0.0155 per kilowatt-hour, as shown in the table below, as follows:

4. On the other hand, the accompanying application for authority to secure loan from the National Electrification Administration (NEA) in connection with the funding source for the subject Emergency CAPEX Project, is being filed pursuant to Section 20 (e) of Commonwealth Act No. 146 otherwise known as the Public Service Act, which requires every public service to secure the approval and authorization of the Commission for issuance of any bonds or other evidence of indebtedness payable in more than one year.

THE ANTECEDENT FACTS 5. LANECO’s Kapatagan Substation has two (2) 5MVA Power Transformers, a 5MVA Brush Power Transformer (Brush) and a 5MVA Takaoka Power Transformer (Takaoka); 6. On October 30, 2016, at around 6:28 P.M. the Brush Transformer made unusual and loud noises. A few seconds thereafter, Kapatagan Substation’s power system tripped; 7. The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) indicator showed a fault in the Kapatagan Substation, more particularly in the Brush Transformer. NGCP personnel attempted to re-energize the system, but failed.

JUSTIFICATIONS AND BENEFITS TO BE DELIVERED BY THE PROJECT

8. An examination of the substation showed that oil was spilling from the top cover of the Brush Transformer. At the time, power failure was at a critical level of 3.28MW equivalent to 4.77MVA (95.4% loading, assuming the 80% Power Factor of the power transformer).

17. The immediate procurement and installation of the new 10MVA Power Transformer to replace the damaged 5MVA Brush Power Transformer was a must, to immediately restore and provide a safe, adequate, efficient and reliable electric service to the consumers being served by the busted Brush Transformer.

9. On October 31, 2016, NGCP personnel conducted tests and confirmed that Brush Transformer was badly damaged. Thus, in order to avoid total blackout in the affected municipalities, the Tubod Feeder connections were transferred to the Takaoka Transformer which serves the Kapatagan-SND and Sapad-Salvador Feeders supplying power to the municipalities of Kapatagan, Sultan Naga Dimaporo, Sapad, Salvador and some areas of Aurora, Zamboanga del Sur;

18. An upgraded 10MVA transformer was procured since the existing busted Brush 5MVA Power Transformer was no longer sufficient to meet present and future load requirements due to influx of commercial and industrial establishments in the areas of Kapatagan, Lala, Baroy and Tubod, and likewise in order to withstand overloading due to long or over- extended multi-lateral connections of backbone lines in far-flung municipalities and barangays.

10. As a temporary remedy, LANECO implemented a load shedding scheme consisting of an eight -hour rotational brownout in all areas being served by the Kapatagan Substation. This was in view of the fact that the remaining Takaoka Transformer was not sufficient to accommodate the capacity requirements of the area.

19. Prior to LANECO’s decision to procure the 10MVA power transformer, three (3) technical and economic alternative analysis were made, based on the 30-year economic life span of the power transformer with the 30-years forecasted demand of the Kapatagan Substation, excluding the load to be transferred to the newly constructed 10MVA Tubod Substation in Sagadan, Tubod, Lanao del Norte.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

20. The technical and economic analysis conducted showed that the replacement with a new 10MVA power transformer is the most technically feasible and more economically viable project.

11. The project subject of the instant application is the emergency procurement of a new 10MVA Power Transformer as replacement for the damaged 1-5MVA Brush Transformer of Kapatagan Substation, including protection and safety accessories incidental to the acquisition and operation of the new Power Transformer. The project is summarized, as follows:

APPLICATION FOR AUTHORITY TO SECURE LOAN FROM NEA 21. As stated above, the project is being funded by a loan availment from the National Electrification Administration (NEA), considering that the cooperative’s Reinvestment Fund for Sustainable Expenditure (RFSC) is not sufficient to pay outright the suppliers for the project. Hence, this application for authority from the Honorable Commission to secure the loan from NEA. SUBMISSION DOCUMENTARY AND PRE-FILING REQUIREMENTS 13. Finally, in compliance with the documentary as well as pre-filing requirements for the instant application, LANECO is submitting herewith the following documents which are being made integral parts hereof, to wit: See application, page A6

Playing actively outdoors also increases flexibility, fine and gross motor skills and is related to the devel-

opment of a wide variety of physical skills, including those involved in sports.

Filipino indigenous games such tsinela lata, patintero, kadang-kadang, and habul-habulan are some famous games of the Filipino children before which gradually disappear because of technology.

As teachers, it our responsibility to preserve these games as part of our Filipino culture.

has an ideal capacity of only 470 inmates (30 per cell), while the jail annex has 700. The Davao City Jail, commonly known as Maa Jail, is the biggest jail under the supervision of the BJMP-11. BJMP jails are also located in Compostela Valley, Tagum in Davao del Norte and Digos in Davao del Sur. BJMP jails have a total 6,000 inmates nationwide.

This means half of them are in the Davao City Jail.

Rosero said 75 percent of the 3,056 inmates -- 2,293 males and 700 females-at the city jail have drugrelated cases.

Rosero revealed during Monday’s Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM Davao that the construction of the new jail in Wangan , which is within an eight hectare property, can accommodate 5,000 inmates plus other facilities.

It is targeted for completion in three years.

The project is in collaboration with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and has an initial budget of P236 million for the first phase of implementation, including funding from the office of first district Rep. Karlo Nograles.

Rosero said the project will still be subject for public bidding.

Rosero was hopeful the new jail would be constructed soon because the

Biblical reflection

Let peace governs your heart The Gospel of Jesus Christ (March15, 2017-Wednesday) Matthew 18:21-35” For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves.

“When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. But since he did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold,

it, that’s their problem,” the President added.

Duterte also lambasted several mining firms for destroying the environment in their areas of operation.

Showing photos of the effects of their destructive mining practices, the President dropped the names of Berong Nickel Corp., CitiNickel Mines and Development Corporation, OceanaGold, Benguet Nickel Mines, Emir Minerals Corp., Adnama, CTP Construction and Mining Corporation, Claver Mineral Development Corporation, Carrascal Nickel Corporation, and Marcventures Development among others.

The said firms were on the list of 28 mining firms that were earlier ordered closed or suspended by Environment Secretary Gina Lopez.

“Look at what mining does to our country. Is Gina (Lopez) a liar? No! How can you argue with Gina when she’s confronting you with a visual case?” Duterte said.

The President said that while mining contributes around PHP 70 billion annually in taxes, the mining firms have a lot of explaining to do to the Filipino people.

“Where are the trees that God gave us? Where’s the environment that God gave us? All of these for PHP 70 billion. It’s all destruction,” he said.

“So kami dito , it appalls us na kung mag lobby-lobby lang kayo ng mining dyan o maggastos kayo; gusto n’yo ako palitan na president na pinapanood nyo,” he said.

Duterte said he will call the mining firms in Malacañang for a no holds-barred talks .

along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made. “So the slave fell to the ground and prostrated himself before him, saying, `Have patience with me and I will repay you everything: Let us put in this way: if God counts your mistakes from the beginning, are you sure that you are worthy to be forgiven? The answer is probably not! But for God you deserve to be forgiven

because his love is greater than your trespasses.

Seventy times seven: In Theology this is an endless forgiveness to be given to anyone because healing within begins in forgiving someone.

From the highway, the bus was burned about a hundred meters along the one-way road.

Colonia’s report said that upon reaching Purok 6, armed men, suspected to be members of Guerrilla 72 of the New People’s Army, ordered the passengers, conductor, inspector and driver to disembark, poured gasoline inside the bus and set it on fire.

An official of the Yellow Bus company who had just arrived at the site from Koronadal City told MindaNews that the newlyacquired airconditioned bus was on its second day of operations along that route. He requested not to be named.

Farmer Jack Sunico, 27, said he was attending to his coffee trees nearby when he heard a loud explosion, apparently from the tires that burst when the bus was burning. He said he saw men wearing masks on five motorcycles -- four with driver and passengers) headed to the interiors of the barangay immediately after.

As of 11 a.m. Tuesday, the NPA had yet to issue a statement confirming or denying responsibility behind the bus burning.

“Not yet effective” In a statement from Amsterdam, Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza said he was from page A1 getting “disturbing reports Police Chief Inspector Elias of alleged atrocities by the Colonia said the Yellow Bus Line unit driven by Victor Bernabat Serondo was moving along the TacurongMakilala highway when six suspects who were among the passengers “pointed plain well to me kung bakit ganito. Explain to us, to the lawmakers, such degradation of the (environment),” he said.

“We are in charge of the government. Hindi yung kayong mga pretentious dyan na ‘we will work for the benefit of the people.’ What can your PHP 70 billion do with the government? Nothing! You think you can live with it? Because of the PHP 70-B or nag contribute sa campaign funds mo ?” the President said.

Meanwhile, Duterte said he is mulling a total mining ban for the meantime until the mining firms can satisfactorily explain their sides .

“Maybe it would be worth the while of Gina (Lopez) to re-impose the ban. Total muna tayo tapos mag-usap tayo dito. Mag-prangkahan tayo. Explain to me what have you done to my country.. bakit ganito,” Duterte said.

The President likewise said that the government could live with the consequences of closing or suspending irresponsible mining operations in the country.

“Economy? Siguro wala pa tayo maibigay na trabaho sa mga tao pero maghintay kayo. We have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to look for the money but I’m going to give you food,” he said.

“Just pray that enough new business would come in but not as devastating as these ones,” Duterte said.

Dureza said the restoration of unilateral ceasefire that he announced Sunday is “not yet effective as of today as there is still a need to allow the government and the communist leaders to inform their respective ground forces accordingly.”

“Except for the government forces where there is a tight command and control structure in place and directives from higher headquarters are downloaded expeditiously, the same is NOT true with the NPAs, for obvious reasons,” Durea said.

He explained that the ceasefire shall take effect “as soon as both sides agree to a date specific” which he said “should be anytime before the first week of April 2017,” the fourth round of formal peace talks.

He said he had “informally raised” during the two-day backchannel talks that ended March 11 in Utrecht, The Netherlands, the possibility of “eruption of incidents” hence “the urgency of an early effectivity announcement considering my previous experience of similar situations in my earlier ceasefire negotiations with other groups (e.g. Bangsamoro) with some factions creating disturbances just to show defiance or merely as an attempt of projection of eminence by some of their elements.”

Dureza said these incidents “affect the over-all sentiments of peace- loving citizens who may even raise issues of good faith and may lead to questions

as to whether or not rebel groups we are engaging in the peace tables are sincere or have control over their ground forces.”

He added that public acceptance to the ongoing peace process is “critical, given the indispensable need of over-all stakeholders’ support to ensure success of our peace efforts.”

“Observe restraint” Government peace panel chair Silvestre Bello III in a statement urged combatants to “observe restraint.”

“We are really saddened by these unfortunate incidents,” Bello said, adding they have communicated with their counterparts in the NDF “and they vowed to look into it.”

Bello said they remain “firm and confident that we can still proceed according to the agreement we just ERRATUM The Notice of Hearing Applicant, ROMEL P.

jail population is increasing rapidly. The congestion of the city jail was raised last year following the all-out war against illegal drugs.

From January to September 2015, BJMP recorded 1,800 inmates. In July 2016, the number went up to 2,600.
