‘Be a model of decorum,’ Duterte, et al urged after major gaffes in Marawi City mosque visit PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte and senior government and military officials are being urged to “be a model of decorum” following major gaffes that offended many during their visit to the Islamic Center in Marawi City on Monday, Day 112 of the war between government forces and the Maute Group. It was the fourth visit to the troops in Marawi by the country’s first Mindanawon President and the first with Moro blood for having a Maranao grandmother. Duterte, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon, Presidential Adviser on Military Affairs Arthur Tabaquero, Armed Forces Chief of Staff Gen. Eduardo Año, Philippine Army Chief Lt. Gen. Glorioso Miranda, Western Mindanao Command chief Lt. Gen. Carlito Galvez,

other senior military officials and security escorts, as well as Special Assistant to the President Christopher Lawrence Go and Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson entered the mosque without removing their shoes. Muslims perform ablution and remove their shoes before entering mosques where they lie prostrate on the floor as a form of supplication and complete submission to the will of Allah. Three days earlier, on September 8, 43 military and police officers lay prostrate in that same mosque for the first Friday congregational prayer since government forces took control of the Islamic Center on August 24. The Maute Group used the Jameo Mindanao Al-Islamie, also known as Islamic Center or Grand Mosque, as its “command center”

and “snipers’ nest” when the clashes started on May 23 until government forces took over three months later. Friday’s congregational prayer was led by Marawi City Chief of Police Superintendent Ebra M Moxsir, who is also an Imam. Moxsir was not part of the President’s party on September 11. Helmets on, firearms in, no veil Clad in camouflage uniform and bulletproof vests, Duterte, Lorenzana and top military officials with them wore not only their shoes but also their helmets and also brought their firearms inside the mosque. Wearing a camouflage top and tight jeans, Uson also entered the mosque with her long hair not covered by a hijab (veil) and a video clip shows her entering the mosque, guiding her audience as tourist guides do.

Mosques have separate entrances for women and women are expected to cover their hair and upper part of the body with a hijab.

They are also expected to respect for a place of worwear clothes loose enough ship is important and silence so as not to reveal their must be observed. The President has body shape. As with other religions, See visit, page 7

of healer reported missing Police clears mayor Remains 3 years ago found near Mt. Apo peak after anti-drug raid GENERAL Santos City-The Police Regional Office (PRO)-12 has cleared the mayor of Tampakan town in South Cotabato of any legal liability following an anti-drug raid at his home on Monday morning that yielded several high-powered firearms. Supt. Romeo Galgo Jr., PRO-12 public information officer, said Tuesday Mayor Leonardo Escobillo was cleared after presenting legal documents as proof of ownership for the six recovered firearms and assorted ammunition. The raiding team also found no illegal drugs Galgo said these were a unit of caliber .45 Norinco pistol with live ammunition, a caliber .40 Taurus pistol with loaded ammunition, two carbine rifles, a shotgun, an AK47 rifle, and assorted magazines and ammunition. The firearms were recovered during an anti-drug raid at the mayor’s house

in Barangay Maltana in Tampakan town around 6 a.m. on Monday. The operation was based on 15 search warrants for possession and selling of illegal drugs, maintenance of a drug den, and illegal possession of firearms, ammunition and explosives issued by Judge Alandrex Betoya of the Regional Trial Court Branch 16 in Kabacan, North Cotabato. The warrants were implemented by operatives from the PRO-12’s Regional Drug Enforcement Unit, Regional Public Safety Battalion, 1st and 2nd Maneuver Company, Tampakan municipal police station. But Galgo said the mayor’s son, Leonard “Junjun” Escobillo, is facing charges of illegal possession of firearms after a caliber. 45 Taurus handgun loaded with eight live bullets and with expired license was seized in a separate raid at his home in Purok 6, Barangay

Maltana. Also recovered were 18 rounds of live ammunition and two pieces of steel magazines, he said. “He was arrested for not having presented legal documents to vouch ownership of the confiscated items,” he said in a statement. Galgo said Leonard is currently detained at the Tampakan municipal police station lockup pending the filing of formal charges. Sr. Insp. Harold Cornel, Tampakan police chief, noted that Mayor Escobillo, who is currently on his third term, was not arrested after the raid. The raiding team declared as unlicensed the two carbine rifles seized from the mayor’s residence. The mayor denied owning them. “Only Leonard is in our custody right now,” Cornel said. He said Leonard, who was reportedly eyeing the

On Monday, a senior forester from the Energy Development Corporation identified as Jonathan Abel found Lubendina’s skeletal remains while scouring the watershed area at Lake Maag, about 50 meters away from Mount Apo’s Lake Venado. Along with the skeletal remains were identification cards of Lubendina, reports from the Kidapawan City PNP said. Abel immediately informed the local PNP and the Scene of the Crime Operatives here to check on the skeletal remains.

KIDAPAWAN City--The skeletal remains of a healer from Makilala, North Cotabato who went missing three years ago were found in a lake near the peak of Mount Apo, along with his identification cards. Reynaldo Lubendina was reported missing in 2014, according to his wife, Anna. He was then 50 years old. Lubendina was known in his hometown in Makilala as ‘manambalay’, a Cebuano term which means healer. Anna told authorities her husband left their house in early 2014 at Barangay Indangan, Makilala to look for herbs which he needed. “Since then, he failed to return. We don’t know where he went,” said Anna.

The CYNOSURE

Duterte’s anti-graft campaign , a failure MORE than a year in office, political observers remain adamant of President Rodrigo Duterte’s anti-graft and corruption drive. With the government’s effort focusing on anti-illegal drug campaign, the war against corruption in the government appeared to be a dismal failure. Matter of fact, there remain a number of cases of corruption that have continued to persist even with the Duterte administration. There is this perception that while the President scorns corruption in the government service, those who claimed to be closer to him remains unperturbed. The insights that the “classmates” and the Presi-

dent’s “fraternal brothers” in law schools enjoy a kind of “immunity,” haunts the taxpayers. However, despite the anxiety and hesitation, the people still believe in Duterte’s anti-corruption crusade in the government. One could only guess that the campaign should not focus on the lowly paid government workers. After all, the filthy corrupt public officials are the “elected” thieves who have the propensity of draining the people’s money. Yes, most of the known public officials who were charged with graft have remained remain scot-free. Travesty of justice? There is always this

popular notion that it is the “corrupt justice system” that provide shelter to public officials. Thus, it is held that it is the corrupt justice system that efficiently cuddle the corrupt officials in the government. In many of his speeches, Duterte himself expressed his disdain over the rampant issuance of the court’s restraining order and the writ of preliminary injunction. No matter, Duterte has to accept the process of the “rule of law” where every individual is entitled to. Democracy in motion, so to speak. Who cares if the thieves in the government continue to plunder on the taxpayers’ money? After all, with a conspiratorial

Cris Diaz

system, it is easier to get off hook on anything – legally or illegally. A popular saying in the capitalist system, “everything boils down to money.” This adage is very much alive in the government system, too. Indeed, money is like a natural magnet that it attracts the inept and the pathetic in its surroundings. But, how far can the perverts enjoy the perks of democracy remain to be ascertained. After all, when the brazen exercise of manifest corruption remains prevalent, the government has the duty to intercede. See campaign, page 7

Have my say

A European dilemma?

SOMEHOW, I really felt touched while listening. In his State of the Union speech, European Commission President Juncker has praised the bloc for “bouncEDITORIAL ing back” after 10 years of ALLAN M. MEDIANTE crises. He has outlined bold Editor-in-Chief proposals for the Eurozone, trade and migration. Is it ruel pelone CRIS DIAZ Managing Editor Executive Editor too late? Well, the Commission MARK FRANCISCO Chief has ruled out TurkLifestyle Editor ish EU membership “in GILBERT Y. CHAO gerry lee gorit the foreseeable future.” No Motoring Editor Photo Journalist wonder.

QUILINGUING conditions in Libyan mi Regional Editor Northmin Contributing Editor grant centers to prevent AL JACINTO JOE FELICILDA people fleeing Africa to Regional Editor-WestMin Editorial Consultant Italy by way of the Mediterranean. Long time overdue!

https://twitter.com/mindanao_daily

Next, there were warm words for Balkan candidate countries. Sure. Also, the future EU tax policy should be approved by a majority of member states, rather than the existing unanimity requirement, Juncker said. Is there really a chance for this. I doubt! Of course, many Europeans call Juncker’s speech as ‘Wind back in Europe’s sails’. Of course, in my opinion, last year, European Commission President Jean Claude Juncker had little to cheer about in his flagship address before the European Parliament. If anything, it was a call to stop the collapse of the EU. Now, a year on from Brexit and with European

economies on the upswing, Wednesday’s State of the Union speech struck a far more optimistic note, as Juncker praised the bloc’s achievements over the last 12 months and laid out his vision for its future. “After 10 years of crises, economies are on the rise and the European Union is bouncing back” he said. “The wind is back in Europe’s sails, it now has a window of opportunity.” Oh yes - so very true! Indeed, let’s throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the harbor. Catch the trade winds in our sails. It’s indeed high time for protecting European businesses. On strengthening Europe’s trade program, Juncker said that,

Klaus Doring

“Europe has always been an attractive partner to trade with, and now countries from all over the world are knocking on our door.” Juncker cited the bloc’s recent trade agreements with Canada and Japan, and called for a speedy conclusion to ongoing talks with Mexico and the South American trading bloc, Mercosur. Juncker also said talks should also begin with Australia and New Zealand. Regulator y refor ms See european, page 5

The Striker

Our fight against illegal drugs

THE raging battle against the use of illegal drugs initiated by the government cannot be won and will remain in publicity only. It is a one-way war in favor of the drug dealers because so many of our public officials are engaged in the business for profit. They make money while enjoying the use thereof anytime they wish. One more thing, the killings perpetrated by some police officers targeted the poor victims who cannot fight back because of their innocence and lack of money to hire the services of counsel. In short, there is utter discrimination in the way the campaign is being handled. The murder of suspects on the ground of “nanlaban” has lost its meaning since the general public does not

believe in it anymore. Adding insult to injury President Duterte sided with the policemen who kill even innocent bystanders and further offered some kind of compensation to those who helped in the drug war. A lot of people are getting uneasy on the matter, particularly the church which think the war is excessive and plain incredible. What is now on the surface is the credibility of the authorities. The authorities must get the support of the public or the drive will definitely fall. New strategy is necessary not only to prevent the unnecessary loss of lives of young victims but also to save millions of pesos spent on the drug war. We have been repeating the same old mistakes and it is just none-sense of a sort. I urge

our law enforcers to open their eyes to see reality in action. Killing the suspects is indeed a horrible matter that even alarmed world leaders. It is fighting a crime by committing another crime. And the ugly side of the story is it is the innocent people that become losers. Criminals are entitled to due process of law. The legal procedure is to file criminal charges against the suspects, hear them in a preliminary investigation, then dismiss or file the case in court depending on the finding of the prosecutors. Once again, I reiterate my stand that drug addictions is like too much love for coffee or addiction to cigarettes which is very difficult to break away from. Some people who run out of

Ben Emata Jr.

cash to procure these items resort to stealing to be able to buy and meet the cravings of such things. Sad to state drug addiction is going to stay despite the numerous loss of lives involved in the campaign and the billions of pesos of public funds involved. I think the government has to get new ideas from foreign countries which succeeded in their fight against it. Our leaders should learn more. This is like a war against thieves where we must use tactics and See fight, page 5

The mayor blamed politics as behind the raid, which he said was based on “wrong information” fed to authorities. “I will face this challenge and at the same time, continue serving the people of Tampakan,” he said.

In a call for increased border security on Europe’s borders, the European Commission president emphasized the need to unburden countries, such as Greece and Italy, where many migrants have landed. “Italy saves Europe’s honor,” said Juncker, praising the Mediterranean nation for its perseverance and generosity in its handling of the crisis. I strongly agree! Juncker’s proposal could be music to the ears of French President Emmanuel Macron, who has argued that the Euro needs its own, stronger institutions to prevent another debt crisis. However, the proposal will likely be met with tepid reactions in Germany/Berlin, which has largely dismissed reform calls for the common currency. Juncker also endorsed an EUwide adoption of the Euro currency. Denmark and Sweden, who in referendums both rejected the Euro, would be exempt. No doubts, when German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble welcomed Juncker’s idea for pan-EU use of the Euro, but said the same conditions must be met by all member states. “It’s good that he’s applying some pressure and picking up the tempo,” for adoption of the Euro across the bloc, said Strong words for Poland, Hungary and Turkey Brussels’ recent tensions with Poland and Hungary have prompted concerns over the safeguarding of EU values in eastern Europe. “Those states who are not capable

of democracy, are not worthy of Europe,” Juncker said. The governments of both countries have taken an illiberal turn in recent years. The Polish government’s decision to push through judicial reforms allowing the government to elect Supreme Court judges has led the Commission to threaten invoking “Article 7” of the European Treaty, which would suspend Poland’s EU voting rights and even cut off EU funding. True! That attack was also aimed at Turkey, which he accused of “creating ground for membership talks to fail” and “moving away from the European Union in leaps and bounds.” Ankara’s attitude “rules out EU membership for Turkey in the foreseeable future,” the European Commission President said. There were, however, warm words for the western Balkan states, which Juncker said should have a realistic chance of joining the EU by 2019. A European Dilemma?

Friday, September 15, 2017 their documents were reportedly submitted in violation of COA circulars 2012-005 and COA circular 2009-006. The COA reported that the eight checks issued on different occasions in 2015 with Mayor Oscar Moreno as its Payee, were missing, not recorded in the books of account Moreno said that even though the COA findings were unfavorable to him and the other respondents, it still needs an exit conference. Moreno said that the COA has never issued a “notice of suspension or a notice of disallowance ” in connection with the release of the checks. “All government transactions from the lowest to the highest levels are always audited by COA. And in the course of their duties, certain findings will come out. But what’s most important is that the law provides the agencies concerned ample course to check those findings,” he said. Along this line, Moreno said his lawyer Dale Bryan Mordeno will immediately answer within 15 days upon receipt of the Malacañang order. William Guialani, the former village chief of Taglimao, said that he received the copy of the order Tuesday afternoon, although it was delivered August 28, 2017 at the local post office here. “I only get the registered mail on the Malacañang order Tuesday because I’ve got a lot of things to do. Anyway, I already sent, the returned card to confirm that I received the order,” Guialani told the Mindanao Daily News. In the same order, Malacañang dismissed the charges against the City Treasurer, City Budget Office, and City Accountant for the lack of jurisdiction.

Expanded passenger terminal for GenSan airport eyed in 2019 GENERAL SANTOS CITY — Development work has shifted to high gear for the P434 million expansion and rehabilitation of the city international airport’s passenger terminal building to meet its targeted completion by 2019. Engr. Ginalyn Cachuela, manager of the Soccsksargen Area Development Project Office, said the demolition and clearing works are ongoing in portions of the airport’s terminal building as part of the initial construction phase. She said preparatory work started last April following the release of the notice to proceed with the project’s construction by the Department of Transportation (DOTr). The DOTr and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) awarded the project’s contract to joint venture firms Vicente T. Lao Construction and C.B. Garay Philwide Builders Inc. “ This is a two-year project and we expect its completion by April 2019,” Cachuela said in a presentation at the City Council’s regular session on Tuesday.

She said the project includes the expansion of the terminal building’s arrival and pre-departure area and the improvement of basic facilities. When completed, the existing terminal building would expand to around 12,000 square meters. Aside from the terminal building project, Cachuela said clearing and stripping works are also ongoing for the expansion of the airport’s apron space, drainage and storm drains. She said the DOTr has allotted around P54.3 million for the project, which is being undertaken by the Premium Megastructures Inc. The two projects are part of the nearly P1 billion funding approved by the DOTr in 2015 for the upgrading and improvement of the city airport, he said. She said the other component projects are the upgrading of the airport’s water supply facilities worth P100 million, upgrading of navigational aids worth P137 million, and construction of various support facilities worth P294 million. These are the upgrading of the airport’s power supply facilities, construction of a

DAVAO CITY - Mayor Sara Z. Duterte-Carpio bared this plan of making the city’s cacao industry to be globally competitive during her first State of the City Address on September 12, 2017. “It will provide an opportunity for the small entrepreneurs, marginal farmers, upland farmers, and indigenous people of Davao City to be players in the cacao and chocolate industry by producing globally competitive quality chocolates,” DuterteCarpio said. In her message, DuterteCarpio highlighted the assistance from Department of Agriculture-Philippine Rural Development Project which has poured in P9.05-million assistance as support to the city’s cacao farmers. “We have an on-going implementation of the Cacao Production and Marketing of Dry Fermented Beans, a subproject under the Philippine Rural Development Project-Investment in Rural Enterprise and Agriculture and Fisheries Productivity (PRDP-IREAP) with Subasta

Integrated Multi-Purpose Cooperative (SIMPC),” she said. This project has 16 cluster members from Calinan, Tugbok, Baguio, and Marilog Districts with a total of 227 recipients, which includes 97 members of the Indigenous Peoples group, she added. DA-PRDP is a six-year national government platform for inclusive, value-chain oriented, and climate resilient agriculture and fisheries sector. “We envision a formidable agricultural sector that is not weather dependent and is resilient to climate change. We would like our farmers to become business-oriented partners. We want to see an end to the slavery of farmers by financiers,” said DuterteCarpio. DA Davao Region Director Ricardo M. Oñate, Jr. said that cacao is one of the region’s champion commodity as the region supplies 80% of the country’s cacao production. “We have numerous assistance to the cacao industry already at the past and in the

British Ambassador Daniel Pruce meets British Chamber IN PHOTO: BCCP’s Board of Trustees, headed by Chairman Chris Nelson, and Platinum Members struck a pose with the new British Ambassador. The British Chamber of Commerce Philippines introduced its Board of Trustees and Platinum Members to the new British Ambassador Daniel Pruce at The Peninsula Manila. The gathering primarily aims to strengthen collaborative partnership with various stakeholders in promoting United Kingdom and Philippine economic ties. Among the salient points discussed in the meeting were current business environment, opportunities for UK companies keen to do business in the Philippines, BCCP’s current initiatives and plans, members’ interests, and the recent successful hosting of DuterteNomics Forum last week. BCCP is the Overseas Business Network initiative (OBNi) partner of the Department for International Trade (DIT) in the Philippines. Dedicated to delivering DIT’s basic trade services, the project started in the country in FY 2014-15.

Business sector sees ASEAN membership as moderately beneficial to PH The business sector in the country has the lowest appreciation of the benefits that come with its membership in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). This was according to Dr. Sheila Siar, research information director at the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS). Siar shared this in her presentation of the Philippine results of the study “What Does the ASEAN mean to ASEAN peoples?” during the Public Symposium on Building the ASEAN S ocio-cultural Community held recently in Davao City. The symposium was organized by PIDS and Jakarta-based Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), in partnership with the See sector, page 7

which comprises the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, North Cotabato, and the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Tacurong, Kidapawan and Cotabato. The city is considered as the region’s airline hub and has seen a surge in traffic following the entry of budget airfares here several years ago. In 2016, the airport’s passenger traffic reached 838,941, which was up by 29.40 percent from the previous year’s record of 592,911. The airport’s passenger traffic is projected to reach around 1.5 million by 2020. (MindaNews)

Development Authority (MinDA) and the ASEAN Society. According to Siar, the ERIAfunded study, which was also conducted in other ASEAN member-states, showed that Filipino respondents from the business sector agree that the country’s membership in ASEAN is important in increasing access to international markets, travel, and jobs, as well as in maintaining peace and stability. These benefits, however, are perceived by the business sector as meagerly impacting the county, she said. Perceptions and challenges Siar pointed out that this response can be attributed to issues related to trade, investment, and regulation that continue to affect the business sector. As an example, she cited a PIDS study conducted by Dr. Erlinda Medalla and Melalyn Mantaring of the PIDS-led Philippine APEC Study Center Network. The study showed the negative effects of nontariff barriers on the Philippines’ trade activities with other ASEAN countries. Corruption also remains a major issue in the ASEAN region. “The fact that corruption is the most pressing problem overall suggests that the respondents see corruption—and related governance problems—as a critical bottleneck to production efficiency, investment attractiveness, competitiveness, and possibly even development,” said Lydia Ruddy, ERIA Director of Communications. Moreover, the business sector reported moderate awareness of ASEAN. Siar said this was also found in other respondent groups, including those from government, academe, and civil society. In general, all of them registered moderate awareness of ASEAN and moderate identification as ASEAN citizens. This can be explained in part by the low media coverage of ASEAN, which also figured in other ASEAN member-states. In the case of Indonesia, Dr. Alexander Chandra, associate fellow of the Habibie Center in Jakarta, mentioned that the media only focuses on domestic or negative news. “ASEAN news is [considered] not controversial,

hence ‘not sexy’ for media coverage,” said Chandra. Increasing awareness and appreciation Dr. Ponciano Intal, Jr., ERIA senior economist, emphasized the importance of local and traditional leaders in boosting awareness and sense of community in the ASEAN region. “Perhaps, the sultanates of Mindanao, Brunei, Malaysia, and Indonesia can take the lead in creating certain agreements that support regional ASEAN community-building,” Intal proposed. Elaine Tan, ASEAN Foundation executive director, underscored the need to engage the youth in ASEAN’s activities as they comprise the biggest chunk of the region’s population. Siar agreed with Tan, adding that “maximizing schools as avenues for instilling awareness and appreciation of ASEAN among the youth is important because they are our future leaders.” The respondents concurred with the idea of using school textbooks to educate young people about ASEAN. Building awareness of the association, many expressed during the focus group discussions, should start in primary school. Other recommended strategies include holding cultural heritage activities that emphasize unity in diversity and increased use of traditional and social media. ###

visited Marawi four times — July 20, August 4, August 24 and September 11 — but in all these visits, media coverage was not allowed. Photographs and video of the visits are released by Malacanang along with transcripts of the speeches. “Be a model of decorum” Samira Ali Gutoc of the Ranao Rescue Team told MindaNews that while the visit to the mosque shows President Duterte has “control and authority already, that we are nearing return to normalcy” but “in according respect to holy sites in this Islamic City, we urge the President to bring Islamic leaders on his side so the commander is advised of decorum inside a mosque.” “We urge observance of courtesy in entry to mosques, no sandals much more so boots inside. As state authorities, we urge they be model of decorum of how citizens treat religious installations,” she said. “We cannot even bear selfies in war zone, what more smiling in bullet-ridden mosque,” Gutoc added. Rufa Cagoco Guiam, a retired professor who is an expert in gender and development in armed conflict contexts and in peace studies, said the release of the photographs by Malacanang is “like rubbing salt to the wounds of war of the Meranaws.” Guiam said the President “needs to acknowledge this not only a faux pas but a serious affront to the cultural and religious sensibilities of the Meranaws and all Muslim Filipinos. Pero I guess this is asking for the moon. So

Friday, September 15, 2017 let him be; later his loyal department of explanation, apology and retraction will come to his rescue! Guiam, who served as the first Moro woman editor in chief of the country’s longest running Catholic newspaper, The Mindanao Cross, in Cotabato City, said “the offended must not be the one to beg the offender to offer an apology. He owes it to the offended. In other words he is the one to seek that forgiveness from the ones he offended.” “Sacrilege” Robert Maulana Marohombsar Alonto, a former senior member of the peace panel of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front wrote on his Facebook wall: “We condemn in strongest terms any sacrilege done to our mosques or inside our mosques. It’s the right thing to do as Muslims. We should not tolerate any disrespect to our Faith by anybody, whether by a President or state security forces.” But Alonto, a supporter of Duterte particularly on his war on drugs and federalism, also asked his fellow Muslims to go into introspection. “We ought to condemn, too, any act of desecration or destruction done to churches, synagogues, or places of worship. It’s the right thing to do as Muslims. Salahudin al-Ayoubi prohibited it during the war against the European crusaders because Islam does not condone it. So why was there no loud outrage expressed when the ISIS thugs destroyed and burned a Christian church in Marawi City?” Alonto asked. The Maute Group later sent out through social media a video clip showing how they destroyed religious icons inside the St. Mary’s Church. Drieza Lininging, SecretaryGeneral of the Bangsamoro National Movement for Peace and Development and co-founder of the militant youth organization, Free The Bangsamoro Movement, likens the photos or Duterte’s visit to the mosque to President Joseph Estrada’s “bringing of pork and liquor inside Camp Abubakar after liberating it from the MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) in year 2000.” Liningding, who actively campaigned for a Duterte Presidency and was an avid supporter of the President until the early days of the Marawi siege, said it is “forbidden for non-Muslims to set foot inside the masjid (Arabic for mosque) as we consider this holy. Even Muslims are prohibited from entering without proper ablution, especially with the presence of Mocha, a symbol of what many Muslims will consider as pornography.” “I would like to remind the President that the Islamic Center was occupied by the MG- ISIS they don’t own this, this masjid Islamic Center is considered to be the house of Allah (S.W.T.) for the People of Marawi’s use to worship him, our Almighty Creator! There is no need to liberate this as a symbol of victory,” he said. ‘No fire’ areas’ For three months of aerial bombardment, the military said they made sure mosques are “no fire” areas. On June 14, Galvez announced

“we will not bomb or target any mosque” as mosques have “never been our target,” adding this was “the reason why I had more than 50 killed in action and 297 wounded in action because of our extremely restrictive rules of engagements.” As of September 11, the number of soldiers killed had reached 145, the number of wounded over a thousand. In Malacanang also on June 14, Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla, AFP spokesperson reiterated that the AFP is “firm in its commitment to use other options that would flush out this Maute/Daesh-inspired group from these places of worship that they have converted into machine gun and sniper nest, defensive position, and arsenals for their war activities.” He assured Muslims that they will “not go down to the level of these terrorists who desecrate places of worship to lure government security forces into responding to their violent activities in a similar manner.” Three months later, the Islamic Center still stands as promised by government, but the President and the military are facing criticisms of “desecration.” MindaNews asked Galvez why the basic rule of removing shoes before entering the mosque, among others, was not followed in Monday’s visit. He sent no reply. Religious sensitivity “The least that the President and his men could do now to the almost half a million displaced Meranaws is to show some religious sensitivity. Their presence and of Mocha could be considered by many Muslims as a desecration of our Masjid. The President should apologize for this, if he still cares for our feelings. I personally condemn this act. They could take picture outside but not from inside,” Liningding said. In a statement, Assemblyman Zia Alonto Adiong, spokesperson of the Provincial Crisis Management Committee, said that while the President’s visit to the Islamic Center is another statement that signifies the war in Marawi is coming to an end, “we should avoid actions that may offend our Muslim brothers and sisters.” “We advise caution to our officials to prudently carry out their mandate in a manner that conforms with religious standards and protocols when entering religious establishments in order to maintain respect to the sensitive nature of places of worship,” he said. Adiong reiterated it is “our civic duty and our obligation as peace loving citizens of this country to support our troops on the ground” but added that it is “also our moral obligation, civilians and officials alike, to guide our actions based on religious sensitivities and common respect towards religious establishments of every faith.” Adiong posted in a Viber group a photograph of his son and nephew at the Islamic Center during the Eid’l Fitr celebration last year. “Notice how we teach our kids to leave their slippers and not to bring them inside the holy ground,” wrote Adiong.

Vows...

Of course, the purpose of the government’s intercession is to protect not only the reputation of the accused, but also the disenchantment of the frustrated public as well. And, while the government intervention, e.g. Malacañang conducting a probe on alleged corrupt practices of a public official provides relief, it could only be appreciated when the result of the probe is expected by the many. Otherwise, the probe would only turn out like a lowly rated theatrical act, that gets a rant instead of raves. One remembers the case of former Governor Vicente Emano, of Misamis Oriental, before he became Mayor in Cagayan De Oro City in the early 90s. Malacañang then interceded in booting Emano out of the governor’s office by sending a battalion of Marines. The Palace has to employ the worse in their desire to grab power, even without basis. They succeeded, but they lost the faith of the people. Another was the case of former Governor Antonio Calingin, of Misamis Oriental, who was also forcibly evicted from his office when the former was in Manila. The state used its police power to get what it wants even when the people resist. Perhaps, the scenario would be different if the state uses its power to unseat a public official with a string of graft cases and dismissal orders. Will Pres. Duterte has the power to employ the state forces against public officials he thinks are “closer to his heart?” They said: That is a 64 dollar question. -0 Email reaction/comments: crisguardian@yahoo.com

companions had already been filed at a family court here on Wednesday, Sept. 13. The suspects, according to the City Prosecutor’s Office “willfully, unlawfully, feloniously and knowingly kidnap, detain and deprived the liberty” of two children, aged 4 and 6. Gorre said Andrews was arrested based on the testimony of “Annie” (not her real name) who came to their office to ask for certification so she could board a boat for Negros Oriental. In her social media account, Annie puts her address as Bayawan City, Negros Oriental. Gorre said Annie has no identification card with her prompting her to request for a certification from the Marpsta last Monday, Sept. 11. Annied had with her a young girl, whom she claimed as her niece and she acted as the minor’s guardian. When pressed further, Annie admitted that she was trying to escape from Andrews’ home in a housing subdivision in uptown Cagayan de Oro because she could no longer bear living with the suspect and his Filipino wife. She told investigators she got out of the house in the wee hours of Saturday, Sept. 9. She then stayed at a friend’s boarding house before going to the Marpsta. She said she first met Andrews on an online dating site and formed a romantic relationship with him. Annie said Andrews came to the country to meet her sometime in 2015 while she was still in Bayawan. They then moved to this city where they rented a house before Andrews bought a housing unit in a posh subdivision. While they were living in, she said Andrews had another relationship with “Lisa” (not her real name). And instead of tying the knot with Annie, the New Zealander actually got married to Lisa. Annie said Lisa and her were living together with the suspect where he would take turns in going to bed with the two women. The suspect, she added, also asked her to go back home to Negros Oriental to look for children he can adopt. Annie brought with her the four-year-old “Nene,” and “Rain,” aged 6. These are not their real names. According to investigators, the children were kept inside the house and it was alleged that the male suspect took photos of them and send them to other men online. Andrews or his legal counsel has yet to issue a statement to the media as of this writing.

Pagalungan National High School opens Story and photos by MARK FRANCISCO

PAGALUNGAN National High School opened its new campus last Wednesday after the city government led by Mayor Oscar Moreno turned over a six-classroom building to the Cagayan de Oro City Schools Division led by superintendent Elena Borcillo in barangay Pagalungan, this city. Fifty-two sixth and seventh graders from Lumbia National High School who are all residents in barangay Pagalungan will initially occupy the new edifice and the institution will be known as Pagalungan National High School – Lumbia Annex. Barangay Pagalungan borders barangay Lumbia. In the past, it was the d re a m of Pa g a lu n g a n

barangay chair Eric Nafarette to have his own public high school in the barangay and that dream is now fulfilled mainly through the efforts of two persons – Moreno and Engr. Armen Cuenca. Cuenca, a City Hall employee, donated his one-hectare property with a specif ic condition that it be constructed into a schoolbuilding. “I have high hopes for our children. They will be the ones to lead the next generation that is why I was inspired to donate the land,” Cuenca said. Dubbed as the Education Champion in this part of the island, Moreno has been building public classrooms since the start of his first term in 2013 were automatically culled through the funds of the from realty taxes as manLocal School Board which dated by law.

Shine in the area that you can do The Gospel of Jesus Christ (September15, 2017-Friday)And say unt o him, By what authority doest thou these things? This is the incident of the scripture that Jesus was question of His ministerial works. What was the reason behind? Be not overcome

of evil, but “overcome evil with good.” Do you love your enemies? Sometimes we are underestimated by the people around us.They are particular of our external achievements. They don’t know that God’s perspective is different because he is particular on your inner qualities.

You are his child forever that’s why he never puts you down and underestimated because no matter what, he loves you. Be proud of who you are because God was not mistaken in creating you. Be proud who you are because God is very proud of you. Do not mind what the other

people say about you because God has positive comments on you. If ever you are misunderstood by others, do not worry because God never treated you like the others. Develop your strengths because it will bring you to where God wants you to go. Shine in the area that you can

What Teachers Really Do Over Summer Break By Marife Fernandez Barbarona - Teacher II

What Teachers Really Do Over Summer Break? Teachers work really hard, and while most of the world would have you believe we are so lucky to have summers off, I wonder how many teachers actually TAKE the summer off. I don’t. T h e re i s a l w ay s a new curriculum to learn (especially with all the changes going on), new assessments and programs, new lessons, new methods, professional development, and planning. I also tutor (as do many of my colleagues) during the summer, participate

in summer programs, and try to catch up on reading the latest educational blogs, sourcing interest, and reading twitter comments. However, with just a handful of days left unt i l anot her s cho ol year comes to an end, I thought it would be fun to have students write down what they think teachers do during the summer break. I loved the responses so much that I had to share the most creative answers! In addit ion to my student responses about teachers’ summer activities, this list also contains what I told my students

about what teachers really do over the summer (or at least what I do). Teachers keep track of the days until school starts again because they miss it so much! While teachers are good at keeping track of days, and knowing just how many we have remaining during the school year, I don’t know too many teachers who have a “I can’t wait until school starts again” c o u nt d ow n c a l e n d a r hanging on their refrigerator. Most teachers welcome a few weeks to gather themselves (recoup if you will), and prepare for the following year.

Volunteers from government agencies, local government units, civil society organizations, private sector, youth, academe, communities and concerned stakeholders will take part in the celebration of International Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday, September 16. The yearly celebration is observed every third Saturday of September per Presidential Proclamation No. 470 to protect and conserve our coastal and marine environment. In Region X, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources spearheads the activity with the cleanup of beaches/shorelines, rivers, creeks and waterways. (RSCIS # 09-291-2017)

Trade exec eyes more investments from China; leads PH delegation at 14th China-ASEAN Expo Spearheading promotion efforts under the blooming economic relations with China, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Undersecretary for Trade and Investments Promotion Group Nora K. Terrado led the Philippine Delegation to the 14th ChinaASEAN (CAEXPO) and 14th China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit (CABIS) held from 12 to 15 September at the Nanning International Convention and Exhibition Center (NICEC) in Guangxi Province, China. Comprising the Philippine contingent of over 100 participants are local export companies, Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) such as the Board of Investments (BOI), Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), Subic Bay Metropolitan Area (SBMA), Clark Development Corporation (CDC), and the Mindanao Development Authority (MINDA) as well as businessmen and government sector representatives aiming to promote Philippine tourism and business opportunities to the huge Chinese and Southeast Asian market. “This is an opportune time for the Philippines to fully present its potential as an investment destination to the Chinese market. It is also a chance for

Philippine exporters to meet with potential partners and buyers of their products and services and see how they can maximize the booming trend in China,” said DTI Undersecretary Terrado. The country’s contingent in China highlighted the Philippines’ trade potential through an exhibit of products and commodities from various sectors, including home, fashion and wearables, gifts, handicraft, personal care, and food. Moreover, the Philippine participation also gave spotlight to this year’s Philippine featured destination, the province of Aurora. Tagged as the “Province of Charm”, the Aurora provincial government led by Vice Governor Rommel Angara, presented its booming tourism industry and economic potential particularly its agriculture sector. “High on our agenda as we send Philippine trade missions abroad is opening more opportunities for countryside development. That is why we are happy to introduce Aurora province to the Chinese and Southeast Asian market as it has tremendous potential in the tourism and agriculture sector,” explained Terrado. Currently, Aurora’s growth is primarily driven by agriculture. The sector employs approximately half of its population with

about 49,991 hectares or 15% of the provincial land area classified as cultivated farmlands. Major crops include rice, coconut, coffee, bananas, root crops, corn, citrus fruits, peanuts, and abaca. The province is also a major producer of the Philippine’s coconut distilled alcoholic drink known as “lambanog,” and “tuba” which are made from the sap of coconut tree flowers. Terrado served as the key speaker at the China-Philippines Production Capacity and Investment Cooperation Forum co-organized by the National Development and Reform Commission of China and the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) of the Philippines. Meanwhile, a Philippine Investment Promotion Conference was also held at the sidelines of the CAEXPO on 13 September, jointly organized by DTI Board of Investments, Center for International Trade Exhibitions and Mission (CITEM) and Philippine Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs). The China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) is co-sponsored by Ministries/Department of Commerce or industry and trade of China and the 10 ASEAN member states and was organized by the People’s Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It is considered as the

While the feeding program was in progress, another Oro Integrated Cooperative team led by Melissa Inocente conducted a lecture to sixth graders and encouraged them to join the cooperative’s Youth Savers

Club. The Youth Savers Club is a group of young Oro Integrated Cooperative members aged seven to 17. With only P100 as initial savings, any child and youth can already be a member of the Youth Savers Club. According to Inocente, there are already 20,000 members of the Youth Savers Club. Oro Integrated Cooperative was founded in 1966 in this city. It has expanded all over Visayas and Mindanao and now has a roster of around 150,000 members under its fold.
