Namfrel won’t boycott Comelec AMID the various reactions to National Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL) recent move to return to the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) its citizens arm accreditation given to them, NAMFREL assured the public that there is no boycott move by NAMFREL versus COMELEC. In a media forum held at Manila Hotel yesterday, NAMFREL Chairman Augusto “Gus” Lagman

vehemently denied that NAMFREL is boycotting COMELEC. “If COMELEC will agree to our request for certain election data access that we need to perform our work efficiently then we are still open to working with COMELEC on the Random Manual Audit (RMA) which is the main task given to us by the COMELEC en banc resolution,”. Lagman said.

“We have presented to COMELEC our proposed Open Election

Data Program which we truly believe can greatly help COMELEC in protecting the sanctity of this year’s midterm elections so that a clean, transparent and credible election may be achieved. We do not see anything wrong or detrimental to COMELEC’s interest in our request. All is towards the pursuit of transparency which will add to the credibility of our May 13, 2019 elections,” Lagman See NAMFREL, page 10

Things to remember on election day

By JOYCE ANN L. ROCAMORA PNA

Bangsamoro launches e-BARMM to promote moral governance

MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur -- The Ministry of Public Works (MPW) bolstered anew its moral governance program by improving accountability and transparency in the implementation and monitoring of projects through the launching of the expanded BARMM Road Mapping and Management System (e-BARMM).

Chief Minister Alhaj Murad Ebrahim, who concurrently heads the MPW, said the e-BARMM is aligned with the moral governance that we the BARMM is advocating. “It is our duty to let our people know where their money is going,” he said.

The new and enhanced e-BARMM features the latest technology in geo-tagging and road mapping. It also uses drone and route shoots technology to strengthen the implementation and

monitoring of projects.

The system was initiated by former Regional Secretary Emil K. Sadain, now DPWH undersecretary, and was enhanced by former OIC-Regional Secretary Don Mustapha Loong, now member of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority. Both were also present during the launching.

Assistant Secretary Engineer Danilo Ong of the MPW said the e-BARMM can be used to avoid ghost projects and it has been of significance in planning to avoid duplication of proposed projects.

E-BARMM can also aid the ministry in combating issues of mismanagement and corruption that tarnished the defunct DPWH-ARMM’s reputation, despite undergoing massive reforms.

“We are happy to have assisted our army personnel. We also look forward that together with the Department of Education and Philippine National Police (PNP), we will be able to conduct safe and successful elections on May 13,” Acol added.

We did this to have more time to prepare and deploy all available forces on Elections Day.” “We wou ld li ke to assist our partners, the Comelec, PNP, and DepEd in conducting a Free, Honest, Peaceful, Orderly and Credible 2019 Elections,” Gacal added.

Other units of 4th ID also participated in the early voting which was conducted inside their respective camps.

The LAV allows the AFP, PNP and media personalities who cannot vote in their respective localities, to perform their right ahead of the national elections. Those who joined the absentee voting can only vote for candidates running for the Senate and Party-list.

With at least 500 attendees—all ages and different walks of life participated in the Laro’t Saya sa Parke, a family strengthening program which promotes an active and healthy lifestyle.

Laro’t Saya sa Parke Program is a park-based and family-oriented sportsfor-all program designed to draw the Filipino family into playing and learning sports together.

Prov inci a l Tour ism Council Chairman Gerard Ramiro said, “Misamis Occidental is very much privileged ug usa kita sa pipila lamang sa mga LGU’s sa tibuok Pilipinas nga gihatagan ug higayon sa Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) nga magdumala ani nga programa.”

19 nabbed for guns in Pagadian City CAGAYAN de Oro City-Nineteen persons armed with automatic rifles and pistols on board a convoy of two pick-up trucks were arrested in Pagadian City on Monday afternoon by a joint team of Army and police personnel.

Capt. Clint Antipala, public information officer of the 1st Infantry Division said the arrest was supervised by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) which acted on a tip from residents on the presence of the armed men in Barangay Danlugan, Pagadian.

“The government troops immediately responded in the area and were able to flag down the two vehicles and immediately apprehended the personalities on board possessing firearms,” Antipala said.

He said the soldiers and policemen seized five M16 rifles, seven Cal .45 pistols, two Cal .357 revolvers, one 9mm pistol, one Cal .38 revolver, one Cal .22 revolver, several assorted ammunition and 17 pieces of bonnet masks.

The arrest came after the Armed Forces of the Philippines deployed some 40,000 troops nationwide to help in the conduct of the May 2013 midterm elections.

Violence has been the mark of elections in parts

of the Philippines while vote buying is rampant in many areas.

Over 61 million registered voters are expected to troop to the polling centers on May 13 to vote for 12 senators, congressional district representatives, party-list groups and local government officials.

The Comelec declared the entire Mindanao a “Category Red Election Hotspot” in the run-up to the mid-term elections this month.

Mindanao, which has been placed under martial law since May 23, 2017, comprises 27 provinces, 33 cities, 422 towns and 10,084 barangays. It has a population of 24.1 million as of 2015 and its voting population in the 2016 Presidential polls was 12.6 million, the second vote-richest island in the country (Luzon’s was 30.4 million and Visayas’ was 11.3 million) AFP public affairs chief Col. Noel Detoyato said the troops will help the police in ensuring the safety of the voters.

“They will be deployed in areas where extra security is needed like areas of conflict or insurgency,” Detoyato said.

He said the Comelec has tapped the military to transport election para-

phernalia or materials like ballot boxes.

The Army and police have set up joint election monitoring command centers in Northern Mindanao to prevent the New People’s

Army and other armed groups from terrorizing voters on Election Day. “We will deny them any chance to conduct atrocities, threaten election officials and personnel or

coerce voters,” 4th Infantry Division commander Maj. Gen. Nemesio Gacal said.

Gacal said most of the soldiers and policemen who were deployed had already voted under the

supervision of the Comelec.

He said most of the voting was done in military and police camps last week. (Froilan Gallardo/ MindaNews)

Vote wisely my fellow Tagoloanons

Charlotte, North Carolina— I told myself not to get involved with local politics in my hometown of Tagoloan in Misamis Oriental province because the residents somehow never chose the right leaders to govern them.

It is frustrating to read about Facebook posts on the problems on water shortage, waste disposal, peace and order months after the election ended. The story always end up the same for years.

But I guessed I could not assume an apathetic, “I don’t care” attitude because I love my hometown. It is where I learned my civic mindset

which is still instilled in me long after I left the country.

Hence, I could not just let this year’s election pass without sharing my opinion based on facts in this very important exercise this May 13. Maybe, someone out there would be enlightened.

There are a lot of unresolved issues than need fixing. Real fixing and not palliative answers which usually come when the elections are near. My nephew Tiburcio Ricafort posted his thoughts on Tagoloan’s problems like water suopply.

I have no idea why this water supply problem could not be solved considering

that we have the Tagoloan river as a potential water source. A stable water supply is the right of every Filipino.

I read one Facebook post which said that a number of Tagoloanons would wake up early morning just to collect water. What a disservice to them and a major pain on their part.

What happened to the incumbent’s promise three years ago that he would distribute water pumps to every resident? Did he do it and if not, why not?

There is a lot to be fixed in Tagoloan and band aid solutions won’t do. In fact

Susan Palmes-Dennis

it starts with electing the best leaders who have vision, zero self interest and political will to do what needs to be done.

I don’t live In Tagoloan anymore so I cannot make any daily observations of what is happening there.

Instead I’ll post the observations made by my nephew Tiburcio Ricafort: 1. Waste disposal - The local government lacks intuitive alternatives in addressing this dreadful issue See VOTE, page 11

Member: ORO CHAMBER Philippine Press Institute

Power and a daunting politics EARLY in the morning, I jotted my thought down on this article. At 01:15, Tuesday, May 6, 2019, I had just got messages from a friend, far way in the Far East. The message is about a story in a cartoon. The pictures and the story tell me about the power and politics. It is a typical cartoon story.

In that story, I got some implicit messages. The first message tells us that, politics and power tend to be interrelated. These two entities have almost never got in touch with humanity values.

Even, murder and genocide can be the impact when it has been too chronic. When the hegemony and oligarchs want to exist forever, the politics and power can lead to a burden for the nation: miserable.

The second message is related to the strategies under the political hegemony.

Systemic strategies, huge power with their maneuver, and fierce tactics are implemented. No matter what the impact is. Absolute power and hegemony is the goal.

It is the goal how to always dominate the whole nation; the goal how to keep their existence forever; the goal how to make the big groups rich forever.

Power, politics, and finally all are deep rooted from the giant businesses or projects. These giant projects are the core of greediness. Being greedy— in this condition— is of having zero humanity. There is no way to talk about humanity.

There is no time to consider humanity. There is nothing the term being holy in that situation.

In this phenomenon, only the people have to suffer. The whole nation with the best people are

not covered and involved in all the country strategic administration. Policy makers are the kings of anything.

They can do right or wrong.

Everything is for their big groups: political hegemony.

The whole nation are all scared, but actually those who fear losing the power and hegemony feel more scared than the people.

In that condition, both the political hegemony and the whole people get themselves scared. They are scared each other. They are both scary. Information asymmetry increases.

The whole secret and big scale of -influential policies are taken. The impacts for the rest-but the bigger parts are ignored. Only do a small number- but the giant corporations absorb all the country’s wealth. They keep themselves busy and take whatever they want.

Dr. Djuwari

In that crucial condition, the nation needs super hero.

That is one of the cartoon story when approaching the end. What surprises me is about the hero needed in that situation. When the whole nation is in huge burden by political hegemony, we do not need a hero that is powerful and strong physically. In that cartoon story, the hero is even a blind man.

Blind in physical condition, but strong in spirit.

The hero is needed only his or her huge inner power.

When all the people have such characters, whatever big the political hegemony See POLITICS, page 11

A Deeper View

The incongruent behavior THE popularity of senatorial candidates perceived close to the president is not the causal result of such closeness but massive tv advertising and to a well-funded campaign that others lack.

Francis Tolentino is close to the president but he is not in the winning circle like Bong Go and Bato dela Rosa. Why? Because Tolentino’s tv advertising is not as massive to that of the two. His candidacy is not as well-funded also compared to Go’s and Dela Rosa’s.

Bong Revilla’s and Jinggoy Estrada’s candidacies while inexplicably endorsed

by Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte’s Hugpong Pagbabago, did not merit a presidential endorsement. In fact, the president personally clarified he can’t endorse the two for their links to

corruption for which they were both charged before the Sandiganbayan with Revilla being exonerated by the court and Estrada’s case still being heard.

But the two are consistently in the secure ranking of getting reelected back to the seat they previously occupied. Their winning status could never be attributed to their closeness to the president. However, they were able to prove they can compete with anyone as far as tv advertising is concerned and as far as running a well-oiled campaign machinery as well.

If incumbent Sen. Bam Aquino’s reelection is in a precarious state, it is apparently because of his inability to mount a campaign as lavish as Go’s.

Incumbent Sen. Grace

Poe’s phenomenal performance, on the other hand, proves beyond any iota of doubt that winning the senatorial race need no endorsement from the president.

And as far as logistics is concerned, it must not be as deep as Go’s.

What lessons can be learned from these facts about the current senatorial race? Presidential endorsement matters only if it is backed up with deep war chest. Go and dela Rosa are proving this beyond any doubt.

But even if you get to be endorsed by a popular sitting president in a midterm election does not necessarily translate into being in the winning circle. This is the situation of Tolentino because he does not have the unlimited logistics Go and

Jesse E.L. Bacon II

dela Rosa seem to have.

But being endorsed by the president is never an assurance of victory. Poe’s reelection bid is the best case study in this regard.

The question at this point is where did Go and dela Rosa access their deep war chests that were denied to the others also endorsed by the president? This just goes to show that among the handpicked senatorial candidates of the president, both Go and dela Rosa are better situated compared to the others.

The president undeniably wants them to win.

BUSINESS 6

Bong Go vows to push workers’ welfare • to encourage more investors to create more jobs BACOLOR, Pampanga – Former Special Assistant to the President Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go on Tuesday reiterated his commitment to promote the welfare of Filipino workers even as he vowed to support government programs that would encourage more investors to open their business in the country and provide more jobs for our people.

Go made the statement during his visit to a Michael Kors factory here, which employs thousands of Filipino workers, including many Aetas—indigenous people mostly living in mountainous areas of Luzon, including Pampanga.

“Papasalamatan ko rin po rin po ang Superl Philippines, Inc.--- nagbigay sila ng 14 na libong trabaho dito.

Kasama po ang mga Aeta sa binigyan nila ng trabaho.

Ako naman po ang pakiusap ko sa inyo magtrabaho tayo ng mabuti. Ipakita natin

sa kanila na tayong mga Pilipino talagang masisipag at mababait,” Go said.

Go said he visited the factory upon the invitation of the owners as well as Pampanga Gov. Lilia Pineda and House Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

The former SAP said he hopes other businessmen and multinational companies operating in the country would follow suit and employ indigenous peoples in their factories.

“Sana po sa lahat ng mga negosyante, sa mga investors, sa mga multinational companies po bigyan natin ng pagkakataon na magtrabaho po (ang mga indigenous people) lalong lalo na po yung mga Aetas natin, yung mga tao natin na galing sa bundok para naman po kumita sila at makapamuhay ng maayos at magkaroon po ng regular na trabaho,” Go added.

Go noted that Davao City, where he worked for

almost two decades as top aide of then Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, has passed an antidiscrimination law to ensure everyone—including indigenous peoples—are treated equally and given equal opportunity, particularly on work opportunities.

It could be recalled that in May last year, Go had provided medical and livelihood assistance to two Aeta women from Mabalacat, Pampanga and even gave them the opportunity to meet President Duterte in Malacanang.

Go said that if elected to the Senate he would work to protect the rights and promote the welfare of laborers.

“Importante po sa akin ang kapakanan ng mga manggagawa. Uunahin ko po, kung sakaling ako ay papalarin, uunahin ko po ang kapakanan ng mga manggagawa natin, interest ng mga workers po natin, mga Filipino workers po,”

Go said.

But at the same time, Go said it is also important to balance the interest of workers and those of investors whose businesses would provide more job opportunities to our people.

He said he would support

legislation, like the Ease of Doing Business law, meant to encourage more investors to come into the country.

“Kaya nga meron tayong Ease of Doing Business po para matulungan natin ang mga investors na makapagapply na walang pahirapan

sa proseso sa mga papeles at makapag-negosyo sila,” Go said.

“Alam nyo iyun po ang pinagbibilin ni Pangulong Duterte noong mayor pa siya ng Davao City. Tulungan po natin ang mga See PUSH, page 10

INVITATION TO BID May 28, 2019

The Pag-IBIG Fund Committee on Disposition of Acquired Assets shall conduct a first sealed public auction for the sale of acquired properties at Conference Room 4th floor Pag-IBIG Fund Building JR Borja St., Cogon Cagayan de Oro City on:

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Bong Go tells new doctors of 7th Day Adventists:

We are kindred spirits united by our passion to serve the people FORMER Special Assistant to the President and 2019 senatorial aspirant Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go on Monday congratulated new doctors belonging to the Seventh Day Adventist Church, saying they are kindred spirits united by their dedication to serve the people.

In his message before the new doctors during the recognition rites held at the Vikings in Mall of Asia in Pasay City, Go also urged them to value service above all, noting that service to the people is also service to God. “Unang-una gusto kong batiin ang mga miyembro ng Seventh Day Adventist Church na nakapasa ng Physician Licensure Examination at ngayon ay ganap nang mga doktor. Nagbigay karangalan kayo sa inyong pamilya, simbahan at pamayanan,” Go said.

Among the new doctors who belong to the Seventh Day Adventists are three of the top 10 in the 2019 Physician’s Board Exams for March 2019, namely Clinton Rosita Rabadon of West Visayas State University-La Paz (1st place), Dale Ivan Aurigue Bruel of the University of the East-Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center (7th), and Wilma Cleo Yvonne Borja Dapog of Cebu Doctor’s UniversityCollege of Medicine.

“Galingan po ninyo ang inyong propesyon dahil kailangan kayo ng ating bayan. Alam ko bilang mga miyembro ng inyong simbahan malakas ang pananampalataya ninyo sa Diyos at inaalay ninyo sa kanya ang bawat tagumpay na inyong nakakamit. Sana lagi ninyong isa-isip ang

paglilingkod sa kapwa ay paglilingkod sa Diyos,” he added.

Go said doctors and health workers are close to his heart because they share a common advocacy, noting that among his top priorities is the improvement in the delivery of medical services.

“Malapit sa puso ko ang mga doktor at iba pang health care professionals dahil kalusugan po ang isa sa mga prayoridad ko,” Go said.

“Iisa po ang ating misyon, and we have the same passion—to serve the community and to serve the people, because for us, tayong lahat, para sa atin ang serbisyo sa tao ay serbisyo po sa Diyos,” he added.

Go lamented that in going around the country, he noticed that many public hospitals lack enough facilities and equipment to handle the number of patients.

“Isang kama, dalawa o tatlong bata. Paano gagaling ang mga pasyente kung ganun po ang kanilang kalagayan?” said Go, who is pushing for additional funding for public health institutions.

He also pointed out that during his stint as SAP, he had helped President Rodrigo Duterte in establishing Malasakit Centers as part of their shared vision to help poor patients.

A brainchild of Go, the Malasakit Center is a program of the Duterte administration meant to make it easier and faster for indigent patients to avail of medical and financial assistance from the government by bringing together in one room concerned agencies such as the DOH, DSWD,

PCSO and Philhealth.

Go is pushing for a law that would institutionalize Malasakit Center and enable the establishment of such centers in more provinces and key urban areas in the country.

Meanwhile, Go also thanked the leadership of the Seventh Day Adventist Church for giving him the opportunity to meet and address their congregation during their gathering.

“Masaya po ako na binigyan ako ng pagkakataon na makapagsalita po dito…

Salamat po sa pagkakataong ibinigay ninyo sa akin na makahalubilo at makapagsalita sa inyo at maibahagi ko po ang pareho nating layunin,” Go said.

He also thanked the church for their support to President Duterte and his campaign against criminality, illegal drugs, and corruption.

“Salamat po sa tulong at suporta ninyo kay Pangulong Duterte sa kanyang kampanya,” Go said.

The former SAP had been consistently saying that he fully supports the programs and policies of President Duterte, particularly the campaign against criminality, corruption and illegal drugs.

“Ipapagpatuloy ko po ang mga pagbabagong nasimulan ni Pangulong Duterte,” Go said.

Other priority concerns under Go’s legislative agenda include programs for agriculture, education, housing for the poor, longterm sports development, localized peace talks, fire protection and prevention, barangay welfare, creation of a Department of OFW and improved benefits for senior citizens.

HNP-HTL alliance bets warned vs. paying NPA campaign permit

DAVAO CITY -- The Hugpong ng Pagbabago-Hugpong sa Tawong Lungsod alliance said it will junk its own local candidates if they bow to the New People’s Army (NPA) by paying the so-called “permit-to-campaign” extortion scheme.

HNP is a regional party founded by Mayor Sara Duterte while the HTL is a local party formed by then-mayor and now Presi-

dent Rodrigo Duterte in the 1990s.

Majority of the candidates for the city council are members of the HTL, which formed an alliance with HNP last year.

“The alliance will outright junk candidates who will be giving in to the demands of the NPA, a terrorist organization behind countless of horrendous crimes against the people,”

said an HNP-HTL statement released to the media Monday.

HNP-HTL said that paying to the NPA makes candidates “terrorists themselves.”

NPA’s “permit-to-campaign” extortion has been practiced during elections by some candidates in order to gain access to far-flung areas where rebels have a known presence.

“The election ensures that people freely exercise their right to choose their leaders -- and the NPA extortion scheme is an absolute travesty of the essence of the election,” HNP-HTL said.

“Paying the NPA is tantamount to bowing down to them and subscribing to their destructive ideology.

It is also as good as playing blind to the crimes they

committed in the past and supporting the crimes and more acts of terrorism they will commit in the future,” it added.

In February, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año had called on the public not to vote for candidates who support or who have links with communist rebels.

Based on the consoli-

dated figures gathered by intelligence groups, Año said a total of PHP195.5million was accumulated by the NPA from its various extortion activities nationwide during the 2016 and 2018 elections.

He said that PHP300,000PHP650,000 were collected by the communist rebels from governors and vice governors; PHP200,000See WARNED, page 10

Comelec orders DavSur candidate to stop appearing on TV DAVAO C IT Y - - The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has directed a candidate for Davao del Sur provincial council to stop appearing on her own television program until the end of the campaign period.

Davao del Sur Provincial Election Supervisor Jennifer Ancla has called the attention of provincial board candidate Maria Ana Sumatra over the latter’s continuous appearances on her own television program, which is also replayed on a cable television channel.

Sumatra is running under a local party that is backed by the Hugpong ng Pagbabago regional bloc. She runs

the program The Voice of Truth on television and the Voice of Freedom on the radio.

In his letter dated April 29, Ancla reminded Sumatra of the provisions of the Comelec Resolution No. 10488 or the Elections Fair Act, which states that “any columnist, commentator, announcer and reporter who is a candidate for any election public office shall take a leave of absence from work during the campaign period.”

The Comelec rule also prohibits members of the mass media from using media work for a See ORDERS, page 10

Davao Region top cop opens poll monitoring center DAVAO CITY -- The chief of the Police Regional Office-11 (PRO-11) opened its Regional Election Monitoring Center (REMAC) for media viewing Monday to show the police’s preparations for the May 13 elections.

Brig. Gen. Marcelo Morales, PRO-11 chief, said the REMAC -- located inside the Tactical Operation Center of the PRO-11 headquarters here -- was already tried during the recent Palarong

Pambansa 2019.

“It has operated last February but there was no official inauguration and blessing so this system is upgradable. Whatever software can be installed here like in the future the facial recognition and plate number recognition,” Morales said.

DA-11 designated Epifanio Loyola and Quirsito Cajegas as farmer and fisherfolk directors, respec-

Stephanie Bag-In said voters must remember to fully shade the circle beside the name of her/his candidate and avoid overvoting or else their ballots would be voided by the vote counting machine (VCM).

For senators, a voter could only pick 12 candidates or less. And while there are 59 seats available for party lists, a voter could only choose one group.

This year, there are a total of 61,843,750 active registered voters in the Philippines.

Voting process The voting process starts from the voter looking into his/her name in the Posted Computerized Voters List (PCVL) at the polling place, which would determine the precinct number and sequence number.

Verification follows after a member of the electoral board (EB) verifies the voter’s identity and checks if any of his/her fingernails have already been stained with indelible ink.

In some areas including Manila, Quezon City, Caloocan City, Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Cavite, Iloilo, Cebu, Negros Occidental, Zamboanga del Sur, Misamis Oriental, Davao Del Sur, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, the Voter Registration Verification Machine (VRVM) will be used to verify the identity of the voter.

After the voter’s identity has been established by the EB, the voter will affix his/ her signature in the Election Day Computerized Voters List (EDCVL).

After these, the voter could now fill-up the ballot and cast his/her vote in the VCM, which will display messages and the ballot will automatically drop inside the ballot box.

On preparations leading up to the election day, Bag-In said almost all of Comelec’s field offices have already complied upon the set timeline of the main office.

“So far, it’s very smooth and ongoing,” she told the Philippine News Agency in an interview. (PNA)

Metro Manila urban poor groups join hands to back Bong Go’s candidacy METRO Manila’s urban poor groups joined hands to express their support for the senatorial bid of former Special Assistant to the President Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go. This developed as leaders of urban groups comprising the National Capital Region Urban Poor Council of Leaders (NCR-UCPL) adopted a resolution on May 3, 2019 manifesting their support for Go, saying they believe he could be their voice in the Senate to articulate their concerns. “…Kaming mga opisyal ng Council of Leaders, sampu ng aming mga kasama at miyembro, ay sumusuporta kay Mr. Christopher Lawrence Tesoro Go, o mas kilala namin sa tawag na Bong Go,” the resolution read. “…Kami ay naniniwala na kanyang susuportahan at bibigyan ng pansin sa pamamagitan ng polisiya at batas na kanyang isusulong sa Senado ang karapatan naming mahihirap para magkaroon ng kaseguruhan sa palupa at pabahay, programang kabuhayan,” it added.

The urban poor leaders said they trust that Go would promote their welfare. “…Kami ay naniniwala na kanyang isusulong ang karapatan ng mahihirap upang maitaas ang antas ng aming pamumuhay,” the urban poor leaders said.

The res olution was signed by Bong Latonero, president of the NCR-UCPL, and other leaders of urban poor groups in the 16 cities and one municipality comprising Metro Manila area.

Each urban poor group has around 50,000 members.

“Hindi pa man siya naluluklok sa Senado, may mga programa na siya tulad ng Malasakit Center na lubos na nakatutulong sa tulad naming mahihirap na walang maipambayad sa pagpapaospital. Ito ang pinaka pumukaw sa aming atensyon upang buong pusong suportahan ang kaniyang kandidatura,” Latornero said.

A brainchild of Go, adopted by the Duterte administration as its own

R. A. 10172 Form No 10.1 (LCRO)

program, the Malasakit Center makes it easier and faster, particularly for poor patients to avail of medical and financial assistance from the government by bringing together in one room concerned agencies such as the DOH, DSWD, PCSO and Philhealth.

“Gusto ko pong maisabatas ito para tuloy-tuloy ang programa at madagdagan pa natin ang Malasakit Center sa iba pang mga probinsya at pangunahing lungsod para mas maraming makinabang,” said Go, who has vowed to pursue efforts to improve delivery of medical services in the country.

It could be recalled that long before he has signified his intention to run for the Senate, Go has been going around the country, visiting victims of fire and other calamity to provide assistance and cheer them up.

“Wala pa man sa Senado pero may nagagawa na, paano pa kaya kung mabigyan ng pagkakataon na maging Senador? Natitiyak ko na marami pa siyang programa na maisasabatas na kaming mga urban poor ang unangunang manginginabang,” Latonero added.

“Nabuo ang aming samahan upang itaguyod ang mga pangangailangan ng bawat maralitang naninirahan sa buong Metro Manila at base sa aming obserbasyon, si

SAP Bong Go ang tunay na magsisilbing tulay para kaginhawaan ng aming buhay,” he added.

For his part, Go thanked the urban leaders for their support. He assured them that they can count on him to bring to the attention of President Duterte any concerns that they want the President to know.

“Maraming salamat po sa inyong suporta, nakakataba po ng puso. Asahan nyo po na patuloy ninyo akong magiging tulay kay Pangulong Duterte. Wala kaming ibang hangarin ni Pangulong Duterte kundi kabutihan ng bawat Pilipino dahil mahal namin kayo,” Go said.

Go is pushing for im-

proved housing program for the poor. He is proposing the establishment of relocation sites for urban poor modelled after townships--complete with basic facilities, such as markets, terminals, health center, day care center and even livelihood assistance centers—before allowing people to settle in.

He is also proposing to strengthen the National Housing Authority to better respond to growing demands for quality and cheap housing and provide as well assistance to fire victims to allow them to recover from the tragedy, among others.

The urban poor will also benefit from Go’s proposal to increase the budget of the Department of Education

to enable the department to provide free uniforms, school supplies and other school needs of students in public elementary and secondary schools.

He is also seeking to amend the Local Government Code of 1991 to allow local government units to provide similar support to public school students in their area of jurisdiction.

(PNA) on Friday, Sumatra denied violating any Comelec rules through her radio and television program.

“In my own knowledge, I did not violate any election campaign rules. I no longer anchored my regular programs, and neither did I replay my old segments.

I know that my opponents were crafting trumped-up complaint against me but I am not guilty of such accusations,” Sumatra said.

“As I see it, the Comelec displayed its bias against me.

Why did they single me out when there are cable and radio broadcast in the province worthy to be flagged down by the election office for excessive promotions through airtime of some candidates?,” Sumatra said.

“And if there is a particular place that we want to see,

it can be seen immediately on the screen. The deployment of PNP and even the recent incidents on specific cases like robbery, homicide, physical injuries, so it can be seen here,” he added.

Morales said the monitoring center is vital for the May 13 elections as it serves as “a repository of information. From the information, we can create a good picture of the situation on the ground and we can make an accurate and better decision making.”

“Even after the election, it can still be used. Through this, we have monitored that the number of armed movements is declining so we plot it on the map and as we have noticed they are moving away from the city towards to the countryside boundaries of Region 11,” the PRO-11 director added.

elections this Monday. We believe this is far from the truth and will not happen so we appeal to our people to rally behind the righteous intentions of COMELEC for clean elections. We might not have a perfect COMELEC but it’s the only one we got to do the job so as patriots and nationalistic citizens of the Philippines lets help our COMELEC do its work towards a credible and peaceful midterm elections,” Aragon said.

Also in the same forum, NAMFREL’s national treasurer and information technology head Lito Averia requested COMELEC to pursue transparency in the conduct of Monday’s elections. “We are appealing to COMELEC to uphold the principle of transparency in the midterm elections this Monday because this will add credibility to our country’s election process,” Averia appealed.

negosyante natin. Iyon po ang magbibigay ng trabaho sa ating mga kababayan dito sa lugar,” he added.

Go assured the factory workers that he and President Duterte would always be willing to address their concerns.

“Ito lang po ang masasabi sa inyo, ako po ang patuloy ninyong magiging tulay kay Pangulong Duterte. Sa abot ng aming makakaya po kahit ano po na pwede naming gawin sa inyo huwag po kayong mag-atubiling lumapit sa amin,” Go said.

As part of his legislative agenda, Go seeks to champion the cause of the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to increase the income of ordinary Filipinos. Among others, Go proposes to support MSMEs with more free business training, easier credit access with low interests and shared manufacturing machinery.

Go also vows to promote local industries, like the famous Marikina shoes, to increase the income of local communities.

The former SAP said that he takes it as his mission in life to help President Duterte serve the Filipino people.

“Minsan lang tayo dadaan sa mundong ito. Kung ano pong kabutihan ang pwede nating gawin sa ating kapwa gawin na natin ngayon dahil hindi na tayo babalik sa mundong ito,” Go said.

is, they can be successful.

Implicitly, God almighty is the sole power. He will touches anything in the world and all will be in His decision. In order to have more power, all the nation should have this “hope.”

More implicitly, all the people in any country must have a hope. A hope to be close to the Creator: God almighty. When all have hope, anything they do can eventually be realized by a hand-touching of the Creator. On the contrary, when the whole nation have no hope at all, the political hegemony will exist forever.

So, being brave does not mean having huge power to attack. Being brave is attacking anything with huge inner power close to our God almighty. Never think that the political hegemony is brave. They are even more scared of losing their huge power. We are both in a daunting politics.

Behavior... from page 4

The glaring reason for this presidential attitude toward the two is because of their loyalty to the president.

Among the loyal lieutenants, both must have displayed canine devotion to the president compared to the others who like them were also endorsed by the president.

Call this act as playing favorites on the part of the president. But given the president’s penchant to be his own worst enemy, he needs loyal lieutenants such as Go and dela Rosa.

Here lies the problem. The Senate as a co-equal branch needs to be peopled by independent individuals who have the galls and the balls to stand up to a president like Duterte.

Duterte needs to be checked to maintain the balance in the exercise of powers between the three branches of government.

Without such check, democracy is dead. (jelbacon@yahoo.com; jelbaconii@gmail. com)

as I need not mention the amount of filthy rubbish that we see in our streets.

No need for debate, you see it, I see it as well as the others do, what are we doing so far? Will it hurt the pocket of the LGU to put large garbage bins around Poblacion, Plaza and other populated areas? Where do we dump our garbage?

Are we in line with proper waste disposal that will hurt less our environment?

Campaigns and sanitation drives are not felt for it is always passed on the concerned barangays to manage, look at our public market for instance.

2. Water - Yes, since time immemorial insufficient,dirty and expensive water supply has always been our woe. Far flung areas are still not reached by a sustainable water source, Sta.Ana and areas of Natomolan still don’t have a clear source of sustainable water and residents are forced to get service from the ever expensive Mactan Rock who provides INTERMITTENT water supply. How safe is our tap water provided by our local water district? It changes color from time to time.

3. Street lights - Drive along the Casinglot strip and the Tagoloan Elementary School and other risky areas that don’t have enough lighting. Who is to blame?

The local government? Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)?

The concerned barangay?

The local government with its mandate has the power to ask large corporations to donate/sponsor street lights if we cannot afford it, blame it all on the barangay? Yes knowingly the barangays don’t have enough funding and are always dependent on our elected officials.

4. Traffic Management - Am I the only one who cringes at our current poor traffic management? It is very chaotic if I need to describe it. The number of disorganized public transport i.e motorsikads, habal-habal motorcycles and similar vehicles are unevenly scattered along our streets causing traffic.

Uneducated customers park their single motorcycles along the street in front of Tagoloan Elementary School to buy from food stalls in the area. The only living person I’ve seen from before and up until now is the same one who manages the traffic in our public market. The rise of minors who roam around town driving single motorcycles without helmets whom I doubt are issued driver’s license.

These problems have not been addressed and a lot of Tagoloanons want them resolved but are afraid to speak out for fear of reprisal from the powers that be.

At the start of this column, I mentioned the kind of mayor I want for Tagoloan and Tiburcio validated this by echoing my sentiments.

Tagoloanons need a mayor who is accessible and can be expected to act immediately and decisively on any problem they may have.

Tiburcio said he wants local officials to be sensitive and responsive to the complaints and sentiments of constituents and are readily available to help people in need.

Right now, methinks

Thursday, May 9, 2019 Tagoloan needs change and it should start by electing visionary leaders who don’t belong to any entrenched political clan or party that only makes their living off the support of weary constituents who deserve far better than what they have right now.

For once, can we have real change and I appeal to my fellow Tagoloanons to vote Enan Sabio for mayor.

His track record in Barangay Natumolan speaks for itself and he solved his barangay’s garbage disposal problem by securing support from Rep. Juliette Uy of Misamis Oriental’s second district.

I close my notes by paraphrasing Tiburcio Ricafort: “Encouraging the public to vote wisely. Let us think of our future, our children’s future, our security, our livelihood among others.”

So to my fellow Tagoloanons I say go out and vote.

Don’t be scared. If you did receive money, never mind and vote for Enan Sabio anyway. Otherwise you will regret it and will be doomed to suffer the same apathy, neglect and indifference from the incumbent for the next three years.

of services, the hospital will be led by some of the top local oncologists, working in a dedicated group practice as part of multi-disciplinary care teams.

“We are working with some of the most respected names in the local oncology field, and we are delighted that they share our vision for this Cancer Hospital.

We are also encouraged by the feedback we have gotten from patients who love the concept. I think having a specialized cancer hospital in the Philippines is long overdue, and our goal is to redefine cancer care by serving a broader segment of Filipinos, while providing quality of care that matches global standards,” Borromeo said.

Borromeo also said that they plan to offer cancer screening services to identify cases early at AC Health’s FamilyDoc, now the largest retail clinic chain in the country.
