“It is not just enough that we require qualified voters to register through biometrics,” said Provincial Election Supervisor Cirilo Nala of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) adding, “but we need a special law that will require mandatory [not just require] registration of qualified voters to register through biometrics.” The implementation of biometrics stemmed from the passage of House Bill 1030 on November 12, 2012 authored by Senator Manuel “Lito” M. Lapid. With the birth of biometric authentication comes the the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) or the
biometric identification (ID) that uses digital imaging technology to obtain, store, and analyze fingerprint data. Fingerprinting, as a form of personal identification, is a refined methodology that is proven in practice and accepted in courts of law. Nala, who was the guest speaker of the just-held seminar on Election Coverage conducted by the Philippine Press Institute (PPI) held at the BWM Media Center in Cagayan de Oro, said mandatory registration of qualified voters through biometric will eliminate multiple registrants and even “ghost voters.” comelec | page 10

NPA storms Del Monte Phil. camp in Bukidnon By CRIS DIAZ, Associate Editor
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - The New People’s Army, the military arm of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), staged a military action against Del Monte Philippines in Bukidnon with precision and specific targets Tuesday evening. The undetermined number of rebels commandeered two cargo trucks in assaulting the company’s main camp located at Camp Philips, Bukidnon, disarming a security guard of a gas station, torched heavy equipment at the motor pool right at the entrance of the main camp, and strafed the company’s main administration building inside the camp’s compound. A security guard identified as Alfredo Neri Jr. assigned at the Del Monte’s administration building inside the company’s compound was killed in an exchanged of gun fires with the rebels armed with high powered firearms. The rebels strafed the company’s main administration building at Camp Philips wounding three civilians identified as
Franklin Nillales, Leofil Ubanan, and Mario Ayuban. After 30 minutes siege, the rebels withdrew to the mountainous Dahilayan, west of Bukidnon, carting away 10 firearms including the M14 rifle of a certain Supt. Bimbo Jumalon whose responding team from Malaybaly was on their to way to Manolo Fortich when flagged down by the a check point mounted by the armed rebels in Atogan Bridge in Impasug-ong, Bukidnon. Based on military and witness accounts, the NPA rebels mounted blocking force at the national highway leading to Del Monte Philippines in Camp Philips, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon about 6:00 p.m Tuesday. Military authorities said that these blocking forces were located in Atogan Bridge in Impasug-ong and Sumilao, all in Bukidon and in the borders of Mambatangan in Cagayan de Oro City and Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. Police and military investigators also disclosed that vehicles traversing in these areas were also disabled due to spikes
spread out by the rebels in the main highway apparently to delay responding law enforcers. Col. Eugenio Julio Osias III, spokesperson of the army’s 4th Infantry Division based here, said that the undetermined number of rebels belonged to the main regional guerrilla front of the CPP’s North Central Mindanao Regional Command. In a synchronized moved, the rebels also assaulted the company’s satellite camp in Villa Vista in Sumilao, Bukidnon where they burned the warehouse filled with fertilizers and the staff house there. Sumilao town Mayor Rey Baula reported that about 20-armed men seized the company’s satellite camp located some 50 kilometers southwest of Camp Philips in Manolo Fortich. Baula said there was no report of casualty in the Sumilao attacked. The company pioneered by an American migrant sometime in 1935 controls more than 16,000 hectares of land, some 10,000 hectares planted with pineapple.
Turnover of Day Care Center Congressman Rufus Rodriguez poses with the stakeholders in the turn over ceremony of the renovation of the Day Care Center in Purok 6, Barangay Cugman worth P170,000. Witnessing the activity are Day Care Center teacher Lorejane Tilao, Barangay representative Kagawads Miller Cagatin, Maria Elsie Jandayan and Rolando Alsa. Also in photo: DPWH officials ADE Cesar Hipona, Engr. Nicoline Blanco and day care students
It was the first time that armed communist rebels stormed Del Monte Philippines, one of the largest multi-national tropical fruit companies in Asia, with pineapple as its main product distributed worldwide, after almost 100 years in operation in the Southern Philippines Island of Mindanao. In 1990s, the plantation expanded to the neighboring towns of Impasug-ong and Sumilao where the company rents idle farm lots in the area.

The company employs about 3,000 regular workers and hundreds of ‘piece workers’ in the plantation site. Gregoria Madlos a.k.a. ‘Ka Oris,’ spokesperson of the National Democratic Front (NDF) in Mindanao, said that punitive actions against Del Monte Philippines would likely take place in the future. He said that the military actions taken against the pineapple company were to ‘punish’ the company for destroying the environment in the wake of the expansion of pineapple plantation in the area. Madlos blamed Del Monte Philippines, Inc. for the disastrous flash flood brought by
typhoon Sendong that resulted in the death of hundreds of people living along the Cagayan de Oro City River in Dec. 17, 2011. Osias, however, dismissed Madlos claim saying the NPA attacked Del Monte Philippines in Bukidnon since the pineapple company refused to pay ‘protection money’ in the guise of revolutionary tax to the communist rebels. He said the military was also verifying reports that the NPA staged the attack to warn political candidates in Northern Mindanao against those who might refuse to pay ‘campaign fee’ in the midterm election in May this year.

THINK a minute. In a war rule number one is you must know who you’re fighting. Otherwise, you’ll waste a lot of time and energy fighting the wrong enemy. Our life’s daily struggles are like a battle. But many times the enemy we’re fighting is right inside our own mind! Nothing can defeat and damage your life more than your own wrong thinking about yourself. If you believe that you’re not smart or don’t have any special abilities, then you’ll never succeed in life because that’s just how you’ll live. We become whatever we think we are—even if it’s not true to begin with. That’s why the Bible says:
Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst “As a man thinks about himself, so is that man.” Your low self-confidence will limit and paralyze you. You may actually have many abilities, but if you don’t believe you have them, then you’ll never use them and benefit from them.

it gives up and stops trying. After that, only a small, thin rope is needed to tie that big, powerful elephant down and stop it from moving far. The rest of its life, that elephant believes the lie and illusion that it’s too weak to break that little rope. You see, we all can become a bit like that elephant. If I let myself think and believe that I cannot go any further in life, even
though it’s not true, then I won’t. That’s the power my own mind and wrong thinking about myself can have over my life. Friend, if you realize that you’ve been holding yourself back from living the successful life God created you for—because of your own wrong thinking about yourself, your own fears and lack of self-confidence, you can change your mind about yourself today. Just ask Jesus Christ to take full charge of your thinking and way of living. Jesus is the One Who can show you the abilities and potential He’s given you. He’ll give you the power to actually start changing and living your life to the fullest. Just Think a Minute.
Army (NPA) statement emailed last night signed by a certain Allan Juanito who claims to be the spokesperson, NPA North Central Mindanao Regional Command. “The simultaneous and coordinated military operation (against Del Monte and Dole-Stanfilco) in Bukidnon was a forthright statement that the revolutionary movement is Cris Diaz determined in meting out punitive actions against the giant agribusiness companies for exploiting and oppressing the workers, peasants and Lumads, and seriously ravaging the environment. After a series of killer typhoons wrought havoc to the hapless victims, the culpability of the environmentallydestructive operations of logging, agribusiness and mining companies is repeatedly exposed. Now is the time to serve justice to the victims of these man-made calamities. The sudden surge of flood water in Cagayan River caused by Tropical Storm Sendong, which swept thousands of lives and billions worth of property, clearly shows the extent of current environmental destruction in the region. The once lush watershed forests of Kitanglad and Kalatungan Ranges, where the headwaters of the tributaries of Cagayan River
originate, are gradually being denuded until now. In its foothills are waves upon waves of pineapple and banana plantations owned by the imperialist Dole and Del Monte companies. During heavy downpours, tons of soil contaminated with toxic chemicals is washed out to Cagayan River. The environmental damage caused by pineapple plantations is comparable to that of mining, since the natural terrain is levelled using heavy machineries in preparation for planting. According to an environmentalist, for every hectare of pineapple, 100 tons of soil are eroded yearly. Since the last decade, these agribusiness companies have been competing for amassing agricultural lands which are the main source of livelihood for the great majority of the population. Del Monte, Dole and SUMIFRU, which dominate this sector, in collusion with landlords, are the most aggressive in grabbing the lands being tilled by peasants for food crops and replacing them with fruits for export. Del Monte has been operating in the region for almost a hundred years now. Up to 90’s, Del Monte occupied 45,617 hectares of pineapple plantations. This does not include other areas which were not declared or which are nominally owned by other landlords and contract growers. From pineapple plantations, it expanded its operations to other fruits for
UNA’s fault
THE direction the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) is treading with regard the three common candidates it shares with the pro-administration Team PNoy is becoming clearer now and it is to put an end to their own folly by finally dropping them from their ticket. This is not surprising, however, especially to the veteran political analysts. There is no way that UNA can continue with its own folly of adopting Sens. Loren Legarda, Chiz Escudero and former censors board chair Grace Poe as their common candidate with the administration coalition. At one point or other, UNA had to determine for its own good whether it is a yellow opposition to the administration or a true-blooded opposition. The early gambit UNA had adopted is slowly backfiring on their face no less. At first UNA avoided a head-on
A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II collision with President Aquino and the political coalition his Liberal Party (LP) forged with the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), the Nacionalista Party (NP) and the Akbayan party list group. Even UNA senatorial bet JV Ejercito at one time proposed a single set of senatorial candidates since everyone is backing up Aquino anyway. When such adventure was not given even the slightest consideration by the pro-administration parties, UNA was forced to adopt a posture of being
supportive and friendly to the Aquino administration but will likewise not hesitate to play the role of fiscalizer for the good of the country. This dilemma of UNA is actually caused by one of the coalition’s triumvirate leader’s desire to have his cake and eat it too. Vice President Jejomar Binay’s incongruous posture that he is supportive of Aquino because he wants to keep his post as member of the latter’s cabinet is the culprit of its woes. Binay’s public pronouncements that he has been a friend and ally of the

late President Aquino and to the incumbent president as well proved that he is not ready to appear an ingrate to the Aquinos especially at this point. But his reluctance only succeeded in putting himself and UNA in a ridiculous position. While Aquino maintains that UNA is his political foe, the UNA leadership is doing their best to project an image of being a yellow opposition. The coalition is ill-advised in projecting this image. It’ll never work to their advantage. Binay can’t continue serving the cabinet of Aquino and at the same time attack the president for being its fiscalizer. The adoption by UNA of Legarda, Escudero and Poe as their candidates also only showed a sign of weakness on their part. They should not have ventured into this folly in the first place. fault | page 10

NGCP readied precautions vs Crising Skills Registry System The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) implemented the necessary preparations and precautions to minimize the impact of Tropical Depression Crising on NGCP operations and facilities. Preparations include ensuring the reliability of communications equipment, availability of hardware materials and supplies necessary for the repair of damages to facilities, as well as the positioning of line crews in strategic areas, to facilitate immediate restoration work. NGCP’s Integrated Disaster Action Plan (IDAP) prescribes these and other procedures to ensure the readiness of all power transmission facilities which are expected to be affected by the passage of the weather disturbance. At 10:00 AM Tuesday. the tropical depression was estimated, based on satellite and surface data, to maintain maximum sustained winds
of 45 kph near the center and move west northwest at 22 kph. TD Crising is expected to make landfall over Jose Abad Santos, Davao del Sur within the afternoon. NGCP’s Overall Disaster Command Center, which
operates 24 hours a day, will monitor all power restoration activities, reports and updates from the Regional Command Centers in North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, whichever is directly affected by the
weather disturbance. It will also closely coordinate and communicate with the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC), other government offices, local and national media agencies.

to be established in Oro IN line with the intention of Mayor Vicente Y. Emano to provide avenues for employment to its constituents to help them improve their lives, the City Council during its regular session Tuesday presided over by Vice Mayor Caesar Ian E. Acenas enacted Ordinance No. 12529 establishing the Skills Registration System. The ordinance was introduced by Councilors Alexander S. Dacer, chair of the committee on labor and employment, and Ramon G. Tabor, chair of the committee on laws and rules, who noted that unemployment and underemployment continue to be a perennial problem of Kagay-anons. It may be recalled that the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) established the SRS to address mismatches and to serve as a tool for job seekers to find opportunities. The ordinance requires each barangay to appoint or designate a Barangay Manpower Skills Registration Focal Person, who shall undertake purposive data gathering, encoding of manpower information and updating of register. The Power learned that the SRS database shall be linked to www.phil-job.net, the official
job portal of the Philippine Government, so that information can be viewed anywhere at any time through the internet and job matching can be done online. To realize the goals and objectives of the program, a City PESO Management Council shall be created to set guidelines on the establishment of the SRS. It will be chaired by the city mayor with the chair of the committee on labor and employment; the president of Association of Barangay Councils, president of any labor union, professional groups or vocational associations within the city duly selected by the mayor to represent the labor force; the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) manager and vice president/ registrar/curriculum designer of the Technical and Vocational school, as members.

Editorial. : mindanaodailynews@gmail.com Advertising : mindanaodaily.ads@gmail.com them as beneficiaries of “Silya ni Gloria sa Eskwela” project to produce school chairs from the confiscated logs in Caraga region. The 23 square meter pre-cast homes with concrete wall panels reinforced with bamboo poles which can withstand even strong typhoons is designed by Peter Hammerle, a German adviser of global NGO called Foundation Theseabled Persons, Inc. which has an office in Manila. Hammerle, a furniture and housing design expert, has been technical consultant of the cooperative in the production of high quality furniture and worked on establishing linkages with international financial institutions to pursue their projects and trainings. Ordona said about five houses will be initially inaugurated on February 28 in Cateel together with the ground breaking of the mini-sawmill project. He said the local government in Cateel has given them the go signal to pursue the coconut lumber production project after a study by the Department of Agriculture had shown that rotten coconut trees would affect the soil fertility of farm lands.
With the new technology, he said no one will dare to vote twice or thrice as erring voters can be immediately identified and recognized through the use of computers. But with absence of a special law that will require for the mandatory registration of qualified voters through biometric, Nala said the Comelec will still allow those voters who have not availed of the new technology. “Alang alang og dili namo sila pabotaron nga ila man sab katungod ang pagbotar,” added Nala in vernacular. He explained the Comelec has to relax the implementation of biometric law as it will disenfranchise millions of voters. “Daghan gyud ang dili ka botar kung istriktohon ang pag-implementar sa bag-ong balaod. Mao gani nga gikinahanglan gyud ang mandatory registration,” said Nala. In his explanatory note, Lapid said: “The full implementation on the use of biometrics technology in the registration process will be a big step in purging the list of voters and pave the way for clean and honest from page 1 elections.” others were wounded when about 100 communist rebels from page 1 from the North Central will also help PWDs in Mindanao Region (NCMR) Cateel establish a mini- command launched simulsawmill for lumber products taneous attacks on the main of fallen coconut trees for compounds of DMPI and their livelihood activities.

DMPI has 23,000 hectares of pineapple plantations in the country with its Camp Philips, Bukidnon plantation spanning 9,000 hectares aside from its 5,000-hectare banana plantation in Agusan del Norte. Dole Philippines, on the other hand, operates more than 35,000 hectares of pineapple and banana plantations in various parts of Mindanao. But Col. Eugenio Julio Osias IV, spokesman of the Army’s 4th Infantry “Diamond” Division based in Camp Edilberto Evangelista, Patag in this city, denounced the NPA raid. Osias said the attacks were perpetrated to pressure DMPI and Dole to pay revolutionary taxes, which both multinationals repeatedly refused to pay. “These attacks are not anymore for propaganda purposes. The rebels have been targeting civilians,” he said. But Madlos denied the military’s claim. “It is not about money. This is about exacting justice,” he said. Elements of the 403rd Infantry Brigade, based in Camp Bahian in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon has launched a pursuit operation against the red fighters. (Bong D. Fabe)

Aniscal was a remnant of the ‘Ozamis Group’ who became a regular member of the ‘Alferez Gang,’ an organized crime syndicate engaged in a series of robbery in Northern Mindanao, Hinanay added. He said that law enforcers armed with a warrant of arrest issued by a court in Ozamis City swooped down on Aniscal’s hideout in Sitio Mansino, barangay Mandangoa in Balingasag on Tuesday. Hinanay said that the raiding team seized a Honda XRM motorcycle, one .45 caliber pistol, and a .38 caliber pistol. Unicycle did not resist arrest, although an unidentified companion escaped during the raid, Hinanay said. He said Aniscal was suspected to be responsible for a series of riding in tandem robbery and criminalities in the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Gingoog City. According to Hinanay, Aniscal was in the list as a member of criminal and private armed groups in Ozamis City. Aniscal’s arrest took place as Cagayan de Oro
City Mayor Vicente Emano ordered local police to get criminals responsible for a series of robbery and killing in the city in the past few days.

According to Baca, some P19 million has been programmed for Corn Production Enhancement, High-Value Crop, Livestock Production Enhancement, Fishery Production, Farmto-Market Roads, Irrigation Support, Pre and Post Harvest Facilities, Extension of Reseach Support. The city agriculturist noted Amante’s concern and support for the farmers since he took over as this city’s chief executive in 2010. He said the city’s leadership has provided the needs of the agricultural sector to encourage farmers to become fully productive and to improve their living standards. “The city has been selfsufficient in rice and the city administration’s target now is to be also self-sufficient in vegetables and livestock,” he added.

export such as bananas and papayas. It continues to buy or rent land not only in Bukidnon, but has expanded now to the municipalities of the eastern part of Misamis Oriental accumulating a total of 57,172 hectares. These wide stretches of land which are turned into plantations were once tilled by peasants and Lumads who were evicted from their homes and livelihood. They stand powerless against the company’s armed security, much more in legal battles in the reactionary court. The peasants and Lumads who were stripped of their lands are now tilling the slopes on the fringes of the plantations. There are even documented cases of gastrointestinal epidemics involving displaced families feeding on food crops planted on the plantation periphery contaminated with highly-toxic chemicals Del Monte uses. In 2010, it ranked 82nd of the top 1000 corporations in the Philippines with P16.67 billion revenue. While the Campos family which owns this company rakes billions of pesos in profits, the workers here remain poor because of low wages and lack of benefits; constantly fear getting laid off for expressing grievances; and endure the suppression of their rights by the armed security. Dole on the other hand started investing here in the last decade. It now operates 16,698.7 hectares of plantations: 2,034 of which are planted with pineapple while 14,664 are
utilized for a banana. In 2010, it ranked 39th of the top 1000 corporation with P26.97 billion in revenue. Its workers suffer from exploitation and oppression. They receive poor wages—most of them are seasonally hired contractual workers—and, like the Del Monte workers, suffer from health-hazardous working conditions and the unjust treatment of the management. They worry all the more today for fear of getting laid off summarily because of Itucho Corporation’s impending takeover after the sell-off of Dole last year. Once more, we reiterate our call to these companies to end all their environmentally-destructive operations, land grabbing and their exploitative and oppressive activities. They must immediately stop the expansion of their plantations. As to their contractors, we warn them again to seriously consider the security of their business before closing deals with multinational agribusiness companies such as Del Monte and Dole.

And they should have known the negative consequences of this folly to their own political agenda. Unfortunately, because of Binay’s incongruous position, the coalition’s image now is greatly damaged. I myself could not imagine why UNA took the position of including Legarda, Escudero and Poe as its guest candidates. Did they forget that the three as official candidates of Team PNoy personally handpicked by the President no less are prohibited by simple protocol from appearing on stage where the President’s program of government will have to be necessarily assailed? Even if the three are not expected to say something against the Aquino administration’s programs or policies, my God, protocol demands they can’t be on the same stage where these are criticized. How can the UNA candidates, its senatorial bets specifically, convince the electorate that they are deserving of their vote as their watchdog against administration abuses and excesses if they are not going to publicly criticize Aquino? As a political observer myself, I really could not imagine how will UNA make itself credible if they are not going to do this. UNA’s political escapade will never work for them. And as newspaper reports indicate, the opposition coalition has started distancing itself from the three guest candidates. During their campaign sortie in Pampanga the other day, there was nothing on stage to show that Legarda, Escu-
dero and Poe are still part of that coalition. This is good for the party. UNA should make up its mind whether it is a true opposition coalition or a mere yellow coalition that even the administration coalition does not recognize. In the case of yellow unions, at least they are recognized as such by the employer and thus secretly being promoted and helped by the latter. The funny thing about UNA is that it is the one that is insisting its being a friend, supporter and ally of the Aquino administration while the latter is adamant in identifying UNA as an opposition denying all its profession of friendship, support and alliance. Now can we still say it is not UNA’s fault why it is in such a fix? Your answer to this is as good as mine. ---(Reactions as jelbacon@ yahoo.com)

main regional guerrilla front of the CPP’s North Central Mindanao Regional Command. In a synchronized moved, the rebels also assaulted the company’s satellite camp in Villa Vista in Sumilao, Bukidnon where they burned the warehouse filled with fertilizers and the staff house there. Sumilao town Mayor Rey Baula reported that about 20-armed men seized the company’s satellite camp located some 50 kilometers southwest of Camp Philips in Manolo Fortich. Baula said there was no report of casualty in the Sumilao attacked. The company pioneered by an American migrant sometime in 1935 controls more than 16,000 hectares of land, some 10,000 hectares planted with pineapple. It was the first time that armed communist rebels stormed Del Monte Philippines, one of the largest multi-national tropical fruit companies in Asia, with pineapple as its main product distributed worldwide, after almost 100 years in operation in the Southern Philippines Island of Mindanao. In 1990s, the plantation expanded to the neighboring towns of Impasug-ong and Sumilao where the company rents idle farm lots in the area. The company employs about 3,000 regular workers and hundreds of ‘piece workers’ in the plantation site. Gregoria Madlos a.k.a. ‘Ka Oris,’ spokesperson of the National Democratic Front (NDF) in Mindanao, said that punitive actions against Del Monte Philippines would likely take place in the future. He said that the military actions taken against the pineapple company were to ‘punish’ the company for destroying the environment in the wake of the expansion of pineapple plantation in the area. Madlos blamed Del Monte Philippines, Inc. for the disastrous flash flood brought by typhoon Sendong that resulted in the death of hundreds of people living along the Cagayan de Oro City River in Dec. 17, 2011. Osias, however, dismissed Madlos claim saying the NPA attacked Del Monte Philippines in Bukidnon since the pineapple company refused to pay ‘protection money’ in the guise of revolutionary tax to the communist rebels. He said the military was also verifying reports that the NPA staged the attack to warn political candidates in Northern Mindanao against those who might refuse to pay ‘campaign fee’ in the midterm election in May this year.
