LIANGA, Surigao del Sur—Some 2,000 Manobo lumads from nine hinterland communities of this town fled their homes anew fearing an imminent military operation after they saw a military helicopter hovering around their villages past Wednesday midnight. Bishop Modesto Villasanta, of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines who chairs the human rights group

Karapatan in Surigao del Sur, said the displaced residents are now seeking refuge at Simowao Tribal Community School in the sub village of Emerald. The lumad evacuees have planned to move to safer area as their evacuation center either at the Barangay Hall of Diatagon or at the oval grounds of the provincial sports complex in Tandag City where they used to stay there for a year until September 1 last year. Classes were also disrupted

affecting some 800 students and 43 volunteer teachers from Alternative Learning Center for Agricultural and Livelihood Development (ALCADEV) and five other neighboring lumad schools run by the Tribal Filipino Program of Surigao del Sur . Villasanta said Karapatan and the Friends of Lumad in Caraga will meet with Gov. Vicente Pimentel at the provincial capitol to ask his permission to allow the lumad evacuees See flee, page 11

Steag ordered to pay P.4B taxes or ‘get out’ By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

CAGAYAN de Oro City-The Steag State Power Inc. (SPI), a coal-fired power plant in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental, is one among the 80 private companies in Misamis Oriental economic

zone ordered to settle a total back taxes amounting to more than P2 billion or “leave.” The Philippine Veterans Investment Development Corporation (Phividec) has issued the order Friday for STEAG and the other companies to “pay up or get out”

of the Phividec Industrial Estate in Misamis Oriental (PIE-MO), the only industrial economic zone in Northern Mindanao, that host to about 80 industrial companies. In a talk with the local media, Benjo Benaldo, a member of the Board of

Directors of the Phivedec (PIE-MO), said that he has a marching order to implement the collection of the back taxes against STEAG and several other companies in the industrial zone. Benaldo said that among the existing big companies who owed back taxes to the

national government totaling P1,064,720,370.07 are the 220 megawatts STEAG coal-fired power plant, the Mindanao International Container Terminal, Inc. (MICT), and the Philippine Sintering Corporation. The STEAG coal-fired power plant, the Mindanao

International Container Terminal, Inc., (MICT) and the Philippine Sintering Corp., all private companies located in the Phivedec Industrial Economic Zone in Misamis Oriental (PIEMO) owes the government a total of P1,064,720,370.07 See TAXES, page 11

CAGAYAN de Oro City--A 71-year-old man died while 500 others were admitted to provincial hospitals as the provincial government of Misamis Oriental declared Friday an outbreak of “diarrhea” in the coastal town of Medina, 112 kilometers east of here. Reports have quoted Dr. Jerie Calingasan, the provincial health officer, as saying that about 400 individuals have suffered See diarrhea, page 11

and 132 city and town mayors of police deputation powers on the ground that the local executives were engaged in “acts inimical to the national security and providing material support to the criminal elements.” Provincial Governor Dimaporo was among the seven provincial governors stripped of the deputation powers along with 22 other town mayors in Lanao Del Norte. Dimaparo denounced the Napolcom resolution as biased to Muslim officials in Mindanao since most of the affected provinces, cities and municipal towns were run by elected Muslim officials. “The Napolcom is biased NAPOLCOM BROUHAHA.

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Twenty-two town mayors in Lanao Del Norte led by provincial governor Imelda Quibranza Dimaporo decried the National Police Commissions (Napolcom) resolution stripping them of police powers as biased and unfounded. In a press conference here, Dimaporo said that the local government unit in Lanao del Norte would submit a resolution Monday asking the Napolcom to review the resolution to possibly lift the order of withdrawal of the deputation in Lanao Del Norte and its town mayors.

Explosive, rifles seized from wanted BIFF commander

SHARIFF AGUAK, Maguindanao--A sub-commander of the outlawed Moro armed group eluded joint police and military law enforcement operations in Datu Hofer but authorities seized high powered guns and grenade from his home, police said. Senior Supt. Agustin Tello, Maguindanao police director, said lawmen armed with search warrants for murder, multiple murder, bombings and extortion when they raided the house of Kareem Falcon, alias Commander Falcon, in Barangay Tuayan, Datu Hofer town in Maguindanao Saturday dawn. But the suspect was not in his home when the lawmen swooped down at past 4 a.m. Tello said the raiding team recovered a hand grenade, an improvised Armalite rifle, magazine and ammunition from Falcon’s home. Two sachets of suspected shabu were also recovered, Tello said. Tello said Falcon was involved in a rash of killings, robbery and extortion in Maguindanao, preying even on poor Muslim villagers during harvest season. The police official said Falcon was the leader of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) See seized, page 11

clearly known, said Bolanio, who was one of the barangay officials invited as witness when law enforcement and military operatives raided the apartment unit rented by a certain Irene Romato Idris. Idris is allegedly related to Ominta “Farhana” Romato Maute, the matriarch of the leaders of the Maute terrorist group, the brothers Omarkhayam and Abdullah. Chief Inspector Mardy Hortillosa, the city police spokesperson, said Idris is a close relative of Farhana and may have assumed the matriarch’s position as the Maute Group’s financier when she was arrested in Lanao del Sur last month. Farhana’s husband, Cayamora Maute, was also arrested in Davao City recently. Other members of the Maute Group, one of them Mohammad Noaim Maute, also known as Abu Jadid and Alfaiz Mamintal, were also caught by law enforcers in Macasandig last June 15. Three others were nabbed in a port in Iloilo City last month. Members of the Maute and Abu Sayyaf groups have been fighting the military in Marawi City since May 23. During the raid, authorities, led by the Criminal Investigation and Detection

Group (CIDG) did not arrest Idris, who was not around at the time, but instead nabbed Gazim Mantawazi Abdullah, Monaliza Solaiman Romato, and Tahera Romato Taher, who were inside one of the apartment units in Aluba, Macasandig, at the time. The raiding team had with them a search warrant issued by Judge Dennis Alcantar, who ordered a sweep of the apartment unit on suspicion that Idris has in her possession an M16 rifle, a .45 caliber pistol, and undetermined number of ammunition. What the police and military found in lieu of the firearms were items believed to be used in making improved explosive device (IED) including a blasting cap, a 9-volt battery, C4 explosive, detonating cords, and ammonium nitrate. In an interview with the media, Tahera denied they are members of the Maute Group and that the items were just “planted.” For his part, Bolanio said he was informed of the raid by the police shortly after the search warrant was served early Wednesday morning. Bolanio said the raiding team only entered the apartment unit rented

Decision on visa-free entry for Filipinos to Taiwan known soon THE Taiwanese government is expected to make a formal announcement in September indicating the exact date of the visa-free entry for Filipinos to Taiwan. This was the statement made by Taiwan’s representative to the Philippines and head of the Taipei Economic Cooperation Office (TECO) Dr. Gary Song-Huann Lin during the 2017 Taiwan Tourism Workshop held at the New World Manila Bay Hotel Wednesday (July 5). It may be recalled that the Taiwan government earlier announced its plans to ease the entrance of Filipinos into Taiwan through its visa-liberalization initiatives. However, Lin said the Taiwan government will only make an announcement once all preparations have been completed. Reports showed that the Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs earlier postponed the visa-free entry initially set for June due to some technical problems. During the workshop, the Taiwan Tourism Bureau in cooperation with the TECO, showcased Taiwan’s latest tourism See TAIWAN, page 11

Duterte to extend ML in Mindanao indefinitely Former village Chief William Guialani’s intention to file an anti-graft charges against officials of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) in Northern Mindanao could become a game changer. Guialani accused the DILG of “dereliction of duty” in the performance of its mandate when it failed to serve the dismissal order against Cagayan De Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno. The DILG reportedly received the order dismissing Moreno from the Office of the Ombudsman, an antigraft court, on June 29, 2017. The case stemmed from the anti-graft complaint filed against Moreno and

cases filed with the Ombudsman would give the DILG officials in Northern Mindanao a chance to clear themselves of doubt as part of the “players” of Moreno. Indeed, Mayor Moreno seems to enjoy the liberty of getting away dismissal orders of the Office of the Ombudsman. Himself a lawyer, Moreno knows how “due process” works. While Moreno always find legal ways to parry the dismissal orders of the Ombudsman, perhaps, it would be another thing to get away with the Sandiganbayan, the court that criminally hears graft cases against public officials. Filing a criminal anti-

In other words, while Moreno gets away with the dismissal order, courtesy of the TRO and the subsequent writ of preliminary injunction, Moreno still faces criminal charges with the Sandiganbayan.

All about Mindanao

THE fight against the terrorists in Marawi City must go on until the last man standing on the side of the Maute group and its allies drop to the ground dead. This particular battle is far off different from that with the New People’s Army (NPA) in the sense that the latter is about ideology and change of government system. Our government may sit down with the communists and discuss the issues involved, then shake hands and be united once more. The Maute just needs cash and power and hop from one place to another while getting more men to strengthen itself. It is pure and simple criminality just like those committed by ordinary bandits, robbers,

thieves and the like in busy downtown streets. Police power in northern Mindanao should be strengthened full blast as international terrorism is believed to be in the country. What is happening in the troubled Middle East might take place in our area while we are not ready to throw them to the rivers. We need more men in uniform, ready and willing to fight the aggressors in case they come. All towns in Lanao del Norte and Sur as well as the provinces of Misamis Oriental and Occidental, Bukidnon, Agusan and Surigao should be ready to respond any time of day. These places are ours and we must be able to defend them successfully. We can-

not run. There is no option but to fight and win. The threat of the Maute group to invade Cagayan de Oro might still be part of its plan. We have to be prepared before we swim to our defeat. We should be aware that the style of the Maute group is to terrorize groups of people like the prisoners to join them in its crusade. This is the reason why the Maute is getting more vigors and firepower to indulge in heavy fighting. The siege in Marawi is one concrete example that made the military some kind of difficulties ending the fight as it entered its sixth weeks. This is quite surprising because our soldiers are strong, but has suffered numerous deaths in the

process. The enemy knows how to fight too aided by the international group of terrorists who appears to be highly professionalized in warfare. •••••• I find it very regrettable that the city of Cagayan de Oro is once more the site of political skirmishes.

To my mind, if the outer order is true and ready to be served to Moreno, the best thing is to watch the lawful proceedings via the court. We should not resist or prevent it by mass action or we expose ourselves contempt of court for the disruption of justice. If we must exercise our rights as guaranteed by the Constitution, let us do it with fineness within the framework of legal procedure. My apprehension is based on the possibility that Moreno might be able to get a temporary restraining order from the higher court and it would result to multiplicity of incidents if we go into action before all remedies are exhausted. •••••• While Mindanao has become a killing field in the country, it is still a beautiful

thousands of evacuees. Of course, there are difficulties involved, but the display of affection towards the Marawi residents in need is just fantastic. Unwittingly, it showed Filipinos can exist in all kinds of environment. I admire so much the gesture and I hope things will soon be normal.

place for Mindanoans. Once the disorder caused by the terrorists is ended, the island can propel itself towards progress and development. The place is rich with natural resources, green forests, virgin lands waiting to be toiled and beautiful lakes and rivers. I am really hurt that some Mindanaoans are making a fool out of the beauty and grandeur of the island to show their stupidity and desire to rule. People will always resist no matter how to preserve peace and contentment on the island. I predict though that it will not take long and everything will be at peace with one another. Long live Mindanao. I reiterate my position that the battle in Marawi should go on until terrorism is defeated. The issue is non negotiable because we cannot live side by side with terrorists. I’d rather sleep with witches and vampires who can be friendly during the day. Terrorists will watch our moves and strike when they find it appropriate. I urge President Rody Duterte to give extra mileage in the fight against the evil of terrorism. Pour in more funds and put up more fighting men to end all resistance and power of

Bayan Muna asks all ERC commissioners to resign For not protecting consumers... BAYAN Muna Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate said recently that it will serve well the scandal-wracked Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) if all its commissioners resign now considering the numerous anomalies and issues of graft and corruption being leveled at the commission. “One of the most controversial among these deals is the midnight deal on seven (7) power supply agreements (PSA) of Meralco-affiliated power generation companies which would largely benefit Meralco. The ERC issued the anomalous extension of the deadline requiring competitive bidding in the power supply agreements (PSA) of distribution utilities (DUs),” said the progressive solon. “The extended deadline, as proposed by Commissioner Josefina Magpale-Asirit, allowed Meralco to enter into EXTRA-JUDICIAL PARTITION WITH DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE Notice is hereby given that the intestate estate of the deceased MARTINIANO GALVEZ, who died on ___________ at __________; that the said deceased left no debts and no will or testament, but left a property which is more particularly described as follows: ORIGINAL CERIFICATE OF TITLE NO.

Is the subject of EXTRA-JUDICIAL PARTITION WITH DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE; made and entered by and among; JAY V. GALVEZ, NOEL V. GALVEZ, KING ANTHONY G. GALVEZ, RYAN G. GALVEZ, ANTONIO G.

“sweetheart PSA deals” with its seven (7) sister and affiliated companies,” he added. “Dahil dito hinayaang maging monopolyo at matali sa Meralco ang mga konsyumers for the next 20-25 years ng walang bidding. The extension effectively rendered the competitive selection process (CSP) useless and inutile,” said the Davao-based solon. Meanwhile, ERC Chair Jose Vicente Salazar is also facing charges of corruption that supposedly drove then ERC Dir. Jun Villa to commit suicide last November. “As it is, they have failed to safeguard of the welfare of electricity consumers and power rate hikes are not being stopped by the ERC. While Congress is now investigating the anomalies in the ERC and bills to replace the onerous Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) the ERC should be manned by people with integrity and competence to protect consumers,” ended Rep. Zarate. Recently, the National Multisectoral Coalition Sanlakas filed a graft complaint against some officials of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) in relation to Meralco’s power supply

agreements. The group is accusing four ERC commissioners of deliberately adjusting rules and implementation of the competitive selection process (CSP). This has favored distribution utilities including Meralco. “It should have been implemented in November 2015 but by March 2016, allegedly since the distribution facilities wrote to them, it was suspended and the implementation was extended. It was suspended

until April 30 of last year,” Sanlakas Secretary-General Atty. Aaron Pedrosa said. The group also argued that under DOE/ERC Resolution No. 13, all power requirements of all distribution utilities were to be procured by competitive bidding starting November 2015. However, no such process happened because of the adjustment of CSP rules. “There should have public bidding, meaning, it should have been transparent to be sure that the power to be

Since then, several activities were conducted in Davao City, like the goodwill games and the city tour. From Davao, the teams will proceed to Indonesia with a stopover in Balut Island in Sarangani, Davao Occidental on Friday, July 7, for a medical and dental mission in collaboration with the local government unit. Reyes said the coordinated patrol will culmi-

nate on July 12 in a closing ceremony in Manado, Indonesia. Reyes said NFEM will use the navy ship Ramon Alcaraz during the coordinated patrol. Part of the activity, he said, is the Visit, Board, Search and Secure and light maneuver. Eastmincom spokesperson Maj. Ezra Balagtey said the coordinated patrol is covered by a border agreement since 1975. The event this year is already the 31st coordinated patrol. This time, Balagtey said, it will become more strengthened because of the common problem of terrorism. PNA

to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance.” And His disciples answered Him, “Where will anyone be able to find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?” And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you have? These people stayed with Jesus day and night

for three days, no doubt enjoying his messages as well as expecting to see miracles. The people who followed Jesus were out of supply for their survival. Jesus saw their situation in life and their personal needs. This is Jesus whom I preach every now and then who can see our necessities in life. He has never changed. Hebrews 3:8”Jesus Christ

Segregation of Waste at the Source By MARIFE B. VICOY ESP-2

“Everything is connected to everything else” is often called the First Law of Ecology. Helping human society to prosper in the 21st century requires that, to recognize the importance of living in balance with our physical environment and treating each other with dignity and equity. The last decade has seen a surge of interest in ecological awareness. It’s no longer a secret that pesticides are harmful both to humans and the environment, giving rise to the organic movement. It’s now widely known that we produce far too much waste and that industry has damaged much of the planet’s natural resources. The increase in waste affects the environment, and there are high costs associated with its disposal. In the past, we simply threw things away, with little care or concern for where it might go. Now, with images of oceans of landfills fresh in mind, more people are concerned about what they consume, the packaging that is used, and how easily it can be reused or recycled. Solid waste is an unavoidable byproduct of human activities. Solid waste may be regarded as any reject material resulting from domestic activity and industrial operations for which there is no economic demand and thus must be disposed. Sustainability of solid waste management is a current challenge in our society today. With rapid growth of both population and economy in urban areas, the amount of waste increases every year and its management has become problematic. Waste is merely carried to collection points and is then buried in disposal sites. As a result, bad smells and pollution of the air, soil and water are already affecting the health of residents and ecosystems. Ecological awareness

changes our behavior. As we become more aware of these concerns, our responsibility for the planet increases. Habits change as what’s “easy” or “convenient” is often sacrificed for what’s sustainable. After all, if we all did what was “easy,” how long would it take before the planet became unlivable? With ecological awareness, new habits emerge like: composting as much as possible, learning about the 4Rs (reduction, reuse, recycling and recovery) waste segregation and becoming diligent about it. Recycling plays an important role in waste management strategies, diverts materials that have recycle value to produce new products and it can indirectly reduce quantities of waste. Recycling is one of the easiest and most environmentally friendly ways to organization greening process. Segregation of recyclable waste means to separate the waste which have recycle value from the other waste in order to have higher level of recycle rate and to reduce volume of waste. Well equipped of recycling bins in an area can motivate initial recycling levels. The greater the accessibility of the recycle bins, the higher the likelihood that everybody could practice wastes segregation behavior. Proper waste segregation must be institutionalized in schools. Educating our school children and the entire school community as well, would be of great help in reducing if not eliminating the huge volume of wastes collected from schools. Let us take our part in taking good care of Mother Earth. We have only one planet to live in and to care for. It’s better to do proper waste disposal now before its too late. Let’s inculcate to the hearts and minds of our school children the eminence of segregating our waste at the source, our own little way of respecting, loving and caring Mother Nature!

Palanca winners must be introduced to junior high By DIVINA B. PAHAGANAS

IN my opinion, Palanca winners must be introduced to junior high students more often if we are to enhance our cultural influence. During my ERRATUM The Notice of Applicant LYNDON C.

the prestigious Nobel Awards and thus its winners are also the crème dela crème of literature in the country. The Palanca Awards was established in 1950 to commemorate the memory of Carlos Palanca Sr. An entrepreneurphilanthropist, Palanca was a patron of schools and instilled in his children the value of education. His children decided it was fitting that his name be commorated in an endeavor that would help enrich the country’s cultural heritage. Thus, the Carlos Palanca Memorial

Awards for Literature was established in 1950. The Palanca Awards has been a continuing touchstone in Philippine literature with most of the great writers having ended up on their illustrious roster. The Palanca Awards aims to develop Philippine literature by providing incentives for writers to craft their most outstanding literary works, by being a treasury of the Philippine’s literary gems from our gifted writers and to assist in their eventual dissemination to our people particularly students.

to the national government. The STEAG co a lfired power plant owes t h e n at i o n a l g ov e r n ment in taxes amounting to P447,212,139.85, MICT P342,438,335.33, Philippine Sinter Corp. P131,442,768.66 or a total of P1,064,720,370.07, Benaldo said. According to Benaldo, the amount of P1 billion could mean 1,000 barangay health centers, 2,000 classrooms, 2,500 housing units, or 1,000,000 beneficiaries of the government’s livelihood programs. He said that including the coal-fired power plant, the sintering plant, and the container port, about 80 other companies [some no longer operate] in the PIE-MO have outstanding unpaid taxes of more than P2 billion. “Initially, we would explore the legal implications of the matter with the company before we will take the necessary action. If after exhausting all legal means, the companies still refused to pay the taxes, then we would advise them to get out of the Phividec,” Benaldo said. The Phividec, created on August 13, 1974 by Presidential Decree 538 as amended by PD 1491, is owned and controlled corporation of the government of the Republic of the Philippines. Benaldo said that under the charter, the PIE-MO mandates the government to “levy, assess, and collect real property tax on real properties within the industrial economic zone. He said that 50 percent of the tax collected would be remitted to the national government treasury to build infrastructure, build hospitals, construct roads, buy medicines, provide education and livelihood.

temporary stay once more at the oval. He said the displaced villagers have just started rebuilding their farms, homes and schools after they, along with 17 other lumad communities, were forced to evacuate for a year in Tandag City after the killing of their two leaders in the sub village of Hanayan where the ALCADEV school is located. The two tribal leaders, Dionel Campos, chairperson of Malahutayong Pakigbisog Alang sa Sumusunod (MAPASU) and ALCADEV Executive Director Emerito Samarca were gunned down in the massacre in September 1, 2015 believed to be perpetrated by militiamen who were accompanying operating troops of the 75th Infantry Battalion (75IB). According to the reports relayed by the lumad evacuees, Army troopers belonging to 75IB, 36th Infantry Battalion and 6th

Special Forces Battalion have been conducting military operations in the lumad communities in Lianga, San Migue and San Agusatin towns since Monday. A stricter military checkpoint was placed in front of the military detachment in Post 1, in the village of Diatagon requiring residents and visitors to the schools to show their ID or write their names in a logbook as part of the Martial Law in Mindanao. Col. Franco Nemesio Gacal, commanding officer of the 402nd Army Brigade based in Tandag City, however explained to local mediamen in an interview on Thursday that the military chopper was just passing by the sub village in Han-ayan not hovering around them as the lumad evacuees claimed since the area is a normal part of their route. He also said the Army patrol base in Diatagon has been there for a long time that the checking of people passing by the area is just normal standard operating schedule.

from the illness in at least four villages, namely, North Poblaction, South Poblacion, Cabug, and Maanas. Freitchie L. Virtudazo , the spokesperson of the municipal town of Medina, identified the fatality as Alfonso Magallanes, 71, who died while undergoing treatment at the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) in Cagayan de Oro. The identity of the other fatality was not immediately known. She said that as of 7:00 a.m. Friday, the municipal government has already tallied a total of 400 diarrhea victims prompting the local government unit (LGU) to officially declare an outbreak of diarrhea in the town. Virtudazo said that the LGU has called for volunteers to assist the victims as more town peoples were deployed to investigate and find out the possible causes of the diarrhea outbreak. “The report about the diarrhea started June 29, 2017, but the LGU became suspicious because the number of the reported victims has grown in number since then,” Virtudazo said. Misamis Oriental Governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano ordered the medical staff of the Provincial Health Office (PHO) to be alert following the declaration of diarrhea outbreak Friday. He said that medicines such as such, as metronidazole, paracetamol, cotrimoxazole, Oresol and Waterine, a liquid solution for drinking water, among others, had been dispatched to the Medina Rural Health Unit (RHU). Water analysis Samples of the town’s water supply had already been collected and brought to the health department’s

Monday, July 10, 2017 Norte is not after the deputation because the provincial government can operate without being deputized. “However, what really pains and frustrates us is the allegation in the Napolcom resolution, which tends to destroy our [local executives] credibility as partners in the government’s fight against lawlessness and the local terrorists,” Dimaporo said. “It is unfortunate that our efforts in Lanao del Norte for more than 30 years to maintain peace and order was put to naught by the sweeping, unfounded and baseless withdrawal of our deputization over the PNP by the Napolcom,” she added. Rep. Khalid Dimaporo, of Lanao Del Norte, said that his staff is preparing a resolution to ask Congress to conduct a probe to find out the basis of the Napolcom resolution. He said that the Napolcom resolution tends to drive a wedge between the police and the local executives at a time when we need to be working with each other as partners against terror threats. Dimaporo , who also served as Lanao del Norte provincial governor prior to his election as Congressman, said that Lanao Del Norte has done everything to prevent the escalation of the ongoing Marawi conflict. “The town mayors in the borders of Lanao del Norte could no longer sleep since the Marawi conflict erupted last May 23 for fear that the conflict would spill over to the neighboring towns,” Dimaporo said. Dimaporo said that despite the ongoing armed conflict in the neighboring city of Marawi in Lanao del Sur, the peace and order situation in the province of Lanao del Norte has remained stable. He said that the Napolcom resolution has frustrated the local government units in Lanao del Norte as a reliable partner of the government in addressing the possible effects of the Marawi siege to its neighboring cities and provinces. “What Napolcom did was despicable. I will ask Congress to let Napolcom explain why they included our province in their resolution that tainted the image of the Province of Lanao del Norte, and we will also present our evidence that our province has been supporting the government fight against illegal drugs and are doing our part in doing counter-terrorism efforts,” Rep. Khalid Dimaporo, former Regional Development Council of Region 10, said. For his part, Second District Representative Abdulla “Bobby” Dimaporo said he smells dirty politics behind including Lanao del Norte province in the resolution. from page 1 Rep. Bobby Dimaporo Mindanao,” Dimaporo suspected a political foe said. who is now an assistant She said that Lanao del secretary in the DILG could regional office here for analysis. Dr. Maria Alma Enriquez, the municipal health officer, said in an interview that they are still waiting for the result of the water analysis. She said the municipal water utility, the Medina Rural Water Works Sanitation Cooperative, has also conducted flushing of its pipelines and chlorination. A report from the Philippine Information Agency said the Provincial Health Office has already sent medicines such as metronidazole, paracetamol, cotrimoxazole, oresol and waterine to Medina. Enriquez said many of the residents have complained of stomach pains and loose bowel movement and had to be admitted to the town hospital. Coliform bacteria Enriquez said that health officials suspected the town’s potable water source in Barangay Kibuntod to have been contaminated with the coliform bacteria. Enriquez said that some victims suffered stomach pains while some have difficulties in standing due to severe pain. But not all of them were admitted to hospitals because some decided to stay home. She said the Medina Rural Water Works Sanitation Cooperative is currently undergoing flashing of the pipelines and chlorination. She asked public to boil first the water from the faucets before drinking. The municipal doctor asked the people in Medina to first boil the tap water before drinking to ensure that the water is safe and clean. Not diarrhea According to sources, two persons have already died, but not because of diarrhea, although they were afflicted with the illness. A town official, who agreed to talk on condition of anonymity, said the two individuals have suffered from heart disease. One of the patients, the source said, had diarrhea, but he died from cardiac arrest after a medical staff member at the municipal hospital injected him with medication. “He had a rheumatic heart and had a fear of syringes. His hypertension was triggered when he was injected with medication. That could be the reason for his death,” the source said. Another source said the situation is not as tense as when the outbreak occurred last week as several of the patients had already felt better and had checked out of the medical facility, although there were few who were recently admitted. “ Two p ers ons were admitted last Friday,” the source said.

Decry...

be behind it. He did not mention who, but Napolcom, he said, is under the control and supervision of the DILG. Rep. Bobby Dimaporo branded the Napolcom resolution as full of “bias and discrimination against Muslims,” even as he questioned why only Muslim provinces with Muslim governors were included in the resolution if one of the reasons for the stripping of their powers is purportedly the threat from terrorism. League of Municipal Mayors of Lanao del Norte president Lala Mayor Allan Lim said the mayors of LDN have been employing and exercising initiatives to address the huge issue of security and threat from terrorism, especially those towns within the boundary of LDN and Lanao del Sur, which Marawi City belongs. Yet, these efforts have been set aside by the Napolcom in its resolution, which included the peaceful, orderly and progressive LDN province.

developments. The workshop featured a “Travel Mart” and presentations from different Taiwanese and Filipino partner institutions, followed by a dinner and program to cap off the festivities. L in, in his sp eech, emphasized the growing relationship between the Philippines and Taiwan and how tourism can boost this relationship to even greater heights. He stated that both nations tend to overlook each other over the years despite its geographical closeness, only being separated by a two-hour flight. “It is time for the Philippines and Taiwan to beef up our traditionally longstanding friendship,” Lin said. Along with the recently implemented “New Southbound Policy” which tops the Philippines on the priority list, Lin said that he believed that these actions will help strengthen the two countries’ “comprehensive relationship” along with the ASEAN nations, New Zealand, Australia, and the South Asian Nations. Moreover, he said that through these joint efforts the two countries will not only enhance trade and i nve st me nt s , but a ls o strengthen exchanges of culture, education, people to people, and including tourism. “…This is the best time for our two nations to partner together,” he added, assuring that his office and the Taiwanese government, will always extend welcome hands for their Filipino brothers and sisters. More than 60 participants, including delegations from Taiwan, are attending the 2017 Travel Madness Expo (TME) now being held at the SMX Convention Center in Manila from

July 6 to 9. Guests visiting the Taiwan booth will be given a taste of what to expect when visiting Taiwan such as multiple performances and activities like nail painting, acrobatics, balloon artists, cotton candy making, a variety of food tastings among others. (Azer N. Parrocha/ PNA)

by Idris when he, Kagawad Eric Waban and a team from a TV network arrived. He said he saw the black bag containing the items in the corner of the room where the suspects used to sleep. During the search, Bolanio said he managed to take photos and videos of the suspects and the items. “When the bag was taken, (Taher) denied it is theirs,” he told reporters, adding that he also heard her say the items were “planted.” He said Taher even asked the law enforcers not to handcuff them as they were escorted out of the gated apartment. Bolanio said they did not expect that a group of alleged members of the Maute Group has taken up residence in Macasanding since the apartment they were renting is just beside the road. Even the neighbors are not aware of the suspects’ presence. Carlita, a resident living nearby, said she even saw on several occasions Monaliza and Tahera buying fruits and vegetables at a neighborhood store selling food items. Bolanio said he did not accompany the suspects to the CIDG regional office inside the Army’s 4th Infantry Division headquarters at Camp Evangelista in Barangay Patag.

Speaking to reporters, Tello said Falcon has also separate warrant of arrest for his alleged involvement in the 2009 Maguindanao massacre in Ampatuan, Maguindanao that left 58 people killed, including 30 journalists. He may have eluded arrest but police filed charges for illegal possession of firearms and explosives and illegal drugs so another warrant will be out for him. Meanwhile, another band of BIFF briefly clashed Saturday afternoon with government forces in Barangay Kilalan, Talitay, Maguindanao, an Army spokesperson said. Elements of the Army’s 19th Infantry Battalion of the 603rd Infantry Brigade clashed with the BIFF forces under a certain Commander Abunawas. Nobody was injured in the clash but the Army believed it prevented the BIFF from getting closer to the national highway to conduct atrocities against government forces or civilian commuters.
