Moreno appeals Ombud’s decision Volume VII, No. 101 Website: www.mindanaodailynews.com

By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Embattled Mayor Oscar Moreno has filed an appeal contesting the Ombudsman’s six decisions dated May 2, May 3, May 5, June 1, June 19 and June 23 in filing 18 counts of graft and corruption complaint before the Sandiganbayan.

In a 30-page pleading dated September 4, Moreno through his lawyer Dale Bryan Mordeno said that the Office of the Ombudsman has erred in its decisions to indict him.

The Ombudsman based its decisions on a Commission on Audit (COA) communique dated February 3 stating that Moreno’s lease of heavy equipment when he was governor of Misamis Oriental from 2007 to 2012 has been disallowed.

Moreno said in his appeal that the Ombudsman failed to appreciate the fact that COA’s February 3 letter explicitly stated that the notice of disallowance is still under review after Moreno had appealed it.

Moreno had earlier contested the 2013 notice of disallowance, saying that the team conducting the special audit on which the disallowance was based, failed to summon the former governor for an exit conference so his side could have been heard. That appeal is currently pending with COA. “It bears emphasis that the purpose of an exit conference is to discuss the highlights of the audit findings with the auditee and/or See appeals, page 11

Real estate boom spurns land rows in Brgy Indahag

By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Recent real estate developments in the uptown barangay of Indahag here have spurned two major land disputes, according to Indahag barangay chair Melitonia Patriana.

In a press conference last week, Patriana identified one of the major projects as a direct access road from barangay Indahag to upper Carmen directly leading to SM City Cagayan de Oro. The other boom in the area is the opening of the sprawling mountaintop amusement facility Sierra del Oro, which initially offered last year its flagship restaurant and paragliding business called Hugo Skye Lounge.

Patriana envisioned Indahag as the renewed growth center of Cagayan de Oro after recent mall and condo developments downtown have saturated.

It did not help that the closure of the old Lumbia airport has resulted to a bane in businesses uptown, Patriana said. But recent infrastructure developments Bureau of Customs Commissioner Isidro Lapeña (center) talks to his men during his visit to the Mindanao Container have renewed interest to Terminal (MCT) in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental on Friday.

Lapeña: BOC plays vital role in anti-drug campaign

By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City-The Bureau of Customs (BOC) plays an important role in the government’s war on illegal drugs, Customs Commissioner Isidro Lapeña said Friday.

As the former head of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), Lapeña said his new assignment is no different from

his previous work as an anti-drug crusader as both agencies are tasked to stop the proliferation of illegal drugs in the country.

Lapeña, who took over the BOC leadership from Nicanor Faeldon, said the Customs bureau has an active participation in the Duterte government’s war on drugs.

“I have not left the campaign against illegal drugs,

since in Customs, if we are able to prevent the entry of illegal drugs through the seaports, then we prevent about 70 percent of entry of illegal drugs in the country,” he told reporters during his visit to the BOC Northern Mindanao district on Friday, Sept. 15.

When asked to elaborate, Lapeña declined to give an estimated worth of the See plays, page 11

‘Makabayan’ leaves House majority bloc MALAYBALAY City--The seven party list representatives of the Makabayan Bloc on Thursday broke away from the majority coalition in the House of Representatives in protest over what they called “a fascist, pro-imperialist and antipeople regime” of President Rodrigo Duterte.

In a statement, the Makabayan Bloc cited Duterte’s “neoliberal economic policies, disdain for human rights especially in his war on drugs, anti-crime and counterinsurgency campaigns, his rehabilitation of the former dictator Marcos, and his propensity

for strongman rule” as its reasons for leaving the coalition.

It noted that it joined the majority because Duterte promised change but remained critical of his policies.

The statement said the bloc was encouraged by the President’s pronouncements on resuming the peace talks with the National Democratic Front of the Philippines, releasing political prisoners, pursuing an independent foreign policy, addressing the roots of the Moro rebellion, among others.

“His unprecedented de-

cision to appoint leftists and activists to crucial cabinet posts – Judy Taguiwalo at the DSWD, Gina Lopez at the DENR, Liza Maza at the NAPC, and Rafael Mariano at the DAR – provided openings for pursuing such reforms,” it added.

The Commission on Appointments had rejected the appointments of Taguiwalo, Lopez and Mariano.

Duterte had terminated talks with the NDFP and declared martial law in Mindanao after the Marawi siege erupted on May 23.

“With Marawi being bombed to the ground and its resulting humanitarian crisis, the Moro peace process is spiraling downward.

geting to have the Bangsamoro Basic Law passed by December this year and ratified in a plebiscite in May next year. However, the bill is not among those certified as urgent by Malacanang.

“Pres. Duterte has turned back on his promise to ‘separate’ from the US, even as he has allowed China to continue occupying the West Philippine Sea. His ‘independent foreign policy’ has turned out to be a farce.

He is now as dependent as ever on the US for national security and has practically abandoned our valid and internationally recognized claims of sovereignty and territory in the West Philippine Sea in exchange for China’s promises of aid and investments,” the statement said.

“Worst of all, his ‘war on drugs’ has turned into a campaign of mass murder of the poor, for which he shows no signs of turning back,” it added.

Duterte’s war on drugs has claimed the lives of thousands of suspects many of whom were said to be

victims of extrajudicial killings.

The Makabayan Bloc further said that Duterte and his allies are “embarking on efforts to undermine the very institutions that serve as a check on his Executive powers,” referring to the P1,000 budget for the Commission on Human Rights approved by the House, attacks against the Ombudsman, and the impeachment complaint against Supreme Court Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno.

“Now that he is pushing for an insidious revision of the Constitution, now that he has revived his threat to declare martial law nationwide and impose a revolutionary government, we resolve to intensify efforts to defeat the emergence of a new dictatorship,” it added.

The Makabayan Bloc includes Representatives Antonio Tinio and France Castro (Act Teachers), Emmi de Jesus and Arlene Brosas (Gabriela Women’s Party), Carlos Isagani Zarate (Bayan Muna), Ariel Casilao (Anakpawis), Sarah Elago (Kabataan). (MindaNews)

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.

By 2019, Gensan airport will have an expanded passenger terminal building

MILF, MNLF to help in campaign vs illegal drugs KIDAPAWAN City--Commanders from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and Moro National Liberation Front have vowed to to help in the government’s campaign against illegal drugs, a police official said.

Senior Supt. Jonathan Tangonan, officer-in-charge of the Cotabato Police Provincial Office, said the commanders manifested their support in a covenant signed after a “special meeting” Thursday with the local

police and the municipal government of Matalam, North Cotabato.

Tangonan said Mayor Gigi Valdevieso-Catamco called for the meeting which was also attended by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in Region 12 and the provincial police office.

Tangonan said the commanders admitted during the meeting that they have relatives who are using and selling drugs.

“These commanders said the illegal drug trade has disturbed their communities for so long. Sometimes this caused rido or family feuds among them,” said Tangonan in an interview over Catholic-run DXND. Police records showed Matalam town is considered a “hot spot” of illegal drugs.

The same records showed that two Moro communities in Matalam poblacion serve as “dropping points” See Campaign, page 7

The CYNOSURE

Talks of martial law bared as CBCP mounts protest READ my mind. There is now a strong indication that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is going to declare a nationwide military rule. Call it nonsensical, but the grounds for the declaration of the nationwide Martial Law is gradually shaping up.

Undoubtedly, this time, the Roman Catholic Church has started the laying of the groundwork for the imposition of the military rule.

Starting this week, the Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) has directed all Roman Catholic Churches to toll the church bells at 8:00 p.m. for at least five minutes.

In a statement, the CBCP said that the tolling of the church bells would be to honor the victims of the atrocities of Pres. Duterte’s anti-illegal drug war. The tolling of the bells would last for 40 nights.

Political observers interpreted the CBCP’s action as a signal of a nationwide protest, expected to heighten during the Martial Law anniversary next month of Sept. 21. In response, Duterte could be entertaining several options.

Perhaps, Duterte would

expand Martial Law from Mindanao to the entire island of the country. However, the declaration of Martial Law throughout the country would likely depend on how the protesters would carry themselves during the planned street protests.

This early, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) are preparing for the Sept. 21 mass protests. While Duterte welcomed the protests. He promised to allow the protesters to freely express their sentiments, but, he warned that the government is ready to meet any anarchy in the street with equal heat.

The President knows that the leftist and the militant organizations would take center stage during the scheduled rally in September and beyond.

With the failure of the peace talk between the government and the National Democratic Front (NDF), the hope for the revival of the peace negotiation is nil. The situation was exacerbated with the open verbal tussle of Duterte and Jose Maria Sison, the founding chairman of the Communist Party of the

Philippines (CPP). Aside from the personal verbal tirade of Duterte and Sison, the militant groups in the country have expressed dismay over the rejection of cabinet Secretaries who were appointed by the President. The secretary of the country’s social welfare and development and the department of the agrarian reform has the backing and support of the militant group.

The rejection of the Commissions on Appointment (CA) of Social Welfare Secretary Judy Tagiwalo and Agrarian Reform Secretary Ka. Paeng Mariano has bolstered the thoughts that the rejection was an offshoot of the failure of the peace talk.

The government’s negotiating panel, however, still hopes that the resumption of the talks would take place anytime soon.

Matter of fact, the government has reported that a “back channel” negotiation with the reds has been going on since the peace talk scuttled mid this year. It is, however, unfortunate that the government made the announcement only a day after the CBCP announced

Cris Diaz

the impending mass rally in September.

Perhaps, the peace talk would no longer go any further when the leftist has replied that they have rejected the call of the GRP to return to the negotiating table. In the light of this development, the CBCP’s call could result in street protest, which might end up physical.

Duterte told top military officials that a nationwide martial law would likely happen if the protesters would initiate actions that would trigger civil disturbance. Like in the past, a visceral street protest led to the burning of tires in the streets and paralyzing the transportation. Duterte has issued a warning that the government would not tolerate anarchy in the street and would meet the protesters along the way, if only to quell the anarchy.

The other day, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana issued a statement to dispel the reports that President Duterte would declare Martial Law throughout the See protest, page 11

BRANDS can be several times more valuable than one’s business. Companies like McDonald’s and Starbucks are unarguably successful brands. Their brands are worth more than all their equipment, capital goods and buildings.

The armed services like the US Army, Navy, or Air Force make sure their people make their brand physically, mentally and spiritually.

This is true in one of the most elite fighting units in the world—the Navy SEALs (which means sea, air and land). In selecting Navy SEALs, the aspirants undergo an extremely arduous two-year training where 75 to 90 percent cannot usually make it into the list of SEALs. Every SEAL wannabe undergoes “drown proofing” where they are bound hand and foot, thrown into deep water and should get into the surface, somehow while holding their breath. Then they must swim 50 meters while still bound.

The worst challenge for the SEAL aspirants might be the “Hell Week”—a period

where hopefuls are kept awake for 20 hours a day, doing punishing drills, while constantly invited to quit.

At the conclusion of Hell Week, aspirants who do not quit face a hose of freezing cold water to induce hypothermia; then they swim for miles through the ocean.

After swimming, their instructors hand them a mug of hot chocolate, but can only drink it if they admit failure and drop out—the hardest many SEALs have ever done.

When the SEAL Team Six killed Osama Bin Laden, their brand reverberated throughout the world. Their code of silence even made their brand more powerful.

Another legend of all times in terms of brandbuilding was Attila the Hun. His reputation preceded him so powerfully that opposing armies often bow out before fighting him. Although his leadership spanned from 434 to 453 A.D., people still speak of Attila. This is brand power.

Even criminal minds or organizations have brands.

They strike fear every-

where—Yakuza of Japan, Cali cartel and Medellin cartel of Columbia, Bernie Madoff and Charles Ponzi.

What do these examples say about companies that merely provide a barrage of meaningless and loud advertising? They are not building brands and are just becoming a nuisance.

I am touring you to the stories of brands because we are facing brand-challenged political parties and their henchmen.

When Congress approved the P1,000 budget for the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), the naïve made a noise. But what everyone must see is what or who is behind Chito Gascon, its chief. Gascon used to be the 2009 leader of the Liberal Party (LP) and also suborned vice president Leni Robredo towards speaking what a political party thinks about the Philippine scenario before the UN. Gascon’s actions are clearly not reflecting the mandate of CHR which is to protect the rights of everyone, regardless of party affiliation.

Gascon just made his office

Lucell Larawan

an extension of LP. Since he obviously made CHR as an attack dog for the Liberal Party—even destroying the country’s image before the international community— Gascon must first look at the mirror and see for himself whether he is still valuable to society with his political biases using CHR. He and CHR lost the brand: the P1,000 budget for 2018 might even be too much for his betrayal of the public’s trust.

In order to redeem the real value of CHR, it must be rid of all political ISIS and vicious mercenaries from any party. It needs apolitical public servants with non-selective hearts.

And what about the brand of the Liberal Party and senator Antonio Trillanes? The Liberal Party nose dived when former president Benigno Aquino III tolerated his cousin at NAIA and the talim-bala.

The LP lost its magnet when See brands, page 11

DTI to provide advisory and mentoring services program for Cavite MSMEs The Department of Trade and Industry, in partnership with the Canadian Executive Service Organization (CESO), recently launched the Building Enterprises through Advisory and Mentoring Services (BEAMS) Project in General Trias, Cavite to help micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by enlisting assistance from volunteer mentors.

The BEAMS project is an offshoot of CESO’s conduct of training and workshop in CALABARZON region and is anchored on the Bayanihan spirit by establishing a pool of home-grown mentors and coaches in each province of the region.

DTI CALABARZON Regional Director Marilou Q. Toledo said the BEAMS program will help MSMEs in the aspects of production management, productivity improvement, financial planning and management, product development through mentoring from DTI and CESO experts.

“BEAMS mentors will provide business diagnostics and assessment of business operations of our Shared Ser vice Facilities (SSF) cooperators and MSMEs and counsel them on production management, productivity improvement, financial planning and management, product development, among others, which will suit the needs of each SSF and MSME,” Toledo said.

Cavite is the second

province in CALABARZON to kick off BEAMS this year after Quezon.

The Shared Ser vice Facilities (SSF) Program is an equipment sharing program aiming to assist micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through sophisticated machinery, equipment, tools, systems, skills and knowledge under a shared system.

The SSF Program provides MSMEs access to better technology and more sophisticated equipment that could boost productivity and improve

ANNEX “B” Publication Notice R.A. 10172

efficiency, as well as address the gaps and bottle necks in the global value chain being faced by MSMEs, which comprise 99.6% of locally registered businesses, generating over one million jobs a year.

The equipmentsharing program also increases capabilities of both manufacturing and agriculture-based MSMEs to enable them to develop capacity and a culture of quality.

House of Representatives approves proposed 2018 National Budget

MANILA - The House of Representatives approved on second reading the proposed P3.767 trillion National Budget for Fiscal Year 2018 on Tuesday, September 12.

The Lower House began plenary deliberations on the Budget last Monday, September 4, as the lawmakers pushed for the passage of the General Appropriations Bill (House Bill 6215).

Over the past week, government agencies defended their respective budgets in the plenary debates at the Lower Chamber. This came after the various departments hurdled the careful scrutiny of lawmakers at the Committee level of the House of Representatives.

Appropriations Committee Chairperson, Hon. Karlo Alexei Nograles, previously urged his fellow lawmakers to carefully examine every peso that went into the programs, activities, and projects of the government.

Moreso, he emphasized the importance of the National Budget in bringing to life the development agenda of the Duterte Administration. “At the end of the day, we want to pass a national budget that is just and attuned to the people’s needs,” Rep. Nograles said.

Gift certificates with expiry date banned

The House of Representatives this week unanimously approved on third and final reading House Bill 6016 that seeks to regulate the issuance, use and redemption of gift checks, gift cards and gift certificates.

House Bill No. 6016, otherwise known as the “Gift Check Non-Expiry Act,” makes it unlawful for any issuer to issue or sell a gift check, gift certificate and card gift that contains an expiry date.

The bill is in line with the policy of the State to protect the interest of the consumer, promote the general welfare and establish standards of conduct for business

See banned, page 11

For his part, DBM Secretary Benjamin Diokno welcomed the passage of the 2018 Budget at the Lower House. “Being a strong articulation of the government’s pro-growth and pro-poor policy, we ought to keep an eye on the National Budget. It embodies no less than the collective needs, hopes, and aspirations of our people,” said the Budget Secretary.

“We are optimistic of its progress in Congress and remain hopeful for its timely passage,” he added.

T h e L owe r Hou s e approved General Appropriations Bill will then be transmitted to the Senate, where Committee-level deliberations have also begun on the 2018 Budget. Both houses of Congress will then convene a Bicameral Conference Committee to reconcile disparities between their respective versions of the General Appropriations Bill.

The proposed P3.767 trillion 2018 National Budget, 12.4 percent higher than last year’s Budget, amounts to 21.6 percent of GDP. It will support the government’s objectives of achieving robust and inclusive growth of 7 to 8 percent in 2018. (DBM)

DND says conflict in Marawi nearing its end The Department of National Defense on Friday, September 15, announced that the ongoing rebellion in Marawi City is nearing its end, with only less than two barangays left with the presence of Maute terrorists.

“Konti na lang ‘yung natitira rito. This is just one and a half barangaywide. The area is just one and a half barangays.

That’s why I’ve been told by our ground commanders that malapit na raw,” Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said during the Mindanao Hour press briefing in Malacañan.

He said the military has not set a deadline but assured that government troops are “doing their best.”

“So konting tiis na lang.

Anyway, our troops are doing their best,” he said.

The Cabinet official also announced that transitional shelter areas are already being built, noting that flooring for the transitional shelters have started last September 8.

He added that Task Force Bangon Marawi Subcommittee on Housing met on September 13 to discuss the provision of water supply in the transitional shelter site in Marawi City.

Lorenzana said Filinvest, who has expressed its willingness to assist the Task Force in the provision of water supply, will meet with Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) to work on a plan to provide the service.

He further noted that the Office of Civil Defense’s Quick Response Fund may be utilized to See says, page 11

Small businesses seen to increase IT spending on Cloud services Among the various technologies available for businesses, Cloud is definitely right on top of the minds of executives all over the world. According to IDC’s latest Worldwide Semi-annual Public Cloud Services Spending Guide, global spending on public Cloud services will grow up to $141 billion in 2019, and SMBs will contribute 40% or roughly $56 billion of that amount. Here in the Philippines, a trend analysis report

by BMI Research shows that Cloud computing is expected to account for 13% of the Philippine IT services market by 2020, with digitization of government agencies and SMBs being the two main driving factors.

For local leading digital enabler ePLDT, these studies just show how the Cloud is essential for small businesses to achieving growth and success. “Studies consistently show that the Cloud is playing and will continue to play a huge role in driving growth for the business community as companies look for better and much more affordable solutions. This is especially true for SMBs as it addresses common pain points and more importantly, fills in resource gaps. Also, with a predominantly young and mobile-centric workforce, SMBs and startups stand to benefit from the Cloud,” said

ePLDT Group Chief Operating Officer Nerisse Ramos.

A low-cost, no-worry solution One reason for the Cloud’s popularity among small businesses is its ability to drastically reduce total cost of ownership, requiring customers to pay only for what they need and when they need it. The servers hosted

by Cloud service providers enable mass-scale computing power and minimize IT requirements and physical storage, providing significant savings. Additionally, the choice frees a company the workload needed to manage and operate servers, which includes the arduous tasks of updating and upgrading necessary hardware and software.

“Free of initial upfront costs, Cloud-based solutions managed by professionals can help small business owners simplify their daily operations so they can focus on growing and expanding their business. This course of action can be vital in helping SMBs compete against large enterprises,” said Ramos.

With limited staff, an SMB simply may not have the capability to operate and maintain its IT infrastructure while at the same time continue business operations.

Fortunately, developments in technology have made

it possible for them to shift their critical workloads into the Cloud and create new levels of agility for their solutions through an IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) model. This enables SMBs to distribute workloads between entire regions to support more customers and even load-balance applications to ensure optimal performance.

“The Cloud helps create that level of agility without the burden of acquiring more hardware or software, which for small businesses is a huge benefit,” explained Ramos.

Access to software 24/7 Aside from Infrastructure, SMBs can also opt to use only certain software through the Cloud in a SaaS (Softwareas-a-Service) model. With the SaaS model, businesses consume as a service only the crucial applications and programs required for dayto-day business operations.

These applications run on the provider’s Cloud infrastructure, making them accessible from various devices like browser or mobile.

Leveraging on the nation’s largest and most robust network, ePLDT, together with PLDT Enterprise, empowers Filipino businesses with its Cloud services designed to optimize efficiency, continuity, connectivity, and enhanced customer experience.

grading 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 power house, installation of precision approach lighting system, construction of its administrative building, repair and improvement of the control tower, construction of a satellite fire station with access road, and the construction of a sewerage treatment plant.

Cachuela said CAAP is currently working on the

detailed engineering design of these projects.

“But the funds are already available and ready to be downloaded to CAAP from the DOTr,” she said.

The city airport, which is classified by CAAP as an alternate international airport, has not undergone any major repair since it opened in 1996.

It serves the air transport requirements of the greater part of Region 12 which comprises the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, North Cotabato, and the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Tacurong, Kidapawan and Cotabato.

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 up-

Water district building toilets along Dvo River

D

AVAO CITY - The Davao City Water District (DCWD) is building a dozen new technology toilet cubicles in barangays along the banks of the Davao River.

“Under our Corporate Social Responsibility we identified areas in need of toilets where we can address their sanitary prob-

lems.” Atty. Bernard Delima, spokesperson of the DCWD said.

Barangay 76-A and Barangay 40-D (Bucana) will have six toilets each constructed in identified lots donated by the respective barangay . The location is located along Davao River’s estuary.

Delima said the toilets

will be using Norwegian technology provided by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).

“DOST will be providing the technical expertise while we provide the financing.”

Delima said.

A six cubicle toilet costs around P120,000, which is cheaper as compared to a regular toilet, where a

two-door cubicle will cost around P100,000.

The DCWD is planning to identify three to five more riverside barangays for the toilet project.

The technology provides a water treatment facility which reuses wastewater, thus saving as much as 50% of water as compared to a regular toilet. pia

Pres Duterte to allow peaceful demonstrations President Rodrigo Roa Duterte gave his word that he will allow the Reds and other organizations to hold peaceful demonstrations in public areas.

During his interview with Er win Tulfo’s “Sa Totoo Lang” aired via PTV 4 on Friday, September 15, the President relayed his thoughts on the day of the protest.

“You promised to bring all the Lumads from the mountains na sympathetic sa inyo. I would urge it, that you do it para makita talaga natin ang mga naghihinakit rin sa gobyerno,” the President said, referring to the statement of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) to bring Lumads to their demonstration.

“So if it’s a massive demonstration, at this early, I am announcing that I am ordering a holiday para walang masaktan, walang ano kung may demonstration diyan, magkagulo. Walang trabaho ang gobyerno ‘yang araw na 13 professional lechoners putting their finishing touches on their entries in the 5th lechon competition at the Rotary Park of Tagum.

Unending encouragement

By Jenilyn R. Legaspi Teacher III Kimolong Elementary School

Children arrive in your classroom from all different places; some are only coming from nearby places while others are coming from far-flung. Granted each of these children will bring a variety of knowledge and experiences with them as they enter the door and take a seat their desk. However, each pupil poses a challenge for all of us as teachers. On the first day, the environment we create and impression we make will influence that student far beyond those initial moments. This becomes our time to interact, influence, empower, and understand our pupils; each one of them all at the same time. Way back on my early years, it was easy to assume that they are fine and enjoy the

class. But, on the other way around, during assessment time they have lower scores due absences.

Little that I know despite of being innocent, they already knew how life works.

One of child’s letter says; “Dear maam, pasensiya kung mag absent ko karon kay mabantay ko ug mais nga among gibulad. Akong papa ug mama mananggi pa sad sila. Kami ra sa akong manghud. Nanghinaot sa inyong pagsabot.”

I wanted to learn as much about my pupils as they wanted to know about me.

I wanted to hear about their experiences, knowledge, and skills. I had hoped to utilize what I learned and build it them in my classes. It was then that I gave my pupil some advice. I said, “You will only get out of this class what

you put into it. I am a coach.

My job is to teach you how to develop a skill set by using the concepts that you learn.

It doesn’t matter how much I want you to succeed, YOU must want it for yourselves.”

However, to my surprise the children did better. I started asking them to complete problems during class discussions on the board as part of their class participation grade. I continued to offer tutoring sessions to those who requested help individually. Higher test scores were appearing with each chapter we completed. I may not have been the most popular instructor, but I had control of my classroom.

Unending encouragements involve not just in words but in action and does not involves one but two, the child and you.

born to become the leading model for your relatives. You are born to guide them and letting them to see your examples. You are born to magnet them towards the goodness that you have done for them to imitate and do it by their own. You are born to become proud of who you are no matter what is your family origin.

Do not deny the fact

Biblical reflection because God allows you to exist in that kind of races of life because he has a reason and purpose for your life.

Tell the world about your family background and status in order that God will be glorified because he has done something great in your inheritance. People will Bro. Edcel L. Closas appreciate you because you raise yourself up circumstance that you despite of the negative are in.

PARENTAL SUPPORT IN SCHOOL

By Mary Jane P. Cardiente, TI

Parents are centrally important by virtue of their concern with their child’s development and welfare, their affective relationship and extensive interaction history with their child, and their ability to provide the types of interactions that facilitate development and learning.

I suggest that parent’s responses to children’s transgressions and moral disputes and their explanations of the reasons for rules and expectations may facilitate children’s moral development. Reasoning and explanations must be domain-appropriate to help children focus on the consequences of their actions for others and delivered at a cognitive level that is

comprehensible to the child.

The conventional and traditional pattern of family, consisting of husband and wife, married and living together, is the best situation for child development. The teacher’s understanding of family is largely based on the teacher’s own family and if that of the child is a different nature, the teacher’s perception of the child’s family will be distorted and hence hamper the role effectiveness.

As a teacher, I believe on the importance of child development. Parents on the other hand are responsible for the overall development of the child; they play a very important role in the socializing process of the child.

Right from the bed time stories to the behavioral habits. In addition, with strong parental support, it helps enhance the level of learning performance of pupils and making them a responsible citizen.

Tagum, where different stalls lined up to sell or display their plants, livestock products, paintings, and other products. The competition was judged by Mr. Eric Balgona, the resident chef of Punong Restaurant 1 and 2, Ms. Amparo Lacandula, PhD, director of Quality Assurance and Development based in USEP, and Ms. Rhea Ann Tio-Gallemit, Meat Inspector of NMIS, Davao City.

Dr. Jesus Edullantes, the City Veterinarian pointed out the importance of the said competition, as a way to differentiate Tagum’s lechon from the neighboring cities. The competition also served as an essential tool in acknowledging the talents of the Tagumenyo lechoners.

The said competition was open for professional lechoners while the barangay based lechoners competition will be on September 16, 2017.

Mr. Eddie Buemil, the president of the Lechon Organization in Tagum is hoping for more success on the competition to come in the future. The increase in the number of participants this 2017 is a testament that the tradition of roasting lechon in Tagum City is definitely alive.

President Duterte assured that he would assign a lean number of policemen who will only be assigned to maintain traffic.

“As a matter of fact, I’m giving you all the space, all the streets.

Wala nang permit-permit. Sige, bahala kayo,” he said, noting that the right for redress of grievance, the right to free expression, and the right to free speech are guaranteed under the Constitution.

The Chief Executive, however, appealed to the protesters to remain peaceful and not to break the law.

“Ito lang ang hinihingi ko sa iyo: Huwag ninyong gawain na magsira kayo, you vandalize, magsunog kayo ng mga ganunganun,” he said.

“If you remain peaceful, I can assure you, no military or policeman other than the traffic cops will show their face there to threaten you,” the President said.

During the same interview, President Duterte said bank accounts of Senator Antonio Trillanes IV abroad are maintained at a certain range “to avoid detection in terms of large amounts of money.”

According to the President, the lawmaker has several currency accounts in Shanghai, Zurich, Geneva, and Singapore.

In addition, he said Trillanes has online savings account in ANZ and ABN AMRO in Shanghai.

The President said all foreign accounts of the senator are flagged as having international transactions.

He said Trillanes has four savings accounts in Cayman Islands, which were opened online, and four accounts in British Virgin Islands.

“Balances of these accounts are below 700, whereby most of the accounts are within the USD 100,000 – 300,000 range to avoid detection in terms of large amounts of money,” he said.

“Our providers suggested that before closing his Zurich bank account and Singapore bank account --- since all of these accounts are single accounts without co-depositor --- additionally the information that we provided has existing slips as evidence of these two accounts and were acknowledged to be in existence,” the President said.

According to Duterte, the

U.S. bank account in Zurich has a balance of $75,000 and the DBS account in Singapore has a balance of 193,000. pnd

Consistent with this policy, the State shall promote and encourage fair, honest, and equitable relations among parties in consumer transactions and protect consumers against deceptive, unfair and unconscionable sales acts and practices.

To achieve this purpose, the State, through the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) recognizes that a gift check, gift certificate, and gift card represent value held in trust by the issuer thereof on behalf of its beneficiary or bearer and as such, consumers must not be unduly deprived of the value of their money.

Rep. Winston Castelo (2nd District, Quezon City), principal author of the bill, said it is a well-acceptable view that since such check, certificate or card is bought with money, it must also be redeemable until used up by the holder or owner.

“Money does not expire unless it is already demonetized which rarely happens. So the same must apply to a gift certificate, check or card,” Castelo said.

Under the bill, the terms “Gift Check, Gift Certificate, and “Gift Card” refer to instruments issued to an individual, partnership, or a juridical entity for monetary consideration honored at a single merchant or an affiliated group of merchants as payment for consumer goods or services provided by such merchant or affiliated group of merchants upon presentation of said gift check, gift certificate, and gift card to the extent of the value, credit, or balance stored in the instrument.

The proposal prohibits the imposition of an expiry date on the stored value, credit, or balance in the gift check, gift certificate and gift card.

The gift check, gift certificate and gift card shall remain valid until the cessation of business of the issuer.

The gift check, gift certificate and gift card shall be sold at a discount of five percent percent from its face value by the juridical entity who issues or sells the gift check, gift certificate and gift card for which consumer goods or services will be exchanged.

The gift check, gift certificate and gift card that is sold at a discount shall not be used for the purchase of groceries.

A gift check, certificate and card that is issued to a consumer under an award, loyalty or promotional program is not covered under the bill.

An issuer may refuse to honor the gift check, gift certificate and gift card is when it is mutilated or defaced due to no fault of the issuer.

Another instance an issuer may refuse to honor the same is when it is lost due to no fault of the issuer as well.

The bill states promotional sales activities, loyalty programs, warranties, return policies for cash purchase and discounts for senior citizens and persons with disability as provided under relevant laws and regulations shall apply likewise to purchase of goods and services that are paid for with gift check, gift certificate and gift card.

Upon the effectivity of this Act, all gift checks already issued shall be covered by the provisions of this Act. The measure imposes, upon conviction, the penalty of imprisonment of not less than one year but not more than five years and fine of not less than P500,000 but not more than P1 million, or both, upon the discretion of the court, to any person who violates the provisions of this

Monday, September 18, 2017 Act or its implementing rules and regulations.

In terms of psychological interventions, Lorenzana said the Task Force Bangon Marawi, in partnership with Mindanao State University, Marawi Sultanate League, and the Philippine Army has conducted a moral recovery and psychological program on September 13 in Iligan City.

Meanwhile, the Defense Chief said more than P50 billion would be needed for the rehabilitation of the war-torn Islamic City.

He said foreign assistance continues to pour in, including P1 billion from Australia; P730 million from United States; P100 million from Japan; P100 million from Thailand; P85 million from China, wherein P70 million will be allocated for the wounded while the remaining P15 million will be for rehabilitation; and P49 million from European Union.

NEDA gives green light to MMSP During the same press briefing, Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Assistant Secretary Kris Ablan announced that National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) has approved the Philippines’ first subway project.

“The Department of Transportation’s Metro Manila Subway Project or MMSP, one of the Duterte administration’s key infrastructure projects, has been approved by the NEDA last Tuesday, September 12,” Ablan said.

The construction of the subway, which amounts P355.6 billion, will start early next year and is expected to be completed by 2025.

The project, funded through the Official Development Assistance or ODA coming from the Japanese government, will run from Quirino Highway in Quezon City to the NAIA complex in Parañaque City. ###PND

Lorenzana’s statement run in contrast to his statement moved on the news wires of the Agence France Presse (AFP) Friday.

The AFP report quoted Lorenzana as saying: “President Rodrigo Duterte may declare nationwide martial law if threatened protests by communists and other leftists against his rule turn violent or disrupt the country.”

Whether Lorenzana was serious, a slipped of the tongue from a top defense official, would certainly create varied reactions from among the countrymen. Lorenzana’s statement was enough to forewarn everyone that the government is now concocting something to counter street protests in the future.

people heard about how the previous administration turned a blind eye to Vitangcol who made MRT and LRT experience miserable (The government could not use those trains they purchased under Vitangcol’s leadership.)

The party lose its savor when

members become apologetic about the Mamasapano debacle.

We cannot miss the stark reality: that corrupt allies are prospering, thus creating an image that spurns a sense of integrity among their ranks. We cannot avoid what really happened: that social services were too slow during calamities—thanks to their constant sloganeering that advertise otherwise.

The only virtue that Senator Trillanes seems to prove is being a political assassin. No wonder he needs to create a good brand first before wasting time, saying he gets rid of the anomaly that is called Duterte. If the senate allows Trillanes’ brand to erode the credibility of the institution, it is because they allow it. Why insist on using the senate as a platform for political assassination attempts that most netizens cannot accept using taxpayers’ money? Why would a mere political mercenary win in the Philippine society?

For all that, there’s a catch.

With the value of land in Indahag expected to spike, individuals who have previously waived their properties are now looking to claim their real estate piece back, Patriana said.

Take for instance the Layagons. Couple Edward and Raida Layagon slapped Misamis Oriental Rep. Peter Unabia with a complaint for conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service, conduct unbecoming of a public official, grave abuse of authority, grave misconduct and oppression.

The Layagons are claimants to a 3.9 hectare property now in the possession of Unabia who presented a certificate of title to back up his right to the property.

On September 7, the Ombudsman ordered Unabia to answer the complaint, prompting the congressman’s lawyer Dale Bryan Mordeno to present to the public a March 11, 2015-dated document purportedly showing that the Layagons have waived their right to the property.

“We as protestants have lost interest and ability to pursue aforesaid applications and recognize the prior possession and ownership of the previous applicants hereto mentioned over their described parcels of land,” showed part of the document.

In 2015 when the alleged document was executed, there was no road project going straight to SM City Cagayan de Oro back then and the ambitious Sierra del Oro was still a faraway reality, according to Patriana.

When the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) began constructing the road project, businessman James Giam issued a permit to enter to conduct surveys, construction and other related activities for his property.

When engineers began entering Giam’s property, the businessman sued Patriana and the other members of the Indahag barangay council before the City Council Blue Ribbon committee for not stopping the DPWH and its contractors from entering his property.

“Ako na man hinoon ang gikasohan. Ambot ngano dili man ang DPWH ang iyahang gikasohan,” Patriana said.

How to balance in the classroom

By Jenilyn R. Legaspi Teacher III Kimolong Elementary School

They cared about succeeding and I developed a wonderful rapport with those pupils. I have been teaching for several years now. Even now I have students from those previous years contacting me on occasion. They tell me what a wonderful teacher I had been because I cared. Teaching is one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences you will ever have. Some of the most valuable resources we can give our students are our time, our expertise, our patience, and the gift of acquiring knowledge.

Don’t be afraid to rise to the challenge.

Here are a few ways Misamis Oriental at the time to justify a negotiated procurement of the heavy equipment.

Moreno said in his appeal that flooding has been always imminent in Misamis Oriental between 2007 and 2012, the period covered in the special audit, due to tropical depressions “causing an unusual amount of rain.”

“Perforce, the urgency to address the issue on disaster preparedness was made even more pressing,” he said.

Lastly, Moreno argued that he could not have committed any graft or corruption as alleged in the special audit finding because the lease of the heavy equipment resulted to the construction of 500 kilometers by the end of his term in June 2012.

“As a corollary, it is unfathomable how the government has suffered injury or damage,” he said.

The special audit was requested by Moreno’s successor Yevgeny Vincente Emano, the current governor of Misamis Oriental, in 2013.

reported 70 percent of the prohibited drugs that supposedly being trafficked into the Philippines.

Just recently, a shipment of suspected “shabu” (crystal meth) with an approximate street value of P6.4 billion from China was intercepted by Customs and PDEA operatives after it was given a green-light by a BOC personnel who was alleged to have been in cahoots with drug traffickers.

The illegal substance also dragged the name of Presidential Son and Davao City vice mayor Paolo Duterte and his brotherin-law Manases Carpio as they appeared before the Senate blue ribbon committee hearing.

Lapeña said the shabu shipment is still under investigation by concerned agencies.

In a previous interview, he assured to “take action including further investigations” of the entry of illegal drugs, adding that there will be exemptions in the implication of perpetrators.

His visit was also to meet with the BOC-10 personnel and to listen to their concerns, one of them the long overdue promotion of many of its employees.

Meanwhile, BOC-10 has posted a higher collection of duties and taxes in the first eight

to assist you in achieving balance in your classroom:  Be realistic in your expectations — don’t put high expectations of your students, yourself, and the course outcome.  Be open while teaching—you will benefit greatly if you are open to new ideas and methods and so will your students.  Be strong— in tough time teacher should always be strong specially when emotion are involve it’s the gift that keeps on giving and students use it well.  Give yourself permission to say no, no matter how sad the story.  Tr u s t you r i n stincts—if you feel like you’re being led down the primrose path you probably are.  Don’t forget YOU ARE IN CHARGE!! months of this year, said BOC-10 District Collector Jamail Marohomsalic.

Marohomsalic said his district surpassed its target by as much as 21 percent or more than P1.553 billion.

From January to August of this year, BOC-10’s target was P7.4 billion, but they exceeded it by P1.5 billion. Its total collection for said period has reached P8.951 billion.

“While there was only a single time when we were unable to meet our monthly target, that was minimal and we were able to quickly recover from this setback, [and accomplished] more than what was expected of us,” he said.

Except for the month of April, the BOC-10 made a collection surplus each month, based on the district’s records.

For the whole year, the BOC10 is expected to collect P11.45 billion, but Marohomsalic said he is optimistic that they will achieve their target as their collection has already reached P8.951 billion.

Alvin Y. Enciso, chief of the BOC-10’s Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS), attributed their positive performance in revenue collection to Marohomsalic, whose background in the agency’s assessment division in Davao City, aided him to efficiently collect the right amount of duties and taxes from shipments that entered the ports in Northern Mindanao.

Enciso said implementation of martial law has also helped boost BOC-10’s collection efforts as smugglers may have ceased their illegal operations due to the presence of military and law enforcers in ports and entry points in the region.

“We think the smugglers are afraid because now, even if their goods successfully leave the port undetected, they still have to go through the several layers of military and police checkpoints.

At these checkpoints, cargo truck would have to show their cargo and the military also tries to check what is inside the container vans.

The police are also conducting frequent security patrols,” Enciso said.

Nash Guro, the chief of the Assessment Division at MCT, said they are working hard to ensure that all the shipments that arrive at the sub-port are properly assessed so that importers can pay the right amount of duties and taxes to the government.
