Passenger bus burns on Socot highway

MARAWI City--Rather than calling Marawi City a Tarpulin Capital of the Philippines, Senator Richard Gordon said it is better to consider the predominant-Muslim city a City of Inspiration. In his visit here on Monday (June 3) as chairman of the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), Gordon said it is inspiring to be in Marawi seeing tarpaulin hung all over the place congratulating those who passed board examinations or who have graduated from college. “It is most inspiring when I see ‘Congratulations for passing the board exam’, ‘Congratulations for passing the bar exam’, ‘congratulations for passing the PMA (Philippine Military Academy)’,” Gordon said in his

message to almost a hundred of PRC volunteers at the New Capitol Complex Conference Hall in Marawi City. Upon entering Marawi City, tarpaulins of several sizes, bearing photos, names and courses or kinds of board exams, were seen hung, some are put up in woods, congratulating a family member. Many of these congratulatory tarps bear the family names of both parents and grand parents. Some of these tarps are paid See MARAWI, page 11

Despite the many tarpaulins hang around, Senator Richard Gordon, who visited Marawi City on Monday (June 3) in his capacity as chairman of the Philippine Red Cross, said Marawi City is unfair to be called city of tarpulin but a city of inspiration. (Divina M. Suson)

SAGUIARAN, Lanao del Sur--Around six thousand residents here could have an easy access of their water supply after the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) formally turned over on Monday (June 3) the water and sanitation facility at the Bualan Spring in Barangay Bualan. The facility will help not only to the residents of Saguiaran but also of the internally displaced families who are living in the transitory shelter site in nearby Bahay Ng Pagbabago in Barangay Sagonsongan, Marawi City, some two kilometers away. Residents can use the facility in washing their clothes and in fetching water without dealing anymore the thick muds since it was cemented all over.

GENERAL Santos City--A passenger bus was totally burned after catching fire while traveling along the national highway in Tantangan town, South Cotabato province on Monday afternoon. Fire Insp. Russel Basuel, chief of the Tantangan municipal fire station, said Tuesday the Husky Tours bus unit was on its way to Cotabato City via Tacurong City in Sultan Kudarat when it went up in flames in Barangay Magon around 3:25 p.m. He said the bus, with registration plate MWB 724 and body number 4588, came from this city and just made a stop at the Koronadal City integrated transport terminal. Based on accounts from Husky bus driver Abdulmanan Kindi, Basuel said one of the passengers noticed that the rear portion of the vehicle was heating up while it was passing by Barangay See BUS, page 11

On Scientific Realism

By GRETCHEN NOVA P. MANOOP T-III

When God made the heavens and earth things did not end up there. He saw and realize that there was still missing which made it incomplete. He made light and darkness to determine day and night but still God’s insatiable for his creation made Him evolution the dry ground and watered area. God saw them appeared monotonous that is why He decided to embellish His first visible creations by creating animals, plants and His ultimate creation called humans. If God aimed perfection with everything He did which he was able to achieve-so do humans. But what is the difference between God and human is that God has satisfaction-humans does not have. Yes, religion and science cannot be intertwined but God’s step by step way of creating things and realizing the missing piece of the puzzle He had made can correlate with humans’ way of discovering and inventing things. Scientific realism wants to open the mind of every individual that the existence and discovery of things have proven right according to every discoverer but still it

is very much prone to imperfection depending on how others scrutinize it. Science does not define miracle it has pace in every creature’s existence. The theories we have heard, learned and grown up from Aristotle, Dalton and Newton can only satisfy a person’s learning interest based on how a certain being’s curiosity is gratified. Whatever they have contributed to science discoveries they did not let it became untenable and not let these pervade the inaccuracy of things they have discovered. Developmental existence is better than abrupt one. There is no such thing as perfect. Everything has a limit for a common good. Everything undergoes developmental process. On the first hand of every discovery we thought it is perfect but as people get used to it the more they saw its flaws and think which way it could get better and that is what realism wants to convey. Humans will never know what is right or wrong unless bitterness of mistake is tasted. The scientist ahead are the foundations of whatever scientist today have discovered. The new ones are the polisher of

what was being carved already. It does not mean that the validity of the first hand theory will be nulled and void rather it should be considered as ladder of much better inventions and realizations. Technology is not the only thing that ascends but also the minds of every individual. It is like the line people use to say- younger ones are much better than the old ones but the old ones knows what is best for the younger ones. Each theory has its own flaws but if their minds will be set as one –inventions will surely be awesome. Realist made us ponder that scientist proves that the more they discovered things and the more they made problems the more they pervade and justify the unappeasable quality of humans. Whatever things we believe in we consider it as true as it was. We have not seen atom in our naked eye yet we believe their existence and what matters most is the realization that all things on earth has a reason and purpose. Let us make use of them and let us not forget in giving gratitude to the main source of it.

entalks is a word-play for kuryente or electricity and talk that aims to educate customers about the services of the company and how to become wiser and safer electricity users. “Davao Light will keep on providing support to Brigada Eskwela as our commitment to the community because we always believe that many is accomplished if we continue to work together. And this way, we advance business and communities.”, added Velasco. Moreover, Davao Light has also turned over some equipment to add in the Disaster Risk Reduction Program of the schools in preparation for any possible eventualities. Sets of cleaning materials were also turned over to help maintain the

cleanliness of the classrooms. “We, in DepEd, appreciate the help of all stakeholders in the community in making sure that all school facilities are prepared before the start of classes. We are always grateful to the participation of Davao Light to our annual Brigada Eskwela activity and for being our long-time partner in helping us give a better education to the future generation.”, said Davao City Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Ma. Ines C. Asuncion. Around 800 participants composed of Davao Light employees, AboitizPower business units, students, parents and teachers gathered to lend a hand in the annual activity for both Davao City and Davao del Norte areas.

Parents, students and Davao Light employees help together in covering the books for the incoming students of Dujali Central Elementary School (DCES) as part of the electric utility’s Brigada Eskwela activity.

Fun Class 73 reunion of Jose Abad Santos High School in Charlotte IT has been said that a person has to recall a happy memory as often as he or she can and this is especially true when one attends family or class reunions. One such class reunion is is Class 73 of the Jose Abad Santos High School in San Fernando, Pampanga (JASHS) held in North Carolina recently. Jose Abad Santos High School is now named Pampanga High School and it takes pride in one of its former graduates, the late Philippine president Diosdado Macapacal. About 29 people--20 graduates and nine spouses-came from all over the US, Europe and Canada to at-

tend the three-day reunion held last May 16. On the opening day, the batch mates were treated to an arrival dinner at the Ferreras Home in Concord, North Carolina. The host Angel Ferreras is a member of Class 73. Class 73 consisted of 25 sections of 40 to 50 students each or 1,000 graduates that year. Angel and his lovely wife Herminia hosted, a boodle fight (a communal meal in which diners partake of the food spread on the table). Soul music wafted through the early summer night, sparking animated conversations among those present. The dinner at North

Carolina was the first for JASHS 73. Class 73 holds its reunion every one to two years either in the Philippines or in the US. Most of the attendees have never been to NC. Angel wanted to show to friends the best that North Carolina had to offer. “We held a smoke pit barbecue in Concord to Biltmore house/estate in Asheville. They also ate at Bojangles and shopped at Charlotte’s premium outlets,” Mrs. Ferreras said.

The CYNOSURE

Happy Eid al-Fitr, today is a Holiday

A S S A L A M U Alaikom. Happy Eid al-Fitr! Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan (the month-long fasting and cleansing that the Muslim sect around the world observed). It is a thanksgiving to Allah. In the Philippines, Eid al-Fitr is a national holiday in a bid to foster peace and goodwill between all religion in the predominantly Christian country. What activities are in store during the observance of Eid al-Fitr? It is said that it is forbidden to fast on the day of Eid al-Fitr because is a day of celebration. Muslim Filipinos also practice Charity as an obligatory responsibility known as “Zakat al-Fitr.” It

is carried out by giving food and listening to the special sermon to commemorate the occasion. On this day, the Muslim Filipinos engaged themselves in ritual washing before they join the community gathering, usually in a Mosque to offer a special prayer to Allah. More often, this occasion is openly celebrated in large areas where the public is invited. After the attending the ceremonial gathering, the Moslem family normally celebrates the festivity with their families and friends. Once again, Happy Eid alFitr! ------------000------------ Well, the Bureau of Customs and environment

officials witnessed the reexportation of garbage imported from Hongkong on Monday. The 40-footer van, loaded with assorted “computer junks” and “garbage” on board the cargo vessel STIC Nagoya, left the port of the Mindanao International Container Terminal (MICT) in Tagolo-an, Misamis Oriental at 12 noon en route to Hongkong. The re-exportation of garbage and trash back to its country of origin is just the beginning as the country declares war against imported garbage. There is no question that money exchanged hands in these putrid transactions. Until President Rodrigo Duterte issued a directive to return

Cris Diaz

all the garbage to their country of origin, nobody cares at all. In fact, there are apprehensions that hundreds of garbage is out there in the international waters, just within spitting distance, from the country’s coastal territories. Like vultures, these rancid entrepreneurs of illegal transactions are just waiting for the right time to be able to successfully breach the country’s coastal security. A customs official, however, vowed that the problem of garbage sneaking into the country could be checked See HOLIDAY, page 11

A Deeper View

Salary distortion THE wisdom of the position taken by Education Secretary Leonor Briones that if teachers’ salaries be increased as promised by President Duterte this fiscal year, the salaries of the other public sector employees should likewise be increased. There is wisdom to her position being a former national treasurer of the country and part of the economic team during the short-lived Estrada administration. Increasing teachers’ salaries without increasing the salaries of other government employees will just cause so much distortion in the public sector. The Duterte administration may be sincere in its desire to uplift the economic condition of the country’s teachers. Such desire should not be made a justification

in depriving other government employees of a higher pay as if only the teachers have mounting financial woes. Just think of this. Currently, the entry pay for public schools teachers is pegged at a little over P20,000 per month. Add to this entry level pay the usual allowances given them by the local government unit where there teaching station is. On the average, a neophyte public school teacher receives about P23,000 a month. All the other government employees except those in the uniformed services receive an entry pay plus allowances of about P18,000. But remember that, more often than not, teachers in the public schools only teach half day Monday to Friday

while the other government employees report for work eight hours a day Monday to Friday. But still the teachers could not be appeased with their current pay. Let us not forget that we are just talking here of the teacher’s entry pay. The more senior ones are already earning from P28,000 to as high as P40,000 a month. And they are still demanding that the entry pay be at least pegged at P40,000 for, according to them, they are the most lowly paid among the public sector employees. This perennial demand of the teachers for a higher pay is not brought about by a low level pay. It is brought about by their incontrollable penchant to spend beyond their means which is the reason why they are buried with all types of debts.

Jesse E.L. Bacon II

How did this happen? According to some public school teachers I was able to talk with, almost all of them can’t control themselves from buying on credit any item brought to their school by their colleagues or other vendors. Kung may ipa-utang, ang nagpa-utang dili gyud kuno mahigawad. Mouli gyud siya nga ang iyang tanang baligya-on gi-utang na sa mga magtutudlo. That statement was not mine but by a public school teacher who is so scandalized by the behavior of most of her colleagues. That teacher told me her See SALARY, page 11

Billboard 5 Ayala CEO shares thoughts on innovation and disruption FOR ADS PLACEMENT CALL OR TEXT: 0917-712-1424 • 0947-893-5776

mindanaodaily.ads@gmail.com

MAKATI, Philippines – June 3, 2018 Ayala Chairman & CEO Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala shared his thoughts on the future of business, and how companies must continue to evolve amidst disruption. Ayala’s progressive leader discussed the group’s digital transformation journey in response to these changing times, noting that institutions are at risk of falling behind if they are not able to transform. “Companies that do not innovate are in danger of becoming irrelevant,” said Zobel. “We need to be proactive in finding gaps in our current systems and areas ripe for transformation, and we need to act swiftly, even if it means we have to be the ones disrupting ourselves.” Recognizing the need for continuous innovation within the group, Zobel noted that the “innovation mindset” is what fuels the Ayala’s ongoing digital transformation. This consists of five key components which would collectively allow Ayala to further improve operational efficiency, make better strategic decisions, and improve the customer experience. These include both digital and non-digital initiatives to transform existing businesses; investments in new business models and technologies to make services more convenient

and accessible for Filipinos; a more deliberate effort in venture investing through the establishment of a new US$150m ACTIVE Fund; the launch of AC Analytics as the group’s center of excellence for data and analytics; and various initiatives to upskill and empower the group’s talent base. On the urgency of innovation, Zobel said, “Here in the Philippines, there seems to be a pervasive mindset that industries may be slower to change or that disruption will hit us gradually… [However] you’ll see these changes are happening here as quickly as they are anywhere else. If one doesn’t accept that, then you really have a good chance of being left behind.” Such changes are already taking place in Ayala, as its companies gear up to disrupt themselves. Globe Telecom, for example, is forecasting its future business by harnessing the power of big data and mobile technology to better understand its customers and their needs, particularly in the retail space. Secondly, the Bank of the Philippine Islands is transforming its business to make its banking services more insightful, instant, intelligent, informative, and interactive. Lastly, in the logistics space, Entrego, Ayala’s technology-driven logistics

Wednesday, June 5, 2019

solutions provider under AC Infrastructure, aims to stay ahead of the curve by investing in infrastructure, automation, and software to create the capacity to meet its growing consumer demand. As exhibited by these changes, Ayala remains fully committed to its digital transformation as announced at its Annual Stockholders’ Meeting last April 2019.

“Here in the Philippines, there seems to be a pervasive mindset that industries may be slower to change or that disruption will hit us gradually… [However] you’ll see these changes are happening here as quickly as they are anywhere else. If one doesn’t accept that, then you really have a good chance of being left behind,” Zobel said at the 2019 BusinessWorld Economic Forum. He was joined at the event by other Ayala executives: Peter Maquera, Senior Vice-President, Enterprise Group, Globe Telecom, Inc., spoke on “How Big Data & Mobile Technology are Shaping the Future of Retail” Constantin Robertz, President, Entrego, spoke on “Smart Delivery Solutions and the Future of Logistics” Noel Santiago, Chief Digital Officer, Bank of the Philippine Islands, spoke on the “Digital Transformation of a Traditional Bank”

also be disclosed during the AGM. De Tagle told the PNA that airlines have adopted unanimous resolutions -- to call for governments and airports to step up infrastructure development, since the growing congestion in many airports and air traffic control systems will certainly constrain the growth of airline operations and air travel. This issue, he said, will have a negative impact on tourism and economic growth. “(Airlines also made) a resolution asking all governments to support the

CORSIA (Carbon Offset Reduction Scheme for International Aviation), the long-term global effort of airlines to reduce the environmental impact of air travel,” he added. The executive noted that the said environmental impact would be severely lessened if airport congestion would be eased significantly, as the planes would not have to waste fuel during prolonged circling around the airports while waiting to land, or queuing for a long time in taxiways, waiting for their turn for takeoff. “We are also concerned about an escalating trade war among the major economies that may affect

R.A. 9048 Form No. 10.1(CLRO)

economic growth worldwide, and thus (affect) air travel,” he remarked. De Tagle emphasized that airlines hope airports and authorities heed IATA’s call to ensure fair, transparent and equitable allocation of slots at congested airports. (PNA)

colleagues can’t be restrained from buying anything and everything offered to them as long as it is for credit or pautang.

Think of this further. While the public school teachers are demanding for a P40,000 from their present P20,000 entry pay, most private school teachers receive a measly pay of P6,000 to as high as P12,000 a month only. And these private school teachers are made to teach whole day Monday to Friday. The increase demanded by the public school teachers as promised by Duterte will not only result in salary distortion among public sector employees, it’ll make the pay of their counterparts in the

Republika ng Pilipinas LUNGSOD NG ILIGAN Tanggapan ng Sangguniang Panlungsod REGULAR SESSION HELD ON OCTOBER 18, 2018 PRESENT: Jemar L. Vera Cruz, City Vice Mayor, Presiding Officer Samuel P. Huertas, Member Eric M. Capitan, Member Jesse Ray N. Balanay, Member Demosthenes R. Plando, Member Belinda C. Lim, Member Sorilie Christine R. Bacsarpa, Member Rosevi Queenie C. Belmonte, Member Ian C. Uy, Member Rhandy Ryan Francis A. Ong, Member Bernard Y. Pacaña, Member Petronilo G. Pardillo, Member Renato L. Ancis, Member Cesarve C. Siacor, * Member Datu Diamla Rolando D. So-ong, Member Nhicolle B. Capangpangan, * Member ABSENT: (NONE) * - Already out during the deliberation RESOLUTION NO. 18-571 WHEREAS, civil registrations like birth, marriage and death is not priority among the Indigenous Peoples in the country. Studies showed that of the estimated 8,000,000 IPs more than a majority can be considered as undocumented as their vital data (birth, marriage and death) have been largely unrecorded in the local civil registry; WHEREAS, the indigenous people has been often profiled as a mere estimate by government agencies today. When they deliver their children they do not register them. Since many indigenous communities still practice customary marriages, when they get married, they don’t go to the priest nor to the mayor, so they are not officially married; WHEREAS, in the absence of such documents, many of them understand only the implications of non-registration when they face difficulty in transactions requiring proofs of name, age or nationality. This came to the fore when IPS with no birth certificates were denied access to the 4Ps (Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program) and other social services; WHEREAS, though the NCIP is authorized by the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997 (IPRA or Republic Act No. 8371) to issue Certificates of Tribal Marriage (CTMs), which are lawful under civil laws but most of these ritual weddings were never recorded by their respective civil registrars; WHEREAS, because of the IPRA, the Office of the Civil Registrar General (OCRG) issued an administrative order which “offices under the National Statistics Office and the OCRG to register the marriages, its dissolution, births and deaths among indigenous peoples in the Philippines. The order also requires civil registrars to record “indigenous marriages, the dissolution of marriages and the revocation of dissolution of marriages performed under customary laws”; WHEREAS, the House of Representatives has approved on third and final reading a bill providing for a culture-sensitive civil registration system for indigenous peoples (IPs). Under the measure reports by the IPs themselves or their parent/s or by the concerned tribal priest/ elder leader/doctor/midwife concerning birth, marriage, dissolution of marriage and death, which were attended to or were conducted following their traditional cultural practices be acceptable upon the Local Civil Registry Office without requiring any additional documents. WHEREAS, the measure aims to encourage .the participation of the country’s IPs in the civil registration. It will provide both timely and late registration of acts and events concerning the civil status of indigenous peoples, particularly on birth, marriage, dissolution of marriage and death, be rendered free of charge; WHEREAS, in Iligan City, most of the Badjaos and to a lesser extent some Higaonons are still not registered, hence the need for the City Civil Registrar to undertake civil registration project to find out the real number of births, deaths and marriages of the IPs; WHEREAS, once these IPs are identified, the City Government can then train its sight and focus its limited resources on their needs by providing them sustainable programs and services like education, skills training, as members of 4Ps and livelihood assistance; WHEREFORE, on motion of Member Datu Diamla Rolando D. So-ong, duly seconded by Member Bernard Y.

It ruled with impunity in the narrow city roads and were considered as the “king of the road. At that time tartanilla played a big part in the lives of Iliganons; WHEREAS, in the then sleepy Iligan, when it was still striving to earn a rightful place in this part of the country, the clatter of horses’ hooves pounding the bare ground break the silence of the chilly early morning Then, there were more of them, but less now; WHEREAS, in spite of the fact that tartanilla mirrors a reflection of Iligan colorful history, symbolized a century old transportation heritage, and has served Iligan for generations, with the advent of motor vehicles and the avoidance of the descendants of kutseros to inherit the job handed down across generations and lately with the flourishing of trisikads, the tartanilya business viability in today’s urban setting is in jeopardy; WHEREAS, once a vehicle for the elite classes of society, tartanilya now becomes no more than an infamous vehicle scampering about the narrow streets of Badelles Street and Tambacan. Considered in the early days as the main source of income among city’s kucheros, who transport Iliganons from all walks of life to different destinations,’ today, the image of the tartanilla has been downgraded as a means of transportation for the impoverished sectors of the society; WHEREAS, unless the Iligan City Government would give friendly legislative policies to protect the tartanilyas, give financial assistance and increase the income for the daily sustenance of the kutcheros and their families, this historical pride of Iligan City, antiquated may it be, would not be preserved and be lost over time; WHEREAS, there is a need to rejuvenate the washed out memory of the olds and to depict among the raw minds of the new generation the yesteryears of Iligan City when tartanilyas ruled its streets and to look into the welfare of the kucheros and the tartanilla trade to remain sustainable.

Mango growers seek DA’s help over 2-M kilo surplus By LILYBETH ISON

MANILA -- Spurred by an overproduction of around two million kilos of mangoes in Luzon alone, the Department of Agriculture (DA) will launch on June 10 the Metro Mango Marketing Program to help farmers unload their produce. Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel “Manny” Piñol, in a press briefing on Monday, revealed that mango growers have requested for DA’s assistance in selling their harvest as the price of the commodity has dropped to as low as PHP10 a kilo due to overproduction. “The farmers have reported an unusual increase in their harvest this year and they attributed this to the El Niño phenomenon,” he said. Under the program, Piñol said mango of export grade

quality will be sold at PHP50 per kilo at the DA central office in Quezon City. Mango growers have committed to deliver some 100 tons per week. Piñol said the government is also willing to help

mango growers in acquiring storage facilities through soft loans so they can have storage facilities at the community level. Meanwhile, the DA chief said he will issue a directive to conduct an investigation into a Philippine firm reportedly sourcing mangoes from Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. Earlier reports said Justin Uy, Profood founder and president, stated that the 11-hectare processing plant was expected to begin operations in 2019, and that all mangoes dried at the facility would be slated for shipment to the

Chinese market to satiate the nation’s annual 30,000 tons demand. “We would like to know if the mangoes that he sourced from Cambodia and other countries are also labeled as Cambodian mangoes not as Philippine mangoes, because the moment he labeled it as Philippine mango, then we will have to talk to him because that is misrepresentation,” Piñol noted. He said that Uy has (also) “lowered his price so low (to the disadvantage of ) the farmers.” “Now, he (suddenly) stopped buying. He used to buy about 500 tons dai-

ly, now it’s just 20 tons a week. He (Uy) is hurting the mango industry of the Philippines and his only excuse is that Philippine mangoes command higher prices than in other countries,” he added. Piñol, however, said that when they checked the landed cost of imported mangoes that he purchased was PHP20 per kilo. “Our local farmers are willing to sell their mango produce at breakeven price of PHP20 a kilo,” he said. “I don’t understand why he (Uy) would prefer to source his mangoes from Cambodia when there’s a lot of mangoes in the Philippines,” he stressed. According to the data released by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), Ilocos Region led the country with 51,824 metric tons (MT) or 54.6 percent to the country’s total mango production. The other top producing regions are Central Luzon and Western Visayas with 15,686 MT (16.5 percent) and 6,462 MT (6.8 percent), respectively. The Carabao mango accounted for 77,251 MT, or 81.4 percent of the total production in January to March, PSA said. (PNA)

Magon. The official said that after being told of the situation, Kindi stopped the bus by the roadside and safely evacuated all its 40 passengers. “They then saw fire coming out of the rear portion and spreading to the other parts of the bus,” he told reporters. Basuel said they were able to respond to the scene after being alerted by nearby residents led by Magon barangay chair Musa Magon. He said their firefighters were not able to save the bus as the fire spread rapidly and was in “fully developed stage” when they arrived. Citing their investigation, Basuel said the fire could have been caused by faulty electrical connections at the engine. Kindi saw some electrical sparks at the wires going to the battery when the bus unit was starting to burn, he said. He said the bus reportedly underwent a check and minor repairs on the electrical connections of its engine at their base here prior to the trip.

The turn-over of the facility was led by ICRC President Peter Maurer who came to the Philippines for the second time after the Yolanda tragedy in Tacloban. “President (Peter) Maurer visits Marawi City to have a humanitarian dialogue with the local government officials and the locals, including the internally displaced persons to know the needs, two years after the siege, and bring it to the forefront and invite donors for help,” said Lany dela Cruz, Senior Communications Officer of the ICRC.

In cooperation with the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), the ICRC supported 4,500 people in Saguiaran with water, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities. More than 300 PRC volunteers were mobilized to support ICRC activities in Lanao del Sur. PRC Chairman and Senator Richard Gordon said the ICRC and the PRC will continue to help and when

he and Maurer will go to Davao today to meet with President Rodrigo Duterte, he will ask the president to fast track the rehabilitation of Marawi. “We went through a very deadly experience here in Marawi and since day 1, we were already working on the streets to give the evacuees blood pressure, water, food and psychosocial support. We will continue to help,” Gordon said in his message with the volunteers who met Maurer and his party.

responsible for their pets. Don’t get me wrong, I’m writing this to encourage better care of dogs by their owners and local officials can enforce laws to ensure that. Here in the Philippines, a dog is kept on a leash no matter its size presumably because of Republic Act 9482 or the Anti-Rabies Act. At times when these dogs would stop to pee or do any number of things is when the trouble starts. I haven’t seen any dog owner here that cleans up up after their pets while in the US the dog owners carry bags to pick up the feces of their pets. This should be done especially in public places that draw a crowd on most days of the week. It is a reflection on the dog owners who don’t clean up the mess their pets leave behind since they may also not be sanitary when it comes to their households. I saw a girl wearing tight shorts that kept fixing it instead of the dog she was with. Negligent dog owners also don’t care if their pets figure in a fight with other dogs owned by pet owners unless the dogs in question are behemoths. I say dog owners should carry brown bags to pick up their dog’s poop. I searched online for any penalties on leaving dog poop behind but there was nothing. My online search also yielded information on a local ordinance on Anti Rabies Vaccination in Cagayan de Oro. The ordinance mandates the City Veterinary Office to pursue an aggressive vaccination program on stray dogs and I can say that I saw quite a number of them wandering the area where I take my morning walks. Like parents, dog owners need to be responsible for

For those who attended the reunion it was yet another precious memory to be savored in their life’s journey with more to come in next year’s reunion. **************** Being responsible in caring for dogs I WALK with dogs for six times a week and these past few days of my vacation here in Cagayan de Oro City are no exception. My latest walk was at the back of SM City Cagayan de Oro Uptown across St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church and based on my recent observations I wondered if the dog owners in the area knew how irresponsible they are. In Cornelius, North Carolina I made it a habit to walk every day for the past decade. My daily walks have drawn the attention of homeowners who refer to me as “that Asian who walks rain or shine.” I’m accompanied by dogs during my walks and their owners and I observed how these dog owners were

with the help of the people in the community. “For as long as the people are willing to cooperate with the government, and for as long as there are no corrupt public officials, the entry of imported garbage in the country’s port areas could be deterred,” John Simon, the collector of the customs sub-port in Tagolo-an told the Cagayan De Oro media. Big words! ---------000--------- President Rodrigo Duterte has issued a directive to the Commissions on Elections (COMELEC) an end to utilizing the Smartmatic machines in future elections. A number of groups have been clamoring for the return of the “manual counting” in the country’s future elections. Duterte believed that the Smartmatic has lost its integrity and credibility.
