Sabio assures ‘God-centered’ service in his admin By SUSAN PALMES, Columnist
“I CANNOT promise you the sun and the moon, but I can assure you sa serbisyo nga tinood ug diosnon nga serbisyo (genuine, God-centered service).” Newly installed Tagoloan Mayor Gomer “Enan” Sabio said this to constituents after he took his oath of office last Saturday, June 29. Sabio took his oath of office administered
by Jerson Sabio, Barangay Captain of Mojon and Sabio’s running mate. Clad in immaculate barong, the mayor was sworn into office inside the municipal dome with more than 6,000 constituents in attendance. Sabio, whose victory in the 2019 elections ended the decades-long rule of the Emano clan, described his administration as “serbisyo dayag” and asked help from his See ASSURES, page 11

Profiling of Marawi IDPs ends By FROILAN GALLARDO MindaNews
MARAWI City--The profiling of internally displaced persons (IDPs) or Kathanor in Marawi City officially ended Friday or 11 days after it resumed last June 17. Felix Castro, Task Force Bangon Marawi field office manager said they are now preparing for the next phase of the Kathanor program which is designed for those who rented spaces in Marawi before the the siege two years ago that destroyed the city’s commercial area. “We are tentatively setting the next phase in the middle of July as soon as we are ready,” Castro told MindaNews. People still jam-packed the registration centers at the Marawi Resort hotel (formerly known as Ayala Resort Hotel) on the last day of the registration. Castro estimated at more than 2,000 the people who came in to register last Friday. “I do not understand why there are still people coming when the registration started last November,” he said. The profiling of IDPs was suspended last May 22 after it was found out that an unusually large number of people were able to register. Castro said it turned out that many of them were “fake IDPs” who were able to get spurious public documents to back their claims. He said Kathanor was supposed to have ended in March, and the May 20 to 31 schedule was supposedly only for those with grievances or complaints or those who were unable to meet the schedules for their barangays. Instead, Castro said they were “mobbed” by the fake IDPs. He said the problem on fake IDPs surfaced during the May 20 to 31 schedule after the Department of Social Welfare and Development released P73,000 “pabaon” cash assistance
Hundreds of Meranaos came for the last day of Kathanor on Friday (28 June 2019) to beat the deadline. MindaNews photo by Bobby Timonera
for those who were already registered under the Kathanor program. Under the DSWD cash assistance program, P20,000 worth of financial assistance was given to IDPs to start their own business and a lump sum of P53,000 as transitory family support package. Aside from the financial assistance, the DSWD also gave another “pabaon” package consisting of canned goods and other food items. “This attracted the people to register,” Castro said. He said there was no problem in the profiling process from October 2018 to March 2019. He said as of May 20, a total of 44,497 households of IDPs inside and outside the Main Affected Area had been profiled or registered in the Kathanor program since October 7 last year.
USS Montgomery visits Davao City By Antonio L. Colina IV MindaNews DAVAO City--The 70-crew member USS Montgomery, an Independence-class littoral combat ship (LCS) of the US Navy, arrived at the Sasa Wharf in Davao City around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday for a three-day goodwill visit and to demonstrate the US government’s commitment to maritime security. Cmdr. Edward A. Rosso, Montgomery’s commanding officer, told reporters in an interview after a quick tour inside the ship that it was the first port visit of the Montgomery to the Philippines, one of the longest-standing US allies in the Indo-Pacific region, for its first deployment. Rosso said the ship’s

goodwill visit aims to help strengthen the comprehensive US-Philippines relations and to learn from the experience of both navies to improve interoperability and exchange culture. “We’re here to strengthen our partnership and our alliance with the Philippines. We can exchange cultural ideas and interoperability. It’s very important that our military work together, learn how to operate together,” he said. In press release issued by the US Embassy in Manila, Rosso said port visits “allow us to demonstrate our commitment to maritime security in the region, while strengthening relationships with our friends, partners, and allies.” Rosso said the visit of Montgomery to Davao has nothing to do with the renewed tensions in the West Philippine Sea after a Filipino fishing boat Gem-Ver was rammed by a Chinese vessel at the Recto Bank in the evening of June 9. The 22 fishermen were reportedly abandoned in that sinking boat. He maintained the intention of the ship’s visit, which came two weeks after the recent “maritime incident,” was to further the partnership and alliance between US and Philippines. Last year, Davao was also frequented with Chinese military aircraft and Chinese research/survey vessels, Yuan Wang 3 and Yuan Wang 7.
“It has nothing to do with the Chinese. The US and the Philippines have been in a partnership for over 70 years. Think about the Philippines and Americans. Over 4 million Filipino-Americans are in the US. Any time, it’s 350,000 US citizens traveling in this country,” Rosso said. During his visit to Davao on June 18, US Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim assured the Philippines of the US government support amid tensions in the West Philippine sea. Citing US Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo, Kim vowed the US will protect the Philippines as part of their commitments under the US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty. He said any armed attack “against the Philippine forces, Philippine aircraft, and Philippine public vessels will trigger our obligations under the Mutual Defense Treaty.” The International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea in The Hague, the Netherlands upheld the Philippine’s 200-mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) over China’s historic nine-dash line claim that borders the former’s maritime territory in a decision last July 12, 2016. Asked if the Montgomery would be sailing across the disputed West Philippine Sea, Rosso said: “I cannot comment on where we’ve been and where we’re going.” The official also refused to answer if the ship would
be deployed in the Balikatan Exercise, an annual military exercises of the two nations, as part of the US-Philippines Visiting Forces Agreement. According to a press br iefer, Montgomer y’s speed at 46 miles per hour and maneuverability were among the unique and defining characteristics of the ship. The ship, equipped with four steerable water jets unlike most naval ships that utilize propellers and rudders to “drive” the ship, is one of the most agile and maneuverable ships in the fleet. “A fast, agile, and focused mission platform, it is designed for operation in near-shore environments, yet capable of open ocean operation independently or with a strike group,” it added. It said the LCS fulfills a crucial role in the six core areas of the Navy’s Maritime Defense Strategy: forward presence, deterrence, sea control, sea power projection, maritime security, and humanitarian assistance/ disaster response (HA/DR). “This ship drafts 14 feet which just gives our navy the opportunity to go into a lot of places that normally we wouldn’t be able. This ship can get to so many places. If we needed to do between disaster relief and humanitarian aid, this is the perfect ship to help you do that,” Rosso said. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

PPI at 55: building better communities
THIS year marks the 55th anniversary of the Philippine Press Institute (PPI), also known as the national association of newspapers. This milestone serves as a testament to the enduring two-pronged vision of PPI: 1) To defend press freedom; and 2) to promote ethical standards within the ranks of its member-publications. “We do not only celebrate its longevity but remind ourselves of its relevance and mandate,” said Alfonso Pedroche, outgoing PPI chairman-president and retired former editor-in-chief of Pilipino Star Ngayon. As in previous years, PPI is holding yet another edition of the National Press Forum on July 4 and 5 in Manila, not only in celebration of its founding but, more importantly, to bring together the members in a once-a-year
opportunity to engage in meaningful discussion on an issue that matters to the public and all of the Philippine media. The publishers and editors from the membernewspapers will be joined by guests from the academe, government, embassies, and civil society organizations. The theme for this year is “Governance, Media, and Democracy: Building Better Communities”, around which the PPI aims to have a discussion that, among others, will highlight the role of media in both local and national affairs as the fourth estate and watchdog. “Building Better Communities” is the slogan for PPI’s flagship program which is civic journalism. “We couldn’t stress enough the role of the print media. PPI in fact has been a witness and participant in the evolving media landscapes
which also saw the growth of community press since the inception of the organization fifty-five years ago,” said PPI executive director Ariel Sebellino. He also attested that newspapers have survived the tests of time. Alex Pal, a publisher of a Dumaguete-based community newspaper and PPI vice-chairman said that it is even more challenging for a small paper to sustain its operations despite difficult times. “The last time they said print was dying, we’re still here, active in our role as catalysts for change and a platform for civic engagement.” His weekly newspaper MetroPost is a finalist in this year’s Civic Journalism Community Press Awards. The PPI Board took note of this year’s conference theme as timely and relevant “as we also try to
have an insightful look at a new system of government that has been a subject of discourse for the longest time”. Senator Aquilino ‘Nene’ Pimentel, Jr., considered as the father of local government code and a staunch advocate of federalism will share his take on it. Atty. Christian Monsod will discuss the (proposed) Puno Federalism in relation to preserving democracy and promoting press freedom. “Social justice and economy are just two of the major shortcomings of the Puno Constitution,” said Monsod in response to the PPI invitation. Atty. Erwin Caliba will talk about autonomy as a mechanism to address exclusion of minorities. Atty. Cheryl DaytecYañgot, a staunch advocate of IP issues, will react to all three presentations.
This year’s event is being supported again by Nickel Asia Corporation as its principal partner for the conference and awards, and in part by Kusog Bikolandia and Hanns Seidel Foundation as major sponsors, SM Investments Corporation as minor sponsor, Smart Communications, PAGCOR, Ayala Corporation, Land Bank of the Philippines, San Miguel Corporation, PAGLAS Group, McDonald’s, PCSO, and Hotel Jen. PPI’s current program partners, led by Nickel Asia Corporation will take center stage in the Industry Forum as they talk about “engaging communities” in relation to their programs and advocacies in the communities they serve. The Civic Journalism Community Press Awards, now on its 23nd season will
highlight the two-day event. There are six dailies and 7 weeklies vying for five major categories, namely: best in photojournalism, best in environmental reporting, best in business and economic reporting, best editorial page, and best edited paper. The finalists are: Baguio Chronicle, MetroPost, The Mindanao Cross, The Bohol Chronicle, BusinessWeek Mindanao, Herald Express, and Northern Forum for the weekly category; and Sun.Star Baguio, Cebu Daily News, Sun.Star Davao, Sun. Star Pampanga, Sun.Star Cebu, and Edge Davao for the daily category. The awards program, the only one of its kind by far, is being managed by the Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication (AIJC) and supported by Nickel Asia Corporation (NAC). (PPI)

Lucky Condo or Townhouse Buying Tips
AS IT is noted, a house is built with walls and beams. But a home is built with love and dreams! Today you will learn how to do it with luck inclusive using feng shui compliant principles before you decide which condo or townhouse unit to buy! The only two criteria in your investment decision feng shuiwise: a lucky and happy home. First how to harness or make the luck in your investment: 1. Choose the unit that coincides with your life energy directions of which in feng shui it may be according to your motives: there is a direction for fortune or prosperity, a direction for
Unruffled
good health, a direction for harmony and lastly a direction for fame. A professional feng shui expert can guide you in this regard so please be guided accordingly. What is most important is never to choose a unit that has for a main door, one that is oriented to your death door! Nor the disharmony direction, or illness and bad health orientation! 2. Have a unit with the most auspicious kitchen layout which varies from owner to owner per unit. Again the invaluable guidance of a feng shui expert is indispensable in this strategic investment concern.
3. Last but not least is to have a feng shui compliant master’s bedroom and bedrooms for your loved ones - kids, parents as well as helpers and drivers. The whole objective is to keep everybody wellrested for their wellbeing and good health so as not to be a bother or counterproductive in daily household management (no downtime). The overall importance of these feng shui principles is to endow your home investment with excellent life energies that promote luck, good health and prosperity! Next is how to sustain it into a happy and healthy home aside from its wealth generating capacities an-

chored on the abovementioned criterion: 1. Interior and exterior design, section by section, room by room, person by person must conform to each occupant’s lucky colors as prescribed by the feng shui expert. No more, no less, no excuses. 2. No black and blue roofing colors as they attract financial worries and difficulties in life. 3. No lion and tiger images or figurines as they negatively purvey a sacrifice of money or life See TIPS, page 11
Live with it?
IT’S now time of the year when bad weather comes along side with the opening of classes elsewhere and everywhere. The recent initial salvo of rains spawned by a sudden burst of heavy downpour in what the weather bureau has always termed as ‘localized thunderstorm’ was another test of our resilience in the wake of nature’s latest challenge -- flooding in low-lying areas. That said, this question comes to mind: are we bound to live with it? A city engineer may have all the reasons to say this and here’s why: Years after Sendong, climate change experts had warned the possible adverse effects of the La Niña weather phenomenon, including
sudden flash floods expected to hit land between the wet months of June to January. As proof of that warning, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ Mines and Geosciences Bureau (DENR-MGB) had provided a geo-hazard assessment study and a geo-hazard map to the city government. The map had identified flood-prone areas, including all of the 25 barangays of Cagayan de Oro that are regularly swamped by floodwaters every time bad weather comes along. Study shows that Cagayan de Oro River, when spawned by torrential rains, water is expected to rise by over a meter, or more. Urban flooding would likely to happen in this
city ringed by mountains and rivers from the nearby Bukidnon province. Indeed, for a city with a river, Cagayan de Oro is vulnerable to flash floods this time of the year. Cagayan de Oro comes from the word kagay which means river and Kagay-an as ‘ a place with a river’. Widely known today as the site of white-water rafting, Cagayan de Oro River serves as the natural boundary of Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro City, and between Bukidnon and Iligan City. It divides Cagayan de Oro as well into two congressional districts. Geographically, the headwaters of Cagayan de Oro River originate in the mountain ranges in the central part of Bukid-
Ruffy Magbanua
non. It freely flows for about 90 kilometers from the Kalatungan Mountain Range of Bukidnon down to Cagayan de Oro’s mighty Macajalar Bay. The river drains approximately 1,521 square kilometers, 80 percent of which is in the province of Bukidnon and the rest through Iligan City and Cagayan de Oro. Excess of everything is bad. If we do not stop exploiting our ecosystem See LIVE, page 11
Susan’s Notes
Villanueva Mayor Jenny Uy and her forward looking governance style
I AM impressed with Mayor Jenny Uy of Villanueva town on how she talked about the sharing of resources between local governments during last Saturday’s (June 29) inaugural of Tagoloan Mayor Gomer ‘Enan’ Sabio. Uy, the daughter of Rep. Juliette Uy of Misamis Oriental’s second district and former Vice Governor Julio Uy is also the incumbent president of the Mayor’s League of the PhilippinesMisamis Oriental chapter. Mayor Uy surprised me with her grasp of the problems of water supply and waste disposal in both her town of Villanueva and neighboring Tagoloan. To my mind I can only say ‘wow’, she is that knowledgeable about the problems be-

setting both her constituents and Tagoloan town. My hometown of Tagoloan where I learned the basics in life, arithmetic and English had been saddened with garbage and water supply problems since as far as I can remember and the ruling Emano clan had not only failed to address them but kept an iron grip
on Tagoloan town. I daresay that it was the Emano clan’s perpetuation of their myopic, parochial partisan politics that had kept Tagoloan in the Dark Ages in their decades-long rule of Tagoloan Municipal Hall. That the garbage problem in Tagoloan town had been so politicized by the Emano clan that they refused collection and disposal to those they consider as a threat to their political rule showed not only their lust for power but also their insecurity and desperation to perpetuate their rule at all costs. Said political foes that the Emano clan had identified like Sabio were prohibited from disposing their
garbage in the designated area in the Natumolan public market. Thus the totally disgusting sight of garbage strung and dumped in a lot of areas in Tagoloan, including trees. Sabio solved the garbage problem as barangay captain of Natumolan by securing the assistance of Villanueva officials who accepted the garbage collected from their area. That is the plain and simple truth that the ruling Emano clique in Tagoloan Municipal Hall refused to accept, let alone acknowledge. Now, the good young Mayor Uy whose vision of governance stretches far and wide to Magsaysay all the way to the last town See STYLE, page 11

Think A Minute
Have my say
Just wild weather?
IN THE Philippines, we experience the rainy season right now. “Breakthrough” insights into atmospheric dynamics are emerging from “high-maths” —scrutiny of satellite data, say scientists. Their Nature magazine article identifies “significant connections” between extreme rain events, often far apart. Their premise: global rainfall distribution stems “probably” from planetary waves named after the late Swedish-born American meteorologist Carl-Gustaf Rossby. Just wild weather or is it a climate disruption? Normally, monsoon rains over northern Queensland last a “few days,” says Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology. Unprecedented downpours began a week ago, with more forecast and troops sent to a disaster zone. Evacuations have included these residents of Rossela, near Townsville, and German and Swiss tourists plucked from the Diamantina River catchment by a local farmer using his private helicopter. Indonesia, like much of Asia including the Philippines i.e., weathers annual monsoon rains. Last weekend, the Sulawesi islands counted its toll: at least 70 people were killed as rivers burst their banks and landslides buried village
homes. Authorities said a state of emergency would remain in place. My home country Germany experiences records all-time hottest June temperature. Imagine: the last day of June 2019 has beaten all previous temperature highs for the month. Heatrelated deaths have been reported in several European countries. Yes, whole Europe is melting. A pharmacy sign in Carpentras, a village in southeastern France, which shortly held the country’s all-time heat record of 44.3 degrees on Friday. The record was topped again later in the afternoon in the southern village of Villevieille, 100 kilometers (60 miles) to the east, which measured a thermometerbusting 45.1 degrees Celsius (113 Fahrenheit). Germany set its all-time highest June temperature on last Sunday, with 38.9 degrees Celsius (102 degrees Fahrenheit) recorded in the western state of RhinelandPalatinate. The country has been baking in an early summer heat wave; however, Germany’s all-time high of 40.3 degrees Celsius still stands.

day after many collapsed in temperatures of up to 35 degrees Celsius, officials said. Some 141 runners needed treatment in what fire service officials described as “an emergency with mass casualties.” Temperatures in the country’s central RhineMain region and into eastern Germany were expected to reach up to 39 degrees on Sunday, according to the German Weather Service (DWD). Organizers of Sunday’s Frankfurt Ironman event made contingency plans to keep athletes from overheating. As huge crowds gathered in Paris for the annual gay pride parade, firefighters sprayed water on revelers, some of whom used rainbow-colored fans and umbrellas to counter the heat, which was expected to hit 38 degrees. Heat-related deaths have been reported in Germany and France, mainly among the elderly. At least eight people drowned in See WILD, page 11

Make yourself a success
THINK a minute. “Any man can be a success, no matter how poor he started in life.” This was said by Clement Stone, a highly successful businessman who began his career as a 16-year-old who sold insurance from door to door. After only four years he started his own agency, and later owned his own insurance company worth more than $150 million. Stone says we need to program ourselves to succeed, similar to how a computer is programmed. In fact, the modern computer is only a simple, poor imitation of the far more advanced and powerful computer of our human mind. Today and tomorrow we will talk about the three essential ingredients you must program into yourself for success. First, and most important, is your own motivation to make the best choices that will move you to the best actions and changes. A rich owner of a woman’s cosmetics company told his secret for success. He said: “I never promised a woman that my products would make her beautiful,
Jhan Tiafau Hurst
but I always gave her the hope of looking better.” With no hope of improving and changing, you cannot motivate yourself. Hope is your strong belief that you really can reach your goal and expectation. You must believe each day that you are getting closer to your goal, because you know that you are doing what it takes to get there. It’s not just believing it, but starting to do it now—hour by hour, day by day—until it becomes your way of living and working every day. Another powerful way to motivate is by example. Clement Stone had a young salesman who did not believe he could sell insurance to the kind of people who lived in his town. So Stone went to work with the young salesman for one day to show him how. Stone asked the young man a few questions about his town’s people. Then Stone prayed and asked God to help him do his very best. Afterwards, Stone confidently went from house to house and sold See MAKE, page 11

Dive tourism, the next big thing in Camiguin
C
By JOYCE ANN L. ROCAMORA
AMIGUIN, Northern Mindanao -- Keen on attracting the growing dive tourism market, the firstever dive festival in the south has been launched in Camiguin, the northern tip of Mindanao, indicating the province and the region’s readiness to accommodate divers.
Bo Mancao, a Cebubased international dive photog rapher, s aid “a couple more years” and the volcanic island could position itself as a “top diving destination in Asia.” “Camiguin has it all. It has great muck diving where you look for the rare creatures. It has awesome reefs and good dropoffs, and in the right season, it has super clear waters -- that makes a good mix for a dive holiday,” Mancao said on the sidelines of the 1st Camiguin Dive Festival in Mambajao. The dive fest, a twomonth long event pumped with a flurry of dive packages at discounted rates, underwater photography competition, and a province-wide campaign on sustainable tourism, runs until August. Depending on what one fancies -- freediving or scuba diving -- this underwater sport is a fairly expensive hobby. Classes to get the required dive certification ranges from PHP20,000 to PHP25,000. The regular dive package for licensed divers, on the other hand, costs between PHP1,200 and PHP2,500 per dive site. Throughout the two months, divers get to enjoy a 30-percent discount on each package and about 15
percent less on introductory dive classes. “We are spearheading the first-ever Camiguin Dive Festival promoting the island’s rich, unique, diverse and pristine dive sites. This is in line with our vision to develop Camiguin as a destination that meets global standards of sustainable and responsible tourism,” Camiguin Governor Maria Luisa Romualdo said. During the grand festival launch on June 23, international dive photographers and professional divers were treated by the provincial government with a trip to the Black Coral Forest near the Medan Island off Mambajao. Mancao, the event’s official underwater photographer, said the view underneath is as breathtaking as all the dives he had in Camiguin. “The dive was very good, I’m always happy to dive in Camiguin,” he said. “The dive industry in the Philippines is getting a lot stronger now. We can see it in other dive destinations now and I think Camiguin would be the best next dive destination in the Philippines.” Diving-wise, the island is in fact now ready to accept an influx of international and local dive tourists. “It’s been ready

for years now. Divers have been coming here for some time already. It’s not just that popular yet,” he said. According to the Department of Tourism (DOT) 10 (Northern Mindanao) Director Marie Elaine Unchuan, the department has already accredited six dive shops on the island. “The PCSSD (Philippine Commission on Sports and Scuba Diving) actually inspected everything and gave certification so we can really invite people with confidence because we know the divers would have good diving experience,” she told reporters in an interview. The advantage in dive tourism is that divers often stay longer, she noted. And the longer a visitor stays in a place, the more vibrant

Ariel Dampios, one of the residents, said he was grateful to the government for distributing seeds and seedlings. “Dako kayo akong pasalamat sa atong gobyerno nga naghatag karon ug semelya sa humay kay dili na mi makapalit og maka save name sa among gasto,” he said. “Nagpasalamat ko na nakaabot diri ang tabang sa gobyerno.

the tourism industry. “When the dive groups come here after they dive, they’ll roam around the island because they’re not allowed to get on a flight within 24 hours. The good thing with Camiguin is it’s an ecotourism destination. It has beaches, mountain, hot springs, and even cold springs,” she said. Long before the official promotions and the
festival, Camiguin has already established a name recall among Europeans -- particularly Germans and Russian divers -- through word of mouth. “We have Germans, French, and Russians diving here, and of course, the domestic divers and we’re getting a lot of rave reviews from dive photographers we’ve invited in the past,” Unchuan said.
“We’re very confident that a lot more people will get enticed to dive in Camiguin,” she added. The diving event is in line with the national government’s goal to develop and promote the Philippines as a premier diving and business hub in Asia. Last year, the DOT even hosted the largest dive exposition in the Philippines. (PNA)

Bookkeeping and technology By FLORAMY P. INGOTAN
THOSE changes are being driven by technology. The face of bookkeeping is changing. Software is becoming pretty accurate and bookkeeping is changing to money management – validating the automated work and advising. Bookeeping is evolving so much right now. Software innovations and new competition coming into the market have made firms to review their approach and look at alternative ways to provide services and expand their offerings. As technology changes, bookkeeping is becoming more automated and somewhat easier. Unfortunately, the automated processes can easily lead to mistakes when staff isn’t playing attention. Accountants then find themselves having to spend more time analyzing if mistakes were
made. Automation beats pencil and paper any day. Technology is making it easier and easier to perform the basic tasks of bookkeeping. In part because it is simply more effective to automate your accounting systems and also because engaging with an outsourced provider is a fundamental part of improving business practices, embracing accounting technology is an important step. Effective outsourcing accounting and bookkeeping requires a significant amount of transitioning to electronic and cloudbased systems. If you’ve been heavily reliant on paper reporting, handkeyed entry and snail mail invoicing, making the transition to outsourced accounting and bookkeeping will change all of this.

SC junks pleas on source code review in vote counting machines By BENJAMIN PULTA
MANILA -- The Supreme Court (SC) has turned down petitions, which seek to compel the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to allow groups to open and review the source code in the vote counting machines (VCMs) as provided for under Republic Act 9369 or the Election Modernization Act of 1997. In an banc decision dated April 30 and released Monday, the High Court likewise denied the motion of the petitioners -- Sen. Richard Gordon, the BagumbayanNVP Movement Inc. and Tanggulang Demokrasya -- to hold former Comelec chair Sixto Brilliantes Jr. in contempt for his failure to comply with his commitments to the Court during the May 8, 2013 oral arguments to, among others, make the source code available for review and to grant more time to the parties to comply with the requirements to do
so. “In deciding that Chairman Brillantes is not liable for indirect contempt, the Court focuses solely on the undertakings that were directly promised to the Court, not those which the petitioner feels were promised,” the SC added. The High Court dismissed on the ground of “being moot and academic” while their plea to cite Brilliantes for contempt was junked for “utter lack of merit.” Likewise, the Court denied the plea of the petitioners to compel the Comelec to use digital electronic election returns and provide for the basic security safeguards, which include the source code review, vote verification, and random audit in compliance with RA 9369. The SC said it took judicial notice of Comelec Resolution 10423 promulgated on Sept.

or a relationship like marriage (separation). 4. No unlucky plants in the garden or indoors: thorny or creeping plants! Bonsai, cactuses and similarly designed artificial plants or flowers. Shun from the socalled lucky fortune bamboos or wishing temple plants lest you become a monk or a martyr for others not living the kind of life you deserve. 5. Shy away from bad feng shui numerology in unit or floor numbers of condo units or townhomes: avoid the number 4 at any cost (death) be it 4th floor or unit number 44,47, etc. Also avoid 7 which attracts conflict! Choose 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 only. 6. Be careful of indoor water features inclusive of fountains and paintings lest you or your husband will stray illicitly from each other. 7. Be careful of decor you put as it may be contrary to your fortune and happiness, say, if a Rat person, never have Horse images, figurines or paintings! Yeah even a horse lover! Each chinese zodiac personality has a jinx counterpart, now you know! 8. Feng shui is practical. Never invest in a condo or townhouse development beside a polluted factory (yes even if its a chocolate factory lest you smell cocoa even in sleep!). Never beside a hospital (versus airborne viral contaminations) or school or prisons! Excusable are cemeteries and memorial parks as these connote you will always be travelling! 9. Make sure your investment is out of love and happiness: picture the beneficiaries of your decision to buy vividly in your heart and mind if only to test if you are making the right move. 10. Last and most important of all: acquire the unit at an auspicious feng shui date based on the Chinese Lucky Calendar or Ton Shu/ Almanac and right time to sign contracts. The same observance for moving in with the right house moving rituals (when to put rice, salt, water, cooking oil, altar, stove and lucky monies) as prescribed by a well meaning professional geomancer or feng shui expert. If it will tickle your investment fancy, choose a unit with a lucky price too! (Like airline tix, those with ending in 168 which means prosperity all the way or 888 which means triple double riches forever! Happy and Lucky Condo or Townhouse Buying Everybody, by the way this applies to any lot or business property investments too!

before Iligan City said her town can help Tagoloan while its new mayor is still finding solutions to the town’s water supply and
garbage problems. Hence her mantra of sharing of resources between local governments which is something new to my ears. That to me is an example of next generation politics, of new ideas, youthful energy and fresh perspective of governance from Mayor Uy. It’s not that Sabio ran under Rep. Uy’s Team Unity even if the congresswoman had helped other local governments aside from Tagoloan in solving their problems in services and projects. And Mayor Jenny Uy, who finished her studies at the University of the Philippines has a clear vision of what she wants to achieve for her constituents in Villanueva town as well as helping neighbors like Tagoloan town. While most mayors would only focus on their own turo, Mayor Uy is more inclusive and that’s the kind of leader we need nowadays. And when their time to lead and serve is over, they can teach another generation of leaders to take over from them. That Mayor Uy told me how she learned about public service from serving as chief of staff to her mother in Congress showed that Mayor Uy is no fish out of water nor a babe in the ugly jungle that is Philippine politics (For questions and comments, email me at susanap.dennis@yahoo.com)

constituents to work with him in instituting reforms in the town. He said by working together, Tagoloan town will ‘never be the same again’ and will be even better than before. Quoting excerpts from the book of Daniel in the Holy Bible the 50-year-old Sabio, former barangay captain of Natumolan, thanked those who supported his mayoral bid including former vice governor Julio Uy. There were Bibles in a nearby table to signify Sabio’s Christian faith. Sabio recounted the first time he ran and lost to then incumbent mayor Heckert Emano, saying he was summoned to Uy’s office and told by the former

Sabio also acknowledged the help of Rep. Juliet Uy of Misamis Oriental’s 2nd district for helping him resolve Barangay Natumolan’s garbage problem. Sabio’s allies in the municipal council include Audie Paduganan and Armando Pomar. The mayor’s wife is elected a barangay councilwoman in Natumolan who is headed by its new barangay or village chief Rafael Vedad. Sabio’s inaugural was also attended by lawyer Sergio “Yoyoc” Yap who is now assistant secretry of the Department of Justice. Yap was emotional as he called on Tagoloan residents to rally behind the new mayor and abandon partisan parochial politics of the Emanos. Other guests included Mayor Jennie Rosalie Uy of Villanueva town who also heads the Mayor’s League of Misamis Oriental chapter, Rep. Uy, Buenavista Agusan del Norte Vice Mayor Amy Pagaspas, various department heads and national officials and employees. Pastor Mandy Gonzales of the Jesus Our Life Global Family Church Alfante State in Tagoloan town emceed the event.

best teacher IF you keep learning and improving each time you do it. That is how you become skilled and professional at what you do. “You live and learn.” But sadly, some of us just live, continuing to make the same mistakes and doing things the way we have always done them, whether it is right and successful or not. The third ingredient for success is knowledge. For example, a salesman needs to know everything about the product or service he sells, and also how to sell it. This kind of knowledge you can get from books, training programs, courses, and from experienced people who will teach you. It is as you continue to learn the new technologies and knowledge that you can stay successful. Success only comes to those who keep trying; so put your knowledge and skills into action. Then your confidence, passion and perseverance each day will keep moving you closer to your goal. A group of teenage boys wanted to get good jobs and do better in school; so a successful businessman started teaching them that if the y simply learned to work hard and work smart, they could succeed much more quickly than they expected. He especially taught them how to have confidence. In just 30 days, all 16 boys had jobs! And in 90 days, some of them had moved up in school the equivalent of two years! But they chose to pay the price for success by working hard and working smart. These same principles were taught to hundreds of criminals in prison who wanted to change and succeed. Of the 800 prisoners, 84 percent stayed out of prison and got good jobs! Why not start on your road to success today? The first step is to ask Jesus to take full charge of your heart and way of living. Then, He can starting helping you as you learn all the skills and knowledge you need to succeed. He will also give you the motivation and passion to fully live His great plan and purpose for your life. Just think a minute.
