sued for posting fake news on COVID-19 By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN Contributing Editor

SAN FRANCISCO, Agusan del Sur -- Gov. Santiago Cane Jr has called on the police in Veruela town to pursue the cybercrime case against a church pastor who posted false information in his Facebook wall about the two positive cases of

the dreaded Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID 19). The governor in an interview with MDN said the case against Gumonit should be pursued by the Veruela police since they were used as the source of malicious information even as Pastor Michael Ef Perez Gumonit, 29, single,

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY: The entire neighboring city of Iligan, 88 kilometers west of here, is quarantined indefinitely effective midnight Monday. As Iligan City declared a self-imposed “community quarantine,” city officials in Cagayan De Oro City are also pushing to follow suit as education officials ordered the suspension of all classes on all levels in the city and in the province of Misamis Oriental. City Mayor Celso Regencia, of Iligan City, signed Executive Order No. 29, s. of 2020, exactly at midnight on Monday, declaring the entire city under “community quarantine.” Being under “community quarantine,” all village chiefs in Iligan City were directed to conduct profiling, including travel history, of all village residents. Regencia also ordered the military and the police to establish joint checkpoints in the entrances and exit areas of the city. He instructed the joint Iligan Task Force COVID-19 to check all incoming passengers of public and private vehicles to present a valid government issue id, addresses, and travel history. Regencia said that those who will not cooperate shall be penalized under Sec. 8 as required under Republic Act 9271, or the Quarantine Act of 2004 with a fine of P 10,000 to P 50,000 or an imprisonment of one year or both.

ILIGAN CITY -- Iligan City Mayor Celso Regencia attended on Sunday the press briefing and personally declared the implementation of community quarantine starting 12:01am on March 16 (Monday). This despite being considered ‘person under monitoring’ (PUM) of COVID-19 and being on a home quarantine aftes his travel from Manila. Regencia said he arrived from Manila on Thursday evening. Dr. Leonel Quitos, infectious disease specialist, said

the Iligan Medical Society (IMS) allowed Regencia to go out from his house because his presence is needed in the press briefing. “But we can see him following social distancing and is bringing with him an alcohol for disinfection. He immediately went home after the press briefing,” Quitos said. It was not clear if Regencia was already checked by the Barangay Health Emergency Response Team (BHERT) but Quitos said the IMS is monitoring his health. “I am following the DOH guidelines. But I was told

that I must be here for this press briefing, I came here. Anyway, I am feeling very good. If I feel I am sick, I will isolate myself,” Regencia said. Persons travelling from Metro Manila are considered persons under monitoring (PUMs) and should not go out from their house for 14 days. PUMs are persons who showed no flu-like symptons but has travel history from places with confirmed COVID-19 cases. They are being monitored by the Barangay Health Emergency Response Team (BHERT).

Following the Department of Health protocols, the body of Patient 40 (PH40) was disinfected and placed in multiple airtight, leak-proof sealed cadaver bags to prevent contamination. The disinfection was done in Northern Mindanao Medical Center based in this city and was supervised by the chief epidemiologist of

Sol Mosqueda, a focal person at the cemetery, said everything was done to prevent contamination and ensure public safety. “The public memorial park is the safest and most appropriate burial place. Transporting the cadaver elsewhere poses more danger to the public,” she said. The Office of Muslim Affairs in Region 10

A poem for Mindanao: Let a thousand coops bloom IN expressing opinion, it is always done in prose. This time for a change, let me do it in poetry as the outpourings of words do not just come from the mind but direct from the heart. This gives more credence to that adage in the Little Prince that “it is only through the heart that one can see clearly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.” That supreme force in the Universe called love beacons all of us in the cooperative movement to exemplify the spirit of oneness irrespective of color, creed or class as we are all in fact, the sons and daughters of Mindanao. It now behooves upon us to shed-off our apathy, unlike that frog that was boiled-up to death because

it cannot detect temperature changes. You know that experiment in Biology 101? It runs something like this. You take a frog and put it in a pot of cold water. Put the pot on a stove and turn it on to start boiling. As the water in the pot gradually heats up, you tell the frog to jump, to save itself, but the frog, if it can talk, will just say, “what is it that you are talking about, nothing is wrong, am ok.” So, it will just sit there until it is boiled up to death. In the past, we were just like that frog in many ways. We lost our forest and mega-diversity, we acted as if nothing was wrong. We lost our seas and rivers and all of our ecological integrity, we just didn’t

mind. As poverty worsens and oppressive systems and structures are turning-on the heat, we seem not to care to democratize wealth and power. Today, we cannot afford to lose even that most essential value in life, peace and unity, otherwise, we will lose everything. We now take heed of the many sufferings visited upon our people and we now declare that enough is enough, even through this simple poem: Oh Mindanao, where ecological wealth abounds! So rich in fisheries, agriculture, forests and mines, Where beauties do not end at the shorelines, But in the Mindanawons’ courageous hearts and minds.

Orlan R. Ravanera

There, in the land of the brave and the free, Amidst nature bounties lies hunger and poverty; Why a few with so much to enjoy? Yet the many with too little or nothing at all! Each shapes the Mindanao we hold dear, Behooving upon us to shed-off apathy and fear. Now listen to the cries of the multitude, Hear what they agonize in their solitude: “Oh, give me food, be it burnt or stale, See POEM, page 11

Hints and Traces

State of the art

PEOPLE nowadays are fascinated, and even obsessed, with getting the latest version of their gadgets. They look forward to having the so-called state of the art. To a certain extent, it’s a fascination that is legitimate as long as it does not deteriorate into an obsession which is already an anomaly and also as long as their intention is pure. That might be a quixotic condition, given the way many people are nowadays. While reasons for greater convenience and practicality are okay in having the state of the art, such reasons many times get diluted with traces of pride, vanity, envy and the like. And that is not okay. Besides, while this state of the art offers many more conveniences and advan-

tages, it also brings with it new dangers. That is why we have to understand that the state of the art in our technologies should also be matched with the state of the art in our spirituality and morality. We should not have the former without the latter. Remember Christ saying that new wine should be poured into new wineskin and not the old one. (cfr. Mt 9, 14-17) We have to update the state of our spirituality and morality to flow with the new developments of the state of the art. To exaggerate a little, we can say that we cannot apply the medieval ways of spirituality and morality to the way things are nowadays. While there are permanent and essential things in our spiritual and moral lives

that should not change, we should not forget that there are also many other elements that can and should change. We have to remember that God, whose life we share and reflect in ours, is both eternally old and new. With God, nothing is new under the sun. (cfr. Ecclesiastes 1, 9) But with him, everything is also made new. (cfr. Rev 21, 5) We need to see to it that the new state of the art in the technologies should enhance, not undermine, our prayer, our spirit of sacrifice, our apostolic concern, our defenses against our weaknesses, temptations and sin, etc. The new state of the art should make us get closer to God, enable us to give greater glory to him. It should help us get a more

Roy Cimagala

intimate knowledge of God’s will and ways in a more abiding way. It should make our heart stand still at the greatness of God and his overflowing love for us. It should make us more fruitful and productive in our pursuit for holiness and apostolate. It should not just give us some material and temporal advantages, but rather more spiritual, supernatural and apostolic fruits. It should trigger further development of the virtues. Also, it should sharpen See ART, page 11

Letters from Davao

POGO and Cardinal Sin

JUST when the government eyes PAGCOR’s revenue to tap for emergency measures that would address the menace of COVID-19 some senators go viral on the senate floor and on TV calling for the closure of POGOs operations. Simonpure Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Chair, Dick Gordon, sermonizes that whatever revenues derived from the Philippines Offshore Gaming Operations cannot compensate for the crime that is attributed to POGO. Not to be left in the discourse, Senator Ping Lacson warns of absurd threats on security claiming that the Chinese nationals working in POGO outlets are members of China’s Peoples Liberation Army (PLA). Frank Drilon wakes

up from reverie then lashes out at Pres. Rodrigo Duterte for refusing to close POGOs saying “it is a stupid mindset to allow POGOs for money”. Then Dick has something more to bring the klieg lights to focus on him. Receiving information about intercepted dollars that entered the ports he suspected with certainty that there’s a connivance between government officials and dozens of Chinese citizens, who allegedly laundered at least $188 million in cash in the Philippines starting from December 2019 to date. The money was said to have come from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bangkok. The carriers claimed it was intended for foreign exchange transactions, travel and casino, investment,

and business use. Gordon in his usual machinegun peroration said that despite the amount of dirty money being brought into the country no concerned government agencies reported such activities. But then again he said that the money is declared upon arrival in the Philippines. Now I do not know what the beef of Dick here. He did not tell us whether the cash was released to the bearer or was confiscated by the Customs authorities. He did not even tell us whether it was smuggled. It was in fact recorded, that is why he knew. As Chair of the blue ribbon committee, he should conduct an immediate investigation if he thinks it is smuggled and stop haranguing us with

Jun Ledesma

speech and more speech. But make no mistake, Dick will still have my votes. POGO is one thing Casino is another. Both are supervised by the Philippine Gaming Corporation. Online gaming started with Roberto Ongpin’s PHILWEB which is an electronic gaming system provider. Early in the Presidency of Rodrigo Duterte, there was this hush that PhilWeb was short-changing the government. This is also the first instance when a fuming Digong vented his ire on the See SIN, page 11

GSIS employee tests positive for COVID-19 Pasay HQ, branches in Quezon City, CDO, Tagum and Iligan closed to the public Business Continuity Plan deployed PRESIDENT and General Manager Rolando Ledesma Macasaet of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) today revealed that one of their regular female employees tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. “The female employee had a travel history to Japan, and she started manifesting

symptoms on March 7. She was admitted at the San Juan de Dios Hospital on March 11, where lab tests subsequently showed that she was indeed positive for the COVID-19 virus,” Macasaet said. The GSIS president refused to reveal the identity of the subject employee,

list and we advised them to self-quarantine and report to us if they are experiencing symptoms,” he further added. Macasaet said that he is also placing himself on self-quarantine, as he had close physical contact with several of the individuals listed down by the em-

ployee who tested positive for COVID-19. “I feel well and am not showing symptoms. But just as a precautionary measure, I had myself tested for COVID-19 and whIle waiting for the results, I am placing myself on self-quarantine for the time being,” Macasaet said.

Due to recent developments, the GSIS Management has decided to continue the lockdown of the GSIS building in Pasay City until April 15. The GSIS Management also announced that the GSIS Branch Office located in Mindanao Avenue, Quezon See TESTS, page 8

Gov’t to establish comms academy to boost PIO skills, services — Andanar By RUBY LEONORA R. BALISTO

M A L AY BA L AY C I T Y, Bukidnon, (PIA) — Communications S ecretar y Martin Andanar said the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) pushed for the establishment of a government communications academy (GCA) that will devote to imparting knowledge on effective and strategic public communication. In his recent visit in Northern Mindanao, Andanar, who is also the Cabinet Officer for Regional Development and Security (CORDS) for Region 10, said the PCOO would be setting up this GCA in Bukidnon—the mountaintop province in the heart of Mindanao—particularly at a two-hectare area in Manolo

Fortich town. In Talakayan sa PIA at SM City Cagayan de Oro, the Secretary said the academy that will be launched this year and targeted to be completed in the first quarter of 2021 would be a government maintained facility that will offer resources related to the study of communication, culture, and media. He said the academy will house a government TV, a radio center, and has a modern dormitory for personnel. “Equipped with modern facilities, this academy will develop the communication skills of information officers from the barangay level up to national government agencies across the country.

Gov’t mulls measures to continue fuel marking amid Covid-19 By JOANN VILLANUEVA

MANILA – Finance officials are mulling some measures for the government to continue the implementation of the fuel marking program despite the community quarantine in Metro Manila from March 15-April 14, 2020. In a Viber message to journalists Sunday, Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III said transport of fuel is exempted from the quarantine, thus, “we would like to continue fuel marking.” “The proposal of BOC (Bureau of Customs) is to issue an exemption on the movement of the marker handlers and to request Coast Guard assistance in the transport,” he said. “We can also continue marking with a team already on the ground in various areas,” he added. The fuel marking program is targeted to address fuel smuggling in the country. BOC data show that as of February 14, 2020, the BOC fuel marking team See MULLS, page 8

CCC and Mayor Sara Duterte to strengthen climate action and peace-building in Davao region DAVAO CITY, 13 March 2020 — In response to the city’s request to discuss urban development challenges and to formulate strategic plans on climate action and peace-building, the Climate Change Commission (CCC) led by Secretary Emmanuel M. De Guzman and Commissioner Rachel Herrera met with Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte and the city planning and Peace 911 project teams on Tuesday. During the meeting, De Guzman committed to strengthen support to Davao City’s planning office in enhancing its local climate change action plan (eLCCAP) and in developing a community-based adaptation project for possible funding by the People’s Survival Fund (PSF), an annual adaptation facility of one billion pesos in the national budget to support local government units

(LGUs) in implementing climate change adaptation measures in vulnerable communities. The CCC and the City of Davao will jointly explore the potential of nature-based solutions to climate risks and impacts in the communities under Mayor Inday Sara’s counter-insurgency program “Peace 911” — a grassroots development initiative that aims to enhance the delivery of government services and infrastructure support in far-flung villages. The project is centered in the city’s Paquibato District in compliance with President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s Executive Order 70, institutionalizing a Whole of Nation Approach in attaining Inclusive Sustainable Peace. Projected climate change impacts such as prolonged drought, severe rainfall, and sea level rise are seen to See ACTION, page 8

Moreover, since the majority of the population in the Davao region depends on agriculture for livelihood, access to PSF would benefit and empower LGUs to increase the resilience of their people as well as to drive economic and social development. During the meeting, the CCC also emphasized that climate action, aside from reducing disaster risk, also encompasses food security, water security, environmental and ecological stability, climate friendly industries and services, and sustainable energy, among other priority areas of intervention. “Ensuring that the city’s action plans are informed by the latest science and sensitive to prevailing and future risks is important to build the resilience of Davao’s communities to the impacts of climate change,” De Guzman said.

expressed gratitude to the city government, the DOH, and the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) for the dignified, religionsensitive and safe burial of the person who died from Covid-19. Mayor Oscar Moreno also sought the public’s understanding and called on them to not allow fear to disrupt normal community living. “We are doing everything to protect public health and at the same time try to maintain optimal functions and operations of the institutions in the city,” Moreno said. He said that so far, the city has zero local transmission of the Covid-19 virus. He said PH40 was admitted at NMMC because it is the regional referral hospital for Covid-19 cases. Support health workers in NMMC “Let us trust the NMMC in doing their mandate. We need to support them as they are in the frontline in making the city, the whole of Northern Mindanao,

capable of handling this health crisis,” said Moreno, who heads the local interagency body overseeing the local response to the Covid-19 emergency. He urged people to stay home and go out in public only to do essential tasks. In order to preserve resources at the NMMC, Moreno urged the public to seek hospital care services either at the city-owned JR Borja General Hospital or in any of the city’s health centers. He advised residents to seek those services in several private hospitals and assured them that the city would enroll them with PhilHealth. For maternal cases, barangay health centers accredited by PhilHealth are capable of taking care of normal births. Some 42 barangay health centers in the city are PhilHealth-accredited to handle maternal health care. He said maternal health or birthing cases that need private hospital care is under full PhilHealth coverage. At the JR Borja General Hospital and the city’s health centers, zero billing is practiced. “We are in crisis situation. We are resilient, we are working to sustain that resiliency by ensuring the functions and operations of basic social services,” Moreno said. (PNA)

City will be closed to the public for the same 30-day period. The GSIS Management also ordered a work suspension in its branch offices located in Cagayan de Oro, Tagum, and Iligan City, after several employees experienced symptoms. The said employees are currently waiting for their lab test results. Macasaet emphasized that all other GSIS branch offices and extension offices nationwide remain open to the public. “I would like to assure the public that GSIS has a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in place, and that our financial services will continue to flow unimpeded to our pensioners and members,” Macasaet stressed. The Business Continuity Plan, developed by the Risk Management Office (RMO) of GSIS, comprises pre-arranged action plans and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for GSIS personnel to follow in times of natural calamities, manmade disasters and medical contingencies such as viral outbreaks. The state pension fund regularly conducts drills and seminars to train its personnel how to deal with various scenarios and crisis events. Despite the lockdown, the GSIS Head Office in Pasay and its branch in Quezon City will continue to operate and will be manned by a skeletal workforce on rotational duty. Entry to the said offices, however, will be highly restricted and limited only to the following persons/parties: • GSIS members (with UMID cards) who want to avail of loans through the GWAPS kiosk; • GSIS members who need to pick-up their GFAL Top-Up cheques; and • Private lending institutions (PLIs) who need to pick-up their GFAL cheques. In order to eliminate the need for Agency Authorized Officers (AAOs) and Liaison Officers (LOs) to go to GSIS, applications for retirement/separation benefits, life insurance claims and over-the-counter (OTC) loan applications may be submitted through designated drop boxes in the Central Office or via email to their Membership Coordinator. The Operations Group of GSIS are currently coordinating the details of this interim measure to the various AAOs and LOs of government agencies. Old-age pensioners who are experiencing problems accessing their pensions should report their concerns via the GSIS Contact Center at telephone 8-847-4747. A GSIS call center agent will be on hand to address their concerns. Macasaet further stressed that GSIS has an existing “file anywhere” policy. “Government agencies based in Quezon City can submit

their claims to GSIS Bulacan, and GSIS Bulacan will be able to process their claims. Individual members can also apply for a loan in any of our branches or GWAPS kiosks nearest them. Almost all of our systems and processes in GSIS are automated and computerized, and this allows us to provide our pensioners and members ‘anytime-anywhere’ access to our services,” he said.

On Friday, UP President Danilo Concepcion said around 6,000 Covid-19 test kits developed by UP scientists are now in stock. The detection kit, being manufactured and stockpiled by Manila HealthTek Inc., will cost around PHP1,320 per test, less expensive than the foreign kit which costs around PHP8,500 per test. The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) earlier vowed to give PHP2 billion for the purchase of additional test kits. Currently, there are 4,500 test kits available in the country and 2,500 more are expected from the World Health Organization. As of Sunday night, the DOH reported 140 confirmed cases of Covid-19 with 12 deaths. President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered a “community quarantine” until April 14 to bar people outside Metro Manila from entering the region, unless they are workers, departing passengers, and individuals aboard vehicles carrying cargoes. On the other hand, Metro Manila residents are required to observe strict social distancing and avoid mass gatherings. (PNA)

eliciting public and opinion on the city’s failure to properly execute its solid waste management program through its Central Material Recovery and Composting Facility (CMRF) in Barangay Bonbonon. DENR Undersecretary Juan Miguel Cuna and EMB OIC Regional Director for Region X, Reynaldo Digamo, appeared in an executive session in the House of Representatives called by the Committee on Ecology headed by House Committee Chairperson, Rep. Glona Labadlabad (2nd District, Zamboanga Del Norte) in relation to the issue. Digamo denied reports that his office had imposed a penalty of 250,000 pesos against the city of Iligan for failure to resolve the issue on overflowing leachate causing the waters of Dodiongan River and Dodiongan Falls to turn brown and black. The contamination caused by leaking leachate from the garbage site had caused health risks among residents.

Digamo further belied reports that his office responded and took action based on a request for investigation and recommendation of filing of appropriate cases against the LGU, allegedly made by Siao. He noted that no such conversation took place between him and Siao. “While no penalty has been charged against the city government insofar as the environmental damage caused by the leak is concerned, the EMB is yet to set a meeting with the LGU to discuss urgent steps to resolve the garbage issue,” said Digamo. He added that EMB’s initial investigation on the matter was a result of a local complaint sent to the bureau. Previous media reports on the garbage spill have recently made rounds in social media highlighting the current condition of Dodiongan Falls, which was reported to be severely affected since leachate started leaking in 2016. Mayor Celso Regencia was put in a spotlight when a CMRF employee filed a NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the intestate estate of the Late SIMEON CABALTERA, who died on December 21, 2010 at Old Kibawe, Kibawe, Bukidnon; That said deceased died intestate, without will and Testament and without outstanding debts in favor of any person or entity; That the deceased left a parcel of land situated at East Kibawe, Kibawe, Bukidnon more particularly described as follows; A parcel of Land identified as Lot No. 2162-A with Katibayan Ng Orihinal na Titulo Blg.

criminal complaint against the local chief executive after he was allegedly abducted and physically abused by Regencia after being accused of sabotaging the facility causing the massive leachate spill. For his part, Regencia denied the allegations and publicly announced that the city’s efforts have been sabotaged. He further noted during his speech in the public market groundbreaking ceremony in February that Siao reported the case to DENR and instructed EMB to file charges against the city citing such action as politically motivated. Siao had earlier denied such claim and maintained he wanted EMB to address the issue as it is under DENR’s jurisdiction. EMB likewise indicated no such instructions were given by Siao. Siao assured the EMB and the Committee of his office’s support on appropriate steps that need to be undertaken and would rely on EMB’s final recommendation and immediate action plan on the matter.

in the history of Philippine governance, our communicators will have their own academy that can harness innovative communications strategy such as engaging in public speaking, working with the media, and preparing releases, among other public relations and information engagements,” Andanar said. He explained that communicators are leaders who

should not post fake news in social media networks, nor encourage them by their comments, nor participate in hurling insults to those they do not agree with. The GCA is one of the government’s institutional initiatives consistent with the government’s goal of having an enlightened and empowered citizenry to make informed decisions towards improved quality of life and contribute to nation-building. “The government has its eyes firmly focused on the common good, ensuring that nobody in society is left behind in the information age,” Andanar said.

Poem... from page 4

It kills the fire in my stomach, In exchange, take whatever you like, I could surrender my freedom or life for food, With little food, I can start the day before sunrise. I can shake out the knotted hair of the stormy sea. Love, sadness, thought, I set at nothing. I will give all for food.” Empowerment of the poor & the oppressed the solution, Let us dismantle structures of social exclusion, To put the people in the mainstream of progress, Let us wage coop revolution for social justice & peace. SHALOM, let us embrace one another in the spirit of oneness, A million coop voices to illuminate darkness, For we are all waves of one sea and leaves of one tree, We now must unite, otherwise we all fall in demise.

our skills in waging the indispensable spiritual warfare in our life. Our ability to detect potential moral dangers should improve. Nowadays, with our much improved capacity to access things, we have to be wary of the subtle tricks of the devil whose business is none other than to lead us to sin. Today, for example, it’s a given that a great majority of the people, especially the young ones, are addicted to pornography and many other vices. The new state of the art in our technologies should help us avoid these things by installing the appropriate warning, filtering and purifying apps and devices. There should be some features in whatever state of the art is developed that would help us maintain presence of God while immersed in our temporal and earthly affairs. Some appropriate reminders in this regard should be made. They should help us maintain our spiritual and supernatural bearing. A state of the art that ignores the presence of God is, simply said, never a sign of progress but rather of retrogression.

the oligarchs. POGO came into play after Philweb’s online operations ceased after is license expired. The billions of revenues generated by POGO dwarfed that of PhilWeb. Ongpin sold his shares to the Aranetas and thereafter was given a green light to operate under new terms set by PAGCOR. Since then the revenues generated by PAGCOR contributed immensely to the coffers enabling the government to extend social and health services, scholarships among others. POGO caters only to overseas patrons, principally Chinese. That being the case, the operators have to employ Chinese-speaking workers which, by latest estimates, are now over 100,000. Only

15% of the workforces of POGOs are Filipinos. We say ‘estimates’ because, in the gambling world, there are illegal POGO operators too. Filipinos are not allowed to play in POGOs. Close POGO and the patrons will go elsewhere. Their online games are almost in every corner of the world. Since Andrea Domingo took over PAGCOR, the regulatory agency contributes more than PhP250 billion to the national treasury. This comes from the joint operations of POGO and casinos which are either run or licensed by the government. As the gaming revenues increase moreover, the crime attributed to it conversely increased. Kidnap for ransom and prostitution spiked. Interestingly the victims are Chinese nationals. Senators blame these crimes to POGO. Add Lacson’s warning and the recent apprehension of several millions of dollars being smuggled into the country then we have a zarzuela where our legislators engage in endless political razzmatazz instead of addressing the Herculean task of how to control the spread of the dreaded coronavirus. But Malacanang is not about to listen to Drilon’s sermon, Lacson’s scarecrows and Dick Gordon recitals to shutdown POGOs. Not when the world economy, including ours, is in turmoil because of COVID-19. Every country needs money to prop its economy. Even his Eminence, the late Cardinal Jaime Sin was quoted as saying he will accept money even from the devil himself if this will be used to help. I think Drilon heard that from the Cardinal his fellow Ilonggo. Let’s face it. The Philippines never imposed any ban on Chinese visiting the country. Many of them we find in casinos and they gamble like they want to see the casinos go bankrupt. They comprise the nouveau riche in China and many of them are young men and women, adventurous, curious and furious. Most of them are tourists. They bet big and lose big and when they are in a fix they resort to kidnapfor-ransom (to include kidnap me), extortion and the women into prostitution. The POGO workers are here for the salary of it. PLA soldiers? Their complexion and their heels would reveal their true identity. To the chagrin of Lacson, the PNP intelligence dismissed his suspicion as baseless. Meaning it is part of Lacson’s sinophobia. In times of emergencies, Duterte can deal with the devil. While some senators want to appear like sheep,

Tuesday, March 17, 2020 Digong is pragmatic and had allowed the legitimate operations of POGO. As I write this piece, the Department of Health is in need of P2-billion to amply address the COVID-19 threats. Sen. Bong Go who chairs the Senate Committee on Health tells his colleagues that DoH needed the funds yesterday. What he gets in response are oratory and incendiary speeches. Drilon for one question the President’s declaration of State of Public Health Emergency amidst the sudden spike of patients found positive of COVID-19. In snide remarks, he tells the media “It is a stupid mindset to allow POGOs for money”. Duterte can take his jab but Cardinal Sin might be turning in his grave.

are shopping mall goers. “We cannot simply do a community quarantine because there are people coming from Bukidnon, people coming from Misor who need to come here because they are undergoing their regular dialysis, etcetera. Unya maglinya pa sila sa mga checkpoint?” he asked. The mayor said that if shopping malls are closed, the flow of people loitering around the city will be minimized since only essential travel will occur. COVID-19, a coronavirus, can be contracted through respiratory moisture from an infected person as well as touching infected surfaces and transferring it to one’s face. Moreno said the same rationale goes for the imposition of the 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. curfew. “Kung wala nay maglaaglaag, wala nay maglakawlakaw sa dalan sa kagabhion, then we have limited the movement of people. Ang point is magpuyo sa balay,” he said. Groceries inside these shopping malls are exempted from the closure. In a related development, Moreno reported that he has allowed Monday the docking of a 2Go passenger vessel at the Cagayan de Oro City port which was carrying passengers from Manila on the way to Nasipit, Agusan del Norte. M/V St. Francis Xavier was refused entry at the Nasipit port, forcing the crew to ask authorities in Cagayan de Oro to allow her passengers to disembark. Moreno said that for humanitarian reasons, he allowed the ship to dock at the Macabalan port provided that all disembarking passengers have their temperatures taken and be whisked away immediately to their destinations in Nasipit without any local layover. By Monday morning, a bus company promptly transported the 491 passengers to their eastern destination. Metro Manila is where the bulk of the more than a hundred COVID-19 cases are currently admitted. The nation’s capital is in community quarantine since Sunday and passengers going to their hometown have been scrambling to get out of the metropolis over the weekend. In Misamis Oriental’s Laguindingan airport – Northern Mindanao’s aerial gateway – Lanao del Sur Gov. Mamintal Adiong Jr. has dispatched a team monitoring

arriving passengers who are Lanao del Sur residents. Adiong said these arrivals will be logged so they could be monitored complying the mandatory 14-day quarantine. Fourteen days is the incubation period of the COVID-19 virus. Meanwhile, Misamis Oriental Gov. Yevgeny Vincente Emano has pledged P1 million to Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) to be used for anti-coronavirus measures. The governor has likewise offered the use of Capitolowned buses to ferry NMMC nurses for free. Located in Cagayan de Oro City, NMMC is the designated regional treatment hub for infectious diseases. As of presstime, it is currently confining six persons under investigation (PUIs) pending the result of their respective COVID-19 testing. But NMMC chief of hospital Jose Chan assured the public that all of these PUIs are in stable condition unlike the deceased coronavirus patient who had been in critical condition since the day he was admitted there. Also on Monday, the provincial government of Misamis Oriental donated a total of 45 sets of personal protective wear to the Police Regional Office (PRO) 10 to be used as police officers who are in the frontlines of anti-COVID measures. The personal protective wear consists of a coverall suit, a head cap, a shoe cap, goggles and an N95 face mask.

from page 1 Emano also ordered to immediately release the P6,000 clothing allowance for the provincial capitol employees, on top of the 10-day monetization. The governor also encouraged the provincial capitol workers to purchase medicines and food for their family. He said that the provincial capitol workers would also be dismissed early Monday afternoon to allow the provincial disaster personnel to disinfect the entire capitol building.

from page 1 practice will never end. A case has to be filed,” Cane said. Police operatives have apprehended Michael Ef Perez Gumonit, 29, single, pastor of International One Way Outreach Foundation in the village of Binongan in Veruela while he was having their breakfast. He voluntarily went with the police to the Municipal Police Station for

further interrogation. Cane had earlier warned in his Facebook post that Gumonit’s post he regarded as “fake news” is even more dangerous than the virus as he asked the police in Veruela to track him down and let him answer to what he had done. He told Colonel Ringo Zarzoso, provincial police director, to let the Veruela police chief explain why no action was taken by his station despite being used as “source” of this fake information that caused panic and restlessness of the people in Veruela and nearby areas. Gumonit had posted in his wall that there are already two positive cases of COVID-19 in the villages of San Gabriel and Sta. Emilia attributing his source of information from his church member who is a member of Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team (BPAT). It turned out that the information was false. He admitted his informant may have wrongly overheard the discussion of a police officer during a seminar in the village of Sampaguita thinking that person under monitoring could mean a positive case. But the police officer on desk at the Veruela police said COVID-19 was never discussed in the seminar since they only talked about peacekeeping enhancement. In a video clip, Gumonit claimed responsibility for posting false information as he asked for an aplogy to those who saw the post. He also asked apology to Cane and Veruela Mayor Myrna Mondejar hoping that he will be cleared from a possible cybercrime case. In Agusan del Sur, there are seven PUMs, of which six were already cleared while one still awaiting to finish his 14-day home quarantine. Cane has announced on Friday afternoon that a lone person under investigation after he coughed on the last day of his quarantine. The PUI is an OFW from Thailandwho went on vacation to his hometown in Sta. Josefa.
