No lockdown in Marawi, only curfew says military By DIVINA M. SUSON Correspondent

ILIGAN CITY--The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) said there is no lockdown in Marawi City after the implementation of Martial Law in Mindanao has expired at 12:00 midnight on December 31, 2019, more than two year it was declared during the siege. Col. Jose Maria Cuerpo, commander of the Army’s 103rd Infantry Brigade, whose jurisdictions include Marawi and Lanao del Sur, the curfews hours, although adjusted, is still in effect following the request of the Lanao del Sur’s Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC) in an emergency meeting last Decembes 27, last year. “It is part of ours and the PNPs (Philippine National Police) security measures in compliance with the Proclamation 55. But the curfew is adjusted from 10pm to 5am to 12 midnight to 4am,” Cuerpo said. On his social media account, Marawi resident Drieza Lininding, also chairman of a civic Moro Concensus Group, posted an open letter addressed to See CURFEW, page 10

PNP to boost operations in Caraga as martial law ends By ALEXANDER LOPEZ

BUTUAN CITY -- Police security measures will be strengthened further to ensure the safety of residents of the Caraga region after the implementation of martial law in Mindanao expired last December 31. In a statement issued on Friday, Police Regional Office (PRO) 13 (Caraga) Director, Brig. Gen. Joselito T. Esquivel Jr., said they will step up special operations that would include establish-

ing checkpoints in various areas across the region. This, as PRO-13 released the region’s recorded crime volume from 2015 to 2019. According to the Regional Investigation and Detection Management Division, Caraga’s crime volume decreased from 14,331 in 2015 to 10,029 in 2016 and 9,141 in 2017. An increase in crime volume was, however, recorded in 2018 with 9,348, and in 2019, with 9,555. “PNP-Caraga will continue to step up with our

crime prevention activities to suppress all forms of lawless violence despite the expiration of martial law,” Esquivel said. He also asked for the continued support of communities around the region for the PNP’s intensified operations. “I assure the people of Caraga that with the help and active support of the community, we will live in a peaceful region where prog- (Right) DENR Assistant Secretary for Administration, Human Resources and Legislaress continues,” Esquivel said. tive Affairs Joan A.

ILIGAN City--Marawi City Mayor Majul Gandamra urged his constituents to be responsible, with one another, as he recalled in his Rizal Day message the principles of Dr. Jose Rizal when it comes “to loving our country and caring for the countrymen.” In a solemn commemoration of the 123rd death anniversary of the Philippines’ national hero, Gandamra led the offering of wreath for the hero inside the city hall building of Marawi. The recent Rizal Day commemoratiom was the first ever since the Marawi siege in 2017. “Naging alipin tayo sa ating mga kahinaan at mga hindi magandang aspeto ng pagiging Pilipino. At marami din sa atin ang hindi maasahan bilang mamayang Pilipino sa isip at sa gawa,” Gandamra said in his message. “At lalo na po sa nangyari sa atin dito sa Marawi kamakailan lang, siguro naisip din natin minsan na tayo rin ang dahilan kung bakit tayo ay nagpasan ng malaking pagsubok na iyon,” he added. Gandamra said Meranaws in Marawi would not experience the siege if

they only had earlier saw and met the need to serve and help others, the need to educate everyone, including themselves, about peace and the good and the good that it brings, the need for honest and gainful livelihood for all and the need to achieve true progress in a land that had suffered from so much neglect and infamy. “I think Rizal would agree that we all need to face these challenges, that we all need to be the change that we want to see. That if we truly love Marawi then we must all be the hope of this city, that we should stop being slaves of our weaknesses as a people. 2019 will end in a day from now, how about starting all over again and apply these

lessons seriously this time,” Gandamra said. Gandamra, who was on his first term when the siege happened, urged his constituents to take the time to reflect on Rizal’s love for his country and the Filipino people instead of just letting the Rizal Day pass by the way they had often done. “Like Rizal, let us use our gifts of intellect, moral and physical strength, talents, and faith to better the conditions of our people. His short life has indeed contributed much to humanity, and a great contribution of our country to the world. Applying his ideas and teachings to our daily life is surely our best way of thanking this man!” Gandamra said.

Drunk man arrested for raping 2-year-old By DIVINA M. SUSON Correspondent

ILIGAN City--Police arrested Wednesday morning (January 1) a 27-year-old for allegedly raping a two-yearold girl in her room at the family’s residence in Purok 1, Barangay Tambacan. The suspect, identified by police as Ibrahim Adiong and a resident of Barangay Tomas Cabili, was with the father of the toddler having a drinking spree since the evening of December 31, supposedly to usher the New Year. The suspect was just invited by the friend of the victim’s father. Lieutenant Rodney Gere, deputy station commander

of Iligan City Police Station 4, said Adiong asked permission from the group to go to the toilet to urinate. “Nadunggan sa amahan nga misinggit iyang anak. Sa iyang pagsusi, iyang nakitan ang suspek nga hubo nagpatong sa iyang anak. Misinggit siya nga ‘akong anak gi-rape!’, midagan ang suspek, mosibat unta,” Gere said in an interview. (The victim’s father heard that his child shouted. When he checked at the room, where the victim and her 11-month old sibling were sleeping, he saw the suspect naked on top of the 2 years old. When the father shouted ‘my child was raped’, See DRUNK, page 11

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte on Friday skipped his scheduled visits to Malalag and Padada, the two earthquake-stricken towns in Davao del Sur province, Malacañang confirmed. The President needs to take some rest since he is deprived of sleep following his recent punishing schedule, Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a text message. “Kailangan ng tulog ni PRRD [President Rodrigo Roa Duterte] dahil sa dami ng ginawa niya past few days (The President needs some sleep because he had so many activities in the past few days),” the Palace official said. Duterte’s meeting with quake victims in Malalag and Padada in Davao del Sur was initially set on Thursday but was moved to Friday because he was also feeling under the weather. The two towns were among the most damaged by the 6.9 magnitude earthquake that shook the Davao region on Dec. 15 last year. The President’s son, Davao City Vice Mayor Sebastian Duterte, and for-

President Rodrigo Duterte

mer long-time aide, Senator Christopher Lawrence Go, attended the two events on his behalf. Duterte’s last public engagement was on Dec. 30, when he and his daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, led the commemorative Rizal Day rites at the Rizal Park in Davao City. The President also visited earthquake victims in M’lang, North Cotabato and attended the 60th founding anniversary of the Cor Jesu College and the turnover of

checks to quake victims in Digos City, Davao del Sur on Dec. 30. Duterte also spent the Christmas and New Year celebrations at his home in Davao City. In November last year, Duterte admitted that his ailments are taking a toll on his health, but assured the public that he can still perform his duties well as the country’s highest elected official. Duterte earlier revealed that he is suffering from

muscle spasms, chronic back pains, and migraines. The President also has myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that weakens skeletal muscles responsible for breathing and moving parts of the body. He also said he has Barrett’s esophagus, a potentially serious complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease, and Buerger’s disease, a rare disease of the arteries and veins in the See SKIPS, page 11

You reap what you sow

THE franchise renewal is not an issue of press freedom, as claimed by those doubting Thomases and sympathetic to ABS-CBN. That said, this can be pure bad luck on the part of ABS-CBN, or simply bad karma in which the supertitious would readily say aye. It is not a supression of press freedom, either. Or even a closure order, nor a shut down directive from

Malacanang. It is simply about ABS CBN’s franchise that is expiring, or due to expire. Again, there is no such thing as shut down order. It has been said that ABS -CBN franchise is a privilege, not a matter of right. In this case, it is not the property of ABS CBN that is being taken away. Simply put: this is about the ABS CBN franchise that

would soon expire, period. The renewal? Well, it’s up to the government to renew the franchise or not. Unfortunately, the President has an axe to grind on ABS-CBN and it’s all about politics. With that, 2020 could be a year of bad luck for the Lopez-owned media outfit. The President has sarcastically suggested to the Lopez family to sell ABS

Ruffy Magbanua

CBN rather than wait for the non-renewal of the franchise. As the saying goes: you reap what you sow.(ruffy44_ ph2000@yahoo.com)

Susan’s Notes

On 2020 and that visa requirement

BY the time this column sees print and/or appears online, it would have been a few days to the year 2020 and I read somewhere that 2019 is the last year with the number 19 at least until the next century comes along. Unless someone finds the literal fountain of youth or some process is discovered that would prolong human life without resorting to cybernetics or something artificial (and ugly looking), most of us old enough to read this column including myself won’t be around to see that transition. Which is fine by me since one should be thankful to the Lord God for giving the life he or she has or continues to live in. Incidentally

as I write this I wish to extend my condolences to the family of lawyer Edgardo Uy whose wife passed away recently. Just as there is death, there is also life and I greet those who celebrated their birthdays on or a few days before and after New Year. Every new year brings with it significant life events like birthdays and deaths and so we learn to appreciate life more whether it be ours or our loved ones and friends. Anyways, on to 2020 and regardless of what year it is in the Chinese calendar (I learned that 2020 is the Year of the Metal Rat), may we thrive and prosper regardless of the challenges and trials that this year brings

to us. ***************** Just before 2019 ended, Filipinos were rudely greeted by the news that the Duterte administration will issue a requirement for Americans to secure visas when visiting the Philippines and it really ticked me off to no end. My husband Ronnie was more vocal, saying that it would probably be better for us since it would mean less expenses traveling from North Carolina all the way to Cagayan de Oro City. I shudder at the thought, since as a homegrown, aging and ailing Pinoy I want to spend time in both my birthplace of Tagoloan town, Misamis Oriental

Susan Palmes-Dennis

and nearby Cagayan de Oro City where I spent majority of my media career before leaving for the US in 2009. I tend to agree with one of the US senators who got banned from entering the Philippines for supporting the call to release Sen. Leila de LIma when he said that President Rodrigo Duterte is taking the issue personally and elevating it to the highest level with this visa requirement for Americans visiting the country. I would also imagine that this would also affect Filipino-Americans like myself and disappointment on my part is an understatement.

Kim’s Dream

Cooperativism: A Countervailing Force Against Extractivism THE Philippines was so rich before but now so poor in terms of biodiversity, even becoming the 3rd hardest hit in the world of climate change. What happened? Why and how did we lost our ecological wealth described as the richest on earth, home to billions of life forms that had lived in the 17 million hectares of dipterocarp forest for millions of years but disappeared in just several decades of plunder? The natural wealth was not just confined above the ground; under the ground oozed with 72 kinds of minerals, i.e., gold, silver, copper and what have you. The natural wealth did not stop at the shorelines as the archipelago had been described by no less than Dr. Kent Carpenter of the UN-FAO as the “center of the center of marine life on earth.” So rich but so poor! What a paradox as our ecological people, the Indigenous People, the farmers and fisherfolks are now the poorest. Who controls? Who decides? Who benefits? Environment experts and

social scientists have concluded that the root cause of the plunder is because our country has been subjected to the economic paradigm called “EXTRACTIVISM,” a term originally used to describe economies based on removing ever more raw materials from the earth, usually for export to traditional colonial powers, where “value” was added. During the American occupation, there was a big debate in the US Senate on whether to continue colonizing the Philippines, a country which is located in the other side of the earth. The statement of Sen. Larry Heaney did convince everyone not to leave the Philippines then as the “Forest of that country is so rich that it can supply the timber needs of the world for century to come!” Yes, we have the finest timber in the world which is only found in the Philippines, commanding gargantuan profit for the colonizers then and continued by the loggers after the colonial rule. Each shipment of logs would earn a logger

some three hundred sixty million pesos, money that they used to bribe government officials to continue their rakings and even used to buy votes as many loggers were voted as mayors, congressmen, governors and even senators. Thus, from 17 million hectares of natural forest, only half a million hectares remain. After the plunder of the forest ecosystem, tremendous mining operations loomed as the culprit to extract minerals that had caused so much havoc in killing our bays and rivers due to the massive siltation and the destruction of our mangroves and coral reefs as only five percent is in excellent condition. As the Presiding Officer of the “Task Force Kinaiyahan,” we had arrested three Chinese nationals doing illegal mining in a camp site in the uplands of Cagayan de Oro where we found hand grenades, AK47 and Armalites. These Chinese nationals were just carrying papers as tourists and after their arrest, they were even escorted by a local official

Orlan R. Ravanera

to go back to China. After a month, our colleague in the environmental movement by the name of Fausto Orasan whom we called Datu Sandigan, the Chieftain of the Higaonon tribe in Cagayan de oro, was murdered by whom we believe were the armed men of the miners. That was in 2014 but until now, the killers were still scot free. Extractivism is still continuing in another form. It is seen in the 200,000 hectares plantations in Mindanao owned by TransNational Corporations and Oligarchs using toxic chemicals heavily that as if some 2,000 dumptrucks of poison are being dumped to our water tables everyday. Of the 14 chemicals used, 7 are already banned in other countries. That is the reason why many are dying of cancer and deformed babies are born. Yes, high value fruits are being extracted from our lands to feed the consumerist lifestyle of the people See FORCE, page 11

Technology challenges traditional advertising, says Talkwalker

MANILA, Philippines. January 02, 2020— With trust in traditional advertising continuing on a downward trend, brands and organizations need even more today to invest in technology, according to leading social listening and analytics firm Talkwalker. In its recently released Social Media Trends 2020, a collection of more than 50 global industry experts’ social media predictions co-authored by HubSpot, Talkwalker, notes how across the globe, traditional advertising faces a tough challenge as generation Z

and millennials dominate the market scene, giving rise to the age of digital consumerism characterized by technology-driven consumer behavior and skepticism about advertisements and endorsements. Talkwalker notes that 84 percent of millennials express their distrust in traditional advertising. The same report shows conversational data around advertising has dropped significantly in net sentiment in the past 13 months. “Generation Z and millennials are now seen as high-value targets by brands

THE Monetary Board approved the adoption of the report on intraday liquidity to facilitate monitoring of the BSP-supervised institutions’ intraday liquidity position. The monitoring of intraday liquidity position provides a tool to gauge the ability of covered banks and quasi banks (QBs) to meet their intraday obligations on a timely basis, ultimately contributing to the smooth and efficient functioning of the payment and settlement systems. The report on intraday liquidity will be applied to universal and commercial banks (UBs/KBs), and their subsidiary thrift banks/ QBs. The report requiresthe presentation of intraday liquidity metrics consistent with those proposed under international standards such as daily maximum intraday liquidity usage, intraday

throughput, gross payments sent and received, and available intraday liquidity position, among other metrics. Meanwhile, stand-alone thrift banks/QBs and all rural/cooperative banks will not be required to submit the report on intraday liquidity in recognition of the lower volume of payments and settlements entered into by these financial institutions. Instead, they are expected to maintain an adequate and reliable management information system that is able to measure and monitor selected intraday metrics. Moreover, the submission of the report is expected to encourage covered banks/ QBs to adopt a systematic and disciplined approach in managing their intraday liquidity. It will also enable the BSP to conduct a detailed analysis of the

because of their significant spending power. To get their buy in, marketers in the Philippines, for instance, have been resorting to conveying personalized message and brand purpose. Experts across the globe note, moreover, the need to equally place high value on how and where brands convey these messages,” said Ben Soubies, head of Sales for Asia Pacific at Talkwalker. More than the message,

Soubies underscored the vital role that new and disruptive technologies play in engaging the current generations of consumers. Being first-born digital natives, Gen Zs and millennials place a premium on consumer experience. Gen Zs, in particular, were born with everything at their fingertips. With digital connectivity and the emergence of social commerce very accessible, these digital natives expect seamless

consumer journey across touchpoints. The global experts tapped by Talkwalker all agree that brands should leverage technology to put their message across and reach out to their target markets. Using data from more than 50 global experts, PR professionals, social media gurus and influencers, the Social Media Trends 2020 outlines what brands need to know to upscale their marketing potential in 2020.

“This e-Book contains predictions by global experts, including industry thought leaders from the Philippines. It also covers other relevant areas such as influencer marketing going small to big, harnessing the power of data privacy and how Tiktok would be vital to marketing strategies, among others,” said Soubies.

Gov’t allows importation of 35K metric tons of red onions By FILANE MIKEE CERVANTES

MANILA – The Department of Agriculture (DA) has authorized the importation of red onions until midFebruary to bring down prices. In a press conference on Friday, DA Secretary William Dar said he has greenlighted the importation of 35,000 metric tons of red onions to plug the two-month production gap in the country. “These red onions can

OWWA XI conducts Scholars Youth Camp DAVAO CITY -- As part of the Learning Support Mechanism for the scholars of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administratio (OWWA), the Regional Welfare Office XI conducted a youth camp for its scholars last December 14, 2019 at the Lanang Suites, Davao City. A total of eighty (80) scholars from the different provinces of Davao region attended the activity with OWWA officers Mialou Batican, Melody Ember Tomas, and Cristelito Abadilla as the facilitators. The activity aims to enhance and improve the scholars’ knowledge and skills on team building and teamwork to help them improve their communication and problem-solving skills. It also aims to build friendship and support system among co-scholars. On behalf of OWWA XI Regional Director Ron Lionel Bartolome, Programs and Services Division Chief Carnelo Elaya delivered inspirational message to the scholars. He emphasized that the scholars of OWWA are unique and blessed because they are properly selected and screened. “We hope that you will learn more from this activity and you will become more responsible as children of OFWs,” Elaya said.

Meanwhile, Abadilla provided the participants with substancial inputs on team building for them to be able to demonstrate and practice the acquired knowledge and skills on their daily lives. Participants were also given workshops and various games to test their abilities in problem-solving and communiction skills. Among the games include: welded ankle; action, egg and ball relays; guiding the blind; and human knot. Through the games and workshop, the scholars were able to have closer bond with their co-scholars and able to express their ideas and concepts in problemsolving. The activity also served as a venue to share their experiences as children of overseas Filipino workers, helped them cope up with loneliness and longingness, and formed scholars organization in their respective schools. One of the scholars was Jhames Andrew Pason, son of a domestic worker in Hongkong. He said that the activity taught him the essence of communication and connection in order to build trust and learned the spirit of courage in order to win and to succeed. Another scholar who finds the activity so useful is Christel Baleros, sister of a domestic worker in Hongkong. “The activity gives me the best knowledge for me to become ready in the future. Honesty, camaraderie and happiness fill my heart today. We are so grateful to OWWA for giving us the opportunity to join in this memorable activity,” she said. (PR-OWWA XI)

The help of 4Ps in education

By AGALYN A. FRIANEZA Teacher III Minsapinit Elementary School Gingoog City

ONE of the main objectives outlined for 4Ps is to increase the enrolment of children in primary, secondary and kindergarten schooling. The conditionality states that all child beneficiaries must have an 85 percent attendance rate at school. Compliance is extremely high. The beneficiaries of 4Ps are the poor households who are instructed and expected to utilize the cash assistance specifically for educational purposes. There must be a marked decrease in child labor, one of the original aims of 4Ps. As a consequence, the retention rate of elementary schools actually decreased in some cases

down to zero percent. Retention rate refers to the number of students who need to repeat the year. Thus, this reduction is an exceptionally favorable outcome. Parents also reported an increase in access to health care and education has improved the prospects for their children’s future. Another research was conducted and the finding was that 4Ps has significant impact on pupils’ education based on its beneficiary conditionalities, is able and motivated to attend classes because of adequate school supplies, satisfied meals, parasiticfree stomach and supportive and active parents. Yet another study revealed that 4Ps contributed greatly to the school’s performance indicators.

Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana asking explaination about the implementation of ‘lockdown’ in Marawi City despite the lifting of Martial Law. “We are writing to you because we thought after the lifting of Martial Law, we can regain our normal life back with less restrictions and fears but unfortunately we are told that the “lockdown” from 10:00pm to 4:00am (is) being implemented in Marawi and Lanao Del Sur,” he wrote. He wrote that while they, as residents of Marawi, have nothing against Presidential Proclamation 55 or the extensive coordination among government security forces to suppress lawlessness and violence, they do not understand “why a place like Marawi, of which more than half of it’s residents are displaced, need the lockdown”. “Half of our city is a ghost area,” Lininding added. Cuerpo explained that when lockdown is in effect, no one is allowed to get in and out of the place and it is implemented indefinitely while the curfew is being observed in a specific period of time. “During curfew hours, one can get in or out if in emergency cases or when there is

prior coordination with the security forces,” Cuerpo said. Zia Alonto Adiong, a member of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority, said even if martial law in Mindanao has been lifted, curfews and checkpoints may still be implemented. Adiong said the lifting of martial law in Mindanao is very important because it would only mean that the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus or warrantless arrests of suspected rebels and terrorists would no longer be allowed.

Adiong is confident that with the lifting of martial law, Mindanao can rebuild its reputation and economy which took a deep. “If you have business, you would not invest in an area without a stable peace and order situation,” Adiong said. President Duterte declared Martial Law in Mindanao in 2017 when government forces and the local group of Dawlah Islamiya clashed and the fivemonth war happened. The congress first extended the declaration to December

31, 2018 when it was about to expire in December 31, 2017 and extended it again in December 31 last year. The implementation of Martial Law allows authorities to arrest suspected rebels or criminals without a warrand and charge them within three days according to the 1989 Philippine constitution. While the President “may only declare martial law in cases of rebellion, invasion or if public safety requires it, the Congres may extend or cut short such declaration.

In an interview with reporters, Adiong admitted he committed the crime because he was drunk. He was brought to the police crime laboratory for drug testing. Police is awaiting the result. The victim, who kept on crying with blood all over her private parts and legs, was brought to a hospital in Iligan. Gere said, the physician advised the family to admit the child while waiting for the medical result. “Nakalibang man gud ang bata, dunay mga samad sa iyang private parts, kinahanglan pa obserbaran, bisan paman nga stable na iyang condition,” Gere said.

from page 4 in rich countries while we cannot even supply for our basic staples like rice and milk as these are heavily imported. As conclusion by development experts, “extractivism is directly connected to the notion of sacrifice zones – places that, to their extractors, somehow don’t count and therefore can be poisoned, drained or otherwise destroyed.” Indeed, that’s the mindset of the colonizers and now that our country is neo-colony by the super rich businessmen and oligarchs, it seems that such conclusion has some bearings.

Monday, January 6, 2020 Who will be a countervailing force to correct such oppressive economic paradigm? Well, it is cooperativism as its DNA is that of being members-owned, value-based and sustainable! Yes, we aim for development that is prosperous, socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable. Enough is enough of extractivism that has oppressed our people and drained our natural resources. Cooperativism is the liberating force – for people, planet, prosperity and peace, All for the greater glory of our Creator, the Unseen Being that is now calling to us in the face of cataclysmic threats of climate change.

Firm...

from page 1 operating in 2010, currently provides potable water to about 2,300 water consumers in the villages of Lumbia, Taguanao, and Baikingon. On Thursday, KESC entered into a joint venture agreement (JVA) with the Mindanao Cooperatives Water Service Foundation (MCWS) allowing the two entities to further expand their services to other highland barangays and neighboring towns. Lasmarias said the issue stemmed from the alleged desire of Lumbia’s incumbent local officials, headed by chairman Alexander Torralba, to have a new firm take over the barangay’s water system. “They (Lumbia barangay officials) want a new player to take control and manage the water system in Lumbia,” he told reporters during a press conference following the JVA signing. Lasmarias said the local officials allegedly resorted to harassing the KESC personnel and fencing the premises around the water provider’s wells. He also alleged the barangay council started collecting payments from water consumers, which Lasmarias said is considered as illegal since KESC has not authorized the local government to collect on their behalf. In return, KESC filed for a temporary restraining order before a local court to stop the barangay officials and their supporters from taking any further action against the company. On Nov. 19, 2019, Judge Bonifacio Macabaya, the presiding judge of the Region Trial Court Branch 20, issued a writ of preliminary injunction to stop respondents from disrupting the day-to-day operations of KESC, including the receiving of payments from water consumers

and other actions detrimental to the water provider. Lasmarias said the Lumbia barangay council wanted to terminate the contract the previous local government unit administration signed with KESC. “They just cannot terminate the contract since it will expire on 2028,” Lasmarias said, adding that they have secured the necessary permits from the city government and the National Water Resources Board. He said both parties have reached the mediation level and KESC hopes the issues will be resolved. “Let’s wait for the court to decide,” he added. As of this posting, Lumbia officials could not be reached for comment. But since 2019, residents were said to be angry at KESC when it was planning to impose a PHP300 per 10 cubic meter increase of water consumption, from its original PHP168 per cubic meter without public consultation and for providing poor services since it started nine years ago.

Prime Minister Murad is now gradually firing ARMM Civil Service Passers permanent employees and replacing them majority are from MILF. In committee hearing before RA 11054 Congress approval it was been discussed that if BARMM government will observe the CIVIL SERVICE CODE. Sulu PGO is also ready to provide legal jobs and as well as legal support together with the and LCE’s are expected to sign a petition LCEs to support ARMM fired employees and it will be file to to Civil Service Commission and even to the Judicial court. But Gov. Tan admitted that they cannot govern and cannot fully deliver the basic services to Tausug people without the help of line agencies and in need much the help of National Government. And until now SULU is still waiting Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s (PPRD’s) directive to Department of Agriculture and Department of Finance last September 13,2018 cabinet meeting to immediately implement the barter trade system Zambasulta the areas which used to trade with neighbouring Sabah. Sulu is one of those provinces, if ever PPRD’s directive will be implemented it will be a revival of Sulu’s center of barter trade which will uplift more the socio-economic status of Lupah Sug. And Hadji Buto School of Arts and Trade will be one of the beneficiaries and will be rehabilitated. (Shammah Yana Sunga-Abbas Freelance MB)
