By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor
CAMP ALAGAR, Cagayan De Oro City – The Regional Civil Security Unit (RCSU) would issue a directive to “vulnerable” establishments in Northern Mindanao to contract the services of the “K-9” security providers, a top police official said Monday. Supt. Rowen R. Pornobe , the group commander of the RCSU, said that the deployment of “K-9” security in vulnerable establishments would preempt possible incursion of illegal explosives in targeted establishment. Pornobe mentioned the

various commercial malls and other convergence areas in the region, which could be susceptible to attacks by terror groups who might be out to inflict injury to the innocent people in the community. The RCSU chief also cited power plants, banks, port areas, and public markets as “highly vulnerable places (HVP),” which, when attacked could destabilize the peace and order situation in the areas concerned. Pornobe said that it is important for the vulnerable establishments to have, at least, two “K-9” security to serve as security in See SERVICE, page 6

PDEA: Alleged drug dealer fights back By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent
CAGAYAN de Oro City-A suspected drug dealer allegedly fought back the raiding team when they swooped down his homes prompting the operatives to shoot him on Thursday. Armed with a search warrant, PDEA agents raided the houses of Jabbar Sangcopan in Barangay Kauswagan and in Opol, Misamis Oriental late Thursday afternoon.
Named in the warrant dated May 2, 2017 were Jabbar and one of his wives, Nasifa. His other wife Sindi was not in the warrant, which was issued by Judge Dennis Alcantar, of Regional Trial Court branch 18, for violation of RA 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. Both Nasifa, residing in Kauswagan, and Sindi, who’s living in Opol, were arrested in separate raids and were detained at the
PDEA-10 detention facility as of Friday morning. Reports quoted Gilbert Buenafe, PDEA-Caraga regional director, as saying Sangcopan was shot for fighting back (“nanlaban”) the raiding team. Buenafe said they tried to avoid a bloody encounter but they had no choice but to ensure the safety of their operatives. But Sangcopan’s children said their father did not fight back contrary

Gina Lopez’s rejection a ‘great loss’, bishops say Catholic bishops said that Gina Lopez’s rejection as environment chief is a ‘great loss’ to the nation. Bishop Antonieto Cabajog of Surigao believes that Lopez is the right person for the job if only to protect the environment and take care of the country’s remaining resources. “She is a great loss!

Retired Archbishop Ramon Arguelles of Lipa said the Commission on Appointments’ decision to reject Lopez as environment secretary “unmasks the kind of leaders we have”. “They betray God and our people because of self interest. And because of
the interest of the abusive few, God’s creation and the environment meant for the common good is further exposed to degradation,” he said. Several diocesan social action directors also rallied behind Lopez and scored how the supposed interests of a few won over the common good. “It’s clear that selfish See bishops, page 7

P res i dent R o d r i g o Duterte said the Commission on Appointment’s rejection of Gina Lopez as Environment Secretary is “sayang” because “I really like her passion” but hinted “lobby money” led to her rejection. “I made a pinch-hit for her. You know how it is. This is a democracy. And lobby money talks. I do not control everything,” Duterte said at the 27th Philippine Orthopaedic Association mid-year convention at the SMX Convention Center here Thursday. Duterte invoked the separation of powers among the executive, legislative and judicial branches of See LOBBY, page 7
LOBBY MONEY. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte says he like Gina Lopez’ passion as Environment Secretary but hinted her rejection was due to the power of “lobby money.” Duterte addressed the Philippine Orthopaedic Association (POA) 27th Midyear Convention at the SMX Convention Center in Davao City on May 4, 2017. Right, Lopez engage in a tête–à–tête before the start of the Commission on Appointments hearing on her ad interim appointment. “About 82 percent of revenues from mining goes to the mining industry.

Greenpeace seeks Gina’s return to DENR Environment watchdog Greenpeace is appealing President Rodrigo Duterte to allow ousted environment chief Gina Lopez’ to return to Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Greenpeace is open to having the Chief Executive himself lead DENR - as Lopez suggested - with the ousted environment secretary playing a major role in this agency’s protection and conservation efforts, said the watchdog’s campaigner Vince Cinches. Given extent of the President’s work, however, Cinches noted Greenpeace’s
priority appeal is for Mr. Duterte to look into the possibility of still re-appointing Lopez as DENR head so she can implement initiatives for truly boosting environmental protection and conservation nationwide. “We want to test the Philippine Constitution’s bounds in terms of promoting people’s right to a healthful ecology,” Cinches said. The Constitution’s Article II Section 16 provides that the State “shall protect and advance the right of the people to a balanced and healthful ecology in accord with the rhythm and
harmony of nature.” On Wednesday (May 3), majority of CA members voted to oust Lopez from DENR mainly over miningrelated issues against her. CA’s decision drew the ire of Greenpeace and other environmental groups. “The decision is dismaying and an affront to the Duterteadministration’s environmental protection and conservation bid,” said Cinches. He noted several personalities are in Greenpeace’s list of possible successors to Lopez. Lopez’ re-appointment as DENR head remains
Greenpeace’s priority call, however, he said. Cinches said Greenpeace and other environment groups were already “recalibrating” respective strategies so these can better express dismay over CA’s decision. “We’ll make sure CA members concerned will feel differentenvironmental stakeholders’ backlash over the decision,” he said. In a statement earlier, Greenpeace Exec. Dir. Yeb Sano said CA’s rejection of Lopez was a rejection of change as this “blocked what could have been See return, page 7

I believe Gina can still fly By Jun Ledesma of PNA
Gina Lopez bowed out of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in a manner and classic idiosyncrasy this time warbling the 1996 hit by R. Kelly – “I believe I can fly”. The import of the song can simply mean she can do what she had thought she cannot and that she can do anything to achieve her goals if she wishes to. For now, Gina is out but she created enough stir her exit will create some noise but will ultimately end in a whimper. By herself Gina can fly. She wants the President to take over the helm of DENR. She has bases in saying that, among these Duterte has the will in resolutely seeing through what he wants done. But the President is overloaded. I am sure that with over 100-million Filipinos there are 10 with the proper educational background and experience who can handle See fly, page 7

The triumph of greed and avarice
REGINA LOPEZ, the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), was an object of consternation by Congress, the majority of them are bureaucrat capitalists who won a seat with the primary objective of protecting the interest of the capitalist system. The Commission on Appointment (CA), whose members belonged to the bureaucrat capitalist group, knows that Lopez, a scion of a wealthy family, could not be corrupted by the 13 pieces of silver. The only way to get rid of her is to deny her appointment as Environment Secretary with finality in order to look for someone who could protect the interest of the mining sectors - most of

One was my colleague Nelson Constantino, who went on to describe the bureaucrat capitalists as the “moneyed” members of Congress who were also “capitalists.”

It is lamentable that some of the local government officials were rumored to be on the list, too, although they remain scot-free. While it is unfair to accuse the members of the CA to be susceptible to lobby money, a respectable description of “bribe money,” the suspicions that the CA serves the interest of the capitalists (mining investors) could not be simply ignored. For the many who are familiar with the doings of the bureaucracy, the CA’s decision to stomp the appointment of Lopez was expected. In fact, See greed, page 7

By the way, the word capitalist has a lot of meaning: It could mean a businessperson, entrepreneur, financier, industrialist, or an investor. Now, tell us who among the members of the incumbent Congress who do ( es ) not fit the description? Nelson was right when he said that a “bureaucrat capitalist” means a “moneyed” and at the same time a “capitalist” or someone who is in some kind of business – either legal or illegal. Apology for the word illegal (business).

(COOP TV) which I manage and the four million cooperative members Mindanaowide, thank you very much. The cooperative sector in the Philippines with more than 26,600 registered cooperatives and about 14 million members have been in a continuous war. War against the faceless force that ostensibly trying to kill the 82 percent, or about 21
thousand micro and small scale cooperatives with more than 11 million members. These faceless antagonists of coops are the oligarchs and the cartels who can not moderate their greed. They want to control everything, even the very basic essentials of poor families’ existence. Their weapon? The law. Through House Bill 4774, filed by Representative Dakila Carlo Cua of Quezon City District, particularly section 34b which specifies repeal of articles 60 and 61 of RA 9520 or The Philippine Cooperative Code of 2008, the cooperatives may never have a chance to survive. And this is not the first time our honorable legislators attempted to kill the coops. In every congress, big corporations lobby to make
the same repressive legislative measures. Some of our legislators were also blinded by whatever reasons, crafted Bills with the disguise of tax reform measures for greater government service delivery to poor Filipinos. But as some congressmen may have thought, majority of cooperatives may be poor, but we are not stupid. We understand what’s going on and we can read between the line. That’s why the coop sector decided to show its sleeping force. A few weeks ago I was privileged to be with Undersecretary Orlando R. Ravanera of Cooperative Development Authority, Rep.

Can we rely on mere ratings to select the next BISU president?
Speaking out
Funding economic growth needs to be done. Growth must be inclusive, Dominguez said. As we grow, we should be able to lift millions out of poverty. Dominguez explains that one of the strategic objectives of the Duterte administration is to reduce the nation’s poverty rate from the current 26 % to just 17% or a reduction of the poor by 1.5% per year for the next 6 years. Difficult yes, but eminently achievable. Echoing the “7x7 formula” of former Neda Chief Romy Neri, Dominguez stated: “There is only one benchmark we need to consistently attain year after year: this is to keep growth at 7% for the next generation.” But this growth must be inclusive, Dominguez states, “with the goal of enhancing access to opportunity, reducing disparities among the regions and preparing the young for meaningful economic roles through superior but accessible educational systems.” One of the linchpins of the growth strategy is massive infrastructure spending. The strategy was rolled out
in detail during the recent Dutertenomics fora, which Dominguez himself helped organize. Massive infra spending “should immmensely improve the logistics backbone of our economy as well as create jobs in the area that are less progressive. Gains in the efficiency of moving people and goods through the archipelago will bring down costs for consumers and enhance the productivity of farmers, as well as manufacturing.” “The dispersal of our economic activity will be helped by improvements in our ports, airports, rail and road. “There is increased convergence, therefore, between the increased spending on infra and the pursuit of inclusive growth. “The better our infra becomes, the more otherwise inaccessible areas can participate in the national economic mainstream.” And how d o e s t he Duterte government intend to fund all these projects? 1.

communities where they operate. Data show that the coop sector generates about Php6.4 Billion in withholding tax contribution. Second, cooperatives help the government in job creation. Per CDA data, coops have generated about 530 thousand direct employment and 1.9 million indirect employment. Third, during disasters and calamities, cooperatives are there to hold our countrymen, even in areas which are unreachable by government services. According to the logic of law--perhaps our legislators are very aware of it; Laws are rules that bind all people living in a community. Laws protect our general safety, and ensure our rights as citizens against abuses by other people, by organizations, and by the government itself. It clearly says that lawmakers should craft laws with the welfare of the general public in mind. Meaning, in every legislative measure, the ultimate goal should be for social justice. Meaning, if you--honorable congressmen, make a law which benefits only the few wealthy individuals, what are you? Greed! Accordingly, the cooperative tax exemption repeal is a “done deal”. Meaning, it is virtually approved already and the hearings are mere stage plays. To our legislators who would support HB 4774, you should remember that your power emanate from the votes of ordinary people, which I’m sure some of them are cooperative members. They are
Of his many personal traits, President Rody Duterte’s candor easily stands out. He admits to lack of knowledge of economics. “I don’t even understand those graphs,” he once told a gathering of fellow Bedans. That said, he professes to rely heavily on the advice of his trusted economic advisers to help him move the country forward. Easily among his top four are Finance Carlos Dominguez III , Budget Secretary Ben Diokno, Economic Planning Secretary Ernie Pernia, and Transportation Secretary Art Tugade. Although legally independent of the Executive, the BSP Governor would be the 5th man in the team. Here is wishing that President Rody makes a wise choice on or before July 2, when the 2nd nonextendible term of BSP Governor Amando M. Tetangco expires.

Ignacio Bunye immediately pledged to continue to do their share of the heavy lifting. 2. By borrowing locally. This could be sourced from massive OFW funds remitted annually. 3. By improving tax collection efficiency through the approval and implementation of the proposed tax reform package. Of the last, Dominguez acknowledges that raising taxes is never popular. Thus, Dominguez proposes to ease the pain by seeking to lower personal and corporate income taxes. But of course, each item that will result in revenue loss will have to be coupled with a proposal that will result in revenue gain. Here’s hoping that Congress expeditiously passes the proposed tax reform package. Note: You may email us at totingbunye2000@gmail. com.

Maramag municipal police station, who happened to have passed by was stopped at the roadblock. Taken by the rebels from Traya’s possession was his government-issued 9mm Glock handgun. He was released unharmed right his firearm was confiscated. Police said the raiding group belonged to the NPA’s Front Committee 86 sub-region guerrilla unit. The suspects left the crime scene on a pick-up truck, two motorcycles, and two of the armored vans owned by Dasia. Minutes later, the armored vans were found abandoned in the same barangay. Police also detained one Luvimin Rosos, alias “Tiyal,” 18, male, and a resident of Barangay Poblacion, Quezon town in Bukidnon, who was suspected as the NPA’s lookout. Witnessed by village officials, law enforcers searched the room rented by Rosos in Hindangon and found inside were the following: surveillance cameras, night vision goggles, sniper’s veil, camouflage raincoat, hammock, black jacket, bullcap, eyeglasses. The police also found flash card containing footages of Dasia, which investigators believe is part of the NPA’s surveillance and planning before they executed the operation.
The Bohol Island State University (BISU) has begun its search for its next Chief Executive Officer. According to the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Memorandum Order 16, Series of 2009, the evaluation of applicants for SUC presidency are based on the following criteria: professional competence (35%), academic background (25%), public forum/presentation (25%), panel interview (15%). After the deadline for submitting applications for the position, the Search Committee composed of five members—from the academic community, the private sector, the CHED, and the Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC)—will begin evaluating the hopefuls. But will the rating system really be useful in the process? To answer this bothering question, I say, “I really hope so.” What concerns me is: if past presidents who led my alma mater ever bested other applicants, why would they fall short of many expectations? Did the rating system work for the purpose? I ask this because even looking at BISU’s mission statement—the magnum opus of the past leader that made him win the position—I can already sense a weakness. Ponder its mission: “BISU is committed to provide quality higher education in the arts and sciences, as well as in the professional and technological fields; undertake research and development, and extension services for the sustainable development of Bohol and the country.” How do we know that it has reached “quality higher education” status? It seems words like “quality”, “excellence” and their cliché derivatives are still explosives which make one stop and behold. Truth is, however, yelling: these are all devaluated currencies. So why use them? What makes BISU so different from other universities which often use such terminologies in their missions? It is like penning: “We produce shoes like anyone else in the industry”, in lieu of, “To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world”—Nike’s mission. In other words, one does not see a winning quality in the previous mission of BISU because it was obviously almost a rehash of CHED’s mandate for universities. And speaking about research and development in BISU’s mission, it seems the university has not attained much, if this is truly its mission. Its FAVLAB? It is not R&D per se because it functions more as a technology to design products
Lucell Larawan
for the community, but the new products are not its own patents. So we cannot take it as its R&D arm in a strict sense. Based on the university’s goal, we note: “Promote quality research outputs that respond to the needs of the local and national communities”. Seemingly profound, but how did the university attain this objective, if it ever touched the fringes? Does it know that a research, in order to have quality, needs to be published in peerreviewed journal publications through a double-blind review process? Does BISU conceal a seeming absence of such publications by its constituents? How does BISU fare in the primary international basis of assessing achieving academias? BISU cannot hide anywhere during this time of globalization, so we need to ask such questions. Going back to the question: did the rating system used in selecting previous BISU presidents work? If it did, where are the deliverables if we know how to assess the university based on its mission? If the rating system used in selection did not work, I assume that the possible reasons are: 1) such process did not even follow the requirement to publish the vacant position in national newspapers as required by CHED (I have not yet verified this); 2) the process ended up with a satisficing, meaning, having no choice other than selecting one with less exemplary “vision and mission” and less research track record outside the academic requirements hoping that he or she will not get insecure with real achievers inside; 3) the box could be too small to make achievers fit in, such as requiring only earned doctorate degrees and ignoring honorary PhDs from real track record; and I am referring to the CHED Memorandum Number 16, Series of 2009. Never ignore this: you cannot produce a Manny Pacquiao without choosing a Freddie Roach. You cannot expect academics to get inspired by someone who cannot even figure out a real punch because he does not know the sport, even if such person flaunts previous administrative positions See next, page 6

the main gates, and in the conduct of routine patrol around the establishment (in the case of power plants). According to Pornobe, there were many instances that the “K-9” security has deterred possible sabotage, particularly on sensitive power plants, because the “K-9” dogs could easily detect an intruder. Pornobe also warned establishments found to have deployed “K-9” security, which is not accredited by the RCSU as a ground for possible sanction against the owners of the establishments and the security agency (in case of private security
agency). He said that the deployment of a “K-9” dog security without proper accreditation is not only costly, but is also a “security risk” because the dog might bite people and would not be able to detect explosives or other dangerous devices. Pornobe said that the RCSU regional command was compelled to direct the establishment owners to contract an accredited “K-9” security because of the various terror threats in the region. “The RCSU would be partly liable for any attacks on highly vulnerable establishments for its failure to issue preemptive measures to owners of establishments,” Pornobe said.

Iglesia Filipina Independiente (IFI), said Police Officer 2 Gerome Anthony Natividad was turned over to the third-party facilitator by the NPA custodial force unharmed and in fine shape. Calang is the co-convenor of the Philippine Ecumenical Peace Platform (PEPP) and main convenor of Sowing the Seeds of Peace in Mindanao, two organizations that brokered for Natividad’s freedom. He said Natividad appeared to be in good health as his family met him during the release in Dominorog. “There was no scratch on him. He was mentally alert. The NPA custodial force has assured us that PO2 Natividad was not hurt in the entire time that he was in captivity,” Calang told this reporter in an interview Thursday afternoon.
Calang said the thirdparty facilitator turned Natividad over to the local government officials of Kalilangan town in Bukidnon as he was escorted and brought to the municipal police office there where he was assigned prior to his kidnapping. “Natividad was with his family after he was released,” he said. It can be recalled that Natividad was taken by the Communist rebels when they set up a road block on a portion of the national highway in Talakag town, Bukidnon, last Feb. 9. In return for his freedom, the NPA said they will only release Natividad if the Philippine Army and the National Police will temporarily suspend their operations in dozens of villages in Bukidnon. In a statement, the Army’s 4th Infantry Division countered they will not declare a suspension of military operation and leave it up to the NPA to set the policeman free at their own volition. In a meeting, Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno, head of the Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC), and the
third-party facilitator have proposed that the military will order a “stand down” of its troops for six days in the area where the release was to take place, through the “Expression of Aspiration” document signed by Moreno. “The Military Forces now stationed in the Northern and Central Bukidnon areas will remain in their respective areas and refrain from conducting offensive operations that will jeopardize the safe release and handover process,” read part of the document. “We drew up a plan for the military stand-down three days prior and three days after the date of the release to avoid any encounter between the NPA custodial force and government soldiers,” he added. He said the 4ID, through Col. Jesse Alvarez, the assistant division commander, had agreed to the idea and it was then relayed to the local National Democratic Front chapter. Calang said the NPA acceded to the plan that the Communist rebels’ custodial force will have safe passage for six days if they push through with the release.

interest won over the interest of the people to be protected. That is how politics run our country,” said Fr. Augustus Calubaquib of the Tuguegarao Archdiocesan Social Action Center. For Fr. Guillermo Alorro of the Calbayog diocesan Social Action Center, the CA’s decision only proves that “doing good for the people and protecting their basic rights to live a descent life is a misnomer nowadays”. “It’s unfair for the people especially for the poor who are always victims of mining companies, their lives and livelihood,” said Infanta Prelature Social Action Director Fr. Israel Gabriel. Powerful lobby For his part, Caritas Philippines’ executive secretary Fr. Edwin Gariguez said it was expected since some members of the CA have ties to mining firms. “The decision is expected, given the powerful lobby of the Chamber of Mines and the vested interest of many politicians who wantonly opted to sacrifice the interest of the environment and the poor over their own agenda,” Gariguez said. The powerful CA on Wednesday rejected the appointment of Lopez as Environment Secretary, who cracked down on mining firms that don’t comply with environmental safety standards. Lopez earlier ordered the closure of at least 23 mining operations, mostly located in functional watersheds. The priest earlier said that vested corporate interests would play a big factor in Lopez’s confirmation. “We need to judge now the CA members and campaign not to reelect those who voted no to environmental reform agenda being pushed by Gina Lopez,” Gariguez said.

government, that he heads only the Executive department “so hindi ko talaga kontrolado ang lahat” (I do not control everything). “May mga tao ako na gusto ko, pero I share powers,” Duterte said, adding that while he has the power to appoint, the appointee has to undergo the scrutiny of the Commission on Appointments. Sweeping, inappropriate, uncalled for In a statement, Senator Panfilo Lacson, a member of the CA who voted against Lopez, said that while he is sure the President’s comment does not apply to him, “I think it is unfortunate if not inappropriate and uncalled for.” “It is a sweeping assault not only on the integrity of the members of the CA who voted for rejection but the CA itself, being an independent constitutional body,” he said. But Lacson also noted that CA members allied with
Duterte “will not cast their votes without first seeking his guidance.” Majority of Duterte’s party mates voted against Lopez. The 25-member CA rejected Lopez’ appointment after three confirmation hearings that ended Tuesday in a secret voting. Sixteen reportedly voted to reject her while eight voted to confirm. Lopez told a press conference after her rejection that big business interests were behind her ouster. “If the government is coopted by big business, what hope does the poor have? What message are we sending here, that if you want to be confirmed (by the CA), never go against big business?” “Who suffers if you kill the environment? It’s the poor. And whose duty is it to protect our people? It’s the government and when you make decisions based on business interests, you have shirked your responsibility,” she said. Lopez added that the CA members who voted against her “lost the moral ascendancy” to be in government because for them, business and money are “more important than the welfare of the people.” Washing hands Fr. Raymond Ambray, parish priest of Lingig in Surigao del Sur, said the President could have done more for Lopez. “We know well how easily he can get what he intended based on his influence on the legislators. How come he seemed to be powerless (in the case of) Gina Lopez? If the President has always the thumbprint on what is going on in his administration, then it seems that he prefers money that ‘talks’ over the perennial issue of the environment and the consequent welfare of the poor people.” But Ambray added that “no amount of washing of hands would dissociate him from ‘money talks.’ Or it is either becoming obvious that the money in in control, not him.” “I wonder how this administration is implementing change. It is getting clearer that the change that is happening now is mostly on those occupying seats of power. Indeed, ‘money talks’ as always,” he said. Dr. Jean Lindo, Gabriela Southern Mindanao chair and co-chair of the environmental group Panalipdan, told MindaNews that the President “should know that people are rooting for change.” “When he said that ‘lobby money talks,’ I needed him to make that lobby money to shut up. That declaration should not be one of defeat but a resolve to fight corruption. He needed change, then he should find another person with Gina’s determination and retain Gina even as Undersecretary,” Lindo said. Stopping corruption Duterte in the same
Monday, May 8, 2017 speech before the POA on Thursday repeated previous pronouncements that he “will stop corruption,” that he has fired “about 96 to date” mostly in the regulator y bodies, that he has suspended Energy Regulatory Commison chair Jose Salazar “because of corruption” and that he “will eventually remove him, ‘yung lahat sila” (all of them). He again spoke of how he fired a Cabinet member and a long-time ally from Davao. He said he is “trying my very best” to stop corruption but called on the Filipino people to help him. “Kayo lang ang tao eh. It is only the Filipino who can stop corruption. It is not me. I can control it but kung talagang gusto ninyong hintuin, kayo lang. All you have to do is to stop giving or do not give … ke ma-Customs, ke ma-BIR, ke sa Professional Regulatory Commission. Huwag kayong magbigay ‘pag hiningian kayo” (do not give if they ask from you). (Carolyn O. Arguillas / MindaNews)

the job from which the president can have his pick. But Duterte should avoid the bait now being hawked around that the most deserving is one who belongs to his political party PDP. He might end up with one who is a square peg in a round hole. Enough with Mike Sueno. Gina Lopez had the best of intentions but she was like a raging bull in a china shop. It’s a complicated world up there. You have interest groups, environment watchdogs, local and foreign investors, gold and nickel smugglers who in the previous administrations connived with influential men and women in the higher echelon of power and allowed the rape of our mineral resources. When Gina suspended nearly all mines and banned open pit mining operations all together she was up to an avalanche of protests. Finance Secretary Sonny Dominguez was alarmed the action will earn a magma of cases from foreign investors. Critics was quick to denigrate Sonny saying he is into mining. Sonny’s investment manager may have bought stocks in mining issues but that does not make him an owner. He had direct investments or involvement that I know of before but that is a thing of the past. In short the Secretary has broad knowledge about mining he knows what the government will face when the mines are locked up. It is not his fault that the previous administration, with then DENR Secretary Ramon Paje, went on a super roadshow in 2011 in Singapore to announce that the country is opened to mining investors. He was talking of responsible mining, end to “sins of
the past” and guaranteed a government under Pres. Benigno Aquino III which he described as “straight as an arrow”. The investors came but we never realized that the rest of Paje’s statement was a new episode of Alibaba’s fable. The loose implementation of mining laws and regulations during the Aquino regime resulted in the degradation of environment surrounding the mine sites. Like the breakdown of law and order and the institutionalization of corruption in the government the unimpeded and unregulated abuse of mining laws became the new norm. These are what Ms. Gina Lopez inherited. When she suspended and cancelled mining operations these created a furor. The mine owners deserved the retribution but what about the domestic and foreign investors who were caught in the bind? Gina was correct in suspending the mines operations but would have demanded for a program of rectif ication which should be covered by a performance bond and a PERT/CPM to monitor the progress of the program of rehabilitation or correction. What she asked was merely for the mining operators to pay PHP2-million per hectare. Period. That she will ban open pit mine all added up to the confusion and here the Commission on Appointments may have put on the alarm and breaks. Lime stones used in the manufacture of cement and sand and gravel used in infrastructures are all mined by open pit method. I can just imagine the pressure on the members of the CA when Gina announced this. Open pit mining is allowed by law but Gina says it is her prerogative to impose the ban. She pushed herself and the members of the commission on appointment in the proverbial Catch 22. The new secretary can revisit the good intentions of Gina by taking up from where she left when she suspended mining operations of those who violated the laws and caused irreparable damage to the environment. In the interim, they should submit plans and program of implementation to put things in order and back this up with performance bond which will be up to the end of the mining operations and rehabilitation. Gina, meantime, can continue her advocacies. If I were the President I will appoint her Czarina for the rehabilitation of Laguna Lake and Pasig river. I believe she can fly in this one where others fail under the onus of graft and corruption.

right from the start, a hush of consternation rustled in the halls of Congress when Lopez was appointed as the country’s top environmental watchdog. Allowing Lopez to remain as the honcho of the DENR was a threat to the interest of the mining capitalists who have invested millions for the election of their “protectors.” However, no one would believe that the CA whose members flaunted honesty and integrity as the campaign slogans (nauseating) would succumb to lobby money. Well, a friend was angry when the Cynosure tried to be civil to the CA for all its intent and purposes. “What could one expect of the CA when it now actually means “Cash Advance?” Does it sound presumptuous? Could we blame the layman, like us, who sees the Congress as a symbol of impeccability? Lopez, as a stigma to the destructive mining industry and a nemesis of corrupt government officials, was finally out of the DENR. At a time, when the country is fighting tooth and nail against environmental degradation and pollution, the absence of Lopez belligerency is a fatal loss to the country and its people. Ne ve r t hel e ss , Pre s . Duterte , a maverick fighter of corruption in the government, knows pretty well that there are still a number of people who could be a worthy replacement of Lopez. With the absence of Lopez, the unscrupulous mining investors and the crooks in Congress might be throwing a victory party now. However, Duterte knows that the right replacement of Lopez would soon come – a DENR Secretary who would aggressively continue what Lopez has started.

the golden era of Philippine environmental rehabilitation and protection” under her. “When someone is ill and dying, you don’t take his wallet and rob him but try to do everything you can to revive him - our environment is dying and our politicians choose to rob it more,” he also said. Marine conservation group Oceana Philippines considers Lopez’ rejection a loss for the Philippines. “She set the highest standards for environmental stewardship and mainstreamed partnerships with civil society organizations - a feat that merits replication by her successor,” said Oceana. Philippine Movement for Climate Justice (PMCJ) condemned CA’s decision, calling it a betrayal of and disservice to Filipinos. “CA members who rejected Lopez should be held accountable for siding with business and corporate in-

terests that make billions of money in destruction of our planet and suffering of our people.” saidPMCJ national coordinator Ian Rivera. Cinches said Lopez’ environmental track record over the years, including surpassing past environmental chiefs’ performance, augurs well for her return to DENR. “What she’s done is unprecedented,” he said. Among Lopez’ initiatives at DENR were suspending mining companies this agency’s audit deemed as violating relevant regulations. She also banned open pit mining. (Catherine J. Teves/PNA)

a hand in running the government in this country have managed to hide vital information that would have been material in determining their fitness and qualification, to the detriment of public service. In most cases, many of those who have been elected or appointed to government positions managed to secure their positions even if there are big questions about their past. -oooFILIPINOS MUST BE TAUGHT HOW TO SELECT THEIR LEADERS: This is the reason why right-thinking Filipinos should endeavor to educate our people about the rudiments of choosing our elected leaders, particularly those whose positions give them the authority to appoint people to sensitive and important offices. We should impress upon our people certain guidelines that should be used in electing officials. The first of these guidelines is that, the people to be elected must have the Spirit of God in them, so that we can be sure they will not lie, cheat, or steal. The second is that they must be qualified and competent, and that they must truly hate dishonest gain. The third is that the elected leaders must agree to become “slaves” of the people, not the people’s “kings and queens” entitled to perks and privileges. If we are to measure those who are in elected positions against these standards at this point, I will not be surprised if only a few would be found to be qualified. This is a sorry commentary not only on our leaders, but more on our people, who have allowed themselves to be unwitting tools for the scalawags, the misfits, the criminals and the immoral, to continue lording it over among us. -oooWATCH “ANG TANGING DAAN”, “KAKAMPI MO ANG BATAS”, AT FB LIVE: Please watch “Ang Tanging Daan”, a round-the-clock Bible Exposition and prayer session at www.facebook. com/angtangingdaan; and “Kakampi Mo Ang Batas”, a legal counseling and news commentary program at www. facebook.com/kakampimoangbatas.
