Oro to build P60 million worth of parking building

CL AVER , Sur igao del Norte—Farmers in this rich mining town have turned their laterite-laden abandoned rice fields into a model organic rice farm.

The farmers living in the village of Urbiztundo which is situated at the foot of the infamous “red mountain” were encouraged to turn at least 10 hectares deserted farm lands into organic rice fields through the “Kapalayapaan peace building

project of the Philippine Army’s 36th Infantry Battalion (36th IB).

“Red mountain” refers to the mountain ranges which has large nickel ore deposits that stretches the coastal towns of Claver towards Carrascal town in neighboring Surigao del Sur province, now considered the mining capital of the country.

CAGAYAN de Oro City--To relieve vehicle congestion in downtown Caagayan de Oro, the city government will build a four-storey parking building in Divisoria, the city’s old center.

And to inject discipline among motorists, Cagayan de Oro traffic czar Nonito Oclarit said that Divisoria will be stripped of parked vehicles and the vehicle

drivers-cum-owners would need to walk if they shop in the six-block Divisoria which stretches from Corrales to the east down to Burgos to the south.

Mining firms paying taxes to NPA rebs face closure

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has ordered Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu to cancel the permits of mining companies that are paying “revolutionary taxes” to the New People’s Army (NPA).

“Pero ‘pag nahuli ko kayo (but if I find out), I will give you hell of a time,” Duterte said upon arrival from a two-day visit in India early Saturday at the Davao International Airport.

Duterte said the money collected by the NPA from these companies is used to fund the operations of an organization that seeks to destroy the country.

The President said he does not take as an excuse the alleged lack of security since the companies can hire jobless people as secuSee closure, page 11

36 students suffer head, stomach pain K I D A PAWA N C i t y - At least 36 high school students from a public school in North Cotabato complained of head and stomach ache after they swallowed ferrous sulfate or iron supplements the health staff gave them on Friday, an official from the Cotabato schools division of the Department of Education (DepEd) said.

Cotabato schools division superintendent Omar Obas said the students from the Pigcawayan National High School in Pigcawayan town were rushed to a nearby rural hospital for treatment.

A doctor at the hospital told Obas their students were just suffering from Buildings lay in ruins after the five-month battle to retake Marawi City from ISIS-inspired terrorists. Photo taken a ‘mass hysteria’ brought Tuesday (24 October 2017). mindanews photo by manman dejeto about by negative reports about the Dengvaxia vaccine.

150 transitional shelters now occupied by Marawi bakwits; 250 more by Jan. 30

A

HUNDRED and fifty transitional shelters in Barangay Sagonsongan, Marawi City, are now occupied by residents displaced by the five-month siege, and 250 more units will be available by January 30, the chair of the Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) said.

The TFBM was supposed to have turned over 500 units on December 27 but the units could not be occupied because electricity and water connections were not available by then.

TFBM chair and Housing Secretary Eduardo del Rosario told a press briefing in Malacanang on Friday that he ordered the delay of transfer of the “bakwits” (evacuees or internally displaced persons) for three weeks to ensure the houses have electrical and water connections.

“Last January 20 nagsimula na yung pagpasok

ng initial 150 (families) dahil doon sa bahay may kuryente at may tubig na.

Then, additional 250 will come in this coming January 30, sa Tuesday,” he said.

Del Rosario said a total of 551 temporary shelters were completed as of December 27 and 500 units were to be turned over to recipients validated by the local government units but he did not allow their transfer until the houses have electricity and water.

After January 30, del Rosario said, 200 units will be given “every ten days thereafter” to the beneficiaries

validated by the barangay and city governments.

A total of 1,100 temporary shelters will initially be constructed for Marawi residents in the former “Ground Zero” or what is now referred to as MAA or ‘main affected area.”

The MAA comprises 250 hectares and was occupied by 11,000 families before the five-month clashes between government forces and the ISIS-inspired Maute Group, Abu Sayyaf and its allies started on May 23, 2017.

Del Rosario told MindaNews a total of 6,400 transitional shelters and 3,300 permanent shelters will be built. He said 1,100 of these transitional shelters will be completed by March 1.

On the permanent housing units, del Rosario said they are still “waiting for availablility of lots to be provided by the local gov-

ernment unit.”

He told reporters in Malacanang that there are three criteria that Marawi ‘bakwits’ must meet to avail of the housing projects: first, the “bakwit’ must have resided in the 24 barangays within the former “Ground Zero;” second, their houses were burned or destroyed; and third, they are poor.

If a potential beneficiary meets all three requirements, the TFBM added another consideration: that 70% of the beneficiaries will come from evacuation centers and 30% from the home-based evacuees.

Del Rosario noted that majority of those who lived in the former “Ground Zero” are Meranaw businessmen who have business interests in Marawi City, in Greenhills, Baguio or even Cebu.

“Siyempre yun naman ay hindi sila nangangailangan See shelters, page 11

learned of her situation, some of them also made the same complaint. So, there was a mass hysteria. Understandably, these students knew about what happened with Dengvaxia vaccine,” said Obas.

The official stressed that parents and guardians of these students need not worry as iron supplements are different from Dengvaxia vaccine distributed in different parts of Luzon in 2017.

Obas was told the students returned home after their classes ‘healthy, safe, and sound.’

Elementary and high school students from different towns in North Cotabato were given free ferrous sulfate on Friday.

The provincial DepEd official clarified that health staff from the Department of Health (DoH) in the province administered the distribution of the food supplements to different schools. (Malu Cadelina Manar / MindaNews)

‘Anti-Hazing Law’ amendment prevents hazing deaths: Zubiri MALAYBALAY City--Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri expressed confidence that the Senate recommendations on amendments to the AntiHazing Law will prevent senseless injuries, mental and emotional distress, and deaths from hazing.

“With such amendments, the illegal acts constituting

hazing are now explicitly stated without room for grey areas—unlike the old law, which accepts and merely regulates fatal hazing rites.

We had earlier realized that many injuries, damages, and deaths from hazing had gone unpunished because the law was ambiguous and its interpretation on what

was punishable was just left to the courts or to the prosecutors’ or judges’ caprices.

There was just too much room for interpretation, or misinterpretation, that even those who are guilty could successfully escape from the long arm of the law,” the Senator said.

During the joint hear-

ing of the Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs, Committee on Justice and Human Rights, and Committee on Constitutional Amendments and Revision of Laws Points, Zubiri raised the issue on “unwanted secrecy.”

Referring to the the death of UST (University of Santo

Tomas) freshman law student Horacio ‘Atio’ Tomas Castillo III, Zubiri said the victim was blindfolded in an undisclosed venue, which, during the house committee hearings, perpetrators were hard to put to reveal in their testimony.

“During the joint committee hearing, I raised

several issues such as: 1) The use of relentless mental and physical torture to embarrass and injure for three days; 2) UST authorities’ neglect of duties to prevent damage and injuries on unsuspecting students especially to Aegis Juris recruits; 3) The intent to See hazing, page 10

3 EDC clarifies alleged non-payment of P520-M realty taxes to Kidapawan City FOR ADS PLACEMENT CALL OR TEXT: 0917-712-1424 • 0947-893-5776

KIDAPAWAN City--The Energy Development Corporation (EDC), the country’s producer of geothermal power, has clarified it is

Tuesday, January 30, 2018

not remiss in paying real property taxes to the city government here.

Ivy Henson of the EDC’s corporate communications

division said her company has “faithfully” paid its realty taxes based on what was provided for in the Renewable Energy Act of 2008.

Henson clarified that under the law, the EDC, as producer of renewable energy, is entitled to certain incentives, one of which is on payment of real property taxes (RPT).

The EDC owns geothermal power facilities located at Barangay Ilomavis here.

Its geothermal power plants are producing 106 megawatts of power for Mindanao.

Earlier, the Kidapawan City LGU (local government unit) issued a warrant of levy to collect from EDC unpaid RPT worth P520 million. It said the company has not been paying the correct amount of realty taxes since 2010.

Weeks after the EDC received the warrant, the EDC filed a temporary restraining order and a writ of preliminary injunction

at the Regional Trial Court branch 17 here.

“The city government has a different view on this issue, and seeks to collect allegedly unpaid real property taxes, which we believe are not in accordance with applicable law,” said Henson.

She explained that her company has gone to court to preserve its rights, even as it continues to work with the city government.

EDC, she said, has been operating in Kidapawan City for 20 years, “providing Mindanao with clean, reliable, and affordable power.”

“During all this time, EDC has been an active and responsible corporate citizen of Kidapawan in partnership with the city and provincial governments, local communities, and

indigenous peoples. We are committed to continuing our service to Mindanao and we look forward to the eventual resolution of this dispute,” she added.

“We ask that the process be respected and that inflammatory statements tending to politicize the matter be avoided,” she stressed.

But Kidapawan City councilor Mike Rualo, chair of the Committee on Energy of the Sangguniang Panglungsod, denied there is politics involved in the city’s move to collect real property taxes from the EDC. “There is no politics involved in this real property tax issue. This is a different thing. The LGU’s mandate is to collect taxes that are due them. Walang pulitika dyan,” said Rualo. (Malu Cadelina Manar / MindaNews)

DTI fasttracks assistance to Marawi IDPs

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is keen on fast-tracking the revival of Marawi City’s illustrious business environment as the agency looks to provide more assistance to affected Maranao entrepreneurs.

“We plan to allocate more budget for this year to support the Bangon Marawi programs to provide livelihood assistance to around 80 percent of identified internally displaced persons (IDPs) in 2018,” said Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez.

DTI Regional Operations Group (ROG) Undersecretary Zenaida Maglaya said the agency has set aside P50 million to fund the Shared Service Facilities (SSF) project and will seek additional budget to fund the provision of livelihood starter kits, micro loans, mobile rice mills, tricycles, construc-

tion of public markets, and provision of retail spaces in major malls to promote Maranao products, among others.

“We will continue to provide assistance to our brothers and sisters in Marawi. As of now we are working to assist Maranao entrepreneurs with micro loans through the Pondo sa Pagbabago at Pag-asenso or P3, mobile rice mills, tricycles, and equipment,” Maglaya said.

The P50 million SSF fund will help address the needs of Maranao entrepreneurs in the aspect of loom weaving, wood working, and brasswares by providing equipment that matches their needs, she added.

Where’s the ‘Yes! Parking’ sign

IF plans don’t miscarry, the city government of Cagayan de Oro is keen on building a multistorey car park in downtown Divisoria to decongest the area from traffic haphazard.

Once constructed, the P60-million worth fourstorey car park building will help the Roads and Traffic Administration (RTA) strictly implement the “No Parking” policy in the side streets in Divisoria.

But, City Engineer Rolando Pacuribot told Mindanao Daily News that the City Hall doesn’t have the money to fund the con-

Hotline

struction of the car park building.

Pacuribot, however, expressed optimism that the project can still be materialized through the help of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and Senate President Aquilino Martin Pimentel III. I expect that the city government of Cagayan de Oro will be able to materialize the project to relieve the traffic congestions plaguing motorists not only in the downtown Divisoria, but also in other areas.

Without the car park building, the efforts of the

RTA to make the surroundings in Divisoria free from traffic is futile. And why not build more car park buildings in Carmen, Cogon, along Osmeña Street and other areas with narrow streets such as Tiano, Mabini, and Burgos Streets.

Fiction or not, I was told a story about the “no parking” sign. While the traffic enforcer is on the process of issuing a citation ticket to the driver for violation of “No Parking” sign, the driver asked the traffic enforcer: “Sir, ganiha ra ko diri og sigeg tuyok-tuyok wala man gyud ko kakita og ‘Yes Parking’ sign puro

Ruel V. Pelone

ra man ‘No Parking’.” True indeed, I also did not see a “Yes! Parking” sign in my entire life. Do you?

With the car park building in placed, the RTA, the city government of Cagayan de Oro must also clean the sidewalks of illegal structures--and then strictly implement the AntiJaywalking law.

The time has come.

Change is inevitable!

‘Mangrove swimming’

IN a secluded place called Tubajon, a barangay situated in Laguindingan in Misamis Oriental, there lies a one-of-a-kind seaside resort that offers a wacky experience to both locals and foreign tourists –- “mangrove swimming.”

Owned and operated by the people of Tubajon, the Aqua Marine Water Park and Fish Sanctuary serves as a great escape for nature lovers out there.

Your swimming binge is an experience like no other. Called “mangrove swimming,” you take the plunge through stairs attached to bamboo-made cottages interconnected with each other through a web of boardwalks made of bamboo poles.

Cottage rental for a daylong stay inside the mangrove forest runs between P300 to P500 depending on the size. A P1,000 rent goes with a more intricate, bigger “Titanic”-shaped bamboo cottage.

And just around the mangrove swamps, you get to watch tiny crabs dig their holes in the sea floor. Other marine specie dot the mangrove-filled marine park cum nature resort – freely.

As a protected zone, however, the Tubajon Aqua Marine and Fish Sanctuary has a few sets of rules to follow. Throwing of garbage anywhere around the area is a no-no, and therefore wastes are to be placed inside waste bags provided by the sanctuary management.

The place is a solace way of appreciating marine water amid lush mangroves spread in a 22-hectare sanctuary where tiny species of fish and other organisms enjoy their natural habitat.

Empowered by the upbeat tourism push of Gov. Bambi Emano’s Lambo MisOr, the Tubajon Aqua

Marine Park is a natural tourist attraction in the making.

In fact, the local marine park has been providing added income to the barangay, a tourism push worth the taking by other communities to improve local revenues and boost further the domestic tourism initiative of Gov. Bambi Emano.

On a bigger outlook, what impedes tourism growth in MisOr, or even in the whole of Mindanao is not the lack of worldclass infrastructure, but the continuing threat of terrorism.

The beauty and charm of MisOr and the rest of Mindanao are confidently beyond question. What is in question is how to corner that elusive peace in this beautiful island of aplenty has been searching since time immemorial.

With all its costly branding, Mindanao needs to strengthen its domestic security, the basic law and order for that matter, considered as the fundamental recipe to sustain tourism growth in this island once dubbed as the “promise land.”

This troubled island, most often threatened by terrorist attacks, deserves special attention no less to attain a responsible, sustainable and inclusive tourism development.

The need for a greater connectivity of Mindanao’s diverse destinations is also to be underscored by the Duterte administration.

Asap.

Sadly, what is happening now is the deafening silence to place Mindanao in the pedestal of sustained growth, globally-competitive in the field of tourism development, infrastructure and agriculture.

That said, several tourism initiatives in the local

front are in sustained limbo because of the alarming portrayal of negative stories about Mindanao.

To market Mindanao as a tourism destination is foremost and the cooperation of all players in the industry, including the tri-media is paramount for a sustainable growth in the tourism sector.

And so, these questions: what moves do we need to make travel and tourism in Mindanao safe and robust?

What are the key economic indicators for the sustained growth of local businesses and communities?

Consequently, to tell the business community of India not to go Mindanao is an admission of contriteness on the part of Malacanang.

Against this backdrop, the question on how to ensure greater information sharing and collective steps to ensure visitor safety remains critical at this time.

The need to institute tighter security measures are calculated moves toward achieving a competitive and safe tourist destination anywhere in Mindanao.

The challenge to build greater flexibility and visibility such as the ability of hotels and tour operators, among others, to adapt internal security measures during meetings, conferences and exhibitions, and others that could come any time at the forefront of tourism activities.

One fine example is the ever growing number of Korean tourist arrivals in Northern Mindanao particularly in Cagayan de Oro. The need therefore to tailor-fit marketing and outreach efforts, according to their needs, is one clear

Ruffy Magbanua

measure that can be leveraged, the same application for other foreign tourists like the Americans and Japanese visitors alike.

With the emerging ASEAN integration, Mindanao must be prepared for the growing number of arrivals of both foreign and domestic tourists and this is best addressed by partnering with the private sector in a corrupt–free, enabling environment.

Accordingly, Mindanao must recognize that the region’s sustained attractiveness as an emerging tourist destination must be driven by its people and the services it provide.

In addition, the island’s tourism come-on must be anchored on the attitude and acceptance of its people --- more than the fine beaches and sandbars, more than the water falls, rivers and mountains, more than its culture, historic or otherwise.

Community involvement also plays an important role in building support system for travel and tourism efforts in Mindanao to flourish and eventually benefit the people in the localities.

With terrorism worries continue to hound the tourism industry, the island’s potentials as the country’s emerging tourist destination is not seen to pass the tests of time in earnest, not until terror attacks are silenced and put to eternal rest.

Mindanao, its image already tarnished by terrorism has to push hard to become safe, secured and globally-competitive, tourism-wise. Our take therefore is tourism, not terrorism. (ruffy44_ph2000@ yahoo.com)

Palace welcomes Moody’s report on PH as standout ASEAN economy

M

A L AC A ÑA N G was elated on the latest report of Moody’s Investors Service that the Philippines is a standout among the ASEAN economies in 2018.

“Moody’s cited increasing trade and domestic demand, stable credit conditions and improved execution of government spending,” Roque said during his press briefing held in Iloilo over the weekend.

Secretary Roque further added that the Administration’s newly-enacted Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Act would contribute to the projected high economic growth this year.

He said that major infrastructure projects under the Administration’s BuildBuild-Build Program would spur economic activities, which included creation of livelihood opportunities for Filipinos, with the construction of networks of roads and bridges.

Related to this, the Palace spokesperson cited the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Inclusive Growth and Development Report 2018 where it classified the Philippines as an emerging economy with sustainability

stewardship of natural and financial resources under the national performance key indicator of intergenerational equity and sustainability.

The Philippines ranked 38th among 74 emerging economies in this year’s WEF report describing the Philippine economy as “slowly advancing” from last year’s “stable” ranking.

Meanwhile, Roque mentioned that freedom of the

speech and freedom of the press have always been his long-time advocacy. This in light of the issue of the Philippine Rise (Benham Rise) quoting the Palace spokesperson that “the Philippines has no capacity to explore Benham Rise.”

Secretary Roque branded this as fake news.

“Sa totoo lang po, itong issue ng Benham Rise nagulat ako, how prestigious publications can really pub-

lish fake news kasi malinaw na malinaw na sinabi ko sa tape….,” Roque said.

The Palace spokesperson categorically denied the stories that came out on the issue of Philippine Rise (Benham Rise) saying that there were two questions asked on him during the press briefing.

He first explained why China was given permit to conduct a scientific study.

He then clarified that for-

eigners need to get permits since the Philippine Rise (Benham Rise) was part of the extended continental shelf.

Only Filipinos, Roque added, could explore and exploit the resources since Filipinos had the sovereign rights.

Secretary Roque reiterated that in journalism, the basic tenet of journalism is dedication to the truth, but nonetheless he allows the free marketplace of ideas.

On the Dengvaxia issue, the President’s spokesperson asked the public to wait for the result of the official investigation.

“Ang Presidente po ay nag-aantay ng resulta ng imbestigasyon. Matapos

po ang imbestigasyon na ginagawa ngayon ng DOH at saka ng DOJ, eh sigurado naman po hindi na po NGO magsasampa ng kaso, kundi gobyerno na. Pero pakiusap lang ng Presidente at ng Palasyo, hayaan po natin tapusin ng DOJ at ng DOH ang imbestigasyon nila dahil nakasalalay sa imbestigasyon nila siyempre yung kalusugan ng mga batang naturukan at tsaka siyempre yung peace of mind ng kanilang mga magulang, ” he said.

Roque reiterated that the President did not want to engage in finger-pointing but the Chief Executive, Roque assured, would implement the law depending on the outcome of the investigation. (PCO)

Davao City sets new record in number of businesses, investments

By ANTONIO L. COLINA IV, Mindanews

DAVAO CITY — The city government has set a new record after it ended 2017 with more than 40,000 businesses and a total investment value of P270 billion, Mayor Sara Duterte said.

The city surpassed its 2016 record of 39,238 business establishments with total investment value worth P230.83 billion.

She made the announcement before 300 attendees of the 50th Annual Installation of Officers and Board of

Trustees of the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCCII) at the SMX Convention Center Davao on Friday.

The mayor said 2017 was an interesting time for the business community here which saw many ups and downs following the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao on May 23 She assured business executives that the city remains safe, although she admitted that the city “took

a temporary dip” after her father placed the whole of Mindanao under military rule and suspended the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus due to the Marawi siege.

She said the city attained the 2-million target in the number of tourist arrivals in 2017, higher compared with 1.86 million recorded in 2016.

Davao City wants to augment police force by 2,000 or 2,500

By Antonio L. Colina IV, MindaNews

D

AVAO CITY — Davao City wants additional 2,000 to 2,500 police forces to beef up the operations of the 1,700 strong Davao City Police Office (DCPO), Mayor Sara Duterte said on Friday.

The requested addition is more than twice the present number of 1,700.

At the 50th Annual Installation of Officers and Board of Trustees of the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCCII) at the SMX Convention Center here on Friday, the mayor said they see the need for more s e c u r i t y f o rc e s t o maintain peace and order here and thwart threats of terrorism because it is getting more challenging to secure a city as big as Davao with a growing a population.

The city has a population of 1.6 million based on the 2015 census of the Philippine Statistics Authority.

“The city is so huge because there

are a lot of people going inside and the security forces are not enough, with a population which is the same as other big cities, except that they are smaller in terms of land area and they have more police forces,” she said.

The mayor said they are preparing the documents to request the Philippine National Police for additional police personnel.

The mayor explained that s e c u ri t y m e a s u re s must be stepped up to protect the city from those who do not agree with some of the policies of her f a t h e r, P r e s i d e n t Rodrigo Duterte, and may want to “embarrass” the city where he served as city mayor for 22 years before he ascended to the country’s highest position in 2016.

The mayor added that the security forces here are working very hard to make sure “there will be no

terroristic incident in the city.”

She added they continue to deploy police auxiliaries to augment the police patrolling in strategic areas throughout the city.

“We want to keep Davao City’s pride of being the safest city in the country for both people and businesses,” she added.

On September 2, 2016, a blast ripped through Roxas Night Market, leaving 15 people dead and 69 others injured.

The bombing was reportedly perpetrated by members of the Islamic State-inspired Maute Group, the same group that attacked Marawi City last May 23 that prompted the President to place the entire Mindanao under Martial Law. The President also suspended the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus.

The battle of Marawi ended five months later with Duterte declaring Marawi liberated from the influence

of the terrorist group on October 17, a day after the military killed Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon and Omar Maute.

Congress approved on December 13, 2017 the President’s request of martial alw extension until December 31, 2018.

The mayor admitted that martial law challenged the city’s campaign as a prime investment and tourism destination in the country and assured potential investors that the city is safe.

“In response to this, our tourism and investment offices a re w o r k i n g o n a brand campaign to highlight Davao City as a peaceful destination,” she said.

She added a series of roadshows, targeting foreign chambers of commerce, tourism associations, and embassies, will also be organized to promote the city as a “safe and secured choice” for residents, visitors and investors.

Over 120k children in Davao Region benefit from DSWD feeding program Davao City (DSWD XI) -The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) bared that for the 7th cycle implementation of its Supplementary Feeding Program (SFP), a total of 127,746 children enrolled in 2,792 Child Development Centers in Davao Region were covered.

In response to the malnutrition problem and to help achieve the millennium goal 1 of eradicating poverty and hunger, DSWD, in partnership with Local Government Units (LGUs) implemented the feeding program.

Davao Del Sur with 345 Child Development Centers (CDCs) has served 14,021 children-beneficiaries; Davao del Norte with 583 CDCs served 31,774; Davao Occidental with 244 CDCs served 9,057; Compostela Valley with 542 CDCs served 25,214; Davao Oriental with 529 CDCs served 19,428; and Davao City with 549 CDCs was able to serve 28,252.

The feeding program aims to improve and sustain the nutritional status of target children-beneficiaries and improve knowledge, attitude and practices of children, parents and caregivers

through intensified nutrition and health education.

It basically provides hot meals for 120 days to children enrolled in LGU-run Child Development Centers (formerly known as Day Care Centers) and Supervised Neighborhood Play.

Regional Director of DSWD Mercedita P. Jabagat emphasized that at the start of Cycle 7 implementation, DSWD piloted the provision of twice-a-day feeding in selected LGUs based on the following criteria: malnutrition rate as per National Nutrition Council (NNC); with children in Geographically isolated and Disadvantaged Areas, (GIDA) and Indigenous Peoples (lP) areas; with nutritionally depressed areas; and with no unliquidated funds from previous implementation of the regular feeding program.

Under the program, DSWD was able to download a total of Php 242,759,227.14 million to qualified partner LGUs in 2017.

Currently, DSWD implements the regular Supplementary Feeding Program in all LGUs across the country​ to ensure that day care children are able to consume nutritious food. (DSWD)

economy,” said Security Bank President Alfonso L.

He that humbled himself shall be exalted The Gospel of Jesus C hrist ( J a n u a r y 3 0 , 2018-Tuesday) Luke 18:914” Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortionist, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the

Repair and Improvement Loan starting January 23.

“It is unfortunate that these back-to-back disasters hit the country during the holidays. We are extending financial help to our members and pensioners in the affected areas given the extent of damages,” Dooc said.

The Calamity Loan Assistance Program (CLAP) is a separate loan window from the regular salary loan program where members can borrow up to P16,000, depending on their SSS monthly salary credit, which is the basis of the amount of their contributions.

“This particular loan is payable in two years in equal monthly installments with an annual interest rate of 10 percent and one percent monthly penalty for late payments. To eliminate additional expenses on the part of our memberborrowers, we decided to

week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a “sinner.”

In Luke 18:14’I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalted himself shall be abased; and he that humbled

himself shall be exalted. The major reasoned of Satan’s rebellion was pride in his heart. He aimed to replace the throne of God. But he was mistaken in that move since God is more powerful than him. Satan is destined already for eternal fire. 2 Peter 2:4”For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness,

reserved for judgment.To do evil has a price. This means let us do what is best and right to avoid punishment.

Every wrong act has a corresponding consequence.

The Pharisee was right in doing his religious practices and supposedly, all of us will do the same. But because of comparing himself to a certain sinner, his good deeds diminished in the sight of

God.The best thing he did was to pray for the forgiveness of the sinner instead of condemning him. This man made a human judgment to this sinner which he was not entitled to do so. In Matthew 7:1-4””Do not judge so that you will not be judged. “For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.

waive the one percent service fee,” Dooc added.

CLAP is available to all members with home address or property in a declared calamity area by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. A total of at least 36 monthly contributions, of which six were paid within the 12-month period preceding the date of application is required for them to qualify.

The SSS Chief also reiterated that qualified OFW members may assign a representative to file for their application, provided an authorization letter is presented.

Based on SSS data, about 667,513 paying members of the pension fund were affected by Typhoons Vinta and Urduja, which hit the country on December 12 and 21, 2017, respectively. Of the total members affected, SSS identified over 66,000 potential borrowers with an average monthly salary credit of P10,000.

Dooc, however, clarified that members who still have outstanding loans under the Loan Restructuring Program (LRP) and previous CLAPs, as well as those receiving pensions for total permanent disability and retirement are not qualified under this new CLAP. Aside from CLAP, calamity-stricken members with damaged homes can also avail of the Direct House Repair and Improvement Loan with reduced interest rate of six percent per annum and waived processing fee.

To qualify for Direct House Repair and Improvement Loan, the applicant must not more than 60 years old and with at least 24 monthly contributions, of which three contributions are within the last 12-month period prior to the month of filing.

“According to NDRRMC reports, over 22,000 houses in Eastern Visayas and CARAGA Regions were partially and totally damaged. SSS

members can borrow a maximum of P1 million with a low interest rate of six percent per annum fixed for 15 years to adequately finance their house repairs and gradually repay their monthly amortizations,” Dooc explained.

Meanwhile, pensioners applying for the three-month advance pension whose present address is different from the address in the SSS database will have to present a barangay certification attesting to their residency in a NDRRMC-declared calamity area.

The pension fund has identified about 118,000 potential pensioners with an average monthly pension of P5,324 in declared calamity areas, who may avail the three-month advance pension.

Filing of application for CLAP and three-month advance pension is until April 23, 2018 while Direct House Repair and Improvement Loan application is until January 23, 2019.

The Senator urged Justice Secretary Aguirre to file charges against the perpetrators in the killing of Atio Castillo.

“Atio was a victim of fellow students and ex-students of UST acting together and conniving to torture the victim that eventually led to the gruesome

death. The death blow itself being unflinchingly inflicted by the so-called head of Aegis Juris on the pulped down body of young Atio prods us to recommend amendments on Anti-Hazing Law,” he said.

The Senate committees planned to conclude the hearings faster but the shenanigans and prevarications of the perpetrators slowed down the pace of Committee investigation.

Nevertheless, the Committee Report is extensive, explicit, and fair to everyone affected by the Atio killing. Our vigilance, especially of media, was not in vain. We may now hope that the Castillo family will feel that wheels of justice will move in their favour, Zubiri said in a released statement. (PLeoncio, Office of Senator Juan Miguel F.

Xerxes Trinidad, commanding officer of the 36th IB, along with staff from Taganito HPAL (THPAL) Nickel Corporation and Good Harvest Bio-organic Farming, Inc., launch the Kapalayapaan organic rice farm project with the planting of hybrid organic rice seedlings on a plot of rice paddies.

Eight farmers who will tend their rice fields anew after 12 years of deserting it will be supervised by Ignacio Lauzon, CEO of Good Harvest Bio-organic Farming, to ensure that they can yield at least 100 sacks of organic rice in April this year.

Julius Dalubatan, one of the recipient farmers, said they abandoned their farms at the height of the mining operation boom in 2006 when their lands were affected by large volumes of laterite wastes that overflowed from Taganito river during the heavy flooding.

He said since the laterites mixed the soil of the rice fields , yield during harvest season had drastically declined that they could hardly get 30 sacks of rice a hectare.

Claver , once a farming and fishing town, has hosted some eight large mining companies including THPAL, a Japanese-owned nickel processing plant, which is extending financial support through their Social Development and Management Program to pursue the 36th IB “Kapalayapaan” organic rice farm project.

Ka-Palay-apaan (coined from a mixture of Tagalog words, peace and rice) is a joint initiative among stakeholders in the government to help the poor farmers liberate from “high cost yet low yield” old farming methods.

The project was the brainchild of Lt. Col. Randolph Rojas, former 36th IB commander, who introduced it to the impoverished farmers in the conflictstricken village of Lindoy in Tago town in Surigao del Sur. The Lindoy experience where farmers of this once New Peoples Army influenced community have already sustained at least 100 sacks per hectare production in the last three harvest seasons became an inspiration to drive the 36th IB soldiers to replicate the initiative to four other towns in Surigao del Sur. Trinidad said introducing Kapalayapaan in the mining town of Claver was a big challenge but they are committed to make it a big success. “We are true to our intent to bring food to the table of every Filipino home,” adding that “If the stomachs of every family member are full, no one would think of doing bad things.”

For her part, Genevieve Chua, manager of Community Relations at THPAL,

said their company wanted Claver residents to be engaged in sustainable livelihood activities like organic rice farming for them to be prepared when mining stops operation after 25 years.

Lauzon said bio-organic farming would change the attitude of farmers to become hard working since tending this kind of farm involves a lot of manual labor aside from strictly following the tedious protocol and processing from land preparation to blooming of rice until the harvest time.

It took Lauzon and the eight farmers 20 days to till back the land into rice paddies that some residents who passed by were surprised plowing was done four times apart from mixing the soil with bio-organic fertilizers at 10 sacks per hectare.

“Karami diyan Pilipino walang trabaho. Diyan sa city jail mamili ka diyan. Pa-eskapuhin ko ‘yan (There are so many unemployed Filipinos. You can choose anyone there at the city jail. I will let them escape,” he said, in jest.

“Gawain mong CAFGU (You can turn them into CAFGU).”

Duterte said his order to the military is to destroy the NPA, the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).

“The order is to crush. A synonym of that is destroy.

And a collateral of that sentence is you destroy.

And if you have to kill, do it because the human rights, kung babagsak itong bayan na ‘to, walang maitulong sa atin ‘yan (if the nation will fall, that can’t help us),” Duterte said.

The CPP-NPA, under Duterte’s Proclamation No. 374, has been designated/identified terrorist organization pursuant to Republic Act No. 10168, also known as the Terrorism Financing Prevention and Suppression Act of 2002.

The law states, “It is the policy of the State to protect life, liberty, and property from acts of terrorism, to condemn terrorism and those who support and finance it and to recognize it as inimical and dangerous to the national security of the country and the welfare of the people, and to make financing of terrorism a crime against the Filipino people, against humanity, and against the law of nations.”

The proclamation added that the law “criminalizes the financing of terrorism and dealing with property or funds of designated persons/organizations, and prevents and suppresses the commission of said offenses through freezing and forfeiture of the property or funds of said designations persons/organizations, among others.

Tuesday, January 30, 2018 Lt. Gen. Benjamn Madrigal, chief of the Eastern Mindanao Command (Eastmincom) told the Mindanao Business Briefing last Tuesday at the Seda Hotel that some P2.48 billion had been lost to alleged extortion activities and NPA attacks.

Madrigal said at least P1.48 billion of which came from extorting mining and agricultural companies in Eastern Mindanao, covering Davao Region (Davao del Norte, del Sur, Oriental and Occidental), Caraga (Surigao del Norte and del Sur, Agusan del Norte and del Sur, and Dinagat Islands), and parts of Region 12 or Soccksargen and Northern Mindanao while the P1 billion came mostly from the damages incurred due to the burning of the box plant of the Lorenzo family-owned Lapanday Foods Corporation in Mandug, this city, by the New People’s Army (NPA) on April 29, 2017.

With P1.48 billion, he said the NPA could buy 23,333 AK47 rifles or 31.1 million rounds of ammunition.

Madrigal urged the businesses sector to stop giving in to the demands of the NPA because they only worsen the insurgency problem by funding their operations with the socalled revolutionary taxes.

“They (NPA) will continue to ask if some will continue to provide also,” he added, maintaining that they intend to clip recruitment of new NPA members by deploying more security forces in communities where there are reported extortion activities.

He assured they would strengthen military presence in conflict-affected and resources-rich areas to put a dent on extortion activities. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

Party... from page 1

Laban.

Marlo Tabac, Barangay Gusa chairman and head of the PDP Laban Cagayan de Oro council, said they decided to hold the mass oath taking in the city “to portray that Cagayan de Oro is the birthplace of PDP-Laban.” The party’s founder, former senator Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel Jr. is a native of the city.

Tabac said the party has set only two requirements for local government leaders who wish to join PDP Laban: that they will support the proposed shift of government to federalism and that they will denounce their old political party.

The oath taking, he said, is also a way to strengthen the party, especially that the midterm elections are just months away. “[PDP Laban] must flex its muscle as the dominant political party,” Tabac said, adding that they are conducting recruitment and oath taking activities all

over the country to beef up its number.

Pimentel’s son, Senate President Aquilino Martin “Koko” Pimentel III, officiated the oath taking at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP) gymnasium.

The senate president has also reminded the thousands of local government officials from the region who took their oath as members of PDP-Laban that their group is not a “party of convenience” but a “principled party.”

After the mass oath taking, Pimentel said he expects the new members to beef up PDP-Laban in their areas, “they should now expand the membership and then they should support the candidates of the party, especially that we need help with federalism.”

It was also important to note, he said, that PDPLaban focuses on the quality rather than quantity of its party membership.

In a separate interview though, city engineer Rolando Pacuribot said that City Hall doesn’t have the budget to construct the ambitious project because the city government cannot afford to fund it on its own.

But Pacuribot said they are still moving forward on the project because they will seek financial assistance from both the national government through the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and Senate President Aquilino Martin Pimentel III. Pacuribot said that the city government will pour in its own equity once the project will be greenlighted, adding that the four-deck structure will cost more than P60 million to make based on initial studies.

He expected that the project to be greenlighted within this year if plans don’t miscarry.

Momentarily, the Roads and Traffic Administration (RTA) headed by Oclarit is busy overhauling traffic flows in other congested parts of the city.

The RTA started it by making the JR Borja portion along Cogon market as a two-way street.

In the next few months, the agency will turn its attention at the area surrounding westbound public market in Bulua where traffic flow will imminently increase in the light of the opening of an SM-affiliated shopping center there, a branch of CitiMall.

Oclarit said that RTA has also been receiving complaints from motorists that parked trucks dismounting their vegetable produce would occasionally cause traffic flow to halt there.

He said RTA is studying the situation first before implementing a new flow scheme.

Marawi residents who rented houses in the for m e r ‘Grou n d Z e ro’ cannot avail of the housing units. “ R e n t i n g i s d i f f e rent,” del Rosario said, e x p l a i n i n g t h at t h o s e who rented were staying in Marawi temporarily.

He said the Department of S o c i a l We l f are an d De velopment (DSWD) can assist by giving them fare to return to their places of origin and “pera para makapagsimula ka” (money to start anew).

Marawi residents who l i ve d i n d ange r z on e s “will not be allowed to go back there anymore.

So they have to be resettled, so we will give them housing units.”

He was referring to residents living on the banks of the Agus River, near Lake Lanao.

He said this area to the left and right of Agus River “will become a promenade or a park.”

Del Rosario explained that those who will stay in transitional shelters — t ho s e w ho have no more homes to retur n to — will move to the permanent shelters.

Those in the temporar y shelters w ho wi l l build their own houses will not move to the permanent shelters but to the houses they built.
