Public service is king..., says new PNP-10 chief By GERRY LEE GORIT, Correspondent

CAGAYAN de oro City--Newly appointed regional director of the police regional office for Northern Mindanao Brig. Gen. Rolando Anduyan emphasized to the police officers in the region that “public service is king, and not them, and that law enforcers must not abuse the power and authority given to them.” Asked if he will implement a reshuffling of top PNP-10 officers, Anduyan said he will not order a revamp in the near future. “I will not order an immediate revamp. There should be due process. We need to see first what their level of capability is,” he added. Santiago was not present during the turn-over ceremony, but PNP-10 spokesperson Lt. Col. Mardy Hortillosa said the outgoing regional director chose not to attend so he can pack his

belongings in private. In an interview, Hortillosa said Santiago was being called back to the PNP headquarters to face the administrative charges filed against him before the Office of the Ombudsman. Of the four cases, three has already been dismissed by the Ombudsman, he said, although Hortillosa did not specify what those cases were. The only case Santiago is facing, Hortillosa said, is Eva’s Hotel in Kidapawan City has collapsed following the magnitude 6.5 earthquake mid-morning on Thursday. on the charges for Kidapawan City Mayor Joseph Evangelista (in black shirt) has given out orders for possible rescue operations.

2nd batch of profiled MAA IDPs receive P73K

MARAWI CITY--The second batch of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) from the most affected area profiled through Kathanor (profiling spearheaded by Task Force Bangon Marawi) have each received the P73 thousand cash assistance from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The financial assistance includes Livelihood Settlement Grant (LSG) worth P20 thousand and Transitory Family Support Package (TFSP) amounting to P53 thousand. With the LSG, IDPs can start or continue their own businesses while the TFSP is going to be used for their food, shelter, education, and other necessities. “This distribution is for the 2nd batch of IDPs in MAA. We have a target of 2,228 displaced families to be served,” said DSWD-10 Regional Director MariFlor Dollaga Libang. Libang also explained

that the releasing of Pabaon Packs for IDPs is still on hold due to the ongoing delivery of the said assistance from Manila to Region 10. She assured that when the delivery is completed, the agency would cater to every profiled IDP. The displaced families also received the 30 kilos of rice donated by the Taiwan government through the World Vision Philippines. “We are ver y much thankful for this indispensable help from DSWD,” said Nasser Solaiman of Banggolo, Marawi City. Nairah Mustapha of Bubong Lilod Madaya expressed her gratitude to DSWD, as the assistance will be a great help, especially that she is about to give birth to her child. The assistance for the residents of the least affected area and renters of MAA are still being processed. (LEAntonio/ PIA ICCC)

3 Allianz PNB Life Partners with eSakay in Promoting an Environmentally-Sustainable Way to Commute FOR ADS PLACEMENT CALL OR TEXT: 0917-712-1424 • 0947-893-5776

Allianz PNB Life, the world’s most sustainable insurer for three years running, recently partnered with eSakay to launch seven Electric-jeepneys (or E-jeepneys) that currently ply the Makati and Mandaluyong routes. “Allianz has always been supportive of environmental sustainability. Through these E-jeepneys, we are offering Filipinos cleaner and greener alternatives to get to their destina-tions within two major business areas in Metro Manila,” said Allianz PNB Life President and Chief Executive Officer Alexander Grenz. eSakay is the electric vehicle unit of Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), and they introduced E-jeepneys back in 2010, according to its operations head, Yuri Sarmiento. “At that time, we started the Green Route here in Makati, covering Legaspi and Salcedo Village. We initially had three vehicles that provided free rides. Now, we are glad that with the help of companies such as Allianz PNB Life, we are able to sustain our efforts in tran-sitioning to green alternatives of mass transportation,” Sarmiento said. He added that the initial objective for the deployment was to present an alternative techno-logy to run vehicles that can help address the problem of air pollution. “In the Philippines, we have 5,000 deaths every year due to environmental diseases, and 70% of our CO2 emission comes from mobile vehicles. If we cut down the emissions, we can also cut down the pollution problem in the country, especially here in the city,” Sar-miento added.

Kalag-Kalag and coping with quakes Charlotte, North Carolina—Do we call it happy Kalag Kalag (Soul, Soul) or Happy All Souls Day? I don’t know exactly because it boils down to a question of whether or not we are happy for the dead. It all depends, I guess, on how each of us consider it based on our own perception. We pray for the souls of all those who died ahead of us among the believers . For me, I have happy memories of Kalag-Kalag while growing up. It’s the same feeling with my cousin Gerva Tagapulot Celeredad who’s now based in Davao. Let me pray then for the eternal repose of the soul of Sergio Yap, father of Asst. Secretary Yoyoc Yap of the Department of Justice (DOJ). Likewise for the soul of classmate and neighbor Roy Paduganan and all departed souls that need our love through prayers. And back to the living. Last Tuesday’s (Oct. 29) earthquake and the resulting panic is not new. Way back in 2014 if I am not mistaken there was also a strong earthquake that shook Cagayan de Oro and caused aftershocks that rattled a lot of nerves in

the city. Mindanao had been hit by earthquakes and the experience had been worsened due to social media some of whose users are so irresponsible that they spread rumors like wildfire resulting in a lot of panicked netizens whose loved ones live in Mindanao. These irresponsible social media users spread these rumors with no iota of evidence to back up their claim and yet a lot of people will believe them as though they are an authority in seismology, the field of science that focuses on earthquakes and related ground/seismic activities. I experienced my share of earthquakes. I remembered one in July 16 1992 in Manila with my classmate Honey Velez. Earthquakes are beyond the control of humanity. We can do nothing except to always be prepared and to somehow mitigate its effects. What we can do is to penalize those that spread fake news of an earthquake that has yet to occur because there is practically no device on Earth that can predict the occurrence of an earthquake. We cannot stop the

spread of fake news merely by posting that these are unverified and thus dangerously alarmist. We must go after these peddlers of lies, jail them and charge them with public alarm and scandal or any case that will make them regret spreading their manufactured lies to the public. Agencies in charge of handling disaster risk reduction management should take the lead in filing charges against these malicious liars while assuring and reminding the public on what to do in case of earthquakes. Whenever an earthquake occurs, people should not make false claims that another one will occur immediately based on geographical data of fault lines, ring of fire and so on. Those claims we have heard of before. Taking the statements of seismologists out of context will only result in panic which is the last thing we need. True there are active fault lines in Misamis Oriental such as those in the towns of Villanueva, Tagoloan, Claveria and even in Cagayan de Oro. What had been done by the Disaster Risk Reduction

Susan Palmes-Dennis

Management Office because I have not read any notice or information in social media about this. Here in the US, there are schools that often conduct safety drills on their students and faculty in case of emergencies like fires and earthquakes. There are also coordinators with corresponding responsibilities to ensure the safety of those they are in charge of. Municipal governments especially those in Tagoloan and Villanueva should be especially vigilant about this. Due to the presence of a fault line in Tagoloan, my son-in-law Ed Baisas is reluctant to live there and the ever present threat of an earthquake is like a Damocles sword hanging over the heads of those residents. If they cannot rely on the government to give them accurate information on how to cope with earthquakes then it behooves the affected residents to make their own research and preparations while avoiding fake news in social media.

Think A Minute

Marks of maturity Think a minute. A little boy lost a footrace at school, so he came home angry and jealous of the other kids who won ahead of him. His father saw his son’s bad attitude and said: “Son, anybody can be kind when they win! That’s easy! But when you lose, and you are still kind to the winners, then you are on your way to becoming a mature human being.” Today and tomorrow we will look at some marks of true maturity. Self-control of our physical desires and drives is one mark of our maturity. “The man who can master himself can master everything else.” A mature person controls his body instead of allowing his body to control him. This is true of any physical appetite, whether it is for pleasure, comfort, food, or even rest. Mature people do not live life ruled by their urges and impulses, since they do not need instant gratification to be happy. A mature person also has self-control in the area of honesty. Some people have a good reputation, but not a good character. They give in public, but cheat and steal in private. A mature person, however, is controlled by his conscience and what he knows is right, not by what he can get away with. So even if no

one will ever know he lied, stole or did something wrong, he still will not do it, because he himself will know, and he never wants to lose his own self-respect, good character and conscience. “A mature man disciplines himself so others don’t have to.” His honest character and conscience steer him through every temptation, pressure, and problem, so he does not lose his way or his honor and integrity. A mature person also has self-control of his emotions. You can tell how strong a man is by how much it takes to make him upset and lose control of his anger. “The more you grow up, the less you blow up.” A mature person masters his moods and understands that “The results of anger are usually worse than the cause of it.” Nothing is important enough to become so angry we deeply hurt, damage, or even destroy those we love and care about. ************* It’s been said:”The human race has improved everything except the human race.” Sadly, some of us remain immature all of our lives, so we are almost like boys and girls living in adult bodies. A major mark of maturity is self-control. And one of the

hardest things for us humans to control is our tongue and words. We have tamed huge wild animals like elephants, whales, and lions, but we still have not tamed that little muscle in our mouth that can be a deadly weapon which hurts or even destroys relationships and reputations. “Words don’t break bones, just hearts.” So the first step is to think first. Stop and think about what you’re going to say. Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? The second step is to talk less. You have a far less chance of hurting others, and yourself, if your mouth is open less. Sometimes the best statement we can make is our silence. Remember the rule, “Less is more.” We can actually say more by talking less. Those who have the most to say usually say it with the fewest words. Another mark of maturity is living controlled by your life’s purpose and priorities, so you do not waste much of your time and life on merely temporary fun and leisure. Rather, you want to use your abilities, time and resources to make the lives of your family, friends and people around you better. Mature people live for something greater than just themselves. They are givers,

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

not takers. “At the end of our life, we will find that the only things we lost were what we tried to keep to ourselves.” Strong, mature people do not need to have their own way to be happy. They understand that we receive more happiness from making others happy. “We humans grow tired of the happiness we take, but never of the happiness we give.” It’s only when we give our life away by helping others that we find real life. Remember, Jesus shows us the perfect model of maturity, and gives us the power we need to follow His example. He is the only One Who can enable you to reach your full potential as the mature human being He created you to be. Jesus said: “I did not come to be served, but to serve and give away my life for others.” So won’t you ask Him to forgive you for your wrong, self-centered living? Then ask Him to take charge of your heart, character and way of living? It is the only way you can truly grow to become all that He designed you to be. Just think a minute.

LABOR Secretary Silvestre Bello III has dispatched senior labor officials and quick response teams to areas in Mindanao hardly hit by the 6.5 magnitude earthquake Thursday morning. Bello said the teams will assess the extent of destruction in workplaces and possible displacement of workers in the affected areas. “I have sent Undersecretary Ana Dione and Assistant Secretary Benjo Santos Benavidez to proceed to General Santos City, and Davao City to lead our regional DOLE officials in the assessment of the situation,” He said. He added: “This Sunday, I will personally fly to Davao City to see the extent of the damage and its effect on the employment of our kababayans.” He said he is bringing along executive director Noel Binag of the Occupational Safety and Health Center for the safety assessment of affected workplaces. Reports noted that Cotabato, Kidapawan City, and neighboring areas were severely damaged by the 6.5

magnitude earthquake. Bello added that they have yet to receive reports on job displacements of the workers in the affected areas. He said this will be one of the priority tasks of the response teams while profiling of the workers will follow. He also said labor inspectors were already deployed to check the compliance of establishments on occupational safety and health standards and ensure the safety of the workers. The labor chief said after the assessment of the extent of the damage, the department is set to allocate funds to provide emergency employment assistance to the affected workers and livelihood assistance to informal sector workers. “We have received a directive from the President to monitor and provide appropriate assistance to the earthquake affected cities. Even when the first earthquake jolted Mindanao early this month, we have already deployed our team to provide assistance for the affected workers,” Bello added. -- ###Paul Ang

SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Aurora C. Ignacio said the organization’s wide range of products and services and good financial management makes them qualified as an accredited partner agent. “We select organized groups that are highly capable of handling SSS transactions for its members and have shown their dedication to assist SSS in bringing the much-needed social security protection to workers in the informal sector,” Ignacio said. The Bataan-based cooperative was established in Balanga City in 2006 and currently provides savings, lending, and social programs and support services to more than 1,600 members. To date, CEmBa is the 28th accredited PA in Luzon.

First cardiac rehab in Mindanao opens in CDO CARDIOVASCULAR diseases are one of the leading noncommunicable illnesses in the country today (which includes our region Northern Mindanao). Despite the vast number of persons afflicted with cardiovascular cases, there is not one rehabilitation facility that takes care of them here. Until now. To much applause of the local medical community here in Cagayan de Oro, Strong Heart Cardiac Rehabilitation Center opened its doors starting September this year. Located along Gusa National Highway exactly across Capitol University Medical Center, Strong Heart Cardiac Rehabilitation Center offers sessions of various durations depending on one’s ailment. A patient who just underwent bypass surgery can avail of a month worth of therapy while persons who had heart failures and those undergoing dialysis need

two months of intensive therapy. According to founderproprietor and certified cardiac rehab nurse Rachel Ubaldo, the 12 to 18 sessions will be done twice a week depending on the program. They cater to patients with coronar artery disease, heart failure experience, intradialytic patients and those that underwent bypass, angioplasty, post-valve surgery, post-congenital heart surgery and cardiac obesity as well as athletes who experienced cardiac events. Ubaldo – who is based in Australia and whose family is already based there – founded Strong Heart Rehabilitation Center, moved by the fact that her own homeland doesn’t have any adequate therapy facility for cardiac patients. “For years, I’ve been catering to cardiac patients here in Australia. It’s now time to give home,” she said. Aside from being based in Australia now, Ubaldo also had years of

experience in the field of cardiac therapy in the Philippines, the United Kingdom and Singapore. So why is cardiac rehabilitation is important? Cardiac rehabilitation can reduce hospital readmissions and death after a coronary event by as

much as 56 percent. It can cause to accelerate recovery, improves clinical outcomes (cholesterol levels, blood pressure), improves behavioral outcomes (exercise tolerance, smoking cessation, etc.) strengthens adherence to education and enhances

mental health and quality of life. Here in Strong Heart Cardiac Rehabilitation Center, therapy is personalized. The cardiac rehab team is led by consultant Dr. Lilian Ville Bacalso, cardiac rehab nurse Rachel Ubaldo, cardiac rehab

physiotherapist Chad Trinidad and cardiac rehab clinical pharmacist Jereyca Memoracion (who ensures that the patient is taking the proper medication). Cardiac rehabilitation – it’s an important part of recovery after a heart event.

Collapsed condo in Davao advised for condemnation: Mayor Sara By CHE PALICTE

DAVAO CITY – Administrators of the Ecoland Residences 4000 Condominium in Talomo here, were advised to vacate the building right before the 6.5 magnitude earthquake that hit the city on Thursday morning. Mayor Sara Z. Duterte, in a press briefing Thursday, said the City Engineer’s Office (CEO) visited the building on Wednesday and recommended to its administrators that it should be condemned. She said the administrator of the building acceded to the condemnation order

but claimed that some of the occupants opted to stay because they don’t have other places to live. Duterte also clarified that right after the October 16 and October 29 tremors, they have submitted three written notices to the Ecoland Residences 4000 administrator about the problem of their building. “I talked to the building administrator and she said that they heeded the order of the CEO but have allowed occupants who opted to stay,” she said. Ecoland Residences 4000 condominium is a five-story building with 56 units

though only about 15 to 20 occupants were in the area during the tremor. As to the liability of the developer, Mayor Duterte said it will be discussed by the City Legal Office since they already submitted three written notices and have advised its condemnation. “If we saw evidence of their negligence, we will take legal action. We have not discussed the waiver since the recommendation of the CEO is condemnation, meaning that building cannot be occupied by people,” she added. She also advised the occupants to seek legal counsel

The Pang of Discipline A judgmental picture of a student today is stubborn, indolent, carefree, undirected, etc. Anyone of us has one way or the other has thought of this distorted scenario. There may be a truth that these characters among teens prevail. The sad thing is they becoming real today. Most often than not, cases aired on TV, radio and social media sensationalized students “in black and blue”, “bruised” and “maltreated”. The accused? No less than the teachers who were trying to dig out their versions of discipline. Way back the colonial Spanish regime, our ancestors had better educational capacity though their teachers inflicted corporal punishment as discipline strategy. They who suffered in the hands of these cruel teachers ended up more disciplined. Based on the principle of locu parentis, teachers are second parents and the school serves as second home. Some educators defend that as real parents spank their own children to enforce discipline, then, there’s no reason for a teacher not to do likewise. Teachers are

said to be professionals who can manage to do what is rightful discipline or not. Discipline is often associated with pain. Be it physical or emotional attack, still there is this pang inside. If there’s other way of giving painless discipline, then why not apply such? If you can tame students without using an iron hand then you are indeed a good classroom manager. We can’t blame the Human Rights Advocates for the child abuse cases filed against teachers, for there are times that some teachers went beyond their selfcontrol. Parents received bigger claim for having raised such undisciplined children. What exactly exists now is a crooked, obstinate, generation because along the modernization of the society is the degradation of values. If one can live according to the times yet still in touch with sound moral values, then no one needs to be forcefully disciplined by anyone…primarily because everybody has developed the RIGHT DISCIPLINE WITHIN.

if they wanted to file a case against the developer of the building. Duterte also offered the evacuation site in Los Amigos, Tugbok as a temporary place to stay for the Ecoland Residences 4000 displaced occupants. As of press time, Duterte confirmed that nine occupants of the condominium had been injured, eight of whom were treated on-site while one was brought to the hospital. She added that rescue operation is ongoing. The city government also announced that a life detector machine from the disaster volunteer “Knight Hawk Group” has been offered to help the rescue team determine the possibility of any survivor trapped in the collapsed building. “Coast Guard cadaver sniffing dogs are also helping the rescue operations. Our rescuers did not hear anybody from the collapsed building asking for help,” Duterte said. Mayor Duterte has suspended classes at all levels in the city both in private and public schools from October 31 to November 4, 2019. Meanwhile, the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) confirmed that there is no reported fatality and missing persons in the city and that the Ecoland Residences 4000 is the only reported severely damaged infrastructure.

CAPTURING THE ELUSIVE PEACE By DANNY ALUMBRO LABADAN School Head Tuburan National High School

Peace. It is a condition where an individual enjoy friendly relations with others, untroubled by disputes. It is also a state where man is free from noise, worries, troubles, fears, war and fights. A familiar word, but remains a strange condition. The people, the nations, and the whole world are all, but wanting and longing for peace. We need peace. It becomes an ultimate goal way back from the days of yore to the contemporary world of today. The longing and the search have been wearisome for we’ve been waiting for something not doomed to come. Early people tried to achieve peace but then more wars, worse than ever are born. War of tribe against tribe, city against city, dynasty against dynasty, kingdom against kingdom, empire against empire, nation against nation until the first World War roared the earth and seconded by the more devastating World War II. Even though peace-keeping organiza-

tions have at least managed to prevent war, still we failed to achieve peace in the very sense of the word. War continues killing thousands in a single strike. Now, the chance for peace becomes smaller every day. There will come a day when it becomes a dream far from reality. We need peace very much, but it is nowhere to be found. But how can we achieve world peace when there’s no peace within us? We are at war with ourselves, daily battling between good and evil. What we are trying to curtail is the literal war but little did we know that it rooted from the war within ourselves. To solve the war may not be the starting point, rather let us first learn to discipline and tame ourselves so we can lessen the war that hurdles us. The seed of peace must be planted within and let it grow in us. If we cannot stop our own war, then there’s no way out for peace to truly exist.

Comfort and Tech Features Apart from being environmentally friendly, the E-jeepneys also offer a more comfortable way to travel. Each vehicle can seat 23 people and accommodate 8 to 10 people standing. Each vehicle is equipped with a dash cam, GPS tracking system, and CCTV cameras to ensure passengers’ safety.

It also comes with multiple fans and offers its passengers internet access. The vehicles also come with USB ports, so there is no need to worry about phone batteries running low for passengers onboard. “We are also developing software that would allow passengers to download an app so that they can monitor the vehicles,” Sarmiento said. eSakay will soon be launching an electronic payment system as well. Currently, passen-gers pay their fares in cash. The minimum fare is PhP9, the same as that of regular jeepneys. Apart from the Makati and Mandaluyong routes, there are plans to bring the E-jeepneys to Pampanga next year.

BPI exec eyes 50% of clients in digital platform by yearend By JOANN VILLANUEVA

MANILA -- An official of the Ayala-led Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) said he hopes that half of their account holders would shift to digital transactions by the end of the year. In a briefing on Tuesday, BPI Chief Operating Officer Ramon Jocson said they have 8.5 million accounts, 1.8 million of which have passbooks. Jocson said new account holders usually access the bank’s electronic channels once they open their accounts. “The challenge for us is for those who have accounts with us, ATM (automated teller machines) accounts that have not gotten to the branches yet to apply for an online account,” he said. Jocson, however, said that once the account holders realize the advantage of accessing the digital platform, “the adoption is quite fast.”

BPI President and CEO Cezar Consing and IBM Asia Pacific Chairman and CEO Harriet Green are all smiles as they seal their organizations’ US$260-million partnership with a handshake. Looking on from behind are Ramon Jocson, chief operations officer, BPI Enterprises Services Segment; Pilar Bernadette Maquez, head of BPI IT Services Group; Aileen Judan-Jiao, IBM Philippines president and country general manager; and Peter Campbell, general manager, IBM Asia Pacific Global Business Services Strategic Sales.

“But it (the challenge) is “So our target right now by the end of the year,” he really trying to reach out to is to get to at least 50 percent added. them to involve them,” he (of the account holders to Domestic banks are use the digital platform) said. See EYES, page 11

Global economic outlook depends on path charted by nations RIYADH -- Underlining that economic uncertainty is an offshoot of “unbalanced” multilateral trade systems, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asserted that the global economic outlook is strongly dependent on the path charted by large developing countries, such as India and Saudi Arabia. Earlier this month, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has downgraded its outlook for the world economy, predicting that the growth this year will be the weakest since the 2008 financial crisis, primarily because of widening global conflicts, including the USChina trade war. The forecast predicts global growth of 3 percent this year, down 0.2 percentage point from its previous forecast in July and sharply below the 3.6 percent growth of 2018. “The global economic outlook is strongly dependent on the path chartered by the large developing countries, such as India. We need collective efforts, for the growth of all, with

everyone’s trust,” Prime Minister Modi said in an interview published in the Arab News on Tuesday. The economic uncertainty, Modi noted, is an “offshoot of unbalanced multilateral trade systems”. “Within the G20, India and Saudi Arabia have been working together to reduce inequality and promote sustainable development,” he said. Replying to a question on what Asian countries, including Saudi Arabia and India, can do to mitigate the effects of the global economic downturn, Modi said both the nations have undertaken various business reforms. “India has undertaken many reforms to create a business-friendly environment, and to ensure that we remain a major driver of global growth and stability. Similarly, I am happy to note that Saudi Arabia too has embarked upon a reform program as part of their Vision 2030,” the prime minister said. See DEPENDS, page 11

keeping up with technological innovations and changes in the financial landscape to ensure they are able to fully cater to their clients. Asked how much BPI has allocated for their technology-related spending, Jocson declined to give specific figures, noting that “it is a part of our whole IT (information technology) budget.” He said major banks in Asia allocate about 7.5 percent to 8 percent of their total revenues to IT budget. “We also allocate about the same level,” Jocson said, noting, however, that “within that, we now have to mix digital finances with that of other IT-related expenditures.” “We have to mix that because it’s very hard also to overspend,” he added. On Tuesday, the bank launched its digital ecosystem, which has two components -- Open Banking and BPI Digital Platforms. BPI Chief Digital Officer Noel Santiago said open banking is “far reaching and with near-limitless possibilities.” “We are capitalizing on this to grow our network of trusted partners so that clients can easily and conveniently transact via one app or website,” he said.

Apo (This is the first time that I saw the ground of Mt. Apo burst open.)” Dumantay belongs to one of the 1,112 households, majority of whom are residing inside the foothills of Mt. Apo, who evacuated to the barangay center of Ilomavis for fear of getting trapped in the landslides, according to the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Center (CDRRMC). Of this number, leaders from the 10 puroks comprising the barangay estimated that 346 houses suffered major damage. The exact number of houses that are totally destroyed has yet to be determined as the CDRRMC has yet to do assessment of the area. “Ambot unsaon nako pagbalik sa among balay nga naguba na man daw (I don’t know how to go back to our house as accordingly it is already destroyed),” said Merlyn Nalas, 53, also a resident of Purok 6. “Maghulat ra ’mi kung unsa’y isulti ni Mayor (We will just wait for the by K-9 dogs to help find possible survivors trapped amidst the rubble.

advice of the Mayor),” Nalas said when asked when they plan to go back to their houses. She added, “Na-trauma ko (I am traumatized).” Two days into the evacuation center, evacuees are lining up the nearby barangay health station where the City Health Office and the Love Jan Foundation are giving medical ser vices. The volunteer nurse said that on the second day, some 133 patients sought their assistance. Common complaints were high blood pressure, cough and colds. Emergency assistance, including food packs and sleeping gears, have been distributed. A water relief system was installed as well. Dumantay, Nalas and other evacuees from Mt. Apo are hoping that assistance will be given to

them so they rebuild their houses, or the provision of a relocation site where they could build their new homes. Ilomavis, a barangay named from the coinage of the names of the three ethnolinguistic groups present in the area—Ilocano, Manobo and Visayan—is 21 kilometers from Kidapawan City. Seventy percent of its population are Manobos. As of October 31, before another magnitude 6.5 earthquake hit the area, the CDRRMC identified other evacuation sites in the vicinity of Mt. Apo as Sitio Lapan Elementar y School in Barangay Perez with 35 household-evacuees, and Nuangan covered court in Barangay Nuangan with 14 household-evacuees. (Jules L. Benitez / MindaNews)
