Family of Maute hostage hopeful for safe release By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN, Contributing Editor

SAN Francisco, Agusan del Sur--The family of a school staff who was among those abducted by Maute terrorist group in the Marawi siege is still hoping for her safe release seven days after their captivity. Malou Abao, younger sister of kidnap victim Archilly Abao who works as a staff of a principal of Dansalan College Foundation, said her mother Cecillia Abao Caldeo and the rest of family members , even though they were worried and sleepless, are hopeful with the divine intervention for her freedom soon. “God will deliver her from harm because she is righteous and we have strong faith with that,” Malou said, adding that they are now in Binuangan town in Misamis Oriental where they offer prayers as devoPicture of the kidnap victim Archilly Abao posted on tees of the Shrine See FAMILY, page 15

‘Satisfactory,’ say 15 senators on martial law mark francisco, Section Editor EDITOR: RUEL V. PELONE

FIFTEEN out of 23 senators are supporting President Rodrigo Duterte’s declaration of martial law in Mindanao. The 15 senators said that Senate Resolution no. 388, also known as the martial law in Mindanao, signed on Monday is “satisfactory, constitutional, and in accordance with the law.” “The Senate hereby supports fully Proclamation No. 216 and finds no compelling reason to revoke the same,” the resolution read. The 15 senators who voted in favor of the martial law are all the members of the majority bloc of the senate. “The acts committed by the Maute group are an open attempt to remove from the

allegiance to the Philippine Government the part of Mindanao and deprive the Chief Executive of its powers and prerogatives to enforce laws of the land and to maintain public order and safety in Mindanao, hence constitutes the crime of rebellion,” the resolution read. Meanwhile, eight senators, all whom belong to the minority bloc, and another two from the majority bloc did not sign the senate resolution. The senators who voted ‘yes’ for martial law in Mindanao: 1. Senate President Aquilino Pimentel III 2. Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto

BECAUSE I have other priorities, I was the last in our group of seven to have owned a cellular phone. About three years ago, I considered buying one for me a luxury. But late last year, I bought one, after I sensed having it had become a matter of necessity. While my friends’ cellfones are the expensive ones, I settled to buying something that is quite inexpensive, something that cannot read graphics. For fear its manufacturer would get back at me, I will not mention the brand of my cell. It’s enough for me that it can serve the fundamental purpose—that is, to get me to know where my friends are or to have a conduit between me and someone I have never seen yet in person—meaning, my texting mates. Back then, I must confess I have become a text addict. I texted just anybody—my officemates, classmates in high school, friends—at anytime from dusk to dawn. Their usual replies until

I introduced myself to her. But of course, everything was ersatz or pranktexts. Yet, we became text pals and we exchanged greetings every morning, noon and evening. I even called her up. She had a nice, lovely (or, tempting) voice I almost forgot I am a married man. Until it came to a point wherein I missed her text messages or calls. I believed she felt the same too. Indeed, everything between us went on smoothly until I felt I could no longer allow myself to fool my own self. So I told her the truth: that I am 30 years old, that I am a married man and have a son, and so on and so forth. After that incident, she texted me and her message was to this effect: that I am too old for her and that I do not belong to her generation. I got mad. I called her up and explained to her that we both belonged to the same generation: the e-generation and the text generation whose eyes are glued on MYX or MTV,

Dawson’s Creek, Spiderman, chatting and surfing the net, etc. I told my wife about it. And it was good enough she understood that the situation was a plain texting matter. No more, no less. Of course, I should not have done that. But, according to my teacher in college, what has been done cannot be undone! Anyway, I swear to my wife I will no longer text just anybody anymore. And to prove that, I crushed my SIM pack in front of her, using our Stanley hammer. And how about the unit? Well, I am planning to either exhibit it in our divider or donate it to a local museum. After all, it looked like an antique. (This essay first appeared in The Midweek Herald, now defunct, in 2002) *** Email me at rgmoldez@ gmail.com

Never mind the free text! Until I realized being a “text addict” would not do me any good, especially with my pockets. So I slowed down. I texted only the persons I know, asked latest updates about their jobs, their families and share some views about the Abu Sayyaf, about Kris Aquino’s garb while hosting Game KNB, about the progress of early evening soap operas, etc. As I turned 30, however, I sensed I am old enough to sending jokes and nonsense messages to my friends. But the experience I had shortly after my birthday last April 10 was something “traumatic.” Here was a woman who introduced herself to be 19 years old, to be from Cebu City and would be entering the proper medicine course in the coming school opening.

creativity of our lawmakers and education officials seem to have gone the depths one more time. Imagine, the best they could do to help hapless young children across the nation attain education is to enable their teachers to buy chalk! It would have been alright if this supposed allowance to buy chalk had been made available to teachers already, at least before the opening of schools first week next month. Unfortunately, however, our honorable lawmakers from the Lower House of Congress have not even acted yet to pass the law that would authorize the release of this chalk allowance even at this late time! -oooRP EDUCATION PROGRAM: “ALL AIR, NO FORCE”: Sadly, this typifies the overall attitude of many men and women in government who have been tasked to see to it that Fili-

Indeed, it is unfortunate that Department of Education officials, and many others in government like our congressmen and senators, are very much like the derided “air force” unit of a military organization long gone---there is only “air”, no “force” whatsoever, in that unit. This is why I always feel happy knowing that someone, somehow, somewhere, in his or her own small way, is doing something truly concrete, to enable poor but deserving students to study, by becoming full scholars even without any single centavo coming from the government. -oooROSS TAYAG: TRUE CHAMPION OF FILIPINO KID EDUCATION: I refer to what Paniqui, Tarlac Vice Mayor Ross Tayag is doing

Prosperidad town, Agusan del Sur bags Rice Achievers Hall of Fame By RHEA C. ABAO

Prosperidad is a Spanish word for prosperity. True to its name, the municipality of Prosperidad in Agusan del Sur has prospered to be an outstanding rice producer in Caraga Region. It bagged for the third time the Outstanding Municipality for the 2016 Rice Achievers Award in the national level. The Rice Achievers Award (RAA) is an annual event organized by the Department of Agriculture to recognize the outstanding

This is to encourage commitment and ensure excellent performance of our LGU stakeholders of their respective functions and responsibilities. The success of Prosperidad town of being an awardee for three consecu-

tive years (2014, 2015 and 2016) is attributed to the collaborative efforts of the national, provincial and municipal governments in implementing programs and projects for rice farming. The municipality maintained an average yield of 5 metric tons per hectare for irrigated areas, four metric tons per hectare for rainfed in the last three years. “There are various contributing factors for our success. One of these is the increase in area planted to hybrid rice and certified seeds through High Yield-

ing Technology Adoption (HYTA) and High Quality Seeds Assistance Program from the Department of Agriculture. Another factor is the input production support to farmers or irrigators association for crop protection and production especially in identified low-yielding areas,” said Municipal Agriculturist Marlita Cortez.

Davao Mayor backs ‘localized peace talks’ with NPA rebels DAVAO CITY -- Davao City Mayor Sara DuterteCarpio welcomed moves to hold “localized peace talks” with the New People’s Army (NPA) as long as the rebels will put aside their firearms and stop their offensive operations. She issued this statement Tuesday morning after the Government of the Philippines (GRP) and the National Democratic Front (NDF) fifth round of talks in The Netherlands hit a snag, as a result of the Communist Party of the Philippines’s call for the NPA rebels to step up attacks on government forces in opposition to the

declaration of martial law. The mayor said she is “setting aside personal feelings towards the rebels over her pursuit towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict.” “I have no choice... I’ll push things that I think can make the city better and (one) of them is the localized peace talks,” she said. She emphasized on the need for the rebels to set side their firearms and stop offensive operations before any localized peace talks can start. “I am always open, but we cannot sit down if they continue their offensive op-

erations against the people, against the Armed Forces of the Philippines,” she said. The mayor stressed it would be hard to start talking with the rebels when there are still people killed due to the “indiscriminate planting of improvised explosive device (IED).” Duterte -Carpio said the NPA should also show its sincerity by stopping attacks while talks are ongoing. She added she has been continuously receiving reports of atrocities in the hinterlands. Earlier, the mayor even offered to talk with the NPA rebels and jobs to the NPA as an organization. PNA

An advocacy group for passenger safety is urging the Department of Transportation ( DOTr ) to set clear guidelines on the enforcement of the Anti-Distracted Driving Act (ADDA) to avoid confusion among motorists. The Lawyers for Commuters Safety and Protection (LCSP) said it supports the implementation of the law as it would ensure road safety through prohibiting the use of mobile devices and electronic gadgets by motorists while driving their vehicles. However, the group wants a clarification on why drivers of both public and private vehicles must clear their dashboards of rosaries, figurines, toys and other unauthorized car accessories. “It is very clear that the coverage on the law only applies to mobile phones and electronic gadgets. We are wondering why rosaries hanging under rear view mirrors or any accessories on dashboards are also prohibited. Does it have any legal basis?” LCSP President Atty. Ariel Inton said in a statement. “Though we may consider them as distractions, these are not gadgets such as cellphones or headphones and are not covered under the law,” he added. The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has said drivers of private and

public utility vehicles should clear their dashboards of figurines, toys, and other unauthorized car accessories until May 26. LTFRB board member and spokesperson Aileen Lizada said in a radio interview that rosaries hanging under rearview mirrors , small images of saints, and stuffed toys on the dashboard that can affect the driver’s line of sight are prohibited. Motorists are also banned from eating, drinking, or putting on makeup while on the road, even while temporarily stopped. Lizada said these prohibitions are under the Department of Transportation’s 2014 Joint Administrative Order (JAO). Penalties for violators include a fine of PHP 5,000 and the vehicle could be impounded. The LCSP proposed that the DOTr should conduct a dry run before fully implementing the law and review the prohibitions under the said act. “There must be a clear legal basis for these regulations. We are worried that traffic enforcers on the ground are not given specific guidelines on the implementation and this might cause misunderstanding. We must not overstretch the coverage of the AntiDistracted Driving Act,” Inton reiterated. It also urged Congress to make the necessary amendments that will clarify any

ambiguities that may arise on the enforcement of the ADDA. The Inter-Agency Council for Traffic (I-ACT) will hold a special board meeting on Tuesday to discuss the regulations in the AntiDistracted Driving Law. PNA

Martial Law : Solusyon nga ba sa Pagsugpo ng Terorismo? Ni ARMANDO A. AGUSTIN (Bukidnon National High School)

Inatake ng Maute Group--- kilalang teroristang grupo ng bansa ang Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, noong Mayo 23,2017. Ayon sa balita, kinubkob ng mga terorista ang isang ospital at sinunog ang simbahan doon. Nagkaroon ng labanan sa pagitan ng Maute Group at mga sundalo dahilan upang masawi ang ilang miyembro ng mga terorista at mga sundalo. Nadamay din sa sagupaan ang ilang inosenteng sibilyan. Habang nasa Moscow, Russia, dineklara ni Pangu-

long Rodrigo Roa Duterte ang Martial Law sa buong Mindanao. Pinutol ni Duterte ang pagbisita sa Russia at agad na bumalik sa Pilipinas. Sa kanyang talumpati sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), sinabi niyang dineklara niya ang martial law upang mapigilan ang pagkalat ng kaguluhan sa Mindanao dahil sa mga terorista. Maraming mga mambabatas ang sumang-ayon at ilang grupo at sektor ang tumutol sa binitiwang

deklarasyon ng president. Isinasaad sa ating kalasukuyang Saligang Batas Artikulo 7, Sekyon 18 na ang Pangulo ang mayhawak sa sandatahang lakas at kung kinakailangan ay gamitin niya ito upang pigilan ang anumang karahasan, pananakop at pag-aaklas. Kung sakaling magkaroon ng pananakop at pag-aaklas, at kung namimiligro ang kaligtasan ng mamamayan, maaring hindi lalagpas sa 60

araw ay isuspende ang writ of habeas corpus o ilagay ang Pilipinas o anumang bahagi nito sa Martial Law. Dumaan na ang bansa sa martial law. Gayunpaman, hindi natin malilimutan ang nangyaring Batas Millitar sa panahon ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos kung saan ang militar ay umabuso sa kanilang kapangyarihan. Marami ang namatay at na-truma dahil sa martial law. Kaya, ganoon na lamang

pangamba ng mamamayan na nawa’y hindi na maulit ang malagim na pangyayaring nagmarka sa kasaysayan. Ayon sa mga nakaranas ng kasamaan at pangaabuso noong panahon ng martial law sa ilalim ng panunungkulan ni Marcos, ang batas militar ay hindi sulosyon sa pagsugpo ng terorismo. Alang-alang sa kaligtasan ng mga mamamayan, kinakailangan pa rin ang solusyon sa mapayapang

paraan. Ayon naman kay Pangulong Duterte napilitan siyang ideklara ang Martial Law dahil sa hindi mabibilang ang dami ng mga teroristang grupo. Nagsanib pwersa na ang abu sayaf, maute group at ISIS. Ganoon na lamang ang kanyang pangamba sa mga mamamayan at gusto na niyang wakasan ang terorista sa Mindanao. Dugtong pa niya “I will be harsh in dealing with the terrorists”.

God will do something just for us to believe of this existence The Gospel of Jesus Christ (May31, 2017-Wednesday)Mark 9:2-10” Elijah appeared to them along with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came

out of the cloud, “This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!” All at once they looked around and saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone. As they were coming down from the mountain, He gave them orders not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until the Son of Man rose from the dead. They seized upon that statement, discussing with one another what ris-

ing from the dead meant: Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” But He said to him, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.” Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home.” But Jesus said to him, “No one, after put-

ting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. This is also the same to each one of us that God will do something just for us to believe of his existence in our lives. Just open your eyes of faith for you to see his miraculous intervention in your life. Believe always that if God is our companion, life is wonderful and meaningful. Take

note, the appearance of Moses and Elijah are concrete evidence that a soul is real. You will accept it or not, you have a soul to take care and nurture by the words of God. Be careful in your soul because hell is not a nice place to stay forever: Printing paid by: Edith Ranoa - Jordan and Crespina Ranoa - Bobong Balino– Cagayan De Oro: # 09187148435:

of Our Lady of Lourdes. She, however, admitted their mother was really worried until now about the fate of her second child but prayers kept her going strong and hopeful for her safety from the hands of the Maute group. Archilly and an undetermined number of hostages from Dansalan Colleges were abducted on May 23 at the height of the siege in Marawi City. Even they were already in captivity at around 2 p.m. on that day Archilly was still able to text and call her mother. “Please pray for us as the war is raging now,” Malou recalls that was her sister last call and they were no longer in contact since then. A school worker who was able to escape when the Maute bandits came confided to them that a picture of Father Teresito Suganob along with three other ladies and partially hidden woman in blue dress could her sister as he recalled that was the same suit she wore when their captors came. The picture was widely circulated on Facebook a few days later. The Abaos initially learned about the abduction from the private message conversation of Mirnife Macopa-Guro from

Marawi City which mentioned among the hostages were Archilly and five other teachers. “Taken hostage were Ma’am Saguin, Ma’am Cusap, Acopio, Jhonrey, Ma’am Archilly, Ma’am Dyna and Ma’am Ruby and many other teachers of Dansalan College,” the message of Guro reads. It reads further that the hostages were hogtied to be brought to a place called Banggolo where they could be beheaded. “We are fervently praying that God will touch the hearts of their captors and free them,” Malou said.

Proclamation no. 216 signed by President Duterte following the attack of the Maute group in Marawi City. Liberal Party President Kiko Pangilinan also vowed to oppose nationwide martial law declaration if President

Duterte plans to do it. “While there may be isolated terrorist acts in these areas, there exists no Visayas-wide nor a Luzonwide invasion or rebellion to merit the declaration of martial law as allowed under our Constitution,” Pangilinan said. “Absent any nationwide

rebellion or invasion, we will vigorously oppose a nationwide martial law declaration,” he added. According to the Proclamation 216. President Duterte forced to declare Martial Law in the whole island of Mindanao because the attack of the Maute Terrorist Group in Marawi City

was the start of their mission to build an ISIS stronghold in the Philippines. The report also said that “the recent attack shows the capability of the Maute group and other rebel groups to sow terror, and cause death and damage to property not only in Lanao del Sur but also in other parts of Mindanao.”

Spokesperson Ernesto Abella said in a statement. He added that while cooperation between the branches of government is necessary, public support is also equally vital to restore law and order in Mindanao. “The President has acted swiftly and decisively to suppress the ongoing rebellion in Marawi and to prevent its spread in the provinces of Mindanao. However, the executive branch cannot do it alone. We need the cooperation of the entire government and the support of our people to finally flush out the evil forces, restore normalcy, and bring peace to the island of Mindanao,” Abella said. Senate Resolution 388, signed by 15 senators as co-authors, was filed in the Senate to express support to the declaration of martial law in Mindanao. “The Senate finds the issuance of Proclamation No. 216 to be satisfactory, constitutional and in accordance with the law. The Senate hereby supports fully Proclamation No. 216 and finds no compelling reason to revoke the same,” the resolution said. The res olution was signed by Senate President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III, Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto, Majority Leader Vicente Sotto III, and Senators Sonny Angara, Nancy Binay, JV Ejercito, Sherwin Gatchalian, Richard Gordon, Gringo Honasan, Panfilo Lacson, Loren Legarda, Manny Pacquiao, Joel Villanueva, Cynthia Villar, at Miguel Zubiri.
