NPA mass surrenders due to internal corruption: AFP THE recent spate of New People’s Army (NPA) rebels returning to the fold of the law reflects the demoralization being experienced in their ranks due to internal corruption, the Armed

Forces of the Philippines said Thursday. AFP public affairs office chief Lt. Col. Emmanuel Garcia made this statement after 188 NPA members surrendered in

the first three weeks of January alone. “The AFP is expecting more NPAs to yield since there is demoralization in the NPA’s ranks as some leaders have

already returned to the folds of law brought by internal corruption,” Garcia stressed. He also stressed that the series of mass surrender is reflective of the combined ef-

forts of the local government units, communities, Philippine National Police and the AFP thru-community based dialogues. (With reports from Raymart T. Lolo, OJT/PNA)

Agrarian reform chief dismayed over arrest of DAR employee in Northmin By GERRY LEE GORIT, Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Department of Agrarian Reform secretar y John Castriciones has expressed his dismay over the arrest of a DAR-10 employee in this city who allegedly was caught using illegal

drugs inside his home on Wednesday. The arrest of lawyer Mario Jay Pielago, 53, DAR-10 chief legal officer, coincided with Castriciones’ visit to the agency’s regional office in Northern Mindanao on

Wednesday. The DAR chief said he was “a bit disappointed” when he was informed of Pielago’s arrest. He added Pielago’s alleged involvement in the illegal drugs has angered him. Castriciones also said

M A L AY B A L AY C i t y -Bukidnon tourism should go beyond the annual Kaamulan and ziplines in pursuit of tourism goals in 2018, according to stakeholders in their responses to “Bukidnon 2018: Public Outlook Series initiative.” Reynaldo Gil Lomarda, head of Greenminds, Inc., said it is time to focus more on natural and cultural tourism because it is the strength of the province. He said the province’s Kaamulan, a cultural festival, which he said is already commercialized, happens only once a year. The provincial government must promote tourism also beyond the festival because Bukidnon is known for its tribes, which should have tourist attractions before and after the festival. “If we talk about culture tourism in Bukidnon, only Kaamulan will emerge,” Lomarda added. Bukidnon local governments, he said, must push for a program focusing on “tourism that is unique to Bukidnon”. He lamented that tourists could only picture out pineapples and ziplines upon mention of Bukidnon. Bukidnon tourism officials could expand their promotion to include indigenous cultural sites and farm sites, Lomarda added. He said tourism could be used to provide livelihood to the indigenous peoples’ communities with some already started in some areas.

At a press conference on Wednesday, DAR 10 director Faisal Mambuay said that the computation process for the more than 200 families will last until April if plans don’t miscarry. From thence on, the compensation will start trickling in. Mambuay said that people who were not part of the original beneficiaries when the farmers won their case against Ayala Corporation before the Supreme Court (SC) took advantage of the situation and started listing themselves as among the claimants before DAR. He said this complicated the computation process because DAR had to sort out the real claimants from the false ones. “This usually occurs when there is a long land dispute here in our country. Certain people take advan-

Maute widow nabbed in Cotabato C By Ferdinandh B. Cabrera, MindaNews

OTABATO City-The police arrested an alleged widow of one of the top commanders of the Maute group during a raid here Tuesday afternoon. Chief Insp. Allan Uy, spokesperson of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (CIDG-ARMM), said Najiya Dilangalen KaronMaute was included in arrest order number 2 of Department of National Defense issued June 5 last year for violation of Article 134 (rebellion

or insurrection) of the Revised Penal Code. Initial investigation revealed she is the widow of one of the slain top commanders of MauteISIS, Mohammadkhayam Maute. She was arrested in her house at 23 Nayon Shariff, Barangay Rosary Heights 3, past 2 p.m. Tuesday by joint forces of the Police Regional Office-ARMM, Cotabato City police, and CIDG-ARMM operatives. Uy said the Maute widow is undergoing tactical interrogation as to her role in the terror group. Families and lawyers

of the arrested Maute visited her but kept mum. The Maute brothers of Lanao del Sur, together with the Abu Sayyaf group and some foreign terrorists, launched the Marawi siege May 23 last year supposedly in their aim to install a regional Islamic caliphate in Asia. The urban war lasted six months and claimed more than a thousand lives from the rebels, government troops, and civilians. The military wiped out most of those involved in the siege, including their leaders. (Ferdinandh Cabrera / MindaNews)

PH’s new industrial policy contributes SouthCot to expand anti-poverty program to economic growth—PIDS study The government’s shift to a new industrial policy has contributed to the continuous economic growth of the country, according to a study published by state think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS). Authors Maureen Ane R o s el l on and Erli nd a Medalla, PIDS supervising research specialist and senior research fellow, respectively, said Philippines has maintained its 6-7 percent growth rate from 2012 to 2016, making it one of the fastest growing economies in Asia and in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Plus Three composed of China, Japan, and South Korea. The authors said this is consistent with the 2017 Global Competitiveness Report, which indicates the Philippines’ good performance in several areas such as macroeconomic environment, inflation management, government debt and budget balance, soundness of banks, regulation of securities exchanges, as well as on primary and higher education. Based on the report, the country ranks 56th out of 137 economies all over the world.

The authors also observed growth in the areas of cash remittances (mostly from the United States), employment (with services sector having the most number of workers employed), and labor productivity (with the industry sector registering the highest). Furthermore, the Asian Development Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank have all projected the Philippines’ continued robust growth from 2017 to 2019. “While many factors contributed to these positive developments (including strong macroeconomic fundamentals), one cannot discount the contribution of the New Industrial Policy (NIP) to the recent success of the Philippines,” the authors noted. Evolution The NIP can be traced back to the Manufacturing Resurgence Program—a program that started in 2014 to “rebuild the existing capacity of industries, strengthen new ones, and maintain the competitiveness of industries with comparative advantage”. The MRP looked at the possible contribution of agriculturebased manufacturing indus-

tries to the manufacturing sector. Seeing the need to integrate industry and manufacturing with agriculture and services, the government developed the Comprehensive National Industrial Strategy (CNIS), which aimed to address issues on supply chain gaps, infrastructure, logistics, governance, and regulations cutting across the agriculture, manufacturing, and services industries. Last year, the government upgraded the CNIS to the Innovation-led Industrial Strategy (i3s) to underscore the importance of innovation in view of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), but retaining the former’s core framework. “The fourth industrial revolution will pose new challenges and opportunities. In order to take part and survive in this major shift, it is critical for the Philippines to build an innovative ecosystem,” the authors explained. Furthermore, the authors underscored the importance of “developing human capital with skills in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and employing innovation-led

technologies to improve productivity”. Citing Trade and Industry Secretary Ramon Lopez, the authors pointed out that entrepreneurship, which is part of the i3s framework, will be helpful in producing a breed of Filipino entrepreneurs that will espouse “ideabased, demand-oriented, and research-driven innovation”. To make priority industries under the i3s competitive and productive, the authors suggested addressing “supply chain gaps, human resource development and skills training, small and micro enterprise development, innovation and upgrading, intense investment promotion, and addressing horizontal issues (e.g., infrastructure, logistics, regulatory processes)”. With manufacturing growth surpassing the services sector’s growth in the past three years, the authors said this is a “testament to the impact of the new industrial policy on the economy, especially the manufacturing sector”, and urged the government to continue implementing the strategic actions in the new industrial policy.

GENERAL Santos City-The provincial government of South Cotabato is set to expand its flagship anti-poverty convergence program to two more poor communities in the area. Alfredo Galino, provincial convergence officer, said Wednesday preparations are underway for the implementation of the initiative in Sitio Datal Ligaw, Barangay Tasiman and Sitio Blit, Barangay Ned in Lake Sebu town. “These two sitios are geographically isolated, making government services less accessible to residents,” he said in a statement. Dubbed Convergence Program for Poverty Reduction, the initiative mainly seeks to empower and transform poor communities into productive areas through the provision of basic services and development projects. It was initially launched by the local government in September last year in Sitio Traan Leteng, Barangay Kematu in Tboli town. Galino said South Cotabato Gov. Daisy AvanceFuentes earlier endorsed the replication of the program’s good practices in the two remote sitios of Lake Sebu.

He said the Provincial Planning and Development Office is set to gather baseline data and conduct community scanning in preparation for its rollout. In Sitio Traan Leteng, the provincial government had enlisted the support of some 20 government agencies and non-government organizations for the program’s implementation. The participating entities initially pledged to pour in a combined P1 million for the implementation of convergence programs and projects in the area in the next three years. These included the improvement of the sitio’s roads; implementation of capability and capacity training for livelihood, health, financial literacy and community empowerment; provision of arm chairs and other construction materials for its school; conduct of feeding programs; and, installation of additional sanitary toilets. “We are very happy that we are doing good in Sitio Traan Leteng. Not perfect but the help is felt by the people,” Galino said. He cited the ongoing construction of a new classroom building in the area See program, page 11

Cinemagis celebrates one decade as springboard for NorMin filmmakers, talents Contributed by Angelo Lorenzo

CELEBRATING A DECADE. Cinemagis 2018 filmmakers pose with Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts director Hobart Savior (sixth from left) onstage after receiving their tokens and giving their gifts that symbolize their films. supplied photo

AGAYAN de Oro City--One decade of showcasing the filmmaking talents and local stories of Northern Mindanao — Cinemagis Digital Short Film Festival celebrated its 10th year on Wednesday, January 24, at the Xavier University Little Theater. “As Cinemagis grows and reaches one decade as an avenue and a platform for the filmmaking potentials of the region, it endlessly supports filmmakers and their pursuit,” Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts (XCCA) and festival director Hobart Savior said in his speech at the ceremony. He noted that the crafts of filmmakers who participate in Cinemagis represent Northern Mindanao’s stories and lore. Cinemagis is the “region’s primary film festival.” Since its conception in 2009, Cinemagis has been supporting aspiring and professional filmmakers —

most of whom had earned national recognition by pursuing their passion in film. This year, some familiar faces participated again, but with new voices resonating in their films. Julienne Ilagan, whose film, “Balut, Penoy, Asin,” bagged last year’s Best Short Film in the Senior category, now bets on her most recent film, “Sikad,” which is among the roster. On the other hand, Edmund Telmo, who was last year’s Best Actor for his role in Cloyd Winstanley’s “Libra” in the Senior Category, returns with his directorial stint in “Redempsyon” in the same category. However, this is not the first time that Telmo had participated in the festival. “I have been joining Cinemagis for three years now,” Telmo said. “Stories drive me to pursue filmmaking. It is a powerful platform [on which] to tell the truth.” With two competing

categories, entries have been divided based on the background of their directors. Two non-competing categories showcase fulllength films and a series of shorts. Nominated films for each category were announced during the program by Savior and Reena Dunque (director of “Ayo-Ayo”) which were then succeeded by the special screening of Arnel Barbarona’s “Tu Pug Imatuy (The Right to Kill).” Barbarona’s film tells the tale of a Lumad family abused and harassed by the military when the latter deployed troops to hunt a rebel group in hiding. “We recognize the actors and the production crew as a film’s success will not be accomplished without our collaboration,” Barbarona declared. Films will be screened in the XU Little Theater and SM City Cagayan de Oro Cinema 1 from January 25 to 27. The awarding

ceremony will take place at the mall’s event center this Saturday. A decade of tradition In one segment of the opening ceremony, mahogany saplings were handed to the filmmakers as tokens, one of the perpetual traditions of the festival. The filmmakers also gave gifts that symbolize their films to the festival. “We write our stories,” John Reyn Laure, director of “Tuldok Kuwit” which is one of this year’s entries in the Student Category, stated as he handed a paper and a pen. Leo Marie Fabre, director of “Pa Dyak,” also in the same category, offered a pair of slippers as her gift. As her film tackles about a father’s ordeal to work hard to earn and provide for his daughter’s wishes, Fabre emphasized the toil that parents have to go through for their children. As this year’s entries evoke messages based on the filmmakers’ voices, styles, and narratives, Xavier Ateneo president Fr Roberto C Yap SJ encouraged the participants to pursue their passion without compromising their capability of

doing good in their work and to others. “Caring for the whole person includes touching hearts and spirits through film,” Yap said in his message. “May Cinemagis X truly explore how film can provide cura personalis (care for the person), especially to those most in need during times of crisis,” he said.

Emerging opportunities?

Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A world of optimism and hope. A ‘can do spirit’ when things are tough. --Richard M. DeVos FOR the nth time, Mindanaoans have been crying out loud for Imperial Manila to heed the call of economic equity (read: equal distribution of wealth) to regional growth centers like Cagayan de Oro and the rest of the island’s emerging key cities. But with an iota of doubt, Mindanao’s clarion call for economic prosperity may turn out doomed at the very start. Not until Imperial Manila’s superiority complex is squashed, the so-called emerging opportunities for Mindanao may come, but

in trickles, and may be in measly drops of the manna from heaven, or just a slice of the country’s economic pie. Not until the national government shall be able to take cognition of its dismal failure to spread the gospel of growth with equity, Mindanao shall always be in the map of the forgotten and the abandoned. From developing the vast fertile lands to improving infrastructure facilities to providing jobs to the jobless, to uplifting health and education sectors, name it, these are what Mindanaoans, since time immemorial have been clamoring to high heavens to come down on them, sooner, not later. Mindanaoans like me (I was born and raised in

M’lang, North Cotabato, Secretary Manny Pinol’s turf) hasn’t seen real progress per se. What we still have is a land of wars and conflict. A land being used as dumping site of scalawags of men in uniform, a land badly beaten by corrupt and abusive national government. This island being rich in natural resources makes the economy of Imperial Manila richer and in shape, thanks but no thanks to Mindanao’s fat contribution to the national coffer. While Mindanao holds an incredible wealth to brag about, yet it continues to spawn dark moments of truth. Mindanao is always beset with news about clan wars, religious overtones, ter-

Ruffy Magbanua

rorism, kidnappings by the dreaded abu sayyaf, piracy, political dynasties, corruption, poverty, regular clashes and killings are some of the worst scenes elsewhere in the island. Along with these grim scenarios, the island stalks with hunger. Mindanao has the highest poverty incidence of 23 percent. But despite the corruption, threat, killings, and poverty Mindanaoans face, they remain to be strong people as it were. Sadly, all we hear for now are endless debates on Federalism, political alignments, fast-tracking See hotline, page 10

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will…” (Romans 12:2, the Holy Bible). -ooo M A B U H A Y, L T O ESPANA AGENCY: Indeed it is true that any ambition or desire that a person may dream of can be achieved at the appointed time, provided he remains true to the fulfillment thereof. Because of this, I salute the Land Transportation Office (LTO), most especially

its Espana, Manila agency, because it managed to fulfill its objective of issuing drivers’ licenses speedily and efficiently. I personally know this because I experienced this speedy and efficient style of service within a period of three years. In 2015, I obtained a renewal of my driver’s license which expired in that year. Because I often passed by Espana, Manila, it was at the LTO’s agency along Espana that I sought the renewal. In 10 minutes flat, in 2015, I got my new driver’s license almost without any effort. This 2018, after the license I obtained in 2015

expired again, I went back to the LTO Espana agency. Well, did you know that, without any hassle at all, without me signing any paper, and paying something less than a thousand pesos including the penalty for late renewal, I got another license, pronto, which is even valid for five years. Indeed, I commend LTO, especially its LTO Espana, Manila agency for this good job.

Commentary

Balay Mindanao Statement on the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) AS peace advocates and Mindanawons, we, the Balay Mindanaw Group of NGOs, firmly support the call for the immediate passage of a Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) that is consistent with all peace agreements signed by both the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). Balay Mindanaw appreciates the efforts of all peace negotiators, facilitators, civil society organizations and communities who for several decades toiled hard to reach crucial agreements despite the numerous challenges along the way.

We highlight the contributions and sacrifices of the Bangsamoro people in putting life in these agreements, which is essential in making the peace mechanisms and infrastructures functional. Further, we express our faith in the capacity of the Bangsamoro people to take action on their aspirations and build a better future for the next generations. Balay Mindanaw agrees with President Rodrigo Duterte when he said that in order for the armed conflict to be completely addressed, the historical injustices against the Bangsamoro people must be corrected. It must be done with no

preconditions and there is no other better time to do it but now. The same message should also be carried as the core rationale and guide for Congress, both the House of Representatives and Senate, in performing the legislation process for BBL. Balay Mindanaw is optimistic that the passage of BBL and the full implementation of the signed agreements would facilitate the creation of better government systems and stable judicial processes. It would also address issues on inequity and insufficient social services. If actualized, these would

help the government, Moro fronts and Bangsamoro leaders gain the complete trust and support of the people. It will be a homeland and system owned by the people. It will be a realization of a dream that will be difficult for war hawks and violent extremists to disparage and destroy. However, what are pivotal as of the moment are the actual legislation process and the content of the actual law. Will it genuinely represent and satisfy the needs and aspirations of the Bangsamoro people? Will it be inclusive enough that no stakeholders will be left See bbl, page 10

Cagayan de Oro extends biz permit renewal to January 31 CAGAYAN de Oro City-The city government now extends the deadline for the business permit renewal from January 21 to January 31, 2018 in Cagayan de Oro. The said extension was approved by the city council after passing the Ordinance No. 2018-6 in their regular session on January 22. The council’s action is in line with the request of Mayor Oscar Moreno along with the recommendation of City Treasurer Ramon Antonio Mendoza and Councilor George Goking, chair on committee on ways and means to provide ample

time to taxpayers to do their obligations. With this, the 25 percent surcharge and two percent monthly penalty has also been lifted since the deadline was moved to January 31. The occurrence of Severe Tropical Storm Vinta last December is the reason for the extension of deadline since a lot of businesses in the city were greatly affected by the calamity. Thus, the city treasurer urges the entrepreneurs in the city to take advantage of the extension and refrain from paying penalties once they fail to comply on the deadline.(IAF/RTP/PIA10)

PH soon becomes gastronomy hub in Asia

By Joyce Ann L. Rocamora

ANILA -- With t h e up c om ing Madrid Fusion Manila (MFM) this April, Tourism Secretary Wanda Teo said the Philippines was "making headway" in establishing itself as a center of gastronomy in the region. During the ongoing Madrid Fusion (MF) at the Palacio del Congreso, the agency invited participants to the upcoming MFMs fourth edition on April 19 to 21 at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City. In partnership with Foro de Debate, owner of the MF franchise, the MFM 2018 with the theme “Innovating Tradition,” hopes to sustain higher awareness and attendance to the much-awaited Philippine culinary event which banners the country’s competitiveness as a gastronomical destination

in the region. In a statement read by MFM 2018 project director Pamela Samaniego, Teo said the MFM has effectively bound government agencies, private sector, media, academe, and local communities together. "We are rallying behind one common goal of establishing the Philippines as a center of gastronomy on this part of the world. We are making great headway. And for this, we are thankful to all of you,” she said. For her part, Samaniego shared that three years ago when the country was just starting with the project, the world barely knew about the cuisine and ingredients the Philippines had to offer. "Today, food forecasts name Philippine cuisine as the next big food trend," she said.

Department of Energ y (DOE) Secretary Alfonso Cusi has called for the widening of the energy base with efficient and reliable power sources . Cusi said the strategy can help nations secure their energy needs while addressing the challenges of climate change and energy affordability. “We have a diversified energy mix, with nearly 24 percent of our power being sourced from renewable sources. And this diversified mix has proven to be competitive and sustainable,” he said. Achieving security and sustainability requires a

three-pronged approach driven by three I’s: incentives, investments and innovation, according to Cusi. “Governments must be willing to provide the necessary support for players who want to bring fresh energy solutions and thus, make electricity rates affordable to consumers,” he said. “All players must be willing to invest in new technologies that not only increase reliability, but reduce emissions. Innovation is the key driver that we need in order to achieve security and sustainability. Governments must develop a regulatory environment that supports our innova-

DOE to widen energy base tors and researchers.” With the three I’s approach, Cusi said, Asia can produce its own visionary problem solvers. “We must be resilient and stay the course,” he said. Meanwhile, the energy chief shared the country’s solution to the hurdles faced by energy investors in Asia in the form of red tape and long waiting times. As a solution, President Rodrigo Duterte signed Executive Order (EO) 30 that classifies energy projects amounting to at least USD70 million as projects of national significance, said Cusi.

EO 30 also streamlines the permitting process of all government agencies under the Energy Investment Coordinating Council (EICC). Under the order, concerned government agencies must act on a proposal within 30 days. Otherwise, the proposal is deemed approved. “Speed is of the essence here and we are determined to see that we pull in the best investments and build our projects on time to deliver on our domestic plan,” Cusi said. “But it is not just enough to focus internally. It is also See widen, page 9

ASEAN set to conclude RCEP talks this year The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is committed to concluding talks on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) this year, according to ASEAN Secretary-General Datuk Lim Jock Hoi. Hoi said the leaders of the regional bloc had mandated the RCEP talks' conclusion this year. The RCEP is a free trade deal involving 10 members of the ASEAN and six of the group's existing free trade partners - Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand. "ASEAN reiterates its full commitment and priority to

bringing RCEP negotiations to a conclusion this year," Lim told an ASEAN-India business conference here on Tuesday. The RCEP talks started in 2012 and would create a free trade area covering 3.5 billion people when concluded. Lim said India is ASEAN's sixth largest trading partner and their trade would receive a significant boost from the RCEP. Reducing tariffs is one of the key areas of the proposed pact. "The ongoing negotiations of RCEP stand at the center of ASEAN external See RCEP, page 9

Breach of anti-illegal drug rule preludes relief of police chiefs D AVAO CITY -- One error or a violation of the anti-drug operational procedure by one police precinct will cause the relief of the police station chief. When two precincts committed errors, it will cause the relief of the Chief of Police while the relief of two police provincial or city directors will cause the head of the regional director.

This is now the tough challenge for the Philippine National Police (PNP) to follow the police operational procedure detailed in the supplemental guidelines for the conduct of operations against illegal drugs or the Oplan Double Barrel. “We have our drug enforcement unit in a precinct so when something happens they will be relieved…not just wrong but mali ang (mistake) procedure, the precinct commander will be relieved, two precinct commanders, the chief of police will be relieved and that goes to cops, PDs (provincial directors) and RD (regional directors),” said PNP Deputy Director General for Operations Camilo Pancratius Cascolan during the AFP-PNP press corps weekly forum at the Royal

Mandaya Hotel Wednesday. Cascolan stressed that in other areas where there were no precincts the chief of police would be the sole accountable person and responsible. “This is for us to monitor, supervise and give guidance to the DEU (Drug Enforcement Unit) members,” he added. The new guidelines signed by PNP Chief Ronald dela Rosa on January 19, detailed the system on drug operation that included the presence of a prosecutor for on-site inquest proceedings for the immediate filing of the case. This would be done after each operation, said Cascolan, who was in Davao City for the coordination meetings and preparations for the launch of the simul-

New PCUP execs seek audit of past operation DAVAO CITY -- The newlyappointed commissioners of Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP) have sought for a special audit of the agency’s past operation before their assumption to office. PCUP Commissioners Norman Baloro and Randy Halasan have agreed to ask for a special audit because they claim it is hard to assume the position without the full grasp of the past operations. “The problem of the past administration might be slapped on us,” Baloro said, adding he already discussed it with Halasan. Baloro stressed he wants to know about the financial status of the office before starting their work. Last December, President Rodrigo Duterte fired the commissioners of PCUP including Chairperson Terry Ridon, due to “unnecessary junkets.” Baloro and Halasan have taken their oaths of office on Monday before Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr.

PCUP is one of the 12 agencies under Evasco. Upon his assumption, Baloro wants to focus on land acquisition for relocation of informal settlers in the urban areas. “I think the problem of PCUP is the procurement of lands, if it was legitimately done? If it went through the right process and have an appropriate price,” he said. Baloro said it is important to relocate the informal settlers far from the danger zones in the urban areas because it is part of the PCUPs mandate to provide decent homes for these people. He also wants ‘just and humane’ demolition and basic human rights observed. “Conflict management during demolition should be applied and we want to safeguard the urban poor,” he said. Baloro is also eyeing the crafting of programs for the livelihood of the urban poor but anchored on the PCUP mandate. PNA

taneous exercises dubbed Task Group Southern Storm. Cascolan said, “Everything should be done systematically.” He said the guidelines pointed out accountability and responsibility of the police chiefs especially over the work of the DEU. He said all unit leaders must cover and supervise the drug operations.

Cascolan said the chiefs of police would be administratively and suspended immediately for a violation of the operational procedure in anti-drugs operation. DEU is composed of eight police officers with PO2 as a lowest rank member. Each police precinct has DEU so with city, municipality, provincial and regional police offices. The

anti-drug operations are still in close coordination with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA). DEU members have been trained, have undergone reorientation and seminars to ensure the anti-illegal drug operation is done accordingly. They were briefed on the implementation of RA 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous

Drugs Act of 2002), the rule of law and police operational procedures regarding arrest and conduct of the operation. Cascolan said no PO1 would become members of the DEU. He said all members of the DEU were carefully selected and no derogatory records, including records See Breach, page 10

PUCP chief to hear LGBT community’s rants, raves DAVAO CITY -- The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community will have its voice in the Philippine Commission on the Urban Poor (PCUP) after its Davao representative is appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte as one of the agency’s new commissioners. Norman Baloro, district coordinator under Davao City Social Service and Development Office (CSSDO), said he is overwhelmed of the chance to work with the President “My feeling now is, I am proud because the only thing that I wished for myself is to work right and work with accountability,”

he said during the I-Speak Forum at City Hall Thursday. He said he could not believe that from being a sweepstakes ticket vendor at San Pedro Cathedral, he will be now be a public official who will serve the people at the national level. The 34-year-old Baloro finished his degree on Bachelor Science in Social Work at the University of Mindanao. He worked for almost 15 years at CSSDO and he started his career as social worker in 2004. Baloro was awarded as the Most Outstanding District head of CSSDO in 2014. His district was also awarded as the Most

Performing District for being efficient in delivering services to its constituents from 2014 to 2016. “My dream really is to be the next department head of CSSDO that is why I really need to work hard to prove that I am worth it but God gave me a big opportunity that I will be working on the national level,” Baloro told reporters. Baloro admitted he did not believe it at first because he has not talked with the President nor received any appointment papers yet. “Akala ko nga fake news and until now, hindi pa nagsync in sa akin (I thought it was fake news and until it does not sync into my

mind),” he said. “I just heard it on news. I don’t even open my FB (Facebook) account but my friends congratulated me,” Baloro added. But Baloro is thankful with the trust given to him by President Duterte since he was mayor of the city. He recalled that President Duterte made his pronouncement that he wants a representative from LGBT community as one of the commissioners of PCUP during their party on December 17. “The LGBT coalition in Davao city nominated me and then when Presidential Management Staff called See Rants, page 10

School Administration By DEXTER I. PALAO Administrative Officer II DepEd Misamis Occidental Division

SCHOOL administration officers oversee the daily operations of schools, colleges, universities, daycare centers and preschools. A school administrator’s specific responsibilities differ between organizations but often these administrators are an important link between students and local communities. School administration officers advocate for the students within their communities and set goals and objectives to further childrens’ education. Although most school administrators previously work in educational organizations, some work in businesses, museums and community organizations where they manage educational programs. School administrators who work in elementary and high schools are also known as principals. They usually have masters or doctoral degrees in edu-

cational leadership or administration. Public and private school administration professionals supervise teachers, counselors, coaches, librarians and support staff. School administrators could also be responsible for hiring and evaluating teachers, setting goals and objectives, communicating with parents, students and community members and preparing budgets. On the other hand, many college or university administrators started their careers as professors so it follows that most have masters or doctoral degrees. These professionals oversee departments, both educational and recreational, or they help the president of the university manage the entire campus. The responsibilities of school administrators vary depending on the size of the colleges or universities and the number of enrolled students.

Seek God Without Any Hesitation

Biblical reflection

I drawn thee: Take note, James 2:13”for he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiced against judgment. This is my conviction that all people will be saved at the end if they will come back to God without hesitation. God is never tired in seeking you to be with Him eternally. Jesus

was in the place where the sinners approached him and it was not an accident but God’s ways to meet the sinners. Jesus made the first move to meet the sickly people in all aspects. Jesus made the house of the Pharisee as the avenue to let this woman came to him for repentance. This woman anointed Jesus with oil as a symbol of Jesus

importance to her life. The oil she used was expensive but it was nothing for this woman because she gave it to Jesus. Give something to God even how expensive it is for you. The value of the thing that you give is a reflection of the disposition of your heart. The most precious thing that you can offer to God is your own life.

Cascolan clarified that Tokhang (Toktok Hangyo or Knock and Plea) was not an operation but it was a Police Community Relations (PCR) activity. Initially, Cascolan said the draft Tokhang guidelines also detailed the conduct of the activity. For example, if a person is on the list it will be subjected to evaluation by city, municipality, province, region police offices, and the barangay anti-drug

abuse councils. From the barangay the list goes back to the region. Given this, Cascolan said, “PNP is going high. We will be able put it (Oplan Double Barrel and Tokhang) in proper perspective.” PNA

Tourism... from page 1

But Lomarda warned that government must prevent exploitation of the IP communities. He said government must support IP communities but not to the extent of exposing them to exploitation as what has happened in other areas. He cited as example tourist sites in Luzon where tourists just take pictures of tribal folks wearing their attires. “The IP communities must be part of those who decide on what will be featured and promoted,” Lomarda said. He added that even during Kaamulan, the tribal sports and other events are scheduled on weekdays with few spectators. He said the same events could also be organized outside of the Kaamulan to spread out events in partnership with tour operators. Lomarda’s Greenminds, Inc. runs Umanika Farms, an organic farming site in Malaybalay City that models IP traditional and organic farming. He said farm tourism is also effective in educating the public about farming to help ensure food security. Maite Abellanosa, chair of the tourism sector of the Bukidnon Kaamulan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc., said there has been improvement in tourism in the province. But she agreed that more should be done to promote agricultural and cultural tourism in the province, focusing on these two as its niche. “This is what we have, let’s show it to the world,” she said, adding that farm and cultural tourism can be helpful in educating the visitors about the life of farmers and the IP communities. Abellanosa said the government should make tourism sites more accessible with roads. She added there should be support also to the private sector in government accreditation like for the Department of Tourism and accessing incentives such as those offered by the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA). Abellanosa said there should be destinations like a cultural village in Malaybalay, where visitors could learn about the IP way of life without the need to disrupt them in their villages. She added another addon could be a youth center, where young people could go for sports and amusements to ensure healthy lifestyle. “Right now, Malaybalay youth are known to be heavy liquor drinkers, for example,” she added. Rashia Mae Deva Paano, a student leader at the Bukidnon State University, said however that many of those young people seen drinking in local bars are boarders who are from out-

side the city. Annie Emata, department chair of BukSU’s Hospitality Management Department, said tourism stakeholders should consider balancing social, environment and economic objectives to uphold sustainable development in the province. “That the Bukidnon culture should also be preserved and be promoted to the community, most especially outside Northern Mindanao since cultural tourism is the niche product of Bukidnon,” she added. Emata said they also aspire for the government, private sector and the academe to work closely to provide learning experiences to students. BukSU has planned to open its own hotel earlier this year to cater to the needs of its students and personnel, which is also open for guests of Bukidnon. Reuel Gallo, who runs a restaurant in Malaybalay and founder of the Bukidnon Visitors’ Guide, said improvement in the road networks and the operation of the Don Carlos airport would help attract more visitors. Government agencies such as DOT, TIEZA, the Department of Public Works and Highways and related offices, he added, must coordinate and work together for Bukidnon to be one of the top destinations in the country. He said he hopes “every municipality and city in the province will be able to explore, identify and develop a product and tourist attraction”. Earl Bolivar, a banker, photographer and author of the award-winning travel blog “Suroy Pilipinas,” said local government units must recognize and promote lesser known destinations. He said the LGUs should initiate identification and promotion of these sites in their areas. But he said there is a need for public-private partnership in developing the sites’ accessibility and the amenities. “It would be better if they develop the sites without destroying the natural environment of the sites,” Bolivar added. He also sought to encourage tourists to be more environment-friendly, especially those who are fond of mountain climbing. Bolivar said there should be a Bukidnon museum to showcase culture and traditions. BukSU runs an ethnocultural museum, which was recently moved to a bigger space in its Bukidnon Studies Center building. Jose Benito Ronolo, a community development educator at BukSU, said local government units’ tourism efforts should push helping IP talents such as the development of music albums of IP artists and be involved in development of tourist spots. He said they should get involved in IP researches because culture

Friday, January 26, 2018 evolves and “we lack books created by our own.” Raiza Maicah A. Layos, Valencia City’s tourism officer, said it counts to have tourism development and promotion – improvement of tourist attractions and the community as a whole. She said there are both man-made and natural attractions in Bukidnon but generally what hampers tourism is the notion that “Mindanao is not safe” and that infrastructure is poor. The tourism officers of the Province of Bukidnon and the City of Malaybalay agreed to contribute to “Bukidnon 2018: Public Outlook” but were unable to provide information as of noon of January 24. Layos said accessibility is crucial along with proximity to gateways like airports, ports and terminals. She said tourists also check on amenities like rest areas, food shops, toilets, among others. She said other offerings such as boating, zipline, playground for kids, mini zoo, socio and cultural events also count. Layos said tourists will check readiness of the hospitality sector to provide lodging, food and other services like shops. “With all these present, the next thing is how to market or promote these attractions,” she added. She said for Valencia City, they still need to intensify development and promotion of their tourist spots and create a good plan so that the city and the community will benefit from tourism. William Kopp, who runs Eiffel Kubo, a Malaybalaybased French restaurant serving native dishes, said they envision local tourism as an opportunity to experience the most meaningful culture of Bukidnon. “By means of meeting and briefly sharing the natives’ way of living, thinking, worshipping, cultivating and creating, tourists shall be transformed, hence become advocates of their cause for harmony and peace,” he added.

tage by listing themselves as claimants when they have not toiled the land in fact,” Mambuay said. Ayala Corporation already owned the land occupied by 403 farming families in the 1990s in barangay Tubajon, Laguindingan

town when the national government informed the company that they will be using the property and convert it as an airport. The conglomerate promptly donated the 400-hectare property to the national government, paying the farmers disturbance compensation in the amount of P100,000 each. Only around 200 farmers agreed with the amount then. The rest challenged the Ayala computation and went to court. The litigation eventually landed before the Supreme Court recently, with the farmers winning the case. After the final decision was handed out, the farmers picketed outside the DAR 10 office last October demanding the speedy release of the disturbance compensation. This prompted Mambuay to form a special task force to oversee the computation of compensation to each individual beneficiary which varies depending on the size of land he or she toiled prior to the airport construction. On Monday, Gov. Yevgeny Vincente Emano reported that the farmers will finally receive their disturbance compensation but didn’t give a specific timeframe. On Wednesday, Mambuay personally assured his boss, Agrarian Reform Secretary John Castriciones, that the farmers will finally be paid in the second quarter of this year.

ties believed as methamphetamine hydrochloride or “shabu.” Seized during the raid inside the lawyer’s residence in Barangay Kauswagan, this city, were three medium-size sachets of the alleged shabu worth P75,000 and various drug paraphernalia. PDEA-10 said they had been monitoring Pielago’s movements as they were aware of his alleged involvement in illegal drugs. In an interview, PDEA-10 agent Ben Calibre said that based on their surveillance and information provided by tipsters, the suspect is both a drug pusher and user. Calibre said in conducting the raid they had to secure a search warrant from a judge in Gingoog City for fear that their planned operation might be leaked and compromised. For his part, Pielago has denied he is a drug user although he admitted that he used to sniff shabu in the past. He also denied the confiscated sachets were his. He said he even texted a friend asking where he can buy shabu. In his post on social media, PDEA-10 regional director Wilkins Villanueva considered Pielago’s arrest as an “opening salvo” since he was reassigned to the region a few days ago. Villanueva used to serve as the PDEA-10 regional

director before he was transferred to the Bureau of Customs as head of the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service a few months back.

that is expected to accommodate students in the next school year. The farm animals like goats and pigs given last year to some local residents have already “doubled up,” he said. “With these good results, we are now more determined to replicate the program in other sitios,” Galino said. He added that the program would continue to expand “one sitio at a time” as a strategy to ensure that no sitio in the province will be left behind in terms of services and development opportunities.
