n NTC implements ‘unrealistically low fines’ prescribed by old laws like the Public Services Act of 1936 (Commonwealth Act 146) that sets a fine of not more than P200 per day.

THE quality of the Philippine telecommunication regulatory environment is significantly below international standards, according to a recent study of state think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS).

Authors Ma. Kristina Ortiz, Ramonette Serafica, and Jose Carlos Alexis Bairan, in their discussion

paper, explained that the Philippines has an overall rating of 52.50, which is midway of the ideal level in the scoring system set by the International Telecommunications Union.

This makes the Philippines the second lowest among seven Southeast Asian countries assessed.

The other six are Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand,

Vietnam, Myanmar, and Cambodia.

The seven countries were assessed in four clusters: regulatory authority, regulatory mandate, regulatory regime, and the competition framework.

Of the four clusters, the Philippines scored lowest in the regulatory regime with only 7 out of 30 points (23%). Regulatory regime

reviews specific regulatory interventions and covers the kind of targeted regulation needed to promote a healthy competitive environment.

For one, the Philippines does not issue global/unified licenses, which is considered optimal and reflects increased market liberalization in the global market.

Like Myanmar, it does not compel operators to

make publicly available information about interconnection. Myanmar, however, requires quality of service monitoring but not the Philippines.

P350m rehab facility to rise in Sarangani

By Allen Estabillo, PNA

GENERAL Santos City--The provincial government of Sarangani has acquired a three-hectare property in Alabel town for the site of the P350-million regional drug treatment and rehabilitation center that will be built through a grant from the Chinese government.

Sarangani Governor Steve Chiongbian Solon said they finalized earlier this week the purchase of the lot worth P3.6 million located in Purok 4, Barangay Kawas in Alabel, following negotiations with the landowners.

The governor personally received the property’s certificate of title after releasing the payment to landowners led by Charita Mamporte HARVEST.

By GERRY LEE GORIT, Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City--Health Secretary Paulyn Jean Ubial has denied on Friday she has links to the Middle East-based terrorist group ISIS through a Kuwaitiowned visa processing company Winston Q8 based in Manila.

Speaking to reporters in a hotel here, Ubial said she is willing to shed light on the issue and expressed her willingness “to cooperate with any investigation by proper authorities to look into allegations the [Department of Health] sanctioned the continuing operations of Winston Q8.”

The Maute Group, which is now fighting government troops in Marawi City since May 23, has pledged its allegiance to IS. Reports said Winston Q8 was allegedly managed by people with connection to ISIS, but the accusation by some lawmakers in the House of Representatives that Ubial has “ties” to the company is “not only false but highly malicious and libelous,” said a statement released by the DOH to the media on Friday.

Ubial was accused of colluding with Winston Q8 for not stopping its accredited clinics of collecting exorbitant fees.

The DOH, through the Office of Health Regulations and Health Facilities, said it has already revoked the accreditation of medical clinics contracted by Winston Q8 due to violations of existing laws, among them the collection of additional medical certification and visa accreditation fees to Kuwait-bound Overseas Filipino Workers on behalf of Winston Q8.

Breastfeeding can substantially lower risk of cancer

Women who breastfeed their children have been found to be at substantially less risk of developing uterine cancer, according to researchers at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute on Wednesday.

Dr. Susan Jordan, head of the Cancer Causes and Care research group at QIMR Berghofer spoke to Xinhua on Wednesday, saying that women who breastfeed at least one child have a lower risk of contracting cancer of the uterus.

“We found that the longer women breast-fed each child, the more their risk of uterine cancer reduced, up until nine months when the reduction in risk plateaued,” Jordan said.

The research into the link between breastfeeding and this form of cancer was the largest ever undertaken, with the team at QIMR

Berghofer analyzing data collected from over 26,000 Australian women, with over 9,000 of those having uterine cancer.

“We looked at the total amount of time these women had spent breastfeeding over the course of their lives,” Jordan said.

“We found that women who had ever breastfed had an 11 percent lower risk of developing uterine cancer than women who had never breastfed.”

Within the results was also an interesting correlation between the duration of the breastfeeding and subsequent lowering of the likelihood of contracting uterine cancer, with women who breastfed for three to six months having a 7 percent less risk of the cancer, and women who breastfed See LOWER, page 11

Priest’s kin hold daily prayers for safe release of Maute group hostages

Family members of Fr. Teresito “Chito” Soganub offer prayers before an altar at their ancestral house in Norala, South Cotabato on Thursday (1 June 2017) for his safe release or rescue from the Maute Group in Marawi City.

NORALA, South Cotabato-Family members of Fr. Teresito “Chito” Soganub are praying for miracles for his and the other captives’ safe release from the hands of the Maute group in Marawi City.

“We’re praying for the Lord for miracles. We’re also praying that the hearts of the captors will be touched so they will be safely released,” Marilyn Soganub-Ginnivan told MindaNews Thursday here.

Marilyn, the fifth among the six Soganub siblings, said they’re also hoping that Muslim religious leaders will help work for the release of the priest, who was abducted along with some church workers at the St. Mary’s Cathedral in Marawi City.

“He’s well-loved by the

Surigao Norte quake victims to get housing aid from govt SURIGAO City––All 6,000 families whose houses were destroyed by the magnitude 6.7 that hit Surigao del Norte early this year are set to receive the government’s emergency shelter assistance.

This, after the Department of Social Welfare and Development in Caraga Region (DSWDCaraga) this week resumed the distribution of the cash assistance to the remaining 1,237 families

that previously experienced delay in receiving the financial aid.

In his visit two days after the tremor struck this city and several Surigao del Norte towns on February 10, President Rodrigo Duterte vowed to release P2 billion for relief and rehabilitation efforts that included housing assistance.

Hundreds of families, however, were unable to receive their

Muslims there because of his inter-religious works.

He’s been very active in the efforts to harmonize the relationship between Christians and Muslims there,” she said.

The 57-year-old priest, vicar general of the Prelature of Marawi, grew up in this rustic municipality. He has been serving the prelature for 22 years now. He is the eldest in the brood.

Fr. Chito’s family members and friends have been offering prayers daily at their ancestral house here since they confirmed on the second day of the Marawi siege that he was abducted by the Maute group.

Clashes between government troops and the Maute group erupted on May 23 in Marawi after law enforcers reportedly tried to arrest

Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon, who, according to the military, is being protected by the local terror group.

The hostilities prompted President Rodrigo Duterte to place the entire Mindanao under martial law.

On Tuesday, the priest appealed in a video posted on the internet asking Duterte to pull out the government troops or stop the military offensives in Marawi. He spoke amid a backdrop of rubble believed to have been caused by gunfire.

Roqueto, the third of the Soganub siblings, confirmed that it was his brother on the video.

“We are happy to see him alive,” Roqueto said.

Terrorism must be defeated THE Philippines is confronted by so many trials that worry a lot of Filipinos around the archipelago.

There are fighting in some areas in Luzon, in the Visayas and many parts of Mindanao. We have the bandits in Jolo, who specialize in kidnapping for ransom, the illegal immigrants in the southern ports of the country, the age-old problem with the NPA, the scalawags in the police and military, the corrupt high ranking public officials, the Maute terrorist group, the killers in the night, gang wars, the robbers, petty criminals, etc. To be in this kind of society is not easy. I see many people are hungry everyday and this is the latest in line of new terrorism.

A sultan offered to mediate the battle in Marawi to end all hostilities. I admire the sultan but to me terrorism must be defeated and vanished. By settling it with the government would only mean such bad element exists in society. I wish to say that the evil and the good can never be mixed and exist hand-in-hand with any civilization. The evil must not exist.

dure. Because of this belief, things go on normally and the “tong system” is part of standard procedure.

Sometimes, I think the New Peoples Army has a point in making actions against the government, but again, they kill the poor farmers and people in the hinterlands. They do not touch the corrupt public officials who have impoverished the country and economy over the years.

The battle in Marawi City is worsening and causing so much problem to our people who have to evacuate or face death from the terrorists. Sadly, it is giving real headache to the military and civilians. It is a confrontation that never had its parallel in the past.

I am just wondering how come all these problems cropped up just now.

We didn’t have these some years ago. Our country used to be very peaceful and clean bereft of big crimes and corruption in the government system.

And it is very heartening that there seems to be no solution and our leaders just do not mind at all. I am glad our justice system is working and has been sending to jail some big

retary Delfin Lorenzana of the Department of National Defense told them in confidence during an executive session of the Senate on the Marawi City rebellion and invasion, I was compelled to remember the late Court of Appeals Justice and Civil Law bar reviewer par excellence Desiderio Jurado.

I took my bar review in Civil Law under him at the UP Law Center when I was about to take the bar examinations in 1982. To assure me and my fellow bar reviewees then to seriously study the subjects he was tackling, he would often say, “If this question on civil law will not appear

as a bar question, you can find the highest tree in the Supreme Court and hang me there.”

This style was so effective that all of us studied harder, including his daughter, Roxanne, also reviewing then. After the exams, nobody tried to find the highest tree, of course. Now, minority senators feeding the media with Lorenzana’s confidential report that there was allegedly no need for martial law in Marawi City, I hope somebody will not try to find the highest tree in the Senate grounds and hang them there.

-oooTREACHERY BY SENA-

Atty. Batas Mauricio

TORS ON MARAWI SIEGE: I say what these senators did was treachery of the highest order, not only to Lorenzana, and to their fellow senators and the Senate as an institution, and to President Duterte, but more as against Filipinos in Mindanao, and in Luzon and Visayas as well. It was treachery because publicizing a highly confidential report, given to them in strict confidence, undermined national security and public interest.

‘(Un)boxed’

In the age where creativity, hindsight and foresight is power—and let me clarify that “knowledge is power” idea must be refined further because behind new knowledge lies the brewing of imagination and the ferment of wisdom—we should be more appreciative of those who do not toe the line with “established philosophes”. I am referring to what some Boholanos and Manileños assert in the coming group art exhibit at Qube Gallery (Cebu) that will open on June 30, 2017. Being the writer of this show’s notes, let me share my own critique: We can either be drawn to the vexation of the average: “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with their song still in them (Henry David Thoreau)”, or be a nonconformist. All art is based upon being iconoclastic and every great achievement in history has been brought either by

blood or the reputation of the maverick. Without nonconformity, do not expect the emergence of a nation, a philosophy, a science, a Magna Carta and you find fewer religions.

The group show, “(Un) boxed”, underscores that to limn something in any field—especially one of prodigious quality—requires being a bohemian. That is why the artist is in constant friction with the present way of things or may simply wish to add his or her views to the existing system.

With this in mind, an artist usually has both a degree of detachment and involvement with his or her milieu.

Detached because only the separated can perceive the qualities and properties of things. The artist sees how colors augment colors or how shapes stay with shapes—modifying, relating and mingling mutually.

He or she sees the tensions between the contemptible

and the much-loved, between the grotesque and the sad, tensions of such special character as to be almost imperceptible. In how these are juxtaposed lies the essence of life in any era. Whoever captures life should be isolated from the “box”.

But you will be surprised that the artist’s isolation should co-exist with his or her involvement. This is also a sine qua non of expression because he or she must never fail to experience humanity’s gratification, despair and fear for in them lies the source of feeling upon which the artwork is registered.

The feeling must create its own speeches, unique from someone else’s.

Detached and involved at the same time, artists become critics of society and partisans in its burning causes: there seems to be no exact place where nonconformity can be fitted in.

Consider, however, that

Lucell Larawan

being oddballs or “rebels”, as people would label (artists), is the basic pre-condition of art and good thinking; and therefore, of growth and eminence. The degree of nonconformity in a society must be looked upon as a sign of health.

Strike out the critic, kill the maverick, but without them, any society of whatever level of advancement or perfection must decay.

In this group exhibit, the works of upcoming artists demonstrate their critiques to existing systems and structures. We reckon the eyes of seers.

Technology Role in Education of Today

By Delma Ivy S. Ayco,Teacher I Old Damulog Elementary School

Today, everyone knows what a prominent role technology plays in our education and society as well. Technology is rampant and not new to everyone, because that is the new trend in making all the works excellent and fast. It plays a big role and been always a part of lives of many people every day especially in the education of generation today. Younger generation has been raised with this constant influx of technology around them and eventually most of them practically do not know life without it. Growing up in

an age of technology is a double-edged sword. While it has a lot of advantages, it has just as many, if not more, disadvantages.

The use of technology from a very young age helps a lot of activities in schools, due to the fact that it helps pupils or students who definitely want to learn, as well as makes it possible for each student to learn at their own pace. Additionally, it allows learning to become more interactive than it has ever been before. Children essentially have the world readily available at their fingertips if they want to know something they can

look it up on the internet and in just a snap of a finger or few seconds they will get and have the answer they want.

The statement mentioned earlier were dramatically obvious helpful, but still many argue that disadvantages are much stronger than the advantages. Growing up with technology continuously around them, their great focus in technology is remarkable, children have a greater chance of becoming dependent on it, and become overly used to relying on it for everything. Among other effects were this can have a serious impact on their social skills and social life relationships.

New Setting of Education

By Anthony P. Villar, Head Teacher-I San Isidro Elementary School

Change is a constant thing in this world. While the world is changing for progress it requires education to increase its power to educate people because the world today is demanding for greater abilities, knowledge and skills to its people.

Changes occurs every where and anywhere; it can happen with just a blink of an eye or a snap of your fingers. There is progress when there is change the two always come together like no one could live without one whether the progress is for good or

for bad.When it comes to education, change is also present; from the Spanish period where men only are sent to school to the present period where both men and women are in school learning, from the tree sheds to brick classrooms, and from the teacher centered to learner centered approach of teaching where acquiring knowledge is exciting and relevant.

Calls for creativity and transparency strike at the roots of mainstream traditional Asian values; posed as

freedom versus authoritarian values renders the issues intractably adversarial. The two are of course interrelated and they are products of the dynamic interplay between emerging modern culture with freedom and capability to assume responsibility, and automatic deference to authority which is traditional.

Thus, the new education has not only to engender new knowledge; it has also to shape new values. In this regard, the new education is indeed the making of a new milieu. There should be setting where community and school interacts; where learn-

PELAEZ, as Boy Scouts of the Philippines National Executive Board Member and Misamis Oriental BSP Council Chairman, visited the three-day Rover Scouting Training at Rosario National High School in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental.

He added that through scouting, we promote sustainable development where the well- being of people and the good of the community come first.

ing is linked to life; where parents actively participate in educating their children even while they pursue their careers. Is our education ready to face new generations? In the 21st Century milieu, the quality of the question is as important as finding the right answers.

Intervention: Teachers’ Challenge

By Jessa Mie P. Amdad, Teacher I Kidama Elementary School

Every year, we educators are inundated with demands to implement new instructional interventions or innovations, all promising to improve pupils learning. It can be difficult, however, for school leaders to verify these claims.

Under pressure to make improvements, many schools simply proceed with implementation, hoping against the odds that the promised results will materialize.

Fortunately, many innovations include elements of more established strategies for which evidence of positive effects does exist.

Among these supported strategies, one of the most powerful is conducting inter vention to answer the needs and to master the learning of our pupils. The core elements of mastery learning also provide the foundation for many innovations and interventions that teachers are implementing in classrooms today.

That is the main reason we teachers reach some intervention that would make learning effective, otherwise they would be placed in the impossible situation of having to remedy problems from the past while trying to keep up with the new concepts and skills presented.

The challenge for teachers in implementing enrichment or intervention

7 DSWD to assist family of slain soldiers, police Monday, June 5, 2017

is to ensure that pupils be equipped and expose truly valuable learning experiences using new upgraded interventions and be fit with the new generation.

With proper and competent implementation of interventions simply bide the time, doing more, completing busywork will all be at worth when the learning process succeed.

Inter vention such books, reading material, SIM, strategies that is shared provide the pupils with opportunities to pursue their interests, extend their understanding, and broaden their learning experiences.

As a teacher we should not stop from seeking for so many interventions that would fit to our children’s learning capabilities hence will also help in improving the quality of education we pursue and fight.

“Having a baby reduces your risk, similarly taking the oral contraceptive pill can reduce the risk of endometrial cancer; but probably the best thing to do is make sure you have a healthy lifestyle,” Jordan said.

“Eat well, avoid putting on weight, and exercise regularly, these are all key things to reduce the risk of uterine cancer.” (Xinhua)

“We are praying that the captors will release not only our brother but the other captives as well,” he added.

Roqueto said that Fr. Chito, “Tisoy” to his family and friends here, is the “ace” that the Maute group is holding, the reason the video showing him appealing was released by the terror group.

The Maute group is in a critical situation now, and they are using the priest in their favor, he added.

Marilyn said she had sleepless nights knowing that the life of her older brother is in danger.

She said that Fr. Chito (Teresito) was named after St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face.

“I prayed for her intercession as well as of the other saints, including Filpino St. Lorenzo Ruiz, for my brother’s safe release as well as the other hostages,” Marilyn said.

Fr. Chito always wanted to be a priest, said Roqueto.

“He (Fr. Chito) was an altar boy during his younger days,” said Roqueto, who noted that they are the closest among the siblings. Both Roqueto and Fr. Chito sport long hair and long beards.

“We grew up in a religious family. Our late parents were lay religious leaders in the locality,” Roqueto said.

Fr. Chito last visited his hometown on April 7 to attend their 40th high school alumni anniversary, Roqueto said. (MindaNews)

Montaos-Plaza said DSWD-Caraga also explained that the May 23 Martial Law declaration in Mindanao contributed to the delay, as DSWD personnel were initially barred from conducting field work.

one mobile network carrier to another, is also considered a weakness of Philippine telcos.

“Policies that will reduce customer switching and search costs, as well as the promotion of the efficient use of facilities, embedding adequate monitoring and data reporting, and clearly specifying obligations or rules of conduct of various market players are seen as possible interventions to improve telcos in the country,” the authors pointed out.

Another flaw of Philippine telcos is on regulatory mandate, which evaluates the various regulatory functions of the regulator based on its thrusts.

In this cluster, the Philippines ranks second lowest with 10.5 next to Myanmar with 7.5 out of a possible 22 points.

The low score of the Philippines can be attributed to a number of factors such as the lack of regulatory mandate over interconnection rates and universal access/service.

In the Philippines, acquiring the necessary authorization to provide telecommunications services is done in two levels. One is a license obtained from Congress and the other is a certificate from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).

“Based on international standards, the first step is no longer necessary,” the authors explained, arguing that “Congress should no longer be involved in granting franchises as the regulator should have the sole authority for licensing.”

The authors also noted that while the NTC can revoke licenses and impose fines, still, it implements weak penalties. “On the one end, revocation of a license will only happen in extreme cases, and the decision can be challenged in [the] courts since the NTC is a quasi-judicial body,” they posited.

Ortiz and her co-authors also took note of the NTC’s implementation of ‘unrealistically low fines’ prescribed by old laws like the Public Services Act of 1936 (Commonwealth Act 146) that sets a fine of not more than P200 per day.

To improve the efficiency of Philippine telcos, the authors proposed the re-

structuring of the NTC to ensure its independence, diversifying its sources of funding, and allowing the NTC to set higher, more appropriate fines to deter bad behavior.

on Thursday at the provincial capitol.

The provincial government pushed for the acquisition of the property after signing a memorandum of understanding last March with the Department of Health (DOH) and the Chinese Embassy in Manila for the implementation of the project.

Solon said they had committed to provide the site as counterpart to the project, which will be implemented under the “Grant-Aid Dangerous Drug Abuse Treatment Rehabilitation Centers Project.”

The government had chosen Sarangani and Agusan del Sur as recipients of the project, which was cited as one of the outcomes of President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s state visit to China

11 last year.

Dr. Arvin Alejandro, Sarangani provincial health officer, earlier said they expect the project’s preparatory works to start following the acquisition of the site.

He said Chinese engineers from Tonji University already visited the area in early March for an ocular inspection.

A project briefer said the planned regional drug treatment and rehabilitation center will have a capacity of 150 beds and will operate a recovery clinic.

The facility will be operated and managed by the DOH and will mainly cater to drug dependents from Region 12.

Also known as Soccksaren, the region covers the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and North Cotabato, and the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Tacurong, Kidapawan and Cotabato.

The development of the center is expected to provide employment opportunities to qualified residents as well as livelihood for community stakeholders at the site. (PNA) #RealNumbers

MNLF helping government forces in running after Abu Sayyaf in Sulu

By Darwin Wally T. Wee, MindaNews

ZAMBOANGA City––Even before President Rodrigo Duterte appealed to the Moro fronts and the communist movement to help the government in the fight against terror groups, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) in Sulu has been helping the military fight the Abu Sayyaf.

Yusop Jikiri, chair of the MNLF Central Committee, said their fighters have been running after the Abu Sayyaf particularly in areas dominated by the front.

Jikiri cited an incident where “our fighters launched our ‘Anti-kidnapping and Terrorism Task Force’ [in the towns of ]Talipao, Parang and Indanan with proper understanding and coordination with the Brigade Command in Sulu” last May 18-20.

“In short, even without the presence of the military, our command is ready to face any challenges against terrorist groups,” he said.

Jikiri, who took over the helm from Muslimin Sema as the new chair of the MNLF last February, said they will continue to exert pressure on the Abu Sayyaf and deny them areas for refuge.

Another faction of the MNLF is led by founding chair Nur Misuari.

D ur ing his visit in Sulu, Duterte called on the MNLF, Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), and the New People’s Army to help the government fight the terror groups.

The president made the statement following

Misuari’s offer to help the government address the ongoing armed conflict in Marawi City.

The armed conflict in Marawi started on May 23 when members of the Maute group launched a siege in the city.

Brig. Gen. Cirilito Sobejan, commander of Joint Task Force Sulu, confirmed the MNLF’s efforts against the Abu Sayyaf in Sulu.

“We wel c ome t he i r positive gesture towards the resolutions of the Abu Sayyaf problem,” he said.

He said the military gave a green light for the MNLF to operate in specific areas.

“We gave them area for them to clear. We are also amendable to the option that they can operate alongside with us,” he said.

Despite the absence of ceasefire mechanisms, Sobejana said both the military and the MNLF have established a strong coordination system.

The MNLF-Misuar i wing has designated a coordinator who links with the military, especially during operations against the Abu Sayyaf.

“We see the importance of the [peace] mechanisms.

We have established contact persons in the MNLF,” Sobejana said.

“We are banking on the trust and confidence of both sides,” he said.

The MNLF signed a Final Peace Agreement with the government in 1996. At least 7,000 of its combatants have been integrated into the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police as part of the agreement.

Davao tourism suffers PHP20M revenue loss DAVAO CITY -- The tourism sector in Davao City lost a total revenue of PHP20 million three days after the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao.

This was revealed Thursday by City Tourism Officer Generose Tecson, who said that the huge losses or some PHP18million were incurred from cancelled hotel bookings and events.

Tecson said this appeared to be the immediate impact of the declaration of Martial Law last May 23 by President Rodrigo Duterte.

But the city tourism officer expressed optimism the sector will bounce back in three to four weeks based on non-cancellation of other events and visits of foreign tourists who are expected to visit the city this month.

Tecson said there is a scheduled cultural event

of the Chinese performers from Nanning, China next week, an investment conference in July, the visit of the local government officials from San Juan, and the visit of some 200 westerners in Davao City sometime this month and July.

With this development, tourism stakeholders will launch the campaign “No Back Out, No Pull Out� to encourage tourists and events organizers to push through with their activities.

Tecson said they are also coming out with a 30-point guideline for business and tourism industry for the Martial Law period. This is separate from the guidelines issued by Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio for the Davaoenos.

Tecson said the guidelines now await the signature of the mayor.
