Labor court rules on NGCP Performance Incentives Scheme (PIS)
A complaint against the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) for the payment of the Performance Incentive Scheme (PIS) for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011 has been
dismissed for lack of merit. In a Decision handed by the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) Regional Arbitration Branch No. XIII in Butuan City on January 29, the court ruled
that complainants Amorlino L. Cudillo, Alvaro L. Salingay and 62 others have no vested right to claim the PIS against NGCP. Complainants demanded the payment of the PIS,
which they claimed as a yearly incentive bonus accruing from the efficient and satisfactory service they rendered that enabled the company to meet its performance targets set for
the years 2009, 2010, and 2011. They further asserted that the PIS is rewarded to entities regulated by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) like the National
Transmission Corporation (TransCo) and respondent NGCP upon ERC’s approval ofthe applicationfor the Maximum Allowable Revenue (MAR) of each year. ngcp /P5

Regulasyon sa pagbaligya og mga bala gisugot GISUGYOT pag-usab ni Konsehal Juan siya nga i-regulate ang pagpamaligya og bala sa mga armas. Alang kaniya, dILI ANG pusil maoy makapatay sa tawo, kun dili ang mga bala “mao nga kinahanglang but-an sa gobyerno ang pagpamaligya niini.” Ang sugyot gipalanog ni Konsehal Sia tungod sa obserbasyon ni Konsehal Roger Abaday nga nagkadaghan ang kaso sa krimin sa dakbayan.
“Panahon na nga ang pagbaligya sa mga bala ma-regulate aron mapakgang ang mga krimen ug maprotektahan ang katawhan,” dugang ni Konsehal Sia. Matud niya nga bisan pa og ma-regulate sa gobyerno ang pagbaligya sa mga pusil, libre gihapon si bisan kinsa pagpalit sa mga bala. “Dili baya mobuto ang mga pusil, kung walay bala,” pasabot ni Konsehal Sia.

Priority on resilient schools in Mindanao By Marie Ann Tapayan Liloan Central School Bonifacio West District
THE occurrences of weather disturbances hitting Mindanao bring to fore the urgent need to make Mindanao schools safe from disasters and calamities by way of disaster-proofing. Prime movers of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation for Asia and the Pacific are enjoined to contribute time, energy and resources for the safety of schools, knowing well how helpless and fragile children are. The civil society can also volunteer and support this kind of project that must be considered a priority. Aside from being second home to vulnerable children, schools and health facilities are also considered the shelters for evacuees; hence, schools are critical public infrastructures, especially in times of disaster when victims need emergency refuge, services and medical care. Therefore, schools, along with other important facilities like hospitals, should be disaster resilient.
Besides, schools should have minimal disruption after a disaster to continue to provide a healthy learning environment for the youth. When schoolchildren are prevented to go to school for a longer period, the more difficult the learning process takes place. Based on international studies, the cost of disasterproofing a school would add only four to five percent to the cost of construction. This cost is nothing compared to the risk of destruction and death during a disaster, and the equally high health, economic and development impacts in the aftermath. Building the resilience of the education edifices to disasters is a worthy investment. It multiplies the benefit of saving lives and achieving educational goals. The Philippines is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, according to multilateral organizations such as the Manila-based ADB, World
Bank and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which are willing to provide funds to assist the country in adapting to climate change. This will make people realize that the country will definitely suffer from the dangerous consequences of climate change such as rising seas, increasing frequency and/or severity of droughts, floods and storms, climate-related illnesses and diseases. No Filipino having gone through super-typhoons Ondoy, Pepeng, Sendong or Pablo could possibly dismiss the climate change issue since these type of weather disturbances have been predicted to occur more frequently due to climate change. The advocacy for the widespread understanding of the vulnerability of the country to climate change must end with the implementation of strategies to reduce or minimize the adverse effects of climate change.

BALSA – Moderno na ang teknolohiya, sementado na ang kadalanan, apan nagpabilin gihapon ang kinaraang matang sa sakyanan, sama sa balsa nga giyuron sa kabaw ug ubang mananap.

Ang NGALAN arang makaluwas Unsa man ka importante ang pangalan sa isa ka persona aron ang usa ka kalag malangit? Importante gyud kayo mga higala tungod kay matag pangalan nagabitbit kini sa iyang BINUHATAN, DAUT MAN O MAAYONG PANGALAN! Ang isa ka pang publiko nga panagway (Public Figure) sama sa mga artista, politiko, mag-aawit, bisan ang isa ka kriminal o relihiyosong pangulo o daghan pang uban, matag-usa kanila mailhan nimo kung unsa siya nga klase nga binuhat. Sa hisgutan mahitungod kon unsaon malangit isa lang ka pangalan ang gimantala sa Pulong sa Dios(BIBLIA) ang klaro og tataw nga gihinganlan.
Doktrina Kini nagpasabot lamang nga bisan kinsa nga pangalan walay katakos nga makaluwas. Unsa man ang imong ngalan? Ang imong ngalan nagadala sa imong BINUHATAN, DAUT MAN O MAAYONG PANGALAN. Nahisulat ba sa Biblia ang imong pangalan nga kini makaluwas bisan sa imong kaugalingon? WALA!!! walay bisan kinsa nga tawo’ ng arang makaluwas sa iyang kaugalingon nga kalag. Nagkinahanglan kita og isa ka pangalan nga mao ang dawaton ug tuohan aron kita malangit o maluwas.!
Kana mao ang naginusara nga NGALAN ni Ginoon’ng Jesu-Cristo. “Kay Wala nay lain’ng NGALAN nga gihatag ubos sa langit dinhi ibabaw sa kalibotan nga kita maluwas ( malangit ) .” (Mga Buhat 4:12) Siya nga mitoo Kaniya dili na pagahukman sa silot (Linaw sa Kalayo) : Apan siya nga wala mitoo gihukman na’ng daan, tungod kay siya wala man mitoo sa NGALAN sa bugtong anak sa Dios. (Juan 3:18) “Sa kadaghan nga nagdawat Kaniya, kanila Siya naghatag ug kagahum nga mamahimong mga anak sa Dios, bisan kanila nga nanagtoo sa iyang NGALAN.” (Juan 1:12)
Crimes in Cagayan de Oro City I was reading online newspapers from Cagayan de Oro and some areas in Mindanao and truly I was startled by the excessive incidence of crimes. What drove me even farther is that Cagayan de Oro, it seems, is becoming fast a capital of major crimes in northern Mindanao. Of course, I understand this because the city is the largest in the area and naturally has more people – and certainly more criminals. It is truly alarming and perhaps because the city is so close to my heart, I am drawn emotionally sad and afraid. This is just horrible. I am wondering what happened to our law enforcers, our city government and the concerned citizens who should be alert on the matter. Bangon Kagayan, a group of local citizens who are alarmed of the situation cited a litany of crimes that included murder, robbery, rape, abduction and so many. This is really terrible and looks like Chicago in the USA during the thirties. I am
very much involved not because I have a lot of relatives there especially people from Balingasag and Tagoloan but because I always tell people wherever I go in America, Europe, Canada, Germany, etc. that I am from that city. My children were born there, three studied and got degrees from Xavier University. In any language, I am a Kagay-anon, truly one from there. So whatever happened to the city, I am always a part of it even if I am now thousands of miles away. Whatever it is, the crime situation in the city reflects the work of the authorities that certainly include all departments of the city government. I believe something should be done to improve the situation. One of our pride there is the advent of strangers and tourists who visit the place to enjoy the air, sunshine and the beauty of the city. We have a lot of immigrants that have settled among us. Many of them put up investments in business
Hisgut-Hisgut lang
BEN EMATA JR. thus contributing immensely the growth of the city. Driving them away because of excessive crimes could make our city miserable in the coming years. We have to think about that. Crimes are the worst enemy of growth and success of any place. When I was there, we sit all day on the benches of Plaza Divisoria undisturbed. People roam freely everywhere because peace was beautiful and nobody gets hurt even past midnight. We enjoy singing and drinking in restaurants and truly it is a place where friends meet friends. That is the reason why we call the place the city of
golden friendship. But where is that golden friendship when people are stabbed? People are shot dead? When bag snatchers are abundant? When the girls are afraid to go shopping early in the evening? Have we lost this beauty in our hearts? Have we allowed strangers to rule our streets and kill people as they please? What is happening to our city? I wish our law enforcers tackle this job of cleaning the city of criminality. Let us restore the city streets to the hands of our residents. Let us allow them to enjoy the beauty of the city without any fear of incidence of crime, The criminals have their place in the city and provincial jails. They should not mix freely with innocent people and enjoy the freedom of committing crimes. They should be throw to the lakes where they enjoy friendship with the sharks. Let us give honor and dignity to our city, to our good people who have loved the place so well and so sincerely. (ben-emata.com)

President Sorongon emphasized to all PMAP CDO Chapter officers and members to ensure that global standards on people management are met and Filipino people managers’ capabilities are at par or even better compared to their counterparts in the region, if not globally. In her speech, she also posed a challenge to the new set of officers to expand, if not double, the chapter’s membership this year. She further encouraged all people management practitioners to look beyond the HR discipline and to take calculated risks in exploring new ideas. She emphasized the significant role of HR practitioners in charting, designing and implementing new strategies and approaches amidst some radical changes in the country’s work environment. Meanwhile, outgoing president Precy Capitan paved the way of the challenge to the newly inducted set of officers and directors as she lauded the members and guests with her euphoric valedictory address highlighting the chapter’s 2012 remarkable accomplishments during the turnover ceremony. In deep gratitude of her leadership milestones, she awarded two member companies that extended their all- out support to the chapter during her term as chapter president. These companies are STEAG State Power Inc. and Del Monte
Phils. Inc. Accepting her leadership role, newly installed PMAP Cagayan de Oro Chapter President Aida May de Guzman expressed the chapter’s commitment to align its programs and activities with the current strategic direction of the national association. She also underscored the strategic role of PMAP in creating and nurturing a community that fosters the development of the Filipino human capital and in blazing new trails as thought leaders. “As the local arm of PMAP in Cagayan de Oro City and neighboring areas, we will continue to pursue the implementation of programs and projects that fulfil PMAP’s mandate of helping companies and organizations especially the small and medium enterprises (SME’s) achieve effectiveness and greatness through sound people management, effective leadership and continuing human capital development” de Guzman said. She also expressed confidence that with the continued support and cooperation of all officers and members, the PMAP CDO Chapter will sustain its reputation as one of the outstanding PMAP chapters in the country. PMAP-CDO Chapter has been awarded six times since 2000 as best chapter in the Philippines. This year’s induction rites and first GMM was also graced with the presence of the past presidents, the Junior PMAP officers, executives and officers from the different business sectors and the academe. PMAP Chapters Committee Director In-charge Dr. Josephine Go and Chapters Committee Chair Ms. Louisa Mila Echevarria also guested the occasion to present the new set of officers and to charge them, respectively. The occasion culminated with a fun-filled fellowship dinner flavored with the sponsored hearty raffle prizes from the member companies and the discovery of the members’ hidden talents in singing the different genre of songs.

Once the application is approved by the ERC, the regulated entity is authorized to collect the funds for MAR and PIS from transmission customers. The complainants - former employees of TransCo who were absorbed by NGCP after the latter took over the business operations of TransCo in 2009 -- alleged that they received the PIS reward earned as TransCo employees in 2008, but NGCP refused to release the PIS for the years 2009, 2010, and 2011. The court ruled that NGCP is an entity separate and distinct from TransCo and any monetary grant or benefits extended by the complainants’ former employer TransCo over and above what is required by law does not bind NGCP. The law also recognizes that any grant of bonus cannot be demanded by the employees from its employer and that any monetary grant over and above what the law requires is a management prerogative which cannot be forced upon the employer. The Decision further ruled that the complainants cannot invoke the PIS as a form of monetary benefit granted to workers for their satisfactory service to enable NGCP to meet the performance target because the PIS, as granted by the ERC, is meant to reward or to penalize NGCP should its actual level of performance exceed or go below the target level of performance in a particular regulatory year. It was further noted by the court that ain ERC’s reply to the letter of NGCP seeking clarification on the purpose of the PIS, the ERC wrote that “under Section 8.2 of the Rules for the Setting of Transmission Wheeling Rates (RTWR), the PIS in intended to reward or penalize NGCP as a Regulated Entity.

Gani, gapaningkamot kita nga adunay magdala sa religious sector dinhi sa Opol,” pulong ni Mayor Yasay. “Posibleng adunay pipila ka hisgutanan nga dili kami magka-uyon, pero wala gyod ako’y pagsupak sa pagsabwag sa maayong pulong sa Labaw’ng Makakagahum sa matag relihiyon,” patin-aw sa mayor. Gipasabot usab niya nga iyang gitamod ang ‘separation of church and state’ diha sa sa pagserbisyo sa katawhan. “Hisgutan siguro nato ang atong boundaries kay kinahanglang irespito ang polisiya sa gobyerno ug ang mga lagda sa simbahan aron walay overlapping,” matud niya. Ehemplo niya, nga kung dili ka mosimba ug dili ka mokooperar sa parokya, dili ka man gani bunyagan, dili ka sab kaslon. Susama pud sa atong gobyerno nga kung dili ka mananghid, dili ka usab tugtan.” Dugang niya nga kung adunay mga kalihokan sa gobyerno ug sa simbahan o religious sector, ipananghid man gyod sa atong local nga kagamhanan aron maplastar ang kahusay ug kalinaw. “Dili lamang kita mo-ingon nga tungod kay ako Romano Katoliko, pabor na dayon ako sa Katoliko. Dili tungod kay ang akong kaliwatan Muslim, pabor na usab dayon ako mga Muslim,” pahayag ni Mayor Yasay. Siya mipasalig nga “atong ipatas ang tanan, Lumad, Kristiyanos o Muslim kay ang isyu mao ang imong pagkalumolupyo kansang tinguha mao ang kalinaw ug kahusay sa atong lungsod ug kaayohan sa kadaghanan.

Famador...... from page 1
sa La Fraternindad, Tubay – wala napakita og lig-ong ebidensiya batok kang Atty. Famador. Ang lig-on nga mga katarungan sa sinumbong ug sa iyahang defense panel, nakatabang usab kaayo sa pagpabor sa Korte ngadto kaniya. Gitin-aw sa Korte nga si Atty. Famador nagpuyo sa Tubay diin aduna siyay duha ka balay
ug nga ang tukmang dapit diin siya nahimugso mao ang Mountain Beach Resort nga gipanag-iya sa iyaha mismong pamilya. Kahinumdoman nga kaniadtong petsa-22 sa Enero ning tuiga, si Barangay Kagawad Salas mipasaka og ‘exclusion case’ batok kang Atty. Alan Famador. Uban sa maong kaso ang laing petisyon nga nagtinguha pagpapas sa pipila ka laing mga Tubaynon gikan sa listahan sa mga botante. Nadawat ni Atty. Famador ang notisya sa reklamo upat lamang ka adlaw sa wala pa ang pasi-unang husay nga gitakda kaniadtong Enero 25, ning tuiga. Na-uswag ang maong pasiunang husay kay kulang ang ‘judicial affidavits’ sa mga petisyoner, apan sila gihatagan gihapon sa Korte og higayon nga makompleto sa ilahang kakulangon, bisan pa man nga ‘dismissal’ unta ang komon nga desisyon sa ingon niadto nga situwasyon. Matud ni Atty. Lovejoy Quiambao nga niadtong higayona ma-dismiss na unta sa Korte ang petisyon tungod sa mosunod nga katarungan: 1. wala nalakip ang ERB sa Tubay, isip party-respondent; 2. kakulang sa ‘judicial affidavit’ sa mga saksi sa petisyoner; ug 3. wala pagsubay o ‘nonconformity’ sa affidavits sa mga saksi sa mga petisyoner nganha sa Judicial Affidavit Rule. “Kusganon kaming misupak, apan gi-relax sa korte ang kalagdaan ug gitugtan ang petisyoner pagpakita sa ebidensiya batok sa among kliyente,’ pulong ni Atty. Quiambao. Dugang niya nga sa dihang gipresentar na ang tanang saksi sa mga petisyoner, “among nasuta, ug bisan ang Korte nakamatikod, nga ang mga pangutana ug mga tubag diha sa affidavits sa mga saksi, ginagmay man o dinagkong mga punto, puparihas ra.” Kung ibasi sa pulong sa Korte Suprema, ang maong matang sa mga testimonya matawag og tinudlo-tudlo lamang o ‘coached testimonies’ ug dili angay paminawon sa Korte. “Mao nga nagtoo dayon kami nga ang mga petisyoner wala nakapanalipod sa ilahang kaso,” dugang ni Atty. Quiam-
bao. Ang ulong abogado sa petisyoner mao si Atty. Joseph Tomaneng, kinsa maoy bana ni Mayor Sadeka Tomaneng sa Tubay karon. Si Atty. Tomaneng, umagad o son-in-law sa bise mayor karon sa Tubay nga si Fidel Garcia, kinsa mokandidato pagka-mayor ning maong lungsod sa Mayo ning tuiga. Si Atty. Famador mokandidato pagka-mayor sa lungsod sa Tubay karong umaabot usab nga piliay, ubos Liberal Party (LP). (Advertorial)

Sila mihangyo nga kung aduna’y mamatikdang pagpangilkil sa bisan unsang pundok, itaho dayon ngadto kanila. Sa iyahang bahin, si Governor Calingasan miaghat sa kapulisan ug kasundalohan nga bantayan ug batokan ang mga dautang elemento, kansang katuyo-an mao ang pagmugna og kagubot ug kahadlok sa katawhan.

The plight of the Filipino Teacher’s Camiguin animals By Winkie John A. Mercado Intavas Elementary School La Fortuna Impasug-ong, Bukidnon
Since childhood, I always look up to the TEACHERS as ROLE MODEL of the children and view them with utmost respect considering that TEACHING is supposed to be a very DECENT and REPUTABLE occupation. This might be the prevalent factor which urged MENTORS to earn a degree in EDUCATION. The reason that I became one of the most highly regarded professionals of the society today. During the early centuries of the Philippine Education, the methodologies used are centered on KNOWLEDGE and SKILLS handed down to the learners from generations to generations. It is chiefly focused basically on the fundamentals of READING and WRITING. Later on, the educators find it necessary to inculcate VALUES to the pupils to ensure TOTAL HUMAN DEVELOPMENT of the Filipino Children. VALUES as well as CURRENT EVENTS were then included in the curriculum. The recent plight of Philippine Educators is, however, so frustrating. We went through an ERA when the youth lost interest
in taking up Bachelor’s Degree in Education for the degrading character of TEACHERS allegedly involved in unpaid LOANS, engaged with side line business inside the classrooms and most of all, charged with corruption for collecting unnecessary fees from the students. This is explicable since the efforts of our mentors were poorly compensated. Moreover, the community expects so much from them and matches them up to the economic status of other professionals in the community. Conversely, the TUTORS recapture their repute nowadays. With the latest INNOVATIONS implemented by the Department of Education, the discharge of ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM to foster adult literacy, the opportunities offered to the INDIGENOUS PEOPLE to acquire knowledge and wisdom just as any other sectors of the society and the K to 12 Program adapted by the government, the TEACHERS of today recapture their distinctive status in the community. To the ROLE MODEL of the Filipino Youth… Congratulations and Thank You!
