Cagayan de Oro's Square Garden

Gaston Park

By Dr. Blas Ch. Velez (In commemoration of the 65th Anniversary of the City Charter of Cagayan de Oro, we are bringing back these stories on “Birthing the City”)

id you know our pre-Spanish Kagayanon ancestors once had their own version of the famous Madison Square Garden? Present-day Kagay-anons will be proud of the fact that they share a common bond with their 15th century forefathers-they all have, at one time or another, taken a stroll along our local square.

Our square was once one of these things: an arena similar to Blasco Ibañez's Blood and Sand epic, a baseball park, a military camp, a place of Catholic worship, a battlefield, and a dreaded execution site. It is now a lovers lane, a place for evening meditation, a jogger's delight, and a place where a royal prince fell in love with a Moro princess-thus giving the town its name, Cagayan. If a tape recorder were available during these dif-

ferent eras, we would be able to hear the different events that transpired at the Square. The "hisses", the "boos", the thunderous ovations, the sobs, the laughter, the "vivas!", the groans of deep pain, the religious hymns. What a delight it would have been to be able to "hear" history in the making! During the pre-Spanish era, the Square was a fortified place where the royal family of Cagayan lived. It was here where the Higa-

Establishing a solid and winnable case against a corrupt public officer or employee may ordinarily take a longer time compared to other crimes,” Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III, sponsor of Senate Bill No. 2422, said. Senate President Franklin Drilon said that the measure was "a manifestation of the determination of Congress to stamp-out corruption in the country, by making sure that time does not hinder our quest for justice nor provide a loophole for the corrupt.”

"Our justice system can only be a strong deterrent against possible malfeasance if we demonstrate that no matter the passing of years, a crime remains a crime and those who committed them must answer for them," he stressed. Drilon a lso said that the proposed measure will complement the amendments to the Sandiganbayan Law passed and signed into law last April “as necessary reforms that will strengthen the nation’s justice and legal system.” Pimentel noted that under the current system, a 15year prescription is being observed in the filing of

The legend dwells on the shame the loving pair brought on their tribes-a shame, locally translated as kagayha-an. Voila! The settlement finally had a name! Then the Spaniards came. As usual, the fair-skinned colonizers started bastardizing the local names of places. Finding "Kagayhaan" a tongue-twister, the

kastilaloys chose the sexysounding "Cagayan." The name has stuck to this day. Now when you think Spanish, you usually think matador. The Spaniards, naturally, inf luenced our fashion, manners, our religious beliefs, our culture, and our hobbies. The most popular sport during that era was the Juego de Toro. Not the toro-toro some present Pinoys enjoy but the real thing! A bullfight dur-

Curated this year by the prizewinning Cagayan de Oro filmmaker Joe Bacus, the festival treats moviegoers to the exciting postcolonial cinematic project of imagining Mindanao as a crucial place for waging peace. The indie shorts selected for this first edition of the festival engages the community in dialogue about what it means to live – in various precarious ways – in our troubled island. “We want Kagay-anons to appreciate these inde-

pendently-produced short films by Kagay-anon film makers capturing the city in the cinematic imagery,” said Mozart Pastrano, Himugso Film Festival Director and co-chair of the CTC Arts & Culture Committee. Among them: Carmen, Tindog, En Pace, Tingki, Grasya, Bagabag, Wa Ko Kakita, Buhis Buhay, Sa Among Pag-uli and the prize-winning obra, The End of War. The festival will run at the Centrio Mall’s cinema from 9-11AM on June 12 to

14, 2015. Entrance is free on a first come-first served basis, although students of the DepEd’s Special Program in the Arts (SPA) will be given early-entry passes.

Vice Governor Pelaez pays tribute to the men and women in scouting for selfless service TAGUM CITY, Davao del Norte – As the Chairman of the Search Committee of the Outstanding Regional/Council Commissioners and Regional/ Council, Vice Governor Joey G. Pelaez paid tribute to all the awardees during the Awarding Ceremony for the 2015 Tribute to Scoutmasters, Outstanding Regional/Council Commissioners and Regional/ Council Chairpersons held in Tagum City, Davao del Norte last 21 May 2015. In his speech, Vice Governor Pelaez highlighted the importance and incessant search for well-meaning and capable individuals serving in utmost selflessness. According to Vice Governor Pelaez, it is also essential to give these individuals due recognition for their noble service in bringing “happiness and making this world a better place to live”. The Vice Governor added that the awards that these

individuals received are not just “colorful ribbons and medals”, they are tokens of “respect and appreciation”. “No, you cannot buy these ribbons; because they are priceless. They are made not of gold or silver or bronze; they are made of faith in humanity. They are crafted by millions of young hands, decorated with innocent smiles of the young and made stronger by the aspirations of those who believe in the power of love,” Vice Governor Pelaez said. He also found relief that despite the “harsh world of technology and massive commercialization,” there are still people who are willing to take the sidelines so that the “generation of would-be-leaders and good citizens of the future” can excel. He also stressed that life in the service is not a walk in the park. Calling them heroes, Vice Governor Pelaez said that they See Tribute, page 6

Mutiny at Calaganan : The Case for a Ninth Ray of the sun in the Philippine Flag By Mike Baños, Editor-at-Large (In commemoration of the 65th Anniversary of the City Charter of Cagayan de Oro, we are bringing back these stories on “Birthing the City”)

Many people have tried to win recognition for what local historians claim was the only Katipunanled revolt in Mindanao at the time of the Cry of Balintawak in 1896, but to this day, the cloak of censorship thrown by Spanish authorities over the so-called Calaganan Mutiny has effectively stifled efforts to put it in its rightful place of honor in the annals of the Philippine Revolution against Spain. Although it remains a little known fact to this day, Misamis was the only region which actively joined the Katipunan revolt against Spain in 1896. It may have occurred over 100 years ago but reopening the archives on this forgotten chapter of the country's history could change the way the present Philippine flag looks

Pio Valenzuela was the trusted aide dispatched by Andres Bonifacio to foment a Katipunan-led rebellion in Mindanao.

like. Local historians believe government should fund further research into determining if there is a need to makeover the sun in the Philippine flag with nine instead of eight rays. Every grade school student in the country is taught how the eight rays of the sun in the Philippine tricolor represent the eight provinces in Luzon which first rose in revolt against the Spaniards in 1896. But Cagayan de Oro historian Antonio J. Montalvan II says existing historical sources indicate there was one other Katipunan-led revolt in the islands which occurred during that same period in 1896 which has not been recognized by Filipino historians. The Calaganan Mutiny is detailed in the letters of Vicente Elio y Sanchez of Camiguin to the Manilabased Spanish newspaper "La Oceania Española" and two other historical sources but has never been linked to the First Cry of Balintawak led by Andres Bonifacio. Mr. Montalvan believes Mr. Elio's letters never got past Spanish censors anxious to douse support for the revolution which had broken out in Luzon. Mr. Elio was a classmate of Dr. Jose Rizal at the Ateneo de Manila. The mutiny exploded in

Historic Balingasag Church in Balingasag, Misamis Oriental.

September 29, 1896 among the so-called "Disciplinarios" or conscripts consisting mostly of convicts from Luzon, who were pressed into battle against the Moros in Lanao. In late August of 1896, the Katipunan revolution against Spain broke out in Luzon. Exactly a month after, or September 29, 1896, a group of Filipinos from Luzon who were deported to the Spanish fort Fuerza Real de la Nueva Victoria in Calaganan (present day Balo-i, Lanao del Norte) for training in military discipline to fight against the Moros of Lanao, mutinied against their Spanish superiors

upon receiving instructions from the Katipunan in Manila. They raided the Spanish armory and proceeded to Cagayan de Misamis to attack the town, being joined by some Moros. On t he way, t hey ransacked convents and homes of Spanish peninsulars. However, a joint force of Spanish soldiers and Filipino volunteers repulsed them in Sta. Ana, Tagoloan. From Cagayan, they proceeded to Sumilao, Bukidnon where they were joined by a band of 50 Higa-onons. They next attacked the Tercio Civil outpost in Balingasag, and raided the outpost of Gingoog on January 1897. By that time, news of Rizal's execution had reached Cagayan and Misamis, and this further stoked the anger of the local Katipuneros. It took the Spanish gunboat Mariveles, recalled from the Tercio Distrito de Surigao, to finally subdue the resistance in Gingoog. This was the only known Katipunan revolt in the entire Mindanao. What is especially unique about this particular mutiny is that besides happening at about the same time as the Katipunan revolt in Luzon, there appears to be a direct link between it and the Katipunan revolt in the

person of Pio Valenzuela, a cousin of the amazon warrior Arcadia Valenzuela of Lapasan, Cagayan de Misamis (as Cagayan de Oro was then known) who visited Mindanao during this period (ostensibly on instructions from Andres Bonifacio himself!) to instigate a similar revolt in Mindanao . Mr. Montalvan maintains how Augustinian Recollect chronicles confirm that this revolt was in fact instigated by a communication from Katipuneros in Luzon, making Mindanao the ninth province to join the Katipunan revolt, albeit not included in the eight rays of the sun in the Philippine flag which represent the eight provinces which first rose against Spanish tyranny. "We have yet to establish beyond a reasonable doubt the direct link between the Katipunan revolt in Luzon and the Calagan Mutiny, but there are extant sources which appear to indicate that such a link did exist, and that Pio Valenzuela did indeed come to Mindanao on the instructions of Andres Bonifacio to foment a revolt against the Spaniards," Mr. Montalvan said. Another unique aspect of the revolt was that it was participated in by

Mindanao's tri-people: the Christian immigrants, the indigenous natives in the person of Higaonons from Bukidnon, and a group of Moros from Lanao, making it not only a Katipunan revolt, but one in which all three of Mindanao's tri-people was represented. "Should a direct link be established between Bonifacio's Katipunan revolt in Luzon and the Calaganan Mutiny, then the people of Mindanao can rightfully petition the national government to add a ninth ray to the sun in the Philippine flag," Mr. Montalvan said. What needs to be done at this point is to verify primary sources such as the Consular Letters of the French Embassy in Manila to Paris where the Calaganan Mutiny is described in detail, Montalvan added. The letters are now in the archives of the National Museum in Manila, as are other extant documents like the historical account of the Jesuit historian Pablo Pastells in which the Calaganan Mutiny is also described in detail. (Postscript: It has been almost 10 years since this story was published and as far as the author knows, there has been no further studies conducted in pursuit of this topic)

Dads give go signal to 3 brgys to implement budgets

During the 12th Philippine Association of Local Government Accountants (PhALGA) National Conference, Gov. Bambi Emano speaks before 1,500 Local Gov't accountants from all over the country. In his speech , the Governor shared his thoughts about the importance of transparency and good governance in public service and lgu accountants have vital roles in implementing it. With tourism as his thrust, Gov. Bambi Emano also shared the tourist spots of the province being developed under his administration.

THREE MORE barangays may now fully implement their respective infrastructure projects and programs for this year. This, after the City Council during its regular session on Monday presided over by City Vice Mayor Caesar E. Acenas passed separate resolutions returning to Barangays Iponan, Besigan and Barangay No. 38 their respective ordinances covering their 2015 annual budgets for implementation. Barangay Iponan under Punong Barangay Rudy Guligado projected an income of P12,078,247. Of the amount, P2,147,189 is allotted for its infrastructure projects which include, among others, the construction of the barangay mini market, Senior Citizen’s building, and rehabilitation of its barangay hall, health center and day care centers. The barangay will also rehabilitate its barangay roads and install more street lights. Livelihood projects for its Barangay Women Development Council (BWDC) and farmer’s associations will also be funded. Moreover, the barangay will also extend P10,000 each for the

improvement of the buildings of the Iponan National High School, Iponan Elementary School, Bulao Elementary School and for the senior citizens chapter buildings at Iponan, Kisanlu and Bulao. For its youth programs, the barangays set aside its 10% fund in the amount of P1.2million. Out of the amount, the barangay will soon construct a Barangay Youth Office and extend financial assistance for cultural and sport activities while P603,262 is reserved as the calamity fund of Iponan. On the other hand, Barangay Besigan will have an annual budget of P1.6 million. The barangay set aside P290,919 for the rehabilitation of its water system, barangays roads and for its livelihood project under KALIPI. Barangay No. 38 under Punong Barangay Eddie Estoque will set aside P149,049 from its P1,534,153 budget for the rehabilitation of its drainage system. The barangay will also be purchasing handheld radios, megaphone and other materials to address any untoward emergencies that may hit the barangay. (ELB)

DTI, MisOr organize coffee, cacao growers business matching CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- Aiming to link the coffee and cacao growers to potential markets through business matching, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Misamis Oriental provincial office, in coordination with the provincial government of Misamis Oriental, organized a business opportunity and investment forum on 2 June 2015 at Provincial Capitol Training Center, Cagayan de Oro City. Two sessions were slated for the whole-day event: coffee growers’ forum in the morning and a forum with cacao growers in the afternoon. Guest speakers from Department of Agriculture (DA), Provincial Local Government Unit (PLGU) of Misamis Oriental, different private companies and enterprises aligned in coffee and cacao production like Nescafé of Nestlé Philippines, Coffee for Peace, Rocky Mountain Coffee, Seed Core enterprises, and Kennemer Foods International, graced the event. In his talk on coffee produc-

tion and market opportunities, Proceso M. Cortejos of Nestlé Philippines revealed that Philippines is now a net importer of coffee beans coming from Vietnam and Indonesia. This means that the Philippines’ value of imported coffee beans is higher than its value of exported ones. With this, since the total export value of coffee in the country transcends over its import value, a negative balance of trade in the coffee industry is expected over the Philippines. “Ang Pilipino sige’g inom og kape, pero minus ra ang gatanum” (Filipinos always drink coffee, but only few cultivate), said Cortejos. In an Inquirer article written by Ernesto Ordonez, he notes that Vietnam has overtaken the Philippines in the coffee industry and that Filipinos must not allow this to continue. It is also written that the Philippines, in terms of economic value, will give Vietnam P17 billion within few years, P28 billion within 10 years, and P75 billion within 20 years—making

the Philippine coffee importers and the Vietnamese rich, but Filipino farmers will still remain poor. Nonetheless, Cortejos encouraged the growers to continue farming coffee beans. His presentation showcased business opportunities that the participants can benefit from. He also clarifies that Nestlé factories don’t buy coffee beans just from traders; they also accept products from small farmers granting that a minimum of 25 kilograms is reached. Cortejos added that buying stations in almost all over the Philippines, during harvest season, are open for farmers to sell their products. Meanwhile, in the afternoon session, business opportunities and investments in cacao industries were emphasized. According to Wilson Lagdamin of Department of Agriculture (DA) region 10, the domestic demand for cacao beans is six to eight times higher than domestic production. In fact, the

country’s cacao consumption in the year 2014 ran up to an estimated 55,000 MT (metric tons) surpassing its production that totalled to only 7,000 MT. The data on cacao’s domestic supply is a big contradiction to the production in the late 1980 which attained to as high as 35,000 MT. Aside from shortage in cacao supply, Lagdamin pointed out current problems faced by the industry: unorganized cacao farmers, lack of quality planting materials, limited consolidators, lack of farmers’ sufficient technical knowhow about the crop, limited cocoa processors, and lack of funding and marketing support. But beyond all of these, Lagdamin stated that the threat of domestic and global cacao shortage is optimistically seen as an opportunity for farmers to produce more cacaos. He also added that the cacao farmers will surely have a guaranteed market due to its very high demand worldwide.

A one-on-one consultation with the resource persons and a market matching between the participants coming from Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon, and Cagayan de Oro City were conducted before the program ended. Trade and development spe-

The Square witnessed the clash of weapons and the cries of the dying. There were no gas chambers or "hot seat" during the early American occupation. Criminals, mostly bandits, were executed by public hanging. The Square saw hundreds die. The crowd-drawer was the execution of the notorious Balodong, the outlaw. His life and exploits were as savage as America's infamous Dillinger. Ju s t b e fore World War I (i.e., 1914-1918), the Square became the local afficionados' diamond - much like the World Series playing field. Winning teams included:

Smith Bell, Constabulary, Government Employees, Central and High School. They played real baseball then, not kid stuff. A familiar sight during such games was the famous "Cracker Jack", a junk food similar to the present-day popcorn. Kagay-anon volunteers for overseas duty -the National Guard- trained at the Square during World War I, prior to their assignment to the Middle East. The 1918 Epidemic of influenza claimed a heavy toll among the volunteers. Nevertheless, the survivors were able to embark on the USS Liscom with their American officers for Camp Claudio at Ba-

claran. During the pre-war years, on the evening of the Feast of Corpus Christi, altars were built around the Square. Believers visited each altar with deep reverence. Hymnsinging devotees were a common sight during these festivities. Before t he Second World War, the Square was transformed into an aesthetically landscaped park. It ser ved as the town's playground. The estate belonged to the provincial government, but after the war, it was deeded to the municipal government. Now, the Square- locally known as Gaston

Park- stands proudly as a mute witness to Cagayan de Oro's colorful past and glorious heritage. Lover's lane, jogger's delight, snatcher's paradise, or haven for the homeless... Gaston Park may be all these today but what park isn't? Gaston Park may have lost its past glamour just as the once-famous Luneta has, but both landmarks have HISTORY written all over t hem.

He was said to be agile in his movements, swift in his passes. What a glorious sight the Square was then! Oles! and Bravos! literally filled the air. During our first encounter with the American forces, the fight for freedom saw Filipino bolos and spears matching the American rif les. The Pinoys lost the fight but the gallant defenders won the respect of the enemy.

graft cases and after such period, the government may no longer prosecute graft cases. With the new measure, Pimentel said, judicial authorities would be empowered to commence prosecution of corrupt officials within 20 years from the commission of the crime. He explained that the amendment also allows state prosecutors to fight graft and corruption through “reasonable time limitations for their investigation and case build-up.” Pimentel added that many witnesses on graft cases “hesitate to come forward” with incriminating evidence for “fear of reprisal and retribution” es-

pecially when the offender is an incumbent public officer or employee. “Public office is a public trust,” Pimentel cited Article XI, Section 1 of the Constitution. “Conviction rates in graft and corruption cases remain low such that we can say that the perpetrators continue to act within a culture of impunity,” he added. “This measure signals our unending quest for public accountability and this will serve to remind erring public officers and employees that their so-called enviable lives or wealth, power, and impunity are, in fact, fraught with impending retribution by the long arm of the law, which by this measure we can say has gotten even longer,” Pimentel
