2015: Year of the sheep
According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2015 is the Year of the Sheep, which begins on February 19, 2015, and ends on February 7, 2016, an online shop reported. The Sheep is the Eighth Sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 Animal Signs, said a report published on the website of springsgreetingcards.com. It is lucky that the Sheep is ranked eighth in the cycle of Chinese Zodiac Animals, because the number “eight” in Chinese is an auspicious one, symbolizing peace and prosperity, it said. In Chinese, there is a popular proverb: “Three sheep bring harmony and prosperity.” The Goats and Sheep are the two major categories of the Sheep family.

ComVal officials seek Duterte’s Duterte help for release of Jail Warden agrees with Joma
D
By Lilian C. Mellejor
AVAO CITY – Officials from Compostela Valley Province have sought the help of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte for the release of the Compostela Valley Provincial Rehabilitation Center jail warden taken by the New People’s Army (NPA) as its prisoner of war on the night of December 23 from his carwash establishment located near his residence in Barangay Sto. Niño, Panabo City, Davao del Norte
During his Sunday program, Duterte said officials from Comval called him on the matter but he did not commit anything as he is waiting information on the motive of the abduction of jail warden Jose Mervin Coquilla. Duterte, who just facilitated the release of two soldiers from the New People’s Army (NPA) on December 22 in Montevista, Compostela Valley, did not reveal the names of the officials. There was also information that the family of Coquilla wanted the mayor to help facilitate the release of the jail officer. Duterte is the Regional Peace and Order
Council chairperson. According to Duterte, he had information on the planned abduction, thereby forewarned the Philippine Army officials to watch out. He however said he did not expect it was a jail officer. On Friday, Ka Aris Francisco, spokesperson of the NPA’s Comval-North Davao South Agusan Subregional Command, said Coquilla was taken into custody by the NPA in order to subject him to an investigation to determine his individual culpability with respect to the complaints lodged against him that include his willful

negligence in the supervision of inmates and his direct and indirect, overt and covert participation of drug trade and drug use inside the Comval jail. According to Francisco, Coquilla was also accused of siphoning funds, thus such alleged corruption resulting to inadequate medical and health care and food provision for inmates. If proven that Coquilla was indeed involved in direct and indirect participation of drug trade inside the Comval jail, Duterte might have second thoughts in helping Coquilla’s release. It may be recalled that Duterte was hesitant to help in the
release of a police officer sometime this year when he was informed that one sachet of “shabu” was found inside his pocket when abducted by the NPA. Information showed that Coquilla’s vehicle used by the rebels to escape was found abandoned in Purok 2, Barangay Fatima, Paquibato District, this city. Police Sr. Supt. Samuel Gadingan, the Police Provincial Director of Davao del Norte, said they have already established and formed the Special Investigation Task Group that will handle the incident, while the Crisis Management Committee of Panabo City was already convened. (PNA)
Davao City – Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte declared he favors the communist programs. This was revealed when the mayor reacted to the facebook posts of Communist Party of the Philippines founding chairman, Jose Maria Sison who said that “Mayor Duterte should become president if he is willing to have a democratic coalition government with the revolutionary forces and other patriotic and progressive forces of our people.” Sison’s facebook comment on Davao Today article Monday said “(W)e can have a common program of action: real national independence and territorial integrity, democratic empowerment of the working people, economic development through national industrialization and genuine land reform, social justice, a patriotic and progressive culture and international solidarity with other peoples for peace and development. What the revolutionary forces want is what the people demand.” “Kanang ginagukod ni Sison, ginagukod pud nako na. We have a common program for action: real and national independence and territorial integrity, democratic empowerment of the working people –gusto pud nako na. economic development through national industrialization – gusto ko na. And genuine land reform, social justice, patriotic and progressive culture, and international solidarity,” said Duterte during his Sunday program, Gikan sa Masa Para sa Masa. (What Sison is after, I am after that also. We have a common program for action: real and national independence and territorial integrity, democratic empowerment of the working people –I want that also. Economic development through national industrialization, I want that too.) But Duterte said his pronouncements on establishing a coalition government with the communists also goes out to the Muslim insurgents. “Everywhere, not only for the NPAs, but for the MI(LF) and MN(LF). Nga we’ll come to an agreement with finality. Fictional man na actually, ug ako lay ma-presidente.
Ug ako lay pabut-on (That is fictional actually. Only if I’ll be president, only if I am to decide),” he said. Duterte has previously hosted the Mindanao Leaders Summit on Federalism last December 1. Dubbed “Mindanawons Forging Unity Toward a Federal System of Government” the summit pushed for federalism as alternative to the present form of government. Duterte clarified that if he becomes the president, he will retain control of the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Duterte will likewise “eradicate all forms of paramilitary.” “But the positions such as DENR, DAR-Department of Agrarian Reform mao gyuy gusto sa komunista.If they want a clean slate sa land reform, aside from ihatag nimo suportahan nimog seedlings, suportahan nimog makinarya and these are really…mao nang magcomplete—unya nay ubang dagko diha nga kinahanglang i-distribute pa. To which I agree (But the positions such as DENR, DAR-Department of Agrarian Reform that’s what the communists really want. If they want a clean slate sa land reform, aside from providing seedlings you will also provide machineries so it will be complete. And there are still large parcels of lands that still need to be distributed),” Duterte said. Duterte added that during the time of former President Corazon Aquino’s implementation of the land reform program, a lot of farmerbeneficiaries have sold their lands back to the owners. “Kay ihatag nimong lote wa man puy suporta, wa man puy farm implements that is the reason most of the awardees katong nahatag nga yuta ginabaligya pud nilag balik ngadto sa mga tag-iya. And that’s what really happened (Because when you give out lands without giving support or farm implements, that’s the reason why most of the awardees sold their lands back to the owners),” he said. Duterte also supported the CPP’s program for national independence condemning the government’s subservience to foreign dictates. “Nganong sunod-sunod man ta sa Amerikano? We should be able to chart our own course dinhi sa atong nasud. Paghuman sa Amerikanog recognition, recognize pud ta. Wala man pud mahitabo kung magsige tag sunod-sunod sa Amerikano (Why do we follow the Americans? We should be able to chart our own course. Nothing will happen if we keep on following the Americans),” said Duterte.

Misamis Oriental is now in the ‘State of Calamity’ THE provincia l b o ard members in Misamis Oriental on Monday passed a resolution declaring the province under the “State of Calamity.” Provincial b o ard m e mb e r Nan c y Madjos was the proponent of the resolution. Un d e r t h e St at e of Calamity, the provincial government could immediately initiate measures to repair and remedy the damage incurred because of disastrous events. Tropical depression Seniang, which brought in heavy rainfall yesterday damaged major bridges in the province Oriental such as the “Mambuaya Bridge” in Misamis Oriental. The Mambuaya bridge is a major bridge that links Cagayan De Oro City and Butuan City. Any damaged to the bridge would certainly affect the movement of goods of Misamis Oriental and the provinces in the Caraga Region and vice versa. Other minor bridges, particularly the bridge in Santa Ana in the municipal town of Tagoloan, reportedly snapped ma k ing it imp ass able.
The CYNOSURE

Hundreds also evacuated as the Tagolo-an River overflowed. There are reports that the town of Tagolo-an was badly hit by the heavy rain with f lood waters overflowing the concrete flood dike in Tagolo-an. While Tagolo-an was experiencing one of the worst f loods in recent years, the situation in the coastal town of Jasaan is miserable. Flood waters also overflowed the Bobontogan bridge in Jasaan. With an unimaginable flood, one could not imagine the destruction to houses near the river banks of Bobontogan. In Claveria, the land-
locked town in Misamis Oriental, a bridge there became impassable too. This means, that all passages leading to Cagayan De Oro City from Butuan City have been totally cut off. The declaration of the State of Calamity in Misamis Oriental is timely. The provincial government can exercise extra authority to implement rehabilitative measures to repair roads and bridges damaged by Seniang. The resolution would make it easier for Provincial Gov. Bambi Emano to mobilize the resources of the provincial government to rehabilitate the damaged incurred by Seniang. We could simply commend the men and women at the provincial capitol for their readiness in addressing the people’s concern in times of calamities. Certainly, Emano was right in getting Edmundo Pacamalan, Jr. as head of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council on top of being the provincial administrator. Pacamalan has demon-
strated his capability to efficiently handle problems that confront the provincial government in times of disasters. Pacamalan has lightened the load of the provincial governor in addressing pressing concerns that most public officials usually pass the buck to the subordinate. To Jun Pacamalan, may your tribe increase! Offbeat, let me also congratulate the Third Party Facilitators headed by Bishop Felixberto Calang of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente (IFI) and other stakeholders like Bebs Musni of the Gabriela and the International Human Rights, and the Philippine Red Cross for facilitating the successful release of Pfc. Marnel Cinches and Pfc. Jerrel Yorong, of the army’s 8th Infantr y Battalion, who were held captive by the New People’s Army (NPA) on July 22, 2014. By the way, I have forgotten something: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! react: crisguardian@ yahoo.com
Music, Christmas and God
ARE all terms in the right order? In logical sequence? For some of you, my dear readers, they must passed out by a dozen. Honestly, writing about political topics is really tiring me. Especially now and today. While writing this piece, I am getting tons of political news.Yes, I am very well understanding everything. But why do I choose “Music, Christmas and God”? Again, the right (or wrong?) order doesn’t matter. Really! Christmas is just around the corner. I become very thoughtful and melancholy during season. That’s okay. Maybe also you. I try do delete topics such as war, corruption, killing, natural disasters etc,. I even try to delete them here in my opinion. I try to look forward to Christmas with a happy

heart. Christmas is just around the corner. God is with me daily. He is my companion during every second of my life. And, what has this to do with music? Music is the second life companion of mine since many years. I remember the day my parents first lugged the heavy accor-
dion up our front stoop, taxing the small frame. They gathered me in the living room and opened the case as if it were a treasure chest. And guys, it really was. And, it was s e v e r a l d ay s B E F O R E Christmas. “Here it is,” my parents said. “Once you learn to play it, it will be with you for life!” Thanks God, it is. Believe it - up to now. Here in my house in Davao City. Anyway, back to the past: if my t hin smile didn’t match my parents’ full-pledge grin, it was because I prayed for a piano! It was at the end of the 1950’’s, and I was g lue d to my AM- and Short Wave Radio Stations, playing classical music 24/7. Accordions were nowhere in my hit parade - even later during
the 1960’s and 1970’’s... Sometime on a Sunday, one of my favorite days till now, I started taping radio shows with classical music. It seemed that I hang on every note. I joined the college band. But I admired classical composers such as Beethoven and Mozart, just to mention two. I never became perfect in my piano play to coax sweet sounds. I also admire people, who can do so. But I developed a passion of music. Music, God - and, yes: Merry Christmas to all of you - also from this corner. +++ Email: doringklaus@ gmail.com or visit www. germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot.com or www.klausdoringsclassicalmusic.blogspot.com or follow me in Facebook or Twitter.

erant, and easily touched by other people’s misfortunes. They are meek and somewhat timid, pessimistic by nature. They expect their friends to be available when they need emotional support. According to the tradition, during the Year of the Sheep, you should focus on home and family, and be helpful to parents and the elderly. If family disputes arise, be a good listener, but, don’t take side or try to place blame. People born in the Year of the Sheep share certain characteristics: Smart, artistic, kind, happy, reserved, insecure and dependent. Sheep people simply want a bit of peace. They enjoy carrying on with life in their own quiet, individual way, and are content

It is impossible to force them to do something. When challenged in an argument, they will remain silently anger rather than repeat their opinions or show their displeasure. Pure and kind as they are, Sheep people are always ready to help others who are in need of care or money. They are nurturers and enjoy taking care of other people. Their personalities are quiet, reserved and soothing. They like to be in the company of others, standing in the back, and watching contently from the sidelines, as others dazzle the company. Sheep people will generally do better than they are aware because they are good at keeping the peace and accomplishing the tasks at hand. source:springsgreetingcards.com

Nine families trapped inside 'Sama - samang ang Layuning their homes by rising floodwaters Isulong Pangkabuhayan SLP Congress 2014:
P
By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN Regional Editor Caraga
ROSPERIDAD, Agusan del Sur- Eight families some of them clinging for their lives on coconut trees were trapped inside their homes by strong floodwater current in the two sub-villages of this town as Typhoon Seniang lashed in the entire province.
In neighboring Bayugan City, a family with four small children was also stuck in their house after the floodwaters suddenly rose but rescuers have a hard time to save them because of the strong current of floodwaters. Vice Gov. Santiago Cane Jr. was super vising the
rescue operations but at press time there was no report yet if ever the rescue team from Search and Rescue Agusan del Sur (SARAS) managed to get the victims to safety. The floodwaters also suddenly rise in Poblacion Prosperidad at around 2:00 pm after the irriga-
tion system in Gibong river has overflowed that residents have to scamper for safety on their rooftops. Gov. Adolph Edward Plaza has raised Alert Level No. 2 after the entire province started to experience heavy rains and strong storms winds yesterday morning. He advised all Disaster Risk Reduction Councils down to the barangay level to activate their respective operations centers and advised rescue and relief teams on a 24-hour standby. Roberto Natividad, SARAS team leader and Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Officer, said it would no longer be pos-
sible for his men to rescue the trapped families in the remote village of San Salvador because of the rampaging floodwaters that met in the overflowing crossing of the two rivers. “They need to be rescued by helicopter,” Natividad said. Roads along the national highway in Bayugan City, Sibagat and Bunawan were impassable at the height of the storm in the morning but were restored when the heavy rains started to subside in the afternoon. The PDRRMC reported that around 500 families were evacuated to evacuation centers in the five towns of the province.
Firecracker injuries now at 130 -- DOH By Leilani S. Junio
CARAGA - The Department of Health (DOH) said Sunday that a total 1 3 0 f i re w or k s - re l at e d injuries (FRWI) was recorded as of 6:00 in the morning of December 28 or increased by 17 as of Saturday. The said 130 FWRI cases was 31 percent lower in the same period last year (2013) where a total of 233 cases was recorded. The top numb er of cases was noted in the National Capital Region (NCR) wherein a total of 49 cases took place, followed by Region 10 with 12 cases.
Regions 6, 7 and 11 recorded a total of 9 injuries each; Region 2 with 8 cases; Regions 3, 4A, and 5 with 7 cases each, Regions 1 and 8 with 6 cases each while only one was recorded in Region CAR. To date, there are still no re c ord e d F W R I i n Regions 4B, 9, 12, ARMM and CARAGA. The 129 cases were due to fireworks injuries while only one case of fireworks ingestion was recorded involving a five-year old boy from San Mateo, Rizal who swallowed the “luces” firecrackers when he mistook it as candy because of attractive packaging.
MDN: June 16-Dec.15, 2014
About 6 cases required amputations while 25 cases sustained eye injuries when the firecrackers hit portions within their eyes. One hundred thirteen 113 victims were males with ages ranging from 3 to 68 years old. About 47 cases were children 10 years old below. The banned and illegal small firecracker “piccolo” is sti ll t he top c ulpr it for all cases as the said firecracker was said to have caused a total of 86 injuries among the users. Twenty-two cases of f ire cracker injur ies in NCR took place in the city of Manila, followed by Pasig City with 8 cases, Las Pinas, Mandaluyong and Pasay City with 3 cases each. Still, there is no official recorded stray bullet incidents so far. The DOH reiterates its reminder to the public to remind the children that f irecrackers should b e avoided and never consider it as a kind of toy
or instrument for fun and merry-making in celebration of the season and in the coming new-year revelry. The D OH ke eps on saying on its campaign that there are other alternatives ways of creating nois e to make the welcoming of new year enjoyable other than using firecrackers. DOH director Cirilo Galindez of HEMS (Health Emergency Managements) Bureau said that firecrackers can b e deadly and destructive to the future of children as using firecrackers is like gambling to a sad fate where chances of losing hands or becoming blind and disabled instead of staying active and productive will likely to occur. “It is also destructive to the environment as firecrackers emits by firecrackers are destructive also to the environment,” Director Galindez added. Galindez added that it will be wiser move that instead of buying firecrackers the public will just place their money over buying their basic necessities and other foods that their family can happily eat together.

para sa Pagbabago'
BUTUAN CITY – The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office through the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) celebrated recently its grand year – end activity dubbed as the 3rd Annual Congress 2014 (Sama-samang isulong and Layuning Pangkabuhayan para sa Pagbabago) at the Robinson’s Place here. The 3rd Annual Congress is designed to showcase the products and services engaged by the program participants from the different provinces in the region and link them to the market with sustainable demand. It also underscored the sharing of best practices and stories from all successful social – entrepreneurs like Lilibeth Polinar of Marihatag, Surigao del Sur who was awarded as the Best Individual micro – enterprise all over the Philippines and also the Water Lily SKA Association of the municipality of San Luis, Agusan del Sur best group enterprise during the recently concluded “Bangon Kabuhayan” awarding ceremony held in Manila last month. To recognize the efforts and support of DSWD partners, the Local Government Units (LGUs), National Government Agencies (NGAs), and other partners received the plaque of recognition. LGUs of Gigaguit, SdN; Las Nieves AdN; Lingig SdS; Loreto AdS; and Cagdianao, PDI received plaques of appreciation for being adjudged as supportive LGUs in the implementation of SLP over the years. Also, the partner from national line agencies and academe received recognition for supporting the cause of the SLP in poverty reduction. SLP Director Georgina
Ann H. Hernandez from the National Project Management Office (NPMO) served as the keynote speaker of the said event. Director Hernadez congratulated the region for coming – up with a grand activity which is another milestone marked by the department. “Lingid po sa ating lahat na ang SLP Caraga po ang masasabi kong pinakamagaling sa lahat ng rehiyon. Palagi po silang nangunguna sa karamihan,” Director Hernandez shared. Regional Director Minda B. Brigoli in her message said that the Congress in its 3rd year of implementation is a retrospect of the SLP achievements, glorifying the present blessing and preparing for next challenges on the pursuit of uplifting the socio – economic status of poor families and communities in the region. She also added that DSWD’s passion is to engage all program participants into resource – based, market – driven, and socially acceptable microenterprise and employment opportunities the through purposive and collaborative efforts from the government and the beneficiaries. The grand feast culminated with a fashion show of the different products from the selected SLP staff and Caraga models. SLP has evolved over the years from mere capital assistance of SEA – Kaunlaran to comprehensive capacity building program of the participants. Program participants are not only provided with financial capital for their micro enterprise but as well as linking them to resource – based and market – driven opportunities by way of them to institutional markets.

Governance in Alternative Learning System (ALS): The Other Side of Basic Education By EDITH B. LAGO-ORTEGA, Ph.D. EPS I-ALS DepEd-Division of Cagayan de Oro City
Unlike the Formal School System which caters regular students, ALS serves the Out-of-School Youths and Adults who have lost hope in achieving education for various reasons such as lack of opportunity for reasons of poverty and institutional neglect. Negotiating learners and at the same time motivating them to avail of the opportunity either thru Non Formal Education or In Formal Education requires skills and management style which is to a certain extent unique from formal schooling fundamentally because most of them are already earning a living though more often than not insufficient
for everyday life. It is for this reason that the management have adopted the democratic system of governance buttressed on the principles of participation, empowerment, transparency, and accountability. Participation because conceptualization of the framework adopted by the system is framed based on the needs of the community through rapid appraisal system wherein every sector of the society is allowed to participate on the decision making process such as the GOs, NGOs, LGUs, POs, basic sectors, learners and even IPs. ALS operates in the concept of empowerment basically because it is not the management that has all the power to decide specially on matters involving process conceptualization and innovation but voices of the community and partners are heard and eventually considered thereby giving them the opportunity to feel ownership of the system. In this scheme, they will be the ones who will protect the interest of the program that would lead to its success.
Transparency is a key to which every facet of implementers as well as the constituents can gain full trust of the program which is essential for the development of the Alternative Learning System and sustaining them overtime. Trust according to social, economic and political experts is the driving force that coagulates individuals to do certain task together and develops their ability to work together in achieving a common cause such as education for all which is also the battle cry of the program. The governance in ALS believes in the maxim “we should be accountable in the decision we will make in the name of the Filipino people”. As such the management of ALS does not make elite decisions which are considered to be orthodox in the contemporary setting... autocracy. Decisions in ALS is always in the form of democracy wherein everyone can have a fair share of success and failures because it is only in this principle that the nation may grow… that is growing together.

Camella’s village center complements the growing communities inside Gran Europa which numbers to about 3,000 households. This is the center of fellowship, fun and enjoyment in Gran Europa and is open even to non-residents. San Vicente Ferrer Church holds worship services and provides a venue for religious ceremonies and gatherings in Gran Europa. The Vista commercial area under Vista Malls also opened Wellcome Supermarket ( Rustan’s group) as its anchor establishment. Gran Europa homeowners and residents of adjacent communities enjoy the convenience of shopping at Wellcome Supermarket which offers a lot of choices for home goods at affordable prices. Vista Malls is also completing the other buildings to house a famous culinary school, retail shops, coffee shop, bakeshop, restaurants , drugstore, salon, spa, among others. Within the village center is Georgia Academy which now offers pre-school to grade school courses. Several activities have already been hosted in the
village center like fun run, family day, talent shows, concerts, dog show, night bazaar, car show and many others. Expect more events and activities to happen especially this Christmas season. “Our dream of making Gran Europa a destination place in Cagayan de Oro and even throughout Northern Mindanao is now coming into realization.

Ayano said RA 7394 also mandates DTI to protect the consumers against fraudulent sales promotions, other than those under the jurisdiction of the Department of Health (DOH). Full, fair, clear disclosure of service offered tops Air Passenger Bill of Rights The right to full, fair and clear disclosure of all terms and conditions of carriage about to be purchased has topped the “Air Passenger Bill of Rights.” Enumerated under the Joint Administrative Order (JAO) No. 1, s. of 2012, of the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DOTC-DTI JAO No. 1), these rights should be known by all air passengers, Delia M. Ayano, provincial director of DTI Misamis Occidental, said. Ayano said air passengers have also the Right to Clear and Non-Misleading Advertisements of, and Important Reminders Regarding Fares, especially, on major restrictions, such as those on rebookability or refundability, and the consequences of purchasing such tickets and the effect of its non-use.

CebuPacific refund not enough, CAB should also be investigated
BAYAN Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares on Monday said that the offer of CebuPacific for refunds is not enough and that they should be sanctioned for their continued dismal service. “Kulang ang refund na ito at paraan lang para patahimikin ang mga nagrereklamong pasahero. Ang dapat ay patawan ng parusa ang mga airlines na pumalpak,” said Colmenares. The progressive solon in a December 16 privilege speech in Congress decried airline companies for excessive fares, delays and dismal service. He then called for an investigation of the airline companies as well as the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) for failing to protect

airline passengers. “CAB should not be allowed to escape accountability since dismal service has been going on for a long
time,” he added. “I wished that Congress then already called for a probe but that did not happen, so I will file a resolution
when Congress opens on Jan. 5 for the probe to immediately take place. While it is good that the CAB will already start their investigation to get to some of the details of the continued inconvenience of airline passengers, I think that the CAB should also be probed for not doing its duty to regulate these airlines and protect airline passengers,” said Colmenares, a senior deputy minority leader in the House of the Representatives. “Aside from the long queues, delayed flights and overbooking the resolution will probe 1.) Cancelled flights; 2.) Expensive rebooking fees and penalties but when it is the airlines who cancel or change sched-
ules there are no penalties that refund the passengers; 3.) Another problem particularly for Cebu Pacific passengers is that they offer a deceptively low initial base fare but in the end the fare shoots up due big tax and surcharges that are even higher than that of Philippine Airlines (PAL). They also charge passengers with a web administration fee that is ridiculous,” added the progressive solon. “Also airlines in many instances do not use the passenger tube even if the passengers have paid for its use making it difficult for the elderly and the sick as they have to go down the tarmac,” he said. “There has also been a substantial decrease in
fuel prices leading to lower fares in jeepneys and other public transport but the airline rates have not gone down. A decrease in airline rates will not only result in a temporary relief for airline passengers but could also ease the rising prices of some commodities transported through these airline companies,” said the lawmaker. “It would be better if the Committee on Transportation would just call for a motu propio hearing to probe these issues during the break but if not then I hope that it would immediately be scheduled on the resumption of sessions so that these airlines would improve their services,” ended Colmenares. sources: mindanews.com
