Duterte supporters in Oro to counter today’s protest

Cafgu slain in ambush

By MARK FRANCISCO, Correspondent

AGAYAN de Oro City--Supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte have organized themselves to hold a caravan to counter the National Day of Protest being conducted today by groups opposed to the administration nationwide.

Cedrick Sabio, local chapter head of the newly conceived PRRD Coalition, boasted in a press conference last Tuesday that his group numbered a million individuals coming from the five provinces of Northern Mindanao. Sabio said his group became a de-facto umbrella after 16 large groups of Duterte supporters and volunteers decided to band together to counter the anti-Duterte propaganda being lobbied by people

and other groups opposed to the President’s policies and how he executes them. On Tuesday, core members of the group met in the city and invited Political Affairs Secretary Francis Tolentino to induct their officers and Energy Undersecretary Ben Ranque to fire up an inspirational speech, discussing mostly about federalism. “Federalism is the soluTeresito “Chito” Soganub (R) with Co.

Fr. Chito Soganub: ‘God bless you all, pray for my healing and recovery’ By Carolyn O. Arguillas, MindaNews

FATHER Teresito “Chito” Soganub was flown to Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City from Marawi on Monday and was presented briefly in a press conference where he spoke only a few lines: “Salamat saka (Thank you and) I pray for you, God bless you all. Pray for my

healing and recovery. Thank you very much. God bless you.” Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said the 59-year old Fr. Chito of Norala, South Cotabato, Vicar General of the Prelature of Marawi, was “rescued” in Barangay Sangcay, Dan-

salan, Marawi at 11:45 p.m. along with Lordbin Acopio, 29 of Badiangan, Iloilo. Lorenzana explained that as the firefight to retake the Bato Ali Mosque from the ISIS-inspired Maute Group progressed “and our troops gained the upper hand, the terrorists were forced to withdraw to nearby structures at the periphery

of the mosque.” As the terrorists were busy repelling the attack, “the troops had the opportunity to snatch Fr. Chito and Mr. Acopio during the melee,” he said. “The rescue of Fr. Soganub is a very deliberate effort, it’s an intelligence project supported by combat operations, although we cannot give you the details”

for now, said General Eduardo Ano, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Ano said that as early as September 13 or two days after President Rodrigo Duterte visited the main battle area in Marawi, the troops were supposed to “extricate” Fr. Chito beSee recovery, page 11

K I DA PAWA N C i t y -Unidentified gunmen shot dead a 39-year-old member of the Citizens Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU) in the hinterland municipality of Arakan in North Cotabato Monday. Authorities identified the victim as Jeffrey Bitonio, CAFGU member assigned at Barangay Anapolon in Arakan. Reports from Arakan Police said the victim was on his way to the town’s Poblacion when waylaid by at least five armed men believed to be members of the New People’s Army (NPA) around 7:20 a.m. Bitonio sustained several gunshot wounds in different parts of his body, which led to his instant death, reports added. There was no statement yet from the NPA as of press time if indeed it was their group that executed Bitonio. Bitonio was the second CAFGU member the NPA killed in Arakan town since July this year. On July 19, the communist guerillas executed a certain Ben Padian, See ambush, page 11

No confirmation on Fr. Chito's 'conversion' to Islam, says prelate MARAWI City Bishop Edwin dela Peña said they have no information if rescued priest Teresito “Chito” Soganub has indeed converted to Islam. "We don’t have any confirmation about that. You know, there is no compulsion in religion, so if there is something like that, if something about the issue of conversion is being discussed in the context of the war in Marawi, we should rightfully call it a war, you cannot consider that full conversion," he said. "There is no substance to it, if you are under duress. You cannot give your full consent. That is what religion is all about. Whatever it is, true or not, it doesn't hold water for me," the Catholic prelate added. With this, he noted that Soganub is now under the care of the prelature of Marawi. "Sure, sure. At any moment, we have not abandoned him. We continue to pray for him. And now that he is free, in fact in the afternoon I will be

able to see him for the first time, and I can just imagine how that meeting will be, for the first time after his release. But that is only something between us," Dela Peña said. Meanwhile, the social action arm of the Catholic

Church urged dioceses and parishes in Luzon to adopt communities in Marawi City to help them recover from the uncertainties they are facing at present. “We are focusing not on ‘hardware’ but on peace building. We ask our dio-

rehabilitation efforts for the war-torn city. Gariguez added that some dioceses and parishes in Metro Manila, have pledged to partner with one of the 13 underserved communities in the province. (PNA)

A CATHOLIC bishop said Fr. Teresito “Chito” Suganob will undergo a post-captivity reintegration process, as he hopes for the priest’s complete recovery and resume active priestly ministry. Bishop Edwin dela Peña of Marawi could not say how long the process would take but said the prelature has laid out plan for the priest’s reintegration. “After his debriefing, the prelature has prepared a program for his rest, recuperation, healing, and gradual reintegration into the ministry of interfaith dialogue in Marawi City, his original mission as priest,” he said.

Remediation is a process of assisting students in achieving competencies difficult for them to attain in a regular scheduled class. This includes classes,sessions and activities in group or individual in a separate scheduled time.This process breaks and makes a teacher. It challenges ever y teacher to go beyond their comfort zone, the comfort of just doing good. It stretches them to be extraordinary by doing ordinary little things worth life-changing. Lesson plans will not be followed, favorite teaching strategy will not be used and impressive topics will not be taught. It was no longer about the teacher, instead it becomes all about the learners. It becomes the students who will decide when to end a certain lesson or when to start another one, even to the point of just repeating the topic over and over again until such time a noticeable improvement is observed .It becomes the learners who will choose what they need to learn, even learning the simple ABC’s and identifying letter sounds. It becomes them choosing their most

comfortable way of learning even if it means spending time alone with them and listening to how they hardly read even three letter words without being angry. It breaks every teacher because there are still students who cannot read,comprehend and compete with students of their age. It breaks every teacher’s heart that the lessons and strategies they thought would be wonderful for the students are not effective and sufficient to meet their needs. Inspite of the heartbreaks every teacher has with the reality stated above, remediation also made every teacher a better version of themselves. The process becomes an avenue for the teachers to be more creative,considerate and patient. R e m e d i at i on m i rrors the heart of a real teacher.It defines how much a teacher can give for the students. It can be a definition of being the best. Sometimes, the teachers’ rank or highest educational attainment isn’t a guarantee of being the best teacher. Being the best means being simple and being available for not so intelligent students.

3 Senate urged to fix CHR 2018 budget FOR ADS PLACEMENT CALL OR TEXT: 0917-712-1424 • 0947-893-5776 E-mail: mindanaodaily.ads@gmail.com e-mail: mindanaodailynews@gmail.com

THE Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) on Tuesday urged the Senate to provide a workable budget for the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) for 2018. This, after the House of Representatives slashed the agency's 2018 budget to a measly P1,000. In a statement, the group said the House's move is an "affront to the rule of law and anathema to the continued existence and independence of the CHR". It called on the Senate to do something about the situation. “In celebration of Law Week, the IBP Board of Governors, by a formal resolution, has urged the Senate of the Philippines to exercise its powers under Section 24, Article VI of the Constitution to propose amendments to the General Appropriations Bill approved by the House of Representatives and thereby ensure that the CHR is provided a sufficient amount of public funds in the GAA for 2018,” the statement said. The Senate Finance Committee earlier recommended the approval of the CHR’s

Thursday, September 21, 2017

proposed budget of P678 million for 2018. The IBP said the budget proposed by the Senate is more in keeping with the clear and uneqiovocal Constitutional intent behind the creation of the commission. It added that providing sufficient funding to the CHR would not only give meaning to the Constitution but also to the fundamental policy of the State which is to value the dignity of every human person and to guarantee full respect for human rights. “The appeal is being made in the context of CHR’s constitutional mandate, the multitude of Filipinos, here and abroad, whose human rights the CHR is dutybound to protect, and the welfare of CHR personnel and their families whose livelihood depends on the CHR, in consonance with the duty of every public officer to be accountable to and to serve the Filipino people, in pursuit of the State Policy to preserve, protect and guarantee the full spectrum of human rights to every Filipino and to each person in the country, and

in obedience to the Rule of Law,” the IBP noted. Fajardo reminded members of the House of Representatives that CHR was created by the 1987 Constitution as an independent body tasked to look into human rights violations of all persons within the Philippines and Filipinos abroad. “The IBP believes that the miniscule budget approved by the House of Representatives is anathema to the continued existence and independence of the CHR and is thus an affront to the rule of law,” the IBP said. On Sept. 12, the House of Representatives, voting 11932, approved the reduction of the CHR's 2018 budget to a meager PHP1,000. House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez cited that the House gave CHR such budget due to its failure to perform its mandate to protect the human rights of all Filipinos. Several senators, including Senate President Koko Pimentel, said they would fight for the restoration of the PHP678-million budget for the agency as initially proposed by the Department of Budget and Management.

DA okays upgrade of Gensan fish port GENERAL Santos City--The Department of Agriculture (DA) is working on another major expansion and upgrade for the city’s fish port complex as it moves to make it at par with other international fish ports. Engr. Ginalyn Cachuela, manager of the Socsksargen Area Development Project Office (ADPO), said Monday the DA central office has approved the conduct of a feasibility study for the modernization of the General Santos City Fish Port Complex (GSFPC) in Barangay Tambler here. She said DA’s Philippine Fisheries and Development Authority, which operates the GSFPC, prepared the terms of reference for the study. “The fish port is nearly two decades old so there is really a need to improve its facilities,” Cachuela said. She said the DA central office has lined up for this quarter the procurement of consultancy services for the feasibility study, which has a funding of P7 to P9 million.

CHANGING LIVES BY CHANGING WAYS (A Teacher’s Personal Reflection)

Jannie Rose Gudelos-Pareja

As a teacher,we wanted to change lives and wanted to make a difference especially in the lives of our learners. T h e 3 - d ay Ma s t e r Training and Coaching on Continuous Improvement Program of the Pilot Schools in Bukidnon last September 11-13, 2017 is another stepping stone to achieving such goal in becoming an agent of change and in making a difference. Andy Andrew quoted,”Everbody wants to make a difference,but nobody wants to be different. and you simply cannot have one without the other.” Now let us look into the ways we usually hold on to:

First:WE LOVE SHORTCUTS! Why? because we wanted to reach the destination fast.BUT DON’T, DONT LOVE SHORTCUTS! Why? because for sure, we don’t want to become an adult unable to speak and walk because of skipping the process of learning to those skills during childhood,right? THAT’S WHY..We should follow every step in the Continuous Improvement (CI) Methodology, not skipping even one step in the process. Second: WE HATE TO EXPERIENCE PAIN!Why?because it hurts and it leaves as scar. BUT D ON’ T,D ON’ T HATE

PAIN! Why?because for sure we don’t want to have stained,broken and disaligned teeth just because we are afraid of the anaesthesia.THAT’S WHY.. We should bear with the hurtful and tiring coaching and mentoring process to develop a project which undergone many corrections (it hurts) but developed learning (the scars) that could be applied even if CIP no longer exist. Third: WE HATE TO HAVE A DUPLICATE OF OURSELVES!Why?because the duplicate might be a lot better.BUT DON’T,DON’T HATE DUPLICATES! Why? because for sure, we don’t want to see a monster when looking at the mirror,right? THAT’S

WHY..We should coach and mentor other research enthusiast and spread the CI lifestyle in order to develop a duplicate that’s not just a lot better than we are but a reflection of who we really are. Thus,to make a difference, we should change our ways: from loving shortcuts to hating it, from hating pain to loving it and from hating duplicates to creating more of them. This might be far still to changing the lives of our students and making a difference but this could be considered the first step:changing our ways. Change starts in us and will later spread to people around us especially to our dear learners.

The official said they expect the awarding of the contract before the end of the year to facilitate the start of the six-month study by January next year. The city government and local tuna industry stakeholders had been pushing

for the rehabilitation and modernization of the city fish port complex. Cahuela said industry players noted that the although considered the country’s most modern, the city fish port is See upgrade, page 5

Rodrigo Duterte declared Sept. 21 as the “national protest day.” With a number of groups reacting to Duterte’s encouragement to come to the street and voice out their grievances for free everybody’s trying to come out from their shells. Duterte himself jokingly intimated that he might also march in the street today to protest the meager monthly President of the President of the Republic of the Philippines. Under President Duterte, the monthly salary of the President would be Php160,924 (first tranche), in 2019, Duterte’s monthly salary (second tranche) would be Php 399,739. That is a pretty good

raise for the Philippine President’s monthly salary of only Php 120,000 before Duterte became President. However, Duterte is not satisfied with his present Php 160,924 monthly salary. Of course, it does not include his travel allowances and other stipends that are inherent in the Office of the President. One of the biggest budgets in the Office of the President is the intelligence fund and the social fund that the President could spend at will. Anyway, aside from President Duterte marching on the street, most of the protesters are the militant groups. Among them are the labor, farmer, and the women’s group. Most popular is the Gabriela for

the women’s group while the farmers have the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas and the indigenous peoples. Each of the sectors has their own agenda during the Sept. 21 protest rally. The farmers want the distribution of lands to the landless in vast agricultural lands owned by the ‘oligarch’ and multi-national companies. The landless farmers, particularly the indigenous peoples claimed that the land being occupied by multi-national companies belonged to their ancestral lands. The tribal groups also denounced the alleged violation of human rights of lowly farmers who have been subjected to “military hamlets” in the countryside.

There are also allegations about the killing of tribal leaders by the paramilitary forces. The national protest day is just fitting that these concerns about human rights issues, land reform, and exploitation of workers would be aired “package deal” my various sectors in the community. But, what about the exploited sectors of the community whose voices have been stifled for decades? Why are they not coming out?

UST law student Horacio III. Castillo Jr. literally poured his heart out after he came to know that his son, Horacio III, was killed on account of the injuries he sustained from a supposed fraternity hazing at the UST. What happened to Horacio III was truly painful, particularly because his father, Horacio Jr., was full of good dreams for him--for him to become a highcaliber lawyer and, at the appointed time, be installed as a magistrate of the Supreme Court of the Philippines. All of these dreams were shattered mercilessly and ever so suddenly, all because of fraternity hazing. Be that as it may, what

perhaps would be source of the greatest pain for the Castillo family in connection with the death of Horacio III is the thought that, somehow, the UST law student disobeyed, or, maybe, disregarded in many ways, the declared preference of his parents for him not to be joining any fraternity, especially since there had been many instances of deaths from hazing in this country in the not-so-distant past. -oooCHILDREN’S DISOBEDIENCE OF THEIR PARENTS RISES TO THE FORE IN UST HAZING: At this point, we cannot blame the parents of the slain student if their minds would be filled

Think A Minute

A two-way conversation

THINK a minute. Do you sometimes wonder why you didn’t get what you prayed for? Does God really listen and answer our prayers? Is talking with God just something we do to make us feel good about ourselves? How should we pray? Some people sit back after they pray and wait for God to bring them what they want like a waiter in a restaurant? A wise man said: “We are a part of the answer to every prayer that we pray.” So if we ask God to help us do better in school, then we must do our part of studying more and maybe even getting extra help from someone. We can’t expect God to magically put the

answers into our brain the day of the test! It could be that while we’re waiting for God to do something, He’s waiting for us to do our part and responsibility. Prayer is a two-way conversation. Prayer is not us getting God to do what we want; it’s more God telling us what He wants so we can learn how to live His successful, satisfying life. And He’s already told us how to live well through Jesus Christ’s life and teaching, the whole Bible, as well as through our thoughts while we’re listening to Him in prayer. Imagine if God always gave us everything we ask for. Then we would just give Him our orders, forget Him, and go on living our own way. But God created

each of us to enjoy a daily, personal relationship with Him. Maybe He’s not giving us exactly what we’re asking for to get our attention, so we’ll start getting closer to Him so we can listen and learn His right, happy way of living. You see, prayer does not only change things, prayer changes US! Other times God wants us to wait, even when we ask Him for good things, because He knows our real reasons and motives are wrong and greedy. Or, if we’re asking God to change someone else instead of changing us, then that problem or difficult person may not go away because God wants us to change our heart and attitude toward that person or problem.

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

He’s doing what is best in the long run not only for us, but for everyone else involved. Remember, He is the only One Who can see the big picture or puzzle of life. He knows how everything works and fits together both now and years later! So why not have a real, honest two-way conversation with Him right now? Ask Him to take full charge of your heart and way of living everyday, so He can start showing you His special plan for your life. Just Think a Minute.

COMMENTARY:

A shared responsibility By William R. Adan MindaNews

NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental-Upholding and securing the human rights of citizens is not justtheresponsibilityoftheCommissiononHumanRights(CHR) but is a shared responsibility with different agencies of the government with specific concerns and mandates, to mention a few as follows: * Philippine National Police and Armed Forces of the Philippines: the right to life and property; * Department of Education / Commission on Higher Education;: the right to education; * Department of Environment and Natural Resources: the right to a healthy and balanced environment; * Department of Health: the right to health: * Department of Agriculture: the right to food security; * Department of Labor and Employment: the right to just treatment of workers * Department of Social Wel-

fare and Development: the rights ofminorsandtheundeprivileged; * Civil Service Commission: the right to meritorious employment and security in government service The CHR may respond to reports, or motu propio, that is on its own initiative, conduct investigations on violations of citizens’ rights in above concerns; but considering its limited resourcesandmanpoweritleaves to or encourages each concerned agency the resolution of issues falling within its mandate; and focus instead its investigation on the abuses or excesses of government players in the exercise of their functions. The CHR has no prosecutorial power and cannot resolve issues on its own. It has to refer its findings or results of its investigation toappropriateauthorities for proper action. ThePresidentoftheRepublic issupposed tobethenumber one protector of the human rights of citizens. Particularly on the citizens’

right to life and property, the President, the PNP and other law enforcing agencies under his command are supposed primarily to secure it. It’s ironic that they are now blamed for the violation of this right in the light of the escalated extrajudicial killings resulting from the drug war. And they cannot escape blame even for the acts of criminal elements in the conduct of the war or those who are riding on it. Why?BecausethePresidentsand those under him are mandated by the Constitution to prevent the commission of crimes by anybody in this country and when these are committed, to haul the criminals to justice so they cannot threaten or harm the citizens again. If this is not done, or if crimes are not abated, but continue to proliferate, he and his agents are only to blame. (MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews. William R.

IN RE:JOINT PETITION TO APPROVE AND REGISTER THE DIVORCE OF SPOUSES JOSE R. CONGRESO JR. AND JOBBIE ROSE MANSO-CONGRESO,

By: Gloria C. Abales Master Teacher-II

When we were young, we were led to convince by the idea that we must read books in order to grow. Adults have often reminded us that we must view books as our allies, and that we must spend time with them so that we will be empowered mentally. Teachers have always told us that there are so much things we can learn from books, and upon reading them we’ll be getting new information and knowledge that might be of use later in our lives. While perhaps one of the marks of an educated man is one who reads lots of books, still there are other resources we can obtain knowledge from apart from books. Publication Notice R.A. 10172

IN THE MATTER OF JOINT PETITION TO APPROVE AND REGISTER THE DIVORCE OF SPOUSES GILBERT GABUTAN AND LIRA BETH DALIGDIG,

Books might have shared to us a vicarious experience we all sought to have, however, we must not rely solely upon them. There is a saying that once said, “Don’t let your books limit your education.” This means that, although we can learn so much through the use of books because of the knowledge they contained, other things need to be acquired through personal experience alone, or by other’s experience and also through observation. Be that as it may, we must balance both. Establishing a connection with the fancy of books is good, but don’t let it limit you from getting in contact to the real world for yourself.

The priest’s freedom also gave Dela Peña’s hope for the release of other hostages, including some workers of the prelature. He said that while they are thankful, “we cannot say that we are happy, knowing that there are still many hostages that remain in captivity”. “We are very hopeful that Fr. Chito’s release is just the first step, and will be followed by the rescue of the other hostages, many of them women,” Dela Peña said.

President Duterte cites AIPA’s role in ASEAN Community’s success

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Roa Duterte on Tuesday, September 19, graced the closing ceremony of the 38th ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA), highlighting the organization’s role in ensuring

the success of the ASEAN Community. In his speech at the Makati Shangri-la Hotel, the President said there are widening development gaps within countries and across the region that need

to be dealt with. President Duterte said it is important to make economic gains translate to tangible benefits and longterm improvements in the lives of ASEAN people. He further noted that the

Security Bank renowned among Asian companies

Anchored on its BetterBanking promise, Security Bank continues to innovate its products and services to further elevate the customer experience.

Security Bank Corporation (SBC) was recognized for its leading edge retail banking services and commendable consumer experience. The Bank was lauded by local and foreign financial institutions during the Asian Banking and Finance Awards 2017 (ABF Awards 2017) and the Customer Experience in Financial Services Summit and Awards 2017 (CXFS Awards 2017) both held in Singapore. Security Bank bagged three awards at the ABF Awards 2017 winning the “Advertising Campaign of the Year-Philippines” award for the third consecutive year. It successfully showcased personal experiences of clients from different walks of life in its BetterBanking Stories campaign. The Bank’s Credit Cards for the Tap Click Generation initiative also won the “Credit Card Initiative of the Year-Philippines” award. SBC utilized the conveni-

ence of the digital space by giving customers the option to do everything online and letting them acquire referral by means of social media through its Member-Get-Member program. The rewards program was also revamped to give cardholders a satisfying online shopping experience. The Bank also won the “Mortgage and Home Loan Product of the Year-Philippines” award for the competitive and convenient features of its products. SBC’s Fantastic Elastic flexible payment scheme lets clients adjust their payment preferences allowing them to advance or underpay an amortization as needed. SBC launched the 6 for 5 Home Loan promo which waived mortgage fees up to PHP 65,000. Aside from the ABF Awards, Security Bank was also praised at the CXFS Awards 2017. The awards have been created to

identify industry leaders that are setting new standards in customer experience and engagement. SBC was “highly commended” for Brand Engagement and Client Onboarding Initiatives. One of Security Bank’s most notable solutions is its Wholesale to Retail Banking service which provides a comprehensive approach in addressing the client-company’s banking requirements as well as their employees’ individual banking needs. Over 80 banks participated in the ABF Awards, with judges from known accounting firms such as Deloitte, Ernst and Young, KPMG, and PwC Southeast Asia Consulting. The CXFS Awards meanwhile, is already in its third year of giving recognition to outstanding financial institutions that put customer experience at the heart of their operations and culture to raise customer satisfaction.

region is faced with various traditional and nontraditional security risks that must be addressed effectively to preserve the gains of the ASEAN Community building. “In this context, AIPA should be able to play a greater role in ensuring the success of the ASEAN Community,” Duterte said. “You have in you an invaluable asset – your 40 years of working together to enhance interparliamentary solidarity contributes to the creation of a people-oriented, people-centered ASEAN,” he added. The President also said the AIPA, as a parliamentary institution, could be encouraged to actively pursue the reforms needed to address structural problems and constraints that limit the gains from integration within the region. At the same time, the President also called upon ASEAN and AIPA to further deepen their engagement and partnership to

bring about the realization of the ASEAN Community Vision 2025. The ASEAN Community Vision entails a united, inclusive, and resilient political-security community; a highly integrated and cohesive economic community; and a sociocultural community that engages and benefits the peoples of ASEAN. The President meanwhile highlighted the task of AIPA, which has “worked vigorously to support the work of ASEAN’s three community pillars.” AIPA has helped speed up the ratification of the ASEAN agreements; has identified priority areas for legal harmonization, conducted thematic studies and fact-finding missions, given advice on matters affecting ASEAN and its members; and promoted engagement both at the national and regional levels. The President also thanked the 38th AIPA General Assembly and ex-

pressed optimism that the recently held meetings of the organization will help ASEAN and AIPA widen the areas of cooperation. “May this General Assembly strengthen the relationship between ASEAN and AIPA, and bring us all one step closer to realizing our aspiration of ‘One Vision, One Identity, and One Community,’” he said. Prior to the closing rites, the AIPA heads of delegations paid a courtesy call on President Duterte. During the meeting, the President pitched for regional unity. He also raised issues such as destructive forms of mining, climate change, and security. The President also expressed the need for dialogue to resolve the concerns with regard to the South China Sea issue and the rising tension in the Korean Peninsula. Among the AIPA member country leaders that President Duterte met were Pehin Dato Haji Hasrin Haji Sabtu of Brunei; Samdech Akka Moha Pohn Chakrei Heng Samrin of Cambodia; Dr. Fadli Zon of Indonesia; Bounpone Sisoulath of Lao PDR; Dato’ Sri Haji Ismail Bin Mohamed Said of Malaysia; T. Khun Myatt of Myanmar; Representative Rodolfo Farinas of Philippines; Lim Biow Chuan of Singapore; Gen. Teeradej Meepien of Thailand; and Nguyen Thanh Hai of Vietnam. AIPA Secretary General Isra Sunthornvut and House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez were also present during the meeting. (pnd)

he Department of Agriculture (DA) has recently staged this year’s Makina Expo at the Iloilo Convention Center (ICC), Iloilo City bearing the theme “Aangat ang Pagsasaka sa Paggamit ng Tamang Makinarya”. Exhibition and showcasing of farm machineries and equipment highlighted the event which the Local Government Units (LGUs) and farmer-delegates from different regions across the country were able to witness. This is in line with the agency’s Farm Mechanization Program that aims to increase the productivity and income of farmers through the adoption of appropriate farm machineries and equipment to save at least 16-40% post harvest losses of agrifishery products. In addition to the promotion of the said program, DA Secretary

Emmanuel F. Piñol revealed that the agriculture sector has only 2% mechanization rate, lower than that of Japan which is 16%. Moreover, Piñol reiterated the agency’s initiative to intensify campaign for hybrid rice production together with the utilization of better farm machineries and equipment to increase production, especially that the country is in its bid to attain rice self-sufficiency. On the other hand, Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Food Senator Cynthia Villar expressed her support on the initiatives of the agency to promote development in the agri-fishery sector.

This is my conviction: all people will be saved at the end The Gospel of Jesus Christ (September19, 2017-Tuesday) Wherefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loved little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven: In this gospel we can discover the big and “great love of Jesus” to all sinners.

The woman is a representative to all human beings who are committing sins constantly. In Romans 3:10-as it is written, There is none “righte o u s,” no, n o t one. But despite of this truth, God is forgiving us always. Isaiah 1:18Come now, and let us reason together, said the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as

snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. In Jeremiah 31:3-the LORD hath appeared of old unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee. Take note, James 2:13-for he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy; and mercy

rejoiced against judgment. This is my conviction that all people will be saved at the end if they will come back to God without hesitation. God never tires in seeking you to be with Him eternally. Jesus was in the place where the sinners approached him and it was not an accident but God’s ways to meet the sinners. Jesus made the first move to

meet the sickly people in all aspects. Jesus made the house of the Pharisee as the avenue to let this woman came to him for repentance. This woman anointed Jesus with oil as a symbol of Jesus importance to her life. The oil she used was expensive but it was nothing for this Bro. Edcel L. Closas woman because she gave it to Jesus. Give how expensive it is for something to God even you.

own money at the local level, not the ones in Manila,” Ranque said. For his part, Tolentino expressed his gratitude to the people who voted him as a senatorial candidate in the 2016 elections. Tolentino won in the city but lost at the national level. He then went on encouraging the group’s officers to continue supporting the Duterte administration’s policies. Last week, groups opposed to the Duterte administration have announced widespread protests today to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the declaration of a nationwide martial law by then President Ferdinand Marcos in 1972. The groups’ announcement prompted Duterte to declare the date as a National Day of Protest, suspending government work and classes in public universities and K-12 schools all over the nation’s capital Metro Manila.

fore the final assault on the stronghold of the Maute Group then: the Masjid Bato Ali or the Bato Ali mosque. “What we wanted is before we assault the Bato (Ali) mosque, mailabas kaagad natin si Fr. Soganub (we could get Fr. Sognaub out immediately) but on the night of September 13, September14 and early September 15, nagbago yung paggagwardya ng kalaban so hindi natin nairescue si Fr. Soganub (there was a change in the guarding system of the enemy so we were not able to rescue Fr. Soganub) so I gave the go signal to assault the Bato (Ali) mosque so we can implement the extraction of Fr. Soganub while there is fighting, so nagmaterialize naman lahat yun because on Saturday when we were able to gain the foothold in Bato (Ali) mosque, na-extricate natin si Fr. Soganub on the night of September 16.” Initial reports said Fr. Chito and another hostage escaped amid the firefight and as they were fleeing, they were identified by troops and brought to safety. Reporters, however, were not given a chance to ask questions except how he is. “Physically strong and handsome,” Fr. Chito replied, smiling, before he was brought out of the conference room and Lorenza and Ano proceeded with the press conference. Glimpses of life as captive But during the twohour plane ride to Manila from the 15th Strike Wing base of the Philippine Air Force at the old airport of Cagayan de Oro in Lumbia, Fr. Chito gave glimpses of how life was as a captive of the Maute for 117 days, in video clips shared to the media by Assemblyman Zia Alonto Adiong, spokesper-

son of the Provincial Crisis Management Council. Amer Hussein Lucman of the Provincial Rescue Team asked Fr. Chito several questions. But the glimpses into his life as captive were limited only to food. What Fr. Chito and the hostages were made to do every day, how they managed to survive, what they did during air strikes and firefights, how they regained freedom, etc.. were not among the topics discussed in the video clips or if they were discussed and videotaped, were not shared. Asked what food he missed most, Fr. Chito said: “After 117 days? After 117 days? Normal lang. I miss the vegetables, meat, chicken nami-miss ko kasi wala yan sa loob” (that was not available inside), “sa loob” referring to his captivity. He said the “usual” food they ate in those 117 days was “sardines 555 tuna, (inaudible), Lucky Me noodles, itlog (eggs), corned beef, canned goods.” He said they had plenty of rice because they stocked up on it. “Kinuha yung mga ano sa groceries (the stocks were taken from the groceries) pero yung nasusunog na yung building dahil sa war at ano, yun na wala na ring supply na scarce na rin yung supply (but when the buildings were burned because of the war and ‘ano’ = ano apparently referring to air strikes — we also ran out of supply. Supply became scarce). He noted there was no way for the ISIS or the hostages to survive if they did not get food from the groceries. The main battle area was the commercial district of Marawi City. Feeding 100 to 200 But the terrorists were strict, Fr. Chito said. “Sinasabi nila hindi kayo kukuha ng sobra at abuse. Strikto sila doon. Pero walang choice. Dapat kunin mo yung stock of rice para ma-consume mo (They were saying do not abuse, do not get more than what is needed. They were strict about that. But there was no choice. You get the stock of rice to consume) because around “100 to 200” persons were to be fed. “In the beginning, parang more than 100 yung hostage eh. Sila mismo, umaabot din sila, pumupunta sa headquarters mga 100, 150” (there were around 100 hostages but the ISIS themselves, those who go to the headquarters were around 100, 150). How many hostages and terrorists were still around before he regained his freedom, was not in the video clip. There was another video clip on food. Fr. Chito was asked, having stayed in Marawi City for the last 22 years, what his favorite Meranaw food was. He mentioned chicken soup of a restaurant in Marawi. He also narrated how his palate had adjusted to the spicy Meranaw food.

Thursday, September 21, 2017 Returning to Marawi Asked if he would return to Marawi, Fr. Chito nodded. “Oo, kasi kung may trust and ano ka sa parang qadr mo, kasi may equivalent din sa amin yung qadr. Kung anong sinulat, yan talagang mangyayari. Kung hanggang diyan ka lang, nakasulat na yan.” (Yes, because if you trust in your qadr, because there is an equivalent of qadr for us. What is written, that is what will happen. If you’re just until here, that’s already written). Qadr in Arabic means fate or God’s will. Fr. Chito, also the Acting Rector of the St. Mary’s cathedral and chaplain at the Mindanao State University (MSU) main campus in Marawi said there is a commonality between Christians and Muslims: “we believe that there is the Almighty, the Creator. Siya lang ang pinakamalakas sa lahat. Siya ang susundan (He is the most powerful of all. He will be followed. We believe and that’s common). “We believe in one God, we want to live in peace,” he said of both Christians and Muslims. He said Muslims after their earthly life “want to be in paradise” while Christians “want to go to heaven.” What is also common, he said, is that Islam and Christianity are both for peace. “We want to be living in peace,” said Fr. Chito, a pillar of inter-religious dialogue in Marawi. Interfaith relationship Although he lost a few pounds from the time he was held hostage on May 23, Day 1 of the Marawi Crisis, Fr. Chito appeared physically fit, even jumping off the helicopter that brought him from the 103rd Army Brigade’s Camp Ranao in Marawi City to the PAF’s Lumbia base in Cagayan de Oro City, and running at some point away from the helicopter towards the lounge where they waited for an hour before boarding a C 220 PAF aircraft that brought them to Villamor Air Base in Pasay and another helicopter ride from there to Camp Aguinaldo In one of the video clips, he said he is “okay pa, okay na and happy and thanking the Lord God na buhay pa rin ako at saka ano (that I am still alive and …) I am undergoing yung trauma na nangyari ina-undergo ko yung personal healing process ko habang wala pa yung systematic healing process na assistance.” Asked by Lucman for a message to the Meranaws and the military, Fr. Chito said, “sa kapatid natin na Muslims sa Meranaw sa Marawi City at Lanao del Sur, tuloy pa rin ako sa belief in the interfaith relationship na magkaisa pa rin tayo as Muslims and Christians. Hindi pa rin tayo magkaaway at magkaisa pa rin tayo. (I continue to believe in the interfaith relationship that we will continue to be united as Muslims and Christians.

We are not in conflict and we are united). We believe in one God” He also thanked the Armed Forces of the Philippines and its various units who helped and “pasalamat din ako na in one way or another tumulong tsaka one of their focus is to save the hostages and to save me particularly as a priest. at ..pasasalamat ako na sinunod nila yung utos ni President na kahit slowly daw kung ma-save lang na buhay yung hostages, including yung pari, that’s me, si Fr. Chito.” “Salamat at salamat din kay President Duterte … ginawa nila yung… sa lahat, salamat, salamat sa Almighty” (Thank you and thank you also to President Duterte … they did all, to everyone, thank you, thank you Almighty),” Fr. Chito said. (Carolyn O. Arguillas / MindaNews)

community. The Sept. 21 national protest day is expected to draw the LGBT sector to come out to focus their concern on gender sensitive issues. It must be understood that the national protest day is not only for the militants. The day should be for everyone who believes that their rights were stif led because of the community’s double standard character. For instance, the commercial sex sector has remained silent, a lt h ou g h t h e pro bl e m about the HIV-AIDS has become a major health concern. The voices of the battered wives and children should also be r a i s e d du r i n g t h e n a tional protest day on S ept. 21. Not to be outdone are t he voi c e s of t he b at tere d husb ands w hos e “macho” images conceal the physical and mental frustration against their wives and in-laws. Perhaps, the national day of protest and indignation is the right time for the battered husbands raise their fists against their manipulative wives and in-laws.

account of what happens to them in their dayto-day lives, the breath in their nostrils that have been snuffed out can never be revived anymore, forever. So, the question remains: why are there many instances where children choose not to listen to what their parents are telling them to do---which oftentimes lead to tragic consequences for themselves? Why have the youth of today become so hardheaded to the point of self-destruction? -oooFILIPINO FAMILIES WAYLAID ON GO OD MANNERS AND RIGHT CONDUCT: There are many reasons. As far as I am concerned however, what I see as a principal reason whereby children no longer obey their fathers and mothers is the truth that all of them---parents and children alike, the whole family as a whole---have become inexorably estranged or separated from good manners and right conduct. Indeed, many families have been waylaid and already taken very far away from good conduct, all because they no longer have any training on what is good and what is bad, aggravated by their lack of fear and love of God. If only Filipino families remained moored on good manners and right conduct and on the fear and love of God, it would not happen, at any time, that children would disobey their parents’ desires and wishes for them. This, I believe, is due to the removal of the course on good manners and right conduct in schools, and the separation of almost all Filipinos from the Word of God, the Bible. Nobody but nobody reads and obeys the Bible anymore, for a very long time now, so that many are no longer with God. And because God is no longer with many of us, our entire being is controlled by the devil and its teachings. -oooWATCH “ANG TANGING DAAN” AT FACEBOOK: “Ang Tanging Daan” is a Bible exposition and prayer session for everyone, in English and Filipino, 24/7, worldwide, that can be viewed at www.facebook. com/angtangingdaan.

White corn production during the quarter was recorded at 20,745 MT while yellow corn at 45,418 MT. Meanwhile, the volume of palay produced during the same quarter reached 136,331 MT, higher by 36.8 percent from the 99,644 MT recorded in the same quarter last year. All the provinces in the region, except for Camiguin, posted increases in production. Bukidnon and Lanao del Norte were still the top producers contributing 69,546 MT (51%) and 41,893 MT (31%), respectively. Clarete said the increase in Bukidnon’s production was attributable to sufficient irrigation water and rainfall, complemented by the government’s hybrid seeds subsidy. For Lanao del Norte, the growth was mainly due to more plantings in rainfed and upland areas. Seed assistance and usage of fertilizer through the “plant now, pay later” scheme availed by farmers in Lala also contributed to the province’s production growth. (APB/ PIA-10)

Resumption of talks remains in the hands of Reds: Duterte D AVAO CITY -- President Rodrigo Duterte said Saturday he is not averse to the resumption of the peace negotiations with the communists.

While he is grateful for the safe release of SPO2 George Rupinta by the NPA’s Pulang Bagani Command (PBC), the President emphasized that the resumption of the peace talks remains in the hands of the Communists Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF). “Yung mensahe ninyo sa akin for the resumption of the talks, let me say this very carefully…sa inyo ‘yan eh (Your message to me for the resumption of the talks, let me say this very carefully…it’s on you),” he said, recalling the time he conceded to their (communists) demands since he became mayor. Duterte said the communists should also consider the position of the military and the police, who invested their lives in fighting the insurgency. There are also things he has to clear with the leaders of the House of Representatives and the

Senate, periodically, he added. “So that is how it operates here. Now, if you want to resume the talks, I am not averse to the idea, but let me sort out first the other branches of government,” he said in a press conference after Rupinta was presented to him on Saturday evening at Matina Enclaves. The President noted he made decisions to continue the negotiations like the release of about 25 prisoners of war, referring to the political prisoners, who are serving as consultants to the NDF peace panel for the peace negotiations with the government. The political prisoners were released on government conditions. He said there are some which he cannot concede alone “because I am not the only one in control of this government”. He added he came to a point of appointing people from the left to join the

government. “Gusto kong maglagay diyan (I want to put them there) because I have to hear both sides. Ang problema kasi (But the problem is), while we are talking, there’s full of threats about countryside positioning, deployment of New People’s Army soldiers, and that…),” he said. Duterte also said the removal of some leftist members of the Cabinet was not his decision. “Hindi naman tama sabihin na I torpedoed. Kung halimbawa i-torpedo ko (It is not correct to say that I torpedoed. If for example I torpedoed) why would I go into a rigmarole of appointing you every time they are rejected or bypassed by Congress?),” he asked. Duterte also recalled he had been apologetic every time he stepped on the rebels’ shoes. However, when they ambushed a Presidential convoy, no apology came from the NPA. “And every time that I break bread with you, I am so courteous,” he added.

was abducted by the NPA last June 9, 2017 in Barangay Langka, Lupon, Davao Oriental. He was released on September 15 in Barangay Sangab, Maco, Compostela Valley Province and turned over to Rev. Socrates Ibol of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) in Tagum City, Davao del Norte. Duterte thanked Exodus for Justice and Peace for

facilitating his release. “They are always there all the time whenever there is a release of POW. They consider it prisoner of war,” he said. “I should say that I see it that all prisoners of war have been treated well in accordance with the Conventions of Geneva. And for that, I also would like to acknowledge their (NPA rebels) respect for the law,” he said.

If Rupinta was killed in the hands of the NPA rebels, Duterte said there would be problems. But the President was not ready to talk peace again. “Pag-usapan natin ‘yan ng masinsinan (Let’s talk about it). Do not be in a hurry because we have been fighting for the last 50 years. And you just cannot ignore that period of violence and killing on both sides,” he said. PNA
