PRRD urges prosecutors to work with PNP, NBI for protection

By EJ ROQUE PNA

PRESIDENT Rodrigo R. Duterte on Thursday urged prosecutors to work with the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for their safety and protection.

"I also encourage the leadership of the Prosecutors’ League to work with the Philippine National Police, the National Bureau of Investigation and other relevant agencies to come up with solutions on how

to better protect our prosecutors and their families," Duterte said in his speech at the 31st Annual Convention of the Prosecutors' League of the Philippines in Palawan.

Duterte said he understands the risks of the prosecutors due to the nature of their jobs being a former prosecutor himself.

"As a former prosecutor, I understand the very important role that you play in the administration of justice, which unfortunately involves antagonizing lawless elements, See URGES, page 11

Sultan Kudarat guv receives 19 NPA surrenderers

NCMF-10 workers get training on fire prevention CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- The National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) 10 (Northern Mindanao), headed by Director Abdulnasser Masorong, through the Settlement Division and in partnership with the Bureau of Fire Protection, conducted a Lecture and Training on Fire Suppression and Prevention

on Friday.

The activity was held at the office of NCMF -10 in Cagayan de Oro City, according to Dr. Dimapuno Datu Ramos, director of the NCMF Bureau of External Relations.

Ramos said the activity was attended by NCMF employees, community leader affiliates of the NCMF, and

other tenants of the PFIC Building.

“This is in line with the directives of Secretary Saidamen B. Pangarungan to continue building ties with other government agencies and members of the Muslim and non-Muslim communities in their respective regions.

The activity also aimed to teach the NCMF employees

and affiliates regarding the current updates on safety measures that would be helpful in fire prevention in their communities,” he said.

Ramos also thanked the BFP-10 “for their time and expertise, and are grateful for the chance to strengthen ties between the two agencies.” (PR)

DAVAO CITY -- Sultan Kudarat Governor Pax Mangudadatu on Wednesday received members of the New People’s Army (NPA) who have decided to abandon the rebel movement.

During the acceptance ceremony at the Provincial Capitol in Isulan town, Mangundadatu assured surrenderers of the government’s sincerity to achieve peace. He also assured their personal safety when they return to their respective families.

“It is because of good governance that the communist terrorist group’s propaganda is continuously being defeated,” Mangudadatu said.

C ol. Ezra B alagtey, spokesperson of Eastern Mindanao Command, in an interview on Thursday said most of the surrenderers were members of Guerrilla Fronts 72 and 73 belonging to the Far South Mindanao Region that operate in the provinces of Sultan Kudarat, Cotabato, and Davao del Sur. Balagtey attributed the surrender of the 19 former NPA rebels to the military's focused operations and com-

munity support program activities.

According to Col. Adonis Bajao, commander of the Army's 1002nd Infantry (Bagwis) Brigade, the surrenderers provided vital information to thwart the rebels' extortion activities in Sultan Kudarat and Cotabato.

Bajao said the surrenderers were also made to believe that the government's infrastructure programs, such as farm-to-market roads, were just "capitalist" schemes that must be prevented.

He said the surrenderers were also encouraged to return to the fold of the law by the government's livelihood assistance under the Enhanced-Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP). (PNA)

Duterte’s war

THE emergence and confluence of black and fear propaganda on the heels of May 13 elections are too coordinated and wellorchestrated that it only succeeded in portraying how distraught the political opposition had become. It revives that infamous and desperate “oust Duterte” plot of an unlikely cabal of religious and communist terrorists, the so-called legal fronts of the CPP-NPA-NDF, Kadamay, remnants of the vanishing Yellow brigades and the oligarchs that exploit them, pan-handling nongovernment human rights watch organizations and a phalanx of media organizations and personalities.

They all pounce and punch Duterte thinking that if they will not succeed in ousting him they can at least boost the chances of their candidates in the coming polls.

You can easily spot them including the series of unexpected events that had been used to stoke the fire of hate and disenchantment. When Manila Water spigots suddenly ran dry, everyone thought the dams went dry. When informed sources bared that there’s water enough to last for 150 days an angry President Rodrigo Duterte blew his top, ordered Manila Waters to open the pipes and warned Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage Authority

to shape up or be shipped out. Eureka! Water started to flow from the taps.

The threats of extended drought and inadequacy of water supply had always haunted the national capital region. When Duterte prodded government functionaries to fast-track the construction of Kaliwa dam with China contractor and loan, the critics were fast to denounce the idea saying that Japan can do the project at a much lesser cost by constructing a weir instead. A weir is run-of-river structure while a dam can impound water and maybe harnessed for hydropower plant or irrigation.

The Duterte government early on, included the Chico river dam multi-purpose project to irrigate thousands of hectares of arable lands and make these productive.

Because China was offering long-term loans and cheap money. This project was in the initial list of big-ticket projects which government planners approved. Nobody raised a voice of protest then.

And then out of the blue, an aging Alberto del Rosario resurrected and along with Justice Antonio Carpio and ex-Ombudsman Conchita Morales Carpio suddenly mounted an attack on the Duterte government assailing it for incurring loans from China

which the government, they warned, will not be able to pay. They proceeded to conjure a scenario where China will cede the islands in the West Philippine Seas and mine the oil deposits to settle the loans. My gosh, as they speak, The Philippines loan from China is not even 1% of the total indebtedness of the country.

In his adopted country the Netherlands, meanwhile, Jose Ma. Sison, the chieftain of the New People’s Army, was given generous space in ABS-CBN denouncing Duterte for terminating peace negotiations. Which brings us to how a number of European countries have been falling prey to nongovernment organizations (NGOs) who are parading as human rights and environment watchdogs and literacy and truth crusaders.

Time and again we witness how these pan-handling NGOs, some of them have inter-locking officers and members, parade in the streets parroting the same slogans, placards and masks.

They use innocent groups like indigenous peoples and children. They take pictures and videos and together with their “project proposals” include these materials along with newspaper clippings submit these to donor foundations in Europe for funding.

This is the same anatomy

Still, the President was not available on that date and the BTA had to defer to the President’s desire to attend. It was reset again to March 25 which the Palace confirmed; yet, it had for the third time to postpone it to March 29.

On March 29, there was no fourth postponement.

The BARMM inauguration went on! *** *** *** What inauguration! The first I ever know. An evening affair (from 6:30 p.m. to around 7 p.m.)

At 5 am of March 30, I opened MindaNews for reports on the inauguration.

No report. I searched. There were two, one at the PNA website posted at 9:17 pm March 29 and the other at The Manila Bulletin’s posted a little later – identical reports written by PNA. PNA said the President “arrived here around 6:30 p.m., banged an “agong” (Muslim brass drum) marking the induction of the BARMM and its interim parliament, the 80-member Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA)”. This implied the rush. Had it to be held that late on March 29 to avert another postponement? *** *** *** PNA des cr ib e d t he

President’s speech as one of his shortest, reiterating his commitment to work for the benefit of the Moro people until the end of his term in 2022.

He told the BARMM officials: “Let me repeat and reiterate my solemn promise to you a sacred one, that in my term and for the next three years, we will all work and truly work for the benefit of the Bangsamoro people.”

Unless, he was playing politics, he did not have to repeat any promise, solemn or fake. This is his government’s part and future governments’, too, in its covenant, RA 11054 or the Bangsamoro Organic Law, with the Bangsamoros. *** *** *** Having celebrated his 74th birthday on the day before, the President said he considered the success of BARMM as his greatest birthday gift. Whatever that success would be was still a dream. He, indeed, was exhorting the BTA to make the dream gift a reality, saying: “To my dear Bangsamoro sisters and brothers, in the BTA, the power to chart the course of your region’s future is now in your hands, I trust that you will wield this power with utmost

GENERAL Santos City-On February 22, 2019, in Malacañan, President Rodrigo R. Duterete swore in the members of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) which he had appointed with MILF Chair Al Haj Murad Ebrahim as chief minister. The BTA, the Parliament, is the interim government of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) that will replace the 30-year old Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). That installed BARMM. On February 26, ARMM Chair Mujiv Hataman formally turned over the ARMM government to BTA Chair Murad. The ARMM was deemed completely abolished, the BARMM established. The BTA organized and set on March 11 the BARMM inauguration and its first session. After that it can start its mandate to build a new governmental structure on the remains of the ARMM for the fullfledged BARMM by June 30, 2022 when the first regular officials will be elected.

But the President could not make the date; it was reset to March 21 even without the President attending.

of grand deception used by NGO beneficiaries in Sri Lanka which funded the Tamil guerrillas that almost overthrow their government. Not until the government waged an all-out war against the “rebels” that the Tamils finally gave up. But like the New People’s Army of the Communist Party of the Philippines, they created havoc, murdered government officials, innocent civilians, pillage villages and demanded ransoms from corporate and small-scale farms and government contractors to name a few. The perdition created by these terrorists is unquantifiable it almost beg the question whether these donor countries in Europe, US of A and Canada are really friends of the Philippines or they nurture terror groups to weaken our country and in the aftermath yield to their pressures. Isn’t it a wonderment why the Netherlands still harbors the CPP/NPA chieftain Jose Ma. Sison despite their avowed abhorrence against terrorist organizations which listed CPP/NPA among them.

Strange.

This is the part of the BTA and future Bangsamoro governments in the same covenant, RA 11054. But no exhortation can make the Bangsamoros succeed unless present and future governments do their part as agreed – without prodding and pleading. *** *** *** In his welcome address, BTA Chair Murad said that when the President banged the “agong” that marked a new beginning for the Bangsamoro people. The BTA is the interim government of the newly established BARMM until June 30, 2022 – building on, where feasible and practicable, on solid remains of the ARMM.

Transforming Education in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao

By SHAMMAH YANA SUNGA-ABBAS MDN-BARMM

ON April 3, 2019, more than 100 educators, CSO leaders, policy makers, academe, teachers, researchers, students and media were gathered in KUTAWATO PAGANA to discuss education issues in the region and develop agenda for transformative education in BARMM. The first day of the BARMM Transformative Education Conference was opened by no less than the BARMM Minister of Education, Honorable Mahagher Iqbal as Keynote Speaker.

Engr. Addie Unsi, National Coordinator of E-Net Philippines and the lead convener of the conference said in the opening program that recent political developments in Mindanao where we have a new established Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) with government led by the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) provide an opportunity to move education reforms forward. Education is critical for lasting peace and sustainable development so it is highly important to begin the conversation on transforming education in BARMM, according to Engr. Unsi.

The impacts of protracted conflicts in the

past are huge in terms of human development, education, health, livelihood of Bangsamoro people, and whole development in the region.

The BARMM has the highest number of illiterates and out of school children and youth due to multiple barriers of access to quality education.

BARMM has complex issues and need for strategic solutions. Education is crucial to the achievement of this strategic change. Paulo Freire once said, “Education does not change the world, Education changes people, People change the world”.

If we continue to develop people in the post-conflict affected areas, there is a better hope to transform communities into lasting peace and sustainable development.

Transformative Education is sought as driver of social justice, sustainable development, individual and collective freedom and joy of learning together. Education today is, more than ever, a necessary condition for social inclusion and sustainable development.

The group through Benjo Basas, TDC National Chairman, expressed that Transformative Education in BARMM should have

these elements as follows: Education policies align with national priorities, and global commitments; balance education incorporating divine knowledge and values and the 21st century skills; link of education to other sectors; system of education that is responsive, nimble, accountable, and technology-enabled; the governance of education that is participatory, transparent, accommodating, and promote equality; innovation in the delivery of different modalities of education and learning; adequate, qualified, trained, motivated, empowered teaching and non-teaching personnel; active involvement of civil society at all levels of education; and ensuring free public education, sustainably resourced and encourage innovate financing for education.

The group is confident that this conference shall be the start of continuing discourse and dialogues to strengthen education system in BARMM. Since the number one priority of the Bangsamoro government is education, the group is optimistic that recommendations from the conference shall be taken into consideration by the Ministry of Education and the leadership of the Interim Chief of Minister.

Bank Indonesia and Bank of Thailand have likewise agreed to start exploring the possibility of expanding the scope of their existing local currency settlement framework.

The greater use of local currencies in settlement of trade and other areas is aimed at reducing the transaction costs and foreign exchange risks particularly amidst the current volatility faced by

currencies in advanced economies. Moreover, the wider use of local currencies in the ASEAN Economic Community enhances economic and financial integration, as well as spurs further development of the foreign exchange and financial markets, within the region.

The progress towards greater financial integration in the region is a welcome development as we witness the expansion of similar arrangements that were launched in 2017 namely, the Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) concluded between Bank Indonesia and Bank Negara Malaysia, and From left to right: Governor Perry Warjiyo, Bank Indonesia; Governor Veerathai Santipbetween Bank Indonesia and rabhob, Bank of Thailand; Governor Benjamin E.

Sta. Ana National High School, Vicenta Nograles National High School, Maa National High School, Leon Garcia National High School, Sto.

Davao, among the first to roll out national ID registration--PSA DAVAO DEL NORTE -Davao ranks among the first regions to implement the Philippine Identification system mandated under Republic Act 11055 or the National ID Law signed by President Rodrigo Duterte in August 2018.

In a special edition of Kapihan sa Kapitolyo, Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Regional Director Ruben D. Abaro Jr said this, and he expected the national ID system to start

rolling out by last quarter of the year.

“I would like to encourage everyone to enroll,” he said.

Being the lead agency to run the national ID system, PSA will be setting up a number of PSA-accredited registration centers where people can personally visit to have their biometrics captured.

Purchasing power may trigger hike of poverty threshold DAVAO DEL NORTE -The purchasing power of consumers may trigger an increase in the Annual Per Capita Poverty Threshold of a certain locality, Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Regional Director Ruben D. Abaro Jr said.

In a special edition of Kapihan sa Kapitolyo, he cited as an example a consumer picking her choices of food. She picks the pricey 1-6-0 rice variety over other cheaper rice varieties and chooses sayote of a higher price than the ordinary green papaya for her tinolang manok.

Abaro likened such consumer preferences of the people in Davao del Norte which posted the highest Annual Per Capita Poverty

Threshold in 2015 among the provinces in Mindanao.

The 2015 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) released by PSA in October 2016 shows that Davao del Norte posted P24,424 annual poverty threshold which was an increase of more than P3,000 from P20,841 in 2012.

Abaro took time explaining the figure in response to calls of the Provincial Government of Davao del Norte for better public understanding why the province ranked among the “40 poorest provinces” based on Annual Per Capita Poverty Threshold.

Abaro is also looking at the possibility of PSA to run mobile registration centers in coordination with local government units (LGUs).

“That is among our strategies,” he said.

“All persons and resident aliens” including children of 5 years of age and above are to register but Abaro said children have to reregister with PSA during See ROLL, page 9

Mindanao is where the concentration of orientation on health and safety is prioritized like all other areas in the region considering the number of workers and vibrancy of businesses.

Villanueva Municipal Mayor and the League of Municipalities Misamis Oriental Chapter President Jennie Rosalie T. Uy believed that since Misamis Oriental is slowly becoming to be highly industrialized, orientations such as these is among the best preparations for all the technical staff of companies to increase their level of awareness.

In addition, she said, “The first reason why we need to know the requirements on general labor standards and the provisions of technical safety is to protect our employers and every workingman in our province. We are therefore espousing a more safe work environment thereby creating a healthy workforce.”

Sat-Sun, April 6-7, 2019

Discussions included Republic Act No. 11058 or the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Law and its implementing rules and regulations, Department Order No. 13-1998 or the Guidelines in OSH in the Construction Industry and salient provisions of Technical Safety Inspection.

Local Government Unit (LGU) of Tagoloan Municipal Civil Engineer Paul A. Omongos gave his insights about the orientation, “TSI reminds us about the importance of safety and how to make it as a way of life. It also helps the LGUs in implementing the safety procedures to its constituents.”

He further said it is noteworthy to advocate that workers are now vested with the right to refuse unsafe work and unsafe condition. The worker is now imbibed with the right to seek for personal protective equipment not as a choice but more of a necessity and requirement that employers are under obligation to make personal protective equipment (PPEs) available

for use by every worker for free.

Engr. Omongos also shared that he learned about the penalties of violating the safety rules, the levels of risks, and the prescribed documents that need to be complied with.

The compliance to OSH policies poses a great challenge to the LGUs that need apt advocacy for awareness and consequent practice encouraging workers to make it as a way of life by the motivation of management in

sub-leader as Ali Abdulmalik, brother of notorious BIFF leader Esmael Abdulmalik alias “Abu Toraife”, long wanted by the law for a string of bombing and other terroristic activities in Central Mindanao.

“Ali (Abdulmalik) was killed in a clash with troopers from the Army’s 601st Brigade in Barangay Pamalian, Shariff Saydona Mustapha, at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday,” Encinas said.

Ali, together with his brother Abu Toraife, were both trained in bomb-making

by Malaysian terrorist Zulkifli Abdhir alias “Marwan”, who was killed on Jan. 25, 2015 during the controversial Mamasapano clash.

Meanwhile, the 6ID said that Wednesday’s bombing in Isulan, Sultan Kudarat, may have been the handiwork of the BIFF, pointing out that Ali’s death occurred only some 10 hours before a bomb went off at a restaurant in the area.

“There is a possibility that the bombing of Carlito’s restaurant in Isulan was to avenge the death of Ali, younger brother of Abu Toraife, by preying (on) innocent civilians,” said Maj. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, the Army’s 6ID commander.

Initial investigation by the police, however, pointed to extortion as the motive behind the Isulan bomb attack.

Police said the management of the restaurant has been receiving text messages from an extortion group since March 28 demanding PHP50,000 in monthly protection money.

Wednesday’s bombing incident left at least 17 customers of the restaurant wounded, including minors and a pregnant woman. (PNA)

Arances also said this activity aims to send a powerful message on the need for solutions to climate change.

Meanwhile, Past President of Golden Lions Club Rio Mencias de Barras shared, “It is a known fact that Mother Earth can heal itself. People need nature to survive. Let us always remember that ecological stewardship is a shared responsibility, not just by individuals or groups, but rather by all the stakeholders.”

From its roots in Australia to Ozamiz City, united with the different organizations of the different parts of the world in fighting climate change, de Barras said Ozamiz City led by the Golden Omega Leo Club has been actively participating in the Earth Hour since 2015 and has implemented sustainable measures to adhere to its ideal.

It has also joined the zero waste movement in support of the “reduce, reuse, recycle” objective of Republic Act 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000) among its many policies and measures to maintain a sustainable environment.

As they wait for the hour to end, they celebrated by dancing to the beat of their cultural songs, bringing unity to their aim of showing their love and care to the Mother Earth. (Shaina Mae Nagtalon/PIA 10)

Poverty...

from page 8 falls below the poverty threshold, one is considered as relatively poor, and if it goes higher than the poverty line, one is relatively non-poor.

Per PSA definition, Annual Per Capita Poverty Threshold means “the minimum income/ expenditure required for a family/individual to meet the basic food and non-food requirements” in a year.

According to the PSA basic non-food requirements to involve expenditures for ”clothing and footwear, housing; fuel, light, water; maintenance and minor repairs; rental of occupied dwelling units; medical care; education; transportation and communication; nondurable furnishings; household operations; and personal care & effects”.

In conducting FIES survey, the enumerator determines the food and non-food expenditures of respondents, and then another round of interview is conducted to know the sources of income, Abaro explained.

Dabaonons can afford Meanwhile, Abaro noted that the presence of food chains, restaurants, hotels, malls and other business establishments in Davao del Norte had made readily available some consumer goods.

Having the relative capacity to buy, Dabaonons showed preferences for higher priced goods over the indigenous one of lower costs, consequently pushing the poverty threshold of the province, Abaro noted.

He also noted the urbanization of Davao del Norte with three cities of Tagum, Panabo and the Island Garden City of Samal as a factor that pushed higher the poverty threshold of the province.

However, Abaro said that his observations regarding relative economic factors noted to have triggered the poverty threshold to increase, “needs further study” as his office only deals with statistics.

Coefficient of Variation On the other hand, Abaro revealed that the poverty incidence statistics of Davao del Norte “may not be that precise ”because the coefficient of variation is more than 20%.”

“The lower the value of coefficient of variation, the more precise the estimate is,” he explained.

With a coefficient variation of 24.8 percent, the 2015 Poverty Incidence figure of Davao del Norte “may fall within the range of 15.5% to 36%.”

“We are not too sure where is it falling but the point estimate is at 26.1 (percent),” he said referring to the rate poverty incidence of Davao del Norte based on the 2015 FIES. He attributed this wide range of estimate to the small sample size of only 400 respondent-Dabaonons when FIES was conducted in 2015.

But he was sure that the 2018 poverty statistics of Davao del Norte would become more precise as the survey sample size of the province was raised to 2,000.

“The bigger the sample size the better the result,” he said while putting emphasis on provinces with footnotes indicated in the 2015 FIES. “These are explanations and warning to users (in interpreting the data),” he said.

Assures... from page 8 bombing incident.

The blast in Isulan occurred at around three o’clock in the afternoon yesterday (April 3).

“We are certain that Dabawenyos are safer because any incident that happened outside including the Isulan bombing incident is being looked into by all security forces,” De Leon said.

Colonel Randolph Cabangbang, deputy commander of the Task Force Davao said that the city has been placed in Threat Level III for so long.

He said the basis of the declaration is a generic threat that is experienced by major cities in Mindanao.

Cababang stressed the threat is not specific on Davao City alone, but it is shared by all urban centers.

He revealed that in the past, there were five major cities which were subjected by diversionary attacks.

Cabangbang stressed that since the security forces want to be a step ahead than terror groups, the city is placed under Threat Level III. He said that threat level III is not even imminent but more of a possibility.

Cabangbang said that the latest Isulan bombing could be motivated by business jealousy based on the latest post blast investigation, and the coming up an improvised explosive device-prototype.

“If that is the case, the city is very far from the reasons why it happened there.

However, we continue to be prepared,” he stressed.

Cabangbang said that all the security measures in the city are in place, even if bombing incidents happen outside the city.

He said residents can be more proactive with any incident by training more about bomb awareness.

“What we want to happen is that the city residents sleep soundly because they know what to do once a contingency occurs,” Cabangbang said. (PIA XI-Joey Sem G. Dalumpines)

“What we are trying to do is detection and response for endpoint only. So we are expanding to cover not just the endpoints but the rest of possible entry points in organizations,” Lainez said.

The firm’s Country Manager Oscar Visaya said it intends to work with telecommunication companies to ensure cybersecurity protection in the country.

He said one of the challenges in ensuring the security and protection of vital information in the country is the lack of skilled manpower in cybersecurity.

“The reason why cybersecurity is difficult is the lack of skilled staff. The complexity needs skilled people to be able to manage it or they need a revolutionary product or approach to be able to manage it,” Visaya noted.

Palo Alto Networks is a multinational cybersecurity firm with its headquarters based in Santa Clara, California.

It offers various security platforms which include advanced firewalls and cloudbased offerings that extend those firewalls to cover other aspects of security. (PNA)

from page 4 Thus, Duterte will fight his own battle within and without. Within, because there are elements in our political spectrum, the oligarchy in the church and those that controls the industry and the media that bedevils his campaign against corruption, drug syndicates and organized crime.

And because he refuses to be controlled by the domineering foreign powers and their yellow tentacles that are ensconced in their respective comfort zones, some retiring, some retired, some are suffering from the onset of Alzheimers and others irrelevant.

Notes...

from page 4 moral governance – is the biggest challenge for the BTA. The first step is for the BTA members to plant firmly the foundation. The second is for the BTA to indoctrinate the Bangsamoros to appreciate moral governance and to rally behind the BTA. The third is for the succeeding Bangsamoro Parliament, the next and the next, to continue strengthening moral governance and uniting the Bangsamoros around it.

Can it, will it be done? With Allah’s help, Yes! Hence, the vow before the Qur’an. *** *** *** The inauguration was a drama. The principal actors made solemn promises filling the elated Bangsamoros with hope. Waking up in the morning, and many, many mornings thereafter, what Bangsamoro (short for BARMM) awaits – fulfillment or still denial? *** *** *** POSTSCRIPT: The backdrop of the Sharif Kabunsuan Complex, venue of the affair, read: WELCOME/ PRESIDENT RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE/ INAUGURATION OF THE BANGSAMORO REGION IN MUSLIM MINDANAO – the name of the President twice the size of the name of the Region.

Was the “Welcome” more significant than the “Inaugurtion”? *** *** *** Why were the inauguration, the oath-taking of the BTA members and the turn-over of the ARMM to BARMM Interim Chief Minister not held simultaneously last February 22, most preferably at Sharif Kabunsuan Complex than in Malacañan? That would have saved time, money and efforts.

The BTA could have started its mandate on February 23 rather than on March 30, a delay of more than one month. *** *** *** When MNLF Chair Nur Misuari visited Malacañan last March 20, President Duterte apologized to his “beloved friend” for their unimplemented “agreements” on federalism. Nowhere in its report did PNA mention that the President apologized to the BTA for causing the repeated postponement of the inauguration.

Does this show the President holds Misuari in higher esteem than the BTA? patponcediaz@yahoo.com

Duterte asked for the prosecutors' continuous support for his administration's reforms in the country's justice system.

from page 1 violations since October last year.

In this city alone, more than 10,000 people were apprehended for various traffic violations, including drunk driving and driving without a helmet, said Police Major Ma Theresita Gaspan, spokesperson of the Davao City Police Office (DCPO).

The figure represents the apprehensions made since October last year up to this month when LTO-11 intensified its crackdown on unsafe driving.

Benjamin Antonio Jr., LTO-11 Chief of the Law Enforcement Division, noted that in the provinces of Compostela Valley and Davao del Sur alone, they recorded some 4,500 violations on the first day of the heightened road safety campaign in October.

"Drivers may not be aware they have been caught by a high-end speed gun by the LTO traffic enforcers. Enforcers are out under a cool shade of a big tree somewhere in Nabunturan town, the busy streets of the city or somewhere along the national highway in Padada, Davao del Sur," Antonio said during the Armed Forces of the Philippines – Philippine National Police press briefing here Wednesday.

In Compostela Valley, Antonio said most motorists were surprised, apparently unaware that the traffic enforcers now use speed gun to catch violators.

LTO-11 has recently acquired a high-speed gun capable of capturing the plate number of at least three moving vehicles at one time and their actual speed. The speed gun contains a SIM card that has details of the violation, location, time, and date of the incident.

Antonio said he expects the number of violators to rise in the coming weeks as the LTO and the Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board (LTFRB) started a crackdown on “colorum” or unregistered public vehicles.

During the first day of operation against “colorum” vehicles, the joint team already apprehended four vans and two taxi cabs that were operating outside their franchise line in Compostela Valley.

In Davao del Sur, the LTO apprehended nine passenger vans operating outside their franchise line and three multicab units plying between Digos and Padada without franchise. (PNA)

March inflation lower at 3.3 percent HEADLINE inflation slowed down to 3.3 percent year-on-year in March 2019 from 3.8 percent in the previous month. The resulting year-to-date average of 3.8 percent is now within the Government's inflation target range of 3.0 percent ± 1.0 percentage point for the year. Core inflation—which excludes selected volatile food and energy items to measure underlying price pressures—has also eased to 3.5 percent in March from 3.9 percent in February.

Month-on-month seasonally-adjusted headline inflation was unchanged at 0.1 percent in March 2019 compared to the previous month's level.

Year-on-year inflation rate of key food commodities such as fish, fruits, and vegetables slowed down in March while rice inflation decelerated with the onset of the summer harvest season and continued arrival of rice imports. At the same time, slower price increases of large-weighted non-food items such as housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels along with restaurant and miscellaneous goods and services also contributed to the slowdown in overall inflation during the month, offsetting the impact of higher international oil prices.

The latest inflation reading is consistent with the BSP's expectations that inflation will continue to settle within the 2-4 percent target range for 2019 and 2020. The BSP will continue to monitor emerging price and output conditions to ensure price stability conducive to a balanced and sustainable economic growth.

IDC breaks ground for Città Bella at Primavera City UPTOWN, Cagayan de Oro -- Italpinas Development Corporation held its groundbreaking ceremony last March 26 for CITTÀ BELLA at Primavera City’s which is the Phase 2 development of Primavera City, the company’s second development in Uptown, Cagayan de Oro. The event was well-attended by business partners, real estate practitioners, media partners and City Councilor George Goking.

“One of IDC’s goals is to build its name as recognized leader in green real estate developments.

And to invest in areas with strong economic growth potentials like, just like Northern Mindanao” said Arch.

Romolo Nati during his speech.

“And for Cagayan de Oro” he also added “it is a fast-growing city in a strategic location with a well-developed

infrastructure backbone.

Cagayan de Oro has an excellent connectivity to major production areas and markets, a through the presence of an

international port and an internationalstandard airport, and, furthermore, has a diverse range of eco-tourism attractions.”

“In 2010, when

Arch. Romolo V. Nati lowers the time capsule on the development site.

we started our first project in CDO, we knew that we were facing a big challenge but, as for now, the markets have proven us that we made the right choice–

both the property market that bought up our flagship building, Primavera Residences, and the stock market which validated our investment in Mindanao” explained IDC’s CEO, Arch.

Romolo Valentino Nati.

Primavera City will offer distinctive Italian design combined with passive building technology such as shadow and sunlight control,

wind cooling and shape performance.

Photovoltaic panels are to be installed vertically, parallel to the building walls facing east, and horizontally to maximize efficiency in solar energy generation.

The Primavera City project has been awarded as Best Mixed-Use development in the Philippines by the Asia Pacific Property Awards last May 2017.
