Jasaan, Misamis Oriental, arrived at the Laguindingan airport from Manila on Monday, said Nicole Managbanag, the provincial information officer.

Managbanag said Daaca died in Qatar due to an acute asthma and had to be frozen to preserve her body by the hospital where she was confined.

The exact date of her death was yet to be determined, but the Philippine authorities in Qatar said she had been in a frozen state since mid-September.

CAGAYAN de Oro City--A police official yesterday said the offense of a local disaster official in Misamis Oriental who was arrested for alleged possession of illegal drugs is bailable. Senior Insp. Gilbert Rollen, head of the City Drug Enforcement Unit (CDEU), said that the Misamis Oriental Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officer II Vergil Lago only had 0.36 grams of shabu in his possession when police swooped down on him. According to the blotter at CDEU, Lago was allegedly caught in the act with one unsealed sachet and another sealed sachet containing shabu, four used aluminum foils, four unused foils and three lighters when police raided the room that he rented at Wilshire Inn along Apolinar Velez Street, this city, last Tuesday morning. Rollen said they arrested Lago following the report of an informant, who said a tenant staying at the hotel Senator JV Ejercito conveys his message of gratitude during his visit at Barangay Sto. Nino, Bayugan City.

CAGAYAN de Oro City-The police regional office has reminded owners of guns to renew their firearms to avoid being charged with illegal possession of firearms. Chief Insp. Roger Albacete, chief of the Region Civil Security Unit (RCSU) of the Philippine National Police in Region 10 (PNP10), said now is the best time for gun owners to renew their firearms. In Northern Mindanao, the number of firearms that are yet to be renewed had gone down from 31,648 to 24,432 as of September of this year, he said. The RCSU cannot give the exact number of registered gun owners in the region, but Albacete said most of them possess at least one short firearm. “Many of them (gun owners) use firearms for shooting competitions only,” he said, adding that since Mindanao is under the martial rule, it would See fireamrs, page 11

Mindanao railway to benefit farmers in remote areas: JV By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN Contributing Editor

BAYUGAN City--Senator JV Ejercito said the much awaited multi-billion pesos Mindanao Railway Network project, which implementation starts next year would surely benefit villagers in

the far-flung areas of this province. The pro administration lawmaker made this assurance during his recent visit to Barangay Sto. Niño of this city , a far-flung mountain village, with the invitation of Governor Adolph Edward

Plaza to celebrate the festivities of the residents. “I am very glad and elated to learn that I am the first Senator to visit Barangay Sto. Nino here in Bayugan City. With the construction of the Mindanao railway system, the least benefited

citizen here will have the opportunity to develop because it will be much easier to transport your products from one point in Mindanao to another point riding on a train,” Ejercito said. With the realization of See benefit, page 11

‘Timbayayong’ brings water to waterless areas mark francisco, Section Editor EDITOR: SAIRA E. GUMISING

October 12, 2017

THE ongoing repair of the 650mm diameter pipeline of COWD’s bulk supplier has rendered many parts of the west service area of the water district waterless for about 2 weeks now. These areas are Lumbia, Canitoan, Pagatpat, Upper Carmen, Patag, Bulua, Iponan and Opol. Some had very little to no pressure while some had to solely rely on water delivery for their daily needs. Aside from COWD’s two tankers, Rio Verde also provided one while the Bureau of Fire Protection-CDO and Opol allocated fire trucks for this. Cepalco, Limketkai and even the members of the Volunteer Fire Brigade unselfishly provided the much needed support to COWD in one of its most challenging times after Tropical Storm

Sendong hit the city and damaged the water district’s major facilities and service connections. It was learned that COWD provided the water, fuel for the tankers and snacks for the firefighters participating in the civic volunteerism event. Alth0ough water from COWD is safe for drinking, it has nevertheless advised its customers to boil water to ensure water safety since contamination may occur during transport, handling and storage. According to Engr. Hapitan of RVWCI, the repair is expected to be completed on October 15 while restoration of normal water supply to the affected areas is expected a day after. Since yesterday, though, an improvement of water pressure has been Lumbia residents fill er up from Cepalco's FT-03 Tanker.

THE Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has significantly helped its member-states achieved economic progress, a Vietnamese senior economic official said. At the Public Symposium on Economic Integration and Nation Building held in Manila recently, Dr. Vo Tri Thanh, former vice president and a senior expert of the Central Institute for Economic Management of Viet Nam, praised ASEAN for pushing its memberstates to aim for sustainability, inclusiveness, and innovation. The symposium is one of the commemorative outreach activities organized by state think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) and Jakartabased Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) to celebrate ASEAN’s 50th anniversary this year. It aims to enhance the engagement of stakeholders of ASEAN on economic issues to promote a better understanding of the ASEAN economic integration. ‘Meaningful playing field’ According to Vo, the regional bloc has served as a “meaningful playing

field” for Southeast Asian countries to explore their comparative advantages, participate in the global market, and advance domestic reforms. “In the case of Viet Nam, for instance, ASEAN has allowed us to see the best performers in the region, like Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia, and align our economic targets based on their performance,” Vo explained. He likewise revealed that this year alone, Viet Nam expects 20,000 new private enterprises through the intervention of ASEAN. Viet Nam became part of the ASEAN in 1995, prior its membership to other regional organizations, such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in 1998 and World Trade Organization in 2007. “That time, we did not have deep understanding of the relevance of international integration, economic integration, free trade arrangement,” Vo said. Viet Nam, however, later on realized the need for a good neighbor to advance peace and stability. “Before, when we look at Thailand or the Philippines, we thought they were not our friends but our enemies

ASEAN praised for instigating success in region as they were enjoying the support of the US army to fight against Viet Nam. Now, we have a region with, more or less, peace and stability, which is the foundation of everything,” he explained. ASEAN urged to retreat from protectionism In the case of the Philippines, PIDS President Gilberto Llanto said the ASEAN has helped the country advance economic reforms and liberalism, especially among small and medium enterprises (SMEs). “SMEs are crucial because they are at the core of our respective economies in terms of share of total establishments and share of total employment, and even in terms of share of gross domestic product,” according to Llanto. A 2014 ERIA report revealed that ASEAN SMEs accounted for at least 95 percent of all registered businesses in the region, except in Myanmar, where they made up more than 88 percent of the enterprises. In the Philippines alone, 99.6 percent of all registered enterprises were SMEs in 2014. As such, the Philippine Development Plan tagged SMEs as the country’s vehicle for inclusive growth.

Llanto likewise encouraged member-states not to retreat to protectionism, and instead appreciate SMEs as good vehicle for economic integration within the ASEAN. He highlighted the ASEAN Strategic Action Plan for SME Development 2016-2025, which aims to enhance the competitiveness and flexibility of SMEs in moving toward a single market and production base in ASEAN. “There should be a convergence, a catch-up, and one way to catch up would be to promote SMEs,” he explained. However, Llanto revealed that ASEAN SMEs continue to suffer from several issues that hamper their growth, such as lack of access to relevant technologies and information, limited marketing skills and management capacity, high business costs, inability to comply to standards, and limited attention to innovation. He explained these are also the reasons behind the inability of the SMEs to participate in the global value chain. Llanto urged the member-states to improve the regulatory environment in the region, as well as to harmonize the rules and to push for the translation

of ASEAN-wide plans to national policies. “There is also a need to review and even revoke regulations which constrict investment flows and increased cost of doing business,” Llanto explained, citing the guillotine project in Viet Nam, which chops down regulations unnecessary and constrain businesses and investments. BIMP-EAGA as a ‘building block’ for ASEAN Meanwhile, Dr. Janet Lopoz, executive director of the Mindanao Development Authority, urged ASEAN to maximize the potentials of the Brunei DarussalamIndonesia-Malaysia- Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) as a building block toward achieving ASEAN economic integration. BIMP-EAGA is one of the subregional cooperation initiatives currently found within Southeast Asia, along with the IndonesiaMalaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle and the Greater Mekong Subregion. According to the Mindanao official, the said subregion hosts a big number of SMEs and is positioning itself to become the agribusiness and food hub of ASEAN.

In t he Phi lippines, BIMP-EAGA’s focus area is Mindanao, which supplies more than half of the country’s food requirement. Lopoz urged the ASEAN to appreciate BIMP-EAGA as a practical test bed for economic integration given its countries’ proximity to one another, cultural affinity, and historical trade practices. She added this will likewise ensure that the benefits of ASEAN integration will be inclusive and will accrue not only to the big players but also for the focus areas of the BIMP-EAGA, which are considered the least developed in their respective countries. Lopoz explained BIMPEAGA is currently setting up food production zones in different regional corridors, such as in Mindanao, Sabah, Sarawak, and Sulawesi, Indonesia. These production zones will later on be linked through the EAGA inter-modal transport linkages to lower the cost of production. “We have to start the connectivity within the subregional groupings within the ASEAN and interlink it to the rest of ASEAN, which is more practical,” See sUCCESS, page 10

From Maute to military, police custody: hostage survivors await reunion with families By Carolyn O. Arguillas MindaNews

MARAWI City--Seventeen hostages of the Maute Group were reported rescued by the military at around 2 a.m. Wednesday, October 4, Day 135 of the Marawi Crisis. As of 6 p.m. Tuesday, October 10, the 17 survivors, whose names have yet to be revealed, were still in military custody. Asked when the survivors would be reunited with their families, Lt. Gen. Carlito Galvez, chief of the Western Mindanao Command told a press briefing on Monday that their plan is “Tuesday or Wednesday.” He said arrangements have been made, including travel details and who will fetch or receive them. As of 6 p.m. Tuesday, however, there were no indications the hostage survivors had been reunited with their families. On Saturday, Col. Romeo Brawner, deputy commander of Joint Task Force Ranao told a press briefing that the families of the survivors had been informed and mobile phones were lent to them so they could talk with their loved ones. He gave scant details about the survivors: nine males and eight females, their ages ranging from 18 to 75. He did acknowledge a reporter’s query about the five female teachers of Dansalan College as among the 17. “We understand that the relatives of the hostages are worried about their relatives but we want to assure their family and friends na yung mga na-rescue po natin na hostages ay treated well by the troops and the police,” Brawner said, adding the hostages are still “going through a process,” including medical attention and “aside from that, we have to determine their involvement also in this crisis lalo na po yung mga lalaki (especially the men). Some of them were forced to handle weapons especially

at night.” He could not say when the survivors would be set free. “We cannot give you a specific number of days. It depends really on the situation,” he said. During the press briefing on Monday, Brawner showed a flowchart of the “process” that survivors have to go through once they are out of the war zone: medical and physical examination to determine the person’s condition and if he or she would require further medical attention; determination of their involvement in terrorism which is to be done by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) of the Philippine National Police; and if cleared by the CIDG, they are turned over to the Marawi City government and the Provincial Crisis Management Committee. He said most of the survivors were still undergoing the CIDG stage. Asked if there was an instance where a former hostage was not cleared by the CIDG, Galvez replied, “lahat ng hostages cleared.” Galvez told MindaNews Tuesday night that the CIDG is “still processing” the male survivors. 23 since Sept. 16 A total of 23 hostages have been reported rescued since September 16, including Father Teresito “CHito” Soganub, the Vicar General ot the Prelature of Marawi and Catholic chaplain of the Mindanao State University, and a male teacher of Dansalan College on September 16; four hostages on September 21; and the 17 on October 4. Fr. Chito’s family in Norala, South Cotabato found out about his escape and rescue on September 16 only through media reports. The military kept mum on September 16 but the Prelature of Marawi, citing sources from the military, issued a press statement that same day welcoming the news of Fr. Chito’s freedom. The military broke its silence

only when they presented the priest briefly in a press conference afternoon on September 17. Fr. Chito is undergoing trauma healing but remains in military custody nearly a month since he got out of the war zone . Late evening on September 21, the wife of one of the four rescued hostages told MindaNews several persons had informed her that her husband and companions were already out of the war zone and were in the custody of the military. On September 23, she was still waiting for official confirmation from the military that, indeed, her husband was among the four. Galvez told MindaNews in a text message on September 23 that they had spoken with the family. “They (hostage survivors) have to undergo thorough debriefing to save other 40 plus remaining hostages,” “Kung release tayo nang release without debriefing, paano na yung iba?” (If we release and release without debriefing, what will happen to the other hostages), Galvez asked. The husband and his three companions were released from military custody on September 25. Samira Ali Gutoc of the Ranaw Rescue Team said survivors should be endorsed “not to the Army at first instance but to doctor, psychosocial counselor with Meranao background for documentation.” Protocol Asked what the protocol is in handling hostages who had escaped or had been rescued, Brawner replied: “when 17 hostages were rescued, immediately they were given medical attention, they went through a medical check up just like with Fr. Soganub and four others. Ganon po kaagad. That is the very first thing we do. Medical check up to determine if they (have) medical requirements.” He said during the check up, one of the 17 was found

to have required medical attention and was airlifted the same day to the Camp Evangelista Station Hospital in Cagayan de Oro but was later brought back to Marawi after treatment. Brawner said relatives were informed “right away” that their loved ones were out of the war zone. “That same morning, the relatives of the hostages were informed. In fact they were lent celfones so that they could personally speak with their relatives,” he said. Galvez explained they want to ensure survivors are attended to because “mas mahirap yung kanilang dinanas kaysa IDPs (their suffering is worse than the internally displaced persons)… Doble, doble depressing.” He cited the need for trauma healing and employment, He said many are helping the soldiers and IDPs but the hostage survivors need help as ewll. “I am appealing to generous Filipinos to help our hostages to recover and put their lives together again,” Galvez said. “40 to 60” Brawner said information from those who were rescued indicate the Maute Group is still holding “between 40 to 60” hostages

and there are still “38 to 48” Maute Group members in the main battle area that now comprises “between five to seven hectares.” Brawner on Monday acknowledged that the “40 to 60” estimate refers to the non-combatants, the 31 hostages and “31 to 33” Maute dependents Galvez was referring to. Galvez said they treat the dependents of the Maute Group as non-combatants. “They are civilians so they are not subjected to military operations,” he said, adding, “as much as possible, we want to isolate them so they will not become collateral (damage). That’s our rule of engagement.” Galvez also noted that while the Maute leaders and Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon, are still in Marawi along with “six to nine” foreign terrorists, the size of the main battle area is now down to “four to five hectares” and he is confident that the fighting would be over by October 15 as targeted. As of 7 p.m. on Sunday, 774 enemies, 47 civilians and 158 soldiers had been killed since clashes between government forces and the Maute Group started on May 23. Two more soldiers died

on Monday, bringing to 160 the total number of soldiers killed in action as of Day 140 of the Marawi Crisis. (Carolyn O. Arguillas / MindaNews)

18 bodies found in Marawi City By Froilan Gallardo MindaNews

ILIGAN City--The military said they recovered 18 decomposing bodies in Marawi City on Tuesday inside a building near the area where ISIS-inspired gunmen are fighting their last stand. Col. Romeo Brawner, deputy commander of Task Force Ranao, said the bodies are believed to be ISISMaute gunmen killed in aerial bombardment and encounters with government troops in the past month. He said soldiers spent Tuesday night placing the bodies inside body bags for turnover to PNP forensic experts who will subject them to DNA testing. “DNA tests will be performed and the bodies will be buried right away,” Brawner said. He said burial teams will bury the bodies in Maqbara See found, page 7

Believing in the potential of Doloriel, provincial governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano throw his all out support to the pride of Misamis Oriental during the search for the Miss Scuba Philippines 2017 in Manila this week. As Miss Scuba Philippines 2017, Doloriel’s presence in the Miss Scuba International 2017 beauty pageant makes the Filipino

thoughts might provoke a deeper reflection about values, including ours: Billy Graham’s daughter was interviewed on the “Early Show” and Jane Clayson asked her “How could God let something like this happen?” (regarding the attacks on Sept. 11). Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said “I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we’ve been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?” in light of recent events...terrorists at-

tack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O’Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn’t want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school .... the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK. Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn’t spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock’s son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he’s talking about. And we said OK. Now we’re asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they

Lucell Larawan

don’t know right from wrong, and why it doesn’t bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves. Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with “WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.” Funny, how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world’s going to hell. Funny, how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny, how you can send ‘jokes’ through email and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages See provokes, page 5

Duterte must lead Filipinos in truly seeking God…

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice are wise…” (Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in Matthew 7:24, the Holy Bible). -oooWHEN WILL CUSTOMS CHIEF LAPENA EVER LEARN? When will the leaders and officers of the Bureau of Customs (BOC), like newly-installed Customs Commissioner Isidro Lapena, ever learn? With his already lengthy service in government, Lapena should already know by now that corruption will continue

at the bureau even if its misfits and corrupt officials and employees are purged every now and then, if their replacements similarly do not have fear and love of God in their hearts. It may happen that during the initial stages of their work, the new officials and employees will display efficiency and clean service, so that, during that time, distribution of grease money for transactions in the bureau (derisively called “tara”) may stop or be considerably lessened. But as previous instances in the country will show, involving even

presidents who have been installed on the crest of a strong outcry against corruption of their predecessors, graft will somehow find its way once again. Many are saying that new officials who initially display probity are simply “eaten up” by the corrupt system once they get to know their way around. But this is what I say: if only these officials have fear and love of our God and Savior in their hearts, they would never allow themselves to be enmeshed in corruption, choosing instead to remain honest and righteous in

wallowing in poverty, poor and marginalized, nobody but nobody entertains fear and love of God in their hearts anymore. In their thoughts, words, action, and appearances, they are concerned only about themselves and their interests. Gone are the respect, the recognition, thanksgiving, and giving of honor, to God among many Filipinos. This is largely due to the truth that the faith of many is no longer genuine and is generally a joke. Many say they are Christians, but they no longer know the commands of Jesus, precisely because they no longer read His Word, the Bible. And because many Filipinos no longer desire to read the Bible, they are no longer shaped by the commands that would have led them to good thoughts, peaceful and respectful speech, humble behavior, and appearances that are truly pleasing to God. What is more fearful and frightening is that, their minds have become clearly controlled not by God and His commands anymore, but by the devil. -oooDUTERTE MUST LEAD FILIPINOS IN TRULY SEEKING GOD FOR TRUE CHANGE: As a consequence, I am proposing to Lapena, to President Duterte, and to all others who are in government, and even to all our countrymen: the change that we must all be pursuing and insisting on is the change among ourselves towards a more healthy knowledge of, and obedience to, God and His commandments. The Duterte government must make as its priority the recognition, thanksgiving, and giving honor to God at all times, in the minds, speech, behavior or conduct, and in the appearance of everyone, from the President himself, to the Vice President, to the members of the two houses of Congress, the judiciary, and to all Filipinos. We must all strive to regularly call, with all sincerity and candor, on God through unceasing prayers. The government must also talk to the leaders of the different religious and spiritual groups in the Philippines to solicit their help to earnestly teach their members the Word of God from the

Funny, how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace. Are you laughing?...

Cyberbullying: Greatest Drawback of Modern Technology By Rosell M. Gomez, Secondary School Teacher II Ozamiz City National High School

Cyberbullying is increasingly becoming more common due to the advancement of technology we have today. A study reported that one out of five children is being bullied online and the number of child victims allegedly doubles every year. Modern technology is continuously evolving, and in recent times, it has manifested itself in a very serious social problem, namely cyber bullying. Modern technology is like a double-edged sword; on one hand it gives us connectivity, on the other it increases emotional stress. Cyberbullying is a willful act inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic device. It is the way of posting mean spirited messages about someone on the net. It includes such acts as making threats, sending provocative insults, racial slurs, gay bashing, attempting to infect the victim’s computer with a virus, and flooding an e-mail inbox with messages. Who are Cyberbullies? According to a study cyberbullies are generally more of a product their environment in which they too are abused in many ways, verbally or physically or they might even be cyber-bullied. Oftentimes cyber-bullies work in groups because in that way they feel stronger. The number one objective of cyber-bullies is to have power. They want to have the control of each situation. They want to be dominators and subjugate everyone. Studies have shown that a child who is a bully has a higher risk of abusing their children and/or spouse during adulthood as well as a higher likelihood of committing a crime. According to the National Crime Prevention Council, males have a tendency to bully by sending threatening messages or messages that are sexual in nature. Females have a tendency to spread rumors or make fun of others through mes-

sages or social media. What are the causes of Bullying? Some bullies learn bullying behaviors at home due to poor supervision or from observing aggressive behaviors at home. Jealously and feeling inadequate are also common causes of bullying. Sometimes bullying is due to a prejudicial attitude toward a victim’s culture, race, sexual orientation or social standing. What are the effects of cyberbullying ? Study shows that cyber bullying indeed affected students academically as well as emotionally. Ninety-five percent of the victims of cyber bullying stated that they were scared, worried and affected. Research findings have shown that young students who become victims of cyber bullies suffer great stress. Another study reported that the victims, under great emotional stress, are unable to concentrate on their studies, and thus their academic progress is adversely affected. The depressive effect of cyber bullying prevents students from excelling in their studies. In addition, the Educational Studies Department reported that the victims of cyber bullying show their unwillingness to attend school because they are afraid of being confronted by the bullies. This is the prime reason of their absences which resulted to a low performance and poor grades. Moreover, Harvard Country Examiner has also reported that cyber bullying has many baneful effects on the youth. Through social media, cyber bullying can happen at any time of day and at any frequency. Victims may lose interest in activities they once enjoyed and experience changes in sleeping and eating habits. It has also been stated by the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences that a person’s low self-esteem is an effect to this harsh act. The victims of cyber bullying have low self-esteem

5

and struggles with their insecurities and inferiorities among others. Another alarming effect of cyber bullying is that teens these days might even tempted suicidal thoughts, which is highly detrimental to one’s peaceful existence. Severe, long-term or frequent cyber bullying will leave the victims at risk for anxiety and depression. The National Crime Prevention Program says that teens who have experienced too much embarrassment and cruelty are at the higher risk for committing suicide. Studies reported that each year there are more than 3.2 million students who are the victims of a bully. A research shows that 1 out of every 10 students drop out of school due to being repeatedly bullied. Who are subjects for bullying? A survey in 2009 found that 9 out of every 10 LGBT students reported experiencing verbal harassment or bullying because of their sexual orientation. Individuals who show low profile are also subject for bullying. Also, those students who are performing low in a class or in school. What can we do to stop cyberbullying? The above mentioned alarming effects of cyber bullying call for everybody’s attention. Indeed, cyber bullying is the greatest drawback of modern technology. Parents at home must inculcate the good values to their children as education first takes place at home. They must remind their children to always give respect to anyone at all times. Children must be trained to be a good fellow and must be a god buddy to everyone around. Teachers at school must also discuss the Anti-Cyberbullying Act No. 10627 of 2015. Students must clearly understand the sanction of committing cyber bullying.Teachers must also strengthen students’ discipline and respect to one another. Thus to say, proper use of technology should be emphasized. Students should always be reminded to be responsible netizens.

Lago was formerly with the City Disaster Risk, Reduction and Management Office before he joined the province’s PDRRMD. It was not known why he jumped to the province. However, there are doubts that Lago could have been an object of the surveillance prior to Galvez said the terrorists are still holding 28 hostages – 12 children and 16 women.

Thursday, October 12, 2017 his arrest Tuesday. The spurious provincial governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano immediately issued a preventive order against Lago. “Whether Lago is guilty of using illegal drugs, the preventive suspension was the first step,” Emano said. He said the province would submit the records of

Lago’s arrest along with the preventive suspension to the Civil Service Commission (CSC) for final decision. The young governor is always against provincial workers found to be engage in illegal drug activities. In fact, the governor always conducts a “surprise antiillegal drug test” to provin-

cial government employees in order to determine and find out workers who might be into the illegal drugs. Since Emano employed the surprised illegal drug test, about six provincial employees were already dismissed from service. It is noteworthy, that the provincial government of

ROBOTS: MAN’S SERVANTS OR FOES? By Rosell M. Gomez, Secondary School Teacher II Ozamiz City National High School

In today’s modern world, the emerging technologies like industrial robots, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are advancing at a rapid pace. These creations improve speed, quality, accuracy and cost of available goods and services in different work sectors. Robots, also known as ‘steelcollar workers,’ are widely employed in different fields. They are used in marine research, space exploration, manufacturing industry, the military, transportation, in medical applications, and even in households. According to International Federation of Robotics (IFR) the top countries that are inclined to the creation and production of robots are South Korea, Japan, Germany, Italy, and United States. According to a study, more than 90% of all robots used today are found in factories. These robots are referred to as the classical industrial robots. Ten years ago, nine out of ten robots were purchased by automotive companies. Today, 50% of robots manufactured are used by car manufacturers. They have made huge strides into warehouses, laboratories, energy plants, and even in hospitals. Robots, as the new technological tools, have great advantages. The state of robotics today has real-world applications, impacting employment, safety, quality, productivity, efficiency and competitiveness. In the field of medicine, robots work as professional doctors doing operation on the patients. An ex-

ample of this is the Da Vinci Surgical Robot. It is controlled remotely by a surgeon from a console, and is designed to perform highly complex surgeries. In military, Recon Scout XT is a spy robot. It is unmanned unit, which weighs only about 700 grams and a great help of the militaries. Moreover, robots are also great help in business industries. They are used in food preparation and packaging applications. In addition, Robots are very valuable to scientists, they are sent to a deep space or the bottom of the ocean. They can work in any kind of situation, no matter how awful the environment is. More importantly, robots can work around the clock never knowing what tiredness is. Indeed, the advantages of robots are innumerable. They are widely used in developed countries. In Japan, one out of ten thousand workers are robots, which not only improve the working efficiency, but also enhance accuracy. That is the reason why robots are so popular in automobile industry and electronic production line. However, the disadvantages of robots are also undeniable. First, all the robots and other intelligent machines are designed by human beings. If something goes wrong with the electric circuit or programs, robots will become good-for-nothing machines. Secondly, robots cannot work creatively when confronted with complicated situation. In short, robots are subsidiary to human beings. No

matter how competent they are in various kinds of field, robots will never be as versatile as humans. Also, they are power-operated machines to keep working. Lastly, using of robots in factories and other business sectors will lead to unemployment. With the enrollment of robots and improvement of working efficiency, factories need not so many workers. This then can lead to the increase rate of unemployment. According to International Federation of Robotics (IFR), Japan is the leading country with 310,508 operational robots. There’s even a hotel staffed almost entirely by robots in Nagasaki, Japan. The IFR also reported that in the last 10 years, the number of global industrial robots has grown 72%, while the number of US manufacturing jobs has fallen by 16%. Moreover, it is also said that by 2020, about million jobs will be lost. This is a very scary fact. This may lead to malnutrition and poverty to many families. The rich countries will become richer and the poor will become poorer. Did humans create robots to serve them or replace them? One must think and reflect about this. Thus, the robot user countries must know when to use and when to not use the robots. They must be used to replace humans in doing tasks in dangerous situations not to be the cause of humans’ unemployment. We are the one who created these robots thus; we must not let ourselves be enslaved by these human-controlled machines. Robots must be man’s servants not man’s foes.

200 researchers to convene in Davao DAVAO CITY – Some 200 researchers from all over Asia will convene in Davao City for the 10th Asian Raptor Research and Conservation Network (ARRCN) International Symposium on October 18-22 at the Ateneo de Davao University (AdDU). The Philippine Eagle Foundation, (PEF), being a member of ARRCN and the only raptor center and research facility in the Philippines, is selected to host this year’s event, in partnership with the Davao City government, Department of Tourism, and AdDU. The delegates will come from 30 ARRCN member countries, including Japan, India, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia. PEF conservation education administrator Bai Kristie Salve Gomez said this is a rare opportunity “because the event is the first to be held in the Philippines.” “We would like to invite the students especially so they would learn how these researchers conduct raptor research monitoring in their respective countries,” she said. Gomez said there are only few people conducting research about raptors and through them (researchers) “we would be able to learn how other countries are conserving and protecting their raptor species”. She said there are other raptors in the country aside from the Philippine Eagle. “This event will give us the chance to get to know the researchers and their works,” she said. Raptors or birds-of-prey play a prominent role in human culture. Among several traditional societies, eagles are spiritual symbols of divine protection and charismatic representation of desirable human traits such as courage, firmness and leadership. Unfortunately, people’s attitude towards raptors is not always positive. In northern Philippines for instance, hundreds of migrating Grey-faced buzzards See convene, page 11

Medics disappointed over Ubial rejection DAVAO CITY -- Some medical practitioners in Davao City were disappointed on the rejection of the appointment of Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Pauline Jean Ubial by the Commission on Appointments (CA) on Tuesday. House of Hope Foundation for Kids with Cancer Inc. program director Dr. Mae Concepcion Dolendo said the CA decision was “very disappointing” given her qualification and competency for the position. Dolendo said Ubial’s rejection raises doubt over the process at how the CA selects officials. “What is really happening in the CA?” Dolendo

asked. With the rejection of Ubial’s appointment, Dolendo thanked the outgoing health secretary for her “passion, commitment and great job.” “Today is a sad day for all healthcare workers,” she emphasized. For Davao City Council committee on health chair Councillor Mary Joselle Villafuerte, Ubial has done her best to be a good DOH secretary. She said Ubial’s leadership at DOH helped the city in its health programs. “However, the constitution requires that she undergoes CA confirmation. We respect the decision of

the CA,” she said. She said the city would still continue to work with DOH and its leaders despite the unfortunate event. On Tuesday, Senate President Aquilino Pimentel III said there were no objections to a motion to disapprove the ad interim appointment of Ubial as Health secretary. Senator Gringo Honasan, chair of the CA committee on health, said the committee reached “a difficult decision” after scrutinizing voluminous documents and hearing the testimonies of the appointee and the oppositors. Ubial was not present when the decision on See medics, page 10

Do not allow poverty to control your life

The Gospel of Jesus Christ (October 12, 2017-Thursday) Mark 8:14-21”And they had forgotten to take bread, and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them. And He was giving orders to them, saying, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” They began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no

During the third and last hearing on her confirmation, there were two new oppositors who spoke against Ubial namely former PhilHealth officer-in-charge Dr. Hildegardes Dineros and a certain Ma.

AND HAVING EARS, DO YOU NOT HEAR? And do you not remember when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full contract of service workers as well as government workers. Duron said those eligible in the program are indigents, government workers and immediate family, contract of service workers in the government and immediate family, wounded soldiers, and beneficiaries of soldiers who were killed or wounded in action. The P1 billion budget for the program comes from the Office of the President’s SocioCivic Projects Fund. DSWD desks have been established in identified partner hospitals to carry out the program in regions NCR, 3, 6, 7 and 11. The Libreng Gamot program is the realization of President Duterte’s promise to give free medicines to indigent Filipinos. This shows the President’s awareness of the high cost of medicines and the numerous indigent patients who cannot afford to buy prescription drugs.

The warning of Jesus to his disciples was the bread of the Pharisees which means the false teachings and doctrines they served to gram should present original or certified true copy of the following: 1) any valid ID of the patient; 2) if patient has a representative, any valid ID of the representative and written authorization of the patient; 3) doctor’s prescription issued within the last three months; and 4) certificate of indigency or barangay certification. “This is distinct and separate from the existing DSWD Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) which is dispensed in the regional offices of DSWD throughout the country,” Jabagat said.

Sometimes we eat unhealthy foods that cause sicknesses and diseases of our physical bodies. There are also instances of our lives that we eat unhealthy teachings that resulted to the lost of our souls. We need to be careful for within BIMP-EAGA. “In the past, products in Mindanao will have to go up to Manila to go to Jakarta to the areas of the market. By paving this direct connection with our neighbor within BIMP-EAGA, it cuts the cost of transport of our producers and our traders by as much as 67 percent depending on the commodity,” Lopoz explained. “Imagine the cost saved because of the integration and connectivity within the subregion,” she added. This, according to Lopoz, addresses one of the critical development constraints that limit SMEs’ participation in the global value chain, which is the inadequacy of the infrastructure and logistics in ASEAN. Aside from the facilitation and connectivity, the public symposium also covered issues on liberalization and good governance, ASEAN and East Asia integration, as well as the roles of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.

Television: A Double-edged Sword By Rosell M. Gomez, Secondary School Teacher II Ozamiz City National High School Technology is certainly changing our lives in extraordinary ways. Along with technology’s fast and progressive development are the massive changes in peoples’ lives. Meals have become ready-made, books and entertainments have become digitalized. Television has become a key member of every family. It has now billions of viewers worldwide. People of all ages and individuals from all walks of life watch television for different reasons and purposes. Most of the individuals depend on television for entertainment, news, education, culture, weather and sports. The invention of television has helped conquer communication barriers and bridge the gap between people across the globe. Television provides us many benefits. It brings us fresh and legit news we need. It gives us authentic information on a certain topic. It helps us to know what weather to expect, what disasters to prevent, what is in and what is happening around the globe. It keeps us regularly updated to current events to anywhere in the world. In addition, television serves as a source of entertainment. With just a few presses of fingers and flipping of channels, entertainment is served. It also gives the viewers the chance to travel around the globe to watch and enjoy the beautiful sceneries, learn about different cultures and gain exposure to ideas, beliefs and practices. People, especially teenagers nowadays are screen-centered. They spend much time on television. Teens primarily watch TV for the sake of entertainment. With a lot of channels to choose from, it surely does serve this purpose well. As a matter of fact, due to its entertaining ability, the average children would spend at least 1,480 minutes per week. In the field of education television helps students learn about science, technology, history, geography, and other different areas of learning. It is a great way of educating ourselves throughout society with important issues that affect our daily lives be it social, political, economic or medical. Furthermore, television often acts as an almanac, dictionary, and an eye into the world around us. Because of our exposures to television, we always have something new to share to our fellow. Truly, television brings many positive impacts to human race. However, we must also consider its negative effects. Drawbacks of television

Everyone must keep in mind that too much exposure on television has also many negative effects. According to a scientific study, children who are exposed to television for a long period of time are likely to develop sleep problems that in extreme cases can lead to stress and depression. This can also lead to eye problems. It has been reported that too much exposure on television affects students’ academic performance due to the fact that they miss to study on their quizzes and exams. Also, an American psychologist found out that individuals who indulge in television too much get obese due to lack of exercise. People who are inactive may develop unhealthy habits such as eating junk foods and taking sugary drinks. Besides, not indulging sports and healthy activities can lead to cardiovascular diseases and other serious illnesses. Television is also a great influence in developing and shaping an individual’s behaviour. Violence and sexuality are often presented on TV as a casual activity. Thus, making viewers especially teenagers think that it is alright to imitate it without thinking of the risks and consequences. Therefore, teenage pregnancy, violence, crime and murder are getting rampant nowadays. It is a fact that the amount of violence on television is on the rise. A recent study reported that the average child sees 12,000 violent acts on television annually, including many depictions of murder and rape. Moreover, more than 1,000 studies confirm that exposure to heavy doses of television violence increases aggressive behaviour, particularly in boys. Other studies link television or newspaper publicity of suicides to an increased suicide risk. Television is not bad at all provided that one is intelligent enough in choosing the right shows and programs to be viewed. To sum it all up, Television has both positive and negative effects to humanity. Thus, proper use of television needs to be emphasized. Parents, guardians and mature individuals must choose the educational and informative television shows for the young viewers. Truly, television is like a doubleedged sword that can bring to us many benefits and harmful effects as well Let us all be responsible and be wise enough to enjoy the numerous benefits brought to us by television.

had shabu with him in his room. According to the logbook at Wilshire Inn, Lago checked in at 2:00 a.m. Tuesday. As of presstime, Lago is undergoing inquest before the city prosecutor’s office. Rollen said the prosecution would likely recommend a bail bond since under Republic Act 9165, anyone caught with less than five grams of cocaine or shabu may apply for a bail. For his part, Governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano said in a press statement that Capitol is considering Lago “innocent until proven guilty.” In the meantime, he will continue his task as Local DRRM Officer II. Lago’s expertise is in weather forecasting. He became controversial a few months back when he switched allegiance from the Cagayan de Oro City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office to its provincial counterpart. It was the first time under the two-year-old Duterte presidency that a provincial government employee was arrested for drugs.

“We are very grateful to Gov. [Yevgeny Vincente] Emano for helping us bring back my daughter Edna to Jasaan from Qatar,” Cutanda said in an interview. Cutanda said that last time she spoke to Daaca was on September 11, 2017. For his part, Emano said it was the provincial government’s responsibility to bring back a dead Misamisnon working in other countries so they could be properly buried in their place of birth. “No matter where you are in the world, if you are from Misamis Oriental, we will help you get back home,” the governor said. Managbanag said it was the PESO that sought the assistance of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) to retrieve Daaca’s remains. In most cases, it would take three to four months for the body of a dead OFW to be returned to the country, but Managbanag said it was hastened due to the PESO’s intervention. According to the provincial government, Daaca worked in Qatar since 2012 as a beauty consultant. A mother of two girls, Daaca holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree at the Tagoloan Community College in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, a public school built through the initiative of Emano when he was the congressman of Misamis Oriental’s first district.

appropriate for them to renew their weapons. He said many of the existing gun owners have yet to renew their firearms due to their failure to comply with the requirements. To address the sheer volume of “loose” firearms, he said the RCSU has set up the License to Own and Operate Firearms (LTOPF) Caravan wherein enthusiasts can renew their guns without having to go through the hassle of going to different agencies to comply with the requirements. Persons wishing to register or renew their firearms would have to attend a gun safety seminar, undergo a drug test, and take a neuropsychiatric examination, as well as obtaining a clearance at the National Bureau of Investigation. At the LTOPF Caravan, all these requirements are in one roof and this has proven to be very convenient for owners who want to renew their firearms, Albacete said. “The LTOPF Caravan offers a one-stop shop and this will save gun owners time and money,” he said. In Cagayan de Oro, the caravan was held October 10-11, in coordination with the Macahambus chapter of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, whose members are mostly shooting enthusiasts. After here, Albacete said the LTOPF Caravan will be visiting other areas in the region, including Gingoog City, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, and Bukidnon. For category 1, gun owners will have to pay at least P3,500 for registration or renewal of a handgun and a long firearm. At present, civilians are not allowed to bring their

Davco is engaged in the production and exportation of fresh pineapples. The insurgents also burned the vehicles parked inside the Davco compound and took away the firearms of the company’s firearms. Torched were a boom spray tractor, a boom harvester, two nurse trucks, a generator set. Another group of NPA unit reportedly blocked the national highway fronting the Quezon municipal cemetery using a commandeered truck to prevent or delay government troops from responding. In a statement, the NPA owned up the raid, saying its South Central Bukidnon Sub-regional Command carried out the burning of properties. Ka Malem Mabini, of the NPA-North Central Mindanao Region, said their fighters confiscated at least 15 high-powered firearms from the company’s security personnel. Capt. Joe Patrick Martinez, spokesperson of the Philipine Army’s 4th Infantry Division (4ID), said what the NPA has done was a violation of the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL), one of the four substantive agenda that was formulated following the peace talks between the government and the Communist rebels in the past years. “The incident is another violation of CARHRIHL when the NPA deliberately and dastardly attacked civilians and their properties. This is their (NPA) way of compelling companies and other small business entities to give in to their extortion demands,” Martinez said. He said the immediate impact of this is the possible loss of jobs of the locals whose source of income only depends on the said firm. “Support to Law Enforcement Operation is in effect and we are currently gaining information from the concerned civilians as we pursue the perpetrators. We will ensure that they will also suffer the same fate as hard as what their former NPA members are experiencing right now behind bars because of committing crimes,” he added. Col. Eric Vinoya, commanding officer of the Army’s 403rd Infantry Brigade, said “it is very unfortunate that despite being a signatory to the CARHRIHL, the NPA, with the guidance of their leaders, still continue to attack and murder in-

nocent civilians.” He said the agreement protects the rights of the unarmed members of the community and that they should not be treated as combatants. “We strongly condemn the NPA’s act of banditry and their insincerity by attacking, yet again, a civilian facility and murdering a public official, which poses an even bigger threat to the civilian populace and to the economic situation of Bukidnon,” Vinoya said, referring to the gunning down of Romeo Bantilan Jr., village councilor of Barangay White Kulaman, Kitaotao, Bukidnon, last Oct. 8. Bantilan was allegedly killed by a member of the NPA’s Guerrilla Front 53 only known as “Aman.” He added: “Those attacks only fuel our utmost desire to protect our people from these thugs. And in so doing, we need the full cooperation of the public in ensuring that these NPA atrocities will be preempted.”

the railway system, Sen. Ejercito said income of the people will improve while poverty will be eradicated. “When this time comes, there will be color of peace in Mindanao,” he added. The senator from San Juan City who chairs the Senate Committee on Health visited the province to personally see the newly constructed buildings of D.O. Plaza Memorial Hospital located within the government center complex of the Provincial Capitol in Prosperidad town. He vowed to do his best to provide hospital facili-

ties that are lacking at the DOPMH upon his return to his office in Manila. “I am here to see for myself what we can do for Mindanao, Agusan del Sur and Bayugan City. We will make it sure that these places will be genuinely developed whatever we can do in order to deliver the best government services specially on health,” Sen. Ejercito said. While listening to the message of the senator, Gov. Plaza’s attention was caught by plenty of children around the vicinity. Being an advocate of family planning, the governor advised parents to control their overflowing love for each other and suggested that there should only two children per couple to ensure they have enough food for their normal growth while assured of brighter future through good education.

are slaughtered for food at their roost sites. In Nagaland, thousands of Amur falcons migrating in 2012 were butchered by locals who regarded the bird multitudes as like “manna dropping down the heaven”. But there are good reasons for hope like the community-managed annual raptor festivals in Taiwan and Thailand, for instance, demonstrate how people and migrating raptors can maintain a harmonious co-existence. In Nagaland, Gomez said local apathy has been replaced by care and concern just a matter of two years. Gomez said the change was brought by advocacy, education and grassroots conservation.

“Several equally-inspiring community-based raptor conservation programs across Asia exist hence posaitive human attitudes can be devloped,” she said. Gomez said the conference will highlight how support to community-based actions can result to healthy people-raptor relationships. The goal of the ARRCN is to further promote raptor conservation and determine the link between raptors and local communities to encourage appreciation and protection of raptor species. PNA

valuable contributions of employer-members and partner to the mission of SSS. This is a recognition in tightening the campaign of supporting for “KaltaSS Collect Program” wherein the Social Security Protection will watch over the job order and contractual employees in the government. According to Mr. Albar “the number of Job Orders and Contractual Workers in Comval capitol reached to 1,389 employees as members of SSS program that end up on the partnership of PLGU and SSS. This offers Social Security Protection to the employees of the government who are not member of GSIS.” This program will help the Job Orders and Contractual employees by way of registering the unregistered workers in SSS and the monthly obligation will be deducted from their salaries and the LGU will be the one who pays in the SSS office.

Tanggalin Ang Kung Anong Toxic Ang stress ay kaakibat na ng pang-araw araw natin na buhay. Hindi matatanggal ito at sadyang bahagi na ito maging sa loob ng bahay, eskewalahan o trabaho. Ngunit anya ng nakararami, kaya nating piliin kung ano ang makakaapekto sa atin ng lubusan at kaya rin nating piliing tanggalin ang mga bagay na hindi nakakatulong sa ating pamumuhay kagaya ng: • Pagtanggal sa mga toxic na habits o bagay na nakagawian na nakakaapekto sa kalusugang emosyonal, mental at pisikal. • Huwag magpaapekto sa mga bagay o tao na nagbibigay lamang ng negatibong impact sa buhay. • Umpisahang baguhin ang mga nakaugaliang bagay na nagbibigay ng pangit na epekto sa kalusugan kagaya ng pagpupuyat, pag-kain ng hindi healthy at pag-bibisyo.
