DOST launches Complementary Food at Mahinog, Camiguin ISIS misleads us, says Maute -IS returnee

By LADY JEAN KABAGANI

MARAWI CITY -- “Our weakness such as poverty and ignorance was exploited and taken advantage of, we were meant to believe that by fighting, eternal peace can be achieved,” a Maute-IS returnee said during the launching of the reintegration program here on Tuesday, Feb. 26.

Abu Mohamad (not his real name) shared how they came to realize that, as a terrorist combatant would only destroy the lives of many.

“We have been misled and made to believe that what we were doing was according to the words from the Above, yet we were wrong. It only causes destruction and division among Muslims living here in Marawi City and the entire Lanao del Sur,” Mohamad said.

Mohammad is one of the 135 Maute-IS returnees who returned to the folds of the law.

He testified with other returnees that before they surrendered, stories were rife about the military being rude and all the negative narratives about the organization peddled by Maute-IS leaders.

“During our stay there at the 51st Infantry Battalion, we were treated with kindness and we felt the sincerity in them (military), that they are extending their hands to help us which we never expected that way,” Mohammad added.

His fellow returnees have felt the same kindness from the military, a stark contrast to what the Maute-IS was saying about the government soldiers. This, he said, has changed their mind, which resulted in their return to the government.

Mohammad noted that all of them have brought down their weapons and sincerely surrendered to See MISLEADS, page 10

AFP, PNP, PLGU, UNDP push for ‘Balik-loob’ reintegration program

By LADY JEAN KABAGANI

MARAWI CITY -- After returning to the folds of the law, former members of Maute-IS group have formally undergone reintegration program to help them lead normal lives from being combatants to productive citizens of Lanao del Sur province.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP) together with the Provincial Government of Lanao del Sur and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) have initiated and institutionalized the launching of the Reintegration program for about 135 Maute-IS returnees from different municipalities of Lanao del Sur. Col. Romeo Brawner Jr., commander of 103rd Infantry ‘Haribon’ Brigade explained the rationale of the ‘Balik-loob’ platform “this could help prevent the problem on violent extremisms and could be a way to lasting peace.”

Brawner revealed the group of returnees composed mainly of fighters,

their relatives and supporters. Some of them fought during the early stage of the Marawi siege and have escaped.

So far, about 25 Maute-IS members with 20 supporters are still active under the leadership of Abu Dar - the current target of the ongoing military pursuit operations in the municipality of Sultan Dumalondong.

Brawner said the military expects the remaining members of the lean-

BigMo Kroepeck, or t h e c om mu n it y - b a s e d Rice Mongo, is one of the complementary foods developed by the DOST-Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI).

It was innovated to be on top of the children’s sought-after foods despite the obvious demand for junk foods.

The launching also marked the first day of feeding for the 72 school age children with nutritional needs. (DOST10/PIA10)

• The freelance journalist was arrested in a joint operation of police operatives • Mr Padua claimed this arrest is an act of harassment

By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent

THE Cagayan de Oro Press Club (COPC) president has recommended Tuesday (February 26) for the expulsion of one of its members Siegfred “Jigs” M. Padua.

This, after COPC has already received more complaints about the broadcaster’s alleged ‘shady transactions’ in the guise of his being a member of the city’s premier organization - COPC. Jesus “Ritchie” Salloman,

COPC’s newly elected president in a statement sent to media outlets reported that there were already a lot of teachers and DepEd employees who came to COPC office and complained about Mr Padua’s activities, allegedly destroying DepEd employees’ credibility and reputation.

“COPC will not tolerate this kind of modus being concocted by Mr. Padua who have been using his COPC membership in undertaking these alleged shady transac-

tions,” Salloman, the club’s president, said in a statement.

Padua was arrested for libel via a warrant issued by the Regional Trial Court 10 (RTC) Branch 18, based on the complaint of libel filed by a certain Marichelle F. Saga, a current principal at the Lumbia Elementary School.

Police elements led by PSI Mario Mantala, Jr, PSupt Joram Jumalon and his men; RACU 10 led by PCI Ignacio Gamba III and COCP

Station 7 personnel headed

by PSI Breccia Ruth Deloso swooped down at the house of the broadcaster in Purok 5, Brgy Tablon and arrested Padua by virtue of an arrest warrant issued for libel by Judge Dennis Z. Alcantar, presiding judge of RTC Branch 18.

The arrest warrant, however, allowed the broadcaster to post a bail amounting to P72,000.00 for his temporary liberty.

After the arrest at around 9:00 in the morning of Feb-

ruary 26, Padua was temporarily detained at MDC, for which the freelance jouralist also immediately posted a bail for his temporary freedom.

APPROPRIATE ACTION Salloman added that “appropriate actions will be taken to remove Mr. Padua from the Club’s roster of members in light of what happened.”

Padua’s accuser in the libel case is a certain Mar-

ichelle Saga, a current principal at Lumbia Elementary School.

In his statement, Salloman said that aside from the principal, a number of teachers had already approached the club and complained about Padua’s actions.

The statement did not indicate though the nature of the complaints.

“With his arrest, the new set of COPC officers is now compelled to act on those complaints,” he said.

“It is our hope that local See RECOMMEND, page 11

What is Perfect Joy?

ONE day in winter, St. Francis was traveling with Brother Leo to the monastery of Saint Mary of the Angels. Suffering greatly from the cold, he called to Brother Leo who was walking before him and said, “Brother Leo, if it pleases God that the Friars Minor (their congregation) will give a great example of holiness and edification in all the lands, write down and note carefully, that this would not be perfect joy.”

A little further on, St. Francis called to him a second time, “O Brother Leo, if the Friars Minor could make the lame walk, give sight to the blind, chase away demons, and even greater work, if they should raise the dead after four days, write that this would not be perfect joy.”

Shortly after, he cried out again, “O Brother Leo, if the Friars Minor could explain all scripture, if they have the gift of prophecy, could know the secrets of all consciences and all souls, if all the treasures of the earth were revealed to them, write that this would not be perfect joy.”

Brother Leo wondered much within himself and questioned the saint, “Father, teach me, what is perfect joy?”

Saint Francis answered: “If, when we arrive at Saint Mary of the Angels, all drenched with rain and trembling with cold, all covered with mud and exhausted from hunger; if, when we knock at the convent-gate, the porter will ask us angrily who we are; if, after we have told him

that we are two brethrens of Friars Minor, he shall answer angrily, ‘What you say is not true, you are two impostors trying to deceive people and take away the alms of the poor. Go away.’ If then he refuses to open the door to us and leave us outside, exposed to the snow and rain, suffering from cold and hunger till nightfall; then, if we accept such injustice and cruelty with patience, without murmuring, believing with humility and charity that the porter really knows our true heart, and that it is God who makes him speak like that against us, write down, O Brother Leo, that this is perfect joy.

And if we knock again, and the porter comes out in anger to drive us away with oaths and blows, as if we were vile impostors,

Atty. Lordan G. Suan

saying, ‘ Get lost, miserable robbers! Go to the prison house, for here you shall neither eat nor sleep!’ and if we accept all this with patience, with joy, and with charity, O Brother Leo, write that this indeed is perfect joy.

And if, urged by cold and hunger, we knock again, entreating the porter with many tears to give us shelter, for the love of God, and if he comes out more angry than before, exclaiming, ‘These are troublesome rascals, I will deal with them as they deserve’; and taking See JOY, page 5

A Deeper View

Universality of human behavior WATCHED with great interest until 4 AM yesterday the much-awaited testimony of erstwhile President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer before the 42-member oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and realized for myself the evils of political blind fanaticism.

To recall, the Washington Post fact check on Trump for the last two years since he ascended to the US presidency yielded the fact that during the period he had lied to the American people on a lot of things almost 9,000 times.

But member of the president’s Republican Party in the oversight committee conveniently set this fact aside by pounding on the credibility of Michael Cohen, the jail-bound lawyer

of Trump for over a decade, after being convicted for lying to Congress and other felonious acts.

If this audacious behavior of the Republican congressmen in that committee does not constitute an error in judgment, pray tell what is.

Truth is their audacity is the result of their blind fanaticism to Trump, which, by the way, is the same audacity displayed by our own members of Congress – Senate and House of Representatives – especially at this time under President Duterte.

Blind fanat icism is shameless because it prevents the fanatic from seeing the naked truth or makes the fanatic deny the reality even if it stares at him already.

During the more than

seven hours of grilling, all that the Republican oversight committee members could show as their best was impugn Cohen’s credibility.

They deliberately skirted asking substantial questions relative his testimony and even forgot to defend the president to whom they have shown canine devotion from the stinging allegations of the witness.

Such behavior reminds us how our own legislators behave in such a situation.

In this regard, perhaps it’s worth remembering how the members of the House of Representatives took turns in shaming Sen. Leila de Lima when they were supposedly investigating in aid of legislation the charges hurled against her for alleged involvement in the illegal drug trade.

Jesse E.L. Bacon II

The nation could still vividly remember how House members took turns in poking fun at the testimony of Ronnie Dayan, the senator’s personal driver who she admitted having a romantic relationship with, about his relationship with the lady senator. Irrelevant and impertinent questions about their relationship were raised knowing full well that the hearing was covered live by radio and television.

And yet those hearings never yielded any piece of legislation even if it was conducted supposedly in aid of legislation. What it yielded was de Lima’s See BEHAVIOR, page 5

Think A Minute

No parking

THINK a minute.

On this journey of life do you sometimes feel like pulling over and parking?

You feel like you have done enough, worked enough, and learned enough. It’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride to the end.

But “The problem with doing nothing is you never know when you’re finished.”

When we pull over and park we get nowhere, and stop short of experiencing all that life has for us.

One parking place we might stop at is what we think are our handicaps and weaknesses, because we compare ourselves to others who have certain abilities we do not have.

But we must realize that we have our own special abilities. You and I must learn to accept ourselves with our own physical appearance, personality and talents. No one is completely handicapped! We each have something very important that we can be and do in this world which no one else can. This is why others actually need you to make the most of your assets and abilities, so you add your contribution and influence in their lives.

A second parking place that many of us stop at is our failures. Yet we all have failed, so join the club!

Simply learn from it and try smarter next time. “We’ve

only truly failed when we stop trying.” It’s so simple, yet so true: “A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits.”

The final place many of us park is by our successes.

In 1899, after the U.S. Patent Office had given over 600,000 patents, it made this statement: “Everything that can be invented has been invented.” They could not have been more wrong!

Think of all the inventions since 1899: airplanes, radio, television, the computer, the Internet, cell phones—just to name a few! And inventions continue to be made every single day! Just because you have achieved a little success in life, does not

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

mean that is all you can do.

“Some people think they’re in the groove when they’re really in a rut.” You will never know all you could have done in life unless you keep going and growing.

For whatever reason, if you have given up and stopped reaching for more in your life, you can change all that today. Right now, you can ask Jesus to forgive you for your failure to live the way you know you should.

And now, brother, listen to the conclusion. Above all the graces and all the gifts of the Holy Spirit which Christ grants to His friends, is the grace of overcoming oneself. And accepting willingly, out of love for Christ, all suffering, injury, discomfort and contempt.

For in all other gifts of God we cannot glory, seeing they proceed not from ourselves but from God. According to the words of the Apostle, “What have you that you have not received from God? And if you have received it, why do you claim the glory

Security Bank Posts Net Income of Php 8.6 Billion in 2018 28 February 2019, Makati, Philippines – Security Bank Corporation (PSE: SECB) posted Php 8.6 billion in net income in 2018. A key component of the Bank’s earnings is net interest income from customer loans and deposits, which increased by 30% or Php 3.6 billion to Php 15.7 billion.

This was driven by the continued expansion of consumer loans and low-cost deposits.

Consumer loans grew 47% while low-cost deposits increased 15%. Consumer loans now account for 20% of total loans versus 16% a year ago.

Total loans increased 12% to Php 416 billion. Wholesale loan growth was 7%. Total deposits increased 18% to Php 489 billion. The Bank’s interest margins continued to improve. Net interest spread on loans and deposits further increased to 4.72% in Q42018, up by 29 basis points quarter-on-quarter and up by 48 basis points year-on-year.

Interest income from fi-

nancial investments was lower by 11% or Php 1.2 billion mainly due to a lower level of investment securities at amortized cost. Total net interest income grew by 7% to Php 20.8 billion. Overall, net interest margin further improved to 3.4% in Q4-2018, up by 10 basis points quarteron-quarter and up by 13 basis points year-on-year.

Service charges, fees and commissions increased by 26% to Php 2.9 billion. This was driven by credit card, bancassurance, loan fees and deposit charges.

The decrease in trading gains by 85% or Php 2 billion and the increase in provision for income tax by 47% or Php 790 million primarily accounted for the Bank’s lower net income in 2018. Net income was lower by 16% or Php 1.7 billion versus previous year.

Operating expense growth was 10% (excluding provisions for credit and impairment

losses). Cost-to-income ratio was 53.9%.

Asset quality remained healthy, with gross non-performing loan (NPL) ratio at 0.7%. Provision for credit losses was Php 714 million.

NPL reserve cover was 112%, computed using the new BSP Circular 1011 guidelines on loan loss provisions which the Bank adopted in September 2018.

Security Bank continues to be among the country’s best capitalized private domestic universal banks. Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio increased to 16.4% from 15.5% a year ago. Total Capital Adequacy Ratio likewise increased to 18.7% from 17.7%. Return on shareholders’ equity was 8.1%. Shareholders’ capital increased to Php 109 billion, up 4% year-on-year. Total assets stood at Php 767 billion, up 10%.

Security Bank has a total of 305 branches and 760 ATMs as of December 31, 2018.

DANIEL L. VALENTON, Respondent.

CIVIL NO. 2018-1122

FOR: ANNULMENT OF MARRIAGE

ORDER It appearing that the respondent Daniel L. Valenton is no longer residing in the given address and that plaintiff has no other personal knowledge of alternative addresses of respondent, the petitioner is directed to cause the publication of summons in a newspaper of general circulation at the expense of plaintiffs, particularly as follows: “Republic of the Philippines REGIONAL TRIAL COURT 10th Judicial Region BRANCH 43 Gingoog City SUMMONS TO: DANIEL L. VALENTON

Phase 2, Block 13, Lot 18

NHA Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City GREETINGS:

You are hereby required to file within sixty (60) days from date publication of this summons with this Court, your answer to the petition stated as follows:

1. That the petitioner’s father, Rony Go, remarried to Brenda Reyes- Go, in 1978 when petitioner was only three (3) years old. Her father brought her to stay with him in Gingo-og in the house of his second wife, Brenda.

There petitioner grew up under the care of her loving stepmother but after many years with her, petitioner left Gingo-og City when she was to attend school in Cagayan de Oro City. But every now and then, petitioner used to come back to Gingo-og and in particular at the house of her stepmother which she considers her home and her domicile.

Upon the other hand petitioner may be easily contacted and may be with office located adjacent to the Provincial Capitol Building of Misamis Oriental and Zayre National Highway of the said City, where petitioner serves as one of its employees;

2. That respondent, however, may be served with summons and other court processes at his last known address which is Phase 2, Block 13, Lot 18, NHA Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City;

3. That petitioner and respondent are husband and wife. Their Certificate of Marriage which is attached as Exhibit “A” reveals that their marriage was celebrated at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, located at Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City on April 18, 2001;

4. That their union was blessed with one (1) child only, a daughter, whom they Christened and named as Mary Claire Go Valenton. A copy of her Certificate of Live Birth as well as her Baptismal Certificate are hereto attached also as Exhibits “B”and “C” respectively which tell that their daughter was born on December 4, 2001 and was baptized on May 3, 2002;

5. That said marriage would not have happened because before that and for many times respondent was showing some kind of weird attitude by way of behaving abnormally that for a little problem he met, he flared up into intense rage. Not only that, while we were engaged to be married he was still cavorting with several women. And when I confronted him about them, he turned violent. In fact there was a time that he wanted to commit suicide to threaten me not to confront him again what he was doing.

Lastly, while still engaged to marry when petitioner’s father suggested that respondent should undergo some kind of psychological testing or examination, he confronted my father in anger and quarreled with him.

It was only my patient that prevented the break-up of our engagement;

Republic of the Philippines) Cagayan De Oro City) S.S.

8. That despite these many incidents of violence petitioner still stuck. Stick with him, petitioner was not supporting them. He alone enjoys is income together with his “barcadas”and friends. Thus for a period of eleven (11) years of these parties consortium they have not gathered a single property when respondent income as a liaison officer of the city government was sufficient.

One time in 2005 when he left his wife and children for a long trip respondent left them Twenty Pesos (20.00) only for their subsistence. This unsupportive attitude of the respondent to his family drove the petitioner to look for a job if only to send their common child to school. Not only that, because her income was insufficient to sustain the needs of their growing daughter, petitioner had to get an educational loan and pay the amortization thereof by herself all alone. Our daughter grew up and educated through the painstaking labour of the petitioner.

9. That this maniacal attitude of petitioner’s husband was so extreme that even while he was a husband to the petitioner and a father to their daughter, he was playing with other women. This is the reason why his income was not given to support them. And not only that, respondent unsatisfied by the many women he has had in his life, he went further with his perversion that one time he molested his very own flesh and blood and their only daughter by fondling her sexual organ by way of “fingering”. This perversion resulted to injuries and pain to their daughter and the loss of her respect to a father to the extent that a criminal case was filed against him for violation of Republic Act 7610. After trial and in due time the Family Court in Cagayan de Oro issued a judgment of conviction against the respondent. A copy of which is hereto attached as Exhibit “G”and the dispositive portion thereof is reproduced below for ready reference.

“WHEREFORE, the foregoing premises considered, judgment is hereby rendered finding the accused DANIEL VALENTON y LILOC, GUILTY beyond reasonable doubt for violation of Section 5 (b), Article III of Republic Act No. 7610, and the accused is hereby sentenced to suffer the indeterminate penalty of imprisonment from Eight (8) years and One (1) day of prison mayor as minimum, to Fourteen (14) years and Eight (8) months and One (1) day of reclusion temporal as maximum and pursuant to existing jurisprudence, the accused is also ordered to pay indemnity “AAA”the amount of P15,000.00 as moral damages and to pay a fine of P15,000.00.

SO ORDERED

10. That month of June, 2011 was an ugly month in the life of the petitioner and their daughter, Mary Claire. This sexual molestation of a father to his daughter changed automatically the life of the latter. While before she was an outward going little girl, thereafter she became a loner and often herself on the dress of her mother. She did refused and did not want as possible, to see other people suspecting that they have knowledge about her unpleasant experience with her father. Worst, she even lost her appetite of going to school, but her mother prodded her hardly to go and to attend classes for the sake of her future. Indeed her self-esteem was diminished to the lowest level, and hunts them, that mother and daughter, if only to assuage their continuing pains, went to the extent of filing an action in court for a CHAGE OF THEIR NAMES under Rule 103 of the Rules of Court. They prayed there that if only to forget that immoral incident in their lives they wanted to have their names changed by deleting their family name VALENTON. The reason is clear that every time they hear that name VALENTON they are catapulted back to that time remembering that unwholesome experience.

The Court listened and cooperated with them if only to minimize their woes, that as a sequel a judgment was issued allowing the mother and daughter to change their respective names from Lorenda Go Valenton to LOREN CATEDRILLA GO and from Mary Claire Go Valenton to MARY CLAIRE GO. A copy of the DECISION of the Court is hereto attached as Exhibit “H”. the dispositive portion of the judgment is reproduced below for ready reference:

6. That while our daughter was already six (6) or (7) years old, he exposed her to television shows and CD recordings which showed sexual encounters between men and women and of the same sexes. This act of the respondent got the plaintiff way of him why he was allowing her daughter to watch on this ugly and immortal shows, but she was prevented and ultimately kept mum about it because she did not want to stir violence from him.

“WHEREFORE, the instant Petition is GRANTED. The Civil Registrar for Cagayan de Oro City or any person acting in his/her behalf is ordered to:

7. That indeed while respondent is abnormally a sexy man; he was also physically violent man. There were many instances when he physically beat the petitioner in front of their daughter. The episode of violence’s recorded and summarized by the petitioner in 2011 so that she may not forget them are marked as Exhibits “D”and the page 2 thereof as “ D-1” are hereto attached if only to enlighten the Court that respondent is a very violent man.

2. CHANGE the first Name of Lorenda C. Go in the Certificate of Marriage of Daniel L. Valenton and Lorenda C. Go ( Registry No. 2001-1189) FROM “LORENDA”to “LOREN”;

On May 04, 2004 an episode of violence struck the petitioner perpetrated by her very own husband, the herein respondent. Proof thereof is the Police Report attached and marked as Exhibit “E”. This police report entitled Battered Wife narrated the event of violence. Esophagus which caused her much pain and sufferings. A Medical Certificate was issued on May 20, 2004 to the petitioner by the attending physician Rogelio R. Gannaban, M.D. exposing the clinical findings of injuries of the petitioner.

A copy of the same is hereto attached as Exhibit “E-1”. This maniacal attitude of the respondent comes out almost every two (2) or three (3) months which the petitioner need not in detail mentioned here saved in January 31, 2017 that because of the severity of the injuries she suffered she reported the incident and had herself examined and under the care of a medical doctor. The incident was kind of horrific and almost tragic. The police Blotter tells that “Daniel Valenton 31 years old without apparent and justifiable reason mauled her by boxing her, inflicting several contusions and hematomas on different parts of petitioner’s body. A copy of this police blotter report is report is hereto attached as Exhibit “F”. this reported incident is substantiated by the Medical Certificate issued by J.B. Borja General Hospital on January 31, 2007. The several confusions in the body of the petitioner are revealed there by the attending physician Dr. Ryan Mortiz, M.D. A copy of the same is hereto attached as Exhibit “F-1”for ready reference. Aside from these documents aforementioned a photograph of the smudges and hematomas that are apparent on the forearm and the neck of the petitioner is hereto attached also as Exhibit “F-2”.

(SGD.) RESTITUTO BAUTISTA SABATE, JR. Counsel for the petitioner SABATE LAW OFFICE Zone 11 Masterson Ave., Upper Carmen Cagayan de Oro City PTR No. 3635167 11/27/17 CDO IBP NO. 1080036 11/09/17 MIS.OR. CHAPTER Roll of Attorney’s No. 34306 MCLE VI-0000812 10/29/16

But aside from the above, petitioner just kept these many other beating incidents unreported and in secret, because she did not want to hurt and/ or annoy the feelings of her father. Besides, washing dirty linens in public exposes her family to public shame, which she did not want to happen. As proof thereof six (6) years after their marriage he beat the petitioner hardly that hematoma in the arms and on the neck are visible effect of respondent’s severe beating. Worst there was a time that respondent attempted to slit the neck of the petitioner. At this juncture, petitioner realized that enough is enough that she gathered evidences to prove those horrific and nearly tragic incidents as aforementioned;

1. CHANGE the First Name in the Certificate of Live Birth of Lorenda Catedrilla Go ( Registry No. 2938 ( f-75) FROM “LORENDA”to “LOREN”;

3. CHANGE the name in the Certificate of Live Birth ( Registry No. 2001-17968) of Mary Claire Go Valenton FROM “MARY CLAIRE GO VALENTON”to “MARY CLAIRE GO”; and 4. CHANGE the Mother’s First Name in the Certificate of Live Birth of Mary Claire Go Valenton FROM “LORENDA”to “LOREN”.

SO ORDERED.” Cagayan de Oro City, 22 May 2018”

11. That respondent undoubtedly violated if not ignored the solemn charges of a true and valid marriage by failure to comply with the essentials of marriage and they are:

a. To render mutual help and support ( Article 68 FC); b. To live together under one roof; c. To observed mutual love, respect and fidelity. For love, sexual comfort and loyalty to one another are the basic tenets of marriage; and d. Not to commit acts which will bring dishonor and whole danger or injury to each other or to the family as a whole (Art. 72FC). For safety and security of the family at all times is the paramount duty of the father and the mother as well.

12. That respondent failed and was non-complaint to the above essential of marriage afore stated. Thus it could be safely said that there is something wrong loving and legitimate marriage, hence this marriage must be annulled and made ineffective;

On August 9, 2010, another incident of violence was committed by the respondent against the petitioner which the latter reported to the police in Cagayan de Oro City. The Police report in handwritten form revealed that without apparent reason respondent pulled petitioner’s hand hard enough to cause her pain which even until now she is still chronically suffering. A copy of this police report is hereto attached as Exhibit “F-3” and a Medical Certificate substantiating the injuries that petitioner suffered is also attached as Exhibit “F-4”.

13. That today defendant has escaped and avoided his sentence, but his last known address is the one before stated where court summonses and other court processes may be served to him.

And lastly, on September 16, 2011, another incident of violence was done by the respondent against his wife, the petitioner and their daughter when he blew up in rampage and went berserk inside their residence and

Other relief basing upon the above premises, the same is also prayed of.

November 13, 2018, Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines.

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is most respectfully prayed Honorable Court that the marriage entered into by and between the herein parties, by reason of psychological incapacity, pursuant to Article 36 of the Family Code, be declared ANULLED.

DAVAO CITY -- The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology in Region 11 (BJMP-11) has started implementing reforms at Davao City Jail that will include a “no contact policy” soon.

While it has been implementing the “no visit rule” for a month now, BJMP is currently working on es-

tablishing a receiving area for inmates to communicate with families without necessarily going through physical contact.

“It is being worked out by our logistics and it already has a blueprint,” Jail Inspector Edo Lobenia, BJMP-11 spokesperson, told local reporters Wednesday.

Lobenia said BJMP has

already started investigating the four jail guards facing accusations of various offenses, such as allowing contrabands inside the facility.

Proceedings for the potential summary dismissal of BJMP Jail Chief Inspector Roman Hernandez, the agency’s jail administrator for Davao del Sur that

includes this city, is also ongoing, Lobenia said.

Hernandez tested positive for shabu use in a drug test during the Operation Greyhound last Saturday, where policemen and antinarcotics agents also confiscated PHP160,000 worth of shabu, drug paraphernalia, and bladed weapons.

The surprise inspection

also led to the wounding of three policemen and the death of four inmates who allegedly attacked law enforcers.

“We are showing to the public that we are not tolerating personnel involved in illegal activities,” Lobenia said.

Lobenia said that as

NPA leader yields in Zamboanga Norte PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur -- A New People’s Army (NPA) rebel leader has surrendered to military authorities in the Zamboanga del Norte town of Gutalac, officials said Wednesday.

Lt. Col. Leon Onggao, the newly-installed commander of the Army’s 42nd Infantry Battalion, identified the NPA rebel surrenderer only as a certain Ian, a team leader.

Onggao said Ian, who

turned over a .45-caliber pistol with ammunition, surrendered at around 7 a.m. Tuesday in Barangay Sas, Gutalac.

“Ian is frustrated and disappointed with the terrorist group (NPA) leadership because of the unfulfilled promises for a monthly salary of PHP7,000 and weekly support of PHP4,000 for his family just to join their ranks,” Onggao said.

He said Ian and other combatants were deceived

EARLY REGISTRATION\Its Impact to Education

By GRACE CORILLA DUBRIA Teacher I-TABLON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Early Registration is a Department of Education (DepEd) Project which aims to prepare for the opening of classes this coming June, 2019.

This is also done to help the department identify the needs of all school children, the number of teachers required and the kind of services they can offer for the good of the Filipino children. Early Registration is also a way for the DepEd to identify students who have left school and the kind of intervention they can give to them including the pupils with special conditions.

DepEd Region X Director Art Bayocot sunctioned all the school division heads and schools to conduct door-todoor campaign and meetings together with parents and Local Government Unit and do some measures and interventions to raise awareness on early registration period and its importance to education.

Early Registration period started last January 26, 2019 and will end on February 22, 2019. Kindergarten, Grade 7 and 11 pupils both in public and private schools are the recipients of this program.

This is in accordance with the presidential proclamation.

Tablon Elementary School soars high in the implementation of this project. The teachers spread the awareness through meetings with parents, social media and contacted the LGU, private individuals and groups to inform them about this program. Last January 26, 2019, a program was conducted to mark the opening of the said endeavour. The opening was successfully participated by the parents, private individuals and local officials as well as the teachers of this school.

During the opening program, the principal emphasized the “No Collection Policy” and the importance of Parenting.

The Call for Digitized – Instruction in facilitating learning Today’s teachers are faced with a dilemma. Students are exposed to a variety of media on a daily basis. The media exposure presents challenges for teachers striving to engage their students in a traditional classroom setting. Traditional classroom teachers are faced with the challenges of delivering instruction that competes with the media-rich and interactive experiences the typical student is exposed to daily.

Excellent education leads to the success of life. Effective teaching is concerned with the students as a person and with his general development.

chance to live a normal life and be given a chance to spend our lives for peace.”

He also emphasized that they were all victims of the terrorist group that swooped down to Marawi City.

He added: “The ISIS misled us and made us believe that they are fighting for Islam and for Jihad. We have destroyed a community instead of making one...

That is not Islam. That is just pure evil.”

“If only we could step back in time and do things right, but, Alhamdullihah (thanks God) we were now given a second chance to live again and make a change and a difference for all,” said Mohammad.

Returnees have undergone a series of custodial debriefing.

Presently, the returnees still fear for their lives since they were threatened to be killed by Abu Dar – the current leader of the Maute-IS who is now the target of the ongoing military pursuit operations in Sultan Dumalondong, Lanao del Sur. Some of the returnees feared that they would be arrested by the policemen if they roam around the province.

However, Col. Romeo Brawner, commander of 103rd Infantry ‘Haribon’ Battalion, explained that every returnee would undergo processing, “Meron po tayong proseso na sinusunod kaya wag po kayong magalala (We have processes to follow, so, don’t worry.)”

“You will undergo processing, aalamin natin ‘yung mga background ninyo at yung mga circumstances, yung mga rason kung bakit kayo sumali at sumama sa grupo ng mga terorista at bakit kayo nagbalik-loob.

Lahat ng ito kasama ‘dun sa proseso at para mas mapaganda yung pagtulong namin sa inyo kasama dito

yung tinatawag ‘arrest order’ na pag uusapan natin with Philippine National Police (PNP). Basta wag kayong mag alala at magtulungan lang tayong lahat,” Brawner added.

[You will undergo processing to check your background, the circumstances and the reasons why you joined them. All this is just part of the process to make everything in order. We will also coordinate with the PNP; don’t worry.]

Brawner clarified all of the returnees are closely monitored by the military and other security forces.

Meanwhile, Mohammad together with the other returnees swore that they would support the military’s campaign for peace and order.

“We are your affiliates in achieving peace in Lanao del Sur and in our country.

We are very much thankful to our beloved President Rodrigo Duterte and to all those who believe that we can also help in sustaining peace in our place,” he declared.

The AFP is encouraging other members of MauteIS to also return to the government and together work for a lasting peace.

help us convince others to surrender, and to tell them not to join the group or any group sowing violence against the government,” Brawner said.

Brawner is also optimistic that these returnees will help end terrorism.

“These returnees will be able to help us give the message that the government is sincere to pursue the reconciliation program for them,” Brawner explained.

Commodore Roy Echeverria, of the Philippine Coast Guard-Southern Mindanao, said he has directed his personnel assigned in Bislig, Surigao del Sur and Mati, Davao Oriental to undertake a joint maritime patrol with PDEA, maritime police, and barangay officials “to strengthen the security in the area and gather information” on entry of illegal drugs.

He said among the assumptions being looked at by authorities include the possibility of those drugs being blown by strong winds from the high seas before some villagers discovered them floating along the coastline in Caraga; divert the attention of the authorities on the eastern part of the country, so drug syndicates can sneak in huge volumes of illegal drugs elsewhere; and drug syndicates are using the Philippines as the transshipment hub to send drugs to other countries.

Echeverria said cocaine is not as prevalent as shabu in the country because it is expensive.

He said they suspected that a Colombian drug cartel – the Medellin Group, which has now entered the country – is behind it.

“Who are the countries producing this stuff? Colombia, South American countries. We assume it came from them. They are the origin. The main ingredient is coca plant, which grows in South America,” Echeverria said, adding that another drug cartel from Mexico called “Sinaloa” could also be behind it.

He said investigation is ongoing to determine the individuals involved,

particularly the recipients of the floating cocaine.

“Our national headquarters is coordinating with international counterparts for possible identification of who are behind this illegal trade, especially those responsible in the floating cocaine recovered along our shoreline,” he said. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

“The burial is tentatively scheduled in the morning on March 6 at Shepherds Meadow Memorial Park in Sumpong, Malaybalay City,” Carla said.

She said the governor’s remains are expected to arrive at the family’s residence in Malaybalay on Friday.

“We want to bring him at the provincial Capitol before the flag ceremony because he has never been late in the flag ceremony when he was Governor,” Carla said.

Fortich first became the governor of Bukidnon in 1968. He was reelected to the post a record six times.

During his term, he was awarded the “1968 Order of the Fighting Cock” as one of the Top Ten Outstanding Governors for Community Development.

He was also a recipient of the Presidential Award of the “1970 Golden Bahay Kubo” for Most Outstanding Governor of the Philippines.

In 1997, his programs also earned the province the prestigious title as the “Most Outstanding Province of the Philippines.”

The former governor also took pride that no less than President Ramos himself presented him the much coveted “Gawad Ng Lahi Pamana Award”. (PNA)

principals and other DepEd employees.

1st AMSUDA Clan reunion held

By DIVINA M. SUSON, Correspondent

MADALUM, Lanao del Sur -- Thousands of heirs of the Ampaso, Saumay, Umping and Diwat (AMSUDA) clan gathered on Sunday, February 24, at Sarustan Gym, in Barangay Poblacion, here, to attend the first ever grand reunion of the family members.

Usman Tantao Sarangani, Sr., Sultan of Uya-an and the Paramount Sultan of Mindanao led the clan who were originally coming from the different towns Lanao del Sur. These family members are descendants of the four mentioned datus who ‘first inhabited’ the Lake Uya-an for the purpose of knowing one another.

“In my capacity as the reigning Sultan of Uya-an and Paramount Sultan of Mindanao, it’s my traditional duty and moral obligation to our people to help them and realize their concensus by way of holding a reunion here,” Sarangani said.

The reunion was originally planned to be held in Uya-an but due to the El Niño problem where the Lake Uya-an ‘have dried up abruptly’ and the sources of potable water drained causing the lack of water in Uya-an.

The Lake Uya-an, where the first four Sultanates of Uya-an inhabited, is located in the upper part of Madamba town in Lanao del Sur. Decades after the first four sultans were gone, Sarangani, who was enthroned in 1997 as the 12th Sultan of Uyu-an, led the whole clan took over the moral obligations and traditional duties to realize the whole clan’s concensus.

“Our clan remained united because the four Datus agreed before that the Lake Uya-an should not be divided to any group because that is their commonal properties,” Sarangani said.

At present, the AMSUDA clans have more than 10,000 members all over the Philippines but most of their family members are in Lanao del Sur. As Sultan of Uya-an, Sarangani stressed that the present leadership he showed to the whole clan has been so effective especially in resolving conflict.

The sultan could also have a command votes to the clan.

“A sultan is effective if the people will listen and their problem is solved,” Sarangani said.

“I have announced that anyone who will succeed me, who has the capability to succeed me, I am willing to be replaced but no one until now thought of replacing me as Sultan of Uya-an,” he added.

In a Muslim community, a sultan is a respectable person, even more than the barangay or municipal officials, because they are also effective in resolving rido or family conflict.

During the clan’s grand reunion, the set of officers were selected and they are as follows:

President: HRH Usman Tantao Sarangani, Sr. Sultan of the Royal House of Uya-an Paramount Sultan of Mindanao “Ampaso Clan” 1st Vice President: Sultan Alim Zainoden “Abu Hanie” Salindawan Sultan a Waris “Saumay Clan” 2nd Vice President: Sultan Hadji Acmad Amol Mindalano Sultan a Gaos a Romapunut “Umping Clan” 3rd Vice President: Sultan Abduljabbar M.
