Customs exec gets threat as ‘Sokor’ cleans ‘garbage’ Since

1923

By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

MISAMIS Oriental--An official of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) is getting ‘death threats’ as repatriation of 6,300 tons of garbage started this week. John Simon, the collector at the BOC’s sub-port on the Mindanao International Container Terminal (MICT), in the Phividec Industrial Estate in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, said he has been receiving “calls” and “text messages” warning him to be careful. “I don’t give a damn to the threats for as long as I believed that what I am doing is for the country,” Simon told the Mindanao Daily News. He said that the South Korean government has started shipping back 51 container vans of “garbage” The members of the EcoWaste Coalition hold a picket rally in front of the plastic trash from South Korea.

Survey: Voters want candidates who will address plastic pollution

SEVEN out of 10 Filipinos will support candidates who will ban establishments from using singleuse plastic across the country, according to a Social Weather Stations survey undertaken on the third quarter of 2018. The nationwide survey also showed that eight out of 10 Filipinos will vote for a candidate who will advocate for the strict implementation of solid waste management laws. The survey also revealed that eight of 10 Fili-

pinos support prohibiting groceries, public markets, fast food chains, and other similar establishments from using or providing non-biodegradable plastic bags, with a net approval rating of ‘extremely strong.’ “The voters have spoken, and they want candidates who will address the issue of plastic pollution with true and lasting solutions. We are hearing a lot now on how politicians want to solve this crisis, but sadly, these are band aid solutions that

are mostly done for show. Our voters are looking at the midterm elections to choose candidates who will present a vision and see that vision translate into action,” said Abigail Aguilar, campaigner for Greenpeace Southeast Asia - Philippines. The survey revealed a strong clamor for regulating or banning single-use plastics and the proper and full implementation of Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Law, which

provides for solid waste reduction through proper waste segregation, recycling, composting, and other ecological methods before disposal in the appropriate facilities. Despite being hailed as one of the world’s most progressive laws on waste management, the implementation of the 18-year old law has suffered from lack of political will, alleged corruption by local government officials, and contradicting policies

Over 900 locally funded projects completed in Northern Mindanao

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- Nine hundred twentyone (921) locally funded projects of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in northern Mindanao are now completed from the year 2012, serving more communities in the region. “It was challenging for all of us considering that the department continually evolves into venturing and opening its doors to more programs and projects,” DILG 10 Regional Director Arnel M. Agabe said. He further said, “Demands as public servants are arising especially that our government pushes for exemplary service delivery.” Despite these, DILG 10 was able to deliver and complete numerous projects since 2012. For one, through the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA), the central program for peace and development to enhance socio-economic conditions in areas affected and vulnerable to armed conflict sealed its program in 2016 with a total of 31 completed projects in Region 10. Moreover, intended to serve the waterless communities, the Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig para sa Lahat (SALINTUBIG) accomplished 107 projects in partnership with the Department of Health (DOH) and National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC). Another, a total of 177projects were completed through Local Government Source Fund (LGSF), serving as a fuel for local government units (LGUs) to deliver basic services by providing financial subsidy for the implementation of their programs and projects. Aside from PAMANA, SALINTUBIG and Local Government Support Fund (LGSF), director Agabe said See PROJECTS, page 10

MARAWI CITY -- The Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) resumes the implementation of Kathanor or the profiling for the internally displaced individuals (IDPs) and returned residents of Marawi City on January 14, Monday. A simultaneous IDP profiling is now being done in separate venues for the most affected area (MAA)

residents and non-MAA residents. The profiling aims to collect the number, location, and IDPs and returnees of the war-torn city to help the other TFBM memberagencies to improve their delivery of services and provide applicable programs and projects for the recovery of the Marawi residents. Salimah Omar, a former resident of Barangay Datu Naga, recognized the

smooth implementation of the Kathanor despite some challenges they have encountered when doing the steps for biometric profiling. She believes the importance of doing Kathanor, especially for her fellow MAA residents. Omar encourages other IDPs to submit themselves to profiling saying, “yung mga kapwa kong IDPs, mag-join na kayo dito sa See KATHANOR, page 5

Environment

Group urges DENR to bare findings on SoKor firm’s trash By JIGGER JERUSALEM PNA

CAGAYAN de Oro City--An environmental advocacy group has urged Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu to look into the result of the toxicity test conducted by the Environment Management Bureau-10 (EMB10) in connection with the controversial tons of trash from South Korea. Bencyrus Ellorin, chairperson of the Pinoy Aksyon for Governance and the Environment, said he found it “mind boggling” that EMB-

10 is withholding the result of the toxicity test of the 6,500 tons of waste that arrived in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental from Pyongtaek City, South Korea last year. Ellorin said EMB-10 should be transparent in its findings on the plastic wastes. “No less than [EMB-10 regional director] Sabdullah Abubakar admitted in a meeting with us last month that indeed the wastes were found toxic which means there could be violations to RA [Republic Act] 6969 or the toxic and hazardous

materials law,” Ellorin said in Pinoy Aksyon’s January 7 statement. The plastic trash was supposed to be used as raw material for a recycling facility owned and operated by Verde Soko Philippines Industrial Corp., located inside the Phividec Industrial Estate complex in Sitio Buguac, Barangay Santa Cruz, Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental. Both the EMB-10 and the Bureau of Customs-10 (BOC-10) red-flagged the garbage when Verde Soko failed to comply with some

of the government requirements. EMB-10 said Verde Soko was not able to obtain an import permit for the plastic wastes, while BOC-10 maintained that the imported trash was not properly declared by the importer. As of this p osting, Abubakar has yet to issue an official reply to Pinoy Aksyon’s statement. Earlier this month, the Philippine and South Korean governments have agreed to ship back the trash back to South Korea.

Ellorin said South Korean must re-ship all the imported garbage as he noted only 1,400 of the 6,500 tons are to be returned to the country of origin. “While the return of 1,400 tons of waste of Korea is cause for celebration, 5,100 tons are left behind.

Opinion By Patricio P. Diaz MindaNews

GENERAL Santos City-The cities of Isabela and Cotabato are odd. They live in the House they were born in; have legally denied through election kinship with the members of the House they were born with; but, by necessity, have grown by and enjoyed the blessings they were born to. Now, they are being asked for the third time to acknowledge that kinship and join their kin to determine for themselves, by right, how to develop their richly endowed House. Must they elect to acknowledge and join? That is their burden. Isabela City [Interesting Historical Note: istoric Zamboanga City when created in 1937included Basilan Island.. Basilan was created into a separate city in1948. In 1973, Presidential Decree No. 356 created the Island as Basilan Province with three municipalities – Isabela (capital), Lamitan and Maluso – without abolishing Basilan City but retaining it in an area of about one square kilometer sliced off Isabela. Later, two successive decrees amended PD No. 356. In No. 593, seven new municipalities were created while Basilan City was slightly enlarged; in No. 840, the ten municipalities

Burden of two cities were reduced to seven and Basilan City was merged with Isabela. On March 5, 2001 Isabela became a city. (Source: Wikipedia)] In the November 1989 plebiscite, Basilan opted out of the ARMM under RA No. 6734. In the August 14, 2001 plebiscite, it joined the so-called expanded ARMM under RA No. 9054; but, Isabela, voting separately as chartered city by then, opted out. Consequently, Basilan relocated its capital to Lamitan (now a city) and Isabela City was left in an awkward situation. First, administratively, Isabela City, still under the jurisdiction of Basilan, fell outside that of the ARMM while remaining with Region IX which is composed of the three Zamboanga Provinces and Zamboanga City with its seat in Pagadian City. As such, regional services for Isabela City come from offices in Region IX, not the ARMM; the Basilan provincial government and its Sangguniang Panlalawigan provide provincially devolved services. Second, as just a component city –not independent component – (a) Isabela City is still being regulated by the Basilan provincial government in the administration of provincially devolved services and functions; (b) it shares its tax revenues with the province; (c) its residents are eligible to both

vote and run for provincial offices of Basilan; and, (d) it is part of lone congressional district of Basilan. Cotabato City Cotabato City, an independent component city, refused to join the ARMM in 1989 and 2001. Remaining in Region XII, it is like Isabela City in one way but not in others. First, in both RA Nos. 6734 and 9054, Cotabato City was designated as the tentative seat of ARMM until the Regional Assembly could pick the permanent seat. It passed up the privilege conferred. However, it continued enjoying it when ARMM failed to choose its permanent seat. Second, as Isabela City ceased being the capital of Basilan, Cotabato City lost the seat of Region XII to Koronadal City. Third, unlike Isabela City, as an independent component city of Maguindanao, Cotabato City is not administratively subject to the provincial government of Maguindanao which provides no services to the city; does not share its tax revenues with the province; does not participate in Maguindanao elections except that for congressional representative as it is part of the first congressional district of Maguindanao. Common concerns Except for losing the convenience due their politi-

cal capital status – as capital of Basilan on the part of Isabela City and of Region XII in the case of Cotabato City – they did not lose any by opting out of the ARMM. Since 2001, they have shown significant increases in their income and population – evidence of social and economic growth. Do they have to join BARMM or Bangsamoro,¸for short? To unburden themselves, their voters should weigh these vital issues and facts: On politics: Political leaders of the two cities relate with leaders of their immediate political neighbors to promote their common political welfare or solve their problems. They elect their representatives to the Congress together with the voters of the districts of the provinces to which they belong. On economy: The two cities do trade and commerce with areas and people immediately around them, not with their distant regions. Cotabato City, for instance, uses primarily the port of Polloc in Parang and the airport in Awang, Datu Odin, both in Maguindanao for its trade and commerce. On peace and order: Both cities are represented in the peace and order councils of their regions; yet, in reality those councils have nothing to do with security and peace and order See BURDEN, page 11

Changing change By William R. Adan MindaNews

NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental--If we want to achieve meaningful and lasting change, we must change the way we change. If we want to stop corruption, we must stop the practice of patronage politics, the institutionalizing of political dynasty and the recycling of corrupt officials in the government. If we want to stop the use of illegal drugs from destroying the health and lives of people and from undermining the peace and stability of society, and if killing we really must, we don’t stop at killing drug addicts but must run after and kill

the producers of the prohibited drugs. If we want to stop plastic trash from clogging our waterways, from destroying our aquatic and marine habitats, we must stop the production, sale and use of single-use plastic. If we want to stop firecrackers from maiming people and causing deadly fires, we must stop their production and sale with unblinking determination. If we want to stop bullying among kids, we must stop from bullying anyone at whim. If we want to be understood, we must not double-talk. If we want to be followed, we must walk our talk. If we want others to change, we

must change ourselves first before attempting to change them. Said a sage: If you want to change the state, you must first change the province. If you want to change the province, you must first change the town. If you want to change the town, you must first change the village. If you want to change the village, you first must change your family. If you want to change the family, you first must change yourself. (MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews. William R.

Success is mostly failure THINK a minute. A Successful man said: “Success is mostly about failing.” What we don’t know about the world’s most successful people is the many times they failed before they finally succeeded. Successful people know how to keep going and learning from their failures until they finally reach their goal. As a famous entertainer put it: “If you want the rainbow, you’ve got to put up with the rain.” This is a true story of a man who when he was 22 years old failed at business. The next year he tried for public office in the government and lost; so he tried

again at business, but failed at that again. Then, at age 25 he tried for government office again and this time he won. But the next year his wife-to-be died, and at age 27 he had a nervous breakdown. In the next 7 years he tried for government office 3 more times and lost all 3 times. Then 3 years later, at age 37, he tried again for government office and finally won. But only 2 years later he lost it again. In the next 10 years, he tried 2 more times for the Senate and lost both times. Then he tried for Vice President and lost that also. Finally, 2 years later, at age 51, this

man was elected President of the United States. Today, he is considered by many Americans to be the greatest President in America’s history. This is the true life story of Abraham Lincoln. Failing should make us better, not bitter. You can tell how strong a person is by how much failure it takes to stop him or her from continuing to try. Jesus Christ wants to give you His inner strength in your heart and character, so you will be able to handle your life’s difficulties and disappointments. In fact, you will actually learn to use them to make you stronger and wiser. Jesus wants to guide

100 families flee homes as govt forces, NPA clash

Thursday, January 17, 2019

THE WORD, in other words Proverbs 9:10-12 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy one is understanding, for by me your days will be multiplied and years of your life will be added to you. If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, and if you scoff, you will bear it alone. According to this word

ILIGAN City--Operating troops of Bravo Company, 51st Infantry Battalion, Philippine Army encountered dozens of New People’s Army around 7 in the morning Tuesday (January 15) in Sitio Bukana, Barangay Mainit this city. A report from the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade stated that government troops were conducting combat clearing operations when they encountered the armed men. Firefight lasted for 45 minutes. Casualties While there was no casualty on the side of the Philippine Army, Brigadier

General Thomas Sedano, commander of 2nd Mechanized Brigade, said there were reported wounded and or casualties on the side of the enemies. “Residents in the area reported they saw some wounded armed men being carried by their comrades as they withdrew,” Sedano said. “We continue pursuing them until they will surrender and or be driven away from the residential area,” he added. Evacuation As a result of the firefight, some 100 families from the area fled their homes for fear of getting caught in a crossfire according to Mayor Celso Regencia in an interview with a local radio station.

But Sedano said some of these families returned to their homes when fire fight ended. “We advised them not to go down to Iligan City (proper). We ensured them of their safety. We have driven the NPA away from the residential area. We put primacy on the safety of civilians during combat operations,” Sedano said in an interview. Fiesta mass cancelled A scheduled mass at the barracks of the soldiers in Barangay Digkilaan, supposedly to celebrate the feast of Sto. Nino on that same day was cancelled according to resident Marvic Manait. But it was cancelled a day before because the CAFGU members and the soldiers

are on red alert status. “On the afternoon of January 14, our parish secretary told us that the (CAFGU) Cadre cancelled the fiesta mass because they are on red alert,” Manait said. Authorities are also investigating a farmer, who claimed to be a resident of Sitio Ampucao, Mainit, after he was brought to a hospital in Iligan because of a wound he sustained when he got an accident while driving his motorcycle. Ampucao is some kilometers away from the encounter site. Sedano said, hospitals in nearby Misamis Oriental are also monitored. Wounded armed men were possibly brought in nearby hospitals for treatment.

STATE lawyers on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court (SC) to turn down the petition filed before the court, which challenges the validity of the extension of martial law in Mindanao. In a 50-page comment, the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) pointed out that conditions warranting the extension of martial law did not end with the cessation

of the Marawi City siege by extremist groups. The OSG also insisted that there is “sufficient factual basis to extend the duration of the effectivity of martial law since rebellion persists in Mindanao and (that) public safety requires the extension.” Solicitor General Jose Calida also underscored that Congress has the sole authority to allow or deny

any extension of martial law, explaining that the petitioners in the case failed to show that they will be prejudiced by the extension of martial law. “Petitioners do not have a clear and unmistakable legal right to prevent the implementation of the extension of martial law in Mindanao,” he said. Among other things, the top government coun-

sel also pointed out is that communist terrorist groups have pursued recruitment campaigns in Mindanao, leading to more lawlessness and violence. No less than 181 persons in the martial law arrest orders have remained at large, Calida underscored. “Despite the dwindling strength and capabilities

Economy to grow 6.8%-7.2% in 2019: FMIC, UA&P MANILA -- The Philippine economic growth trajectory is expected to pick up this year, growing between 6.8 percent and 7.2 percent on an upturn in consumption spending amid improving inflation outlook, the First Metro Investments Corp. (FMIC) and the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) said Tuesday. UA&P economist Victor Abola said the projected economic expansion is within the government’s 7 percent to 8 percent growth target for the year. “Domestic demand continues to push it forward and is also being led by investments.

Mindanao accountants converge in CDO, tackling tech evolution

SYDNEY -- A new study by international researchers has revealed for the first time that termites play a significant role in lessening the effects of drought in rainforests, showing once again that even the smallest players can have big effects on ecosystems. Termites are among the most abundant animals in tropical rainforests and are one of the only living organisms able to break down the cellulose in plant material. “The sheer quantity of termites suggests these insects have important roles to play in rainforest ecosystems, however what that role is has never been understood up until now,” study co-leader and University of Western Australia Associate Professor Theodore Evans explained. To conduct the study, the team removed termites from an area in Malaysian Borneo using baiting techniques, and then compared that patch to one with an unaffected amount of termites during the 2015-16 El Niño drought. They found that the number of termites in the unsuppressed area grew during the droughts, and that throughout that time they created a higher rate of leaf litter decomposition and nutrient heterogeneity, as well as increased soil moisture and seedling survival compared with the

ers and some spendings as well,” he said. Abola said the economy will still be driven by industry, construction, and manufacturing. “Sustained fiscal stimulus from infrastructure spending will also continue to power the economy,” the FMIC and UA&P said. Abola said the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) likely grew 6.5 percent last year. The Philippine economic growth averaged 6.3 percent in the first three quarters of 2018. Meanwhile, inflation is on a clear downward trend and is expected to taper off to 3 percent to 3.5 percent due to the normalization of food supply and lower global oil prices. (PNA)

AboitizPower remains keen on offshore biz MANILA -- AboitizPower remains keen on investment opportunities outside the Philippines, its Chief Operating Officer Emmanuel Rubio said Tuesday. Rubio told reporters that the company is still looking for investment opportunities in the power generation business in Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Myanmar, and Vietnam. He said AboitizPower is

currently doing feasibility studies and finding the right partners in those markets. “We’re always in the lookout in Indonesia, Vietnam, and Myanmar. Until we get something concrete out of our business development group, I don’t think I can disclose any project, but we’re there in those countries,” he said. “We’re just doing feasibility studies, looking for partners,” Rubio added. He noted that it is crucial

for the company to find the right partners who should have a good understanding about the local regulatory environment. “We’ve realized that identifying the right partner is the key. You really have to be complementing and the values should be aligned. There are actually partners that we’ve identified outside,” Rubio said. “Second, of course, is being able to understand the regulatory environment and

be able to identify the risks present in those countries. Once we feel we can mitigate risks we’ve identified, if there are any, then I guess those are the key ingredients in getting to a country,” he added. Rubio also mentioned that renewable energy projects will be the primary focus of AboitizPower in going to those countries, but the company remains “open to any opportunity” it may encounter overseas.

MANILA -- Despite strong opposition being put up by business owners and employers, workers group Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) is mulling the filing of wage increase petitions in all regional wage boards to raise the salary of workers amid the increases in the prices of food and services caused by the implementation of new excise tax on fuel under the

Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law this year. TUCP President Raymond Mendoza said in a statement Tuesday that the labor center is monitoring the movement of prices of basic commodities following the increase in the prices of diesel and gasoline effective Tuesday through TUCP affiliates nationwide. He said the labor union

might file a minimum of P313 to a maximum of P355 wage increase petition based on the current prices of commodities. “We will be citing supervening conditions in filing the petitions. We are also going to test once again the capacity of the wage boards to remain relevant with its mandate to raise the minimum wage to an amount that can ably sup-

port a family,” Mendoza said. Meantime, Mendoza said there is a strong clamor from its members and social media netizens to push for the abolition of differentiated wage rates and put up a single wage setting body that uniformly adjusts minimum wage rates across-the-board nationwide using social and economic data in

Assistance to Hanjin workers assured

THE labor department has assured workers of Hanjin Heavy Industries of necessary assistance on their imminent displacement right after the Korean shipbuilder declared bankruptcy and applied for rehabilitation. Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said affected workers will get their separation pay, which is equivalent to one-month salary per year of service. “The Subic Shipbuilder Corporation (SUSHICOR), Hanjin’s general contractor in shipbuilding, has given us assurance that their workers will get their separation pay and fulfill their labor obligations under the supervision of DOLE Region 3,” Bello said. Aside from ensuring assistance to the affected workers, DOLE through its regional office in Region 3 and Bureau of Local Employment will conduct profiling of workers for the provision of appropriate services and interventions necessary for their possible re-employment as most of the Hanjin workers are highly skilled and in-demand in the country and in abroad. “We need to profile the See WORKERS, page 9

STL earnings up by 65% in 2018

Balutan

THE year 2018 was definitely a tough year for Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), but seeing how the agency hurdled all the challenges, how it grew as an agency and breached last year’s target, make all the sacrifices and efforts worthwhile. “My first two years as General Manager was no joke. President Rodrigo Duterte appointed me here in 2016 because he expected so much from me – that I will deliver, that I will stop illegal gambling. I cannot say 100 percent na wala ng illegal gambling kasi meron pa rin talagang mangilan-ngilan na nag-iiligal at matitigas ang ulo pero unti-unti na silang nagma-migrate sa STL, but from original 18, we now have 84 Authorized STL Agents (ASAs) nationwide,” revealed PCSO General Manager Alexander Balutan. From P4.7 billion earnings in 2016, the agency

was able to raise it to P15.7 billion in just one year, ending 2018 with P26,103,422,348.39 gross sales, a 65 percent increase compared with the same period last year. “This is record high in history of PCSO even in any other agency. Sinong hindi matutuwa? Kaya talaga abot-abot ang aking pasasalamat sa ating gaming public sa pagtangkilik sa ating mga produkto, sa ating mga masisipag na empleyado at branch managers, at s’yempre sa ating mga STL operators at agents nationwide,” added Balutan. Of the P63.55 billion gross sales in 2018, Lotto and digit games was the highest earning product at P31,902,529,360 followed by STL. “In 2016, P37.4 billion lang ang kinita ng ahensya. Nung maupo kami ni former PCSO Chairman Jose Jorge Corpuz, we ended 2017 with P53.9 billion sales to

almost P54 billion. Ngayon kasama ni PCSO Chairman Anselmo Simeon Pinili at mga Board of Directors, tinapos natin ang 2018 ng may P63.55 billion na kita,” said Balutan. STL was introduced in 2006 as part of the government campaign to eradicate illegal numbers game, but the initial implementation was not successful. O ver the years, the agency was plagued with alleged corrupt activities that even President Rodrigo Duterte described it as the “most corrupt agency in the government”. To help fight crime and corruption, the President appointed former uniformed men in government offices, such as Balutan as PCSO’s general manager. Balutan, a battle-tested former marine general who earned the moniker “Mandirigma” (warrior) from his many battles and years in

owned by the Lucky Circle Corporation, with ticket outlet at SM Bacolod, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental,” said Balutan. Arnel Casas, PCSO’s assistant general manager for gaming sector, said the odds of winning in Ultra Lotto 6/58 is one in 40.4 million.

Lotto has not yet produced a billionaire. While Ultra Lotto 6/58 jackpot prize reached P1,180,622,508 last October 2018, it was shared by two people. The winning combination was 40-50-3725-01-45. That was the second time

this year that two people won the Ultra Lotto 6/58 prize. Last February 16, two bettors shared the P331-million prize. “Gaya ng lagi kong paalala sa mga nananalo, use your money wisely. Huwag maging one-day millionaire. Save for your future. Invest,” Balutan added.

IT only took P24.00 – one bet – that changed the life of one person and became the very first Ultra Lotto 6/58 millionaire for 2019. “Congratulations to our lucky millionaire. He will take home the P58,472,458 jackpot prize,” announced Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office

Section 1. Chapter 2, Section 11 (a) and (b) of the Local Government Code of 1991 provides that the Local Government Unit shall specify the seat of government from where the governmental and corporate services shall be delivered. In selecting said site, factors relating to geographical centrality, accessibility, availability of transportation and communication facilities, drainage and sanitation, development and economic progress and other relevant consideration shall be taken into account when the condition and development in the local government unit concerned have significantly changed subsequent to the establishment of the seat of government. Section 2. The Municipality of Initao has developed into a progressive, promising and viable local government unit. However, its facilities, particularly the Municipal Building, hardly can meet the requirements considered necessary to provide much better services to its constituents. Section 3. The present Municipal Building of Initao, located at Codilla Street, Barangay Poblacion has limited office space for new offices and manpower compliment where both are essential to carry out the programs, projects and activities of the local government as well as that of the national government. These factors greatly affect the LGU operation and services. Section 4. Considering its old existence, the present municipal building becomes prone to effects of natural calamity and disaster and makes it unsafe for keeping of public documents. Section 5. The Local Government Unit of Initao has purchased a lot containing an area of Forty Thousand Twenty Four (40, 024) square meters more or less, located at Purok-1-A, Barangay Jampason, Initao, Misamis Oriental covered by Tax Declaration No. 21-0002-01466 known to be as Lot No. 2638-B.

The Municipal Government of Initao has appropriated the amount of Eighty Million (P80,000,000.00) Pesos for the construction of Multi-Purpose Hall including park development and road access, which is intended for the new municipal building. The said amount was the proceeds of a loan with the Development Bank of the Philippines, authorized pursuant to Municipal Ordinance No. 06, S. 2018. Section 7. Upon the completion of the municipal building, the transfer of the seat of government of LGU of Initao from Codilla Street, Barangay Poblacion to its new site located at Purok 1-A, Barangay Jampason, shall be allowed including its offices and facilities. Section 8. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE. If, for any reason or reasons, any part or provision of this Ordinance shall be held to be unconstitutional or invalid, other parts or provision hereof which are not affected thereby shall continue to be in full force and effect. Section 9. EFFECTIVITY. This ordinance shall take effect upon its approval and publication in any newspaper of local circulation and the posting thereof in bulletin boards at the entrance of municipal hall and in at least two (2) other conspicuous and publicly accessible places within the territorial jurisdiction of the municipality. ENACTED by the Sangguniang Bayan of the Municipality of Initao this 26th day of November 2018. -oOo

Trillanes pleads ‘not guilty’ to 4 counts of libel DAVAO CITY -- Senator Antonio Trillanes IV pleaded “not guilty” to four counts of libel filed against him by former vice mayor Paolo Duterte and lawyer Manases Carpio. “Mabuti naman. Nag plead not guilty ako (It was good. I pleaded not guilty),” said Trillanes in an interview after an almost two-hour arraignment that started at about 8:30 a.m on Tuesday. Wearing a black shirt with Magdalo’s logo, Trillanes arrived at the Hall of Justice at around 8 a.m. at the Regional Trial Court Branch 54 under Judge Melinda Alconcel-Dayanghirang, where he was met by some Magdalo supporters. Lawyer Rainier Madrid, Paolo Duterte’s legal counsel, said they welcome the senator’s arraignment for the case to move forward. “At least he has been arraigned at gumagalaw na yung mga kaso (and the cases can now proceed),” Madrid said, adding their camp intends to complete the cases in a year.

76 ex-NPAs get cash benefits in Davao City DAVAO CITY -- The 76 former New People’s Army (NPA) rebels, who surrendered in this city, were given a new lease in life after receiving a total of PHP4.4 million in total cash benefits under the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) on Monday. Mayor Sara Z. Duterte, who led the distribution of benefits, along with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) officials, said she wanted the money released immediately so the former rebels can feel the tangible impact of the government’s programs. Of the total amount, some PHP3.51 million from the DILG was intended for livelihood assistance while the local government provided a total of PHP975,000 for firearms remuneration. Each of the surrenderers received either PHP65,000 or PHP40,000 representing immediate cash assistance of PHP15,000, remuneration for surrendered firearms at PHP50,000 for highpowered f irearms and PHP25,000 for the smaller ones.

One of the recipients, 20-year-old Jerome (not his real name), received PHP65,000. He said he was nervous, and at the same time happy with his newfound freedom after his surrender in January last year. Jerome said he was 18 when the NPA recruited him to be posted in the areas of North Cotabato and

the hinterland parts of the city. He said he would use the money to open a small store and engage in piggery. Like Jerome, Ka Princess (name also withheld) who received PHP65,000 also wants to engage in raising pigs. Ka Princess was a political instructor of the NPA’s Pulang Bagani Command 1, which operates in Paquibato

District. He was in college when he joined the NPA. Ka Princess said he has become a target for assassination of the NPA after she abandoned the communist rebel group. Brig. Gen. Ernesto Torres, commander of the Army’s 1003rd Brigade, said 54 beneficiaries were given financial assistance under See GET, page 10

Professional development of a teacher makes teaching learning process effective is one that’s rife with change and sometimes hardship. If you’re considering seeking a post as a teacher, arm yourself with some facts about the profession to ensure that your decision is an informed one. For a teacher who aimed at increasing teaching learning process effective, he/she should grab every opportunity available to achieve professional development. Professional development generally refers to ongoing learning opportunities available to teachers and other education personnel through their

schools and districts. Effective professional development is often seen as vital to school success and teacher satisfaction, but it has also been criticized for its cost, often vaguely determined goals, and for the lack of data resulting teacher and school improvement that characterizes many efforts. According to Anthony Rebora, author of the article Professional Development, “With schools today facing an array of complex challenges – from working with an increasingly diverse population of students, to integrating new technology in the classroom, to meeting rigorous academic standards

and goals – observers continue to stress the need for teachers to be able to enhance and build on their instructional knowledge. Parsing the strengths and weaknesses of the vast array of programs that purport to invest in teachers’ knowledge and skills continue to be a challenge. Today, professional development activities include formal teacher induction, the credits or degrees teachers earn as part of recertification or to receive salary boosts, the national-board-certification process, and participation in subject-matter associations or informal network.

Meanwhile, the ADM, administered to increase citizens’ access to basic facilities and ensure participation of civil society organizations, has accomplished 167 projects in Region 10. After ADM’s transition to the Assistance to Municipalities (AM) Program in 2018, it has given away a total of 120 projects, which are targeted to be completed in the 2nd quarter of 2019. Projects under PCF in the

region have installed a total of 37 projects. PCF is an incentive system, attained through passing the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG), designed to motivate LGUs to keep the bar high in quality service especially in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through good local governance. Agabe also said the DILG continues its pursuit in providing local government units technical assistance and guidance for the effective, efficient and fast completion of the locally funded projects.

a hearing for mediation tentatively scheduled on March 21. But Madrid said the March 21 hearing may not proceed because of the pending petition by Trillanes to review the resolution of local prosecutors indicting the Senator. The DOJ review will take about 60 days, he added. Madrid said it is up to the court if it orders both parties to go into mediation, adding it is also up to his clients, too, whether a public apology from Trillanes is acceptable. Harassment Madrid laughed off Trillanes’ characterization of the cases, saying they are mere harassments. “As far as we are concerned these are not harassment — these are legal proceedings and by doing our job we intend to send him to jail. It’s our job to prove the cases. We feel he will be convicted,” he said. Trillanes vowed the cases will not distract him from his Senate functions, saying he will continue to exercise his mandate as a member of the opposition. “Kailangan po natin sa isang demokrasya ang isang miyembro ng opposition laban sa pang aabuso at pagmamalabis (In a democracy we need a member of an opposition against abuse and harassment),” the senator said. “Nandito tayo sa Davao para harapin ito at ipakita natin na di natin tinatakbuhan o tinatalikuran ang mga ganitong hamon ((I am here in Davao to face the cases and show to all that I do not run away from these challenges),” Trillanes told reporters. The senator’s lawyers earlier asked the court to

defer the arraignment, a move that the local court rejected. Madrid said the hearings on the four counts of libel will be in Davao City and that their camp would oppose any request for transfer of venue. Paolo filed three libel cases and Carpio pressed one libel charge against Trillanes over the latter’s alleged derogatory statements against the pair. Trillanes dragged Paolo and Carpio’s names into the PHP6.4-billion shabu smuggling issue and the Uber franchise application. Trillanes had alleged on a dyAB Cebu radio interview that Paolo and Carpio connived with a Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board official in Central Visayas in demanding a bribe in return for the approval of an Uber franchise. The senator also made statements on dzMM and CNN that both Paolo and Carpio found damaging. Paolo and Carpio have repeatedly denied both allegations, even as far as appearing before a Senate inquiry where they strongly condemned the senator’s accusations. (PNA)

Torres said a total of 45 former rebels were also granted assistance amounting to PHP2.9 million by the DILG and the Davao del Norte provincial government on December 21. In her message to former rebels, Mayor Sara advised them to invest their money. “Do not spend it on alcohol. Do not use it on activities where you cannot see the result of your investment,” Sara said in the dialect. The mayor also said the former rebels should explore and avail of the opportunities provided by the local government, such as free education for their children, skills and entrepreneurship training, or jobs if they want to work with the city government, the Davao City Police Office (DCPO), and the Philippine Army.

non-drought period. Termites need to live in moist conditions, meaning that during the drought they moved ground water to the surface soil, increasing soil moisture by 36 percent, and seedling survival rates by 51 percent. “What we found was the termite activity doubled during drought with them eating up to 40 percent more leaf litter,” Evans said. “The digested leaf litter was then returned to the soil as nutrients, with termites affecting the distribution of several soil nutrients, including nitrogen compounds, potassium and other metals.” In a time when climate change is putting increased pressure on current world ecosystems, and the results show how biological systems can interact to cope with external pressure. “The study provides further evidence about the importance of conserving important natural ecosystems by understanding their biology so we can protect them in a time of rapid environmental change,” Evans said.

determining the amount. All 17 regional wage boards last year adjusted minimum wage rates, with amounts ranging from PHP8.50 to PHP56 daily. Metro Manila workers in November received a PHP25 daily wage hike. However, despite the adjustments, current minimum wage levels remain inadequate to sustain workers and their families, he added. On the other hand, the Federation of Philippine Industries (FPI) voiced strong opposition to any initiative by organized labor to force another wage hike, whether by wage board order or legislated.

FPI chairman Jesus Arranza also explained that the financial health of its member companies vary, therefore their ability to absorb another wage hike also varies. “They are not homogeneous, they have different costs, different profit margins and different losses. So, how can we talk about imposing a uniform wage adjustment? It is simply not realistic,” he added. Arranza insisted that the only reasonable manner to approach the wage issue is by going the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) route. Workers should not depend on governmentimposed wage increases but instead should actively engage their employers in productive negotiations for more benefits, he added. (PNA)

Yet, as of January 1, Luwaran, the website of MILF Central Committee, said YES-Vote in these two cities was problematic. Considering the foregoing, should the cities of Cotabato and Isabela not VOTE YES? Are they, by their Moro-ness not constrained to be one with all other Muslim provinces and cities to pursue their right to self-determination to develop their rich Bangsamoro natural, human and cultural resources for themselves and other Bangsamoros? Or, will they still VOTE NO, unmindful of their Moro-ness knowing that they will not be kicked out of the House they were born in, denied of their kinship with those they were born with and deprived of their right to continue growing in and enjoying the bounty they were born to in Bangsamoro? patponcediaz@yahoo.com

of the local terrorist rebel groups, the recent bombings that transpired in Mindanao that collectively killed 16 people and injured 63 others in less than two months is a testament on how lethal and ingenious terrorist attacks have become,” he noted. The OSG also stressed that Mindanao remains to be the hotbed of the communist insurgency, citing that eight of the 14 active provinces in terms of communist rebel insurgency are on the island. Likewise, the SC said Congress has the sole power to extend martial law and suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, noting that the Constitution does not limit the period

for which martial law can be extended. The petitioners, led by Albay 1st District Rep. Edcel Lagman, the OSG said, is procedurally infirm for failing to implead as parties both houses of Congress, which issued the resolution. “In Lagman vs. Pimentel, the Supreme Court pronounced that the extension granted by the Congress upon the President’s request has become a joint action or a collective judgment between the Executive and the Legislature. Simply put, without congressional action, the proclamation of martial law and the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus would not have been extended in the first place. As such, the Congress is indisputably an indispensable party in this petition,” the OSG added. “(P)etitioners are legislators who actively participated and cast their votes as members of the Congress during the consideration, deliberation and voting on the resolution approving the request for extension of martial law and suspension of the writ of habeas corpus by the President. They cannot run to the court to defeat the wisdom of the majority of the members of Congress and ask for an injunction,” the OSG said. Citing again the SC’s previous rulings, the OSG said sufficient legal safeguards are in place against human rights abuses. The SC has set the oral arguments on the petition on January 22 and 23. President Rodrigo Duterte declared martial law in Mindanao on May 23, 2017 after Maute terrorists attacked Marawi City. Martial law in Mindanao has thrice been granted extension, with the most recent from January 1 to Dec. 31, 2019. (PNA)
