NPA seizes CAFGU in Tandag

SURIGAO CITY (MindaNews) — New People’s Army (NPA) rebels abducted on Thursday a member of the Civilian Armed Force Geographical Unit (Cafgu) at his home in Tandag City. The Army identified the Cafgu member as Jeremias E. Estrada, of Purok Lansones, Barangay San Agustin Norte, Tandag City, the capital of Surigao del Sur. Estrada was assigned at Matho Patrol Base, in Barangay Matho, Cortes town in Surigao del Sur. Reports said he was whisked away by heavily armed men inside his house at 7:00 a.m. Thursday. Lt. Col. Randolph P. Rojas, commanding officer of 36th Infantry Battalion, said Estrada was off-duty and spending time with his family when four armed men with AK 47 rifles barged inside his house and hogtied him before taking him with them. He said the armed men ignored pleas by his family not to take him away. Rojas said the victim’s wife Berlinda appealed to the abductors not to harm See seizes, page 11

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board-10 (LTFRB-10) on Thursday said it will assist the Land Transportation Office (LTO) in the implementation of RA 10913 or the Anti-Distracted Driving Act which took effect yesterday. The law prohibits motorists from using communication devices and other electronic entertainment and computing gadgets while vehicles are in motion or temporarily stopped on a traffic light or an intersection. LTFRB-10 regional director Aminoden Guro said the enforcement of the new law does not only fall to the government agencies such as LTO and LTFRB but even to ordinary citizens as well. What concerned persons should do if they see any violators is to report them to authorities and, if possible,

take photos of the drivers who are either texting or calling on their cellphone. Violations also include motorists who are playing games or watching movies while driving or using their devices for other purposes. Exempted are drivers who are using Bluetooth or ordinary headset in making calls, or during emergency situations. Although road-related deaths due to texting or using the mobile phone are not that rampant, the law, he said, will surely help prevent any loss of life or property in the future. The top causes of road deaths are speeding, drunkdriving and mechanical error. “Before the law was passed, motorists who text or call while driving were not arrested. But now that we have this law, everyone should comply,” Guro said. He said they will also inspect public utility See law, page 11

Undue care and anxiety Life is better than ever, so, why so many people seem to be unhappy? Whenever I hear people saying that everything is bad, I thik of my late grandmother, born in 1899 (!) into a really awful world in Germany and its surroundings. The so-called “Golden Twenties” between the two World Wars have been everything but golden for her, my relatives and millions of people. “Lola” never complained, even during the sorrowful time in the former East Germany, the “German Democratic Republic”. Lola reached the ripe old age of almost 86. We hardly count our blessings. We enjoy counting our crosses. Instead of gains, we count our losses. We don’t have to do all that counting - computers do it for us. Information is easily had.

silver, and I’ll make him spit out. Well, when will we start counting our courage and not our fears, or enjoy instead our woes? Worrying itself is pointless. Of course, no society has achieved perfectly rules of law, neverending education or unique responsible governments.

dreadful and horrible negativism. Especially nowadays Yes, I confess, I am also surrounded by many worriers who put their fears into me! Politicians, i.e., many times love to search for some grave alarm that will cause individuals to abandon their separate concerns and act in concert, so that politicians can wield the baton. Calls to fatal struggles and fights are forever being surrounded. The over-bearing person, who tyrannizes the weak, the person, who wants to domineer and to bluster, is simply nothing else than a worrier, who might claim to be a friend. But he isn’t! Really not! The bullying of fellow citizens by means of dread and fright has been going on since Paleolithic times. The night wolf is eating the moon. Give me

EDITORIAL

Legal Counsel

Just remember this: Opportunity doesn’t just knock - it jiglles the doorknob, and “your friend” - the worrier, is with you day and night, at every corner, following your every step. Complaining and grumbling are good excuses, aren’t they? We have time and opportuntities to do almost anything. So why haven’t we done it? We have the freedom of bondage or restraint, every one of us in his or her very special way - but, we’re still our old inferior selves. The job is boring! I don’t find a good job! The house is an unpleasing mixture of tidy and dirty things. It’s a mess! I am not in the mood to arrange my garden. I can’t afford a gardener. That’s life. How sad! No, it’s not MY fault. Of course not! The whole world is an awful place filled with

tention, especially world leaders. And that makes him one of the most recognizable world leaders of influence today. Certainly a huge leap from the “probinsiyano mayor”. At the center of last week’s discussions was the decision last Wednesday to inform the EU delegation in Manila that the Philippine government will no longer accept new grants from the European Union. But this should not have come as a surprise at all. Malacanan merely formalized what President Rody had been saying all along. When the EU and the US, both huge ODA donors, as much as hinted (read as:“threatened’) that ODA assistance would be cut,

Duterte fired back: “Go ahead. We will not beg for it.” Both donors had called Duterte to account for unexplained killings arising from Duterte’s war on drugs. The EU, in addition, took Duterte to task for the plan to reimpose the death penalty. Duterte considered such actions as undue interference in the affairs of a sovereign state. When a US senator threatened to block the sale of armalites for the use of the Philippine national police, Duterte countered that the Philippines can always buy arms substitutes from China and Russia. One diplomatic lesson learned: Don’t threaten Duterte. He just might call

Ignacio Bunye your bluff. But are the EU and the US bluffing? Who has more to lose? In the case of the EU aid, the numbers (over several years) are staggering: P13.9 Trillion. At a time when the Philippines is trying to raise trillions of pesos to fund its planned massive infrastructure program, Duterte’s decision may not make economic sense. Palace spokesperson Ernesto Abella assured, however, that Duterte’s decision to reject the EU assistance was approved upon the recommendation of the Department of Finance. O, See bunye, page 11

Think a minute

The End of the World Think a minute… Recently the biggestselling book in America was about the end of the world. Sometimes watching the world’s news is like watching a horror movie, isn’t it? You know that the 20th century had more people killed in wars than all the other centuries of history combined! Besides all the wars, we’re seeing an increase in many kinds of natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes; plus totally new weather patterns that never existed before such as El Nino and La Nina. Then, there are the terrible diseases, plagues, and new mystery viruses. AIDS,

the worst disease in history, is killing millions of people worldwide with still no cure in sight! In Africa, entire towns have no adults because they’ve all died from AIDS, so just babies and children are left to survive alone. According to a new United Nations report, we now have the worst world hunger and famine in history. Hundreds of millions are starving with countless thousands dying every day. You know that Jesus Christ told us that all these things would happen and that they’re like labor pains just before a mother gives birth. These terrible things are the sign that He’s getting ready to come back. Only

this time, He’s coming to judge all this world’s evil and wrong. Jesus said we can’t know the exact day of His return, so it will be sudden and here before we know it. But Jesus explained it’s because He loves us so much that He’s waited as long as He can for more of us to choose to receive His gift of forgiveness and eternal life, before it’s too late! But if you know the world’s Judge personally as your friend, then His return is good news because you’re going home with Him to live forever in paradise, just as He promised. That morning of September 11, those people who went to work at the World

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

Trade Center in New York had no idea they would never see their family again. And neither do we know if we’ll live to see tomorrow. Jesus made it clear that we all live forever—either in heaven or hell. The choice is ours. So why not ask Jesus to forgive you and take charge of your life every day? Then you’ll have absolutely nothing to fear—neither your sudden death, nor even the end of the world. Just Think a Minute…

37th year of the wedding that nearly did not happen

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate’...” (Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in Mark 10:6-9, the Holy Bible). -ooo QUIET 37TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY, THANK GOD IN THE NAME OF JESUS: On May 18, 2017, by God’s grace and permission, my wife, the former judge, the incumbent All Star President of the Rotary Club of Intramuros, and the ever-sharp and brilliant practising lawyer today, Angelina Domingo Mauricio, and myself, would be celebrating our 37th wedding anniversary. There would be no fan-

fare of the kind that we used to have in the earlier years of our marriage. Instead, the day would be spent doing what Jesus, our God and Savior, prepared for us to be doing. For her and our daughter Luisa (who, thank God in the Name of Jesus, is also a lawyer now working for the government), they would be discharging their respective works as lawyers and, for my wife, as a Rotarian. As far as I am concerned, I would be leading a live-in seminar for the members of the Anak ng Diyos Kadugo Ni Kristo (AND KNK, or the Children of God Blood Kin of the Christ) Church, as well as a youth camp for the Church members’ children, in Subic Bay, Olongapo City, to strengthen further the capacity of AND KNK members to individually proclaim the Word of God, and save souls by virtue of that proclamation.

-ooo NOT PUSH THROUGH: I have already written various accounts of how my wife and I met while we were still law students at the University of the Philippines College of Law in Diliman, Quezon City, right here in this column, but, for whatever it is worth, I want to put on record today that our marital union through a church ceremony on May 18, 1980 (and through a civil ceremony on April 16, 1980) nearly failed to push through. I remember that I was still financially handicapped in the 1980s, despite the fact that I was already a staff reporter of the newspaper Daily Express then. I was horrified that whatever savings I had then, and whatever available money my parents had then, proved to be insufficient for the expenses for the wedding, particularly for the recep-

tion at a famous restaurant in Quezon City. Burdened with that difficulty, my mother, Mrs. Salvacion Haber Lazo Mauricio from Ilocos Sur, brought me to her relatives to in the evening of May 17, 1980, to try to borrow from them. Unfortunately, however, money was tight even for the relatives, and so we went home forlorn. Because of that, I was sleepless in our house in Lagro, Quezon City, although I felt God would not leave me alone in that problem! -ooo LATE FOR MY OWN WEDDING 37 YEARS

AGO: On the day of the wedding itself, not knowing what to do, I fetched the photographer who was to take pictures of my wife (he was an officemate of my late father, Melanio Pauco Mauricio Sr. of Ramos, Tarlac) as she dressed up for the ceremonies. The wedding was to be held at the Holy Trinity Parish in Sampaloc, Manila. I brought him to the Sampaloc residence of her family, and then I went back to Lagro. I miscalculated the time! Because of the lengthy distance, it took me and my parents and siblings a lot of time to go back to Sampaloc

– THE REAL DEAL Suzuki Jimny JLX MT GILBERT Y. CHAO - Motoring Editor

With its compact size coupled with conventional rugged styling, it is understandable why most people find the Suzuki Jimny quite endearing. Yet, what makes it more likable is that this little 4X4 is not just nice to look at, it is also fun to drive. Propelling the Jimny is a 1.3-liter four cylinder DOHC 16 V gasoline engine which churns out 81 hp @ 5,500 rpm and 110 Nm @ 4,500 rpm. It may not seem much paper but such modest numbers are more than enough to endow the 1,075-kilogram Jimny a peppy performance. Handling is pleasurably light and its boxy dimensions make it easier to navigate through congested urban roads. Getting into tight mall parking slots was never this easy.

Huge windows also offer excellent all-around visibility and the tall driver’s seat gives you a commanding view of the road ahead. The ride is just a tad firm but not to the point of discomfort. Though it only has three doors (two in front, one at the back), the Jimny accommodates 4 passengers (including the driver). The cabin might feel a bit snug if you regularly ride with full-sized adults but kids will be perfectly happy at the back. Even with all seats occupied, you still have 113 liters of cargo space at the back. The Jimny has been around for quite a while and it is evident with the rather dated feel of the interior. The entertainment system of the JLX loaner I’ve tested also seemed a little too basic. I suppose Suzuki didn’t imagine

Jimny buyers to be fiddling with the radio while sitting in traffic. Do not be fooled by its cuteness, the Jimny is designed to go off-road. With a 190mm ground clearance, you’d be able to tackle rugged terrain or cross shallow streams. There’s hardly any overhang on either side so you can take on steep angles like a pro off-roader. Switching from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive is just as easy. You can select 2WD, 4WD or 4WD-L by just pressing a button. At P 790, 000, the Jimny is probably one

introduced in India. The exterior design realises sedan-like flowing silhouette, while enhancing userfriendliness of a sedan by securing large rear leg and luggage space.

“Kisawa Elementary School joins nationwide Earthquake Drill”

By Nelzorfe A. Codilla

It was last September 28, 2016 at exactly 9:00 in the morning, where Kisawa Elementary School teaching force from kinder to grade six pupils together with the parents and all the schools in the Philippines has performed the simultaneous earthquake drill. Prior to the conduct of the said activity, the school Officer in Chage Mr. Frederick L. Tande organized the School Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) with Mrs.

Marlyn T. Ramoso as the School Disaster Risk and Management Coordinator (DRMC). This is to equip, update and upgrade the teachers, parents and pupils the proper behavior and actions when earthquake comes/attacks. The School principal Mr. Jess G. Bernas said that the program is very beneficial to all of the people in the community. So, there is no reason for any school not to support it. Upon hearing the long bell, the pupils were made to position themselves under the chairs and tables.

Then they queued with their books and bags on their heads and moved outside the classroom where it is safe. Here all pupils were intact in the school ground in the few minutes. Thankfully, a short lecture was then given on the proper manners before, during and after an earthquake drill by the members of the committee of DRMC. Lastly, it was a very successful seminarworkshop and pupils and parents gained knowledge that would serve them as shield when disaster comes.

“Great Teachers”

By Hansinperl Mendez – Codilla

Educating the youth is one of the advantageous and beneficial services that teachers can bestow and contribute in school. They perform different duties and it is in these circumstances that they face new provocations. Sometimes they confer with their zealous heart for their work when they sense the need of doing it. They even bring about endurance in their dealings. Thus, people who witness can hear positive descriptions about it. But, what if they don’t feel like doing it? When things they encounter seem

difficult to handle? When they feel lazy to do their duty? Surely, one will be discouraged, leaving the craft behind. Here then, will the defects of their human weaknesses emerge. The wicked gradually will work through the minds of man. The material things they had anticipated as payment for their services blind them. And in this, they blank out the true essence of service, or maybe they tend to disregard it.

But despite that, there is the time to alter and hopefully it is now. Let them modify their wrongful objectives and motivations to sustain what they have embedded. Let them embed their perceptions by doing good service and by loving their work to make a big difference in the lives of young people. Let them do their best in what they are doing, heartily and with dedication to catch the meaning of authentic service. With all these, it’s no wonder that it’s hard to find great teachers.

KIDAPAWAN CITY -- An alleged leader of a drug syndicate who was rescued from the Cotabato district jail here by around a hundred armed men who stormed the jail on January 4 was recaptured in his hideout in this city on Friday. Melvin Tiangao Casangyao, considerted the most “high-risk” among 158 inmates who bolted jail, was recaptured at around 8:20 a.m. on Friday inside his hideout at Barangay Onica, a press release from the Cotabato Provincial Police Office (CPPO) said. Casangyao, who faces several drug trafficking charges, is reportedly one of the leaders of a big-time drug syndicate operating in North Cotabato and other parts of south and central Mindanao. Evidences gathered by the CPPO showed it was Casangyao who allegedly hired the group of Com-

mander Derby to rescue him on January 4, 2017. Derby is also a fugitive who escaped from the provincial jail last year. The transactions accordingly happened when Derby was still inside prison. On January 4, Derby and his group stormed the jail and rescued Casangyao and 157 other inmates, many of them facing drug trafficking charges. Among those killed during the attack was Jail Officer 1 Hexel Rey Desibo. Also killed was Barangay councilman Satar Manalundong of Barangay Patadon, this city, who was mistakenly identified as among those that masterminded the attack. Until now, relatives of Manalundong are still seeking justice for his death. They denied accusations hurled against him. Of the 158 inmates who See rescued, page 11

committees “to work on the sections on the agrarian reform and rural development and National Industrialization and Economic Development.” During the fourth round of talks, the reciprocal working committees on CASER exchanged their respective comparative “color-coded matrices” identifying both contentious and acceptable provisions of the CASER drafts submitted by both parties. These contentious provisions were then clustered into nine major topics: coverage, confiscation, compensation, lease/ leaseback and plantations, international agreements/domestic law, political power/implementation mechanisms, land use, private insurance, and terminologies. Mariano said the results of the meetings of the bilateral teams will be presented in the next round of talks. He said both parties agreed on free land distribution as the “basic principle” of agrarian reform. In the fifth round of talks, the reciprocal working committees will discuss and work on the remaining items under Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (Part IV), National Industrialization and Economic Development (Part V), Environmental Protection, Rehabilitation and Compensation (Part VI), and the outputs of the bilateral teams. “(Kami) nakikiisa sa mamamayan natin na magkakaroon pa ng substantial na progreso ang peace negotiations (We are one with our people in their aspiration for substantial progress in the peace negotiations),” he said.

Agriculture sector to take advantage of crowdsourcing technologies FAO and PSA test the potential of crowdsourcing to enhance real-time crop forecasting PAMPANGA – Could farmers with cellular phones be key to improving the speed and reliability of crop production forecasts? This is the subject of an ongoing pilot exercise being conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) with the support of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The project is assessing the potential of SMS-based crowdsourcing technologies to strengthen agricultural market information systems. “Timely crop forecasts are vital in addressing food price volatility, which has strong implications on the

vehicles if they are compliant before their franchise could be renewed. Rudy Concepcion, 52, a taxi driver for more than 10 years, said he has no problem observing the antidistracted driving law. For veteran motorists like him, driving without distraction has been his practice. The problem, he said, are the new drivers who tend to use their electronic gadgets while driving. First-time violators will pay a penalty of P5,000, P10,000 for the second offense, and P15,000 for the third offense with a threemonth suspension of driver’s license. Violations committed beyond the third offense will be penalized with the revocation of driver’s license and a fine of P20,000. The law covers both public and private vehicles, including wheeled agricultural machineries, construction equipment, and other forms of conveyances such as bicycles, pedicabs, trolleys, “habal-habal” (motorcycle for hire), and other forms of transportation either human-powered or pulled by animal as long as the same are operated or driven in public thoroughfares, highway or streets.

economy and is very closely tied to issues such as hunger and poverty,” said FAO Representative in the Philippines José Luis Fernández. Crowdsourcing, a method of gathering information or resources from a crowd of people through the use of technological platforms, offers vast opportunities to improve the flow of information but has been largely untapped by the agriculture sector. As an agricultural country where mobile technologies have deeply penetrated even the most remote areas, FAO sees the Philippines as an ideal location to test how effectively farm-level, realtime information could be collected through SMS or text messaging. The information would then aid the preparation of crop production forecasts that can serve as a basis for planning and policymaking. Control group Nearly 300 rice farmers in Pampanga have joined the control group and are sending text messages containing real-time information on standing crops, production area and volume, and other growing conditions such as irrigation. PSA then consolidates and processes the data using a computerized Crowdsourcing Data Collection and Quality Control System

(CrowdSS) that automatically computes the quarterly rice forecast. “The study is going well so far and participating farmers are equally enthusiastic in this new method of data gathering. The potential of this project is very promising as it gives a glimpse of how modern statistics can facilitate the exchange of reliable, relevant and accurate information with anyone through every means possible,” explained Reynaldo Vallesteros, Supervising Statistical Specialist of PSA. The testing phase for palay [paddy rice] production is expected to conclude in June 2017, and will provide adequate information on the feasibility and cost-benefit ratio of using crowdsourcing in agriculture. “At the end of this study, we hope to find that the

system works and proves to be the solution we have been looking for. The end goal is increase access to adequate information that can help avoid breakdowns in the food value chain. Addressing food needs and maintaining normal market behavior also requires knowing the expected availability of produce in a country. The result of this exercise will not only help the Philippines but also other countries that are seeking to find new ways of enhancing their forecasting processes,” Fernández added. The FAO-PSA project is part of a larger multi-country FAO programme funded by the Bill and Malinda Gates Foundation entitled “Strengthening Agricultural Market Information Systems globally and in selected countries using innovative methods and digital technology.”
