Arrested Lumad leader placed under guv’s custody By Vanessa L. Almeda of MindaNews

SURIGAO CITY – The arrested Lumad leader from Lianga town in Surigao del Sur is now out of jail and in the custody of provincial Governor Johnny Pimentel, a police official said Wednesday. Supt. Jeffrey Lawrence Mauricio, Tandag City police chief, said that Jalandoni Campos was released Monday night after a court order was presented to them. Campos was handed to Pimentel at about 9:23 p.m. Monday based on the transfer of custody order issued by Judge Alfredo Jalad of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 28 in the municipality of Lianga, Surigao del Sur. The order was signed at about 7:30

p.m. the same day. Campos was arrested last Saturday night by the police and elements of the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA) and the Regional Intelligence Unit (RIU) after an interview at a radio station in Tandag City. He was nabbed by virtue of an arrest warrant issued by Jalad on May 2, 2011 for murder and rebellion charges. Campos was allegedly involved in a New People’s Army raid at the Lianga police station on April 28, 2011. Apart from the court order, Mauricio said they released Campos because of the massing of people outside the police station. “For security reason also

since there were already people picketing outside the station. He has many supporters,” the police official said. S om e 2 0 0 Man o b o tribesmen had picketed the Tandag police station, including teachers, students, nuns and those from other support groups. Another 80 persons protested outside the RTC Branch 28 office. Campos is the chair of Malahutayong Pakigbisog Alang sa Sumusunod (MAPASU), which is active in the campaign against large-scale mining in the Andap Valley complex in Surigao del Sur, which covers the towns of Lianga, San Agustin, San Miguel, Tago and Marihatag. In a statement, Myr-

na Belandres, MAPASU deputy secretary general, welcomed the release of Campos, attributing the swift action of the court to the “unity of the Lumad people together with the other concerned sectors.” She said unity is a “superior instrument in the search and achievement of the truth. Let us further strengthen our unity and cooperation so that we can achieve genuine justice and peace in our society.” “The bombardment of support and public outcry hastened the normally snail-paced court process that expedited the signing of the court order,” Dr. Naty Castro, Karapatan-Caraga secretary general, said. In a phone interview

Tuesday night, Castro said the transfer of Campos to the custody of the provincial government was based on security and health reasons. Campos’ defense lawyers have emphasized to the court that unidentified men were already tailing him since the warrant was issued, she added. As to his health, Castro said Campos, who is 55 years old (not 45 as earlier reported), is a diabetic who needs to take daily medication. She said the transfer of custody order “will be effective until the case is resolved.” Castro noted that they specifically sought to have Campos in the custody of

Governor Pimentel because of the continuing threats on his life and his health condition. Karapatan-Caraga claimed there “there were at least two attempts by NICA and RIU elements to have Campos in their custody” in the last two days. Mauricio confirmed this but did not release Campos to them in the absence of a court order. For Pimentel, Mauricio said he offered to provide sanctuary to Campos after his arrest last Saturday night. The provincial prosecutor’s office promised to conduct a “complete reinvestigation” on charges filed against Campos. (Vanessa Almeda/MindaNews)

of this, we’ve done many things wrong, and put our sinful pride between us and God. Yet because God loves us so much, instead of destroying us, He humiliated Himself by becoming a human being named Jesus Christ, to give His innocent life and pay the penalty for

all our wrongs and sins. Then after He was dead and buried for 3 days, Jesus did something no other person in history has ever done: He brought Himself back to life so we can be forgiven and free, to live His right, fully satisfying life both now, and after we die. Well, I hope I made it clear. And now that you know t he t r ut h ab out Christmas, I hope that you’ l l ma ke t he r i g ht choice, and ask Jesus Christ for His gift, of forgiveness and new life, so you can enjoy living His right, successful way every day. Just Think a Minute.

way, the High Tribunal, perhaps, would decide on the Cayetano issue not after the midterm elections this year. Otherwise, either a favorable or an unfavorable decision would certainly affect the conduct of the election. For instance, if the Supreme Court would favor the Cayetano petition, the COMELEC would certainly file for reconsideration. Cayetano would do the same should the Supreme Court deny his petition. The COMELEC, however, would be at the advantage point since until at the Supreme Court renders a final decision, R.A. 9615 would remain lawful and constitutional. In other words, candidates should observe R.A. 9615 or face prosecution. What prosecution? We have raised the question in our previous columns since R.A. 9615 did not explicitly carry penal provisions. R.A. 9615 simply said that candidates, publishers (in the case of newspapers), and station managers (in case of radio and broadcast stations) would be criminally liable and, “if applicable, further suffer the penalties of suspension or revocation of franchise or permit in accordance with law.” (Sec. 7, g-6). While under R.A. 9615 it appears that candidates could be held liable, what was specific was that publishers, owner of both radio and television stations, where the object of the prescribed penalties. Well, that is how we interpret R.A. 9615. We know the COMELEC would stand by its interpretation. What we could say then is that if Cayetano believes that R.A. 9615 was unconstitutional, Congress should amend the “Fair Election Act” laws. After all, the primary objective of the Congress is to hammer and amend laws beneficial to the common good. React crisguardian@yahoo.com

Truth the only way out in Jonas Burgos kidnap

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Jesus said, `If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free’…” (John 8:31-32, the Holy Bible). -oooTRUTH THE ONLY WAY OUT IN THE JONAS BURGOS KIDNAP: The entire Armed Forces of the Philippines, and even the entire Aquino government, must now be agonizing as to what to do with increasing revelations that, despite official denials, soldiers and officers of the Philippine Army were really the ones that kidnapped Jonas Burgos in 2007. If they continue to deny the accusations being made against the military by Edita Burgos, the mother of Jonas, and the Supreme Court later allows the disclosure of the

Kakampi mo ang batas Atty. Batas Mauricio confidential documents which came from the military itself, that would show that the entire AFP and the entire Aquino government conspired to hide the truth about the Jonas kidnapping, and the people are not going to forgive them for this. The only option now is to make a clean breast of it, disclose the truth and everything else about the kidnapping, and hold liable each and every soldier and officer, whether ranking or otherwise, or any other individual who may have had a hand in the case. Truth is

the only way out now, and the AFP, the Philippine Army, and the entire Aquino government, should realize that soon enough, unless they want something more explosive to come out first before spilling the beans. -oooCOMELEC HIT ANEW ON PARTY LIST DISCRIMINATION: The Commission on Elections must have to answer the latest tirade from ALAM Party List, seriously accusing the poll body of corruption in accrediting a party list group that is not qualified to be accredited.

In a Facebook post, the party said: “ALAM chairman Jerry Yap, ALAM lawyers Dervin Castro and Cirilo Sabarre Jr., have taken the witness stand to prove that COMELEC approved the application for accreditation of a party list that has no chapter, no members, no track record, no campaign organization in any region of the country. “This was during the March 19, 2013 hearing at the Commission on Elections Session Hall. Instead of being a neutral judge in the issue, Comelec Commissioner Elias R. Yusoph acted as the lawyer of the group being challenged by ALAM. Commissioner Ma. Grace Padaca asked a few but sensible questions. “If COMELEC denied the application of ALAM that has at least 30,000 kidnap | page 10

A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II

Poverty the result of deprivation Since his ascension to the papacy, Pope Francis had been mouthing his pontificate’s bias for the poor that theologically is the right thing to do since poverty is not a choice but the result of deprivation. When man started to amass so much for him self even beyond what he could possibly consume in his lifetime, such act resulted in the deprivation of others to their rightful share of God’s bounty. Theologically speaking, this is what sin is all about. Sin is man’s willful disobedience to God’s will. God willed that everyone has a rightful share to the bounties of the earth so that everyone could live life in its fullness and abundance. When one accumulates so much for himself, necessarily he will have to deprive others to enable him to do so. Accumulation is the equal opposite to sharing that in the bible is vividly pictured in the feeding of the 5,000 story. Accumulation is contrary to God’s will thus it is sin in its vilest form because it pushed others to live a life in poverty or in want while a few lives in wanton abundance. When only 40 families in a nation with 100 million population are enjoying 78 percent of the fruits of the nation’s economic growth, that my dear readers is deprivation and is very much contrary to God’s will. When five percent of the population shares among themselves 80 percent of the nation’s wealth, that my dear readers is deprivation thus contrary to God’s will. When Kristel Tejada ended her life because of her travails in life, she was a victim not of her lack of desire to improve her lot but because she was deprived of the chance to improve her

lot. Tejada was the freshman behavioral sciences student at the University of the Philippines in Manila who committed suicide when she could no longer pursue her dream of finishing college education when she was refused enrollment in the second semester of the just concluded school year due to her failure to pay her tuition in the first semester. It is under this very oppressive and exploitative social situation that government is called to play the role of being the great equalizer between the longings of the poor to improve their situation of penury and want against the greed of the few to accumulate or amass more wealth. The greed to accumulate more is best illustrated by the establishment of giant shopping malls that resulted in the extermination of smaller retail enterprises that just could not compete with these malls. The greed to earn more is best seen in the purchase by the leading telecommunications company, Smart, of Sun Cellular to establish a near monopoly in the country’s telecoms industry. You may say that this is just an ordinary transaction in today’s business. But the problem with companies becoming giants and thus larger than the government itself, they become untouchables and beyond the equalizing power of the government. Did you know that the government through the National Telecommunications Commission had ordered two years ago yet for the country’s two giant telecoms firms, Smart and Globe, to reduce their text messaging charge to P.80 per text message to any

CTB’s annual convention

I had the privilege of witnessing the changing of the guards of the Chamber of Thrift Banks during CTB’s recent annual convention. TG Limcaoco, president of BPI Family Bank, took over the helms of the chamber from Patrick Cheng, president of HSBC Savings Bank. It was an auspicious occasion for the thrift bankers whose convention theme was Building for Broader Horizons in 2013. The event was graced by no less than BSP Governor Amando M. Tetangco, Jr., BSP Monetary Board Mem-

Speaking Out Ignacio Bunye a resource speaker during the convention’s morning session. For our non-banker readers, thrift banks refer to that classification of banks which consist of savings banks, private development banks and savings and loans associations. In terms of

bers (Peter Favila, Andy Suratos and this writer), Deputy Governor Nesting Espenilla and other BSP senior officials. Gigi Montinola, president of Bank of PI, and himself a former president of the Chamber of Thrift Banks, was also a guest and

size and banking activities, thrift banks occupy a notch below commercial banks but above rural banks. Thrift banks focus on retail lending, specializing in such areas as small business loans, housing, auto and personal loans. I got my first car loan and subsequently my house improvement loan from a thrift bank. As TG Limcaoco aptly put it, “Thrift banking is not about thrift, but really, about financial inclusion. In the early days, and even up to today, thrift banks set themselves up in areas where annual | page 10

Inflation and the time value of money

Do you still remember the time when you had to shell out just two shiny large 1-peso coins for an 8oz bottle of Coke? Or when Halls Mentholyptus was just 25 cents apiece? It all seems like a nottoo-distant memory. But have you ever really wondered why prices of commodities go up through time as surely as the sun rises early in the day and sets later at nightfall? We could only wake up each morning with the fervent desire that our earning power would also hopefully go up at a level that at the least matches or perhaps even goes beyond this rise. It’s the phenomenon

The financial doctor Dr. Adonis Agcopra called inflation at work! Dictionary.com defines inflation as “a persistent, substantial rise in the general level of prices related to an increase in the volume of money and resulting in the loss of value of currency.” In the Philippines, inflation rate is reported by the National Statistics Office (NSO) as the monthly or annual growth rate in

the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Major categories in the Philippine CPI include food and non-alcoholic beverages (39%); housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels (22%) and transport (8%). Minor categories include health (3%), education 3(%), clothing and footwear (3%), communication (2%) and recreation and culture (2%). Other goods

and services account for the rest. Year-on-year headline inflation rate for February 2013 was pegged at 3.4%, with a significant impact from increasing prices of alcoholic beverages and tobacco due to implementation of the Sin Tax Reform Act of 2012. Trading Economics reports a Philippine historical average of 9.03% from 1958 until 2013, with an all-time high of 62.8% in September 1984 and a record low of -2.1% in January 1959. Supposing you have a thousand pesos to spare and a running 10-year mean inflation of approximately 5%. Investing this amount MONEY | page 10

A day in Baganga and Cateel

Last Monday, I joined retired Archbishop (Emeritus) NANDING CAPALLA together with retired Publisher NILO CLAUDIO and visited “Typhoon Pablo’s” whacked areas Baganga and Cateel in Davao Oriental -almost about 4 months after the devastation. Retired Col. SAMMY AFDAL whose Bell helicopter shuttled us to the coastal towns decided to skip the trip as it was his birthday that day. Oooops, I almost did not notice it but yes, all of us are RETIRED.. No, definitely not yet tired. But spell it “RE-TIRED” -- new tires fitted for more road traction on the long ,long road still ahead! ( At our age, it’s good to deceive result | page 10 and console ourselves once

Advocacy Mindanao Jess Dureza in a while. hahaha!) The flight was shorter, less than one hour, than the last time Sammy and I flew one month after “Typhoon Pablo” last January. The last time, we had to skim the coast due to bad weather. This time, veteran pilot, Capt. REY ACOSTA crossed over the mountain range. The weather was perfect. We landed at the abandoned airstrip at Lambajon just off the center of Baganga

town. It used to be an old logging area and during the early years, there were chartered commuter planes connecting Baganga town since there were no good roads then. I remember in the early 70’s while still a young law practitioner, I was representing a housemaid who accused four Baganga policemen of raping her. I would fly to attend court trials there via “UNIAIR”, a chartered single-

engine 4-seater provided by the priests who convinced me to take on the case “pro bono”. I did but with great hesitation, not only for the obvious physical dangers of prosecuting local armed policemen in their own turf, but due to the remoteness of Baganga. (Obviously, it was a celebrated case and I recall, the whole town would climb trees around the full-packed “municipyo” just to witness the trial.) Our single-engine plane then would make several fly-bys to shoo away goats and carabao grazing before the bumpy touchdown amid swaying coconut trees close to call for a landing. L ast Monday, Capt. Acosta flawlessly landed Day | page 10

A thousand days to keep the millennium promise By Ban Ki-moon United Nations Secretary-General

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but starting this week we can march a thousand days forward into a new future. On April 5th, the world will reach a vital moment in history’s largest and most successful anti-poverty push – the 1,000-day mark before the target date to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. These eight concrete goals were set in the year 2000, when more leaders than ever before gathered at the United Nations and agreed to cut global poverty and hunger by half, fight climate change and disease, tackle unsafe water and sanitation, expand education and open doors of opportunity for girls and women.

It was not the first time leaders had made lofty promises. Cynics expected the MDGs to be abandoned as too ambitious. Instead, the Goals have helped set global and national priorities, mobilize action, and achieve remarkable results. In the last dozen years, 600 million people have risen from extreme poverty – a fifty per cent reduction. A record number of children are in primary school -- with an equal number of girls and boys for the first time. Maternal and child mortality have dropped. Targeted investments in fighting malaria, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis have saved millions of lives. Africa has cut AIDSrelated deaths by one-third in just the past six years. There are also Goals and targets where we need far more progress. Too many women still die in childbirth, when we have the means to save them. Too many com-

munities still lack basic sanitation, making unsafe water a deadly threat. In many parts of the world, rich and poor alike, inequalities are growing. Too many are still being left behind. To accelerate action, the international community should take four steps now. First, scale up success through strategic and targeted investments that have a multiplier effect, boosting results in all other areas: one million community health workers in Africa to serve hard-to-reach areas and keep mothers and children from dying of easily preventable or treatable conditions; scaled-up investments in sanitation; universal access to primary health services, including emergency obstetrical care; and adequate supplies to address HIV and malaria. promise | page 10

members nationwide, 11 regional chapters, provincial chapters in all provinces of Region III and Region IV-A, barangay chapters in all of Manila’s six districts, leaders who have led the fight to uphold press freedom and justice for slain journalists, WHAT THEN SHOULD BE THE STANDARDS TO MEASURE TO ACCREDIT A GROUP APPLYING FOR PARTYLIST ELECTION REPRESENTATION? Comelec Chair Sixto Brillantes was saying his mission was to cleanse the partylist list of accredited groups. But why did this happen?” Indeed, Brillantes and the whole Comelec must have to clarify this, because they owe it to the “daang matuwid” (straight path) program of President Aquino, and because with their apparent double standard in approving or rejecting a party list group, they have committed the high crime of culpable violation of the Constitution. -oooBUSINESS AS USUAL IN KOREA? THAT’S DANGEROUS! The Department of Foreign Affairs’ assurance that overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in the Korean Peninsula need not worry yet at this point, allegedly because it is “business as usual” in South Korea, is itself worrisome. Remember the warning of Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in the Bible about the end of the world? He said that when the end will come, it would be “business as usual” for many people, but that would spell their doom (read Matthew 24:37-39 and see what I mean). -oooREACTIONS?

the larger commercial banks were hesitant to open.” Today, thrift banks are present throughout the country through 1,600 branches, 70 per cent of which are located outside Metro Manila. It is estimated that thrift banks provide banking and bankrelated services to close to 5 million Filipinos. In 2012, the thrift banking industry grew its assets almost ten percent to Php 666.17 billion. Compare that to the situation years ago when, as Gigi Montinola described, “the sum of the entire thrift bank industry then (was) the size of one major thrift bank today, both from the asset and capital perspective.” With respectable asset growth and an expanding network, Limcaoco said: “We can and should be the engines of the countryside.” But to be able to do that

we need “ to build our skills, our capabilities, our institutions so that we can do more for our customer base”. Taking the cue from the BSP, Limcaoco added that : “We need to take a leadership role in financial literacy so the general population understands how to use the financial system responsibly and to their benefit.” The road ahead for the entire banking industry looks rosy - thanks to the country’s strong growthlow inflation rate scenario, a robust external position, stronger consumer confidence, and just a few days ago – a country investment grade rating. But the industry needs to do more. To further broaden the thrift banking industry’s horizon, Governor Tetangco and Gigi Montinola left precious words of advice for the thrift bankers.

in an instrument giving you 5% annual return rate will just allow you to break even with the 10-yr inflation average. What more if you just let it sleep in an account giving you less than 1% interest per year? Inflation will then slowly erode its value over time. Intelligent investing offers you a good headstart from inflation. Imagine your money or capital positioned in investment instruments earning you 15% or more on average each year? Subtracting the current inflation rate from the earning power of your investment tool gives you your effective investment growth rate. This becomes real money working for you! Invest intelligently and beat inflation! With the most recent increase of the country’s rating to investment grade BBB- by Fitch, now is one of the wisest times to invest in the Philippines. Time is of the essence. Act now! ----Dr. Adonis Agcopra, MBA, CIS, RFC® is with the IARFC and is portfolio director of AFIC Meridian Consultants. URL: www. aficfinancialconsultants.com.

the chopper at a spot beyond the reach of the rope of a grazing cow who looked bewildered at the rotor noise and wind gust. After a quick breakfast at a

destroyed parish church (or whatever was left of it), we motored to an interior Sitio Banahaw . There we met and dialogued with Mandaya and “erstwhile” coconut farmers -- “erstwhile” because there were no more coconut trees to speak of ! We unloaded some goodies from Nilo’s “Midtown Printing” van that ferried them all the way from Davao City (7 hours on the road) courtesy of “Nanding Boys” and Archbishop Nanding’s volunteers from Davao City. Even the medical dental team of the ANFLOCOR FOUNDATION sent by ANTHONY ‘TARAS’ SASIN joined us. From there, we took off again for a brief flight to Cateel, the next town and considered the worst hit. Capt. Acosta maneuvered the chopper in a clearing hedged between two destroyed buildings with twisted iron trusses and steel frames like crumpled paper. It was to be the brand new public market of Cateel town but never got to its inaugural opening day. “Typhoon Pablo” overtook the occasion. We motored to the site of the “Gawad Kalinga” project where construction of about 35 new houses (of the planned 100 units) for victims was just on its fourth day. GK’s RENE RIETA and BRENDA MILAN, wife of ART MILAN of Davao Light & Power Co. were there with their team. Here one can marvel at the volunteerism of those who came to help. There were office employees from companies and groups from as far as Manila and surrounding areas who encamped under spartan conditions, staying there for days and building structures to give new hope to the locals. Archbishop Nanding said mass for all of the volunteers on a makeshift stage. Then we motored to San Alfonso Elementary School, an interior area and inspected restoration work done on the destroyed classrooms assisted by the “Nanding Boys” under the “ROOF A CLASSROOM PROJECT” where generous donors helped with their cash donations to quickly put roofs on destroyed schoolhouses. The school principal was effusive telling us that the school was ready to hold its graduation ceremonies that week not worried if the rains would come. We took off back to Davao City that afternoon. As we hovered and cruised overhead, the destroyed houses had new roofs, some with temporary plastic materials. The landscape that used to be dark started to look green. The felled coconut trees (estimated at several millions) still litter the hillside, perhaps being attacked now by beetle (or “bakukang”) and might lose their economic value in a few months if nothing is done about it fast.

An idea came to mind: why not flood the area with chainsaws so the locals can save those coco lumber that can be barged (by sea) to the market outside? They earn a livelihood and they can clear their lands for new trees or new crops for the future. Just a thought. I cannot forget the look on the faces of those who gathered around when we landed in Baganga. Their excitement and brightened faces on seeing visitors in a helicopter suddenly disappeared when we talked about “the future”. The relief assistance could tide them over but there WAS NO ‘PANGINABUHI-AN” or livelihood for tomorrow. Typhoon Pablo deleted their future. Shall we all help to restore?

network? But this order until now remains unheeded by the two telecoms firms. Why? The government is powerless in implementing even its own order. This is the evil when one, a natural or juridical person, becomes a giant, a Goliath. They become abusive just like Goliath in the bible. The government should have been the David in situations like this. But unlike in the biblical account where David succeeded in slaying Goliath, in this particular case, David, the government, is helpless and is just being laughed at by Goliath. Even in the enjoyment of the fruits of the working class’ labor, the latter is simply being paid subsistence wages enough to allow them to breath the air of life while their employers enjoy to the hilt the income made possible by the working class’ sweat and blood. If this is not deprivation of the working class’ rightful share to the bounty that they themselves created or earned for their employers, what is? This social dynamics about deprivation resulting in poverty on the world’s masses is what is hurting Jesus whose death and resurrection we just celebrated last week. This deprivation should be the biggest concern of the church and government. The church as the conscience of society should see to it that government plays its role as the great equalizer in abating the ill-effects of poverty by bringing the poor to their own Promised Land. This is what government officials are there for. Therefore, this should be the yardstick the electorate should use in choosing their elective government officials come May 13. --(Reactions at jelbacon@ yahoo.com or at jelbaconii@ gmail.com)

Ensuring equal access by women and girls to education, health care, nutrition and economic

opportunities is one of the most powerful drivers of progress across all the Goals. Second, let us focus on the poorest and most vulnerable countries, home to some 1.5 billion people. Often dogged by famine, conflict, poor governance and large-scale organized criminal violence, these countries are finding it most difficult to make progress despite their best efforts. Many have not yet achieved a single MDG. By investing in regions such as the Sahel, the Horn of Africa, and Central Asia, we can promote a virtuous circle of economic development, human security, and peace building. Third, we must keep financial promises. Budgets cannot be balanced on the backs of the poorest and most vulnerable. It is ethically unacceptable and it will help neither donor nor recipient. Despite austere times, many countries have been exemplary in honouring pledges. New donors among the emerging economies are also stepping forward. We should applaud these efforts and encourage more. Fourth, the 1,000-day mark should be a call to action to a global movement from governments to the grassroots who have been so critical to success. We should also harness the full power of technology and social media – opportunities that were not available when the Goals were formulated at the turn of the century. The MDGs have proven that focused global development objectives can make a profound difference. They can mobilize, unite and inspire. They can spark innovation and change the world. Success in the next 1,000 days will not only improve the lives of millions, it will add momentum as we plan for beyond 2015 and the challenges of sustainable development. There will be much unfinished business. But, as we look to the

next generation of sustainable development goals, we can find deep inspiration knowing that the MDGs have shown that, with political will, ending extreme poverty is achievable and within our grasp. Let us make the most of the next 1,000 days and make good on our Millennium promise.

said she will donate to farmers who want to produce their own organic fertilizers, composting facilities to help them improve on their farming. Villar said she and her husband Senator Manny Villar have been producing organic fertilizers for seven years now in their home farm in Las Pinas and have been helping farmers in Luzon, Visayas and now in Mindanao by donating composting facilities, which can produce dry organic fertilizers in five day’s time. The former lawmaker has received the Filipina

Entrepreneurs of 2013 by Go Negosyo for her exemplary achievement in providing livelihood projects to indigent Filipinos. Villar said she has been encouraged to pursue her advocacies by the awards she continue to receive, including the promotion of the barangay-based livelihood centers that she has also established in Las Piñas. Villar said she has established a total of 35 livelihood projects in Mindanao alone. More than 500 families have been benefiting the same project in Las Pinas and are being duplicated all over the country with a total of 111 pilot centers already established nationwide. (CO)

power and harnessing sustainable and renewable power resources,” the party-list solon said. Meanwhile, a renowned Filipino economist, Gerardo Sicat said the power problem in Mindanao is a crisis waiting to happen. In his published position paper on the impending power crisis in Mindanao, the first director general of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said “the signs had been known by all concerned for years, especially by the national government.” “The credibility of Mindanao elections and the power needs of Mindanaoans are being held hostage by power multinationals and their bid to fast track the completion of the power industry’s privatization,” said Ilagan. The Gabriela solon believes that an overhaul of the Aquino government’s energy policy is necessary and called for the repeal of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act.
