BY CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

CAGAYAN de Oro City-The science university’s flag flew at half-mast here Monday while the faculty members and students wore black T-shirt in an expression of grief over the killing of Dr. Ricardo E. Rotoras

early Saturday morning.

and to demand the early solution of the Rotoras murder.

An enrage city residents also called for the immediate resolution and identification of the mastermind in the shooting to death of one of the country’s highly respected educators.

ALL NATIONS NETWORK 23rd FIRE SUMMIT 2017 Yesterday was the arrival of the selected heads of churches and organizations from different regions of the Philippines here at Cagayan de Oro City.

Today is the 23rd National Church Planters Fire Summit of All Nations Network held at Country Village Hotel Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City. This event is participated in by Apostles, Bishops, Doctors, Missionaries, Reverends, Founders, Pastors, Evangelists, Teachers and Church Planters from all over the Philippines.

“This summit is unique because we gather leaders from different denominations to have discussions on how we can help our beloved nation by teaching

moral values based in the Holy Bible of God. By this we can help our President in his war against illegal drugs, corruption and criminality,” according to Rev. Verlie Benitez, the Chairman of the summit from Kairos Harvest House Church of Pagadian City.

“The concern of the summit is not only for our network but also we look forward in partnership with

other religious organizations in the country. We believe in one God and one bible therefore we can love, accept each other and together share the love of Jesus to the needy. I can see that the spiritual problem is the root cause of the decaying moral values of the nation today,” says Bishop Bing Gadian, the Chairman of the network.

this summit are the following: Apostle Chan Meng from Singapore, Dr. Fritz Boy Cobrado, the founder and president of Love Asia Missions Partner Foundation Intl(LAMP)Cagayan de Oro, Dr. Jill Boyonas, the founder and president of Church Multiplication C o a lit ion(CMC) f rom Cebu City, Apostle Bishop Benz Lumasag, the founder and president of Alliance of Interactive Ministers Philippines(AIMPHIL) from Davao City, Dr. Bishop Gene Udang, the founder and president of Blessed Hope Christian Community Church Intl Cagayan de Oro, Dr. Bishop Stephen Villaester, Anglican minister and Senior Minister of See Summit, page 11

SAN Francisco, Agusan del Sur— Tension gripped the palm oil lands in Rosario town already up for final distribution as land reform areas on Dec. 6 after the killing of an agrarian reform beneficiary (ARB) of a splinter group which has camped out in their claimed area since Nov. 11.

The killing of Rolando Moreno Sr. on Nov. 28 was believed to have stemmed from animosities between three groups of ARBs who are awaiting installation of their lands as part of the close to 4,000 hectares of palm oil plantation areas of multinational NDC-Guthrie Plantation Inc. (NGPI) which was converted into land reform areas in 1998.

Police report said Moreno who confronted a group of ARB members from the rival group led by Nestor Alcular was shot to death at gunpoint. A recorded mobile phone video on the incident will be used by the Municipal Police Office of Rosario town in the filing of formal charges against the perpetrators.

Alcular’s faction, which is the original group of NGPI ARB Multi-Purpose Cooperative, protested the final resolution of the Provincial Office of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) of which the writ

of reinstallation on the distributed land reform lands will be released this week.

Occupied Ahead of the turn-over event, the victim’s group led by Emmanuel Sustino has already occupied their designated areas to start developing the farm and apparently secure their parcel of lands from intruders in the wake of growing hostilities among the infighting ARB factions.

Sustino has singled out leaders of Alcular’s group for enriching themselves with the cooperative’s profits while distributing measly amount of dividends to lowly members during yearly assemblies.

He particularly cited an instance in the past when cooperative’s board of directors and staff received P20,000 each while the members were only given P1,500 each.

Sustino also questioned the unfair policy carried out by Alcular group where the size of an area for every agrarian reform beneficiary will depend on the amount of capital build up it shared which he said runs counter to agrarian reform law of equal distribution of at least three hectares each for ARBs. He also questioned acSee tension, page 11

More than 40 leaders representing various civil society organizations (CSOs) around Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon gathered on November 15 to 17 at the Apple Tree Resort Hotel in Opol to build a strong coalition and establish its collective identity marks, systems, and structure, including their strategic goals.

Like the first and second meetings (the consultation of CSOs at Mallberry Suites from August 17 to 19 and the planning workshop at Forest Park, Dahilayan, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon), the third and final engagement was also facilitated by Xavier University - Governance and Leadership Institute (XU-GLI).

Xavier Atenean and Cagayan de Oro City’s Sangguniang Panlungsod majority floor leader Mark Ian Q Nacaya discussed CSOs' role in local governance.

The final engagement was able to generate the coalition’s name, symbol, vision, strategic goals, structure, and system. The proposed name of the coalition, for instance, is now Sustainable Ridge-River-Reef Advocacy and Management Society (STR3AMS).

They also identified three major strategies to pursue, namely, (1) policy lobbying, (2) research, and (3) information education communication.

Doing the damage

Think a Minute.

This is a true story about a young Jewish boy named Karl who grew up in Germany. Karl’s father was very religious and made sure his family went to the Jewish synagogue and studied the Torah or Jewish bible every day.

When Karl was a teenager his family moved to another German town where all the important people were Christians not Jews.

Suddenly, Karl’s father changed religions—not because he learned the truth that Jesus Christ is the only true God, but because he wanted to be popular and liked by the important people in the community.

Karl’s family was so

terrible damage and influence which resulted from Karl’s hypocrite father.

Our children are watching the way you and I live every day! Our character and attitudes speak much louder than our words. Our kids aren’t stupid. They see the act we put on to look religious and good in front of other people. Then they see how we really are at home.

They see when we’re not honest. They see when we’re two-faced and gossip about others. They see us when we lose our temper and selfcontrol. They see when we won’t forgive someone who hurt and wronged us.

Our kids know whether or not we’re real Christians who live Jesus’ way every

day. But if we are hypocrites, it not only means we ourselves are in danger, it also does great damage to our children’s relationship with God and the kind of people they become as adults.

So won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you? Then ask Him to take charge of your heart so He can start helping you change. That’s the only way your kids canlearn from you how to follow and become like Christ in their character and lifestyle.

surprised and confused.

Young Karl especially became deeply disappointed and angry at his father for being such a hypocrite. A few years later, Karl went to England to study and there he decided not to believe in God anymore.

You see, that young teenage boy who was deeply disappointed and embittered by his hypocrite father was Karl Marx—the father of atheistic socialism. It was Karl Marx who wrote the Communist Manifesto.

So now for almost a hundred years, over a billion people have suffered under the hopeless rule of atheistic socialism which was started by that hurt and bitter young man, Karl Marx. That’s the

gravity and seriousness of the charges against her that are now coming from her very own colleagues in the Supreme Court, the impeachment proceedings in Congress will grind to a halt, preventing each one of us from knowing the truth.

The truth must be unveiled here, at all cost, because as the Bible says, the truth shall set us all free.

While we can no longer deny that in the Philippines at this point in time many can just as easily twist the truth, those who are facing controversies in one way or another must endeavor to disclose their own version of things, so the people can judge everything for themselves.

-oooKARMA IN THE PROBLEMS AFFECTING CHIEF JUSTICES: In the mass that Sereno’s allies celebrated in

UP Diliman, Quezon City the other day, the presence of many former officials of the defunct Noynoy Aquino government was highly noticeable. But, this need not have been a source of wonder for many because it was former President Noynoy who installed Sereno, first as an Associate Justice and, later, as Chief Justice, of the Supreme Court.

Viewing this scenario somehow gave me the creeps, however. The truth is that, many of these officials who served under the Noynoy Aquino government were the very ones that planned, and pursued, and carried out maneuvers fair and foul, so Sereno could be installed as Chief Justice, in replacement of former Chief Justice Renato Corona who was subjected to a rigged impeachment trial presided over by sena-

I remembered what the Bible, in its Galatians 6:7 intoned about karma: “Do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” The message of this verse, as the Word of God, is clear: whatever one did against another would also be done to him or to her.

From Francisco Goya’s series of etchings The disasters of War to Picasso’s Guernica, art has the ability to profoundly shock and disturb.

Bacolod police to maximize personnel vs. crimes BACOLOD CITY -- The Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) will maximize its almost a thousand personnel and augmentation forces to prevent crimes.

Senior Superintendent Francisco Ebreo, who assumed his post as officer-incharge less than a week ago, said in a press conference Friday afternoon that the police will ensure that the presence of uniformed men will be felt.

Mayor Evelio Leonardia urged the police to ensure peace and order to make the Bacolodnons feel safe after he met with Ebreo last Monday.

Ebreo said the BCPO has existing 680 policemen augmented by 311 personnel from the Regional Public Safety Battalion.

He added that policemen in the field should engage with the community so they can easily respond during untoward incidents.

A HAPPY BOOKS TURNOVER IN BINUANGAN, MISOR - “Let us bring back the love for reading,” said by VICE GOVERNOR JOEY G. PELAEZ as he personally turned over hundreds of high quality books for educational references in Kitambis Elementary School, Binuangan, Misamis Oriental.

These books were received by the school children of Kitambis Elementary School through its School-In-Charge JULIET ELLIS and witnessed by Public Schools District Supervisor in Sugbongcogon and Binuangan NIEVA BITONGA, Barangay Chairman JUDERICK ELLIS, Barangay Councilors LUZONIA SARAOS, TEDDY CALLO and TOMAS BALHON, GPTA President MERLYN ATCHEDILLO, officers, parents and more than 70 pupils. It is the vision of the Vice Governor to improve the reading and writing and English comprehension skills of the young people of Misamis Oriental.

This initiative of Vice Governor Pelaez is supported by the Children International Philippines, Inc. (CIPI)

Ebreo held a command conference with all 10 police station chiefs and staff at the city police headquarters on Tuesday.

For his part, Leonardia said the city government wants to preserve the image that Bacolod is a businessfriendly city which provides a climate conducive for growth and development.

“We have to create a sense of security for our constituents to feel that our police are working and Bacolod is secure,” he added.

Ebreo, chief of the Regional Investigation and Detection Management Division (RIDMD) at the Philippine National Police regional office, was named officer-in-charge on November 25.

He assumed the post after the relief of Superintendent Roderick Minong, while he remains as RIDMD chief.

Ebreo will stay as BCPO chief until Mayor Evelio Leonardia chooses the next city police director.(PNA)

Nacaya wins the hearts of Cogon market endors THE Monday’s convocation, November 27, 2017 was highlighted by the presentation of cultural dances from the Muslim community and the officers of CUVA or the Carmen United Vendors Association who also took their oath of office before the City Mayor.

As the program continued, the officers of the CUMVA or the Cogon United Market Vendors Association, headed

by Engr. Franklyn Dagcuta stood before thousands of City Hall Employees and read the three citations and awards of recognition for exemplary performance as a leader and chief implementer of the effective management of Cogon Market, which led to the clearing operation of illegal vendors and instilling discipline and dispensing dynamic public governance over the cogon market affairs to Majority Floor Leader and Chairman of the City’s Economic Enterprise, City Councilor Ian Mark Q. Nacaya.

During the City Mayor’s

address, he extended his felicitation to Councilor Nacaya for his resolve and political will and no nonsense implementation of traffic and market laws. He said further that the good councilor risked his life and political career in pushing reforms in the city’s market places, but history will be the judge that he was indeed fearless in discharging his duties as city official who is worthy of emulation. The mayor then proclaimed City Councilor Nacaya as the real “BAYANI NG MERKADO“ for the things he had done for a “Mahamugaway ug Malambuon nga Merkado”, for which the stall holders now earn more income and they are able to pay their rents and permits to operate business in the market.

The employees loudly cheered for the victor and multi-awarded councilor by clapping their hands and greeted him for a great feat in putting the rule of law in the management of the public markets. PR

Biblical reflection

The favors and blessings from God must be shared The Gospel of Jesus Christ (December5, 2017-Tuesday)Matthew 18:21-35” For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves.

“When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. But since he did not

have the means to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made.

You have given the talents from God to use it not for yourself but for the welfare of others.

You need to help anyone discovered their talents also in life. The favors

and blessings from God must be shared to your neighbors. Do not keep it because the real measure of your richness is not what you have owned, but to what you have given.

Be good because God is very good to your life.

Be a bridge of the love of God to anyone. The more you experienced the goodness of God,

supposedly, the more you let others experienced it also from you. Be an ambassador of God’s love and forgiveness. Be a living God in the society that you are in. I notice many times that we are liars because we pray the Our Father constantly and in this prayer, there is asking forgiveness from God as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

You know what? This is abused many times and in fact, this leads us to more sins. We lie to God on this prayer because we have enemies not yet forgiven. Take note, for you to become worthy of God’s forgiveness, give your pardon to anyone.

They deserved forgiveness even how grievous

Bro. Edcel L. Closas their offenses toward you.

have fear in their hearts.

Truly, pursuant to God’s Word, the same thing is going to happen to whoever will replace her. As Jesus said, the earth and the sky will fade away, but His Words will remain forever.

Under these circumstances, the best thing to do is to rely on the Word of God in resolving the problems Sereno is now facing. The same advice actually applies to all other leaders as well.

We must take heed, first of all, about the admonition in Romans 13:1-2, which mandates that everyone should subject themselves to authorities. Then, secondly, we must obey 1 Timothy 2:1-4 in its mandate for us to pray for our leaders.

Many enemies of Sereno will surely scoff (as usual) at what these verses are saying, but if they are true believers in God, it is right and just that they value and obey His commands.

If Sereno truly erred and the charges against her are true, God Himself will act against her. If the charges are not true, God will act against her accusers.

Killing... from page 1

Aquilino Pimentel, III, has expressed shock and alarmed over the killing of Rotoras and enjoined the law enforcers to work double time to arrest the culprits.

“I am alarmed and outraged by this latest attack on our law-abiding and dedicated public servants.

I urge the police to work double time to arrest the killers and unmask the mastermind,” Pimentel said in a statement.

Police investigators said that the assailants gained entry and exit to the guarded subdivision’s main gate by mounting a stair at the back of the subdivision’s perimeter fence where the suspects came out near the location of Rotoras’ house.

Aside from serving as USTP President for 11 years prior to the shooting incident, Rotoras was elected (unopposed) for the fourth time as the President of the Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC) on July 2017 in an election held in Manila.

Rotoras who was appointed President in 2006 of the then Mindanao Polytechnic State College (MPSC) prior to its conversion as the Mindanao

University of Science and Technology (MUST) in 2009.

Rotoras also worked in collaboration with Congressman Rufus Rodriguez, of Cagayan De Oro City’s 2nd District, and Senator Francis Escudero to transform the MUST into the USTP in 2016.

In an expression of solidarity and mourning the USTP’s official website at cdo.ustp.gov.ph published the following, “We, the USTP community, mourn our loss and condemn the violent act which took away the dynamic, Phronetic, and inspiring leader who has faithfully served as President of our university for 11 years. Justice of Dr. Ricardo Enriquez Rotoras.” -0-

Tuesday, December 5, 2017 nal resolution in the subdivision of lands was reached in a fair and justifiable manner for the parties to peacefully co-exist to equal rights and access to farm roads leading to the national highway and mountainous areas.

DAR officials in a meeting with the three ARB factions and other stakeholders on Oct. 17, handed down the final decision on the distribution of lands because as what DAR Caraga Regional Director Julita Carandang pointed out, “ we could no longer wait for another time because the case has been dragging for such a long time.”

Bautista said Alcular only sent a representative during the crucial meeting which could not decide on the final agreement but later the group protested the decision in the meeting with stakeholders on Nov. 9.

He said Alcular who was present during the meeting to air their protest has even warned he could no longer control some members to be unruly if their new proposal would not be heeded by the body.

But the provincial DAR chief said the new proposal submitted by Alcular’s faction was grossly unfair since they wanted the splinter factions’ areas near the boundaries of converted land reform lands where it is already abandoned in the development of palm oil trees and near influenced areas of the New Peoples Army.

countability of the hundreds of millions of pesos the cooperative earned in the last three years which members of the splinter groups have been deprived of dividends.

Point of interest The third faction led by a certain Abalaya remains mum on the incident although it has been the focus of envy of Alcular’s group after DAR assigned some 307 hectares of replanted palm oil lands already bearing fruits and produced at least P2 million a month.

But Alcular’s group which also set up tents near the main entrance of the palm oil plantation has claimed the productive area from page 1 as theirs being the mother 3J2 Bible Center Church cooperative and has been getting the monthly P2 mil- Iligan City, Dr. Bishop Joy lion earnings since 2014 Bendoy, the president and while there was still no founder of Fervent Genresolution in the subdivi- eration Church Ministries, sion of the palm oil lands.
