Lawyer in Misor gets life for drugs By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent

A LAWYER from Balingasag, Misamis Oriental was meted life imprisonment last July 5 by a regional trial court here. The lawyer was identified as Michael Roa of Barangay 5, Balingasag, Misamis Oriental. Roa - along with three others - were arrested in November 10, 2016 at his residence by agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) on the basis of a search warrant issued by Gingoog City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 43 Judge Mirabeaus Undalok. During the search, Roa and his companions Justine Mae Pundavela, John Rey Roa and Porferio Roa Jr. yielded one big plastic sachet, four medium-size plastic sachets, two elongated plastic sachets, two small plastic sachets and three open plastic sachets all containing white crystalline substance that was determined by the PDEA regional laboratory on the same day as the illegal substance methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu).

NEW lawmaker in the House of the Representatives and Senate Minority Leader Franklin M. Drilon have proposed to raise the basic salary of all public elementary and high school teachers to P30,000 regardless of their length of service. Rep. Precious HipolitoCastelo (2nd District, Quezon City) made the proposal through House Bill 1020. Hipolito-Castelo underscored that the country’s public school teachers are underpaid and undervalued, despite the Constitution stipulating that there must be the “highest budgetary priority to education and the guarantee that teaching will attract and retain its rightful share of the best available

talents through adequate remuneration and other means of job satisfaction and fulfillment.” Citing a growing bipartisan support for the measure, Drilon has expressed optimism that the increase in the salaries of public school teachers will finally make it through 18th Congress as he authored Senate Bill no. 19 which also seeks to set the entry-level See BILLS, page 11

DepEd works toward equitable, sustainable pay hike THE Department of Education (DepEd) has reaffirmed its commitment to work toward an equitable and sustainable salary increase for all teachers, amid the wide disparity between the basic salaries of teachers in public and private schools in the country. A study by Dr. Rosario Manasan, using data from the Philippine Statistics Authority’s (PSA) Labor Force Survey in 2016, showed that on the average, public school teachers earn 71% more

than private school teachers. The biggest salary gap between public and private school teachers can be seen in the then Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) at 158%. The same study noted that salaries in public school are “more stable and constant” across regions compared to private schools. The significant difference between the pay of public and private school teachers is just one of the

many fiscal impact that need to be considered and studied in determining the appropriate increase in compensation. However, Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones remained committed to uplifting the welfare of teachers and to working toward a pay hike that will help improve the economic condition not just of teachers but of government personnel in other sectors as well. /deped.gov.ph

24 Bukidnon ex-rebels receive E-CLIP Assistance BUKIDNON -- Twentyfour rebel returnees from the Province of Bukidnon receive financial assistance through the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) during the conduct of the Joint Region 10 Regional Development Council- Regional Peace and Order Council (RDC-RPOC) Meeting, June 28. This was done in the presence of PCOO Sec. Jose Ruperto Martin M. Andanar, DILG ASEC Manuel B. Felix, RPOC 10 Chairperson Mayor Oscar S. Moreno, Deputy Director General USEC Rufino S. Lopez, and DILG 10 Regional Director Arnel M. Agabe, among other dignitaries. Through E-CLIP, the surrenderees received financial assistance ranging from P15,000 to P105,000 , depending on the benefits they are entitled to claim. E-CLIP provides complete package of assistance to former rebels who were members of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), New People’s Army (NPA), and National Democratic Front (NDF), as well as their family members, who have surrendered to the government to abandon armed struggle and become productive members of the society. With this, DILG 10 RD Agabe said that the government urges for more rebels to surrender while incentives through the E-CLIP are still available. “I hope our rebels will grab this opportunity in starting a new life while the government is still providing financial assistance, including other necessary assistance which will be deemed necessary for them to improve the quality of their lives,” RD Agabe said. Further, he assured that, through the delivery of social services by various government agencies, the surrenderees together with their family, will benefit from it. (DILG10/PIA10)

Andaz Singapore launches first-ever ConcierGO program ANDAZ SINGAPORE is proud to be the first hotel in Singapore to launch the ConcierGO program with Vouch, supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) under the ‘Tourism Innovation Challenge for Hotels’. The ConcierGO program is a chatbot system designed to enhance and improve the overall guest experience through technology. To catalyse technology adoption for the tourism industry, STB launched the Tourism Innovation Challenge last year to crowdsource novel solutions that address the challenges and opportunities faced by hotel and travel agency industries.

CHATBOT will allow for instantaneous customer response, to assist with guests’ dining or room enquires 24/7

Andaz Singapore identified an increasing need to improve manpower productivity, and enhancing the service experience for guests by creating deeper one-to-one connections. To achieve this, Andaz Singapore partnered with Vouch to develop ConcierGO, a digital concierge system that functions as a chatbot with artificial intelligence (A.I) through the hotel’s Facebook

messenger account. The use of chatbots allows for instantaneous and personalized customer response, revolutionizing the customer service experience while using technology as a key to solve the manpower crunch and connect with guests. “Andaz Singapore has always believed in providing a fresh perspective for our guests. Being the first hotel in Singapore to implement

the chatbot onto our social media platforms, we are creating a barrier-less environment for us to engage with guests and potential guests alike,” says Olivier Lenoir, General Manager of Andaz Singapore. “In today’s connected world, chat represents the perfect way to build a lasting and engaging relationship with customers. More than half of today’s consumers expect to connect See PROGRAM, page 11

Unruffled

Jeers to traffic woes

CITY Councilor Roger Abaday, in his report before the City Council has acknowledged with serious concern the growing traffic problem of Cagayan de Oro. The city’s horrendous traffic, garbage that clogged drainage systems, and shanties that stood in waterways and even along narrow streets, all contribute in continuously pushing the city’s image as another Metro Manila in the making. With a few notches away of becoming a metropolitan city, Cagayan de Oro may be named as one of the most progressive yet stressful regional growth centers in the country, next only to Davao and Cebu. Metro Manila is ranked one of the most stressful cities in the world, stressful

than the besieged city of Damascus in Syria. Recent study shows that anxiety and stress have been pinpointed as key factors in the deterioration of mental health and quality of life in urban living. Manila is declared the 10th most stressful city in the world, whose rank was based on its density, green spaces, public transport, transport-congestion levels, and perception of security, pollution, finance, and people among others. The top 10 most stressful cities: Baghdad (Iraq) Kabul (Afghanistan) Lagos (Nigeria) Dakar (Senegal) Cairo (Egypt) Tehran (Iran) Dhaka (Bangladesh) Karachi (Pakistan) New Delhi (India) Manila (Philippines). The top 10 least stressful

cities: Stuttgart (Germany) Luxemborg (Luxemborg) Hannover (Germany) Bern (Switzerland) Munich (Germany) Bordeux (France) Edinburgh (UK) Sydney (Sydney) Hamburg (Germany) Graz (Austria). With near a million inhabitants, Cagayan de Oro is getting used to endless traffic with the unstoppable surge of all kinds of motor vehicles getting down after the other on narrow, substandard city streets. Massive urbanization has resulted to the construction of houses along the creeks, roads and even under bridges contributing considerably to the flooding problem of the city. Undoubtedly, Cagayan de Oro will become the fourth metropolitan center

Ruffy Magbanua

based on its population growth and functional role as major gateway and transshipment hub in Northern Mindanao. In addition, the city will continue to serve as key education center in Northern Mindanao. As pl an ne d, Me t ro Cagayan de Oro will consist of Cagayan de Oro City; Jasaan, Villanueva, Tagoloan, Claveria, Opol, El Salvador, Alubijid, Laguindingan and Gitagum in Misamis Oriental; See TRAFFIC, page 11

Think A Minute

Who’s your hero?

THINK a minute. One of the most famous Italians in the 20th century was Benito Mussolini, known to his people as Il Duce, which simply means The Leader. His charisma was almost like a movie star rather than a government leader, even though his charm was bathed in blood and violence. The popularity of Mussolini was truly phenomenal. He transformed Italy into a spectacular show of national pride, parades, military power, and music. Mussolini regularly stood on his balcony with thousands of people below cheering and worshipping him at the height of his power. Parents would hold their children up to see their mighty leader. To young men he seemed to be the

perfect example of a real man, fearless and tough; and to young women he represented both seduction and security in one. Italians, and even citizens of other countries, asked for the autograph of Mussolini the superstar. One of these fans sent Mussolini a photo hoping he would sign it, but he rejected his admirer’s request. However, Mussolini would likely have signed it had he known who this fan would become. For this young man who worshipped Mussolini as his hero did follow in his steps, until one day these two terrible dictators stood side by side: Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, two of the most evil leaders in all of history. We become, now and

forever, like the people we admire and want to be like. The great British author C.S. Lewis wrote: “It’s a serious thing to live in a world of possible gods and goddesses... All day long, in one way or another, we are helping each other become a person of great goodness or horrible evil… There are no ‘ordinary’ people. You have never talked to a mere ‘mortal’… Every person we meet, joke with, work with, marry, mistreat, and ignore will become either everlasting horrors of evil or everlasting heroes of godly nature and goodness.” So what kind of person do you want to become forever? Where do you want to live for all eternity: with God or without Him? In Heaven or in Hell? Remember, Jesus makes it crystal clear that we all

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

live forever since God created us in His likeness as living, eternal souls. The only person worthy of being your hero whom you worship and follow is your Creator, Savior, and Lord. Won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for living your wrong, sinful way? You must also ask Him to take full charge of your heart and daily way of living. It is the only way you can start becoming more like Him in your character for the rest of this life, and your eternal life after you die. Just think a minute.

Tawi-tawi gets 1st floating solar farm By LILYBETH ISON PNA

THE fishing island of Sibutu in Tawi-tawi Province will be the first fishing community with a floating solar farm to power ice-making and cold storage equipment, and serve as a fish convergence area or “Payao.” In a meeting on Monday with executives of Aboitiz Power led by Tristan Aboitiz and Regional Directors of the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) at the DA central office, Sibutu Island was unanimously chosen to be the site of the multifunction floating solar farm. The floating solar farm, a new technology employed by solar power generation companies so as to minimize the use of valuable lands, is now being introduced

in the Philippines by the Norwegian company SN Power in partnership with Aboitiz Power. The partner companies have established the first prototype in Magat Dam, Isabela which is capable of generating 200MW. DA Secretary Emmanuel

Allianz Sees Continuous Growth in Insurance Market in PH, Rest of Asia

WHILE insurance penetration (premiums as a percentage of GDP) fell by 5.4% in Asia (ex-cluding Japan), the Philippines along with Vietnam, Laos, Sri Lanka, and India registered double-digit growths. This is according to the Allianz Global Insurance Report prepared by Allianz Research. Allianz Research is projecting a 9.4% growth per annum over the next decade in Asia, ex-cluding Japan. Around 60% additional premiums are expected to be generated in the re-gion. In the Philippines, a market growth of 12.3% is foreseen (13.5 in life and 8.3 in p&c). “Allianz’ strong performance in the Philippines reflects the country’s economic growth and strong macroeconomic fundamentals, and we are looking to leverage on the continuous ex-pansion of economic activity in the country,” said Alexander Grenz, newly appointed presi-dent and chief executive officer of Allianz PNB Life. Premiums in the Philippines grew by 17.7% in 2018, way above the regional average. In fact, 2018 marked the best year since 2013. Life insurance, which accounts for more than 70% of the premium pool (without health), had a growth rate of 20.4%. It grew almost twice as fast as property-casualty (+11.1%). For 2019, Allianz Re-

search foresees a slowdown to around 10% premium growth, still well above regional or global averages. It noted that the Philippines’ insurance market has still plenty of room to grow: Premiums per capita stood at Php3,000.00 in 2018 (at par with neighboring Indonesia), penetration at 1.9%; it is, for example, already 3.7% in China. In-surance premiums in property-casualty and life are expected to grow by 14% this year and 12.3% over the next

decade. Allianz PNB Life is still the fastest-growing life insurance company in the Philippines, ac-cording to the report of the Insurance Commission. Its premium income grew by 69% in 2018 and its annualized premium income for 2018 stood at a historic high. Grenz, who previously served as the chief operating officer of Allianz PNB Life, said that as today’s business environment goes through rapid changes, the company

is hands-on to build a more diverse business model. “We all know how fastpaced the insurance industry is; the pressure and expectations are high from all sides ‐ our customers, our investors, our regulators, and among ourselves. Late last year, for instance, we have seen changes in reserve requirements for banks to ad-dress the spike in inflation. This resulted in liquidity shortage in the Bancassurance indus-try. Even though we are still

performing better compared to our competitors, we definitely need to catch up in the second half of the year,” Grenz said.

PRRD supports creation of TF Davao del Norte By CHE PALICTE PNA

DAVAO CITY-- Davao del Norte Gov. Edwin Jubahib bared Monday that the proposed creation of Task Force Davao del Norte has the blessing of President Rodrigo Duterte. Jubahib said the task force, similar to this city’s Task Force Davao, aims to protect the province from communist insurgents and terrorist elements. “The president is pleased with our proposed Task Force Davao del Norte as it is aligned with his EO 70,” Jubahib said. Executive Order 70 institutionalized the wholeof-nation approach in addressing the root causes of insurgencies, internal disturbances and other threats by prioritizing and harmonizing the delivery of basic services and the government’s social development packages, facilitating societal inclusivity, and ensuring active participation of all sectors of the society in the pursuit of the country’s peace agenda.

NPA support in Eastern M’nao in total collapse: Army By RHODA GRACE SARON PNA

DAVAO CITY -- The various underground mass organizations (UGMO) of the communist rebels in Eastern Mindanao are in the process of imminent total collapse after the departure of their members who pledged allegiance to the government during the first week of this month, military officials said. Lt. Col. Ezra Balagtey, spokesperson of Eastern Mindanao Command (EastMinCom), said more than 150 members of Unyon ng Mag-uuma sa Agusan

del Norte (UMAN), an organization in Barangay Bitan-agan, Butuan City, denounced their support to the new People’s Army (NPA) during a peace consultation dialogue in Butuan City. Balagtey said UMAN is one of the mass-based organizations used by the CPP-NPA to recruit farmers as its source of manpower, finance, and logistics. “Members are being made to pay dues with a promise to give them the lands that they are tilling,” Balagtey added. Meanwhile, around 396

NPA members and supporters yielded to the Army’s 30th Infantry Battalion in Surigao del Norte town of Malimono last Thursday, Balagtey said. Balagtey said the surrenderers also yielded 11 assorted firearms to 30IB, led by Lt. Col Allen Tomas. Lt. Gen. Felimon T. Santos Jr., Eastmincom commander, called on NPA supporters in the villages to reject the rebels. “The purpose of the communists’ front organization is to agitate people of false issues against the government and then orga-

nize them to openly protest and destroy the system of governance and create chaos,” Santos said. Santos said he has directed all military units within Eastmincom jurisdiction to “continue reaching out to the groups to address the armed struggle strongly”. The NPA--the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines-is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines.

DA project to raise durian productivity By CHE PALICTE PNA

DAVAO CITY -- A local durian industry council here commended the project of the Department of Agriculture in Region 11 (DA-11) dubbed as the “The Durian 500 Program”, which seeks to increase the productivity of the “king of fruits” not only in the city but the entire Davao Region as well. Launched in May, the

Durian 500 Program is a collaboration between the City Agriculturist Office (CAO) and DA-High Value Crops Development Program (HVCDP) that aims to expand to 500 hectares the durian plantations in tribal communities here. In a press conference Monday, Candelario Miculob, president of the Davao Durian Industry Development Council (DDIDC),

said the program has enabled farmers to plant more durian seedlings within the 500-hectare farmland. “DA-11 and CAO provided the seedlings, training and marketing assistance to the local farmers,” Miculob said. Targetting about 78,000 durian fruit trees to be planted, Miculob added that the chosen land in Baguio District is one of the highly

DURIAN 500. About 10,000 Durian Puyat seedlings are set to be planted in Baguio District for the Durian 500 program of the Department of Agriculture. (Photo by DA-11)

Life, Grenz said he plans to focus on simplifying insurance for the customers. “Simplification of insurance will be our priority. We will simplify the language of insurance to make it understandable to more customers and make it easy to access with the superior technology Allianz can provide,” he explained. Grenz is, likewise, moving to tap Allianz’s global investment fund managers from PIMCO and Allianz Global Investments (AGI) to provide superior technical solutions and investment strategies. “Our goal is to have a well-defined output that should create value for our customers. It’s the customers’ perception, which counts and defines our success. With PIMCO and AGI, cus-tomers are assured they have access to superior product solutions and technical advise,” he said. Furthermore, Grenz is steering the company toward a digital future. Recently, the company opened its Allianz Digital Studio, which will pioneer the next-generation of innovation and solutions and make the delivery of insurance products and services faster and more efficient for both its internal and external customers. “Our digital and customer-centric initiatives in the pipeline are geared toward enhancing the Allianz customer experience and differentiate us in the market,” he concluded.

on the lifting of the moratorium on the issuance of new mineral agreements. Executive Order (EO) 79 imposed a moratorium on new mineral agreements “until a legislation rationalizing existing revenue sharing schemes and mechanisms shall have taken effect”. The Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law or Republic Act 10963 increased the excise tax on mineral products from 2 percent to 4 percent. DENR queried whether the increase would be considered as having satisfied the condition of a legislation rationalizing the existing revenue sharing scheme. However, the DOF clarified that TRAIN only increased the excise taxes and did not cover the implementation of a new fiscal regime for mining. The new fiscal regime proposed by the DOF covers other taxes and fees, such as royalty, windfall, profit, and incentives. Given the clarification, the MICC resolved to defer a recommendation to lift the moratorium on new mineral agreements, stressing that a new revenue-sharing scheme and mechanisms for mining will be covered in the Package 2 plus of the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program, which will have to be refiled in the incoming 18th Congress.

salary of public school teachers to not less than P30,000 a month, from the current P20,754 monthly salary of Teacher 1. The minority leader said that with the bill getting bipartisan support in the Senate, there is a chance that the much-awaited and longsought increase will finally be given to the country’s hardworking teachers and teaching personnel. “We should provide teachers with the right incentives to encourage them to remain in the noblest profession of educating and molding our youth to become productive citizens of this country,” Drilon said. “This proposed salary increase will invigorate our teachers as they help build the nation, one student, one classroom at a time,” Drilon added. “With the ever-growing challenges that face our public school teachers, it is only fitting to accord them the salary increase they rightfully deserve,” Hipolito-Castelo said. While the education sector receives the largest share in the national budget, Drilon noted that the salary of our teachers remains to be lower compared to the salaries received by other professionals. “The proposed measure is geared towards improving the performance of our educators, thereby resulting to a better quality of education, and ultimately, a better Philippines,” Drilon stressed. “If we truly care about our country and its people, it would serve us well to invest in them. Devoting resources for their benefit means investing in our future,” Drilon said. The proposed measure of Drilon also seeks to adjust the minimum basic salary received by entry level teachers in state universities and colleges to P31,000. The salaries of all other teaching personnel occupying higher positions will also be adjusted. In her explanatory note, the lawmaker stated that the current salary grade of these teachers is way below their worth and their contribution to national development. Hipolito-Castelo further said that the teaching profession entails sacrifice, self-denial, patience and hard work, as they deal with individuals of different behaviors and because they carry on their work even up to their own homes. She further noted the significant role of teachers in society as they mold the youth into becoming future leaders. The bill provides that the needed budget for the increase shall be incorporated in the appropriation for the Department of Education (DepEd) for each fiscal year. Meanwhile, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), in

coordination with the DepEd, shall promulgate the implementing rules and regulations of the measure./ Molie Gonzales, News and Documentation SectionPress and Public Affairs Bureau/ House of Representatives of the Philippines

in Manticao, Misamis Oriental. Police Captain James Bastatas, head of PDEU Misamis Oriental West, identified the suspect as Ariel Macas, a resident of Cagayan de Oro City, who fired first to the police when they entered his house to supposedly neutralize him. One of the police operatives, Patrolman George Sordillo of the PDEU Misamis Oriental, was wounded at his left hand. Bastatas said Macas was included in the Directorate for Intelligence (DG) list as drug personality and have been jailed for drug case but availed the plea bargaining of the court few months ago. During the search in his room, police seized seven sachets of believed to be shabu, several drug paraphernalia and ammunitions. The Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) during their processing of the crime scene before the police search also recovered the caliber .38 the suspect used in firing to the police, fired cartridge, several ammunitions, drug paraphernalia and cash worth P45,000 plus. The wounded police was already discharged from the hospital and is now in a stable condition.

penned by Misamis Oriental RTC Branch 21 Judge Gil Bollozos, the court sentenced Michael Roa to life imprisonment and a fine of P400,000 for violation of Republic Act (RA) 9165. The same penalties were imposed on Porferio Roa Jr. John Rey Roa was ordered to undergo six months rehabilitation. The court did not decide on the fate of Pundavela who is currently at large - but the warrant for her arrest stands. The three Roas are currently detained at the Misamis Oriental provincial jail in Cagayan de Oro City. In its decision, the court stated that all three were guilty beyond reasonable doubt. The court based its decision on the following facts: the rule on the chain of custody as prescribed in Section 21 of RA 9165 was properly observed, “On the required physical inventory and photograph, on records are photographs showing the media representative and barangay official signing the receipt of property seized with all of the accused beside and in the presence of PDEA, police officers and other witnesses. The items were

During the meeting, Aboitiz Power executives said the Floating Solar Farms could be improvised to generate enough power to run ice-making and cold storage facilities in far-flung and isolated fishing communities of the country; generate power which could be stored in batteries to provide light to the fishing communities; serve as a huge Fish Aggregating Device or “Payao” where small fish species would gather and attract big fish species like Tuna; and function as a fish cage in coves or near the coastlines for the production of high value fish. It was agreed upon that the Floating Solar Farm prototype will be funded by the DA-BFAR with an estimated cost of PHP20million and is expected to be completed in four months. (PNA)

Yet for now, doable solutions to tone down the city’s traffic mess are too far off. Councilor Abaday’s idea of hiring transport experts to study for the establishment of a mass transport system like the Cebu City’s bus rapid transport facility has ended as referral, and may be stored in the dust bin – forever. That said, local transport gurus were reportedly enlisted to frame the city’s traffic master plan, yet such blueprint may have gone in deep slumber. For now, cheers to Metro Cagayan de Oro in the making, but jeers to the city’s traffic mess! (ruffy44_ ph2000@yahoo.com)

Besides helping the team answer everyday queries about the hotel, the chatbot serves as a guide, providing curated tours and recommendations for various food haunts and interesting activities in the neighborhood.

Systems (SPIS) intended to irrigate 500,000 hectares of rice farms and other highvalue agricultural products over the next three years. SPIS units will be interconnected with a computer program which would allow the DA Central Office to monitor the performance of each system all over the country. “The Israeli government is currently completing the installation of two prototypes of the SPIS -- one for a small farm set up of up to five hectares and the other for a big farm set up of up to 100 hectares,” the agriculture secretary added. The prototypes are a donation from an Israeli company, which is also one of those interested in undertaking the SPIS projects in the Philippines. The prototypes are expected to be operational by the end of July. Israel Ambassador Harpaz, in an interview with Philippine News Agency, added that the agreement also includes that of MASHAV-- the agency that offers international workshops and courses. “Israel has been sharing knowledge and skills for many years in various areas such as agriculture, water management, and innovation through MASHAV, and we are looking forward to deepening our cooperation with the Philippines in the nearby future,” Harpaz explained during the interview. He added that the signed agreement reflects the good bilateral relations between our two countries. Israel considers the Philippines as one of its closest friends in the region because it was the only country in Asia which gave refuge to Jewish refugees fleeing from Europe during World War II. The Philippines also voted for the creation of an independent state of Israel. (PNA)

NPA couple who started as child soldiers yields in Bukidnon By NEF LUCZON, PNA

CAGAYAN de Oro City--A couple who joined the com-

munist New People’s Army (NPA) as child soldiers surrendered in the Bukidnon town of Impasug-ong Wednesday, the military said. The Army’s 8th Infantry Battalion (8IB) said the couple, only identified as Koko and Kenny, joined the communist rebel movement when they were 17 and 15 years, respectively. Koko is now 22 years old, and Kenny, 19, is pregnant with the couple’s first child. The 8IB said Koko and Kenny are the 6th NPA couple to yield since 2018. “The said couple warriors got married while they were in the NPA group of the Regional Sentro De Grabidad Compaq, North Central Mindanao Regional Command (RSDG Compaq,NCMRC),” the 8IB statement said. “They got a chance and escaped from the NPA and immediately surrendered themselves to this Army unit bringing a .45-caliber pistol loaded with bullets,” it added. Based on the military debriefing of the couple following their surrender, the NPA exploited the couple’s young age to force them to stay in the rebel movement. It got to a point, the military said, that the commander of the couple’s NPA unit convinced them to marry in an apparent attempt to keep them together in the movement. Koko was quoted as saying that the chance to flee the NPA came when they were granted permission to come down from the mountains for the prenatal checkup of

Kenny, who is four months pregnant. “We immediately left and ran to 8IB,” Koko said, referring to 8IB headquarters in Impasug-ong town. “Now that I am in the right age, I realized that we are not secured there due to non-stop military operation of the Army. I don’t want to die there,” Koko was quoted as saying. According to the couple, the NPA in Bukidnon was “in disarray” after losing the support of villagers. “We are isolated in the hinterlands, which make it hard for us to find our food and seek medical help,” the former rebel said in the dialect. Lt. Col. Ronald Illana, 8iB commanding officer, said the Army will help the couple “file cases against the NPA personalities who forcibly recruited them. They joined the group at a very young age and that’s a violation of their rights.” “To the remaining members of the NPA groups in Bukidnon, we are calling for your surrender and abandon the lost cause of the CPP-NPANDF,” Illana added, referring to the Communist Party of the Philippines and the National Democratic Front. Illana said the couple will be assisted by 8IB and the local government of Impasugong for Kenny’s prenatal checkups, as well as in the enrolment to the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program. The CPP-NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines. (NPA)

Property Guru names Cebu Landmasters as 2019 Best Developer

Awarded as Best High-End Condominium Development (Cebu), 38 Park Avenue is Cebu Landmasters’ New York inspired masterpiece with 745 premium residential units and green open spaces strategically located at the bustling Cebu IT Park.

LEADING local developer in VisMin Cebu Landmasters Inc. (CLI) bested established national industry players and was named Best Developer (Philippines) at the 72th Annual Property Guru Philippines Property Awards presented by global brand Kohler last

Cebu Landmasters founder, president and CEO Jose Soberano III.

July 5 in Makati. The listed company is the first-ever winner of the Best Developer (Philippines) title to hail from the Queen City of the South and will represent the country in the prestigious Property Guru Asia Pacificwide grand finals in Bangkok, Thailand in November to be participated by different property markets around the region. “We are deeply honored to be awarded as the country’s top developer,” said CLI CEO Jose Soberano III. “This would not have been possible without the efforts of our team and the support of our customers and industry partners. This validates the strength of our growing position as the leading player in the Visayas and Mindanao Region. We look forward to more milestones.” CLI also bagged the top honors for its New Yorkinspired 38 Park Avenue development, which was also named as Best High-End Condominium Development (Cebu).

(L-R) Christophe Vicic, country head of JLL Philippines and chair of the independent panel of judges presented the Best Developer (Philippines) award to Cebu Landmasters represented by its executives VP for Operations Jess Cabigting, VP for Finance and Accounting Connie Guieb, and VP for Engineering Jun Capistrano.

Casa Mira Towers Labangon was further cited as Highly Commended for Best Affordable Condominium Development (Cebu), and MesaTierra Garden Residences was Highly Commended for Best Condominium Development (Davao). The awards’ independent panel of judges pointed out that “Cebu Landmasters’ projects capture the imagination magnificently.” During the awards night, CLI’s vice president for engineering Engr. Jun Capistrano—who received the award on behalf of the company— said: “We’re just a 15-year-old

company and relatively new in the real estate industry. We are overwhelmed to have received these honors.” The company is the first-ever winner of the Best Developer (Philippines) title to hail from the Queen City of the South. From its initial public offering in June 2017 that raised over P2.15 billion for the company, Cebu Landmasters expanded rapidly to key VisMin cities and has become the leading developer in the region, according to a 2017 market study of Santos Knight Frank. It has also forged strategic alliances with international and local partners in growing and diversifying its development portfolio. In 2018, the company

launched a wide range of projects and expanded its residential condominiums and subdivisions to key cities in the Visayas-Mindanao area, as well as introduced more hotels and mixeduse projects.
