Duterte to Bangsamoro people:

‘Take advantage of your natural resources’ By ANTONIO L. COLINA IV MindaNews

PRESIDENT Ro drigo R. Duterte urged the Bangsamoro people to take advantage of their abundant natur al resources to expedite the economic development of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). Speaking during the 121st Philippine Independence Day celebration at the 6th Infantry Battalion Headquarters in Malabang, Lanao del Sur, Duterte said the Bangsamoro were free

to exploit the riches of their territory after the Republic Act 11054 or the Organic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (OLBARMM), the enabling mechanism of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, had been ratified early this year. In his speech, the transcript of which was provided to reporters by the Presidential Communications Operations Office, Duterte mentioned about developing the 288,000-hectare Ligawasan Marsh, the country’s

largest wetland believed to have untapped fossil fuel reserves. He asked the Bangsamoro people to find partners to “exploit your territory of the riches” and make their territory progressive. But he said the riches of the region are reserved for the young Bangsamoro people. “Para ‘yan sa mga anak ninyo, hindi na ‘yan para sa inyo (It’s for your children, it’s not for you). That was really reserved for our children. Exploit it. Exploit See ADVANTAGE, page 11

MisOr urges sense of nationalism during Independence Day celeb CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- The province of Misamis Oriental has urged individuals to move in one direction in one voice, to have a sense of nationalism to achieve the dream of change. Gerardo P. Sabal III, provincial board member, Misamis Oriental highlighted the message of working as one to achieve the desired change during the celebration of 121st Independence Day in Misamis Oriental.

He said, “Change comes with a sense of nationalism, not a sense of individualism.” “If we continue to be individualistic in our fervour for change, change will not come. But if we move in one direction, in one voice the change that we have always dreamt of will become a realization,” he added. He explained this change is the development that Mindanao is experiencing

right now. “The island of Mindanao has been given opportunity to change to also be a part of development,” he cited. Meanwhile, guest speaker Dr. Lorenzo B. Dinlayan III, professor of Bukidnon State University said we cannot prosper if other sectors are left behind. He explained, one sector that is left behind is the Indigenous People (IP) or the informal settlers. See NATIONALISM, page 8

MisOr dad: Let our liberation an inspiration in fight vs poverty CAPITOL COMPOUND, Misamis Oriental -- Development can be reached only if we produce our way to it and dare what our forefathers did in winning the challenges to liberate us. In his message during the commemoration of 121st Philippine Independence Day, Misamis Oriental Governor Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano expressed his optimism that the liberation we have gained would be an inspiration in the fight against poverty and the limited opportunities so the poor would be freed from hunger and hardship. As we commemorate the Philippine Independence Day, Gov. Emano urged the Filipino people to respect and salute our forefathers who sacrificed their lives so we will be saved from slavery. Thousands have laid

their lives so that we may live with the dignity and rights befitting of a free nation. The governor further said patriotism and the spirit of the Filipino led our triumph against the shackles of slavery and abuse. “Kung walay kagawasan, wala kita’y kaugalingong pangalan, walay kaugalingong panlantaw, walay kaugalingong dungog, ug walay kaugalingong nasud,” Emano said. (Without our independence, we wouldn’t have our own name, vision, prestige, and our own nation) Recalling the sacrifices of our nation’s heroes, Gov. Emano expressed his respect to the lives lost during the war. Without them, we wouldn’t experience the freedom saying, “Let the spirit of their sacrifices lives on.”

Zaldy Ocon’s malfeasance

Public office is a public trust. Public officers and employees must, at all times, be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost responsibility, integrity, loyalty, and efficiency; act with patriotism and justice, and lead modest lives.– The Constitution, Article XI, Section 1E

THE President’s continuing call to rid the bureaucracy of misfits, the arrogant and the corrupt is aimed at dissecting the malfunctions of governance down to local government units. Corruption, arrogance and misfits in government service are therefore social evils with long term effect on the moral fiber of good governance. Like drugs, President Duterte sees corruption, arrogance and misfits in

government as pandemic and needs surgical operation with a sense of urgency. The President reiterated this call during the oath taking ceremony of the elected Cagayan de Oro City officials held at Xavier Estates Country Club. From his own words, the purging continues. His recent call for resignations of all Philhealth key officials is in effect due to reported mismanagement of the agency’s funds entrusted by the lowly taxpayers. Indeed, the words of the President are very clear: “they have to go”. That said, there is now a need for a strong and effective participation of civil society groups to take collective action on the recent spat between re-elected Councilor Zaldy Ocon who

was conspicuously absent during the oath-taking ceremony, and former Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Reuben Canoy, a recognized Mindanaoan icon and supporter of President Duterte. The Remove Ocon Movement, launched on Independence Day, is an acid test for the thinking Cagay-anons to rid City Hall with corrupt and abusive public officials. First and foremost, a public official must not be arrogant and onionskinned. Public office is a public trust and therefore, upon assumption of public office, an elected official like Zaldy Ocon must adhere to ethical standards set by the laws of the land. Having looked at the ways in which corruption and inept services damage the social and institutional

Ruffy Magbanua

fabric of this city, the Crusade for Good Government, a volunteer watchdog in good governance suggest that a sensible punishment system must be put in place to serve as the driving force of reforms in the bureaucracy. In addressing corruption and putting a stop of misfits in governance, the government must create transparency and openness with no arrogance in tow. The more open and transparent the process, the less opportunity it will provide for malfeasance and abuse.

Susan’s Notes

Welcome developments in Claveria town

MY family and I visited Claveria town in Misamis Oriental over the weekend and I was amazed with what I saw. As we sped towards Claveria town passing through several barangays of Villanueva town—for travelers it’s a good twohour ride from Cagayan de Oro at a distance of 70 kilometers—I had my fears based on the quality of roads leading to it. What greeted me on arrival was quite different from my initial expectations. Later I learned that the road we passed through is known as highway 995 and it can be used as a bypass road leading to Gingoog

City and other towns in Misamis Oriental. An infrastructure network of roads, bridges and so on is very critical for tourism, agriculture and mass transport and it serves as the foundation for a local government’s development. Aside from the clean concrete road, the various beautifications made in Claveria town were truly impressive. Villanueva and Claveria towns share boundaries and Villanueva Mayor Jennie Uy and Claveria Mayor Meraluna Salvaleon-Abrogar deserve praise for doing what they can for their respective towns. Again, good infrastruc-

ture is a platform for development. If there were no good roads leading to Claveria and Villanueva towns, how can we expect more tourists visiting them anytime soon? Less visitors mean fewer to zero people buying products from sellers in these towns ergo less to zero money pouring into the local economies. As always it is the legislator or the congressman/woman representing said towns that facilitate the release of funds for these infra projects. Claveria town is in Misamis Oriental’s second district which is represented by Congresswoman Juliette Uy and I can imagine her

Susan Palmes-Dennis

lobbying for funds to be allocated to her district for building infrastructure there such as that 995 highway. If my memory serves me right, then Misamis Oriental governor and now Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno would always get excited mentioning the Kabulig river and the mountains of Lumot, Sumagaya and Balatucan in Claveria town and the improvements being done there during his Capitol days in the mid 2000s.

Think A Minute

Workplace checkup THINK a minute. Do you like your workplace? Is it a peaceful and productive place to work every day? Just as we need to get a checkup on our body to see if we are healthy, today and tomorrow let’s get a checkup on our workplace, since we spend so much of our lives there. The first symptom of an unhealthy workplace is frequent complaining. Employees criticize and trashtalk their company, their fellow workers, managers, customers, or their products and services. They also tell their family, friends and others outside the company how bad things are. A second symptom of an unhealthy workplace is when the employees feel overwhelmed, even hopeless, because no matter how hard and fast they work

they can never finish all the tasks they are expected to do each day. So they must choose either not to do everything, or just rush to get it all finished but not do it well. Another symptom is jealous competition and conflict between fellowworkers. This gossiping, back-stabbing and bullying is called “lateral violence,” which sadly is a problem in many workplaces. A fourth symptom of an unhealthy workplace is one in which employees do not feel appreciated and recognized for their work. The #1 complaint of employees is: “I can do 100 things right and not hear anything about it, but if I do just one thing wrong, they quickly criticize me and make me feel like a failure.” Studies show that most employees

are looking for more than just a paycheck, they want to feel good about the work they do and that they are appreciated at least once in a while for their reliable, quality work. If you realize your workplace has some of these unhealthy symptoms, why not ask God to help you do what you can to help change it into a healthier, happier place for everyone? Ask Jesus to take charge of your heart and attitude, and He will give you His wisdom, kindness and strength every day to make a difference where you work. ***************** Since we spend so much of our life at our workplace, it is important to see what unhealthy conditions we can start changing to improve our daily lives on the job. Let’s complete our checkup

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

we started yesterday. A fifth symptom of an unhealthy workplace is “sleep-working,” similar to sleepwalking. Your body is there, but your heart is not. Your enthusiasm and expectation of a good career that you first had when you started this job is gone. Now you spend more of your time daydreaming at work, escaping through personal phone calls, the Internet, the coffee/tea room, or other non-work activities. You may have lost all hope of ever moving up in your job and career. Another symptom of See CHECKUP, page 11

Duterte dons second star rank to Army commander in Malabang By DIVINA M. SUSON Correspondent

3 women nabbed in drug bust By FERDINANDH B. CABRERA MindaNews

COTABATO City--Three women were arrested in a joint anti-drug operation here Wednesday morning, with the suspects bringing with them four children apparently in an attempt to disguise their operations, authorities said. Joint operatives from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (PDEA-BARMM), Cotabato City police and Special Forces elements from the 5th Infantry Battalion arrested the suspects Raihana Mamalangkay Macalimpas, Malvina Mokamad Duluan and Dacel Duluan around 10 a.m. along Governor Gutierrez Avenue near the barter trade area and fronting the gate of the BARMM compound. According to Direc-

tor Juvenal Azurin, of the PDEA-BARMM, the suspects brought four children in an attempt to disguise their transactions, dealing 200 grams of suspected shabu amounting to P1.3 million. “Upon confirming they brought the item hidden in a mosquito repellent box, the troops immediately jumped to the scene and successfully arrested the suspects,” he said. The suspects, in an interview, told newsmen that a man has told them to bring the item to a certain person, which turned out to be planted by authorities to pose as buyer. The women said they brought the children along because they were reportedly told by a man to bring the suspected shabu, and that they had no idea it would eventually involve an illegal drugs deal. They were report-

edly promised that they will be treated to a famous food store after they bring the item. But PDEA agents are not buying the suspects’ alibi. The husband of one of the suspects, Raihana Mamalangkas, was also arrested last year in Pigcawayan, North Cotabato for possession of half kilo of suspected shabu during a summit on the Bangsamoro organic law which he allegedly attended. He is now detained in a jail in Kidapawan City in North Cotabato. PDEA-BARMM is set to file charges against the apprehended women and coordinating with the local office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for the turnover of the four children to their parents or guardians.

MALABANG, Lanao del Sur-President Rodrigo Duterte donned on Wednesday evening (June 12) another star that promoted Brigadier General Roberto Ancan, commander of the 1st Infantry Division, Philippine Army, to major general, inside the headquarters of the 6th Infantry Battalion, Philippine Army in Barangay Matling, Malabang, Lanao del Sur. President Duterte was in Malabang yesterday to lead the 121st Independence Day celebration and wreath laying to the monument of former chief justice Jose Abad Santos. The donning of rank was given after the president deliver his 10-minute Independence Day message at a separate room inside the battalion compound. The 1st Infantry “Tabak” Division, with headquarters located in Labangan, Zambo-

anga del Sur, has operation control over Marawi City and parts of Lanao del Sur, excluding Malabang. In a statement sent by the 1st Division’s Public Affairs Office to the media, Thursday morning, Ancan said he is privileged and honored “because no less than our commander-in-chief donned the 2nd star rank that I’ve earned in my military career.” “Rest assured that I will continue to serve the constituents in our area of responsibility and lead our troops in the accomplishment of our mission,” Ancan said in a statement. Ancan, a member of Philippine Military Academy “Hinirang” Class of 1987, is the 45th commander of the 1ID, replacing retired Major General Roseller Murillo in February 2019. An Airborne Ranger with expertise in training, operations and managerial

acumen, Ancan hails from Victorias, Negros Occidental and a graduate of Master in Management Major in Public Management. Ancan was the second Army general Duterte donned a second star rank in Lanao del Sur since the Marawi siege in 2017. At the height of the fivemonth war, then Brigadier General Rolando Bautista, who was the ground commander of the Joint Task Force Marawi, was the first Army general who received his second star from Duterte inside the main battle area in Marawi, the capital of Lanao del Sur. He was at that time the commander of the 1ID. After his retirement last year, Bautista, who also became a commander of the 1st ID, was appointed by the president as secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

For trucks, there is a specific carr ying capacity -- do not overload because that will affect your breaks,” Mayor Sara said in an interview at the sidelines of the gathering of barangay leaders at The Tent of Azuela Cove in Lanang, this city. The mayor issued the call following a fatal road accident along the Carlos P. Garcia Highway that left nine persons dead and two injured Tuesday when a cargo truck lost control and rammed into eight other vehicles. Sara said the city government’s public safety office has already suggested to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) the installation of safety devices along busy highways to prevent similar

incidents. A report from the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) said the truck driven by Joel Sinampay Aras, 36, was traveling towards the northern part of the city when the accident happened. Aras claimed that he suddenly lost his brake and rammed into two vans, a Kia Sportage, Honda CRV, a tricycle, and three more vehicles. Capt. Maria Teresita Gaspan, DCPO spokesperson, said eight died on the spot, one expired while on the way to the hospital, and two were critically injured. Six of those who died were identified as Jhonnyvee Congcong Ustan, Renato Congcong Lozada, Emily Dionela Viernes, Rabbi Kylle Viernes, Carmen Remoroza Saniel, and Danny San Luis. Gaspan said Aras will face charges of reckless imprudence resulting in multiple homicides, serious physical injur y, and damage to property. (PNA)

We focus on fulfilling our mandate to the Filipino public – DSWD THE Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) continues its tradition of dedicated and untiring public service under the able leadership of Secretary Rolando Joselito D.

response services to aid the Local Government Units (LGUs) in said areas with barely two weeks in civil service. He also ensured that social welfare and development programs and services were efficiently delivered and managed during the See MANDATE, page 8

STATE-run Social Security System (SSS) tapped nine (9) domestic fund managers to manage part of its Investment Reserve Fund (IRF) worth P7 billion to help improve pension fund’s earnings from investments. SSS President and CEO Aurora C. Ignacio said the pension fund deployed P1 billion each for three Balanced Fund Mandates, three Pure Equity Fund Mandates, and one Pure Fixed Income Fund Mandate. An investment mandate is an instruction to manage the pool of capital or funds, using a specific strategy and within certain risk parameters. Earlier, SSS opened the bidding to hire nine local fund managers to manage the P9 billion investible funds which are divided equally to three types of mandate namely: Balanced Fund Mandate, Pure Equity Fund Mandate, and Pure Fixed Income Mandate. Ignacio said the local fund managers underwent an open and competitive bidding and transparent evaluation process. After the bidding process, only P7 billion was deployed to qualified fund managers. Under the Balanced Fund Mandate, SSS selected the Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation, BPI Asset Management, and Trust

Corporation and ATRAM Trust Corporation who will each manage P1 billion investible fund. For Pure Equity Fund Mandate, BPI Asset Management and Trust Corporation, Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, and Philequity Management, Inc. will each handle P1 billion investible fund. Meanwhile, BPI Asset Management and Trust Corporation was entrusted to oversee P1 billion investible fund for the Pure Fixed Income Fund Mandate. “The SSS management believes that it will benefit from the investment valueadded services of the fund managers such as training, access to proprietary investment analysis and information and access to business analytics,” Ignacio said. Under the old charter of the SSS, the pension fund is allowed to appoint local or foreign fund managers to manage the IRF. SSS’ investment reserve fund as of the end of 2018 period stood at P495.6 billion wherein bulk of it, or 43 percent is invested in government securities, 19 percent in equities, another 19 percent in loans to members, 3 percent for bank deposits, 8 percent for corporate notes and bonds,

Industry Leaders Maintain Bullish Outlook on the Banking System The BSP has published the Report on the Banking Sector Outlook Survey (BSOS) for the Second Semester of 2018. Survey results show that banks maintain their optimism on the country’s economic prospects as 86.1 percent of respondents expect the domestic economy to grow between 6 percent and 7 percent within the next two years. More importantly, the outlook on the Philippine banking system remains stable for 70.2 percent of all respondents, with

the rest mostly expecting a stronger banking system. Upbeat projections led more than 72 percent of respondents to expect double digit growth in assets and deposits, while 81.0 percent and 92.4 percent expect loans and profits to grow more than 10 percent, respectively. The upgrade of the S&P Global Ratings Banking Industry Country Risk Assessment (BICRA) of the Philippines also contributed to the optimism. Universal and commer-

cial banks (U/KBs) are most eager to expand market coverage with 75.8 percent and 84.4 percent of respondents projecting double digit growth in assets and loans, respectively. Meanwhile, 76.9 percent of rural and cooperative banks (R/CBs), ahead of other bank types, aim to grow deposits by 10 percent or more. For their part, thrift banks (TBs) are most optimistic on their profits as 97.0 percent of respondents anticipate double digit net income growth.

To realize the expected bank growth, the respondents set the following strategic priorities for their operations: to grow the bank; to optimize use of available technology; and to protect the bank. Meanwhile, the use of technology is expected to reshape the future landscape of the banking system as 73.5 percent of banks have plans to use technology in their transactions in the near term.

EMOTIONALLY STABLE? By CLAREN MAE A. PAJARON Teacher-I Governor Pelaez Elem. School

Have you been so stressed with all the negativities in front of you? Have you felt really down because somebody told you how you weren’t good enough? Are you easily affected by rumors that you wanted to quit and shut yourself in your house? Or are you emotionally stable (emotional stability is the capacity to maintain ones emotional balance under stressful circumstances.) I’ve met dif ferent people from all walks of life and it made me realize how stability in work and finances do not guarantee emotional stability. There are so many rich people who are so fond of how rich they are. Rich people who can immediately decide to travel anywhere, shop everything or buy anything they want, yet, they go to bed feeling empty and lonely. There are also people on the other hand of whom, though are not financially blessed but happy. Those people who are contented and happy even if they only have the simplest meal one could ever have. Those people who do not have much of things to show off to the world but have friends and family who love and accept them no matter what. Those people who sleeps soundly at night knowing they did nothing to drag down, belittle or embarrassed anyone. Emotional stability, does not come with how much finances you could earn everyday or every month. Emotional sta-

bility comes from the peace of mind that helps you get a sound sleep at night. It comes from the real love you get from the family you have built. It comes from the genuine hugs, kisses, concern and bonds of your friends. It comes from the confidence that no matter how destructive others’ criticism may have, you will never be shaken for you know your own capabilities and potentials better. And for the teachers, like me, emotional stability comes from the satisfaction and rewarding feeling of seeing your pupils learn, use that knowledge in dealing with the real world, and succeed in their own. With the different activities and things to consider to survive the harsh reality of life, we tend to forget that the essence of living is to live a life with a happy heart. Being happy despite the many adversities we may encounter, taking life to the best positive way that we can is surely of great help to surpass emotional instability. Prioritizing the most important individuals or group of individuals and putting their best interest in mind is very helpful as well. And lastly, the time you give yourself to relax and have fun despite the busy schedule will help you keep your sanity and happiness. So what are you waiting for? Go reward yourself with an hour of relaxation and happiness, with the people you love of course!

“We have to review our commitments with our Lumads or IPs, who fought and to continue to fight land rights and gender equality,” he said. “We cannot just enjoy the freedom we experience in Misamis Oriental when there are certain sectors in our society we have not given attention,” he added. “We work hand in hand.

The City Mayor said he referred to the Philippine National Police (PNP) the advisory of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) regarding a sectarian group allegedly operating investment scheme, and asked the police to assist the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in its enforcement operation. In his public pronouncements, he also had cautioned people against taking the gamble of losing their money to such scams. “It is your money you can decide on your own but be careful”, he said. Lately, Rellon summoned all investment scheme operators and their representatives in a meeting during which he told them not to play games and make the Tagumenyos victims of money-making schemes. “Ayaw binuangi ang katawhan sa Tagum kay nailhan na mo,” (Don’t fool the people of Tagum for you are known) he said recalling his message to them. Aside from identifying them, Rellon also challenged them to comply the necessary requirements of running their businesses in the city. (PIA XI/ Jeanevive Duron Abangan)

PNP-12 warns illegal investment operators anew problem, following President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s verbal directive last week for law enforcement agencies to put a stop to the proliferating illegal investment schemes. The President specifically cited the operations of the Kapa Community Ministry International, Inc., a registered religious group that has been soliciting investments in the form of donations at a monthly interest of 30 percent. In its defense, Kapa argued it is operating as a religious organization that

is no different from other sects that receive offerings from its members. Agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) conducted a series of raids in the past several days against Kapa, targeting the house of its founder Pastor Joel Apolinario in Barangay City Heights here and offices in parts of the country. The operations here, which were based on a search warrant issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 20 in Manila, were

GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- The Police Regional Office (PRO) 12 (Soccsksargen) on Thursday warned various entities and individuals operating illegal investment schemes to stop their activities or face the “full force of the law”. The police issued the warning in the wake of the ongoing crackdown by the national government against various pyramiding or Ponzi-like investment schemes that have been proliferating in some parts of the country. Brig. Gen. Eliseo Tam Rasco, PRO-12 director, said these activities are considered “criminal acts” and that the police have been continuously monitoring

the involved entities, groups, as well as individuals. Rasco vowed that they are committed to use every tool at their disposal to find and stop “these illegal activities and bring its operators to justice.” “Cheating investors out of their earnings and savings is not a business plan. We have already filed numerous cases in court and we will not hesitate to invoke the full force of the law against you,” he said in a statement. Rasco said he convened on Tuesday the various PRO-12 units and local commanders to tackle the EXTRA-JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE OF MARGARITA M. LABADAN WITH ABSOLUTE SALE OF A PORTION OF LAND

DOLE-12 releases P5.5-M livelihood grants to informal workers By ALLEN ESTABILLO

GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in Region 12 (Soccsksargen) released around PHP5.5 million worth of livelihood grants in line with the 2019 Independence Day or Kalayaan job and business fairs here on Wednesday. Sisinio Cano, DOLE-12 regional director, on Thursday said the grants were received by five local government units (LGU) and a group of vendors, which availed of the assistance under the DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program. He said the assistance will benefit at least 438 marginalized and informal workers in five localities in the region. The recipients are the municipal governments of Alamada (PHP1.85 million) and Pigcawayan (PHP665,041) in North Cotabato; Barangay Poblacion, Malungon (PHP992,600) and Paraiso,

Alabel town (PHP587,335) in Sarangani; Tacurong City (PHP996,700) in Sultan Kudarat; and Tacurong Terminal Vendors Association (PHP500,000). Cano said they turned over the checks and certificates of availment to the recipients on the sidelines of the Kalayaan-Trabaho, Negosyo, Kabuhayan job and business fairs held at the SM mall trade hall here. He said the grants will fund the implementation of livelihood projects that were proposed by the beneficiaries, through their partner LGUs. “The approved projects were for Yacon wine processing, coffee processing, motor parts and motor servicing store, and water refilling station,” Cano told reporters. Some of the beneficiaries will receive starter kits of basic implements, materials and initial capitalization for various small business ventures, he said. See GRANTS, page 11

the natural resources and make the Moro rich,” the President said. He told them to “take advantage of it and hurry up the progress of the place,” reiterating his commitment that he would not allow anyone to benefit from it as he wants the Bangsamoro people to get first dibs in the oil deposits. “We will not allow other Christians to benefit from it. Kayo muna. ‘Pag may sobra kayo, maawa naman kayo sa kapwa ninyo (You’re first. But if there’s excess, have mercy on your fellowmen),” he said. Duterte also assured government workers of the newly-established BARMM that he would work on their salaries immediately. “For the BARMM guys, ‘yung wala pang sweldo (those who have no salaries yet), I will work on it when I come back,” he said. According to Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), the Ligawasan Marsh consists of river tributaries, small lakes and ponds, freshwater marshes, and some 140,000 hectares of arable land that surfaces and gets cultivated during dry months. It added the marshland “supports species of threatened endemic birds, including the Philippine eagle and the Philippine duck, the Philippine crocodile, and various other species.” Based on the report released by the Philippine Statistics Authority last May, the BARMM showed a strong gross regional domestic product (GRPD) of 7.2% in 2018, the second highest next to Davao Region in Mindanao and the fourth highest among the country’s 17 regions.

Police, the local government unit and the academe also participated in the flag raising. It was the second Independence Day flag raising since 2016, following last year’s ceremony, but this year is more significant according to Faisal Ronda, principal of Butig National High School, because the old municipal building, where the Philippine flag was hoisted, has been fixed already. In February 2016, the first military operation was conducted to rescue the six sawmill workers abducted by the extremists as part of the initiation of those who finished their training. Four of the six victims were freed but the two others were beheaded. Their headless bodies were retrieved by the military troops during the operation while their heads were recovered at the training area in Barangay Poctan. The old municipal building was heavily damaged by

bullets when the extremists tried to occupy the government building although they successfully hoisted their black ISIS flaglet. “Bihira lang tayo magdiwang ng Independence Day dahil sa security. Kung hindi dahil sa 49th IB, hindi tayo nakapagdiwang ng ganito,” Ronda said in his message. (We only celebrate Independence Day very often because of security. If not of the 49th IB, we could not celebrate it like this.) After the flag raising, ten soldiers of the 49th IB were given award for successfully neutralizing Owayda Benito Marohomsar or Abu Dar during their combat operation in March this year. Abu Dar was reported to have replaced Abu Sayaff leader Isnilon Hapilo, the appointed emir (leader) of the ISIS in South East Asia, who led the Marawi siege. “Ang pagiging hero ng isang tao ay hindi lang yan porke sundalo ka porke teacher ka, taga gobyerno ka, lahat po tayo ay hero sa ating pang araw araw na buhay,” said Lieutenant Colonel Edgar Allan Villanueva, commander of the 49th IB. (Being a hero doesn’t mean you havd to be a soldier or teacher or a government worker because all of us are heroes in our every day lives.) Villanueva urged residents of Butig to continue with their cooperation to the local government unit to maintain the peaceful life in their municipality that they enjoyed after the 2016 Butig armed conflict.

the tragic 1998 crash of a Cebu Pacific airline at the Sumagaya area and it made my weekend visit to Claveria town all the more interesting. Among the many attractions in Claveria that my family and I chanced on was the now famed Claveria View Deck at Route 995 in Barangay Lanise. The view deck was inaugurated and opened to the public in February this year. On the view deck one can see the magnificent beauty of the mountain range that straddles Claveria town. It was a bit windy and sunny at the time and the skies later brought some welcome rainfall to cool the surrounding area. The view deck continues to draw visitors from for and wide and I don’t mind paying the P5 fee for the toilets which I found to be quite clean. I join the residents of Claveria in praying that more development comes to their town. In fact I hope that more infrastructure development comes to Misamis Oriental province. …,……….

MisOr Beauties, restaurant owners honor wounded soldiers CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City -Soldiers confined at the Philippine Army’s Camp Evangelista Station Hospital in Cagayan de Oro City were treated with an Independence Day surprise as reigning Miss Kuyamis 2019 beauties paid them a visit, June 12. The 11 Misamis Oriental beauties were joined by members of the Cagayan de Oro Hotel and Restaurant Association (COHARA), and paid tribute to the heroism and sacrifices of Filipino soldiers as the entire nation celebrated its 121st Independence Day. The group distributed gift packs and joined the soldiers confined at the hospital for a simple lunch. COHARA’s Immediate Past President Nelia Lee said the simple tribute was their way of expressing their gratitude to the Filipino soldier. “We are here today to share our blessings to our dear heroes. We are aware of your great sacrifices for our country, and we would like to honor you even in a small way. Thank you for

your service”, Lee said. “We know about the sacrifices and the price you pay to preserve our freedom that is why we are greatly honored and grateful to be with you during this special day. Maraming salamat po sa inyo and our salute to you sirs”, the ladies said. They also said that it was their first time to celebrate Independence Day with the true heroes of the country. Maj. Gen. Franco Nemesio Gacal, the Commander of 4th expressed his thanks to the visitors for celebrating the country’s freedom with the soldiers. “In behalf of our soldiers and their families, thank you very much for honoring the sacrifices of our soldiers- our modern day heroes. This is truly a morale- booster to our soldiers and their dependents”, Gacal said. At present, there are soldiers being treated in the said Army hospital because of various combatrelated injuries. They have expressed their intention to go back to the battlefield after recuperation.

(CCBPI) has also recently announced its plan to invest in a PHP1-billion next generation, state-of-the-art, food-grade recycling facility in the country that will transform used recyclable PET plastic bottles into new and useful beverage bottles again. Institutionalizing a sustainable economic system of recycling is seen to lead to the improvement of the countr y’s polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles collection and recycling rates. It will also lead to increased job generation for Filipinos and the development of an inclusive system that will help uplift the livelihood of workers across the waste materials value chain, ultimately contributing in the improvement of the country’s recyclable plastic collection and recycling rates, and consequently reducing ocean plastic leakage.

EU member-countries will also attend. The participation of new investors to this event, Tria said, shows that “there is growing interest in Davao and in the other areas. It is also correcting the negative perception of Mindanao brought by the declaration of martial law.” (PNA)

Kapa legal counsels said the search warrants were deceptively obtained, alleging that the NBI failed to inform the Manila court about an existing injunction that prohibits the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) from enforcing the closure order against the group.

He said the police have been ordered to check the legality of the companies in coordination with other concerned law enforcement agencies. (PNA)
