Probe links of terror groups strengthened

GOVERNMENT agencies are coming together to scale up preparations for the “Big One,” which refers to the predicted 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Metro Manila to be generated by the movement of the West Valley Fault. “Kailangan natin interagency para ‘yung awareness level will be high, and ‘yung coordination of line agencies will be stronger” (We need an inter-agency cooperation so the level of awareness will be high, and the coordination of line agencies will be stronger), said Department of Information and Communications (DICT) Assistant Secretary Alan Silor on Wednesday. “Gusto nating malaman ng public na, if disaster happens, alam ng mga tao kung ano ang gagawin nila, so that’s the focal issues that we’re gonna take up” (We want the public to know that if disaster happens, they know the measures to do, so these are the focal issues that we’re gonna take up), Silor added.

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Law enforcers are now looking for clues of possible links, personalities and financiers of the terror groups operating in Mindanao following the arrest of five suspects in a raid in Tubod, Lanao Del Norte. “We are looking into the various communication gadgets seized from the group, which might provide valuable information that could possibly establish the link of various terror groups in Mindanao,” an investigator who joined the raid said. The arrest of the suspects was the result of the military and the police sustained operations in response to intelligence reports that the remnants of the Maute terrorist group who laid siege in Marawi last year are regrouping. “There is also an information that the Maute -IS terrorist group are planning to stage another terror attack elsewhere in the country,” a police official said. Supt. Lemuel Gonda, the spokesperson of the police regional command in Cagayan De Oro City, said that a “high level of alert” remained in Northern Mindanao even after the fall of the terrorists in Marawi City. Arrested in a raid on Sunday in Tubod, Lanao Del Norte, was Juromee Dongon a.k.a Tata, Saynab, Zainab Janjalani, widow of the slain Malaysian JI (Jemaah Islamiyah) leader of Southeast Asia Bin Hir alias Marwan. Marwan was killed in a police operation in Mamasapano, Maguindanao, which resulted in the killing of 44 members of the Philippine National Police Special Action Force (PNP

Jet carrying 73 passengers overshoots Siargao runway By Roel Catoto MindaNews

SURIGAO City--A passenger jet plane carrying 73 people overshot the runway in Siargao Island Tuesday morning apparently because of a bird strike, but nobody was injured in the incident. The Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office of Del Carmen town in Siargao said the Skyjet plane ended up on the grass

a few meters past the end of the runway of Sayak Airport. The 73 people on board were reportedly helped disembark the plane by firefighters and airport workers. The plane reportedly landed at 11:32 a.m. Gilbert Ortojan, manager of Skyjet Airline Siargao, said they are still investigating the cause of the incident but noted that there was a bird strike.

One of the passengers, 25-year-old Gregorio Pornillos Jr., told this writer over the phone that the captain tried to evade an eagle. “At least we are all safe and sound,” he said. Upon disembarking the plane, Pornillos said one of the passengers shouted: “All is well!” The Skyjet website said it operates 80-seater BAE-146

planes, which specialize in short takeoff and landing, manufactured by British Aerospace. Flights to and from Siargao, a popular tourist destination, were reportedly suspended for the rest of the day. Del Carmen Mayor Alfredo Coro Jr. told MindaNews that they are now assisting the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines

Gov Uy and four Dabawenyo local chief executives launch new party

Davao City -- Compostela Valley Gov. Jayvee Tyron L. Uy with four local chief executives namely Davao City Mayor Sara Z. Duterte, Davao Del Norte Gov. Anthony G. Del Rosario, Davao Occidental Gov. C lau d e Bautista and Davao Oriental G ov. Nelson Dayanghirang, le d the launching of Hugpong ng Pagbabago, the new regional party in town. The launching was held at Royal Mandaya Hotel, Davao last February 23, 2018. Around five hundred local officials from the region’s five provinces attended the event. Notable personalities who also showed their support to the new party include Former Mayor Rey T. Uy ofTagum City, Former Gov. Rodolfo Del Rosario of Davao Del Norte,, Former Cong. Vincent J. Garcia of Davao City and Davao Del Sur Vice Gov. Aileen Uy-Almendras. When pressed about his other political party

affiliations, the young governor responded that he already resigned from PDP-Laban before the launching. “I tendered my resignation as PDP member for reasons that we want to focus more on the region so we want to help the vision created by Hugpong”, the governor continued. Gov. Uy underscored, however, that the party is not just about politics but also aims to increase inter-locality cooperation in tackling common problems. As aptly said by Gov. Uy, the party will also focus on the promotion of peace and development in the Davao Region. “The Hugpong para sa Pagbabago will facilitate peace and development initiatives in the Davao Region. It will allow development to b e als o experienced not only by the urban areas but also those of the rural areas. This is the vision of the party”, he said.

Gov. Uy brought along with him the majority of the local officials of Compostela Valley namely Vice Gov. Z amora,

members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan led by Senior Board Member Arturo T. Uy, municipal mayors, vice mayors and

councilors. “Majority of my allies in ComValare also here. Basically, all mayors signified their intention

to be part of the Hugpong. Its supermajority in ComVal”, Gov. Uy said. (Allin Camile, ID Comval)

Around five hundred local officials from Davao region’s five provinces attended the launching of Hugpong ng Pagbabago, the new regional party in town. Comval Gov Tyron Uy, Vice Gov.

Teves calls for Sandra Cam’s ouster

Negros Oriental 3rd District Representative Arnulfo Teves on Wednesday challenged jueteng bagwomanturned-whistleblower Sandra Cam to resign as director of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) after she accused him of being an operator of the Small Town Lottery (STL) in the said province. “I was accused of being an operator. Kung makasubmit si Sandra ng dokumento, mag-re-resign ako sa Kongreso next hearing. Pero ‘pag wala s’yang masubmit, s’ya ang mag-resign as director ng PCSO. Please submit to this committee legal documents that indeed proves that I am an operator of Negros Oriental. Kung nakalagay pangalan ko sa korporasyon, mag-re-resign ako. Pero pag wala, I hope mag-resign kayo as director,” Teves declared during the continuation of a hearing by the House Committee on Games and Amusements. In the said hearing, Cam without presenting any evidence accused the lawmaker before the committee of allegedly running an STL op-

Rep. Teves

eration. “Respetado ko kayo dito. I’m not binabastos ang Kongreso [sic]. I just want to tell the good congressman here from Negros Oriental, that he himself is an operator. Isn’t it? You’re an STL operator also,” said Cam. According to Cam, the government is allegedly being short-changed of revenues. Citing the STL operations in Pangasinan where instead of P40 million, it should be P500 million a month from the P17-20 million daily sales. However, Committee Chairman Paranaque City Rep. Gus Tambunting asked Cam to clarify if the P500 mil-

lion sales is from Authorized Agent Corporations (AACs) or jueteng. “Kasi ho ‘pag ganyan argument n’yo, kukuwestyunin ko po ‘yung Golden Go bakit P2-3 million lang ang inyong ni-remit, kaya ka na-terminate tapos P500 million pala ‘yan dapat. Tapos kukwestyunin natin ‘yang si Speed Game, kunekunektado na po ‘yan. Ano pong basis ng P500 million po natin?” asked Tambunting. “It’s [from] jueteng,” Cam answered. Earlier, Teves reminded the committee that PCSO is the go-to of all medical assistance, especially of the less

fortunate people. So when one AAC is terminated, the government loses income in that province. “Ang daming kumukontra sa PCSO pero halos lahat doon din humihingi ng tulong. Kaya suggestion ko, ‘yung mga umayaw sa PCSOSTL operations nila, dapat wala ding opisina ang PCSO doon. If you don’t want STL in your area, don’t want lotto in your area, don’t put PCSO in your area. Parang sa akin gan’on para ‘di mapulitika ang PCSO,” said Teves. The lawmaker suggested giving AACs a certain time frame – six months or one to two years – to pay the shortfalls in their Presumptive Monthly Retail Receipt (PMRR) targets. If they do not pay their shortfall within the agreed time, that’s the time they get terminated. “Pupusta ako na malabo mangyari na mga bagong kumpanya, makakabayad ng PMRR right away. In time, they will be able to reach their PMRR targets and in that way, may kikitain ang gobyerno, kesa naman sa bumalik sa wala talaga,” said Teves.

The termination of an AAC will also create a vacuum for opportunists and illegal operations to take advantage of and get back in the game. “I heard nung nawala ‘yung Evenchance, may bumalik na naman dun na – nabalitaan ko lang – na illegal. If you look at history, alam ng PNP [Philippine National Police] ‘yun, nasa record nila ‘yun, halos lahat ng area na walang legit player, there are illegal operators,” revealed Teves. Claims were denied by Camarines Sur Rep. Luis Ray Villafuerte right away, saying there’s no illegal operator in Camarines Sur where his son Miguel Luis Villafuerte is the governor, or else they have to be reported to them. “Para sa akin, gambling lord nga sila dati pero ngayon kung nagbabayad sa gobyerno its better than them still playing than not paying the government anything. Let us look at this not purely on a legal standpoint, but also on an economic and on a social standpoint, because the economics of PCSO will be what is important for PCSO

to do its social responsibilities – which is to help the poor,” added Teves. Towards the end, the lawmaker from Negros Oriental reiterated his motion for Cam to submit legal documents proving her allegations and claims. “Tulungan natin ang PCSO na h’wag mawalan ng kita. Walang malisya ‘yun. Sa akin lang, I reiterate na ‘yung claims ni Director Cam. I want documents submitted to this committee to prove such claims. Kung wala, it’s hearsay and malamang sinungaling kasi walang katotohanan. Otherwise, I would move that she be cited for contempt, if she doesn’t prove her claims here,” said Teves. The PCSO board has permanently terminated and cancelled the authorization to play STL of Evenchance Gaming Corporation in Camarines Sur last February 5, 2018 and Golden Go Rapid Gaming Corp (GGRGC) in the Province of Pangasinan last October 2017. As replacement, PCSO has granted Speed Game Inc., the authority to operate STL in Pangasinan.

Why can’t we just do it?

WE always raise this question as to why we, Filipinos, can’t simply do our jobs without talking too much on everything and anything. Gossiping is a contagious national pastime, more popular than basketball, texting or even taking shabu. Aside from drug addiction, malling and spreading rumors (read: false news) these days are the two most effective way of wasting one’s free time. Anyone can join, it’s free, no skills needed, only a big mouth and sharp tongue needed, and that’s it – your language, be it ala Duterte, Mocha or Trillanes, or worse, De Lima, makes your day complete, and well, satisfied of spreading

something, be it good or bad. And almost everyone eagerly does the spreading of the word so to speak, throwing in their two cents worth of information at hand, be it true or false, in any and every conversation. Gossiping therefore is the best pastime for us, an effective tool to ward off boredom and even hunger. To some, rumor mongering is their way of keeping their sanity intact. You hear these loose talks just anywhere and anytime– in the neighborhood, in malls, in offices or even in jeepney rides. To the haters and losers, it’s the best weapon to combat envy and hatred. And to those who are al-

ready addicted to spreading rumors, it seems that they won’t last a day without gossip. People who are into rumor mongering would surely say that without gossip, they may not know what to do with their time. Life would be so drab that, in the quest of excitement and the sheer need to break routine, spreading rumors come easy and free. We want this country to move on and become the tiger economy that we aim for so long a time, yet the crab mentality and other bad traits among us persevere, and drags us further down the road to perdition. We keep on talking about everything. Who’s sleeping with whom? Who’s girl-

Ruffy Magbanua

friend or boyfriend of this? Why can’t we just do our jobs, and behave like the honorable people that we are? Why do we have to talk about them? Perhaps topics like what are we gonna do about how to improve the economy, about how to uplift the lives of the Marawi IDPs, what are our priorities for 2018? are most welcome and wholesome as it were. Are our jobs okay? Is the peso going to fall down against the dollar? Are we See we, page 11

People power garbage, February 25, 2018

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… always give thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ…” (Ephesians 5:20, the Holy Bible). -oooTHEFT AGAINST RUSSIAN TOURISTS MUSTBE PROBED WELL: Police investigators in San Juan, La Union must carefully look into the complaint that two Russian tourists were allegedly robbed of their expensive personal belongings, inside their rented room yet in Bgy. Urbiztondo. If it was true that thieves broke into their room and carted away their valuables, the criminals must be immediately arrested, and their loot returned to the owners. Truly, the descent to sinfulness and petty criminality of our people is now truly

a source of national shame. On the other hand, if this accusation is not true, or was just made up by the tourists for one reason or another, they must be held accountable for defamation by the owner of the resort in La Union. Indeed, no tourist would dare come to the country and to that resort anymore after this! -oooPEOPLE POWER GARBAGE, FEBRUARY 25, 2018: Did I hear it right that it was “people power revolution” that the critics of President Duterte tried to commemorate last Sunday, February 25, 2018? I ask because, to me, that gathering actually represented a big insult to the concept of true people’s movements, whose rightful intentions should be the welfare of the people

and of the environment. Think about this: Duterte’s critics gathered at the EDSA People Power monument just for a few hours on Sunday but they somehow managed to cough up tons and tons of trash and garbage, which now require cleaning for at least two days. Are these the people who claim that they are pro-people, pro-God and pro-environment? The truth, if you ask me, is that, these people are truly the trash or garbage of Philippine society who must be washed down the drain! -oooLESSON OF EDSA 1986: PERSONAL AND FAMILY INTERESTS ARE HIGHER THAN THE PEOPLE’S INTERESTS: Again, if I were to be asked, the true lesson of EDSA 1986 is truly

Batas Mauricio

a simple one: personal and family interests are always put above the greater interest of our countrymen by people who become, by some quirk of treacherous fate, leaders of the Filipino nation. Just take a close look at the Constitution that EDSA 1986 gave birth to, for instance. Was it not a fact that the promised agrarian reform in that Charter was nothing but a fake reform? Was it not true that big estates, like the Hacienda Luisita landholding belonging to the family of Corazon and Noynoy Aquino, were exempted from land reform? And, was it not a fact also that the alleged ban in that See garbage, page 11

Think A Minute

Nice and naughty THINK a minute. Remember the Christmas song, “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town?” It says: “He’s makin’ a list, checkin’ it twice, gonna find out who’s naughty or nice!” But there are many people who are both nice and naughty. I grew up with a guy named Bill. He was a very nice, honest person. Bill was a talented actor, so after graduating from university he moved to L.A. where he started acting professionally. He eventually got involved with the homosexual community in Hollywood. Then a few years ago, when he was only 37 years old, Bill died from AIDS. However, in the last year

of his life Bill completely changed and found peace with His Maker. Just a few days after his funeral, I talked with Bill’s mother. She told me what he said to her before he died. He said: “I’ve always tried to be a nice person, but I now realize that I’m also an immoral person. I do things that are clearly wrong, like getting drunk and living a homosexual lifestyle. I know now that being nice and kind is not enough to make me right with God, my Creator.” Jesus Christ said that many nice, kind people are also immoral people. They won’t control their appetites and desires for pleasure. These nice people do things that Jesus teaches are very

wrong and sinful, such as adultery, getting drunk on alcohol, high on kava or drugs, homosexuality, and other things. They think that it’s fine to do what feels good as long as they don’t hurt anybody else. However, the actual fact is they are hurting their own family members and others, as well as abusing their own bodies. Most of all, they are cutting themselves off from God their Creator by rebelling against Him, just so they can keep living for themselves. Jesus Christ and the Bible show us how to enjoy physical pleasures the way that won’t hurt ourselves and others. Jesus also made it clear that just being a nice person

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

is definitely not enough to make us right with Him. Since He is our Maker, He knows the only way that we can ever have real satisfaction and peace which lasts. So it’s the only way we can be saved from the terrible pain and suffering that will come on us from our wrong way of living. So for your own safety and happiness, won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you and help you start changing and living His way for the rest of your life? Just Think a Minute.

Palace wants smuggled rice be given to poor By Jelly Musico

MANILA -- Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque Jr. said Wednesday he would suggest during the upcoming Cabinet meeting that smuggled rice be distributed to the poor, instead of giving it to the National Food Authority (NFA). “That’s probably something that we will be discussing to the next Cabinet meeting in March,” Roque said in an interview with radio dzMM. The next Cabinet meeting is set on Monday, March 5. Roque said the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) could handle the rice distribution through its Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program. Recently, Senator Cynthia Villar, chairperson of the Senate committee on agriculture and food, recommended that smuggled rice be channeled to

the NFA, to be sold at a low price. “You know that policy is too long and it is not like (smuggled) cars that are being destroyed for a lesson,” Roque said. “This is really, because it

is food, it may be necessary for those who are hungry, for our people.” Roque said his suggestion aims to prevent the possibility of smuggled See wants, page 9

Xavier Ateneo welcomes home DOST Balik Scientist Awardee Dr Noel Peter Tan

Xavier Ateneo welcomes the homecoming of one of its prized alumni, Dr Noel Peter B Tan of the Environmental Technologies, Nano and Advanced Materials Institute and the 2018 Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Balik Scientist Awardee for Environmental Applications of Nanoscience. Tan is an award-winning research scientist, engineer, and academic with over seven years of experience in nanotechnology and advanced materials market-driven research to develop and commercialize new technologies. He is currently to the Philippines for a short-term Balik Scientist visit to his alma mater Xavier Ateneo. He will serve as co-adviser to undergraduate chemical

engineering students and assist them in their capstone researches on the synthesis of nanofibers. One objective of the Balik Scientist Program of DOST is to bring Filipino scientists residing abroad back in the Philippines “to contribute to the progress and development of the na-

tion.” DOST acknowledges that with their expertise in the field of science and technology, the Balik Scientist Awardees could help address some of the major problems that our country faces and to inspire the next generation of Filipino scientists. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are the study and application of “extremely small things and can be used across all the other science fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering,” according to the US National Nanotechnology Initiative. Tan has published book chapters and international peer-reviewed journals on the central theme towards green nanotechnologies focusing on both synthesis and See welcomes, page 11

PNP launches ‘Southern Storm’ in Davao Survey shows Paolo Duterte could still win

DAVAO CITY -- Resigned vice mayor Paolo Duterte could still muster votes if he runs again for political office based on the net political capital in a local survey in Davao City. But Dr. Adrian Tamayo of the University Of Mindanao’s Institute of Popular Opinion (IPO) said the former vice mayor’s net political capital of 38 percent could slip through his fingers if left uncared. The IPO survey, which covered 1,200 respondents across the three congressional districts of the city, showed that 58 percent still trust the presidential son and 42 percent have lost their confidence. The IPO used the +/-3 margin of error in the survey.

DAVAO CITY -- The Philippine National Police (PNP) launched Southern Storm, an interagency security and disaster simulation exercises in Davao City on Wednesday. The Southern Storm simulation exercises include a bomb explosion, an ambush and hostage-taking scenarios at the Abreeza Mall. Recorded scenarios of simulated exercise (SIMEX) tested the police, the security forces, the local government leaders, including the barangays their capability and readiness to respond to a crisis like terrorism, law enforcement, insurgency and disaster. Davao City is piloting Southern Storm, an interagency security and disaster simulation exercises led by the PNP. The city was chosen as the pilot area because it is not only the hometown of President Rodrigo Duterte but also of the high-level

threat in Mindanao. PNP Deputy Director General for Operations Camilo Pancratius Cascolan said a 5 to 10-minute lockdown will be implemented along J.P Laurel Avenue – Abreeza Mall area because of the scenarios that will happen outside the mall plus the evacuation of people from the building. Cascolan said there might be rerouting of vehicles along the area fronting the mall. “The area should be clear,” he said in a phone interview. The exercise will also involve the barangay officials and some residents of Barangay 20-B. Some personalities will take the role of mayor, councilors, other heads of agencies to determine how they respond to crisis especially in terror incidents. The interagency security and disaster simulation exercise project is of national scope. This will determine

MEX will be in the National Capital Region (NCR),. However, he said it depends on PNP Chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa where to hold the next activity. Cascolan had earlier explained that Southern Storm is also to plan counterterrorism strategy, including senior decision-making,

operational and tactical responses. This would gauge the level of understanding, response, and readiness of all those involved. This would also help authorities identify gaps, weaknesses, and find ways to improve response system of the government.

DAVAO CITY -- Two antidrug units arrested five illegal drug peddlers in two separate buy-bust operations in the city. On Tuesday, two college students were arrested by the elements of the Drug Enforcement Unit of San Pedro Police in a buy-bust operation conducted along Jacinto Ext., Acacia, Barangay 32-D. Chief Insp. Ramil Macarampat, the commander of San Pedro Police Precinct, identified the arrested suspects as Ralph Barnachea, 21, an Information Technology student and a resident of Rosalina III, Talomo District, and Sean David Bayla, a Hotel and RestauCHAT WITH BATO.

According to the report, the suspects conspired and sold a pack of suspected marijuana wrapped in a yellow paper to a poseur-buyer in exchange for PHP500. Authorities recovered from their possession another three big packs of suspected marijuana wrapped with a yellow paper and another five small packs wrapped in a newspaper with a total estimated street value of more or less PHP5,000 placed inside a red Jansport bag owned by Bayla. Also recovered were the marked money, one unit Samsung cellphone used for a drug transaction, assorted IDs and suspected drug money amounting to PHP840. A case of violation of

The fire, caused by an electrical short circuit at the ceiling on the third floor, left 38 people dead after

awareness on preparing for a major earthquake that could strike anytime. For his part, Communications Assistant Secretary Kristian Ablan said the role of PCOO is to “communicate the information needed for citizens to be prepared”. “It’s very important that all agencies of government are unified and consistent in its messaging for the citizens to be prepared for any natural disaster including the earthquake that’s why we’re all meeting together from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, the DICT, the Department of Interior and Local Government, the Metro Manila Development Authority, the PCOO and its family of agencies,” Ablan said.

“Our citizens need to be prepared, for example how many liters of water do our citizens need to save? What are the items that are in their emergency bag? What are the procedures once an earthquake happens, where do they go?” Ablan added. The inter-agency organization’s Technical Working Group Resiliency Team held its first meeting on Wednesday, aimed at coming up with the best practices to build a communication campaign to scale up preparedness measures for the “Big One.” The West Valley Fault, which is one of two major segments of the Marikina Valley Fault System, runs through Metro Manila to the cities of Marikina, Quezon City, Pasig, Makati, Taguig and Muntinlupa.

job vacancies–4,156 local and 12,000 overseas–from 51 participating employers The job fair also recorded a total of 2,101 ‘near hire’ applications, the BLE report said. ‘Near hires’ are job applicants who may be considered as hired but need to submit additional or lacking requirements or may need to attend further interviews or tests. They may be hired or placed depending on the outcome of their interview and compliance of pre-employment requirements of the hiring company. A jobseeker may be considered ‘near-hire’ in several companies that he or she has applied to during the job fair. “As we bring TNK to the local communities across the country, we aim for increased employability and accessibility of our

jobseekers to available jobs… On the heels of the recent developments involving our migrant heroes in the Middle East, this undertaking opens brighter opportunities for many and greatly empower our local communities,” said Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III in his message read by Undersecretary Dominador Say on his behalf. Among the local jobs with the most number of vacancies are promo staff/ specialist, finishing mason, cashier, merchandiser, and sales clerk from employers such as DDT Konstract, Inc., Mercury Drug, CNT Promo and Ads, Fineco Management Corp., and Humble Beginnings. Meanwhile, the overseas jobs with the most number of vacancies are nurse, service crew, cleaner, factory worker, and sales clerk/worker from recruitment agencies such as See hired, page 11

special projects. Moving forward, Hedcor is seeing a step-up to more sustainable projects. A special ingredient of Hedcor’s CSR projects is employee volunteerism. Though the communities are the primary beneficiaries of CSR, its effect expands to the employees of Hedcor. Hedcor encourages employees to be involved in CSR activities such as medical missions and environmental activities. Nova Baldo, Hedcor CSR specialist said “Hedcor is a niche for professional growth and a workplace that has a social purpose. Hedcor lets us obtain our personal mission to positively contribute to the communities through joining CSR activities.” Numerous studies confirm that employees who have a sense of purpose at work are high performers and more productive.

Carlos Aboitiz Hedcor president and COO, is pushing for employee engagement. “We need to look for more meaningful ways to provide impact to the communities we operate in. It is our way of giving back for their support and letting us operate in their community.” Currently, Hedcor is operating 22 run-of-river hydropower plants in the Philippines. The 10 plants are in Luzon and the rest of the plants are located in Mindanao. The La Trinidad Hydro Project in Benguet is under construction and is seen to be completed in 2019.

The survey showed that for every 100 Dabawenyos, 54 considered the resignation unnecessary; 34 supported it; while, 12 were hesitant to give an opinion. The IPO noted that those who remain unmoved by the resignation amidst the controversies are mostly found in the first district. Tamayo said the former vice mayor maintains higher popularity rate in the second district compared to the third district. Paolo also has a strong following among the 30-39 years old and a good number of them belong to Class C. In reaction to the survey, the former vice mayor thanked the people for the continued trust and support as one of the leaders in the city. In a press statement, Paolo said, “It was my honor to have served you, and I will always be honored to continue serving you in the best possible way -- even if I am out of politics.” But he asked the understanding of the Dabawenyos on his decision. “Dili sad to dali, apan nakabalo naman kamo sa akong rason ug sa akong kahimtang (It was not easy, but you know my reason and my situation),” he said. “I truly value your unwavering support and trust. While I am humbled by this, it gives me the courage and the inspiration to work and support the objectives, plans, and programs of both our local government and national government as a private individual,” Paolo added. Given this, the presidential son urged the people to continue helping the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte overcome challenges it is facing. (Lilian C. Mellejor/PNA)

Other hired-on-the-spot jobseekers were Richard Enteria, who was a former overseas Filipino worker in Taiwan, and Salvador Macahilig, who was a former employee of a restaurant that closed shop due to bankruptcy. They were hired as butcher and merchandiser at Meat World, respectively.

The mall applied for demolition last February 2 and paid the city a permit fee worth P187,854, she said. However, Catubig said she has no knowledge about the schedule of the demolition because they leave it up to the mall management to decide when after being issued with a permit but they are required to inform the city government at least five days before they would start the demolition. Catubig said they suggested that the building be demolished immediately as it might pose some risks and to prevent people from

The permit stated the demolition would commence only after the “building has been vacated and all utility lines such as electric, gas, telephone and water installations have been disconnected.” It added that the demolition will be undertaken in accordance with Rule XV on “Protection and Safety Requirements for construction and demolition of building/ structure” of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Presidential Decree (PD) 1096, or the National Building Code of the Philippines. The combined floor area of the four-story building is 60,568 square meters, Catubig said. Thea Padua, NCCC spokesperson and public relations manager, said there’s still no target date for demolition, pending submission of the report of the investigation conducted by the Interagency AntiArson Task Force. She added they are also waiting for the result of the investigation by US-based third party investigators. As of 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Interagency Anti-Arson Task Force deputy team leader and spokesperson Fire Supt. Jerry Candido has yet to respond to inquiry regarding update of the investigation. BFP recommends demolition On December 25, BFP11 director Senior Supt.. Wilberto Rico Neil A. Kwan Tiu recommended the demolition of the NCCC Mall as the fire could cause the 14-year-old building to collapse. He said the interior of the mall, including the roof, mostly caved in, which made it difficult for firefighters and responders to go deeper into the building during their operations. The collapsed rear portion of the mall can be seen from the outside. “The damage is so much, the entire building is totally damaged except the ground floor,” Kwan Tiu said. He said all the debris from the collapsed floors looked like “pancakes” laying on top of one another while the other parts could be triggered even by a slight movement. Kwan Tiu said firefighters braved a thick black smoke that covered the entire mall and a temperature ranging from 500 to 700 degrees Celsius that was enough to melt their protective gears. 38 victims On December 24, rescuers recovered one of the 38 missing victims inside the comfort room on the fourth floor where most of the trapped workers reportedly huddled shortly after the fire broke out at 9:30 a.m. on December 23. On December 25, Christmas Day, Kwan Tiu announced after a mass

held outside the mall that rescue and retrieval operation workers recovered 36 “charred” bodies at the lobby of the SSI office on the fourth floor. Ten days later, January 4, the last remaining body of the 38 missing was recovered in a small crack on the floor, within the area where authorities recovered remains of 36 bodies. Candido told reporters in a teleconference on January 2 that NCCC Mall Davao and the call center tenant failed to comply with fire safety requirements as they found lapses in the setup of the mall’s fire alarm, sprinkler system, and fire exits. The task force is composed of reoresentatives from the Department of Interior and Local Government, Bureau of Fire Protection, National Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, and Criminal Investigation and Detection Group 11. The SSI occupied the entire 4,000-square meter space on the fourth floor that was also accredited by Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA). (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

In the 14 years that I was locked in various legal battles with it in connection with the 50 libel cases or so that CDO filed against me, I saw that this experience I underwent with them was actually used by God for a beneficial purpose. The truth was that, during all the times that I tangled with CDO, it was then that the Children of God Blood Kin of the Christ Church (or the Simbahang Anak ng Diyos Kadugo Ni Kristo, AND KNK)---a fast-growing Christian Church preaching that Jesus is God and Savior, and is God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit---was fully established. From hindsight, I now believe that if I did not encounter this problem with CDO, AND KNK would not be put up and then flourish. Thank God in the Name of Jesus, and thank you, CDO Foodsphere, Inc.

Sadly and admittedly, all these traits redound to Pinoy bad habits.
