THE research group IBON is challenging the succeeding Senate to prove its independence by rejecting the proposal to amend the 1987 Philippine Constitution or Charter change (Cha-cha). Lawmakers should keep in mind the dangers that Chacha poses on Philippine economic sovereignty, said the group, and not be swayed into passing other laws that fulfill the consistent goal of Cha-cha to open the economy to full foreign participation.

DAVAO CITY – Three-term Representative Nancy Alaan Catamco is North Cotabato’s first Lumad Governor.

Catamco defeated veteran politician Rogelio Talino, long-time mayor of Carmen town and father

of incumbent Governor Emmylou Talino-Mendoza, by a margin of 3,531 votes. She got 272,249 votes against

Addressing employees at the Provincial Capitol, she assured them she is not vindictive. “Ako mohatag kaninyo og oportunidad nga mapakita ninyo ang inyong mga abilidad walay pagduha-duha alang sa kaayohan sa katawhan nga atong gisaaran nga alagaran” (I will give you the chance to show your abilities for the sake of the people we vowed to serve), she said.

Policymakers need to revisit and rethink the scope of power of the Department of the Information and Communications Technology (DICT), according to a study of state think Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS). Established in 2015, the DICT is a government agency tasked to develop policies and plans for ICT development in the country. It exercises broad powers over telecommunications and broadcasting, data privacy, consumer protection, and the promotion of trade and investment in ICT and ICT-enabled services (ICTES). Among its attached agencies are the National Telecommunications Commission, the National Privacy Commission, and the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordination Center. According to PIDS consultant Lai-Lynn Barcenas in her policy note titled ‘’ICT Regulation and Regulatory Authority”, the law establishing the DICT has “insufficient guidance on the scope of the agency’s authority’’. Barcenas noted that some of the functions of the DICT overlap or are incompatible with those of other departments. For instance, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) still governs the promotion of trade and investments on e-commerce, the improvement of ICT skills of the labor force, and network security and connectivity. The DICT has absorbed some of the functions of the Postal Regulation Division,

Rufus: Alam Lim’s nightmare THE wide margin of votes said it all: Alam Lim, a political novice openly endorsed by no less President Duterte was no match running against Rufus Rodriguez, a doyen and stage veteran in the halls of Congress. Notwithstanding Alam Lim’s unlimited resources, the overwhelming fire of support of Cagay-anons had flickered constantly on the side of comebacking Rufus who suffered dismal defeat against the well-entrenched Oscar Moreno in his mayoral bid in 2016 national elections. Lest I can be misconstrued, my warm openness and kind words to Rufus has nothing to do with politics, nor the old friendship, or the stories I had prepared for him during his early days as the emerging Cagayan de Oro leader, or my intimate association I have had with the Rodriguez’ family.

I speak from the heart as a taxpayer and a law abiding citizen who have long embraced this city as my second home. During his stint in Congress, Rufus has bannered the name Cagayan de Oro and Mindanao for that matter with pride, spontaneity and clarity of purpose. Every time Rufus occupies the lectern, the name Rodriquez takes the front page the next day. There is no debate therefore that Rufus, long regarded as media darling, has been – and will always be -- a good copy for both the local and national press, the international media included. With due respect to the previous house representatives that we have had, Rufus has outshined them all – in terms of eloquence, relevance and pro-active leadership, to the many significant house bills spon-

sored and authored, and to the billions of peso worth of infrastructure projects implemented in the city. To some, Rufus may not be the perfect ideal of a leader, but if we have to weigh-in closely , Rufus has got the sterling edge -- brain and heart combined, and the needed stamina to work 24/7. There is no denying the fact that in this era of global competitiveness, Cagayan de Oro has no reason to remain status quo. The city has to take the road most travelled if it has to catch up with other booming cities like Davao and Cebu. To realize this journey, we need a dynamic leader with nothing in mind but a clear vision and political will to leapfrog Cagayan de Oro into becoming a metropolitan city livable to all – rich or poor. Rufus has still that fer-

Ruffy Magbanua

vor shining high on him to serve this city with utmost dedication, sincerity and transparency under its HEED agenda: Health, Education, Employment and Dwelling As envisioned, his program of government for the city will eventually lead to a sustainable and inclusive growth down to the grassroots. With the re-entry of Rufus in the halls of Congress, expect his firepower to make ripples, for and in behalf of his constituents – the people of Cagayan de Oro in particular, and Mindanao in general.

Think A Minute

Read the signs

THINK a minute. Years ago on the night of 14 April, the ship named Californian had come within 1500 miles of its destination of Boston Harbor in the U.S. It was midnight and Second Officer Herbert Stone reported for his watch. He found his apprentice looking through binoculars at another ship in the dark distance. He could see some lights, so Stone told the apprentice to try to communicate using the Morse Code light. But the other ship did not answer. Then five more white flashes came from the other ship, followed by another four white flashes, so Stone called his captain. The captain ordered more light

signals to be sent, but still no answer came. They noticed the other ship’s cabin lights were disappearing, so it appeared to be sailing away. At 1:40 AM Stone saw the eighth and last white flash in the night sky. It was not until 4 AM that they learned the truth about the other ship. Second Officer Stone and his captain had not understood that the lights and flashes from the other ship were alarm signals. That night of 14 April, the Californian had stopped in the middle of the ocean since there was a dangerous field of ice in the water. It was while they were stopped and waiting that they saw the lights from the other ship in the distance.

TURNING POINT NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental--He is irreverent and vulgar. You don’t want your young kids to go near him or risk being infected by the filth that he spews. No matter, we have a ver y popular president whose vulgar charisma enables him to do anything he wants. Good or bad, right or wrong, for the many he is always good and is always right. It is amazing. Moreover, President Duterte has magic. When he says the word, things happen. The President has spoken. Amen, said the people. Game over. We will get what we deserve. Very soon, we

The other ship had sent those light flares as distress signals, and the Californian that was only nine miles away would have rushed to help save it except for one thing. The other ship had been sending distress signals both by lights and radio, but the Californian’s new young radio operator was sleeping. So that night, Second Officer Stone and his captain did not know the light flashes were desperate calls for help from the sinking Titanic. Jesus Himself said that by far the greatest tragedy is to watch yourself and the people you love sink into eternity, separated from God and lost forever in the worst pain, evil and agony there is. Jesus’ words! The question

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

is: Will you read and follow the signs to safety? He has made them so clear and easy to understand that we have no excuse. Once and for all, you can ask Him to forgive you for your wrong heart and sinful living? Then ask Him to take full charge and start changing your daily way of life. Jesus said it is the one and only way you can have total security that if your ship goes down tonight, you are fully ready to face your Maker, Judge and Savior. Just think a minute.

By WILLIAM R. ADAN, MindaNews

Game over

will be there. ++++++++++++++ The truth in Philippine elections escapes many politicians. That is, even if you have a lot of money but don’t belong to a party with a well-established and maintained political machinery that operates up and down to the grassroots, your chance of winning is pitch dark, unless you are a popular actor or has done something spectacular. The truth is more evident at the local level where most candidates are engaged in vote-buying. Those with long groomed leaders and runners at the barangay to the purok level often win. ++++++++++++++

It is foolish to expect dif ferent resu lts f rom the same people who go through the same old ways and system of doing things. If we want different results we either change the people or the entire system of doing things. It appears that changing the people to improve their plight, is an uphill struggle; then it might be convenient and easier to change the system to change the people for good. We have been under a democracy for over half a century. Our democracy, however, has been warped and punctured by a value system that glorifies and ennobles autocracy, plutocracy and indecency,

thus the democratic system stalls and is getting us nowhere. It looks like the system fails us in choosing our leaders and in imposing social discipline. It seems democracy as a system of governance is not fit for us. Will our nation thrive better in an authoritarian rule? Whatever, the verdict of the people in the last two succeeding national elections favours it. A new ballgame may soon play. (MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews. William R.

DMCI infra revenues up 74% in Q1 MANILA -- Premier construction firm DM Consunji, Inc. (DMCI) saw its revenues from infrastructure projects surge 74 percent from PHP883 million to more than PHP1.5 billion during the first quarter of the year. In a statement issued on Sunday, DMCI said its ongoing infrastructure projects include the Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 (SS3), the SS3 Nagtahan Ramp, LRT (Light Rail Transit) Line 2 East Extension Project (Viaduct and Stations), TPLEX (Tarlac-PangasinanLa Union Expressway) Bued, and the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAEx). In February, the Department of Transportation also awarded the consortium of DMCI and Marubeni Corp. the PHP3.2-billion contract to install the track works and electromechanical system (EMS) of the LRT-2 east extension. “Hopefully, the LRT-2 EMS contract is just the start of more infrastructure

projects for DMCI. We want to focus on helping the government implement its ‘Build, Build, Build’ program,” said Jorge Consunji, DMCI president and chief executive officer. DMCI Holdings chairman and president, Isidro Consunji, told reporters on Thursday that they target to complete the EMS of LRT-2 east extension by the fourth quarter next year. From January to March, DMCI recorded a 36-percent drop in revenues from building contracts. From PHP1.7 billion, building revenues slipped to PHP1.1 billion as most of the projects are near completion. Revenues from energy projects expanded 202 percent to PHP602 million, while revenues from plant and utilities projects improved 29 percent to PHP404 million.

NEDA pushes for speedy release of rice fund By LESLIE GATPOLINTAN

The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) is urging the administration's leadership to immediately release the PHP10-billion Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) that aims to help modernize and boost the productivity of rice farmers. “It should be released hopefully early third quarter or earlier so needed certified seeds and machinery can be provided in time for the wet season or if not this season, the dry season,” NEDA Assistant Secretary Mercedita Sombilla said in a mobile phone message to the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Monday. NEDA Undersecretary Rosemarie Edillon said the RCEF needs to be released “fast” to make support readily available to farmers since it is part of the mitigating

Go dispels rumors on PRRD’s hospitalization with photos M

By AZER PARROCHA

ANILA -- To dispel rumors on President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s alleged hospitalization, former Special Assistant to the President (SAP) Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go shared photos of himself sharing a meal with the Chief Executive. Go said the photos were taken at the Bahay ng Pagbabago, formerly called Bahay Pangarap, the President’s residence in Malacañan Palace. Hi s p h ot o s s h ow Duterte reading newspapers dated Sunday, May 19 and sharing what appeared to be “palabok” and a sandwich. Earlier, rumors that the President was rushed to the Cardinal Santos Medical Center in San Juan surfaced on social media following the President’s week-long absence from

public eye. The President was last seen casting his vote at the Daniel R. Aguinaldo National High School in Davao City during the May 13 mid-term elections. Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea was among the first Cabinet members to deny the President’s rumored hospitalization, saying he was probably just “resting.” Presidential Security Group (PSG) spokesperson, Capt. Zeerah Blanche Lucrecia, also debunked the rumors, assuring that the President is “well and good”. She, however, did not reveal his whereabouts. Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo likewise denied that the President was confined, saying he was in his residence signing papers. Duterte usually spends

Starting the new school year right By JORENDA P. SOLITARIO Master Teacher I Pulot National High School Pulot, Ozamiz City

IT’s important to start out with enthusiasm and a positive attitude especially if you’ve been doing this for a long time. As well as being intrepid, always live with the 3Es – energy, enthusiasm and empathy. You will develop knowing that hard work has no substitute and complaining is for the lazy. Be a savvy teacher. You can choose to read more inspiring books on

successful teachers. All of them are perfect ingredients for growth. Parents of all children start the school year off with anticipation, excitement and possibility a little fear. Many of us are saddened by the fact that children are getting older and will be leaving our nest before we are ready. But despite our feelings about the situation as parents, we

have the responsibility of making it as easy and joyful as possible. As with any new activity or event such as the start of a new school year, preparation is the key. Dioscuss the upcoming school year with your children. All children anticipate the beginning of the new school year, questioning about their new teacher, classroom building and expectations.

Education at our Fingertips MARIE EMERALD A. CABIGAS

The internet has drastically shaped our world nowadays. We can basically be enrolled in a prestigious university and be taught by world renowned professor for free. We now exist in a world where teaching and learning have turned 180 degrees. There was a time teaching is confined in the four walls of the classroom, now learning can be done in the comforts of the home.

technology. We can easily compute grades, rank our students with a few click of the button. Knowledge is not confined anymore to books, journals, or in print but it exists digitally. Information now is not confined to a library or any structure but at our very fingertips. If a teacher from 20 years past could see what we have now they could never imagine the ease and comfort of teaching. Even contacting our students and parents have made easier from letters to text to social media follow up is made easier. With the aid of technology 21st teaching is made easier and accessible.

The Department of Education has been instrumental in helping the teachers reach mastery. To improve our teachers 21st century skills DepEd utilize Learning Action C ell (LAC), technical supervisions,seminars and short courses facilitated by the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO). The teachers themselves can also upgrade their skills throug h online courses like in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) and by simply browsing through search engines. Education have truly transformed through the internet.

Group dares Senate: Stop Charter change

HE research group IBON is challenging the succeeding Senate to prove its independence by rejecting the proposal to amend the 1987 Philippine Constitution or Charter change (Cha-cha). Lawmakers should keep in mind the dangers that Chacha poses on Philippine economic sovereignty, said the group, and not be swayed into passing other laws that fulfill the consistent goal of Chacha to open the economy to full foreign participation. In December last year, the Lower House transmitted its approved, consolidated version of proposed constitutional amendments, Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) 15, to the Philippine Senate. Aside from establishing a federal state and removing term limits, Cha-cha would implement neoliberal amendments to the Philippine constitution. IBON said that while

RBH 15 expires on June 30 this year, the Duterte government has sustained its espousal of Cha-cha by organizing an InterAgency Task Force on Federalism and Constitutional Reforms and can easily restart or expedite deliberations under an administration-dominated 18th Congress. Partial unofficial tallies show a majority win for candidates backed by the Duterte administration, IBON noted. An administration win can bring standing Upper House support for Cha-cha to 11 comprised of incoming senators Bong Go, Ronald dela Rosa, Pia Cayetano, Imee Marcos, Francis Tolentino, Sonny Angara, Aquilino Pimentel III, Bong Revilla, plus incumbent senators Vicente Sotto III, Juan Miguel Zubiri, and Manny Pacquiao. IBON stressed that Cha-cha would strike out the nationalist provisions of the constitution and liberalize the economy to

foreign investors. Moreover, said the group, Chacha will limit government’s role in protecting the Philippine economy and allow foreign ownership of natural resources, educational institutions, mass media and advertising, public utilities, and strategic enterprises. The proposed amendments also remove pertinent provisions affecting Philippine employment opportunities, labor rights, and access to basic social services. Cha-cha would remove provisions on using the preferential use of Filipino labor and limiting professions to Filipinos, noted IBON. This will worsen the country’s jobs crisis. For instance, more Filipinos go abroad for work than new jobs are created locally. In the first semester of 2018, the

average number of Filipinos who went abroad for work daily was 5,757, while only 2,263 new jobs were created on average per day during the same period, said IBON. The group added that important stipulations on labor rights such as security of tenure, humane conditions of work, and a living wage, are deleted in the proposed Cha-cha. Already, IBON observed, 2018 data shows that 8.5 million workers of private companies and 985,000 workers in government agencies are still non-regular workers. Meanwhile, the Family Living Wage (FLW) as of March 2019 is at Php1,004 for a family of five compared to which the National Capital Region’s (NCR) minimum wage of Php537 falls short. The proposed Cha-cha

also narrows government’s role in providing basic social services such as health development and affordable housing by adhering to the neoliberal policy of privatization, IBON said. The group further warned that proposals to open public utilities to full foreign ownership such as proposed amendments to the Public Services Act (PSA), and to increase areas that are open to foreign investments such as through revisions to the foreign investments negative list (FINL), are in the works and ground breaking the eventual neoliberalization of the highest law of the land. IBON said that legislative amendments such as these are being prioritized by government and will serve the same purpose of opening

Nationalists and people’s rights defenders among the country’s lawmakers, if there are any left standing, should be vigilant against these moves. IBON pointed out that the midterm elections are fast concluding with incredible results that will be favorable to the Duterte administration’s neoliberal legislative agenda. The Filipino people have reason to doubt that the passage of Cha-cha and other laws surrendering national patrimony will not be as ‘magical’ as the election results, IBON added. This will be so unless nationalists and people’s rights advocates shall continue to challenge the Philippine legislature. Source: Ibon.org

Gingoog day care center gears for excellence in disasters GINGOOG CITY, Misamis Oriental – Early Learning Center (ELC) of Barangay 18 in Gingoog City proactively aligned its operations making it compliant with the provisions of Republic Act 10121 or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act (DRRM Act), touted as a landmark legislation for DRRM in the country. The learning center has been a recipient to the Gawad Kalasag award, the country’s premier annual awards for excellent contribution in DRRM and humanitarian assistance. For this year, it qualifies to be a hall of fame awardee for the Gawad Kalasag’s ELC category. According to Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Region 10 Director Rosauro Arnel Gonzales Jr, through the Gawad Kalasag, the regional and national DRRM councils recognize programs, activities, and projects that protect high-risk communities against hazards and provide more capabilities in addressing vulnerabilities and coping from disasters. Child Development Worker (CDW) Helen Tagupa said establishing an ELC that nurtures the holistic development of the child in a safe environment, the Barangay 18 constructed its learning center in an 882 sq.m. area (with the learning area comprising 504 sq.m.) and fenced with a non-climable barrier. The learning center is accessible to children including children with special needs. The area is

more than the required area for Child Development Centers (CDCs) issued by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). It is free from hazards—busy streets, water hazards, broken glass, and dangerous machinery or tools. Per the standards and guidelines for center-based early childhood programs for zero to four years old Filipino children, Tagupa said the center’s layout encourages both active physical and at the same ensuring the safety of children. The center is also laid out in a manner that whatever the children’s activities, they are visible to child development worker at all times. In addition, certain areas in the center are covered with foam mats to ensure children’s safety, especially during active play. Furniture and shelves are fitted to children’s height. Children can easily reach toys and materials that they may need. Shelves are sturdily built so it won’t topple over so easily. Further, tables, chairs, shelves, storage racks are child-sized. They are sturdy and durable and won’t topple easily. They are easy to clean and disinfected. The center’s play area is filled with lightweight, non-toxic toys and covered with foam mats to ensure safety during free play. The CDW and parent aid have been trained on how to use the fire extinguisher and routinely

participate in various drills such as fire suppression and basic life support. The CDW as well parents and children has a whistle and flashlight attached to their identification to ensure that they have them at all times. The center has also a gated exit to ensure that children will not loiter outside the center premises and at the same time keeps out strangers and unauthorized persons. The center, meanwhile, has been very fortunate to be given by the local government unit of Gingoog City the covered pathway for the children and parents. Water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities The center’s water is supplied by Gingoog’s water district and has a certificate of the water’s potability. Faucets and water containers are routinely washed and scrubbed to avoid molds and dust contaminating water. The toilets are relatively private spaces with low doors that allow adult supervision. They are functional and child-size. The center’s handwashing/ tooth brushing area is equipped with faucets and washing/brushing materials accessible to children and within children’s reach. The area is appropriate to the child’s size to allow proper washing/ brushing habits to develop. To ensure the safety of electrical connections, the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) regularly

inspects the center. Emergency telecoms facilities—has a broadband radio, with fresh batteries, given by the barangay to be used during power outage and emergencies. Security provision Punong Barangay Rogelio Pajaron said the Barangay 18 Council has issued a memorandum to the Barangay Tanods to patrol the perimeter of the center especially during school hours and at night. The center has not only issued identification cards to its enrolled children but to their parents or guardians as well. This is to ensure that the child will be picked up only by the parent, guardian or person designated by the parents. In case a parent cant pick up his/her child, he/she must inform the CDW beforehand of the person who will pick up the child instead of his/her. The designated person will then show proof of identification to the CDW when picking up the child. Children’s ID not only contain the name and number of the emergency contact person but it also includes a flashlight and a whistle to be used during emergencies. First aid kits, referrals As part of the standard and guidelines for center-based early childhood programs for zero to four years old set by the Early Childhood Care and Development Council, the center is equipped with first aid kit.

Emergency Drill The province of Misamis Oriental, in which Barangay 18, Gingoog City belongs has four active fault lines—Magsaysay Linugos Fault, Gingoog Fault (moving fault), Cabanglasan Fault and Tagoloan

River Fault. An earthquake occurring in Gingoog is not improbable; hence, learners are trained on what to do during an earthquake and how to be prepared. Barangay 18 is a coastal barangay and last April 2018, disaster struck when a number of houses were burned to the ground. Because of this, the barangay council as well as the parents of the Child Development Center preschoolers’ and CDW, participated in a fire drill wherein they utilize seawater to extinguish the flames. Children were also taught how to use a floatation device, life jacket. The center, as a public institution is supervised and managed by the government unit of Barangay 18 thus, the center worker is thus a member of the barangay’s DRRM organizational structure.

Noble Reunion in Las Vegas from May 8-12, 2019

By WENDY R. GARCIA

LANNING for a family reunion entails a lot of work. But the ensuing merrymaking, bonding and heartwarming moments make it all worth it.

That is exactly what happened when members of the Albino Xavier Noble – Nieves Zuniga Suarez clan gathered for their 1st big reunion in Las Vegas. Since two of the clan members live in Las Vegas, it was decided that the cousins who are now scattered in different parts of the world would meet there. First to arrive were Drs. Tony & Wilma Dayrit of Maryland, followed by Marina Vasquez-Black and brother, Joey Vasquez who drove from Paso Robles. Joey had arrived a few weeks earlier from Manila. The Noble siblings -brothers Manny Boy, Francisco Jr. and Jose Vicente, along with sister Bernadette aka Kookie & hubby Sonny Cue of Perth, Australia, drove from Los Angeles after spending time with Manny and family. Vicky Dayrit-Mazzeo

picked up Emelinda Fabella-Saguil in Arizona and together, they flew to Las Vegas while Cecile Dayrit-Lopez and older brother, Emilio Jr. flew from Los Angeles. The 1st big event was dinner hosted by Joe & Paching Dayrit-Montanez at their well-appointed home at Rhodes Ranch. Because the Nobles are both gourmets and gourmands, it was no surprise that Paching laid out a gastronomic feast. Aside from her famous callos, potato salad, baked salmon, chicken a la king, white fruit salad, there was delicious lechon, crab cakes from Maryland, a variety of cheesecakes from Marin County and Porto cheeserolls and homemade brownies from Los Angeles. Every single one of them is a great cook – from eldest cousin Emelinda who learned from grandmother Rosario Neri-Fabella and aunt, Edith Fabella-

Pelaez, to the Dayrit sisters, Cecile, Paching & Vicky, quite expected being daughters of Gely Noble-Dayrit to Cookie Noble-Cue whose mother’s (Flora NeriNoble) culinary expertise was also well-known in Cagayan circles and Marina Vasquez-Black whose mother, Rosalinda Noble-Vasquez, hosted unforgettable parties. The 2nd day was another round of feasting – lunch at a Thai restaurant, followed by a friendly game of mahjong at the Montanez’ home. Tony, Wilma, and Joey were driven to the Grand Canyon by Paching on Friday while the Noble siblings visited the Valley of Fire. Those who did not go sightseeing were guests of Becky de Tagle & Wendy Garcia for brunch at Siena’s Bistro. Friday’s dinner hosts were Yiyit and Alvin Noble at their

lovely home. It was there when the cousins held an impromptu meeting to decide the venue for their next reunion. Seeing them interact, joke around and just plain enjoy each other’s company was a joy to watch. Saturday morning was spent by the Noble brothers playing golf after which they all met for dimsum at a restaurant. They all watched LeReve at Wynn Hotel Sunday evening. The Noble siblings went to the Grand Canyon and

Hoover Dam on Monday. Theirs is an interesting story. The journey began when their grandfather, Albino Xavier Noble, was brought to Cagayan de Oro from Antique by his uncle, Dr. Francisco Xavier, husband of Mercedes Roa, when he was 9 years old. Albino went to study at Silliman University, became a successful businessman and married Nieves Suarez of Manila and Camiguin. From this union came Estela N. Fabella, Herminia, Angelina N. Dayrit, Francisco, Rosalinda N. Vasquez and Mario. Sadly, Herminia died during the war when she was only 20 years old while youngest sibling Mario died at the young age of 50. The various activities drew these relatives together to celebrate life and love with promises to meet again next year in Oahu, Hawaii as the next venue.

T he re s olut i on w as passed unanimously by all six members present during the s ession after SP member Virgelia Dumadag stood on the floor and read a prepared speech accusing Sotto of politicking during the last election and discrediting the results of the congressional voting in the first legislative district of the province. Government employees are barred from being partisan. Part of the resolution stated that Sotto “has been actively engaging himself in electoral matters and posting daily prayers, messages and comments in the social media which are all directed to the province electorates to further the election victory of his candidate in the vice gubernatorial and first district congressman race.” It also stated that Sotto “posted damaging statements and malicious lies directly addressed to the people of Misamis Oriental (sic) when the results become apparent that his congressional candidate is on the losing end.” Sotto was hired by the provincial board in 2013 when the now outgoing Vice Gov. Jose Mari Pelaez was still part of the majority bloc. But when Pelaez sided with opposition second district Rep. Juliette Uy since October and the three-member Unabia bloc allied with the administration PaDayon Pilipino, the vice governor suddenly found himself in the minority and was stripped of all committee chairmanships. In succeeding sessions, Pelaez would find himself locked in a heated debate with PaDayon Pilipino allied-SP members President Elipe and Gerardo Sabal III. Sotto being declared as persona non grata is seen as a continuing escalation of partisan politics at the provincial board – a circumstance that is expected to stay once incoming Vice Gov. Jeremy Jonahmar Pelaez takes over on June 30. T h e n e w s e t of SP members will also come from PaDayon Pilipino(PDP-Laban) while vice governor-elect Pelaez is allied with Uy’s National Unity Party. This paper sent a message to Sotto for his side on the issue but he has not yet returned it as of presstime. The SP members who voted for Sotto to be declared persona non grata were Vincent Pelaez, Mercy Grace Acain, Wayne Militante, Leonard Winstanley, Kenneth Soldevilla, Dumadag and Sabal. Three of them belong to the PaDayon PilipinoUnabia bloc while Soldev-

illa and Winstanley are non-partisan ex-officios. The Unabi a blo c is composed of politicians in the first district who comprise the PDP-Laban provincial chapter under Rep. Peter Unabia.

Jimenez, 18 years old and left his family last October 2018 when he was still 17. Dylan was given first aid treatment to preserve his life after troops who scoured and cleared the area found him still alive and even revealed his false identity. In the hope to save his life, around 06:15 in the evening, troops successfully extricated the wounded CNT along with his three dead comrades and was rushed immediately to Madrid District Hospital in the municipality of Madrid but unfortunately he was pronounce Dead On Arrival by the attending physician, Dr Mary Michelle Paganpan. The three other dead young NPA rebels were yet to be known at press time Garello said the death of Dylan is another story of recruitment of minors by the communist armed struggle who prey on their innocence and weaknesses and a clear violation of the International Humanitarian Law. “Dylan could have been someone in the society s o m e d ay i f t h e N PAs spared him from the life of violence and let him be educated in schools,” Garello said.\ Government troopers recovered three AK47 rifles, two M16 rifles, two long magazines for M16, three cellular phones, assorted ammunitions and subversive documents. In Jul;y 2016, 36IB soldiers also treated a wounde d NPA reb el named Jernel Regulada, alias Alfred, then 17 years old, after his comrades helplessly left him behind and scampered for their own lives after a brief firefight in the village of Tubo-tubo in Cagwait town in Surigao del Sur. Col. Maurito L Licudine, commander of 402nd Infantry Brigade said, “We offer our sincerest condolences to the families of the dead NPA rebels. Our troops have done their best to save Dylan’s life yesterday but he expired upon arrival in the hospital. It is tragic that they have taken arms against our government b e c aus e we k now t hat only through peace can development and social justice can be attained. We shall perform our mandate to protect communities and confront those that threatened the well-being and safety of the people. Let this be a reminder to those who sow terror that arms of justice will catch them".

which regulates courier delivery services. However, these delivery services include online payments, which may properly be under the jurisdiction of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Also unclear is the DICT’s extent of authority over other components of the ICT sector such as telecommunications and broadcast information operators, ICT equipment manufacturers, multimedia content developers, IT solution providers, internet service providers, ICT training institutions, software developers, and ICT-ES providers. The inadequacy of laws in ICT and the vagueness of the DICT’s scope of power have resulted in certain barriers in the country’s trade and investment on ICT services, Barcenas said. One of the barriers noted by the author is the tedious application process in securing a legislative franchise and a certificate of public convenience and necessity, among other permits and licenses. It takes an average of five years to process these documents, slowing down investments in the telecommunications services. Another issue is the constitutional limit imposed on foreign ownership of telecommunications, broadcasting, mass media, and advertising firms. The 1987 Philippine Constitution also prohibits foreign nationals from practicing their professions, specifically those needed in the ICT services. These provisions restrain the entry of foreign capital, technology, and skilled human resource that could spur ICT development in the country. To address these challenges, the author urged the government to further strengthen the DICT’s role in ICT matters by defining the extent of its functions, and clarify the role of DTI in promoting e-commerce. She also recommended the removal of unnecessary requirements in the establishment and operation of telecommunications and broadcasting services providers, particularly the need for a legislative franchise. Barcenas likewise proposed an assessment of the adaptive capacity of the present regulatory structure, and to consider establishing a single ICT regulator that has authority on all ICT matters, including the power to regulate industries normally handled by other regulatory authorities, and the authority to interpret ICT-related issues for the guidance of other regulators.

be tabulated, it is almost improbable to dislodge you from the top. Please lead our province towards an era of harmony and unity. Let us discard the politics of hatred,” he said. Among the bills filed

by Catamco in support of the Lumads (Indigenous Peoples) are the proposed creation of a Department Of Indigenous Peoples; establishment of an Indigenous Training Center in Kidapawan, North Cotabato; mandating the inclusion of Ingigenous Culture Education in the curricula of schools in all levels in the country; maximizing the contribution of Indigenous Peoples to nation-building, grant benefits and special privileges; creating barangays for Indigenous Cultural Communities and Indigenous Peoples (ICC/IP) – all of them pending with their committees or referred to other committees. She also filed a bill “extending the period for Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples to exercise the option to secure Certificates of Title to their ancestral lands under Commonwealth Act 41, as amended, or the Land Registration Act 496, amending for the purpose section 12 of Republic Act No. 8371, otherwise known as “The Indigenous Peoples Rights Act” which, according to House records, was approved by the House of Representatives on May 22, 2017 and transmitted to the Senate on May 24, 2017. She also filed a bill “defining political dynasty and prohibiting the establishment thereof.” Catamco is Vice Chair of the committees on Local Government, Mindanao Affairs and Sustainable Development Goals in the 17th Congress (2016-2019). She was chair of the House of Representatives’ Committee on Indigenous Cultural Communities and Indigenous Peoples Peoples in the 16th Congress (20132016). Catamco figured in a controversy on July 23, 2015 when she led the police and military in efforts allegedly to “rescue” some 700 Manobos who sought refuge in the Haran compound of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines in Davao City, after fleeing their villages in the hinterands of Davao del Norte and Bukidnon to avoid getting caught in the crossfire between government forces and the New Peoples’ Army. Catamco argued the evacuees should be released, alleging they were held against their will. Days after the failed attempt, Lumads and their support groups filed a complaint before the Ombudsman against several officials, including Catamco, for alleged usurpation of authority or official function, physical injuries inflicted in a tumultuous affray, serious physical injuries, qualified trespass to dwelling, grave threats, grave coercion, malicious mischief The Ombudsman dismissed the complaint a year later, citing lack of evidence. In the efforts to push the passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law in 2014 and 2015

and in 2017, Catamco helped push for provisions to ensure the rights of Lumads in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao are protected. Catamaco is the third woman-governor of North Cotabato after Rosario Diaz (1988 to 1998) and Emmylou Talino-Mendoza, from 2010 to June 30, 2019. The 2019-2022 term will be the first time in North Cotabato history where the Governor and Vice Governor are both women. Elected representatives of the province’s three districts are Joel Sacdalan (PDP), son of former Governor and Representative Jesus Sacdalan, for the 1st district; Makilala Mayor Rudy Caoagdan (NP) for the 2nd district while Jose Tejada (NP), who ran unopposed, earned his third term for the 3rd district. Kidapawan City Mayor Joseph Evangelista was elected to his third term in office. (Carolyn O. Arguillas / MindaNews)

Management) today and probably it will be tackled,” she added. Based on the law’s implementing rules and regulations signed by NEDA, the DBM, and the DA, half of the rice fund amounting to PHP5 billion annually will be used to procure rice farm equipment by the government through the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PhilMech). Equipment such as tillers, tractors, seeders, threshers, rice planters, harvesters, and irrigation pumps will be given as a grant-in-kind primarily for eligible farmers, rice farm associations, and registered rice cooperatives. Under the rice tariffication law, Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol, in his Facebook post Monday, said PHP3 billion of the RCEF is allocated for inbred seeds to be handled by the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), and PHP1 billion for credit. The remaining PHP1 billion is earmarked for technical skills development and training to be handled by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (PHP700 million); PhilRice (PHP100 million); PhilMech (PHP100 million); and Agricultural Training Institute (PHP100 million), he said.

duque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco, and former speaker and re-elected Davao del Norte Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez, who is seeking to reclaim the House Speakership that he lost during a coup last year. Panelo said it does not matter to President Rodrigo Duterte that the next House Speaker would still be from the PDP-Laban. “Kasi Presidente nga (The President), since he’s not interfering with the functions of both Houses. Kasi (Because) as far as the President is concerned: Hinalal kayo diyan, alam ninyo naman iyong mga tungkulin ninyo (You were elected there, you know your duties),” Panelo said. “Tayong lahat ay mga (We’re all) workers of the government, dapat palagi ang lahat ng gagawin natin, pabor sa mga kababayan natin at sa ating bansa (everything we do should be in favor of our citizens and our country),” he added. Pimentel earlier said it would be a “crying shame” if the next Speakership does not go to a PDP-Laban member since they have a deep bench of competent party leaders who will push for the President’s legislative agenda.
