New COPC officers’ induction slated today Bukidnon folks file plaint against soldiers at CHR By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Members of a tribal community in Bukidnon went to the regional office of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR-10) here to lodge their complaint against some soldiers who have allegedly harassed them.

According to the complaint filed by the “lumad” (indigenous people) at the CHR-10, soldiers from the Phil. Army’s 8th and 88th infantry battalions were allegedly responsible for committing the harassment in their village in Musuan, Maramag town, Bukidnon last month. Members of the peasant

group Buffalo-TamarawLimus (BTL) alleged that soldiers from said Army units went to their village and made their presence felt and even accused them of being New People’s Army (NPA) supporters. A BTL member, Ronilo Menente, told reporters that the soldiers were See plaint, page 11

LTFRB-10 impounds 5 colorum passenger vans By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City-The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) here in Northern Mindanao is intensifying its crackdown against colorum vehicles or those which do not have the license to ferry individual

passengers for a fee. Five vans from Davao City, with separate owners each, have already been impounded at the LTFRB regional office in Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City since February for plying unlawfully. Along this line, LTFRB 10 See impounds, page 11

More NPAs surrender to government: Duterte

PRESIDENT Rodrigo R. Duterte on Wednesday, March 7, lauded the joint efforts of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the Philippine National Police (PNP), and the local government units for the increasing number of surrenderees from the New People’s Army (NPA). “At no ot her time are the NPAs surrendering with their firearms. It is taboo to them here See NPA, page 5

TIGER GRASS. An Obo Manobo carries his harvest of “tahiti” (Tiger Grass) used to produce walis tambo, locally known as walis paypay in Magpet, North Cotabato. Tiger grass is grown for a year before it can be harvested. It takes around 45 minutes to make a broom. Many of the Obo Manobo rely on broom-making for livelihood. They sell the brooms at 100 pesos for a set of three. On the background is the Tausavan Falls, accessible via a 15-minute drive on paved road from the town of Magpet. Photo by Jules Benitez

New batch of Tagumenyos under STAND Program certified drug-free By Tagum City Information Office

TAGUM CITY—The graduation for the second batch of Seryosong Tagumenyos Ayaw Nang Droga (STAND)

program commenced last March 3, 2018 at the New City Hall Atrium, unleashing a new chapter in the

lives of the newest batch of Tagumenyos certified by a multi-agency council as drug-free. STAND launched in July

2016 is the banner program of the LGU to fight drug problems in the city and is a brainchild project of Mayor Allan L. Rellon.

186 TADs or Tagumenyo Ayaw ng Droga (an endearment for the surrenderees) attended the emotional graduation. They were accompanied by their family and friends to support their successful completion of the said program. A surprise drug test was conducted prior to the graduation proper. Urine samples were collected and examined through the help of the City Health Office with the assistance of the Department of Health. Mr. Clodito Canada, the Provincial Officer of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) of Davao del Norte, jokingly remarked that they will be out of jobs if more drug dependents voluntarily surrender themselves. “It’s really an opportunity for them na iprove sa ilang sarili na dili na sila mubalik sa paggamit ug pagbaligya sa illegal na droga (It’s really an opportunity for themselves to prove that they can stop using and selling illegal drugs)…It would help not only themselves and their families but the law enforcement as well.”

He added that by not using and selling drugs, the demand decreases which also minimizes the supply. Mr. Louie Selario, one of the directors of STAND appealed to the graduates to instil the values he taught them for their families and for self-improvement. Likewise, Mayor Allan L. Rellon urged those who are still reluctant to surrender to think about their family and themselves. “Diri ta sa gobyerno kay walay laing tumong ug tinguha ang atong gobyerno kundi alang sa inyong kapakanan…” (Trust the government because its goal and desire is to protect your welfare) Graduates of STAND program can expect employment referral/facilitation, access to livelihood grants, education scholarship/subsidy, access to skills trainings, and reintegration to society. As of this date, there are 742 TADs for the third batch undergoing the different interventions of the STAND program. They are expected to graduate by the end of April. Ziyarah Manalo/CIO Tagum

One hell of a ride, but heaven on the inside

WITH a heart, allow me to share my thoughts as I assume the leadership of the oldest, and one of the most vibrant press clubs in the country today. For the record, COPC was organized in 1951, while the National Press Club in Manila was established in 1952. COPC is therefore one year older than the NPC. COPC is now 67 years old. COPC has once again reaffirmed its bold spirit that has triumphed over the years in the exercise of its noble mission—that of upholding press freedom as purveyor of truth, justice and peace in this era of change. The road for all of us, press club members, and the rest of the media community is rocky and bumpy, yet fulfilling as it were. Exhausted, yet at the

end of the day, we still find ourselves humbled as members of the Fourth Estate. Our journey is indeed one hell of a ride, but heaven on the inside. Our day is always long and weary, but we have picked ourselves up, we have waged war way back, and we know pretty well, deep in our hearts, that we have done something good – and that is to inform, educate, motivate and empower the general public. We have pounded the pavement and picked up the pieces that made our voices heard in all corners -- far and wide. We have battled fiercely in the exercise of our noble task, because we cherished to be free at all times, any time. We acknowledged the

awesome dynamics of COPC politics -- small, yet silly. It provided plenty of fodder to tell not only for the cynics but for all of us to mirror and ponder with -- that COPC politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests. But that is what press club politics can be. That is why election matters. It is not small, it is big. It is important. Democracy can be noisy and messy and complicated yet astoundingly enigmatic. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply held beliefs. And as we go through tough times, we make decisions that stir passion, sparks controversy. These arguments are mark of our liberty, our freedom of speech. Despite

COMMENTARY:

Ruffy Magbanua

all our differences, most of us share the same aspirations – a free society where freedom of the press is highly regarded and respected. Our press club is moving forward with confidence beyond this time of uncertainty --to help shape lasting peace and justice to all by upholding the truth built on the promise of freedom, dignity and respect for all of us. We believe in free speech, we see life beyond with so much expectations because we have a noble task to fulfill. That is where we need to go – moving forward See ride, page 11

Our problem is not just Duterte but the weakling opposition

GENERAL Santos City--When Senator Salipada Pendatun attacked former President Marcos in a bombastic speech, Marcos rushed to Manila from Mindanao to immediately initiate damage-control measures to cushion the public impact of Pendatun’s tirades. Whenever Ninoy Aquino, Jose Diokno, Lorenzo Tanada, Jovy Salonga, Raul Manglapus opened their mouths, Marcos trembled. Pre s i d e nt R o d r i go Duterte’s fortune is that we do not have this kind of opposition today. Vice President Leni Robredo and Senators Franklin Drilon and Risa Hontiveros are actually good speakers and are also well educated and achievers academically. But their language is too soft enough so as to create a public impact and stir the multitudes. Risa and Leni do not fight

hard enough. Their stunning looks on TV are now losing their magnetic appeal because of their tamed and meek language. Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman’s personality does not fit the boobtube politics. Seantor Sonny Trillanes is too politically amateur for Digong. Human rights lawyer and former Senator Rene Saguisag is too sickly for Digong. Joker (former Senator Joker Arroyo) is dead. Miriam (former Senator Miriam DefensorSantiago), if still alive, may be supporting Digong by now. Former Senate President Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel Jr. has been subdued by his aspirations for federalism and has been silenced. Former Rep. Walden Bello has lost his platform, and now with unlikely allies. Representatives Gary

Alejano and Tom Villarin are political props unable to capture public imagination. Senator Bam Aquino has inherited only the physical aura of Ninoy. Senators Panfilo Lacson and Richard Gordon have their own Pandora closets. Senate President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel is not his father. Bayan has lost its credibility. Akbayan has shattered its social base, and cannot fight. The labor movement is gasping for breath. Former President Benigno Simeon Aquino III) is silent. HIs sister, Kris, is now struggling to be in the limelight. The Supreme Court is more submissive now than the Supreme Court during the time of Marcos. We have foolish and

shameless members of Congress who are willing to give in to all that Digong wants. The progressive forces are mere clanging cymbals and cannot be trusted for actual battles. Human rights groups are fighting in the comforts of conference halls. The opposition cannot sway the multitudes and stir the hearts of people. So Digong can say everything, true or false, because he knows that he has no effective fiscalizers. Thus, he can just say anything in wild abandon. I will just wait for Bimby*. *Bimby is Kris Aquino’s 10-year old son. [MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews.

Think A Minute

The juggler

THINK a minute. There was a young man who moved from his home in Italy to live in America. He studied juggling and soon became famous all over the world. Later in his life, after years of success as a juggler and performer, he decided to return home to Italy and retire. He sold almost everything he owned and bought a big, expensive diamond. Then he boarded the ship for his home in Italy. One day he was showing a boy on the ship how he could juggle several apples at one time. Soon a crowd of the passengers gathered around to watch. Then the old juggler got more and more carried away with himself, wanting to

impress the crowd. He ran to his room and got his precious diamond. He showed it to the people and explained how the diamond represented his whole life’s work and savings. Then, to the people’s shock and amazement, he started juggling the diamond! At first, he was careful; but each time he threw the diamond higher and higher. Finally, he told his audience that he would throw the diamond one last time so high that it would disappear for a few seconds. The people begged the old man not to do it, but he wouldn’t listen. So with the confidence of all his years of experience, the juggler threw the diamond so high into the air that it actually did disappear, before it started

falling back down, shining and sparkling in the sunlight. Then, just as he was about to catch the diamond, a huge wave suddenly caused the ship to move and lurch forward, causing the juggler not to catch his diamond, which fell into the ocean and sunk, lost forever. What a sad story. To risk and lose everything you own and have worked for all your life. Yet some of us are just like that juggler. We’re very confident in our own strengths and abilities. We want to be in control and live life our own way, even though our Maker has clearly shown us that the only way to really live successfully is His way. The only way to stay satisfied and safe is the way Jesus Christ showed us. Yet,

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

we keep juggling with our own priceless life just one more day. But we never know when our life will suddenly end—and we will have lost our eternal life and suffer forever. Friend, for your own sake and happiness, why not ask Jesus to forgive you for all your wrongs and living your own way? Then ask Him to give you His power so you can start changing to live His way every day of your life—before it’s too late. Just Think a Minute.

and in Mindanao, everywhere, na ‘pag nag-surrender ka tapos ibigay mo ‘yung armas mo sa sundalo o sa pulis, so talagang hahuntingin ka because that is anathema, a taboo. Talagang yayariin ka,” President Duterte said in his meeting with the local chief executives of Luzon at the Royce Hotel here. “So mabuti na lang, marami na ang nag-surrender and… Also, I’d like to congratulate the Armed

Forces and everybody, ‘yung mga mayors pati pulis, they are active in convincing people,” he said. The President said he has reached out to NPA founding chairman Jose Maria Sison but in the end, there was a stalemate in the talks because Sison wanted a coalition government, which the government cannot give. “So ‘yan ang sitwasyon doon. So there is an impasse. I don’t know who would blink first but definitely it would not be government,” Duterte said. The President said that

with more rebels surrendering to government, he hopes that the Armed Forces can quash the rebel group soon. “We are trying to really go out and just embrace them as brothers and at no other time, maraming armas. If they become decimated by the number of surrenderees, maybe the Armed Forces can finish them off next year at mawala na ‘to,” Duterte said. Duterte said rebel surrenderees are given housing and livelihood opportunities. “We are about to com-

THE IMPORTANCE OF LOCALIZATION AND CONTEXTUALIZATION OF INSTRUCTION By RIZA P. AMANDURON T-3 Menongan E/s Quezon II Distric

Localization and contextualization are two of the current trends in Philippine educational system. Localization refers to the process of relating curriculum to instructional contents that reflect local conditions, situations, activities and environment. On the other hand, contextualization involves putting knowledge and instruction in context by presenting lessons in a meaningful, realistic and life related approach. Localization and contextualization are highly relevant and in con-

junction with each other. Both of these attempt to make the teaching-learning process more familiar, practical, relevant and comprehensible for the learners. The concepts of localization and contextualization are based on the principle that learning through reallife experiences is the most ideal type of learning. Lessons that integrate meanings relevant to in real life are more comprehensible for learners. Lessons that are relevant to the daily activities and experiences of students are more meaningful, understandable and effective. Learning by doing, manipulative learning and applied learning are

some of the strategies that highlight the localization and contextualization of instruction. Certainly, when learners are placed in localized and contextualized teaching-learning activities, more effective and beneficial learning takes place.Instructional materials and teaching-learning resources can be also localized and contextualized to adapt instructions based on the principles of environment, culture and resources present in the local community. Through this, the education process becomes more profound, realistic, customized and meaningful for the learners.

plete many -- sa Davao City may 1,000 ako; in Tagum about mga 700 plus. Then Surigao and in Zamboanga. Dito naman sa Bulacan, meron rin ako marami nang natapos... Then I inaugurated the other day sa Marawi at iba pa and those are for the soldiers. But at the same time, mabilis din kaming gumagawa. But some businessmen who want to donate, gusto nila individual,” Duterte said. “Si Inday, ‘yung anak ko na Mayor ng Davao, sabi ko, ’Day, iyo ‘yung mga sa NPAs’. I hope we can have it the momentum here. Tutal anyway, ang gagastos naman niyan karamihan is government,” Duterte said. “It’s a matter of ‘yung program of how to talk to them sincerely and if they want to surrender, meron silang bahay then we can give them money in the meantime may transition sila,” he added. As for livelihood, Durerte said rebel returnees will be trained by TESDA, noting

that the country is in need of more skilled workers. “Mind you, there are constructions in Manila, Davao, Cebu, which have temporarily stopped because of the absence of skilled workers,” he said. “So they would need some kind of a master carpentry, master plumber. ‘Yan ang gusto kong makiusap sa inyo. If you have that kind of program of pacification, let me know,” he added. With regard to fighting corruption, the President said it is one of his campaign pledges and he remains committed to ending abuses and

5

misdeeds in the bureaucracy. Fending off corruption accusations, he stressed he has never entertained any transaction or deals and lets his Cabinet secretaries handle those transactions at their level. “Best ways, maski sinong tanungin ninyo, any -- doon sa clerk who started to type the endorsement and everything, no transaction ‘yung MRT, PAGCOR o ano that ever reaches my table. ‘Yung MRT ni Tugade o ‘yung eroplano ni Tugade, ‘yung MRT niya, wala akong pakialam diyan and all,” he said.

Aboitiz eyes P148-B upgrade of 4 reg’l airports By Leslie Gatpolintan

MANILA -- Aboitiz InfraC apital, the infrastructure business unit of the Aboitiz Group, on Wednesday submitted an unsolicited proposal to modernize four regional airports for PHP148 billion over a 35-year concession period, in its bid to support the government’s infrastructure program. The company aims to transform the Iloilo International Airport, BacolodSilay Airport, Laguindingan Airport and New Bohol International Airport in Panglao into world-class airports. The first three are already operating above capacity and require urgent rehabilitation. These regional airports have been experiencing tremendous growth in the last few years and struggled to follow the pace of development. The Bohol airport is targeted to open the island further to the international tourism market as part of the national tourism strat-

egy and at the same time decongest Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport. “Through this unsolicited proposal, we intend to support the government’s ‘Build, Build, Build’ program as we develop sustainable airport facilities that reflect and support the tremendous economic and tourism potential of the Philippines’ regions and provinces,” Aboitiz InfraCapital Chief Executive Officer and President Sabin Aboitiz said in a statement to the local bourse. Aboitiz said the pooling of resources to develop, operate and maintain all four airports is required in order to unlock synergies that would benefit all stakeholders, including the government. “Not only will none of the airports require any form of subsidy, the combined potential of the four regional gateways results in overall gains for both the government and the local economy,” he said.

PTV-Davao to pilot broadcast info system for disaster warnings DAVAO CITY -- The stateowned People’s Television or PTV in Davao is going digital from the analogtype of broadcast transmission, coinciding with the inclusion of the Emergency Warning Broadcast System (EWBS) and Data-casting System. This was announced by PTV General Manager Dino Antonio Apolonio during the demonstration of the EWBS and the Data-casting System at the Marco Polo Hotel in Davao City on Wednesday. Apolonio said PT V Davao has reached a milestone not only in adopting the EWBS and Data-Casting System, but also for jumpstarting its test broadcast using the digital telecommunication transmission. The EWBS and DataCasting Sytem project is a

partnership undertaking of the government’s communication arm with Japan’s NEC and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. Apolonio said the transition of PTV from analog to digital brings advantage to EWBS and Data-Casting, two Japanese technology that will boost real-time reporting of an impending emergency or disaster. EWBS is a remote activation system for radio and TV while data-casting is a system of updates on weather, movement of storms, floods, landslides, traffic, and gridlock road conditions. Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar earlier lauded the project as it will boost realtime reporting on disaster and emergencies.

Agencies launch info drive on Army soldier hurt protecting Davao’s rich wildlife in clash with NPA

DAVAO CITY -- The Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF), the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR XI), other government and private organizations have embarked on a series of campaign activities on understanding and protecting the Davao Region’s wildlife. The activity is in line with the UN Wildlife Week held from Marh 3 to 9. PEF director for research and conservation Jason Ibanez said the advocacy is an alternative activity for the youth to keep them away from the gadget-base lifestyle. “We have evidence that too much exposure to gadgets are

stressful to children so we are trying to offer an alternative as they may not know that they can also do it,” he said. He said the children forget to exercise their senses by interacting with nature. Ibanez said there are at least 370 species of birds found only in the Davao Region and out of this number, 116 are endemic in the Philippines. He said Davao City has a rich wildlife that even the smallest parrot in the world can only be found here named Parrakeet and the Guiabero Parrot particularly in the forest near Las Terrazas. Contrary to some people who think Davao City has few bird

species, Ibanez further said the Silvery Kingfisher can be seen at the PEF center in Malagos, Calinan. There are unique wildlife species in the Davao Region like the kind of rodent found at the Bonsai Forest of Mt. Hamiguitan discovered in 2008 by a group of biologists both Filipinos and Americans led by a team from the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, USA. Also found in the mountain are 10 species of pitcher plants that could only be seen in the bonsai forest, he said. “I think these are interesting See launch, page 11

DAVAO CITY -- A soldier of the Army’s 102nd Division Recon Company (DRC) was wounded in an encounter with more or less 50 members of the communist New People’s Army (NPA) at the vicinity of Sitio Gurem, Barangay Sibulan, Sta Cruz, Davao del Sur on Monday. But after the encounter, the troops were also able to recover an improvised explosive device (IED) with a detonating cord, one backpack and subversive documents with high intelligence value. Capt. Jerry Lamosao, spokesperson for 10th Infantry Division,

said the encounter transpired around 12:12 p.m between the 102nd DRC and the NPA. Lamosao said the troops responded to information from a concerned citizen that a group of NPA members were consolidating at Sitio Gurem and were planning to conduct atrocities for their upcoming anniversary on March 29. “With the on-going focus military operation, the troops were alerted for the combat operation,” he said. Lamosao said the troops sighted the presence of the armed NPA See clash, page 11

Profits of a Healthy Lifestyle By Nilo B. Lagad, Teacher-II South Dalurong Integrated School Kitaotao,Bukidnon

Lifestyle should be a way of living, and not just a temporary fix for a cold or to negate a gluttonous weekend. Once you get into the habit of maintaining a healthy routine, you will be able to see, feel, and experience the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. There are significant and long lasting benefits in improving the way you live to ensure that you live a healthy and long life. The benefits of a healthy lifestyle can be broken down into two parts: the benefits of an active lifestyle and the benefits of eating well. Let’s take a look at both of these to give you some insight and incentive into changing the way you live.

INTEGRATION OF MULTIMEDIA UTILIZATION IN MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTION By KATHERINE B. COSEP T-I Menongan E/S Quezon -II District

Integration of multimedia utilization in education is based on the need and challenge of addressing the multiple teaching-learning problems in school. Multimedia belong the list of instructional and educational technology that serve as teaching-learning aid and supplementary resources for modern day students. In different areas like Mathematics, teachers believe that inclusion and application of multimedia for instructional purposes is a great benefit and advantage in mainstream education. Amidst various learning difficulties and deficits of learners in Mathematics, utilization of multimedia is one of the preffered interventions applied by teachers in response to these mathematical academic problems.Multimedia is

highlighted by the presentation of materials utilizing pictures and words. It is a combination of audiovisual elements in a single application. These elements include text, data, graphics, animation, sound, video and pictures. Currently, Mathematics teachers have been embracing the intensive utilization of multimedia in teaching multiple and wide range of instructional concepts in this subject. Concept development and mastery of learning competencies in Mathematics can be aided and supported by the teachers’ utilization of multimedia teachinglearning resources. The use of instructional technology in Mathematics instruction provides an array of benefits including increased levels of motivation, learning interest among students, innovative approach in teaching and more engaging instructional activities.

Communications Secretary Martin Andanar discusses the need for a reliable disaster warning broadcast system for PTV-4 in Davao City on March 7, 2018. Hashimoto Osamu of NEC said EWBS is a remote activation for radio and television that transmits alert or warning information to viewers and listeners about an impending disaster. EWBS is a feature of the Integrated Services Digital Broadcast-Terrestrial (ISDB-T) system, which was initially created by Japan. The ISDB-T standard has been adopted by more than 15 countries. During NEC’s demonstration of the disaster information system at Marco Polo Hotel, Osamu said the network is now a promotional project conducted by PTV and Radyo Pilipinas. It is aimed at mitigitating disaster risks on communities using the digital terrestrial service. Osamu said warnings and information of weather disturbances can be received by people anytime and anywhere in 10 minutes before a disaster hits an area. In Davao, for example, Central 911 will issue the warning and will then be transmitted to the television network carrying the EWBS. NEC will hold training sessions on EWBS for PTV and Radyo Pilipinas personnel on March 8 and 9. Meanwhile, PTV will also expand its regional stations in the Philippines. According to Alex Paredes of PTV, the expansion will be implemented in key areas in Mindanao. “We are looking at our TV stations and affiliates. Discussions with several applicants are ongoing,” he said. PTV, Paredes said has also been granted by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) with higher channels. Increasing its reach to remote areas is also part of its expansion plans of PTV for 2019. “We are embarking on calculated expansion. It’s in the planning stage,” he said. Paredes sees PTV as an all-digital network in 7 to 10 years. (PNA)

and enjoyable things that the youth had overlooked,” he said. “With our advocacy, people may realize that there are species of wildlife that can only be found in the Philippines and we should be proud of it,” he added. Ibanez said this is the reason PEF and other agencies are strengthening their advocacy for the Dabawenyos to be aware of Davao’s wildlife. He said their campaign is ongoing and “we are into consolidation on youth education campaign specifically on wildlife and

we will continue look for avenues for wider reach and stir the youth’s interest in biodiversity and encourage appreciation of our rich and unique wildlife”. This year’s celebration is highlighted by the holding of the quiz bowl, essay writing contest, lectures, an interactive photo exhibit at the SM malls here, Ibanez added. (Digna D. Banzon/ PNA)

asking for the names and whereabouts of their leaders. Ireneo Udarbe, regional chairperson of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas, said it is the right of the affected lumad to file their complaint before the CHR due to the harassment allegedly committed by the military to them. Udarbe said some IPs are forced to “surrender” as they are accused of being Communist rebels by soldiers who are visiting tribal villages in the hinterlands of Bukidnon. But 1Lt. Tere Ingente, spokesperson for the Phil. Army’s 4th Infantry Division, said the 4ID’s human rights desk and the Civil Military Operations (CMO) office is open to any civilian who wants to file a complaint against a certain serviceman. The complaint, she said, will then be forwarded to the concerned unit where that soldier belongs for investigation and proper action. She assured that the Phil. Army is serious in going after erring soldiers in that if the 4ID leadership is not satisfied with the investigation, the Division commander can send an investigator to make further verification. Since she assumed as the 4ID spokesperson early this year, Ingente said they have yet to receive a single complaint. In a previous interview, Ingente however clarified that the soldiers from the 88IB did not make any arrest nor visited civilians in their houses in said area, but that the military just “invited” a handful of individuals to the Battalion’s headquarters in Kitaotao, Bukidnon. She added that those invited were released 36 hours after they were brought in.

Under his presidency, Magbanua has also introduced some changes in the administrative and physical aspects of the Club, including an office makeover and the establishment of the Reporters’ Lounge, among others. The COPC president has also launched the Search for Active Press Club members, the awarding of which will be done during its founding anniversary on Nov. 11, 2018. Members who want to join this contest are encouraged to frequently visit the COPC office and sign the logbook and attend the Club’s major activities such as the anniversary, Press Freedom Week, Christmas party, and general assembly and election. Those with the most number of log-ins have the best chance of winning. A makeover of the physical arrangements of our press club office is underway. A reporter’s lounge is now in place, log books for the members and guest book for the visitors are also in place. Safety and cleanliness of the press club’s premises are strictly observed. To encourage involvement, we have launched for the Search for Most Active Press Club members, awarding will be done during the COPC founding anniversary on November 11, 2018.

Impounds... from page 1

legal counsel Alyssa Nezren Mangata warned erring van operators who continue to ply their colorum units to have their certificates of public convenience, known as franchises in local parlance, of their other units revoked if they continue to defy. “For example, naa kay colorum unit nga among masapnan pero holder ka og legal nga prangkisa nga ang ruta within Davao ra. Maapil gihapon na og karevoke,” Mangata explained. The lawyer went on saying that many operators not just in Davao region but elsewhere here in Mindanao continue to ply unregistered vehicles because they do not want to incur additional responsibilities in maintaining another franchise for another route. “Madalahig g’yud ang inyong ubang ruta ana even though we apprehend and impound just one vehicle,” Mangata said. But Mangata said that all apprehensions made by LTFRB personnel while implementing Joint Administrative Order 2014-01 with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) have to undergo due process. The owners of the impounded vehicles are given five days to answer the complaint then need to appear before the LTFRB either personally or upon a special power of attorney. Once the LTFRB adfrom page 1 judicator proved that the scholarship grants to de- impounded vehicle was serving members and their really plying in a colorum

manner, the vehicle owner will pay the fine of P200,000. If the owner is an existing franchise operator, then the franchise for all of his units, regardless of vehicle design and route, will be revoked. The anti-colorum campaign in LTFRB 10 went only full steam this year because of the six new law enforcement vehicles that they received from their central office. Aside from that, it was only now in 2018 that LTFRB had assigned a permanent hearing officer or adjudicator in the region in the person of Mangata. Mangata said many colorum vans are plying the Cagayan de Oro-Davao route and their owners are usually based in Davao. They are apprehended by LTFRB personnel at the Tablon police checkpoint in Cagayan de Oro City.

from page 4 with great optimism. We disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to get there. It will not be always a straight line. It will not be always a smooth ride. But one thing is surefire – we will make a difference. At this juncture, I want to thank everyone who participated in the February 10 annual general assembly and election of officers. We have valued the occasion with utmost deliverance and respect. In the days ahead, we look forward to sitting down along with the new members of the board and find ways where we can work together to move the press club forward with great enthusiasm. No matter what we do or where we go from here, we will carry the legacy of our senior colleagues that made us stick together – through thick and thin, through good times and bad times. To the press club icons, thank you for believing us all the way, through every mountain, through every ocean. You lifted us up the whole way and we will always be grateful for everything and all the incredible work that you have shared with us. Thank you Msgr Elmer Abacahin, our outgoing president. Thank you Past President Dr. Manny Jaudian for your wisdom, thank you Past President Herbie Gomez for your guidance, PP Bobby Goking, PP Allan Mediante, PP Titots Neri, PP Uriel Quilinguing, PP Vincent Jaudian and the rest of the officers and board of directors who are around and of course, to all the members of the club. That said, I will now lay down our program of work, so to speak. Administratively, I have already issued office orders to our three press club employees detailing among others their specific functions. They are now required to submit weekly accomplishment report and fill out daily time record or the DTR. A monthly audit will be done by our internal auditor to ensure our finances are well spent for the right and

meaningful purpose. A makeover of the physical arrangements of our press club office is underway. A reporter’s lounge is now in place, log books for the members and guest book for the visitors. Safety and cleanliness of the press club’s premises are strictly observed. To encourage involvement, we have launched for the Search for Most Active Press Club members, awarding will be done during the COPC founding anniversary on November 11, 2018. For transparency, the new members of the board has just completed our Strategic Planning and Budgeting for 2018 with the end in view to closely monitor and keep watch our finances as we go through the daily grind of the club, including its four major activities: press freedom week this coming May, the club’s anniversary in November, Christmas celebration in December and the annual assembly and election in February next year. Under my term, no tuliscitation allowed. We will not allow our signatures to be used as instruments of corruption. However, we welcome donations heartily given but with no string attached whatsoever. Our team is mainly focused on the welfare and benefits of COPC members. And for the information of everyone, the board has approved during our second regular board meeting last week, the implementation of an insurance program for all the members of the club. We have enlisted an insurance provider, the CLIMBS life and general insurance cooperative, a home-grown insurance company to provide us with an insurance package with affordable premium. For a minimal amount of P230 annually, a qualified COPC member is insured with an all-in insurance package: Accidental death 100,000; murder and assault, 50,000; cash burial assistance 15,000; hospital confinement 100/ day; and death due to natural causes, 25,000. For the health benefit of the members, we will start issuing Philhealth cards soon. We will also revive the idea of offering scholarships to qualified members and their

11

children who wish to finish their college studies. We are the only press club outside of Metro Manila that owns and operates a building strategically located at the very heart of the city. For a long time, we have not imposed any increase in rentals. To be competitive, we will implement very soon reasonable increase in rental rates for our tenants. The idea is to raise the level of our revenues to meet operating costs and save for the rainy days. These are for the short term. For the long term, I am now appointing Past President Msgr Elmer Abacahin who will sit in the board as ex-officio, to chair the new building committee to continue his plan to search for possible partner to replace the old building to a new modern one. There is another long term project that until now, it remained a dream, or even considered a nightmare for now, and that is the mass housing for the club members. The answer to this project is a whacking challenge to all of us – officers and members of the club. As a starter, I am now appointing Director Nicole Managbanag to chair this special committee on housing. Lastly, I would like to humbly request the good governor, Gov. Bambi to partner with us in securing the Press Freedom Monument located inside the provincial capitol compound. The symbol of press freedom, the monument is a victim of utter neglect and cannibalized for the longest time by aimless, shameless, faceless people. I know the good governor can work with us to re-beautify and further protect the monument by repainting and putting up permanent fence made up of steel bars around the monument. We will open the gate to the public only if there are events to be held in the area. In the fullness of God’s time, we are confident we can deliver what is best for the Club in particular, and the media community of Cagayan de Oro in general. (Editor’s note: Acceptance speech of Ruffy Magbanua, newly-elected president of Cagayan de Oro Press Club)
