No basis for declaring revolutionary govt – Palace

By Antonio L. Colina IV MindaNews

THERE is no legal or factual basis to declare a revolutionary government, Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said Monday in the wake of reports that supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte’s are organizing a grand rally at the

Pakistani, Pinay wife nabbed in anti-drug campaign GENERAL Santos City-Anti-drug operatives arrested here early Monday a Pakistani national and his Filipino wife who were tagged as drug financiers and reportedly connected to a major illegal drug network operating in parts of Region 12.

Gil Cesario Castro, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA)-Region 12 director, identified the suspects as Shahzad Khan alias Salman Khan, 35, and wife Anjelie Mawani Osama, 30, who were listed as “highvalue” targets.

He said the couple was nabbed during simultaneous search operations at their two houses in Purok Malakas, Barangay San Isidro at past 2 a.m.

Recovered during the raids, which were based on two search warrants, were about 10 grams of suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu with an estimated market value of P50,000, a gray ledger containing several bank deposit slips and assorted documents detailing

Davao Crocodile park in this city on Thursday to urge the president to do so.

In a media briefing at the Presidential Guest House on Monday, Roque told reporters that Duterte has made it clear that he will only consider calling for a revolutionary government if there are attempts at destabilization against him.

“We appreciate the calls of president’s supporters for revolutionary government but I think there is no factual or legal basis as of now because the president has said he will consider a revolutionary government if destabilizers will persist their plan to have him removed from office,” he said.

Roque said they “don’t see any

such threat in the future” against Duterte, as he noted the support to him by Congress and the public who gave him 80-percent approval rating according to a Pulse Asia survey in conducted in September 2017.

“We assure them that the president is on top, he was duly

LGUs could talk with Reds locally: Roque LOCAL government units (LGUs) could still push their peace negotiations with the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) despite the signing of Proclamation No. 360, which declares the termination of the national government’s talks with the rebel groups, Malacañang said.

“We have local autonomy, so the peace talks can proceed on a local level if the local government units should want or desire to proceed,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque Jr. said in a press briefing Monday.

He was referring to Davao Mayor Sara DuterteCarpio’s intention to continue the peace talks with the communist group locally, even as negotiations on the national level were terminated.

New ‘Telco’ players to add load to consumers

It appears that the invitation of President Rodrigo Duterte for the Chinese to invest in the country’s telecommunication industry would turn into a “useless” proposition.

While the “Bayan Muna,” a progressive nationalist group, decry the President’s invitation as an avenue that would “open up the Philippine economy to further the foreign strangle and unjust control of [the country] basic industries like telecommunications, infrastructure, health, and the media,” the apprehension might have some meat.

However, the CYNOSURE sees the coming of the Chinese of foreign telecommunications stakeholders as an opportunity for the existing telecommunications mogul, the PLDT, to strengthen its hold in the country’s communication industry.

In fact, the announcement of Manny Pangilinan, the PLDT’s CEO, the other day that the Voyager Innovations, the prospected Chinese telecommunication investor, has sent feelers for a partnership with PLDT, was enough to seal the doubts and ramifications about the future of the country’s telecommunica-

of the services would not come cheap. The assessment is based on the existing communication infrastructure and platforms in the country.

In a macro analysis, the incoming telecommunication investor would always assess the status of the existing telecommunication players. How much the present infrastructure that the local telecommunication industry could offer to the foreign stakeholder would be the key to consider investing in the country.

Of course, being the only two competing telecommunication giants, the PLDT and the Globe have all the infrastructure to offer any foreign investor. It is now a question of “how much” will the players would gain before a partnership is considered. Likewise, the PLDT and Globe would also weigh the risk and opportunities in considering a partnership. After all, the bottom line for both the PLDT and Globe is always “profit.”

The Bayan Muna has opined that the internet service in the Philippines is one of the worst in the world -seventh slowest, besting only the likes of Iraq, Afghanistan and

Cris Diaz

Ethiopia. It is also one of the most expensive in the world based on man-hours per unit of data.

“L ib era lizat ion and privatization failed to deliver the promised efficient, affordable and good services for our people.

Our power industry, for instance, was liberalized and opened up to a “free market” competition, but it has, in fact, only resulted in sky-high electricity rates, 5th highest in the world.

It also did not necessarily result to better services or succeeded in bringing power to a wider part of our country sides,” Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate (Party List, Bayan Muna).

Considering the enormous expenses in the development of an independent telecommunications platform and digital services, all foreign stakeholders would always prefer to partner with the existing telecommunications provider in the country. Thus, an additional player in the industry would mean an additional burden to the consumers. -0- Email reactions/comments: crisguardian@yahoo.com

tion industry.

As a new telecommunication player, the Voyager would find it advantageous to partner with the PLDT because of the much-needed telecommunication infrastructure. As a premier telecommunications giant, the PLDT has already established a solid telecommunications platform around the country.

Obviously, the PLDT would exercise control over the Voyager. Under the existing 60-40 law, the PLDT would exercise overall control of the Voyager. In other words, the coming in of Voyager as a PLDT partner would only exacerbate the consumer woes.

The argument is that, as the partner introduces more telecommunication platforms and digital services, the PLDT would impose much higher rates. Reason: Additional expenses.

Another player, the Ant Financial Services Group, an affiliate of Chinese billionaire Jack Ma's Alibaba Group, has recently invested in Globe's Mynt, a rival of PLDT's Voyager, a Reuter report said. No matter how many telecommunication players would come to the Philippines, the consumers believed that the price

Schweitzer said that how happy we are depends on how much we live for others.

In fact, the one word that is the secret to success and the highest level of living is the word “others.”

But if we’d rather have a small, empty, boring life, then we can think only about ourselves and what we need and want.

The problem with this self-centered kind of living is that even though we get and keep everything for ourselves, we’re never completely satisfied or happy; so we don’t make others happy either.

Even God Himself said

that He did not come into the world to be served, but to serve others—even to the point of giving His own life for our wrongs, since He Himself had no wrongs to die for. Jesus Christ was constantly helping, healing, comforting, counseling, and forgiving others. He lived, died, and came back to life all for others. And even now, He is constantly praying for others, which includes you and me.

Jesus Christ became a human being to show us how to be happy and live successfully by living for others. He explained that it’s only when we give and

the President, who,while apologizing earlier for the war, castigated at the same time the Maranao community for their inaction, neglect or omission that caused the rise to power of the ISIS-inspired, drugfinanced Maute terrorist group right in the heart of the Lanao Sur capital that led to the catastrophic war.

Accordingly, the local officials and the people have done nothing on the proliferation of the drug trade in the place, the support of the drug lords to the Maute

terrorists, the stockpiling of high-powered arms and the construction of bunkers or tunnels right in their midst.

In short, If the Islamic City of Marawi is now reduced to rubble and the hundreds of thousands of residents have become displaced and homeless, they have no one to blame but themselves; they deserve it.

But come to think of it, if the government is aware from the start of the drug personalities in the place and the support they had provided to the terrorists,

So this Christmas, why don’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for all your wrongs and living for yourself. Then ask Him to help you start living His right, successful way: to serve, help, and give to others. You‘ll be the happiest one for it.

Finger-pointing on the Marawi Debacle

By William R. Adan MindaNews

NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental--The war had ended a month ago, but the fingerpointing continues. Some Maranao blame the government for the devastation of their homeland and the ruin of their lives. In fact, a group is poised to file a class suit against the government for what happened. Many kibitzers, on the other hand, blame the Maranao people for the Marawi debacle. In their comfort zone, they echo

why have they not been “tokhanged” or neutralized, for good? If the government was aware of the terrorist build-up in the city, why was there no effort to stop them before they could launch a very costly drawn-out war?

If the President was aware five months earlier of the impending Maute attack of the city, why did he allow it happen?

NFA supports corn producers advocacy on selling ‘Rice-Corn Blend’

ALAYBALAY CITY, Bukidnon — In a bid to prop up efforts of the government to attain rice self-sufficiency and avoid huge rice imports, the National Food Authority (NFA) in Bukidnon supports PhilMaize’s move to go into selling of rice-corn blend in markets.

“NFA is now collaborating with PhilMaize (Philippine Maize Federation), the umbrella organization of corn growers across the country, for a taste survey of rice-corn blend and see if it could work in the Philippine market if sold at ‘a little lower’ than the regular price of rice,” NFA spokesperson Maria Socorro Mellomida said.

Entitled “Acceptability of the Different Rice-Corn Blends,” the survey shall determine if rice-corn blend fits the taste among range of Filipino consumers as part of the regular diet.

Studies show that corn has lower calorie and carbohydrate content compared to rice. It contains high amylose that gives an

NFA Bukidnon supports PhilMaize advocacy on Rice-Corn Blend selling in Philippine markets. As NFA continues to be at the forefront in grains distribution, it will also help distribute into markets the new rice-corn blend which is in full support to the government’s thrust on food security.

National Corn Competitiveness Board (NCCB) Executive Vice Chairman and former PhilMaize Chairman Emeritus Roderico R. Bioco, meanwhile, said PhilMaize corn growers are targeting to sell tons of a 50-50 rice-corn blend in 2018—which means half of the mix is comprised of rice, while the remaining would consist of either white or yellow corn.

The NFA will help distribute the ricecorn blend.

Records show that in 2016, domestic consumption of rice was pegged at 12.9 million metric tons (MMT) while production was only 11.5 MMT or a deficit of 1.4 MMT. In years 2007, 2008 and 2009, the country recorded the highest rice import at 2.570 MMT, 2.6 MMT and 2.2 MMT, respectively.

Thus, the country keeps on resorting to importation inorder to increase buffer stock.

With this rice-corn blend upgrading options, NFA continues to be at the forefront in grains distribution, which is in full support to the government’s thrust on food security. (RLRB-PIA10, Bukidnon)

Biblical reflection

Magnet others by your good examples The Gospel of Jesus Christ (November27, 2017-Monday)John 21:114” He manifested Himself in this way. Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said

to him, “We will also come with you.” They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing. But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

We are good at the start but not until the end.

We are “ningas kugon” many times. This kind

of grass grows rapidly but dies abruptly. Take note: quitter never wins and winner never quits.

My advice; finish the jobs that you have started most especially if that is God instruction for your life on this earth. Do not quit along the way but persevere until your last breath.Matthew 24:13”But the one who endures

to the end, he will be saved. Your character is revealed in times that you are squeezed and pressured in your daily life. God is very much particular on your character rather than your prayers.

Matthew 15:8”`THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.God

Teaching computer science from elementary school through college. But teaching all students computing will require a major mind shift – mostly among old

By MARCHEL L. ABING Teacher I Lala National High School THE basic skills that we are all taught in elementary and secondary school have given us an adequate foundation to lead us through much of daily life. If you can read, you can learn and follow directions. If you can do math, you can manage your finances or have a successful business.

If you can write, you can communicate clearly and advocate for yourself or others.

But the world is changing so fast that these foundational elements of education are no longer enough.

At a time when computers increasingly control every aspect of our daily lives both on the job and at home, the lessons we teach students must adapt to where the world is going, not where it has been.

Because of this, computing education must be part of every core curriculum

wants you to move forward and be positive always no matter the situation is. You need to live as an icon for goodness because in that way; you are fishing already the souls around you. Magnet others by your good examples and let them do the same with you. Be a superstar in their lives.

To show in action is the

educators who have never learned the subject themselves.

A recent survey found that 91 percent of par-

ents want their children to study computer science.

However, only one in four schools teaches computer programming.

elected and he remains hugely popular. My prediction is his popularity will even go up from the current 80 percent,” he said.

The President’s supporters are mounting the Revolutionary Government Grand Rally from 1p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Davao Crocodile Park to encourage Duterte to declare a revolutionary government.

On November 21, President Rodrigo R. Duterte dismissed the idea of a revolutionary government.

“Ang sabi nilang revolutionary government, coup d’ etat. Huwag ninyong intindihin yan, malayo na iyan (That revolutionary government, coup d’ etat, don’t mind it. That’s impropable),” he said.

However, the president said on November 18 that he will not hesitate to declare a revolutionary government if there is any attempt to “topple” the government.

“Kung tumagilid ang bayan ko and I see revolutionaries bringing firearms on the streets, well, maybe ‘wag ka nang magdalawangisip (Do no think twice), I will declare a revolutionary government. Ayaw ko ng martial law, maraming restrictions. Todohin ko na lang. Kaya ‘wag mong gawain na (I don’t likemartial law, there’s so many restrictions. —do not do something that will cause or even attempt to topple government, Hindi ako papayag ng ganoon (I will not allow it)” he said.

supposed drug transactions, he said.

Citing intelligence reports, Castro said the couple had been allegedly financing illegal drug-related activities in the city and the neighboring areas.

He said the two were reportedly part of the El Patron Drug Group, which is considered as among the biggest drug groups in the area.

“This is a major drug network connected to groups operating in other regions.

Its sources are traced from Northern Mindanao and the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao,” he said.

The arrest of the couple came a day after three other alleged members of the El Patron Drug Group were nabbed in separate operations in nearby Maasim town in Sarangani Province.

PDEA-12 agents arrested suspects Arman Bada, 47, and wife Lovely, 37, in a search operation at their home in Poblacion, Maasim at 2:54 a.m. Sunday.

Seized from their possession were about 30 grams of suspected shabu worth around P150,000 and three bank passbooks.

At around 3:55 a.m., another alleged drug group member identified as Zaldy Ong, 58, was nabbed in a

separate search operation at his home in Poblacion, Maasim.

He reportedly yielded about 11 grams of suspected shabu with an estimated market value of P55,000.

Castro said they had long been monitoring the movements of the suspects, who supposedly peddled shabu to fishermen and seafarers.

“It was supposed to be a high-charge operation in the high seas because their clients are the seafarers and fishermen and they are widely involved in smuggling. But it was called off so we opted for search warrants,” he said.

He added that the five suspects, who are currently detained at the PDEA-12 headquarters here, would be charged with violation of Section 11 or possession of dangerous drugs under Article II of Republic Act 9165 or the Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. (MindaNews)

“There were no rules of procedure, no opportunity given to the oppositor -the Alliance for the Family Foundation Philippines, Inc. (ALFI)- to confront the evidence, and no publication of resolutions giving evidence for its decision vs. the mass of scientific evidence presented by ALFI,” the pro-life coalition revealed.

Earlier, the Supreme Court halted the full implementation of the RH Law pending the re-certification of some 51 contraceptives as “non-abortifacient,” in recognition of the Philippine Constitution’s provision protecting the life of the unborn.

Demand FDA, DOH to abide by SC ruling Pro-Life Philippines president Rita Dayrit gave the rationale behind the online petition launched by the pro-life coalition.

“Aside from the legal means, the online petition is one of the means that was decided on to move the FDA and DOH to reverse their decisions,” she explained.

Dayrit highlighted the advantages the online petition offers to the general public. “In the spirit of transparency and good governance, the online petition allows the citizens to participate in a matter of great public interest such as the distribution of contraceptives.”

According to her, deciding on something without the necessary due process and public scrutiny is “a great evil” that Filipino citizens must not allow.

“The online petition will also help other decisionmakers to know that there is a sector in the Philippines that care(s) deeply about human lives; it can compel government officials to fulfill their duties based on the Constitution,” she added.

More people sign up Dayrit acknowledged that the on-line petition initiative is already making a dent. “The FDA has

She also praised the fast pace at which the petition reached 3,200+ signatures.

“These are real persons, not ‘trolls’,” she stressed.

“But clearly, the battle is only beginning. We need to [raise] up the numbers even more if we want victory.”

The on-line petition is spearheaded by Pro-Life Philippines, the Alliance for the Family (ALFI), Filipinos for Life, Couples for Christ Foundation for Family and Life, Doctors for Life, Science and Reason for Human Beings, Youth for Life, Youth Pinoy, Love Life Philippines, Couples for Christ, Catholics for Family and Life, and Human Life International Philippines (HLI).

The Maranao are in Catch 22 situation – caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

It is high time to stop blaming the victims or the victors, if any, of the infamous Marawi war. The biggest challenge at the moment is to raise the city from the rubble and rebuild in the most judicious way the broken lives of the Maranao. Great amount of energy, understanding and cooperation is needed to accomplish this herculean task. (MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews. William R.

The spokesperson pointed out that the President even appointed some of the Reds’ comrades in key government positions and supported left-leaning party-list groups in his hometown during the elections.

He added Duterte was sincere in negotiating peace with the communists.

The termination of peace talks stemmed from the death of a four-month-old infant, who was killed in a police vehicle ambush by the NPA in Talakag, Bukidnon, despite the resumed peace talks.

The NPA claimed the act was not intentional, but the President stressed that the act of ambush had the intention to kill.

Duterte even said he was considering enlisting the communist rebels as terrorists due to the act.

Certainly, it is not to bear arms against the enemy of the State in support of its security forces; the risk is too high and unmanageable.

To rat on the enemy, on the other hand, is asking the impossible because the terrorists or the drug personalities could be members of their close-knit clan where blood is the strongest determining factor in the most demanding of transactions.
