Greenpeace: The rejection of Gina is a rejection of change

By RUEL V. PELONE Managing Editor

AFTER the third rounds of confirmation hearings, the Commission on Appointment (CA) chaired by boxing icon Senator Manny Pacquiao yesterday knocked out “literally” the ad interim appointment of Ms Gina Lopez as secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

Lopez is the second Cabinet member of the Duterte administration to be rejected by the powerful CA, wrote Filane Mikee Cervantes of the government-run Philippine News Agency.

Last March, the report said, Perfecto Yasay’s appointment as Foreign Affairs Secretary was rejected by the CA after his failure to disclose the details of his citizenship. The CA’s rejection of Lopez’ appointment

came after she faced strong opposition over her decision to close and suspend several mines in previous CA hearings on her appointment.

In a press statement, Bayan Muna partylist Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate expressed “grave disappointment” after the CA rejected Lopez saying “it is a blow in the fight against the plunder of our natural resources and protection of our environment.”

“We hope that the Palace will appoint a successor that will also approximate if not exceed Secretary Gina’s ardent advocacy for the environment and no nonsense fight against destructive mining and corporate greed,” said Zarate.

“Lopez is one of the few who was able to stand up and challenge the status quo. Her heart is in the right place. I fully See AFTER, page 7

Rebels apologize, offer indemnity to civilian hit by IED

By Antonio L. Colina IV of MindaNews

One year old Aldrin Tanto was among three bloodied children rushed to the Provincial Hospital in Shariff Aguak town on Tuesday afternoon,03 May 2017 following an anti-illegal drugs operation in Rajah Buayan town. He and his sister Maharra are recuperating in the hospital but brother Hassan died at the emergency room.

THE National Democratic Front-Southern Mindanao Region has apologized to the family of a civilian who was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED) during an attack on Saturday by the New People’s Army (NPA) on plants owned by Lapanday Foods Corporation in Barangay Mandug.

Larry Buenafe, a fish vendor, was seriously wounded when the rebels detonated the IED on soldiers from Task Force Davao who responded to the attack.

The rebels also offered to give indemnification to Buenafe.

In a statement, NDFP-SMR spokesperson Rubi del Mundo requested third party facilitators like church people, medical practitioners and civil libertarians to facilitate the indemnification.

Citing a report of the the NPA’s 1st Pulang Bagani Battalion, del Mundo said that the rebels carried out the IED attacks against the soldiers in Barangay Tigatto after the NPA unit attacked the LFC box and plastic plants in nearby Barangay Mandug.

“The blaster-operator saw that Mr. Buenafe was far from the target military vehicle and proceeded to detonate the explosives. The shock waves and splinter, See rebels, page 7

War on drugs: Ma, 2 kids killed; 2 younger ones still in hospital

By Carolyn O. Arguillas of MindaNews

A mother and her two children were killed while her two younger children are still recuperating at the provincial hospital of Maguindanao following a joint police-military operations in Barangay Panadtaban, Rajah Buayan town Tuesday afternoon against suspected drug personali-

ties including the husband and father of the slain and injured victims.

Rajah Buayan Mayor Zamzamin Ampatuan was still awaiting official reports from the police and the military as of 7 a.m. Wednesday but he told MindaNews that he had spoken with police investigators who said the operation was “to serve search warrant on targeted drug den” in the village

and that the operation was cleared with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.

The mayor said the Techical Suport Platoon of the Maguindanao Police Public Safety Company headed by Senior Inspector Boloy conducted the operation with support from the Army in the area, against the target, Welly Akil Utto alias Akung, allegedly a member of the Bangsamoro Islamic Free-

dom Fighters (BIFF), who is a “drug trader and user.”

Ampatuan said that while the police were about to serve the warrant signed

by Judge Beroya, they were fired upon so they returned fire.

“Di nila daw alam na may mga sibilyan dahil sa pagmanman (They said they didn’t know there were civilians around because when they monitored) the day

before, the subject house was marked as drug den na meeting place ng seller at buyer,” the mayor said.

The operatives recovered a firearm, four motorccyles, shabu and parapheranlia, he added.

The mayor acknowledged there was “failure of intelligence” and apparently a leak in the police operations because as soon as the operatives got off

their vehicles, they were immediately fired upon.

Sad “It is indeed sad that innocent persons such as (the children) get killed … pero itong mga kriminal walang pakialam…. halang ang kaluluwa ng mga kriminal na ito,” (but these criminals don’t care), Ampatuan said.

“Criminals are not sad… even if the one killed is See HOSPITAL, page 6

Rural Transit (Mindanao) Inc. (RTMI), in Bulua, this city, has sought the reduction of the regular one way fare rates from PHP 145.00 to PHP 85.00.

Estologa also asked that the reduction of the special privilege rate of PHP 115.00 be also reduced to PHP 85.00.

Lao said that the request was made on humanitarian consideration, especially during the flood, in order to alleviate the plight of people residing in flood prone areas that devastate the cities of Cagayan De Oro and Iligan City and its surrounding areas.

More bandits to surrender: Military exec Z AMB OANGA City–– The military commander in the island province of Sulu is confident “that more members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) will surrender to government authorities.”

Brig. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana Jr., commander of Joint Task Force Sulu, on Wednesday said “there are indicators the ASG is now feeling the heat” of the intense military operations against them “As we speak, there is fighting ongoing,” Sobejana told the Philippines News Agency, but he declined to give details as “this might affect their operations.”

The military has intensified its intelligence operation and launched “focused military operations” against the Abu Sayyaf, a “precise tactical offensive” to ensure the safety its more than 20 hostages and to prevent collateral damages.

Last week, two followers of Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan surrendered to the authorities amid intense military operations.

Sobejana identified them as Udon Hashim and Haidal Kimar. They also surrendered their high-powered See MORE, page 7

AFTER hibernating for some time, this column, again, wanted to retire to oblivion. However, public demand always compelled this writer to rev up once again, like a roaring engine ready to race to infinity. My apology to the followers of this column, particularly the readers in Bukidnon who sent an inquiry, albeit unexpectedly on the sudden disappearance of the Cynosure. Not anymore folks, we would try to be around, once again.

Nonetheless, despite the long absence, the Cynosure is pretty aware of what’s going on around the buzz.

One thing that really challenged the imagination of the common folks (like the Cynosure) is the issue about “human rights.” Indeed, the human rights issue has catapulted the Philippines to international prominence.

There is no doubt that some non-government organizations (NGOs) in other countries wanted to dip their “dirty” fingers in the Philippines under pretext of using the “human rights” issue as a tool.

Understandably, the NGOs in other countries want to boost their financial coffers, and the only legitimate issue

to convince the prospective donors is to find some countries that they could bully. And, they did. The United Nation’s Human Rights advocates were the first to try the mettle of the Philippine government.

Other NGOs in Europe also tried to follow suit. Yet, with a Philippine President who knows where he stands, the foreign-dominated human rights group simply shut up. President Duterte has also accused the international human rights group of keeping a blind eye about the atrocities committed by other countries around the world.

For instance, the human rights group accused Duterte of killing about 8,000 people as the government carried out a serious drive against the illegal drug trade in the country. But, what did the human rights

With dubious witnesses in the like of Edgar Matobato, a self-confessed killer and SPO3 Arturo Lascañas, a retired police officer, who once denied being part of the Davao Death Squad, but recanted and admitted to part of DDS, the ICC would definitely throw the case into the dustbin.

In fact, the country’s luminaries had already agreed that the case against Duterte in the ICC would not prosper for some technicalities.

For instance, the ICC would only prosecute individuals for the “international crimes of genocide,” “crimes against humanity,” and “war crimes.” Another thing, the ICC would only entertain cases when the court of law in a country ceases to function. The court of law in the Philippines functions according to its constitutional mandate. Thus, there is no ground for the ICC to entertain the case filed by Mr. Sabio in the ICC. There is a saying that “the man’s folly would go back to his own body.” From the looks of it, the various cases, like disbarment, filed against Jude Sabio in the Philippine courts might give him a dose of his own medicine.

do to curtail the atrocious killing of indigenous peoples around the world, particularly in Brazil, Canada, and Australia, where the rights of the indigenous peoples remained unprotected to this day?

In Brazil, about 300,000 IPs were killed since 2004 and until recently as illegal loggers went into genocide of the tribal communities there. Of what significance the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), adopted on September 13, 2007?

Certainly, it is unfair for the human rights group to accuse the Philippine government of extra-judicial killing when it is waging a legitimate campaign to address the menace of the PHP 120 billion illegal drug trade in the country. Now comes a lawyer who wants to find a place in the sun by lodging a criminal case against President Duterte in the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague in the Netherlands.

Perhaps, Jude Sabio, a lawyer who hails from Misamis Oriental, could have been taken by emotion or simply being deceived in bringing the case to the ICC.

know such people who betray us and sometimes a whole nation.

A Jewish mob tried to throw Christ down a cliff, but nothing happened. Soldiers tried to arrest Him, but nothing happened. The Pharisees tried to entrap Him to no effect. It needed a friend -maybe a good friend! - To betray Him. He escaped from all, but not from the treason of a friend. “It would have been better for that man if he had not been born!” No such sentence was hurled, for example, to Pilate or Herod.

The lesson for all of us is very clear. A bad politician or one of our neighbors can be the foulest thing on earth. A bad pagan cannot be a 1/10 corrupt.

“Do not betray another man’s confidence!” The bible

teaches us. But Judases can be found everywhere. Just as fire is not born from snow, so is the seeker after worldly honors not seeking heavenly ones. Or have you ever seen the snow catches fire?

The maladroit politician named Judas betrays his voter and elector thru beautiful soft promises while corrupting a whole nation. The neighbor, who declares how much he loves his family while going on unhindered destroying the environment is also named Judas....

Judas’ sins are really not rare. We commit it every day.

Someone who had changed his ideals away from the ideals of the church and declares it to the world, anyone who leaves the church or the religious order and proclaims it to the world,

The destructive love affair

GENERALLY, there is nothing wrong of a lady police colonel to fall in love with any man, no matter the gap in age, occupation, race or whatever.

To the old adage, “love is blind and lovers cannot see” is still true to this day of nuclear weapons. It can stand proudly more especially, in these days when same sex marriage is already happening in some

places. What is not so good in the instant case is the lady belongs to the highest hierarchy as an officer of the police and the man is an active member of a notorious group of bandits known as the Abu Sayyaf.

This is indeed disturbing because it gives the idea that a peace officer sleeps with an enemy. And when this happens, it could really mean destructive to

the police or to the bandits.

This love affair is rare, but it happened in the past.

In the olden days of true and fictions, “kings left their throne to marry the poor girl in the mountain”. Such true stories were depicted in novel and movies and they really attracted people because of their rare incidence that involved sentiment, drama, tears, comedy and romance. Ever since,

Let the real numbers spell out the truth

By Allan M. Mediante Editor in Chief

Real Numbers show what have been factually and seriously accomplished.

It is sheer reality and not a drumbeat of fake news.

Real numbers is the essence of truth because one cannot make a claim of the reality of 2 when the number is really 5. In the lotto gambler’s street parlance, 2 is the “sindikato of 5,” or 3 the sindikato of 8; 6 of 9 and 4 of 7.

Have we ever wondered why the streets have been quiet these past few months?

The Anti-Drug campaign of President Rodrigo Duterte bared the real numbers: Of the 4 million drug users as of April 20, this year, one million two hundred

AFP right on track in eliminating ASG threat THE Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Wednesday expressed confidence that it is capable of meeting the six-month deadline imposed by Gen. Eduardo Año in eliminating the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) during his assumption of command last December.

“The AFP is right on track. We have achieved important milestones through deliberate military action backed by intense stakeholder engagements. Besides the neutralization of key terrorist leaders and other lawless elements, the number of firearms and IED (improvised explosive devices) recovered as well as the increasing number of surrenderees and those sending word of wanting to do so is a significant indicator that demoralization has seeped into the enemies ranks,” said AFP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla.

He was referring to the neutralization of ASG subleaders Muamar Askali alias “Abu Rami” and Alhabsy Misaya during focused military operations in Bohol and Sulu last April and massive numbers of surrenderees and their firearms in the Western Mindanao area during the past few weeks.

“And it won’t be long before we see their demise.

sixty-six thousand nine hundred sixty-six have surrendered, thus a reduction of 26.45 percent of the estimated P120 billion total drug market.

Eighty-eight thousand nine hundred forty (88,940) drug pushers have already surrendered to various law enforcement agencies.

These were hard data presented during the Live Forum on : “RealNumberPh” PTV4, Radyo ng Bayan and Facebook, at Crown Plaza, Ortigas, Quezn City, in the afternoon of May 2, this year.

Presented by PCOO, PNP, PDEA, DOH , DSWD and Radyo Ng Bayan, the forum dubbed: “Do not be fooled by Fake Numbers,” said the factual numbers showed that there is a 28.57 percent reduction in index crimes., from 134,958 in the period July 2015 - March 2016, to only 96,398 committed in the period July 2016 - March 2017.

These are the correct figures related to the government’s anti-drug campaign according to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency

and the Philippine National Police.

We cannot deny that the drug problem in the country is very serious. Four ( 4 ) million users means P120 billion of Filipino families’ money were uselessly spent on drugs by the drug users according to PDEA statistics. But the CHR, the UN and other International bodies never believed this because according to critics, some spin doctors are paid to deny the truth. “ That’s one of their (sponsor of spin doctors) strategies to mess-up the minds of the whole so that it would be easy to control the country, to enslave the Filipino people in their own land.

They wont accept this fact that from July 1, 2016 to April 20, this year, there were 53,503 operations launched in the Duterte drug war; 64,917 people arrested but only 2,692 died during the anti-drug operations, while the authorities have facilitated the surrender of 1,266,966, PDEA’s data claimed.

cases which were under investigation, 1,847 are drug-related or 19.6%; and 1,894 are non-drug related or 29.1%; and 5,691 cases are still under investigation.

If almost one half of homicide cases are drug-related, this is already a sign of the seriousness of the country’s drug problem. Drugs should now be treated as a real threat to national security.

Therefore, waging a war against it is in the right order.

A very Serious Problem PDEA Director General Isidro Lapeña, in his presentation during the “RealNumbersPH” forum, stressed on the negative impact of the drug problem to the country. “Over all, the drug problem has negative impact to the nation as a whole. The drug problem is now considered a national security threat because it destroys the youth, families and community thereby

endangering the future of the country.

The anti-Duterte’s drug war minions are using the term Extra-Judicial Killings (EJK) “to ingrain the idea that all the deaths are perpetrated by the current administration to grab power , “they went beyond mere “discredit” and into a downright international power-grab campaign to bring the International Narco Allies and Manpower Organization (or INAMO) back in power,” according to a blogger.

They are ignoring the fact that drug abuse is a mental health problem.

Department of Health Sec. Paulyn Jean B. Russel Ubial has declared: “We consider drug abuse a mental health problem.” With the estimated 4 million drug users who are potential mental health patients, we can only think of the unthinkable tragedies that may occur in

the streets, the homes and public places. A person with a mental health problem is prone to commit gruesome and criminal acts.

Think of these examples of tragedies committed by drug addicts: Rape of family members - daughters, mothers, grand-daughters and even grandmothers.

Killing, mutilating hapless babies, and other family members. Think of the potential 4 million mentallyderanged drug addicts who could be potential criminals lurking on our own homes, and neighborhoods. Do we treat this gangrenous, flesh-eating wound with “band-aid”? Of course you have to cut-it off from the body, much the same as diabetics are.

DA 10 launches first leg of Infocar 2017 in LdN Tubod, Lanao del Norte – The Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office 10 (DA-RFO10) conducted an Information Caravan on April 20, 2017 at the Farmers’ Training Center, Provincial Agriculture Office (PAO).

The activity was spearheaded by the Regional Agriculture and Fisheries Information Section (RAFIS) along with the department’s attached bureaus and agencies as well as the Provincial Local Government of Lanao del Norte.

With the theme, “Insaktong Impormasyon sa Agrikultura Ka-abag sa Mabungahong Pagpanguma,” 200 farmers were gathered to inform them of the different programs and services

of the department and its partner bureaus and agencies as well as the agriculture and veterinary offices at the provincial level.

In her opening message Mary Grace B. Sta. Elena, RAFIS Chief, encouraged the farmers to participate and thanked the PLGU of Lanao del Norte for their continued support in the agricultural sector.

The activity also served as a venue for the farmers to raise their issues and concerns. One of the highlighted concerns raised was the inquiry on why National Food Authority (NFA) rice has a different smell compared to local rice. To this, NFA Provincial Operations Officer Rosita M. Tabugo

explained that NFA rice is usually imported from other countries since only a few farmers would sell their rice to the agency. She added that the smell is a result of being stored for more than four (4) months.

Aside from NFA, present in the activity were the partner bureaus and agencies of DA such as Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA), Philippine Fiber Industry Development Authority (PhilFIDA), National Irrigation Administration (NIA), National Dairy Authority (NDA), Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), and Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC). # (AMBManto, DA-RFO 10)

their son or daughter.”

The mayor said “a culture has prevailed that death is not anymore sacred to these people.” He noted that the house was “used as a drug den not minding that the lives of their family is at stake” and the suspects even dared fight the law enforcers serving the warrant.

Ampatuan added that a resident of the barangay sent him a text message that was corroborated by Sangguniang Bayan members Nasser Mangwa and Ben Sambolawan, that the police arrived at the village after lunch but the men inside

the house of Banjo Tantong lobbed a grenade at the law enforcers who returned fire.

He said the houses in the village are close to each other and that before the law enforcers could get near, they were already fired upon. “Wala silang napasukan na bahay” (They were not able to enter a house).

Ampatuan added that the police investigator told him Banjo’s house was used in the trading of drugs and that where they store the drugs is near his house.

The resident said “Willi at Robin at Candao” were inside Banjo’s house along with his wife and teenage child who were killed and the three younger children who

were injured and rushed to the hospital, one of whom expired at the emergency room.

The resident also said Banjo’s group and several others fled while the police were approaching the houses, a number of them reportedly injured.

Ampatuan said the village is notorious for nefarious activities and is reportedly where the drug shipment via the Ligawasan marsh is docked, as well as the proceeds from cattle rustling activities in neighboring towns in Sultan Kudarat province and Maguindanao, and is also a lair for guns-for-hire operating in Tacurong, Esperanza

and Isulan towns in Sultan Kudarat.

If law enforcers are fired upon by criminals while doing their job, “could they have the chance to think that they should not fire back because innocent persons are among the subject of law enforcement who fired first?” Ampatuan asked.

He noted that the subject of the search warrant was clear: “a house where drugs are sold operated by trader/ pusher. The same house is a regular residence of a family. It was too late for law enforcers to know that the wife, a teenager son and a baby of one of the persons subject of law enforcement is at that house. The crimi-

nals threw grenade on the law enforcers who continue closing in. The criminals scampered away leaving behind the mother and two children.”

It is not clear if Banjo’s house is also covered by a search warrant.

Innocent lives In his Facebook post early Wednesday, Mayor Ampatuan expressed grief over the death of the children, recalling how his younger sisters, aged 5 and 7 were killed during martial law.

He said his father, a politician, “was so forgiving” as he told them “gyera ito kaya walang pinipili, bata o matanda ay pwedeng mamatay… katulad ng bagyo

na di namimili na pwedeng masalanta” (this is war and war chooses no age, the young and old could get killed… it is like the storm, it does not choose victims).

In this ongoing war against illegal drugs, Ampatuan said “it may always happen that innocent lives might be mistakenly taken even with most prudent preparations by law enforcers as criminals fire on law enforcers.” But he acknowledged that “emotions run high if innocent lives are sacrificed in this war on drugs. I reason out but I cry… May Allah Guide us more.”

Affair... from page 4

Sayyaf romance is practically similar to the “Delima love” affair with her driver.

To be in love is a personal right of anyone. It is inherent to humans just like life or death. It can withstand against obstacles, hindrance or barrier. It will ignore even guns, cannons and disapproval of parents and relative. Love champions all.

Right now nobody can estimate how far the Abu Sayyaf penetrated the police system or vice versa. Most likely, it is the man that leads and, therefore, the government must have lost a great deal, especially in planning, operation, strategy and tactics. He may be young, but in most cases, the man is the stronger sex.

A colonel in the military is at the top of the command.

But not a female colonel in love as she may get orders from her lover, no matter how low the caliber of the person. The Abu young man may not be so educated as the female police officer, but definitely her heart strikes faster for whatever the man wishes because of love. Love is just miraculous, you can feel it, but you could hardly understand or resist it. So many lovers jumped to their death for their love and it is something science or any technology could not explain.

Nowadays, most men and women make serious choices before deciding to get married. Both see to it that their partner is solid, has a good job, good family background, respectable, presentable, religious to them--love alone is not the source of success and joy.

They want to begin married life with contentment and happiness.

If it is true that the colonel was married to an enemy, the government would have to limit its probe and never touch the said marriage, even if it was officiated by a rebel for as long as he is authorized to perform such function. (Bennex News Service)

support her and the things she is fighting for,” said Senator Joel Villanueva in a press statement.

“I believe that Gina Lopez is highly qualified for the position of DENR Secretary because of her commitment to serve the country and her unwavering advocacy to save our environment,” Senator JV Ejercito told his colleagues during yesterday’s session in the Senate.

Ejercito said: “The previous administration saw her efforts and initiatives for the rehabilitation of Pasig River, eventually appointing her as Chairperson of the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission.”

He said Lopez even launched the Save Palawan Movement and stood up to

the challenge of gathering 10 Million signatures to voice out that key biodiversity areas must be protected and not be ravaged by mining.”

“Recently, she put an end to the longtime struggle of our environment from destructive mining operations,” he said, adding, “Mr. President, Gina Lopez should be recognized because it took for a lady Secretary to have the guts of going against the brazen violations of big time miners.”

On one hand, Senator Loren Legarda said: “It is unfortunate that we let pass an opportunity for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to be led by someone who has the passion, integrity and political will to implement our environmental laws.”

“Our natural environment has been compromised in the name of development.

Our biological diversity has been significantly reduced and the general health of our environment is conceded to the greed of some,” said Legarda.

She added: “Even more unfortunate is the fact that our ecosystems have been altered more rapidly for development programs but the poor have remained poor. We do not realize that the things we want to gain and develop through the use of ecosystem services, are the very same things we lose due to exploitation and unsustainable use of our natural resources.”

When Lopez was appointed Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources, her mantra was “Without ecological integrity and social justice, we cannot have genuine, inclusive economic growth.”

The DENR has partnered with six other agencies-Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Transportation (DOTr), Department of Justice (DOJ), Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP), and Philippine Coast Guard (PCG)--to go after large-scale environmental offenders.

Under her leadership, the lady lawmaker said the DENR has undertaken an assessment of mining firms, closure of illegal quarrying operations in Mt. Banahaw, dismantling of illegal structures in Laguna Lake, and intensified operations in illegal logging hotspots in the country; while promoting sustainable economic alternatives such as ecotourism and renewable energy investments.

In less than a year of service, Lopez has already done a lot as DENR Secretary, said Legarda as she registered her dissent to CA’s rejection of the confirmation of the ad interim appointment of Regina Paz La’O Lopez as DENR secretary.

Below is the reaction of Yeb Saño, Executive Director of Greenpeace Southeast Asia, in regard to the CA’s

Thursday, May 4, 2017 decision to reject Lopez appointment: “The rejection of Gina Lopez is a rejection of change. Her rejection as DENR Secretary by the Commission on Appointments is very disappointing and worrying, and shows how destructive industries continue to hold Philippine lawmakers by their necks.

“We were made to believe, through her appointment last year, that reforms, environmental protection, and social justice are still possible in this country.

We thought that this administration is serious in implementing change by appointing a true environmentalist in the DENR. “But the CA, dominated by politicians with questionable loyalty, some of whom are receiving campaign contributions from various mining interests, blocked what could have been the golden era of Philippine environmental rehabilitation and protection under Gina Lopez.

“The rejection undermines the reforms the current administration is pushing and could be an indicator of factions between those who have benefited from old corrupt practices and those who are genuinely advancing for true, genuine, and people-centered changes.

“As a country with scarce forests left, and with dwindling natural resources, turning to extracting minerals as a solution to poverty is superfluous at the very least, and glaringly reveals the short-sighted mindset, if not corrupt interests, of our politicians. With mining having a serious impact on our water resources, the situation demands that we weigh which is more important: money or life. The next major battle will be fought over water, not gold.

And Ms. Lopez has chosen right: she must stand proud over those who choose the foolish and obtuse option of trying to solve poverty by destroying the environment.

“While the CA members were worried about the legality of Ms. Lopez’s mining audit and ignored the other reforms she has officiated in the agency, they seem to forget about the Filipino’s constitutional right to a clean and healthful ecology.

The Commission’s double standards show where the true loyalty of its members’ lie:nitpicking on legalities and standards when Gina chose to protect the environment, when those laws and standards were not applied when big industries were destroying the environment.

Ms. Lopez but upheld and pushed for our right to breathe clean air, to drink clean water, and to live in a clean and safe environment.

“Her appointment inspired us last year: her rejection today inflamed us to do more, and to further push for other urgent environmental issues, such as stopping the proliferation of coal; arresting coastal recla-

mation; the need for a pollution release and transfer registry (PRTR); addressing plastic pollution; wildlife trafficking; waste importation and the ratification of the Basel Ban Amendment; opposing waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies; going after illegal fishers and supporting small fishermen and poor Filipinos; among other concerns.

“When someone is ill and dying, you don’t take his wallet and rob him.

You try to do everything you can to revive him. Our environment is dying, and our politicians choose to rob it more.

“The greed of the powerful few has won this round, but we consider this a temporary setback. We at the environmental movement will carry on boldly, for our rights, our environment, and our future.”

however, hit and injured him,” she said.

She said the NDFPSMR’s order of indemnification was “a unilateral exercise of revolutionary political authority by the People’s Democratic Government that has its own legal and judicial system and rules in accordance with its political principles and circumstances.”

She added the order of indemnification was also in compliance with the Geneva Conventions, the Comprehensive Agreement on Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law, among other codes of conduct by the armed movement.

She maintained the movement ha absolute respect for “human rights and international humanitarian law.”

“It is waging a just war for the genuine emancipation of the majority exploited Filipino people.

The punitive action by the NPA-Southern Mindanao against the Lorenzo-owned Lapanday Foods Corporation in Davao City is just and long-demanded by the thousands of peasants, Lumad and workers in Mindanao,” she said.

Dismayed Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza said he was dismayed by the recent NPA attacks while peace talks are “making substantial headway” but remained optimistic they “will not be deterred” despite calls to drop [the talks] and wage an all-out war.

The NPA attacked three businesses run by the Lorenzo family in the city on April 30, leaving Buenafe and three other persons wounded, Lapanday security guard Reynaldo Talamaque and two NPA fighters.

Two NPA members were killed in the attack.

Although there is no bilateral ceasefire yet, Dureza said the attacks made the public question the sincerity of those with whom they are

dealing with across the table and doubted their capacity to manage and control their forces on the ground.

He said there have been calls to scrap the peace negotiations and pursue an all-out military offensive against the NPA rebels, a track pursued by previous governments since the group’s founding in 1969.

While the secretary believes the government forces “can deal with these contingencies” with the support of the civilian communities, he maintained that as negotiators, their task is to pursue the talks.

“Our expectation is that our unrelenting efforts in addressing the issues, bridging the ideological divide and finding a common ground may eventually pay off and bring about just, sustainable and enduring peace in the land,” he said.

He reiterated the task is not easy but assured they will continue.

“We will not yield in our resolve. We will not be deterred,” he said.

Labor Secretary and government chief peace negotiator Silvestre Bello III said they are now preparing for the fifth round of talks scheduled for May 27 to June 1 in the Netherlands.

He said the bilateral teams of the government (GRP) and NDF are working to “arrive at a consensus” on contentious provisions of the proposed Comprehensive Agreement on Social and Economic Reforms (CASER) and bilateral ceasefire.

He said their respective committees exchanged drafts and held informal bilateral meetings in the country to discuss the contentious provisions as pointed out during the fourth formal GRP-NDF last April 3 to 7 in the Netherlands.

“Ang report sa akin ni (The report to me by) Nani Braganza, who is chairman of the committee on CASER, mukhang magkakasundo na sila (It seems they are agreeing) and they will submit it to the panel for final approval maybe by May 27 to June 1,” Bello said.

He said draft CASER will be presented in the fifth round of talks in Noorwijk aan Zee, The Netherlands on May 26 to June 2, 2017.

All the AFP needs to do is see through the completion of its plans against these bandits,” he added.

During Año’s assumption as AFP chief, he ordered all military units to focus on the elimination of the ASG especially those assigned in the Western Mindanao area.

He added no efforts will be spared in the allocation of personnel and equipment so that the bandit group will be totally eliminated. (Priam F. Nepomuceno/PNA)

health officer, Dr. Tahir Sulaik, wept upon seeing the bloodied children aged between one and five years, whom he identified as Hassan, Maharra and Aldrin Tanto.

He told MindaNews that an ambulance of the Army’s 40th Infantry Battalion arrived at the Maguindanao Provincial Hospital in Shariff Aguak town at around 3 p.m. carrying the three “duguan” (bloodied) children.

Sulaik said they asked what happened and were told “na rescue nila sa Malibpolok” (they rescued them in Barangay Malibpolok) during a firefight at 2:30 p.m. Sulaik was informed later that it was in Barangay Panadtaban.

The doctor said the eldest of the three children, estimated to be around 4 to 5 years old was in critical condition and his intestines had spilled out. Hassan did not reach the operating table. He died at the emergency room.

Hassan’s sister, Maharra, aged around 2 to 3, and brother Aldrin, one year old, are still recuperating, Sulaik said.

Maharra was hit on the right arm while Aldrin was hit by so many shrapnels on the head and body.

Sulaik said he was informed the children’s mother, Normina, was killed along with her teenage child, Kadil.
