Referendum pushed to fast-track federalism Volume IX, No. 090

By CHE PALICTE PNA

DAVAO CITY -- The lead convenor of the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) has proposed Monday a nationwide referendum to move forward this country’s shift to federalism.

“It is the platform that propelled then Mayor Rodrigo Duterte to the presidency.

It can win hands down in a referendum,” said NAPC Secretary Noel K. Felongco in an interview with local reporters, referring to Duterte’s election campaign promise to change the present form of government.

Felongco said a referendum “is shaping up as

a better alternative since both houses of Congress are not keen on pushing for federalism through Charter change.”

He said the holding of a referendum can be made possible with an enabling resolution from the House of Representatives. The idea for a referendum was originally proposed by Secretary Adelino B. Sitoya of the Presidential Legislative Liaison Office, he added.

In support of the move, Felongco said NAPC will be holding regional consultations with sectoral organizations to enlist their support on federalism.

“This will culminate in a national meeting of all See PUSHED, page 11

PLEDS task group refer non-military cases to concerned agencies

Brigadier General Edgardo de Leon, commander of the Army’s 403rd Infantry Brigade and co-chairperson of the Peace, Law Enforcement, and Development Support (PLEDS) task group, says PLEDS is tasked to determine nonmilitary dimensions of communist insurgency which can be referred to the concerned clusters of the Regional Task Force on Ending Local Communist Armed Conflict (RTF-ELCAC) X for appropriate action. (ZRD/PIA Cagayan de Oro)

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- To strengthen the campaign against insurgency in Northern Mindanao, a task group of the Regional Task Force on Ending Local Communist Armed Conflict (RTF-ELCAC) X has referred non-military cases to the concerned RTF-ELCAC clusters for appropriate action.

Brigadier General Edgardo de Leon, commander of the Army’s 403rd Infantry Brigade, said the Peace, Law Enforcement, and Development Support (PLEDS) task group is tasked to determine non-military dimensions of communist insurgency which can be referred to other member agencies of the NTF-ELCAC. De Leon, who is also the co-chairperson of the PLEDS task group, said member-agencies of the 12 clusters of the RTF-ELCAC are not yet fully aware on the non-military aspects, such

as socio-economic dimension, to address insurgency.

“Kung makikita namin na may kakulangan sa farmto-market road sa isang lokalidad irerefer namin yun sa task group on infrastructure development, kung meron din kaming nakita na isang komunidad na nangangailangan ng livelihood program, irerefer naming sa task group on livelihood na pinangungunahan naman ng TESDA,” he added.

De Leon said the referral of cases got a positive response from the other clusters during the RTF-ELCAC X Technical Working Group meeting on Friday, August 31.

“Nagkaroon ng enlightenment. Noong nag refer kami ng mga problemang nakuha namin sa mga komunidad, naintindihan nila na totoo palang mayroon silang magagawa para masolusyonan yung mga problema sa See REFER, page 10

DAVAO CITY -- Organizers of a three-day entrepreneurship boot camp in Davao City will gather women entrepreneurs and innovators to discuss issues and come up with solutions to the problems confronting the cacao industry in the region and Mindanao.

“The objective is to help in coming up with tech ideas for the cacao/chocolate industry and help the ‘idea owners’ create a business model around these ideas through the entrepreneurship boot camp at the Startup Weekend,” Mary Rose Ofianga, organizer of the Startup Weekend Women Davao 2019, said on Sunday.

She said the boot camp will gather female students, developers, engineers, and entrepreneurs from September 20 to 22 at the TechHub Corporation here to connect, formulate, create a team, and pitch ideas for solutions to the pressing challenges faced by the cacao industry players of Mindanao.

“We encourage the women to get out of their usual comfort zone and discover their potentials and to do business and to create solutions,” she said.

Ofianga said organizers

created an entrepreneurship boot camp designed specifically for women to inspire them to ideate, create, and innovate solutions because “women can do more with technology.”

Among the industry stakeholders who will participate in the program are farmers, producers, processors, consolidators, and officials from Rural AgroIndustrial Partnership for Inclusive Development and Growth-Department of Agriculture, Department of Trade, Department of Science and Technology, City Agriculturist office, Mindanao Development Authority, and City Gender and Development Office.

“This year, Startup Weekend Women Davao focuses on creating solutions for the Cacao industry in Davao Region and Mindanao. The Cacao industry has been ranked to be one of the hottest fields of agriculture in Davao City,” she said.

During the boot camp, participants will generate and polish ideas that will benefit the agriculture sector either of the city or the Philippines, she said.

“Their ideas will be validated and solidified on Day 2 where the participants See INNOVATORS, page 11

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- JYS Repair Shop and Machining Works, located at Looc, Catarman, Camiguin, supports the local industry in the province with its fabrication and repair services using the machines it has acquired through the aide of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).

It was 2003 when the shop started its operation as an ordinary motorcycle repair shop. Prior to the acquisition of the machines, Engr. Jorge Y. Salas, the owner, has to go to Cagayan de Oro City for repair and stay there for days leaving his family and shop to the care of his wife alone.

Through the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) of the DOST, the shop was able to upgrade its equipment and acquired machines for fabrication making it now the major fabricator on the island, giving services at a wider scope with more clients from transportation, agriculture, and food processing sector.

They are now able to produce and fabricate bigger equipment as per request. The shop was able to increase its production volume and the variety of services using the additional

machines it has acquired.

Hence the increase in gross sales by 200 percent and the number of employees by 60 percent.

Using the acquired machines, the presence of JYS Repair Shop and Machining Works on the island has facilitated the local economy since the stakeholders from Catarman and neighboring municipalities could avail of the machine fabrications and repair services without the need to travel often to Cagayan de Oro.

“Maganda talaga ang takbo ng negosyo sa aide ng DOST…Nakakagawa na kami ng mga bagay na hindi kasanayang nagagawa ng mga ordinaryong shop lang,” said Engr. Salas. With the acquired machines, they are now able to cater to repairs and make gears needed by the barges in Camiguin.

Science and technology also make life and job easier.

“Dahil sa makabagong teknolohiya, na shorten yung mga mechanic process at na longer time yung

The interventions provided by DOST on plant layout facilitated the movement of costumers and workers resulting in improved and efficient processes.

Pollution in Tagoloan town

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina--I would like to belatedly greet a happy fiesta to all Kagayanons who ended their commemoration of the annual Higalaay Festival with a bang or two via the two fireworks displays sponsored by Ayala Centrio and SM City Cagayan de Oro Uptown over the weekend Philippine time.

It looked like quite the busy month for a lot of Kagay-anong who entertained guests both domestic and foreign. Let me extend a special fiesta greeting to Papias Tiro Jr. son of the late certified public accountant Papias Tiro who my husband Ronnie and I met at the Starbucks café Limketkai Mall branch and who happens to be a cousin of Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno.

But anyway back to busi-

ness in Misamis Oriental, northern Mindanao is besieged by complaints of foul odor caused by garbage carelessly dumped by companies including that garbage from South Korea.

The most recent complaint of foul odor that I learned from a Facebook page that focused on Tagoloan town pointed the source as coming from a local company identified as Tamco Processing Plant in Barangay. Mohon, Tagoloan, town.

The residents complained about the fetid smell of burning chicken intestines and chicken feathers. They suffered in silence and a lot of them had to run Vicks Vaporub in their nostrils to offset the stench.

I was born in Mohon and I love it even if my family moved to neighboring ba-

rangay Natumolan. As such I knew how it smelled like even before the Phividec Industrial Estate moved in there.

I always visit Mohon or pass by it through the Sta. Ana Cemetery. My visit to Mohon would not be complete without dropping by the house of Nang Nita Naelga Agusan,Tiay Gaga Sabio and Maninay Clara Naelga, oh boy I forgot her last name.

But anyway in all these visits I smell the air of old Mohon, the smell of papayas and other fruits. But Mohon is more populated by coconut trees and I still remember the smell of coconut oil that was converted by the old women into soothing medicinal oil.

All that is a distant memory because of the fetid smell of chicken intestines

and feathers. I was made to understand that newly seated Mayor Gomer Enan Sabio inspected the factory after getting wind of the complaint.

I also learned that Tamco is managed by a certain Bryce Co who is supposedly influential to some powers that be in Tagoloan town.

At any rate the inaction has to stop.

If the company secured a permit it should comply with basic environmental standards as stipulated by national law and reinforced (I hope) by local ordinances.

Unruffled

Are you in sync with the times?

DAKAK -- Baby boomers, are you in sync with the changing of the times?

Of what’s hip, and what’s trendy?

Indeed, time have changed.

Gone are the days when bondings are most common among friends, or members of the family for that matter. And it comes with a price, even in this serene beach resort along the Sulu Sea coast where guests and friends are ‘silenced’ by their mobile phones!

Like it or not, mobile phones are now part of our lifestyles such that we have become immobile without these high tech gadgets.

The truth of the matter is, subconsciously, we are now ‘addicted’ by our constant use of cell phones -- calling, texting, emailing

, FB browsing, among other things.

And so these troubling questions: Are mobile phones have become too much of a good thing? Are you in panic attack when you forget your phone?

Well, smart phones have become man’s best friends nowadays, yet for all we know, we are now entrapped subconsciously by the many ‘good things’ our mobile phones have been providing us.

Mobile phones are one of the phenomenal inventions of man in this era of tech-driven society.

It completely changed the way we interact these days. You can call, send text messages, read emails, play games as well as read and edit documents on the go.

Almost everyone has a mobile phone. Everywhere you go, we see people sporting the latest mobile phone models.

Mobile phones has become part and parcel of our lives. Leaving home without our phones is akin to leaving without brushing our teeth, or combing our hair.

These days of quickies, everyone owns at least one, if not sophisticated, mobile phone. In fact, even parents have allowed their school kids to own mobile phones because of easy and convenient access wherever they are, anytime, anywhere.

So what are the repercussions of constantly using these devices, day in and day out?

Today, socializing that involves real interaction

Ruffy Magbanua

is very rare to happen. We are reduced to interacting on social platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, Instagram, or chat applications such as Viber and WhatsApp. While there is nothing expressly wrong with chatting with our friends on these platforms, it can be a problem if it is done at the expense of face to face interaction.

In a family where every member has a mobile phone and uses it every See TIMES, page 11

Kakampi Mo Ang Batas

GCTA law: persons rapped for heinous crimes cannot be free

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts…” (Isaiah 1:23, the Holy Bible).

-oooGCTA LAW, RA 10592: P E OP L E C HA RG E D WITH HEINOUS CRIMES CANNOT BE SET FREE BECAUSE OF GO OD CONDUCT: So everyone will know, I am coming out this day, here at Kakampi Mo Ang Batas, with one very important part of Republic Act 10592, or the so-called “good conduct time allowance” law.

Republic Act 10592 is the law that allows reducing the time during which a convicted felon should

stay in jail, on account of that felon’s good conduct or exemplary behavior while in prison.

Here is what Section 1, Republic Act 10592, says: “Provided, finally, That recidivists, habitual delinquents, escapees and persons charged with heinous crimes are excluded from the coverage of this Act…” -oooS A R M E N TA- G O M E Z RAPE-MURDER CASES, HEINOUS CRIMES: Now, based on Section 1 of Republic Act 10592, or the “good conduct time allowance” (GCTA) law, does former Calauan, Laguna Mayor Antonio Sanchez have any right or entitlement to be given a reduced prison term

so that he could already be released from Muntinlupa City at present? To enable us to answer this question, we should know: what were the criminal cases that sent Sanchez to Bilibid?

According to official documents, the cases that were responsible for jailing Sanchez were the rape-murder cases involving Eileen Sarmenta, and the related murder case of Alan Gomez, in the early 1990s.

What kind of cases are rape and murder charges, like the cases with which Sanchez was charged in court?

Clearly, they are classified as heinous crimes since they are penalized with life sentences.

Under existing regula-

Batas Mauricio

tions in the Philippines, any crime which is penalized by life imprisonment would be considered as a heinous crime. Now, if the crimes with which Sanchez was charged, tried, and ultimately convicted are considered heinous crimes (not just one, but three separate heinous crimes), there should be no question at all that he could not be released based on GCTA. -oooWHY DID FAELDON ALLOW SANCHEZ TO GO SCOT-FREE? The really difficult question here pertains See HEINOUS, page 11

3 years after the SSS releases over P19B worth salary loans Davao bombing, to nearly 942K members in H1 2019 prosecutor confident RTC will deny bail DAVAO CITY -- Three years after the Sept. 2, 2016 bombing at the Roxas night market here that killed 15 and injured 69 others, Taguig City prosecutor Vincent Villena is confident that the Regional Trial Court (RTC) in Taguig City will deny the motion to bail filed by the seven suspects who are allegedly members of a terror group.

Villena told reporters after the mass at the blast site on Sunday that the evidence and the statements of the witnesses, including that of a state witness who was part of the group that plotted the incident, were strong for the trial court to dismiss the motion..

“We are very confident that it would be denied because we presented a witness who was part of that group who actually witnessed everything, almost everything, so we filed a motion to discharge him as one of the accused,” he said.

He said the RTC in Taguig might come out with a decision whether to grant or deny the bail in October this year.

The seven alleged members of the Maute Group behind the bombing are Wendel A. Facturan, Musali U. Mustapha, TJ T. Macabalang, Zack Jaron V. Lopez, Jessy Vincent G. Original, Jackson M. Usi and Alisa A. Mamasapano.

All seven were transferred from the City Jail in Maa, Davao City to Camp Bagong Diwa in Bicutan, Taguig City in February 2018 after the Supreme Court approved the requests of the Bureau of Jail Management and PenologyDavao, City Peace and Order Council, City Prosecutor’s Office and Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana for the transfer of detention and venue of trial for the “high-risk inmates”.

“All of the accused will be given the opportunity to defend themselves in court,” he said.

He added the RTC in Taguig is determined to come out with a decision this year.

He said the prosecutor handling the case was instructed to hasten the proceedings.

THE state-run Social Security System (SSS) said Monday it released more than P19.01 billion worth of salary loans to around 942,000 members in the first six months of 2019.

SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Aurora C. Ignacio said loan releases to members from January to June 2019 grew by 8.4 percent from P17.53 billion a year ago to P19.01 billion this year.

Ignacio said the increase in loan releases was due to the rise in the number of member-borrowers from 886,208 in the first half of 2018 to 941,716 for the same period this year.

“Salary loan is one of the most popular loan privileges of SSS. In fact, salary loans represent almost the entire amount of loan releases for the first half of this year,” Ignacio said.

Of the total number of borrowers, 846,823 were em-

ployed members with a total of P17.67 billion worth of salary loans granted, 75,465 were voluntary members with P1.08 billion worth of loans released, 10,423 were self-employed members with P83.69 million worth of loans granted, and 9,004 OFW-members with P163.07 million worth of loans released.

To qualify for a onemonth salary loan, a member must have at least 36 posted monthly contributions, six of which must have been paid within the last 12 months before the month of the loan application. Members who are qualified to receive a twomonth salary loan must have at least 72 posted monthly contributions, six of which must have been paid within the last 12 months prior to the month of application.

“Members must be under 65 years old at the time of application and has not been

granted any final benefit such as total permanent disability, retirement, and death,” Ignacio added.

Interested self-employed and voluntary members may personally submit their salary loan application and other supporting documents at any SSS branch or by using the SSS Self-Service Information Terminals (SSITs) located in selected branch offices nationwide. They may also submit their application online using their My.SSS account on the SSS website, or via smartphone using the SSS Mobile App. Employed members, on the other hand, should submit their duly-accomplished Salary Loan Application form to their company’s Human Resource Department or directly submit their applications online through the My.SSS accounts with employer’s validation and certification.

“OFW-members with

registered My.SSS accounts may also submit their salary loan application online.

Also, they still have the option to visit our SSS Foreign Offices to personally submit their application,” said Ignacio.

In case there is no available SSS office in a particular country, OFW members may designate an authorized representative here in the Philippines to submit their application and supporting documents that are duly certified by the Philippine Consulate Embassy.

Qualified members can receive a salary loan as high as twice the average of the borrower’s latest 12 posted monthly salary credits (MSC), rounded to the next higher MSC or amount applied for, whichever is lower.

Member-borrowers shall receive their salary loan proceeds through check or See LOANS, page 11

PPA plans to construct P300-M shipbuilding facility by 2020

By RAYMOND CARL DELA CRUZ

MANILA -- The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) on Friday announced its plans to start construction of the Duterte administration’s first shipbuilding facility next year to bolster the country’s shipping industry.

In a press conference following the conclusion of the Maritime Safety Summit for Domestic Shipping here, PPA general manager Jay Daniel Santiago said they have already completed the feasibility study for the 10-hectare facility project.

“We have already identified the location. But we apologize that we cannot disclose the actual location because we don’t want to encourage speculations dun sa (in the) landholdings,” Santiago said.

Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary

Arthur Tugade said the plan has been eight months in the making, and the facility would not only build passenger ships but leisure vessels as well.

Initially, the PPA chief said the facility aims to build only one design or one type of passenger vessel, a roll-on/roll-off vessel or a fast craft, and produce these as much as possible to replace old and unsafe vessels such as wooden-hull bancas which the DOTr hopes to fully retire as soon as possible.

“We want to be able to deploy as many passenger vessels as possible during the time we are retiring or decommissioning vessels that are unacceptable for the safety of our passengers,” Santiago said.

DavOr hinterland village denounces NPA presence

By CHE PALICTE

DAVAO CITY -- The oncetagged as “factory of landmines” village in Manay, Davao Oriental has declared “alsa masa” or mass revolt against communist insurgents who once reigned in their village for decades.

In an interview on Sunday, Karen Lou Deloso, Davao Oriental Provincial Information Officer, said Calinawan, Manay, Davao Oriental is among the country’s geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDAS), and in the last decades, the New People’s Army (NPA) has made the community a nerve center and training ground.

“The absence of government projects and programs owing to its considerable distance from the town’s economic center is among the reasons the insurgents had taken complete control of the community and their neighboring villages in the towns of Manay and Lupon,” Deloso told the Philippine News Agency (PNA).

DAVAO CITY -- The Department of Agriculture in Davao Region (Region 11) urged rice farmers in the region to plant the next generation or ‘NextGen’ varieties.

Jissel Cardines, DA-11 NextGen focal and science research specialist, told Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Saturday (Aug. 31) that said varieties are climateresilient and resistant to pests and diseases.

He said it is an elite inbred and hybrid rice lines developed to attain desirable traits such as high-yielding ability, disease resistant, flood, drought, heat or salinity tolerant.

Cardines bared that elite rice varieties were meticulously monitored from planting to harvesting with farmers using their indigenous knowledge and experience.

Sensory evaluations were also conducted to ensure that said varieties are also palatable and will be acceptable to the consumers. Rice varieties (such as NSIC Rc 216, Rc160, Rc222) bred by the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) and Rc 300 produced by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) were the top four most preferred rice varieties of Filipino farmers in irrigated lowland fields nationwide, both for dry and wet seasons.

Cardines, who led the NextGen research team, said their 2017-2019 field trials resulted to three emerging varieties in terms of its superior quality and adaptability to most of the region’s ecosystem. These are Rc222,

Rc216 and Rc160 which are also recommended by PhilRice.

However, Cardines also clarified that inbred varieties such as Rc402, Rc436, Rc480, Rc 27 and special purpose rice Rc218SR are also good varieties based on their studies, which is suitable in Davao Region’s ecosystem.

“Cost on pesticides can be reduced. As to the production, given the right source, amount and timing of fertilizer application, favorable climate, and good irrigation NextGen varieties yield can reach 9-10 tons per cropping for hybrid and 8-9 tons per cropping for inbred,” she explained.

If not planting the NextGen varieties, Cardines said the normal production ranges from 5-7 tons both hybrid and inbred with the common practice of farmers on rice farm management.

On the other hand, Melani Provido, DA research chief, said farmers including millers and traders should keep an open mind on the emergence of the said varieties not only on its yield performance but also its high acceptability among local rice consumers.

“We urged our partners from the local government as well as our seed producers to promote these varieties for our farmers to plant it and rise above the challenges that confront our local rice industry,” Provido said in one of the recent Field Day on Next Generation Rice Varieties.

NextGen is a product of recent advances in plant breeding and subjected to multi-location testing both See FARMERS, page 10

“We will also look at the appropriate vehicle, either an (operate and maintain contract) or some other arrangement with experts.

Initially, we are looking at inviting manufacturers involved in shipbuilding either in Navotas or in Cebu,” Santiago said.

--we want all of them to come together to come up with one product for that facility so that may efficiency tayo (we have efficiency),” Santiago added.

Through a budget of PHP300 million, which does not include a budget for equipment and manpower, he said they are hoping for the ground-breaking of the project to happen next year.

“Those who will be coming in, we expect them to bring their equipment, their expertise -- because they are the ones who really know how to jumpstart the manufacturing process,” Santiago further said.

The planned facility would also be covered either by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) or the Board of Investments (BOI) to encourage investments from the private sector.

“We’re thinking kung ipePEZA natin or ibi-BOI natin (whether it will be covered by PEZA or BOI).

But the intention is, when we start deploying the vessels, kumpleto na yan (it’s already complete),” he said.

During the summit, Tugade also ordered strict enforcement of a DOTr department order in 2016 which calls for the phaseout of wooden-hull boats as passenger vessels.

Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) officerin-charge VADM Narciso Vingson, Jr., in an ambush interview following the event, said they have stopped the registration of wooden-hull passenger bancas two weeks ago to push the DOTr’s modernization plans and ensure the safety of maritime passengers.

such as the League of the Filipino Students, College Editors Guild of the Philippines, Student Christian Movement of the Philippines (SCMP), and Kabataan Partylist are being used to pursuade students to join the NPA. In a press conference hosted by the Philippine Information Agency, Region 10 (PIA-10), Lalaine narrated that she was recruited when she was studying in Cagayan de Oro College (COC) through the Anak ng Bayan party list.

She said she became a team leader of Anak ng Bayan in her school and was given a lecture on “Maikling Kurso sa Lipunan at Rebolusyong Pilipino” (MKLRP). She and other nine students were later brought to a beach for “panunumpa” and oriented on Kabataang Makabayan.

“Doon sa orientation, sinabi na ang Kabataang Makabayan, NDF, at NPA ay may koneksyon sa isa’t-isa,” Lalaine confessed.

Lalaine said she also underwent a three-day education on Araling Aktibista (ARAK) and one-week urban poor immersion where she used issues on wage increase and benefits to agitate workers.

She further revealed that in 2005 she went to Agusan del Sur for a three-month exposure saying that it is mandatory for the Kabataang Makabayan to integrate into the countryside.

After her integration, Lalaine disclosed that she was tasked as a youth sector organizer in Agusan. However, her personality was compromised in 2007 prompting her to move to Cagayan de Oro where she recruited students from COC, Capitol University, Liceo University, Don Mariano University, and Xavier University under the organization SCMP.

According to her, they borrowed PE uniforms and used fake identification cards to get inside the universities.

Lalaine voluntarily surrendered to the government in January, this year.

The Talakayan sa PIA was conducted upon the request of the Peace, Law Enforcement, and Development Support (PLEDS) task group of the Regional Task Force on Ending Local Communist Armed Conflict (RTF-ELCAC) in Northern Mindanao.

Brigadier General Edgardo de Leon, commander of the Army’s 403rd Infantry Brigade and co-chairperson of the PLEDS task group, said they referred the case of Lalaine to the PIA to intensify the information drive on NPA propaganda.“Kahit anong ganda ng programa ng gobyerno, sisiraan yan sa pamamagitan ng propaganda. Dito sa Talakayan, maipapaliwanag natin yung mga totoong nangyayari sa lipunan,” he said.

De Leon said Lalaine volunteered to share her personal experience to help in the information drive against NPA youth recruitment.

“Namumulat sila at nakita nila na malaki ang kanilang maitututlong sa public information kaya sila mismo ang humiling kung pwede ba silang lumitaw. Titingnan pa natin yung mga dating rebelde kung may gusto pang mag volunteer na susunod sa ginawa ni Lalaine,” he added.

lipunan,” he further said.

One of the cases referred by the PLEDS was the conduct of information drive on rebel recruitment in schools.

In response, the Strategic Communications cluster conducted a Talakayan where two former rebels were invited to share their

The 8th Infantry Battalion is serious in ending the insurgency in the municipalities of Malitbog, Manolo Fortich, Sumilao, Impasugong, Cabanglasan, and Malaybalay City, all in the province of Bukidnon.

The residents say they are emboldened by what they saw as a genuine expression of the government in forging true peace as national government agencies and provincial government departments went out of their way, risking their own safety just to reach them and talk to them.

Residents were given the opportunity to voice out their community’s shared concerns as they listed proposed solutions to these gaps through the Multi-sectoral Inclusive and Participatory Barangay Development Workshop and Dialogue.

“It is sending their strong message on their unified support to the government and their rallying cry for peace in their small Mandaya community,” she said.

Reaching out Lt. Col. Louie Dema-ala, 67th Infantry Battalion commander, underscored the importance of the government’s effort to reach out

to this critical area which the NPA rebels have been attempting to recover.

“It’s really crucial for us to make the community feel the government’s presence here. It’s high-time that we begin to reintroduce the government to them,” he said.

In efforts to win over the people in favor of the government, the members of the PTF-ELCAC started to lay the groundwork ranging from immediate to long-term interventions to address their myriad of concerns.

Moreover, as the community has also appealed for the retention of military presence in the area, 701st Brigade Commander, Brig.

Gen. Manuel Sequtin, vowed that government forces will continue to secure the area.

“We will not leave until it is cleared. We will continue sending services at the same time government forces to secure the people and for the government to smoothly implement their interventions in the area,” he said.

For his part, Governor Nelson Dayanghirang stressed the provincial government’s commitment to fast-track the implementation of all interventions intended for the said village.

Though funding for projects can be a constraint for the province, he assured that “with the national government backing up the programs, the community’s needs will be addressed the soonest time possible”.

In turn, he urged the residents to help the government foster peace.

“The government is always ready to serve the people no matter how far they are. I only ask that you support our government because we have only one government in our country -- the Government of the Philippines,” Governor

Sara said the GCTA might have not become an issue if “the death penalty is in place.”

In reaffirming her support to death penalty, the Presidential daughter said: (There is) no point in using government money in keeping them alive. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth for heinous crimes convicts is reasonable.”

She said the release of drug convicts was saddening.

“Ang hirap ng magpakulong tapos makalaya lang (It’s already difficult to send somebody to jail and then they would only be released). There is really good behavior inside the jail because their freedom is restricted. Give them freedom and they will party,” she added.

Sara said the release of drug suspects was a blow to the government’s war on drugs and is infuriating.

“It even encourages EJK,” she added.

Sara also supported the calls to make the names of those freed based on GCTA public.

“The list should be made public. It is laced with public interest because they are convicts. Chances are high they will commit crimes again. That is our reality.

or credited to their personal bank accounts under SSSaccredited partner banks.

The SSS Chief also appealed to all member-borrowers to religiously pay their monthly amortizations within the agreed-upon payment term to avoid accumulating interest and penalty.

“Salary loan has a corresponding interest rate of 10 percent per annum based on the diminishing principal balance and shall be paid over 24 months or equivalent to two years. In case the borrower fails to pay it on time, SSS shall continue to charge a one percent penalty every month and 10 percent annual interest rate until the loan is fully paid,” Ignacio concluded.

“To avoid any inconvenience on your final claims such as retirement or death claims, we are urging the public to pay your obligations on time to avoid incurring higher obligations caused by penalties and interests,” she added.

To closely monitor the salary loan application status and payments, memberborrowers may check their My.SSS accounts via SSS website, SSS Mobile App, and SSS Self-Service Information Terminals (SSITs) in selected SSS branches nationwide. They may also call the SSS Hotline at 920-6446 to 55 and local Toll-Free Services at 1-800-10-2255777 and send appropriate keywords via SMS using the Text-SSS facility.

tains to the head of the Bureau of Corrections National Penitentiary in Muntinlupa City. Why did this head, Director Nicanor Faeldon, signed the release order of former Calauan, Laguna Mayor Antonio Sanchez, when the former town executive was clearly not qualified to be so released?

No doubt, Faeldon knew, or ought to have known, what Republic Act 10592,

or the “good conduct time allowance” (GCTA) law contains. Faeldon also knew, or ought to have known, on account of his own personal acumen and intellect honed by his stay at the military establishment, that Sanchez could not have been eligible to receive the benefits of that law.

So, all points indicate that Faeldon had a very grave and compelling reason that prompted him to sign the documents allowing Sanchez to go scott-free.

And this is what the Senate, under Sen. Richard Gordon of the Blue Ribbon Committee, should endeavor to discover or unearth. Faeldon is no oxymoron. And he is not someone who could easily be cowed by anyone into releasing Sanzhez. Let’s wait and see if Gordon can have the wit and the mental agility to find out what lies behind all these!

administration obviously failed because there won’t be any complaints if the problem was addressed in the first place. The incumbent town council should investigate this and if so warranted, recommend action to the mayor.

The town council may also consider amending or crafting new ordinance requiring more stringent compliance to environmental laws and imposing heavier sanctions against violators.

And also what’s this I heard that the dump trucks confiscated by the incumbent administration for illegal quarrying activities were supposedly released after the town turned them over to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)?

At any rate I hope Tagoloan Mayor Gomer Enan Sabio is up to the task and he resolves this immediately and decisively.
