MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte stressed the country’s need of China’s help in infrastructure, during a meeting with officials of China Communications Construction Co. (CCCC) Ltd., at Malacanang Palace the other day. “And I must say that we need the --- really the help of China in our infrastructure. Nothing seems to be moving here at a fast rate because of traffic and of course, the lack of viable infrastructure,” the President stressed. Talking to the Chinese delegation, Duterte said: “First of all, I’d like to welcome your delegation and we are happy that you had the time to pass by to talk about anything and everything,.” “So, we are hopeful that our talks now will produce results for the good of your country and for our welfare also, as you are trying to

help us,” the President said. President Duterte extended as well his gratitude to Chinese President Xi Jinping “for going out of his way to help us.” “And I must say that we need the --- really the help of China in our infrastructure. Nothing seems to be moving here at a fast rate because of traffic and of course, the lack of viable infrastructure,” the President stressed. CCCC is a transportation infrastructure group in China that is principally engaged in the design and construction of transportation infrastructure, dredging and heavy machinery manufacturing business. During the meeting, CCCC President Chen Fenjian expressed gratitude to the Philippine government for allowing it to bridge better connections between the two nations. He particularly noted

that President Duterte’s state visit to Beijing in October last year brought forth promising infrastructure agreements between the Philippines and China. President Duterte, for his part, reiterated his administration’s continued commitment to open new economic alliances with its Asian neighbors. He vowed to keep pushing for stronger policies that would make it easier for foreign businesses and investments to thrive in the country. The President also expressed hope that the Philippines’ stronger relationship with China would pave a way to greatly improve the lives of Filipinos, as well as to promote peace in the region and in the world. In addition, the Chief Executive asked CCCC to extend his gratitude to the See need, page 11

Avian flu monitoring still on ZAMBOANGA CITY -- The Task Force Avian Influenza has continued its monitoring even as this city has been declared free from avian influenza. Dr. Mario Arriola, city veterinarian officer, on Thursday said the monitoring is focused on the traveling or migratory birds since the month of September nears. It has been noted that every September, migratory birds flock to the wetlands of Zamboanga State College of Marine Science and Technology (ZSCMST), which also serves as bird sanctuary in this city. Arriola said included in the monitoring are the wetlands in 18 of this city’s 98 barangays. He disclosed there were reported “questionable mortality” at a poultry farm in Barangay Cabaluay but laboratory analysis on blood samples taken yielded negative of bird flu.

MSU-Main classes push through amid conflict By Lou Ellen L. Antonio

ILIGAN CITY, Mindanao Hour, Aug. 22 (PIA) -- The Mindanao State University (MSU) - Main campus pushed through its opening of classes despite of the ongoing conflict in Marawi City. Twelve buses were provided to ferry approximately 600 students to the campus. Rigid inspection was conducted by the military at the Overton, Barangay Maria Cristina, Iligan City. Husnie Abdul Malik, 4th Year BS Civil Engineering, decided to return to the campus despite of the ongoing hostilities as he believes that the government is exerting its efforts to secure the students. “Hindi po ito hindrance what will make my life colorful. Alam ko pong sa tulong ng MSU ay matutupad ito dahil nagbigay ito ng maraming opportunities sa akin,” says Malik. [This conflict will not hinder me to make my

life colorful. I believe that through MSU, this will come true, as it gave me a lot of opportunities.] Violeta Hont Engracia, dean of College of Public Affairs, said, “nobody can really give us 100 percent security. Only God knows. But we who we often go we know that MSU is safe and secure.” In line with the opening of classes, Balik Eskwela program was organized by the Young Moro Professional Network (YMPN) in coordination with the Division of Student Affairs. “We, the organizers, are optimistic that life for MSU must go on. Our involvement here is a great manifestation of the credibility and justification that MSU is a successful university,” says Asmarie Labao, chairperson of YMPN-Northern Mindanao.

GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- Six houses were totally destroyed while 14 others sustained partial damages after flashfloods swept riverside communities in four villages in Tupi town in South Cotabato on Thursday afternoon. Emil Sumagaysay, Tupi Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office head, said Friday a major river swelled starting around 2 p.m. and triggered flashfloods following heavy rains in the area. He said the floods affected communities in portions of Barangays Acmonan, Linan, Cebuano and Bololmala that were traversed by a tributary of the Marbel River. No casualty was reported due to the floods, he said. “There was a localized thunderstorm so the rains were quite heavy in our upland areas,” Sumagaysay said in a radio interview. Citing their initial assessment, he said three houses at Sitio Datalta, Barangay Acmonan were totally destroyed and eight others sustained various damages as a result of the floods. He said a house was also reported as totally destroyed in Barangay Bololmala and another in Barangay Linan. In Barangay Cebuano, he said a house was totally destroyed while six others were partially damaged after being submerged in floodwaters and mud. Sumagaysay said the

displaced households in Barangays Acmonan Linan, Cebuano and Bololmala are presently staying with their relatives. The others affected in Barangay Cebuano were able to return to their homes after the floods subsided on Thursday night. Aside from the damaged houses, he said there were also reported damages to crops, especially pineapple, and several farm animals were washed away and drowned the floods. “Our damage assessment is still ongoing and we received reports of damages to road networks, riverbank protection structures and other infrastructure,” he said. He said the local government gathered the affected residents on Friday morning at the barangay hall of Acmonan and provided them with food and other relief items. Sumagaysay said the local government remains on alert due to the possibility of heavy rains, especially in the afternoon, and might trigger floods and landslides. He noted that the four flood-hit barangays among the areas earlier identified by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau as highly prone to weather-related disasters. The other areas being monitored are upland and riverside communities in Barangays Lunen, Tubeng, Bunano and Simbo, he said. (AVE/PNA

Heeding the request of GSIS

COA to report public offices that fail to remit GSIS premium, loan payments The Commission on Audit (COA) heeded the request of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) to audit the compliance of all public agencies with the law mandating the remittance not only of GSIS contributions but also of loan repayments of government workers to the state pension fund. COA Chairperson Michael G. Aguinaldo directed all COA auditors under Memorandum No. 2017-15 dated August 8, 2017, to report delinquent agencies who are remiss in paying premium and loan amortization and those who fail to remit on time, citing Section 6 of Republic Act 8291. All these, he said, will be included in COA’s annual audit report so that “penal sanctions may be imposed upon the responsible officials and employees” who violated the law. The COA chief issued the order after GSIS Chairman

Francisco Duque III and Officer-in-Charge Nora Malubay-Saludares sought COA’s help in the pension fund’s premium and loan payment collection efforts. The GSIS officials appealed to COA to check agencies’ compliance in paying the required GSIS premiums, Employees’ Compensation (EC) contributions, and amortizations for various GSIS loans on time. “We laud COA in assisting us to address the nonpayment of premiums and loans which has been a long-standing concern of GSIS because it compromises the benefits of GSIS members. Loan balances, If left unpaid, will balloon to unmanageable amounts that will significantly reduce the benefits of members and leave them in precarious situations when they retire or separate from government,” Chairman Duque stressed. He also said that GSIS has to boost its collec-

GenSan eyed as pilot area for electric train

GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- After getting the nod of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) as trial site for its “trainlike-bus” dubbed hybrid electric road train (Hert), this city will get another chance to be among the first in the country to test another transport innovation of the agency. City Councilor Dominador Lagare Jr., chair of the city council’s committee on transportation, said Thursday DOST has offered to deploy in the city by next year the locally designed and developed hybrid electric train (HET). He said the agency’s officials made the offer after they personally conducted a survey and ocular inspection of potential routes in the city three weeks ago. They specifically found the area from Barangays Tingacan to Lagao here as ideal site for the HET, he said. The proposed site, which also covers portions of Barangay Katangawan, is traversed by the General Santos-Davao highway. “The area extends like a straight line and they found it perfect for the construction of a railroad for the electric train,” Lagare said. He said the preparatory works for the project could start as early as January next year based on their initial discussions with DOST officials. The DOST introduced and initially tested last year the five-car HET, which runs

from 60 to 80 kilometers per hour, on a stretch of tracks of the Philippine National Railways in Manila and Laguna. Developed by the DOST’s Metals Industry Research and Development Center, the HET was among the research and development projects pursued by the agency to address traffic congestion in urban areas. The agency acquired the bogie for the train from Korean company Sung Shin Rolling Stock Technology Co., Ltd., but the train’s body, parts, accessories and equipment were fabricated and built by local companies. Meantime, Lagare said the DOST has started the process for the transport of the HERT from Cebu to this city. “The bidding is currently ongoing for the transport of the road train that would cost P1.6 million,” he said. The HERT has just completed its six-month testrun in Cebu City and will undergo another trial run for five to six months here starting October. The road train, which was launched by DOST in 2015, was designed by Filipino engineers and made with locally available parts, an agency briefer said. It can run at a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour and is mainly powered by hybrid diesel fuel and electric-powered battery. It was designed as energyefficient vehicle and does See pilot, page 11

tion efficiency to strengthen its capabilities to fund the future benefits of its members and pensioners. In a related development, Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Leonor M. Briones also responded to GSIS’s request to prioritize the payment of GSIS premium and loan payments over all other private

lenders. Sec. Briones issued DepEd Order No. 38 series of 2017, reiterating the prioritization of GSIS premium and obligations as first preference in employees’ salary deductions. She also directed agency authorized officers to ensure that the Php4,000 net take home pay under the General Appropriations

Act is observed after GSIS loan amortizations are deducted; warrant the prompt payment of premiums and loans; and educate DepEd employees on the consequences of late or nonpayment of loans. “We welcome the quick and responsive action of Sec. Briones because we do not want the payment

of GSIS loan to take a back seat now and allow members to suffer later after penalties and surcharges have swelled to an unmanageable level,” Chairman Duque exclaims. “We are confident that the impact of this synergy among GSIS, COA and DepEd will redound to a brighter future for GSIS and its members,” he beams.

Speaking Out

There is no excuse for murder! The killing of 17-year old Kian de los Santos could have been just another statistic in the alarmingly growing list of casualties in the on-going all-out drug war. In just two days last week, 57 were killed in separate operations in Bulacan and Metro Manila – a much higher daily casualty rate than in the war against the Maute terrorists in Marawi City. As in previous cases, Kian was initially reported as having fired at policemen engaged in an anti-drug operation. This gave the supposed law enforcers no alternative but to fire back, fatally wounding the teenager. A photo of a caliber .45 pistol in Kian’s left hand

was Exhibit A in what police termed as a very clear case of “nanlaban”. But things did not turn out well for three Caloocan City police operatives who were involved in the incident. Two of them got caught on cam dragging away an apparently helpless, defenseless young man away from the scene of the arrest. And that was the last time, Kian was seen alive. Kian was right-handed. Two separate medico-legal examinations conducted both by the PNP and the Public Attorney’s Office more or less agreed that Kian had no powder burns. His bullet wounds indicated that Ian was kneeling with his head almost flat on the ground when he was shot.

He was shot at close range. Public outrage over the injustice – even among the supporters of the drug war – was swift and rightly so. Kian was executed. It was murder. Even at one point in Thursday’s senate hearings, PNP Chief Bato de la Rosa exclaimed: “Nakatalikod at babarilin mo? Kriminal ka!” The involved policemen tried – unsuccessfully though – to brand the dead teenager as a drug courier, a charge vehemently denied by Kian’s family, friends and neighbors. But even if true, the allegation was completely irrelevant, as pointed out by Senator Frank Drilon. The point was whether or not the

Ignacio Bunye three policemen correctly followed protocol. The double irony in the case of Kian was that he and his family supported President Duterte, believing that Duterte would end the scourge of drugs. Kian, who dreamed of one day becoming a policeman, died in the hands of policemen. Thank God for CCTV. At least in Kian’s case, overzealous enforcers - who may have misinterpreted the President’s assurance that no policeman or soldier would go to jail for doing See murder, page 11

Dance with My Muse the Spirit or “Muse” in his relentless effort to grow. Even while working as a full-time mentor, the artist still managed to launch three of his four solo shows—a commitment that would be almost impossible for one with a 27-unit load. But somehow, his teaching job did not make a dent in his energy and passion. The artist knows discipline in studio production because he agrees with Steven Pressfield’s statement: “This is the other secret that real artists know and wannabes… don’t. When we sit down each day and do our work, power concentrates around us. The Muse takes note of our dedication. She approves. We have earned favor in her sight. When we sit down and work, we become like a magnetized rod that attracts iron filings. Ideas come.

Think A Minute

Don’t Be Crabby

Think a minute… Crabs are very interesting creatures. If you put several of them in a bucket, the moment one of them starts crawling out of the bucket, the other crabs will pull him back down. So not one of the crabs ever succeeds in getting out. They just keep stopping each other from climbing higher than the rest of them. We humans are perhaps more like crabs than we think. We see a good thing the minute someone else sees it first! “We try to get even with our enemies, and ahead of our friends.” But we need to realize that “when we’re green with envy,

we’re ripe for problems.” Whether we admit it or not, most of us want other people to be just a little less successful than we are. Friends are always happy about your success, just as long as you’re not more successful than they are! But one of the first secrets to success is not to compare your life with other’s. It’s strange that many of us seem to know how to live everybody else’s lives but our own. Yet what happens in someone else’s life has nothing to do with ours. “Criticizing someone else’s garden won’t keep the weeds out of your own.”

Successful people look at life through a telescope and see how great it can be, but small, petty people look at life through a microscope and only see the faults and mistakes of others. Being envious and jealous of others is just a slow method of suicide that kills both your health and happiness. You have a special ability and personality that no one else has. So use yours the best way possible. Stop comparing yourself with others. Birds don’t swim. Fish don’t climb trees. And cows don’t fly. Enjoy your own natural abilities and develop your own style. Make

the most of your assets and you’ll make the most of your life. But only your Maker has the key to unlock your full potential inside. So why not ask Him to take charge of your life every day? It’s with His power you can start enjoying the success He’s planned for you to have. Just Think a Minute…

DepEd Strengthened the Project READ By Vanessa Joy D. Mirafuentes

Reading is a complex and multifaceted process and students need an approach to learning that integrates many elements. Multifaceted in the sense that reading is a process of constructing meaning through the dynamic interaction among the reader’s existing knowledge, the information suggested by the written language and the context of the reading situation. For years, the field of reading education has been engaged in thinking about best practices. Explicit instruction in vocabulary, rereading and using digital textbooks to motivate children’s reading are among some of these updated best practices. Those in the reading community are urged to consider best practices, and how we may promote their uses, with high fidelity in classroom instruction. The transition from paper textbooks to digital textbooks is at full throttle. It is unstoppable and will advance at a swift pace into the immediate future. A digital textbook is not the static version of a print book. Rather, as currently defined, it is “an interactive set of learning content and tools accessed via a laptop, tablet or other advanced device” (The Digital Textbook Playbook, 2013, p. 5). A digital textbook is lightweight (literally), Internet connected, and personalized. It enables collaboration and provides instantaneous feedback to student and teacher. It changes how students read. Digital features like animation, hotspots, and audio facilitate comprehension and aid recall of story plots and content information. Using digital textbooks in reading instruction, therefore, is no

longer an if-no-maybe proposition. It is a best practice that can personalize student learning, increase relevant instructional time, and support differentiation to meet students’ specific needs. It provides teachers with opportunities to apply proven practices (the best ones) more often with all students that in turn increase student opportunities to engage in meaningful and appropriate learning experiences. The ability to connect students with the content and activities that meet their individual learning styles and needs, they can personalize learning for more students at any given time and ensure that all students are reaching their full learning potential. That’s revolutionary! Department of Education (DepEd) continuously improves itself to better serve its stakeholders; one of the mission that uphold the department to create functional program to the field and helpful to the learners. One of it, is the Project READ (Ready to Engage on Activities for Developing Reading), thus Division of Malaybalay under the Schools Division Superintendent Edilberto L.

Duterte graces inauguration of Solar Philippines factory President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on Wednesday, August 23, expressed gratitude for the efforts of Solar Philippines in advancing the country’s solar energy industry. In his speech during the inauguration of the Solar Philippines factory at the First Industrial Park in Sto. Tomas, Pampanga, President Duterte noted that the establishment of the state-of-the-art facility is timely and relevant as the country addresses the increasing demand for renewable energy. “Since developing solar energy projects in the Philippines mostly requires imported materials, it is high time that we begin to establish local solar power factories,” the President said. “Aside from helping us achieve energy sufficiency, this is an exciting time for you to start your venture as we are making substantial gains in our social economic reforms,” he said, adding that he looks forward to the realization of the company’s goal to be the largest exporter of solar-batteries next to China. According to the Chief Executive, the solar products and services of Solar Philippines are expected to meet the need of solar panels in the Philippines and other countries to increase supply and at the same time, lower the cost

of solar photovoltaics. He pledged that the government will continue to aid the development of renewable energy in the Philippines. During the inauguration, President Duterte led the ceremonial unveiling of a solar panel embossed with the map of the Philippines. Solar Philippines, led by its President and CEO Leandro Leviste, presented a "Digong Edition" of the solar panel during the event. Among those present at the inauguration were Sena-

tor Loren Legarda, Department of Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, Philippine Economic Zone Authority Director General Charito Plaza, and Solar Philippines Chief Operating Officer Roy Oyco. During his speech, the President also highlighted his campaign promise to get rid of drugs, corruption, and criminality. “I will stick with my campaign promise… I will not condone corruption, drugs, criminality because it destroys the nation,” he

said. At the same time, President Duterte reiterated that he would resign if any member of his family will be proven to be involved in corruption. “I am not defending my son. Prove it, it is true, and I will resign,” he said. “Sabi ko nga, anyone involved in my family, nasa corruption, bababa ako pagka-Presidente. No excuses, no apologies. Pero ‘yun totoo lang,” he said. The President also clarified that he only prom-

ised to protect government troops who are doing their duty. “But what I reminded again the military and the police is that it should be in the performance of duty. That you are not allowed to kill a person who is kneeling down, begging for his life," he said. “I never promised to protect those who are supposedly engaged in doing their duty but committing a crime in the process --abuses. That cannot be done,” he said.###PND

Climate change seen as threat to shrimp production By Antonio L. Colina IV

DAVAO CIT Y (MindaNews/18 August) – Unpredictable weather patterns attributed to climate change threaten shrimp production, a co-owner of the largest homegrown shrimp grower in Davao Region said Friday. Anders Haagen, a coowner of Anderlude Seafoods Corp., said changes in weather patterns weather concern them as these would affect the growing and production of shrimps in their three locations in the region – Dumoy in Davao City, and Sta. Cruz and Hagonoy in Davao del Sur. “ T h e re i s c l i m at e change. If we are only a farmer, then you can’t con-

trol the climate and we have experienced a lot more rain lately, we experienced a lot of things. It makes it more risky and more dangerous to be the farmer alone,” he told reporters during the opening of their processing plant at the state-owned Davao Fish Port Complex in the fishing barangay of Daliao, Toril in Davao City. He said they had invested in this new undertaking, the only one of its kind in the region, to “spread out our risk a little bit” by participating in processing that would add value to the products. “But when you process, your risk profile is much lower. If it rains for two Members of the Public Safety Company of Butuan City police discover these large lauan months, we don’t care.

SURIGAO CITY, Surigao del Norte, (PIA) – First district representative of Surigao del Norte Cong. Francisco Jose ‘Bingo’ Matugas II recently formulated a Comprehensive Tourism Master Plan for Siargao Island pursuant to Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Administrative Order No. 2013-09, otherwise known as the Guidelines on Eco-Tourism Planning and Management in Protected Areas. In the past five years, under the administration of Surigao del Norte Governor Sol Matugas, tourist arrivals averaged at a growth of 31.92 percent, with a total of 179,960 tourist arrivals last year. Tourism has experienced unprecedented boost over the years since surfing and game fishing, originally conceptualized by then Gov. Francisco ‘Lalo’ Matugas, were calendared as regular annual international events resulting to a surge of foreign and local investments. More than being a tourist’s paradise, the island is also characterized by its rich natural diversity. On the basis of Republic Act No. 7586, otherwise known as the National Integrated Protected Area System Act, Siargao Island Protected Landscape and Seascape (SIPLAS) was established. The Department of Tourism recognizes Siargao as both a major tourism jewel and a crucial biodiversity site. In order to expedite the economic development of Siargao, the plan preparation was structured to cover preparatory activities on the way to becoming a Tourism Enterprise Zone (TEZ), participatory governance with proactive involvement of local host communities and partner stakeholders, as well as technology transfer and tourism data banking for implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The scope of work involves research, coordination and consultation, market and product See frames, page 11

Last June, the Presidential Security Group (PSG) assigned at the residence of President Rodrigo Duterte apprehended two persons and were also briefly held at the Investigation Division of the DCPO for flying drones over the residence of the President at Dona Luisa Subdivision. Gaspan said the PSG, however, decided not to file a case against them for humanitarian consideration. She said the two were just playing and they were not aware of the regulation. Instead of paying a fine of P500,000, Gaspan said the family donated the drone to the DCPO. The drone donated to DCPO has become a useful tool for its operation such as during the Kadayawan Festival. Gaspan said that stores selling drones should also inform their buyers about the procedures and regulations before owning one. “This is also one reason why we have to raise awareness about flying drones,” Gaspan said in an interview Thursday.

Happiness within that this world could not give The Gospel of Jesus Christ (August26, 2017-Saturday) Mark 8:110”In those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples and said to them, “I feel compassion for the people because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat. “If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and

some of them have come from a great distance.” And His disciples answered Him, “Where will anyone be able to find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?” And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.” And He directed the people to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving

them to His disciples to serve to them, and they served them to the people. They also had a few small fish; and after He had blessed them. He ordered these to be served as well. And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces. About four thousand were there; and He sent them away. And immediately

He entered the boat with His disciples and came to the district of Dalmanutha. These people stayed with Jesus day and night for three days, no doubt enjoying his messages as well as expecting to see miracles. The people who followed Jesus were out of supply for their survival. Jesus saw their situation in life and their personal needs. This is Jesus whom I preach every now and then who

Biblical reflection can see our necessities in life. He has never changed. Hebrews 3:8”Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. The only move you can do is to come to him no matter what. The people refused to go home although they knew their insufficiency materially because of their happiness within that this world could not give. This is true, only in God we can find genuine happiness.

DSWD moves 4Ps pay-out anew CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) decided to postpone indefinitely the pay outs of 21 municipalities throughout Region 10 due to the current technical glitches between DSWD and Land Bank of the Philippines IT Systems. In his letter to DSWD Field Office 10, Edgardo Micayabas, chief executive office of FICCO (First Community Cooperative) disclosed that it cannot proceed with the pay-out because his IT Team together with LBP is still on the process of configuring the IP Sec registration, one of the requirements of LBP’s

Regional Bids and Awards Committee for them to issue notice to proceed, purchase order, and funding for FICCO.

In a current set up, Densing said there is an easier access of basic services of the people where the LGU will no longer go to imperial Manila to ask for funding programs. “In federalism, it ensures more equal distribution of resources to provinces,” he added. “We are having this informed sessions to prepare our people for the coming plebiscite, to help them decide if they agree or not to the proposed system,” Densing said. Professor Edmund S. Tayao, executive director of the Local Government Development Foundation (LODOGEF) said the shift of unitary form of government to federalism is a welcome development saying that President Duterte has been vigorously pursuing it as the centerpiece of his campaign. Tayao said the advocacy campaign is very important so that the people can substantially contribute to the discussion. Meanwhile, Regional Director Paizal Abutazil underscored the importance of the role of media in the agency’s advocacies of federalism saying that the media is the most powerful tool in disseminating information. “I encourage the media

PAGADIAN CITY -- The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) is stepping up its awareness drive on federalism and bringing down the campaign to villages in Zamboanga Peninsula. The first federalism forum with city and municipal local government operations officers was recently held at Guillermo Hotel here recently. DILG has directed its provincial, city and municipal offices to carry out a massive information drive. Epimaco Densing III, asst. secretary for Plans and Programs said the main purpose of the awareness drive is to educate, inform, and make the people understand the concept of federalism. Densing said President Rodrigo Duterte in his State of the Nation Address (SONA) mentioned that he wanted the Philippines to shift from unitary to federal form of government, primarily to address the issue of Bangsamoro rebellion in Mindanao so that they can govern themselves as a federal government. “The federal form of government unlike the present system, brings the government much closer to the people,” Densing explained.

From 2021 onwards, the company will pour in an additional P12 billion for Cove development, additional towers and retail construction. The project is expected to generate some 13,000 jobs -- a total of 5,880 during the construction phase and 7,120 when fully operational. Azuela Cove’s Masterplan includes The Shops at Azuela Cove, a retail play with a total gross leasable area (GLA) of 4,000 sqm, which will be home to local food favorites as well as classic national and international dining establishments. At 1,700 sqm GLA, The Shops first phase offering will be launched in the last quarter of 2017. Another initial locator is Ayala Land Premier (ALP), which will spearhead the development of its first condominium towers in the district, all providing a pristine view of Samal Island and the Davao Gulf. “We continue to build mixed-use estates around the country not only because

of the country’s economic growth, but also because of the continued trust and confidence of Ayala Land’s customers,” Bisnar said. “Our focus on sustainability and our genuine partnership with communities, local governments, and other stakeholders sets us apart and helps us fulfill our mission.” PNA

police officer said. The PDEA-12, led by regional director Gil Castro, conducted search operations in at least 10 houses in two separate areas in the municipality of Kabacan for 20 suspected drug personalities included in their watch list. Hours later, they proceeded to Kidapawan City to conduct a buy-bust operation. Around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, the PDEA-12 started the search on members of the Simbualan Drug Group (SDG) in two separate areas in Poblacion, Kabacan. Police records showed that of the more than 10 persons included in the 20 search warrants issued by Judge Alandrex Betoya of the Regional Trial Court Branch 16, only three were apprehended by the police. Castro identified the suspects as Jojo Alon, 42; Allan Alon, 41; and Sukarno Bedik Ali alias Bong Ali, 40. All are residents of Poblacion, Kabacan. Two of their leaders identified as Elmer Ones alias Taming, 43, of Mantawil Street; and Joeboy Kansi Manuel, of Zamora Street, escaped from the dragnet, reports added. Castro said they recovered from the suspects at least 5 grams of shabu with an estimated street value of P22,500. In Kidapawan City, the PDEA operatives apprehended another member of the syndicate identified as John Ryan Cua Alvarez, 29, of Barangay Sudapin, this city, in a buy-bust operation around 2 p.m. also on Wednesday. Castro said they placed Alvarez under tight monitoring and surveillance since July, getting tips from the suspect’s neighbors. Alvarez is the fourth member of the notorious SDG whose operations include North Cotabato and nearby provinces in Sultan Kudarat and Maguindanao. The group is based in Kidapawan City, which, according to Castro, is not only involved in drug trafficking but also in motorcycle theft, carnapping, and gunrunning. “The Simbualan Drug Group was created after several drug syndicates were busted by our group and other PNP units since 2016,” he said.

What we do is we drop them in the pond, and they eat the sludge, so the good bacteria when they eat the sludge, they clean the pond. But because [the] nature of bacteria [is] if they populate the sludge, then no other bacteria can move in,” he said. He said “when these good bacteria have populated, there is no risk of invasion by bad bacteria” and it becomes good bio-protection from pests and diseases. “These bacteria when they multiply, they float up and get eaten by the shrimp,” he said. He said any good bacteria can be used because it’s not pathogenic and will not harm humans. Haagen also bared plans to expand to Rizal town in Palawan, a move that will increase by two-fold their shrimp production. He said a sister company there operates a coconut plantation, and the throwaway coconut husks can be a great source of electricity to operate the “paddle wheels that aerate the shrimp ponds.” “So in order to have a sustainable coconut business, we can take all the wastes from our coconut business, use it to generate electricity and the electricity runs a shrimp farm. No waste, no pollution,” he said. (Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews)

the ramp. But the camera kept rolling. Within 7 seconds, the camera clearly picked up the command “Pusila, Pusila”. A couple of seconds later, one shot rang out, immediately followed by a staccato of gunfire. The next scene showed Ninoy sprawled on the tarmac, blood oozing from his lifeless body. The body of the alleged gunman also lay on the tarmac. Because of the timing of the first shot, investigators later established that Ninoy was still descending from the plane ramp when he was shot at the back of his head. No way could Rolando Galman, the alleged gunman, have penetrated a supposedly tight security cordon and assassinated Ninoy. The video clip soon became “viral”. Of course, at that time, there was no internet. But copies of the video clips were manually reproduced on Betamax tapes and clandestinely circulated in private homes and later, in offices. I believe that these video clips played a vital role in conscientizing Filipinos, who until then had grown numb of the excesses of martial law. The silent protests in the homes and offices soon spilled into the streets. It took another three years to end two decades of Marcos rule but the protests in 1983 -sparked by the murder of Ninoy on the tarmac – marked the beginning of the end.

All-New Honda CR-V receives 5-Star ASEAN NCAP Safety Rating

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), Honda’s automobile business unit in the Philippines, is proud to announce that the recently launched All-New CR-V (August 8, 2017) has been awarded a 5-star safety rating by the ASEAN New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asia (NCAP). The All-New CR-V is the first model of Honda to be awarded by a 5-star safety rating under the new ASEAN NCAP Assessment 2017-2020 Protocol. The new assessment protocol urges carmakers to give the best safety practices in the region and has been in effect since January 1, 2017. The remarkable results show Honda’s commitment in ensuring safety for everyone sharing the road. The All-New CR-V achieved 5-star safety rating from an outstanding overall score of 88.8 out of 100. The new ASEAN NCAP Assessment includes a frontal offset impact test, side impact test,

and evaluation of safety features such as the Honda SENSING. The All-New CR-V also received impressive scores for Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), Child Occupant Protection (COP) and Safety Assist. The All-New CR-V SX Diesel 9AT AWD comes with Honda’s advanced driving assist system called Honda SENSING. The advanced technological feature consists of a millimeterwave radar and monocular camera mounted on the upper, inside part of the windshield which provides greater awareness of driving conditions around the vehicle. It also provides warnings to the driver and supports the driver in avoiding or mitigating the severity of a collision. The SX Diesel 9AT AWD, S Diesel 9AT, and 2.0 S CVT variants are also equipped with Honda LaneWatch, a unique system that displays an additional 80 degree view of the right side of the vehicle from the side mirror view using a camera built into the passenger-side
